I was going through some old pictures and then I found this:


Cinnamonnnnnnnnnnnnn. ='(

C'est la vie.

Yesterday was my last class in Monash. Ever.

Even my lecturer was saying yesterday "Today is our last class and I would not see you anymore after this. And I think it's the best for all of us". Definitely a LOL moment.

Funny to think how for my last ever class in Monash I was falling asleep in front of the computer in the lab while I was doing the tutorial. (I was surprised that I could still do the tutorial even though I was half-asleep. Hahaha.)

Funny thing happened last weekend while I was visiting my friend at Ampang Puteri with the boyfriend and his best buddies.

Basically what happened was that when we were leaving, my friend's parents came in with some guests.

And then it turned out that the guests were my grandparents' best friends, so being a good granddaughter that I am, I went to the Auntie and introduced myself.

And then I went to greet her husband and then he asked me,

"Awak anak Aza? Kenapa awak pendek?"

T___________________________________________________T

Saya tak pendekkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk.

See, among normal girls, I'm actually considered to be average. In fact, at 158 cm, I'm slightly taller than most of my friends.

But when you are born into a family where your father, siblings, grandfather, uncles and cousins are on average taller than 170 cm and you have your mother's genes, being 158 cm is definitely like getting the short end of the stick (all puns intended).

Now that I think of it, my girl cousin who just turned 13 2 weeks ago is already taller than me.

And all of my siblings, except for Zara, are either at my height or are taller than me.

Even Zara, who's not even 9 yet, now stands at my shoulders.

FML.

Oh yeah, although I'm not an "Idol" fan anymore (I think I stopped watching after Season 5), I read this article on why Crystal Bowersox won't win American Idol and I read these lines:

Says one anonymous "Idol" insider: "I've realized lately that the 'Idol' voting fanbase is now totally dominated by 40-plus soccer moms and their tween offspring. It explains the past few years' winners and the weekly voting patterns."

And then I realised that in my house, the big "Idol" fans are my mum, Wani and Dina, all of whom fall into the said age groups. So I'm guessing whether you're in America or Malaysia, it makes no difference then. Lol.

Oh, just now I went on Nat's fb page and saw that she has Liked this page called "Born To Make You Happy".

I was such a HUGE fan of the song before it came out, and then i realised that even with the huge amount of songs that I have stored in my laptop/EHD, I don't have this song (please don't kill me Nat), so I downloaded the song and I felt like I was in Standard 6 again. Lol.

And then I found another version of the song that Britney recorded when she was younger and downloaded that one too. Sounds almost the same, just less auto-tuned.



Pop songs back then are the best. I pity the kids nowadays for the songs that they are exposed to.

Oh yeah, I was listening to the radio the other day and this song came out:



And now when I listen to these lines from the song:

Be a little bit wiser baby,
Put it on, put it on
'cause tonight is the night
When 2 become 1

I'm like Oh.My.God. I was NINE when I heard this song and I was actually listening to a song about having SAFE SEX. Wtf.

And now that I think about it, I can't believe my parents allowed me to watch Grease when I was 8 years old, what with the smoking and teenage pregnancy scares and dropping out of school. Nasib baik at 8 years old the only thing I cared about when watching the movie were the songs:





And just now when I watched this above scene on YouTube I can't believe my parents actually allowed me to watch a movie where a dude says "Oh come on, you don't wanna hear all the horny details".

OMG.

Oh well. C'est la vie. Lol.

Bored, bored, bored.

I am sick of being sick.

I have been stuck in the house for the past 4 days.

I don't know how much more of Plants vs Zombies I can take. I've played until the final level already. =/

I seriously need to get out of the house for longer than two hours, even if it means infecting people with the flu.

Thank God for tutorials tomorrow.

I CAN'T WAIT TO GO FOR CLASS.

Oh yes. I am that bored.

Ever since the EPL season ended two weeks ago, everyone's been gearing up for the World Cup.

