One week of non-computer related activity and i turn into a doofus.
No connectivity whatsoever to the outside world.
Besides the local paper and the Jakarta Post on random days that is.
The trip to Bali was successfull alhamdullillah!
It was amazing!
The WOW! factor was definitely high.
Day 1
We set off from Singapore at 10am from T1 by Garuda on the Boeing 737-400 series.
Small plane, meaning every turbulence could be felt.
There was turbulence while we ate.
Which definitely made me green (not with envy definitely).
We landed in Jakarta to wait for our connecting flight, another 2 hour wait.
But we scoured the Soekarno Hatta Airport for some Starbucks and were treated to some delish coffee by my uncle.
The wait was well worth it.
The moment Bali came into sight, it was clear blue skies and PERFECT weather.
Almost NO humidity! (Yeaaayyy!)
By the time we arrived in Bali, it was 4pm.
The Ngurah Rai Airport in Denpasar, Bali was one of those quaint looking old airports.
Something like our Seletar Airport.
The runway which we landed on was flanked by the sea and it was looking postcard/picture perfect.
The ten of us, (my family of 6 and my uncle's family of 4) were greeted by our tour guide, Pak Ian (Sofian).
You know those people that hold up the cards with people's names on them.
I felt like a rock star then haha.
We took the van to Sanur, Bali to our hotel, Diwangkara Holiday Villa.
My sister and i naturally shared a room.
But the room we were given was boring.
But the room was big.
My brothers got the room upstairs which had a view of the ocean and they had a 4 poster bed (the older one said it was kinda gay cos he was sharing it with my younger brother).
So we switched!
Lawa giler! (but come to think of it, i forgot to take a pic of the room!?)
So the whole day was pretty much spent flying and getting settled into our rooms.
Day 2
I caught a sunset in the most beautiful place of all.
The high cliffs of Uluwatu were spectacular.
The crashing waves and the surfers out at sea enjoying the last rays of light in the surf.
It was amaaaazzziiinnnggg!
And to top it off, we went to Jimbaran Bay for a seafood dinner (sgd$15 per pax) for 10 people and we were stuffed silly with squid, fish and prawns.
Did i mention we sat on the BEACH for the dinner, listening to the waves crashing onto the shore, while we were serenaded by some buskers with Eric Clapton's; Wonderful Tonight.
How was that for an apt ending to a beautiful day.
More tomorrow...hopefully with pics!

She is considering coming to Singapore to do her Masters.
I am crossing my fingers, toes, tongue, eyes and whatever else that can be crossed on my anatomy that she applies to NTU.
But my dear, are you considering doing a thesis based Master's?
Cos i noe that NTU English Lit. programmes are theses based.
Haven't seen a course based programme.
But whatever it is...
Get your butt down here!
*my excitement is getting ahead of me!*
Oh! And if you can get Prof. Q to write a testimonial for you, you've got a HIGHER chance of getting in...he used to teach there.
Ok...
Neway, I haven't PACKED!
How much clothes do i need to pack for a 5 day trip to Bali???
Anyone have a CLUE!?
I need help!
P/S: I'm sorry Dear that I brought that thing up. I knew you were not going to be happy, but i just HAD to open my mouth.
I'm really sorry.
Pls don't be angry? Besides, its not even written in stone yet.
I love you.
You know I do.

It was more like: No, Singaporeans are prudish about sex, thus we will cut out the sex scenes.
And true to form, i saw some letters about the movie in the Forum page of T*he S*traits T*imes.
My take on the scene cuts:
I was really unhappy.
*no im not a voyeur or porno freak*
I just felt that the movie was disjointed because of the cuts.
There was no reason that the movie had to be rated at M18
If it had to be R21 so be it.
Personally, I HATE CENSORS!
They cut out the parts and give the movie this "cut & paste" feeling.
I do not want to feel this way when I pay perfectly good money (movie tix now very expensive also you know!) to watch a movie.
Besides the fact that the movie was cut at certain places, i felt that the direction of the movie was also good.
*All hail Michael Patrick King*
The flow of the movie was great, there were collective gasps and i truly felt that the audience were completely enthralled by Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte.
Though i missed the first 10 mins of the show, i'm glad that i followed the series because this movie is like an extension of the tv series.
The on-screen chemistry between the four girls was undeniable.
I was tickled pink and i shed a tear at the end.
But most of all, I loved the way that the central theme of the movie revolved around relationships and more accurately, friendships.
If i were ever in a jam, I'd definitely turn to all my girlfriends for support.
I'm glad i have the same support system that Carrie had when she got jilted.
For all hard-core Sex and the City fans, this movie is not to be missed!
I've finally found my fix and closure for this show.
$10 for a 2hr 25min movie?
Worth it i say.
Sans the cut parts that is.
And what girl doesn't get a kick from seeing a walk-in wadrobe the size of a master bedroom?
I rate it a 4 out of 5.
Watch it before it ends its run!

