kisah kakak yang kerja di rumah Aunty Tipah

Shu and I were sent out to make a delivery for my mum.The things were for Aunty Tipah who wasn't at home at the time of the delivery.Her maid was home alone.We didn't know that she had just started work there.Being the goofies that we are,Shu and I turned up at the front gate in our Little Devil hats at about 9pm.The maid peeked out from the window upstairs then opened the front door telling us that the tuan rumah wasn't in.I told her that we were just delivering stuff.She went inside and the house alarm went off.Shu and I took off our hats thinking that it might have been the reason she got scared.The alarm went off again.Shortly after that,she finally came out and took the stuffs from us over the gate.

After we got back into the car,I told Shu that we should have tried scaring her off with scary tales of maids being left alone at home in the night :p

after a long drive on the highway.......

We are finally home.Safe and sound.

Shu,Azim and I went to send Qarim back to his campus in Perak.We left at about 4pm.Got there within about 1 and a half hours time.Our drive home took us HOURS!At one point,we were only going at about 40km per hour!Azim went crazy for a bit.He was singing out loud Psychosocial.......growling out the lyrics is more like it.

Haha!Another funny thing to add to our silly story would be us bringing home the toll ticket.Here's what actually happened.We've already taken a ticket when we exited Gopeng.Then,halfway through the heavy traffic and all,Shu decided to top up the touch 'n' go card at a petrol station since there were so many cars on the road forgetting that we already have a ticket.We got to the Damansara toll and Shu was wondering why the screen said the card is not recognized.No amount was deducted either.I quickly checked the overhead sun screen and took out the toll ticket.All of us looked at eachother for a bit and then laughed our heads off.When we got home,the first thing I showed my folks was the toll ticket.

just because you are a budak kecik doesn't mean you can get anything you want!

Bengang la pulak!
Shu and I were at the park late in the afternoon today.We were happily talking over things on a seesaw.Suddenly,out of nowhere,came a lady asking if we could move coz the little girl she was babysitting wanted to play on it.Without any hesitance at all,Shu and I smiled and let them have the seesaw (only because we were in a good mood).
Then,as we were walking getting closer to home,Shu realized that he has a cousin who is just as spoiled as that little girl in the park.That totally changed our mood thinking if we should just go back to the park and tell the lady and the little girl to take a hike coz we were there first!

Anywho,Shu and I were driving around KL earlier in the day.At first,we were just killing time.We ended up at Bukit Aman,parking somewhere near a Space Agency.WE HAVE A SPACE AGENCY!We also discovered that we have a Police Museum!It's near the Lake Garden Bird Park.There was also a Planetarium and a Butterfly Garden........

Eventually,we got thirsty.While driving around the closed shop lots in KL,we decided to just head over to Mutiara Damansara since I was supposed to get my mum a birthday present anyways.We had some drinks at OutPost over a game of Shrek Junior Monopoly.Stopped by at Skin Food to get my mum something and headed home.

*Me thinks me likey Skin Food products* ^_^

My uncle and my aunt dropped by for my mum's birthday bash.For some strange reason,just as Aunty Intan and Farah arrived,they had this secret meeting which Shu and I were NOT invited to join regarding OUR WEDDING!Hah!Wait till they hear the plans Shu and I have in mind which we told Farah!She thinks that my dad wouldn't mind the idea ;)

While on the seesaw,Shu and I have decided to make the reception a PRIVATE reception.It would make things less complicated ^_^

P.S.: I still tidak puas hati with that little girl at the park!

paying for other people's expenses......again.......

The latest pre-marital procedure includes having a pre-marital course certificate AND a HIV blood test report.My folks never had to do any of those things back in those days.

Here's a rough calculation of the expenses BEFORE getting married:-
Pre-Marital course MYR80/person
Pre-Marital package blood test report MYR160(women) & MYR150(men)

And then,comes the mas kahwin.It differs from state to state.Here in KL,the rate is MYR80++

On top of all those,culture includes a hantaran<---honestly,I am not so sure of what the amount is nor do I know what exactly it is for.

