This is bloody ridicolous

I have no idea why i put that as my title...
just musing myself i guess..
so, how was your weekend?
all good in the hood?

Talking about weekends...
Yesterday was such a brilliant day, i think i might cry with joy..
Worked the Early shift, then went off to the town with the 2 girls..
Went shopping, and i realize i have non of those shopaholic compulsive behaviour i once had..
and i realize that my taste has dramatically change..
and i have no desire what so ever for shoes! *gasp*
but boots on the other hand..
well..thats just love.. i have to get one tho, winter is fast approaching, and my winter clothes is either 5 yrs old and mouldy or its just lost, no where to be seen..
The girls meanwhile had a wail of a time spending their money..
we made a scene in a shop, trying out this ridiculous Halloween costume, but really, the shop owner actually loved it coz there was more customers in his shop :)
silver lining u see..

Dinner was fantastic, and since we had to head home, we asked the waitress to help us out with packing our chocolate fudge cake to take away :)
thanked her, and of course, left her with a pretty good tip.

It was hot.. i was fried..
Head home, watched Batman forever that was on telly..
Mum came home from the malaysian merdeka celebration..
and she bought all em lovely 'kuih' from the stalls!!! :)
wooohhhooooooo.. say goodbye to cravings...

all in all, such a good weekend with the weather being top notch.
it wont last...i know this for a fact..
as i type this, a storm is brewing..
when i look out of my window, all i can see is fog...

iam completely addicted to Taio cruz's She's like a star.
remix version...
and ive been having all this weird dreams.. was it something i ate?
Oh, and iam fascinated by the 11.11 theory..
okey, it was brought to my attention by my boss..
he told me that he often glance at the clock, and it was always a sense of deja-vu since its always 11.11
he googled it (like u do, when u cant explain something) and there was all this theory surrounding 11.11
Iam intrigued...Google it for yourself and let me know what u think..

oh and also..
Happy Ramadhan...
:)

have a banging weekend!

This is the Dalek...

With all the disappointments in life..
atleast i started this week with a bang..
it was the Hospitals Annual August bank Holiday Fete.
What happens on this day?
Well, the local hospital organize a fete in order to bring some money in..
so they sell stuff..
arts, clothes, books, food...
Local traders open up stalls and sell stuff cheaply..
i mean CHEAPLY.
i went to a stall, it was the local vintage shop.
got a MONSOON top for 50p! 5 freaking 0 cents!
and then got a cardigan for a pound!

but that wasnt it..
the highlight of the day wasssss...

well.. lemme tell u the story from the beginning..
we went around looking at things.. and spent most our time at the book stall.. i mean.. hardback for 50 pence! that was just.. heaven..
browsing and browsing.. and then i heard..
EXTERMINATE em books..
EXTERMINATE em books..
turned around and it was..
A DALEK!!!
DR WHO MORTAL ENEMY,
the DALEK!!!!!!!
propa hoovering around the fete!
DAAAAMM

I mean, i was anticipating the Doctor to pop up and say..
u aint gonna trouble em locals r u daleks?

yes yes, impossible.. but hey.. a dalek was in front on my eyes..
shit i sound like a freaking sci-fi geek!
what that hell.. prolly iam!
but that was the best fete EVER!

took out the camera for a picture.. and OF COURSE the camera ran out of battery..
this is common for me..
just ask any of my friends!

so.. this weekend..
mission : get a new damm camera! :)

have a good weekend ya'll

what doesnt kill you, only makes you stronger. I should be incredible hulk then...

'What goes around comes around'
Iam a believer of karma.. the examiner failed me on the stupidest ground ever.
i protested, it could take months for my appeal, what the point?
i would be able to re-take it earlier than that.
i wonder if god is telling me something.
How does she go on with her life? How can she sleep well at night?
To fail a student is one thing, but to intimidate me to the point that i just wanted to crash the car towards oncoming traffic?
I swear i thought she was Joker-ess.
But believe me.. if i she her on the street, i would go 'JOKER' on her in a split second.

Then i started having negative thoughts..
Was she bias?
Was i unknowingly discriminated?
I would never know.
but to accuse without evidence is just...not worth it.
after saying it tho, i saw the test centre passing grade..
only freaking 44% of the applicants pass annually.
now, that aint good..
oh, and i talked to the other girl that was taking a test, she failed..
13 MAJOR fault!
iam surprise the examiner didnt stop the exam
God knows mine tried...

