Hey all, I've decided to change the address of my primary blog to my own name. 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! Lots of love, Farah

Why is it that I didn't find out about the joys of blogging via email earlier?? This is so convenient! Would have saved me from that one year no update thing .....I am currently stuck in a clusterfuck known as Seattle traffic, which is so bad that I'm not even in Seattle yet and I'm in it. Uh huh, no kidding. We are moving at a slow, snail pace, which basically means that the bus driver hits

When you're fasting, it's not the easiest thing to get your body to do more than the basic necessities; brush teeth, take shower, put clothes on, get to work, get back from work, heat up dinner, eat. This morning I started off with a workout with my personal trainer Bri from SassyFit. A less strenuous workout in the morning is actually just right when one can't drink water or eat until 8pm, and

Soooo today is a Wednesday and I decided against cooking. So I took one of my Kushibar gift cetificates and headed over there instead. Kushibar is a Japanese izakaya place here in the Belltown area of Seattle, and the food there is delicious. I'll save you the play-by- play of what I ate, but the bowl over to the left there, the one with the spoon, is a kimchee fried rice. Yummm. And of

Every morning I take the 550 bus to work (unless I'm working from home). Usually the morning commute is pretty uneventful, but today we are joined by two Chinese ladies speaking rapid Cantonese and apparently not a lick of English except "sorry" and "thank you". Within a space of seconds they manage to accost two seats from two unsuspecting people who didn't know what to make of the constant

Look at how cute this dog is! His name is King and his owner is one of the aesthetitians at Spa Noir in downtown Seattle. I went in to have a facial again and there he is. Such a cutie. Makes me feel extra happy to come in every month when I get to see this buggy wuggy.

For all DWTS fans (I'm one of them I have to admit), here's the new crop of Stars (or "Stars" depending on how you see it) is.... The ladies: Brandy Norwood (as in singer Brandy, of 'Moesha' fame, also of the song "The Boy is Mine" fame. That duet with Monica was awesome) Jennifer Grey (from Dirty Dancing. Can't believe she's 50!) Margaret Cho, comedian, also on "Drop Dead Diva". I enjoy

Seriously, who has a blog, and then doesn't update for 2 years? 2 years?? ADD kittens have more attention span than I do. I think this says something about the last 2 years .... that things have come and gone and happened and not happened, and everything was just too difficult to put into words. To write on paper (or in this case, type on a screen) just makes things seem more .... real. Definite.

I spent all day Saturday painting my bedroom, with help from my friend Hitomi. I wasn't even painting the whole room, actually, just an accent wall in my room, but it still took us a good 5 hours to get everything done. Now I have a newly painted wall, and new curtains and shelf to boot. Best of all, I put up the curtains and the shelf myself :) . Hahah! I'm handy now! I can actually operate a

So we've been fasting for a little over a week now. Having the first day or Ramadhan align with Sept 1st makes it easy for me to remember things :) All in all, it's been a trying first week. I mean, we *just* came out of summer, so the days are still longer than the nights. It's pretty damn annoying to have to wake up at 4am because you have stop eating at 5am. Then there's the waiting for sunset

I've just finished reading this book (well, actually I finished it two days ago), and i gotta say, for such a small book, it sure packs a punch. It certainly got me feeling a lot of emotions: anger, sadness, mortification.... and acceptance.I've accepted a long time ago that I'm not perfect, and I kinda left it at that. I'm not perfect, and I make mistakes. What I haven't accepted was the fact

As some of you might know, I'm currently one of the user researchers for Live Search (www.live.com). It's a tall order in trying to compete with Google as the primary search destination, but I feel like we're making really goo, solid strides towards in. To celebrate the Olympics, we have been changing the image on our homepage daily. Unfortunately, if you're in Malaysia, and you're keeping the

So I moved to Seattle about a month ago to start my super cool job with Microsoft. I'm officially a UX researcher for the Live Search UX team. Yay! I'm so excited, it's been a long, hard road to get here and I feel so blessed :) . Now that I'm here though, I gotta admit the transition is tough :( . From being in school to being in the corporate environment... it's just vastly different. I'm lucky

PANCAKES GALORE So this morning, I attmpted to make pancakes. Needless to say, they were less than stellar. Some of them were too big, others too small, but all of them were flat. At least they taste good, which matters most in my opinion. Maybe the recipe was meant to make crepes rather than pancakes, I dunno. But the blueberries I put in didn't planned didn't come out the way I wanted either.

