lookin' up
thank u thank u dear Pablo for ur latest post. it gave me the semangat i needed to do my essays.
2 days ago, my situation was -sh*tloads of readings and zilch essays and watever.
today - 2 books down, 2 essay outlines out and one in progress. yippeee!!!
obviously i'd need to read the books again since i only did a skimming marathon thing just so i'll get the gist of wat peter fitzpatrick is saying. but pokoknya i think i get him better now and im not mental abt it anymore. the doa in the previous post must've worked too. thank u guyys!
so now, i tink wat peter is trynna say is that he believes law is imperialistic but not racist. hmm.. i'll need to get my head round that tho. haha bcoz theres still the many complicated law jargon but at least now i kinda get what he's at.
anyhoo, i woke up today all happy bcoz im not weighed down by my panic anymore. the weather looks fine today so im gonna go jog soon. as soon as my ipod finishes charging. hehe i was abt to go tdi when i realise my ipod's dead. so gotta revive the lil' baby before i go off to use up some happy energy.
my new shelf is arriving today too. today is looking up pretty well. and i've also heard 'through the grapevine' (i got this from my obs2 question. buleh they use words like that? bukan style lama kah tu?) that there are some juicy and dirty gossip about. wont talk abt it here obviously, and i shudnt feel too happy abt it since it concerns a fren whom i love dearly, but im a girl and im sorry to say, juicy gossip like this makes my day!
okay, adang kan mengumpat. now with my work almost out of the way im starting to look forward again to my weekend break to london. but im hoping it wont be an absolute break ie i wanna do some work over the weekend. i'll see most of u guys this sunday, yes?
last, but not least, i just wanna remind my special someone that i love u everyday =) cant wait to see u in december.
much love

dear 'exercise buddy'
i just read apip's blog. she went jogging ystrdy.
while i had a donut. TWO donuts actually. one from bake n' bite and another from tesco's, the custard-filled one.
damn u, pip!! i wanted to go jogging *sob*
i'd jog today but it says its gonna rain. 'shower' more like. sudah tah sajuk. boooooo.
i cant wait to get back on my treadmill with the view of jame' assr and watch E! news.
saya stress jua. pasal i dont bloody understand what peter fitzpatrick is trynna say and im suppose to write an essay about his critical legal work. not only do i have to explain wat his work is about, i also have to criticize his work.
critic 1 : unintelligible. should use simple english for thick daft ppl who dare take philosophy of law (ie me)
critic 2 : too complex. should use short sentences to convey meaning directly.
critic 3 : whhhhhhyyyyy do u have to have sooo many opinions on critical legal studiesss??
hmmpf. mentel bunyinya eh. maybe i can get away with saying those stuff. after all, steve said he valued opinions more than content. at least, thats what i remember..
i am waist-deep in work; 3 essays and 1 test in less than 3 weeks. and im squeezing a london trip this weekend. thank god theres 2 secret santas and the xmas dinner to look forward to. which reminds me, since i keep forgetting to ask bee, wats the menu for the xmas dinner?
now lets do this praying stuff again like we did last time
'Ya Allah, selamatkan Rabiatul Adawiyyah and berikanlah ia kesabaran dan bukakan lah mindanya agar dpt membuat kerjanya dengan aman, tenang dan lancar. Ameen'
thank u guys! esehmen. buleh jadi cigu malay bah nie lol.

