Whoa.

I didn't think it would be hard..

OK, here goes.

Thank you guys for all those wonderful 5 years (since 2005) you have been with me through think and thin, through my happy moments, and through my emotional outbursts.

Thank you for the friendships that were form especially during my fangirl crazy years which took us beyond our love interest for our idols.

Thank you for your caring advices, thoughtful opinions, and virtual hugs in time of need and those simple "Hello, I miss you a lot. Please update!".

Thank you for being my listening ear, shoulder to cry on, or probably eyes that read in this matter since we all read not listen to blogs ;)

Thank you for accepting me as who I am and never judging. It helps a lot in building up my character and my self esteem these past years.

Thank you for welcoming me to your 'home' (your respective LJs) so I was able to read those Friends Lock Entries ;) (this is specifically to my LJ darlings - you know who you are!)

Thank you for always being truthful and trusting me in return.

OK, I'm getting quite emotional here..

*breathes*

I apologized for those time when I was gone without a word or missing a few posts or those times when I slack with my commenting. Just so you know, I have always try to catch up again ;)

Thank you for being You.

Thank you for reading.

Until we meet again!

Loads of love and gratitude;

*blows dust off LJ*

*coughs*

It has been a while, hasn't it? I am very much alive, however, not so fit because I've been slacking with my morning jogs/runs.

I feel so shabby and... bleerrghhh.

HAH..

My hormones are acting up and the need to feel assured is overwhelming right now. I don't like it at all.

Thank god for friends who just know how and what to say to you at this moment of need and a good smack in the face (literally if not physically) doesn't kill anyone once in awhile. If you have this kind of friends to turn to, you definitely want to keep them.

Isn't it so fitting? After so long without words, I come back with an emotional entry. YAY ME!

OK OK, lets see..

1) I was happily (Yes!) busying myself with work during the summer break (south hemisphere summer time). I worked as a waitress and later a barista at a cafe near my house and gotten myself new friends (fun and loving ones) whom I'm missing very much right now. OH yes, since summers over, I resigned (the word quit is so not appealing!) and I'm back to jobless-me and I'm bored outta my wits right now (for the past months, I usually spent my weekend at work). I learned a lot from work.. I'd list some of them in a different post, later, if I remember. Overall, I enjoyed working. I did. (:

2) My birthday was.. just nice (: Haha.. okaaaay. apart from the annoying crowded shopping malls (I was in Cineleisure and then One Utama) which stopped my sisters and I from having a girls-day-out and to watch Alice in Wonderland 3D of course! Movie marathon (sort of) with the sisters & the mom at home instead. Birthday dinner with the family at Tony Roma's (everyone was overwhelmed by the amount served at Tony Roma's) later that night. (Approximately one hour) Early Birthday Surprise from the Doctor and the Chemical Engineer (thanks for coming you two! *hugs*). Surprise Birthday Calls from overseas, made possible by technology! Woooot! ...and abundance of Birthday Kisses (albeit via text) the whole day *sheepish smile*. Also all the well wishes I received the whole day (;

3) I think I am finally moving from LJ. I've talked about it for a few times already in past posts but I didn't get round to it. Now, its time. I'm definitely not going to delete this account because I'll update here once in awhile (or I might copy & paste). I know I'll eventually come back here but right now, I need to go. I'll let you know in a different post where I'm going, OK? If after this you find yourself not informed, that just means I don't want to (haters to the left, left!) ;)

I still have hopes for March.

I am not giving up just yet.

Just so you know (;

Lets evaluate this random quiz I took on FB because I have assignments due and I can't really concentrate now, especially with this mental block.

grrr.

anyway -

What Does Your Birth Date Mean?

Born on the 14th

You are born to be a leader.
err...hmm..really? probably this is because I am the eldest?

You are cool in difficult situations and inspire others in times of crisis.
hahaha! I'm pretty sure someone would love to disagree

You love traveling.
OH YES!

