urgh! i've got a pretty serious case of hair loss! my room is sooo filled with hair. tsk... n my hair ain't even long. >.< i dun wana go bald! =P

anyway, it's been a long while since i last blogged eh? april... that's almost 3 mths ago. what have i been doing in the past 3 mths? *flashback*

may: can't seem to rmbr anything significant in may. other than the bdays of 2 guys i had crushes on & bdays of 2 of my SiLs, i can't quite rmbr anything else. hmm... oh ya! i had my MSA2 exam on the 2nd last day of may. out of a class of about 10 ppl, only 4 of us turned up to take the xm. o_0 actually a 5th person turned up. reaaaaaaaaally late. he took the test paper, sat down, flipped through it, then announced that he's just gona up & leave w/o sitting for it. hahaha...

june: pretty horrible month if not for a few silver linings n blessings. was roped in at the last minute to do the holiday camp. no briefing. no idea watz gg on. suddenly i was the runner. then the IC went on ML w/o warning (ok we did expect her to pop anytime. but getting d news tat baby's out 1st thing in the morning is still shocking). no handover was done & suddenly i was made the IC. that's not the end of the surprises. one of the main cast suddenly got pulled out of camp to do another camp n lil ol me was suddenly thrown into the spotlight. how nice~

it was really tiring. i'm still tired now. anyway, the silver lining came in the form of d delivery guy. cute banget! senyuman dia... fuyoh~ meltz~ but... i dun even know his name. =P n that day when i was sooo stressed out coz of some glitches at camp & also the food not arriving on time, he msg me a simple "good morning". that made me smile even through the anxiety coz he hardly msg first these days. oh ya! i almost forgot... most importantly... i bought the iPad2!

july: it's only been a week of july but it's still bz bz bz. work is CRAZY!!! hmph~ MSA3 classes has commenced but we've already had the classes cancelled twice at the last minute. haiz... mudarris ya mudarris... anta bz jiddan ke? i'm also being sent for a course this coming monday & tuesday. i might have a meet up with a guy i'm not interested in. he knows i'm not interested in him (at least i think he does coz i ever told him) but he still asks me out. anyway, he wanted to give me something. so ya, it's not a date. i've been chatting online with this guy who added me as friend on Tagged. he lives in p.ris... looks quite cute from the photo. ;) we've talked on the fon once in the morning before i went to work. i showered late bcoz of that but still reached the office on time. heehee...

n i can't help but think when can i see him again.

life without Satio

2011-04-12T20:40:00.002+08:00

i left my beloved Satio in the center i was teaching at yesterday. all the way at Jurong East. ^^; usually after ending my last class, i wld pack my things n head to Bugis. Satio wld usually b safe in one of my bag's pockets. yesterday the routine was broken coz i had to email a report to another center. took out Satio to chk some info n just pl it on d table. after emailing, i went off after thanking the staff for letting me use her computer. took a cab with one o the teachers there coz she was gg bugis too n it was raining. when we almost reach bugis, i had the urge to chk Satio. that's when i realized it wasn't ard. huarrrrgh! good thing i was with that teacher. she helped me call the center to chk if Satio's really there. alhamdulillah it was! =) problem is it's sooo far to the west. the next time i go to the west wld be on thu.

so ya... i'm currently living life w/o Satio. feel kinda handicapped. at the same time feel kinda free. i wonder how many sms/miss calls i'll have (assuming i have any. coz even when Satio's with me, there are some days when it is silent all the time). =P

i did call the centre this morning to ask abt it. d principal got a shock when my alarm sounded. she was wondering where the sound came fr. apparently the staff that found my hp wasn't ard today. neither was the teacher who went to bugis. i told her to take out the batt in case it sounds again tmr. menyusahkan org je aku ni. hahaha...

i'm looking forward to thu when i can b reunited with Satio. why oh why did i leave u behind? =(

so science!

2011-03-31T10:11:00.002+08:00

did you see the new google page? they've got this really cool science apparatus image. chk it out:

i'm lovin' it! ;)

2 holy cities

2010-12-12T21:13:00.000+08:00

i LOVE the 2 holy cities. i haven't got enough of them when i had to come back. i want to go back there! insyaallah...

2 weeks left

2010-10-24T21:45:00.002+08:00

i haven't been blogging. that doesn't mean i haven't been online. i'm online practically everyday. you can call it an addiction. i just can't help myself. FB, hotmail, ravelry, etc... they all pull me back to the cyberworld. so... why is it i have NOT blogged for awhile? well... i guess you could just put it as a bout of laziness. =P i can't be bothered to pen my thoughts down. not much have been happening in my life anyway. just the usual work--home--tuition routine. boring really.

ok actually that's not really true. since the past 6 weeks, i've been going for arabic language class on saturday evenings. that's the spice in my life. of coz making Amis adds another flavour to my life. been getting orders for various characters but i'm afraid i've to put the orders on hold for a bit coz i won't be around for a month in two weeks time.

that trip i'm taking on 2 weeks time is gona be a new chapter in my life. i pray to God that it will be a smooth journey n that good will come out of the journey. amin~

Happy 45th Birthday Singapore

2010-08-09T18:30:00.002+08:00

watching the NDP on the rectangular box at home. they are singing this year's NDP song. the NDP song just gets more pop-ish by the year. not exactly sing-a-long kind. n wasup wif the costumes??? kinda reminds me of cirque du soleil. o_O funky? *shrugz*

wateva it is... wishing Singapore stay peaceful and may it prosper forever more (but dun raise the GST nor any other taxes any further please). ^^;

man~~~ i m sooo bored! it sux to be alone at home on a Saturday. lucky this morning i went out. what did i do? went to my tutee's school carnival. pretty cool! reminds me of the time when we had the TPJC Fun Fair. i think our Fun Fair was MORE FUN! hahaha... ok mayb i'm juz biased lah. it's juz tat their's seem to be soooo crammed. esp the ones selling food n conducting games. super packed! i like the Dunking station best. the teachers were dunking their students like nobody's biznes. hahaha... there's this one male teacher who's pretty good. he gets a dunk once every three shots. gosh! poor kidz were soaked. but i think they had fun too. there were also exhibits by PUB, NEA, AVA, SCDF, etc... i took two papertoys from the SCDF booth: an ambulance n a fire engine!!! how cool is that!!! =D

about a guy

2010-05-17T21:35:00.003+08:00

this is a story about a guy

a guy i've not met yet i've known all my life

a guy whose features are hazy in reality

but in dreams shows a clarity

this guy is THE ONE

the one who will share my worriez n my woes

the one who will make me laugh n smile

the one who will go the extra mile

in turn i will be HIS princess

someone to hold in his time of need

someone to support his every dream

him n me... we will make a great team

i know you are out there

are you that tall guy in the sea of strangers

or maybe the one sitting across in the MRT?

could you be the guy wearing a blue tee?

this is a story about a guy

a guy i love with all my heart

someone i might already have met

but he and me just don't know it yet

pride & prejudice

2010-05-13T22:55:00.003+08:00

lookie here... this is what i've got in my mail today:

woohoo! have been waiting for this little package since forever! (hahaha... ok that's an exaggeration) this morning, i was just thinking about whether my package have reached my friend. so it's a pleasant surprise to see her package in my mail box.

i've been wanting to read this book but never got around to buying it. =P i wasn't sure if i'd stay awake long enough to finish the book. me and literature books doesn't have that much of a chemistry. i do enjoy reading most books though (with the exception of history textbooks. that will most definitely transport me to lalaland) so this one should be fine. i just have to get ready my dictionary in case there are words that i don't understand. heh... ^^; yup yup... my vocab ain't to brilliant. i prefer to use simple words (kind of a work hazard since everything said at work has to be understood by the young).

i hope my book has reached its recipient. thankz sis haseeba for pride & prejudice. will tell you what i think of it when i finish reading it. =)

live bollywood action

2010-04-20T23:17:00.003+08:00

i told u tat mom's life is more dramatic/interesting than mine. i'm not gona take that back coz mine's still not as dramatic/interesting than hers. but i'd like to share a dramatic episode tat i witnessed juz now... making my life (not really mine per se) more interesting.