donuts!
today is a historic day of all historic days. essentials have started selling their iced donuts again! well, they prolly sold them since last mth or sumthing but the point is, i got one today and it was deeelliisssh in every bite.
but the price went up from 65p to 69p. damn u donuts! last year it was 60p! they went up early this year but not 69p?? wat'll it be next yr, a quid?
i only got one, whereas last yr i'd usually get 2.. or 3. haha not bcoz of financial matter, but because of, erm, waist matters.
anyhoos, i also went up to the library and yet agen, someone had to help me get in. its a sign that me and libraries dont mix. i cant ever get into the templemen library w/o a fren, the security guard or the person behind me having to help me get in. bee says its like an exclusive niteclub, i need someone to get me in. which is sad reli, becoz i never reli liked the library in the first place. but this time, its a necessity. i dont think i can get away with not going to the library at all in the first term like i did last year. not if i want a good grade for my philosophy of law.
anyhoo, me and nis were talking about the library and why we dont like it. yes ppl, there are such things as law students and libraries that cant mix. for one thing, the library makes u study bcoz everyone else there has their nose buried in not just one, but usually 2 or 3 books, with more books piled high near them. that picture im not comfortable with. i need a relaxed environment to study and a bit of noise. i cant study with music on, but total silence is more deafening to me. i'd rather have the hum of my laptop or the faint music from jem's room than have total silence.
that said, i cant stand having other ppl study around me and be so quiet. how can so many people in one room not make any noise? the thing is, im okay with group discussions. talking, i can handle. silence, no!
plus, i was saying to anisah that its my competitive nature that drives me away from the library. the many students hidden behind books, instead of spurring my competitiveness, drives me away bcoz i knw that cant be like that. and i cant stand being the 'loser'. im not saying i cant be like that bcoz im lazy. im saying i cant be like that bcoz its quiet. and i get fidgety. i have to move all the time and that'll just annoy the others, wont it?
so i got to the library, got my books, and went out of there pronto. oh, and then i got my donut. yummy!
anyhoo, i've done enough procrastinating from eating my donut with absolute relish. u cud see this crazy gleam in my eye when i saw the donuts in essentials lol. i took my time this time bcoz i only got one and i dont wanna overdo the donuts agen, not unless i wanna be the size i was in may.
aand now that im done dissing libraries (or actually, the ppl who go thre) its time for me to bury myself in books. but this time, with the accompanying buzz of skype and the low hum of the radiator.

early weekend
i took the initiative to start my weekend early. i bunked off my friday classes.
actually, they're only lectures and they're online, so as long as i listen to them, i'll be fine.
so here i was, listening to ystrdy's lecture which i missed (i had period cramps, okay?) and then i found out the recording was only for about 2-3mins? nick jackson hadnt even got to the meat of the lecture. so now i dont knw wat im gonna do abt it. property is one of those modules that i cant help but hate. actually, hate's too strong a word. its just too confusing. and i thought reading abt it would help, but nooo` bcoz the author of the book decided it would be improper if we use a language that students could understand. we're gonna use the complicated confusing kind of language that will make ur life hell.
anyway, thats my take. but i knw some ppl do like, even love, property. so to each his own. bee, i knw u read this, so help me, pls!
besides property, i enjoy my other modules. family law is reli interesting, altho i dont knw how i'll do for the test in 3 weeks time. its an essay question, so i'll be depending on my GOG ie gift of the gob, which also means, cheat ur way thru bs-ing. but its reli fun bcoz some of the modules inter-relates, like family has a bit on property, stuff abt on divorce, how property is divided and etc.
obs2 is the most straightforward (in my opinion) of all my modules. what is obligations 2? its the art of suing. haha i dont knw if its just the evil in me who loves suing every lil' b*stard for every wrong they've done or if its my kesian natre to ensure the victim gets everything they're worth, but i love obs2 =D
now, my fave module of all so far, first year modules inclusive, is philosophy of law. sure, its a whole lot of gibberish and loads of metaphors but i like that all isnt all about facts but something deeper. ystrdy we went wayy deep in philosophy talking abt metaphysics and im sure everyone in the lecture room had reli bangang looks on their faces. steve (the lecturer) even went as deep as mentioning about islam and how ppl dont understand terrorists becoz they dont understand the religion. because today's society is all abt the physical that we find it simply crazy and bonkers when a religious belief is taken to that extreme. personally i tink suicide bombers are a bit extremists but being a muslim myself, i kinda of understand where they're coming. then steve went on abt how when the western ppl try to understand islam and read the Qur'an, more often that not, they convert. omgd THAT statement just made my day. i know im not a pious or maybe even that good of a muslim, but when i hear about new converts my heart just swells up with love =)
the problem with my lecture and seminar with steve ystrdy was that i was being attacked aggresively by my period cramps. so there i was in class, trying to sit still and not twist my body and having make do with clenching my fists and biting my lips to overcome the pain. but it was an interesting lesson nevertheless.
oh yes, i also left my file at my previous class b4 the one with steve, so i cudnt write any notes properly bcoz i had no paper. i wasnt biasa enuf with my seminar mates to ask for paper and the one person i biasa came late. i've been leaving stuff a couple of times now. first it was my bag, now its my file. cmon ppl, i actually left my bag! that is the one thing a girl NEVER goes without. in there is her lifeline, her fone, her money, her umbrella, her emergency Ms, her mirror!
but yes, i did leave my bag. i forgot. talur jua tu. and i've been feeling lethargic lately. i miss my gym so much. well its more the exercising that i miss. but now i gotta focus on my work and essays and i cant find the energy to fit both work and exercise into my schedule. im gonna go try jog tomoro tho. we'll see how the weather is tomoro. and how late/early i get up.
now i need to go research on my philosophy of law essay. looking forward to it! was planning to go to the library but i dont tink i wanna walk uphill in the rain.