Its my last week at work here...
>_<
And i honestly don't know how i feel.
Well one thing's for sure.
I am so happy to be rid of LL my sales manager.
*all smiles*
Hahaha...happy taking over my post Kha!
Anyway...yeah...im feeling mysteriously light and carefree.
'Cos my holiday is just around the corner!
Yeay
I loved being here.
*Kha has already kind of taken over the workspace and doing most of the job anyway...hence the past tense*
The atmosphere was not so stressed.
Sans the amount of nonsense that i had to tolerate from LL. Hah.
The guys here have been really great!
Yes. All the people in my office are Chinese guys.
Hence the non-issue of office politics.
They are gerek-nak-mampos people here.
Even our new addition, Jonas.
Whom we both affectionately call Adik Nas.
*member dari Subang...haha...*
But coming to work this whole week has been great!
Cos i have a friend to share everything with.
We share the same workspace (for now)
And we've been giggling while i TRIED to teach her the ropes.
So thanks for making it a worthwhile week!
This weekend...Making The Video: Darwis.
Just a little tribute to him for his farewell cos we won't be able to make it there for his.
Anyway, a little shout-out to a new friend made over the net (via Suli)
Liyah! Happy Belated Birthday!

Finally, a new blog skin.
I think its been a while since i've changed my blogskin.
The last change i did was back in 2004!
Its taken me FOUR looooonnngggg years to change the blogskin.
That picture on top is Times Square, NY.
That's the closest i'll ever get to New York after plans fell through.
But anyways...do you like it?
Cos i do!

Remember this photo?
Yup, that was the book that I was devouring after reading Candace Bushnell's dreary Lipstick Jungle.
The Mango Season was soo much better!
There were witty moments and those that kept me at the edge of the seat!
Basically, Amulya Malladi, the author that is; navigates her way into the labyrinth of Indian social and familial customs that seem to faze the rest of us.
She weaves a beautiful tale where the protagonist of the story (your lead character you might say), becomes displaced in her own country and family after her 7 year absence.
The young Priya Rao (protagonist) has come back to India for a visit (note: VISIT! and not come home!)
She finds herself lost in all the intricacies of her own culture.
She takes centre-stage when her parents set her up for a pelli-chupulu or bride-seeing ceremony.
The thing is...she's already ENGAGED to an American which is a BIG no-no in her society.
And that's where all the conflicts begin.
What?
You thought I was going to give you a run down of what happened.
Go find the book and read it for yourself. Teeheehee.
The book's called The Mango Season by Amulya Malladi.
Available at all NLB libraries!
Enjoy the read!
Next up: Unaccustomed Earth by Jhumpa Lahiri.

So Much For Losing The Voice on Friday.
Yes pple...prior to my last minute "jom-lets-go-karaoke" by najib i had lost my voice on friday.
YES.
I was croaking.
*hmmm....probably one of the reasons why it rained huh?*
Oh yeah.
And i played hooky from work on Friday.
Which meant that i worked a total of only 3 days this week!
Haha. But after all the merry making i had...i still felt that the weekend was a tad too short.
Yes... now back to the intended post.
I had intended to spend the WHOLE afternoon (or whole day) at home.
There were NO prior plans watsoever.
I was already plonked on my bed watching Season 4 of SEX & THE CITY courtesy of Justin my colleague.
Then around 2.15pm, I received an sms from my darling Suli.
It an invitation to join her, Shasha and Aisyah Spec at Far East.
Mind you it was a sweltering HOT day.
Even though I had a late shower that day, i was already perspiring buckets.
I was still undecided at about 2.30pm
But then i was like "Ahhh...Wat the Heck....I'm going out!"
I was getting pretty restless at home anyway.
tried to get ready as fast as i could.
Was out the door by 3.30pm.
That was really fast by MY standards.
-the fabulous 5-
Reached my destination and saw Seri!
I was so happy to see her and the girls! (The more the merrier i say)
*get well soon babe!*
But she had to leave soon after to go and get ready to go to Gentarasa 2008.
-tgk mereke berdua di background-
We were then soon joined by Najib.
*mmg tak plan langsung!*
Had lunch at Cahaya and decided to go Karaoke!!!!
My second time Karaoke-ing at Cash Studio.
The first being with my AISS girls.
It was WAYYYY different!
That's cos we sang
a lot of English songs.This time we sang a lot of MALAY songs!
-Najib tgh feeling sampai naik atas kerusi menyanyi-
*Mary nyanyi lagu melayu???!!!!*
Of course i still sang my english ballads...and i sooooo loved belting out Mariah Carey's "Forever".
-me and my chica; Suli-
-Go Sya Spec & Shasha!-
Hope you enjoyed the pics!
-Left with just the 4 of us; supper-ing-

