my life, continues

Can i say wtf? i'm a bit stressed out.
oh, did u hear the new OMG? it's OMFG. haha, saw that on a billboard in times square. let me just assume u know what the F stands for :D

just as i landed in KLIA, i already starting to feel the heat. even in KLIA where it is air-conditioned. we were "fanning" ourselves and i think few people saw that, in particular one uncle. later, he approached us and say, "u better get use to the weather here". all i can do is smile :)
i think he was following our conversation for quite a bit, since he knew we are studying in canada. lol

i was glad this time, my parents were not late. as a matter of fact, i was late. haha.
haha. well, welcome to malaysia, farisa! i was dying thinking what is the first food that i want to eat. i chose kueh teow soup, lol. it was good! i know i dont want to eat nasi lemak :P

oh what the hell, it turned out that my mom had a hell load of plans for me that weekend. at noon, after resting for few hours, i'm on the road again to hospital selayang to see my aunt who's been hospitalized for some complications. i guess, i can't say no, although i was very tired. i met some cousins there...

bla bla bla....

the next day, i met kak farah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
oh wow! what a pleasant visit. we talked for quite a bit and yes, i miss her so much. she gave me few things from australia :)
and i left KL for kuantan that afternoon. i cant wait to see my new house

oh my God. it's not like what i expected!! it's still in the major renovation stage. i cant even unpack properly!! my dad took me on a "tour" around the house and show me things. yea, i know once it's done, my house (or my dad's house) will be sangat cantik. and the most shocking part of all is the granitic floor. omg, my first thought is "err, i dont think granite will look good as floor tiles", but my dad insists, so i simply cant say no. plus die dah tempah pon. i googled for some pictures, well, they do have the luxurious touch to it and it's not gonna look all that bad :)
my bathroom will have pink tiles. whaaat! but when i saw the tiles, they are nice, so tak kisah lahhh. the thing is, my dad is making the house very very very well ventilated. like seriously, double walling la, ape lahh will *he say* make the house cooler. my dad is not a fan of air conditioner, so he wants the house to cool naturally, which i think is quite impossible, but hopefully whatever he is building right now is the answer for that!

k, enuf with the house, i will post some pictures if i have the time ok. tempat computer pon sgt smpit. at the moment, no pictures of NY or whatsoever. i know i promise to write about my fieldtrip, but the situation is not so good. i just dont want to spend lots of time at the computer cos ppl are working in this area. k, ciao for now. i dont know when i will be able to write the next post. pls ignore if there is any grammar or spelling mistakes, i just cant proofreading right now :P

Gossip Girl

GG - my favourite TV show ended last Monday but I didn't get the chance to watch it until just now.
I just want to say one word : SNAP!
And "thanks" for an emotion-evoking season. This is exactly why I don't usually watch dramas. Cos they have a way to make you feel something bout your nearly-perfect life seems far from perfect!

OK, I know some of my friends are not fans of GG cause of the outrageous lifestyle of New York teenagers featured in the show. But if you put aside the crazily expensive outfits, limos, crazy penthouses, you will actually get a very interesting storyline. I'm not gonna bother myself with the plot here, but truthfully, it's good. The whole season has touched my emotions like crazy. When Dan and Serena are happy together, they actually make me feel sad (and I think you know where I'm going with this). But I just can't help to think, will my life change a lot if I do have somebody? Right now, I just don't bother myself with this kinda thing cause I don't want it to affect my studies, but will my studies actually get affected? Not that I would know eh. Whatevs... I was just having one of my curious moments. I have plenty :P Again, just not gonna think about it again. It was just an aftereffect of GG lol, that's all.

I have one more thing in mind. In the last episode Bart told Chuck that since now he has Blair, he will become a whole new person. He will be more responsible, gentleman, willing to make sacrifice, etc (I don't remember the rest) , apekah benar kata En Bass itu? Somehow I don't feel like I'm up for that *grin*. Anyways, I'm very satisfied with how things are right now, and I could not ask for more. I have more friends now that I can really really talk to whenever I have a problem which is always nice cause I don't tend to keep things to myself. OK enough, you know the rest if you've been following my blog.

Gosh, my laptop is so crappy right now :(
More reason to get a new one eh.
Ok, tulis one more perkara sahaja...

