An Appreciation Post

It seems like everybody's been posting about their new resolutions for 2011 and what they've done in 2010. Mine will be different, thanks to a friend who posted a strange status a few days ago, I've got an idea what to post haha!

There are 2 people who have done a lot for me in 2010. Dunno where to start so I took quite some time to get this post done haha!

This person always stood up for me in her own way whenever I was down. She could tell how I felt about certain things without even asking about it. Well, she should be; I've been living with her for 21 years already XD There was a time when I had a long spell of misery, she attacked someone for me verbally, asking what he had done to me that I had to be in such misery. I don't know what she said to that idiot but all I can say to him is serve you right. Don't mess haha! Another time was when a group of my friends started talking about me behind my back. I was mind-boggled by that of course, and she posted something about it. She slated my friends and their problems right in front of the whole world. That's not nice though; but it almost made me cry. Never once in my life someone stood up for me like that and I was glad she did that. That's what people say when it comes to love; it doesn't have to be told every now and then. You just have to show it in the things you do for your loved ones. More than words to show you feel, that your love for me is real *eh ape mepek ni XD*

She rarely gets her chance to hang out with her friends cos she didn't have many friends to begin with. So I always took her along with me whenever I was out with my friends. Basically, she knows all my friends and even grows fond of some of them XD

She can be quite loud when it comes to her wishlist; which makes it easier for me when it comes to buying her birthday present. Come to think about it, she was quite lucky cos I happened to have a big pocket on her birthday every year XDDDD This year? No comment haha!

Hey, I've always been her driver all year long. I should demand something from her as well XD but the thing is, I don't wish for anything yet at the moment. But I've already warned her to not buy me flowers on my graduation day haha!

Nabilah, ko cepat2 la grad. Takyah kite jadi drebar ko lagi XD

That sums up the part for my only sister. Next!

ade rupenye gamba korang berdua XD

Ish takleh nak cakap omputeh lak, rase cam poyo je haha! Ehem, sebenarnye da hampir 8 bulan kite nak gitau tapi tak terrr gitau lak sampai la sekarang. Tunggu mase sesuai nak cakap heheh tetibe ade lak status gile tu kan. Perfect timing haha!

Ingat tak mase kite pegi makan kat Pakli lepas balik dari Putrajaya tu? Mase tu, kite dapat wake up call; rase cam dapat tamparan hebat untuk berpijak di bumi yang nyata ni la haha! Mase tengah makan tu, kite macam 'Nape kite tengah ade dengan laki lain lak ni?' haha! Sebab sebelum tu, kite macam banyak termenung disebabkan sesuatu yang kite terase bangang untuk dinyatakan kat sini. Jadi, mase tu la kite baru tersedar dan lepas2 tu, kite rase cam senang ati gile sampai sekarang; terus lupe langsung la 'bende bangang' tu. Takpe, kalau 'bende bangang' tu tak penah jadi, part yang ni pon takkan wujud gaknye *ape mepek ni*

Tapi yang peliknye, you were always there at the right time. Setiap kali kite tengah tensen/bengang/panas ati/pendek kate, mase tengah rase pape yang negatif la. Pakai ilmu ape la si Fariz ni gaknye? XD Lepas da merapu, baru la rase rilek balik.

So for that, thanks for being my hero for the year :p Thanks for bringing peace back to my mind. Sampai bersemangat buat FYP la, gile. I owe you big time lah haha! Kite harap cepat2 la Fariz dapat keje, leh la belanje kite makan. Hakim pon Hakim la, asalkan ade orang nak belanje hahahahaha!

