take a step into my world

no fun on Feb 14th 2012 for me

2012-02-12T10:24:00.004Z

Although I don't celebrate Valentine's Day but ever since I was 15, I would plan to do something fun on that day. since everyone seems to be all lovey-dovey. I thought i'ld share some friendship love with my friends.

I would either go out with my friends or have them over for dinner and just chill and laugh around.

However, this year. I don't think there's gonna be any fun mojo going on, on the 14th. It's a weekday and i would be tired by the time i get home, also i'ld have to get up early the next day for work. It's not the same like back in uni where my friends & I would sleep at 4 or 5am because we are still at my room laughing our asses off and we would all make it to our 9am lecture.

Damn, i really miss those days. boo~

I'll just hope it's going to be a fine day then.

no spongebob, not this time. :|

A story about a ...

2012-02-05T00:23:00.008Z

"guess" what this post will be about.. LOL

So, I had a group coursework when i was in my 2nd year. There were four of us in the group and one of the group members is a guy from Ukraine. The first time when my other group member introduced him to the rest of us, he just gave a hello, no smile, no shaking hands and straight away sat down. I got the impression that he's not a fun type then. BUT I WAS WRROONNGGG.

After that first time of us all knowing who is who, we had our first group meeting and i guess he warmed up himself with the group. The following meetings after that he will always do something that never fails to make me laugh. He is such a fun person to be with! I never look forward for group meetings u see cause it's always so serious and stressful but for this particular group coursework, i look forward to it every time. It is a bit stressful sometimes but he lightens up the seriousness. :)

He is also a gentleman. The act of chivalry was always there. He will never fail to open the door for me. Even when he is walking behind me, he will try to hold the door by reaching out his hand. Once, after our meeting, I was walking behind him and he suddenly stop midway. so i stopped too, then he asked me to walk in front cause it's not nice if he walks in front of me. I decided to just walk beside him instead. :p

There was this one time where he asked whether i know the theme song for Star Wars, the Darth Vader theme to be exact. So i said yea n he asked me to sing the tune and i did. While i was singing the tune, he made some sounds. I thought he wanted me to stop so i did. But then he asked me why i stopped, he was doing the sound effects of the light sabers! LOL. So i had to continue. hahahaha. our other group member who was in front of us, just shook his head when he heard us doing the star wars thingy (this guy is the serious one in the group).

Once when we were at the computer lab, we were talking about how long our names were. SO he said whenever he's at the immigration counter, the officers will just look for a short while and let him pass cause his name is just too long they couldn't be bothered. hahha. and he showed me his passport (who on earth brings their passport everywhere they go yea.. hahaha comel gila) and u know how our passport pictures are young pictures of us right? so he looked so young in that picture and very good looking too! so i blurted out "WOW! You look so ..... young!" the truth is, i almost blurted out "WOW! You look so hot!" HAHAHAHAH. nasib baik aku tak ckp tuh.

Also, once, one of the group members were not in a good mood. she was really sad about something so i started singing the song Don't Worry Be Happy and i stopped midway (well i wouldn't want to sing the whole song right?) but he continued the song! ahahhaha.

I had a crush on this guy. (can't u tell?!?!) HEHEHE. I am not in contact with him anymore. In my 3rd year, we didn't take the same subjects so I didn't see him anymore after my 2nd year. But i am glad that I've met such a person. He is very nice and he makes me laugh all the time. I love those two attributes in a guy. Having good looks is a major plus. this crush of mine, well, good looking la. my friends said he looks like a model. hohoho. but kalau muka ada tapi hati takder buat apa kan? especially those good looking guys who will always make friends with good looking girls je or they know they're good looking so they act arrogantly. menyampah gila.

I miss having such a person, like this crush i'm talking about, in my life.

Here in Malaysia, it's so difficult to find a guy who will actually hold the door for you or even let you pass through the door first. They were not taught of this chivalry acts. I mean, letting you through first is the least that they can do. I'm not saying there's none... ada la. tapi sikit sangat.

I want someone like the guy whom i had a crush on when i was in my 2nd year cause I was never sad at that time. Even if I was stressful or sad, it will go away quickly.

First friend to get married!!!!

2012-01-29T13:39:00.006Z

Last Saturday, my friend, Syukri got married to his high-school sweetheart, Aizan.

They make such a good couple! Really complement each other I must say.

So he was my first friend to get married!!!

Congratulations again Syuk & Aizan!!!!

I was super excited and so were my two other girl friends who went to the wedding with me.

We couldn't help but cheer his name when we saw him with his wife in the golf cart as their transportation to the wedding hall. It was held at a Golf club btw. hehe.
I hope Aizan didn't mind that. bet she must be thinking who are those groupies. hoho.

A picture of my friends & I with the raja sehari :) They were smiling all the time!

hahahhah. happy betul ye :)

I had the chance to meet my friends from KYUEM too! It was soooo nice!

Everyone was just so happy to see each other. I haven't met some of them for 5 years!

oh it was just so nice to meet old frens.

We were all so excited and most of our conversations would just end abruptly and continue to another person. hahaha. limited time yea. macam speed dating BUT NOT.

So, i guess i will be seeing them again for another friend's wedding!

let's see who's next on the line! hahaha!

I know my chaletmate back in college will get married either mid or end of this year.

mini college reunion again! yeay!!

p/s: so i found out that one of my friends, stalk my blog. hahaha. shouldn't have told me!
so here's a shout out to him if he's reading this! HI NAZRI!!!! *wave wave :D

My favourite pearl tea!

2012-01-26T13:31:00.003Z

So, before this I had my tutti frutti phase where every now n then it's FROYO TIME!!!

Froyo = Frozen Yogurt (just in case some doesn't know what it stands for.. hehe)

Nowadays it's always Chatime!!

Thanks to my friend, Yana who introduced me to Chatime a few months back.

I loved it since. wheee!

Chatime sells pearl tea or bubble tea. you can drink anything that they serve and just ask for the pearls/bubbles to be included in the drink! Those pearls are made from tapioca starch btw (i just found out myself.. a few secs ago. LOL)

My favourite has to be their Hazelnut Chocolate Milk tea with pearls!

loooovee it. I've never tried other flavours besides hazelnut choc and superior pure cocoa.

Booyakasha!

I actually tried bubble tea ages ago when i was a small kid but i hated it cause it tasted so artificial, like powdered flavour and just add water. but this time it's totally different!

This pearl tea never fails to make me happy n bubbly! like! :)

I love my weekends with my niece

2012-01-24T04:36:00.006Z

And sometimes, coincidentally, we'll be wearing the same coloured outfit, even when she's wearing a cow costume. HAHAH.

Unhappy me

2012-01-19T11:14:00.003Z

I feel so unhappy right now.

I'm unhappy due to work.

I'm like the black sheep at the office.

No one is at the same wave length as I am.

They have their own click and doesn't seem to wanna get to click with me.

I didn't have any of that problem when i was attached to industrial.

I'm the only malay girl who doesn't wear tudung but that's not a problem really.

But the fact that I have rules to comply with because of the way i dress up.

FYI, I wear decent clothes when i go to work. like duh.

I like to be fashionable. I like to look nice. My definition of nice that is.

but at this particular department, I have to ALWAYS wear long sleeves and button up shirts. (ye memang lah boleh cantik2 dlm those type of baju jugak but tak byk baju mcm tuh kut)

I got a heads up by the secretary cause she was afraid i might kena tegur with the boss who's someone very religious.

Who on earth asks the employees "ha dah hafal doa ... tak?" during a meeting?!

Speaking of which, pagi tadi, while i was not doing anything at the moment, it was before 9am, he came to my desk and said if u're not doing anything, buat la solat duha.

I was so surprised by this. I mean it's good la but like.. errr okay.

Those aren't the things that made me unhappy actually.

The thing is.. I'm suppose to work on a project yea. And right now, I'm attached to internal audit. I don't think i like fit into this auditing work.. haih. i don't know.

Anyhoo, back to the story, I'm suppose to work on a project which involves recommending stuff for improvements. And since we just started on the audit review, everything is still quite vague and i can't really point out which area that needs improvement. I just started this week ok. And today on of the bosses came n asked me how's my project progressing. I'm like I haven't started on it cause everything's so vague. So he asked me to discuss with my team leader. My deadline is on the 27th and i'm getting really worried. Then when i told my team leader that I would like to discuss with her about it tomorrow afternoon cause i'm really worried about it and the boss had asked about it. She just said to jsut come up with something and then the boss can help out with it. I need her help cause I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THE HECK ARE THE ISSUES. Dah la takder detail lagi apa benda yg nak recommend nya! eeeeeeeeeeeeeee. dia ni suruh bincang ngan dia ni, dia ni suruh bincang ngn dia tuh. tak suka la macam ni. i don't even want to be in that department but it's compulsary for EVERYONE to be rotated in internal audit.

dah la tadi ada ceramah kat surau and after a few seconds of me sitting down, the ustaz said.. perempuan KENA pakai tudung yea. LIKE YEA OK USTAZ. like i haven't heard that before. getting weird looks from the makcik2 kat situ not helping either. urgh.

tho i'm glad the kakak2 at my office are not those type of ladies who look at u up n down just because u don't wear tudung. glad i get along with them.

OHMAIGAWD, i just whined this much! waaaaaaaa!

being unhappy is unhealthy!!!!! i don't like being like this at all.

why do they keep sending me at places where i can't see myself working happily.

And this is the last job rotation. after this will be the 3rd and that will be the place where i'm gonna be working at until well.. whenever.

I just hope i will have a right start. First working place and the right one.

you gotta start right.. right?

I hope HE can help clear my mind. InsyaAllah.

A new year

2012-01-02T14:10:00.004Z

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!!!

2011 was awesome. I hope that 2012 will be as awesome or even better than awesome...

be-awesome!!! (it means beyond awesome btw) hehe.

I celebrated the new year at the curve together with the Funky Munkies.

For those of you who doesn't know who the Funky munkies are.. well, it's just a name that my friends and I came up with to call our group. We came up with it when we were 15 and it's stuck till now. hahaha. It was the first time that the munkies celebrated new year together so it was great!

The fireworks display at The Curve was just spectacular!!! I LOVE IT. (the picture above is not the one frm The Curve) I was just so awed by the fireworks that I didn't bother to get my camera out. It's now a sweet memory! hehe. they had this new firework thingy going on that i've never seen before cause it's similar to the chinese red fireworks.. u know the one that goes.. pompompompompompompompompom!!! quickly. yesss that one. hehe. but this one was just bigger and up in the sky. It was just awesome i tell u!

And the fact that I got to watch it with my close friends... i was just happy :)

I LOVE FIREWORKS!! :p

My friend's car broke down on the way back to another fren's apartment. huhuhu.

our other fren had to drive back and pick us up.

and then the next morning, the toilet door was locked frm the inside (someone accidentally locked it and shut the door i guess) so we had to use the end of a can opener to pick it open. hahahah.

way to welcome the new year ha. hoho.

oh well, cheers for 2011! and for more exciting moments to come! May god bless us all :)

MTP site visits!!!

2011-12-05T10:13:00.005Z

As you know, (if u don't well now u know :p) I'm now a Management Trainee in Sime Darby. So for the first two weeks, we had site visits and also team building camp.

I would like to talk about the Site visits that I went to. It was awesome!
we went to all 6 divisions tho I won't be talking about all 6. booosan nanti. hahaha.

Plantation: we went to sime darby plantation and I got to see up close how the buah kelapa sawit looks like and hold it. ok, for the record, i always see this sime darby plantation sign by the road side yea. and yes i do know it's all palm trees. oil palm but i've never got to hold the huge big fruit before. so it was cool. we also visited the refinery, their R&D and the mills. the smell is a bit funky tho at the refinery. gave me a slight headache. haha. bet the people who work there are all immune to the smell.

Motors: at motors, daaaammnnn it was freaking cool. So we heard a rumor that we will be going to visit Porsche but then the bus dropped us off in front of Hyundai instead. we were quite sad about that. then one of us asked the guy who was giving the presentation at Hyundai whether we're goin to Porsche and he said "what?! nooo. u are not. just hyundai." then his boss came in and blurted out "when are they going to porshe?" hahahahha he was like winking like crazy to ohis boss but too late! we knew we were heading to Porsche after that. everyone got all hyped up about it after that. at Porsche, we all wanted a test drive but we couldn't. so we thought, fine at least we got to go to porsche and check out all the bad ass cars. then after the presentation at porsche, we had a tour around and we were told to go to the pre-delivery inspeciton area 2 km away. then the woman in charge told us that there's 2 cayenne and one panamera here, choose

which car u want to ride in and we're good to go. we were all speechless like.. wait.. what did she say. so i asked her "are u serious?" and she was like YES. woot!!!! ahahahaha. i got into the cayenne S and on the way back i rode in the panamera. obviously we didn't get to drive the cars but good enough!!! porsche road trip! hahaha. we felt sooooo cool. :p

Industrial: at industrial, another awesome experience!!! I got to drive a Wheel Loader!!! i don't have the picture me driving it, cause it's with the HR lady but this is a wheel loader.

voila! hahah i was super excited to drive this big baby. felt sooo happy after that.

So, that's it. right now i'm in my first job rotation with Sime Darby Industrial under Tractors Material Handling. haven't started work yet as when i came in they were about to for their own team building camp, so i had to join (i just got back yesterday, it was beyond awesome) but that i shall save for another post, a whole different story! I'm super tan now. anyhoo, tomorrow will be the first day of working life!!!! woot!!!

GANBARIMASU!!!!!

p/s: really need to get some pictures!!! all words and no interesting pictures are making me feel bored with my own blog. :(

the memorable thing that happened to me on 11.11.11

2011-11-13T11:56:00.003Z

So, almost everyone is all hyped out about the date 11 November 2011.
I think most people got married on that day. ahhaaha. ada ong la katanya. plus, it's a super cool date!
As for me, I had my own memorable moment on the 11th of Novermber 2011 too!!!
I signed my job offer letter!!!!!!!!!!
I didn't realise it till i was about to sign it. I said to the guy who happened to be in the same programme as me that OMG, WE'RE SIGNING THIS ON 11.11.11!!!!!
How cool is that?!?!?! and he just replied with a "yeaaa. this is history." cam erm... why do i not see any exclaimation marks going on here. hahahahah.

Tomorrow's the big day for me!!! super nervous now and excited! haha. I hope you'll treat me well Sime Darby :)

xoxo, Soraya

the visit

2011-11-11T01:52:00.005Z

The title of this blog post sounds like a title of a short story yes?

hahahahah.

Anyhoo, one of my close friends from the UK came to Msia for a visit. Her mom is a Malaysian so she came down to visit her relatives here. I am sooooo excited to meet her in Malaysia!!

Eventhough we met up for only a few hours, I was just so happy to see her in person! and not via skype or msn. I miss my life in UK so so much. I miss how independent i was there, the freedom that i have and also the safeness i had in lancaster. It's soo different now that I'm back home. haih.
Having a fren from UK to visit me was just something i needed. I won't be going back to england anytime soon but a little bit of england came to visit me. :) bliss! Thanks Louise! It was great seeing u!

Deep Fried Soft Shell Crab

2011-11-09T08:50:00.003Z

I've never tried eating soft shell crab before. Well mainly cause I'm kinda allergic to seafood.
BUUTTTT, there comes a time when one just have the urge to try eating it and then take their medication. HEHE.

So, I went to Full House at Sunway Giza a few weeks back and ordered their Deep fried soft shell crab for starters. 3 soft shell crabs were served. you see, these type of crabs are not big so it's fine as starters. It was really good!! it was crunchy and even the shell, it kinda melts in your mouth after the first bite! it's really good. I didn't take a picture of it cause well, i was so in to it that i forgot to snap some pics. It's served with a tiny bowl of wasabi mayonaise. I'm not really a fan of wasabi but the wasabi taste wasn't that strong anyway. It was good.

I love Full House's deep fried soft shell crab! will definitely go there and order em again!

nearing a new chapter in the book of life

2011-11-09T08:45:00.002Z

I AM FINALLY GOING TO STEP INTO THE REAL WORLD! hahaha.
Well, most people say that when you start working, that's when you experience the real world.

WORKING LIFE.

SO, on the 14th of November, I will be joining Sime Darby for their Management Trainee Programme!!!!! yeay!!!!

I went through all 4 stages and passed them all :D Alhamdulillah.
It's a 6 months programme more or less like a probation period and after that, hopefully I'll be in a department that likes me and I like them too. hehehe.

I am super excited!!! a tad nervous too. I can't wait to start on something new and make new friends! wheee~

xoxo, Soraya

here I go again!

