I don't want a lot for Christmas
There is just one thing I need
I don't care about the presents
Underneath the Christmas tree
I just want you for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true, oh baby
All I want for Christmas is you

I don't want a lot for Christmas
There is just one thing I need, and I
Don't care about the presents
Underneath the Christmas tree

I don't need to hang my stocking
There upon the fireplace
Santa Claus won't make me happy
With a toy on Christmas day

I just want you for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true
All I want for Christmas is you

I won't ask for much this Christmas
I won't even wish for snow, and I
I just wanna keep on waiting
Underneath the mistletoe

I won't make a list and send it
To the North Pole for Saint Nick
I won't even stay awake
To hear those magic reindeer click

Cause I just want you here tonight
Holding on to me so tight
What more can I do
Oh, baby all I want for Christmas is you

All the lights are shining
So brightly everywhere
And the sound of childrens'
Laughter fills the air

And everyone is singing
I hear those sleigh bells ringing
Santa won't you bring me
The one I really need
Won't you please bring my baby to me quickly

I don't want a lot for Christmas
This is all I'm asking for
I just wanna see my baby
Standing right outside my door

I just want you for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true
Baby, all I want for Christmas is you

went out again today. this newfound freedom is kinda hard to get used to. well whatever. once i have the sims again, i won't be wanting to get out so much. ate at eastpoint banquet again! haha. and left feeling extremely full again! hah. i love to eat. okay whatever. i have no idea what i really want to do to earn money. i know what i DON'T want. i don't want to sell christmas cards. i don't want to stand around giving out fliers. and i don't want to work every single day. haha.
anyway did u hear, for idol finals we only get an hour to vote! so train those fingers and remember to set aside the 9pm-10pm timeslot to vote for taufik! wow it was really touching when he talked about his mom just now. sigh.
i'm getting poorer and poorer. the money is just slipping through my fingers, i can't hold on to it! yargh. help. i need a job. preferably one tt lets me wake up at 10am and bum around alot. ha. tak exist, obviously.

i realised tt in the excitement of my latest tommy adventure, i forgot to write about burger. after the last paper i started walking back to the locker.. and found myself unwillingly tailgating siam. so i just stared down at my entry proof and kept walking. then batu turned around and saw me, and she steered him away to the side, so i was like, okay good, and i quickly walked down the stairs. at the bottom of the stairs, someone tapped me on the back. and i turned around. and it was burger. and i was vaguely aware of batu standing off to the side, near the bookshop. and he said, "eh, thanks for the card.. selamat hari raya.." so.. yeah.. i have a feeling batu put him up to it, so thanks.. haha. tt does not mean, of cos, tt i am any less unhappy about the siam status.
anyway. yest baba and i went shoe shopping. but first we went to far east to get her contacts. it's quite cheap, i think. 30 bucks for 2 boxes. and it's coloured contacts. but it's biweekly lah. haha. who cares, i always stretch the duration anyway, due to kemiskinan. maybe i should get also.. hm.
i know i'm free and exams are over and i don't have to study and all, but it seems tt all i want to do is sit there at lido and wait for tommy to show up. but you know. it's crazy. and all. so yeah, i'm sitting here safely at home now. instead of being there.
ohyah. i am now going to promote VNC. it's this shoe store in citylink mall. it's amazing. it has a whole range of beautiful shoes tt all appear to be under 50 bucks! i swear. it was voted by december cleo as the coolest affordable shoe shop. or smthg. and they have great service [they don't pester you or hang around you waiting for you to buy smthg, but they're really helpful when you want a certain size or smthg], cool piped music, a 7-day exchange policy, minimalist decor [so you won't knock over stuff with big bags], and did i mention they have the most beautiful shoes?!?!? wow. you wouldn't be satisfied walking out with just one pair in your possession, i swear. there's heels studded with diamantes, this deep purple strappy pair with ankle straps i was salivating for, and nice flats tt i didn't dare look at in case i wanted them too. ooh and the best part is, they have my size!!! i swear. they go all the way up to 10!!! [tt's my size.] it's amazing. most shoe stores have been really inconsiderate to my unique shoe size. so yeah, this was a really great find. anyway i was just looking for prom shoes, so i got this pair of gold diamante-studded heels. two problems with it though: 1. it's really, really, REALLY high! i expect to fall off them any moment. 2. they have a disgusting leopard-print base, otherwise, they really match my outfit. ohwell. i love them anyway.
we ate at eastpoint banquet. dah lama tak makan sana. love it! and then it started raining and wow it's so beautiful when it rains! cos we were sitting under the skylight and everything. oh and we took 9 home [MY home], and there was this cute dreadlocked guy.. woohoo.. and there was also this cute ite guy who looks like tommy. yeah! and at my hse we trawled friendster in search of people, and finally baba doesn't hate samit so much.

Monday, November 22, 2004

heyya! today was a really a day of ups and downs.
the relatively bad econs papers.
but then the realisation tt studying is over for the next 3 months hit me.
then we went to tekka [me and the jj girls] and ate and walked around. quite fun, but tiring cos my bag was just killing me.
ooh and we went to pray at the surau and harun was there! i was ignoring him at first cos i thot he was calling someone else. haha. cute cousin/sister. she was reading a readers' digest condensed book.
then fana and i stoned at lido. it was annoying cos freaky kept walking around, so i used my suratkhabars to shield my face. and then dil came. cis. lain yang diminta, lain yang datang.
after stoning we went to ambik those neoprint cards at far east, then rushed to PS. and then fana dropped her watch on the ledge. on the 7th floor. urgh, rite? we hadta borrow this guy's payung and everything to reel it back in. ohyeah and i realised i forgot my orange bands after asar at the surau. so when baba came we decided to go back, and eat at jon's salon skali.
we went to starbucks first cos baba wanted a drink. and i was up for another chance of seeing tommy. and guess what! he was there! he was waiting at the side, talking to se-lim. and dil was working the counter. so i like, walked far far away and waited there alone while baba bought her drink [from some other girl. well, at least si dil sedar diri sikit.]. and woohoo, when i glanced at tommy, he smiled and waved at me! in the middle of his conversation with se-lim! ohwow. i was just woohooed. and then while we were waiting for baba's drink, he like, came up to me! oh wow. and he was like, "how ur exams? dahbis kan?" and i sed, "yah, it was really bad.." and he was like.. ok wait this will be really boring rite, so i'll just end it here. but yeah, suffice to say tt it really made my day. =D
ooh and bride and prejudice was awesome! namrata's really pretty.. and it's all just so nice and everything, and colourful [of course] and singsongy and dancy. my favourite has got to be the first dance scene, at the wedding party. wow. cool sey.

