Day 4 : Improvising - Nose Pack

2011-11-15T20:38:00.007+08:00

This morning I woke up with soft skin but add up few more PMS acne!

Dahla degil sakit pulak tu. Hampes. Bila nak blah nie. (sorry, cursing in malay- extra feel)

Anyway after 4 days, there are varying results based on the areas.

The most severe area is my nose. So I improvised by using my favourite Chlorella Nose Pack

I have not used any nose pack for the past 2 months - too busy to stock up on my nose packs. Guess all of it was building up. Look at what i harvested... another euwww

Hope this help. Now to find the remedies for my 6 acne.

I bought some kimchi online but it was not to my liking to eat raw because it is a bit too acidic & so yesterday I made some kimchi soup tapau for lunch~ (cooking it reduce the acidity)

it's bit spicy + sour + sweet = just nice!

I read somewhere that kimchi is the secret to korean beautiful skin.

Tapi takdela dia tepek kat muka......

It show's that what you it is what you are.

Owh no... Nasi Lemak FACE?

Tea is good for you to~ especially green tea :) high in anti oxidants

+ you can release stress by having some chamomile or lavender tea !

Night dearies~~

I'm off to site visit @ Colmar Tropicale tomorrow :P

Day 3 : Skin owh skin ~ Please be nice

2011-11-14T18:18:00.005+08:00

19th November is a wedding fiesta~~

My gals Aishah Dalila & Azhani are getting married!!

Morning - Aishah & Hady's Solemnization Ceremony

Noon - Azhani & Rashdan's Kenduri

Night - Aishah's Reception

I need my fine skin please~~

In my case, my time of the month skin I love the most~ while my PMS skin is just unbearable

To start a painting, you need a good canvas & the skin condition is the base for beautiful make up

maybe this can help~~

For me- there are two objective to make up : conceal impurities & enhance features

Will the egg white line help my skin? I'm using the U & T zone serum daily & just used the cleansing pad once, I'll use the 2nd set today, in my observation My nose is still whiteheads free

we'll see in a few days yeah ;)

Hopefully my skin would improve bye the weddings, want to look good in the pictures!

Blemishes~~ please go away!!

Day 2 : Owh my dirts!

2011-11-13T20:25:00.006+08:00

1st day trying on the egg white pore line~~

Starting off with my regular daily regime

Cleansing with Wildberry Milk Cleanser~~ squeaky clean ;)

Now let's use the Egg White Pore Cleansing Pad! Read the direction of use first~

Step 1 : Gently wipe your face with the embossed pad in circular motion

After looking at the picture... euwwww right? all the dirt - yucky

Step 2 : Gently wipe your face with the pad in circular motion

After step 2, your skin would feel bit tight & shiny smooth.

IMPORTANT : GENTLE.. please don't ganyang your face with the pads.

Touch your skin with love!

Then apply your toner~

Here comes the T & U Serum~ The serum instantly absorb into the skin & didn't leave any sticky feeling~~

After that just proceed with moisturizer + any other stuff - sunscreen, makeup etc.

Okay ready! off to Red Carpet Avenue@ the Strands - my friend Xeem Noor opened a booth selling her limited edition art prints & crocheted pouches~~

If you're interested you can see the meticulous artwork at http://www.facebook.com/XeemNoorArt :)

I also had a chance to do some research on the The Strand Development by Encorp Group

Interesting concept, can do some study on the red carpet avenue covering structure, though they still need mechanical ventilation - blowing cool air to the space- I love the skylight view when it rained~~ ++ still some rain driven rain when it was windy- because the covering structure was about 10 meters high. Hope can learn from this for my project.

Sambil Menyelam Minum Air....

Have a good day~~

Day 1 : Skinfood to start off my day!

2011-11-12T18:51:00.013+08:00

I arrived at about 10 past 10 & saw the crowd already building~

Loving the new look of skin food~ I was told that it is a continuity from Korea's outlet.

U know... I love my kimchi, I love k-drama , I love their men....yess what did u think draw me

to Cineleisure skinfood outlet 6 years ago :P KOREA!! I want their beautiful flawless skin~~~

I was welcomed with warm smiles & the goodies!

Look at the stuff I got in my goody bag~~

For the review~

& more!

the first thing I did was to ask regarding the product & application, the friendly consultants was really helpful in answering all my questions~ I am so sorry i forgot to ask your name.

As explained: Why is the serum divided into T &? U zone serum?

Why egg whites?

Egg whites contains albumin that promotes firmer skin & smaller pores that is essential as smaller pores = less whitehead & blackhead problems.

Before we embark on this journey let's know the basics of whitehead & blackheads

in a nut shell the phenomena occurs as dead skin built up & makeup residues clogs the pore, that is why we need to cleanse & exfoliate daily, with the polluted surroundings & use of daily makeup, we aint' leaving it to follow it's natural course :P

So we'll see what wonders it can do tomorrow okay ;)

I also did bought extra stuff

My must have chlorella nose pack that contains chlorophyll bought 8 of them!

The royal Jelly mask sheet - really good hydration effect

Trying out new cleanser - Wildberry Milk Cleansing Foam - clean & hydrated feeling!

& Almond King Mascara- I've tried Chestnut Mascara before- really good as it does not run when I wash it- so no panda eyes~~ ++ got myself a free chic umbrella~~

Am logging off now~ Helping my friend @ red carpet bazaar , the strands tomorrow~~

Good night~

My Life in Comparison to a Car.

2011-07-25T19:18:00.003+08:00

I am currently driving on the fast lane.So am I equivalent to my cute pink MyVi?

Let's go through this:

PETROL

That is equivalent to work-eat-work-eat & no time for gym = imbalance lifestyle for past 3 month

TOLL

Money spent here & there to reach the destination FASTER = literally travelling expenditure

I spent minimum of RM 9.50 for parking per day <

My last resort? I'd have to park at the RM2.50 per hour parking that will measure up to a max RM 15... I actually don't spend that much on daily food.

MAINTENANCE

When you drive further/longer = frequent car service /parts changes /carwash

I am recovering from from a bad case of stiff neck. Literally - masuk bengkel. Had to take muscle relaxant & massage ~ with the ongoing shoulder ache due to long hours in front of the monitor.

If only I was a car, maybe I can modify it to have extra pair of hands to type faster & extra pair of headlight for the long night shifts when brain is still functioning & my eyes shuts down.

It's so disappointing when you've worked your ass out but they equivalent your life to dollars & cents.

It's a funny when your see new European or continental cars drive in & gets the best service provide & breakdowns when the tropical climate doesn't suit them.

As this Malaysian made car, fuel efficient & low maintenance drive faster & faster.

Waiting to reach a pit stop to 'sigh' & drive on.

RUN

2011-03-22T23:06:00.003+08:00

Run.. run...run...

When I am mad I run

When I am stressed I run

When I am so happy I run

When I am down I run

When I am confused I run

Running works for me because I run on one of these

Run like you're leaving all of your problems behind

Sprint till you're out of breath, the only thing you'll hear is your heart beating strong till the top of you head.

At that moment you'll make it through

Rage released, sadness leaks, happiness burst

& you'll be stronger to face the problem, at least you've tried the other option ;)

btw. today I ran because of you, because i think too much.

DURIANS

2010-08-09T18:01:00.002+08:00

Reminder to oneself

never eat durians before going to sleep...

you'll end up tossing and turning for hours

brain & eyes all teary begging to sleep.

I wonder if durian have high caffein content...

"have you had ur cup of morning durian juice?"

bubbles.... bubbles....

After 1 year

2010-05-09T10:31:00.003+08:00

Wow, i can't believe that it's a year since my last post :P

I guess I lost my blogging groove..

Alternatively, I went through the gym-addict phase - went to the gym everyday for 6-month -take up personal training sessions- lost another 10kg or so.. the next threee month been hectic at work- gone to the gym less and gain back another 5kgs.. damn.. I want to go to the gym..

Yet, there's so much to do at work, focusing on the monitor trying to get things done before numerous meetings,presentations and submission...your eyeballs just gives up n starts to see double..

I need a life, or more accurately a personal life, currently - it's 60% work, 20% family & 20% me time.. (me time=sleep) aiyo....balance up!! get a bf- but how? it's surely a mystery of life to me.

My laptop is busted... It overheated and the metal plate underneath is popping out.. while I was needing it the most- I attend a course to be a GBI Facilitator- a three day course + 2 weeks to prepare a group project and a 40 questions objective exam... the course was compact- but the group work took most of my weekends- the the exam was just plain hopeless for me... since most of the questions would be 'kacang' for the M&E engineers yet not doing justice to the architects. Did I mention it's an open book exam? even worst... Tina & I was studying the night before at the office, at 10.30pm, the office blacked-out and the fire alarm rang- we were trying to keep calm, gather our stuff since there was just the two of us and when I tried calling the security, it was engaged- so we can't call the lift and the fire escape stairs are pitch black... tot we were going to be 'rentung'...finally, after half an hour.. we got out of the building- safely- rupe-rupenye, TNB was doing some electrical works in the building-- and there was no memo...

to be continued?...

Koreans invading my mind...

2009-05-25T23:20:00.002+08:00

I'm in love ...

Gu Jun Pyo...

Over the weekend, spend my day and night watching 'Boys Over Flowers"... addicted

AIyo... then I had a crazy dream similar to the scene when Jan Di was kidnapped.... but the hero was Mr. V with a missing tooth... I woke up numerous times but the dream kept resuming... bingung betoi... horror + hillarious

I love korean love stories...I love korean food... I have this unrealistic image that all Korean mens looks more or less like the ones in the dramas, so handsome & tall .. kononnyela...ahahaa... I can also cook kimchi soup & korean BBQ... uhuhu

Just leisuring myself with these owh so happy bubbles.... yezza.....happyyyyyy

so lovey dovey....sweet and funny with cherry on top!

Since last week I took two days off, and then spent the weekend leisuring around... It's such a slow monday... went to HaagenDaz to redeem the free pint with the coupon from along :P yummy macadamia & belgian chocolate... owh...no....

I love pasha (ungu).... so handsome *sigh*.... I love his voice.... *sigh*......I love his song... *sigh*

I love lovey dovey song.... though I have nobody to share the song with *sigh*.... I love sweet thoughts, I love silly romantic scenes..... I love ego lovers.... (not ego love)

Korea is really making millions in tourism with such scenes from korean dramas clouding our mind...don't they? to think about it, before there was K-drama fever, nobody even cared how kimchi taste like...

Feeding singles with cerita cinta korea yang fana....

Something to ponder upon...

this was sitting in my inbox, forwarded by aishahanim on 22nd march 2005

==================LOVE AND MARRIAGE==================

"If the rate of marriage in a community increases, that community is blessed because it is saved from all sorts of heart-breaking accidents and painful cries."- The first 3 parts are prepared largely from a lecture by Muhammad Al-Shareef at NYU on March 24, 2004.

The insights about love and marriage here are dedicated to all non-married youths, their parents and newly married couples.

THREE TYPES OF LOVE

There are basically three types of love:

(1) Love for Allaah and His Messenger (sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam)

(2) Love for Parents, children, siblings etc.

(3) Love for opposite gender.The first type is the highest state of love.

No one else can be more beloved than them. The second one is natural love and it's encouraged. The third type of love is between two non-mahram people, with whom marriage is allowed. This love is a double-sided sword that can be used in fine ways to bring prosperity and happiness or it can be used in horrific ways to bringdisastrous end results.

THINGS THAT BLOCK INITIATING MARRIAGE

1. Money:Most people think that they will need lots of money to get married, whereas Allaah promises to protect the Muslim or Muslimah who gets married to protect themselves and He will enrich them from His boundless provision. A married person is forced to take care of his new spouse and therefore strives to get jobs, in addition to the assistance that the family should provide.

