2:49 PM

The other day during the karaoke outing turned out to be a hell for my feet. I brought yellow pumps along with me for fun and madness but it turned out to be a crime. The reason...

The suspect

The Victims

Weeeee! Karaoke with the relatives was fun last sat, down at apollo centre. Well i kinda "got lost" once i reached clarke quay. The sign board says EXIT B to go there. & i just had to cross the road since apollo ctr was just opposite but i couldnt see any sign of the word "Apollo Centre" on the building opposite but when i looked at the board it was correct. So i already crossed the road when i called my uncle again and he said to go by EXIT A. Then surprisingly when i came out it just so happened that i ended up on the other side of the road where i could still see the exit that i came out from earlier. & the worst thing was that i had already crossed the road and i just needed to walk straight down then i'll meet up with them. Uurughgh! But i went all the way to exit a and my feet was already killing me because of the new yellow shoes. I took it off as i was crossing the bridge cos i couldnt stand the pain. If i'd known this would happen i should have brought some plasters or even wear slippers.

Once we reached the studio, asyraf and ariiq were there too, together with my aunt and hidayah (ingatkan tu dua tu tinggal kat rumah). Ila and along came later. Had fun singing to the songs, solo and duet and even group. Nana was simply waiting for the Kau Mawarku song to come by because there's a story behind that song back during our childhood days. Hehe and me and putri did the backup voices for it. Me and Bik N did the duet for Cinta too. But we didnt have time for the Spice Girls song in the end cos time was up! Damn, must the person count?? Haiyo. Ouh and si hidayah tu, girl next time you sing ar bring loudhailer k! Or we could each bring a pair of funnel. Kasi dengar sikit suara ko tu. Kekekekekke, abih tu kencang seyy pilih lagu My All. Tak nak kalah seyy. Dahtu dabis karaoke bergayut kat talipon. Ariiq was great too when he tarik all the notes. Haha tapi muka bapak dia tak maintain bila tarik. (Hehehe terasa nampak, terasa nampak!)

Headed to Lau Pa Sat (again another round of satay! bik n said my wish came true) in bik ita's car. Then all was quiet when all of a sudden hidayah's phone rang and guess what's the ringtone? So me, nana and putri went "ouh patut ar dia pilih lagu my all!! my all seyy, ingat apa!" We got our seats and was looking at the menu when this random guy from one of the satay stall took it away from us. So rude la, i mean your customer is browsing through the menu and there you are snatching it away from us? What if that happens to you, ass? We took the menu again and passed it to nana this time, and i heard a "tsk!" from the same guy with his expression like F. We kinda ordered alot and some were almost the same like what i ate the other time i came. Ouh and congrats to nana for passing her exam, i heard, even though she couldnt stand her students at some point in time. Hehehe kesabaran to mesti selalu nana. Cheyy kasi nasihat nampak, kasi nasihat nampak!

& did i tell you that me and nana plus ila wore yellow that day. But me and nana wore matching colours yellow AND grey. Shocking! Managed to take a lot of pictures there. & i get to watch Enchanted on the way home. Thanks for the ride home eh korg! So when's our next karaoke outing? & next time let's all write down what songs we wanna sing first so that time is saved when selecting the songs especially those from our childhood times :) pictures at my multiply!!

YELLOW=HAPPY

HAPPY=YELLOW

Hehehehe. That explains the title. I finally got round to watching step up 2 with Con yesterday in which i intended to watch online but the picture quality isn't that good. I must say the storyline is a little disappointing compared to the first movie and i do agree with those who said this. But that doesn't matter cos the music is great, the actors are awesome and the dance moves especially are tremendous!!! I know cos i was moving to the beat as the songs were playing. I guess it'll be awesome if i could have those moves. Ouh and the guy Moose in the movie, haha it's amazing that even though he's skinny he does have a great bod ya know and i'm only talking about the abs he got. We both kinda wasted a dollar and a half too cos we only found out that there's a student offer at 6 bucks and we paid $7.50. But at least there's a dollar discount on popcorn and drinks.

