goo goo ggaaa

When I entered the office, I saw my manager at my desk, helping me to log in the comp. She was at the same time messaging on her phone.

F: hi! good morning!
M: hey, fattanah, ur here, I was just about to send u an sms
F: ouh, a huh...
M: ok, Mrs Koh and I will be attending a meeting....blahblahblah

Everything went so fast, that the next minute, I found myself standing all alone in the office. So, here am I blogging away (I've got some work to do, but that could wait a while..haha) and just surfing the net. LOL

Commitment. Once you have declared your commitment to someone, or something,keep to it. It's like a promise, you make one, and then you keep it. All those promises-are-made-to-be-broken thing is bullshit. It's an excuse for people who cannot keep their promises. Back to commitment. So, if you know you are going to face difficulties to keep to something, then, don't pledge your commitment to people who really depend on it. You are going to cause alot of disappointments and hassle. This is through observation, I promise I didn't cut and paste this from some internet website.HAHA.

Dance practise yesterday wasn't that bad. It was fun actually, with making of poses, running around like mad chicken, jumping on people's back, the way I see it, that dance's gonna do well. Even though I am not part of it, but knowing the steps makes me me more aware of its progress.

of death and unexpectedness

My week had been great so far. Not the best, but still comparable... Yesterday however, something unexpected happened, 2 things, in fact, happened to me. And it was more of a misfortune than an incident worth celebrating.

Went to work after madrasah yesterday. It took me 3 tries of clothes, before I decided to wear a baju kurung to madrasah. LOL, of all things..hahaha..BUT, the clothes served its purpose cos, toward the end of my working shift, I received an sms from ama and adee - kak Aidah(or late, kak Aidah), one of MCC's instructor's wife, just passed away... I was caught offguard, cos I received that message after joking around with a staff there. When I read the message, the phrase "Innalillah, wa innalillah hi rojiun.." was uttered and I just became silent. Since ama and fana were planning to visit today, and I had to go to work, I decided to join the MCC main comm 08/09 as well as the adiratna alumni's there yesterday.

It's rather saddening to know a mother left the world leaving behind 2 kids, one a newborn, and the other, just a year old without prior warning. But then again, God loves her more and we, the living, should pray for her soul to rest in peace...Amin.

The other thing that happened to me, was a first- time- it-happened-and-hope-it-won't-happen-again incident. It's rather a distressing experience, so i'll just let the details be 'cherished'(erk) by me in my heart and mind(so emo)..haiz..

all in all, the last day of the week was one which really set me thinking about life, death and the ambiguity and uncertainty of it all...

coolio

how, gentle is the rain
that falls, softly on the meadows
birds, high upon the trees
serenade the clouds
with a melody
whoa..nostalgic man, I tell you this song brings back nostalgic memories, about what, I don't know, but it just reminds me that at times, you got to STOP rushing and look at the surroundings. No, not look, observe(means look and think).

I managed not to sleep in the bus, or the train this morning! How cool is that? and I did not feel sleepy the whole day! I think it's cause I slept early the day before. shiok man..

I know a way to get up from the bus now without falling. Especially when I'm sitting at the face-to-face seat, where there are no hand grips in some buses. I will do like what one apek did. He grabbed the hanging handle, while he was still sitting, with BOTH hands(i admire his long arms!*smirks) held it till the bus was about to approach the bustop(i pity the philippino lady beside him), and swwwuuunnggg himself off the seat !wooh!coolio! Should try it on my way home, cos usually I'm the last to alight from the bus when i go home. Only thing is, are my arms as long and strong as that apek's?hahahhah

I hope i get it, I really hope I do...Both of them...

mundane

Sitting infront of the counter and watching people now. These days, I can't seem to stay awake whenever I am in a public transport(i don't know about private owned vehicles yet.hah). Like, I can just stand in the train and...sleep. what is wrong with me man! urrgghh...

I'm stoning. No, I'm not throwing stones at anything or anybody, I am just staring into space, not making out whatever I 'm seeing. (why did I even mention all that? sorry, random)

I think I might go back to updating this blog on a daily basis...awwwwww....ahahaha

Yay! They just said that I don't have to come back this Saturday..hooh...so G, the plans, the plans....we must continue with THE PLANS..!!! ok, singular, the plan. tsk...