2. Looks:One usually forms the "person of his dream" from TVs, films, or magazines etc. on the basis of looks, but forgets that his beautiful/handsome "person of his dream" is not so beautiful/handsome in real life. They're all covered up under gels, contact lens, cosmetics and many other artificial make-ups. Time, culture, and trend set the standard of beauty and it's always subject to change. Therefore, one's outer look shouldn't be a barrier in discovering his/her inner beauty.

3. Degrees:Students who pursue degrees, which require many years, think that marriage will take away a lot of time and they won't be able to study. In fact, one who spends hours after classes just chit-chatting with friends, will save that time if married because someone else will be more deserving of those hours. That will force one to discipline and manage time more productively. It's proven that unmarried students spend a huge amount of their time with their friends or others just talking or planning about marriage, future, and whatnot. The time that goes into thinking about marriage-fantasy can be actually well spent by getting married for real.There are other reasons at large, but these are the main concerns at individual level. For blockage from family and other outside problems, it's the knowledge, preparation, and determination of the individual that will cope with such obstacles.

SAYING "NO"

When you see someone is following you around and you know that's not theperson you want to end up with, be very clear in saying "NO." Even if it's semi-harsh, it'll work. Otherwise, if you say, "May be/may be not," or "I'll think about it," or "Let's see what happens," you'll be simplyprovoking the person. If you don't have the guts to say it or actually like the person and he approaches, tell him to speak with your parents.

A dignified person would never approach someone personally in this manner anyway. They would go through their guardians/parents and propose the other party. That's where the "walee" or guardians play the role to protect thewomen and to make the right decisions.No matter how much we may disagree, our guardians know what it takes to be a husband and a wife and they want to have the best for you too. Make their experience a positive resource in making such decisions. After all, you're the one with the final authority to agree/disagree in a marriage. This check and balance is absolutely necessary in dealing with such criticaldecision of one's life.

CONSULT WITH THOSE WHO ARE MARRIED

For consultation about marriage, people usually approach their friends, who are in the same trouble as they are in or even worse. Usually they will suggest you things without experience or relate often-heard rumors. Really, do they, the non-married ones, know more than the married ones, about the ins-and-outs of marriage? Approach married people who are honest, righteous, trustworthy, and wise. They'll suggest you better and help you make the right decisions. Don't be afraid to ask. They'll be more than willing to solve the problems that they went through before in their own life. It's observed that knowledgeable youths get married earlier and ithelps them along their married life in making the right decisions and also helping others to do the same.

MAKE A LIST OF CRITERION

Many times, one makes a list of things that he/she wants to see in his/her spouse. The lists are sometimes so unrealistic that no one on Earth would meet the conditions. In making such list, one needs honesty, determination, and good will. Prioritize the aspects according to what you want, don't want, and can't live without. This list should reflect your values, personalities, and goals. The Prophet, sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam, said, "A woman is normally sought as a wife for her wealth, her beauty, her nobility, or her deen (religiousness), so choose a religious woman and you will prosper." (Muslim) Similar criteria go for men also in terms of courtesy, honesty, patience, and manhood.

BE THE PERSON YOU WANT TO MARRY

So, what happens after you make a long list? You want a person with, let's say, a dozen different qualities. Now, if someone asks you: "what are you doing to deserve a wife/husband like that?" Do you have an answer? Is the answer satisfactory? If not, you better correct the list not according to whom you want, but according to who you are. If you have a goal, you must work towards it. "Be the person you want to marry" -- the qualities/personalities that you demand, make sure you have them in you first.

LOOK FOR EXCELLENCE, NOT PERFECTION

Perfection is the highest attainable standard, but excellence is the quality of being outstanding and doing better than a given standard. No one's perfect; absolute perfection belongs to Allaah alone. A person who searches for perfection will never get married. [If he looks for a heavenly"Hoor-al-'ayn," he'll have to wait until he dies and hopefully goes to jannah.] So, being absolutely practical, we should separate the pros and cons of a potential spouse and evaluate them to see which side is heavier. Let's not look for perfection, rather, look for excellence.

RESPECT YOURSELF

"If people don't respect themselves, they're not respected by others." There are young people who still behave or dress like first-graders in their twenties. How can he expect that the parents would give their child--one they've been raising with great care for so long--to an immature or irresponsible fool? When it's time, a man has got to be a man and a womanhas got to be a woman.

KING OR QUEEN OF ONE'S HEART

The idea of monogamy and devotion to one person for the rest of one's life is often incomprehensible for many people. After countless dumping by their boyfriends/girlfriends, one's heart longs for "the one" who will be the king or queen of that heart. Unfortunately, they fail to realize that "being just friends," "living together," or "keeping in touch" devastate theirlonely hearts with even more loneliness and suspicion. The boundaries that Islam draws let a married couple live and enjoy their married life as king and queen of each other's hearts. If your can stay within the limits before marriage, you will fulfill life, love, and living with the greatest appreciation after marriage.

ENGAGEMENT

Engagement contract and actual marriage should not be far away from each other. Most engaged people act as if they were married and cross the line. Many times, they talk hours after hours about their lives, plans etc. There will probably be no interest left after marriage; therefore not having the appreciation and patience to listen to one another. All long talks andendless discussions should be saved for marriage and thereafter. Engagement doesn't give you a VIP pass to cross the line.

Day Alone, for Myself

I've been looking forward to KL Design Week, ended up i only had time to go on the last day, so i drove to the LRT station n took a train to Dang Wangi- had some idea of Caps Square from a map but when I walk from Dang Wangi I realise I don't have a clue where it is... closed my eyes n just pointed to a direction- guess I still got some goodluck charm left- found it! huhu... I made myway in n found the secret tents~~

luv the colourful tree branches?

I suddenly bumped into Lindsey & Lee at the tents, so we went to the Tappers cafe' for lunch- the food was nice ++it was pleasingly affortable- uhuhuhu... then up we go to the exhibitions :P

the cute bunny with everything fancy

expansive apple mari-mari from japan

Spent time leasuring through the exhibits and wondering if it's too late for me to take another degree for say in graphic design? aiyo.... bought some picture postcards and a handmand brooch- so cute. Then Lee had to go off to BB and Lindsey wanted to go to the national art gallery, so we went our separated ways- It started raining, I walked to Masjid Jamek station and took a train to Pasar Seni since I'm heading the Annex to see another part of the KLDW exhibition- I missed my schoolday lingering around CM after tuition... so I was heading there amuse to see how much CM has change- the shops are properly planned and divided by themes..

I walk through CM to Annex & head up- though I felt a bit lost since the gallery was so high up- the exhibition was short and sweet- uhuhu, I luv this particular artwork done by a pair of architects, on curtains- their idea on breaking the monotonous idea of having curtains at home, they came up with this folded canvas undulating 3D artwork :)

Next stop- Petaling Street- I walk through all the path in the bazaar area and ended up with another LeSportSac bag... can't resist- only cost me RM30-- thought I had a different kind of casual bag in my mind... uhhhhu... then I stop by my favourite flower shop and bought my self a bundle of XL red roses... I love them..feel so high...it's so pretty

the red roses cheering up my grayscale room

Today,I'm feeling low, I'm in the state of having a fever or not- bit of temperature + so tired yet still not eligible for an MC....This is so torturinggggg....after work I needed some retail therapy... Tina entered kinokuniya & I followed to buy some mech pencil leads I came out with theseeeee

i've read some pages from shah's pdf book-

but it's just doesn't feel the same iron women? like the idea?
just "i feel her"

+ I add up a D+A mag

but I still bought the 0.7HB & 0.35HB leads...
+++ all the books are priced 25% less...

Did I do wrong?

It's not sinful to buy books right?

+ I need something to distract myself from thinking about

the "kecacingan syndrom"

& please la-- zentel won't cure this trapped feeling

I can't breath!! just felt like falling onto the floor & never get up again

read through the denial- YES!

fana sungguh my love life... loving people that don't know i exist

the incident, the smile & the glance...

2009-04-01T00:02:00.007+08:00

I'm feeling better, picking up...though still confused and uncertain, i'm just enjoying the ride..

smile more! laugh more! mabuk kepayang~ i'm amused....

I had an accident last friday... it was raining, the gals n i was on our way to lunch... wearing slippers and holding our umbrellas.... suddenly, at the stairs behind promet...i slipped- and slide through bout 8 flights...ouch... though i have a good suspension system...it was...*OUCH* it's already turning black and blue....hope no permenant damage is done... seriously it felt like a stunt scene- with me holding the yellow umbrella... i got up n started laughing...

Later that night was Nizar's surprise farewell party @ souled out, hartamas- we arrived bit late due to the traffic@ pudu, the event was great- place was nice n food was scrumptious... i has grilled chicken & hot coco.. uhuhuhuuu... they also made nizar wear an afro wig & plastic butt shorts...

Though still aching from the incident, on saturday, tina & i had a stress out outing- karaoke & retail therapy to be exact... filling the soul...with new pants!

New pants comes in handy for special events! especially when all your pants are getting loose....uhuhu... first ground breaking~ bak kate encik amir... dress to kill...waikiki....20 of hijjasettes attended the ceremony & we had fun++

uder, alynn & me

lee, me, jess, kak ida, dalina, uder, alynn, nizar, ma'am (pn.serina) , bos (en.hijjas) & superman (en. amir)

ayat penyata "the client- naza brothers...are cute!!"

today, 31st March 2009 was nizar's last day in hijjas, farewell nizar~ semoga idea melimpah ruah & sukses! Welcome to April 2009~~~

2009-03-22T17:41:00.001+08:00

I’m Jaded…having nowhere to head to when u need to clear your head with equivalent to window shop or just drive around for a drink is really torturing. Feeling bit helpless and unsecured. I’m maximizing the usage of my monthly LRT pass by using it this weekend. But this also limits my time to the last LRT available. ++ I have to walk to office from KLCC, and there are not many people around during weekends. Thrilling-based on the snatch theft cases in the area, hold on tight to the bag.*mindset* ready to face any suspicious motorcycle…tongek…
Just a unrealistic plastic workaholic like me would go through KLCC not looking left or right and babbling in myself that there are too many people around and it’s hard to walk because I’m bit over budget for this month. Shitaaaakeeeeee MUSHROOOOOOOM!!!!! Just when everything is on sale and I need to shop to cheer myself out…

It’s been a month worth of weekends, I felt like having a day off after this ends. But a creeping feeling of not having myself occupied with work for a day would break me at this fragile moment. I can’t have fun, broke… and suffocating. I keep playing lonely songs in my MP3, as loud as the eardrums may bear. I can’t speak to anybody because there’s nothing to talk about. I’m empty—see.. Like a drum…LOHONG…

Too dramatic… Maybe I’ll just take a day off and sleep all day. Any vacant house?
I desperately want to run Far Far Away…. Leave everything… Being a coward, that’s a good idea…I’ve been facing too much. Yet I kept it clean- Kept it in. It’s tiring, I’m weary. Writing about this, I rationalize. At least it’s out. Maybe I’d feel better.

I’m also saying goodbye to the Red Kelisa, WJM… tq for all your deeds. I’ll miss u loads.. TQ for hearing all my problems, screams and comforting me when I weep…

a short update for a long time

2009-03-19T21:02:00.009+08:00

I've been busy for the past month, many things has happened.

21st February
PointSIX Picnic @ Sg. Sendat~~~

kudos to Miss Mazlinda for the cake!!!

28th February-1st March
Our redang trip was marvelous~~~ i still miss the clear blue sea, adventures and amusements. I'm so proud to be a Malaysian! We have the most beautiful place! i felt like i was in the Carribean Islands...!! minus the seasick scene on the boat- i'm glad i wasn't affected though. "bot rosak & hanyut dilaut tatkala ombak besar" is not exactly a holiday scene in mind.

our attempt to spell out KAED

freestyle!

