Atikah, Yana, Pe'ah and I were in a room. As usual, the three of them were talking together, whilst i sat in a corner, reading a magazine. All of a sudden, the door flung open and in stepped a fair young man with wavy hair who looked really familiar to me.
He looked at the four of us and said simply
"I need to pray. Any of you has the prayer mat with you?"
The three girls ignored him, so i got up and reached out for the cupboard. I do not know why, but instead of handing him a prayer mat, i handed him a songkok. He tried it on, and said it was too loose. I turned my back on him to search for a smaller-sized one.
His finger pointed to a small green and pink songkok. I laughed, saying it was too small for a man like him. He was adamant and kept on saying he wanted to try it on. I mocked him again, saying that it will be too small. Nevertheless i took it, and turned to him.
Somehow the young man had shrunk, and in front of me stood my late elder brother, Fadhli when he was roughly 4 years old. He grinned at me and took his songkok from my hands (it was his favourite one). He slipped it on, said thank you and goodbye, then left the room happily smiling.
My mum then woke me up for sahur. I teared whilst eating, and hastily proceeded back in my room to cry my heart out. Things would have been different if he was still alive. But as the Sunshine told me,
"Don't cry k? I'm sure he is somewhere up there and constantly watching over you and your family."
Kim's camera goes "Quack", and how hilarious that proves to be for Nassy and I. Seems retarded, yes it does, but we went "Click", "Quack" then "Giggle Giggle" for hours. Cheap entertainment. Ah yes, i broke my fast with them on Friday night.
After eating, we sat down at the steps in front of Taka and caught up with each other's lives while munching Mrs Fields brownies. For a good hour or so, we tackled friendship issues, bgr issues and whatnot. Nassy has recently broken up with Farez. It is still an issue I am not able to grasp properly, and somehow the outing just now was kinda weird without him around. Oh wells. We move on, people change. Feelings evolve. -shrugs- What's important is that i still have Nassy and Kimi by my side.
It's weird how the three of us became close friends. If i'm not mistaken, there was this moment where Kimi and i were going back home from Commonwealth Sec, and he bumped into Nassy at the interchange. Nassy was his primary school friend by the way. Then we were introduced. Then dono-what-happened, Kimi, Nassy and I became close friends. Uh ok pointless paragraph.
Nassy's getting a bike (thanks to her papa), Kimi's getting a car (thanks to his papa)... fucccckkk i oso wan vehicle can?! I asked my mum, and she pointed to my EzLink, saying
"Nah. We pay for your monthly fare what. More efficient, more cheap, more safe."
Uh. Thanks mum. Am so tempted to save my own money, get a bike license without their permission, buy a bike, and then suddenly show up in front of them on a spankin new vespa whilst grinning from ear to ear.
MAAAAN. I am so gonna appear in the orbituary section if that happens. Bleargh. Oh well. The following is a clip on what students do when their teacher does not appear for lessons.
P.S. Warning, the graphics suck dick.

Pissed.
Am very very very pissed with a certain someone. BAH!
Sometimes you gotta think of the consequences of every action that you do, you know. It's not that easy. Here i am worried sick, and you don't give a damn. Pisses me off entirely. ENTIRELY i tell you. Ruined the whole mood of the day.

Apa nye klass dah!
[[ woah! Broken malay entry sia! hahhaha ]]
Ade budak-budak dalam kelas aku eh. Aku tak boleh angkat tau. Diorang nak ponteng kelas, kalau kene tangkap, tanggung sendiri lah! Berani buat, berani tanggung per. Kalau orang lain tak kene tangkap, yang diorang dengki apesal? Dah tough luck diorang tak tau nak semunyik2 tutup track.
Aku ngan si minah tu kiter leave sekolah pastu kita gi polyclinic sebab kita sakit pe. (ehem) Abeh pastu diorang bodoh gi makan pat Jurong Point. Kononnya action gagah lah tak takut kene punish. Abeh kene tangkap, satu satu cengeng, pastu pauto orang lain. Kalau pauto sikit sikit takpa tau. ni dia pauto pasal SEMUA lesson yang aku ngan si minah tu ponteng. Macam kita nye history tutorials, lectures and other GP lessons.
Abeh skrang itu form teacher dah tau lah aku ngan minah nye record. Tadi kita kene marah. Tapi sebab si minah tu pandai distract, dan aku ni pandai sejukkan hati cikgu tu, kitorang tak lah dikene marah seteruk sangat. Taklah sampai nangis-nangis abeh nak pauto diorang balik.
Tapi yang aku marah ni, budak-budak kelas aku tu takde bende lain ke nak buat? Frust tau tak! Abeh si Minah tu nye MC dengan surat waris dari March onwards semua lesap pegi mana ntah. Padehal dia dah kasi ketua darjah. Abeh bila kita tanya, si ketua itu step buat muka selenger cakap "tak tau. tak tau. kau tak kasi pe." Pantat dia tak kasi. Budak budak sawo matang ngan brown semua eye witness.
Bodoh tol. Kelas aku betul banyak nye politik ah. Kitorang nye ratio di antara kaum-kaum is quite proportionate ah. Tapi kan... bukannya lebih merapatkan! merenggangkan lagi ada! budak budak kuning satu korner, budak budak sawo matang satu korner, budak budak brown satu corner. Terok eh?
Apapelah. Aku masih frust ni.

I so hate school.
How's the Raya Edition template? Definitely better then the last one right? (For those who managed to catch a glimpse of it last night) If you have any comments whatsoever, you know the drill.
My mom's like psychic man! Yesterday, i was having a huge craving of ikan pari. And this morning, when i woke up for sahur, guess what's on the table? PARI! Woah! Syiok man. Yum yum yum. Erks it's only 7:25 am. Must not think of the leftovers in the aisbok.
Late for school... again. I'm soooo sick and tired of school. This week is crawling slowly. Slooooowly. It's as if time just loves to mock me by making the last week of school so darn long. Bah. Hmm i guess i shall go bathe now and stuff.
Oh by the way, Wani, whoever you are, the House of Japan shop is located at Haji Lane, Arab Street area there. Hope that helps. -cheers-

