Garlic bread & mashed potato
Well, that's my dinner tonight. Nyum3 kenapa sedap sangattt neh? Hehe
So, i've started! I should add the 1st step is the hardest to initiate besides being the most important in the first post. Now the kitchen is all clean and clear, my laundry is halfway done, still spinning in the washing machine. I've tidied up the living room, get rid all the lil trashes and guess what i found? Henna, all dried up in a bowl. Ni yg buat aku stress ni sigh~ Another thing is banana! I wonder who brought it here. Must be someone during her visit last Thursday. So let's have cucur pisang for breakfast tomorrow! :D Or i'll think of another food if i feel like doing so.Now what's left is vacuum cleaning. This part has never been my cup of tea.
Jangan lah cakap rajin, i already knew i am! Hahahahh.. and i know the previous post may caused my saham turun sikit but hey you my future husband, you know you can always count on me dont you? :D
Have you started?
Gaaaa
There's so much things to do but yet, i'm still procrastinating. Not good, not good, Azura. The magic word here is start! The first step is undeniably the most important step, no? So,
get start now or never. I've a mountain of clothes that is piling up each day, sink full of dirty dishes (eww), groceries need to be stocked up, garbage need to get rid of, a toilet need to be scrubbed and the list goes on and on. How i wished there's a maid ready to serve me hand and foot.
Anyways, i've set up a schedule for me to refer to thru out this holiday. Let's pray i can stick to it :)
Oh yea, wanna know how i spent my free time so far? I've been brushing up my skill in painting faces! Haha i didnt tell you that i bought anew palette of make up when we were in Awal Abbas did i? But the unfortunate thing abt it that the colours are too shimmery for everyday use so let's just keep it at home only for now, shall we? Hehe.. Seriously i enjoyed 'my own time' a lot. Teringin sangat nak belajar how to do the smokey eyes (but of course didnt have the complete tools before) and yes i did it! *clap clap* In fact i'm wearing it now. Haha i hope my skin wont react badly having colours on it for the whole day. I sure hope no one will come over and ring my bell if not how to show my face? ;P
Nak makan apa ya hari ni? Anyone wants to teman me makan anywhere? Teringin nak Caesar Pizza lagi :P I'd been consuming nasi goreng for two days and half now. Sape suruh masak banyak sangat kan so nak tak nak kena la habiskan. To cook again for tonight's dinner is out of question sebab as i stated above, bawang pun yilek.
Malassssss!!
PS:
Fatin Haifaa & Wan Nurul Ain, i miss you a lot!

Home is where the heart is
I'm home!
Aiyark it's only the first full weekend off and i'm already out of idea on things to do. Haha tu la dah biasa one day off je kan. Chillax la, two weekends to go!
Just got back from Cairo this evening to an empty home that as hard i prayed that the electricity would be back by today, turned out it still hadnt. Told Mama so and so, she seemed quite surprised when told that rumah takda letrik since Friday lagi. But then i covered it up by saying that i was about to be out of town and was thinking that it might be just temporary that was why i left the home just like that. Alhamdulillah by 7 something everything was back to normal and surprisingly, i managed to tidy up my room in the dark (and cold)! *clap clap* (mana tak nya, nak bukak laptop nanti takut habis bateri pulak tak boleh nak charge kan) tinggal laundry and tak vacuum je lagi :D must make a to-do list and make sure this crib will be beaming as diamond once the hols is over. Tinggi cita cita tuh!
