Just got back yesterday evening. and boy oh boy am i tired!! it rained when i stepped off from the train....but surprisingly..it stopped when we got off the tram to walk to the house.

paris was heaven :) i loved it there. the ppl are friendly...no encounter with any bang-sist ppl at all. the only sucky thing about our whole trip was the weather.

Day 1
It was around almost 8pm when we arrived in Gare Du Nord. It was raining...took the metro to go to our apartment. Had a bit of trouble searching for the street our apartment was in, but this elderly couple asked us if we needed help and showed us where the street should be..(kan baik kannn??) hehehe...so we found it (rupanya it was only 2 blocks away... -_-)

oh and guess what? our landlord? he is so panas. But a neat freak O_o. His apartment is SO well kept. Not a dust in sight!! love love love the place. although it was pretty small...it was cosy there :) we were all hungry... so we all decided to explore the streets around the apartment and scrouge around for food. and guess what?? banyak kadai halal. how awesome was that? we finally settled for this kebab place around the corner of our street. nice guys....we ended up getting to know em...although the conversation was excruciating..they know little english...and we know little french...so most of our conversations were just hand gestures and elaborate sounds. haha. palui lagi tu eh...the dudes were tryna convince durang sai,lei and beng hui to send us home and then join them for some disco! disco! hahaha talor!

Day 2
Woke up early. We all companied Sai to the Plaza Athenee. and holy moly...that place is awesome. sai is a lucky bizatch. i fell in love with the walking closet...fish with the bathroom. lets just say that those places are bloody huge...so u can imagine just how the bedroom would look like. then after that we walked from the hotel toooOoooo the louvre. GILA KAN?!?! hehe. but its good though...cause we wanted to look at all the sights. on the way there...we passed the golden bridge..the concorde...and les tuilleries. took pics of all the really pretty sights ofcourse. the louvre was effin huge...we had fun though...weren't really interested in some of the paintings and the sculptures...saw de venus de milo and the mona lisa...catu rupanya usulnya..pikir basar...it was just a tiny weeny painting. feh. after that we just walked around and we were actually searching for a japanese restaurant...but we came across this chinese restaurant instead...and left beng hui in charge with the whole interacting thing... bagus lah... inda nyasal si beng hui ikut..he met a veryyy kawaii girl working there. haha. talor...gatal anak ah. tapi kami bekata2...the food is DECEIVING!! we thought it was cheap..but it was all ikut measurements...and the bill ended up being 50+ euros?!??!! grr...stupid mee with all the taugehs. feh feh feh. marah si fish membaca ni.. haha.

Day 3
EURO DISNEY BABYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!! was so psyched. smiling all throughout the entire journey there. ahhhh~ even the cold and windy weather didnt rattle me. had cotton candy...so taisliur...i wanna search for cotton candy di sheffield eh. siapa tau di mana bejual??? taisliur ku!! anyhooss...back to what i was saying..it felt like i stepped into a fairytale when i walked in. everything is so PRETTY!! and there was a huge pink castle. *sighhh* lawaaaa~

my favourite moments were during the parade. they played this one song "just like we dreamed it". It was especially created for it's 15th anniversary...it has that high school musical and disney cartoon songs kind of feel to it. it was beeeyooooteeeefoooool!! and then there was the studio tram tour at the walt disney studios...that one was awesome. they showed us the special physical effects. will put up the video of it soon. once i get hold of it from beng hui. they literally showed us the water rushing towards us from the mountain. gilaa! we shrieked!! hahahaha. the other one was the hollywood tower hotel. that one was effin freaky!! imagine being taken to an elevator...and havin it go down real real real fast. and then go back up again. then down..and up..and down all the way. berijab kan?? its like giant drop but over and over again. a must try ride if anyone is going there. two thumbs up! ull scare urself shitless there. hehehehe.

Oh...did i mention that we experienced three different weathers during the whole time we were there? at first it was cold...and windy..with a lil bit of sun...and then after that...it was raining lightly...and then it snowed...and then it rained heavily. but we persevered! yay! but we finally gave up when it was turning dark. the walk home was excruciating..we were all hungry...and freezing. and we decided to go to the japanese restaurant that was near our apartment. and guess what? it was MURAH and NYAMAN! darnnnn~ i love it there. i didnt have any of the sushi ofcourse...i dont believe in raw food. so i had the grilled salmon. yum~ that was heaven.

