another day..

i started my 1st mandarin class last night!..i thought it was just gonna be me, nadz and aidil. turned out kak tini pon ade..it was fun..at least the guy tutoring us was..hehe..wel, so far so good..pronouncing the words was not much of a prob. thank god we dun have to learn writing the characters..it was kinda hellish just looking at the guy writing it on the board! he said that it wud at least take us 2 years to learn writing wohoho..so yeah, i learnt TEN mandarin sentences already! yippee!!


nways, yesterday ummi called. she said that baby nanim got a new book. "Little Animals". and now, whenever people say ,

'how does a tiger sound like?',

she'll go 'auuum..'

and when u say to her 'cow?'

she'll go, 'moooo'

and when asked, 'cat?'

she'll go, 'nyiaow..'


and i had to listen to all that thru the phone only..
i really cant wait to go back..holidays! come!! come closer!!

catching up..

Has anyone ever tried eating peanut butter spread with corn flakes? It's soon yummy. Believe me. I discovered this new recipe back when I was in PJ hehehe.. it's pretty much like any other ordinary peanut butter sandwich. Just spread peanut butter (tastier if it's the chunky spreads) on ur favorite bread, and then, just spread out on top it not-so-crushed corn flakes..(the one that we all have for our breakfast loh)..and eat it any way u like..nyum nyum.. I remembered making so many sandwiches and insisting my roommates, my gurlfrens and all to eat it the way I like it and hehe, they all loved it! I told u it's good. Keh2..


Why am I talking bout food eh? Coz I just found out a new habit of mine in making full use of the chilli sauces in packets that I collect from McD, BK and etc..

u see, i like chilli sauce. and I like potato chips. Am talking bout Mr. Potato Chips. The ones in the cans..(aloh, yg iklan Aidid n Norzie tuh..) buy the original flavored ones, and nyum2, dip it in chilli sauce! Serious I tell u sodap! Lagi2 if u eat it with McD’s sauces. The best sauce-in-packets ever..( I dun buy McDs but my frens do, so when they buy, they take xtras for me heheh) and this habit has also been spread to the people around me. I got my roomies and my next door neighbor starting on eat-crisps-with-sauce party..another way to eat those crisps; dip it in Campbell's mushroom soups..also sodap loh..try ler.
.sungguh tak rugi..but then, ikut taste jugak..


I miss home la..


***************************************



syifa' messaged me earlier in the evening.

"akak tasnim dah beli kasut.
Nanti akak balik, nanim dah bole jalan"


Huhu..she bought her 1st pair of shoes; without me! I wonder what kind of shoes she bought. I bet u she got the squeaky-noise-making kind. Syifa' has been eyeing that kinda shoes since forever for baby nanim..i cant wait to go back for cuti raya haji..i miss everyone at home. Ummi said abah made some changes in the living room and they made up a new family den..sigh..and plus, ummi got my room a new bed..err..let me rephrase that; not my room but syifa's..*mood changes for a second*

anyhow, I cant wait to go back. And btw, whoever nak ikut I balik JB, kene naik bas kat jln Duta jugak! Ur rite I'm not going to pudu! Nak balik..huhu..


Next week, Monday's also a holiday..sigh..thank god I got ktkn. But then, I thought of going to mak dutt's..i haven't visited her (or rather, crash in her place) ever since sem start..


*****************************************



it's very heartwarming and really touching when someone comes up to u and say,
"I just want to say that I
m really happy that I met u"
or,
"it's really nice to get to know u"
and most of all, when someone expresses their appreciation of our existence. We all get compliments and good wishes everyday in our lives. Be it, compliments on how good we look in that shoes, in that dress, what a good job we did, or even just a simple "have a good day!" wishes and so, I was very startled and surprised at how touched I was when a fren of mine who I got to know better recently, said "it's really nice to meet you ryhn"..i was taken aback. Of course, in a good way loh. It really made my week u know. As if I've never ever gotten nice words from anyone!


