Life of a Jobless Girl

Wow, it has been more than a month since I my last update. Seriously, I didn't know what to update about since there's just so much to update on.. NOT! Haha. I've been doing nothing at home. Just eating and sleeping and eating and sleeping and downloading too many series and movies.


The weekdays are just such a bore since no one is ever home except me, but the weekends are sometimes filled with some kind of activity. I've been going to Shah Alam/Klang/KL for god knows how many times during this 'holiday'. My grandparents also came all the way from Sarawak. They spent like a whole month here in Semenanjung, two weeks in Shah Alam, two in Melaka, spent a weekend in Terengganu (me and my sis stayed at home), and another weekend in Penang. Berjalan sakan my grandparents!

Went to KL and had a blast lepaking with them :D

Went to Klang and ended up celebrated Mokte's becoming birthday

Penang was okay, I guess. We didn't go the touristy places (where I soooo wanted to go), so that means I'm still not satisfied. Kena pegi lagiiii. Dah lameee nak pusing-pusing tempat pelancongan kat Penang tu tapi xkesampaian. Last time I pusing there was when I was a cute lil' girl. Lame dah kut. One day Penang, one day. Tunggu jek. Hehe

Somewhere in Penang

So for now, I'll just stay home and try to menternak lemak, which is still unsuccessful. I'm still the same weight I was when I finished UTP. Ahakz. Tapi kalau ikut BMI dah almost normal dah: 18.6, still underweight, just 0.4 more to reach normal. If you wanna believe the 40sen penimbang berat kat Ampang Point  laaaaa. Hahaha

Okeh, cam dah merapu. Taaa

Welcome 2011 :)

I know it's already the second day of the new year but yeahhh, just got back from boring, old Kerteh. Sorry kutuk. Haha. Went to KL on Thursday to settle a few things with the family and headed to Kerteh on Friday to accompany my Dad for the weekend. I feel like a nomad. I've been to Kerteh twice in 3 weeks. KL tayah cakapla. Macam baru lepak Suria KLCC je hari tu? Refer previous post. Did I mention it was the raining season up there in Kerteh? So, me being clever, I just wore these precious Crocs that I bought in Singapore during the Raya holidays. I also wore it the last time I came. Tak perlu pakai selipar cantik2. Too many puddles and what not. Haha.

In my favourite colour :)

Anyways, there was no celebration for the new year. Just stayed home and watched the live concert on TV. Waited until the countdown and went to bed. Pathetic, right? Haha. Tak kesah pon. It's just like any other day. When you put a title for that day, then suddenly that day becomes special kann. Betol tak? Anyways, I was practically on a mission to buy my own set of Monopoly Deal. Cari kat semua tempat pon xjumpe. Okay, okay. Just cari kat Melaka and Suria je hari tu. And who would've guessed I ended up buying it at Toys R Us, Kerteh kan?  Well, Mini Toys R Us. Dah buhsan kat sane, g la maen kat Starbucks. (Tak sangka semua ni ade kat Kerteh kan? HAHAHAHA)

Tengok2, saye ade atuk! Hehe

K bye nak mandi. Baru sangat sampai dr Kerteh niii. Really want to blog about my New Year's Resolution but I haven't given much thought on it. Wait for the next post yeee. 

Kembali aktif?

I used to be a very active blogger. So the active part is kinda exaggerating. But the point is, I stopped. Due to several factors. Lets list them down quickly.

1. Heartbroken. (A very old story. HAHA)
2. No time to write.
3. The internet sucked. BIG TIME. 
4. Malas. Tapi sebenarnya, I have too many things to write until I dunno how to start. *wink2

That's about it. Malas nak fikir dah O_O


So, since I don't have anything better to do at home (and the internet is soooo FAST), I guess I will be updating often. Hehe


I'm currently supposed to tanam anggur but since I don't have any land, I gotta find something else to do. Huk3.


Yesterday I spent the whole day at Suria KLCC just for the sake of it. My mom got a meeting there so, my sis, cousin and me, ended up following so we weren't stuck bored at home. There were major sales everywhere. But I didn't buy anything. Rugii je. Haha. But the main point is, we went to PETROSAINS. Of alllll the places in there kannnn.

