    Newsflash. Your day just cannot get any worse than this.

    First you vomitted in the morning but carried on fasting simply because "do not want to waste" the fast. And then you come home only to realise that your bloody (pun intended) best friend has decided to pay you a rather early visit. The timing couldn't be better. geewhiz.

    After settling down, you decide to catch up on all the news on the net that you've beeing missing out on. You come across a page, belonging to a former boyfriend. You read on with a concentration so immense. You're interested in knowing what he has been up to these days and how's life treating him so far. You know, just to see if your life's at least a little better than others'. Happily, you read on. And BHAM! There you have it. You feel like everything you're worth just plummeted down to levels so low a magnitude, you're really nothing better than the bacteria that feeds on the scum that grows on the fungi (if that actually made any sense at all).

    You broke up more than a year ago with a person whom you felt wasn't the one you wanted to be with. After 3 years. To break up with a person after 3 years was a tough thing to do but you had to do what you had to do. But that was it. You didn't want to be with him because you didn't want to be with him or anyone for that matter. It wasn't as if you left him because you hated him. Even after the break-up, there wasn't any remorse or hatred. Not one tiny bit. At least not on your part.

    And there it was, that sentence "I hated the three years I was with her".

    Despite being the one who initiated the break-up, there hasn't been a single day of your waking life that you tell yourself you've wasted 3 friggin' years of your life and that you hated every single moment you were with him. Not even a minute. You spent almost 36 months of your lives together and he just told the world he hated those 3 years.

    You wonder if all those boyfriend-girlfriend things ever said meant anything to him.

    Sure, it's not like you lost a great deal. Just a teeny weeny bit of your heart.

    So really, you are now thinking if this is worth moping about.

    Ask that God sheds his Grace on you and shows you a brighter path for there can never be a better month than this to ask.

    You tell yourself you'll be fine and you know that this shouldn't matter at all.

    For the first time, I felt like my anak tekak was going to come right out of my mouth today. For the first time, I was so sure that my iman was being tested. For the first time today, I made dessert after iftaar and it was amazingly good. In fact, it was sinfully good. How can chocolate, bananas, apple and marshmallow not be good?

    For the first time also, I shall let the whole world into a little secret of mine.

    I am fascinated by the smell of haze. I find it invigorating and intoxicating all the same. I am well aware that breathing in too much of it can probably cause a lot more harm than good (duh, ain) but... I just like how it smells, okay.

    Oh well. quirky me.

    In case you're mildly freaked out about the whole haze issue, here's a real shocker. Then again, I'm almost always deaf, so it's probably not so shocking. hur hur hur. *warning: explicit content ahead*

    The following conversation took place during the 1st sahur: (adapted from nana's blog)

    mother: Kasi Irah minum air milo bagus!
    me: Minum milo anda jadi sihat dan kuat! (the jingle, remember?)
    mother: sihat dan kuat~ ! (background singer)
    father: Irah selalu pengsan-pengsan. kasi die minum TONIC cap gajah ah~
    me: Huh? K***K cap gajah?

    And there I was, thinking why in the blazes would my dad want my sister to drink something called ***** cap gajah.

    As you might have already noticed, this entry is really pointless.

    Well, I'm glad that like me, you found something to amuse yourself with. (:

    I cannot even begin to describe how happy I was when I finally got my hands on the song My Heart. I can finally tangkap feeling. hahahaha. I love how the song has a haunting and wailing effect. Amaaaat suka. Now that I've watched the movie and have the soundtrack, the next thing to do would be to buy the vcd and the soundtrack cd. Okay, I know it seems pointless to do that since I have already watched the movie but I just want to and there's no stopping me.

    I was at chijmes with Amanda tonight, watching the match between Liverpool and Tottenham hotspurs. And what a beauty the winner was. That stunning strike was put in by none other than Riise, whose presence on the pitch came to me as a surprise (I thought he's still recovering).

    And I was mildly shocked when the bartender didn't think I was Malay. I had a bigger shock when he thought that Amanda and I were sisters. tsk. Am, toldcha it was too dim! hahaha. It was weird when he thought that I watched soccer because I had put in a lot of money. Must have been all the excitement I showed whenever there was a miss or a shot. But still, watch soccer only must bet meh? Nonsense.

    Anyway, thanks for tonight girl. See you on Monday.

    To Muslims worldwide, Ramadhan Al-Mubarak.

    (:

    A Liverpool win is not like any other win. It's special because it's a Liverpool win.

