Assalamu'alaikum....

Go my hair done today... well, just a trim and slight highlights (just a few strands, no biggie) and cleaned-up my eyebrows a bit to give my eyes some definition (yeah right). KB and Sue haven't arrived yet, so I'm still waiting. Want to write more, but I'm just soooo tired from the late night and super early morning. So I'll just wait till later. Ciao!

Wassalam....

p/s : Thanks Wann for the nightie.... very sexy, ahaks ;) !

Assalamu'alaikum...

KB and Sue are coming today!!!! Yay!!!! I can't wait! I'm cooking up a storm right now because I'm going out early morn to get my medication, so I decided to start on some stuff early. I'm just soooo tired right now, but everything HAVE to be perfect for their visit. Yesterday Wann and I went to Target to get my new furnitures, and I spent today putting up things and getting out mattresses and other stuff like that. My body iss soooo ready to shut down right now, but I still haven't finished cooking yet. Great. Just fantastic. But anyway, I can't wait for mah gurlz to arrive, I miss them soooo much, it's insane. Now, if only I can get Ekin and dayang to get their butts here, too, now that would be fant-ass-tic :) .

Assalamu'alaikum...

AAARRGHHH!!!! I feel soooooo fat. This is all because of last semester. I ate like a piggy, didn't do enough exercise, couldn't find a way to release all the tension due to hard courses and piles of schoolwork.... and every other crap that happened. I hate it. And I've only lost around 8 pounds since last week. Ugh. Pathetic. Seriously, I can't wait till school starts and the gym is open full time again.

Oooppss... forgot to do something. BRB.

Assalamu'alaikum....

Ahaha... my birthday took about a day to really "ripen"... I had gotten a birthday call a couple of hours ago from Ayun, Ijat, my two seniors Dinna and K. Jannah, Hakam, Ella, Apoo, Rock and Chen... not personally from all of them, just a phone call and everyone was there. Got a birthday song from them, too. Everybody's so sweet. Ekin, mah gurl in USC, gave me an e-card (sho schweet cayang). And my bro gave me a birthday e-mail... and a testimonial. I might actually take up on his offer of ruining the lives of people I have a grudge on... I can name a few whom I want on the government's most wanted list.... bengkrap ke... ahahah... it's good to have a bro on the higher hierarchy of the civil service.

Just got back from watching "Shanghai Knights" on DVD with Wann... funny, funny movie....

Sue and KB, get your asses in Ann Arbor pronto babes! I miss you guys soooooo much! Can't wait till Wednesday.. la la la....

Jay Jay, miss you too...

My big bro (the single one, not the married one) recently became a Friendster user. He emailed me because he probably couldn't find me using the user search, especially since I changed my email and all. So I searched and added him instead. Hehehe... I left a nice LONG testimonial, hey, that's what sisters are for... especially since I'm his ONLY sis. Let's see if it gets approved......Hopefully he wouldn't find out about my online journal thingy. Oh wait, he does know about that. Damn.

I called my mom again yesterday, and she told me the funniest stories... and some not-so-good ones. Bad story first: my granny had breast cancer. Good thing the cancer cells didn't spread, so they were able to remove the lump completely. Still nothing is certain, so I'm still very, very scared. And since cancer is genetic... well, you can imagine how fidgety I am about my boobs nowadays. I tell ya, it's not a fun feeling at all. I'm only 21, but still, things can (and do) happen. I'm just praying that it won't.

After that, mummy yakked about a wedding she went on recently. The host put up 3 tents, but they were so many people, a lot of them didn't get seats. So there was my mom and her friend, with their plates of food, trying to find a place to sit, when they noticed a couple of empty spaces. She was just about to sit down, when this guy said that the seats were already taken. Mum asked by whom, he said his friends. She asked where they were, and he said they were taking their food. Then mum cheekily said "Well, I have mine" and proceeded to sit down and enjoy her food (knowing mum, all of that was done in a very soft, sophisticated, regal manner... my mom rocks). Precise conversation went like this (according to her, at least:

Guy: Eh, sori ye, ade orang dah duduk sini lah

Mum : Oh ye ke. Mane orangnye?

Guy : Tgh dalam line ambik food.

Mum : Eh I dah ade food (sits).

Wish I can pull off a stunt like that, ahaks. :)

Sorry Jen, too tired to think in complete English right now. Gile-gile hari nie, sgt2 bosan, bedey paling bosan dalam dunie. Hari nie buat ape? Nothin'. Lepak, lepak, bace buku, makan kat bilik org...... tuh ajek. Kan bagus kalau the days lepas Christmas tuh bukan weekend, buleh gie shopping naik bas. As it is, malas sgt mau kluar sebab bas mase weekend tersangat lah lambat, macam kure-kure. Bongek. Patutnye weekendlah buat bas byk. Sebab ramai nak kluar. Nak2 lagi lepas2 Christmas camnie. Of course I wanna go to the sales yang tgh tahap dewa byk kat malls. Darn it.

As it is, I spent the day bored, then waktu malam decided to be productive and amek microwave kat bilik Kirah. Langkah kanan sebab Kirah masak kuzi, sedap. Pastu Syeri plak masak nasik lemak, tapi sebab dah makan byk sgt, decided to bawak balik and makan tgh malam nanti bile for sure nye lapaq.

Arrghhh! Org lain sume Cuti-Cuti Malaysia..... kite kat sini Bosan bosan Ann Arbor! Nasib baik next week KB nak dtg ngan budak Purdue lain, rindu nye!!!!!!!

Alisa and Deera, thank you for the gift and card, sweet gile :) ....

Wassalam...

Assalamu'alaikum...

Heheh... today I finally turn legal, ain't life grand ... I'm so grateful to be able to see this day come, grateful for all the blessings that I've received and the journey that I've been... :) ....

Spent the day doing groceries at Jerusalem Market, then watched a Korean movie and "Love, Actually" with Fer and Parvina at Wann's room. As much as I want to elaborate in detail, I'm far too sleepy for it.

Oh, but before I go... I called home just now to talk to mum, but she wasn't in, so I got my nephew Ajiq instead. he's 2 years old, can barely talk, but he sang a birthday song for me just now, isn't that the cutest... and he cried when my sis-in-law tried to take the phone away from him. God knows how much I miss him and everyone at home.

Missing someone very, very much right now......

Wassalam.....

Assalamu'alaikum...

Okay, I played this song to death in my playlist for so long now, it's only fair that I share my love (?) for it with everyone. It's being overplayed in the radio anyway, so me putting it here wouldn't exactly matter so much! Haha.... Enjoy :)

Wassalam...

Assalamu'alaikum....

Christmas Eve! Ahaks :). I spent the whole of Monday and Tuesday shopping, reading, watching Lord of The Rings ( Which I really do like, by the way, though it seems weird that Aragorn didn't die in the end, since the book said otherwise ). I shoped at Borders, despite the people picketing outside (it's been well over a month ), bought myself a few books to read during those boring days, or at least boring hours. Then I headed on to the UgLi and borrowed another 2 books..... Salman Rushdie's "Fury" (better read some of his stuff here, since it's totally banned in Malaysia... I think) and "Ilium", a (somewhat) translation (maybe) of "Iliad". Haven't started reading that one, so I can't really comment yet.

My room still looks like a wrecking ball just had it's merry way with it.... especially since I haven't gotten around to cleaning up my place. Hey, on both Monday and Tuesday, I woke up at 11, went out at 12, and come back home only waaaaaaaay after 11 o'clock (well, 9 for Tuesday). And after that, I was so pooped out from all the shopping and money spending ( Dad's gonna scream his head off when he sees the credit card statement.... oh wait, i didn't use his card! Hah! I am a good daughter), I couldn't do much of anything except change clothes and go to bed.... after watching TV, of course.

And watched TV I did... after all, last night was Tuesday night. My TV night. I missed "Gilmore Girls", sadly, but I managed to catch "One Tree Hill". Chad Michael Murray is so HOT! Heheh... I had a huge crush on him when he was Tristan in "Gilmore Girls", not so when he was Lone Ranger, and then back again when he became Lucas Scott, heartthrob of Tree Hill. Cool :). I never really go for blond guys, the only other two blonds I really liked was Ronan Keating of Boyzone (oh, the simpler days of Brit-pop) and an ex-classmate I went out with a couple of times.

What's my plan for Christmas Eve? Well, I still have to call Jen and Tina, and wish them a happy and merry Christmas :). And after that.... just rel;axing with my bounty from previous days shopping. I got a new quilt, which was originally 80 bucks but I got it for 30 (snap! ). I LOVE the quilt. It's pink (figures) and green and it's absolutely beautiful. I also got pink shams to match ( 100% Egyptian cotton, 250 thread count that was priced for 27.99 but I got for 5 bucks ), and I slept like a baby with a silver spoon stuck in her mouth (?).

Okay, I need to go and paste some stuff, my posters aren't up yet :). Later!

Wassalam...

p/s: to all of my Christian friends... Merry Christmas :)!

Assalamu'alaikum....

It's been a long time since I've updated this journal of mine. First there was the exams, then me moving out of my old room into my new one. So now I'm a resident of Eaton House, room 4105. My new room left a lot to be desired, though, because there's no book shelf for me to put my books. That totally threw me off, since I do have a lot of books (accumulated throughout the 3 years), and now my books are laying on the floor inside their respective boxes. Definitely not cool. Oh, btw, Jen, if you're reading this, see, I'm writing totally in English. See how much I love you? Hope you're having anawesome holiday.

