Brighton

Today, the 4 days holiday begin. We've never been outside of London for as long as we're together. Its always the plan and more plan for years, until today. Its kinda long awaited breakaway i must say. I have been doing nothing but working and studying for the past one year. This weekend's gonna be the best 4 days ever (fingers crossed). So relax and enjoy whatever.

Today, we've decided to go to Brighton. It was ok i supposed. Its pretty quiet the city, kinda less hassle and quite calm. I grew up with all sort of havoc-ness, fast moving environment, so the idea of things going slowly in the city as big as Brighton kinda scare me a bit. The same said about Geneva. Its really quiet, its almost surreal.

But hey, its not all bad, although i am kinda disappointed with the fish and chips. Its true, dont be fooled by a nice fancy restaurant. Sigh. But the sun was behaving well today. So it makes the whole journey extra nice.

the sun was up

very highly UNRECOMMENDED

thank you Brighton

In short, our Saturday was a blessed. I am very grateful. I am thanking God for that. So its Xmas tomorrow, which also means staying in because there will be no public transport tomorrow in London, unless u have a car, which we dont! Not even a bicycle. Ha ha. So next 3 days will be about footie and shopping. That should cheer me up.

Well ok. Think thats enough for now. I hope everyone have a very good holiday. Its time to put your feet up and enjoy whatever it is on the telly with a nice cuppa. I know i'll do that. So take care now, and Ho Ho Ho Merry Christmas.

good food, good company, good nite..GREAT COMBO!

Last week was the wackiest craziest most fun week ever for as long as i am here in the City of London (by the way Rocky Balboa is on the telly "ya know what i mean"). It was so much fun, so many food, so much laughter and most importantly, so much love. Too much indeed. It was a great Sunday (last week's Sunday) to start off with after a long battle trying to stay focus with both work and study commitment. As days passed by, i thought those fun days will never come. But dog days are finally over. I was looking forward to a much needed hassle free days, except when i am working obviously.

That Sunday, i went out with my umpy. We decided to go for some shopping spree and a nice quiet dinner for my belated birthday celebration. So, yeah! We did break the bank unfortunately, but hey, we worked hard for it, so we deserved to pamper ourselves with something, shopping in this case. So we conquered Bond Street for a little while (i wish!), and then went for a very nice dinner at Sofra. Umpy's food was ok, but mine was better. ha ha. But then again, it was such a lovely Sunday, to be able to spent it with Umpy makes it even more special. It was an excellent way to start the week off with.

love u lots Umpy

Then come Thursday, and my weekends start that day. Went for a fancy dinner at Stef's. It was even more special because Belle was around. Haven't seen that woman for quite sometimes, so it was really nice to finally see her again, after that last night out months back. It was 5 of us. 5 very noisy ladies, in a posh (or not?) Italian restaurant. So much to talk about, so little time to eat (ONLY applicable to ABIR, ha ha), very "itchy" Johana Husna Jamil Hajar Meyer, and yes, a very very posh, sexy and pretty Zaty and Belle. That was an excellent combo, good food and good company that is. It ends on a very "high note". VERY HIGH! ha ha

Seafood Pizza (translation of the actual name in the menu. ha ha)

Belle's dessert

longest goodbye because we're meeting again the day after and two days later ha ha

The next day, i gained 2kg due to two very special events, the company's Christmas Dinner and Zaty's house warming party. Omigosh, it was among the best EATING day of my life. Both food was at its best. Assaha Restaurant served a very delicious Lebanese food. The crowd was OK, nothing special, but luckily the food didn't disappoint me. Zaty lives few block down the road from Assaha. So, i didn't even have the chance to digest the food, and i am off to another eating session. Belle cooked the best Sambal Ikan Bilis ever (Spicy Anchovies). That's the first time I've ever eat a turkey, it was tasty the way Belle cooked it. And yes, because the Sambal Ikan Bilis was so good, i just have to eat it with the turkey. Also we had some salad and bola-bola (because the Brussels Sprout does look like a ball = bola, i called it bola-bola, or shall i say we? ha ha), also were excellent indeed.

everyone is in a high spirit

Well the second best part of the house warming party is that, they surprised me with a belated birthday celebration. I swear i am so touched, felt like crying (but i manage to pull myself together ok!). Thank you so very much. It meant a lot. They place them candles on top of those delicious eclairs, which were very simple and yet it tasted so good. I really appreciate it. And the third best part of the party, is the secret santa! Secret santa gave me "My Fair Lady", but i haven't got the time to watch it just yet, i will soon! Whoever u are, thank u so very much. The climax of the party gotta be Wii's Just Dance. It was uber fun and effing exciting. Everybody has been a very a good sport. Everyone was dancing, its time to explore some hidden raw dancing talent, whilst for some, its time to shake that oh so sexy booty. All and all, it was another great night!

