dear ying,

blogging from malaysia for the first time..
arrived on the 24th..last tuesday
was really2 busy few days before balik here.. kemas la, byebye sana sini.. last visit here n there.. dont think i'll be going back to australia in the near future.. satu sebab dah habis roundlah jugak.. satu lagi sebab blacklisted.. left my bill happily with a 3 digit outstanding sum.. hehe..selamba.. thought of paying innitially, then they screwed up..overcharged me for no reason..apa lagi.. (alasan..) and since papa pun green light je.. oh well

betulla.. if i dont blog immediately, i tend to forget stuff easily..
all i could remember of my last days in brisbane was my graduation day, my final shopping day and the day doc cried..

i should go into detail about what i've indulged myself in for the past week.. i dont think such reminder is necessary.. the bill will arrive soon..and oh..how i hope i wont be home for that..
well anyway.. the byebye session.. i think shaz was affected by the departure.. which made me n hetz feel kinda heartless.. ok, so maybe hetz is coming back.. but me.. yg confirm nak balik kawin gerenti tak nak dtg balik ni.. i feel sad, no doubt.. i'll miss jogging and walking thru malls alone..without having eyes engaged on me..takdela perasan macam aku ni bagus sangat.. but that's it with malaysians.. tak kisah la org mcm mana...stare..stare..(just a week back and i'm extremely irritated by this kind of gestures from the malaysian males.. malays to be exact.. sorry if i offend anyone) i'll miss (and already missing) the laid back lifestyle.. the friendly road traffic.. but more than anything i miss malaysia so bad..so all these things kira minor..
i was surprised i didnt shed a tear pun before leaving..
was almost actually, that night when doc pun nangis.. played us a few soapy songs.. then bid farewell... hetz was in tears... doc pun sikit2..
best woo brisbane... rasa macam adult pulak kat sana ( i hope i am one dah la pun) everything do independantly.. money n spending.. since i received fix on monthly basis.. mcm dapat gaji keje.. life, memang free gila.. but sebab free sgt2la.. i think i tend to weigh wat's good n wat's bad myself.. sebab kalau nak buat apa2.. confirm parents wont be there to witness n say no.. so it's all up to me, and of course, when u're alone, jauh.. u cant help thinking about everything under the sky.. in a way, i learn a lot there.. and of course as all my other alma maters.. i wont forget sunny brissie for sure..

and now balik..
been having problem with jazmi (already)..dunnolah how..
called win last night.. almost cried.. the only reason i ever cry to him is always because of studies or about me .. now it's about a guy.. malulah pulak..so..contain jelah..
i dunnolah wat's happening with me..
too twisted to think..
called jazmi early morning today.. blurted out the words..'can we just be frens'.. bodoh bangang punya sentence and i've used it just now..i really think i should meet him tomorrow.. face to face, tell him nicely..
tonight.. try to talk to papa n mama..
hmm..
wat am i saying..
see..typing it send me twisted already..

i'll continue later
ta!

dear ying

just got back from gold coast..
feeling rather tired and worn out
woke up at 5.30 just now since papa n mama's tour will be leaving for the airport at 7
they suggested that i stay on and check out on my own..but since my stay there was actually 'illegal' (tumpang tour booking)..i'd rather not.. takut terlajak then all of us will be in trouble..yadayadayada..

last nite was spent browsing aroung pacific fair..the biggest shopping mall here, i guess.. cause it's more huge than others that i've seen before..and considering i've been to quite a sum here..i think my assumption is valid.. hey! it's bigger than the shopping mall/arcade in the brisbane city itself!
anyway, was just browsing around with mama and picking up wat's cool n wat's not... konon..
thought wanna buy some stuff but really was not into it..
swimming suit, kasut... necessary stuff.. : )
so we went to this shop.. picking up dresses in our sizes.. then try sama2..
which is so cool since i can actually wear the same size dengan mama now..
she was impressed at my achievement in reducing the gap..hehee
should have bought the dress..dahlah it's cheap.. and the flow of the dress.. like it was tailored for me.. : )
maybe later, on sunday, balik from city
the we had kebab.. and ice cream..
me..and them pampering me like a baby ..ehehe..
we stayed a while to watch people..mostly youngsters walking by.. or shall i say flaunting by..
talked a little about clubbing.. and its happening.. well.. they've really asked at the wrong info counterlah iif they wanna know about clubbing..macamla aku clubbing sgt..

