ZzZzZzzzz... I'm soo tired, but I gonna get this entry's done.
One, cos I'm gonna be at my class chalet for the enxt 3 days. Wild, wild wild.
Two, cos I'm gonna forgot today's events after the chalet.
So, here here... I woke up extra early to get started. Only to get a message that the meeting time is changed from 11 30 to 1 00. I was already running late cos I was having a late breakfast, my hair was flying around and was looking around the house for some clips and I couldn't decide what shoe to wear. Then only when I'm heading to the train, I got a call from Yana and he told me that now meet at 1 30 cos apparantly, he was still at home. Lol!
I arrived at Jurong East early, despite telling Yana yesterday that I were to come fashionably late so that Nurul can tease Yana when she sees what colour I'm wearing. Bwahahah. He's wearing the same colour as me, and I soo am not gonna change. Like wth right? Anyway, Nurul looked adorably adoring with her brand new haircut. At some point, she really looked like a typical Mak Bedah, aahahahh.
First stop was to Zak's house. Gosh, the mee was spicy, hahaha, cannot tahan. And Zak gave us collection money.. how sweet... feel kinda guilty that I'm not giving some to my friends ... not!! Heheheh, but it really is a sweet gesture =) Next was to Nurul's house. There, we took lots and lots of piccies. Funny pics, cute pics, extra cute pics and weird pics. Hahhaha. There's one pic where if Zak, who was sittin gonthe sofa sloppily, had her smile and the common 'twist' hand sign gone, she would looked like a drug junkie.. hahhaha lol!
Next stop, Hougang. Like real 'next stop'; from Lakeside all the way to Hougang.. eeyah. Hee, anyway, Mom came back home already so I told them that they can still go to my place after Yana's. There, we were watching the Jutawan Fakir, haha, funny. Nurul borrowed from Yana. Also, he showed us the 13 inch (is that right?) The Crow doll. Creepy-looking, ha, as usual. But pretty cool I guess. Hahha, yeah, pretty cool. Do they have a Britney doll too? =D Over at my place, Afir was being soo miang. The self-confessed 'sexy boy' was jumping behind me and playing and all. But he still shy shy to talk to them. He even asked me, 'Where is puceng?" He pronounced it as puh-cheng! I was like,.. whoo? Puceng? ... Ohhh!! Pocong!! Hahah, that's Yana! Lol!
Taufik looked (ahhh!) so wonderful on the poster from Lime. Ahhh!! Hotness.
Other than that, I guess that's it. Ohh.. my eyes.. they're.. droppingg... see ya all this weekend!! Buh byee

Something smells funny. Chalet's coming and I'm hearing weird stuffs. But all coming from Yana, I expect it to be weird, but I think he cannot tahan anymore hahaha, he hinted abit. Seems like it's going to be a wild 3-day outing. And I'm going home a traumatised person. Oh somebody save me. Pleaseeee...
Anyway, tomorrow I'm going to meet Zak, Nurul and Yana for our raya-ing. Sad that can't go to my house since no one gonna be at home. Oh well... oh geeee...

It's agreeable that Olinda's performances are lacking the 'oomph' factor and getting more boring each week. Yea, she sings well, coughtbetterthanslycough, but it can be a lil' bland. Truth hurts. Taufik will most probably stand the chance to win the title if it was a Taufik/Olinda showdown. However, now that it is Taufik/Sly (!!!), it's kinda hard since the teeny girls are going mad with their handphones lately. Sly may steal (how sly is that, huh?) the title away from Taufik because of this annoying screaming girls. Yea, yea, you liked him, but please, it's beginning to scraem at the sound of their names!! Oh whatever.
I just fear that because of the existence of such girls (note: them being so look very rude and disrespectful when someone is trying to talk. Heck, they even hopelessly 'devoted' to Sly, not themselves overall), Taufik will be screwed over. Yikes! Argh. I'm in the neutral zone where I'm overly excited to see Taufik in the grand final, but sourly (yes, that's the right word) shocked to see Sly in. Who in the right mind... Oh blardy whatever. I'm sick and tired of hearing Sylvester's 'rock-ish' voice. Please don't try too hard.
Hey, you could say that I'm being bias. But this is my opinions and views. Sorry if all of these are needles poking into your eardrums, but I state what's in my mind. And what's in my mind now is that I'm worried. I'm truly, truly worried.
[/sgidol]
What a drama mama I can be sometimes, eh? ;)
Oh well, at least we all know something. Who's gonna win Singapore Idol? It's gonna be a guy.

It was a whirlwind trip to JB yesterday.
