Mid-Sem break has started!!! and as usual, the boys and Georgia have all gone back home. Cait left for the Gold Coast this morning (bitch) and Chris left for Newcastle (bigger bitch). omg i already miss them! Thank god for Sus and her 2 week break from placement.
Have I ever mentioned just what an angel my dear Sus is? i think not. i love this woman for trusting me with her car, for letting me drive to work in the morning & for not being afraid to try my weird dishes. We've always had amazing adventures together & of course, the first country out of Aussie she wants to visit is our tiny island. I feel very honoured thank you. She wants to wear our baju kurung, go figure!
so yes, I was supposed to head out to Blanket Bay this week for a camping trip with the boys but the weather's been utter misery. i know Victoria needs rain, but chill on the 100km/hr winds??? if only im 30kg lighter, i'd be floating somewhere down the Murray River i tell you. so yes, that camping trip shall remain undecided for now.
on another entire different agenda, Simon Black gave me an 18 day extension. SERIOUSLY? that arse is mad.. buuuuuttt, i'll take it. 4 more essays and I'm over it!

2 weeks...
Adik will finally be in the same city as I am! as you can tell, i am VERY much excited. It also means more exploration of dear Victoria and what-has-she. I was asking him what he would like to do when he gets here and by the sounds of it, we're gonna conquer it all! woot woot!!
(p.s: boy, please bring your cold wear thank you. like i said, Melbourne weather is the MOST unpredictable thing one can only experience & imagine).
speaking of exploring, guess where i went to last weekend..
the Great Alpine Road baby! yeah.. it was very much beautiful & breath-taking views all the way. I've always been contented with the Sony Cybershot that i own but just for that moment, I truly wished i had a better camera on me. But all was good. What I got to see was pretty much embedded in my memory as soon as i saw all those gorgeous alps. I was once told that the best camera was our eyes =) As much as it was fun road tripping with the girls, i wished people i loved back home got to see what God has allowed me to see of His creations.
these were pretty much what I saw all 1000km worth. I'm starting to wonder if I'll be able to do this when i get back home. Road trips, camping, the shenanigans... BUT, enough dwelling cause essays are due right about now and I'll be on another holiday soon enough. oh you know me, never enough! =D
p/s: am so glad he received it *winks*

so i told myself not to cry today. but i did.
called mum from Safeway to ask her about ingredients and from no-where i started tearing. seriously, i thought i could do the whole "raya away from home" shit, but i guess not. what i really miss about today would be waking up to Ibu's screamings, telling us to get ready to visit the first house as Nyai is at Aman Dos's place. the traditional 'minta maaf' to everyone in the family and of course, stuffing myself with glorious food and the many arrays of cookies and cakes. i miss this.
called Dad when i got back home and I started to cry again. I never had to minta maaf over the phone ever and I could hear Dad starting to well-up just from his voice but all he said was "it's ok. Ayah doakan hari-hari semoga kakak selamat selalu. Jaga diri baik-baik, lagi 2 bulan kita jumpa ok?"
and what did dear Mum say? "Ibu dah maafkan kakak dari dulu & selalu memaafkan."
as I am typing this, i am still crying over the fact that the whole first day of raya has gone and past without me being in the presence of family and relatives.
you can say it's an experience all right and I did it. thank you to my beloved Marian and Mirosha who are always there to celebrate and acknowledge these little things from home and enjoy it with me. what would i ever do without them here? i dont know.
oh, and i've been listening to raya songs on REPEAT for the past week. i miss home, i really do =(
so here's a little video of my lonely raya di rantauan dedicated to family and friends.
SELAMAT HARI RAYA, MAAF ZAHIR & BATIN KEPADA SEMUA.
jikalau Nurul dah terkasar bahasa atau tersilap kata, mohon ampun sepuluh jari dan sehingga kita berjumpa pada tahun depan..
I love you and miss you all back home terribly much and i'll be home soon =)

well, considering the "auspicious" date that it is today (09/09/09), i'm gonna remember the events that happened quite vividly for a very long time.
for one, i finally got called for a job and i like my client. i now know how i wish and hope my future household will look like =)
for two, my baby brother liam had a reality check and though i really didnt want to be the bearer of bad news, i'm glad i told him. you'll be alright, toto-san.
everything's looking up and i should be glad. im taking it a day at a time now and it's been awhile since i went out shopping and shits. sigh, i really do miss DFO. really.
cait is dragging me to NZ and Fiji. am seriously thinking about it. will definitely fill up my december! i love that woman, (when she's not high OR drunk).

