ha. i went to jon's salon just now and finally got my first-ever photo with taufik. actually, scratch tt. it was my second-ever photo with taufik [the first was taken with my fone]. it's really nice, objectively speaking. no, seriously. i have nothing to do with the nice way the photo looks, of course. it's cos the background [marie veton and all the clothes] is so colourful and bright and stuff. and i dunno how the makcik printed it, but it has this nice white border round it, like some professional photo or smthg. cool.
lots more things happened at jon's salon, other than the photo, which will stick in my mind much longer than the memory of the photo. and it all happened in such a short time, i could hardly absorb it! oh God. grant me the strength to forget this.
and it's been having fun having people stare at my braids, but i've concluded tt i have sum sorta scalp problem and so they're gonna have to go.

it was another meet-taufik session today. but nothing can beat the first one i had. same place, same people, plus a whole load of others. this time there were guys as well. haha. there was a cute arab-looking one, a family friend of amy's.. he's in sec 3, and he's really cute in a budak-baik-with-thick-brows kinda way. and his mom kept pestering me to take photos with taufik. haha. this time it was all that much more embarrassing cos u know, everyone's watching you take photos with him. so i just stayed away from him mostly, and watched pretty woman.
i guess the problem this time is tt it wasn't very intimate or personal or anything. plus we'd been there 2 hours earlier or smthg, and the tension was mounting in the period of time before he arrived.. well, whatever, i'm still glad tt i went--at least i got to talk to him [about my braids, actually]. and it was the last ever meet-taufik session, so i'm glad i didn't miss it. cos he's being transferred to the police band, actually, so i suppose amy's uncle won't be able to "abuse" his position anymore. haha.
there was this really cool lady who was there too. she's the receptionist at amy's mom's workplace. she has short hair and she dresses really really cool, and she looks great.. sorta like Phoebe [Charmed]. a malay Phoebe. cool sey. i wanna look like her when i grow up.
haha. "when i grow up.." when will i stop saying tt? when do i have to stop saying tt? when i'm 20? tt's like barely 2 years away. or when i'm married with kids? well. just wondering.

i'm watching the second episode of american idol on star. woohoo star world rocks.

today was slack as usual. i managed to clean out like 4 drawers and mop the storeroom, with drinking time to spare. anyway, there was this guy today who totally reminded me of derrick! same voice, same sense of humour, same niceness, everything! he ordered an earthquake, and i was getting all confused with the flavours and stuff, and he was just really nice about it. but yah, he WASN'T derrick, cos he didn't look a bit like him at all.

hm. Cute Guy of the Day was actually a father of this 2-year-old girl. haha. he's a vik, and he was totally scaring me by making me the sounding board for his you-don't-have-a-washbasin complaint. i mean, i totally agree with his logic and stuff, but i'm not exactly the right person for him to relay his comments to. so i was just standing there helplessly, while his wife smiled at me sympathetically.
oh and resident cute guy was working today, of course.. but it was non-peak at 5, so he wasn't hanging round the alfresco area like he was supposed to. he's like botak, i just realised, but he's so cute! when he came in to work, he was plugged into his earfones and he was just bopping away to the music. like really, REALLY grooving to the music. so cute! naseb baik takder customers, i looked quite stupid just standing there watching him. and clearly, i wanted to linger for as long as possible but the area manager just HAD to drop by so i made myself scarce.
had peach ice-cream today, it was so nice! it has actual peach bits inside, so cool! and today was quite a slack day, so it was quite relaxing, and i even took one order. ha!

oooooh i'm so tired. i think that'll be my opening refrain, starting now.
worked the 12-5 today, it was okay actually, less crowded than i expected.. and i spilled water again, twice. once while pouring ice water for this boy. but his mom was SO nice, she started laughing and she told the boy, "see that shows that you need another shower!" yeah i mean, most moms would just be shit outraged and get me fired or smthg. another time at the food runner station. sucks man. and i scalded my thumb on the curry chicken baked rice. yum.
i can't believe i'm working for the next 4 days! God that's just giler tiring man! and to make things worse, the cute guy won't be around!!! he's working the 5-11, while i'm working the 12-5.. damn! takpe, i'll hang ard for like 15 more minutes, maybe.. haha.. and then i'll sit outside for like 45 minutes.. just in case he comes out, even though he works at the fountain.
ohyah there was one cute guy today, with his gf. he gives a nick vibe.. haha. all biggish and cute-faced.. so i was especially attentive to him. and yest there was this cute guy who ordered takeaway, and kak nores told me he's a regular, so woohoo, can't wait to see him again.. his bapak is feringhee, and his mom is malay.. cool, mixed!
and i've lost track of the days, wow..

