[Currently addicted to Broken by Kelly Rowland]


Eskey and I had lunch with Hazim, Cits, and Huda at Shakers yesterday where we both chomped on Trah's recommendation- salty beef melt sandwich. For a non beef eater I quite enjoyed our beeflicious meal =) It tasted exactly like corned beef, but chunkier with cheese drooling over it. Nyum! After our luncheon everyone dispersed to their own separate ways and we spent our evening at Selfridges browsing through every section of the department store. From electronics to shoes to chocolates to books. I especially enjoyed the electronics section where we spotted these snazzy bluetooth speakers. Eskey demonstrated by sending a song from his phone to the speakers via bluetooth and not long after that the speakers emitted Booty Music on full blast! Suh-weet! The last stop we made before heading home was Waterstones where Eskey, being the sweetheart that he is, *ahem* decided to get me a lil something =) He selected his favorite piece from the Nicholas Sparks collection and on top of that threw in a book mark in loving memory of Betty. Aww! =( *Meow old friend. Meow* Haha! Thanks for the pink book and the kitty bookmark, hunny! I will no longer be SKYPE'ing with you once you're back in Soton because they will have become the official "cure to my loneliness" Ekeke! xx!


Oh man. Everyone's still asleep. And I'm hungry. Rawr. I need to find a way to accidentally wake them up. Nyehhehe! A beautiful day like today shouldn't be wasted!

I'm definitely far from being labelled a 'brand whore' but like every other girl, I am a fan of anything pretty and sparkly =) Months ago a friend of mine was sporting a gold ring with a bow detail covered in rhinestones. After she revealed that she had gotten the pretty little thing from Accessorize, my obsession fueled me into searching high and low for the identical ring. After unsuccessfully scavenging through the many branches (several Barcelona branches included!) I finally gave up. But look what I recently stumbled across! A similar find! If anything this super gorgeous from Dior costs no more than 50pounds, I say it's money well worth spent. Next month tah ;) I need something to keep my spirits up until exams are over. Harhar! Twin, you're coming with me, right? =)

I miss Southampton already. Anyway, it's late. I'm tired =) Enjoy the pictures. I'm sure they'll summarise my weekend for you.

Southampton's Student Union- SUSU. harhar~!


I would like to buy some susu's plis =)

tiger prone area~
To the right, to the right~

The boots that stole my man
Ali, please work your magic and have a meal fit for a queen appear before me! =)

Et voila!

Burfffday rendez vous: the shoe joins us for dinner.. and so the affair begins =P

Second night with the guys- BMC night baby!

Ali, don't forget to eat the mushrooms too =P

I cannot believe my picture got replaced with.. THIS!

Hunny, look what I got.. mwahahahahahhaha!! Come to London, and they're yours ;)

Hope you had a great birthday weekend~ xx!

In the middle of watching the greatest run of Amerika Idola last week, my alarm went off. It was midnight and as requested I rang Eskey to "wake him up from his 2-hour nap." Pfft! Little did I know he hadn't been sleeping like he said he was. In fact he was already in London contrary to what he had originally planned. I was expecting him in the morning you see so I was shocked when I heard a knock on the door to find that it was him, looking all smug ;) Sneaky sneaky! =) Hmm. I think I actually might have responded to the shock by shutting the door on him. Haha! Anyways, it's almost midnight! So..

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DARLING~!~!~ =)
I can't wait to surprise you later at 5.35pm ;) Harhar. Talu~

Speaking of surprises, last Saturday (yes, I'm aware of how behind I am with my posts!) was the surprise farewell dinner party for Uncle S and family at Kiasu. Such a welcoming and warm-hearted family. Bless. There were a couple of tear-jerking speeches during the dinner but I think everyones spirits lifted a little when some of us decided to go to Waffle House for dessert. Eskey and I shared the Special House Waffle. The waffle of all waffles! It was jam packed with fruits, chocolate, nuts, whipped cream- you name it! It took awhile but we eventually wolfed down the monster of a waffle =) *high 5!*




Hmm. I think I could start a food blog =) Anyway, it's almost midnight. Gots to wish the burfffday boy a happy birthday!

[Currently addicted to Iceberg by Claude Kelly]

My room smells like.. a girl's room =) And coming home to a nice smelling room on a Friday afternoon is utter bliss. It hasn't felt this cozy in a while. Ahh. Since I've already got the rain all I'm missing now is some fuzzy slippers, a novel, and a cup of hot chocolate. Now that's what I call complete relaxation. Haha. Man, how cliche.