My Not So Hectic Weekend.
Yes I am definitely raving about this place.
Its got the freshest salads.
The best oven toasted bread.
And tasty moussakka.
The kebabs weren't bad either!
And for 10 hungry people, we pretty much scarfed down all that food in a jiffy.
The hummous was DELISH!
The pricing was reasonable too!
And service was TOP NOTCH!
Yes i am totally won over by the hospitality and how fast our food was served.
I would definitely go again (hopefully with the bf one day).
Can i just say how much i've missed middle eastern food?
*And TEH AIS!*
I so miss teh ais for sure.
The closest that i've gotten to M'sian tasting teh ais was at Bilal Restaurant over at Sembawang Rd.
*Okay ter-sidetrack again.*
Anyway...I am UBER excited about my trip to Bali!
Yeayness!
Okay then...
More updates soon!
Promise!
*MY blogging mojo's finally BACK!*

Side-track:
Yes, thanks for reading even though its been so boring and bland.
But i really appreciate the: "How come you've stopped writing?"
And the "Any new entries?"
Thank you for the concern...hehehe...
I'm touched that pple still read my blog!
Thank You!
And all you CLOSET readers, come out and tell me WHO you are!
I'm tired of thinking I'm writing all this for no-one!
Now back to the intended post.
I know since I've graduated as an English Lit grad I should be picking up more noteworthy and "literature-ish" type books.
But I've picked up MORE chick lit since then.
I know I'm being such a bad example.
But after having so much Literature shoved down my throat for the past 13+ years, the only thing I want to pick out from the library shelves has been trashy chick lit.
Ok..maybe not so trashy but more commercial chick lit.
I mean there's nothing wrong in that, but i REALLY pride myself on being a well read person.
But there has been a silver lining within all that chick lit.
I actually picked up a really good book frm the POPULAR bookstore about 2 months back.
It really began as a love affair with the movie that I watched with my Encik Farhan.
*Thanks for accompanying me to watch the movie!*
You guessed it, it was "The KiteRunner".
I remember reviewing the movie on my blog sometime back.
But anyway, that was a movie review.
Now, i think Khasanah, more than anyone else knows how much i love asian lit.
More accurately;
"displaced-asian-author-trying-to-find-voice-in-adopted-Western-country."
Point in case, Jhumpa Lahiri, Amy Tan, etc, etc...
And my latest find....
Khaled Hosseini!
I've read the book twice.
Both in like very literature type mode.
Yes, I'm anal like that.
Reading it to gain a different perspective.
I loved it.
That's the thing with books.
You can read it AGAIN and AGAIN and you'll always gain a different perspective of the novel.
It was poignant, moving and heart-wrenching.
And the book wasnt written about Amir at all.
It was totally about Hassan.
Yes i only got it after the second read.
So girls, wanna go out and discuss books?
Oh!
And I was looking through Khasanah's Shelfari and I saw "The Road To Mecca".
I was sooo intrigued that I placed a reservation on the NLB website.
And then I was hooked into reserving Jhumpa Lahiri's "Unaccustomed Earth".
Her 2008 offering after her highly successful "The Namesake".
See, when the bug bites.
It doesn't stop biting.
Hahaha...okay that was corny.
Now I'm thinking, should i BUY "A Thousand Splendid Suns"???