THE REJECTED H1B EXPERIENCESo I was supposed to start working in Redmond, WA this coming week (August 20th, to be exact). Unfortunately, my H1B visa didn't come through due to the immigration cap, so I am, essentially, screwed. Or am I...? Apparently I'll be going to Vancouver for 6 months, beginning in May, and I'll be there for quite a while. In fact, I might have to go there even earlier than

Just because some parts were *painful*. Safiyya, Arinah, David and I watched it on the day it came out a few weeks ago. The theatre was so packed, we couldn't all sit together. The movie itself was so-so for me.

Asslamu'alaikum...Omigod omigod omigod... so today I was walking down South U, on my way back from class, when I saw this guy, who was wearing a suit, pacing in near a bus stop infront of China Gate. First of all, it was a bit weird to be wearing a suit when it's freezing outside, and it's not that often you see a suited guy pacing in front of a chinese restaurant. So I glanced at him and then

Assalamu'alaikum..... Only 3 more weeks before I go back to Michigan, and I have to say, never have I wanted to not leave a place as much as I do Washington. It's been... quite a ride. The first time I really, really appreciate the "work hard, play hard" philosophy. During the weekdays, it's constant running to meetings and interviews. During the weekends, there's always something new to do.A

BILL GATES’ SUMMER INTERN BBQAssalamu’alaikum….. Work has been piling up in the worse way these last few days, again, I went from slow to omigod-that’s-fast mode in the shortest time possible. The silver lining? Bill Gates’ intern BBQ yesterday, which me and Anna and a couple hundred other interns attended. His house is HUGE. Massive, in fact. And we probably saw only 10% of his house.

Assalamu’alaikum….. Note to self: never go to the gym after a night of hookah. Or maybe the note should just read “Never go on a hookah night again”. If you don’t know what a hookah is, you’re better off (no, it’s not weed, do some more guessing. This is totally legal). Dan put together a nice lil’ outing group of Microsoft interns and we went to Zaina’s for food and hookah. Yummm..

Assalamu’alaikum…. I have a one-pager due for my questionnaire. If I screw up on the sub projects, it’s still forgivable, but this is my major project for the summer. They hired me specifically to work on the questionnaire thingamajiggy. If I ever want to come back and work for the company, I better not screw this one up. But I’m having a bit of a mental block with this particular

Assalamu’alaikum…… Today didn’t go exactly as I planned. I got in to work at about 8.20am, which isn’t bad considering we have flex hours, but it would’ve been nice to come in extra early when it was quiet and just try and get most of my work done, cause after lunch time, I’m sluggish, and I just don’t wanna do anything. Then I had a meeting where I got lost trying to find the room, then

Assalamu’alaikum….Haven’t updated my entries for some time now, been really busy with work and stuff. After the interns’ orientation, it was straight to work for all of us. In my case, it involves reading questionnaires and usability reports, which mostly isn’t that bad, but I just get lost in the stuff that I’ve never heard of. On the plus side, I have more of an indication about my Big Project

Assalam'alaikum..... I'm in Seattle!!! I arrived yesterday, at 11.30am Pacific time. Unfortunately, they didn't have my room ready yet, so me and a few other people had to camp out in the key pickup lobby until 3pm. Luckily, one of us had the bright idea of ordering Chinese for lunch. Yummm.... Chinese food. I was pretty bummed at first about having to wait in the lobby, but luckily enough, it

Assalamu'alaikum.... It's 6.15am, Tuesday morning, less than 24 hours ago I just got back from Wisconsin, at 9.30am today I'll be on my way to Seattle, WA. Needless to say, tired nak rak. Less than 2 hours sleep last night, migraine in the car the night before. Thanks so much to Zaimi and Napi for driving the whole night yesterday, kalau tak hari ni sure stok yg cam nak makan orang penat

Assalamu'alaikum..... Okay, so apparently now I'm gonna start at Microsoft on the 31st... and going to the Midwest Games. It's like moving from one extreme to another, one minute I have nothing to do, next minute tetibe byk lah plak bendenye. Gi Wisocnsin on Friday, balik Monday, fly out to Seattle on Tuesday, start work on Wednesday. Ugh.On the plus side, I'm flying to Seattle first class.