Anywho,other expenses would depend on what and how the wedding is going to be conducted.As for where I am right now,I don't really have a say.Everytime I suggest something,I'd either get turned down or simply ignored :/

movie carnival 2009@Sunway Pyramid

After class this morning,Shu and I headed over to Sunway Pyramid coz I was curious about the movie carnival thingy.We passed by the concourse but then,we decided to have brunch and then walked around.Our brunch was way past lunch time but way too early for tea.We ended up talking and talking and laughing.Finally,we decided to walk around.
We passed by the DDR machine.Some kids were at it.Some other kids were at the Japanese drums.Looking at those kiddies hitting them drums real hard,Shu said they reminded him of us when we first tried out that thing.Both of us just doing what ever only coz we cannot read kanji.Hahaha!
We headed over to the concourse and checked out the booths and displays.We had to stop by the Cinema Online booth coz I spotted a cardboard stand-up of the lion mascot wearing a starfleet academy uniform with the line "LIVE LONG AND PROSPER" written under it.It was so chomel!The previous stand-up too was interesting.It was a picture of the same lion all dressed up like the Joker with the line "WHY SO SERIOUS?" written under it.It turned out that those were prints on t-shirts and stickers sold at the booth.Shu got the Joker lion t-shirt and I got the Spock.We got a car sticker and a Narnia collector's folder thingy.We also got 2 free tickets for any movies that will be released in the next coming 6 months.
Oh.....if you ever go over to the Drag Me To Hell movie display site,DO NOT attempt to sniff the stupid coffin props there coz what ever they did to make the thing look and smell like a dead body,it worked!

kisah mak cik gigih di jeruk stand

Hahahahaaaa!!!!!!
Shu and I were at a kopitiam and nearby was a stall selling jeruk and assam.Shu was in the middle of saying something then out of nowhere,I blurted out "amboi.....gigih benor mak cik tuh membeli jeruk......." Shu's reaction was blank at first,then he burst out laughing.Our conversation was far from jeruks.

I am super exhausted.The so called sleepy and the tired ones got home early today and we actually agreed to play badminton with my dad at the park.Our warm up session today was a quick basketball match with Azim and Rashid.Then,we were just playing around at the badminton court when my dad arrived.Ash arrived and we started a game or two.Later on,Rashid and Azim came by to play a game (replacing Shu and I)

We continued playing and because we started playing early today,we played till our feet could bear us no more.I was tired a wee bit more coz I kept dancing the LBP monkey dance every now and again.It's really fun.Now,Shu and Rashid can do it too ^_^ All you gotta do is shake you booty!

pathlab

Shu was calling the directory all morning trying to get a number to any labs in the area where we can get our blood test done.Finally,we ended up in Damansara Utama.It was a strange but funny experience coz neither of us have ever been to a lab like that and every other person who walked in are old.It's a good thing that the place has several different packages to choose from.Lucky for us,they have a pre-marital package.Shu kept checking that the lab girl didn't get our blood mixed up coz we wouldn't wanna end up with complications at the very last minute.

On our way out,Shu caught a car passing by with both passengers in it staring at us.After a while,he realized it was Ayie and his wife.I thought it was one of Shu's friends.

Had brunch in Bangi.Shu met up with his brother for a bit then we headed to Shu's place to change the locks and stuff coz of the recent incident that took place there.Also,no one will be living there until the new semester begins.I'm just a wee bit paranoid about leaving the house the way it was knowing that there are valuable things there still.

Oh yeah,today is Shu's mum's birthday.My mum called her up this morning just to wish her.It surprised her.It surprised both Shu and I as well.We didn't think my mum was really gonna do it.Well,I didn't.

The thing about death is that you only go through it once in life and you will definitely have to go through it.Sooner or later.I fear it.A lot.

At the pre-marital course we attended,one of the speaker's opening speech was about how forgetful we are as mortal men.We keep talking about the past like it was just yesterday when in fact,it has come to past.The more we talk about it,the longer it has left us.What we fail to realize is that every second that passes by leads us closer to the one thing we don't wanna talk about.Death.

His examples were simple.When we talk about the past we'd usually say stuff like "baru je semalam........." but when we talk about death,the usual template would be something along the lines of "nanti,bila saya dah mati......".

Death is commonly related to old age.If and unless you are terribly ill,you may be related to death just as much.Do we forget that we can die anytime?I always think of my chances of surviving the world tomorrow.Sometimes,I tend to think that the carelessness of others might lead me to my doom.Actually,that is an erronous thing to do.We can still die no matter how careful or how healthy we are.

