What does this mean?
Saturday, January 28, 2006
but i like cold so i like hong kong. at least you get to wear the sweaters and long sleeved shirts for a proper reason. its REALLY cold. not EXTREMELY cold. but still.
tried to find jackets for the winter in Aussie but everything was either too expensive or there were no sizes. i nearly bought an Armani one though. it wasnt really expensive and it had REAL FUR. really soft. i loved it but there were no more sizes. DAMMIT. ill prolly get jackets in Aussie later. i bought a few long sleeved t-shirts from Zara though. what i like about Zara is that its not made in China. like.. its made from Portugal or Morocco.. or those kinda countries. different.
oh yes. im homestay. im just gonna sum it up real quickly:
they are OLD.
they have a DOG.
and you have to take the TRAIN and the BUS and it takes an hour to get to school.
I DONT LIKE.
so i wrote letter begging to be put in a better home. and i hope they reply because im desperate. but the good thing is after my birthday which is on the 16th of March.. im gonna move into my own apartment. so im looking forward to that. like.. how cool is it to say "I HAVE AN APARTMENT". ill prolly share it with a couple of people but i dont mind. hehe.
college starts in a few days and im actually not ready. im too used to slacking around doing nothing and watching tv and making my brain rot. im getting too comfy and that sucks. and ive been eating a lot so a diet is needed. oh and ive been watching Lost now. yes only the first season because my mom has the DVD of the complete season so i wanted to watch it like a marathon and let me tell you.. IT ROCKS MY SOCKS.
i love it. its scary though. i dont know. its very scary to me ah. all the mystery and shit. NO SPOILERS PLEASE. i like EVERY character and thats a first because in some shows i dont like a character because of something but this one i like everyone! okay enough abt this because i know everyone as watched it and im a bit slow but nvm. i wanna continue watching the 11th episode and so on of the OC! damn i miss marissa.
my flight to Sydney is on Saturday at 750. i cant wait because i heard the weather is great! WOOHOO! not hot and not cold. purrfect. yea k lame.
-------------
some people have asked me with this whole travelling around...if i missed my family. the thing is i dont quite miss them. wait.. YES I DO. but the thing is.. im used to it that i can deal with it. like how i lived in S'pore for 6 years without my grandparents and 2 years in Malaysia without my parents and soon 4 years in Aussie without ANYONE. im quite immuned to all this. my trick to it is not to think about it. NOT ONCE. dont let your mind wander off because if it does.. youre gonna have a breakdown. keep yourself occupied by doing something because not thinking abt it is my only solution to this problem.
i was sad when i left Malaysia because i knew i was gonna be alone... but i wont think about it and i wont let myself. i think what makes a person strong isnt just physically but also mentally and emotionally. people might say im stoic but thats just how i handle things. its different but its the only thing that gets me thru my own life. no one migt understand but hey.. its your own life so deal with ir your own way and i deal with it my way.
EW. this is getting too dramatic.
i think i should be signing off now. ill be blogging when im finally settled down in Australia. Email me at israk88@gmail.com if you guys wanna keep in touch or something alright?
ill see you guys when i see you guys. NOT literally. :D

i passed out and cut my tongue a few days back due to excessive vomiting. i wonder how these bullimic girls do it. it makes you super duper califragilisticly weak! omg. SERIOUSLY.
i spend quite a lot of money shopping 2 days ago. bought clothes! WOOHOO! i kinda feel guilty coz my mom said dont buy anymore stuff coz your luggage will be heavy. but i dont listen and im gonna get it when i arrive in hong kong on tuesday. shiet.
oh yes! i bought a BenQ laptop the other day! its super REALLY NICE! i love it coz its not too big or too small. just RIGHT. and its... BLACK! so i dont have to ever worry if the laptop's color will be "in" or not because black is always in. I LOVE MY LAPTOP.. but its stashed somehwere and ill only use it when im away from home.
this morning i went to meet my OTHER family. you know? my dad's side. i still feel like there is a void. OBVIOUSLY. because ive never met them before.. and then suddenly.. OKAY THIS IS YOUR FAMILY NOW. well they gave me some money. how thoughtful. MORE SHOPPING THEN! gotta get 2 pairs of shoes and etc. oh and i have a GREAT GRANDMOTHER! how awesome is that? like.. GREAT GRANDMA!! shes 90-something and she's chinese. i think shes really cool... like she tells me interesting stories and stuff. shes quite hip too! she got a new nokia flip phone the other day and then i accompanied her to klcc because she wanted to buy some clothes. DESIGNER ONES. AWESOME RIGHT? and shes my GREAT GRANDMA. altho i met her for a couple of hours I LOVE HER ALREADY. she sayd she might be gone in a couple of years so shes really thankful that she got to meet me after 17 years. she cried after that.
quite sad tho. i never know what to reply when people talk abt death.
and tonight ROCKED AS WELL! ive been having these fantastic days and i'll keep em as memories to keep me going in sydney. ill really miss my friends and family. HAIIIH.
oh yeah.. we had dinner at TGIF and they had really fabulous food.
OH GET THIS.. i told them that it was me and shaira's birthday so we got free dessert and free cheers! HIP HIP HOORAY! very very very fun and happening kay. haha. and a lot of pictures taken.
oddly, i dont have anything planned for tomorrow, my last day in malaysia. eh wait.. yes yes.. im going shopping. how could i forget a SHOPPING TRIP.
i think this is it lah. my eyelids are getting very droopy and im dead tired.
i just wanna thank Geetha, Nisha, Sarah, Hanis, Noreen, Fauzi, Faiz, Shafiq, Shaira, Aston for coming to my farewell dinner. it really IS farewell.
i think im done here for now.

