My second mood swing of the year.

No, it isn't PMS.

I am perhaps one of the few female species who do not have frequent mood swings during menses.

When am I moody then???

Common sense bebeyh! When people waste my time or jeopardise my future, or something like that...

Ok, ok.. my second mood swing this year happened last Friday, in UM.

The plan was simple:

1. settle the payment issues in CIMB.

2. go to IPS to officiate my registration for the semester, and get that minuscule sticker on my matric card.

What happened??? Here it goes:

1- Woke up and felt eager to settle everything this semester, once and for all.

2- But i forgot how the registration process was like. So i called Leen and asked her to remind me of what i should do. There's a bit of change. Since UM suddenly opts for a 'technological' and 'paper-less' system this year, the payment SHOULD be done first in CIMB, macam masuk duit cm biasa la through deposit form, unlike last semester. Takde dah Slip Wang Tunai Masuk (WTM) like two previous semesters. I feel that WTM was a better system, though...

3- But I, I applied for the Budget Mini thingy this year from government, since I don't have a full-time job. I was not sure how this should be done. Fariha did it, but she's a new student. Knowing that the process is usually different between new and existing students, i went to CIMB first, coz I'd go through CIMB first rather than IPS. For the record, no instruction whatsoever was given in the IPS website, or emailed to students on how you can settle registration if you got the Budget Mini. So i did what i do best in UM all this time: ASK around!

4- [12 pm]- In CIMB- i asked: "puan, saya nk bayar yuran, tapi saya guna Budget Mini ni, macamana yer nk buat?"

the bank lady: "Budget Mini tak Budget Mini, awak kena beratur gak mcm orang lain, ambik no ni, lepas tu isi borang deposit duit ni"

me: Ouhhh *confused look*.. okkkkk .... [tapi dok pk, peliknya, aku xmasukkan duit pn kena isi borang deposit duit??? tapi igt... alah, that day was the 10th day of registration, mesti orang bank tu tahu what she's talking about. I'd surely not be the first person using Budget Mini]

me: tunggu lah kat bank tu.. 20 orang lagi, barulah my turn. There wasnt even a vacant seat. Bank sangat2 peuh. So i stood and waited for 5 mins then i thought "ish,, lambat lagi nihh, ramai nk mmpus.. lembab lak tu, p Pekan Buku la beli majalah.."

So i went to Pekan Buku, bought Reader's Digest, went back to the Bank..just to know that baru 5 orang lepas ...cheh.. tapi xpela.. i had something to read. After reading about half of the mag, it was my turn.

me: "cik, nk bayar yuran, guna Budget Mini.."

the officer: "haa? by cash??"

me: "eh takla, Budget Mini cik, kerajaan transfer kan..."

officer: "eh ni awak kena pegi pejabat bendahari kat level 1. sini untuk pembayaran tunai bolehla.."

me: *confused* ohh ok...

5- So i was like..speechless.. ya Allah 45 min aku terbuang cmtu je? takperlah, ada hikmah kot... walaupun rasa nk terjun longkang pn ada, coz it was already 1245 by then, and surely Pejabat Bendahari dh tutup, Jumaat kan..

i went to my car at the carpark, sat in there for about 10 mins, thinking where i should waste my time for 2 damn hours.

My only sanctuary in UM would be faculty Bahasa. So i went there, and took the slowest lunch I've ever had in my life. Alang2 p Zuhur skalik, and about 230 i went back to CIMB.

6- Pejabat Bendahari still xbukak. 2.45 baru bukak. i was there at about 235pm, but there were already 20 ppl in there waiting, smua dah amik nombor giliran.. Gilaaa!!! Tapi amik jela nombor, ada option for Masters student.. betul lah kot i thought..

7- 245pm, it opened.. and i immediately asked one officer whether I was at the right place to settle the Budget Mini thing for existing students. She said YES!

So takperlah,,duduk je la tunggu kan.. at About 3 pm, tetiba one officer lain jerit, "All Masters students, you should not be here. Go to IPS directly!!"

And i was like "what???" I asked again that guy for clarification. Dia kata, "soal pembayaran Masters smua di IPS".. Seriously i almost felt like mencarut je kat muka officers tu.. Nasib baik tak reti..huhuhu.. Pejadahnya kan? Kalo dah budget mini tu sah2 la Masters.. dari awl kat bank tadi pn i was being clear that i was a Masters student! Gilaaaa!!! Pompuan kat bank tadi kan just leh ckp simple je " Adik, Budget Mini, buat kat IPS.. xperlu datang bank/pejabat bendahari pn.. abih crita!! and..things cud have been settled by 1pm. kalo tak sure, jangan la buat2 pandaiii.. buang masa org ok?

