photoblog.

because DIZZIE did it! hahaha. and yes, your jamban post hit the nail on the head. you're now elected the honorary general secretary of jambanism. haha.

because i said i will do it when i feel less lazy and now i DO feel less lazy. wow!

because because la.

today it was salvation army bukit timah where vintage suitcase hunt shuddered to its death. i'll just look for it at melbourne then. took advantage of the bukit timah campus shuttle. shall use it next time to eat at adam road and serene centre and al- ameen! after salvation army was al- ameen for fried noodles, fried rice with beef, and ROJAK POWER. which was really power, btw.

i'll shut up now. PICS!

on the way to vivocity. happy la can. going to EAT!

mamak.

i did not find vintage suitcases in toys'r'us but i found a suitable outfit for melbourne.

on the way to salvation army in FREE shuttle bus! hehehe.

same ol' story, no vintage suitcase, but lots of snappy footwear...

the first are authentic cow leather cowboy boots, the second are hush puppies wellingtons- half rubber half leather, the last is a mustard- yellow hush puppies mens' shoe and a Jean Paul Gaultier weapon of mass mutilation aka a BOOT with PLATFORM so thick and BULKY that while i tried to pull it it hit my stomach AND THAT REALLY HURT OKAY.

i want arts fac to be moved to bukit timah also. the food options are so much better CAN.

my fried rice. i rate good food by its ability to transport me- good asam pedas brings me to my home in west coast when my mum travelled for her job and my late dad cooked us some kick- ass asam pedas that was the best asam pedas i ever ate in my life; good soft waffles brings me to the cold dewy mornings in ban tham village, chiang mai where dogs wore sweaters; and THIS fried rice had me immediately in port dickson, malaysia with my cousins eating at another roadside stall- complete with background construction noise.

rojak power was really really power okay. 3$ only got MANGO and GREEN APPLE and CHAR KWAY and alot of things la.

his noodles. not bad at all. pretty good stuff.

washed down with coke and milo dinosaur, yummy.

the rojak power man! see that thing he's holding in his hand? the pink small thing? its a FUHLAWERRR! for MEEEEEEEEE!

i neber bluff.

and now for random shots when i was feeling- feeling photographer...

i've been told that i had mosquito eyes before. you know, compound eyes, which according to wikipedia the resource of all knowledge worthy and useful, "compound eyes have poor image resolution (hence the contact lenses, HEYY!); however, they possess a very large view angle and the ability to detect fast movement and, in some cases, the polarization of light."

i never really quite believed it till this.

i'm a believer.

thank you, good night, and goodbye.

budget dating.

his paper ended at 7 and we were out by 8. i think the ritualistic mugging- sleeping- eating- mugging- sleeping days are making me more desperate for absolutely ANY form of outings. hence the cold storage on monday, vivo yesterday, and jurong east today.

vivo was banquet lunch- teriyaki bento was yummy but small servings meant i was very hungry only hours later! began hunt for vintage suitcase, to no avail. toys'r'us was fun. pics to be uploaded when i'm not feeling too lazy... which is most likely never. vivo's forever21 is a nightmare- its like a department store with more expensive clothes. i only saw 3 nice dresses and there were all $80 and above. i thought they were supposed to be... cheaper. i almost broke out in rashes because they had stuff in such BRILLIANT prints but the designs were gag- worthy. woe is me. did manage to get an eclair from beardpapa's which is yum, and PODS from candy empire which is YUMYUMYUM. its basically wafer biscuits with twix/ snickers/ mars/ mint filling. i bought mars and now i'm the proud owner of bite- size orgasms. mmm.

so what was today? okay yesterday. you know what i mean. he had a paper at 5, ended at 7, and we got to jurong east at 8ish.

first stop- cash converter. saw a LOVELY luggage bag- a steal for $69. tan leather, very 50s, snap buckles, the work. LOVELOVELOVE. then it was a walk among the shops and got my white tights- $3! bubble tea for each of us- green apple for me and chocolate for him. a wander about jurong entertainment centre- oh the pjc memories! winter time had REALLY cute kids' sweaters. $30 and above. not bad, but could be cheaper, non? then it was banditto pockett meal for dinner- cheese fries devoured by cheese maniac.