2011-10-24T05:48:00.004+01:00

SOOOO, here's the thing. Every now and then I will have a phase where I'll get obsessed with a certain artist. HEHE.
It all started when I had a major crush on Bi Rain after watching him in Full House. This was during my college period. In college, I even had a presentation which I talked about him. We were free to pick on whatever we want to talk about during the english class okaayy. ;)
Then it died out cause well yea, he kinda change his persona and all. badan dah mcm badan ninja turtle cam eewww tak perlah tak suka dah.

Then I watched this Korean movie called Seducing Mr. Perfect which stars Daniel Henney.
So I had a Henney phase near the end of college period which lasted till I went to England for further studies. Had his picture on my wall and one of my friends went to watch Wolverine, came back and asked me, u know that guy who acted as the policeman in Wolverine, is he the same guy on your wall? HAHAHA. YESSSSSS! :p

Then during my first year, i started to watch Japanese movies and boy bands. SO i got obsessed with ARASHI. when I went to my 2nd year, no more asian phase. Got all drooly over all them european hotties in uni and also models that my fren showed me. So that made me widened my perspective and no longer attracted to korean or japanese guys that much. hahaha. That lasted till the end of uni life.
Suddenly i came back to Msia, my mom watches korean drama everyday so i've got not choice but to watch it too if i were to watch the tv. And MTV or other music channel have kpop going on every now and then. I started to watch the KBS channel, their entertainment shows are so funny. i love watching Lets go Dream team!, Gag Concert and Star King. they never fail to make me laugh. one fine day i happened to watch this music video starring G-Dragon and T.O.P. with their song High High. and now i have an obsession with T.O.P.

People, meet Choi Seung-Hyun or better known by his stage name, T.O.P.

he's no longer platinum blonde but has brownish hair now. He looks so good with platinum blonde! brown hair suits him well too! actually, whatever the hair colour is. He can pull it off! He's such an eye candy!!!! SUUUUKAAAAAA!!!!!!! :p

nothing to dooooo... ?

2011-10-11T16:13:00.005+01:00

"guilty as charge" the jobless girl.

hehehe. well, I've been chillaxing (i.e. chilling and relaxing).. drive around. go out with frens when some of them are free. most of them are either working or still studying. so lonely here pls!!! boo~
I've got an interview this Friday and next week I've got two interviews to go to. Those two are both the 3rd stage interview process for the respective companies and boy am i not looking forward to that! I'll be tiiiireeeddd. 3rd stage interview will be half a day. Must sleep early and be as energetic as possible ey!

after the 3rd stage interview then comes the last stage of interview which is being interviewed by the executives. getting a job nowadays is so difficult. macam2 stage kena attend. but i guess, no pain no gain! :|

Wish the best for my interviews okay? thank youuu!!! hehehe.

Oh, i almost forgot, I went to watch a musical theatre called ...

yes, The Secret Life of Nora. It was awesome! It was very lively! I love it when i watch a musical theatre and the songs just makes me wanna get up and dance :) got me all jiggy with it. hahahaha. It was vibrant with all the lights and colours! the actors were great! I would have to say the guy who acted as Sharif, Aaron Khaled has great talent! he was really good! the other casts were good too definitely! with Adibah Noor with her powerful voice and Aznil Nawawi never fails to crack up some laughter. Datin Tiara really did a great job in this musical. Two thumbs up!!! :D

till then, xoxo!

belated stories from moi!

2011-09-29T09:15:00.004+01:00

the beautiful sunset at Oia Village, Santorini. Pic taken by yours truly, ME! :D

hello!

i would love to say i was super busy as i haven't updated my blog BUT the truth is, i was just plain lazy.
but i thought i should start writing again. hehe.

I'm done with my degree as mentioned! now i'm just job hunting! waiting for the result from one of the companies i've applied to. 4 stages of interview process! did the 2nd stage last week. let's hope i passed it! really want this training programme!

my summer trip 2011 was AWESOME! went to Greece and Spain. Greece was just beautiful!! Especially Santorini. I had a lot of fun in Santorini as compared to Athens. Athens was fine but yea i prefer the island! :) I went on a donkey ride, rode on the ATV, hiked a volcanic island and also road trip! the resort that we stayed in was really nice! it's very reasonable and the service was good. think it's a family owned resort. the mother was the receptionist, son is the driver, daughter is the bartender.. etc. cute. it's called the Holiday Beach Resort and it's located very near to the Black Sand Beach. ahahha i didn't know the name literally meant that the sand was black there! super cool! My Greece trip was packed with adventures and i love every minute of it!!!

Spain trip was a bit different. not much of adventures but more of a hang out with frens holiday thingy which was fun too! oh! i watched the flamenco show when i was in Barcelona. it really got us all excited and i believe all the audience were at the edge of their seats! it was so full of passion and wow, it was like they're on fire baby! mantap habis diorang menari.

planking at Parc Guell with Nadia. ;)

where ever you are, you can never be dull when you've got family n frens around u! I love going on holidays with friends. The atmosphere is different from going on holidays with family. I mean going on holidays with family is fun too! but the fun is different. well, u know what i mean! :D

so now, i'm back in Malaysia. good ol sunny sweaty malaysia. haha. I really miss being in the UK right now but nothing beats home sweet home ey!

i've got more to write about BUT i think that's enough for now!

toodles! xoxo!

xoxo Soraya!

there's a red spot at..

2011-06-11T08:27:00.009+01:00

There's a red spot at my white eye! Can u see it? I've circled it there in the pic. It doesn't look THAT bad in the picture but upfront, it's like there's blood but not bleeding (i.e. a bloodshot). Apparently, (after I've googled) it's due to a broken blood vessel in the eye. The cause? Well, it might be caused by tiredness or a poke/scratch. I think mine would most probably due to tiredness. I don't remember scratching my eye or anything like that. huhu.

This happened yesterday. I have noooo idea when it appeared but it is gone now, tho i still see some fade redness. wanted to stay up yesterday and do my essay but since i got that bloodshot in my eye, i slept early and yea, had a loooong sleep and my eyes got its rest! :)

Looking at this picture again, is that an eyebag i see?!?! (since only one of my eyes is in the picture). Oh well, this is the last time I'll be studying my ass off!

Just.one.more.!.

Alrighty, I shall be off preparing for my last/finale/final paper now!
All the best and good luck to moi! hehe.

xoxo, Soraya

keep rollin' rollin' rollin'

2011-06-08T16:57:00.003+01:00

rollin' the hair that is.
haha ;)

Collected my graduation tickets just now and as I was walking back with the tickets in my hand, I was listening to One Republic's Secret (I LOVE THAT SONG, I can listen to it again & again), I can't help but feel happy sad.
I looked up into the clear blue sky and thought, gosh, I can't believe I'm about to graduate!!!
I feel old.
oh well. I'm still young at heart :)

2 more papers to go!!!

woot!!! Come on Soraya!

xoxo!

oh dear god

2011-05-31T10:42:00.002+01:00

Oh my god,

I'm freaking out for my last four papers.

I'm scared.

I need more time but there's no more time.

I keep telling myself I can do this.

but.. every now n then I just have that feeling of OMG MCM MANA NI..

I really need to get good grades.

I haven't done my essay for the 13th of June, just finishing outlining one essay.

I've only got 2 days and a half to prepare for that paper.

I'm scared.

urgh!!!

Dear god, pls give me the strength to go through this final 4.
I CAN DO THIS!

My favourite cookie!!!

2011-05-26T22:38:00.002+01:00

Meet my favourite cookie!!! *hi everyone!*

I've never had a favourite cookie before.

BUT NOW.. I've got a favourite!!

It tastes sooooo good!! I LOVE IT.

I'm.not.kidding.

see, I've taken a few bites before I took the picture, I can't help it. ahahaha.

It is scrumptious!

It's called the all butter quadruple belgian chocolate cookie!

Why quadruple? well....

It's loaded with melt-in-the-mouth chunks of smooth Belgian milk, dark, and white chocolate then half-dipped in more chocolate.

seriously, it's really good!

If you have a Sainsbury's supermarket near you, grab yourself a box!!!

Fill yourself with some happiness of the cookie! hehe.

Once you've tasted it, I bet you'ld want more!! (I'm not getting any commission for posting about this cookie okay, it's voluntary! I just love this cookie and I want all of you to try it too!)

As I will be heading back to Msia soon and not coming back to England anytime soon. or even EVER (i hope not). I'm really gonna miss all the food that I can't get in Msia!

So, once i'm back home, i shall attempt to bake cookies that will taste (I SURE HOPE I CAN) similar or even better than this! so then, i'll have a new favourite! what's better than homemade cookie!?! especially by yourself :)

xoxo, Soraya

Four more to go!

2011-05-25T14:36:00.003+01:00

Hellooooo everybody!

Final exams have started and I've got 4 more papers to go.

Had 3 papers before this and only one was alright.

2 exams were back to back papers, 23rd and 24th and both were not that good. Haih. but yesterday's was much better then 23rd's. The one on the 23rd was terrible. horrible. I was teary eyed after it but decided not too cause I had another paper the very next day.

definitely not gonna get a first for the module on the 23rd BUT i just hope for the best.

Haven't had enough sleep last two nights, i was really knocked out last night. penat sangat. huhu. haih, tolong lah biar result bagus.

My next paper will be on the 3rd of June and it's on Corporate Finance. Can't remember anything about that module. macam tak pernah belajar ok. Gonna get started on it right after I freshen myself up after writing this post.

After that I have Economics for Managers, Advanced Finance, and lastly Rethinking Leadership.

I really hope I will ace these four papers!!!

InsyaAllah!

let's do this people!

Berusaha kita!

WE.CAN.DO.IT!

Family Day in Lancs

2011-05-14T15:22:00.005+01:00

Hellooo!

I'm just super tired right now, thought i'ld blog awhile.

So, i just got back frm the Family Day held by Kelab UMNO Lancster and Lancaster Uni Msian Soc. It was funnnn!!!!

the theme was Kecoh 1 Lancster, and literally memang kecoh ar satu lancaster kat tepi tasik tuh. haahahhaha.

I planned to not play any games BUT after watching the dudes played baling selipar, it got me all excited! ahhahaha. I know I wasn't the only excited one cause ada juga yg lain yg semangat gila bila tgk diorang main.

the thing is, i've never played it before.

first time tgk orang main Baling Selipar pun masa 1st year, masa Family Day jugak lah! ahahahahah. So since just now they decided to have a woman category for baling Selipar, i joined in! KECOH NAK MAMPS. hahahaha

let me just say that we definitely didn't play according to the rules. setakat siapa kena baling, and bina balik selipar jer lah kut ikut rule. ahahha. it was for fun anyway! :) it was undergrads vs. postgrads. postgrads main dasyat weh. strategy baik punya, ingatkan dah mati semua, tiba2 ada sorang yg hidup gi naikkan selipar tuh. ceit! ahahha.

pastuh siap ambik selipar kitorang, the one that we used to throw at the others, tak nak kasi balik!!! ahahahah tak aci!!!! and since we don't have any slipper to throw to the rest, some took the other slippers away and ran with it!! ahahahahah

haaa even cerita kat blog ni pun dah kecoh dah. ahahah. siap wrestle to the ground ok nak ambik balik selipar tuh. (yer sebab saya orang yg ber-wrestle tuh jugak) ahahahahaha.

gila lah, it ended up like rugby. My first baling selipar was soooo much fun!!!! :))))

there were other games too like water balloons, find the sweet in the flour, u know like the sukaneka games. the simple yet fun games :) I don't have any pics to put up cause I forgot to bring my camera just now :(

As my first paper is this coming Wednesday, it was a good few hours of releasing stress, relaxing, good food. meeting people, chit-chatting. say goodbye to some postgrads leaving for Msia soon. huhu. but yea, it's not goodbye like one of them said as us final years will be heading back home soon too and boleh lah jumpa2 kat msia nanti.

anyway, bab farewell mewell ni boleh blog lain kali sebab mesti a bottle of mixed feelings masa tuh. ahahah. Definitely, 100%, gonna miss my Lancaster family alright!

aight then, think i should go freshen up and do my reading!!

takut lah first paper ni, dah lama tak buat exam essay. hohoho.

Let's all pray that we will all get flying colours!

God's will.

BERUSAHA KITA!!!!

ciao cincau!

May happiness lay ahead for both of them in the future and I hope they will last together forever and have beautiful babies (can't wait for that)!!! W&K ftw!

I bet people who are getting married the next day will not get to sleep in peace that night before.

It's like waiting for your results to come out the next day. Like you know it's gonna come out at that particular time and you're just waiting there. ARRGH! ahahah!

well, i'm definitely gonna have that feeling soon after my FINALS! hahaha.

This past few days, got links frm friends showing beautiful engagement videos and with this wedding of the century going on, I couldn't help but feel like i wanna get married too!!! lol.

Tho, i am very much farrrrr from that. hahha. I know that these things should be the last things on my mind right now as my finals get closer but I couldn't help it :p

oh well, degree comes first! then work! then..

well, let's just see what happens then when the time comes as I blog about my life. haha.

So, I'm now a princess-in-waiting and my very own prince is completely lost

somewhere out there.

one fine day, I hope I'll be one of those lovely couples.
That very fine day...

InsyaAllah.

2011-04-18T14:07:00.002+01:00

I WILL SIT FOR MY FIRST FINAL EXAM PAPER!

yes, it has finally come.

MY FINALE of university life.

My exam will start on the 18th of May and ends on the 13th of June.

As of now, I have not yet started revision for the first paper. I will soon. Well, later after asar prayers or tonight. ok definitely tonight! (tolonglah start Soraya oi!)

I've still got my 2000 words essay to write which I'm still currently reading and researching on.

But for that particular module, the one that I have an essay to write about, there won't be any exam for that as it's 100% coursework.

This means I have to balance assignment and revisions.

well the essay would count as revision as well right since no exam for that?

heehuuheehuu (nafas semput).

IT'S THE FINAL COUNTDOWN!!! tenenene~ tenenenene~

Lets end it with FLYING COLOURS!!!! and I wanna fly with 1st class please.

(God's will)

Yes! u heard me, that's the aim!

I want to graduate with my friends with BIG WIDE SMILES plastered on our faces!

not one with a frown including me.

we can do it peeps! aja aja fighting!

Lets make it happen people.

xoxo, Soraya

Hello April!!!!

2011-04-04T22:57:00.003+01:00

It's April!!

Gosh, how time flies huh! happy sad happy sad

I'm alright now as regarding the previous post :)

Went to play table tennis / ping pong today with Nadia & Farrah.

At first, the game was kinda bad, but eventually we played alright!
boleh laaahh. hehe. next stop, Aeroball!!!

Played squash last month with Yana & Iqa. An hour after that we went for Zumba and god, my whole body was aching so badly the next day! every part of me felt sore. haha.

really gotta make myself fit!

Since I'm on easter break right now @ study break.. I guess I would have more time to update my blog.. tho it might not be on current stuff that's going on. I might just talk about stuff that happened last year. haha. lalalalala~

One thing's for sure, I'm not going anywhere outside of UK this easter holidays.

supposedly start my revision today BUTTTT...

got a 2000 words essay to write and it's 70%! c-c-c-crazy! due in May 4th. woot!

alright, think i wanna go check out the question now and maybe layout my exam tinetable. :)

GANBATTE everyone!

We can do this!

Have a good easter break!

ttfn!

when..

2011-03-30T18:42:00.003+01:00

When you're at the lowest point of your life, that feeling inside.. It's just a nasty feeling isn't it? All one can do is just cry it out. Pour it out whatever you call it. No matter what you do now, you can't change it. It might partly be my fault I guess for not being as prepared as I should be but I was not prepared for that. like that's it, if u get it alright, if u don't. bye bye. I still can't accept the fact that this is actually happening to me. I'm like a water pipe turning on and off. It's on right now as I'm writing this. pfft! I need to stop this as soon as possible, pull myself together and get myself a freaking 1st class honours!!!! I'll show them. U don't want me fine. There are other opportunities out there for me! It's not eeeverything. I'm sure someone out there sees me as a great person who will give great performance with the right people around me. Are all their people that great anyway? Do they speak fluent english? I might not be that awesome but yea.. They might not want me because I screw up part of what I went through and I'm not what they are looking for.

Oh well, everything happens for a reason and I'm sure Allah has better plans for me.

I have always been a happy cheerful person and I'm not gonna let this ruin my life.

Dear god, I'm trying my best to stay strong and as positive as I can, please give me the strength to do so. Aamin.

Berusaha Soraya!!!! Ganbatte!

p/s: If any of the comments relates to the question why so.. I shall not answer. I hope you understand. thank you. :)

I love cupcakes!

Who doesn't right?

They are so cute! Yes, food CAN be cute too ya know.
I'm tight with work right now. Work overload seriously.

3000 words essay worth 40% tak buat lagi ha.

