Assalamu'alaikum....
Oooh... dah lame tak post. I think I'm losing readers, nyahahaha... the again, blog nie bukan di create to cater to anybody's expectations, so that's no biggie. Hehehehe....
Guys, skip the next part from line ***** to line ------. Trust me, if not that'll be five minutes you'll never get back.

*****************
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....
Outie!! Wassalam.....

Oh, oh, oh.... I forgot. Congratulations to the Wolverines for beating the crap out of Fighting Irish 38 - 0. Yay!!
Assalamu'alaikum...
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...

A'kum...
Omigosh, dah nak seminggu dah tak update, my bad. Sorry for that, busy sikit. Actuallynye busy banyak, plus my comp suke buat bende-bende bengong. Figures.
Anyway, how did the first week of class went? Eventful... and not exactly that good. Let's see.... where do I start? (btw, I'm gonna do this completely in English at the request of a particular person... see how much I love you? heheh)
So the last time I stopped was on a Tuesday. On Wednesday, I didn't have any classes, hooray for that. On Thursday, I had a full day of classes, and decided to be spontaneous and go to a French 102 class. I ended up liking that class so much, I re-registered, and now I'm not gonna have any social life at all because French classes have a lot of homework and I'm screwed. Oh, and at the Diag, somebody pushed me while I was standing near the grass, and since the laws of the universe decided that today I'm gonna get screwed, I tripped and fell down flat on my face onto the wet grass. The guy who pushed me repeatedly say he was sorry, and while I was trying (in vain) to remind myself that accidents do happen, a part of me wanted so bad to call him a dumbass and make a voodoo doll of him so that I can stick pins and needle into his.. ehem.. nether regions. But I smiled, said "It's fine, don't worry about it" and continued walking. Then I past a mirrored wall near Pierpont Commons, and what do I see? As a result of my fall, my mascara ran, and I had tiny bits of grass stains stuck on my shirt. I looked like I had just contracted a severe case of mad-cow disease. Dammit. I rubbed some of my mascara off, pulled on my jeans jacket, and tried mustering up as much dignity as I could... and walked straight to the bus stop to go home.
Later that afternoon, I had a class at the FXB building, which I'd never been to. Now, I received EXCELLENT directions (note the sarcasm) from a particular person (I'm not mad, in fact this one is kinda funny), and I ended up going to the OPPOSITE direction of where the building is actually located. Ooohh... not good. I was lost for about 35 minutes. And I was 30 minutes late for a one hour class. When I finally got to, I debated for about 5 seconds with myself if I actually want to go in. I decided, yep, I did NOT want to get lost for nothing, so I braced myself and went in. And here's the wonder of all wonders... In a class that probably had 30+ people in it... I'm the only one who can say "Hey, I have a vagina" (erm.. meaning I'm the only female in the class). Go figure, yeesh. okay, moving on to.....
Friday. Friday wasn't all that bad, actually. I had French, then later I had dance (my legs hurt sooo much). Now, Friday the day was uneventful. But Friday night... heheh. Actually, I didn't do anything. Nope. I was a good little girl and didn't do anything. really. Yep yep (*innocent eyes*). Okay, you know I'm lying, and obviously I'm keeping mum about it, for good reason :). Heheh... (10% devil...). Though I think later, I did watch a Hindustani movie called "Bhoot" (was that on Friday...? did I get the right title?)
Saturday. UMISA's annual meeting... where we get to (somewhat) know the freshmen or at least recognize them. I came to the meeting looking like a truck ran over me (no sleep for a whole night, what did you expect?). After the meeting, I slept, then went to the mall with Wann, Yus and Nik, bought new clothes, had dinner.... night time, "nothing" happened either (*cue another innocent-eyed look*). Uh-huh.. yeah... moving on to.....
Sunday. Okay, this time nothing REALLY did happen. Grocery shopping, cooked dinner for me and three other people, then trying valiantly to do homework... and freaking out when I realize that I'm never gonna get everything done by the time they're due. Figures.
Jump to today. French class was good, no math class (got cancelled), going to the gym to literally dance my butt off at 7 pm. Received an email saying I'm officially a "pen-pal" (yay!) and just decided that I like horses and I desperately wanna know how to ride. Holy mother of pearl.
Okay, I'm gonna immediately post and publish, do excuse the grammar mistakes and enjoy reading :) !
Wassalam...

A'kum....
Ahah! Finally dapat jugak login blogger bodoh, asyik2 tak dapat jek, chett. Anyway, hari nie 1st day of class... and I promptly missed my first class at 10 sebab bangun kol 10.30 .... waaahhh.... "pandai nye.." (sape balik Malaysia this year should know iklan baby yang ade Ako Mustapha tuh). And being me, the next tuh kol 12 pon boleh lambat 5 menet. Why? Sebab my shirts sume kene iron and I didn't have time, so pegi lah debut my peach dress with the red roses yang beli ngan Bie mase kat Mid Valley hari tuh... but tudung lah plak kene iron sebab tak jumpe tudung putih yang takyah iron tuh. Mase lambat tuh lah every single blardy people nak call. Credit card company, magazine, people looking for other people... "Hello, is Wendy there?"... Wendy hotak ko, gie lah update phone book you moron, I'm late for class.
Anyway, class hari nie sume one and a half hour punye classes.... and I finished at 3 o'clock before my next class at 5. Kepale pening sangat, so i decided to sleep kejap. Tido punye tido, bangun kol 4.30. Normal lah tuh.... alih-alih shit (literally) started happening all over again... memule sakit perut, then keluar toilet, tgh2 amek wudhu' tuh phone bunyik... damn u Wendy for not telling your friends where u at nowadays.... $%@!!!*&%^!!!!!! Then skali lagi dapat magazine phone call.... hadoi... in the end I made myself and 2 other girls late for dance class ( sape lagi 2 girls tuh? U go figure, I'm not telling....nyahaha ). Anyway, everything was okay.....
Smalam I got rid of some of my clothes with Jen's help. She's a clothes freak, like me, but unlike me, who always needs a 2nd opinion, she can just look at something at go "Oh, that does absolutely nothing for you" or "That's so adorable! Keep it!". So right now I have a big plastic bag filled with old stuff and sweaters that I bought but never wear. Some of the stuff are pretty new. sayang nak buang, but too many clothes is never good for you (did I just wite that??) . Anybody for a new (old) sweater/pants/shirt?
Been sleeping late for a few days, I should really get my head in gear or else I'm gonna miss classes again.
Damn.... kemas-kemas barang and I realize I'm missing something...... ABANG, FARAH PUNYE GUCCI GLASSES KAT MANE?????? ... Your sunglasses cost 3 times more than mine, org punye jugak yg die nak. Waaa!!! I want my sun-G back. Hehe.. teringat mak cakap dulu, "Nak layan taste awak ngan abang awak, bengkrap mak tau"... Heheh, alah mak, beli glasses tuh gune duit sendiri lah....
Ooohhh.... pewut saket..... jap2... wassalam...