I came back home, laughing.
because i really believe, if i didnt, i would be on my knees crying.
I never failed anything in my life (well, add maths was a whoolllleeee other thing)
And to be failing the basic of life skills is killing me.
and u know what?
IAM A FUCKING GOOD DRIVER!
ask my instructor, my mom, my bestie (eventho we went berserk for a second thinking the cops were chasing us :) )

and now, in my head
over and over again.. clearly written 'if first you dont succeed, dust yourself off and try again'
in my case its.. again and again and again and again..

i need music.
so.. the latest obsessions..


Biffy Clyro - Mountains


Bloc Party - Mercury


Bright Lights - Matchbox Twenty


Taio Cruz ft. LL Cool J - She's Like A Star ( Dj Joe Def Remix)


Keane - Spiralling (Radio Edit)
Trying to get a dl link for this song has been horrendous!

nitey nite everyone...

250th!

i would love to write something witty
i would love to write something funny
i would love to write something edgy, inspirational and motivational.

nah....
the weather is dreadful,
Olympic is over
and
driving test is less than 2 days away.

Hey, smile tho
Persuaded the bro to let me drive his Hilux, even if its illegally.
The joy of older brothers.
I have missed my family tremendously, especially my sis-in law.
She flew to the US the last week i was home, and i missed her the second i woke up the next day
U see, the thing is, i grew up with 3 older brothers.
Never had a sister, so, this was a huge thing for me.
I needed help in the clothes department, since the wardrobe has ever known jeans and t-shirt.
and i love the girly things we do like making desserts, and all the shopping trips we do.
I miss the family.
And i miss the 3rd brother too. i havent seen him for ages, and raya without him last year was just... incomplete..
never mind.
cheer up!

the cake recipe is in hand, the cookies and all packed up, and the 'raya' light is wrapped up ready to be put up!
OOOHHHH!
and the fasting month!
heaven!

the weekend is here? really?

holy macaroni!
the weekend is here?
where have i been this whole week?

the memory of this week is such a blur..
work, baking, Olympic, sleeping.
is that all?
i guess it was

so, bring on next week :)

oh oh oh, the Olympic is over tomorrow.
sad sad sad.. i quite like waking up in the morning knowing there will be some events where someone might crack/embarrass//cry over :)
its all good..

here's to a cracking weekend!!

Pray to the lord...

I just heart the most heartbreaking news today...
An aeroplane crashed in Madrid barajas airport today, killing atleast 40 people.
Well, they havent found out the definite number, since they're still tryin to get bodies out.

holy crap.
iam a frequent flyer.. i mean.. i dont fly everyday, but i fly quite a lot for a student.
U know u fly to often when u figured out which security line to avoid and which coffee shop to get ure flight snack (yes, i get snack before flying. esp for long journeys.. i mean, i cant get in-flight maltesers, Daily Mail, walkers crisp, and my absolute saviours, kit kat!)

back to the horrific stories.. not much info has been told, since the authorities are trying to figure out what/why/when it all happened.. they're still tryin to identify people.. all they know is.. there was 160 passengers and 6 cabin crew.
god bless them. its horrible, and i hope the best for everyone.
imagine the families!

talking about family, i missed my family abit to much today..
and i actually teared.
ah.. sappy crap all over again!

make a joke quick!

Real life insurance claim (taken from businessballs.com)

I had to swerve the car because the lamp post jumped rite out in front of me!

Going to work at 7am this morning I drove out of my drive straight into a bus. The bus was 5 minutes early

The accident happened because I had one eye on the lorry in front, one eye on the pedestrian and the other on the car behind.

I started to slow down but the traffic was more stationary than I thought.

I pulled into a lay-by with smoke coming from under the hood. I realized the car was on fire so took my dog and smothered it with a blanket.

Windscreen broken. Cause unknown. Probably Voodoo.

The car in front hit the pedestrian but he got up so I hit him again

I pulled away from the side of the road, glanced at my mother-in-law and headed over the embankment.

The other car collided with mine without giving warning of its intention.

I collided with a stationary truck coming the other way

A truck backed through my windshield into my wife's face

A pedestrian hit me and went under my car

In an attempt to kill a fly, I drove into a telephone pole.

Didnt it put a smile on ure face?

Nitey nite!

