finally! a post from icham!!

assalamualaikum semua!!

batah udah inda memblog anie, sampai lupa password segala ani bah.. huhuhu

i really shouldn't be blogging so late at night like this.. i actually have a 10 o clock lecture on 'law for accountants' which is a real snoozefest.. ugh.. and i could do with some proper rest.. tapi palak2 masih mata anie na mau tidur.. macam2 saja kraja ku malam anie.. when i really ought to be sorting my school work out, i'm doing other silly things instead but for the benefit of your reading pleasure, thy art blogging :oD

seronok yea?

anyhoo.. tonight has been pretty much uneventful compared to the past few days which i assure u has been full of adventures and all..

like meez said, my phone ilang and kana curi.. kurang sopan itu orang!! sasak ku...
i texted my number yang kana curi right saying 'whoever has this phone, can you please hand over to the Student Advice Centre of the Boswirth house? God bless You" [that god bless you bit was said in an effeort to scare that person off lah tu; which of course DID NOT WORK!, read on..] and the person actually had the audacity to text back: "hi, u shud have taken better care of your phone, finders keepers, losers sweepers, thanks for the credit by the way"

kurang ajar.. sasak jua ku tue!! and just before i texted, si mas and si yus kana telipon, CONSECUTIVELY, oleh pompuan yang kana withheld numbor nya saying, "u wanna meet up? i'm eighteen, i saw u at a store blahdiblahdiblah..." cematu lah, the boys just tutup.. skali mas was like, "barangkali its the person who stole your phone!!"

and i was like "awu ahhhh!!" yatah ku text atu..

then i called the number up and this is a summary of what was said

icham : who is this?
on the other line : who is this?
i : who is this? you have my phone!
o : no i dont this is my phone!
i : thats my phone! i'm calling my own phone number! u stole my phone!!
o : well i'm not gonna give it back!
[at this point i was already fuming angry! sehingga i couldnt think of what to say!!]
i : would u be so kind enough to give it back?
o : oh, i'm not that kind...
i : I NEVER SAID YOU WERE! i'm just asking you to be nice

pokoknya that was the essence of the conversation sama orang yang sungguh kurang ajar dan sopan itu and she cut me off..

tangah ku marah2, si yus sama si mas had to calm me down with several repetitions of the "lailahailla anta subhanaka inni kuntum minazzalimin"

it calmed me a bit

but straight after that, i called the o2 stolen phones hotline and got the phone barred..

i still dint feel calm then..

the thing is you see.. i'm not so much as concerned with the sim card/number.. but the phone, no mater how buruk and pacah it was, it had sentimental value in it..

iman punya baby picures and videos were in it, and gambar2 yang banyak kenangan, and video meez as a cuban delegate and elush's ode to ***** [hehe], pokoknya banyak lah.. and i lost it..

i just hope karma will work its way thru with that person! what goes around, comes around.. hopefully in twofold!! ishk sasak kue.. like meez said, ada udang di sebalik batu maybe??

i told meez and elush this just now on the phone and the harshest possible comeback elush could make was...

"BURUK TU SIKU NYA!"

hahahaha funny lah elush anie.. hahaha we ended up laughing ourselves up with her comment.. hahhaa i hope elush doen't mind me posting this.. thanks for the good laugh lush!! i so miss you!

and in the light of what meez blogged, it wasnt that phone, instead, it was that phone only in a light powder pink colour.. ehehe its so cute, i really could NOT resist.. hehehe and it also came with a little pink pouch and really pretty charms that had the design on the phone itself.. in love with it. hehe

but dont worry meez, i do not wish to kick your ass for getting is WRONG! haha nada deh.. mun ganya atu.. i still love you!! hehe

p.s i must apologise for the constant procrastination.. hehehe i keep on saying 'i'll blog later' but only end up blogging after months!! hehe sorry meez, viewers have to count on you to keep this blog up.. but dont you worry viewers, meez has so many things on her mind and she will without doubt entertain you all even more so that i could ever possibl do.. huhu

ok my dolings, until next time, peace out,

An Echam Update

Hey everyone,

I know it says "an echam update" but this is meez and i'll be updating you guys on what's been happening with our lovely echam since she couldnt be bothered to blog.