then the night market to get freaked out by fruit seller shouting "OLOLOLOLOLOLO!" right. casio watch for him cuz the one he got at chinatown died hahaha, tried on cheap heels, and then we got 3 cigarette cases, cuz it was 3 for $10- no point buying two for $8 when $2 more could get us another. so why did two ~~non~~anti- smokers buy cigarette cases (not that we hate smokers we just get horrible cough fits when we're near ANY smoke)? cuz we are INTENSELY fascinated by it (for some weird bizarre reason i don't know why) and we figured it could hold cards, cash, etc. the third one will be of use, worry not. mine is pretty! as mentioned, pictures when i am less lazy.

then it was bus ride home and madcap rush to catch project runway. the only reality show i'm quite keen on watching cuz the designs are always so purtyyyy.

and now its tv room for aircon, possibly a vcd to watch, and FIFA playing for him. i will start proper mugging tomorrow i promise. in fact to attest to that, i will go download past year papers now, yeah!

btw, anyone with tips about ANYTHING to do with melbourne, email me or tag me. much love.

i am a happy happy bunny.

herewego.

one down two to go.

first paper was okay. no point thinking of it anymore.

time to let myself get a little bit more excited about my trip to melbourne after the exams! between today till the last paper on the 6th, its gonna be pretty fast. then its off to down under come 9th. yay!

gonna watch cartoons now. its the perfect remedy post- science exam.

Monday, November 27, 2006

this is it.

okay i need to pee, wash up a lil' bit, then sleep.

exam in 9 hours time. i hope i'm prepared enough.

nervous.

let's hope it goes okay. and let's hope what i studied stays in my head.

gastronomy

13 hours from now i will sit for the first of my 3 papers. biodiversity, soci of emotions then soci of religion and dundo.

i am still brimming with pride after i finished an ENTIRE REGULAR PIZZA. yup, an entire hawaiian regular from pizza hut ALL BY MYSELF. i feel invincible.

i also ate sambal petai today and my farts are stupendously smelly. hahaha.

hmm. what's petai in english ah. peas? and what's ikan bilis? small fish?

according to the ever- reliable Wikipedia aka the Bible of WWW, "Parkia speciosa (petai, twisted cluster bean, yongchaak or stink bean), is a plant of the genus Parkia in the family Fabaceae."

whatever that means. i've always found pictures more explanatory.

see? that's EXACTLY what i ate and those green stuff are petais or parkia speciosa. sounds vulgar if you ask me.

after dinner at canteen (of parkia speciosa and ANCHOVIES or Setipinna taty), it was cold storage pasir panjang to get contact lense solution and basic grub cuz the supermarket at PGP sucks.

suresh almost made us alight at HAW PAR VILLA cuz he thought the large warehouse across the street was the cold storage i was talking about. the name of the building was blocked so i asked him what it was.

suresh: carrefour!
fiza: really? i didn't know they had one here.
*bus moves*
fiza: that's CHARCOAL.

but it was a very nice quaint place, that cold storage, has oiishi pizza which looks good and is damn cheap. and i got my contact lense solution and yoghurt and nutella. so yay.

well okay. back to biodiversity. and dizzie, check your mail!

oh and good luck for the exams everyone. see you at the end of the roooooooad.

Friday, November 24, 2006

okay.

the relief is so palpable right now i think i'm going to sink into the sofa i'm sitting in and disappear forever in the eternal world of bliss where papers are submitted 4.5 hours ahead of deadlines.

off to home for some recuperating. all these late nights and laptop staring is driving me crazy. mug for tuesday paper, watch some soccer, mug some more, rest alot, CSI on sunday. weekend is the good life.

happy weekend y'all, and thank god its here.

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH

WARGRGRGRGRGRGRGRGGRKGJRTIGNWEQKWRSMNH.

2448 WORDS!

I AM SO CLOSE TO THE END! (of the essay. not my life. or sanity. or anything of that sort.)

SO CLOSE!

