the glorious days of 4S91614

i get super duper excited today.. n am still a lazy bum. dis weekend is gonna b a frenetic 1! 2 of my gud frenz r get'g married (dubbed s d ”wed’d of d yr” by my twin, Meme) Our history of b'g gud frenz dated way back in the jurassic yrs hi-skool; felt like it ws js ystrday. (aftr all im still 19! …In my dreams!) k, it all began in 1995, Meme n I were in dis ‘boarding’ skool in KL. Not ur typical boarding skool. We board thr in d sense dat we stay thr 2 sleep, go 2 tuition classes n stuffs – its jz a hostel. In dat hostel students went 2 6diff skools. Assunta, BBGS, CBN, CRS, Sri Aman n SAB.

Whn I ws in my form1, my roommates ws Meme, Iena, Irma (yes, d Irma Hasmie) n me (n sum othr pple of course. Bt my story today is abt 4S91614..) N we hv anothr close frenz, Oem who stays in anothr room bt d 4 of them (Meme, Iena, Irma n Oem) were frm d same skool. I m Meme’s twin, so we were practically 2gether eventhough we r not joined in d hip like a siamese twin. So, d 5 of us were close knit fren. We went 2bowling classes together n Iena, Meme n me enrolled in a traditional dance class @d hostel. @times, we spent our weekends in Genting cz Iena’s parents works thr. We used 2get free rooms 2stay n spent our money 4all d rides thr n stuffs. Once we went n brought our bowling bowls w us. U knw d ride 2go up 2 Genting ws all winding road n we can hear our bowling balls hit in2 each othr in d trunks cz @dat time we don’t hv bowling bag. N we tested our bowling skills @d bowling alley thr in Genting. It ws awesome! We were not d senior’s fav for various reasons. Meme n me converse in English @times; ppl don’t like dat, so we were sumwht banned cz we were so ‘snob’ n speaks English. In d morning during sum PE session @d hostel, d seniors will call their most wanted list juniors (those they hated most) n Meme n my name ws alwiz on d list. N also sum othr names (Einayanti, Rozie, Rezan). They’ll shout our names @ d field n ‘invites’ us 2play ‘chapping’. It’s a game whr they use a tennis ball n throw @ppl, n whn sum1 got ‘chapped’ they r considered lost. So, these seniors will chapped each n every1 of us till d bell rings. If we were 2return n chap them, we will b called dat very night 2get sum ‘lecturing’.

Whn we were in form 2, we were told 2go 2an English Language camp. Not all of us went. Bt whn we were thr, we came close with anothr grp of gals who were thr all along @d hostel bt ws sum1 separated frm us (infact we were ‘enemies’ 4reasons I cldnt rmbr). N we became gud frens aftr d camp n then frm d 5 of us, we became 14 a.k.a d 4S91614. Frm various skools we were :

Assunta – Salina, me

BBGS – Meme, Iena, Oem, Irma, Oja

CBN – Rezan, Rozie, Einayanti

CRS – Nadia, Fara, Jackpoot

Sri Aman – Fuzzy

Pic 1 : Us, back then. ~ not gonna tell u whch 1's me ~ (Oem is missing frm dis pic)

Pic 2 : Us, recently. (Iena, Jackpoot n Oem - yet again - missing frm dis pic)

We were d devils! Seriously! We gave d principal of d hostel a very hard time since we were 2gether! Ponteng? Lompat pagar? U name it, we did it. We were notorious! It’s a wonder if our names were not heard b called 2 d principal’s ofc. Nx 2our hostel ws a boys’ hostel. Yes, they knw us. (aftr all, everytime thr’s an announcement made @our hostel, d whole area can hear it, of course they heard!). So, d 14 of us remain gud frenz till form 3 n sum left aftr PMR 2diff skools, bt we kept in contact till today. And of course, along d way, i met my best fren Nasha whn i ws in my Form 4. (myb i'll post a story of how Nasha n i became best frenz..)

Last time we had a gath was a month b4 my wedding. It ws a blast! Its alwiz like dat everytime we had our gath.. we will repeat d same stories n reminisce abt our hi-skool yrs bt we never get bored ovr it. Cz it made us who we r now. Ppl downgraded us so much whn we were in hi-skool cz we were naughty. But its marvellous 2c dat we r do’g great despite all d naughtiness in hi-skool.