Well, i made a full use of my weekend. What abt you? On Friday, after beckoning farewell to those ahli rombongan cik Kiah to UK, i was off to Cairo, arrived at 2 pm and went straight to the book fair. Lucky we got off not too early since the gate was opened after Friday prayer. So after buying the entree tickets, had to wait for a while for the gates to be opened. You should see it with your own eyes how crowded the place was! Everyone was pushing each other hard macam kambing tak sabar nak keluar kandang. Seriously breathing required a great effort. Thank goodness it was not summer so the air was still perceivable by the olfactory cells :P To make it worse, they did open only one gate for each gender! It's till unfathomable to me on why they carried out such action considering there were thousands, if not million of people. Sigh~
After got inside, first thing off, toilet. Then grabbed our lunch at the food court. Bangga ni weh first time dapat meja selesa. And why did i think the price was cheaper than previous years'? Hurmm.. And then as usual, carried on with the not-so-book-hunting plan. I think this was the best trip to date even takda tujuan pun sebenarnya but oh well, how could you return home empty handed after going so far kan? Best sebab we know where we wanted to go and what to look for so tak payah buang masa & tenaga pergi hall yg takda kaitan. But the worst encounter was the wind. It blowed so hard and takda simpati langsung. Sejuk gila! Burrrr..
That night, pergi CS :D Tak boleh blah borong sos okay? Terpengaruh dgn diorang la ni. Tapi mmg sedap pun sos itu. Berbaloi baloi! Takda beli sangat pun even sale. Oh lupa, ada dapat 2 bags :D Whatever you guys wanna say tua ke apa ke, that's what we call vintage okay? Kah kah kah. Lepas tu balik pukul 12 nasib baik takda orang tunggu.
The next day, time lunch baru keluar cari makan boleh tak? Haha tidur tak hengat dunia. We were planning to go to Hussein (bazaar) to get our hands henna-ed tapi sebab jauh sangat cari makan (Awal Makram), ended up strolled around that area je lah. Beli apa tak ingat. Ada la sikit sikit knitted blouse kot, pastu apa tah lagi. Ala nape boring sangat cerita kau ni T_____T
Malam tu berjaya jugak makan dekat cafe ARMA. Nasi goreng kampung memang terbaik. After the late dinner, climbed up the stairs to see the bride to be tp dia dengan the mommy to be dah tidur pulak. Mestila kena tidur awal kan? ;)
This morning, woke up at almost 930 am (the other two pun okay!) even dah ramai jadi alarm clock. Haha. Baru tau nak rush iron baju (yours truly, thank you) pergi toilet siap siap sume. Macam chaos jgk la kelam kabut since we were told the ceremony would be held at 10 am sharp! Tapi biasalah.... The tramco (vans) yg bawa the groom and ahli rombongan beserta mas kahwin pulak stranded dalam jam. Everything and everyone was ready at 11 something when the ceremony started. They were sooooo cute & sweet! Ustaz looked sooo suci in that white jubah. Well, at least i thought so. Hehe.. After the solemnization, they prayed together at the back of the musolla. Haha sure cam nervous je sebab semua orang macam fixed their gazes kat diorang je kot! Click click sana sini. When they both were about to shake hands, semua orang mcm rush ke belakang! Terjah! Haha.. Ustaz yg dah hulur tangan pun simpan balik sbb Kiki malu kot? Hiks. Later when i got the proper pics i'll put them up here okay?
So that is all. Looking forward for tomorrow's kenduri pulak. Malas sebenarnya nak pergi sbb tak cukup gang ...
Wow why time flies so fast ni? Dah nak dekat pukul 3 pagi dah. Morning everyone! Since i'm all home alone for this coming two weeks sape sape nak offer jadi maid or at least be my company, you're most welcomed :D Girls please come up with an A4 full of lists of interesting plans boleh tak?? Heheee

Busy bee!