Ish dah2, kite lom nak mati lagi cakap bende2 cam ni XD Sebelum kite merapu panjang lebar, baik kite stop kat sini XDDDD

P/S: Everybody's getting worked up about today's date; 010111. What's with the obsession with numbers these days? pfftt~

Press Play

I've been longing to learn how to play piano. But sadly, I can't read the music notes argh my sister had taught me several times before about the middle C but somehow, I can't seem to remember it duhhh~

Now that I've found some sheet music for Westlife songs, my hands feel like touching the piano haha! But still, I can't read those weird symbols :(

I can play Starlight, sung by Muse and also the birthday song *if you're lucky, I may call you to sing happy birthday on your birthday :p* cos my sister already scribbled down the keys. So all I have to do is adjust the paper strip that contains the keys on the piano cos I still don't know which keys yet grrr~ basically, I know nothing but pressing the keys. Anybody can do that, I guess haha!

Looks like I need to rely on Google for the time being *sigh*

The Love for Cats

Prolly cos they're a bunch of cute furballs :D Ever since I was a kid, there would always be at least a cat in the house. When I was little, my family lived at my grandparents' house. My grandparents also have a soft spot for cats. Whenever my uncle or my aunt bumped into a kitten without its mom, they would take it back home with them. We took care of them until they've grown of course :)

After 1 semester in UiTM, my friend called me up one day to tell me that my turn to buy her cat had come. My family and I went to her house to take a look at her kitties. Her mom had already chosen one for me; she told me she chose the smartest one cos I'm smart *tak betul ni haha* anyway, the day to take the kitty home had come. We decided to buy two kitties; to pair them up so that they will expand the family tree XD

Now, the male cat has gone without a trace. But we still have the female cat and her grown-up daughter.

So, this cat, we call her Chip. I gave her that name cos she was born on the first day of Ramadhan. That time, I felt like giving names like Raya biscuits and so I did; Choco and Chip. Choco was adopted by my relatives who live just a mile away from our house. Choco died a few months ago without knowing the cause of its death. But we suspect Choco died cos of food poisoning. Most of our kitties died because of it.

*da jauh nyimpang dari tajuk ni XD*

There is only one way to make Chip follow you around no matter where you go around the house. Just pour some cereal into a bowl, she will start to watch you at that time. Then, pour some milk inside the bowl. After she sees you closing the door and walking away from the fridge, she will try to chase you. There was once I almost managed to hide from her, but she chased me upstairs and followed me to my room haha! All that she wants is the milk. She prefers to drink milk after anybody had done eating their cereal. So, we would leave some milk for her in the bowl and let her drink it.

Chip waiting for her turn to have her milk haha!

There are times when she feels like getting our attention. She will sneak inside the room and sitting on my desk. This one mischievous cat had turned off my pc for several times, sitting inside my box for the fun of it, sitting by the window watching the birds outside, sitting behind the monitor, biting the wires grrr~

Trying to get our attention

Everyday I see cats but I just can't get enough of them. As if I've never seen them before haha! Shady (he died last year also cos of food poisoning) was also one of the hyperactive cats but can be very fond of us at times. Whenever I cried, Shady would always come and sit beside me. While crying, I would give him a pat and stroke his long-furred coat *pathetic gile haha!* Whenever I felt happy, he would come to play with me. I had to be careful while playing with him though; he had some trouble controlling his claws XD

The longest one to live was Tamtam. We had him under our care for 8 years. We took him from a relative in Kota Tinggi when we visited this one granny's house. He was missing after we got back from Bali in July 2007. My parents suspect he died after a snake bit him. He once got bitten by a snake. His right cheek was swollen and one day, it burst out blood. We weren't at home that day. When we got back, we saw blood all the way from the living room to upstairs. He was sitting painfully by the stairs. A couple of weeks after Tamtam went missing, I went to UiTM to further my studies. There was this one guy in my class, they called him Tamtam. At first, I was felt awkward to call him by that name cos that name is our family's favourite for cats haha!

