Hakuna Matata

I'm FREE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! xD

For now. :P

Well, not that free. I just realized just now, during lunch, that I'm gonna have my semester break. But Julia isn't. Meaning I'll be home to help her do homework. Oh, horror. D:

In fact, I just helped her finish today's homework. It was...the usual drama.

Anywhos, today was my Proficiency English paper, which was fine, as I always say for almost all things. I finished an hour earlier and immediately left the hall. I couldn't stand the cold. It was FREEZING.

me: Shit, the cold. Fuck, the cold. Shit, the fuck, the cold. Shit, the fucking cold. Fuck the shitty cold, etc...

And y'all know how I lack any natural insulation. Seriously, I should get some of that.

Unfortunately, I seem to like eating even less nowadays. I get full much faster. Well, not full exactly, I just seem to reach my eating limit quicker these days. I have no clue why. Yesterday I was eating that chicken chop thing at KFC (which is nothing more than the normal fried chicken, with mash potato gravy) and couldn't finish it. Usually I can finish the whole snack plate (minus the coleslaw), but now I had to half force myself to finish the fries and bun. And yet I hardly have trouble finishing my drink.

After, even thinking about a plate of KFC made me feel sick, but thinking about giraffes eating bloody carcasses* made me feel considerably less sick.

There is something wrong with that, I should think.

I read The Chronicles of Narnia until the 3rd last book, which is The Dawn Treader, and stopped because I just couldn't resist the tempting, non-existent call of Un Lun Dun. Hahah. And I gotta say, I LOVE THE BOOK. It is so so so so awesome and UNIQUE.

*Btw, in Un Lun Dun, giraffes are scary, blood-thirsty carnivores. Yay. :D

I bought books just now. One's called The Stolen Child by Keith Donohue, and the other is a children's book which I couldn't resist because it has pretty water colour illustrations. :P They cost RM12 and RM3 respectfully.

And now, I only have 1 buck in my wallet, not including the odd sen or two. *sigh* I hate being broke.

I like to draw. :'>





YAY BOYS!!! The one with the tie is Guy-Fee, named Edrick (she picked the name) Fawkes (I picked the surname). The messy-haired one is Guy-Huda, named Mizushima (I picked the surname) Hikari (her nickname). And the one that doesn't look like a guy is Guy-Me (D:), named Lii (derived from Liina, my nickname) Ambrose (cause...it starts with 'a').

Oooh, photoshop~! :D

Huda likes green, so green he is. Btw, Mizushima Hikari (I like saying his name) is pretty much gay. Or at least bi. Go figure. BUT HE AIN'T A WUSS. God, no.

Yay, he's pink. :3 Mr Fawkes is a prefect, an athlete, and a heart-throb. *laughs*

...I didn't play around with Guy-Me because...I'm not as fun. To play with. *giggles*

I LOVE DRAWING!!! >xD

It means No Worries.

Always Be My Baby

Sorry for stealing your blog entry title, Lisa.

I have officially moved out of the Unisel hostel. Oh, joy. :D Still have exams this morning and Monday though. And after that, freedom~

I got to go for Hari K yesterday. *throws confetti* Getting permission was easier than I thought. Didn't even really have to ask.

Me: Ma, This Saturday Sri Aman is having their Hari Keusahawanan.

Ma: You want to go lah.

Haha. :D Just like when I wanted to go for Lee Hom's concert. Mama surprises me sometimes. In a good way. :)

I suppose it was...okay. But meeting friends again was FANTASTIC. Gosh. I missed Huda so much. Yeah, you heard me, Munch. I misses youh! D:

I thought I had a lot to say, but now I don't know what to write. The day was filled with food, drinks, friends, talk about college/uni/form 6/A-levels/etc, heat, sweat, coupons, teachers, walking around...

Before walking around, Fee and I visited the staffroom, and we had a short long talk with Pn Ilani. :)

Fee: 'Cher, you remember my name, right?

Pn I: Yes, Fiona.

me: 'Cher, me?