was passing by that area between the mrt stn & bus intchg at eunos when 2 indian guys were chasing each other. the one being chased fell a few metres from me but managed to get up n run w/o being caught. they both ran twds the mrt stn n somehow made a 'U-turn' n came twds the bus intchg again. the one being chased fell again. the chaser caught him but he managed to slip away. the chaser carried on pursuit, occassionally shouting "help me, please" (except that it sounded like "help me, police"). he caught the other guy. the other guy squirmed n tried to get away. his tee came off in the process. the chaser in his attempt not to let the other guy slip away, held that guy by his pants n ... it wasn't a pretty sight to see. lucky the whole pants didnt slip off. the chaser was still shouting "help me, please" but sad to say, nobody stepped fwd to help. i wanted to. but seeing as to how squirmish this other guy was, i juz became a spectator. kalo aku tolong, nanti aku yg terpelanting. =P anyway, an indian lady (who was there since juz now n did kinda run after the 2 guys) came n joined the chaser, saying to whoever was around "please help us". she also took some photos of the other guy (who was being held by the chaser). to the other guy, she said "i call police". finally, a guy came n help hold the fella. another guy also came asking wat happened. apparently (at least according to the lady), the fella is a thief who stole $3000. gosh!!! $3k?!?! that'z a lot a lot alot of moolahs! she even showed the man who asked what happened, a receipt (i assume it's her atm cash w/d receipt). by that time, an smrt staff was there n they all helped to hold the fella. the fella denied the crime. n i walked away. ^^;

i was thinking y the many many man/guys there did not step fwd to help the chaser. is it becoz they're indians? wld they have helped if the chaser is a chinese? or is it simply a case of MYOB? how sad is tat. have we grown into an uncaring society? or mayb we're juz too cautious abt ... i duno...our own safety? if i was a guy, i'd have helped (at least i think i will) hold the guy. i mean, he wasn't even big size. he was juz tall n thin. but the tatoos on his body... fuyoh! so happening!

another interesting thing that i witnessed today is this:

just this and that

2010-04-17T17:52:00.003+08:00

here are the new things/places i've done recently:

1. attended a class at PPIS. interesting class. insightful class. insyaallah it'll make me into a better muslim. it's on every tuesday evening. so i can't go out on that day for the next 3 weeks (it's a 5 week course n i've gone for 2).

2. went to sentosa resort world. nice place. one day i'm gona go in USS. didnt go the other time coz it was kinda late. bought myself a lanyard though. madagascar! hehe... we (me, ana n fahi bro) chilled at hard rock cafe. bought a tee there. still haven't sent it out. ^^; saw this l/s dressT wif hoodie. soooooo nice! but the price... fuyoh! 70+! wait till i'm feeling rich then mayb i'll buy it. =P

3. ate at wendy's. ok lah the food. i duno y but i find it interesting that there's a guy there at the cashier by the name of kechiq. i've heard of the name in m'sian drama but didnt xpect to meet anyone by such a name. mcm2 je.

nothing else interesting to say. mom's life is more interesting/dramatic than mine. seriously. gosh! is that a bad thing?

*streeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeetch*

my muscles are aching! i reaaaaaaaaaaaally need to go get a massage. but i'm not really into massage. very self-conscious. wat with my scoliosis n such. =P can i juz get a neck/shoulder message? or mayb a foot massage? hmmm... any recommendations peepz?

my weekend was spent doing nothing much. juz the usual tuition. xcept tat tutee was trying to finish all her holiday hw. tsk tsk tsk... managed to teach her only a bit of math n give her pointers on her compo/karangan. =P also helped her in to search for pictures of flowers for her art project. now art doesn't only involve drawing still life n such... they've to draft out the thinking process: research, design & template (i think). hahaha... can't quite rmbr. after tuition was on FB most of the time. also watched some online shows. had a dvd chic flick movie marathon on sun nite... (or was tat sat nite?). i absolutely LOVE definitely, maybe. i rmbr watching the show wif zaki. then there's 27 dresses. first time watching that show. good show as well. she got her dream wedding. i wonder when i'll get mine. also watched devil wears prada. watched tat at the movies wif this guy tat i shall not name coz he's now married n dun want his wifey to get angry/upset wif him. we watched monster house first, then immediately went in to watch DWP. now THAT's a movie marathon! one after another in the movie theatre. ;)

this coming weekend... anybody wants to date me? or can i hang out at someone's place n play wii/ps3/xbox? mom won't be around u see. oh!!! maybe i can go watch a midnite show. hahahah... not very enticing though coz i dun have any particular show tat i really want to watch in the first place. i still havent watched alice in wonderland though. =P tunggu vcd/dvd kluar agaknya.

2010-03-15T18:21:00.002+08:00

what a weekend! in a good way... but tiring. reaaaaaaaaaaaaal tiring! so tiring that i've had to fight the urge to sleep in the office. =P

anyway, it was hafiz & shahisdah's wedding. yup yup! another cuzin of mine has tied the knot. as another cuzin puts it "one more down, kak ani". ya... ya... wateva! hahaha...

saturday was the nikah. went straight to the gal's side with mom. he got it right in one lafaz. woohoo! way to go apiz! ;) took pix of coz but not nice lah the angle. very irritated with the vidlady. always getting in the way. then her vidlighting also so glaring. bah! apa2 je lah. still managed to get some nice shotz. will put them up on multiply (hopefully soon) after editing those that needs to be edited.

sunday was the sanding. followed to the galz side. we had the whole bus to ourselves seh. seriously... only about 8 ppl went to accompany the pengantin. bas sebesar-besarnya! kinda wasted gitu. dah sampai sana, pengantin kena rempuh 5 'gerbang' before he could get to the bride. mcm2 kerenah! so funny! slightly b4 the pengantin went back to sengkang, mom called asking if we're already on the way back. pengantin was eating at that time. then mom told us that it was raining over at sengkang. it was STILL raining when we arrived. lucky the bus driver had some umbrellas (to compensate for not gg into the carpark) n i managed to shelter my nikon from the rain. heh... ^^; diri sendiri basah takpe, camera takle basah. hehehe...

they wanted to start the 'procession' from the next blk (the one with the shop) but nasib baik abg ridwan nampak keranda being carried up there. so he told the kompang guyz not to start their paluan. so it was a silent procession till we reached somewhere near the lift landing. then they started the paluan kompang. the place was hopping! hahaha... i mean that there's a lot of ppl! seriously! i think it was bcoz of the rain as well. ppl are stuck n then there's ppl who juz arrived. so ya...

k lah. malas nak type byk2.

deep sleep

2010-02-25T07:46:00.002+08:00

went back to sleep after subuh n dreamt. must have been a deep sleep (eventhough i dun feel like i've slept). dreamt about wak jai. havent seen him in ages. in my dream, he was working as a scdf personnel. weird! when he left in an ambulance, i walked n walked n came upon a grp of guys who were doing some stretching excercises. elwi was there. i think i know the other guys too but i cant quite rmbr. then nizam came along n joined the guys in stretching. they dun seem to notice me being there though. so weird!

maybe yan's right. i do often get weird dreams. [^_^;]

daddy's kiss

2010-02-21T23:10:00.001+08:00

Prophet Muhammad said: "Allah rewards the father who kisses his child as a sign of love" (Abu Nasr Samarqandi).

i miss my daddy. =( may Allah reward him for all the kisses on the forehead that he gave me. i miss him... i really do.

give up

2010-02-21T19:08:00.003+08:00

i quote a fren's blog entry:

lessons to be learnt by heart

mind you the body is willing

to give up any second now

but first, my soul needs to repent

now i add a few lines of mine own:

eyes are closing

beat is slowing

life dissipating

...hope has given up...

can you tell me then what have i to live for?

p.s. i thought we were going to be something special but i guess i thought wrong. that souvenior i bought you will juz be a reminder that it's all in my head. it's a reminder for me to not get any notion in my head no matter how much everyone around me says me n you should/will get together (whoever 'you' may be)

rat n jie

2010-01-30T07:33:00.002+08:00

had a great evening/nite yesterday. it was ratnor n jerine's wedding. looking thru at the uploaded pix, i realized there wasn't many! omg! i think i'm losing my touch. or mayb i was juz overwhelmed by the many manY maNY mANY MANY photographers when i arrived. =P it was a really cool idea though. they had those MANY photographers armed wif polaroids. after taking pix of the guest(s), they let them write notes to the couple on a card n d pix is stuck on the card. coolness!!! trust them to come up wif stuffz like these. ;)

a whole table of xinlus++ was allocated n some scattered to other tables as well. i didnt get to sit wif d main xinlu table but i did get to sit with dear dear buddy, yan (who look very pretty in a dress she bought the day b4) n her hubby. food was good. after the 2nd course, we shifted one seat down coz yk asked me to reserve a seat for him. so funny! the 2 other couples at our table must have tot that we'r so weird. hahaha... then... very very late... budiman n cak came (wif another fren). they joined our table but kept gg out after finishing each course.

told yk tat i'm gg to london n he gave me suggestions on where to go. he also said tat i shd hav waited for 2/3 mths b4 gg coz it's still winter now. d most ridiculous suggestion fr him (but yan totally like the idea) is for me to buy a newspaper, turn to the last few pages and find an escort. hahahaha... merepekz lah tu org. nasib baik dia buddy aku. kalo tak... hmph! hahaha...

we left at almost 11pm n took the bus to bugis. then we carried on wif the train. all in all... i had a wonderful time. looking fwd to tomorrow! might meet nizam to return his notes n meet ela & yan to talk abt london/paris. yeah!!! but 1st i've to get through this morning's work of presenting to parents/trial class. tsk... y d heck do i have to work on a saturday? z!!! come gimme ur pay since tis is supposed to b YOUR JOB!

