I'm moving my updates to a different blog, http://www.farah-faisal.blogspot.com, since it's an easier address to remember and spell. It's been a great ride updating this blog, hope you'll follow me on to the next chapter!

Ngahahahahahah... baru lepas gelak golek-golek.... gelakkan my elder brother (not the eldest, this one yang belum kawin tuh). Ermm.. sape ade kat Mesia now nie, sile-sile lah tengok Mingguan Wanita cover Elly Mazlein, page 76 (or pg 72, tak ingat yang mane). Ade gambar Abang Fareen besor2 kat situ. Alololololo..hehehehe... Kak Yann pon gelak tak ingat dunie tadi,hehehe. Pelik betul, antare manyak-manyak majalah, MW jugak yang die masuk, ish ish. Oh well, proud of him all the same, hehe.

A’kum…
2nd day of staying at home. Quite an accomplishment considering the non-stop berjalan and mall-hopping me and Yanie did for 2 weeks straight every single day. Actuallynye, tgh save energy (and duit) for the Malaysia Mega Sale that’s starting this Saturday. Woo-hoo! Sape yang kat Mesia skang nie yang bukan area KL/Selangor, meh ler turun KL. Shopping shopping, makan-makan, jalan-jalan… hehehe
Skang nie tgh juggle tulis blogger ngan plan kelas ngan Cik Deera. Kalau kene gaye, not all of my classes will be boring this fall, heheh. Bosan amek kelas EECS jek, even though before2 this ade my Umove classes to keep my butt of the couch. Tapi yang tuh pun dah bosan, time to move on to more interesting stuff.
Hari tuh tolong-tolong kat umah org kawen. Tolong edar bunge telur. Lameeeee tak buat keje-keje camtuh. Makan nasik minyak, nyum nyum. Best nye lah diorang sebab kawen kat umah, bukan kat dewan. Kite pun, actuallynye, kalau boleh nak kawen kat umah je, tanak kat dewan. Rumah personal sikit, tambah berkat umah tuh. Plus tetamu bleh dtg suke2 hati bebile, kalau terlambat pon still boleh layan lagik, tak macam kat dewan, rigid benor schedule die. Penah jugak pujuk bapak pindah umah baru sebab umah nie kecik sgt, family makin besar, plus dah lame dah umah nie, and we can afford a new place. Tapi umah nie byk memories kot, and pahamlah bapak malas nak go through the hassle of a new house, so my dream of being married at home would just have to be scrubbed sebab umah nie sgt2 tak suitable nak buat reception.
Me still trying to upload pics, funnily enough my new comp takde USB port. How can that be possible? Haiyak!
Sabtu nie adePC fair kat PWTC, maybe I can find something to help me out of this predicament. Hopefully pastu still ade duit nak beli my handy-drive.
Tatau nak end this camane, so wassalam..

p/s: hate keyboard baru nie punye spacebar…tak makan..

Assalamu'alaikum.....
Alhamdulillah, dah beli comp baru,heheh. Setelah sekian lame bising2 kat umah mintak tukar comp baru sebab yang lame tuh beli mase zaman dinosaur, akhirnye dapat jugak comp baru. Muahah! Me veli hepi. Teman abang gie Lau Yatt Plaza nak assemble it while tolong my sister-in-law survey notebook, mane tau die ade kenan pape. Last2 kite yang ter suke kat this one Fujitsu notebook, kehkeh.

Semalam gie Genting with Aaliyah, Intan ngan Syikin, my friends mase kat matriks, pastu Aaliyah bawak adek die Nabilah, darjah lime. Lame gile tak jumpe. Sronot!! Even though ade hujan kejap, but mase hujan kitorang masuk dalam gie solat and then me and Intan try out archery. Muahahaha... arrow kene bullseye sekali jek, but posing untuk camera macam nak mati, hahahah. Orang lain sume stok2 concentrate nak hit target, me ngan Intan bising carik cameraman (Syikin) kat mane. Favorite thing kat situ: definitely the FunKart. Sanggup tunggu beratur nak tunggu go-kart, pastu die kate kat situ "Dilarang memotong", kat depan2 sign tuh potong org. Naik Solero Shot, takut! Pastu drag Nabilah naik CorkScrew, sian budak tuh. Dah lah teruk kene sakat sehari suntuk. Theme parks are definitely my favorite places, me hantu rides sampai bebudak tuh dah penat pon kene drag kehulu kehilir lagik, heheh. Sori bebehs!

