Happy Hari Raya

I dunno wat happened , but when I woke up my mom asked me to get dressed - we're going shopping ( again !! In 4 consecutive days!!! ) So this time , I went to Pyramid straight and withdrew some cash to purchase that red skirt . Yes , THAT red skirt . But then again , I thought it was far too much for a skirt . Plus , I could buy more stuffs and get better bargain with that money . So I thought.. Hmm.. why don't I get a new pair of jeans ?

Funny cos my mom and my sis keep reminding me that I have 13 pair of jeans , just waiting to be worn , but hey , a basic tee and jeans are like my daily uniform . But since my love for jeans was just too overwhelming when I visited Esprit , I tried on some groovy , stylish and fancy jeans , and bought my 14th pair of jeans ( as my mom put it ) . And another top , of course .

There are times when I had to learn to let go , and those were the moments I felt just now . Bimbo-cally speaking - I had to let go of the red skirt . And , in the fitting room of Esprit , choosing 1 out of 8 other jeans didn't make my life easier too .

But anyways , I think my condition has gotten worse . I have a fever now even though I just took Panadol . Throat still feels sore , and the flu , needless to say - the mucus flowing like River Nile ! And Raya's coming really really soon !!! And I'm leaving for JB tomorrow morning !

What's scary is the news have been doing reports road accidents all night - which is pretty scary if you'd ask me . But hey , let's not be pessimistic .

I'm sorry I didn't send out any cards this year , I've been pretty busy . So here I am doing it in the virtual world .

But anyways , the usual : I'd like to wish all my friends ( the Muslims , obviously ) a Happy Hari Raya , and Maaf Zahir Batin - in which this time I really mean every single word I say . For all the wrongful things I've said and done to everyone I know , intentionally or unintentionally , I'm apologising for it now . Let's start anew : zero-zero k? Eleh, after all , its not like you've never sinned towards me right ? Love you guys !!! ( Just kidding !! OMG - I'm doing it again ) And this goes out to everyone out there . Have a festive celebration and enjoy all the good food , cos Ktjians - don't dream of getting any of em in our dining hall ! ( haha , ask Farah and Alia , they'll agree with me )

I'm gonna let the drugs do their job now - I'm gonna go sleep . Till then , c ya !

Sick Again

It's been a good day since Saturday , the Diwali and Raya Break . After I dropped all my big bags and dirty laundry home , I went shopping with my mom . Bought lotsa stuffs . More clothes , more shoes , more handbags , more perfume and more body care products . Surprisingly , I even bought a red bikini ( which I don't even know if I'll wear it in public with nothing else ) . Perhaps when my body is more toned , perhaps in the next milennium .

It's so unfair . During the fasting month , I pray 5 times a day and I drink lotsa water after buka , all the way till sahur . Yet I woke up Sunday morning with a sore throat so bad that I wish I my dentist would inject some painkiller just to make the pain would go away .

But hey , I thought its just a bloody sorethroat . So to make myself feel good , I went shopping with my mom ( again ) and my bro . This time I became his fashion consultant . My brother , being the second child in the family is forever lost in his own world . He never buys clothes unless we ( the girls of the family ) bring him out to buy some . And he's the type who doesn't care - any shirt will do ( Unlike Mark who only wears Armani ) . So when I dragged him into Calvin Klein Jeans , he said the clothes were too fashionable , and some designs were too girlish . Ok . So I also brought him into Timberland - and despite the price factor , he's not willing to spend that much on just a piece of cloth . And the colours were apparently for "old" people . Some other shops - too gay .

(P/S : CK and Timberland , pls don't sue my bro for defamation ! He's just a boy who's lost when it comes to fashion )

Not to give up . So I brought him to Topshop . Finally he found something at Topman , which I also happen to approve . The problem with Topshop clothes - they cost a bomb but some of the designs look dirt cheap . I'm sorry but it's true . And after that I brought him to Renoma , and thank God he found lotsa stuffs that interested him . Ok - so that was shopping for my bro .

Remeber the red silk skirt for MNG ? I tried it on yesterday . I swear its not the illusions from the mirrors , I look super hot in the skirt ( I have always looked hot in red anyway , it's really my colour ) . And as I mentioned , it was RM 315 . So I asked the shop assistant to keep it aside for me while I go and withdraw some cash ( why use credit cards when you have cash right ? It defeats the whole purpose of it being called "credit" card ) . And OMG - I actually went shopping for shoes , then it was only when I reached home that I forgot all about the skirt !!! I hope no one grabs the skirt before I do .

Please just leave the red skirt ( yes that little piece of heaven ) in size 38 alone .