    I left my red adidas water bottle, the one with supposedly my name on it but somehow my name changed into "air", in the theatre. Not only am I depressed, I'm lost without it. It's a good thing that we're already starting to fast and that means I don't need the water bottle. But still. tsk. haiya. jialat ah.

    I don't think that time of the month is due anytime soon and therefore, it is unlikely that it's because of pms. Honestly, I haven't got a clue if it's really pms or just stress. I don't even know what I'm so stressed up about. It's not like I have a gazillion exam papers to set.

    Or maybe, it's the kids in school. Yea, that's a very likely cause.

    Ohhh and I also know of another possible cause of the sudden outbreak of pimples.

    Just the thought of having to go on the double in order to complete whatever there is left to prepare them kids for the final year paper. I am not certain if they are in the least bit worried for themselves. I know I am.

    So there, it could be that I think far too much and hence the fugly huge pimples. It's hideous, I'm telling you.

    Everyone seemed so intrigued whenever they hear that I've just hit the big two-0. They're even more excited about me getting married. This reaction is more prominent amongst my relatives, especially my dad's aunts. I don't mind getting married at this age but I'm sorry to disappoint those who eagerly anticipate my wedding with bated breaths, I don't even have a boyfriend. Much less a rich one. In any case, I'm not really interested in having a boyfriend, let alone being bounded in matrimony. For now.

    The following conversation between my younger sister and one of my dad's youngest cousins (quite the charmer, this little fella) amused me to no end:

    boy: how old is she?
    nana: 20
    boy: is she going to poly?
    nana: she's going to a university.
    boy: oh, so she's getting married soon huh?
    nana: nooooo.

    It's not everyday that you find yourself engaged in a mirthful conversation with your little uncle. Tak padan kecik ni satu.

    In other news, my new toy arrives tomorrow. -rubs hands in glee-

    And Liverpool's defeat at Stamford Bridge... definitely not as amusing as my little uncle. Kuyt missing golden opportunities, now that's certainly not amusing. Two successive defeats, not funny at all. Wake up, Rafa!

    Good luck for that interview, you.

    I saw the trailer when I was on a holiday in Port Dickson and I immediately knew that I had to watch it. Not only because it was written by Melly Goeslaw but also because of its haunting soundtracks that sort of just grow on me. I wanted to watch it so much because I kinda had an inkling as to what the ending was going to be like. Furthermore, I get a kick out of knowing that I was right about the ending. hur hur hur. No-lifer... go figure.

    If you're like me and are more comfortable with a movie that has tragedy in its thematic elements, with a tragic ending to boot, you're in for a treat! It may not be as tragic if you look at the plot from the other character's viewpoint.

    A word of caution, though. If you're a tissue basah like I am, do yourself a favour by bringing adequate tissue packs. (:

    On a more serious note, people out there who know naught about my family, I suggest you shut your gap. It speaks very little of you when you make assumptions, and very false ones at that. I'm just going to leave it at that because as an adult, you should know better.

    But anyway, go watch Heart all right? (:

    I would have finished watching season 6 of friends right at 9. But you see, I had to start playing the disc all over again and find the chapter of where I last stopped. All because the disc is badly scratched. I don't know if it's just me being damn ngada-ngada nak mampos or what, but I don't understand how people watch dvd and have scratches, handprints and whatever stains you can possibly think of, left on the disc. The worst thing is, it's not even a private property. Hey, if it's yours, by all means, scratch it, shit on it. But rental discs belong to the shop. It's just as good as borrowing a book from a library or anything from anyone for that matter. You don't borrow someone else's belonging and leave curry stains on it, good grief.

    So my point is, I could, would and should have finished season 6 at 9.

    Okay, you know what?

    Since I'm at it, I might as well let everything out. But first, if you find that I have a blood of a bitch and that nothing can please me, there's always the x on the top right hand corner. This is my blog and I'm only exercising my prerogative.

    There's nothing in this world that I find more annoying than people who always have to get on other people's last nerve. It's preposterous how some expect others to always be on stand by, hoping that by some miraculous chance, others would have the luxury of time and would be willing to cater to their every whim and fancy. Ohh but when others just need to ask a question that would probably take what, 10 seconds of their oh-so-precious life, they come up with a thousand and one excuses (I couldn't help but exaggerate the magnitude of the situation).

    Why are some people like that?

