Yes I know! Just 2 days ago I said I'll be invisible to the world of blogging. Haha. So much of a statement. Bluergh! Well...no sweat. Will be a short entry tho. Just wanted to share with everyone that I secured an internship for spring quarter with Floyd Bell Inc. Woohoo!! Am so happy. Will be working part time and attend school at the same time. Hmm...that I have to find a way to manage my time. But for shizzle I can handle it. Transportation will be a problem to me tho. Anybody out there willing to rent me his/her car, please?

Got to go peeps. I have to prepare for my presentation tomorrow in front of 15 people at the OSU Hospital. Huargh! Pray for me peeps.

Adios!

time off

2006-02-19T15:36:00.000-05:00

My final week is just three weeks away. Next week will be a somewhat hectic week for me. I have a meeting and presentation with my mentor and sponsor. And I think I have a progress report to be completed. Not to forget class presentation for the design class.

Plus some health issue to be concerned at. *sigh* It is hard to be a woman of abnormal routine if you know what I mean.

So I'll be invisible to the world of blogging from now onwards until I can keep my feet on the ground again. But don't worry, I'll visit your precious blogs everyday to keep up with your daily progress. And by you I mean you my friends.

I was labelled as a bitch a few minutes ago by somebody...

So full of BS!!

L.O.S.T

2006-02-11T14:26:00.000-05:00

I wrote a pretty long entry yesterday and hit the publish button. 5 minutes after, I decided to delete it. I don't feel good about it. I don't feel good about writing a blog anymore. I've lost the appetite to writing I guess [or maybe I've lost the desire to share my life with everyone?]

Day by day, I felt something's missing in my life. No more fun outing with dear friends or even a nice talk on the phone with them. Part of it is my fault. I've lost the technique of being a good friend. I resorted to living my life alone. My ego is higher than the average Joe. Fuck it!

Albeit my poor friendship skill, surprisingly I made new friends here. Most of them are my classmates and colleagues. But it is sad to think that coming June, I can no longer hang out and have fun with them.

150++ days until my graduation day. Still, I haven't laid out a plan for my future. Go back to Malaysia...stay here longer...working or grad school?

I hate growing up *sigh*

Edited by siteowner on Feb 14, 2006; 1:51AM:
This entry is written during the author's period of bad mood. Glad to announce that the author is actually ok with the situation of living alone. Emptiness sometimes occupy the author's heart; hence producing this kind of [stupid] entry.

on the side note, those who are in Malaysia and enjoy watching theatre, you guys should go and see Puteri Gunung Ledang the Musical (PGLtM). So far the reviews have been good. Jeles seh aku dgn korang-korang yg dpt tgk PGLtM!!

older each day

2006-02-03T00:10:00.000-05:00

Someone's getting older today!!

Happy birthday en. nik ku!!

Tunggu seminggu dua lagi...
And you will smile looking at my package ;-)

May Allah bless you always!
Enjoy your days!
A year older, a year wiser...
Gotta start acting like you are 25....hahaha
(tua nye die dah!! hehehehe)

it's always a double spending for me in February

***************************************************************

on the other hand, my laptop is now officially been pimped! woohoo!! got myself a new hd yesterday (80gb). And I installed it all by myself *clap clap* I would say it's a very daring thing to do considering I know nothing about hardware. But I did it y'all!! At first I wanted to seek someone's help. But then I learn nothing unless I try it, rite?

yeah, that's why you haven't seen my crazy status on YM. coz I'm offline all this month.
and still have to wait for my external hd case to arrive so I can transfer all my precious files from the old hd to the new one.

Malas...

2006-01-29T21:05:00.000-05:00

Right now memang takde mood langsung nak sentuh blog ni sebenarnya. Tapi dah ada orang dok merengek soh saya update. Haish, kene la update sket.

Sakit:
Ye, sepanjang last week saya sakit. From weekend to weekend. Sampai abah and ma risau. Pesan dorang, "ubat tuh jangan lupa. Kamu tu dah nak grad". Aiseh, dah nak grad baru nak risau ke, ma and abah? ;-) Memula start dgn sakit tekak. Pastu demam dan selsema. Kemudian batuk pula. Haish, memang dugaan betul since last week memang minggu midterm and quiz. So terpaksa gagahkan diri pergi kelas. Tak ponteng you! Alhamdulillah, minum tea campur honey tiap2 hari batuk dah reda sket tp still ada. Tapi risau gak, keluar masuk hospital sakit2 tuh, tak jangkit dekat patient lain ke? Huhu...

Hospital Project:
Agak dissapointed sket ngan projek kali ni. Tak mendapat kerjasama sgt dari client (cos she knows nothing!). Terpaksa redah sana sini buat2 tau apa nak kene buat. Dah masuk minggu ke-5 klas, cause and effect diagram blom ada lg. Cemana nak analyse and find the real problem kalo takde cause and effect diagram beb? Flow process baru siap this week. Tu pon sbb kitorg pepandai carik contact person sendiri. Seb baik project ni 6 bln. Still, kalo bole saya nak siapkan project nih dlm masa 3 bln so that the last 3 months bole lepak2. Talked to Dr. Irani (he's my fav lecturer), dia sgt memberi galakan utk kerja keras. Mind you he's not the mentor for my senior project design. Anyway, now I know I can always come to him for opinion. Not that my mentor is not helpful at all, but I like Dr. Irani better. Haha

Elaun:
Dapat dah elaun dr JPA. Alhamdulillah. Amount seperti biasa la. Selalu gembira je dpt elaun. Tapi kali nih byk betul bende yang nak dipikirkan yang memerlukan duit semuanya. Baru menyesal tak penah nak berjimat cermat before nih. Padan muke Nisa! Baru 3-4 hari elaun masuk, dah nak start kosong balik. Sbb dah set aside budget utk itu ini. But I know I can survive. Better sesak sekarang dari sesak masa bulan 6 nanti (yep, big thing will come in June...woohoo!!)

Orait, this is too much. Panjang betul. Konon takde mood. Heh! So long people! Stay safe. Be good everyone!

Hospital...

2006-01-22T15:09:00.000-05:00

Dah 3 minggu kelas start actually...dalam masa 3 minggu tuh lebih 3 kali dah aku ulang - alik OSU hospital. Kadang - kadang pegi Main Hospital (Rhodes & Doan Hall), kadang - kadang kene pegi Dodd Rehab Center. Aku memang paling benci keluar masuk hospital. Leceh nak deal ngan surrounding orang yang sakit. Lagi - lagi kalo kene pegi Dodd Rehab tuh. Nama pon rehab kan. So patients dalam tuh sumanya samada ada spinal injury, brain and head injury, or stroke. So dorang nih suma tgh dlm period nak recover. No, aku tak benci orang yang sakit nih. Cuma sympathy tolerance aku terlalu tinggi sampai kadang - kadang rasa nak menangis tengok dorang. Cam sengsara je tak bole gerak half body la. Or paralyze terus satu badan. Tu pasal aku memang tolak jd doktor awal - awal. Kalo dah sympathy tolerance tinggi sgt, camne nak bg orang injection kan? Kang tak pasal - pasal aku yang menjerit tgk orang menjerit. Huhu...kagum btol aku dgn doktor - doktor sekalian. Hari - hari berdepan dgn orang yang merungut - rungut, yet they can stand it for the rest of their life.

