wedding bells are ringing!!
for the past few weeks, one by one of my friends got married. and last weekend, i was invited to attend the weddings of my 4 dearest friend - fadzly and aliah hanim, and najibah and nazeem.
on saturday, my cuz, Hana and hubby picked me up from home to go to the wedding dinner of fadzly and aliah. it was such a grand yet simple affair. aliah looked so sweet in her purple outfit and boy oh boy, fadzly just looked amazing that night. i am sooo happy for both of them. fadzly even sang a song for aliah. my tears were just swelling in my eyes. what a sweet couple. knew fadzly first when we were in poly way back in 1997. well, knew him from chatting actually. became close to him and his group of friends. then in 1999, aliah came into the picture. they have always look good together.
fadzly and aliah, may both of you have a blessed life together as husband and wife. it's a start of a new journey for both of you. stay loving together. congratulations my dear friends.
the couple, me, hana, zuraimi and lil fathin
then on sunday, it was the wedding of my secondary school friends - najibah and nazeem. well, they were together for abt 10yrs before they actually decide to tie the knot. that's way too long. but, good to see them finally continuing their journey in life as husband and wife. was very closed to najibah when we were in school. both of us headed the malay language club for abt 2 yrs, and we worked great together. jibah looked so relax just now before nazeem came. well, she was so relaxed that she dont seem to feel the heat in the songket outfit. she was just laughing away, catching up with friends and all. she looked elegant and so poise in her outfit.
jibah and nazeem, congratulations on your wedding. wish both of you the best as husband and wife. there is no straight road in any journey in life. be strong in any obstacles that may come for the best thing in life might just be around the corner.
nazeem and najibah
and in these kinda occasions that you are able to meet your friends that you havent meet for ages. i met up with a few of them and it was refreshing. and well, a couple of my peers have a kid or two. some got engaged, and one or two still looking for the perfect partner. went to najibah's place with hairani, sabariah and azhar. met them at ang mo kio mrt stn. sabariah looked happy as always. nuthing change abt her tho. still as bubbly as ever. she's engaged to be married in march next year. hairani completed her studies at NTU and still looking for a permanent job. as for now, she is doing some temporary job. azhar still have one more semester left at NUS. such a fine lad tho. he accompanied me at ang mo kio mrt stn while waiting for my mum to come. that was sweet of him. melda is happily married and is in her 2nd trimester of pregnancy. congrats gerl!! azlin is engaged and teaching at radin mas primary school. suzieyanti just came back from perth. she spent 4 yrs at UWA, majoring in english, if i am not wrong. oh well, how i miss those days.....

KL trip
well... on the whole, i had fun during the KL trip. it was GREAT!! cept that my mobile got snatched. other than that, it was all fine. anyways, got my replacement sim card. yippeee!!!
monday 22nd dec 2003
left home at abt 2130hrs and proceeded to kranji by train to meet up with emi, tasha and naqiah. reached larkin at abt 2340hrs due to heavy traffic at the causeway. boarded the transnasional bus at just after midnite.
tuesday 23rd dec 2003
reached puduraya at abt 0500hrs. went straight to lanson place as eda, lin and lina had already checked in earlier. they went to sarawak before going over to KL to meet us. only emi and me joined the 3 of them, while tasha and naqiah went back to their cousin's place in ampang. well, didnt really meet tasha for the rest fo the trip tho. hehhe.
slept till abt 9am, and then, i called my old friend, fauzi. and he was done with his werk. interesting, ya? he said, he can leave his office already and it was just abt half past nine. told him to give me an hour for me to have my shower and all. at abt 1015hrs, he called me in the room, saying that he is already at the lobby. was sooo happy to meet up with him again after sooo long. the last time i met him was abt 2yrs ago. knew him for so bloody long. missed him. basically, spent the whole day with him. went lunch at klcc before going to midvalley. then we met up with emi at abt 1900hrs, to go to a gig performed by a fren of ours, az. left damansara at abt almost close to midnite. fetch eda at bangsar and then fetch the rest of the gerls at the hotel and off we went to have supper at ampang. i had nasi goreng pattaya.
