exaggeration and tall tales galore

i'm wearing a headband. one step at a time towards a beanie

dvd box sets. they're a pain, i tell you.

I went to Summit the other day for dinner, and my dad so kindly consented to my request to buy Grey's Anatomy Season 3 dvds. Aijud, now i can be up to speed with you,heh. i can cam the quotes you took from it! Because of the dvds and my obsession with Meredith Grey and the gang, i've been up two nights without sleeping. stupid dvds. addictive stuff.

today is an ugly day, because of the dvds. lack of sleep has me looking like a creature suffering from a hangover from hell(theoretically speaking, mind you). You know how there are some days where no matter how you comb your hair, or try to make yourself look presentable, you just end up looking like crap?yeah. it's an ugly day.

this is going to be long.

yesterday me and my cousin went to watch cheer 2007!i've always wanted to go see it. blame it on 'Bring it on'. so, i finally got the chance to see malaysian cheerleaders. that's one wish down. another similar wish is to go see the lion dance championships at Genting. but i'll save that for another time.

cheer was interesting. i'd definitely go again next year. the energy is amazing! as in, a huge crowd of girls and some guys screaming like crazy. the cheerleaders themselves was one thing, but their supporters were another. wild.

plus, after the thing was over, when me and Syefik were walking back to the car, we bought roti ais krim. 4 scoops of ice-cream in a hotdog bun, eaten while strolling through Bukit Jalil stadium. that in itself was enjoyable.

i had a very weird dream. i dreamnt i was pergnant. and while that may be inappropriate to blurt out to the world, here's the thing. i didn't get pregnant in a normal way, it was in vitro fertilization. funny, that.

Semashur moment. when i was school, i learnt that it's not fundamental to have a pot and a stove to make maggi. hot water, leave the maggi to stew a couple of minutes in a tupperware with the lid on, and voila. ever since i've finished school i've still been cooking my maggi that way. ntah, malas nak keluarkan a pot and wait until the water boils. but now i've re-learnt my lesson. no maggi can ever beat maggi cooked in a pot, with an egg cracked in, hands down.

i once heard rumors that the boys went and cooked lots and lotsa maggi in a baldi once, then ate it. is this for real? if it is, that's GROSS.

here's something i can hum 'it's a small world after all' to. the other day, i checked aijud's blog for any updates, then i clicked on the links on his blog(blog-surfing, my favourite mindless activity). which subsequently lead to clicking on the link of that person's blog, and bla bla, you get the picture. anyway, i came across the blog of this guy, and i was reading his latest post, when i saw my dad's name. i read the post again, it turns out he had bought my dad's old iMac from low yatt. i was extremely tickled, more so because he was more or less gently reprimanding Mr.Mokhtar Daud for not taking better care of the iMac, hee. Mr.Amerhadiazmi, if you ever see this, thanx for an interesting read. you don't have to refer to the iMac as Mr.Mokhtar Daud's iMac anymore, because it's yours :) and just for the record, my dad is neither the filmmaker or photographer. he's the dude from ExxonMobil, public affairs manager. go figure.

i really hope mom decides to buy goreng pisang for tea today. PLEASE.

i like doing personality tests. i think everyone does, actually. we all just love to read about and analyse ourselves. my favourite test so far is this one, the reason being that it's short, (just choose a picture) and is surprisingly quite accurate. not bad.

You know, if i had to be completely honest, i'd say i still feel disappointed
whenever i see any of my friends fly off to study elsewhere, or hear them talking about their plans of flying off elsewhere. i still feel angry when i have to explain to someone that i didn't get a scholarship and watch as they try to find a face to cover the awkward moment. when that happens, i get a little frantic inside and want to explain to them in a rush 'look, it's not that i didn't get it because i'm dumb and didn't get good results ke ape, it was just my rezeki'. but i don't say it, and just carry on and tell them what i'm studying and where. yeah, well. still got kinks to work out in this whole acceptance(otherwise known as ungratefulness) business. i'm getting there.

i want to go to tioman and go snorkeling. gemia island will do too. i want to hug koala bears. i want to browse through the record store. i want to go to ikea and eat the daim cake at their foodcourt. the soundtrack for Elizabethtown(the original scores by Nancy Wilson, not the songs by various artistes) is beautiful.

my cousin Syefik got a perfect 4.0 GPA for his exam. i'm so freaking proud of him, it's scary. feeling sort of maternal. however, i am also freaking jealous, it's scary too. feeling sort of homicidal.

3 movies, 3 favourite soundtrack scores.
1. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind-Theme by Jon Brion

2. Elizabethtown-60B(theme) by Nancy Wilson

3. Little Miss Sunshine-The Winner is by Mychael Danna and DeVotchka


we also got the second season for My Name is Earl. cam tak tido je minggu ni.

erm. i dont care if my mailbox is filled with Howlers from legions of maggi mee fans but i just have to say this, the hype is bugging me.

i dont like eggs in my maggi mee.

killjoy huh?

hey, without scholarship, u can get freedom in determining what way your education will go. say, if suddenly u thought that accountings are s stressfull and realise that music and drama promises more future
, whos going to stop you to switch???

or suddenly you want to take a year off travelling around the world or serving the Doulos ship, whos going to stop you? ( this is one of my granduer plans which was now left to wishful thinking)

or you want to work for a year so that you have that extra edge among all other accounting graduates, whos going to stop you?

scholarship=binded.

nothings too good to be true dear.

u get those A's (refer to post about finally finding ur niche' area in education fr inspiration), scholarship will knock on ur door.

LOL, for RM350, what does he expect? mechanical devices fail regardless whether you take care of them or not. it's just a matter of luck and time!

kakak:haha, coincedence gile kan?? i was bloody amused over the whole thing. and it wasn't just the banging by jijim, dad also once got a dvd stuck inside the slot, remember?mane tak rosak comp tu.

hey, i still remember that the iMac came installed with Sims Apartment, and u made me remove the elevators to see what would happen. you made me bankrupt! kesian all my tenants.

i just finished watching Season 3. ARGH!!!tension la tgk cerite cam tu. it's like a gazillion people die, and McDreamy doesn't look dreamy anymore. looks more like Mc-takcukuptido and Mc-takpotongrambut.

great things ah?i don't know bout that, but amin too :)

nani:u don't like eggs in ur maggi? ........... u weirdo. well, nah, not so weird. i like egg in my maggi, but only the egg white. i remove the egg yolk.

grazias for the kupasan of the advantages of my situation, my eyes are wide open now. and i remember reading about the Doulos ship during EST ke english ke ape back in form 5. it would be cool to serve time aboard it. grandeur plans.

aman:eh,how did u know the price? did u see it or what? yeah well, he was just poking fun a little bit at the previous owner. he didn't think that the previous owner's daughter would actually read about it :P