Oooohh i feel like watching it again cos i sooooooo love the dance moves in the last part of the movie where they danced in the rain. Headed to bugis street later after the movie cos i was searching for plastic shoes. & i was telling C how i like the colour yellow nowadays in which i myself dunno why. I mean it kinda just pops up in my head. So i couldnt find any in bugis street then i went to bugis village and there it was. I was actually looking for the black one and didnt even noticed the yellow one JUST next to it when C told me. Then i went berserked cos i told her before that i thought of getting yellow pumps. & it's only 5.90 (alah, you know plastic shoes wht, cheap pe!). So i got one pair of black one for mum and the yellow one for me!!! I felt so happy and accomplished after paying for them. Then we went back to the street (haha, the street eh, pikir step up 2 the streets kepe), cos i saw a yellow (again) cardigan and it comes with a hood! Ahahahah, i loike and it's only 8 bucks and and it's the last piece for yellow! Bought it there and then. But it's a little disappointing for me cos when i tried it at home it feels a little tight around your arms. No wonder the salesgirl wrote there "no trying". Somemore last piece also dont wanna give discount. But still i'm happy i bought the yellow pumps and C bought a black one but different design. & i didnt realize she was wearing slippers until we were trying out the pumps.

p/s: i cant wait for karaoke with the cuzzzz.

Had chalet with mum's friends over at Aloha Loyang during my long weekends. We only managed to reach there at night, sad to say my adeq missed the fancy dress game. It made me thinking what a waste to have made the ninja turtle "shell" for him when it's over. Uurgghhh! Ouh and i had satay again, hehe. They played Treasure Hunt too in which some of the items are like tak logic seyy. I mean who would wanna bring an m.c. hammer to chalet and where the hell can we find ice-cream sticks. Haizzz. I on the other hand managed to play charade for the last game and my group won!! **Malam pesta Muda-Mudi (that's my group name), Muda-Mudi!** & i had to act out "tarian ballet" and "popiah basah". I dont even know how to act out popiah but at least they managed to figure it out. & while i was trying to act out basah someone from my group shouted "cik pon". Now what has that got to do with basah. Maybe cos i was moving my hand up and down from my head to legs.

We didnt wanna sleep over initially cos dad said he gotta work but we took a mini nap to let ayah sleep awhile before going home. In the end we woke up at 6am and headed to nyai's house instead of ours to tumpang solat subuh and sleep some more. But we went back to the chalet again as we wanted to give adeq an opportunity to go for a swim but sadly it rained after that. At least he managed to get a 10 minutes "swim". It was kinda like a karaoke day at chalet during the 2nd day and i was forced to sing. Haiyo stop forcing me can, ada sampai kena pekik jugak sebab sekali tak cukup. & they asked me to do bila rindu too mak oi tinggi nak mampus nasib baik sampai key.

& yesterday was the first time i played ps2 with along like for like a few hours till 2 plus in the morning. Thanks for the BEN 10 game eh bik!! Kekekeke, org kasi org lain main, in the end kita yg tua2 yg main. Takpe lar, asalkan fun!

Went over to aunt's house with adeq yesterday to visit grandma again. Some relatives from malaysia slept over. Before that, headed to SP to top it up, and had breakfast-cum-lunch at Mac's. Then as we wanted to head for the mrt station, saw a mini clearance Bossini sales. So apa lagi, korek ar tu tray. Bought one tee for me and one for adeq (belanja nampak). Cheap2, only 6 bucks each. And now i'm not sure whether i'll have enough $$$ left for tmr's dinner with my dear Ollies and next week for movie with C. Ouh man, I MISS YOU all la my babes!

Then later on that night, mum decided to bring the relatives out-and-about touring the 'city' since they never had the chance to do that if they ever come here. So dad borrowed uncle's van (as usual) and we brought them to see the big ferris wheel, esplanande and the merlion. Took a lot of pictures. & i felt like i was a tourist for once, so jakun (like never see before like that). Managed to take a lot of pictures that night. Ouh and the ferris wheel thingy was so beautiful and HUGE! Love the blue lightings on it.

Went over to Lau Pa Sat for dinner. Ouh yumm, it's been a ling time since i've eaten the food there. Firstly we ordered chicken and mutton (or is it beef?) satay with bbq prawns which are like HUGE too. Then we ordered plain rice with chilli kangkong, fried baby squid, sambal stingray (mmmm, my fav), sweet and sour fish (not sure what fish is it), crispy prawns is it? and tom yum seafood soup!!! Woohoo, ddeeeeeeeeeeeelicious! I didnt managed to take the picture of the chilli kangkong and the fishy plus prawny cos the food was too temping already!!! Hahahaha. Dinner was finger lickin' good. & i found out that i was still eating the remaining side dishes that we ordered while the rest have stopped (makan lagi nampak). Anyway pictures at my multiply :)

Today marks the day where...

