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…

Atiqah’s Name Drop of The Day: My not so secret anymore crush, *beep*

Atiqah’s Song of The Day: Talk by Coldplay

Freedom!!!

On the 15th of October I have officially finished my last exam paper, Chemistry!!! What a release!!! Sweet taste of freedom that is. So I haven't blogged in a while, I use to do it like, all the time. But these days, even if I do surf the internet, I would either:-

(i) Download lots & lots of new music (I barely listen to the radio).

(ii) Stalk on my crush on his friendster (ngahahahaha, ppl don't change)

(iii) Open youtube.com

(iv) Download new clothes, new hair for my sims

I just literally gave up on my blogspot life, but when I saw that questionnaire at Faruq's blog, it just triggered the blogger in me to continue blogging. Haha!

To start of, a few days ago something happened to my Isabelle (my macbook). The power button of my macbook kind of get tilted inwards, so, when I push the button, I don't get the feel that its clicking downwards. Plus, its like, my mac has a trouble deciphering whether I want to turn it on or not, so like, it will turn on if I push the button hard enough or if I push it twice (the second time harder). And like, not only is it bothering me, but it is also frustrating me. So I'm going to get it fix, by tomorrow hopefully at the Apple Store in MidValley. I just need my dad to give me a lift, and bring me the warranty.

I planned to go today, to Low Yat where I bought my laptop, but I'm worried about two things:-

(i) if I go straight from UIA, I don't have the macbook's warranty with me, so if I do ask them to fix it and they'll charge, what a waste when I actually do have a warranty.

(ii) and secondly, UIA has this strict policy that you can only go outing on fridays, saturdays & sundays, and its a complete B. S. There's 2days til' I leave the campus, give me a fuckin' break! 

Like if I want to go outing on non-regular outing hours, I have to write a friggin letter to the principal of my mahallah (hostel). Get her approval. Like when I want to go to my uncle's open house, he lives in Damansara, so my parents thought they could just pick me up and I can tag along. So I asked for the permission of the mahallah, they told me to write a friggin letter (in English of course) asking for the principal's permission. I had to change the title from “Permission To Go Out To My Uncle's Open House” to “Permission To Go Out To My Uncle's TAHLIL”, it seems more appropriate I guess. So I did, I put pen to paper. But nnnooo... I have to get the principal's permission, okie doks. But nnnooo again, she doesn't believe me. She wants to talk to my mum, turns out my mum is unreachable. So I called my dad, she talked to my dad, finally I got the approval. 

*sigh*

And that's completely B.S., because my cousin Iqa (who is studying in UM) gets to go out whenever she f**king wants to.

Okay2x, on a much much brighter note. The nastiest thing happened yesterday. After finishing my Chemistry paper, the only relevant thing for me to do was reaching for my macbook and play The Sims 2 University. So while my friend & I take turns playing, I thought I sms my cousin, Fatin, to ask her what do she usually order for Domino's Pizza delivery. But with a slip of finger, I sent it to a different number. And unknown number to be more exact. My friend, Athirah, use my phone the other day. So typical of a Sony Ericsson phone, they will save the recent number used when you sms right, I guess I accidentally clicked on this unknown number.

It was Athirah's friend, a guy. So after apologizing, the whole “accidentally smsing someone” triggered something in me. “Wouldn't it be funny if I accidentally sms'ed my crush? *who's like a f**king saint in and around the campus.* Long story short, I decided what the heck, its the end of the semester. This guy, lets just refer to him as MC, is taking engineering too. In UIA, typically for engineering students you have to  do your foundation for 2 years. But if you're smart... One and a half year! Appareantly not only is he the man of my dreams in more ways then one, but he is also like, smart! And tragically, that means he is doing his foundation for a year and a half. (and like that sucks and all, that why I kinda wish that he would repeat some paper or something. Haha!!!)

So like, here I am trying to find the perfect line to sms him. Cam x sengaja lah gitu. So the only relevant thing I can think of was, “Iqa, ko tahu tak no. fon Domino's Delivery Pizza?” Cam x sengajalah gitu, hehe! It was like when I sms'ed Aidil from Couple, I just thought I got nothing to lose, if he didn't sms me back then fine. Fine!

But he did, he actually did! I was so stoked. When my phone rang, “You got a tiny text message, a very tiny one, please read it.” Me and my roommate was in awe, I was so excited sampai tergolek-golek atas lantai. Like literally. I quickly grabbed my phone and read the message and he sent back, “Aduhai... Salah nombor lah.” I squealed in a 100 decibel tone. I actually talked to him, in like, an indirect sengaja kind of way. 

The big question arise, should I reply back. Like apologize. And my roommate Izzati replied for me, “Srry2x, tapi sape ni?” I was just in disbelief that my friend actually sent that. 5 minutes gone by, he still didn't reply. I couldn't play The Sims 2 with a 100% focus, cam gabra lah kan. Sal dia x reply. 

But he did! He actually did. Typical of him, if you see his friendster you'd know what I mean, he HUMBLY replied, “Hamba Allah... Yang penting bukan Domino's Delivery Pizza, huhu...” I was excited as hell, he said “huhu” to me. How significant! Haha! So I didn't want to bother him anymore, thus I replied, “Betul2x, sorry, selamat hari raya. Maaf zahir batin.” I thought why not y'know, like he took an effort to reply to me, 017 and he's like 013. As expected, he replied back. “Okies, xpe. Selamat Hari Raya ke-15, hehe!” OMANG! I was just so stoked yesterday, a good way to start my freedom days which is already numbered. 

Next sem I am taking physics, a bit daunting actually. I mean, its physics, do the math right. My roommate Ilee is taking it this sem and she seems so stressed out, and she loves physics. With me, I don't like it at all, I don't. How would I do next sem, worst!!! I apologize for the ridiculous length of my blog, I just, haven't blog in years!!!