God my legs are killing me! ..and so ends my first day at work.. haha. oh guess what. i DID spill water, as i feared i would. hahaha. the [plastic, thankfully] cup toppled over and completely drenched this poor balding guy's back. and i was like, "i'm so sorry! i am, i'm so sorry!" God if i weren't so mortified it would actually be funny. actually kak nores did laugh at me. haha. and it was my first serving-run somemore. way to lower the morale, man. haha. well i recovered, after hiding at the fountain for a few minutes.. and my legs are more tired than my arms, anyway. i don't think i sat down at ALL, from the moment i started work. i didn't think that was possible.
it's really cool, you can see a marked change in the number of patrons as dinnertime approaches.. and by 10 there's hardly anyone. there are those idiots who sit there for hours and hours. it's quite annoying acherli. i mean, to me, it was just an eyesore. like, can you go already so i can clear the table?!?!?!
at the end of the night, i had chocolate peanut buttercup ice-cream [CPBC], scooped for me by azhar, who resembles shamo, and who calls me No-Rain for some unknown reason.. there was some leftover rice [as in Baked Rice. yummy!], but i didn't have any cos of my stupid self-enforced rule of not eating after 7. hahaha. mampos ah kalau besok ader leftovers, aku akan kebas.
and tt was my first day at work. ohyah there was one cute customer, but he was with his gf. gondol.

wow. i logged into statcounter and found out a few disturbing things. firstly, someone has been searching for nydia AGAIN. heLLO! the girl wears a tudung, can we please leave her alone? kesian sey. secondly, someone has been searching for scaryhots! and landed here! how embarrassing. i hope it wasn't one of his good friends who'll tell him the stuff i wrote abt him. and lastly, someone has been searching for ME!!! oh God. that is so freaky. [okay fine, it wasn't freaky when i was searching for samit, but still. he's a guy. trained in defence and law and order. I'm just a helpless girl. so leave me alone.]
i bought a new cd today. pure uRBan essentials 2. i got it for like $19.50! what a bargain. [oh God i sound like becky bloomwood. haha.] it is SO good! i adore it. it's 2 cds which means 40 songs! isn't that amazing? i can't wait to buy more of them.
gondol nyer jason. nak ber-friendly2 konon niari. tembak.. oh no i start work tmr, i'm totally freaked out! i have horrible visions of spilling ice water on innocent patrons/myself and breaking plates full of food. please don't let tt happen, God..

today was my last day of training. i start the day after!?!?!?! -shrieks in horror- oh and abg rahim was giving me the grand tour , but he got waylaid at the fountain [tempat buat ice-cream], so i waited for him, and the cute guy working at the fountain talked to me! wow. i wasn't even looking at him at first, so when i heard his voice i practically had to pinch myself to make sure i wasn't dreaming. haha. i'm not gonna reveal his name for fear of being discovered here, and i'm also not gonna detail the conversation here cos i've had enough of obsessing over guys who wear aprons who make conversation with me. but wow. i really hope he talks to me again! but i won't be seeing him for like, oh, i dunno, the next week or so? cos i checked the roster and tmr's the last day he's working this week. dammit. and all the times I'm working this week, he's not! it's SO sad. oh and the column next to his name says "NS" so maybe he's going off to NS soon.. that's SO sad.

hmm.. i guess i wouldn't have been tt starstruck cos of that first time in marie veton.. but i mean, baba and i DID refuse to enter the house and giggled in the corridor for eons. and baba kept asking, "you're real right?" haha. and of cos, the rgs girls were having lunch with him so i'm sure tt helped to ease any starstruck-ness. he's a really nice guy. the kind tt we'd be good friends with under normal circumstances.
had training today. for the waitressing job, i mean. it was okay. cos i just sat there and listened to my trainer, Kak Nores, and jotted down notes. it's abit like going for lecture, except it's one-on-one, and it's 2 hours long. oh and people keep walking past you cos we were sitting in the alfresco area. there were quite a few cute guys too! and i regretted not wearing anything cool and eye-catching. haha. there's a Canadian 2-for-1 Pizza place next door, so there were some cute guys frm there.. and there was a cute hai sing vik/mim-gelap, and an okay coffee bean guy, and the swensen's guys were pretty okay themselves.. oh and i was initially afraid i'd have to take out my nose stud or smthg, but interestingly enough, my trainer and another girl have nose studs too, so no worries there. haha. ohyeah and the area manager dropped in for a visit, and he's really nice! he came out to say hi to everyone and asked for introductions.. anyway yeah more training tmr.. and i just realised tt i'll prolly be working during CNY, WITH abovementioned swensen's guys. cool.