While that gives me endless sleepless nights.I'd resort to thinking of surviving or going on having to lose the people I love.I know for sure that it is one thing if I were to go.Even so,I don't know if I am strong enough to face it myself.Let alone being the one left behind.

almost crashed case

Yesterday,Shu accidentally dropped his backpack in men's.His laptop was in it.It dropped to the tiled floor.The edge of the lower left part of his computer cracked.We thought it was done for.When we got home in the evening,I told him to try switching it on with the power adaptors.If that failed,we would either have to get it checked at a computer store and extract or save everything form the hard disk or.........he'd have to get a new computer.

Lucky for him,his laptop worked perfectly.

Eversince we played Dance Dance Revolution over at Sunway Pyramid the other day,it sorta became an addiction.Well......for someone whose never played such a game (such as myself),I won the first time around (eventhough it was only the beginner's level).We tried playing it again today and thanks to Shu,we ended up playing the expert's level.He won but we both failed the level so we didn't get a second round :/

Recently,we discovered a restaurant over in Bangi called Restoran Amir.We passed by it one day by accident coz it was near Bangi Kopitiam.Then,we decided to give it a try.Now,that is THE place to have brunch or lunch for us since my classes are in the mornings and Shu's classes begins at 2pm.The food served there are just simple nasi campur and a bunch of malay/malaysian dishes but they taste awesome and the price is pretty cheap.Definitely cheaper than TTDI and for that sort of food,I have switched from eating nasi kandar to eating proper rice dishes now ^_^

The only sport we've been playing at these days would be badminton.From the first day we started playing which was just Shu and I fooling around in the alley near my house,my dad got us to join him to play proper games over at the park with nets and stuff.I started off as someone who completely sucked at the game.Now,I play so much better.I still don't get the rules of the game so I'd end up at the wrong side of the court most of the time.

Oh yeah,we stopped by at the hospital in Serdang on our way home just to see if we could get our HIV blood test done there.It turns out that only refered cases are treated there.If and unless we come in as an emergency case,they don't have an outpatient clinic there.This would mean that we'd have to go back to plan A which was to go over to UH over in PJ.

Next week,we'll have to check with JAWI regarding the forms Shu and I have to fill-up before the day of nikah.Since Shu's I.C. states that he was born in Terengganu.Therefore,he'll have to fill up some extra forms if we're going to get married here in KL.Our check list of things to do is neverending.......hopefully,we'll be able to clear it out soon ;)

randomness

Shu made me a light up picture frame from his cellphone box.I took out an entire stash of random bits and pieces of junks I've been collecting and we started making things.I experimented a stand-up piece with one of the pictures I printed some weeks ago.

Anywho,this whole randomness began the night after the pre-marriage course ended.I helped Shu out with the soldering iron and stuff a bit and then I ran off after Kecik.Chased him around with the camera.Kecik,being the snoopy that he is,was sticking his nose into the things Shu and I left lying around the floor.Then,he started playing with the pencils and cutters.

Kecik lost his collar last night.We thought someone took it off but Kak Yah said he came home without it.When he came home this morning,the collar was back on and no one in the house took it off or put it back on.Curiouser and curiouser.Of all the cats that are living in our house,Kecik is the only one whose lost the bell on his collar.Then,he lost the bell Shu bought for him.We got him a new bell this morning.Lets just see how long this one will last.

answering the 'why' questions

Shu and I got up early on Sunday morning.We both didn't get much sleep the night before.I was still recovering from fever.He just had trouble falling asleep.We got ready and headed over to Al-Nidaa.We were the first couple to arrive.It was freezing cold.My fingers actually turned blue.

Anywho,everyone arrived in time and the first speaker began giving us a lecture on "Akhlak".Basically,how husbands and wives should behave towards eachother as well as everyone else around them as well.It seems as though it is something everyone knows.Common sense and stuff.Well,not everyone remembers where to draw the line at times.

After a 30-minute break,a female Chief Matron walked in and began talking about health issues.HIV test is a requirement in the procedure of getting married.Shu and I shall be heading over to UH sometime within this week for that.We might even get a whole lot of other tests done as well while we're at it.

We had lunch and went home for Zuhur prayers.Came back at 2pm and the next speaker was a guy who came in to talk about marital procedures.What we'll need on the day of nikah.Documents and stuff.He also talked about the things that could break the marriage like things we sometimes do unintentionally or things that we do without realizing that it's wrong.