Day 4
went to the arc de triomphe first. it was effin huge. i didnt think it was gonna be that huge. then after that we just went souvenir shopping. came across SKECHERS while we were window shopping. i HAD to go in..been a skechers fan since...um....since forever!! so i looked around..and ada banyak lawa lawaaaa arah the new arrivals. and i know i need new shoes for spring, i cant keep wearing my boots during spring and summer kan kan? pasal my pink skechers sneakers are so BLUE sudah...talor wah. my jeans bleed..and its always raining here in sheffield...so u can imagine how buruk it makes my sneakers look. *sniff* so i needed new ones...didnt have enough money though...so i had to call my dad and minta permission to use the credit card. and my dad gave me the greenlight! hurray!! so i was really happy. wanted to wear it tarus...but my friends adviced me against it..pasal it was rainy season there right now...so i wouldnt want my new shoes to be stained. :P

after that we went to the eiffel tower!! it was such a looOOOng queue...and fish suggested that we take the stairs to go up. (yeah i know...kami deathwish) but how many ppl can say that they actually climbed the stairs to go to the top eh eh? we literally climbed the eiffel tower man!! tpi kami menyasal plang once we reached oh i dont know...230 ft? 300 ft sudah? haha. it was realy cold and windy...and we wanted to stay there sampai malam so we can see the tower light up...so we hung out arah the cafe. lawaaaaa the sights...so we took pics...checked out the scenery....and just chilled. and guess what?? we were lucky enough to watch when they actually switched on the flashing lights. so the tower was all blue and sparkly for roughly...ten minutes? then after that kana tutup balik and it was the biasa yellow lighting tia. took the metro home andddddd we had sushi again! hehe. nyaman *drool* (i had the grilled salmon again ofcourse - hehe)

Day 5
woke up feeling dreadful. we're going back to london today! boo! alex gave us our deposit back...and off we went to the train station. sampai arah brunei hall and it was panuh again. so we asked the dude at the receptionist if we could stay over at dijahs room. so we did. and we all memburuk the whole day the next day.

Day 6
liat dvd and more dvds. then we all decided to go out that night after dinner to search for scrabble. can u imagine we walked all the way from edgeware road to bond street just to look for scrabble??! talor wah kami ah. hehehe. but in the end we found one arah the big HMV arah bond st! hurray! jgn bali arah self ridges..talor mahal ah. they hike up the price so high my eyes bulged when i looked at the price tag. oh...and we stopped by arah chicken cottage before we headed to brunei hall. nyaman kali ah the bbq chicken!! yumyum.

Day 7
Dijah balik hari aniii! picked her up at paddington station. after that we just hung out and memburuk some more. had lunch at nandos...hung out arah whiteleys..i window shopped..durang lain..especially si fish brabis meny-opping. i would shop to fish..tpi bank ku punya balance tidak mengizinkan. hehehehe. remind me to buy loads and loads of books nanti. mental note to self. yupyup. then we got hungry again...and ate arah waffle house. nyamannn~ had waffles with icecream. then after that dijah wanted to have coffee arah starbucks...coz she needed coffee to wake her up from her jetlag..she wanted to have a normal sleeping pattern. but kesian tho..she slept early...around 10 something kali. so it was just me and fish yg liat cerita antu that nite. berijabbbbb~ but 1408 was good lah. john cusack. hes such a gooooodd actor. i would recommend ya'll to watch it :)

Day 8
woke up. packed. had lunch di bawah. the menu was soto with ayam. nyamannn~ i put a lot of chilli and soy sauce in it...so it was padas. i think ive got a weird taste...im into those pain-like tastes like wasabi and lada. heh heh. aku rindu makan pizza si rash now. *drool* train left for sheffield at 3 something.

oh oh..did i mention that im gettin clumsier by the minute? ive been gettin myself into lil accidents..banging myself against things lah.. oh...and i fell on my BUTT arah the stairs arah the apartment. ia punya tangga talor wah..it doesnt have a railing..and it was the spiral staircase..i was wearing my socks...so it was slippery. and i fell!! gah! my left side was throbbing and my left leg had a big cut. it wasnt deep though..baik jua si fish ada plaster yg basar. thanks babe!!

so now im looking forward tooOOoo....the bbq at havelock next week!! *drool* love bbq's during spring time. mudahannn inda ujan. and im really hoping that it wont be windy and cold.

will post up pics of my trip soon. just as soon as i get hold of semua durang punya memory cards. hehe.