Sunday, November 21, 2004

interesting tidbit of the day: kak pipit came over just now and she came into my room, and checked out the photos. she saw the only one of me with a guy, and she was like, "oh ni bf ain eh? handsome.. muker peranakan.." hahaha. btw, it's ex-fren.
wow. it was really a sore throat!!! it even developed further, thanks to my pure kepandaian of drinking lime juice. i was totally dying in the cinema.
yeah, the cinema. i got home yest to a whole horde of guests! memalukan sey. haha. and it wasn't just our guests, it was also the rumah kat depan!!! the guests there just kept staring at me, like, whatever man! haha. yah anyway then my sister asked if i wanted to watch the incredibles, kumara was coming in 10 minutes. so i sed okay. wow. i SO did not regret it. it was great. but we got in late so we missed the first short feature, but there was another one with a cute white sheep and this new animal on the block, called a jackalope. nice. the movie itself was great, all funny and colourful and action-packed. we watched it in this heeeuuuggee shaw towers theatre. the seats went up to Z, and then some. sorry aku jakun. haha. anyway kumara was like asking my sister what her favourite power was, and she took so bloody long to decide! mine, obviously, is violet's. how useful sey, espesh the invisibility bit. oh but i like jackjack the most. he's so cute! and the girlfriend of the bad guy, whatever his name is. she's pretty and has a nice heart. haha.
anyway today people just kept coming to our house! so we diden go to cik noliah's after all. pity. i could have gone to j8 to see taufik then. bodoh. pak busu came, and as usual, his anaks are sooooooo lawar!!! all skinny and fair.. and firdaus is reaaaallly handsome. the youngest one is the cutest [duh]. he has mangkuk hair [in the style of burger, circa 1999-2000], he's chubby and round-faced, and he has such a cute smile!!!
tt shd be it, i guess. i can't believe tmr's the last day i'll be wearing my skl uniform. *A* skl uniform, in fact. EVER. oh tt's really sad! think about it.

Saturday, November 20, 2004

yoooooooooooooooooooo...!
wow okay today tommy came at around 4.. so we like, went to buy stuff frm him.. baba hung back as usual, haha. anyway so he sed hi, and he sed, "thanks for the card.." and i sed smthg stupid like, "oh, haha.. yah." wow. how eloquent, ain. and after i ordered i sed, "so tak jalan raye?" and he sed, "tak boleh jalan ah.. kene kerje.. anyway i have no one to jalan with.." wow i was THIS close to asking him to like jalan raya! but u noe, wat a stupid thing to say rite, so i didn't. haha. god he's cute..
after tt we rushed all the way to tampines to catch taufik. we had to stand in the middle of pushing sweating peeps for like a billion abads. finally they came!!! and i joined in the screaming with gusto! it was quite embarrassing acherli, cos there were tv cameras filming us.. haha. so i kept my cap down low--i dun want to see my screaming face on the dec 1 telecast ke aper sey. haha. yah so we screamed, "TAUFIK! TAUFIK!" and he waved, and flashed the victory sign!!! so we balased. haha. there was basically alot of screaming.. i saw him like, blow a kiss! omg. at one point i was like, "taufik we love you!!!" haha and the girl infront of me [who was taking his photos with her digicam] turned around and laughed. taufik camaraderie, it's so great. [i refuse to talk about the sly fans. haha.] i'm just hooked now. i can't believe i've turned into a screaming groupie, but it's so funnn!!! next time i'll bring a digicam. yayy. he looked so good, he was wearing a cap, a blazer, a green tshirt and pants. warhhh.. and he was just so friendly and wow. anyway i can feel a sore throat coming.. haha. too much screaming. takper. it was HOW worth it.
oh there was a cute guy in the train. at first i started insulting him cos his baju kurung looked like PJs. firstly, they're the collarless kind. secondly, they're purple-blue, and vertically striped! finally i realised he was quite cute acherli. although baba claims he's 42. HE'S NOT.
oooh i saw hichael too, at orchard mrt. his hair is starting to grow back, he looks as great as ever. woohoo. k bye.

Friday, November 19, 2004

my dad got tickets for the polar express from star movies' opening night. this is like, oh, i dunno, the third time? i dunno how he does it. but i'm not complaining or anything. ha. i'm prolly going with my brother.. acherli i wasn't planning to watch it in the first place. i thot it looked like a dumb pointless movie. but yu don't pass up a freebie, do u? haha. looks like it'll be a busy day monday.
the only great thing tt happened today was seeing samit in the bus. woohoo! haha. he still uses the student's ezlink, cool. a shared similarity between us. okay whatever.
the good thing about chem I was tt i could finish it in time, with like a scant 2 minutes to check. the bad thing was tt it had alotta odd qns ah. tak suker sey. u noe the last one? wassup with tt man?
10 minutes to idol. wad else.. can't wait for all this to be over man. i have a couple of weeks till grad nite, then another couple of weeks till perth, 2 weeks in perth and back to the chalet. sounds like fun, in theory anyway. i can't help but think of tt article from sum gp about the planning of an event always being more fun than the event itself. [acherli it was about planning of a trip, but i think the theory applies to everything.]
ow i just slammed my knuckle against the table. yet another red mark to add to the billions on my body of late. no thanks to the mozzies. well. i'm out. can't touch this.

