f.r.i.e.n.d.s

I MISS YOU. AND YOU. YOU TOO. AND YES YOU TOO.
I MISS ALL OF YOU.
i wish i could fly back now, receive warm hugs from all you, and fly back here.
all i need is familiar people, familiar voices and familiar hearts.
things are so difficult in here.

of handbags and major

Bak kata pepatah Melayu,

Hendak seribu daya, tak hendak seribu dalih.

Jadi sebagai seorang Melayu yang sejati, saya pun ingat menjadikan pepatah tadi sebagai moto hidup saya buat masa ini. (The language I am using has nothing to do with the pepatah whatsoever. Bahasa still rojak, okay? Hehe)

What I literally mean is,

Kalau nak handbags, mestilah usaha cari duit untuk beli.
(kalau tak paham, refer to previous entry dated Feb 19)

Dengan itu, I'm officially in a mission of saving my duit gaji untuk beli both handbags.
Yeap, both.
Jadi, kalau saya bekerja keras in for the next two weeks, duit gaji saya akan cukup untuk membeli kedua-dua handbag itu.
Oh, terima kasih Registrar's Office kerana menerima saya bekerja.
You pay for most of my visits to the mall.

Today at work, I was fixing the Change of Program application forms.
What made me 'geleng kepala' countless of times in 4 hours just now was seeing mat salleh2 semua asyik menukar major mereka. Ada yang every year tukar major.
Ada yang lagi teruk daripada tu, every quarter tukar major. Bayangkan, selama 4-5 quarter, keje die was to jump from one major to another. Quarter kelima baru satisfied agaknya.
Gila indecisive okay.
And macam, setiap quarter? OMG, what were you thinking young man/lady?
Ade la lebih 10 orang yg kejenye asyik tuka major.
Kesian pun ada, pelik pun ada.
Semoga mereka menemui jalan yang benar.

nasi lemak and donuts.

what better way to celebrate the end of your 'puasa ganti' other than to have a home-cooked meal that you miss the most, like Nasi Lemak Ayam Goreng Berempah and....jeng jeng jeng
DONUTS!!!
hahahaha
the chickens, to me, (sbb I cooked them), rase mcm ayam kat pasar malam tu.
which is good. if we had more rempah ratus, I think they will taste exactly the same.
*happy alert #1*
so, my roommate and I have been craving for donuts for a few weeks.
only today we had the time to make them.
so we started making the dough at ard 4.30 pm, before I break my fast.
the recipe said we had to wait for about 2 hours for the dough to 'kembang'.
but, dgn tidak sengajanya, i slept from 7-*cough*11*cough*.
bangun2 je, trus pikir what happened to our donuts???
nasib la nmpk kina tgh uli2 and made the dough into shapes.
hati rungsing memikirkan takut donuts tu xjadi coz dah biar lama sgt.
called my mom and she said 'nape biar lama sgt? kuasa naik die dah hilg'
*ok mama ayat xbole nk skema lg*
lpas she started telling me her recipe.
too bad da terlmbt.
but we proceeded anyway. xkesah la jd ke tak.
n then, bile da goreng2, OMG! they actually taste like real donuts!!
hahaha
*happy alert #2*
gile excited, esp me.
gmbr dibawah adelah prove we tried making donuts.
but please be aware of the contents.
mungkin akan gelak melihat the irregularly shaped donuts.
well, there is always first time in anything kan?
so, cut us some slack k.


p/s: spjg proses pembikinan donut, the overexpressed was 'makcik tepi jalan'.
"eh rase mcm donut makcik tepi jalan k"
"makcik yg jual donuts ni msti tgh kuat, sbb bukan sng nk uli ni"
"rindunye nasi lemak makcik tepi jalan"
"me: eh nnti kite jual la nk nasi lemak+kuih2 melayu, $5. kina: eh da macam makcik tepi jalan la plak"

to makcik tepi jalan out there, we totally miss you!
you rock socks!!

the story of bags

i'm a huge fan of bags/handbags.
since i don't really like wearing heels, i don't have many options in buying shoes.
so, collect handbags la.
ok, enuff of the introduction.
i'm craving for handbags right now.
see below for more details:

Flying High Hobo-Nine West.
Reason to buy: I don't have a black handbag. *pathetic* This one is perfect.

Leather Patchwork Hobo-Nine West
Reason to buy: I've been looking for tan/yellow handbags for ages. Turns out this is a good one.But, in the website, it says that this bag is 21" in length. Pjg gile kot! Tapi nakkkkkkkkkk!! I have been eyeing this bag for a month dah kot. Tak beli2 lg.

And another one, is my Spring Quarter school bag.
It's Spring y'all.
Beg kene la match the season.
The current one I am wearing is black in color, to suit the gloomy Winter. hehe
Tapi, belum tgk di mane2 lg. Hence, no pictures.
But I know what I want already.
Bright colors, with Spring-y patterns.
Yeap, guess I have a work to do after this. *evil laugh*

Ok ok, masalahnye disini, I don't have enough money to buy all three.
I have been spending the money I save for California trip later in the summer.
*mati Syafiq marah*
So, macam mane eh?
A girl's gotta satisfy her desires. Kalau tak nnti emo. Haha. *alasan*
Kawan2, bg early birthday present bole?
Huahuahuahua

so random

I am classic.