Then comes the wedding week...
7th - 8th March

my friends@studiomate@roomate -Anis- Got married to my other studiomate... basyir :P
Happy two weeks anniversarry!! SOrry i was late! dah tutup dewan time sampai dewan beringin- due to traffic dari rumah Nanie @ Kajang

megat (yang ikram) my studiomate & nanie yang cantik also got married! the wedding was fabulous!!

Congrats dearest~~~ sangat terharu

After all of these occasion...
i've been up to my sleeves with work...
today i can take deep breath while waiting for the feedback
that's why i'm updating
though i'm so dissappointed that apparently in some people's opinion, i have an attitude -
assuming without asking, how people can be so lost in translation
though yesterday had been such a bad day
though some people just don't realize what they say actually can hurt me! yes me! and again people assume it's because of something else- still assuming
though i was assuming also that my liking in someone is hopeless.
we assume to much don't we.
why can't we just ask?
why can't we just apologize?
why can't we just find the answers?

EGO!! SCARED? plain stupid....
i am stupid too...

but there is always room for improvement
i believe things happen for a reason
i am anxious for my answers
i'm opening doors for any new experience!!
and May Allah bless my journey :)

Miss Clumsy

2009-02-11T18:46:00.000+08:00

I can’t believe I’ve done it again, so mad…. so mad at myself. It comes to a time I did believe it could happen, & I was left wounded. I kept reminding myself of the game, how ironic, loser in your own game….

Life had been great, progressing, my optimistic side uncovering yet to this small event, I’m having a lapse of all the thing that had happened, how it hurt, how I hoped, how I prayed that it will mended. Yes I fall easily, so clumsy…

Or maybe I miss the feeling; the pain- suffocated of the emptiness in my chest. Unable to neither breathe nor feel. Numbness creeps through. A magnet to negative energy. Feeling of unworthy & ugliness. A time to duck my head and walk slowly, sinking in the background.

I want to escape. I don’t want to face this stranger again. I better keep a distance or I might fall & left bruised again. Run away…Feeling so weary today. Thinking of taking ½ day, got things to settle & going to PGL the Musical tonight…

I'm sorry if this entree is 'disturbing'

Busy Weekend

2009-02-11T18:17:00.009+08:00

The new session starts 21st February, I might not join LimFooYong group however - I’d be joining Mizan’s Setiawangsa WLC instead since it’s nearer to my house. Will miss all of you~~~

On Sunday, Shah organized a little get together@ Sunway Pyramid- the culprits involved was Ku Shah & Spouse (Ku Shima), Yg. Mulia Adda, Raja Man & I…. Shah pick me up @ bout 11.30 & we head out dengan gamble- since it’s been years since I went to pyramids- out of my path.

Meet up for lunch@ Che Gu Korean BBQ… ++eat till we drop… then off to continue shopping- Adda bought a new handbag, a blouse & sandals while I got myself new pants, a black shirt & bangles@bizen… Had tea @Asian Row Okonoyaki & fruit sherbets…while overlooking sunway lagoon… uhuhuu…
After maghrib, had two games of bowling ++lots of laughter (sorry to the uncle for spoiling his concentration. Head home bout 9, had dinner@ D’mamak Corner before Shah drop me off… It was a tiring day…power walk shopping….

Since I ate a whole lot of Korean food on Sunday…& since Monday is another holiday, I went to Raintree for some work out & sauna…. Tot of meeting butet but she’s being homey due to her cold.

On Tuesday we had Lani’s & Niniey’s Farewell Get Together@ Little Penang- The theme was Purple+White~ These are some pictures of the gals- We had FUN!!

Confession of a Shopaholic

2009-01-23T23:23:00.015+08:00

Yesterday Tina & I spent time @pavilion afterwork- bought myself a formal jacket for meetings @ms.read & i was so glad that they had a secret discount- 30% less!! yeayyy... Then we went to Forever 21- I tried on a handful of vests but couldn't make up my mind, so i just bought a top instead- while tina bought a pant & knittop-- huhu...We also bought some stuff @LaSenza *wink* had to go since all the shops are closing.... waikiki....

This morning we head up to LHDN Wangsa Maju to open our files- It took us a while , then off to Jusco since Tina was starving- had Mc'D breakfast- to LRT +monorail to office since it was so hot + we were tired... Did some work - everybody was so excited that the holiday fever has started. Took some pictures of my new deco- cherry blossoms!

After eating steamboat, i burn it up by doing some deco works... huhuu seriously a workout- you have to hold it still so it sticks at the exact spot.... huhuu.... at last, it's no more- a blank wall, now i have bird on wires....

2009-01-18T21:59:00.015+08:00

4 single gals having a blast @ KLpac Open Day

miss azim

miss adda

miss tina

-eating session @ a self acclaimed port,

well shaded but with a wide horizon to observe the surrounding happenings a.k.a silent surveying with wonderful food & drinks, scrumptious potato salad by miss adda , comforting onion sosej stir fried by miss azim , super healthy chicken wrap by myself & juices by miss tina.

-this is followed by some follow ups on gossips with some "short slots" of fashion police segments & silent surveying activities...

-next is the fun part- shopping @ bijou bazaar, they are a lot of interesting & eye catching stuff, & it really feels good that all the stall owners are really passioned in producing their arts ++ the clothes are super affordable and mostly vintage... bought my self some chunky bangles- four for only RM8- cooliess... been searching all over for some that fit nicely & found it there by chance... hiksss...

- i also bought something for my room~~~~ yeayyy

it's so cute & suppose to look like this

i haven't paste it up yet- but it's way better than ikea's in term of motifs & i was glad to hear that it wasn't sticker type, made of vinyl & won't mess up my newly painted wall, if' u are interested visit feedmylamb there's a range of motifs from preppy, retros & natural elements priced from RM 29-RM 89, fairly affordable than experimenting with paints, messy & risky. ++ the packaging bag is so kewl- like an old record..

-after spending $$$... time for us to join up in some of the activities~~~we were supposed to join throughout the day, but we had such a great time leasuring around & having our girl talks- so end up- we only went to one segment- interactive theater singles workshop- ahaks... it figures, but we had a great time learning the basic of theater with all the games lined up by the coordinator- Mark. discovered some hidden talents & make new friends along the way! we had fun ++acting our dorky sides , certainly an unforgettable experience. We did a mime scene with a prop-and i was one of it ( supposed to be a teddy in a drain)- and the drain is a plastic chair whereas i entagled myself with- but th audiance tot it was a car accident scene.. funny!!!, awkward position group race, and star pose- where i did a blowfish during the aquarium scene & a dracula for horror thme guess twillight clogged my mind there... a session filled with smiles & laughter ++ i thank all my new friends for the workshop too!!! i loike~~ Mark also encourage all of us to try out for the KLpac young artist audition in march- he said most of the whole bunch had talent! huhuu... sorry i don't have any pictures during the actions

listening to mark "khusyuk"

After the workshop, we continued eating... ahahaa... @ our rendezvous till bout 4pm, we went exploring the compound when the weather started to tone down, such a pleasent day for a walk, Salman & Mirzam joined us later, follow by Razi & Linda- I was fun laying around on the green grass, though "aku-punctured" the grass was prickly, but it didn't stop tina from dozing off- huhu.. we leasure around till bout six- had our Asar prayers & head out for a drink at a mamak stall near heritage row, good rojak & warm barley for my my heart... huhuu... headed home afterwards, exchanging farewells, hoping today would last longer, back to reality- a meeting tomorrow ++ sumbody's birthday...

loving my blingies

Picture Worthy Events

2009-01-14T08:12:00.007+08:00

Being a good friend ;P today i am promoting my friends wedding photography services

most of my friends are photonerds, and i believe that each of them have a different signature when you look at the pictures. Eccentric in their own way, i am most impressed with amir farid's talent in photograph. I believe that it's talent, not everyone can find that right angle no matter how expensive your camera is. Though currently the DSLR fever had gone to most of the guys in my batch.

I know that there are many professional wedding photographers in Malaysia, just in case you want to survey around and loike their style, you can give them a call, they even have services for custom albums that looked so appealing like exclusive :)

a picture holds a thousand memory, but an old shopping paper bag holds a sight of delight, my new revamped wardrobe is ready to be filled with a month's worth of clothes for work since my old clothes hanger has fallen off it's wheels due to access weight of my shirts and pants. i was going through my bundle paper bags from shops and events realizing that each of them actually holds a memory of what I've bought and my experiences through study years in KAED- yes, i saved it all, i can even remember some that are given by my friends to pass items. Maybe it's because most of the things I've bought are treats for myself.

I have numerous collections of items- from birthday cards from primary school to limited edition stamps. in between there are coins, pretty little plastic bags and art brochures. Make way for my Derwent Artist colour pencil and Kurecolour markers~~~ (that i've bought with raya earnings and PTPTN loan) wahahaha.....

kurecolor is always the best marker for me, for it's vibrant colour
though it would cost on RM6.50 - 5 years ago, now each may cost more than RM 10

my treasure~ though the shorter ones are the green-brown others are left unused :P

My Advanced Birthday :P

2009-01-13T08:33:00.005+08:00

Last friday I had dinner with my along & abg long @ pizzahut klcc, after the dinner i wonder into a crystal shop to look for a present for butet, i was also thinking of adding up a signature accessory for myself. It was unplanned that my sis had a bright idea of treating me with a labdorite crystal pendant :P for my advance birthday present!

this is how the pendant looks like, but my labdorite crystal is more greyish & looks better in real like as you can see the specrolites sparkle

these are some facts i got from http://www.stonemania.co.uk on Labradorite

The easiest way to say Labradorite is in two syllables, putting the emphasise on the letters in bold, 'Labrad' 'orite', Labradorite.

Labradorite is very iridescent meaning it displays a spectrum of colour that changes depending on the angle at which you look at it and the colour which can be seen in a good piece of Labradorite is really quite breathtaking. This effect is called schiller or labradorescence.

Green or blue are most common but occasionally red, yellow or grey can also be seen. The finer the stone, the more striking the colour will be.

With regards to healing properties Labradorite is said to provide clarity to the inner self, enhance patience and offer a quick relief from feelings of anxiety and hopelessness replacing them with enthusiasm and inspiration.

It dispels negativity and improves one's ability to cooperate with others.

It is also believed to give perseverance and strength.

Other benefits of Labradorite are to help treat eye and brain disorders and to help regulate metabolism and the digestive process.

Labradorite can also help to purge negative thought patterns, to give great insight and vision and it allows one to communicate these gifts in a beneficial way for the self and others.

It is said to bring out your best qualities allowing you to be all that you can. Labradorite is a powerful self esteem building gemstone.

cupcakes vs building?

