corky & cheesy

Assalamualaikum

it has been a long long long long long time that i last posted anything here, that i almost forgot my password and my blog URL and surprised by the corky-ness of my blog's name (???) :P i also am surprised (and a tad lost) with the new blogger layout. not very cool? looks too cold? why does every sentence has a question mark at the end? lotsa thing have been going on, is still going on and will be going on and on and on. for now, i cant sleep because some thing just creep into my mind and its halting me from dozing off and force me to think and ponder and feel and sulk. ahaha

lets layan this song di malam hari, shall we? tiba-tiba cheesy? just wait til the end of the vid - i loike!

pinch me!

Assalamualaikum.. :)

hey hey! i was just sitting on the couch watching TV and suddenly i remembered something that happened almost two years ago.. when someone introduced me to another someone and the first someone said to the other one that i was going to further my study.. and the second someone asked for  how long, i said two years, InsyaAllah.. and then time and again when i came back to Kuching, people would asked (especially grandparents, how cute!) "bila gik Aten abis blaja?" it was always, "sik lamak gik Nek.. setaun gik" and then "sik lamak gik.. enam bulan gik abis lah.." and then "taun depan Nek.. bulan tiga.." and now, it's 2012 and it is already February. i'm finishing in March, InsyaAllah.. will be graduating in April (with a BIG DEAL presentation that comes with it).. i'm nervous for the presentation, but i'm excited at the same time for finally arriving at the end of 'two years', and on top all i'm pump to do the finale design for my Diploma programme. though it doesn't really end after graduation (there's a-two-month internship after, yea yea its weird that we get to graduate before the internship), hey at least i am graduating right? teehee! syukur.. :')

i still am pinching myself from time to time, that i am finally done with the two years of studying ID. how time flies fast right.. i just have to let that out to make it sound more realistic. so i dont waste any more time lazing around on the couch watching TV, like i am doing just now. ngeeee. okay then. off to the student responsibility. yerdeh!

katakata

Assalamualaikum..

just a few food for thoughts..

my mom once said: kadang-kadang bila kita marah, kita jadi ter-kurang ajar.

and i am actually scared of myself when i am mad. unfortunately, lately i did blew up like never before. it was appropriate the thing i was mad at, but it wasn't appropriate at all what i did or said. it scares the people around me, it scares the hell out of me most of all.

a girl friend once gave me advice on surviving a relationship: don't mention other guys' name too much in front of your boyfriend. he'll eventually get bored of the relationship.

i took the advice, thankful of the reminder and live by it. though i know deep down i'm not gonna do it even if i wasn't told coz who would want to do that? isn't it too deliberately hurtful? but i don't think guys give smart advice like that to their pals. what a pity. what a shame.

oh so random!

i've abandoned this place for a while, i know. and i feel bad for it. truth is, nowadays i cant seem to put my thoughts into words. i have the time, most of it i spend watching tv or stalking other blogs, but not nourishing and fluorishing my own. it feels like i am pweety lazy lately. i am lazy to read too many text, i am lazy to calculate simple maths, i even feel lazy to feel. and i am afraid that i'm losing myself. i can feel that i am not really the person who i was before, lately. takut, takuuut aiee :( it could be works that consume me bit by bit, or this place. this busy city which waits for no one. things seem to pass me by just like that (while i'm watching tv. heh). i hope i know enough the difference of losing passion and maturity, though.

but before i went out for class thismorning, i get to watch Barbie in 12 Dancing Princess on TV3! yeay! i wish i could watch it til the end, but i have to do my grown-up duty. but i probably will look for the DVD later :P watching the princesses dancing in colourful dresses and enjoying myself while doing it somehow gives me hope that i still have that few bit of my old self within me :)

