Hi

Finale of my days in strathclyde - this is what freedom means.

Shout out "woohoooo~~!!" if you just finished your exams.

Ummmmmmm

They just tick me off! Le project of course. Counting down the days to the doomsday! Arrgghhhhhhh... Project project project. Loving it so much, just need more time. I hate being under pressure. But the thrill sure is exciting!

Graduation is in July. Now you see, there's still Elton Towers, Manchester, Liverpool and Loch Ness in the list. Shall I return home just a wee bit late? Huhuhu.. here comes the devils' horns.

I've caught quite a number of movies this month. Now now, don't look any further hunting for a simple, witty movie. "Horton hears a Who" is definitely the 'it' movie. I mean who would come up with such an idea? It's so plain yet interesting and different.

I bought a copy of my no.1 book. I mean it's the book that I will remember for the rest of my life. Seriously. I was strolling across the isles of books in Borders when my eyes were hooked to the book titled "Love in the time of Cholera". The writer, Gabriel Garcia Marquez is a renown writer whose name is more synonym with the book titled "100 years of solitude". Then just across the other end of the same pile of books was a stack of the most delicious, passionate book ever written (well imho) - "Like Water for Chocolate". My no. 1 book:


Both books were originally written in Spanish. They both fall in the category of " Magical Realism". It means exactly what it means. Confusing, I know. Reality with a twist of magic. Sounds exciting doesn't it! The movie, "Love in the time of Cholera" is coming out this weekend. Hope to catch it soon~

Let me brag a bit about the book "Like Water for Chocolate". If you love cooking, and you love 'love', then this is the absolute book to read. Filled with steamy, scrumptious descriptions of cooking interrelated with the tenderness of love. Sensuous!

Surat kabar lama~!

Ah. Fame. Embarrassment. But then again what's there to be ashamed of. Selamat Hari Kebangsaan yang ke 24.

Patapon

Pata pAta paTa PoN

Pon PoN pata pOn

Chaka ChaKA paTa pOn


Kekeke.. This patapon language is intimidatingly addictive. Trust me. It's this game for PSP. You have to play to the beat of the drum to move, attack and defend. Boggle-eyed monsters awaits! It's just so irresistably cute. Before you know it, you'll be singing to the beat. Pon Pon Pata Pon~!

Ambuyat semangkuk agung

Mouth watering. I know.

lauk liking and kulit ayam goreng

prep stuff

all the good stuff

just look at that kepala salmon!

and yes, I'm in Scotland. Though it did feel like I was back home for a meal. Food glorious food.

Lingers around like a tail...

The feeling of being broke is exhilarating. It has this edgy feel to it. Frustrated, angry, depressed.. all these feelings jumbled in a container waiting to explode. But there's always the good side of every bad thing. We can go window shopping with a strong reason. :D Let me emphasize "window" shopping.

I just returned today. Back to my nest. Feels great but I definitely miss everyone. It feels different. Staring at the cars, the buses roaming around in reach of a destination. If only I knew where my destination is. I have my project to worry about. I guess the deadlines are my destinations.

On the note: Now that you're gone, I can see how much I need you.

I demand for holiday!

Yesterday, Embedded Systems (ES) was killing me! Now I'm going to kill it! Whatever that means.
You know it's so easy to write 10 pages of something you understand, than write a line of something you not have the slightest clue about.

So, now we have two pdf files on M68000 and another two on StrongArm. Note that these ebooks total up to 400 pages. The assignment; describe and compare. In other words, write crap as long as it's about these two microprocessors. Four to six pages. I'll choose four. Owh crap!~

Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rocks. Sing with me!

Ya Allah! Help me. This assignment is just impossible~

The whole clan. I kinda forgot to put in my previous previous post.

Wagamamamamamam..

Lameness is slowly dissipating through the thin air. Now I totally recommend "Enchanted". Whoever you are. Do I even know you? How did you manage to get a hold my blog's address? Well leave a comment then. It's interesting to know who's really reading my blog.

Anyhoots, back to the movie of the year, well at least "my" movie of the year. Love it, love it, love it.


How do you know he love's you? How do you know he cares~

Ahh.. a nice dinner. Finally! Wagamama babeh. Repeat after me. "Wagamamawagamamawagamamawagamamawagamama". Fun aye? Lame.. Lam-er more~

Seafood Ramen~

Scrumptious!

Fax nice shot! Talk about candid~

Itadakimas!