Pn I: Um... *after a few seconds* Is it...Arina...?

me: Yay!

Pn I: Arinawati, right?

me: No, just Arina.

*laughs ass off* Oh, gosh.

Also met Pn Niche, Pn Loo, Pn Norlaila (she was carrying a rubbish bag, and when she saw me, she told me to "Nah, ambik ni!"), Cik Thana...

I had fun hugging the twins. Haha. (When was the last time I saw them...?) And introducing them to Nana and Lis.

Me: These are my cousins! *turns to Lis and Na* These are the twins! *beams*

It never occurred to me then to tell them their names. :P Yay, Lisa and Nana came too. :D But for a really short time, cuz Nana and Dan had to leave to get ready to watch Beauty & The Beast (the musical?), and Lis was with Nana. We did get to take a DALE picture though. :)

I also met Acap with Husaini and Anji, Cams, Kak Tin and Mandey. Mandey headbutted me. :O

Me: *reads Boh'stee* The world is pretty amazing... Yeah, cuz of me.

Ku: You should say us. *gestures to me, her, Boh and Fee*



How did people learn to be so perasan?

There was a flying fox! The first in Sri Aman, as the announcer kept...announcing. I didn't go though. Dan and Fairy kept saying I had to.

Around...I don't remember what time. Sometime after 1, I followed Fee and family (minus her dad) to BB, who (who?) was having their Hari K too. Fee and I went into the Rumah Hantu! :D



Fee: *scared* I want Kok Tong!

me: Fee, don't be silly.

*scary noises*

me: I want Kok Tong too!!!



Kok Tong (Sotong) is Fee's bro, btw. :P

It wasn't scary. xD But Fee and I decided to scream once, at the end, before going out. Although Fee was going "I dowan, I dowan" when we entered. As usual.

Jia Yiing: What happened? Was it scary?

me: No, it wasn't scary. Your sister was scared though. She was hugging me.



Jia Yiing is Fee's 8-year-old sis who is adorable and talks a whole lot. Like Fee lah.



We met Lene there! She's doing Form 6 there, and is still a DBSK fan. :) Before that, we bumped into Farah and Wan. Farah wanted to meet someone she knew, and Wan followed along. We teman-ed her while Farah ditched her for a while. :) We saw Lene when we were supposed to walk Farah and Wan to the gates...and totally forgot about them. Ooops, sorry guys. :P

After that the Ngs (minus the head Ng) sent me back to Sri Aman. It was funny listening to them talk in the car.

KT: *about their dad* He's a pig.
JY: Pigs are my favourite animals!
CY: *looks at me* He was born in the year of the pig.
me: Boar.
CY: Pig. Boar?
me: Boar.
CY: Isn't it the same thing?
me: Boar.
CY: I thought the Chinese new best (about these things).

Well, the year of the Pig and the year of the Boar are the same, but a pig is not a boar, Fee. (Btw, CY = Chui Yiing = Fee)

Mama and Abah came to pick me up not long after I arrived. Then back home...

I don't know which was more tiring. This Saturday, or last. At least in OU, it was cool. So I guess Hari K was more tiring.

I told myself I'd take pictures to post here, but... I never did do it. :P

But here are some (blurry) pics Fee took with my camera. :)

Why is Yasmin looking at us like that? :P

These were taken at BB:

My bunny and my Patrick. :D

When we were walking around in SA, I gave Huda some coupons and told her to go win me something. I didn't think she'd actually do exactly that. xD So she won me the bunny. Issocute!!! D:

Mama: It looks...stupid.

So it does, but who cares. xD

As for the Patrick, I wanted to finish all my coupons before going to BB, so I bought 5 of em. One for me, one for Jules, one for Jia Yiing, one for Fee and one for Sotong. :D

KT: *control macho* Thanks.

CY: Trust me, he'll be very happy later.

I trust you, Fee. xD

So that was my Saturday. I enjoyed myself tremendously, and already miss everyone again. D:

Aite, time to leave for uni. Agama paper today. WISH ME LUCK!!!