Inside Woodlands Checkpoint, Afir went for his turn to pass his passport. Somehow, the guy keep on flipping, then called my dad. I was done with mine and was wondering what telah happened, you know. It took awhile for them to be done. Once done, Dad started laughing and told us that Afir need to change photo. Apparantly, there's already a message written inside his passport, "Change photo!" twice. Like how the hell are we suppose to know such messages when the someone didn't acknowledge to him or at least my Dad the last time we went to JB that there's a message? Stupid. And Afir was freaked out cos he's so afraid of being left behind and had to go back, haa! Who wouldn't recognise that the photo of the cute fella with more baby cheeks is indeed Afir. Oh whatever laa.
Went there to visit Wak Miah. She was there when it happened, so she can't stop laughing. And so, she teased Afir non-stop, till Afir merajuk and refused to talk to anyone. Hahahah, adorable adorable adorable.
Taxi drivers in Malaysia are careful. They know that they can't take passengers more than 5.. no? Around there. But, thanks to Dad, he said to the driver that he'll pay more if he agreed to take all 6 of us after we left Wak Miah's house. Tsk, tsk. But I ain't complaining =) Just that, I doubt we can try that in Singapore =)
Was having dinner at Woodlands when Idol started. But the radio was blaring, so we couldn't hear the tv. But thanks to tv mobile and 89.3fm :] I was listening to the whole thing while having dinner and walking to the bus stop. So I'm bound to laugh and smile to myself whenever the judges made funny remarks. Douglas "Give Me More" O still cannot judge properly. Somebody please kick him in the butt. And Ken's comment is getting.. stranger and weirder, what the hell is he talking about. And yeaah! All four judges like all of Taufik's 3 songs. I can't wait to watch it at home. Before leaving for JB, I had set the timer to record Idol. :D Wheee!!
Now, the next funny thing... we were waiting for the bus. 170 came, but Dad didn't want to ride on it cos it's crowded. But when the bus drove pass us, there were empty seats at the back..!! Then he said take bus to Woodlands and take 168 to Bedok. Butttt, all the buses that terminates at Woodlands INT pass us constantly. I was thinking that Dad wanted to take the bus to Woodlands...? Then he said he don't know, so he still wanted for another 170. Gosh!! Troublesome onlyyy. When 170 came, it was more crowded, but we just bought on it. Then it went ... weird. The bus stopped at Woodlands Checkpoint. Like what the..? And I went laughing uncontrollably. There, on the side of the bus, says "Larkin". It wasn't the bus we wanted to ride onnn. Waaa... Mom got pissed, lol.. cos she had to walk more, ahhha. And she got more pissed when the bus back to Queen Street took foreverrrrrrrrrr to arrive. I thought, heck, so what if it's late, it's not as if I got work tomorrow.. which is today...
What a wrong thought.. =/ Got a message asking me whether I can come down to work today. I had no idea why I told my dad, and now, he's pestering me to go work since I don nothing at home.. heheheh. Oh well.. it's later, suppose to leave home 8 minutes ago, and I'm still not dressed properly..
And the horrorrrr! Once back home, I realised that there wasn't any tape inside the VCR!! Like, what are the possibilities of setting the timer, but not checking whether there's a tape inside? Oh.. the horror, the horror... but thankfully, I had listened to the show via 89.3fm.. but even if I hadn't, I'll still vote for Taufik. You should too! It's a Taufik/Olinda competition, so vote accordingly, yar? :DD

I heart this kueh!! Anyone knows how to make them? :D
Rigghttt... big summary of the events from the past 3 days...
Day One. Was tiring overall, but that's normal for the first day of raya. Tired. Walk here, walk there. Only then did my dad said that he'll sewa a bus next year. Aiyooo. Bus, not those mini van.. the bigggg one. Cos relatives are tagging along. And I have lots of them. Plus all the kiddies. Oooh... the kiddies! Hahah. So the adorable! I have grown attached to twins Danial and Ain. So attached that they called me Nenek instead of Bibik. !! Nooo.. not nenek! Bibikk! "Nenek!" Then they giggled and continued to say Nenek. And wow, they too have grown attached to me especially. When Ain saw me, she ran to me, flunged her arms around my neck, her legs around my waist and stayed there, never letting go. She won't let me put her down so I can have a taste of Wak Mas' yummy lontong. Even if I managed to, she'll ran to me and cling to my leg asking for "Konnggg! Koong!" Which actually means 'dukung'. And when Danial finally saw me.. woaaahh.. two kids holding onto my leg, each wanting to kong. Then, there was the time where I constantly took the time to take piccies. At rumah Tok Lang, there's this Harley Davidson in his front yard and everyone, including dad, wanted to take a pic on it. Wheee.. it was coooll!