'sup, man?
had the greatest day ever. okay so it didn't start out so well. baba msged me: "taufik didn't report for work today so the whole thing is at a standstill. amy will keep me updated." so i was like really sad and i really believed tt it wasn't gonna happen. skali kul 11 si baba called and asked, "kau dah siap ke belum? he's coming at 12-plus so can we siap in like 15 minutes gitu?" so i had to scramble like crazy, nasib baik dah mandi, and took a bus to khatib to meet baba.
yadayadayada.. finally we reached there, the rgs girls were already there, eating lunch with him.. kesian amy sorang, i'm glad we arrived to form an older-girls group with her. haha. anyway in the lift baba and i were like, "okay, we're older.. act mature.." but then when amy opened the door and went in, baba refused to go in! and i got scared too, and we spent like 5 minutes giggling nervously outside her door, and amy's parents and her pakcik [a.k.a. taufik's inspector] were like laughing at us. anyway after tt we dashed into amy's room and hid there.. but finally we came out and sat in the hall while waiting for him to finish eating.
then he finished eating and he sat on the sofa next to mine.. and he started to sign autographs.. God, i thought they'd never end! those rgs girls kept coming up with more things for him to sign.. i mean, at first it was just normal stuff like his calendar thingy and posters, then they started tossing phones, bags, phone covers, previous photos, and even one ezlink card! tsk. for the record, i got him to sign my calendar thingy and my bag. that's it. ha.
then finally we took photos. lots of them. neverending. i wanted some of him in full uniform, but he couldn't take off his jacket cos apparently you can't take social photos in uniform. i managed to see his badge with his photo, though, so cute! but when it finally ended, it was back to more autographs! haha. then i decided to call fana and give her a chance to talk to him, since she couldn't come along.. actually i called sya first, but she didn't pick up so bukan rezeki dier ah.. anyway he was being really funny and cute and well he was just lots of fun.. once a trailer of his video came out on tv and he was like, "eh siapa tu? orang giler!" awww cute nyer! ohyeah he sed he was in soccer but he sucked so he joined AVA. and i was like, "eh kental!" and he agreed. wahaha! and he sed he refused to join tarian cos it's kental for guys..
anyway then amy's uncle got a call about a suicide a few blocks away, so he [amy's uncle] was gonna go alone and leave taufik with us, but of cos taufik had to get back to work too. hai.. bodohlah si org commit suicide tu.. what bad timing! if not, we wouldn't have let him leave, i think.
but he managed to sing a song for us before he left, how cool is that? we requested me and mrs. jones, by popular demand. okay, at first he just sang the first line, spontaneously and without warning or prompting. then i started screaming. haha. which set everyone else off. so we asked him to sing for us, this time with our recordable phones at the ready. it was really cool. baba helped me hold mine, so i walked around taking his photos from different angles..
and finally he left, the rgs girls walked him downstairs while i just stood at the gate and kept saying "bye". how slenger. of me, i mean. haha.
and that was our day with taufik! yeah!

i've been crossing at traffic lights alot lately, and i've been wanting to mention this, and samit even mentioned a version of it in his blog. anyway. i was just wondering. why do people jab at the traffic-light-buttons so? like, if someone's there alone, they stand next to it, jabbing away repeatedly at the button. what, do they think that an extra jab will encourage the traffic lights to hurry it up and change faster? or if someone's there already, and the button is already lighted, the next person comes along and presses it anyway. like, maybe the first person has nothing better to do than to stand on a street corner and watch the cars go by, and clearly he hasn't pressed the button cos it's lighted?
just a thought. i wonder if those buttons wear out faster with all this incessant jabbing.

so today i went back to rj. okay scratch tt. i went to the new campus. it's HEEEEEEEEUUUUUGGGGGEEEEE. you could get lost there. [in fact, i did.] lots of places for making out and stuff. but you know what? besides the fact tt i have a straight bus there, i infinitely prefer the old campus. so i'm glad i didn't have to move.
did major catching up with the PsMS minus hana. how fun! of course, i bored them silly with samit stuffs. but most of the time i kept myself in check.. haha. there was alot of talk about taufik, and at one point, marriage and even sayurs!!! God. we ARE getting old, aren't we?
and i found this year's first official cute j1! hahaha. i have to keep reminding myself i'm a j3. anyway. he's a vik [duh], kinda short and skinny and dark but really nice wavy hair AND he wears diamante earring(s)! i love him already. hahaha. yeah he's hot.
i have to admit i was hoping OM would be there, tapi takder ah. sad. there was nasi though, and lauk and yes, sya, i'll have to agree tt iylia looks hot. i can't understand how i missed it when we were tarian partners.
i did alot of sitting around, actually. oh but we played ourscene for the first time, and sya won, even though i'd bumped her back to start earlier. haha. bodoh. and i added a couple of photos [including one of samit], so it looks even cooler. i think i'll add another one soon. when i find a really hot one. i realise he's not very photogenic, even though he's extremely hot in person.
ohyeah, this morning i tried to cut my hair, and now i'm left with the shittiest bangs the world has ever known. so i have to use lotsa gel and keep my hair pinned up. gondol. now i'll look shitty for the rest of my life. [or the next few months, or something.]
finally tomorrow will be an actual rest day. i hope i get the swensen's job. please, please, PLEASE, God.

woohoo! bought taufik's cd! haha. slightly more than a week, and i can collect it..

yoohoooooo!!!
haha. i thought tt going out at 7 a.m. would make it a shitty day for me, but no! baba and i were sending irwan off just now, at pasir ris interchange [wow i'm so glad to be living here after all], and we met nikhil.. haha so we went up to him while his parents were talking to sum guy, and i asked about OM. ingenious, no? yeah and he willingly provided the requested info.. woohoo!

went to PS swensen's to look for a job. the manager there, rahman, was totally hitting on baba! kesian. he kept asking, "ni ader vacancy tak?" and saying eew things like, "alah jauh ah, camna abang nak ambik.." my sympathies to baba. but at the same time, hahahahah. it was really funny cos her interview was like 30 mins long or smthg and mine lasted all of 5 minutes. well, whatever. i'm not complaining. i mean, he's old, even by my standards. and baba considers anyone who's not 18 as "old", so it's REALLY funny.
oh and i couldn't resist, i just HAD to visit starbucks. and he was working, yeah. but he totally ignored me, so i totally ignored him. actually i should have acted normal [which means i say hi to him, and make small talk and stuff], but i dunno. i just can't do things like tt. it's too much of an act. everything's changed lah. i guess i should just forget him now. but i'm still gonna think he's cute. but it's okay. i'll just pretend we never talked. like just now was the first time i met him. yah. great. then i can still keep going there. and i can still keep seeing him around. it'll be like me seeing samit around, but him not knowing i exist so i can still go on liking him. yeah. great approach.