E'eh nak raya!
[[EDITED: OMG this is so ugleh, don't you fight with me. TEMPORARY! Am changing it asap. Promise. ]]
Alrights. So here's the waaayy overdue post on the ex-cssians outing on Thursday. I kinda forgot alot of funny bits, so just feast on the pics aight. Teeheee.
Group pictureee.. er without Carrie uh.
I like the effect on this one.
Only 5 of us stayed on after 9. Kimi, Carrie, Fifi, Luqman and I. Carrie treated Hagen Daaz wooo!
I reached home nearing 12 midnight, and to my horror, almost got locked out of the house. The parents only relented after i pestered them by pressing on the doorbell 12271237193813 times, and calling them twice as much as the above number. (Go get your calculators)
I shall NEVER come back home after 1030pm. Scary shite, you know. Getting locked outside on a Malam Jumaat, even though its Ramadhan and all the ghosts are supposedly locked up in hell. But.. are they? Jeng Jeng Jenggg. hruhurhur. I think they are. I've yet to feel spooked or whatever when i'm awake on my bed at 1 am, like i usually do. Hip Hip Hooray to Ramadhan! Ramadhan rocks!
But you know what rocks more? Hari Rayaaaaaaaa. Haha it's like next week dude! All the kaching kaching i need to pay back my loans. Aiyoh i'm having heart/head pains lah! I still haven't gotten around to buy my Hari Raya essentials like
i) My colored contact lenses ii) My handbag iii) My haircut iv) My hairdye (maaaayybeee) v) Makeup. (Yah right. wahahhahahaha)
I don't wear make up, for those who are going "what the hell is so funny?" [ah know you know]
My mom's weird. She was giving me the cold shoulder thing last night, where she gives me one-word-answers and shoot stares at me and makes me feel really guilty for something which i have no idea what it is. And then today she merrily skips home from Johore, with bags full of stuff to decorate the house with and chatted with me as though nothing happened. Wadabubba?
I guess retail therapy does work wonders, ey?
On other outdated updates, the breaking of fast at my Uncle's place was a mini-disaster. A case of too many people, too little space. Oh well. I did have quite a time with my family at Geylang before that. GOT MY SECOND PIECE OF BAJU RAYA.
(I donoleh i kinda think my bajus this year arent that nice. so sad.)

Stomach's grumbling.
My bowel system has gone completely cuckoo! I hate having to shit when i am already on the way to school, as it meant that i have to do an about turn to get home and use the loo. I have a feeling that will happen today. o.O|||
Anyway, OWN UP! Which of you read through ALL my archives?! Damn scary eh! Are you a relative? Are you a JJC-ian? Are you a random stalker? WHO ARE YOU?! (damn i sure hope you ain't a sneaky relative with a huuuuge mouth)
Breaking fast yesterday night with the CSS peeps was a blast. Updates soon when Fifi passes me the pictures. I have to say though, some things change permanently. You grow apart from people who used to be your closest, and those you never thought would never mix with, became one of your closest friends. I guess, everything will fall in place where it's supposed to in the end.
I thought i saw a certain someone's boyfriend with another girl last night. I am 95% sure it's him, but... ntah eh. The probability is high though, since we all know he sleeps around with other girls behind her back. But... ntah eh. Oh wells, even if it IS him and even if i inform her, 100% confirm chop chop she won't believe me. So might as well not waste my precious saliva. -smiles-

Morning Madness.
Oh my. I realised it's been a long while ever since i've replied tags. I checked the older tags, and the amount of tags i have to reply will surely make my fingers drop off! Not that i'm complaining, of course. I do love getting tagged. Lots of hugs to to those who tagged me on a regular basis. -smiles-
Anywhoos, I've cleaned up the links too. Links to blogs which do not get updated at least once in a week have been cleared, so if you find your link missing, please get back to me aight.
Ok enough of admin stuff, and back to my life. (Hurhur) I went breaking fast with my cousin Annisa yesterday. It was heaaaveeeeen. This is why:
"Erks. I never bring any money you know."
"I know lah! The food is my treat!"
(An hour later)
"Eh Ica lend me $14. I wanna buy this ghazal Cd uh."
"No need lah. My treat."
(Half an hour later)
"You want or not this necklace?"
"Dowan lah. You paid for so much of my stuff already. Feels bad, y'know."
"Aiyah! Once in a while only whaaaat."
Hurhurhur. I asked her to be my boyfriend, but she refused. Oh well. At least i tried. I'm kinda late for school now, so i'm just gonna let the pictures speak for themselves. Have a nice day!
Looking for House Of Japan.
I have no idea what she sees in this shop. It's so Cash Converter-ish.
The place was uber packed. Had to share seats with a Pakcik and his son.
Was trying to sneak to the women's solat place as i was wearing a skirt.
SOOOO Many things i want to buy, but no money. Damnit!
Alright. To school i shall go!

God: I am a Male, of course. Would you really expect a woman to be running the show?
Me: THAT WAS SEXIST!
God: I thought it was too.
Me: Bah. You're mean
God: Hmm. Sometimes I say mean things.
Me: We all do. I forgive you, God.
AHAHHAAH. ok enough. i must go back to my project work. Toodles! (And no, dumbass that's not God. It's some AI thingy.)

