no footie today

i always look forward to wednesdays bcoz of 2 things. one, i have no classes watsoever on wednesdays and two, theres football. im not turning into one of those sigau girls yg gila football, not even those girls yg gila football and knw every rule in the gamebook. i just love playing psl i love exercising. and running around the pitch and kicking shins (i tend to kick ppl's shins rather than the ball) is very satisfying.

tapi today theres no football bcoz we couldnt get the small hall at the gym like we usually get every week. so im deprived of the one intense workout i get weekly! so now i have two choices, either jog or do yoga. the weather's been mighty fine lately but jogging takes too much of my time. i've already got all my assignments for this term so i cant reli afford to go jogging. the jogging part is skajap actually, its the whole hanging out at jirin's or apip's that i cant afford to do and thats what usually happens after a jog. so then i'd do yoga. i need to keep them muscles stretched and toned anyway. huh altho to be honest, i actually need to add more advanced poses into my routine coz the ones im doing is getting quite easy for me, but im too malas to check out new poses. i'll do that when i get home for summer and let rose do that. she's paid to give me new poses anyway hehe.

speaking of which, my mummy's started doing yoga. good for u, bu! keep it up and then nanti we can go to classes togetherr. but then i dont knw how to fit that into summer. i'm planning to do that 2 week attachment thing come summer, but my dad's saying 2 weeks ia macam alang2x and i mite as well rehat d rumah or go to spore and lawat my babu. huhu but still, 2 weeks atu would open me up to how an office works, seeing how i've NEVER done an attahcment in my entire life. i've done loads of volunteer work mind u, and i've been involved in lots of organisations, but its never things that i'd get paid to do. if u get wat i mean. so anyhoo, i needed help w/ the attachment borang and i went over to apip's. i havent spent time with apip in eons. sejak ia buat MA anie, she's got no time for meh. huhu. anyhoo, the plan was to go to the park and feed the ducks, have a little break from our essays. i wanted to bring her to town coz i needed to buy some stuff but she said nda mau. haha maklum la, bulan tua, kan nazak sudah bulan, kan d bawa ke town? me and apip together to town is a no no.

so i went to her place after i got my stuff. skali sudah d rumahnya she was like 'i've changed my mind! lets go to town!" (yes im dramatizing it a bit but it went along those lines la haha) so us shopping buddies went to town and did our usually bit of window shopping and trying on clothes that we cudnt afford but just to see how we look like in gorgeous sexy clothes lol. haha i almost bought a kate moss top from topshop, plus it was on sale. but i knew i didnt need it so i was nitpicking trying to find something wrong with it and i found a loose thread which a pulled and the beads came out! so that was good psl then i didnt have to buy the top. i knew i didnt need it anyway. see, im getting good at avoiding buying stuff! i need to save up for berlin anyway. but then cobaan besar came when we stepped into zara. most of u knw im a big zara fan, and ada this t-shirt lawaaa which says 'i'm the princess of your dreams' huhu and org2x tertentu will understand. so we did our usually bit and tried out several tops and i tell u, i ALMOST bought the t-shirt, but somehow a voice in my head was saying 'u dont reli need that do u?' so i appeased my shopping goddess that come allowance day, if its meant to be, the t-shirt will still be there in my size and then i will get it. kalau nada, bukan tah jodoh ku tu with the baju. but guess who got a top? miss afifah herself. huh. i tell u we are baad influences for eachother.

after that, went to her house for dinner and then balik, where the guys came over. some funny stuff going on haha which i do not want to elaborate. i woke up late this morning =s only woke up bcoz dave rang the doorbell. i havent woken up this late since i was damam lastweek. oh well, at least i've got most of my reading done for property. the aim is the get another 400words done tonite and im done. sarah's bday celebration is tonite. got her a present. cant wait to see them agen. abh atu sja, need to go yoga now. krg lampuh balik. haha apakan. oh yea, i forgot to mention. i dropped a dress size. wheeeee~

