What a way to start new year. It just dawn on me that your own people of the same religion are capable of hurting u, regardless of that formidable pleadge: All Muslims are brothers (and sisters). I think my heart just skipped many beats when suddenly the late Saddam fell when the platform below him opened. I hope nobody post this video on their blog because I think that will be insensitive. And to think that it was done even on Aidiladha to fit the 'sacrifice' theme? It's unfathomable.
Yeah. New year is here. Big deal. I still feel the same. And yeah. It is a stepping stone to start anew. But still the past will always be there to haunt me. Say goodbye to all those hurt, pain, misunderstandings, confusion (a lot of this one though) and lies, even though some of these miraculously happened within, 3 weeks?
I have always had a thing for my past. I actually have some uncle and some aunts of sorts from my real dad's side whom do not know I exist and that I never met them before because they live in Malacca. But they do know that my parents last time (referring to when my real mum and dad were together), have 2 sons. I came late. :D. By the time I was born and by 5, things start to crumble, so thus no more Malacca visiting to meet these aunts and uncles. But they do know that my parents were not together anymore. And I learnt that I have an aunt who passed away because was strucked by lightning etc from my real mum and some from my stepmum. And when I look at dad, I felt for him. He NEVER talks about his family or history or whatever. And the sadder thing is that I have to learn it from someone else. So I told myself that I MUST visit these long lost relatives before I get married.
I want to have the complete addresses and pictures of my previous houses which I stayed before. Clementi, twice in Toa Payoh and now Bedok Reservoir. Most or should I say all of my childhood memories, angst, cries and hurt were recorded by that Toa Payoh place. Mum said I only managed to live in Clementi till I was 6 months old and we moved. We moved to a big flat at Toa Payoh and Mummy also sent me to granny's house in Toa Payoh also. While and after the divorce, I spent most of my time at granny's before moving to a smaller flat at Toa Payoh also, this time, with a new dad.
Since varsity students will have 3 months break next year, I would like to take this period to complete my resolutions.
- Go around and visit all the places that I lived in.
Take pictures of the houses, the place, the playground, the shop that I always go for chocolate balls, the big drain that always stare back at me. The huge trees that I always look at while waiting for mummy to fetch me from granny's. The shop at granny's house which I never fail to buy OVALTINEES with a 50-cent given from my late Pakistani grandad before my Pertapis school bus came. I remembered that the shopowner from the time his hair was pitch black to the time when he had grey hair and then suddenly, his shop was no more. One big thing I regret is that I never manage to record all these and that now, these places have changed. Even the block signboards are prettier!
-Take up driving license. Yeah, yeah. Laugh at me please.
-Master Beriyani recipe from mummy, the ORIGINAL INDIAN style.
-Go on a Holiday to Bangkok or Phuket or Korea or anywhere which I can take the airplane. Malaysia too near lah.
-Visit real dad's villages which I heard from stepmum, he never visit them anymore.
On and how was my Aidiladha? It was a little bitter as I received some nags from aunts because of this guy. They told me not to befriend him because of some furore from his side. I asked him but he said nothing of the sorts. As much as I want to believe him, words have been exchanged and that nothing can be recovered anymore. The atrocious thing is that there is totaly nothing between us but our families are causing a stir. This is real bad. The moment I knew that we are somehow related, I knew that this ain't gonna go anywhere. I don't even want to be his friend anymore. I think I am beginning to appreciate D's family more.
Of course, what's a new year and Raya without my vain picture?
Oh I forgot. How could I left out that 'Must be more hardworking and happy' resolution? Bah

Oh and what's up with the world? The haze, blackout, non-stopped rain, (hey, our geographic postition on Earth is not to be blamed hokay? Oh and just so you know, we are right smack on the belt of the tropics) flash floods and.....Saddam Hussein was hanged. Sigh. I seriously do not know what to conclude about him. But I don't need to worry about it because there will surely be a biography on the late Saddam soon. I'm as confused as everyone. Even doc bro can't answer my question. So I asked Hafriz.
Jannah® says:

Jannah® says: ohh
Jannah® says: now i rmmbr
Jannah® says: he was seen as a baddie pasal dia asyik nk peran
Jannah® says: *perang
kemananya..teman setia? says: ahh
So there. May he rest in peace. Let's leave the judgement to Allah lah eh.
Am collecting nice pictures to add to my 'redbook of my life'. Here is some of them that I placed in already. I soo lurve montages. All I need is more pictures of my newly made friends from NIE, NTU, blog, etc. You know who you are!
To those eagle-eyed readers. Yes that's D. He deserves a place in my scrapbook, thank you.
To Nurizz: Yeah. Some pictures might bring you memories. Debaters 2001 of Berita Harian!! :D
Cheers to the new year, stronger friendship and more happy things. Still thinking of my new year resolutions.