Class was dull but no surprise there. My Friday classes have always been quite the snooze fest. You'd think I'd have a lot to contribute to our never ending topic on diplomacy, international relations, and the functions of the United Nations HQ in New York but.. I don't =) Most of the time I waste my life away by spending the entire 3 hour class reading magazines, texting, or babbling with Trah =P Besides, when I'm not entertaining myself I enjoy sitting back and watching the others restrain themselves from wringing each others neck in the middle of a heated debate on global governance. I've never been in a room with so many opinionated people in my life. And so passionate at that. But I guess that's what politics is all about. Right, my fellow politician, Dex? ;)

Last night the sisters, Piek and I snuggled under our blankets and watched The Eye. I think it's safe to say that the entire building shook from our screaming. For a Hollywood horror flick, I give it a 10. =) Ena- watch it!!! =)

Aww would you look at that! Dk Paige is sheesha'ing! 50p says she'll step up her game and turn into a chain smoker!! *SnickerS*

I've caught the bug. Err I'm not sure which bug exactly but I'm pretty sure there's been a common one lurking around for the past couple of days and well yeah. I've got it. Hypochondriac much? Lol. Eskey have gone out to get some ingredients for our fajitas feast tonight. Speaking of food, this morning Eskey made the most amazing burgers! Double chicken and cheese with beef salami! I'm not too crazy about beef but when you've got a combination as good as this one, there's nothing to do but to indulge in its meaty goodness! Beat this, Tinseltown! =)



Ooh! By the way, after two months I've only recently discovered the many many settings on my new camera and I'm re-loving it. So, expect more pictures coming up! Mind you, I'm pretty careful about who and what I blog about so my pictures will be quite limited in terms of subject. Hehe.

I can't believe classes have already started for me. A 2 week break is hardly an Easter holiday! I mean, I could skip classes for 2 weeks! -but I don't! ;) I was just saying, I could. It's so unfair how everyone else has got 4 and in some cases 5 weeks of bumming around and I don't! =(

Spent a couple of days in Soton the day after we landed from Barthalona. Besides playing Cluedo (the DVD version!) I also played Guitar Hero for the first time and sucked real bad! I got boo'ed for crying out loud! =) Road tripped to London in time for the National Day cruise. Kudos to all those who performed. You guys ROCKED the boat! ;) Made an appearance (eseh!) at Trah's birthday rendez vous at Carnaby Street 2 nights ago and I must say, I couldn't have been happier for the birthday girl. You know what I mean right, babe? Hehe!

Apologies for the mui brief post! Until I get some time on my hands, I shall get back to a blogging something actually worth reading =P

I miss my poodle curly hair =(

[Currently addicted to: I Can't Win by Usher]

Barcelona was...surreal. I must say, the datin-datin were the perfect girls to have gone with =) Will update about the trip more once I've settled back down in London because soon I'll be off to Southampton. Phew! I feel like a nomad! =P

[Currently addicted to: So Beautiful by Adassa ft. Pitbull]

Last week was crazy. A good crazy! The type of crazy I'd like to have happen more often =) I took off for Soton on Monday after class and after taking many many detours back home because of some man who idiotically managed to wedge himself in between the train tracks I found myself on a serious time crunch! Good thing I was *ahem* advised to pack the night before because by the time I had reached Brunei Hall I only had 20 minutes before the train at Waterloo was scheduled to leave. Being the super girl I am, I'm proud to say I managed to hop on the train in the nick of time. Yes. I surprise myself sometimes =) It was crucial that I got on that particular train because like I mentioned in my earlier post, someone was sweet enough to have booked the night to watch the musical, Cats! I loved it! The stage was beautiful and the performance was absolutely breathtaking. All in all, it was a spectacle impossible to forget =) My 3 day stay turned into 4 days and within those days I was brought to explore the lovely town. We had lunch at a Malaysian restaurant (I think it was Malaysian since they had nasi lemak, nasi goreng etc.. Pokoknya Asian lah. Hehe!) where I had the egg fried rice with fish in black bean sauce *drool* while S.K had the fried rice with sambal udang. Nyum! After that we walked to the other side of town for dessert where we had the best milkshake from Shake'away (sp?). Ferrero Roche + Crunchie yo! It sure as hell beats Tinseltown's milkshakes by a mile! We also stopped by the mall where the guys modelled some very hottylicious suits. Feewits! =) I got them back by subtly swaying into La Senza- and no I didn't model any numbers for them. Haha! It had been awhile since I stepped foot in a mall and omg- it's so much better than Brunei's. Then again, any mall is better than Brunei's. Lol.

