Vampires & Werewolves Inc.

I am stuck at the computer again.This time it's all about running a movie studio.Things like these are addictive especially when you have nothing to do.

My weekdays would be waiting for Shu to finish classes and then we'll hangout or something.Sometimes,I'd follow him to campus and we'd hangout in between classes.I was just telling him how strange this has all been for me coz I should be busy but I am stuck with absolutely nothing to do instead.

My sister brought a friend home last weekend named Tharish.She's a singer songwriter and she's an Aquarian.We had a long chat at the dining table about the songs that we write and the songs that we like.She played me the song she wrote called Voices.The words are beautiful and she has a very unique voice.Her songs should be accompanied by keyboards and violins and cellos.

I've been on the treadmill.That thing can kill me coz it's so addictive yet it could wear me out within minutes.

Festival Seni UNITEN

Shu told me about it and we went to check it out yesterday.Saw one of his junior classmates performing on an Indian musical instrument called a Tabla.The dude played alongside a solo keyboard.It was awesome.

I tried playing a Gamelan instrument called a Gambang.One guy taught us how to read the notes which were basically numbers.The trick was to use both hands and making sure that both hands hit the right note.Not as easy as it sounds.

We stopped by at a booth covered with prints in brown.The booth was all about the Fiji Islands.The guy at the booth told us about the weapons which were mostly clubs.We learned how to fully utilize the club coz each side of the club serves a different function.Usually,the head of the victim goes to the chief of the tribe (to be eaten of course) while the rest of the body goes to the tribe.Then,we looked at a whole bunch of necklaces.Some were made of boar tusks.Some were made of sea shells.The coolest thing I learned from the guy at the booth was about the tribal art and how they were made and who makes them and where they come from.The guy also explained how the inks made from mangrove trees produces different shades of brown depending on the duration of time you leave it to boil.One long sheet of clothe made from a tree bark was taken out and wrapped around Shu.The guy said that the color of the sheet indicates that the person wearing it is of royal blood and the shade of the color indicates where he comes from.How cool is that?!

Next,Shu and I stopped by at the Saudi Arabian booth.Shu picked up a sword just to see how heavy it was.We were given dates and some Arabian Coffee which we burnt both our tongues.The coffee was nice though.Very mild.Like tea.

The people at the Yemen booth were quite happy to see us.They even let us try out their costumes and had our pictures taken.Their daggers are awesome and very handy.

Kecik looked so bored so I took him for a ride

Qarim may be right.Kecik does have that longing for an adventure look.He'd get bored easily and he's always begging for Shu and I to take him along whenever we leave in the morning.

Anywho,being the troublemakers like we are,Shu and I almost got busted in UNITEN today.He didn't have his I.D. on and I didn't have a visitor's pass.I sat in his class and became his study buddy today.I also drove him around coz his left knee is injured from yesterday's accident during the rugby game we had.

I am so trying out the new Sims 3!

we do singing telegrams now?

Since when?Will we get paid?Hello?Where's Mr. Band Manager?!

I am still recovering by the way........Not sure if singing is a good idea anytime soon.........

Prince Court Medical Center,KL

Aimi was transferred there from Ampang Putri.She was told that she could leave but Shu's parents weren't so sure if that was a good idea coz she probably needs to be supervised still.Sure enough,she did need more help.Last night,she said that her whole body was in pain and today,she couldn't eat anything coz she kept throwing up.Mum said maybe it was the meds she's been on since the accident.

Apart from all that and the fact that she was exhausted when I went to see her a while ago,she's fine.Her husband (Nizar) and her baby (Irham) were there along with Shu's folks.Nizar seemed like he still had dissatisfactions with the dudes who got Aimi into this.The thing is,nothing can be done (insurance and stuff) until the driver of the other vehicle gets out from the hospital and writes a seperate report plus his confession for being guilty.

Later on,Shu's parents took Irham to Shu's other sister's house.Shu and I sent them there and then we picked up Hana (Shu's first sister's daughter) and all of us went out for dinner.Later on,Kak Long (Shu's first sister) joined us.I had fun talking to Shu's dad.He was asking me about my plans in the future.He seemed surprised to hear that I am planning to go away from my family.He asked me what my folks think of it.My folks (mum especially) wants us all to go away.