The house is so quiet..... -_-

no one is up yet. it issss..... 10.09 am rite now.

i tried changing my blog's skin yesterday. i found this really nice pink background with butterflies everywhere. ripped off the HTML...and embedded that to mine...but then when i previewed it, everything just looks all wonky...then i got too malas to usai it...so maybe ill do it next week kah...after my trip.. coz right now ive got more pressing matters. im trying to finish as much criminal minds episodes as possible. im wayyyy behind. ive finished season 1 last nite. heh heh. and now im up to ep 4 on season 2. im so proud of myself *pats back*

u see...i usually cant go on watching any series for long wah..i think i have a short attention span. i usually hafta take a break in between and do something else. but fish was there to give me moral support so it wasnt that bad. and i made sure i wore my uv glasses so i wont get eye strain. gila..banyak jua preparation sudah tu.

speaking of preparation...im gonna start packing today. im soOOoo excited about tomorrow. the much anticipated trip to paris is finally tomorrow!! yay! so ill be in paris for 5 days..and then im going to be in london for a few days after that. hang out with my friends di sana dulu. i wonder if any of the girls will be there? WANA!! ENA!! turun ke london lahhh!! and i wonder if dijah is back yet? that woman said she'll be back sometime around the end of march...it'll be nice to memburuk with her again. enjoyed our last memburuk weekend together. heehee. maybe we can play cranium again. hehehe.

i was actually supposed to go jogging this morning. tapikannnn~ there was this one episode i watched arah criminal minds..about girls being abducted while they were jogging. traumatized ku meliat. brrrr. so maybe ill wait a couple of days before i can get that episode out of my mind. or maybe i shouldn't listen to music while i jog...tpi inda siuk bahhh kalau nada music. but i *do* bring my trusty pepper spray with me and my cell phone discreetly tucked on the inside of my jacket.

..........

im waiting for the postman to come....where's my package ahhh?

..............................

maybe i should have breakfast dulu....

*sheila on 7 - kau kini ada playing in the background*

time: 10.46am
date: 19th March 2008
mission: write on blog
objective: make a kick-ass post

hehehehehe. ok. im jobless. :P

i had a very productive day so far. woke up early...cause i slept early the previous night. doh! and i was pleasantly surprised to find that today is nice and sunny! a beeeyooooteeeful day to go jogging! :) did my usual morning routine, switched on my laptop...checked my email...cakap arah msn skajap *grin*

did my warm ups....went out.

darn. atu sajuk.

i hate it when the weather *looks* nice and warm..but it isnt? grrr. but i braved the cold winds...and jogged. and then there's the jogging uphill bit. makes u feel so defeated when u reach the top and ur gasping and panting for air ah? ur expression when ur breathing heavily is not a pretty sight as well. oh...something totally random. a lexus SC430 whizzed past by when i was wheezing and panting...waahhhh~ lawa eh.

i cut my jogging route short coz it was too damn windy...so i got home pretty quick after that. did the usual 10 min aerobics and lifted weights after that...but lets not get to the mundane details now eh?

im actually waiting for my turn to shower now...just had breakfast...*sniff* i think i smell... -_-

doo dee doooooo dum dum~


u know...i was just talking to my guy friends in the kitchen while we were preparing dinner the other day...and i mentioned how we are gonna be here in 6 more mths blabla..and then azmi interrupted me and said "four". and i went..."oh yeaaaa~! four!"

it just hit me. im gonna be here 4 more mths lagi saja. and that got me thinking. time flies by sooOOo fast. i mean...it felt like it was yesterday that i got back here from summer hols. a lot has just been happening kali..maybe thats why it felt so skajap. but u know. im torn. im really excited to be going back home. but part of me is going to miss good ol sheffield...and im really going to miss living with my friends. ive grown quite attached to having them around me. im not gonna miss my single bed tho. blech. my double bed at home is ahhh~ so nice and big. miss just rolling around in a big bed. note to self: get a new mattress once i get home.