Yi li why you order chicken! Cannot share leh~

Wa! Chocolate fudge cake with wasabi! Stop staring. It's mine!

Some chilli fried ramen thingiemajiggy.

Sugardaddy for the night. Keke.

Say "ramen"

It's amazing how unplanned stuff are far more exhilarating than those that are preplanned.

A weekend in London.

Merely an experience.

What ever happens in life, happens for a reason. I take what ever happened in life as education. An education that will last a lifetime.

A simple life seems idle, but what is there to a simple life? A life without challenge, without risk, without consequences. Meaningless I must say. I like to take life lightly, but there are times when some matters need serious attention. Maybe love, maybe work.. who knows.

I'm just not a rules type of girl.

Two weekends ago, can't remember exact dates. Was it the 2nd or 3rd of December? Well anyway, went down to London to meet the King and members of the royal family. It was awesome, a very adventurous and exciting weekend. Best part was definitely meeting up with old girlfriends.

with Syeedah.

with Amal.

with the girls.

with the guys.

Sh*t

It was suppose to be over. But sh*t happens. I guess all I can say for now is to be mature. Whatever mature means.

My new life

After god knows whatever happened.... I'm proud to announce that I'm now casted in a new chapter of my life... and it's just awesome.

The new stuff.. check it out! Can't wait for the guys to show off their numbers.

Really I'm just posing here.

Don't ask.

I just lurve this amp!!!!

Bring up the noise boys!

oh my oh my

I can't believe it!.. left the blogging realm since like forever..

Anyhoots.. I'M BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(by popular demand.. huahuahuahua...)

Hmm let's just say I was living a soap opera for the past two months or so.

To be continued....

Durian!!!!!!!!!

Durian.. nyum nyummm! It's been a long long longgggggg time since I last had "real" durian (and blog. It's been like 2 months since my last update. wow~). Most of the local durians just don't fit my flavour. Ahuks.

And so, as usual, the very un-updated moi was the last to know about fidz! Urgh.. I feel so blur and blunt. Like, in the middle of our lunch at TPH, the clueless slash blind slash ignorant moi asked, "so u guys and fidz joined spanish class.. rite?. How was it?". (DOINK!) The reply goes: "G!~ Inda ko tau kah". (A big "?" above me). *blink blink* in disbelieve. Tapi cool on the outside. God knows what was going on in my mind.. and heart.. and mind. Then the heart. Watever. And so the story continues. The clueless, ignorant moi continued lunch as if nothing happened. Tapi dalam hati.. dushhhhhhh.. whattaheww.. What do I have to say?. Well guess what. I know fidz. I know she'll get through this. It might not go as smooth as the breeze at Tungku beach (what?), but I know she'll get through it. Come on pepz!, it's fidz. The mighty girl next door *winks winks all the way*. You have my prayers babe. Muahz muahz. I know I'm the last so I'll save all the lovey dovey sappy lame all sayings, poems and motos. ;-p

Huhuhuhu.. Believe it or not. I almost forgot about my bff's birthday. Jessiqua darling.. gomenasai!!!! *slap my forehead*.


Last nite was just unbelievably fun! Hahah.. Yes kaka M, last nite was splendid. There was a minute event going on over at aunt's place and it was pouring heavily! So my girls and I were out with our umbrellas (which didn't quite served it's purpose of shielding us against the rain) offering "umbrella services" to the ladies and gentlemen that attended (i.e. guests). It was practically nothing more than a perfect excuse to play with the rain! Hahha.. And so we were wet top to toe, well with minor exceptions, such as the face. *blink blink* (There goes my mascara). Talk about.. "Singing in the rain~" and "Under my umbrella.. ella~ ella~".. You know the rest of the lyrics.


I'm sleepy!!! I hope tomorrow will work out as planned!. Summer don't leave me so soon!!!!!

Hmm... I don't know why.. but I can't get a title for this blog entry. I mean I have one in mind. It's just that the box thingymejiggy for typing in the "title" doesn't seem to accept any input. Wtheyyll..

ANyhoots...... HIIIIIIIIIIIIII!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hehe :D... Did u miss me? U did? Oww.. how touching.. Though I could sniff some sarcasm in your tone. Fine! Don't miss me!. Just love me. :-p

Jokes lagi kah? Hsshh.. adang eh.. Relakkkzzz duluzz.. Oh btw, I just came back from the dentist and my dentals are bleeding. Ouch, I know. My laptop is in Singapore getting it's manicure and pedicure (tearing my hair out!). It takes almost 2 hours to download iTunes in Brunei, so my ipod's pretty empty. It's amazing how useless an ipod can be when it's empty. Muahahhaa.. Urgh.. life just couldn't get any wor.. *ehem*, I mean "BETTER".

