Top floor. Not funny.

Alhamdulillah, settled down in my new room for the next (two) semester in UTP. I am two blocks away from my fantabulous eight girlfriends and I think I might pop into their room later tonight. After all, I am what they described as "love to randomly visit us without any warning beforehand."

Or uninvited, you may say that too.

Anyway, I miss those girls. Initially, I thought I stayed in the same building as them, but I guess the supervisor I called to ask about my accommodation during the holidays made a mistake and told me I'll be staying in the wrong block.

So instead of two floors separating the girls and me, it's now two blocks.

But the great thing about my current block, it is the one nearest to the cafe. Not that I eat much when I'm in the campus, but c'mon. Who does not want a block that is a stone throw away? Besides, my window's facing a good amount of trees. Felt good when I stare at them. A nice change, I guess.

But now, I really need a refreshing shower because let's face it. Dragging two big-ass, heavy-like-shit luggage AND my laptop bag AND my food box AND my tote up the fifth floor using the classic staircase is tiring. Not, I mean tiring, than tiring, than the normal tiring. So, a refreshing shower, an apple, and I'll be setting off to explore block K!

Until then, keep calm and keep calm :3


P/s: Thank you Ibu and Ayah for the early birthday cake :') I is touched by that gesture and I is love you guyssssssss!

NOT slumbering.

Soo that's two people reminding NOT to sleep in the evenings. And now I am sleepy as fuck.

Okay. I'm going to start rambling in order to delay my packing my things as I'll be resuming my Chemical Engineering studies in *gasp* 5 days!

I started to listen to random songs on this internet radio thingy and I realized what are my weaknesses in music. Or my soft spots, if you may. The ones I find it hard to resist.

Covers. A capella. Mash-ups.

Really, really good ones, of course.

But my favorite singer? Hihi :3

Oh my. Why I am so freakin sleeeeeeepy?! And I just wrote some rubbish. Dammit. Climbing stairs let's go! Haha, bye!

Blood is thicker than water.

Ayah: Ni kalau cakap anak, orang takkan percaya la. (pointing at me and Alis)
Me: Habis tu, Ayah nak cakap apa?
Ayah: Ayah cakap la ni my wife (pointing at Ibu), ni anak saya (at Alis) and ni girlfriend dia (at me).
Ibu: (laughing)
Me: Say whaaaaat?
Alis: (pokerface)
Ayah: Ce bayangkan kalau datang dengan Sarah dengan Adan pulak.

*****

Ayah: Dah meja sebelah ni dok pandang pandang ni kenapa? Oh sebab badan Ayah besar kut?
Me: Boooooo
Ayah; (smiling smugly)

*****

Ayah: (while eating) Victoria Station ni dah kureng aaa dishes dia.
Me: Kaaaaaaaan? Nama kemain gah haa dulu.
Ayah: Nak tau tak lagi sedap makan kat mana?
(all of us nodded)
Ayah: (whispering) Dekat uptown Bangsaaaaaar.
Me: OMG YES.
Ibu: Alaa, sedap lagi kita buat steak kat rumah tu. Lagipun akak dah terer buat Outback's mashed potato.
Me: OMG YES YES.

*****

Ibu: I have to say, TGI Fridays lagi sedap (solemn face)

*****

Ayah: There's one more restaurant kita belum try.
Me: Apa dia?
Ayah: (with suspense-filled voice) The Ship.

Some of our nonsense while dining at VS last night. I can't even remember the rest, too many of the crazy antics by Ayah mostly. But I do remember how Ibu and Ayah talked a bit about my childhood with Alis. We talked a lot and joked around. The atmosphere there was different compared to the Bangsar one; more uplifting, relaxed and family-friendly than the serious, dim-lighted, hushed in the latter restaurant.

Funny how we were supposed to go to Al-Rawsha but we were 100% confident there was some sort of an event in that restaurant, by judging the full car park. So we wandered aimlessly before stopping in front of VS.

#np A Window to the Past.

A brilliant, chilling track to listen to, which it totally irrelevant to what I was talking about before that. Hihi. Run, I have to now. So, have a nice day y'all! Bye! :)


P/s: Happy Mother's Day to all the mothers out there! And it's cool to know I'm a certified by Ibu that I am the "most annoying child" :3

Human version of Psyduck.

So I need to make a list about my very own dreams or vision or whatever because honestly, I keep forgetting them! No joke. One day I wanted to do this activity and tomorrow, poof! It's gone. Like, really gone. I won't remember a thing about it until somebody brings that activity up in a conversation.

Okay maybe some of them, I can't really do it now or soon. Like, being in a vortex of manta rays. C'mon, to find one is hard enough. To find a pack of them? Plus, diving equipment availability?

And guess what, I'm going to forget about it in two or three days time, until the next time I watch manta rays' documentary. Yes. That's how I roll. Pfft.

I just wanted to do a whole load of things, but I'm so easily distracted.

          #1 - Be inside a vortex of manta rays.
          #2 - Chalk my hair. Purple's gonna be my first color, you wait. HAHA.
          #3 - New collection opaque iPhone covers. (I'm getting bored with translucent ones, sorry)
          #4 -

Okay, we'll get to number four later.

Oh for two days in a row, Ibu left the X6 at home and drove the Estima to work. And yesterday, she called and casually asked me to drive the car and have it washed at Nenek's car wash. For a split second, I went numb and involuntarily said a big fat "No".

Seriously. When Ayah drives that machine, he keeps saying how the gas and brakes pedal are close to each other, how you feel like you have a very limited and narrow vision field when you're on the driver's seat and how it is fuckin powerful. For Merlin's sake, it's a Bavaria Motor Work's vehicle weh. It's so different from driving the Estima, which thankfully, I'm getting accustomed with.