8- in angry mode, i went to IPS pulak.. parking pon dh cam samseng kat tpt pegawai apa tah..xheran dhhh.. mmpuih pi lah... masa2 registration nih lah gatai nk reconstruction kan tmpt parking tu.. haritu kan cuti 2 bulan...!!!

it was 315pm. tanya lagi : "cik, betul ke sy kena kat sini kalo nk settle registration guna budget mini.. tak perlu ke resit pmbayaran ke apa2 ke dr CIMB mcm org2 normal lain??"

the lady : "ha ah betul.. just ambik no giliran.."

phew..ok... i was so afraid if they asked me to go to CIMB again for whatever God forsaken issues. ok, amik no... ada la dlm 30+ people ahead of my turn.. arggghhh!!!

Nasib baik sya, yana, and vanaja were there, so at least i had people to talk to and vent my anger at..hahahah.. they were stroking my back saying "sabar azrin sabar..."

Called my mom also while waiting..saying that if something was wrong againn, aku nk cekik orang tu.. Maybe my voice was a tad louder than it should be.. pakcik sebelah berkopiah dah cm pandang2 aku like i was one tiny carnivourous monster waiting to strangle any beings within 1 metre radius. Sian lak pk balik tgk muka dia..cm ketakutan pn ada.. hahahaha..

About 415, it was my turn.

me:" Cik, saya nk settle registration guna Budget Mini..boleh yer?"

the lady: "boleh2... sila bayar rm 27 yer.. "

me: haaa? *tetiba trigt fariha ada sbut psal that amount. ohhhh noooooooooooooo!!! *

the lady: "credit card ada?"

me: "mana ada cik..." nsib baik igt kisah fariha.. so i said "cimb clicks leh kan kak?"

the lady : "boleh2.. awak pegi buat dulu kat computer sana, baru datang sini balik, xyah beratur balik.. "

me: okkkkkk.. dlm hati mndidih pn ada... nasib baik dia ckp baik2, kalo x sah aku cekik dia..tapi geram gak.. yg aku tnggu sejam cm orang bodoh tu..xleh ke sapa2 inform yg kalo wat budget mini, leh use up that time pegi transfer duit guna cimb clicks ke apa ke..xbuang ms aku...

ini..dh smpai turn, pn.. kna lagi buat mnda alah bodoh tu.. n i still dun understand what that rm 27 is for..apa2lahh..nyampah aku..

then..about 425...settled! arrrrrrr.... cm magic pn ada mnda bodoh ni leh settle.. eiii keji2...

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

my advice to UM registration officers... or apa2 yg bkaitan dgn management:

1- tolg bagi CLEAR instruction through emails ke surat ke.. ni info tak clear, tak ckup.. eiii..gigit gak kang..

2- officers yg dibayar gaji kat UM tu..sila lah know ur facts yer.. jangan buat2 pandai, and buat orang rasa bodoh... supaya x buang masa org... ko nk curi duit dr aku pn aku leh wat2 pasrah lagi.. but u stole my TIME, and for that i can't forgive... yet..

Memang Malaysia takkan maju kalo perangai macamni, semua mnda tak organised. Although i was in a foreign land before, and it was not even the no. 1 uni in the world or NZ for that matter, EVERYTHING was CRYSTAL CLEAR.

And officers kat Malaysia ni bukannya xpenah pegi overseas pn.. cuba lah amik pngajaran from whatever you see overseas.. and not just bring back chocs and souveniers as things to be remembered of.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

and to the man.. im soooo sorrryyyyy....

1- coz u didnt even want to come to KL in the first place. but because of my cold sms reply, u thought i was merajuk kot so u changed ur mind in 1 minute (yes i check the timing of the txt msg..hahaha). sorrrryyy. that was not my intention. it was just a wrong timing to inform me of something like that. n it wasn't even your fault.. sorrryy... huhuhu.

2- and sorry kena tgk aku dlm keadaan yg sangat marah.. sangat x puas hati, even after everything was settled. dh la cm trpksa dtg, tgk2 kna layan a moody girl plak.. haishh..

3- Thanks for cooling me down..i didnt know how exactly u did it.. but it went down from 100% to 10% to 0% anger in less than 4 hours. Hebat giler! hahaha

4- Thanks lah for a wonderful weekend although u were extremely busy. Rasa bersalah gile.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

and for others who are thinking of going to UM.. dun base ur decisions on my story please. When it comes to registration, from what i heard, no matter which unis in Malaysia you go to, you are bound to meet such stupid management people who are happy to make your lives even more complicated than they already are.

When it comes to studies, i can say bolehlaaaaahhhh... quality ada, but still below my expectations. sorry...

tapi sila lah masuk UM kalo bminat blajar. Well, at least i have fun in the Language faculty.