But to tell you the truth, it was kinda cool. You really have a greater appreciation of the things there when you just finished a degree in Chemical Engineering. I have practically been exposed of all things in PETROSAINS for 5 years. So, it wasn't THAT lame. Hehe.  But just never go there during school holidays. NEVER. That was not a wise choice to do.

KK Trip

Last two weeks, I went to KK with my friends, that consisted of Ella, Odah, Syaji, Ain, Yasmin, Embun and Epit. It was planned like 5 months in advance. Orang sibuk sibuk baru nak start intern, ktorang da plan nak pegi bercuti. Teruk kan? T_T We took that opportunity sebab time tu, tiket kapal terbang sangat murah! It was a 5-day trip that consisted us going to every part of Borneo, except Kalimantan and Brunei. Here was how it went.

6th November 2009
Since the flight to Miri was at 7.25am the next morning, I headed to KL straight after work. Well, not straight after work. Kena balek rumah dulu, abeskan packing yang tak abes abes tu. I went to Odah and Mya's place. Dah berjaya pegi rumah dorang tanpa kesesatan! *Bangga* After waiting for Odah to finish packing, we went to have dinner at this place called Q Bistro where the waiters used PDAs to take our orders. Gile cool kan? We waited for Ain as we were going to sleepover at her place that night. After that, surprise surprise! Mya menghilangkan diri and bawak birthday cake to our table to celebrate your's truly punye birthday. Thanks Mya! Since I didn't get to blow the candles for my own birthday celebration the other day, I was eager to blow this one out. Haha.

7th November 2009
After the small celebration, the three of us, me, Odah and Ain, headed to Ain's house. We arrived there about 12am and we had to quickly get ready for bed since we had to wake up at 3 in the morning to go to KL Sentral so that we can go to LCCT by bus. Ayyo, sangat tak cukup tidur! T_T Nasib baek boley bangun, kalau tak, selamatlah trip tu. Lepak KL jelah jawabnye. Hehe. Ain's older sister sent us there and we met up with Ella, Syaji and Bai who were from Syaji's house. Dapat la kejar bus pukul 4.30 pagi tuh. Sampai sampai je KL Sentral tu, ktorang terus check-in beg and g lepak kt OldTown. Lepak punye lepak sampai xsedar da nak dekat pukul 7. Dengan tak sembahyang Subuhnya lagi. Adoi2. Ktorang berkejar2 pegi surau and bile kuar surau, terdengarlah nama nama anak dara yang bertuah kena panggil kat speaker. Haha. Malu weh. Nasib baik tak kena tinggal ;P

Our first flight was to Miri first because we had to pick up Embun and Yasmin dulu (macam naek kete lak kan. Haha). We arrived there about 10.00 am, so we just hung out at the airport and waited for them to come and also for our next flight to KK at 1.30pm. The Miri-KK flight just took 20 minutes. Ni pulak macam naek bas je! Epit was already there when we arrived, so he took us straight to our hotel. After a short rest, we were set to find a place to eat since all of us were starving! Jalan punye jalan, we ended up eating at the waterfront (tu kut panggilan die).

After the lunch-dinner combo, we went to Warisan Square. It's like a shopping mall, but with an open air concept. Sangat pelik. Sampai sesat kut jalan dalam tu. Lepas shopping sket (ni mmg btol sket je sbb Ella yang banje. Hee), we tried to go back to our hotel. Time tu, our travel guide (Epit) pegi manetah dengan Ain, so we had to find our own way back to the hotel. So, we got lost again. Haha. Tah mane ktorang pegi. Lame gak sesat, dahlah time tu dah lepas maghrib, tapi rase macam pukul 10 malam da sebab da sangat gelap, padahal baru pukul 6 lebih. Last2 lepas tanya tanya orang, dapat gak jumpa hotel tu. Balek2 bilik sume kepenatan gila. Semangat je nak tengok match Kelantan-Negeri Sembilan tu, tapi baru first half da tertidur. At about 1030pm, Ain came knocking at our door, to wake us up. Lupe lak nk pegi tengok wayang pkl 11 lebih punye tiket. Lawak kan? Pegi jaoh jaoh, pastu pegi tengok wayang gak. Macam kat sini takde wayang pulak. Adoi adoi. So, we were practically dragged to the cinema. We were like sleepwalking and following Ain and Epit's lead. But, it was worth it. The movie was fun. Gedik yang best ;P

