A Summer afternoon in Schwarzsee

Mwahaha

I just got back from dinner at Hazwani with my parents + adik, Haikal, Shai, Hakim, Ridhwan, Fadzli Cins, Harun and Ahmad. Well we sat at separate tables, of course. I wouldn't wanna imagine if all of us were at the same table. The awkwardness would be too overwhelming. I sat with Shai and Haikal for a while (while waiting for the rest to arrive) and moved back to sit with my parents when my food arrived.

My sister: OMG kak! Hakim really like teddy bear!!!

So while in the car back home, my mum asked where all of them stayed.. So I said those that I know la..

Me: Ahmad lives in eunos, Haikal in Woodlands-ish, Hakim in the east-ish..

-after 5 minutes-

My sister: Eh kak! This is a great riddle, sempena your science fac people speak bad english.

Me: What?

My sister: Who knows where Ahmad stays? ... EUNOSSS!!!! (You knows)

Hahahahaa!

Then while we were in the lift back home, everyone was so quiet until -out of a sudden- my mum said:

"Eh Di (short for Daddy) dulu Amylia baby you cebokkan dia kan?"

WTH!!!!!!!!!

WHAT a RANDOM STATEMENT!

Lucky we didn't sit together just now, my friends and my family! Who knows what else my mum would have said!!!

Arts Day!

Today is Wednesday. Wednesday is ARTS day for me! all my lessons today are in Arts.. 8-10 German lecture, 10-12 German tutorial (THATS 4 HRS OF GERMAN, BALLS!) then a 2-4 Singapore Society Lecture.

German Tutorial was SO much fun. Well the company. I had Adi and HoShan in my class! Frau Whats-her-Name wasn't very interesting. I would have preferred Frau Punkt-punkt ANYTIME man.

Then came SS lec, where Mukmin and Hafihz sat next to me. Mukmin, mukmin. WHERE exactly do I start.

Mukmin: Oh kau baru balik Switzerland? Which part did you go? I'm from Switzerland you know. I'm from the Italian speaking part.

Me: -gives whatEVER face-

Mukmin: Aper? Tak percaya eh? Let me tell you my family history. My family name is actually Giovanni. You know during the World War 2, Switzerland was neutral and all. And Mussolini was spreading his facist regime? So my nenek and datuks fled to Swiss.

Hafihz and I PRETENDED to be interested in his story and nodded regularly throughout the course of his story.

Me: Oh, is that so? So which part of Switzerland did you live in?

Mukmin: Excuse me! Its called CANTONS okay. And I lived in the Italian speaking part.

Me: YA LAH WHICH CANTON!

Mukmin: Its called Par-ser-deee-nah. (emphasis on the dee) [Me: BEDEK SEH. NO SUCH PLACE!] Really! So I think I want to go exchange also lah, you know, go back to my Italian roots. Rimas ah, sini, being around Malays. (padahal sendiri melayu)

And he starts blurting out Italian words, or at least speaking in an Italian accent for a good 15 minutes or so.

Freaking funny lah!

Me: What?! Do I look like a nerd to you?!

Mukmin: -zero hesitation & very coolly- Ya. Aper seh soalan macam gitu. Buat perangai eh?

Then when lecture ended,

Hafihz: Guten Tag!

Me: uhhh. Okay, same to you..

Mukmin: -sneezes- GESUNDHEIT!

Me: -in all niceness and sincerity- Mukmin, when you sneeze, -I'M- supposed to be the one saying GESUNDHEIT. Not you. You don't exactly say it to yourself.

Mukmin: -gives me the most whatever face in the world- Eh, WHAT-EVERRR eh. People in Pasedeenah do it this way okay!

And I thought people in pasedeenah speak italian.

HAHAH!!! OMG!!! He's TOO funny!! *cough* Ain awards nominee *cough*

Out with the SAtays!

Finally after 29384923874923874 years I get to see my lovessss!

Well we had lunch at Sakura and sat around at Lido.





We were sitting at Lido and no one wanted to buy drinks. So...



Check out Irwan showing off his Vocab. And Physics knowledge that he probably returned to Mr Ong.



Haha! We went to Zohor and parted ways. Irwan asked me to Borders, and while we were walking there, Baba and Hirmy wanted to go to Birkenstocks!



Geram man, all the birkies!



