Stars are falling for us

think my hormones are going mental. randomly burst into tears tonight five times or something. also heavily influenced by terrible news from back home which i've known since earlier this week but i guess it took a few days to register in my brain how shitty my relatives, both sides of the family, must be feeling right now. also very lonely here right now. which is weird because i've been out with friends this week and i was feeling fine, almost happy even. wtf do i feel so shitty right now i don't even.

on a less whinging mode..oh wait no this is quite whiny as well, monday is my last music tutorial meaning last time i will see rosy cheeked, bespectacled, bobble-hat wearing, bewildered irishface:( i'm kind of upset about it because he is basically one of my favourite people ever even though he prob only knows me as crazy asian smihs fan. i mean, i just want to get him drunk and take advantage of the situation. is that too much to ask? ps he's like in his early 20s or whatever so age difference doesnt matter ok. (i really felt i needed to say that for some reason idk)

oh my god i really need to get some sleep

Thanks for joining us. To our American friends, have a fantastic Thanksgiving. To all of our international neighbors, we'll eat a little extra for you!

i was going to rant about the weather today. and how kind of-depressed i am. about me, and things, and people, in general. but a picture is worth a thousand words. and an animated .gif...




i feel you man. (rofl at the guy behind though)
hot water + lemon = best drink in the world. good for skin.
summer summer summer. please come soon. and i feel like staying here over summer...idk. i'd like to experience it at least once + i feel like a waste of space at home and my parents have to buy expensive plane tickets every year. and i will do some form of work and earn money to keep me busy. SO SPONTANEOUS OMG. hmm. i'll run through this with my dad. lulz.

As you can see from the userpic, I have been having a little bit too much fun with the photo booth. AHAHAHA,

Chien Hau and Zakiah came down last saturday! And Lee Wen Yi too. Hmph. >:(
Because of his lateness, I had to relive my traumatic childhood experience. I swear its true. The first time something like such happened was when I had my piano lessons in Yamaha music school and my mom was nice enough to forget she had a daughter. I crouched in a corner of the waiting room for hours on end. I stopped going to lessons after that day. Hahahh. Enduring this scenario again, I went into a state of emotional instability which hasn't happened since then.

Thank god. Farid and Navs saw me. Sniff. My saviours!! Bless. Bless. Bless. Apparently, I looked like an agonized drunk walking down the road. And my unexplainable behaviour. *coughtearscough* blah blah blah blah and speech. Awkward much. It. Was. Weird. and uncontrollable. I'm sorry people had to see that. Seriously.

The next day, Chien Hau cameeee. And I saw Yvonne, Chien Yee and Zakiah. And we had wafflessss and we walked around Oxford Street. And we talked and talked and talked. And got cookies. And saw Tower Bridge. And everything was right again. We met up with Syaf, Nabil, Maryam and Angus at Barbican and watched The Snow Prince. Really pretty movie and sad.

Sunday was an academically productive day. Did NOTHING but read. Then on Monday, realised that I had an essay due. Pasal I skived the last lesson, I was the only person empty handed. Damn. I'm actually supposed to be writing it now. Fuckkkk. I finished a book review in 2 days. *pats on back*. I'm pretty proud of it. I did my best. I should start writing the essay now. Maurice will kill me tomorrow if I don't.

Hi everyone, I'd like to request any of Jacky Xue (薛之谦) and Hou Xian (后弦) albums. Unfortunately I don't have anything to offer right now because most of my Chinese music is on my other computer with a faulty disk drive. :( If any one can upload these, I'd greatly appreciate it!

justin bieber- my world (album)
john mayer- battle studies (album)
michael buble- haven't met you yet (song)
rob thomas- her diamonds (song)
and songs that are fun to listen to while driving in a car with the windows down! :)

omg I haven't been here like since.....I don't remember but yeah. I have loads to tell!!!