Me want to upload piccies, tapi cable ntah kemane ntah, jap lagi baru carik. Anyways, setelah 2 minggu jalan everyday, hari nie rest kejap. Ooohh... lupe! Akademi Fantasia! Sedey mase die buang Rosma, boo-hoo. Me and Kak Yann terbongok jap, sebab kitorang vote die, tapi undi tuh die tak kire. Buduh cam lembu betul. So the next week tuh, balas dendam(konon nye),gie vote for everyone except Nana (sebab makcik tuh patut dah kene vote out lame dah ). Nasib baik mmg die yang kene vote off this week,pueh ati.
Me lapar actuallynye, nak gie makang jap, pastu mebbe online balik. Fenart! Plus nak kene carik cable camera nie, mane ntah ilang nye...

A'kum....
COMP MELETUP!!!! Damn man! Emm.. abang dah pome, takde harapan dah nak betulkan, so semalam die dah survey nak beli comp baru, tapi knowing abang, alamatnye berkurun ler baru nak beli comp tuh. Anyways, now nie dekat office mak, gune comp to check up on stuff. Tadi baru lepas buat "rounds" meeting the "big" people in my mum's office. Nie pon baru keluar from bos punye office. Never hurts to make sure that you're acquainted with the right kind of people to help you get that big fat salary, right?
Semalam kemas bilek kat umah, sedey kejap bile jumpe gambar lame kat STF, of my classmates and schoolmates. Some of those pictures I buried deep beneath the drawer because it hurts so much to look at them. Tak sangke it could happen to me. Sape yang knows the story, I think will paham apsal. But being home is good for me, get close to my family, re-examine my priorities, what I want, what I won't settle for. Plus, I get to see some of my old friends (mase nie lah nak kenal who my real friends are, keskes. I have to admit, aku bukanlah kaki jalan sangat. So takdelah stock yang everyday nak keluar jalan gie KL,but every other day pegi lah jugak. Isnin tak keluar sebab mak ade kat umah, teman mak sambil punggah prezen yang mak beli from Mekah. Selase rest kat umah sebab sakit. Hari nie Rabu, dah baik sakit, so skang gie office mak sebab jap lagi nak gie SOGO. Shopping bebeh!! Hari nie SOGO sale (sale sale sale sale sale..... muahahahah! Oh happy day.... )
Nokia 7250.... dream phone skang nie. Second best... Nokia 7210. Ingat nak beli lah and then bawak balik US sebab phone skang dah tri-band, so memane je bleh pakai except Korea ngan Jepun. Plus my card ade international roaming. Mak dulu bising soh bawak handphone. Haaa... skang dah boleh bawak nie, tengok mak nak belikan ke tak, keskes. Kalau dapat the 7210 model, nak beli die punye plug-in camera jugak (habeslah duit mak...) sebab saje, camera die comel. Hehehe... hari tuh survey phones kat Sungei Wang ngan Yanie, siap boleh main2 ngan mamat seller tuh, heheheheh. Chinese guy yang sgt2 kelakar.
Weekend nie, kalau kene gaye, either gie Genting or gie Johor. Tengok dulu camane. Mak dah bising ajak breakfast, so penning off here... wassalam...