6 bulan aku kene ulang alik hospital...sampai la graduation aku nanti.

Eh, takla. Aku tak sakit. Alhamdulillah sehat je so far. Cuma senior year project aku kene deal ngan OSU Hospital. Dorang tgh ada problem nak transport patient dr Main Hospital ke Dodd Rehab Center. So tugas aku, i have to come out with a solution as to how to get patient out from Main Hospital and arrive at Dodd on time for their rehabilitation period. Apparently, they have a problem with their transportation. Talked to the transportation people before. Currently, they made 500 transfer each day to different locations. Ni teamwork. So far, my team tak dpt lg nak figure out what their real problem is. So pray for us. Moga kitorg dpt an optimize solution before our graduation.

Oh btw, aku kagum dgn facility kat OSU Hospital ni. Dorang siap ade ceiling lift in each room yang bole angkat (hang) patient from the bed to bathroom (chewah, mcm bole jd superman terbang - terbang gitu), hoyer, patient lifter so nurses takde la di expose with back injury while lifting patient that is twice their weight.

Hopefully, sepanjang 6 bulan ni aku tak terserempak ngan emergency ambulance yang bwk patient yang berlumuran darah...or i'm the one who need the ambulance (phobia darah ok!)

still...and still...

2006-01-17T16:10:00.000-05:00

still struggling...
to learn...
to understand...
to accept...
to ignore...

and it is my choice...
to learn...
to understand...
to accept...
or to ignore....

#$^&**^$%#$%^&!!!!

BIG trouble

2006-01-08T12:48:00.000-05:00

I'm in a total huge trouble. See, last two days my laptop suddenly shut itself down. It happens before... a kazillion times actually. And I suspect the fan is not working properly. But this time is different. I tried to switch on the laptop but to no success. So last resort, I reformat my c: in the hope everything will be ok again. Halfway thru the process, a warning pop up: "Format cannot be completed. The ~~dick~~ disk may be damaged".S%$^$%&^*! My c: is crashed. Memang maki hamun (dalam hati) sendirian dlm bilik semalaman. The positive side is, I have 2 partition in my hd; c: and d:. All my important documents; pics, mp3, videos; are all in d: Afraid all the docs will get lost, I touched nothing on d:

Yesterday, dah godek2 laptop tuh. Now I know the position of hd, memory and whats not on the laptop. So i need to get a new hd to replace the old one that will cost me more than 70 bucks. Dangg!!! Cepatlah ujung bulan.

The problem is: is there a way I can recover all my important documents in d:? Somebody please help me! Memang sgt important! All my precious pictures are in it....from my freshman year till now. Mane nak dpt lg experience sebegitu. S$%^&&^%$!

Terima kasih kpd awak yang sudi melayan kerenah saya sepanjang 2 malam yang lepas. Good luck with your final!

Finish & Start

Can't wait to bully you babe!! Keskeskes

A week...

2005-12-13T08:49:00.000-05:00

Baru seminggu start cuti, kepala dah rasa mcm nak meletup sbb terlampau bosan. Keskeskes...nothing to do except watching tv and video - video yang dimuat turun. Macam my bebeh, me too watched Harry Potter on ABCFamily...heheh...Sorcerer's Stone and Chamber of Secret. Willy Wonka pon saya tenguk juga bebeh! Keskeskes...kita sehati sejiwa la...

Shera, this is why I will make sure I'm out of Columbus every break. Hehe...There is nothing else to do here in Columbus. Kalo school days memang best...sbb ade kelas (apakah?) dan classmates...

I'm so looking forward nak terbang gi RPI Jumaat ini. Shopping, swimming, gym, ddr, pool...sume dgn my babe. Memang la sume tuh bole buat kat Columbus nih, takyah pi jauh2 sampai New Albany tuh. Tapi yang bestnye perasaan tuh lain kalo buat sume2 tuh dgn my dearest bestfriend in the whole world. Hahaha! Tapi snowboarding? Aiyark! Tengok dulu la babe...kalo ade keberanian bole la. Ski takmo ke? Hehehe...

Babe, download la movie banyak2...leh same2 tgk nanti. Save duit nak gi theatre ;-)
Cepatlah Friday!!

RPI...here I come!!

2005-12-09T12:44:00.000-05:00

December 16, 2005:
Once again I'll be flying alone. This time to my babe's place. Woohoo!!! Bebeh, can't wait to see you!! That's the only date I can get under $200. Wanted to travel earlier...but the tickets are all more than $200. So have to wait for Friday. But it's ok, I get to spend 2 weeks with my bebeh. Woohoo!! hehe...So excited to see her. Looking forward to Dec 16. I'll only be back in Columbus on Jan 2, 2006...that is a day before school starts.

So no plan done with Macka and the gang. They haven't had their exact plan yet. So I decided might as well I take care of myself. Thruout my 4 years here in Columbus, not once during break did I stay here and do nothing.

So New York, here I come!! Woohoo!!

Bebeh...you better have some interesting plans for me! Hahahah...

made it!

2005-12-08T13:44:00.000-05:00

Seniors said this quarter is the toughest among all. Just because we have two classes with Dr Irani that require plenty of our time. True enough. This quarter indeed required A LOT of my time. My sleep time.

But at last I successfully made it to the end. Thank you Allah! Two more quarters (=6 months) left and I'm officially graduating as an ISE. Woohoo! Looking forward to that moment.

Finals' over. School's over. Winter break is here. For the past two days, I did something that maybe not good to some people, but to me, it felt good. So good that I wanna do it whenever I'm in this situation again. I changed myself a little. What kind of changes? For you to find out yourself. Haha. Hey, you oughtta try everything at least once in your lifetime. That's my principle y'all!

Anyway, haven't talk to Macka yet about the plan. Don't know if the plan will become real or it is just another untouchable plan. Got to go. Have a nice life people! Stay safe!

Still hanging in...tight!

2005-12-05T16:23:00.000-05:00

Ya Allah, aku tahu Kau takkan uji aku jika benar aku tak mampu mengharunginya. Maka berikanlah aku kekuatan dan kesabaran untuk mengharungi ujian-Mu ini. Amin!

I knew.....

I knew all my hardwork finally paid off when my team received this 2 particular emails today.

From: F. Prince, Floyd Bell Inc
For: ISE 532 - Facilities Design

Good Afternoon Dr. Irani,
Thank you for allowing Floyd Bell the opportunity to participate in this quarters’ (Fall 2005) ISE 532 Production System II, Facilities Design course. It has been a great experience.
The teams assigned were frankly incredible! Each team scheduled a primary and secondary time to visit and contacted me by email with our weekly agendas. In the past 10 weeks, I am very pleased to report that there was not one incident of the team not showing up for their allocated time. In fact, my VP of Operations noted that both teams arrived early for their appointments.
These students were professional and respectful. We were please the way they conducted themselves on our manufacturing floor. Our great experience is a really credit to not only the high caliber of The Ohio State Department of Engineering, but to each student as they conducted themselves as Engineers.
It was exciting to work with such enthusiasm about principles and methods for design and analysis of facility layouts, systematic layout planning, production flow analysis, material handling systems, workstation design, and Lean Manufacturing. Upon brief review of their reports they all should be proud of their work.
Each team requested me to contact you. I am happy to report that both teams have turned in their presentations. These results provided will make it easy for me to justify to my management that we should probably hire not just one Industrial Engineer, but a couple for my small engineering department.
Again, thank you so much for the opportunity. I look forward to hosting other courses with you in future.
Sincerely,
Frank Andrew Prince Jr.
Engineering Manager,
Floyd Bell Inc.