Day Two. Another day of jumping from one point of Singapore, to another point in Singapore. At one point, it was from the east to the west, then back to the east. Can collapse one..And again, the twins were jalan-jalan-ing with us. They are a cute duo. I personally adore this picture of them, sooo sweeet. And when Ain cried, she ran towards my sis and asked her to pick her up and sayang her cos she's crying. But when she couldn't find my sis, she ran to me and the usual, manja-manja. Was comforting her, looking at the fishes. Then when it's time to go, she wouldn't let go, her legs won't touch the ground when I lowered her. Then started crying some more, aiyoo. Next time you see me again oki? Confirm! And yea, missed them in the bus, but once arrived at rumah Nek Ngah, my other favourite pair of twins were there. Aren't they cute?? Unlike Danial and Ain, Atiqah and Batrisah are kinda difficult to pin point. Have to ask them which on is adik and which on is kakak. And yea, in here, the adik is on the left and so Batrisah is on the right =) It was chaotic in that house, everyone was there. So noisy. So many "dah lama tak jumperrrr!" "eh, dah besarnyerrr" "sekolah maner?" , ish ish, and strangely, the aunties are conversing in english.. freaky! Lol!
Day Three. Which is today..well, Afir's friends' Mom, also my Mom's friends, came by our house. And one of them asked for the phone. She went over to this phone. This phone is just for display. So she kept on dialing and asked why no tone one. Hahahha, I cannot help but laughed along. Other than that, today just relak. Not going out, my blisters are still healing.. ouch.. And also spending the day creating this new layout. So happy with it. Yesh, I'm obsessed with them, they're cuteness, so what? =) Oh well, I'm pretty glad the layout doesn't take too long to make.. haha. I used to take such a lonnnggg time to make a new one :p My bad, my bad.
Awright then.. here's the photos. Bwahha, most of them are of me, lol. But what the heck. I'm holding the camera, :p Click this and enjoy ;-)

A happy and exciting reunion for the potek gang, minus Sara who's away in Thailand for a 'special training', hehehee. Met them all at Paya Lebar, and I immediately took notice of Nurul's hair. It really looks cool, the shortness is different, the style is different, she looked different! Haha, and really, it made her look the kid among the 4 of us. It was an entertaining trip. First went to 2nd chance to look for a baju kurung for Zak's kid brother. Then went to this 'This Budget' outlet.. everything inside is This Fashion, have no idea why they call themselves that.. so... obit, hehe. And Yana picked out this black shirt and wore it on the spot, and he was going "Do I look good? Do I look good? ... Man.. I look goooooddddd." Hahah, then we went around the shop, we looked at everything, commented on some. It was funny. Nurul found this tube and said, "Yana, try this skirt ah." And Zak was like, noo, it's a tube!! And she paiseh-ly put the tube back and smiled sheepishly. Then Yana picked out this denim number and asked us what it is. We told him that it's a dress, and he didn't believed us, lol, he was .. hhuuh? "This one dress ah? Dress mahh...?"
And off we went to Geylang. Was walking around, looking and looking, but still have not found a baju kurung. However, inside the bazaar itself, we were walking around, I found this nice baju kurung and asked Zak to come over. I picked it out, then I saw the price on it and put it back and whispered to Zak that the price is not nice. But then, she went in front of the clothes stand and pointed at a small board. It says "$99 ... $48." Heeheh. But managed to find another one at a cheaper price. Nurul's bargain skills are good. I actually thought I was standing next to a 'makcik' when she bargained, ha! But you're no makcik.. you're a cute kid :D
And the funny thing after that, we walked back to Tanjong Kantong Complex. There, Zak was looking for sofa covers and she picked out this 3 honestly odd colours. Seriously, I myself will not buy those kind of colours, lol! Nurul said to Zak that if she want to obit, obit all the way ah. Ahahha.. Next, we were making our way to Singapore Post when we spotted this henna stand. We looked for awhile, then this lady gave us this thick folder of all kinds of design. Yana and Zak got interested when the lady said they do tribal designs as well. She said that she uses black henna for those designs, and it will look like a real tattoo. They wanted to do it and started looking for a design. Me and Nurul looked at another folder and we too decided to want one, a normal henna tattoo. I went for this star-like design that starts around the upper-side of the wrist and travels towards the index finger. It's lovely. Nurul too have a similar design, but with a 'butterfly' concept. I say it looked a lil' bit like a stickman, hehe :p. I'm not too sure how to describe Zak's and Yana's. Zak had hers on the inside of her wrist and it looked really cool, and true, like a real tattoo. When Yana had his, he pretended to have this 'scared' look, haha! And Nurul caught it on camera, bwaaahha. You know what my Mom say when she saw that pic? "Mat maner ni?" My laughters in the background. "Macam mat selenge." LOL!! It was soo funny, she was taken aback really, when she saw that pic, and that's the first thing she said.. ahaha. aiyoh, this fella ah? Only can have the mat gundu title ah, hahahha.