Falala!
I am uber excited and gleeful can? Managed to sell of my iPod mini to Rad, and in turn, buy a 2nd hand iPod Photo 30Gb!
(Yes yes i know that's my blog in the background)
Initially i thought i wanted to collect all the moneh first before getting a new iPod, but then some kind soul (who is in desperate need of money), offered me his iPod Photo 30Gb at $330, PLUS AN EXTRA iPOD IN-EAR EARPHONES LEH! Those stupid in-ear earphones thingy cost around $70 alone. So let's do the maths
$330 - $70 = $260!
$260 for a 2nd hand iPod Photo 30Gb, in 9/10 condition PLUS Gmasked, with EVERYTHING included except for the manual, is too darn good a deal NOT to be missed. So therefore i pulled some rich kids' strings (ahem Rhino and Sunshine) and managed to borrow some cash from them to be paid back in 2 weeks time. Thanks guys!
So yeah, i've tested the battery, the cables, the charger, the warranty and whatnot, and everything works perfectly well! Teehee! Am the happiest grrl in the world at this moment, i guess. My only complain is that the Gmask is some jap anime named Naruto. Errr. Itchy fingers want to remove it, but then it'll have no protection. Soooo. Donolah.
I gave the In-Ear phones to the Sunshine, as he had been wanting them since forever and for the fact that he actually paid for half of the iPod photo (he bought me the iPod mini remember?). Those things were too big for my minute ear-hole anyway. hurhurhur.
Oh! Oh! I totally forgot to blog about how the deal went. The following is the SMS conversation before the meetup:
"Hey.. I hope you're not lying about whatever you said. Charge the battery beforehand, make sure everything is there, and nothing is spoilt. I got conned before buying an iPod mini, and i made the guy pay up. So for your own sake, and to save me the trouble, i hope you're telling the truth.."
"Yes yes. I swear i'm not lying. I don't like to be like the people who lie here and lie there when selling stuff. I got conned before."
"I hope you're right."
HAHHAH. FIERCE sey Faddy! Upon meetup:
"Eh i thought you're a guy."
"Why? Girls cannot be fierce ah? Hahaa."
(Does iPod transaction)
"Soo.. What happened to the guy who conned you?"
"Nah. I just got my friends to track him down and get him to pay up, if you know what i mean. Oh so you mean the battery- (changes topic)"
Wahahahhaha. I was wearing my minah specs so i hope it scared him silly. nyeahaha. But he was nice uh. Called him up at night to enquire about the installation and he gave me a step by step guide. So yeah. I hope the iPod's aok.
Alrightey. Been taking useless photos in classes but haven't had the time to upload them. So here are a two unedited ones, as i cant be arsed to do so. Veh sleepy lah.
Faddy broke her hand. Boohoo.
Fara receiving an award for getting 2nd Place in Economics for promotional exams. FOR REAL lah. Not joking. haha.
Okies. Have a nice day y'all!

I always wished.
I always wished that i had more hair. Today, i have found the solution. It doesn't involve placing other people's hair on my head (which are haram if im not mistaken), going for expensive hair treatments which may not bear results, using expensive shampoos or whatnot, and neither does it involve going under the surgical knife.
"HAHA! Now you can't say anything Mak! I AM covering my hair.. with more fake hair! Oh and by the way, mommy, its leather, not real hair from India.. So i guess its not haram! hahahhaaha."
Ok nonsense. I wonder who'd fork out US$500 to buy that, though.

After Sahur.
I woke up this morning rebooted. (As in ya know, computer rebooted. Everything gone. ) Like a "You can do whatever you want, i'll try my best to not let it affect me" kinda feeling.
YAY. I HAVE FOUND THE FORMULA.
Life - Expectations = Happyness.
(I hope?)
Haha. Oh wells. Even theories can be worked on a gajillion times before it becomes a 'Law'.
* * * * *
On other news, I have no freaking idea how to inform my mum i wont be breaking fast at home 4 out of the 7 days next week. Guilty. Guilty. Perhaps i might have to cancel plans with friends, but then that won't make much of a difference since i will be feeling guilty too, just for different reasons. Bah.
* * * * *
I am so sleepy right now. But somehow my brain just keeps on repeating
"If you don't use the com now, your brothers will use it later. So MAKE FULL USE!"
Er. Warped theory, since all i'm doing is regurgigating nonsense on blogger when i should be happily snuggled up in bed listening to emo songs whilst aromatherapy candles burn in the background.
Wait a second.. I need to pee.
* * * * *
*Flushes*
Right I'm back. Where was i? Ah. Nowhere. Seriously man, you should skip this entry and get a life. I SWEAR this entry will be totally random.
Listening to Indon songs currently. Brother reckons im turning my back on the loud stuff and turning mainstream. Oh my. Am i? Let's see whats in my Top25 songs in iPod.
1) No No - Raghav 2) So Confused - Raghav 3) Rock Ya Body Mic Check 1 2 - Stagalee 4) Pon De Replay - Rhianna 5) Rastamant Chant - Jah Cure 6) Oh Ya Canto - No Idea Who (Thats not the band name, fyi) 7) It's A Pity - Tanya Stephens 8) Can't Get Enough - Raghav 9) Dale Don Dale - Don Omar 10) A Lonely September - Plain White T's 11) Last Call - Plain White T's 12) Revenge - Plain White T's 13) Leaving - Plain White T's 14) Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow - Plain White T's 15) Sad Story - Plain White T's 16) Siti - Force Vomit 17) Riot For Mdm Chia - Force Vomit 18) Chapter Four - Avenged Sevenfold 19) This Could Be Love - Alkaline Trio 20) Armageddon - Alkaline Trio 21) You're Beautiful - James Blunt 22) Goodbye My Lover - James Blunt 23) Goodnight Goodnight - Hot Hot Heat 24) Tired Of Waiting For You - Green Day 25) It's Hard To Say - The Used
Let's do the maths.
Raggae : 9/25 Pop-ishy : 10/25 All the Loud Emo or local stuff : 6/25
OH MY. I am turning mainstream. -Slaps Forehead- Haha. Oh well. But if you look at it another way, 90% of the bands i have in my iPod are not mainstream pop-ishy stuff. haha. Whatever.
* * * * *
I am stuck at home on a Saturday. Anyone game for pool? ARE YOU GOING GYM-ING TODAY, RAD?! I am getting flabs at the sides. Kepiak Kepiak. Heh. Remember my re-enactment of getting liposuction?
Shrrrkkkkk. Shrrrkkk. Glug glug glug. Shrrrkkkk. If only getting rid of fats is really as easy peasy as that. Shrrrkkkk.
* * * * *
Maturity. Experience. An itsy bitsy tiny weeny uber-kecik wild streak. Long-term commitment. Religion. I need those in my life, not uncertainty.
And i need to hang out with my cousin Annisa soon to get some stuff done.
Haslam (Fara's BF) made things clearer the other day. I don't think i wanna do it anymore. Nyeah. Kinda wet blanket-ish, but it makes a helluva good sense. But bleargh. A part of me still wants to do it, for obvious devil-ish reasons. HAHA. We'll see.
* * * * *
There's quite a couple of Malay grrls in school who are anti-Malay. fudgers. I do dislike some of the PEOPLE in the Malay community, but i love being a Malay. The culture, the traditions. I love 'em all. I love dikir, i love dancing watching people dance, i love sajaks and puisis, i love the music etc.
Just because our race is like the worst race in terms of the problems we have (highest percentage in divorce rates, illegatimate children, prisoners, drug abusers, juvenile delinquents, school drop outs and the list goes on), that doesn't mean just because you're in JC you consider yourself to be upper classy and whatnot. Since you're so smart and all, make a DIFFERENCE lah ass.
"Oh i don't associate myself with Malays."
"Malay? (Rolls eyes)"
"I hate being in JJC. So many Malays. Would rather be in NYJC."
Eh look in the mirror lah!! You're a Malay, damnit. Stop trying to act all Chinese and mix with Chinese 24-7 and look at the other Malays like we're shit.
Eh i don't get jailed for this, right? :/
* * * * *
Somehow i envy those rich atas girls. So much money to shop. So fun. My number 1 goal in life: To break out of this middle-class (financially) cycle in the family, and get rich and let my mummy and daddy retire comfortably.
Two ways to achieve that.
1) Study hard and work hard. 2) Marry an old dying rich man.
Option (1) is hard, as you can see. With my looks, option (2) is kinda out. DAMN.
* * * * *
I wanna ride a vespa. Trenngg-Tenggg-Tenng!! Oh why did my dad and his best friend ride to Malaysia 10 years ago on a bike and got into accident which killed his best friend? Sigh.
* * * * *
Oh some people can never be understood. There's this J2 who spreaded to the other J2s that we're gossiping about her, when in the first place, the last time we mentioned her was like during the first three months? And that too, wasn't gossip. It was more of a "Oh. She's your cousin's grrlfriend? Ok lor. They look cute together."
:/ What's with my friends and i being framed one after another when all we want is to pass promos, skip classes, and just create nonsense within ourselves?
Stupid people. Get a life, then MAYBE we'll gossip about you.
* * * * *
Brothers are irritating. Having one computer is irritating. Any sponsors for a laptop?
* * * * *
OK FADDY. ENOUGH. GET TO BED. NOW!

