Sunday, April 24th, 2005

Wow! Another week has passed so fast…da last time I blogged was exactly a week ago…where da hell did all da days went to? This weekend was definitely much more hectic than da last one…nyahahaha…Went to Mayfair on Fri with Khabi, Jay, Pragash, Alwin, Noddy and Vijay…made Noddy and Khabi tried this shot call ‘A walk in da park’ …nyahahaha…well…we didn’t really walk in da park after that…unlike da 1st time I took it…apparently I was skippin all da way to Mackers after that…hahaha…then on Sat, with a bitch of a hangover, went up to Mt Nelson at around three with Khabi and Pragash to start cookin for da partttaayyy…it was mad rush to finish all da cookin by 7:30 before people start pourin in…crazy siakz!…cooking for more than 30 people is definitely NOT what I want to do every weekend…hahaha…left Khabi’s place at around 11 cos Noh was buggin me to go ISOBAR so yeah…went with Nisa, Noddy, Shah and Noh…it was the relaunchin of da club where all the uni students go to all da time…haizzz….sad siakz…there was nothin that spectacular…dunno what they renovated…at least I can see the difference in Surreal/Ignition when they renovated da damn place…Newayz…went back to Khabi’s place after cos I promised her that I would…Most of the people had left by then…those who were there still were pretty much smashed…Had another lazy Sunday today with the exception that I woke up again to a hangover…Najjib offered to take over cookin today cos he wanted to make baked fish…Damn niceeeee!…Now I am gonna start panicking abt my assignment…nyahahaha…Serve me right…

Such a lazzzzyyyy dayyyy!! Yaaawwwwnnnnn! Jay came inside my room at abt 10 to wake Khabi up but I got up as well…I would always be jolted from mah deep slumber if someone comes into my room…a natural instinct I guess, unless I am already very familiar with da person walkin in and out of my room…Anyway, it’s already 1:14pm and I had just jumped back into bed cos Khabi, Jay and Noh have left da building…Got a feeling that I will be in bed da WHOLE day…hehehe…Its a cold day today…perfect for snuggling underneath da doona with da laptop on my tummy and my reading materials beside me (just for show…ahakZ!) Da past few weekends have been very quiet…as in no parties,clubbin or drinkin til u spew your guts out…(eewww!) Juz been bummin around at home with people coming over to watch soccer and if boredom reaches da max, we’l juz grab some coffee fr Salamanca Bakehouse…I guess now is the time where everyone has assignments up their arses and there’s roughly 6 weeks left before the dreaded exams…so yeah…more quiet, boring weekends ahead…

One thing…many words…

‘Cucur…Cekodok…Jemput-jemput’…and they all mean the same thing…at least for where I come from dat is…It is so weird that I am in a western country but I am more in tune and very much in touch with my roots more than when I was back home…Majority of my friends here surprisingly are not Aussies but Singaporeans and Malaysians from the same ethnicity…And it is from them that i learned more about my own culture and it’s not like I had ever forgotten my own roots but I was more comfortable conversing in English with my friends back home and our Malay, although similar in writing, is different in speech and delivery because of each country’s and state’s unique street slang. i think I can talk to my dad in Malaysian Malay now cos’ before I couldn’t fully understand him and my cousins in Malaysia now so they dun think we are arrogant or anti-social…hahaha…Tapi mungkin dorang nanti masih tak faham ape yang aku cakap, kot? hahaha…I think my sisters are gonna slap me if I use the word ‘kot’ all da time when I go back or they might even disown me as their sibling…hahaha…Anyway, I wasn’t saying that as a Malay, I can’t speak my own language…And yes, Naz…I do understand most of what people are saying…its just that it’s harder to respond back in the same lingo but not now…hahaha…
REFLECTIONs OF DA DAY:
- Singaporean Malays tend to mix Malay and English when they converse, thus tarnish the purity    of the language…
- Malays in different countries have their own unique slang and street talk, so it is not my fault if I can’t understand what is being said initially…
- The beauty of the language and culture is gone the moment westernisation took place…Watching Puteri Gunung Ledang made me realise the true beauty of my culture and the language in the olden days
- Absence do make the heart grows fonder in this case and in an unfamiliar environment, one tends to grasp at whatever is familiar and soothing…
- Why is this entry starting to look like a plan for a an essay?!! Better stop now…

P.S: Whatever is written is based on my personal feelings and thoughts. It is not meant for dissing anyone or anything…Cheers!

I WANT A NEW STOVE!!!

I want a new stove!!!! Haizzzzz…the landlord has promised us a new stove since…I can’t even remember…haizzzzzz…Cooking using da camping stove is too expensive and I am drained out financially…
Juz finished cleaning da kitchen cos he said he will be comimg around 9am with da new stove tomorrow…let’s hope he remembers…haizzzz…
I dunno why but da past few days I kept thinking about my friends n family back home…nostalgic moments…missing them like crazy is makin me into a social recluse…My friends in Tassie are a great bunch…being with them soothe the ache of wanting my darlings to be with me..its wen I’m by myself that everythin sucks…Neways, back to chirpier tone…
The weather is gettin gloomier…its cold n gloomy but I love it…didn’t really enjoy summer and da tan I was gettin beats da purpose of me being away from Singapore…The leaves are starting to change colour and fall and its beautiful…Its so fun walkin up especially at Lord Street and kicking da leaves around…
Had a break da whole day today from doing any form of school work…Assignments were getting to me and da past two days had been crazy…I spent da whole afternoon cleaning up da mess in room caused by assignments, changed my bedsheet n doona cover and basically bummed around after that…It’s 1:30am now…better stop procastinating…Gotta go for my nightly hot shower before jumping into my heated bed and start reading da novel…Have to finish it before Thursday’s tutorial otherwise I will be clueless to what they are jabbering about in class…Being enrolled in a course so called meant for bimbos and supermodel wannabes doesn’t mean I have to be one…not that i can if I wan to…ahakz…so yeah…do your reading Dee…

Today’s Forecast

Friends and lovers — there’s a very wide dividing line between the two, right? Well, usually. Now, however, you may find yourself in the midst of a very strange situation, wondering when the lines became so blurred.