I wanted to upload the pics from my spanking new K850i (in Quicksilver) today.
BUT
The phone died on me yesterday.
AaaaccckkK!
Now i can't upload my pics from the go-kart session i had.
And yes...
Now i'll need to revive her (yes she's now affectionately known as KiKi to me)
Boo hoo.
This is so sad.
Everytime i get a phone OTHER than Nokia, I have to send it back for repair in less than 2 weeks!
The last time this happened was when i purchased the Motorola E51 Rokr phone.
The phone would always die on me when i answered a call.
And this was WITHIN the 1st week after i purchased it.
I had to go all the way to Plaza Singapura to revive the damn phone.
And it took them quite a while to fix it.
Now that i've purchased this OTHER model, the phone instinctively died on me.
AGAIN.
Gah!
I am seriously ANNOYED!
Honestly, yesterday i thought the phone died cos the battery was weak.
But the thing that got me worried was, the lights to the keypad were still on and the light on the back where the camera lens was located was also lighted.
Uwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa....
Now i have to go to Wisma Atria to get it fixed!
I'm afraid to go cos I'll end up spending money at DP and Forever21 and Cotton On!
I want my KiKi bacccckkK!

The best part about being in a small company thats laid-back SANS my anal retentive sales manager,
is that we get to do FUN stuff!
And also cos we have a really generous boss, he foots the bill!
So thanks Mr. L*eow J*uLen!
Today, i got to meet D*awn Y*ang.
Yes, THAT D*awn Y*ang.
So wat did we all do exactly?
We ALL went karting in JB today!
The WHOLE company except the Old Fart.
Kewl right?
Kha, i hope one day you will get this opportunity to go karting with the company some time!
Yes, it was like a mini company retreat.
I tell you it was SUPER gerek to the max lah!
It felt like an extra weekend altogether! :D
I'm going to miss the people i work with for the past 5 months!
Pics up soon k?
And i WILL elaborate more!
Finally, something REALLLLY worth blogging about!

The Blushing Bride (Fadhiilah; The Duchess)
and the Dashing Groom (Ustz Khidir)
This picture would have looked spectacular had Ekhsan zoomed in!But even so, good picture composition!
This would also have been a gd shot if MY hands were more steady! 
The ethereal Duchess...
This picture of US and the bride looks AWESOME!
Nice colours! I loooooovvveeedd Hasanah's tudung kaler!
I seriously think we make a cute couple!
I wish i knew how to keep my head straight when taking a photo!
Notice that there were mostly just pics of girls? Hahaha...
It didn't even occur to me till I uploaded them to my Facebook account.
One more wedding in June!
Hasanaaaaahhhh i can't believe you're tying the knot already!
I will TRY to be @ your wedding.

Please excuse me for the lack of updates.
It is the lack of a social life that's keeping me from updating this dusty old blog.
Some days i really wish i were back in uni.
Blogging about classes was fun even though it was routine.
These days the routine is go to work, after which i head for tuition and only reaching home close to 10pm or later.
After that i only make a date with the bed.
And then the whole process begins again till Friday.
The only exciting thing that happens is my blood pressure that happens to rise whenever the sales manager is in the house.
The fact of the matter is, we're of same personality traits.
Therefore there is some clash.
Even HE senses it.
And he'll back off for awhile before stalking me again.
Aaarrggghhh.
Thankfully for me, he isn't in the office today.
Some nasty flu bug has put him under the weather.
Lets just hope he doesn't pass it to me when he comes back.
Anyway, this week will be a packed weekend.
Starting friday, with my medical checkup.
Then a date with the UIA girls on saturday
And a wedding of Duchess on sunday.
Yes MY beloved Duchess is getting married to her Goosey!
Finally.
*smiles*
I remember the inane talks we had on the bus on the way back to singapore.
Goose and Spidey.
*okay that was an inside joke just between me and the Duchess*
I don't even remember HOW the term Duchess came to be.
And thanks Dear for the Nasi Briyani.
The meat was super scrumptious.
Even though i had a little headache from all the lamb i ate.
Oh and as a parting note, please wear SUNSCREEN pple!
Even if you're indoors.
Cos all the UVA and UVB rays from the lights and PC can make u age faster too!
Minimum SPF30 pple!
Take care of ur skin and PREVENT premature ageing!!!

p.s: Your skin starts to age at 21 yrs!!!!

