selamat hari raya haji to all muslims!fatin and hazirah got their results yesterday and the whole family is pleased with it.my tution kid, shabrena who is the partner neighbour also managed to get impressive grade for her maths and science.i was quite worried for her but knowing she did well,i let out a sigh of relief.good job girls!since today is a public holiday,the partner and i thought of having a late night out.and we did, together with the kids.we head down to the nearest de coder's cafe outlet to have a ball of fun!it was our first time trying out de coder's cafe because all along we went to the mind's cafe.we played several games and i have to say they are all fun!we laughed, screamed and enjoy choosing and playing the games!
in order to win this game, one has to have good sense of judgement.and i have no idea how come haziq is able to sense most of them on the spot!
we played one of our favourite game!haha!and someone miss the bone twice.
we decided to be daring and played 100 dumb things.that was hilarious!everyone had to do what the cards require us to do.
we played gulo gulo.funny name huh?haha.
the cute colourful wolverine.
we played guestures,a charade game.
the thing was cool!
while ordering for our beverages,there were too many choices of drinks that it took me a long time to decide what i wanted.upon saying my order,"pepsi float"the partner gave me a look and say "kpo, i was thinking of it also"haha.
the waffles is a must have!very delicious!
to conclude,the both of us and the kids enjoyed our night.we'll go there again soon!
the happy kids.
to end our night,i brought the kids to a rooftop carpark and take in the amazing sight of the stars.it was beautiful.who says you can't see stars in singapore?we spotted more than 30 stars.it was so nice looking at the stars twinkling above us.
dinosaur,our last.
yesterday paper was a killer.
and it got me worrying however that shouldn't dampen my spirit for today's paper.
just like me, others find it hard for yesterday paper.so bell curve do your job!
haha.
after the paper,
i made a call to the partner describing how was the paper.
and afterwhich we exchange text messages.
andddd.....
he asked me out for dinner."do you want to eat pizza?"
haha.
even though he's my boyfriend for 3 years or so,
i still get excited whenever he asks me out.
haha.
and i don't deny my heart still beat faster minutes before meeting him.
since he was studying in his school,
i made a trip down to his school.
and he tried to surprised me.
haha!
he ran towards me from behind!
when i heard footsteps getting faster,
i knew it was him!
haha!i thought we were going to eat pizza hut.when we were at the bus stop he told me we're eating murtabak pizza.i was like oh ok.but he lead me somewhere and we ended up in front of domino's pizza glass door.when we entered,all the staff greeted us,"welcome to domino's pizza!"the both of us were shocked.haha!what an experience!
the highlighted were the ones we ordered.
ta-da!our orders.haha.
very cute,all neatly packed!i have to say i am not a fan of pizza and i don't really eat more than 2 slices.but yesterday,i ate 3.it shows that it is delicious or maybe i was hungry.the pizza was hot from the oven and it taste just nice in my mouth.overall, the experience at domino's pizza was good!=)will return there some day.what i noticed was all the staff were men and it seems that they are closely knitted and that they enjoyed working there.too much industrial/organization psychology.haha.and i was sent home safely by the partner.today was a sleepy and hungry day for me.i slept on the school bench for an hour while revising.the paper today was doable.alhamdullilah.=)last one!the 1st dec!and i'm done and i can focus on other things!i/we am/are going to have packed weekends.dinosaur,day 1 without you starts all over again.all the best for your throws!
when i woke up in the morning,i read an sms over and over again.till now,i still read it.it gives me a boost and make me happy.i am left with a few more hours before my examsand even though i had more than 7 hours of sleep,i'm sleepy.i don't really know what to expect from the paper but i know i studied hard for it.i want to be done with it!gagagagagagagagagagagaga!ab,make me fall in love with you all over again would you?
happy birthday cik rubiah!=)it was the partner's mom birthday on the 22/11.which means i will turn 23 in exactly a month.meanwhile i should still enjoy being 22 for a month!life.treasure them.because giving up would not solve the problem.it won't end by itself.you must have the strength and courage to do it,no matter how hard it gets.i had a tiring sunday.helped out at cc open house followed by a wedding to attend with the partner and his poly friends, went on studying with the partner and i end my night with dinner with the partner.sometime throughout our study session,we took a break and talked about us, our past being together, our future, the way we live our life, our dreams and ambitions.i have to say i truly enjoyed every minute of the talk because it's quite rare to talk about us in this light.we were looking far into the future and it's nice to have a vision of us together.it gives me hope.i hope that we can have deja vu.
