I love going for talks. It may get really dull and bore the hell out of me but for some, it's really useful and worth going for. Hence, it depends.

A quickie!

I'm here because I just had to do some school stuffs using the laptop so I figured I'd spend a little time to update as well :)

School's been good. I can feel the pressure creepin' up on me already. Frankly, I have really high hopes for myself. And I don't know whether it's a good thing or otherwise. Maybe it's good, so that I can aim and work hard to achieve my goals. But on the other hand, I don't want to be disappointed because I jolly well know that expectations lead to disappointments. Either way, I'll work hard nevertheless. Afterall, I can only plan and work hard towards something that I want, but God determines it all.

I know it's the third day already but Happy New Year anyway :) I felt like sleeping through 2010 and wake up in 2011 but then I realised that'll be no fun so I just remained awake haha.

Before I start, here's just a 'lil something to share. I got this off Jason Mraz's blog. I don't stalk him, I found his blog from Twitter. So here's what he wrote, "When expectation fails, you're rewarded with good old-fashioned upset. But when a possibility fails, all you're left with is more possibility. This Possibility vs. Expectation is a simple transformative tool that can keep you from bloodying your knuckles when something goes awry." I love how true and powerful those statements are :)

Anyway just so you know I'm currently using my sis' laptop. I didn't want to neglect this space so I know I just had to update. And with my laptop? It'll be such a hassle. Too many wires, takes too much time. See that is why I need a new one. It was originally my sis', mind you. It has been about what, 6 years? It doesn't even have webcam. Sad to the max. But I'll wait. I'm actually waiting for Poly. That'll be in about 2 years but oh well, they say good things comes to those who wait :)

Yesterday was a good day! I was home alone for almost the whole day and became such a good girl by cleaning up the mess that I didn't finish two days ago. I feel so organized now! It definitely was hell during the process of cleaning up. I hate dust so much. It makes me sneeze. And sneeze. And get flu. And sneeze. And - you get my point.

But the good side wasn't all good really. I haven't got my homeworks done. And I don't feel anything right now. I don't feel scared, nor guilty. It feels weird but I think it got to me that I shouldn't do something that I don't want to do. I mean, what's the point of doing something just for the sake of doing? It's not like doing homework can get me As on my report card. Yes, I understand it still helps in a way because by doing homework, I practice. Still, don't talk to me about it during the holidays okay? Talk to me when school reopens. Talk to me about homeworks tomorrow.

On a much happier note, I shopped today. With my very first pay! I feel so happy :) Now I should get off and get some sleep. The bedsheet's changed about 5 mins ago. A pretty neat start for 2011.

Hopefully everything goes well tomorrow! It's gonna feel soooooo weird to not see the usual faces i.e same batch, Sec 4E and 4NT '10. Sigh, I miss all of it already!

New year's nearing, the clock is ticking and I...... am scared HAHA. I'm not the least excited or feel any tinge of happiness at all that finally, 2010's leaving. I love this year. You can say I'm a little afraid of what's in for me next year. I'm not ready to face it. But of course, time doesn't wait for you and life moves on. So I guess whatever happens, happens.

Today was such a tiring day. It wasn't more of tiring, I think I just - wasn't in the mood and didn't feel well. Which made sense for the latter because we walked through the drizzling rain at Arab St and I admit I haven't been getting enough rest/sleep for these past few days. I must say it shouldn't be because of the number of hours. I slept for about 9 hours last night. Don't tell me that wasn't enough? I bet it's more to my bodyclock. Okay whatever it is, sleeping past midnight is bad enough for one's health!

So I finally uploaded the photos to FB. It was amazing HAHA Usually I don't upload that fast. Anyway it was really funny because right after I uploaded, FB went nuts for the next 10 minutes or so. People were suddenly liking and commenting the photos, i.e flooding my notifications. Even people who aren't in the album which included my primary school friend. Awkward. But nevertheless, I sure had fun being entertained and vice versa! I love it how I burst out laughing like nobody's business from photos/comments/anything at all :)

The photos actually decreased from 94 to 81 HAHA. And now I just deleted, or as FB says it, unfriended 51 friends. Why? Because I'm cool like that HAHA. Reason being, I dislike being friends with people who I don't really know and as long as we haven't talked, I don't know you. I don't mind schoolmates but people whom I've met through camps mostly (you know, post-camp madness when everyone adds each other on FB but doesn't talk at all -.-) and some of primary school friends that are extremely anon to me. HMMMM.

