Aahh.. It's Sunday..

I can't believe it's already Sunday. The next thing I know it's December! And it's time to go back to Brunei! Yayy!! ..with success and satisfaction. Amin Amin. I was reading BruneiResources every now and then.. gosh, makes me miss Brunei brabis *sighh* With the International Tattoo and Perayaan and umm.. macam-macam lagi lah. Krg sudah urang di Brunei, mana ada papa tu! Hmph. Kensel excitment kan balik Brunei. Refund! (saja bah. Being dramatic. huhu ;p)

I must say I had a great weekend. Surprisingly, I spent most of my time at home! Yesterday I went out to Runcorn to get some daging. Me and Mirul go crazy brabis. We bought 2kgs of chicken breast, 2kgs of minced meat, 4 chicken pies, a kilo of mexican sausages umm, apa lagi ahh.. salami... Pokoknya we went crazy! The reason being: kami malas kan ke sana lagi til next 2 months. (If possible. hehe ;p) I was really edgy yesterday sampai malas kan ambil bus from Runcorn so we decided to take the cab. I tried calling the Yellow Cab tapi palui! Membari menyumpah! My patience was really being tested and I failed! I couldn't stop swearing (not the hardcore ones though) Inda mau get thru bah. Suruhnya hold and I waited more than a good 7 mins of my life tapi nda jua kana jawap. Sayang jua credit tu! Then we saw a cab from afar so I hailed sekalinya URANG LAIN punya. Hmph. So I quickly took the number and called! Baik jua ada. And it paid off brabis pasalnya the taxi driver was sooo MANIS!! Urang GREEK! Manis brabis. Tapi matanya ampir but lawaa! Don't get me started with his lips, nose, hair.. sighhh. Jangan tah k. Pokoknya MANIS!! Spent the whole journey talking with him (cos he was one of the friendly taxi drivers) and my edgy-ness?? ALL GONE!! Thanks Mr-Manis-Greek-with-nice-eyes-but-ampir-guy. Hehe ;)

Then we went groceries. Don't get me started with our shopping list. Hehe. And I found a place that sell Chinese Pancakes!! I had them yesterday, the Custard fillings of course and I had them AGAIN this morning. I was soooo looking forward to them. Iatah bangun pukul 9.30am tadi pagi atu! Hehe. Tepaksa sacrifice my weekends' sleep-ins 'cos they only sell them during the weekends.

I spent the rest of my Saturday cooking and treating myself with a good meal. Hmmm.. I can't really recall what I did later in the evening. Lazing kali. Huhu ;p

As for this morning, I went to get myself the Chinese Pancakes (as I mentioned earlier). This time I tried the ones with chocolate fillings. It's wasn't that bad. Sorry, Custard for being curang. Hehe. After that I walked around Sunnybank Plaza, experiencing myself to the busy-ness of the place during a Sunday morning. There were lots of Asians. Especially Chinese. Kalau meliat urang putih pulang musykil rasanya. Hehe. And I never saw that much children running around the plaza. Banyak brabis ani wahhh.. Hmph. Maybe 3-5 years ago was the Baby Booms' year! Hehe. What you reckon? Huhu ;p

Later in the evening I went to catch You, Me and Dupree at AMC. Australian Maths Competetion wahh!! Huhu. I think it was Sunnybank's Australian Multiplex Cinema. It was a good movie. Cali pun! I love it. Even Mirul likes it. Owen Wilson was so funny in that movie and Kate Hudson.. WOW!! Lawa badannya tu! Anyhow, my bed needs me now. Since LOTR: Return of the King is playing on TV, I might as well watch it and hopefully it'll put me to sleep. Need to go early to uni tomorrow.

Have a good week everyone ;)

Tiredddd~~~ and a day with my PT ;)

PART I

Oh God, please take this tiredness away from me.

I'm mentally tired and my eyes ngalih pun.

I've been doing my research for 3 hours now.

What have I achieved?

Not satisfying enough to even discuss in this blog. Hmph.

I shall continue again later with the research.

Meanwhile, I'm gonna surf and get back to blogging karang malam. Huhu.


PART II

WOWW~~ I have to admit I had a geeerraaaaatttteee day. It turned out to be that my reserach was good. I'm glad that I answered my supervisor's questions efficiently. I can't help but be proud of myself. Hehe. Siapa lagi kan mun inda myself!! Huhu.