sweetheart,what we've been through is totally insane.but still the Almighty shows us.insyaAllah,we will go through more thick and thin together hand-in-hand and encouraging one another.on another note,thanks for seeing me in a very positive light.life is not easy.but i promise you as long as i shall live,i wouldn't let you be on your own.
i am in love with the sky tonight.it really beautiful.against the navy sky,the stars are twinkling so brightly,just like the advertisement,"bring me to the moon and let me play amongst the stars"you know which one right?the one when a couple is on a road when the women stared at the diamond ring on her finger against the sky. right now, i really want to lie down on the ground and take in the scenery.however,i'm too tired.i feel like i'm floating around.i kept running to the balcony to see the stars.a sense of happiness fills me whenever i see the stars.i think next time i'll drag my husband out to see the stars together with me.haha.yesterday was another great night.i saw the meteor shower from the balcony.in the beginning i was kinda upset because from where i was looking at, the clouds were covering the sky.so i waited and i saw like very faint flashes of light at the sky.it was really fast and i thought my eyes were playing tricks on me.haha.god's creation.=)marvellous.
my eyes are almost closing while i'm typing this out.the weather has been really nice to sleep and of course after a good meal,it's even tempting to go to bed.and while typing on the bed,man,it makes me sleepy.guess i'll take a nap after this entry before i continue with my revision.when i call up the partner in the afternoon,the question he asked was "do you want to eat pizza hut later?"me, on the other line, smiled to myself, nodded my head like an obedient girl and replied "yes"while i got in the car,i was greeted by a bear hug.haha!it was funny.and he gave me a bear.the bear has huge round eyes.cute la.we were supposed to go pizza hut but the partner offered another place, hanis.he added it was at the budget terminal.so i okay-okay la.when he made a u-turn i know it wasn't at the airport.he tricked me! (nice try hun)haha.it wasn't at budget terminal,it was at safra.when we were presented with the soup,we gave one another a look.a disgusted look.it was our first time to see such colour soup.it was cream of spinach.
lo and behold,it tasted good though.the set meal includes desserts too!
the cake reminded me of sara lee's pound cake.i had fish and chips.
while the partner had roasted chicken.
by the end of our meal,we were both bloated and full.can't walk straight also.haha.it was about an hour meet up but we both enjoyed the time we had.=)my sister just im me and she asked me to sleep with her and fatin.
when i asked why,
she said isn't it nice to sleep sempit-sempit in the cold weather? you know that kind of feeling.
hahaha!
funny la!
dinosaur,i'll smack your action face ah.especially when you jeling at me.=P
after so long of not spending time with one another,yesterday we made time for it.=)and something makes me blush almost the whole night through.when i get into the car,
i've got 2 fruit tarts!
and that already makes me smile.it taste good and now thinking about it,i feel like having it now.
we watched 2012.and overall,i think it's just a-okay.for those who loves graphics, i'll recommend you guys the show.we jalan-jalan around town in search for something.and i like the results!we end our night with fries, cheesecake!=)i've been trying to put on weight.and i don't know whether it's working.all i know,i feel hungry most of the time.
the weather has been so cool!
it was so nice to snuggle my blanket last night.
i hope the temperature remains this cooling throughout the year!
haha.
i ought to get back to revision!dinosaur,thank you ah.
when i was in my teenage years,i have a hobby.i was really addicted to it.i bought them but at times i don't even open it.today,i had to threw some of it away as i need to make space in my room.it was quite hard for me to be separated from it.i spent 4 long hours looking through it again and try to convince myself that i don't need them.i even jot down the amount i had.in total,173.i might have more but was thrown away in the previous years.my hobby brought bittersweet memories with my mom.because my mom will always want me to get rid of it.but i,find it really hard, try to hide them somewhere.it's been a decade.but eventually today,i decided to let it go.it all started 10 years ago,when i was in secondary school,the green polka dots uniform.when i think about it,maybe that was how my interest for psychology develops.what's my hobby you'll ask.it's collecting magazines.i fell in love with magazines!not because of fashion but because of the articles and aunt agony.mostly it's the cover page that intrigued me.it makes me want to buy and read about it.and so that was how it start.i collect different kinds of them.not only local ones but also overseas.limeteensteenagesmash hitstv hitsmaxblissgirlfriendteen (us)seventeen (us)seventeen (singapore)vanity faircleofemaleher worldcosmo girlellecosmopolitanyou can see my maturity level.like it moves from teens, girlfriend (adik-adik) mags to female, cleo (kakak-kakak) mags.haha.now to think back,it was a waste of money.really,because some mag costs more than $7.at least i've spend $25 per month on them.i collected them in 1999 and stop collecting in 2004.i think i realised that i have no more space to hide those magazine and thus i had to stop buying them.
