hot brown sugah opens her trap yet again

oh why did i chose to do this?

at this point of time, i so wish i had just accepted the offer to laselle design school intstead of coming here. it would've been my final semester instead of my final year. i would be very stressed, yes i would. u'll be stressed wherever u are in life until u're dead. if u haven't been a good person, well.... u'll still be stressed even if u're dead coz that's when God will deal with u. if i had taken up the offer, at least i would be passionately stressed. pfft!

impromptu

last wednesday afternoon, i received a msg that said he'll confirm his flight by tonight (as in wed night) out of the blue. on thursday afternoon, i was told he'll arrive on friday night.

so yesterday, i made mee goreng, pizza and steak. all from scratch okay! even the pizza base tau. but i ended up not baking the meat for the steak coz there were simply too much to eat.

why all the cooking?

coz he's my brother.

yes! the brother's here for a visit. today's lunch will be yesterdAy's mee goreng. brekkie was last night's pizza and dinner.... i'll bake the meat for steak la.
today's schedule: chill (jet lag whaaaaaat).
tmr: easter show (if there's still any. heh!).
haven't plan for the rest of his stay till saturday. newcastle would definitely be part of it. and market on the rocks and all those la.

tata!

ps: shik! alamak! sale over already! sorry!
liza, i won't forget your request for pasta. heh!

of clowns and berok

i'm done with all my presentations for this semester.the last one was just a few hours ago and i realised that i had to do it only 29 hours prior to the tut. and mind you, i had to sleep (4 hours) and attend other classes this morning. tsk! TSK! and the topic i had to present? its about 'STRESS relaxation techniques'. juz perfect! i had to present for 15 min and at the 10th min mark, i was warned and i actually let out a small scream. and it was so obvious that i was rushing through the slides (coz i saw the blur looks) and i said, 'hey, i've got only 5 more minutes!'. i wonder what was so funny but it made the class giggle like primary school kids. then! i gave them a case scenario:

mona just realised that she has to present at this class only during lunch time yesterday. what might be the observable changes we can see in her? (obviously takin myself as the example la!).

then i gave them a little twist to the situation. what if mona is a Type A personality? Type A personality would be those very competitive ppl, kiasu to do well, does well also la. they have super high expectatins but they make sure they work the hell out for it and actually get the desired results... u get the flow, yes? so! what if this Type A mona was in that above mentioned case scenario?

one said she's take more stimulants (eg:smoke more if she smokes, etc).
another said she'll lose sleep.
tutor said she might be fidgety and may keep biting her nails.
then they stared at me.
so i said, 'she's a Type A, she shouldn't be forgetting should she?'

no, the class didn't laugh. they juz stared at me. so i gave my cheesiest smile, did a wave like brushing away a fly and said, 'yeah yeah, i was being corny'.

and that made the whole class laugh (maybe out of pity. but i chose to think that they really find me amusing la. haa!!).

that would be the clown story. makin a fool of myself for the entertainment of others.

now the berok story.

uni had a branded watch sale just now. i bought 5 watches at the cost of one original price of a guess watch. one mambo, one nautica, one fiorelli, one maxum and guess what the last one is? guess la, what else? me and my guess. i like la guess. heh! so there! one would be for my darling for her birthday next month. don't know which one to give her though. the rest will be shared with dolna. i won't tell you how much it cost me but its definitely not more that 150buckaroos (no prizes for guessing now eh!?! haha!). so! i'm left with 30buckaroos for this month of april. luckily God gave me brain and made me top up my phones first! Alhamdulilah! cannot eat but at least can still call ppl back home.

so that's my story of the clown and the berok for today!

ps: i kinda like my pseudoname for the case scenario.... MONA. haa!

Nation of Islam

i'm doin my research for my history essay and i stumbled upon this , i'd label it, 'movement' in america. (surprise, surprise, jules is doing research for her essay that's due in 2 weeks time. normally research will be done only 5 days before its due.) let me tell you what the basics of the 'foundation' for this movement are:

this guy, 'fard muhammad' was the reincarnation of Allah (sbt).
Astarghfirllahalazim! tsk! tsk!

another guy 'appointed' by fard, 'elijah muhammad' was the messenger/prophet of god.
*i want to pengsan already*

this movement elevates blacks (and often other non-Caucasians) above whites.
i'm pretty damn sure the real Islam doesn't tolerate racism.

