All set.

Its just me, my lappy and 'You've Got Mail' on my bed.

The tissues are ready. Pillows? You bet.

NY152, where are youu?

post exam mania!

Just yesterday after Calculus paper part of the science geeks went to Pizza Hut for Pizza, duh. Dazril has been rambling on and on about it, whilst putting up pictures of pizza and lasagne as his display pic, so we finally went out and ate.

As if the splitzza wasn't enough, we hopped over to Swensens for icecream. Ahh. yummyness la. AND, shah ain and I found this shop which sold EXCELLENT CLOTHES. We HAVE to go there again and borong, with baba and lydiaaaa YEY.

I love it when the exams are over. And being in uni rocks, because everything goes by module, which means you don't have to continue studying during the holidays. Okay, bad study tip there. Don't follow, kids.

So TODAY, my mum left for Bangkok for a business trip. My sister and I spent the day in Orchard. I spent like $11 on bracelets? AND that brown roxy top was CALLING OUT for ME! I HAD to get it. But my adik was ALWAYS there to knock some sense into me.

me: "Linaaaa, should I buyyy? Its really gorgeous"
Brown roxy top: "buy me! buy me!"
lina: "NO KAK! ARE YOU MAD, with the price, you can watch harry potter 10 times AND buy popcorn."

Well she WAS right. It was seven-FREAKING-ty five bucks for a top. BUT it was simply gorgeous.

Well the bugger left at around 2 for her friend's chalet, and I walked around waiting for AINN to pass me You've Got Mail. I miss watching it, and its NOT showing on tv. Something to do tonight, then.

Mum's in Bangkok, sister at chalet. Its just daddy and me.

I wonder what's for dinner.

----------

ain: nahh, he'll prolly be amused and think "what a funny girl! she's the one for me!" (referring to herself)

me: okay i agreed with 50% of that statement (because ain IS funny..)

ain: KURANG ASAM

me thinks: haha, finally she got the message.

ain: YOU DON'T THINK I'M FUNNY???

BAHHHH.

I am back from the dead.

Okay, i never really died, in the first place. Exams are finally over, WEF yesterday ANNNDDDDD, it occured to me that I havent blogged about the saints raya YET! That's such a sin, I know. But the jalan raya was smack in the middle of my exams, so I couldn't commit academic suicide by blogging. So here are the photos, WOOHOO.

Of things beginning with the letter "p"

The P-Plate and the Pussycatdolls.



Lets begin with the P Plate. I passed my TP yesterday!! November 23 2005 shall be a date to remember for as long as I shall live. The tester I got was a demanding ole fart, but he passed me, so I shan't complain about him. My instructor told me he was the impatient one, out of the many testers.

Of 15 testees, only one would get the coveted Route 2, which did NOT involve travelling on a major road. I got Route 2 for my first test, and I was praying to get it again, but the probability was rather small, 1 in 15. In the end, after much praying, the girl doing the balloting pulled out my serial number for Route 2! Yeyy. But I wasn't too happy because anything could happen.

Throughout the whole road driving the freaking tester was still messing with my head, telling me to speed up and overtake here, overtake there. I was driving at 40km/h in the CIRCUIT, when the speed in there should be at most 30? Because he told me to hurry up. Well, maybe he had to go pee or smth.

He marked me down for insufficient acceleration and other speed related nonsense. But still, im happy, and thankful I passed.

Now for my Honda Jazz slash Beetle slash -sigh- Nissan March. If I cant get a Jazz or a beetle, then I'll have to settle for a March, which, my dad doesnt really like (i dont like it too), but my mum likes it. Alar, whatever la, as long as I have a car. Now, where do I start with the monetary issues...

Because my dad doesn't really like the idea of a P plate being on a 3 week old Honda Accord.

Anyways, meet Nicole. She's the lead in the Pussycat Dolls, and I think shes really hot. I was watching MTV just now, with my Math notes in hand, and stickwitu was playing on MTV. Gawd, shes TOO HOT to be human.