belated celebration, Thank you

So Saturday finally came. It was already planned since Monday. ha ha (yes, we were all very excited about it). As expected, it was another epic night, indeed it was 3 epic nights in a row! Its time to let loose. It was a very busy night. It was packed. But you know what they say, when you know how to have fun, it doesn't matter cause u will anyway. Yes, we were having so much fun. But past midnight, some funny row took place. "Someones" were throwing an unexpected tantrum in the club. Why? Because of G-A-Y! ha ha. But they both were too cute, and they love each other too much, they made up only after less than 5minutes and so we decided to enjoy and continue the rest of the night by staying put until the clock tick 2..or so! ha ha.

pout baby pout

i love you

This was meant to be longer than usual, because i just cannot describe the week itself in words. It was simply amazing. I did try to make it short and simple, but when somethings so good happened to u, don't u just wanna tell the whole world about it? i know I AM! These are among the most amazing people I've met along the way. I had a very long journey, but when people like these came into your life, its all just worth it! Its makes u grow stronger and this turn u into a better person. If its not for them, London life will be dull.

"I will stay if you don't walk away, I will take your hand if u give it to me"

That's what true friends do! Thank you so very much for such an amazing journey for the past week especially. U all have a special place in my heart! I love all of u very dearly.

RACISM got to go dude

Recently, the British nation fall into these racism issues..again! The issue that's not supposed to happened in a very well developed country like England, also being among the most multiracial community living in one nation. Its a shame really. Claiming yourself living in a well-developed country, when reality is that you were way behind the 3rd world country. Being Asian, i sometimes feel the jibe of being watched and talked about behind my back. The treatment from some people really is shocking i must say. Not everyone welcomes u to their country. Believe it or not, Malaysians are no different. We are all selfish in our own way.

There's no need to finger point anyone in this case. We all live to survive, and survive to live. We all do everything in our power to have a good life. Differences are some of us do it in a good manner, whilst some are just a pure "dodger". I can understand why sometimes, some people tend to think that immigrants lead to job loses for them, but believe it or not, if there's no immigrants, no one will wants to do the "dirty" work. Not many locals will want to clean the toilet, or work at the construction site or be a security guard. Reality bites they say, well its true.

this is unacceptable

we all pay tax lady!

But then again, there's no need to be greedy. Its basically the same principle, almost as same as the bank loan. We give u the money, u pay us back with the interest as a profit for the bank. We give u the job, u pay us the tax for the benefits of the people. Its a win-win situation really. Regardless what color you are, if you work hard, it will paid off. Discrimination will not get you the money you want. Racism will not give you the respect you want. The world is a better place, if we could all just leave them colors alone. Black is beautiful, Yellow is gold, White is pure, Brown is stunning, Blue is the sky and Green is the tree. We need each other to survive. That is just life.

Dear friend

I will treasure u if u could take the honor to do the same to me. I do have many friends, as a matter of fact i have lots of them. Like u, some stay and most just fade away. I have friends from all walk of life, from different ages, from different behaviors and the best of all, from the same wants and needs as a friends which include comfort, trust and fun.

There are friends who i grew up together with. These people have been there for me through thick and thin,for more than 15years now. Sports day, playing cupid, crazy outings, gossiping, shopping, u name it! Everything. I love them with all my heart. Although we're far away, its the thought that matter. Surprisingly, we all have different traits. Some of us are really naughty, some are really naive, some are really bonkers but then, we have that one same thing on being loud. No, i mean REALLY loud! Recently, thanks to whatsapp, the barrier looks smaller than ever. I woke up reading hundreds of unread messages due to the 8hours differences. Me, i replied when everyone else is sleeping, because basically its 2am back at home. I miss them a lot. I know they love me, although we never really say it out loud among us. But just in case if these girls dont know that by now "oi women!! I love u heaps!!!"

golden treasure

Then i have friends who i met during my uni time, which was around 10years ago. Although i dont really talk to them as much these days, i will forever cherish those wonderful days i had with them. Those saving my ass moments, those fighting moments, those crazy moments. I love these girls to bits too.

ten years!

