between extremely bored or simply takde kerja

Shu finally did it.The one thing I've been wanting to do all this while.He finally pulled that old tube down from hanging on the wall of that house with the swimming pool we'd usually pass on our way to the park.He pulled it down from the wall into the drain.After that,we ran like there's no tomorrow all the way to the other end of the alley.Then,when we realized that noone saw us,we just laughed out loud all the way home.

Several minutes after we got home,we realized that it was still early so we played badminton at the alley near the house.Azim's friend joined us and we started hitting high with the wind and all.One hit went out of control and the shuttle got stuck on the tree from one of the houses compounds.Shu tried to get it down by throwing his slipper at it in hopes that it would fall.The first time that happened,it fell.The second time Shu pulled the same stunt,his slipper ended up in the compound of that house.I thought we were done for but Shu (dengan muka tak malu,walking with one slipper) gave salam to the owner of the house and asked if he could get his slipper back.The lady looked weirded out but let Shu take his slipper anyways.

Oh yeah,Fei Mao got hit by a light vehicle (Dr. Clement suspects it was a motorbike) She's still alive but she was limping.She was practically dragging her hind leg.The doc said she has a muscle concussion.We're still on a lookout to see if she is suffering from any form of internal bleeding.After struggling and getting angry at the vet,she finally got a jap which helped her relax and ease off the pain.So far,there are no signs of blood from her urine or the poo.She's resting now.

Smiley World by Bossini

Why shouldn't we wear the things we buy on the spot and bag our old stuff?
It's been a while since Shu and I got stuff which are identical.It's not like we do it often to begin with but we do have tees which have the same exact prints like the SPCA Take Me Home t-shirt and the PGL Musical ones and the Giordano ones too.........


Anywho,I am very prone to happy looking colorful things these days and from a distance,I spotted a huge smiley face board with loads of colorful t-shirts (yellow mostly).After going around the mall doing what we were supposed to do,we checked out the shop.I picked up a medium sized kid tee and insisted on looking for a t-shirt for Shu.It's yellow-ish orange and it's perfect and happy looking.

My dad was cleaning up the house front for the event happening on Sunday.Shu and I helped in and we realized that my dad was wearing a plain tee with the same color tone.We looked like a bunch of clean up crew.

Alinas,KL

Had class this morning.Shu dropped me off and he went over to CELPAD to get my problems straightened out with them for a bit.After that,realizing that I didn't have anymore classes to go to for the day and that Shu's class was at 4pm,he decided to go look for his songkok for the hantaran with me in KL.

Lunch time wasn't the best time to be in the middle of the city but there we were,stuck in between buses and cabs and cars and people crossing the streets and traffic lights.We parked at some mall and crossed the street since parking is hell in KL.Got what we were looking for and we stopped by at the bookstore next door where Shu got me a Quran.I need to brush up on my reading and stuff IN CASE there is to be a khatam Quran session before our wedding day.

Had lunch in Mutiara Damansara and we managed to stop by at the tailor's shop only to find out that my folks had picked up all my clothes this morning.Went to the bank for a bit and went home.

Shu cameby tonight around 10pm with his cousins.I accidentally left my power adaptor in his car this morning.They joined me along with Aunty Intan,Farah,my uncle,Azim and my mum for drinks and food over at Maulana.

Aunty Intan is decorating and arranging my dulang hantarans so mum and I have been going back and forth to her place as much as she's been doing the same to our place.Uncle Saman actually bought my dad a songkok for my wedding!

Anywho,Gemok (Fei Mao) has issues with me these days.She doesn't sleep in my room anymore and every other time we're hanging out together,she'd be angry at me.Today,she crossed the line.She's gonna sleep downstairs in the lounge tonight!

Speaking of these kiddies,Shu said Kecik was being a pain when he was gonna get me from the airport on Sunday.He kept making noise and when he realized that Shu wasn't responding,he climbed up from the back of the driver's seat and made noise at Shu's ear!Shu had to stop at some shop on the highway to get him food and water.Then,he slept on Shu's lap all the way to the airport.

kedai gunting rambut Ananda@TTDI

I have never been to a barber shop before and today,Shu needed a quick haircut so since we were already in the area,we decided to go Ananda's.It was so cool!The barber was quick and before we realized it,he was done with Shu's hair.

brown bag kecil

Hah!Finally!A skate shop!The dude at the shop said they just moved there last Tuesday from Shah Alam.AWESOMENESS!!!!!Shu said that the skaters in Shah Alam are freakin' awesome.I'mma go check that skatepark sometime.The last couple of times I was there was to go get something from Shu's classmate........oh yeah,Shahrul's (LabRat) studio is there.Oh yeah,Rashid's bike brokedown on Friday so Shu and I met him halfway down at the gas station.

*Ada motor tapi tak service!Spark plug rupa macam dah berkurun tak tukar!

Got up late this morning.My body is aching.This miss smarty pants was so damn sleepy and tired yesterday but still went running and played badminton at the park yesterday.RUNNING!Something I thought I'd never be able to do ever again since we moved.Then,I was even more demotivated when that stupid shoe thief took my running shoes TWICE!I'd like to tie the idiot to a tree full of fire ants!

