I'm off!
I'm off to Hong Kong tomorrow! =) Yay!!!!
I'm packing right now because tomorrow's flight is at 8 in the morning, which means that I have to be there by 6 to check in, which means that I have to wake up at 4 in the morning!
That kinda sucks, but well.....at least it's better than having the flight at like 7 PM.
Well, I've gotta go now, so....Buhbye! I'll be back on Saturday! =D

Papercuts.
Since both Anis and I have finished our exams, my dad is paying us to kemas his study.
Yep. PAYING us.
It might seem weird, but my dad is absolutely crazy about cars that he has car magazines from 1977. Seriously.
Basically, Anis and I ended up trying to sort out his magazines because his study was so full of magazines that you can't even see the floor. It was madness.
In the end, we had like 50+ folders for all his magazines. I think I found at least 100 magazines on JUST VOLKSWAGEN CARS. Granted, it was from the 1980s until now but oh my god, I felt like I was going to drown in car magazines. My sister was saying if our dad had kept the money and gave it to us, we would have a wardrobe full of new clothes. Which is true. Or instead of spending money on buying the car magazines, he could've bought a real Volkswagen Beetle!
We sorted magazines called Autocar, Performance Car, Classic Cars, Hot Cars, Complete Cars, Kit Cars and some of the magazines were just called Cars. Talk about confusing.
We were so relieved when we finished organising his study. Looks so much better. But I have like 5 papercuts on my hands and they are so painful!
Anis and I got so sick of organising magazines that we vowed not to buy any magazines anytime soon.
What a way to spend a Saturday.
Oh by the way, I saw this clip on Youtube and it's quite funny and kinda freaked me out. This fella edited some parts of the Mary Poppins movie and made it into a "trailer" that promotes the movie as a horror movie.

Results
Results came out yesterday.
I got 2 credits, for Marketing and Business Law. I was so disappointed because I really thought I could get Distinction for both. I was 2 marks away from a Distinction for Marketing.
But then, funnily enough, I got a Distinction for my Accounting B, which I so did not expect. And I got a High Distinction for my Business Data Modelling, so my average is still a Distinction.
Luckily I'm not taking Business Law or Marketing as a major because the subjects are going to be harder and harder and so I'm relieved that I got good marks for the majors that I'm taking.
I'm still disappointed, but then there's nothing more I can do. *sigh*
Well, I better do well next semester then! =)

Stalking. Part 2. and exam results, too.
Before I blog, I have to get this off my chest (it's football talk, by the way):
NICOLAS ANELKA, I LOVE YOU FOR SCORING AGAINST MANCHESTER UNITED! MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Because of you, Arsenal is now leading! Mwahahahahahahaha.
OK, I think I had just established myself as a psycho-Arsenal fan.
Anyways, yesterday, Nat, Zaty and I were supposed to go out together. Tapi Nat couldn't go out because her parents made some plans for the day with her included without telling her, so she couldn't keluar with us.
I hate it when parents do that. They make plans for us without telling us and they just expect us to drop everything and go off with them. But that's life, I guess.
So anyways, Zaty and I wanted to watch Beowulf. Problem is, the movie started at 12, and we only arrived at 12.15, so we had to settle for the 2 o'clock movie. MBO is definitely a place that we go just to watch movies because there aren't many nice places to eat there. So i took zaty to Old Town Kopitiam at the Waterfront because it was easy to find parking there, even though it's a Saturday and I like the food there. And the place is cute, too!
While we were there, Zaty saw this cute waiter and she kinda ended up looking at him the whole time we were there. She kept saying "Alia, comel la the guy when he grins" and I was like, "Okay"....she even tried to picture of him. Tapi of course the picture didn't turn out nicely because she was taking pictures while he was moving around and when he was quite far. Anyhow, she was so happy because the guy just so happened to be behind the counter when we were paying and he said "Bye" to her when she picked up her change. She totally melted. Hihihi.
Beowulf was just an okay movie. But then again, I didn't like it that much because it was not my kind of movie la, so maybe it's a good movie for people who like those sort of movies.
After watching Beowulf, we went over to Alpha Angle, where I saw 2 ex-schoolmates from Melawati, and two Monash friends who were working there. Small world, kan?
I tried on some shoes in Alpha Angle and I got so.damn.pissed. If I'm lucky, I will fit into size 8 shoes, but then, most of the time I'm quite unlucky and will always end up buying size 9 shoes. Problem is, I found some really cute shoes yesterday, but then when I tried the size 8 shoes in Vincci, the shoes pinched my feet and when I went to Nose, their biggest size was a freaking 7. I feel like my family are cursed with big feet in a land where the average shoe size is a 5 or a 6. It's so annoying to see people just take a shoe off the rack and try it on while I have to see whether they have the shoes in my size. Urgh.
The funny things about going to Alpha Angle was seeing how Zaty gota bit scared by the MPH mascots and the fact that I saw these cute keychains of small stuffed football jerseys and I bought one Fabregas one for me and a Ronaldo one for Anis.
So on the way back from Alpha Angle, Zaty was telling me how she dah "tersangkut" on her cute waiter and how she misses his smile and I almost laughed at her and then I remembered that I am also kinda hooked on this waiter from Sakura Kristal. I have been to Sakura Kristal like quite a few times and this waiter will always be there. And he's really good-looking. Hmmmm. Maybe I should go to Sakura Kristal again to stare at him soon.....ooohhh, that would be fun.
OK, now I know it kinda shows that I have absolutely nothing better to do other than stalking people. Alia, you're weird.
By the way, I was checking my Monash email the other day and they sent an email to students asking whether they want to receive their exam results via SMS.
The first thought that went through my mind "NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!"
Apparently the people who registered via SMS will get their results faster because they'll receive their results on the 29th while the others will get their results on the 30th.
Can you just imagine how it would be like on the 29th if I register for the SMS thing?
I will get this seemingly innocent SMS from some unknown number. Being the curious person that I am, I will most probably check the SMS. And then..........
.............the results.
And I think I will be so shocked to see my results on my phone screen that I'll faint there and then. OK, fine, so I exaggerate. Most probably I will just scream my lungs out!!!!
I don't think getting the results via SMS is really for me. I would rather take my own sweet time to prepare myself and check my results online. I really do not want to be bombarded with my results when I am totally unprepared because that would be so scary. *shivers*
You know what?
It has just dawned on me that my results are coming out in 5 days.
Oh my God.
I am so not ready.

