groupie me

i'm in the midst of finishing up my assignments.
and as it's usually is, i take more breaks than i do work.
i can't help it. i'm just plain lazy.

anyway, i was digging through my treasure box o'memories when i found this:



there was an o'level exam the next day, but i can't remember for which subject. must be something unimportant (?!) or i wouldn't have paid $50 and be at holiday inn parkview just to 'meet and greet' the duo.
by the way, i only managed to take a pic with this half of the duo cos their management insisted on one photo per person.
so much for paying $50 (but the food was good)!
and of cos my mom didn't know.
and no, i didn't go alone. i had lydia and sharon with me.
and it was very last minute. we only decided on going during the last half hour of school, grabbed a cab and went.
we even thought of staying on for their performance at fire (!) that evening.
but i couldn't think of an excuse to tell my mom hahaha.

oh yes, whoever recognises who that is, gets a mcshake on me, the next time we meet. heh.

it ain't right

I reached school with tears in my eyes yesterday morning.
I wanted to stop and just bawl my eyes out.
You would to, if you saw what i saw.

i saw a dog (a jack russell terrier) in the middle of the aye and it was trying to cross the expressway!
my heart stopped and i froze.
my first instinct was to stop the car.
if traffic wasn't heavy i would have, and get out and grab him and hug him and tell him that everything's ok.
but it's the morning traffic, bumper to bumper at maximum speed.
the poor thing.
i have no idea how it ended up at the road divider.
i hope it's because he ran away and somehow managed to cross half of the expressway and not because some selfish prick decided to do away with him and just dump him there.

then i started crying.
because i was helpless and didn't do anything to help him.
and i started imagining bad things that could happen to him.

sigh.

i hope he's okay.

immunity community

i'm down with fever (again!).
this is like the 4th? 5th? time this year.
what's wrong with me?
am i not eating right? the last time i checked, i ate everything in sight. so that's definitely not a problem.
the last time i had a fever a month back, my temperature went up to 39.6 degs.
my body was burning, but i felt chilly. i'd get irritable by every little noise and every little noise seemed really loud. and i kinda freaked myself out by thinking i had dengue (which i didn't, of cos).
this time, it's the same kind of fever feeling only it's accompanied by nausea and diarrhea.
was it something i ate?

anyway, i hate popping pills cos i think all these extra chemicals ingested are just not good for the body in the long run.
besides, i can't swallow pills. the oesophagus never opens wide enough to swallow them and i end up either throwing up or choking myself. not a pretty sight and sound.

i wanna take a day (or maybe two) off from school, but i'm too lazy to go see the doc.
no, wait, correction.
i'm too sick to leave the house and see the doc.
meanwhile, lemme just have fluids, fluids and more fluids.

take me back

I heard my first lagu raya for this year just now.
And it brought me back, way back to the summer of 2002 in Brisbane.
It was my second year celebrating raya away from home.

In 2001, I was all alone accompanied only by a singpost postpac filled with kuehs and serunding from my mom and 42-degree heat.
I had nobody to raya with but I didn't feel sayu or emotional at all.

2002 was different.
I had Naz, Sheda, Syida and of course, Ayu to raya with.
(okay, okay and Knap and Khai and Anisah & Brothers and many others)
It was a raya of many firsts.
Naz had downloaded lotsa lagu rayas (she was download queen that summer) and she played them first thing in the morning and all through the night, over and over again.
Some songs were just so sayu, and for the first time, I finally realised what it felt like to be away from family in somebody else's country.
It was also the first time really staying awake overnight making kuehs. It was kinda tiring but it was super wuper fun!
I actually went for one terawikh prayer (we wanted to go the next night too, but we found out it was already the last day of Ramadhan. so we were glad that we attended that last night to terawikh).
Choking back my tears as I minta ampun over the telephone wires raya morning(this I didn't do the year before tsk tsk).
Having an open house! A full open house at that, albeit some technical glitches, which left the place kinda dark haha! Yeah, an open house all by ourselves. Not bad..not bad at all.

I'll never forget raya of 2002.
I'm grateful for my beautiful friends who made it memorable.
I'll never forget each of your perangais during that period of time.
The video has proof of the different perangais.
heehee
But, I don't have a copy of the video. May I know who does?

