Role reversal
So in our household there is somewhat of an oddity at works. My brothers love to cook (ok, one of them loves to, the others like it more than I do), and I am particularly averse to standing anywhere near the kitchen stove. On the other hand, I am quite enamored with any kind of hardware/tool. Screwdriver. Compass. Spirit level. Power drill. Yum!Our house seems to have a doorknob demon; so far 4 doorknobs have messed up. Twice in my brothers room, once my parents, and most recently (just now) our doorknob refused to open. My brothers' room was rea ...
queasy
why kimi, why? i wouldn't have minded (as much) if you just lost it on your own but to ruin poor sutil's race...leaves me a lot of explaining to do...obviously tricky conditions and all, but still, sutil would've had his moment...better luck next time
In a land far, far away…..
T watched the second installment of The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince caspian, today. it was ok..some parts were good, some ok, some...cliched, it was after all a disney movie. i was given the feeling it was meant to be an emotional journey for the characters, but the only part in which they really succeeded in thoroughly portraying these emotions was their sense of desperate longing for narnia, how they missed it and their sadness in knowing that it was all temporary. The Brazilian word 'saudades' is described as "it is a deep feeling of longing ...
3rd times a charm…
It's Shakira's birthday tomorrow so we all went out, me, Sumeyra, Hiba, Nada, and Shakira, to Sunway pyramid. the whole journey alone took an hour and a half - but we were on a mission. Today, we would go ice skating!!! YEA!!!! hehe last time i skated was when i was 7, my god how embarassing for a canadian, only skated twice in her life. Today marked the third time i was on the ice. Nada didn't want to at first, after seeing the people on the rink as well as Sumeyra's unhelpful gore story of how someone's fingers were sliced off by the blades. bu ...
Damn you, Murphy!!!
As in, Murphy's Law. let me tell you two stories1. the other night, i was really thirsty so i went downstairs to get a bottle of water from the fridge. but when i opened the fridge, a cicak (small house gecko thing) scampered in and hid somewhere around the vegetable crisper box. now i really hate cicaks, they really gross me out (because of a certain incident) anyway i pulled the vegetable box out, but it wasnt there. i thjought, ok maybe i imagined it. but when i put in back in, the cicak was on the fridge floor, kinda injured i guess from bein ...

The changing of fickle minds
soooo port dickson bottomed out, because of certain and numerous complications. we ended up crashing ayesha's house instead (kesian her brother, had to lock himself in his room for 2 days:P) but in the end, i think we all had a great time! ala didn't know about her surprise party, she thought we were just heading to ayesha's for lunch. we decorated the place with whatever we had, namely colorful scarves and those belly dancing things you tie around your waist, she has tons of them. we even made a paper plate 'banner' which was deemed 'so childish ...

a funny but serious week
serious because my exams are coming up fast and thick - see previous entry.weird - i had the weirdest dream this morning - my old school (iis in the jungle) had wild animals roaming around. like, wild vicious wanna-rip-out-those-kids-throats kinda vicious. first there were wolves. 3 of them. they went after this kid with a blue t-shirt on. somehow i growled at them as a lion would, so that they'd leave him alone. they did, but came towards me instead. so i had to rush to lock all the doors of the 4th floor (thats where i was, but it didn't have p ...
La-di-da
I’ve been eating alone a lot lately…its so sad…last night my lonely dinner consisted of 2 pau's.one kari ayam and the other chocolate.Today in halaqah I got the “sis, are you a foreigner?” again. No, I’m malay, I reply. In my head though, yeah, I’m a foreigner, in my own country, and everywhere I go.on the way back from halaqah, which ended at 10 p.m., a bird flew across the road (like, in the sky, but it was flying at tree level) the way it was flying was... different. so i actually crossed the street and stood under the tree it had perched in a ...
An Account of how my day went Wrong
Today actually started last night. I was working on my group assignment. Of course, my group members contributed, but in contribution, I mean, go to wikipedia and copy the information. A kid could’ve done that. Even though I wasn’t really done, I had to go to bed at 1, because tomorrow (today) I needed to meet one of my group members at 10. we had agreed. I actually suggested 11, since I know she wakes up late, bt she said 10 was better. Ok. So I go to sleep. Wake up at 9.15 to get ready and stuff. I go and shower. I need to iron my clot ...
when i have the laptop i can blog…
30th Jan 2008 What a day…this morning I woke up on time, but I still got out a bit late, so I practically ran to class. But when I got there there were only 2 people in the lecture hall. Weird. The lecturer wasn’t there but I thought that’s ok, he tends to come a bit late anyway. So we sit around and soon 1 or 2 more students come. And no one else. Then we get a text saying no class! Then in the evening I had to wait for my laptop to save and hibernate so by the time I got out of my room I only had 5 minutes to make it to class on time so this ...

warm ears and rollicking tummies
I've been very jumpy and nervous all week long, well last week since its monday. even today. i had to present my project and i wasn't really prepared, i knew what i wanted to say but i didn't get a chance to rehearse all of it in my head or arrange all the points into a nice flowing explanation. ah anyway. the lecturers said my design was good, and they seemed to really like it, so thats a relief.this is my project. for more pictures go to my facebook account.my stomach gets all giddy when i'm nervous. i also seem to smile a really wide cheesy be ...