Pardon me.
Guess who scared me silly?
Proof that even ChioBus have their cacat moments.
Dear God, if i die in the hands of Fara on Monday, please forgive her sins, as she has been a great friend to me all these while. hurhurhur. Anyway, Drama Fest today by the English Society + Literature classes was a blast!
There were plays on fairytales, lesbianism and love. All was good bebeh. I personally teared (yeah emo shit) a bit when the grrl lesbo killed herself in the end. Boohoo! Very tragic. I shall make a vow never, ever to cast weird glances at them anymore. They have feelings, man! So yeah. Good event put up, guys! -Hats off to Khai and Jonny Jon Jon- (PS the singing class.. solo singers were a lil off key? haha. But during the finale, all was nice. And yes, they deserved the best play award)
Am pissed off with two people today due to MCS related stuff, namely:
1) The OM for being unreasonable about the cupboard issue in the MCS room, resulting in room being taken away.
2) CRIPPLER, some Ahmad guy in J2, who vandalised the room and cupboard, thus resulting in US getting scolded. How do we know he's "Crippler"? Cuz its in his webby. Doh.
So yeah. The room in which we spent hundreds on, repairing and stuff, is now taken away temporarily, and the chinese stuff are still dumped in there. If i could, i'll rant all i want about racial issues in our school man, but damn i don't wanna get jailed. Bah.
Oh i forgot one important issue. WOOHOOS! I cleared my bloody promos! Grades went down though, but who cares? I'm promoted! hahaha.
Maths AO - A1 (Mantained) General Paper - B4 (Up one grade) Economics - A (Exemption) Malay A - C (Mantained) History - O (Bah. Down one grade)
Nights. I'm gonna snuggle up in bed, listening to emo songs and drown myself. Been so long since i've done that.

Depression.
At moments like these, i feel so small and insignificant. Like a speck of dust blowing in the wind. If God were to take my life away at this moment, i doubt people will miss me. I've not yet made such a big impact on anyone's life. And knowing that noone will miss me when i die is kind of a fucked up and sad way to end my life. It's as if 17 years have gone to waste. Sigh. Am i not special? -cries-
Went back home with a cloud of thoughts overshadowing my senses. So much so, that i almost died. Twice. Narrowly missed being runned down by a blue car (after which the driver gave me the middle finger salute. Oops. My bad), and then narrowly missed being runned down by a hoard of Mat Cyclists who then laughed at the scare i got. Aholes.
Excerpts from today's short outing with Rhino, Pig, Bulimic and Astroboy:
"Eh shit lah i need to pee."
"Me too! Me too!"
(Faddy closes door)
"Oh shit there's 2 freaking cockroaches in here lah!"
(Runs out, checks next cubicle)
"And here too! Fuuuck i need to pee!"
"OH FUCCK ! YOU MEAN THERE'S COCKROACHES IN THE TOILET! WHERE WHERE?!" (and so screams Bulimic in a very hysterical manner from inside the cubicle, much to the amusement of other toilet-users)
* * * * *
"Eh the chocolate thing veh nice leh. Try lah Alien."
"But it's Ramadhan!"
"Yah but you not fasting what. You having period, right?"
"Yah i having period.. but..."
"AIYAH. Here no Malays lah!"
(Chocolate oozes out in a seductive manner)
"OK FINE! Just one!"
(Faddy hides behind XiuLi and starts eating)
DAMN. I shall NEVER do that again. Feel so guilty right now.
Rhino, Pig, Bulimic and I bought girl boxers from TopShop. Heeeheee. Finally. I have to say it looks nice on me and makes me sexaaayyy, but erps. Shall not elaborate :/ (Aahha so tempted to take pictures but HAHA you don't get that priviledge)
I wanna get more sexaayy lingerie! They say what you wear inside can be seen on the outside! (as in not literally). So if i feel sexy, i AM sexy!
Haha. Crazy shits. I think im schizophrenic.

