Comfortable.

I honestly haven't been listening to John Mayer for quite some time now. Ever since I decided to 'venture' out of my comfort zone and choice of music by investing in Korean music albums. And after that settling down with instrumentals. Which is still what's on constant repeat on my iPod.

I probably owe readers a proper update after long abandoning this blog, but I really can't at the moment. Coz:

ONE: I'm not even writing from my own Macbook. And we all know how bitchy I can get when that happens, coz I'm apparently much too acquainted with Macs nowadays.

TWO: I'm not even staying at my own house yet. I've been leeching off my friends for the past (almost) two weeks. I'm very grateful, and I'm sure that they don't feel burdened by my presence (at least thats what they said), but I can't help but feel slightly ashamed. And for some reason, blogging using their internet connection makes me seem more a leech than usual? LOL.

Cehh download movie, songs, etc berbagai tak rasa bersalah pulak.

THREE: I'm not IN THE ZONE. Anyone who recommends Britney Spears should just, slap their own heads. NOW. Oh wow I also give lame threats now. But back to the point, where I need to be IN THE ZONE to blog. Coz whenever I'm not, I'll end up writing pretty stupid things. And I need to be COMFORTABLE. And in my OWN SPACE.

I'm in the process of doing that to my bedroom 'space' at the house I share with three friends (this is as good as it gets coz its pretty impossible to find decent one person per room homes here), that I don't even care how much I spend on things anymore. I held back before, coz my housemates hold on to their money pretty well, so I didn't want to seem reckless.

But heck, almost everything here that would cost no more than 100MYR costs LE200++, and I honestly don't have the time, or patience to go browsing around everywhere for the cheapest option. 

NOW I DON'T CARE ANYMORE. MUAHAHA. Its not like I'm gonna throw away a LE300+ carpet away after a month using it kan? Not like I'm gonna burn a LE400 bookshelf when I get tired of it kan. Its called an investment, and I'm all up for it.

As long as I'm happy, then F all the money on Earth. JYEAH.

So once I'm ready to properly blog, you'll just have to wait. WAHAHA. Really. Still funny how I'm so confident that people are still reading this blog. But hey, as long as the numbers on that counters still moves up, then I'm allowed to, yes?

Till then, mon cheries. I'll even tell you The Dodol Incident and WTV it is that I promised a while ago. LOL. 

Post-Raya.

Hey guys!

Happy Eid-ul Fitr to all! Hope your Raya was a good one. I know mine was! It started off not quite as I expected, but, mehhh, I'm really set on not letting anything bother me and get in way of me having any fun these days, so what I did was shrug it off... and the whole day afterwards was a BLAST!

So I would definitely recommend this kind of attitude. Okay, some people might get pissed at you for not caring, but hey, nothing's gonna bring me down babyyyyyyy!

I would like to proceed on how the day went and all the deets, but not until I upload the pics into my Mac. But before THAT, I need to get my hands on an external hard disk. Estoy tan desesperada, mis lectores del companero! (Don't you just loveeeee Google Translate?) If my obsessive download habit doesn't stop (and I don't plan to anyway) then my Mac is gonna end up with no space at all.

Its already almost full, proven when its unable to provide space for me download a full TEN SEASONS of the Pokemon series. -___-" I wanna watch Pokemon so badly nowadays. Its ridiculous. I also wanna watch Sailormoon. *sighs. But it ain't happening with no disk space.

And I also still owe you guys an explanation of The Dodol Incident that deserves every right to be written in caps. LOL. 

BTW, asked Mama if it was okay if I wanted to purchase a keyboard / portable piano in Egypt, and she said she was planning on telling me to buy one herself. YAY!

If you don't know, okay, Wowo, really now, you're not a celebrity, NO ONE knows. Okay so the thing is, well, the guitar can get a tad boring when your barre chords sounds like you're strumming on rubber bands, and a tad disappointing + frustrating when your fingers are quick enough to play John Mayer's 'Comfortable', fingerstyle. 

Eventually I began learning Glen Hansard's 'Falling Slowly' on piano. And well. Lets just say I learn piano faster than I ever did the guitar. So my guitar's been pretty much abandoned, other than attempts to play SHINee's 'Replay' on it, and the occasional 'Hey Soul Sister' by Train and 'Penny & Me' by Hanson.

Then I proceeded with learning Fur Elise by Beethoven (eh jap, Beethoven kan? Or is it Mozart? Jap, Google. HAHAH!) ------ Its Beethoven baby. :-P

Followed by an unfinished Big Bang's 'Lies' and Penny Tai's 'Ni Yao De Ai' thats been making me want to want Meteor Garden all over again. I've also printed out these sheet music including 'Wedding Dress' by TaeYang of Big Bang, 'Clair De Lune' by Debussy, Pachebel's 'Canon in C Major' from the OST of My Sassy Girl, and Yiruma's 'River Flows in You'.

But honestly, I do not know how to read sheet music. WAHAHA. And I seriously need to stop using Do Re Mis and instead use D E F G A B C and whatnots. LOL.