so yest turned out pretty cool, actually.
met baba at the airport for the annual swensen's birthday lunch. we had fries, calamari rings and ice-cream cake. we did gift-exchanging--i got a door hanger and the honey vcd i've been wanting! it even has a cool dance instruction video, which i haven't really watched yet due to people constraints. haha. baba brought candles, so we poked one each into our cake, made wishes and blew them. it was cool. i haven't blown out candles in.. well, actually the last time was on my brother's birthday, haha.. but that was a disgusting durian cake and about 1938748 other people were blowing out the candles too so it doesn't count.
i came back home and bummed around a bit before going to gillian's house.. only vania was there, and i thought i was late! and there was like so much food.. anyway it was really cool.. i was exchanging guy gossip with nurse, and she told me some stuff about batu tt puts some things into context. ooh and we met gillian's [younger] brother, who is like half-a-metre taller than her, and has apparently lost 15kg, and is kinda cute! nurse and i were visibly drooling. haha. anyway then we cabbed down to the esplanade.. it transpires tt xiaoyun was fahmi's partner during the prom pageant thingy.. haha. the crowd at the esplanade was just wow. i've never been to a countdown thingy before, so tt was a new experience for me. it wasn't tt great, though, i thought. okay, firstly, instead of the countdown, we observed a minute of silence at 11.59pm. so at the end of tt minute, ppl started cheering. okay, it was quite cool i guess. there were all sorts of people there! and like, seemingly the entire bangla workers community was there.. and beribu couples.. the latter adding less to my enjoyment of the event than the former, actually. i didn't see anyone i knew except for 2 j3 [okay now they're j4] manjen girls. but u know, the sheer number of ppl translates to quite a number of cute guys too! haha. and there were like, entire malay families, complete with tudunged mom and songkok-ed dad.. i thought it was quite cool and unexpected.
i was afraid i wouldn't be able to get home, but it turns out there's a nightrider that goes right to my stop. so i sat there, my butt turning to stone, for like 2 hours, as the bus went the scenic route through md sultan road, orchard road, and down the east mrt line on the way to my house. i was kinda hoping i'd see samit or smthg, but no go. ohwell. i tried. anyway, i wasn't exaggerating, it really took 2 hours. i got the bus at like 1245 and reached home around 230. but wow. my first nightrider experience! how cool!
anyway i was so tired when i got home, i slept till like 12 noon. [actually, i slept till just before tt cos my mom just HAD to call me on my cellphone. talk about bad timing.] and i've been chilling infront of the tv since then, watching the CSI marathon and my honey vcd, so i shd be quite well-rested now yeah? happy new year. ohyeah and i hung up my new skateboarding calendar. love it!

should have brought a camera to the chalet, but i didn't. so i took one photo at the poolside, the morning i checked out. the pool rocks!


oh and here's the photo i took with the man himself, taufik! woohoo!!!

okaylah. i guess it's time to talk about perth. funny, the last time i went there, i was in sec 1. but the 2 experiences seem so different. it's like i noticed so much more this time than the last time i was there.

getting there
the plane ride there was great. but i realised tt somehow i'd managed to develop an irrational fear of flying, so i spent a considerable amt of time on both flights praying for a safe trip. haha. anyway the plane we took there was great, the krisworld was like the most updated one, so they were showing over 20 different movies, including l'auberge espanol and kal ho naa ho. cool rite? and diverse. they also had a whole range of cds in the the database for u to listen to. mercifully, no good charlotte. haha. and you can even restart the movie, or forward it to the part you want to watch. it was really cool. i watched catwoman. it was cool, but i don't really like the ending. who cld leave benjamin bratt, man? i listened to usher's confessions. it's nice, but it has only one fast number. sorry, too many slow songs pon boleh jadi boring. the food was great as usual, and now they've added dessert to the menu so u get a stick ice-cream after ur meal, isn't tt cool? anyway, no cute guys. okay, fine, there were, cos of all the feringhees, but no eye-catching cute guys. and there was one taufik impostor! he was like wearing the tshirt-and-jacket combo with a trucker cap. hello! he was travelling! in a plane! with his family! jgn nak eksyen big shot, please! the customs at perth was really shitty. well basically, the perth airport is really shitty. it's like 2 storeys high and they turn off the aircon at night. and you have to pay 3 bucks to use *A* trolley. and it's absolutely filthy outside. apparently the domestic airport is much nicer. ape je. shouldn't it be the other way around? anyway. we sat there and waited for the rest to come out. and auntie shirley came out, and she came to speak to us before she went home, and i noticed this hot guy behind her, and i realised it was shaun! omg! he was still amazingly hot! i wanted to die. cos i looked extremely shitty and uncool. anyway i only got to see him for like 2 seconds before we were ushered out into the 19-degrees-celsius night, so i spent half the trip hoping and praying i'd see him again.

dumb dreams
i kept having stupid dreams. every night i'd have a stupid dream tt featured a different guy in the lead. once it was even lumut! like, seriously. what was WITH the dreams.