GARH. How do these people become so hottttt. Maybe they start by NOT eating junk food while studying.

-unwraps a snickers bar-

Gobloggg.

i am sadfrustratedangryhampaonthevergeofgivingup all rolled into one. The first exam STANK. What a great way to start off the exams. Well, at least now I know the standard of the exams. So lets all be optimistic, shall we?

3 more papers to go and then I'll be free to roam the streets.

I cheered myself up with not ONE but TWO bars of snickers, that will also bring UP my weight by another 5798346 kilos. Okay pe. Not so bad because i already weigh 346373452345 kg, so the extra weight wont make any difference.

Also, I am craving for Radcliffe. So I will get a dose of him tonight.

Anyhoos, i shall NOT let today dampen my spirit to muggggg like mad for my 3 other papers. Yeyy. whoever said mugging was boring?! _{(i did)}

Yey! Photos from Suff's open house!





suff act cute!



Yeyyy. I think Ain secretly wants to marry all of them thats why she's in the same colour as both halim and suff. tsktsk.



Baba told me to imagine -insert name- masuk minang ME so we'll look sad. well i just think i look retarded. but hey it wasnt easy taking the photo okay.


told you it wasnt easy.



probably the two most stubborn people you'll ever meet. (:

Okay. After the paper i told shah with full conviction that I won't be online. Banyak kau nyer tak online amy.

Study hard people!

Amidst the stress

Studied in school as usual, with my fellow geeks. This time instead of eating dinner at measly, unhealthy sedap Macs, I brought all of them home, with Atikk waiting at my front gate, for dinner.

Man, it really took my mind off studies for a while. Its been a long time since the SAtays came over, so this kinda relived those days, but with new people and more merepekness.


All of us were dead hungry la. Well okay, maybe only Shah and Ain.. and Atikk (duh)..


Group Pic! Well for the benefit of you guys who don't know the people, from left, that's Dazril, me, Shah, Atikk, Ain and Ahmad.


Another one. Dazril steal limelight seh, Haha!


Attack of the camwhores. Happens everytime theres a camera and these two.

Argh, it was SO tak glam, since they perused through my holiday photos, which half of the time I look pissed or just plain hodoh, with my truckloads of fats, etc etc. Young and dumb, those times were. And YES, as my MUM soooo supportively chipped in, theres NO difference now, still hodoh. Kurang asammmm betuls. haha. The next time people are coming to my house, I'll put a cloth over ALL the hanging photos on my wall. And lock all the albums in a crocodile pit.

Oh wells. It was fun while it lasted. Now the books/lecture notes are calling. Evil's paper on Monday. Please pray for me.

Sayaaannnggg semua. Happy mugging, people!

Thinking of

everything ELSE but the exams.

Wake up amy! Exams are just next week!

Where is my mind? My mind is thinking of this sunday, at Suff's open house. My mind is thinking of the potential Pizza session with the Sci geeks. My mind is thinking of the 26th, Saints potential Jalan Raya. My mind is thinking of Beijing, on 7th Dec. My mind is thinking of Lydia's return from down under. My mind is thinking of fishball noodle sessions with Lydia and Ba. My mind is thinking of painting Bugis Village red with the both of them.

Haiiyah. Like this how to studyyy?

Exam Blues

Gosh, time passes SO fast, its crazy. I felt like I just completed my As, waiting for the results. Then, in a snap, I'm in university, trying to adapt to undergraduate life. Now, one whole semester has come to an end, with exams on the way.

Stress, stress, hen mang, hen mang.

Dinner and berangans.

I was at the foodcentre opposite Ginza Plaza with Atikk and Kamie after German. It was just too fun! We somehow started talking about marriage and I recalled the akad-nikah that H rehearsed with me online.

Then I told them, that I secretly wanted to get married. (well, now not so secret anymore) So Atikk, as usual started thinking beyond. Actually, I started the whole fairytale by saying, "wow, what if I get pregnant?"