Nurafiqah Bte Ismail

... turns 17!!! Wee. Hmm seems like all my cousins are growing older and mature (really?!?). It's been such a long time now and before you know it you're BIG. Again i must say this, that i still remember those days @ Tanglin Halt. Memories are still kept and that place is very precious with all the bitter sweet memories and also the place where we partly grew up. Anyway HAPPY BIRTHDAY girl!! Just to make sure if you're reading this birthday girl, is today really your birthday cos i ain't sure myself but your Friendster said so. So if i'm right then happy birthday again. & if i ain't paisey, paisey - someone please inform me!!! Cos i ain't sure 'bout most of my relatives birthday kekekeke.

And in another story -

Well been spending my time lately trying to learn how to play the guitar; & damn my arms and fingers sure do ache. But hey i'm trying my best as a beginner and hopefully i don't give up easily cos i really do wanna learn and play like a professional one day. I'm still getting the hang of switching from chord to chord with my fingers and memorising how to play each chord. But from what i've heard so far, sometimes when i play it even though they showed the chords online, it seems to differ from what i hear in the songs. Well, at least i know how it goes like and you gotta really press the strings ya know. That's why i'm like having "lines" at the tip of my fingers - keje keras nampak, keje keras nampak. Heheheh, still need to learn how to strum properly too :) I thought of getting a guitar chords book too but the last i checked the price was 30+ heh! So i thought I'd rather go online since it's cheaper but nak cari tu kadang2 punya la leceh. Kuang3. So good luck to ME - freshie in training!

Spent my day yesterday visiting my grandma who's getting more ill. Hope she's doing fine now. Went over to aunt's since i heard that her temp's rising and she's too weak to walk. Not sure who's decision was it but we sent her to NUH that evening. The admission was freaking long that we stayed till almost 10.

Luckily we managed to have dinner there. Iqa Montel and family came later that night and i brought her to go see some toys by the window of the shop. Haha so engrossed in it and sampai terkencing2 tengok mainan. & that girl sure does like to stick out her tongue, or should i say "t-a-n-g" as what her brother would spell it. Hahaha.

Last i heard this morning was that my grandma can now head home. Her temp's fallen but i do hope she'll recover. Don't want the same thing to happen again like around 3 years ago; the time when i was sitting for my O's. Good thing it didn't affect my results. But get well soon nenek :)

p/s: I'm too lazy to cook now, plus there's instant noodles at home.

But i think mummy wants it - if so, it means no mp3, camera or radio on the go! :(

I've been tutoring my niece ar my cousin's house for the past few day ever since i got fired from the disney job. It's been alright for me so far and at least i have something to do since i'm jobless again, instead of just sitting at home doing nothing or even spending the whole day in front of the computer (but at least not until like 12 hours or even almost 24/7 like that someone even after i just offed it).

Well lucky thing is i'm pretty good in maths and english. & at least it's still primary school topics cos i don't think i can remember how the syllabus in secondary schools will be like, especially since they like to change nowadays. So far i've seen some improvements but that's just a lil' bit, & boy does he needs to really brush up his reading skills. I do believe he can do it just that he's a little slow in catching up with the words. Hope i'll be able to push up his grades after all the tutoring for now. Ain't sure if i'll be tutoring him again cos it's up to my cousin. But if you need me i'll be available at the moment cuz!! Heh :)

p/s: i wanna go watch movie and buyy new bottoms for my wardrobe!! anybody wanna come??? & sorry cousins i should have planned earlier for the movie outing, come to think of it it's a little late now. Maybe we'll go some other day (that's if if i have enough cash left).

7:22 PM

Went over to aunt's house yesterday. Managed to reach just in time before the bus leaves to kak mel's crib. There were 20 hantarans from our side. Some were just weird with a basket of vegetables, cans of sardines, a packet of maggi and kotex?!?! What?

Board the bus around 3 plus with all the stuff. Ooh cramp, squeeze it in. So many people in the house. Took hell a lot of pictures with the bride for the day. So pretty! & the money, ooooh $8,888. & when it comes to the photo-taking part, it's always the same people and same ole' faces. "Asyik dia je. Amek gambar nampak, amek gambar nampak!" Like what they would say. Kekekz.

Went back to bukit panjang later in the afternoon. Ate some more food. Oh i just cant stop munching whenever there's a hell lot of food some where especially when there's an ocassion or event happening within the families. I managed to watch the dvd "Takleh Angkat - Kelakar Rabak" by Q&Que production, another lame and hilarious production by Suhaimi Yusof. Damn it was funny especially the indian song subtitles and the bloopers. They just cant stop laughing and i just cant stop laughing at the subtitles. Wakakaka!