On my way home to London I brought company *blink blink* who also brought company- his ipod! Woohoo! I was very much entertained watching How I Met Your Mother on S.K's ipod until I eventually dozed off. Hehe. What a great traveling buddy he is. Not only does he provide the best entertainment but he provides the most comfortable pillow too *wink wink* Two of the most important essentials when traveling and I didn't even need to pack either! Ekek! During that weekend we went to the Pupillage Fair held at Lincoln's Inn. I had a blast even though we spent more time taking pictures and wading through the crowd to pick up as many freebies as we could! Oops. Haha! I especially enjoyed our excursion to Covent Garden the day before that. It's such a great place to find the quirkiest things. I only wish I had gone there before Midget's birthday because there were trillions of lil items she would've liked. Maybe next year? ;)

Ooh! Has anyone seen the trailer for Shutter? I nak watch! Maybe not. I remember watching the original Thai version dulu in Notts and I remember not being able to sleep for a good week or so. Rawr. The trailer for Step Up 2 pun cam syok. Yes. I know I'm a bit behind when it comes to movies. Hehe.

What a hectic day it has been today! Because RR's glasses had mysteriously vanished a couple of days ago I decided what better timing to pay a visit to the optician together since I've recently noticed how off my vision has been and at the same time RR can grab a prescription for new glasses. RR was so cute! For a moment there I felt like the Monica and she was the Rachel. Why? I had to accompany her all the way inside just to keep her head still while the optician tried with all his might (bless him) to shoot a small puff of air directly into her eye. I didn't know whether to laugh about the situation or to scream in pain because RR tried to keep still by clawing her nails into my excess love handles. Haha. But to be fair the pressure of the air was quite painful for the first half second or so. And anyway I, too, had my own embarrassing moment which shall not be mentioned!! =P After the many many tests confirming my astigmatism the good part finally came when it was time to choose the frames for my brand new glasses! Wee! I decide to stay away from the whole black framed look so obviously I settled for *ahem* pink ones =) Nothing tacky, I assure you =) In fact they're only rimmed on the top so they don't look too pink. I'm excited! I've been booked to pick them up this Friday and S.K has offered to come with me- if he arrives London before 3 in the afternoon, that is! =) Grrreat. Out of all people, he'll be the first to see me sporting my downgraded dorky look. Na mau eh! =) Once our business at the optician's was done, we headed to Lillywhites. The sole of my old sneakers literally ripped which was why I desperately needed to get a new pair before Brunotts. After approaching the salesman with one too many pairs of shoes I was very much annoyed when he repeatedly nodded his head as a means to inform me of the unavailability of the shoe in my size. I was even more annoyed when he dismissed me by directing me to the Kids section! Rawr! But what choice did I have so I stomped my way one level up whilst grumbling to RR who found the whole thing funny =P Surprisingly, I managed to find something cute in my size =) After all, the kids collection was so much funkier ;) Just to set the record straight- I do not have pixie sized feet! The people here in general just have big feet! And I don't mean that in a bad way at all, so no offence to you lot ;)

Nyeh. I can't be bothered to fix my tagboard. And I would post some pix up but they're all in my pessbook. Malasness.

Brunotts this Saturday! Go team London!

I'm.Ecstatic! I wasn't planning on checking the results for the BVC until the end of the week. But after coming home from Tiyah's and Mimi's farewell dinner I found this in my email:

[Currently addicted to: No More Complaining by Mila J]

I think I've got about 5 unfinished posts chilling in my DRAFTS folder. That's how many attempts I've had in getting back into the blogging game- not that it's been long, but a month and a bit is long enough for me to lose my touch. *blink blink* Lol. So I've decided that whatever the outcome, I'm publishing this post for the sake of updating. Hmm. Must be windy outside. My windows are being way too knarly for my liking. Rawr.