Thursday, November 18, 2004

ugh. i'm feeling uncomfortably sick. u know, not the stay-in-bed-all-day type but the kind where you can walk and talk and do normal stuff, it's just that you feel icky and yucks and you wanna crawl in bed and stay there till u get better. sum kinda gritty sore throat. woke up with it. so i decided not to go lido after all. if i'm going to stake out lido all my life for tommy, it'll have to start next week.
mok came over just now. wow her anak is so cute! he's like, i dunno, 5, i guess.. and really lawar. polite and stuff.. but a real crybaby.. he was like, "ibu ibu!" and bawling when she was like in the next room. quite funny. anyway i wonder what's the story with her, i'll ask my mom later when she gets back.
my brother's having his chalet today. and my sister's at camp or sum similar shit so i'll be a pseudo-only child tonight. haha. whatever. anyway i might as well take this opportunity to mention MY chalet. it's baba's and my birthday chalet, on Boxing Day, at aloha loyang. that's in the outskirts of pasir ris, btw. ha. good for me. anyway yeah close friends of ours, u're all invited, so give me a ring yea?
speaking of my brother, he got his electric guitar rupernyer. yest. haha. and yest evening cik noliah came, so cik napi was like, teaching him to play or sum shit. btw nadiy is heeeuuuggeee! he's like how tall! my house seems THAT much smaller when he's around. haha. he's like 1.5 heads taller than his mom, which is really saying something. especially since he was around her height about 2 years ago. so tt means he shot up even more between the ages of 16 and 18. wow. anyway now i really have to think about what to give my brother. it seems i've given him everything there is to give, except for bajus, and i don't really want to cos tt means i'll have to consider size issues.
i guess i should study soon, but i just can't bring myself to do it. maybe i should just chiong tmr at dawn or sum shit. haha. ohyeah can i just warn all rj ppl to stay away from the frickin' bamboo garden? in fact don't even go within 2 metres of it. we were standing at the concourse, waiting for maths to start, and suddenly "everyone started biting me". everyone=every mozzie alive. buggers. now i have like at least 10 bites bordering my paras muka, as well as about 19 more peppering my arms and legs. there's one at the base of my palm, and one right on my knuckle! what is this? sweet blood syndrome? i've been a mozzie magnet for as long as i can rem. this is horrible. if i contract sum mozzie-spread disease, please visit me yea?
ohyah i was so happy when otelli read my msg yest! she'd just opened the show, and she was asking for requests so i decided to throw away 30 cents and send her smthg. and the last song in nonstop hits was my boo, which i'd requested. and after tt she was like, "that was my boo, going out specially to no-rain, who needs some inspiration so she can study for her econs later.. and she wants to say hi to baba, fana and tommy.." woohoo! cool sia. i mean, no one heard it except me, but still. haha.

Wednesday, November 17, 2004

Monday, November 15, 2004

so i finally ikuted them. but it was a heeeeuuuugggee mistake. i felt like i was a fish flopping about on the dry tiled floors. they kept shunting me from car to car cos we don't have our own, and for some reason, my parents and my brother had to stay as one unit. after the third house i couldn't take it and i walked away. [to the bus stop. i took 12 home.] remind me never to do that again. "that" being jalaning raya with my dad's side of the family. until i can drive. ha. which will be never. either i can never learn to drive, or if i do, and i have a car, i'll prolly be off somewhere else. so there. here i was trying to be un-antisocial for once. diden work.
i just took like a billion tests at tickle. haha. takder kerje. i'm gonna go sleep now lah. since i'm home early and all and since that 70s show has been preempted for the billionth screening of the AMA04.
oh wait. i've been neglecting to mention the freakhole who called me at 815 in the morning on friday. eeeyer. it was a private number so i thot it was baba and i picked it up. and he sed, "hi." for one wild moment i thot it was tommy. haha. anyway he turned out to be sum 20-plus freak kalled jonathan, who's sum kinda programmer, and diden back off when i sed i was a student, and not even when i sed i was malay! i was mouthing frantically at my calendar to help me, but duh. haha. apparently he's eurasian, his dad's portugese and his mom's manjen, and he kept asserting that he takes after his dad more. wow. could i care less? finally he hung up, when i insisted i was late for a paper that wld start at 11. haha. ohyeah he sed he got my number thru fastalk chatline!!! wtf? that is such a lie. he sed "maybe we can talk again soon.." so fyi, i'll be rejecting all calls from unknown numbers. be warned. haha. who cares, rite?
ohyeah in the midst of tt, terluper nak wish. selamat hari raye, all! and thanks for all ur wishes! i even got one from jonchen haha!
YO!!! i'm back on familiar territory!!! excellent! my mom let me stay home today instead of jalaning.. but now i'm thinking tt maybe i shd go anyway. cos i won't be going anymore ever. well, sort of. you know what i mean.
anyway i swear, yest was great. somehow they dispensed with the fat cracks and the "muker masam" comments this year, it was excellent! haha. maybe cos we took a diff route this year. we went to mak ngah's hse in cck first instead of mak's. so like we diden meet anyone until nek hawa's hse. but that was like a family with 3 dyed-blonde mat brothers. takyah ah. den at nek andak's house there was like a billion people, cos she acherli has kids, who have kids themselves.. so there was one cute guy there.. sitting on the floor on my right. woohoo! haha. but u know, i had to like pretend to watch the disgusting show on suria. whatever. it's not even funny! it's so merepek sial. baghban was much better. i love salman khan. haha. but it's so annoying, my mom keeps suaning me abt liking hindi films.. fdudwbhjgb! anyway, then as we left nek ngah's hse, my right sandal split! my sister diden wanna take me home, so i had to grit my teeth and bear it. skali at mak's hse, the other sandal split! so after they finished eating, i went home barefoot with my sister [naseb baik ader krete], and ate dinner since dah terlanjur kat rumah. haha. anyway the walking barefoot was a real experience, i must say. u know, gritty carpark floors and stuff.
well. i hadta chuck my sandals into the carpark trash can. goodbye, my beloved sandals. they were really nice. classic [black], fun [ankle strap], stable [platform], and basically everything! i'm really sad. i mean, besides the loss, now i hafta buy a new pair for 5 dec. buang duit sey..
yest my sister was ranting abt how my mom hates kumara. kesian. then she asked me if one of my criteria is tt the guy is muslim. ha. if she only knew.

