You're my Spicks and Specks

Hellooo.

ok I haven't been blogging because I haven't had anythinggg to blog about! I am basically on my holidays now cos I have no exams. I know.. When I tell people this, they ask me to go away. lol. I haven't been doing anything at alllll.

Dainty Dresser

this cute little card came along with the skirt I bought online, which reached earlier today. pretty :)

I haven't bought anything online for quite a long time.. Just turns out I had a bit of extra cash to spend this time around..

Also arrived was the little present Steve and I got for Si Gila's birthday, which is on Sunday.

Nadea :P and the ring I got her. Its actually this Puzzle Piece ring in black and red, but it was too big to fit any of her fingers, except her thumb. I got it online, and had the seller send it straight to her name under the Curtin address.. You know Curtin didn't call her like they called me, so I woke her up and told her I saw her name under the parcel recipient list when I went to take my parcel. Then only did she wake up and go take it. She opened the parcel when she was seated next to me, ahaha. Glad you like it :)

Happy birthday in advance!!

Today marks our 5th month of being in love.. :) May there be many more months to come.

I love you so much.

Going for a bbq/ drinking sesh at the beach tomorrow! I am going to be in jeans :S I am not a fan of the beach! And I am very prone to mosquitoes and sand flies. Sigh.

Not much has been going on.. Just a little bit of friction here and there. I swear, I just can't stand some people.

Gnight and cheers! xx

Good luck to those taking exams and see you very soon! I am taking Summer Course :(

ITS A HARD ROCK LIFE!

I ..

am supposed to be finishing up my 10 page script! Well I am 8 more pages down.. 2 more to go.. Thats hard because it is 4 AM and my brain cells are dead. Last minute work sucks. I usually DO do last minute work but not at such drastic measures. I finished my 2500 word essay earlier on at like 2AM. Both of these are due at 10AM later. I know no excuse triumphs but I've just been so packed with stuff to do.

I just finished and handed in my weekly readings on Friday. MS 216 is a fucked up unit and I really advice you not to take it if you have the option. Trust me.

Hmm. A happy belated birthday to Nadun, Mmediong and Karibi! Steve, Matt, Berty and I went to the house party at their Mmediong's place, two houses before where Azfar used to stay. Hell, I miss the good old times so bad, its painful :( I wish everyone was still around. Those house parties at 3570 were the best :) Anyway, I was a bit lost at that party because I wasn't that familiar with everyone. I mean, I knew almost all of them but I wasn't in the 'gang' type of knowing, you know what I mean? We basically just stayed in one corner for a good hour or so until I got bored and decided that if I wasn't gonna do anything, hell was I going to drink. So Berty, Nash and I snuck to a corner of a car and downed some gin (smelled & tasted like detergent! you just know that shit's gonna be hardcore!). Lol. It was enough to get me merry for a little while. Gala showed up too, but he was already gone from a party before that one.

We left just before Ben wanted to punch Rohit for saying that Commerce students are dumb. Lol.

On Saturday, Steve and I went to town to get ready for the Aloha Football Night later that night at the Recreational Hall. As you can tell from the name, the theme was a Beach theme, and thus the dress code was 'appropriate beach wear'. And since I am the secretary, I thought I'd follow it. So we went to Bintang to find something to wear. Mission: FAIL. -.- I couldn't find anything I specifically liked so as we were running out of time, I just grabbed these pair of flowery shorts and a top. And new flops too, courtesy of the love.