(BERUSAHA SORAYA!!! kata2 semangat buat diri -sendiri.. kesian) :p

Anyway, I was craving for cupcakes the other week, and lucky me!, every thursday, the Town market will come to uni so, the Yummy Cupcakes (that's the name of the co. yo!) had their stall up as well! whee~ :D

These are the cupcakes that I bought due to my craving. hehe. ;)

From top left: Vanilla, Snickers, Vanilla with Choc cupcake and Barbie vanilla (obviously the one in pink) haha.

In Westfield, London, there's a shop that sells cupcakes (can't remember the name now), nyway, they sell cupcake shake!!! It's like milkshake, but just an additional of A CUPCAKE! hahaha.

seeeedaaap!! mmmm..I was waiting for my cupshake, decided to snap a pic at the "booth".

It's soo good. It can be a bit too sweet but it's still good!

Stay calm, have a cupcake!

New found spot for studying

2011-02-18T22:25:00.006Z

I've found a new study spot!

My friends n I were always complaining how the library and Learning Zone is too far frm our houses so yeay! this place is much closer. It's called Barker's House Farm. Used to be a farm. (it's true!) Lancaster ni kampung. :) sebelah uni ada sheeps lagi. white fluffy creatures they are. like!

Anyway, I was feeling really sleepy so, Iqa n I decided to take a short break and record a video showing the place :)

Hope you enjoy it! we did.

First video is where Iqa used the Cyborg effect and pretended she's in a Virtual Game on the 1st floor, 2nd video taken right before we head back is me showing the G-floor then back to Iqa :)

(the videos are quite long sebab malas to cut it short so.. yea) ;)

V-Day Potluck Party!!!

2011-02-16T10:14:00.008Z

Hello there!

Before I go on about the V-day Potluck Party,

let me just clarify this, I do not celebrate Valentine's Day BUT on that day or the day before

I would do something with my friends since we don't celebrate it.

like going out or have dinner together with the girls. :)

Ok, now i've got that cleared out,

SOOOO..

Last sunday, I hosted a "v-day" potluck party!!!

loads of fun! Every year since 2002, I would plan something for the lovers day.
yea, I love my friends, so share the love baybeh! :p

Altho this year was having dinner again with the girls like last year, I still had great fun!
Had loads of food! We had Spaghetti Bolognese (my first attempt! and success!!!), Chicken Nuggets, Nasi Impit with Kuah Kacang, Shepherd's Pie, Tuna Sandwiches, and Marble Cake.

We played games this time! Charades, Black Jack, Chao Tai Ti? (is that how u spell it?)

and of course... to top it all off, lots and lots of laughter!!!

You girls make my grey skies blue :)

I cherish our friendship and may we be friends forever.

I want our children to be friends!

So nanti we can gossip about them together! MUAHAHAHA. :p

one thing..

2011-02-11T11:05:00.003Z

What I realize about myself...

If I am angry about something or someone, no matter how angry/mad I am,

give me just one night to calm down and think about it..

I will be A ok the very next day!!

I've had a few situations and it somehow ends up in such a way.

*well SO FAR, hasn't pass more than a night lah,

hope it stays that way tho*

Alhamdulillah.

super random food items!

2011-02-11T10:49:00.004Z

Alright! one thing you should know about me is that... I can go crazy with the items at the supermarket!!!

I can spend hours at Sainsbury's! I somehow would go slightly out of my shopping list due to the fact that I see something interesting. hahah.

well, not just sainbury's but in town la, like the Oriental store is another prey. hahah.

FIRST! Mooch Chocolate milk! WHy? Because of the packaging!!! How cool / cute is that?!

Yes, i'm such an easy target for things like this. Them sellers/producers would love me.

Second! I am a big fan of Kettle Chips!!! Why? Because they don't add MSG!!

For your info, I do not eat food that contains MSG (it's different if I accidentally take it. I would stop eating it if I know it contains MSG). THIS product is definitely MSG free cause I don't get migrain after consuming it! :D :D

Rock on Kettle Chips! (Malaysia tak byk flavour... booooo~)

Third! THIS IS JUST AWESOME. Msian supermarkets should have this!!!

ROASTED & PEELED CHESTNUTS!!!!!!!!!!!!

In malay, it's called buah Berangan. usually it has a hard shell, and one would have to bite it to crack it open and then start picking out the skin that is stuck at the chestnut! so mafan (means troublesome)!

The taste of this product is just the same as the one unpeeled!!!! I hope they do sell it in Msia and it's just me who didn't know about it. oh please oh please.

With this, all you have to do is just open the packet, put it in a bowl and heat it up if u want to!

then, the best part comes.. YOU EAT!!!! *nom nom nom*

-nice food makes me happy-

Orchard Tree Planting!!!!

2011-02-11T10:27:00.003Z

Dear all,

I would like to proudly announce that I had planted an Apple tree!!!!

My FIRST EVER tree planting!!!

All my life, i've seen my parents doing the digging up and what not at home (not that we have an orchard) but this time I dug up the dirt, put in the tree, put in the baja kompos etc!

:D :D

Let me tell you how I end up planting this Apple tree. haha.

I'm in this volunteery society called Green Lancaster :)

So yes, by the name, you would kinda get the hint that it's about doing environment stuff.

This is my first event with them so yea! We planted the Apple and Pear trees near the pre-school at the Uni's campus.

I did not plant this tree by myself fyi. At first I had my own tree then it was taking me too long to dug up the hole! haha. It rained before that so the ground was all sticky!!!!

It was really difficult to dug up the dirt! very muddy! so i decided to work together with another girl. :)

Hereeee are some pictures! tak clear sangat cause I used my mobile :)

Pics from top: The baby apple tree about to be covered by the "blanket"; dirty gloves; muddy wellies; the apple tree waiting to be all grown up! ;) and the baby pear tree which I didn't plant.

IIIIIIT'S FORTUNE COOKIE WEDNESDAY!!!

2011-01-26T15:33:00.007Z

Hello Hello everyone!!So guess what?! It's Fortune Cookie Wednesday!!!
sounds like a tv show? well, it's NOT.

I've self-proclaimed Wednesdays as Fortune Cookie Wednesdays due to the fact that I'll eat a fortune cookie every Wed :D

WHY u ask?

simple reason.. I LOVE FORTUNE COOKIES.

I love em! i love how i can snap it and oh! comes out that small piece of paper that gives random "fortunes" on it, then eat it! (the cookie i mean). the taste is not all OH MY GOD HEAVENLY. it tastes like those cones u eat with ice-cream which i love too. :p

hahaha.

This isn't what i got frm my fortune cookie today BUT it's a cute phrase to be put in a fortune cookie at a wedding ain't it? (frm google image)

yes, small things like this makes Soraya happy :p

U know, sometimes it's these small things be it from the act of eating something i like or even random act from strangers that turns my frown upside down.

won't u agree?

-end-

Siddarth and Ciggy

2011-01-24T21:07:00.003Z

Here's the thing, Nadia, Iqa and I, we love to chit chat at the front door in front of our flats. This usually happens when we got back from hangin out with the rest and before we head into our own flats. So one day, while we were chit chatting.. the following happened:

Random guy opens main door and..

Random guy: You know Siddarth??

us: *blur faces*

Random guy: Siddarth??

Me: CIGARETTE??? cigarette?? *nods head*

Iqa: You mean lighter maybe??

*random guy kept quiet, gave weird look at girls and gave up. decided to just press his friend's flat buzzer*

Nadia: *tahan ketawa*

right after he closed the main door, we were L our AO. hahahhaa. (usually it's LMAO. but it's 3 people.) :P

(we don't even smoke & to be asking him whether he wants ciggy or even a lighter!? heih. hahah)

oh, don't u just love epic moments with friends! xx

Singing in January @ Lucky Voice!

2011-01-20T23:26:00.007Z

I call us Wanita Rempah (Spice Girls in english..) hahaha. had lunch at Al-Jazeera restaurant.. the half-roasted chicken with rice was soooo good.. it was such a big portion and it only cost us 3.50 each! murah gila nak mamps. soo generous! I like! :D

from the outside, the building looked a bit dodgy BUT THEN once u step inside... the areas were sooooo nice! so lucky voice is situated at the top floor and the rest of the floors are the bars and restaurant areas, which go by different themes. it was really nice!!! I just love the ambience of each area!!! here are some pics from their main website:

The White Room

Kaz Bar

Groovy Wonderland

The last bits of 2010

2011-01-18T11:11:00.015Z

So, since i didn't really talk much about my last bits of 2010 before.. here we gooooo!!

first and foremost.. celamak gila formal kan.. haha. nyway, my bestfriend came up to Lancaster to visit me! It was really nice to have her over!! asyik jealous over the fact that my frens back in msia kept meeting up and i'm not there. it's like lepak2 kat taman tun all over again but just in a totally different country! haahhaha. tho she said i'm different here in the UK. hmmmm. a tad weird, cause i think i'm the same? i love the fact that she got to meet my msian friends here in lancs and they can get along well! a bunch of us went camwhoring at the park. it was still snowing at that time so it was nice to see the park covered with a blanket of snow.

Then, I WENT SLEDGING!!!!! IT WAS SOOOO FUN! cam fun sangat! after 3 years being in UK, that was my first time sledging. ahaha. it was on the 22nd of December 2010. ha see, i remembered the date. i don't know how to explain the feeling of going down the hill on a sledge. i love the adrenaline rush! oh, we sledged at the hill near the football field in Uni. :D

i watched Wicked!!!! my 2nd musical theatre in London! yeay!!! always wanted to watch that. i sat at the very front row!! like THE FRONT ROW. the FIRST ROW from the front. need i emphasize more? hahaha. and it was only for 27.50 due to the day ticket. we were there at 9.15am to buy the ticket, u see. it's limited. yea. gotta be there eaaarllyyy in the morning. counter opens at 10am and the show is at 2/2.3opm. If u're ever in london, should go n watch it! it's good. Next musical to watch, Jersey Boys or Grease.. or anything else that involves singing n dancing for joy :p

I also went to a Ralph Lauren shop in Old Bond Street and good god it was super classy. i wish i could just live in that friggin shop. ahhahahhaa. Yazira n i went there just to look around and like woohhh!!! boy were we impressed. their latest ad had blown us away and their shop just adds up to it. hehehe.

that's it for my last bits! cause after that was the one in Bristol. (previous post) :D

XOXO!!

Happy 2011!!!

2011-01-08T13:53:00.006Z

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!!

I somehow do not have a new year's resolution ahaha.
we shall live the moment yo!

Well, maybe just to be more hardworking? It's the final countdown!

yikes!

I was in London and Bristol for my winter break.

Definitely a different new year celebration for me this time.

Since 2005, i've been outside with my frens or family

to celebrate new year during new year's eve.

2010-2011 new year's eve, i was in Bristol, snuggling in bed in a hotel, watching tv n my fren was fast asleep next to me.

Fell asleep while watching tv, woke up realizing it's already 2011.

I wished my fren Happy New Year but she was dead asleep.

so i slept.

Woke up with me complaining how i wished her but she didn't wish me back.

So i wished her again and she wished back and said..

"Soraya, we're 23!"

WHAT A TURN OFF!!! hahahahah.

Accidentally left my camera and handphone charger in London.

There are lots of things i wanna write about but i think i'll wait for my camera.

Luckily, my fren is in london and she can get it for me!

Thank you Iqa n Shika! :D

to all girls out there, you have GOT TO WATCH

Ralph Lauren's Big Pony Collection ad.

(top pic shows the main 4 models)

i like the ones in suits in the video. :D

It's the bomb! I've got my frens n sister watching it over n over again.

Their dressing, their style,

their walk, their smile,

their built, 1234..

It's to die for.

here's the link ;) enjoy!

Summer 2010 (Part 2)

2010-12-25T13:35:00.005Z

Yo yo! After my holiday to Italy, went back to Malaysia. 2 weeks in KL, still tan as ever.

My mom was shocked to see me. I look huge n dark. ahahahaa.

She went "gelapnya anak mamaaa :( " hahaahahah! so worried about my tan.

Wouldn't be called a holiday if tak tan kan? Anyway, I went to Pulau Redang with the family.

It was our first holiday with new members of the family, Adam and Alisha. :D !!!

It was awesome!! I went snorkelling for the first time! The beach was just beautiful!

love it.

I'm a sucker for beautiful beaches. I LOVE THE BEACH.

I love laying by the beach doing nothing. just nothing. it's the most relaxing thing to do.

By the end of the Redang trip, i just made my tan worse. hahahaaha.

here are some pics!

super tan! what a mistake to be taking a pic with a very fair baby!

Sherry bummed out after a long day :)

Random fact of the day: Yawning is not cause by boredom or tiredness

My first homemade burger!

2010-12-19T10:38:00.007Z

Hello world!!

It's such a BEEEAUUUTIFUL Sunday morning!

Clear blue skies, whole place is covered with white snowy blanket.

.bliss.

Anyhoo, last night, i decided to make dinner for my friends n i. :)

I love going on cooking adventures and my friends will be the guinea pigs to try them. hehehe.

So, I made Rosti & Lamb and Portobello burgers.

The Rosti & lamb was a total flop. Rosti tasted alright BUT it's too starchy. think i would need to give it another try nanti. Lamb... I do not know how to cook lamb. enough said. hehe. Tho the tiny bits that i cut from the lamb was alright. Rasa cam mkn da

ging goreng jer. hahaha.

I've got no pics of them cause i was too busy preparing that i forgot to take pics of them. My friend, Yana took a pic of the rosti n lamb, i'll post it up once i have em pics.

BUT none of us took the picture of the burger.

the first thing that i asked my friends to try was the burgers cause i like em!

I had mine earlier. Had to try it on for myself first before i let them eat right.

see whether it is edible or not. haha.

This is how the burger is suppose to look like:

Mine was lack of two things compared to the actual burger provide by the recipe; the provolone cheese (it took me a few mins to scan the whole shelf at Sainsbury's but they didn't sell it :() and the Prosciutto, as there aren't any halal of that, so i just opt it out. I also used the normal Portobello mushrooms not the large ones.

Anyhoo, the burger taste good!! i liked it and so did my friends! Will be on my "food yang menjadi" list! hehehe :)

My summer 2010 (part 1) - Italy (continuation)

2010-11-27T09:45:00.006Z

Ciampino Airport, Roma

ITALY : I've already posted most on Italy in one of the previous post BUT i don't think i've mentioned about the last n most important part of my Italy trip. I'm gonna write it down now, WE WENT TO THE WRONG AIRPORT on the day we were going back to London! HORROR gila.

One of my friends got confused whether we were going to Ciampino or Fiumicino Airport and ask the directions on how to get to Ciampino (the wrong one) a few days before our departure date. So everyone thought we WERE going to Ciampino. We had bought the bus tickets and what not. ON the day of departure, we reached Ciampino earlier than as per planned as we took the earlier bus cause we could (which was good because we didn't see what's coming at that time). Only at the airport itself

did my other friend gave us the flight ticket. So everyone started walking and i opened the ticket n realise that it's written Fiumicino instead!!!!! but at that time, i wasn't really sure which airport we were at (worse case right.. well i wasn't the one in charge of going back) so anyway, i just went "babe, we are at Ciampino? but my ticket says Fiumicino?" and my fren's face totally changed and went SHIT. OHMAIGAWD. and that's when i started to get panicky. and we both hurriedly ask the rest to check their tickets and everyone was just shocked n started to get panicky. ahahhahahha but one of us asked everyone to calm down n rushed to go back to the bus and asked whether that bus goes back to the city.

Apparently, the right airport, Fiumicino is on the other side of the city!!!! Nasib baik, we took the earlier bus before. so we had a bit more time to reach the right one. we hoped on the bus and were praying hard that we wouldn't miss out flight. once we reached back to the city, we had to take the train to the airport!!!! we were running for our lives to the platform i tell u. then once we touched down at Fiumicino we started to run our ass off again! it's like in Amazing race. SERIOUSLY. the guys carried their bagpack so it's easier for them to run. Us girls were running with those luggage stroll bags!!! we thought we reached the gate, BUT THEN it wasn't the

right one when we asked one of the polive officers there. it was further away!!!! like Air Asia nya dock and KLIA camtuh! jauh kan. ha. so, panicky again, we ran so fast, the bag was going all crazy but we just drag that god damn thing when we were running! one of my friends even took off her slippers cause it's easier to run. The people at the airport must be thinking we're one rushing Asians catching their flight. hahahahaahah.

Finally when we reached the right gate, our flight was delayed. (a blessing in disguise) we were there on time but boy were we tired. you would know that the 5 of us had b

een running (maybe ran a marathon) cause of how we were out of breath. hahahahahaha. penat gila. but we were glad that we made it on time n laughed it out when we recap what had happened. (masa tuh boleh la ketawa kan) haha. :)

At the end of our trip. I was tan as ever. I have quite a dark skin tone n i got darker. oh boy. hahahaha. but it was worth it!!