So this weekend is gonna b Einayanti n Rezan’s wed’g. As @jz nw, almost all confirmed attendance n Im super duper excited 2meet thm again! Great! Great! Great! I’ll post d pix whn I hv them ready.

the monday blues..

i am officially d most lazy bum, couch potato ever evolved on earth! mondays r d worst day of d week. we ws so complacent n eager with d marvellous weekend; n suddenly d freaking monday comes n u jz wish it ws friday!! i hate monday! unless its my bday. bt my bday's gonna b on wednesday dis yr. so; i so freaking hate monday!

im 'ronaldo' today.. (when i say 'ronaldo' im refering to d stupid cristiano ronaldo who whines n threw tantrums whn he ws asked 2b substituted during d match.) i am a whiner today. so lazy dat i blog hop since morning, updated dis blog a cple of times (which is so not me) n tried to stay away from doing my work (without success). my ofcmate got worried dat i stayed @my table, eyes glued to my pc since morning. he tot im so hardworking, i shld walk a bit so i dont get backaches n he thinks im paid so little, i shld not b working so hard cz it aint worth it! ha - ha! neway, i blog hopped n found 1 describing on d writer's moving house experience. i tot i shld write abt mine s well..

i moved out frm my parents hse to a small aptmt (a.k.a d 'roof') not so far frm my ofc last may. soulmate n i went hse hunting starting frm d beginning of d year. tiring! since early april, whn we got d key 2d 'roof', we didnt hv time 2clean it cz we were bz w d wedding preparation. right aftr d wedding, while we were away on hnymn, i got a good samaritan (abg sapin) 2help with cleaning d 'roof'. so, whn we got back, we started shopping, buy ourselves d sultan mattress dat we've been eyeing 4 n our dinner table frm ikea (yes, we went ikea frenzy dat day.. but it ws worth buying!not s expensive s most ppl tot!), made n arrangement w a fren (jo) cz i need 2rent hs lorry. but he didnt hv d lorry available @day time, so we hd 2do it around 8pm. soulmate n i started packing, re-attached d bed, wardrobe n all our stuffs @my parents' hse. we didnt realize dat my mom planned 2tag along n help us 2move hse n she asked every1(my family) 2join s well.

@around 9pm, evrythng ws finally been loaded in d lorry, jo went on aftr reconfirmed d direction 2d 'roof'. we went abt half n hour later n ws stuck on d road cz of d traffic caused by d wesak parade thingy. (jz wht i need!). then d drama begins.. d 'roof' is on d fourth floor. thr ws only 1 elevator functioning! can u imagine carrying wardrobe, dressing table, refrigerator + washing machine (wedding pressie frm mom n dad. THANK YOU!!!!), n everythng on earth??? (ok, not dat i carried it. soulmate got his fair share of carrying n lifting d stuffs). then mom's entourage (d whole lovely family) arrived n they helped with d lifting n carrying. yana, my niece kept on saying to me; "ibu, napa kosong ni??" referring 2d state of nothingness in our 'roof'. im dumbfounded. (Actually, she kept on asking dumbfounding question to me. a day after my wedding, she asked me, "ibu, ibu kn dh kawen, mana baby ibu?". i repeat, a day after my wedding u guys.. ya ALLAH!! pls drop me a comment, lemme knw wht u think shld b d answer 2such question! cz i couldnt find my tongue aftr hearing her question!) we finished carrying our stuffs around 11.30pm. after everyone got home, (hugs n kisses here n thr) i felt a pang of grief cz thr n then my life is not going 2b d same ever again. we continued with installing our bed n wardrobe, bt soulmate wasnt a handyman whn he is sleepy (it ws reaching 1am), so we decided 2sleep on d newly bought sultan matress in d hall cz bedroom ws definitely not gonna b ready dat night. it took us another month before d 'roof' is somewht ready. now aftr more than a month, whn soulmate said 'home sweet home', refering to our 'roof' while we drove past it ystrday, i cldnt agree more. it may not be perfect, its far from it. thr's always somethg dat we need 2buy. but wht's important, its home 2us. dats whn i realize d phrase; home is whr d heart is. so true..

the whatever!

the confession

b4 i begin 2blabber abt my 'confession'; my wedding pic (soulmate's reception) is ready. but 2day im feeling 'chatty'. thrfore, d photos can wait.