SO CLOSE TO THE END THAT I CAN SMEEEEEEEEEEEEEELL IT IN THE AIR!

and nowwwwwwwwwwww the end is neaaaaaaaaaar, and so i faaaaaaaace, the final curtaiiiin.

okay now i have to finish my paper (for real) before i start convulsing from the joy of ALMOST finishing, frothing and passing out and never finish my paper.

my life is always in such precarious states.

i want a basin of hot water to stick my feet in, knee- high blue socks with cloud prints and hot spicy food. my toes are freezing and i think by the time i finish my essay i'll have to amputate them.

i love you for eating microwaveable food with me

dinner time: fong seng was too far, considering we'd need to withdraw money from Arts fac then walk all the way to fong seng. the bus ride to arts is considerably long as well. so it was bus ride to NUH (that's a hospital, yes) for supposed 24- hour kopitiam...

that was not.

my entire life has become a parody since i started on this paper. but anyway the only malay stall that was open had several dried- up looking food or unpalatable leftovers and there was only 2 other chinese stalls left plus the drinks stall; so 7- 11 it was for microwaveable mushroom naan and chicken bolognaise. washed down with toast, half- boiled eggs and tea. not too bad.

i told him to get his own drink and he refused, even though i threatened not to share my tea.

suresh: *drinks tea* hmm, this is actually pretty good.
me: i told you (that the tea would be pretty good).
suresh: ya la! stubborn right! told you cannot drink my tea still drink!

on the walk back;

suresh: so are we walking back?
suresh: *in a high- pitched voice* what?! are you crazy?!
suresh: *regular voice* okay, we'll just wait for the bus then.

i'm afraid one of these days he'll replace me himself; and he can be his very own feisty tyrannical girlfriend who refuses to share her tea or walk more than 100m.

... and i'm not quite ready for that. so chill out, mrs suresha.

la vien en rose

am finally in my happy little spot in the world- the spot where i am in the 'groove' of writing, and no longer doubting my capabilities. albeit i type haltingly, cuz so much is at stake. but yes, no more essay disasters.

i'm listening to edith piaff's la vien en rose to shut out the noise of the canteen (yes we're nomads- we study EVERYWHERE, arts, business, PGP canteen) and the moment the song began the world kind of just filtered away and became very pretty black and white pictures of older france... a rainy day in a busy street, people in black trench coats carrying black umbrellas... a busy market... everything. black and white. I CAN'T WAIT FOR THIS SEM TO END so that i can snap happy pictures!

but yes, la vien en rose and damien rice = conducive studying music. :)

Wednesday, November 22, 2006

baaaaahhfffff. baaaaaaafhhrrrr. garrrfhhhh.

this is probably the closest i will ever come to depression, if i even know what depression feels like. i may not know the symptoms but the trigger is all the same: trying to write 3000 words on how shrek 2 is, weeeeell, sort of a parody, yeah... but not really.

fellow sociologists, survey IMH or any psychological ward- i'm sure those coherent enough to speak and be understood will have some wrath to unleash with regards to that attempt on writing an essay about shrek; the parody (or not).

i am stuck on 184 words of introduction and i can't go on because i am convinced whatever i type next will face the same consequences as the previous 18497567 words i've typed:

SHFT + <-, DEL.

this is the end of the world as we know it.

i googled end of the world images and i got this. oh well. at least the leader of the most powerful nation in the world has a sense of humour. or not. this could a parody, sort of... but not really.

toodle- loo.

this is what i feel about my upcoming weekend:

i've got a presentation and a paper to do. i'm sorry i keep whining about this but I HAVE EXAMS COMING UP which i haven't revised for and everyone else have started so yes, i am one bitter woman.

on a bright note; i've got soccer to watch as usual but its an away game to Middlesborough and going by Liverpool's form lately i'm not sure watching it will do much good to my current mood. but i am a die- hard fan, and a foolish one at that.

oh yes! i am posted this photo via blogger, not photobucket. how verklempt. don't bother dictionary.com- ing that, i made it up. photobucket is undergoing maintenance. NOW. how convenient. and is kunta- kintei a word? sara said i made it up but i swear i've heard it before.

off to home i am, and hopefully when i'm back Sunday night i'll be saying, "done with my paper whoo!" then followed by, "now for my lit paper." if i don't blog then its because i am NOT done with my paper hahaha. oh dear god i'm losing my sense of humour.

why does it always rain on meeeee. guess the song and win a cookie!

p.s.: for all the empty promises i make on this blog i deserve my very own throne in Bloggers' Hell. with devil's horn and spiked tail, hoo yeah.

