I'm so lazy, I should be punished!!!

I am sooo lazy that I can’t even blog daily. I’m juz, 2 damn lazy!

I’m a bit bummed that my semester break is for a mere 2 weeks! That shouldn’t even be considered a semester break, more like, a 3 hour rest from what my brain will have to endure. Especially next sem. So much subject I am taking, Chemistry 2 and Mathematics 3 being two of them. Then there’s Computer 2 and FIM (which requires a lot of penghafalan, damn!). I’m gonna be one “hot mess” next sem, haha!

I guess until then, freedom is in my hand. And I shall use it 100% starting with waking up at literally 1 pm every single day at home so far. Its very weird, I’ve never woken up so late before, thank god my parents don’t bother to wake me up. I guess they understand how, my brain is just simply tired. Its so tired that I find myself even sleeping in the evening!!! I mean, I never tidur petang. A big no-no, if I do, there’s no way I can sleep during the night.

So anyways, to a more interesting matter, I am currently reading Angels & Demons. Ironically of course, the movie is out, and here I am reading the book. I gave it as a present for my dad, and he didn’t read it. Primarily because he’s reading a book written by Imam Al-Ghazali. My mom did warned me to not give myself a book as a present, nevertheless a thriller regarding Vatican City and how Christianity is in danger as my mom wants my dad to read more on Islamic books. Understood, but I can’t help myself.

When I buy my parents a gift, I try to buy something that even I can benefit. Usually food in the form of a cake. X P Or, a book! Well look how it turns out, I’m reading it for this semester break and already on page 189. The last sem break I read Confessions of A Shopaholic. The 1st sem break was spent reading Twilight! So there you go, a lot of reading during semester breaks.

So far this book has been interesting, it really makes me istighfar now and then for its deep Christianity content. But I am confident with my faith, it will not be shaken. Not by this fictional book anyway. But it definitely make me want to visit the Vatican City one day, it sounds like a place with a great architectural view. I am sure The Holy City of Mecca is a gazillion times better, 4 sho!

So this Saturday I am going back to Batu Pahat, looking forward!!! My Cik Zai is going to masak my most favourite of all Jawa food, Nasi Ambang!!! I just love, love, love Nasi Ambang. Somehow its those kind of food that just unite the people who eats them, y’know the whole eating in a dulang thing. I love it! We did it before during Engenius Appreaciation Night. I truly enjoyed myself during that time, too bad we didn’t cam-whore, would have posted it.

I’ve been planning to go to PD to spend some time with my cousins Iqa & Iqbal. My parents wouldn’t let me, in their head, “Buat apa duk rumah orang, macam kita takde rumah je.” Apa nak buat kan, dah parents fikir camtu. But its not like it’s a friends house, its my cousin!!! A close cousin lak tu… I guess they won’t let me go because I haven’t spend much time with them, masa short sem ni pun I dah tak selalu balik. Asyik stay je weekends, I can’t go home always. I need to be away from them in order for me to be, to realize how much I love them. Or not I’ll end up taking them for granted. X C

So anyways, the plan is that dalam perjalanan balik dari Batu Pahat, my dad will send me to Iqa’s house at PD. Alang-alang lah katakana, dalam perjalanan gitu. My dad tu cakap je, will he materialize it god knows!

What else… Oh yeah! The Hills!!!


Lately I’ve been watching a lot of The Hills! And I mean a lot!!! Okay admittedly, primarily its because I love watching the 1st season. It was the season that, I truly like Heidi’s character. She was so real. Stripped of her make-up, stripped of her stupid slang that she starts to adopt when she started to date Spencer and stripped of her dream to be this superstar. I just love the real Heidi, the 1st season Heidi. So the next thing you know, I was watching the second, and third season.

ALL THIS DURING STUDY WEEK & EXAM WEEK!!! Can you imagine, studying Physics, Chem Lab & Computer while watching The Hills. It was literally, Interference of Waves - Spencer & LC drama, Ideal Gas Law – Brody & Jen Bunney hooked up then Microcomputers – Heidi moved out of the apartment. It was literally study with drama all mixed up, X D

The most ironic part was that, since between my engineering roommates, I was the first to MERDEKA. My last paper was Computer, then I was free!!! My roommates on the other hand have a 2.30 paper, MATH 2!!! So while they were preparing for the exam, I was enjoying my freedom by watching the 3rd season of The Hills. So Ilee was going to eat her lunch and she asked me, “Atiqah, ko nak sikit tak?” generously offering her lunch to me.

And I find myself, unconsciously of course, replying to her. “No thanks, I’m like… FULL.” Then we both sort of burst into laughter, I was in my “The Hills” accent. It was so ridiculous.
I realized I’ve typed enough, I will try to update me blog more often.

BASUH BAJU PAKAI TANGAN!!!