    Or is this just an excuse for me to grind my pitchfork, yet again? Am I that impossible to please? But I'm thankful nonetheless, for avenues like blogger and such, for it provides me a medium to channel and vent all my frustration. That includes my resentment for some of the human habits that to me are rather disconcerting. Like for instance, Singaporean women's disability in pee-ing quite accurately without making a mess. Okay at this point, the entry becomes completely pointless.

    Anyhow, I don't know what I'd do without blogger. My temper, my anal-retentiveness and the raging, dire urge to slap whoever I find annoying may probably be exacerbated if I haven't found blogger.

    Blogger, my hero.

    Okay, I should publish this post already.

    There is no doubt that some of my students are beginning to hate me. It was the first time that I made them stay behind after the bell had rung.

    It's just frustrating when you know you've put in so much effort in preparing lesson and yet at the end of the day, everything just turns out to be but a big failure. Everything and everyone just seems to get in your way. I wonder if students ever do think about why most teachers lecture or reprimand them endlessly.

    Up till this point, I don't know what is going to take them to practice self-control and sit still during my lesson. I have never understood why is that some people have the dire and ceaseless need to blabber on and on in class. Tak penat ke? Are the days of students paying attention in class and showing teachers a little bit of respect long gone? Or has that been a mere construct all along?

    I never meant to be harsh to any of them.

    For the benefit of those who're still contemplating about devil wears prada, here are some reasons as to why you should watch it:

    It's not like any other chick flicks;
    you'll love Nigel;
    ladies, you'll fall in love with all the manolo blahniks;
    we're talking about meryl streep and anne hathaway - what's not to like?

    So go watch.

    Another highly anticipated movie (I know I am anticipating it) is a typical tragic love indonesian flick. I am guessing that's the exact ingredient in a movie that compels me to watch it. Anything sappy or tragic, and I'm in. Come on, it's written by Melly Goeslaw. She captures tragedy in a way so riveting, it's beyond any scale of imagination. I can't wait!

    Kwinella @ 11:57 PM!


    They friggin' lost. Arghhhh. I cannot believe this. What were they doing on the pitch. Oh God.

    Wait. I don't think they were doing anything. %#@$&*%$%!!!%^$^%

    Wake up. The club didn't go shopping in summer for nothing. Start playing like you deserve to be in the club, man.

    In other news...

    I hate people who go back on their words. If one cannot keep a promise, then one shouldn't make promises. If one is aware that he/she is lousy at honouring his/her words and yet insists on making promises, one should just... stop living. gaaaaah. If you say you're gonna call, you jolly well call dammit.

    Am I perpetually pms-y?

    But in any case, I am not disregarding the fact that I had a blast with the neighbour. Thank you so much.

    But I'm still mad that Liverpool lost and some other reasons unbeknownst even to me.

    And we're back on the topic of toilet etiquette.

    I've had it till *here* with women who are possibly or/and completely bereft of sense of direction and hence the lack of capability to pee properly without leaving traces everywhere.

    If you are one anal-retentive woman like some of us are, the least you can do is cover the seat with toilet paper or *drumroll* toilet seat cover to prevent bacteria and germs from multiplying on/in your vital areas. Yes, there is such a thing called toilet seat cover for those not in the know. Never, and I have been reiterating, NEVER squat on the seat. You want to squat? Use cubicles which are meant for squatting.

    If you happen to leave traces of your excretion on the toilet seat, please, please wipe it off with the toilet paper provided. You know, you can always clean and sanitise your hands with water and soap after that. You do know that you have to that anyway, yes?

    If you're having that time of the month and you really have to change in public toilets, for the sake of all mankind, dispose it discreetly and properly. We really do not appreciate soiled napkins left out in the open, on the lid of the bin, thank you very much. Some of you may cringe and gag at this juncture but some of us are really that witless and inconsiderate.

    Last but definitely not the very least, for the love of life, please flush.

    Thank you very much.

    I was listening to class 95 on our way home from dinner and they were talking about love.

    The question that apparently people these days find baffling is, "what if one day your partner comes up to you and say, I love you but I'm not in love with you? what would you do?"

    Now, will someone please tell me what in the blazes is the damn difference between loving a person and being in love with a person?

    Kwinella @ 2:38 AM!


    I'm home and it feels damn good.