When I got back home , my sorethroat got worse , but I didn't wanna waste my whole day of fasting . So I just played PS2 all the way till 7pm . I really wasn't in the mmod to see the doctor - I already know what he's gonna prescribed for my sorethroat , in fact I wished I could just go to the pharmacist and get it myself . First its Amoxycilin 250mg , then its Curam 650mg . But , no , the bloody damn regulation requires a prescription from a certified doctor . So I just drank lotsa water and sucked on a few lozenges .

Anyway , the real purpose of me blogging today is to share with you my new intersting hobby - DOING LAUNDRY . Hey , don't gimme that look . Of course , I've always hated housework . I remembered one time my mom asked me to mop the floor , I just sat there and cried . Then my dad came from upstairs and did the mopping for me instead . So after that , my mom never asked me to do housework anymore . We also once had the rotating dishwashing system . Everyone does the dishes alternately . First my dad , then my mom , then me , my bro and my sis - and it rotates accordingly . Then my skin started peeling . And the next day - a dishwasher was delivered to my house . Haha - I'm such a spoilt brat . I know .

But lately , when I come back from ktj during the hols and all , I actually do the laundry , which surprises my whole family !! But then again , try and get those brains to work . It only makes perfect sense - since I'm such a shopaholic ! Since I spent so much on clothes , I must take good care of them . I must care and tender to them , following their needs . If they're too delicate for the washing machine and the dryer , I hand-wash them . I've never been so proud of myself !! But bere are a few factors trigerring my love for doing laundry .

Some people just don't read . The labels always say - wash dark colours separately . What is just so hard to understand ?

The laundry system in KTJ really sux . My white shorts always come back pink in colour . What kind of idiot washes dark colours and light colours together ?
My parents love to shove my expensive jeans in the dryer . They'll crumple !!! And the colours bleed to other clothes !!! And they fade way faster then its actually supposed to !!!
No matter how hard I iron , the wrinkles won't go away . Lesson learnt : Jeans and clothes dryer - they just don't go .
Last month , there was actually nothing white in my wardrobe . It's because my white garments were all washed with dark colours . So most of them are , without any surprise , PINK . And unevenly spread .
I even had to buy new pairs of school socks because they were all pink
I actually feel good after doing laundry ( stop giving me weird looks ! )
Some dry cleaning stores have cute guys waiting at the counter . You also meet new people . Of course , you don't wanna spend RM 2000 on a nice blouse and spoil it by sending it to the washing machine , right ?
Doing laundry is actually fun ! How could anyone not like it ?

Ok , my nose is killing me . They just won't stop producing mucus !!! It's bad enough that I have sinus , now I can't stop blowing . Another wasted day - I had to break my fast to take some flu pills . I'm gonna go get some hot soup and later admire my wardrobe . And maybe organise my shoe cupboard . Now I have a bad sorethroat and a bad flu . Damn .

The Tramadol Curse

Ok - Cambridge Interview and Written Test over , so now it's time to concentrate on Accounting !!! Damn...

So anyway , I had a really really great weekend . I went shopping both Saturday and Sunday . Wouldn't it be nice if I could do it everyday ? Well , that sounds like the bimbo speaking . Shopping with my mom on Sunday was fun , cos naturally , its nicer when you have your bank right next to you . Your liquidity position really improves .

I bought like loads of clothes !! A gorgeous brown knee length skirt , green tank tops , and loads of baby tees ! Also 2 pairs of shoes ! Awesome ! I need a new shoe cupboard now . And thank god Petronas has finally banked in the accrued scholar money .

I saw this really nice pink skirt in MNG which costs RM315 , and a really really gorgeous vintage looking brown suede skirt in Esprit . It costs RM399 . I dunno which one to get , or worse , I don't even know if I should get them in the first place ! Opinions , anybody ?

And yes , after this Friday's Accounting paper , I'm gonna continue on my shopping spree . Everyone who knows me will know that my 3 or 4 figure bank account balance won't last for more than a week . I can't help it !!! Shopping is such an addictive drug !

Ok...for those who've been waiting .

I've been suffering from back pains lately . Really bad . So matron brought me to see an orthopaedic at the Seremban Specialist Hospital . When I did the x-ray , my bones were in perfect condition . Nothing's wrong with it at all . So he suggested I come for an MRI scan the following week .

Then he prescribed me some painkillers to ease the pain . Obviously . They're apparently called Tramadol and Arcoxia . It was Wednesday . My Cambridge interview was right next day .

So that night , I took both pills . The pain did go after sometime . But on Thursday morning , when I woke up for sahur , I didn't feel giddy at all . In fact , my head felt so heavy that I could faint because of the throbbing pain !! And what did the doctor tell me ? "You'll feel a little bit giddy , but it'll wear of very fast" . Oh really ?

So I had to knock on my matron's door at 5 in the morning for something to help me with the giddiness . So I ate the pill , and couldn't fast , obviously . And then , The Vomitting Marathon begins . I was puking my guts out . There was no way to control it , it just came out . But after that , I would feel better cause the giddiness goes off , but , only for a while .

