In My Mind

2nd USS Trip!

2012-02-16T13:00:00.005+08:00

It was a last minute plan, but we made it!

Though I went there before with my family, this time, I went with my friends!

Wuhooo.

Johor + Singapore! :)

We rode on the blue one. Didn't get a chance to ride on the red one cos I felt too chicken. And the queue was sooooooooooooooo long!

I could not believe that I actually rode on the crazy Battlestar Gallactica roller coaster because I AM A CHICKEN when it comes to this. But all four of us (the person who took the picture) pulled through and got in it anyways.

Haa.. the rollercoaster flipped us upside down like 5 times. It. Was. Kerazy. I tell you. Hahahaha.

Little Miss Audrene

2012-01-26T14:44:00.003+08:00

I love this picture of myself and Audrene, my 7 year old niece.

This picture was taken the day me and Audrene went out for a girls day out.

More like an aunty-niece day out ;)

She's such a big girl now!

2012-01-26T14:22:00.004+08:00

I got this from the "What Your Birthdate Says About You" application at Facebook.

Please ignore the weird grammar - it was a bit confusing at first but it's understandable.

Btw, I am NOT stubborn.

Ok, that's all.

My rocking obsession

2012-01-16T13:18:00.004+08:00

Most little girls grow up with girl band songs, boy band songs.. but me? (thanks to my brothers!) I grew up with rock songs!

My love for rock music started when I was very little (4 or 5 maybe?). My brothers would expose me to classic songs from Search, Wings, Guns N' Roses, Nirvana, Metallica.. I listened to these rock songs everyday in their room and they would tell me about the bands and their songs. There had been numerous times I went into their room (while they were sleeping!) and watched concert tapes! Haha. Once, when I was 8, (I was being super stubborn cos I didn’t want to go to bed at all) my mom had to use Axl Rose’s name to get me sleeping. Hahaha. That bad!

Soo when I had the chance of watching Konsert Awie and Ella at Istana Budaya with my mom, dad and brother, I was excited. The starting of the show was fantastic – the bands played their guitars and drums and there I was, a 24-year-old to be, feeling like a giggly 6 year old. If it weren’t for Istana Budaya and my parents, I would have gone a bit frenzy.. (like I did at Pitbull’s concert) Hahaha.

Oh, the show was amazing! Awie and Ella were so greaaat and they sang their hit songs like Tragedi Oktober, Sembilu, Layar Impian, Ratuku.. My eyes were even teary cos their songs really struck me. Music always does this to me and I can get really sucked into a song (if it’s really good). My parents had fun too! Towards the end, Awie and Ella asked everybody to stand up and dance – and they did! (Well, my parents did not danced lah.. but they stood up and clapped and they were laughing and smiling! :D). Thank you concert people for making a wonderful show!!!! :)

What a way to celebrate mom’s birthday!

Happy 61^st birthday mum.

I love you with all of my heart.

Adik.

Hello 2012. Hello Dragon Year.

..And hello to being 24 (in 3 months time lol).

Entered the new year with a bang (with loads and LOADS of fireworks. My neck was in pain from looking up at the sky for too long :s).

Btw, how cute are the big bears in the picture? They're so colourful! Oh that one was during Christmas night. Nothing special though.. no fireworks or music, just a bunch of people spraying foams. We even went back a bit early, which is seldom though seeing KL was not that jammed up like before.

Well for new year, I must say it was awesome. Almost all of the restaurants at The Curve sold New Year's Menu (which is silly - they charge you extra for not-so-nice-food. Hmph). But thank god for Itallianies - big portion and ok price. Then, there's that New Year's show.. I think my hips and legs were dislocated from dancing and being pushed around. Yikes. I even limped for a few days and my body was sooooo tired. Extra tired than before!

I guess that's it then. Toodles and Happy New Year!

xoxo, Aleza.

2011-12-30T10:31:00.004+08:00

Been wanting to post this since forever but I was so busy with work.

:)

The long awaited date...

2011-12-02T22:31:00.004+08:00

Pitbull live in KL - 1.12.2011!

Eventhough it was raining really heavily (they even started a bit late cause of the heavy rain AND there were lightnings - GULP) but it was worth it. WORTH EVERY RINGGIT MAN, SERIOUSLY.

I think I went a bit frenzy when Mr. Worldwide came on stage. He was just dreamy... Needless to say, I went on a super hyper mode that night. I even feel like screaming now. Haha.

Anyway, thank you Pitbull for making our night! You were awesome!

I love you!!

*frenzy mode still*

That's one thing I can cross out from my list.

2011-11-29T20:19:00.005+08:00

I am so proud of myself.

You wanna know why?

It's because of THIS!!

ROCK CLIMBING.

OH YEAH.

Up, up and away Aleza!

This shot was taken right before I slipped and fell! Almost reached the top but then my little hands were so weak that I slipped. But hey, the person said for a first timer, it was pretty good. She even said I was brave!

12 metres man!

*pats myself on the back*

2011-11-25T10:23:00.003+08:00

I feel like banging my head on the wall cos I am having one of those annoying episodes of...

WRITER'S BLOCK.

It's so frustrating!! I need word vomit.. NOW.

:(

2011-11-19T10:00:00.004+08:00

Don't you just love birthdays? ;)

Aaaa yummms.

I bought the party hats and forced EVERYONE to wear. So they did. Heheh. Too bad I didn't buy those whistles.. and those party thingies. LOL.

We didn't forget Maisara and Eyra too cos they share the same birthday month with Haziqah! It was a last minute celebration, actually.. I thought of making them cards (been such a long time since I did something creative..) but was so tired cos I just came back from the office. So yeah, bought them cards with a little twist ;)

Luckilly we didn't get back home that late since the next day is a working day.. :s

Anyway, Happy Birthday Haziqah, Eyra and Maisara!
You're all 23 now!
Love you guys ;)

2011-11-16T11:08:00.004+08:00

You know what's the best pizza I've ever tasted so far?

THIS. Oh.My.God.

It used to be Domino's pizza - Classified Chicken with Thin Crust - YUMMS.

But THAT (see above picture) - waaayyy yummier.

Of Dreams.

2011-10-29T10:54:00.002+08:00

A few months back, I went to my friend's house in Bangi and she showed me her biodata book. (You know when you were kids you wrote about yourself "name, age, ambition" and stuffs?) Yeah, that one.

So she flipped to my part (I was 14 at that time..) and there I wrote, ambition: Journalist. When I saw that, I felt a pang in my chest. Not a bad kind of pang but a good one. ;) Cause that's what I am right now, a journalist.

Dreams do come true.

I have always enjoyed writing, ever since I was small. But I remembered when I was 8, I really hated writing and I felt writing an essay was just... so hard. But the passion grew. Sometimes (well most of the times) I sit by myself and think, "Wow".

No words can describe how thankful I am with what I have right now. Alhamdulillah.

I have always been more comfortable writing in English than in my own mother tongue (I know, I am BAD!) but so far, I think I'm doing fine. I like to think that my BM is getting better, with the help of a dictionary and a translating website of course, HA HA.

Well, got to go. I wanna spend my last 30 minutes in the office with Facebook and some research for the new issue. Toodles :)

Signing off,
Aleza.

My Convocation

2011-10-26T00:22:00.003+08:00

Today has been an emotional day for me.

Emotional and happy.

After 2 years of degree, I have finally graduated! All those tears and hard work have finally paid off..