Okay, so right now I'm mad. I've been basically working on packing up my stuff for one week straight now, and today is the last day I have to finish up all my packing, and I'm STILL finding crap around my house. Worse or all, they're not even MY crap. I'm just so mad right now, I'm downright seething. Nak buang, bukan barang sendiri. But there's just so mauch stuff that people randomly leave at

Okay, so my last post was like barely 10 minutes ago, but I was bored so I decided to watch some TV. Vanessa Minnillo was on MTV, looooove her. She's so hot! Gorgeous, gorgeous woman. I want her hair, her lips, her skin, her body.... basically I just wanna be her. Lol. She is an absolute hottie! Obeserve:I also have a soft spot for France's rugby team. The players are .... emmm.... drool-worthy.

Assalamu'alaikum...Wah, celake betul, credit card dah max out. How the hell did that happen??? Oh wait... I know.... I spent like crazy in Seattle during the interview.... then I spent some more buying shoes... then some more buying clothes. Dude I got to stop spending so much. So it's off to Marshall's and Briarwood Mall to return the shoes I bought. Damn damn damn. Maybe I can return some other

Assalamu'alaikum....I'm officially spending my summer in Seattle!! Woohooo!! I'm so happy. The day that I got my offer letter was the weirdest day of my life, honestly. My mood went from an absolute low to an all time high :) . Here's what happened. I had my offer from the "Small Company" (which shall remain nameless for now) on the table, but I was still waiting for the Big Company because after

Assalamu'alaikum......I'm so confused right now, I hate when I have to make tough decisions like this... and I'm not even out of school yet! I have one good offer on the table, but what I really want is to work with the bigger company (the subject of my obsession... see pervious post). Don't get me wrong, the small company sound great, the project sounds really cool and I would get really

FULL DAY MICROSOFT INTERVIEWAssalamu'alaikum.....The title of this post says it all... I've finished a full day of interview at Microsoft. Wow. I can't believe I actually got this far, it seems so surreal. I've never been one of those people who just... get things. I never was one those people who gets to go and have interviews with Intel or IBM or Apple or of course, Microsoft. So for me to

Assalamu'alaikum....I'm curently in Seattle, trying very hard not to freak out for tomorrow's interview. Also, I'm meeting up with Didee, Nizam and the baby (yes, there's a baby) for dinner. Dinner should be fun, and I hope the interviews would be fun, too. Hopefully I don't psych myself out too much.

I can't believe it's already been 2 semesters of me in SI.... it felt like yesterday I was still negotiating with the admissions office regarding my scholarship and now I'm almost halfway done.

Much ado were made a while back about Muslim's celebrating the holiday, though there are so many conflicting stories about the origin of the celebration, who really knows what's right .

I tried keeping my answers as vague as possible 'cause I don't want to explicitly embarrass anybody, but I guess the incident was public enough

Assalamu'alaikum....My life.. when it's boring, nothing happens. Nothing. When it gets interesting, it got to be a little too interesting for my liking. Take for example, my Evaluation of Systems class. See, I LOVE that class. Before this, I wasn't sure what I wanted to do with my life. But now I know.

PROGRESS REPORT: DAY 2 IN DCAssalamu'alaikum.... Well here I am, day 2 of my mini-internship. Last night after work, Linda and I were really tired from our first day of work, so after watching CSI for about an hour, we were debating between walking around in the cold to the White House or just staying in for the night. Well, we decided that the White House might be too far to walk to in the cold

CURRENT LOVE : THE CHLOE PADDINGTON BAGI'm a big believer in one bag for all occasions. Unfortunately, I never had a big budget for bags, and my favorites always end up in shreds (broken straps, hole on bottom etc.). It's extremely frustrating. I've always wanted that perfect, perfect bag where it's big enough that I can put all my junk in it, yet stylish enough so that I don't look like a bag

BOWING OUT OF MY PERFORMANCE :( Assalamu'alaikum....This is a sad, sad day for me :( . Boo hoooo......!! I have just emailed Mbak Yulisa and Mbak Tera saying that due to schedule conflicts, I would not be able to perform in this Saturday's gamelan performance. I'm sad, I do love performing and the thrill of being on stage, dancing and showcasing something that we've been painstakingly practicing

