6) sharon dearie also turned 22 last saturday and we had loads of fun@villa'ge. i couldn't be there earlier to help out with the card, but i think kat and alecia have a great artistic mind to do the card so nicely in such a short time. if it was me, i would have probably drawn my flowers all over the card. heh. :)

nice nice ambience.

nice wonderful friends.

and yes yes, i miss you too. tey-ney-ney nose just can't stop running. -sheesh. but oh wells, tom back to work and please sofi, stop STOP being forgetful. Sofi loves raisins and dates :)

someone please tell me that corporate finance is less difficult than parallel parking. i am not in the right mind to think of school now.but sadly, i don't have a choice.boo-hoo. anywaysss, i registered my year 3 modules and i have a feeling that it is definitely NOT going to be exciting. firstly, i have to deal with corporate finance. HELLO! CORPORATE FINANCE. already, the name of the subject is enough to make me pee in my pants and what more the content itself. risk-asset portfolio, and maths, maths. then i have to deal with macroeconomics. i don't entirely have a problem with macro, neither marketing nor msm, but most of my favourite study buddies have already took it in year 2 or they have graduated! so, i am left studying alone at one corner crying my lungs out and kianchiong-ing as usual. ok fine fine. i am exaggerating.haha. i know shidah sinping agnes taking msm which is triple yay-ness! but the more the merrier ritee??? oh wells we shall see how it goes. and btw, i am so so not looking forward to results dayyy laa

but oh oh! next sem is going to be so much fun! with kana joining sim and bari'ah's office only a few stops away from sim, we can meeet up more often! wheeeeee!! and sha sha, i will personally drag u down with my sungguh tak muscular arms and join us k. haha. isk, need i say more? u can come with su from nus. i INSIST! and ohhhmyyygoddd, they finally opened a netball club after val initated the idea to the mgmt. so, must join k! including khai, rizal and zark. haha. =) trust me you would love netball more than soccer. haha.

rite. i am so merepek nowww la. i guess it must have been the nonsense food that i ate just now for dinner. crab crap man and awfully lotsa sweet sinful fondues and cakes. -sigh- prepare for battle tom for tuition and meeting then, sofi.

shut the eyes.

SHUT THE EYES!!!

Are you OKAY?

ALRIGHT!!!!

Are you ALRIGHT?

OKAY!!!

OKAY OKAY ALRIGHT?

ALRIGHT ALRIGHT OKAY!!!

haha. as you can see, i am still high on the summer camp eventhough the it ended last saturday. i have yet to get my ample rest as i have been busy giving tuition and doing stuffs which i missed for the past one week or so. but heck it, the international summer camp was just so so unbelievable. be it the bukit timah hike to the lost of cards-sheesh!- haha. and to the jalan-jalan di orchard road. i love every second of it and amazingly, each of the coaches, campers and teachers still potrayed high level of enthusiasm at the end of the last day. the tears that shed in almost everyone eyes during the last day of camp was unbelievable. we all are definitely going to miss our international friends from south africa, thailand, malaysia, hongkong, taiwan, china and of course, the nan hua students too. it felt as though i have travelled to these places in a short period of time, learning their language, culture and games. my ketupat-5 was simply amazing and yeah!!!!! we rock-ed the dragonboat race!:)

and of course how can anyone forget wanhao's rendition of banana dance, meant and boy's antics, the coaches favourite song by st stephen's college, "HONGKONG! KOWLOON HONGKONG! WE LOVE HONGKONG! IT'S A PLACE FOR YOU!!!" haha. and the packing of goodie bags, where coach siti drank petrol and worked full speed. coach kavee being clown and said that the song "exercising" was as though coach luke was brainwashing the kids. haha. the trip to vivo with coach nadiah during the first day of camp while waiting for the rest of the campers. and coach syirin!!!!!!!!!!!! my eat,sleep,shit buddy.haha. coach lala, shasha, may, kavee, for reviving the good ol' time. and coach kenny and terrence for providing dry humour! and coach karen&siti for teaching us the friendship song!!!

-sigh- i guess all good things have to come to an end, well,thank you guys for the wonderful experience!!! :)) loooking forward for moreeeeee.*HUGGIESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS.

and so, i thought dropping-the-phone-in-the-toilet-bowl incident can only happen on tv UNTIL it happened to me. needless to say i am a klutz, though at times i am really careful about the nitty-gritty things in such places. -sheesh- but shit happens. and it just have to happen at the correct time and literally at the correct place. but oh well, i just bought a new phone, at a shocking price of 88 bucks cos of my $100 voucher and daddy's redemption points. and i still wonder for a person with fat fingers, what the hell am i doing with a small button keypads. sigh. can't complain much cos 88 bucks for w880i? i think it's quite a good buy for now.

anyway, one minute silent for the demise of my k800i. shhhhhhh! i mean it!!! haha. ok ok fine fine. but that was a good phone! i mean c'mon for a camwhore like me, a cybershot phone, it's practically my boyfriend. the songs in it, its my freaking mp3! and errrr.. a million and one memories in that phone! heartpain sial!(haha isk!!!)oh well, new phone new memories i guess. haha

and now, let's play some game!:) haha.

tagged by farah and wazzy.

