Presentation Day. Six days to fly back home.

I triggered my cousin’s anger at 1am today, sorry cuzzie but I need it for the presentation at 8am today. After setting up irritation in my cousin’s head, I went straight to bed and yea… I snored. At around 6.50pm aunty woke me up to get ready to send the girls to school. I wasn’t aware that it’s already 6.50pm but I managed to ask Daniel what time was it. When he said it’s 10 minutes before 7, I was like “GIRLS! COME ON! I GOT A PRESENTATION AT 8 FOR GOD’S SAKE!” so they did. Worried that I would be late (which I apparently did), I almost forgot the way to Linda’s school.

I stamped on the paddle rapidly so that I could reach their school as quick as I could, the traffic was fine but it was slow. I couldn’t remember much how long it took to send them all to school, not mentioning Ana’s as well. Then I reached home at 7.40 something and I prepared myself hastily.

There was a time when I grabbed my belt to put it on around my waist, and when I clicked it together, one of the buttons was gone. I do have another belt but I remembered my brother took it from me the other day when he’s going back to his house. I didn’t give much thought about that thing though. I remember I flung it away somewhere I couldn’t recall, and then got ready for college. I ran out of the house with my loosen jeans and with my Psych shirt to the bus stop. Of course it’s impossible for me to wait for a train because the time already shows that it’s almost eight, several more minutes and my turn to present my proposal.

I waited for like 10 minutes for a single cab to show up. I hopped on wishing that the road is smooth. When we left Pantai Dalam, suddenly I saw cars LINED UP like hell who knows… IT’S JAMMED!!!!! I don’t even have the nerve to look at the road; I closed my eyes and prayed that it would get better. Then suddenly the taxi driver turned the car to the left, right, left leeeeeeeeeeeeeeft, and to my astonishment, he managed to get me to Jalan Maarof and for those who don’t know where on earth is Jalan Maarof, it’s a road that is located almost to my college. I looked at the time, it’s 8.20am.

We reached college at around 8.25am and the fare was like RM8.10. I planned to give him the whole RM10 note because I was sooo late and thinking that waiting for the change would waste my time, but then I didn’t. I remember the advise from the elders . Nasihat ibubapa,”nak…kalau di tempat orang, belajar la berjimat yah” (supaya sampai Sabah ada duit pigi clubbing!) Nguah nguah nguah!!!.

I went in to the class, and Ms. Elaine gave me the ‘Haiye…’ face. “Sorry Elaine, just now I was….” Then she interrupted “I don’t wanna hear anything. You’re the last one to present.” Then OK lah… This Zimbabwean guy sat beside me (or I did? Hurmm…) he asked me where did I get the marking form, and I said it was from the course outline. He wanted to pinjam it and go photocopy so I said ok no prob. It was so tensed watching all the presentations from the candidates. I saw ‘multitasking’, ’platinum racquet’, “Greenest building on Earth” and so on *English pleeaaassseeee. Then when I think of mine, I remember ‘volunteer’, ‘psychologist’, ‘home’, ‘education’ silly words you can see painted on street walls. I guess I could’ve done better.

Then it was my turn. Some problems with my computer, I can’t connect to the LCD or is it, White screen board? I don’t even wanna remember. So The Zimbabwean went first, he presented his proposal in like 1minute and quarter. I tried cooling myself down, and there I was. Eyes were set on me~~ Woooooooo~~ Waaarrrghhh~~ Urggghh~~~ Na, I managed to recover my fear. I gave them a nice and comical start, and I was surprised that they really laugh on my weird act. I think I projected the loudest voice along the presentation.

“Good morning everyone, Mr. Bill Gates thank you so much for coming today. Fellow candidates. My name is blab la blab, 20 years old and from Sabah. I am currently studying in HUC taking bachelor of blab la blab…”.“Because education nowadays, Erm (giving the ‘hish!’ expression) important!”, “I don’t wanna talk about why should you pick me, because I am representing the world, not myself”. “I don’t wanna be like someone who’s watching Bersamamu and say uh, I hope I can do something to help! And then went back to sleep, snore” and again, THEY LAUGHED!

Then the moment of truth comes, Q&A session! Damn it, I’ve always hated this session since FOREVER! But then, questions only came from one guy. I managed to cut the question and tried answering it before he actually finishes off his question. All his 3 questions were answered directly without any ‘urm…,’ ‘Err…,’ ’Urghh..wait’. Damn I am so good in making up spontaneous answers *though it’s not accurately accurate LOL!. Hahaha! Sorry dude! But Chika, I managed to retrieve your dignity! LOL! Apparently, it was the same guy that asked Chika so many questions the other day and I made him look bad, oh what a bitchy *excuse the language act.