wednesday 24th dec 2003
went sauna with eda in the morning, and when i went back to the room, fauzi was already waiting for me. hhmm... at first, i thought we were suppose to me ard lunch time. hehhee.. get ready straight away and we went to lot 10 to have brunch. had my teppanyaki and i love it. hehhee. walked ard at bukit bintang plaza before going to times square. oh boy, how much KL has changed! was very amazed with the roller coaster at times square building. that place is huge!!! then, told fauzi that i need to go to masjid india to get some scarfs for my aunty, which i didnt. coz just cldnt find any nice one for her. hhmm... sorry umi!! next time ya. after getting tired with the walking ard, we decided to go back to his apt at damansara before going for the dinner appointment at bangsar. he got changed and we then proceeded to bangsar to meet the rest of the gang. there was abt 10 of us, i think. all from rantauan.com had dinner there and photo taking and all. it was bizarre, i reckon. hehhee.
after dinner, the group split yet again. well, not all tho. the 6 of us followed kak rose to concorde to 'chill' out. hehe. spent the rest of the nite at hard rock tho. had fun there. definitely had a great time. and i love it!!!
thursday 25th dec 2003
lina and lin went out to have breakfast with a fren. while eda and kak rose had their own itenary. i was left alone in the room, and i decided to have a long shower. thought of walking alone for the day. but when i was at the lobby, lina and lin arrived in a car. told them that i was heading to klcc, and lina decided to follow me.
bought for mak the pineapple rolls that she wanted from klcc. she said they are nice. oh well, i dun eat pineapple tarts, so, what do i know. hehhee. bought two trays for her. then, we decided that we wanna go to masjid india yet again. and that's when the whole day started to came crumbling down. my mobile got pickpocketed. it just happened so fast, in a split second and i dun even realised. to think i was holding to the phone. dammit. just repaired that phone. oh well, it was meant to be, i reckon.
the mood was gone for the day. reached back at the hotel at abt 1800hrs. was just lying down in bed. still sore of what happened earlier in the day. then, liza came to our room. at least got some kaki to lepak with. we actually rented a vcd player and watched 3 dara pingitan and mr cinderella 2. well, not we tho. it was just me. the rest fell asleep as they were too tired. slept at nearly 4am.
friday 26th dec 2003
woke up at abt 9am, when lin said "jom gi breakfast kat bawah, aku belanja!!" the rest of us, jumped out of bed, washed our face and brushed our teeth, and we went downstairs to have the buffet breakfast. yummy. on the final day, just left the 4 of us - lin, lina, eda and me. after breakfast, me and eda went to sauna yet again. spend abt an hour there. went back to the room at abt 12noon, when we gotta check out by 1pm. hehhe. packed the bags, washed up and we were ready by 1pm.
went to klcc yet again. wandering ard before meeting fauzi at abt 4pm. he was at shah alam after lunch, so he cant meet up with me earlier. and the traffic was terrifying. he sent me off to pudu. kinda sad to leave him tho. dunno when i'll meet him again. gonna miss him heaps.
the bus departed pudu at abt 1745hrs. reached spore close to 1am. had a tiring journey home tho. but it was worth the travel. *smiles*
i'll upload the photos soon, even tho i didnt take that many pictures. hehhee.
SCREW YOU!!!
dammit dammit dammit...
my mobile just got stolen as i entered the lrt at klcc. dammit...aaarrrggghh... i am mobile-less now!!!!! and away from home!!! aaarrrrgghhhhh... feeling sooo pissed that i cried at the lrt station just now. cant think of anything tho.
so, those of u with my number, hang in there till i get back and get the replacement sim card. and if u can email me your numbers, it will be fine!! really really appreciate it!!
but for now, i'll continue with my swearing at the thief and u ppl be good!!! wait till i reached back home tomorrow nite!! cant wait to sleep at my own bed even tho the hotel bed is much more comfortable!!!