Chicken Little

2010-01-09T00:14:00.001+08:00

Tis is one of d lil frenz tat i'v crochet. I'm kinda addicted to tis. =p Seriously! I'm alwayz like tis wif new tingz. I'd even stay up late into d nite juz to finish it. I shd lay it low a lil. I mean i do hav other stuffz to do. 2 anime-cized drawings amg d list. But itz a rather packed schedule tis wkend. Tuitn as usual. Then go zeeze's pl on sat n abidah's pl on sun. Gosh! Wil i finish those drawings by mon? I hope so. I dun like to owe ppl anyting. But it seems tat a few ppl owe me sumtingz n hav yet to settle them. Shd i pester them? Urgh! I hate pestering coz i hate being a pest. Btw go chk out http://exquisiteartisan.multiply.com for more Ami Zipper Buddy like Blanc the chicken (shown above) n http://masjidsg.blogspot.com for pictures o masjids in sg n other masjid related stuffz.

it's almost goodbye 2009

2009-12-25T23:08:00.003+08:00

the year 2009 is almost over n done with. time sure flies! lemme see... what have i done that's noteworthy this year?

- i switched fr being a part timer to a full timer at work. sometimes i wish i hadn't. it has nothing to do with the work... more of d ppl i work with. not all of them. just one or two... n sometimes three. =P office politics. bleargh!

- i did some community work by offering my photography services. i juz LOVE taking photoz. anyone want to commission me? chk out my portfolio at http://cherish4ever.multiply.com

-i self-taught myself to knit n crochet. ok... maybe it wasn't really self-taught coz i read a book abt knitting n crocheting. i also watched some youtube videos when i dun really get what they're trying to say in the book. so far i've made a mini monster and two octopus.

hmmm... i can't seem to think of many things. shux! tat means i've to buck up n be a better person next yr. tat'll be my resolution for 2010. another resolution will be to not buy anymore apparels for the next 6 mths. i have enough socks to last me a year or more. heh... i also have lotsa clothes that i hardly wear. so ya. 2010... time to save the moolahs. time to go out of sg...for a holiday n pilgrimage (two different occasions of coz). time to get a guy(?) ;P

happiness from within

2009-12-15T23:21:00.002+08:00

boy i'm stuffed! dinner was really filling. had some chips as i walked in the rain. ate salmon in tomato sauce + cheesesticks at pastamania. then closed it off with smooth mint master piece at marble slab. oh man! heaven! hahaha...

oh ya! to top it off... i had siti for company! wheee... havent hang out with her since b4 the start of camp. that is considered a loooooooooooooong time coz we always meet up once a week for lunch.

anyway, she's going for a YEP. anyone wants to join? it's to Cambodia from 19 july 2010 to 1 aug 2010. i dun have much details of the project but if u r interested, tell me abt it and i'll pass ur no. to her. u shd go for a YEP. it's a great experience. i've been to 4 myself n i love all of them. best part is that each YEP is a different experience. ;) so go for it people!

blasts from the past

2009-12-10T23:51:00.003+08:00

this month seems to be filled with frenz from days of old. my bday was spent wif pri sch frenz. after 19 years or so of not seeing each other, it was amazing that we can still connect wif each other. it was a day of laughter n remembering the good old days. ;) crushes were revealed, friendly jibes were made, pix were taken n memories imprinted. thank you everyone for spending time with me. hope to see u all again soon! may our friendship go stronger now that it's been rebonded. =)

went for dinner wif 3 of my jc frenz. haven't seen them since... i cant rmbr when. heh... tina's gal is sooo cute! 3 mths old. n i get to hold her for quite a few minutes. she's jambu... juz like her mom. ;) everyone looks pretty much the same. will be meeting them again on next sunday. can't wait! abang will also be there. woohoo! thanx to nizam who gave me abang's contact no to pass to alvin. a whole table of classmates. i am so looking forward to that!

4 days gone... 11 days to go

2009-12-04T20:42:00.003+08:00

the holiday camp started with a sputter and a stutter

if only she didn't come around to bother

things will definitely be better

or maybe i'm just being bitter

haiz~ dear Allah. please take away this ill feeling in my heart. let me be a person filled with only goodness. let me see the goodness in others n tolerate the unpleasantness of their behaviours. i try. i am really trying. i try to not let her get on my nerves but i think sometimes i just can't help showing my displeasure. it's apparent on my face. i should learn to keep a poker face n level my voice too. if it doesn't show on my face, i'm sure my voice is a giveaway.

ah well~ let's not think about BLEARGH things. tmr i've to work... almost full day! =P tuition will commence on sunday... so that means i've to say 'goodbye' to waking up late on weekends.

oh ya! i just went on a spontaneous shopping spree just now after work. ^^; bought two pairs of levi's jeans (wow! i've never had levi's jeans in my 30 yrs of existence n this yr alone i bought three!), a uni qlo fleece jacket (it's bright blue! my fave color! yeah!), a butterfly bracelet and 2 assesment books. wishing you a most enjoyable weekend (...at least make it better than mine arite. then i'll share ur joy)!

service vs education

2009-11-26T19:57:00.002+08:00

i thought i'm in d education sector coz my diploma was in early childhood education (teaching). but someone said tat we're in the service industry. education n service are two different things... no?

Presenting a really cute octopus! Hehe.. Tatz one of the props we're gona use for the lil camp. We'v been doing camp prep since forever (ok mayb 'forever' is a total exaggeration. it was probably more of three wks or so..but it feels like forever). There's also a cute puffer fish tat mr.boss said looks like a porcupine / durian. Tsk! How insulting. Hahaha.. Nah~ I dun really mind his comments.

Anyway, camp starts next week. Huargh! We'r not done wif prop making n prep. U know y we'r kinda behind? Coz SOMEone decided to only want minimal involvement. Tsk tsk..n another's too bz to help much. With less hands chipping in, no wonder we'r lagging. That n plus d fact that there was a firedrill yest, a camp orientation tmr (i seriously dun get WHY we need a camp orientation when we'v been doing well during prev camps w/o any orientation..n guess wat.. d someone is d one conducting d orientation), n several other tingz tat seem to take up d time tat we cld hav used for prop making. Ah well~ Juz hav to deal wif all these nonsense. N my body's aching terribly. Massage me somebody!

p.s. i found out d reason for the orientation. according to d person, it's coz of some feedbacks by some centres. something abt them not feeling 'so welcomed'.

ngantuk nya... sejak kebelakangan ni, aku ashik ngantuk je. tapi bila dah terbaring kat tilam tu, tak terlelap lah pula. tsk tsk tsk... apakah yg bermain di fikiranku? terlalu banyak kah benda yg melintasi sel2 otak ku ini? hahahah.... watzup wif d totally malay sentences? tat juz looks weird. i'm too used to thinking in english n most of the time i write in english. come to think of it, half the time, i converse in english too! gosh! no wonder my malay is so rusty. the years of not using it has oxidized the language n made it rusty. tsk3...

i shd be ashamed of myself. my nric states tat i'm javanese but i duno a word of javanese at all. i think my japanese is better (though only by a minute fraction). i'm also half boyanese but i hardly understd what is being said in boyanese. although compared to my javanese vocab, i know more than a few boyanese words. it's sad that ppl like me... the current generation are not versed in the dialects of our forefathers. satu hari nanti, akan pupus lah bahasa ini dari muka dunia. ish3... cobaan...

if i had the time n money to learn any language, i'd love to learn the following:

1. Japanese

2. Arabic

3. Boyanese

4. Javanese

5. Spanish

simply splendid saturday

2009-10-12T08:24:00.002+08:00

started off with work (not a norm for me). everything went fairly smoothly. during the de-brief, one of my colleagues even commended on my stealth as an usher (thus labeling me as 'chief usher' OMG!). sup drove me home (lotsa thanx!!!) coz i had to accompany mom to a jemputan.