It's actually quite ironic how a lot of Malaysians are England fans considering that Malaysians used to hate them back when England was colonising us.

Last time they used to physically invade us, now they're mentally invading us. Lol.

I am supporting Spain. And Germany. And I would still be supporting my birthplace, England.

(I never said I was immune to being mentally invaded. Lol.)

Oh yeah, talking about World Cup, I want one of the Celcom's Blue Bears.

They're so adorable!!!!!! And I'm not even a fan of teddy bears.

I want the Englbear one (which my mum thinks should have been named Great Bearitain, lol), the Bearmany one, and the Esbearanyol one. Not a surprise, right? =)

Oh yeah, in addition to being on two radio stations for the World Hypertension Day, my dad was also on TV2 this morning to talk about hypertension and obesity.

It is SO WEIRD seeing my dad on tv.

My mum's first thought was, "Wah, I can see your dad's receding hairline."

And mine was, "That seat he's in sure looks uncomfortable."

Oh yes. A very supportive family we are. Lol.

I recorded all 10 minutes of my dad's appearance on tv.

Yeah, it was a short appearance. But still, couldn't have been prouder. =)

Oh yeah, the boyfriend has been taking songs from my thumbdrive and he has basically introduced his brother to the awesomeness that is Delta Goodrem.

It's so sad how a lot of people has never heard of Delta cause she is a good singer.

And I remember sitting in a cinema a few years ago and getting all excited because I saw this ad:



Oh yes, I am still a big fan of hers. I really hope one day I can go to Australia and see her in concert cause there is no way she will ever come here when only about 0.002% of the population has ever heard of her.

Haih.

PS: THIS is awesome! We actually managed to break into the top 10, in front of Germany and UK! =D

I'm sick.

I haven't been this sick since I was doing my internship in January.

And it didn't help that yesterday I went to watch two movies and was freezing to death both times.

And that when I got home from the movies it was pouring cats and dogs.

Yeah, I was basically inviting the flu to come and strike me.

But it's not so bad. I guess that being a doctor's daughter has it's advantages since we have all sorts of medicine at home. Lol.

Oh, speakign of doctors, my dad was on radio today! =D

He was on BFM talking about high blood pressure and hypertension.

Not surprising, considering that my dad is the president of the Malaysia Society of Hypertension. Lol.

And I think it's appropriate that he should be talking about this on the Business station since most businesspeople in general are at risk of getting heart diseases.

It still feels weird to hear my dad on radio although he has done a couple of these interviews on radio over the years.

Oh yeah, the boyfriend told me that one of our friends has to go for surgery today cause he was horribly injured when he played football last week.

I hope everything's gonna go well for him. Surgery means it's serious. =(

I need to go and take a short nap now. The meds are kicking in.

Plants vs Zombies.

I have come to the realisation that I want to have a big family just cause it's fun.

Sitting around the dinner table when there are 8 of us can be really chaotic because everyone will be trying to talk to one another at the same time. And we laugh about the silliest stuffs.

And having three sisters aged 14 and below keeps me in touch with my inner child (as if I need to be anymore childish than I already am).

Like yesterday, while waiting for the boyfriend to pick me up, I was teaching my sisters how to play the Plants vs Zombies game that Nat gave to me in the external hard drive last month.

And we were ended up screaming and jumping cause the zombies were coming up fast but the plants weren't killing them fast enough. Lol.

Yeah, if I were to try doing that with people around my age (except for Nat cause she was the one who gave me the game in the first place!), they would just look at me weirdly.

So having a big family is nice. Sometimes it's a nuisance, but I wouldn't have it any other way.

Oh, I need to go prevent more zombies from coming to my house.

Bye!

Pet peeves.

Alia's number one pet peeve: People showing-off.

I really don't like it when people show-off. It's really annoying.

