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!

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.....

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...

WAAAAAA!!!! I MISSED IT!!!! MISSED IT!!!! MISSED IT!!!! Ade peluang nak lepas tensen nari and I f***in' missed it... adoi lah.....
Assalamu'alaikum....
What did I do today? NOTHING! Waah... best nye bile tak buat pape, hehe. Best best. Actuallynye, patut pindah comp hari nie from bilik Ayun gi bilik sendiri, tapi ade time conflict sket, hehehe. Pulok dah. Tatau kenape, hari nie punye pemalas nak keluar bilik. Kemas bilik pon baru half habes (then again that part is to be expected lah since I've never been that good bab-bab mengemas nie... it always takes me longer than org lain sampai most of the time, dah fed up pastu keluar joli sakan). Anyway, kesimpulannye... hari nie, tolak part yang melalak nyanyi lagu Siti pastu nari-nari to my "Boys + Girls" CD, I did abso-bloody-lutely nothing. Ahhh... bliss.
This sem I am going back to my first "love" : dancing. Muahaha... tersedak bebudak STF bace, sebab mase kat skolah dulu tembam macam gajah yang baru lepas tertelan hippo (kirenye gemuk lah tuh). Anyway, dah lame tak nari, since PPP dulu kot, mase grad night (nasib tak kantore ngan mak). This sem dah register dah nak amek ade satu kelas nie (course number omitted, hehe) khas untuk lepas gian nari. Pastu, ntah camane ntah, tadi terjebak amek satu lagi kelas. Haaa... kelas nie bakal diambil bersama-sama seorang budak yang ade describe die as "comel lote" (hopefully lah). Waduh dong. Kalau by akhir sem nie tak susut gak, dah tatau dah nak buat ape. Ngeheheh....
Tadi, macam biase, mandi petang shampoo rambut. Pastu dah lepas mandi, dok lepak tgk tv jap. Rambut dah half kering baru teringat, lupe nak letak leave-in conditioner. Gabra kejap sebab bayor mahal nak seterika rambut, kang tak pasal-pasal die kembang balik ke, ape ke. So lari-lari masuk toilet apply conditioner, then tetibe gelak sorang-sorang. Baru realize yang sekarang nie boleh lah nak risau mende-mende remeh camtuh (rambut okay tak, baju matching tak, perfume dah pakai blom...), nanti kelas dah setat, kalau still dapat mandi 2 kali sehari pon dah kire untung dah tuh. *Sigh*.... apsal lah gatal-gatal amek CS, jadi budak catering ke, mass comm ke kan senang. Heheh.. mengamuk budak mass comm org cakap camtuh, ampun yer Koya...
Anyway, ade org tuh fEat. (feat dot... heheh) die hari nie. Perform elok-elok cuzzy wuzzy, bangge aku ade kazen yang bakal famous. To kawan aku yang audition Astro sesame hari tuh, dah dapat reply lom? Muahaha.... at least one of us gets to be on tv bebeh....
Okkeh, dah habes merapu. Me go to sleep now, later peeps.
Wassalam....

p/s: lupe lak... tukar lagu.. one of my old faves amek from comp Teh... sometimes people do feel that way :)

