overdue

Yes yes, I should be updating my blog.

I've been waiting for Azzura to email me the photos of Anim's engagement, but it's been days and no pictures of a pretty lady in blue made way into my gmail. I wanted to make this whole dramatic post about her, and the fact that she didn't tell us - let alone invite us! - to her engagement on the 10th of December. And to think that Azzura knew about it and didn't say a thing! Not even during Nurul's wedding, coz yeah... she knew since then! I felt like I was stabbed when I found out :(

Well. Not really. Dramatic ni. haha.

What happened was, me, Azzura and Noran were at Anjung, this makan place near my home to have our dinner and supper [yes, we stayed that long]. We were waiting for Animz on the false pretext that Azzura wanted to show us pictures of her duduk belakang friend at the office [long story; no time to explain]. And doing so requires a laptop coz it's in her thumbdrive, and Animz had the laptop. When Animz finally came, and sat down, and turned on her laptop, we three were made to close our eyes, and I knew immediately something was up. Or she wanted to give us presents. But it wasn't anyone's birthday. So we waited. Until she told us to open up our eyes. And we did.

Appeared on the screen was a nicely made bed, with what seemed to be satin bedsheet. Now, in the Malay culture, a picture of a nicely made bed with satin bedsheet can only mean two things: an engagement, or a wedding. And I heard Noran said "aaa awak tunang ke Anim?" I think I was in denial for a good 10 seconds, coz I thought, hey... Animz would have invited me! And Noran! The freaks!

Boy was I wrong.

And a few seconds after that, a picture of a lovely looking Animz in a pretty blue baju kurung, and bunned-up hair. And I said, with all the sarcastic energy I could gather up in 3 seconds: SOMEBODY GOT ENGAGED! Which was met with laughter from the girls, but dang it Animz! And you too, Zura!

Me and Noran was more shocked at the engagement rather than feeling angry about them not telling us, but it was fun when they both said sorry and asking us not to do the same when we get engaged, insya Allah. And yeah, I actually do understand that Anim's decision to be engaged was not planned [under 2 weeks of preparation!], and even Azzura didn't know the date of the engagement, thus she too was not there. But still... it was fun. hehe.

Congratulations, Animz dearie. After all you've been through, you deserve this.

And if anyone I am close to decides to pull this kind of stunt hoping that I won't be upset, then you got another thing coming right at ya, buddy.

Pictures will be up soonest I get them. *sneers at Zura*

More news soon. Right now, I have a boyfriend whom I could I use a little cuddle from.

Ciao, all~

nuts over toffee

Last Monday was the 2nd annual commencement ceremony of the ADP Department of SEGi College, and it was, I think, pretty much a blast. There were of course a few things that can be worked on, but attendance was good, and we were ahead of schedule. Of course, there was this little incident where there were not enough certificates up on stage for the graduates, but Nurul handled the situation like a pro [who was a little freaked!]. And the was also the alumni members of Upper Iowa University who - I'm not exaggerating - graced the event. I hope when I graduate next year, they'd come again.

That is, if I do graduate next year. oooo pray for me!

And then there was my final exam papers on Tuesday and Wednesday. I fucked my Business Law paper, but I think I did kinda well for Writing for Media. But whatever... I'm on a month long holiday! whee~

... though I have to spend it working. Where else can I get money for the dance next year?

Better log out now. Am now using Ikin's uber-cool laptop at Starbucks, KL Central. Anna [Ikin's bro's gf] makes the best iced chocolate ever! Yummy~

Ciao~

OMG! major update ahead!

Has it really been that long since my last post?

I'm not sure if I have enough time to do a lengthy post, but here's an update nevertheless. Accompanied by a few pictures. And you all know that when it comes to me, pictures are very hard to come by. hehe.

And let's start it off with Nurul's wedding to a very lucky Fikri.

I love this picture! Taken from Azzura :)

The wedding was held at Nurul's home in Kajang on the 25th November, and of course, with a Bollywood theme. I've never been to a Malay wedding that plays solely Hindi songs before! She was gorgeous, I have to say, and I am so happy that she is happy. Her pelamin or dais was simple, but nevertheless beautiful. And i can't stress this enough... she was GORGEOUS!

2 freaksters down, 8 more to go... I wonder who's next?

The very next day was Reena's and Apip's wedding.


She was one of the girls who i used to hang out with, and one of my Backroom/Movement partners. And that's how she and Apip met, to be honest. All thanks to Yanti and her supermobile! haha. Anyways, we weren't especially close to each other... but she is one of the people who colored my life back in 2000. They hooked up just 3 months before my Babe and I, but no, that does not mean that wedding bells are ringing just yet for us. :P

Goodness... I honestly miss those days.