Sunday, November 14, 2004

Takleh tahan sey. It was an okay day until my sandals split! My platform sandals! My only dress sandals! So now i hafta buy new sandals for grad nite. Dammit. On a more cheerful note, there was ONE cute guy. At rumah nek andak. Tall, dark, cute n wearg black w matchg samping. N tt's been it so far.

Saturday, November 13, 2004

i did another chore today--i isi-ed ketupats! haha. i haven't been doing anything, and i mean anything, to help out this ramadhan. except for changing my bedsheets. but tt's it. so. yeah. i feel slightly redeemed. haha.

Friday, November 12, 2004

rakan-rakanku! sahabatku sekalian! kekasih-kekasih, dsb..! WASSUPPPPPP!?!?!?
yes i'm deranged. out of my mind. demented. tak siuman. crazy/beautiful. haha told yu i was nuts.
to get technicalities out of the way, today's MTP count was a whopping 13 muslimins! -tsk- aper nak jadi ngan korang..? gi balek gantung langsir saner daa..
okay then the main event for today. ishy's baaaaaaaccccccccckkkkkk!!! i was how dying. he spent some time being reprimanded [i think] then he went to work. that was around 5-ish. i'd told baba last night that i'd buy her a drink if he was working. so i did. we went to the counter, and i was just him and dil. and i sed hey to him and bought baba's drink and a muffin for my brother. [yes. this way i get to have contact with ishy but not get fat. haha.] and he was like, "wah u guys rajin sey.. every day blajar.." and i replied candidly, "haha bukannyer boleh blajar.. banyak distractions.." foot in mouth much, ain? i didn't mean him, really! i was just commenting in general.. he also sed, "so exams dahbis?" and i was like, "no.. lagi 2 weeks.. 22nd last paper.." heh. okay so we were waiting for our stuff. and tt idiot dil asked us, "do u want to heat up the muffin?" and kiter pekak so he repeated really patronizingly, "muffin nak panaskan?" eleh! aku tembak baru tau. menyebok je. orang nak berbual ngan tommy, dier menyemak kat sini. so i waited far far away. kay, so finally dahbis and we sat back down. and this guy came up to us and asked to interview us for sum thingy about local movies on central. [he's quite cute btw. he's ard our age, he's interning at central, he sed he's in ite now.] so we got interviewed. btw i looked and sounded stupid, so if my face ever terkeluar, siler ignore. oh we saw camilla, from nickelodeon? cool. she's much taller in real life. i didn't know she lives in Singapore. after that we sat back down and i succumbed to baba's pleas and wrote a hari raya card for tommy. she had 2 extra comic rayer cards. so we wrote one for ivan in the morning. and she n fana were persuading me since morning to write the other one for tommy, but i refused. but baba took the envelope and wrote ISHMAEL on it in font size 93787582! so. yeah. in the end i just wrote sum crap about how we had an extra card, selamat hari raya and nice knowing you.. haha. lame much, ain? and then we packed up and detoured by way of starbucks so i cld pass it to him. baba was considerately a mile behind me. tommy was at the other end so i had to pass the rest first and dil menyebok lagie!!! he called out, "BYE!" eeee. malas aku nak toleh. eksyen nyer dolmat, aku tak suker kaulah! i went rite to the corner where tommy was and i thrust the card at him and sed, "selamat hari rayer.." and gave this really stupid grin. and he was all shocked and like, "oh.. for me?" omg. could you be any cuter? i left in a hurry. but baba sed that he sed thanks and he was flapping the card at dil. ha. in your face, dil! [in all senses of the phrase.] so. i wonder what's gonna happen next. will he take another week to appear? we will wait and see.
we went to buker at jon's salon sebab tak serik, tapi it was closed to we reserved seats at cahaya. 2 police lumpurs came right after us, and one of them was HOW hot. so i was like, "baba dier comel!" and baba was like, "muker dier cam samit.." and i was like, "EXACTLY!" haha. so i was like, "please let samit-lookalike sit near us.." and guess what, he did! he sat rite next to me. omg. i swear. it was like so close i had to like, hunch up so i wldn't keep brushing against him. omg. how. hot. and we were talking about taufik at one point and they KNOW taufik! excellent! haha. yes. nice dining experience, tt was.
anyway we took the lift down. i was eating my listerine. baba was eating her vit C. this group of minahs and mat [singular] came in. and after a few seconds the nearest minah was like, "bau aper tu?" and i instantly terase.. but she wasn't facing me so i stuck out my tongue for irony. at tt exact moment the mat turned! and he was like, "org makan gula-gula ah.." i quickly put my tongue back in, and when the minah turned, all she saw was baba sucking on her sweet. haha. and the grp burst out laughing and sed, "sorry eh, kiter giler sikit.." and i was like, "takper.." and the mat was like, "ah takper.. nombor boleh?" wah. sempat sey.
yes and tt's wat happened today, and as a result i couldn't stop going nuts and plus taufik's in and he looked so adorable tonite in that baju!!!
had a boring deepavali. diden even set foot outside the house! haha but my sister went for dinner with kumara and she asked me, "do u have anything indian-y to wear?" ha. she hasn't borrowed my stuff in a long time, so it's nice to even up the odds.
i watched mission kashmir on channel i. woohoo! congrats to channel i for showing tt, in addition to lagaan. that's definitely more than central was showing. and of cos, i love hrithik. plus he was muslim in the movie. even more excellent! and bollywood/hollywood on channel 5. i thot it was boring at first, but his little brother, govind, is really cute! wow.
i got cheated by stupid idol sia! they sent a total of 3 confirmation msgs for each vote, and so i decided to maybe d/l the wallpaper. while the page was loading, they sent ANOTHER msg, saying "your d/l is complete. SGD3.oo will be charged to your phone bill." i was like, omg! 3 bucks! plus i couldn't even d/l it in the end! God i feel so bad. [cos i dun pay the bills.] okay. i'll pay my dad the 3 bucks back. waddehell rite. i should have known better than to trust an auto-sms number that smses in broken manjen-accented english. so anyway. this is my warning to all. unless korang makan tak habis, don't do anything more than vote for taufik. haha.