Each player of this game starts off with ten weird things or habits or little known facts about yourself.People who get tagged must write in a blog of their own ten weird things or habits or little known facts as well as state this rule clearly.

1) need i say more from the above? haha. well, that is just the beginning. hahahaha

2) i don't know how to put on make-up. on bad days, one part of my face might be darker than the other or the eye-shadow will be slighter more on one part than the other. my uncle thought my eyes was "tembel"(swollen) when it was actually a golden-coloured eye-shadow. on good days, when i tell people that i put on make-up, their normal reaction would be, " you put on MAKE-UP?"

3) i do not like talcum face powder. i feel as though i find it hard to breathe and i would die of insufficient oxygen in the air.haha. given a choice i would take a bath by hook or by crook. or worse come to worse, my mum would put it on for me or i would wash my hands immediately after that. which boils down to the question, how am i going to dress my kid up in future. nyeh.

4) i am so blind that i said "HELLO!" to 89802804894 wrong person and humiliate myself again and again just because i don't like to wear specs permanently and fear of wearing contact lens. there was once at kkh when i was expecting my little nieces to come. so in my two naked eyes, i excitedly ran to them with arms wide open saying, " YASMIN! SARA!" and only to find out that they ran away from me because they were boys and girls from a chinese family. thank god su was there to drown my embarassment a little.

5) i love to sing that sometimes i am so oblivious to the surroundings that someone has to shhhhh! and give me the-WTH look. ask ian and shidah. fuckingembarrasing.hahahaha.

6) i tend to sweat the small stuffs eventhough it means deciding between bagel with omelette and pancakes or missing out one word that comes out from the lecturers mouth.

7) i am so so paranoid that when i go home and no one is at home, i will call someone or anyone to accompany me till i walk upstairs to my room.

8) when i was a kid i was so scared of the dark or eerie areas that i would SHOUT OUT LOUD and say, "AUZIBILLAHIMINASHAITANIRAJIM, BISMILLAHIRAHMANIRAHIM" and read whatever surah on my mind. now, i do it silently.-ithink- hahaha.

9) when i was in KL, i ate so much that i believe that food would digest faster or i wouldn't blow up like a balloon by jumping 100 times after i eat. the result? it's just an honest self-belief.

10) i still have a kid in me and i blatantly show it especially with zikry and redha, by either playing role-play, police and thieves or dinosaurs.

11) i am/was so gullible that if you were to say that even my boyfriend kisses/ kissed a girl in the club, i would laughed it off. NOW, THAT's NOT GG TO HAPPEN. if that every happens, hell will break loose. watch it.McBastards, rite farah?haha.

geez, 11? hhaha. i went a little bit overboard. well, that sums up me being a crazy weird girl. but muhahaha. what's new?

now, i tag: su, isk, tatia, ili, nadiah din, nadi, nadia ash(haha) and whoever la. haha:))


oh ! that song sayang sayang aduahai sayang is stuck in my head laaa. whoa.. thanks ah zark.. haha. another papa jahat kinda song i think. muahahhaa.

sofi is just so so so boooooodooooooh beyond words la......

grrrr..!!!!

if anyone, ANYONE invent a waterproof handphone or heard of a waterproof phone selling in the market now,

call 1800-sofi-the-ultimate-klutz-of-the-century.

thank you very much.

-wailsssss-

3 working days.3 working days.
:((((((

so, i survived the first week as a waiter/cleaner/helper/voice-recorder of "THE FOOD IS COMING!"/employee-to-employer@Galileo Cafe. it's a whole different experience, dealing with difficult customers, foreign workers and also communicating with your superiors. with all the challenges surfacing especially during lunch crowd, the pressure builds up with each customer walking in with faces written all over saying, "GIVE ME FOOD OR I WILL EAT YOU UP" it feels as though you are going to war&eventhough you are ready with your ammunitions, you seriously, cannot predict much about the future. i vividly rememeber this auntie who made a lot of noise asking why her food have yet to be served, with a commanding tone saying, "YESTERDAY LIKE THAT TODAY ALSO LIKE THAT. HAIYOOOOOOO.!" while others don't have to say anything but just sit and wait for the food to arrive as two of his friends received the food years ago. and you have a boss who crazily roars during lunch crowd and want food to be delivered fast even if it's not ready.you just gotta keep on moving! eventhough it means picking up the cut spring onions at one corner.