After I’m done with the presentation, and forgetting to thank the guy that lent me his computer (sorry, and thank you so much!), I went to my seat. One guy approached me and asked my help to do a review about something, I forgot! It took me around 10minutes to finish it up. After it’s done, he took it back from me and thanked me. Then what surprises me was, before he left he said “awesome presentation, man!” And I was like, “Err… Thanks I guess” then after that, I ran to the campus bus station to wait for the bus going to the main block. I hopped on and sat on the first row. Another guy came up to me again and said “hey, great presentation!” and again, I was… quiet and I looked at him. “Dude, it was a one-night-crammed work” and then the conversation keeps on going.

Ouh yea I forgot to mention my aunty. Aweyn and Nadia’s mom and Cikgu Asnah were here since yesterday. After getting off of the plane, they and aunty Ati went straight to Nilai and PKNS to buy some shawls and etc(had to include that) because I saw that they have 4 luggage full of fabrics. Shirts, Baju Kurungs, scarves, ouhh and I don’t what else they stuffed in those baggages. They left the house to the airport before I even reach the house. May God be with them along the way.

After everything’s tidied up, I and aunty were so exhausted and plain weak that we don’t even have the intensity to lift our butt up on the chair. We were so tired! It’s now 2.34pm; I’ll try to post something up later tonight. Maybe something will happen today, not hoping, just a feeling

I properly sit myself down to the other side of the field, facing the playground. Lotsa thing keep crossing my mind. It all started when I was thinking about the car that I use to drive these kids to the playground, the question goes like "did I parked the car properly?" then I sighed. Then, when I placed myself to where I was then, I decided to call a friend of mine, Boy. Yesterday, Boy gave me a missed call. That's what he always do when he needs to call somebody, notifying the people in the other side that he needs to talk which leads him to be the one that gets a call. I used to be the victim of that cleverness. Last night we talked for almost half an hour and eventually I killed my credit, Geez! I'm feeling mixed up. I was shocked but at the same time I'm glad cuz it happened perfectly in time! I don't wanna say that it's a bad thing but sometimes it irritates me that people would give missed calls wishing to be called back. But noooo... the story stops there.
I was sitting and playing the greatest game ever existed, tetris(!) when I realized that a lot of people are jogging. People are running, walking, playing and skateboarding. All of a sudden, it comes me, the last time I worked out was when I was still in Sabah! I couldn't believe that I am EXTREMELY lethargic to even stretch my muscles. But what surprises me is that, my body is losing its weight, not vice versa (mcm c Aweyn...ngah ngah ngah). I can't believe I actually bear with hunger everyday.
Anyways, didn't do much today. At first, I was struggling to push myself to go sit in front of the computer to start outlining my presentation next week. But then I was too occupied surfing and clicking the Yes and No button on Tagged. I don't feel like doing the presentation.
I didn't go to college as I was so lazy and also because I knew that it's a presentation day. Doesn't matter if I go or not. Its the day I begun my babysitting experience.

I woke up. Went upstairs just to find that the kids are still sleeping. They slept at the girls' room, but can barely see anyone there. Bet Ana is sleeping in uncle's room. I said to myself while heading to uncle's room "Hurm,now I can go and get ready for my claa...SHOOT! Where is everyone! Sya mau p class, sepa jaga budak2 nih!? Astagaa..~". Darn it, seems like I need to skip another class. DAMN DAMN DAMN! It's the time when I am reeeaaaaally eager to go for a class, and this sh*t happened!
So, canceled my plan. Got few plans for today, but but buttt....ARRGHHH!! calm down Indra, calm down....
=(.... =|....... :|...............:-}................................. : )
So, all I did today was just handling the kids. But thank God Farid's still here. He kindly went out to buy something for the kids, as a breakfast. But I'm the one who made them milks, bath them, asked them to sleep, kick 'em, whack 'em, smackdown, trampled 'em...weih weih weih...what do you think I am? An animal???
I was actually really surprised that I can actually handle those kids which the first time I came here, was with them and was about to kick them in the ass for putting me in to a misery. Everyday is like hell for me. Still remember one of them teared my toothpaste off and glued it all over the wall. And I once said to myself, "God, if you help me to be patient I'll spend you a Coffee Jelly Frappuccino at Starbucks". And here I am now, feels like the King Of The World! Woot woot!

