unhappy tales of the throat

with the unhappy throat,
it's making my whole body to ache and it's giving me the lethargic feeling.
it's pretty sucky actually especially when you have deadlines to rush.

sipping my lipton green tea isn't a great help but it does soothe my throat a little.

i am so glad and relief that one of the assignments, which is to write 4000 words is push back 3 days later.
if not, i wouldn't have my weekend.

earlier in the day,
my group members and i had a presentation on the different cultures,
between north american and japanese.
after the presentation,

i think it's due to the priming effect,
all i can think of was japanese food!
which was why i told the partner about it and we had it for dinner.









pardon our tired faces.

it was our first time trying it out at cityvibe's ramen ten.
the place wasn't bad,
the staffs were friendly and food was good.

tomorrow a day with the girls to celebrate suliza and nazierah's belated birthday.
it's been a long time since i catch up with them.
i bet it's gonna be fun and filled with pictures.
haha!

something is happening this saturday,
gotta do with a decision.
pretty nervous and excited.

sidetrack.
i know the elephant has changed.
and the dinosaur realises it.
back to where they were.

sipping more green tea and off to bed!

Wednesday, October 28

time to sleep.

up for 20 hours.
and the upcoming days are just tooo much!

when dec 1 comes,
i'm going to really celebrate!
susah dahulu, senang kemudian.

dad and me was sharing to one about how chilly it is tonight.
i am having goosebumps even though i'm wearing long sleeve and long pants.

i've been having a hard time concentrating,
it's like my attention span is much shorter now.
and it's affecting me badly in terms of catching up with deadlines and outstanding issues.

my stomach has been crazy,
it feels empty most of the time.
and i'll have to hunt for food.
after eat, a moment later,
it's empty again.

i need sleep now,
and dream of dinosaur.

suliza and nazierah's day!

happy 23rd birthday to suliza and nazierah!

may you both are blessed with good things!
amin.

see you girls soon!

an evening at the ice cream parlour

my weekend was great,
alhamdullilah.

saturday morning was spent at the singapore discovery centre to explore more about the place.
afterwhich,
went jalan-jalan with the partner to singapore expo,
and we end it with indian rojak over at my house.

sunday was kinda relaxing,
finishing up an essay in the morning,
in the evening, the partner fetched me and the kids to the ice cream parlour.

our merlionster.


the poor small girl was being teased most of the time,
and due to that,
she was sulking one corner while we were snapping pictures away.






since dad and papa 2 decided to watch soccer together with the partner's dad,
we had to fetch his parents over to my house.

somehow, i am craving for ebi temaki!

it was a weekend well spent,
enjoyable and fun.

Sunday, October 25

time to panic!

the panic button was pressed!

time to get things done!

the next best place to be in

i've found myself the next best place to be in.
it's the school library.
yes, it's kinda slow to discover it after almost two and a half years in it.
it is a very conducive place to chill, do my essay and to sleep!
except at times it gets a little cold.

cold.
my body does not generate enough body heat to keep me warm so i had to bring 2 sweaters with me whenever i go to school.
i was even thinking of bringing gloves to school since my fingers would get numb but that's a little too much i guess.

currently my mind does not have any interesting topics to discuss since my mind is filled with 'things-to-be-done' lists.

ok i just think of one thing,
reading.
somehow, it helps me to keep my cool and stabilize myself.
the more i read, the more i ponder about it and the more it makes sense.
by reading relevant books,
i find peace and at times becomes optimistic.
i need to be reminded i guess.

so anyway,
i went to see the partner ran his race yesterday.
i think that was the first time i saw him ran a race and surprisingly, i got all excited for him.
and it was funny how he tried to fool me when he called me.
haha.

as i look outside of the window at where i am seated,
i can see flashes of orange lights,
and that reminds me of the sea.
i've always wanted to have a house that overlook the sea or a house that i can have access to the rooftop to see the stars.
i have no idea why but it makes me feel thankful when i see the sea and the stars.
i can just go staring at it for hours, soaking in the atmosphere.
when i spot stars at night,
automatically,
i smiled to myself.

i ought to go back to writing my essay.

contented

i am contented and only god knows why.

once again,
i feel like i am back to the old me.
just that i learnt something throughout.

never lose faith.
be patience.
most importantly,
trust in the Almighty,
for He knows what's best.

one of the days

happy deepavali to those who are celebrating it,
to those who aren't,
happy holidays!



went bowling late night with my mom, mama in, the kids, the partner and his parents.
it was a night of laughter and enjoyment.


so earlier,
the partner and i explored iluma.
it's massive!
what i really like was the sky garden.
it's pretty and god, beautiful!


i watched 500 days of summer again!
haha!
this time at film garde.
not bad.
the leg space is quite wide,
nice environment.

iluma is something different,
instead of the normal sharp edges,
it uses a lot of curves and shapes.
the ceiling is very high!
the place has a lot of empty spaces.
it's something art-sy.

look at the width of the door!

it's thick and heavvvvyyyy.


the caption says everything.

father.
dad.
pa.

abah.