A’kum….
Sekarang nie dekat umah Yanie sebab I’m spending the night here. Heheheh… saje je sebab my parents tgh umrah nie, amek kesempatan lah nak buat mende2 yang kalau mak bapak ade kat umah, mmg definitely takleh nak wat. Dah seminggu lebeh tak online and check email and buat all the stuff that I should sebab comp dekat umah dah meletup, so no comp, no online, no blogger entries lah kan? It’s all relative.
Me kinda having fun jugak kat umah. Sebab mak takde, so I had to bemore domesticated, hehehe. Pagi bangun, basuh pinggan mangkuk breakfast, basuh baju, kemas newspapers, kemas toys budak bertuah tuh, sidai baju, tido jap (penat lah), then call Kak Yann tanye malam nie nak masak ape. So org rumah sume kene makan ape yang Chef Farah rase nak masak, muekeke. While all this might seem normal to org lain, it’s kurang normal sikit for me nak buat sume nie voluntarily sebab slalunye mak dah siap tinggalkan chores before die gie keje. Plus kalau bab2 masak, mak yang campak barang masuk kuali, kitorang tukang potong and kacau jek.
Sabtu lepas me and Kak Yann gie buat resdung treatment. Aku yang tak penah tau resdung tuh amende tetibe telah diberitahu dengan segale hormatnye yang “anda menghidap resdung”. Pulak dah. Sabtu nie kene buat treatment lagik, haiyak. Lepas wat treatment, gie shopping beli baju sebab ade satu kedai tuh buat clearance sale. Borong habes ngan Kak Yann segaale baju kaat situ. Pastu kejar bas macam nak mati, gie jemput kakak kak Yann from Pudu, then balik umah.
Ahad tuh, bangun lambat. Kak Yann ngan along die gie Ampang buat keje siket, so petang tuh I went out with Bie gie 1 Utama. It was the last day sale kat Living Quarters, Bie borong beli electric oil burner ngan hadiah for kawan die. Me, I decided to be a good daughter (hahahahah) and bought my mum a non-stick cooking pot. Apsal beli tuh? Sebab pot kat umah, asalnye ade due telinge, tinggal satu. Then the night before gie 1 Utama, masak gune mende bertuah tuh, sikit lagi nak melecur tangan. Nak tunggu mak beli pot baru, alamat lame lagi lah tunggu. So before episode melecur buat siaran ulangan, better belikan untuk mak siap2.
Haaa… hari tuh Hakam tanye ape yang hot kat Mesia skang, mintak belikan. Well Hakam, skang nie tgh heboh pasal VCD “poron” yang dibintangi artis2 mesia yang melayu. Mase balik tuh, cite pasal pramugara MAS (who also happens to be a UIA grad) buat cite porn tgh baru nak basi. Pastu kuar cite pasal ade sorang dramatis melayu (I know the name, taapi tanak mention, kalau sape dah tau, tau lah kan, sape tak, emm, nanti tanye aku senyap2) buat VCD porn. Actuallynye mende tuh not for sale, for “personal record” je, die hantar video gie kedai soh convert jadi VCD. Alih2 bile filem minah tuh meletup, kedai tuh pun me”release”kan lah dramatis tuh punye “personal collection” to orang ramai. Kesian lah jugak sebab violation of privacy. The guy in the VCD was her boyfriend mase filem tuh dibuat, skang derang dah kawin dah (nasib baik). Anyways, yang buat tambah kontroversi nye is the fact yang orang yang dah tengok VCD tuh komen “adegan kencing kat toilet pon nak tape jugak ke?”. Geli lah kirenye. Hmm.. consequently the now-husband of dramatis tuh kene pecat from his job as…. peguam syari’ah. Wonders never cease. Kesimpulan: private stuff jgn record, jgn buat tape porn, and kalau “ooppss… I dah ader lah buat tape porn”, sile lah jangan gatal nak convert jadi VCD. Nak wat ape? So boleh simpan lelame tunjuk kat anak cucu? “ Haa.. nie lah filem nenek tengah buat maksiat ngan atuk kamu”. Freaky sial.
Wokeh, entry dah panjang gile, better stop now nak siap2 ikot Yanie gie pasar malam. Apam balik for me tonite! Ciao and a’kum …..