And also, when people believe that they were placed where they were because they're meant to meet you! These kinda situations that I went thru in the past two weeks got me beaming all over. My heart seems to flutter all over, in and out of its place! So people, spare a minute, if not few seconds, to make someone's day/ week by giving sincere compliments or wishes! laytah!

today..

its christmas holidays..everyone left for home coz hols' extended til monday..and me? here i am, struggling to stay connected to the college's network because the wireless system here is really BAD!! urgh..marah sungguh..


nways, life's been good..been bz..been fun..definitely tiring..pkn's coming up. ktkn's also coming up.now i'm officially involved with the international affairs unit. then there's k-care and stuff..
i'm kinda glad that i'm very much occupied most of the time bcoz, i'm not the kinda gurl who can sit still, quietly for too long..tho i complain a lot at times, i have to admit that i'm liking life the way it is..after all, Allah has said that He won't burden us with things that we can't bear or handle..well here i am..and not to ferget the fact that, regardless of the bz life, i still get to spend time to balik tido time tghari in between classes (haha..thanx to maz n her kelly), and that i still have the time to spend an hour or two with my girlfrens hanging out outside campus..



selingan!:

a cat delivered its babiES under the econz' cafe's table some time ago. i witnessed it! not the delivering time loh..just the chaos and all. it was gross. we heard some gurls shrieking and it turned out that they were grossed out by the sight of a cat 'beranak' at their feet..major gross.who wouldn't eh? eiieew..



nways..hmm..gladly, i've been talking a lot to sue..yeah..and i think its good for my health hehe..(note: thnx to the wireless system which is very moody that i have to spend my late nytes paying to the colege's CC..heck, i dun mind so anyways..) in case ur reading this sue, i btol kangen sama kamu..nggak aku dustai kamu..pulang lah kembali ke tanah air mu pantas!


ohmigod, iman's been back in mesia for more than a month and i havent been able to fix time to meet up with her yet! huhu..what a bad gurlfren i am..sigh..sungguh i've been trying hard to go see her but time's very kedekut with me u kno..haih..in case ur reading this iman, after raya haji ye! tunggu pkn n ktkn over n done with..i promise i'll go and stay at ur place at leastonce before u balik! kamu nggak marah sama saya kaaaan...*hugs to iman* gtg..battery's running low! laytah!

my home sweet home

i drew myself a home, and gowd..the analysis just shur hits and slaps me in teh face..meB its just a coincidence..but heck..it shur got me thinking..and hey, even if when anyone of u gets the same analysis-result, well, i'm already lost in my thoughts..


Based on your drawing and the 10 answers you gave this is a summary of your personality:



You are sensitive and indecisive at times. You are good at making friends and when the joyful moment arrives, you make the most out of it. You will avoid being alone and seek the company of others whenever possible. You love excitement and create it wherever you go. Once you have a problem, you need a friend with you. Your life is always full of changes.

>>hmm..i hate being alone altho a lot of times, i kinda prefer to be alone..excitement?changes? tell me about it..



When it comes to love, you shut yourself off. It's difficult to win your heart because you have decided to keep your feelings deep inside. You have a strong personality and you like to command, influence and control people.

>>haha..again..hmm..no comments...



You added a flower into your drawing. The flower signifies that you long for love. It also safe to say that others don't see you as a flirt. You don't think much about yourself.

opkos everyone long for love..apa daa..not flirtious?kehkeh..lol..thank u analysis..



well..whadya say..
try for urself..its kinda fun..drawing a house..serious rase mcm time tadika..hehe..

today was funny and fun..woke up this morning to a message informing that krj sepang's gonna drop by on their way to janda baik..kinda like an explorace, minus the 'race' (so makcik aida said hehe) they were so said to arrive round 1130 so i still have time to wrap kak alya's present..heh..i totally forgot taht i have to pass it to kaled. i was so worried he's left for jb already. what's worse was that i forgot that kak masyitah will also be going back to jb so i could just pass it to her..prolly coz i was talking to kaled the other day..nways, so yeah,
i had to wrap the present..i didnt wanna wrap it the usual way so with an idea in my head, i ran (literally, yes i did) and crashed in luB's room hehe.. (hmm..come to think of it, she wasnt feeling well and she was reading..i had disturbed her..sorry luB..) nways..so there we were looking at a kotak contoh, working our brain to figure out how to wrap the present the same way haha..it was a sight..tu yg luB kate, kalau org masuk n saw us staring at the bag musti ingat us gila ke aper haha..well, we were smart enuff to figure out and solve the prob hehe..it felt great u know, haha..it was funny..duduk, bangun, pusing2, with the glue, selotape and stuff hehe..thnx Lub..a great morning for me..



