What Makes A Man

5-room
4-room
2-room
This girl is the most cheerful person I've ever met. There is no silent moment when you're with her. & sometimes, you can really talk about deep stuff with her one moment, and the next, you can laugh your ass off at each other. Today's meeting was random and unplanned. I was in school to pay the stupid fines I got for using the game room, and Haz didn't turn up, and Liyana happened to be in school for FYP, so we both ended up at Toa Payoh for a late lunch. After lunch, we went over to this HDB building where they had this showroom of the flats they have. & by the way, the picture of her is the showroom for the 2-room flat. The toilet has 2 door entrances. Imagine doing your business and forgetting to lock the other door, then someone comes right in on you. That would be soooo embarrassing.

I've been having bad headaches lately. It's so bad to the point that when I'm on my feet and the dizzy spell hits me, I actually sway. Then I will have to sit down till the dizziness goes away. Gosh, sucks to be me.

Gamelan on Tuesday and Wednesday. Balinese on Wednesday night. I can't wait till the show comes. It's so very exciting!!!!!! Wooooooo!!!!!

At least I have many things to do for the next 2 months.

& MOTHER IS IN HONG KONG, TOTALLY ENJOYING HERSELF. SHE WENT ON A CRUISE TO WATCH THE SUNSET. ARGH, I WISH I DECIDED TO FOLLOW HER. GAAAAHHHHHH.

& you know what? Westlife never gets old. :p

Okay, it's 11 now. Have to head off to sleep, else I'll wake up late tomorrow. Breakfast in the morning with Boyfriend-for-2-months (LOL, Ahmad, don't jealous! :p) before the bridging programme thing. Lancaran Yuyu~~~~

This isn't goodbye
Even as I watch you leave
This isn't goodbye
I swear I won't cry
Even as tears fill my eyes
I swear I won't cry

When We Say

Now that I've cleared up a little, I can finally remember what exactly happened yesterday. Pffffft.

I have to say first that Balinese rehearsal was arggghhhhhh. No surprise though, it is as usual, stressing. Anyway, the poster or brochure or whatever you call it for Suara Bali was out, and Mei Yin gave me one. So, I shall probably get GNK to go. Hmm.

2 people offered to be my boyfriend for the next 2 months. HAHAHAHA. None other than my 2 buddies, Liyana and Syai. It cheered me up somehow. & talking to Syai after a while brought back the good old memories of W35F. Sigh.

Anyway, Mother dearest left for Hong Kong today. But last I heard, she ended up stuck in the hotel with a flu while the others went shopping. I am soooooooo not surprised. Mum's nose can never stand any type of cold. Abeh boleh berangan nak gi New Zealand. Her nose would probably fall off. HAHA. Kay la, I kind of miss her loud, annoying, commanding voice around the house. The house seems too quiet without her. Okay, scratch that last. The kids were just fighting earlier. But kids are, well, kids.

Hippo came over just now with her maid and Nabilah. I kind of decided to let go of the past yesterday when we met up for dinner with granddad's family. It was kind of random, by the way, the dinner. Seafood at Fisher's Tavern never fails to satisfy your hunger. Even though an hour before that, I actually had a Filet-o-Fish meal at Macs with Liyana and my sis. Perangai orang gemok. Finished up the whole plate of cereal prawns, favourite sia. & Tom Yam soup, absolutely mouth-watering. Omg, my stomach's grumbling just talking about food. So, Hippo and me are talking again, and I was joking around with Cik Jal yesterday. Just like we used to, ya know? I found that I actually missed that.

But you know, sometimes, there are things that people do that makes you unhappy with them. But then again, what is the point of holding grudges? :)

Will be meeting Haz tomorrow to go to school to pay the stupid fines we got for using the game room. -.- I got a $1.00 fine. Like that also must go all the way to Woodlands. Gosh! & I still can't get over the fact that Haz declined a job offer just because I didn't get it too. Epic sia! Hahahaha, kay la, shall not go into that or I'll end up laughing non-stop again. HAHAHAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I will not be listening to my phone playing this song for the next 2 months. The exact same song from 0:27 onwards. But, ohwells. I got surprised when I opened my MSN and read a long mono-conversation from Ahmad. So cute. As usual. :]

The end of my day: this little girl.
At least, I had a reason to stop crying.

That long message had me crying worse.
The hugs from Liyana had me crying even worse.
But the four of them at least tried to make me feel better.
Shak, Rafi, Liyana and my sis.

I'll pray for your safety, always.
& I'll wait patiently till you come back.
Be safe always, and have fun there.
I love you. :)
Think I might just cry tomorrow.
Sigh.

I'll always remember today.
From buying your camera bag,
to having nasi goreng at the Esplanade concourse,
to walking in the sunshine to Marina Bay Sands,
to walking around The Shoppes endlessly,
to poking fun at each other,
to endless photo-taking with your new camera,
to another round around The Shoppes because it rained,
to walking in the light drizzle back to City Hall,
to singing old national day songs,
to marching kiri, kiri, kiri kanan and switch,
to just, being with you.

I smiled a lot today.
I laughed so much today.
I fell in love again today.
You made me have premature ventricular contractions.

But the whole time, I was holding back my tears,
not wanting to ruin a fun day for us.

All I can say is thank you,
for letting me have such wonderful memories of today
to last me till the day you come back.