Assalamu'alaikum…
One of the few family activities that we indulge in is sitting in front of the idiot box watching this new series on Astro Ria called "Akademi Fantasia". Think of it as the Malaysian version of "American Idol" with a little twist of "Fame" in it (by the way, I miss watching "Fame" on TV, waa!!). They start of with 12 contestants, where they eliminate a contestant each week. They one eliminated is the one with the least votes among them, where votes are taken in via SMS (and only SMS, I think). Like AI, the judges have no say in the votes, it's strictly up to the viewers to vote for their favorite performer. Judges for last week was Kudsia Kahar, Pak Ngah and Azhar Sulaiman, I think only Kudsia and Azhar are the permanent judges, though.
Contestants enrolled in the "academy" can't have any contact with the outside world at all during the duration of the show, at least not until they're eliminated. That means no cellphone, no talking to the fam, no hanging out with buddies, nottin'. They work only with each other, which is kinda interesting because you can see contestants helping each other in their performances, something that you don't see in AI.
So every Saturday all of us would pile up in front of the TV for the weekly concert. My favorite guy contestant: Vince, the one of the mix parentage. Hehe.. cute. He can sit down and read off the names in a telephone book and would still be the most interesting guy alive. His voice: very, very nice  . Favorite gal contestant: Rosma. Her voice is really, really great, lunak sgt bile bawak lagu irama Malaysia. Chubby but cute, she can definitely give Siti Nurhaliza a run for her money sebab suare die sedap sgt, tapi tak macam Siti. Ade gaye sendiri.
Last week Atie kene eliminate. Kesian siot, tapi serious terkejut how die dapat masuk contest tuh in the first place. Pelik betul. Mase die nyanyi, I was laughing my head off sampai Kak Yann cakap "tgk tuh mak, Farah jahat gelakkan orang tuh". Muahah.. tapi die gelak gak. And so Atie went off into the sunset with the free bag that the sponsors gave each contestant who got booted off. Satu lagi guy yang buat lawak is Sahri. Suare die sedap gak, very nice, die chubby pakai specs, which is okay and all (chubby with specs, I might as well have been describing myself), tapi die suke over acting, whether kat die punye own performance or orang lain punye. Haiyak! Spoil betul.
Can't wait for what next week has to bring.

Wassalam…

A'kum...
Hari nie pagi-pagi dah bangun, subuh pon tak masuk lagik. Disebab kan kalau nak online siang banyak songeh, so decided to check mail skang time orang sume tgh berdengkur lagik. Bangge kejap.
Hari nie nak kene gie Mid Valley lagik. Mak eh bosannyeeerrrrr.... masuk nie dah 3 kali gie MV in less than one week! Acckk!KLCC tak jejak lagik, probably sebab situ bosan and barang sume mahal. MV tuh ade harapn sket mau shopping...
Semalam dok umah kepenatan, bace CLEO ngan Mingguan Wanita. Bace Cleo rase trendy, bace MW rase macam mak orang, tapi ilmiah sket. Takkan nak belajar pakai lipstick je kot? Kene lah tau hal-hal pompuan zaman sekarang (cheewah! geli siot). Oh.. lupe... semalam gie kedai, pastu jumpe ade mak nyah tuh tgh terkinje2 depan kedai. Pelik lah gak tgk. Rupe-rupe nye die tgh minum air, pastu ntah camane ade ais jatuh dalam baju die. Sapo soh pakai tank top ngan capri pants gie kedai runcit, gilos ke ape. Pastu takat ais je nak bising satu kedai, aloh, kalau jatuh monyet ke gajah ke paham jugak. Tgh die sebok-sebok "Auw, sejuk lah, sejuk!" tuh, sempat lagi nak flash bra die kat org. Rase nak gelak. Mak nyah kat sini lagi hebat than trans kat US rasenye, sebab admittedly kalau die tak jerit-jerit expose suare yang garau tuh, susah nak cam die bukan "tulen".
Malam tuh tgk cite Korea "Hotelier" ngan mak and Kak Yann, pastu tgk video yang tunjuk nephew terchenta tgh nari depan Maya Karin. Hahahaha, genes suke nari-nari dah pass on kat die plak. Tapi untung Jajiq, kecik-kecik dah kene cium ngan Maya Karin, boleh bangge bile dah besar.
Okkeh, subuh dah masuk... sesungguhnya sembahyang itu lagi baik dari duduk depan komputer... Wassalam..

