Good night take care.
A dinner to remember!
I m so happy today. I finally got to meet my Form6 frenz. Its been 4 years since i met them, although not all cud make it, i was happy to see those who came. I felt like i was back in 6 Sc 1 again(sob* sob*).
Well the girls hv becum beautiful women, except for Choon Sin, she looks like a little girl wif her white shirt and baby green top. The boys err.. hv well…manage to remain as boys. Chang Chuan has his primary school “i-hate-girls” attitude intact, towards me at least.
The day was ok. We had sum fun talks mostly about me n CCC, cos we wr from Russia and they all hv not met me for like 4 YEARS!!! I wish i cud describe more but i m feeling very weak.
U guys can look at the pix in my facebook. Bye.
Finally I am babbling
It been almost a week since i am home, n i m bored, really bored. Just the fact that i hv nothing to do, i am like wishing i had a part time job, okla not to that extend but just want sumthing to do. everyday i just stare at facebook n think ”What the hell was i doing wif this thing, that i spent so much time on it while studying?”
I wanna go out shopping, but got no kaki n got no transport, hv to depend on Amma n Appa. Anyway, i wont rely on our public transport system oso cos they r so “excellent” in timing. Therefore stuck at home, like rite now. Haiya, if in russia by now i m either in Real or Mega or Pakrovskaya oredi. Sigh!!!
At least i would hv sum1 to gossip or kutuk wif. My roomate is a clown, so thats one of the best entertainment oredi. My blockmates are, err..well…studious but when it comes to shopping no one can beat them la. I hv travelled wif them n i hv spent nearly 45 minutes to an hour in a shop just for them to buy one bag. I wudnt complain much cos i think i spent almost the same amount of time when i wan sumthing
Ha….those were the days, running behind Kok Meng like anak-anak itik wif our luggage, laptop bags n an extra bag across Europe. Well, TKM no one can beat u in management of a holiday, i wud gladly pay u to plan my future holidays. Thanks for all the wonderful memories, Shari-ann, Nava, 7t, Maisara n of cos TKM.
i think i m going too far ahead from topic liao! see if i can think of anything else to babble later.
The troubles of renewing a passport
On Friday I went to the Imigration Dept to renew my passport, i reached there about 10 o ‘clock and went to take my nombor giliran. When i went there, the guy at the counter said ” Kami tak bagi nombor giliran sekarang, miss. System kami down sekarang.” I asked him how much longer would it take, he smiled and said “I tak taula, miss. Its the system, manala I tau”. Couldn’t blame him for that, he was right anyway. I wasnt annoyed much cos i m on a holiday so i can come anytime, but i remember the look on the other ppl’s faces, MAN THEY WERE PISSED!!!
So I came back the next day(the branch in Damansara is open on saturday n sunday except on public holicays), n guess what?!!!! YEAH, SYSTEM TOO SLOW N SOON DOWN!!! This time I was pissed, yeah. I mean i cum twice, ur parking system is lousy cos u hv four floors reserved for ur kakitangans, n i had to pay twice for that lousy parking, n now u tell me ur system is down! During this time, their service with a smile just makes u wanna punch them.
I hope their service gets better soon. I need to do my passport soon.
Nizhniy-Moscow-Dubai-Malaysia…THE JOURNEY!
Well let me begin wif this, S7 SERVICE SUCKS!!! i almost missed my Emirates flight thanks to these ppl! i reached moscow in the nick of time, n luckily i called the Emi counter n luckily i had enuff credit to call
these words still ring in my head ” u hv 12 minutes, if u dun reach by then u will miss ur flight!” N at that time we were still in S7, in my head i was like “shit, hv to take luggage, hv to find counter, do we hv to go thru imigresen”
when we got of the flight we ran like mad, luckily there was no imigresen to go thru, n our bags arrived first. But then we wr stopped by these 2 women, they asked us for our ticket n we cudn’t find it, n the lady asked “do u hv to catch another flight?” Me n Nava yelled “YES!!!” luckily the ladies wr understanding, n they let us go.
upon reaching the counter, i remember their faces, it was like “tak kuasa aku nak layan org macam ni!” but they helped us anyway. then they made us run. Both me n nava each had a handbag, laptop bag and a hand carry to run wif, n mind u we were on heels. i was like “SHIT, SHIT SHIT!!!! I HOPE I REACH INTO THE FLIGHT!” n just before reaching the gate my legs were like “enuff, enuff rest now” but i cudnt, the gate was insight n i forced myself, n i reached it in time.
