well at least dis thing work on my laptop..been trying to update my blog for the past few days but dunno wats wrong wif my pc...the cursor refuse to go to the text box for me to type..haiz anw lemme update some things dat has been happening

mendaki was ok last sat..only the boys turned up for class..so i told them dat im like a rose surrounded by thorns..n they dun get wat im saying..haha so i haf to explain it to them literally.. anw i received an early teacher's dat present fr one of my students also..was really touched wen fahmie(the student), came to my table n said "cher, for u..happy teacher's day!" :-)

then as usual, me n kisha went out for early dinner after teaching..we went to delifrance at TM to eat n headed to bugis to get sm stuff..went to bugis village n both of us got dis bag..it looks like a projectshop bag which i had..but dis one is way cheaper man..hehe then after dat, lepak at coffeebean for a while..talked abt things, i think we keep each other's secrets well..so its nice sharing my joy n hardship wif someone i can confide in..n i didnt noe coffeebean's brownie tastes damn good!!haha

anw nasz told me dat he saw me at bugis mrt..was chatting wif him at msn yesterday wen he asked if i were at bugis the day before...so i told him yeah, i was wif a fren..he said he's nt sure if it was really me, dats y he didnt approach me..anw we havent met in person n he doesn't haf my hp num also..hehe but i told him he shld jus come up n say hi to me, like wat my another fren fr friendster did last time..then he said he was paiseh la, wateva la..but i didnt notice anyone who looked like him..dats y i told nasz dat most of the time, im partially blind..didnt notice ppl around me..hehe

and i went to help out at adlin's bro's wedding on sunday..she called me up the day b4, saying that she's short of manpower..i was contemplating whether i wanna go at first, cos i barely know her n her family..only got to noe her thru hasni..then hasni 'sweet-talked' me to come n help.. haha so me, hasni, effi and ifwah n adlin's relatives help out wif the kendarat thingy..it wasnt dat bad after all..at least i noe ppl like hasni n effi there..but it was damn tiring sia..so long never kendarat, so i didnt expect it to be so tiring..hehe

i jus got home sia n im dead tired..thot wanna go hm straight after sch cos i had stomach cramps fr morning..but promised shaik to meet up wif him cos he wanna discuss wif me abt the insurance thingy..luckily my cramps subsided by then..anw i might be buying the insurance la.. need to keep my $$ somewhere safe..haha but i need to think carefully if im able to set aside 80 bucks per mth for it..

n met up wif aisah n zaky at paya lebar after dat..zaky had to leave earlier so me n aisah headed to bugis to go shopping..i bought a new pair of sandals n i lurve it..looks very girlish la but i like.. haha n i saw a really nice levi's bag, but then d price nt nice ah..hehe it costs like 119 bucks.. haiz i think its a bit too ex for a bag..i'll settle for smth else i guess

anw i told aisah abt dani aka faiz..like how he said he noes her n zaky..n i didnt noe he went to d same ngaji place as them..n i knew dani for like almost 2 yrs n i didnt noe dat..it was only yest wen dani surfed my friendster profile, he saw aisah in d pic..wat a small world..haha n faizal was all excited wif d fact dat me n dani knew each other..confirm kecoh @ their ngaji place.. cos dani told faizal dat he sorta likes dis girl fr nus (which was supposed to be me)..but faizal had no idea dat he was referring to me..so now he's making a big huu haa abt it..he kacau me like crazy jus now..crappy sia dat guy..i didnt even noe dat dani likes me in d first place..we never even meet in person seh.. then faizal said he's gonna plan a grp outg so dat me n dani can eventually meet up..haha well i think everybody's connected in dis world huh.

its still too early for me to go to sch..so thot of writing smth here..i only haf a 2 hr lecture later fr two to four..wat a waste of time traveling all the way to sch..haiz but i cant skip dis lect since its d first lecture..lets hope dis module is gonna be interesting but seriously, i doubt so..haha hafta take dis module cos its one of the uni's requirement to graduate..

i've been listening to the song alhamdulillah by too phat n yasin over n over again..it kinda grows on u wen u hear it..d lyrics make u pause a while n reflect whether u've done ur responsibilities as a muslim..im nt trying to sound like a staunch muslim here cos im nt..haha but once in a while, wen i listen to such songs, d feeling is jus therapeutic

btw, i've been reading dis book called 'secrets abt men every woman shld know', recommended by kisha..i mus say i learn quite a lot fr it..the author even discussed the 6 biggest mistakes women make wif men..rite now, i've read till chap 5, which is 'secrets abt men n sex'..moving on to the next chapter, 'men's top 20 sexual turn-offs'..which is gonna be interesting i guess.. haha

Sunday, August 01, 2004

well i jus reached home n look at the time..its 2am!! went to the 'awallah dondang' performance @ SP..it was pretty ok after all..not dat draggy as the 'pentas pujangga' last time..alfiyah was one of the performers n she did great i mus say..she had to come up wif some impromptu actions n adlib since there were some technical problems, like the curtain of the stage refuse to open..haha dat was funny seh..i esp like the dikir barat n nasyid performance..the DK was realli entertaining coz all the guys were so 'selamba' n they make their performance funny n informal..then the nasyid was not bad bcos i was checking out this guy who was performing..n i must say "ohh la la.." haha..he's damn cute man..saw him upclose after the performance n he's no doubt, super duper cute..n kisha was head over heels wif him until she even wanna take photo wif him..but in the end, she was too shy to do dat..haha

n of coz, i drove today :-) thank god d journey to n fro was smooth..guess wat my bro told me was true after all..b4 driving, u mus always remember to baca bismillah or the doa naik kereta.. no matter how in a hurry u are, always dun forget to do dat..since i dun memorise d doa naik kenderaan, i juz baca bismillah :-)..n true enuf, i felt more relaxed than usual while driving.. cos i remembered dat there was one occasion where i didnt baca d doa n i felt so kanchiong while driving..until i swerved the car abruptly jus to beat the blinking green arrow..dat was a scary experience cos the car was in high speed n i felt as if the car was abt to overturn.. so mus always bear in mind to baca bismillah b4 d starr of the journey..n dat reminds me of ashwandi's request to get him the doa naik kereta cos he emailed me asking for it.. if im not wrong, there r a few versions of doa naik kereta n my dad used to put it in our old car..mebbi i shld ask him to get the sticker which has the doa on it n paste in the car..easier for me to refer to wen i wanna drive

anw after the performance, we went to simpang bedok to haf supper cos all of us were famished..i ate fish n chips, which was super huge..but i managed to finish it la hehe..then i hafta be a part-time chauffeur for the day n sent 4 of my frens home..sent non home first since she's staying in kembangan..next was kisha, followed by ain since both staying in tamp.. n lastly, aisah..stayg at sengkang..jauh seh satu2 tinggal..then back to tamp..dats y i reached hm at 2am.. but it was fun la..driving wif frens cos they all giler seh, luckily i hafta pay attn on the road, if not i'll join in their crap..haha n of coz, i proved to my mum dat im capable of driving safely since im back in one piece..haha so she has no reasons not to trust me n let me drive alone the future ;-)