So...Uni.....you see I hated going to UBD at first. well I guess there were many people who hated it there at first too. Then after a while.....I was beginning to like it in UBD. well that was expected no? BUT!!!! TURNS OUT......I DON'T LIKE THAT MUCH HERE! I hate it more than I hated it before! why????? Because:

1) people are still in high school mode

Childish, talks behind people's back that they consider friends or BARELY KNOW!!!! oh and seriously....making up stories! like to the extreme this one!!!!! they can't accept people who aren't like them, seriously people! you can't expect everyone to be like you right? sure someone might be too loud, has a bigger personality than yours, too straight forward and in every way different from you. but none of those give you a reason to talk about others however you like. especially if you don't know them besides their names or inda biasa. drop the high school act people. We're in uni. try to grow up...

2) The insects in UBD are killing me!

UBD is full of red ants and BIG BEES!!! something has to be done about this. well before i couldn't care less but now I do! why???? because a big fat bee headbutt me that day. and i was traumatized eversince............my friend Ibi thought that was really funny.....................................Bi, one day if that big fat bee heabutt you and got stuck on your head you can always count on me to laugh at you :)

3) people always mistaken me for my sister

Well this isn't really a big of a deal. Cz these people are my friends now. I should be thankful. but NOT EVERYONE who thinks I'm her is her friend! haters. please.

There are more reasons. I just can't state them here because I promised not to say anything about them....

But not everything is bad....i met some awesome people :)

There's Nina A. yes. you guys know her from my previous entry. so there's no explanation needed. She's the friendly-everybody's-favourite one :P

Then there's Fiza!!! my purple Fiza! love this one. she has this really cute laugh. and she's fun to be with. She's the antisocial one LOL I'm the cold one hahaha

There's Safwan. This guy is awesomely aweosme!!!! LOL. everyone should try to be his friends! very fond of hugs. born to do everything! AMAZING SENSE OF STYLE! He's the fabulous one :)

There's Nabeelah Khalid. yes i call her by her full name hahahaha. She is one of those people that's like pretty chilled out. and she has freckles!!!!! and she swears! and she doesn't mind me swearing! which reminds me...I should try to go to her restaurant soon. before the free drinks promotion ends hehehehe She's the ganas one HAHA

There's Ibi. Where do I start with this dude? EVIL! really EVIL! a word that reminds me of him; 'ASSUMPTIONS!' he's the....SUDANESE one LOL. no seriously....he's Sudanese but he lives here for like 17 years so no need to say 'Welcome to Brunei' to him LOL

Well there's more but I couldn't think of any now. they're all awesome if i do talk to them and not be cold LOL. yes, if I'm cold towards you.....you're not getting any closer to me. Not that I do it on purpose. I'm just........a little harder to get to know to. I do smile and laugh. and I have a sense of humour! not that cold people. haha

Speaking of cold, the weather here is awesome!!!! rain~ rain~ rain~ i love eating ice cream when it rains!!!! it's not an odd habit. It is perfectly normal.................................................................

Today is the last day for UBD's food festival. been going on for like 2 weeks??? I'm so gonna miss Liyana's burger talur and nasi katok. they are freaking awesome! The burger talur's sauce is home-made sauce. its like BBQ-ish. nyaman!!!! and the nasi katok's chicken stays crispy even after an hour!!!! and the sambal....OMG :DDDD Mind you I don't always eat nasi katok. but this.......I can eat everyday!!!! heaven i tell you! If you're wondering if this is the same Liyana as the Liyana Restaurant,...yes it is hehehehe

To Safwan my kawan the fabulous! Don't let them get to you. We're facing this together. and yes we bonded :D didn't think it was possible right? LOL. You are awesome and you should know that! Haters, keep on hating. cz this guy ain't going nowhere!!!!!

Exam will start on Monday for me :((( Yes I've studied a little. hehe. some people are so unfortunate cz their exam starts on SUNDAY! as in tomorrow Sunday!!!! good luck people!!!! and wish me luck :)

Sorry if this update isn't up to your expectations :( I'm a little rusty now. and UBD is starting to drain my bright side, yes i have one......