aftr tat mom dropped me off at yan's coz we had alrdy plan a gathering. it was great meeting up n chatting wif the babez (plus their hubbiez n kiddoz) n nizam. ya! i invited nizam along to the gathering seeing that i'm d only one tatz not married n i tot it'll be weird to come without a partner. =P it was a great afternn! (ok i've already mentioned that but since i'm repeating it, that juz shows how great it was!) but but but... too bad it was the usual faces n too bad they came at different timings. so it wasn't really a gathering. still... i had fun! =) thx nizam for accompanying me eventhough it was really on short notice. thx yan n hubz for cooking the food n providing the venue. thx bib n ela for coming down n gracing the occasion with ur presence. here's a pix to remember the afternn by:

after tat i went home, changed n went to a perjumpaan hari raya. hahaha... datz like my 3rd outfit for the day! yup yup yup! i wore 3 different outfits on sat (4 if u count my pjs) hahaha! dah mcm model gitu~ ;) anyway, the perjumpaan was alrite. d skit was not tat good though. too draggy. =P

n that nite i slept n dreamt of someone i've not dreamt of for a long long time. he's married alrdy. his wife was in my dreamz too. @_@ it was a sweet dream though i cant quite rmbr wat we were talking abt. ^^;

chatty II

2009-10-01T00:38:00.002+08:00

today (or should i say yesterday coz it's way past midnite) seems to be "call yaney for a chat" day. first i rcvd a call fr an ol fren (i had a really long crush on him n in order to protect his marriage, i shall not name him). he called coz of the weirdest reason: to tease my brader. hahaa... it was good chatting wif him. it's been way too long. when i asked if any baby's coming along. he said he's doing 'production planning'. hehe... shouldn't it be 'family planning'? mcm2 ah dektu. dari dulu seh. didn't want to use the word 'date'. so we used the word 'outing'. ah well... tat means he is still him n i'm juz glad he still keeps in touch even after marriage. i have frenz who juz up n poof w/o a goodbye once they got married (or worse when they are going to get married) n tat is really really sad.

then there's pak beni fr belawan. that is one unexpected call. n it was funny the way they passed around the phone so that i was probly talking to one person per minute. first it was pak beni, then it was emon, then fifit n lastly it was andi. fuyoh~ i think if the reception had been better, i wld have gotten a chance to speak to kiki n rhara. =P too bad lah tak dgr sgt coz i was at mamang's place (ada mesyuarat tergempar).

after that psy called. he's alone at starbux with two cups of choc drink. yummy choc drink. i love choc. ok tat'z not the point. anyway, so he called. yest he called as well. yest was kinda funny. he called but i was praying so i didnt pick up. so i called back after tat but he didnt pick up. then he called but i didnt hear the fon coz there were guests. twice! when i called, finally we get to talk. hehe... but after that, tgh shiok dgr dia ckp skali terputus. his batt went kaput!!! hahaha...

and to finish my "chatty" day, i get to chat with abg aka fhirhad on fb! woohoo! go technology! it's been a really long long long time since i met this bro of mine. me n yan call him abg during or jc days coz he's a yr older than us but he's in d same class. he loves teasing us n copying some of our homework. who would have thought that the teaser is now a teacher. ;) he makes a good teacher. at least i think so. he might have loved teasing us but he also gave me this impression that he cares a lot about those put under his care. so yeahness! it's a great day.

p.s. let's everyone pray for mom's speedy recovery from her op tat she'll b having later today.

nit da monsta

2009-09-28T19:41:00.002+08:00

this is Nit:

he's a monsta. he's harmless really. not the kind of monsta that eatz lil children. he's more of a "hug me n squeeze me n i still won't get angry" kind of monsta. a good stress reliever...so he claims. ;P he's pretty cheeky too. look at that tongue sticking out as if to tease you. hehe...

yeah!!! i finished knitting the little monster toy i told you about in one of my prev post. it took less time than expected (coz i managed to knit during lunch)... but still longer than others more apt at the craft would have taken. i might knit another doll soon... will have to see my mood! ^^;

went to Oh's farm just now. get to see the plants cultivated using hydroponics. bought the kit (for class of coz) n a small container of peppermint crystals. the smell of the crystals is refreshing! really really nice. i've always loved mint. n i m amazed they have the peppermint in crystal form. the guy there said that they extracted the oil from the peppermint plant n made them into crystals. coolness!

Rubber bandeat

2009-09-25T14:45:00.001+08:00

Wld u believe me if i told u the white koi u c in tis pix ate a piece o rubberband?
Seriously it did.. at least it tried to.. thrice! :p
It ate it. Mayb chewed it a few times then spit it out. It repeat d whole, ate-chew-spit routine another time. On d third try i didnt c it spit d rubberband out. Gosh! I hope it doesnt suffer fr indigestn or worse.

10 things

2009-09-21T19:27:00.002+08:00

here's 10 things i'd like to update about:

1. my mom's back fr umrah. she went on 7th sept n came back today. woohoo!!! she's well alhamdulillah. it sounds real exciting to go umrah during ramadhan. however, she did warn that if u r not well/strong then it's not a good idea to go there during ramadhan coz the number of ppl there seems to be more than during the haj period.

2. so far i've only visited nenek, mak ngah n nek yah for eid. the rest... i duno when i'm gg to go. i've already rcvd two open hse invitations for this coming weekend. i sooo wana go. one is aziz's (my dear dear hensem bro who i haven't met up in ages) n the other is linda's (one of my buddies).

3. met bib at the airport today. here's me n her lil prince. my fave boi! ;)

4. i've rcvd the reply letter fr haseeba (my ramadhan swap partner). read it on eid itself. really sweet of her to send a sticker sheet together with the letter. canada sounds like an interesting place to go to. shall add that to the list of places to go (there's japan, cairo, madinah, mekah, paris, spain... on the list). i'm gona reply her via airmail. the ol fashion way is indeed more interesting than modern email.

5. here are the things i rcvd for my ramadhan swap hunt:

they all fit in a brown envelope. in case you can't see... there's a book (a brief illustrated guide to understanding islam), kinder bueno (yummy!), a box of recycled pencils, pink earrings, a Rumi's poem (in that white envelope, written on a card), a fluttering butterfly (my fave!), a pashmina, blue star stickers (my fave too!), some worded sticker thingie (for scrapbooking... i think) and a green soft toy dog.

6. i'm trying my hands on knitting. for my first project, i'm trying to make a little monster toy (pattern taken fr a book i borrowed fr the kid's section of the library). hahaha... i can't start with a shawl coz it's not practical in sg or a square piece coz it's too boring. =P knitting is not as hard as it looks but it's still challenging. esp the part where u have to try to make the stitches juz right. i'm taking ages to do it though. my fingers juz ache after a few minutes of knitting. heh... so dun ask me when i'm gona finish my monster toy arite.

7. i'm reading Inkheart n i have Inkspell on standby. borrowed them fr the library too (same section as the knitting book). after i finish them, i hope Inkdeath is on the shelf ready for me to borrow. ;)

8. i think The Gift by cecilia ahern is a good book to read. teaches us about the gift of time. very interesting read. go read it! hehe...

9. i'm on leave tmr morning. yeah! can sleep in! hehe.. but i'll be gg to work in the aftnn. my aunt asked why so weird? coz i'm in the ofiz in the morning n i teach in the aftnn. so it's a lot of hassle to take leave in the aftnn since i'd need to find a relief teacher. currently, tue is a day we can't spare any teachers. =P

10. i'm hungry n i shd go take my dinner now! ;P

Sleepy aftnn

2009-09-17T14:50:00.001+08:00

Gosh! I m so sleepy! Duduk kt bustop pun ble terlelap sampai tersengguk2. Tsk.. So uncool! Hahaha..
Stil hav abt 3hrs b4 knock off time. =p I hope d kids behav themselves well tdy. Itz 1 o those days where i feel so lazy..like i juz wana go hm n sleep. Heh..
Ritez.. Shd i buy some ice for d xprmt ltr? Hmmm.. Dun tink i wil.
Anyway, along dah terbang alik kg bini dia. 1 week there. Dah sampai ke blum eh? Oh! N my hm fon n net cnt b used. Tsk.. Sumting wrong wif d modem. Huargh!!!

