all jumbled up...

Ohh finally…I am not too sick…or too sleepy…or too tired to type an entrée.. finally some time to spend with my darling blog. Heh…not that I am not enjoying the company of my beloved ones! Ohh talking about them..

Happy birthday to Amir a.k.a Lex or more famously known and loved as ABAH…hope u had fun! hehehe.. will this be the first time and the last time we celebrate your birthday together? Hmm hope not…

I had the most wonderful 24hours in my life.. i spend some time in town yesterday.. getting in the spirit of Christmas.. hehe.. take a ride on the Plymouth Eye.. then watched NARNIA.. wow!! ASLAN.. gosh I love that lion!! But to me it wasn’t magical enuf.. it was good tho.. we celebrate Abah’s birthday by *again* upacara baling tepung.. hehe.. note to gang: lenkali kalau nak baling tepung bukan kat dapur.. too much clean up needed! Then we ate the cake sophy bake.. as usual..it was wonderful.. we stayed a bit late.. and be merry.. walaupun semua org dah weng.. *blur…* tak cukup tido..

I woke superbly late.. slept my heart out.. today. We had our Christmas dinner cum birthday dinner cum last family dinner for the year.. Sophy cooked an Eygpt dish..eygpt style lamb for dinner! [wow!!..darah tinggi aku..hehehe] and I think it is as good as the one we ate in Porta Tunisia Cardiff. Sedap ooo!!! superbly sedap kambenG we had for dinner...puas hati!!

ohh gosh! I cant believe the day is here.. I cant believe that was the last time we sit together and dig in for this year… actually I cant believe that the year has come to an end.. so much had happen.. in the last 24 hours for example. All this and soo much more.. never dreamt any of this before.. never predict any of this before.. ohh I am full of emotions.. right here.. right now..

Tomorrow I still have tonnes to do.. and here is the list.. [why????]

Sort out my laundry..
Do the actual laundry.. note: kutip duit syiling
Kemas bilik.. [why??]
Buat list barang nak bawak pegi … err…trip…. Too many places! Ehek!
Figure out how much can u spend..

So Abah.. u are off to Manchester tomorrow.. so take care! Be good.. don’t be notty esp in Germany.. ehek.. have fun on your trip ya.. don’t forget some goodies for us ok!! See you next year..

So there goes our farewell and see you next year wish… [still unbelieveable…like Journey South tak menang X-factor??????OMG]

I will be needing the energy and time tomorrow.. so off I go to bed.. ohh if u cant find me anywhere tomorrow..check in the wardrobe! I might be in a wonderland..on a date with King Peter! Ehek..after all I am sorting out my laundry tomorrow..hehehe…

home alone for christmas?

hehehe..pretty much we will be. everybody is going back. oohhh!! thats too bad! heh..as if we are going to be around for christmas. my one and only christmas in UK will be celebrated in Oxford. our welfare officer has left us with full two pages of important info to get us through the holiday. that include not only the emergencies numbers but also the opening times of ASDA and TESCO! [have a super wonderful Merry Christmas to Sarah!!!many thanks!].

i wanted to write what i did half an hour before my exam start! and no...i didnt not read my notes! here goes..based on my readings and things i have pick up during discussions along the way..

Constructivist classroom = messy classroom

if we consider 'class' as variable and replace by X

constructivist Xroom = messy Xroom------Eq1

most of us know that

eQin bedroom = messy bedroom

from Eq 1: X is variable.. so replace bed with X

eQin Xroom = messy Xroom----Eq 2

replace it..

eQin Xroom = Constructivist Xroom

do the mathematic hocus pocus [what ever that may be..abah u could give me a hand here!!!]..

eQin = constructivist

[heh!! brilliant isnt it?]

FINALLY!! after soo long...i could came out with a superbly intelligent excuse for leaving my room in a mess!! ohh mom u will ever be so proud of your brilliant daughter!!! ohh i have to go and report this to mom...

MOM...would u listen to this....[hehehe...]

But here I am...

[ya ya...i know...i should be studying for my exam..tomorrow! but here i am...let me make this quick..]

there are a number of things i would like to say..i wish i have the time and energy to really give everything a thought before i actually say it here.. but apparently i am not. not gonna think about it and not gonna say it.

before i actually write this post, i was visiting my dear friends' blogs [happen to be all of us have our own blog..], i know all 5 of us are more or less have the same feelings this week. Suffocated..where the time really look as if its sit still.. i cant believe that its already Wednesday tomorrow! i cant believe that i actually didn't even set my foot out of the front door for 3 days. it is melampau la if i said 'i forgot the sky is blue!' bcos i had my blind open all day yesterday.. but literary yes.. i forgot the sky is blue...and the grass is green.. bcos i was literary glued in my room [no..not studying! doing nothing really...staring blankly at the laptop]. i cant believe that abah has finish his term today!! [jeles jeles..].happy holiday to you...and good luck for my exam tomorrow!! pray!!!

in response to the exam, i havent been studying although i have been sitting infront of the laptop but i keep on surfing here and there. there was a day when i actually bring my notes to the drawing room, in order to refrain me from hook up to the internet.. so i went down, get my self a piece of battered fish, i automatically turn on the TV and unfortunately there is a good drama on TV.. So i end up, watching TV instead of reading my notes.. feeling guilty, i actually did a bit of writing and promise to type the whole essay later that afternoon. but all i did was.. i went through all my photos since the first day i step off the plane in Heathrow. and decided to email this one particular photo to this blog with a caption of 'Resolusi: tiada lagi perjuangan saat akhir'. i get myself thinking.. if thats what i am going to send in.. what am i sitting here doing nothing, while i have tonnes of things to do? well, then again.. i succesfully talk myself into.. well its not yet new year. so, officially, its not official yet! *heh..* well, we will see..