So, if anyone's trying to get a hold of her on her phone, just to let you guys know...a terrible tragedy has happened (Drama much?) Haha. Anyways...echam has misplaced (a better way of saying lost) her phone so she most probably lost all u guys' punya numbers. But not to worry, she has gone and got herself a new phone and a new number so be kind and give her a shout out of your phone numbers when shes around ok?

The phone she got is uber cool and eventho its not the latest in the nokia collection, its definitely funky and Schweeeet looking and fits with her personality. The picture below is the phone she got...if im not mistaken. Cham..if i get this wrong...feel free to edit this post and proceed in smacking me in the bum. Hahaha. Its the nokia 7370 from the L'amour Collection.



I think it was time for her to get a new phone jua bah. As they say... ada udang disebalik batu. Baik jua teliponmu kana curi coz kalau inda, u wouldn't have gotten this phone which is kick ass and NEW. Should've seen her old nokia..its been though a lot over the past 3 years. It was definitely a trooper that fone. It will sadly be missed... LoL.

Hope that shed some light on what echam is up to at the moment. Hehe. Thats it for now from Meez.

Ciao Bella.

P.S. Cham...howd u like the post? Hehe. Love u toots.

Out of sorts

Assalamualaikum y'all,

Got up in a funk today. Feel so unproductive and useless this whole entire day. Sometimes having the internet and speedy internet connection is not all thats cracked up to be...especially when you have exams to study for...urghhs.

I think i may have gotten up on the wrong side of the bed coz i feel so lost this whole entire time. Yesterday i was fine and dandy...but today, something just switched off. And i don't know what made it switch off and what exactly was switched off. It might be the fact that i sleep at around 4 in the morning and wake up at noon, so basically i wasted half the day away. Maybe thats getting to me...the guilt. *shrugs* Entah lah labu...

Hopefully i'll get over this funk before my exams. Oh yeah, i have exams next wk, on Monday on Musics of the World. Currently revising up on North Indian music and will be moving onto Brazilian samba and...african music. Wish me luck. Hope i can ace this one. Amiin.

Catch up with u guys later.

Gudnyte...Ciao bellas....Meez

Emo Lingo

Heya people,

Told you i would follow up on what exactly EMO means. This term has been in circulation for a long time now and most people don't have a clear idea what it is. Even me. They listen to a particular kinda of music like My Chemical Romance, Bullet for My Valentine, Panic! At the Disco and Fall out Boy (though this is just mostly based on assumptions). I listen to these kinds of music but i dont think im an emo.

ANyways, found a picture of what a stereotypical EMO kid wud look like. And i got one definition for what EMO means from www.urbandictionary.com. So check it out for urselves.

EMO:
One who rejects "pop culture" and joins the counter-culture realm. Usually has ideas contrary to popular opinion and seeks to gain a better understanding of life through artistic venues. May appear depressed, have black or red hair, and dress in a way that is contrary to what is popular. Thrift stores, art, coffee shops, underground music, and poetry are usually of great interest. Contrary to popular opinion, though an emo kid may seem depressed, within their own group there is an element of deep understanding and friendship. Emo kids see the world as beautiful, but its inhabitants as lost and depressing.

So thats it on emo okay? Open and shut case? I zink zo. Lets stop this madness and save us the headache. =)

What's the deal with alcohol?

Hey y'all, this is gna be a heavy topic so just please bear with me okay?

I just went down to my kitchen just now to wash my dishes and i saw 4 bottles of alcohol lying around, 3 unopened and another which was opened and obviously empty. And there were also like grl's stuff around..like purses and hair straighteners and everything. Just thought it was strange since my girl hallmates don't drink and why would their stuff be at the common room?

I was in the middle of doing my dishes when my guy hallmate came down with his friends. This guy i dont really like that much. He has that emo vibe going..not that i dont hav a thing against emos, its just that hm in particular just rubs me the wrong way. He hardly speaks to me unless spoken to, but when james (my other hallmate) is around, he talks like there's no tomoro. What is the deal? Walaupun usulku bukan mcm urg putih..pandai kali ku beckp englis kali ahh...better than u kali.

Before we get on the subject of alcohol, let me just give you my definition of what an EMO is.

EMO. A contracted version of EMOTIVE which is often associated to youth subcultures who are into emo music and the notion that nothing and noone gives a shit abt them also known as "tortured soul syndrome". Dress code:Skinny jeans for both guys and girls, hoodies,sneakers, heavy eye makeup and long fringe/bangs in the face kind of thing. Preferred genre of music: Emo music.

