These guys are amazing. They look like a real boyband kan? Haha. Check out their Yellow Fever vid skali if ur up to it. Klaka. Not slapstick n it may take a while to baru feel but eventually u'll get it and u'll be laughing hard (or maybe im just easily amused :P).
Can any one of my friends please make something like this? pastu i nak join skali..hahahaha
Did you stand outside at 5pm today? Did you notice the colour of the sunshine? Did you see how blue the sky was? Did you see the long shadows playing across the grass? Did you see the hustle and bustle of uni students rushing to get home? Did you see them bathed in the yellow glow? Did you feel the crisp, cool breeze? Did you pull your jacket closer? Did you count the minutes to dinnertime? Did you smile at the thought of the song Stolen having the exact same lighting? Did you wish you could turn back and have just one more summer warm weekend? Did you thank God for having such a beautiful evening and for having the opportunity to view and appreciate every single detail? Did you wish I would shut up?
*sigh* I LOVE LOVE evenings like these. The yellow sunset is so pretty. It reminds me of Stolen and beaches. Which reminds me of my summer. Which reminds me of home and Bali. *double sigh*. Now I feel like swimming at Coogee again. hee.
When I listen to Madonna's old songs, you know the ones from the 80s and early 90s, the time where she dated Sean Penn and starred in that movie with Geena Davis and Tom Hanks about women playing baseball during the war, I can actually picture the old highway from KL to Penang. During Raya my family and I would go back to Penang and we'd use the old trunk road. Since my mom is quite partial towards music, my dad was in charge of the stereo, and I was bombarded with pop and rock hits of that era. Specifically Madonna (well thrs also Bruce Springsteen, Mariah Carey, Amy Grant, Billy Idol, etc..). Till now I can see the rubber tree plantations when I hear 'when you call my name, it's like a little prayer..'. Now I miss my dad. Heh. Owh it'll only get worse if I listen to Hotel California. Aduh.
I'm so afraid of having the people I love screw me over. I've seen best friends betraying each other and close friends drifting apart. I've felt people I used to trust hate me now. Bejeez. I know, if I don't want this to happen to me, I'd have to at least make the effort to not do it to others as well. It's harder than it seems. Seriously. I need a peanut butter milkshake and a hug. Hm.
Had a blast at karoake today. Surprised Hawa. Watched the tears of joy stream down her face as she cut the cake. Hung out Aussie style at Hyde Park. Had Italian food for dinner. Food was awesome as usual. Im gonna get a heart attack by the end of next month if i keep this up.
Anyway. I would say that this saturday was pretty good even though friday was less than hot. I just realised that my fridays are usually my emo anti-social days. Id rather sit at home n iron clothes than hang out til 3 at the hall. But i go anyway. I still dunno why. Hm. Sucker!
Im goin to see Gwen! Yay! And my quiche turned out well. The important thing is that people liked it. hee. And i wore my new top today. yay yay. but i got wet in the rain. pfft. ah well. at least gelato made the whole day end sweetly. :D
Im still obsessed with my Greek tutors accent. I simply love the way she speaks. She can even make MY name sound exotic to me. I can always picture olive trees, sun shining bright, the Caldera (Lena Kaligaris' influence) and the salty smell of the sea when she rants on and on about Greek gods and goddesses (she just called Aphrodite a prostitute today. keke) Im loving this subject more n more. :D. (yea, wait til u haf to write TWO 1200 word essays. We'll see how much u love it then).
My diet has FAILED. Well. Im the one who's failed actually. Considering i give in to all my stupid whims and fancies. Where has all my bloody discipline gone????? Attention: Disciple M.I.A. If found please return to the moron who goes by the name Dorkus Doro. My studying schedule has failed too. And its only week 4. pergh.
current mood: uncomplacent. pensive. weirdly moody (i got really upset about three and not being able to use my baby, moto krzr) current desire: to not have to worry abt my cholesterol and gorge on seafood and cheese. Owh n to not put on weight everytime I eat more than just a slice of toast. current songs: Thunder by Boys like Girls, anything by Phoenix (nak pegiiiiii!!!!) and that Shannon Shah song which always appears in my head at random moments. Dammit!
Gee. It hasn't even been a month since I landed in Sydney and already there's trouble in paradise (hmm. Who says uni is paradise?). It hasn't really been the best of weekends. Surprisingly I'm so numb I think there's something seriously wrong with me. I usually bawl but right now I don't feel anything. I mean I'm angry, I'm worried, I'm sad but I can't actually act out these emotions. Weird. I suppose it's good because I don't get too carried away this way. But then again, I'm afraid I'll burst pretty soon. Ah well. We'll see la. When mid term exams start I'm sure it'll be worse. Lots worse. Hee.
Emo song of the moment: When it falls apart, The Veronicas.