It's really late now. I don't know why I insisted to unfriend friends at a time like this and didn't wanna stop till I reached Z. I think it's just me, wanting to finish up where I started. But that's funny, how come it's not the same with homeworks?

Oh well.

Ah, it's been sometime since I last uploaded pictures to Blogger! So anyway, today I baked Chocolate Cake :) It's my first time trying Betty Crocker's mix. I admit I was a little confused at first. It's like I wanted to bake brownies but realised if I wanted to, I don't need the mix. I should've bought the brownies mix or something instead haha. And for the first time, I did the frosting first before I did the cake.

It turned out well, of course. Just a little lop-sided on the top (and I blame the oven, my mum blames it too :P) but other than that, all's good (y)

This is the cake fresh from the oven! -


And here's the frosting, which I thought looked like mayo or mustard. The texture too haha.


And of course, after doing some final touches, here's the lovely cake :)


I thought twas so pretty I didn't even wanna cut it hahaha. Just let it be in the fridge! It's quite big, I might wanna give some to the neighbours or something. Doubt the family can finish it all soon though I bet my dad will gladly volunteer to be the one to finish all of it haha.

On a different note, I bought Hershey's yesterday from Resorts World Sentosa. My first time there and I gotta say, I was really fascinated by a lot of things last night. It was funny. I wanted to get something extraordinary but because I didn't bring enough money, I settled for Hershey's. Wanted to get Reese's too, but I decided not to. Then for all you know, my elder brother got home and I saw Reese's chocolates on the dining table HAHA. I call it FATE :P


All these eating of chocolates sure gonna get me fat than I already am. But oh well, I live to eat :P And I know I haven't been religiously cycling to the stadium and run like how I used to, I guess I'll make up for it - tomorrow? I think haha.

Oh and for the record, last night gotta be the most awesome for this holidays. Especially the part when I got home at 1 in the morning? HEHE It was epic. I felt good. The last time I got back that late, not with the familia, would be Countdown 2010. Long way back, aye?

And then I found out my 'lil sis got a new pair of footwear! From Crocs sale that happened in Expo yesterday? It's so cute I want one for myself too. But I bet it won't look as cute then HAHA.


Have a good Sunday everyone! x

Alright, I just had a quick flashback after reading through the blog archives. You know, this kind of thing? It's temporary. It's definitely a place for you to pour out your feelings and thoughts but have you ever wondered what next? At least for books you get to keep them but after awhile too, you'll stop writing and it'd be junk as you get on with your busy life. Perhaps only when you're packing up or free (like really free, like nothing better to do) that you'll take it out and write again as well as read the past but - well I don't know, you can never be sure.

Labels: flashback, happiness, ice clan, laughters, life

Initially, I wanted to change my 'website' under my information on Facebook but I figure it'd be too risky. I don't really mind friends reading but family? Relatives? I won't have as much freedom to write about anything anymore and then it'd just be pointless to keep this place as a place where I can let everything out.

(Gosh Zul, your face XD)
I don't know where to start. I feel extremely touched by alot of people and although there wasn't any tears of whatsoever, really, the feeling was undescribable. You just couldn't express them in words :)

Special thanks to my dearest WGN and Mr Octupus for ytd's beyond awesome outing! I knew they were up to something but of course, I didn't know what at all. So apparently when I was (well, I was supposed to be) alone at the Esplanade's rooftop, they came with this hugeass balloon that left me speechless! (Yeah I love to call it hugeass because it's really huge haha.)