Among many things that I have learned while living in a dormitory (sort of, I don’t know if Mahallah Aisyah cuts it) is that sometimes, and not all the time (but since there’s only 3 *beep*ing washing machine in this HUGE dorm, it’s ALMOST ALL THE TIME) I’ve come to the conscious that once in a while, washing clothes with my bare hands is necessary. *groans* Not my favourite thing to do, simply because most of the girls here lived in a dorm before so basically they can wash their clothes with their eyes closed but me!!! Mua!!! I’m new mmmaaa! The trip back from washing clothes with my own hand is almost always filled with laughter and cynical comments as I always go back half-drenched, soaking wet from top to toe. Like, I just had a shower. *sigh*

I’m getting good at it though, *lied*. Okay I’m not, that’s why my strategy is to wash my clothes when other girls are in class: Monday evening. Puurrfect! I just did it a few hours ago, and it worked. They weren’t so many girls, just two who saw me (my trousers especially) soaking wet. So it wasn’t that embarrassing I suppose. I can get half-drenched now without worrying about the snickers and… eye-rolling.
I realized I haven’t updated my profile in like, a gazillion years. Totally aware of that.

But now with finals over, I can now officially try 2 update it every single day. Insya-Allah...

KUWAIT, HERE I COME!!!

So the day started on a bad note. My dad was all in a bad mood. My mom and I planned 2 go 2 Midvalley 2 find myself a nice pair of trousers and a jumper. Didn't happen. Thanx 2 my dad "spring cleaning" fever. Yelling me to do this, yelling me to do that. *groans* Like I'm a semi-adult now, wats wrong wif asking me nicely.

Instead we went 2 some unknown shopping mall which is sooo hollow and lacking of visitors. Like it was literally, the most boring shopping mall I've ever been. It was juz like, filled wif chinese stores and chinese customers. Medan Selera diaorg sucks! Makanan semua sejuk2, =<

The day b4, I've promised a friend 2 lepaq at maple. When things seem unlikely 2 happen, it finally did. And I'm glad I did hang out wif topeq, ayuq & iqmal. They're my drinking buddies in a way (minus ze alcohol). Yesterday we covered every topic possible, from excess skin out of dieting, types of dies (low carbs & even tapeworm diet), some professional bicycle rider in these ridiculously  tight shorts to... to everything really. Among the main topics discussed was how Topeq looked skinny! I mean, that dude lost some major weight alright. And the zac efron hairdo, wwwooo...

The next thing you know its almost isyak. I did sum last minute packing, faruq finally came 2 give me & my parents a ride. At first it was a bit awkward... But I 2tally got over it when I was on the phone with my best friend, Zara. At the airport, as we ate our dinner at McD, we waited hours it seems 2 check in our bag. And now I'm waiting outside the C gate b4 entering the aeroplane. Now its 1:28 and the plane is at 3:30 am. Can u imagine??? Dat is a long2 way 2 go alrite. Hopefully when I land in Kuwait I will get 2 update me blog. HOLLA!

Sincerely,
Atiqah!

9 Things To Dread

People who point at their wrist while asking for the time.... I know where my watch is pal, where the hell is yours? Do I point at my crotch when I ask where the toilet is?

People who are willing to get off their ass to search the entire room for the T.V.. remote because they refuse to walk to the T.V. and change the channel manually.

When people say 'Oh you just want to have your cake and eat it too'. Damn right! What good is cake if you can't eat it?

When people say 'it's always the last place you look'. Of course it is. Why the hell would you keep looking after you've found it? Do people do this? Who and where are they? Gonna kick their asses!

When people say while watching a film 'did you see that?'. No Loser, I paid $12 to come to the cinema and stare at the damn floor.

People who ask 'Can I ask you a question?'.... Didn't really give me a choice there, did ya sunshine?

When something is 'new and improved!'. Which is it? If it's new, then there has never been anything before it. If it's an improvement, then there must have been something before it, couldn't be new.

When people say 'life is short'. What the hell?? Life is the longest damn thing anyone ever does!! What can you do that's longer?

When you are waiting for the bus and someone asks 'Has the bus come yet?'. If the bus came would I be standing here, dumbass?

PROCASTINATION!!!

I feel so unproductive throughout Hari Raya Haji’s holiday. I mean literally, unproductive (well I don’t mean sexually of course!). Not contributing at all to my family, I mean, I still haven’t had the hunch to like, learn to cook in the kitchen yet. I was just plain lazy for the whole week. Nothing was done, not one tuto not even one note. I haven’t even flipped to see the “ole2x” that my Math’s teacher left me with. I can only blame myself and my best friend a.k.a PROCASTINATION.

GOD!!! What am I becoming!!! I’m just sssooo lazy, I don’t know why?! I still haven’t hit me that I am in a friggin “semi-college” (since I’m studying at CFS, not technically a University yet).