The PT session was goody goody as well. Finally I'm on the different coloured bar. (We've been aiming for that eversince and I'm glad I made it to that point). Gilaaa abis ni karang be-mus-cle ;p Nauzubillah. And I still can hear my PT's voice every now and then like "Jeez, MaRha" or "Tummy in, back stRaight, shouldeRs back" or "okay nalang, now we'Re gonna do the squats" Haha. Yup yup! Get the picture! She's a Philipna. She's 48-year old but she doesn't look like her years. Badannya kecil and she only weighs 49kg!! Hmph. She lost 19kg before she became a Personal Trainer. Mannn.. And she's very very nice. Very motivating pun. No doubt about that. And not to mention friendly. Pokoknya I'm happy that she's my PT. I used to underestimate her but hmph.. neck time jgn tah underestimate someone k ;) After my PT session, I went for the Combat class. It wasn't as tough as before cos the instructor changed the routine. It was the old one. As in OLD brabis. Even before I joined the gym. But none of us liked it at the end of the class. Inda brapa hardcore. So hopefully, the next class'll be the same routine as before. After combat, my PT treated me for sushi at Sushi Station. It was so good. I had Miso soup with lots of seaweed. Nyamannn~~ It was soo good. We talked a lot throughout the dinner and she gave me tips on losing weight and how to toned-up. Looks like she really is gonna take care of me huh? Hehe. I like!! And apa nahh?!! She's my neighbour!!! Ampir banar rumahnya. Just a min away from my house!! Hehe. I'm sooo loving it.

I'm gonna do my work dulu. Need to work on it plus I need to order some chemicals pun. Hmph.

Hellliuewwwww~~~

Lama sudah inda menaip arah blog ani. Sorry people, been busy with other commitments. Banar tah. I've been busy running errands since the starting of the semester. (It's only Wednesday kali ah. Kemarin jua baru start uni. Huhu ;p)

Last Friday I was doing some journal readings on some protocol for my experiments. And then.. apa nah?!! I discussed it with my supervisor and he said that he wanted me to do some research on other stuff. Hmph. Kusut ehh. But I was glad to finally talk to him. Happened to be that he's still sick. Kesiann kesiannn... And I'm quite happy that he was giving me some motivations towards my project. Syukur tah. Lama sudah ia inda cematu.

Last night I had a big meal. Katat parut ulihnya but I was satisfied. It's been a while that I spoiled myself. I remember the last time was when I had a slice of GLORIA JEAN's CHUNKY CHOCOLATE CHEESECAKE all to myself. Hehe. Guilty? Why should I? Sibuk kueee~~ ;p

I heard about the shocking-tragic news pasal Hani Mohsin passed away. Innalillah. May he rest in peace. Al-Fatihah. I used to love his attractive smile because of his cheekbones. Sigh. And I heard that they're going to undergo an autopsy on him. I say "NO NO NO!!" to that. Kesian, siksa soulnya. I know his death was so sudden and they wanted to investigate the cause(s) but hmphh.. sian soul nya eh. I really hope they'll reconsider and I hope his family won't sign the consent document. I mean he's in good hands now, what more can be done..

Anyway, I'm being fickle now. I don't know if I should go to the seminar later at 12pm. It's about "Genetics of serrated neoplasia in human colon". I know oncology isn't my field but hmph.. should I? 1 hour left to decide. *thinking deeply* Maybe I should. Ertinya, misti tah beranti blogging ni. Need to get some work done by then.

20th July, a date NOT to remember...

Sorry guys, if ur birthday's today. I just had a rough day. To be honest, it was a mix of everything. Woke up at 8am this morning with an awful dream stuck in my head. It was really bad. It's still stuck in my head sampai ani! What did I do to deserve that dream kan? If only I woke up at 7.30am, I won't feel this bad. And I think my PMS-hormone is doing a good job today. I'm so sensitive. Hmphh. No gud ehh :s I'm praying, wishing, hoping that I'll have a good dream tonight and I should be filling my thoughts with all the positive stuff. Hmphh. I remember last night, I was thinking too much and fell asleep. Pasal atu kali ada bad dream. Oh well.. mudahan saja krg malam bisai dream nya. Amin Amin.

Anyway, I went to the gym at 9am and worked-out till 10.30am. It was a good one. Good workout. And then I headed home. Got ready. Ke city. Then took a cab to Milton pasal ada appoinment di sana. And then headed back to the city and had sushi at Sushi Station! This time the crab salad ship sushi was soooo nyaman. Pasalnya ia simpan bawang and pepper and extra mayonnaise *slurrrrppp* Nyamannnn brabisssss~~ I had 2 plates of that. It was sooo nyaman lahh. Even the tuna salad ship ada bawang. Onion to be precise. It was good lah. I reckon it's "HARI BAWANG (ONION) SEDUNIA". Huhu ;p I know some of you inda suka bawang. Screw you!! ;p In a way, nyaman jua bah. Kalau di simpan at the right makanan and lagi nyaman kalau ya blend in *sia sia pun* And oh, you know what's the best of the best.. BAWANG GORENG!! Nyummm.. It's good with fried rice and segala jenis makanan pun.