i had my 3rd student liason meeting this afternoon. i cant believe i went to the meeting while i still have a lot to read and straighten out..but i kind of glad i did. well, regret too.. *i can smell the curry sophie is cooking in the kitchen* basically, im glad bcos i can hear some of the important things and info myself. for example: now i know that i exactly [today!! today!!] have another year to live in this superbly great, wonderful, fantabulous, absobloominglutely gorgeous, lovely, stunning, and ever so out-of-this-world magnificent ROOM! [one whole strecth of adjectives for one small noun ehek..]. im going to miss this room!! this is the best room i ever lived in. the bed, the duvet [mana aku nak cari duvet best cam ni lagi???], the closet, the huge table, the sink, the wall, the notice board, the door, and the most important and the one that will be missed the most.. the internet connection! huhuhuhu... exactly another year, i dont think i will be blogging as frequent as now. and i remember the feeling of dont-want-to- get-out-bed this morning.. i was literary hang on to the duvet as if Mom is coming to pull the duvet to get me out of bed[thats how good the duvet is!!]. Ohh GOD!! i dont want to go home yet!! i love living here.. ohh please!! if the urge of living abroad[in UK to be exact!!] as STUDENT really get to me..i might just as well looking for chances to further my study soon. Mom??Dad??[or should i be looking at someone else's mom and dad??] sponser me pleaseee.....huhuhuuhuhu...

as i said.. i have a lot to say.. but my blogging hour has come to the end.. i should really hit the books now. so..shoooh...off u go.. [sorry folks..]

Bad Day by Daniel Powter

Where is the moment we need at the most
You kick up the leaves and the magic is lost
They tell me your blue skies fade to grey
They tell me your passion's gone away
And I don't need no carryin' on
You stand in the line just to hit a new low
You're faking a smile with the coffee to go
You tell me your life's been way off line
You're falling to pieces everytime
And I don't need no carryin' on
Cause you had a bad day
You're taking one down
You sing a sad song just to turn it around
You say you don't know
You tell me don't lie
You work at a smile and you go for a ride
You had a bad day
The camera don't lie
You're coming back down and you really don't mind
You had a bad day
You had a bad day
Well you need a blue sky holiday
The point is they laugh at what you say
And I don't need no carryin' on
You had a bad day
You're taking one down
You sing a sad song just to turn it around
You say you don't know
You tell me don't lie
You work at a smile and you go for a ride
You had a bad day
The camera don't lie
You're coming back down and you really don't mind
You had a bad day
(Oh.. Holiday..)
Sometimes the system goes on the blink
And the whole thing turns out wrong
You might not make it back and you know
That you could be well oh that strong
And I'm not wrong
So where is the passion when you need it the most
Oh you and I
You kick up the leaves and the magic is lost
Cause you had a bad day
You're taking one down
You sing a sad song just to turn it around
You say you don't know
You tell me don't lie
You work at a smile and you go for a ride
You had a bad day
You've seen what you like
And how does it feel for one more time
You had a bad day
You had a bad day

Note to Laylee: we did well..i had fun working with you. It was good..thanks!!! hope we could be partners again! last piece..'Ali..put your books away!!!' [hehehe Ali...laylee's fav student...]


ok now..Material Folio.. Exam.. and this Activeprimary Software i have to design..the reason im in Cite very stupid fuckingly early this morning!!!![aku ni salah amik course ker?? rasanya amik Bachelor of Education?? why do i have to design software plak niii?????]

struck by memories..

entah camne semalam...i was reading about behaviourist.. and suddenly i remember about a song that i used to love so much. so i spend the next hour trying to remember what was the song.. what was the lyrics like. but i couldnt find it anywhere. i cant even remember what the title of the song was. so i end up, sleeping very early last night.. and woke up around 4.30am.

this morning i told sophie what i did last night. reading behaviourist..suddenly remember about the song. she ask 'apa kena mengena?'. well very honestly true...i dont know what is the connection between the song and behaviourist.. [duh!!]. Just now..i was trying to search for James Blunt's [at the moment im very much in love with James Blunt, Daniel Powter, Athlete, Gavin DeGraw, and yg seangkatan dgnnya..ehek!]lyrics.. and i decided to try one last time with what i have in my memory about the song.. so i type.. 'everything will be wonderful'...and suddenly the song appear very much to my suprise. its Wonderful by Everclear..

i cant even remember why i like the song so much[no..the singer isnt cute..i dont even know how he looks like].. but i remember having the lyrics on my table in class when i was in school[in form5 i think] and i kept another copy of the song in my diary [gosh..i miss my purple big book!!!]. i cant even remember how the song goes.. but i have always love things about promises..

Wonderful

by Everclear

[spoken]
Wonderful, isn't it wonderful now

I close my eyes when I get too sad
I think thoughts that I know are bad
Close my eyes and I count to ten
Hope it's over when I open them

I want the things that I had before
Like a Star Wars poster on my bedroom door
I wish I could count to ten
And make everything be wonderful again

I hope my mom and I hope my dad
Will figure out why they get so mad
I hear them scream, I hear them fight
They say bad words that makes me want to cry

Close my eyes when I go to bed and I
Dream of angels who make me smile
I feel better when I hear them say that
Everything will be wonderful some day

Promises mean everything
When you're little and the world is so big
I just don't understand how
You can smile with all those tears in your eyes

When you tell me everything is wonderful now
Na na nana........
Please don't tell me everthing is wonderful now

I go to school and I run and play
I tell the kids that it's all ok
I have to laugh so my friends wont know
When the bell rings I just don't want to go home

Go to my room and I close my eyes
I make believe that I have a new life
I don't believe you when you say that
Everything will be wonderful some day

Promises mean everything
When you're little and the world is so big (so big)
I just don't understand how
You can smile with all those tears in your eyes
When you tell me everything is wonderful now
Na na nana........