Shopping!
My palms are itching (to spend).
Lets do the maths:
Sell off 2 year mobile contract - $150. Sell of iPod mini - $200. That gives : $200 + $150 = $350.
Second hand iPod Photo 20Gb : $400. Since iPod video is coming out, price of the photo will drop an estimated $50 by Jan '06. Therefore second hand iPod Photo 20Gb by Jan '06 : $350.
YAY! (I wish)
Nyeah nyeah! I'm helpless in the hands of consumerism. Someone get me an iPod 20Gb NOW cuz mini just can't cope with the amount of mp3s i have. Or better yet, you can just help me skip future woes and get me the 60Gb iPod Video in black. -whistles-
Ok so here's a list of gadgets i want, cuz i'm bored to hell right now:
Nyeah. Ever since Promos has been declared over, i find myself too arsed to study, revise, much less go to school. Haha. It's just the norm for 17 years that post-examination activities would revolve around class trips, playing poker illegally in class, mass talk-cock sessions etc and not continuing back in Gear 4 (which means lectures have started, and tutorials are resumed as per normal. Oh, not to forget the workload. BAH!)
So anyway, the MCS day yesterday. (Not really in a mood to make this entry interesting, so please forgive me)
Fara, Rad and I had ponteng-ed Malay class left school earlier so that we could get to Ikea as soon as we can. There, armed with a budget of 70 dollars and years of experience for interior designing after browsing through hundreds of Ikea mags and watching Home Renovations programmes, we bought the stuff for redesigning the MCS room.
For regular readers, you might have remembered that i once posted that the MCS seniors had bestowed upon us a very very rundown store room to be called the MCS room. A few weeks ago, we had cleared the rubbish and left it bare. Since we had extra cash and the time, we decided that it was time to inject some life in the bare room.
We stripped the floor off the old-school flooring and replaced it with a parquet-wannabe plastic thingy. The huge graffitied metal cupboards were thrown out and in its place, a wooden Ikea cupboard which was on sale. We bought a rug and cushions to make it a more welcoming place. A shoe rack was bought to prevent the floor from getting dirty, as we discovered that some people use it as a praying room secretly. The Malay stuffs we found, like the angklung, congkak sets etc were all hung around the room as decoratives. I have to say, the place isn't complete yet. So I'll only post pics of the final product once its done, aight.
What it needs is a fan (its freaking hot in there), a radio, a clock, more cushions, a bigger rug, better lighting and hooks to tie our big MCS banner onto the wall. Yay. Thanks all for coming to help make the room a better place. -Smiles-
The journey from Ikea back to school was hilarious. The three of us thought that the huge box containing the shelf could not fit in a cab and we were like contemplating and worrying ourselves silly for around 15 mins on how to get home. But the moment we got to the taxi stand, the security guard carried the box and stuffed it in the taxi in less then 10 seconds. Wadabubba? Haha. Stupid.
Excerpts from the conversation with the Pakcik Taxi Driver:
"You all from JC isit?"
"Yes, cik."
"Oh. That's good. Study hard k? When you graduate from university, get a good job, get married, then have kids. But when you have kids, don't be stupid and quit your job."
"Err.. ok?"
"Yah. My daughter's stupid. I paid so much for her education and she got first class honours, but when she had her first child, she became a housewife. My heart aches!"
.... 10 mins later, we arrive in school. The taxi meter read $10.70 ...
"Cik.. No discount ah? haha. We students what. I can use my bus concession or not?"
"Haha.. Oklah. I give you $9 k?"
"$8 ah cik.."
"Ok can."
"Eh joking lah cik. Take take. Here's $10."
"No no need. Keep and use for school k?"
Rad & Fara shoots daggers at me.
So after that, we set off to Superbowl to get some bowling done to burn the time, and then sped off to Al-Ameen to break our fast. Although we reached there exactly as the Azan started, the food only arrived 45 mins later. Imagine how famished we were. Haha. So after gulping everything down, some of us went home, whilst the rest headed to Pool Factor.
Plus a missing Dana, Rad and Umar.
I'm getting SOOO rusty at pool, damnit. (Although that didnt stop me from winning Rad. WAHHAHA!) So yeah, i need more pool in the near future. Realised how much i missed it. -laughs- Pool, anyone?
An ok-ok day, i guess. Tomorrow's my day out with Rhino and Pig, and i guess, Astroboy too. Can't wait for it. Yay! Oh yeah, the sunshine bought a PSP along with the game Winning Eleven. I have a feeling i will lose my boyfriend... to a GAMING DEVICE. Damnit. Hahaha.
To round up this veh boring entry, here's a pic of the people who makes my JC life tolerable.
Nah this ain't no philosophical entry about life. I'm just turned off by the fact that I'll actually spend at LEAST 22 years of my life trying to cram in my brain knowledge, while the rest of my life working my ass off somewhere. Kinda stupid, if you ask me. Oh well.
Had breaking of fast with the MCS group last night. It was OK, but kind of 'lacking in spark', as quoted by Umar. Will elaborate more as soon as Fara sends me the pictures. -smiles-
Mum and I are kinda bickering at the moment. Ruins the morning, ey?