Passport!
I went and made my passport today for the trip to Hong Kong. Scratch that. My five siblings and I made our passports today for our trip to Hong Kong.
Can you just imagine how chaotic it was for my mum to make the passports for the kids since everyone is below 18 except for me? Anis is only turning 17 the day we come back from Hong Kong.
I dunno why, but the immigration officer behind the counter gave my mum a special number that I think is reserved for senior citizens and other special people because even though I had to do mine first (and separately from everyone else since I didn't need any guardian consent), the kids got their passports first. So instead of me waiting for them, everyone ended up having to wait for me. Geez.
By the way, the said officer was a bit rude and was snappy and looked like he only got three hours of sleep last night. What's pretty ironic is the fact that he's wearing this badge that says "Service with a smile". Service with a smile my butt la!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You know what's funny? I have never, and I mean never, left this country since I came back here from Newcastle as a 5-year-old back in 1993. So in my old passport, there are these two photos: one black-and-white photo of this cute little baby (hehehehehehe) that was taken in 1989, and another one of this smug looking 5-year-old girl, taken the year i came back. Anis' old passport had this picture of a 2-year-old sweet-looking girl.
So, since the last time we used the passports were in 1993, it means that Anis and I have not left this country to go anywhere overseas for FOURTEEN.LONG.YEARS. Wow.
I dunno which tempurung I have been lying under for the past 14 years.
It kinda depresses me that I can't even remember the last time I used my passport.
I will make sure that I WILL USE MY NEW PASSPORT UNTIL THERE ARE NO MORE PAGES LEFT.
I don't care how, I don't care when. I WILL USE IT.
And there's nothing anyone can do to stop me. Unless I don't have the money to travel la. Which will probably be the case. *sighs*

Laziness and boredom is so not good
I dunno why, but I have this thing yea, whenever I'm on a break or a holiday, I tend to NOT blog.
Which is ironic, considering the fact that I have more free time during holidays and can use it to blog.
But then, I didn't blog for almost four months in April and only started to blog again in August, even though I had a three-week break during June-July.
I was starting to feel that way again, but then since I was lying idle and doing practically nothing, I decided to write this post.
So...this week has been a somewhat busy week jugak la to say. I met my dad's future tenant, the "suspicious" Russian guy, yesterday. He's actually not that bad and he's renting the house with his girlfriend. What I like about him is that he wants to redecorate the house and I was soooooooooo happy. Why am I so happy? It's because the house is designed to be almost like my grandmother's house, and so the guy hates the design because it feels old (I quote, "It feels like grandmother and grandfather style. I'm 47, but I like modern style"). Teehee. So he asked my parents to connect him with electrician, interior designers and stuff so that they can give the house a makeover and make it more...modern, and not so stuffy. Finally! Someone with good taste! He is my saviour!
Last night, Zaty and I went out for dinner. She was supposed to pick me up, tapi got some transportation problem, so I picked her up. I dunno why, but everytime we get together, we will always end up talking about nonsense that sometimes none of us can remember about it the next day. Oh yeah, we also talked about what we would be doing in 5 years time. She was also bitching about MARA and about how stupid they are. We talked about how guys in boybands tend to be gay (which is not surprising, considering the type of songs that they sing) and we also got around to talking about voting, since she's turning 21 next year. It's funny how we end up talking about the most random things with people that are close to us.
Today I went to pick up my new IC since I dented the chip on my old one. I also promised Ara that I will teman her for lunch at Dayabumi, where she has an internship with MISC (her sponsors) for the holidays, because she is new there, so she didn't have any friends yet. So to get to Dayabumi, I took the LRT to Central Market. I stopped by KLCC for a while, since I had to kill some time before it was Ara's lunch hour, and I remembered the days when I was in HELP and had to take the LRT to KLCC almost everyday to meet my mum. And it kinda depressed me. Blargh. Oh, but I bought a book in Kinokuniya and that lessen the "depression" (fine, I'm exaggerating :P) that i felt.
So I met up with Ara at 1 o'clock, where she told me about the gripes of working where the people kinda don't appreciate you because you're too young and the main reason you're there is because you're a scholar. Ouch. She was a bit depressed and geram la with her colleagues, because some of them are not really respecting her. Pity her. I would so hate being in her situation.
My three youngest siblings are not around since they're at my uncle's house, my mum is busy with the tenant for my dad's house, and my dad's in Germany. So that meant that Anis, Is and I were left with our maids at home today. I told my maid not to cook to let her rest, so Anis, Is and I went out to eat. We ate at this food court called Dagang Avenue I think. It's near Galaxy Ampang, and a few shops away from Wang Solo. The food was not bad and the place wasn't so crowded. The last time I tried to go there with Nat and Zaty, we got scared because the place was too full, so today it was just nice. We had nasi goreng tom yam, yee mee, claypot chicken rice and sotong kangkung. Yummmyyyyyyy.
I want to find a job. But then, I can't find a job now because I'm going to Hong Kong on Dec 4th, so I can only get a job after that. I don't know what I'm going to do with my free time because I am getting very, very restless. Sigh.