The last speaker was awesome.He gave us a talk on dealing with stress and conflicts in a marriage.He first told us that man and woman are different.Physically,mentally and spiritually.The whole thing about the ratio of 1:9 and 9:1 in man and woman is not literally what we are always told.Women work on an emotional level more than functioning on a logical level whereas men functions more on a logical basis.He made a lot of sense and his explanations were very clear.So clear that it made us realize what we are by throwing in random circumstances and asking us what our reactions would be.I'll post it in a different entry later.

Overall,I think Shu and I learned a lot form the course.We also managed to refresh our memories at some point and we were reminded of our rights and responsibilities.It's been a tiring weekend but at least we got it done.Next up,University Hospital!I am so afraid if my blood would come out in a different color (other than red) :/

relearning like learning new things

Pre-marital course:Day 1

Shu said that back in school,he never bothered to go for any form of seminars or courses while I,on the other hand,was sent to all sorts or motivational courses.I didn't like it much.
It was weird that both of us attended a course today and we were both so psyched about it.

The course was held at a place called Al-Nidaa.Situated at the shop lots near my old house.We got there in time.I think there were about 5 couples including us.The first speaker was a guy named Faisal.He sounds like he's been giving talks pertaining to religious relations and marriage.He was always went out of topic a little everytime he moved from one topic to another.There was this one time when he started talking about Jinns.It was getting really interesting till he realized that he was running short of time to cover the entire module.

We had about 30 minutes of gap so Shu and I went for a drink.Got back and a new guy walked in.He gave us a talk on handling family financial affairs.Each couple was given a booklet to keep track of our expenses for a year after we get married.It was a compulsory thingy from the National Bank.Then,we were given a talk on communications in marriage.It was funny coz he had a whole lot to cover and he was really3 short of time.By the end of the session,Shu and I looked at eachother and thought "what the hell was he talking about again?"
We got home in time for Maghrib prayers.

Tomorrow,the second half of the course begins at 8:30am.Luckily,we don't have to get up super early since its near our house anyways.

Bora Asmara@Sg. Penchala

Shu took me out for dinner tonight.I was thinking of somewhere quiet and nice and has the "candle-light-dinner" effect.The place was perfect.We had some pretty good food and there was a live band playing.They came to our table.We hung around a little longer till they finished playing a song for us.Shu's never been there.I'm glad we decided to have dinner there coz he loved the place.

We made it through a whole year this time around ^_^

Tomorrow,we shall both be attending the pre-marital course!

I may still be mistaken for a teenager.......

but I know what I'm doing.

There 2 types of people that I'd usually come across in life.Some are people who would give me endless lectures about life only because they have gone through everything I could ever anticipate in life.Sometimes,they'd irritate me coz I always think that there are choices in life and the choices we make would take us to where we are.If we had gone down a different road,things would have turned out differently.So what these people tell me are only experiences from going down one path.Their lives would have turned out differently if they made a different choice.Still,I keep telling myself that these people are only concerned about what mistakes I could repeat.That's why they tell me what they tell me.

Another group of people would be people who would just tell me things which they have not (yet) experienced.They probably think I am under the impression that they know better when in fact,they too are still new to such circumstances.I wouldn't completely disregard their opinions or suggestions coz they could make sense.I just feel like sometimes,I think they should give it at least a year's worth of experience before telling me the things they tell me about the decisions I make.Even if they are older,that doesn't mean that they are wiser.These people too sometimes irritate me but not as much as the other group of people.

Things happen the way they happen because of the decisions you make.It would have turned out differently if you took a different road.

little big plans






Been going around looking for what's good to use for decorations or themes.Lots of stuff seem useful now thanks to Little Big Planet ^_^ All I need to do now is submit a proposal and hopefully I won't get any form of rejections or anything.If any of such things occur,I shall have to break my head AGAIN for a new plan since I do NOT intend to abandon this current plan of mine!!!!!


Was killing time on Tuesday.Class was cancelled again.Shu and I were at our usual place for brunch in Bangi.We had too much time to kill so we ended up in Putrajaya for some unknown reason.Of course,I am not familiar with the place.We were paddling a tiny boat in the middle of the lake with the sun burning our heads off at noon!It was fun!Next time,we should get Kecik to come along.In case he jumps into the lake,we'll be sure to strap him up with a life jacket.

Took a look around the huge lake at Souq.Shu showed me the Palace of Justice.I'd say,we should go skateboarding there one of these days.The terrain is awesome.