I miss Italy.

one of my experiences I shall never forget. :)

Arrivederci! x

It snowed!

2010-11-27T09:30:00.003Z

Good morning fellow readers! It snowed today!

Tho, i missed the first snow fall! wonder at what time did it start to snow.

So, i woke up and look out the window and that's what i saw (pic above).

I can't wait for the next snow fall! Yet, i know i won't be liking it once it starts to snow more frequently. hahaha

It is said to be that this year's snow will be worse than last year.

Brace yourself people! huhuhu.

I've finished planning out my winter break yesterday.

I shall share it with you. :)

SUPER TIRED

2010-06-12T09:13:00.009+01:00

HELLOOOOO everybody!! i am super tired right now! yet, i can't rest coz i haven't pack for storage and back to Msia. :( . Right after i finished my exam, i went for some retail therapy! hehehe. from that day onwards, i had something on every single day until today! was suppose to go to Lake District on May 29th but wasn't a good weather. On the 30th, went to Manchester to visit my cousin and watched Westlife's Where We Are tour!! ahahhaha, can't believe i watched Westlife's concert. followed my fren as she's a fan. Am not a huge fan, but they SANG so well live!! i enjoyed myself that night! thank god, they sang their old songs more than the new ones, so i could sing-a-long to some :) Thanks Nadia FN for the tickets! (good seats they were).

May 31st, I had planned a surprise birthday party/gathering for my friends n i before we all head back to malaysia. Somehow, the birthday girl accidentally found out before the surprise due to some slip of word by my junior. heih. but oh well! Nadia didn't spoil the surprise. well, after the cake was brought out, she told me that she knew about it! hahahah! i hope u had a great time!

1st June, head to London with Nadia FN. I wanted to do some shopping but summer sale wasn't on yet, sooooo didn't buy much. just bought some pair of shoes! Got my first Crocs!! hehehe. it's so light! Took Nadia FN to eat ice-cream at Ciao! the ice-cream there is awesome! Don't have the ice-cream pics with me now. Nadia went back to Lancs on the 3rd and i stayed on causeeee.....

On June 4th, I went to Italy!!!!! IT WAS AWESOME. plus with some really funny frens, it was such a fun trip! we went to Pisa, Venice, Florence, Milan, and Rome! We reached Pisa, just to take pics with the tower, then head to Venice on the same day. Spent one night each in Venice, Florence, and Milan but 3 nights in Rome! more things to see in Rome! we stayed in an apartment when we were in Rome and it was so cool!! my skin tone had leveled up! ahahhaha i'm really tan right now. feels like a ninja turtle cause around the eyes, it's fairer than the rest of the face cause of my sunglasses!!

I just got back from London yesterday.

and later today, i've got a dinner to attend and i'm super dark right now. damn it. hahahah but then again, holiday right, what's summer holiday if u didn't get some tan going on?! :D :D .

Next stop, Msia!! and then, 26th June.. REDANG Island!!!! belum sempat nak putih balik dah nak tan balik. hahaha. heih. Sunny Malaysia I'm coming home soon!!

p/s: will talk more about my Italy trip next time :)

exam's over.. not happy?!

2010-05-28T12:10:00.003+01:00

ok. a person should be smiling gleefully, all dancing for joy when exam's over right? RIGHT! BUT in my case, being my sensitive self, for the first time, i feel all shitty and sad right when exam's over. I HATE THIS FEELING

I HATE IT I HATE IT I HATE IT I HATE IT I HATE IT I HATE IT. WHY?!

because..

first of all, this whole exam period has been such a bumpy road (plus my stress level n depress level increased). none of the papers were easy. there's ALWAYS something that i could have done much better. So, to end the exam period, to have done your last paper quite well, would be a nice way to end it no? BUT yea.. the last paper just now was tough. 2 questions which consists of 100% each. I am very well confident that i could get 100% for one of the questions but the other one.. sheesh. the thing is, we had 3 choices and pick 2. the choices were, project planning, inventory planning and quality management. Quality mngt was the one i can aced off. so, i had concentrated more on inventory planning when i was doing my revision but not on project. BUT the project planning one, i had studied before in my first year, and it's a bit confusing unless u really know how to it then it's fine(i was good at it in my 1st year). HOWEVER, just now, looking at the inventory planning question, it was tricky! and looking at the project planning question GOOD GOD IT WAS BLOODY easy to get the 50% marks straight BUT i forgot how to do it. I DID revise that part but i totally forgot how to calculate it just now. i attempt to do it, but mid-way i just can't remember how to calculate it. so not to waste time, i took the risk and did the inventory planning question instead WHICH i know i used the right formulas BUT the wrong figures for some. URGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GERAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IT'S REALLY FRUSTRATING OK!!! (ini jer sebenarnya kesimpulannya)

it's frustrating when u know u could have done it BUT then u forgot how to do it. IT'S BLOODY FRUSTRATING. AND WHY THE HELL AM I COMPLAINING WHEN IT'S FREAKIN OVER?! CAUSE I'M FRUSTRATED!! I HATE THIS! I HATE EXAMS! stupid exams. u make me feel stupid. and and u know what, all these. ALL THESE stupid shitty feelings... i've got myself to blame. all these crying n nonsense. All me. It's my fault.

i really want to feel happy right now. i really wish i could smile n just have fun BUT i just can't feel that way right now. i've never had such struggle during exams before. ever. in my life. ever. My intention of getting a 1st for my 2nd year has just flown out my window. I'm just hoping i would get at least a 2nd upper for my 2nd year results now. God's will i hope i can. so what have i learned from this?!? 3rd year study awal2 jgn nak last minute. this time, padan muka. last year dah mmg last. u better not screw it up, ur future depends on it woman!

u see now i can't even enjoy the fact that exam's over. what the hell wei. It's too late to do anything now (more reasons for me to hate this feeilng). i need to calm myself down. I don't know what i'm gonna do after this, but i know i have just got to get this shitty feeling OUT OF THE WAY. BE GONE!!! SHOO!

a bit of flashback, usually when i'm in this state mind, back in college, i would have poured my tears out on one of my chaletmates bed. now, i'm just pouring it out on my blog. ahh, good old times.

COME ON SORAYA. SMILE!

OMG, a few days back, i was untangling the vaccuum's wire at my door, and one of my flatmates, passed by and he wasn't wearing any top on, just his sweatpants, u know how it's like your reflects to just look up when someone walked pass in front of u right, so i did and the moment i did that, my iPod (i was wearing my iPod at that time) paused! and he winked at me. I went Hi! closed my door and laugh like mad and got grossed out! HAHAHAHAHAH GELIIIIII OKAY!!!! serious geli. eee. ahahahahah. they are always shirtless! the first time i got in to my flat last year, opened the main door n PAP, some guy's body at my eye level.. i was like erk! then he went, oh sorry. he thought i was his fren as he was expecting someone. HAHHA thank god he's cute. ahahhahaha what a way to welcome me to my flat yea? :D dunno whether i've mentioned this before but there are only 3 msians in my flat and the rest (7 people) are all Cypriots. hahahah. a minority when it comes to my flat. but they're nice! tho sometimes can be a "BIT" noisy!

ookaayyy, i better get going.. it's 4.21pm now, must start study at 4.30pm! i hope so. I HAVE TO!! exam soraya ooiiiii. nanti sendiri menyesal.. huhuhu. oh yes, ending it with a random fact yea? hmmmm okay.

SMILE :)

2010-05-13T15:30:00.004+01:00

Smile, though your heart is aching,

Smile, even though it's breaking.

When there are clouds in the sky-

You'll get by.

If you smile through your pain and sorrow,

Smile and maybe tomorrow

You'll see the sun come shining through

For you.

Light up your face with gladness,

Hide every trace of sadness.

Although a tear may be ever so near,

That's the time you must keep on trying,

Smile, what's the use of crying?

You'll find that life is still worthwhile,

If you just smile.

Smile is a song, originally used as an instrumental theme in the soundtrack for the 1 936 Charlie Chaplin movie Modern Times

2010-03-07T16:27:00.004Z

With a smile and a song

Life is just a bright sunny day

Your cares fade away and your heart is young

With a smile and a song

All the world seems to wake in a new rejoycing with you

As the song is sung

There's no use in grumbling when raindrops come tumbling

Remember you're the one

You can fill the world with sunshine

When you smile and you sing

Everything is in tune and in spring and life flows along

With a smile and a song

And life flows along

With a smile and a song

I do believe this helps when i'm stressed out or feeling down with grey skies over me.

goodbye grey skies hello blue!

WHAT IS THIS?! then i took it out and i went "AAAaaAA!!!" ahahaha. yea, gave a little scream of joy. i hope nothing goes wrong with it now. :)

Dear blog....

2010-02-09T19:18:00.015Z

Dear blog, i'd never thought i would write this, selfish of me to feel this way

But

sometimes i feel that i value my friends too much. It hurts me that they don't value me as much. I don't blame them. Definitely NO.

But

sometimes i just wish they don't just assume things about me. assume things that i like, what i don't like. assume that i'm not interested in going. things that i've said, one can change their mind can't they?

Sometimes i wish they would value me as much. Some of them never invite me for anything. They don't see it as a big deal.

But

to me, yes it is. that's just me.

Sometimes i even feel that some of them don't really like me. I'm just a person for them to talk to. that's it. not a friend. Sometimes they don't even talk to me about other things. It's just on one thing. I feel dumb when that happens. I know other things too. Even if i don't i can learn, they can explain to me.

Friends whom i've never seen for a long time or been in contact is different, but it hurts more when they are my close friends.

I guess i view the word 'friend' in a different picture than them. i never like to see my friends sad. I feel guilty when i see them sad and unhappy. Why wasn't i there. Why are they sad? I'm always there to cheer them up. I know i'm not obliged to, but i'm their friend, and i think that's what friends are for.

Cliche as it may seem but "A friend in need, is a friend indeed".

Most of them never realise when i'm sad. Never. well maybe because i don't like to show it to them.

Most of my friends had never seen me cry (except my chaletmates & chalet neighbours). I never like people to see me get all teary. I have a thing for bottling up all these negative feelings inside me and when i do let it all out.. it really makes me depressed. It happens sometimes. Those who i can be manja with and not be judged are far away from me. Living in different states, we still do keep in touch but hard to see them in person anymore.

I never hated a friend, not now not ever. i love my friends (besides my family and god), ALL of them, no matter where they come from, how they look like, whatever their IQ level is, whatever! they are my friends. they are the ones who make me happy, whom i can laugh with, share my stressness, my drama life with but just sometimes...

this feeling.. all this that i just poured out to you dear blog, it'll pass. It'll go away very soon. I don't keep sadness in me for long. It is not healthy for me. :)

Indoor Skiing!!!!

Nadia Farhan, me, Andy (our ski instructor), Farrah, Bebeh, & Nana

Luging!!

I went indoor skiing and luging on the 14th!!!! it was AWESOME!! hahahahha. my fren accidentally booked the ski session for those who knew how to ski. Nadia n i are the only ones who tumbled over. The rest didn't go up the hill. I fell face first cause i got stuck at the lift. My ski came off, and yes, i kissed the snow. My lips went numb! ahhaha. Nadia on the other hand fell back when she was on the lift. The security got her first. Then another security got me when i was at the top after i fell. we felt like immigrants! ahhahahahaha! i had to walk down that steep hill! WALK okay! heih. well it was an adventure alright! hahaha! well, the security guy then helped to change our tickets to the taster session! :D

Luging! it's jsut like going down a slide with a sled! it was going really fast! and like u feel as if u're about to make a full turn when u're making a turn! i don't know how to explain. :P . it was fun!!! went on it 6 times i think. hahahahha.

Our ski instructor, Andy was sooo funny! he's like high or something. everything we say he'll respond with an "AWEESOMEE" or "COOOL" hahahahaha. like gaya2 mamat2 stone. lawak gila. and when he found out we were from Lancaster Uni, he was so excited cause his gf studies there too! kept talking about his gf and how bad the weather's like in Lancs. hahahaha! we felt like he was just pulling our legs when he was teaching us some ski stuff. we had to like, ski down on one leg, ski down while doing the action "head & shoulders, knees & toes!", ski down and make some jumps, and also ski down backwards!!!! and we all kept laughing at each other and he was like "why do u guys keep laughing at ur frens??" hahaha. apa lar. i really enjoyed myself that day! :D

Apa khabar?

2009-12-08T11:45:00.007Z

Nescafe's new premium coffee called Suraya! hihihihi

i was walking along one of the aisle in Sainsbury's and something caught my eye! yes! that coffee! ahahaha i just had to take a pic of it. ;) . i wonder how it tastes like..

oh don't mind the title, i realise yesterday that the abangs who work at Pizzetta and Sultan knows i'm for malaysia and just love to go Apa Khabar? then when i answer, Baik! they just stood there like dunno what to say after that. HAHAHAH. bongek.

not sure whether i've mentioned this before, but am gonna say it anyway! :p i just love it when someone who i don't know is being nice to me. be it a girl or a boy, i just find it sooo nice. because to me, i know that it's sincere. for example, last Wednesday, (mula dah dia ngn story dia.. hehe), i went to the comp. lab to print out my coursework and promised my fren to meet up with her there. When i went in, there were two guys, a brit and a chinese. so minding my own business, i sat, sign in my name, and wait for the comp, to log on. tunggu punya tunggu, tak on on! cam bapak lembap! so i was twirling on my seat, ahhahah. u know that office chair that u can turn around n around. yea, so then while was turning, then i accidentally made eye contact with the chinese dude, so cam like.. uh oh, tgk balik computer screen. he was sitting behind me btw, after that i saw from the reflection of the computer screen that the chinese dude, let's call him CD for now, was coming towards me. i was like, WHAT. what does he want from me! then he said "the computer is not working. all of em" i was like "OH. erm.." the brit was using a laptop but he was using one of the comp! i didn't know what to do, cause i've promised my fren to meet there and while i was about to sms my fren and tell her to meet somewhere else, he said "do u want to print? u can use my comp." so i went to his computer and asked him whether he has finished using it and to kindly log out. he then said "i think if i log out, and u log in, u won't be able to use it". i went "but i'm going to print." (this would mean, i'm gonna use ur print credit! it's ur money!) but he was being such a nice person, he just said go ahead.

so, THEN, while i was opening my essay, he was packing his stuff, he said "are u from malaysia?" i was like, EHHHH, how did this CD know where i'm from? usually, assuming that he's from CHina, they wouldn't know where i'm from. i was like YEA!! how did u know?!? then he said "by the way u talk" i was like.. OMG. like how. well i guess, my facial expression gave him that, so he was like, cause i'm from singapore! :) . then i was like, NO WONDER!! ahahahaha. was about to strike a conversation, then my fren came and i had to open the door. so when i was taling to my fren about the coursework, he just stood there behind me for like a minute or two. and i felt really bad cause it's his account and his money am using. then he just told me to log off after i'm done. when he was about to go out i just called up to him and said Nice to meet u!! and he smiled and off he go. I was sooo curious to know his name! i just had to so i searched in the comp, since it's his acc am using. so i tried to find him on fb, but failed to do so. the next day as i was walking with my fren, i asked her "do u remember how that guy look like? i can't really recall" and then when i look infront, there he was! i was like, isn't it this guy? then he saw me and said hi! so i did too and my fren went, THAT WAS HIM!!! i was like yea!! ahahahhahaha.
YESTERDAY, i was in my lecture, AND HE WAS THERE!! all this time, he was in the same lecture as i am!! cam apakah bongeknya soraya. dah satu term mamat tuh satu lecture ngn kau. hahaha. i know that this guy existed but i didn't know that he would be CD. it's the way he dressed i guess? at the comp lab he had like a leather jacket (as told by my fren, i didn't really look at him n what he was wearing, was focusing on my work but my fren had a good look at him) well I THINK that it's him. side view, he looks the same. but i still am not 100% sure. wanted to like make eye contact and see whether he'll smile at me cause he recognises me but i don't recognise him. but there's this girl who's sitting next to him n blocking the way. pergh. anyway yea, i think it's him. and u know what, tomorrow will be the last lecture! :( .

anyhoo! on a random note, I MADE CHOC FUDGE THE OTHER DAY!!! i made something that i can't eat! ahhahaa. it's called non-baking choc fudge. i just put it in the fridge to set it! it has biscuits, walnuts n raisins in it :) . i had a few of my frens as my subjects to test it. HAHAHHA. and they said it was good! i tasted it myself, a bit, and it wasn't that bad! :) yay for me!
here's a pic of it. not that pretty but hey, don't judge a book by it's cover!