On the 15th of January 2005, the schools of Sri Inai Senior celebrated its graduation cum farewell party cum prom. It lasted 7 hours and my body is aching but it was all worth it.
My Grandfather and Mom attended to event. It started at around 11am and "Summon the Heroes" accompanied the Graduating Batch of 2005 in. My mind wandered off a bit and i thought about Outdoor2002 but I snapped out of it when we had to line up and receive our awards. The funny thing was, they had to give me this basket to put all the mementos and prizes because I couldn't carry it with my hands.
KL went first and the PJ and after that we took photos and bla bla. There were a lot of speeches made my the Head Prefects and Chairmans and etc. After the whole prize giving ceremony we had to change out of our robes and get ready for the Best Dressed Competition. Surprisingly.. I won.
Yes.. I won.
I was quite dumbfounded actually because it really was a last minute decision. I wore a striped dark blue suit with a black shirt and a shiny red slim tie. I also added a rose to my pocket so that it'll match my tie. It was quite a simple outfit but yay coz i won. Shaira won for the girls. Nabz and Johan won for PJ.
After that we had our lunches and watched videos made by bith schools. Quite saddening though. It was a bummer that we could not hear the actual song. BOO.
Then Me, Adib and Wany were chosen to be the judges for Talent Time. It was an overall good performance. Thanks girls for tributing a dance for me! You guys rocked! HAHA. I gave them quite high marks because they were good! Yeah and they WON. Lol.
After that the whole Form 5s went up on stage and Noreen and Shafiq recited poems on behaf of us and then we gave out roses to the teachers. PJ sang Yesterday and thats it. After that there were closing acts and etc.
Finally.. at the end of the whole event.. we had this Mass Dance. It's sorta like clubbing but with teachers watching and very limited space. IT WAS GOOD FUN THOUGH. I was so lethargic after that and my body is aching now and im so sleepy. We danced for about an hour or so and then everyone left for home. Some of us went to the nearest Mall to hang out for awhile to catch up on things.
I reached home at around 9 and this was a very long day indeed. I'll upload pics A.S.A.P. and not now coz i dont have time. It was a really good prom because everything went smoothly without much cock-up.
Oh yes.. I'll be leaving for Hong Kong in a week and then spend a few days there and I'm off to Sydney! Whoopeeeeeee. I'll miss everyone though. Truly. Its okay! There will be MSN!
I'm dead beat and so i end this post here. OMFG i realised my English is beyond horrible and i need to buck up. SERIOUSLY.
Awards I Won:
-Best Arts Stream Student.
-Best in English.
-Best in Commerce.
-Best in History.
-Best Dressed.
I realised these few years have been quite good for me actually. Hmm.
Hello Australia and Goodbye Malaysia. Miss you I will. Heh.

with the milk and the sugar thing.
delish.

the year has been quite okay so far. its the 2nd of january and ive not been doing anything much. went out with fiza and shamin today for lunch and then later met bhoot. had a lot of laughs today and went everywhere. 1st was to OU then walked around a lot and we saw this HUGE monopoly game in the middle of the shopping centre and we wanted to play but it was full.
and walked again to the carpark and then we headed to fiza's dad's house in damansara and then we went to BB to meet bhoot. after that to klcc to have a few drinks. and after that to wangsa maju and had dinner there and reached home at 10 plus. im basically just regurgitating today's itinerary and yes its boring but i donno what to write about.
oh yes. my mom called and told me all the flights to sydney is booked and OVER booked and so im screwed. im gonna miss the orientation but i like orientations coz thats when you go to school and not learn anything yet and just absorb the surroundings. and now its gonna be so rushed and i hate that la. dammit. i told my mom to book the tickets earlier but no, SHE DIDNT LISTEN TO ME. people should listen to ME. at least consider what i have to say.
secondly, she wants me to have a twin sharing in my homestay. i dont like that because it means i have to share a room with another person. i have a low tolerance for idiots and im afraid that dude might be a freak. there is this mutual thing between the weirdos and me in which they hate me and i hate them. i dont know why but it just happens. what if he steals? he is crazy and psychotic? he SNORES loudly? he is FAT.. like OBESED FAT..? or SMELLY?. okay fine yeah he might be normal but lets look at all the possibilities. the possibilities are endless. im used to staying alone in a room and staying with someone for ONE YEAR will prolly SHOCK me to death. if that doesnt kill me then probably he might.
okay im just gonna think positive and he will be a normal guy. yes. NORMAL. all i hope for is NORMAL.
and my mom told me to cut down on going out and spending too much money. EH WTH? i locked myself up for 2 months okay! i need to LIVE and its already post SPM for God's sakes. i need a life. okay that's that.
i will prolly ask my Dad for allowance and a laptop. i dont know what to say if he doesnt give me. i might SUE. yes sue my dad for 17 yrs of allowance. that will be quite a lot actually. hehe. i wonder what i can do with the money.
ive already found this really good shirt at Hugo Boss and it is on discount so i want it so that i can wear it to prom. but since my mom is saying no to spending a lot of money.. i have to ask my granddad to buy it for me.. its actually not expensive.. RM300 something. i mean, for Hugo Boss, that's quite reasonable. and its on Sale.
tie and suit i will probably use my own ones. dont wanna spend too much. okay now my goal is to get a nice laptop. im eyeing a Sony Vaio. its about RM7500. yeah its quite expensive but its really good. or i might settle for a RM5000 one. we'll see..
all in all, i hope everything will turn out fine. i dont wanna start my life in sydney with a room-mate whose going to be an idiot.
okay okay. ill look on the bright side. he'll be normal.