I promise to put up a stereotypical image of what an emo is supposed to look like, just have to go find it. And the definition above may or may not apply, but dont take my word for it, go out and observe.

But yeah..getting back on topic, what the hell is up with alcohol and these urg putihs?? It's like they can't function without alcohol...especially when it comes to having a great time. I just don't get how their whole lives are centred around alcohol. Take my hallmate for example, there were 4 bottles of alcohol okay? Mcm...drg 3 urg...i thought to myself...oh no...somebody is really gna get smashed tonight. I mean, i know because of my faith and religion i tend to be super biased abt alcohol but knowing what i know abt it, like in excess it can damage ur liver and make you lose all inhibitions which may or may not cause harm to yourself, alcohol can be bad for you.

If i wasnt brought up in this faith pun i couldn't see myself being that dependent on alcohol. I mean i can imagine myself accompanying my meals with wine and stuff but never binge drinking. I guess its the whole culture thing...they've been around this substance from the day they can walk probably, so maybe they see it as a normal progression into adult life. Well i just think that its stupid...especially when they abuse it.

Why am i acting so crazy abt this? Maybe this tension i have for my hallmate is just bubbling over...i just dont like him that much. Hahaha. Atu baru brutal honesty. Inda apa, just a few more months and i wont have to see his face ever again.

Told u this was gonne be a bit heavy. Ah well. And as i am typing this, i can hear the effects of alcohol taking over already..the craziness has set in. Woohooo...go alcohol....NOT!

Stay away from alcohol..(esp if u're muslim).if you're not please don't abuse it.

Ciao bellas.

Fickle English Weather

Ola gorgeous people,

Its a beautiful morning...well..afternoon...since i just woke up a few hrs ago. Buruk banar. Ah well, exams exhausted me, so i deseved those few hrs in bed. I had my 2nd exam yesterday, Historical Approaches to Popular Music and it went better than i had hoped seeing that it was, in my opinion, one of the tougher modules. I managed to write a lot on this paper and im just hoping that its enough for me to score good marks.

ANyways here are some picture of the day before the exams. Somehow it reflected how i was feeling at that time.


This was when it tarus2 rained...symbolised how i was so not ready for exams.


The rain is slightly lighting up...feeling much better about going thru the exams.


The sun is starting to shine through again...feeling a LOT better abt exams.


Order is restored...beautiful day...its a sign...i can do these exams! Bring it.


This goes to show u how exams, like the weather is so FICKLE. One minute u're all down and depressed abt it, another minute u're fine about it and theres that one perfect moment where u think that you'll be alright...that u can do anything and beat these exam blues. I'm going through the same exact motions and hopefully i come out as the big kahuna in the end. AMiin.

Just because

Hellooo beautiful people,

Just because it's such a quiet and peaceful night i decided to blog. I'm quite surprised that it is this quiet here at my halls because it never happens because some of the people here are pretty crazy tapi good crazy. You know, the first thing i saw when i looked out the window this morning was this huge ORANGE traffic cone outside someone's window. Either it was a gift or somebody got super super drunk. Hahaha.

I'm so loving how quiet it is.There's not even rain and howling wind to spoil the happy picture of silence. Bisai..wish every time ada kraja it was this quiet...makes concentration a definite possibility. Oh yeah, i just wanted to say that i got off from skyping with echam. She and i have discovered the wonders of skyping which is cool. Kdg2 we'll just be silent and do our own thing but the fact that we know that we're on opposite ends of the phone(?) is comforting. She's fine by the way, in case you guys have become uber bored with me posting saja. She has exams this friday so shes studying really hard..so people please wish her luck when u get the chance.

Other than that...she'll be going to London next weekend to catch 'Wicked', a musical about the witches of Oz's side of the story. I've heard that its based on the book..so definitely have to get the book. Cheaper entertainment. Haha. But i bet the musical will be one to remember.

We even talked about where to live next year..or rather the end of this year. She's been house hunting udah and from the sounds of it the house seems really homey and huge..with a basement and 3 floors kali. I'm also gonna start house hunting after exams are done. Theres 2 possibilities...either i live in halls tapi dgn sue and the rest of the bruneians or.. we look for a house with 4/5 rooms and living room. I feel that i really2 want a house because i like the idea of coming home to people and conversing. Kalau in halls, u can be very anti-social when u want to..bekurung saja dibilik and avoid people. Tapi yes..i do like the idea of a shared living room where everyone can hang. So..gonna wait till february to go look at houses. I need to make a list.