I'm gonna die single :p

2009-11-20T16:36:00.008Z

LAMA NYA TAK BLOG!!!!!! huhuhuhu. apologize for that. i've been super bz! i just finished my Marketing test! it was alright. altho wasn't quite confident with one of the question but i did my best!! still got 2 courseworks and tutorial homework to do tho. BUT BUT I WANT TO BLOG!!! WHEEEEE!!!

I'M GONNA DIE SINGLE. ahhahahahahhahah! i hope not! u know what, i just found out that petronas doesn't allow its workers to get married to each other. habis plan soraya nak cari potential bf IF she works at petronas nanti. hahhahahahhhaha. but actually come to think of it, IF i were to die young yea, (touch wood) it would be better if i'm single i think. i wouldn't make my special someone all so sad and mourning. about feeling guilty if he was to get another gf or something. yea. :) . speaking of this makes me think about this book i once read, it's called the Mrs. Marriage Project. Not sure whether i've mentioned about this book before but anyhoo, it's about this young girl whose sister's bestfriend jsut passed away and she pitied that girl because she didn't get the chance to get married before she died. So, this girl decided to get married. She doesn't have any bf or whatever, so she sets out on her own quest and met all this random strangers and what not. in the end, she didn't get married. Instead she ended being kidnapped by one of the random strangers (nothing bad happened tho besides being kidnapped that was it) and bla bla bla long story short.. she was rescued and never do that ever again.

DOn't worry, i won't do anything stupid like that! I know my time will come and god has my life all planned out for me! It's for me to make it right! wooh!

today is one of my bestfriends birthday! she turns 21 on the 21st! isn't that cool!?! :) Happy 21st Birthday Intan Soraya! We even have part of our names the same! she told my friends n i who are currently in overseas that our theme for her birthday is to wear a telekung. hahaha, so i msged the other 2 frens of mine and asked them to send me their pics in telekung and i compiled our pics in one frame and posted it up in our group on fb! glad she loved it!

oh, 2 of my guy frens are not on speaking terms. :( it's sooo sad to see such good friendship go to waste! one of them is the guilty one but is too ego to admit that it's his fault hence the other guy decide to give him the silent treatment. how childish isn't it?! i mean like, just apologize! it's not that hard. he's just soooo stubborn! i don't understand why he can't just say sorry. and this guy is like the closest fren as compared to the rest! now, it's so hard for me to plan any gathering or what not cause one of them will have some 2nd thoughts of coming because the other one is there. like urgh. bongek. i have not said a single word about this to any of the two. they better settle this quickly or i'm gonna settle it for them!

on a random note, i am one who can't stand the silent treatment, be it me who's giving it or the one getting it! my "tak nak kawan" length would last only for a few hours and that's it! u know, jsut to release my anger and like having them feeling guilty or make them realise that it's not funny, it's enough for me.

oh no, it's 5pm already. aight then, i think i need to go now. might be watching New Moon later! aaauuuuuu! <------ the sound wolves make. ;) till then mon ami.. au revoir!

my lappy is being so gedik

2009-10-28T20:33:00.006Z

This is Lappy, my laptop. being sooo bitchy right now. it crashes every now n then. THANK GOD i've made a back up JUST IN CASE i have to like reformat the whole thing. for a few days, at times, it will not start up. i mean, i could hear the fan going on, but like, bunyi cam orang semput je. tak bukak pun to the main window tuh. i have to like shut it down n on again and then wait for it to do its startup repair. i'll leave it for like half a day to give it a rest. gosh! and then the other day, it refuses to log on as ME!! it said "User Profile Service service failed the logon. User profile cannot be loaded". LIKE WHYYY!! frustrated and not wanting to go to the uni's service centre cause it's quite a walk, i smsed my darling sister what i should do. so she's my tech heroin! kesian adik dia buta I.T. hahahahah! after that got sorted out, it decided to not let me use it again (back to square one where i can only hear the fan). eventually, it got all better by itself. usually it'll be when i decided to go n take it to the service centre! gedik betul.

Anyhoo, i realise i've not blog that often anymore as compared to last time. 2nd year is a really bz year to start with. everything just go bam bam bam during the first week. like woah woah slow down. wooh! hehe. just now, i was following thoroughly to what the lecturer was saying and then omg.. lost lost. where am i. :( . dah kena baca apa benda yang dia ckp tadi. susah susah.. heih. well, come to think of it, nothing's easy in life! berusaha Soraya! yeaaa!

Halloween is just around the corner!! oOooOo! hehehe. but this year, i won't be dressing up as anything. might put on some make up, that's it. huhu. WHY? BECAAUSE, am going to Notts games and by the time i get back, it would b night time and cam tak sempat nak ber'dress up' n all. make up pun ntah sempat ke tidak kut. i dunno.

did i tell u that i met my juniors? like newcomers to my uni. they're all very nice! the girls la. can get along with them. yeay! the guys i dunno, don't really talk much with them. tho, one of them is pretty cute! very much like my type (by the looks la, attitude wise belum tau lagi. huhu). those who know me.. will more or less figure out how this person will look like. muehehehe. :p .
oh oh! i've this fren who went to a ballet college before! isn't that cool!!! i was like.. WOAH, COOL! like omg, i've never met anyone who went to a ballet college before. tak pernah tau ada pun. hahaha. but then she got injured and couldn't continue so she continued her degree in bus. studies! jauh beza gitew. hihihi. hmm i always share stuff that's not important to u at all huh. i wonder whether any of the readers went like "why are u telling me this?!". well, u've read it!! HA! oh well, sharing is caring. I am sharing therefore..I am caring! wheeee!oh yea! btw, look what i found online! I'm even on a badge! hihi. ;)
till then, taaaa! xx

something for you to try out!

2009-10-20T21:31:00.002+01:00

Here's the thing, back when i was in standard 6, during my prefects trip to Cameron, my friends n i wanted to know what the guys who were in the next room were talking about. So, one of my friends said that if we put a glass on the wall, with the side open on the wall, (i.e. the bottom of the glass is facing u), u would actually hear them on the other side. Like actually hear what they're talking about! but it has to be really quiet on your side of the room.

So nadia (who lives next door) n i tried it just now for fun and even with internets and internal telephones. using the glass is much more fun! ahahhahahah! altho, we didn't make any conversations.. gila kuno kan.
So, for those who never tried it before, what are u waiting for! TRY IT!!! don't tell your frens what you're about to say. let them guess and ask them later what u said! (just to check if they actually hear u) :D

-sorayaness-

things i miss! and more..a

2009-10-07T08:31:00.007+01:00

so here we go again, i'm back in Lancs. huhuhu. so far everything's ookaayy. except the fact that i haven't got all my stuff yet cause i haven't had the time to go and pick up my boxes from my senior's house. no food no pots n pans. everyday i have to eat out. pergh! sick of the food already! i want rice!!!! i want to masak ikan bilis masak kicap! i want to goreng ayam! i want to make nasi goreng! hehe.

k, back to what i wanna write about. back in Malaysia, almost every single day i would go to my sister's mother-in-law's house to visit my ever-so-cute niece, Alisha. Well, i have 2 other nicknames that i call her.. namely Dot and Shabab (short for Alisha debab) ;)
I miss that!!!!! dah tak dapat tatap muka ALisha hari2 dah. :(
my mom said "she won't remember u when u get back here" the other day.
i was like "WHAT?! she will!!! we have skype!!!"
gila buat org hampa jer mama ni.
also, i wouldn't get to gossip with my sister all the time hahah but then again god bless technology!!!

my bestfriends back home!! i wouldn't get a call from Azd asking me what should she eat for lunch or dinner. i miss that! she would always ask me places to eat. sebab raje selalu makan luar ke?! yea i think that's the reason. i wouldn't get to just go out with a fren cam last minute cam tuh. like just a call and let's go!! hoho. but but i guess blink blink blink by the time u know it, it's already summer and i'm gonna be back in m'sia again.

classes had started. OMG, i have a lecturer who speaks english with a very very very strong italian accent! when she spoke.. i was like.. what?! what?! bangsa apa dia ni?? cause i've never heard anyone who speaks english like dat b4. then she said. sorry for her strong italian accent. ohhhhh italian ker. every single word she said, will have a. a as in for like "a book". yea. that sound. cam welcome..a ,to..a.. ,more..a ,change..a. rasa mcm kena faham those u know like in malaysia kan ada bahasa F la.. bahasa W la. haaa. like that. hahahaha! serious. i will soon get use to it! yea saya boleh!

oh yea, masyaallah, why are the guys here soooooooo hot. my friend n i saw this guy who looks soooo much like christiano ronaldo but not the remp-ish and gay-ish version like him. YES. ronaldo tuh cam rempit jer :p and kadang2 nampak gay jugak ar. IT'S MY OPINION. biarkan daku, janji bahagia. anyway!! this guy, is fairer and cam waaaaa hot gila! hensem sangat! cam like hensem gilalah! but but ada sikit potential to be gay. cause like good looking guys always turn out to be gay. HAMPA.
hehehe. bongek.

a note to myself: Welcome back to your second home Soraya!!! :p

till then peeps, take care! xx

Turning 2NT1

2009-09-25T16:01:00.011+01:00

My birthday cake! - Cotton Candy flavoured ice-cream with Vanilla cake courtesy of Baskin Robbins

hehehe. do u get it? 2NT1? :) IF u don't, i meant to say twenty one. haven't had the time to blog about it. SOOOOO!!! this year, i celebrated my 21st birthday 3 times!!! hahahahah! once in UK, once with my college frens, and once with my dear funky munkies on my birthday itself. On the night of September 17th (my birthday. hehe), went for buka puasa at my ustazah's place with my parents. they knew that it was my birthday so they had a cake made for me and ustazah's children made fish n chips for me! very sweet of them. my ustazah also cooked for me. sedap gila! so terharu. hehehhe. had to leave early, so my parents had to go back with their fren while i took the car back home. the pizza guy was to come at 8.30pm. that night, i called my frens to come over to have a small makan2 at my house to celebrate my 21st birthday. it rained really heavily that night, was a bit sad cause i thought i wouldn't get to play my bunga api. nasib baik hujan berhenti. so i got to play the bunga api with my frens that night!!!!

anyhoo, i was very upset tho that night as my frens were to come at 8.30pm but they came at... 9.30pm! they were never THAT LATE. was really down cause i was all alone at home, had to set the tables myself, was all pretty up, glad to get the dinner table done. but my excitedness died when it was 9pm. i have the most unpunctual frens ever. hahaha. thank god they made it up to me by surprising me with balloons and they were all wearing different kind of hats and gave me a "crown". after few minutes of calming myself down, i was back to normal n having fun with my friends! one of them broke a jug tho. ahhahahha kesian dia. nasib my mom didn't like that jug that much. i really appreciate them planning a surprise for me cause they hardly plan stuff for our get together. hahahahha! it's true! so, i was very touched. altho, i wasn't that surprised cause when my bestfriend called me, she sounded restless and asked me to go outside when usually she would just press the doorbell. ahahaahah! i know u too well azd. :p all in all, it was a good good night!

on September 23rd, celebrated my bestfriend's (Izyan) 21st @ Delicious. had a table booked at the very corner of the restaurant cause my friends n i, we can be a little bit LOUD when we're together. (a little bit ke?!) we wore party hats and hanna baked the birthday cake! unfortunately, the cake met an accident so the side of the cake was dented (some reckless driver caused hanna to make a sudden break and the cake smashed the side of the box). but the manager was oh so kind, he said they would help to modify the cake! he even took a picture of us and print it there n then!! the pic was put in a frame with the word delicious at the side!!! it was nice. good food, good ambience, good friends.. love it!

Berlalu lah sudaahhh ramadhan~

2009-09-22T06:42:00.003+01:00

SELAMAT HARI RAYA!!!!
i would like to apologize to all if i've ever said or done anything wrong in any way.
May god bless us all!

HAVE A HAPPY RAYA!!! let's start a new year, all fresh up!

The death of a knight, a king, and a star

2009-09-15T15:55:00.005+01:00

22nd January 2008, Heath Ledger left the world.

I wasn't really a fan of Heath Ledger, but i must say, he was a heart-throb. He had good acting skills and the best, in my opinion, was shown when he acted as the joker in The Dark Knight. I loved him in 10 Things I Hate About You. He had the sweetest smile! my sister was a fan of his and i told her about his death and i think she was really upset about it. :( It's such a pity to loose such a young actor who have yet a long way to go in the world of great movies. May u rest in peace Heath.

25th June 2009, Michael Jackson left the world.

His death was really a shock to me. My mom texted me about his death and i was stunned. I didn't expect, off all people, M.J. would pass away. U know, cause with all his This Is It tour and how big it's gonna be. I watched tribute for him on MTV. I cried my heart out watching his close frens n family trying their very best to be strong while giving their speeches. The next day i had two big swalloned eyes and my mom dare not ask me about it. huhu. He has influenced generations of musicians and music. No one in this world can dance like Michael Jackson. He is truly, one of a kind. May u rest in peace M.J.

15th September 2009, Patrick Swayze left the world.

He was famous for his role in Dirty Dancing but I liked watching him in this movie called To Wong Foo, Thanks For Everything!. It's a movie about 3 drag queens going on an adventure looking for Julie Newmar. Swayze played the role of the leading drag queen. His two co-stars, or co-drag queens hehe, were Wesley Snipes and John Leguizamo. He was so pretty in that movie! (as compared to the other two.. hahah). His death was expected i guess as he was in a critical condition. Then again, i think he had the time of his life :) . May u rest in peace, Patrick Swayze.

wooh!!!! reunion with college peeps! and birthday party

2009-09-11T23:30:00.000+01:00

yesterday night, 10th September 2009, my college frens n i celebrated nana's, milo's and my birthday! and also as a small reunion of our batch! it was held at Ole-ole Bali and the ambiance was nice! ada mood gituh, sekali datang 27 budak2 kyuem nih kecoh satu kedai! ahahahaha. plus one of us had this really loud laugh going on! eh not me ok. kalah i! the food was good n i had my frens with me! it was nice. :) . my birthday is in erm.. 6 days time. and milo's on the 13th. nana's birthday was on the 10th itself! but we just decided to combine the three of us altogether! most of us agreed that it would be better if we were all seated in one loooong table. as that night, we had two tables and cam tak best sangat duduk asing2. i haven't open any of the presents i received as i shall open it on the 17th itself! but i did take a peak at those presents which were not wrapped kan.. i can't help it! heheheh.
i just came back from tarawikh and tahlil at my old sekolah agama. my sekolah agama well, it's not exactly a sekolah. when it first started, it was just a one-storey terrace house which was turned into a sekolah agama called Kafa Azzahrawan. i practically grew up there. started going there when i was erm.. wait lemme think.. erm.. 8 years old and up till now i sometimes go there for tadarus or tarawikh or sometimes just to go n support them in any activities they do like hari sukan or hari keluarga. my ustazah cooks the best sweet & sour lala ever!!!!! back then, when it was still at that house, (now they moved to a shop office building tuh so cam tak homey sangat dah lah, very erm.. school-ish jugak) we would all asked ustazah to cook for us, we would tell her what we want to eat for buka, our parents will fund it, and there's a feast! hahahha! gosh i miss those days! i miss my friends whom i was close to back then in Kafa as well. ahaha. i don't think i was all that goody2, was a bit hyper when i was small. always jumping around. very easy to spot me if i'm lining up. hehe.
DID i ever tell u that i was fired from being an assistant monitor back in primary school?!!?! and u know what the reason was?! the reason was... i talk too much!!!!!! i was only 7 for god's sake! gila bapak sedih ar masa tuh. tapi biar ar.. standard 3, i jadi prefect.. :P . i miss being a kid! being a grown up cam banyak benda kena fikir. but then, well there's the pros n cons no? :) as long as i'm happy! it's A ok!!! :x

butterflies in my head...

2009-09-11T23:12:00.005+01:00

if u'll be nice to me, i'll be nice to you.
what you give is what you get.

you didn't acknowledge me back then, or even spoke to me before, how can you expect me to be friendly with you all of a sudden? you might say i'm really arrogant but hey, you were like that to me. you might see me being friendly with your friends but when it comes to you, i'ld totally ignore. i think u know that i once had a crush on you. after i found out that you knew, i realise that you were being a bit nicer to me. If that's the reason.. oh no. if it's not, well then oh okay. you don't seem to have any problem talking to other girls, why can't u approach me like how you approach them? pls don't be mad at me for posting this. i've got to let it out. i don't care if u read it or not. i'm just saying what i wanna say. you can say what you want, that's your say. this feeling of mine is making me really confuse. i might be in denial by saying that i don't like you anymore. coz look who's blogging about this. heh. it's bcoz you kept on popping up every now and then! different from the previous people i had a crush on cause they would just disappear and never to be heard anymore or would end up with a girl and i can just forget about them.

don't complain about me not being nice to you and what not. i'm really sorry but it's not me to just go up to a guy whom i HAD a crush on before and talk like old friends. we're friends with the same people, why can't we act normal like they do? I've said what i wanted to say, i hope you'ld have a gf quickly so i can just forget about you. which i wish i won't have to do but.. neway, i don't like it when i know i could have just talk to you like normal but i just don't have the guts to bring myself and say something. If you're being moody about me posting this up, just think about what i've just said.

oh, i feel so much better after letting it out! wooh. after posting this, i shall just forget about this post and it'll just be another one of soraya's emo moments.

the day that the date is 09/09/09!