p.p.s: the eye is better for those concerned. NO it is not OOZING okay. so disgusting la oozing. it is however, producing mucus- like liquid on a regular basis but NO, THAT IS NOT OOZING.

in other news, a kiwi fruit emits 5 times its own weight in greenhouse gases when its flown from New Zealand to Britain so EAT LOCALLY PRODUCED FRUITS y'all.

off to home WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.

okay i want to babble some more (despite the lack of content hurhur) but suresh insists that we have to go now or i will be damned for eternity. these indians are so bloody drama.

okay fine SURESH i made that up he didn't say anything i just have to go now. OKAYBYE.

Thursday, November 16, 2006

swollen eye is teh shits.

woke up with half my world on the left side missing. hahaha. left eye was swollen and of course, today was the day i had a presentation. -_-

iced it and it went down a little then headed for class. presentation went okay then it was YIH to visit the doctor. eye infection, blablabla, eye drops, no contact lense.

AND i got the flu. life sucks. how to fight battle like that?

response paper due tomorrow done. now for presentation and group paper due next monday, and lit paper due next friday. i haven't even started revising. grrrrh.

tonight i pray for unswollen eyes and unrunny nose.

Tamil 101

i am bored.

i can't get started on my biodiversity paper. BAH HUMBUG.

i got A- for my religion paper yay!

amma yilek appa yilek ursepolek watamerenda poituwarek.

TAKE THAT!

that is about 3/4 of all tamil words i know in a sentence. according to suresh it means,

"no mother, no father, if you got body like needle, i'll go and come again".

having a tamil boyfriend has taught me zilch.

old pics.

went to borders but couldn't find the paperback- only the coffee table sized connelly. so i'll save my borders splurge for the end of exams. yay!

pictures from derek's birthday.

derek's thought bubble: yeahhhh bring on the R(A) flicks!

focus on the chocolate fountain in the distance. slurp.

old mc'donalds had a farm...

raya gathering for windsorians.

do you feel our OZZ- TASTIC vibe?

went to HMV instead and among the throngs of VCDs on sale- i found THE LITTLE RASCALS! $12.95 last copy! watched it immediately when i got back. LOVE. i remembered each and every scene and what they said and it was pure madness and i was 9 again.

okay. off to watch shrek 2. FOR MY PAPER okay. haha. yes i'm writing a paper on Shrek 2. analyze elements of irony, parody and whether it fails or succeeds etc. whatever happened to good old 4.5 popcorns, this movie rocks fullstop? sigh. uni life complicates everything.

even the ugly ogre.

of legshorts, tallest legs and sermoners.

crazy long- ass day of raya visiting. supposed to start at 2.15 p.m. lakeside and it became like, 3.15 p.m. but in the spirit of goodwill and hari raya etc, i will forgive the apek who caused the delay.

so anyway. it was jurong area- hasyim's, ain's then yunus'. bukit batok- fahrur. bukit panjang- hafiz lim and norm. admiralty- mine, then aaaaaaaaaall the way to east for haqeem who is in Aussie but whose parents' kindly invited ruz (and thus all 12 of us hahaha) over then ruz's. PHEW.

long long day but there's been so much laughter and food and smiles and crazy crazy people i can hardly complain. i truly had a great time and i hope it won't end here. all that "a- wim- ba- we a- wim- ba- we a- wim- ba- we a- wim- ba- we a- wim- ba- we" chants with tribal dance and all, random hari raya songs with dancing and hee- haw hee- haw ad- libing... everything was LOVE. :)

so what else? pictures!

these are the bapak (daddy) camwhores- use MY camera to take pictures of themselves behind my back! tsk tsk tsk.

see, same person- but this time at least use cameraphone haha.

labu- labi.

bujang lapok.

and guess whooooooooooo went visiting this year?

sarip bin awang jambul. HAHA. remember when we went to geylang and bought something more than just burgers and dendeng? yeap. :) nehneh's first raya in a baju melayu. yay!

fiza: so, what is hari raya visiting to you?
suresh: lots of food.
fiza: haha some more?
suresh: haha and talk alot of cock.

hahahaha.

according to yunus;

"then the imam, the, what is that ah? sermoner?"