Then i have friends who are good friends. I have few of these people in my list. I have few back at home, which i will definitely makes some times to meet them once i go home. I hope they know who they are, because i really adore these people. Also i have friends who i got to know when i am here in London. Again, these people should know who they are too. Without them, think my life here will be an absolute waste. Thank you for being there for me.

love

london sweetheart

Then i have friends who come and go as they like, for many reasons. Amongst other include i am not important enough anymore, i am not cool, i am not hip and the list goes on and on and on. But im not sorry, thats life. People will take advantage of u in every possible way, as much as they can. They can take everything they want, but they can never take me!

But of all that, when ure close to my heart, i will never do anything in anyway to hurt u. My words might sound harsh, my gestures might suggest the other way around but i mean no harm. So forgive me dear friend if i ever said or did something that might hurt u intentionally or not. I will cherish you, but if u walk away like any others, just because i lost that spot in ur heart, then dont worry about me. Because perhaps, u deserve a better friends than i am.

Borrowed world

Little did we know that anything can happen to anyone in the blink of an eye. I came across this girl that have been mention about a lot on Twitter and Facebook. I dont know about her until today. She passed away this morning due to a chronic asthma disease which is difficult for me to remember and pronounce the scientific name for it. My deepest condolences goes out to her family.

Story like this, where a normal healthy person's life was turned around in such a dramatic and sad way. It got me thinking, whether or not are we prepared to get tested as such. Are we ready to face the test by God with what we have to offer for Him? Its always a scary thought, IF u are no way close to ready. I admit i have a long way to go..a very very long one.

Everyday i pray and hope that i will be given enough time to repent before i go and meet Him, as well as chance to give back to my parents for what they have given me. I pray and hope that when times come, am i ready to go, well prepared! I hope by then people will forgive and forget whatever i've done to them intentionally or unintentionally. I hope by then, everyone will offer me their praises and prayers, and remember me for good deeds ive done and let go of the hatred that ive caused.

Until now, i hope and pray that i'll be shown a right path and to get back on a right track to being a good muslim, before my times up. One day, we will all leave this borrowed world, and the different is that how much will we bring with us.

Wallahualam. May God bless us all and may we all be given a chance to improve on being a better person, a better muslim before we go and meet Him, insyaAllah.

Isnt it weird?

Ive been living in England for almost 4years now, but the only place ive been to in England is Liverpool and Bicester Village. Well London is out of question because i am currently based in London.

But here's the thing, ive been in England long enough and surely ive been to all nice places and countrysides in England right? WRONG! This is where i made my point. If u havent notice, u will most unlikely go to places that tourists will go even if ure a foreigner, if u lived in that country. Well darling, dont mind me if u actually do tour the whole England when ure here. I am an alien then.

Well, then again. It doesnt just happen to me here. Even when i am back at home, dude i can count those times i went up to Genting or eat some nice foods at Jonker Walk or all those nice sightseeing places in Malaysia. Why? I honestly have no idea whatsoeva.

So, ive made a plan. Since an oversea trip is cancel this time around, im gonna bring my family to Bath, Cambridge, Stonehenge and other beautiful places in England. Think i need to do that myself too. Ive heard nice stories and seen beautiful pictures of these places. So it cant be that bad, and i honestly think it will be an awesome trip. Until i do, im just gonna share them pictures ive found on the internet, instead of mine.

Cambridge

Stonehenge

Bath

But still, isnt it weird? If no one tells me about these nice waterfall or hot spring in suburban area of Selangor, i will never know about those places, let alone to go there. So maybe its me yeah? Ha ha. I am the weirdo then? ok, maybe i am! laters people..

Ghost and GAY

I am not getting any younger, hence the limited fun time i have at the moment...or not!! Fine, it may looks like i am not ready to hang my dancing shoes and partying dresses just yet, but the time will come. So i dont need any haters or prejudice people to come and judge me based on what they see and not what they know. So shut it and bitch about it elsewhere.

As much as the limited fun time im talking about at the beginning of the post, i am pretty sure we all know, that we all have our own limited time borrowed to us here in the world. So, might as well i keep that to myself, as obviously i am in no place to talk about something so deep and serious like that. When the times come, i will definitely share it with you lot.

Ive been out and let loose with my dearest friends over the past few weeks. No point dragging about it, as i believe these pictures tell the whole story by itself.

Those fun nights include halloween day and a visit to GAY for the risks and johnny (ok, its actually for charlie). It was fun, and trying to keep up with the young ones is not easy. Ha ha. But, it was fun time, and everybody needs that once in a while, are we all not?

the girls and i

fun company

keker and i

take "three" to tango

we are charlie's fan (charlie! charlie!)

....and crazy!

we love charlie...right??

