Bad Week

I haven't been able to update my blog for so long. Because I had so much things on my mind. College, money, college, money, homesick, laziness, and so on. I felt like I haven't got anything to keep me motivated in doing certain things, including blogging. And guess what, I had such a bad mood last week and come this week, the negative vibes are still around.

What happened last week could be the worst thing ever happened to any owner of a personal computer or laptop. My laptop's hard disk broke down on Wednesday. Took it to a computer shop on Thursday and the repair guy told me to take it to Acer's Service Centre to get the hard disk replaced for free. And yes, my laptop is still under warranty so I took it to the service centre. Guess what, the service centre personnel told me that I couldn't claim the free service under the warranty because my laptop was bought in UK and it could get free service only in UK. I was like, "WTF?". I was so shocked when I read the Acer's warranty policy. After making several calls to the Acer Hotline, I finally surrendered. And I ended up paying all the repair cost. There goes my monthly allowance down the drain. I wouldn't buy any other Acer's product anymore in the future.

I'll start serving as an intern in a district health office somewhere in Malaysia this end of July. I was hoping that I can get posted somewhere in my hometown or my home state but I couldn't. Some bastards took my dream place first so I guess I'll end up somewhere I don't know and don't want. And so I think those things that I mentioned above are the reasons why there are so much negative vibes in my life right now. I will try to make things better tomorrow, and I hope you guys will pray for my best. See you guys soon.

p/s: Oh look, my grammar sucks. And I'm such a bad-mouthed girl. Forgot to mention that I yelled several times to the Acer's Hotline's operator.

My Super Boy

In 2008, he would always make this facial expression whenever we wanted to take his pictures. And he would never got tired of getting his hands on the car steering wheel.



As for the year 2009, and at the age of 2, I don't know how he managed to make another cute but funny face. Presenting the new trademark of my 4th nephew, El Arshad. Face of 2009.

An Open Letter To My "Dead" Phone

Dear Nokia 6600...

Where should I begin? How do I begin?

You were about RM600++ when I bought you in 2005. And I wasn't your first owner. I could be the second. Could be the third. And now, no one would ever buy you from me. Not even for RM50.

You took many award-winning photos. Well, okay, the self-admitted award-winning photos.

You are older than four of my five nephews. My first nephew used to throw you down the floor, just like a bowling ball. And yet you were still going strong.

You stood by me while I went from one relationship to another.

You kept on helping me communicate with people, good people and even the jerkiest ones.

You were always attracting my nephews' attention. Had to let them hold you but with your keypad locked though.

You had Pocket Oxford Dictionary installed on you. And that made me love you even more. Recently, I installed the Medical Dictionary on you and it was so much handy for me. You made me proud and also my friends were so jealous of me.

You were the reason why I never went out looking for another phone. Not to mention also because of I had always been out of money.

You made me restless. For the time being, I am more restless. Because I'm so out of money and I have no phone.

I am much much more restless without the Pocket Oxford Dictionary.

And much much much more restless because all my friends' numbers are stored on you. And I can't turn you on at all.


Why did you have to go and make things so complicated?

Can't wait to see this movie!

Bestest Girlfriends Award

I was nominated for this award, and out of nowhere, I won it. Haha. Actually, it was Nadira who gave me this award. I'm soo grateful to accept this award and I'll also have to give this award away to some cool girls below:

• Nadira - We 1st met at a bowling centre in Batu Pahat, Johor, Malaysia. I was with my friend and she was there with her boyfriend, Cecil Visigoth. And no, we didn't click immediately until one day I met her in the university campus (Oh yeah, she was in the same Uni) and I went to stay in her room. She treated me so good, and until now I still don't know why. But anyway, I think she is one of the sweetest person you can ever find in the world. (No, it is not a bodek OK?)
• Eryn - Was my classmates for 1 year and a half in the uni. Also used to be my roommate. I was technically the worst roommate ever, and yet she could hold on. Best friend who would help me anytime, and I still owe her some money right?
  
• My only sister. Sure, we had some ups and downs, but we are sisters no matter what.
  
• My mummy. My loyal chatting partner. My domestic diva. My personal brand of best chef. My everything.
  