i used to congratulate myself infront of you people every three months of my success after each term, right? and i dont really do it anymore right?? i know, right. i think i missed two terms without doing so..? now i'm in the middle of the last term of the year. less than a month to go to get over and done with this one. and i'm through to the last term, with God's willing. almost a year and a half passed, just like that *plucking fingers*. as much as i dont want it to be over too soon (coz i love the lecturers. now, really..?), i cant wait to be done with it either! i dont know whats waiting for me ahead, but i am pumped to know and discover. people say its a bitch, but i think i am ready to walk ahead and trip and stand up and fight :) lets just see la kan :P

friends are married. lots of friends. a couple of good friends. and another one coming up this weekend. and these few friends are those whom i was and am very close to. one is my childhood bestfriend, the first friend whom i called bestfriend as a kid :) one is my rebellious partner whom taught me a thing or two bout living in a society in which boys and men exist. haha and one is my leg warmer friend. eh? i mean she's so cool that she warms me up with her kind words and perspective of life, whenever i feel like banging my head to the wall :) congratulations, you three! i wish you all the best! and i hope our kids will one day be friends like we are, too! :) :) :)

congrats Rabiah! :')

congrats Asha! :')

i know this is random, but i think another reason for me not writing, is that thoughts and ideas always come at the wrong place. right time though, but very wrong place. like in the bathroom..? and during lecture..? and while i'm driving..? right timing, i tell you. like those are my thinking momento. well i'm not suppose to think bout other things during lecture though, but some things lead me to another you see. but but BUT, i cant write the thought down cos i dont have a pen and a paper with me at that time! i dont carry a pen with me in the bathroom, do you? i cant write while i'm driving, you can aa? and i cant pretend like i'm writing notes when i'm actually writing an emotional blog entry  while i'm in the class, kannn?? hehehe but now! i'm in the class. finally.

they all went to the canteen, leaving notebooks and laptops just like that. its a safe place.

oh! about my birthday! :) about it.....

my hungry turtles

you like my new layout? you like? you like? i just think that i had enough of dull (brown) colour for my background, so i look for a fresher and brighter shades to feast your eyes! do you feel fresher??? heh apa kah dikerepak ku? but i love the layout before tooooo, so dont be surprised if i change it back to the old layout! hehe besides, i think i messed up my turtles' home on the left hand side of the screen. you see my turtles there? no turtles?? yea sometimes they're there, sometimes they wander off onto the sands sampei ilang. heheheh i dont know how to fix the size of the box. ekekekekek okay this is just random rambling on a Thursday afternoon. now i wanna cook my fish. i've been on a fish diet for two weeks. why?? coz i'm just bored of chicken! hehehe and and and i'm watching Harry Potter later in the evening! yipppyyyyy!!! dah boleh beli Harry Potter's dvd collection...! yeayy! sapa sapa rasa mok berik birthday present in advance, sela lah! ekekekekekek

                                 now you see..                                            now you don't!

toodles!

thank God it's Kuching!

i am currently in Kuching. been here for the past eight days. before i came back from KL, i had all these keazaman to update my blog and also my FB albums. BUT up til now, i havent done anything to both (this is the first attempt and i'm going off to KL soon). i rarely check the FB and i dont really log on to the blogger! then i start tracing back the root to my laziness/procrastination: when you're away from home, you have nothing else better to do than checking your account every now and then to peek on all the cool stuff thats happening that you're missing out, BUT when you're home, you're THE happening! so you dont really need those alam maya thingy to make you feel good or fill your time, coz you have real people in real time. betol sik???? cepat padah betol! erhh bottomline: my life in KL is dull la eh? you can say so, a bit lah :|

