twilight.
i know im late blogging about it.
saw the movie a couple of weeks back.
and only recently now..am i absorbed back into the twilight mania. haiisyh.
i want all 4 books~ huhu.

its just another chic lit. yep2.. i know. i thought ive grown out of the chic lit era..of sophie kinsella's and cecilia ahern's and little black books. i tried running away from all that and tried reading more 'intense' stuff. intense la sgt kn. hehe.

ive been 'playing the field'..trying this and that..trying out new genre's and stuff. i always liked classics but somehow...my most recent classical books are love stories. sometimes i get the feeling that its just another chic lit with a little bit of flair, more elegance and with grammar yg berbelit-belit. haha.

ive been rambling a lot which leads me to the whole point of this entry...which is to say and admit (reluctantly :p) that im one of the twilight fans out there. haiisyh. gedik saje. i saw the movie a few weeks past and it was an ok movie..i expected it to be more but it was just another a chick flick..to me la. i thought there was more to it..more action and less talk. haha. :p overall..it was a sweet love story. greattt to watch with the girls and go gaga over how sweet edward is :p edward looks a bit like chuck bass in gossip girl kan..a bit metro :p but despite his looks..i guess all the hype there is to edward is how he acts and treats bella. sweet je. i guess most girls wants an edward in their life right? hehe.

after finally letting in to the twilght mania..i had a sudden urge to buy the book yesterday to get ready for the kuantan trip. i went to mph alamanda but alas...the books were out of stock. ceh. so i guess i'll be book hunting then for the next couple of days. its been ages since i had a mission and agenda like this. last time was queing up at 'twilight' to buy harry potter's deadly hallows. haha. (lame joke i know :p *sambil r0lls eyes at self*)

which reminds me...hid..where art thou? want to join me in my conquest or have u already have ur hands on the twilight series? :p

w.a.n.te.d!

not much has been up since the hols. im waiting for the new year to start keje and learn the hard way to earn a living. huhu. like it or not..im growing up eventhough deep down i still feel mude belia remaja. haiisyh. neways..ape cerite everyone? menyepi saje. huhu.

to my frens yg nk kawen this weekend...to kak reen, fatimah misran and to salwa&acap...selamat pengantin baru~ :)

im off to masak nasi goreng. need to work on my cooking skills cuti2 ni just to get myself prepared. prepared for wat? jengjengjeng~ hohoho.

"bird in hand is worth two in the bush"

beginning of an end

fyp is over!! yeayyy~ yeayyy~ yipeee yipeee yeayyy~ well actually not fully over..only about 80% over. only the poster exhibition stuff left to be done. uhuh.

presentation was done yesterday. alhamdulillah~ a huge burden has been relieved.

omg!~~

final year project was such time consuming and tiring. it wears your brain out. eventhough if you x buat ape2...your brain is still working full gear thinking about the project..thinking about what has been done..whats next to be done..what needs to be altered and such. pnat otak. lagi pnat drp nk stdy utk exam. better buat exam drp fyp. huhu. haiih. im just glad its done. everyone has been suffering from fyp. we all got a taste of it...barula rase asam garam blaja kn. hehe.

its nearing the end of another chapter. another one will begin. its quite sad really. we've been through together since matric. lame dh..around 5 years dh. we pusing2 pn tgk org yg same je...classmates same. thats one of the perks of having a small number in our batch. after this we all will go our own separate ways. if we get a chance to meet up pn nnt sume org dh with their own lives. nk jumpe pn susah..evreyone busy with workla..with this and that..yg nk kawen..yg sudah pn kawen. hehe. lepas tu anak pulak. i gues thats the main cycle la kn. we grow up. we grow apart. for some..by growing up..we grow closer :p anyway..i hope that it wont change much n we'll still keep in touch and have regular meet ups whenever possible. huhu.

things are falling into place. what was once bleary became focused and terang. some things u didnt see before...u see now. of course there are still some things that u cant see now..u will hopefully see in the future. what lies ahead..unknown. but for now...its starting to make sense and all we can do is try to pave our way through it all. i am blessed for the past series of events that have happened during the last few months. on life..on relationships..on work..on challenges..on changes. some expected..mostly unexpected. some disappointing..some not. sometimes..u get the good in with the bad.