8th November 2009
The next morning, we had to wake up early so we could go to the Sunday Market. It was a once in a week thing, so if we missed it, it would be our lost. It was fun shopping there. Banyak la jugak dibeli ;)

The next agenda was going snorkelling! So, we walked quite a distance from our hotel to Jesselton Point, and take a boat ride there to Pulau Manukan and Sapi. First, we headed to Pulau Manukan, where some of us were going parasailing. Waa. Excited! Parasailing is like being tied onto a kite and someone controlling you at the bottom. Sangat besh!

After that, Odah and me went snorkelling and there was these two nice lifeguards who were off duty that took us snorkelling to the deep water parts. The fish and coral reefs were beautiful :) Thanks for the help! If tak, tak berani nak pegi jauh jauh sebab tak reti berenang. Hehe. Then, all of us headed to the next island, Pulau Sapi to do more snorkelling. Balek balek tu memang sangat sunburn, walaupon da sapu sunblock SPF 50 da kut T_T Before heading back to our hotel, we had an early dinner. Malam tu pegi jalan jalan kat market yang bukak stiap hari tu and tengok live band performance kat bawah hotel ktorang je. Then later, me and Odah were quite excited to watch the Man Utd - Chelsea game, but we only lasted until half-time. Dah sangat penat and mengantuk time tuh. And yeah, Man Utd lost :(

9th November 2009
Embun and Yasmin left for Miri at about 7++ in the morning. So, there was only 6 of us now. Today, we were going mountain-climbing! Okay, technically, it is true. Tapi naek kereta jelah. Hehe. Epit rented this Toyota Avanza that came along with a cute driver. *wink wink* I dunno how many hours it took to get there because I was spacing out in the car. Hehe. First, we went to Kinabalu Park where we enjoyed the coolness of the place. After that, we headed to Poring. Ade canopy walk and hot springs there. Kat cni adelah gak kena panjat gunung skett. Sangat penat! Padahal panjat tak sampai 10 minit pon. Haha. Nampak sangat takde stamina. Yelaa. Cemane la nak ade stamina kalau asyik makan je time intern ni. Skang da rase gemok T_T Oh, Epit berjaya kenakan aku mase tengah 'panjat' gunung tu. Pandai eh die gunekan kefobiaan aku terhadap pacat tuk kenakan aku. Takpe takpe. Huu. On the way down the mountain, we had our lunch. The food was quite different. Masakan die pelik sket, tapi sebab lapar, ngap jelaa. That night, we went to find cheap DVDs and later ate dinner at SugarBun while listening to the live band performance again. Honestly, they were quite good. :)

10th November 2009
We spent the whole morning at the Filipino market shopping. Macam macam beli. Kat cni lah start pokai. Haha. Tah ape dibelinya pon taktau. Adoyai. After that, we went back to our hotel room to start packing and check-out of the hotel because we were heading to Labuan. Nak naek tongkang je ni! Hee. Kidding. We were going to Menumbok by bus, which was like a 2 hour journey and we will take a speedboat there to Labuan. Seriously, mase naek speedboat tu, rase macam pelarian naek tongkang! (See, I told you we were going to Labuan by tongkang. Well, macam jela. Hehe) Tengok tengok. Ni mase baru gerak.