I am happy to know that aunty's coming back today. I didn't go for class today becaaause... Well, I don't have one on wednesdays. I waited since morning, she said she'll be flying back to KL in the morning. And guess what, after waiting for hours she finally arrived at around 5pm. Shook her hand and went back downstairs to do what I was doing, SLEEPING! I was called few minutes later and they were asking whether I wanna go to the Mamak Stall at the back together with them or not. I said no, and they hung up. Then, I was called again to get my Nasi Goreng Ayam upstairs which actually tastes nothing like one! Tastes like...nothing!
So that's all for today.

Nothing much happened today, I went for class and...well, settle some stuff.
I went to the post office at PBD which I barely go to. And.......went back, sleep yada yada yadaa..~
Nite Thursday!
Ouh ouh, and uncle is coming back today! The last time before Khairi's leaving for Australia.

Today I wasn't planning to do anything, just waiting the time to go take my pay at HOUSE+Co at 4pm until around afternoon when I got a call from Angie asking me whether I wanna go have lunch with her or not. I agreed and went out, took a train to Kelana Jaya and she fetched me up there. We were talking then decided to go to HOUSE+Co. Beside, I planned to go there after I had lunch with her, so we did. I had MHK and Pineapple Juice, and Angie had NLC BST and Grape Juice. If you're wondering what those MHK and NLC BST mean, let me tell you, it's actually some of the abbreviations that we used to write on the order chit. MHK stands for Mee Hoon Kerabu, NLC BST stands for Nasi Lemak Chicken Breast. LOL! I didn't finish mine but Angie did hers. I was pretty full cuz we were talking like non-stop! After paying for the foods, we went downstairs to buy a present for her friend. She invited me to go along with them but I refused, her friend is a Persian guy so there'll be alot of things that I would not understand, in terms of cultural, and lifestyle. So not me!
And then, we went to Aly's place. And wasting some time there talking and then checking out new gossips on GutterUncensored.com which I don't know that such site exists.
We leave Aly's place at around 7.40pm and she sent me to the LRT station, went to KL Sentral to bank my money in (Dusss...dapat gaji pertama dr HOUSE+Co pun mau kecoh!) and I went straight back home.

I stayed in my room since morning till night, without going out!
See, bear with your hunger Indra! Bear with it! Kotohhhhhhhhhhhh..~~~
But, in the night uncle brought us out to have dinner at around Kelana Jaya. It's at Fatty's Crab, seafood seafood seafooooodddd...not!
Wasn't that hungry after all.
When we went home, Khairi asked me whether we want to go to his friends' place to get some 'kebahagiaan' time. Me, Farid and Pija turned it down and computer here I am!

Sms Sms Sms!! It's Aweyn... She already landed at the airport in Terengganu.
Be cool Aweyn, I promise I'll come there. But not in the nearest time. She sounds like she's having some kind of flu when I called her, I knew that she cried. She just loves her mom so much that she can't leave her. She'll be missed by the family, that's for sure.
I'm sure Nadia will also miss her so much that she'll be crying in her room every night, no more denial Nadia, you love your sister!
All the best handling yourself there Weyn! Love ya cuz!

Online until morning. I know it's freakin' early to say this but I am really eager to book a ticket for raya.
ahahhaa! and I already did! I booked a ticket going back on September 15th 2009! exactly FIVE days before raya! Yeay!
We had an Western+Eastern kinda breakfast this morning. I ate two plates of Nasi Lemak.....and the day continues.....................

Kelmarin...

I killed my dream time last night by mugging up with my group assignment. I was sitting on the chair facing the screen of my computer blankly with my hand moving the mouse and clicking on unknown buttons since evening after I got up from my sleep (was so sleepy!). I knew that I need to start doing my work but then, my head was pretty distractible. Say sorry to God now son!
I was on the chair since 7 but just started doing the work at 12am. Chika kept calling me asking me whether I already finish my part or not. I lied to him a little though :P~ sorry Chix(puppy face). Anyways, After spending three nights at Yogi's, and getting few text messages from Linda asking me when am I gonna come home, I finally decided to go home.
Kal and Jordan were there when I finished packing all my stuff. I released the awkwardness with some conversations I invented myself and eventually managed to get Lingga to be the centre of attention :P~ sorry to Lingga too (banyak sda dosa sya). Kal, Jordan and Yogi just got back from some badminton tournament which I never go to. It's not that I don't play games, but I don't feel like taking my time mixing something that I am familiar with something that I am not, and no I'm not talking about the people but the place.