most of the cover pages were dusty.
when i looked through them,there were 2 of the mags that i bought twice.haha.i can't even remember whether i've bought them.
it was pearl harbour that makes me go gaga over him.haha.as i try not to be emotional about it,i distracted myself by taking pictures of the same celebrity in different mags.
after 4 hours of arranging, looking through, jotting down, reading some articles,i decided to keep the below.
and throw away the below,which mostly are teens, teenages and lime.goodbye teenage years,hello adult world!
they've been great companion throughout the long bus ride to school.=) it is quite an achievement that i am able to throw them away.because it wasn't easy convincing myself that things won't last, i am an adult i need to accept things, etc.but in the end i managed.good job nurul!=)the problem with me is i like to keep things and never throw them.it's like i've grown attached to them.just like the bouquet of flowers below.
it has been almost 2 years.if i have a choice i would have keep it.but mom helped me throw it.haha.nurul is going to be a karang guni.hopefully not la.i wish that i can get over my problem and have lesser things in my house in the future.dinosaur you are ancient which is why it is harder for me to get rid of you.=)
i've spent my saturday sleeping.to convince myself,i take it as a short-mini-break-before-the-study-marathon-kicks-in!let me try to use what i've learnt to help myself to study.(using implementative mindset instead of deliberative mindset)i, nurul atirah bte mahmuddin, will start revising for my modules on the 15th nov 09, at 10am.next,have to plan right?because failling to plan is planning for failure.so so so.since i have 3 examinable modules because 2 of my modules this semester are non examinable,i have ample time to revise.social cog, psychobiological perspectives on emotion and io psych.below are just for my own reference.i need a reminder.=)15 nov,social cog (2 chapters)psychobiological perspectives on emotion (1 chapter)16 nov,social cog (2 chapters)psychobiological perspectives on emotion (2 chapters)io psych (1 chaper)17 nov,social cog (1 chapter)psychobiological perspectives on emotion (1 chapters)18 nov,social cog (1 chapter)psychobiological perspectives on emotion (1 chapter)io psych (1 chapter)19 nov,social cog (overall revision)psychobiological perspectives on emotion (overall revision)io psych (1 chapter)20 nov - 23 nov,social cog (overall revision)psychobiological perspectives on emotion (overall revision)24 nov - social cognition exam25 nov - psychobiological perspectives on emotion exam26 nov,io psych (2 chapters)27 nov,io psych (1 chaper + overall revision)28 nov - 30 nov,io psych (overall revision)*phew*i am done planning.gambaru!it will soon be over!
my last cup of tea for the semester.
and i am going to miss the tea with milk.really.it tastes so nice.it's thicker and just right for me.apart from my sweater,the cup of tea keeps me warm.at times,my tongue gets scalded because i was too eager to drink the tea.everytime i took a sip of the tea,i feel a sense of boost!like so shiok!and i ended up sipping more.so i ended up finishing the tea even before lecture ends.haha.the days in school.=)after lecture today,rush for a meeting in newton.dinner was delifrance.sponsored by a committee member.thanks samantha!i had a great time eating the fruit tarts!afterwhich we had a dance practice.it was fun!i was glad to know that the ladies share the happiness together.their faces beam and i sensed it was sincere.=)the partner has been really busy with work.and i miss the fact that there wasn't anyone to tease me and i can't tease him much.nevertheless,he still makes me smile, blush, laugh and giggle.just something that i needed.this weekend is going to be kinda boring without him but at the same time,i am trying to convince myself that i need to study for the finals.so........not so bad.but if i have a chance to go out with him,i will.haha.distressing session.=)but he has his finals to revise also.we'll make time somehow.=)i am getting nervous and excited as the days pass.because you may never know.but somehow i find peace.=)that's the best gift.syukur alhamdulillah.dinosaur,i am smiling widely just by typing d-i-n-o-s-a-u-r.