So basically I learned through online tutorials, and you could only imagine the bulk of vids I've stored onto my Mac. -____-"

Blahblahblah, and blahblahblah, I really hope to get better in playing the piano, AND read music sheets for God's sake - LOL - and perhaps proceed with yet another instrument. Perhaps continue with my violin, or try playing the clarinet, that I've been mighty curious about.

Well, for now, just let me enjoy my weekly dose of Kim Hyun Joong through 'Playful Kiss'. *fangirl scream!

Surely enough, if you know me, or if you've been following my blog for some time, you would know that I have a weakness for men who reads. Okay, not study okay. Just READ. But like I said, nothing from Alaf 21, or ANY Malay novels for that matter. I don't fancy 'em. 

SO YOU SHOULD KNOW THAT THOSE PICTURES ABOVE ALMOST KILLED ME. From extreme gushing. Seriously. I am not even kidding.

AND he uses an iPod Classic as well! Well, in the series. I mean, JYEAHHH!! Eff everyone who said Apple should just get rid of iPod Classics and tells us we're oldschool for choosing it over an iPod Touch!

Okay, its time to faint + turn into a puddle... NOW.

Okay... whatever you sayyyyy. (in a trance)

I include together at the end of this post, the things I found over on Tumblr that made me laugh.

This made me LOL kinda hard. 

Seriously. Please tell me you men out there aren't THIS ignorant. LOL.

Simple, but funny nonetheless. :-D

Ohh Kelso. How I miss thee.

Awww Joey. I still worry about what happened to you after 'Friends' ended. 

Thats all!

#nowplaying: Yiruma's 'First Love' album. :-)

Crazy Kinda Love.

I seriously don't want to grow up.

Because the future freaks me out, to put it honestly. And my siblings thought the same. Once, when I was in Egypt my mother SMS-ed me, telling me how my younger sister asked about the hereafter and how everyone would be like then.

Mama told her that every one of us will be of the same age. And the fact that we'd be without the family we love having around so much during life here on Earth apparently scared her and reduced her to tears. I did as well, upon reading the SMS.

Its true. If it was possible, I'd never want to leave family behind. Thats why I sometimes wish time would freeze and none of us would grow any older, coz everything seems perfect as it is.

Before, when I got to further studies in Egypt, I thought: F*** this. I'm gonna experience studying in the UK if it kills me. Coz, yes, thats how badly I want to. Its always been on top of my priority list ever since, well, I made it a priority.

Thinking a little more deeply, I'd rather take my masters here in Malaysia (if I ever get to, InsyaAllah) coz for as long as I can remember, I've been away from family. Just merely thinking about all the stuff I missed while being away is enough to dampen my days. Although they reassured me that every day, was well, like any other normal days.

But you know what? Every single day could very well be the best in my life. Despite being so far away for quite an amount of time, I think that its amazing how it feels like you never left, and everything just seems to CLICK! And moreover, I love MYSELF when I'm with them. I try not to separate friends and family, but yeah, I'm a little more reserved with friends. While my family just lets me go ALL OUT to the point that my face is in danger almost every nano second from being sucker punched for being wayyy too annoying. -___-"

But come on, lets just all admit that you love me that way. HAHAH.

I guess the point of this post is to tell of how much I love my family, and learned to appreciate them more from my time away. Its true what they say, "You never know what you got till its gone", huh? :-) And though people might say you're bluffing and doubt this if you were REALLY placed in such position: I honestly would take a bullet for my family's sake.

Despite my parents sometimes being such party poopers, my sisters whom I've imagined kicking them in the head (and actually DID, once, and I got into supadupabigtrouble with the 'rents) one too many times, and a brother who I feel like Frisbee-ing my plate at every time he eats in lightning speed, I would never doubt taking a blow, or two, or three, for them.

So, God, may you give my family (and I) the best of health, and present them (and I) with a long life. Yes, I know its a greedy request, but it might very well be the utmost important for I wish for them to be with me for as long as they possibly can.

Regarding the future, its still too far away to predict what'll happen. But if I have my way: You can betcha I'm gonna finish my studies, live with parents, work in Shah Alam, if I choose to continue studies again I'll do it here, etc etc. I'll even want to live nearby if I am ever to be presented with a family of my own.

YES. Future husbands who tries to move me to Terengganu / Perlis / Sarawak / etc, besides KL and Selangor, you better start painting those hunger strike banners, coz you're never getting a meal from me after that. YES. Even though my cooking is bad, I shall experience no shame AT ALL in starving you. MUAHAHAHA.

That is all.

BTW, I already watched 'Playful Kiss' starring Kim Hyun Joong and well, whilst many people thought it sucked, I may have been wayyyyy toooo biased and enjoyed every second of it. Though I'll admit the first episode was a little bit too slow-paced. Well, honestly, I wouldn't have liked it better if it was fast-paced. coughTwilightcoughLagendaBudakSetancough (okay maybe coz they were book adaptations, so it can't be helped.) 