Left at around 8 plus at night. Crossed over to board 963 but the bus came too early before we could reached. & when 960 came i took the bus thinking that it will go to woodlands since i alighted from 963 on the other side so that means that in order to get home i'll have to board to opposite side. So there i was thinking that it goes the same with 960. But Nooooooo. We took the one which heads to bugis instead as i realised halfway through the journey. Damn i felt stupid. So i alighted at bugis since that's where i normally took the bus from. Thought i could ask my dad to fetch but apparently they didnt drive home and had already returned the car. So had to take back the bus and there was a beetle on my head. Eeeewwwwww! & all the LALAs surrounding me and everywhere in the bus. But i then managed to get a seat after a long journey. Waited for them at the bus interchange before we finally managed to reached home.

11:51 AM

I havent been updtaing for the past few days cos i've been real busy with my-i-dunno-what-to-call-it-now. So here goes.

The Good
I received a call saying that i got the job working for Disney on Ice happening during the march scool holidays. Well yes finally i'm working. So i started on a friday, the first show for the event aka the premiere. It was alright to me and i can handle it a first. Met new friends nisa, faizal, saiful, sharifah, noriko bla bla bla. & the atas people joe, angel, marc, butch?, nash, etc. So i was thrown to work at the food table on the first day with nisa. Came around 130pm and there i was thinking that the show starts at 330pm but apparently since it's only a premiere, there's only one show and it starts at 8pm. Darn i have to wait that long till the show starts and it's freaking cold in there. So nisa taught me a lot on what to do for the food table. We sold cotton candy w/ dalmation hats, stitch, flounder ad dalmation mugs with or without snow cones in it - which still comes in the same price - and salted popcorn. It's kinda expensive though especially for one box of popcorn which costs 6 bucks. So first day was ok and i get to watch some parts of the show. So amazing, and free some more. Haha but in the end my table had a shortage of $3 and coincidentally other food tables too had the same amount of shortage. We left quite late though and i reached home around 1 plus in the morning. Slept at 2 plus and i only managed to get 4 hours of sleep cos the next day i have to be there at 8am. Phew! Luckily dad drove me to work so i wasnt late.

The Bad
2nd day and i arrived a little too early. Didnt know what to do and where to go but asked one of the staff later on. Went back to the station i worked the day before. Took a pail of water and got a call from wani saying to come back to the station. I was then told to work outside with sharifah since there's a new kid working at the east entrance. So found out that faizal was working outside too under novelties. Ok i've got a friend to talk too. But i kinda got "shouted" at for leaving the table twice. Firstly, i went down to get bread from my cuz downstairs and i left the money there. So stupid of me since my partner wasn't there too. & 2ndly, saiful called me and faizal in for lunch. so i thought it'll be ok asking noriko to just look after my stall since i have all the money with me. But i told saiful that if anything happens he'll answer for me since he said it was ok to go in. Sat behind the food table in the north entrance and later on she found me sitting there. So yea i got "screamed" at again and apparently i had to go out but the both of them also went ot since they feel bad about it. Is it? Sales was not that good as the mugs weren't like selling unlike last night except for the popcorns and floss. But in the end our stall didnt have any shortages or excess.

The Ugly
Well now it comes to this part. The part where everyone hates. The part where everyone had a shock of their life - the old staff AND the new. We were told to hang on to ourselves since she said that a lot of us are gonna get fired. Yes, that's it FIRED! I thought i was dreaming or something but NOOOOOOO! That stupid SON OF A BITCH thai lady had to fire us for dunno what reason. FUCK you bitch! Because of you i'm starting to hate the job and some of the people there. Fuck you for throwing us out. If it is because of the sales, Hello! wake up dey. You cant blame us about it. If it is due to many people working already, Hello! you can always ask us to work a few days and switch scheduled right? I mean some of us can work these day while the rest work the other few remaining days. Duh! But NOOOOOOOOO, you just HAD to fire us. Pity those who have worked long. & sorry cuz you had to be fired too (including ME! fuck) knowing that i got the job because of you. & because i got fired too NOW I'M JOBLESS. Again! Fuck sia these kind of people cannot take it sia. Like that jangan jadi orang besar sua. Budak2 baru masuk pun kau nak buang. Da kenapa dengan ko sak pompan sial. Ada yang keje satu hari semalam je da kena buang. CB! To bloody hell you go BITCH.

