    these strange days.

    today: airport, simpang bedok, tampines 1. our little quest to the east. conclusion: strange land.


    got my srikaya kueh at airport. and lots of toggi! MMM. and reese's peanut buttercups! which i'll always remember as my first meal in US of A haha. that and milk. meh.


    walked around in search of a pub we could watch wednesday's night match at. but the one's in the main area weren't open till late, and we can only check in at 4 a.m. match's at 2.45 a.m.! anyhoos, we decided to catch the match at simpang bedok then rushing to airport to check in and catch the rest of the match. or something similarly complex and amazing race- ish. EXCITING MAH.


    we've somehow decided our itinerary for siem reap 2009. cheh. i love saying that. Euro08. NY07. sound like football tournament lei! HAHA. okay whatever. can't wait to sleep in afrikaan safariiii come 2010 whoooo.


    eh anyway. so we were in the East and we thought the people looked different. and we realized why. they dress up to go to 'heartland malls'! like tampines mall/ tampines 1 whatever. and SIMPANG! this one confirm. my minah sources say go simpang bedok must dress up cuz there got abang- abang motor besar woh. but its rather strange. the overall effect is something along the lines of the East people looking like they evolved differently from us. HAHA.


    not to say they're primitive okay. i'm kool with easties. WORD UP, RUZ. hahahahahaha. kau sorang sesat kat kampong timur. JAUH WEH.


    then my eyes got really dry cuz we spent the whole day in air- conditioned places. airport, bus, train, malls. so i decided to get new contact lenses! RANDOM NAK MAMPOS TAHAP DEWA ALFONSO.


    then the optical shop cannot take credit card or nets so we pool money to pay. damn cock okay. STUPID RIGHT WTF. then still can hehehe hehehe the shop fella. "sorry ah heehhe just now not like this right *ask colleagues* hehehee try nets la if cannot also heheehhe." FUNNY AH HELLO? FUNNY ISSIT? SO FUNNY GIVE ME FOR FREE LA WEI.


    okay i dunno why passive- aggressive a bit today. tomorrow i want to go bowling la! like damn fun suddenly play and play. maybe swept up by bowling fever? since now got bowling tournament right? haha i pro what competitions all i know. -_-


    farhana said i say wtf alot. so i shall declare that wtf stands for where's the fruitcake? less vulgar and more approriate! cuz if you know me well enough, you would know that where's the fruitcake is a valid question in muh layyyfeeee. HAHAHA. -________- where'sthefruitcake.


    eh nowadays the mat malaysia on these suria shows quite hemsem ah. I WANT LA. MY JEJAKA WHERE YOU TELL ME WHERE. i so ayu (see photo for idea of ayu- ness) sitting down here waiting for my jejaka melayu terakhir WHY HE NEVA KAMMMMM.


    okay la since i am bored here's some photos of me in penang/ the land where fiza became ayu HAHAHAHA where'sthefruitcake.


    Photobucket


    AYU OR WHAT. so sayu running my fingers through the sungai wei. errr. ayu is... pretty, according to bhanot (click!). but its not! its more of a... gentle beauty. correct? no? i dunno.


    oh and "so sayu running my fingers through the sungai wei" is... so sad/ melancholic running my fingers through the river? small water body? hahahaha. WHERE'STHEFRUITCAKE.


    Photobucket


    more ayu- ness. SO HOT WEI SIT ON THE CEMENT STEPS. wait and wait and wait for my jejaka HE NEVEH KAMMMM.


    Photobucket


    so tired of sitting on steps so i move to the kitchen la. got backdoor wei this one is for sekret dates late at night want to go dating dowan fathermother to know then you escape from here after he throw three stones into your room window HAHAHAHAHAA.