I've been under the weather 2 weeks in a row now but thankfully I'm recovering well. I didn't think the regular coming of illnesses was even possible so I was a bit surprised to find myself in bed ALOT these days. Rawr. My Valentine's day was.. eventful to say the least. Lol. It's not what you guys think- believe me! I was one of many who caught the virus and the warden- bless him- actually sent me to the hospital where I was brought into a dingy room, placed on a hard bed and after many many tests, hooked up to the I.V. Uncomfortable much? I must admit, even though I had insisted that my sisters and RR to go home I felt pretty scared to be by my lonesome self in my T.V'less room. But they did come back with entertainment: a book and my ipod! Oh and funny stories which made me smile the most =) That pretty much sums up my Valentine's day. Lol. Not that it mattered because I didn't have anything major planned for that day anyway. Nyeh. I did recieve the most delicieux cupcakes the day after though! ;) So cute! Each cupcake had letters spelling out 'DIYA.' Aww! Thanks, you!

The verdict for the BVC will be published this Monday. 14:00 to be exact. It's like going through UCAS all over again. Will I get accepted? Rejected? Will I have to go through clearing? Brr! I've decided that I will not be checking the results until later that week though. This decision will have an astronomical impact on my future and my mind hasn't convinced me enough that I'm able to cope with every possible outcome. And until I've reached a zen-like state then only will I have the strength to log on to the BVC website. =) Eeps! Besides, I'll be away this Monday and I don't want my mini vaycay to be ruined, should the results have the tendency to plummet my heart to the ground. Speaking of which I've bought my ticket for Monday! Yahoo! What can I say. I've fallen in love with the place. It brings back so many memories from my Nottingham days. The peacefulness, the tight-knitted community.. the privacy! I just hope I don't miss my train because we've planned to watch Cats, the musical, a couple hours after I arrive! Yay! I've never been to a musical before so I'm pretty psyched about going! I just hope I'll have time to get dolled up there as opposed to me getting ready on the train! I'll be leaving straight from class you see. To leave on the weekend would be more ideal for me but despite what some may think, I do prioritize the girls and the team =) Mwahs!

Yes, the training has indeed begun! Brunotts is only *counts* 2 weeks away? Which isn't long considering the fact that that only leaves us with 2 weekends to practice. Sigh. But nothing to worry about. The girls look like they're in pretty good shape! Wee! As for me, last training was the longest I went without substituting. Wait, no. I did sit out one game but it didn't last long because after one half of the game I got called by my fellow team mate to take over her spot. Silly girl =) Hehe! This weekend is going to be a pretty busy weekend especially on Sunday when I've got the whole day dedicating my time to the girls- on court and off =) We've got netball in the morning which will go on until a good chunk of the afternoon and later that night the girls have arranged a rendez vous at Tinseltown for Tiyah's and Mimi's farewell dinner. It's been awhile since us ladies have had a proper meal together but for the sole purpose of the occasion to be a formal bidding adieu to the newly graduates, I can only imagine the night to be bittersweet. *sniff* I'm going to miss you two!!

I wish I were the type of blogger who can start of with something as simple as what they had for breakfast and then eventually go on a tangent and talk about an issue so profound it takes up so much brain power that you just need to end the post. Lol. Just a thought.

Been receiving random phone calls from Kerry lately. Silly boy! He asked me the silliest questions! Are you one of those girls who take their bras off before sleeping? Gee, give me a second to think about that. Rofl! Ok. Doll is sleeping on my bed. Lets see what happens when I jack up the volume to some heavy rock music!

[Currently Addicted To: Crying Out For Me by Mario]

Ne-Yo aka my hubby to be, has officially launched his new vid for Go On Girl. Don't mind if I say.. YUMMMMMMMMEEEEEEEEEE!!!! Ahh! The way he gestures to every word of the lyrics is so cute! And don't even get me started on his glasses. Just when I thought he couldn't get any hotter.. damn.. bless his parents.. hahahahahaha..

"I'm the one you promised you would love but you got ahead so far away..."


It's pretty sad what happened to Britney Spears. The breaking news here around the U.S have officially claimed that Britney Spears has not only lost her mind after kidnapping her own son and later rushed to the hospital, but more importantly she has officially lost custody of both her children. So let this be a lesson to us all.

With that said, my only advice to you, my reader, is this: Be careful, my friend. The higher you try to climb the social ladder, the harder you'll fall. And trust me when I say you will fall. In the end, you'll lose the ones you love because everything good you used to represent to them will only begin to seem as clear as the muddy waters. Just ask yourself this. Was it all worth it?..