HAHA.

according to ruz;

"we can sit at the back of hasyim's car (where its damn small) because i have leg short."

AHAHAHA. and so was spawned a catchphrase- stupidity = LEGSHORT!

then suresh had a legshort moment. i forgot about what.

everyone: LEGSHORT!
suresh: ah ya ya, i'm the one with the tallest legs here...

HAHAHAHA. it was priceless hari raya jokes in the making. i see this dragging on years down the road. LEGSHORT!

the most fun bits was really in the car, when we wail random hari raya songs, or chant "a- wim- ba- we" like a bunch of red indians. glorious glorious fun.

the only two couples. and umm, with ruz on her hot pink RAZR.

the guys. don't need to say, confirm my nehneh most handsome. wear samping all okay! you know the sweat and toil that went into that black piece of cloth around his waist or not? DAMN SHAG LA! then we didn't have buttons for the top also then when we got it, the button holes were not really holes so we had to cut them open with pins and blades! just to wear buttons was like, 45 minutes! madness.

the girls. all pretty la, don't need to say. haha.

the everyone. i dunno why i legshort.

these pictures had such retro vibes...

i just had to do this. hafiz's songkong had a huge- ass brooch la! it should have had GPRS, that apek got lost even in a carpark. -_-

in the car.

i dunno why ruz looked sad here. she was tired. and thirsty. and high from the petrol smell. i think.

but...

she smiles here and this is fast becoming my favourite pic. so happy hari raya shalalalala.

mandatory couple shots. yes i changed at my place cuz my bottom was so tight i couldn't eat anymore! and what is the meaning of hari raya visiting if i can't EAT?!

group shot at my home. stairs. haha.

group shot at ruz's bed. the cat pee, is not within view. hahaha.

its been a blast blast blast AND i finally got my birthday present from ruz/ lim/ norm/ naz (who apparently described me to norm as the girl who "smiles from here (points to one ear) to here (points to other ear)". CHAIT! but nehmind, borders gift card punya pasal, forgiven. new michael connelly paperback whee! dizzie go buy- echo park; just published. :D

above all though, this guy has made it the most fantastickest brilliantest fantabulousest hari raya visiting everrrr.

xie- xie ni. manjen kutekel pinal nelenggel.

na wune kadeleikeren.

okay. amma yilek appa yilek byeeeeeeeeeee!

shaggedelic

went for classes today. last class ended 7ish- film & history. watched the 1978 version of superman and it was BAD.

it was hard enough to suspend reality for superman returns which already tried its best to be as 'realistic' as possible. well about as 'realistic' as you can get when you have a man flying around in underpants. this version was just... bad. corny, i suppose.

besides i needed something really interesting to keep me awake after sleeping at 7, AGAIN, and waking up at 12ish, AGAIN. if this goes on i just might start resembling dracula.

so post- movie was quick drive back, changed, and slept till... well now. and now i'm sitting in the kitchen which has a LAN connection when my room doesn't. caya la NUS.

so glad tomorrow's a free day, i feel like i need a break before the next onslaught of project. is it just me or have most people started revising already? i will have a response paper due next friday, an individual presentation AND group work due that coming monday, and then a lit term paper due 4 days later. and guess what? exams, 4 days after that. bitchin' timetable.

yesterday was soccer training and i will be sad the day training breaks for exam period cuz it truly is the only shining beacon in my dreary life right now. that and good food. after soccer was holland v breko's for dinner and arsenal- westham match. arsenal lost, yay! should have caught the chels- spurs one though, seemed more interesting.

but anyway after that was drive back and in the car i changed the radio station to 94.2 and it was playing this hari raya song... and first thing i thought was, "baju merah jambu kain songket biru...? orbit keper!" hahahahaha. umm translation: pink traditional outfit with blue 'cloth' sarong.

then my next thought was: i've only jalaned raya on the FIRST day of raya and its THIRD week already! so embarassing if i have to jalan raya at 4th week, no one jalan raya anymore already. :( so sad. last saturday was my mum's workplace family day. then sundays i got soccer at 4. weekdays my mum's working and i've got school... so yeap. SO DEPRESSINGGGG. i don't want to hear raya songs liao.

well at least the JC people are meeting up this friday. but i still haven't visited some of my immediate aunts and uncles. nyeh.

okay i shall shut up about hari raya.

you know who else needs to shut up?