2009-01-12T08:49:00.006+08:00

Cupcakes~~~
i miss baking
this was my last cupcake project, a few months ago, with fondant
i love the little digi ducks the most
uder don't even have the heart to eat them,
baking and cooking is just a way for me to de-stress and indulge
though i rarely eat them

i have my first order yesterday, a friend of mine is getting engaged! so i'll be baking during the chinese new year~ I am open for any extra orders too :p

I had a chance to tag along for a site inspection at Putrajaya International Convention Centre last month, honesty, i like the design and the planning too. Ample space to circulate as well as light ambiance, rather than dark and formal like...

the only gal is behind the camera

my favourite picture frame of the building

at last! welcome to the grayzone~~~

2009-01-04T23:56:00.006+08:00

i've finished painting my furnitures and walls... it was hard work, 3 days, starting on christmas day! sweating like crazy- workout of the year- glad i lost 2.8kg! yeay~~~ had my dad help out today for the little areas that i can't reach way up there since my room is has a double volume part due to the soffit.

abah touching up the edges

my brother said that walking into my room is like being in a black & white movie, i think it still needs that feature wall- i've spend rm500 on the bookcase, side table, night lamp, paint for the furnitures and majestic semi gloss for the walls- a 5 liter can would cost RM 90 ok (only for white) and ++ if it's a custom colour. at least i've toned down the pinkyness. Thinking bout customizing a framed fabric centerpiece.

the irresistable nightlamp- didn't planned to buy one-huhu but it is soooo pretty & it's on the new side table- hiks.. the two lil cuties was a farewell present from dalina.+ essentials the sony radio clock to wake me up, luv the vanilla candle to tone down the paint smell and a book to help me sleep- currently on eclipse... huhu

my old bookcase was smaller- and now after getting a bigger one- i am in the conquest of filling it up. People~~~ i need more booksssss... please feed my heart. The architecture sections are already filled... ;p

revamping the environment

2008-12-27T01:19:00.005+08:00

I am revamping my room for the new year~~~

new room

new spirit!! & more to come

This is the old look, the curtains are new though... bought the textile @ jogja, please pardon the squishy cushions.. huhuuu.... the drawers from ikea also needs fixing, not durable enough, i just store some clothes & tudung in it, the base fell out. need to buy some spare parts to support the base.

resting zone

working zone

spa zone

my room is so dotty... i've bought a new bookcase, a sidetable & lamp from ikea, currently repainting my furniture & hoping to start on the wall paintings tomorrow ;P

i'll upload the new look when this project is finished okay~~~

Leave a comment for each blogger.

seven facts about myself

1. My preference to colour, music and food constantly changes through the stages in my life. i've gone through green-blue-red-purple-fuschia and slowly to green again? There were times when i loathe green... huuuhu.... currently i'm up for loud music + japanese food... every saturday- sakae sushi @pavilion...

2. I prefer to stand on the your left side when walking, but i prefer wearing my bag on the right side. My left feet is 1 size bigger than my right, that is size 10L &9R unfortuneately they don't sell uneven sizes, so i can never wear both in comfort. Particularly devastating since i love shopping for shoes- especially wedges pumps...

3. My dream is to open a spa, that also sells flowers and plans weddings. I'm such a girly-gurl that my mum always says too rough to be one... due to my tomboyish history of being atheletic + "adventurous". I'm strong too- once lifted a lady yang pitam dlm lrt- if you don't believe me ask tina...

4. For the last upcoming 25years, i had only 1 bf ( tina & axeem won't agree if i said i had none though i doubt it was considered as one) and numerous rejections... i might warn u that i have a long list of eye candy & muses... with similar traits- at most lasted minimum of 6 months-2years.

5. I am an Aquarian- I love water- swimming is my favourite physical activity. currently making a habit out of drinking water- 2 to 4 liters per day

6. Baking and cooking is one way for me to de-stress, but i rarely eat what i bake- I mostly cook italian, chinese and western food. I just don't know how to work with santan, so don't expect me to cook gulai lemak or rendang just yet... I cook mostly out of intuition- "masak campak-campak" no measuring required.

7. Everyday I'll take the LRT for terminal putra to KLCC, walk through suria to the pedestrian bridge to convention centre, cross through impiana, enter kompleks antarabangsa take a lift from P1 to G, go out and cross the road to my office. It would take me about 40minutes for the whole journey. SO it's my exercise routine everyday... wakakaka

7 unspectacular quirks

1. I had my appendics removed when I was 9 years old, it took the doktor 4 days to diagnose me due to my special case of it being upside down so then pain was at the wrong places...

2. Although i rode my scooter since i was 12, i never did took my motocycle license. Ride with an 'L' for 3 years until i retire it to drive the car....

3. I am fairer than chinese,they said so. I speculate that it's the Siamese genes from my dad's ancestors who came from Patani.

4. I will feel sleepy in warm conditions. I use to sleep in lectures. I just can't stay awake- If you want me to stay awake- make me talk.

5. I can't resist smelling flowers.

6. I like to 'meow' alot, really becoming a habit I say hello with a meow nowadays

7. I feel secure in confined spaces, that is why i have loads of pillows on my bed, i my childhood days mostly spent under a table.

Muse-ing Again

2008-12-17T12:54:00.000+08:00

It’s been awhile

It’s been hectic

The turbulence has pass through

Left is the silence, buzzing of the empty mind

It made me hollow, it echoes

Unable to be lost in the hectic life that I longed for

Unable to shade my feelings with

Drowning in the bubbles that pops up in my mind

Hoping to have a shoulder to retreat to each day

Alone, surrounded by strangers I closed my eyes

Sunk myself in the loud noises to buffer my mind

Read myself to sleep or rather stay awake reading

I’m confused; do I really hate my life in slow mo?

Enough said.

I am looking forward to Anis’s Bachelorette party at damai!

I’ve taken leave for 18^th and 19^th December, have to settled some stuff

and on 19^th, off to damai with the girls!

Last week we had a slumber party at Shim’s since her parents went for Hajj

Shim and Dieba organized an awesome party with plenty to eat

- bbq & fried rice for dinner + other junks we chip in

Though I’m bit health conscious these days. Huhuhuu

And after dinner, we watched Sex in the City (this is not porn! just uncut version - referring to Axeem’s post at point6ix.com) and Sepi (some of us skip on it and opened a gossip circle while having supper) we ended the party the next morning with American breakfast and a photography session~

Tina and I went straight to uder’s house afterward, arriving about 3pm, helping here and there for akmal+fadzrin’s wedding. Akmal was so happy! Huhu. At about 7pm we went to Dalina’s to freshen up and entertaining the ever bouncy-ful Raes. The ceremony started at about 8.30pm- and the food was scrumptious and we had a chance to take some pictures with the lovely bride & groom, congratulations! I would have stayed longer if to enjoy the gamelan and keroncong performance if I wasn’t working the next day ++ enjoying the view- new muse – yet I doubt I’ll see him again J safe journey dear muse~

Currently, with some influence from Dalina, I’ve been occupying my mind with the images of Edward Cullen- he’s perfect… just the kind that I will never have- but drowning myself in the book, at least I can feel- smile, laugh and cry – it’s just feels good to know u still have feelings, and nurturing it at times gives me a chance to feel the warmth of being in love.. Maybe some people will label it as pathetic, yet there’s no harm in feeling alive, right? I just borrowed twilight and new moon from Dalina. I didn’t have the chance to buy – it’s all sold out- I’m dreaming to buy the box set- maybe it will be available next year? I hope so, I’m eager to know what happens next.

I have some happy news too! My position at work has been confirmed!! Alhamdulillah… I want to revamp my life for next year! Starting with spring cleaning and revamping my room during the Christmas holiday! Happy Awal Muharam~~~

A Confession

2008-11-09T21:55:00.004+08:00

i believe in faith
i believe everything happens for a reason

i always wonder why i am always so confused
but then, I'm confused because i wonder too much

should i let it be
should i make it be

i can't read your mind
please tell me, please

because of each smile
because of each look

each second i lost something
each second i am grateful Allah bless me with it

yet how to loose
if it is not even mine

although i kept thinking how unlucky i am in some things
i always remind myself that i have been bless in other things

i don't know how u see me
but i know how i see you

everytime i wonder if i am doing the right thing
i pray that Allah would show me the right path

I may take a longer route
I may divert a bit
But I really pray that I'll reach my destination

It may be hard
It may take time

I just hope
I'll be wiser
I'll be stronger
I'll be content

I pray that Allah will guide me
I pray that Allah will answer my prayers

intan ghazali
confession of confusion

a night @ APSH

2008-10-28T23:17:00.008+08:00

i'm currently at ampang puteri hospital with my mum, she'll undergo a tyroid operation tomorrow, though we're a bit worried due to her high blood pressure. My dad, along, abg jijoy, im my aunt and cousins had gone home. My mum had just taken a sleeping pill so that she can rest. So now i'm awake and bored... trying to watch the new seasons of heroes and still worrying bout the work that i left at the office- i've taken a replacement leave for tomorrow- and hijjas raya celebration is tomorow... sob sob.....

I had just transfered my family raya pictures, huhu... bit too late but it's ok

I'm craving to bake cupcakes... have bought the ingredients but still finding free time, + the urge to spring clean, i ironed all my wardrobe last saturday and colour coded them. I realised that i don't have any yellow, orange n green shirt... hmmm... trying to fool myself to shop?

dear, it's cold in here.... yikes...

i've lost one of the big rabbit, lulu the playful one, he;s the one who was always outside the door just waiting for a chance to ran inside and hide under the bed, he ate the most and never resist when petted. I don't know where ha went, just got out of the house compound through a hole at the gate. He's got good hearing n smell but their sight poor. He'd never went out so maybe he can't find his way back... if u ever see him, please show him the way back home. We miss u Lulu... abah , mama & im has been looking all over for you.

i'm sleepy.... gudnite everybody....

Hyper week, In slow mo...

2008-10-19T10:30:00.005+08:00

It's been a busy week, though friday felt so far. Today is already saturday... get what i mean? huhu even i dun get what i mean. Guess it's due to the lack of sleep today. Makkah team had to stay up last night for today's presentation and dicussion to the client's representatives, and my sista's kenduri doa selamat for her new house is today...and i've promised to sponsor spagetti in addition to the food she had catered (for 100 pax)...

We left the office at about 4am and Azhan gave Tina and I a lift to Terminal Putra to get to Tina's car that's park there since Rifa's car is full- with lizuan, shah and linda. I reached home at about 4.30....and start putting together the ingredients for the sauce while boiling the spagetti had a chance to sleep for bout 2 hours after subuh then wake up to cook the sauce... after having a proper breakfast with my parents- i haven't had a chance to sit and eat with em' for the whole week -

I felt bit guilty' as my mum kept saying " it's hard to look at my face even for a minute.." i know... my mum is a bit of a drama queen.. ahahaa... i always see her b4 going to work everyday, she's just a bit lonely + melancholic due to her tyroid problem, I hope she'll get better after the operation. insyaAllah. btw- i fell asleep on the couch- where i've fell asleep again b4 starting entree... yes.. i'm tired - i was at my sista's at 10am and shah+ tina pick me up at putraville at bout 11- since we had to go to the office again by request-so i miss the kenduri- reach office by 12pm.....did some pretending works, and left the office again at 3.30pm to go to Alynn's open house- which we got lost due to the fact that there are more than one, jaya jusco, mcD and caltex in sri kembangan and cheras area... uhuhuhu... at last found our way after 2 hours (where linda was suggesting we can reach muar and makan2 raye at her house at that time) sit for just bout an hour and i took us another 2 hours to reach gombak... man... it's open house season... and we have three more tomorrow- all in the outskirts of KL- shah alam-damansara-cheras selatan... need a proper plan and rest...
but i'm still hyper-

so i'm going to share some of the photos taken when i went back to terengganu on 3rd day of raya. We had a family gathering on my dad's side of the familykeluarga Allahyarham Hj. Abdullah & Hjh. Che Nik (the picture is purposely uploaded small due to some reason....)

I also went to Pantai Teluk Kalong! Seronoknyeeeee

Selamat Hari Raya
Maaf Zahir & Batin

to all my friends from
schooldays- SMKGS- Batch84
MCIIUM Batch 2002
KAEDians
Beloved pointSIXers
Beloved Hijjasettes

May Allah bless this ending of Ramadan and beginning of Syawal with a new beginning, a more meaningful life filled with ibadah for here and the hereafter.

I heart all of you!
I am so happy, i'm having a great holiday, though it's just been 4 days of spring cleaning the house, cooking and doing errands... It feels good spending some time with family after 4 months of non stop mental torment... ahahaa... i can laugh it out now... alhamdulillah.. i've been praying for the right solution wondering whether i've made the right actions, requesting to change team and insyaAllah, i'd be in peace now & I hope to work with baraqah and smiles.