For A Pessimist I'm Pretty Optimistic

I just finished supervising Julia through the grueling process called HOMEWORK. Helping her do her homework is far worse than doing my own homework. Because with hers, I have to deal with her frustration as well as mine. It is a form of Hell, I tell you.

But, I was going through some old quotes and dialogues that I'd written down (as usual), and this one sent me into a fit of uncontrollable laughter:

me: Where's Sri Sedaya?
Lisa: Somewhere near Sunway Period. Eh!! I mean Pyramid!!!

*is sent into a fit of uncontrollable laughter*

There are lots more where that came from. It's great fun reading them. :)

I wanna go for Hari K!!!

Streetcorner Symphony

I received one of the happiest pieces of news ever yesterday. Huda called sometime in the afternooon/evening and told me that she'll be studying in Unisel. And she's NOT going to Rompin!!! I was practically jumping around for joy when I heard this. :)

Kid, I love you.

PHOTOS! Cuz I felt like it.

Purikura-ing on March 1st- our belated V-day "date". xD

Don't you feel that sunshine?

Telling you to hold tight

Things will be alright.

Little Wonders

I had a blast with Fee yesterday, which goes without saying, really.

She arrived here around 11 (though she said she'd come around 10...she said it was her mom's fault, not hers) and we left around 11.30. When I saw her, I was quite shocked to see that she had coloured her hair. AND SHE DIDN'T TELL ME!!! I find this appalling. I mean, HOW COULD SHE NOT TELL ME?! HOW COULD YOU, FEE?! I sakit hati. *clutches heart*

But anyway, she looks totally hot like a volcano on a hot summer day (but hotter) with her now reddish-brown hair, and I forgive her (THIS time) for not telling me because she gave me this:

Which is what she got for me from China. Yeah, I'm aware it's something that can be gotten in Malaysia, just as easily. But who cares about trivial matters such as that when your friend gets you something from...anywhere. You can't help but love it. :)

First thing we did once we got to OU was buy the movie tickets. We only decided what to watch when we were standing in front of the counter and the guy was asking us what movie. She made me decide, when I'd told her she was to decide, since I got all the timings and all. So I picked The Happening. When we were paying and the guy was clicking the button that says "adult"...

Fee: I want a child ticket! I'm a kid!

me : *laughs* Two adults, please.

guy: *looks at me* She doesn't look like an adult.

me : *laughs* I'm older than her.

guy: *raises eyebrows*

Hahaha. Should I be insulted that I look like a kid, or flattered that I look younger than my actual age? I choose indifference.

Fee was offended. *rolls eyes* It's you height, Fee.

We had around an hour or less until the movie started at 1.25pm so we went to MPH to kill time. We bumped into Amy (Azizi) there! She's in UM. :)

After getting tempted by a dozen or so books on my part, we went off to walk around aimlessly. While we were drooling over donuts at Big Apple (no, of course not literally) we bumped into 3 ex-5SB-ians: Julia, Syahirah and...I'm really sorry but I don't remember the other girl's name. :( They were going to watch Kung Fu Panda.

We didn't buy any donuts because by that time we had to go back to the cinema and get our popcorn.

Overall, I enjoyed the movie well enough. It was not as good as The Sixth Sense, of course, but still better than I dared hope. :) Well, it was enough to make us cower in our chairs and squeeze each other's hands. xD There were several slightly gory parts (although nothing compared to Pan's Labyrinth and that scene in The Orphanage) that spurred different reactions from me and Fee:

Fee: Aw, crap.

me: Awesome.

Heheh. After the movie, we walked around a bit until we got hungry again, and then we had lunch at A&W. It was around 4pm.

...Damn, we were FULL. We could hardly finish our rootbeers (dahlah Fee ordered a large one) and waffle. It was not a nice kind of kenyang-ness.

me: I'll never look at A&W the same way again.

Fee: Yeah, me too.

We agreed that we'd be going on an A&W strike for a while.

me: Well, at least we aren't saying "I'm so hungry" anymore.