Pastu bile da gerak, tetiba da ujan. Basah dorang! Haha. Ktorang duk opposite dorang sangat bernasib baek ;P

That night, after chocolate-shopping, we just hung out at Epit's house, where he and Ain prepared dinner for us. Nyum nyum. Sedap! Hehe. Kelaparan la katekan. After that, sume orang pon sebuk sebuk nak register course untuk next sem, nak pilih major sume tu. Nasib baek da setelkan awal awal. Thanks Sue, registerkan ;) By the way, Epit's place was really huge! Astro pon ade. Dahla tak payah bayar pape. Besh gle! Tapi sebab kat Labuan kan. Buhsan wehh. (I know this because I've on a holiday there for one week, and memang sangat buhsan)

11th November 2009
Today was our last day of the trip. Our flight back to KL was at 10.25am so Epit took us for breakfast before heading to the airport. I practically slept the whole way back in the plane. Penat sgt la katekan. Oh, lupe. Ella had to chase her 2.00pm train to Segamat from KL Sentral. We arrived at LCCT at 12.45pm. So we, chased for the 1.00pm bus to KL Sentral and arrived there at about 2.00pm ++. Turun turun bus, Ella and Syaji pegi kejar train, while we took care of Syaji's bag. Luckily, the train was delayed for about 45 minutes, so sempat la Ella nak naek.After, lunch at KL Sentral's KFC, the remaining 4 of us dragged our bags naek LRT (kut). Mule mule turun kat Masjid Jamek, then dari situ, naek pegi Bandar Tun Razak. Penat weh angkat beg tuh. Ain's car was parked at that station. So, we headed to her house, transferred some pics (sempat lagi tu) and then Ain sent me, Syaji and Odah to Odah's house to get my car. We hung out at Odah's house awhile, and after that, I sent Syaji to her house before I headed home. I arrived home at about 7.00 pm. Esok dahla keje pulak tu T_T

So, that was my trip. Sangat penat and sakit di poket, but it was worth it! Next destination...LANGKAWI! Hee

P.S. I lost my new perfume that my dad bought for me. My theory is, it was stolen while my bag was transferred from airport to airport because I noticed the security thing that was stuck to my zippers, was kinda ripped (meaning it was zipped open). I didn't lock my bag, thinking there was nothing precious inside that bag besides my underwear. Haha. Kidding. Kejam kejam kejam pencuri tu. So, just a short reminder, please lock your bag, walaupon there's nothing precious in it. Huu. Kena beli baru :(

A Family Affair

Yesterday, I went out with my sister. We planned to watch Papadom. And the movie rocks! It was sooooooo damn funny! It was also quite sad. There were two scenes in particular that was really touching and I actually cried. The tears were flowing! If I were to rate this movie, I would give it a 10! I don't want to give spoilers for the movie, so don't forget to watch it, okay? I would love to watch it again, so don't for get to ajak me! Hehe.

Anyways, we arrived at Dataran Pahlawan at about 1.30pm and planned to watch the 2.40pm slot. But it was full! Darn it. So, we opted to watch the 5.20pm slot. That meant we had 4 hours to kill before the movie started. That was quite a wrong decision because I ended up shopping. Even with a limited budget, I managed to. Errh. I was supposed to save money for my trip next week! (Siyes tak sabar nak pegi!) Tapi takpe. It wasn't that much because I (konon2nye) was shopping for that trip. Bagi alasan tuk sedapkan hati. Haha. I bought an ear ring, a pair of sandals and my sister bought me a necklace for my upcoming birthday. Well, actually, I practically forced her to buy it for me. Hehe.

Due to the boredom we had to face waiting for that movie, we ended up cam-whoring in the dressing rooms.

After the movie, we waited for the rest of the family to come and we ended up eating at Oldtown. My sis took a picture of my dad using the sequence mode on my phone where it takes 18 photos in a row. This is one of them. The rest are my pictures of my dad making funny faces.

Oh, here's another interesting story. On Friday night, the whole family (minus my 19 year old brother) went to eat at...

I know. Ade branch kat Melaka dah skang! It's on the rooftop of Dataran Pahlawan. The food was okay but there was one downside. We ended being basah kuyup after a 'It's raining men!' moment. Haha. Tak tau ape kaitannya tapi memang hujan lebat gle la afterwards. So from being really really dry...

We ended up being up like this..

Well, the whole family did.

(My 17-year-old brother took the picture)

Don't blame the rain. Blame the location of the restaurant; an isolated island on the rooftop of DP. They should figure something out to solve this problem, or their customers will have to end up playing in the rain in order to go home, especially during this rainy season.

P.S. After the shopping spree (la sangat), I ended up with more things that I wanted to buy. I'll update my wishlist later ;)

raya sudah habis!