Ho Ho Ho! Elisya caused an uproar this afternoon. Since today is Christmas and that other people may be having roast turkey, Elisya had something in mind. She went home with an almost dead BIRD. Yes, she's a hunter, alright. She just wanedt us to roast it and have a Christmas dinner together with it or something. Mummy was shrieking at her and when mummy picked up that 'still-alive' bird, Elisya quickly jumped at Mama and snatchd the bird away. She then brought it out to 'play' outside. She won't eat the bird but she loves to catch them. Same goes for lizards and rats. Weird. READ: ELisya is that fatty bom-bom black and white cat of mine
Oh and she just made me laughed, like really a lot. read on.

This auntie know about our, err, situation, no thanks to D. His auntie had a heart-to-heart talk with me, which made me feel like slaughtering D. I was soo pissed, that I ended up jabbing those mid fingers in front of his face (I NEVER did that before, I swear). He apologised profusely because he didn't see it coming. My pride was scarred. Deep. Apologies won't bring back my pride. Mana nak letak muka ni ah D?
Put on a moodless face the whole remaining day. I told him that now he knows WHY I did not even wanna go initially. Again, my instinct was RIGHT. I feel like when I just wanted to give myself and himself a second chance, shit happens.
Me: "Now after all that mumbo jumbos, you think we share the same vision (his auntie said about vision n stuff)?"
D: "No!"
Me: "Ok, so why are you still after me?"
D: "Because I love you. F them all!"
Me: *stunned-but-expected-a-bit-also kinda look*
Heart over mind matter? Or not.
PS: Lot, chill lah. I'm not offended. at all. But so sweet of you to think of that. Hehe. But it's so not you ok.

Wah finally I can upload my montage!!!! Using .gif format (thanks Hazami). But still the colouration sucked. don't know why. Initially, my problem is that, the montage initially, thoug small in size, showed colour errors (whole thing turned bluey) when uploaded through here. When I tried using photobucket, worst, it uploaded but showed 'x' sign. Tried villagephotos, imageshack and whatnots. Still the 'x' sign. Some help from you guys will be much appreciated.
I was almost alright if not for some messages that I gotten early evening. Though the story has been closed since the night before, it was still bleeding a wee bit and now finally the wound has been stitched. Things happen for a reason and no one is to be blamed. Also, no one should blame me too. I'm human with feelings an the only way to prevent me from having feelings of any sort (no specific feelings hokay!) is for me to stop my heart from beating. Only then EVERYONE should be happy.
New year is approaching and I do not want to make stupid mistakes again. Nor I do not want people to make errors BECAUSE of me. But ironically, TO ERR IS HUMAN. so the more you err, the more you are human, indeed? Nah, that is just an effing excuse for us to make more mistakes. We learn from history. And when we do, we must move on, and not be left behind. But I think I was left behind big time.
Taking this opportunity to wish Barkathnisha a happy 21st Birthday. Thank you for all your support during my hardtimes in school. And Thank you too for your quick information that results were out yesterday!! And yeah I do miss Hamidah as well, my other pillar in NIE We must VISIT HER, as I fear that we might not be seeing her around school, though I really hope she would be returning!!!. What is happening to us? I don't want this friendship to be broken. If not, I will be broken once again. for the next 3.5 years. :'(
Apologies if I sound harsh and too emotional. This is, again, my train of thoughts, ain't it? And yes, I can't stop myself from thinking too much. :o(