I have so many things to say but when i start typing or when i see this page, all activity in my brain seems to shut down.
Or is it the stress in churning out something for readers to enjoy getting to me?
I honestly wonder how all those S*TOMP bloggers do it on a deadline.
Sure they have a topic to follow.
But how can one POSSIBLY write about something so lame and mundane?
Okay that's another thought for another day.
So excuse me if i start spewing nonsense all over this blog.
How has life been since turning 24? (Qn asked by Huda the bestie)
Not much different compared to the 365 days that have passed.
Okay maybe this year's was better.
I spent it with family and friends prior to the actual birthday.
Had a birthday dinner with my aunt, uncle, grandparents and family sans my sister and father.
Like i've mentioned countless times already, 2008 has been kind.
Allah has bestowed me countless things that i feel truly blessed.
I have my health, i have food and shelter over my head.
I have clothes on my back.
I have my family.
My friends.
And best of all i have my AH *smiles*
Amiin.
That shall remain a mystery for now.
In due time.
Plans for New York and Europe have been scrapped this year. Haha...so much for putting all my eggs in one basket.
But the good thing is, I will be going to Bali this June.
One week of sand, sun and sea!
This will definitely happen cos my dad has already gotten his leave approved.
And i definitely need a break before i teach.
Oh and have i mentioned that i've told my Director that i'm leaving?
Yes...its official!
No need to walk around with a big load on my back anymore.
The timing couldn't have been more perfect.
So, anyone in search of a job can contact me here for more details.
Or u can just reach me at my email located on the side bar.
June Bali, and insyaAllah KL in the early part of July.
Trying to make an effort to keep in touch with friends and my oh-so-fab-lecturers!
Ok now that i have exhausted all my brain juice, i can go now.

Dah tua² bangka still perasan muda like dat! hehe.

Wahhhh syiok arh he say like dat!

24th birthday...
I've been alive for 24 years (plus another 9 months or so in my mother's womb)...
Wow...
That's a long time.
My wish for this year?
Be a better Muslimah, insyaAllah.
Be a better granddaughter, daughter, niece, cousin and sister.
What about being a better girlfriend eh?
Hmmmmmmmm....
You all help me fill in the blanks lah eh hehehe.
Poor AH still feeling jetlagged.

I'm like a REAL adult already lah.
Boo hoooo.

Decisions, decisions.
Thankfully I'm not making any LIFE altering decisions yet.
Not yet anyway...2009 onwards right AH?
Speaking of which, he touched down yesterday! :))))
The whole weekend i was fretting and worrying about his flight.
Couldn't contact him at all, what with his 17hour layover in Abu Dhabi.
And true to his word, I was the first one he called when he touched down. 2140
*silly grin*
Pity he was calling from a payphone. If not it would have been a longer phone call.
Yesterday was an extreeeemmmeeelllyyyy long day for me.
I had my extended family over and 4 friends for a small get-together.
Celebrated my sister's belated 2oth bday, my nyai's 70th bday yday and also my advanced 24th bday.
Ohhh and i got my Coach wristlet yesterday as a present from my mother!
*if i knew she was going to pay for me i would have picked out smthing bigger & more expensive! hehehe*
I've been feeling stuffed since yday.
Too much good food.
And this marks the 451st entry.
I can't believe i've been at this since 2003.
The amount of rubbish i've spewed here is tremendous!
And i've made up my mind.
I'm going to let them know that i'm gg to leave the company.
I'll let them know by this week.
Finally.
All the nonsense from HIM that i've tolerated.

I know i havent written much the past few weeks.
Honestly, i was caught up in something really spectacular.
2008 has really been fantastic.
And its only the first quarter of the year!
And its APRIL!
I was speaking to Kha yesterday and told her that i'm already starting to feel the jitters.
It ALWAYS rolls around this time of year.
The anxiety of turning a year older.
I can feel my tummy clenching, my mouth dry, my head spinning.
In exactly ONE week!
Oh but there are things that im definitely looking forward to this month.
For example, getting my Coach Signature Hamptons wristlet! Yeay!
Getting a new *and quite overdue phone* for myself. 5mp y'all!
And waiting for someone to touch down in Singapore *goes all smiley & dopey*
Girls! Come home soon yeah! Izhar says that we should all go to Macritchie for a hike.
And Nora, have a safe flight to Beijing and back!
Enjoy yourself! You've earned it. :D