First Day of ClassAssalamu'alaikum.... Baru cuti sekejap, dah start kelas. Today is my first day of class, pretty interesting if somewhat packed. This is going to be a hard semester because all of my classes are project oriented (due to my very conscious desire of wanting an internship). This semester I'm taking:SI 502: Choice and LearningSI 503: Search and RetrievalSI 622: Evaluation of

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME :)(on the left: Nik's red lillies.... gorgeous!)Assalamu'alaikum.....Look at what Nik got me for my birthday!! Red lillies and a cute card to go with it! Afzan got me a beautiful pair of pink earrings, while Wann got me this really gorgeous black handbag from Express. Bulan treated me to a bowling game (much thanks :) ) afterwards. After what, you may ask? Lemme start my day

Assalamu'alaikum.... Nyahaha.... I haven't updated in a really, really long time. One month, in fact. Been really busy lately, school has been weird. There's presentations, projects, proposals and of course, final exams. I also had Nik, Wann and Kirah's graduation to go to, which was last Sunday. It was alright, I guess, unfortunately I can't attest to that much because I came a bit

HAPPY TURKEY DAYAssalamu'alaikum.....Today's Thanksgiving... Happy Thanksgiving Day to all who celebrate it. Aihhh... it's so freakin' cold outside, I really don't wanna go anywhere. Think I'm just gonna stay home and leave the turkey eating to other people. Me too sleepy to do anything.... ni pun baru sgt bangun.Lepas bangun, check email, pastu ade org mesej kat Friendster.

Takde nak terkejar-kejar pegi kelas, pegi keje, pegi group meeting, pegi ntah hape-hape ntah lagik. Bertuah punye Michigan, elok-elok cuti baru nak start, terus snow. Ambek ko, tak kasi can langsung.

Assalamu'alaikum.... I don't undestand. I don't understand why. I don't know what to think, what to feel, how to act, how to react. One minute I was dancing and bowling and loving myself and my life, the next minute years of friendship went down the tube, and over what? A misunderstanding? The phone not working? Me not calling back right when I'm supposed just because I was distracted? I don't

Assalamu'alaikum..... It's 3.40 am on a Saturday... I have just gotten back from bowling with my fellow SI-ans and Nik, who was more excited about bowling than I was. Originally I didn't wanna go 'cause I really, really wanted to go out dancing, but I'm glad I went 'cause the bowling alley was shakin', LoL. I saw my groupmate, Kaveri and her husband there. Libby, my GSI, was also there. It was

GRAD SCHOOL IS HARD!!!!Assalamu'alaikum.....I am at work, half-asleep and going completely insane. Why? Because I slept at 6.30 am today, had class at 9am, then it was off to work from 11.30am to 2pm. And if you even THINK that my day is going to be over right afterwards, you are seriously wrong because at 4pm, I have dance class. Whoop-da-dee.Things didn't go quite as planned this morning. I had

Hampeh tol, there goes my multitude of updates....Last weekend was Halloween.... well actually today is officially Halloween, but that's just a minor technicality.

MICHIGAN (27) vs. PENN. STATE (25)I have never, ever been so happy to be at a game. It was.... awesome. Even looking back at it, man, it was just... awesome. "Awesome" wouldn't exactly be the perfect word to describe everything that happened on Saturday's game against PSU, but it would be the perfect word to use to describe that one last, miraculous, highly unprobable second.Never mind Henne

Assalamu'alaikum.... Nyahaha... I'm getting pretty regular about the whole updating thing now that Fall Break is coming near. Unfortunately, I'm updating in class (never a good idea to put me in front of a fully working computer). Just read an email from Ayun. I'm okay, dearie, thanks for asking. Ayun was worried about my mental well-being 'cause I've been acting like a basket case lately.

Assalamu'alaikum..... I'm taking a five-minute break from my homework just to rest my hands a bit, my finger has this pencil identation that came about from holding my pencil for too long. So I decided to abuse my fingers another way: by typing in random stuff to update my blog. Nik has just finished being an absolute meanie to me... as usual. "Sorry I'm busy" said in an unapologetic voice

Assalamu'alaikum..... Selamat Berpuasa :) !!!! May Ramadhan brings us many many many blessings, cherished memories and a chance to redeem ourselves and come out better people. Honestly, me head (and tummy) has not registered that it's the fasting month. Hopefully this year I'll be able to do better than I did before this. Yesterday was interesting in a bad way. Today was interesting in a bad

Grad classes are killing me, and with the drama that has been surrounding my work place lately... well let's just say even if you are.. ermm.. mentally challeneged, if you can drive a car or operate heavy machinery, then I can still whoop your ass whenever you start acting like a spoiled, sick little jerk.