2009-09-09T09:09:00.000+01:00

yeap! it's 09/09/09! once in a life time bebeh! cool isn't it. my dad was hoping my niece would born on this date but oh well. :) . oh oh! another date that's gonna be cool would be 10th of October next year!! 10.10.10. sure byk org kahwin nanti. ada ong kan. hihi.

it's september and it means my birthday is coming and am about to go back to UK. :( . it's like a bottle of mixed up feelings going on. i feel like i wanna go back there, but at the same time, i'm gonna miss home. but then i think everyone feels the same way too! hmmmm. my mom had started asking me to make a list of things i have to bring back there. i'm making a list of food i wanna eat before i go back there! all the fast food outlets! wooh! A&W, Pizza Hut, McD, Burger King, KFC, Carl's Jr., etc...!!

i'm gonna turn 21 soon, and i don't feel any wiser or whatsoever. it's like when i was in high school, back when i was in form 1, i would have this perspective that the seniors in form 5 are so matured. but when i came to that, i didn't feel any different. it's the same old me! hahahaha. but then obviously, now am not like a 13 year old of course. some people can act and look so matured even when they're only in high school. whereas, my friends n i, well i guess cause we're all in the same gang. hehehe. nevermind.

speaking of them, i really miss them!!! i only met them altogether at once, erm.. twice since i got back! and 2 had gone back to the US! :( . August 19th, we had a reunion where all 8 were present, went for a friggin awesome karaoke outing! and then sleepover at izyan's apartment. we felt like housemates for awhile and izyan kept saying "rasa cam rumah org bujang" ahhahahah. bongek. we slept at around 6am. watched Coming Soon. don't think it was SCARY, more towards suspense. i bought helium balloons for us to play with. hahaha. we got a call frm the security asking us to keep the volume down. no surprise there. hahahhaha! lepas tuh semua ckp bisik2. hahahahah. pastu bila terkuat cam.. weh weh weh. hahahhaa.

we don't really meet each other that often. it's hard to find a free time, as everyone's studying at different places and have different holidays. so, when we're together, we can be loud and non stop laughter going on! which i think what everyone does when they're with their close friends. :) can't wait till the next funky munkies reunion!

U R THE CUTEST!!!! picit picit geram geram!

ROCKIN MTV and UP!

2009-09-02T01:41:00.006+01:00

My first concert and it was good!!! (above: izyan, aimi, aimi's fren named Farid, n moi). have to say i'm not a die hard fan of any of the bands that performed during the MTV World Stage live in Malaysia.. but i had fun!! i like All American Rejects so that was good enuf! Pixie Lott was cute! a new band that i discovered was Raygun.. oohhh diorang COOL GILA!!! hihihi. didn't watch BOys like Girls tho, cause i was bz eating pizza and izyan n i couldn't be bothered. hahaha. got a free plastic raincoat and everytime it drizzled i'ld wear it.. and it would stop when i wore it!! geram betul. at last it didn't rain, n i tore my raincoat like those human that would turn into monster. u know how they would tear up their t-shirt and roar or so? yea.. i tore it like that! hahahahahah! however, i left out the roaring part of course!

when i was sitting with izyan waiting for azd n rus, two guys came up to us and asked us to do a survey. before that, when we were lining up to go into sunway, the same guy (one of them) had asked my fren, Pam to fill in the survery but not us. Off all people for him to ask to do the survey after hours of being at the line and in sunway lagoon itself, he managed to find us again. so anyway, after we filled in the survey, i asked his fren to take a picture of us. let me just tell u, that the weather was really damp. and at times hot. so our faces were kinda like oily and sweaty la kan! so, when he was about to click the camera, he said "eh adik, muka u all kasi sikit kesat la. cam berminyak sikit" and i went "WHAT?! apa abang ni! eeeee" but then lap la kan! bongek betul!!! just take the damn picture boy! then he like do the action of wiping his forehead and all. heih. wtv it is, i had fun!! especially when i have my close frens with me at the concert!

Nana, me, & Izyan

i've watched UP!! Russel is soooooooooo cute!!!! rasa cam nak cubit2 jer! the story is actually quite sad! i was teary twice! hahaha. tot i was the only one, but my fren got teary too when she watched it! sad n funny! that's what i've got to say about UP! i just love watching the one where he tried to take out the plaster! that part is not shown in the movie tho, gotta watch it on youtube! watch that part people!! i think it's called russel band aid? hehe not sure.

Bandung

2009-09-02T01:19:00.006+01:00

i apologize for not blogging for about a month! huhuh.. was extremely laaazzyyyyy! bad soraya, bad. but anyhoo!! Bandung was good! didn't shop that much, to my surprise. i guess there's soooo many things that u can buy, u jsut can't decide what to buy! hihihi. they have all the branded items there at cheap prices.. AND NO it's not the fake ones!!! well, SOME are.. BUT some are not.. u know, it's like those warehouse places. i bought myself a Jimmy Choo handbag since it would cause about a thousand or so if i were to buy it at the shop itself.. so i got it for RM700 something! sukaa bag tuh. hehe. kalau dah harga camtuh tak suka kalau tak tau la kan. Also, in msia, it's hard to find Baby Phat's products.. especially the clothes. i bought this uber cool yellow Baby Phat sweater!! suka gila. rasa cam nak pakai hari2. i bought the same one for baby Dot too! hahahaha! i went to Gunung Tangkuban Perahu. where there were hot springs? is that what u call it.. kawah2 yg ada air panas tuh. k, i think i'm right.

my parents n i in front of one of the hot springs.

food was good too!! i recommend anyone who goes to bandung to go to The Valley which is situated on top of a hill and it has a breath taking view! went at night, it has a really romantic ambience to it tho. and also, this place called Kampung Daun! sedap gila food dia. the place is very green and has a man made waterfall. everyone eats at a pondok. a nice one that is :)my dish at Kg. Daun. Nasi ... Complete. i can't remember the middle name.

Bandung trip was a success i must say! but i wanna go to Jakarta again! huhuhu. Jakarta's Grand Kemang was a very cool hotel and Chito's was a great place to hang around!!!

the planned week!

2009-08-09T11:46:00.004+01:00

HELLO EVERYBODYYYYY! :) i've got this whole week planned out! oOOoO! i will be going to Bandung tomorrow! going with parents together with my mom's bestfriend, her husband, & son. hmmmm. hope the trip will be fun. IT BETTER BE.

ANNYYYWAAAYYY, after the day i got back, i've got a therapy to go to in the morning! THERAPY?! yesssss.. therapy. i'm on this allergy therapy using bio-resonance thing. google it up if u wanna know what it is. alternative medicine. well, i hope it works! i'm gonna have to go for the therapy 5 times. once a week. if it does work, I CAN EAT the stuff that i'm allergic to!!! i hope my migrain will go away too!!! i want to indulge in chocs okay!!! dah la kat overseas chocolate dia lagi sedap. grrrrrr! .

after the day of my first therapy which takes only half an hour jer. HAHAHA. MTV WORLD STAGE LIVE!!!!!!!!!!!! HERE I COME!!!!!!!! aaaaaaaa!!! woot woot!!! this will be my first ever concert!! lalalalala. altho, i'm not a die hard fan of those bands performing, it's gonna be fun! All American Rejects baby! oh, lemme tell u of what i would have thought of the best 21st birthday ever for my self!!! like THE BOMB ok.. FOR ME THAT IS. here it is, i was fantasizing about going to ARASHI's 10th anniversary concert cause it's around my birthday. BUT it's in Japan, the tix are only sold to johnny's entertainment members AND it's during fasting month. therefore, HAMPA. huhuhuhuhu. IF ONLY they would come down to msia!!!! urgh. their 10th anni concert will definitely be awesome!!!! cause usually these japanese idols, their concert would be a bit different. not just singing or wtv. dengan itu, saya ingin memaklumkan kepada anda semua bahawa saya akan bersuka-ria pada mlm MTV world stage live tersebut! banzai!!! banzai!! ;)

Bandung, soraya's coming!

Feeling lucky!

2009-08-07T09:58:00.003+01:00

I met up with my best old friends, Syaza n Aiman. Aiman is the only girl i know with Aiman as her name. All the other Aimans i know are boys. (aiman if u're reading this.. hehe). so what's all the lucky feeling about?? It was Saturday night, I'm at OU trying to find a parking space! and i got one! movie was starting at 8.45pm and was still driving around at 8.25pm! Time pressure and already stressed out Aiman told me to jsut randomly parked at the side and wait for someone to come out. a few mins later, a couple went out! and their car was parked right next to where i was!! i was sooo happy! i cheered and Aiman cheered too!!! kecoh gila dlm kereta. Then we saw the guy was looking at us and realised that we were cheering, he started laughing n even point at us!! he even told his gf to like look at us. it was like "eh eh, look at the girls! they're so happy to get the parking hahahahaha". bongek betul. but then we were LUCKY! made in time for the movie. oh u know, it's been awhile since the last time i went to rasta. i forgot the way out! i knew that one road would lead me to a cemetary and the other leads to home. i had to ask my fren to drive ahead and i tagged behind! huhuhu. oh! i almost forgot! WELCOME TO MY BLOG GIRLS!!

the same day, that afternoon, i went out with Intan n boy i was lucky to get a parking space right next to the entrance at OU! cam wahhh bahagia gila! AND THEN i went to Wondermilk to buy cupcakes, there was a parking space right in front of the shop!!! ahahha wheeee! oh, i watched SETEM with intan soraya. The movie, in my opinion, was kinda fun to watch! well not because one of the character's name is Suraya (ehem) but it's different from all those lovey dovey malay movies. sikit2 cinta, nangis2 lar.. pergh. altho, it got me all tension up when i was watching it because there was a lot of running n who would get the stamp and all. i got all excited too. hahahaha! so did intan! and when the guy said "Terima Kasih Cik Suraya" we both were just stunned. all in all, i like that movie! it's not THAT FUNNY.. but there r some here n there.

(the cupcakes i bought! the taste? LOVE IT!)

Yesterday, i met up with my petbrothers n petsister! altho i didn't spend much time with one of my petbro cause he came late!!!! like really really late! all because there was some miscommunication between him n Aiman (the other petbro). and the reason why i just had to go out with them yesterday because they prefer to meet up before their A levels results are out. ALL THE BEST!! neway, another lucky incident!!! we were to meet up at KLCC yea, and i don't want to go alone on the lrt cause i don't feel like it. eventho i've did it b4. so, called up alifa and she was going to sunway with her frens. i asked her to ask her frens whether they want to meet up at klcc. the next thing u know.. alifa told me that her frens had changed the venue to klcc!!!! which means, i get to go to klcc with alifa!!! AND THEN, apparently alifa's "friend" was going to meet his fren at klcc too.. since he's driving, i got a lift to KLCC!! YAAAAAAAAYYY!!!!! hehehe. THANK U alifa n "friend"!! ;) i wanna meet with my adik2 again! hopefully in the UK!

oh yeah! i've watched The Proposal too! funny! i like!!!! to the people who haven't watch it! take a time off and go watch it! Ryan Reynolds will not let u down! hehehe. <3

p/s: I WANNA WATCH UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I CAN'T WAIT!!!!!

food, music, n munky love!

2009-08-06T12:35:00.010+01:00

woah! was too lazy to upload anything on my blog. hehe. holidays turn me into a lazy bum! oh how cruel u holiday u.. (sarcasm..) let's see.. what have i been doing?!

i had this japanese food called Shabushabu!!! it's GOOOODD. i had it at this restaurant in Jaya 33. If i'm not mistaken the shop itself is called Shabushabu. i might be wrong. my fren said that shabu is a type of drug which i think so too! tapi yer la, shabu2 kan in japanese language. wtv it is!!! GO TRY IT! sedap! :) it's kinda like steamboat but it's not. here's a pic! i had the beef shabushabu.. they had it sliced really really thin! it's amazing how thin the meat was! and u see that small black pot there, uhuh yea, there's rice in it. so u've got meat, vege (the one on the left) and rice. wooh! perut kenyang.

i went karaoke with Pam, Alifa, Nana, Quiyah, n frens! celebrated pam's 21st! i love karaoke! can let loose and like wth lantak ar suara aku tak sedap tapi kau kena dengar jugak type of fun! hahahahhaha! went to Amp in Sunway Pyramid. cool juga la tempat karaoke dia. but the turn off is, there were only 2 mics!!! 2 jer?! like waaattt.. kan? red box kasi 3 okay! hmph. i wanna go karaoke again!!!! jom jom!!! people let's go!

went for one of my darling munkies 21st birthda bbq! it was the first funky munkies reunion since i got back! u know what, i think i just love the feeling of meeting frens who are excited to see u. it's like.. u feel cam.. awww they love me! :p . we had like a small "meeting" to discuss when we should all meet up again. semangat gila. tho, it seems impossible cause everyone's free at different times!! :( and also, two of them will be going back to the US soon n won't make it in time for my 21st! waaaaaaa! nampaknya dinner reunion before diorang fly balik la. damn i miss hangin with my funky munkies!

Pam : eh, soraya! adik u!!
Me : huh. mana?
Pam : (pointing to Aiman)
Me : Pam! Don't point! stop pointing. it's not aiman
Pam : eh yerla.. it's Aiman. betul adik u!
Me : nooo it's not. (decided to just call out his name) Aiman!
Aiman : (turned around) OMG Soraya!! what are u doing here?! bila u balik!! (went out of the line)
Me : (shocked). eh betul u! ahahhahahha! eh aiman! line up first go take out your money.

kecoh gila i ngan pam masa tuh. hahaha. after that borak2 jap. (tak penting.) :P

met up with one of my bestfriend, last sat. intan was suppose to join us but then the bf had asked her out before i did. DAMN IT! he beat me to it. hmph. watched Harry Potter that night as well with Alifa and her cousins. ok la.. but as usual, book is better.

yesterday was my sister's Baby SHower! it was really really entertaining for me! ahhahah! some of her frens just crack me up! they're so funny! the games that were played were fun too! especially the one where only the guys participated. they had to eat baby food, drink lemon tea from the milk bottle and wear baby diapers!!! lawak gila. they were going like "wehh, macam mana budak2 ni minum ar, dapat sikit jer weh"
hahahahhaha!

oh!!! i tried something new yesterday too!!! u know those helium ballooons yea, when u breath in the helium air and start talking, u will sound like a chipmunk. well, i did it!!! hahahahha! it was friggin funny! i'll post up the video after this post. :)

i self-quarantined myself for about 5 days cause i was sneezing. however, i think i was sneezing due to the dusts. hahaha. plus, my friends were all busy the first week i was back. apalar, i cuti korang semua start sem baru. heih. but oh well, ada byk lagi masa. :D the first friend i met up with was Mun, padahal baru jer jumpa masa easter hari tuh. ahahha. on wednesday, i met up with Fiq and we went for karaoke! best gila!!!! jsut the two of us and we took the high tea set, so fiq ordered some food together with some drinks. altho i spilled my drink cause semangat sangat nyanyi kan. bongek gila. we were singing to one of MJ's song and my hand accidentally knocked off the glass, habis tumpah. nasib baik tak pecah. i did a half split to avoid the water and we were both shouting sebab terkejut. hahahahahah! seriously it was farny. yesterday, i met up with Azd, it was really nice to see her after a long time!! missed her. haven't met up with the rest of the munkies and my ex-collegemates! gosh i miss them!!! will meet up with pam n alifa soon i think.