much love,

it doesnt end till the fat lady sings

its been exactly one week since my last post. many2x things have happened and i've managed to get done over reading week. so good accomplisment. altho im nowhere near finishing my property special studies plan. but im thinking im halfway thru. buleh they call it 'special' studies? like that makes it all the better. makes me feel more like a retard actually lol. but then i guess i can be one when i havent done any work for a while. but im back in the game, baby! hehe i'll get to the crunch of it tomoro. krg we have the dance thingy at the venue. whooa im all powered up for that! dtglah beramai2x to watch. please =)

anyhoo, lastnite we had an interesting conversation and the highlight of it was a very memorable quote yg saya tepakai very much. coming from the ever-creative anisah

"amish dont have guns and turkeys!"

of course when i put it like that, it makes no sense watsoever and its probably not even funny. but aku tepakai. and thats what matters. haha but yea, fyi, its the pilgrims that have guns and turkeys.... rite? we're thinking american colonial pilgrims here. bukan ppl yg naik haji.

thanx lydz for dropping by. im all better now. feeling 100% better, altho masih batuk2x. but then the batuk will die down sooner or later. and i've got ur dates of coming to canters sudah. haha finally my mee jawa will become a reality!! mwahahaha (evil laugh) but um.... will tell kash abt the confirmed date. i rindu very much eating asian food. ystry i made a pasta dish with the mushroom tortellini and i kinda overboiled the pasta and they tasted like kway teow. if i had known, ku goreng pasta atu. lol but now i know. so maybe next time.

i finally managed to go out jogging with jirin. after planning since last yr! haha typical us. but then since i have reading week and jirin has his colouring week, we made a pact that if the weather's 5degrees above, we'd jog. it was a nice 8 to 9 degress on thursday and we jogged to sainsburys. got food from there too. nyanyat ku kan ke sainsburys. the food is much better. or maybe psl its not like tesco or m&s and im in need of something new? watever it is, i wanna go there again, didnt realise it was so near. kinda like walking to tesco in town if u go the back route. so not badd.. plus more walking equals more exercise equals hopefully more weight loss hehehe. altho my mum pesan sudah jgn luan labih 'krg ilang' to put in her words. but i dont think so. i love food too much. haha its more like, i want a leaner body. which obviously entails me to lose a bit more weight.

speaking of which, i miss doing weights. so far i've been exercising alright hre. had football again on weds and of course, the jogging. and i do a bit of yoga now and then. but its the weightlifting that boosts my metabolic rate and im kinda craving to angkat some stuff. haha plus it tones my arms, which is great for puffy arms like mine huhu. but on the other hand, i cant be bothered to buy weights or join the gym. i tink its more of the commitment issue. psl here i knw my priority is to blajar my brains out. so come summer when im all free, insyaAllah its back to the gym. need to save up money to join tho. haha.


altho i will be going to spore some time during the summer. aah~ nice to knw i've got plans for summer. and maybe a work attachment. but im still deciding which ministry to do it. i keep forgetting to ask my mum. okay bu, if ur reading this, remind me when we next skype =)

speaking of singapore, guess who else is there right now, other than mum? no, not rano. altho yes he is thre. huhu the special half is there. doing some sim. wishing u the best of luck. and i miss u terribly. hope everything goes well there. and u need to buy me back on facebook owned! haha pasal ka amal bought me. and i just bought u from her. so ur harga naik sudah. its kinda satisfying playing with thousands of dollars even tho its fake. hehe. i discovered i aint that bad of an investor. hehe hopefully that luck transfers to real life. amiin.

last but not least, wishing all bruneians selamat hari kebangsaan. be good and take care.

much love

i found it!

i feel in love with this song the moment i heard it but its one of those things u cant reli find out easily. its the song from the macbook air commercial.



its by paris-born israeli raised Yael Naim. soothing voice. altho the video is a bit too shakey for me. im still damam so things like that are extra sensitive to me. thank god for reading week. at least i wont have much work to catch up on from being sick.