I know that everything in life would not come smoothly, served hot on a golden platter. Even if you wish to do something good. Just taken my sahur and I can't sleep because of this.
Young auntie (we call her Uteh as in putih, which means white, or Mak Uteh because she is very fair) is going for Haji (Mecca) like in a few hours time. Her flight is at 0500hrs, the 23rd. Quite a lot of trials and tribulations she had been to I would say. Like how she just underwent her operation last 2 weeks due to an inherited problem in which mummy also faced before. This in turn, added another reason of why I can just forget about marrying as I do not wish my offsprings to have it, apart from that infamous migraine inheritance (and don't let me start on real dad's side of fair share in this inheritance problem). Why am I saying this? Because I am showing the same symptoms. Mummy assured me it is nothing (rrriiiight) and it's about time that I will be under the knife soon. Dear God.
Also of her being out of job. Her company closed down as they are opening in HK but they left a huge amount for aunt as she as been working there for so long. She will need to look for a new one after her trip. I hope everything will turn out fine. or so I thought. Because I did have this funny feeling of someting would go wrong. and it did.
Stepdad, also a customs officer (that's how mummy met him, at their workplace but mummy resigned like, 13 years ago) had asked mummy to confirm with Uteh if she has gotten her permit. She said yes and that everything was set. But I think Uteh misunderstood what the permit refers to. You see, in Islamic law, a lady must be accompanied by a muhrim (someone who has blood ties with her) when travelling. The Saudi Arabian rules did not allow a lady, under 45 years old, to come to their country, alone (in tours or groups does not count). To do this, the lady must get a permit from the Arabian customs. The thing is, it isn't easy to get the permit. True indeed, granny called few hours ago to inform mummy that Uteh's travel agent told her that she might not be able to go. At this very moment, she is still crying. The travel agent will appeal and stepdad assured us that MUIS will surely ensure everyone will go. No idea how MUIS gonna do it. Yes, should she can't go, she will get all her money back but that's not it. It's the mental and spirit preparation that will be the main reason of her utter disappointment, like duh? One would be soo mentally prepared to go there and practically be with God and when this happens just when she is about to enter the gate, it will surely broke her spirit. And I can't take anymore sad news. Enough already. I am easily affected by environment. This isn't good.
I am also mentally prepared to send her off. But am still waiting for a final confirmation. Please let her be blessed, God, let her be with You on that holy ground. And we are all here, praying for her.

Kewl lah~ I was at Geylang's Tanjong Katong Complex when the blackout happened. Was trying on my new pantsuit when it happened. Went out and saw the traffic lights not working. Even the Geylang market was in total darkness. Saw that security policeman of Golden Chance scurrying here and there too. Mummy, being an ex customs officer, was saying stuff like 'Yeah the customers will not be let off from their premises cos they might take away some goldWas even more shocked when Channel 5 news said that there are other parts in Singapore which were affected as well, like CCK and aroung Beach Rd area. A check with the shopkeepers at TKC said that this is the first time TKC experiencing blackout. Senoko gonna face some major fines I guess. But still life goes on.
Ok so, Wednesday's higlight. Seriously lah, major moolah kapoot is just nearby (read: money finishing) Ate at Ramen Ten which were initially 4 of us as the other 2 joined later during the movie. Oh and movie was funny! Though I slept for a few secs during it. Prrffft, no thanks to late nights. Night at the museum was lighthearted. I think I prefer Tenacious D. Ate Swensens ice cream after movie. Not happy with the 'create your own sundae' because the helping was small.
To Kamal: sigh. Since she never say anything about pursuing, you are saved. for now. But try to prepare a script if she brought it up. Just don't break her heart ok! And jangan confused2 sangat cos it is actually simple.