Went to Borders after that to get Irwan's book. Man, he actually READS now la. Impressive stuff, NS.

Anyway, whoever who tagged on my board, here's the link to Hady's Lagenda performance.

LONG day!

Had my first Pharma lab today. We looked at molecules and built them on this funky software called PCModel. Well but 3 hours of looking at butane, butene, cyclopropane and fiddling around with their bond rotations and checking out the torsional strain and energy is not fun okay.



I died after the lab session.

Anyway something in Pharma lect that's worth mentioning. You know how this Pharma module is a level 3 mod, means we year 2 chem people will be competing with year 3 PHARMA students. In lecture, its quite disheartening la, since the pharma students will be shouting out drug names and we chem students will be blur to the max.

So today Prof talked about R,S configuration. And she asked "so is this part ok?"

Someone from the back shouted "NO!!!!"

So PRof said "Whats wrong?"

The same voice, in an extremely exasperated tone said "WHAT is R and WHAT is S?!?!?!?!?!"

AMIKKK KAUUUU OBATTTTT!!!!!!! I was smiling with pride ah, that for once, we know something they don't! hahah. Jahat eh. And Kheng Aik who was seated beside me was like "WALAO R,S also duno!!!!" YESSAAAHHH.

Anyway, Mummy's back from Australia! WOOHOO! Home cooked food at last!






So romantic right! Still hold hands! Walao I'm so jealous. Make sure when i'm 80 my husband still holds my hand in public. Okay lets not think so far, and settle the husband part first. haha.

Anyway, my last entry about me watching and rewatching Hady's performance on YouTube... haha I'm not the only one! Fatma's doing it too! YES LA shes a jon convert! Anyone can see that Hady deserves to win it! YEY!

Then Haikal just told me that he's watching it too! hahaa!

I think Fatma is really really in love with Hady la. She just asked me if i'm going to Westmall to catch them tomorrow! OMG!!!! HAHAHA BAIK FATMA!!!!!

Anyway last night I could have slept early, but NOOOO. I chose to have a little fun with Photoshop and I did the Yellow Submarine thing for MS Exco. One hour gone, balls and I slept at 2am because of that. Haha!


Click to enlarge.

Its SO badly Photoshopped, btw. Haha so dont shoot me okay. It was done out of pure boredom.

Okay dahlah. Enough airtime. Nites all!

HADY!

Hady totally rocks my socks man. I can't stop watching and rewatching his performance last night. Totally meltable! I think its very clear la, if Singaporeans aren't biased, that Hady will win. He's like the best among all, so yup.

ANYWAY, moving on to other stuff, I was at YIH workspace today, duh. Workspace is like my second home on campus la, you wanna look for me, just go workspace man. High probability I'll be there.

Yup so anyway, I was walking back to Workspace from the toilet zafter taking ablution and Lina (not my sister lah) was behind me. So when we were taking the telekungs and sejadahs,

Lina: Hey! I like your jeans! Not that I was staring at your butt or anything, but the design at the back pocket is nice! Where did you get it? Topshop? Dorothy Perkins?



In my mind: WOW!!!!! Dorothy perkins man!! Haha! Padahal less than 30 bucks at -insert shop name-

Me: Haha! No lah!!! Do I look like I get stuff from Topshop OR Dorothy perkins? I'm such a cheapo! I got it for -insert price- at -insert shop name-!!

Lina: WOW!!! Haha, don't worry man, you're talking to Miss This Fashion!

TOTALLY!!!! hahaha.

haha!

OMG LA! MSN is totally getting on my nerves! Halfway through my chats I couldn't send messages! But sometimes it would get sent over. Sickening part was that, the proper words I typed DIDN'T get sent over, but when i just randomly press my keyboard, the thing gets sent over! Means the poor person chatting with me suddenly gets a


amyy says:
sdkfhjskjhfsjkhf

for nothing!

Sickening.



(I have no idea why my orange font is blur, but it was a random string of letters, and it got sent thru)

So I got so frustrated and logged off. Heh.

----

Was chatting with Adi and he sent me a list of the songs-of-the-day that we had in Switzerland! Its like some weird disease. One of us will start singing one song, and after that most of us will start singing it, cause its stuck in our heads.



Totally man. I miss all of them!!!

(some never before seen footage haha)







GLORIOUS InterCity Trains!