    Photobucket


    wait so long until givap.


    okay la i've blogged a sufficient length to the point that i don't remember why i wanted to blog in the first place. oh right. strangeness! SO.


    east is strange. done. today was strange because east is strange and we went to the east. and we did a lot of random & redundant things which is also... strange. like drink yakult! bought from cold storage. and contact lenses, as you already know.


    oh and strange cuz there's a sudden lull... no NIE/ classes to teach/ etc., i haven't felt this free in a while. and while i appreciate it, its also rather strange. but that said, i will appreciate this freedom while it lasts. plus there's ang kor to look forward to! and then 2 weeks of induction programme then sydnehhhhhhh! exciting or what whoo.


    okay la. time to do umm... other things.


    i forgot to mention: the house pictured is actually p. ramlee's house in pulau pinang. veleh naise.

    how could you be so heartless?

    listening to kris allen. yes, i'm team kris. whoo!


    skipped workshop in the end because my mutherawful cramps came. in the afternoon, peepeeyooyoo offered to fetch me to vivo to meet our supervisor. she is the rocks! our supervisor is the rocks too. she might be going on the silk route this september. FTW la.


    after sup meeting, met rohani for grocery shopping! tomorrow's sandwich party. then home for clinic/ drop my chicken wings. then cab to her place to drop off groceries. walked to bp plaza only for boys to decide we should go al- ameen. and to al- ameen we went!


    as always, full of laughter and nonsense. ate my nasi goreng daging merah and couldn't finish cuz silly coots kept making me laugh! i love these eejits.


    spur of the moment decision to go kbox at clementi. turned out to be damn ex, so i suggested bowling instead! twice in a week, what were the chances. but its so fun! we played two games. fahrur fell like a turtle on the lane. IT WAS PRICELESS. yunus bowls like a man on steroids. hafiz lim is the most competitive bowler with a below 100 score. me and rohani chill, whole life go longkang only hahahahaha. then throw the ball damn slow hahahaaha. rohani was called rohani tiger. long story. but in the end each time she went up we were RAWRRRRINGGG like morons.


    sigh i love my friends. tomorrow is sandwich/ Wii party! more sporting exercise! peejots so healthy now! must be cuz norm not here HAHAHAHA. bastard seh. and sandwich got a lot of vege. cuz i choose mah. kalau rohani... hahaha.bulu ayam tu kira sayur ape. AHAHA.


    okay la time to tengok my mamak show on tv2. damn good okay. tv2 is da bomb. then after that read to sleep then its rohani's place for sandwich and Wii love! man i will miss these days. nights world!

    sometimes you hear a poem that speaks to you. here's one of them.

    Wander-Thirst
    by Gerald Gould

    Beyond the east the sunrise; Beyond the west the sea
    And East and West the Wander-Thirst that will not let me be;
    It works in me like madness to bid me say goodbye,
    For the seas call, and the stars call, and oh! The call of the sky!

    I know not where the white road runs, nor what the blue hills are,
    But a man can have the sun for friend, and for his guide, a star;
    And there’s no end to voyaging when once the voice is heard,
    For the rivers call, and the road calls, and oh! The call of a bird!

    Yonder the long horizon lies, and there by night and day
    The old ships draw to home again, the young ships sail away
    And come I may, but go I must, and if men ask you why,
    You may put the blame on the stars and the sun,
    And the white road and the sky.

    Day 2


    PhotobucketPhotobucketPhotobucketPhotobucketPhotobucketPhotobucket


    the next day, we decided to do a bit of sight- seeing before eating. we stopped by their esplanade where rohani grabbed a bite but i didn't cuz... i was holding out for something else! they didn't have anything i wanted. and boy was i glad i held out... cuz then i got my mango lassi and HO HO HO, claypot briyani! the chicken rocked, as did aloo goobi and the thairu/ onion/ cucumber dip. YUMMEH. and that night- chili's. for BBQ beef ribs, monterey jack chicken (with cheese and beef bacon!), beef & chicken fajitas with guacamole, sour cream, cheese and diced tomatoes. FRICKIN' FRICKIN' AWESOME.


    Day 3

    last but not least, we got nasi kandar at last. that's honeyed chicken, prawn curry and vege. as well as 7 different types of gravy. IT WAS THE BEE'S KNEES.