Subject: Would your teams be interested?
Hey guys:
Your teams did a great job with your ISE533 projects. I would like to ask that both teams partner with me to create publications that we could sell commercially with author royalties going into your pockets also. Check out my publications of this type at www.zipedu.com/irani.html. Just know please that it will take time and effort to produce a polished and comprehensive document! Well done.
Thank you.
Dr. Irani

I couldn't help it but smile all day long for we really kicked some ass out there. My team;Andhri, Qini, Mike and I, we built such a very good chemistry and teamwork among us. I have no regret at all taking Industrial & System Engineering as my major. I have no regret at all for the 3-hrs of sleep everyday for this entire week if the results turn out to be this good! I know I can make a very good IE in the future.

We decided to take Dr. Irani's offer to publish our presentation in a form of journal. Hey, we can make money! How's $16.00 sounds for a journal entitle Mixed - Model Assembly Line, huh? Besides, it will look awesome in our resume, wouldn't it?

I'm almost done with the quarter. All left is the 2 final exams, which will be on Tuesday. Despites all the complaints that this quarter sucks, or we gotta do lots of work with so little time, or whatever it is, I myself knew that I learnt a lot of good IE stuff in only 10 weeks.

Reminder: Ini bukan entry "masuk bakul, angkat sendiri". Tp utk berkongsi kegembiraan bersama mereka - mereka yang mengambil berat tentang diri ini.

Final week

2005-11-29T06:01:00.000-05:00

I'm busier than the queen bee =) It's my last week of class. Everything needs to be settled; projects, assignments, presentation.I'll write more after my finals.

Btw, I stumble upon this website while doing some research for my paper:
see point #10.

Interesting init?

p/s: bebeh, I might be going to your place during Christmas time. Free yourself from any commitment coz I need you =)

Good vs. Bad

2005-11-20T07:33:00.000-05:00

Bad:
It happened so many times before...
It hurts me so much, my feeling...
At first, I would just ignore it...
Pretend that it didn't happen...
After a while I got sick of it...
Coz it never will ends...
No matter how much I tried to stop it...
No matter how ignorant I was to it...

Is this a sign that I chose the wrong way all this time?
Am I better off without all these bullshit stuff?

Allah, please give me your guidance. I am willing to loose it if that makes everyone happy.

On the other hand,

Good:
We [read:Buckeyes] beat Michigan Wolverines at their home. Woohoo!
Why is this a big deal?
Because the 2 teams has been a rivalry since 1897...
Quoting Macka: Tak sia - sia wat bbq kat umah aku weh
I know everyone will talk about it on Monday, at work and classes...
The boys jumped up and down yesterday [sampai umah bergegar ok!]
They rushed out and screamed F*#k Michigan...
And I was just smiling...
The feeling of being around friends was just too good to be wasted...
We went to ARC at 6pm yesterday...
The boys played futsal...the girls did cardio...
I found out they went to play badminton on Friday night...
Nobody called me or told me about it...
*Sigh*
Was supposed to go and watch Harry Potter...
But after half and hour on the treadmill...
I lost all my energy...
So I slept early...
Maybe will watch it next week...
We have a very long weekend...
Due to the Thanksgiving break...
Been talking with the girls...
About making stuffed roasted turkey...
Anyone knows how to make the best stuffing?
Please!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In the end, I guess the good wins!
Looking at how long the good entry is...
Yeah, stay positive Nisa...
and you [yeah you!] too!

Flurry Day

2005-11-17T00:03:00.000-05:00

Orang lain merungut. Masih musim gugur kata mereka. Nape flurry?
Tapi aku sangat teruja. Permulaan season yang aku suka. Aku jadi tenang.
4 tahun. Aku masih belum bosan...

Permukaan rumput putih gebu. Berketul - ketul ais di tepi jalan.
Tidur malam dipeluk comforter POOH. Dibaluti sweater Aeropostale.
Aku bahagia....

Cuma satu. Berjalan 10 min pukul 6 pg setiap hari. Aku sangat kisah!!

Arah

2005-11-15T14:12:00.000-05:00

Perjalananku masih jauh
Untuk aku teruskan
Arah mana yang hendak
Aku tuju

Sungguh aku tak menyangka
Aku akan tersesat
Pulangkanlah aku
Ke pangkal jalan

Ramai orang yang memandang diri
Tiada seorang pun berani mendekati
Adakah kerana hasutan
Yang membuatkanku kehilangan arah

Salahkah aku bertanya
Ke mana arah pulang
Tunjukkan arah pulang
Salahkah diriku ini
Kerna bertanyakan oh nasib diriku

Berikan ku jawapan
Tunjukkan aku jalan
Mana satu yang harus kupilih oh
Sungguh aku tak menyangka
Aku akan tersesat
Pulangkanlah aku ke pangkal jalan

Tuhan berikan aku peluang lagi
Diri yang kotor ini

(D-Va)

The 1011 [read: Nov 10] day

2005-11-10T20:55:00.000-05:00

Date: 101101
Venue: STAR KLCC
Event: We became one. Terasa dunia ini berpusing - pusing. We both felt happy. We finally became official since 1997.

The love (and lust) grew stronger each day. Even we were separated by 2 states (I was in KL. TOH was in Melaka), nothing can separate us apart (except death and His will). Tapi takdir at that time was not on our side. Separated by coutries really grew us apart. We took our separate way in 2003. I went crazy. And I know TOH did too.

Takdir was again on our side. During a year of separation, we learnt a lot about ourselves and each other. We realized that we both can't live without each other. So we were drawn together again on 040804 during my summer break.

Date: 101105
Venue: In room (TOH's and mine)
Event: I know I should wish TOH anniversary. But TOH didn't realized it is 1011. We were not in our best mind (and mood) today. We fought for almost 5 hrs on YM. It's not my fault or TOH fault. It's our fault. We were close to *this* to lose each other again.

Again takdir was on our side. We managed to settle the problem. I thank God for having TOH in my life. I know nobody else can handle my attitude well enough like TOH did. All these experiences brought us closer. We fell for each other more.

I would call it the 1011 [read: Nov 10] day.

Happy Anniversary my TOH!

Eid Celebration 2005

2005-11-09T23:35:00.000-05:00

This year's raya celebration was the best for me ever since I arrived in Columbus. The fact that this might be my last raya away from my own family made me decided to have as much fun as I can [read:this doesn't mean i dun have fun raya with my family :-P]. Pictures above tell a lot about how much I enjoyed it.

We didn't have a big celebration on the day of the Eid since almost everyone were busy with midterms (it was the midterm week for everybody). Thanks to Kak Nadia & family for organizing an open house at Buckeye Village. She cooked a lot of food...rendang, pulut, masak lodeh etc etc. Thank you so much! The food was delicious! Alhamdulillah. Since I have a midterm that morning, I went to their house later in the evening together with Arn, Matju, Zharif and Quer.