I love you very much. :)

Things are pretty crazy around here. & today was so kecoh with Liyana because we were asking and discussing about getting jobs. Then I had to join Haz and Cynthia on MSN to discuss about which FYP project to select. So I'm waiting till I can get ahold of that Azhar who is always so busy somehow. Haha. Deadline is like so soon. :/

I discovered something last night that I'm very happy about. I'm gonna just stay happy about it. HAHA.

I'm kinda craving a Double Filet-O-Fish meal right now. Hmm.

Sakura tomorrow with the GNK darlings! :D:D:D:D:D:D x736483985429342

5 days left

Thursday, February 17, 2011

Pretty much like this shot a lot.

Tomorrow's the last day of UT!!! I don't know why but I don't feel happy about it. The years just went by too fast. After this holidays, I'll be in Year 3. I'm not prepared for it and the UTs so far have been easy, which means they'll go strict on the moderation part. :(

So, last night, I had a long, super long chat with my maid. Mother and Father were not around, and middle sister was studying in the room while the 2 younger brats were watching TV, so I had pretty much a peaceful chat with my maid. However, it is not that much of peaceful. She was actually reading her huge encyclopedia called Al-something, where inside is all you wanna know about Islam. They cover about azab Neraka, the different categories of Neraka, to the beautiful gardens of Syurga and Ahklak and all that. So, before she made me read some sections of that book (1000++ pages, oooohhhmygawddd!) we discussed about what happened when he came by the other day. I don't really like talking about the bad stuff about my family here, especially since I know people are reading into my personal life, but I have nowhere to vent except my diary. So anyway, I learnt many shocking possibilities that my maid brought up and we discussed it last night that brought us to a few possible conclusions as well.

So firstly, all these years, he had really wanted to meet us. Well, of course, this is his elder sister we're talking about. & of course, I feel safe to say that me and Far were the only nieces that he always brought out jalan-jalan with his girlfriend. Heh. Anyway, he told my mum that he told both my youngest aunts to arrange for him to meet with my mum, but they didn't. So, obviously, they'd always had his contact number but never even told my mother. Well, I'm not surprised 'cause those two women have always been like that. & apparently, my aunt who married that ang moh actually bad-mouthed about us. Wow. That's what we get for helping her out when her house almost got sold and when she was going through divorce. Tsk3. Apa nak jadi dengan manusia skarang.

So my maid was telling me about Mother dearest talking about this radio syarahan or something that was talking about penzina and children who are unfilial to their parents. Then she said, "Ah, tu Tini kene dengar ni. Die kan dulu slalu gadoh ngan mak bapak die." & my maid actually replied something about orang yang durhaka pada ibu-bapa, Allah akan turunkan balasan di dunia, or something like that. & Mother dearest teros shut up and changed the subject.

Mom, HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Terase!

But, true. Look what happened with my grandpa.

Now, moving on to that couple pulak. He told my mum that during the time when Mother halau grandpa out of the house because of what he did with that maid, apparently a few years later, something disturbed his wife until she was wheelchair bound. So when he brought his wife to see the Ustaz/tukang ubat, they said that it was sent by either my grandpa or the maid. But my maid's theory is that it's most probably the maid.

But! We're not accusing her of anything. Hanya Tuhan sahaja tau yang sebenar. But this is what we can deduce based on our own observations. So, it's not wrong.

Why did my maid say that?

Because the maid is from Madura.

I asked my maid why she thinks that way. Apparently, people from Madura (some la!) use ilmu hitam/black magic. But I protested. I said: Tapi, kalau die pakai ilmu hitam, macam mane die boleh bace Qur'an, solat tu sume?

& my maid excitedly opened her Islam encyclopedia *smack forehead* and read to me this section that was like, people who are religious on the outside as a cover for the evil things they do. I was like, whoa! Such people exists! & my maid was like, dorang masok neraka la nanti!

Duh! -.-

So I did a little research on black magic in Madura. & yeah. It's true. Not all of the people la, but there are some who practise it. & our theory is, what happened 12 years ago in that bedroom could possibly be because she used it on my grandpapa. I mean, kalau kau dah naik Haji, takkan la nak buat maksiat. So, our theory was he was possibly under a spell. & my maid said that ever since that incident, my mother swore that she would never, ever take a maid from Madura again.

So after realizing this, I was like, noooooooooooooooooooooo!!!! I've been nice to her all these years ever since I witnessed what happened and now, there is a possibility that she used that on my family members! Pffft.

No wonder my mum wants to run away so badly. Haha.

My maid even said that both Habib Saggaf and Ummi Aisyah told my mum that it's not safe if she stays in Singapore. So, from the start, they knew! -.-

& speaking of Ummi Aisyah, when she comes to Singapore for the usual maulids, when it'll be at my house, confirm that maid bace very loud. I've always found that annoying. -.-

From now on, I'll pray hard for Allah's protection around my family.

Yeah, of course I'll let it go, but you know, sometimes, you can forgive, but you can't forget. The scenes in that room are still etched in my mind till this day. Sometimes, I'd feel like digging out those bad memories just so that I wouldn't replay them at random moments or be reminded of them.

But, my maid said that from this family alone, I can learn a lot of things just by observing hard. Some members have committed many crimes and from their experience alone, I can actually become a better person. But she's too late; I've long realized it. So I guess being part of this family is kinda beneficial in some way. :D

Okay, that's it. Tata for now! :D