Oh yeah, I had Starbucks tadi di city and this is one of the reasons why 20th July 2006 wasn't a good day for me. I ordered Caramel Hot Chocolate (sajuk bah. Iatah minum, minuman panas) and the guy accidently gave me a coffee-based drink with caramel. I don't know what it's called. Barangkali Caramel Ma-chi-atu kali. *Ma-chi mana? Ma-chi-atu bah* huhu ;p So, I told them and got it exchanged pasalnya I didn't wanna go for any coffee-based drink, takut migraine bah. And then, it happened to be that they didn't put any caramel. I wasn't happy, of course. (Yup, I'm fussy when it comes to food. Not food lah. The service in particular) I almost gave up but baik jua betukar. So, there you go.. CARAMEL HOT CHOCOLATE.. finally! As I was sipping through my drink, I realised macam ringgan and something missing arah my tangan. Then I realised that I lost my bangle!!! Hmphh. It's lost! It's not coming back. It's lost.. FOREVER!! :s Sabar saja. I might dropped it in the bus or in the cab or even in the train. I wanted to dulur my napsu tadi. Sikit lagi kan ke Elizabeth Arcade and get a new one, but I was thinking, biar tia ehh. Sabar saja for the time being. Hmphh. See.. I had a rough day. And I can't believe that it's still 7.34pm. What's gonna happen later???? Hmphh. Ertinya baik tah meliat DVD jawapannya. Bah, later then.. Eh kajap. I almost forgot. I had a chat this morning with Tony, the hairdresser on my way back home. Rupanya ia atu becarai. So ia tinggal sorang masa ani. He's a very good man I reckon. Italian lagi tu. I reckon, masa ya muda, MANIS!! Haha. And he offered me a ride to the coast one day (inda tau napa)! Woohoooooo!! Gold Coast, Babyyy!! Here I come!! Hmmm.. maybe Tony likes me. Haha. Have a HART!!

Stressed-out

Semester two is just around the corner. I know it won't have any effect on me anyway but still... Hmph. Time flies so fast and it scares me out. Am I the only one? I'm halfway through my 'kejujuran' and there's still a lot of things that I need to do. Kongfirm tah ni tidur di uni starting from neck week. Hmph. *breathe in* *breathe out* "Take it easy, Marha! Everything's gonna be alright, Marha!" This is the time that I need moral support from my family. I need my mum to push me a lil bit (but I don't need my supervisor to push me. Huhu). I need my mum here I guess. Hmph. I miss her. I miss everyone. Tried calling home tapi fax yang jawap. My mum's fone was unreachable. Called my dad inda bejawap jua. Logged in into MSN, Knah wasn't there anymore. Where are they? :(

Okay, so I figured. I need a plan for my thesis. Need to start on my 'Materials & Methods'. I'll try my best to do that this week. Ertinya, I have to do more journals readings. *close eyes* Sabar saja. I think my panic button te-switch on tadi. And my stress hormone's at its peak. Good thing I've got gym later. De-stressing is what I need.

I'll try to post a more-rational-Marha later, kayyy?? Pray for me people :)

City of justice, city of love~~ Huhu ;p

What I'm thinking right now? Reruns of City of Angels movie. Basically the scene where Seth Plate emphasised "ONE". You know, that scene. Hmpphh. (Just look at the picture, k.) Kesian brabiss expressionnya ahh. That face has been playing in my mind. Balik2 lagi tu :s I watched the movie last night for the FIRST TIME. Uhuh! FIRST TIME, Babyyy!! I'd always wanted to watch it but FINALLY I spared a time last night for it since my mind was set on it..I guess. Huhu. It was worth watching. I mean, I love the soundtrack and I still listen to it (almost everyday). Sigh... And ada bits and pieces of Grey's Anantomy pun! At a moment there, I thought I was watching the Season Two. Huhu *lembap* ;p

Anyway, enough of that. Huhu. I was planning to watch Kill Bill 2 tonight but I think I might give myself a rest from any movies but again this may change, depends on my gatal mood. Huhu. I might hit the sack a bit earlier pasal esuk I HAVE to go to uni AWAL!! Plus I'm so tired from boxing class. I did have a good workout with the fact that my partner was good and the instructor was really eyeing on each and everyone of us. I needed to sweat 'cos I'm having a bit of a flu. I don't wanna be a sick dog at this time. Ramai urang bedamaman masa ani. I don't know why. I reckon it's the weather. Pagi2 panas, but malam sajuk brabis. Kongfius body system ulihnya.

Oh, it's Lamboi's birthday today! I gave him a call earlier but I caught him at a bad time, so skajap saja kami cakap. But I was glad that I greeted him. Masa ani malas kan memsg. Lambat sampai bah. So I might as well, telipun saja. Plus double the satisfaction. Happy Birthday again, Lamboi! I hope you enjoyed the dinner and the movie. Have a good one on your special day, yea? *hugs* (Lama udah ni gambar ah. Huhu ;p)

I just remembered. I was really shocked when my sister texted me last night pasal Siti Nurhaliza kan kawin sama Datuk! Selajur jadi IBU pun! I really don't know how to react. Banyak urang inda puas ati. Sama ramai mau ia end up sama DR Fazley! Oh well, who are we to plan this and that, judge this and that, say this and that dan sebagainya this and that. Huhu ;p

Anyway people, macam pukul satu pagi sudah rasanya. My body's aching, my oxygen level is getting low. Inda beranti yawning saja *yawwwwwwnnnnnnnnnnn* I think the bed's calling. Eh salah, I need my bed now ;p Tomorrow's gonna be a long day I guess. Plus I'm gonna have a PT session. So, I might need all the energy in the world. Huhu. Nitey nite ;)

Sunday? Monday? Po-tay-to, Po-tar-to!!