I am the happiest grrl on earth.
I dono manz whats with the almost daily dose of Faris-ish entries these days. It's like i suddenly fell in love with that boy once again. Hehe. Mushy, i know. The way he treats me these days, it makes me feel so precious. hurhuhr. It's been so long since i parted ways with him after a day's outing and still smiled to myself all the way throughout the night. It happened the first few dates and during special occasions, and it's happening again these days. Makes me all gooey and grrly and wanting to hug everything that comes in my way. WATCH OUT.
(PS im still going out with my friends ok! Am keeping in mind the moderation thing. Must learn from my mistakes, mah!)
So today after school, that boy accompanied me to Ikea so that i can get stuff for my room. He was kinda tired on the way, so i let him sleep quietly aboard 198, whilst i myself kept dozing off. Halfway i woke up to see not one, but TWO bus conductors checking Ez-Links. Wahlaney! I woke him up, and whilst waiting for the conductors to approach,
"Eh got TWO sia. If i haven't made my Ez-Link i'd be dead."
"Yeah Faddy. You'd prolly panic and wouldn't even make a run for the door like always. At last I lah yang have to pay for your bus fares."
"Heeeheee. Yeah you my bf what. That's what you're for."
We then reached Ikea, where we got the trolley thingy. At first he stood at the end, and i pushed tried to push him around. But he was just too darned heavy and the almost non-moving trolly kept wanting to topple over, so we switched places. With that he zooomedddd me all over the place, with my wheeing face so distorted and cringing in horror as we narrowly missed pots of plants and horrified passerbys.
"Eh you if i bump into anyone, i'll KILL you."
"Don't worry lah! Hold on tight!"
ZOOMM!! ZOOOOOOOOOMM!! WHEEEE!!
"EH YOU GOT SOMEONE LAH!! STOPP STOPP!!"
BREAAAAKKKK.
(narrowly missed banging into an Indian man. 3 inches short.)
"Now where did he come from, Faddy? Hahaha."
"..."
Managed to get a framed picture to be hanged on the wall and a notice board. So tempted to get other stuffs but nahhh, some other time. No more cash already. Nyeah! So he charmingly carried the huggeee stuffs for me. We got to the busstop, boarded a random bus, got a lil lost and panicked for a while (EHH! Drop here lah! Eh no! Eh next stop! Eh its turning lah!), but at last managed to get to the nearest train station. Haha.
He did his handphone deal at Clementi, where we then sped off to Al-Ameen to break our fast. Had a scrumptious meal, and i puked some out after that. HAHA! Eat too much lah! He then baby-ed me all the way home and sent me to my bus stop. -Sigh-
I had stared at him whilst we walked to my bustop. He had looked at me weirdly and asked whats the matter. If only he knows how special he made me feel at that point of time. -smiles-
I read Rin's blog, and since i was freaking bored, i sent the same message to the Sunshine
"Kekanda Oh kekanda, adakah adinda secantik nun bulan purnama?"
And this is what i got back
"Oh ya memang skali. Dinda secantik nun bulan bernana."
DAMN BITCHY AH NOW! haha.. Oh yeah for the non-Malay readers. I asked him if i was as pretty as the full moon (bulan purnama), and he replied that i was as pretty as a moon full of pus (bulan bernana). Cracked me up silly, that boy. -Slaps Faris's forehead-
I called him and demanded he take his words back and to agree that i'm as pretty as the full moon or i'll get very angry and he reluctantly said "Yes you are as pretty as the full moon, Faddy!"
Yay Yay! I'm as pretty as the full moon! HAHAHA. Oh man i am sooo retarded. I was watching Meet The Parents (for the first time. Yay im slow too!), and instead of laughing, since it's a comedy, i actually got VERY upset at the father, and i cried buckets. THAT'S what i call PMS-ing. HAHAHA.
Oh and after giving Rhino the James Blunt song, Rhino said,
"Thank you Faddy. You are beautiful."
Yay yay!! Confirm chop chop i am beautiful eh! Two people said i'm beautiful. -Whistles- I shall leave in denial that one was cornered into saying it, and the other might be is just quoting lyrics from a song she just got. Lalala! Hahaha. Bonkers.
School tomorrow. Shittos. I'm just starting to get used to the term "HOLIDAY WITHOUT HOMEWORK". Bah. Oh wells. At least i get to see my friends again. Kinda miss the daily nonsense we create; hiding underneath staircases, recording stupid videos, picking on Sangitah, discussions on MCS, joking with Gomez and whatnot.
Oh yeah. I could swear i heard someone on the phone whom i don't think i'm supposed to hear. But nah. I am just being paranoid and my mind and ears were just playing tricks on me. That should be it.

Randomness.
Mom bought for me the latest Tipe-X cd at Johore last night, and i have to say i'm rather disappointed with the tracks inside. Not as Ska-ish as the last Cd (Mereka Tak Pernah Mengerti) and Tresno sounded different (in a bad way). BAH! Kinda regret choosing that Cd. Wanted to get the old Gerhana SkaCinta cd but that was out of stock. Nyeah.
Oh yeah i'm having my period now. Kinda explains the fucked up mood i was in this morning. And it's so irritating that i kinda forgot i am supposed to be having my period at around this time of the month.. So yeah put sleeping girl on bed and sudden gush of blood together. Use your imagination, dude. hurhur. Say thanks Faddy for helping you lose your appetite. Easier to fast, yes?
The Uncle has returned me my Greenday cd which contains like the songs from ALL their albums. So i guess it's time to transfer everything into the com and then into the iPod. By the way, i'm thinking of upgrading to an iPod 20Gb after Hari Raya as i can't seem to fit all my songs inside. Irritating! So, here's a shoutout to all bloggers.
Alright then. Back to renaming the Greenday songs. Have a good day.
PS. I WANNA GO IKEA!

Family Bonding.
Before that, lets all have a one minute silence to pray for those killed in the earthquake at Pakistan. Such a sad incident to happen, especially during the month of Ramadhan. -sighs-
Alright, back to blogging. Today is officially Family Day! By 9am my mom and I were already out of the house on our way to Johore to get Hari Raya costumes. Laaa Di Daaa. Uber tiring seh walking around trying to get the near-perfect dress. When we entered a boutique called Astana upon falling in love with a Baju Kurung in its display,
Filming for TV3's morning show sia! hahaha. Mum was like
"OH MY GOD! It's her! (Tugs Faddy's shirt) It's her! Oh my God! (drops dead)"
And i'm like going
"Who the fuck?" (In my heart lah, Duh!)
So after endless trying of clothes and joking around with the salesgirls (we were attended by three out of the six available. Wadda? Think we looked rich. hahhaa), mom and i finally settled a pair of Baju Kurung each, a brooch each and a tudung for her with a total bill of RM$750. -whistles- Think my mum struck some halal lottery or something. As mum was like totally in awe of that TV3 host, i told her to get a pic of herself with that host. She was like uber stuttering and star-struck and damn, it was like she suddenly went gundoo sia. hahaha. So cute.
Yes, i know. I purposely blurred my mum's face.
So yeah she was like sooooo elated upon having the picture taken and the moment we got home she took her phone and insists on the spot i send her the picture and make it as her wallpaper. -Shakes head- Macam macam ah my mother. Anyway we then shopped around some more and got clothes for the entire family. Think the total bill went up to RM$1.2k. Hahaha. Can't blame ah. My family seldom buys clothes. hahahaha.
So yeah. Headed on to my Grannie's place at Yew Tee where the whole of Dad's side was gonna break fast. We reached kinda early, so had to bum around whilst waiting for the rest of the cousins to come. First up, my 2nd best couzzie, Wani! Missed her man. And damn she's freaking towering over me right now even though she's 2 years my junior. BAH! (But to think of it, ALL my younger cousins are reaching my height already! And they're in freaking PRIMARY school! Damn it.)
There was a LOT of food. Like seriously i'm not exagerrating.
Believe me now? The following pic is 1/2 of the spread layed out for the 20 odd people.
Seriously, i had a food overdose. *Burps* A good way to burn the fats gained was of course to Solat Terawih together-gether. So after clearing up the stuffs, around 18 of us crammed in the living room and did the terawih for around an hour. One of my favourite nieces, Zachary, was like rolling and jumping about on the prayer mats trying to make the other praying kids laugh. Haha. Damn cute lah. I *almost got very distracted but luckily his mother pulled him away in time.
When i go for family gatherings on my Dad's side, i tend to hang out with the mothers. Since i have a still-single aunt who is rather close to me, and another aunt who's super punkrock, the topics they talk about can never be boring uh. Today's was on health. Sounds boring, right? But here's an excerpt:
"Yeah i signed up for this Spa thing. $200 for 10 sessions. Not bad eh?"
"Yeah not bad. No wonder your face is like glowing and you look so healthy!"
"Well, thanks. BUT I HAVEN'T EVEN WENT TO THE SPA! Oh thank you, thank you! (starts bowing to everyone) What can i say? I'm a natural beauty!"
Imagine cock-talk like these coming out from women aged 30 - 50. Hilarious. So mothers and I in one room, kids terrorising the whole place and dads chilling at the living room. ahaa. Nice.
I noticed a lot of Muslim teens smoking and Muslim Pakcik and Makcik Dangduts drinking beer and smoking at the local coffeeshop in the afternoon these few days. It saddens me that times have very much changed. Gone are the days where not fasting equates to being an embarassing thing. Now, it's the IN thing i guess?
"Oh wow! I don't fast! You losers! Look! I'm smoking! (Puff puff) And drinking too! (Gurgle Gurgle)"
Bleargh. Is the situation curable?