On Saturday, I woke up early in the morning just to make "kek kukus asam gambir", my mom's specialty. It took me almost 3 hrs to bake 2 "loyang" of cakes. Although it didn't taste as delicious as my mom's, you can say that my first attempt is not that bad. Later in the evening, me and a bunch of friends went to see the football game at the stadium [see previous post: Buckeyes vs. Illini]

Sunday was the BIG day. Arn and Syima made nasi kerabu and nasi dagang. Helped them do the kerabu. Everyone gathered @ East Patterson. A lot of foods!! Woohoo!! Who says you can't have traditional food oversea? Nasi impit, kuah kacang, nasi kerabu, nasi dagang, ayam masak merah...just to name some. I had my first ever nasi kerabu that day. Haha. It was one of the steps for me to learn the East coast tradition *wink wink*

We watched Perawan Malam together in the living room. Haha. I felt like at home. Raya with family, watching tv on raya day. The photography session was the best part. I know I laughed a lot during the session. It's good to be around friends.

I know I'll miss celebrating raya with my friends. Guess what? If there is no new girl coming to OSU next year, I guess there will be no more girls cooking for raya. Haha. Pity you guys!

I posted more pics in MY FOTOPAGES . Enjoy the pics!

So, how's everyone's raya? Tell me tell me!! :-D
Take care y'all!

2005-11-02T14:06:00.000-05:00

A very short and sweet text message that I received around 10am this morning really made my day. It kept me smiling til now. All my worries about midterms are gone. Thanks to u!

It's good to know there is a person somewhere out there who loves u and appreciates all your efforts

It's also good to know that I am actually capable of making someone happy

=)

Few notes....

2005-11-01T00:35:00.000-05:00

This raya will be my last raya in US (so far...)
I thot it will be a gala time for me...but
I have 2 midterms, 2 quizzes and project paper due this week
As of now, still not in the mood to celebrate raya
Coz feel like time is running out...me trying to catch up with due date
Not once did I listen to raya songs
And nobody's been asking about the preparation for raya i.e.: who cook what
And did I mention I'm struggling with due date? God, please make it easy for me!
Been thinking about going to DC for raya celebration with the MSD people this weekend
But I have client meeting on Friday which will take half of my day
And 2 interim projects due the next week
All in all, raya di perantauan can be suxx sometimes...
But I thank God for the opportunity to be away from the love ones and still manage to celebrate raya without the real homemade 'ketupat bawang', lemang and pecal embahku
Thaught me how to survive in this life [yeah,as if!]
Now, I have to stop writing coz 2 quizzes and 1 midterm are waiting for me tomorrow.
Wish me luck!

EID MUBARAK!
MAAF JIKA ADA TERKASAR BAHASA SEPANJANG PENULISAN DLM BLOG NI...
ENJOY YOUR DAYS WITH THE LOVE ONES...
MAY ALLAH BRING JOY & HAPPINESS ON THIS BLESSED OCCASION...

Not In The Raya Mood

2005-10-28T15:08:00.000-04:00

Angah message me just now thru YM.

angah: next two week,kitowang gi langkawi..naik train..blk naik flight...3 or 4 hr kot.
along: abes tuh raya camne?
angah: raya nx week la. kitorg gi 12 nov
along: tak aci la! aku tak penah rasa naik train lg.
angah: hahaha
along: nape pegi langkawi?
angah: ntah. saje nak try train kot. lgpon ma nak shopping kat sane. murah sket
along: arituh mase aku balik, taknak pegi jln2...sume pon busy
angah: haha. ni sume dah cuti mase tuh

i felt lonely at a sudden. last year they went to Sarawak without me. And I ended up go to Sarawak alone. Nasib baik Aini ade kat Unimas nak teman aku. This year they are going to Langkawi without me again. Naik tren plak tuh! Urgh! I admit, I'm a bit jealous of my other siblings. They get what they want. Me? I have to usaha lebih to get what I want. Why la they must go without me? I'm sure after this kalo I ask my mom and dad permission, "ma, abah, bole tak along nak gi Langkawi naik tren dgn kawan2?" their answer would be "eh jgn la. bahaya. kamu tu dah la anak dara"

abes tuh along nak pegi ngan sape? dorang sume dah penah naik tren. along je tak penah. nak pegi ngan husband? 2008 pon blom tentu aku jadi isteri org lg. nak tunggu bape lame? huargh!!

this is one of the reason being the eldest child in the family sucks. they expect you to be independant but at the same time they control all your movement. how can i be independant and my feet are being tied down at the same time?? all my life i've been nothing but a good kid. hitam kata dorang, hitam la kata aku. not that i'm saying i hate them. it just that, nobody ever ask me what do i feel playing the role of the eldest daughter.

would it be the same were i not to come to OSU and do my accounting degree at UiTM instead?

at last berjaya jugak aku memaksa diri yang memang susah dipaksa ini utk ke wilce health center pagi ni gara - gara baca blog si ojamoja. ces ces ces! bangun2 je pg td terasa berat betul mata. skali de bendasing - bendasing di keliling mata (euu gross!) daa...terus basuh muka bagai, surf net pasal eye redness. adeh....mmg de cause & symptom. pastu gatal tangan browse xanga oja. tak boleh jadik! dah 2 hari camni. terus aku call doctor's office wat appointment. walla! haha...makasih la miss ojamojako :-)

peace out! nak gi "dating" bersama doctor di health center...

PERNAH TAK?

HAVE YOU EVER

** Have you ever loved somebody so much
It makes you cry
Have you ever needed something so bad
You can't sleep at night
Have you ever tried to find the words
But they don't come out right
Have you ever
Have you ever **

Have you ever been in love
Been in love so bad
You'd do anything to make them understand
Have you ever had someone steal your heart away
You'd give anything up to make them feel the same
Have you ever searched for words to get you in their heart
But you don't know what to say
And you don't know where to start

repeat **-**

Have you ever found the one
You've dreamed of all your life
You'd do just about anything to look into their eyes
Have you finally found the one you've given your heart to
Only to find that one won't give their heart to you
Have you ever closed your eyes and
Dreamed that they were there
And all you can do is wait for that day when they will care

repeat **-**

What do I gotta do to get you in my arms baby
What do I gotta say to get to your heart
To make you understand how I need you next to me
Gotta get you in my world
'Cuz baby I can't sleep

repeat **-**

weird pronounciation

2005-10-14T15:19:00.000-04:00

After more than 22 years of enjoying the beauty of God's creations, I finally realized I cannot pronounce properly some words that contain the letter 'O' in it. My 'O' will sound somewhat strange than other people. Botol, Peugeot, poyo...to name some. Surprisingly I never realized my weirdness (haha) until he laughed his heart out at the way I tried to pronounce the word Peugeot (of course in the correct French pronounciation)

p/s: kak tuty, still owe u the 'tag' thing tho. Will find the time ;-)

The 7th Day of Ramadhan

2005-10-11T21:29:00.000-04:00

Alhamdulillah Ramadhan is great for me. Even though I have to be with foods (read: making sandwiches & salads) every morning, I still managed to prevent my hand from picking some grapes from the stems and put it in my mouth.