Hello people...

I'm still suffering from muscles inflammatory (on my shoulders, my back, my biceps, my chest, my butts, my thighs.. pokoknya almost every single muscles) due to overexertion of lactic acid that had been build up from yesterday's BodyPump class. Fitness experts say that it's a signal that the body needs rest! No way, mannnn!! My body's been resting for a month plus now. The muscles deserve to be sore and inflammed! Siapa tah nyuruh slacking! Hmpphh. Oh well, I guess it's back to square one now, huh? I hope getting myself a PT will help me keep in track.

The BodyPump class was fun fun. Though it was a torture but I had a good time. And I had BoxClass the night before and gosh, my partner was *blurrghhh*! She wasn't focus, she laughed a lot (pasal caranya punching, memigang focus pad & sebagainya SALAH!! Atu pun ya kan ketawa??!!), she cheated (as in she didn't do some of the routines, therefore, I was affected as well)!! Hmpphhh!! Membari KUSUT jua tuuuuuuu!!! Aaarrgghhhh!! Throughout the one-hour of supposedly-burning-calories-got-my-heart-rate-pumping-brabis, I ended up being a PT! Sort of. WHY? Because I had to teach her the correct way of punching, holding the focus pad, cara standing, bla bla bla.. Arrghhh.. If I didn't do that, she would have injured herself. Kan kan?!!

*mental mode switched off* ;p

Anyway, I had homemade Pad Thai just now. Me and Mirul had to search high and low for the crushed peanuts. Apparently, it was sold out di Kadai Cina siring Coles ahh. So we went to Market Square. Pun NADA!! I even asked for it, but NADA. So, I just bought the roasted and salted peanuts. Yang insulted nada! Hehe. UNSALTED bahh ;p Baik jua si Mirul nulung meng-crush kan! Menjadi jua Pad Thai atu! Nyum nyummm.. It was soo good 'cos I've got all the ingredients. The best part was of course the crushed peanuts and the corriander. Sia sia pun~~ Esuk saja makan lagi. At least one item is off the craving-list. Huhu.

Oh, did I tell you that I've got my Italian jersey numbered??!! Uhuh!! Be-numbur udahh! I'm sooo loving it! :D But I can't wear it here. Takut kana bukut Aussies pasalnya Aussie lost to the Italian, lagipun goalnya main buyuk jua kan. So I wouldn't wanna take the risk. Plus pkai tudung pun! Brabis tia krg kana bukut. NAUZUBILLAH.

Ok then. I better off now. I need to watch a DVD before I sleep. Tommorrow's Monday. So not looking forward to it. I don't like Sundays and Mondays :s ~I can't wait for the weekend to begin~ Huhu. Nitey nite beautiful people.

"MatahariTebing" huhuhu ;p

Matahari Tebing = Sunnybank ;p

Yup, that's where I live. I enjoy living in this suburb. Banyak cha-ya-nun-alip pulang but I think I'm used to it, with the fact that I'm from Griffith Uni. Di GU banyak Asians pun, so I reckon I'm used to it ;)

Okay, it's been almost 5 months that I've been breathing the Sunnybank air. To be honest, I really like it here. I like it better here than where I used to live. (FYI: I'm an ex-Emeralds). Why I like it here?

(1) Across the street, there's this friendly Italian hairdresser, Toni, who never fails to say 'Hi' to me everytime I pass by (except during the weekends. Tutup ya)

(2) Three minutes away from my house, KFC ha-lam-alip-lam!! Towards the end of the semester, the good news reached me. So, I did my part to confirm it by asking one of the workers there. Alhamdulillah. It is HALAL!

(3) Three minutes away from my house, the BUS STOP!! Going to: CITY and TRAIN STATION. Enough said!

(4) Three and a half minutes away, FERNWOOD. "There's only one name that I trust: FERNWOOD!!" Haha. The slogan that Me and Mammat created before. So if I feel like working out, I can do it at the last minute. Good timing to be fickle! Hehe ;p What I like about Fernwood is, it's a Women's fitness club. Ertinya, inda bulih laki-laki masuk ke sana. And most of the Arab women go there to workout. It's the time where they reveal themselves. No veil. No jubah. Lawa2 danggggg~~~

(5) Kalau teseliur kan egg tart (nyumm), it's just 3 mins walk away from my house. Kalau di Brunei tepaksa mengorder lagi or tepaksa bekerita membali di Mum's (ada bejual di Mum's kan? hehe). Atau, tepaksa menunggu urang baca doa or panggilan kalau kan makan egg tart ani. Kan kan kann? Not to mention custard bun! Sia sia pun. As a matter of fact, I had it yesterday. Nyamannnn chengg~~

(6) Do you know the custard puff di Mum's?? Iatah di Sunny-beng ada pun! So, once again, kalau teseliur, ke Market Square saja. No no no, the custard puff inda SQUARE shapenya. Masih lagi bulat, ok? Huhuhu ;p SAME pun rasanya!

