Aiyaaaa!!! Woke up late la this morning. I intended to get the 0930 bus to KL today. Set the alarm clock to 0600... konon nak pack all my stuffs and prepare for the 4 1/2 hour journey.. turned out that i woke up at 0759. Demmm! But then again.. no worries.. i'm still going back today... the 1530 bus. No problemo. At least i can come here and clear up some wicked stuffs from my pc. hehehe... ;)

There's this news that had been going around campus - "Aksi Toilet yg Terlampau". Well... i guess there's just no stopping anyone from doing it however or wherever it is when they're darn horny huh? Saw a few pics... the most i can say is "No comment." nanti..kata orang paku serpih..mengata orang kite pulak yg lebih... right? Bahaya... coz we dont know what's in store for us... So.. sendiri mau ingat la.

Diving - Sunday had been....well... shocking. There were a couple of guys from trankrian who were also on training and two of them were Malays.. and i know one of them pretty well. gaban betul. It was one of Ben's frens. Cheisss... i tried my very best not to be in his way.... to hide my face in the water... but hey.. the pool bukannya besar pun. When we're going back.. all he had to do was sit in front af the gents' changing room.. and he was hiding his somewhat cynical smile behind his towel when he greeted me with "pandai ko menyelam dalam air ye een?" Chiss.. gaban betui laa... All i can say to him is too keep all this to himself... Tolongla jgn bagi words spread out abt this diving thingy. Oh yeah.. the worse thing is that he's gonna be joining us in P.Payar this weekend... hmm.. talk about tough luck. :p

Whatever it is.... there's no stopping me from going back home this afternoon. By hook or by crook, i'm going home.. even if it means getting a bus all the way to Butterworth to get a bus to KL.. i dont care.. as long as i can go home. Too homesick to care for anything else.... But just one teeny weeny thing. Dan wont be around when i'm in KL... well.. too bad for the both of us la... Maybe i'll go back again when he has a week's leave after his sim in Melbourne.... hopefully he'll get the leave.... but if he's gonna spend that leave in aussie.. well.. there's nothing i can do abt it right?

Hmm.. okla... gonna print out some stuffs so that i can take it back home. I'll read it if i have time. I still have to read my dive manual you know. My diving theory test (yes.. they do have theory tests as well!) will be on this friday... so i'd better be prepared.

Ok.. hope everyone will have a great week... Chiao.

Its a chilly saturday morning. Was supposed to go for my recreational diving lesson at noon today but i'd cancelled the move since my dive buddy, alqas wont be around today. I guess it'd be better if only satria and her dive buddy pzah (alqas' sis) attends class today since they have one more lesson to go through - 4 surface skills... removal of the BCD and the weights, cramp relieve and the "tired diver tow" technique. After that.. finning around in the pool... which can be pretty boring as there're practically nothing interesting to be viewed in the pool... surely not the dangling feet of floaters up on the surface; neither the glimpse of a body cruising through the water with divine, graceful swimming skills... If forced to fin around longer... i'd surely attempt to count the number of tiles it takes to build the pool... Well... its not that i dont enjoy finning... i do.. and the fact that we're going off for our open water dive at the end of this month makes me wanna practice the skill more... but then... well.. sometimes you just need something interesting to keep you going... get what i mean? Ivan doesnt really serve that purpose anymore right now.. since he's already taught us all the skills and he's now concentrating more on the newbies.. so.. we're basically on our own. Darn! :p Well Ivan.. you convinced me to go for the open water dive during Merdeka Day... which means that i'd have to sacrifice my longing to watch the fireworks on merdeka eve.... be prepared to pay for that! ]:[

I love this fiction site of Y.B Lalat... his articles/fictions rocks!

I have more things to blog..but i guess cant do so today.. Aiza's online now.. and i've gotta catch up on things with her. I cant really do two things at a time.. nope..not really good at that... So.. i'll blog again soon. Have a pretty weekend. :)

Oh darn... the school's server had put a firewall off chatboxes. Darn!! But then again.. it wont be too long now to get the chatbox back coz satria had found a proxy to enable the chatbox. Hurrah for satria!!!