It caught me unaware
confused with my own feelings
glad with the ambiguity
Sudden hope was given
and suddenly, ambiguity seems like a burden
maybe it's a jinx
Maybe it's a curse
leaving me unprotected,
fending for myself
and.I.hate.it.

The Place

There is this Place. A Place where I have always wanted to go. I have been there before. I don't know what attracts me to that Place. I used to look out the window when I travelled in the bus to school. Only in the last semester of my final year did I notice the Place. It was cramped at the very end of a cluster of shops along the road. There is a particular comfort and serenity in that Place. It just somehow reminds me of some old times... I wish to go there again sometime, but the place is not as accessible to my friends as it is to me.hmm...I might go on my own again soon...

Its quiet today. It rained. I like it when it rains. Cos, it'll get very chilly and everything is cool and calm. But I don't like it at times cos everything is wet and soggy and your shoes stink. I like it when it's hot out too. Cos, you can feel the warmth of the sun and I love sun bathing(note: not sun tanning, just immersing youself in the warmth of the sun). The day is slow.

hi hi ni hao

hi hi ni hao!! eat pao become siao!!!hahahaha..

ok, I did not eat any buns, so don't blame that innocent food for the cause of my irregular state of mind right now.hahahah..

Came to work at 8.30am...I WAS THE FIRST TO COME!! did nothing and no one came till 9+am. Before that, I was kind of wondering if I had come to the right office at the right day, cos no one was here. hehehe, I think today is 'Tuesday slack day' for the people here.LOL

I'm feeling high right now!!wee! god knows why. I feel like jumping up and down and rolling on the floor..wakakkaaa..ok.stop.

Graduation day is coming soon, just got my mom and maybe, sis to come along and witness my less- than-10 secs appearance on stage. After that, I officially have the diploma with me!hoorah!

Yesterday was an off day for me so I did some 'travelling' around before heading off to school for training. Ouh, talking about training, I think I'm like a walking tornado, I destroy practically anything I touch, like the umbrella(I swear it wasn't me who broke it first, i just made its bad condition worse only), and I hit people with the umbrella(sorry, it was unintentional, promise). After 3 years in dance, I'm still ungraceful and that's disgraceful..lol..can't help it if I'm not born a dancer. I did try...:S

Anyway, it looks like it's going to rain, I haven't been singing...have I...?hmm..hahah

ps: Najiha! meet up! I wanna know!!tell tell tell!!LOL

doink

Hmm, been quite sometime since I did the daily updates. hehe, worry not, those days are over...for now, that is.

I'm back to being happy neutral me. But I realised I'm starting to get a little bit*hy lately, don't know why. I'm repenting.aaaaahaha.

I've got to stARt saving and stop spending. Like what I told a friend of mine ' for a 20 year old, my bank account looks like a 6 year old's account, embarassing...ppfffrrtt-_-

the afternoon gets hot, and as I get over exposed to the sun, I grow darker. It's a scary thing, cos, it'll remind me of how I was during my childhood years and how dark I was during those times...haiz...sheesh, I'm close to whining, and further complains made would be whining already. ai yooo...

the eyelids get heavy
shake the head to awaken the half-asleep soul
the head nods down again
mind shouts in desperation to wake up
"WAKE UP"
but the brain, heart and eyes are acting in unison
and even after so much persistence
The eyes droop slowly till it closes and never opens again

ps: that wasn't a try for poetry, that was just random thoughts coming to me. I just felt like typing that up, so any criticism, go to the people's park and speak there, comments would not be entertained here.lol..chey2, fierce konon..huuh. boredom...someone kill it please.

indebted

Being indebted is the worst thing that a person could feel. People caught in this situation may do silly things for others, just because they think that since the other party has helped them in times of need, now it's their turn to do so. BUT, the thing is, even if you feel indebted, there is a line between right and wrong. This means that, you help looking at the circumstances. I'm not telling you to be choosy in what you return your favour as, but, if you are to help out in something illegal or, bad, then, that feeling of indebted should not be the catalyst in promoting your mind to help the other party. Rational, think rational.