After that we went to the florist to get flowers! :D

pretty yellow ones to signify the SUN. oOo

THEN there was the AGM at 3pm. Its quite sad la how I didn't get to go to the Mass Comm party. Quite sad only la, because I saw how maboks Sumit got afterwards lol. THINK OF THE BOOZE. Lol (I am really stressed out). But anyway, yea, we had to go to the AGM for CFC's committees for next semester. Anyone could go, as everyone was invited. Those who were there voted for Michael Owan as president, Steve and Basil as 1st and 2nd VP respectively, Hill as Treasurer, Larrie as Vice Treasure and yes I am eating my words loud and clear now, me as Secretary for the third semester running, and Nadea as vice. Everyone was invited so if you don't like the new board, kick yourself cos you could've made a change! And I knoooow I said I don't want to be in the committee anymore but ah well, lets just say, when the president personally requests for you and only you to do the job, you're obliged to say yes. Plus, Steve's in the committee too. If he's going to hell, I might as well go with him. Plus plus, can't deny I love the club. Remember, kick yourself if you don't like the new board cos you could have voted otherwise! Ah ah ah!

Then we had the All Star Match. Sayang's team won with 2 goals scored by Taha. The teams were what you can call imbalanced because Pee Chee's team Pro-Goal (I KNOW) had more of the really 'All Star' All Stars. No pictures cos Nadea, Mea and I left early to do our hair. Haaaa gila semangat kan.

And now pictures for Aloha Night. Only few cos my beloved camera died on me shortly after the event started. I managed to charge it again before we left for Soho though.

Aloha :)

Nadea and I

Geng Topi and Ralph!

With Peech, who left already :(

One of the lucky draw jerseys sponsored by Ralph- the 2010 Italy jersey. Sayang wanted it sooo bad but the prize went to AJ instead. Haha.

Lol. Ex-president Syamim Shukor, people!

Khaliq and I. A looot of girls came in the prettiest sundresses and I just went in shorts, a top and flops. Ah well. I guess its good not to define the norms. I basically live in shorts. OH the flower in my hair is reaaaal, yay!

Lingesh, Navin, Agillan and Raj.

Gold medals for Sabah FC

Sayang won the Best Midfielder award! I am so very proud of him and I think he truly deserved it. I photoshopped the wording on the award because guess what, they had the spelling wrong -__- It is actually an 'E' in place of the 'F' so its 'best midEielder' -___- WTF

Best rookie: Amirul from Kelkatu

Best Goal keeper: Joel from Galacticos (I seriously did not expect this!)
Best Defender: Ahmed

Best Striker: Raj

Golden Boot: Raj (sombong one la he)

Best Manager: AJ

and.. Sayang won the MVP too! :D

Although I am in the committee, I didn't know the results for the awards. So I was pleasantly surprised with the outcome of it. I am so proud of you sayang :)

The event was okay. There was JUST enough food for everyone. Barely just. The food wasn't bad though, catered by Lakeside cafe. A job well done to the committee members for materializing the night. Cheers and an amen to CFC 2009!

my light to lead me through the storm :)

We went to Soho after that. Spontaneous decision to just tumpang with Avi.

The bunch of people there!

Sayang, Neil and Avi

Neil, Sayang, Nan and Avi. Nan was there with his girlfriend who flew downfrom KL.

with Sumit maboks! He was maboks from the Mass Comm party earlier on! Maboks all day AHH!! After I took this, I found myself faced with the freaky clown -.- It was Martin -.- I screamed and he laughed. -.-

Angie also maboks!

Geng

:) We didn't do much there. Went to CJ with Sayang's friends, then went back to Soho, then to Al Fresco. We were just following them around. hahah.

the only (presentable) picture I took at Al Fresco. Got la one of Angie jumping on us from behind but that got blurred, haha. Sumit Harry Potter Maboks Batu. Hah.

K its almost 5 I reaaaally should finish up my damn script. I'm nervous abt my units, I really am keeping my fingers crossed that I pass everything. I have to.

P/S not homeless anymore next sem! Not staying on at Lakeside either!

I'm going to go finish my script now....

But one last thing before I do..

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO RAE AND BECKIE!!

I miss the both of you soo much. I hope you guys have a blast today! Love love loveee!!

xxxxx

Love from miles away baby.

I find myself falling in love with you all over again every single day.

