busy little bees

I can't wait to watch Lars and the Real Girl, like zomg GOSLING, I'm such a fan! Hehe.
And I just did my super speed wash-hair technique again where I sit on my chair, half in half out of the toilet, fully clothed and just start shampooing my hair. Malas nak do it all the way. -wiggles eyebrows-

Rao & me were talking alot of bullshit in the train just now that I've completely forgotten except for,

"LOL."

"Hard disk."

"Pictures."

"Cikgu, Raya, Satu rumah."

"-giggle giggle-"

Intelligent and witty conversation yes?

I've been missing school more and more these days, telling Sandy all those horror stories about project work and insane group mates makes me feel so nostalgic. I kind of miss the drama of rushing for submission and cursing your teammates to the high heavens. Sigh. I miss you TP!!!! Work friends are kind of limiting. I can't flit. I want to FLIT!!!

Occasionally (like today), I suddenly think of random people and the things they used to do in school, and I feel like randomly texting them but it's weird so let's not. Was thinking about Michelle, Siejen, Liyan, Shaf, Jasmin, Felix, Delvin, Chef Joyce, Mr. Neo.

Yes lah some damn random like I don't even like, such as Mr. Neo but was just thinking of the time Siejen was convinced he was coming on to her like some chikopek lecturer and how she got really good at disappearing at a moment's notice.

SHAF! How you doing in Conrad?? Haiz. Not forgetting TAMI & DADAH. I think about them alot too (macam lah kiter jauh sangat), in the airport together and I just bet they got alot of horror stories to tell and biler lah nk jumpa kalau bukan this Saturday right??

Please meet me!!! Suddenly I miss my non-existent poly friends, cos I've always invested more time into GM. Boo. Better msg them and this entry is becoming too long so okay bye.

I went through all the hassle to get me a library account, paid for it and all and then I realize that I can plug in my thumbdrive. -bangs head on the wall- Im like SUPER screwed. Super fucking irritating lah. CHEEBYE. And school's closed and I have presentation on MOnday, dunno what time dunno wear what and I still have not plan my speech lah so bagus lah tu. BAGOS.

I feel like Raya is sorely lacking this year, like a blister on my underfoot that is throbbing but aku sayang nak meletupkan. Dunno why lah. I hate seeing people jalan-ing Raya cos I feel like an empty tupperware of makrons.

And I realize that this Raya, I have not taken the public transport in my baju Raya once. Not ONCE. Maccows what is the world coming to that you have to fit in 9 Milahtants into one car?? And I feel like I've become more snappy and short-tempered, but I've always been like that except I show less restraint now. Ntah lah. So it makes me feel crappy afterwards.

I want to upload all my pics, I want to do up my pics and post them happily and post my videos and blog on my blog, and update my Facebook and Friendster but all that seems fucking impossible so please get my a laptop but ah what's the use kan cos,

AIYOH. I'm tired of using technology and technology HATES me. KNN.

So sorry guys and please read, MY COMP CRASH so yes. I hate repeating things that are in black and white so please eh, if dah sah aku tulis, go BACER! Not my fault your reading and comprehension skills are poor. I know I've told Yati to go brush up. HEH. See there I go again feeling super irritated. I just skip annoyed these days and go straight to irritated. Ah well I do things in extremes now. No wonder I feel so bulat and constipated.

And my sis flew off last night and aiyoh, thought I could use her comp but it was not to be. How is it that in this modern day of IT savvy teens, I'M at the library loking at the clock ticking down on the amount of time I'm allowed to use the comp?

Again, KNN.

Ah let's not talk about. Meanwhile, work has been a blast!!!

Really?? YOUR HEAD LAH. Blast me into outer space and go supernova lah.

Haiz. Oh even though Rao & me were reluctant to go Mdm Noor's cos mainly for me, I didn't want to call her cos I'm kind of scared of her, Im glad we did cos we always have sooo much fun there like really really. Really.

"Maner satu yang Nuraini tu?"
"Alah, NURAINI!! NURAINI!!"

Cows really turning into makciks lah, with our vague handmotions and insistence on repeating words in hope by the 5th time you hear it, you'll know it. Geez.

Okay lah sampai sini je cos I gotta go home and kemas.

Ps: Linkin Park coming in Nov, on the 13th I think
And MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE is coming on Dec 11th.

I've always said I would like to go to either of these two band's concerts and waddya know???

But don't have money and friends and I rather go MCR's nyer leh, cos I know their latest album better, while I don't know LP's last two albumbs though I loved their 1st one.

Anyways, who offers to go with me? Anyone? ANYONE? Hahah yah right like that misai would give me off. Nov I think cant cos I try to get off for Samba's & Sya's things lah okay wahlau pon aku malas nak jumpa si prata man okay bye.

first day of Raya

Hari Raya is in what, 2 days? And I know ANTICIPATION and all that and sometimes (most times) it feels like the glory and joy of the first day is just fading away. You know what you need? Bunga api. As in sparklers. And Izzah playing bhangra music at night while she cleans.

Yes Izzah you are part of my Hari Raya traditions, the things that psych me up. The night before Raya cleaning that means so much more than the first day itself sometimes. It's the pre-party bash you know, cleaning the house and yelling at one another for not doing work. I feel sorry for Iza cos she gotta work and so, to my dear sister, CHEER UP. I'll look at the house fondly and think of you. And you just KNOW everybody's going to be asking about you so there go, inflate your ego.

I do need psyching up you know. The feeling is so hard to get every year. Are we jaded? I don't like to think so. My priorities may have changed (who cares about duit raya anymore) but I would still like to retain The Feeling.