More pictures from the weddings can be seen here, but there's not many from Reena's.

And moving on...

On Monday, Alia suddenly had some sort of urge to bake. Yup, bake. So I came over and we made some lover-ly lemon and peach muffins, and fruit truffles.

Don't judge muffins by their... uhh... look?

Admittedly, they don't look like much. In fact, they're actually burnt. But they were delish, nevertheless. Alia wasn't too happy about it, but she munch on them like nobody's business anyways. But kudos to both of us for somewhat successfully made our first muffins EVER! yeay~

So that's all for now. Oh, and just for the heck of it, here's a couple of pictures of my little angels/devils/loves of my life.

Amir Haziq, Megat Andhar, Puteri Nur Irdina [believe it or not, she's the naughtiest of them all!]

Faidhi Ilham - bundle of joy!

And that is all... for now. :)

Ciao~

crabby.

Allergy reaction sucks.

Not being able to eat crab happily without a worry of an allergy attack SUCKS even more!!! But I'll find a way >:P

I missed two classes so far this week, and one more later today. My fever has subsided, but my body is still somewhat achy, and my throat hurts a lot less than yesterday. Don't get me started on the phlegm, though. ughh.


I managed to finish up my Abnormal Psychology assignment without any sleepless nights... yeay! It's due today at 2:15 pm, so although I won't be going to class, I still need to get to college and hand-in my assignment.

On another note, former clubbing buddies of mine are getting married! Reena and Afif, I wish you guys all the best, and I'll definitely be coming to the reception!

Shower time! whee~

belated Hallow's Eve

Friday was wonderful. One of the most memorable nights this year thus far. I didn't come in a costume, but it was still great nevertheless.

Our department [the ADP department] in SEGi held a Halloween Night as the big end to our spooktacular week. Yeah, it's two weeks late... but 31st October was during our Raya holiday, and our department had a Psychology thing last week. I took part in a play as I too am doing a Psychology subject this semester. Preparation for it was bad, though the result was not as disastrous as I thought it would have been. I was a doctor attending to my patients with various psychological disorders... haha!

Anyways, back to the Halloween celebration. As part of the countdown to the party, we had a few activities lined-up during the whole week, and I was helping out with the Movie Day we held on Tuesday. We screened Amityville Horror, and of course, I didn't stay for the movie. I would scare me out of... whatever I wore that day. haha. Amanda did a great job at attracting the customers though. Other activities included a PS2 tournament, tattoo and food booth, the student/lecturer auction and of course, the fashion show... which I half-heartedly joined in. Sudha was desperate for models, and I thought "hey, why not?" But when I got home, it turned into "Oh God, WHY?!" haha. But all is good... I didn't fall off the wooden thingy that was the runway! yeay!

And at the party itself I was in charge of two performances... one was the Whose Line Is It Anyway-style game that in my personal opinion, I could've organized better. But it was great nevertheless... Thanks to my actors Hadi, Jack and Joshua, and of course, Dahlia. I think the audience loved it... a repeat performance one day, perhaps? And i rocked as the host too, of course :P

The other one was a result from a proposal Mr. Vijay made that we couldn't refuse... exactly a week before the big night, he told us that if we manage to prepare a few performances within 7 days, we won't have to do our group assignment. And we were crazy... and none of us hesitated to agree. And so me and another friend, Shiura was appointed as the drama leaders/scriptwriters/directors of a Halloween play.

It was freaking insane... the thing is, writing the script wasn't too bad, and finding the actors was hard, though wasn't the hardest part. The most difficult was gathering everyone up ON TIME to rehearse. We didn't get to have a proper rehearsal until a few hours before the party started! I was freaking out, and so did my lead actress, Nurul. But as soon as we ended our rehearsal, I just had a good vibe about the whole thing. There were minor glitches here and there, but everything went considerably smooth.

haha. Well this is a pretty lengthy post on a college party with no booze, don't you think? The thing is, up until last semester, you wouldn't caught me dead on stage saying even one little line... unless it's a presentation and my grades depend on it. But this week alone, I was on stage twice, and I was nowhere near a nervous breakdown! Those who knew me would realize that I always try to get away from doing anything that involves speaking in front of an audience, but I have to say [though this may sound really corny], the Public Speaking class I took last semester helped a great deal in getting rid of my anxiety. Sure, I still get nervous going up on stage... but I don't hide from it anymore... instead, I embrace it... :P So THANK YOU Dr. Steven... you r0x0r!

haih. I'm getting sooo sleepy. I should be doing my assignment right now, It's due on Wednesday. I know, I know... I do this to myself all the time. And no, I don't work better under pressure. I just have this relationship I can't get out of with procrastination... haha.

I'm off. Till my next post, y'all. Ciao~