For me, work is ibadah, thus it is important to have a pleasent working circle. When you do your work without peace in mind then although how hard you work and try to make everything work, it is so tiring and there is always the question whether my work is blessed. When working, this is always in my mind, Islam is so comprehensive thus we have relate it to our daily life there is an answer to everything, "Wasatiah"as a way of life, balance. I won't work as i've sold my soul to the devil and I won't take my work lightly. We work with responsibility, and as a Muslim we hold to our amanah. If you hate your work, you have to seek alternative, make it better, or seek for betterment. InsyaAllah, "rezeki yang halal ada di mana-mana"

There is alot of things for me to learn about, but this is the basic foundation. I pray that Allah would always guide me through and I'd pray for you too. May Allah bless all of us + bless me with a suitable companion for my journey, insyaAllah...

hope to see you all soon-
since i'm planning for a makan-makan raye :)
salams....

Hola friends!

It's been few month since my last update- due to my state of computerless, idealess, emotionless spastic hectic life after thesis...

I've start work- shifting from "tak berpendapatan" to "pokai akhir bulan"... i don't know which is worst.. with great power comes great resposibility- ight! Although i'm not working in a 'content & happy state due undisputable no chemistry with my superior- i love the ganks- owh yeah- i'm working at the company where i had my practical training- just can't resist working with' em= huhu...

Life's been just -OK- 20 minutes walk to klcc- 5 minutes walk to pavilion- movies- window shopping- silent surveying... eheheee... I miss all the pointSIXers! we're planning to have a sleepover bbq at janda baik on 16th August after picking up the convo robes! yayyy- another convo- heard we'll be wearing the new convo robes+ this time with hats! Our convo is on 23rd August 2008- the evening session. Photos! photos!

I've just found out that- Sisterhood of the travelling pants 2 is coming out in August- but i'm not sure if they'll screen it out in Malaysia as it wasn't listed at GSC ...

By the way- i'll be blogging my mind out again with the help of my luvly pinky!

have a nice weekend everyone!

Life in slow-mo~

2008-02-21T11:02:00.005+08:00

Living in the studio for design thesis~ the scale of contradiction

As cold as the antartic during midday
As hot & suffocating as a bunker in weekends

As comfy as a home, everything in hand's reach
As stressful as a small office cubicle

As sound asleep as on a bed, the three chairs stack together
As tiring as 19 hours of daily work routine

As complete as a kitchen, the undertable pantry ]
As pathetic as eating on drawings

As leasuring as watching movies all day
As binding as a jail cell, the guilt of not working

As heaven, as hell
Kick ASs Every Day....

the pass few weeks we've been working and working and working...
yet there's nothing much done
lack of momentum
lack of motivation
to much of mental block
to much of stressing
body getting weaker due to shift in daily life-

this is my daily routine...pathetic & lame life...
wake up, shower around 8.30am+
go straight to KAED, unhealthy breakfast 9.30am+
sit in front of the monitor 10am-1pm
lunch 1pm-1.30pm
sit in front of the monitor again (+break zuhur, asar) 2pm-6.30pm
back to room, shower,eat, maghrib,nap,isyak till 9pm
sit in front of the monitor again and again and again 9.30pm-3am
sleep....like a tree trunk (sometimes wakeup subuh 7am) 4.00am-8.30am

activities- sit in front of the monitor includes, work, internet & small media player screen.

but i always- give myself a day off,usually on saturday nights & usually spent sleeping at home...

Though last week Salman & I attend a BBQ at Kak Dalina's since Uder made it compulsory for ex-hijjas to attend ..Aishah pick us up at KAED and I had some updates on the latest hotCe all the way to shah alam... with salman sleeping at the backseat..We had a hard time starting the fire... then most of the chicken 'rentung'...in the ending, the BBQ was done under an umbrella to shelter the chickens from the heavy rain brought about by the evil witch.... hehehehee...

Cherishing Student Life@08

2008-01-12T10:26:00.000+08:00

Since it's our last semester as students, some entries on student life is due essential~ heee... First, some intro- i'm a 5th year student, no i'm not a medic student.. I'm in the final year for my second degree... now, it gets complicated? hee... okay- the explaination After SPM, through UPU form- i was accepted to IIUM Matriculation, under Architecture and Environmental Design Department- different from government matriculation as it's specialized foundation program, so you won't go to far of reach, i did one year in MCIIUM in PJ (depend on course 1-2years)- best time of my life since the campus is central PJ- still missing it!

It is from there u apply either to pursue architecture, landscape architecture, urban & regional planning, quantity surveying, or applied arts in the Main Campus (Gombak)- based on your result and studio portfolio. In June 2004, we moved to Gombak- and in my case went back to Gombak for our degree. Architectural Degree is different as the other courses is only 4 year, while we do 3+2, The first part is Bachelor of Science in Architectural Studies (Part I accredited by LAM) and the second part is Bachelor of Architecture (Accreditation process in May 08). During the first part, there was 86 in our batch- the PointSIXers...but only 27 pursue the second part- as we had to apply, be evaluated and interviewed.

The other pointSIXers took different paths, going for the second degree or masters in other universities in Malaysia & abroad , working in various fields and some are even teaching, we are a hectic bunch! hehe~ Even after this 5 year programme, we still can't be called Proffesional Architect, just Graduate Architects.. you have to go for PART III; with working experience for about 3-5 years + the part III exam + interview- if you pass, then you'll have the Ar. title in your name..(if not you can take it as many time as u like- some took it 4-5 times), with great title comes great responsibility- lifetime responsibility- an Ar's signature is like akad nikah.. ahaha... susah per- commitment till death do us part

It's been a short-6 years, as we enjoyed each moment together and closely tied as siblings +++ the work, eat, sleep, and play routine in the studio made us a big happy family. I can't imagine life without them around- Now we are the super seniors of our batch left in KAED. Even looking at the new hunks on campuss we know that we are the noonim (big sister in korean) hehee...

Soup Night
Adda and I went to the night market
Bought some vege
and cooked this soup for dinner
in the 15year old rice cooker
that had gone to China (during heritage study)
decided to throw in the noodles
It was yummy!

Last night was Gal's Night again, we didn't plan in advance... Just had to have a night out, started a bit lame- there was only Adda and I since tina went home- but then decided to go to Jung Won Korean Restaurant in Ampang again! yeay~ i had been craving for kimchi n got it! hikss.. ate Korean BBQ & Kimchi Soup...after filled up- drove through KL night scene.. Not such a lame night after all... didn't stay up at studio last night- read a novel entitled- H.R.H till 4.30 am...

Hello 2008!

2008-01-02T09:21:00.000+08:00

The six of us had a new year celebration dinner... just a simple outing at NZ..- ate Chicken chop- but i think the egg house's chicken steak is still better... It's been a wonderful year with our small family, 27 of us living as siblings in our personal crib way up here on the KAED fourth floor...

Adda, Tina & Aina
with the kerang rebus

Me & Adda
with the ABC

Shima loving her teh O ais laici

I just let midnite pass watching Coffee Prince (korean drama)... while we can hear the fireworks from the studio... I admit life is lame... Maybe i'd celebrate Awal Muharam (10th January) better :)

On new year's day, I went to Dayana's engagement ceremony, Nabila, Husna, Nad & I head out early to help with her preparation. We were classmates during form 4 & 5, though i've know nabila since our primary schooldays :)

Dayana is studying in Japan and i haven't seen her since last day of school, she's looks thinner- she said it's due to her daily tofu diet, but inside she's still our puteri berhati rakyat ;)

Dayana looks so pretty on her engagement day.It was a shock to hear that yesterday was her first time meeting Haitham- her now fiancee~ in person, since he's an egyptian studying in germany- he was certainly swept by the beautiful dayana today.... hikss... so sweet...

Too much korean drama and all the love around is making me dizzy.... hoping for my own fairytale.. dream on babe~

New Year Countdown~~

2007-12-31T15:24:00.001+08:00

It's bout 9 hours to a new year, some would spend it with loved ones, family, friends- or just plainly let the hours pass in the studio.. lame life, it's a choice- It's time for a new resolution- thus i can't remember this year resolution... Adda n I are going for a healthier life- enough sleep- eat right n exercise... easy to say that done... With the yo-yo lifestyle, it's easy to drift away and be lost in the tormenting life of fast food, strees eating and sleep disorder... ++ i'd add to be a better Muslim in my resolution..

I don't go for too high expectations, normally- an aquarius prefer to go with the flow than changing it's course... yet, anything can happen in a year- i just hope it's better than last year. It's also a glinch since i'd be january... use to love it- feeling older... now just wish my skin have zero-gravity effects? my o my... have to start wearing anti-wrinkle product-preventive measure.. highly recommended for archi gal (not enough beauty sleep)

Anyway, x-officemates from hkas are planning to celebrate new year at Promet rooftop, so i've heard, i'm not sure i'm joining since uia curfew is at midnite so i won't have anywhere to bunk ++ tomorrow a school fren of mine, Dayana- is getting engaged so i'm not planning to stay up late tonite. Maybe we'd celebrate at KAED rooftop :P

We've received the Design Thesis Evaluation Guidelines today and i'm have jitters... our first crit is on 17th Jan 2008... yikes.. complete design & cost estimate... i'm going to be dead meat.... I've just change my building plan... though i've finish the 3D model of the first scheme... are you mad Intan???? ARGHHHHHHhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Mou sukoshi....mou sukoshi....
Ya Allah...please give me strength... positive...positive...positive....
Change topic... i don't like this topic...
Okay.... Deep breath...

Since it's december... i think i'd update my wishlist for 2008 :P

Sony T2 Cam- Pink

MP3 - old one busted

FM modulator - since the cassette player is stuck n the car aerial is loose

2 piece Kingston DDR 512mb ram

Provocative Interlude - Elizabeth Arden

Za- 2-way compact powder refill (21)

Elianto brush set- the black one~

L'oreal Revitalift Stater pack set ++ the eye cream for the panda eyes

Grad trip to Bali / Bangkok

Materialistic nye... hiks... money cam make people happy right?
(refer to htttp://sekejapje.blogspot.com)

Anyway, i'd like to wish everybody

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2008!!!

May all of us have a better year, a more positive outlook of life and good health, Amin....

Unrest~

2007-12-24T11:14:00.001+08:00

I don't feel good,

i am angry that i can't do anything to help,
i am angry to the person who borrowed money from my parents and haven't paid a cent in return
i am angry that the person is making stupid excuses now thus before this he was making a stupid fuss to kill himself 4 being in debt
i am sad that i can't do anything to help now
i am sad for my family when i see the account statement today
i am sad that my father have to go through all of this when he is in age where he should be content in life and rest
i am sad that people kept taking advantage from other people as
i am sad that he lets them do it to him

i am so angry that i can't help
i hate this feeling
I am tired of waiting for a better day, dreaming that everything will be as it was

I've move my workstation to KAED for the last two weeks- such an unlucky day to move- the lift was out of service so i had to carry my 19inch Flat screen monitor (no budget for a LCD) and my huge CPU four levels up- yikes, what a work out... Now, settling down and starting to follow the work hour routines 9 am- 5pm, bit of jogging or swimming in the evening and resume work 9pm-1am... i NEED a LIFE!!!! well, my entertainment windows are still up when i'm doing cad or drafting... heroes, pushing daisies, gray's anatomy, CSI, moviess... hehee..

