kisah seorang anak

Aiyo!I really have no idea how the hell some Malaysians got their driver's license!Kalo bawak kereta tuh macam bawak lori!Time nak buat turning dah la takleh dok dalam lane sendiri.Asal la pulak kena makan jalan orang biler nak turn?There is this thing called principles of physics whereby if you actually belajar betol2 time baru nak blaja bawak kete tuh,I wonder if these people know of the fact that the moment you drive pass the point you are going to make your turn,let at least half the body of your car pass the point of turning and you can make a perfect turn.U-turns are designed and measured for cars to make turns with enough space.You don't have to take up space from the lane next to you just to make a turn!Your car is not as big as a lorry or a bus!

And today,I almost lost the side mirror to an idiot's car door coz the idiot opened the door without checking if there were any cars passing by at the time.If the side mirror hit the car door,I would have gave a knuckle sandwich to that idiot for being stupid!

Another thing I notice about some drivers is that they have no plan AT ALL.WTF?!If you drive into a jam like if the lane is narrow and there is another car opposite of yours,think of the best possible way to let one of the 2 cars pass.This can be done by applying a little logic..........if there are any at all...........

microkeratomized

I think I've been doing a bit too much reading on microkeratome that watching the cornea being sliced is nothing new to me anymore ;p Yeah,it does sound gross but after a while,you realize that it's not so bad.The only video and reports I avoid reading or watching is the surgery gone wrong.Eeeeuw!

Hahaha!We had lunch over at that Kelantanese restaurant we used to go to all the time once upon a time early this year.The people there know us and they realize that we haven't been there in a while.We realize that they have their own tees now!

I have been wanting to play the sims for weeks now and Shu finally let me have a go with the Sims 3 on his computer.That was exactly what I needed!I am looking for a way to get a new computer now coz the game runs on computers with really advanced specs.

WHY?????!!!!!!!!

Shu is loving his new room at the new place he and his cousins have moved into.It's actually very cozy ^_^

While killing time yesterday,Shu drove us to the Bentley Music Store in Mutiara Damansara.We each have fallen in love with different acoustic guitars.He tried out this black acoustic guitar.The body looked like Jack Black's customized acoustic guitar from Pick of Destiny.He said the neck is so comfortable.I can't compromise in getting another acoustic guitar since I just got myself one a couple of years ago.What I can consider is a 12-string acoustic guitar like the one Alex (Kapranos) has.I like it coz it has a very metal-ish treble sound which I lurve so much.

At first,Shu wanted to get me the Avril Lavigne edition of Squire but that would be kinda redundant looking at the specs of that guitar compared to my Viper-50.I thought the Deryk edition was neat but the specs were the same so I told Shu not to get it.Squire has some really neat range of electric guitars but I have issues with having too many things.Guitars included.

Told my dad about the 12-string acoustic guitar and he lurves the idea of getting one but not as a hantaran gift.Alrighty!

20 minutes

Shu left his house keys at my house when he left last night.Since my class was late in the evening today,I decided to leave home early and join him for lunch in Bangi.......and pass him his keys as well.It only took me 20 minutes to get from TTDI to UNITEN.It's either the clear traffic or I was simply speeding......nah.......I was doing my usual speed ;)

Anywho,I picked Shu up from the COE and we headed off to lunch.We ended up eating at some western restaurant coz the mall was flooding with people from the offices nearby.Bad idea to be around those people especially during lunchtime.

It's been a while since I drove myself around on my own.Yesterday,I was singing out loud to all the cds I had playing throughout my journey.It was funny coz usually Shu and I would be singing to whatever songs that come to mind regardless if we know the lyrics to them or not.

Shu said I am beginning to sound like Kecik these days :p Just as long as I don't start looking like him I know I'm still on the right track.

Foxburr's brilliant idea

Shu and I are always at KFC buying Tok Mah's food.Today,the both of us decided to do something new to kill time.I dared Shu to pose like the picture of Colonel Sanders behind him.He did.We laughed our heads off and people were totally watching!

movin'

Shu had to move out from the apartment he and his cousins currently live in and move into a different unit on the lower floor.The thing is,he has to vacate the house by Monday.Rushing against time,he and I went over to the apartment to clean up his stuff.His cousins turned up a bit later.We were told that we had to wait till 2pm coz the unit they were moving into is locked and the house owner has the keys and he was only gonna turn up at about 2pm.