i have a cat name Fasha here. why the name, or how? well this tabby cat has white hair on her toes which makes her look as if 'berpaca'. you know, paca kuku ya bah, nail polish kata urang puteh. so instead of calling her 'Paca', i give class to the name hence 'Fasha'. hehehe bukan sempena Fasha Sanda ok. but then, as the cat grew bigger and older, she becomes ngegeh and very manjak. she's ngegeh around human - she doesnt want human to touch her, she'll run away when you go near her; she's manjak with her mummy and all other cats around - she'll come from whichever angle and poke her head to other cats' head, depan ka blakang ka tepi ka, tang ada ngesel palak nya ke palak pusak nak sekok gik ya. she usually do this to her mum lah. but if you start playing with other cats in front of her, she'll come and poke her head at you too. and thats her being ngegeh + manjak + jealous? and oh ya, she still drinks the milk from her mummy eventhough the milk are meant for the batches below her :| and then..... something happened. Fasha gave birth to three healthy kittens last Monday. at first, she looked like she didnt know what to do with the babies. beranak pun mengarei. first time bah, oo tedah. but when me and my sister put them all together in a box, she cant leave her babies even for a while! she's in the box for almost 90% of the day. she only comes out to eat, she doesnt even drink after eating but walks straight back to her babies!! she is the most loving mother cat we ever had in this house, serious aku janji! sometimes when i purposely flag the food in front of her so she would come out to eat, she ignores the food (mostly she ignores me) and continue being a caring & loving mother instead. so sweet lah u Fasha! but you're still ngegeh, alu jadi macam Fasha Sanda sikit sikit.

fifteen minutes ago i have a few more things on my mind that i want to share, but now, it looks like i forgot the points... hihihihi talk bout short attention span. macam pusak. oh i miss Mickey.

Kuching is so damn naisss!! want to stay here longer and not wanting to go back to KL soon can? pleeeeeease~

hey June!

helllloooo people!! it is officially a month since my last entry! it has been a very busy one month for me, with many ups and downs of mood swings, well mostly downs. if it does swing up, it only lasted for a moment and i'm back down the slope.. if i could make a graph out of my mood, it think it'll probably look like a drawing with two or three small hills with deep abyss in between. haha ok metaphor. i'm actually still in class, just finished a so-so presentation. standing and talking in front of a crowd always makes me say stuff i regret. HAHAHA lets just say it didnt go that well. ok thinking bout the presentation makes me sad...

will be having term break soon though! now that is something to look forward, right?? now lets get back to more submissions!

i ♥ t-shirt junkie

i woke up today feeling rather crappy. so i put on my 'I ♥ Melbourne' t-shirt hoping that the thoughts of happy times in Melbourne could cheer me up. and it did! with the help of Oreo McFlurry (on a hazy day) too! :D

ps: sorry this is not the entry bout Melbourne!

spread the 'ilm

i have stuff to blog about, but i cant find the time. cause i'm currently busy with my assignments and having fun (hehehe) and the stuff is maybe a bit too long. its already in the draft box, part of it. tapi belom abis.. hehe in the mean time, i wanna share a link:

www.syahirul.com

a blog which, InsyaAllah will make you think, and move your soul :) i'll give you a sneak peek:

"Barangsiapa yang mengiginkan pelindung, maka Allah cukup baginya.

Barangsiapa yang menginginkan teladan, maka Rasulullah cukup baginya.

Barangsiapa yang menginginkan pedoman hidup, maka Al-Quran cukup baginya.

Barangsiapa yang menginginkan peringatan, maka kematian cukup baginya.

Dan barangsiapa tidak cukup dengan semua itu, maka neraka cukup baginya."

so, enjoy reading. happy weekend! :)

ps: congratulations to those who are getting married soon, or has ALREADY gone through the solemnization recently. today was Ida's day! and Aizat & his beloved wife Balqis :) and Jal & Wani too ;)

another amazing term

Alhamdulillah. another 3months of studying ID have passed. i think 3D autocad was my BIGGEST challenge this term, and the pain i suffered during the finale week was an experience i will not forget. the long hours spent in the hospital bearing the pain while my mind panicked at every tick if the clock coz i wasnt even close to 50% done with my assignment which was due less in 2 days! and then as i heard the good news from the doctor, i rushed back to my work only to be tortured by the ununderstandable command of autocad. haha you know what i mean :p i almost gave up for the subject at 3am this morning. there was no one that i could ask at that time of the day. the closest hope i have was Abang. i thought maybe i can cry abit in front of him then he'll do it for me. yippy! but im not that shallow people :) i googled the 'how to', and i even look up on youtube. but i was hopeless. i keep on praying to Allah so i can go through this not-so-big-of-a-deal-come-to-think-of-it unfortunate event of my student life. hihi guess what! minutes later, i got an ilham! yes, Allah help open up my memory in this little brain of mine to recall back how my lecturer once taught us how to make it works. and yes i got it! talk bout the power of do'a :') Alhamdulillah...