I listen to Mariah Carey, Whitney Houston, Jim Brickman, Frank Sinatra, Gloria Gaynor, Boyz II Men, just to name a few.

Oh, I can listen to songs as old as The Temptation's and Beach Boys'. I love how they danced in the mvs.
So adorable.

Not to forget, I listen to Westlife sometimes.

I barely know any latest songs. While others indulge in the modern pop and catchy numbers, I am more comfortable listening to those mentioned above. It suits myself, my personality really well.

Jason Mraz is an exception, though. =)

And some Indonesian songs too.

Oklah, Malay's jugak.

confession of a shopaholic

my latest crush: hugh dancy.
*robert pattison dah jatuh no.2*
*tp syafiq masih no.1*
apparently UK actors are hotter than American actors.
the accent is such a turn-on.

go and watch confession of a shopaholic.
xbaca buku pn xpe.
isla fisher is so adorable and hilarious, just like how sophie kinsella potrayed her in the book.
hugh dancy xpyh ckp la. kacak amat. gentleman plak tu. di top off dgn british accent. *cair*
i give 4.5 stars. if a UK production made this movie, it would be a 5-stars.

lagi lagi shopping

choosing shopping partner(s) is just like choosing a good pair of jeans or a handbag or whatever that you intend to buy.

i'm glad that i found superb shopping partners here in RIT.
i love them to bits.
kenapa?
because they are the kind of people yang when you get up late in the afternoon(erk!), tengok2 weather forecast it's gonna be 10 degree today, ym them, ajak kua because the weather is so good that we can't miss it, and terus cakap, 'okay okay jom! nak mandi/siap sekarang!'
and bile dah sampai mall, semua akan beli something atau pun shopping berlori2, eventhough twas a last minute plan.
so tell me now, how can i not love them?
they are the kind of people you really wanna stick with until you dah kahwin and beranak 8.
we decided that when we get married, there must be a weekend that we would spend together, chatting, gossiping, shopping, dining and not forgetting pampering ourselves at a spa.

okay now lemme me introduce them;


fauzana kasim aka pao. teman shopping sejati.
selalu beli bnde yang lebih kurang same, seperti cardigan di dalam gambar.
ayat fav: ko beli, aku beli. belila belila. ala dila jom la beli. ko beli, ako beli.


sakina shahabudin aka si roomate. teman buat kerja gile. bile time gile smpi, mmg akan buat keje gile seperti menjelajah ke setiap pelosok mall/plaza/kedai/cinema yang ada sekitar rochester ni, tidak kiralah berjalan kaki ataupun bus. kua dr pagi, malam baru blk.

aisyah mohamad nor aka ecahmomo. shopaholic sejati. consultant online shopping kerana beliau amat berpengelaman. kena ajak at the right time, baru die nak kua. tapi sekali kua, shopping selori. selalu mempunyai minat dan keinginan yang sama.

newly added to the list: athirah yusof aka si housemate. susah juga ingin mengajak beliau keluar shopping. dan juga susah utk influence die beli bnde. tp sebab sekepala, layan je. agak unik dalam pemilihan barang-barang yang hendak dibeli. tidak seperti dengan yang lain-lain dimana kami mempunyai minat dan keinginan yang sama.

sekianlah sahaja.
saya sungguh gembira hari ini.
thanks korang!
sayang korang!

p/s: tetibe rindu forever 21. dah lama xshopping kt sane. nape lah jauh sgt kau wahai forever 21. wlpn online shopping ade, tp....

p/p/s: kalah lagi GU Unification Night tahun ni. ngoks nye jentings. bajet2 ah. stakat tukar lagu and gaya sikit2. bosan la wei!

berangan

I am not Izzie Stevens,
because I can dissect chicken embryo without having to cry, or feel a slight guilt to the poor embryo.

I am not Christina Yang either,
because there was some part of me that still went 'euwwww' and 'yuucckk' while doing the lab.

Who am I, then?

Mestilah Meredith Grey. Ala, yang boleh nangis and kesian kepada serial killer tu. Partially hardcore and lembik. Hehe

****
Kepada sesiapa yang tak tengok Grey's Anatomy, you can ignore this entry and keep your mouth shut.

Kepada yang tengok, ini hanyalah comparison yang tidak berapa berasas pun, eventhough i still think i'm partially right. haha. i'm a huge fan, cut me some slack, will ya?

Ceritanya begini, tonight in Tissue Culture lab we had to do this procedure where we had to dissect a chicken embryo (ye, masih dalam telur tu, nampaklah ayam xsiap tu), take out its organs and make primary cell culture of out the organs.
Some felt uncomfortable by the thought of having to perform the procedure, and I was one of them.
But when I actually got into the lab and saw another girl did it,
dalam hati "oh, itu je ke. i can do that."
haha.
That's about it.
*Harap-haraplah my cells grow well.*

Johannes Brahms - Lullaby

nak ini!

saya perlukan ini sekarang juga!
stress teramat!
kerja berlambak tak siap.
weekend dah hbs.
tolonglah angin bawa godiva chocoiste milk strawberries ke atas meja saya sekarang juga.
merekalah pengubat stress saya.
oh barnes and noble, kenapa tak buka 24hrs??
sepatutnya stock up mereka awal2 lagi kerana tahu time of the month sudah hampir tiba.
dang!
