hot brown sugah opens her trap yet again

oops!

correction...
fifty more days!

anyhoos! one more house today. heh! i love raya. but sadly, this marks the end of my raya journey this year. don't know if i'll experience one more next year. oh well.....

7 more modules. if i clear this trimester (Insya'Allah i can, AMIN!), i'll be left with 3 more. i'll do 2 research papers next trimester and another one the trimester after next. which means, i'll be done in one year's time. so much for proper planning. i wanted it to be done in 4 trimesters, not 5.

i want it do be done and over with so i can move on to the next phase: save&collect as much money as possible and MOVE OUT. i get along with my mother better when we're thousands of miles apart.

my today

or more like yesterday.

1- handed in final trimester assignment *woot!*woot!*

2- signed up for another module.

3- went raya-ing to cousin's place alone (like i said, i love raya.)

4- ate like a you-know-what-animal

5- got another substitude marriage proposal (the next one's gonna feel what its like to have a stiletto shoved up his arse. i'm not a sub!)

and now, i'm re-reading my friendster testimonials from long time ago. somehow, i don't remember that funny, high-spirited person anymore. coming back has sucked the life out of me.

ps: i just remembered that if a person takes careful, detailed note of what he/or she is eating, it means that that person is having some problem with food. in my case, i can't stop eating. so its all good!

pps: one more week!

ppps: 58 more days!

pppps: you know who you two are! *wink*wink*

random update

i've a major reflective paper that's to be handed in on monday and i'm still 2000 words short. in other words, i'm screwed. the thing is, i've to look and criticise (constructively) the counselling videos and i simply dislike looking at myself on the camera (i don't like my teeth la). so not looking at myself is a coping mechanism for me to forget about my horrible buckies (my buck teeth. yes, teeth. two of them mah). so yeah, i can submenge myself in denial about my teeth. but of course, i'm thankful to God for providing me these 'gates' so i don't spew my saliva much as i speak, unlike sylvester the cat =)

and! i love my jalan raya la. i've always loved jalan raya. but parents are such killjoys. they think its an obligation while i think that its the time of the year when you catch up with the relatives that u meet once a year (bumping into them in the streets don't count. and neither do deaths. and wedding for that matter). besides, i've come to the lifespan period where visiting my buddies' families are considered as a must too. well, not really a 'must' must but its more like a formality (i think) to the buddies' parents coz i've been gallivanting with their children the whole year (not 24/7, obviously). i dunno..... its just nice to catch up with the close ones, i feel.

however! (there's always a but, huh?) i've too many relatives and dad won't have the time to complete all related stops, literally. i don't know other relatives well so visiting them on my own is like putting me in china. in fact, i think i'll be more adaptable if i were dumped in china rather than being in someone's house i don't know very well. i'm not speaking to the mum (we're keeping it to only neccessary terms here. eg: "I'm off!" would be what i'll say as i'm leaving her house. details aren't that important anymore) so going out with her alone is a no-no. besides, she will NOT spend her money on transport if its based solely on socialising, really.

this brings to the point where people don't like the 'visiting' part during eid because well..... THEY DON'T KNOW THE RELATIVES WELL in the first place. screw that thought i say. that's what visiting is for isn't it? to get to know your relatives better. don't know them? then get to know them. for those who're left with no choice but to go visiting, might as well u seize the moment. why chose to be grumpy and angry while u can be joyful?

that said, i've 3 places in mind to go next week (after the assignment, before my counselling practicum begins).


and one more thing! (last but not least)

bun in the oven!

heh! for the first time in my life.... i was delighted beyond imagination when a friend told me that she's expecting. well... normally i'll hear from those who aren't that close to me. my reaction would be varied, but mostly cynical, like:
1- well yeah, what do u expect? they'd adopt pets?
2- about bloody time, they've been married for ages.
3- boy aren't her parents gonna flip! (unmarried cases *note the plural*)

but! this is waaaaaay different. no one close has told me that they're expecting. so this is suuuuper cool la. i'm like a jakun. don't try to imagine my reaction, i think the malaysian astronaut saw my teeth as i smiled like a mountain goat.

but! amidst all the excitement... lets not forget mummy-to-be's feelings. mummy-to-be isn't feeling too well... knowing how hectic work is for her (think 12hour days in the office) and with the hearing coming up soon, i hope and pray that u can manage. 5 more weeks till u finish the 1st trimester (which i heard isn't easy for most) and hopefully, it'll be smooth sailing afterwhich. if u really cannot take the morning sickness (in her case, its morning, afternoon and night), there's always the morning sickness medication (i read it in other mommies to be blogs).