'He sends John Terry off, because he is pulling Ledley King, and keeps Ghaly on the pitch when he gives a clear elbow on Michael Essien's face. They always have an excuse. He has perfect vision ... two matches with him, and five points we have lost. I have had in my mind for a long time that referees should come to press conferences after the game to explain their decisions. But it would be a fake press conference, because they would come with their excuses - and you can do nothing about it.'

he has had in mind konon... you've lost your mind la! he's a total nut. deal with it already! other teams also get players sent off, other teams also LOSE. so why don't you just accept the reality that all your Russian oil money can never buy you a 100% win? and when are YOU going to hold a press conference about how bloody bloody stupid was your US$58 million buy? you spend 30 million pounds on a guy that you don't dare to start in the first 11. hah.

furthermore, if they keep up this trend of 6 yellow cards per game and getting fined henceforth, i hope and pray they are well on their way to bankruptcy. and THEN all the big names have to go cuz they can't afford their monstrous paychecks. AND THEN we have, the GREAT leveller. :D

then again, who am i to complain? the more he talks, the dumber he sounds, the greater his enemies, the more money he loses. win- win situation, who would have thought.

"Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho may yet find himself in more disciplinary trouble with the Football Association for his criticism of referee Graham Poll after the Blues' 2-1 defeat at Tottenham."

hahahaha. daft ol' portugese. balik negeri makan ayam la! umm go back portugese and eat chicken. cuz umm, you know, portugese chicken is really good. or so i've heard.

i'm hungry. what should i splurge myself on tomorrow? big breakfast? pancakes? waffles? sleep?

i think i shall go out tomorrow. if i stay on campus any longer i might start resembling the big, fat, balding profs i meet everyday.

frightening.

Friday, November 03, 2006

HAHAHA

i'm supposed to be typing my 500 words history paper now but i just HAD to blog this...

am in the tv room watching tv and um doing my paper and its the ellen talkshow thingy now. so anyway she's doing the oprah thing of giving away gifts for no apparent reason. SO bunch of audience plays musical chairs. music stops, first loser is a blonde woman.

ellen: well don't worry miss something something, you won't leave empty handed. susan, tell her what she's won.
susan (random woman in gown showcasing gift): well miss something something, you have won for yourself, a Toshiba Portable DVD Player!
*camera pans to miss something something acting shock*
*camera pans back to susan*
susan: *grins wide* its PORTABLE, and it plays DVD.

HAHAHAHAHA. i feel smart suddenly, despite the dearth of words on my paper. tsk. then again what else could she have said? hmm image quality maybe. or sound quality. actually ANYTHING but REPEAT the very NAME of the product. -_-

another -_- moment was on the cab back from buona vista just now. nearing the hostel already and he goes...

taxi uncle: last time here ah no one dare to drive! that time no hospital la.
me: ohh... okay...
taxi uncle: ya only got clubs... that one also recently. before that all forest. here *points at science park*, here *points at some other big sciency company*, here *and another* all don't have yet. all forest.
me: ohh okay... long time ago la.
taxi uncle: ya... quite long. that time no one dare to drive here. all scared. this place is very haunted. people always see things, hear things... very haunted one la. everybody know. oh ok, stop here ah? okay $4.70.

farhana and fiza goes to new york (new york)

yup yup, birthday dinner was at new york, new york! PHANTABULOUS.

guess where we're going?

whee!

yummy food, lovely ambience, great service. and free cotton candy! and kick ass fried mars bar with ice- cream. ooooooh.

world, meet birthday girl.

close- up.

what lies beneath the "powerful pink bag" as she so calls it?

more pink loot. that's a pink birthday card, a pink handbag, pink bedroom slip- ons and a pink badge that says "shoe addict". SO.BLOODY.PINK.

i like this place. crispy mushrooms yum yum! i also had a mushrooms sandwich. like 3 different types of mushrooms, lettuce, tomatoes, salad, etc. very filling ok! imagine that.

with age comes maturity and with maturity, you become wiser.

and here's what the wise sage has to tell you...

cotton candy is a weapon.