Finally completed my 2nd project. Project collage 21. Have selected lots of pictures from various cameras and painstakingly used Photoshop CS 2 to scrambled them together.
(arrghh. apparently blogger and photobucket refused to upload it..later)
Moving on. Mummy wasn't herself today. She would have NEVER asked begged me to buy clothes as she ALWAYS nag by saying "Ah beli lagi baju, lama-lama almari tu roboh. Nanti kau mati aku tanamkan sekali baju kau dengan kasut2 kau sekali!" (Ah buy some more clothes. When you die I will bury you with your clothes and your shoes as well!). And I will reply by saying "Alah da roboh puuun."
But today she went to Geylang again (she went 2 days ago) and bought lots of stuff from this shop at TKC named 'Blaus'. She begged me to buy this pantsuit as I will look damn nice in it. Pink colour by the way. She went on by praising me how I will look hot with my nice hip n all, and that as I am fair (I am fair meh? I'm yellow seh), that 3 tone pink will look soo nice on me. Her correct words were "Haaah, Jannah please lah beliii, kau pakai lawa sehhh. Kau kan tinggi, ramping. Abih kau pakai pink lagi lawa punya!! Pakai sama2 pink lah nanti raya haji mak pun pakai pink!". She bought a brown coloured one but will not be wearing that on Raya Haji. So she asked me to buy the same suit but pink in colour. She told me got turqouise summore!!! Damn. Which one now?!!
I said nonchalantly "Alah, ape ni mama, kan mama suruh Jannah sep duit aperrr." (mum, thought you want me to keep my money?). SO yeah, will follow her this Thursday, together with Mak Long dearyy!!~~
Some fun facts. I was laughing so hard when mummy told me this. Mummy said that last time my doc bro (Captain COck Sparrow, if you are reading this, DON'T U DARE BREATHE A WORD TO DR. ISHAM OK!!! If not I won't help you ask Isham what drug is for what functions anymore ok!) was called goldfish! And then when she met up her old colleagues, they all asked about her son, the goldfish. And she went proudly "Goldfish is now a doctor!". They were all awed and have stopped referring to him as Goldfish. He was called as such because he got big eyes and snowy cheeks. I too was called Goldfish when I was in Kindergarten, but I got addtional nicknamed as 'jongang' as my teeth were bunny-like last time. The funny thing is that, dentist never said that I need to wear braces!!! But when I looked back at his old photos, where got goldfish one?
By the way, remember Ain (my roomie) where she clipped my bunny? There was more to it! prffttt

lolness. Ain's younger brother were having a great time with my soft bunny and cat! tsk tsk. I retaliated by doing this

Before I begin, Here is the link to my 21st birthday party peektures
http://nurjannah.multiply.com/photos/album/2
I think my small cuzzies gonna have very fond memories in years to come. My aunts were so 'on' that they rented a care bear costume. During my growing up years, there would always be this brown bear suit worn by my joker uncle at birthday parties. And I guess the tradition still continues. It was ironic as the tummy on the pink care bear was labelled 'Cheer Bear' and not 'Care Bear' though it looked identical to a real care bear, with the rainbow on its tummy.
Happy Birthday to Nasrin Syazwina!!! May Allah bless you. Stay cute and small always!
Ok so who is in that suit? It's my joker uncle, or 'manja-ly' called' as cik Usop. He is this boy's father. SU, Dada and Shad know this boy verrry well.
Since it was a sunat + bday event, of course, this is the fortunate boy. I didn't know that cutting of that small skin from uhh, ehem ehem, was a big deaaaaal. walking ambling around.