2009-09-16T23:15:00.003+08:00

gosh~ betapa lambatnya tutee ku dtg. sejam gitu aku tunggu. oh wellz~ at least she DID come. anyway... i shd b sleeping real soon. sok keja pagi. actually hari2 pun keja pagi but sok is at b/vista. man~~~ tatz so darn far far away. =P

along's gg to his wifey's kg tmr. can't send them off coz i gtg to work. haiz~ kalo tak keja kan best. tapi kalo tak keja then takde gaji. takde gaji then mana nak cekup duit bayar bil. tul tak? so kena keja. but nvm! fri morning i m not working! yeah!!! but working on fri afternn. hahaha... org amik leave aftnn half of the day eh? aku terbalik. well... it's much easier to take leave in the morning coz i need not find anyone to replace me. if i take leave in the aftnn then i need to go find a relief teacher. leceh babe~

ok i've been yawning so i shd sleep. but juz for the record: my black pepper fish tak menjadi. tapi eventhough tak menjadi, abis ikan tu dimakan oleh adikku. hahaha... so yeah! i'd like to say THANK YOU to my lil bro for eating up wateva nonsense that i've been cooking for the past week or so. ;)

the day you went away

2009-09-12T20:28:00.000+08:00

well i wonder could it be
when i was dreaming 'bout you baby
you were dreaming of me
call me crazy, call me blind
to still be suffering is stupid after all of this time

Did i lose my love to someone better
and does she love you like i do
i do, you know i really really do

and we were letting go of something special
something we'll never have again
i know, i guess i really really know

why do we never know what we've got til it's gone
how could i carry on
the day you went away
cause i've been missing you so much i have to say
been crying since the day
the day you went away

yarn it's good

2009-09-05T16:53:00.001+08:00

i juz woke up fr slumber. isn't it good to sleep during ramadhan? somehow ur nap seems more restful n longer than it really is. at least that's how i feel. =)
anyway, bought this just now:

i thought it was expensive when i first saw it a few months back. but it's been on my mind ever since. so now that i'm feeling a lil richer... i bought it! hehe... but haven't opened it yet. later ah... now my task is to read up some books abt robots then i also need to clean up my room that seem to only stay clean for about a week. =P i'm hopeless at housekeeping. no wonder i'm still swinging single. hahaha... ^^;
oklah... gtg! may all of u be in the best of health n iman.

setahun yang lalu

2009-09-03T20:18:00.000+08:00

setahun yang lalu
di ramadhan ini
tangisan syahdu
membasahi pipi

tiada lagi senyum manisnya
hilang sudah suara mesranya
dengan tiba-tiba
dunia sunyi nan gelita

pemergianmu tiada disangka
kedukaan dihati masih terasa
namun kuredha takdir menimpa
hanya tak tertahan perasaan hiba

oh tuhan dengarlah rintihan
hambamu yang kerdil tak bermaya
tempatkanlah dia dalam golongan
bersama meraka yang bertaqwa

p.s. oh how i miss him so so so very much.

2009-09-01T11:59:00.001+08:00

Itz tchrs' day. So here's wishg all tchrs a gd rest n may we b given patience n dedicatn to continue tis honorable career.
But tchrs tdy hav it tough. Wat happened to d respect given to tchrs? Students cn b so rude. Itz worse if d parentz r juz blind as a bat to their child's untoward behavior. Some parentz r also v. demandg or xcessvly unreasonable. Makez our job even harder. They tink tat juz bcoz they pay d sch fees, they hav a right to demand tis n tat fr d tchrs. Watz up wif tat?
Ah well~ Tatz juz part n parcel o being tdy's tchrs. But i do wish parentz wld juz b less uptight, less unreasonable n place more trust on d tchrs. Afterall tatz y we r in d teachg line... coz we wanna teach.

p.s. I dreamt o daddy last nite n tis morng aftr subuh. Wish i cld carry on sleepg. Wake me up when sept ends.

2009-08-30T06:20:00.000+08:00

urgh... y does my hart feel as if it's being squeezed? y does tis person appear even more often in my mind? could it b that after all these years...

hmmm... nvm. if it's meant to b, then it will b. to those of u whose birthday falls today, may u have a wonderful day ahead n may your life b filled with goodness. may u also b bestowed wif strong iman n b put amg those who are blessed. love ya!

irritation at 0045

2009-08-20T00:44:00.002+08:00

gosh! FB is irritating me. DNS error. apa seh~

i know it's way past my bedtime n i've an early morning class tmr. so i shd already turn in snug in bed. but i juz ate supper n i can't sleep wif my stomach full. well mayb i can but i dun make it a habit. not very good for the health... so i heard.

anyway, watz up with FB seh?!?!?!

tsk... that aside. i've finished reading Twilight. took me only a day. =P i must be crazy. it's a crazy story that i can't seem to put down. so tat pretty much explains how i managed to finish reading in a day. now must go meet yan n borrow book 2-4. should borrow all 3 at one go or take 1 at a time? i told her i might juz turn into the cold ones...d dark ring under d eyes i.e... if i borrow the other 3 books at one go. =P will c...

i don't want to miss a thing

2009-08-17T21:18:00.000+08:00

watching the show armageddon. have seen it for so many times. but still i cry. not when they went off to space. i cried when harry told AJ to "look after my little girl. that's your job". i cried when harry spoke to his daughter n then the screen went grainy. i cry coz i'm reminded of my daddy. he often called me "my little girl" and "my baby". i miss that n i miss him. i love you daddy... i.love.you

paper toy: dead pixel

2009-07-29T22:37:00.002+08:00

this is the paper toy i made. i didn't design it. dl n printed the template fr papercraft world. i've always loved origami n making stuffs. but only recently have i discovered how awesome paper toys are. seriously some of them are totally cool! anyway, the discovery n interest were made when my sup decided to search for transformers models we could make using paper for one of our upcoming lessons.

so here's Dead Pixel. a decepticon that can transform into a TV!!! hahaha... how cute is that? i've printed out another decepticon... cant rmbr the name but it can transform into a... guess wat... a washing machine!!! hahaha... it even has 2 minions in the shape of socks! ;)

you will never walk alone

2009-07-27T10:46:00.002+08:00

a girl went to her friend's house. she ended up staying longer than planned and had to go home alone. she wasn't afraid because it was a small community and she lived only a few blocks away.

as she walked along the bike trail, amina asked Allah to keep her safe from harm and danger. when she reached the alley, which was a short cut to her house, she decided to take it. however, halfway down the alley she noticed a man standing at the end as though he was waiting for her. she became uneasy and began to recite a du'a asking for Allah's protection. instantly a comforting feeling of quietness and security wrapped round her. she felt as though someone was walking with her. when she reached the end of the alley, she walked right past the man and arrived home safely.

the following day, she read in the newspaper that a young girl had been killed in the same alley just twenty minutes after she had been there. feeling overwhelmed by this tragedy and the fact that it could have been her, she began to weep. thanking Allah for her safety and to help this young girl, she decided to go to the police station. She felt she could recognize the man, so she told them her story.

the police asked her if she would be willing to look at a lineup to see if she could identify him. she agreed and immediately pointed out the man she had seen in the alley the night before. when the man was told he had been identified, he immediately broke down and confessed.

the officer thanked amina for her bravery and asked if there was anything they could do for her. she asked if they would ask the man one question. amina was curious as to why he had not attacked her. when the policeman asked him, he answered,"because she wasn't alone. she had two tall men walking on either side of her.'

so remember... you will never walk alone. (n NO i am NOT a liverpool fan.)

fairytale magic

2009-07-20T23:38:00.002+08:00

went to watch harry today. i think the movie's great! dun understd y some frenz think tat it's disappointing. mayb they were thinking in terms of the action (or the lack of). ah well~ i still love it. i teared when dumbledore was in pain when he drank that liquid in the cave. i teared once more when harry went over to dumbledore's body. so sad~~~ [,~_~,] but i dun like the ending. so tergantung!!! huaaaaaaaargh~~~

anyway, i'm probably gona go hiatus fr the cyber world for abit. need to go find myself. i'm kinda lost... kinda... for those of u who needs me, u know how to reach me. for those who dun know how to reach me, u can try calling me name 3x in the direction of the wind or find the brightest star n call out my name as loud as u can without speaking it. hehe...

before i go, here's something i'm pretty much into at the moment:

i'm not a princess, this ain't a fairytale

i'm not the one you'll sweep off her feet

lead her up the stairwell

this ain't hollywood, this is a small town

i was a dreamer before you went and let me down

Pooky @the park

2009-07-13T09:19:00.004+08:00

Took a really slow walk at d park. It was nice. Mr Sun wasnt too bright. Mr Wind was gently blowg. Twitterg birds flyg, hoppg n juz perchg.
Wish tat everyday's like tis. Thank u Allah for a lovely start to d day.

p.s. it was even better coz someone called me 'princess'. auwww~ how sweet...i'm touched!

but all that said n done... i tink the wall around my hart is still up as high n as thick as ever. someone once dedicated tis song to me n part of the lyrics seem apt to me: "so frightened that he won't love her, she builds up a wall." i wonder if there will really ever be a 'prince' who's determined enuf to break it down or climb over it to get thru to my hart. coz sometimes i run, sometimes i hide, sometimes i'm scared of you but all i wana do is to hold you tight. "romeo, romeo... where for art thou thy romeo?" hahaha... sweet dreamz, peepz~

oops! i did it again...