So proud to be a Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM) Public Relations graduate. Thank you UiTM :)

2011-10-17T23:04:00.002+08:00

I've taken my graduation robe!

COUNTING DAYS TO THE BIG DAY!
=)

2011-10-12T15:07:00.002+08:00

I have been putting off my genetics article for quite some time. Maybe I should start off now..
Luckily I've typed out what the scientist said and all that's left is for me to work on the article. So yeah, the hard part's over.

On a brighter note: My graduation is just around the corner! And I can't wait to see everybody! Be prepared, I shall give everyone a big bear hug! (or maybe a kiss or two..) EXCITEDDDDDDD.

:)

Procrastinator

2011-10-11T20:38:00.001+08:00

2011-10-01T11:45:00.003+08:00

I am counting minutes to get off from work... An hour plus more...

...Reading two books at once is really confusing. As you know, I'm reading John Steinbeck's East of Eden but I feel so guilty for holding hostage of my boss' book The Mortal Instruments: City of Ashes. I think I might have to finish that first then continue with East of Eden... :s

Workout!

2011-10-01T10:31:00.003+08:00

Is there such thing as being a yoga junkie? I think I've turned into that..

Just a few days ago, I have started back my Yoga regime. I went to Tesco and bought Denise Austin's fat burning yoga workouts and my oh my.. if it doesn't help me burn fat, with all the rigorous workout and all, I don't know what will..

And the best part of it all, I really, really sweat!

New Quest

2011-09-18T15:08:00.002+08:00

It has been going in my mind for a while to read the top 100 books to read before you die. But there were just too many lists - I got a little bit confused as to which list I should follow. Because of this, I googled up Oprah's Book Club - and yes, I'll be using that list. And my new 'mission' is to read ALL books from Oprah's Book Club.

Soo my quest to completing this list starts with East of Eden, written by Nobel Prize winner John Steinbeck. I have been wanting to get my hands on this book ever since I watched Oprah.. So yeah, I'm a happy camper! :))

Love,
Aleza

Transitions

2011-09-13T15:10:00.002+08:00

It is really, really important for me to stop buying things!

I have to be really careful cos I have to pay for my car.. Study loan..

Lord, I feel so old.

And whenever I meet up with my friends who are already working, we talk about work stuffs. Haha. Ok, this transition really tickles me pink sometimes. I may be one of the most immature and manja person among my friends and here I am, talking about work with them. Hehehe.

Too cute.

Selamat Hari Raya!

2011-09-11T14:18:00.003+08:00

I hope it's not too late to wish all a Selamat Hari Raya!

I think by far this year is the busiest raya cos I went all over the place for open houses. Huehuehe. I guess having my own car makes me more adventurous and braver in finding out the roads..by myself! *pat pat*

Well, off to another open house! Tata :)

Whee.

2011-08-27T21:00:00.003+08:00

My week long holiday starts.. NOW!

The only thing that excites me about Eid is that I don't have to fast (I really miss eating lunch.. :s) and I get to eat mom's Soto.

I think that's about it.

Oh, and Raya programs on tv. Which can be hilarious. Haha.

Hari Raya with my family's just small, nothing big though. While most people balik kampung, well me, no kampung, here only. Hehe.

So yup, that's my Raya!

(Too early to b wishing muslims Selamat Hari Raya.. I might drop in a few days time..)

LOVE,

Alezaaa. :)

Cheesy but forever a classic :)

2011-08-26T22:02:00.003+08:00

Starting over

2011-08-20T22:37:00.002+08:00

After that really booring phase of white blog background, I have finally become colourful again!

Ha ha ha.

But, I'm not really happy though cos I want my own design! I've googled how to build up blog headers and all but.. Hmm.. La.....Zy..

I could try. But later lah..

Let's just keep it that way for the mean time, see how my brain reacts to it later on.

Omg, can you believe Ramadhan is almost over?? Not really big on Hari Raya (or some of you might call it Eid) cos it's like any other day (to me), the only difference is I get to eat during the day! (I kinda miss eating lunch...)

Ohh, about my Twitter account (NadiaOthman), my Tweets before this was like 300 smthing but then, after my friends have Twitter, my Tweets have skyrocketed till thousands. Ha ha ha. Well, I guess Twitting is fun with friends! And what's up with Kimora Lee Simmons and her BM tweets? Too cute!

Well, I'm rambling. Frustrated cos The Sims Social on FB can't load. Why ah?? Kesian my Lily Lee.. :(

I roll up baby, I roll up.

2011-08-20T22:18:00.003+08:00

I am currently obsessed with this song.

He looks a bit high in this vid, IMO. But nevertheless he's kinda cute. Haha.

Btw, it that Cassie in the vid? She has cool hair...

Colour me bright!

2011-08-15T12:04:00.002+08:00

Hahhh.. That time of the month has come again!

The time where.. I've finished the articles and regular for the September issue! Wuhoo. I'm so happy, I could fly~

But.. The downside of it is that, I have nothing to do.. Ok lah, I have this stack of translations to do but the deadline's at the end of the month.. Soooo I have to do these translations really really slow to avoid boredom.. Hehe.

And plus, the lady boss (her desk is right behind me) is absent today! So I get to freely roam the Internet, just as I please. Nyihaha. Not that I don't do that infront of her. Haha.

Which I think can bite me in the buttocks/bootie or whatever you call it cos.. I think I saw like a manual to block Facebook in the office.

NOOOOO. Please Mister Boss and Mrs Boss's Wife a.k.a Lady Boss.. PLEASE DON'T BLOCK FACEBOOK or OTHER FUN WEBSITES. I thrive on them... :'(

I can totally focus on my work better with Facebook, SERIOUSLY. I can't focus on my work if I'm bored, and I try to stay away from anything that gets me feeling stale and..bored. So, Facebook, Twitter, blogs and such are my best friends in times of doing work. They colour up my life.

Talking about colours, I am currently dealing with a client who is so blur, I wish I could colour her up to make her brighter.

Anyhoots, this is it till now. Tata!

Have a great Monday everyone! I know I am..

....Har har har.

Loves, Aleza!

2011-08-09T13:00:00.002+08:00

So I went to a spa with my boss last week.

And it was oh so awhsome.

Yeah, you heard me right. It was awhsome. Especially it was my first spa experience.. Hihi. And now, I have to write a review about it.. Haish it would be easy if I have the idea but I'm having one of those moments of..blockage.

Haih. It's really frustrating when you have writer's block. Grrrr.

2011-08-06T09:25:00.002+08:00

Hullo.

I'm in the office, on a Saturday. I really really can't wait to get home today.

You know why?

It's because.. I can't wait to continue sleeping.

Uwaa. I'm so sleepy during this ramadhan month and my sleep has been disturbed. Yealah, mana taknya I slept late and woke up early for sahur then after sahur, I'll continue sleeping, wake up and go to work. After work, I'll sleep till iftar (I just found out that iftar means buka puasa. Ha Ha ha)

K lah, bye!

Books are windows to the imagination.

2011-08-01T12:58:00.005+08:00

It's been quite some time since I've read any book. I think the last book I read was... uhmm.. *wondering* ok, see how long? I can't really remember what was the last book!

Oh ok, I remember now. The Time Traveller's Wife. I thought at first the book was wonderful, but as it progresses, it felt a bit dragging.. So I couldn't finish it. And plus, I know the ending (from the movie - LOL). So, yeah. That's it then.