Anywho,Shu and I had lunch at the mall of all places which explains how we got to know about the skateshop where he got me this awesome hat my mum says ridiculous looking.I love it anyways.We finally went back to the chocolate shop for those yummylicious choc coated coffee beans!Saw these awesome pair of white shoes.We would have gotten it (for Shu) but the cutting was too narrow so we ditched it.

*sigh*

However,my baju nikah is awesome looking!We stopped by at the tailor's shop to see if it's ready and it is!OMFG!I'm gonna need a bit of height but at least I know that I didn't put on weight which is good coz they'd have to alter it otherwise.Yey!Shu took a picture of my engagement ring.I know I'm not supposed to see it but I just had to!It's pretty!

Shu told me to NOT get myself majorly injured anytime soon.I can't promise but I'll try ^_^ Of course,that would mean that I cannot play badminton against my dad coz he'd so totally kill me.

weekend away

Left for my grandma's place down south on Friday night.My cousin had some kenduri thingy going on and since I haven't gone to see my relatives there in a while,I figured it was probably a good idea to go.I forgot that my cousins still had no idea I'm going to get engaged this coming weekend!It was crazy.Had a lot of catching up to do with my aunt and grandma as well.We had a swell time over dinner last night.My flight today back home was at noon.Shu came to get Azim and I from the airport (along with Kecik!)

Both,Shu and I are equally exhausted.After sending me off on Friday night,he went over to his sister's place to wait for his dad coz he went back to Terengganu with him late that night.He just got back on a bus this morning.He's been talking to his entire family about this coming weekend.His dad underestimated (or possibly misunderstood) the gravity of the situation.He thought it was a merisik session when it is in fact an engagement ceremony.That explains why he's been so cool about everything all this time.

Some changes had been made.Knowing my mum,from the moment Shu told her what's gonna happen this weekend,she's been rearranging and relisting and rechecking her list(s).While we were out for badminton at the park today,she got Aunty Intan and Farah over to go over the new plans.

The reason Shu's dad insists on having the occassion on Sunday instead of Friday is because all of Shu's sisters will be at work.The wisdom behind this little change of plan is that my aunt and my uncle will be able to come over on Sunday ^_^ I have no idea is Tasha is around.Not sure if Qarim will be home.It doesn't matter.I have shitloads to do from tomorrow onwards.I have no idea what's going to happen coz the one and only engagement ceremony I have ever been to was Ili's last year which seemed like the wedding itself.

Here and now,I am trying to get some sleep coz I've been up all night last night.I was trying to find a spot to sleep but ends up moving from one place to another.I couldn't sleep in the plane.I never do.Especially on a 50-minute flight!For someone who is so afraid of take-offs and landings (and turbulences),I got window seats for both my flight to JB and back!I tried drawing and reading just to get my mind off what's happening out on the wing but everytime the plane moved a little more than normal and the pressure changes,I'd panic BIG TIME!I could have sworn I was hyperventilating.Even that mak cik sitting on the other aisle at the other end was calm!WTF?!

Ed and/or Ted!

<---this is Ed.......or maybe Ted......

<---inspired by CIMB's octopus

<---counseling Kecik

<---Shu's half covered flash effect shot

<---light up,light up

It's been windy in the evenings these days.Not the best weather for badminton.Eversince Azim bought the rugby ball,Shu and I have been tossing and kicking the damn thing all over the park.We're planning on a tiny game on the 18th or 19th morning.Naim said he wants in.Kamal maybe joining us.Rashid and my sister SHOULD be around.Haven't told Azim and his friends yet.We might as well have a picnic at the same time.

The terrain at the Zaaba park could break someone's leg!It's horrible!Shu sprained his ankle!Just tossing and kicking caused me muscle cramps.I couldn't even cough properly last night coz the muscles in my lower tummy was killing me.

Anywho,my side of TTDI had a blackout last night.The funny thing was only Shu,Azim,Ash and I were at home at the time.We were 15 minutes till the finishing of that CSI episode then everything went dark.Azim and I grabbed our bokkens IN CASE anyone broke-in.The whole area went dark!Then,we realized that those trucks we saw while having dinner earlier were mobile generators.One was parked right across the street from our house.

was watching LA Ink while waiting for Shu and my dad to get home at about 2am this morning

One girl walked into Kat's shop and said she wants to have her very first tattoo.It was huge and it was on her back.Her story was sad.Very sad.It took her 7 years to finally graduate from college.One of the many things that held her back was the death of her fiancée.She said it took her a whole year off school for her to get herself back on track.That must have been really hard for her to have gone through.

MOG@One Utama

<---Got meself a pair of glasses.FINALLY!Actually,this one is on Shu.Azim stole mine.He's already lost 2 pairs of glasses.

<---Po Chi Lam aka the next Waroeng Penyet mascot (look out for her appearence at my wedding reception!)

<---Kecik's typical innocent look everytime he sees me hold up a camera.