weather report
the weather was okay. the nights are really really cool, and if the breeze blows, it'll be really really cold. but in the daytime the sun comes out, so it's really hot, but it's super dry so you won't sweat. but if u stand in the shade you'll be cold cos there's usually a breeze blowing. but seriously, the dry weather was really killing my skin. you have to apply moisturiser like twice a day. and my face was practically flaking! really annoying.

life indoors
i didn't do much there. when i was at home, i either stoned in the room, ate, or watched tv. i did alot of stoning. as in real stoning. i'd just sit there and stare at the bedspread, for like hours. it was really bad. but the tv was good actually. they have satellite, which is sort of like cable, so they have lots of channels and stuff. there are like, 4 music channels or smthg: mtv, channel v, VH1, and Club [it plays clubbing songs, duh]. and they have like, nick and stuff. and 2 comedy channels, which show "the naked news". that's a news show where the newscaster is standing, fully clothed, and starts taking his/her clothes off, piece by piece, while reading the news poker-faced. and at the end they're just standing there, butt naked, with reading the news. and sorry, i didn't watch tt. there were kids in the house! and basically all the programs are completely uncensored. i mean, in Singapore even the cable channels censor "fuck", which i can't understand. in addition to new programs, they ran all those old favourites like the nanny and popular, both of which i absolutely adore. anyway yah you can't go out alone at night cos it's not like Singapore, where you can like pole-dance at a random void deck and not get raped. and you can't go out in the daytime unless you have a car, cos the malls are quite far away frm the residential areas, even in the suburbs. and the bus service is infrequent and expensive. which is why i stayed home alot.

life outdoors
i got to sit infront in the car ALL THE TIME. how cool is that? we went everywhere. maddingtons, livingston marketplace, makro, good sammy's [secondhand shop, not unlike the salvation army thrift stores], carousel and even town. we took the bus to town. that was an experience. they have an entire bus lane separated from the rest of the vehicles by an actual barrier. the shopping was great. i did most of mine at K-Mart and Big W. haha. but seriously, they have great clothes and shoes there! and i bought enough sluardalams to open my own shop! haha. all the malls in the suburbs are single-storey, and in town it's double-storey. and it's so cool how in the suburbs, you get to see the sky ALL the time. no skyscraping buildings to spoil the view. oh and what i love about shopping there is that they have my size, in both shoes and clothes. it's an amazing phenomenon that doesn't happen in singapore, espesh the part about shoes. i got a whole bunch of shoulder-dusters at carousel.. and i had crepes there too. apparently shaun likes crepes with bananas and chocolate. something to keep in mind there.. haha. town was great, there are lotsa places to eat, and we had lunch at this place called "insan's cafe".. it wasn't tt great, actually.. cos i mean, they cater to weak western tastebuds, so it wasn't spicy or anything. and the prices were like wow. tinggi giler sey. my dad sed it's because of the rent they have to pay, since it's in town and all.
oh the houses are so beautiful.. most are single-storey but you get double-storeys sometimes.. and it's quite common to build your own house.. and yah it was all just really nice to look at. my personal favourite was this one not far away from ours, it's a double-storey of dark red brick.. really nice and homey-looking.

the beach
we went to the beach on ellna's birthday, the 21st. at rockingham. apparently tt's a family beach, which explains the lack of hotties. but whatever. it's still really nice, and the water is clear and beautiful, and it's like knee-high for the first 10 metres or smthg. and the sand? wow. it slips through your fingers like flour, it's THAT fine. and let me repeat, the weather is dry, so i was having a great time tanning without the lecehness of sweating.
i also went to an actual boardwalk, at sorrento quay.. wow i mean, you've watched them on tv, like on pacific blue or CSI: Miami or smthg, but you don't have one here in Singapore, with actual floorboards and stuff, do you? yeah. and they have all these nice houses that look out onto the water, which you can rent for the day, or week, or month! wow. and they also had all these huge boats up for sale. it was really cool. there was one going for $170 000--it has accomodation for 8, with 2 bathrooms, etc. if only i had the bucks, that'd be the first thing i'd buy.

the zoo
perth zoo sucks. please don't go there. it really sucks! half the animals are in hiding cos it was SO hot. the other half are like, listless, like the poor orangutans who were in the shade to escape from the heat. i was eager to see all the native animals, but when i went to the dingo enclosure, i couldn't see a single one. and forget the kangaroos. not a sign! actually, there were signs, but there wasn't a single kangaroo. so whatever.
however, they have nice picnic areas with barbecue pits which you can book if you wanna have a family picnic, so i guess it isn't all bad. and it IS quite a huge zoo.

hotties
they were EVERYWHERE! at maddington's there was this wade robson-lookalike. he was trying on this tshirt so he just took off his own, right there in the middle of the mall, and put on the other one. wow. and as expected, i couldn't stop staring. i'm convinced he's wade's relative, since wade IS from australia.
another time there was this danny mcfly-lookalike, at sorrento quay. trucker cap, dark straight hair, fair and rosy-cheeked, kiut! he polished off his fish and chips in record time.
oh and in target in town, there was this prince william-lookalike called sean at the counter. wow he was really really prince-williamy! i was just dying there.
and half the time i'd be like, wow that guy is cute, and he'd turn out to be like, the father of a 3-year-old! haha. klakar.
ooh and i was watching this streetshow in town, and this whole GANG of like, hispanic-looking hotties strode past! they were really really hot! wow. ooh and i saw a decaf-lookalike, except he was wearing silver jewelry, as opposed to gold. haha.
so if you wanna see hotties, town is the best place, followed by sorrento quay. and i mean, in sorrento quay, it's more likely than not tt they'll be dressed only in shorts! haha.