Yes...trouble pple.
Trouble spelt with a capital T.
I smelt trouble since yesterday.
Trouble, in my case can also be spelt with an S or an H.
Depending on which way you look at it.
Either way goes actually.
OMG.
Seriously??!!??
I mean seriously?!
Its been less than 48hours and i've been whipped into a frenzy like this?
I think i've lost my marbles.
Permanently.
Don't mind me.
Just rambling.
Fin.
Being strong requires a lot of effort.
A lof of effort in NOT breaking into a hysterical fit of sobs.
A lot of effort in NOT letting it (problem) bother you.
And especially a lot of EFFORT to think about other things when something else seems to consume your every being.
Rewind to 9-10 months ago, when i was in my FINAL semester and having to go through my FINAL exams while nursing a break-up.
It was NOT pretty.
*Ask Nora and Kak An (the teary 7am calls, thanks Kak An)*
Plus, it was 3 days prior to my own ASSIIUM Farewell.
It takes a lot to get it together.
Because you are so emotionally and psychologically SPENT.
It was tiring.
So how did I deal with it?
I threw myself into my studies.
*Thats my flight and not fight system taking place*
And the crap questions that you ask yourself POST-break-up....WHY NOW!!!!!??????
It is emotionally demanding.
And it REALLLY tires you out.
But what works is FRIENDS.
Your support system.
Lean on them.
Cry (cos it really does wonders).
Just don't let it consume your whole life.
THAT my friend will then be the death of you.
I know i'm so far from you my dear Suli.
I'm so sorry that i'm not there to keep you company during exams (remember the sleep-overs? "D )
But i know what you're going thru.
Absolutely.
It hurts. Like a Bitch.
But you'll heal.
Fin.
p/s: All of us Love You Suhaili Saad! Gambatte! to ALL the UIA-ians taking exams! We miss YOU!!!! Come home soon!

This song just evokes in me emotions i thought i had forgotten.
Yes, this song that's been playing incessantly on my Mp3 player, on blog, friendster, facebook, u name it.
Plus last weekend was such a lousy weekend to have PMS.
I was a blubbering mess starting Friday.
It could be because i had this song playing from 9am till 5.30pm
Or it could also be the fact that my ex-bf was at ROMM getting married.
I thought the date would conveniently slip my mind, seeing how busy I've been.
Apparently not.
And apparently i wasn't over him yet.
It still hurts. It stings and it burns.
Wouldn't YOUR ego have gotten hurt if you'd known that your Ex had been planning a wedding 3 mths after you broke up?
I guess its PERMANENTLY over now.
He's someone else's husband.
And i guess we really weren't meant to be.
I was a blubbering mess yesterday too.
I just had to watch P.S. I Love You on DVD....*stupid, stupid!*
And there i was a crying mess in front of the TV.
I hate when i feel like this.
Its almost been a year now.
I've never been good at putting back the pieces.
I'm still learning.
*I just want myself back...*

-Holding Back Tears-
Tell me how I`m supposed to breathe with no air?
If I should die before I wake
Because you took my breath away
Losing you is like living in a world without no air, oh
I`m here alone, didn`t wanna leave
My heart won`t move, it`s incomplete
Is there an other way I can make you understand?
(Hook)
But how
Do you expect me, to live alone with just me?
`Cause my world revolves around you
It`s so hard for me to breathe
(Chorus)
Tell me how I`m supposed to breathe with no air?
Can`t live, can`t breathe with no air
That`s how I feel whenever you ain`t there
There`s no air, no air
Got me out here in the water so deep
Tell me how you gon` be without me?
If you ain`t here I just can`t breathe
There`s no air, no air
No air air,
No air air
I walked, I ran, I jumped,
I took right off the ground to float to you
There`s no gravity to hold me down, for real
But somehow I`m still alive inside
You took my breath but I survived
I don`t know how but I don`t even care
(Repeat Hook)
(Repeat Chorus 2x)
(Outro)
Got me here out in the water so deep
Tell me how you gon` be here without me?
If you ain`t here I just can`t breathe
There`s no air, no air
No air air,
No air air

I've got like the nicest boss in the whole entire world i think.
Wah Lau.
Do you know what he GAVE me?
Not a pay raise but something quite nice still.
He gifted me with a nice new shiny Philips 1GB "Go Gear" Mp3 player.
*courtesy of T*oyota's launch of the new C*orolla A*ltis.*
But still...it was the THOUGHT that counts!
nampak sangat bende² macam gini diorang dah tak pandang.
I feel so bad.
*oh suck it up...*