Worth the wait.
Scary last post, no? Just a reminder for all of us (myself included) who sometimes forget our responsibilities.. -smiles- Well, on to less scarier stuff (but as usual, boring-er) stuff then like my life then! Hurhurhur.
I've been living the past few months in patience for the arrival of yesterday; the day where the Sunshine finishes his last paper and so have I. Why? So that we'll finally have a proper date, a date without *much* economic discussions (knowing him, everything is related to econs so we're bound to have a wee bit of discussions here and there), a date where we don't have to fret about the books at home or looming deadlines. A date, where we can go all out and spend the whole day together-gether and just laugh and be merry. The long wait, my dear friends, has proven very worthwhile. - Claps gleefully -
After Solat Jumaat, that Sweetie followed me around throughout Orchard Road for to go shop shop for my Hari Raya accesories, lugging his huge bag around. Teehee! So shop here, shop there. I got myself a pair of heels (not heelies), a jacket-ish thingy and ear rings. Nothing special, just that he was being oh-so-gentlemanly carrying my shopping bags and stuff. (I haven't gushed about him in a long while, so shut up and bear with it. ahah)
Next up was buka puasa. Oh Man that guy reaaaally cannot make up his mind. I almost smacked his head when he changed his mind for the 4632497474398th time. This is how it went:
"Ok! We're breaking fast at Breeks!"
10 mins later.
"But i don't feel like eating Breeks eh."
"Then where you wanna eat?"
"Er.. Fish and Co?"
"Anything ah. I don't mind. You choose uh since you've already accompanied me everywhere."
"Ok! Fish and Co!"
45 mins and a round-a-bout bus ride later (We were tired and wanted to sleep somewhere).
"Eh i don't feel like eating at Fish and Co."
"Oh. My. God! We just turned one freaking round and you changed your mind again!" (Slaps Faris's forhead)
"Ok. Ok.. Sorry.. Wait lemme think."
"Sigh..."
"Ok! We go Cheese Prata shop!"
20 mins later. Time check - 6:15pm
"Eh i don't think we can make it in time."
"Faris. I'm gonna strangle you. WHERE CAN WE EAT?!"
"Er. Queensway's McDonalds?"
"NO!! NO FAST FOOD!! ROARRR!!"
"Eh i know! Brickworks! It's the next stop!"
A bell press, a bus stopping and a 1 min walk later.
"OH MY! The place is closed for repair!"
"...." (Stomach starts playing tunes)
"Oh shit oh shit where can we go. I know! Labrador Park!"
"How about Adam's road?"
"Oh ya ah. It's a 15 min bus ride from here! Quick go!"
A bus ride, a jam and 30 mins later. Time check - 6:50pm.
"Eh i think it's empty eh! Like not much cars parked outside."
"Its an illusion lah. Inside surely packed. Since when is Adam Road ever empty?"
And true enough, it was jam packed. Luckily, we found these angels (My JJ mates + ex Higher Malay mates) who were breaking their fast there too and managed to share seats with them. The moment we got our drinks, the Muezzin started the Azan. But the Nasi Lemak queue was freaking long, so we only got to eat at around 7:15pm.
Yum Yum! After making our fill it was time to go Bukit Panjang to do his handphone deal (Must do things in moderation what. Afternoon is my stuff, evening is shared since both of us need to buka and night is his stuff) Ate Sticky Chewy at Swensens and i got a toe cramp. BAH! Blablabla then went home in a cab, cuz it was rather late already.
It was funny cuz we were like keeping a distance away from one another (literally) cuz it's Ramadhan. HAHAHA. Oh well. That's cute i guess. So i went to my mom's shop to help her out and reached home.
I suddenly noticed that the Neoprint i took with Kim was missing from my noticeboard. I have this huuuge feeling mom took it, but she kept denying it. Oh man! I think she thinks you're my boyfriend, Kim! hahaha! Man, that's weird. Oh wells.
Thanks Sunshine for the day. I really enjoyed it and yes thou shalt be as gentlemanly as today forever k? We shall not fight over petty issues anymore and i shall learn to not be over paranoid! -smiles-

*Hadrhat Isa receives a revelation The revelation tells that the Yajooj and Majooj will soon be released and the believers should be taken to Mt. Toor (Sinai).