Mat Gundu : hmm... : zak's cooooll : nice : butterflyy : noi : yana : zak : me
On the way to Singapore Post, Nurul's henna got smudged abit. Yana helped to wipe the smudges, then they move apart and I saw something black on Nurul's arm. I pointed at it, then looked at Yana's. Bwhahwhhaha, while helping, Yana's got smudged as well. But his was smudged quite badly I guess. Tried to wipe it away, but can't, it was drying already. Hahhaha, but it looked alright ah. Now, Nurul got one 'lebam' on her arm, thanks to Yana, hahaha. Went into the This Fashion and Zak was truly amazed at how big the store was. She was really awwed. So funny looking at her like that, hhhehe. Then we tried on some sunglasses and I started posing like Paris Hilton, with her pouting lips and all. Classic, yay! Too bad no photo, ha. Then we went to the shoe side, and we started throwing shawls all over Yana. He looked like a 'wrong' mat. If he were to have long hair, he'll look like a mat/minah. Lol.. if you get what I mean.. ;) And off he went to work. We 3 girls sat outside LJS and I started peeling the henna off and thus, making a mess on the table. Looked like bird poops, =) Then I remember, I forgot to buy mom her kacang gajus, another reason for coming to Geylang. Oh nooo, I'm not going back to Geylang,.. shucks!
So that was yesterday. Today, ... hmmm... I woke up late. Very late. Suppose to leave home at 8:30 but woke up at 8:40. I couldn't remember anything. I was sitting there.. looking throuhg my half-opened eyes and wondered out aloud, "What am I suppose to do now? Eh.. I'm suppose to do something.... what is it... OMG! WORK!!" Had to take a cab there, shucks.And I came with this flower-like clip o nmy head cos I couldn't find my usual purple clip. And I'm not sure why but the rest seems very fascinated by it. Keep on calling me "Mawar", "Rose" and even "Hawaiian Girl". Quiet creepy when Khairul came forward, asked me to turned to the side while he looked at the 'flower' and said looked nice. Lol.. seriously.. it was creepy, ahaha.Then came the crowd. Cannot tahan. So many requests from the customer
not from the que. Keep on asking for water or milk or serviettes. Thankfully, Johnson came in and he helped me out. It was quite a mess on the counter, chocolate powder everywhere. And when I finally punched out, I ran into Asyik. Eek! Still haven't talk properly to him. Honestly, I'm waiting for him to at least say something cos I already made that dishwashing comment,.. ok the dishwashing comment was stupid, but I made an attempt, ha!
Now,.. after that looooong entry, it comes down to this..
Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri semua! Maaf zahir dan batin, harap semua kesalahan Liza dihalalkan, orite? :D Happy collecting duit rayer, ah? Enjoy your day now that you can eat freely, hahaha!

Wheeee, Idol rocks soo much. Wheee. Vote for Taufik, alright? Yesh, yesh :D Sly.. my gawd... his face.. reminds me fo Jerry when he's singing! Yikes! Oh whatever, I think I'm seeing through his fakeness. He kinda have this "Aww, thanks girls.. here's one song for you to make me vote for me, alright?" Bluek.. like whatever.. he seems different tonight. Daph sounds cute singing I Believe, haha, I was actually laughing watching her sing that. And when it comes to Taufik.. ooooo. And when Florence spoke in malay to him.. bwahahaha. I blurted out with laughter so loud, I can hear my echoes around the neighbourhood, lmao! And I had recorded it cos the family was away, and when they came back and watched that part, the whole family broke out in laughter. I even saw a smile on my dad's face! My gawwdd! He's smiling! Lol.. he doesn't smile that often, heheh.