Went for dinner with azeno, satria and alqas yesterday at Secret Recipe Juru... and it was superb!!! Satria and Alqas treated azeno and myself our graduation dinner. How thoughtful of you two. Thanks very, very much... :) I had a really supa-dupa great time. :) Sampai mata dah half closed.. macam mata garfield dah smalam... hehehe... tahan mengantuk while posing for piccies by the Kerian river in PBtr. Model of the nite:Azeno... heheh..

Gonna go for my final diving lesson later in the afternoon. Next month... P.Payar!!! Yeay! But then.. hopefully, the trip would be in the 20th Sept instead of the suggested 31st Aug or 6th Sept. I wanna go back home on the 31st... homesick like serious s***. 6th.. i've a wedding to attend to..plus... i'm scheduled to visit my parents angkat in besout.... hmm...

Ok..la.. enuff for now... words doesnt flow ffrom my head. Too serabut... hehe.. i dunno la.. so stuck with this project. :P Uwaaa!!! Oh yeah... saw Jimmy at the cafetaria just now with his gf.... heheh.. jimmy... mike shinoda.... yeah.. rite... LOL!!! Jimmy...my final yr crush..wakakakak....!

Ya Allah.. bercintanya nak bukak blogger. Since yesterday, i wanted to blog but then the page just wont open... server terpele'ot kot??? Whatever it is.. glad that it's opened now.... :D Blogging time!!

Last weekend.... 3rd confined water diving session. Hmmm.. i think i can say that i'm improving, compared to my first confined water dive in some pool at Bt Ferringhi. At least now i dont get all too panicky in the water... i mean in the water ok... when i float, i still get a little nervous when my feet doesnt touch the base of the pool. Hmmm... nak kata takut air... dah diving pun... masalahnya, i still cant swim!! CAN'T!! Eiisssshhh..masalah betul la. Its like... its not supposed to be like that you know. I can float myself, i can do those bubbles thingy... and yet, i CANT swim!! How come it seems so easy when everyone else does it??? Aiyaaa...

Oh yeah... i knocked my head on the regulator on Sunday. 'Twas pain as hell... in fact, it still is today. Benjol kejap... sakit sehhh.. As usual, Ivan had to adjust my tank and stuffs when we're underwater. This Ivan guy is my PADI (Professional Association of Diving Instructors) dive instructor. Best la this guy... very supportive and very brotherly... heheh... Oh yeah.. While we were having that diving session on Sunday, there was these group of kids tgh dok blaja swimming. So at the end of the diving session, Nurul borrowed one of the float boards from the swimming instructor - a pakcik who used to teach Nurul to swim. So sempat la ala2 swimming kan (as if!).. heheh.. he said that if i wanted to learn from him, i can join in on sundays... hehe.. yeah.. sure. As long as the kids had gone back. kalau tak.. malu!!

Saturday night - silat class for tenaga pengajar and pembantu kelas... Wowieee.. sure was fun. We had to do stuffs using our left hand. Biasa guna right hand so things got pretty ugly at first. But it was really fun-loaded laa.. best gile. All of us wished that the training session was a little longer as we only had two short sessions of left hand practice.

Sunday, before i went for my diving lesson, spent the day with Dan.. well where else other than at KBJ? He's having his nightstop there before flying off to Hong Kong on Monday. Last night, i talked to his mom... and she asked "Noreen pergi jumpa Dan ya hari tu?" And.. of course la.. i said i did. And i told her that i might see him again when he return to penang on Wednesday and she went like, "Noreen takde classes ke? You jangan la ponteng2 klas tau... " Yikes!! How did she know that??? Darn! heheh.. so.. there goes the plan of spending Wednesday in Penang.. kantoi big time. But then again.. if i'm provoked to still go there tomorrow... you betcha i will!! heheh..... ]]:[ <-- this is a devil with double horns and fangs.

