A long day.

I was driving to Putrajaya to buy some kuih muih  at Baker's Cottage for mengaji petang ini. I was in a rush, n there were no parking space left. Since i thot those who parked must hv left for Solat Jumaat, i simply blocked 3 cars n rushed to Baker's Cottage to get some Macau egg tarts n black pepper chicken pie. In less than 15mins, i was ready to leave since i've got all the kuihs n i'm aware that i was blocking 3 cars. To my horror, the car can't start. I panicked. I called mama, n she din picked up at first. I called ayah. Luckily,he is on his way to sekolah adik2, so it won't take long i realized ...so while waiting for him,i tried to stay calm.i opened the bonnet, ketuk2 the battery n tried to restart the car. Nutting changed of coz. That's when i realized Malaysians are very helpful and friendly. Many asked me what happened. Some tried to help. Even the pakcik whose car i'm blocking pon x marah. Then my dad arrived. Tho he cn't do much pon, i'm still glad he's there. Ayah called mama n she came with a Chinese Mechanic. The battery is changed and it costs mama RM200.(the battery has funny name haha..)
Balik mengaji ptg td, i forgot my specs (it's in my luggage coz i'm supposed to go back on the 26th remember?) n it was raining heavily outside. Even the wiper cn't help. Dhla Jln Ampang jam mcm sgt dahsyat tu..n it ws maghrib....haha..
hmm, i had a long day n need to catch some sleep now. Gdnite!

Selamat Mengundi

In the spirit of general election day, not only i saw posters n flags all around town..i also received text messages and emails with the word undi in it...n i often find myself in the middle of political discussions either with friends or families.It's hard to stay atas pagar when it comes to such discussions i realized...Tho i'm not yet eligible to vote, i do hv my own views on what's happening...but i'm aware that such views are unsafe to be made public. Since everyone had enuf of election commercials these days (esp those in Msia), lets take a break with a joke i received from a friend.

While walking down the street one day a Malaysia Boleh Minister is tragically hit by a truck and dies.
His soul arrives in heaven and is met by an angel at the entrance.

"Welcome to heaven," says the angel.
"Before you settle in, it seems there is a problem.We seldom see a high official around these parts, you see, so we're not sure what to do with you."
"No problem, just let me in," says the man.
"Well, I'd like to, but I have orders from higher up. What we'll do is have you spend one day in hell and one in heaven. Then you can choose where to spend eternity."

"Really, I have made up my mind. I want to be in heaven," says the Yang Berhormat

"I'm sorry, but we have our rules," says the angel.

And with that, the angel escorts him to the elevator and he goes down, down, down to hell. The doors open and he finds himself in the middle of a green golf course. In the distance is a clubhouse and standing in front of it are all his friends and other politicians who had worked with him.Everyone is very happy and dressed in the finest batik there is.They run to greet him, shake his hand,and reminisce about the good times they had while getting rich at the expense of the people. They play a friendly game of golf and then indulge themselves on lobsters, caviar and the most expensive food there is.

Also present is the devil, who really is a very friendly guy who has a good time dancing and telling jokes. They are having such a good time that before he realizes it, it is time to go.Everyone gives him a hearty farewell and waves while the elevator rises.

The elevator goes up, up, up and the door reopens on heaven where the angel is waiting for him.

"Now it's time to visit heaven."

So, 24 hours pass with the Yang Berhormat joining a group of contented souls moving from cloud to cloud, playing the harp and singing. They have a good time and, before he realizes it, the 24 hours have gone by and the angel returns.

"Well, then, you've spent a day in hell and another in heaven. Now choose your eternity."

The Yang Berhormat reflects for a minute, then he answers:
"Well, I would never have said it before, I mean heaven has been delightful, but I think I am better off in hell."

So the angel escorts him to the elevator and he goes down, down,down to hell. Now the doors of the elevator open and he's in the middle of a barren land covered with waste and garbage.

He sees all his friends, dressed in rags, picking up the trash and putting it in black bags as more trash falls from above.

The devil comes over to him and puts his arm around his shoulder.
"I don't understand," stammers the Yang
Berhormat. "Yesterday I was here and there was a golf course and clubhouse, and we
ate lobster and caviar, drank champagne,and danced and had a great time. Now
there's just a wasteland full of garbage and my friends look miserable.
What happened?"
The devil looks at him, smiles and says,"Yesterday we were
campaigning just like you during an election.... .. Today you voted."

SO VOTE WISELY IN THE COMING ELECTION haha..

On a night like this.

Last two days i was busy packing and repacking to make sure i din leave anytg out, n 2day i'm still home haha... i was supposed to go back last tuesday, but then i received a msg from Nadee saying they din mind if i extended my hols since they've renewed our road tax n stufs..n she said even if i go back there's nutting much to do since semester starts on da 10th n we will only move out after 21st march...i told mama immediately n i said i wanted to go back on 6th or 7th..but the only C-class available is on the 9th... so ppl, i'm going back to Sydney on the 9th...which means, i cn witness the election day yeay!! The funny part is, i've said my goodbyes to all aunties, uncles n cousins... we even had a big fmly dinner last weekend for me..n yet i'll still be here for another 10 days haha.. 

While i was searching for my notebook, i found friendship ribbons given by my INTEC friends last 2 years.So cute la..