Wednesday, November 10, 2004

ha. i know what my brother wants for his birthday. an electric guitar! or course, since those are in the incredibly reasonable price range of $2000-$9000, i won't be getting one for him for the next 10 years or so.
yea i went out with my brother just now, for the first time in a long time. haha. the last time was when we went to watch monsters inc at TM. tt was pretty long ago rite? i think.. in sec 3? or whatever. anyway this morning i got this sms from perfect 10 tt sed i won a pair of free tickets to the shutter tonite. so i was like, "wow nothing like advance warning!" and proceeded to sms a billion people to ask if they cld come along. sumer takleh. and btw, i dun even know how i won those tickets cos i don't recall entering a movie contest on p10 at all! i entered this cellular contest on tvmobile ah, but tt's it. and i haven't smsed p10 in how long. well. whatever. rezeki jgn ditolak. so i msged my brother, who accepted graciously. haha. there were 2 lumpurs watching also. kental sey. i was listening to the radio in the theatre and when dah azan, i started eating, tapi dorang tak caya!!! kena telefon org konon.. well, at least dorang puasa in the first place. haha. anyway the movie was really cool and freaky. the only problem is that both zul and i are penakuts, so whenever the freaky music came on, we closed our eyes, and when people screamed, we'd ask each other, "aper? aper?" but neither of us knew what was happening. haha. at least when we watch stuff with our mom she keeps her eyes open so she kan tell us what's happening. anyway yeah. freaky movie. i think it's cos it's so realistic.. as in the cinematography is such tt it doesn't look like a movie, it just looks so much more real. you could see like every pore on their faces. haha. sorry. but it was just so noticeable!
as usual, ishy takder. hai. kau tanak kawan ngan aku eh ishy? takperlah aku tak blame kau. at least si samit ader.
ohyeah. the MTP [Muslimin Tak Puase, MYTMIPH is too long!] Hunt was put on hold cos i never spotted more than 2 a day. but it has since been revived by the five 30-pluses at the outdoor mac's, and the four slightly-muda-er lumpurs at the same place, 3 hours later. haha. that makes 9. but seriously, i see a decline in the number of MTPs. good for u, peeps!
oh and whoever's hindu and reading this, happy deepavali. i was sooooo tempted to drag my brother to little india to soak up the festivities [yarrite, more like the viks!], tapi tak jadie since kiter kesian buker nachos je. haha.

maths was okay i think. i finished early again. really unnerving. but whateverlah. so i was like so bored, with 25 minutes to go. so i started writing to whoever on my qn paper. i mean, i'm not gonna be collecting it, and they'll be distributing it rite. so yah i wrote sum nonsense about ishy and how i like maths cos it's so straightforward, and signed it off as "love, ain". haha. plus there are comments about the questions all over. my fav was the one in response to the discriminant question. i didn't get it at first so i wrote: "tak faham sial!" haha. later i got it, so i drew an arrow and wrote "woohoo!" haha. funnn.
the invigilators are so odd and funny. tt old man really looks like a cartoon character. and the chief invigilator thinks she's so funny. not to dispute tt thought or anything. cos everytime she scolds "young man, please button up!" i feel like laughing cos i'm expecting someone to break out into a rendition of YMCA. haha. well it'll be about a week till i hafta see her again, thank God.
nothing happened ah today. i handed out my homemade cards. haha. they were quite a hit, surprisingly. even though they look like they're made by a primary skl kid. well. i was never any great shakes at art. but u know what, i had such fun making them! haha. i used to think superglue was toxic and tt my skin would come off if it came in contact with it. well i all but bathed my fingers in superglue yest, and they're as good as new! haha. i have 2 more to make today. oh and i passed burger's card to ivan to pass to him, cos i couldn't find him and i diden wanna waste time/energy/face looking for him. unfortunately, since i wrote his name in font size 8327836 on the envelope, i think everyone saw anyway. and i think i hurt ivan's feelings cos i had nothing for him. argh i feel bad. how cld i forget him? well. i'm really sorry, dear ivan.
i found a new interest. or, to put it more accurately, i discovered a new sub-interest today. itik taik enak lumpurs! woohoo! haha. k whatever.

Monday, November 08, 2004

chem. -makes a face-
nothing much happened today, i think. ishy wasn't working today. dil was tho. haha. baba and i were bored so we wrote on these new mr. incredible postcards. she was complaining about dil; i was writing to ishy in malay. haha. then we stuck the cards in the flowerpot and left. and we studied too, obviously.
and i bought MORE useless nothings! we were at popular getting a card for a special someone. then baba wandered off, so i got 50g of paper and envelopes, and a $3 book for elna. haha. then at the counter they had the champion pictorial books. fana was practically salivating, so i grabbed one at the last minute. for record purposes, it was 10 bucks. haha. the chenfeng guy IS cute, but you know, i don't like him THAT much. so now i haf like 50 cents. wow. seriously. i could prolly finish 1000 bucks in a day.