Meet up soon guys! I can cook spaghetti, HoShan can bring microwave pasta from coop, Rebecca brings burnt maggi, Adi brings rice, Manna bri...

-sings- I don't wanna hear, I don't wanna know...Please don't say you're sor...

HAHA! Song of the day!

Pour toi.



If you, if you could return
Don't let it burn, don't let it fade
I'm sure I'm not being rude
But it's just your attitude
It's tearing me apart
It's ruining everything

I swore, I swore
I would be true
And honey so did you
So why were you holding her hand
Is that the way we stand
Were you lying all the time
Was it just a game to you

But I'm missing you
You know I'm such a fool for you
You've got me wrapped around your finger, ah
Do you have to let it linger
Do you have to, do you have to, do you have to let it linger

Oh, I thought the world of you
I thought nothing could go wrong
But I was wrong, I was wrong
If you, if you could get by
Trying not to lie
Things wouldn't be so confused
And I wouldn't feel so used
But you always really knew
I just wanna be with you

family comes first. always.

Well I just had one of the best days ever.

First german lecture today was a ball of fun! Frau Verry (pronounced Fffferry, since she's such a phonetics enthusiast, but I say it Verry haha) HAS to be the cutest Lehrerin alive.

Had breakfast @ Macs with Ahmad after German where I met THE hottest guy alive there. :D:D Thanks Ahmad. Haha.

After which Ahmad and I joined the rest at YIH to visit Yusfizah's dad at NUH. We made him a fruit basket (which its picture I cannot upload because Blogger is trying to be funny with me).

Anyway it was extra emotional for me because the walk to NUH reminded me very much of the times I would go to NUH after school (back then in SAJC) to visit my arwah nyai. The lobby, the fruit shop, the smell, everything felt and looked the same.

I pray for Yusfizah and her family, that He will keep them strong and I pray that her father gets well soon. Well it just pained me to be in the ICU, looking at her dad, with 101 tubes here and there, very thin and frail. I really couldn't contain my tears.

We left shortly after because we had lectures at 2pm at assorted places.

I made my way to Workspace to work on the questions that Prof went through during 61 lecture, which I unfortunately fell asleep in. Heh heh.

Stayed around workspace for a bit and we left for dinner-- Hakim, Haikal, Banz, Muzzy, Atikk and I. Ate at Hazwani's. I mean, where else right. Haha. But it was the company that mattered because it was great. Heh.

Now's close to two because I itchyly went to watch Click (thanks Kamal) when I SHOULD be sleeping. Know what. Its like the best movie ever. I seriously cried like a baby la. Macam bodoh, nangis seorang. But it was SO sad! I can't imagine someone NOT crying la. I'm seriously is such a ______ mood right now. 3948729387429387492387 emotions all at once.

On another note, Kate Beckinsale is some serious hot stuff.

Family comes first. Always.

That, my friends, is MY lesson of the day. In more ways than one. :)

im in a funky mood today.

Today I went shopping with my dad! So fun lah! He had to stock up on perfume, so we went in search for a new scent. He bought Burberry's! And... I splurged on a 100ml bottle of Escada goodness. Actually I was torn between Elizabeth Arden and Escada. I think I will have to eat grass for the rest of the month. For two months.

Okay well now at least I will smell delectably harum(-er than I already smell).

I was bumming around the house the whole day, reading the Soci coursepack. Some interesting stuff I've got there, actually. Until I received a sms from Dazril saying that Buble was on Starworld!!!!!!!!!!

THANK GOODNESS LA. I ALMOST forgot about the Buble: Caught in the Act thingum.

(on sms)

Me: Mann, Buble is some serious hot stuff.

Dazril: Haha ya balls. amazing voice, much like mine actually. muakak

Urhh. I almost fainted after reading the sms actually.

Slenger gilssss.

As the title suggests, I've pretty much had a fruitful day.

After school today, I stopped by Watsons' to get face wash since I've just run out of it. Face wash is like the most important thing evahhh! So anyway, I'm the kind of person who makes a Watsons' visit a shopping spree because isn't Watsons' just great? They have like everything so you're just tempted to buy stuff you don't exactly need.