As for me, I'm stuck here in Ann Arbor. Actually, it's a good thing. So many things have happened, I think I do need the time to get myself centered and free-up my head to prepare for the new term. Last term , everything was rush-rush. I rushed to settle stuff, rushed to push feelings away so that I can focus, rushed
to force myself to be okay about things when in actuality I didn't feel okay. Rushed to be normal for everyone else's sake except mine. Rush rush rush....

Okay, let me backtrack a bit so you'll get an idea of what I've been upto since the end of finals. On Friday, with the help of kak Deng, Fer and Azwan, I moved into my new room. Can you imagin how tiring that was, I only had 3 hours to clear out of my room, good thing Kak Deng was there the whole time, and that Wann and I did one load of stuff before hand, and that Azwan and Fer was there to move my ever-loving couch. Thank you thank you thank you :) . But still, my arms, back and feet ached like crazy after that. Actually, they're still sore, but I'm all in all okay :). Oritey, so on Saturday, I managed to sort out my clothes, and then Kak Deng brought me, Alisa, Dayang and Diba out to watch Mona Lisa Smile. Good movie, stellar cast, love it. I wwouldn't call it a chick flick, more like a flick filled with chicks, hahaha (there is a difference). I love the message in it, it's so empowering. Makes me feel like I can be whatever I want to be, and I don't have to give a damn what anybody says.

Today, more cleaning up was done. So I managed to store away half of my stuff, but I'm just so lost without a book shelf. Oh well. When life gives you lemons, make lemonade. Which is why used that big box of books to make pressed flowers, heheh. Hey, I have two weeks to make my room not only livable, but reflects me and MY personality. A task more arduous than I imagined, but I shall prevail, I kid you not.

Tomorrow is a brand new day. I'm thinking about spending it on Central Campus and find something to send back to my mom. Seems like the birthdy card i sent shortly after I send the Eid card didn't arrive, so since I've screwed up anyway, might as well try to find mummy dearest a nice present too. I miss home so much.

I've had the craziest idea of touring Europe.... alone. A friend of mine did it, I'm sure it wasn't that bad. I remember touring by bus when I was smaller. Okay, I'm not exactly a fan of getting around by bus, but I admit the trip was pretty fun (I was with my parents). I love going to places with rides and stuff like that, but I haven't had any cultural experience for well over two years, and I can barely remember the places that I went when I was small. I wouldn't mind touring with friends, of course, but somehow I don't think anyone would wanna do the stuff that I want to.... boring stuff like going to museums and look at paintings and sculptures, visit cathedrals, old monuments, gardens.... I love Ann Arbor, but aside from the Museum of Modern Art at Central, everything else are so inacessible. Oh well... My parents would prbably have a fit if i tell them i want to travel alone, but a tour with an agency seems safe enough, so we'll see :) .

Okay, I need to map out my central trip for tomorrow, so ciao peeps!

AAACCKKK!!! Exam maths at 4 o'clock, apsal lah buat time tuh, I wanna go to EECS 281 review. :( !!! Aaaaa... mummy!!!! Kuang hajo lah schedule camtuh. Anyway, semalam tidoq lambat, tapi set jam nak bangun kinda awal, so anyway, tadi alarm clock kejutkan subuh, pastu set balik soh kejut kol 9. Bile die bunyik kol 9, tersalah tengok jam ingatkan kol seblas (jauh beze tuh). Bangun2 dah heart attack dah, cepat-cepat turun katil.... and jatuh gedebuk atas lantai. Apsal camtuh? Sebab kaki tak bangun lagi, gerak laju sgt, alih-alih die takleh support. Pagi-pagi dah jatuh. Nasib baik pandang comp and perasan, ooo.. baru 9.15 rupenye.

Bangun pepagi ingatkan buleh ler study lebey2 sket... hampeh, habuk pun tak masuk. Ngehehe... so nie tengah take a break and tgk list people not in my contact list, but have me in theirs. Ade lah jugak quite a few, mase tgh dok2 ponder "pas exam nak kene clean-up msn, kene delete contacts yg tak....", tetibe perasan satu email me yang kinda vaguely familiar lah jugak. Pastu it hits me. Ish, org nie tak patut have me dalam die punye contact pun, actually. So selepas setahun tak memblock org secare permanent, I broke my rule and move the address to my "blocked messages" kotak. Childish? Maybe. Stupid? Hell yeah. Puas hati tak pastu? Definitely. Heheh. Diabolical minds works in twisted ways.

Okay, break's over, time to hit the books/papers again... wish me luck peeps!

Even though my birthday isn't until another two weeks, tonite I got a birthday dinner and a present from Jen. Austrian crystal brooch in the shape of two birds... I like :) . Love it, in fact. Thank you Jay Jay, hahaha :) . Make sure you check your mailbox while you're at home, there might be something there for you ;) .

Anyways, tomolo is my math exam, then EECS281 exam on Tuesday, and then I'm DONE baby! Oh man, can't wait for the torture to be over. A toast, to a (hopefully) awesome upcoming holiday and an incredible winter semester....

Wassalam...

Assalamu'alaikum...

Oh, I so can't wait till the exams are over! Even though I have no definite plans for the upcoming winter vacation, but it'll just be good for me to stay put, gather my thoughts and get some time to prepare for the next semester :) . Plus, there are a few stuff that I wanna do that I can't start till i finish the exams.. like shopping for a new LCD computer monitor, new hard-drive, new PDA, maybe a new jewellery or two... heheh. No vacay for me equals to more money to spend. Oh, and the new portrait that I'm gonna get when I turn 21. That's right, people, I'll be 21 on the 27th of this month!! Can't wait. My mom had this thing of taking her pic every year on her birthday, I might just do that this year (if it's not too expensive). There's so many things that I want to get before the upcoming semster, hopefully I'll have money for them:-
1. Brand new hard-drive
My comp is currently in the ice-age mode. I've been itching to get a new HD for so long, but never got around to doing it. Now that I have to have new software installed, I HAVE to get one.

2. LCD comp monitor
I wanna get rid of my old comp table, it's black, ugly, and a bitch to lug around. Plus, my old monitor is about as big as mini TV, which is also a pain to carry.

3. Wireless EVERYTHING
Keyboard, mouse, and that new laptop I've had my eyes on since the beginning of the semester, and a PDA. Okay, we'll start with the keyboard and mouse first, then PDA, then the laptop. Still can't decide between the Palm and the Sony (for the PDA)

4. Tag Heuer watch
Wow-weeee.... hehehe... I have a Rolex that mum bought for me, but I want a Tag. Like really.

5. Silhouette sunglases
The COOLEST frames ever made!


Waahhh... kalau nak list byk lagi mende2 yang nak.... semue yang jenis ikut nafsu, bukan kemampuan punye barang.

Okay, me need to sleep, big day of studyin' tomolo. Au revoir!

Wassalam...

Heheh... phone bunyik, be right back.

ARGH!!!!! What ever made me think I have what it takes to be a programmer?? This last program is giving me sleepless nights, and not the good kind, either. I'm totally trippin' and bent out of shape. Sheesh. Right now I'm officially closing the book on my program 'cause I need to get working on my French project (last one, too).

Okay, here's a cute website that Sareque and her "man" went that's kinda cute (your "man", Sareque? Never thought I'd see the day you would write that ). Click here to get your Elvish and Hobbit names. What are those, you ask. Aaahh... enter the realm and discover... crap, I sound like such a dork. Just click on the damn thing and go, okay? If you don't wanna, so? Tak pegi pun takpe. Anyway, my Elvish name is Silmarwen Elanessëm ( cool!) , and my hobbit name is Peony Hardbottle (ermm.. okay). What's yours? Put yours in the Shoutbox :), I can bet some of us would have the same name.

What's in my playlist right now? Nickelback's "Someday", Clay Aiken's "Measure of a Man" and B2K's "Gots Ta Be". Kesian my neighbor because I keep blaring the computer at ungodly hours. Whoopsie. Hehehe....

Okay, nak kene work on my Djisktra (did I spell that right?) algo and then French. Ciao peeps!

Wassalam...

Assalamu'alaikum....

Totally forgot, anybody who hasn't, and if you visit this site often, please pin yourself on the guestmap :). the button is located on the left side of the window, under the "About Me" section. It's cute, try it. Just pick a place, pin yourself, and leave me a message. It's easy, doesn't take a long time... and I'm beginning to sound like an infomercial. Figures. Oh well, moving on...

This song is so, so beautiful... I love it so much, the lyrics is so haunting, though it makes me feel that as a girl, I might be asking too much. Heheh. Enjoy this song as much as I do :) .

"Measure Of A Man"

If one day you discover him
Broken down he's lost everything
No cars, no fancy clothes to make him who he's not
The woman at his side is all that he has got
Why do you ask him move heaven and earth
To prove his love has worth?

Would he walk on water
Would he run through fire
Would he stand before you
When it is down to the wire
Would he give his life up
To be all he can
Is that, is that, is that how you measure a man?

If by chance all he had to give you
Was three words wrapped around your finger
Would that be deep enough at the end of every day
And how will you ever know
If a man is what he says?

Why do you ask him to move heaven and earth
To prove his love has worth
Would he walk on water
Would he run through fire
Would he stand before you
When its down to the wire
Would he give his life up to be all he can
Is that, is that, is that how you measure a man?

He never gives up
Lets go of his dream
His world goes around for his one true belief
Is that how you know
Is that what it means?

Would he walk on water
Would he run through fire
Would he stand before you
Would he will be your anchor when the dark unfolds
Would he always love you the best that he knows?

Would he give his life up
To be all that he can
Is that, is that, is that how you measure a man?

Would he walk on water
Would he run through fire
Would he stand before you
When it is down to the wire
Would he give his life up
To be all he can

Is that, is that, is that, how you measure oh...

Is that, is that, is that, how your measure a man?

So how does one measure a man?