Owh I know! Maybe because I've got SO many other things to be thankful for. Auli getting in the top 100 scorers, my gediks and other lovelies like Jams, Zek, Erin n Dirah for standing by me. Not to mention those far away yet keeping tender grips on my heart: Liyana, Fatin, Intan, Shahir, Chomet n Asma. My new found friends and old ones who can light up my day just by saying 'Hi! I love ur hair!'. Mummy and daddy (happy birthday~heeeee). And my adik yang I teramat sangat rindu! Fooh. That feels SO much better.
Though there still is the issue of cheering up other people with worse breakdowns. I wish I could book a flight to UK right now. And whip my besterest buddy home and force feed her Mars Pods, Ms Read desserts and lotsa hugs and kisses till she gets waaaayyyy better. Unfortunately, all I can wish her now is luck. I hate this. She needs me and I can't be there. Bollocks.
I wanna dedicate this post to my cousin Auliyana Djafar. According to the Sun, she's on the top 100 SPM 2006 scorers list. My GOD. Alhamdulillah! Shes waaaay smarter than me thats for sure. N 10 times more hardworking as well. I actually cried when I read the list coz it's right there in front of me. You have no idea how proud I am of you Auli, n um dun cry eh when u read this. :P I hope you get to do what you really want and be succesful. Make us all proud yea? Especially Mohd Ishak Djafar coz I'm sure he wants us grankids to be as accomplished as him. (I honestly think u're much closer to it than me ;D). Love you loads kid. Kakak misses you ya. Good luck!
Polo tees and khakis. I think guys look really good when they tuck their polo collared tees (I prefer those of the Lacoste or Ralph Lauren Polo kind) into their khakis and wear a smart belt. The preppy look is totally hot. Of course when i say tucked in i don't mean hitching up those pants waaaay above the waist. I suppose jeans would work but khakis look smarter. Slightly unkempt hair scores bonus points with me coz he doesnt look so uptight that way. :D
A question for fashionistas out there: what do u wear with opaque tights if your legs are short? Coz I think i look like a schoolgirl with stumpy legs if I wear ballet flats with them. Seriusly. And I've only got ankle boots and next to zero tolerance for anything above 2 inch heels.
Oops. Gotta run. Class in 15 mins. Hee.
ps: just saw my cuzin, Maula's pics on frenster. Pergh. He and his frens are like poster children for the new generation of 'in-teens'. Lets just say they're like one tree hill versi melayu (celup) n muda. I swear they're all bloody good looking. For their age of course. I'm seething with jealousy coz I was never that good looking and neither were my guy friends. :P
Had a great weekend. Twas punctuated with plenty of girly talks and slumber parties. A great hsewarming/bday party. A grand trip to IKEA (i think I haf muscles aftr dragging the goodies back home) and of course the awesome MSO bbq at coogee. Hee. Had ice cream n swam. Its like being thrown into a washing machine. Creepy yet cool.
Okay. Forgive me for my lack of flair (see I cant even put dwn d right word). I juz woke up frm a LONG nap n i think ive depleted my regenerated brain cells by playing Kingdom of Loathing. Being cranky doesnt really help much. Im happy deep down sumwhere but on d surface im just. Plain. CRANKY.
I just had a scathing observation. Okay. I exaggerate. But i did observe this one weird fact. Do you know why most people who other people go to for relationship advice (ie: doctor love) are in actual fact not even IN relationships? Hmm. Its because people who ARE in relationships oredi haf f**ked up problems of their own to even bother with their friends' emotional tumult. And they're usually more biased pon. haha. And not only that. These so calld relationship menders have problems with their own love lives! (Guilty as charged) Who agrees with me???
Anyway, on a lighter note. I made muffins for my girls tadi. I seriusly had this huge urge to do so. Such a domestic Goddess. Kidding2. Its weird la. Id just have these random urges to bake and do laundry at odd times of the day. At least other people benefit from it. I do wonder however, why I can't get as passionate about cleaning the toilet or my room for that matter as I do when I pour those chocolate chips and beat the eggs with milk. Well, you win some lose some, Liz used to say. Hee.
I think I'm gona name my daughter Elena. I like how it rolls off the tongues of Greeks. Beautiful.
A dash of Disney, a sprinkle of pop punk, lashings of sweet treats, a pinch of superheroes, bundles of laughter and a tinge of crankyness.
All wrapped up in a pretty package that resembles the Cookie Monster.
Also self proclaimed Princess of Le Cupcake Kingdom
People I love. Music. Sweet treats. Singing animals. Movies. Princes. Books. Fables. Hindustan Heroes.

To finally figure out what I'm meant to do. To travel the world. To eat anything without gaining ungodly amounts of weight. To get my happily ever after. :)