I've watch The Golden Compass with Imran, just my type of movie- like it alot and can't wait for the next movie~ ++ craving for popcorns- GSC's is certainly better than TGV's... last Friday Adda, Aina & I went to Times Square in our conquest for a book ' Growing up in Trengganu by Awang Goneng' - for Adda's mum, found it in Borders. Unfortunately, the next day my mum wanted the same book, n MPH JJ was sold out- so have to wait a week for the order.. I, in the other hand have been involving in Mary Balogh books... Emon's the supplier.. hee.. Have read Slightly Married & Slightly Wicked- 2 days for a book.. results- dark circles- i'm a panda due to these romance books! aiyo...

13th December was along's birthday- Happy 31st Birthday Along! i've bought her present in advance- a pair of black peep toes shoes -while mine are white- we're a pair of shoeHolics sisters~ in theory, we've declared it's genetics - coz my mum is a true shoeszenbagHolic... hehehee... I have seen along since her birthday, today is abg long bro's wedding- abah, mama & im went to Tapah for the kenduri- so i sent birthday cupcakes i made yesterday -

Mirzam, Adda and I went to Rantai Art Exhibition, near Pelita Nasi Kandar (KLCC) sketches, graphics arts and photography - tooks some pictures for you to enjoy!

Cute figure - made using plastersines- i'm not sure if the spelling's right
I like the second one best, the little girl with stubby hands as well as the third with the VW van, adda liked the yellow one~

The first thought when we saw the cubehead is Bashier- hikess.. they looked so alike.. stylewise of coz.. i like the whole setting, the sketches are so fine, although mostly doodles- certainly mind filling--

I watched The Holiday on HBO today, Jude Law is just so delicious.... hehe a light movie, but i like the meaningful words brought forward by Kate Winslet character...you'd have to watch it since i can't remember the exact words- what do you aspect from a hopeless romantic? it's the meaning that is left in the heart - Da~~

More baking & cooking...

2007-12-05T16:14:00.000+08:00

Vanilla & devil's food cupcakes

Last Sunday i baked a trays of cupcakes for my studiomates~ The butter cream icing was better than last time- since was already tired- the colours turn out to be a bit vibrant- i actually prefer pastel colours. Somebody told me that when you get to a certain age- it's scary to eat colourful food- sorry! hehehe...

I you enjoyed em' even eating the cakes without the icing is enough- it's just that i love decorating em- if it doesn't rot i'd framed each of em- or stick it on the wall... i just ate 1- everytime i bake.. ikha seems to like it :P

Anyway- my dad been supporting my interest- he thinks i should open a cafe or bakery, at least i can design my own shop ;) i've so many ambitions- florist-baker-beautician... where should i put my ambition to be an architect? hehee... is it therE?

My dears are all grown up~

2007-11-30T13:57:00.000+08:00

Bubu and Lulu are only 7 months old, yet they've grown double their size and and geeting more fierce.. But they certainly can't resist bread and beans- hiks, sometimes miss the smaller version of the bunnies - since they were more huggable...

+++ lulu & bubu when we first bought them
( two weeks before i went for practical training)

Now, as abah call em' bread and beans, they are joyful enough to hop around the lawn, dig holes and playing in the rain.

BUBU likes to eat bread, don't like to be touch, and always the one who runs the marathon around the house when it's time to go in their pondok. But he still likes the camera-

Bubu the miner have dug 4 holes in the lawn- each bout 1-3 metres long
Bubu the explorer also have run out the gate and went exploring the neighbourhood before running back home when chased by a cat
One fine day- bubu grazed a spot of grass in the lawn to fill the hole he dug

While the bean- LULU, loves being pet and eats a lot, always fall for food traps- can you tell the difference between bubu n lulu? bubu have a full ring up it's back while lulu have a white line between the eyes.

Lulu loves to eat- when we bought him- im took the rabbit sitting in the food pan - no wonder?
Lulu only eats kangkung leaves- the stalks? not a favourite
We though lulu was a she- then we thought its a he - till know i'm still not sure - so i just call em- 'gay rabbits'

Do you think bubu and lulu are gay rabbits?

Dumpling or Gyoza?

2007-11-26T23:34:00.000+08:00

I had a craving for dumpling- as it is called during our visit to xi'an china- some time ago- the dumpling was simple- filled with meat- either mutton, beef or chicken + ginger and vinegar-
Xi'anese really like vinegar- the dumplings where boiled and eaten with black vinegar+chilly oil dip- eikk... (above was the dumplings we ate in xi'an)

experiment 261107 : Chicken dumplings

Been a while since i've made wanton @ dumpling @ gyoza
used to fried em with fish filling- this time i tried using minced chicken + longbeans + carrots + 'sengkuang' + a twist of ginger-for the experiment today- i steamed some of the dumplings & some are fried - frankly, the fried ones are better as they have better texture- the steam ones are a bit dry, maybe better if eaten with soup-

++++these were the dumplings that i made

Did you know that the Japanese Gyoza, originated from china?

but gyoza is mainly fried, not boiled - and they usually use prawn or fish for the filling

Wanton- is different in shape- like a money bag - some are fried or put in soup usually eaten with wanton mee- even dimsum is in the same family as the basic dumpling

Cupcakes Madness~~

2007-11-25T22:22:00.000+08:00

I'm been occupied for the holidays...
No... i'm not updating anything on my thesis... haven't touch a single inch of it..
I feel guilty for not doing so. Thou i've been helping wy dad with a project... it's still endless nights of work for me during the holiday... while occupying any glimpse of free time with baking~ hiks...

I tried a recipe of lemon merigue pie after watching bree baking it in desperate housewives. Made some triffle - the raspberry jelly layered with strawberry swiss rolls and custard. Last night i made cake batik and Cupcakes! it turns out lovely, i didn't have the heart to eat them, but the icing wasn't as nice as last time- the cakes was yummy as i used some yougurt in the mixture- taste a bit like kenny roger's muffin.. hehehe

how does it look? i saw a program on discovery some time ago about a food photographer, she took pictures for cookbooks and she had a project on cupcakes there was bee cupcakes, billard balls, rainbows and even a highrise skyline shoot- it triggered my cupcakes madness- at last i have the time to experiment! i feel so good~~ i'll bake another batch for any of your birthdays kay> insya-Allah

"Kembara Finale" - a final point to a new start

2007-11-19T22:47:00.000+08:00

A new chapter to the blog

Firstly- a summary of explaination I just didn't have the heart to blog

Everything i wanted to say ends up in my head- lost while waiting for an internet connection - not a problem anymore since i've just sign up for maxis broadband- wakaka.. It's just easier to express your thoughts when you feel content- and i haven't been so for a while, life been hectic. I can make a point- that have nothing to do with the above

"love is only applicable when it is two sided - i've been like-ing not loving"

So i like some guys- from time to time- i'm entitled to- i'm single -

The more time i have the faster it flies- though moving fast forward, my heart is stuck in pause- guess there's nothing to write when u are cheating yourself to live one side of your life. I hereby start this new chapter, to feel again- Experiment 1= I just love myself!

Labour of architecture...

2007-05-02T00:30:00.000+08:00

Happy Labour Day! This year, i qualify as one... though it's only been a week. I'm happy! First day was a bit scary, didn't know what to expect, alhamdullillah it went on just fine, yay~ i'm still in transition mode- observing, getting to know em'. My best experience would be experiencing 'morning'. It's nice to be an enthusiast morning person rather than waiting for morning to get to bed. I now get up at 6.30am to catch the 7am lrt... the walk through klcc park is the BEST- i'll reach the office bout 8 and have my morning coffee & head start on work. Not that it's have an effect on the amount of work but a reason to be lost in the mounted responsibilities, keeping me sane. As walking to work when the shops is still closed and walking back when the shops are already closed isn't a good sign either. Life dominated by routines. It's not right yet it's not wrong.

Would I want this? or that? Choices...choices... today, i choose not to do my topical study yet- infact i spent halfday window shopping with my sister trying to find a 'click' handbag for mama's birthday- we failed and settle for some clinique cosmetics... fussy shoppers filled with a plank of fresco pizza ...++ I got a new handbag~

OWh~ the reunion! started with me being outrageously mad at some sissies that think that they are so 'macho'- the plan- 2 game of bowling -the organizer is shaliz- da~ it figures- at last i met kak izzah, missing her a lot- had lunch and did some shopping- only bout 27 out of 88 pointSIXers showed up. Mana kamu semua ya?

Tomorrow i should do my topical- should-the day after tomorrow- i have to work- yay~ it's more fun to work than to finish up my topical study. I like.....

Catcity, in memory...

2007-04-18T17:40:00.000+08:00

Tina and I spent the whole journey home reminiscing Kuching, Feeling emotive to leave, as it’s so peaceful there… no worries…& ++… as we board the plane- it struck me- “tina, saya nak balik Kuching” – flying back to reality is not a choice I favour. My first impression of Kuching - As far sighted- no dominant feature frame the view of the city thus at view - illusion that we are in a floating distant land. Razi, awang, salman n meg were at the airport waiting. Awang drove tina & I – introducing us to Cat city- Our first stop, would be Razi’s home- for the gals (where a lot of accidents @ ‘tulah’ happened) while the guys bunked at awang’s-

1st night in Kuching- dinner at Saddad Court (razi’s uncle’s restaurant) followed by a stroll along the waterfront + cruise along the river dlm penambang- supper at benteng (katenye best mee kolok?) – Ok ja-

2nd day- sunny side up! The gals head up first with Razi & Amir for a morning dosage of Laksa Sarawak- first attempt- best! – We visited the new Sarawak Stadium coz ajil is doing a study on stadiums- then off to the waterfront again for the gals- did some shopping; we went through all the small shops up to Tun Jugah while waiting for the guys (Friday prayers) –in the evening- went to DBKU, a panoramic view of Kuching- nice! - Then off to the library- I had a misunderstanding- why are we going to a library? Ne… heee- to feed the fishes... loads of em- lazy fishies waiting to be fed with freshly baked breads… had a candlelight dinner at the other side of the waterfront- then Razi & Amir drove the gals ghost-hunting (kononnyela) while the guys head back to awang’s to freshen up b4 their futsal game… outcome- the only effected was Tina with her bloody dreams;p

3rd day- as always, the guys were late so the gals head up to rojak kucei for breakfast (nyaman~@sedap) it’s a bit odd to pick up sarawakians vocab- just learnt some of it- I didn’t try so since I’d tend to speak Indon…Lunch at sugarbun- some sort of franchise food chain in Sarawak that served all kind of food. Next stop- pasar minggu (did I get this right, amnesia?) bought a wooden kitty and some souvenirs. Head back to Razi’s early since we’re having a bbq~ chicken-soto-potato-sosej-fish- razi also invited some of his friends. We bunk in early- tired… the guys when to watch some drag racing-

4th day- complot- the gals wake up early, razi n auntie drive us to Semenggoh Wildlife Centre- a chance to see a real life orang-utan. Back to Saddad for lunch, met with the guys n off to Damai- 30minutes drive from Kuching- a day at the beach- played amateur beach volleyball- swim-stroll- a captivating vista of santubong- my favourite activity, enjoying the misty ocean breeze facing the open sea- a piece of earthly heaven.

5th day- after breakfast, Shim & I went for a swim- end up with flushed cheeks n a pocketful of sand- we just love the waves. Check out and of to the cultural village, wrong timing- since we have to rush through the houses to catch the cultural performance- had fun at the melanau house- hiks- embarrassing moment at the performance- duhh… Stop at Damai look out spot for a drink while waiting for amir & alan to pick us up- Dinner at Saddad and ‘pusing-pusing roundabout-roudabout Kuching tgk rumah-rumah” since it’s our last night in Kuching- specially requested- mee kolok benteng- then head home to packup.