You like to dress in sync with the latest fashion trends.
Yes, I love fashion trends but I only opt those that suits me

You love to be pampered by your loved one.
Yes. Guilty as charged..

You prefer to be in a serious relationship.
Yes. Doesn't everyone?

You are faithful to your family.
Definite YES


OK, truthfully, I'm trying not to over think some stuff. That's why the mental block and this *points quiz above* distraction. OH dear Brain, please don't go on over drive. Stay focus on assignment.

Focus-lah Namieeeeeeeee! Focus on your assignment pleeeaaasssseeee!

Aih.

Kenapa rindu sangat ni?

We were talking about marriage. I love how randomly we come to random topics.

You: eh, wait. when?
Me: I guess by 30?
You: WHAT? really? I thought all girls want to get married early.
Me: It depends..
You: on what?
Me: current happenings, I guess. 5 years ago I might have answered differently..
You: oh? If I go back in time to 5 years ago, and ask you this, would you get married at 25?
Me: errr..why is this a problem again?
You: I want to get married at 25.
Me: Good for you lah.
You: but you, 30? it doesnt coincide!

You put a smile on my face, everyday.

You know, I wake up early almost everyday since the holiday started so I can get back to my jogs. I want to make it a habit, a routine that I do not miss. Like how the Dad never miss his jogging time (OK, maybe occasionally, but he will try not too..)

but WHY am I so laaazzzyyyy laaahhhhhh?

its really annoying and frustrating.

I love my morning jogs, I do, I do. But I guess its not enough to keep my drive. pfft.

C'mon, bitch. Give it a fight you lazy bum!

You know what else is annoying and frustrating? The construction thats going on at the back of my house. It rains particles/dust everyday! no kidding. the noise, the house-shaking/rumbling! *pulls hair* Yes I will be complaining about this until they finish. The residence actually did try to stop it but I dunno..

On a random note, the Chemist personally told me she prefers to be nicknamed the future drug dealer. hmmm.. if this changes, take note that the Chemist = the Drug Dealer. Anyone else wants to change their nickname too?

ANYWAY, if you're reading this, I'll reply to your fb message soon OK. Your last fb message requires me to have the right mood to reply. Haha. You know I prefer telling you face-to-face, coz it makes the explaining bit easier. So, you wait for a bit. In the mean time, GO STUDYLAH! Good luck, love!

the Sisters are both away again. The house is so quiet (albeit the noise from the construction site!). Missing them terribly last night. :( I can't wait for 9th July till the youngest comes home again.

I really need to:
1) sort out Leo
2) sort out my wardrobe (AGAIN?! pfft!)
3) scan the latest pictures from Carl
4) stay away from Phillip. He'll understand

p/s: oh Girlfriend (the one in the relationship with me, yes YOU!), if you're reading this, I miss you quite terribly too.

So, we were having dinner and we were having the usual family conversation. You could say that it is the usual catching up session for my family and I because apart from our lepak/TV time, only during eating/dining time that everyone is at one place - the dining area.

the Sister was telling some stories about her friend and some girl that is giving her unnecessary hard time just because the girl's insecure and pathetic (OK OK, exaggeration here, just because I can! hehe), and the Dad totally said --

Dad: You know, you should tell that girl -- Why are you so busy body? I'll TWEET YOU!!!

the Dad is totally adorable when he catches up with the latest internet jargon/slang/gibberish.

One of those things I love to hate/hate to love about the Dad.

On a random note, there is a plan to fetch the Sister from Sri Iskandar then kidnap the youngest Sister from Langkawi, in time to watch the latest Harry Potter movie. Hmmm...

1) I sayang my two sparstics. A LOT.

2) Had an awesome day; loads of laugh

3) I don't want July to come. SO. BADLY.

4) There will be too many goodbyes to bid. I am not ready at all.

5) B I T C H -- I'll stick to this. Thanks :D heeeeee

6) I like how you say "Good Morning, Namie!" Ah, I miss you

7) WHY! I asked this before but I want to ask it again; WHY!

8) I want a pair of twins too!

9) I really love the feeling when I am away.