OHMAGAWD! i just realised that u can start wearing the mummy-sleeveless tanktop i got you! haa! how exciting! hang in there sweets!

GOOD LUCK MILLES!

strange

some people whom i've known for at least six years (soufi's mum) and my whole life (kakaks upstairs) suddenly commented that my nose is 'sharp' (mamak blood at its best i'd say, Alhamdulilah).

after knowing me that long, they suddenly noticed my nose.
the weird thing was that they sounded surprise.....

errr......

i wonder what else they haven't noticed about me.....

maybe i should ask if they've noticed my big feet (broad size 9 or 10).

or maybe my ten fingers instead. that's a basic start i reckon.

envious, pissed, unhappy.

anyone who wakes me up from my sleep to ask me questions about living in wollongong because they've got a place there will make me depressed..... and depressed i am right now.

well...
good for your for clinching a seat there.

good for you for being able to live there for at least 3 years.

good for you for being able to go to woolies (AND SEE MY FAVOURITE WOOLIES BOY!)

good for you for being able to go to crown street mall.

good for you for being able to stay close to omar mosque.

good for you for being able to go through ramadhan and eid there.

good for you coz u'll have the city beach close to you.

good for you coz you'll be where i found myself.

good for you for being able to visit shehmoo (ARRGH!ARRGH!ARRGH!).

good for you coz you'll be able to do things that i throughly enjoyed.


you'll get to know all the places that i've been to.... but i'm sure you won't find the peace and solace i did at my favourite places there.

and no, i won't tell anyone about my favourite places there. its the only thing i've got that no one has (i'd like to think so) and i'd like it to remain that way.

in the spirit of ramadhan (or what's left of it), i hope you'll do well, generally. amin.

hot brown sugah opens her trap yet again

my fictitious story

i've been trying to come up with an ethical dilema that may arise when i see a client. it took me months to think about it but nothing came up. finally, as i was chatting wit my 'dubai boy' i came up with THREE stories! (two of which were thanks to him).

story 1: my client came to see me to come to terms with his past. he used to be a big time drug dealer (to the extend that he has injured quite a number of people because they owed him money). he was responsible for a big scale ecstacy party that resulted in a few OD deaths. the police couldn't get any evidence to convict him and he reamains a free man. this client was remorseful for his actions and has since quit the line of work and had gotten himself a stable deskbound job that he is happy with. the counsellor (that would be me) has issues against drugs, her mother died because of an OD of valium when she (I) was younger and is strongly against the use of drugs. would the counsellor inform the police since they're still looking for the dealer for that ecstacy bash still?


story 2: i am seeing a client, sydney (yes, yes, the city. i'm missing it heaps la). sydney's husband is a notorious gangster and he was suspected to be behind the assasination of a few prominent figures in the society, including my very good friend who was running for a seat in the parliament when he was killed. during the sessions, sydney said that her husband has less than 2 years to live as he has a chronic disease and he is using all his time left to do good (eg: charity funraising, donation, volunteer work, etc). sydney also let it slip that she knows where her husband hid the gun that was used to kill all his victims. the police were never able to convict sydney's husband because of the lack of evidence. the gun that sydney's husband would be the 'grail' of his conviction (i have no idea how i thought of the grail). should i break my confidentiality promise with sydney and help the authoroties convict a killer? a killer who seems remorseful and haas only a short time to live his life meaningfully? dilemma! dilemma!


story 3: sydney suspects her husband of cheating on her. she has proofs like dockets of jewelleries he bought (that wasn't for her, of course), jotted down the timing of odd hour phonecalls he'd receive and etc, etc, etc. sydney is contemplating whether she should save the marriage or end it. Sydney is also wondering if she should confront her husband about his affair, meet up with the other woman or just ignore it. these are the reasons as to why she wanted to see the counsellor. sydney wanted the counsellor to guide her through her decisions. one day, sydney came for a session with a blurred photograph. sydney saw her husband walking arm-in-arm with the other woman. sydney didn't manage to get a good look at the other woman but she was satisfied that she had real hard proof about her husband. sydney showed the photo to the counsellor. to the counsellor's horror, it was HER photo with her fiance that she loved very much and was planning to marry in a year and a half. jeng!jeng!jeng! what should the counsellor do? in one hand, the client's well being was her priority and responsibility. on the other, it was the man of her life. how? how?

guess which story i chose? correct guesses will be rewarded (with a praise). heh!