I purposely did not update my blog as I wanted you guys to savour the videos previously. Then I shall move on.
My IBM R40 is back wit me, thank you Kamal! But my 'H' key isn't working properly so pardon my spellings. That group outing with *insert smiley here* yesterday was a blast, though I was quite most of the time *cough cough*. Special thanks to Huda and Ghani (Su's ehem ehem =P) for making the situation very lively as these two are always at each other's throat. There were 3 fish n chips and a sea scroll pasta (aka Mee Hong Kong. hurhur. Huda's btw) on the table, accompanied by earthquake and choco sumting2 (Huda la ni yg ordered pandai2 for herself) for desert. Let the pictures do the talking.toy going to be replaced digi cam. I think this pic is nice =P.
So what did I do today? You won't believe it seh. Mummy has been pestering me since forever to trade my coin styled gold bracelet for something else because she said that my hand is bigger and that Gold is now a good time to trade, but not buy. And when I tried on my bracelet before exchanging, good lord! I can still fit? THis shows that my arm will be like, forever SKINNY. And so at Golden Chance the salesperson weighed my bracelet and it was 9++ g. But after taking away 18% (it's like their profit or so), he rendered the weigt to be of only 6++ g. I tell you, never in my life that I realised that it was soooooo troublesome to find the right type of gold (mixed with 916 white gold as I despise totally gold stuff, I'm referring to gold as in original gold. I do not know why but I prefer fake gold then real gold. weird.) Given that he (the salesperson), must find a bracelet of 6++ g was already hard, try imagine that e also need to find something short because of my skinny hand! I even tried on bracelet for kids one hokay! But almost fit, but didn't. arrghh the horror. I fell in love wit the first design that he placed on my wrist. Wah, this old chap knew my taste sia. I tried on bangles too and then tried on pure white gold but it looked cheap. lol. So I settled for a gold and white gold mixed bangle. Or so I thought. read on
SO then we looked for Nabilah's bracelet. Mama wanted to exchange everything (mine, my 2 sisters' and hers as well. hmmph. again. mama ni tak habis2). For her no size. cos her hand a bit cubby and her size all out of stock. Diaoz. Or so I thought too. and then the fickle mindedness starts. You see, mummy brought her 4 bangles to exchange with a new bracelet. After weighing, the salesperson (it's a female tis time round, change person) was having a hard time looking for te exact weight of mama's old bangles as the new bracelets are lighter. If it's lighter, they won't give you the extra in cash, and you will lose out lor. So I exclaimed, "Eh tadi if mama weigh kan skali mama nye bangles eh yang extra weight tu bole campur dgn Jannah nye bracelet weight and Jannah bole amik yg mula2 yang lawa and berat tuh!" So we asked the salesperson and se said cannot exchange as my bracelet as been issued a receipt. SO mummy said that my bangle, she would just give it to my other sis (she at home, never followed along) as her wrist is fatter then mine and I settle for my FIRST LOVE!!!! Basically buang 'current' je. Pilih sane sini at last settle for the first one. All pasal mummy lah. tsk tsk. and I only need to add 54 bux more. As they say, What's meant to be mine will be mine. Oh and in the end Nabilah settled for the only bracelet that has her size. hehe.
Oh and guys, you remember this?
My younger siblings attempted to play the above as some of doc bro's XBox CDs went missing. Old school la this nintendo! And it was there to witness my worst moments in my life (read: separation) I truly enjoyed watching my 2 eldest brothers fighting and cursing each other while playing those 2D games.
Sometimes, the person you are looking for is right in front of you. But you never realised it.

Booho. Cried like a baby until the credits rolled on pun. Oh and I was exhausted from all that crying. It's like, I can't control it. The script, the emotions, the innocent stares are just sooo..uhh..deeeeep. Maybe I reflect too much on my life so that's why I cried. Yeah, that had to be it. This is the scene where they accepted the fact that they lived in different era. And be sure to catch the last part of this video whereby Jee In revealed his parents name. This part is where Jee In met the matured Seoun of 2000. haiz... Next was be 'A moment to Remember'. Wah this one the worst!! Cried buckets till the credits! Imagine when you are diagnoes with Alzheimer's disease and you can't even recognice who you love. Ya Allah, nauzubillahi min dzalik. The lady met her 2nd love as she was forgetful of her coke at the 7-eleven styled shop. And she left him because she was forgetful too (read: diagnosed with Alzheimer's). GAWD..the script!!arghhh. I can't say much. You must watch it to feel it. sigh. The last part where she asked 'Is this Heaven?', took place at the shop where her husband took pains to reenact the scenes when they first met. Too bad I can't find the scene of how they first met. heez. Watched Fanaa too. Fanaa means destroyed. The meaning is oppsite of Baqaa' (which means forever) as in 'Asmaullah 99 . Oh and learn lots of Hindi words like: Farish: angel (eyy Farishah, nice name lah u!)
Doc bro was and still is a Jap and Korean show fan. He started watching mini Japanese series on Telly and I got hookep on it too as sometimes I just watched it with him out of boredom. See, sometimes boredom helps you to discover new things. From there I will start to block out my Wednesdays and Thurdays night, 2230hrs for Jap series. This happened when I was like, 14 and second bro in JC yr 1. Yeah, was young then. heh. So anyway, remembered watching these series which uses the hit song 'First Love' by Utada Hikaru. Can't remember the title but the lead actress was that pretty Nanako Matsushima with Takuya Kimura. now, now, you guys must have remember what Takuya Kimura looks like hokay. such a hearthrob. Oh and also that mysterious-looking Takeshi Kaneshiro. He is still actively acting now. Then there was my all time favourite 'Great Teacher Onizuka* or GTO for short!
With the help of a korean pen pal named Demi, bro managed to get the latest stuff and all. But I think he has slowed down things between them as I do not see anymore parcels from Demi. But she was with us on the photo taking session and was in one of our family portrait though. sigh.
So what costed my tears? First up, 'Ditto'. A 2000 Korean movie, about love in another dimension. Starring Kim Ha-Neul as Seoun and Yoo Ji Tae as Jee In. Seoun was a college student in 1979 at Shilla University and she stumled upon a broken HAM transistor. One night, a voice was received over that radio and she responded. On the other end of the transistor was Jee In, a student too. But the twist was that, Jee In attended the same University, but it is in the year 2000. One day, Jee In wanted to meet Seoun to lend her his 'transistors for beginners' book but they never saw each other though they waited at the same place and same time for 2 hours. One things lead to the other and that they realised the live in different era. Jee In tried to convince Seoun by telling her what will happen the next day in 1979's school history and itdid happen. Also, it Jee In realised that Seoun must have met his parents as they attended the same University and the same year with Seoun. How terribly upset was she when Jee In said that his mum was Sunmi (Seoun's best friend) and his dad was Donghee (Seoun's boyfriend). Seoun did not want to believe it but was too late as she saw several instances whereby Sunmi and Donghee met and talk but at the same time, Donghee loved Seoun. So Seoun left Donghee. And lastly, the most touchy part whereby Jee In found Seoun, who was an English professor in the year 2000. He was upset and guilty when he found out that till this day, Seoun was still alone. So Jee In tried to inform young Seoun over the transistor that she looked happy and beautiful in the near future but wanted to hide the fact that she never gotten married. Jee In saw Seoun from afar in the year 2000 but they never spoke. They just stared at each other, with a knowing look on the face. And that's it. Sigh...
Huda: God (yes huda, I'm referring to you. mesti suker eh.)
Pura: city (hence Singapura?, So there's a Hindi word in it after all)
Jan: love (Oh and Jannah is also heaven in hindi. ade error sikit.)
This one was when Zooni (played by Kajol) was still blind and Rehan (played by Aamir Khan) was a disguised tour guide and who looked so the tak handsome lah can? Turn off sia
This one is after Rehan revealed that he wasn't dead and he was on a mission. Zooni was cured of her blindness. Oh and notices that Aamir Khan here is MUCH better looking. Wanted to put in scenes for you guys but no subtitles lah. Now I'm wondering, why is it that happiness must always be accompanied with tragics?

