paddle pop ice cream

this is how i look like during the holidays. *grunts* haha!

in the afternoon i would be a driver, picking up my niece from school then sending her to dance practice. if not, i would just sit at home, come online and bercucuk-tanam on farmville.

last night i bought paddlepop ice cream just to get some sugar in my blood. guess what, i find my cheeks glowing after licking the last drop of ice cream from the tub. nothing beats a sugar rush! :D

lately i find alot of people being stressed out about something; be it relationship, work, unemployed and other little stuff that we might just brush off as nothing. close friends coming to me, looking for someone who would just sit there and listen to them. i am here for you. i have no judgment for who you are or what you do/did, im here as a friend. i can lend you my ears and never judge you a single bit. it has never been a duty. and it is not an obligation. its just what friends do.

i'm beginning to love a program on Channel V, BackTrack. they play the nice songs, all the way from 10 years ago. here are some of my favorites:

1. U Got it Back - Usher
2. Hey Baby - No Doubt
3. Dilemma - Nelly ft Kelly Rowland
4. In the End - Linkin' Park
5. Games of Love - Santana & Michelle Branch.

i was 12 or 13 years old then. but hey! these beats still sounds good to me.

mari menari!

raindrops

yeap! it started raining like two days ago. apparently the cloud seeding was a success. and i just LOVE the rain. no more having to sweat all your body liquid away in the afternoon. even having to on the air conditioning all night. i would always go to bed with socks. even when its hot at night. tak tau kenapa tapi mesti pakai socks. pelik kan?

oh yea, saya juga suka makan durian. dubbed as the king of fruits, the lemak-y yellowish flesh is super umph i tell you! saya hantu durian. ni gambar durian yang boss belanja time kitorang pergi melawat warehouse di hulu langat, selangor. rm10 for three, so sorang dapat satu. puas hati saya dapat makan sebiji durian sorang-sorang. kebetulan colleague saya tidak sukakan durian, maka bahagian dia pun saya kebas. bwahaha! *gelak jahat berlatarbelakangkan bunyi halilintar memecah bumi*

the football season is back! oh yes, saya sangat suka! at home we'll see my dad, my brother Eddie and i chewing the sofa anticipating Manchester United's win for every match they play. last night they won 1-0 against birmingham but their game was sloppy. Daddy had a great time criticizing some of the lazy players. they missed out a few shots though which is a bummer. i predicted a 2-0 win, dad says its 2-1, but Eddie got it right.

football season: kepada mana-mana awek comel yang mempunyai boyfriend/husband yang gila bola, congratulations! this is the time for girly-girly bond with your gal pals kerana hubby-hubby tersayang sekalian akan sibuk mengunjungi the mamaks for the rounds of roti canai and teh tarik - and of course, the FOOTBALL!

so jangan kecil hati jika mereka tidak mampu melayan karenah dan rengekan anda sepanjang musim bola liga perdana inggeris ini kerana anda juga patut faham mereka punya hobi sendiri. lebih baik mereka tengok bola daripada tengok perempuan lain kan? yes, i am always right. ;)

sekali-sekala seronok juga jika anda menyertainya. be sporting! perhatikan gerak-gerinya sepanjang perlawanan. share his passions. you will find out that there is always something new to learn about him, which keep the sparks flying!

p/s: saya rindu zaman tengok bola bersama hunnybear kesayangan saya. (n_n)

hard not to love

the title has it. comel kan these two? my brother yang jaga. i went to visit my nephew the other day (actually wanting to see the bunnies). yang sekor tu completely grey with white paws. macam socks! yang sekor lagi half grey half white. comel sangat. bila i datang dekat-dekat dia buat muka kesian macam ni. aiyo! susahla macam ni.

dad wants to get me a bunny while im still home (read: unemployed). but nanti if i got a job and moved out, kesian plak takleh bawak diorang naik plane. rindula ngan my bunny Luna. i remembered she used to jump on my chest everytime i baring. nak marah tak jadi sebab dia buat muka comel. she would sit quietly on my chest. kononnye nak say hi. tapi kuku tajam gile! hoh!