Today was quite hectic but somehow in a way, i enjoyed it! Woken up at 1030 by Ain, quickly washed my face and left to the bank. I even wore my pj's! haha but of course with jeans & sweater. I seriously don't bother to dress up most of the times so people around me just have to bear with it i guess. Do you mind? Hehe. So to the bank we went. Turned out the ATM machine still not functioning (at first, we thought so) but after asking for some help from the bank officer, it actually worked but cannot draw the money more than 1k each time. So one has to insert the card for few trips la jugak to get the desired amounts. Then i walked to Sikah (by myself yo!) and yes, with the not quite presentable bed attire of mine. But do people actually realized? I sure hope not. Went to a money changer there to get my money changed into pound sterling (since they usually offer lower rate than other places) but too bad that they didnt have the currency. Hoh sangat kecewa, had to walked out of the area (and people stared at me! maybe because i was alone?) and found a cab to go to gamaah (it means university in arabic but here, i meant the area in front of the uni). Had my money changed in the Credit Agricole Bank of Eg (the people there sure wondered hard who on earth was this kid (aha!) with a face straight out of the bed with the eww clothes and washed out crocs blergh) then i felt like having a sweet tooth so had to walk a few blocks to La Poire and bought cheese & choc cakes and a fruit / egg tart. The tart was so yummy that i regret for not buying extra of it ;P On my way there, i bumped into a Malaysian guy and he actually smiled at me! Gosh i knew the reason of it rightaway! Hello, if i knew earlier i was going to the gamaah i would have never wore that kind of attire okay? Not in thousand years! Haha righttt.
Was it too obvious? Nahhh~
Then after i got home, had the same boring routine of cuddling up in the comfort zone of mind (the bed) while watching movies and surfing the net. In the evening, Fatin being so rajin baked two trays of macaroni (beef and chicken) and we had some friends coming over to our home. Makan makan until bloated, movies flicking, chit chatting, all the usual stuffs. Few girls left earlier and came back again later for they had a dental appointment, some went to Awadallah and some stayed, pakai inai! So rajin of them! I didnt tho because i was afraid that the henna was gonna be not red enough so the safe way was not to apply it. Come to think abt it, it has been quite some time i havent had my nail painted. Let them stay clean for now hmm. Then i helped K.Zaty frying some cekodok pisang. Then went out with Zu to take my baju at the tailor! Haha seriously kerja last minute! I was soooo terrified because i was supposed to take it at 5 pm but only remembered abt it at 7 something. So worried if the shop has been closed already. Nasib baik dah siap. But he made it wrong! I sent a kurung riau as the examplar. The kain was okay but the baju! Kurung riau mana ada dua pesak! He actually made it like a usual baju kurung, but with extra kembang :( Oh my what should i do? Tomorrow i'm going to Cairo already! Arghh my bad for sending it too late and there's no time to get it altered sobs.
Before climbing upstairs, i took the chance to browse some stuffs they've got in the new shop (that i told you before) downstairs. I sure wouldnt have expected that i would buy not one, but two bags in one swap! Haha i tell you what, they put LE 25 for almost everything. How cheap is that and is there anyone could tell me other places yg ada murah macam tu? But of course la kan, the bags and shoes arent of the most latest fashion or the likes but still, you can still find something you like if you look closely. Hehe.. I salute the lads' effort to try and actually succeed to open up a shop by their own sweat! I mean, the shop owners are so young and maybe of the same age as mine (considering the mature appearance most arabs have). Having a few friends hanging out at your own shop sounds so cool, no?
Okay nak pergi rasa nasi goreng Zu. Tercabar dengar diorang kata sedap sedap sedap sedap. Kacau je orang nak buat assignment (they said so. i can hear them) Haha..
@1.28 am
Just woke up after unconsciously fell asleep while watching You're Beautiful. Zu, did you remember i asked if you slept half thru too? Or was it just me sleep talking? Hurmm..
Then i felt my veins dilated with rage because i've lost a post that is so, long. Yes the one you read above. I was confident that i'd saved it in a draft before! After a few minutes tried to calm down, i realized that the post manager showed only the published posts, not all (the published / unpublished) of them. So after i clicked 'show all', tadaa~ Lucky me!
Okay i'm not quite sure if i can continue my sleep now but i must get my stuffs ready for tomorrow morning i'm leaving for Cairo! Am going together with Zu, Nadiah and Intan. We're going to stay there until Sunday, that's after Kiki's solemnization. We'll go to the
book fair (it's one of the largest in the world yo!) and yeay, CS! I was quite disappointed at first since i've got no company to go and watch Avatar (that is if it is still available la. if not, we'll see) but not anymore! :D
As Fatin and Ain, they are going to UK tomorrow sobs. You guys have a safe journey k? When you're back all i wanna know is alot of souvenirs (for me!) and of course, thousands of AMAZING pictures, not the crappy ones! Hahaha..