Blogging from eldest bro's BenQ. So frustrating as not much softwares are inside. But beggars can't be choosers right? That paper thosai with Chutneyyyyyy. and mango Lassi too. We walked around Tekka market and I bought a Punjabi (or is it Bengali) suit. Aisyah was a pro as she was doing the bargaining in fluent Tamil, with her raspy voice. My eyes were all oranges and yellows after that suit-hunting. After buying it, I complained, 'oh no, mere pese nehi he!'. But that was before I realised that by midnight, we will get our pay and bonus, wee~~. Oh pic of that suit will have to wait as it is currently drying in my balcony. Will wear that on this Saturday to aunt's place Mata boleh sakit sehhh nice jinggly bangles. A Japanese looking doll wearing a kebaya with a butterfly button (those you find on Cheongsams) Black (Rani Mukherjee and Amitabh Bhachan), Fanaa (Aamir Khan and Kajol) and Mohabbatein (watched it so many timesalready but I bought it as it's like, the love story of all love story!!)
That Little India outing was a blast! Imagine that I have never visited Tekka Centre before but only passed by it while I'm in my bus rides. Yeah I know, its sad. Imagine you can see that orange balls (laddu) when the bus passes by Komala sweet shops and you can also see them if you scrutinised the mirror doors properly at Anandha Bhavan's from afar, sitting neatly on trays, waiting to be picked and gobbled. So we started our day with a hearty lunch at Anandha Bhavan.
Little India have this unique way of showcasing their goods. They just lump everything together rin a massive lump but arranged neatly on big shelves. This will make you to grab almost every colour or design of the same item.

Simply Breathtaking
[Saturday, December 09, 2006]
Eh come to think of it eh Su, yeah our human body, or specifically, the tear gland, will never stop producing tears as long as we are hydrated. But even when I feel dehydrated also I can cry a lot. hmmm.
I have a lot to say. A lot to share. A lot to show. But I shall stop here. For now. And the past is catching up on me really fast. What's up with that huh?
Thank you Yanah and Hafriz for the dinner at Sakura (now am too high to sleep after 2 Thai iced cofee!!) and jokes that were cracked along the way. Oh and Yanah, ur smaller brother so adorable lah, lain kali bawak dia lagi. Apologies to Yanah as we had to cancel our Bintan trip which was supposedly be tomorrow but due to unforeseen circumstances, we had to give it a miss. 'Afwan kathiiiran!

