stay inside

i've been staying away from wat's happening in hometown
it gets tiring to read the same old news day after day
the only updet i get is from the infrequent phone calls to home
-shoot me for not keeping in good touch with my own family but the time difference can be a big hurdle *alasan!*-
or if Kak Ana ask if i know this n that dat is happening in beloved M'sia

dat's why i was late to find out about Norman Hakim ruckus or the fact that Kuala Terengganu is having a by election soon because the guy is dead while playing badminton or there's another landslide at Bukit Antarabangsa and government immediately calling off all hillside projects -yeah, like after numerous landslides that claimed so many lives already- or it's raining season now and it's already claiming its first victim

growing up i always love the rain season eventough i abhor rain
i was allowed to play air boh but under strict supervision of my family
mind u, i was living with my grandparents and i'm the only grandchild living with them so i get to hog all the attentions
back then, it's still gonna be flooding every monsoon season
after few years they decided to dig a water channel and no more floods *cries*
my uncle would made me a boat out of pelepah nyior and tied to a string
and i would glee in hapiness discovering the big fat earthworm crawling under the rocks
and the special diet of ubi kayu rebus with kelapa parut or pulut with ikan rebus goreng and kelapa parut *drools*
due to close proximity to the beach, the roaring waves somehow become my lullaby and soothes me to sleep
it is a good memory, indeed

to crap or not to crap?

toilet rosak lagi!
tis is like the 3rd time since moved in
prev episodes cleared on it's own

now i have to run downstairs everytime mother nature calls
such hassle tau, nk kna trn tangga yg ade 10 anak iteww
membuatkan ku pikir byk kali nk pepe/popo or not
which is wat i am doing now
*sgt2 desperate need to use toilet tp mls nk pegi*
tp nnt prone to batu karang or constipation
isk isk isk
tak sanggup........

while i love the proximity of the toilet roll of downstairs toilet sbb upstairs punyer is like kat depan instead of tepi toilet bowl n my hands r not long enuf to reach it -taula x guna air to wash up after, but whyla ltk toilet roll holder tu out of reach jugak- downstairs punyer sinki jauh ngn toilet bowl, so kna siapkan air siap2 before going on wit the business
ssh tul toilet mat salleh ni, skarang rindu those pipe getah berlingkaran dlm tandas

ok, back to wc malfunction
tried to fix it with wat little knowledge from Kemahiran Hidup lessons almost 10 yrs ago
only to make it worse
now it's overflowing *yeah, eeee-yewwwwwwwwwwwww*
bagai tikus baiki labu gamaknyer
tried calling the landlord but he's still at work
wth? still @ work @ 7 on Saturday?
dush! dush!
inda mau la call the plumber - dat's who u call kan to fix the toilet?-
plumber here is like cekik darah smpai kering kalah vampire

makes me terigt kisah lama di Vista C
the story of broken pipes
smpai pindah2 umah wakaka
mereka yg terlibat tau la skandal di sebaliknyer
bet u guys smiling at the silliness just remembering it, am i right?

btw, main point is.....
fix the toilet ASAP pretty pls
dun wan to waste precious energy n potential fat deposit going down n up the stairs just to take the leak
not when winter is starting n having the extra insualtion is critical
n i dun have the biggest of bladder
n dat coke isn't helping either
aaaaaaa...daku terseksa!!!!

man's best fren

i remember growing up, i always wanted a white mice as pet
yup the tikus putih yg biasenyer org guna for lab experiment tu
why white mice? i think they cute n clean sbb kaler putih
but my parents thinks i'm too young to handle the responsibility of taking care of pet
so i never had a real proper lil animal to take care of
kucheng2 yg suki-suki ati dtg menempel kat umah x yah ckp la

when i was living with Puteri in Vista, she had a couple of hamster
so we (me, Puteri n Muni) co-own them, sharing the responsibilities
i love them to bits
it became part of my stress reliever
my source of entertainment
n apparently a very good listener too

towards the end of our stay together, Puteri offer to let me have them but i was flying home
there are no ways i can smuggle them pass the security check
i can't imagine how the guards will react seeing the xray of my hand carry bag
2 small bony structures gerak2
n i dun wan to expose them to radiation
x psl nnt increase risk kna cancer


mama ham n papi ham

i was thinking of getting a couple of it before the summer hols
but having nobody to take care of it for 2 months doused my intention
plus it's not dat cheap

or mayb i can finally get the white mice i always wanted
or a fish like Lizzy's Sir Leonard
cam sronok kalu ade pet to play with kn?

where all the works takes place

this is my lil workspace back in Vista C when i first started medical school
reflects nothing of the life i lead at dat time
not dat i'm a messy person
just not a clean freak either heheh

i use my favorite posters from Galaxie magazines i collected during high school years as wallpaper so the paint doesn't peel off when i stick various notes n reminders etc on it
there's Britney when she's all naive n innocent, n the beautiful Brad Pitt in Meet Joe Black movie poster and Avril Lavigne cute in pink
i made my own monthly planner where i jot everything down
PBLs, classes, dates, birthdays
n i loves fames ames cookies so much i have the bag on the wall as well
can't remember wat i put inside it though

dat handbag was my 1st Guess handbag
n the choco Milk Teddy bag is my school bag from matriculation months -i only attend like 3 or 4 months then cabut to Sunway heheh-
just to emphasize i am a med students, all those medical books and pinky stethoscopes and the blue student id tag
several wedding reception gifts from Ice's bro wedding
dat small blue creature nestling in handphone holder also the blue crayon box containing coin for gayut sessions downstairs are things from the past
plastic container berisi serdak biskut raya pun finds its way to the table
*geleng2 kepala*