When the felines were going to have their litter of kittens, I would stay and watch them, support them while they were trying with all of their might to deliver the kitties. Like you're watching a miracle. I don't dare to watch a baby being born, so I guess watching the kitties can compensate that XD

I still remember the dead cats. There are times they came up in my dreams. There was another Shady; he died cos of failure to control his bladder and infection last April. I can still remember that day, that was when my friends were busy with their final year project. A day before he died, he didn't make any noise like he used to. He used to scream from his cage, begging to be let out from it. But we couldn't; he couldn't control his bladder and he would piss every step he took around the house. So we locked him up. My mom was torn; she couldn't decide what to do with Shady. She wanted to send him to the vet to put him to sleep. I told her to not do it cos to me, I have no right to take his life. It's like killing somebody, but you're hiring a bounty hunter to kill the target. She didn't send him away but she was still in doubt whether it was the right thing to do or not cos every second he lived, he suffered in the cage with pain of the disease and agony of being locked up.

He no longer let us hear his voice and he didn't eat; he was such a pitiful sight. A few minutes before he died, I watched him and talked to him so that he would eat. But he turned his head away from me, as if he was angry with me of not getting him out of the cage. That was the last time I saw him alive. My dad came to look at him a few minutes later, and his head was dunked in his bowl. My dad called my mom, and they watched him. But they didn't see any movement; his head was still in the bowl. My dad held Shady in his hand, he was still warm. My mom had already cried at that time, asking my dad whether Shady was dead or not. I wrapped him in a piece of fabric and put him in a box. When he was still alive, he would let off a foul smell coming from his behind. As I was wrapping him, he didn't smell bad anymore. I cried while wrapping the body. Then, my brother dug a hole and put the little body in the ground.

When Shady was little, about two weeks old, we took him to the vet. The doctor asked us to come again in a few weeks if the medication didn't have any effects on him. A few weeks later, I took him to the vet after class with my brother. The doctor said Shady couldn't be cured cos he was born with the disease. A day after Shady died, I still cried over it. I wondered whether I made the right decision; to stop or let my mom from sending him to the vet. Well, at least he didn't have to suffer anymore.

P/P/S: ehem mesti ade bagi present kan? taknak gitau ape present dari die ke? :p

a plan

Well, it's just a plan. Not necessarily will be carried out though XD

I've planned to do a lot of things after the Infosys training ends. Just to kill the time while I'm unemployed heheh

1. Learn how to cook

I can't cook even to save my life. I keep forgetting what to put inside and how much to put urgh my parents kept bugging me about how I suck at cooking haha! *it's not like I'm gonna get married soon la aiyoo~* But I'm better at baking though. You just have to follow the recipe and measure the ingredients precisely XD

2. Make some chocolates

A few weeks ago, Hemie asked me to find her a recipe on how to make chocolates cos she wanted to make chocolates made with love for her boyfriend hahahah! I thought, hey why don't I give it a try? A nice homemade chocolate just for me :p

3. Cupcakes

I've seen a lot of cute cupcakes on the net. Like always, I'm tempted to try to make some haha! I like what they always put on top of the cupcakes, cute patterns and all. Usually, what I imagined will not turn out to be the end product haha!

4. Cut my hair

It's been a year since I've had my hair cut. Before submitting my final year project, I told myself that I would cut my hair if I managed to pass the subject. I did it! So, need to visit the hair dresser. Oh, for the Muslim girls out there, X-Cut in Tesco Shah Alam is the perfect place to get your hair cut. They provide a special area for girls who wear tudung to cut their hair.

5. Brush up some skills

I need to brush up on my programming, cos I only know the basics of most languages I've learnt. Before I apply to any jobs, I want to prepare myself so that I'm not gonna be clueless especially after diving straight in the IT field without the basics after matriculation.

