Blaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh Day

The day has been crawling along so far...i missed something...something doesn't seem right...something is just not where its supposed to be...

i wanted to go out but i've ended up babysitting...its not the day i was looking forward to...on the other hand...someone's been absolutely quiet...i just feel like telling that person to just quit lying to yourself and just get back together aight...enough of being a sap and coming to me and complaining about it...i've had just about enough of it...the crapness of it all...i think i was the one that set it all in motion right...haiz...i should just take my foot and shove it into my mouth...-sometimes that is-...

good guys do finish last...

A small intimate affair...

The day was long...very long...but i made gd use of it...kinda glad i got to do it...

Headed to the Robinson's Sale at Singapore Expo with Thub, Su, Liza aka Bon, and Rina...Waa couldn't make it at the last minute cos her mom had to go to the hospital...but its okay Waa, next time aite? Kirim salam your mum for me and hope she gets better soon...

As for me, I left the sale with quite a few stuff...i got me a pair of shoesies! Its so adorable! Im so excited that im gonna get to wear them soon! Yipeeeeeee....the rest of my purchase were all makeup essentials...seriously needed to top up...the shoes were unintended of course...like most of my other shoes...-excuses excuses-...

Made arrangements last night to meet Khasanah at Bishan Mrt @ 5pm...but thanks to moi, princess of late-coming (these past few months that is), i only got there by 5.45pm...lost track of time when we were happily shopping...having a go with most of the items on sale...left the Expo hall by 5pm only...luckily the lift by Thub was worthwhile...-even though i got to dhoby ghaut by 5.30-...made a dash to the mrt stn and prayed hard that i would reach bishan as fast as possible...by the time i got to bishan it was 5.45pm...had no choice but to take a cab...

So me and Kha took the cab and THEN we realised we were on the wrong side of the Bishan park and had to make a BIGGGGG walk to the other side of Bishan Park...apparently the park has two sections, one called Bishan Park 1 and the other Bishan Park 2...why so leceh?...make my life miserable only...but thankfully for the walk, i must have burned off the calories/kJ frm my lunch of a mushroom swiss meal...
so we got to the park and as i got to the venue, Abg Ard waved and smiled at me frm the stage as we took our seats...

I missed Abg Ard so much! He's doing so well...that was the first time in 2 years that i got to meet him again...gosh...that was long...luckily we were still in contact thru sms and stuff...Im so proud of my abg! I hope he wins at least One frm his 5 nominations...ALL THE BEST ABG AND TO BHUMIBAND! u guys rawked my socks man...i never knew i'd like a local band till u guys showed up...BEST of luck!
Pics will be up soon...after i develop them...im now using an SLR camera most of the time...so it'll take a while k guys...

Just to do Abg a favour, hehe...-i'll just do a spot of promotion for him-...dopr by BHUMIBAND's webbie and check out the audio section, some song samples to hear...click here for Bhumiband...

Well that's all for now...let me start my countdown:

6 weeks to FINALS

3 more months to my 21st birthday

It just keeps eluding me


Its still a mystery yet to be solved...why do i keep deluding myself...its gonna put me into so much trouble and eventually cause my own destruction...Nak cakap geram takleh...tapi nak cakap tak geram pun tak boleh...well, semuanya dah ditakdirkan oleh Allah S.W.T so, terserahlah sahaja...dah tak boleh ku buat ape² lagi pun

The Night Kallang Stadium Roared Back To Life

The last time I heard the Kallang stadium roar that loud was 11 yrs ago...its been a while and the to hear it again sounded like renewed faith...I experienced every bit of it...and i was really glad i did...

My friend and I got there by around 5.30pm and even then, the whole EAST gallery was almost jam packed...we didn't get to sit right in the middle but rather somewhere near the goalpost...but it didn't really matter...It was a sea of RED... it was like Chinese New Year -but better-...The atmosphere, WOW...i haven't been to a game like that in ages...

I got there almost 2 hours even before the kick-off and people were already excited...chanting, doing the Kallang Wave, making confetti out of newspaper...i loved every single bit of it...I brought my SLR camera but even before kick-off, the batteries decided to die on me...I couldn't even care less...

As i read the newspaper today and looked at the images in the paper, i felt like a proud mother whose son had done excellently in a national exam...i almost wanted to tear and cry...Yesterday's event surpassed my wildest dreams...The shouts and chants reverberated throughout the whole stadium and silenced the Indonesian fans. ... -not that anyone could hear them anyway- (so much for "Bangkit Indonesia")...

Indra Sahdan's goal effectively killed and silenced the Indonesian players ...the pint sized goal scorer did not disappoint the home crowd and sealed in the first goal 6 minutes into the game...everybody got up to their feet and screamed, yelled, cheered and just got crazy...it went beyond boundaries...everyone didn't care whether you were chinese, malay or indian...it just went beyond race...