Fee: ....I'd rather be hungry.

me: Yeah, me too.

After lunch came a whole LOT of pointless walking around. We stepped into more or less every shop that caught our interest or was on sale, which was...quite a few. Some shops we visited more than once. We saw a white dress in Forever 21 that Fee liked and I urged her to try it on. And I was this close, too!!! But. She. Just. Wouldn't! *frustration* I'm telling you, she would have killed that dress. WHY WON'T YOU JUST DO WHAT I SAY, FEE?!! *grumbles*

I think we walked through the whole mall at least twice. As a result, Fee bought a pencil case from S&J and I bought a book from MPH. It's called Un Lun Dun by China Mieville, and I can't wait to read it. x3

By seven, we were exhausted, so we sat down on a bench outside to rest. We camwhored a bit, because we hadn't done any of that yet, and we didn't take purikura photos. I was almost too tired to smile, or even talk, by then, but I guess with Fee it can't be helped.

Abah picked us up at 7.30 sharp. Back home, Fee borrowed three of my books: The Kite Runner (yay!), Stardust and Hide & Seek. Have fun reading them, Fee!

...Then her parents picked her up. I missed her the moment she stepped out the gate. :( I...I wish I could see her, and Huda, and everyone, every week again!

But what's the use of wishing? I am happy where I am.

I watched the ending of Meet The Robinsons, and was surprised how much it moved me. I love the song Little Wonders. :)

Bah. More days like yesterday, Fee!!! Although maybe a little less tiring. :P

I hope I'll be allowed to go for Hari K next Saturday. I have an exam paper the next day. D:

STUDY TIME!!!

And I don't mind if it's me you need to turn to,

We'll get by.

It's the heart that really matters in the end.

Beautiful Life

So, Fee wanted an update.

Speaking of Fee, we are going out on a not-date tomorrow! We are gonna be watching Kung Fu Panda or Prom Night or The Happening, and we are gonna take purikura (sticker photos that is), and eat popcorn, and WAFFLES, and we are gonna do a lot of walking around pointlessly while talking about pointless stuff, and we are gonna window-shop, and look for t-shirts with the F word on it (FCUK lah), and we are going to be dorky and very very loser-ey, and we are gonna have so much fun!!!

I miss her too much.

Goodnight!

Always be happy together,

Sarang hae Hi Ya Ya Ya

You Don't Know What They Do To Guys Like Us In Prison

I'm so bored.

Whatever They Say

On Wednesday evening, Mama and Abah picked me up from uni and we (Amir and Julia included) stayed the night at Holiday Inn Glenmarie in KL. We booked two rooms for one night, just for fun, since both Dan and Nana and families went for holidays.

After resting for a bit, watching TV and enjoying our beds, Abah, Jules and I went for a short swim. We were at the pool for about half an hour only, since there wasn't much to do. There weren't many people either. Kind of boring.

After dinner, I was sent back to uni for a while to attend a resident meeting, after which I was picked up again to spend the night at the hotel, which was really nice (air-cond) but I had to wake up early the next morning to have breakfast and get back to uni in time for my 8.30 class.

Abah teman-ed me to have breaky. I love breakfast buffets at hotels. The good ones at least. And the Glenmarie breakfast buffet is good. : ) I didn't eat that much but, boy, was I FULL. Abah and I smuggled out some yogurt, muffins, pastries and a bottle of orange juice. : D

I wasn't happy to be back in uni after spending the night in a hotel room. And I wasn't at all satisfied with having to wake up early. Plus, Dan and family left for PD that day, bringing Amir with them. But I was not to be unhappy for long.

That afternoon, when I was lazing about in my dorm after class (I was too lazy to have lunch that day) Mama called and said they'd checked into another hotel.

This time it was One World. : D

And One World is pretty darn cool! It's so high-class, haha. So Ma and Abah picked me up yet again (my roomies were envious, I believe) to spend the night in a five-star hotel.