Think I should keep the list short so that I can manage to accomplish them all :D

another day with the girls

Like I've mentioned in the previous post, I decided to join the girls yesterday. Around 9.30 am, started my engine and took off from home. The girls were cycling when I arrived there. Surprisingly, I managed to get there without a help from a map. Prolly cos I've been there before. But that's a different story. Anyway, the place is quite nice. The girls even suggested me to get married there XD simply cos there was like a wedding going on. I didn't get to see the rest of the place though; well the main objective is to meet the girls anyway, so all is good :D

We sat by the road to take a break; not far from us, there was a perfect spot for a picnic. It was like Dataran Shah Alam but the difference is there is a lake by the area. So it's a lil bit breezy there compared to the one in Shah Alam. Then, they came up with the idea to go for a picnic next time. *bile pulak next time ni? XD*

We didn't take much piccies though; prolly too busy enjoying the morning breeze haha!

We had our lunch at Alamanda. I was shocked when there were a lot of vacant parking lots at 1130 am. Usually, it's freaking hard to find one around that time, at other places I mean. We grabbed our lunch, then we made a move to some place god-knows-where-Hemie-took-us-to. Cos Aini and I haven't been singing our hearts out for quite sometime, so we headed to the karaoke box heheh on the way there, the girls searched for a shawl for me. Since I suck at matching colours and everything when it comes to fashion, so they did the picking for me haha! So now, I have prepared myself for this Friday although I'm yet to take my test; it's on this Tuesday urgh I need to study tonight then :p

Then, around 3.30 pm, I bade them farewell. As we waved at each other, I said 'See you girls in 5 months' time'. God, 5 months!?! Quite a long time, I must say. Then, they said, don't worry. Prolly we're gonna see each other sooner than that. I hope so :D

But on my way back, for the second time, I was lost. But luckily, I was lost in the same place when I went there for the first time *although I wasn't the one who was driving at that time haha!*. I kept driving until I reached the familiar roads heading to my former internship office. I wasted half an hour trying to get there duhhh wonder how to reach the shortest way to the PLUS highway from there anyway. Well, that sums up my Sunday. How about yours? :D

Jalan-jalan

Thursday last week, after huffing and puffing from morning till evening in class *as if i ran the whole day XD*, I fetched my siblings cos my sis had to go to the KL Motorshow since she had to capture some piccies for her assignment. At first, when my sis asked me to take her there, I thought my dad would deffo say no. But surprisingly, he told me to take her there. In fact, take all my siblings as a practice for the future. *sigh* I'm not gonna get married in the near future, dad. I think you know why XD Anyway, after class, fetched those kids and took a train there.

Well, since I was exhausted that time, I didn't take many pics there. So this was my best shot for the day XD

About 930pm, my sis was done taking photos. But the train was 30++ mins late! I was prolly too tired that I took no notice the train we were on was heading to Seremban. haha! When we reached KL Sentral, I waited for the announcement from the train driver (?). But the driver only announced the destination but didn't mention anything about where the train was heading to. When we reached Midvalley, I told the kids to get off from that train cos we were in the wrong train. Oh my, I'm the only one who always gone to KL by train. And yet, I still boarded the wrong train as if it was my first time XD

We waited at KL Sentral for the right train. On the way back, I didn't get a seat so I stood beside my lil bro's seat. He was sleeping already. I held his head so that he didn't move much. On my left, there was a foreigner and his friend/wife/sister was sitting two seats away from me. There was a man who was sitting next to her. I noticed the foreigner dude kept leaving his seat and stood beside his company. Then, a lady got off from the train and the foreign lady changed her seat. Suddenly, the foreigner dude was staring hard at the man who sitting next to his companion earlier. Then, the man asked the dude what was his problem. The dude asked back what did the man do. Then, the dude swung his backpack in front of the man's face. The man was holding back his anger; it was visible on his face. As the dude turned away, he mumbled that he only stared at the lady, nothing serious about it in Nogori dialect.