2009-07-08T22:06:00.002+08:00

bought a book when i've already got a couple tat i've yet to finish reading.

really... tis habit of mine is bad. bad on my pocket. hahaha...

the night of the mi'raj by zoe ferraris

so far i'm intrigued. at the same time, there are qns as to whether or not the practices(?) written in it are really islamic. i dun even know if the author is a muslim. wait.. lemme google the name abit.

the search led to the following discovery:

- the book also goes by the name Finding Nouf. "Finding Nouf is a San Francisco Chronicle Bestseller and winner of theLos Angeles Times Art Seidenbaum Award for First Fiction. It was also chosen as one of the Best New Voices of the Year by Waterstone's Booksellers, one of the Ten Best Novels of the Spring by The Independent. It was a Barnes & Noble Discover Great New Writers selection and a Book Sense pick. "

- the author was once married to a Bedouin n lived in a conservative Muslim community in Jeddah.

i've got spellbound, the graveyard book n muhammad as if you can see him, to read as well. hee... i'd better not go into another bookshop for now. =P

someone told me that he was challenging with someone else for my attention back when we were in school. fuwah~~~

THAT was news. i was speechless. i still am. duno wat to make of it. heh~

i'm flattered of coz. i'm not pretty nor am i a brilliant student. so to be told tat not only one someone but two someones were vying for my attn, is flattering. granted, it's all in the past. still...

now... now i dun suppose i have anyone vying for my attn. it's been work n home for as long as i can rmbr. of coz there's the occasional meet up with frenz. but no datez.

ah well~ good thingz will come to those who are patient. so dear God please grant me patience. abundance of it. coz sometimes i juz seem to almost run out of it.

i tink i'll go to sleep n maybe i'll see a guy who's sweet. hehehe...

p.s. mak ai... bila larut mlm baru nak sms ckp sok pagi kul 9.15am ada h1n1 briefing. tsk~

2009-06-27T23:00:00.002+08:00

i was supposed to go to east coast for a bbq today. ended up sleeping. =P

i thought i'd be staying home for the nite. went to watch live band performance instead. ;)

guess who i went with...?

nope... not a guy.

nah... not with frenz.

i went to watch the live bands with...

me mom!!!

coolness rite? it was a last minute thing. n it was only at the park across the street. but it was still great. i've always loved live bands. though the singing was a bit off at times but the whole music playing was goody goody great! the best part about listening and watching a live band is the whole singing along with the band. hehe... there were 3 bands: joy band, elmo's act and last minute call up (or so i think those are their names ;^^).

k lah. tatz it. can;t concentrate. watching shugo chara. hehe... n i'm gg to sleep in awhile. tmr's another day of tuition. ganbate ne yaney!

flooding memoriez

2009-06-25T12:36:00.005+08:00

did i disappoint you or let you down?
should i be feeling guilty or let the judges frown?
'coz i saw the end before we'd begun,
yes i saw you were blind and i knew i had won.
so i took wat's mine by eternal right.
took your soul out into the night
it may be over but it won't stop there,
i am here for you if you'd only care.
you touched my heart you touched my soul.
you changed my life and all my goals.
and love is blind and that i knew when,
my heart was blinded by you.
i've kissed your lips and held your hand.
shared your dreams and shared your bed.
i know you well, i know your smell.
i've been addicted to you.

goodbye my lover, goodbye my fren.
you have been the one, you have been the one for me.

i am a dreamer and when i wake,
you can't break my spirit - it's my dreams you take.
and as you move on, remember me,
remember us and all we used to be.
i've seen you cry, i've seen you smile,
i've watched you sleeping for a while.
i'd be the father of your child.
i'd spend a lifetime with you.
i know your fears and you know mine.
we've had our doubts but now we're fine,
and i love you, i swear that's true.
i cannot live without you.

i'm so hollow, baby, i'm so hollow.
i'm so, i'm so, i'm so hollow.

he's back!

2009-06-22T22:30:00.002+08:00

yes ah! he is back! wheee~~~

woke up at 5am today. went out of the house ard 545am. reached the airport by 6am. he's already out wif his luggage n all. had breakfast at mcD's. sent falah back home. went back to the airport n finally home sweet home.

he gave me 3 thingz: a tube of foaming body soap wif a froggie sitting at the end of the tube, a book entitled Muhammad as if you can see him n an Egypt collar badge. the book, i realized, is written by the same guy who wrote the book i rcvd fr my double swap partner. how cool is that?! i haven't started reading this book coz i've a stack of books that's been waiting for me to finish. i've already finished 2 of them. both are fiction. i get through fiction much faster than non-fiction. someone once told me that fiction is trash. which is kinda true coz they can make one fantasize too much n forget abt watz really important. but i cant help myself reading them anyway coz ~~it getz my creative juices running~~ i find them more interesting than non-fic. heh...

ritez then... i shd go to sleep. haven't slept since 5am (xcept for a 20min or so nap on the mrt). my eyelids are really heavy. let me end tis entry wif a quote from the book The Chaos King by Laura Ruby:

The city is chaos. Life is chaos. And isn't that what makes it beautiful?

wait! make that two quotez coz here's another one:

The world only seem crazy. There is a pattern. You find it if you look hard enough.

a fearful world

2009-06-20T20:25:00.004+08:00

i wished for this 'permanence'

unchanged feelings...

the ties that bind us...

"we'll be together forever"

but you can't hope to bind people

nor can you bind their feelings down

i don't want to get left behind

i don't want to be afraid

i don't want a world where nobody needs me

i don't want a world full of strangers

to live without 'promises'

or a 'bond'

to live without this 'permanence'

to live with strangers...

it scares me...

it scares me to know

that there's no guarantee

that i would be loved

would anyone notice if i just disappeared

urat dawai tulang besi

2009-06-19T23:06:00.002+08:00

yeah! camp is officially over!!! ritez... so it's been over since ten hours ago or so. hahaha... can't blog though. there's something wrong wif my moblog setting in the phone. i can't even send/rcv MMS. tsk... what happened?!?! aaaaaaargh! i so didn't change the setting. is it a sign to get a new phone? hahaha... samsung jet? maybe... NOT! at least not at the moment anyway. =P

so we had to go back to office to keep all the camp stuffs. mrB so did not help carry the stuffs into the store room. he juz let us GALZ do the carrying n storing. *clapz handz* when we told him there's probably not enuf space for everything n asked if we could use those many empty shelves in the store room. he juz said no we can't use them coz they belong to another dept. but they are so not using them shelves. so y can't we use them? they sure dun need so many shelves. we do. he even wanted us to separate the camp stuffz fr the normal class stuffz. i can see his logic in wanting to do so. but we can only achieve that IF we have enough space in the first pl. so we juz put them stuffz wherever we cld (read: by putting them in the shelves allocated for normal class stuffz). he juz don't understand it coz he doesn't get his hands 'dirty' in the nitty gritty. oooh~ tat rhymes! hehehe...

went out after work with a sec sch fren. on the way home, while crossing the road, felt someone tap me. bro n ana was walking in the oppo direction. i was so engrossed looking at the stars (although they were really faint) that i didnt notice them. =P in the train, there was this indian kid. he looked really scared. he was on the verge of tears. i realized he was hearing impaired (he was wearing a hearing aid in his right ear). he kept standing on the seat n looking around. like he was looking for someone. i assume it's his mom. i gave him a tissue but he didnt want it. i wrote on a piece of paper asking him where he lives but he juz shook his head n his hand. then at paya lebar, he seem to recognize the place n he started pointing out the window n clapping his hands. he was smiling. his joy was so obvious. i couldn't help but feel happy n relieved for him. he got down from his seat n went in the direction of his mom (so i assume). he didn't come back to that seat (like he did once), so i really hope he found his guardian n alighted at the right stop. the guardian shouldn't have left that kid on his own. he was really scared. i hope i never do that to my child (if i ever get married n have kids of my own).

mid june update

2009-06-16T19:28:00.003+08:00

tmr is the last round of camp. alhamdulillah~

my whole body is aching n my head will sometimes juz throb w/o warning.

even my student commented that i look sleepy. =P that is such a bad sign! tsk~

met up wif zaki, fahi n ana on sunday... like FINALLY! too bad adha wasn't ard. haven't seen her since tat day (i cant rmbr when) tat we went to esplanade. wonder when i'm gona see her again. d 3 stoogiez have yet to gather once more for a camwhoring session. =(

went to langkawi wif mom. ikut rombongan. i didn't realize tat ela's PiLs were there till i showed mom the pix after tfrg them to my babyMac. hahaha... how oblivious can i get? ;P we weren't in the same bus so mayb tatz y. but i was in the same performance grp as them. yet i duno who they were. how ignorant of me. anyway, it was a great trip though there's one disappointmt: didn't get to go snorkel/jet ski/any of them water sports. y? coz the tide was low n we were short of time. *sobz* ah well... mayb nxt time.