The polkadot umbrella ella ella eh eh was an important prop k heh
Two were busy dancing, one was busy recording with her new videocam, one was busy in the toilet ;P
They were so busy tonight, making sure all important things are packed. I'm so jealous. NOT! Have fun Ain Fatin Wani Aimi Nik Kakak2 semua!
Everyone, happy hols! I know i've been saying this almost a million times but there's nothing wrong with it, isnt it?
Take care! See ya when i see ya :D

Snow flakes
Are they for real? Subhanallah, what a beauty! The details are just so, mesmerizing.
There is still a big question mark on my head, why people have to search for something weird or so-called extraordinary in order to strengthen their beliefs in Allah? Just look around and we'll see so many creatures from the small molecules of oxygen that keep us alive to date to the the big cumulonimbus that contains thousands, millions, gazilions or whatever amount is of water drops and electric charge some more but still, cannot rain down accompanied by the terrifying thunderstorm, until He says yes. Do we still have to cross around the globe and look out for a tomato that when cut into two the seeds' alignment will imitate the word Allah in arabic? Or a rock that looks like a person is prostrating resembling sujud in the prayers? Have you ever wondered how the heart works without missing a beat? It takes just a few seconds to look around and reflect a bit.
Thank you Allah for renting out the earth for us to live on for a while and no one can argue and fight back the power of yours to take it back someday.
PS: Please make it snow here in Egypt! *go sleep to dream*
Sebuah perjalanan..
...mencari air.
This is yesterday's story. Lorong rumah kami (tak pernah guna perkataan ni hoho) telah melakarkan sejarah yg pertama dgn adanya sebuah kedai kasut & bag tangan wanita buat julung julung kalinya telah dibuka di bawah, saya ulang, betul betul di bawah rumah kami yg comel molek itu. Epp, luar setinggan dalam kondo tahu? Patutlah bising semacam. Time maghrib wahh alhamdulillah wa syukri lillah pasang asma'ul husna, zikrullah. Menjelang malam sikit dah start dah tu dia macam macam lagu dum dum dam dam.
And one unfortunate event has taken place. Remember what i said about takda air semalam? Uish Kusangkan kemarau sampai ke petang (semalam), rupanya sampai petang (hari ni) pun dia tak sampai sampai lagi. Tapi takpelah kita tahu plumber tu sedang bekerja keras kot, memandangkan kat bawah gate tu macam banjir je. Chaiyok pakcik, aja aja hwaiting!
Dalam pukul berapa ek dalam 10 lebih camtu, bladder budak budak ni dah macam nak meletup dah, mana lah boleh nak tunggu sampai pagi esok kan? So cepat cepat siap terus serbu Pizza Hut eh apsal jauh sangat biasalah nak standard rumah K.Azah (ala dekat je sebelah lorong je pun) ditemani perut keroncong sebab apakan daya tak boleh nak memasak bukan? Bajet rumah sana mungkin ada sisa sisa dinner wahh boleh lah kami menumpang sebutir dua nasi. Okay merepek. K.Ilida baca ni mesti dia kesian lalu hantar setalam nasi ayam melampau weh Ikhlas sebenarnya, nak pergi menumpang kasih tandas saje. Siap bawa towel, berus gigi semua.
Lepas dah lepas semua hajat, siap baring baring bergosipan semua, keroncong datang lagi dengan iramanya yg tak berapa nak sedap. So pergilah kami membawa diri ke Caesar Pizza pula. Semangat tak? Dah tengah malam ni wey dah nak masuk hari baru dah. Tapi sebelum tu dibekalkan amanat K.Azah agar jangan pulang ke rumah! Beliau suruh kami tidur di rumahnya saje. Laptop, lampu, heater tak switch off semua abaikannn.