So anyway I took two bottles of my fave facial wash and I saw shower cream! It was nice and bright yellow so i just HAD to buy it. -facepalm-

So when I took a bath just now I took the liberty of trying out the spanking new shower cream I bought. When I put some on my hands I knew I made a HUGE mistake. I was SO distracted by the bright yellow colour of the thing that I didn't check what fragrance it was!

Guess what la!!! Its JASMINE!!!!

That means after I bathe I'll be smelling like GREEN TEA!!!!!!!!

ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.

Okay nevermind.

Well just 5 minutes ago, I felt bored so I went online searching for pictures to use as my display pic.

Because I think Mike Delfino is hot, I went in search for his picture. Thing is, I forgot what his real name was so I made a blind guess. I know it starts with a J, and his last name starts with D. So I tried John Dalton. But WTH!!! The search results I got were along the lines of "great chemist, physicist.."

WOW SINCE WHEN WAS MIKEY A CHEMIST?!

Then I realised, John Dalton was the dude who came up with the Atomic Theory that we learnt in Chemistry!! Haha! No wonder la, the name familiar.

THIS is John Dalton! (Hardly what I was searching for)



OMG LAAAAAA!!

Mike Delfino's real name, my friends, is James Denton.



Haha!

Khibrah 06!

Welcome tea was today, and it came and went. Well I thought it went pretty smoothly considering the rushed planning and whatnots.

OH yes, and I forgot to mention the amazing, faint-inducing turnout! We had food for 80, but 1 hour into the welcome tea and people were still streaming in! Mr PD says the count HAD to reach 100. Wow! Totally a remarkable achievement, YESSAAHHH. Alhamdulillah, I mean.

Well we had the quantity, I hope the freshies felt the quality as well. Some of them were impressed that we actually had ice cream! Amashammmm.

Finally met Adlina and WOW WOW WOW!!! I met Rahman!!! It was super funny because for NS he was stationed at NCC HQ, and he was teasing my sister while she was rifle-ing. And then NOW, he's my junior. Ak ak ak ak. Rahman's my arwah nyai's arwah younger brother's grandson. Amashamm the relation.

After that it was socialise with freshies and camwhoring time. (I love my tudung, btw)




THE Kak Anah. I have so much respect for her la, seriously.


Lovely team B!


Best friend and I



Then Izean had a fantabulous idea.


WTH.


Muzzammil handsome seh.


AhmadSol: Okay keep a distance.
Me: Oh puh-leeze. Its not as if I'm going to peluk-peluk you. *rolls eyes*
AhmadSol: Alarrrr. Takde peluk eh?-makes kesian + sad face- Taknak ambik gambar ah gitu.


NUSMS Exco 06/07!


In the van to YIH!


The important people in my life. There's a few more not in the picture, of course. One's in PGP, one's taking the photo, one's in PBM Exco, one's...

Okay so that pretty much sums up my day today! I need Raspberry Tea!

An open letter to my best friend.

Dear Mummy,

I know you're in Australia, battling the cold, cold weather and driving to work daily with your 4L sedan. If you can bring back the car, please do. So anyway, I just want to tell you that the shoes at the door, has piled up even more now. Haha. Daddy's and Lina's too!

Also I want to tell you that I miss your cooking. The other night I fried bananas for daddy but it wasn't as good as yours, duh.

More importantly, we all miss you like crazy so please come home soon.

On a side note, my room is very very messy right now. If you see, confirm pening.



Oh don't blame me for the bottles because the Cheers store at NUS is selling the Pokka thingum at 2 for $1.90. Murah gils right.



See at least I bother to arrange them nicely.

Can you guess what my favourite flavour is? Haha.

Also, your second daughter has not changed much. Yesterday when I came back from school, she left me this on my laptop:



I woke her up but she didn't wake up.

Today, she left me this:



Its 1.39 am now and she's still sleeping.

Anyway, take care Mummy. I can't wait to fetch you from Changi Airport.

Much love and hugsss,
ME!

first day of school!

Okay first and foremost, I forgot to mention in the previous post that Skywards is the frequent flyer program for Emirates airlines. So whenever you fly emirates, you accumulate miles, based on the distance you travel and you can use your accumulated miles to redeem a free air ticket to a destination, or enjoy many of their privileges.

Anyway, today was the first day of school! Woohoo! Finally school is back and of course I wore white today, being the first day of school. Haha, its a personal routine for me actually. First day of school is a white day.