No. No. I don't want to hear you tell me everything is wonderful now.
No. No. I don't want to hear you tell me everything is wonderful now.
I don't want to hear you say that I will understand some day
No. No. No. No.
I don't want to hear you say that you both have grown in a different way
No. No. No.

No I don't want to meet your friend
I don't want to start over again
I just want my life to be the same
Just like it used to be
Somedays, I hate everything
I hate everything
Everyone and everything
Please don't tell me everything is wonderful now.
Na na nana....

No. Please I don't want to hear you tell me everything is wonderful now...

No. Please don't tell me everything is wonderful now..
Na nana..
Everything is wonderful now...

my intelligences

suprise... suprise.. [ohh i do have intelligences! heh!!!]..well no suprise really.. i already know my superior intelligence. This is the latest test i did.. i have done a few test, but this one include the 8th intelligence which is the Naturalist.. im still looking for the full 10 intelligences ie the one with Existentialist n Moral intelligence. so here goes nothing...

Linguistic = 32
Mathematics = 32
Visual/Spatial= 45
Body/Kinesthetic = 35
Naturalistic= 38
Music = 29
Interpersonal = 27
Intrapersonal = 32

Let talk about my results. it has change a bit.. Visual/ Spatial still the superior one. keeping it stronger everyday. im a bit suprised to see that Mathematics isnt my second intelligence anymore. Naturalistic? sure eh? the third in rank is Bodily khinesthetic: which explain why i like to throw things around...hehehhee and now Linguistic is catching up alot. i bet in the next 6 month it will be stronger than Mathematics. too bad! i have always love maths!! hmm i am still wondering why my Intrapersonal intelligence is always stronger than Interpersonal.. i know i sometimes like to keep things to myself. but i always thought i am good when dealing with ppl.. well...i guess i thought wrong. im helpless in music.. i love listening to music...but it does not extend beyond that..

eQin dearie... you are suppose to study how learning styles can help children's progression in KS2..not doing a test to find out your intelligence and then write a report on it! heh!

ohh please....give me a break!!

Heh..you havent read a single article since this morning! all you did was EATING!!!

ohh...really? how come i am still hungry now? ohh i should be cooking for dinner now.. off i go!!

eQin!! ohh you are unbelievable!!!

....... =D [grin like the cat in Alice in Wonderland!]

[another sad case...monolog dalaman! ouch...too much literature!]

shoot me!

if only..and if only...

i could sell my soul to the devil..and make some cash!
i could play dead and dont have to hand in those assignments and sit for the exam
i could just be invisible and disappear...GONE!
i could hibernate like polar bears..so i dont need to eat and do other things!
i could just stay under the table n stay there and do nothing! at least till end of january...

ohh wake me up when january ends...cos thats when my next elaun masuk!!!

ohh if only....

sold my soul to the devil... cos the angels cant pay me anymore!!!!

T: [in disbelief..] are you sure? can anyone spell Hen?

S: why we say it 'trunk' not 'trung'?
T: becos its English! [hehehe...why??oh why???]


this is only a few that are suitable to be encrypted in this blog...others are mainly pronunciation jokes which cant be presented here.. too bad! [ohh u will be shock to see how stupid we acted in class...hehehe]

funny ya when our voice automatically turn like an eight year old...small shrieking voice. pelat2 sket...

hmm today i get to play dumb..and not paying attention in class [i was busy playing with the blue tack..heheheh just like my students in Lipson Vale..]. tomorrow..i get to be the teacher and deal with 22 second year B.Ed Tesl undergraduates who will act like 22 Year-2-students in an English lesson in a typical Malaysian School...oh ya..dont forget u have limited vocabulary ya!! u dont know what 'prolonged' means!...and do pay attention ya ie dont play with the blue tack! =P

All the best for tomorrow!

ohh someone found it!

Im gonna LOVE you all my life!!!

Million and million of thanks to Suhana for returning my lucky charm. i didnt know where she found it but im soo grateful!! thanks again!

it does sound stupid to cry [of course i DID NOT] or make a fuss [a blog entree totally dedicated to it might sound a bit too much* filled with pictures yg tak tahan tu...] over a small insignificant thing. but i was sooo sure im not going to ever set my eyes on it ever again.. i was so sure i have totally lost it.. im happy to see it again...definitely happy!

ok got to work on my micro-teaching session! i have my lucky charm to help me ease my nervousness...watch me!

it will never be the same...

it is gone..
forever!
im sure..
im sad..
it is lost..
not sure how...
not sure where...
not sure when...

cant replace it...
it will never be the same...
the one and only...
may it rest somewhere more wonderful than at the top my favourite pencil...

i have had it since i was in school, form 4 or form 5 i cant remember. but it was given to me.. i took it and have no intention of keeping it this long.. it was nothing at first, but it turns out to be my favourite thing about my favourite pencil. its unique to me. its definitely mine.

it have been with me thru thick n thin. it was with me during the SPM and many other exams. i play with it when im stuck while doing assignments. its there when i stayed all night doing assignments. i held the pencil during various presentations. it distract me when im tense. it help me focus when im distracted. i love turning it round and round... it was special...

now its gone...my pencil will never be the same...

i first realise it was gone when i was in class yesterday. i refuse to use the pencil, i use pens instead. i hope it fell down when it was in my room or laylee's room while we were doing the preparation for our micro teaching. oh no! what am i going to hold during the micro teaching session tomorrow? *sigh*

i never believe it was lucky or anything. it was just special. bcos it has been with me all this while.. i call it my lucky charm bcos i dont know what else i would call it. it was never lucky...it was just special.. bcos its always with my favourite pencil. now i have lost it. and never to be found again.. and my pencil now, is just like any other Black 0.5 Pilot Shaker.. ordinary!

thanks for all the wonderful moments together... i will remember you..and definitely im gonna miss you.....