another term break is here. and i am up for lotsssa fun and new stuff! hope everything goes well. InsyaAllah :)

till then, until i write again! :D

ps: Dearie, i miss u already!

good old songs

hey! have you ever walk into a retail store, or a restaurant especially a cafe and then your favourite song is on the speaker? so you stay in the shop pretending u'r browsing through the things that u dont really give a damn just to listen to the song til the end. (omg 'this I promise you' is on air right now) especially when they are songs that would bring back HAPPPPPPYY memories!!! :D :D and the best thing is the good old songs keep on coming and you think you will never get out of the store/restaurant/cafe until you listen to the whole playlist. so have you ever???? well I am experiencing it right now. and I am never getting up from this chair :D

ps: maybe I should just ask if I can have a copy of the playlist??

i was blogwalking on tumblr and i found these:

so what are your words?

mine: naked, hate & malice. hahaha

(source: google image)

yeah, i have the malice instinct of psychologically torturing Apiz sometimes. but i did it in the most lovable way that you like it right dear?? -_-'' sorry dearie..

and this one, is somehow true in the strangest kinda way, and no matter how hard we try to deny it, it is the reality. tell me what you think.

WHEN YOUR FRIENDSHIP WITH SOMEONE IS SLOWLY FADING,

AND YOU JUST SIT BACK AND WATCH/READ

ABOUT ALL THE FUN THEY HAVE

WITH THEIR NEW FRIENDS ON FACEBOOK:

(source: petisuara)

so true, right? still,i dont want to lose any friends. i miss my beloved five besties so bad right now. i miss all the six of us hanging out together. to Sheila, Asha, Ina, Mym & Wani, no matter what happens i love you girls to pieces, and i still want you girls to be there on my wedding day, and on all the important days of my life, for you girls were a part of me that have somehow helped shape me of the person who i became today, and you girls are still a part of me, for always.

*group HUG pleasseee!*

i'll update more soon!

yes you

right this moment, i am missing so many person, so many things, so many memories.

i miss the girl whom i confide in back then. i miss crossing the road while holding my bestfriend's hand. i miss zaman Parkson-TJ-SP. i miss the girls night out. i miss listening to Maroon 5 in the car with the girls. i miss camwhoring at that gelato cafe opposite Hilton (whats its called, again?). i miss the girl who picked fight with me. i miss having familiar faces around. i miss the adolescent innocence. i miss the potluck party. i miss school memories. i miss the evening sunshine. i miss that night i travelled alone back from Melaka. i miss hugging Ina. i miss aikido. i miss having someone i know living overseas. i miss the smell of the first birthday present Apiz gave me. i miss birthday cards. i miss the 16 year old me. i miss the 20 year old Apiz. i miss everything and everyone. i even miss doing what i did today.

if you're reading this, yes you random reader. if we have a memory together, even one tiny bit of a smirk or a wink, i miss you. yes, YOU :) :) :)

live fashion love music

first and foremost: Alhamdulillah Alhamdulillah i'm done with term two ID!!! finish one semester. less than two years to go. the feeling is indescribable. as long as i havent submitted my works to the lecturers, hati belom boleh menangis kegembiraan and kesyukuran, only can nangis kebingungan and ketensionan. the minute i handed them all over, there were fireworks bergabung and meletup in the heart, and yes i did cry one or two tears of happiness. Alhamdulillah :')) marilah kita menyanyi bersama dahulu sebelom i start rambling in this bahasa rojak entry..