10) OK, I want to cry now.

These will not make sense until I decide to make sense out of it.

Oh darling baby dear, I SAYANG YOU LAH!

♥

So, a few days back, at the computer lab, while browsing thru facebook, upon looking at the birthday reminder, Rose exclaimed saying:

"Eh your Friday birthday this sister!?"

which basically translates to "Eh your sister's birthday this Friday?"

The whole lab erupted with our laughter taken into account at how quiet the lab was that day due to exams (meaning less students hang around campus if they do not have any exam, plus people studies in the library anyway)

Today, while watching some youtube videos (the word "prank" conjured up so many video I tell you) to subside the throbbing headache after reading thru some notes for Friday's paper (haha exaggeration here, can you sense it?) I was exchanging text messages with Jamie's Girl.

Her: Hey tink il cm c ecah tmr. I gtg sch to settle sm stuff oso anw. Wat time to mt u?
Me: She arivg at 10. C me at uni at, hm, 930?
Her: Yar ok sounds gd. Btw u noe wat time bank buka x?
Me: Hm. 830 dah rasanya.
Her: Ok shud b fine. Cya tmr den.
Me: Thx coming tau along babe.
Her: Ok u shud re read wat u sent me haha. Bt yes, ur welcm. Thx 4 the invite oso.
Me: Hahahaha this so goin on my blog omg

So yar.

Moral of the story is, do not make fun of your friend.

An attempt to spend quality time with the Chemical Engineer and the Doctor yesterday, didn't turn out quite how I expected. Someone fail to wake up and meet the Doctor and I at our jogging rendezvous. LOL APAAAA DAAAAA!

Despite the haze, there were quite a number of joggers/walkers/tai chi-ers? at the lake yesterday morning. I guess, some people will stop at nothing to do what they love. awesome dedicated people they are.

I haven't had my morning jogs for a few days now (read: lazy bitch), so completing yesterday's rounds was..*sigh* uplifting (:

Carl got to see the lake, and the Doctor again. I was quite excited, hoping all pictures will developed well. I wanted Carl to take more pictures of the Chemical Engineer but alas -- another time please? YOU owe us lunch/dinner now!

This morning, just around our neighbourhood, the Doctor and I completed another set of rounds -- OK sort of! By the time we wanted to do the second half of the targeted rounds, we we're quite exhausted. heeeeh! So we finished it off by brisk walking all the way home.

Since it rained yesterday, the air is much more cleaner and the sky clearer today. Alhamdulillah! The haze is really taking its toll over the city again. It creeps slowly but surely and before you know it, TADAAA the whole city is full of it! MORE RAIN PLEASE! THANKS!

oh and yes! On Friday I finally FINALLY cut the black locks and WOHOO I LOVE MY NEW HAIRDO! Love it love it looooove it! Received thumbs up from the hairdresser too! Of coz, I should mention here that it was the Sister who went online to search for the style sample, print it, and recommended the do to me. So -- THANK YOU SIS!

It is one of Corinne Bailey Rae's hairdo but with less curls. If I were to style it a little, its almost like one of Julie Andrews' hairdo. SO YES HONEY, I got my bangs!

Oh dear. I can already imagine the Sister screaming "PERASAAAN" all the way from her room. LOL

Ohhhh well, Its my new do and I LOVE IT.

Speaking of the Sister, the youngest Sister is now back in Langkawi. It sucks that the school holidays ending :( However, it'll be a few more weeks till the noisy brat comes back home again!! (:

On a totally random note, the Doctor and I talked about visiting our dear Interior Designer. The Doctor seems very keen about it and I am too, of coz. Just hope that all our holidays coincide. PLEASE!

and on a different note, I received updates-email from the Chemist thats currently in Scotland. FINALLY! I miss that woman terribly and I'm quite happy to finally know that she now has a permanent internet connection. All I have to do is to configure the different time zone. hmmmm...

Alrightey! I'm off to bake some muffins before I continue the irksome mugging. ughhh damn you finals!