The second goal, even though it was a penalty, was celebrated as fervently as the former...the conversion of the penalty by Agu Casmir went down as a hard pill to swallow for the Indonesians...It completely wrecked them... and the home crowd was treated to Agu Casmir's somersaults and the crowd went absolutely WILD...

Lionel Lewis' performance last night was absolutely fabulous...he was THE man of the night...he saved so many shots...I can't remember Lionel Lewis ever performing that fabulously...

The prize giving ceremony was excellent and when Capt. Aide Iskandar lifted the trophy, the stadium erupted into cheers and singing Queen's "We Are The Champions"...

Now i have to bid adieu and nurse my hoarse throat, any suggestions?


p.s. : Itimi Dickson needs special mention, he ran like a train that never ran out of steam...brilliant! Congrats again SINGAPORE on their Tiger Cup WiN!

Why is it EVERYTIME i come home to singapore alone...

How come things HAVE to screw up when i make the journey back to singapore alone? The moment i had one foot in the cab back at campus, i could just sense a feeling of foreboding...

The pakcik driving the cab had a strong accent...somewhere from Kelantan or something...i just couldnt make out what he was trying to tell me...so i just said: Yah..ah...ye...ok takpe pakcik, drive ajer sampai ke stesyen Lrt Putra...he was babbling about something not having electricity and something wasn't working...but of course i couldn't make heads or tails of what he was trying to say...

When i eventually reached the Lrt stn, the shutters were half down and there was red tape across the entrance...so the wheels inside my head started turning and ::DING!:: so THAT was what the cab driver was talking about...ugh...great...wat a way to wrap up my day...so i pleaded with the pakcik to take me to Pudu cos it was already 4.30pm and my bus was scheduled at 5.30!!! Sadly enough, the pakcik wasn't able to take me there...shoot!

So i stood outside the station with a few other people waiting for the electricity to get running again...panic mode started to seep in...great...i was either gonna have to forego my 5.30pm ticket OR i could just make a mad dash for it...

Of course i picked option B. Lucky for me, and another gerl heading to the Pudu bus terminus, a bus driver offered to send us to the next lrt station...thankfully the electricity was up and running by the time we got to the station...but the moment i got into the train, which was already packed, it didnt move...for about another 5 mins! By then, it was close to 5pm...i was praying silently that the train would move soon...God must have heard me...

When the train reached KLCC it was already 5.15pm...i got shoved in further away from the door cos there was a horde of people that actually wanted to get into the train which was already packed like a tin or sardines...luckily there was a seat...so i just plopped myself down...soon after when the train started to pick up speed, the train suddenly jerked and halted which caused some people to lose their balance and almost fall...i was screaming inside my head and saying: what now God? Why are you testing me like this today? I was so afraid that I was gonna miss my 5.30pm bus...

Thankfully enough it wasn't another power failure...so the train started to move again after a moment's lapse...Time check 5.25pm @ Masjid Jamek lrt stn...

Getting out was another challenge...i had to shove my way out and luckily the ugly Singaporean side of me didn't get out...So i dashed up the stairs to the control stn, out the station and run to the STAR line...hurriedly bought my ticket and bounded up the escalator steps and rushed up the stairs...luckily a train was heading toward the platform and i was one stop away from the pudu bus terminus...HOME free!

When i got to the terminus, i rechecked with the uncle which bus i was gonna board and lucky enough for me i finally hopped on the bus...time check: 5.45pm...bless the bus driver who got into KL late...i eventually made my way back to singapore at around 6pm...



The last time i went home alone my bus broke down...what next???

Reflections Of 2004...

Its been a yr...and it has been Quite a year i must say...

In the whole of 2004 i'm glad i got rid of the pesky irritants in my life...it was hard and sad and not to mention heartbreaking...but SHIT happens...for a reason...thats something that im very sure of...May Allah SWT give me the strength to go through a new year and help me become a better person...InsyaAllah...

Academically...everything is going as planned...but im not where i want to be as yet...it'll take a while...but InsyaAllah i'll get there with Allah's blessing...

Once i was lost but now im found...i've found strength in the friendships that i've created...and i will continue to draw strength from them...both old and new...im very thankful...if i haven't been the best of a friend i hope that Allah will change that in me...

My heart really hangs heavy at the close of 2004...much of it due to the devastation that occured during the Christmas weekend...that was just a little look-see for what is to come somewhere in the future...I am thankful that Allah has let me live for another day and i pray that i get to see many more days in the future...I still haven't accomplished what i want to do...i hope that i am given the opportunity to do so...

I also am very thankful that i still have my family to count on...through thick or thin, i know that they'll always be there for me...I also thank Allah for sparing my family, my home and all my friends...Singapore was very fortunate not to have been devastated by the tsunamis at all...I hope that everyone who is alive today are able to count their blessings to live another day...

I would also like to extend my condolences to friends who have lost their families, their homes...I hope that whatever contributions that we make will help you...I know that recovery will be a long journey but know that God is always watching you...caring for you...


I am but a lone individual saying a silent prayer amidst the millions that are saying prayers for you too...Amin...