*sigh...another sad pathetic case*

exceptional case!

today is officially the best day in Plymouth! it snowed so heavily today...and everyone was super happy and gay [gay in the happy sense... cant help being brits...ehek]!!! but im the happiest...

i woke up this morning..and bcos i didnt shut my window screen completely...i saw some white stuff on the roof. at first i didnt realise it was snow! and suddenly it struck me... IT IS SNOW!!! sprung i get out of the comfy duvet.. i push the screen to open...and..it was superbly beautiful... the 'island' in front of my house was covered in snow... and the small field across it was covered too... extremely beautiful! i get out of bed..and call home! i talk to moi sis...of course she was exteremly jealous. and being a good sis [always am..] i said to her 'adik kena la blajar rajin2.. nanti boleh pegi blajar kat Scotland...hari2 snow!' well i know she is going to be better than me.. cos she always are..an hour later i call home again...and talk to mama.. then i went out with sophy, woo and sal...we took pictures!

Sal, me and Wu....blakang umah org!

our feet on the Snow! [Sal's bare foot...'tak sejuk ke makcik???']

i was determined to went out to city centre today. and i did..in the blistering snow! i walk out of the house, after i convinced my self that i am warm enough to walk around in town. i walk cross Marjon's main building and came out from the porters lodge and saw...the tennis court was covered in snow..WOW!!! and i walk down..pass the resident hall...to the hockey field...and all was covered in snow..there is also a huge snowman in the middle of the field. so this is how it feel! it a dream come true...i hop on the bus...it was snowing all the way to city..and it stops for a while..then it start again. i decided to have my lunch at McD.. one fillet, one large fries and one coffee please! its 20 past 1..[thats 1.20pm..it takes a while to get used to that...ehek] and i havent bought a single thing. then i went thru the market.. then walk..the first thing i bought today is BLUE TACK! heh..so much for a shopping spree...

so...in the end i bought the bagpack! its not what i want...not even the colour! but its damn cheap! for £27 i get 65l karrimor navy blue rucksack! cheap heh? ohh i did check the poppy phone out...and i fall in love with it!!! im gonna get it tonight! later, after dinner maybe! we will see if i get the phone. i did spend a bit.. here and there.. thats bcos i get the bag for super cheap price. but i didnt finish all £70 budget. i was lucky enough to bump into abah n Sal in a shop. so i went back in a car.

they rent 2 cars for the weekend bcos wu's eldest bro, Abe is spending his long weekend with his youngest sister, Wu here in Plymouth. so we went home...pick sophy up at home and drove to Dartmoor. the night before it snowed 4inch in Dartmoor. we went there to run around like mad ppl...hiting each other with snowball[sakit la mangkuk!!!]... fall down on the slippery snow..and laugh like somekind of i-dont-know-what-to-call-it!!! but it was all good fun... we even make SNOWMAN!! 2 infact!! sophy said its SnowMAK and SnowSON..we dressed them up with my muffler, and Sal's muffler n snowcap..and Laylee's glasses.. SOOOO CUTE!!! around 6.30 we went home..after 1 and half hour spending time in the freezing cold weather. LAPOR!!!

me in Dartmoor..cuba untuk membalas serangan!!!

me and our SnowMak n SnowSon!!!

Abah, Me and Sal with not our Snowman!! its HUGE!!!

and the best day in plymouth will end with Nasi Ayam for dinner... served with Abah's famous Ayam Golek as the main dish!

so thats how i spend Plymouth official BEST DAY of the year. I remember Mdm Faz once told us... during her first year in Marjon, it snowed so heavily..and ppl said, M'sian student bring snow to Plymouth. well i guess thats truely true!!!

for almost 10 days of sunshine and cold harsh winds...

it finally SNOW!!

i get what i want... and i still have loads of assignment to be done!

Introducing:

Roamer Floor Turtle

[atau lebih dikenali sebagai Kurakura Gila yg Suka Merayau]

Here are some pictures on Hari Raya Pertama, we actually went to IT class with our colourful baju kurung and also some pictures of my group and our Champion Green Turtle [we won the small game that was set up afterward.] we won 10p for an awful lot of work...heh!

Trying to figure out the Kura-kura works

We and our Champion Green Turtle.. Green=Ketupat=Raya!

Discussing the strategy to win the game...looks very profesional..didnt we? thanks to alot of practice in playing games of Yahoo..heh!