So,we waited and packed up more stuff and finally the dude turned up.The new place Shu is moving into is smaller than the one he was living in before.The good thing about moving is that he and his cousins managed to get rid of loads of things which were mostly junk left by either they friends from semesters before or just some random useless things.I don't know about Shu but I find getting rid of things therapeutic.

We cleaned up the new place.Swept the floors,washed them,scrubbed them.Shu washed the bathroom.His cousin cleaned up the kitchen.I did the cleaning in the lounge area.The place is squeaky clean and ready to be moved into.Shu and his cousins carried on moving things slowly into the new place but we'd still have to go back there tomorrow coz there are a lot more things that needs to be moved and arranged.

I had fun cleaning up the place ^_^

----------------------------------------------------------------

I had trouble trying to get Kecik to compromise with the guidelines of his semi quarantine.He is SUPPOSED to stay in a cage but Shu and I decided to let him out coz we know how much he hates the cage.He is SUPPOSED to wear the cone collar to prevent him from licking his stitches.Unfortunately for Shu and I,Kecik is a wee bit too smart for a cat that he'd easily slip out from the cone collar everytime we put it on him.I can't always push his head away everytime he licks his stitches.

SO.........I have decided to just let him be.Kecik has too much pride and anger and I am trying so hard to not be so rigid.I am going to try to keep an open mind in hope that he won't do anything that would cause anymore damage to himself after this :/

Kecik's surgery

<---Kecik after coming out from surgery with heavy anaesthetic

<---Kecik's tail after surgery

<---Kecik's bitten butt.Suspect that he got it from stealing other cat's girlfriend while mating.

shoppin' again

Shu got home this morning.He was lucky today coz his car got spotted at BHP so he got 80 bux worth of vouchers for fuel free plus a pre-loaded 20 bux touch n go card.All you have to do is have the sticker on your car and turn up at the gas station at the right time.He was just lucky coz we were on our way out and I insisted that he fueled up his car before going to wherever.

My cellphone is dying.It has come to a point whereby charging it just cannot guarantee a full life for the phone anymore.So,Shu decided to get me a new phone.We went hunting from one shop to another and none of the shops had the phone we wanted.We ended up buying the phone from the forth mall we went to today.Well,we finally got me a new phone and it works just fine.

We went around looking at travel luggage bags.We found some really neat ones but didn't buy any of them coz we had to check if my mum had some unused ones back at home.

Went to the park in late in the afternoon.We did some kicking and catching with the rugby ball.I am slowly getting my momentum back but the muscle aches are still there.Once I get back into the regular routine I should be fine ^_^

"band meeting"

Ayie didn't turn up.Kamal showed up in his working outfit (complete with necktie) and he looked so much worse than he usually does.The dude's been looking at the computer (doing work) for 9 hours straight plus a crappy customer who just does not know when to give in........etc..........

Anywho,a new problem has arise.It goes by the name Ayie.Since he's been unemployed these past few months,he's been super unavailable even for meetings.The reason we all turned up tonight was to get our recording tentative straightened out.Kamal,Rashid and I have reached a verdict whereby we shall need Shu as a permanent sessionist<---kinda ironic.

Kamal said that Shu has been performing with RadioEdit more often than Ayie did.I think he meant Shu had been turning up for band meetings more often than Ayie.NVM.The bottom line is,we need to get this straightened out real fast.

Shu has to vacate his apartment by Monday.That means,he's gonna be needing help moving out all his stuff this weekend (or something) For God's sake,he only knew about having to move out last weekend which is rather inconvenient but it needs to be done anyways so I'm here to help at the very least.

There will be lots of changes in plan for my coming wedding in a few months time.We might cut out a whole bunch of things and we might even not have certain things at all.I've decided to put my foot down and Shu will be doing the talking this time around.If we want to keep it the way "we" want it to be then we have to do what ever is necessary.