Like there's this girl in my class who looks so snobbish and is so rude in class. It's annoying cause the way she looks at you is like she's so above everyone else.

I just realised that everytime lecture she and her friend will sit together and talk their mouths off.

Eh, hello, if you wanna spend the whole bloody hour chit-chatting, just please don't come for class. Some people are really trying to learn here.

And I realised it wasn't just me who is annoyed with her. Liyana is too.

There was even one point in tutorial last week where she couldn't concentrate cause this girl and her friend were talking so loudly it that she lost track of what our lecturer was saying.

Granted, person, you might be smart, but the truth is, the rest of us in the class are, too.

But we don't have that perpetual bitch-face that you have on because we couldn't care less how other people look at us or think about us.

So please stop looking down on us cause I'm pretty confident that my grades are as good as yours.

Yeah yeah. I can see that after the end of each class you're trying to show the rest of the class how good you are cause you go up to the lecturer and ask him some questions but please la, you can go for consultation in his room okay.

And it's not like the rest of us need to ask questions anyways. We just listen to the lecturer.

And I am your senior. Most of the subjects you're doing now, I've done last year, so take that smug look off your face and just sod it, okay?

God I feel so spiteful. It's like I'm back in high school. Gah.

=(

The assignment has totally screwed my mind up cause I wanted to write a post on this before I wrote the previous post.

My cat, Cinnamon (the mother in the above picture) died on Friday cause she got hit by a car.

Wani called me in the morning while I was on my way to Monash to tall me she died.

I was devastated, but it wasn't so bad cause I was distracted in Monash.

But when I got home from Monash around 1 o'clock and I realised that she wasn't gonna be there ever again, I started crying bawling my eyes out. And it didn't help that my sisters were bawling too.

My eyes were swollen red. Not a pretty sight.

I felt so depressed the whole day.

She was everyone's favourite cause she was such a smart cat.

Like if she sees one of us coming back, she will run from wherever she was just to stand at the front door to get our attention.

She was so pretty with her bushy tail.

We were just thinking about spaying her so that she would grow bulat and healthy and less fierce.

And then she died. ='(

The whole house is still devastated. Everything that her kittens, Clove and Anice-Seeds (yeah, my mum thought it would be interesting to give spices as the kittens' names since the mummy was named after a spice) do now would remind us of her.

And she was so spoilt by my dad, who's been in Taipei since the day before she died. He's going to be so devastated when he comes back.

I am so sad cause losing Cinnamon definitely felt like losing a family member.

RIP, Cinnamon. We will always love you. :*

ASS-ignment.

I am currently in assignment mode.

I am literally thinking about my assignment 24/7.

I think about my assignment while I'm bathing, while I'm eating, while I'm driving, and especially while I'm doing nothing.

I'm even doing the assignment simultaneously while typing out this post.

And now most days it's my first thought when I wake up in the morning and my last thoughts before I go to sleep.

Oh God, I sound so psychotic. Haih. -_____-

Programming is so hard but I would rather take this a 1000 times over than redoing the torture that is Accounting Theory. *shivers*

Told the boyfriend about that and I know he's a bit disturbed that for the next week he won't always be the first/last thought that comes to mind everyday.

Oh, a small proof that I've not forgotten about the boyfriend:

Lol.

Okay, better get back to doing those codes. I feel more like an Engineering/IT student now rather than a Business student.

PS: The results of the recent UK election was a hung parliament. So with political uncertainty, this means that the exchange rate for Pound Sterling is now lower! (I checked and apparently the exchange rate for 1 GBP is now RM 4.84. OMGGGGG!!!!)

I'm not sure whether to ask my parents to change the money now for our upcoming UK trip or to wait a bit longer before changing. Hmmmm.

PPS: I think my brain is jammed. I can't think anymore, so now I'm gonna go to sleep. Goodnite peeps. =)

PPPS: Found out recently that the boyfriend has skimmed through most of the post in this blog. What the hell.