a quick getaway
had a very very long week, and yesterday, was kinda busy day for me. started my day at 11am in the morning. went to bishan mrt to meet up with adi. then at abt quarter to twelve, his gf came and picked us up to make our way to bedok. my classmate from ite macpherson, abdul mutalib got married yesterday. was so happy for him. during our school days, the topic abt the ustaz who married 30-40 wifes, and have the same name as him, we joked ard that i was his fourth wife as i was the youngest among the gerls in our class. hehhee.. it was lame, but well, for the fun of it. it really made our days in school more enjoyable. oh, i remembered one thing, my ex-bf used to be jealous of this talib as i was kinda close to him. but not that kinda 'flirty' close but was close due to sch work and organising a lot of stuffs for our class. hhmm.. nice chap. congrats talib and nonidayu
talib is the one in white.
after bedok, the three of us made our way to yishun, for another of our ite-mates, mohd noh. met him at geylang bazaar on malam raya, and there and then, he passed me his invitation card. he looked good in the orange songket suit for his sanding, cept that i find him a lil too skinny. but the nasi briyani at his place was yummy. and not forgetting the marble cake. hhmm.....yummy.... anyways.. congratulations mohd noh and hazliza
mohd noh in his tanjak.
i deciced to forgo another friend's wedding at ang mo kio. my poly mate and he was in brisbane too with me. my dearest, shahlan, finally tied the knot with his long time gf, yati. he was my coursemate in poly, never talked to each other before till after we graduated and found out that we were going to brisbane to pursue our studies. in fact, we were suppose to stay with each other during our stay there. anyways to shahlan and yati, congratulations
the last place i went, was to bt panjang. took a bus there from yishun interchange. met up with zuraina and hasfizal at mohd noh's place, and they dropped me at the interchange. took 171 and almost felt asleep. but i cldnt afford that as i dunno where to stop exactly. hehe.. reached there, almost everyone was eating. i cant eat anymore, as i felt bloated enough. oh yeah, it was my second cousin's wedding. wak hussien and wak saadah got their first daughter-in-law. hehe.. i didnt get to see the couple as i reached there at abt 3.30pm.
reached home just before maghrib and i felt an acute pain on my lower abs. so pain that i cant even move properly. tried sleeping soon after, facing down. the pain was really killing me. no one was at home. everybody went to the next block as the RC organised some block party in conjunction with hari raya and christmas.
well, that's my day yesterday. going off to KL tonite. will be back on friday. i really need this break. been too hectic for me for the past few weeks. till then folks....
in a search for....
- a job
so far, it has been not really encouraging. yesterday, while my dad went down to play with the rabbits, he actually called my mum up to tell me that there's an opening with his former workplace. hhmm.... then when he reached home, he actually, flipped to the page in the new paper to show me the ad, and with much enthusiasm, his face glowed and his eyes were like a sparkling diamond, he said, "girl, try to apply for the post ah. mana tahu boleh dapat.... then can set the tradition of "father-daughter" in the same werk place." aiyah.... so the leceh ah. thank god he is no longer with the organisation. but for me to work there.. hhmmm... got to really really sit down and think. is that the job that i wanna do? i hated it when my dad went to work at the oddest hour. i hated it when he came back and then went out again. and now, if i really really desperate for a job, i am going through the same thing all over again? hhmmm......
- a proper place to sleep in
hehhehe.. well, not to say that i don't have any place to sleep, but a clean and comfortable place that i can have my beauty rest would be great. and i've got it. after abt 3 weeks or so that i came back, my room had been like a ship-wrecked. it was a horrible place to even to be stepped in. and now, the ordeal is finally over. got my new wardrobe, the table is in place, the bed has a new sheet, the 'entertainment' area is dust-free, the vanity area is well sorted out. hehhee... just need to get a new mirror. that's it. and the room will be completed. oh yeah, and new curtains. mite go down to spotlight one of these days, or when i got the money to buy stuffs. i decided not to repaint my room, just because, i am lazy. hehhee.. i've put photos and stuffs on the walls. so, yeah, i wont be painting the room. let the colour be blue. hehhee
- my true self
been doing a lot of thinking myself on what i really really want. my mind had been in a total mess just like my room 3 weeks ago. so mess that i cried in my sleep. so messed up that i sometimes don't know what to do. so messed up that i feel that i just wanna go out there and shout my lungs out. i'm still finding what i want in life now. still in search for it. and i'm still clueless abt it actually. i hope to find it soon, or at most, i hope to find the right path leading to it, insya-allah.