after stuffing ourselves till we could hardly walk or LAUGH (who would have thought THAT was possible?!), we walked over to the city hall area to... what else? CAM- WHORE with a capital C A M W H O R E. and when the time came and we needed to pee, we gatecrashed Raffles @ The Plaza's toilet and peed aaaaand... C A M W H O R E.

i had a blast so hope you did too. and hope you like the presents! it has a twofold intent- firstly to please you since you're such a pink freak and secondly, a slightly long- term and wishful intent but no one died from being wishful so... secondly, to hopefully drown you in so much pink you get absolutely sick of it and next year on your 22nd birthday you tell me you wanna go skinhead and be a punk. hoo yeah.

haha. seriously though- i had fun. catch up again sometime and remember to bring shades for the people you are going to blind with that handbag.

I don't know what I ever do without you from the beginning 'til the end
You've always been here right beside me so I call you my best friend

conversations

fiza: don't you dare touch this or i'll BLOW your brains out!
suresh: *touches thing*
fiza: *starts puffing at his forehead*

suresh: okay here's what i have... tim- tams, kit kat chunky... well i don't really have alot of things to eat.
fiza: huh? you mean tim and tams are different things?
suresh: ah? no la...
fiza: then why you say you don't have alot of tims left?
suresh: noo... i don't have alot of THINGS la...

oh well. anyway if you're interested i've ended up with potato chips from his surprise party yonks ago. i hope they haven't expired. if it is you can expect more conversations like the above.

went home for abit and visited my mum's colleague's place. after that was our place for a bit. her friends are a funny bunch, especially this 50ish lady, susan. she's frickin' hilarious la. she says "insya allah" to anything concerning the future and knows alot of random malay words. she even mentioned some bizarre grasshopper voodoo shit that apparently fortells how you sleep at night. she even, umm... demonstrated. damn unglam. hahaha.

anyway the other day i was talking to my soccer friend and she asked how long i've been with suresh. and i realized, hey, its been a year. plus plus. hardly feels like it. i feel blessed to be in such a... not exactly loving (not to say we're not but its hardly the first word that comes to mind), but realistic relationship. i've never been in a more down- to- earth relationship. everytime i actually REALIZE i'm in a relationship, i'm hit by how easy it is. so easy that i don't even realize i'm in one! hahaha. but far from taking him granted i think its more because he is such a friend that sometimes i feel like i'm holding hands with a girl pal. hahahaha. implicit homosexuality! we're like Radha and Krsna! ok never mind.

i guess it helps that we both need so little from life. let's say if i enjoyed clubbing, or he enjoyed dirt biking (for lack of better examples), maybe we'd have a harder time trying to reconcile our different needs. but we both enjoy watching soccer, random babbles, late night chats, hotcakes and waffles. while it might not sound like we have alot in common (we don't really), we have enough. though it would help if he liked liverpool, or enjoyed watching CSI, or if i liked man u, or enjoy watching OC, Lost, Smallville, etc, TVs can be bought and be watched separately.

but a partner in random indulgence of air hockey, maggi goreng, football and waffles with ice- cream and maple syrup are harder to come by.

lucky me.

shalalalalala shaboom shaboom

at tv room now watching spartan vs inter milan on TV3! yeahhhhhhhhh MALAYSIA BOLEH! MALAYSIA TRULY ASIA! INDIAAA INCREDIBLE INDIAAAA.

that is, btw, alex's favourite song. yes, indiaaaa, incredible indiaaa complete with perfect pitching and head wobble. whooh amma yilek appa yilek ursepolek watamerenda.

i am convinced APROK is a tamil word but suresh insist it isn't. can another indian please convince me? his tamil is about as good as my malay whereby bayam = water chestnut so there you go.

hellooo bayam.

world, meet water chestnut.

who knows, they can belong in same farm right. or genus, family, whatever. and i should stop saying whatever, it makes me feel very paris hilton, and that's so not hot. hahaha. okay i am making alot of lame jokes today. this is what happen when you use up all your brain cells typing a SIXTEEN page essay of sociology of religion. ah, itchy hand la right prof ask for 10- 12 pages TYPE SIXTEEN la! best. champion. if get C+ i go kamikaze.