Assalamu'alaikum...
Ahaks! Finally a shoutbox that I like, hehehe. Like this one, easy, multi-lingual, nak load pun tak susah. Keskes.... me happy.

Anyway, my French oral went so and so. Nak kate teruk sgt, tak jugak, but it wasn't that bad. I was very, very happy when my GSI said that my French "flows" and that I have a nice accent. Heheheheh... bangge bangge (ye lah tuh). Anyway, I liked French so much I might even consider taking it during the summer, but we'll see :) .

Today I feel a bit better in spite of not taking Sudafed or the likes. Nasib baik, sebab hari nie nak kene pulun wat program (or pro-geram ). Aiyok. Tak best. Bilik tgh macam kandang kambing, me need to pack up because I'm moving. Yes, I am moving to Eaton House, nombor bilik TBA (actually dah tau dah but I'm not gonna say it here, hehehe... carik lah stalkers.com, otherwise known as the Umich directory ).

Hari nie setat pose enam, so nak gie masak. Bubbye!

Wassalam....

p/s: oh, me like this song a lot. Clay Aiken is so lovable.

Assalamu'alaikum...
AAARGGHHH!!!! Demam demam! Can this week get any worse? Tuh lah, happy sangat last week, kan dah, payback time. Anyway, today I am so darn sick I don't dare nak gie outside in case I infect anybody else. There's no medicine in the house, too. Damn, I'm usuallu very meticulous about taking vitamin C every day, still I get sick. Dah lah ingat kan nak get my flu shot hari nie, you can't get the shot if you already have the flu! Crappy crappy... on top of it all, my voice is going yet I have my oh-so-lovable French oral tomorrow. Great. Just great. Program pun tak siap lagik. Due next week. Part 1, my part, my easy-peasy part, is turning out to be a real biatch. Aaaarrrgghhh!!!! My cortisol level is rising, because tense = fat beyond reason. Ah shit.

Okay, enough with the rambling. Last weekend, on Thursday, we had our Eid-Thanksgiving celebration. Long story cut short, good food, great time. Ahaks. Long story version: where do I start? Nizam had his open house on Wednesday, a whole bunch of people came. The next day was a whole day of cooking food in preparation for the big event. Big whoop. Big mess. Big smell (?). Anyways, we had satay, rendang, a whole bunch of dishes with "kambing" in them (ever heard of kari kambing, kambing black pepper, kambing sup, kambing amende-ntah-lagik all in one event? ), nasi impit , kuah kacang, bihun goreng, desserts and a whole bunch of other stuff that I can't remember. Then there was the performance part. Go to Wolverine Malaya webbie to get more scoop on that. Hehehe. I'm not gonna elaborate. After that, tengok Cinta Kolesterol, with Yusry and Mrs. Yusry, or if you think it the other way, Erra and Mr. Erra.

Oh, btw, Yanie cayang, aku dah balik bilik dah (as in bilik sendiri), so call me there, okay? Tinggal mesej kat Friendster tak berjawab, amek ko, aku letak kat blogger.

Love, love, LOVE the piggie on my desk! :) Thanks Jen, muaks!

Okay, I have a headache right now. TTYL!

Sorry lah tagboard tuh lambat nak load, still looking for a new perfect one. Anyway, SELAMAT HARI RAYA!!!! Today is the first day of raya in Michigan. Nak amek kesempatan kat sini nak cakap Maaf Zahir Batin from hujung rambut sampai lah hujung kaki, sape tak hantar duit raya lagi tuh bak mai sini, hehehe. Anyway, hope sume orang ade a good raye, and sape rajin check out my raya message kat Utusan by clicking
here . Heheh... pelik, why is it yang die siap letak alamat lagi, even though I didn't give it.... until I remembered yang my hotmail account mmg ade automatic signature kat bawah. Ah shit. Men-ca-pub.
Hari nie sgt2 sejuk, tapi tak pedulik, pakai jugak baju kurung pegi classes. Tahan je lah. Sedih sikit sebab rindu rumah and I missed some of my friends, two especially. Not a bad kind of sedih, a good one. I wasn't really feeling sorry for myself, more like teringat the good times that we had and knowing that I'll miss them, and it doesn't have to be a bad thing.
Anyway, I still haven't decided nak pegi Purdue ke tak for Thanksgiving/Eid. Maybe I will :) .

Sile lah datang site memorial untuk arwah Nanim, by clicking here .

Right now I'm currently at the Fishbowl (a computing site), tgh tunggu Dennis datang so boleh start bincang EECS 281 punye project plan. Before that, I went to my math professor's office hour sebab homework yang baru die kasi tuh haram jadah tak reti nak buat, heheh. Kate dah miss kelas seminggu, that racks up to 3 hours. Banyak tuh, material dah lah susah-susah. But I notice that he's being extra nice to me and siap boleh kasik jawapan soalan, alhamdulillah, takdelah pening sangat kepale nie.

I've never been the most obedient child. Slalu je degil takmoh dengar cakap bapak (cakap mak dengar lagik, entah, double standard kejap). Bapak suruh jadi doktor, tak nak sebab tak nak duduk matriks lame2, nak gie overseas. The only thing that I did listen to him was that to involve myself in the computing area. Know what, I wish I had listened to everything my daddy said, sebab ikut cakap parents nie banyak berkat nye. Sebagai contoh, my courses, susah camane pun, kambing cmane pun results, bile sampai at the end of the term, belum lagi lah nak dapat C or worse. Alhamdulillah sgt2. And sekarang nie, bile situation yang buat kepale tak menentu nie jadi, things are still within my control lah jugak, and tetibe banyak lah pulak "kelapangan" yang wujud (macam prof kasi jawapan tuh). Made me wonder, ntah2 kalau ikut cakap bapak jadi doktoir hari tuh, I might have breezed through everything nice and well, hehehe. Then again, kalau jadik doktor, takdelah kesempatan nak kenal arwah Teh ngan arwah Nanim. I wouldn't trade their friendship for anything in the world.

Due tige hari nie, both of my inboxes kene flood dengan takziah emails. Terime kasih Farah ucapkan. Some messages siap share their own experiences jugak, ade people yang went through worse experiences than I did, I wonder where they got the stregth nak keep moving on. But now, I have a problem. I can't reply to all (at least not now) sebab I'm struggling nak catch up with stuff, but I feel bad about deleting emails sebab people took time from their day nak write those, so I need to at least reply cakap thanks and then delete. But if I don't delete, my inbox takleh nak masuk new emails (average sekarang nie is about 10 or more emails per hour). Haru lah pulak. So to people reading this and have sent me condolences emails, thank you so much, I'll try to get on replying everything ASAP.

Know what, I've been getting emails from perfect strangers yang felt for my pain and loss as well as for those of the families and UMIMSA students..... so many emails, and a few phone calls. A lot of people try nak contact me, all except one. One person who surprised me beyond reason sebab tak dengar kabar berite langsung. Takkan lah nak tunggu sampai I sendiri yang accident baru u nak contact :( .I do not ask for your pity, or even your compassion, tapi entahlah, when u didn't contact me at all, I was a little hurt. Sebab maybe if the situation is reversed, and you were in my place, I would've tried to contact you and made sure you were okay. Then again, that's just me (and the rest of humankind).

There, I got that out of my system. Pikir-pikir balik, biarlah. Besides, I'm not alone, I always have Allah guiding me through life, giving me the greatest love of all. I have my loving family, my selfless and compassionate friends, and I have the whole of Malaysia reading what I wrote about both arwah, and I hope I've managed to touch other people they way both of them did when they were alive, more so after they died (I mean this in a good way tau, jgn interpret yang bukan-bukan yerr..). I have professors and colleagues who understand, and most of all, I have memories of arwah Teh and Nanim and the lessons I've learned from them to bring with me until they day that I myself pass away. What more can a person ask for?

During these last days of Ramadan, Farah nak ucapkan Selamat Menyambut Hari Raya, Maaf Zahir Batin to semua orang, tak kisah lah kenal or tak kenal, kalau Farah ade ter cakap, terbuat salah silap, maaf kan ye. To err is human, to forgive divine. Haa.. especially mende yang terambik, termakan, terminum, halalkan lah. Last days of ramadan nie banyak berkat die, tak advantage of it :) (advice for me, too, tak sangke Ramadan dah nak habis). May all of us have a blessed life, filled with hope, joy and laughter.

Wassalam ........

Assalamu'alaikum...
Balik bilik kejap nak solat. Baru lepas check email, tak sampai 1 hr lepas the last time check, dah ade 26 yang baru. Erk. At this rate, habeslah my inbox. Errmm.... I honestly appreciate the thought, tapi unfortunately tak larat nak balas all the emails that I got, sorry yer. But thank you so much for your thoughts and concern, Allah je yang dapat balas.
Wassalam....