The Final Signs of Qiyaamah:
1 THE CAVING IN OF THE GROUND The ground will cave in: one in the east, one in the west, and one in Hejaz, Saudi Arabia.
2 THE FORTY DAY SMOKE/FOG Fog or smoke will cover the skies for forty days. The non-believers will fall unconscious, while Muslims will be ill (develop colds). The skies will then clear up.
3 THE NIGHT OF THREE NIGHTS A night three nights long will follow the fog. It will occur in the month of Dhul-Hajj after Eid al-Adha, and cause much restlessness among the people.
4 THE RISING OF THE SUN IN THE WEST After the night of three nights, the following morning the sun will rise in the west. People's repentance will not be accepted after this incident.
5 THE BEAST FROM THE EARTH APPEARS One day later, the Beast from the earth will miraculously emerge from Mount Safaa in Makkah, causing a split in the ground. The beast will be able to talk to people and mark the faces of people, making the believers' faces glitter, and the non-believers' faces darkened.
6 THE BREEZE FROM THE SOUTH A breeze from the south causes sores in the armpits of Muslims, which they will die of as a result.
7 DESTRUCTION OF THE KA'BAH The Ka'bah will be destroyed by non-Muslim African group. Kufr will be rampant. Hajj will be discontinued. The Qur'an will be lifted from the heart of the people, 30 years after the ruler Muquad's death.
8 FINAL SIGN OF QIYAMAH: FIRE IN YEMEN The fire will follow people to Syria, after which it will stop.
COMMENCEMENT OF QIYAMAH Some years after the fire, Qiyamah begins with the Soor (trumpet) being blown. The year is not known to any person. Qiyamah will come upon the worst of creation.

Aww.
One of the moments where Mom and Dad actually hold hands. Aww!
I guess this is the... third time? Haha. So when they actually do it, it kinda melts me inside and makes me go "Awww. So sweet." My future husband shall be one who holds my hands even when i'm old and crinkly and am totally BALD! I dunch care! Waha.
The other time whilst waiting for a friend, i saw this crinkly senior man feeding Fillet-o-fish to his feeble wife, and i was like "I WANNA MARRY HIM!" Well metaphorically lah, not literally. I mean i'm still young, and he's like OLD old, and i don't think i wanna marry an old man (unless he has like a million buckeroos stashed somewhere and has a certificate confirming that he has less then a month to live. hehe. JK LAH!)
Yeah. Today kinda sucks. Didn't do much at home except sleeping and walking around the room aimlessly, leaving a trail of tissue, snot and pieces of clothings around the house. Highlight of the day was of course, buka-ing with my family, watching them gobble up the food i've prepared. (NO they're not having diarrhoea right now)
0h yeah. Sat's date with the Sunshine has been cancelled due to family stuff on his part. ANY TAKERS?! IM FREAKING BORED AT HOME LAH. ANYONE? ANYONE?!

Woohoo!
And with that i conclude that my promos are over! Yeehaa! Malay paper seems ok, but if it's one of those tricky questions then i'm screwed. But who cares? Cuz promos are over! Which means i get to enjoy life! haaha.
Promos are over = Ramadhan has begun!
That's right, Ramadhan has begun. When my mum woke me up at 4:45am today, i sat at the dining table amidst my brothers (who had their lolling heads on the table). Daddy and Mummy came into the room with a few dishes, but as usual, the only thing my brothers and i touched was the fried egg and the kicap, translated, the soy sauce. In the background, the deejay from Warna 94.2 spunned some Nasyid songs while we stuff food in our mouth as quickly as possible to evade meeting the Subuh deadline as far as we can. After eating, the brothers and i cleared our plates, and the three of us will fall asleep in the living room whilst waiting for the Azan to commence whilst mum and dad cleared the rest of the plates.
That's my family's Ramadhan routine for you! It's a sense of familiarity; the sleeping heads, the egg and kicap and the sleeping in the living room. Oh and the scrumptous foodstuffs to gorge during the breaking of fast, of course. Tee hee hee!
So here's a shoutout to all Muslims reading this blog. May you have an eventful Ramadhan, may you lose at least 3 kg and save at least $100, and may all of you keep to your fasts and not puasa yok yok. Selamat berpuasa!
Here's a compilation of who i want to break fast with this year:
* My family (duh!) * My cousin Ica * My just-started-talking-with-you-guys cousins * Cik Ya, Wani, Hafiz and my brothers * The Sunshine (This Sat yay!) * Kimi and Nassy * Kimi, Ikah, Pe'ah and Yana * Shikin and Nalisa * Fara, Dana, Rad and Irah * The MCS peeps, yes, all 20 plus of us * My ex-Madrasah friends * ... And many many others!
Haha ok i cheated. Alright then. Toodles!

Sick.
BAHHH. So much for staying up and studying history. Halfway thru the paper today, (actually not even halfway) i couldnt take my dizziness and my high temp and my snot and whatnots i asked for leave. Irritating fact is that i actually KNOW HOW TO ANSWER the bloody essay question damnit. Oh well. Now to sleep, wake up, and mug on the last paper tomorrow, Malay Literature.
Oh yeah one more thing. Was very touched when Ms Marilyn Lim (my hist teacher) actually drove me right to the Doctor's clinic, lent me money for the fees, offered to get me food and stuff. She also had to run around getting my early leave form signed. Very touched. Very touched. Mental note to self : Make her a card or something when you're feeling better.
Next stop: Porridge, medicine and then lala land.

Exam Watch.
Pardon my lack of entries. I am currenty mugging for my history paper tomorrow. It's a rather hopeless battle actually. I feel like giving up and not appearing at the table tomorrow, but i guess better 5 marks then 0 marks. True?
I mean its like i have to memorise 4 essays of which each is 5 pages long. So yeah. Whatevers. Hahaha. Will i be able to get promoted if i fail history? I sure as hell hope i do. Lets do the Maths:
Requirements for promotions to Year 2: 2 A level passes 2 AO level passes.
So far: Economics : PASS. (thats 1 A level pass) Malay A : SHOULD be a pass. (Since i got a C for my cmn test, i just need a pass to pass. Soo. yeah. Another A level pass, insyaAllah) History : GONE!
(So that concludes the 2 A level passes)
Math Ao : SHOULD be a pass. (Since i got an A1 for my common test, i just need 20 marks to get a C6. Soo yeah. A0 level pass, insyaAllah) General Paper : THIS is the tricky bit. DIE. Bismillahirahmanirahhimmmm.
Ok. Till Wednesday (which is my last paper where i can then enjoyy). HAHAHHAAH. Bye.

"The girl on the left is Natasha. She's actually a J2, but somehow she got herself confused during admin day and now she's still stuck in J1. Sadly, for the J1s. This girl is by far the most talkative in the group. For example, she talked for 2hrs STRAIGHT this morning when the whole lot of us ponteng Malay lessons. She holds strong views on different stuff, and rarely does she sway in her stand. Most of the J1s respect her alot, i guess. I do."
Ok i guess things change. Hahaha.
P.S. I was just looking through my old blog and photo albums and realised that it's such a shitty things to lose friends. Shit happens dude.