About a few weeks ago, my chief have told me about this book called The Mortal Instruments. She asked me if I was a fan of the Twilight series (which I am - er, was. I read all four of them) and she said the book was far better than the Twilight series. So I asked her, are there vampires and werewolves in that book, and she answered YES.

Now being a lover of books (I shall not call myself a bookworm - A book LOVER, more like it :p) ,I of course, wanted to get my hands on it.

So, she brought it and cautioned me if I could not finish it, don't force myself.

You know that feeling you get when you get your hands on a book and you can't wait to devour those pages one by one? Well, I felt that (well not specifically on Mortal Instruments but ALL books) . Got home, and devoured those pages. And devour, and devour.. continuing to devour it..

I haven't finished yet (cos it's only been 2 days since she lent me) but whoa! The verdict (for now): WHOA. Ok, WHOA. I gotta finish it up, quick. So far so good. And it's my first time reading this err young-adult-fiction-with-supernatural-elements (from the wise word of a friend, hehe) genre. So yeah, so far so good.

AND I heard from a friend of mine, The Mortal Instruments is gonna be made a movie and it has 6 books altogether. I of course, googled it. And YES! Wuhoo. Ooo so Jace Wayland is gonna be played by Jamie Campbell Bower and Clary Fray is gonna be played by Lily Collins. Apparently that Jamie guy played as young Arthur in Camelot the series kan? Recognized his face. I've never seen Lily Collins before tho. But hey yeay, they've found their hero and heroin - means the movie is in progress, so YEAY!

Cannot, cannot wait! :)

2011-08-01T12:55:00.002+08:00

Ahh the time of the year has come to greet us, again.

What time I hear you say? Why, the fasting month lah!

The food tastes more delicious when it's in the Ramadhan month.. Yumms, cannot wait for what's instal for dinner (buka puasa).

Selamat berpuasa to all Muslims. :)

Meet Vivian.

2011-07-28T10:44:00.003+08:00

Wuhoo August issue - OUT and I am ever so excited.

My first cover story - first ever! I interviewed a comedienne (or is it comedian?)/ actress and she was just lovely and funny. I couldn't stop laughing whenever she did her jokes. Hihi.

Anyway, I am ever so proud and of course happy lah. Hihi.

Hmm. Last week I finally got my new baby! Yeah. It was supposed to be another model but something happened (which I really don't want to talk about it) but yeah, I got another one. And I named her Vivian. Hihi.

So right now I'm still getting used to Vivian - new car, new feeling. And who would've thought banks and insurance are..so complicated and hard?? Thank god my parents helped me through it. Now, all I gotta do is pay up every month to the bank (that's all I know :s). Oh god, I feel so...old and matured cos I bought my very first car. My very first big property under my name. And I signed for it. Wow. Wow. Time really flies.

Feels like only yesterday I was just a student...

And for that I am so very grateful and humbled. Ok, I can feel the water works coming out now. I dunno why I'm so very touchy feely lah now. Too humbled by the experience of it all kot.

Anyway, Vivian has battle scars dah. Eeks. Sorry Viv!

***

Btw, tonight is Malaysia's football match against Singapore. Oh god, Good Luck Boys! Hitam Kuning, Hitam Kuning, Go Tigers, Go Tigers! I won't be going to the stadium though but my support is as strong as to those who go and shout shout for our team. Goo Malaysia!!!!!

RAWRRRRRRR!!!!!

Reflections

2011-07-23T12:06:00.004+08:00

I just finished reading my old old posts.

Wow. Ok... Feels like a bit sad, since I just went through a horrifying breakup (at that time) and I was so so happy to be with my friends. But wow.

As I compared the old posts and me, right now. I can see a huge difference. A HUGE difference. Back then I was a bit naive, I suppose. So sad, so angry and so...dependent.

But now, I'm not sad, I'm not even angry anymore (maybe a bit? I do hold grudges at some point - and it's NOT good, eeks!). And I'm definitely NOT dependent of anyone.

Sometimes when I look back of my life, I can't help but laugh. It is true though, my mom laughed and said to me something like "life' funny kan adik?" (well, not gonna dive into what I talked with my mom though) but yeah, life IS funny.

And I feel so grateful for everything that has happened. Yes, I really am.

2011-07-23T10:34:00.002+08:00

Here's a simple way of summing up about how I feel right now:

:)

2011-07-21T10:45:00.002+08:00

I seriously can't wait for the mag's August issue to be out!

I always feel proud seeing my name as the byline of the article (or articles..) i wrote :)

Especially this month, the cover story's mine!!

Yayness

:)

Shop and Shine!

2011-07-16T11:38:00.002+08:00

Oh god.

I slept at 3 and woke up at 8.15 am and went to work.

And now I couldn't stop sneezing at all. And I think it's irritating my colleagues. Yikes.

Went out with my girlfriends - SHOPPING.

I just love spending spending. And they brought me to this wonderful place where it's all cheap.. When I passed by the dress booth, I swore I could see lights around it. And that's the place for me to get lost in.

As I went out of that magical place, I was beaming - and my friends were like "OK.. She bought it, she bought it!"

Nyiahaha.

Can we please, please, PLEASE go again? :)

2011-07-15T18:36:00.001+08:00

If I die young,
Bury me in satin,
Lay me down on a bed of roses,
Sink me in a river, at dawn,
Send me away with the words of a love song.

These lyrics have a haunting meaning, don't you think?
And I can't stop listening to it.
:)

:')

2011-07-15T13:44:00.004+08:00

I came across this interesting blog saying something about love.

So, lemme just summarize it. Love's like water in your hands. If you keep it open, it'll stay but if you close your hands (as if possessing it), the water flows out (and you're left with no water at all).

I suppose that's true. You can't really possess love.
Once you start to possess it, the love flows out (as if crushing) - til you're left with none.
But if you accept it with open hands, the love (or water, whatever) stays.
Cos once you're possessive of it, it's like being crushed.
And both parties get hurt.

Accept each others differences. You are after all, unique. So why not celebrate the uniqueness together kan? :)

Harry Potter :)

2011-07-15T10:43:00.002+08:00

...watched Harry Potter in 3D yesterday with momma.

And it was awesome.

A perfect ending. And, as an avid reader of the Harry Potter books, I am not disappointed with this movie. :)

I got a bit teary eyed towards the end because it felt a bit sad knowing that this is the last Harry Potter movie. I grew up with Harry's adventures. And now, it's all over... aw..

Tq J.K Rowling for giving us this wonderful story! :)

2011-07-10T22:08:00.000+08:00

Oh god I'm so sleepy right now.. And it's only 10.10pm! :(

I was scrolling through my blog and stopped at Skip's post. I still miss her though and I feel a bit empty.

Miss you sweetheart :)

2011-07-10T19:50:00.001+08:00

.....I really need a good book to curl and wind down with.

Any suggestions?

;)

=D

2011-06-21T13:47:00.002+08:00

Listening to Jesse McCartney's Alive in the office.

Oh! Hello. I just finished lunch and I am really really full! The question is, what shall I do now? My work's almost done eventhough the deadline's the end of the week. What to do, what to do..

Oh, my energy has finally restored today cos I slept about 9 1/2 hours. Power sleep baby, power sleep! :D

zoooooooooooo.

2011-06-19T11:52:00.000+08:00

I went to an event at the zoo yesterday and it was fun! When I received the invitation (the invitation was pretty colourful!) I was really excited! Been years and years since I went to the zoo, that's why.