so, with all the stress that is bulldozing into me, i guess what keeps me going on is this, :) yes, a smile. a smile is a curve which sets everything straight. be it how mean they can be, be it how menacing those eyes may seem, be it how loud they can be. it.just.keeps.eveything.back.in.order. so what if the working consensus is broken?smile. so what if he stares and look through you?smile. so what if he shouts at you?smile. of course there are funny moments in Galileo, for instance, the old cook uncle pronouncing BLUE WATER as BULU WATER and when the colour changes to purple, it becomes BULU BEER, to him. he is so pelat, btw. me and shidah trying to figure out what in the whole universe the cook-s from china were talking about. and of course, working together with ilah and sorfina. anddddd... having mum, dad friends and families as the customers. so, yes, in the end only kindness matters no matter to a young punk or an old demanding lady. but of course, you should know when enough is enough rite? so, spread the smile people!

and i have already done that last sat at Kristine's 21st surprised party@her place!! i don't know how her sister managed to call up most of her friends for the surprise but she sure put in a lot of effort. well, it was reallie nice to see my sec sch mates after soo long. and i think it will be another 545934503853 months till i get to see kris again. how i wish i could switch places with her eventhough it means visiting the opera house everyday as part of my project. -sigh- but nevertheless, i had a smashing rollin' good time there tho!:)

surprise!!!

and the maid had a tough time cleaning up the area after that. haha

little cheryl :)kris sweet cousin.


we were bored while waiting!

and the cake is so so kristine.

i had a bad time recalling the bartleyans, the chinese guys especially. but nevertheless, it was nice=D

through sec, jc and uni and netballllll!

kris and SR 1st 3 mths SR ppl.

it's amazing how 1st three months friends can go a looooong wayyyy!

and i miss dikir! haha

yeapp. navin is as tall as the twin towers now and so as his ego. muahaha. what's new? -KIDDING.lol.and paul? i cant remember that well. oh dear. haha

jocey and rene whom i vividly remember as the super-enthu basketballers of SR!

ex-SRJCians from 1st 3 mths and after:) excludin cheryl and ervin. which explains the gap. haha.

so, yeap:).

just :)

*hugs.

isn't shrek3 entertaining with a capital E and N and T and E and R and i-very-malas-to-spell-already.... and G!!! haha! it doesn't help the fact that i watch it with a living baby shrek just two seats away from me!! tee-hee-hee! the next time i coach at a primary school on leadership, i am definitely going to tell my kids that my ultimate super-hero has got to be SHREK! haha, nevermind the fact he is greeeeeeeen and grosssss, the most important thing of them all, he is funny to save the day from a mundane or taxing day at work or school:)). so, nat, don't worry dear, i would love to watch it again if i am free! it's consistently funny, every second! oh! and don't u think redha looks like baby shrek? realliee! 2 strangers told me that when i carried him around in TM just now! and, he always always give the expressions that shrek gives-look above-. well what can i say? like grandfather, like grandson. (uhhuh, not redha's dad. if you put my dad and redha side-by-side you would probably know what i mean. haha)
of course, it would have been boring without great company in any kind of family outings. nadi, wan and the sis family. this pic was taken when we were about 5 years old and yes, i was a cry baby. a very bad one. i'm still one actually. haha. but this time round, she won't laugh at me like last time but lend a listening ear.haha!

sat:! we were supposed to go korean again but nadi was too tired from work that she was already in lalalalalala land half an hour after the show started!hmprh-not fun:( haha. nevertheless, the impromtu decision to sleepover at my place was bagel-ly fun spread with philidelphia cream cheese on top of it! yummy!

those legs? not mine.

those red hot nails? not mine.

those papillios? mine.

and it all began with

farah: omar! your nails are so longgggg

omar: yeah. cos i want to PAINT!!

haha. and he got what he wanted with a free packet of ciggarettes from azim. kerazee.

it's been more than a week since my last paper and i have been spending my money like there's no tomorrow. so, come tommorow which is in a few hours time, i will be earning my money @ a cafe in Changi for two weeks and then i'm back to my ad-hoc part-time job for a week. really looking forward to it and crossing my fingers that it goes smoothly. hopefully by then, i will get a 9-5 job together with minmin and sal and whoever i know, insya'Allah. mum&dad coming home soon and everything else is gooooooooood. so hopefully it stays the same. so, happy feet ppl and say shrek! haha. okayy fine fine.*toodles:)