Me n Nava were not one of the last but i remember one of the steward asking Nava “had fun shopping?”. FElt like kickin his butt but was too tired for that.
The whole journey after that was fine. Reached home happy n drained n into Appa’s arms.
5 S and 4 C
A few months ago my dad asked me jokingly “So baby, what are u looking for in a guy?” Shocked, I said “Eh?” . He repeated his question again, and added “u know la, u 24 oredi, hv to start looking now.”
I was a bit irritated wif the fact that my dad wanted me to leave the house so soon but answered him anyway. I told him basically all the nilai-nilai murni I learnt in moral. By the way my dad was joking about looking for a guy for me, at least for now he is.
But come to think of it now, the demands are not really realistic, but I guess there are some basic things a girl would want from a guy. First the 5 S’s
ü Sensitive
ü Sensible
ü Sexy
ü Supportive
ü Stable(emotionally and monetarily)
I think this is not too much to ask for is it? Well the “sexy” thing is a bit too much I think, cos not all the guys actually care to look good for their gf’s from what I hv observed. Then I think there is the 4 C’s
ü Charming
ü Caring
ü Charismatic
ü Culturally educated
Having watched a lot of Hindi movies in my head there are so many romantic moments that wish would happen in my life, but I guess a girl can only dream as much. I lately hv been fancy-ing Aamir Khan. Not bcos of his 8-packs but bcos of the way he acted as this businessman, he had all the 5S’s and the 4C’s.
But in real life I dun really think I could get such a guy. *Sigh*
seeking attention
Its been a looooooooooooooooooong time since i put up any post here. it dun matter, i just post wen i am bored, hv no passion for blogging.
this blogging thing is actually sumthin that was a hit in the beginning but now it has faded. Sum ppl do keep their blogs up-to-date wif things happening in their lives. But sum use it as a weapon. I dunno whether it is to get their stats high or wat, they actually meddle into other ppl’s business n write about other ppl. Sumtimes the things they write about dun even concern them. They criticise others up to a level where it seems that they hv been waiting for a chance to lash at others.
Internet is a good thing, but in sum ppls hands it becums so dangerous. Criticism and naming others publicly has become a trend and a way for ppl to release their anger. I do hv bad opinions abut others but i dun write it online i mean ur own frens are reading it too. What would they think about u?
Lately a lot of my frens hv been targets of online criticism. I must say i feel pity for those who wrote all these things about my frenz. It looks as if ppl here are so shallow minded n hv really nasty mouths!
Seriusly, first of all hv sum respect for urself, n DO respect others if u want respect to be given to u. I dun demand respect from ppl, i just want friendship, n i respect every1 until forced otherwise. Anyways Bitching around is fun, until sum1 bitches about u, so i guess every1 will hv their turn.

So tomoro…
Tomoro i will be leaving for my 2nd eurotrip. I m not that excited to leave yet, but this morning i realised that some things are different btwn the last trip n this one. I m much more peaceful n hv bcum frens wif sum ppl, these are the same ppl i wanted to leave behind n say “ADIOS!!!!” during the last trip. This time around things hv changed.
Sumhow to forgive or even to ask for forgiveness from sumone is quite hard, but once its done, u feel relieved.Last year i was so full of anger, this year i am like “Ehh, whatever…U happy, i happy.” Last year was all about “y me?” this year its more like “so what, i will get thru it”
I didnt like to be teased last time, i use to get very angry if anybody teased me repeatedly. I never told or showed it to them of course, alwiz kept it to myself or blew up to the wrong person. This year i realised that they tease me cos of my own sillyness, so its me who has to stop acting stupid. Yet i know ppl will still be teasing me, but ehh…whatever, i m not gonna fight back if i know i was the reason y they r teasing me.