Sunday, November 07, 2004

this won't be long cos i really haven't touched chem since friday, and i really should right since i plan to sleep early tonight?
mm my mom is roasting chicken and potatoes, plus she made my absolute favourite food in the whole world, sardine rolls! omg. i'm sorry, God, but the smell is just sneaking into my nostrils! hahah.
i caught the music video of car wash yest night. is it just me, or is christina trying to look like marilyn monroe? and i was totally laughing when they showed the fish rapping. i know the characters are supposed to look like their voices, but this fish looks EXACTLY like missy elliot! i thot it was SO funny.
i can't believe ramadhan will be over soon. firstly, i don't feel like i've been puasaing for 2 weeks [technically] either. secondly, this means hari raya will be here. yargh. tak suker sey. relatives telling me how fat i am, me feeling antisocial and grumpy, relatives telling me how masam my muker is, relatives telling me how tall i am, etc. thirdly, it DOES mean that i can acherli go buy smthg from starbucks in the daytime. fourthly, it means i'll be officially broke again, as i start to use my 7 bucks/day for food, instead of hoarding it to buy useless nothings like the mrs. kutcher bag. haha. fifthly, it signals the halfway mark of 'A' levels, which to me is as freaky as the beginning. oh and yeah it also means i'll DEFINITELY start getting fat again. actually i'm pretty sure i'll be able to find more gripes, but let's just end it here.
should i get a haircut? but then i'll lose my curls. they're still kekal-ing along the last 4 inches of my hair or so. and it'll be quite sad to lose them forever, since they did cost about 200 bucks or so.

Saturday, November 06, 2004

wow i can't believe people acherli plowed thru my lengthy account of talking to ishmael. haha. just to clarify things, i'm not brave! during buka yest baba was like, "you should be on true courage, ain!" haha. i don't think they feature THAT kind of courage. anyway i do stupid things like tt all the time. like asking hazrulnizam/rahman/adil/not-forgetting-OM for a photo, saying "are you indra sahdan?" to him at jon's salon, in front of his other frens, etc. so. yes. this was just another thing, i suppose. but it was the scariest yet. haha. i mean, the OM one was under the cover of the night. haha. whatever lah.
speaking of jon's salon, BOYCOTT IT. baba and i went the 2 days ago and asked to reserve 3 seats for buka. and the girl was like, "OK." she diden write it down, she diden even move except for her lips. and i was like, "gitu je?" and she sed, "nak order skarang? besok boleh order.." so we left ah. and yest when we went there, it was just packed. like waddehell rite. so. don't. go. there. ever again.
i went to TM just now to visit the new times bookstore. they're having a 15% off sale. and so i finally got can you keep a secret? woohoo! i was sorely tempted to get like, shopaholic and sister and shopaholic abroad, but i'd brought only 20 bucks to prevent me from doing just that. haha. anyway, boring sey. i diden see a single cute guy. or anyone i knew, for tt matter. and it was just so hot and everything, the streets near my hse were like empty. what a dead saturday. but i used my mrs. kutcher bag for the first time. it was such a cool experience! haha. anyway, having spent a total of $84 in less than a week on non-food items, i will FORCE myself to keep my inner shopaholic subdued. i mean, tt's more than twice my weekly allowance, so it doesn't make sense. all the way till next year, i hope. haha.

Friday, November 05, 2004

ha. my brother loves me now. i bought him 100g of dendeng. the smelly, meaty things. haha. tak suker sey. next time i'll buy him half a kilo. cos he expressed regret at the kekurangan of dendeng.
God what a crush at geylang! my legs are totally crying for mercy. but lotsa lumpurs. i love lumpurs. they're so crappy and half of them are cute. haha. i counted at least 3 ppl who sang/shouted/called out "RAFFLES!" hai. what IS the appeal in doing tt? in the end i turned and hissed, "BIS!" haha. i think they thot i was nuts. well. apaper lah. there was this stall with von dutch tops, bags and caps. i was going crazy like never before. too bad kiter miskin eh? and lotsa indian tops and baju punjabis. not as nice as at tekka, but still!