Assalamu'alaikum...
Sekarang nie I have about 10 minutes before my French class starts. Saje je amek peluang carik comp and jot down some thoughts. First of all, thank you to those yang hantar emails to me ucapkan takziah for me and the Umich students, insyaAllah Farah try nak convey kan dekat sume orang. Mule-mule tuh surprised jugak, and then baru tau yang my story circulated ikut email rupenye. I think I've managed to make half of Malaysia cry, alamak, sori yer. But I'm touched that so many people took the time nak bace the extremely long blog entry, and then email me to show support. Alhamdulillah, it just shows that no matter where you are, Malaysians and Muslims always stand together. Memang shows the true meaning of being brothers and sisters.
It's been a week lebih since the accident. Kadang-kadang tuh rase time flew by, other times rase macam "it's only been a week?". But what everyone kat sini (girls especially) would agree is that semue orang tgh frantic nak catch up missed lessons, missed homeworks and yang paling tak best, missed exams. I myself did a make-up exam semalam, baru tadi dapat result (result macam kambing by the way). Aiseh... time-time depressed pasal academics stuff tuh yang teringat arwah Nanim sebab die sgt-sgt pandai, slalu jugak lah kacau die tanye stuff (unfortunately kitorang lain majors, so courses pun takdelah overlap sangat). Baru-baru nie start study kat Eaton Lounge dengan the rest of the Malaysians. Time-time camnie lah rasenye nak really surround yourself with people, kalau tak rase suffocated sangat nak go through freaking out pasal studies sorang-sorang.
Oh ye tak ye, lupe, to my friends who tried to call me, so sorry, sekarang mmg tak lekat bilik dah, dah 3 malam tido bilik Deera. Sekarang nie idop macam orang nomad, so sesape nak contact, boleh lah carik contact info cik Nazatul (Nazutal? heheh) kite yang tidak akan di publicize kat sini. Time kaceh.
Wassalam...(dah kene gie kelas dah)

Assalamu'alaikum...
Sorilah kinda lame tak update, banyak sikit stuff nak kene buat. On Friday, I started going to one of my classes again. Cuak jugak sebab the prof dah kasi answer key kat hw yang I haven't submitted yet, but alhamdulillah, die understanding sgt and said I can pass it up whenever. Jumaat tuh, banyak mende "interesting" happened to me, tapi malas lah nak elaborate kat sini, stupid-stupid stuff jek (all I can say is, I suck at watching horror movies sebab tido separuh movie celik separuh ).

Anyway, on Saturday, Islamic Center ade buat donation drive for arwah Teh ngan Nanim. It was weird actuallynye, takut pun ade, nak cross jalan tempat accident tuh jadik, mase kitorang kene berenti kejap kat tgh2 jalan nak tgk kerete pass, nasib baik tak freak out kat situ, rase nak patah balik pun ade. Alhamdulillah lah, everything went fine, and I didn't have to cross again mase balik tuh sebab balik naik kete Kak Deng.

Sampai kat Islamic Center, masing-masing duduk waiting for bukak pose, then solat maghrib, iftar, after that, lebey kurang 6.30 camtuh, baru lah event start. Bashir ngan Kirah (on my behalf) kasi speech pasal arwah Teh ngan Nanim. Mase dengar speech, dah sebak dah, and bile Kirah said the words that I wrote, at the end tuh mengalir lah jugak air mate. I wondered if my written speech was appropriate or not sebab Farah takdelah elaborate on diorang punye background, or acheivements, tapi more to what they meant to me, how I saw them. I hope everyone else managed to relate to it jugak.
Balik tuh, Kak Deng bawak gie jalan2 jap, gie kedai Cina and Wal-Mart (I needed some stuff). Last-last tak beli pun (microwave, periuk nasik), tunggulah dah survey habes nanti. Balik from kedai, we had one last tahlil for both arwah, alhamdulillah almost all girls lah jugak yang ade, even the ones yang duduk kat central. Mase nie, rase appreciative sgt for my friends, and I'm proud of the way that all of us stood by each other, regardless of personal feelings or personal comfort.

Hari nie ade iftar again kat rumah Sumaiyah, and next week rasenye Engineering department nak buat a bunch of other memorials jugak ( hopefully larat nak fill all, tanak lah miss sebab memorial nie untuk us to mourn jugak), and I emailed Lisa gitau yang I liked the idea nak tanam pokok to remember them by. Sekarang nie tgh try nak find out whether appropriate ke tak idea tuh actuallynye dalam konteks Islam, but kalau takde masalah, then I hope the idea flies with the Engin department and adelah pokok baru kat Umich nie.

Okay, I have to go now. Assalamu'alaikum to all :) , and thank you so much for everything.

Wassalam.

PESANAN IBU ARWAH TEH NANNIE

Assalamu'alaikum....
Kemarin, Kirah and I kene call parents arwah Nanim and arwah Teh respectively sebab nak dapatkan pesanan pasal barang ( ape yang nak hantar balik, ape yang nak sedekah, ape yang kasi kawan ). Since Farah yang cakap dengan mak arwah Teh, makcik Naziah mintak pesan kat semua orang yang kenal Teh. Makcik cakap, makcik mintak maaf on behalf on arwah, kalau ade orang yang pernah terase or kecik ati dengan arwah, makcik mintak maafkan lah salah silap arwah. Farah tukang sampai kan pesanan nie, hopefully ikut blogger nie, hopefully ade lah orang yang bace and tolong sebarkan kat orang lain. Farah usahakan jugak nak hantar emails to universities in US yang Farah tau ramai kawan due2 arwah, tapi sape yang bace nie, tolong2 lah sebarkan jugak ye.

Satu lagi, ex-UMIMSA members ade set-up kan tabung/derma untuk both families. Kalau ade organization/individu yang terase nak derma to them, rasenye boleh lah contact mane2 UMIMSA members and insyaAllah kitorang try to get you to the proper channels. In my previous posting, ade my own emails, and dekat belah kanan of this site pun, I put a link to my emails and AOL. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Tadi ade memorial for both of them dekat MSE building, dekat Podbielniak Lounge. Mostly ramai MSE students, sebab EECS dah buat memorial hari tuh. Me, Dayang and Alisa arrived lambat sket, derang dah start dah, but kitorang sempat the session yang nak expresskan personal thoughts. Mule-mule takut jugak nak cakap pape, tapi bile Dayang start dulu, it kind of give me the strength jugak nak express personal thoughts mase tuh. Admittedly dekat nak last-last of my speech , dah sebak gile dah, so kene stop sebab takut nangis. I think I accidentally made orang lain sebak jugak, sebab dengar snifflings mase tuh. Aiseh, sorilah people.

Sekarang nie dekat bilik, alhamdulillah takat nie okay lagik, semalam tido bilik jugak, Dayang dengan Diba temankan (masak sambal tumis kol 12.30 malam sebab nak buat sahur, power gile). Now nie nak gie solat asar and carik food bukak pose, so nanti Farah tulis lagi.

Wassalam.

Assalamu'alaikum to all....

As I am writing this, a lot of the Malaysians and the Muslim people of Ann Arbor are right now at the Muehlig Funeral Home (403 S. Fourth Avenue Ann Arbor, MI). Maybe I should backtrack a little before, but before moving on, I would like to thank those of you who had message, emailed and even called during this difficult time. Thank you for the emails from Lock, Soon Sim, Kun Yun, Ekin, Yanie and Ammar USC, I'm writing this here because I'm not sure whether I've replied to your mails or not, so sorry if you guys were worried or anything of the such. Thank you, too, to those who left messages in my Friendster mailbox, messages at my MSN messenger (I was almost never in my room, so I couldn't reply to them). A few people mentioned to me that since I changed my email address, some people couldn't contact me. Anyway, my new (not exactly new, but newer) email add is farahfaisal82@hotmail.com, and my Umich address is faisalf@umich.edu . Sorry for the confusion.

Here I will try as best as I can to give a recount of what happened that night and after, since some people are still asking me about it. So here goes:

On Sunday, 9th November 2003, arwah Teh and I decided to have iftar at the masjid, and arwah Nanim came with us, as always the case. We went there by bus, had our iftar and did our Maghrib prayers there. After iftar, they decided to go back home to study and do their homeworks. I didn't go along because Deera and I had a review session to go to at 7 pm. So after saying our goodbyes, they headed out of the mosque. Not 10 minutes after that, Alisa and Dayang came running in and told us that both arwah Teh and arwah Nanim were hit by a car. Deera and I gathered our things and ran out. I was shocked to see a red pick-up truck in the middle of the road, and by then a crowd had already gathered around them. None of the Malaysian girls went near enough to see exactly what was happening, and no one saw the accident happen. All that any of us really know about the accident was that there was a loud bang, similar to the sound made when a tire explodes. I think all of us were standing there for a good 10 minutes before the paramedic came to take them away to the hospital.

I and few other girls who were there went with brother Abdullah to the hospital, while a few other male students followed suit in Hakam's car. At the hospital, we were greeted by a social worker, who had us ushered into a waiting room and told us that both girls were "in a critical, critical, critical condition". By then I think all of us were hoping and praying with all our strength that they would still come out fine. Not long after the social worker have gone two doctors came into the room and informed us that unfortunately, both girls have died.

By the, the atmosphere in the room was very heavy with emotions. I myself was crying uncontrollably into Dayang's arms. Alisa and Deera were hugging each other, with the boys looked stricken. Everything was a big blur from that point on, but from what I can remember about what the doctor said was that they never got a heartbeat even at the scene of the accident. It was mainly the impact and trauma that were the cause of death of both of them. The doctors also mentioned what kind of physical injuries they sustained, but I wasn't totally listening, so I can give out accurate details about that.

After that, the social worker asked for someone who knew them really well to come in and identify the bodies. I volunteered, and Dayang came with me at my request (I think everyone was pretty apprehensive about letting me go by myself, too). I can say honestly say that it was the longest and most difficult walk in my life. They took us through a corridor, where both bodies were placed in separate rooms at the end of the hall. Before going in, the social worker told me that arwah Teh might not look exactly as how I remembered her, that there may be tubings and such still attached to her face and body. My biggest fear was that if the injuries were so great, I wouldn't be able to recognize her anymore. I prayed to Allah and held Dayang's hand as the social worker opened the door to her room.

Alhamdulillah, my fear was unfounded. There were tubings on her arms and scratches on her face and body. But other than that, I thought she looked exactly the same as the sleeping Teh I remembered. Except I reminded myself that she's not just sleeping, she has really gone and left me and the rest of us. Brother Abdullah, who was also with us, recited the Al-Fatihah, and told me (since I requested to touch the body) to hold arwah's Teh's forehead and recite the Al-Fatihah. After doing that, I kissed Teh's forehead (in case I wouldn't be able to do it after this) and left the room. By then, I think both Dayang and I were pretty shaken.