fabulous
i didnt go jogging on monday. but i did walk to town that day. lugging several shopping bags =D
shopping was just as good as i remembered. better, even, bcoz i was getting presents too so it wasnt an entirely me myself and moi thing. and even better, i found a the most fabulous fall jacket for only 15quid. 15 quid! from zara too. i love it when i find good finds like that. and it was my size too. so yes, i knw i dont need a fall jacket as yet bcoz the weather's too cold now, but i went ahead and bought it anyway. i can wear it on my trip back to brunei.
speaking of which, i cant wait to go somewhere where i can sweat! its been so cold here. i heard it snowed it birmingham and in warwick. snow in november!! thats gotta be a first. anyhoo, it just means that winter this year wont be 'mild' like last year. everybody's saying how this time around its colder and harsher and ive only been here for one winter, but u can just feel it. now it gets as low as 1degree and if i remember correctly, it didnt even reach that last year, even in december. so ive got 3 more weeks to survive this grueling cold and im out to sunny borneo.
on another unrelated topic, i saw syamim ystrdy. syamim is like, the shrinking girl of canterbury. she lost more weight and i dont knw how she does it. aku jeles. see, mim?? i am writing abt u here! haha apakan sakit hati aku ah. but seriously, i admire ur willpower. but i just go weak when i see chocolate and ice cream. and our fridge stocker doesnt help either =p seeing how she can eat 3 horses, 2 cows and 1 elephant in one sitting and still stay a size 4.
anyhoo, i better go. i woke up late today, at quarter to noon which is the latest i've woken up since i got here. and to think ive got loads of work to do today. but i just felt like updating this to tell ppl what a bargain i got for such a fab jacket hehe. oh yea, and i did some online shopping as well. but thats another story.
much love,

back in the game
im in a quater life crisis now. at least, i think i'm in a quarter life crisis. but then again, maybe thats just my pms talking. besides, what exactly is a quarter life crisis anyway? or for that matter, a midlife crisis?
anyway, i was feeling a bit down lastnite. i stayed home out of choice =) its my first weekend home since forever anyway. but i cudnt go to sleep lastnite and i cudnt exactly put my finger on what was wrong. like i sed, it may be the pms thre. bcoz i cried. i cried so hard like i havent before. i cried like the times i cried when i missed that someone. so i tink maybe i miss that someone; but he was right there on skype with me. which we all knw isnt the same thing as being there with u but then, there was no need to cry on rory's shoulder was it?
so it mustve been the pms. i went to sleep eventually and i had weird dreams about jogging. and keeping fit. i tink i feel guilty bcoz i'm just gaining back the weight i've worked so hard to lose. and anyway, i miss sweating. i reli do miss exercising and having my heart pumped from the adrenaline. so i woke up and decided to jog. turns out bee wanted to jog so voila! we hit a milestone and the 2 girls who had take-outs every other nite during first year went jogging on a sunday.
it was freezing tho. we were all bundled up, but i wasnt bundled up as much as i would be bcoz i thot jogging would make me hot anyway. apparently the wind was a bit strong today and i didnt feel warm. and my hands were freezing. ditto my ears. and i dint sweat at all =( i could feel my heart pumping after 5mins or so but no sweat, which was dissapointing. and we were starting to hurt in places that i didnt tink possible from jogging. okay, we both kinda felt dizzy, but thats prolly coz we didnt drink enough water beforehand. but my jaw hurt. how does that happen from jogging? and my tongue too. at least i tink its my tongue but its more the jaw. i told jirin and bee maybe its coz i talk too much?
then i remember maybe its my tongue pierce. so its coming off for tonite.
theres another jogging date with bee tomoro morning. that is, if she wakes up early. then after my lecture its town which equals shopping. its been 3 weeks ppl. at least give me a pat on the back for trying. and im only gonna shop for stuff for ppl back home. which kinda makes me technically still on my no shopping deal. altho i have to admit the stuff i plan to buy tomoro arent exactly necessary.
but hey, im in a 'qaurter-life' crisis. so i deserve to shop.
toodles!