*Shu has recently picked up on skateboarding.He's been skating.I have to recover properly before causing another major injury onto myself AGAIN.Planning to make that mountainboard dream of mine come true.Not anytime soon though.We have wakeboarding on our minds at the same time.......hurmm..........

Had brunch at Gasoline over in Sunway Pyramid today.Lurve that place!Especially the Asian Avenue! ^_^

horribly amused by Mr Hammet :p

After not having any access to the internet (at home) for so long,it kinda feels weird to be here now.The wi-fi router was struck by lightning.Had to get a new one.Didn't know that the entire Streamyx database was reset.

*sigh*

Sarah had always called it Screamyx for a reason........such as......the non-existent operator for the customer service hotline.WTF is up with these people?Went over to the TM office TWICE and none of the receptionists understood what we told them.

Anywho,got it all sorted out and here I am now........online........

Been dealing with a whole lot of problems regarding relationships lately.Not mine.It doesn't even concern neither Shu nor I.That's the weird part.On one hand,there is my sister and her annoying neverending problem with being faithful.She came home one morning crying so badly over a break-up.The next thing I know,she's back together with her boyfriend.After everything she told me that morning,she just can't drop her bad habit.

Shu and I have been advising her and stuff.It's weird coz who would have thought my sister (or Eno!) would bother asking me for advice.If I remember correctly,one of them told me that I should keep my mouth shut when it comes to relationships coz I never had one.Hurmm.......maybe that's why.I wasn't involved in such things till now.

Apart from that,a friend of ours (well,not really a friend type of friend) but it's most likely someone we both know,have recently been up to something really3 suspicious.The thing is,we usually wouldn't give a damn about things like these if it doesn't involve us.This little situation does eventhough it is in an indirect way.Why can't people just be less complicated?Why must the problems of their relationship involve other people whom are not concerned with it?Why can't people just be faithful to one another so that we can all live in peace?

*sigh*

In the world of FidZy and Shu,we have sent our nikah clothings to the tailor.It should be ready by end of this month.We are trying to pick a weekend to go for the marriage course.Hopefully,we can get this all done soon and start a new life together by 2010 ;)

moving away plans

This isn't the first time we've gone through something like this.It hurts.It hurts the both of us.Hopefully,in the long run,we will remember this and hopefully it would help us strengthen what ever we have in the future.I never said this would be easy.We should start our life fresh somewhere at a place where no one can find us.

Obviously,not here............

This is goodbye..........

longing for peace

Ever gotten up on the wrong side of the world and you don't really feel like yourself?That happened to me today.I wanted to do everything and nothing at the same time.That sucked coz I couldn't be myself anywhere.All of that ended after jamming tonight.Thank God for music!

Actually,music didn't really change anything.It just let me vent out all my energy so that I have nothing to waste my miseries on.

The thing about being the vocalist (especially during jamming sessions) is having to endure the smell of the microphones at the studio.It smells bad.Really really REALLY bad.Also,having to put up with lyrics and voice control along while making sure I'm playing the right chords with or without distortions.

I totally forgot a pre-chorus to a song we're so used to covering tonight.That was weird.Didn't get the chords mixed up so much though.That's good coz usually there tend to be a few times when I'm really REALLY messing up a song by playing the wrong chords and stuff.We tried playing Deep Purple's Highway Star and Kamal said we might cover that song.

The studio we jammed at tonight had some twinkle thingy at the drum set.Rashid kept including that sound in our songs and it ruined some of the feel to the songs we played.Towards the end of the jamming session,Shu tried making use of the keyboard and I freaked out coz I heard some strange sounds and I kept thinking that I was causing it.

It was fun but a little tiring coz the studio was in Subang.On our drive back,there was a traffic jam on that road at Kelana Jaya.A Rexton was seen lying on its back across the left lane.I have no idea WTF happened but it must have been driving at high speed or something coz the LDP is a straight road.So irritatingly straight that I cannot comprehend why a traffic jam can occur ever so often on that road.

Anywho,eversince Shu and I went bowling last week,we've been trying to get my brothers together for a game of bowling or something.Maybe we'll do that next weekend.We asked Kamal if he'd like to come along.He said he might.He said he's not good with sports involving the upper part of the body like pool or table soccer.Bowling included.He also said he'd like to try out rugby.Shu and I are very delighted to teach him.We're always short of people to play rugby with.