• Era - My childhood friend. My playmate. My partner in crime. Long time ago.
• Wanie - My classmates in school. Also used to be my partner in crime. And now, she is counting the days to her wedding, probably on December.
• Sharifah - My protege, starting from 2003 until now. She has such a big respect towards me and would always give me a credit for anything she has done. Now a nursing student in one of hundreds nursing colleges in Malaysia.

Hmm.. I think that's all. See you soon!

Happy 2nd Birthday Baby!

Hello again everybody, today is my nephew's 2nd birthday. His name is El Arshad Mohammed and was born on May 19th, 2007 (of course). Too bad, I won't be around near him today. We are about 284 miles apart (according to Google Earth). Yeah, he is in Kota Bharu while I'm in Kuala Lumpur. But I'm sure will gonna see him later on this end of month.

Latest update from me, I had signed up for a Paypal account. That is because I'm interested in cashing out my EC credits. Haha. Nope. Actually it is for online trade purposes, such as selling or buying online and also for transferring money in case someone is generous enough to give me some money.. LOL. Also, I have activated my Twitter account, so if you ever feel like following me (and my updates), please feel free to do so.

Oh, I feel so lazy to go to classes nowadays! Especially the Environmental Health Legislation class. I have to learn everything about law subject and I feel like a lawyer or Magistrate already! FYI, I'm taking 2 subjects this semester, and the other one is Occupational Safety and Health (OSHA). I love the OSHA subject better... :-)

That's all for the quick update. I wanna wish my darling Arshad a very cheerful Happy Birthday and hope to see him later. Auntie Tiara loves you! xoxo.

Birthday Ramblings

Well, yesterday was 15th of May, my big brother's 23rd birthday. And well, today is 22nd of mine. Normally, people would have something planned on their very Birthday. But not me. LOL.

I'm just gonna lay low at my crib today. That's because I had pretty much enjoyed hanging out with my homegirls at one of the biggest shopping mall in Kuala Lumpur yesterday We went to Midvalley Megamall to watch movies and have some high cholesterol fastfood. But the highlight of the day was playing bowling. I won the game against 3 of my friends. 2 strikes and some spares.. that was quite good I think. And we watched the new movie, Push.

For the record, I have watched about 5 or 6 movies this month alone. Let's see:

1. Paul Blart: The Mall Cop
2. X-Men Origins: Wolverine
3. Push
4. Bohsia: Jangan Pilih Jalan Hitam (Malay movie)
5. Star Trek
6. The Fast and Furious 4

Oh well, I didn't believe I had extra time for those movies. Usually, I would watch either 1 or 2 movies per month. But anyways, who cares?

When I got back home, I found a wedding invitation on the table. That is from an acquitance from college. The wedding is to be held on 4th of June. And then there is more, from my a friend from my former university. And then I also heard one of my schoolmates is getting engaged in the end of the month. Oh seems like everyone's getting hitched. So fast eh? Or is it only me who is lagging behind all of them? 50% positive I think.

But anyways, let's look at the brighter side OK? Haha I will keep telling it to myself. Meanwhile, I have planned to watch these movies in the future. My June to-watch list:

1. 17 Again
2. Transformers: Revenge of The Fallen
3. I Love You..Man
4. what else? Suggestions please.


That's all for today's ramblings. Happy Birthday to myself. Eh, also Happy Teacher's Day to all teachers in the world. Yeah, May 16th is the Malaysian Teacher's Day. :-)

Full Throttle

Look at my broadband connection! So good! Thanks to the new modem. Haha.

Real Saver

This is my new USB broadband modem, got it on Thursday. I found it online and it cost me RM 210. That is quite a bargain for a new unit. I'm so happy with the performance compared to my previous modem. By the way, the previous modem had been sold to a nice lady, also through online for a nice price. I guess it wasn't meant for me :-( ... and I hope the modem will work just fine with the new owner. Funny thing was, I was thinking to increase the price after I watched the lady came to my apartment on a gorgeous Toyota Fortuner. My friends also said so, but I didn't do it.

And now, I just need to think of paying the bills! Oh yes, that is my new Acer Aspire One netbook and also new pink bedsheet! :-)