6th day- last day, rojak kucei again! Heee… went to satok- for UITM –usahawan ikan terubuk masin… the guys head to the waterfront to shop while we went to tun jugah for a drink. We then sent ikha, shim, adda, emon n zam to the airport since their fight is at 1325 while ours is at 1735. Razi treat us to a lunch at KGS, then off to batu 7, to pick up Mahdi’s tikar n for me to buy a tikar for shim. On the way to the airport, pitstop at taman sahabat, a nice park- snapped some photos with tina.

Balit naik belon…

Takkan lupa nyaman laksa Sarawak, mee kolok & rojak kucei

Naik moto jalan-jalan, lalu dua tiang putih

Favourite spot emon- flyover pertama Kuching

Tingkap razi yang berjase

Anjing yang suka makan kasut

Lawak gambir gmin

Nasi goreng manok? Malu sey~

Thank you to razi, amir, wan, alan the A4’s - that was gracious enough to withstand the these 14 culprits… kecoh in Kuching- a journey embraced

One day I’ll be back!

peace & quiet...

2007-04-11T00:43:00.000+08:00

I've been occupied with self sentences- on Sunday, which i tot i'd spend lazily at home took a turn with a morning call by miss axeem- she was my dazzle in distress as she needs a co-pilot guiding her to bb, buying drum sticks for the moonman...a slight change in plan- she pick me up in bangsar- bring me to her house in pj- to pick up afi and pojam(the driver) -go to bb to buy 2 sets of drumsticks- eat at nando's OU- then she drop me off at LRT kelana jaya.. what a long trip...fuh...Anyway- i luv the red drumsticks... haaaa....

Monday- whole day at CBE with ecah, finishing the compilation of the conference & workshop presentation...another weight released! yeah! insyaAllah... the result- a program material as thick as 2 phone directory stacked~ gigih....

I've start packing for Sarawak- 7 days trip- our flight is on thursday- 3.25pm..Spent the day relaxing at home & chasing the bunnies (goin' to miss em loads), i saw it yawn* so cute-..

Today, I had a moment of confusion, and I turn to His answers...

A random flip of the Qur'an

Surah:26.Ash-Shu'ara' (1-9)

1. Ta, Seen, Meem.

2. These are the verses of the clear Book.

3. Perhaps, [O Muhammad], you would kill yourself with grief that they will not be believers.

4. If We willed, We could send down to them from the sky a sign for which their necks would remain humbled.

5. And no revelation comes to them anew from the Most Merciful except that they turn away from it.

6. For they have already denied, but there will come to them the news of that which they used to ridicule.

7. Did they not look at the earth - how much We have produced therein from every noble kind?

8. Indeed in that is a sign, but most of them were not to be believers.

9. And indeed, your Lord - He is the Exalted in Might, the Merciful.

Alhamdulillah...

Bunnies to cure the heart...

2007-04-06T22:39:00.000+08:00

Will everything be alright?

Sometimes, we think that we are strong...most of the time we think wrong..

Sometimes, we feel that it is reality...normally we are caught in fantasy...

Seldom when we let go... we wonder how would it go if we didn't

Seldom when we say... we wonder what if we kept silent

Smiling to distract myself, convincing me that i am good enough

Hoping my love can blind myself for who i am

Believing that i am happy, i am lucky

I am not sure that i'll be okay yet i will try to distract myself

I don't feel great- yet i'm still standing - Alhamdulillah, i'm not stuck anymore, the suffocating feeling is gone, a feeling of relief. Tq dear axeem 4 being there. Please pray for me. May Allah bless me with peace and happiness.

Encik..thank you for being my strength and my smile. I'm sorry, i can't help it. I'm not heartless. Though I prayed for a straight path, i might stop once or twice at the roadside along the way. The joyous times in life are found in small things. Alhamdullilah i know i can feel.

Boyd the Chikang pass away....

2007-04-05T00:08:00.000+08:00

I've lost the heart to write for a while now. Got caught in my hectic life- even days goes by faster with me stuck in moments. Inspiration to write has run dry since i wonder less, all of it loss as i strive to finish what i've started, squeezing some life into my work habits. I'm tired. where's the spark that i had before. Is this imaginary wall causing such dread.

Strolling through OU with ecah and salman earlier today, i said it "this should be my holiday" i had a blast, thinking of nothing - yet something lingers aroud, and now i am home again, hoping to firewall all this feelings. It was easier last night when I had my life in control. I had work to be done.

A semester's work had pass by, although the project was not to our favour- it was ok. i'm satisfied with the work that i've done although i didn't put all my heart in designing it- thus i deserve my B. I even had some down moment when there was so much to be done, alhamdulilah- i manage to finish everything in time. + all the sewel moments i spend talking to the late boyd the chikang & zen the cat...

My topical study topic has taken a late turn so now i have to add larger scope in context of wards layout and lighting. aiyaaaa--- and this part time job has been taking my nights and days... having me driving back n forth to PJ...

I can't wait for our Sarawak Wildlife Adventure-who's the wildlife? 12 culprits loose in kuching 12th-17th april.. heee.. i love travelling! far...further..sky is the limit.. in the mean time we have to settle for this due to the tight budget... maybe later i can go back with nadia to bangkok?... my sis & I are planning a secnd trip to bandung, insyaAllah... save money~~~

A studioful of us went to Genting Themepark last week- to release our 'tensi n sangapness' after a semester of unmerciful hard work. I scream my heart out on the space shot and the superman thing- it wasn't terrifying of such, just felt like it. 'i had a moment- up on the space shot, i felt like i can touch the clouds, everything was brighter and beautiful- that was before we fell in a milisecond- We covered all the thrill rides but the corkscrew was closed for maintainence.. duh....maybe next time- genting was fun- with the crowd.

I'm stuck- there's a feeling that is stuck- in my chest and i can't let it out or swallow it- argh- "hanged in the clouds yet tied to the ground"

Lies

2007-03-31T23:22:00.000+08:00

Lying to yourself, is it a sin?

It's easier to lie, than to show

by lying i've save my pride & the situation from an awkward feeling

it's on my safe spot, it's suppose to be comforting

but i loose, i'm the loser...

by lying i don't dare to look into those eyes

by lying i'm tearing myself apart

i've lost my moments...

my last moments...

it's easier to lie

your presence does not complete me

your smile don't brighten my days

you are not who i think of each day

you are not facinating in your own world

you are not the one i've been learning for the last 10 months

I hope that i can believe my lies and forget...

Thank you, and i'm sorry m not perfect.

a point to ponder...

I'm going back to campus today since we're going to port dickson tomorrow for our strictly ladies weekend gateway... some of the programmes would include screaming to the waves, chasing the waves and lastly gethit by the waves...side activities would be pillow talk, farewell speech for nawar & fadh, motivational booster n maybe some water sports! yayy~~~

Monday, life's getting back to it's hecticness... i've taken some time off this mid term break to hibernate, since last sem break i was so busy... yet i've found out it is not in my nature to hibernate... like a topical cat trying to live a prairie rabbit's life. Just ain't me.... so been going back and forth to KAEDsince wednesday. :P

Thank you so much for the wishes.. through sms, testimonials, IMs and email :) really appreciate it! and i'm still in progress of reminding myself, how old i am..

drizzling.... i am inside...

2007-01-21T23:04:00.000+08:00

Mid term break for me!

time to unwind..catchup on my readings, spring clean my room, watch so much TV, and cook~~~ We're going to PD next weekend, gals only- yeyy! sanday beaches and ocean breeze.... It's also time to en-thangled my twisted mind...

We've bought fishies during Engitex. Tina, Adda & I, I name mine Boyd, since it's red & it reminded me of azim's boyd :P I've developed a new habit of talking to boyd...

I'm holding on to this...

I once had a friend who grew to be very close to me. Once when we were sitting at the edge of a swimming pool, she filled the palm of her hand with a little water and held it before me, and said this:

"You see this water carefully contained on my hand? It symbolizes Love." This was how I saw it: "As long as you keep your hand caringly open and allow it to remain there, it will always be there.

However, if you attempt close your fingers round it and try to possess it, it will spill through the first cracks it finds.

This is the greatest mistake that people do when they meet love... they try to possess it, they demand, they expect... and just like the water spilling out of your hand, Love will retrieve from you.

For love is meant to be free, you cannot change its nature.

If there are people you love, allow them to be free beings.

Give and don't expect.

Advise, but don't order.

Ask, but never demand.

It might sound simple, but it is a lesson that may take a lifetime to truly practice.

+Reminding Oath...

scanning for shooting stars...

2007-01-06T22:30:00.000+08:00

Ah-haaa... it's new year! I celebrated my new year by watching a neighbour firework show and falling asleep on the couch while watching star wars... I've been a sleepy head on AidilAdha, dress up with my pink kebaya & hijab & fell asleep in it, my sis even had the courtesy to snap a picture or two...

That night my schoolmates, mayo, munim, shahril & nizam drop by, catching up update bout my schoolmates, and they did complained how i'm always busy- At some point I was thinking about the classmates that i'm still in contact with, i barely have a full count. I guess only the guys made an effort to contact each other and i'm happy that they made it to my house, although it's only once a year.

Each new year for me marks how old i'm getting, yikes... i'm going to be 23- i'm so ancient.. at some times i felt guilty calling people kak, bang or pakcik when i'm buying stuff. So, i tried using dik, as a change. I for a movie on new year day with some friends, tentang bulan - it was a children movie, bout puppy love and friendship. Light movie for a laugh.

Life getting busier, submitted the group concept masterplan & yesterday he asked for individual masterplan... so tomorrow i'm going back early to kickstart on my masterplan & finish my tourism development plan for kelantan & terengganu region (2005-2010) Topical Study also needs some update, since madam will be back next week.

My muse-ing is getting back on track. I'm so yo-yo....

Salam Aidiladha

The other day a blood donation campaign was held at the IIUM mosque, i was so excited to see it, isn't it freaky? i guess some adneralin rush would help this miserable week. I was feeling slow, low and sleepy...

Maybe that's how an addict feels during rehab? a smoker trying to quit? ?

Geez... i guees i'm a musing -addict. It has only been 7 months, but it's hard to deny it. it's like a war in my between my head & my heart.

It's in difficult times we'd feel closer to HIM, looking up and hoping for guidance and strength to stand tall. I regret for being forgetful sometimes.

Surgamu -ungu

Segala yang ada dalam hidupku

Kusadari semua milik-Mu

Kuhanya hamba-Mu yang berlumur dosa

*Tunjukan aku jalan lurusku

Tuk menggapai surga-Mu

Terangiku dalam setiap langkah hidupku

Karena kutahu Hanya Kau Tuhanku

Allahu Akbar Allah Maha Besar

Kumemuja-Mu di setiap waktu

Hanyalah pada-Mu tempatku beteduh

Memohon ridho dan ampunan-Mu

I'm having a downturn, i want to slow down, i want to sleep, i want to walk slow and let time pass by, 11 credit hour- what should i do, my heart have revenge. Separating my life ain't going to be easy this semester, i'm trapped.

How would I learn from someone i dislike. It was not my intention, he brought it up to himself. I don't know how to make him stop. Although I've put up a face, he still don't get it. I've said it subtle-ly, it's not funny- he had to make it worst by asking if I was mad. Just apoint to be highlighted, for me- i'm consious and when people start to say how fat i am it does not stop with the words. I goes through because i know, i feel, and you don't have to make it worst by reminding me. I like who i am and how i am but you are ruining my life. Because I've started to believe again, that I don't like who I am. I've gone through this during highschool. Didn't thought that people in university would be as shallow. One thing is leading to another...

This is a bad beginning for a semester

I'm tired of hoping, sometimes I just need some hope

When we're in the dark, Allah grace always shines through.

flowers are beautiful...

i have to work...work..work....
It's odd not having classes all through the week.. with only 12 credit hour what shall i do?
Found myself in front of the computer in +clueless mode

I had a joy ful weekend... with nothing to worry about yet i miss the pointSIX gathering on sunday... my greatest apology to azim, fadh, Pa, hanis.. etc for my absent... due to some family matters..