The event was held right infront of where the giraffes were. They are sooo big and tall! Like when can you actually meet with these animals up close and personal kan? And all the did was eat.. And eat.. Hmmmm.

After the event, I didn't explore the whole zoo tho, was too tired. But it was fun, very very cute. Will definitely go there again, event or not :)

End of something is a start of a beginning :)

2011-06-19T01:00:00.000+08:00

After 16 years of studying, my years as a student have finally ended, officially!!

Nothing beats the feeling and excitement of finishing your studies after checking your results! As I saw the word COMPLETED, my heart skipped a beat. Hehee. I feel sooo grateful. Thank you!!

I feel free now, a huge sigh of relief could be released now. Phew!

Next stop: CONVOCATION!!

Oh god, now I gotta think about the graduation attire!! :D ok, probably too advanced but tak sabar!

;)

2011-06-18T21:59:00.000+08:00

Water for Elephant played by Robert Pattinson and Reese Witherspoon was awesome. A future Oscar winner perhaps, Mr Pattinson? :)

So its been a month plus since I've started work. And so far, so good. I'm enjoying it as I can wirte to my heart's content. Hehe.

Ok lah, til later. Chiao. :D

Love,
Aleza

Yellow flowers.

2011-06-04T16:37:00.004+08:00

Hi Skip. Today mak and I brought flowers for you. They were yellow, just like you. Well, almost like you.

I miss you darling. I don't think anybody is really over about your passing. It's too painful and sad. Every where I turn around, I keep seeing you sleeping or just lounging around. And every time I think about you I can feel my eyes watery.

Sleep well sayang.

Love you.

Goodbye darling.

2011-06-03T15:22:00.004+08:00

I am at grief right now.

My 12 year old cat died, under my bed. She was a very old cat.. died of old age. And I feel terribly sad. No words could describe how I am feeling right now.

She was on old, old cat. Took her to the vet about a few weeks ago and the doctor said she was very very ill. And a 12 year old cat is equivalent to a 65 year old human.

Wow. Hear that Skip? You would've have been 65 years old if you were a human.

I couldn't stop crying ever since last night. I didn't realize losing her would be this hard. She was a part of the family. I grew up with her, ever since I was 11. And I'm 23 now. She was there when my sister got married, had my two nieces, my brother's wedding, my nephew was born. She was there through everything. She was even there when I went through my break up. Haih.

I'm in the office now and I can't seem to concentrate, losing Skip is so hard. I know some of you might say, hey. she's only a cat!

No. She's not. She's not ONLY a cat. She was a part of the family. She was with us for 12 years.

Skip was a very smart cat, it seemed like she had human emotions.. And she was sensitive.. somehow I felt that she really knew what we felt whenever we're sad or happy. Haih. She was bathroom trained. Once, she even tried to poop and pee on the toilet bowl! But it was too much of a hassle, so she went to the sink.

Haih. Remembering about her makes it harder.. and sadder.

Poor skip had to go through being sick for a few months..

But, I am at peace at the thought that she went peacefully, at home. And surrounded by her family. My sister and her girls even came to the house to say goodbye to Skip when I told her Skip's not doing too well.

At least you know that you were loved, sweetheart.

As I saw her lifeless body after pulling her out from under my bed, I couldn't hold my tears. My mom, my dad, my brother cried. She looked peaceful, like she was asleep. She still looked good even as a lifeless being.

You were always beautiful, Skip. Almost everybody that have met you before couldn't believe their eyes when I said you were 12. Yes, you were beautiful.

No more purring, no more shouting "Skip mana? Skip! Skip! Jom makan!", no more seeing her running, no more seeing her asleep on the bed, on the stack of newspapers, under the bed.. No more Skip.

I love you, sweetheart. You will always be in our memories and our hearts. I love you so much.

Skip

I never really realized how much I appreciate my weekend after I've started working. All I wanna do is stay at home and.. sleep.

Tomorrow is my first of everything! I am so nervous, but a good nervous, so its ok lah. :)

Btw, have I started ageing? My back aches like mad and I'm rather windy now.

Hmph.

Zooming in time.

2011-05-11T00:58:00.000+08:00

Time really zooms fast.

Gosh.

First day of a new beginning.

2011-05-10T19:48:00.001+08:00

The first day of work is like the first day of school. Unsure, nervous, worried you don't have anyone to have lunch with. But luckilly, my first day went ok.. My boss was nice and she showed me places to eat and i had one more colleague who followed too. And she came in like 2 weeks earlier than me. So ok lah.. Hehe.

So far, the job is treating me alright. And i am very very grateful. Hehee. And furthermore, i haven't gotten the feeling of the 'journalist vibe' yet coz i haven't interviewed anybody yet. But will soon! Hihi.

Ok lah, whoaa long time since i've updated.. Toodles! :)

2011-05-02T22:37:00.001+08:00

First day tomorrow! Whoa.. I'm so excited and nervous at the same time! :)

Aanyhoots, got my hands on archery yesterday.. and I suck at it. Bahahaha.

2011-05-02T01:04:00.003+08:00

29th April 2011 was no-leaving-the-house-day for me cos I wanted to watch the royal wedding. Bahaha. I was glued in front of the tv from morning til nite cos I didn't want to miss any of the moments.. and the bride looked soo beautiful!! :D

Aaanyhoo, a few more days for my first job! I am excited and nervous at the same time! :D

2011-04-22T19:11:00.000+08:00

Omg. This is so cool. I can blog using my mobile! I know it seems a bit uhm old school but it has been such a long time since i used a handphone as 'high tech' as this! My previous handphone was only a simple one, WITHOUT camera and mp3 or internet so for me to be using this, i am super super excited! Oh old handphone was cranky, so had to change weee. Excitinggg. But i hope i dont have to pay! Grrr. 3 times kene tolak 10 ringgit cos smthing got mixed up. Grrr. But anyhoots, watched red riding hood just now. Was ok... So-so only. Alrightey bubyeeee.

2011-04-21T01:38:00.000+08:00

Bonjourno!

2011-04-21T00:51:00.006+08:00

Whoa. I have been neglecting this blog for a verrryyy long time. Writer's block and no inspiration to write. Hmph.

So, lately I was a Volunteer during the F1 World Championship held at Sepang International Circuit. It. Was. Amazing. I had tonnes of fun and I got to see Michael Schumacher up front! And Sebastien Vettel and and Lewis Hamilton. I went on a total groupie mode that time but I had to contain myself, I was working at that time. But come on! How many times can you see those drivers up close and personal???

And so I went on being the excited me..

On another note, I wanted to show of my new hair! :D

Nitey nite :)

Btw, I am officially an unemployed unofficial graduate! I just submitted my report AND had my presentation on my internship. So yeah, hopefully all goes well.. :)

Aleza.

2011-02-20T03:37:00.002+08:00

So I was on a movie rampage this week, watching Sanctum AND The Rite 2 straight days! Muhahaha.

Sanctum was in 3d. It. Was. Awesome. Definitely not a movie for the claustrophobic like moi. Regardless, it was a good movie. I even squirmed watching (I'm so squirmish right now, I dunno why.. Hahaa) I have always felt a bit uneasy about the sea, anything underwater kinda freaks me out cos creepy lah. Deep water, dark, no oxygen.. a bit creepy for my liking. And I was a bit scared watching the movie. There was even some parts I closed my eyes HAHAH. But seriously, it's a good movie. And in 3d. So it was extra cool. And it was inspired by true events.