2009-06-23T23:04:00.006+01:00

PLEASUREEE BEACHHHH ;)

the name sounds wrong no? hahahha! it's actually just an amusement park!!!
i had LOADS of fun!!!! there were sooo many rollercoasters! and other rides too! tapi tempat tuh tutup kul 5pm, so tak sempat nak naik all the rides! i rode one rollercoaster, it's called The Big One! trust me it's big alright! cam panjang gila track dia!! we timed it before we went for our turn and the ride was like 2 minutes or so! takut sangat masa dia turun tuh! i was like screaming n screaming! and open n close my eyes! jsut to see where and what's going on! ahhahaha but then takut so tutup mata balik bila nampak! tinggi gila! (p/s: i'm afraid of heights!) nadia pandang bawah n tutup mata the whole time! she didn't scream a bit! hahaha!
i went go-karting (is that the right spelling?) for the first time!

i went for this ride called Valhalla and it's a bit like that ride yg kat Sunway Pyramid tuh, yg naik log tuh, tapi tak setinggi kat sunway la. yg kat sunway tuh just naik and turun bedeboosh! right. but this one was like.. it'll let u experience a few weather.. cam there was really really cold weather, windy (it was bloody dark and they had some air blown at our face!), hot (they had fire blown up around us) and then there was this one part the ride just stopped. all of us thought like, the thing rosak ke apa. sekali dia cam slowly rotate and it fell down backwards!!!!! bongek gila! dah lah basah ride tuh!!! we were in a viking-ish boatlike thingy sailing around and the path takes us on a ride la. because it was pitch black, u don't know what to expect, tau tau AAAAA dah turun!! bedeboosh! hehe FUN!!!!
and then Nadia n I rode on this horse ride. i feel so freee when i rode it! kinda scary tho when it takes a sharp turn the horse was like "TURN!" cam omg! both of us were like terkejut2 like that. hhehe. there were many other rides too. all were fun! :) happy happy

last friday, i went to cheshire oaks, a shopping place full of all the branded outlets! well not all. didn't really shop a lot. takder byk benda yg interest me. hehe. altho i did bought a little white dress. i was looking for a little black dress and i ended up buying the opposite! well, the price was from GBP150 to GBP40. and it was a nice lacey one! couldn't help it! with the price reduction! so vulnerable i am to the sale. hehehe. it was "from me to you, Ted xx" so u do the thinking on what brand it was ;) i just love the labels! so sweet.

i watched Transformers 2 just now!! it was COOL! rasa cam nak jer masuk dlm movie tuh! hahahha! cause it's friggin cool! and the cars! like omg. my favourite Audi is in it!!!!!! can anyone tell me the model of that Audi?? it was around the beginning of the movie. i loveeee that Audi!!! haihhhh. (Day dream jap)

went for a bbq yesterday too at Syahir, Don, and Afiq's house! last gathering before they all leave! hmmmm rasanya, akan rindu jugak ngan diorang. especially rgen, he just cracks me up! so funny! :)
i also met up with a few of my int. frens these past few days jsut to say goodbye before we all headback to our homecountry! so glad i've found such nice frens!

think i better start packing now! masih tak pack2 lagi! tak sukaaa!!!!!! dah la berkotak2 kan! ngan luggage bag lagi! urgh!! syufiza!!! tolong!!!! kalau kat kolej awak selalu tolong kite bila bab pack-pack barang nih! :(

next post, i'll post some pics from what i've written here. ;)

how was my last day of exam?? well, surprise surprise ;)

2009-06-17T23:43:00.005+01:00

I've finished my exam!! yay!!!!!! first year of being an undergrad student had passed! boy how time flies huh. anyway, TODAY was such a windy, wet n cold day! it was soooo gloomy. the weather here has some effect on my mood. hahhahha. so anyway, so sad that the last day of my exam was to be with such a gloomy day. PLUS, the paper was ermm so so.. everyone kept saying it was soooo good! but to me i wasn't sure whether it was good or bad. so wasn't too happy about it.

had lunch with Chu Chu before she flies off to China tomorrow and then head back to my flat to watch some of my Arashi's tv shows. I was to meet up with the rest of the gang (i.e. nadia, nana, luq, danny n syakir) as nadia said that syakir made rendang and we were all to meet up at the previous bbq spot but it was raining heavily so i was like calling syakir n nadia asking whether it's still on or not. Syakir didn't picked up, couldn't get thru nadia. When nana picked up, she said it was on but not sure where. Syakir called later n i straight away asked him whether it was cancelled but he said.. no no it's still on, we're going to nadia's house. which i found to be kinda odd cause gatherings would usually be at my kitchen. tapi cam kat rumah nadia.. cam hairan. so thought a change of venue would be okay.

nana then sms me asking what time am i coming cause they're all hungry and wanna eat with me. so i quickly prayed and head to nadia's place. when i reach there, nadia was like, u tau tak nana sorang jer yg baru sampai. then when i entered her room.... TADAAAA! everyone was there to surprise me for my 3 months in advance birthday!!!!! 17th June yea and my birthday is on sept 17th! haha! so sweet of them to celebrate it while we're all together! i've never told ANYONE about this before but now i'm gonna tell you that i've always always always! wanted a surprise birthday party. but i never did get one. cause i mean, if u tell someone that u want one.. obviously u wouldn't be kinda all surprise right?? plus, none of the people i know back home seem to plan anything for me. i am the one who's always planning stuff, even for my own birthday. heh. was hoping that one of the many people i know would actually plan something for me but oh well. hahha.

u have no idea how happy i am to have the surprise 3 months in advance birthday for me! u know the feeling off how much effort people put into something just for you?? if u do, then good for you cause i love that feeling! and that's what i felt! still feeling it! hahaha! a very very very very big thanks to Nadia for planning it!!! and of course not forgetting Nana who helped out too. ANNNND also to Luqman who masak the nuggets! and of course to Syakir n Danny too!!! u guys turned my gloomy day into a bright n fun one!!! thank u thank u thank u!!! u guys might not see my expression being so surprised or happy or whatever but trust me.. deep down inside i felt sooooo happy and touched that u guys did that for me! i feel.. appreciated!! :P yes i do!! it was a great day in the end and i thank yall for that! xoxo!

tomorrow will be an outing to Pleasure Beach, Blackpool and we shall see how it goes! :D till then, toodles!

Spain trip go bye bye

2009-05-24T02:42:00.003+01:00

i know i've said that the previous post will be the last till i finish my xm. BUT.. i feel so devastated right now. I'm not going to Spain this June. i've planned it, i was excited about it and then BAM, i'm not going. WHY?! WHY?! well, lemme just say, health is more important than holiday no?? it's the Swine Flu people.. selsema babi tuh.. mmg babi pun. kacau jer plan org. anyway yea, my fren emailed the embassy there and ask the condition of it like last month i think and she got their reply yesterday and they adviced us not to go. Hence, we decided not to go. yer lah, nanti kalau dah kena haaa kan dah. but but waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!! i was really looking forward for it!!!! waaaaaaaaaaaaaa urgh! dah lar.

hmm, as the saying goes... better safe than sorry...

k, off for subuh prayers! :) awal gila doh.
-end-

i too will finish my exams.. > |

2009-05-20T20:25:00.005+01:00

Yes people, my exam is just around the corner!!!! some peeps i know have finished their exams!!!! some are in the exam period and me?? well, my exam starts on May 28th and ends on June 17th! JUNE 17TH OKAY!!!! cam pahal lambat sangat!?! urgh!! everyone else will be over and done with by then! i'm kinda stressed out as i haven't finished revising my modules. i have 5 papers and i've only finished revising one of the modules. That's because i had a test on it a few weeks back. and did u know what was the average percentage mark for that test?? 45% !!!! 45% okay!!! what did i get?! borderline pass.. nasib baik pass! thank god! nasib baik that topic will not be asked in the exam. but still have to practice for the other topics right?! RIGHT! heih..

i haven't touch the modules that require writing long essays. I SUCK AT ESSAY WRITING! i mean, fiction is fine.. non-fiction?! the horror the horror.. i've been getting between 50% - 65% for my essays so far.. :( ngeng betul.

i can't wait for my trip to Spain! HOPEFULLY everything will go well for my exam.. so i can enjoy my trip with ease and then when i head back home, HOME SWEET HOME.. i long for u, xm results will be mailed to me and and and when i get good results... I'LL BE MUCH MUCH MORE HAPPIER!!!!

home + good food + family + friends + good results = A VERY VERY HAPPY ME!

therefore my dear blog, i shall not blog for quite awhile and try my best to FOCUS! (which i doubt to be 100%) but still FOCUS! aight, till my exams end... miss me! xx

HAPPY HAPPY JOY JOY

2009-05-15T11:58:00.005+01:00

(that's me if i was a sun).. hehe. bright and happy. I've just finished my management presentation and i feel really really happy right now!!!! i feel so relief that it's over! yay!!!!! (clap clap clap) i was so freaking nervous before going the lect. theatre with 3 other groups members. we were all nervous i think. we had our own small cheer going on before going in. all went well, i think i went a bit too fast in the beginning. u see, i tend to talk really fast when i'm nervous or really excited. hehe. i thought i was gonna get a heart attack or something when my friend before me was about to end her part. my heart was beating really really fast. never felt that nervous before. maybe cause there's marks for this presentation. well, then the 2nd time for my turn to present i slowed it down. hehe. All in all with all our hardwork in making this presentation a success. i think it was definitely a success!! the markers liked it. (thumbs up for that!). and we liked it too. it couldn't have been better! Alhamdulillah.

Alhamdulillah syukur nikmat, malaysia maju rakyat selamat... hahaha anyone remembers this song?!?selalu keluar kat RTM 1 kut dulu. hehehe. damn random lah me.

ohmigosh! yes! last sunday, i planned a surprise party for Nadia and Syazwan

! and it was a success!! here's a picture of the birthday cake! That's the Clone Trooper from Star Wars!!! i wanted that for my birthday.. but on my birthday i'll be in malaysia, Iqa said to buy it for them. huhuh. takperlah. hehe. it even tastes good!! the cake was erm those normal ones but with raspberry jam in the middle. nice! I had everyone to gathered at my flat to help fry the nuggets and blow the balloons. Iqa then went to Nadia's flat and told her that she accidentally left her keys in her room and lost my number. hahhaha! she went on and on when nadia didn't even know what iqa was talking about! in the end, nadia just went "so where do u want me to go?" haha! senang gila. after that, when i let them in the flat, i just talked to nadia while walking towards the kitchen and then Surprise! we sang happy birthday to nadia AND syazwan. that really got syazwan surprised. cause his birthday was way back, but we didn't celebrate it cause he was in london the whole of easter break. it was fun! hope they had fun too!

okie dokie! now i must go and start on the poster for the farewell dinner. so i'll have time for other important things! till then, toodles! ;)

my obsession with......

2009-05-05T21:45:00.004+01:00

ok, i decided not to post up the pics YET.... cause i'm soooooo lazy to do it. i've been extremely busy and am still am.. well not as busy as before but still am!!! i've just submitted my report!!! yay!!! and now i'm preparing for my management presentation next week. I'VE ONLY GOT 3 WEEKS AND 2 DAYS LEFT TILL MY FIRST PAPER!!!!! GOSH!!! damn u cute countdown! (siapa suruh letak kan..) hehe :P. anyway, there'll be a farewell dinner most probably on the 16th of May and i'm in charge of food and decorations! the theme is Retro Flashback! i'm sooo excited! it's the hippies era. sooo PEACE DUDE.. :) . so yes, with that, presentation and studies! wooh! one busy bee alright!
hmm, it has been raining the whole day today! saya hampa. oh oh, this may seem really random but but, ada this one group of guys in my lecture and they're all international students in that one gang. One Italian, 3 frenchs, one norwegian, one indian, and one is from i think he's from cyprus.. they are all intelligent and goodlooking. if they seat in a row in the lecture cam waahhhhhh.... hahahha! :P

ANYHOO, referring to my title of this post. i was once obsessed with this South Korean pop singer, dancer, model, AND actor named Jeong Ji-Hoon or better known as RAIN!!!! wooooohhh!!!! haahhahaha! started after i watched Full House. i had his pictures all over my room back in college. open my cupboard and pap gambar rain kat cermin.. my walls where i have some words to motivate myself, a few of rain's pics around it. hahahhaha! AND THEN.. i even did a presentation on Rain!! it was for IELTS.. and miss rena let us pick our topic on what to talk about. so i talked about Rain! i even printed out pictures of him and passed it around the class for them to look at. hahahahhaha! boon seong would surely remember this presentation of mine. :P all my pictures of rain are now gone cause my old laptop went kaput and since there were no backups. yea. gone.. gone (n'sync).. one of my sad memories. :(. oh! he came to malaysia once, for his asian tour concert. i really really really wanted to go BUT i had to go back to college. nangis kut masa dlm kereta! hahaha. i got the poster jer cause my sister's boss went to the concert.. and she got the RM1000 punya ticket for free! she didn't even know who Rain was!!!!! felt like banging my head to the wall when i heard that. mmg masa tu jealous gila ar.. hahhaa. kesian soraya. well now, i'm not SO obsessed with Rain anymore cause he totally changed his look tak sukaaaaaa :( not cute anymore.. looks a bit scary too.. with the long hair and all so buffed up like Ninja Turtle. hmph. however, Full House 2 is coming soon.. hopefully he'll be the oh-so-cute Rain again! ngeee :)

so then, after rain, i'm now a lil bit.. well i don't think i'm obsessed with him yet (belum sampai tahap tu lagi).. with Daniel Philip Henney!!!! this one.. mmg omggilahandsomesmartoOOoOhawt! ahhahhhhahha! i can't remember how i found out about him. i think it was after watching Seducing Mr. Perfect which i have to say.. he IS Mr. Perfect in that movie... or when i was with Shika youtubing for something and we stumble on daniel henney.. then after that dua-dua org tersengih-sengih tgk si henney tuh. hahahahahahah!! oh the memories... :D anyway, it seems that he's not that hot in Wolverine according to some of my reliable sources :) . but i don't care.. he's Henney!! he's not even my bf and i get all protective about it when one of my friends suddenly became sooo into him.. hahhaha! dasyat kan? tuh lar. haha. my friend saw him in person before.. and she said he was such a gentleman! score! ahhahaha! Iqa told me about Lee Min Ho, another korean actor. very nice smile. tapi cam.. i dunno, there's something wrong. hahahha. me no likey but she likes him. WHY are all these korean actors so cute!! or hot!!! WHY don't the koreans in my uni look like them?! WHHYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!?!!!!?! huhhuhu.

ohmegosh, i better go now! it's already 11pm! need to do work!! bloggy made me procrastinate.. ish ish. byeeee now!! :D

Someone thought...

2009-04-25T15:21:00.002+01:00

Last night, someone thought i wore tudung for good!!!!! sorry to disappoint u kak, hehhee. the conversation :

Kak : Tahniah yer soraya!

me: huh? untuk apa?

kak : yerlah, sebab kamu dah pakai tudung.. cantikk jer

me yg tgh tahan ketawa: eh, takder lah. ni sebab saya baru balik dari tahlil.
(Nadia who was next to me was laughing her ass off!)

kak yg tengah nak coverline: oh. well, apa salahnya kalau pakai terus

me explaining: ehhhh saya belum ready lagi.

i've said it before in this blog about this tudung issue. so i will not talk about it again. :) i hope no one will comment on this too! hehe thank u!

ANYWAY!!!! i just came back from Lancaster Family Fun Day held by KULM and with a BIG help from the Cartmel postgrads. they were really a big help and they did a very good job at that too! haven't got the pics, so will post it up later once i have it. there was this game where wife had to stand at the finishing line and their husbands were all blinfolded. what the husband got to do was to run to their wife. the wives were holding a stick for the husband to grab on to avoid them hugging someone else's wife! the wives had to guide the husbands by shouting "Abang! Abang!" HHAHAHAHAHAHAHH! serious lawak gila. terpekik terlolong la bini2 korang suma. ahhahahha!

i joined the game "mamat stylo" and "treasure hunt". lost in both! huhuhu. but oh well, it's all in the name of fun! i joined this game called "helikopter mabuk" last minute, and it's that game where we played in BTN. for those yg pergi BTN la k. the one where we had to spin around with our finger touching the ground and then run to the finish line. but this time we had to run BACKWARDS! pening gila masa tgh spin tuh. then i had to run backwards! my friends said i was going away from the finishing line! hahhahah wasn't a straight path at all! when i reached the finish line i fell flat on my back. sakitttttt. huhu.

now, definitely no more play time for me!!! i've gotta get my coursework done, presentations and of course, study for the upcoming exam in May!!

till i post up the pics in the next blog, toodles! xx

the last stop during Easter Break!

2009-04-16T12:29:00.008+01:00

Hello Blog!!!!!!! ngeee :D Last weekend i went to Coventry to visit my college frens! it was a great weekend!! the night i reached there, Syukri had made Cucur ikan bilis!! (as promised).. and it was good!!! thanks Syukri!!! and Faten made Padprik Ayam cause soraya nak rasa!! hahahah! it was really good too!!! and Alia made the desserts, Brownies and Pineapple cobbler! didn't taste the brownies (not a choco eater) but the pineapple cobbler sedap!!! oh oh! and Iwan rajin masak and sdap pulak tuh! thank u korang!!!!! two thumbs up for yall!