adib and gang came over today and he make nasi katok. yummy! but probably not the best thing for me to eat in my condition. lol i thought i was all better ystrdy but i went ut for CNY society celebration so i guess i shudnt have. lastnite my temperature went sky high and cudnt sleep a wink :s but after a restless morning sleep my temperature went down so okay la.

wishing i'd have gone to londres now. too late for that. maybe when i get better. times like this, i wish i was back home. kana manjakan jua. hehe but this is one of those dugaan that u have to face when living away from family. the housemates have been great tho, so i shudnt be complaining. im just not used to this whole staying indoors thing. i mean, yes i do stay indoors, but then i'd be out now and then or up in london. so i guess its a sign for me to reli get down and dirty with my work.

a special shoutout to my babu, who recently started (again!) to read my blog. she use to read it last year but somehow my being home didnt make reading the blog as necessary. now shes in spore, hopefully im back to being your regular read. i love u.

much love,

recuperating

i tink i've pushed myself a bit too much this week. unfortunately i havent reli done as much work as i've set out to do, but i did more than i did the week before, so i guess thats something.

wednesday was the breaking tho. i had football ie sore muscles (i reli need to do proper warm up and cool down stretches!), then dance practise ie sore wrists. back home i volunteered to cook, then only after dinner did i have time to shower and then do work. needless to say, i slept late and i had a niner the next day. i woke up feeling very sore and groggy with an extreeme headache but i had no choice but to go to class because

a) i didnt come to last week's thursday classes because of a minor setback
b) i've done the work for my seminars so it would be a waste of energy if i didnt go

by midday on thursday i had a high temperature, felt excruciating pain everywhere, throbbing headache, scratchy throat. u name it. and the weather was beyond cold and freezing. plus, i was fasting, so tepaksa tunggu sungkai to mkn ubat. i knw plg buleh buka puasa with a condition like that, but it was so close to sungkai so yea.

a mug of lemsip, a tab of redoxon and a day later (ie today), im feeling much much better. still have the coughing fits tho, and feeling a bit feverish, but at least next week is reading week, so definitely gonna get plenty of rest time. the downside of it is that my plans for a london getaway had to be cancelled. i knw once i get there i'd be pampered and mothered to the extreme by the ppl i stay with if i show up damam, but its the travel bit that i cant handle. even today's class i went up eliot footpath feeling faint. okay maybe im exaggerating and maybe i cudve skived off class, considering the circumstances, but its so close to reading week and today's seminar was an introduction for a major essay we needed to write, so i braved the freezing weather (i think it was only freezing for me bcoz i was feeling feverish) and went against my lazy bones anyway.

anyhoo, right now im trying my best to finish a mug of lemsip and it hasnt sunk in that its reading week. i've got soo much to do for that property special study thing. and its due in 2 weeks. so i guess its for the best that i cant go to london. tomoro is society's CNY celebration. hopefully i'll be up for that. but then again, its free food, so i guess i'll be there.

speaking of reading week, i cant wait for easter. cant believe 2nd year is almost over. after easter its exams (yikes!) and then baliiik kampooong~~

hehe. going to berlin for easter. anyone interested in joining? its from the 13th to 18th of april. coz so far theres only 2 of us, me and my cousin, so demi memeriahkan suasana belayar, we want more ppl. hit me back if anyone's interested and will fill u in on the details.

much love,

you're everything good in my life



You must have been sent from heaven to earth to change me
You're like an angel
The thing that I feel is stronger than love believe me
You're something special
I only hope that I'll one day deserve what you've given me
But all I can do is try
Every day of my life


the song is definitely going on my wedding playlist. hee. maybe azam/sanny can do this. awu, im in cloud 9 atm. but the song menusuk kalbu. haha eseeehmen.

i miss shopping. huhu. so i cleaned the kitchen and living room ystrdy. no dust bunny was safe. haha. and we just found out that the lil window thing above our kitchen door is closed alredi.. with glass. i tried vacumming that part ystrdy and i hit solid. thank god it didnt break. we didnt even knw when that was done. so now we know 0_o

wishing everyone as good of a mood as i'm in.

much love,