Oh yeah,my neighborhood came by to give us some fruits and wished us Selamat Hari Raya.I miss the old neighborhood :( We used to know everyone and we'd say hello to everyone.This new place we moved into has somewhat of a brothel (coz it looks like a spa but only guys go in and out of the place) and on the other side,there's a bicycle freak whose always having people going in and out of the house repairing bikes and stuff.

rest in peace nameless kitten

The kitten was lying in an awkward way as though he couldn't get up at all anymore.I got scared.I knew he was dying and there was nothing I could do.Not anymore.The past one week he/she has been with us hopefully helped him/her see the better side of life.

The speculations about the kitten's origin is endless especially now that it is dead.It could have been taken by some irresponsible people and then abandoned.Or.....it could have had a mother and then she died so it was left alone.

Still,the kitten could have died in worse manner like drowning in a drain somewhere or get run over by car(s)........or even get bitten and eaten by dogs or something........

Well,the kitten died at about 11am-ish this morning.

so panas!!!!!

Went running today.Had to stop halfway through coz the heat was getting to me.Then,I decided to shoot some hoops.After a while,I felt like my skin was burning so I stopped and ran home.

Managed to get the big cage out and transfered the nameless kitten into it.He/she seems happier but I guess the noisy part is the just its nature.Bedah seems happy with the bathing salt tub.Fei Mao has been sleeping and Kecik is nowhere to be seen.

Went to see my grand aunt today.She is literally just skin and bones but she still is her old nice self.The one whom we could have decent conversations with.My grandaunties (my dad's aunts) are also sick and they are dying.

Speaking of dying,I have yet to go see Edzuan.His tumor has dispersed throughout his brain cells.He is dying.He's got about 2 more years to go.He's not even 30 (I think).I haven't seen him in a long while anyways.What would I say to him?What would anyone say to a dying person?

A lady who used to be in charge of the female district in the mosque passed away.She helped cleaned my late grand aunty who died years ago.The lady died of blood poisoning.She had parkinsons and she took a whole lot of steroids to stay in control but did not consume enough H2O to dilute it all into her system properly and eventually it clogged up her kidneys.

We'll be heading over to Aunty Intan's place later.Tomorrow is her late son's 20th birthday (Izwan) I hope all goes well for her.

*Later passed*

We'll head for the jamming studio tomorrow night.Our recording session should begin on Monday but we still have loads of lose ends to tie up before jumping into the recording studio.Ayie is still unemployed and looking for a job so he might not make it for some of the recording sessions.......or something........

Aunty Intan cooked a whole lot of food tonight.Deserts included.Everyone was home (Farah and Faizal) so we had quite a lot to talk about.I'd say that went well.

making new friends

This is a kitten my aunt picked up from Uda.His name is Baby.He is ever so manja and so very chomel.I think he went through a series of culture shock when we arrived coz usually there's no one at home.Looking at his teeth,he is definitely NOT a year old yet but definitely more than 4 months old coz his eyes are gold in color.

Kecik is orange in color with white stripes.Baby was something different.Grey with black stripes and instead of having pink-ish paws,his was black.His nose is black in color as well.He is chomel and so playful.

happier at home

I don't know WTF is up with everyone throughout the entire journey to JB and back.Everyone seem to be angry and hostile and for some strange reason I seem to have a target painted on my forehead.That really sucks.I am so glad to be home.This is where my life is.

I am not at all a fan of Hari Raya and therefore I shall not be entertaining or visiting.I don't know if it's a Malay thing or it's just Malaysians.Year after year,they keep doing the same thing and year after year,things get so much worse than before.Dude,it's just Hari Raya.What's the rush?And I really don't understand people who'd come over and not leave.Don't they have some other places to go?

My brothers,my sister and I do not entertain kids below the age of 10 because we not only know them but we don't see why we should give them cash freely.I do not open the door to them nor anyone whom I do not know regardless if they have a baju raya on or not.

I am so happy to know that my cats and kitten and hamster are alive and well and crazy and weird as usual.Damn!Fei Mao was freaking out over a rag on the floor last week!WTF is wrong with that cat?!And today,she was at my room door.When I let her in,she was so shocked to see my sister behind the opened cupboard door and started freaking out like she's never seen her before.Kecik was starving.

A little misunderstanding happened while we were out of town.It really is annoying to have too many variables involved in one little favor.Glad that is solved.