Before we left for the interview , yeah , it just had to come out . I vomitted right in front of the staff's common room . What an embarassment !!! Then , once again right before the interview . Then another after the interview . And several times more after that .

Tramadol - the worse painkiller ever . So much for feeling a lil giddy and it wearing of very fast . Yeah , relatively fast if you compare it to my 2 years in KTJ !!! It took me 2 days for the ehadaches and giddiness to finally be over !!!

What's surprising about my Economics Cambridge Interview ? My interviewer asked me to plot him a y = 1 / sin x graph . And the rest is history .

More stories later . I just gotta spill some first .

Lani - I'll find the entry for you . By the shoes , you meant the pink sandals with Svarowski crystals embedded on them right ? =)

You Decide

I'm not making a generalisation here , so open your eyes wide .

The problem with some drivers are , that their cars are really big yet they iq is way smaller than their waistline .

There was once these aneroxic ( i'm not making this up ) Chinese girl driving a BMW making a U-Turn exactly where above it , was a NO U-Turn sign . She must be either blind or stupid . Or both .

Then there was this man who was nicely putting his elbow on the top of his car talking to his spouse with the engine running , when I was somewhere not far waiting for that damn parking spot with my signal on . And he talked for quite a deal of time . Stupid , dumb , deaf or blind , you decide .

There was one fat woman who unloaded her groceries into her car . ( This happened earlier 2day ) Then she gracefully catwalked to return her trolley . While her husband , waiting in the car . After almost a few eternities , she returned , still walking very slow to her car . I dunno if her 20-40-60 figure was the reason she was walking freakin' slow , too much momentum , I guess . On purpose or force of nature , you decide .

Another two aneroxic Chinese girls sped past me and a few other passer-bys in a freakin' parking lot . What was their problem ? Speeding in parking lots . Ignorant or uneducated , you decide .

A few men stared at me while I was driving . Stared . Clearly , it's not my fault that when their heads turned back to the front , they bumped into another car . Well almost . Then you hear tyres screeching and emergency brakes . Or when their girlfriends give them painful pinches on their arms . Pretty Hillarious , actually . Or not ? You decide .

Hmm....

I Know , I Know

I know almost everytime I come and blog , I whine or rave about the same thing over and over again . One time I'm like a pessimist , one time I sound so shallow like my life actually revolves around all my miseries . LoL =P . How dramatic . Yeap , that's my middle name . Misz-Dramatic-Amnie... Hehe =p

But I can't help it . My mid term break is coming to an end now - how unfair !!! And it's time to go back ? Grrr... Yet it hasn't really been a holiday for me . My days were joyously filled with mountain-high laundry and long lists of bills to pay . That would mean the endless queues at the post office - which apparently has a very convenient system - 4 counters were built but out of 3 times I went , only 2 successful counters were open . Guess its our kinda thing . Remember that you'll never find all the toll booths open ? Exactly .

Also , my cats ( Tweedledoo and Tweedledee Peepers ) are so stinky !!! Although the back door is locked , somehow the smell just make their way through the whole house . And it takes hours to dissipate . Just becos they're cute , they think they can do anything they want . A house cat's life is so fun . Sleep , play , eat , defecate . Sleep , play , eat and defecate . And ocassionally make noise when your owner gets a lil late feeding you . Or just get cheeky for no reason at all . Other than that , without any interuptions in the cycle , the same life cycle goes on .

I'm so lost in LOST now . Yeah - I bought the whole season 1 on DVD just cause I wanted to know what happened on season finale . But I have two other really satisfying reason , Boone and Sawyer . Really , eye candies just make my day . Not literally , if you know what I mean . Sawyer is the typical bad boy I would always fall for . Over and over again . Haha - but he's blonde . Boone's cute but he's in love with his sister - The Unforbidden Love . So not kool . And he dies in episode 25 , anyway . It's ok , I'm still loving you !! =p

I'm actually almost screwed . My stuffs I brought back from KTJ is everywhere , ( I mean everywhere ) I even havta sleep im my mom's room cos my bed is so full of stuffs . Clothes , of course . And guess what ? I gotta start packing already ! But whatever it is , in 2 weeks time , it's the break that I look forward too . The Diwali and Hari Raya break . Gotta be brave and strong till then . Haha =p

Urm....I wanna go watch LOST again . C ya !!!

Girls and Hot Waters

You might wanna take me seriously on this

Girls ,

Avoid showering in hot water . It makes your skin sag , therefore it makes your boobs sag . God , we're not even 20 , so pls don't let this happen 2u !!!

Of course , you might say it's not true , but hey , it's your choice .

