breed: azira-sorous
diet: carnivorous
i don't count the days that pass me by...
hmm..maybe its time to start archiving
have got time to kill til next class at 2.30...will surf the net to my hearts content...school's ok, school's alright...one assignment done...236 more to go...hah...
my horoscope today:
A powerful need to reach someone, either for business or personal reasons, could have you spending a lot of time on the phone that may come to nothing, dear Cancer. You might find yourself calling every place where this person could possibly be, and this could prove frustrating. Your friend may be away, so don't try too hard to reach him right now. Leave a message or two and let him call you back. Then find something else to distract you.
huh? uhhh...yea...distraction...i need distraction..

you know how some people doodle funny faces, cats, dogs whatever on their blank page while the lecturer talks like a trombone...yea i do that..'cept i doodle words...while doing my homework too...i'd come across an "inspiring phrase" and then doodle more phrases...im a serial word-doodler...doodled this last night
she packs her bag
with things she doesn't need
she drives her car
to where the tarmac leads
and no one knows
just where she goes
it seems the stars
have kept her secret well
and if you gaze
the crescent moon at night
you'll see the different versions
of her same smile
we all get lost
in this big universe
and everyday
it chooses one of us
so pack your bags
and drive away
if you feel empty spaces
closing in today
we all get lost
in this big universe...

channel 5's playing a second season re-run of 'popular'...even tho at 2.50am...
i am stoked
good news coz i can get my 'popular' fix..everyday!..bad news coz i've seen this..and it creates 'popular' withdrawal symptoms...coz that show soo deserves more than 2 seasons and a never-resolved cliffhanger...even tv doesn't escape the sometimes-cruel fate..

something happened to me yesterday...
yup...
this:
was told to go to dhoby gaut mrt...when i got there i was blindfolded
and "dragged" to a mysterious destination..
when i got to the "mysterious destination" and when my blindfolds were off...
i realised i was in a hotel room...
only then i realized
i was kidnapped....
then i made a super cool extra fancy ala jennifer garner escape and now im typing this down..
no..really..
pfffft..hawhaw..ok fine...actually...it went more like this:
i was 'kidnapped' to a cosy surprise birthday celebration at hotel rendezvous by wunderful people..and had a cool time hanging out...blowing the candles, cutting the cake and eating a mama-style feast dinner all in the hotel room...wahooo...then after a night of sleeping with 4 other pple in one bed..(beat that!)(..and think clean thoughts pleez..muahahah)...had a classy breakfast meal..(sorry not all u guys could enjoy that..it wasnt much..not that it wasnt good but it just wasnt much so u didnt miss much..heheh)..then hiked to town..then chilled awhile then went home and replaced some lost sleeping hours...wholesome good day...thanx sharm and aini for helping me jump through puddles while blindfolded..shaz shrek for the rojak feast...yan for coming down after a hard day's work...mai for..not being there coz if you had then there'd be no place to sleep..hehehah...ok no lah..ur presence was missed...thanx to all who contributed in one way or another(i dunno who and how and what coz it was secretly well-executed knowing how clueless i can get) ..you guyss rawk ah..rawk-er-inaaaa...woohoo
i thought i'd re-phrase my "thank-yous"..so i'll sing ya a song ok...the melody is subjective..ready..?
good friends
buy you gifts
of unerase-able memories
serve you on a silver platter
moments you'd wish
for second rounds
the intangibles will solidify
as hard as clay:
the knowing that nothing more
is needed to make it better,
the knowing that there'll be
a sun for every next day...

"women are like tea bags, you can see how strong they are when they're in hot water" ...hmm
i like adrian mole and his irritating jokes but this book's (the cappucino years) too thick to finish..hafta return it soon...i still have sophie's world...which is resting comfortably on my shelf... i would never finish that book even if i had forever...i think it'd be interesting to survey on "which books you started but never got to finish even if you had the chance to"...i bet sophie's world would make it in the top 3 list...you know you pick up the book coz the cover and the blurb looks good...then you get to page 56 and you're like...just blindly reading the words but not actually digesting it...daydreaming about lunch instead or somethin like that..ah huh...
...*eyes half closed*...i know even I'M boring myself...sleeepy mahn sleeepy..oh no my neighbor downstairs are at it again...karaoke that is...ugh...like silver tortoise ktv pub...euw euw..how to sleep...you guys suck..no need to have the volume this loud...*slams window*
still bloody loud...*opens window* "hoiii....diam ah! diaaam...my pokoks are wilting!"

