I'm an opera singer

NOT!

would like to be one though...haha...dream on honey...

Ok la...we had our Civil Procedure II; hereinafter referred to as CP (cewah!) lecture this morning, for three hours straight, from 9 a.m. till 12 noon. We were supposed to present our legal firm's company profile...we were one of the remaining groups that have not presented our company profile, and we thought that we could present it today...

But alas! Our turn has been postponed to next Saturday!!! haih...I'm starting to lose the mood and enthusiasm to present the company profile. Plus I'm being a little, a LITTLE, disappointed when it seemed that it wasn't entirely the students fault for further delaying the presentation, but also the lecturer! I prefer not to expose on what she did that caused the postponement, for fear of any spies or reporters who happened to read this post and will send an informal complain and report to the lecturer...hahaha...

So anyways, after the lecture, we decided to go karaoke! It has been so long since we use this method as a way of releasing stress! Plus there's a new karaoke in Cmart so we thought why not go there and try 'karaoke-ing'? there instead of Jitra? It's nearer, newer and cheaper. We booked a room for an hour and so began our moment of becoming the next American Idol and Glee cast members wannabes!! Bajet suara sedap giler padahal out of tune semua! hahahaha....

This new place is definitely way better than the one they have in Jitra. Compared to Jitra, this KBox has bigger space, a sofa, better sound system, and lets just say, more modern...where we use touchscreen monitor in choosing the songs instead of typing the song code using a remote control or a mini keypad that almost resembling a calculator (except that the 'plus' sign is replaced by an 'Enter') LOL! Also, the songs are updated and have more choices than those in Jitra. We had a fun time singing our hearts out...it really helped me with my stress...I sang until I almost crack my voice...hahaha!!

I chose mostly old songs...Oldies! =p Well, I am after all one of the faithful listener of Lite.Fm and oldies has always been my favourite. Not just because of their melody but also their lyrics, which I find are more meaningful than most songs today... Come to think of it, the choices were rather funny cute songs, like Paul Anka 'Calendar Girl', Perry Como 'Catch a Falling Star', not forgetting Diana Ross 'Stop! In the Name of Love,' Madonna's 'Like a Prayer', 'Copacabana', and many others which I have forgotten. Too bad they don't have Abba, because most of their songs are among my favourites...!

And it didn't end there, for me that is!
When we returned to college, my roomate was not back from 'Big Field' (PADANG BESAR...bajet nak translate nama tmpat...mentang2 amik translation thun lps...hahaha!). So, still in the singing mode, I turned on my laptop, and played my favourite songs! This time, it was mostly opera like songs, like Andrea Bocelli's 'Melodramma' and 'Time To Say Goodbye', some Glee songs which I absolutely adore, and songs from Andrew Lloyd Webber 'Love Never Dies'. I sang along as I sat on the floor, and a few minutes later singing while lying on the floor, kononnya nak practice breathing technique for better singing skills...I am not sure if that is a right way, but when I sat up again and sang Melodramma, my voice wasn't as bad as before...(takpun aku ni yang perasan sorang-sorang bajet suara sedap...hahahaha!)

Yessss....I love songs like that. Opera, sentimental, choir...The ones that can give me goosebumps but at the same time entertain me with their sentimental melody and beautiful, meaningful lyrics. Many don't expect me to have such interest, probably because of how they see me, judging me based on physical appearance per se... Well, if there's one thing I like about getting to know a person inside and out, is the surprises than we receive from them. Sometimes we never can expect that a person whom we see as a total opposite of us actually has more common interest with us than we have with our friends.

trauma nasik, dinner with friends

Saya trauma...

Trauma................................................

Dengan nasi kat kafe....

Pelik kan....trauma kat nasik...hehe...

But that's the fact. Sekarang ni macam takut pulak nak makan kat kafe...agak rugi sebab:
1. dekat dengan bilik. Tak payah susah-susah nak keluar cari makan
2. Makanan sedap. Sedap as in boleh mengenyangkan anda...tapi kalau nak compete masuk Masterchef tu mungkin tak kot. Silap-silap kena perli dengan jury...sentap ok!
3. Makanan dia tak semahal tempat-tempat lain. Petrol pun jimat. hehe...

Sebab apa trauma?
Sebab lepas makan nasi ayam pada 2 hari lepas and ate lunch the very next day...perut rasa sangat la tak sedap. The feeling you have when you feel so bloated, as if you are about to vomit but nothing comes out. And then it seems like there so much air inside that you feel tightened around the abdomen, as if you are going to have a gastric attack...

macam tu la saya rasa lepas makan di situ.
I don't know, maybe it's just my stomach, because my friends didn't have any problems. the weird thing is, I can eat almost all food that I never tasted before and never get an upset stomach, (like eating raw sushi for the first time while I was in Japan), but I get stomach ache when the rice is not properly cooked. Weird? entah lah...haha

I was worried because the next day is our Annual Law Dinner. Yess, as a final year law student, I was very looking forward to attend my last law dinner with my friends. Excited to dress up and snap pictures with everyone, excited to watch the performances and excited to taste the food (western theme).