My holidays have been SMASHING so far and it's only about to get better baby =) I'll blog about everything when I've recovered from all the excitement as soon as I get back to New York k? Happy New Year's everyone! xx

Wats new pussycat? =)

Sorry for not updating as much as I should. It's been snowing almost every day here in New York which is a drag for me because I don't manage well in the cold and snow seems to make my mood worse. Rawr. Daddy's off to Orlando tomorrow so we've had our week carefully planned in order to be able to spend some quality time with Daddy. Since the first day of our arrival we pretty much made it a priority to plan some sort of project for us to do each day. The highlight of the week was definitely road tripping to New Jersey where we went on a shopping excursion at Woodburry Common. I mean, nothing beats shopping with your family right? =) Two things I love gelled into one! =) Speaking of shopping, today my sisters were practically possessed over the new collection of Coach boots. Unlike my sisters, I'm not exactly a shoe-person. My fetish leans more to clothes! =) So I sat at the store for ages while my very indecisive sisters satisfied their cravings for new boots. And because they bought more than they could carry, guess who ended up carrying some of the stuff. Rawr. It wasn't easy shuffling through clothes at F21 with a heavy carrier bag but the fact that I found some hot clothes almost made me forget about the weights hanging from my arm. After that we dragged our heavy load to Times Square where we met up with Daddy at Red Lobster to celebrate our parents' 24th wedding anniversary. Bless =)

Ena and Pattee will be arriving tomorrow. I feel bad for them because they're not exactly going to be in the hands of the best navigator around aka moi. Lol. I can only take them as far as Macy's and Times Square because I'm ignorant when it comes to directions. They're better off buying a map and hey who knows. They'll probably end up showing ME how to get around New York. Heehee~

I have a bad tummy ache =( So I've made myself a nice hot cuppah tea coupled with a dose of Midol =) I've been tossing and turning in bed for.. hours. When it comes to me and bedtime, it's been a constant losing battle for me. It's so bad I don't even think that whatever it is that I'm experiencing can be classified as insomnia anymore. Funny that, because I looove to sleep. But when the time comes, I realize that my eyes are practically begging me to shut them. It's my mind that starts to wander off ultimately keeping me awake. I think I need to see a therapist. Lol. The closest I can describe the feeling to is stress, and even that is quite a stretch! People tell me not to stress myself out, but reallyyy- how can you stop yourself from stressing out? It's something that can't be helped! It's a subconscious feeling- something you just cannot control, try as you might. It's like the time I ran away from this monkey in Bali (don't ask!), people kept telling me (or yelling at me rather!), "Don't be afraid of it otherwise it'll sense your adrenaline and it WILL go after you."But how could I not be afraid of it if that was already my natural feeling? I couldn't help but to feel afraid. Did they expect me to flick some switch that would automatically take away that fear of.. monkeys? In the end the monkey bit my leg, but I'll save that story for another day. Lol. But back to my point, it's the same with stress. I don't choose to be stressed out. It's not a choice. If there was an OFF button which could shut down all my senses of stress trust me when I say I would switch it off in a heartbeat. All the signs of lack of sleep are really starting to show. Grr.

I've booked a hair appointment for tomorrow morning. Yippee! I'm finally getting my hair cut. Well actually, it was a spur of the moment decision. Lol. I'm going to *hopefully* be brave enough to sport a short do since it's the closest thing I'll ever do to shaving my head! My ends are dry you see so I have no choice but to cut inches worth of tresses. Then I'll be left with just the healthy bits! =) Besides, I must look presentable for the parents, no? =) Heehee~ I'm such a dork. Speaking of which, this weekend me and the sisters will be busy running errands. Daddy wants a painting (I shall leave that to the twin since I have no sense of art what so ever!) and Mummy wants something from Top Shop- that, i can do! Yes my Mummy is very snazzy. Most of the time, I find myself having trouble keeping up with her =)

Well, I think I might take another dose of Midol and maybe some sleeping pills oh and not to forget my iron supplements. Haha. I sound like a pill popping psycho... who desperately needs to be thrown in a nut house. Lol.

Yesterday during my sushi lunch I received a txt from my very funny Usu. It read, "A'kum Girl. I saw you on the news." *Cringe* I can only assume my Usu was talking about RTB's coverage of Sunday's Ziarah event. True enough I was screaming to myself when I caught it online the moment I got home. Lets just say the fact that I wanted to saw off my feet from the pain my heels were causing, was exposed through my facial expression. Haha. It was bad enough that I was standing in the very front but people were constantly shoving me that I had no choice but to stand well over the boundaries of the white masking tape marked on the floor so it's no wonder the camera didn't miss me. Damn. That shot was definitely not my most flattering candid. Lol.