there are times..u dont expect or imagine that you can be at a place where you are right now. sometimes its too surreal that you're afraid to be too happy that it will then all go away. but i guess life is like that. your lucky streak will run out eventually and you just need to sink it in, absorb it all and try again for that lucky streak to come back. luck never just comes, right? you have to work for it to earn it. some call it rezeki..but for me..in order for rezeki to come..u still haf to work for it. working it can mean different things to different people...some work hard..literally like sweating it out..some work it by using their brains rather than brawns..some work it spiritually by staying close to their religion..some work it by doing good deeds with the hope that good deeds will come back on to them. no matter how hard we work it..we just need to remember to balance it all out equally. having access of anything is never good rite...moderate is the key, no? :p

alhamdullilah~ i am grateful for what has happened..and i will pray for what will become..

happy end of sem people~~!! :)

"sometimes..strength grows from weaknesses"

taking the good in with the bad

this might be a tad bit late but this entry is specially dedicated to nadira jamil...congratulations dear~ :)

wishing u all the best in the things to come!!~

u are deeply missed~ huhu.

nadira jamil..
sahabat terchenta..
peneman setia..
semoga u berjaya mengejar cita-cita~~~
(had to make it cheesy in order for it to rhyme :p)

and heres a cheesy picture to go with it..hehe ;p

"u buat ape tu nad?" :p

sorry for the lack of updates. this blog here has been abandoned for ages. huhu. been writing elsewhere and sometimes the anonymity is comforting :p

fyp is indeed a pain in the buns. stress, mood swings and disturbing sleeping habits. all after effects of spending 5 hours a day working on the system, no? :p ke'nerd'an terserlah~~ all these urgency to make my supervisor proud. lol ;p it only needs a little bit of patience~

its the first day of ramadhan. entering this month...opportunities to upgrade ourselves sprout out everywhere. the chance lies on us...whether to grab it or just let it slip by. it is the perfect time for reflection and reminding ourselves with all that we are blessed and to those less fortunate. patience...peace..serenity...goes a long way and does wonders to the heart and soul. heres wishing a great ramadhan to all!!~ ramadhan mubarak~

"happy 51st birthday to Malaysia!!~ older n wiser? ;p selamat merdeka!"

the end

eit has just finished today~
it has been memorable.
the ending was a sweet one...
really unexpected...
i guess it goes to show..save the best for last :)
really really last..nearly nak balek baru ckp :p
still dunno what i will do...but alhamdulillah~

"life is like a box of chocolates..you never know what you're gonna get"

huhu.

"terlajak perahu boleh diundur...terlajak tulis...boleh didelete"

ok go~ :p

i seem to have a lot of time to blog lately. haisyh.

its nearing the end of training.
my work is all done..except for the developing the application and reports.
everyone's busy with the moving and stuff.
most of the things are packed and ready to go.

was installing applications for the web os.
came across the 'prince of persia' game.
i used to call it prince back then.

game zaman dahulu kala. haha.
installed it and gave it a go.
haiy0~ karat sudah my skills.
got hooked on it for a while before resuming back to work :p

those were the days. i was hooked to these games back then...

during the DOS era (5-6 yrs old) digger was a favourite. the only game i knew back then come to think of it. haha.

windows 3.1 era - prince. this screenshot however was took while i was testing it out at work :p

windows 95 - lemmings

haha. can make a time line already. these games were very nostalgic. it became a very big part of my growing up years :D

and then came the nintendo era. nintendo nes and super nintendo. little goomba and koopa troopa. haha. priceless~ it brings back the fondest of memories. only the NES is still standing strong in didi's room. everything is still working except for the sounds. y0sh~

that was back then..but now...things have changed - drastically~ of course the consoles back then cant be compared to consoles nowadays. its like 'langit and bumi'. hehe. but that was the real mcCoy. old skool~ big and bulky yet sangat berjasa~

on a more serious note...

the oil price has hiked up drastically!! aiyayaya~ from rm1.92 to rm2.70. nearly a 50% increase. a nearly full tank of kelisa from rm50 something today would be around rm70 or 80 tomorrow. and thats only a teeny weeny kelisa. haiih.

everyone is running to fill up their tanks tonight. angah, back from KL observed all the gas stations from there to bangi. for those living in the bangi area...people queing for petronas sect 15 have reached until petronas 3 tambahan (roundabout and all :p) my my~ so long the queue~ no wonder traffic today was a bit haywire. it still is...