recently, the weather has been chilly.and i like it whenever i wake up.it's cooling.and right now,at night,it is still chilly.most of the essays, group presentations, tests are done.now what's left is the examinations.3 papers and i am done.i learnt something about life.one of it is being humble.because we are all the same.we are still human.what do you got to win if you're arrogant?self esteem?well,maybe.how do you judge that you're better?more $$$, better looking?maybe.but do realise that those never last.=)i supposed that when one is humble,the way they talk to you are sincere.how can we not be arrogant?i guess we can try to control ourselves not to judge people by their looks.because once you judged them,you have a lot of assumptions about them,which can be true and some aren't.and those assumptions are going to affect the way you talk/treat them.try reading on the self fulfilling prophecy.=)what is life without lessons?it's worthless.=)open your eyes and start learning.=)
dinosaur,you handled it well.thank you for being such a supportive and concerned partner.even though i was down by the news,you managed to make me gleam.thank you sweetheart.i have no idea what i appeared in your eyes,even though i was so slack with my dishevelled hair,you still make me blush.thanks for adding quality to my life.my heart finally gleam.and it's real.let's work it together.
when i look at the calender,i feel scared by the numbers.like it's so fast it's going to be december and end of 2009.this week is going to pass so fast with so many things to keep me occupied.thanks to the onions,i keep farting today.of course not when there's people around me.i managed to get an afternoon nap just now.it felt so so so so good!it's been so long since i had an afternoon nap.and i know i can't have them when i'll start to work.
i've watched the amazing race earlier and not only that i like some of the cool tasks that they have to do but i also like it whenever they praise one another for the work they have done,to motivate their partner.=)i am sleepy yet i have tasks to do.ellesaur,happily together.
my dinner.together with the partner and his parents.sorry it is just the leftover.
we had dinner,indian style.naan, thosai, briyani, murtabak!i had naan.and while eating,i felt incomplete.you know why?cause there's wasn't any onions!i am hooked to onion that just seeing onion increase my appetite.even thought it makes my throat uncomfortable the next day,i still like to eat them.i guess i got addicted to onions years back when the partner brought me to a eating place near mustaffa centre.that place i was told by the partner has closed down.only memories of it was left.back to that place,ok so whenever we dine there,they would always serve us onions and a lime.it's tempting.and so i tried.so eventually,i got hooked to onions.before we had our dinner,we went to collect an item.haha.swee swee la.11 and 22how coincidence is that?ok,you guys might not know about the number.i mean 11 is his birthdate.while mine is 22.very swee!i've got a test tomorrow.*sighs*let's hope my brain is efficient tomorrow!anyway,i have no idea why does my body feel really lethargic.like my body is pulled downwards and make me really tired.after this week,i have some planning to do.especially the pets carnival.alamak!so funny that i am heading this event.because i have a phobia on animals yet i took this up.haha!i have no idea how to survive on that day!make sure my senses are on extra alert!not only that i am afraid of animals.the partner also has phobia on animals.haha!what a couple!honey, i might need your help on that day!i ought to get back to the lecture notes!dinosaur,swee ah!
yesterday was a moody day for me.and i have so many reasons because of it.like the strain in my eyes is causing me a headache.like the weather.like how tired i was.and many more.and so my grandma, mom and the partner had to go through my moodiness since we got to find some items together.the partner knowing that i am not normal,tried to lighten my mood,he kept tripping me by 'accidentally' kicking my leg.aiyayaya!he never stops la and keeps laughing at me every sucessful time he managed to 'trip' me. somehow i wasn't irritated by it.in fact, i played along.and tried tripping him but to no avail.since his soccer match got cancelled,the four of us went to eat arnold's.from my memory,that was the first time i ate at arnold's.however mom told me that when i was younger,they used to bring me to arnold to eat.hmmmm.maybe i was way too young!back to yesterday,chicken was nice,just that the place was cramped and noisy.late night we head over to his aunt chalet for a birthday celebration.and i've managed to know more about his dad's family.the partner managed to do something that he always wanted to do since young!and he said he's like a monkey!haha!no pictures for yesterday because i can't be bothered.too moody.haha.i wanted today to be a stay-at-home-day to complete some stuff that's been bothering me.but i got to meet the partner together with his parents to collect an item.ok la.to distress.this upcoming week is my last week in school.my last week of SCHOOLING DAYS (insyaAllah if my grades allow me to graduate)!after 2+ 6 + 5 + 3 + 2.5 = 18.5 years of school!*phew*i might pick up school again when i'm stable in work and family life.i better get back to what i was doing!