Ps: u wanna know how i found this online?
me, being an idiot, started to surf on tips on passing driving test. one thing lead to the other, and at the end, i was laughing at how stupid human are sometimes! Google it!

i miss em...

I miss their laughter, i miss our late nites, i miss planning our weekend a week in advance.. i miss out picnics.. i miss our chats.. i miss our analyzing session.. i miss planning for our holidays..

i miss them...
but as paivi said.. every Autumn, we get this feeling..
Me and paivi were in Spain this time last year..
and the year before.. well.. it was just parties every weekend..
Elastica! i will be in Poland again..
we will windsurf! :)
Paivi, i will milk the cow and drive the tractor..
i dont know when.. but one day i will...

and iam happy that i know more about Finland.. not just 'the country where nokia is based' and poland 'where they eat pickled onions, and nazi invasion'

thank you for showing me culture :)

oh!!!!! autumn just sucks!

iam thankful for friends like this...

this is a sappy entry..
i would like to thank all my friends who have been supportive!
the first person who i had to tell about my resignation was miss paivi.
For it was her who gave me the inspiration..
u dont have to earn loads of money and miserable..
u can earn just enuff, and enjoy ure life..
and i think this is what iam doing..

it was weird that some of my friends were surprised i made this 'sudden' decision..
it wasnt sudden.. ive thought of chucking my job away long time ago...
but i always felt that i should just stick it out till iam done with my degree
i cant.. as i said before.. if u find ureself cursing just before stepping into your office, its time to let go..

some said iam the sensible one.. some said 'hey! good for u'.. some said.. 'hey! why?'.. some said.. 'ok.. as long as ure happy...'
so.. i might be stacking shelves for the next 5 months while iam in uni..
but hey..
iam good at stacking shelves..

Life changing stuff...

Today, around 6.45 am in the morning.. i made a life changing decision
i was working, something probably triggered it.. but i just thought..
i cant do this anymore..
i dread going to work..
and i always said to myself.. whenever i find myself dreading/hating/resenting going to work, i would analyze and change the situation.
talk to the boss, eventho he is banking on me changing my mind..
but if i dont do it now, i will probably never do it..

few hours later.. i was listening to radio..
UK is in a state of frenzy at the moment because the A-levels result is out..
so there was this chix who called the radio station who told the dj,
she got good result a couple of years ago.. went to uni.. drop out on her 3rd year of medic..
went on to brake off with her fiancee, and just.. life was pretty murky..
then this song came out on the radio..
and she said..
'i felt better'

i listened to the song..
and now..
iam feeling better..
iam smilling..
so.. if first i dont succeed, dust myself off and try again :)
yes, try again.


Maximo Park - Apply Some Pressure

'what happens when u lose everything?
u start again, u start all over again'

Iam beggin' you..

okey!
i promise.. this is the last video for.. hmmm.. the day?
this tune was in my head for a week before i found out the title and the artist!
its sooooo funky, u WILL be able to do the funky chicken dance..


Madcon-Beggin'

So, my day off is tomorrow..
and the order of the day is to sleep, olympics, sleep, lazing, laundry, sleep, olympic!
thats it.. that is all im'ma do..
oh.. and a spot of shopping :)

iam loving my purse!
cheap bargain from accessorize!


ps: is tellytubbies still on the telly?

She's like a star!

now.. the first time i heard this song..
i wouldnt in a million years guessed it was Taio Cruz.
then i heard the vocal..
welll.. sounds like him..
and when i saw the vid! i was!
wooaaahhh!
it was Taio...

caution: u WILL be humming this the next day! and there is this 'crazy frog' like voice as background.. u WILL be annoyed by it.. but u cant help but fall in love with the song


Taio Cruz-She's like a Star

i have this sickly feeling...

so..iam free styling today..
errrmmm.. yeah..
what i actually want to say is.. iam just going to randomly babble and blog unnecessary things!

first up, i love how people react when i answer their question of
'so, where r u from?'
i will tell them malaysia.. and the next predictable thing is...
'ohhh.. kuala lumpur.. lovely! why did u leave the sunny country for England?'
i said...
'because i love the rain' :)
and it is true...i do love the rain!
and it rains every bloody day!

and TEA!!
nothing beats a good English tea
okey okey.. u guys r shouting
oy oy oy, what about teh tarik?
well.. i do miss it.. but.. hmm.. the sweetness of it kills me sometimes...

