8 years going on 9...
some really overdued stuff.. so last wednesday, with the only initial thought of running mother's errand and having lunch together, sal & I managed to roam aimlessly around bugis with no sense of shopping needs whatsoever (i'm serious!) and we ended up chilling at CB with fids & cik abg ros (haha).. in the midst of our usual crappiness however, what are the TOP 5 facial expressions ms salmiah & ms nurul can whip up??
No 1: APER INI?!
No 2: one of our classic moves since waaay back in sec school.. we were in the middle of laughing at a joke and both of us literally stopped to follow the gaze of some damn super hot caucasian fella.. haha.. ini sudah BIASA! (sal, flies could have entered your mouth woman! sheeeesh!)
No 3: slenger bachin!
No 4: why did i look so depressed mcm mak mertua aku dah meninggal?? aper tak.. my UNFINISHED drink was taken away from me. right under my damn nose & i ddnt even see it coming. my goodness! it was like breaking up with a boyfriend i ddnt know i had! and sal, what else can she do but laugh at my misery. basket you! -_-
No 5: colgaaaaate =D
sorry eh fids.. not as if i dont wanna have a collage of ugly faces with you but somehow i think your poses are all the SAME! haha.. boring. (ok kidding, i love you many many) so what was next for us trios??
KARAOKE MONDAY BABY!!
i AM a woman full of expressions slash emotions thank you very much.
"yes YOU give love... a bad name!"
they brought SEXY BACK.
HAHAHHA.. maha khusyuk habes (why arent we like this when it comes to nasyid?) kalau bapak aku tau.. tsk tsk!
eh, i was trying my damn hardest to do a powerstand on the damn unstable couch ok! sexy kaaaan?? hehe..
fids, you were really NOT sober caaan??
singing our bloody hearts & lungs out, with me almost falling off the chair due to excessive head banging, creating our own ABBA moments, crooning to lovesick songs from boybands from way back when (namely A1's ' Same Old Brand New You'.. N'sync's 'Tearin' Up My Heart' and more cheesy titles), it was one of the best mondays ive ever had. and we came out with our voices still intact despite all the orgasmic "oh..oooo... oooohhh" we were screeching to.
thank you my loves for always giving me the best times and memories ever. =))

i just made a freaky discovery.
have you ever had an encounter with a person whom you thought you've seen before but could never place your finger on it thinking "where have i seen him/her man?!".. but i decided to brush that thought away seeing that its really unimportant and quite unnecessary at the point of time given the situation.
so the story goes that i've been taking care of this really sick pakcik and i've somehow created a mental bond with him. don't ask me why but when i was in A side, the only ever tight bond ive had was with Pat (my English pt). this pakcik had the look of a defeated warrior. just waiting for someone to whisk him far away. but just seeing how much his family wanted him to be strong, be alive.. i prayed silently that god would not take him away so quickly and to let them have more quality time together.
to see pakcik's son & daughter ever vigilant by his bedside, whispering endless prayers into his ears, it was just a sight to behold. my mind quickly wandered off to "what if it was my dad laying there??" (ok, i know, what the bloody hell am i thinking to even entertain such thoughts?! but i cant help it cause i know my dad & his ways. smoking like a chimney pipe never caring an inch about his health). and i've never been one to handle such emotional situations well cause i'll either stone and distance myself from the pain or look on the brighter side of things (azi, salut to you who've been taking care of them onco pts, really.) im definitely not a trooper, yes?
now about the pakcik's son.. first time i met him, i was all "wow.. handsome fella.." (like mom said, since when have i not thought all guys are handsome?? good one mother) he had that intellectual look on his face you know.. and there was that constant worry line on his forehead. somehow, just somehow.. he seemed scarily familiar. the way he asked questions about his dad and especially the way he smiled. very familiar. it was as if i've known him for quite awhile but i knew that i've never ever met him before this.
then today, i decided to visit this dude's blog i havent visited in a while but have been reading religiously since last year just because (and i actually remembered an entry he wrote about his really sick father) and suddenly whambhamhellomam! i realise it was pakcik's son! my goodness! talk about small small world. no wonder he seemed uncanningly familiar.. so i gave a quick sms to ai-lin asking her if pakcik is still around. but she gave me the bad news.. he's gone, yesterday, on my day off.
i had hoped to be able to tell the dude tonight about this but i guess i'm just not fated to. i don't think im supposed to feel this sad, no? i'm just glad i got to give pakcik the best care i could afford and made him comfortable during his last days.
so to the dude, i hope he stays strong.. and semoga Allah cucuri roh arwah pakcik.
Amin.

