Running.. running.. as far away as i can

As the first phrase of Cheryl Cole's song goes,

"TOO MUCH OF ANYTHING CAN MAKE YOU SICK"...

I have to say i agree with that phrase very much.

lately, i've been having this problem..

i cant stay long with people that i'm close with.

i get annoyed easily. very easily.

when i'm annoyed, i get bitchy or talk/respond less. and the bitchy side of me is not pretty. so i tend to hurt the ones that i love.

i don't know. maybe i've grown up in certain ways. 20 years old. owh well. no.. if u think i'm PMSing, i'm not. really.

so last weekend, i had to get away from Manchester.. and go down to London to attend Aina's house party. yes.. the things i do for you, Aina. and happy belated birthday. i love u like a hell lot ok.

anyways, the house party was more like a KTJ reunion. a lot of us KTJians especially the Londoners came. not forgetting those from Manchester, Liverpool, Warwick, Nottingham. omg. it was great. people that i haven't seen for years were there. happy =)

it was great. but the cooking and setting up part were stressful. haha. i felt sorry for Aina coz she had to put up with me making stress+bitchy+annoying faces/gestures.

yeh anyway, i still didnt wanna leave Aina's house though. so i went back to Manchester on Monday morning when i had a lecture at 10am. i managed to go! *proud of myself*

OMG..... 100TH POST!

not bad for a blog that just started earlier this year. =) 100th post, it is!

anyway.. i believe that weekends aren't meant for me to be lazy!

always always and always full of plans. planned and unplanned.

i'm even more relaxed on weekdays, to be honest.

adding on to the hecticness, i had to say HI to Mr COLD, coz he hasnt visited me for so long. and so he visited me yesterday morning and is goin to be with me for the next couple of days. STRESS!! i hate getting COLD. a tissue must be over my nose all the time. hingus bagaikan air terjun.

my weekend started on Thursday. hehehhe. i love it. but it was Eric's birthday. just when i thought i wanted to stay in for the night, had to go over to his apartment to celebrate with him. Eric is leaving Manchester next week, and i, as part of the gang, am gonna miss him a lot. =( he said he had the best birthday ever. glad to hear that, Eric. =)

nothing exciting done on Friday. that was my only resting day. Saturday was tiring. went to Trafford Centre. made a bit of damage to my bank account. splurge. as usual. on dresses. it was a bit annoying to shop when i had runny nose. argh. came back. Tony bought Singstar. and so after dinner, we sang for friggin 4 hours. and then.. i STRESS. voice gone. body damn tired. tapi perut kempis sket sbb nyanyi byk sgt. ok. seriously, singing is an exercise when u have to hit the high and low notes. TIRING.

didn't wanna wake up this morning. but Laura texted to meet her. havent met her since my birthday so.. i just had to wake up. it was 11 anyway. so yeahh.. went to Arndale. Dorothy Perkins was a bitch. 10 pounds on a pair of black flats. hehehhe. so i said.. why not? before anyone else gets them. just came home from an intensive netball training. pancit. i have a very low stamina, hence the reason why i only have to guard the goal post! but still running here n there.. phew.. then came back and Nadia told me that she's gonna get singstar vol 1. i think i'm gonna pass out before the night ends.

oooohh.. Backstreet Boys and Beyonce will be in Manchester on 4th and 18th Nov. dangggggggggggggg.... was contemplating whether i should go to BSB or Beyonce. BSB are legends... and Beyonce is an amazing performer so both concerts are worth watching. thats why.. i'm planning to watch both!!!!!!!!!!!!!! hell yeah! =)

Appreciate

Something different to read about for a change.....

We as humans are constantly dissatisfied with whatever we have in present, be it looks, material, job, bf or even friends.

We constantly compare our lives to others.

We constantly feel that we're not enough.

but hey, for how long do we have to keep feeling like that? for the rest of our lives?

Life is short. whatever we have right now is a blessing from God. make the most out of them. appreciate those gifts. if we're facing difficulty, treat it like a test and learn from it. that test may make us stronger.

people who look perfect on the outside, may not be on the inside.

so the lesson is, STOP COMPARING YOURSELVES TO OTHERS and APPRECIATE LIFE AS IT IS.