There are names on the ribbons.
DJ,Mcau,Fatt,Dora,Mango,Po0n,Shayz,Pau,Shahir,Lutfi,Red and Atuk. I wonder what u guys r doing at this very moment. ;)

 

What if you know you're dying tomorrow?

Syukri Aut: wut if u noe u're dying tomorrow??
My friend asked. The question scares me..i immediately close the article i was reading. The article is about travelling.I cn't answer his question.i've given some thoughts, but failed. But the question made me realized what i love in life (things like travelling,good spa n good food) is not important at all when i know my life is about to end.
The conversation continues.........
Syukri Aut: tgk ni- "To laugh often and love much; to win the respect of intellingent people and the affection of children; to earn the approbation of honest citizens and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to give of one's self; to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to have played and laughed with enthusiasm and sung with exultation; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived - this is to have succeeded."
...n i guess my answer is : To leave the world a bit better.

Sunday Syndrome

I went to Alamanda with mama today to keep myself busy thinking abt smtg i cn't help thinking if i'm left companyless.
We bought stufs to bring back to Sydney.Alamanda always gives me this one feeling... "Sunday syndrome" i once call it. Y sunday? bcoz i was a residential school student n our monthly overnight ends on Sunday...I'll b very moody the day i hv to balik sekolah..i'll be very grumpy the whole day,i'll feel so ugly like an old-white-soggy-overboiled cabbage n wish i dun hv to balik sekolah..(but dun get me wrong, i love my life at SSP,INTEC n UNSW juge..i just hate to leave the comfort of home)..The syndrome is worse than PMS i tell u! i thot once i left SSP i'll get ovr it...but i was wrong. The syndrome followed me to Intec n to Syndey as well...Isk.. i vowed to nvr leave home dah once i've finished my degree..i've had enuf of homesick-ness.I want to do my Master at the nearest uni from my hse so that i cn  ulang alik mcm mase bulan puasa dkt Intec...n when i grow up, i want to buy a house dkt dgn my parent's house....THEN I"LL BE THE HAPPIEST PERSON TO INHABIT THE PLANET!!

p/s: i miss my other half so badly!!He who left me for Wellington.

To my only reader,

Org Po0n-ting,
i'm supposed to sleep super early 2nite coz i'm going to Penang 2mrw..what keeps me awake is bcoz i still hvn't figured out wut to wear. isk...i've been shopping my whole life n yet i still end up with absolutely nothing good to wear. :( i wanted to wear my fav black baju but i've worn it twice with u, then i thot of wearing that green baju but i recalled wearing it with u to the Gardens.n i'm too fat for my old stripy blouses...n T-shirts dun look good with my luggage.Y luggage u asked when it's just a ONE DAY shopping trip?ahaha...i hv my reasonssss...
Btw, while doing some ironing i suddenly realized i've missed Mai's departure day...Oh no...i've planned to send her off but i forgot....i'm aware that it's coming but i forgot when the real day comes.I remember writing it down somewhere while preparing Kotak Beracun for Big fmly gath on the 2nd n 3rd of Feb..but the notes doesn't helps. I'm such a bad friend!!
But the thot that i've managed to stop myself from doing smtg bad keeps me smiling before bed. I'm glad i told mama abt it before i decided to do it, i'm even more glad i din click "send"..u go girl!!
LBNL,i hv to sleep now..i dun wanna miss the flight!

p/s: syuk,i know u're busy hvg fun in PD, but my mum asked u to come over b4 pg Brunei.Trimas ;)  <---- just in case u're reading.

"Sorry i can't come"

It's been awhile.....fuh~the past few days were hectic. i had to cancel many plans to meet friends.I am very  very sorry and at the same time i appreciate their thoughts for inviting me to places tho i hv to decline most of the invitations :( n i truly appreciate the fact that some friends nvr serik to ajak despite the many "sorry,i cn't come" ..(my friends r the greatest!!!thanks for understanding. i will make it up to u guys if time permits) Frankly, i really cn't make it. Some ppl fake the word "busy" but not me.  But everthing will be worth it...i knew it coz i cn see it coming. yeay!;)
Btw, lately i realized many bloggers wrote abt V-day.Those in a relationship  wrote how their V-day's gonna be n singles wrote how to celebrate V-day the singles' way. Reading their plans reminds me of myself when i was single. I was a happy single.That was what i thought.Those day, i never knew what i'm missing, coz i'm always contented. I'm happy with my life,my circle of friends,my fmly,my evtg. I enjoyed receiving chocs,CDs,cards,prezzies n attention from friends n flings without hvg to be their date.I also enjoyed taking good care of myself.I thot that is what fun is.But then, i fall in love...n my definition of fun is upgraded.It feels a whole lot better to hv sum1 else other than my fmly to listen to me evday,to tolerate,n to understand.Sum1 who rewards me when i forgot to reward myself.Sum1 i dun hv to impress anymore haha... but nways, i dun celebrate 14th feb coz it's V-day. Since i cud remember,14th Feb is always Ayah's bday n dat is what makes the day so special all these years. So i still hv'nt missed the fun of dining out with fmly on dat day (like singles) n at da same time enjoy the fact that i will always hv an earlier date every year to celebrate a special day with my lover (who is now upgraded to being my soulmate).
Owh, i now hv less than a month before semester starts :( n i hv to maximise this final piece of hols left.I might be out of reach coz i'm going somewhere. well, those whom i want to contact knows how to contact me ;) Farewell ppl,i shall write again!
Toodles~