8 of us came down to coventry and joined by some of the warwick uni students, all 15 of us went to Warwick Castle last Sat and it was interesting i must say! 15 people. ramai kan?? the more the merrier! everyone who worked there were wearing those medieval clothes! is it called medieval? yes i think i'm right. anyway, yea! felt like we've stepped into another era. there were performances as well, but i only got to watch the Trebutchet where they threw a stone i think using a thing which looks like a catapult but it's called trebutchet. hhehee. wanted to watch THe Jousting show but we didn't know where it was. huhu. 7 of us then went for the Warwick Dungeons and hampa jer. tak takut pun. well, a bit scared pun cause it was dark and my imagina tion runs wild. HAHAHA. padahal nothing pun. i think London Dungeons would be much scarier! on the way back to coventry, we had a stop at Leamington Spa and went to Jephson Park just to take a few pics! it's a really nice park, with all the flowers blooming. lawaaaaa!

when we came back, Milo and laila dah pengsan (tidur i mean) and so, yazira, keena and i decided to play cards. we got bored off playing all the card games that we learn the night before, we decided to try and play Old Maid using the normal deck of cards. it was never ending! we gave up on that. hahhaha! too much cards and very small probability of getting the same cards.
btw, on fri night, when we were all playing cards, that was the first time i heard a card game called Declare and after syukri explained how it goes, Yaz didn't get it. So, i told her that u have to declare who ur boyfriend is, tuh yg declare tuh. i thought she knew i was joking. then syuk explained again and Yaz asked "so bila nak kena declare siapa partner kite?" HAHHAHAHAHHHA!! semua org cam.. larrr.. hahhahahha! kesian Yaz! sorry babe. :) then later that night, nain, mot n najib came by and i learned another card game called Loser. i think it's such a long game. not really into that one plus it was soooo quiet when we played it. hahaha semua org serious.

i hurt my left foot after all those walking around. have no idea what happened it just hurts. feels like cram but not. haha. sunday morning it still hurts but by noon it was getting better, maybe cause i kept massaging it. on Sunday, we planed to go for a picnic but it was drizzling a bit and very cloudy. so we just decided to take a walk around campus. then the guys wanted to play cricket so we all went around. i didn't play tho. there was a rugby ball, so qilotte, faten n i decided to play pass the ball. then after that milo n iffah joined and mot thought us how to play Touch Rugby!! us girls were soo used to passing the ball foreward! when we had to pass the ball backwards, it was quite tough cause we were always infront of our teammate who's having the ball! or maybe it was just me. hahahha! first timer okay! so the touching part comes. hahha touching part. k, i accidentally "touch" Faten a bit too hard i think that she fell to the ground. more like a teeny weeny push! sorry faten. lari2 pastu nak touch orang, i tertolak. then she claims Qilotte main ganas. heih budak kecik nih lar. hahahhhaha! kidding. well after that Faten made a come back!!! hahaha! qilotte was really really near to the touching line! and Faten was coming for her but she slipped and when she was falling she grabbed the nearest thing to her and it was Qilotte's hoodie!! she grabbed the hood and qilotte fell too!! sayand jer! dah nak sampai dah. hahahha fun fun! after faten and gang went back, milo and i stayed back. watched the guys played their own version of Baling Selipar. they used the cricket sticks and a tennis ball to replace the slippers. it was sooooooo funny watching their face expression when they were avoiding the ball! and when they rush to make the sticks stand. hahahaha! very entertaining.

the last night i was there, milo and i watched Takeshi's Castle!!!!!! it was so funny!!! we laughed till our stomach hurts! ahhahhhahah! the person who came up with the games is evil! i felt pity towards some of the contestants cause they were really really determined to get thru the obstacles! and when they don't get thru, cam frust jer. but their acts are funny! hahaha! Monday morning, the sun was up early and it was such a bright day!! rasa cam coventry tak nak kitorang ada kat situ jer. the whole time we were there, the weather was gloomy and on the day the last two visitors were going back, it was a beautiful day!!! cis. neway, i went to the Transport Museum with Milo before heading to the trains station. when both of us were walking around, then milo just took a look at her watch and it was alreay 12.30 and my train's leaving at 12.45!!!! ha kau, kelam kabut dua2 raja. ahahhaha! didn't take the bus cause it might come late so we went by foot! we were walking really fast and then running, then walking, then running! hahahaha! i reached there at 12.41 or so. very tiring. running around with that big bag of mine.

i didn't get to hug my friends who went back earlier. :( . really wish i had. dunno when i'll get to meet them again!! maybe back in Malaysia? with god's will, i hope so! again, thanks for the great weekend! xx!

it's my 100th post!!!!

2009-04-08T21:55:00.010+01:00

this is my 100th post! and about time i gave my blog a facelift! :) i think it looks much prettier and cheerful now. agree? yeap! :)

i have been the ULTIMATE procrastinator i tell ya. when holiday kicks in, i seriously have no mood to study!! i have a test on the 23rd and a report to be hand in on May 6th. i've started studying, still very slow progress but nothing yet on the report. i have myself to blame really. even when i motivate myself, i still can't kick in the study mode. i think i have to go to the library but it's such a long walk and with the ever so unpredictable weather. sheesh. skejap hujan skjp terang-benderang. sometimes both at the same time. heih.

TODAY! today was fun! Nadia and I went to town and we watched 2 movies right after another!!! we watched The Haunting in Connecticut and Monsters Vs. Aliens! there were only 6 people in the cinema when we were watching the horror movie! haha! the movie was good!! t'was based on a true story too. ooOooO! hehe. oh yes, i'm most probably will be getting a niece!! congrats to my sister! hehe! very happy that Dot's a girl! well, i don't mind really if she's a girl or boy. but a girl would be so much easier to dress up! and being that she's most probably will come into this world around my birtday@ a virgo!! i have a feeling that i'll get along very well with my darling niece!!!! soooo happy!!!

after my trip to coventry, i think i better FORCE myself to work hard! with all the UMNO activities coming up. gosh. things are gonna be stress up! i can picture it now! woooh! :P ok SOraya (note to self) work hard so u can get that ever-so-hot-looking Audi u saw! let's start working with some positive thinking and a great big smile! hmm.. let's see..

ngeeeee :D :D am smiling alright! ;) daaaa!

I am sooo hot!! i burn!!

2009-03-29T20:33:00.000+01:00

OH YES. which leads me to this, have u guys tried this thing called urban dictionary?? hahaha! it's so funny. just type in ur name and see what is the definition. i'll give u mine..

Soraya

A hilarious girl, who loves T.I. SO much....(obsession lol). Shes crazyy funn, outgoing and goes with the flow. Shes not THAT mean but her poor speakers died and she gives papercuts. She likes to follow guys on the skytrain and says "Holla at ur girl" Shes gangster to the max. she has an accent and says "its unbeliewable how wiwes use winegar". Mohobattein makes her sad. She's single,looking and likes long walks on the beach holla at her;) LOL!!

EASTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!

2009-03-25T12:53:00.000Z

Hello helloooow!!!! :D haven't blog for quite awhile as i was busy with my assignments. now it's easter break!! yay! finally, a break! fuh!. hehe. went to Sheffield last weekend. visited my very old fren, Munirah. i knew her since i was 7 years old. i think she's one of my close buddies who knows me very well. Anyway, Sheffield is quite a nice place actually. it's like they have places to just sit around and lepak. u can just bring ur food, sit there and eat such as this one place called Winter Garden. u can just go in it and sit n eat or just sit around. i find it peaceful. when i was in there, there was a pair of newly weds who was taking a picture. aawww so sweet. dua2 pun gebu. hahahhaha. watched a theatre called An Inspector Calls, a thriller which was not bad at all. twas my first time watching a theatre in the UK so i guess it was alright. but I really really would like to watch a theatre in London. like those erm, We Will Rock You or Chicago and etc. I will one day!! well, it was a nice weekend to meet her in sheffield. it was our first sleepover!

i came back last monday and that night itself i went over to Nana's house and watched some horror movies with nadia, danny n luq. we watched 2 movies called Demonic Toys and Puppet Master. it's not scary. disgusting a bit. belum sampai tahap gory. suspense and terkejut terkejut lah kut. The Puppet Master however, i watched it back then when i was small. so i remembered it as being scary, but bila tgk balik hari tuh cam. hmmmm.. bosan. oh well, budak kecik kan tgk cerita hantu pasal puppet bunuh2 orang. it's like that movie called It. i'm sure MANY of u watched it way back then. THAT MOVIE definitely made me afraid of clowns. up till now i dislike clowns. :P . another movie that made me afraid of this humanlike dolls would be Chuckie. eeeeeeee tak sukaaaaa. and i used to have a doll that looked like that. sangat horror. always imagine stupid stuff like the doll turned looking at me or coming at me. huhuhu.

oh yea!!! Last Friday, after handing in my last coursework for the term, (well i have another one but that's due in May, hehe.) i was sooooo bored, i called up nadia n nana asking them to go out and take a walk with me. it was such a nice day that i couldn't let myself just sit around in my room. then i decided to ask danny to come along. and then i was like.. hmmmm i think i wanna go to the park. i saw a sign which said something park (can't remember the name) when i was in the bus going to town. so i invited all of them to go to the park with me. hehehhe. syaz n luq too since they're the ones who live off campus. the park wasn't what i expected it to be. i was imagining it to be like those hyde park types.. not as big but something like that. but it wasn't. in fact, luq's n syaz's campus's compund is much nicer!! we ended up taking lots of pictures there instead. we then walked to Williamson Park which is like a hutan simpanan to me. there were so many dogs there. not stray dogs but they were not on their leash.

there was this huge dog coming along the path that we were all taking and some of the guys (i won't say who..) were already in front and only us girls were left behind. SO, i asked one of the guys to stay on my left cause i was afraid that the dog might lick me or something. cause i was wearing a 3/4 tights. if i were to wear like jeans or something full length then i won't be that afraid. but u know what that guy did?! he just said "tak nak tak nak" and walk quickly in front of me. i was shocked. i couldn't believe what he had just did. one of the other girls who heard what he said was quite shocked as well. i definitely didn't expect him to do that. or even say that. what type of guy is that right?!!!!!! i was so taken aback at that moment. fine la kan, i'm not ur gf so u don't have to protect me BUT i am ur fren!!!!! and like u're a guy!!! macho la sikit. pergh. besides that, at one point, we were walking and again the guys were in front (i don't really care tho who's in front of not) but the fact that, one of my toes suddenly cramped and 2 of the guys didn't even stop, they continued walking cam urgh. u don't have to like help me but will u just stop and wait. my girlfrens of course stopped and ask if i was alright and only of the guys did stop too. but one of my frens asked me whether i was acting. ada ke tanya soalan tuh. why on earth would i be acting in pain?! maybe she doesn't know that i always get cramps at my legs. hahahha. agak pelik la tanya soalan tuh. heih. i told her no and like i always get cramp. after that i had to walk slowly and no sudden movements. Unfortunately, on the way back, there was a huskie who was justbeing friendly and ran towards us which made all of us panic and yes, my toe cramp again. hahahha. i think i need to be on my calsium pills again. this time it hurt sooo bad, i kept on swearing. hahahahah! ANYWAY, back to the point, if i have a bf and let's say like i fell or suddenly my leg cramp or anything, and this happens in the public. if he feels embarassed to help me or like just ignore me, my god, i'll break up with him there n then!! tak guna gila. can u imagine if like u're walking with ur frens (boys n girls).. and like u fell or kaki cramp, and the guys just went like "cepat la weh, abaikan jer sakit tuh" or "what's wrong with u" or better just continue walking.. don't u feel like.. ermm.. hmm. i dunno what word to use. hahahhahah! u get my point. lalalallaa.

k, let's change topic now. hahahah! sleepover at nana's place tonight!!!! yay!!!!
i'm hungry now. lunch lunch lunch! :D till then! toodles!

Marching thru March

2009-03-10T18:15:00.002Z

well, seems that i haven't been blogging that often hmm.. cuba teka kenapa... ahhaha bongek. i've been busy with reports, assignments, etc. i don't quite like this university life. but then again, when i start working, i bet i'll say something like "i wish i was back in uni".. and with my uni life being in the UK.. i'm sure gonna miss it at that time. oh well, that's the future, shall not worry about that yet. should be grateful no? but there's so many things to do and every subject is getting tougher! and yes.. i bet one would say "oh well, that's uni life".. urrgh. not going anywhere with this.. therefore, basically, i've gotta enjoy every moment of my uni life and make sure i get good grades!!!! GAMBATE!!! :) (a bit of motivation going on here yall.. hehe.)

a few days back, i watched a video of Dot (my future niece or nephew).. he or she has got arms n legs now!!! and all of us once looked like aliens don't we? when we were in our moms womb when we were just about to form into a normal human shape.. we really really looked like an alien.. u know how people always describe aliens as big head two big eyes.. yea.. like that. and yet we then were created into beautiful human beings.. the wonders of god. Masyaallah. :)
still can't tell whether dot would be a girl or a boy cause the erm.. i forgot the name in english.. it's something cord.. oh yea, the umbillical cord kept covering that part so yea.. can't see yet. dot kept moving, i saw him/her golek2.. so cute. ingat mak dia punya womb swimming pool ker ar. kesian my sis. morning sickness n all. but i guess it's all worth it in the end :D

i had a chat with one of my close frens just now on msn and we were talking about relationships. it all started when i asked her about her status on facebook as she just changed it back to in a relationship. she told me that being together with someone is not like laying on a bed of roses.. it's not all that beautiful..
in my opinion, if u lay on a bed of roses, then it is like being in a relationship then wouldn't it.. yes it's beautiful and all, but sometimes u'll get prick with thorns. soo it's a yes and no thing going on there. hhaha.. but anyway, she told me loads of stuff just now and every single thing that she told me, i found it to be so true. like how u sometimes have to make sacrifices and all those stuff. well, followed by examples from her life. am not going to share it here tho.
i realised that she changed.. her perspective on relationship i mean.. compared to back then. she also said nice things about me not having one yet and all those stuff. which made me feel not pathetic anymore.. HAHHAHAH. but yea.. i'm really really glad that i talked to her just now. she's one person who knows how i feel cause she went thru more or less the same things i went thru.
oh well, my time will come. i have faith.

and yes, i think i ought to go now, got a project to work on. deadline's next week! huhu! fightooo-O!! till then... xoxo!

shopping makes me happy.. typical perempuan. HAHAH

2009-02-22T05:43:00.000Z

helluuuu dear blog!(wave wave).. hmm this font colour is so sweet. it's so girlish. anyway, i've finally finished watching Akazukin Chacha!!! the japanese cartoon i used to watch back when i was a small girl. Anyway, my friend n i are now looking for the japanese cartoon called Salad Juyushi Tomatoman

or better known as just Tomatoman . i wanna watch it! the characters' name in the cartoon are all so cute such as Princess Peach, Mama Letus, Patt Pitt Putt Pott (the quadruplet peas) and others. hehe.

went to town today, need to buy some stuff. made a last minute plan to watch Bolt and then i ended up buying some other stuff as well. huhuhu. but but it made me feel so happy for some reason. :P i bought this really really big bag. it's those beach bags and it's leopard printed!! it's sooo kewl. well to me that is. lalala. i bought two cupcakes which looked pretty n sweet and boy does it taste sweet too! the names of the cupcakes as printed on the label are Victoria(left) n Barbie Vanilla(right). hahaha. kawaii ne? anyway, Bolt was great! the hamster named Rhino is sooooooo cuddly!!!! no wonder my sister & my bro-in-law went to get a hamster right after watching that movie! hahahaha. there's also another character in it that is so adorable, but i don't know its name. it's a persian cat, one of the pets of the green eyed man. hahahaha. oh yes, we bought a large popcorn just now n gosh it was huge! it was bigger than my whole face! and nana ordered diet coke as well AND i guess the cashier thought we wanted large as well, she straight away took the large cup and fill it in before i could stop her. IT WAS THE BIGGEST CUP OF COKE I'VE EVER SEEN.

oh, today i had to wait for nana at the bus stand for like 20 minutes b4 going to town!!! never had i had to wait for someone that long! and we missed 6 buses that'll take us to town because she was late! but her reason was acceptable so yea, apology accepted. my dad's birthday is coming and i bought him a birthday card that's written "Brad Pitt has got the looks, Lennox Lewis has got the muscle, Richard Branson has got the money and Stephen Hawking has the brains but you've got something no one else has.... ME!" on it. awwwww right?! hahahahha! i hope he'll like it :)

i think i better get on with my work, spent half of the day in town. yesterday wasn't a productive day as well and tomorrow at 2pm going to kak Faezah's house for Usrah. so must get some work done tonight! i must work hard so i can get that Audi!!!!! FIGHTO-OH!!!