Oh, in case you guys don't know. I like to make lists. Not just lists for important stuff, i even write daily "what to do's"..well not EVERYday..im not that pathetic. But yes i definitely like lists. The longer it is the more i can cross out. Haha.

Thats it for now..gonna go fit in a session with Wentworth *wiggles eyebrows*

Stay healthy people..drop the Krispy Kremes!

Like a house of cards...it will all come crashing down

Hey people,

Exams officially started for me. Finished about 3 hrs ago at 12 and the relief was immense. The paper was not as bad as i would've thought but i wasn't fully satisfied with it. The questions weren't too hard but they weren't exactly easy either so i don't want to be too confident on my performance so i'll just leave it at..."It was OK".

The moment i got home i ripped down the post-it paper of today's exam and promptly crumpled it and put it in the bin. I can't wait until i rip all of them down! Because right now there's 3 post-it notes which seem to mock me from where they are. Reminding me of the other exams i've yet to sit for. Well...like a house of cards...it will all come down eventually. Mwahahaha. Can't wait for that day. I'm seriously thinking of making a huge event out of it. Invite friends over and see me rip them down. All of them! Mwahahahahaaha.

Now i have to revise for another exam for this week. Wish me more luck on that one.

P.S. 2-week hiatus my ass...lakat jua blogging nie. Like you and me...i just couldn't stay away... =S

Until later,

Be pure of thought and of mind and of soul and of heart and of segala2nya. Kay...rambling has set in. Better go.

It's Now or Never

Nine hours and 30 minutes to my first ever Uni exam. I keep stressing over the fact that its my first batch of uni exams..my FIRST!!. Why do i keep thinking its so special? Coz exams suck and therefore don't deserve a space for specialness, so there.

But yet...if i do kick ass on this paper...then it will deserve its place of specialness..i will place it high on a pedestal for years to come and be glad that i've overcome it. Oh how i wish this will definitely2 come true. Amiin.

9 hrs and 25 mins to go..its now or never. Wish me luck!!

Ciao bellas

Updates updates updates

Heya cham,lush and everyone else.

This post is just an update of what's been happening because i'll probably be on a 2 wk hiatus due to exams. Exams...uurrghhh.. mudahan tah sanang. Amiiin.

So here goes:-

(1) My first exam is in less than 24hrs for Music, Cinema and Broadcasting at 10-12 pm.

(2) Finished season 2 of Prison Break and anxiously awaiting the season continuation come Jan 22/29.

(3) For the first time in 4 months, my cupboard is fully stocked with food.

(4) Starting to like the idea of wearing the tudung tapi still in the experimental stages.

(5) Usually sleep at arnd 4-5 am during hols due to....gilmore girling, prison breaking, grey's anatomy-ing and heroing. Its so bad i know...i just love TV series =D

(6) Echam only has 2 papers to do and she starts and finishes in 1 day..so yea...a bit jealous of that. Nda apa cham. =P

(7) Put in money into my bank account...still unsure of how to do it but managed fine at the end.

(8) Had a case of OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder) when i vacuumed the common room and cleaned the kitchen. Rimas ku meliat, bejurit bah hallmates ku ani. I dunno if that was OCD or just because i didnt want to get back to studying. Maybe a bit of both.

(9) Its SNOWING!!! Is what i would say if i could actually see snow falling from the sky...but no...alum..but it is getting colder tho.

(10) My aunt celebrated her __th birthday today.

(11)I miss everyone =(. From Elush, to Echam, to Beb to Rosie to Umi to Jirin and to Kaka Ziah to everyone back home.

(12) In 5 months time..we'll be done with our first year as undergraduates...hopefully semua bejalan lancar for our second year. Amiiin.

Oraits...thats it for now..gotta go "study" and hopefully i can ace this exam berabis-berabisly. No kidding. =) Gue akan cuba sedaya upaya. Like the AF moto..."saya akan cuba yg TERBAIK".