Today after class I rushed to Nando's because my sisters and I made a deal that the last one to arrive would be the one buying the drink! Lol. From Aldgate to Bayswater, I had to change tubes in between because of the signal failures here and there, I then had to walk from the station to Nando's which is clearly further than the bus stop to Nando's, and I still managed to get there FIRST. My twin on the other hand got there last but the other sister ended up paying for the drink anyway. Haha. Begok banget sih! =) Honestly girls. You should've arrived first! Seriously. Consider time management. Lol. Tsk tsk. We decided to browse around Whiteleys and picked up a few necessities from La Senza ;) I hardly go there but like I said- necessaries. Lol. As we were strolling past the stalls a salesman for this really pretty heating gadget approached us and started to get all cheeky. Pfft. Should I have expected the free goodies worth 30pounds he ended up giving my sisters and me? Haha! But I love it so much! It's this cute mold that turns into some sort of gel which heats up in seconds with a click of a button. Something handy that'll keep me warm on the plane since blankets are never enough =) And it can even turn into some sort of an ice cooler or something. I really don't know how to explain it but go to Whiteleys and check it out =)

I'm the worst person to come to when seeking advice. I don't know why but I never seem to have any moments of brilliance when it comes to comforting friends. It's really hard for me because I don't want to come off as someone who doesn't listen because I do! If anything, that's what I do best- listen. In any case, I hope you take care of yourself well in Brunei. You deserve this holiday so forget about everything else and enjoy the sun, the food, and the company of your girls. I suck at giving advice but I do know that those are always the perfect remedy to any maladies that fester in a girl's soul =) Mwahs.

Wee! Counting the days til I finally get to touch American soil. Since I'll be studying for my exams over the Christmas break I can always vent my stress and frustration on shopping =) Why do I get the feeling that I won't get much work done? Lol. The sales have started early this month and my Mummy has been telling me about her crazy shopping sprees! I want Kate Moss's Ugg boots- only US$40. I want Victoria's Secret jammies. I want jewellery from Tiffany's! And that's only because they're having a major sale and the rings go as low as US$100! NICE! Excited much? Lol.

London's encroached with transitters since Ziarah's taking place tomorrow. I'm usually alright with them being around but when they're stomping across the halls, or when their shrilling voices and laughs especially can be heard from the entrance of Brunei Hall to my room (and bear in mind that I am on the 4th floor!) that's when I usually try to control my devil horns from emerging because I will complain. Lol. I just don't know how they manage to keep at a loud volume from dusk til dawn because it seems like their voice boxes are permanently set to the highest of pitches! If it's one thing that really annoys me, its boisterous people- I can't stand that. It makes me want to stick a fork in their eyeball. I'm sure their screams will be music to my ears compared to their cackling laughs =) Oops. Sorry for the hostility but there's only so much sleep I can lose all because of some.. silly kids.

/PMS mode off

=)

I finally recieved a reply from my chosen Inn of Court for the Bar and I'm please to say that I've been accepted to Lincoln's Inn =) On the other end of the spectrum, what that means is that my Ziarah kachings will most probably be used to pay the fee as a confirmation for my place at the Inn. I know it's money well worth spent but I can't help but to feel bummed out about being left with 65 165pounds while others will still have their 150 250 still crisp and..whole. =P Or will they? Haha! Naw. I'm sure they're not as reckless as I am when it comes to splurging. =)

I hate filling out applications. And what's an application if it doesn't include the very much dreaded question- 'Why.' Why should we consider you for this job. Why do you choose this university. Why do you choose law as a career path. Snore. Maybe I'm lacking enthusiasm but that one question totally put me off applying for the Bar. It was definitely a wake up call because honestly I don't know why I'm even dreaming about pursuing the BVC. Hmm. It's quite disturbing.

Flying off to New York soon. I'm so very excited. I haven't flown to New York for Christmas break in a while! It's always been during Easter and Summer of course. Boxing Day in New York's going to be a blast! I've been browsing through the sites of the places where I normally shop and I've already targeted any potential purchases. Lol. Yes I'm quite the eager beaver! Hehe.

Birthday wishes to Alyaa and Hasrul!
Miss youse and much love to you both! xx


What's been up? Lets see..