I was almost caught in this situation. It wasn't as bad, the person always offered to help me in some way or another, but I had preferred to do things on my own first before getting help. Thankfully, I did not receive any help from the person, cause a few days back, the person asked me to get things which, I find easy to get. Just buy it from a convenience store or at the polyclininc. But the person insisted that I had to get it, and yes, while I was WORKING. It didn't make any sense. I mean, personal stuffs, NON-SERIOUS personal stuffs should be handled after work. So, I don't get it why the person had to be so persistent as to get my help during my working hour, when actually, that could be settled after I end work itself. That was when I really feel thankful that I had never succumbed to the person's willingness to help me. Cos, if not, i would have been too indebted and probably...haiz...people are weird you know.

rainy

Post for today can be a little crazy and random. Please do not get shocked. I know you won't anyway..lol

The wet days are back. But that also mean the sardine period comes alive again. What with the packed trains, although their frequency have been increased to a train every 1-2 minutes, it doesn't seem to lighten the situation. Not to mention, the different kinds of smell, that really 'perks' me up each day...

Sometimes, the train ride gets too tiring, or boring, so I just doze off...and...wake up with a jerk when I feel my knees give way.-_-

u can see a difference. A small smile, when I enter the train station. Close to 1/2 an hour later, u see me struggling to get out of the train, with a crumpled shirt, oily face, and most of all, a big, obvious frown.lol

i see them tying balloons to the chairs for the kids. Earlier on, a balloon just floated down and burst. I wonder what would happen if a kid sits on a chair and the balloon behind his chair bursts...I hope he doesn't get a shock of his life and becomes mentally disabled.

I used to think that pruning means to grow prunes. Now that I know what it is, it makes me feel stupid to think of it that way initially. LOL

the tension is setting in
You can just see the agitation and anger as the day comes closer
Anticipation to get it done and over with
Fury,mockings,fights,headaches....
Relationships get affected, some got closer, some, is starting to crack, others, totally screwed
Blunders. Unwanted, yet unavoidable
Remedy: Preempt
But we are not God. Can preempt, but not ensure
life gets boring.
You cannot be too happy, too sad.
You cannot talk too much, neither can you be too quiet
You cannot be pretty, or ugly
You cannot be too thankful
You cannot motivate, or demotivate
What can you do?
There is no freedom.
Life is a bunch of edited mess

thinking...

sleeping with a wet hair....I think that caused the flu - to - be. erk, now the throat hurts like...like u have gravel in it. haiz..

met up with the poly clique, part of them lah, me, wei chun, jocelyn and nurul. I MISS THEM SO MUCH!!! came from school, where I saw dayah 1st. discoverd a few things about herself.. funny I should say..aha, then her sidekick, adeebah, came too and both had to laugh when I told them I was heading to town for the 3rd time that week.-_-

And so, i went to meet wei chun, who initially got lost in the midst of meeting me and ended up at another side of the entrance, then we went to look for nurul's present and met up with jocelyn, even that, we were waiting for each other at different exits, so there were some miscommunication there.lol. finally, met the queen of kecoh, nurul, who, upon seeing jocelyn started beating each other up. those moments, are....haiz...i just miss those times when all those things were a daily motion.

went to swensens(again!), had food and all, then made our way home. Jocelyn said we should meet up at least once a mth, I thought we shouldn't meet that often, and they had to make a joke out of that too..=s but, yeah, I do hope we can meet up more.

life as it is

Sometimes the more friends you make, the more life stories you'll get to hear. Shocking stories, sad life experiences. You can sometimes hear regret as people account how their life had been in the past or anticipation as they plan for the future.

1) dad just passed away, have 5 siblings, isn't well educated, quitted school halfway

2) Elder sis is a les, 2nd sis, shortgun marriage same goes for elder brother

These 2 situations faced by the respective individuals brought about realization that I am, after all, lucky to be well fed and well educated. My parents have successfully instilled the right values and have provided my sisters and I with the right religious knowledge. Those people mentioned above may not have been at fault, it's just that their parents are ignorant about things like discipline and therefore, they were brought up in a 'loose' environment. Sad to say, they are Malays.