Today was one of the best outings i've had with the AI girlies + Hafiz.
Moments of momentary lapses PLUS spur of the moment activities planned right there and then.
*notice the use of the word "moment" haha*
Ok i did have my reservations when Hafiz suggested we watch "10,000 BC" instead of the originally PLANNED, "August Rush".
But it actually turned out quite okay, especially with Umi around.
The movie ended up being quite entertaining! :D
So thank you, Hafiz.
After that, we were "supposed" to head on elsewhere, just to jalan-jalan but Zak suddenly felt hesitant or malas as she put it. (It was a perfect day for lazing around)
So we went to Starbucks and had our customary drinks and chat session.
After close to an hour, Hafiz started to get antsy and wanted to get out of Yishun.
Which i thoroughly supported.
So we happily made our way to the MRT without any purpose or reason just to "get out" of yishun.
This was sans Umi cos she had a "hot date"(!!!) *with who arh!*
We finally decided to go to the IT fair. Which made all of us happy.
Have you noticed the SEA of people there!
The crowds were MADDENING!
Went around, but only Azimah came out with a shiny new toy!
I-pod Touch liao!
Haha, we all played the EVIL devil's advocate and "co-erced" her into getting it.
It was fun to see her squirm! *insert evil laughter*
Finally after all the pushing, shoving and jostling with the crowds, we left Suntec to have dinner at Lau Pa Sat.
We WALKED all the way.
From suntec, to marina square, to the esplanade, crossing over to Fullerton, ALLLLL the way to Lau Pa Sat.
Needless to say we worked up quite an appetite for dinner. *we walked abt 2km plus, non-stop!*
We had bbq stingray and kangkong belacan and ordered a plate of honey glazed chicken wings which NEVER materialized.
We were sooo pissed.
Eventually we left with an unsated appetite of glazed chicken wings *haha*
And you know...i left out the best for last.
I had always imagined typing out this post (not the parts prior to this bit though)...
You know the movie "10 Things I Hate About You" which is my FAVOURITE movie of all time.
There's this scene where Katarina Stratford (Julia Stiles) grabs this letter from her dad and hastily tears it open and yells:
I got in? I GOT IN!!!!!
Yes i got MY acceptance letter!!!!!
I was happily bouncing around in the living room, to the kitchen to my bedroom!
*good sigh*
Like, FINALLY!
Yes, it was an excruciatingly, more than a month wait for this letter.
And thanks to all those that kept me optimistic and motivated.
Zak, Azimah, Shereen, Umi and Farhan especially.
Not forgetting my Aunt and my Mom for their unwavering support!
Tonight, i'll sleep with a humongous grin on my face!

Letting the Pictures Speak For Themselves...
Not exactly the best picture (too over-exposed) but Hey! There are the girls i spent my leap night with!
Feeling "oh-so-kakak²-kerja" with the exception of Shasha.
Waiting for Farhana.
The "bunga-rampai" girls as appointed by orang yg nak 
Me and the girlies having a fine time together.
On the way to Huda's...Yes we WALKED people! Luckily her house wasn't too far away (and I wasn't wearing impractical shoes) and it WASN'T raining.
The gorgeous Cikgu Huda.
From Her to Him.
Final touch-up. *the mak andam was damn bitchy lor! even the photographer was royally PISSED at her!* Lucky the make-up really looked good!
Sexy pout!
Me & the gorgeous Cikgu! I can't imagine how much MORE gorgeous she's going to get when she takes on the dais on her wedding day.
The gang & Huda
Happy to be FINALLY engaged!Count dem' flowers people...12 in all. Go figure!
Mr. VAIN himself (or should i say, Ustaz) Izhar, A.K.A. Cikgu Huda's Fiance.
Us at it AGAIN!It was oddly reassuring that i was back in their company.
Going back to familiarity is something that i CHERISH so much!
We regaled with work anecdotes and witty banter...
Not to mention Izhar's bumbling moment as Imam with Ustaz TM Fouzy behind him. *Hahahahahahah*
Nasir with his less than perfect attire (Jubah singkat beb! Kekek!) as Imam or was it? I forget oredy.
And Izhar's first attempt at giving the khutbah at Istiqamah in "bahasa BAKU!"
*lmao!*
Shasha, Dayat (new ASSIIUMer) and myself were not spared from the slip-ups.
Koje (i SWEAR i didn't know Shasha had a N. Sembilan accent) and [h][s] (thats 2 separate phonemes for you) courtesy of Dayat.
Me?
Khutbah became "kutbah" ....
Yes. Go laff silently in the corner...
*slip of the tongue LAH!*
I hope you enjoyed this entry.
Cos i sure enjoyed TYPING IT!