I just need a simple job for now and now i cant even have it! What's wrong with the people nowadays. Now i'm still short of money and it lookslike me dream to go shopping again is wasted all because of that bitch. & i'm desperate for some good job with good management level and people please. You just have to take that away from me.

10:59 AM

Went out with connie yesterday to JEEC for k-lunch. Yup! C owes me a k-lunch treat ever since the day i won champion for sb talentime in school whish is like 6 months ago - aug 30th. Haha anyways babe, thanks for the treat! I love it so much and i love you too. Yes you, if you're reading this you'll love me too right? :)

So forced myself outta bed even though i didnt feel like it cos it's such a good day to sleep since it's drizzling outside. Ooh, so comfy cuddling in my bed with my blankey. Sms-ed C before i went out. & i knew that the moment she didnt reply me, she'd still be sleeping. & yeap you guessed it right. I tried calling her on my way there but she didnt pick up but once i reached only then did she answered and realised she was late - AS ALWAYS. Right babe?

Rushed down quickly and didnt managed to take a bath cos she knows she'll be even later and doesnt want to disappoint me. But at least she brushes her teeth and doesnt really stink haha. Hmm. We started half an hour later and ended around 2pm. It's been really fun singing with her cos i normally go k box with her and she's the only one from my class whom i always go with. Sang all the way through even though we screamed and went off key but who cares. That what the place is meant to be, isnt it? Hehe. Weird thing is she already misses me right after we left. But we promised each other we would go again some other time. If not we'll go SHOPPING! Oh it's been such a long time since i did that and only God knows when was the last time i did that with my friends.

Went to visit my grandmother after that since she's sick. But i think she's recovering. Get well soon nenek! :) I'm starting the Disney job soon. Hope i'll be able to have fun as i'm working and plus get to meet more friends, and what more work with my friends. Yay! Am still waiting for the sms or the call from them. Hmm wonder if there'll be any tee for us to wear...

Friday, 290208

Went to Downtown East BK to celebrate Annisa's 12th birthday. Yes she's a leap year baby so it's a special day for her knowing that she only gets to celebrate her birthday ONCE every 4 years. So that makes her like 3 actually? Haha but anyway happy birthday girl (or should i say a belated one).

The theme that they decided on was "CARTOON" so apa lagi. Haha I only made a decison to dress up syakir in the end cos i thought it was too leceh for me. I didnt intend to dress him up as a super hero or something cos i thought it was already too common and plus it was kinda boring. Sooooo.... i made a snow white costume for him. Hahaha. But it was good though. Good job girl! (Pat on the back). We board the bus to BK with blusher on his cheeks. Haha had to dress him up there cos he cant possibly be wearing that on the bus kan. Paisey seyy like that. Me and bik net were the first to arrive from nyai's side. Asyraf was Handy Man while Ariiq was Spiderman for the night. Prizes were given to best dressed and guess what?

Syakir won best dressed for the boy's category!!! Woohoo. As said by me "Tak sia-sia aku buatkan "baju" tu!" Yipee. Seems like every thing that he took part in he wins 1st prize. What's the prize? We'll find out later. Ouh and you gotta check out the video cos belum sebut pemenangnya nana da cakap "YAY!!"

Saturday, 010308

Woke-up early that morning cos we planned to go Wild Wild Wet. But it was raining so had to delay a lil' bit. Then when we were about to head out, this syakir pulak buat hal tak nak pergi. So told nana that we're not going since he wants to play PS2. Then after that nak pergi pulak. & we went there later with the help of paman. Maceh2. Bibik didnt go cos they had to go jemputan. Woohoo 1st time @ WWW was great! We mostly played at the children's area cos it was fun. Haha we felt younger playing with the little ones.

The best part was the Ular-lah! There's this big float and slide in which it can accomodate up to 6 persons max and then we'll slide down. Initially it was scary cos it was my first time. & it seems like the float is going to terbalik when it comes to the part where bibik "went up". Then the BEST PART eh! Part amek gambar dia punya la geram. First time we took every one was in the picture but my head was cut off. Then 2nd time again. The girl at the counter said one of our head got cut off. & AMAZINGLY it was MINE! Mine, mine, mine! Of all the heads it was mine??? How can that be seyy. So sad when i was having so much fun :( Some more i changed my sitting position seyy.

Had some noodles before we went back to the chalet. & hell there were so many people there bbquing over at the place. Saturday kan nak buat pe. Most of them are celebrating birthdays i guess since there's 29 Feb this year.

Okies, i had fun all in all. For more pictures, go to my multiply. Let the pixies do the talking. Till then.