The social worker then told us that I don't have to go in to the next room to look at arwah Nanim, since I've already identified arwah Teh's body, but all of us went in anyway to recite the Al-Fatihah and doe'. It was really, really hard to kiss my friends goodbye and know that I'll never be able to hear their laughter again, or see their faces or do the things you do with your best friends.

After I identified the bodies, the social worker informed us that there might be an autopsy since this is, technically, a criminal investigation. Both I and Ijat requested to have the autopsy waived because of religious reasons, which, according to the social worker, have never been waived before. By then, the corridor was filled with UMIMSA students, all with somber expressions on their faces upon hearing the news. I think everyone was deeply affected as we have a very close-knit community, and everyone knew the girls well.

We had to stay there at the hospital for about another two hours to finish the paperwork needed. All I want to say here is, people, please please PLEASE leave your case of emergency number with at least 2 or 3 people. The hospitals needed tons of information that night, not all which we had. But Alhamdulillah, everything that we could do, we managed to settle. Kak Deng commended the UMIMSA students for being so efficient and being able to handle the situation well, especially since all of us are so young and this is probably the first time a lot of us were faced with a situation like this. After the paperwork was done, all of us headed home, I'm sure all us were dealing with our own thoughts and feelings at that time.

That night, UMIMSA held two tahlil's, one for the girls and one for the guys. Later, I think no one really got much sleep. Almost all the girls here camped out at Ayun's room, me included. It was just a time that all of us needed each other's support. Eeryone was still trying to come to terms that it really happened, that we just lost two of our friends.

The next day was kind of a blur for me, too. The University held meetings with counselors not just for the people who had close connections with both arwahs, but for people who wanted to know more about what took place that night and how the tragedy occured. Everyone was showing their support, trying to help as much as they can. Early that day, three representatives from CMU arrived in Michigan (Usamah, Lynn and Lan) along with Kak Ros, the representative from MARA. I was deeply touched that they came all the way from where they originally were, especially since the students had to go back that very night, but they came anyway. Later that night, the University held an iftar for us at Pierpont Commons. Aside from the Malaysian students, the university people, and our officials (Kak Ros, Auntie Maharom and Uncle Azizan), there were also students from the Muslim Students Association. Again, the girls held a tahlil for the arwahs.

Today, I woke up to Ayun telling me that the funeral home (where the bodies were transferred to from the hospital) were letting people come and see the jenazahs from 11.00 am to 11.15 am. I got up, got ready, and along with Dayang, went to my room to settle some stuff. Two cars went to the funeral home, and it turn out they weren't finished with the preparation of the jenazahs yet. We only managed to see them around 12.50 pm. It was nerve wrecking, unnerving, ...... I’m still at lost for words to say to describe the experience. The jenazahs were placed in the basement, and we had to go down a long flight of stairs to get to them. The sweet smell was really overwhelming, I was holding on to Dayang's hand for dear life as we descended down the stairs. In a way, I think that already seeing them at the hospital made it easier for Dayang and me to actually do this. The sisters who bathed them then arranged the kafan cloths and revealed their faces, which were so peaceful and obviously filled with Nur that while I was still feeling a myriad of emotions, I immediately felt calm enough to realize that they are in a better place now, and that they are happy. The sisters conveyed that it was very easy to bathe them, that they were flexible, they had beautiful, delicate bodies and faces and it was definitely an indication that both arwahs were very good, God-fearing sisters. We recited the Al-Fatihah and 3 Quls, and I gave them each a kiss one last time and said my final goodbye.

The jenazahs were then brought to the Islamic Center for the jenazah prayer at 1.40 pm. I think the bulk, if not all, of the Muslim community turned out for it, and it was so gratifying to see it, arwah Teh and Nanim be very, very happy for that. Alhamdulillah, everything went well. After that, the funeral home gave the opportunity for members of the community to say their goodbyes. I and the few girls who went earlier didn't go because we wanted to give a chance to other people to say goodbye, but those who went said that both jenazahs really, really looked peaceful.

As I'm writing right now, we are setting up to have another tahlil for them and later, the girls are going to go and start cleaning up their room and take care of their personal affects.

I really have to stop now, but I'll be back later with more details, if any. Thank you for reading.

Wassalam.

Assalamu'alaikum....

I think by now, a lot of people dah dengar berite. Tanggal 9 November, 2003 .... I can say, without a doubt, the worst day of my life by far. Sampai sekarang, bende tuh seem unreal to me. What do you do, what do you say when you've just lost two of your closest friends in one single swoop?

To sesape yang tak tau lagi, semalam, lebih kurang jam 6.15 petang, Allahyarhamah Teh Nannie Roshema Roslan dan Allahyarhamah Norhananim Zainol baru saje pulang ke rahmatullah selepas dilanggar kereta di depan masjid (Innalillahiwainnailaihi rajiun) . Mase tuh diorang baru pulang from iftar, bile entah camane entah, a red pick-up truck langgar diorag mase tgh lintas jalan. Jalan tuh memang sedia maklum very dangerous, tapi sebelum-sebelum ni tak penah lagi dengar ade kes yang even remotely resembles this.

Full details ade dekat website Kirah, kalau nak tau lagi lanjut. If you can't go to it from my link, pegi kat website Deera (that link is definitely working), and click from there. Farah can honestly say sekarang nie yang alhamdulillah, diorang tak suffer much. According to the doctors, they died on impact, and efforts to resussitate them unfortunately proved fruitless. Dan alhamdulillah, from what I can see during my brief moments with them dekat hospital, that they died dalam keadaan tenang. Muke masing-masing tenang, alhamdulillah diorang pun baru lepas balik from tempat baik, buat bende baik dalam bulan baik.

Actuallynye Farah still numb, sume bende jadi cepat sangat. How do you cope? teringat lagi zaman-zaman when it was always the three of us. Orang lain, kalau nak pikir pasal kitorang pun, sure pikir in terms of Teh, Nanim ngan Farah. Even though dah masuk engineering tuh, takdelah berkepit selalu tige orang sangat, but both of them were always together sebab masing-masing ambik kelas almost same and keje kat Stockwell dining hall.

Malam tadi, the reporter from Michigan Daily tanye, what would you want to remember most about them. I said, the fact that they were loyal. Actually, I want to remember everything about them. Bile Farah tgh down, slalu pegi bilik sebelah and cerite dekat Teh, kalau tension pasal professors, selalu bising-bising dengan Nanim. They were a big part of my life kat Michigan nie. Everybody should have people they can always, always depend on. Teh and Nanim were mine. Now that they're gone, a part of me feel lost, too. Sepanjang malam takleh nak tido, terpikir pasal diorang. Almost every memory I have ade diorang, everything that I look inside my room mengingatkan Farah of the times we spent together, especially our Florida vacation. Malam tadi masuk bilik Teh, it took all of my strength to not keel over and start crying. I'm just grateful sekarang ni yang I have friends yang tengah grieving jugak sekarang nie, and we're holding each other up. Masing-masing jauh from family, so dekat Michigan, each other lah family.

Banyak questions main kat kepale otak ni. What do you do after a thing like this happen? Kite selalu tak sangke bende nie jadi kat kite. Alih-alih, bende macam nie jadi. Rasenye sume orang yang went through the ordeal from start to finish, sume traumatized. Susah nak erase a thing like this from your head, actuallynye tak patut erase pun. So how do you live with the memories.

I'm just glad I got to say goodbye. Semoga Allah mencucuri rahmat ke atas mereka. Al-Fatihah.

Wassalam.....

Assalamu'alaikum....
Oooppsy, tukar lagu again (sori ler, previous song, Hey Ya from Outkast, letak tak sampai 12 jam dah kene bump off ). Hehe.. never mind, lepas nie letak lagi tuh balik, I just feel like having this one first. I used to be a Brit-pop freak, like seriously. I knew every top 40 British chart songs, I used to buy TOTP and Smash Hits all the time (the fact that I even know what the heck TOTP is should say something, it's Top Of The Pops), I adored Boyzone to bits, and I knew the direct translation to "gizza snog, luv" (ewww... I was such a dork). Errrmm... anyway, I'm not quite as infatuated with British music as I was, but I do enjoy this single from Sugababes. It just screams "Girl Power", reminisce of the time when Spice Girls rule and platforms were actually cool, for about 5 seconds. Here's the lyrics:

Hole In The Head

Seven hours since you went away
Eleven coffees, Rickki Lake on play
But late at night when I'm feeling blue
I'd sell my ass before I think of you

Seven hours since you closed the door
Started a diet, got a manicure
Erased your number from my telephone
And if you call me I won't be at home

He said:

[Bridge]
Why don't you cry
For the day
Say goodbye
Runaway
Why don't you cry
For the day
Say goodbye
I said ok, 'cos...

[Chorus]
Ooh, won't you miss me like a hole in the head
Because I do boy,
And it's cool boy
And ooh, bet you never thought I'd get out of bed
Because of you boy,
Such a fool boy

Eleven hours on a brand new day
I'm getting ready to go out and play
It's late at night, I'm caught in a groove
I'd kiss my ass before I'm feeling blue

Seven hours, what you calling for?
A bunch of flowers and I slam the door
You're in my face, sorry what's your name?
Takes more than begging to reverse my brain
'cos...