Hmmm... already figured out when i'm going back to KL.. I'm going back on the 29th morning from Butterworth since i have class 28th night.. Dont think i can make it for t he midnight bus... so balik the very next day... 30th, i can spend the day with Aiza... and that night, i'm gonna make sure that i'll be somewhere strategic to get a perfect view of Merdeka Day's fireworks... I missed the new yr's fireworks remember??and by that strategic location i dont mean that to be in front of the tv ok. So hoping that i'll have the chance to watch the fireworks that nite. :)

Ok..ok... better get down to work... Chiao for now!

No more daily postings. Hmm... i dunno.. its as if life's a little too mundane to be talked about. Nothing really new nor interesting really happened... perhaps there were, but somehow, those things just fail to register... probably because they're just not interesting enough. Huh??

Ok... here's something to share with on a wet Friday morning (berkat tuh ujan turun ari jumaat!)...
Remember when we were kids, there was this lullaby often sang to us....Well to me, that lullaby didnt make much sense, until yesterday... when Abg Harun pointed it out during our supposedly fortnightly discussion. It goes like this:
"Bangau oh bangau kenapa engkau kurus?
Macam mana aku tak kurus, ikan tak mau timbul.
Ikan oh ikan kenapa tak mau timbul?
Macam mana aku nak timbul, rumput panjang sangat.
Rumput oh rumput kenapa panjang sangat?
Macam mana aku tak panjang, kerbau tak makan aku.
Kerbau oh kerbau kenapa tak makan rumput?
Macam mana aku nak makan, perut aku sakit.
Perut oh perut kenapa engkau sakit?
Macam mana aku tak sakit, makan nasi mentah.
Nasi oh nasi kenapa engkau mentah?
Macam mana aku tak mentah, kayu api basah.
Kayu oh kayu kenapa engkau basah?
Macam mana aku tak basah, hujan timpa aku.
Hujan oh hujan kenapa engkau turun?
Macam mana aku tak turun, katak panggil aku.
Katak oh katak kenapa kau panggil hujan?
Macam mana aku tak panggil, ular nak makan aku.
Ular oh ular kenapa nak makan katak?
Macam mana aku tak makan, memang makanan aku!


Ok.. who's the most pious of 'em all?? Well.. the snake is. Why? Because he accepts what is fated for him... that the frog is what he eats... Geddit? Its like, since our childhood, we're reminded to believe in fate... but sometimes, as we're just mere humans, we tend to forget that. I dunno how to really breach on the subject, but as a whole, its like that. Whatever that had happened to us or will happen to us, it's all fated by God.... Like a phillosopher once said, "A move is made by an immovable mover" And just who is the immovable mover?? He is Allah, the Almighty, the everlasting. Hmmm..... feeling a little twisted in the head??? Its allright.... dont get too confused. Some things takes time to sink in. So... in the end, its: "Believe your beliefs and doubt your doubts; but never doubt your beliefs nor believe your doubts." Heheh... if you get it.. then you get it la.. if not...leave it be. Dont think about it so much without a guru to guide you through; sebab belajar tanpa guru tu umpama belajar ngan syaitan. Macam tu ke umpanya?

Ok.. cukupla sikit2. Not that i know so much about stuffs... just sharing what i'd gotten yesterday. Okay... have a great weekend! Oh yeah... today nak balik early.. wanna go home and watch the rerun of the Akademi Fantasia final concert. Didnt get to watch it last saturday. I was in vistana and they didnt have astro ria in the hotel. Just watched the results part at Kayu Nasi Kandar when we stopped by to get some drinks. But then again.. i cant watch the whole show today... Gotta leave for penang at 1230 for my diving lesson.. Darn!! Takpelaaa.... i hope sempat tengok Liza and Vince.... but then again, there'll be a few more recaps of the concert anyway kan??? So.. wont miss those lah. Hmm... cant belive that i'm all caught up in the AF Fever as well... hehe... Well... its not too late to extend my congrats to all the 12 AF contestants, especially the Top 5: Vince, Khai (papa nemo), Azizi, Nija and Liza. Hmmm.. you ppl make our saturday nights. :)

Ok..ok... a few hrs to go now.... better get to work.... Now i'd have to read on abt something new... The Symbian OS. Ok.. chiao!