anyway the highlight of the day is that i talked to tommy! wahoo! [btw this will actually be quite boring if you don't follow my cute-guy adventures. so. you've been warned.] okay, so samit wasn't in the bus today. quite a disappointment ah. takper. i got my straits times as usual and it kept me busy at least. [oh for that i'd like to thank baba's tutor who told her "reading the papers is a luxury" and baba for telling me tt.] okay, so sampai lido. i sat down at my usual table, facing the starbucks, but didn't glance there cos i diden expect him to be there at all. but halfway thru home i decided to look up and there he was! i was HOW dying. it was about 1015 then. okay, so i finished reading the papers. at around 1030 he was COMPLETELY ALONE, with no customers or coworkers. i stared at my maths stuff while debating with myself. should i go up and ask his name? or should i wait till i'm leaving so i won't malu? what do i say? what if he thinks i'm going to buy smthg? what if he ignores me? what if he doesn't tell me? what if his coworkers suddenly come back? stupid arguments and merepek scripts were just playing catching in my head. 30 minutes later i made up my mind. he was alone. unprotected. the nearest ppl were not tt near to him. so i got up. there's no turning back now, ain. i deliberately left my wallet on the table and walked there empty-handed. unfortunately, he like, saw me approaching. so he smiled. and i had to smile back. but i still had about 2.5 metres left to cover. finally i reached the counter.
"hi, i'm not buying anything, but i just wanted to know your name?" something along those lines.
"oh, i'm ishmael. you always come here right?" wow. rupernyer HE'S ishmael, not dil. bagos!
"ya.. haha."
"so what's your name?"
"ain.."
"so what school are you from?"
"oh, rj.." i was getting comfortable now, we were just talking at the counter at an otherwise-normal 11th hour of a friday.
"RJ? RJC?" [i nodded.] "eh sial ah!" he laughs.
"then you? what skl?"
"oh, i'm not schooling. i failed my 'O's, so i went to ite, but i dropped out.." ah. enlightenment.
"so you're just working now?"
"i'm waiting to take a [some media-related studies course or other].."
"oh.." actually i never expected the conversation to last this long. i thot at best he'd tell me his name and maybe ask for mine, then i'd go back to my seat.
"your friends not coming?"
"oh, no, they have a paper today.."
"oh, you have no paper?"
"no, it's malay ah.."
"oh u don't take malay?"
"tak.."
"oh, melayu eh?"
"yah, duh! haha!" he laughs and explains that he diden know i was malay.
"so what paper issit?"
"malay A.."
"malay 'A'? you taking 'A's? you're in final year?" [i nod.] "eh, sial ah!" haha. he's so cute!
"are you working the whole day today?"
"no lah.. i'm leaving at 4.." DARN!
"oh okay.. well.. bye!" and i walk away. shaking. i swear. my hands are like trembling as i pick up my pencil and attempt to refocus. and guess what? he comes over to my table.
"can i get you anything? a drink or something?"
"tak ah, puase ah.."
"oh, haha okay.." and he walks away. why. does. he. have to be so cute and nice?
haha. my brother is playing the guitar with his cap on. so rupernyer baba's not the only giler one. i hope he buys a nicer cap soon so i kan borrow it.
yest after we talked to tommy, baba and i were still brimming over with excitement and pent-up energy. so we like, walked all the way to the other side of lido and started screaming. the people there thot we were nuts, obviously. but wow. we were just so happy he was finally back, and acherli remembered us even though it was only the 3rd time! so once again, WOOHOO!
i woke up this morning feeling extremely sleepy. couldn't open my eyes, i swear. it's not like i slept THAT late. i went in right after the OC. so. it's a mystery. i blame the ciner mampos right infront of my block. normally i wouldn't be so bothered. but apparently the deceased concerned here is of the religion where you make loads of noise with tins masquerading as instruments. for oh, i dunno, 5 days? no make that nights. they start the "music" in the evenings. like around 5-ish. kesian sey i couldn't even hear them talking on the OC. kesian me, of cos. and everyone else within a 1km radius. may we all be able to sleep soon.

Thursday, November 04, 2004

today was GP. dah. that's all i'm gonna say. ohyeah and i did the fantasy stories question. dah.
the big news of the day is that tommy is baaaaack! haha. we were feeling lethargic as usual, and even more so due to abovementioned event. so i was just leaning against the wall, reading the thermodynamics option booklet. when he like, bounced in, with a yellow brolly and nothing else! ah. kiut. okay, so he didn't bounce in. but he did look fresh and breezy despite the downpour outside. haha. musta been the yellow. anyway, so we were dying to get a closer look at him. we waited until he was alone, and we went there so tt baba could buy a muffin. now get this. he smiled at us and said, "you guys usually hang out here right?" OMG. we were SO dying. billions of responses popped up in my head. among them: "yah, and you haven't been here for 5 days!" ; "so what's your name?" ; "are you working tomorrow?" in the end, what came out was a feeble "yah". baba was suffering from her unique it's-so-funny-i-can't-stop-laughing-long-enough-to-tell-you-about-it disease, so SHE couldn't ask his name either. he was really nice! damn! and i wanted to go back and get a cheesecake but by tt time he was on coffee-making duty so tak jadilah. wow he's just so cute and nice! please be working tmr, tommy!!!
speaking of cute baby-looking ppl, there was this cute little baby boy in the train. around a year old, maybe. he started like, grabbing my fingers! awwwww. comelnyer. i'm not good with babies acherli, they usually hate me.. so i was really really happy tt this one liked me! but i didn't know what to do, so i just smiled lots and waved and stuck out individual fingers for him to grab. then i moved to the pane next to him and put my hand on the other side of the pane a la the cermin scene in do re mi. haha. shit he was so cute and he really brightened my day even more! he's like the first baby who ever liked me. so thanks, baby boy, for liking me..
oh the MYTMIPH [refer to previous entry] count for today: 6. in particular this SIA pakcik who sat right in my line of vision and heard me talk about my hunt, stared at me, then left with his tea/coffee half-finished. haha. feeling guilty eh cik?
taufik was great today as usual. i put in my 2 votes. and i caught wade after tt. he is soooooo hebat! today's choreography was just great man.. i swear, he's like so sexy and handsome and hot! everyone's welcome to love him as much as i do!
almost forgot. i bought 2 new tops at the fila sale at shaw house. woohoo! i think i tapped into my brother's birthday money or my rayer money. but i couldn't resist! they were so nice, casual and just the right size. when we went there i had NO idea i was gonna be buying anything. but wow. i love them!!! can't wait to wear them! but i hope this doesn't mean that i'm turning into a shopaholic. i mean, this comes barely 2 days after the $43 kutcher bag from forever 21. haha.
baba wants to buy a deepavali card for me to pass to someone. guess who. !!!