Though I don't wish for it to be TOO slow to the point that I feel like warping myself into the television set just to strangle the characters like Meteor Garden (took you LONG ENOUGH to admit your feelings, San Chai! As if you weren't annoying enough to begin with), My Girl (this K-drama annoys me, SERIOUSLY. And to think that the main character is almost the spitting image of Mister annoys me even more now, coz lets just say that I'm very well over him, and have no intention of continuing our friendship if he doesn't initiate it. Coz WTV okay, I just don't believe in putting so much effort for a guy, its clearly very stupid), etc etc.

I can feel that I'm slowly running away from the topic. SO the point is: I loved the drama. Coz lets face it. Any K-drama with a hero that doesn't resemble Mister is Kim Hyun Joong, I'm only too happy to watch. Though K-drama's kiss scenes, are well: LAME. And this:

... is lame. MAX! -____________-" Is that even considered a kiss? He just merely placed his lips on hers. But thats not important.

And soooo sorry, Mister. I guess I'm just bitter. But I take it as a good sign that I feel like kicking YOU now, instead of kicking MYSELF for letting you slip away.

This is REALLY, whats all. Hmf. Till later yawwww! ^^

I know your front teeth are veneers, and you had nose surgery, but WTV.

Olympus Pen E-P2.

Reasons Why You Think You Should Invest in This Camera:

1. Your current camera is awesome. BUT has a widely unappreciated battery life, proven by the many moments ruined by moans from yourself and friends when an event calls for a photo, and it decides to die out then and there.

2. You have a drawer full of used batteries. This is quite wasteful, in terms of money, and in saving the environment. Basically, speaking from experience, a packet of about eight double A batteries costs me 30 Egyptian Pounds. And a pair of those burn out in an hour. About 5 or so packets later, I purchased rechargeable batteries that promised me eight hours of battery life. Only to feel cheated later when the battery only managed to hum the melody 'Stayin' Alive' to my current camera for no more than two hours. That was okay. If the battery didn't last an hour, and then half an hour after its next recharge.

And finally, all the batteries will get thrown away. Coz lets face it. What else can you do with them?

3. You're wayyy to lazy to lug around a huge SLR, moreover when even your preference over large-sized bags can't help you in easing the burden. Coz the huge-ass camera still won't fit. BUT you still want a camera with manual settings and is close to being an SLR camera coz you don't see any point in owning two point and shoot camera, despite your former one causing problems.

4. You want a stylish camera. No more elaboration needed. 

5. However badly you want to train yourself into becoming at the very least, near-professional, in the field of photography, you simply don't have that enough time, or even if you did, you just don't have enough patience to practice.

6. Your parents own an acceptably amazing SLR camera, and whenever you feel the itch to use one. Borrow theirs. All they do is set that camera on Auto anyway. LOL.

So, should I? Should I? I think I should but... not right now. Maybe next year. I need to save up especially after splurging on an iPod Classic and an Instax. But for now, I'm gonna need to prepare a year's worth of batteries. PEACE!

She Bangs!

Yesterday I tried dyeing my hair a lighter / more chestnut kinda brown. But obviously: FAILED. I waited an extra half an hour than the recommended 30 minutes for the dye to 'soak in'. Apparently enough, nothing did.

I was watching Notting Hill whilst waiting, and in between went and rinse all the dye off, anticipating the brown-ness so I can move on to bleaching the lower part of my hair and get the results I want. Butttt no. -____-" Instead my hair got a little frizzier. As if it wasn't frizzy to begin with kan?!

Randomly enough, afterwards I felt like chopping chunks of my hair. And so I did. -___-" Made my own bangs, and trimmed my hair at some parts, etc etc. I'm quite pleased with the results until I remember why I never kept bangs all this while: They're kinda annoying. HAHAH.

And even more annoying when I'll be wearing a tudung most of the time I go out, and usually I just have to tie my hair, wrap scarf around head, and I can head out. Now, though I think I need at least something to hold of the bangs. ARGGHHH. And to think that my collection of 5+ headbands are GONE ever since I left home.

This post REALLY has no consequential value whatsoever, right? LOL.

Results:

I posted this picture below on Facebook, coz I kinda shamelessly like it coz I look so swagger.

Uh-huh uh-huh. 

But got mistaken as Joey Ramone. 

-______-"

But rather than being quite displeased and unhappy about it, I think I took the comparison to liking, being a person who gets excited to be compared to ANY celebrity. WAHAHAHA.

Yes. I am forlorn like that. Mehh. What can I do.

Formspring.

Okay, I've been neglecting my formspring for quite some time, but now I'm at it again, so any questions / queries / whateverrrr (LOL) do fill in the box on the right side of your web browser.

Please and thank you.

And I sound like a stewardess. No puns intended. :-)

So Long, Brown-dilocks!

Pictures taken mere minutes ago, and YES I am showing off my hair. BECAUSE: I'm bleaching it blonde right away. Hahah. I know, so hateful when Malays decide to discover whether or not blondes have more fun. But thats not the case with me.

I'm going to dye it something like this:

Though sans the blonde highlights coz I strongly believe myself and all other people of my race are just not meant to have blonde hair. I'd like to say that there are exceptions, but up until now, I have yet seen a Malay who can successfully carry off such colour.