So cheryl, for example, dun be too quick to make judgments.

We must lower our expectations in many aspects. Which is a shame coz we have super bright local students!

Kalo nak sama quality cm our previous unis.. mmg lupakan je lah..

We must get real..

This is Malaysia!!! hahahaha


Ok, enuff of venting...

Finally...

Finally....

My room looks like a room..!!!. hahahahaha!!

I didn't tidy up my room, as I usually would, for the past 2 weeks because i thought i need to switch rooms with my housemates.

Turns out that that's not happening, so finally last Sunday, I started to tidy up things, re-arrange stuff here and there, and finally it looks like a real room!

But everything was finally set up yesterday when i bought a table fan, to be put beside my bed.

The reason? The room is very2 hot!!! the ceiling fan is insufficient, so I've been sleeping on the carpet, right below the fan, for the past 2 weeks!!!

Last night, with the fan, I perhaps had had my best sleep ever!!! coz I finally got to sleep on ma bed!!! weeeeeee!!!

Pictures?? later lahhh ok?

But hint2, it doesn't look much different from my previous room in Bangsar!! hahaha..yerlahh, guna 'bahan' yang sama lah katakan...hahahaha

So far I'm happy here in my new home in PJ... Glad that I chose to move out from Bangsar. Bahagia di hati, dan bahagia di dompet...hahahaha..

What else ehh?

The new semester in UM has officially begun, starting yesterday. But I didnt have any classess to 'shop' for yesterday. So my semester officially starts today.

Observed two electives... Bolehlahhh..

But, still need to do more 'shopping'... so I'll decide my one last elective by the end of this week.

I've also got a GREEN light to start on my research project...

tapi dh dpt green light pn, xtau lagi nk start cmna... malas ada, blur pun ada...

I think the academic mood is just not there yet.. Cepattlahhh datang weeyyy..!!! Tak grad aku kang...!

Just want to share one more thing that i learnt yesterday...

I realised yesterday that luck has really been on ma side these days... Dapat the result that I dreamt of, dapat supervisor yg nak (altho office dh allocate orang lain in the beginning), dapat umah yg alhamdulillah ok, and many2 more rezeki yg Allah bagi...

Alhamdulillah2...

So i really2 believe yang kalo hati kita tak busuk, ikhlas dengan orang2 sekeliling kita, tak niat jahat, tak dengki2 kat orang, try tolg orang stakat terdaya without any hidden agenda, memang tuhan akan limpahkan lagi banyak rezeki kat kita.

So i was truly smiling to myself yesterday, as I walked out from my lecturer's room to my car...

Cuma, have to keep reminding myself not to become lupa diri of some sort. bila2 pun tuhan leh tarik balik kan??

Hope that this semester will run smoothly, in all aspects...

Ciao

Argh!!! comey nk mati!!!

Went to Pet's World Exhibition today at Midvalley Megamall. Oh dear Goddddd!!! the kittens there were mega CUTE!!!

I jatoh chenta with three kittens.

1. Grey + white fluffy kitten yang sangat2 the manja..

2. light beige cotton-ball fluffy kitten yang muka cam nak nangis ja... rasa nk tampaq2 ja..hahaha...comey sgt...

3. an SPCA cat.. looking very ordinary BUT VERY2 active, friendly, and talkative, as claimed by the signage there. hahaha.

Waaaa...i want them all!!!! if only i have my own house, with spacious compound for them to play around... haishhh...

Oh anyways, I didn't have any wet dreams about the IKEA table i saw last night... *sigh*

Maybe because I was not meant to have it...hahahaha...

I found a much bigger table in Carrefour today of about the same price, so I immediately bought it.. It will be sent to my home tomorrow. Weeee!!! will have a table yeah!!!

Ok, I should stop all this crap.

ciao

Of awesome lunch and Karaoke-ing..

Finally today I had got the chance to materialise my post-engagement hangout plan with Leen.

And I'm happy about it!

She bought me lunch, at ... oh dear I forgot the name of the restaurant... Bubble Shrimp or something like that, at The Curve. hahahah.. Sorry leen lupaa! It was my first time there, and I loved the meal I'd chosen. Will definitely go again if I have extra bucks and would recommend to anybody who loves to splurge on food.

Then we went karaoke-ing. I didn't realise that it had been 7 months since I last had a karaoke session with anyone. Boy, i'm getting old!!!

takleh2.. after this, I must make this a regular outing again!

We sang til I felt like I couldn't really breathe normally anymore. And ultimately I sound like a darai now...hahahaha.

But I'm still craving for more melalak sessionsss!!! hahahah..

Then we went to Ikea for a short stroll.., and my eyes were glued to this one table... And it's pretty cheap.. haissshh.... now i'm gonna have wet dreams about it... susah2...