back then it was the beras issue. from the usual rm30 to rm40 for a bag. now its the petrol issue. and i hear that electricity is also going up. haiih. if its like this now...i wonder how it'll be like when i start to work or when i have kids later. haiihhhhh~~~

"in the end, we will conserve only what we love, we will love only what we understand, we will understand only what we have been taught"

of a long weekend :D

had a long weekend~ :)

got absorbed with b&w mode.
got some injury while bersukan...excited terlebey. haha.
tomorrow already monday. huhu.

all work and no play makes jack a dull boy...


the waiting room 'drama' ~


usratee...
and then there were two :(

"dont count your chickens before they are hatched"

m.l.s

we're moving.
huhu.

tmrnd that is.

cyberjaya here we come.
i get to see nad now. hihi. i will pindah first. huhu.

no more leaving the house late.
from 15mins drive to 30. plus rush hour sumore. bobobo~

my supervisor is out.
im bored.
im tired of reading this manual.
in short..m.a.l.a.s.
feels like reading for class.
class with abur@s. hehe.

tips@unaberry.net: put characters/symbols instead of normal letters to avoid being googled at :p the same goes for passwords. harder for people to decrypt.

btw..i think writing manuals are quite fun la. maybe i should give it a go later. hehe :p x0x0~

"dreams that do come true can be as unsettling as those that dont"

of OS'es~ o.O

time goes by so0o0o0 fast~

ive read through like around a gazillion pages and its already 4.
time is relative.
it is getting harder and harder to predict time as days go by. its nearing the end of days..akhir zaman.

as much as i like reading..my eyes feel like popping out~ o.O
it is also turning green.
not green with envy but green...derived from the direct translation of 'mata menghijau' haha.

i need a break. i once read the best way possible to that is by doing the exact opposite.
the acronym of reading = writing.
blogging will have to make do.

ive been reading and searching since morning, but it feels like the more i read..the less i know so i dig deeper which leads me to read more and more...
sometimes when you do research on the net you tend to deviate from your core objectives..if you have time on your hands that is (like me now :p)
because of this deviation it will take longer to get to the bottom of things.

from reading about OS'es i can click and click and click and then i'll find myself in someone's blog reading about comparing religions and stuff. haiiisyh.
my browsers are full of tabs.
my bookmarks back home are full of links and folders waiting to be read in my spare time.
its hard not to get side tracked sometimes.
it happens when you have so much time to spare :p

iqra'~
read!
thats the first word of the quran.
not just reading blindly...but also to understand.
i came across a blog...your average ordinary malay girl..my age...an apostate..murtad from islam...without her parents knowing.
astaghfirullah~
the things you read...its just b0b0b0..ta'aban2~
wanted to share the link here but the browser got hanged and all was lost. cant seem to retrace back my steps. i dont know how i could go from reading about OS to there :p

i just came across blake ross's blog here: www.blakeross.com
its fascinating to see whats behind the mind of the person who co-created firefox during his teens. he's only 23 btw :p

blake ross

he also developed a web OS called 'parakey' which was recently bought by facebook. facebook as a new web OS? hurm. its interesting really to read about the development and stuff since all these while ive been an end user of facebook without giving a h00t out of how things actually work.

ok..enough rantings..
back to reading...
OS vs web OS
its been an interesting topic so i dont mind..not like in OS class dulu. huhu.
i thought i was done with OS'es, kernels, paging, segments, virtual memory and stuff.
one of my least fave subjects..haiisyh~
some more background reading and then i can start building the widgets.
dr abur@s must be proud..haha :D

"reading is to mind as what exercise is to body"

adah's birthday

today is adah's 7th birthdaayyy~

she grew up soo fast..in a blink of an eye. it seemed just like yesterday she was soo little. she just takes in everything u say. now shes in school dah. can be quite a handful sometimes and not as sweet as she once used to be. haha. too bad everyone couldnt be with her today :(

she sometimes act not according to her age. can be quite a makcik also sometime. i guess its from the influence of adults surrounding her. sometimes whenever i go out with friends she wants to tag along. macam anak sudah. haiisyh. die tu perasaan besar je. sometimes it ok for me to bring her..she loves it..but at times its not that appropriate la kan. once she even asked.."Along..when u nak hang out with ur friends lagi? i nk ikut laa." haha. x padan kicik itu punye budak.