Ha, I predicted right, it was a rush today. I actually felt assured, lol.. I have no idea whyy. Anyway, I was doing all of the iced-drinks. And when I had to present the drinks to the customer, Nora was like "Wait Liza.. I haven't finish the hot drink.. you slow down ar..not fair." Lol, it was so farnie. Nora just went for espresso course and she was so confuzzled at the espresso station. She was literally shouting at me not to do so fast and let her finish first, then I can do, lol, like wth? Heheh, eh, Yana, you can remember all of the recipes already? I challenged you, bwahaha. Ook, enough of corny stuffs already. Down to the part.. where it kinda.. made me slightly nervous... Ermmm
I found out about it on cafe's 1st birthday. Fira apparantly told me about it, and thus, everyone know. Did I mention about that incident where a pic of me posted at the crew room.. went missing? Fira told me he took it. Like .. what for? And today, the first time meeting him since I found out,..a month already. And I didn't know what to say to him, cos I'm not sure how to approach him. Pretend I didn't know? I don't think so cos everyone know now. Fira couldn't stand keeping that a secret from her own cousin. Aww, lurpe you too, but sometimes.. I kinda do not want to know certain stuffs, let them arise at an appropiate time. Cos now.. I kinda feel weird around him. After he came in, I went over to do dishwashing. He did lobby. He came over to pass the cups and all for washing. And I decided to speak up, I told him there's so many dishes to wash in an exaggerated way. And all he said was, yea, enjoy. Duuuhhh.. err what? I didn't what to say. You can say I had a blank expression on my face for a moment. Lol, it's pretty funny now that I'm recalling about it. Hahah. Ok, anyway, after that, I didn't talk to him, he didn't talk to me. An hour after he came in, it's my time to go off. I hang around with the girls at the back. Syla was asking around what's a good remedy to calm cramps. I told her tea. And she went exclaiming "Why tea..? Why everyone say teaaa?" Lol, that drama queen. Hahha, so cute. Then I went behind cafe to check my next schedule. Kath came in and sat down. She asked me why I didn't talk to Asyik. I just shrugged, and then she asked my if I was angry at him. What?! Why? Why did she think I was being angry with him.. was I? No,.. no nononon, I so wasn't. It's like.. in this kind of situation, if you found out that someone has a thing for someone, you know.. some people can still joke around, some can still act normal. I'm not.. I just go quiet.. cos... you're not sure how to react or be in front of him. And it's more difficult with him cos...... I treat him as my brother. A younger brother. And that's what it's so strange about..sure he's so farnie and friendly and all.. oh gosh.. I soo don't know what to think about this situation. What if Fira kept quiet longer? I'll still be joking around or scolding him not to do this and that? Oh man.... on and on I'll go.. I'll just stop here...
Tomorrow's another day. I shouldn't bring the concerns and worries from today to tomorrow, it'll just spoil it. I'm just gonna let the situation hang around in the air until Saturday when I meet him again. And another reason for me not to worry so much tomorrow cos I'm gonna be worrying more tomorrow. Mom wants me to wake up so early in the morning and go pasar. She warns me that I'll be carrying lots of groceries. Oh great. And to top it all, she wants me and sis to finally start on that kek marble. Aiyoyoy. And, the worst of all.. I already planned to wear my specially-designed (by yours truly, mind you ;)) kebaya when Mom told me it'll be ready after the 1st day of raya. Nooooo! Darn it, darn it, darn it. Issshh. And my hair.. there's got to be something done to it, strangely.. it's beginning to grow longer even faster ever since I got it chopped. What the... Ish ish ish. Oh well.. I got cheered up after reading this, bwaaahha, so funny. So if you're having a bad day, try having a read at this, mabe it can cheer you up like it cheer it up, hehhee.
The organs of the body were having a meeting, trying to decide who was in charge. Each organ took a turn speaking up...
Brain: I should be in charge because I run all body functions.
Blood: I should be in charge because I circulate oxygen for the brain.
Stomach:I should be in charge because I process food to the brain.
Legs:I should be in charge because I take the brain where it wants to go.
Eyes: I should be in charge because I let the brain see where it's going.
Asshole:I should be in charge because I get rid of your waste.
All the other parts laughed and made the asshole very mad. To prove his point, the asshole immediately slammed tightly closed and stayed that way for 6 days, refusing to rid the body of any waste whatsoever.
Day 1 - Brain got a terrible headache and cried out for relief
Day 2 - Stomach got bloated and began to ache terribly
Day 3 - Legs got cramps and became unstable
Day 4 - Eyes became watery and vision became blurred
Day 5 - Blood became toxic and poisoned the body
Day 6 - The other organs agreed to let the asshole be in charge.
The moral of the story...No matter who you are, or how important you think you are, you will find that it is always the asshole that is in charge!!
Hehehehehehehheehehhe

I think I should just stick to working on the weekend.. I'm more used to the rush than the quietness and calmness during the weekday. It feels ultra werid for me just to stand there and look at nothing yesterday during work. There weren't that many customers dropping by and all, and there were times, I just leaned against the wall and stare blankly.. really had nothing to do.. and it scared me at times. Eek. Oh well, tomorrow's a public day, it should be rushing.. no? I don't know.. I'm so not use to do nothing over there.. there has to be something to do if I'm there..