2PM!!! is back!!!!!! without Jaebum BUT an awesome comeback!!!! love them loads!!!! Junsu looks so awesome now. they're threw away that mask he was always wearing and those jewelries they're making him wear!!! now i can see his face better hehehe but a little disappointed about the hair though. seems like everyone has the same hair style :S can't see Junsu properly...........WELCOME BACK 2PM!!!!!

Just finished watching The Boat That Rocked. Twice. I've decided that Tom Sturridge is...perfect.





UNF. Reduces me to a giggling mess.

I rewatched Run Fat Boy Run and while the storyline is lame and cliched it genuinely makes me laugh and the ending with makes me happy (not the Dylan on the ship with his bare ass hanging out but the one before that, the inspiratonal ending, not that Dylan's ass doesn't make me happy).

Man. Revelations about ex-schoolmates! Nutsos.

Frank is still blushing with excitement over the love notes, proposals, propositions, and occasional intimate photos sent from his admirers around the world (China, Norway, Japan, and Poland just this week)!

Thanks, again, for joining us. See you next week!

This is an 'OMG I WANT THIS RIGHT. NOW. THIS. INSTANT.' post.


Mmm men's coats.

Why hello there, 1960s Alain Delon.


Mmmmmm what I would do for a bucket of KFC chicken right now.

Have to wait 'till 23/11 for the dvd to ship. Why so long.

LOL who knew the sun looked so bloody scary. My perpetual image of it is one that wears sunglasses and sings showtunes to random pedestrians.

Seeing honest enthusiastic comments on Facebook about New Moon makes me vomit.

Sick weekend in London! It was v. lovely to see everyone again - HH (of course lol), LP people (too many to list but this includes Nav, Rahman, Iththa, Angus, Syafiqah..), Brunei hall receptionists, Rifah and Ainul! and um, Dini. HAHA. Random. He has a place of his own and doesn't even have to pay for it. Lucky bastard.

On Saturday we went to Reading to pick up our stuff..I still have some left including my after wax wipes lol. Oh well..and I guess they were right, Oakview food is getting better 'cos usually weekend food over there stinks but now it's quite decent. They should set up milkshake machines tbh now that would be cool. Anyway yes LP was fine and seemed the same old same old except for that whole cinema trip shenanigans which is just ridic. Then that night we went karaoke-ing in Farringdon. Some drunk girl kept stumbling into our room which ruined our flow and rhythm. Not really. (we didn't have any..)

The next day I had breakfast with Rifah, Ainul and Azeem at South Kensington at this creperie place which had truly awesome crepes. Salmon + potatoes + perfect crepe = heaven on earth. I was late of course partly 'cos of the lateness of the circle line and mostly because I overslept. lol. Then we went to Oxford St. to go shopping which is as hectic as it sounds... wandered around a bit in H&M And HMV. For some reason we talked about Pokemon a lot that afternoon lmao. Then left to meet up with HH at Dini's place. How awesome would it be to live across Whiteleys?

And then the highlight of the day was of course Patrick Wolf! What an entertainer. The setlist was sooo long and he played so many of his old songs (Paris, Wind in the Wires, Pigeon Song) I was so happy. it was a seated venue but by the 5th or 6th song everyone was standing up and dancing. And OMG I love Alec Empire - he accompanied PW during a few songs and his intros really made me wish I was in a club tbh. It was epic. It was such a great gig...costume changes, string set, back up singers, the band, PW's general sparklyness (literally), tight pants etc etc. And man - how talented is that guy. He can play pretty much any instrunment and he's got an amazing voice, and it showed that night.

Anyway that's my weekend. Back to reality now and have to catch up with work. Boo.

These have a good amount of aizawa.
(good, 'cuz i love him.)