k, i think i lost my touch. yupsy.. lost it. wait.. hello??? wht dya hv in mind? i meant abt my work, @d ofc! im just x me anymore. since d month long wedding 'vacation'. i got back 2d ofc n i went blur on wht i shld b do'g. i ws a minimum level perfectionist. *** d history of being perfectionist goes back frm my dad who's very meticulate abt almost everythg. he files everythg, he counts every penny i owe him (yes, he oversees my credit card bill n took note of my spending ~yup, d last time i checked, im still a 4 yr old 2him, bt thank GOD 4dat!~) he changes his clothes ever so often cz he jz dont like crumpled or a drop of sweat on his shirt (i think). Even whn he took a nap 4 jz 5mins, he'l categorise shirt he wore whn he took his nap (which he changed in2 purposely 4his nap time) as 'ready 4 laundry'. he never accepts other than A 4our exam results (not dat i obey). he alwiz corrects us; n if we were to drive, he's even worse than d JPJ , shouting @us "gv ur signal!"; if d car's been washed, nobody's suppose to use it; even if u need to reach sahara, thye shall walk ur way thr! yours truly, on d other hand, r so used 2 d torment, dat i m also becoming like him. ****

whn i ws sitting nx to K.Ina (my officemate) i make sure my desk was properly organised. b4 i get back home, i'll jot down wht im suppose 2do d next morning so i wont overlook it. thrfore, d nx morning, i jz refer 2my notes n continue my 'leftover' works. but then i went 4a month long holiday 4my wedding. on my last day @d ofc, i stayed back late. trying 2finish everything n jot down d lists of tasks dat k. Zeehan (who's taking over my job 4a month) ws supposed 2do while im away. n i managed 2move 2another plc @d ofc (ive been instructed since last year 2shift 2a cubicle nearby my boss' room so he could 'monitor' me. n ive been delaying it bcz i ws so busy; but @d same time i shifted stuffs 2d 'new' ofc bits by bits. thrfore my files r here n thr. since i ws going 2hv a long leave, i shifted everythg on d last day so K. Zeehan dont need 2run frm 1wing 2another 2locate d files). so whn i got back @d ofc last month, piles of works r waiting 4me. n w d new ofc environment, it ws way too awkward 4me, s if its my 1st day working! ive jz lost touch. I didnt knw whr 2start, so i did d 1st thing i cld which is filing! seriusly, way too many things to file. dat ws only a month leave! it got me thinking, "no more long holidays". n 2take over d job frm sum1 else (d job which is technically mine), its jz confusing! (nw i knw hw k. Zeehan ws feeling whn she took over my job.) i used to hv a white board @d old ofc, its my planner. i jot down everythng thr, any reminders, upcoming events, stuffs.. n i didnt take it along w me whn i moved plc, so every now n then i get confused w all d dates n events. in short - im getting crazy!

ok, 4get abt work 4a while. last weekend i went back 2my parents'. my mom called telling me i shld get back n pick up all my letters. n thr's 1 she hs already opened. d 1 calling me 2go 4anothr so-called-govt 'interview'. 2b honest, ive already given up, its my 3rd time tryg. if they didnt want me, its their loss! furthermore, its on d day whr i hv other thgs planned. thrfore, soulmate advised me 2call them n change d date (im waiting 4 their response). we stayed overnight n d nx morning (saturday) went pressie hunting 4Dikna, soulmate's cousin *technically, my cousin too*. I think its d 1st time we went 2mv aftr our wedding. so weird, considering its our dating spot! hehe! we went frm 1end 2d othr 4a cple of times cz i ws a bit picky on d pressie. (poor soulmate, he hd 2endure my fussy-ness!). finally we got wht we want n head back home.

ystrday aftr we had our lunch, we went 2d bday party n clebrated Dikna's bday. it made me realize its been a while since i last clebrated my bday w a cake. d last time i had 1 ws whn i ws in d uni. i hv a bunch of frens n we love 2arrange surprise bday clbration. its my turn in 2005. i ws 17 (in my dreams!) n i ws drenched frm top 2 toe @12am while talking on d phone w soulmate (who called to wish me happy bday) it ws chaotic! initially i ws so angry cz they almost drowned my hp n they were disturbing my conversation w soulmate, bt then they handed me d candle-lit-burning cake, n i 4gave them! it ws fun nonetheless! then, 3years without bday cake.last yr my twin n i even openly hinting evry1 dat we wanted a cake bcz our bday ws on d last day of puasa, yet nobody bother. so, i dont expect 1 dis yr.

ok, back 2reality.. tonnes of workloads r waiting. im lazy.. seriusly am so freaking lazy..