(7) (This point may be useful for uni students yang malas kan membali textbook original yg beratus ratus harganya) Okay, di Market Square ada tampat memfotocopy buku. As in the whole book. I think it's illegal. Pasalnya di negri ani inda bulih practise such thing. Mun inda, kana fine! Something to do with copyright control atau sebagainya. I don't know. But who cares kan?! Asalkan murah! Sep kos! Huhuhu ;p (I never done it, kayyy~~ Don't even think about it. I always buy the original ones. Promiseee!!)

I think that's all I could think of. I'll add up if I come out with something. I'm not trying to promote Sunnybeng, ok? I'm just trying to open people's view about this place 'cos I know it's not that familiar to some of the Brunei students here in Brisbane ;)

The truth about rabbits ;p

Just a few weeks ago or maybe a month plus, my sister, K-nah, was given a pair of bunnies. We've been dying for bunnies all this while and at last our prayers had been answered. I really can't wait to see them. I always had this passion for rabbits ever since I was little. I prefer bunnies than teddy bears. Pet-wise, I prefer rabbits than cats. We used to have rabbits before when I was around 8 years old but selalu mati, heart-attack kana kajuti kuyuk. The dogs barked at them, pasal atu the rabbits kebeliangan. Plus I had a good collection of bunny rabbits (anak patung) when I was younger and this passion for rabbits made me love eating carrots! (But not as much as I love mushrooms. Huhuhu ;p)

Recently, I had a conversation with K-nah on MSN.

Me: Knah behapa?
Knah: Knah cari pagar utk rabbit
Me: Aahh.. brapa ikung kan arnab tani ani?
Knah: dua ikung
Me: apa jantina nya?
Knah: F n M
Me: aii, bisai tu. suruh durang becinta. ramai jua arnab ketani!
Me: liatkan drg Romeo & Juliet supaya drg dapat make love while watching it
Knah: hehe
Knah: balum lagi baligh nya bapa
Me: *LOL* hahahaha

Ada-ada saja kan my dad atu. Binatang pun kan di consider barang cematu. Baligh plissss!! Hahaha.. I just couldn't stop laughing. Huhuhu ;p

No pain.. but am i gaining?

Woke up at 9.35am. Wasn't planning to wake up that early but oh well.. Worse thing is I woke up with sores! Sores of the day: ABT, chest, calves.. pokoknya almost everything. I feel like soaking myself with bath salts. Hmpphh. I can't stretch, I can't laugh, I can't really walk *sighhh* I had a PT (personal trainer BUKAN pregnancy test) session yesterday and mannn, she was really pushing me.. which was good. Again I'm very dissapointed with my triceps muscles. I couldn't do the triceps push-ups on the floor. Paksa pakai dinding. Hahaha! That explains the extra-lamak-dangly-thing yang hanging (if i shake my arms sideways. Huhuhu.. Whoopppsss, overshare! ;p) Anyway, I'm planning to go for the BodyPump class later supaya sakit and sore lagi the muscles! Feitsh kaliahh ;p And oh, did I mention that my PT is Philipino?!! Yup yup!! She's Filipina. Confirm! 10 weeks after this, I'll know a lot of Taglog (not to mention with the help of Missy Mea).

I had AF marathon last night since I was really tired. I like Velvet, Farhan, Faizal and MAYBE Lotter pasal ya cali! Haha. Macam Yassin Senario usulnya sama ya kecil pun! Overall, I'm satisfied that this AF4 isn't as predictable as the last one. And I can't believe it's already halfway through. Hmmm... I reckon time flies fast these days, pkai speed 5 krita manual! Or maybe pakai NOS (yang macam Fast&Furious bah) ;p

Anyway, today's Nana's Birthday so.. HAPPY BIRTHDAY, NAAAA!! ;) Last year tani celebrate di LeTaj, so what's your plan this year? Hmpphh, I wish I was there to celebrate it with you *sighhh* Oh well, have a good one, take lotsa pictures dan sebagainya! *hugs*

No more...

No more:

(1) staying up late watching urang menandang BULA, menguyung BULA, menanduk BULA, bekelaikan BULA, anything that's related to BULA till the next 4 years!

(2) going through soccernet.com, fifaworldcup.yahoo.com dan laman web FIFA WORLDCUP yang lain

(3) worldcup jerseys, football boots (not to mention the special offered ones; my so-called 'country-boots'), worldcup accessories, etc on sale. Again we have to wait for the next 4 years. Though I noticed that some of the worldcup jerseys' price had gone down. It's a good deal kan! So kepada sesiapa yang AWAL membali atu, jangan tah mental. Sabar saja.. It's worth it! And I'm gonna get my jersey numbered later! YAYYY! *excited*

(4) MOST IMPORTANTLY, no more good-looking guys watching! Hmpphhh.. Lagi tia membari kusut.

But...