i guess its just like school and work. part of me is excited about starting work and not hitting those books again. but then again..part of me is also going to miss school life. and besides...there are a lot of responsibilities tied with being a working woman. im not sure if im ready and mature enough to handle all that yet -_-

decisions decisions. i guess thats part of growing up. i miss those days when i was younger when the hardest decision for me was whether i should eat the yellow M&Ms or blue M&Ms first :P

maybe ill pull a billy madison. tell the kids to stay in elementary school as long as they can. haha. start going all crazy and wide eyed...start shaking the kid in the face when they say they can't wait to go to high school.

gosh..this is turning out to be one long ass post.

speaking of post...i cant wait for my package to arrive! teeheeheeeee :)

ever had those days where you are just so bangang and indecisive about everything? ive been having those moments more and more recently. For instance, just yesterday..i was in the kitchen and opening the cupboard and was thinking of what i wanna have for lunch. Saw my pasta...and i thought "cool! id make pasta...havent had that in a while!" and i went on to search for the ready-made pasta sauce.... (whaaattt? its easier bahhh....hehe..and quicker :P - FYI, i know how to make my own pasta sauce, i just cant be arsed to do so)

and then i changed my mind...cause in the middle of going through the jars and tins...i came across baked beans!! and i thought maybe i should have baked beans with half boiled eggs since ive got tons of eggs in the fridge!

put back the pasta....and the jar...and took the baked beans out.

and then i remembered ive still got loads of prawns in the freezer and i should finish that before it goes bad. put the baked beans tin back inside the cupboard...took my pasta out and searched for the pasta jar again...

and then i remembered that i need to finish the eggs by the 26th...(i dont know why those eggs have an expiry date! barutah ku tau eggs ada expiry date tu....) so i proceeded to take the baked beans out again..

and then i was mentally slapping myself cause i realized how bloody silly i look putting things back in and taking it out balik2.

so in the end i just went along with baked beans.

talor eh

"i'm selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, im out of control, and at times, hard to handle. But if you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best."

i really like this quote from marilyn monroe. and i think its cause i can really relate to it. i am THE most insecure person i know. i get insecure about a LOT of things. for instance, just recently, i was complaining to my friends about how fat i am. but its true though...i have gained some weight..well compared with the same time last yr lah. and i think the reason why im fatter than i am last yr cause last yr i was playing netball like every week. this yr...i havent joined any sports. so i try to make it up to myself by going jogging. but the thing is..i havent done any lately...one things was coz of the exams..and then classes have started..and whenever i try doing it during the weekend..it gets really cold or its raining. so u can just imagine how tough it is for me to do any jogging at all! so that usually just leaves me to do a lil bit of workout at home..in my room :P which is very limited and leaves me with very little choice gah!!

and darn darn darn..u know wat else im thinking about rite now? i need constant attention. or else i think that no one is interested in me. my friend rashie said that maybe im a bit on the high maintenance side...i really do get what shes trying to say. but i cant *help* it bahhh...if i dont get the attention that i think i need...i get all moody..and grumpy...and then id start thinking all kinds of nonsense things..and i start gettin insecure....insecure about myself..my looks...my grades...my love life...GAHHHHH!!

and then my poor friends would have to get the brunt of it cause i go to them and whine and pout and they'd hafta listen to my rants.

heh heh heh. sorry kamu. but i laps u all for layan-ing me. god knows i really need attention rite now.. kalau inda mental ku sudah kali. *sighhhh*

You Are Medium Maintenance
You aren't as hard to deal with as some girlsBut you aren't the most laid back chick eitherYou're easy to deal with 90% of the time, but watch out for that 10%!If the guy you are with has good intentions, then calm down a littleBut if he's really screwing up, don't waste your breath - move on :-)

nyahaha. i knew im not psycho

This is a real funny videoclip. Totally addicted to this song right now. its been on repeat in my itunes for 4 days in a row now :P. But this videoclip is funny cause of the guy. Capi wah his expressions. He is so over the top for *everything*, check out his expressions throughout the entire this videoclip. Masa ia main guitar hero cali ah. haha. I am not surprised why Mariah Carey fell for him though (in this videoclip), any guy who would do all that with a girl is a keeper!