The next day, I went to watch The Rite played by Anthony Hopkins. It's a movie about exorcism, something like The Exorcist. And it was also inspired by true events. A bit creepy though especially the exorcism part. I closed my eyes too. Bahahaha.

Aaanyways. Almost March!!! Yeayy.

2011-02-15T23:16:00.002+08:00

A day late to wish all the lovebirds out there a Happy Valentine's Day.

Sooo.. Happy Valentine's Day! :)

Watched No Strings Attached earlier and the movie was really cuuute. Ashton Kutcher was so cute (and such a hunk) and and Natalie Portman too! Definitely a perfect date movie.. though I watched it with my best friend. Haha.

Well, bye bye! :)

Boredom.

2011-02-08T16:05:00.005+08:00

Last day of my long longgg week holiday.. *sigh* then it's back to the office and work, work, work!

Am spending my last day of holiday in another office though.. my best friend's dad's office.. hehe. Everybody is working but here I am, updating my blog and.. Facebook. Hihi.

I hope I'm not a nuisance though.

*I will be extra quiet, I promise!*

I love long holidays, I really do but it makes it twice as hard to START going back to the office cos I'll get too comfortable staying at home and doing nothing.. going out.. sleeping REALLY late.. waking up REALLY late.. ngehehe :)

Well, to those who have started working, Happy Working!! :)

At bestie's dad's office. Temporary worker

hahahahahahahah.

2011-02-05T03:24:00.002+08:00

And this is why I LOVE Leighton Meester.. :D

Hehehehehe. Just a little humor for ya.

I love how my friends are random. We could be eating or hanging out at a mamak place in Kepong and we'll end up driving around KL, totally unplanned. We've even ended up driving to Putrajaya..! Hehehe.

Like earlier, we went to a cafe in Subang Jaya and ended up driving around the city. From Subang to Ampang to Selayang.. Hahaa. And I was the one driving! I don't really like to drive so it was a hugee deal :p

I like being spontaneous. Being spontaneous makes me feel free..

Books.

2011-02-04T01:53:00.003+08:00

I am currently reading My Sister's Keeper by Jodi Picoult. Jodi Picoult is such an amazing writer! Aside from Sidney Sheldon, she is definitely one of my favourites.

I've read a few of her books like Nineteen Minutes, The Tenth Circle, Mercy and The Pact and all of em are page turners. Whenever I'm done with the books, I'm always left with feeling.. uhm.. emotional? And I'll even discuss the book with my mom (since we share the same taste of books! :))

Her books are definitely worth reading.

I always say to my mom "Jodi Picoult's books make me smart!" Heheheheh.

BOOOOOOO.

2011-02-02T00:57:00.002+08:00

Watching ghost movies make my heart race and make my blood pump really fast! It's like an adrenaline rush, a rush that I enjoy!

Khurafat was...scary! I screamed for 3 times.. and I peeked through my tiny fingers during the scary scenes hahaa. I can be such a scaredy cat but nevertheless, I'm like a ghost movie addict or something. Hahaa. I just like the thrill and the rush.

The feeling of not knowing.

The feeling of suspense.

The feeling of tremendous shock.

All for a while, then those feelings just disappear.

Heheh.

Next movie to watch! The Rite! :)

Little cooks

2011-01-29T17:49:00.002+08:00

I want that glasses. I want, I want, I want.

So I'm watching Junior Masterchef Australia right now and these kids are absolutely amazing! They're only 8-12 years old but they can cook like a pro.

I remembered when I was 8.. All I know was to eat instead of cooking (still not interested in cooking, though). But these kids are so talented!

And they're not afraid of frying stuffs. Unlike me, the would be 23 year old who hates frying stuffs cos I am deathly afraid of hot oil splashing out from the pan.

And the kids are soooo adorable!

Hope you have a happy weekend! Toodles :)

Aww.

2011-01-28T00:14:00.004+08:00

I am currently obsessed with this song: James Morrison's You Make It Real. This song makes me feel like falling in love.. Aww it's great how a song could actually touch your heart like that..

Aww. James Morrison's voice is so romantic ok. :)

I swear this song is in my head right now. It's on repeat. :))

Btw, time flies so fast! Pejam celik January's almost over and in about 2 months I'll be turning.. 23. Ughh. 23?? Are you serious?? Ok, time really is fast. I feel like time is on fast forward where everything seems to be moving 2 times faster..

I can't wait for my holiday right now. I seriously need a holiday.

2011-01-25T00:03:00.003+08:00

I feel so bad for senior citizens and pregnant people who take the train cos sometimes they don't get to sit.

They really need it. I mean like REALLY.

REALLY REALLY REALLY.

Of ghost to love?

2011-01-23T01:26:00.002+08:00

I have no idea why I like watching ghost movies so much.

It's like a ritual with my best friend. Every week, we'll watch ghost movies. All my idealah. Hahaa. At first it was Paranormal Activity 2 then it was My Ex Haunted Lover.. Next is Shock Labyrinth. Hahahahahhahahaa. Not to forget I watched Paranormal Activity 1 right after I watched the second one.

On another note, the tv's on right now and the Bachelorette 6 is on. Can you really fall in love with someone from a reality show? I mean to really love someone you have to know that person well,bla bla bla and all that lah kan? But can you really fall in love knowing that person just for a short period of time?

I guess some people could..

Oh well, something to ponder upon.

Ok dokie, tata. :]

2011-01-14T00:26:00.002+08:00

I think my asthma's coming back. Lately, especially at work when I'm tired and when work is piling up I'll feel wheezy and my chest will feel..heavy. Man, its been some time since I felt like this..

Or maybe cos of the icy cold weather lately?

The good news is, they're starting to give me writing related work which I really (and I mean really) appreciate. But.. I seem to be having a lot of writer's blocks.. Been sometime since I wrote anything serious.. hahhaa.

Ahh Thursday already. Blisssss.

Hopefully Friday will pass by fast! I seriously need to take deep breaths right now..

2011-01-08T03:43:00.002+08:00

Oh how I appreciate my weekends now.. *smiles*

Earlier today, I went to the movies and watched Paranormal Activity 2 with my bestie.

I knew that that movie would be scary.. And I am not really keen on watching horror movies cos well yeah, basically I'm just a scaredycat. But, I still love to thrill myself with these kinds of movies.

Well... for those of you who do not enjoy watching horror movies, I suggest to you don't watch it in the cinema! Watch dvd or tv ke apa.. The movie is really scary! Seriously. I covered my face with my cardigan almost throughout the movie. Even Pika too. Hahhaaaa. And she's the brave one compared to me!

I screamed like 4 times. Screamed. Not shouted. Hahaaa.

Well, got to go. Am looking through Harry Potter's fan fiction site! :)

1.1.11

2011-01-02T04:20:00.005+08:00

Hello 2011.

Because of these really beautiful numbers; 1.1.11, many people chose to get married on this day. Well, the numbers are beautiful. So no wonder lah.

I don't really make resolutions for myself cos I don't really follow em.. But I guess if I were to have one I would say to be a better intern?

Hahahahhahahaa.

But I'm seriousssss. I really wanna be a better intern. So hopefully I can be more productive and ace my internship! :))

It's so important to keep yourself positive and happy. It gets you through crappy times. So yeah, fake a smile, fake a laugh. It'll be good, trust me.

With Pika on NYE at The Curve. It looks like it's snowing kan in that picture? Well people sure like spraying other people on these celebrations. Haha. In other words, we got foamed.