Assalamualaikum and Love all you beautiful people...yes you behind the computer =D

Ciao bella. x x x x

Cardiff and Elush

Assalamualaikum,

Here are some long overdue pictures of our vacation arah Cardiff, Wales at Elush's Llantarnam Rd pad. Seronoks eventho it was uber cold...we survived by sleeping with each other. Hahaha. I'll leave u to think about that one...long and hard.

This is the picture of me eating pasta arah this place where the theme was on classical music geniuses like Beethoven, Chopin and Bach.

This one is of me, elush and echam after riding the ferris wheel. Super fun but sikit lagi muak coz the handlers kept spinning us around everytime kami bepusing.

Ummm....yg ani....i just think they were hungry esp c echam. =P

This is us with our hosts...emma and jules and elush!

Chillin arah living room with our pajama bottoms...aku suka!

Friends reunited...i miss elush and echam...=(

Eventhough there are a lot more pictures of us...im afraid i have to put them on reserve coz of a number of reasons:
(a) Aku ngalih.
(b) Something's wrong with the format of this stupid blogger shite...inda ku pandai.
(c) Takutku kamu sasak meliat muka kami saja.
(d) Takutku kamu tecabar meliat kami luan lawa bah...kami 3 tah lagi (i think i've osmosis-ed a bit of echam's vainness). =P
(e) Everything hurts from my eyes, to my back to my fingers to even my laptop's keyboard.
(f) Ngalihku banar.. haha. =P

Bah, thats it for now..i will probably blog again in the wee hrs of the morning. Maybe..most likely. Dari not blogging...baik blogging kan. =P

Ciao bellas.

Serenade me with beautiful music

Ola friends,

Its now 1 am and i'm still up and about not intending to sleep at all. Cham, you're nowhere online so i'm left to my own devices to keep me occupied..nyeeh..did u get a hangover from all the partying? Hehehe. Nada deh...just kidding.

I've been online since the moment i woke up and i don't know if thats worrying or healthy. Lol. Worrying because it seems like im not being very productive, healthy because i'm connected to the world, like i'm able to talk to my family and everything. So, it's not too bad. I'll get the studying done eventually. Amiin.

This afternoon, i stole the radio from the kitchen and firmly placed it in my room. Hehe, nanti saya turunkan balik. I've had the radio on for about 2 hrs now and its been lovely. Its been serenading me with beautiful music, pure escapism. The music is just right because i've not turned the dial once, which is unusual for me since i'm so antsy and restless all the time. So, i'm pretty much content with my environment right now...because of what im listening to.

Okay...atu pulang gnya aku kan ckp, i know its random, i know it might be boring...but i dont care coz its what im feeling right now. Either deal with it or cari blog lain. Mwahahaha.

Since its 2007, find something to make you happy. This is making me happy..so i'm one step closer. Closer to what? Even i don't know the answer to that yet. Nyeeh.

Ciao beautiful people.

Gimme RaiNboWs in 2007

H a p p y N e W Y e a r 2 0 0 7.

Hello people!!

Had a good new year's? I had a really quiet one with friends. Due to the strong winds in Liverpool, the mayor cancelled the fireworks and countdown events for new year's eve. Boringks. Tapi udah kami kluar, mcm okay pun weathernya. Boooo. But i did manage to catch the fireworks display at the London Eye on TV...it was so beautiful makes me kinda wish i was actually there to experience it. Tapikan...mcm ramai urg di river Thames atu so maybe that wouldn't be such a good idea.

Ah well...theres gonna be loads of new year's eve celebrations in the following years so im not too depressed by it. And i think it's more memorable to spend it with loved ones, baru ada kick. I was even tempted to go to Leicester just for 2 days so i had someone to celebrate new year's with. But i've spent way too much oredi, if the train ticket was cheap i wud've treated myself but kan exam bah. Banyak excuses aku ah. Nanti saja cham ahh. Love u. Hehe.

My new year's eve was prety uneventful, i was planning to enjoy a movie marathon at the cinema...alone...sendiri but then i got delayed so i missed my movies so i decided to save it for today. But then i woke up late lagi so im still contemplating whether i should go out in the wet and cold and walk for 15 mins towards the cinema. Antah lah labu, i could save me some money. Haha.

I've reached a mental block right about now. Have a prosperous new year everyone. May it be better and more eventful for you, me and everyone else. Amiin. I hope 2007 will be a good year for me both on the academics side and the social side. Amiin. =P

Love u all, be merry and enjoy the year to the fullest.