Alhamdulillah.. pujian bagi Allah

Subhanallah.. maha suci Allah

Allahu akhbar.. Allah maha besar

segala puji hanya bagi Allah

bila dipuji kejayaan kita

sebenarnya bukan milik kita

oleh itu sedarlah sentiasa

semuanya dari Allah

[ haaaaaa! ingat sik lagu ya? i love Raihan's songs! their lyrics are super catchy. sangat sesuai untuk nembiak kecik nak belajar nak ngapal the basic vital bits of Islam. another song i always have in my head is lagu 25 Rasul, singing it is the way i memorise all the 25 names :) ]

so, i've been meaning to write an entry bout me going to the Yuna vs. Hana event like right after i got back home from it. TAPI!! 1-final submission in a week (then)!! ; 2-malas. maseh super excited (then) sampei tangan trembling dont know what to write. ewah! ; 3-naaahh. only 2 reasons. hehe

my main aim and reason to go to the event was to watch Yuna perform. as i told you guys before, i've been waiting and waiting and waiting for Yuna's next performance. i missed quite a number before. her album launching, her performance in Aswara; and Yuna vs. Hana was my next hope! TAPI! i didnt get to see her this time either. veryyy disappointed and heartbroken. for the record, i loike Yuna's songs. i love what she's doing for our local music industry. i admire her songwriting and her voice and her talent strumming the guitar, and i want to see her sing live as many times as i could. the last time i watch her performed live was at Urbanscape last year. though i sound like a fanatic fan, i dont really look forward into meeting her. macam, sik jumpa face to face salam salam pun sikpa. yang penting, i watch her sing hidup-hidup depan mata! paham? so, very the disappointed lah sikpat masok into the black box and watch her sing. i redha, masih bukan rezeki to watch Yuna perform.

there was a meet and greet session after Yuna performed and Hana showcased her designs. i think there were like 300-400 people there at the event, and everyone was lining up to take photos with the duo. me and my two friends didnt want to join the line first, what we did? we bantai makan cupcakes and cakes that they served on the table. penuh jak mulut dgn chocolate cake, kakya kelakar ngan urang. sungguh tidak graceful -,-'' we havent had our lunch ok that day, and that was already around 5pm. all because we wanted to be there early to get in the black box tapi sik dapat juak. owh ya, sesat juak before that. pergi to the other Solaris. heh. nang dugaan ariya. nonetheless, i did take a couple of photos with Yuna. still, taking photos with her is not enough to compensate the loss of not watching her sing :(

about the crowd. there are tonnnnnes of beautiful ladies at the event. and 99% of them wear the hijab. for single men (yang belom ada gf SAHAJA!) yang nak mencari jodoh (para mak nak carik jodoh pakei anak boleh juak), mungkin boleh betemu ngan potential spouse di sini ya. haha tapi hati-hati, coz ada juak nak kacak cun melecun sebenarnya dah kawen and ada yang dah beranak pinak. but thats exactly my point, beautiful ladies with hijab at each and every corner you turn your head. i think you rarely found this kinda event elsewhere in Malaysia. and most of them dressed up very daringly almost like you're watching the girls in Upper East Side of Gossip Girls. yerdeh! some of the fashionistas are familiar, they are bloggers - fashionista bloggers - which i often stalk. hehehe for me lah, these bloggers which i usually see their photos only on my laptop screen, when meeting them in real life, macam jumpa artis jak. ekekekek macam malu-malu mok tegur. daknya famous, semua orang kenal. macam ya la lebeh kurang. kekekeke and because of my malu-ness, i didnt have the courage to greet them and ask if i can snap a photo with them. except for one! tok pun because macam dah terkantoi mala jak terjelin-jelin ngan nya. and sekali ya nya tertangga i menjelin nya. akakakak malu sik malu, tanyak jak la. nang dah malu pun. hehehe so this is Pka!

rasanya i only saw her face a few time which is very minimal counts, tapi sekali tangga terus ingat muka nya. krana, sejujurnya nya cute. haha i think i kinda have a girl crush on her. ahaha and it is very sweet of her to publish our photo on her tumblr. check out this frenzy girl pronto! Pka, if you're reading this, talking to you is my highlight of the day. not even taking photo with Yuna can top it up! :D kan i said i have a girl crush on her.