Allllright. I was woken up by my vibrating handphone, an sms from Alan, at such an hour (for me at least, :p), and I felt asleep again. Then, got a phonecall from Syahid, new manager for gwc mcd, asking me if I can come down and help cos only Fira is at cafe till 1pm. Wow. Opening all the way to noon rush is all her. Qin did not turned up, maybe mc again since yesterday he was mc. Shrugs. Oh well, Fira predicted right that Qin will not turn up, ha. But sorry girl, I just woke up and I was still sleeping when talking to Syahid so I don't think I can help out. 'Sides, I got plans already, hah. I'm sure you can handle with Aishah or Sam I guess. Yup yup. Firstly, went to Bedok to have my shoe fix,.. darn it, the shoe is considered new, but already the hell broke.. arghh! Then went back home to meet the rest of the family. As soon as I reached home, we were all about to leave for Geylang. And I took no time to wear my newly fixed shoe, yayness. Feels good to wear it, yippy. Anyway, Dad had to go to his workplace cos there's a meeting, so the rest of us went Geylang. Particularly Mom wanted to buy new raya clothes ever since she saw what we (me and sis) bought from our last Geylang trip, hehehe.
After buying clothes for both of the brothers, went to Parkway to meet Dad there and break fast. Dad was late, so we went ahead in. The shoe that sis bought the last time was a size smaller, so went back to change it. I had no idea why sis did not notice the obvious weirdness when she wore it, it's obviously too small for her, aiyoyoy. But then, the salesgirl said there's no more of that size and asked her to go to TM to get an exchange, like wth. I asked her to just pick a new one but she refused,.. ish ish.. degilnyer.. And earlier, Afir was upset cos I didn't let him go to 7-11, hah, so he was wearing that usual grumpy face. I took him to Swensens and asked him if he wanted the milkshake. He kept quiet. So I told him, "Okla, you don't want..." "Of course I WANT ahhhhhhh!!" Lol, the way he answered back.. had a lil' bit of scared-ness cos he really thought he won't get any, hahah, so the adorable. And he was back to his usual self after he got his drink. Went to Watson to buy stuffs, but in the end, didn't expect to buy Gary the Snail. Lol, Afir found the doll along with a SpongBob doll. The Gary doll is able to meow and do his usual meowings and purring in the show while SB can do the singing and talking. But I was surprised Afir picked Gary lol, and he persuaded Mom to buy it for him, ish ish.. Broke fast at Banquet, Dad came minutes later. What a hearty dinner, yummmy. Bought shoes after that, yippy, more shoeness. And we went off for home sweet home. Feet hurts.. CSI is airing.. gotta go. See ya next time...
And Happy Deepavali you all and my fellow Indian friends.. where did Sara go ah? What training? Hehhee..

I was already getting ready and stepped out of the house when I got a call from Nurul, askingme where I am. It was around 1:30pm at that time. I told her that I just stepped out of the house. "Oh.. no no no.. don't don't don't!" she replied. Ha, like what is she talking about? She told me that Zak didn't want to go in the end, so now since Zak and Yana not going, she said why not go at around 4pm like that. Oh dang, I already made plans with my mom and sis to go out. So it all comes down to our original plan to jalan jalan at Geylang being scrapped. Darrnn. I was looking forward to buy more raya clothes, eheh. So I stepped back into the house, like, very strange and told mom everything. Now she doesn't want to go out. What is going on?? So I waited for sis to come back from school. I initially left her a note in the room asking her to call me when she got back from school. She came back, went to the room and closed the door. She came back out, picked up the phone and called me. My phone was ringing next to me. I picked it up, answered it loudly and we talked across the phoneline. Like wth? Idiot. Then mom asked us to go buy another set of raya clothes. Ha, that means I'm still going to Geylang, bwahha.
Went to Tanjong Katong Complex there and we immediately picked out the ones we liked and started trying. If mom was there with us, we'll had been there longer, waiting for her to decide, ha, true, she will just take her own sweet time, until she realised that it's almost time to break fast, like what..? Ish ish.. After that, went to buy a box of bunga api for Firdaus since he's been pretty bored at home after breaking fast, poor boy. And can you believe that one big box is ten bucks already? Ish, ish, like whatever la, I'm not gonna fall for the scam. The box can be sold at a cheaper price and more people will buy it cos of the cheaper price, thus making a profit, aiyahh. Anyhoo, we decided to go to Parkway to break fast there. And at Swensens even, ehhe. Guys, we still got that voucher to use, after raya eh? So we won't feel so full the fast and then cannot finish everything, not gooddd. After breaking fast, we went around again, bought our shoes. I just love mineee. It has classy written all over it, eheh. And sis bought a size smaller, but she said it feels fine. Like how can it feels fine? You'll just gonna end up wearing it for a while cos it won't fit you anyway. So she's gotta go back and changed. And when mom looked at our new clothes, she asked sis to follow her go Geylang so she can buy one. Hahhaha, it would have been better if she had just come along in the first place right? Aiyaahh.. now sis got to go back, since I'm working tomorrow... or rather.. today. Yea, yea. I gotta get more money to cover whatever I spend last night, eargh.. Oh well, hope I'll get as many green packets as when I was a kid. Bwahaha, hmm.. will it happened? :D
Tag time.. hmm.. Daphne cute ah.. I can find her voice at an okay level, the whininess is not whiny for me, eehe. Sly? My god.. 'nuff said. Yesterday, I heard on the radio, Vernon A said there were only 3 left in the competition; Oli, Taufik and Daph. Bwahahah, I burst out laughing. Where's Sly? Hhahaa, either he's relly gone, or Vernon purposely put it that way, wahaha. Hope it's the former, heheh. And this week's theme.. why do they out Asian Pop when it's nearing the end? Like, I think the theme is not that ... likeable? And also, what kind of a theme that is man. I saw the trailer for it and Taufik spoke malay! Hahha, he sounds sexy when he talked in malay.. bwahah, and so I was right. They're gonna sing in their mother tongue languages, plus one english song by an asian singer.. again like wth? Find one good asian singer. That sings in english. =) And wonder what Leandra would sing if she wasn't out.. hehe.. both in english? Heheh. Oh well, better look out for Taufik's performance, it'll rock. :D Yana... you shaved your head... Thank god I didn't meet you yesterday. Phew! And you're gonna have a bald head for raya?! Oh goodness! Ish, ish...