So there u go. To those who only knows to judge and complaint, u should try it urself. I am not saying do it my way, but go out, have fun, see the world. U got nothing to lose, but 5mins of relaxation will do u good. Enjoy life people. We all deserved it.

Que sera sera

When i was younger, i honestly dont have this big ambitions like some people do..i really live my life as a kid..i mean, i go to school..get a really good UPSR results..

Later when i went into secondary school, life start to change, but not my ambitions, which i still so much is clueless about what im gonna do when i grow older. Life is more challenging. Its fun fun fun. Skipping schools, skipping classes, skipping tuitions. I am not a bright student, neither am i a bookworm. Hence the average results for both PMR and SPM.

Then its decision time, when i manage to get myself into the uni. I wanted to be a photographer, told papa that. But the respond was not good. He said its not a secured career. Then he told me to do journalism, cause i talked a lot. Yet, nothing came out of both initial so-called ambitions.

Suddenly, i saw myself applying for accounting course, which was way out of the initial plan. 10years down line, everything is history. Here i am, an accouting masters degree graduate, and in a race to complete my ACCA exams. Its kinda my ultimate dream at the moment to complete my ACCA, and as i was saying before, im not a smartie and definitely not a geek. So, its a very tough journey, but i am pretty sure im gonna get there.

Today, my initial plan on becoming a photographer, becomes a hobby. I am not a good photographer, no skills, no good camera but an iphone4. Thats all i need. It really gives me such a dear pleasure knowing people do appreciate my work on instagram, although its only few of them. It really is a good app for a secret dreamer and believer like me.

Life is just too short to waste it. I admit i have millions of plans in head, but by doing it bit by bit, its the least that i can do to satisfy myself.

blabbing

i miss blogging! i really do. but i got really caught in the moment. works are piling up. exams are drawing near by day. umpy is leaving real soon. its like everything comes down on me at the same time. i am lucky enough to be able to breath over the weekend though.

well, i had some fun weekends, but aint got no time to write about it. I'm thinking of compiling everything and put it all in one blog.....after the exams. at this very moment, food is not ready, nothing on the telly, just got back from work, and so i reckon why not update my blog. and so i did.

just now, when i was on the bus on my way back home, a drunken man hop on the bus. its fair to say hes absolutely lost it. its also fair to say, the alcohol definitely has taken a toll on him. he talked to himself, he repeatedly lick his fingers and clean his shoes, i mean how can u clean your shoes with your fingers, a very dirty ones, and then licked it again and then clean it, licked it and clean it, licked it and clean it...ok, u probably got the idea by now. he was so drunk he smoke in the bus, and start asking people for another sports bar. i dont think he meant any harm, but with a drunken man, u never know! it got me thinking, why are we actually scared of drunken people? well i dont know about u, but for me, its terrifying really!

work is piling up, i dont even have time to study today. tried to study every night, but i fall alseep like every 5minutes, that at some point i feel like ive been sleeping for only few hours. cause what i did was fall asleep, wake up, study, fall asleep, wake up, study and finally settle down at 3am, every single day! i think i'm getting old, i cant do it anymore. working and studying, waking up early, go to work. this shud be able to motivate me to study harder so that i'll pass it this time around.....yes??

life is not easy, but how the hell does people with disabilities are more successful than i am? life most possibly is waaaaaay harder for them right? i dont really complaint as much, although everyday its gotta be the same "i am tired!" coming out from my mouth. man this guy i saw just now on the telly, he has no leg, and he's so successful..he's a multimillionaire. envy! always when things like this come up, its always that thought "hmm, what should i do to be successful?". being an employee for the rest of yourself will not make u rich sadly. hard life aint it? working ur ass off, and still skint like fuck! the answer is simple, the more u earn, the more u spent! i am not getting younger, so i need to think of a way to be self-employed and kaaaaa-ching..be rich!! DREAM ON!!

damn, i need food! i am hungry, and i always tell myself "that's why ure fat, because ure hungry all the time, and u eat all the time!" but i love food too much to not eat it and enjoy it rather than eat some of it, and then play with it until everyone's done! ok, i am starving. need to check the food now. have a good weekends u lot. cheerios!