I am so going out tomorrow morning.

noble

Kak Yah did a very noble deed by cleaning up the little kitten.It turns out that the little thing was crying all night coz she was all covered in dirt and there were ants biting her.I was gonna clean her up but I got up super late so by the time I got up,Kak Yah had already done the cleaning.If you touch her tummy,you can feel the bones on the tiny body of that kitten.I have a feeling we'll be keeping the kitten after all.She's so chomel but she's too tiny to be left on her own.She's cold and always hungry especially since it's been raining today.But overall,I think she's doing so better than yesterday ^_^

Anywho,Shu's bus left at about 11:30am-ish this morning and he only got home in Terengganu at about 7:30pm-ish.That is SUCH A LONG TIME!

not a fosterer

I try very hard to not pick up cats or kittens from anywhere and make them believe that they can have a home here with me.It never works.The cats living behind my house seem to think that I am the one to call when they get hungry.The chomel grey cat even sits outside my bedroom window!Kecik and Fei Mao hates that cat.I don't mind her but she tends to make a lot of noise.

Earlier today,Aunty Intan asked Shu and I to take a kitten from her house and leave it somewhere where it won't go be able to go back to her house.The thing is,the kitten is very VERY tiny.It was hungry and cold and dirty and smelly.I couldn't just toss it out in the rain.It could get hit by a car.Or it could get attacked by other cats or dogs.Or it could end up drowning in some drain.

So,I took it home,fed it and let it stay in a cage so that it won't spread whatever disease it has to my other cats.Eventhough my mum doesn't like the idea of adopting another cat/kitten,she couldn't let that poor thing go out all alone in the rain.What she told me to do is to take that kitten to the vet tomorrow morning to get it cleaned up and possibly vaccinated and then think of what we're gonna do with it later on.

As much as I hate the idea,I figured that the safest place for it to go to would be SPCA.I cannot imagine what will happen to these cats and kittens once I get married and move out.I know that Shu doesn't want to leave Kecik (and Bedah the hamster) behind no matter where we go.

Speaking of Bedah,I decided to splurge some cash on her and got her some carrot cakes and bath salt.I feel sorry for her coz she's been all by herself for the longest time.But since hamsters can recognize their relatives,I figured she won't feel so alone nowadays.At least not anymore ^_^

Kecik,on the other hand,has a serious superiority complex.He refuses to sleep on the floor or any non-carpeted floor.His ultimate decisions would be my parent's bed or my tatami or maybe Qarim's bed or the sofa bed downstairs where he'd usually fight over which side to sleep on with Shu.

colored

Hahaha!I have a good mind to give that red streak a go.No perming,no rebonding.Just down right straight streaked!Hahaha!Very VERY emo-punk-ish!Me likey!

Getting your hair colored yourself can be really3 messy.My forehead is blue.Parts of my arms are blue.I stained the room floor and the sink.My fingers and fingernails and my ears are blue.Hahahahahaha!!!!! I'm blue dabadeedabadiedabadeedabadie..........

*sigh*

I am supposed to go get some stuff from the tailor but now that a lot of plans have changed,I have no idea if I am supposed to go.Shu insists that I alter the kain of the baju his mom had made for me.That and the kebaya top I got last weekend.It looks big-ish and kebaya nyonyas aren't supposed to be loose.

*double sigh*

anything but Muhammad Kelmo

I am so exhausted.Went over to the bus station in the morning coz Shu needed to get a ticket to go home for Hari Raya on Friday.With much deliberation,he finally decided to get one.We headed over to Putrajaya.Went to watch a movie at Alamanda.Then,we made reservations for buka puasa over at Rimba Klasik.To kill time,we headed over to Mines Shopping Mall.Walked around for a bit.Went to the game arcade.Then,we went looking for a pet store all over Bangi coz we needed to get cat litter.We ended up getting it at a pet store over in Uptown Damansara after buka.

As usual,we prayed maghrib over at the UNITEN library.Today wasn't so scary.There were other girls there at the surau so I didn't feel so alone ^_^ I need to do something about my gastric pains.It is getting from bad to worse.

Amcorp Mall,Aman Suria & One Utama

People tell me that it's ok for me to eat a little and put on a little more weight.Putting on weight is not the issue for me.It's the problem it brings later on.Aaina once said that putting on weight would mean that she'd get to shop for new clothes.Shopping is interesting but getting the perfect jeans is always,ALWAYS,ALWAYS a problem for me.To avoid having to go jeans hunting,I figured it is probably just safer to maintain my weight coz losing weight could also be a problem.Haha!