I'm super fungry now, and am about to cook instant noodles in a bit. I just got home from yet another Exco meeting.

I wasn't much in the meeting mood primarily because 4 hours of lecture (straight) is very strenuous to the brain. But I did speak when I needed to speak. Basically... okay lah, brain stuff is just for me to know. hehe.

Anyway.

I think this will be a great semester because my first two lecturers today are great. Maybe the spectroscopy lecturer could use some english courses, but other than that, its COOL.

I'm trying to think of a way that I can halal-y peluk Hakim. HAHA! He's just too cute I really cannot take it.

Ah dah lah, stomach's complaining. It was a fruitful first day of school! Yey!

------

Its one thing to blatantly lie in my face. (and STILL be SO self righteous and pretend you did nothing wrong)

Its another to only say you're sorry ONE WEEK later.

So save it for someone who actually gives a damn.

Thanks. :D

Oh happy day.

Today I am feeling extremely bitchy. Probably because of PMS, and probably because of other things that I shouldn't discuss now because then I will be bitchy again.

So lets blog about happy things!

I printed my Spectro notes today to get ready for Monday's lecture! School's starting and I'm excited!

Okay that's not exactly happy.

Ohh ohh!!!!! Guess what came in the mail today?!?!?!?!?!

My Skywards package!!!!!!!!!!



Introducing my exquisite, pretty, magnificent Skywards card!!!!!!



Oh! And guess what came along with the card?!?!



LUGGAGE TAGS, BALLS!!!!!!!



Ahhh, I love Emirates SO, SO, SO much!!! I'm EXTREMELY bummed that we're not taking emirates for the EURIP thing at the end of this year. Its between Thai, Qantas and SQ. Well I hope that we get SQ then, since I don't have the power to choose Emirates.

Fly Emirates, people!


-published at 10:40 PM.




Officially in office!

Warning: Lots of pictures, WILL suck up bandwidth. ak ak ak.

Man! Today was SO MUCH fun! Well first half of the day was Exco meeting and THEN! as all the guys changed into their formal wear and all...



They really looked good la. The girls were kecoh-ly trying to help the guys pick out THE perfect tie.

And then we made our way to LT34, where the Annual General Meeting (AGM) was held. So while standing around and looking pretty (and waiting for Mahgrib) we CAMWHORED!!! (I mean, duh right. What else can we do!) WOOHOOO!!








Me-Haikal-Izean!


Me-Izean-Liza


After the first meeting, where I first met Fairuz (the above guy) I thought he sounded familiar. As in, I don't know him la, but the way he talks reminds me of someone.. But I couldn't really figure out who.

Anyway, Fairuz is 1/3 of the Orang-orang Bukit Batok! Woohoo! I just realised that Him, Banz and I live nearby each other! Noe what that means?! I don't mind late meetings anymore! Haha! I have not 1, but TWO going-home buddies! Both RI-RJ seh. Aper ni? Is it a ploy to make me feel intellectually inadequate? No la, but the two of them are cool. :D

And of course to commemorate our newly formed Bukit Batok popular group, we took an inaugural group photo!



Okay okay, I digress. So, after much chatting with Mr Doctor, I realised that he talks and sounds TOTALLY like......

HIRMAN!!!!!

Well duh, Hirman was his senior back in RI, man!

I think the most stressed of all of us HAS to be Fatma! Because while all of us are comfortably seated, enjoying the aircon, she is seated facing the audience taking down meeting minutes! Check her out, in full concentration.



And check out Hakim, the world's cutest president ever!



Aiya, so cute rightttt?? Don't you feel like hugging him????!

And then, it happened.



And Hakim gave his speech, and formally introduced all of us.





And just like that, it was over.

Team Marketing took a last photo! :( Lets not let the friendship end there, guys. Haha.



Group shots, before we parted ways for the night!




42nd exco in black and gold. 43rd in black and white.

And THEN, I got home, took off my heels and realised what a MESS it is. Ignoring the shoes that I've crossed out, the others are all MINE, that I've worn for the past few days. Lucky Mummy's in Australia and doesn't have to see the mess. Kalau tak..



WAH! I'm such a dedicated, passionate blogger lah. I spent 2 hours photoshopping, 1 hour blogging lah! When I could have slept early today! hahaa! Too excited okay.

Okay dahlah selamat. Nitess!