Cheering for our Turtle...GO TURTLE GO!!!! [look at our faces..hehehe...sooo hoping we could win!]

im supposed to type my report but i do this instead... [if only i could hand in this post as my report..] so off i go...have to finish the report! must finish the report!! need to finish the report..

aku..kita...dan dia...

hari ni 20 November 2005, abang aku, Joe, tu dah pun selamat di ijabkabulkan dgn awek nyer...ntah la pukul brapa. tak tau plak aku.. yg pastinya bila aku call adik and papa tadi..lebih kurang kul 4petang waktu m'sia.. diaorg dah pun bertolak balik ke Kuantan. tak dapat nak cakap lama pun..sbb bateri semua org low.. yg pastinya, aja driving..so malas la nak kacau dia. maka, bermula la satu lagi episod baru keluarga aku... aku? masih tak berperasaan.. tunggu aku balik nanti la aku pikir semua tu..apa pun

JOE: CONGRATULATIONS!!!! aku doakan semoga bahagia ke akhir hayat..you are still the best brother ever!! i will always love you..[eQin yg berpura pura matang].

AJA: make sure u wait for me to come home ek...i will make ur wedding the best wedding of the year... hehehe... lets buy things from UK!! kita biar Joe jeles! heh..

eQin dearie..GROW UP! =(

pembunuhan imaginasi...

heh..ganas? takde la...biasa2 jer. last night..after i have even forgotten when and what was the last movie we watch in cinema..we went for a marathon. all 8 of us [berjaya drag faizan n fariza skali walaupun diaorg penat gila baru balik kerja... and sophie too..] went for a movie marathon.. the first one, the teachers to be..thats 6 of us.. watched SAW2 [terrible horrible story...]. while the doctors..watched a more lighter movie In Her Shoes...then, Sally and Laylee decided to watch In Her Shoes, while the rest, including me.. watch Harry Potter and The Goblet of Fire [i love screen 9, its sooooooo huge!!!]

i watched 3 out of 4 harry potter movie on the opening nights... ok la.. days. i watched the first one with Aniza. i miss the 2nd harry potter movie on the opening day..tak ingat la kenapa. i remember going to the 3rd movie with Joe.. heh..he being a movie freak!! JOE... aku dah tgk Harry Potter!! [gelak sambil nangis...sbb tak dpt makan nasi minyak esok!!!!] jeles? tak yah la..time after time.. i think the movie kill the imagination [hence the title for todays blog...]. i admit it was and still is a good movie.. but i think it kind of kills the readers imagination [read: I THINK!!]. bcos i used to read the book..but only the first 2 before the movie was released.. bcos after the first movie was released, it change everything i ever imagine out of the book.. Hogwarts,in my mind was such a different place than the one in the movie. it was sooo magical...so bright and sparkling and beautiful [no doubt it is still magical and beautiful but its different..] honestly, i think i have forgotten how i first imagine how hogwart looks like..

i think its good to have movie out of a book. bcos i totally never imagined Darcy [from Pride and Perjudice- the original British version. Wok..who was the guy again?? the one acted in Bridget Jones' Diary????] was that handsome and good looking, erk i mean not agreeable ie proud and arrogant[definately handsome enough to temp me..heh] and i never thought it was the sweetest love story ever.. after watching the movie, i read and read the book for the countless time. i read every line and i enjoy reading it. the story [the language and plot] was soo complicated, yet the movie makes it easier for me to enjoy the story better. im not sure why i think of Harry Potter differently..maybe i read the children version where i can easily imagine the story line in my head. maybe i should try the adult version of Harry Potter latest book [Abah!!! nak pinjam leh tak?? have u finished it?] i once tried to read Lords Of the Ring.. but never succeed. it was just too plain long and complicated. watching the movie itself make me tired...whats more reading it. [yup Laylee..i agree...reading was never easy, thus the appreciation of literature is very rare..].

i have left my passion of reading for quite some time now.. Kak Idlan said..in order to write, u have to read.. maybe thats why i dont have much to write lately. for the countless time, i should be reading more.. make use of the time u r here in UK, where there are soo many good books that cost no more than a short walk to the hospital, down the hill and a £2 coin in the pocket or maybe less [that include picking a book out from the fiction section in the library or downstairs in Sal's or Woo's room or across my room, in Sophie's, maybe soon, next door, in Laylee's too].

i also would like to say thousands and millions thanks to Mama for dumping me at the Library every Sunday morning when i was a still a little girl, and let me grew with this great passion for reading and interest in books [have yet to transfer that interest into reading more academic stuff..ehek].

differentiation

i was supposed to go to town alone today.. so that i could take my own sweet time strolling along armada way.. to find that perfect phone and the perfect bagpack and also the perfect winter coat that i need... all that could cost me £100.. heh! i could always charge it to mama's card..but being the goody goody me.. i wont! ahakss.. erk.. but i slept around 6 in the morning spending the night chatting with a friend...and a different *me* in the morning!

woke up at 12pm.. :D make that one phone call home. talk to everybody as again...for the 2nd time this month..everyone is at home! what?? again?? without me?? *sob sob* and tomorrow they are going to Johore.. for Joe's wedding.. ramai gila weh.. berbelas kereta! tak agak2 betul la abang aku tu.. mentang2 la ramai org sayang dia.. huh! so just wait for the family picture without me in it.. *ehek...just the thought of it pun make me sad...* just imagine.. dari kiri: adik, mama, joe, kak yan, papa, aja...tiada dalam gambar: yaqin!!! *waaaaaaa......!!!* nothing else to say bout that...

the perfect bagpack.. i have been searching and searching and determined that the perfect bagpack is Deuter Futura 42 yellow in colour [what is it with me and yellow bags????] it cost kind of a bit more that what i can pay for...but what the heck.. a good bag goes a loooong way! so im determined to buy the bag and now looking for the cheapest deal i can get.. i dont care if its off the internet; online shop or ebay or amazon.. or i have to get it in town. as long as its under £65 i will take it.. at the moment it is still above £70. mahalnyer!!?? the price for the perfect bagpack...