(source: countthethread.)

check out her outfit.

ps: we've got the same shoes (in diff shades)! :D

so i guess thats my summary of the event. mun ada papa i ter-ingat balit klak which i want to share, i will add up later on lah k! for more photos of the beautiful hijabis, feel free to visit countthethread. i think her photos best explain the crowd. (sebenarnya malas mok carik blog lain yang ada photos as good. or maybe she's the only one. hmmm) all in all, it was an exciting event, and one good experience for 2010 closing :)

till then, i have a flight to catch in 3 hours. havent sleep yet tonight, coz excited nak blogging coz dah lamak sikda entry (bak kata Apiz) and dah lamak tangan berbulu nak write an entry bout this. now i better wake everybody up so rumah ini ada sedikit kamboh i nak ke airport. ngahahaha! (harus ngereco sikit lekak abis sigek semester!)

handful of cuteness on a dreadful yesterday

about yesterday. i took the last flight from Kuching to KL. the red eye flight. my flight was initially to board at 950pm, but air asia being air asia, the aircraft only arrived at 10pm. and it only took off at around 1035pm. so there goes the precious 45 minutes. slight turbulence now and then. i think i was awake throughout the flight, but before i could fell into a deeper slumber, we touched down in KL 20 minutes early. i rushed to the bus platform, and waited in the bus for another 20 minutes before it pushed off. pfft! and then there's trouble with my mobile phone. it rang a few times but i cant press any of the buttons!!!! ergh!!! and also, there's no caller ID on display!!!! errrrrrgghhhhhhhhhh!!!! huh hah huh hah *breath in breath out* the person who sat next to me must be wondering why i didnt pick up the phone and let the sound pollute the entire bus. haha and approximately at 1.30am, text messages came gushing like water just released by a dam. ahah i received more than 10 sms' between seconds. dating back from 24th Nov til current time. the texts are like 2 days back, and i missed ALOT of information! i missed my friend asking for a meet up; i missed my mom leaving me a note in the morning; i missed my mom saying i didnt have to pick her up; i missed my friend saying she also didnt attend the class last week so she doesnt know whats the new task and i kept on bugging her with new texts; and i missed my friend's invitation to her house :( i dont know whose fault is it. the service provider, or my snail phone. plus i was in the same flight with unis students going back to their hometown for the semester break holiday. i guess they were too excited to come home that they pushed people while they walked and talked loudly like airport ya bapak daknya pun. huh i was seriously not in the mood last night. even Awal Ashaari's presence in the same flight meant nothing. he literally stopped next to my row (in the cabin) waiting for the queue to move, but i malas want to usha his pretty face, and i proceeded to adjusting myself to a good sleep-sitting position. not in the mood okay. ahah! (second time meeting Awal in random places this year!)

and then i woke up this morning to another few delayed text messages. pffft!!

but somehow, this brought smile to my face yesterday:

 a handful of kittens!

*second from left dah sendat nyawa nya*

ps: i still suck big time at goodbyes :'(

tentang rambut

today was a good hair day. you know when you wake up in the morning and you go into the bathroom and you see the mirror and then bam! wow! kacak rambut ko pagi tok!

(konon macam tok la tek. siap ada make up skali rah muka. yerrrdeh.)

cause there are times when i wake up like this (not all the time la of course. ada la 2 3 kali setaun jak. kekeke i'm trying to stay positive bout my hair ok. and i think morning hair is cute :p):

(yah. palak katel lekat rah palak. tok bukan bad hair day gik, bed head hair tok namanya.)

well, actually i wanted to write bout something else. i've been wanting to write since afternoon, i was restless int he class! apa tek with a good hair day ahead me, i was so pumped up to do so many things and tell stories! but then i was so busy poking my head into others' blogs and food searching thru the net and then i got distracted with my hair story and now i want to sleep.

night y'all!

esok jak lah oo..

ps: masterchef best gila kot. rasa mok daknya take turn jadi tukang masak di rumah ku. nyeh nyeh nyeh...