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeekend

i had a nice long weekend. but too bad it was not the weekend that i could completely rest.

on Friday evening, Didi had a house warming party. since he is one of my best mates here (since college), i still came, though i felt like lazying around in my flat doin nothing. i have to say, i didnt regret going coz it was fun. met a few new people (Singaporeans and Indonesians mostly) and some people that i've known for sometime. went at 8, thought of coming home at 10 but in the end, my friends and i stayed the longest til 12 ish. by then my tummy was full with Coke and Lemonade. had to send home an almost drunken friend (name cant be mentioned coz i love his/her sooo and this has always been my job at parties -taking care of drunken friends).

had a good long sleep that i woke up at 12ish on Saturday. yeay! cooked chicken soup with the flatmates. thought of going to the cinema but i was plain lazy. got a call from KUSMA member asking to become the MC for the hari raya open house on Sunday (yesterday). knowing me and not having the experience, i panicked for a bit, tried to decline the offer very hard but Munzir was being very persuasive and knowing me, i don't have the heart the people down. still panicking, i called a few people that i know if they can become the MC to replace but as usual, they declined. called Nadia ( she was in Notts) and she was quite willingly accepted to be the MC only if we become co-MCs. GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR... so yeh went to Fran's house and brought my kegelabahan-ness there. yeh.. i was panicking badly.

Sunday. was panicking like hell. but everything turned out ok coz i just had to follow the script. hahahha.. so lesson of the day, don't be too nervous over things that aint too big. coz in the end of the day, everyone at the open house just wanted to eat the free food, not listening to speech or even the MCs talking. lol. btw, it was a good event. dapat makan kan. and it was packed with Malaysians. met my long lost neighbour who is doin Pharmacy 1st year too. how cool is that? and fyi, Manchester Malaysians are very well linked to each other, eventhough you're not very close to some of them. it's like CNN and news travel. suddenly talking to one of them, he/she asked me about the controversial blog post last term. haaaa.. lesson of the day, don't post/say anything controversial anymore!!! if i'm ever gonna run for MSSM committee next month, i'm pretty sure that issue will be brought up. *sigh* these are the consequences of impulsive and hormone-influenced acts. don't make the same mistake like i did, people!

A birthday to remember -05/10/2009

05/10/2009,

i am officially a twenty year old girl! hmm.. is that word girl still appropriate? defo! i may look like a mature young woman on the outside, but honestly, i'm still a 12 year old on the inside especially when i'm around my family (particularly my mom).

i had my birthday weekend in London! went down on Friday afternoon and arrived back in Manchester on Monday morning.

i had such a great stay in London. stayed with Aina, Debbie and Nurul. they were my housemates in KTJ. they are living in a house near Waterloo and the house was FABULOUS! i love it. i dont know why. it was warm and cosy and welcoming and complete somehow. i would want to stay with them if i ever get to work in London after graduate. and meeting Aina just turned on my idiotic+crazy side of me. and we spent hours and hours laughing at each other's stupidity!

met up with other people like my good friend, Aidy and cousin Dewi. and not forgetting raya at Iqa's and Aisyah's. yayyyyyy! i miss these people a lot! but Qa, we need to plan a niniqaqa lone time ok!! that day jumpa u tak cukup! Iqa and Mand were sweet to give me an early birthday present. wheeeeeeeeee! =D

on the 4th Oct night, went to eat at Hare and Tortoise. yes! had a dose of that delicious Prawn Mee there. and and... Aina, Deb and Nurul bought me a cake and sang happy birthday!!! so sweet of them.. and i got a present too! after that we went to the cinema to watch Fame! love it! sangat best!

then met up with Nadia and we were at Bayswater tube station when the clock stroke 12a and so we took a really poyo pic. then we got ourselves a bit lost around Knightsbridge but got back at the hotel (Nadia's mom left for Malaysia so i stayed with Nadia before going back to Manc next morning).

btw, i still went to lecture at 10 am when i arrived in Manc at 9 am. pfft.

5th oct at night, went for dinner with my close mates in Manchester. so thankful they came and kept on making me laugh throughout the dinner.

6th oct night, went for dinner with Laura and Kate - my ex flatmates. and after dinner i got a HELLO KITTY birthday cake from them!

7th oct, detention party!

owh god. i'm exhausted.but so grateful for this wonderful birthday treats. i love them and each and everyone of you who wished on my birthday. i had the best so far.

First week of class

my 2nd year has officially started.

so far so good for me. things maybe a bit confusing, but i managed to catch up.

i found out that i missed my practicals on last thursday and friday.

yes i did. we all assumed that everything supposed to start this week but nooooooooo...

mine started last week since i'm in group A for practical.

but no worries, i replaced my practical session earlier today and will replace tomorrow too.

i dunno what the hell is wrong with this term, but apparently we have 6 hours (11am to 5pm) practical on Fridays! luckily, not every Friday. we have that practical once a month so i think thats not too bad. overall, i have quite a reasonable timetable. 4 hours on Monday, 3 on Tues, 1 on Wed, 3 on Thurs (6 on the weeks that i have practical) and free on most Fridays (except on certain weeks where i have 6 hours of practical). not too bad huh? well, atleast i dont feel tired on the first week. good start.

i'm going to London tomorrow evening!!! staying over at Aina's. hope to meet other Londoners too.