Assalamu'alaikum.... Hmmm.... orientation's done.... met a lot of new people, which is cool :). My student account is finally settled (sorta), I've registered for classes, met with some of my future professors, and things are really beginning to shape up. I have a new job lined up for the semester at Baits, but I'm really going to miss working at Pierpont. Today was my last day, boo hoo.... (

Assalamu'alaikum....... I miss Sharron Wenzel. She's this really nice lady who works in the North Campus International Center who has been nothing but kind to me. I adore her to bits. Sharron had her operation on Monday and she's right now recuperating until mid-September. I miss her a lot, it's not the same walking past the IC and not seeing her at her desk. You'll always be in my prayers,

Assalamu'alaikum.....A lot of things has happened over the weekend, not to me personally but just in general. Last night the Detroit Pistons lost to the San Antonio Spurs 95-96 (if I remember correctly, somebody should check the papers for me). Dennis and I didn't watch it 'cause we wanted to catch the Spiderman 2 showing at Top of The Park, but Dennis kept tabs on the score through his cell

Assalamu'alaikum....Yesterday Angela took me to Detroit after letting me shop at 12 Oaks for about 2 hours. As I got out of the car, sh told "Don't you go buying anything now, get some nice lunch". My response... "Are you kidding?". I haven't had a shopping mall all to myself for quite a few months now. Since I only 2 hours, I basically had to do sme power shopping, the same technique I use

Assalamu'alaikum.....I've been having a miserable couple of days lately. Uncertainty about life, in general, is never good. Uncertainty about what the hell am I gonna do if funding doesn't come through is downright killing me. I have a paper to write, a letter to compose, a program to clean up.... and here I am, updating my journal. Figures.After many unsuccessful attempts to "obtain" songs from

Assalamu'alaikum.... It's 2.25am, and I still can't sleep. Uh-oh.... I can NOT miss work tomorrow. Anyway, today was pretty packed for me with trying to finalize some documents, kickboxing and of course, DDR. However, after kickboxing today, Ayun and I ditched butts 'n gutts and decided to do some retail therapy instead at Briarwood Mall. I came out with two new spaghettis and one printed top.

Assalamu'alaikum.....I GOT INTO GRAD SCHOOL!!! Woohooooo!!!!!I was extremely happy to get the admission letter ("conditional", I still have to provide a few stuff). It's from the School of Information, and it's right here at the University of Michigan, and the program is currently rated second best in the States. So I'm gunning for a Master of Science in Information. I was so happy yesterday that

Assalamu'alaikum.... Dang, I'm getting pretty regular about updating my blog ... even tho I actually have nothing to report, LoL. Yesterday's kickboxing was pretty lame, but the Butts and Gutts class really kicked my butt. The instructor was screaming and doing all these stuff that I am very sure is not very good for my back, hahah, but I sweated like a pig in a sauna. It was BAKING yesterday,

Assalamu'alaikum..... Okay, so this big ol' pipe on Plymouth Rd managed to blow up, and now we have low pressured water all around North Campus, which basically sucks because it really puts a damper on things like, say, taking a dump. Takleh cebok. Anyway, because the watermain broke, the tap water is no longer drinkable, so now we have to boil water. It's like Malaysia all over again. What

Assalamu'alaikum.... First of all.... just wanna say... forget about what I wrote previously. LoL. I was being waaaaaaayyyyy too optimistic. Things can feel fine one minute and the next, you're suddenly reminded why you were really miserable before. So you can either be mature and act like it doesn't bother you, or you can be human and let it go in your own time. Being human is easier, LoL. I

Assalamu'alaikum....Midwest weekend, and I will be here in Ann Arbor instead of galivanting in UIUC with my friends. Nobody's gonna be here, place will be almost deserted .... bliss. It's not that I don't like people in general, but sometimes you need some privacy that extends beyond your bedroom. When it's sunny, Northwood is absolutely beautiful, and I can't wait to have a day to myself this
