Tagged.


Because everyone else seems to not want to "halo" me, i guess this is for the best.

People, pls scroll down the sidebar to make use of my tagboard okay??

So what have i been up to this past week.

I didn't really leave the house.

Although i did go to the pasar malam next to the yishun mrt station.

*i had a serious hankering for vadai* (p/s: it was REALLY good!)

What i've done this past week was:


1) do laundry (hanging & folding)

have i mentioned how much i HATE folding the clothes?


2) cook

3) clean the house, the room (and pretty much everything else that needs cleaning)

4) watch tv. (although i haven't gotten around to watch tv till it explodes, i'll make gd on my promise *winks to Nora*)

5) missing "someone" like crazy (NO, i haven't gotten over it yet.)

6)look for employment.

7) waiting for "THE" letter.


So yeah, that's most of it.

The good news is, i've already got 2 tuition assignments. *Yeay*

So that means some moolah so that's kinda pleasing to the pocket (esp. with the GST increase this SUNDAY)

Now that my grandmother is here for the weekend, i'll be accompanying her to her hospital and polyclinic appointments.

I can't wait to go to Sentosa next Monday! Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

*note to self: I am NOT going to the Christina Concert. Boo hoo. :( *

Just Beachy!

*hint hint* that was the bag for the day...it matches the theme for the day!

that's another hint. the contrast between the green and the blue, i just love it!

I love being home!

there's another OBVIOUS hint...it was still early so there weren't that many pple around. the guys in the background were skimming on the waves.

I went to the beach; with my girlies!

from left: Shahidah, Azimah & Zakiah

Below are the gerls setting up...



that was our lunch for the day: azimah's famed mac and chicken salad! its yummy and always a crowd pleaser :D


i call this pic...windswept


We played this by the beach...

Monopoly; the Uniquely Singapore Edition

that's my token, the Merlion


shahidah the trishaw, zak the singapura Cat, Azimah the one with the flashy car and thats me at the end.




getting into the swing of things...

All those are my properties. But even that didn't stop me from going BANKRUPT!

At the end of over 4 hours of play, i was declared bankrupt after landing on som very pricey property.

What caused my demise... landing on expensive property with FOUR houses on it!
I owed like $20 000+++

Azimah owned the MOST expensive properties with 4 houses on each of the Blue strips!

Even after mortgaging my property, i still couldn't cover the rent!

All in all, Azimah was made the rightful winner.

She wiped me out DRY.
You know the expression "kering kontang"?

That was EXACTLY it.


After a long day at the beach (the weather was really² good! and really² windy!)

We packed up and left for home at 5.30pm

I really enjoyed the trip. I was practically squealing when i got to the beach. :D

Even though i lost, i still ended up with a smile on my face.

*grin*

Home Sweet Home (For Good!)


Reached home close to 9am this morning.

I'm exhausted.

The mental and physical exhaustion that is.

I'm finally home and i've more or less graduated.

Now to wait for the exam results.

Suddenly the 3rd of July seems sooooo long.

I want to say a heartfelt thanks to Nora especially for putting up with my hormonal urges (food-wise yah!) and my emotional moodswings.

Thanks for listening to me gripe.

Thanks for the2 most memorable sessions at Chili's! (and the Caramel Mocha Frappucino with Java Chip ---> skrg tgh mengidam White Choc Blended from Coffee Bean hohoho)

I still crave those southwestern eggrolls & mashed potatoes.

Kalau i pregnant one day and i crave those foods, matilah suami saya *harhar*

Ok, i've had enough of staring at the computer screen.
I'm going to take a nice Long HOT shower and SLEEP!


*yeay! i survived 3.5 years of cold showers. Back to my normal routine!*

p/s: the papers went well alhamdullillah. I could actually do the arabic exam paper!

One more week here and i will officially be a graduate come 18th of June. (more like the 17th June after 11am. just to be precise haha.)

Thank you to all who have supported me through thick and thin.

I don't think i'll be blogging until i get back to singapore that is.

2 more exams.

17th: Foreign Language for BENL (aka Arabic) (9am)


After that im home FREEE!


I plan to take the train back home.

It will be a solo journey.

Got lots of thinking to do.

*Although i probably think i will be thinking in my sleep*

Come the 18th i will be celebrating my new status with my family (and celebrating my cuzzin's 21st bday also)

Yahooo!

One more week.

This will undoubtedly be the LONGEST week of them all.

Pray for me k guys.

My Word Of The Day...

Chili's (NOT k.a.n.t.o.i)

i love the decor and the menu too!

the look of pure concentration...



so many nice things to try....hmmm...should i try the monterey chicken



or should i try the country fried chicken???



this is the before pic.


this was ms. mourinho's

this was mine.

the chicken was fried perfectly. it was nice & tender.

the whipped potato was the best i've ever tasted in my whole entire life.

its creamy goodness would just send you to heaven and back again.

the corn.

oh. my. god.

no words can explain. i had never been a big fan of corn up until last friday.

the corn was steamed to perfection with the perfect blend of cajun spices and butter.

this was how the meal ended.

a perfect meal; with cherry on top.

which is why i looked so happy and content last friday evening.

thanks for the company ms. nore!

Chili's again when i come for clearance?

Yes please!

FIN.

p/s: more pics coming your way!

Dazed.


While this repeat of Satisfaction is playing, i just want to say:

I have 12 freaking days left here! Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

I know a lot of people will get upset after reading this.

No, i won't forget any of you InsyaAllah.

Its that sense of relief after doing this programme for 3 and a half years.

I am kinda getting burned out.

Which is why i am hitting the cinema before my exams with my ms. nore mourinho.

Shrek the 3rd will be awaiting us.

Lovely.

Then we'll hit Chili's and Starbucks.

We're preparing for sleepless nights after that. hahaha.

Must put in a LOT of effort for arabic.

If ONLY he smiled a lot more in class. *dreamy sigh*

unfortunately for US, he's married.

kalau tak kiter dua dah berMadu kan? *wink*


Alahhhh, lepas ni kiter dah takleh hang out hari-hari kat my room. Now that is a travesty.


On other fronts, im holding up well strangely enough.

I'm just worried about the aftermath that i have to deal with after the exams are over and i'll be home for good.

im having a 2nd case of tonsilitis. this time i had the sense to go and find out what was happening to me BEFORE it gets any worse.

And yes, the doctor did confirm that it was tonsilitis.

So at least im now on medication before i can't get anything down my oesophagus.

12 days.

I am so going to miss ALL of you here.

You all know who you are.

You have touched my life and made it a better experience here at uia.

No more late nights, no more soccer matches with the girls, no more ramadhan at uia.

and now that im heading home, its seems so surreal.

No one's on the other side waiting.

That's what hurts the most.