- the set-up disk
the winxp setup disk of my pc at home gone missing. been searching for it but i cldnt find it. called the technical support and u know what?? i got to pay $80 for the disk. dammit. but i need the cd to fix my computer. my laptop need a rest!! if the laptop can talk, it will actually scream at me!! hahaha... sorry my lil baby, i promise i wont over-use you. *winks* hehhe
- money!!!
i need money!!! on my own!! i cant simply keep asking my mum whenever i wanna go out. sometimes, i rather stay home and rot than asking my mum money so that i can go out. at most, if i really really had to go, i make sure my ez-link card is full. but then, paiseh to ask my mum more money. that's why i need a job fast!!! and i'm going kl next week, got the tix already, but the problem is that... where the hell i am gonna find my spending money there?? well, dad just gave me a couple of the red notes before he left the house just now. yiipppeeee.... but, eerrmm..it is still not enough. i still have weddings to go this wekend. 4 weddings!! aiyoh... bedok, ang mo kio, yishun and bt panjang. well spread huh? from one end to the other end. hhmm....
- answers
i need answers to the questions that have been lingering in my mind!! too many questions and there were always no answers. the answers are mostly very very vague. hhmm....
well, i guess, i'll continue my search from here....
room service anyone?
well, finally my wardrobe arrived yesterday afternoon at abt half past four. been cleaning the room since then. only slept at abt 6 in the morning just now and woke up at 8am when the phone beep. did some stuffs, and clean here and there. didnt actually realised that i have loads of skirts. as for now, i have abt 12 skirts, and i still have more coming in the cargo. muahhahaha
i am still rearranging my stuffs in the room. from the bed, to the tv, to the table, well, basically everything. everything got a new place on its own now. the bed is now under the window, i think i shall settle for this single bed till i got married, which i dun know when. hehhee. berangan jer si naz nie!! the table is just beside the wardrobe. the tv and the black.. hhmm.. black apa eh? this black eerrrr.... show case? almari? u know the almari with a clear door... yeah, that's the one. oh god, i cant think. i have my trophies from my sec sch days, and my collection of shot glass from the places that i've been to and from the ppl who go for holidays and have me in their mind. hehe.. its kinda full tho. well, that's beside the point. what i'm trying to say, is that the tv and that black thing are on the other side of the walls. oh yeah, not forgetting my cd racks. there are still loads of things on my bed now, and on the floor too. hehhe.. dunno how to clear them. but then, at least my suitcases are now empty. yiipppeeee.... finally, i can use clothes taken from the wardrobe, and not from the suitcase.
need to get back to the mess. well, actually, my mind is as messy as my room. well, i think it's worst. hate it tho. just too many things happened lately, till i dunno what to do. so mess that my mind went blank. i'm having my dose of walls' chocolate heaven. yummy almost 2/3 of the tub's gone. hhmmm.. shld i finish it or leave some for adik? hhmm.. oh well, i know its hers, but its been in the fridge for the past 2 weeks.
will try to capture my room when it's done, okies. tu pon kalau lawa ah. hehehe... have a great week, guys.
lazy lazy lazy.....
how lazy can one be? well, i am very very very very super lazy. i dunno what got into me. but, all i wanna do is NOTHING!!!. practically nuthing. life since i've been back mostly just revolve in my room, or rather, on my bed. yes, my pathetic single bed!! even my laptop is on my bed, and my half of my bed has been taken up by 2 poohs, 1 carebear and a huge mickey mouse. aiyah. how can i practically fit into that small bed?? i want my old queen-size bed back!!!
hhmm.. i still take my clothes from my suitcase. havent really unpack. eh, nopes.. that's not right. I HAVENT EVEN UNPACK!! aarrrgghh.. oh god, what have i become? oh dear. my stuffs are still inside the 2 suitcase i brought home with me almost 3 weeks ago. and i still have 3 other bags that i've asked my friends to bring back for me. i have yet to really really unpack it. how do you expect me to unpack when my wardrobe is full of clothes which are not even mine. and the wardrobe is falling any time now. ordered a new wardrobe but it wont come till next week. aarrrgghhh.. my table is in a mess. the other pc is not werking, courtesy of my lil sister. and her stuffs are still in my room. she's driving me nuts sometimes. aarrrgghh..