(i am trying to make my brain works)

right now,
i am in school waiting for dad to send me home.
while waiting,
my eyes are closing,
and my body slowly recline to the comfortable chair while doing a research on the moon.
i might just fall asleep if i don't blog because reading will makes me even sleepy.
*yawns*

once home,
i will decide what's my plan for friday night.
there's things i wanna see and do.

dad's here!
yoohoo!

the day the man turns 26


on 11 october 2009.


i decided to surprise the partner with a cake i decorated myself.
it was fun doing it,
maybe because i am doing it for him and i know that he will be happy with the outcome.
=)

i fetched the partner and brought him to the mint musuem of toys.
i thought we could learnt something from the visit.








but nah,
it wasn't that interesting,
but it was okay overall.

and we jalan-jalan to find snacks.


his birthday present.
seriously,
it was hard for me to think what to get for him.
even when i had to choose a pen for him,
i don't know which pen he would prefer.


upon opening it,
he tried the pen on the spot!
haha!

and yesterday, he smsed me saying that the pen is great!
*phew*

a birthday letter for him.


afterwhich we met up his parents to have dinner together.
and we decided to try on a new place,
vintage delicafe.
it just opened back in may 09.
it is located at 66 bussorah street.
the food was delicious!
we'll come back for sure!

the root beer float.


mushroom soup.


don't ask for spicy,
if not you cannot tahan!


fish and chips.
the fish was crispy!


chicken chop.
chicken was tender.


the dessert was not really up to my standard.
but it was okay, edible and sweet.
=)





overall,
it was a good experience!
delicious food!
the place gives me a sense of calmness,
maybe because there wasn't much people.

the contented birthday boy with his parents.


haha!
on the way back, the birthday boy had to help me change my flat tyre.
sorry to make you all sweaty and masam!
haha!
thank you again!

i hope you enjoyed your 26th honey!

*hugs, tickles & kisses*

uncertainty

it was only after watching a movie that it make me blog about this.

life is uncertain.

why do i say that?

look at it,
address can change,
names can change,
status can change,
wealth can change,
family composition can change,
gender can (be) change,
fashion changes.
by now,
you should get what i mean right now.

you can never be certain of anything but of one thing,
which is death.
death is certain.
most grow old and die,
while some didn't even get a chance to grow old.

another thing which is uncertain about death is when will you die, how will you die.

as we can see,
things can change but what are guiding us to be 'constant' are social norms and one's own beliefs.
like you don't do some things because you think you might be judged differently.

things happened naturally only at the beginning,
afterwhich efforts are required to keep it going.
take for example,
falling in love.
it happened naturally,
feeling grew, sparks can be seen.
however after a certain period of time,
the feelings become constant and sparks are on and off.
that is when efforts are needed to keep it alive.
people yearn to be appreciated, to be motivated to keep them going on in life.

so what movie did i watched that made my brain think?
500 days of summer.
the show was good!
i don't mind watching it again!
i like the way how it was narrated and the way they use the flashback.
what is nice is that it's a story about a couple,
and that they look sweet together and they have fun together.
of course joseph gordon-levitt made me smile to myself.
a simple charming guy.
his dressing is nice and his smile can just light up my mood.
haha!
and there was a part where he danced!
what a treat!

so what is love?
if you were to say it is all the nice gooey feeling,
maybe that's partially right.
because if you're in love,
why are there still arguments?
i think love is to incorporate another person into your life and find ways to adjust to it.

deadlines

deadlines!
after so long of trying to get away from the dates,
i had no choice but to face with it.
i listed them out and *gulps*
it's CRAZY!
3 group projects to hand in,
3 group presentation,
2 individual essays,
1 term test.
the dates are scaring me.
late october early november.
*shakes head*
then late novmeber exams.
i have to be on track!

time waits for no one,
it is you who make time to make it happen.

how to cope with the deadlines?
prioritizing would help and setting my own deadline.
planning and doing it is important.

dear readers,
please vote for my sister in facebook,
http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=2145380&id=61447964158#/photo.php?pid=2145380&id=61447964158
she took part in a baggage creative picture shot and she came out with this picture herself.

thank you very much!
=)

below are just overdue pictures of bgm.
i was stationed at the registration counter.




and also i had to report the minutes.

alhamdullilah,
i am no longer the general secretary.
i have another post.
=)

i've made up my mind,
i will be seeing need to see the doctor tonight.
it is not getting better.

i have trouble in concentrating,
and it disrupts my train of thoughts.
it gets exhaustive when it has to start all over again.
what's at the back of my head is keeping true to one words.
because saying and actions must go hand in hand,
one without the other doesn't work that well.


can i zoom myself to the future?
sadly, the answer is obviously no.
i'll just have to get through it.
an hour at a time.
slowly it will be a day at a time,
and changes to a week at a time.

weekend updates

i didn't update not because i have nothing.
it was because i was caught up with stuff.

friday night was fun catching up with my poly classmates over at estya's house for hari raya.
great fun laugh with them.
=)
surprisingly, i was sent home safely by the partner.
my happy moments on the 2nd october 09 was being able to see my friends and knowing that something is true.



my weekend was interesting.
i spent my saturday morning till afternoon in the cc running the children's day event.
it was fun emcee-ing to the kids,
a lot of repetition and patience!
haha!
luckily i still have my voice.
my happy moments for the 3rd october 09 was seeing the children run around, laughing and enjoying their day.
and the other happy moment was when i was held tightly, like a small girl.









listening attentively to the emcee.




excited parents taking pictures of their children.

my sunday was spent visiting people's houses for raya.
like finally!

my happy moments for 4th october 09 was enjoying myself with my loved ones.