Assalamu'alaikum....
Ngahahahaha... first blog since kaki jejak balik bumi bertuah Michigan. Nyahahah (gelak setan). Baru balik from Maijer Madness... mmg "madness" sebab sume org yang pegi tuh sure mereng balik umah... ramai sgt org kat situ. Nak bergerak susah betul. Kalau bukan sebab tambang free, takde keje aku nak gie shopping tgh2 rush ramai org mase tuh. Ish ish ish...
Hmm.. nak dibuat cerite, hari nak balik tuh, flight kene retime, from 9.30 am jadik 10.15 am. Org yang kat counter (it was a mamat, so you can imagine what's coming up next, stoooooopid asshole) tuh dengan penuh konfidennye pegi cakap "Alah, sempat nie nak kejar connecting flight. Tak payah risau". Heeii.. kalau dapat lah jumpe mamat tuh lagi, akan ku cekik-cekik lehernya sampai mati dong. Tak gune betul. Mane tak, flight took off dekat nak 10.30 am, then landing-landing je, dah terlepas connecting flight. Adegan paling best: bile pegi kat Northwest punye ticketing counter and die gitau "The next flight out is at 10.40 pm"... that was 7 hours away. 7 HOURS!!!! Die nak suruh aku park my butt kat mane? Mase tuh muke dah pucat dah. So lepas bug Kirah byk2 kali with numerous phone calls gitau flight delay and mintak phone number budak USC, I slept on a bench depan all the world to see for 2 hours straight, then gie shopping kat duty free beli a box of Godiva chocolates yang tgh 30% off (bile things dah so f***ed up camtuh, you need to splurge on something... at least I do lah heheh...). Pastu makang fish fillet kat Burger King, bace buku cerite, akhirnye 7 hours to berlalu jugak.
Sampai Detroit, amek cab (pokai aku USD42) sampai Ann Arbor around 7.30 am camtuh. Sebab office tak bukak lagik, pegi lah ketuk-ketuk pintu org tgk sape dah bangun. Nasib baik Bashir-Adlee bangun awal, boleh pinjam phone diorang call Ijat. Masuk bilek Ijat je, Ijat kate leh lepak kat Ayun nye futon.... and I was unconscious sampai lah pukol 5 petang camtuh. Nasib baik takleh solat mase tuh, I don't think I could've gotten up.
Anyway, by today dah masukkan most of my stuff dalam bilik baru (or lame, depending on how you want to think about it). hmm.. nanti kelas nak start dah, and right now homesick siket teringat family kat umah. Cedih...waa waa waa!!!
Okay habes dah sedih... Sept 1st nie (Monday I think) ade pre-class bash (*cue the 10% devil grin... nyahaha* ) Last year terlepas sebab tertido... this year I intend to GO!! Lepas geram before start kelas!
Okay, dah penat nulis. Later peeps! By the way, Sue purdue, if you're reading this, I miss you girl!! Email me your phone number ngan address kat purdue, aight?

Wassalam...

Assalamu'alaikum.....
Haiyak, feeling shitty betul now nie. It's only damn 8 in the morning and I'm already up after only going to sleep close to five o'clock last night. Must have been the coffee. Anyway, backtrack kejap. So my cuz Hann decided to pick me up and out of impulse, drive out to Genting, one of his usual places nak hang out. Well, for some reason, my hp and his both tak dapat reception after kol berape entah (it was fine earlier because Nabe called, and I could hear her just fine). So anyway, we borak-borak kat Starbucks tuh until we lost track of time. By the time I realize dah pukul berape, I risau jap sebab kat rumah, I never come back home at such an ungodly hour without calling first and bagitau where I was. True enough,dapat je reception on the drive back, my cuz dapat mesej from his mom saying that my mom called tanye I kat mane. Aiyo, I was close to freaking out already. So I called home then and there jugak, and sure enough, my mum tak tido lagik. *Sob*, now I'm feeling guilty nak mati actuallynye for worrying her, so I'm going to be extra good today (dunno how, but I will). Hann lah kesian, he got nervous jugak when my mum called his and I repeatedly said sorry sorry sorry... lupe plak that this isn't Michigan and tak boleh sukati nak keluar bile balik bile. But anyways, up until that fiasco, I was having a pretty good time actually doing nothing except borak (surprisingly). We were kinda freezing though, Genting time malam can get reaaaaallly cold, dah lah gatal tak bawak jacket. So lepas balik umah, I couldn't sleep, somy cuz called and sambung borak lagi sampai die ngantuk dulu andI told him to "go to sleep lah Hann".
Anyway, my day started innocently enough. Lepas naik angin sengsorang sebab takde BSN dekat-dekat my house, I blew off a king's ransom at this hair salon to get my hair permanently straighten. Those yang penah nampak my tresses can attest to the fact yang my hair jenis tebal and frizzy, susah nak manage. Well, there's this new hair treatment thing called Xtenso from L'Oreal, where if you apply the cream without ironing, it immedietly tames your mane, and kalau with ironing,you get pin straight hair. Since I wanted something yang easy to manage, yang I boleh just sikat, sumbat bawah tudung and go (rambut tebal, I pakai anak tudung pon kengkadang my hair still can stick out), I decided to have chopstick straight hair. Verdict: lepas 4 jam duduk kat kerusi salon, bayar the kind of money I did, nasib baik I like the effectvery, very much. And this lasts me up to a whole year, minimal care. So well worth the money for a one time thing, I think :) .
I am so, so bloody sleepy... dentist appointment kol 11 I think so I'm gonna force myself nak get some shut-eye. Later peeps.
Wassalam...
Assalamu'alaikum to people yang still membace... :) ...