i tink i've changed. i'm less caring now. more ~~selfish~~ self-centred. mayb the words of someone has begun to sink in n thus i care more abt myself. but i dun like it tis way. i think it's better to care more abt others. but then again ppl also say that in an emergency situation, save urself first before saving others. so... i duno. kinda confused right now. but ya... i think i'v little tolerance for ppl who assert their 'authority'. i get really blunt n mayb sarcastic when i say somethng to these ppl. not very nice of me i must say. but i cant stand it. others might prefer to juz grouse abt it in the absence of such 'authority' but me... depending on my mood, i might juz say it in their face. however, if after airing my view in their face n they still think that their view/order stands, then i'll juz hold my tongue n let them b. no point wasting my breath, words n saliva to someone who thinks that only they r right.

i miss daddy. ritez~ tat is sooo random! n i miss his performance last weekend. wish i was there to see. saw some pix of him wif a gitar. *swoon* hahhaa... nah~ i duno wat i want. i kinda know wat i dun want. so is tat alrite? probly not. may Allah guide me in making wise choices in life that will benefit me on earth n the hereafter. amin~

oh! u know wat... i go to great length for ppl i like. i'd do things for them even w/o them requesting me to help them. tat is not a new revelation but i juz wanted to say it. ;)

sighted saturn

2009-05-30T00:27:00.002+08:00

i should be sleeping right now. but i don't think i can if i don't blog this down.

i saw the coolest thing ever! went to madrasah aljunied today and managed to take a look through a telescope and see saturn. it was super cool! simply splendid i must say. =) the image is imprinted in mind (i just wish there wasn't such a long line behind me coz i really wanted to use my camera, put it at the eye piece of the telescope n adjust the settings so that i could snap a picture of it.) it was this white round thing with a ring across it. awesome! subhanallah~

saw zul kcr there. as well as my tutee from 3 yrs ago (or so). she totally remembered me lah! tetiba je ada org panggil "cikgu! cikgu!" i don't know why but i turned. this gal was so excited n happy to see me, it was clearly shown on her face. she asked "ingat tak?" n i'm sure my expression said it all. i couldn't recall who she was. =P so bad of me, rite? then she mentioned pasir ris. something seem to register but it was still fuzzy. her memory is just so amazing coz she even remembered my name! gosh! i m so ashamed of myself. i always either remember the face but not the name, or the name but not the face. ^^; must try to remember both!

ok... i think i really should sleep. it's past 0030hr and i've to be at sembawang pri at 0830hr. it's a long work day tmr. so wish me well! =) you all have a great weekend now, alrite?

2009-05-29T07:55:00.002+08:00

i juz feel like going back to sleep~

hahaha... ritez. sorry... it's not good to whine so early in the morning. though i must say i am really really sleepy rite now. no thanx to staying up late doing research (n playing games). ;p

so anyway, i am sooo not in the mood to work. the holiday mode is on. darn it! next week is the start of camp but we are so not ready. we haven't even rehearsed the skit!!! huargh! oh wait! i should be used to this by now coz this happened last year too. tsk~ don't they learn from the mistakes made in the past? they're juz letting history repeat itself. dang~

i'm ranting n i do hope you juz ignore me. haha... seriously. i only rant over here. but once i get my hands in, i'll still give my best (or at least that's what i think...heh!)

uh-oh! the clock has struck 8 n tat means tat it's time to scoot on out n off to the ofiz i go! have a great weekend (ya.. i know it's not really the weekend yet.) toodlez~

hanging on

2009-05-20T23:04:00.005+08:00

i'm supposed to blog about this for the longest time. but i never got ard to doing it. ^^; remember the other time i told you i participated in a double swap thingie? the swap is done and over with. i received my book (a good read i must say) n prezi. the prezi is reaaaaaaally sweet~ i love it! it was tangled when it came though. i had to untangle it n in the process, i'm sorry to say to the sender that i accidentally pulled out a few of the strings. =P but i managed to get them all to hang back on the creation that was sent. it's now hanging in all it's glory from the ceiling of the main hall. chk it out!

i love the colour n the minute i finished untangling the strings, it kinda look like a magical fairy garden. btw the prezi is supposed to be based on the book i sent over to my swap partner: Adventures of the Wishing Chair. ;) me n fantasy stories.. can't get enough of them. can i have my legolas, please? hehe...

anyway, this is my fave part of the prezi:

the butterfly n rainbow coloured crystal! i absolutely adore butterflies. it's a thing i have... it banks on the edge of obsession. just like how i have a thing for froggie stuffs (not really the real onez. juz plushies n such), catz, cookie monster and lizards(?!). ;)

ain't the butterfly n crystal just beautiful? i really really really (to the power of gazillion) love this part of the mobile. =D

oh ya! there is a last part to the prezi. a dainty chime set that i'm supposed to attach to the mobile. i didnt. heh... i hung it separately on the door of my wardrobe coz i love the sound of the chime. it's juz magical! perks my morningz (on most dayz anyway) n makes a great start to the day. wheee~

Everyting'z gonna b alrite

2009-04-30T00:56:00.001+08:00

D day didnt start out too well (i'm refering to wed). Though i got tingz done in d ofiz, it took longer than expected coz i used d wrong settingz on d copier. Bakane~
Then got called in by sup. They asked if i'v any1 to recommend to help in camp prep and/or bcome camp facis. Told them i'l help ask ard. Then they told me tat i cnt take leave in june. Pdhal i'v already told d camp ic ages ago. She said ok she dun mind. I was fuming. Tried to keep my cool. They said i shd try to understd their postn. They told me to go on leave after d camp. Wateva. I acted nonchalant n said 'tk ya holiday'. They probed. They asked. They insisted to know. I told them...n suddenly d tearz welled. Stil i tried to act cool. Haha. Didnt sob. Didnt snort. Juz wiped them away. They felt guilty. So guilty tat they asked for my leave to b approved. Gosh! I feel blessed.
I was stil mad though. Didnt really talk to them aftr tat. So i drew an emo pix in d mrt. Nt finished yet.
I called while i was teachg. He didnt pick up when i return call. C sms when i was learng. He was tinkg o meetg up to pass me d cd he told me abt d day b4. Had to take a rain chk. Mayb wil meet him over d wkend...if he doesnt go on a rdtrip.
Oh ya! Did u c d moon smile tonite? Itz a sign tat tingz r gonna b alrite. I even got to chat wif d kid on msn.

mon-E

2009-04-25T20:29:00.002+08:00

i juz watched wall-E. yah i know. really out dated. but whateva~ it's a sweet story. the ppl r like sooo fat! fat coz they nvr exercise. they juz sit ard on robotic chairs n go online. they travel everywhere on their robotic chairs. they lost all forms of human contact. they do nothing. everything's being done by robots. gosh! how lazy can we get?

anyway, i had a pretty long day. started wif a comm session @ onepeople.sg i didnt know wat went on in a comm session. now i do. it was pretty much a one way comm. i njoyed the magic show though. hehe... especially the part wif the butterfly fluttering out off the folder. sooo coool~ anyway, they seem to think that everything is money. or shd i say, they seem to have the mentality tat money makes the world go round. hmmm... wat shd i say to tat? i didnt say anything. but i sure dun tink money will change my mind abt something if i dun like it. ah well~

after tat i met up wif adha. had lunch at sakura then we chilled at esplanade. it's been ages since i went there. it was nice. the new outdoor amphitheater was windy. so it was cool chilling there. even got to meet uda. so chat with him as well. had to go back early though coz mom wanted me to accompany her to aunt's pl. BUT!!! skali tak jadi lah... coz aunt wasn't at home. =P spent the rest of the day reading, researching n watching shows. hehe...

therapeutic weekend

2009-04-19T21:59:00.002+08:00

when u r stressed, do these:

1. binge on food. anything tasty. tomyam, brownies, cakes, ice cream, chocz n d likes. do it for only one meal. don't b dependent on bingeing that u go on n on for days on end. u'll juz end up fat n then u'll b even more stressed n u binge more. it turns into a vicious cycle.

2. ~~play wif kidz.~~ be a kid. do silly thingz, sing silly songz, play silly gamez. juz let ur inner child out n njoy d moment n its silliness. laugh at all the silliness. nothing beats laughing to release them endorphin n make u feel goooood.

3. go shopping! make a list of things to buy n go shop for them. if u see something u really like, just pamper urself tis once n buy! juz b careful not to max ur credit limit. it will only cause more stress at the end of the mth when u get ur credit card statement.

4. watch a movie. a good movie works best. a movie tat sux juz doesn't make ur day. best genre to watch is a comedy. those movie that has the-world-is-ending theme also works. coz then u'd feel tat ur problems are rather miniscule compared to the characters in the movie.