i know i'm definitely not a model example as a Muslim. i can be such a mean bitch that God must be embarrased that i love him (but i hope not dear God!). i can be so selfish that i'm not surprised if my parents have given up hope on me (i also hope not la. heh!). but whatever happens around the world that affects my very beloved religion, i cannot help it but feel a pinch (or sometimes a punch). i don't understand why one (or a whole movement in this case) would want to alter such a pure teaching (the same goes to the other religions as well). is it because they want to make it simpler so its easier to follow? or they just want to feel "God-like"? i think that is just wrong la. why want to be God? so much responsibilities, so much to handle (from bacteria to volcano eruptions to famine to wars)..... haiyah!

it also worries me that the world is coming to an end and that my children may not be the perfect (or near perfect) Muslims that i'd want them to be (if i have children at al la). i don't want my generation to be the screwed up ones because i don't want to be responsible for their screw ups (huge torture in hell you! i don't even want to hear about hell when i die). or will my generation be one of the last Muslims that die out in the small war where they'll die together with the last true believers before the gate of forgiveness closes on the rest of the non-believers? (this is what we Muslims believe for those non-Muslims who're reading this).

i think i've strayed a bit from the topic of my discussion here. (i'm feelin intellectual today). this movement reminds me about the big controversy in america last year when the lady lead a congregational prayers made up of both sexes. i wonder if she's related to this nation of Islam movement.

okay, bye.
*peace out*

calcium pills

i went for a consultation the other day. what would normally cost me only S$50, cost me AU$100 here (and minus a few prescriptions as well). and i only get to claim back AU$46.95.... not AU$47 coz apparently, even 5cents counts here. hmph! pathetic! so! i will NOT get any of the vit. A cream frm here anymore. its 20buckaroos here while it costs less than 10singabucks backs home (okay, i'm being corny).

however! the only consolation for seein the doctor was..... to see the very adorable broken legged doctor. heh! he led the way to his room and instead of him askin me what's wrong, i asked him what happenned to his leg and he had to explain me his 'very bad fall' that resulted in the 'very broken bone'.

i told him of my shoulder, he felt it and he reckoned that i need physiotherapy. and i told him he needs to eat more calcium. 'oh yes! i'm on calcium tablets now' he said.
and thus my title.

okay dah.

ps:thankyou for the support with the new living room look! even my landlord likes it. heh!

hot brown sugah opens her trap yet again

getting down to the basics

i sold them! i sold my living room! i missed it at first. someone said i'm pathetic, i'm lonely, i yearn physical touch coz i love things that don't breath. did some thinking bout it... well.. that person is 90% wrong la.

yeah, it gets lonely here but juz talkin to ppl back home is enough coz i know this life will be finished soon so i'm juz gonna enjoy my alone (or u might call it LONELY) moments. i won't get it back home. i live with 4 other ppl in a cramped 4 room flat. i can't even have a say on what i want im my room coz, apart from sharing it with dolna, my mother will not have us throwing things out no matter how useless and old they are. no need to mention the old, dirty (according to MY standards eh!), crappy, peeling, murky green, super hapak kitchen. its my mother's territory. i can't even fry and egg without her nagging at me for messin up HER kitchen. how can one mess up the ENTIRE kitchen from frying a bloody egg? (okay la, nothin's impossible... stove top bursting into flames and taps busrtin but that didn't happen okay.) so that is why i want to live alone here.. coz i run this apartment the way i want it, my mother has zilch say in it and i absolutely enjoy it.

yeah, i'm a manic depressive.. that's coz i have alot to think about for the future. i owe my parents their retirement fund and i don't like owing anybody their life. i feel that i have a huge.. no.. gargantuan sized responsibility when i come back for good and i don't know if i can do it at all. i am selfish, i put myself in front before others. well... why should i suffer just to make ingrates happy? (no, i'm not referring to my parents). i want to do so much things when i'm finished here but can my parents wait till i settle in my career? if i have any in the first place that is. how long will i take to repay my parents?

its not the simple things that bother me... its the responsibility that i have in order to be a good daughter that's makin me depressed and worried. i don't need physical touch, i'm happy talkin to my friends even for 5 minutes. i am easy to please in that way. i'm not lonely, i love being alone. i started appreciating and enjoying being alone last year when playmate was gone (*sob*sob* she dumped me for a teaching career! ;D hah!). if u say that's pathetic, by all means, that's your opinion and u're entitled to it.

at least, i shop well when i'm alone. no pressure to hurry and nobody to copy me.

so! enough of the 'deep' side of me... here're the pictures of my nest... too bad some of u can't enjoy the pink couch anymore. but its okay, if u want to have a taste of it, its only a couple of streets away. heheh!