Ok, to be practical, perhaps I should pay Jusco, Carrefour, and Tesco a visit to check if they have better deals. If not, I'll surely get THAT table. I can't stand anymore looking at my wrecked room..huhu..

k, must-sleep-now.

taaa

30/06/09

It was a normal-abnormal day for me, i think...

10 am- went to IPS UM to complain about the error on my official result. Whenever i tell people this, smua cakap "ehhh IPTA cam UM pun leh wat salah cmni ek.. igtkan IPTS je.."
and i could just reply with: "u-think-UM-ni-bagus-sangat-ke?" look. huhu...

nk cari parking mmg cm org gilee... i think it's because of the registration week. and i was being a total samseng by parking double blakang keta org je.. there are signs of "carpark for new postgraduate registration' all over campus, but i chose to ignore them. Tak kuasa lah aku nk park like 2 miles away, when i wasn't even there to register!! i was there to complain!!

as usual pmpuan2 yg jaga IPS kaunter muka cm haram jerk. Then, i handed the wrongly printed results to them, and tgk muka depa berkerut2 tgk...

Dari rasa nk marah.. nk gelak pn ada.. i could hear sayup2 from afar... "ehhh.. 5 subjects.. ruang ni ckup utk 4 je..tu psl xkuar kot..." sabaq je la...

They took quite some time to figure out how to ensure all 5 subjects could be printed out on that tiny piece of paper.

Finally, DONE!!! Weeee!

11+ am- Then i didnt know what to do.. then i thought: "Pegi jelah fac.. kot2 ada apa2 info baru ke.."

Elok je turun keta... i was 'greeted' by a group of international students : "Heyyy you.... waitttt!!!".. And i was silently thinking: "Haaa? mende lak ni.. aku wat slh apa2 ke.. nk tanya apa2 soklan ke apa ni..."

then a guy from the group said " Heyy.. are u Malaysian? We are Koreans. We want to make friends! "

I was amazed by their friendliness. We talked for about 10 mins, and then i excused myself to the office..

As usual, i went to the office, and be the "annoying girl who asks too many questions". Nasib baik org layan.. hahaha. I took the new copy of schedule and to my surprise the letter of appointment of supervisor was ready!! weeeee... can officially start my research now...!!! I texted Dr J if she was around, but she's out of KL. so i guess next week i'll discuss with her anything regarding the RP. I can get other things done first.

Right after that, with a big smile, i went up to the parking space and felt like grabbing a small meal or sth at the cafe there. i had an appointment to sign contract n such at Taylor's from 2.30 til 5 pm. Was afraid that i was gonna be hungry or sth later.

tengok2 the Korean group was there. Not surprising since i was the one who suggested that place for lunch. Haha.. The moment i arrived at the cafe, they noticed me, and greeted me with the friendliest smiles and hye-s I had ever seen. Their table was full, so i just sat at a separate table, expecting as usual that i'd have my lunch alone.

Tgk2 lps tu, sorang dtg: "Can we join you???" And i was like "Suree..." Haaaa ngko, trus pastu 2 org datang kat aku hangkut skali pnggan2 nasik diorg yg diorg dah mkn sparuh jalan tu... hahaha... smua mamak2 kat situ heran tgk aku, cm xpaham kot awat aku glemer sgt dikalangan group2 Korea tu..huhu... Aku pun xpaham masalahnya...hahaha...

Then we all talked for about one hour... mak aii, lama gak ehh.. hahahaha.. And we ended our conversations by exchanging email addresses and phone numbers.

I still couldn't believe i made friends with a group of nice Koreans in a matter of seconds! lps ni lehla p Korea..dh ada kawan...! hahahaha..

2pm- Pastu p Taylor's... signed d contract, did the medical checkup (as usual tgelak2 bila doktor tekan perut...hishhh, now aku dh tau my weak point..), and talked to the head of Language Centre about the job offered. She told me that i'll start teaching end of July, not next week as written in the contract. Phew... legaaa..bagus gak..xready lagi nih..hahahah..

Then balik.. beli jambu Muar and air jambu kat bwh umah ni..hahahah..best2... and lepak je kat umah smpai skang ni...

That was my day...

Snippets

1. Spent the past 1-2 days with my Man. *happy face*

Pity him had to travel back n forth, Muar-KL-Muar-KL-Muar within 24 hours just because of me...

Why we went to Muar? check out my wedding blog lah.. hahaha..


2. Got the part-time teaching job in Taylor's Uni College. Takut and malas sebenarnya nk kja... I left the working world, the academia, for more than a year already. I'm not sure if I'm really ready to embark on that route again. But, reality hit me: "Kalo dh xde duit, Buat la cm xde duit, xkan nk goyang kaki je.. gatai nk kawen lak tu..."