We then sat around just laughing and talking about random stuffs and taking alot of pictures. There were once when this person walked past us when the camera just snapped so end result was a picture of his butt :D it was hilarious. And then since there was a preview of the NDP, we got to see the parachutes, the helicopters and ESPECIALLY (I can't help but stress this.) THE FIREWORKS!!! I loved it to bits and pieces. I got higher soon after too. It's the loud sounds and atmosphere that just turns you on. Anything loud is good. (Excluding metal and screamo music eh thanks.) Ah, it also brought back memories on watching it on my very birthday last year too :D

Drinks on the house at Starbucks after that. More crazy times and I shan't deny I actually felt good and proud carrying the hugeass balloon home :D but yes, thanks to Zul too for accompanyg till I reach Yishun! Nyeaha.

Amira and I had an awesome video conference earlier. For the first time haha. All the crazyness and randomness got in the mood like a flash woo. (Eh be honoured your name is the first one for this post yknw XD)

My legs are currently wobbly. We stood for hours. It was the first and definitely not the last. Somehow it gives you the (as what Hadirah would say) warm, fuzzy feeling inside. You just can't stand the people who simply acted like we were invisible anyway but it's okay. No pain, no gain mah.

On a different note, I caught Monsters vs. Aliens yesterday! :D & it wasn't that bad. If only it had more powerful effects that will just make your heart drop or something la. But anyhoo, it's still a good movie knowing it's only my 2nd one hahah.

Labels: awesome, happiness, life, love

Hilarious time with Shad and Nxtxsshx today!


We went for lunch at Pizzahut and laughed like nobody's business. Even the waiter can do nothing about it. Totally crapped all the way until my jaws hurt. I can't even think properly right now after a long period of time laughing lah. (Yeah it was that bad hahaha) But one thing's for sure, it didn't stop there. We went to the library after that and continued. And all the way to AMK Hub where we parted. Tsk tsk!

Thanks so much for the day, you two. Hopefully my laughing gas is still in working condition by tomorrow xD When I meh, you baaa kay.

I like this. Sometimes when something (mostly the bad) happens in my life, it doesn't only applies to me. So in other words, I can connect and vice-versa with people in the same boat easily :)

There's nothing more I can say actually. I'm happy just seeing you happy and I mean it. Really :D

Like a bird that has just been let out of its cage, it's time to fly.

There's always gonna be another mountain
I'm always gonna make it move
Always gonna be an uphill battle
Somebody's gonna have to lose

Ain't about how fast I get there
Ain't about what's waiting on the other side
It's the climb

& that's all that matters.

Last two days, on Tuesday, we went around for more sightseeing. My aunt brought us to see her school and my cousins' schools. It was kinda cool cos I've been wanting to know how schools in other countries are like too!

The school my aunt's teaching in.
Sakinah's school. :D
Then, we went to Jaya Hypermarket and I bought a top over there. Ate some dimsums before heading to a restaurant called Excellent Taste (actl I remember ET only haha). Soon after, we visited uncle Yusoff and family at his house. Food again but I skipped. Too full lah. XD

At night, sibs and I accompanied abg Syafiq when he wanted to meet his friends to transfer some pc games. After about an hour or so, we parted with his friends and had supper at a warong. We had roti john and drinks. Talked like there's no tomorrow (literally true cos it was our last night there) and got back home about 1+am. I loooved it!

The day I was leaving for Singapore.

Last shot on the way to Miri Airport.
Before take-off. Awesome, right? :D
& this is from - I wanted to say bird's eye view but birds don't fly this high. Or at least I think they don't so this is how it looks like from way up high in the sky at night. XD
-

Obviously, it's hard to let go but you gotta do what you gotta sometimes. Not gonna say much here but I really am touched by every single thing that has been done throughout my stay in Brunei. Special thanks to uncle Syafiee and family for everything; from the warm and welcomed hospitality to the treats to all the laughters and jokes to bringing us around to each and everything lah! I really appreciate it and never have been any happier. :D

I guess the tears I had during my journey in the aeroplane was bcos of the mixed feelings I felt. Disappointed bcos I wished we could've stayed longer, sad to leave my cousins and rest (seeing that we don't see each other that often), happy and glad to have been there and experienced lots of stuffs and having heart-to-heart talks with kak Lina and abg Syafiq. Also, I will never trade the fun I had over there for anything at all. Definitely will grab any opportunity that comes by and on a brighter note, I know it's not the end of world and I'll be coming back so I shall look forward to that for now. :)

Just thought of sharing this,

Some kuehs brought back to Singapore from Brunei. :)
I love how it's packed haha.

