BUTT? hehe BUT due to me being a procrastinator, i've managed to do an intro yesterday. waaaaaargh!!! teruknya. this is just me releasing my frustration! i feel so lazy but i must not!! waaaaaa. i never liked writing essays. ever since i was in primary school!! essay is my no. one enemy! unless like those fiction type of essays.. yea, that i don't really mind. but non-fiction, bluergh. so what am i doing here blabbering about all this gibberish to u bloggy! cause i feel like it. yea man. huhuhu. having my lunch right now, jacket potatoes with bbq chicken and fries! i love fries! love it love it love it. oh well, essay here i come!!! aim to write 600 words today!! gam-ba-te soraya!!!! yeaaaaa!!!! woot woot! semangat!!! -end-

a stranger who took my photo!

that's Hyde Park btw. well, part of it. Anyway, i was all alone sitting on the bench on the phone with my fren okay, when i was busy talking with my fren, a woman who was holding her SLR walked in front of me. i saw her but just ignore her well. yea.. just a passer by right?! WRONG. huhu. after she passed by, i saw her looking at me. i was like.. errr.. ?? she then took her SLR and just snap snap snap. siap focus focus lagi. then went to my right side pulak.. focus focus taking shots with her SLR. i was like.. WTH WTH.. hahhahahhaha. i kept on laughing and smiling cause it felt sooooo weird and awkward! i was telling my fren.. apa perempuan ni buat?! knowing that she doesn't understand Malay. hehe. pelik siut. wonder how the pictures turned out tho. elok kah??

after that, as i was walking around.. i saw her again.. she was taking pictures of all the random things. the rollercoaster, the people around n etc. after awhile, i bumped into her again, she was in front of me drinking and she put her bag on the table in front of me and i saw a tag which was written her name, job, address and contact no. apparently she was a professional writer and photographer! yea, that explains it!!! can't remember her name now tho. agak panjang gituh. the reason why i was walking around hyde park alone was they had this fun fair called Winter Wonderland going on and Ju-Vern had a part-time job selling hotdogs at some german hot dog stand. so, thought i'd followed her n hang around there for awhile. :) k, thought i share some things i find interesting in my life. heheh. (yea, getting my picture taken by some random person)

IT'S A NEW YEAR!!!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!!! hello 2009! :D celebrated new year at Embankment, overlooking the London Eye! it was nice! not THAT great.. but nice! :) my new year resolution is to not procrastinate n not be so shy! hahahhaha. fighto-oh!

i just came back from London yesterday around 3pm. had a good trip! manchester was nice. got to meet my cousin, his wife n baby! met up with Yasirah n Hawa Fatin as well!! Hawa was my tourist guide as Yasirah was sick. wrong timing lar yas to get sick. huhuhu. was really frustrated tho cause i didn't get to go to Old Trafford Stadium! waaaaa. cause it was raining. so cam kalau pergi pun tak boleh nak tangkap gambar byk2. lucky manchester is just an hour from lancs by train. will go there one weekend! hehe. went to Primark (had to c what's all the big fuss about primark), the museum, and ate Faluda(refer to pic, it consists of vanilla ice-cream, something like chendol but pink, strawberry milk? and selasih!) at Moonlight(ice-cream shop). the taste? quite good.

Met up with Alifa in notts! oh and her whole family was there as well! hahaha. met up with Fiqry n Laila as well. Laila was not feeling well tho, kesian. Fiqry tak payah ckp ar, sihat or x sihat, sure ada kat situ. stayed at Jannah's room. THANK U JANNAH!! hopefully i didn't mess it up or anything. i went ice-skating with alifa, her siblings and fiqry. alifa n fiqry are both in ice-skating classes! isn't that cool!!! i want to go for those classes as well!!!! kenapa lancs takder ice-skating class. haih. well, tempat nak ice skate pun takder kan. oh hampa... :(. oh well. next to the place where we ice skate, was where concerts are held. saw posters of rihanna, chris brown and others. cool lah! went to this thing called the tales of robin hood and bought my self a teddy bear dressed up like robin hood! kawaii! watched Twilight as well when i was there. the vampire was kinda creepy, the way he looks at the girl but sometimes at some angel, waaahhhh cair cair. hehe. well, he was cedric diggory! woot woot! oh yea, there was this one time when we were all walking in town heading to meet up with alifa's parents, i heard someone calling out "Melayu! Melayu!".. i was like.. "WHAT THE.." i turned back and looked. it was alifa's mom calling out at us! hahahhahahahah! kelakar gila! she called alifa's name but none of us heard, so she said, she new if she called us that, we were bound to look back! so true! hebat lah aunty!! hahhaha!

After that, off to Bath with Alifa! met up with Mariam (my primary schoolmate) there! Bath is such a nice place!!!! it's so classic with the old buildings everywhere. i like it! went to Roman Bath, Fashion Museum and took a walk at the Uni. the sports centre was the bomb! if i have that sports centre at my place, i would go 4 times a week! it's sooooo big and cool! they even have a trackfield!! oh!mariam's frens cooked nasi lemak and even made nasi kerabu! t'was nice. went to this shop called Ben's cookies and gosh their cookies are soooooo good! didn't go and look at the Stonehenge tho, coz mariam didn't wanna go. I'll go there next time. i wanna c it. :)