Sorry for the long tak up date part, nie pon dah ade org tegur baru teringat nak update :P. Heheh... actuallynye baru balik from Pangkor semalam, vacation dengan my parents. Verdict: fun!! Nak gie snorkeling, tapi memandangkan my sis-in-law tgh pregnant, so takde org nak temankan. Boo-hoo.... so instead I did something yang boleh wat sorang-sorang and went jet-skiing instead. Muahaha.. duit habes manyak nak sewe but well-worth the money... up until the part yang tetibe habes minyak tgh jalan and I was stranded dekat dengan Pulau Raja. Haiyok.. mase tuh nervous Allah je lah yang tau, muahahahaha. Last-last kene tow balik ngan ade satu pakcik sampan nie. Muahaha... chett, cuti 3 hari pon dah ade dah mende2 merepek camnie jadik.
Okkeh, backtrack kejap to the day before berlepas gie Pangkor. It was Sunday, so being bored, I decided to book org back to back to take me out. Pagi tuh kemas umah, then petang gie shopping kat Mid Valley ngan Bie. Hehehe... best shopping ngan Bie, gie try out mende2 merepek, last-last I bougt a dress from Sommerset Bay yg tgh discount 20% (pink of course, my cousin dah usik-usik kate nak jadi Elle Woods lah plak, but what can I say, dress tuh kaler pink je ade, buat jadik baju raye), pastu pujuk Bie beli baju kaler purple nie which is really, realy nice. Bie nak rasmi baju nanti gitau org! Then Bie introduced me to Rotiboy, arguably the best bread I've tasted in a really long time. Sedap sedap, nyum nyum... rugi tak kenal awal-awal, selame-lame nie gie Mid Valley tatau pon roti tuh sedap.
That nite, my cousin Farhann bawak gie makan kat Monty's. Jakun me malam tuh first time merase escargot, selame-lame nie kalau my friends nak order I buat muke yucks, but Hann kate sedap, so try je lah. Hehe... mmg sedap, never thought snails can taste so good, but probably sedap because of the sauce lah kot. Very delish. Actuallynye kitorang makan slow sangat sebab lagi banyak borak, sampai that place dah nak tutup dah. Hehehe... sian kat waiters kat situ, kene overtime japs. After kitorang drive around KL, since according to Hann I'm "a saint" (wha..?), so die bawak gie tgk area yang bapuk slalu lepak pick up customers. All I can say is, it's amazing what plastic surgery can do. Body serious cantik, though kinda obvious jugak boobs tak authentic. Gilos, elok-elok jadi laki nak tukau jadi pompuan.
Something yang Hann showed me that nite kinda gave me fuel to drive myself to do better next semester. He brought me around area Ampang and Bukit Damansara, showing me all these big houses (some tuh masuk taraf mansion), yang ade underground parking and goodness knows how many cars. I told myself, I want that. The material stuff. The big house yang my parents can enjoy, the fast cars (Hann bawak kete macam maniac, nasib baik fun), the loads and loads of money so that I can buy whatever I want and my mum and dad pon tak yah nak keje penat-penat dah. Verdict: since I'm not a fan of marrying the rich (entah nak kawen entah tak) since it's not gonna be my money, so kene find a way to make it on my own. Heheh... "I have a dream...."
Balik malam tuh kol 12.30, terus packing, pagi-pagi besok tuh dah bertolak gie Pangkor dah. Sampai sane, kene bawak my nephew gie mandi kat pool sebab die freak out bile gie beach. Pulok dah. Mama ngan papa die amek gambar Ajiq jek, gambar Mak Su die haram jadah tadek, chett. Kitorang duduk kat banglo at Teluk Dalam Beach Resort. Verdict: Resort cantik, service not so good, buffet blah, tempat isolated sangat. Teluk Nipah, where I stayed at the last time I went to Pangkor with my friends, lagi best. Kat Teluk Dalam tuh, nak gie island hopping pon susah. First day tak buat pape sangat, second day kitorang gie shopping kat bandar ngan gie sight-seeing. Shopping normal stuff lah like ikan bilis and such, pastu sight-seeing , gie Dutch Fort and this place yang ade replika Tembok Besar Cina. Yang paling meriah time keluar tuh, sape lagi kalau tak budak kecik Ajiq. Padan muke die nanti bile dah ade adek, mengade sangat skang nie.
Balik bandar, me went jet-skiing. Hehe.. org lain slalu yang baru setat jet-ski nie main kat pantai jek, kite gie bawak kat open sea sampai nak gie Lumut dah. The only reason tak gie further sebab nampak sign senapang kat situ, so patah balik, naye je kang. Selame-lame nie tak penah tau jet-skiing can so much fun. Berbaloi duit, though I did get 10 bucks off sebab stranded tuh, heheh.
Last day, just balik kampung jap kat Bota Kanan, jumpe Opah Noh. Lame sgt tak balik, I think dah nak 2 tahun jugak lah. Rindu kampung.
Today, nak kene basuh baju and gie get my hair done (I think). Pape pon, I need to pack real soon. To AA people (Ann Arbor, NOT Alcohol Anonymous), see you guys in a few days :)!