anyway. i suck at basketball. boo. i'm only good at tickling people when they get the ball, poking them, screaming, getting injured, so on and so forth along that same vein. how to hook up with yao ming like that!

inter- milan is winning this game la. the final score will be 1- 0 as it has been for 87 minutes. when was the first goal scored? first minute. WIRJEIGNRTJHKEWOR. can you imagine if you're that spartak fan down there in freezing cold moscow? its 1 degrees celcius la! and you sit there, freeze your ass off, watch your team lose, to a goal scored in the first minute, and freeze your ass off for another 90++ minutes for NOTHING! not even another goal, from inter OR your team! waduh.

i want to watch the chelsea- barcelona match but if TV3 show liverpool- bordeaux match also of course i don't mind la right. i wearing liverpool jersey already okay. so exciting.

i love my term paper cover page. so nice. i love all my term paper cover pages from year 1 till now cuz i find it so important to have a nice pretty cover page, nice pictures, big fonts everything. hahaha.

okay match over, 1- 0. wah if i spartak fan i'll be bombing the place la. why not, russians right. haha. okay i should stop. i love russians! heil stalin! or whoever. okay.

does anyone else think justin timbertasik (tasik is lake in malay right? confirm i'm right one la this one i know because in pahang got tasik chini and that is chini lake! whoo hoo!) sounds like a girl in his latest song? sexyback? TV3 just played it. he sounds like a girl.

anyway! why i wrote a post was because last tuesday i didn't get to play basketball, obviously, because it was hari raya and i found myself missing these retards!

okay i can call you all retards hor cuz i am QUEEN BEE nyeahahaha. they're all single and available so ask me if you want any of them (so that they don't have to sign- up to SDU when they graduate haha) except for derek whom you wouldn't want to go near anyway cuz he is deceiving okay i was lost in a shroud of deceit all along! there i thought he was normal for the longest longest time but he's NOT! i feel so cheated la! all i want is a normal person to call a friend and he betrayed me!

so yes. these people are some of the best friends i've met in my NUS life. sadly they're all freshies so i will miss them alot when i graduate. but its okay, i can still terrorise them from afar cuz i am QUEEN BEE! wah ego trip is damn shiok.

but of course the bestest friend i've met in nus is APIIIIIIIIIIIZ. wah if i ever reach the melbourne airport and see you the first thing i'm going to do is POM you from behind and call you APIIIIIIIZ from miles away!

miss you very very much hor that day i cry becuase i heard "Welcome to My Life". what i would give to hear you choking to that song while driving again!

and while we're on the topic of friends, here is my oldest bestest favouritest femme fatale...

TWENTY ONE YEARS OLD ALREADY WHOO! WELCOME TO THE CLUB! which isn't very happening but WELCOME anyway! best tak jadi tua ganyut? hahahaha.

can't wait to meet up thursday la. talk cock whine whine whine and probably end up shopping. whoopee!

i've known banana/ pisang/ farhana since we met in secondary school. we were fortunately placed in the same class, sec. 1E and through track and field, we got closer. same crazy humour, same large appetites, everything was a happy ending in the making. i'm so glad i met you la. till now i still cannot find a girl who is as similar as me in so many ways yet so different from me. for example, she is a Man U fan. and she has almost zilch boyfriends, only many fickle crushes and random temporal things that even *i*, the master of all- things- complex- in- relationships, cannot label. but we think alike, we formulate the same opinions of people most of the time, and despite the distance, the different stages of life we're in, farhana is someone who has always made an effort to stay in touch, which i must admit even i fail to do sometimes. so thank you banana, for 8 years of friendship (we are FRICKIN old okay, oldoldold) and all else in between. see you thursday HOR.

so see, alot of people make me happy. oh and i forgot to upload the other raya photos AGAIN but nothing new la, just MORE pictures of kids. it pretty much sums up what hari raya means to me- meeting up my nieces and nephews, and feeling shocked at how fast they grow.

okay la i dunno whether TV3 is going to show the barca- chelsea match or not, if not i will just sleep. cuz right not some mat rocker is screaming at me in malay, amongst flashing lights. hmm.

and he just went, "WEEWIT!" into the mike. i'm pretty sure i'm supposed to know this guy, but i don't. he has long hair and screams alot. any ideas? sounds alot like sadako's alter- ego, i know.