But I took back my "No" from Ibu and since my brother is more familiar with the car, I asked him to drive. We were planning to visit Nenek for a while but after we saw the first droplets of rain on the windshield after the carwash, that planned was cancelled. But when we arrived home, it hadn't start raining yet. So Alis asked me to drive the car around and around our housing area.

One thing for sure, I ain't driving it alone. I hereby, officially named Alis as my very own co-pilot.

          #4 - Buy and learn to play a guitar.

HAHA, yes. Until next time, buhbye! :)

Addictive system.

May second, two thousand and thirteen.

Nothing is smooth. But the bumps and cracks and holes made a person mature. More understanding. Learn new things about others. And begin to cherish everything you've been blessed with.

To sum everything up, I could use the words crazy, childish, self-embarrassing, havoc, threats, herp derp, daring, educational, delightful, happy, smug, memorable, sweet to describe the day out.

He's a Mister Incredible! Or Dash. Whichever, really.
Because he's wearing an Incredible tee. Geddit geddit?
Incredible?


Dammit, I'm getting lame. This is so sad.

Anyway, spending the day with one of my favorite person on Earth who I rarely got to see was beyond awesome. So, thank you for your time, that early morning threat, opinions, choices, information and system, ice cream, jacket, recommendation, motivation, everything. Thank you :)

Hugs and kisses,
me.

Of heroes and fire.

It's been more than a week.

Things changed a lot since then. My life turned upside down, which is something that I am not accustomed to. I went through a phase that I never expected will ever happen, but it happened anyways. Although I definitely hate that dark period of time, I'm glad things got better.

You know, I've been searching for the perfect analogy to explain to myself what really happened. But all I have now is an hourglass. It's like when a person decided to invert the hourglass and all the particles of sand in the glass raced to the other empty half and I'm one of the tiny grain of sand in it. Ya get what I'm saying? And what I see when the glass got turned, all the sand particles around me, all of them are eager to obey the gravitational law, not caring that they moving away and letting new set of particles surrounds me. And hypothetically speaking, I've never been to this new part of hourglass.

I'd like to think that the other particles around me initially as the main elements in my life. So, does it make sense? No? Don't worry, I always have difficulties explaining my points to another human being.

But anyway, my main point is, those original particles that I was attached to had gone to another place, far from me. I am in a new place, surrounded by unknown-and-sometimes-unpleasant new elements and this unfamiliarity irritates me. I'm not in my own zone, the ones whose arrangements and settings originally I'm familiar with. Maybe this is why I'm afraid and loathe changes? Maybe.

Whatever it was, I had to adjust my mindset and experiment with whatever I had with me at that time and try to live my life as near to normal as I could. But I can't be myself anymore. Not even when somehow, the hourglass was turned to its initial position and the situation now is back to how it was before; untouched.

Don't get me wrong, I'm thankful that it is back in its original place. But normal? Not really. One simple move, and it changed every single thing. It's impossible for me to wish for everything to be exactly like how it was. Perspective, attitude, feelings, confidentiality, impressions, receptions, priority. Everything changed.

It's a good thing you have loads of best friends and a hell of a freedom. At least you can distract yourself with their company. After all, they are your confidants, those who are willing and want your presence.

And I have my Michu. Right, Mich?

*Michu walks away*
WHAAAT? OKAY. DON'T YOU EVER COME INTO MY ROOM AGAIN -.-'
*Michu meows adorably and gives the Puss-in-Boots' stare*
Awwww, okay. Come on in.

Fuck, I'm getting crazy.

On a separate note, I regret watching The Avengers on Astro last week. At first, I was kinda curious about Black Widow's, and Hawkeye's history and how the Avengers started.  I mean, Thor's was pretty obvious with the Odin and Loki, Hulk with the radioactive stuff and given that HBO showed Captain America and Ironman a few days before that, so I sort of know at least, the basics of their background. So, I went to Wikipedia for a 'light reading'.

One of the stupidest move I've ever made in my whole life.

It's enough to say that my head is still buzzing from the conflicting incidents between what happened in the comics and what happened in the movies. That and the never-seen-before Marvel heroes name, which sometimes does not make any freaking sense at all. And the relationships between the supers which convinced me that at one point, Black Widow somehow could be in a relationship with Hulk.

Amekkau, ajaran sesat satu.

Maybe those comic enthusiasts will forever stand by their comics, but I actually love the X-men movies. What's X-Men had to do with this? Because I saw one article entitled The Avengers vs X-Men and honestly? I'm a big fan of face-offs. No joke. However, I never really read that article properly because from what I can deduce, that match continued for the span of 10 years? Who has time for that?!

Or did I mixed it up with some other war? Whatever.

And I managed to braid a strand of my fringe and clipped it! I tried to make it to look like a crown. You know, like when I parted my hair and braided after the parted line? Understand? Good. But after I braided the right section, it won't stay still like the left one. And I decided to NOT braid the stubborn right side. So I have a half-crown, maybe? Just like the Girl on Fire's crown after winning the 74th Hunger Games?

You wish, Yaya.

Haha. Well, okay. It's good to have a day off like today. Maybe this is what I need after the crazy emotional roller coaster ride I had since last week. To think about stuff, to listen to my own heart, to consider whatever option I have, to not let despair clouding my vision, to predict the possible consequences of my actions, to ask myself what I really want, to just be me for once in a while. I'll be fine, eventually. When exactly? I don't know, but I'm already on that road. Real soon, hopefully.

But now? Adan's bugging me to dry little Furball after we decided to bathe that one year old kitten. I know he's THE cat person in the family, but since I'm with the hairdryer in the house, soooo yeah. At least he didn't scrub Furball's head off, because that cat stinks, big time. Hihi.

Until then, toodles! :)