the weather's pretty shit today but i guess it's alright when i have THIS to look forward to =)
whenever i sit down and start procrastinating, i will start realising how my time is getting a little too short around here. as much as im avoiding counting down to the day i'm flying back home, i can't (reality's a bitch, i know). so i'm not gonna think about it anytime soon (i hope) and think about my job, the places i'm planning to drive/fly/train/bus to in the next three months.i am UBER excited and yes, it's gonna be a fruitful season kids!
WOOT WOOT!!!
p.s: adik! you better start planning your own itiniery please.

i should really get some inspiration to write but the fact that my floormates are all running emotional support groups right now is just hilarious.
why that's happening you say?
well typically, you will never EVER see Sammy cry, oh, but he did. not after he got wasted and then the topic of the Victorian fires suddenly came about. trust me, its not even funny one bit. my poor Sammy. he compartmentalises his feelings so much that the moment he let it out, it took me 3 hours just to rock him back to sleep. now, that's a story ill tell my grandkids.. "ahhh.. i remember the time when your grandpa Sam cried a freaking river......."
but he's all good now and i miss him cause he's gone back to Shepp. not before he surprised me by lending his big-ass monitor for the weekend. a 'Happy Birthday (for the weekend) =)' note was what he left me. seriously, how can i not love him??? speaking of love, that boy has the licence to pillion now and we're both gonna ride out somewhere far, just far far away from here.. i miss looking at mountains and plains and long unwinding roads.
well, apart from Sammy, Liam's another story. but despite all that's happening to him right now, he was there, when i cried at 1 in the morning, for god knows WHAT reason (ok, i knew the reason but im choosing not to remember it, kapish?) and he just held me for an hour while my tears wet his shirt incessantly. and all that boy did was put japanese anime on his
now, how can i forget Chris... oh my Chrissy (yeap, as gay as that may sound, im allowed to call him that). he just saw me lying on my dead, looking depressed as and he thought i was suicidal or something. same afternoon, he surprised me with a big ass box of LINDT chocolates. ok, if you dont already know, LINDT chocolates are some freaking expensive shits. but oh soooo damn good. What comes as a shock to me though is that Chris has always acted like a dickhead and an arsehole to everyone but he pulls out this one gesture, and i promised i wont call him a dickhead for a month. haha.. i love this kiddo too too..
gee.. and i just typed in 4 paragraphs about my boys when they try to make my life here a living hell everyday making fun of whatever i do. sigh.. love runs deep around here, i tell you.
but most importantly, ive gotten over it. its time for a new fish. yeap, as Jason says it, "many many fish in the sea my sister from a different mother!". hoho...
i have much to look forward to these couple of months. it makes Ramadhan move just a little faster for me =)
(a) camping trip with all the kids i love from Chis (Benny boy has a 15-men tent please.)
(b) road trip with Cait, somewhere
(c) adik's coming on October 8th and im just too excited to see him. i knw you're extremely excited too boy! canberra hello =)
(d) HOBART.
oh please, i still have plenty of assignments and online tutes stuff to finish. so bleargh!
p.s: what's the definition of a brilliant beyond brilliant idea??
ans: putting Cait's bed into my room to make a Queen and a slumber party with everyone watching Little Rascals and Dennis the Menace.
college life is love kids!!!

so September is here.. and the count down has begun.
somehow, i feel my life in shatters at the same moment when happiness is still all around me. yes, Tom, you broke my heart all right.. and i'm gonna hate you for life for doing what you did. damn me for investing THAT much. we had so much fun and but i knew what i was getting myself into, still, you could have just pretended. i know you still care, that you say you miss me always, sadly, i believe you. so why? i don't know just doesn't cut it Tom. really. seriously.
i'll miss the happier times we had. but i guess that's all fond memories for now that's gonna last me till i find that "malay doctor" you want me to marry oh-so-badly. don't go wondering why i hate you in the facade of my smiles in front of your face.
Don’t keep your love in your heart
Leave it in the sun to fade
Don’t pretend that love is safe
With backs turned we are betrayed
Don’t let illusions fool you
As love’s magic is a lie
Don’t let this love take control
As only in vain will you cry
Leave it in the sun to fade
Don’t pretend that love is safe
With backs turned we are betrayed
Don’t let illusions fool you
As love’s magic is a lie
Don’t let this love take control
As only in vain will you cry