procrastination sinks
well, that definitely doesnt go well together. 'sinking under workload' with 'procrastination sinks'?
i've done my obs2 assessment and my obs2 seminar work, but sad to say, i havent done any family law and i just about touched the tip of the property iceberg.
and that iceberg is the one thing that hasnt sunk in. instead, its the procrastination iceberg that feels the shake and is sinking down fast.
i've been on my laptop and trying to listen to property lecture12 for the last 75minutes or so. instead, i find myself window online shopping (yes, im still keeping true to my words of no november shopping besides the odd necessity), checking out presents for those special ppl for when i get back.
and i've also been chatting on msn with the (bf's) sister.
and here i still am, putting off my work and blogging instead of listening to the lecture. truth of the matter is, i reli need to get the lecture done by tonite becoz i need to knw abt proprietary estoppel for the seminar tomoro.
which is at 11am. and i have a 9 oclock lecture tomoro so i cant even squeeze in the lecture tomoro if i wanted to. in other words, it has to be tonite.
maybe its this no shopping ban i've put on myself. and havent been doing yoga on account that i've been in london. i've also been eating alot. which is actually code for 'yes ali i haf been gaining weight'.
this sucks. maybe shopping is more of a benefit rather than a detriment to me. i'd definitely like to think so.
i miss the pre-weight-gained, at the height of my shopping and yoga days me. in my gorgeous leather jacket, equally gorgeous leather boots and just-as-gorgeous DKNY bag.
ka nadz is coming tomoro. which also equals a visit to apip. that will definitely cheer me up muchos!
much love,

sinking under the workload
i miss u..
so i had my weekend of fun. my extra long weekend of fun and leisure. bcoz i came back on tuesday instead of the promised monday.
me and the many aunts cousins and nini went for dinner at lagenda on friday, followed by waffles where one of us got picked up by a nice nicholas saputra lookalike =p. saturday and sunday was spent baby sitting the adorable baby hana banana alias hana zahirah (who is so so cute!), watching tv (skye tv lgi tu. its funny that we've paid our tv license but we still dont get any channels) and out with bu ita and the baby for shopping! (bu ita, not me).
monday, the day i was supposed to balik and catch the 9oclock train back the ticket lady said i can only use it after 9.30. i thought, if i go 9.30, then i'll proly rush to my seminar. so i made an executive decision (esehmen) and decided not to balik. plus, i left the house w/o saying goodbye properly to my nini and she wasnt happy with me. so i came back and spent monday doind a bit of work (it was about time!) and a lot of shopping with syazwi. or rather, accompanying him shopping.
all this abstaining from shopping is having a sedated effect on me. i cant even feel happy for other ppl shopping anymore =s altho i got a glimpse of the LV bag that i have my eye on =D we went to selfridges and i gotta hand it to syazwi, his shopping puts my shopping to shame! but maybe thats coz i dont have my own credit card yet. altho truthfully, i dont plan on having one. bcoz at the rate i shop, its just safer to stick with paper than plastic.
so today im back in my comfy old room, which was freezing just a couple of hours ago. when did it start getting so cold?? my room usually feels stuffy with the heater turned up high but now i have it on high and im wearing my kent hoodie. i cant wait to balik december. warm weather, mate. and i dread thinking of going up and down the hill to go to classes in this freezin' weather. makes me appreciate the short length i had to walk when i still lived on campus. well, i've got abt 30days to go and then its back to brunei and my beloved gym.
anyhoo, as i was saying, i had 4 days of slacking and adorable company and great food (thanx cits!) but my weekend of fun and leisure did not sit well with my work load. as of now i have
3hrs worth of lecture to catch up
1 seminar work to catch up and another 2 for this week
1 obs2 essay of 1500 words due on friday
and last but not least. wat every uni students have to do, esp law students:-
bucketloads of reading.
i've got one case to read which goes on forever (specifically 12 pages) and the prior reading i have to do for seminars anyway.
oh, and i have to do all this b4 the weekend, mind u.
but yet, here i am blogging. at least i've done half of my obs2 essay. this is such a depressing ending.
this will cheer me up.
baby hana banana!