I m a very inquisitive person. I like to ask many question, but of course i hv never asked teachers any question, dunno y though. But to ppl i know i ask many questions, “y ah, how ah, yes ah. then what ah”… Too many, that i guess i irritate sum ppl(probably every1). When ppl show me how irritated they r, it hurts, cos i never thought that askin a q cud make any1 angry, but looks like it does. So now, i TRY not to ask any questions to sum ppl whom i know r easily irritated.
I realised now that talking less, REALLY HELPS. I mean, i m not yelled at, i m not being talked about in front of me like this “I tell u ah, she ah, HAIYO!!!”. I get hurt when ppl say like that, cos to me all i wanted to do was to talk, so now in order not to hurt myself , i m trying to limit the talking.
I hv frens, i do. But now i m 24, i want to hv sum girlpals, whom 10 years from now would still stick wif me, sumthing like “Sex and the city”. SATC is very touching for me in the context of friendship, i hv only watched the movie, n loved it. I hv lost sum ppl whom i thought were my bestfren, sum1 who wud be wif me stick wif me. Now sumhow i hv given up hope in looking for one. i dun care anymore. In order to get such a fren i hv tried pleasing many ppl, but in the end i m not happy n i dun think i ever will find one. N anyways i m afraid of calling any1 my best fren, i dun wanna put my hopes up high just to get it thrown downhill to watch it break to pieces.
I am fussy, but i try to adapt to ppl. I dun believe i m perfect n neither do i believe in perfection. i am trying to be myself n trying to live my life the way i feel it is rite. I wanna be happy as many days as possible, cos life is short. I dun wanna be angry, i dun wanna be sad, i wanna live, i wanna love, i wanna care. being angry at sum1 only makes me feel horrible. sum1 wanna talk behind my back, oh go ahead, i really dun care.
Hopefully when i cum back from this trip, i m a better person.
The one of many sorts
Today is the MS day. So, this morning i had this overwhelming feeling of anger just cause i saw a plastic bag down on the bathroom floor n pail filled wif water which was there for no reason. I threw the bag into the bin, splashed the water to the bathtub then banged the pail. Was relieved a bit, anyways i dun think any of the girls noticed the noise.
I hv oredi finished all my exams and now just waiting to go for my 2nd euro trip to begin. Hv oredi gone for the food shopping, didnt buy lots of noodles this time, dun hv the nice heart to donate food again. This tims my trip is going to be to Germany, Spain and Portugal. M not sure what is there to see there but i want to experience it all.. Oh i forgot one more place, most guys are wondering what am i and 3 other girls are going to do there, well thats just too bad la ha. Well i am going to Amsterdam DUDE!!! HAAAAAHAAAAHAAA!!! Oh last year i went to Moulin Rouge too, my eyes was open wide n was gasping away thru out the whole street. They even had a shop that had a big lighting called “SEX SHOP”, the light was so attractive it still fresh in my mind. A word of caution to myself: No “pantene-ad” shots this year, I WILL NOT BE “NONDI” aka “Dr.House” AGAIN !!!
I hv just finished a “super-magnificent exam” called Hygiene. That exam was the only that made me scream “AAAAAARGGHHHH!!!!!” while banging my head on the table n pulling my hair(i really did it the night before exam). It was such an exam where half way readin the answer to a question u go “y the hell am i reading this? Seriously? y y y y Y Y Y?!!!” Most fall asleep after readin just one question, sum can read two question and the rest of the time r staring at the paper but the mind is elsewhr. This is my proposal : Hygienic requirement for the subject called Hygiene : give it to the first years(at that time any subject seems very important,n we wud probably hv worked harder.)
Talking about hygiene, i better go take my bath now. Buh bye!