:)

I could be Violet Skyyyyy

Something Datin taught me how to do with Photoshop. Haha. :P I am such a Photoshop noob I swear. I wish I knew how to hardcore edit my photos.. Speaking of which, there's an exhibition of the Journalism students' work at G2. I was very pleasantly surprised when I went into the building. My pictures are up too, and I cringed a bit cos they weren't really so pretty. Meh.

Dear and I- taken last week

We went to Citrus for lunch. Haven't been there in a while.. I love the place because it always keeps up with all the occasions.. It was decorated with bats and spiders for Halloween this Saturday.

Had the usual baked Chicken rice

He had the beef baked rice..

Random picture of Pee Chee and I during a CFC meeting earlier on this week. Stups is leaving after 2 weeks and not coming back! :(

Okla I haven't been doing much. life has been soo mundane.. A lot of work due this Friday and then on Monday. I am really worried about my units..

Ok I am going to go to bed now.. Going to continue doing my work tomorrow.. So many readings.. I swear I don't understand half of the things I type for them :S

ok I'm going to bed now. :) Gnight.

C F C

Okay I think I made it very apparent that I was/ am very unhappy with the way the referee behaved at the game between Galacticos and Kelkatu. I think it was positively, undeniably and blatantly ridiculous for the referee to give a free kick to Kelkatu because Joel "deliberately held the ball too long" 5 minutes before the game was to end. And don't even get me started on the red card for Sean.

Ridiculous.

I hate this. I don't know how, but CFC really needs new referees who don't hate their jobs.

Fuck that. I'm just relieved the season is over.
Being the secretary for CFC for one year has been... a mixed emotion kinda thing really. I've had the great and the messed up times. The first semester, though, was the best. We miss you, Chris =)

Dunno when this was, but Steve was the man of the match for the game earlier on also. He scored this really neat free kick. :) Always my MVP.

Its been a long year. CFC is a big, big club and possibly the most controversial in Curtin. The committee is always being criticized and hardly ever praised for anything (very apparent in the CFC blog (in which I have no access to)). I guess thats how it is, and how it will always be. I don't plan to run on for Secretary again next semester, unless it comes to certain circumstances. But anyway, here's a brief look at my post as the secretary for 2009 so far. :)

The first match of the year, the community shield between Sabah and Trinity

Last sem's committee.

Sabah won that match.. It was sponsored by Milo. One of the great jobs done by Chris in ensuring sponsors.

Galacticos sem 1, 2009

This was during the testimonial match by Yogesh. The blue team won.

Sultan! No doubt the one of the best footballers Curtin has ever seen.

Joel as man of the match. It was amazing how when he went in for Crazy Stone, goals conceded magically started to drop drastically.

Machanz as last semester's champions.. (after Sabah and Eagles were DQ due to a public spat)

And the Open tournament that Curtin participated in, and won. Led by Dinesh :)

Cheers to Curtin Football Club. I've done my part with the pictures, bulletins, assigned tasks and certain paperwork. I've learnt that I can't please everyone. I can't please the winners, the losers, the crowd, the referees, anyone.
That's not my job anyway. It has never been.

CFC still doesn't have a confirmed president for next sem. Jeng jeng jeng. Hope it all goes well.

Cheers. I have so much work to do its insane, but I am going to go to bed now.
gnight suckaaaaas. :P

You get what you give.

Successfully handed in my Photo Essay earlier on today! It was supposedly due yesterday at 5 so I had to have 'the talk' with my lecturer and onitofo, he agreed to accept it today. And yes, the assignment left me a hundred bucks down, out of my own allowance. Sigh. So uncool. My picture theme was about durians and my lecturer didn't like the pictures I took -.-

But he said this one was ok. Its also my favorite shot :)

I love durians! We went on a durian trip the other day so I could take pictures at the same time. I am sooo relieved my Journalism 318 and 213 is officially COMPLETE. COMPLETE BABY, SUCK ON THAT.
Now I have 3 more major final assignments to do, and my weekly journals from week 7 :S

Anyway, I dug up some pictures to blog about. Forgot I had these on Steve's phone..

