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.....

You know what you are doing though, and are much

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.

real crowd pleaser. You have probably been out
on

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!!

Assalamu'alaikum.......
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.....