im planning to get myself a sugar glider kot. sekor MYR350 for male and add another MYR30 for a female. its wild lah. i think it'll be a bit difficult to tame it. plus its freaking expensive. Aristotle pun tak mahal macam tu. elok je manje-manje. so most probably getting myself a cat (street ones. not the ones yang ribu-ribu then pemalas nak mampus). perhaps a bunny. a pair of them. so that boleh buat baby bunnies banyak-banyak, then i bagi ngan orang yang betul-betul will love them not only as a pet, but as a family.

oh yea, visitla Bubu Shelter dan series blog RNA on my list. she's my neighbor since i was 3. :) kitorang sangat suka bela pets. kalau boleh bela anjing, i think we would.

saya juga suka sesi camwhoring. dan ini kucupan separa ikhlas daripada saya.
amuah!

the demise of LongNorLatah

al-fatihah. moga rohnya dicucuri rahmat.

..."ooo parang terbang!"
..."ooo cina jatuh!"
..."ooo cina!"

these were among few of the many phrase that you can hear once you "kacau" a lady named Long Nor. she was our neighbor ever since i could remember. she was also our family's tailor. sewing dozens of baju kurung and baju melayu for the Eid.

i have a blurred memory of visiting her house when i was younger. the small garden in front of her house is full with bird cages. doves to be exact. there's a swing which i used to play on the verandah. upon entering her house, you can hear the radio blaring from the kitchen and smell the strong tobacco. she smokes. and i mean a lot! dia suka hisap rokok "apong" -what we locals call it. its the type of do-it-yourself cigarette. a plastic wrapper holding the tobacco and a smaller one inside with the thin white rolling paper. there is no filter of some sort.

there is a room reserved for her to work. a pile of colourful clothes in plastic bags in one corner, and weird looking machines at the other end. everyday she would sit here sewing and smoking. (i used to complain my baju raya smell like tobacco before the wash). but hey, her handwork is excellent. not a single baju kurung that she made for me ever has any flaw.

i remembered she used to drive a minivan. once my brother jumped out of a bush to surprise her. dan automatiknya dia terkejut, she started to "melatah" and drove her van straight into the bushes. nasib baik tak jauh. oh dear, i wouldn't want to mention the canning my brother got from mummy after that. haha!

this morning, i was awoken by the sound of people crying outside. so i got up and, its a bad news. no more Long Nor Latah. from what i heard, she fell into a drain while talking a walk yesterday evening. doctors suspected she had a stroke and fell. accidentally hitting her back skull at the edge of the drain. that was the actual cause of death.

few nights ago, i had a nightmare. i lost one of my tooth. in some cultures (whether you're superstitious or not, just hear me out for a while), it means there will be a death some time. i dont know whether to believe this, but usually i never tell anyone about my dreams. until something happened which i can relate to it. believe it or not, your call.

i will always miss the arwah. few years back, she came to visit and managed a strong tobacco-scent hug on me. she said she loved me and told stories of how naughty i was. i never get to say a proper goodbye.

stroke is cruel.

p/s: eat healthy. live healthy.

up,up and more haze!

ah yes, the headline on today's newspaper. decrease in air quality throughout sarawak. the air quality index shows a reading of 115 which is unhealthy. what sickens me is that the parties responsible to actually work the solutions for these are busy "arranging another meeting to further discuss these issues,".

oh.my.god. how can you find a time to "arrange" another girly-girly sleepover when its so unhealthy to go out and about? why cant you just actually sit down and order more people to go up there and actually seed those puffy clouds for more rain to clear the haze?

and another oh. my. god for using another MYR20k just to build an "observatory tower" to monitor the conditions. why in the world would you need to MYR20k of observatory tower to tell you its hazy out there. an ant in the grounds can tell you for free! do something about it dammit!