later went to AIKOL cafe and met up kak aini n k.msyth..passed the hadiah and ran to babush..nak jumpe kak bie n k.ecah..i was kinda late and was running and rushing around..my cheeks felt like it was burning..serious..ntah nape ntah..well..there was two lil kids and puas lah melayan derang..bawak pusing2 uia..then later when the participants arrived. took the m to buy luch at HS cafe and later ate at the mosque area..it was fun..towards the end there was only me n kak bie..kak sarah was leaving for melaka n kak aisyah left for her aunt's. i was happy and glad i was with kak bie..we did some catching up..hmm..and now..i'm lost in my thoughts..(i pon pening gak kak bie..i feel u gurl! hehe) ..lost in my thoughts..of life..people..and how confusing things can be..sigh..laytah

i pray for you happiness..

I Pray For You Happiness..



I'm happy for you

That you're doing fine and that, things seems to go your way.

I'm happy for you

That the world know you; of you and your success.

I'm happy for you

That you have friends to keep you company.

To bring smiles and laughter when you're feeling down,

To brighten up your day when it seems dull and gloomy.



I'm happier that you chose to remain friends with me

Regardless of how I treated you before.

That you effortlessly bring a smile to my face when I'm feeling sad.

That you listen to my rants and make me feel heard.

That you talk to me and allow me to listen and feel trusted.

That you make me smile when you say 'keep in touch',

'keep me posted' or ask me 'how you been doing?';

Dun matter whether you really meant it or not..



Always I've prayed and never have I tended to stop,

That God will continue to bestow His love and shower His blessings,

That He'll watch over you and protect you.

May your prayers be answered, your needs be fulfilled.

I pray you'll find friends that'll help and guide you,

Be with you through thick and thin.

I pray God's words and promises touch your heart.

Let it be that God's nur and hidayah seep into your heart; for always.

Let it be that you'll touch the hearts of those,

Whose lives you walk into, as you did to mine.

Most importantly, I pray to God,

That I'll never stop praying for you.



There's no need for you to know,

That I feel for you when I hear of your faults and mistakes,

Making me pray harder to improve myself,

So God'll grant my prayers for you ;

That I am overwhelmed we're still friends

So much, I pray we'll remain this way ;

That when I think of what we had,

Knowing there'll never be a second chance,

Knowing that I could never turn back time ;

I pray you'll forgive me,

And I hope I haven't left you scarred ;

That I wasn't the reason you left without bidding farewell

However glad I am now you're back..



So many questions were left unanswered.

As much as it haunts me, I know

That some things are better left unknown

So as not to ruin of what's today..



For what we had, and what we never had,

It matters to me, do know that

I've stayed, and that you have my back

Before, today, and God willing tomorrow onwards

That I'll be here, as a friend..



For what you've been through,

I'm happy you discovered the world you're living in now,

For better or worse..

And for her,

I'm happy you've found one who thinks the world of you..