But alas! It wasn't as stupendous as I had anticipated. For one thing, the food arrived late, and apparently the waiters there are not aware of one thing called 'protocol'. The food was late, and they didn't take all the used plates. In the end, all the empty plates and glasses were left on the table... The performances were okay, but I wished they have more. Nevertheless, I had fun times joking, and talking and laughing with my friends. We snapped many photos together; cute photos, candid photos, accidental photos, perasan comel photos, every shot until we all got tired of taking pictures.

I will surely miss the times we spent together. It's not going to be easy in the future to meet and have a gathering where everyone can attend, as each of us will be busy with our careers and life. Some might be going abroad, some might be achieving their highest dream, some might be struggling balancing work with family...meeting up with friends will no longer be the number one priority.

But, I just hope that whenever we have the free time, even for a few minutes, we can sit down and remember all the good and bad memories that we had. It will put a smile on that tensed face of us and probably will cheer our day after working hard.

cookies and cream!!!

This is a review post.

First time buat ni...hehe! I'm reviewing a lipbalm that I purchased last week. I meant to write a review about it earlier, but due to assignments and other engagements, I managed to do it only today...

Tada!!! Ini lah lipbalmnya....simple je kan? My Lip Stuff Cookies & Cream Natural Lip Balm. I bought this lipbalm online at this website. And when they say Natural Lip Balm, it really means NATURAL! which makes this as my favourite lip balm!!!!!

Here's the ingredients written on the lip balm:
-sunflower oil
-beeswax oil,
-cocoa butter
-sweet almond oil
-castor oil
-jojoba oil
-avocado oil
-aloe vera
-essential &/0r flavour oil

It is made in US and it is priced at RM12. A worth buy if you ask me, because not only it is at a reasonable price, it really works! It has a really smooth texture and glides easily upon application. And it's long lasting. Even if I forgot or didn't apply it for one day, my lips stay smooth and moist! No need for gloss because it has this glossy finish when I put it on...hahaha!

I bought Cookies and Cream because at that time of looking through the flavours, I was craving for some cookies! haha...plus I like the smell of cookies and anything buttery,( before this, I used Palmer's cocoa butter lipbalm), so I decided to choose that flavour.



When I read the review of Cookies and Cream, many of the customers said that it reminded them of oreos. I don't know why, but the moment I smell it, I can only think of one: Famous Amos! Fresh baked Famous Amos cookies!!! yesss...my favourite cookies...after my mom's homemeade ones that is...I love it so much I reapply it couples of time! I really enjoy the moist and smooth texture, along with the yummy scent of cookies! My lips never felt so soft and smell deliciously before...hehe...

I definitely recommend this lip balm to all! It's natural, it's reasonably priced, and it has over 500 flavours for you to choose! And it really WORKS!! I'm already thinking of buying a few more! It truly is a serious lip care with a fun flair!! =D

saya sayanggggg

My baby sister!!! hehehe....macam kecik je kan bila tulis baby sister...padahal dah besarrrrr dah...haha...besar as in 21 years of age ok...not besar as in gemuk...haha yesss.....this post is as a reply to my sister's post. She writes about me..isk isk..terharu okay! Really am touched by what she wrote...If it wasn't for the fact that I read it in the computer lab, I would've cried buckets of tears! Taknak tunjuk nangis depan orang...maluuuuu... Who doesn't love their siblings? It's impossible not to love. Even if someone out there saying that they don't, there is somewhere very deep inside their heart that keeps the love for their siblings. They just don't want to look for it, or worse, refuse to give it. She's my only little sister...we share room together, we share things together, (although sometimes ungkit-ungkit jugak sapa banyak pakai barang sapa...=p), we share secrets and stories together too! Of course, we have our quarrels and arguments, but who doesn't? marah tanda sayang...kan? kan? kan? gedik.

I was soooooooo sad when she and my younger brother had to go to Egypt for their studies... Nangis giler-giler okay! Sedih oooo...because I cannot see her and go shopping or makan-makan with her as often as I used to have. Dah la time there was a present exchange time for law dinner committee, aku lak boleh pergi sembunyi and call my sister. Dia pun nangis sekali...huhu...sorry for making you sad...huhuhu

I am a difficult person when it comes to showing my feelings to the people that I deeply care about. That doesn't mean I don't care about them. Sometimes, I look really cold and emotionless, but deep down, I have thousands of words I want to tell, but just can't seem to find the way to say it. It is definitely a problem I'm yet to find solutions to it... So, here I'm going to say. I love my sister. So much!! Wholeheartedly...she's there when I have issues with my friends and with myself, things I don't find suitable to tell my parents, she'll be my best friends, and my best listener. She gives me motivation and encouragement when I don't have confidence in myself (which is something I'm really struggling with right now), and she'll be there when I need the strength and company.