londres
i just realised i havent updated. this is the longest i've never updated since last easter, and that was bcoz i didnt have internet connection.
why? i realised that most of the things i write are so repetitive.
shopping. boyfren. yoga. shopping. boyfren. my workload. boyfren.
all sounds so superficial, ey?
but jirin said 'but u have readers nonetheless!' so im gonna update for the sake of those ppl, pebaik theyre only my ever-loyal-boyfren and my hsemate who lives just next door to me (thats you, bee).
so i tink i last complained abt my huge workload coz i've been slacking the previous week. fortunately managed to catch up and even squeeze in time to jln and hang around with syazwi, whose currently here on a visit. oh yea, thanx wi for lanja-ing me! hehe now im in london squeezing family time with baby hana banana. remember my little cousin whom i posted a picture of back in february? this is the same girl, even more melating-er and more adorable.
i will post up a picture of her soon. in the meantime, i just got called that a babysitter is needed downstairs so i gtg. ta!
much love,

sobriety of shopping
i have never resisted my shopping urges so much than in these last few days of november.
after reading that again, i just realised how much of a shopper i am. its only been 5days of november, 5 days since allowance came out and 5 days since i vowed to myself not to shop for, um, unnecessary things. to be more specific, i promised myself not to buy anything this month except for essentials, groceries and the odd meal out. and then i realise its only been 5days. and it feels like its been weeks since i last shopped. its nice to knw that my money isnt dwindling as fast as last month, but my heart just aches when i think of all the make-up (make-up brushes, gel eye liner) and toiletries (like pore packs, facial masks, epilators) that i wanna buy and i deem necessary but i know are in essential, just to satisfy my shopping whims. or my beauty whims. same difference.
thats being mature and adult-ey to u. being able to control ur whims. give me a pat on the back for this yes? i've never made so much of an effort or felt so mature ever. not even when i first cooked my own butter-milk chicken from scratch.
and predictably, i've been going online to see all the stuff i can buy but i won't. i just need to get thru november, then december i'll be drown by essays and humongous workload, then i'll be on the way home to brunei. i'll only allow myself to shop until after xmas break. lets see how well i keep that promise =)
all this no shopping talk is quite depressing for me. but i knw i need to cut down, unless i wanna be broke b4 my first job. plus, need to save up for my wedding!
now thats a topic i like. weddings.
but i'll keep it to myself.
on another note, sayang's bro just got into an accident. rezzy's got a sprained ligament which basically makes him housebound so i wish both u guys a speedy and healthy recovery.
fortunately, no shopping leaves me more time to do work. so thats good. altho i've been doing more catching up than plain studying coz ive been missing loads of my property lecture. nis and jem just got back from shopping and they got measuring scales and a mixer (so we can make cakes!) for the house and the complete 6 seasons of sex and the city! hurray!
maybe that will keep my mind off shopping. speaking of which, i've caught up with my usual dose of grey's and ugly betty. also on a list of distractions for myself (for lack of going out), ka nadz is coming to canters soon! she hasnt said when, but its definitely this month. so yayyy!
i'll leave u guys with this picture. my fave of the halloween bunches. bad ass fairy with sissy mafia dude.

much love,

back in the swing of things
i've finally finally got back into my old schedule. no more (really late) mornings, brunch and skipping classes. no more feeling tired, groggy or sick. altho i still have a bit of a cough in me. but my voice is slowly getting back to normal, no more 'drag queen voice' and no more 'ALEE ABAWBWAA~'.
org2xnya sja faham tu.
anyhoo, i've started doing yoga again AND studying and doing proper work for seminars. considering it was a wednesday, which is 3 days (minus the weekend) since reading week, its not good, but its sumthing. i finally feel the tingle in my brain saying its time. haha.
on the other hand, i think im a bit behind property law. who the hell gets property law?? and donald with his sexy eyes and dreamy voice doesnt help either. instead of making me and vanessa sit up and listen, he actually makes our minds wander off with his soft voice. he may haf lovely eyes, but they dont pierce u like u expect they would. like that guy in my family law seminar..
despite doing yoga, i tink ive been eating a lot more. maybe my body still knows its raya? i dont knw. but i got lots to look forward to this weekend. theres apip's halloween party friday nite, then jirin's open hse and vivi's open hse on saturday. plus, ali says shuk and the boys will prolly come over this weekend, so thats fun. aaaand today is first of november which obviously means that allowance is out! sadly, i spent all my quota on shopping last month so i wont be shopping this month. actually, my last month's shopping expenditure was actually 3 months worth of shopping. i hear the girls are going to primark/ashford and i'd love to join but hey, i'd rather have money in my pocket than burn holes in it. plus i'm going home in december anyway so i dont reli need to spend much then.
speaking of which, i will be united once again with my second love - the gym. i cant wait to wake up mornings and go on the treadmill while watching E! or travel and living, do yoga 3 times a week and do weights. and this time around it'll be different. bcoz my boyfren is finally back in brunei for good.
but first, i gotta get thru november and the killer essays early dec. then im off in the new triple 7 to brunei =D
much love,