That's the rationale of why I applied for the part-time job. Please pray that I can cope with it ya, along with the more important Master's studies, the research project, my classic ambitious attempt to finish up my study this December, AND my dream wedding.

Gila tak? hahaha. [mmg rhetorical question. lagi mau tanya...]

If all of these are materialised as planned, Oh dear I'll surely be jumping with joy and be able to step into the new chapter of my life in 2010 with less worries. I anticipate a lot of changes in 2010: physically, emotionally, spiritually, socially, and mentally. Phew...

3. Hurm... the new term in UM is going to start real soon: the same date as Taylor's. gilaaaa!!! i'm still deciding what subject to take. I can't believe deciding that ONE last subject is even harder! So as usual, I'll go 'window shopping' for the first 2 weeks, and then only i'll decide. There are a lot of things to be taken into consideration: the lecturer, the workload, the timing, the relevance, the assignments, the possibility of getting an 'A' (hahaha, strategy2..), etc. *sigh*

4. Quite a lot of things are on ma mind:

a. need to go to IPS UM to complain about the error of my official result last semester. keji kan?

b. need to go to Taylor's to sign contract and be briefed about the job offered.

c. need to meet up with my supervisor to discuss my upcoming research project.

d. need to start on the research project preparations: finding participants, setting up a new blog, devising questionnaires,

e. need to go to Jalan Tar to get ordered n paid fabric.

f. wanna go out with Leen for a post-engagement hangout

g. wanna hangout with ex-Semerbakians.

h. NEED to practise singing for J's wedding!! hahaha.. lagu apa kna nyanyi pn tatau lagi..

i. wedding preparations.


waaaaaaaa....!! and i have less than one week of holiday! mati2...

*kiok*

Palettes of Love & Hues of Sheer Promise

Hye all,

Just want to inform that I've just created a new blog: My Wedding Blog.

The URL is: http://bridazzy.blogspot.com

Feel free to browse through and comment if u wish.

This blog is still active. It's just that the new one is specifically created for my wedding stuff, so that this blog wouldn't be too cluttered.

It's also a relief for those who have allergies to any wedding talks. hahaha.

Anyway, it's just been created. So, do expect some changes here and there in the layout from time to time.

Cheers!

A promise Made & A promise Kept

While a few could perhaps already see it coming, I know many of you were shocked with the news of me getting engaged recently.

I felt it was pretty weird to advertise "I'm getting engaged to my ex-bf!!* all of the sudden.

I didn't know what to say.

For those who know me better, you guys know that I'm never good at expressing my feelings when it comes to the subject of my love-life. I'd rather keep personal things to myself, and pour out my heart only if i need to.

And, considering how 'complicated' it was, I think I shouldn't even attempt to.

I mean it's not everyday you hear people planning to get married to their ex-ess right?

But i did try. But I have to accept that people have different views on what's acceptable in a relationship, who's Mr. Right, and what constitutes love.

So i reckon the easiest way to announce my BIG step towards the life I desire is through PICTURES!!! Which I did on facebook.

So, here i would like to apologise for not being able to tell everyone much much earlier.

It was a VERY VERY small and simple ceremony, just for the sake of sarung cincin and getting to know each other's families. Even most of my relatives didn't know about it!

Nonetheless, rest assured that all of you are invited to our wedding.. tentatively in December (insya Allah). will update more later.

Car pool, organise a road-trip, book ur airplane tickets now, or do whatever you can to come to Kedah ya!!!

You need not worry about buying gifts, giving money or whatnot coz all i care is YOUR PRESENCE on my special day. That will be my BIGGEST wedding present!

For now, I'm just going to focus on my ambitious attempt to finish up my Masters study by November, and in d meantime make gradual preparations for the big day.

Having a small family means only my mom and I are left to manage everything from A-Z for that day.

I am both scared and excited about all this madness.

As a matter of fact, I'm still in the 'OMG!- I'm-engaged-and-getting-married-in-6-months!' mode.

Please pray for our jodoh ya...

Thanks to those who had (unknowingly) helped me make decisions. You know who you are.

and for The Man, Thankkss a Zillion for being with me through my ups and down, for accepting my weaknesses, for being a VERY good listener, for staying true to urself no matter how vicious the world is, for being unbelievably loyal, and for choosing the weird me out of many fab ladies out there.


For all these, and many2 more, I thank you.






Thank You for making a promise and keeping it.


Ta...

The PainFul 6 Months

I could write a novel on this. Seriously.

I kept this from many of you fellow bloggers for about 6 months of 'suffering'...

And now, it's finally time to unearth my deepest feelings about it here.

I think i'd mentioned somewhere in this blog that last semester was hard for me for a number of reasons. and one of them being the granny, who WAS my landlord from Dec '08 - May '09.

