I am not obliged to update regularly nor put up posts to your interests.

here's how it goes. i'll most likely reply on your tagboard. but if you don't have one, the reply goes here.

ok since everyone seems to express their goodbye to 2M emotionally, i shall too.

Goodbye My Lover by James Blunt (edited)
And as you move on, remember me. Remember us and all we used to be. I've seen you cry, I've seen you smile. I've watched you sleeping for a while.
I know your fears and you know mine. We've had our doubts but now we're fine. And I love you, I swear that's true.
Goodbye my lover.Goodbye my friend. You have been the one. You have been the one for me.
And I still hold your hand in mine. In mine when I'm asleep. Goodbye my lover. Goodbye my friend. You have been the one.You have been the one for me. I'm so hollow, baby, I'm so hollow.I'm so, I'm so, I'm so hollow.

yesterday, halfway through the assembly, i realised i was supposed to bring pe shirt instead of house tee so after the assembly, i ran around in search of pe shirt. i should thank yingying for accompanying me to prefects room, ariel for lending me her pe shirt, & azizah for lending me hers a bit later. then i had to give out some forms to sirius. after that, i rushed to the 4hrs-leadership-course which allowed only 20 mins break. once school ended, i had to get ahma's form before handing it in to ma'am. i should thank jessica for helping me distributing, collecting & giving it to maam. & whoever who followed her. if not for their help, i wouldn't have time to take lunch before belay school.
as a result, i didn't have a proper farewell yesterday with 2M. i'm afraid i'll regret it. but hey, we did cheered our lungs out & had fun with balloons the last 2 periods. i left the classroom with the apple from our family tree & the name we pinned up at the noticeboard behind as artefacts of classroom 2M. (:

dear classmates, thank you for missing me because at least i know i mean something to somebody. i'll miss each & every one of your unique personalities.

bergema takbir raya bertalu-talu di corong radio
menandakan tibanya Syawal mulia
menoktahkan Ramadan suci
menjemput keriangan umat Islam
tidak mengenali tempat, usia, mahupun pangkat
semuanya menyusun sepuluh jejari dengan rapi
memohon keampunan sesama insan
oh syahdunya aidilfitri...
ingin juga kumemohon maaf
andai diri ini yang kerdil terlanjur kata
terkasar bahasadari hujung rambut ke hujung kuku kaki
yang telahpun diri ini bubuhkan inai
halalkan makan minumku jua

i seek your forgiveness if i've hurt you in any way (:

it has been chaotic.
we planned to bake our brief verison of pineapple tarts yesterday but it was cancelled as the masjid called for help. they need to settle the demand of ketupat-s. 4000 okay. i kinda enjoy tightening the weaving of the ketupat. make sure there's no gap in between so that rice won't fall out.
we left at 6+ to break fast at the macs nearby. just me, kosong, & barom. the rest decided to break fast at home. i feel bad leaving the moqsue with still lots of work to be done.
walked home while eating chococone & mcflurry. once the ice-cream finished, barom & i sang our way home.
i thought it was possible to make cornflakes after Isyak. somehow, i was attacked with headache. it only subsided this morning. i know there's blessing behind it.

ps: i think the curtain doesn't contrast the dining room. & it does look like typical malay house.

i want to bake that burger biscuit or whatever you call it. mum baked it some years ago for hari raya & it's the most popular among the guests, especially kids. we no longer bake it now as mum said it's troublesome - based on my memory, it's 2 layers of dough with chocolate in between, like a burger.

my family will be celebrating hari raya with a newcomer. she makes the preparation of hari raya more alive. she's a kaypoh and we wonder ARE ALL CATS CURIOUS? haha. di mana ada kerja, di situ ade tompok. lol quoted from kak iza.
whatever preparation we do, she stares at it because it's the first time she's seen us doing all these. baking biscuits, putting up curtain, cleaning of windows, etc.




mum took out the curtains from the plastic bag and was folding them when tompok was busybody enough to get into the plastic. she's foolish enough to attempt to help mum folding the curtains by reaching out her hands(into the plastic). but she only managed to reach a few centimetres away from the curtain.


i can't wait to jalan raya with 2M!

kurang TIDAK puas hati ar dengan kertas melayu! & i knew the kata sendi nama would be ridiculous as it's kind of subjective. & the lengkapkan teks...the symptoms of food poisoning is like more to general knowledge than language skill lah. i'm VERY disappointed in my malay result. it's been dropping. help.

by the way, kak iza & i went to bazaar last saturday instead of sunday & we ate that ice-cream!
i'm currently listening to raya songs & nek senah behind me is humming along. haha cute.

recently i've been looking through my primary school juniors' friendster profiles & their photos. oh my i miss them, the school, the building, the classroom, the uniform, the teachers & my friends. thank goodness there's friendster that makes the world a smaller place. not forgetting blogs too.
i remember, this time two years ago, my friends and i were preparing a malay dance performance for hari raya celebration in school. this was the time we got into trouble for bringing in outsiders into the school to teach us the steps, & for abusing the trust given to use the music room for practices. i still feel guilty.
i know i'll miss 2m next year.

people think mum is at the advantage of having 3 daughters. unfortunately, this is kind of untrue.
yes, i'm making my parent's life difficult by behaving like a child; reporting every single wrong thing that barom does & being very calculative. the other 2 anak dara-s are seldom at home & when they are, they throw tantrums for being asked to the house chores. they'll compare how much house chores each of us has done. like HELLO, i'm at home most of the time so it's me who always do these works & you're complaining?
is it so hard to help mum, the person who has been taking care of my needs, out? the thing is, they're taking advantage of me not being able to fast. & my "free" time now that exams are over. Well not really...I wasn't even spared when I was cramming last minute info into my brain. Kak iza said study was an excuse. Okayy...but she herself did that. I tried pointing out this to her but she thinks she's always right.

i need to go out more to avoid house chores.
Speaking of which, I haven't gone to the bazaar yet. Let's see...Saturday is out (road marshalling). Sunday, yes, I shall go there.
ooh...i love tampines mall on week days during exam period.

shoeless during exams/tests or lessons = ungracious.

yay we made honey cornflakes with chocolate chips.

today i learnt something conservative yet still applies to the modern context of life. that sons are different than daughters.
ha ha so the COMPLICATED right.