Wednesday, November 03, 2004

yo. i won't have time to blog tmr so i gotta get my fix today. but i hafta make it fast.
the muslimin yang tidak menjalankan ibadah puasa hunt continues. btw a clarification: yest the count was 10. i missed out a group of eating mats. haha. today's count is 2 ajer. i dunno, maybe it's the rain. haha. wonder what the record will be! this is so exciting! haha.
oooh more samit this morning. he hadta brush past me cos i was standing in the aisle and he was trying to get out, and i couldn't move. COULDN'T not WOULDN'T. haha. so he had to squeeze past. fun! he's about a head taller than me.. and he has such nice long lashes!
and tt's the new thing i learnt today.
as of now, the final results still aren't in. i vote kerry. but it looks like it's bush.
check out phuture london. they have a whole range of indian-inspired dresses and tops. really nice. but one dress costs like 299 bucks or whatever. heLLO! mine was 150 and THAT came with lots and lots of kain! haha.
takder org bes ah niari. wonder what happened to tommy. we feel really lethargic and tak bersemangat without him. oh and the girls were handing out free samples of the toffee nut latte [i think] and sum biscuits. too bad kiter puasa. kalau tak, dah lamer kiter kebas.
some people are just so GAY. it's annoying.
anyway.
yest was another cool day in which i got to see samit. woohoo! but i terlanggared him with my bag again, NOT on purpose. sorry man.. haha.
my brother now has a trucker cap. haha. so i cld borrow it if i wanted to. except it's a camouflage print. sorry, tak interested. i realise our styles are appearing more and more similar by the day. first the skater shoes, now this.. and i wonder what's next.
OM reminds me of jughead [jones. duh, how many jugheads are there in this world?]. he's kurus and handsome and unique, plus he's none too interested in girls. i hope that doesn't make me big ethel though. hahaha.
that stupid rizal guy was at lido yest! studying for a change. but eating as usual. whatever, man. acherli, i think i saw a total of 7 eating guys yest. i really don't get it. aren't they scared? it's like so obviously dosa. i mean, if you don't pray, it's dosa too, but other people can't really tell if you don't pray. but puasaing.. well, it's just so obvious. so i think i'll start counting the number of eating guys i see everyday. should be fun! haha.
tommy takder smalam.. sigh. but dil was there. but he's SO lost his appeal after being a shitty guy. i mean, he's still cute. but shitty. he goes to sum ite. wonder which.. oh and supervisor has chopped off his braids! omg it's so sad. he looks so tembam and comical now. you know, as opposed to cool and funky with the braids. haha.
i bought my "mrs. kutcher" bag. haha. i've decided not to bring it to skl. i can just imagine the comments i'll get, espesh frm jonchen. so. i'll save it for kluar-kluar. haha. and it'll look really interesting with my baju kurungs for hari raya. can't wait! [to use the bag, not for hari raya. hate it!]
oooh saper tgk notting hill last night? mischa barton looks klakar. haha. anyway it was the billionth time i was watching it and i could still cry. haha. and the "oopsy daisy" thing. it's really funn-ay! but now i'm really zombiefied and sleepy. i realise that i average about 3 hours of sleep a day. cos i dun go back to sleep after sahur, so i just bum around doing things like blogging until 830, when i go take the bus so i can see samit. haha.
i used a telekong boyan for the first time in my life yest and i totally fell in love with it! i was like, "eh baba aku nak try si telekong one-piece ni.." and baba was like, "please don't say 'one piece'!" and we started laughing. but yah it's cool and a totally different experience. or maybe i'm just nuts.
i think i just lost my everythinggirl account. how can that be possible? i just logged in smalam! now all my points have been reset! gondol.
oh and i may not be going to perth after all. too bad. i was hoping to see samit on that day. how cool would that be? i could like, smile at him or smthg similar, then board the plane and i wouldn't hsfta think abt it for 2 weeks! haha.

Tuesday, November 02, 2004

I forgot to mention: we met lisa yest at d underpass escalator. And there was this woman in d train who was BAREFOOT, w inai on her feet. Cool.
it's quite nice to blog in the post-subuh morning when everyone else is asleep.
anyway, i saw samit yest as usual. woohoo! he's SO tall! really cool.
i also realised that 36 goes RIGHT to east coast! so i kan just take 36 there next time. takyahlah jalan jauh-jauh past hdb blocks or overhead bridges over expressways. i can't wait for the exams to be over. i'll go to the beach [at 830 so i can see samit too] and read and enjoy the breeze. everytime the 36 passes the beach i'll feel like jumping out.
no tommy yest. no supervisor either. it was , however, raining like siao. you could hardly see out the glass at one point. oh there was this guy with dreadlocks all the way down to his waist, with a scarf tied on his head. he kept walking around and stuff, so we decided to call him Rapun-zul. hahaha. after that we just couldn't stop laughing, especially when i decided tt he looked like irwan, in addition to everything else.
we dropped by taka to watch the subaru impreza challenge. this poor guy called derrick was like, dancing non-stop on the spot. i theorized tt dier nak terkencing, as tt's my movement of choice whenever i feel a similar urge. acherli, i'd say tt about half the people left were dancing on the spot. either from the cold or nak terkencing or both. i thot it was really cool. plus it just wouldn't stop raining rite yest, so it musta been really really cold. they were all drenched to the bone. and the best part is, there were billions of huge payungs all over the enclosure, which the judges and other bystanders were using. kesian. but i was more amused and entertained than kesianing ah. meanwhile, baba was expressing her sorrow that people sanggup buat such things just to get a car. we tried to spot a mim, tapi cam takder ah. the screen said tt this malay girl was out, so tt's the only one i saw. anyway, yeah, very cool.
we also went into forever 21, which i've been dying to visit since i read abt it in US Seventeen. wow. we like, diden wanna leave..! price range: $18 and above. but the average article of clothing costs around 40 bucks. still. it has practically everything, from seluars and bajus and dresses to boy shorts, g-strings, bags, earrings, sunglasses and hats. i wanted to die. it was just everything i'd ever wanted. oh but the changing rooms [which are on the second floor--cool concept!] are like packed. so have fun queueing on the stairs. haha.

Pole Practice – The Evolution

 I love going for pole prac because it gives my brain and body the time to process whatever I’d learned in class. Class moments are always s...