All in all.. I'm soo happy. The Italians got their hands, lips, etc on the WORLD CUP PIALA PUSINGAN. Huhu ;p

The Baby Girl

"Hi. I'm Ridha juniour. My parents haven't name me yet so just call me 'The Baby', which ever that suits me. My first oxygen consumption was on the 8th of July 2006 at 4.06am which I think was the perfect time for me to enter the real world. I was expected on the 15th of July but I got sick of the amniotic fluid and I was too eager to see my parents and my sister and everyone. Plus, I wanted to prove that the doctor's prediction was wrong. Sorry Doc, my intention was actually clean. Hehe. Thanks for delivering me anyway ;) I weighed 3.95kg which everyone thinks that I'm heavy for a baby girl. But who cares, I'm happy that I'm healthy. Alhamdulillah. I have similar features as my 2-year-old sister and I'm quite happy with that fact since I think she's adorable and manis to my perspective (though my sights are still blurry but trust me, I can tell that she's pretty). So I don't really mind sharing the same gene as hers. Hehe. Anyway, I'm tired and I think I'm off to Lala Land soon. Oh, I'll be 1-day-old soon and I can't wait to see more visitors coming in tomorrow. Night night beautiful people."

Knah&Me Jr.

I woke up this morning to a fone call. A good one from my brother, I should say.

Me: Hello (suara bekerupuk masih)
Abang: Hello, Lai. Assalammualaikum.
Me: *thinking: awal jua bapa melipun ani*
Abang: Ka Irlen selamat udah melahirkan baby girl tadi subuh pukul ampat anam minit. Usulnya macam Ridha.
Me : *thinking: Abang rupanya* *wide awake with a smile on my face* Alhamdulillah. Hehe. Macam Ridha wah? Same brabis?
Abang: Awu. Pipinya sama, bibirnya teturun jua. Sama macam Ridha baru lahir ah.
Me: Hehe. Iakan? Ridha junior tu eh.
Abang: Awu. Iatah sama, Lai. Krg tah ngantar gambarnya.
Me: Ok. Belakangnya bebulu jua? Hehe.
Abang: Antah ah. Alum pulang mencheck. Hehe.
Me: Ridha dulu bebulu kan blakangnya masa ya lahir. Mana tau sama jua. Mana Ridha?
Abang: Ia on the way udah, kan meliat TWIN nya ni.
Me: Kiut tu ehhh *another thought: Can't believe Ridha is a KAKA now. Kiut ehhh*

Imagine durang main sama-sama. And kalau Hari Raya, they'll be wearing the same-matching bajus and bags. Hey, they're gonna be like KNAH and ME! Hehe.

I know it's still early to post something. But I'm just happy to share the good news. Karang tah lagi ahh.

Go Italians ;)

2 more days to the end of FIFA. Hmphh. To be honest I didn't get enough of the matches. Lain kali buat di Japan or Korea saja, k. Inda payah set alarm or bejaga or sebagainya. Oh well, I'm just excited to watch the last 2 matches. (Antah tebangun kah inda. Wallahwa'lam). And I finally get hold of the ITALY baju bula that I've been thinking for the last 48 hours. Huhu. Happy. Happy. Happy. I even thought of numbering it. But jangan tah ga-ta-lam, k. Maybe I'll consider the good thoughts. Pasalnya I have a feeling that the numbers are in gold. Kan kan?? Hmphhh. Kusut eh. Now I'm really thinking about it. Cana ni?

I went to the city earlier and my gosh, SALE every-single-where! But I'm happy, I lay-by-ed something that I'm sure I'll be proud of. Huhu. Good thing I was there for only a few hours and managed to cuci-mata on some shoes-that-I-almost-lay-by-but-nada-size-Thank-Goodness-but-kusut-jua-cos-lawa-brabis-and-sale-pun! *taking a deep breath* Oh well, sep jua duit. I was being a good girl for not staying that long in the city. So I headed back home and set my mode to 'memburuk' instead. I was suppose to do some readings on the protocol that I've got from UQ but hmppphh.. I failed to do so. I reckon I have to push myself nowadays. I'm just getting lazier and slacking. Which isn't good. I don't wanna end up being a SLOTH! Hehe ;p Or shud I say DODO. Cos I had this conversation with a friend on which animal is the slowest of all. Hehe. My pren cakap 'Dodo'!! (Those whose studying in Australia should know this. Yang advert internet, broadband atu bah. Yg bird ada cape, yg terabang terabang atu. Huhu. Does it click?) Anyway, I'll try to get some work done by this weekend I guess... I hope...

Oh today's Ashraf's Birthday! So, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!! *hugs* I still can't believe it that you may not be coming back, daleng... Hmphhh... Hope to see you soon.

Congratulations to Umi and my other Glasgow friends on their graduation ceremony! I trust you had a great time and that includes wearing the graduation kit, name being called in front of hundreds or thousands of people, seeing yourself on the big screen, finally holding that one piece of paper that you've been working hard on for years and of course taking pictures. *sighhhh* And this goes to my friends here in Brisbane as well... Happy Graduating! ;)

Anyway, Armageddon is currently showing on 7 and I could not help but watch it for the thousandth time. Siuk bah ceritanya ni. Oh, talking about movies, I watched Pirates of the Carrabiean: Dead Man's Chest last night. It was a full house and segala culture keluar. Arab&Co, Indo&Kunchu dan lain lain. Umm.. It was dragging and a bit darker than the first one. And since I caught it at 9.20pm, my concentration was at a low level, knowing how slow I am. So I guess, I might need to watch it again.. on DVD pulang tu! ;p I prefer the first one though. More straight forward and less scarry pasal nada sea mansters. Briijap bah! I got goosebumps just watching the mansters. Hmphh. Ngilu kueee~~ But hey, why don't you go and check it out yourself ;) Mirul liked it. He preferred the second one. So yeah, just go ahead and judge it yourself, k.