And I'm amazed at how much knowledge my colleagues have about Ramadhan. Most of whom I talked to know what Ramadhan is, what time the Muslims eat sahoor (they called it 'early breakfast') and what time the break-the-fast time.

School assignments and projects are piling up on my desk. And I still have 40 more pages to go for my Marketing & Logistic midterm tomorrow.

O Allah, on this day,
help me with its fasts and prayers,
and keep me away from mistakes and sins of the day,
grant me that I remember You continously through the day,
by Your assistance, O the Guide of those who stray.

Ramadhan Mubarak!

2005-10-03T23:17:00.000-04:00

Selamat Berpuasa Untuk Semua Umat Islam!
Moga Ramadhan kali ini membawa lebih berkat dan manfaat!

dah start mengambil gambar raya =)

Good Luck!

2005-10-02T09:12:00.000-04:00

To my lil bro, good luck and do well for your PMR. Along will always pray for your success!Ganbattene!!

my mom, me and adik

6 Syarat

2005-10-01T14:37:00.000-04:00

Sana sini orang sibuk berkata pasal pemakaian seseorang perempuan muslim. Komen lengan baju 3/4 panjang tak tutup aurat la...tudung tak melitupi dada la...baju ketat nampak bentuk pinggang la...

Tapi ada tak orang kecoh pasal lelaki muslim yang main bola/futsal pakai seluar pendek 5" atas lutut? Atau yang mandi - manda di sungai tanpa berbaju nampak pusat?

Sana sini orang sibuk tetapkan syarat untuk jadi isteri perlu pandai masak, basuh baju, sopan - santun, hormat orang tua bagai...

Tapi ada tak orang kecoh2 syarat untuk jadi suami perlu solat 5 waktu lengkap, hafal surah2 pendek dan khatam Quran?

Bukan senang jadi wanita...

Dan bukan senang jadi lelaki...

Untuk bakal suami aku, aku nak kalau bole dia tak hisap rokok supaya nanti aku pon tak terkena panahan asap rokok tuh. Solat 5 waktu bukan isu besar bg dia, bahkan dia akan jadi pengingat aku. Main bola pakai seluar bawah paras lutut supaya tak terdedah peha tuh kat orang lain. Quran at least sekali dah khatam dan tahu hukum hakam tajwid supaya aku tak perlu bazir duit hantar anak - anak mengaji kat rumah orang lain. Surah - surah pendek tuh di hujung jari je supaya boleh divariasikan surah2 lazim dalam solat berjemaah kami nanti. Sifat 20 dan sifat - sifat mulia nabi dah dihafal dan paham dari sekarang, bukan lagi 2-3 hari nak bersua muka dengan tok kadi.

Senang je kan syarat-syarat aku tuh? Ala, tuh semua basic agama yang kita belajar dari sekolah rendah agama lagi.Kalo tak pegi SRA dulu, mase sekolah rendah kebangsaan pon ustazah dah ajar.

Good Shot!

2005-10-01T06:12:00.000-04:00

Cukai rokok dinaikkan 13 peratus

Serve you right dudes!! Now you guys have to pay higher price to make sure you destroy your body. Hahaha...

Bad day huh, kak nadia and elle? Yeah i understand.

My days were loaded with school works. Its only what? 2nd week of class? Yeah...and i'm already felt like giving up. Huhu...too much works to be completed this quarter. Whats with morning work some more. Haiya! Been thinking about quitting the job tho but I NEED MONEY y'all!!

Added to my weekly schedule are now two trips a week to FLoyd Bell for my ISE 532 project. On the positive side, it's a very good experience; collaborating with the company; as I can gain experience in industry as well as it will look good in my resume. But we (my team and I) gotta come up with IE skills and whats not in order to do research at the facility. Kaizen, Kanban, JIT, Push & Pull Scheduling, Type of Muka etc etc etc. All need to be at the tip of my finger. Arghh!! A 3" spiral binding of report need to be completed by the end of week 10. That's only for ISE 532. And I don't wanna start talking about ISe 533, ISE 640 and ISE 509! It just jam up my mind more.

Plus the not-so-good-alchemy between me and him. Hmm...who says LDR is good??

The only thing that keeps me on the real world track is the fact that I'll be graduating in June. Yeay!!

One more thing y'all, I went to the new RPAC to play volleyball for the first time. Awesome!! Of course I meant the RPAC. And now I'm proud to call myself a Buckeye!

Now I need to go to bed. Had to work at 5am tomorrow morning coz there are lots of order to be completed by 11am.

Peace out...

Safe and Sound

2005-09-22T15:14:00.000-04:00

Alhamdulillah, I'm already in Columbus making my way to the bachelor degree (Ha ha ha) Arrived here on Tuesday evening. Am so tired and still adjusting myself with the time difference. Surprisingly said I'm enjoying my days here in Columbus. No homesick or missing someone that bad and I considered it lucky. Hahaha. See, when you set your 'nawaitu' correctly, everything will go smoothly inshaallah.

"And suddenly when u realise about it, you're already on your way back home again" - Shoe

Will be great busy this quarter with school works as I have two BIG term project, one which requires my team to industrial exposure (i.e: working with local company) and the other one requires my team's IE skills. Both need hardwork and presentation. Not to mention time commitment. Also another 2 sub projects. All these 4 projects are for my ISE core subjects. I planned to register myself for the social dance class. But looking at my schedule, I don't think I can manage to squeeze more time for my dance paperwork. Besides it is only a credit hour class. So I decided to drop the dance class and took up business class instead. At least I can use my business class for my tech elective class. Plus there is not much work for that class. All I have to do is read and understand the subject matter (and I love reading!)

I still live at the same hostel building but different room as before. This time I'm at 3rd floor! Isn't that sweet? Going down the 3 storey building every morning, walks for 5 mins to ISE department and climbs up another 3 storey building for ISE classes. Awesome! What a work out year for me.

My room is quite spacey compared to last year's room. Not to mention a new geeky roommate who happen to be an OSU band member. She plays trumpet. And she's OK. A few other Malays live in the same building as mine. Honestly I felt glad to have them in the same building as mine.

Oh, and how's my journey back to Columbus? It was great actually. The flights were OK. The foods were OK too. Newark's OK. Columbus is OK. All in all, I'm glad to have been arrived safely. Can't wait to burst my ass off for the new quarter. I'm glad I can get along well with my teammates. Mike is the clown of the group. Qini talks a lot which makes me a not-so-quite-CT. Andhri tries his hard to make me understand his Indonesian slang. And I can see we will be having a helluva of terrific time this quarter.

Sayonara Msia

2005-09-18T08:44:00.000-04:00

My last night in Msia. So sad to leave Msia (and of course the ppl) If I were given a choice, I would rather not go back there. But that would make me an unthankful person right? One more year to go. And let just pray I can make it to the end in one year.

My flight is at 930am tomorrow morning. Please pray for my safe journey. I would travel alone as usual. This time I have to survive a night in Newark as there is no flight to Columbus on the same day I arrive in EWR.

Been told myself, set a nawaitu before taking off on the plan. So that my stay in Columbus will be blessed by Him.

Maybe I'll write about my summer break later. Or maybe not...