A little peak at how crowded the place were.

Kebabooooooooooom.

We were standing right under those fireworks! It was so beautiful. I felt like I was in outer space or something. Hiks.

Happy New Year people! Wait, let me change a bit. Merry New Year everybody! :)

Love,
Aleza.

Merry Christmas and Congrats Harimau Malaya!

2010-12-30T21:37:00.004+08:00

Hello!

I don't really watch local football games (err soccer for some of you). But when Malaysia played in the final round against Indonesia, I just had to watch. Nail biting, seriously.

I am ever so proud of our Malaysia Tigers for winning!!! (I became teary eyed yesterday when Malaysia won. :D)

On another note, went to KL on Christmas night and omg. Everyone was spraying those foam thingies. But ok laaaaa. Crowded as hell but ok lah fun. KL is really beautiful with all the Chrsitmas decorations! Seriouslyyy! :)

Merry Christmas for those who celebrate :)

Much love,
Aleza :)

2010-12-24T04:28:00.003+08:00

Whoa.. I've been neglecting my blog for a long time huh.

Well, I've started my internship for like 2 weeks. Ok laa. It's internship anyways. Haha.

Since I've started 'working', I am such a boriiinnng person. I've been sleeping really early. Before 12 I'm already asleep. I knooowww boring ol me. Huaha.

Well, gtg. Tired. Hahaa. Had an awesome night. Thanks! :)

Harry Potter twice!

2010-12-02T01:20:00.002+08:00

I watched Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows again! Muhehehheheehehe.

So I went shoe shopping with my girlfriend and the idea came there and then. "Let's go watch Harry Potter since you haven't watched it! I don't mind watching twice!"

"Errrr ok. You sure don't mind?"

"YEAH!"

So off we went. I was still excited like the first time I watched it! I am such a big fan, I'm rereading the books!

The excitement was the same. Okk. Obsessed me. HEHE.

Felt a bit sad though. Next movie's gonna be the last movie.. Awww. I grew up with Harry Potter. It's like saying goodbye to a very old friend. :p

Oooh bought office shoes. Most office shoes are boring.. but I got mine cheap and nice! :) (I don't know about the comfort though.. oh well, I'll be wearing in the office anyways.) Omg, I'm starting my internship in less than two weeks! Nervous but excited! :))

Met other girlfriends before going home. Went home quite early though, my body ached. Probably too tired. I felt so old with the body aching and all. Need a massage... Yes I badly need one relaxing massage..

Reflexology!

2010-11-30T23:48:00.002+08:00

So I went to reflexology with my mom and my dad.

Mom wanted me to "repair" back my sleeping time so she asked me to go reflexology with her and dad.

Omg.

Reflexology hurts like hell.

I even broke out in cold sweats when the masseuse (uhm I wanna say poke.. but I don't think it's poking.. massaged?) massaged my toe. Eeee it hurts like hell. So I googled up which body part was controlled by the toe. Apparently is the brain. It hurt so bad cos I couldn't sleep. My parents have trouble sleeping at nights too so when they went to reflexology, needless to say they slept well.

Well it did not work on me. Maybe cos I went out last night to watch Rapunzel! (Great movie I tell you, great! HEHEE).

Then my little toes hurt too when he massaged it.. it's the sinus area. Well, my nose is a problem cos I have sinus and after he errr..poked? ok ok massaged, I couldn't stop sneezing. Probably because it triggered my nose to sneeze and my nose was running like mad. It still is..

Eee whatever it is, reflexology hurts like mad! I almost cried and I squealed like a LOT of times but I think I'm going again. I do like being massaged though.. Hihi.

Toodles,
Aleza. :D

Hols

2010-11-25T04:45:00.002+08:00

So I'm really having trouble sleeping.

It's almost 5 am and I am still...fresh....

What do I do when I'm up this late?

Tv.

Facebook.

Bloghop.

Frontierville.

(How the heck do I get married in Frontierville??????)

What a life huh? and now internship is really bugging me.. Maybe I worry too much.. :(

Oh by the way, I found (well a friend of mine introduced the place) this lovely cafe at Subang Jaya and it has these pastries.. cookies, chocolate torte, cupcakes, BROWNIES.. The brownies are to die for! It is soo moist and soo chocolatey.. Golly gosh, I feel like my chin is doubling up. Heehee. But, the brownies are realllllllllllllly good!!!!

And I am feeling hungry just thinking about them...

Early birthday celebration

2010-11-25T04:21:00.003+08:00

Pictures and memories

2010-11-16T14:47:00.002+08:00

Soo... this is what I do when I have nothing to do..

My dark purple cardigan is to die forrrr. I had the same cardigan but in black and I wanted for quite a while in other colours soooo I found this dark people! All thanks to my sisterrrrr. Thanks sissypoo! When she told me there's a dark purple one, I quickly told my mom to stop by The Curve cos I really wanted it. Hahaa. So she did. Went out of the car and zoomed to the bazaar! Hihi. Now, I want more colours! :D

Celebrated Eyra's birthday a day late at The Curve! Pika and i treated Eyra to the delightful Chocolate Lounge.. Oooh. Memang yumms. Ordered A Chocolate Affair which was chocolate dip with 4 different fruits : strawberries, oranges, kiwis and bananas. Mmmm. A feast in the mouth I must say. Bananas with chocolate dip is soo yummy I tell you! :) Well, we ate chocolate ice cream waffel to. Hahaa. Towards the end, the three of us were so full we couldn't move. Hahaa. The place is so cozy tho, I love it. It's so cozy at one point, I felt like sleeping on the sofa....

This picture is from my class gathering a few weeks ago at Flaming Steamboat, Sunway. It was the last gathering for us classmates before all of us go on our different paths. Aww. I'm so gonna miss them. Some of them I've known since my diploma in Melaka and somehow, I felt soo close to all of em. That night, everyone of us went a bit crazy. Haha. We played truth or dare, exchanged gifts.. And most importantly, we ate and ate since it was a buffet of seafood steamboat. Hahaaa. Our side was the busiest as we kept on taking more and more food. Ye lah, nak make it worth kan? Hahaaa.

Sooo truth or dare was pretty amazing and interesting.. we got to know most of our classmates secrets. Hahaa. Those who did dare, I totally salute them. Ada yang catwalk la, welcomed the customers la, went outside the restaurant and said 'I love you' la. Hahaa. But then, it was my turn to pick if I wanted truth or dare. "Dare, dare, dare, dare Aleza!" chimed my classmates. Hahaa. By that time my stomach had butterflies but I was tooooo chicken so I opted for truth instead. Hahaa. But luckily, When they were about to ask me, the waiter said that our time was up cos they booked us til 9 pm. Haha. Boohoo. So out we went.. took pictures and said our goodbyes *siniffles*. Aww I'm gonna miss you guys, you guys are totally the best! : ) My univeristy years have been so colourful because of each and every one of you :)

2010-11-15T03:02:00.002+08:00

From the wise words of Gun's n Roses:

Just a little patience.. just a little patience...

I think I should take up yoga to keep me calmed. Not that I'm not calmed right now.. I can be quite..fidgety if you could say? Breathing exercise.. Breathe in, breathe out.

Au revoir! :)

2010-11-15T02:35:00.002+08:00

My tummy really hurts cos I've been feeding myself crap stuff today.

But really yummy crap stuff.

Like chocolate dipped fruits... yummmmmmmmmmmsssss.