the perfect phone.. i have yet to find the perfect one.. so lets talk about the phone i have been eyeing... Siemens CL75.. i wanted to buy the phone off the internet.. but before that. i want to actually hold the phone before paying it.. so i need to go to town and take a look at it for real.. *excuse me, i have sooooo outgrown buying on impulses..thank you!* i need a phone!!!! but patient enuf not to make stupid mistake... so im going to check out weather or not i really like the phone.. it looks nice.. very pretty. so hear from me soon... we will see if its the perfect phone..

the perfect winter coat.. im still looking for a coat. i want a white short, waist length coat.. warm enough to get me thru this winter and good enough to last till the next winter.. hence im willing to pay more. but i want exactly the one i want! found one but...a friend already bought it.. so no point buying! have to find another one.. gosh.. really need to find one soon.. its getting colder each day now. last 2nights it drop below freezing. one small question..
bila nak snow ni????
so i need a coat..the perfect winter coat...

so there goes.. the three things i want..erkk i mean NEED... if past years i collected duit raya to buy all the luxury item.. this year.. sad story! jumlah wang terkumpul ialah £1 dan RM 1...heh! camne nak beli?? beli fillet o fish pun tak cukup!!! [ishh sedap plakk fillet o fish kat sini.. sure gonna miss it... ] im determined no matter how much it cost...im gonna get myself all those things. so i have to save on other things.. so now cannot eat salmon every other day.. have to stop buying that delicious yummy salmon en courte.. no more eating at rendavous. hmm no more luxury chocolates and cookies..and crisp [leh kill 2 birds with one stone ni...] no more luxury item other than these 3.. [no more ebay??? yes...unless u can find this 3 item in ebay...*sigh of relief*still can play ebay...]

k lah...for now i think i nak turun bawah and make myself a cup of coffee and semangkuk maggie kari ngan telor...nyum nyum.....

pilihan kedua...

dah banyak hari aku tak update blog ni. bukan tak mau..tapi im drown under piles and piles of to-do list.. and tonite, we decided to relived the memories of the best London holiday.

London was terrorized by 4 lass in 7 days..turning the city upside down.. paint it with our laughter.. leaving ourfootsteps inside out of the city.. certainly the best holiday ever! we had soooo much fun! especially when eating a bucket of ice cream bought in Mark n Spencer [ahaks...] in front of Royal Albert Hall in the coldness of Spring Night. not to forget our own and original Road to Nowhere night tour on double decker bus.. and the best holiday was end with the Siti's concert in Royal Albert Hall..[im watching..erk listening to it while typing this..thus relived the memories...] i was there when she sings it live...and 7months later im watching it on my laptop.. and the best part of it... i saw me on the VCD!!!! we were sitting quite close to the stage and there was a couple of times when the camera was turning toward us..erkk actually only i can point out that its me on the screen...unlike two of my friends...terang terangan! one of them is living across my room...ahaks! and the other one is just someone i happen to know during my stay in London. cayalah korang!!! hehehe glamer abis la...

ok enuff bout that. im sooo lost about whats happening. updating my life here in the blog seems no longer attractive.. i have no idea at all now..maybe i could sort this later...adios!

malangnyer.. international nite itu telah bertukar menjadi m'sian nite.

this entree was written on the 18th of March 2005 [relatively new in blogging eh??] about our first international night here in Marjon.. the sentence kind of summarise what happen that night eh?ok la..i have to tag another 5 people.. ermm

1. Mizzleli in her 'As Authentic As It Gets' kambenG farm...

2. Sophy in her Tinta Bicara Kalbu

3. Sally in her CrazeeGal Life..

4. Mc Woo in her As D Pendulum Swings

5. sapa2 yg baca blog ni and ada blog and blom buat lagi...hehehehe...

suka ati la korang nak buat ker tak... maklumla..musim2 assignment ni, banyak jer benda lain nak buat..takpun simpan jer this tag until one day u might feel like blogging but u dont have anything to say...

out of nowhere i have soooo much to do..when 2 weeks ago all i worry about is 'cukup ke ayam ni nak buat rendang??'. my autumn term finish exactly another month..but in this 4 weeks i have one IT report, one pairwork Micro Teaching, one groupwork Materials Folio, an exam paper.. which i dont even know what is it all about.. im out of here.... nak kena dig for materials for the assignments..later!

how hard can it be?

hmm today...the spirit still filled the air.. our sad story still overwhelmed the emotion.. the mood is still mandoooommmm...ok enuff said about Notts game. i already let an entree to be on top of the page for a week.. as a tribute..so thats it.

well back to my topic of the day.. today we learn how to teach children to multiply.. how hard can it be to teach 23X3??? hmm abah? any idea??? [since u are the maths expert of the family...ehek] i actually pair up with Ilona..and soooo hoping we dont have to teach it in front of the class. because it is quite hard to teach simple things, especially when u have to consider all the learning theory and considerations before actually decide how to teach it. ohh we also learn how to teach children to write...transcription n composition...well mainly today the composition part.. i get to write 3 different paragraph today.. so all my writing energy gone. hmm day by day..the learning in class become more and more explicit. no more theory..*they dont talk about rocket science anymore..is that good or bad?* and more on practical side.. all the assignments now are practical stuff.. micro teaching, materials folio, IT report [talk about floor turtle...gosh..] why suddenly hit the practical trends? or was it just part of the course?

hmm actually i have something to talk about..but i kind of only jot down the title...and i forgot everything else..me n my gold fish memory...

