salam perantauan

lagi 2 minggu raya!
.
ah, salam perantauan. mase aku mula2 datang, i said to myself, wah, nak buat salam perantauan.sebab i dunno, macam best je kan dulu tengok gamba2 kat paper.adik2 aku tanye hari tu, “kakak xnk buat salam perantauan ke?” and before i answer, let me gave you my justifications for it first.
.
tapi kan, when i got here, i dont think im gonna do it. eh hahah ive just told u i dont wanna do it. anyway.
.
its because.i think:
.
1. its superficial and fake.come on la, skrang summer masuk winter(kat europe at least) apesal nak hantar gambar salji2 pakai baju tebal2?
.
2. ape niat kau nak hantar salam perantauan sebenarnya?kalau 20 30 tahun dulu(bapak, lame gile) xpe la kot since xde internet. kau nak hantar pada mak bapak and family kan?kan ke boleh email?boleh call diorang n mms ke video call ke?skype kan ade?xpun paling old school, hantar surat ngan gamba n kad raye ke ape ke. postal services are getting more advanced and efficient these days kan. the point is, nak bagi mak bapak tengok ke nak bagi satu dunia(n i gave satu dunia cause its uploaded in the net as well.nice.)
.
3. ala macam la u all xbalik msia once or twice when you are still studying kan, macam la xjumpa family.okay kalau xbalik xape. but i think its more suitable for those who work abroad, and couldnt find any means to go back home during raya. and when i mean abroad its countries other than indo or s’pore, or anywhere near.
.
4. hmmm ada banyak lagi, tapi akan menyentuh isu sensitive so i better close my case right now.
.
so there you go.
.
i wont do it.
.
hah kalau tetiba ade gamba aku cane????ngahahaha
.
.
.
.
kalau boleh nak balik raye sbb tahun ni ade addition kat fmly aku iaitu slr(what happened to youths these days, agung2 kan kamera besar?haih).kepada sesapa yg berkenaan, sila email gamba raya.

dissertation submission is on the 21st of sept, and raya could be the day after.oh oh oh

puasa

i’ve been having dreams about exams lately. and i think it has got to do with the nearing date of dissertation submission(which means our study term is about to end n we have to go back to Msia and face depressing normal life back!haha drama.).

.

the other day, i dreamt about being late to an SPM paper.

.

just tonight i dreamt about finishing SPM.

.

hey betul ke harga minyak naik?really?even during merdeka?

.

selamat berbuka all, God if only i can get my hands on some tepung pelita, or the scruptious bread pudding with custard sauce(like the ones that I used to buy when I was an undergrad student), Id feel muccccccchhhhh better!

.

okay will stop whining now.

life partner

Went to a nisfu syaaban function just now and took this pic(?!), sebab lambat 5 minit n terpaksa duk kat tangga.isk. and, hey, siape kata blajar abroad activities are packed with partying and socializing?pandai2 la balance beb. Ni kan antara masa2 yg elok untuk berdoa.

Lagi2 kami ni, minta dipermudahkan dan diberkati ^^

and, with me being bombarded with tons of wedding/tunang pics recently, it got me thinking of the words told by a really close friend of mine the other day.

sure we have our families now. and our friends. but as we grow older, our parents may go, our siblings will get married and have their own life, and our kids will leave us as they, too, will have their own families…same goes for our friends.

and you’ve only got your partner, because, ideally, your partner is the one who you would be spending the rest of your lifetime with.

and yes, as we grow older, people will leave.

God, it got me thinking, seriously.

Am i not right?

PS: entry klaka x ada sebab lately ive been wayyyyy too serious.

my relationship with fb.

ive been developing a hate-hate relationship with fb.

specifically, on the tagging pics feauture.

*

*

why?

for one, people can post unflattering pics of yourself AND tag u AND the whole world can see your bulging tummy/ugly angle

then, people can post controversial pics of yourself with other people AND the whole world can see it AND they can judge you.

and, these pics can ruin your relationship, or worse, marriage.

i wonder why some can be soo daring posting pics of them with their partners(married or not) with questionable poses in questionable place with questionable attires.hm.

*

*

*

ah.

feel like closing my stupid fb  acc.

saying sorry.

haha emo.tertipu kau.

ive been listening to this non stop for the past 2 days.

other versions are available, but this is the best.