Monday was the last day of Syawal and now we're already into a new month. This year's Raya has got to be my most hectic one ever. There was an open house to attend to every weekend. Macam abang ipar Mya cakap masa malam marhaban tu, " Tengok, raya kat Johor sampai sebulan. Kat Kelantan 3 hari pon da cukup." This wasn't his exact words, this is just what I remembered, so forgive me if I'm wrong ye Mya?

This year, like every year, we balik beraya at Kuching, my mom's kampung. It was fun, because I get to see my cute little cousins, like this one:

SO CUTE, right? And so heavy! But I love him to bits! He loves me too! ;) Since he can't pronounce my name, he just calls me 'Kaka', you know like that cute footballer...

Okay, so he doesn't look that cute in this picture since he's sweaty and all and this picture is not up-to-date because he's playing for Real Madrid now, but just leave it like this, alright? He's not even supposed to be in the discussion. Lari dari topik pulak. In short, this was how my raya weekends went:

25/09/09

The weekend after we got back from Kuching, Nana, Epit, Zik Junior and Abu came to my house for an ad-hoc open house. (ad-hoc open house? Haha). Since both Nana and Epit were from over-the-sea, this was the only time they could come. But thanks for coming! Terharu SANGAT!

03/10/09-04/10/09

The next Saturday, my roommate since foundation second semester (nak gak cakap tu.hee), Ella, wanted to come to Malacca and at the same time, she ajak me to beraya kat KL to which I agreed to. So, she slept at my house on Friday night and we went open-house hunting the next day , from Mya and Odah's house to Syaji's house to Jibah's and finally Alia's house. Oh, lupe lak. Ktorg pegi beraya kt Midvalley gak, open house kt Chilli's. Hihi. That night, we went jalan2 kat downtown pulak. It was one hell of a day! We had a sleepover at Syaji's and I went to Izzah's open house on Sunday. Ended the day by gossipping with Mya for a few hours before heading home. Kan Mya kan? ;P

09/10/09-10/10/09
Friday was a public holiday for Melaka ( TYT's birthday) and since it fell on a Saturday, Friday was declared a holiday for my company (this is the ONLY reason why I like interning here). Mokte, together with Mat Yie and Hazwan, arrived at my house in the wee hours of Friday morning; sempat sembahyang Subuh at my house and then I took them out for breakfast. After that, the girls gossiped 'till Mokte felt sleepy while the guys headed to Agan's. Dalam pukul 5, I pegi bawak dorg jalan-jalan. Menara Taming Sari, River Cruise, Kota A'Famosa, Jonker Walk and Eyes on Malaysia. Just typical tourist hotspots. I never went to Jonker Walk before, so I was the most excited to go. I didn't actually know where it was x_X but we managed to find it. Sanggup jalan kaki dari MP kut (orang Melaka sure tau betapa jauhnya Jonker Walk and MP). Macam I plak yg pelancong kan?

The next day, was my open house. Tunggu orang2 jauh datang. Geng2 KL and Segamat. Unfortunately, the car from Segamat got involved in an accident. My room mate included; so she couldn't make it. I was quite bummed out. It was still a blast, though. I also ended up being a tour guide for Geng KL (Syaji, Odah, Mya and Bai) sbb dorg nak jalan2 pusing Melaka. Dahla baru bawak Mokte jalan smlm kan, tapi naseb baek dorang nak naek Menara Taming Sari (lagi!) je. If not, I seriously need to think of taking another degree. Tourism, probably. HAHA. (Ade ke degree tu?)

17/10/09-18/10/09
The last weekend of Raya took me to....Senawang! Dah lama GLE tak pegi rumah Dayah! I used to singgah2 at her house when she tumpang me from UTP. But since she has her own car now, dah jarang. Wuu. This is the first time in 5 months since all of us got to berkumpul as we were interning far from each other. After Dayah's open house, Mya, Sue and me departed for Batu Pahat, since there is a marhaban at Mya's house. This is the FIRST time JKD actually sampai ke kampung halamannya. After almost 3 years. So sad. Hee.

So, that ends my most hectic Raya ever! See you next year! (Raya, I mean)