My heart was pounding fast; I screamed inside of me 'oi ade budak kecik la kat sini, takyah la nak gado kot'. Ah, a few stations left. After we were heading out toward the Putra station, my lil bro said that he was hungry. So, I made a stop to buy some food. It was 10 to midnight. Oh dear, 5 more mins to reach home. Then, my phone rang. My bro answered it for me; I already knew who was on the phone. My dad asked my bro how far KL from home, 3 hours!?! I feel offended by that statement, as if I was the one who wanted to go there. *not in the ranting mood right now*

2 days later, one of my best friends asked me to catch a movie with her. Good thing with her is that everytime she wants to ask me out, she will ask my dad first the day before herself haha! So that day, we watched Narnia cos I already bought the tix a day before. Luckily we bought it early, when we got there, it was already sold out! Pheww~

Now, I've been fickle as to whether to join another group of besties this Sunday or not. At first, the thought of another war of words with my dad stopped me from going. But today, a guy who already has a girlfriend asked me out. I was furious about it, but I didn't scream at him though. I thought I rather go and join the girls this Sunday then going with you haha! Suddenly, I felt like going to see them. The chance to meet them doesn't come by much after we've finished our studies.

I wanted to put more pics but all of a sudden, I can't seem to upload anything duhhh I guess that's it for now. Toodles~

Terrified

You set it again, my heart's in motion
Every word feels like a shooting star
I'm at the edge of my emotions
Watching the shadows
Burning in the dark
And I'm in love and I'm terrified
for the first time and the last time
In my only life

Terrified by Katherine McPhee ft Zachary Levi

I personally prefer the version with Zachary Levi, I think his voice is quite nice (prolly biased cos he plays Chuck gahahaha!) Plus, I think the song's kinda nice too. Really soothing to the ears ehe I feel like I'm feeling every word of the lyrics hahah!

Anyway, sorry for the lack of quality posts ahaha! It's just that I don't really have the time right now to put up a nice post. So, enjoy the err, song (if you want to :p)

25 things I hate about you?

Saw this while I was reading Put's blog. Some time ago, I've been trying to do this but I always forgot about it. But now that I've remembered it, let's get the-25-things-you-hardly-know-about-me thingy movin'!

1. I don't talk much but I like chatting online. Prolly cos chatting online gives me time to think of what to say. Which brings us to....

2. I feel nervous everytime anybody calls out for me. Dunno why, prolly that's why I don't talk much. haha!

3. I actually eat non-stop whenever I feel happy. When I'm unhappy, what's the point of indulging myself over delicious cuisines, yeah?

4. I'm very observant. I tend to over-analyze what everybody else does *not being nosy, ok!*, and whenever I have the chance to bug someone about it, then I would ask about it. Mostly, my observations have been accurate, well, almost :p

5. I used to be someone who keeps everything inside. But when I turned 21, my life also turned 180 degrees. There are times people would see my gloomy face but most of the time, happy face is all you can see :p But I don't scream at people when I'm upset, except my youngest bro >:)

6. I haven't scored a goal since February 2009 :p oh dear, almost 2 years already! Dang it!

7. I'm very emotional so much so that I drown myself in errr 'meleleh' songs! haha!

8. So far, I've said to have resemblance to 3 people; my mom, my grandma and my aunt.

9. A while back, a close friend of mine told me that I look like Paris Hilton. Bloooooody hell. My dad also told me I look a lil bit like Cheryl Samad. urgh I don't like her cos she looks like someone I really hate. Eh, wait a minute.....

10. I'm a sucker at watching lovey-dovey movies. A Walk to Remember, High School Musical 1-3, Juno and too many to be mentioned :p

11. I can withstand low temperatures but not high temperatures.

12. I talk in my sleep.

13. I think too much, till the thoughts of it came up inside my dreams at night.

14. I tend to be cold cos I don't like to let my feelings show. It's as if I've shown to the world my weak point. Hell no!

15. My mom still chooses my clothes. I just wear them haha!

16. I hate it when I've already said that I'm ok but people keep asking me whether I'm fine or not and then, patting my shoulder. Even when I'm fine at that time, I may break down and cry haha!