BBQ with everyone last Sat was great. Twas party time! Haha it was good lah, to see the people here whom we haven't met for years. Mingled around, talked, watched Man U vs Liverpool, ate chicken/lamb/prawns/ice-cream/laksa penang, laughed, snapped photos, ate somemore and ate somemore. XD

Grilled it all at first and then the guys, when they came over. :D
There was dragonfly/butterfly hahaha.
Re-united! :)
As for Sunday, we went to aunt Marjiah's place. A good friend of my mum and aunt's. She got like, countless number of cars! Including a jeep. :O Let me remind you that people here are not only rich but it's the cars that are cheeeap. At least $50k lesser? Or sth like that!

Masjid Sultan Saifuddin, I think lol.
Cousins! :)
The reflection! Superb, isn't it? :D
Later that night, we went to eat with aunt Marjiah's sis, aunt Hadizah, at a restaurant called Selera Alam. It was a spread! I swear there were alooot of food and I especially liked the prawns haha.

Stomach was full to the brim cos a couple of hours before that, we went to eat at another restaurant too. I ate briyani. XD MAKIN GEMOK SIA LIKE THIS.

The foooooood.

Okay I'm back again. Hahahaha this time, with a few pictures. I feel so free lah, like I'm really at home sweet home loooooool. The relatives' gonna start coming in anytime soon now. And it feels so surreal, I can't believe I'm here. XD

This is tha houz! Simple-looking yet veryyy comfortable :)
From another angle.
Earlier this afternoon, went to Giant. The mum drove woo! Kinda fun actually, and it's similar like the ones back at home and in M'sia. Coincidentally, the well-known Chef Ismail was there so we stayed to watch him cook and listen. :D

The Chef.
Guys checking us out hahaha kidding! Look at the skyyy.
Sis and meh.

Just realised. I'm gonna turn 15 this year! After I read Dahiyah's blog when she wished Ken. Oh my, how time flies. (I think I've said that for the 1234th time this week hahaha.)

Like seriously la, days're passing by fast. The long hours in school are definitely undescribable but what's more surprising is that despite the long hours, the day will be over just as soon as you want to ask, "Damn it, when is this going to end?" Ah, the irony.

So Dahiyah and I dropped by 1/6's classroom yesterday. Gotta admit, I MISS THE OLD TIMES. The year of a roller-coaster ride. The year when I cried and complained, loved and hated. The year when I only thought of one thing that is to transfer school. Actl thinking back, I was quite an idiot for all that ah. I mean, if I really was transferred to another school, I'd regretted. Confirm plus chop. Coz I wouldn't meet such lovely and nice friends, the teachers, the facilities (lol) almost everything, I guess. It was such a silly part on my side -.-

Well, people makes mistakes right? Yeah welcome to my l i f e.

Another happy day! Yesterday. :D

Basically, I met the people I missed dearly la. Primary school friends and just some randomy people me like! Heeheee.

It was Swensens with the whole family too last night. I had Almond Crust Lamb Chop(?) and Banana Crumble shared with the sis for dessert. Awesumz la. Delicious food sure awesome one. xD

(Izzah's Ice Creeeeeam.)

(The Cookies' & Cream drink.)

(My main dish,)

(And the dessert. :D YUMMMMM.)

(Akak ku. :D)

Then we tapau-ed a tub of ice-cream for my elder brother and it came with dry ice! Cool, rightttt? So we put water in it and this is what it turned to:


Huhu. Oh, and I saw Jin Xing again today. Didn't had the energy to call out his name when we actually past each other just like that LOL.