I was watching Grey's Anatomy... & it was what shah said struck me... how it relates to me.. being here.. an Architecture Student? last night i was wondering what am I going to do in 2 years time? there are a list of possibility and as i see it open i'm caught in the middle within what i want to do, what i love to do and what expect me to do.

I want to finish what i've started. I want to be a professional architect. I have an obligation to fulfill this, as my dad change his plan to stop practising and settle down because of me. I'm scared. As it is a huge thing for me. My dad is already in his 60's and nothing i want more rather than he doing thing he wants to do. Yet he's struggling to maintain the company... with the financial problems our family is facing. I'm stoned. I can't do much. I love the adventure. My dad never did encourage me, even try talking me out of it. I want to finish this.

I love to cook, I love to makes things beautiful. I want to be a florist, I want to open a kindergarten, I can open a SPA (as adda says it) This is my backup, for me to settle down. If I had a choice and i'm not here. I'll be there. I've been in business since i was 7, I sold sketches for my friends to color and shiny beads i cut from a broken necklace. I still have the passion for business till now. Ain't for the money but it feels good!

Well... back to work for me, I'm going to FRIM with me groupmates to for research on R&D facilities for our proposed Biotechnology Complex and i'm going to Langkawi again on thursday night till monday... YEY! for the the beautiful beaches and chocolates

Gurls day out! Love the outing with Azim & Madin, thanks gals.. really brings back the 'feel'...ain't the same without you 2~heheee... went to PC fair... bought a cooler-as planned & a cute pink mouse for my sis.. azim & madin kept diverting me so i won't stop at the booths.. as azim says it- 'i'm starting to shop for my com instead of myself....HELP!!!

Watched 'Cinta' - a heart warming story + + bring ur tissues...lucky madin brought a handful to share with azim... i'd rather let my tears flow & dry out... the movie makes us craved our own love story... Love isn't always about a guy & a gal... it's also about family and friends.

I'm confused whether i've been caring or loving... yet for me it is hard to care if the person you care for kept questioning and having doubts bout our care and feeling pity for themselves by expressing that nobody loves them.. at you, whose been caring for him.... When will he grow up?

1- So guys, please... when a gal cares for you it doesn't always mean they love you. Can't we just care?

2- When somebody seldomly says that they love you, believe- as love is not measured by how many times you say it.

3- You can't force somebody to love you because you love them. It's -stupid- because it's like asking them to cheat on you & her/himself

4- Never assume that someone you like already have a gf/bf... just asked somebody or know him or her first.... no point of losing before joining the game.

5- Life is like a book you plan the structure and it's up to you to write through... it's not a movie script that you write and follow through

gawd of death only eats apples...

2006-11-28T23:41:00.000+08:00

result's out... weng chikidy chikidy weng..... only manage to get a B+ for design & research method... 2 B-minuses & yg tergezut dpt A for building economics...have I been lazy? maybe it's for being too sleepy for the whole sem... Or maybe lack of momentum... i miss axeem n madin :( 3.15???????

need to start coffee addicting myself again... need to work harder...need to dream less...need to spend this holiday like the world is goin to end so that start sem- no playing around....need to consider bout the part time job...need to hope less, need to ask moreee....

a good friend of mine is describing me as protective and rational.... while my mum sees me as fierce & boyish... and i'm still wondering in what sense am i protective.. somebody have a clue to help clueless me?

spend whole day at KLCC today... browsing around in kinokuniya, finally watching Deathnote *5/5 star rating from me* ... buying some birthday presents... eat....eat... eat... I'd also recommend On & Off King's Road at Gallery Petronas... I like how the artist explored various colour combination & layering techniques... though his sketches wasn't so *WAH*....

tomorrow goin to times square with cuzinsa & me bro... wanna watch happy feet and shop for pirated softwares at low yat! haaa....++ PC fair is on 30th... here I come!!

The rain makes it clear...

2006-11-22T21:20:00.000+08:00

Spent whole day at IBS exhibition, Akademi Binaan Malaysia, Jln Chan Sow Lin... & had a short basic course for Revit... hehehe.... + dpt trial CD... Going again tomorrow (maybe)... i'm looking after the IIUM booth... Thought if would be bo-ring yet it wasn't so, informative.. just not the right venue...

I had time to think a lot during holidays... I wondered a lot... dozens of questions... if, should, would it, why did I, what was I thinking, what would happen if... most bout my life that i've put apart for the whole sem... as I load myself with work.... Bits and pieces I wanted to forget...

Today I was wondering why, going back through my memories of MRMY, I can't remember any of the bad things that happened, I was only left with the happy memories - the lovely feeling I felt. Although it is questionable whether it was true or just a 'drama'. I'm left with capture moments and it made me wondered again whether i'd feel it again someday.

I won't deny, how he cared for me made me care for myself. Maybe I just need to be reminded that I can love myself... I was fooled... I hate holidays~~~~~~~

This is me in +mode hopeless romantic so don't pay any attention to what i'm saying!

I love white orchids...

2006-11-21T18:12:00.000+08:00

It it the holidays? I'm still digesting the reality that I have only10 days left to hybernate... minus the days to work on the project summary that MUST be submitted when sem 2 commence... EIk.. suddenly reminded -exam results- certainly would brighten my day -NOPE-

Five days in Shah Alam wasn't as sweet as i thought- left me feeling so -****- had a coincidence with he person that I hoped I wouldn't see again for the rest of my life... left me briefly enhance your knowledge of SARS - Shah Alam Relationship Sindrom.. established in 2002 after a series of relationship problems that occurs concurrently when 'communicating' with somebody that is rooted to any part of Shah Alam... (applicable to some cases only) please add if you have any experience of such. ~ long winding stories is welcome.

The purpose of being in Shah Alam- being the rappoteur for Conference & Workshop for Hospital Planning and Design- was informative and heavenly hospitable... missing the puddings n jellies... ntah hapeehapeee + lost- cannot exit from shah alam and end up driving in circle for an hour... Roundabout city- not my fault!

Yesterday, aisyah-anis & I helped with the posters for IBS conference- reach home 9am today and coma for 1/2 day... i'm still feeling guilty for not being there today -attend the booth- maybe tomorrow, yet i've promise someone that we'll watch Deathnote 2gether... then i've promise Madin to teach her Sketchup... on thursday... undecided...undecided.... what do you think?

I need to find some financial source... PTPTN certainly not helping... need to upgrade some parts of my com...need new power supply & cooler since it kept hanging when the temperature fluctuates.. wasn't a problem at studio since we're living at antartics... so adding some active control with a table fan... eik... hopeless..

Kakniha said i'm a hopeless romantic.. since she knows the story :) I've been blog surfing, and a blog entry are you or are you not a loser caught my attention (it was by mateen) Just want to state my opinion, that when you like someone and decide not to tell, it does not make you a loser. as long as you are satisfied with being able to feel. I know the feeling of being lost, every minute of the day with nothing to look forward to & I also know how it feels when you can't stop smiling and having warm flushed cheeks...

I took him as a muse ( as axemm says it) something to look forward to behind the door. Eventhough he have no idea of it and doesn't care at all. It would be wonderful to be loved back, yet life is no fairytales or hollywood movies... but i didn't say it is impossible... i've seen my frens that was at the right place and the right time... and I'm being happy for them :) you know who you are. In some cases, although been brought together by fate yet they choose not to listen, it doesn't have to be words it can also be care. coincidences are coincidences when you realized that it is, sometimes it's just daily routine when you seen it differently, bumping into your neighbour everyday isn't coincidence right?

I've seen people take the wrong choices yet there is no such thing as a wrong choice

I've seen people change yet it doesn't make you lose the old him

I've seen fate bringing two people together yet maybe it's just not the right time

I've seen two people fell apart yet we should say that they wouldn't meant for each other maybe just not for forever.

I've seen a guy loving two gals at once, many would say it can't be yet what if it is true?

I've seen people that loves themselves so much, that they make themself horrible

I've seen a guy who say he has othing yet he have everything

I've seen a happy couple and wonder when

I've seen people who's rich in knowledge yet poor in attitude

What if the person for you is the person you bump into along a sidewalk and you didn't even looked?

What if the person that would love you the most is standing right beside you at the cafe queue and you never turn your head?

I'm just writing out, the things that have been wondering in my head. It might be true, it might make sense when you read it. But there's no right or wrong.

I'm not strong, i'm stubborn, I'm not confident in myself, i'm not near perfect

Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri to all!!! I'm sorry for any of my wrongdoings or badmouthing. Raye came so suddenly, time really flies by...our 2 weeks of endless nights finishing our presentation boards for portfolio and loads of assignments... eiks... my life is sooo... dateline oriented... enough work!!! i'm now worrying bout final exams.. 2,3,7 & 14 november...duh... my notes aren't complete... shuuttt.... tensinyeee..

Raye was okay, the usual routine... Mama made nasi dagang, rendang, pulut kapit and we bought sate & lemang... went to meiaji's house in Maluri.. then come back home, Chuaji's family came by, friends of family..etc... and a Uncle Baharum's family came from JB, i fell in love with my new cousin, kak lina's daughters & son.. so cute... i've never seen her before yet when she arrive she ran to me and hug me, not wanting to let go... so cute~~~ hehe...baby hazeli was cute too :P

I've just came back from kemaman.... went back on 3rd day of raya...i miss the beach. i miss the keropok lekor. i miss my cousins... & i've got all of it back~~ yey! My cousins & I went to Chendor beach, although it was a short trip... I've fulfill my craving of sandy beach & running waves :P heee.. all my 1st gen cousins was there...cha, r-piz,nana,izzat, ami, ati... and the other anak weks... from 2nd-to 3rd gen... they even play galah panjang on the beach... I got the full dosage of original kerepoklekor! ++ bringing loads of it home.. hehee.. The journey was not as tiring as before.. 4 hour drive instead of 6 hours.. i enjoyed the ride & took loads picture of eastcoast blue sky...

Tonite I went to Nadia's open house.. gathering of schoolmates, only some was able to make in, wasn't as fun as last year but it was okay... had syima storytelling bout how wild dogs ate her cat... heheee.. & momok- the fat cat of jalan baiduri drop by to say hye...meowww~~

Actually, have got loads of thing to write yet this dial up is devastatingly tensioning..
kept disconnecting... arghh.... so maybe later i'll sip some of it here and there...
`I'm so happy'...... +salam lebaran :)

2006-10-10T05:55:00.000+08:00

it's been 10 days, 4 hours of sleep a day & 16 hours a day in front of the monitor. yesterday was the final crit-"I didn't present..." so i don't know if my design have any major problems.. duh... I hope i'll be okay during portfolio... still have to work on the construction detail and services for the final submission- 16th oct.. have 6 days left to do the board... + research method, building tech & urban design assigments...

On the 4th we had a meeting with the HOD, the result is out... we got our part 1 accredited by lam.. but only for batch 2006,2007 & 2008....it doesn't appeal to me.. it's not fair! thinking on how hard our seniors strive for it during the accreditation and they didn't get part 1 or part 2. & we as the lab rats, our course outline have been change, our practical training will be during the short sem only (3 months instead of 6) & we'll be having another studio project... eik.... <>

pointsix had a small gathering on the 6th! a treat from our white collared friends! tq guys, we really appreciate it... miss ya all so much. matpa came with his new gf :) so cute- "bertambah ipar kiterang' heehee...

had a wonderful day... i guess the walk today will keep me smiling till portfolio... i think i'm such a liar, i have the tendency (spelling?) to hide my true feelings... is it a lie? is it wrong? am i sending the wrong signal allover? argh.... sangap....