Blogging from Blk 35, Hall 6, level *, room ***. Yes. It's the much sought after hall in NTU and NIE as it is a stone throw's away from NTU Sports Hall. But do I sport much?nah. But I did slam dunked some shots alone at night (cool seh. time tuh tengah berani and semangat. at 10pm hokay. lights were of already) when I got a basketball of my own, once. And then it just sits there on top of my cupboard in hall, no thanks to Psychology essay, PBL presentation, tests, assignments, deprivation of sleep etc. (oh you got my drift).
Ok so anyway. Lemme start with the horrifying incident I got few hours ago (saving the fun part later). Wanted to watch movie just now but dearest Farishah and Liyana were worrying for me so I heeded their advice and go back hall. They stopped at City Hall from Orchard MRT while me at Raffles as I was heading to Boon Lay. There was this man, shall not say what race but I think you know what race I'm referring to lah eh. It was one stop away from Raffles from City Hall but I just decided to sit and few seats away from me on the same row, I vaguely saw that man and he looked at me. I thought that was it. But I saw from the MRT screen opposite that he was looking my way. And he actually left his seat to stand in front of me to look at me but I did not dare to even look at him because I was well aware of it and I just stared at the floor, action2 concentrating on the Ikea advert that says 'What is flatpacking?' and 'Why there isn't any assistants to help you?'. I got some funny and sarcastic answers for those questions while reading but my creative juices refused to flow as I was deeply disturbed by his body odour and I could practically feel his eyes on me. Ewww.
So I stood up, walk few doors away from him and alighted at Raffles. I walked all the way to the other end of the platform, hoping to lose him and I thought I did because I don't see him on the doors' reflections. But when I reached the end and turned, there he was!!OMG. I must have missed his reflections because he was actually walking s-l-o-w-l-y while me being the lipas kudung might have missed him. Damn, I underestimated him. ini tak bole jadi. When I saw him walking casually towards me and stop on the same door, the feeling was more terrifying then seeing a B for my Linguistics test result few months back! So I tried walking few more doors away on the other end because I reached one end already remember? And he actually FOLLOWED. so I walked slightly further (and yes I saw he followed again for like, the 4th time) and I asked for help from a lady (at this point I'm already trembling with fear, no kidding) I said to her 'Miss, that man is following me?" and I explained the whole thing. She looked at him and I said "It's the one in maroon?" And she said "Oh yes I could see he is looking at you expectantly, shall I accompany you to the other end then?"
The reason why I mind him following because am afraid he might follow where I am alighting. If I am alighting at Eunos nak balik nevermind. Ini hall tau! Deep shit won't it? So my strategy was to lose him somewhere. And when we were walking away, he was walking slowly but he stopped when this lady saw this guy she recognised and she introduced me as her students (she's a lecturer! Kewl~~!) And she told him my problem and when both of them turned and look at that guy, I think this asshole knew that he was busted so he stopped walking. When we reached the other end and the train came, she told me that yeah, the man never followed us and saw him entering from that door where he stopped to stand just now. When in the train I kept looking around to see if he did not actually walk in the train all the way to find me. He didn't. But I cringed at the sight of *insert race here* guy in maroon long sleeve. Funnily I have been to JP late at night and go back hall like almost 11pm but nothing happened and what's more, Boon lay is like the mother of all foreigners' influx besides the airport. Oh well.
Ok now the fun part people!! Before meeting the girls I paid hall a visit and put my stuff. I was greeted by this:
Bunny was clipped by Ain lah ni. Thanks for collecting my laundry yer. I know awak tak happy kan sebab tuh you clipped her ears kan?hehe. by teh way, that bunny was given by di. jangan nak think bukan2 eh korang. whatever.
Me and Miss Farishah. The Stansfield student studying Literature. Lurrve arguing about how crappy Sigmund Freund was and arguing away about some Lit stuff. Leeeeet lah this woman! Orang tuh nak gi London seh tak lama lagiii!