Doctor: "Ada masalah with your teeth?"
Me: "Inda plang. Just the regular check up. Tapi doc, cam my gigi ani teshifted sikit."
Doctor: "Iakah? Well let's see. Say "Aaaaahh..!""
Me: I didn't say anything. I just opened my mouth and flared off my pearly not so white teeth.
Doctor: "Hmm.. They seem stable to me. Inda jua apa apa bah. In fact your teeth are in pretty good condition."
Me: "Izzit??? Wassuppp doc." Just kiddin! I didn't say that. I said: "Oh ok. Hmm.. but the teeth yang dapan ani cam menyenget sikit. Inda kah? macam maybe ada wisdom teeth pushing or somthing"
Doctor: "Capizz ko.. ku inject ko karang!" kidding again. She didn't say that. "Well they're pretty solid (while she knocks and presses my front teeth). I don't think you need to worry. But let me just measure it." She measures using a ruler. "Ok it's now 0.4 mm apart (difference between upper teeth and lower teeth). So on your next appointment, I'll remeasure it."

...Cleaning and grinding session in progress. 10 minutes later...

Me: "Orite. Thankz doctor!" Though I was hoping for a some stickers or some sugar-free peppermints. *sigh*.
Doctor: "Ok. Just maintain those teeth."

Moral of the story: Jangan cari pasal sama doctor. Habis ngingis gusi ku uleh nya.

So I'm back in Brunei.. haha batah.. Like bangas.
It feels gooooodd to be home. Though it took a couple of days to adjust to society (i.e. my humongous family). So many newbies. Newbies = new babies. Muahahahahha..

I haven't been online since I left Glasgow. That's like end of May. So went around Europe for a couple of weeks. Venice then Berlin. Both spots were full of surprises. I just lurvedddd it. I love travelling. I love observing the lives of others. It's amazing how we live in different parts around the world, but look up at the same sky everyday. Me and my philosophical thoughts. Just ignore me. Muahahhaa... Jet lagged pakah masih aku anie.

Toodles!

Hello panda

Before I start my tale of Hello Panda Bear, let me whine about my fudging kelinking!!! It fudging hurts.. hiks.. hiks.. Have you ever woken up one lovely morning, and discover that you have a sumpak kelingking? Blegh..

Sorry if I spoilt your appetite. :-D (That was part of the plan *evil laugh*).

The tale of a heroic Hello Panda

Once upon a time in far far away land known as Mesa de la Oji, lived a nameless, jogging panda called.. hello! nameless. nameless.. no name bah.. no name.. no name...

On his pit stop, a monster "thing" sneaked up behind him.. and he screamed, "Ahhh.. Uhhhh.. hantu kah apa nih?.. Boh apakan ku.."..


And before he could finish his sentence, the "thing" grabbed him gently.. eh salah.. fiercely. Yet, a smile laid on his face. (cana jua...).


Under a spotlight, another "thing" came (kambar nya kali.. si "thing" 2).. They held him tight.. and yup.. the hello panda is still smiling.


His yelling and taunting finally paid off when a tentera appeared from the dark forest. Jeng jeng jeng.. steady panda seekong ah.. siap ngan driver golf lagi tu. Setahi..


The evening sunlight shone on them, enlighten them... giving them strength and wisdom.. Then the leader spoke out (in a minnie mouse squeaky tone), "let him go! You midget!"..(uhhuh.. look who's talking)..

The "thing" is mute.. so he replied.. His mute. Hello.. M U T E.. mute.. mute bah mute.. So he replied.. IN SIGN LANGUAGE... "No way!.. Muahahahah..kepala hotak engkaw.."

The hello panda discussed amongst themselves.. "shshhss shsh hhshs.." (Hello panda language bah.. ) which translates to, "aiks.. pandai cakap melayu monster nya.. cuba bagi salam.. Islam kali..".. So they whispered .. "one.. two.. three.. GO!".. (shouted with all their heart)...."Assalamolekomzzzzz~~~".

The hello panda held hostage was so exhilarated when he saw his friends. "Wa'alaikumsalamz frenzz... its about time!".. Sibuk sibuk tia jua kan menyaut.. Tapi hostage masih.