Tuesday, August 12, 2003

Woke up this morning with a swollen left eye. Why?? I have no idea... insect bite kot? Or maybe i was punched in the face in my dreams... but i dont recall having dreamt anything.... so.. it must've been the insect bite. Went to the Health Centre kejap, before coming to school... Dr Naim wasnt around pulak... He'll only be there in the afternoon... Aiya... but then again.. if i go see him.. he'll most probably say things like' "Who dont you look it up in the internet. You know the internet???" Gee whizz.... Talk about telemedicine. hehe.

Petang karang.. gonna hafta go to the main campus to return the robes and collect my grad piccies. Hmm.. hope the piccies would turn out nice. This thursday, kuliah agama at rumah persatuan in Tmn Brown. Friday, diving theory session 2 and confined water diving session 2. Saturday nite, kelas silat Tmn Browne. Sunday, again confined water diving... and about diving.. alqas said that we're scheduled for open water diving in Pulau Payar early September.... tapi clash ngan Kak Za kawin lak.. maybe we cud postpone that to mid Sept.. hopefully.

So okla... better continue with presentation... bile la nak abes nih.. :( Okies... chiao.

Monday, August 11, 2003

Wow... 9 days of not blogging.. Hmm.. pretty cool. Nothing much to write la last week.. plus, i went home to KL on wednesday, after settling stuffs abt getting the robe, and the rehearsal for the Konvokesyen USM Kali ke-32. The week had been quite a restless one. Monday, half heartedly went to school, didnt do much, just touching up some bits on my presentation. Tuesday..lagi la in convo mood... went to collect the robe in the morning... then went to school in the afternoon in hope to complete my presentation.. hmm.. tak siap gak... leceh sket guna visio since i'm not accustomed to ms visio yet. Wednesday went to penang again for the rehearsal and went home to kl from butterworth that very afternoon... Thursday, Friday in KL. Saturday off to png again. Sunday convo... and now... come Monday, i'm here in school again. My intentions were to work up on my presentation some more.. tapi.. sampai skang tak bukak pun lagik ppt tu..heheh.. hampeh. :p

Last thursday, aunty called me and invited me to go out for lunch with her. Heheh... so we did! Met her in front of Semua Hse since i'd to get some stuffs for my frenz from that Jalan T.A.R area. Then accompanied her to get kain pelekat and telekung at the bazaar. Then we had lunch at the Deli france in Sogo... Hmm.. all i can say is that.. I thank God so very, very much for letting things be easy on me. Alhamdulillah! So far, i should think that Dan's parents are very warm and welcoming towards me and its really a big thing for me you know... I appreciate that very much. :)

Friday, spent half the day at home... kacau2 athirah.. she'd really grown you know... now that she can walk, we have to run all over the house to keep up with her. you know how toddlers love to put everything they found in their mouths... My mom said, once, athirah's mom even found a baby lizard in her mouth... isk... teruk betui. Everything also want to eat... :p Oh yeah.. both my neighbors had given birth... kakak gave birth to a baby boy.. and kak za to a baby girl.. elok la tu.. just what they'd wished for. Afternoon, went to see Dan after his flight. Lepak with him til evening. Then that night, balik kampung.....