we haf a song. just us. me and adah. made by yours truly. i forgot since when we had the song. usually when she was little...while i was putting her to sleep or the other way round..or even when talking over the phone..we would sing this. my other sisters were jealous because they didnt have a song. so to adah...

title: saye sayang awak

saye sayang awak ~
awak sayang saye ~
kita sayang sama-samaaaa ~

hahahaha. thats it. our song~ hihi. the sama-samaaa at the end we'll sing our hearts out loud~ faiz have heard it when adah calls me in uni :p its like our bye-bye at the end. hehe. theres an english version also. but thats a duet. i need her to sing with :p so to adah...happy 7th birthday~ :)

"age is an issue of mind over matter. if you dont mind..it doesnt matter." -mark twain

work

EIT just started for most. engineering industrial training. i hope we get all the training necessary. haha.

its the 3rd day and im slowly getting momentum. my sleeping habits are slowly adapting. no more staying up late at nites playing games or watching stories..kan faiz? huhu. those 'used to be' daily routines will be saved up for the weekends after i qada' on sleep. hehe. it sounds like i work hard labor je..in construction sites. haha. no no..my work requires me sitting down in an air conditioned room..facing 2 pc's..staring at the screen for 8 hours. hoho.

what i need right now is a penguin..a cup of coffee and some pretty hefty pampering(php). hoho. lame joke~

happy working people~ :)

"never work just for money or for power..they wont save your soul or help u sleep at night"

updates

need to present on thursday but i feel like im already on holiday. huhu. spent time catching up on sleep at home..spending time with frens. had a blast bbq at faiz's. at last we successfully had one :) n then today..went to frim with the girls. the CIE classmates. progress on project? still zilch. haiisyh.

pictures of bbq will be put up later..


pictures of FRIM...
more to come..




later then~ need to work on my slide presentation. haiiiisyh~

only the project presentation left to go..

did this during the exams while looking for an excuse not to study
this ones for you red~

"the best gift you can give someone..is your attention"

sleep.sleep.sleep.

its nearly 6 and i still havent slept yet. haiisyh. terwoke up accidentally at 2 and now i cant go back to sleep. i want to stdy but got no mood. huhu. my sleeping rituals have gone crazy la becos of the exams. i study best at nite when no one's up. burn the midnite oil...or in this case burn the pendaflour lights . haha. must get the mood to stdy ni. haiisyh. where are you mood?? moooooooodddd~ mad eye moody :p ooohh..its 1st april already...april fools~

"giving never happens by accident. its always intentional"

2 more papers to go and I'm having a breakdown now. haiiisyh. the emotions just flow. overwhelmed and u can't hold back..that's just when u let go.

Life sure put many obstacles ahead. Roadblocks. Tests. I guess that's what makes us real. How we overcome the challenges. how we face it all. The trials and tribulations.

I thought I was quite independent bt when it comes down to it..I find myself depending on my parents a lot. I'm just grateful that they're there for me in times like these. thank you for understanding. talking to family just makes things seem better. Especially to a sister who gets what I'm going through. we have the same experiences. I guess its in the genes. hehe. Thanx Dids~ this sounds like a thank-you speech that people give out at award shows but just a reminder to self: when ure feeling down..ppl are there for you. Its just a matter of reaching out or not. I'm blessed..alhamdulillah~

While I'm in the thanking mode..heaps of thanx to kma for welcoming me in the wee hours of the morning. I knew ur sleeping habits were as weird as mines ;p u provided electricity when it was scarce and for that I thank u~ :) we also came to share the same fondness over gong yoo eh kma. Hehe. May he be in the best of health at khidmat negara ;p

I must get back to studying...haiisyh.

Q: what do you do when exams is only just a few hours away??