All of the sudden.. the "thing" senyum. (In sign language). And he spoke.. in sign language again.. which translates to..(indirect translation nie.. bukan babel fish).. "Auw bah.. aku tu beibun saja.. kekeke.. nah ambil chia balik kawan mu ah.. inda nyaman.. aku suka perisa strawberry.. Kamu ani puak chocolate.. "

And so the hello panda returned to his village safe and sound.

The end.

Cerita ini adalah rekaan semata-mata. Tiada kaitan dengan yang hidup, yang mati, yang balum lahir, yang reincarnated. :-p

Apanya si kawan.. first paper was a walk in the park.. My buttocks!!.. full of illusion.. ahahha. You wanna know what the side effects of sleep deprivation and after-exam postmortem looks like:

Result:

• Legs crossed on the table
  
• hugging harriz..
  
• watching Elfen lied.. nonstop bloodshed.. not to mention nudity. (i see the guys googling the keyword "Elfen lied" already).. *rising one eyebrow, stroking chin* :-p

Fruits anyone?

I 've been craving for fruits. So voila.. my fruit salad.. Colourful bah.. I couldn't resist taking a shot .

Ingredients:

3 biji strawberries
1/3 of a green apple (shiny ones)
3.44 grapes (red ones)
3.56 green grapes (seedless)

Technique membuat:

chop up the fruits sesuka hati. (n.b: jangan pakai lasung.. bau blacan tia). Pour some of your favourite sauce or syrup. E.g. maple syrup (my personal fav), honey, yogurt, kicap or chilli maggi... kidding kidding.. Ada ni karang org lurus bendul. kekeke.

Itadakimas!!





woisssssssssshhhhhhhhh.. I'm so tired!

I just had the most important conversation!. haha.. Nothing important.. It's just that it was a chat with my bestfriends. I love you both so much Fion n Xiqua!

I've been jalaning quite a lot for the past couple of days. Stress kali. keke.

Waaaaaaaaa... got so many things to do. I want moreeeeeee time. I want to study.. I want to draw.. I want to stitch.. I want to knit.. I want to cook.. I want to read the book I just bought from borders... and so on and so forth. My list of "I WANT TO" is practically endless..

Exam inda lagi batah, but I'm still lazing around. The book is so addictive! I can't stop... waaaa help me!.. Ayudame!! Picked up a book titled 'From my sisters' lips' by Na'ima B. Robert. One word--> Fantabulous!. I know there's no such word.. well there is.. hehe.. :D

I'll probably write a review on it once I finish reading. That is, if I ever do. Which I will.. eventually. Exams are clogging my social activities!! It's like I have 3 weeks to fret about my exams.. when there's only 3 papers to whine about. Urgh.. talk about a span of time! But i'm not complaning or anything.. just whining. Feels good to whine.. doesn't it girls?. :-P

Dazzling.. you wanna see my unicorn kah. Nah for u and the girlz.. :

My Vaio. My Frenz.

Katil ku masa ani meriah. I have several friends occupying some space. I've got 4 keldai, an itik (aka si Yellow), a rabbit.. sounds like a farm... i know.. then there's Harriz the teddy bear, elephant.. macam zoo lah *glancing at my toys. Rising up my left eyebrow like Ziana zain*. I think that's about it.. oh yeah how can I forget.. My big dragon/unicorn.. si Purple.

cute lah!!... No no.. not the guys. I meant the rabbits. Keke.

I just finish cleansing my vaio. With the aid of some cotton balls, two expired subway tickets and a spill of water.. my vaio is now super-shiny. Why the subway tickets? --> to dig out all the habuks and uras in between the celahs of the keyboard and touchpad and punats punats..

Tick tock tick tock..pikir bomb.. rupanya my watch! Skadar~~ I don't know how my watch landed next to my right ear when I woke up this morning. EEeeeeeeeee... I like spring!! The pokokz outside my window are sooo GREEEEENNNNNNNN!!!

I'm menjahiting (cross-stitching to be exact) a rabbit with some poppy flowers. It's a present for my freeenn.. It's looking great.. I think *scratching my forehead, just above the corner of my right eye*. Selena is dragging me to the movies in like an hour and a half. So I have to get ready within and hour or so.. I don't know why but I'm kinda sleeeeeeeeepyyyyyy... kkkerrrrrrrhhhhh... But still I wanna go watch Painted Veil.