I don't know where to start, but once I start, I'm pretty sure I can't stop!

hahaha.. so you readers just pray that this post won't be too long ya!

As most of you have already known, I rented a single room in a terrace house in Bangsar starting Dec last year. At first, the landlord seemed ok, understanding, and practical, thus leading me to assume that staying in the house would be easy breezy.. *TooooooT* WRONG!!!!!!

She's nice, dun get me wrong. But she's the FUSSIEST person I have ever met in my life! I''m paranoid at times too, I know. But, if you are paranoid ALL THE TIME, that's a totally different story!

In short, I lived in FEAR for the past 6 months!!! hahahaha.. isk isk..

I dunno how exactly to explain the kinda person she is. But I guess the following anecdotes may give you a rough idea of the craziness I had gone thru for half a year:

• *Me coming back home, going into my room, and closing the door gently*
  

Aunty: "Why did you bang the door???? Don't bang the door, I'm so frightened!!!"

Me: *puzzled look*

• *Me in my room, doing my assignments, and hearing nothing except the birds chirping*

Aunty : "Linda!!! don't you bang the door!!! i don't like you to bang the door...blablablabalabla (for about 20 minutes)

Linda : *puzzled look*

Me : *puzzled look*

Linda: " I didn't bang the door!"

Aunty: "Everyday you bang the door!!! you bitch!!!" *more swearing*'

*3rd World War between aunty and Linda and me sitting nervously in my room not knowing what to do.. nak kuar pun takut*

-->Linda is my super-nice Filipino housemate.

• *Me in my room doing my work, and the super LOUD phone had been ringing for about 20 times. The cordless phone was right beside the auntie while she's watching her favourite Tamil drama*

Aunty: *still enjoying the Tamil drama*

Me and Linda: *annoyed*

• *Me in my room doing my work, and the super LOUD phone had been ringing for about 20 times. The cordless phone was right beside the auntie while she's watching her favourite Tamil drama*

Aunty: *doing nothing*

Me: *annoyed* "Auntyyyyy, phoneeeee!!"

Aunty: "ooohhh, phone arrr??? "

--> suara aku dgr pulak... that's why I assumed she has selective hearing problems. maybe she chooses what she wants to hear or maybe she's just good at hallucinating.

• *me cooking in the kitchen, and I accidentally dropped my Tupperware container*

Aunty: *with her wobbly feet came right from the living room to the kitchen to scold me* "" What are you doing??? Don't break my things!!! I don't like people touching my things!!!! blabalabalabala *for 20 minutes)

Me: *puzzled* "Nooo... i accidentally dropped it.. sorry.. but it's not your thing..

Aunty: *another few minutes of nagging.. * "Make sure you clean the stove, make sure the sink is dry, wipe your plates nicely, dun make a mess, put the things back in the cabinet, close the gas, wipe the wall, and dun wash my dishes.. i don't like people touching my things.. "

Me: "yeah yeah...i know, ive been doing that all the time. Don't you worry." *irritated*

• *aunty walking to close the door, and she's limping*

Me: "aunty, are u ok?" *in a very caring tone*

Aunty: "Why la you asking me ok or not... ???!!! leave me alone!!! " *yelling in a high-pitched tone*

Me: *gasp*

Aunty: "I have so many problems..you don;t know..."

Me: "You think only you ar have problems?" *walked to my room irritated*

*since then terus malas nk tanya how shes doing anymore.. Phobia!!!

• * Me feeling like an Angel and called the aunty to ask her if she wanted anything for dinner, since I'm in town buying my dinner too*

Aunty: " Buy for me one tosei, with this gravy that gravy.... and one serving of fish curry, and sambal please..."

Me: 'Ok, no problem.."

*back home after the dinner*

Aunty: "how much arr??"

Me: RM.....

Aunty: aiyyooooooooo... y la so expensive!!!! the tosei is uncooked you know!!!

Me : *puzzled, thinking how on earth the paper-thin tosei could possibly be uncooked*

• *Me being clever , change the temperature of the fridge, making it colder so that my frozen food will last longer. my frozen food had been spoilt several times because the fridge was not cold enough. Little i realised that a thick layer of ice developed because of that*

--> right after i went out of the bathroom in berkemban mode.

Aunty: "Rin, what did you do to my fridge??? since u came, blablablabla.... *non-stop accusations*

Me : Ha?? Nothing! *being defensive, i neva thot changing the frige temperature was a crime*

Aunty : Noooo NO..... You did this..blablabla.... *more yelling and accusing*

Me: No... i didn't know it'll be like that... blabla.. *trying to reason out*

Aunty: Noooo... you ruined my fridge. do you know it's expensive to buy a new one!!??