So naturally Atikk laid out the rest of the story.

"Totally lah amy! What if you're in MS lecture and ur water bag burst? Then we all have to ship you over to NUH immediately"

"ya, by what? shuttle bus ah?"

"eh totally! We'll carry you to bus stop, and ehhh take bus C, no bus B..ahhhh there's a 95! ahh take take, also can...then the bus uncle asks "eh tap ezlink card!" i will say "ehhhh uncle you blind ah! emergency here! no need to tap."

Poor innocent Kamie was there to witness the gruesome story unfold.

And Atikk rambled on about how during HER wedding, she'll force the kompang-ers to play really quickly, while she and her husband to be RUNS down the aisle, RUSH through the entire akad nikah and in her exact words "VROOM, masuk bilik, tarok "do not disturb" sign kat luar."

Okay I need to start my lab report, and I will leave the rest to your own imagination.

----

Me: -pointing at her mutton chop- tikk, why never eat the peas?

Atikk: Eee. Don't want. -pause- I don't want Black eyes.

what's up with these makciks.

Everytime I go visiting, I get one of these reactions/statements/comments, whatever la eh.

1) I stick out my hand to salam the makcik/nenek
makcik/nenek: oh, ni sekarang menengah 3? (oh, you are in sec 3 now?)

2) makcik points to both my sister and I
makcik/nenek: ohhh kembar eh? (oh, twins eh?)

3) makcik points to both my sister and I
makcik/nenek: yang maner kakak ni? (which is the elder one?)

HELLO ISNT IT OBVIOUS. It is the second response that I really find amusing.

My sister is 5 years younger than me.

Some makcik thought that my sister was in prmary school.

Wowness. I think its highly because of our height deficiency.

Raya madnessss!

STILL hyped up about the whole Raya atmosphere. Although a test is coming up on weds, which encompasses the whole freaking module. And it doesn't help that I'm completely lost. Matiiii la amyyyy.

Even so, I will NOT resort to cheating. ANY sort, actually. Haha, I thought cheating during exams, sneaky cheating, like you know, "times up!" and you sneak in a few more lines, or change your answers STOPPED at primary school. Or maybe secondary school. Its just childish to cheat like that in uni.

I wouldn't stoop so low, I swear.

Haha, shan't let this bother me anyways, my conscience is clear. Siapa tergigit cili, dia lah yang terasa pedasnya. So in the words of Hafiz As'ari, siaper yang terasa kat sana tu, tu kaunyer pasal lah.

You meet so many different kinds of people in uni. I swear. They range from the really nice, angelic ones to the horrid kinds. Burh.

To keep up the festivities, here are pics!

Day three is redredRED!




Dad's the photographer. heh.



attack of the camwhores. ey visiting gets reallly boring sometimes, you know.

Dah dah dah. I need to go memorise the periodic table. Dazril is mad.

Semangat hari rayaaaaaa.

Yesterday was 1st Syawal. Non-Muslims STILL dont get the whole concept of hari raya. Not their fault, I know, but its amusing for me to hear them go "wahhhh selamat hari rayaaaa, happy new year!"

Hari Raya does not equal new year, but just go with the flow lah.

It was fun, visiting, takes my mind off work for a while.




pics with the family and extended family. well not THAT extended, just my dad's elder sister and younger brother. we DID NOT plan the somewhat similar purplish-pink shades.
camwhoring. haha sorray.

she was too cute. (decide on the "she" yourself)

Day 2 of raya, i'll usually go visiting somemore. But boo. theres school. not forgetting the german test. arrrrrr. BUT, had people making raya more semangat.

ain and I! black vs white, good vs evil. you decide.


ahhhhh all so pretty pretty la.


After german class. smudged makeup and whatnots.



my german girls, whom i love so dearly.

Ahhh. Today was great. every last bit of it. :)

Something's you should just read.

I was in the midst of doing my lab report and I hit a dead end. So I went online to see if anyone could help me.