<---sama saja anak and bapak.Menyibuk saja!

fear

People ask and tell me that Shu and I need to space out a little away from eachother from time to time.I think we do give eachother space.The only reason I don't want to be away from him is because I keep thinking that life is short and that I don't want to be apart should anything happens to either one of us.I think the pain of going through life knowing that I wasn't there with him at the last second of his life or vice versa scares me a lot.

4 hours at the emergency room at the hospital was more than enough to know what it's like to not know what's gonna happen in the next second eventhough we were right next to eachother.We are after all,mortals.This very fact kills me.

hantaran

It is a concept.A very cultural ritual.About giving and recieving things.Related to marriage.It took me so long to fully understand what it is about.Not that I have.I'm just trying to get this all through alive with Shu.

We have been listing and re-listing and re-listing what we want and need for the hantaran.It's weird coz I am not the type of person to want things.The things that I want cannot be bought.I do not shop.I do.Not as much as a regular person would.I am the worst person to go shopping with.I can never answer the question "What do you want?" whenever we're at a shopping mall.

Anywho,I have about 1 or 2 items short from the hantaran list and I seriously cannot think of anything I want.I know that I'd like to get a laptop for Shu.That's the only thing I really want to do now.And I want Kecik to snap out of his miseries and pain and just be himself again.The crazy kitten he used to be........

The one person I shouldn't ask regarding this whole hantaran issue would be my sister but I do talk to her about it anyways coz I like talking to her.Right now is not the best time.She's going through a major sugar rush and she keeps asking things she doesn't wanna know.

My only concern right now is the period of time I have to go through before marrying Shu.I doubt if I can survive.I have no idea how people can go on being in a relationship while living so far away from eachother.I can't.My life have shifted so much that I don't know what it's like anymore to wake up knowing that I won't see him the moment I step out from my room.

counting down

It's been a long 2 months and I have gotten used to waking up every single day to seeing Shu every morning.I can't imagine what the next 4 months is going to be like since we've been doing loads of stuff together all this time.Seriously,it could kill me and if I don't buck up,I might just die halfway through the semester.

On the brighter side of things,Shu's final word is that we will wed latest by November 2009 (INSYALLAH-eventhough we'd really wanna get it done by October!).All the preparations are halfway done although I know that I am missing some things in the checklist like a photographer and make-up artist and probably a hairstylist.Haha!

Mum called the tailor who is doing/has done my akad nikah outfit.Shu said that our wedding rings are ready.We probably need to alter it a little bit or so.I need to stay healthy and injured-free.I need to go over my workout routine!This current one could kill me within a matter of days!

We still have a matter of months to get things ready.Aunty Intan is helping out with the door gifts.Mum has paid the downpayment for the hall rental for the reception next year!

P.S.:Eno-san (Cheryl) so sorry we couldn't wait for you guys to come home.I'm still gonna make my sister wear that chicken outfit!Hahahahahahaaaa!!!!!

Gemok & her thinking spot

<---Time orang nak masak,time tuh la dia nak makan!

<---this is my sis aka Yao aka Po Chi Lam

<---does she look any different in this pic?

<---this is me immitating her

cookin'

Shu had been wanting to cook me grilled stingray since he got back from Terengganu last week.We finally went to the market not so early this morning and got the fish.Mum was out with my sister.Kak Yah was out.Azim was upstairs with his friends.Ash was in the lounge watching TV.I have no idea where my dad went.The only thing my mum told Shu and I was "Don't set my kitchen on fire!" before she left.We didn't.It's clean and neat.Just the way she left it.

I helped Shu grill the fish while he made the sauce.We had a hard time improvising coz we ran out of vinegar.Halfway through,I made Shu some omelette.We made a pretty good team.When everything was cooked and cleaned,mum got home.She always gets annoyed coz we'd usually cook just enough for the both of us.It is still under experimental level.We wouldn't wanna cause any harm to other people IF anything went wrong.

Now we know that between Shu and I,he is definitely a better cook.I'll stick to desserts.Hahahaha!

Wetland Park@Putrajaya

<---that was where we went for the boat ride (where Shu studied for his midterms with me in the middle of the lake at NOON!!!!!!)

<---the manmade island we never got to go to

We got to Putrajaya at about 11:50am.That would be 10 minutes earlier than when we were there last month!Hahaha!We were actually looking for the flamingos which were at the wetland park on the other side.

Of course,we picked the perfect time of the day to be in the middle of the park.The sun was scorching hot and I could hardly open my eyes.The mosquito bites were stinging and the giant ants looked like they could kill a person!

We had fun though.I never thought I'd see and hear the flamingos.There were also a couple of mandarin ducks as well.Those looked like they were shoved aside coz they were just the minorities in the lake.Hahahahaha!

We got home in time for a badminton game.Now we are just extremely exhausted.We haven't even recovered from yesterday's exhaustion and we were at it again today.I would probably be the only one on the court diving on my knees and rolling around from left to right trying to save a shuttle :/

went to see the flamingos today

<---On the seeing tower

<---I wanted to capture the heat

<---these birds sound like wildboars!

randomness

<---Kecik's buruk face!

<---an elevator for 3 people ONLY