for the past few days, i've been on the net almost 24hrs a day, 7 days a week. till my mum said, "gi masuk sekali kat computer tu... sampai tido pun masih menghadap ajer..." sorry mak, i just cant seem to do any other things other than staring at the screen. hahaha.. the lazy bug has really really hit me coz, sometimes, i can even be lazy to eat. that's really really bad. and the thing is sometimes, i wasnt even chatting on the net, not even blogging. then what the hell am i doing then? hhmm.. taking naps while on the net. lying down on my bed while on the net. or just merely looking at the half-painted ceiling in my room while being on the net. talking abt half-paint, i really need to paint my room. hey wait, not my room only, basically the whole house. cant remember the last time we painted the hse. was it before my brother's wedding? hhmm.. i remember painting part of the living room the last raya i was ard. and my room needs a new colour. have been having this blue for a while now. tot of painting it orange this time round. hehhee..
going out later to have a hi-tea with my cousins. suppose to go out at 1.30pm, but it's already 1.15pm and i'm still on my bed typing all this and i have yet to shower. aaaarrrrgghh... so, i reckon, i better run now.... catch u ppl again soon, that is, if i am not lazy.
hehehhehe
reunited
finally, after abt one and a half week i'm back, i met up with my best friend, zuraina, just now. the last time i met her was on valentine's day this year, the day before i left for brisbane. we finally set our eyes on each other yet again at abt 4pm at orchard mrt stn. *geez* how i miss this little friend of mine. hidayah was suppose to join us but she gotta go to NUH as her dad was admitted.
*sorry to hear abt your dad, dayah. hope he has a speedy recovery. and i am so sorry for not informing you that i'm back. i am really hoping to meet you next week, ya.*
zuraina and i, then walked to orchard... eerrrr... what building was it... the one that has a burger king at the basement, opposite somerset mrt, yeah.. that's the one. had our lunch/dinner there. finally, had my bbq bacon burger. it doesnt taste as good as the last time i had it tho. maybe this one is just a single one not the normally double. hhmm... cld that be the reason? had a good talk with her face to face after so long. she looked through the photo albums that i brought along.
i wanted to go to carrefour at suntec and we took no. 36 and stopped at the convention ctr. the bus ride was a real bumpy one. pening beb. when we reached there, only to find out that carrefour is closed for the annual stock-taking. aarrrgghh.... what a rotten luck. we then walked to citilink mall heading to the mrt stn to go back home. but somewhere in the middle of the way, we decided to have a drink and a munch at pacific coffee (if that's really the name of the coffee place infront of HMV at citilink mall. hehhe).
at 9pm, we walked to city hall mrt to head home. took the train to marina bay so that we can have the seats. hehehe.. so typical sporeans. oh well, who cares. can even took a photo before the train left the station. hehhe
reached home at abt quarter to 10. mum and sis were already home.
me and zuraina - marina bay mrt stn
well, friends and family, i'm back in spore. i'm sorry if i didnt inform any sooner abt my arrival here in spore. reached spore just days before raya, and it has been a hectic period for me. i hope you guys understand. do call me at home if u guys dont hear from me any time soon. not that i forget, but, like i said, hope you guys understand. *smiles* my home number is still the same. havent change for the last 5yrs or so. if u cant get me, email me your new/old mobile number, insya-allah, i'll call. and if time permits and god's willing, we'll meet up soon.

hati ini telah dilukai - ajai & kris dayanti
Semalaman
Terkenangkan diri mu
Lalu airmata ku
Membasahi pipi
Mengapakah kau sanggup
Meninggalkan diri ku
Sedangkan kau tahu
Perasaan ini
Kau berjanji
Akulah kekasih mu
Sanggup ku singkirkan
Semua cinta yang lalu
Tidak ku duga
Ini akan terjadi
Kata perpisahan
Yang kau pinta
Biarkanlah...
Biarkan aku hidup sendirian
Tak ingin ku mengenangkan kisah lama
Biarkanlah...
Biarkan aku hidup sendirian
Kerana hati ini telah dilukai