Me: *helpless, thinking of what better to say*......hrmmm.. nothing. So i pretended to cry gila2 punya lah.. *drama queen mode*

Aunty : aiyooooo, dun cryyyy... please dun tell your mom... ok ok... i won't scold you anymore...

*phew, i didnt know that crying had THAT power!!!*

--> but still, dah ilang nafsu nak memasak.. baik beli je kalo xleh smpan apa2 brg mntah pn dlm fridge tu..

• *Me bathing happily, and she's right in the bathroom next door. i accidentally dropped my toothpaste on the floor*

Aunty: Heyyy, what happened there? Don't break anything!!!

Me: No no... my toothpaste jatuh aunty... *irritated and kumur kuat2 buang kahak*

Aunty: Heyyy, don;t break my things laaa!!!

Me: "Wat d hell????"

• Aunty: "Rin, dun switch on the tv too loud yaa!!"

Me: *confused* bila masa lak aku bukak tv... aku baru balik ni.. "haa... ok ok aunty"

*One minute later, she switched on her Tamil drama to an unimaginable decibel. Couldn't even pray dgn kusyuk.. nk study pn xleh... sigh*

• Aunty: "Rin, park the car near the gate ya.. or else the neighbour will bump into ur car"

Me: "ok ok"

*2 days later*

Aunty: "Rinnnn!!!! Y la u park the car so near the gate??? Cannot even go out and in!!"

Me: *confused and angry* "What the heck?? u told me to park near the gate??"

Aunty: "No no... Cannot2... Cannot even open the gate you know..."

Me: *intensely irritated and tired after 9 hours of working. Went to the gate and opened it right before her eyes, and demonstrated how easily i could get in and out.*

Aunty: "oh...ok ok"

Me: Urgggghhh!!!

• Me: "Aunty, can i park inside the gate, since no one else has a car anyway? i'm afraid la, not safe la to park outside"

Aunty: "Cannot2... air cannot come in laaaa"

Me: *puzzled look* thinking to myself, heck, the parking lot is totally not obstructing the main door or even the windows*

Aunty: My nephew lived here for 17 years also parked outside.

Me: oh.. ok then... *irritated and pasrah*

• "Me coming back home with a brand new rice cooker and kettle*

Aunty: "What did you buy???

Me: "Rice cooker and kettle..."

Aunty: "Aiyoooo, you use so many electrical stuff...!!! my electric bill gone up you know!!!

Me: *what- d- hell look?* * walked to my room irritated without saying anything.*

• *Me, in a totally unfabulous condition, havent even brushed my teeth that morning*

Aunty: "Rin, can you move your car to the side, my relative is coming, and she wants to park in front of d house"

Me: "Huh?? She can park by the side what? It's still near, just a few extra steps away..."

Aunty: "You move your car la.."

Me: *totally irritated* "No I wont, I live here!!! " *being totally a bitch and closed the door*

• *Me bringing the Aunty to University Hospital, coz she said she wanted to take her medicine but had no one else to help her. I agreed, no problem. But it was difficult to park there, there's no way i could just wait for her in the car in front of the main door. And she had NO CELLPHONE!! aku tawakkal je pegi park dlm the parking area a bit further away, kluar, and pegi cari aunty tu dlm hospital, though i had no idea where she was. tgk2 jumpa.. alhamdulillah! then i brought her back to the car. Since the security guards didnt allow ppl at all to park at the entrance, i had to walk her back to the car, which is pretty far for an aunty with wobbly feet. She said she wanted to take a cab. But i was there!! takkan la aku keji sgt nk biar dia balik dgn taxi... so i begged her to walk slowly just to get to my car..halfway, she scolded me..*
  

Aunty: "Why la so far??? i want to take a taxi now..!!! You laa, troubling me like this...!!!

Me: Be patient aunty...not so far away.. we walk slowly...

Aunty: Bring me to the taxi stand.. !!! i hate this!!!

Me: *helpless, felt like crying for troubling an old lady* "Please aunty please.. to walk back to the taxi stand is just as far as going to my car now..at least you don't have to pay.. and i can walk you right into the house..."

Aunty: "Aiyyoooo you la... troubling meeeee..."

*finally managed to pujuk her to walk to the car.. But sedih, niat baik aku jadi cm mnyusahkan org tua lak..serius rs nk nangis..*

• *aunty looking out at the window*

Aunty: "Rin, be careful ar... Malay motorcyclists Indian motorcyslists, they'll snatch ur bags.. rob u.. rape you... "

Me: "yeah, i know.. dun worry.. i take a good care of myself.."

Aunty: Lock the house doors ya... they all bad people you know... and you neva park in a basement ya... dangerous.. u can get killed.... neva bring ur real IC..only bring a photocopied one...