We swam for a bit there too, but it was cooooold. It had just rained, after all. After that, we went to OU for dinner. While waiting for the food to arrive, I wandered around, as usual. I was in Popular, looking at notebooks, when I overheard someone saying "Mian he" which is "sorry" in Korean, and I immediately looked around for the speaker. It was a little girl, talking in rapid Korean to her little brother. It's not every day I come across Koreans in OU, and being a DBSK fan who adores Koreans, I was pretty gleeful. Unfortunately, the pair of siblings did NOT have a big brother. *sigh*

We watched a movie in our hotel room that night. There were several movies to choose from, costing RM28 each. There's still the usual HBO and Vision Four though. We chose The Heartbreak Kid. NOT a movie to be watched with parents. Or young kids. It was uncensored, and there were *ehem* parts. Seriously. Some of it was funny, mostly thanks to Ben Stiller, but I would have been happier if we had not chosen that movie. I kept thinking "I knew we should've watched Stardust."

The next day, Ma and Abah went for the buffet breakfast while Julia and I slept in. They got us McD for breaky. Then the three of them went down for a swim while I went to OU to do more wandering around. I ended up buying several things, one of which is DBSK's first ever album. Now I have all of their albums! Not including their singles and live albums. One day, I'll get those too. One day.

I was sent back to uni again after lunch. After class, they picked me up and we had dinner at Opah's, and then we went home.

And here I am now.

Look what I drew on the Glenmarie notepad!



It's U-know Yunho from DBSK. : ) Yay!

Edited

I'm sleepy. Goodnight!

In my arms,

in my soul,

I want to hold you, baby

You don't know how much I love you

Do you, baby?

Anata Ga Iru Kagiri

S.O.S. by Lisa and Acap. : D

Agama class was cancelled on Friday, which means I got to go home early that day. Yay! : D How many weeks had it been since I hadn't had lunch at Opah's?

It was a DALE day, because Lisa came with Nana from some picnic they went to before that. We went out to OU that evening to get Didi's birthday present. We got him 2 pairs of boxers. :3 One pink one from Pull and Bear (Lisa got an orange sweater for herself and and I saw an adorable blue hoodie there that I WAAAAAAAANT but it's like RM160) and a green one from Topman. After that we went to MPH for a while before heading back.

And yesterday, we celebrated Didi's sixteenth birthday at Red Box, The Curve. Before heading to the karaoke, I bought a birthday card and a book from Borders. The book is called The Miracle Life of Edgar Mint by Brady Udall. It sounds really interesting. I was torn between that and A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini, but finally decided on Udall, because it was the last copy and 60 sen cheaper. : P

The night was, inevitably, spent karaoke-ing. It was fun, but pretty tiring, vocal-wise. Some of the songs I remember singing was Stop (Spice Girls), Hotel California (Eagles), Zombie (The Cranberries), It's My Life (Bon Jovi), Don't Stop Me Now (Queen), All Or Nothing (O-town), Mr Brightside (The Killers), Cinta (Misha Omar & Jaq), The Start Of Something New (Zac Effron & Vannessa Hudgens), Drowning (BSB) and Go The Distance (Michael Bolton). I also picked 3 DBSK songs: Rising Sun, O and Shine, which Dan and I sang as best as we could. It was fun. : D

Everyone got a "party pack". They were wrapped in green (it being the theme and all) and contained all manner of random things from light bulbs to duck-shaped USB drives. Some were really small, wrapped in big boxes. It was fun having everyone open their "prizes". I got Clorox toilet bowl cleaner. : D Later, when some people had left, there were still extra parcels, so we got to open more, and I got a box of Kleenex and, after scavenging for unwanted goods, an inflatable beach ball and one of those racket-shaped battery-operated fly zapper. Haha! Not to mention a bunch of green ribbons and empty boxes.

By the time I got home it was past midnight, so I pretty much went straight to sleep.

And today I woke up early (meaning before 11) so that I could get the computer and watch DBSK videos on YouTube. : D

<3

MUST. REFRAIN. FROM. SQUSHING. Not that I could, anyway. I wish I could keep them in my pocket.

You gave me a world to believe in