---no title---

2005-09-12T10:52:00.000-04:00

Haven't write for quite sometimes. The thoughts were there but I couldn't potray it in words. Guess my sense of writing is growing worse each day. It is now the time of the year again. Where sadness come knocking hard at my heart. One minute I can smile and laugh like a clown whereas at another minute I can sit at one corner with a sorrow face.

One more year to go. One more year!

A friend's word: skali ni je lg rase mcm tuh...lepas tuh dah takyah nak pegi sane lg..

Fuh!!

O Allah The Almighty, please give me the strength and guide me well...

Selamat menyambut harijadi kemerdekaan yg ke-48 Malaysia!

----------------------------------------------------------

Ahad yang lepas, kami para Sohabat seramai 10 orang berkumpul semula. Kali ini Pizza Hut Ampang Park menjadi pilihan. Memang sengaja tidak mahu berkumpul di mana - mana shopping kompleks. Nak elakkan kesesakan manusia. Janji berkumpul 11pg. Tp aku terlambat tertinggal tren di sri petaling. Kalo aku lambat, otomatik Shu lambat sbb kitorg janji jumpa kat Masjid Jamek gerak naik putra same - same.

Anyway, as always nak meletup pizza hut tuh ngan suara kitorg. Tak peduli ngan layanan buruk waiter waitress pizza hut tuh, kitorg ngan prinsip customer's always right. Hehehe...Jeff Timmons (betul ke eja camtuh?) was there too. Anem ngan Khaty je yg recognise si Jeff ni. Ape lg...sesi photography pon berjln la seperti biasa.

So happy to see the girls again. No one can replace the friendship that I built with the girls.

Sebahagian dariku...

2005-08-27T15:00:00.000-04:00

Dalam bersedih - sedih masa kat Malaysia dah semakin suntuk, sebahagian diriku sebenarnya tak sabar nak balik ke sana. Rindu lunch dan dinner bersama rakan - rakan di Joy's Village. Rindu masak bersama rakan - rakan. Rindu ber 'road trip' bersama rakan - rakan. Rindu menyakat mereka.

Paling tak sabar...ingin melancarkan perang 'revenge' yang telah beberapa hari terbuku di hati. Hohoho...watch out for my power y'all!!!!

I wasn't feeling so well today. Still I went to fetch him up from Bukit Jelutong around noon and went straight to Angah's place to give her the Honda City. Angah dropped us at Serdang Commuter Station. We headed straight to KL Central. Bought our bus and skyway ticket and boarded the bus up to Genting. Genting, here we come!! Woohoo!! Arrived there around 4pm. Met Elle and her beau. Check in at Theme Park Hotel and spent the evening in bed cos I'm so tired. Woke up around 7pm. Got ready and headed to First World Plaza. Bought the indoor ticket and tried on every rides. It was fun. Then we 'asah' our 'bakat' in karaoke. Haha. Me with my sore throat. What a good combination. I ended up with a very husky voice after the karaoke session. Then tried our luck searching for mapley. I knew there was a mapley up there. I knew it's in one of the car park but I didn't know which one. To our exhaustion, we failed to find the mapley. Went back to our room in disspoinment.

Theme Park Hotel

August 5, 2005:
Woke up in the morning for breakfast. Then headed straight to Outdoor Park. My first time went on the Space Shot. And I promised myself I won't ride that ride again. Ever! Haha. However Flying Coaster did catch my attention. Eventho it was a RM10 ride, I did enjoy it. I screamed myself out loud just for the fun of it. Oh come on! Where's the fun of riding the ride without screaming your lung out right? Hehe...Oh and yeah, we finally managed to find the mapley later that evening. Fyuhh!! Terubat rindu pada mapley. Hehehe...

Flying Coaster

Space Shot

Later that night, Elle & I brought the boys into Snow World. Well, it was fun watching their first time with snow. Hehe. Played the snow tube and I hurt my **s real bad.

Snow World

August 6, 2005:
Woke up in the morning for breakfast. Then packed our things and check out. Since we still have our outdoor tickets, we spent the rest of the day strolling around the outdoor theme park. Hehe...

All in all, we had so much fun spending the weekend together, the four of us =) It was all worth the money we spent. Elle bebeh, maybe we should do this kind of activity again =)

Genting & 8882

2005-08-08T20:36:00.000-04:00

Sorry for the long silence. Streamyx kat rumah ni masih lg tak btol2. Katenye telekom tgh upgrade dr 1mbps ke 4mbps. Kemudian katenye downgrade plak sbb de problem. Kemudian nanti tak tahu la ape lg alasan diorang. Hoi!! My dad pays for the streamyx tau tak!! Rugi la kalo tak dpt guna.

On the other hand....a few updates about my life =)

Genting:

Went up to Genting last Thursday with my beau, Elle & her beau =) Spent 2 nights up there. We were having so much fun. My first time naik space shot terus tak berani nak naik lg dah. Kecut perut seh!! Hahaha...ada permainan baru, Flying Coaster. Nak naik kene bayar RM10. Tp it was all worth it la because permainan ni la satu2 nya permainan yang rasa sgt puas bila naik. Dia terbangkan kita ala - ala superman walaupon permainan tu dibuat ala - ala spiderman. Spiderman terbang ke? Siap dipusing - pusing kita 360 degree lg. Uish...mmg jerit tak hingat nye la...We the girls bawak the boys masuk snow world. Best tgk orang first time pegang snow nih. Hehehe...

8882:

My parents' 23rd wedding anniversary!! August 8, 2005. I bought them an anniversary card and a dinner @ Pizza Hut. To my parents: Semoga dipanjangkan umur, diberikan kesihatan yang baik, dimurahkan lagi rezeki, diberikan cahaya keimanan yang berterusan, dikekalkan bersama bahagia sepanjang hidup di dunia dan di akhirat oleh-Nya. Amin!!

Secara teori

2005-08-03T21:00:00.000-04:00

Secara teorinya...today is our (read: me & TOH) first anniversary. Yeay!!!

Happy anniversary sweetheart!!!

Why did I say secara teori?

We met in August 1997 during National Day parade. We end up as a couple on Nov 10, 2001. Then something happened along the way and we were separated. But destiny has it that we met again and be a couple on August 4, 2004. Since then, we are so happy together =) Now if people ask how long have we both been together, I would say 4 years. Hahaha...sesuai? Sesuai la kan...

Busy ke?

2005-07-26T02:16:00.000-04:00

Takde la se busy mane saya cuti 3 bulan ini. Masa banyak yang terbuang begitu sahaja. Cuma tiada apa yang mau dikongsi bersama di sini. Tu sebab blog ini tidak di update seperti selalu =)

Dalam minggu ini rutin saya bermula seawal 6pg. Bangun bersiap - siap seperti orang yang dah bekerja. Ya, saya bekerja sekarang. Menjadi driver kepada ma (tidak bergaji ya). Puchong - Bangi - Putrajaya - Puchong adalah laluan yang sudah biasa bagi saya. Menghantar ma ke Akademi Perakaunan Malaysia seawal pagi untuk mengelakkan kesesakan lalu lintas (ma sedang berkursus), kemudian sebelah petangnya mengambil ma semula dan bergegas ke MOF Putrajaya untuk ma siapkan kerja. Malamnya pulang semula ke Puchong. Penat. Aku yang penat menghabiskan masa di dalam kereta sepanjang hari. Bila nasib tak menyebelahi aku, abah perlu kerja malam dan tugas abah mengambil adik diganti oleh aku.