Sunday-Convo... hmm.. what can i say abt convo....? It was fun la... quite fun... Its like.. i'm really happy to have my family there you know.. even paklong and maklong and wan and nenek and abg boy came along kan.. so it was really great to have everyone sharing my joy. I'm happy that i could celebrate my graduation with my mom.. but just a little teeny weeny pang of regret that my dad wasnt there to see me graduate. But its allright. At least my mom could be there. She gave me this bouquet of flowers with five little teddies in them. Another sad thing abt the convocation was that i didnt quite have a chance to hang around with my frens you know... like goe.. He came all over from kuantan... and i couldnt hang around with him. Just met him for a while, took a pic with him... then i had to go.. i didint even see him to say g'bye... adei.... very sad... and rather guilty. And... well... what can i say.. it was also a little sad not having Dan there to celebrate with me. I thought it wont hurt so much that Dan couldnt be there.... but it did hurt... But knowing that he'd want to be there if he could... then.. redha la kan... It was his offday that day... and i think he'd better off spending it at home where he can get all the rest that he could get... coz this month is truly an exhausting month for him... teruk kena fly here and there... cian dia.... Tapi jealous la... seeing everyone else with their bfs and fiance with em... :( hehehe.... naahh.. kidding..

Eh dahla... my ideas dont really flow la... so better get going with actaully doing my presentation.... oh..one more thing... Have to go back snytime this mth... i have to see aiza... she's back.. and she'll be here until end August.. so i really have to meet her before she goes off... bile ek? hmm... this weekend got diving class... next weekend theory test.. hmm.. i'll figure it out later la.. ok ciao!

Friday, August 01, 2003

What a great way to start a day... heheh.. reading other ppl's blogs.. and blogging your own blog. Hmm.. best betul ponteng 2 hari.. next week.. ponteng lagik a few days... what can i say.. the "convo" mood is already here to stay. I was hoping to extend my convo hols until the end of the week after convo.. but there'll be silat on monday and wednesday... hmm.. tadek can dah nak ponteng. But i might still ponteng... entahla... losing the excitement of doing research. Fret not... this is not something permanent... the feeling will wear off soon... or.. at least i hope it will. :)

Went to penang ystrdy to meet darling bf.. hehe.. as usual.. boarded the city liner bus, only the bus ain't as filthy as the bus i took the other time. But this time, i was approached by those ppl striving to sell off bus tickets you know..."Ulat" as they call them in Puduraya. There was this person la.. who kept going after me even when i'd already said i didnt need any tickets. Still, he kept following me, asking "adik nak pergi mana? Alor Setar?" So.. macam irritated sikit.. i told him "Nak pergi Sabah" Dunno where the sarcasm came from.. heheh.. it took him a while to get it... padan muka.

Had pizza for lunch kat Pizza Hut depan KBJ. Hmm.. really nice. I havent had pizza for quite some time... so yesterday (after being forced) i managed to finish 3 slices of pizza... adoi.. lucky i dont have to do that every day.. if not.. i'll end up like Rosemarie in Shallow Hal. Yikes! God forbid!!!

Later today... 1st diving lesson.. the theory class. After that, i'm thinking of getting a bus to Ipoh... to azeno's place.. teman dia jadik jaga. Hehhee... pastu nak ganti specs dia.. cian dia.. baru ganti dah pecah lak.. hehe.. Thanks to me.. :D Guess that everyone wont be around this weekend... azeno kat umah.. nura kat umah.. my mom kat kelantan... Dan kat Bt Tinggi... hmmm... so.. i'd better go somewhere as well. Oh... Dan said that he's scheduled to be in Penang on Wed.. heheh.. i'll be in png for the rehearsal too! I'll see if i can find time to get to him. :)

Dan told me yesterday that he keeps all the receipts that he got whenever we're out together.. so i asked him "Why? You wanna claim it from me later on ke?" And his reply made my eyes teary. He said "No. I keep it because... someday, if you find someone better than me and decide to leave, i'll still have all the memories with me." Oh..honey...... whoever can find someone better than the best??? I already have the bestest boyfriend ever... my hubby-to-be... there's nothing more that i'd want to ask for.

Hmm.... cant get all too mushy... okla.. better get on doing sth else.. dunno what yet.. probably gonna repost my query kat sun.java kot. Hmm.. wishing that everyone will have a great, FUNtastic weekend. Chiao!