A'kum...
Saiye nie baru balik buat IC baru. Hmmm.... tgk MyKad sape ntah tadi, takdelah lawa sgt. I mean kad tuh, bukan orang nye, hehehe... the girl on the kad tuh tak perasan muke camane. So sekarang tinggal nak renew my license, then I'll be all set. Skang nie at least dah ade documentation yang tunjuk I'm a Malaysian, kalau tak keluar jalan tuh ade harapan je nak kene tangkap ngan polis pastu gie hantar balik tanah air terchenta Indonesia. Tak ke naye tuh?
Semalam tengok "Charlie's Angels:Full Throttle" ngan Yanie, my friend yang skang wat medic kat Dublin. Die tgh holiday gak now nie, so ade jugak lah kawan nak ajak kuar weekdays. Kitorang gelak2 mase tgk movie, sebab subtitles die menarik gile. Ade ke title movie tuh die translate jadik "Tiga Gadis Penuh Berkuasa". Pastu translate "in production with" jadik "bersekutu bersama". Hehehe.. mane tak gelak-gelak kambing mase tuh. Pastu kitorang pon compare lah GSC nye movie theatre dengan yang ade kat Michigan ngan Dublin. Heheheh... tapi episode yang paling best is bile ade couple nie masuk and duduk kat seats depan kitorang....
Farah: Eh Yanie, yang tuh laki ke pompuan?
Yanie: Tadi mase mule2 nampak macam laki. Apsal? Pompuan ke?
Farah: Tak sure, tapi cube tgk nanti from tepi, macam pompuan.
Yanie: Eh betullah, macam pompuan. Eh ye ke pompuan?
Farah: Tatau, confuse jap. Eh, laki kot...
Yanie: Camane tau die laki?
Farah: Sebab nampak cam ade misai jek tuh.
Yanie: Ade ek? Tak perasan lah. Die tak nak toleh.. tapi tgk shape belakang die besar jek macam lelaki.
Farah: Kurus betul... eh betullah misai. Haaa.. laki lah tuh... kot.

Nak dijadikan keje makin bodoh, kuar theatre je kitorang ikut belakang couple tuh sampai nampak bebetul misai. Hehehe.... mmg lah bebudak oversea balik takde keje. Lepas ikut diorang jap, singgah Saint Cinnamon, ingat nak bawak balik cinnamon roll. So aku pon diri lah kat pintu kedai tuh, tgk menu. Alih-alih sorang pekerje yang tak sayang duit nie gie cakap "Haaa... datang dekat-dekat kak, jgn jauh-jauh, dekat-dekat kak"..... sial betul. Lepas kasi die the "ko apehal mamat?" look, kitorang toleh pastu blah. Dah lah panggil kakak (macam die tuh mude sgt je, bile mase aku kawen ngan abang ko?), ade ke cakap kat customer camtuh, kalau gerai mamak tuh lain lah, nie kat establishment, tak sayang keje ke ape.
Waitress Paling Baik and Paling Sweet Dalam Dunie... boleh dijumpai di Kenny Roger's di Mid Valley. Baik sangat, sopan die tak ingat. cashier die bermasalah, tapi kalau kat Mesia nie boleh tinggal tip, dah lame tinggal tip "chantek2" kat waitress tuh, sgt2 baik.
Yanie, tengkiuk for the Dublin doll.... sweet!!! Macam orang yang kasi nye :) . Okkeh, dah pening kepale mengadap comp lame sgt, ciao and a'kum... :) ...