Aku tidak sabar menunggu minggu hadapan. Tugas driver tidak bergaji akan digantung sekejap untuk aku 'makan angin' =)

Counting days...

2005-07-18T08:25:00.000-04:00

For...
July 26 - feel 'big' again...
Aug 4 - First anni (theoretically...) & up to tanah tinggi...
Aug 5-7 - PC Fair @ KLCC...

It's only been about a month since I arrived here. But I felt like I've been here forever. Hihi. Been enjoying my days with family & TOH. Oh so much fun when u live your life around the people u love most. Went here and there with the family & TOH til I don't know where else to go to hang out. Thank you dear for the lovely time spent for and with me ;-)

I went back to Teluk Intan on Saturday. It was a last minute plan. The original plan was for my family to go up to Raub for a fruit eating gala at one of the orchard there. But late at Friday night, my mom received a phone call from my cousin, saying that her mom (my mom's youngest and only sister left) had been admitted to Ipoh Hospital. So my mom and dad drove up to Ipoh to see Cu Midah. My brother and I had to stay home because he had to go to his tuition session and I have to be his baby - sitter. Later on Saturday morning, I received a phone call from my mom. She insisted that I brought my lil sis & bro back to kampung cos Cu Midah didn't look that good. But alhamdulillah Cu Midah is getting better by days.

Anyway, can't wait for the weekend to come (what?? it's only Monday la today) I need plan plan plan! Bowling hun?? Or movie at OU?? Oh I know I know!! Petting Zoo bebeh!! hehehe...we can bring along akak's son maybe...hmm =)

Sg Gabai (July 10, 2005)

2005-07-10T19:43:00.000-04:00

(click on a picture to see a larger image)

Went to Sg Gabai yesterday (Sunday) with The Other Half, Angah and her beau. We had so much fun! The place was quite nice. It has a natural water sliding. Hohoho. Angah's beau brought along shisha. The boys were so into that shisha that they would rather enjoyed the shisha than the cold water. Hahaha. Oh, we arrived there around 10am. A few people were there at the time we arrived. The place started to get crowded around noon. There was this one 'pakcik' collecting RM2 for the parking ticket. I don't know where the money went to as the public toilets were so urgh, yucks, and urgh!!

Anyway, did I mention we had so much fun? Hahahaha

Elle, too bad you missed the trip ;-) Make a new plan and I'll be on my way with my TOH, ok? Hehehe...

Tick Tock!!

2005-07-08T20:46:00.000-04:00

So much to do...so little time...

I only left with 2 months before I turn myself into a student full of "dedication" towards her final projects. When counted, there is only a few times left (coz we can only meet on Saturday, Sunday & Monday) that I can hang out with The Other Half. Must make full use of it! Need to go here and there. Need to do this and that. Need to eat this and that. Also need to steal my bebeh away from her beau for a while. Strategies! Strategies! Hehe...

Hey, why kecoh - kecoh wanted to do all the stuff? Next summer still ada maa??

Aha! I've already made up my mind. I won't be coming back to Malaysia for next summer insyaallah. I'll stay till my graduation day. And maybe I'll apply for Optional Practical Training. OPT is like industrial training here in Malaysia. The difference is I'll be doing it after completing my degree. As far as I know, looking at the scope of job concerning my study field, I'm far better to stay in the States than going back to Malaysia. Biar betul?? Insyaallah. Besides some of the girls I talked to in the States, they are all planning to do the OPT.

Or I might continue my masters study if and only if I can find a sponsor.

Besides, Europe is waiting for me! Woohoo! *day dream*

Bagus Sungguh!!

2005-07-07T23:17:00.000-04:00

Bagus sungguh saya minggu ini. Memproduktifkan diri di dapur seorang diri setiap petang menyediakan makan malam untuk keluarga. *Mbah dari kampung bertandang ke rumah sepanjang minggu mengikat kaki saya untuk keluar berjalan - jalan kerana kasihankan *mbah keseorangan.

Kari ikan, sayur **bening, rebung & ***babat masak lemak, mi goreng, sambal sotong kurita, bilis goreng tepung....younameit.

Elle bebeh...can't wait to go makan angin with u & ur beau!!

*mbah = nenek
**bening = masak tumis ala sup/berair
***babat = perut lembu

Congratulations!

2005-07-04T10:19:00.000-04:00

Minggu lepas saya agak sibuk. Ke hulu ke hilir mencari kad dan kek yang sesuai. Untuk celebration apa? My dad's job promotion! Tak penah lihat abah begitu gembira selepas mendapat panggilan telefon drpd big boss. Terus kepala saya merangka plan untuk abah. We went to The Legend Hotel untuk makan malam. Yang menariknya suma belanja atas abah. Woohoo!!

Anyway, congratulations to my dearest abah!

Nasib Badan

2005-07-01T16:33:00.000-04:00

Dulu...dipisah oleh 2 benua...
Memang dalam daily planner takde langsung perkataan dating tuh...
Sekarang...cuma dipisah oleh 2 negeri...
Masih juga sukar mengatur date...
Hai la...
Nak buat camne kan...
Bila ditanya...
Memang bosan begini...
Bertahun - tahun hadapi situasi yang sama...
Macam tiada penghujungnya kisah ni...
Tahap sabar makin hari makin menipis...
Bila nak tukar dr PJJ ke PJD nih???

Right vs. Wrong

2005-06-29T04:36:00.000-04:00

When it comes to the people that I care most, i.e: family, best friends & him; it was hard for me to let them know my true feeling. I know I should have correct them for their wrong thought about me, yet it was hard for me to open my mouth and let them know the right things. I would rather keep my mouth shut and watch them go with their thoughts. I know that is not the right thing to do because at times I can explode and burst out my anger to them without even a slight warning about the explosion.

I REALLY hate it when suddenly the people that I care most PM or SMS me with this ayat: Oii...senyap je. Busy berdating dengan nik ke? As if I don't have anything else to do besides just hanging out with my other half. In fact at that time I have more important things to attain to such as my assignments or my family matter.

Yet I can only let out my anger in here coz I don't have the guts to actually tell them what I feel about their messages due to the fact that I'm afraid they will walk away from my life and I'm left with less and less people that I care most around me.

Hmm...

Dunno what...

2005-06-27T00:09:00.000-04:00

Tried to think of a suitable title but dunno what...hahaha...anyway...it's been a while since i last visited this page...me myself have been abondoning my own page...huhu...

Today is my mom's bday (June 26). My dad, my lil sis & bro and I wished her happy birthday around 12.05am. Isn't that sweet? Hehehe...I pray for my mom's good health thruout her life.

Went to SSP Cyberjaya on Sunday in four cars (mine, Anem's, Shawn's & Fadilah's) to witness (sesuai kah?) the wind orchestra competition among SBP. SSP was one of the finalist. Somehow I don't think pink and red suits the girls. Haiya! The were 15 of us the Sohabat9600. I'm sure Shera or Anem will pour out the info later in their blogs. And pictures pls! I don't bring my camera =( Anyway, I don't know the result as I left early to meet The Other Half. We went to IKEA to find bookshelf and a couple of frames for my room. Then we stopped by at Giant Section 13 to buy birthday cake for my mom.