last 2 days was tiring..
went crabbing.. fishing.. cruising.. then this beeworld..tea tree oit plantation.. sheep shearing n sheep racing performance.. everything..in one day...
a day before that was my graduation day..
all went well.. but somehow it felt very plain..
maybe sebab grad sini..if i were to grad in malaysian.. almost everybody doing my course would be familiar..and frenly..or at least chattable..
ni semua muka familiar.. but senyum2 jelah.. kalau nasib baik..
in the end it's the 3 of us jugak..hmm..
but doc gave us all a pleasant surprise..
first he came with a bouquet of flower for each on of us b4 the ceremony...
then after the ceremony.. he gave us a gift each..and i got a handbag..which matches my shoes perfectly!
pictures here, picstures there..
then habis..
and that's my degree..

lepas the ceremony we went to LDV for a round of pasta..which is nothing special..but sebab lapar gila..makan dgn bestnyalah jugak..
after that balik rumah kemas brg then off to gold coast again..round2 brisbane n stopped for pancake on the way..

ni still letih..
shaz call, kak shima n kak zarina ajak makan Nandos..
malas gila sebenarnya..but since dunno whenlah jumpa lagi ni.. ikut jelah..
afterall ade kereta today.. so memang definitely no excuse..
been driving the car for 3 days only n i'm sick of driving already.. and ni baru drive in brisbane.. kalau balik drive in the big great KL traffic..ok.ok..enuff

think sempat tido lagi ni..
bangun pukul 2.30..
amik shaz kat city..
malasnya nak gi... kalau gi kebab westend ke.. city ke.. takde hal lagi kot..
aahhh..
this is wat i call social responsibility..
ish..teruknya aku..
org nak balik ni lah farewell sana sini..balik msia tak gerenti jumpa lagi..
just not in the mood now i guess..

oh well
better go now..

ta!

dear ying,

papa n mama will be arriving tomorrow.. and graduation will be the day after..
finally...
ben and nabil has also graduated..
those in melbourne will be having their ceremony on the same day as us..
hope the sydney guys will be doing fine too..
alhamdulillah..finally, everybody made it.

esok kena pick up car at 10.30, then maybe shoot off to gold coast straight..
or maybe balik dulu.. call papa, check dia kat mana..
hoping to join them in harbour town.. the factory outlets paradise..eehehhe..so better meet papa there lah...for the obvious reason.
or else just jumpa at marriot when they've checked in..
malam nak makan mana aa..haaa..lega...supply dah sampai
am really2 broke now..

spent the whole day packing stuff.. ee..banyaknya barang.. banyaknya kasut..banyaknya handbag... turning into a real (typical) girl now..
packed one bag to sent thru papa n mama..
i think i dont have to add another shipment thru lizz la kot..

last nite spend the day with shaz, hetz, doc n abg jo..
doc cooked for us.. his mutabak n ayam masak merah.. and me n hetz cook nasi minyak.. trytesttengok..jadi!
later we went to freestyle.. this chic n happening ice cream place.. only to find it's closed!..
so biasala... coffee club..since La Dolce Vita is full..as always..

a day before that, we went to Izaty n Kak shima's open house.. one after another..imagine laksa penang then laksa johor... then later at night watched Ghost Ship with doc, shaz, hetz n abg jo..had to pay full fare for it..darn!!..the story.. oklah.. but not worth my $13.20..that's for sure..
after movie, doc sent us back.. and me.. to my huge empty dark house..
cant believe it i've to spend the nite alone.. i mean in this empty house..
actually..semalam pun..
not too bad since i've a tv in my room.. and the movies..SBS..good international movie..as always..gonna miss them

today non balik from melbourne ...with his fren..
mimi (my new aussie housemate) is also back..
i spot her frying some red chillies and then blending them to make some paste (guna lesung pulak tu!) ... some fierce taste bud.. for an aussie..

ben called a few times today, asking about shipment.. mcm seronok je bunyi nak balik..
ah, who wouldnt be
semalam called abg iwan.. just to inform i'm still alive n will be back next week.. he was surprise.. maybe sebab didnt expect i'd call after hmmm 7 months??..
well, he's a good contact, so y not..call..sekali sekala... he still remember my house phone in kl..by heart!
called win before that.. he's in jolly good mood.. despite the recent operation..
he'll be leaving for kkinabalu next week.. talk about perfect timing..
cant blame him.. bukan dia arrange..
some things may have change.. but win n me.. i'd say we're still cool.. maybe both has grown older..(maybe..ehehe) but i still like having 'clever' conversations with him..
basically still enjoy having him aroundlah.. and one thing i cant wait to go back to is.. his company..
win, if u're reading.. stop smiling.. and shut up!

called jazmi after that.. but he's busy entertaining his fren..
guys stuff.. boys nite out.. wateva..
was too sleepy to 'claim' him from his frens anyway..

cantwaitcantwait to go back!

maybe stories about perth later..
in fact, i'll add some pics of it when my pc dah ok..

ta!