Now, I'm more careful and am giving second thoughts before I get into a relationship. Is my faith in God strong enough to help me abstain from those sins that couples are bound to make when the temptation sets in? Or, I would just be too blinded by love till I do not know how to differentiate right from wrong?And, and, would my boyfriend lead me away, or towards the right path? These are all the issues that I have to contemplate before I would be ready to get into a relationship. Call me choosy, call me uncool, but really, I can't afford to make life-long regrets. I've already had them in my life and let them remain at that. No more...

and today is a new tomorrow

OK, finally the computer here can be used and finally I'm free enough to be able to blog..hua hua hua...

Yesterday was a good day for me. NO NO NO NO NO NO.It's not bragging, it's just telling.whatever. Anyway, yesterday, I just did some work in the office before I had to accompany one of my colleagues to travel around the place. It was 'educational' cos she taught me a few things which means that...I LEARNT A FEW THINGS LAR-_-..lol..

Yeah, and after work, I went to meet my np JUNIOR, miss adilah adibah seng ket bte sardali. We went swensens in town, cos it was the nearest place frm my work place.lol. the food was good, but the entertainment from miss the-boy-who-cried-wolf, was better...i think i'm going to call her that from now on cos she alwaes...ALWAYS, lie to me. and she said she only does that to me...I must look pretty guillible for her to do that.lol

then wewenthomeandiwentonlineafterwhichisleptafterbathingandallandiwokeupthismorninghadbrunch AND NOW, here I am blogging just 27 mins after I start work.hahahha...

ps: there's a park ranger who sits on the bench and dozes off at certain points of time. I find it super funny cos he looks like he's in a trance and will wake up only when his head goes too far back on the seat behind him.lol...then he will look around,after 3 seconds(approx), he will doze off again, with the head slowly making a 180 degrees round, and he wakes up again and will repeat the whole procedure?haha..u should all see it!its comical!hahahaah...ok ok..pretend i am not looking..sheesh..

another day

yet another mundane and destressingly slow day for me. Had to do word search, no no, more like name search. After that task, i am positive that my eye pupils are slightly closer to one another..wooo..

kids today were ESPECIALLY noisy, right as I'm typing this, i can smell a strong scent(scent?or...stench!) of medicated oil, this is not the normal axe oil, it's like how our grannies smell when they put ointment on the bodies..I can bet you, one of the kids had dropped or rather, spilled oil on the floor lah..ai yoo..

AND, everytime they come here, they will find the picture of Mas Selamat very facinating. They will say his full name out, even take pictures of..his picture.tsk...now I know why they are called kids.LOL

I'm hungry. Very hungry. I especially try to remain that way today, some people know why...hehe, IT'S TIME TOOOOO RHAMMMBHHAA!!krak krak krak..prok prok prok..

btw...HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO NURUL FARIHAH!!!wooh!!20 years old already huh..time past fast eh?*winks*

im back

hihi!!

i'm back. soon i will be gone, but for now, i'm here..tsk-_-

Some people amuse me, and I amuse myself at times..haha, was taking the train to work early this morning, then, just as I was about to enter, (I was the last 2 to enter the train) the door just closed on me, crushing my bones and pushing me forward. suprisingly, my big bag and I managed to get into the train. I wondered," what would have happened if only part of me managed to enter the train? will the train just continue moving and have part of my body suspended in the air about 10 metres up? You may find it absurd and even silly, but, a few weeks ago, a person's umbrella was caught the same way and the handle of the umbrella actually stuck out of the train door. it was lucky that the person's fren, who was holding on to the umbrella initially, disentangled herself quickly and left the umbrella with her fren who managed to get into the train, if not, God know what would have happened to her..

So, as efficient S'pore's transport system could be, there may still be a time when their ignorance will cause uneventful circumstances to happen, and I for one, certainly hope that I would not be caught in such situations.

Reality of life scares me- alot, surprisingly, even after living on this earth for close to 2 decades, I still find it hard to adapt to living. No, I'm not talking about being COMFORTABLE living on earth, I'm just talking about making do with what I have, and this, is what I still find difficult..hmm...