hari bersamanya

16 October 2010

it started out good. i was in a good mood all morning. i got to see the morning sunshine. morning sunshine makes me happy. morning sunshine gives me hope and somehow gives lead to a good day.

duo singing reggae happily on the street - street performers never failed to grab my attention most of the time. but it came the time when you are standing in a sea of people, busy people bustling from left to right, or just standing there blocking your path just to be part of the crowd; the time when you caved in from the world, when you feel misunderstood and hurt, when you think no one really gets you no matter how hard you try to let them in, the time when you only want to be all by yourself and cry your heart out for reasons you are not very sure of, but you want to cry anyways just for the sake of letting it out. yeah i felt that too today. but i got over it. i dont want my sensitive element to get in my way of a beautiful Saturday, so i did what i have to do to get over it.

come dusk, i am preparing myself to watch Eat Pray Love. it is the type of novel which i always see on the shelf in the bookstore which i also passed by without much anticipation.  judging the book by its cover, i assumed the book is dull and boring and for the a-little-bit-matured soul. as for the motion picture itself, i heard friends said its beautiful, its for the romantic soul, yet some say draggy, the story line is slow-paced and its long. i still have no intentions to watch it. judging the movie by its poster, Julia Robert eating some gelato on a bench next to some nuns, i think, 'okay thats eating and praying, i guess, then she'll fall in love and same yada yada stuff, and voila~ the end. just another love story'. and THEN, another someone said it was filmed in four different countries. and that caught my attention. just like that, i flipped my heart 180^o and decided to watch it pronto. oh my weakness for places. thanks to Mym, i have easy access of buying last minute tickets on a busy Saturday! babe, you rock! :D though i came in the theatre i lil tad late, and i missed the introduction of Ketut, i am loving the movie so  so much i wanna watch it again (and again). it IS beautiful. it is NOT draggy for me. i am so loving the flow of it which carried me gracefully throughout the movie. i LOVE the food part the best :D watching Julia eating spaghetti makes me want to dash out of the cinema and get my own bowl of spaghetti (with meatballs!) and i dont know why but watching Liz making order in Italian language makes me want to read the book, so i can enjoy the food figuratively in my own leisure time. and yes, i assume the book elaborates more on the food (and i hope it tells how the food is being prepared as well, cause that is a super bonus point to help me imagine the food before my eyes). ok i am rambling bout food right now though i just ate. cant help it, food is just yummy. the only one thing i didnt agree was when Felipe talked Liz out bout not eating durian cause it taste like feet. durian is yummy too ok. so Liz's journey is not complete until she tries the durian. come back to Bali and eat durian ok Liz. ok now i'm rambling bout an imaginary sequel of Eat Pray Love on Liz coming back to Bali for Ketut's cremation and eating durian. well thats my story on falling in love with a movie.  and i was wrong to assume it is just another romantic love drama making its way on the silver screen. from the way i see it, it gets me thinking, it brings me to places, it pleasures my eyes with all the amazing places that i could only wish to go (for now), it treats my throat and tummy and make me vow to go food hunting even harder in the future! :D maybe also cause Apiz being awake for the entire movie makes it an enjoyable movie to watch :)

though i come home with a sore ankle, i'm glad i end it with SheilaOn7 -like song on the radio. (i think its So7, but i dont know if So7 has a new song, the singer just sound like Duta, and i miss Duta's singing. and their soothing songs.) that one completes the day :)

i just googled!! yes it is Sheila on 7! it's 'Hari Bersamanya'

everything that happened today, be it walking under the sun, singing to the cheerful song about girl meets boy on replay, taking photos with supersampler which i abandoned for too long thinking it was broken when i was the one who forgot how to load a film, hunting for Sarawak local delicacy in peninsular land, got carried away by mood swings, laughing my heart out at a story of dreaming bout a pig's snort, laughing my chest out on the ambition of being a forgetful futuristic guy, it is all worth it. each incident is worth the feeling. and now i am smiling with my liver :) :) :)

ngerepoks ol' style

i have few things on my mind. so i'm gonna say few things.