What a lazy weekend. I think my lack of sleep has finally caught up with me and I was snoozing most of the time yesterday. Oh wells, now that exams are no more, I can find the time to just R&R. That is until my mom knocks on the door and asked me (more like demanded me) to help her bake raya goodies. I should be like going "oorrhhh, nooo" or something like that, but actually, baking cookies is fun too, yay. So far, we made two different kinds and one of them is so colourful; green and white, hhaa, kinda like the raya colours. So we call that 'biskut raya', hahaaa, ooh, how obvious, eh? =)
Anyway, was planning to go out with mom to today to buy raya shoes, but decided to go with the potek gang to Geylang instead. Heheh, we're going in the afternoon cos Zak and Yana have to go to work later in the evening, so I'm expecting a smooth and calm environment there since it's not that late ;)
Now, about the tags... hmmm... Yana, Yana.. you see? You even made one stranger laugh at you, ish ish. And seriously, please don't go overboard today when I'm seeing you later in the day, pleaseeee.. don't spoil my day, oki? =) And you cannot be a Monroe, she's tall. =) Yeooowwcchh! And true Nurul, one doesn't have to looked like a metal (insert others,.. whatever..), to be metal. You'll just look mental. Ish, ish, how lame is that, heheheh. And yes, vote for Taufik! Go, go, go! Either Sly or Daphne have to go next week, better Sly first. =)

I did not want to repeat what happened last week, so I went for school early. Way early. I doubled check if Ihad everything and to make sure I had everything. And I ended up waiting for the rest at Dover, ha. I haven't been early lately, so I feel ultra weird waiting for someone. Usually, it's the someone waiting for me. :) Anyway, Yana came shortly after and I noticed something... something wrong with the face... I couldn't pin point what,.. but something was definately out of place.. hmmm... Next, came Sara, ZiQing and Zak. She too pin pointed something at Yana. Turned out that he was wearing celak... bwahahahhaah! Like eeew. Boy! What were you thinking? Duh, you're in a metal band, but it doesn't really mean you have to reallllllllyyy look like one. What's next? Black lipstick? More eeeewws, .. alamak you, teruk teruk. What telah happened, tsk tsk tsk.
I was left with say about 20 minutes left before the paper ends, but I couldn't tahan anymore, I had to get out since I was sitting directly underneath the aircon's cooling path. My hands turned red because it was so freaking cold. So I hand in the paper and waited with the others who also handed the paper early. Only then I made one small mistake.. darn it, but overall? The paper was do-able, and I dare say its pass-able. Heck, it may be way above pass-able, cos it's quite manageable. Not as difficult as last semester papers, phew. Ha, and no framesets, yeaaa. I was close to jumping for joy on my seat when I read that there's no need for framesets, wheeee. As soon as everyone else got out, I found out that we got a $60 Swensen's voucher. Like ... how come I didn't know..? Hmm.. remember that company assignment for gdit? The one where we had to come up with a new logo, a letterhead and so on for this company? Well, turned out that the people over at the company was amazed at our works. And guess what? They were struggling in deciding who to reward the first prize of $150 Swensen's voucher to. And they were struggling between ours and another group's work. Wooowwww. They were struggling... whether we are first prize worthy or not.. But heck.. we're actually 2nd! It'll be superb if we're 1st, but to come in 2nd? WOW! Never would we thought we would get that rank. Heck, we only met up for the assignment once and we were having problems with printing everything and sorts.. it was amazing.. what a great feeling. :) Yay groupmates! We rock! Hehehehhe.