-lady-

this is the life

today i literally decided to write another blog. this time its about what ive talked about in my last blog, about life i.e. things happening around me, people around me etc.

i swear i am not being envious or jealous of any of your life. i just literally wish it happened to me too, but this is the life. like what they always say "someone gotta do the dirty job ay?" well in this case, its me! see, if everyone else is famous, if everyone else is rich or if everyone else is smart, then who wanna be lame, who wanna be poor or who wanna be dumb? but then again, i am not saying i wanna be any of the latter, yet someone needs to be that right? i am very average! VERY AVERAGE! i aint got no big house, aint got no big brain, aint got no big zero's on my monthly paycheck either. but, i would love to have that one day. i'll get there myself. insyaAllah i will! but hey, i am not the only one who have that in mind. everyone else is (u can stop mumbling now, and start making it work).

undoubtedly, there is some people who loves to be over the top. tell the whole world that they're better than everyone else. cmon, no one's an idiot really! if i say i put a picta of myself on facebook or twitter or instagram just for me to see it, than that's the blackest white lies ive ever heard! and because of that,why dont u just pull the fucking trigger now? dhuh, its obviously for people to see. its for me to share. but what i don't understand is, people who post their picta, but its NOT THEM really! dont get me wrong, no one human being in the world are the same, not even the twins! but my point is, pictures never lie..but we human being, we do. we lie, while pictures never lie, we made them.

and then, people who bullshit about their life, worst, about their pathetic life! honestly? ure the freakiest joke ive ever met..like EVER! why would u tell people about how asshole ur husband can be? why would u tell people about how misery ur life is? why would u tell people about other people's slack? why would u share such a secret, very private and confidential issue with your so-called friend? imagine u have 1000 friends, wowza! but who the hell are u kidding? only 1% of those 1000 "friends", are your friends! do u seriously think they'll feel sorry for u? well THINK AGAIN! nowadays, no one cares. really, NO ONE, especially when ure a NO ONE! so keep it to urself, or share it in private with your friends. not some strangers whom u added just to show the world how famous u are, when its the same person who keep commenting and posting on ur wall! but hey, that's just a sincere suggestion, but if u like being the center of attention (a JOKE that is), help yourself! people love free show :)

and then, people who posted something to get noticed, but it is literally over the top, and they tried too very hard that it kinda obvious, till the extent that u just smile and people beside u would think ure crazy! i mean like cmon dude, the world does not revolve around u. open ur eyes! ure supposed to be smarter than me, well i guess a book smart will always be a book smart (kinda means u stay too much in the library that ur life get suck by the wall and the silent-less around u). so stop being a wannabe. just relax, and enjoy life!

well, i can go on and on and on about this forever. but think i made my point tonite, and i honestly think no matter how dumb u r, u cannot possibly be that dumb that not understand fucko. u know, i keep telling myself to not judge people, but its one the most hated gift a human being could ever asked for, to be so fucking JUDGMENTAL! like look at urself, u aint better, or look at urself, shes probably all that bla bla bla. but oh well, after all we are all the same. im gonna signoff now. should be studying, and will be studying! u lot have a lovely lovely weekend! remember, no one is better than u, but then again God doesn't create the world just to urself. it always best to stay firm on the ground, because in that case u wont fall. u might stumble, but it aint gonna hurt as much as falling! nitey

-lady-

so where are we?

well oh well. wow i miss blogging, although no one's reading. i love writing, although i know i am not as good! i'll try to make it interesting, but what's the point? i ain't doing no fashion blog, i ain't doing no trying to be cool, i ain't writing no words of wisdom..all i'm writing about is myself which is none of the above. boohoo!

so, myself! last week was all quiet. works OK (it literally means sucks!), study OK (it literally means, i am working on it), love's great (really, it means GREAT) and social life was pretty quiet! had a few too little. went out with Zaty last Friday, out to Russell Square for Bloomsbury Festival. Lighting the lantern they say. It was beautiful. Its the kinda festival that i would enjoy going to. Why? Because not much of a crowd. Haaa! Plus, always nice catching up with Zaty.

just got back from work

the lantern

English 'wayang kulit' =)

its really pretty

lovely design

Then came Sunday, it turned upside down. We lost 6-1 to our noisy neighbor. Its heartbreaking, but baby, we'll bounce back. Because that's always the spirit of a champion! yes we will! its always slow start at the beginning of the season, like it always had. But, we'll sort ourselves out soon. pretty soon!

But really, life is pretty slow at the moment. Working, working, studying, studying, enjoying life then back to working, working then studying, studying! You know what, there's loads to talk about, about people around me, about things happening around me, but nothing of it has me in it! so, every time when i start blogging, i always plan to write about it, but nothing is more interesting for me than myself. hey, lets face it! no one cares about u, unless if u have something. but unlike u, i dont care about u even if u have everything that i don't. because, nothing's more than fun, than living the life God gives me. For now, i am going for a win, and win only! i wanna make my parents proud of me, i wanna be the best person i could ever be. so, i'm gonna get back to it now, by first watching Celebrity Juice. ha ha. have a good night!