Had a lovely session with them and yeah, they know my latest story..hehe..thank you for supporting me all the way guys. Pray the best for me eh! Then we went to shop for a present for our (me and Liyana's) good friend (Farishah tak kenal lah, but nanti kiter kenalkan). While walking saw this nice shoes, at Novo. AND, I bought a Melissa! It's a name they give to each shoe type. I love this shop lah..so stylo.
Ngee Ann City was having a toys bazaar at the basement at they have Mickey, Minnie, Donald and Goofy on stage dancing and a photo session. Farishah loves them and went towards the stage to take their pics. But a guy, who was working for the photo session thingy saw her taking pics and offer us to queue and go ONSTAGE to take pics with them. Of course we were reluctant lah, paiseh. But he insisted and we went. We were last in line but saw one family behind us and we let them go first so we won't be pressurised to quickly take the photo lah. Gave one guy my digi cam and Farishah gave hers to another. Onstage I was a bit taken aback and wanted to go down as I think I'm uncomfortable with the way the cartoon characters hug and touch people around. So when Goofy and Donald saw us, I juz stood there unmoved and I think Goofy push me towards him..Lolness..While freezing for the camera, I pulled Goofy's ears and he wagged his fingers at me..haha. The same goes for Mickey and Minnie as Minnie kept touching shoulders. I pulled her nose afterwards and she again, wagged her fingers at me. So cute! Liyana was trying to conquer her fears and I truly understood how she felt. hah. Cos I almost felt that fear rushing in while onstage.
The lightings onstage sux lah. Only the characters were lighted. ape jek
So things to look forward to:
-Record of own pronunciation at Dr Deterding's office for our assignment on Phonetics soon. Skola belum bukak dah sebok2 seh. Geeee
- Little India with Nisha and Aisyah, my other good NIE friends, besides Huda Bio. heh.
- Movies with..*big smiley* ( I know that you know :op)
-Group outing with *big smiley* (you know who you are guys)
-Geylang with mummy
-Errr..hutang puasa kene bayar beb.
Oh shucks I forgot another photo.
By the way Rad. Damn I forgot to take a photo of us at my party because you were rushing!! EEEEkkkkk. But at least I have a pic of you celebrating my birthday on the REAL day itself eh. Thanks eh for the company of searching high and lows for my party clothes and staying late to chill at Kampong Glam's cafe. Oh and next time you have a history of faint and being warded to hospital, please do not hide it from me. Tell me. So I can visit you and calm your deary down.
On another note. What THE HELL is wrong with these people? Read here. thanks lah eh hafriz.
Oh Oh. I wanna watch this Hindi movie!! *wails*. and fall in love again.
[Thursday, December 07, 2006]
and hopefully a new me? Heh.
Ok got prettttty freaked out when 2 flying cockroaches came in my room. I think they came from on top of my cupboard. urrghh. Being the kancheong me, I sprayed Shieldtox like nobbody's business (but it it nobody's business, cos it's mine..duh?)
I went berserk when my repeated bg for this layout does not work out because of a pattern in the background. and when it was repeated as you scroll down, it will look like s-h-i-t, so I revamp the whole thing, almost! and I accidentally realised that I can deactivate back all my layers. yes, yes, am a n00b at Photoshop CS2. and going for the course at NIE this 14th.
Started the day feeling not so great. Didi (ex beau no. 4) called and say he wanted to pass me my present. I was soo not looking forward to it lah. Its the same feeling when I got that bouquet of flowers. (read here http://nurjannah.blogspot.com/2006_09_01_archive.html , refer to September the 14th post)
I know you guys wanna know what he gave..nah these are the pics...yes I even bother to take pics of it (before giving it back to him..I know it's cruel but who am I kidding?)
Yeah, yeah. Sue me. I know you guys must be cursing behind my back by saying how stupid I WAS to have a great guy. But I do not know the feeling of this heart of mine. It keeps holding me back. Oh whatever.
Oh yesterday was..unexpected. Hah shall not say much but had a date (yes a date) with Mr Arshad (ah korg pandai2 lah carik link dia kat this blog yer, mesti tak dapat jumpa). We watched, 'Tenacious D: In the pick of Destiny', chosen by yours truly because movie lain semua showing like, 9plus. Ok shall say no more. Confidential lerrr.
Ok mummy is nagging away and threatening to switch off the modem. Maybe I will go to hall tomorrow liao.