hmmm this pic's not that clear is it. oh well, this was at the Roman Bath. :D

Last stop, was London! Alifa went back to Notts tho. Stayed for a few days with Iqa at St. Paul's Youth Hostel which was really near the Cathedral. Gosh, the bell was SO loud! the room was not bad at all, just love the way the bunk beds were layed out. on the 27th i stayed with Ju-Vern till new year. nyway, on xmas day, Iqa & i walked to trafalgar square, waterloo, piccadilly circus, oxford street, and etc. very tiring. oh i had subway twice! finally dapat jugak subway halal. :) on boxing day i went shopping at Westfield! whee! bumped into Hamid there. didn't expect to bump into anyone i know there assuming that most people i know would sure head for oxford street. but he said it was good i didn't go there cause there were too many people. so woo hoo! tp kat Westfield pun lebih kurang jer. line nak bayar pjg giler! it's so stressful. huhuhu. didn't shop that much actually, i mean throughout my stay in london. got all the stuff that i wanted like a handbag and a pair of high heels. ada lagi lar but u don't need to know all. went to Harrods! bought a teddy! kawaii! didn't go to London Dungeons tho, cause ju-vern takut and tak sempat pergi Madam Tussauds. i've decided to go to those places the next time i go to London. oh and take a pic on Abbey Road (the famous pic of The Beatles crossing the road)! new year's eve, ju-vern n i took a walk at waterloo and how lucky we were as the people were doing the rehearsal for the new year's celebration. so we got to c the london eye all gleamed up with beautiful lights! and there was like a projection of a pendulum on a building and the countdown was shown there. thank goodness we went there that night as we didn't get to c it during the actual countdown as we were all (me, ju-vern, hwee yin, anusha, dinni, diana , sapna, hanad, luna and a few of their frens)on the bridge across it.

London is a cool place i must say. when i was in the train on my way back to lancs, i could really see, feel n smell the difference! everything was green.. no big buildings at all. the air felt fresher and felt calmer. and the smell, oh yes the smell, i don't know why but right now, this place smells like fertilizer! i think they put it at the trees or something. god knows where. but i could sure smell it! huhuhu. and now, i'm back in lancs all alone in my flat. can feel pretty scary sometimes. WOOH! hehehhe. bongek.

Hola!

hehehehe. pic frm my Samsung Tocco. i love it i love it i love it!

Hola amigos!! it's not like i'm gonna go on a holiday to Spain or anythin'.. but i miss going to Spanish Club. huhuhu. i think i wanna go to Spain during the summer break. YEAP! :D . first and foremost, I made cupcakes just now!!! yay! unfortunately, it doesn't taste really really good. it tastes like.. apam. ahahha well not exactly like apam. i dunno how to describe it. well, it's a simple vanilla cupcake and i think i should've put icing on it. i'll try again some other time.

Raya Haji was okay. didn't feel like Raya to me. had lectures, and bila org buat opn house, i had classes to go to. so sad. but petang raya tuh, i went to the Surau as they had some mkn2 going on. :) dpt la food sedap sket that day! :) hehehe.

Christmas holiday just started!!! i'm happy sad! happy cause finally.. a break from studying n sad cause i have an assignment to do. haih. it's been awhile since the last post. my Ac.F test was not so good as i didn't have time to finish one question! waaaaaaaa. hopefully the other questions can help cover that one.

oh yea, celebrated Nana & "Luqman's" birthday last Saturday. u wanna know why i put Luqman's name in " ? well, because HE, the birthday boy didn't attend his own birthday dinner!! can u imagine that?! he didn't go for his own birthday dinner. the reason?? "oh u guys didn't tell me!" Nadia DID tell him and when nadia told him that she did tell him about the dinner. then he said "but u guys didn't confirm"... in the first place kan, kalau tak dgr berita ke apa ke. sms la tanya kan, jadi ke tak. ni tak. tunggu jer.. in d end, everyone else pergi except dia. thank god nana went. so we celebrated her birthday jer. nadia n i went out the day before looking for a nice place to have dinner for their birthday. we spent hours cause we wanted to go to this restaurant called The Royal Latinos Tapas Bar (mexican food) but it was fully book, so we had to make do with Verdes (italian restaurant) instead. we were all trying to get luqman but his phone was switched off! and it got us all worried. then when syaz went back he saw luq walking all healthy. (we thought he was sick or something). and he blamed us for him not turning up 4 d dinner. syaz on the other hand who stayed near to luqman didn't even bother to call him up before coming tanya nak pergi together ke tak. i tell u, i don't understand them at all. they live like only 10metres apart and don't bother telling each other stuff. haih. felt so awkward having to meet luq the next day cause we had a project to do. i think he felt the same way too. but thank goodness everything was back to normal after a day or two. :)

Last Friday night, i went to Sugarhouse again for the Christmas party. Nadia & I had so much fun! the songs that the dj played, ooohhhh we know most of it alright! best! a lot of my classmates were there too! well, cause Sugarhouse belongs to the Student Union so yea, only uni students are allowed there. :) there were some people who dressed up as a xmas tree, santa, and reindeers! went there with Danny and his frens frm China and when we reached there, more frens frm China! huhuhu. they were all nice people and got one cute one.. HHAHAHA. so yipee!! :) oh yea, there was this one night, where Iqa, Nadia & I made cucur bawang. and that night jugak ada fire alarm. ahhahahahaha! we were like.. it wasn't us right.. RIGHT?! buat cucur jer pun kan. plus, at that time, we've finished our cucur and were having our dessert (i.e. peaches and cream.. mmmm).

One of my partners in crime went back to M'sia yesterday. :( . sent her off at the station. how nice to go back to m'sia kan. haih. oh well, i'll go back too during the summer! :)

AND NOW.. some pictures! :)

They were so serious about it! they played it from around 10.30pm till after 1am!! all kiasu kaukau man. when iqa, nadia n i played, i think it was towards FUN. they played it like it was some kind of business or something but to them it was fun so.. OKAY... as long as they're happy. Luqman's and Nana's birthday are coming, we're organizing a party for them.. hmm.. where should it be.. usually it'll be my flat, that's like the hang out place for us, Soraya's kitchen.. anything sure assemble at my kitchen..
