The Search Is On!!!

It is just so freaking funny!!! AHHHHRRGGGHH!!! I am a fan of Discovery Channel: Travel and Adventure. I love watching Ian Wright and Megan McCormick and have always find the job they does is SUPER-DUPER COOL!! For the past few months, i have been wondering to myself how cool it would be to become the 1st Muslim globe trekker and see the world in the eyes of a Muslim.. Cos as a Muslim, food and prayer time would be an important factor. It would be interesting to see how these factors will be overcome, besides there are too many distorted views on Islam so gotta start somewhere to put it into the right perspective sof what Islam is all abt... I am digressing here, shall go back to the point im trying to make..

Anyways, as i had mentioned earlier on, I was thinking that to have the job of a globe trekker is really cool and what would be more cool is to have it as a job after graduation! Ain't it cool?!! You will get to travel after 3 "hard" years of studying... I was just wondering to myself how the heck does this pple get to do this for a living? And guess what? My question is finally answered tonight! I was watching the channel when suddenly a trailer appeared seeking for a new globe trekker form S.East Asia!!! AAHHH!!! It is finally here!! The search is on!!! I reallllllyyyyy wanna go and see what it is all abt but deep inside my heart, i know that it is not possible for me, at least for now.. I have to think of my family, my mum would not allow me to go readily.. Besides, it my last year and i dun think i wanna jeapordise it and put my future at risk... But it would be sssooo cool!!!!!

I love to travel, even though the places i have been to never require me to board an airplane but so what?!! I just love to go into every allies and streets to see what the pple are sellings and doing! I am not the kind of traveller who goes from one shopping centre after another in search of a good bargain unless i am..hehe.. When you are in a new country, every excites you! You just wanna see every single thing that is happening ard you. At least thats how i feel when i was in Thailand, which is the furthest i have gone... Yah, pathetic isnt it? Well, what to do? But not to worry, after graduation, i shall quickly get ANY JOB, save up and head to TURKEY!!!!!!!!! Ilhan Mansiz please wait for me!! Blue Mosque here i come!!!! Grand Bazaar i hear you calling!!

Another Conclusion of Mine!

Had ICP in the morning and as usual, Mr Nageb is very funny with his very animated expressions and sound effects.. Haha.. I think he is the only teacher in SIM who brings in a lot of humor in the classroom.. Some lecturer will be very boring and dry even though the subject is really interesting...

After the class, i was undecided of whether eating lunch in sch or outside before going tuition.. While waiting for a reply from Fai, i bumped into Fauzi and i decided to eat lunch with him.. I was feeling kinda paiseh actually to join Fai for lunch cos all his friends were guys.. Anyways, ate my lunch with Fauzi and talked abt some stuffs abt SIM.. He havent change a bit when it comes to girls, even though he is already attached.. I think thats how guys are, but i seriously hope that they only talk and give comments and nothing more than that.. It wld be a pity for the gf if most of the guys do more than just talk abt it...

As i was having lunch, i saw Fai's friend talking to a group of guys at another table but i didnt give any particular attention to it... But as i was abt to leave, one his friends came over and i realised that it was F*****!! I was so shocked!! I havent seen him for suucchh a long time and then suddenly there he was! As usual he looked really good and tall and am glad to see that he has that goatee of his... heheh... Aku berbual like as though i know him like that!! I am sure he doesnt even know that a girl name Marlina even exist! Noticed him during my 1st 3 mths course abt 4 yrs ago, he was good-looking but once i knew he was attached, i just shifted my attention elsewhere.. but didnt expect to see him again.. Dun worry! Im not gonna have a crush on him, had enuff of that... Maybe just as an eye candy! Hahah...

Anyways, another incident happened, not exactly an incident just some conversations i had with a friend of mine, made me realise sthg... I have come to yet another conclusion, i have concluded that i am not going to hate 'him' cos i dun think i can, we have become too good of a friend for me to just walk away hating him.. Besides, he used to be someone i used to feel so strongly for and he did nothing wrong to deserve any hatred feeling from me.. I believe it was my fault actually to feel so strongly for someone whom i just met and led myself to believe that there was a possiblitiy for us.. I guess i was just fooling myself and i should not have blamed him for that and have ill feelings abt it... To look it at a more positive side of things, i made another good friend and i didnt take the plunge to make known my feelings to him... I know that some of you may not agree with it but guess this is the concluding conclusion... hahaha.. i sincerely pray that he will find the happiness and fulfilment that he is seeks for...