1. i have this phobia of receiving texts or calls like really late at night (when i say late at night, i mean past 12am), and like really early in the morning. especially when i dont expect them. especially if it is from the people who are very close to me. this morning, i received a text from Bapak at 7.59am. he said one of his friend just died in KL earlier in the dawn. his wife was trying to wake him up for sahur, and he didnt respond. thats his story. when a part of me was still in shock upon hearing such news, when i struggled to hold up my tears when i break the news to Abang, there is somehow a serenity emotion giant sweep over my heart and head thinking how peaceful his soul is to experience death in his sleep in Ramadhan. i feel sad for his family still. one of his two children is still schooling, like in form 1 or 2. though we were not that close, but i know he is one of Bapak's very good friend. everytime Bapak come over to KL, he would trouble himself to go see Bapak wherever Bapak is. he also did bring his whole family to Muar to attend Abang's engagement and wedding ceremony. i knew him since i was a kid, like when he used to live in Kuching with his family, our family would always meet up for gatherings. and now, everytime i meet his children, they are like so approachable and nice that they didnt turn into snobs although they did experienced the life of the rich and famous. so maybe that is why i feel his lost too. the last time we saw him, which is in April this year, he looked so healthy and still kicking, joking around like usual. he was  younger than Bapak. and i can imagine how Bapak is shocked when he heard about this. but Allah SWT has a better plan for all of us. may Allah rests Uncle Usup's soul in peace. may Allah forgives all his sins. may Allah grants him Paradise. may Allah protects his family. Amin. Amin. Amin. Amin. Al-Fatihah.

* Al-Fatihah too, to my late Nek Di, Uncle Y and Syafiq. they will always have a special place in my heart. may Allah SWT place them with the believers in one of His Paradises. Amin

2. you dont really know what you did, until someone ask what you've done. then only you'll start to trace back your steps and realised what you did.

3. we always get what we want when we are sleeping. in our dream. we always get what we want. like in your dream, you already bought that dress you wanted for so long, and you're truly happy bout it you go gaga in your dream. but then, a single screeching sound in the real world snatches the dress away from you. you meet this really cool new friend in your dream, whom you never see before in real life. a friend actually introduced you guys. new friend is cool, new friend take your hand  and lets you stay for dinner, eventhough new friend just knew you not even for half a day. you wish all new friend is that nice in real world. when someone in my dream to bad things to me, a knight in shining armour comes in my defense even if it means Mr. Knight would have suffer some injuries in the process. and when i woke up from the sound of my alarm clock, i smile to myself thinking bout my real world knight in not so shining armour. but its fine, i would have run anyways if i see a man holding a shiny thing they call an armour. scary, dont you think? this is not zaman gladiator. just bring your brain where ever you go will do.

4. i come to the realisation that i admit i'm a realist. if its red, you stop. but sometimes, i still like to be a dreamer.

5. i cant post photos on FB. i dont know why. something to do with the firewall maybe. or the connection. but if its the firewall or the connection, how come i did upload photos on FB before, using the same laptop, same browser, same connection provider? maybe its the place. i dont even know if that has something to do with it. so i've been putting off a number of cupcakes photos on hold. and i feel its not right. not fair to those who bought my cupcakes but didnt get to see their orders in my album. cause i would post the photos of my cupcakes right after i'm done with every batch, sometimes i post it before i could deliver to the person whom ordered it! so, i'll just post them here instead. so these are two batches of cupcakes which i did before i left for Raffles. the ones with the Roses is my standard size cupcakes. while the bunch of pinks and purples and whites are the small size of cupcakes. they are cute in size. and when i start putting colours on them, i think they dont deserve to be in the stomach. they should be in a display rack with glass panels all around. i'm not gloating on my designs, ok. what i mean is, they just turn super cuter when they are in small scales.

thanks Zaty for the order! :D

thanks Syasya for the order of these tiny cupcakes! :D