[Chorus]
Ooh, won't you miss me like a hole in the head
Because I do boy,
And it's cool boy
And ooh, bet you never thought I'd get out of bed
Because of you boy,
Such a fool boy

I'm through with it
Over it
Not having it
Crazy sh*t
Not feeling this
Can't deal, I quit
No more, No more
I'm through with it
Not having it
This crazy sh*t
Not feeling it
Can't deal with it
No more, I quit
No more, no more

Breaking off the ...
A brand new day has just begun
Just because you made me go "ooh"
Doesn't mean I'll put up with you
Don't you dare come back
Can't u see I wont take that?
I ain't crying over you
Better fill your head up like I told you

[Bridge]
Why don't you cry
For the day
Say goodbye
Runaway
Why don't you cry
For the day
Say goodbye
I said ok, 'cos...

[Chorus]
Ooh, won't you miss me like a hole in the head
Because I do boy,
And it's cool boy
And ooh, bet you never thought I'd get out of bed
Because of you boy,
Such a fool boy (such a fool)

[Chorus]
Ooh, won't you miss me like a hole in the head
Because I do boy (I do)
And it's cool boy (yeah it's cool)
And ooh, bet you never thought I'd get out of bed
Because of you boy, (I do boy)
Such a fool boy (such a fool)

Cool :) .

Assalamu'alaikum...
Oohh... forgot, changed the song again, heheh. Like this one a lot, it's really cute. People keep telling me I should see the video clip, but I'm not really a big fan of tuning to MTV ( what?? you don't like TRL?? Nguahaha... err, it's not that I don't like it, I just don't feel the need to tune in every single day), so we'll see how that works out.

Ta!

Wassalam... (penutup kene ade ;P )

Assalamu'alaikum....

Took the Emode IQ test just now, and this is (part) of my result:

"We also compared your answers with others who have taken the test, and according to the sorts of questions you got correct, we can tell your Intellectual Type is a Facts Curator.

This means you are highly intelligent and have picked up an impressive and unique collection of facts and figures over the years. You've got a remarkable vocabulary and exceptional math skills — which puts you in the same class as brainiacs like Bill Gates. And that's just some of what we know about you from your test results. "

Hohoho.... Bill Gates? Cool! Now if I can be just as rich, powerful and successful, I'd be set for life :-) .
Take the Emode IQ test here


Okay, I need to go pray and get to class. Ciao! Wassalam...

Wow, dah lame gile rasenye tak update, been so busy with homework, project and stuff. Hehehe.. actuallynye ade je mase kalau nak update, tapi I used that time to hafal moves from my classes, hehehe. Ooo... lupe lak, slamat berpuase to those who do. Love the fasting month :) .
Last night was Halloween, and I decided to dress up this year and get into the hype of wearing costumes. Hehehe... Jen and I raided her trunk when we were over at her house last fall break weekend, and I borrowed her goddess costume, but I added wings to make it into an angel's costume instead, though I forgot to purchase myself a halo to make it complete. But still, people could tell. Nguahahah... ingatkan smalam nak bawak orang lain celebrate with me, tapi all plans went to hell and I ended up just bringing one other person with me to go celebrate with Jen and her friends. Verdict: interesting night :), though there were times that I got bored, though. You can only do some things so many times .....
Hari nie nak kene wat program, program mode all the way up to Monday. Bloody hell, sume bende susah. I hate it bile dah lepas tulis coding, pastu kene padam sebab the fucking thing doesn't work. Oh well....
Thanks Hakam for the camera :) ....
Okay, me need to move it and get my butt ready for the group meeting. Till much, much later. Bantut, Yong, miss both of you! :)
Wassalam..........

Assalamu'alaikum....
Me tired, 2 days of non-stop dancing and I STILL have dance class today. I guess it wouldn't be quite so bad if that's all that I have to do. Ah, but let's not forget, I am no dance major (as evident from my lack of coordination on Monday's class), I'm a CS major (computer science yang, has nothin' to do with counterstrike). Which means I have brain-using related homeworks and a programming project due. Plus i have to study for my math midterm and continuously study French. And I have to start reading the damn EECS textbook if I hope to do good in the next exam. Oh, the wonders and joys of being a student....
I still miss home. I miss the days that I go out shopping with Yanieand blow off our respective USD and Euros, I miss the times that when I get back home, there's a little tyke waiting at home to give me my daily dose of headache (penat tau nak kejar die satu rumah dengan mangkuk nasik suruh makan ), I miss talking and laughing with my sister-in-law and my mom, while my dad and first brother look on, I miss talking to my 2nd brother and bickering about who has the best sunglasses, the best jeans, the most branded clothes etc., I even miss the times that I senyap-senyap gune computer main Unreal Tournament sebab segan nak main depan abang (hehe.. it's a youngest sister thing). Of course, I also miss that darling cousin of mine who's hell-bent on corrupting me, hehehe (if i don't write this, there would be hell to pay, kan kan kan? )I miss the food, the atmosphere, the pamper trips, the shoe-shopping frenzy, the heart-to-heart talks, the TV,..... just miss everything. I mean, takdelah homesick, but sometimes you just have to sit, think and realize that there really is no place like home.
Hann, dear, MANE I BOLEH BALIK UMAH THIS WINTER!! Less than 2 weeks at home, tak cukup nak get over jet lag. I'll be in the US for the hoilidays, but I promise I'll miss you every step of the way, hehehe :P. Okay, enough of that. Right now tengah berharap that my best-friend won't get married until I get back. Woi, dah janji orang lah, jangan kawin duluk, aku nak pegi!! Waaa!! (another reason why kengkadang wish ade kat umah).
Enough rambling for the morning. I need to get some work done. Oh, by the way, thank you Teh sebab download kan lagu Maroon 5 tuh, and thanks Dee for the Britney clip. Made my life a whole lot easier.
Wassalam.....

how to have fun, but you may take it to
extremes.
You know what you are doing though, and are much
in control of your own life. People don't always

you should do away with your beliefs. Try to
remember that your wild spirit can
lead to hurting yourself and others.

(18-26 points) You are ERNIE.
You are fun, friendly, and popular. You are a
real crowd pleaser. You have probably been out
on
the town your share of times, yet you come home

Marriage and children are important to you, but
only after you have fun. Don't let the people
you
please influence you to stray.

(27-34 points) You are ELMO.
You are cute, and everyone loves you. You are a
best friend that no one takes the chance of
losing. You never hurt feelings and seldom have
your own feelings hurt. Life is a breeze. You
are
witty and calm most of the time. Just keep clear
of backstabbers, and you are worry free.

(35-42 points) You are ZOE.
You are a lover. Romance, flowers, and wine are
all you need to enjoy yourself. You are serious
about all commitments. A family person. You call
your Mom every Sunday, and never forget a
Birthday. Don't let your passion for romance get
confused with the real thing.

(43-50 points) You are BERT.
You are smart, a real thinker. Every situation
is
approached with a plan. You are very healthy in
mind and body. You teach strong family
values. Keep your feet planted in them, but
don't
overlook a bad situation when it does happen.

Assalamu'alaikum...
I have a few minutes before I have to get ready for class to bising pasal exam semalam. rasenye tak penah lagi ambik exam seteruk tuh, mase zaman tak study econ pun, it wasn't as bad as that. Gile jahat Chesney, aaaaaaaaaahhhhhh!!!!! Tak tau lah result camane, looks like my hard work buttering up my parents mintak tolong kasi "ehem ehem" nanti tak berbaloi ler kalau fail exam :( . Waaaaa!!!! I spent the first quarter of the nite lepas exam menjerit2 dekat phone ngan Ijat (yang jerit2 jugak sebab die pon rase exam susah). Seriously, sape yang sempat nak buat (buat je, tak betul pun takpe) sume algorithm kat situ, mmg lah dewa CS. Dewa gile lah. *SOB*!!!!! I hate this sooooo much.
Okay, backtrack to last weekend. Jumaat pegi Midland ngan Jen. Her mum ngan sister, Andrea, ambik kitorang kat West Quad around 6.30 camtuh. It was a 2 hour ride, in which I had time nak borak2 ngan sume orang (thank goodness, kalau tak sure pelik bile sampai umah). Anyway, sampai2 je, we went to the Midland High football game. Seems like itulah diorang punye social event every weekend sepanjang2 the football season. Andrea was kind enough nak terangkan the whole dynamics of the game since the only thing I know is where the goal posts are, ball through goal is a good thing, and some-way-or-another you can move towards a yard line. Unfortunately, no one was really paying attention to the game (Jen especially, die sibuk run around peluk orang yang die dah lame tak jumpe), so after a while, I got bored too and was introduced around instead :). Fun? Yeah :) . Midland tuh is a predominantly white town, so I think everyone was being extra nice to me sebab yelah kan, dah lah I'm obviously not white, I'm from a whole different country! Haha! Balik from game, we went to Pizza Hut, makan, and then went to Jen's house. Malam tuh tengok Michigan lawan Minnesotta, and I watched Michigan got 31 points in the 4th quarter to edge out Minny (They were down by 14 points before that). Go Wolverines! Ngahaha... though I wasn't this excited mase tgk game on TV sebab penat....
Jen: Obviously you don't share my enthusiasm for the game
Me: Well, you can't blame me, I had a long day. I feel like a slug. Just gimme caffeine and I'll be half human again.
Saturday, I had the pleasure of watching Jen get her sisters dressed up for their big Homecoming. Pagi tuh we went out shopping for supplies and stuff. Ingatkan nak amek sikit gambar, but my camera conked out for no apparent reason (bettery sume dah fully charged and all), so I only managed to get a pic of Andrea and her date. Malam tuh, while Jen's sisters were out to the dance, I had the big task of cooking everyone an authentic Malaysian dinner. Ngehehehehe... big, big responsibilty, kang tak sedap karang, naye jek. So I decided to cook mende yang paling senang and yang diorang paling familiar (or at least have heard of): kari ayam. Hahaha... so basically that night's meal consisted of kari ayam, sayur masak oyster sauce (another easy dish), and for dessert, makan pau kacang. Lagi best: we had guest for dinner. So basically 5 white people akan makan what I had cooked. The result: not too shabby :) . Everybody cakap sedap (bangge bangge... purposely made it not so spicy), and they were amzed with the pau thing. Ha! Nasib baik I haven't turned everybody away from Malaysian food.
A lot of things happened, tapi malas nak cite pepanjang, so cut to the chase, we went back on Sunday morning so Jen can make it to her Jason Mraz concert.
Monday: me and Teh gie Briarwood shopping for baju and jeans. Tuesday: AAACCKK!!!! Homeworks galore and exams incoming!!! I did my math homework and studied for EECS 281 and French midterms. Wednesday: what I did on Tuesday again. Thursday: AAAAAAAHHHH!!!!!! Fuck punye 281!!!!! Penat study macam nak mati, satu haprak pun tak menolong!! Friday: today I have dance class, French mini-redaction, and a meeting with an I-Center advosir regarding my lost I-20. Go figure.
Okay, about the pic...... penah dengar tak the song "It's my party and *bleep* if I want to, *bleep* if I want to, *bleep* if i want to " (*bleep* tuh not equal to swear words, I just can't remember how the damn thing goes). Weeelllllll....... take the pic in the spirit of the song ( and by this point, sure half of you reading this would go... huh? Keskeskes.... this is for the people yang find it sooooooo interesting nak comment on every single bloody thing sume orang buat, dengan ucapan, stick it where the sun don't shine). To the person who wanted me to put this up.... it's up. Again :) . Miss talking to you sampai handphone berasap, hahahahah.
Okay, me in big trouble sebab tak bersiap lagi nie. Ta!
Wassalam......