First time menayang muka di sini. Whoa rasa macam berada di restoran melayu di Malaysia! Masuk masuk je takde orang, mula mula senyap sekali terus dia pasang lagu Aizat apa tah tajuk tak pasti. Lepas tu Awie lepas tu Jamal Abdillah lepas tu Slam lepas tu dah tak ingat banyak sangat. Terlampau oldies, tapi memang syok. Tak tau apsal kalau dengar lagu kat kedai memang tak sama feel dia macam dengar kat barangan sendiri punya kan? Lepas tu Search Ekamatra datanglah berduyun duyun budak melayu lain. Nasib baik aku tak pakai seluar tidur Sesame Street kalau tak memang muka tebal peti ais dalam gambar di atas (semua tengok gambar)
Sape sape tak pernah makan kat sini, shestawook pizza dia memang umph! Coleslaw pun sama! Tatau nak cakap camne tp memang terbaik lah. Apa tah dia letak. Fries pun. Macam yg Milah buat. Solid bak kata Fatin. Lepas makan pastu tidur pastu bangun pukul 10 lepas puas mimpi balik rumah padahal sedang berenang atas katil lagi lepas tu makan nasi goreng yg enak lepas tu mengutilizekan nikmat air yg tiada di rumah sendiri lepas tu baru erti nak pulang ke gagang memang terbaik kan? Fuhh tercungap cungap cakap tadak noktah.
On the other hand, kepalaku rasa macam dah nak tercabut ni sebab banyak benda nak kena buat. Haha padahal kalau listkan sonang sajor! Yes i'm a list freak so what? Bukan kah rasa berterabur & kelam kelabut lepas tu bila dah heebies jeebies langsung satu pun takda harapan diselesaikan. Aishah la ni cakap aku nak pergi Cairo esok padahal lusa (Aida, jadi tak?). Dah rasa macam arghh duit tak keluar lagi, baju nak pegi wedding Kiki tak ambil lagi (last minute gila kan? aku rasa aku orang paling last betul tak?). Pls la pakcik saya nak tahu saya pegi kedai kamu kejap lagi (atau esok pagi) mesti sudah siap okay? Banyak kan nak kena buat? Tengah nervous ni tu sebab masih lagi terbaring sambil layan movie :D
Cakap pasal wedding Kiki, nah ini kad dia. Saya tak dapat lagi so aci lah cilok Zu punya ye ^__^
Semalam dapat invitation dari K.Qila. Sebelum tu Quya. Yang atas ni QiQi (saje nak kasi sync semua supaya nampak comel hehe) Sape nak jemput lagi? Sudah tak sabar nak menimang anak sedara (sebab diri sendiri memang tak ada) Hmm saya syak dalam ramai ramai yg balik Malaysia winter ni pun ada la beberapa kerat sebab 'ada hajat' kot? hehe :D
Okay la nak pergi kejut jiran peninsula sebelah sana (padahal satu rumah. ingat tak saya cerita dulu kawasan jajahan saya adalah toilet dan dapur?) nanti tak pergi tuition pulak diorang.
Happy holiday semua orang! Opss ada tak habis exam lagi. All the best okay baru boleh join kelab holiday kami :)
Chop! Nak bagi pesanan la kat Azim yg minta resipi mushroom soup & garlic bread tadi, jangan lah segan menapak ke sini. Kesian kami yang masih dalam zaman jepun ni. Api air sume tadak (lampu kat living hall sudah lama mati so memang makan dalam gelap, barulah hard core punya zaman jepun bukan?)
Tuesday, February 2, 2010 @ 3:46 PM
Cuti cuti come to me!
