From today onwards,i’ll be writing here. I hope u like the new house

I woke up with a smile today. Not only because i received a text message in my sleep,or because my alarm managed to wake me up for Subuh on time this morning, or because i’m still in the midst of holiday, or because today we got the internet or because my cellulose sample has shown a sign of contamination. I smiled because i’ve managed to overcome my fear.Something i’ve been trying to do since last year. It feels good. The weird part is, it was difficult when i’ve been trying so hard to let myself free, but yesterday, overcoming it was as natural as breathing.Effortless.n i promised, i will not let myself sink into such problems anymore. Not this year.i promised

P/s: i want black pepper braised lamb badly. Like this.

I’m good. It’s good to know everyone back home is good too.I know i hv’nt called many ppl whom i’m supposed to call. The reason is, we just got the house phone. I mean the line. But we hv’nt got the internet yet. I missed A LOT of things..the new list of cabinet ministers (which is not new anymore by now), Malaysia newspapers, Nana’s post abt my departure, Lutfi’s post with my name in it n the list goes on haha..Let’s talk about the new house a bit. We’ve moved to a new house, which is a bit bigger than the previous house.we’ve settled down fully now n i’m loving my new room.i wanted to elaborate more but i’m running out of time. n owh, i would like to apologize to allllllllll friendss whom i’ve missed their birthdays. I’m such a bad friend i know. Sorry to the many friends who buzzed just now..sgt x cukup tgn to do evtg. will catch up with everyone soon!Sorry jugak dkt Tanta Nuna, sbb x call2 lg smpai hari ni.Na, u’re leaving sobsob…is this for real?? u cn always quit tau Tan, jgn push urself. (what kind of sister am i suruh adik quit??haha)..ntahla, bt i cn’t imagine leaving u in a foreign place :(  sure Ana nangis nnt. Kesiannye.Suruh Jeeh tolong mama dkt rmh tau.

p/s:I would also like to take this opportunity to thank that special someone,the first person to call the house phone n the same person i ‘go home’ to at the end of the day..i love u more n more evday. (i know i’m such a pain in the ass)

It’s 2.25 in the morning now n i cn’t sleep. I’m watching the news, refreshing Malaysiakini every 5 mins, and packing at the same time. Demam Pilihanraya dah merebak ke seluruh rumah. The sisters n i r still wide awake although we had such a tiring day today. We went to Alamanda, Karaoke for 2 hours, mani n pedi for 1 hour, last minute shopping. I’m quite happy (n surprised) with the election results actually (n dat keeps me awake up to this very minute :)…So far opposition has won Perak, Penang, Kelantan,Selangor,and Kedah while BN has won Terengganu,Perlis,Johor,Terengganu,Malacca and Negeri Sembilan.
Pak Lah kelihatan sangat sedih di kaca TV sekarang. Terdetik rasa simpati di hati saya memandangkan ini penggal pertama beliau dan masih banyak yang ingin dibuktikan.Tetapi saya masih mentah untuk menilai, oleh itu eloklah jika saya tidak banyak bicara. Walaubagaimanapun, Barisan Nasional telah menang majoriti mudah. Tahniah Pak Lah.Btw, look at this. Latest at Malaysiakini.

Umno leaders in emergency meeting - 2.25am

The
mood is grim at the Umno headquarters as the shock results of the
today’s polls become apparent. The Putra World Trade Centre which
houses the Umno headquarters is unusually quiet with party leaders
trickling in slowly. No statements have been made to reporters gathered
at the venue as they remain locked in deep discussions upstairs. 

The evening saw the arrival of 

8:10pm BN secretary-general Radzi Sheikh Ahmad and Azalina Othman

8:53pm Umno Youth leader Hishammudidn Hussein

9:42pm Umno Information Chief Muhd Muhammad Taib

10:15pm Prime Minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi and wife

11:40pm Deputy Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak and wife

12:06am Minister of Women and Family Shahrizat Abdul Jalil

The leaders are still locked up in a meeting.

I’m about to sleep now..but before that i would like to congratulate my favourite candidates..they are:
Pak Lah (Kepala Batas)
Nurul Izzah Anwar (Lembah Pantai)
Wan Azizah (Permatang Pauh)
Dr Lo’lo (Titiwangsa)
Mukhriz Mahathir (Jerlun)

Selamat menjalankan amanah yang diberi rakyat dengan adil. Tomorrow is gonna be a lo0ong day for me.
P/s: Bye2 Malaysia.

i was cleaning  and updating my wardrobe n guess what i found…more than 20 helai stripy blouses..i know they’re all mine,i remembered buying them but i cn’t recall liking them, so how come i hv so many?..*confused*

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!

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..

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.

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.

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.
