Everyone's been asking me why I haven't blogged since early September. Maybe it's because the only things I'd rather share with everyone is how sucky honours is and how much I wish I could finish fast. But that would be boring and predictable wouldn't it?
Everything else I'd rather not share because it's too personal and laughter might be at hand when viewing those thoughts. Or sarcasm. Or a morbid desire to punch me in the gut.
But here I am, just telling the world that I'm still alive and kicking. Actually, my dad made me put this up. Don't ask me why. I couldn't care less if the rest of the world thought I disappeared.
Okla. If u want updates, here they are: I got to talk to n take pics with Reza Salleh. :D I've been gorging on Raya food and home cooked meals and now my jeans are UBER (ngeh ngeh) tight. The word 'family' keeps resonating in my head much to Hawa's chagrin. I'm in love.
Anyhoo. I'll end this with an 80s flashback. Come on, you know it's the real reason you want me to update kan? huh huh huh.
I feel like I have a hangover. Not that I know what hangovers feel like. But I reckon if I had one, this is what it would feel like. My head feels heavy. I can't really think straight. Hmm. In addition to that, I feel bloated and swollen all over. Relax, this is mere exaggeration. But I do feel like an elephant. For some reason I think the insides of my nose is swollen too.
Anyway. My weekend was the shiznit. I had quality time with Hawa and Firza at Paddington. I bought lip gloss and a dress. Woo Hoo! I had lotsa noice food. And I read some comics at night. And yet, even after 6 hours of walking along Oxford Street and staying up til 2am, I still couldn't sleep.
Yup. That's why.
And then the next day, I had the Mfest agm. I got to read Zek's speech so I got my 15 minutes of fame. Muahahaha. People made fun of me coz Afir and I were wearing matching clothes. You either think it's cute or annoying. We all know what I think. I swear we didn't plan it. Haha. Anyway, I'm finally free of responsibilities!! Yayyyy!! Now I can concentrate on those personal issues I have. Hahaha.
Then I spent the rest of the day with the boyfriend. Hee. Happy. Oh and please watch Eagle Eye. It's just mind blastingly superb. And Shia is so hot.
After that, I dropped by Puan Lin's place for her open house and after gorging on satay, laksa, macaroni and cheesecake (crud, I sound like a pig again), we had a few rounds of KARAOKE. Hurr Hurr. By the time I got home it was 2 and by the time I snuggled under the covers it was 3 something. Thankfully I fell asleep quick. But not before singing this a few times:
Oh, I'm SO excited! Lorraine of Not Quite Nigella just emailed me saying I'm getting ANOTHER apron from Annabel trends!
Apparently, they've actually put into production a bunch of aprons with my slogan on them. Therefore, to thank me for my contribution, they're sending me one of those aprons. :D
Once I get them I'll let you guys see okay? Yayyyy!!
ps: there was this whole issue with this blogger who critised MFest recently. The hype hasn't died down. I'm glad that our friends supported us and replied to her insensitivities but it seems that the bashings get bigger and bigger everyday. So please, no more spamming her blog. The more you tell her off, the more defensive she (and her bf) will get. Just leave the poor, ignorant girl be. She did have some valid arguments but she clearly has no clue how hard it is to run such a large scale event on such a low budget.
Oh its such a lovely bumming day todaaaayyyyyyy!!! :D
But I'm gonna miss my committee. No seriously. I will. We're a bunch of nuts really during our meetings. Well, what do you expect with Zek as the CEP? :P
And now, I cannot poke fun at Josh anymore. :( I cannot hear Joana and Salina talking about boys. I cannot hear Jenny's heartwarming laugh. I cannot see Amanda all stressed out over money. I would like to say that I'm glad Afir can't poke fun at me anymore but I know he'll find a way SOMEHOW. Goddamit.
I just want to say that I am EXTREMELY proud of the MGM team.
From the actors who did a great job, to the dancers who were spectacular, to the hardworking crew and of course the committee themseleves.
Kudos people! Especially those you'd never expect to commit themselves to something like this. :D
The show itself was really good. I had so much fun singing along and swaying to the music and laughing and clapping. But then again, these are my friends we're talking about. And they had one Disney song. Of course I was swelling with utmost pride and glee.
So up next would be the Mfest team's turn. :S Please Please Please don't let it rain. And please don't let any of us screw up. Oh and I heard the girl in front of me say, 'Omigod, I am SO going for Mfest', because she saw all the food in the video. Muahaha..Thanks Nadee! Objective tercapai! For those of you who missed it:
All this while I thought the kebaya and kurung were the product of my culture and roots. They in fact, are the result of Dutch colonisers promoting more modest clothes to the Javanese women. So yes, even the Indonesian national costumes were thought of by Europeans and their Eurasian wives. Pfft.
As a few of my friends have said, the momentum is gone. You toil over something and it still doesnt seem to be over.
However, the love for Malaysia Fest is rooted deep within my soul. I think of it every hour of the day. Even til the wee hours of the night. Such is my dedication to one wonderful day filled with glorious FOOD, spectacular performances and fabulous games and prizes.
There were just too many of them. The music was great. The singers were so hot. The NDN still made me smile and act all awkward while staring at the opposite direction. Man. The part about crushes that suck is that you know its not going anywhere. I know it's totally physical. Those dimples...the messy hair..
It's time to start pulling my weight around here. Motivation of the week: how cool I would look with a kebaya and a Walkie Talkie patrolling Tumbalong Park. If that doesn't get me attention, I don't know what will. :(
I have this really bad habit of perusing beautiful people's pictures. No, I'm not talking about celebrities. I'm talking about my seniors from high school. And some other random distant friends. Yea, other people call them accquaintances.
Sometimes the lighting aint that great and yet, they look gorgeous. I think its the whole combo of designer wear, perfectly applied makeup and glamorous hair. Oh, and I love the fact that they always have soirees and bday bashes together even after so long. This isn't like 2-3 people. This is like 8 girls okay. And their partners. Which brings me to another point. Not only are they all fabulous and upper manhattan and what not, they all have boyfriends. Some have even been together since high school, and going strong despite LDRs. My god.
Okay. Maybe I'm just delusional. Oh, but you know what? Liyana and her girls look totally hot as well. And you know what else? My girls and I are definitely gorgeous too. Hee.
Ps: Last year, I had Mfest meetings and play practise on weekends and MGM dance practises on Wednesday and Saturdays. I got sick after that. Last semester, I had a week of midsession exams, the UMNO elections and Mfest stuff to submit. I had a stupid breakdown at the end of that as well. So please understand when I say, I just want to sit at home and pretend I'm antisocial. Not everyone can keep doing the same things over and over again with their hearts in it fully. It's called being jaded. Thank you.
Im super tired. I just spent 5 hours serving customers at Selera Sejati's stall at Mfest. Twas fun anyway. Even tho i could only get tiny glimpses of the performances. But yea, serving food wit PPMS n d Gedik Queens was fun. :D. Met plenty of Msian ppl. I cldnt believe that thr were THAT many Msians residing in Sydney. Students, pensioners, families. It was great seeing a part of my country out here In Aussie. Made me feel rite at home again. Funnily enuff i got to meet my old hi skool frens like Caroline who i havent seen for d past wat, 3 yrs? n of course Nabilah!