After that,Shu and I took our time driving around KL before heading home ^_^

Shu is fast asleep now.He's been up all day since morning.

more than just luck

Aimi (Shu's sister) got into an accident yesterday morning on the DUKE highway as she was on her way to work.It was a VERY BAD accident but she survived.Two guys in a Satria were tailgating her and as she moved to the slow lane,the Satria drove too close and accidentally hit the tail of her car.

Aimi's car flipped forward and then hit the wall on the left side of the road and then rolled over ending up with all four wheels on top.LUCKILY,she DID NOT have her baby in the car with her.LUCKILY,her rear window was broken and gave her enough space to crawl out from the completely wrecked vehicle.LUCKILY,she did NOT pass out so she managed to get out of the car quickly.LUCKILY,she drives a HONDA CITY.The airbag saved her life.If it was any Malaysian car,the driver would have ended up dead.

She is currently admitted at a hospital in KL.Shu said she's quite stabil now.I was told that she has a huge cut from one side above her nose to the other side above her lips.Shu said her lips were swollen yesterday.I'm planning to go see her tonight just to see how she is.Thank God,her husband did NOT take the offer to go offshore in Vietnam so he's around to keep her company.

I,on the other hand,am sick.My immunity system is super low these days.I have a swollen tonsil and a slight flu.No,it's not influenza A or anything like that.My mum keeps telling me to take supplementaries like Cod Liver Oil and some vitamins.Why not,more pills!

I spent the weekend having to share my tatami with my sister.That alongside the fact that she also shared my comforter and my pillow.I spent sleepless nights getting her elbow and her hand off my face and sometimes,I'd wake up from the shocking cold surface of the tile floor.

mangkuk ayuns and idiots

I just asked if Qarim would have wanted to drive the car and he declined the offer.He's not that interested in driving anyways.Well,I know one very good reason why he doesn't even wanna try.We are stuck with a bunch of people whom only know how to drive but don't have a clue about what signal lights and lines on the roads are for.

For example,I never knew that many people are still anal about stopping at junctions.Most of these creatures who fall under the category of idiots would just zoom out of junctions into the main road.And after pulling such stunts,they'd drive extremely slow on the road and later on just turning into a tiny road absent mindedly<---without any signals indicating that they were about to do so.

Also,there are other types of creatures from the lowest part of the food chain who would park at a turning.One very good example would be those who'd park at the turning near Devi's Corner of TTDI.Buses would have to take up space from the lane(s) from the opposite direction just to turn into the lane.If ever these buses were to scratch of simply run into any of these cars,they would probably make the headlines of tomorrow's newspapers.Most of these cars are expensive cars.Too expensive that they cannot afford to pay for proper parking spaces.Then again,maybe they just cannot bring themselves up to walk a few meters to the restaurant.

Other insignificant but annoying assholes would just park at tiny turning,leaving very little space for other cars to pass.There was one silly fella who double parked outside a parking lot with the words KHAS printed in yellow on the ground of that lot.It was way pass office hours :/ and it definitely WAS NOT a fire hydrant.

please contact Naim for more info

Naim is selling off his Les Paul copy Santa Cruz AND the hardcase.Both for MYR700++ Please leave a comment with your contact number and I'll get Naim to call you......or something.......

*I kinda like his guitar........hurm...........*

more collisions

I was totally blown away a couple of years back when I foundout that LinZy's friends and probably some family members are associated or was associated with people whom I know from my end of the world.Then,when I met Shu and he told me that he is friends with some people in TTDI,I was surprised to find out that these dudes are kids from my school.We used to be schoolmates.Tonight,when Shu and I went over to Dan's house (next to where I used to live) Shu told me that one of the guys coming out from Dan's place looked familiar.He totally knew the guy!The dude is Eno's batchmate back in school.I was totally spooked when I heard Dan mentioning the name Clone.Clone is Shu's best buddy since his days in KYSM.It turns out that Clone and Dan and that dude we met at Dan's place were all together in the states to study.