3 Days of Extreme Exhaustion!!

The past 3 days have been very, very exhausting for me.. It been really a long time since i felt so burnt out and my whole bosy is seriously aching, every muscle of it... So what did i do to tire myself out?

SUNDAY.
Got woken up at 8.00am by my Mum to tell me that she was going out with Dad to clinic and to remind me that i was suppose to go to Punggol with my couz, Sulaiman.. Went back to sleep and half and hour later, my grandpa woke me up to inform me that he is going down to the coffee shop for awhile.. And since then on, i could not go back to sleep even though i would love it very much cos i stayed up late to watch soccer.. My review on the match: GET DAVID JAMES OUT OF THE FIELD!!!
At 9plus, my couz called to inform me that he will pick me up at 10am... I quickly grabbed my towel to bathe and hurriedly get my stuff ready after that.. I was suppose to follow him to Punggol and drive the MPV back cos he need to catch a ferry to Pulau Ubin for his job interview as an instructor in some adventure camp.. On our way, we got lost in Ang Mo Kio for abt 20mins.. We kept making the wrong turns and i was freaking out cos i have no idea how to get back to Jurong.. After dropping him off at Marina Country Club which is at the most extreme end of Spore, i had to make my way back to Teck Whye for lunch.. And as expected, i got lost!! I exited at the Turf Club instead of Bukit Panjang, i nearly drove in to the parking lot but luckily i saw U-turn sign and did an emergency brake, my couz Along and grandpa both jerked forward... hehe.. luckily there is no car at the rear end..
When we reached Teck Whye, most of the stalls are closed.. we stopped there for nothing.. So we decided to drive up to Lim Chu Kang to visit my late Grandma's grave... It is pretty weird to feel such serenity at a place which is suppose to remind you of your inevitable fate waiting for u.. It is so peaceful there.. How ironic is that.. Death is what many human scares of but being there is so calming, at least thats what i feel..
From there on, it was a non-stop car rides till 9pm... Picked my aunt at Bukit Batok, my Mum at Teban, when to SAFTI for the army show... Send my aunt home, send my mum home and fetched my cousin at Punggol... And guess what? Yup, I GOT LOST AGAIN!! I drove ard Ang Mo Kio, got back to SLE, drove at Jalan Kayu, got lost at Sengkang and finally i saw it!!! PUNNGOL RD!! YEAH!!! I was so happy and relieved at the same time.. Phew!! Follow the sign all the way and managed to arrive safely.. well, not that safe actually cos my couz was pissed for he waited for abt an hour... hehhe... what to do, this is the furthest i drove in Spore ok, and without my father as the guide... Give me some credit can!! Dropped him off at Chua Chu Kang and then drove to my final destination, my uncle's place, Jurong West Extension.... Finally i am done for the day!!!

MONDAY.
Had to wake up early yet again cos going to Johor with my aunt.... I was looking forward to it cos i was gonna collect my clothes froms the seamstress.. Upon reaching there, i was kinda disappointed cos the green jacket did not turn out as i wanted, it is so loose and made me look even fatter!!
Drove ard in Permas Jaya cos my aunt wanna collect all her orders from Avon, Beethoven and lots more... It was so cramped at the back seat cos there is 3 of us and many things as the trunk was already full with my aunts orders... It was really cramped but what to do, just sit down quietly.. But what made up for it way the SHOPPING!!!!
Finally, i manage to go to Jaya Jusco!!! It was heaven!!! There are so many long sleeves shirt in different colours and designs!!! I was like some girl who was so crazy, walked ard half the store to find any good bargain.. I wish i had exhanged more money man!!! Ended up buying 4 tops.. I wanna go back there!! And shop till i really dropped.. I think wanna ask Liza and Azack to rent car and drive up to Jusco to shop, shop, shop!!!
Reaches home at ard 10plus, i was really, really tired by then...