stuffs on the floor next to the table?
no need to mention
all of the junks and serba mak nenek u can find there

i bet all these still sits sumwhere in the small storage closet at home
i even still have stuff from primary school days

i keep most of my stuffs for the simplest reason
everything has deep sentimental value to me
and dat is a damn good enuf reason for me

i know, i have trouble letting go of my past
dat just who i am

always the 'kampung girl' at heart

i love balik kampung
such good times
when i was 5, i stayed with my then-still-single aunty and both my grandparents
since i was their third grandchild, enuf said dat i was dearly spoilt
morning bath was prepared --> campur air panas lagi
my grandma always tot me around, i was never left behind
trips, weddings, ceramah etc
i remember she always attended this mengajar sessions at one of the masjid
i always go with her because i like the market place set up outside the mosque
she let me buy foods my dad wouldn't approve like etok hehe

since my aunty teaches at kindergarden, i automatically enrolled into the class
i love the breaks where we have biskut jagung cicah teh
such simplicity
ouh, did i mentioned dat our kindergarden is in mosque compound n next to cemetery?
and yeah, our monthly activity tolong bersih kubur n masjid
hehe menarik tak?

last weekend when i go back, my nenek get me my fav breakfast --> pulut hitam
similar to pulut pagi dat u eat with grated coconut n ikan kering but this one campur gula melaka i think mase msk so it's dark n sweet n u just eat it with grated coconut
sedappppppp sangatttttttt

adam and his kak chik

this entry is dedicated to
MISS NUHA

she wrote sumthing about our elective trip to Langkawi
but she lost all the picto momentos so i graciously spent my oh-very-precious time digging out old photos
so tadaaaa!

monkey crush

as a kid, do u guys ever watch Casper?
yeah, Casper the friendly ghost
remember the boy who plays the human-boy Casper?

i remember hitting the pause button of the VCR player
*oh yesss...it's was dat long time ago*
at the 56 sec moment just to stares at him
but hey, for an 11 year old he's a heartthrob ohkayyyyy?!
at least for an 11 year old me
*ha..gelak la gelak la*

in da far far away land

so i heard dat the Parliment is dissolved n General Election should ensue within 60 days
i guess by now all the bridges n trees n lamp posts fall victim to bulan n dacing n roket n wat else flags n all those kutuk mengutuk banner erected on every surface available

well, i can't say much since as eligible as i am
the one responsibility dat come with turning 21 few years back slipped rite thru my mind
but i am sure there's sumone or two who mysteriously cast a vote on my behalf
politic just not my thang i must say

few things i fondly remember from GE growing up is how much kertas conteng me n my frens got from the small flags n banners
not forgetting the stunt my mum pulls every GE
she says she won't go back to vote but by 10 am we were all kerah-ed to get ready to balik kampung
*head shaking*
well, grandma couldn't afford to lose another vote for her party, couldn't she?
but i like the day trip balik kampung on GE, dunno why :)
ouh, when i was small, in my dad's village got another party called Semangat 46 which was dissolved sumtime when i was in secondary school, i kinda like their flag
i remember how my uncle would marah-marah my cousins for bringing home the opponent's flag
i clearly recall his words
"ni ape dacing2 nih, bulan jer boleh naik umah ni!"

well, this coming March 8 i shall miss my 1st election
to others, pangkah la mane yang patut

mass breakout

my alma matter is on newspaper
for a reason not pretty

read HERE

it's a common tale
ask anyone who stay in any boarding school
all carries similar if not same kind of story
happen during my stays too
but this is bad

SUPER BAD

200 students in one go?
in broad daylight?
4 days now n school still closed?
like i said...

SUPER BAD

i hope things become better soon
n no more future episodes

medically, more precisely from psychiatric point of view
it is labelled MASS SOCIOGENIC ILLNESS
if i can still remember of Paul Jambu's lecture back in IMU
it starts with heightened emotions leading to reduced inhibition/control with increased susceptibility to leaders sparks crowd effects and voila! u have a group of teenage girls usually in bouts of hysteria

read more on MSI
or just google it up for further details is u r interested

whether all these girls saw wat they claimed to see
i have no idea
perhaps wat happen is a few really did see 'it'
but the others r just simply 'terpengaruh'
wallahu'alam

never gone

the next time u r bored, try doing this
listen to the songs of ur rebellious yrs of going up
if u r like me, chances are most of it
comes from those cutesy 'jambu'-ish boybands
*giggles*
i bet in no time u'll be singing along
or perhaps even dancing to the steps
u thought u've long forgotten
a girlfren once express her shock upon finding out
dat she can still remember the songs from her teenage years
WORD by WORD
so i dug up some of these video
just for a lil walk down the memory lane
enjoy!

1. remember N'SYNC? n yeah, Justin with 'mi meggi' hair



2. this KAVANA guy not dat fames as the others but i remember having him on my wall much to my mum objections *i have my share of rebellion too*



3. remember BRITNEY when she still a sweet innocent girl?



4. BACKSTREET BOYS turns backstreet man *pis* ouh, check out Nick's 'cool' hair



5. how can i forget WESTLIFE?



6. or SPICE GIRLS with their girl power



7. lastly my favourite boyband back then ~911~



LEE is so damn bloody cute okayyyyyyy
dulu time skolah i have this habit of balut exam pad
pastu letak la gambar mamat ni
siap balut ngn plastik lagi kasi waterproof
i think i still have it sumwhere among my school days junk
*apparently i have issues parting with wat i considered mine even tough it's junk*

ahhhhh...those were the days~