You, who I call a friend,

I pray for you happiness..

i want to balik

Its 231am and I can't sleep yet.. I have no class tomorrow and Monday's holiday and yes, I cannot go back to Jb..(I will not stop membebel bout not being able to go back..) I could go back to b.antarabangsa but..hmm..asyik balik sane je..mcm menyebok lah plak..segan.haha..sejak bile lah plak aku pandai segan2 ni..marah my aunty..(tunggu duha pandai drive bole amek me hehe..read that duha *tee hee*)


Fara went home (which was unplanned. Long story there. full stop) and so me, maz and widad were left to 'enjoy' ourselves at the library after isya'. Nibah went back to kak yung's place. Later we went out for some decaf hazelnut (loud nyummy here) and somehow, sumtime between the library and the coffee widad got a phone call which got
us all emotional..(both positively and negatively) even the ice cream did not manage to cool maz down..she was mad..we were more like upset lah..minus the details, we got back to college (definitely within the curfew hours nak avoid pakcik-rajin-check-car-sticker punye pasal) pastu guling2 crammed up kat katil maz..we read Cleo. Haha. No comment..


Cleo could be very entertaining a lot of times. But in general, its just a magazine that urges and influences one to go crazy shopping. Here's an illustration.

A girl whose-name-must-not-mentioned-but-definitely-other-than-ryhn was leafing through the pages of the latest Cleo and spotted an ad on this new product from Crabtree & Evelyn. She now cannot stop thinking about the product and is constantly caught planning her way to get to any one of the outlet asap which probably be this coming weekend. Avid mag readers will get the picture clearly.



Its also all about advertisements. Ya Allah..macam 2/3 of the mag was only iklan je..ehniways, yeah, me, maz and widad tergolek2..we took turn reading some stuff outloud (except for widad coz she's got something in her throat and it hurts her to talk so she just did the listening hehhe)
haha..macam bdak skolah buat reading group. One of the articles that caught our interest tonight (or rather, last night) was an article about being grown ups. Among the few many (huh..confuse) points given was :
>>You check out the labels of stuff before you actually buy them.

>>You have to pay for insurance, phone bills and other bills

>>Your idea of relaxation before bed is a mug of hot cocoa.

(at the moment this point was read, I was holding on to my large mug of cocoa. And I do, before I sleep drink hot cocoa..whaa..we ended up laughing to ourselves and all the other points. In fact, we added some new points which we made up ourselves tee hee..



Yawn..i'm sleepy now..its soo's the milk in the hot cocoa..gnyte..laytah

cool page..alhamdulillah...

i'm right now in the library..being cautious coz i now kno that there's a 'bug' around me here in iiu

(to mr.champion-guy..ur now officially making me be really extra cautious and conscious too)


class was at 8am and went for breakfast after that and til 12 i have no class. tutorials will not start til we finish our first topic (prolly) and yeah, here i am at the library, catching up with stuff..going thru mails that i haven't got the chance to read..that spesifically goes to PaLS's milis (ya ampuun)..k-Care too..(i am very curious and am in question as to why it's so quite! as if everyone has deserted it altogether..hullo, its a new profile..) i guess everyone's bz with PEKAN and stuff..but heck..it shudnt be as quite as it is..there's been no 'new activity' as stated on the page everytime i checked it. no new mails from the group in my inbox..(being positive, -as Seth would say- meB they got lost in the mails; or rather, the wires..) even if i were to write so as to at least start a discussion or what ever..i have no idea what to say or talk about! really i dont..and i have been discussing with aidil bout k-Care and what's going on now and we both end up with same conclusion..the conclusion of 'i have no idea..sigh..' ehniways..



well yeah, back to the PaLS milis (that some may say i have abandoned or deserted, which in reality, nevvaa na'ah) i was reading kak alya's experience with the interfaith stuff (which is sooo cool..gurl i salute you..) and she recommended this website Maniac Muslim. at one reading the title sounds..weird..sounds like some lunatics on the loose or sumthing but when i checked it out..i feel so..out of the world. kinda stupit and ignorance jugakla..i mean, i never knew of those kinda sites..and they're so cool..i love the articles..and the best thing is that, the site discusses and talks about real stuff. real issues..things that we can relate to..its just so cool..and i'm definitely addicted to that site now..check it out urself..i've linked my page to it..



the credit goes to kak alya for introducing me (thru PaLS' milis) to that page..its fun to read the articles and views and stuff..my favourites are his illustrations on matters and problems..



p/s: kak alya, nanti dah kawen..plz dun stop writing kay? hugs for u on your wedding!