quirks
there. are. so. many. FAT GIRLS!!! i swear. if you think i'm fat [which i'm sure you do], i am a supermodel compared to these girls. they're like, bulgingly fat, and what's worse is that they unabashedly wear skimpies like layered tank tops with tight miniskirts and stuff. eeew. there were many occasions where i'd be sitting down watching them go by, and pointing out the latest fat girl to my mom or any of my other relatives. haha. and it's not just girls, there are many fat mothers and stuff.. there was one unfortunate braless one once. eeee..
bare feet is an amazingly common phenomenon in the suburbs. [the town is too dirty.] they'll just be walking around the malls, the carpark, and wherever elses, not wearing any shoes. at first i thought it was just kids, but then i'd see 20-something couples, where the guy is shoeless and the girl's wearing shoes, or the other way around. funn-ay. even in the zoo, there was this boyfriend not wearing his sandals [they were on his bag]. tak faham. i mean, i hate shoes too, but the world is just too dirty for me to consider liberating my feet to tt extent.
ever seen graffiti? the Singapore brand of graffiti is nothing compared to international graffiti! the toilets of the McDonald's in town were just covered with them. and it looks quite nice, really. my brother took a photo of a graffiti-ed wall and made it his phone wallpaper. haha.
ohyah. extension of the fat-girl-quirk. some of them have boyfriends!!! what injustice is this?!?!?!? haha.
oh and uncle matt spotted this tshirt on a guy tt sed "YOU'VE BEEN A BAD GIRL. GO TO MY ROOM." wahaha. klakar sey.

christmas
it was quite great. you know they have the christmas light-up at orchard every year? well i didn't get to see it this year, but i got to see the light-up in perth. there are certain streets where practically all the houses there have their own decorations. and i'm not talking christmas trees with tinsel and the angel on top, and maybe candles in the windows. they have stuff like santa claus and his sleigh and reindeer on the roof, the manger scene set up in the lawn, even a wishing well next to the driveway whose proceeds go to some children's charity. it's all so pretty with all the colourful lights and stuff.. and at night there'll be lots of people walking along these streets, admiring them, and even taking photos is not out of the question, so i took some of my own. okay, fine, i went trigger-happy. but it was really great. apparently they have this competition for the best light-up. the winner gets free power for the year or smthg. ooh there was this one house where the guy has a mini-carrel and he has a pony in it, which he lets the kids ride. cool rite? so much more personal and interactive than in Singapore. ooh i just love Christmas. and it's so much bigger in western countries than in Singapore, so everyone was like wishing us "Merry Christmas".. how fun!
we even got presents for Christmas, cos they celebrate it there. i got a miniskirt!!! woohoo! it was so great! they got it from the carousel k-mart.. and it's really nice, and it actually fits, unlike all the miniskirts they have here in Singapore.

coming home
anyway yeah Christmas Day also meant Going-Home Day, and i was so excited to go home!!! i'd been counting down since day 5 or smthg. but it also meant tt i wouldn't be able to see shaun ever again. i mean, it was the day i was leaving, how would i ever get a chance to see him before i left, right?
we made good time at the airport, so we sat at red rooster eating chips while waiting to go in. [oh tt's one thing i forgot to mention. fries in perth are called "chips". they're heeuuge! all fat and full of kentang, and really deeelish. even kfc and whatever serve those fat chips instead of the skinny-nak-mampos fries.] then suddenly this guy comes out of nowhere and says hi to cik lin. guess who?!?!?! it was shaun! apparently he works at the airport, at ale house and dome alternately [oh tt reminds me, i didn't see a single starbucks there. just a thought.]. so he was just there, talking to cik lin and cik jun. and i was just there, staring at his hotness, shaun, with the really handsome face and dark eyes and two single-pierced ears with a diamante stud in each, wearing the black ale house tshirt and a santa hat sempena Christmas, and spinning/flipping a wine/beer glass in his hands. ahhh he's hot. can't believe God actually granted my doa to see him again before i left!!! so thank You, God.
the plane ride back was, frankly, not the best. firstly, the krisworld was one of those older models. so you couldn't stop or rewind the movie or whatever. and the movie selection was much less diverse. and they didn't have cds in the database or whatever. so this time i watched the princess diaries 2, cos the version on my comp is quite lousy, and wicker park, which i honestly think is one freaky movie. oh and the last bit of love actually. i love the little girl, she is the prettiest little thing! there was also really really bad turbulence, which gave me a headache and prompted me to double my prayers for our collective safety. i even snapped at my brother for playing with the tray-table-thingy. apparently the turbulence was caused by the same forces tt caused the tsunamis. freaky.
so finally i got home [auntie june picked us up, but we couldn't all fit cos of our 100kg luggage], went online, and here i am, mengangguring.