Wassalam....

Hari nie bertungkus-lumus kemas stor, buang barang yang tamau ngan carik baju yang nak donate.Big acheivement lah kononnye kemas stor tuh, unfortunately stor ade 2. Tak larat dah lepas kemas 1.
Anyways, semalam gie jumpe my father's older brother. I think it was last winter yang die kene stroke, he looked really frail. Lain sgt die skang nie compared to my memory of him, he used to be so full of life. Semalam tak boleh nak stay lame sgt sebab his wife kene gie hospital to visit her father, but I did manage to see my cousins. Diorang nye family terbalik with mine, where you have 2 girls and one boy,and the boy is , naturally, the youngest (and the one I'm closer to ). Tgk the second girl tuh, who's now 30 I think, rasenye perfect sgt die. She's extraordinarily beautiful, with long waist-length straight hair that's shiny black, flawless complexion, amazing smile and perfect figure (kite nie, buat pembedahan plastik ke, pembedahan besi ke, pembedahan nylon pon, takkan nye rupe cam die). Kalau bukan sebab petite, dah lame dah kot jadi model. As it is, she's doctor, even better. Family kaye nak mampos, rumah ade due tige and sume banglo. Mak datuk aih, kirenye sape yang kawen ngan my cousin tuh beruntung gile. Which brings forth the question "ade bf tak die?". Answer: nope. Huh? Pelik, package lengkap, kawin belum lagik. Then I found out sume2 tuh by her own choice, malas nak kawen dulu kot. Which makes me salute her even more. Independent women are so appealing.
But she's not the one I'm closest to. I get along better ngan adek die, for some unknown reason. Nak kate byk sgt mende in common, tak jugak. In fact, our lives are totally different. "US didn't change you at all, did it? You're still a saint " die cakap. Hahaha... oh boy, I guess comparatively ye lah kot, though I don't feel that way. I'm guessing we get along well sebab he would tell me all this stuff and I don't faint, or "cramp his style". And he get's the fact that I can be critical but it's only because I care. Anyway, it was good catching up with my cousin, die perangai gile siot.
As usual when I go there, I would come back RM100 richer. Big deal considering the Megal Sale, heheh.
Darn, my nephew needs a bath.

GEGAMBAR GENTING

Haaa... memakcik yang dah lame bising pasal tadek gambar, amek ko bawah nie..


Al-kisah kat KL Sentral tempat mule trip. Ade 5 orang: Farah, Aaliyah (Elle/Koya), Syikin, Intan (Riri--geli jek) nagn ade Elle, Nabilah. Dalam gambar nie (from left, me, koya, syikin, intan) ade koya tukang amek gambar.


first picture taken bile sampai kat Genting


Gambar depan rollercoaster, hehehe.... Tuh yang kene penyek ngan Intan tuh adek Koya


makang kat Burger King lepas penat main, hehehehe. Favorite gambar sume org sebab lighting "cantik" (translate: suram so nampak memasing "sweet" semacam)


Squad Pemanah Warga Tua Malaysia Tahun 2050


Gaye je lebey, kene tengah sekali jek! Siot tol!