I am sorry for all the offensive words and actions I ever did. I am sorry for all the troubles I caused you. Trust me, the last thing I ever want to do is to make you sad. I want you to always be happy and successful. Screw all those people who dislikes and hates you. They don't know who you really are; a beautiful person both in and out. I know that's who you are for sure. Don't ever feel that you're alone or being left out, because I'll be there. I will try my very best to be there. I pray for your health and success and happiness in life, and I pray that may all be made easy for you. But bear in mind, nothing comes easy. Trust yourself. Be confident. Stay motivated and focused, and believe in God. Insya Allah you will never go astray and will reach your goal. I'm always supporting you and I got your back. When you feel like you're lonely, remember that you have a family, and Allah S.W.T.

I love you forever...and all this also goes to my two younger brothers. Your big sister SAYANG you very very very much!

I'm not good in expressing myself, but I love you so much. God knows how much I love and how much I am so grateful to have you in my life! sayang awak!

egypt to malaysia, love at Kellies Castle

Hello.

Yes...It's been a while since I last write anything here...
Ye la...orang risau kot...family members in Egypt (my younger brother and sister), so of course any cheerful or enthusistic mood will be turned and be replaced by anxious and worry...none other than that...kadang-kadang nak gelak sbb ada lawak kt tv pun rasa serba-salah...noticed the sharp stare by ma'am besar di rumah... taknak la nanti dikata kita ni tak risau... Tapi nak buat camne...dh benda dalam tv tu lawak...kena la gelak...nnti tak puas ati! hahaha...

Well, I was never completely relieved until they step into our home safely. Even if they've arrived in Malaysia...I'm still not completely relieved. My youngest brother and I decided to wait for them to arrive, but in the end, sleep prevails...huhu.... and I hope things will get better in Egypt. A word of advice to that president of theirs...when people start mocking you with names and vandalising your pictures with the devil horns and all, it's a very crystal clear sign that it is time for you to walk away and step down. No need for further stressing your head with problems of the country. Pergi la cuti-cuti...makan angin...grab you Hawaiian shorts and baju bunga matahari ala-ala Jaafar Onn punya and duduk la beristirahat kat pantai mana-mana... You've past that glory years...you're in the golden years now...so have a good rest in a nice beautiful Island or travel somewhere and take pictures...have that vacation now, before it's too late. hahaha...

Anyways, I'm still in the mid semesters holidays. Apparently my uni decided to give us a long break, 2 weeks instead of one...hehe....macam nak tebus balik je...nak amik hati pelajar ler tu! hahaha...well, I'm embracing the chance...but I'm sure after this break, more stress will come. I'm still very worried of my car sticker application. And presentation for our firm's company profile, and mooting, and assignments, and tests, and finding firms for pupillage, and...and...and... (picture a robot with smoke coming out due to over thinking...that's what I'm feeling right now).

Okay...shoo those away...you're in a holiday, so act like you are. And indeed I did. The first few things I did was meeting up with my school friends... A friend decided to treat us for a lunch the day before CNY (yay!) at her place. Simple as that. But, it got a little bit complicated when I, along with a friend who car pool with me got lost! yes...right in Ipoh town! Where I grew up! hahahaha....apparently instead of meeting them in 1 hour, we were 2 hours late! and apparently we've toured almost the whole Ipoh! From Jelapang to Simpang Pulai, to Chemor, then Chepor, then almost to Kuala Kangsar!! hahaha...but it was a great experience...and I remembered the way. We had great times chattering and gossipping and taking pictures!

Then my university friends came and visit Ipoh last two days, and I got to join them to some little trips to Kellies Castle and doing some shopping. Kellies Castle is a wonderful place to take pictures and capture and create memories. Why, while we were there, there's a photoshoot for a bridal shop going on. Come to think of it, I pitied the model, because they're wearing this beautiful but heavy wedding gowns and it was done under the hot sun. I was sweating and feeling stuffy already in my t shirt and jeans and shawl, imagine how the models felt? Plus with the makeup and heavy...nasib baik tak cair macam lilin...hehe... and later that day, we went for some shopping. Law Society Annual Law Dinner is coming, and mostly they did shopping for that purpose. Unfortunately for me, for I already have my dinner things settled, I did some unnecessary shopping, like purchasing a new handbag! I know I know I bought many things already (my sis is reading this...hehe) but but...it's a vintage design! And it captured me at first sight! hehe...takpe takpe...I let go one of the bags (my sis baca ni) hehehehehe......

So, as I am writing this, you can say that I've been going out a lot more than I should be staying home. Ish ish ish...asyik keluar je aku ni kan...cuba la duduk rumah...belajar masak ke...kemas rumah ke...menjahit je...ni tak...duduk ternganga tengok tv... kat sofa dah ada bekas bentuk bulat sbb lama sangat duduk...hahahahaha!!! And another thing, before coming home, I set this mind of mine to do some research for mooting. The result...HAMPEH! haven't even started yet! damn! am gonna be so in trouble soon....procrastinating is a thief of time! I know that, experienced that, yet, didn't really learn from that....haih...