And obviously when showering at nite you use hot water instead of cold , becos it only makes sense that way . Also becos when nighttime its cold , so cold water is bad for the bones . And hot bubble baths are also an exception becos I know , it's like a theraphy to some .

But apart from that , avoid it at all costs !! ( with the exceptions above , obviously )

Shopping is my ultimate theraphy

Before I start , a lil note to the bitchy girl who sent me a note at my tag board .

Hey bitchy girl . I happen to be living on the same planet as you are , and newsflash - I live in KL too ! I hate the fact that there's too many cliffhangers . Of cos I look forward 2d next season . I LOVE Desperate Housewives and they rock !!! Didn't remember condeming the show ... Read between the lines . Btw , FYI , Desperate Housewives Season 2 is coming out in 3 weeks time . AND , You're welcome .

TC - I'm not desperate . It's just a rant . But u gotta admit its true . Hahaha . Suddenly feeling all protective for your species eh ? Lol =p

And Lala - scroll on down left section under my other interests : Bigoo . Click on it . But don't pick the same background as mine !!!

And time for my blog .....

Shopping rox !!! It's such a therapy for me !!!! It cures my stress , PMS , headaches , moodswings and lots more . Aaahh... I never felt so relieved before . Feels like I'm on top of the world ! Maybe I'll go shopping tomorrow again . By that , I don't mean window shopping .

Shopping ( apart from buying shoes ) is the ULTIMATE THERAPHY for me .

Call me a bimbo or an airhead , I don't care . You're not that all full of brains anyway .

Haha =p

I Miss My Friends

Yay - I'm back home for a week finally . Hmm... lotsa things to do in my To-Do List ! Since the list is so bloody long , it makes my 1 week break so short . But , I'm just so glad that I'm back home . Free from any KTJ .

Can't wait 2 go shopping !! I know I should be preparing for my exams but hey , it's been a long time since i last went shopping - the last time 2 weeks ago . That was SO long ago .

Btw , Faiz , you can still call me , you know .

Just now Ridz called me from Illinois and we talked for 34 minutes . Hehe =p . Hey Faiz go use your student idd caller card or something . But I'll give ya a call sometime , I promise ( after my exams maybe ? hehe =p ) In case I haven't said it yet , I really do miss you , ok Ridz ? I miss every single friend of mine who has left Malaysia . Well , there's always the summer break , you'll all come back . I know you all can't survive without the "pedas" food over there . Muahahaha

And I hate you so much Fatin . I know chocolates in the UK is cheap - especially the local made ones ! Wah !!!! This is so unfair . Here I am paying at least RM2.20 for a decent bar of chocolate , and there you are only paying 20p per bar ? What the hell ? Even after converting the currencies , it's still cheaper . It's ok . I'm going there next year - hopefully . Soon , Fatin , soon .

And Kat ? How's LSE ? Lol =p

Who wants to Buka Puasa with me ? I've got a few appointments booked already . Hehe =p

I wanna go watch 50 First Dates Now .

Later !

Don9te3n , Talentime

We made it through audition . But , we didn't win cos there were only 2 places 2 grab , 4 the love of god !!

But anyway , apart from the fact that a small pick got stuck in Akmal's guitar , I'd say our performance rocked !!! I never had so much fun performing on stage .

Mark said I was so "maintain" while performing . He said I have I "I'm-too-good-for-this" look . Hey , I wanted to create the cool look , not the poser's !!! But anyway , he's such an idiot , he went and put my nice black bag in the pantry's fridge !!! He's thinking like an 8 year old right - I know !!!! But anyway , we're not here to talk about that spastic retard .

I feel that something's missing amidst all this . Yes , now that Talentime has ended , we don't have jamming sessions anymore , and I want those good old days back - where we I sacrificed our free period ( which I always use 2 catch up ony my sleep ! ) And the best part about jamming is , it makes me forget about every other thing and just focus on our music . It's true when they say music is such a beautiful thing . It is . It bridges gap , bringing people closer together despite our differences . Now , I feel like something is missing . But it's really time to focus on my upcoming exams . Which happens to be less than a month .

Oh , btw the keyboard here sux !! I've got so many typo errors I don't have time to correct . But I'm sure you all know what I;m trying to say .

So as promised , here are some pictures .

This was before we head to the hall . Me , tasha and faezah . Wawa's behind d camera .

Don9te3n , in the hall before our performance .
L-R : Faezah-vocalist , LeenLeen-bassist , Wawa- guitarist , Akmal-lead guitarist n me-the drummer ... =)

This is us , performing on stage , The Anthem by Good Charlotte .

Looking extremely happy n esctatic although we didn't win the war ; we won the battle !!!

I haven't really been collecting pictures so this is all I have . And if you're asking why the hat , it's my only accessory - hello , I'm behind drums . What else can you see but my head ?