We went for Snow Ice! I think its the same company as the one in Brunei but this one had so few choices.. Its somewhere behind Boulevard. This was.. some banana chocolate thing.

my heart & soul :)

It was ok. I wish they had the Banana Splits and all like the one in Brunei though. Epic stuff.

Bla bla bla.
I want to go shopping but I'm so low on cash now thanks to the photo stuff. Brillianttttttt.

xx

No title lah!

I just got back from the field and Galacticos lost :S

I'm not gonna be all sore about it cos Sabah did a great job on their part. Chill.

I was with my parents til earlier on today. And I typed this on Wordpad while I was with them last night:

I'm at home with my parents.. They came to Miri and picked me up earlier on. Its been nice. Being with the parents is nice, but mostly just in doses. So here I am sitting in front of my laptop watching Gossip Girl season 3, texting Steve and typing this in the company of hot chocolate. Yummy =) I'll be heading back tomorrow and that will leave me right on time for sayang's match at 5. Galacticos is all I care about when it comes to the Curtin Football league. I can't say I care for shit about anything else about it anymore, really. Talk about being disappointed with disappointment.

I'm so scared that I might get a breakout on my face because usually when I am this stressed, the zits come in swarms!! I'm really all edged up by all the work I have to get done. And the funds for it too. For my Photo Essay, we actually have to get 8 8R photos developed, on our own funds! I asked a few places and the average price for one is about rm13. /slits wrist. (rm13 x 8)+ whatever amount of cost of cardboard + special spray to stick photo on cardboard + blank CD = broke and unhappy Abby. T___T And I don't even have any photos that I personally think are worth developing! But I don't have enough time and I really don't think photography can be done with a deadline! I feel like I've been painted in a corner T___T And, And. And, yes, I hav yet to start on the 2500 worded essay. And I'll be homeless next semester! I need to find a room to move out to but so far, no luck. I found this place and when I was just about to confirm it, the girl told me it was already booked out a few hours ago. Sigh. I really need a place next semester, I postively have to move out of Lakeside. And also I am contemplating on doing Summer Course. I don't know anything about it and the deadline is like... when? I know its soon (or worse, over). I'm so confused, I have so many things to think about and do.

Ok. I just had to let it all out because I am just so black-clouded by all these stuff. I'm going to post some pictures now. Sayang and I went on a full afternoon to get my work for Journalism done. We went for a detour first though, to get my eyebrows done. It hurt so bad, it felt like the girl released an army of red ants on my eyebrow! She plucked it really quick, and I think more than one at once, I don't know but it hurt as hell. But ah well, no pain nada gain baby. After that we went to Bintang to meet this guy called Hafiz Yahaya, and he's an artist. You know the booth at the ground floor at Bintang? The booth comprises of 4 people; 2 of which are the ones in charge of portrait sketching and 2 on caricature sketching. We went to interview him for my feature article.. He was quite nice and was really eager to talk about his work. He's really good too. We watched him sketch this baby who wouldn't stop moving. Such a cute and fat baby!

Haifz at work

such a cute babyyy

that blue thing was to get the baby's attention so he could get a good look at the baby

haha!!

eee so cute!!

=P Not maternal instincts or what lah, the last thing I want is a baby atm.

After that, we rushed to Kampong Pulao Melayu, where Gala and Gomeng were waiting. They brought us to the Penghulu of the kampong and we interviewed him about the changes of the kampong from years and years ago.
Thanks a bunch to Gomeng and Gala who helped me with all that, and also for the tour around Kampong Pulao Melayu!

Ok I actually cheated and Steve had to interview everyone for me. This is because I can't speak bahasa for jack. Sigh. Thank you sayang, I don't know what I would do without you.

Gomeng and Gala

The penghulu!

OK I got to go now, and I got to give back Mea her broad band. Meh. I am going to the Circus later. Just for fun. :)

Bye xx