So I just found out about Ryan Higa (I know, I'm sooo lambat). He made me laugh so hard til my chest hurts. Yeah, he's that funny! :)

Tv junkie

2010-11-13T01:53:00.002+08:00

I am in my holiday right now and I am currently glued infront of the laptop watching tv shows online. Haha. There's two shows that I absolutely can't miss: How I Met Your Mother and The Vampire Diaries. OOOHH and not to forget : Married to Rock! Hahaa.

I wasn't a fan of How I Met Your Mother at first, but now, I can't stop watching! And I find Neil Patrick Harris a.k.a Barney Stinson so so adorable! Aww. Can I just pinch his cheekssss? :D Hmmm... Ted Mosby's perfect wife is someone who loves Star Wars. I LOVE STAR WARS. Ugh, Ted Mosby should marry me to finish off the showww. I get soo impatient watching that show sometimes cos I realllllyyyy want to know who the wife isssssssssssssssss. :)

Ahh don't get me started on The Vampire Diaries. Hot vampires, like hello? Need I explain more? haha. :) And now, the originals are popping up.. ooh the plot thickens..

Well, something to do during the hols! Trying not to be too unproductive, I'm currently reading Sherlock Holmes. So oklah, balance my brain a bit. Well, toodles. Need to sleep cos I'm soooo sleepy!

Sulky sulkerson

2010-11-13T01:11:00.003+08:00

I don't know if it's just me.. but I don't understand people who sulk. I don't understand why some people can sulk about something so small and make a big deal out of it.

And I don't understand how some people can make something small such a big problem. Or is it I'm too laidback?

And, I am seriously amazed at people who can sulk for days, sometimes weeks cos I'm not the sulky type. Sulking is a waste of time and energy, if you ask me.

No offense to anyone. Felt a bit cloudy. Maybe cos I'm sleepy (I can barely open my eyes and they're all watery and red and my head is sooo heavy. Stubborn me hihi)

Ohh, I watched the opening of the Asean Games (it's in China!) just now. The opening ceremony was sooo amazing!! Seriously.

Well, good luck team Malaysia! :)

2010-11-05T02:19:00.001+08:00

..OOHHH and Happy Deepavali to my Indian friends! :)

Phobias

2010-11-05T02:00:00.003+08:00

Have you guys watched Stephen King's "It" before?

It's a movie about an evil clown. :/

So I watched the movie just now.. I've watched it before, back when I was 6. That movie made me fear clowns. And clowns til today freak me out. And when I was watching the movie, I remembered that movie made me afraid of balloons.

I am terrified of balloons. They pop and I hate popping stuffs. I can burst into tears and my heartbeat will skyrocket if somebody hands me a balloon. Yes, it's that bad.

But when I watched It, it wasn't that scary like I remembered it to be.. I mean, I've always said that that movie made me have a fear of clowns... But, it wasn't that bad.. Well, I did watch that movie when I was 5 or 6, little kids are supposed to be afraid when watching horror movies kan?

You rock Ben! I mean, terer lah u! :)

2010-11-03T03:38:00.002+08:00

Look at what I found!

I was fb-ing and I saw my friend "Liked" his page. So so cute. An American guy speaks Malay. Heheee. He speaks in a different slang though, most of us don't speak like that here :) Good job Ben! You rock!

Enjoy! :D

Finally I have finished my thesis (well, I have to submit the first draft by next week.. but still, at least I've finished it right?) and my financial PR's assignment! I am so relieved right now.. I feel like a huge burden has been taken off from my back.. and I can sleep early now.. I'm so happy!

Now, all that's left is Financial PR's final paper which is next week.. then I'll be freeeeeeeeeeee. And bye bye university life :/

Im gonna miss my uni life. So much memories and so many friends I have met during my years of studying.. But we'll keep in touch, kan? : ) Aww I can't believe that THAT day is actually coming.. the day I finish up my studies (hopefully).

Well, next semester would be my last and I'll be going for my internship. Basically it's like working la kan? omg. time really flies.

2010-10-16T22:13:00.002+08:00

I had been suspected of dengue.

Soo, naturally I had to go for a bloodtest.. 5 days in a row.. omg. Not that I'm afraid of needles or nething but it's seriously tiring.. Towards the end I was breaking into cold sweats when the needle was sticking in my hand.

And the worse part is, the nurses said that I had small veins and it was hard to find em so basically they've been sticking the needle almost everywhere on my hands. Eeks.

Soo yeay right now my platlet count is high and no moreee bloodtest yeay :) But I have sore throat though and it's KILLING me. Other than that, I'm a bit weak but all in all I'm all fine and dandy! :)

p/s i like looking at my blood flowing out in the tube thingy. It's so pretty! (ok, is this too weird? :p)

2010-10-13T01:02:00.001+08:00

Another bloodtest! :/

And I'm still sick! 4 days of fever.. go away please I have such a busy week ni :(

2010-10-11T00:49:00.003+08:00

So I'm sick right now....

My fever was really high yesterday.. 102 degrees temperature to be exact. Boy I couldn't get up at all..

Luckily my temperature has gone down after eating some meds.. but I'm still sick :/ and tomorrow I have a final test! Uwaa. This sucks.

Well, better rest up. Byebye.

Last minute changes

2010-10-07T02:23:00.002+08:00

I think I'm doing such a crazy thing now..

I am changing my thesis title! omg.. last minute change because the previous title, a total dead end cos there's not much research about it here. So i've decided to take a new turn..

But I guess it's ok, Ive already gotten the materials for my 'new' title..

I just hope I can.. Eee. I think I can go bald if I let myself get all stressed up!

I seriously need a massage right now.. :/

2010-10-06T01:48:00.003+08:00

Damn.

I need to get out from here.

I really need new surroundings.

I feel the need to be alone and be independent. Something out of my comfort zone so that I won't get too dependent which I can be sometimes..

Geez. This is complicated.

Namaste!

2010-10-05T00:25:00.003+08:00

Yesterday night was Bollywood night..

In the meanwhile during class today...

I was bored. Look at my tired face. :/

Tata and take care lovelies : )

Nite-nite.

2010-10-02T05:07:00.002+08:00

5.11 am! Wuhooo.

I just stopped answering these annoying set of questions from a case study. Ughh. Case studies are soooo annoying.

(I am in a verryyyyy negative mood lately so bear with me..)

I am so worried for my internship, I just hope that they'll accept the application.. Wuaaa. Time's running out and please Mr/Miss Internship people, please please accept me.

Ok, I'm not making any sense right now.

But before hitting that "send" button in my email, my heart was pounding like mad. I was so nervous. I triple (more than triple, its like quadruple double triple) checked the resume making sure everything is alright. I am very worried and nervous..

At least a sure spot for my internship would scratch off one thing that's bugging me.. Haih.

I'm full of worries right now. I need to see the sun and all I can see are the clouds.

Ohh, waking up in the morning is soo lovely cos it's sooo cold and I'll wrap myself with ze comforter and would not want to get up from bed! I'll even go back to sleep... Awww. Me likey cold weather ;)

Nite-nite lovelies :)

I am feeling a bit blue. sigh

2010-09-28T01:32:00.004+08:00

I have so many big dreams for myself and I really really hope that these dreams can be achieved. I sometimes fear if the dreams I set for myself are too big for me to reach.. and I am so afraid of getting frustrated cos I might not get them.

You get what I'm trying to say?