suprisingly i have a lighter class this week...tomorrow 11-1 then 2-4, no class on wednesday.. then 1.30-430pm on thursday and again...no class on friday! wow...great! long weekend! hmm lets think how should i spend all the free time...should i spend it by lying on the bed all day reading 'alice in wonderland' [duh.. the original 'literature' version by caroll lewis...not the children version!] or should i spend it by reading Eddie Garvie on how to use story in classroom to teach english? or should i be in the kitchen trying to fatten up my friends?? *wink wink* [should i cook u guys breakfast this weekend??lama dah tak masak breakfast for everyone] or should i just sit in front of my laptop..clicking here and there..maybe bloghopping or resume my ebay activity.. hmm it seems like i will be doing the latter rather than the earlier ones...

some of my friends have already finish their puasa 6..and i havent even yet started *hangs head in shame!!!* yesterday, i said wanted to start today.. but i automatically when to the kitchen this morning and fix my self a nice hot mug of coffee.. ngeee =D promise will try harder tomorrow!

today i kind of feel the coldness... it suddenly hit me. i dont like the hot sun.. i detest it sooo bad! i love the weather today.. sunny yet cold.. no harsh blowing winds...just breezy.. nice. wish its like this everyday..

i think i want to take a nap now..i have to work on my assignment tonite.. so have to revitalise.. rest my brain...and mind n body too..zzzzZZZZZZZ

korang....jangan la cam ni....

*im letting this entree to be at the top of the page for a week...scroll down for latest entree*

hari ni, tadi captain dah bagi 15-16patah kata...kita dah dgr ingatan dan pesanan dari team members semua.. so, hari ni korang rest betul2. malam ni kita bertolak...tido dalam bus biar selesa...jgn sampai sakit2 pinggang...kalau rasa nak angkut bantal..lima -enam bijik pun boleh [kita bayor mahal untuk bas tu...suka ati la...] ok?

mengukur london....

k la...as promise.. i would report on my experience for celebrating raya in london. after the super penat days in plymouth.. i woke up at 6.20am sbb terdengar abah's voice outside my house. ohh shoooot...me late!!! mujur dah kemas bag that night. so dash out of the house to catch the 7.25am bus. then 5hours bus journey, which i spend half of the time sleeping my heart out..

arrive in london around 1.30pm. get to bayswater.. check in hostel..then went to MSD to check let abah check in.. then went shooping under the street light in oxford street. it was sooooooo beautiful.. the day was cold n dark.. 5pm it was dark as if its 11pm.. but all the shops' windows are dressed with x'mas decoration.. it was great! superbly beautiful...i bought another knitted jumper. ngeee!!!

then, we went for dinner as abah was super hungry..way past his dinner time! PFC..perfect fried chicken.. the closest thing to KFC u can get in UK. hmm bleh la.. then went back..abah has to be back before 10.30pm..sbb duduk kat MSD. but we have the whole night out...but we decided to stay in n be silly...hahahaha..ok dont get too farrrrr.....

then next morning, we all get nicely dressed up in baju kurung n abah in his baju melayu.. then we hop on to a tube heading to a station call fulham broadway. we didnt miss the chance to actually took pictures of us, all nicely dressed in the tube.. ohh not to forget the winter jacket..the big bulky one..mine is in olive green, with furry hood, knee length, bought in exeter! ugly..yikes...my baju kurung is blue in colour!what the heck.... then, we head to Chelsea megastore. and i thought it was just a store.. didnt expect it to be a Stadium! OMG..ohh suddenly all of us was just sooo excited. i bought 3pairs of socks and a t-shirt. get ready for Notts. then we head back to MSD..dont want to be late for the Jamuan Raya..

ohh im tooo lazy to hit u guys with the details..but anyway, we had sooo much fun.. i actually did some eyeing..but hit no jackpot! i was too rushing to warm up and make small talk with ppl...so i end up enjoying the company of familiar faces..like Azmi n Izrie..and i actually was dipertemukan semula dgn a long lost friend.. we were good friends before.. Yati, now in Soton. wow! she was in my group for the whole 2weeks! how can i forget her???? it was great to get along with old friend. ohh dont forget that we did some serving at the jamuan too.. wow! what a way to actually jual muka...i took it as a way to eyeing..hehehe...

so at 4.10pm we run back to MSD and took a bus to Victoria.. abg Zamil said its better to take the bus then the tube! so arrived perfectly on time..pheeewwww! and it was another long journey back to plymouth.. i spend the journey looking outside the window enjoying the firework. heh! cannot sleep..tak tau apasal.. jeles gak tgk abah tido.. huh! arrived home at 11pm.

tuck in bed around 12.30pm and drift away in dreams.... so thats how i celebrate raya in London..

so next weekend i will be in Notts.. cheering and most importantly managing the Netball team...nak jual nama MARJON n plymouth!! sedih ooo tarak sapa tau plymouth ni kat mana....semoga dgn keterroran player2 Marjon ni.. mengharumkan nama Plymouth ke pelusuk UK..kat MSD dah glamer! ok esok training jgn lambat ekk....i see u in court..dont let me wait forever!