After that, went to Jurong Point to watch Shark Tale. Hurray, we're watching Shark Tale, hahaha. And Sara tagged along as well. We walked around and boy, were there many superfantabulous shoes. There were everywhere.. I gotta get some moolahs from my dad so I can get some of those lovely shoes, or rather pumps, since it looks soo pretty :D. The movie was funny, well, what do you expect, its a funny movie already, so yea it is funny. And I think that's just it, funny. Nothing special. But it was funny. Ha, Nurul kept on laughing and laughing, hhaha. Lenny's cute. Oscar sounds irritating at times. Skyes adorable. Don Lino is HILARIOUS! He's like a gundu mafia king, or whatever, so the 'blur', haahah. And that's all for Angelina? Among all of the big names, I think only she got little screen time. She's there, and next, nothing.. where she? Hmmm... Oh whatever, it's funny, hah! And so, I had to ran off to meet my folks at Bedok to finally start buying ingredients for rayer cookies/goodies. By the time I reached there, it was pouring madly. So violent that my jeans were soaked from the knees down. And I had to carry plastic bags and the umbrella while fighting to keep the umbrella over my head, instead of it being blown away by the strong winds.. oooh troublesome troublesome. The monsoon season is coming over hard. More rainy days to come then..
YEOW! That was awesome! SI was awesome! Or rather, Taufik was spectacular! He was.. he was.. omg.. he was awesome.. simply wonderful. Vote! Vote! Vote! And wth for Sly? Ok, so he's good, but tonight, he sounds.. eargh.. something wrong.. eargh.. And his rendition of Rock Your Body... omg, you did Justin no justice. It was terrible, he even missed a beat to sing the song properly, yucks, yucks, no good, no good. However, I think the bottom one is Leandra. She sounds so weak tonight,.. like she's struggling or somehow. There's really nothing when she sang, nothing special or sorts. I think she's going.. haizz.. she does have a unique voice, but I think, like what Ken said, she's not Idol material.... yet. And I think I can see Taufik and Olinda as the final 2.. wow... it's going to be a blast! Remember, vote for Taufik! Yesh, vote, vote :D

I think the stray kitten/cat that likes to sleep outside our door is slowly becoming sort of a family pet. It even charmed my dad, who is so strict of letting any furry creatures into the house. Now, Dad's so fond of it, I can see it, even though he's wearing that strict face, ha. And it's so cute of it. We've known that black fella since it was a teeny weeny playful kitten. Coincidentally, we knew who the mother was. The mother used to sleep outside out door. And so, one fine day, we spotted her and her new litter of kittens upstairs, whee... sweet! Now, it's only the black one and the mom. No such luck for the rest of the kittens. They vanished mysteriously, I'm sure someone took them, hmpft. And since it likes to step into the house whenever we opened the door, we started calling it Nono, since, well... we were scolding it to "No... noo... get out.." Yea... But then, our grandmother found out and wanted to call it Julie, instead. Waaa, no.. it's a he, for goodness' sake! Then, my kid brother wanted to call it Joey now. Like what...? Joey..? Ish.. not nice lah. And 'sides, I want to think that it's more familiar to the word Nono now, ha! And I adored the way it looked up from the doormat, whenever we opened to door to pass it some food, and meow sweetly. Everybody now.. awwwww... And it has a thing for our feet. Always chasing us whenever we walked around outside. And then it bites. Playfully, of course. Now, all's left is to convince Dad that it's a-ok to let it in once in a while. Hehehe.
Nono/Julie/Joey
More on the serious side... darn webp theory. Honestly, I say practical is way better, since it's all just do and do, rather than racking your brain for the right answer. And yea, that's what it is. Theory o theory. So much to remember, revise and so on. Darn it. I'll be glad to just ace this paper. Then can I finally relax big time. My fellow potek gang, when are we to watch Shark Tale, ah? Hehehhe, plsss.. let's watch.. it's one movie where I won't scream, hehe. Maybe scream with laughter.. but not scream 'The Village' scream. Yea? Yea? :D Oooh, back to the webp topic again. Today, the initial plan was to meet at Yana, Irwin and Alan at Novena to study webp. But my nose was leaking again and the constant sneezing made me extra sleepier. In the end, it was just Yana and Irwin. Ha, and the reason why the location is at Novena cos it'll be an 'advantage' to Yana since he now works there. Oh whatever. You want to show everyone that Sabrina or Sabariah girl from work right? Ha! And I think the name is Sabariah, not Sabrina, I don't remember any Sabrina from there. Don't lie, you want to show show right? Sheesh you. Tsk tsk tsk, even Zak also know. Bwahahahah!
And here I go again.. distracted by the wonderfulness of internet that I put my studying on hold.. damnit. Study pompuan! I sure ain't gonna do any same module for the next semester.. arrgghh.