Mum and dad and Shu insisted that I get a kebaya coz I already have baju kurungs.The thing about baju kurungs is that they are very convenient to wear.Kebayas are more formal eventhough I am a sucker for Nyonya Kebayas.I got one whole set anyways.White with loads of beads so it falls nicely :)

Shu said he wants to help me color my hair one of these days.

I've been doing some thinking on the bands I want to have on my wedding day.The one band I really3 want to play live at my wedding would be my band but since I am the vocalist and that I shouldn't be performing at my reception,I figured I should find that old man who played the violin and keyboards over at Aunty Tipah's restaurant the other night.OR......I could let either Rashid or Ayie or Kamal sing :p I am not going to open up slots for other bands to play other than the ones I have in mind ^_^ Also,I already have a playlist in my head of the songs I want to be played throughout the function.

Stage@Mid Valley Megamall

Shu and I went out and since I couldn't really decide where to go,he drove us to Sunway Pyramid.Looking at the crowd and the number of cars going into the mall parking lot,we just had to bail.I couldn't think of where to go next so Shu decided to head over to Mid Valley Megamall coz the both of us haven't been there in a long while.

Shu was looking for a pair of jeans and I was still hunting for make up.We found a Stage outlet.I lurve that place.Although,my sister said that looking at the price I paid for the stuff I bought today,I might as well bought stuff at M.A.C..For some strange reason,I'd go for Bobbi Brown over M.A.C. inspite of the price difference.

Anywho,I got stuff from Stage and I'm happy with them ^_^

We went in and out of stores looking for Shu's jeans.We found some interesting looking ones but something about them did not make them the perfect pair so Shu changed his mind to buying a shirt instead.We finally made a stop at SEED and he found this shirt which we both agreed on.I could have sworn in was brownish in the shop but when we got home,I took another look at the shirt and it was grey-ish.Still,it's a really nice shirt ;)

low octane number=less cash needed

Initially,I was thinking of getting on with my Confessions of a Ma'mum Tarawikh but after the conversation we had during the drive to Subang Jaya a while ago,I'd rather just talk about the so called RON 95.What people don't know and most probably don't care and won't see is that the octane number of the fuel is low.That means the combustion process will not be as effective as fuel with higher Research Octane Number (such as the RON 97).

Yeah,it's cheap but it's low quality and in the long run,users would end up spending more than what they think they save from the fuel price coz a whole lot part of the fuel is not used up.Instead,it goes out to waste (through the exhaust system).You're definitely gonna need more fuel then.

Of course,normal cars (non high performance cars) can use the RON 95.But in the long run,it can cause knocking to the engine and the car would be underpowered.So,if you already drive an underpowered car,you're gonna need more fuel coz the RON 95 would not help giving more power to the engine.

Therefore,users of RON 95 really need to think about how much they love their cars (engines) in the long run coz unless you are prepared to get it overhauled,you'd better just be extra careful with what you feed your engines.

But guess what,the RON 95 is the major fuel used throughout the country.What better ways to live than to be the citizen of a country that literally rips off the rights of tax payers.Take a look around.Why do you think the roads break easily and there are potholes at almost every other kilometre of the road?And what exactly are you paying for when you purchase a "nasional" car?

Chanel@One Utama

I am so hooked to the eye shadow base and the make up base.It's so awesome!I am very picky with colors but make up bases (and eye shadow bases) are really neat things and very hard to find coz sometimes the brands I find irritates my skin and I can feel it on my skin which is so not good.

The jeans over at Original Fake looked awesome ;)

Anywho,I woke up to my cellphone ringing.Shu called me to tell me that my grandma got mugged at the traffic light near my house.It must have been noon-ish.In broad daylight.Indian guys.2 of 'em.They broke the car window on the passenger's side and took my grandma's bag and ran across the street to his bike and left.She lost about MYR6K.The window costs MYR350.It took the shop a long time to clean up every piece of glass in the car.

Shu and I realized that we really love cooking especially in the weekends ^_^ Mum usually hates it coz she won't be able to use her kitchen till we're done so the timing must be just right :p