The only thing I’m proud to announce here is that I have finished reading Eclipse, the third installment of Stephanie Meyer’s Twilight novels. And for the record, WORLD, I am on TEAM JACOB. I don’t know why? I just tend to root for the underdogs, maybe because I can relate to them or something. From my team, Tottenham Hotspurs to my celebrity crushes. I don’t crush on Johnny Depp or Brad Pitt, I prefer private man like Eric Bana. Anyway back to point, I finally finished all 600 pages! Crazy long, no, more like, SINFULLY LONG! I’m still a little bummed that I haven’t got my hand on the fouth book, BREAKING DAWN. I’m kind of looking forward to Edward’s & Bella’s marriage, I am even more looking forward to how Jacob will deal with all this. Poor boy, I hope he will imprint on a girl who deserves his love more than, BELLA. Bella, stupid Bella!!! Owh well, if Robert Pattison was EDWARD, I might make a biased choice too.

Anyways, throughout a month I haven’t blogged, tons of things happened. Among the highlights was that I was exempted from taking English Level 6, and hooray! My contact hour is 9 hour less (what a relief!) and all my classes from Monday to Thursday starts on 10 am. Owh wait, except for Wednesday, I have Fardhu Ain class at 9 am (sigh). I feel very blessed that my Monday class starts at 10 am, I can go back to UIA from home on Monday instead. The thought of starting the week with a hot shower makes the crazy jam worth it all, despite of the fact that my dad would most likely be driving. Not me (giggles!).

Driving. Drive. Am I a good driver? Well, I am proud to say that I have yet to scratch my family’s one and only car, the NAZA RIA (YET, though hopefully that time would never come). Nevertheless, I admit they were a few, “close encounters” so to speak. I’m not talking an inch, more like, a millimeter. I swear to god, but being the excellent driver I am with extraordinary precision, I manage to avoid any accidents so far. I admit, I still get nervous driving. My problem is that I tinker a lot, like Rafael Benetiz. I overthink. Once my dad hand me the key I get so excited to drive that I even forgot to correct the, “cermin to tengok kereta belakang” (I 4got!). And then it suddenly washed me that, I’m not only driving myself, I’m also driving my parents, and sometimes my cousins and friends. And I realize I’m in control. I have to take this seriously, their life is in my hand. Just one stupid mistake and I cannot say “Sorry20x” and everything will be ok again, its like, DO OR DIE or something. Its life or death, driving is a serious matter. Still, I dream to one day drive like my dad. I mean, he’s an insane driver. I’m not lying, I’m not saying this cause he’s my dad or whatever. But seriously, if my dad was not my dad, I’d still admit he’s a friggin good driver! Like, I honestly think he can go 160km/h with one hand while texting on the other. Heck I wouldn’t be surprised if he can do it with his eyes closed!!! Like last year when I went to Cameron Highland with my dad and my friend Aina, he was sooo “ridiculous” behind the wheels! Everyone knows how the road is, right left right left non stop.

So like we had 3 buses in front of us, what did my dad do, he “potong” all 3 of them! One by one of course, and it was like a horror movie for me and Aina at the back on the passenger’s seat. My feet cannot stop pushing the floor of the car, as if I could influence the brake of the car or something. My dad is the only human being who can be on the wheels and I am confident enough to close my eyes and sleep.

On a much brighter note, this year’s Raya Haji was something. I finally reconnected to a cousin of mine whom usually I’d be to shy to talk to. I mean, we’re both old now and cam, rasa malu lah kan. But its nice, I can finally be myself around him. And its so cool, that’s what family should be about. Apart from that, my mom, my brother and I put our name on a cow. I refuse to see a cow, or in this year’s case, almost all 13 cow gets slaughtered. I will feel like, this intense feeling of sympathy. Which is stupid! I admit, my friend told me how the cows are actually honored to be slaughtered because they’re going straight to heaven.

It was kind of embarrassing this year’s Hari Raya Haji. I cried! I friggin cried! They were 10 or 20 little children at the “slaughtering site” and they all looked at me like I’m stupid. I didn’t cry out loud or anything, I just couldn’t stop tears flowing from my eyes as I see the fear in the cow’s eyes. I probably would feel the same way if I saw my friends being slaughtered in front of my own eyes! I don’t know if I should feel sorry for the cow on my name, it was sooo wild and such a fighter. When anybody tried to be near him/her, it started to “tanduk” them as self defense. He/she was just trying his/her best to avoid being slaughtered, it refuses to die.

Next to me was my mom forcing me to take a video of the whole slaughtering, I couldn’t even look! Nevertheless to take a video?! But I swallowed it all in, after figuring I got a good shot and angle, I took the video and looked away. I couldn’t, I’d feel sympathy thus resulting on me not getting to eat its meat. God I sound barbaric…

I don’t know what else to write, but I promise I shall start updating my blog more frequently. Once a week or something, but we’ll see…