I think we all should keep politics out of the Olympic..
how would the British government like it when protesters march around protesting about the Iraq war when Olympic 2012 is going on?
Yes, the Chinese government are evil.. but they have been brilliant in my eyes this year.
the earthquake hit them earlier this year and they swoop to action as soon as possible.. lets not forget how 'efficient' America was when hurricane Katrina happens..
but we kinda forget that dont we?
i should keep quiet now.. i might be a prisoner of politics!
The Olympic opening was brilliant, but i was kinda disappointed with the lighting of the torch..
i mean.. yeah, it was a hell of a job 'running on air around the stadium'
but i was dead hook on the idea of a dragon coming out and firing the Olympic torch!
i can see some of u guys agreeing with me!

iam obsessed with Saddam Hussein family all of a sudden..
this bout of obsession started 2 weeks ago when a drama was shown on telly..
its basically a 4 part drama on the Saddam Hussein family..
all the gloss of their lives were shown, and iam just waiting for the last 2 part on how it all gone wrong!
i didnt know this until i read wikipedia that Qusay's son was with him when the american troops were shooting their hideout...
a mere 14 year old guy going thru all that!
crazy!

oh oh! i just got HELLO magazine on my hand!
this should be brilliant!!!!
a whole 138 pages of celebrities life!
*yawn*
the ONLY reason iam reading this is because iam bored out of my skull
and no, i didnt spend my own money on it
its a hand me down magazine..
Iam starting to believe that i was Mr Monk in my previous life..

and i believe that iam s good friend..
toooo good of a friend sometimes..
well, we will see heh?

Musical Friday!!! Its only bloomin friday!!!

yes, iam cheating!!!
iam posting billions and billions of videos so u will never notice how bad of a blogger iam!!
but these are the songs iam currently listening to!!!
and reminiscing to!


The Script -The Man that can't be Moved, - Live In Dublin

I meant to post their first single months months months ago.. but hey..

The Script - We Cry Live in Dublin

Embedding was disabled by guest for some weiiirrddd reason!

neways.. lets soldier on!


I Kissed A Girl- Kate Perry
Lets face it.. EVERYBODY is singing this!!!


Noah and the Whale - (Live Glastonbury 2008) - Five Years Time
Proves that telly advertisement is sucha marketing tool for a band!!!


Ida Maria - I Like You So Much Better When You're Naked



Rihanna - Disturbia



Coldplay - Viva La Vida

I used to rule the world
Seas would rise when I gave the word
Now in the morning I sleep alone
Sweep the streets I used to own

I used to roll the dice
Feel the fear in my enemies eyes
Listen as the crowd would sing:
"Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!"

One minute I held the key
Next the walls were closed on me
And I discovered that my castles stand
Upon pillars of salt, and pillars of sand

I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field
For some reason I can not explain
Once you know there was never, never an honest word
That was when I ruled the world
(Ohhh)

It was the wicked and wild wind
Blew down the doors to let me in.
Shattered windows and the sound of drums
People could not believe what I'd become
Revolutionaries Wait
For my head on a silver plate
Just a puppet on a lonely string
Oh who would ever want to be king?

I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field
For some reason I can not explain
I know Saint Peter won't call my name
Never an honest word
And that was when I ruled the world
(Ohhhhh Ohhh Ohhh)

Hear Jerusalem bells are ringings
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field
For some reason I can not explain
I know Saint Peter will call my name
Never an honest word
But that was when I ruled the world
Oooooh Oooooh Oooooh

iam ending this post with Coldplay because i think this shall be the iconic song for 2008.
The lyrics, for me, is powerful.
that's just it with them isnt it?
its em violins and lyrics that gets to us!

oh, maybe its just me!

have a good weekend tho guys!

I cant wait, for the weekend to begin

well.. bless u readers for actually putting up with my whining..
so good news, i finally have something positive to cheer on!
well.. yes.. a bit of a bad news first..well.. u cant have everything..

so ive been ranting and raving about my practical test havent i?
well, it was suppose to be for last Tuesday..
BUT (yes, there's always a but isnt it?)
I got a call from DVLA (Driving agency) to say that my test has been cancelled!!!
imagine my anger.. its like.. its freaking one daaayyyyyy beforeeee!!!!
its like.. i went absolutely berserk the day before chomping my nails!!!
and all for nothing!

nevermind..
iam tough..
iam patient.. they said they will call me back in 15days to give me a new date..
so..imagine.. 15 days waiting for a call.. not even knowing when the test!!!!!
its ok..
iam patient!
iam tough

HERE is the happy news..
i got a letter from the agency yesterday and they gave me a new date!
26th of august!!!!
so.. about 18 more days!!! :)
yaaayyyy!!!
good luck to me!