*lepas raya la aku update lagi...tak sempat kot pagi raya tu aku nak blogging..busy! lagipun petang raya tu aku ada kelas IT....huhuhuhuu

sisir elektronik [McWoo, 2005]

hmm hari ni aku ada sejam extra.. aku ingat nak habiskan sejam tu ngan blogging. sebenarnya tak extra pun, sbb sejam tu mmg aku punya. cuma telah diambil masa tukar daylight saving hari tu.. dan dipulangkan kepada aku hari ni..today got 25hours u know!!! [hehehe] Summer is officially over. hmm jam kat blog ni merupakan jam kedua yg aku tukar.. jam yg first mesti la jam loceng aku! i wanted to blog last night, tapi mcwoo nak pinjam laptop sbb nak chat. so aku bagi la kat dia.. lagipun i was sooo tired last night. mc woo spend the night, chatting in my room and thats when the phrase 'sisir elektronik' kluar...referring to the curling thong owned by Laylee n currently bermastautin in my room. hehehe...another funny thing to remember about u babe!! not so funny compare to the lawak 'halia sebesar ibu jari'... but still funny...

err....[squeezing my dry brain for something to write..]... i have nothing much planned today.. except that we are going to a doctor's house for iftar.. and before that i planned to bake more cookies but im not sure i want to do any today. Gosh i miss having my sis while baking cookies.. she just take the burden away!! she didnt do much, but it is so much more fun doing it together than slaving urself alone.. [wwaaaa...only now i realize???] im in the middle between my mom n my sis..i usually get away from doing the remeh thing bcos it is usually assigned to my sis. so dispatching things from the cupboard to the table is usually done my sis. it saves u the energy from going back n forth from the table to the cupboard, getting what u need.. her duty include lining the tin with tracing paper, decorating the cookies, sapu telor on the tart, and also most of the stuff i dont like doing..etc etc. there was a year where i baked loads of cookies with my sis alone without my mom..that year, was the first year we celebrate raya in our current house. so many things happen that Ramadhan, the house was broke into... few hundreds gone...then, my dad was involved with an accident that literally crushed his car like kotak sabun [suprisingly, dad walk away with scratches only...how lucky!], mom was busy settling this and that, so i end up pestering my sister to help me baked the cookies alone. hehe.. nothing much, except now, mom knows we can do it on our own...hehe.. that was the last time i spent the whole ramadhan at home. now, i spend the whole ramadhan away from home..

hmm today im going to have dinner with a family..fully-functioned family, not like my malfunctioned family i have here in UK hehehe...i heard they have young children..yeay!! lama nyer tak main ngan budak2!! and today, i recieved an e-raya-card from abang Nuar n family...or most importantly from the girls.. Farihin, Farah, Fatihah, Farhanis n my favourite, FAZRIN!!!!! the F sisters...hehehe... gosh miss them so much!

hmm oklah..i have spend an hour writing this entree..with nothing much on my mind. hope i can write more tomorrow..Happy Hari Raya everyone...Maaf Zahir Batin! semua org dah start bercuti...esok ada kelas all day...waaaaaaaaa!!!!!

setibanya...

hmm semalam, parcel yg joe kirim dah sampai.. dalam tu ada CD lagu lagu raya..then ada kad raya untuk aku.. then ada kad jemputan kawin.. then ada sampul duit raya...yg abang aku telah dgn jayanya meninggalkan ianya kosong tak berisi...hampehnyer abang! sengaja la tu.. maka dgn tibanya cd lagu raya tu...makin meriah la raya kali ini... harapnyer begitulah.

hmm semakin hari semakin banyak blog yg bercerita ttg persiapan raya. hmm ishh yg aku ni plakk, tak terasa nak raya pun..mesti sbb dah excited sblm raya. ehh silap sebelum puasa.. hmm..k la...aku tulis la persiapan raya aku kat sini. baju raya aku mama dah hantar dari M'sia..kasut raya last week aku dah beli.. cd raya dah sampai.. and tadi, aku buat kuih raya. choc chip cookies.. n tart nenas [erkkk kalau leh dipanggil tart nenas la.. ABAH!! bila acuan nak sampai ni??? org nak buat gak tart tu... huh! tak raya aku..]. pastu hari ni ada pot luck lagi.. kat rumah sebelah.. tapi aku sgt2 penat skarang..malas nak pegi pun ada..

tadi call mama, tak buat kuih rupanya tahun ni kat rumah aku... hmm..adik malas katanya. apa punya adik daa.. takleh pakai langsung. aku dulu malas gak nak buat, tapi siap gak la kan choc chip ngan almond london ker...2/3 jenis tu boleh la. lebih2 malas la. PENATNYER... hmm sabarlah eqin...brapa minit jer lagi buka puasa. Aja pun dah balik...Joe balik malam ni. Waaa semua org dah ada kat rumah!!! aku tak la rasa nak balik.. tapi apa yg akan berlaku kalau aku takde? adakah sama je? or kurang meriah...hehe.. or lebih sadis lagi...lebih meriahkah tahun ni?? aku dapat rasakan kat rumah Mak..Kak Zura, Kak Zuri ngan Abang Ali mesti ada ngan anak2 sepupu aku!! pastu kat ruma Atok kat Pekan, mesti ada sate... ishh bestnyer..then, Asy mesti balik..Tina...Yus.. hmm tak cukup geng la korang tahun ni ekk aku takde! pastu kat rumah Wan kat Lanchang.. mesti ramai balik..mesti Pak Cik Din balik...wonder is Ira n Abang An ada.. lama tak jumpa diaorg, hows Fifi.. She should still be in UPM.. and the last time i met Adam was in 2003..masa tu dia still skolah lagi. hmm apa cerita la budak2 tu.. well i wasnt close to any of my cousin and super terrible in keeping in contact with them. the one n only cousin im in contact now is Tina..tu pun thru Friendster..

ok lah...i have nothing else to say. i cant think.. im tired..and its already time to break fast.. off i go..take care everyone.. malas la plak aku nak buat kuih lagi esok..