Maybe I'm just overreacting cos I am having such a hard time on my thesis. A bit stressed out. I have not allowed myself to think about this as I have been putting like a wall, running from the problems that I am facing. Now, I feel like these walls are starting to break and slowly the stress and uneasiness are creeping in... this is not good. :/

Nothing can be achieved with stress.

I just hope I get through this semester.

No wait, I just hope I get to finish this thesis, period.

Chocolate dipped heaven ; )

2010-09-27T03:32:00.003+08:00

Went swimming with the family earlier today and it was such great fun..! (and tiring as well..) Brought little children with us, Audrene, Maira and baby Arman.. they were sooo excited! Kids just love the water! :)

Then I went to meet up with some friends at Chocolate Lounge at the Curve.. Wow oh wow.. the chocolate there.. They got chocolate dip with strawberries and bananas and kiwies and..oranges! Well, I went out the lovely store with a happy face.. cos chocolates make me happy! :)

Still don't believe how happy I'll get?

Tadaaaaaaa. Happiness. Yummyy. : )

I look kinda tired in that pic.. well, I did came back from swimming and I was super tired..

Well, think better be off. It's really late and I've got class tomorrow..! Chiaoossss.

; )

Bye-bye Lovelies

Twitterty Twittertuff pooot! :D

2010-09-26T02:10:00.003+08:00

Haha.

After neglecting my twitter for sooo long, I am active again! Hhaahaa.

(I couldn't remember my password, that's why I was not active..)

Wahaha.

Yeayyy :D

eeeee.

2010-09-22T10:53:00.003+08:00

I am currently hooked up with How I met Your Mother right now. I think the casts are just sooo cute! :D

I watched it before but I stopped following it and now, I just can't stop watching! haahaa...

I have soo many work piled up right now I don't know where to start.. Well no, actually not that many but my thesis.. my thesis is driving me crazyyyyyyyy la weiii.

And why am I extra lazy this semester??? The last semester should make me more driven to do work! And I'm becoming the total opposite! UGH.

Piranhaaaa.

2010-09-14T00:29:00.002+08:00

Piranha was.. uhmmmmm.

Uhmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

*Thinks for a while*

..interesting.. It's pretty gruesome though. Bloody, like realllyyy bloody. I cringed, and I covered my eyes with my little hands.. and watched the screen as those poor people (actors..) get bitten and eaten by those evil little meat eating fishies. The fishies (err piranhas) aren't these cute fishies like Flounder (from the Little Mermaid where fishies and half humans lived happily), they're these really evil fishies with evil faces and evil razor sharp teeth!

And they attack in groups. Great. Group evil fishies attacking people. Seriously gruesome. I kinda like it! Heheheee.

BUT I don't like the ending though.

Kkkk. So now I wanna watch Resident Evil: After Life. I've been waiting for that movie since EVER. Anything with chicks (like us) kicking evil people's ass is fine by me! :)

Ohh, if anybody wanna watch a movie with kicking ass watch lah King of Fighters! But boooo no Leona! I loved using Leona when I played that game.. Ohhh I used Mai Shiranui too, she's the main character! :) In the game their quite noisy though..

Ook, so now I wanna buy Playstation.. I wana play King of Fighters... :(

Patience is IMPORTANT.

2010-09-12T00:41:00.003+08:00

Oooooooook. Learning the piano is definitely NOT easy. I finished book one in just a day. And now, I need book two and my little niece is using it!

Hmm I have to buy a new one for myself...

Youtube-ing songs played with the piano definitely made me want to ace this more and more! I even googled up if one could start playing the piano at 22. And yessss one could! But the thing is, I get soo impatient and a bit frustrated.. Eeeeish. No wonder I stopped for a long long time because I could not handle the stress.

Ok, this is where I am so so soo wrong. Playing the piano should not be stressful but it should be fun. If I get stressed up, I won't be able to learn so I am taking this very slow.. But ugh taking it slow makes me feel bored pulak. I guess what I should put in my head is: TO NOT BE TOO AMBITIOUS.

Eeee. Don't be tooo ambitious, Aleza. Aaaaaa. But I wanna play like those people who could play the pianooo. You know, where their fingers are dancing on the piano. They're so good! I know I can, I just know it!

But I have to be reaalllly patient. That's all. Patience is key here.

Okay, this post is like a pep talk for myself.

Reflections.

2010-09-11T04:46:00.003+08:00

Eid was as usual in ze house.

Woke up early.

Helped mom in the kitchen.

Watched Raya programs on tv.

Eat.

Played half of My Heart Will Go On and Scarborough Fair on the piano repeatedly. I think the family's a bit tired of those songs cos I keep repeating them again and again. Hahaaa. (since I don't know how to play any Raya songs so those will do. Haha.)

People came.

Eat again.

Slept for a while.

Wake up and eat again.

Again, guests came.

Eat somemore.

Went out with my friend.

Came home.

Watched tv.

Now, I can't sleep.

Haha. And after a day of eating, I still feel hungry. Rawrrr. I dunno why.

I love Eid. Mom makes these delicious traditional food.. This year was Soto on my demand! :D So apa lagi? Eat and eat and eat lah! And she made chocolate cake too.. I couldn't stop eating... D:

The refrigerator in my house has never been so full.. My brother's friend came and brought cheese cake! And my sister in law after visiting her dad, brought back cakes too! It's like a cake shop here now..

Oh well, after a month of fasting, I should eat and eat kan? The first day of eating during the day (the end of the fasting month I mean) day, I always feel somewhat guilty for eating.. like ehhh can I eat? Ohh wait, fasting month is..OVER, so can eat. Haha. I guess the month made me feel used to not eating so when I could eat and eat, I'll feel a bitttttttt guilty like ehhhh boleh ke? Haha. I know, silly me.

(Wow, I used a lot of "eat" huh? Yikes.)

There's nothing more I love then having my family around me during Eid. But bummer, sister's in Pahang, visiting her husband's side of the family so they're absent today.. I can't wait to give my little nieces their duit raya when they get back! Aww. Little baby nephew already got his.. he was soo happy.. Well, not cos of the money.. cos he got to hold things.. well, at least he's happy :) Made me think and reflect on myself.. 22 and already an aunt to 3 kids. 3. Wow. Time flies. Feels like yesterday I was THE kid in the family. But now, I'm an AUNT. Family's growing and I'm growing too...

Anyway, for those who do not know what Selamat Hari Raya means, I'd like to wish a very Happy Eid Mubarak! Drive safely everyone.

Happy Aidilfitri! :)

2010-09-09T00:01:00.006+08:00

Wuhoo almost Hari Raya..and the end of a whole month of fasting!

The atmosphere now is sooo festive (ok lah, probably not SOOO festive, but you can totally feel it.. like Hari Raya songs.. Lemang, Ketupat, kuih Raya sold everywhere..)

What I like most about Raya is these babies...

Lemang! The round ones.. Oohh they're the best.. and eaten with mom's Rendang.. yummyy.

Ohh ok ok, something out of topic: I love my hatttt. See the facebook badge on the right side. I lovelovelove.

Haha. Me playing around with the piano that I just started learning back (after uhmmm taking a break for A LOT of times..) That hat gives me errrr musical inspiration. Huhaha. :p

Anyhoots, I'd like to take this opportunity to wish Selamat Hari Raya and Maaf Zahir Batin to friends and people who know me! I love all of you! Ooh and have a great Raya!

P/S. Raya food is the bestttt. :)