Here i comeee!!! *big grin*
Sigh~ Exam sudah tamat sadaqallahul 'azim tapi kepalaku sakittt yg amat! Nangis tak lepas kot? Haha is there such thing? Ohhh banyaknya nak kena pikir T_____T
& kepelikan sudah bermula bilamana i'm clueless, tatau nak buat apa bila balik exam! Okay fine baru ampat jam merdeka dah nak berlagak kekeke. *tp sekarang proses penyedutan sedang berlaku antar 2 hardsik. So jangan risau lepas ni pasti takkan bosan lagi* Then YM menderu deru masuk lalu bilang call Celcom - Celcom (Eg - Mas) freeee wohooo! Perfect timing di kala kebuhsanan so peluang keemasan jangan dilepaskan! Tuah betul beli simcard Celcom balik hari tu, valid sampai 2014 y'all!
Banyak sebenarnya nak kena buat. Assignment blog melambak lambak. Haha betul ada ke masalahnya? Percaya? Pastilah tidak kan. Saje je nak release semua, okay maybe ada lah sikit dari buat jeruk pekasam dok terperuk je.
Boleh bagi idea tak macam mana nak mandi dan sebagainya yg kita selalu buat dalam toilet (termasuk memasak tp itu di luar toilet lah) bila takde air? Silap. Air ada tapi motor / pam macam dah daif gila (read: rosak) so kesimpulan dia sama la air takde kan. Leceh laaa.. bladder dah penuh nak pi letak mana? Pokok bunga takde pulak nak siram. Haha okay kasar ;P
Oh ya, ingat tak nama blog ni apa dulu? Janganlah kata saya hot hot chicken shit. Penat hari hari ambil gambar (walaupun rotten dalam bilikkk je) tapi takde masa nak upload. Paham tak busy? (walaupun ada je masa nak goreng telur makan dgn nasi kalau lapar hehe)
Ayat ayat hari ni macam pelik sikit kan? *stating the obvious* Tuan blog pun tak mengerti akan sebab nya.
Last but not least, harap didoakan semuanya baik baik saje untuk kamu, saya dan kita semua k? Saya dah PENAT! Sape paham bagus sape tak paham minta maaf saya takde solution utk itu. Bye!

I'm having exam this 31st - 2nd Jan. That is super drawing near and i'm so freaking out! That's why blog ni macam terbengkalai (spelling?) sikit. Pls pls pls keep your fingers crossed for me, will you?
On the other hand, Mira has arived here yesterday morning! *woot woot* And guess what's her first complaint? Arab ni mmg buat keje lambat ke? Haha poor Mira, her luggage was (and still i supposed) missing at the airport. Hope you'll retrieve it soon!
To those who are on holidays, enjoy your trips! And as for me, i'm not going anywhere because i'm sorta out of cash. Okay not exactly (like how would that possible since i havent gone shopping, eating out etc) but i'm sure i will if i dont start control it from now. Ahh talking abt being a finance guru now, huh? *bow*
K goodbye!
PS: haha i actually posted this in my old blog when i meant it to be here! okay remind me to change this blog's name once i finished with the exams k?

Well, if you havent realized yet, i've uploaded all the photos of project 365 to FB.
This is the link. I think it's easier and has a 'cleaner' look to it because i tend to write more here, in blogspot. So after this, this blog will go back to function normally as it used to be. One thing i could say now is maybe i'll keep my writings as superficial as possible. Hmm so by now myself being inconsistent is no more a secret ;P Saya bukan seorang yg konsisten. Suka hati la kan? Hehe.. But i still need your support for my project 365. It is quite demanding, sometimes more than i could afford since i'm not the one who leads an interesting life. Now don't bombard me with trillion questions on why i started it in the first place.That's why i take it as a challenge :)

The view from my room's window, at five something. I don't have snowing skies to admire, i don't have greeny grass to lose myself into :)
It's funny tho when an Egyptian girl quickly shut the window upon seeing me taking pictures ;P
* * *
Managed to constrain myself from eating for 24 hrs! Mahu kurus untuk berjumpa Mira :D Too bad i've started getting out the tempoyak from the fridge this evening. You know how this devil could really make you consume more grubs than needed, unconsciously? Yes it could, to me at least T___T