Haaa... nie aksi Koya takde keje gie amek gambar senirik.


Fun-Kart baby! This is me zooming by in my green kart. Picture curtesy of Syikin-Reuters.


Last ride of the day! Sebelah tuh Koya nagn Nabilah

Haaa... nie ha a few pics. Pueh ati?

Assalamu'alaikum?

Above are just a few of the pictures that I promised my friends that I would upload. Heheh.. all the others are within my custody ( nanti aku pass kat korang ek, tatau camane, tapi nanti aku pass ek.. ).

Today Yanie and I went shopping, our first day of raiding Mid Valley Megamall. Aaahh?K I love the Malaysia Carnival Sale. Emm, but today, dari pagi sampai ke petang penuh ngan trials and tribulations. Mane tak, pagituh, before org gie mandi, all the men of house sume ade kat umah. Bile org dah habes mandi je and need a ride gie LRT, alih-alih sume ilang. My hopes yang my second brother tinggalkan kete so I don't have to take a cab and naik LRT were dashed bile tengok kete takde. Aish, susahnye lah bile share kete ngan org keje nie. Nak tanak kene naik cab, gie LRT and tunggu Yanie kat stesen. Kite pulak tersalah timing, last-last tersampai awal and kene tunggu kat stesen for about 20 minutes. Hehe?.. kirenye Yanie dah balas dendam ler nie for having to wait for me bersiap selame nie.

Akhirnye bile sampai kat Mid Valley, thank goodness takde pape mende merepek jadik. Ooh.. jumpe Baini ngan bf die (Baini pakai baju kurung ayu siot!) . Shopping ngan Yanie best, sebab same-same sakan masuk keluar kedai, same-same paham bile kite tanye ?§Baju nie okey tak??¨ (translate: baju nie tangan die panjang sangat ke, cutting padan ngan badan tak , kaler tak kusam sangat tapi tak meriah cam nak gie sambut *toot toot* tak, baju nie panjang sangat ke, baju nie pendek sangat ke, agak-agak kalau pakai baju nie orang tengok semacam tak? )?K.or kalau try seluar, ?§Seluar nie okay tak??¨ (translate: pakai seluar nie bontot nampak besar tak?). Heheh.. Yanie nie one of my few friends yang boleh celen kite shopping, same-same vain, but of course die lagi lawa :).

Malangnye, mase nak balik tuh, ade lagi satu "trial" that I had to go through. Call Yong kesayangan mase tgh tunggu bas (lame tak borak, saje je), but I got more news than I bargained for. Hmm.. Takpelah, some things you just can't run from, dah lah dunie nie kecik je, hopefully time will heal all wounds, kan? Pusing-pusing keliling tuh jugak. But until then, I accept dan redha dengan the fact that some things will sting, kalau tak then when I find that pot of gold at the rainbow, I won't know how to appreciate it, tak gitu?

Oooohh...Farah's favorite things: top/shirts by Nicole (cantik), and riz:reni facial products. Alhamdulillah....riz:reni, where have you been all my life? Pakai seminggu je dah nampak difference yang amat sgt, all though it'll be a long time still for my skin to clear up completely, at least I don't look like I'm carrying the map to the Himalayas on my face. Ooh, and one more favorite thing: Cleopatra's Demodex Cream, so great for spot treatments, just letak kat places yang agak-agak nak ade jerawat so that dietak sempat nak "jadi". *Sigh*?...balik Michigan nie, no more mandi lulur, no more facials, no more treatments, no more inexpensive haircuts?....

Tadi Sue call ("peminat setie blogger ko?" die cakap). Die balik Sabtu nie. Best catching up stuff ngan die. Miss Sue sangat sangat sangat .....jgn lupe visit org kat Ann Arbor bebeh?....
My nephew kesayangan dah buat muke nakal, time to layan die "praktis?" wrestling (kecik-kecik dah pandai body slam org, papa die punye keje lah ajar )?... Wassalam..

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 …..