I'm a self proclaimed non-smoker now =) Well not really. Lol. These days my daily intake of nicotine have been in the form of patches. And to my own disbelief I'm doing fairly well! Before you roll your eyes in doubt, I should mention that I am on a strict non-smoking regime which means that I have been scheduled to be monitored weekly by a nurse at the clinic. Whow. From the lengths of it all, I feel like a druggie or something. Why must I be monitored? How very dare they! Lol. It took a while for me to adjust to the patches. Never mind the expected effects of going cold turkey, but the patches left me with a whole other dimension of reactions! My entire arm would feel like one giant funny bone that's being constantly tapped by somebody. Not exactly the most comfortable feeling! I would feel light headed and wouldn't be able to function properly. But I will tell you what would always seemed to function properly- my ability to talk! I would start babbling the night away and most of the time I would be talking out of my ass! Doesn't it scare you when you can't control what you say? Especially when you're around the wrong people. Lol. But other than that, the patches are a delight ;)

Hmm. Nothing else is worth mentioning at the moment. =)

Like my new layout? I don't =( Everything's too cramped for my liking. Oh well. I guess I'll be changing the layout soon.

Ignore my last post. Lol. My account was acting up again and for some reason my last (proper) post wouldn't publish until I posted another entry. And frankly I wasn't in the mood to delete the unwanted post. Teehee.

I'm sure you're all dying to know what happened with what's-his-face and if not, well you should be! Haha. Joking. I decided to bury the hatchet when I accepted his apology. Yes he had redeemed himself with a valid apology and clawed his way back to my good books. Ekekekeke!

It's finally Friday! I don't have anything major planned for the weekend but I have accepted Nanakins' invitation to her open house! I wonder what menu she's going to have prepared! Whatever it is she's whipping up, I'm sure she's going to have us addicted! Nyum! Assuming that my roomie comes back either today or tomorrow, we've decided to make our way to Reading Sunday morning. How exciting! I've never been one to venture out of London. The only other place I've ever been to is, Nottingham which doesn't really count. I'd hardly call annual trips to Brunotts an experience especially since it limits us to the Sports Center. Besides, I used to live in Nottingham so nothing new there since technically I was still on my turf. LOL! Since my first year here I've been really keen on visiting Birmingham and Manchester so I've made a promise to stop by those places sometime this year :) Anyone willing to host lil ol me? Hee! I hope I'll have the time to take a tour around Reading because Nana's been praising Reading's city centre. Nana has been insisting that we make a stop at the Oracle- Reading's own version of the "Dah Mall." Hahahahahhahaha! Let's just hope the crowd at the Oracle doesn't consist of girls dressed in either goth if not very skimpy attire ;) Happy Friday everyone!

smitten once again.. *wink wink*

This weekend was full of surprises and I'm not talking about the good kind. To amplify the situation I was (and still am) PMs'ing so my emotions were taking its toll! Even though I tried not to let my anger get the best of me, I completely forgot about all the other emotions that come with PMS which can be equally as empowering. I'm not just talking about that familiar feeling of wanting to snap at someone for no damn reason but the total opposite of feeling in control (if you wanna call it that!) to feeling no control at all. I'm talking about breaking down into a sob fest! Lol! Ok I admit, I have an extreme case of PMS alright! But it's genetic I swear! My sisters are the same! (Yes I'm taking you both down with me! Lol.)

Was talking to several galpals this weekend and I noticed how the subject of ex'es creeped its way into a lot of the conversations. Which almost ALWAYS never happens. Lol. Talking about your ex'es is like the time you crashed your car: dents in your life, never to be spoken of again. Funny thing is, I too had my own disappointing encounters with the men of my past...

As you've noticed I rarely write about any of my relationships because obviously it wouldn't be fair on his part. I mean, the guy does deserve his privacy. Lol. I've also learnt from the past that there are people out there who for some strange reason feel they should assert their contemptuous minds by mocking other people's business and I wouldn't want my love life, among other things, to be open to that sort of treatment. So in terms of my relationships no matter how tempted I sometimes get, to brag about "precious" *blush* moments or to pour out issues surrounding our petty arguments, I hardly ever do. Lol. BUT...