Anyways, for alot of families, first day of Raya isn't all joy and tears of happiness. Usually, shit hits the windmill and splatters on the whole village. I guess that's what happen when you force the whole family together and make them acknowledge the fact that they have to spend the next few hours in each other's company. Somehow, that makes some people tick like a time bomb.

Small things usually get blown out of proportion and I know my family has had it's fair share, usually about clothes or about being late or about the lontong not being of equal sizes or god forbid, slippers! -hint hint-. And you'll have a family member storming off and ripping off their Raya clothes and refusing to join in the festivities.

And us kids, all set to go a moment ago, will have to sit down and wait for the adults to work things out. The Feeling's gone. Just, CUT IT OUT PEOPLE. Oh but my (or rather, my sisters & I) favourite line to throw at our father when he yells about about baju Raya is,

" -insert appropriate emotion- DAH AH! ORANG PAKAI DAUN!!"

or

"-refuses to put on the outer garments- DAH AH AKU PAKAI COLI DAN SELUARDALAM JE. -practices greeting Nenek & our father just to lepaskan geram-"

Classic lines.

Oh the point was, IS, that first day of Raya may suck. It may suck so horribly that you would wish that you had been born a kuih tart instead. But I guess what I'm trying to say is, traditions need to be upheld. Or maybe new traditions should be made.

Or a brief moment of feeling The Feeling should be enough. Because, who's happy throughout the first day of Raya? So many things are going to go wrong but I know that I am most happiest when my whole family is there in the morning.

Booo work sucks. Sorry Iza, I feel for you. Go ask Aishah to nag at them. The way she was threatening to threaten my bosses, you would think she owned the Birdpark. Geez. And she only got back today!

So, anyhoo, peace out people and have a very Selamat Hari Raya and do what you think is right and sometimes, some things can't be helped and it has to be done so do it okay? Forget the guilt for a while and experience the moment. Moments.

You get it?

Like why are we here? and where do we go?
And how come it's so hard?
It's not always easy and
Sometimes life can be deceiving
I'll tell you one thing its always better when we're together
And all of these moments
Just might find their way into my dreams tonight

bird news!

These two happy people are Budiman & Gerren, happy-go-lucky keepers (from what I gather so far).

And they came running into the pantry carrying this fellow! Isn't he gorgeous?!

This is the hugest lizard I've ever seen. Not really lizard lah, but kind of like iguna. I don't think it's a monitor lizard even. So macam dinosaur. You can find him and his friend basking in the sun at Jungle Jewels. Just step over them cos they'll be blocking the path and won't move for anyone.

Found two baby chicks in the aviary yesterday. Cos of the trees dropping and all that. Made me nervous like hell. So cute kan, still in the egg!!

And the doctor was so cute, she was like, "I'll rescue it!!" Cos I think I looked damn worried, having to cut papaya while seeing the chick struggle in its bloody egg out of the corner of my eye.

This was the 1st chick they found, still on the nest. And they GAVE it to me and ask to send to the hospital! And I'm like whaaat, carry it just like that? And they said YAH. So I walked ever so slowly there, and paused briefly to check if it was still breathing. Actually, it was sleeping. And when I gave it to Yang, she poked it awake. Wahlau buat penat I tiptoe my way over to BRC!

But they are so sweet lah. If only I am allowed to take care of baby chicks like my friends. BEST tau! Get to teach them how to fly!

These are some of the birds in my aviary. The aviary I'm taking care of lah. On the left is a Superb Starling and on the right is a Golden-breasted Starling. HEHE.

And finally, this is Ah Lian. (for lack of a better name that suits her). Bad-tempered parrot, no wonder her owner gave her up. But oh so smart!! She likes to walk on the ground and grumble to herself and pick up twigs and break them to show how pissed off she is that Pinky & The Brain (pigeons) are trying to steal her bread.

That's all for now chao!

Oh and my sister is coming back tmr and I'm in such a Hari Raya mood and my hands are all inai-ed! Mehandi mehandi!! Thanks Rao for my left hand and part of my right hand and thanks Bah for my right hand!!! HEHE. Really gets you in the mood and I sooo don't want to go to work and get my hands wet.

And I really want to watch Princess Hours but my mum tak terpekik macam nak makan Tina & me so I better go. Plus she gave us 3 makrons each. YAHOOO!! Yul!!!

trouble troubles you when you troubles trouble

I've fulfilled my obligation! Gone to Geylang at least once this Ramadhan. And yes I still hate it. Bought nothing, just stood around in the heat. Fas & Sya bought alot of food, don't know why, they must've been real hungry. Naza got her baju raya. Ayu & me got air bandung. Rao, do inai okay okay okay???

Geylang is such a paradise for parasites! URGH.

I am @ school now, listening to my lecturer talk and my other coursemates talk about their SIP. Seems like those in F&B and hotels have the most interesting stories, about interacting with guests. I mean, I DO have interesting stories but not really funny because yes the birds are really cute and whatever but it takes some time to be fond of them and if you don't know or see them, you won't really care.

Who wants to hear the story about how this baby Helmeted Guinea Fowl got separated from his family and got really upset and started honking? Anyone? Anyone? You people should get inside my head and hear my own narration about these birds.

Anyways, most of the funny stories would require you to go through frustration, humiliation and being yelled at by stupid irritating guests. Muahahaha. So no I rather not.

Hari Raya is next week people! Excited! Aishah when you coming home? I got off, I hope my supervisor remembers he gave it to me. Okay losing my train of thought so okay bye.