Anyway, the song that I heard today was Cahaya Aidilfitri.

har har har

A huge muscular man walks into a bar and orders a beer. The bartender hands him the beer and says, "You know, I'm not gay but I want to compliment you on your physique, it really is phenomenal! I have a question though, why is your head so small?"
The big guy nods slowly. He's obviously fielded this question many times.
"One day," he begins, "I was hunting when I got lost in the woods. I heard someone crying for help and finally realized that it was coming from a frog sitting next to a stream."
So I picked up the frog and it said, "Kiss me. Kiss me and I will turn into a genie and grant you 3 wishes."
So I looked around to make sure I was alone and gave the frog a kiss. POOF! The frog turned into a beautiful, voluptuous, naked woman.
She said, "You now have 3 wishes."
I looked down at my scrawny 115 pound body and said, "I want a body like Arnold Schwarzenegger."
She nodded, whispered a spell, and POOF! there I was, so huge that I ripped out of my clothes and was standing there naked!
She then asked, "What will be your second wish?"
I looked hungrily at her beautiful body and replied, "I want to make sensuous love with you here by this stream." She nodded, laid down, and beckoned to me. "We then made love for hours!"
Later, as we lay there next to each other, sweating from our glorious lovemaking, she whispered into my ear, "You know, you do have one more wish. What will it be?"
I looked at her and replied, "How about a little head?"

heady affair

i'm having the biggest throbbing headache ever!

i hope it's just a headache and nothing more, cos it feels like build-up pressure just above my right jaw.
no, wait.
it's actually the whole right side of my head.
it throbs really badly when i shift my head, either to the left, right or down.
please tell me it's just a migraine.

crap.
so many things to do, so little time.
it doesn't help when group members are always too busy to meet up.
just because i saved the whole group by coming up with a proposal (15%) last minute all by myself doesn't mean i'll be the saviour again by doing the whole assignment okay.
if you guys have no time for meetings, i definitely do not have the time to do your job.
presentation's this wednesday and nothing's been done.
sure, i can do it myself.
it's not like i can't do the whole assignment and the presentation myself.
if i do, marks are solely mine.
i'm not giving away sympathy marks just cos you've got no time.

this is worse than doing a science degree!!!
argh!

hair today gone in 24 hours

was washing my hands at one of the washrooms over at bugis when i heard a really loud and persistent 'PSSSSSSSST!!!!!'. i looked over to my right and took a second take.
it was veronica!! and she was waving frantically and 'psst'-ing at the same time. haha.
y'know archie's veronica? this one looks exactly like the comic character.
the only difference is that this veronica has sinced coloured her hair and looked paler. was kinda excited to see her again after about almost a year.
anyway, i mentioned her hair and she went on to tell me that she's been losing hair. she lost so much hair that she got very worried and went to see the doctor.
i had to ask her how much hair she was losing, because i do experience hair loss when my hair is of a certain length.
she told me that she started panicking when she realised there was too much hair left in her palms when she shampoos.
scary mary!
and the doc told her that it's due to diet, stress, blabla. the normal culprits.
i've got thick hair, and i'm always thinning it when i go have my hair trimmed. but it gets worrying when you've got friends who're already losing their hair.
i read somewhere that women will usually don't lose that much hair (like a guy) cos of the presence of some female hormones.
so i've been counting on my hormones to not let me down. heh.
of course i'll eat properly and exercise and not have too much stress.
it's just scary.

fix-ed

am currently staying here for the weekend.
the room is amazing.
it's actually a loft with a huge bathroom. i swear the bathroom is bigger than my room back home.
i mean i've stayed in villa bungalows before, but i've never, ever stayed in a loft!
and it overlooks the golf course.
nice.
and we get to see airplanes taking off and landing (since we're just next to the airport).
nicer.
of course, i've been pigging out. buffet this and buffet that.
yeeeaaaaah!!
ok ok, i've got one month to detox come monday (is it monday or tuesday or wednesday?).

anyway, last night, i stayed up late to watch abit of tv, and guess what?
8tv actually has Queer Eye for the Straight Guy! *sidetrack - Hi Jai!!*
i so miss the show so much!
oh man, if m'sia can actually show really good shows like that, why can't we? i mean it's not even on cable for goodness' sake.
oh!! then after the show ended, was about to sleep when i switched to ntv7 and ...
they were showing The Late Show can!

idiots ... why are the people at mediacorp idiots?
are these shows too expensive?
too risque?
what?
idiots!
**kay, if i actually find out that mediacorp is actually showing these shows, and i'm only making a complete ass of myself, then i'll stop calling them idiots**

it's just too bad that the tv reception at home isn't that good. hmph!
at least i still get to watch Saturday Night Live on cable.

kay back to happy thoughts - what's for dinner?
heehee