"The difference between a successful person and others is not a lack of strength, not a lack of knowledge, but rather a lack of will."

updated

prologue:
fingers moving rapidly..with every milisecond..the sound of a keystroke clicks on the keyboard.tup tap tup tap.the sound simultaneously matching the pounding sound coming from the nearby clock. the minute hand making a full round followed by the hour.the clocks' hands circling and repeating lap by lap. faint sounds of the early birds chirping in the distant..stirring..waking up. the air is cool and balmy. the wind ruffling up the leaves on the trees as the early morning slowly makes it appearance.

epilogue:
ruffled hairs..a strained neck..tired eyes..aching wrists..and a well written report. NOT!~

what could and should have been..haiisyh.

instead..the real results:
a blank screen...a blank mind..and a still yet-to-be-finished report to write. AND yet..here i am spending time playing games. thankfully..DOTA not yet in the list. haha. games can be sooo addictive...hehs~

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. its been awhile.
havent wrote since xmas. that long eh. haiih. things have been piling one by one. engitex..flash..midterms..asses..quizzes and now since the sem is wrapping up..reports and project presentations are nearing the due date. huhu. so much to do but cant seem to have that kickstart. haiisyh.sometimes its a relief to not do work depending on your creativity..take writing for instance. or in this case..report writing. coming up with words is not as easy as it sounds. putting words to paper..or nowadays..putting words to pc requires you to work with a sense of inspiration. that piece of inspiration will be the motivating factor in giving your work the boost that it needs. to be creative..you need to be inspired. inspiration is a hard thing to find. thats why writers get writers block i guess. huhu. rite now..i cant seem to get back to writing my project report. haiisyh. ive been putting it off ever since n the deadline is days away. y0sh~

2. election.
today is the general election day. "marilah marii..pergi mengundi..tunaikan kewajipan diri.." bt alas..i cant vote. registered alredy bt my record was not found in the electoral roll. too bad i cant be a part of this years election. huhu. a few of my friends have the same problems. hafta wait till the nxt election i guess..which by then i'll be old alredy..married maybe..with a kid or two..makcik sudah. haha.

weird.
the ones who did register cannot vote while the ones who did NOT register have their names in the electoral roll listings. some even went to vote but could not vote since they were said to have voted alredy. weird things happen during these times and i guess we couldnt be surprised rite. for more info check out zats blog since he has the inside scoop.

anyways..rite now..abahs been hogging the tv watching the results and all. the results this time around is quite surprising. unexpected. hehe. congrats to both zats dad and 'mak cet' didi's frens mom who won state seats :)

its kinda fun seeing everyone so hyped up like this. smangaattsss~~

3. the beginning of an end.
its nearing the end of sem and everything is beginning to look cloudy. huhu. as they say..the calm before the storm. im quite calm rite now since i seem to not be able to do anything bt seconds from the deadline..my storm will be brewing at fullspeed. haiisyh. procrastination is sooo not the way. classes will end on the 19th then its exam time. haiisss~ and then after that...its the h0ls~ w00t w00t~ :D will be sooo looking forward to it..

4. networking ur system.
networking lab has finished. i thot i wasnt 'that' into networking bt i guess i was wrong. its quite fun. sumtimes i regret not choosing a networking title for my final year project. huhu. i'll be missing that lab. ive learnt quite a lot from it although i sumtimes feel hard to follow when most of the guys know what the lab instructor's been talking abt when i know zilch. nada. bt where else would i get that kind of knowledge rite :p

5. hayden christensen = wwm??
watched jumper the other day. at some angles..hayden looks a bit like abg penjare. especially the last bit where he wears his snowcap. dun u think? basyiii..wat say u? :p jumper was a sweet movie i guess. there was sumthing wrong with the storyline though. mcm ade yg off sket bt i dunno wat. could do better i guess. mayb it lacked depth a little. the concept of jumping around was fresh though. the casts was also likeable. gugugaga~ :p overall it was feel good movie la. a teen flick. next on the to-watch-list is vantage point. haiisyh.

6. leaving the nest.
am putting together a new site which haf yet to be finished. still under construction. wats taking sooo long. beats me. time constraint i guess. dunno wen it'll be up n running. i guess thats y the lack of writing ppl..plus the fact that things are busier now..not the same as it once was. im old.huhu :(

ive been ranting quite long for this post. ok x fad? long one this one :p should be enough for now. i should get a move on the piled up work. my 'to do list' is longer than ever n nothing's been crossed out yet. yikes~ someone should really kick me in the butt. haiy0 haiy0~ anne..u kick ass rite? haha :p

p/s: hiD!! haf fun 'tanning' urself over there :p am missing u~