Me: "Er...ok ok..dun worry..."


These are just perhaps 20% of what i had to deal everyday in the house.

I was living in total fear and afraid to even come out of my room. It's like I was living the life of a recluse!!

I'd had it of living with a person who's too paranoid, always angry, and constantly finding my fault.. like seriously, cam x de kerja lain, purposely and went to great lengths to find my faults.. gila ahhh...

and I tak sampai hati nak bertekak byk2. she's and old lady, old enuff to be my granny.. and she has very2 weak knees. Tu pasal selalu try sabar je.. kalo sama umur, dh lama dh aku bgaduh gila2 punya... Itu pun after a while, I was slowly becoming a bitch too, sebab menjawab jugak kan bila xtahan..huhu.

But I still acknowledge her occasional generosity, especially in terms of food! she sometimes fed me with whatever leftovers she had in the fridge that were given by her relatives. May they be leftovers, but they taste real good! hahaha.. beggars can't be choosers. Especially when I was starving to death, running out of money, and running out of time to go out and buy food myself.

There were also some unforgettable funny moments i had with her (only i think it's funny). one classic example is as follows:

• Aunty: "Rin, can you help me put lights on my Christmas tree later?"

Me: "err.. ive never done that, but i can try.."

*Next 3 days*

Aunty: "Tonight u help me put the lights ya..."

Me: "OK..." *dlm hati: mana pokok krismas makcik ni ni.. xnmpak2 pn..mana dia smbunyi*

Me: "show me first la the tree.."

Aunty: " ok ok " went to her room and came out with something in her hand.*

Me: *GASP* the X'MAS TREE was in her hands!!! masya Allah, sejengkal je ke size pokok xmas tu??? waaaaaaaa... *nk gelak nk gelak, tapi tahan gila2 punyer*... kalo bsar tu lah xmas tree, ptut la xnmpk, boh dlm handbag pn leh...hahahahaaha... cmna nk lilit lampu raya keliling pokok bsaq tu???

Me: *control2* "Okkkk, tonight i help u ya.."

tengok2 sdara dia dtg.. so i didnt have to do it..Thank God..if not, msti aku pecah perut tahan gelak... huhuh.. the smallest decorative x'mas tree ive ever seen in my lifeee!!! xkan ku lupa xmas tree sejengkal tu...huhuhu..


anyay, it's just that i cant stand constant illogical dramas in the house, being scolded for nothing, and dealing with a person who's too fussy and toooo paranoid. I'll surely be crazy and super paranoid myself too after a while. I know this coz i realised that i was slowly becoming a bit hot-tempered too after a few months.

Apa tidaknya.. my friends who had just stayed one night there, or just visited me for a few hours would ask me the same question: "Azrin, cmna ko leh duduk ngn makcik ni ek?"

And i would answer: "Aku penyabar orangnya..." But my patience has its limits... and its limit is 6 months.

I value my sanity, I appreciate my high-tolerance level, I love my high level of patience, and I am not ready to jeopardise my sensible nature.

and for that, I had let go of my beloved room there, and have opted for a cheaper room in PJ for my stay next semester.

though it's just a flat, not as strategically located, and a bit further from UM, i dun care! as long as there's no landlord in the house and as a bonus, i will have my ex-primary schoolmate as my housemate... weeeeeeeee!!!! hope this time, i have not made another BIG mistake again.. haishhh..

But i moved out on a positive note..i said i wanted to get married soon (which is not entirely a lie lah kan..). i didnt say that i moved out because i couldnt stand her anymore.. she begged me not to move out, but i had to say no, for the sake of my sanity. Masa tu la baru dia nk ckp she couldnt find a girl like me anymore..blablabla.. Haaa, masa aku ada, marah2 aku... time aku nk kuar, puji2 plak.. haiii....

so im looking fwd to my brand new room next semester, praying hard i will b happy living there.

ciao.

P/s- ur prayers for a short entry are clearly not answered! huhu

Can I be any more unfabulous than this???

I have zits on both sides of my cheek.

I have a cheap 80's rock hairstyle now. In short, I look pretty much like Rod Stewart.

Latest, I have 'ketumbit' on ma left eye.

And I have to make sure all these are gone in 7 days!

Isn't life just AWESOME???



Tak penah2 byk jerawat.. time nih lak nk keluar...

Tak penah2 salah haircut, time ni lah nk silap...

Tak penah2 ketumbit, time ni lahhh nk kena...


Nak kata stressed out, tak pun...

I'm seriously lazing my ass off at home as if I have just given birth to triplets.

Why???? Why????

Why NOWWWW????

Please pray for me.. that I will at least look like a normal human being in 7 days..

I hope I am not asking for a miracle to happen.

*BIG sigh*