5. hang out wif a fren (or two... or more). a good companion always chases the stress away.

if u r wondering... yup! i'm talking fr experience. well mostly. hehe... not tat i'll ever max my credit card (coz i dun have one) nor have i been fat before (have been the opposite of that all my life - underweight!). anyway, i'm good to face tmr! monday blues meet ur match coz yaney is here wif a BIG bright smile. =)

Pent up loneliness

Too much to bear

To mask d sadness

In a hope it'l pass

N bring me d happiness

we were learning about electricity. i asked the chn, "where does the power to light up a bulb comes from?" a boy answered with utmost confidence, "from Allah!" i was expecting them to say the switch or battery or something along that line. in a secular school, to hear that answer is praise be to Allah. oh darn! i'm hungry. but it's after midnite n i shd really go to sleep coz i'm also sleepy. *yawnz* yes! i shd sleep coz tis post is juz too random. haha... NITEZ!

met up wif psy yest evening. finally get to eat my long awaited ice cream treat. hehe... chocz galore!!! 3 scoops of choc flavoured ice creams (choc mint something, physhy choc something, choc fudge something... cant rmbr their exact names).. how yummylicious! with caramel (although the barrista tot we wanted hot fudge) and mini m&ms toppings. ooohlala~ thankz psy for the treat!!!

(our mix n match ice cream with caramel n mini m&ms toppings-taken by psy)

then we went to perform our maghrib at mjd bencoolen. i didnt know there's a masjid so near by. n how many times have i rushed fr cathay to mjd sultan? hahaha... oh wellz~ now i know. problem is whether or not i can find my way there again or not. you know me n my less than perfect sense of direction. =P

after that we went over to NAFA to watch a performance by the pbmuks. good show. though i'm surprised they had cross dressers n real alcoholic drink on stage. hmmm... hukum2 sume tolak tepi? i'm one to say. i went to watch the performance so tat means i'm in cahoots with them... no? dear God, forgive me for i have sinned. place me in your protection. dun let me forever be swept away by the vices of this temporary life. guide me to be a true muslim, in every sense of the word. amin...

i haven't written a letter for a loooooong time. usually everything is juz typed out. so why didn't i juz type out the letters? (yes! letters... i wrote more than 1 letter. 3 letters to be exact. heh...) coz the printer is low on ink n anyway i wanted tat personal touch tat only a handwritten letter can have. ;) ~~at the end of 3 letters~~ while writing the letters, my pointer n middle fingers suffered fr writer's pain. hahahaha... is there such a thing? i tink it's due to d way i hold my pen. or mayb it's the fact tat i've not written so much? eh.. cannot be. every week i write in class... ok je. oh! but all tat time i was using a pencil. my most fave medium! must be coz i was using a pen then. hee...

happy mail

2009-04-02T22:26:00.003+08:00

yup! yup! yup! it came thru the mail. all the way from the holy land of madinah. it's part of the double swap thingie i'm doing. coolness!!! can't wait to read it. oh ya! the book is entitled "you can be the happiest woman in the world". i am happy enough as it is but hey! more happiness wouldn't hurt. ;)

tmr's already fri. gosh! where did all the days go? i know i haven't been very actively blogging nor have i been replying to some sms. ^^; gomen ne minna. just had a lot a lot alot of things to do.

well then, since the weekend is almost here... i'd like to wish u a really wonderful weekend where ever u may b. *hugz*

i wonder why

2009-03-27T23:40:00.003+08:00

what is the meaning of this?

i was trying to view my own blog but tis came out. why??? so weird. =P

oh well... whateva!

theo has passed away...on thur morning!!! =P that's like less than 24 hrs fr the time i bought him. so sad! i feel so guilty. but even in death he served his purpose. coz he died, i could let the kidz touch his scales n show them his gills. ^^; thankz for everything theo. alvin n simon r still swimming ard in their plastic abode. i think i should get a water plant coz i read on the net that red tetras like dark places. if there's a water plant, they can 'hide' in the plant n 'feel' the darkness. hehehe... sori if i'm not making much sense. must b the cold med taking its effect... or maybe it's juz me n my sleepiness. ;P

i'm gona go collect my IC tmr. yeah! new IC. like finally! it's already more than 3 mths since my bday. at least i didnt wait till 6 mths. hehe...

alvin, simon, theo

2009-03-25T22:38:00.003+08:00

i bought three red eye tetra after work today. been contemplating whether or not to get them fishes. finally decided to get them from the pet safari. i hope they can live really long. so far i dun have much affinity wif fishes.

the first pet fish i had was a fighting fish. a bday prezi fr one of my budz. fighting fish are supposed to be hardy (as in they dun die easily) but mine only lasted for about a month or two. =P then i bought some guppies. for work purposes. to show the kidz live fishes. one of them died a few hours after being bought! must have been too disturbed by the 1hr trip fr the shop to the centre. heart attack? ^^; whateva it is, the other one survived for about a month or two as well.

so i sincerely hope these three tetras will live much longer. they're following me ard tomorrow. i hope it's not too much of a disturbance for them. i'm naming them alvin, simon and theo (though i have no idea if they're male or female. they look male to me). hehe...

p.s. i'm not sneezing like yesterday but my nose is sometimes blocked still.

sniff sniff

2009-03-24T11:08:00.002+08:00

man~ i think i'm coming down with a cold. must rmbr to buy some meds on d way home or later during lunch. sooo no mood to work.

cold cold go away
don't come back another day
little yaney wants to play

heheeh... n when i have a cold... i bring a really BIG hanky around. hmmm... actually it's not even a hanky. it's a bandana but since i dun use bandanas (i wonder why i have so many in my cupboard) on my head, i use it on days like these. to blow my nose with. =P i juz hope i dun pass these germs to the kids n make them sick.

black is one of my fave colours.

black is classic.

black is beautiful.

black is boring... yet it's a mystery.

black is so many things and more.

u shd watch this hindustani movie entitled BLACK. amitabh bachan stars in it. it's a moving story abt a girl who's blind AND deaf (kinda like helen keller) who was taught by a dedicated teacher. he was like a magician to the family and of all the words he taught her, there was one that he didn't: impossible. for someone who doesnt know the meaning of impossible, she overcame all odds and managed to get herself a degree...eventhough it took her thrice as long. in her graduation speech, she mentioned that Black is not a colour of darkness that binds, it is the colour of knowledge, the colour of the graduation robe that the graduates were wearing... (something along those lines) so touching. touching becoz the teacher that taught her, contracted alzheimer's disease n couldn't see her go on stage as he had once promised her. but somehow, eventhough his alzheimer was in the critical stage, she nvr gave up hoping and striving till she managed to make him remember. juz becoz she doesn't know the word impossible n becoz he taught her the true meaning of black.

in life, there's always some black moments. we juz have to rmbr to strive on, persevere, have faith and keep walking towards the light. after all... the brilliance of the fireworks will be underplayed if the dark night didn't provide it with a black backdrop.

one more day

2009-03-19T23:27:00.002+08:00

tmr's friday! yeah! one more work day n then it's the weekend! although i dun have any plans this weekend (juz like any other weekend), i'm still looking fwd to it. i could go to the gamelan performance at nus. tapi nak gi dgn sape ehk? wonder if cuzie's gg. mayb i'll sms him tmr to ask.

went to a wedding reception on sunday PM with mom. it rained heavily. good to see the sedaras. even got to meet n chat a bit with raihana. she's got 2 girls n pregnant wif a 3rd (not sure if the baby's gona be a gal / boy... didn't get to ask coz she was looking for a pl to sit n it was too crowded to have a decent conversation).

had dinner wif mamang n fam @istanbul. tiger nestum sedap! hahaha... i mean the oat prawn or wateva they call it. cik medok lah cakap tiger nestum. she wanted to say tiger prawns. then they recalled another occasion where she wanted baby squid but instead ordered baby doll. hehe... so funny!

2009-03-11T19:17:00.002+08:00

there was a beautiful big fullmoon last nite. did u see it? it was really really beautiful! so beautiful that i walked all the way passed the interchange n wanted to walk to the mrt. hahaha...

too bad i didnt have my camera with me. tried taking a pix using my z610i but it wasn't a good shot. sad sad... =P but nvm. i'm still glad i got to witness it with my own eyes. did i mention tat the moon looked really near n big? yes it did! nearest i've ever noticed. usually, even when i'm at home (which is on the 7th floor), the moon still looked so far away.

and there were stars in the sky too. really cool! oh shux~ i think my vocab juz shrank. hahaha... i've been repeating the same words a few times too many. =P

in tat case, i think i'll juz stop here. it's already mid week. so so so fast! can't wait for tis sat. wheee~