I will talk about an ex boyfriend only because I'm confident that aside from the 2 of you, none of you will really ever figure out which ex boyfriend I'm talking about. And because there is still that question of who-what-where-when for the rest of you (if you do happen to try to figure out who the mystery man is, that is!) then I'm pretty sure that I haven't negated my principles in terms of preserving the other party's privacy =) One of my ex boyfriends decided to randomly give me a call this weekend. Talking to him was not exactly the perfect way to launch my very much awaited weekend. Lets just say he was a terrible boyfriend and after that phone call I discovered that he was an even worse friend. It was especially hard for me because I'm used to a more amicable approach when it comes to my ex'es which was definitely the case with the others. I don't know if my emotions clouded my better judgment but I'm sure I would've realized sooner or later what type of person he really is. How he really perceives our 'friendship', for want of a better word, was bound to emerge if not now then later and I'm partially glad I reacted the way I did because he basically deserved an earful from me thanks to my raging hormones. Lol. But anyway, I'll leave it at that. =( It was a good thing my sisters and I left for dinner right after because I needed something to distract me from the unfortunate phone call. We met up with the brothers at Kings Cross fashionably late. Lol. It had been awhile since we all gathered for a meal at Addis, a great place for Ethiopian dining. Last year we made weekly trips to the place and it only left us craving for more- hence the weekly trips. Hehe. But that night was our first trip in a while and I missed everything about it. I must say, eating a giant crepe with your hands can be refreshing.

Right before I snuggled in bed that night another person from my past decided to haunt me! And I'm thinking, what is this, Asshole Weekend?? Excuse my French! Hehe! He texted me announcing that he would be in the country in 2 days! I never would have imagined this moment in a million years because after the way we left things (and no we did not go out) I would think he would have deleted my number, which was what I did! Hehehehehhee. (Mind you- that didn't really help since he had one of those golden numbers which are just impossible to forget!) I ignored his messages and any attempts of reconciliation but it didn't help that he continued his txting marathon til the next morning. Rawr. Whatever his motive is, I guess I'm just not interested anymore. Or.. maybe I should reply him. Experience builds character and boy have my experiences taught me a thing or two about how to mind fuck a man. I mean, revenge is so childish. You got to step it up a bit ;)

On a brighter note, application to the Bar officially opens today. I don't know what it involves but after completing the Inns of Court application, I know I'm definitely in for yet another stressful procedure. Running around looking for potential authorities to produce an impressive reference can be difficult. Sigh. Wish me luck!

Haru~ Selamat Hari Raya to all! For those who travelled all the way to London to celebrate Raya I hope you've been making the most of it. Mainly because this year doesn't seem as festive as last year and the year before. Every year on the first morning of Raya, Brunei Hall has never failed to provide a feast for the students at the dining hall. We all thought this year would follow suit but a tray'ful of popia dumped at the reception sure doesn't come close to how our Mama's would've liked us to celebrate our first day of Raya! =P I mean, a tray of mee goreng and maybe ayam goreng would've sufficed, no? In any case this year I haven't exactly been taking an active interest in celebrating Raya to begin with. I did however genuinely accept Aunty Kiah's (or should I say, Mama K!) personal lunch invitation on Saturday. Just being at her home was everything Raya should be- simple as that. She greeted us with pineapple tarts, and for lunch she stuffed us with satay (yum!), ketupat, rendang, chicken, acar, rojak and nasi minyak. As if that wasn't enough, after we decided we couldn't have another bite Aunty Kiah brings out dessert! The ambiance also was perfect because it was just us. Everything was.. magicial? =) And I'm so grateful to her and her family for the gesture! <3

I've been in a bleak mood for the past week so I was in depsperate need for a little pick-me-up. Which was why I couldn't reject Trah's and Vivian's offer to have a crepe lunch after class yesterday at south Kensington. We couldn't decide whether we felt like having the savory or the dessert because everything was just so mouth watering! While the 2 girls settled for dessert I on the other hand was in the mood for a savory =) Plus, for some reason, I was shivering on a very sunny day so dessert would probably not have been a good idea. Trah was convinced that I was sick because I had my jacket on the entire time but I insisted that I was fine. I guess I was wrong! As soon as I got home I found myself out like a light as I crashed in bed. I noticed that I was feeling quite flushed so I popped some paracetemol every couple hours when I would wake up. That pretty much did the trick! =)

Girly.It's all in the name =) Bruneian'Sporean. But London'NewYork. Ditch the bling blings and the flashy clothes. If you can look like a million bucks in a white tshirt and jeans- you're already a star. Kittykats make the world go round. Make cupcakes, not war.