*Sigh*.... for a week where I had the least work to do since the beginning of the semester, it sure feels long. Macam-macam jadik yang rase nye tak appropriate nak tulis kat sini simply because dah tak larat nak layan dah. Tak larat nak feel anything, so all I can say is, dah malas dah.... tak larat. Thank goodness today is Friday, and we have Fall break on Monday and Tueday, and since Wednesdays I don't have class, that gives me an extra "cuti" day. Honestly, tatau nak tulis ape right now. I just got back from French, and right now nak kene packing sebab... sebab... I'm going over to Jen's house for the weekend. Yay!! Thank goodness something good is happening today. So pegi rumah die from hari nie until Sunday, sebab Jen has plans to go and see Jason Mraz on Monday dengan grupmate maths die. I am so jealous!! Suke suke suke Jason Mraz (well, suke lagu die anyway....). Skang nie tgh mengantuk siket, sebab semalam tido lambat (ye lah, habes masak pon mase tuh dah pukul 12 lebey). Last night me, Wann, Bulan, Nik, Epol and Azwan had late dinners that consist of ayam masak madu and ikan bilis goreng. Yummm.....
Okay, me need to feed... gonna go cook up some victims. Au revoir!

Wassalam.........

Today, today today... tak buat pape sgt. Meh kite backtrack to hari Ahad... Ahad buat ape, you ask? Ahad pegi shopping, beli sluar lepak ngan sweater pink. Hehehe.. best2. Pastu malam takleh nak tido, so kacau ade sorang manusia nie sampai die pon takleh tido.. ish ish.. kesian. Isnin, ade kelas French sebijik. My Professeur kasi slip oral, and puji kate my my pronounciation is "exceptionally good for this level..... hope to hear you talk more in class". Wah wah wah wah.... hepi hepi hepi!!! First time ade sorang soh lagi byk cakap instead of "shut up!". After kelas, balik solat, then lepak kat CCRB for 3 hours membuat cubaan-cubaan pengurusan badan (dah makin bulat cam doraemon... ).. well actuallynye kene ganti kelas for about an hour, then tunggu my dance class starts. Dance class beeeessstttt (slalunye takdelah sgt sebab struggle nak balajar moves... adoi lah sakit)... belajar kick kaki mid-air, then twist badan and land on the floor. Can I do it? Hell no. Boleh lepas sikit lah.. takdelah cantik sgt buat, though my instructor kate my "body-roll" lawa (totally different thing, takde kene mengene ngan the kick-midair-like-you-kick-ass thing) ... cheeewaahhh!!!!! hahah.. kelas sikit je org yang dtg mase tuh, nak compare ngan sape lagik? Muahaha.. definitely a day of praises, me very, very, VERY happy!!
Tuesday (that'd be today...) , terlambat gie kelas for half an hour. Wah, padan muke, gatal nak pakai tudung biru cantik hari nie, kan dah susah nak bentuk. Anyway, hari nie non-stop classes sampai kol 6.30... javanese dance hari nie dah dapat position.... ade orang tuh kan, kan, kan.... kan, kan, kan (hek eleh, macam die bace je mende alah nie), dapat position kat depan. Waaaahhh (eh, it's not me lah, org lain lah).... sure bangge *ehem ehem* die tengok mase perform nanti. Pheewitt!! Go ***!!! Keskeskes... macam biase, lepas weekend, nari macam kambing sebab dah lupe banyak, and I can bet jumaat nanti camtuh jugak. Hmm.. malas nak layan.
Lepas nari, tengok bebudak main co-ed soccer. Bad luck guys, kecian. oh well, nasib tadek, though kitorang ngan "kucing-kucing parsi betina" yang duduk kat sidelines tuh... sampai Ijat soh tendang bole bagi kene kepale sekor-sekor... uish Ijat brutal.
And skang kol 11.30... me baru lepas boogeying to Lil' Kim and Timbaland... nguahahaha, gatal tanak wat keje. Wokeh, me have to get going and buat keje now.
Oh, and I got this in my friendster:

CUZZY!!!!!!I MISS UR PIN STRAIGHT
HAIR.........POST IT UP
NOWNOWNOWNWONWOWNOWNOWNOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

............ It's up :) . Wassalam.

Hmm.. this is my 2nd time writing this post, for some reason the first one managed to delete itself. Damn. Okkeh, so last night tengok "Underworld" ngan Wann, Fer and Nik. Verdict: best :D. I mean, the movie takdelah mind-blowing sgt, on the other hand, takdelah movie die jenis yang kite tak sabor-sabor nak tunggu die habes sebab bosan giler. "Underworld" starts Kate "I am British and I snogged Ben Affleck and Josh Hartnett in one movie" Beckinsdale (of "Pearl harbor" fame) and Scott Speedman (ben in "Felicity"). Chemistry between them : not much, actually. Kate, being the rough-tough "vampyre" Selene hid her emotions almost too well, so there much lovin' goin' on between those two. And about the rest of the storyline.... pretty interesting, actually. It certainly was something different. War between vampires and werewolves wouldn't really get people flocking into the theatres, but give them kick-ass guns that shoot out liquid silver nitrate or ultra-violet rays in a capsule, combine with designer clothes that rivals even those worn in "The Matrix" trilogies... and you have an almost winner. Black seems to be the order of the day (or night), nobody wears color in the movie. And I have to admit, the werewolves were more impressive than the vampires (of course, you can't really trust my judgement -or Wann's - since some of them were almost naked whenever they turn into werewolves, heheheh ). Though vampires with British accents are kinda sexy (muahahah... ). Then again, even a broom with an English accent can be sexy.... Will I be anticipating a sequel? Nit really. Will I watch if they do have one? Yep. Verdict: good movie if you want a good combination of talk AND action. If you're hoping for a lot of romance, you're not gonna get a whole lot here. What I like most about the movie: the fact that you don't really understand anything until AFTER you finish the whole thing (good guys aren't really good at all, bad guys are actualy good etc. ...) Worth my money: yep. Worth yours: I dunno.
Okay, me have to go check on my chicken. Layter!!

Omigosh, dah lame, lame, LAME giller tak update blogger. Me busy, busy, busy. At this moment, I am writing from the Media Union, tgh tunggu my damn test repot to print out. Turns out one of the printers tuh tgh "toner low" ( uh-huh.... bukan pompuan aje ade toner, printer pun ade), so the remaining one print selaju nenek tue berjalan (no offense tuh nenek-nenek yang under 80 years of age.... that would include my mom, hahaha.... sayang mak). Anyways, kepale tgh pening sebab due hari tak tido. Bukan tido lambat tau, TAK TIDO. Adoi lahh...... ade orang tuh smalam buat lawak bodo ngan org, dah kene bebel.... tuh lah, buat lawak lagi kat org tak cukup tido, haaa... hambek ko.
Anyway, my math 454 course not going as well as I hoped..... baru realize yang all of my courses sume senang IF you can spend time on it (except for EECS 281 yang susah nak mampos mmg takleh nak ditolong dah.... sabor je lah). And then math 454 tuh terabai yang ter amat-amat.... and I hate it bile amek course yang mmg tak tau pape langsung2.... so memandangkan drop-add deadline dah abes, and jiwe rage hati bakul nie tak tahan dah (sedey tau bile sedar yang mmg tak tau ape-ape about something.... ), I decided nak withdraw dulu from 454 and pick it up later (if ever ). Heheh.... and this also means I have to bust my brains, butt and wallet out for the rest of the other courses (brains for thinking, usually.... butt-> gett of mine so that it can sit somewhere at the MU... wallet -> ingat kopi jual kat MuJo/Espresso Royale tuh murah ke? nasib baik skang dah kenal vending machine, many thanks to Ijatto ). result kene at least cantik sikit than last sem.... wuh wuh (Ijat, pinjam phrase). So next week... mau pegi and men-drop kelas... ngeheheheh...
Anyway, semalam me and Ijat duduk kat Mu ditemani (buat sementare waktu) of Alisa... pastu tige-tige mereng sebab keje byk. Mcam-macam lah yang jadik... Ijat punye tak betul sampai mengeluarkan statement -> "ade super group ngan super tak group" ... errr... actuallynye die tgh explain kat Alisa, EECS 281 nanti for 2nd project, students kene bahagi2 ikut group. Pastu group takleh pilih sendiri, and per group die pilih nanti ade budak terrer, separa terrer, tak terrer ngan "budak yang Allah je buleh tolong die dah" (hopefully kategori tuh tak wujud). The reason die tak kasi pilih group sendiri is because nanti budak-budak terrer form "super group".... pastu budak-budak tak terrer nie akan terpakse lah form "super tak group". Hahahaha.... Ijat, ijat.... best pukul 2 pagi, tgh tensen pon boleh buat lawak siot lagik...
I MISS WRITING!!!! Writing kat blogger lah.... lagi ape yang miss? I MISS LOOKING NICE!!! Skang pakai baju main ambek mane yang sampai je.... I MISS SHOPPING!!!!!!!!!!! Waaa.... pasni sape lagi nak meng kaye kan Forever 21? MOST OF ALL..... I MISS TIDO!!!!!!!! zzzzzz.......zzzzz......... too much abc's and not enough zzzzzz's makes farah one cranky girl.
I don't think being very busy and tension all the time agrees with me. rase camtuh sebab bile tgh tension, I get cranky, moody, all those stuff yang usually u only get like once a month. Paling tak best.... I'll be really, really mean to people. Mule lah... start bossy sket... lupe nak cakap thank you kat org... muke masam macam yoghurt basi jek... ish.... takmoh dah...
Teringat lak something.....