17. My mom told me when I was a baby, I was the easiest one to be taken care of. I didn't cry much, behaved myself to cut the long story short :p

18. I enjoy baking but I suck at cooking. pfftt~

19. I like numbers so much so that if Maths is a man, I'd prolly married to Maths :p

20. One of my besties said I'm very faithful to one. Yes, once I set my eyes on someone, I don't see any other guys and plus, I don't enjoy having spare parts :p

21. I enjoy making people happy, even if I have to do the silliest things to make them happy. Cos they made me happy :)

22. I've never been out of the area I'm currently live in. There was once, when my dad was still studying in the US. Other than that, never!

23. I'm easily pleased. You can say anything *as long as you're not lying* or do anything *even if it's a stupid thing to do*, it's the effort that counts :D

24. I have poor visibility at night. I don't prefer to drive at night and to to top it off, in the rain at night. Ah, that's just perfect!

25. All I can see now is that either I'll be a programmer or a Maths teacher. Duhhh

That's it then. 25 of them. Don't feel like tagging anyone. Till then, toodles~

A good day?

My eyes are glued.
My lips are chapped.
My legs are prickling.
And plus I'm stinky today.

How can I date someone with a face like that?
I know yoú're gonna dump me again,
And I am gonna cry.

Cause you want a perfect girl,
And I'm not what you expect.
You want a perfect girl,
And I look shitty today.

Maybe I should put some makeup,
And find some crazy outfits.
But I am very tired today
And I don't care if I'm not pretty

Shitty Day by Soko

Exactly how I feel everytime I've gone out with my friends. Always there would be something wrong with me. Anyway, that's not the point. I've just discovered some new songs, thanks to Hemie. I think Soko's kinda cool although I'm not amused by some of the lyrics of her songs but her cheerful and freestyling voice negate the lack of amusement. Still, a number of them are quite enjoyable. For me at least, haha!

Improve English

English is still a language that some people have actually learned at school but just can't quite get the hang of it. Cos like learning BM, we have to read more, talk more and write more. But cos of BM is the language for the natives, so it doesn't matter as long as people can understand what you're saying.

On the other hand, people always say 'Talk in English even if the grammar is all over the place'. Now, that's the spirit but this will never improve your language skill. People often say this to be more confident even if they are not fluent in the language. However, people always say that when asked how to improve their English. Meh. Yes, it's alright if you've made some mistakes but you need to learn from them to improve, no? If you don't know what's wrong with your English, then how are you gonna improve it? Duhhh

I'm not ashamed to admit, whenever I feel like typing something in English but I'm not sure whether it's grammatically correct or not, I will check it using Word grammar check or even Google it. Watch a movie without a subtitle can also improve your English, in a way.

There's this one friend of mine. Long ago, her English was average. Realizing she needed to improve, she often asked me to check her grammar and vocabulary. After a while, I noticed she had improved her grammar but still struggled a lil bit with her vocab, but hey, there was still an improvement there. Quite impressive, I should say. Ever since then, I have always admired her eagerness (if only I'm like that)

I'm lucky to have parents who are fluent in English. They encouraged me to speak in English when it's possible, bought me storybooks, searched for good movies to watch, corrected my grammar and many more. Still, I didn't rest on my laurels. I searched on the net if I have doubts in my grammar. Even this post, I will read it two or three times so that I can detect any vocabulary or grammar mistake.

This post is not actually to brag my English cos hey, I'm still learning too you know. I get a little annoyed when I came across some people who know they're not good with the language but refuse to improve it. I mean, you read and listen to English everyday, how can you not improve it, even a slightest bit? Says a lot about their attitude really. Heh

First?

Not the first post actually, cos I have another blog but the blog's quite boring. Can't fiddle with it much, so I created a new one :D

Anyway, the older posts are here, well if you're interested.

Ah, the first post is always the boring one of all posts in a blog, I think.

Better stop here cos the intro should be short and simple, yeah? Toodles~