On a completely different note..
i would like to rant and rave about the weather! (like duh)
Such a lovely weather yesterday, abit too hot but lovely!
so i did something quintessentially English yesterday..
i went off to have evening tea with scones and cake..
it was a lovely place.. we sat outside, and it overlooked the most gorgeous sight ever!!!
there was mountains and trees and forest!!!!!
and i could see it aaalll!!
i wanted to capture the gorgeous tea cakes, and lovely tea..
them *poof*
camera out of battery!!!

nevermind..
next time...

'I have brought you up for 22 years....'

I having that disgusting cold sore thing on my gum that makes u go abit stir-crazy
so.. after rubbing salt to it (yes, say arrrgggghhhh!) for about 2 days and realizing that it doesnt work.. i asked me mum to get me bonjela..
ahhhhh.. bonjela.. that's childhood innit?
Iam sure most of u remember those clear gel thingy.. rub those on ure gum, u'll be hit by the cooooollll sensation!
so, got back from work to find bonjela in the living room.
Mum is sleeping, iam watching the telly..
then i realize.. the bonjela box..

'FOR TEETHING problems'
COMPLETE with a picture of a happy baby. ( i assume the baby is happy because his mum applied bonjela on his gum, when he is teething)

so in the morning i said...
did u realize u bought me teething solving bonjela?
mum: yes..
me: its not going to work la..i mean.. thats for babies.. its not powerful stuff.. i need some anti-bacterial stuff rite? coz of the cold sore..
mum: can use also.. its the same...
me: r u sure.. it was sooo goddam painful when i applied it..
mum: i have brought u up without poisoning u for 22 years...and NOW ure questioning me?

actually..
mum knows best...

do you realize how many times in our adult lives we question our parents?
my mum ultimate favourite quote is 'do u think i was born yesterday?'
and i realize.. once adulthood looms.. we assume that WE know best.
what we say is the right way, and they are just this ancient living being..
that is why i tell everything to my family.. since iam the smallest.. and they have been there and done that.
i never lied to them. it doesnt matter where i go, what i do.. they always know..
even the naughty illegal driving thing..

I have friends who tend to lie to their parents about their activities.. i dont condone it.. but i understand..
u see..
i have the coolest family in the whole wide world.
no really, i do.
ask my friends
unfortunately to them, going to the shops means risking being grounded for a year.
so, telling the truth is not worth it i guess..
but i suspect.. their parents know what their child is up to.
i mean.. its in their 'parents instinct' guide book.

and yes, before u ask, i have never been grounded i dont know how it feels.
and i hope i never have to...

i feel happy...

I sometimes wonder if i make an impact on peoples life.
today, a couple of messages came, and most of em said that they missed me.
its nice to be missed, it makes u realize that people do think of u..
and when people think of you, you know u made an impact..
does this make sense?

I have a bit of a shocking news.
Today, i purchased a flight ticket.
where to?
Malaysia.
yes, iam going back for the 3rd time this year.
i think i miss the rendang during Eid.
I am officially broke.
I am positive tho :)
rendang during Eid is THE best thing in the world! :)

so, highschool friends, please, contact me.. a 'buka puasa' gathering is in order!

Facebook is being a bitch, so iam not able to post pictures up..
iam slowly doing it tho..
sad thing is.. facebook doesnt excite me anymore..
ic ant be bloody bothered adding the applications and approving it.. and sending request!
but, people seem to revolve around facebook these days..

today, i have witness a jerk in the making..
one of those.. 'i know it all' kinda boy.. he is gonna grow up to be a bastard..
u just wait and see
give him 5 years and he is gonna be an arrogant ASS!

okey, its waaaayyy to late at nite to be typing..
i have lost my will to construct proper sentence!
iam missing the family! HELP!

you know ure getting older when..

I am invited to a party tomorrow..
but i dont feel like going..
am i getting old?

i think so..

*sigh*

bring on the reading glasses...


ps: obsession is not healthy.
pps: I am totally craving for scones with fresh cream!! blaaaaah! and its f**king HOT here!
