September 23 A niche untouched/What a Bummer/What is wrong in the first place?It's been some time since I read magazines. I have grown out of CLEO. I'm definitely too old for Remaja although it still makes me laugh (at it, not WITH it). Nona, Wanita and Jelita is too mak datin for me (and doesn't really feature muslimah fashion). So that leaves me with Dara.com and Nur. Nur is a magazine for career muslimahs, which will be me... but since it always features articles about how to raise a family and how to... errr... please your husband, I grabbed Dara.com while sighing to my mom that I should have outgrown this magazine. "Takpelah, anak dara lagi," my mom said. Ya, remind me again of how my ex-schoolmates are now showing off their hubbies and babies on Friendster while a 25-year-old hairstylist kept referring to me as "Yang" because she thought I'm still "budak-budak lagi." Ya I did rebonding ... again... and forgot how painful it was the first time so I had to grit my teeth while three women ironed my hair at the same time... again. Next time remind me to have two paracetamols before going for another treatment.
I'm disappointed with what the masses selected for One in a Million. I shouldn't say too much because I didn't watch it anyway; I went out to MidValley to watch Miami Vice instead (which caused motion-sickness for me due to the wobbly camera effect... and the fact that Colin Farrell looks too 'selebet' for my taste does not help either). I prefer Faizal... but with a contest that relies solely on SMS, what can you expect?
I don't exactly get what the Malaysian papers have been saying about doctors who don't want to further their studies.
Hanya dua orang doktor setahun dihantar berkursus? Pergi mana? Overseas? Don't you count those doing Masters in Malaysia as well?
September 18 RamblingsI just read a blog of someone who has started his/her studies in Belfast, and suddenly my eyes are watering. I miss having a second home. I don't regret my decision coming home. I just wish my stay in Belfast had been more colourful. It is so easy to regret something that has not been done. And it gets easier to smile at mistakes that one has made; time erases the humiliation. I wish I registered for the Advanced Mandarin Class; I wish I had stayed in Taekwando although someone kicked me in the rear during sparring and caused shooting pain in my backside everytime I 'rukuk' during prayers for a week. I want a bit of rock, a bit of rhythm, a bit of soul and a bit of funk. Instead most of the time I get monotone, and the fault falls onto me. Isn't that silly, boys and girls? Like I tell my little sisters, Do what I tell you to do, but don't do what I do. Get it? September 17 The grass is always greener at the other side.You seem to find the dark when everything is bright
you look for all thats wrong instead of all thats right does it feel good to you to rain on my parade you never say a word unless its to complain its driving me insane if i were you holding the world right in my hands the first thing i'd do is thank the stars for all that i have if i were you look what surrounds you now more than you ever dreamed have you forgotten just how hard it used to be so whats it going to take for you to realize it all could go away in one blink of an eye it happens all the time if i were you holding the world right in my hands the first thing i'd do is thank the stars above tell the world i love that i do if i were you so whats it going to take for you to realize it all could go away in one blink of an eye it happens all the time if i were you holding the world right in my hands the first thing i'd do is thank the stars above for the world i love take a breath and enjoy the view live the life that i've wanted to if i were you (If I Were You - Incubus) September 14 Dammit.I was already miserable for a few days and thought to myself, "How can this be any worse?"
And as Murphy's Law dictates, it did. I got a reminder letter from my sponsor to heave my ass to SPA as soon as possible. My Banting friends will kindly recall my golekan maut? I will, I will go, in 2 weeks time... boleh?
By the way, little brats I have for sisters clapped with glee when they were told I will be working soon. And I am reminded by Syed who exclaimed his surprise when I told him two weeks ago I will (try to) start work after Raya. Despite thinking his predictions about how I will start my career are bordering on evil, I'm afraid one part has come true. September 13 A night outIf you are a tudung-clad young single woman who don't mind paying RM4 for a drink you can get for RM2.50 at a mamak, then go to Hartamas. You will definitely get the attention of the Malay males down there. I can't figure out why. I mean, there are girls down there who dress to the nines... with beautiful hair and short skirts. Probably the fact that my friend and I are the only tudung-clad girls there explains it all. Suddenly my mind races back to the time when my ex took me to his college. His collegemates stared, like, really. Then my ex whispered to me not to take it seriously, because the college doesn't have too many Malays, let alone a tudung-clad Malay.
And you think these things happen only overseas eh?
It drives me bonkers when someone has not replied my SMSes. Please reply if this applies to you.
September 12 Don't forget to enjoy the rideOne friend asked me why I haven't updated this blog as often as I did before. I told her I don't really have any stories to tell, which is true.
Another thing was that one aspect of my life has been like a rollercoaster. One day I would be so deliriously happy I would smile to myself the whole day. One day I would be so pissed. So that's why, even if I have updates in my head, I don't feel like it. Does that happen to you, if you are already in a relationship? I don't mean to imply that I am in a relationship, because I am not. But I did realize one thing recently. My previous serious relationship (some may call it puppy love due to the age factor but considering that I am still single 6 years later, I don't think so) was like driving on a PLUS highway. Calm. No surprises. The highlights may be singing along to a favourite song on the radio, or finding an R&R on the side of the road. Whilst now, I am already in a rollercoaster screaming my lungs out and wonder if I perhaps come out of the ride shaking at the knees but already lining up for another ride. Perhaps I shouldn't think too much. Driving on a PLUS highway, as calm as it seems, didn't end up too well anyway. September 06 Pencurian questionnaire1.

September 03 Ramblings of a sleepy womanI just watched Konsert Jom Heboh on TV3 and I am so excited on watching OAG. Rocking while pakai baju melayu... Slumber merdeka y'all!
I don't really think people read this blog anyway nowadays, so I don't think I should bother explaining why I haven't updated. As my youngest sister asked me, "Kenapa kamu ni asyik tidur je, atas sofa pun tidur, dalam bilik pun tidur, kalau tengok kakak mesti tengah tidur." So, now you know what took up my time these days. And in case you are wondering, I haven't weighed myself this week out of pure fear haha. Hey, you have no business wondering about my weight anyway.
Aside from having the news of a pop princess's overrated marriage to a businessman 20 years her senior shoved down my throat, I don't think I have much to complain. In fact, it's a bit scary that when I come home, 'the real world' welcomes me with open arms. Watching my friends have excellent jobs, have their own mode of transportation and honing the skills of being a KL driver (not that I'm saying it's good...). Knowing that being 25 is not really that young -- having mat saleh patients commenting that you look less than 20 (compared to 20-year-old mat salehs) is elusive. And knowing that a couple of friends already had their quarter-life crisis over and done with.. it really makes me think, you know? I had a bit of thought retrospectively... (see, I actually did something other than sleeping). And I know I have been too cautious and too safe for the past few years of my life. So, now, what I want to be is to take more chances, do more crazy things. And return to one part of my life (which is the most hilarious and adventurous for the time being), when friends describe me as "kalau lurus tu lurus sangat, tapi kalau ada bengkok tu bengkok betul lah!" But hey, why look back to the past, it's better to look forward to the future kan? And anyway, to be fair to myself, sometimes I amuse myself by looking at my two passports which pictures were taken at 19 and 25 respectively... and think to myself why I look younger at 25. Dah pandai melawa kot... :P if you consider that melawa. I'm the most comot, unkempt and fashionably inept compared to my vogue cousins and... uhmm... my sisters.
If you excuse me, I will now return to my bedroom and continue my sleep which was interrupted by a trip to the supermarket with my parents and dinner. Aaaaaahhhh....