i met taufik!!!
woohoo! okay, shafa and i went out again today. [before tt i met fariq at bedok mrt to pass him my yearbook. he was late. but takperlah. he was also wearing a fisherman's hat. THAT i cannot forgive. haha.] we watched ocean's twelve at ps. it was.. well, it was okay. i thought the first one was alot better. but the cameo by topher grace was so cute! he has longish hair and he wears a tshirt tt says YOUR BOYFRIEND WANTS ME. hehe. i'd love to wear tt tshirt. anyway, hagrid appears in the film too, it's so cool! and rusty has the sexiest fashion sense! all those soft long-sleeved shirts in nice soothing colours.. wow. and btw, he still eats in the movie alot, but less than he did in the sequel. and catherine zeta-jones-douglas looks really hot. love her hair. don't care for the accent, though.
ok sebenarnyer no one wants to read about this rite? i'll cut to the chase. we were eating at jon's salon [cos i wasn't full frm eating at delifrance] and i was facing the outside and this guy came out of the lift wearing a purple trucker cap and i swear he looked like taufik, so i sed to shafa, "does tt guy look like taufik?" and she was like, "i dunno, i don't really care much anyway.." and so i left it at tt, cos there was this stupid taufik impostor in the plane to perth, and i didn't wanna be fooled twice. but as we finished eating, this woman came into the shop and told jason tt taufik was there. so i decided to go look for him. haha. i couldn't find him, but shafa saw him in "marie veton" [a dress boutique] and we spent like 2 minutes outside trying to figure out what to do. i wanted an autograph at first, but i didn't have a pen. bodoh! so i decided to use my phone cam and take a photo je ah. so we went into the shop, and all these makciks were taking photo with him. and the jon's salon makcik was there, and she saw us, and she asked, "nak ambik gambar?" and i was like, yah. she offered to let us use her camera, but i declined and decided to just use my fone. finally they stopped taking fotos with him so i went up to him.
me: can i take a photo with u too?
taufik: are you buying anything?
me: um, no..
taufik: [acting shocked] why? you must buy first, then can take photo! i'm representing this shop.. [starts picking out bajus] how about this colour?
woman from sidelines: don't have size ah.. [i think tt's what she sed..]
me: yah u need a bigger size..
him: bigger size? don't be so hard on urself lah..
anyway we took the photo. the makcik kept offering her camera, so i decided to accept it anyway. but i think my eyes tertutup. darn. takperlah. ooh he's so cute, and i was like so clumsy!
him: so you guys are shopping?
me: yah.. i mean, no.. i mean, we're just hanging out.. [trying to find something cool to say] anyway, i'll definitely buy ur cd!
fortunately the makciks also added their opinions on buying his cd, which blunted the shittiness of my last comment slightly. haha. i would like to thank shafa for finding him and taking the photo.
oh we were walking to the mrt and there were these 3 mims, one girl and two mats. the girl was kinda fat. so i was like, "wow look at tt. the guys are hanging out with a fat girl.. why don't any guys hang out with THIS fat girl? [i.e. me]" and suddenly we heard this other mat say, "yo." we continued walking. "yo." when i turned around, i saw tt he wasn't talking on the phone and he wasn't talking to anyone in sight, so maybe he heard my comment and wanted to offer his profound opinions on it.
oh my brother just cut his hair and now he looks like max from living with lydia. haha.

okay it's been a long time since i blogged properly. it's just cos i'm so malas to talk about perth. so i won't. not yet, anyway.
today i went mat-watching with shafa. how fun! okay first we went to repair her fone, yada-yada. we were eating at LJS and i met alina and shengrong! wow aper itu? haha anyway we went to tampines for optimal performance. and who was at TM? adzfar! [and his pink tshirt. haha.] there were these 3 guys in the adidas shop just standing at the counter.. and i was going to look at this rugby ball and i hadta tiptoe to bring it down and they were just like, chuckling! which made ME blush, so i refused to stare them down cos then they'd see my red face. argh buat malu je. oh haha and in delifrance, shafa was complaining abt the guy who served her, who apparently had an attitude face. so i got a good look at him and i started laughing cos he looked like squidward! haha. and his co-worker looked like spongebob, with the pimples on his cheeks.. it was SO funny. btw, i've never figured out why, when TM is teeming with people at all hours of the day, century square is as lengang as a graveyard. it's not THAT boring rite? well whatever. i had fun today. i just love going out, there's never anything to do at home anyway.
the past two days was the babain chalet. haha. i think we had less than 10 people come over, including my sister and kumara. well whatever. we had fun anyway. the pool is really nice, baba and i were screaming as we went down the slide.. hahahah.. itu belom lagi gi si wild wild wet sey. and can i PLEASE do some additional advertising for Q-Bite, this amazing brand of prepackaged chicken for all occasions. it's around 4 bucks a packet, and all u hafta do is fry it. it comes in 4 flavours: honey wings, mexican wings, chicken teriyaki and original crispy chicken. wow. it's so lovely. and eat it with sinsin extra hot chilli sauce. all available at your nearest major super/hypermarket.
okay enuff about food. we also watched bride & prejudice, white chicks, gila gila pengantin and puteri gunung ledang. the last one--i don't think it's THAT great, but it's quite a nice movie, if you ignore the slow unfolding of the scenes and the boring fight scenes. we were like making catty comments when she started dancing infront of him out of the blue, e.g. "so if i start dancing infront of samit, he'll like me?" oh and u realise tt tube tops existed in this part of the world long before si barat even started wearing them? ha. oh and i was so bored during the fight scenes tt i picked up the yellow pages and started looking for people and their addresses/phone numbers. i managed to find OM's dad! [i think..] and interestingly, he had 2 separate addresses! i also found scaryhots' dad.. haha. but from his address, he doesn't live THAT near pasir ris beach pe..
well the highlight of last night has to be the phone call. after discovering tt the chalet's phone has a speakerphone function, fana called the number listed under the west address of OM's alleged dad. and.... the number was apparently disconnected. i wonder what's the story behind tt. so not wanting it to be a total loss, we called someone else. who answered. but we didn't. anyway it was a funny/hurtful/annoying situation, all at once. i really really wonder which is the real him--the friendly guy or the rude fucker. i guess i'll never know unless i ask him myself, in which case i think he'll prolly turn into the rude fucker.
my sister slept over with me, thank God. and checkout was really quite fast. so i sat at the poolside reading my comics, eating choc & bisc and drinking lemonade from the carton. it was a really nice view. so i took a photo with my phone. the only visual reminder of the chalet. haha.