Strange little world I live in...........

zusammen

When I was Ili's engagement ceremony a couple of years ago,I kept thinking what it was that made her change and what it was that made her want to be there where she was on the road to spending the rest of her life with that guy she was getting engaged with at the time.Now,being here where I am,I cannot explain why I want to do this.All I know is that I want to and that I am happy to be here-on my way to spending my entire life with Shu.

A few years back,I was far from deciding a date for my wedding.Everyone (myself included) thought I'd probably be the last one to tie the knot.Some people still cannot absorb the fact just yet and everytime we talk about it,they'd have a hard time believing that I am old enough to do this.

Gemok's ultimate escape.........

She didn't get very far though.Just under my neighbour's car next door.I have no idea how or when she got there but this morning,she couldn't get back coz she still hasn't recovered.Every morning,I'd hear her scream downstairs coz Kak Yah would give her meds before letting her into my room.She hates being carried around and she hates taking medications.She'd usually be all grumpy when she enters my room but after a while,she'd get over it and fall asleep.

RadioEdit:Band update

We'll begin recording by the 26th (INSYALLAH) if all goes well.The drill,of course,will be recording the drums first.We have yet to have another band meeting ASAP since we still haven't figured out which song to record FIRST and how we're gonna get Rashid to play to a live recording of our songs.

Still a work in progress.

Yumi suggested we'd record Mental Vacation first.Not a bad choice actually.......

sneak preview........hahahahaha!!!!!!

I got engaged yesterday (July 19th 2009)!Loads happened.There were a whole lot of FIRST TIMES such as what I did to my hair and what I wore and what I had on and stuff.I didn't have time to blog about it yesterday coz I was dead tired by the time I was by myself.Also,I had class this morning so I needed the sleep.

I have to keep in mind that yesterday was the first and shall be the last time I'm ever using liquid eyeliners.Black liquid eyeliners and mascara!My aunt and my sister couldn't make up their minds about what color my lips should have been so they kept putting on lisptick and lip liners and then erased it and started over.I think they did it for about 3 times.

OMFG!I so got my hair curled!With a curling thong,of course.The typical blow drying method could never work.My hair was first straightened and then curled.Don't think I'd wanna do that again.It was fun while it lasted though.

Ili came and I was so glad and surprised to see her.Ash was nice enough to come help us clean the house and all.He was scrubbing the porch for God sakes!Eventually,he was appointed as the photographer.LinZy,Yumi and Maj turned up later in the night.Thanks!I wasn't sure if I was allowed to invite anyone coz I'm always kept outside of discussions.....so sorry for not inviting you guys officially.

The negotiations went on pretty quick.Shu's family arrived at 2:30pm.Before 3pm,everything was settled.All of Shu's sisters and brother were present.Also,Shu's uncle and aunt and all their kids (Hafiz,Fakhri and Ikhwan and their other 3 younger siblings) My aunts and grandma drove from JB.My other aunts were already at my place in the morning.My uncle had been helping out since the night before.Aunty Intan,Farah and Aunty Gina had helped so much.Aunty Intan and Farah did all the hantaran while Aunty Gina made the cupcakes.A whole lot of other people helped in as well like Kak Ti and Kak Yah.My sister and Naim.Oh yeah!My nephew and my tiny cousins came too ^_^

It was pretty weird coz usually when the house is all cleared up for kenduris and stuff,my tiny cousin and I would be the ones to wrestle and play and run around the carpeted floor.It was also weird coz up till the time I had to get dress,it felt as though I was still part of the clean up crew like I usually would be.I had a blast.

More pictures shall be posted up soon ;)
Enjoy the sneak previews........thanks to Ash!

what's the worst thing to happen before a semi big day?

Having your left palm wrapped thanks to a certain cat by the name of Kecik who scratched me with his powerful hind leg coz he freaked out when he heard and saw the vacum cleaner!Thanks to him,one of my favourite t-shirts has a whole now!Luckily,my right hand will be the one recieving the engagement ring tomorrow!

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.
<---Before

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.