Lastly, this may be useful for those whose been gymming or doing sports or been doing some strenous exercise. I was reading through Brudirect yesterday and came across a good tip on my favourite section ;) Apparently, cherry juice is good for easing the pain of sore muscles. I know banana does but harga banana mahal udah masa ani ($11.99 per kg) so we might as well look up for an alternative. It is believed that cherry juice has this power in alleviating the symptoms of inflammatory conditions and can reduce the symptoms of muscle damage plus it contains antioxidant! So people, add cherries or cherry juice on your shoppoing list and kiss goodbye to muscles sores! ;) Alrighty, mighty...

Happy Birthday!!!

(I was suppose to post this yesterday but I guess I've forgotten ;p)

The 2-piece-bikini turns 60 today (yesterday to be precise)! So, it's been 60 years women had been wearing the sexy 'swimwear'. Masa ani inda lagi kana pakai untuk swimming. Kana pakai untuk shopping sudah. I reckon it's gonna be the universal outfit soon. I wonder who designed it. I have a strong feeling it's a lady though. Anyway, enough of that and let me just do some more research on that, okay?

Portugal lost against France this morning. I'm not happy but now I'm hoping Italy will get their hands on that gold-trophy. Amin Amin. And I'm praying, Portugal will get the third place. Amin Amin. Throughout the Fifa World Cup, I haven't watched a single FULL match and I hate waking up in the morning wondering who got through and who doesn't. So, as soon as I wake up, before getting ready for uni, I switch on my laptop and search for the scores. Hmphh. Payah bah time difference nya atu. I can't set my alarm at 5am just to watch football. My passion for football isn't that thick, you know. Which is somehow good. If not, it'll mess up my sleeping patterns. What dayya think? ;p But I'll certainly TRY to catch the World Cup Finale. Huhu. Mawu jua ;p

That dream

*sighhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh*

I wish I could stay a little bit longer in the dream that I had. Gosh, it was the best stage 1 of sleep I've ever had. Too bad it was just a dream. It was just too good to be true. Iatah dalam mimpi saja atu kali. Huhu..

Okay, I dreamt about Michael Scofield from Fox River Prison! Pwisoonnn Bweakkkk bahhh!! In the dream, he was talking to me and to my surprise I was calm. What was wrong with the Marha, the dream version! I was suppose to melt over him. And the dream was soooo vivid! Hmphhh. Manisssssssss~~~ I could see his eyes oh-so-clearly. I could almost touch his hair, his face... *melttt* And oh, he sat next to me pun. But I couldn't remember of what he was saying. Too bad. But who cares! Manis. Manis. Manis. Manis. Manis. Manis. Manis. Manis. Manis. Manis. Manis. Manis. Manis. Manis. Manis. Manis. Manis. Manis. Manis. Manis. Manis. Manis. Manis. Manis. Manis. Manis. Manis. Manis. Manis. Manis. Manis. Manis. Manis. Manis.

*melttttttttttttttt*

Like I said, it was too good to be true. At least I met him in my dream.. as Michael Scofield NOT as Wentworth Miller. Mun inda paksa tah ke Wentworth Street tu. Huhu.

Tip top toe...

Hmm.. I've been ignoring this blog and I guess it's not a good thing for a beginner. Hehe. Don't you think? Huhu. I don't have any specific reason for that so yeahh.. Hehe. Here are the summary of the interesting things that happened for the past couple of days:


Friday (30-06-2006):

Spent my time in the lab chit-chatting with Francoise, my labmate. I haven't seen her eversince I had my seminar weeks and weeks ago. Dorothy was suppose to give us a small seminar in the lab but David (my supervisor) and Harry didn't turn up. So we decided to treat our tummy to the food in the pub. I had Tomato and Basil Penne. It was soooo good and I was the first one to finish up my meal which was unusual. Usually everyone has to wait for me. Huhu. Lapar kali bah. Met a few Masters students from David's lab. Mann, inda siuk wah drg atu. They were just talking among themselves macam kami ani invisible. Nangiskueee.. Hmpphh.. After lunch, spent the remaining time in the lab subculturing cells. I guess I have to do that more often. It's either the cells mati or they get used up in one go i.e. bepakai in one experiment bahh.. You knoiiii ;p

In the evening, I went shopping ALONE in the city. My shopping partner, Selly Welly, wasn't in 'town'. Dat y! I bought a few stuff for my siblings and for myself, of course! Huhu. It was a fun night though I spent it alone. Quality time alone bah. Hehe. And oh, I met BJ that night. Sama pun, membali belah ia jua. Urang kan balik ari minggu kaliahh. Hehe ;p


Saturday (01-07-2006):

I went to watch 'SMALLVILLE The Movie' (SUPERMAN RETURNS) and CLICK!