and people burning bushes for crops ain't helping either. people please, its dry spell right now, with the extra smoke in the air wont help your plants grow healthier. why you lazy bums wont just clear the bushes manually using parangs or sabits or cangkuls or whatever tools you have in hand instead of taking the easy way out by burning it. i was cruising in Bandar Baru Permyjaya just now only to find its hazy there and a few hotspots just beside the road. i went off the road into another taman perumahan and pusing-pusing tengok rumah cantik (this is my current hobby) for about another 15minutes. when i exited to the highway, i saw a fire engine passed by and slowed down to the roadside to give way. it would be a bit tough to tone down the fire because i understand that most of the soil here are of peat soil. even if you cleared the surface, its still burning hot down there.

one other thing that made me swear out loud, drivers who dont use their signals!! god dammit, please use them! why invent a signal when you DONT USE THEM? astaga~~

oh yea, just for the fun of it and for the sake of Azfar's plight, i will tell you what actually happened in Chilli's last saturday.

Syamim had the bookings for 5 but we had to wait another painful 40minutes to be seated. i grabbed myself a new sequined pumps from Vincci. ahem. impulse buys. sigh. i know. not healthy. ah well, when we got back to Chilli's, syamim asked for a smoking seat because, i dont have to explain myself here. the lady behind the counter look at each one of us and said "may i please look at your ICs,". so when we took it out, thats when she said,"oh, bukan semua. adik ni saja. (while pointing at me),"

WAAAAAAHHHHH!!!! do i look like an underaged? cant she tell i am far mature than i appear to be and, ahem! these perfectly engineered boobs of mine peeking from the purple satin dress i wore? oh. too many details. sorry, a bitch is just trying to play with your imaginations. when finally they let us all in. kurengs ko azfar. suke eh dapat chance nak bahankan aku? :P bluekk. takpe. takpe. oh yea, just so u know, ada sorang mamat cina pandang slack kau sebab tak sengaja terreverse kat badan awek dia. huhu!

for those who dont know me, you might think im like 18 or 19, or even worse once a family friend thought i just completed my PMR;actually im 22 people! legal age for "fun and excitement". ngahaha!

something before i stop,

CAN YOU SUCKERS OUT THERE PLEASE - FOR THE LOVE OF GOD- STOP CAUSING BUSHFIRES!!!

LOVE THY BUSHES AND CLEAN AIR!

p/s: not all female drivers are bad drivers. peace out!

back home

ah yes. im back home in miri sarawak. its hot here. really. i woke up with a weird taste in my mouth. i think i chapped my lips so bad it started bleeding. i remembered seeing forest fires from the flight last sunday. since im flying in the night, the fire is extra bright with clouds of smoke tailing it.

only a day back home, im already starting to miss the workplace. its bad to wake up at 7am and going back to sleep just because you dont have to go to work. haha! its nice actually to be able to kick back and relax for a while. but im guessing i cant stand this for too long. im the one who would always go about doing something, or should i say, looking for trouble. well, not all the time, but most of it. ;)

i deposited my CV at the company where i interned for about 10weeks before heading back home. the managing director is pleased to know im interested in working with them because the projects are piling in and they're in need of a new crew member soon. so im crossing my fingers waiting for the good news. a little bird told me that the recruitment would be sometime before end of this year, so lets just wait and see ya.

a recent gathering with fellow coursemates who's interning in kL turned out to be a perfect end for this summer internship. its a small party of 5 at Chilli's kLcC, thanks to Syamim who tried all his might nak kumpul semua orang supaya datang but too bad some of them ada unavoidable issues to settle. tapi sangat best okay. we were talking about workplace and the people there when we went quiet for a breath, that's when i blurted out, "whow, we sound matured,". and so i proposed a toast, thank god for the good year, and more to come!:)

oh yea, just so you know, lately i got my alter ego back. the bitchy Anne. i havent done this in a long-long-long-long time but i think it would be nice to have her back once in a while. she's much stronger inside out, extra spicy with the bitchy attitude and always having the itch to have some fun/adventure.

more updates on the bitchy Anne soon.

p/s: i dont forgive. and i never forget. rawr!