Elle bebeh...too bad you are not around this weekend. Anyway, the plan is cancelled as I might go to Dataran Putrajaya on Saturday night to watch World!! hahaha...Maybe the next week. But I'll give you a call sometimes next week insyaallah, aight?

Saya suka!! Saya suka!! Saya suka!!

Hoot Hoot!!

2005-06-16T19:45:00.000-04:00

Come Monday, it's been a week since I arrived in Kuala Lumpur. Thank God I didn't suffer from jetlag. I have a secret recipe to force myself to bed according to Malaysia's sleep time (which is 11pm onwards...haha) But I suffered from a couple of migraine (due to the humid weather) attacks for a few days. It sucks all time but hell, I have to deal with it anyway.

Btw, the first day I drove my car (that I share with my lil sis), I was hit by a man (damn u sucker!) It happened on Tuesday I believed. I was at Putrajaya on my way back to Puchong after picking up my mom from her office. Thank God when the accident happened, my mom and lil sis were with me. We were stopping at this traffic light nearby the MOF. When the light turned green, the Perdana in front of me was late to move. I was about to honk the Perdana when suddenly BAM!! Shitt! I looked through the rear mirror and saw a man with his sunglasses. Stupid, I yelled! (Mind you my car is a brand new Honda City!! Got it 3 weeks ago!) I've been driving since after SPM. I never hit any car. Suddenly this man broke my record. I went out of the car and started to yell at him (you know how bad my temper is, right?)

Apsal tak jalan? Lampu dah hijau. He said.
Yang kelam kabut sgt kat traffic light ni pebenda bang? I said.
Kete depan tak jln lg, cemana saya nak jln? I said again.

He kept his mouth shut.
My mom told me to call my dad. She took down all that man's info i.e: address, ic #, car plate #, everything. I was very pissed off coz the bumper is dented to the inside. His car? The front plate was slightly broke. Damn! It will only cost him RM15 to replace the plate. My brand new car suffered a lot. And he's driving this old honda civic. After exchanging a few information, this man agreed to pay all the damages.

I would say I was a bit phobia after the incident. I was like looking at the rear mirror every 5 secs (jezz!) just to make sure the car behind me drive at a safe distance especially when stopping for the traffic light. After the incident, I received a rather long lecture from my dad about driving safe (hell, it is not my fault the accident occured!! why should i get the long lecture?)

It is very important to drive carefully in KL, you know? Defense driving is very important. Nowadays ha, motorcycle likes to just beat the traffic light no matter what color the light is. And riding on the opposite traffic flow. So just be careful about that. One more thing, if people honk or flash light at you, don't provoke them back. That'd what happened to all the drivers that got slashed or stabbed you know? They provoked the man back. The man blocked the car. Got down, a few fight and you are already tergolek on the road you know? Just give way to them no matter how big or small the car is. Jangan angkat - angkat tangan or anything. Just buat tak tau. And make sure the safe distance between cars. Once you leka, the moment the front car emergency brake, and you can't do nothing. Just bam! KL drivers are different you know? -my dad-

And at this moment, all I think is I hate living in Kuala Lumpur because of the level of rudeness in it's people. I'm not trying to show off how special I am for living in US. But that is the truth y'all. The kakak at the LRT Bandaraya counter was rude to me yesterday. The drivers. Come tomorrow, who else knows who might act rude towards me.

Or is it because I'm used to the friendly environment of Columbus that I judged the people of KL?

Hmm...

Columbus - Washington DC - Newark - Stockholm - Kuala Lumpur

2005-06-13T13:08:00.000-04:00

Alhamdulillah...
Arrived in Msia safe and sound..
(Yes Anem, I'm home!)
Tho I have to say travel alone is sucks!
Flight from Washington DC to Newark was delayed more than half an hour...
Flight from Newark to Stockholm also delayed for an hour...
That made the flight from Stockholm delayed for an hour too...
Geezzz!!

But all in all, I'm glad to be home...
Back to my dear family...
First meal: roti canai and teh tarik...
Arhhh...Malaysiaku yang terchenta!

So to all my friends,
Don't forget to hollar me if you guys are hanging out somewhere...
My number is still the same inshaallah...

can only meet him next week..*sob sob sob* six months of waiting, when finally here, have to wait some more haa? haiya!!

Tralalalalalalala.......

2005-06-09T23:52:00.000-04:00

Exam dah abes. Projek dah abes. Presentation dah abes. Assignment dah abes. So ape lagik?
GUMBIRA laa!!! Hahaha...

Alhamdulillah everything went well. Those who remembered my to-do list a few days (or shall i say a few weeks) ago must have thot how can i managed to get everything done in time. Tada!! Procastinator, i am not! hahaha. Me myself can't believe i managed to control everything. Fyuhh!!

Right now i'm trying to pack all my things for the summer. Really i'm not a good 'packer'. Hahaha. See, i'm not that organized. So if i let things go my way, then i would just 'campak' everything in a big box. That would have simplify my life. But i'm trying to be more organized so that i can easily find the stuff i need when i get back here again. So far i've thrown 6 13-gallons plastic bags full of unneeded stuff away. See how much stuff i have to myself all this time. Told you i'm not that organized. I would just let things lay down in the room without having the effort to throw away the unwanted stuff. Silly me! Kan dah susah bila nak move out.

Anyway, i have a very long journey to catch this Saturday. An annual trip alone back to Malaysia. I had enough of Columbus and the people around me. Need new fresh air. Keskeskes. Poyo! Sangat kot! Can't wait to meet old buddies in Malaysia. Families and friends. My significant other. Got a 'big' project coming soon inshaallah=) Tu pon if both my parents agree to that idea. Huhu *crossing my fingers*.

So i have to bid farewell for now. Pray for my safety throughout my journey. Inshaallah will update soon when i arrived in KL.

Malaysia, here I come!!

p/s: kak nadia, inshaallah i'll send all the racquets and shuttlecocks to your house the latest by Saturday morning. Is that ok with you? Don't have the time to run to your place la =) Gomen! (which means sorry)

Berminat?

Speechless...Hopeless...Clueless

2005-05-30T17:23:00.000-04:00

Jun 11 is just around the corner. Theoretically, I should feel the excitement. Yet I felt lost lately. To go back or not to go back?

Maybe because there are still tonnes of things I need to take care off in between this week. I need and have to pack myself with all the projects and presentation. I need to pull both my legs in order to get all those things done by this week.

Yesterday's chat with someone close to me thru YM really made me think twice about some decisions I've made before. Decisions that I thought were ~~right~~ best for me in the first place. Yet after several months, they still don't seem quite ok for me. I guess the wait - and see theory really works for me. It somehow lead me to some results. A straight way to my sadness. Well, what we think suit us best doesn't always suit other people, right? Seriously I hate selfishness. My entire life, I criticized people with selfishness. Just because of some shitless history we don't take other people's feeling into account when making decision. WTF??

Well, people out there. Please pray that I can get through this 2 weeks of school so that I can happily leave Columbus and meet the ones I love in Malaysia; family and friends.