    For the uninitiated, I was away in Negri Sembilan Darul Khusus busy gorging myself with food. I cannot say that I had a ball there nor am I going to lie through my teeth about the food. The truth is, I can cook better. Betul, bukannya aku nak ngada-ngada or what. ohhhh ohhh but I can say that I had the best teh tarik, ever! The best teh tarik, according to me, can be found in Tiara Beach Resort. hur hur hur.

    The weather, Alhamdulillah, was kind to us, although some of us here may beg to differ. *snigger*

    We were on the train homeward bound this evening and throughout the journey, I couldn't help but laugh each time the person who announced the arrival of the train at every station translates the announcement in English. No doubt that my English is sometimes very koyak despite the very fact that I teach the language, but his mispronounciation of "alight" and "done" tickled me to the core of my soul. Even my dad laughed, okay. I wasn't the only mean one.

    Anyway.

    I hate how I was disgruntled whenever I found anything that didn't quite meet my expectation. I hate how I sounded like a spoilt brat whenever I grumbled about the bland pasta and biryani. It could be that I expect some standards to be met or that I have always been partial towards my homeland. Either way, it's unbecoming. But you know, if you call yourself a resort or a hotel, there are bound to be expectations. Otherwise, it's a different story altogether.

    But nevermind. I guess I could learn to shut up and be rid of any expectation the next time I go on a trip, which would be in the very distant future. Now that I'm back and done with setting of paper 1, yaaaay. To people who are expecting souvenirs, I hate to break your heart but I am afraid we didn't do any shopping. It was that laidback of a holiday.

    Back to school tomorrow.

    I had 2 birthday cakes and the cherry on the icing was watching Crouch bagged in some goals for England and Gerrard's unstoppable drive. ohhh ohh ohhhh and did you see how he skipped past the defender? I've never seen him done anything like that. Needless to say, I was dazzled. And of course, need I mention the 2 beauties by Defoe?

    Then again kan, it's Andorra. In good faith, I think even our Lions could have beaten them. (:

    Okay it's 6.32 in the a.m. My mind cannot function properly (hey, what's new). I think I shall end this with a mighty huge thanks to all those who wished me well and to those who did not, it's okay, I forgive you.

    hur hur hur.

    Just make sure you give me two gifts next year. You know, to make up for this year. hur hur hur hur.

    Happy birthday to me and also to one of the most charming men in showbiz, Keanu Reeves. (:

    Kwinella @ 2:34 PM!

    Friday, September 01, 2006

    I know my birthday's not till tomorrow, but I went out for a mini celebration anyway. It wasn't much of a celebration to begin with. It was pretty much just a day to accompany someone buy perfume for her beloved and also to have a hearty meal while watching the day go by.

    But I must say I had the loveliest time, ever. Free Red samples, a free DKNY sling bang, chocolates and a stalk of rose, what more can I ask for. (:

    I'm a very happy girl.

    I like how today's simplicity made today a beautiful day.

    And for the last time, I was out with a girl. Not a boy. Let's recall. I don't have a boyfriend, remember? (:

    I would also like to thank 1E1 for the party and the rest of my students for the cards and whathaveyous. You people made my first (and most probably my last) Teachers' Day a memorable one.

    So anyway, in case some of you are cracking your heads open over what to get me for my birthday (I'm shameless like that), here are a few suggestions:

    an adidas sling bag
    a SMALL Liverpool jersey
    long-sleeved tops (uk size 10) a lot of you think I'm ultra-skinny. the fact is, I'm not.
    vouchers from borders
    janet seidel's cd
    white roses or lilies
    moonflower body mist
    Lancome's Tresor
    steven gerrard. HAHAHAHAHAHA.

    This list is just a guideline. (:

    Okay, I shall go enjoy the remnant of my being a nineteen-year-old.

    note to self: have a fabulous super sweet 20. may you be blessed with health and happiness. ameen.

    Kwinella @ 9:45 PM!


    Okay, for the benefit of our miss dee, gramophone outlets are the following:

    INTERNATIONAL PLAZA
    SCOTTS
    CAPITOL
    PARAGON
    NGEE ANN CITY (I think)
    CENTREPOINT
    PARKWAY PARADE
    OUB CENTRE, RAFFLES PLACE.

    If you're looking to rent, video ezy should be available in heartland malls or any other rental shops. (:

    Once you've gotten hold of the movie, eat your heart out.

    Okay, we're gonna go play with our new toy now. jetjetjettt.

    Ohh. Happy Teachers' Day and have a fabulous one-week break to whoever is on a one-week break. I know I am on a one-week break. hur hur hur.