SUPERMAN RETURNS: It was a alright. Very classic. Kan sama jua mcm Superman movies yang lain. All in all, ok lah. I enjoyed it but not as I enjoyed CLICK!

CLICK: I love it! I guess Adam Sandler's movies can make me cry. I cried when I watch The Wedding Singer, Big Daddy (for sure), 50 First Dates and Click, almost got me there. Very cali pun the movie! I love it! Sama moral of the storynya, apa-apa ani, Family comes first. Okayyy? Just watch it, k!

I sleptover at BJ's that night and Mea was there as well. It was soooo good catching up with her after 2 months. BJ was busy packing and playing dress up at the same time. Mana inda, inda tidur. Kan bemain saja bah. Hehe. We watched a DVD as well (Jangan berantiii, meliat mubi aniiii). This time it was FAMILY STONE! Sah! Seharian pasal Family saja. Ertinya it's a sign nyuruh balik Bruneii. Hmpphhh. *hold back tears* I slept 30 mins before the movie ended. Hmphh. Typical me. Selalu wahh. And I managed to catch bits and pieces of the ENGLAND vs PORTUGAL (iakah? I cant remember). I fell asleep (again) after the first half. It was sooo dissapointing when I knew that ENGLAND lost. Woke up again at the 36th min of the BRAZIL vs FRANCE match and fell asleep (jgn beranti) after the break. And then the kusut-ness hit me when I woke up at the 89th min and saw the score was 1-nil! France leading. Hmphh *kusut* I was trying to keep myself calm but the thoughts in my head went "there's no way Brazil can get through at this very last minute. Unless ada miracle". But no, pebaik tah kana bagi extra 3 mins, they didn;t make it. And that was it.. The end of Brazil. I was really stressed that I went to BJ's room and makin lagi stress meliat ya tidur 'cos I wanted to tell someone about it. Hmpphh.. Makin jua lagi kusut tu. I felt so sad and I wanted to cry. And then..

*bunyi pintu bebuka*
me: "BeeJayyyyy~~~ Brazil kalahhhh" *sad face*
BJ: Cana bulih?
me: Antah BJ. Aku bangun at the 89th min, skali 1-nil ahh. Kusut ku BJ. No more Brazil. No more Ronaldinho. Inda ku dpt tidur ni. (Bear in mind it was almost 7am and I didn't get enough sleep that night)
BJ: Sabar saja kayyyy~~

Oh well... I was really devastated and I managed to sleep a bit. Though it didn't make any justice. But anyway, we need to got up early anyway. Kan antar BJ ke airport bah. Dat y! And dat y I sleptover at BJ's at the first place.


Sunday (02-07-2006):

We went to the airport and BJ was panicking on our way there for no reason. Hehe. It hurts me to see that ramai urang balik Brunei. Hmpphh. Ashraf balik pun. Serina balik pun. Everyone balikkkkk~~ Over brunch, Ashraf and Serina were picking on me about their plans di Brunei. Plisss!! Sasak jua ku tu..

Ashraf: C.A. Mohamad breakfast nyaman ahh
Serina: Awu banar tu
BJ: *menyampuk* Nyonya Buttermilk chicken pun nyaman

BULIHHHHHHH!!!! Sia siaaaaaa punnnnnnnn~~~

So I just helped myself to my small but NYAMAN meal, Egg Benedict with Smoked Salmonnn!! Nyaman chenggg~~~ *smilesssss*

I said my goodbyes to everyone and that was it. SUNYI. LONELINESS. SEDIH. Semuanya melanda.

Evening came and I went to catch another good movie. TOKYO DRIFT!! It wass soooo gooodddd. Kan belajar drfiting tah ni. I love the movie. The cars were.. oh-my-Goshh, lawaaaa *melt* The movie was soo meriah with all the cucul. I love it. Macam suasana di Perpindahan time Hari Raya. Hehe ;p


Monday (03-07-2006):

Monday took all the energy that I'd been saving throughout the weekends. I went to UQ to look for some journals. But since the building is under renovation, I couldn't get hardcopy of the journals, so I just ordered them. Hmphh. After that, I headed back to the city and went to Borders to get some cooking books. Huhu. I bought a Pasta-cookbook and a small Encylopedia on Thai cooking since I'm addicted to Pad Thai. I love it! I cooked a meal that evening since lama udah inda memasak. The last time was last Monday. Mati wahhh. I treid cooking Carbonara. It was my first one and I was happy that it turned out good. Thanks to Fina!


Tuesday (04-07-2006):

Oh, Selamat Hari Kebangsaan, Bush! ;p

I helped myself to KFC and custard puffs for lunch. Huhu. Evening came and I had microdermabarasion. It was really sakittt. It actually disturbed my emotions. Hmph. Sabar saja~~

And oh, I guess I didn't mention anything about a new series HEIST right? I watched the pilot today and I fell in love with it. It's a combination of Ocean's 11 and Italian Job! Siuk brabis and I'm looking forward to watch some of the episodes.

Okay then. That's a wrap. Night night people.