had 1 and a half of double choc muffin...3/4 of brownies...and chicken tuna caesar salad(with fatty but yummy dressing) at work...came home in the evening and have not eaten anything...and rightfully should not..until 2 days later but...im already craving for something noodle-ish..whattheheck...im a pig!...im joining the PA..pigs anonymous..
me:hi everyone, my name is azira and i'm a pig
crowd of pigs: hi aziraaa
monday's my last day(at work i mean)...bittersweet
------------------------------------------------------------
went for med check-up on tues...so depressing that 95% of the crowd were girls...went with parents..dad was reading a "women's weekly" magazine at the reception area where everyone sitting around waiting for their turn were sitting around waiting for their turn...ah huh..i pretended they were someone else's parents...
dad:ah ni macam sedap ni...recipe kentang ni...(ah this looks good..this potato recipe)
me(turning my head the other way): mm..
saw magdalene..eunice(the choir one),vivian...goin to accountancy,comm studies and biotech respectively..met jj kailing..shes also in comm studies..(damn it)and she said pet's also in comm studies..so...ok..sally chua'll be proud..but then again she always is ..proud .period.
after med check-up...dad treated swensen's..and i went on a binge(as like pigs do)...then bought some presents for my lil cousins' b'day this sunday..we bought him a hulk's hand and bought the lil sis a plastic "glass cinderella slippers"..the kids turn 4 and 2 respectively if im not wrong...my mom has her reasons why we bought those stuff...im still tryin to figure out mine..
ok as "enticing" as the invitations to orientation camps look...i've decided not to go...i dunno..i just dont feel like campin out with a buncha strangers or new "friends"...guess im not the type...not that i dont care..maybe a lil intimidated...but actually very lazy..ah hmm..my list of excuses end there..want me to go on..nahh..bet not..
btvs rocks...one of the reasons why i will never Not be a tv junnkie..thank god for joss whedon and my couch potato genes
ok that'll do pig..that'll do
..you know i'd really hate to have my nose like a snout..
ok shut up and go to bed
..and dream of food..speaking of which..have u ever had a vivid dream eating something(something food-ish but very weird)..and vividly remember that it tasted really good? i have..and im not talking just once..

yesterday was my uncle's engagement...wooo..so many gifts...and i ate lotsa cakes...the really rich chocolate one...the wedding cake with super-diabetically inclined sugar icing...and the famous amos cookie cake...ahh..no wonder sore throat..
i carried..umm..some perfume and toiletries gift...our representative was pretty cool...he's this old guy who talks really fast and fluently...my uncle's old "ngaji" teacher......impressive and a lil poetic but in a malay way..his speech was sumthin like.."we are honoured that a well-bloomed flower from this house is able to join us in our garden..and we show our gratitude with these gifts...tho the ring may be small in size in our eyes..but what it symbolizes, what we cannot see, is much bigger..etc etc.." ok maybe it sounds lame in english...but in malay i was blown away...hahah..maybe coz i dont hear such flowery malay lang all the time...so yea...it went like that..then my mom being the eldest sister..got to slip the ring into my aunt-to-be's finger...(i know it sounds weird..but yea...custom i guess)..and both their hands were shakin coz both were nervous..with all eyes on them...and the spotlights...oh gosh the spotlights...
when the men's side(us)...came with the gifts...wooo...the girl's side was so freekin prepared in wanting to catch every second of the action and keep it in the family history multimedia library....i felt like i was in cannes film festival...the second we stepped in ...bam! spotlight...videocam ..then turn left ..bam! spotlight..camera...then go up the star...flicker flicker...camera...muahahah....and the poor girl was sweating from all the spotlights...hahah...ok so yea...thats the story morning glory...the food was good...but my throat is not...dang it...
the famous amos cookie cake. pretty ex i guess...had to re-use the letter "z"
my uncle with our side of the gifts