TODAY!
Got to wake up a bit early today but i had a whole packed schedule planned for me... Gotta clear my closet and make room for new ones, tidy up my book shelves, clean the house...
And then got a call from Red at ard 11plus, she had some probs wand was crying on the phone.. So decided to meet up with her and have my bank drafts done... When i met her, my whole body was already aching cos i still have not had my rest.. Went to the bank, to post office to pay bills and sat down to hear her probs.. I hope i did not give her any wrong advice cos the only thing my brain was telling me was, SLEEP, SLEEP, SLEEP....
Just when i tot that i can go home to get my rest, my couz called to have tuition.. Argghhh... I could barely open my eyes by then but i head down to her house anyways.... During tutition, my brain officially declared a strike and refused to think... I could not even answer any of her question... I ended the tuition 30min earlier cos i really couldn't take it...
Upon reaching home, i quickly took off my tudung and just lied down on the bed for half and hour without moving... Gathered all the energy that is left and wrote an entry and im feeling a headache creeping in..

Now tell me, am i not suppose to be EXTREMELY EXHAUSTED!!

Austria VS England!!

Hmm... didnt do much today, just stayed at home the whole afternoon.. I think i slept thru the whole afternoon cos i literally have nothing to do.. Did all the house chores in the morning.. Mum and i was hoping that Dad wld come home early so that we can have dinner at Johore but too bad, he didnt.. Miss the satay at Perling!! It really tasty!! I thought i was gonna be cropped up at home for the whole day but luckily my cousin save the night!!

At ard 7plus, my couz, Sulaiman called asking whether wanna go out for dinner at Changi and i instantly said yes! I have not eaten for 1 whole day, just cubit here and there.. no appetite lah.. dunno why.. At ard 9pm he came and picked me up, and guess where we were heading? Sheng Song!! My aunt wanted to do some grocery shopping so we went.. So apparently, my couz tricked me into going!! He just wanna go somewhere near cos later in the night he is going out with his friends.. Darn! After the grocery shopping, we went for dinner at West Coast Hawker.. I ate Black Pepper Chicken Rice.. I dunno why but i do not suffer any paranoia of eating chicken meat, in other words, i have faith in the S'pore govt in ensuring that the poultry that enters S'pore is safe for consumption.. We aslo ordered cockles from this halal chinese seafood stall and oh my goodnes!! The sambal is burning hot!!! It is seriously HOT!! I love hot and spicy food but i gotta say that is one mean sambal!! And it is from a chines stall, can u believe it?! We were practically sweating in our seats... but i love it!!

Watched Queer Eye For The Straight Guy just now.. It wasnt that fun cos the staright guy whom they did the makeover is kinda old.. hehe.. and he still has a mullet! But after the haircut and grooming, he does look good for his age... Now, im waiting for the Austria VS England match to start.. I need my weekly dosage of my darling, Becks.. Its been a long time since i catch him in action after the Euro 2004.. I missed the Mallorca match and didnt catch the new addition to the team, Michael Owen.. I am sure Becks must be glad to have him ard and Jonathan Woodgate... I hope they win tonight!! And i hope i can wake up early tmr cos i hafta send my couz to Punggol for an interview at OBS or sthg... My prediction: 2-1 ,victory for England!!

Result Are Out!

Finally the results are out and Alhamdullilah i managed to pass everything but Marketing is such a disapontment!!! Really disappointed man, cos i really worked my ass off for it and i only marginally passed it. On the hand, im really glad for Managerial Econs.. i really thought i screwed that paper up.. Syukur Alhamdullilah...

Plans for the 3rd yr:

  1. Watch less TV!!! - my main primary addiction!!!
  2. Revise after EVERY lesson!!
  3. Do all the extra readings.
  4. Avoid all sorts of distraction in whatever form it appears!

I REALLY, REALLY hope that i can work really hard for this last year, dun wanna taste failure for the 2nd time.. It is one bitter pill!! Nearly ruined everything. No more slacking and last minute study!!

Tried to find 'I Don't Want To Be' by Gavin DeGraw in iWebMusic but too bad, they dun have it.. It the theme song for One Tree Hill, it is really a good song.. I think im gonna get his album, surveyed it online and the songs sounds really good..