my dearest ab turned 29 just now.. yes, ive told her a bagazillion times she shld be married with 5 kids in tow by now.. but take a look at her closely..
DOES SHE LOOK BLOODY 29 TO YOU?!!! (ridiculous!)
i thrive on her ever youthful face.. moral of the story.. live life, laugh like there's no tomorrow and just go with the flow. but seriously, that's kinda hard sometimes isnt it?? it's the bullshit in between that we have to deal with from time to time..
so in honour of celebrating her big day.. i got McGeek & Cockerspaniel (with straight hair now. tsk!) to join us for board games at Settler's cafe Holland V.. the usual bitchings stories we shared and tell.. and i just realised that we might have been the table with the super serious game faces on. FIERCE!!
ab's new funky chic purple bag.. and this was taken after i molested her, sort of.. haha =)
McGeek: "if you have secrets.. it means you have 'Skeletons in your ____'??"
Cockerspaniel: (exuding all the confidence in the world) "Skeletons in you BODY!!!"
HAHA!! im loving Taboo so much... i shall consider buying a box for future enjoyment with my mates =)
the fast reflexes game. god knows how many times McGeek's fingernails almost puntured mine. sheesh!
the game we never got to play cause even though we set everything up nicely, it became too complicated. (somewhat similar to reality, no?)
my favourite picture of the lot?? definitely the last one =P.. SALUT ab!!
we ended with dinner at thai express.. and sat there till closing.. haha.. terrible people. tsk tsk..
to put it simply.. it was one heck of an outing enjoyed by us simpletons =))

ive been tried & tested.
tried of my patience and tested of my versatility and vigilence. it's really sickening to know that you're being played like a fiddle behind your back but right under your nose. i don't mind having a change of environment & pace but least you could do is respect the person involved by informing her beforehand, no?? karma's a bitch. so i can wait.
there's really no point in me harbouring hopes that they'll change their ways. god knows they'll stick around for 10-20 years more doing the same old rubbish. for now, im still standing tall. ive had enough bullshit from them farts. if u wanna be Plastic with me honey.. you go right ahead and ill welcome you with open arms..
internal politics.. TSK!!!
fyi, for those of you who've been sms-ing or calling me and have received no response, i seriously apologise. the hp was sent to Mr Samsung for repair. (irritating touch screens!) but its alright now.. like brand new! hehe...
lately, ive been staring at photo albums of my friends and the good times we shared (memories, memories) and i came across this phrase from her decription of her photo album in fb,
"People who means something to me today, tomorrow and always.."quoted from my very very good friend who definitely means something to me today, tomorrow & forever =)
madgirls, we'll seriously meet soon, I HOPE!!!

ohkaaaay.. it's been a while. it's a case of lazy bones i've been suffering from lately. not to mention the kind of crap i have to put up with here & there.
right, let's do some major backtracking shall we??
all the way back to 1st august a.k.a nurses day a.k.a kit's last day at work..
i already miss kit terribly but so far she's been doing abso-superbly great at her new job. (and she's been psycho-ing me to quit too. jeez! mana wa mau pegi beb?!)
of course there was massive amount of food. and not to forget the yearly nurses' day "gifts" from good ol' singhealth. so we got a cheaponeneh pillow cum blanket and a windbreaker. dengar-dengar singapore will have winter soon lah gitu -_-
ok next!
rimma's wedding on the 2nd..
we still cant believe our rimma is already somebody's wife! congrats babe!! and after which, me & AB went for supper at al-ameen.. yes, we have stomachs made of steel. too bad Gintama cldnt join us. i KNOW he wanted to, that sarcastic bugger.
finally...
HELLO BINTAN!!!
though we paid quite a wee bit more than expected, one of the best holidays ive had in a looong time.. it was more of chilling & relaxing.. enjoying mother nature at its best & being together for happening moments. god knows how much we got to share about each others' life stories, bad habits (VERY BAD HABITS. TSK TSK) and just pure comical moments.
this is just the beginning.. like vaneneh said.. "where to next??!!"
what say you guys surprise me in melb next year eh? HEHE...

"itu jam nak berak, itu jam cari jamban" and the damn boat is leaving in less than 7 hours, SHIT) i shall make this chop chop..
it's finally going to be just me, vaneneh & preet with THE SUN, THE SAND & THE SEA =))
see you loves in 3 days!! (with massive camwhorings of course.)