WAX ON, WAX OFF, WAX ON, WAX OFF.........
Last Thursday... kejap-kejap, setat balik.... hari Khamis yang lalu, saya dan rakan saya Shahrizat telah pergi ke Kroger dengan menaiki bas. Kami telah menuggu bas di perhentian Pierpont Yang Biasa (errr.. Pierpont Commons? ). Okay, dah cukup dah adegan Cintailah Bahasa Kita. Moving on....
So basically kitorang gie Kroger nak buat groceries. Tapi ntah camane ntah ter sidetrack kat tempat yang women's "ammenities" (sile lah paham2 yer.. ). Now, actuallynye takdelah mende yang interesting sgt except this is my first time nak beli.....
Shaver. Yep, I've never own one in my whole life. Selame2 nie either pakai wax (ouchie!) or pakai delapidatory ( I have no idea how to spell that, so shut up ) cream. But memandangkan semester nie I do not have time for the "wax on wax off" method ( pop strip into microwave, wait 30 seconds, put strip on skin, breathe in deeply, yank strip off and scream bloody murder), plus creams are getting to be a hassle (messy and still you have to tweeze, definitely not a breeze... hey, I rhymed! Yay me... dork ), so I need the fast, quick (somebody buy me thesaurus) and easy solution. And shaving would be it. Apsal tak penah ade shaver? Sebab I had a bad experience with shaving blades that involved a lot of blood and me traumatized for life... until now)
So sebab history lame tak best, buying my very first shaver was really important. It has to be just perfect. So awal-awal lagi dah tolak disposables, even though actuallynye disposables lagi murah. But they look soooooo unappealing... macam the mini version of that thing yang org keje kat pam minyak slalu gune nak lap cermin kete... you know what thing I mean kan? Bende yang ade sponge ngan squeegy tuh (again, I can't spell). So that left me four other contestants..... Gillette's Venus, Gillette's Sensor, Schick Intuition and Schick amende-ntah-tak-ingat-name.
So selepas 10 menet ber consult ngan consultant (Ijat ler, sape lagik..... kedengaran dialog-dialog "Yang ni macam best.. tapi mahal" "Eh, aku suke yang nie, comel" "Tapi yang tuh besar sangat, takut tak best pegang... aku nak kecik sket" "Eh yang nie nampak best, siap ade Aloe Vera lagik... aku suke mende-mene yang ade Aloe Vera ngan Vitamin E nie" "Err... nie pon ade Aloe Vera ngan Vitamin E jugak" "O ye ke? Eh, yang ni comel" "Tapi mahal" "Tapi comel".......on and on ), akhirnye beli Gillette Venus Passion... ke Passion venus... whatever lah. Verdict lepas sekali pakai: best best. Sebab die ade swivel head, so it kinda molds to the surface of your skin. It's skinny, so senang pegang, and handle die senang grip. Plus mine is pink, heheh. Very cool.
Apsal cite pasal shaver. Eh, sukati....... plus saje jek nak tgk exactly how many ppl sanggup nak waste time bace cite pasal.. shaver. Ngehehehe..... you dorks.

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

Okkeh dah. :) . Tadi baru balik BBQ umah Nizam. Nyum nyum. Me, Deera ngan Alisa datang time tgh preparation, so sempat nak tolong menggaul. Sape tukang BBQ and letak sos mmg boleh tabik lah sebab sedap, takde yang hangus. Best best. Sempat tgk game sekejaaaap je Kedah lawan Michigan... eh salah, Oregon lawan Michigan (baju Oregon hijau kuning) . Pastu kene baliks sebab ade program EECS 281 kene buat. Waaa!!!!! So skang kat mane? Kat MU, tgh nak wat stuff ngan Ijatto.... nasib baik Ijat ade, kalau tak, sape lah tulun explain what the heck a command line is?
Errmm.... nak break a secret kejap. Someone's getting a watch for your birthday.... hahaha.. sape someone tuh? Here's a hint: bedey ko dah dekat GILE!!! Hahaha... mampus au kene bunuh ngan orang yang nak bagi. Woo-hoo!!! You have to catch me first....

The weekend has been officially over for about 10 minutes. Oh, agony. Today (well, it is 10 minutes after 12) class will start again... my oh my... and me with only a smidgeon of homework done.
What did I do last weekend? Well.... let's start with Friday night. Jen, her cousin Allison and i went to watch a band called the most play over at Beta. The band was, surprisingly, very good. In fact, they even played "Song 2" by Blur (British band). All in all, it was good fun, and pizza afterwards made the evening just nice :).
Saturday morning to afternoon.... kemas bilik, then to our block party over at Stanley for free food (nyum)... then sambung kemas bilik, then call umah. I love my mommy, she's so funny. We talked for about an hour. Then malam, keluar. Takleh nak elaborate pepanjang because.. well, I can't je (hehehe... actuallynye sebab dah kene warning awal-awal... takotsnye saye). Then makan over at Whatsitsplace (can't remember the name), had a "Hippie breakfast", then went to sleep.
Sunday..... after a failed attemp at upgrading my PC (thank you Adlee, sori amek time lame sgt), I did my math homework (err... susah susah susah) and deciding yes, I do want to drop tech com., though I haven't yet.
And now... now I'm mourning over the loss of my weekend and the return to the life of not enough sleep, clothes that mismatch, and me frowning all day long. *Sigh*.... I'll probably get wrinkles before I reach 30.
God, I'm having writer's bloc. Great. I'm sure everyone reading is asleep by now... oh well... till something more interesting comes up....
Wassalam....

Asslamu'alaikum...
Wah wah wah... I'm sane again!! Yay! After days and days of sleeping at 3 or 4 am and waking at either 8 or 9 am (trust me, that's not enough sleep), and having so much homework to do... today, I finally managed to tak a 1 hour nap. Yay!
I hate it when my all of my homeworks are piled up like that. I mean, having 5 homeworks due in one day is NOT fun. Jason (as in Seng Fatt) told me I'm trying to kill myself, and I started to think, if I'm this knackered this early in the semester (it's only the second week), God help me get through these three months. Ackk!!! The thing is, i don't feel like dropping any courses. Non at all, except for maybe my tech com class. But the sooner I get my resume writing skills (that's what the tech com is for), the sooner I can get my resume out into the world, or at least on EnginTrak. Choices choices...
Today, the stupidest thing happened to me. At around 5.30 pm, after my last class, I decided I was in the mood for McDonald's California Cobb salad (yum...). Anyway, since they put bacon in all of their salads, I specifically asked for a salad with no bacon. The woman at the counter repeated my order numerous times so that she wouldn't get it wrong. Okay, everything was going fine, I got my salad, and deciding to be trusting, I didn't check and took the bus to go back to my room. Big mistake. I went into my room, looked at my salad, then ran back outside to get the bus. The girl who sat in front of me in the bus was smiling at me, probably because I was looking like an idiot for holding a salad bowl in my hands for all the world to see. Well, at least when I got to McD, they already had my salad ready and apologized for the inconvenience. By then, because of the lack of food, rest and sleep, I was beyond caring, all I wanted to do was to go back, eat and get some sleep.
Oh, by the way... never underestimate the appeal of a guy in a nice sweater.... so, so attractive, heheh.... oh, and alisa, aku pinjam kucing jap yerrrrr.....

wassalam.....

A'kum....
Long, long, LOOONG day..... full day of classes. Man, I didn't get any rest until about... right now. From 10 am up to 2 am. Shit. Oh, today is Michigan Engineering's birthday (I think!). Happy Birthday!! Yay! me happy because I got free candy, magnet and badge that says I'm "into community service". Which I am. Honest :) .
Anyway, thank you to Adlee for doing the math homework with me. Heheh.. if not, I would probably still be at the MU trying to figure out correct MATLAB commands needed to plot my 3-D graph.
Y'know what, my wit isn't quite as sharp today. Tired I guess. Before I make a total ass of myself (yet again), I better pen-off. layter.

Wassalam...