.

.

.

oh my G am I turning into those 20-somethings that have stopped listening to hip radio stations and switching to more ‘mature’ radio station like mix fm or whathever?and eventually will switch to  more un-hip radio stations like (no offense)muzik fm or radio rtm(wujud ke????), and eventually listen to those radio stations with ‘ceramah motivasi’ every morning everytime i send my kids off to school??!!

sumpah aku rase tua.

btw bau laksa yang bertempiaran di sekitar rumah aku doesnt make things better sebab aku xleh makan sebab laksa tu utk guests dan bukan untuk aku.

My latest 5

1. I have a feeling that an 8-year-old thing that i have with somebody is about to end. we are better off without eachother, and its time. not happy about it, not sad either, but ive been holding it for too long now.

2. I have develop a sudden interest in baking for the last few months; been baking everything from cheesecakes to cupcakes.

3. Just discovered that Im really, really garang.

4. Having a hard time going back to my sleeping late, waking up late habit since i had the last 10 days waking up n sleeping early to entertain my 2 brothers who came here for holiday. I quote:

“Kakak..kitorang dah samai tanahair..lepas ni kakak boleh tido dgn lena”

leh x macam tu?????

5. Siape  nak tgk gambar?ngeh3

macam gamba kawen pun ade.

aku amik gamba kau, kau amik gamba aku.

okay2 dah my 2 textbooks are beckoning.

the devil wears _____(fill in the blanks)

Exactly a year ago, my life felt a trap; i made a promise to a devil and i was paying for my foolishness very very dearly.

and i meant dearly.

i was andy in devil wears prada, because i was in the printing/journalism industry, and my boss is the devil haha.

okay before some ppl get some wrong idea, i came back to my writing job after a brief stint as a tutor/lecturer in a secluded town in johor(mase tu sombong gile, xmo duk kampung2, nah ambek kau.). i came back as my previous boss devil wanted, and promised her that id work for her for another 6 mths.

*flashback when i said i wanted to resign to take the tutor/lecturer job*

“Pn Munah(bukan nama sebenar), Id like to request a resignation, ive just offered a job i couldnt say no to.”

“What, Cik Vivi…nevermind, its a good job, i know, but if uwould have stayed,we plan to bring you with us to Australia in August”

*

APE AUSTRALIA???ARGH XKIRE, NK BRENTI GAK NO MATTER HOW MUCH I LOVE WHAT I WAS DOING

*

*

when i came back to work for her, everything seemed to be changing; I was no longer her favourite, and was given loads n loads of work, things that i wasnt paid to do, wont elaborate on anything, let me keep them to myself  maybe im gonna tell u guys someday haha

*

*

a few weeks ago, i went to a job interview in Ldn. n guess who i bumped into?

Pn Munah.

“Pn Munah!!”

“Oh my God, Cik Vivi, what r u doing here?”

interview la, duh!

“Ah, nothing, interviews Pn Munah, gotta find a job u know.”

“Ah yes yes”

We had a short conversation, and at the same time, flashbacks of scenes that have happened a year back emerged in my head.

naik turun taxi, naik turun lrt/putra/komuter, naik turun bas  in my 3.5 inch heels, sometimes in the rain, with a load of mock magazines in my hand from the printers in haunted bangsar area, or from kelana jaya.

or from a long ride from malacca/bangi/subang etc.

it was a year ago, and it was bittersweet but i have better judgements now, ive learnt the hard way.

*

*

thank God Ive walked out of it.

*

*

*

*got another offer from the interview that i went, i think id be taking it, n dont wanna look back*

*

*

oh yes, kali ni ade gambar

BE.serene and calm in one hand, busy and messy in another.

*ptown, ull get the job, stay optimistic alright.*

of mat salehs and us

Memang agak ramai mat saleh kurang didikan agama, dan hidup mereka agak bebas.

kita lebih mementingkan agama, dan pergaulan kita(ehem2, most of us anyway) lebih restricted.

tapi satu aku suka, diorang outspoken dan x simpan ape2.

if theres any misunderstanding, they would get into a fight, brawl or whatever and the argument would be heated.

but tomorrow they will let it go, and go to bars and drink beer together.

kita?

kalau sakit hati, kita simpan, kita dendam.

aku rase kita lagi berdosa.
