what i like about the festive season

1. All the family members will be home and we'll be together. =)

2. Balik kampung! Yeay! Can meet all my crazy cousins and do our crazy projects. And gossipping, and camwhoring and 'uno'ing and make one hell of a mess.

3. Raya songs will be played on the radio and we will sing together all the way to our kampung.

4. Eat! There'll be 7 to 8 meals a day. Pre breakfast, breakfast, pre lunch, lunch, in between lunch and tea, tea, pre dinner, dinner, supper.

5. There'll be food that we rarely find during other days like lemang, rendang ketupat, kuih raya etc.

6. Collect duit raya! (Yup! I still get duit raya from the family!)

7. Shopping! This is the time to buy new clothes etc. Reason --> it's raya what, must look good.

8. Visiting neighbours, friends etc. This is the time where we streghten our relationship, the chance to meet those that we have not meet for a long time.

9. Open houses. Get to eat some more and meet friends.

10. This is also the time when we can ask for forgiveness from each other, especially to our parents without them asking "Ha, ape zareen da buat?" or "Zareen ok ke?". Haha.

Can't wait! Only a few days more!

at last!

haih. it's very hard to get the tickets for this movie. after a few days trying and struglling, at last I got 5 tickets! yeay!

everyday I look at this screen,
but what I get was a fully booked hall. haih.

JayR was dying to see the movie, so by hook or by crook, I must get the tickets. after all the sweats, the movie better be extremely good!

back from the dead

woahh! it's been a long time since my last post. I'm damn busy this semester plus the suckish internet connection in UTP, I couldn't update my blog frequent. next week is the last week for this semester before the study week and exam week. can't wait for the semester break. my head's about to explode. even though, next week is the last week, it is sure to be a hectic one. on monday, i need to upload my not-yet-done IP project plus I have AI presentation. on tuesday, I have DCN presentation, IP test and SE presentation and project submission on wednesday, HCI presentation and project submission plus SBE case study submission on thursday! crazy right?? luckily friday is a holiday.

even with all the workloads, I still managed to enjoy myself. I went to school this morning. they were having georgian fiesta today. it's sort of like a canteen day where classes sells food and we have concerts and stuff. I arrived at school with my handsome lil bro and cute lil sis at about 11 am. Walked here and there reminiscing my good old school days. the school have changed a lot. there was this new cafeteria like place in between the canteen and the class. the chairs and table in the canteen have changed too. and there is no longer 4 and 5 Vokasional. it seems that now there are 2 vocational classes so they stick to the name Topaz and Zamrud. quite sad though, cause I can still remember how proud these vocational students say that they're from 4 or 5 Vogue.

my first batch mate that I saw was Bawang. she still looks the same, still trendy but still short. haha. sorry ek Bawang. then I saw Mellisa and some of her friends. when I went to the canteen, I saw Zera! she's with M. she looks quite the same too, except that she got slimmer and looked more matured I guess. but inside, she's still the same person. my lil sis wanted to ride the horse, so I brought her there. that's when I saw Sharmeen and Zoe! they saw me and they scream my name, like the good old days. I ask my lil bro to look after my lil sis and when chit chatting with them. we talked a lot liked we never left school. Sharmeen still looks fabulous and still the drama queen we used to know. Zoe looked beautiful too. Oh, how I miss my school days.

I met a lot of my teachers too. they advised me to study hard and make georgian's proud. I definitely will! huhu. I left the school at about 2.30pm after I burned my RM30, but with a big smile on my face and thousands of memories I won't forget.

T-Bowl Concept Restaurant

I've always wanted to share this with u guys. there's this one interesting place called the T-Bowl Concept Restaurant beside GCS in Queensbay Mall, Penang. This restaurant's furniture is all made of toilet bowls and other toilet equipments, i.e. toilet bowls for the chairs, bathtubs for the tables. it's creative on one end but gross on the other. how's the food? I don't know cause it's non-halal. u try and then tell me k? more info here.

baked rice



seafood tomyam

after doing some research on the net, I found that this restaurant follows the concept of Taiwan's modern toilet restaurant which is far more gross cause even the food resembles shit!

pizza !!

we baked our own pizza today! yeay! it's spontaneous. we were buying our grocery stuff in Giant when suddenly I thought of baking our own pizza. so we grab the stuff needed and started baking. it takes only about 15 minutes to make a regular pizza. and it's worth it cause our pizza is really delicious. yum!!

before it got into the oven





done!










yum! satisfied after all the hard work.. huhu..

happy birthday mimie!

Happy Birthday! belated, i mean. my friend Mimie celebrated her 19th birthday on the 25th July. we spend almost 12 hours celebrating her birthday in Ipoh. we depart from UTP at about 11.45am and arrived in Ipoh Parade about 40 min after. as soon as we arrived there, we ate our lunch. I had nasi ayam which is quite okay. i even got myself 2 PS2 games: God of Guitar Hero and Guitar Hero II which will accompany my Guitar Hero III and Guitar Hero Aerosmith. can't wait to play.

we talk, walk, shop and at about 6pm, we went to Jaya Jusco. we ordered pizza and ate Mimie's birthday cake that Ila bought. after eating, again, we did some shopping. then, we went bowling at JJ's rooftop.

my amigos

Mimie had won the game with me being last. LAST?? haha. I had a very nice day. we went back home at about 12 something. thanks everyone for the wonderful time. ::smilling:: by the way, "wani, aku cilok gambaq ang tau.. thanks"

3. Queensbay Mall

and the list goes on....

basically, I'm gonna miss everything. as well as this beautiful island called Penang!

Chasing Harry Winston

I've just bought Chasing Harry Winston. it is the third novel written by bestselling author of The Devil Wears Prada, Lauren Weisberger. this novel had some bad review commenting that this is not one of the best Lauren Weisberger's work. it is said to be a bit similar to Sex and The City. despite all that, I'm still gonna give a try. I'll give my review when I finished reading it.

it's girls day out!

yesterday, mama, yaya and I went out shopping together. we went to Queensbay Mall for our girls day out. abah drop us off at the entrance and we went shopping. I love going shopping with mama. it is sort of like a mother-daughter bonding thing.

she was looking for a shoe to replace her old one. it is the last day of sale, so we really got to make the best of it. after trying a few shoes, she manage to buy one. it is not exactly what she wanted but hey, it's on sale. why not? I managed to get myself a blazer and a slack. mama got herself a skirt.

yaya wanted to buy a watch but the promoter wen't out for dinner. haha. she really had choosen the wrong time. then we went to tns. on our way there, I bumped into my senior, kakfarina.

kakfarina::
"hye! gemuknye!" ("hye! your fat!")

zero::
"nmpk sgt ke?" ("is it really obvious?")

kakfarina:
"agakla. bleh nmpk pipi ampa dari jauh." ("it's quite obvious. I can see your cheeks from far")

arghh!! I'm soooo gonna loose that fat! ::angry:: btw, "kakfarina, thanks for your sincere comment. I really appreciate it". hmmm, how on earth am I going to loose all those love handles and potbelly. since I enter university, I do not have much time for sports. during my school days, I got involved in hockey, squash, police cadet etc.

even though I eat a lot, i still loose a lot doing those activities. but now? I still eat a lot, but I don't exercise much. yes. I don't look that fat compared to others. but compared to the old me? I'm really fat. huh! got to find my running shoes and start running again.