ohyes i've been wanting to post this. natasha bedingfield. shafa and i were discussing her.
shafa: her voice is really unique..
me: yeah..
shafa: i mean, when i first heard her sing on the radio, i thought she was black..
me: yah, i thought she was Pink..
then we realised the ramifications of my statement and started laughing. bodoh.

almost forgot. fariq, the guy i thought was nice but suddenly started avoiding me, has requested the yearbook from me! tak caye sey. he must really want it or smthg, or why would he bother asking me rite.

heyyy i'm back!!! 2 unknown ppl have tagged! haha. anyway i got back at like 10-ish, actually. i've just been stuck to the comp since.. i miss ya, comp!

Okay i haf like a couple of hours cos d flight's at 740. T1 has more lumpurs than T2! Haha. Oh my mom was pesterg kak yut abt d airport job. How embarrassg! Haha. Oh god i'm really bored! I'm not a girl, not yet a woman so i kan't play catchg, n i kan't sit n talk w my aunts either.. Help! Ok i'm going to pray tt samit appears. Altho he's prolly on d 53 home now. Pray w me..

darn. i overslept AGAIN this morning! i mean, i heard my alarm go off, but i was vaguely aware of me turning it off!!! so.. i woke up naturally at 830. sorry samit. not tt u care or anything. but i can't believe i missed my last chance to see samit and go to the beach before i leave!
it's like past noon now. i'm not finished packing. i don't want to leave!!! if we weren't taking the plane i wouldn't go at all. i think my favourite part going on holiday is taking the plane. i love the food, the seats, the inflight entertainment. and i love the airport. i could spend my entire day there. and not [just] because of samit. haha.
i had this horrible concoction of a dream involving me, shafa and baba at woodlands bus interchange which looked amazingly like yishun bus interchange, and trying to get a plane there. apeeee je.
i just watched the princess diaries 2: the royal engagement on my comp.. it's really quite cool, the bodyguard lionel is sooooo cute! reminiscent of michael moscovitz, who was conspicuously missing in this movie. helLO! i thought they were in love or smthg?
well i guess i should go now. this comp's been on all night, kesian sey. before it blows up in my face or anything [actually that's one of my bigger fears], i better turn it off.

i finally found my OBS journal. it was lurking in one of my drawers. actually it wasn't lurking, it was kinda near the top, but hidden by the qoo notebook. anyway i sat down and had a good read, and just like my OBS letter, it's about 40-50% OM-related. it's quite funny really, in a way. seems we were like, semi-friends during OBS--we talked on a total of at least 3 occasions. hahaha. okay whatever. too bad it can't be like that now. or at all this year.
oh God i can't believe i won't be blogging for like, 10 days! too much, i say, this is too much! so i may be coming back here periodically in the next 24 hours to post inane grumblings such as these.

suddenly i don't want to go. i wanna stay here with the tv shows and the movies on my computer, and my prom photos, and see samit on 53 every morning, and look for a cool waitressing job. i'll miss the abovementioned stuff, and then some. well i better start packing now. yes i said "start". i haven't even unzipped the bag yet. wahaha. bye peeps. pray tt tommy msgs me. although he prolly won't.

ha rupernyer my fone has autoroam so if tommy's hati tergerak untuk me-msg me, i'll receive it! excellent! anyway will be back at christmas, don't forget my chalet, peeps!

Weeping willow with your tears running down
Why do you always weep and frown?
Is it because he left you one day?
Is it because he could not stay?

He found shelter in your shade
You thought his laughter would never fade
On your branches, he would swing
Do you long for the happiness that day would bring?

Weeping willow, stop your tears
For there is something to calm your fears
If you think death has ripped you forever apart
I know he'll always be in your heart. --Vada Sultenfuss in My Girl. back from when Macaulay Culkin was at his cutest.

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 --Mariah Carey

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Takleh blog kat rumah nyer pasal, aku akan ketengahkan sum points here. 1. I will force future bfs, suamis, n sons, if applicable, to wear actual baju kurungs for jln raye. N possibly org kahwins. Haha. 2. I sent a request to otelli on p10 n she acherli read it! Woohoo. 30 sen tak wasted. 3. Dah lame tak jumpe tommy. Miss ah. 4. Maths was bad, chem okay n econs bearable. 5. I bought 2 new basic tops at giordano. Bye, duit raye. Oh God i'm bored. Help. Ohyeah i hadta bid farewell to my girls' tyco set. :(

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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. !!!

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.

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.