I took the RapidKL T634 to Bangsar LRT Station and decided to go KL Sentral first instead of going home straight away which a loner would certainly do. When I reached there, there were some new booths that were situated in the middle of the building (Ppfrttt.. like I know it's the centre). One I saw was a booth for a fiesta called Pesta Malam Indonesia (I guess~) Some tables were arranged and names like Sheila On 7, Gigi and some more were sticked in front of the table. But the artists were not there yet.
I don't feel like staying there, I dragged myself up to the food court upstairs and ordered a Nasi Goreng Black Pepper, my favorite! Then Air Sirap. I munched everything to the end till the last bit without looking around cuz I am sure that time I was VERY HUNGRY!(cheh, every 5 minutes oso feels like that mahh~~) I finished my Air Sirap and walked out of the court. Insert a RM1 note to the KTM ticket machine and by accident the train was actually there! The escalator was damn slow so I decided to run together with my 100KG shoulder bag and laptop case while saying "Sorry, sorry, excuse me, excuse me..." to all the people that were standing on my path.
Everyone was looking at me, but I told myself that I look gorgeous on that day and that's the reason why they set those stares on me. Trus bilang aku meng'encourage' kunun diri aku..."Ah, peduli apa! memang sya hensem" bilang dlm hati... Tapi dalam otak, trus ada jua tpikir manatau zip sya tbuka tp nda jua sya meninguk, malas suda kan.
Made it home, and took a bath. Perform my prayer, switch on my computer and let the solo piano play by itself and then I slept like baby. Woke up at around 6pm or 7pm, shower and performed my prayer. Lied to Chika then continue doing my assignment at around 12, finished at around 2am and went to bed at 3am. ulang story kan?

P/S: Father's Day Mood.( June 21st 2009 kan???)

Me, coffees, friends.

Last night, I was out with my friends. It was around 12am when Cheah asked me whether I wanna go out or not. I said yes and asked Alicia to come along. Then, comes Lingga. He actually was really occupied with transferring all the files he has in his external hard disk into my computer as his was “admitted to hospital” due to a “bluescreen disease”. He was asked to back all his file up to another hardware so that when the guy re-format his computer, there will be no “Ala…fail-fail gw smuanya ilang…Gmana nih,videonya gw yg freerunning ama si Danar smuanya udh mampus.Aduh, anjrid banget”. I forgot to tell y’all that this guy is obsessed with ‘free-running’. He owns a severe injury due to jumping off from a 5-feet divider and because of that he has to run an operation. Not mentioning his very best friend, Danar broken his arm BECAUSE OF ‘PARKOUR’!
Gosh, I slipped off of the path!! Okayyy…Back to story,
So me, Cheah, Aly and Lingga went out. Cheah said we should go to Chawan at Bangsar Village first and if it is close, then we go somewhere else, so we did. When we reached there, it was still open. Apparently it opens until 1am. Not much time left, but it’s okay though. Then we took our seats and a guy gave us four sets of menu. Wow, I didn’t know that all the city here in Malaysia has its own original coffee! I was not really sure what Cheah and Lingga ordered but I sip the same drink as Aly’s, Cold Kopi Muar 434 (or 343). It was bitter, but the sweetness comes at the end of the tongue.
Aly and Cheah told me some edifying information about coffees that I have never knew. Differences and stuff. They even told me the differences between Chinese, India, and Malay Tea. I remember when Aly said “You can taste the sweetness first, then the bitterness. That’s Malay Tea.” Then, “Chinese Tea is kinda like a war, it goes the other way around. Bitterness first and then comes the sweetness” (cool,eh?) but I am not really sure about Indian tea (apologiiiieeeeeeeesss…) , but I think I remember she said that it is really bitter. But nothing can compare with the bitterness of the Arabic’s. No sweetness at all, it’s like you’re drinking up a pen’s ink. Yucks!
The conversation went and flowed away with the time, which we did not realize. We laughed and spilled our saliva like no one was around. I did not even look at the time which I usually do when I’m around people. The very last topic we talked about was our experiences during high school years. Now I know that Aly and Cheah actually attended the same school. Good for them, they know each other well enough now. And the weirdest thing was, I happened to tell my own experiences when I was still a kid as well LOL.
Then out of nowhere, a guy came and told us that they’re closing. Tonight, their drinks are on me. Cheah sent us home then he went back. I went upstairs to room (Lingga and Yogi’s room), getting ready to do my assignment, but no. I fell asleep, maybe I was too tired of walking from MidValley, College, then LowYat then went out to get something to drink again. (Fewh, I went all out today!) But that’s fine. Lingga’s voice bites my ears, bothering my drenching-into-a-dream session. I fell asleep, and the time stops there, eventually. I took my time.

P/S: I and Lingga had a Nasi Goreng with Egg for only RM3.50 at BUKIT BINTANG!!!