Tomorrow, I will be going to Fifth Avenue. More shopping! err...more window shopping I have to say. That street excites me more than any other street, and I think I know why. hehe. But it's not like I'm going to enter Prada, Chanel, Dior, LV etc etc boutique. I simply can't or else I definitely would! I will walk until 34th Street (where the Empire State building is) and maybe, if the weather is good, I will go up. It's been raining everyday now and the rain is destroying my holiday, hands down! Well, along 34th Street, kami mahu pergi GAP, Forever 21 and VS. I'm getting more things from VS. I already spent like 70+dollars there, and I might spend another 80dollars tomorrow. HAHAHA. but wait guys, they are not all for me! Orang ramai kirim dong... so I'm just doing the honour of buying them. hehe.

k babe, ciao for now :)

Wabagishik Rd

Canada has the weirdest road names ever! Just as u think Wabagishik Rd sounds weird, u can safely bet Seldom Seen Rd is even weirder...and also Sleepy Hollow Rd! Creepy eh?

I just got back from my fieldtrip. I was excited to be back! Not to say the fieldtrip was bad, but there were few moments where I wished I wasn't there at all. My arms are still sore from dragging my bag. It's very very heavy and I had to walk from B&G building to Elgin Hall to London Hall. That's quite a workout I had. I was sweating bulls when I finally got to London Hall, and right now, I'm hungry. For 10 days, I do not eat proper food at all! At most, I fried spaghetti with perencah nasi goreng. Hah!

OK, seriously I have tonnes of stories to tell.

I will always keep u in my mind and heart :)

I will writing my last exam tomorrow, but I'm taking a break to write an something.

My grandmom passed away. Her name was Hajah Bidah Manap. She had a stroke last Saturday and she passed away this morning at 10am. And I was writing my Stats exam at that moment.

Innalillah...

I'm so gonna missed her :(
She asked for something from Canada, and I promised her I will find it. I haven't bought it yet, and I was thinking of finding it tomorrow or the Wednesday. SO now, I don't have to look for it....
At least I feel okay that I spoke to her 2 weeks ago...remember I wrote bout my conversation with her in my blog? We were joking with each other at that time, taking about the time differences (which she is always amazed), nak beli ape utk die, when am I going to go back to Malaysia etc....and of course, she always always asked me to study hard and don't be a big spender (huhu, ni pon nenek pesan tau!).

Now, our Hari Raya won't be the same and I don't necessarily will go back to Jertih every 2 weeks like I always do :(
I'm reflecting back and see whether I've "repay" enough for her kindness and sacrifices she did for me. One thing I remember is, when I was 13, I just got back from my Pengakap camping and during that camp I was so stupid and wore a RM70 pants to play mud....(I got trick to wear that pants), and so that pants was in the worst condition anyone could every imagine! I got home, told my mom...and as u expected I was scolded. booo-hooo...but my grandmom was at my home at that time...she took that pants, and she scrubed it for me until it looked brand new. And of course, die bebel balik dekat my mom for scolding me. Oh dear! and I only stood there and watched her scrubed my pants (ngong sikit)...

Well, at least I know she's proud of me. She had my newspaper pictures in her glass cabinet. That was nice, and she keeps telling everybody about me and my sister. I'm happy that she's proud of me and I do my best to make her happy too whenever I was back at Jertih. I do hope I've done enough things to make her happy in a way to show how much I appreciate her.

I have an exam tomorrow. I got to put aside my sadness and focus. It's hard I know because I keep reminiscing about her :( and other stuff too! (the berangan part)

ok people I hope you can sedekahkan al-Fatihah to my late grandmom.

Wassalam...

Not there yet.

I want to be expressive
That is what I want to achieve when I started blogging
But, I'm not quite there yet. I want to write a sad story, and I want you cry with me, that is how expressive I want to be.
But, I couldn't make it happen here. I was good in my diary. I can cry whenever I read my story few years later. I had so much editing going on here that I don't feel I portray my feelings at that moment very well whether it is anger, sadness or happiness. The story feels disconnected most of the time.

IDK

I'm feeling a little emotional right now. and red is my favourite colour. and damn this song I'm listening right now summarized it all.

Sila laaa kembali belajar

I'm studying strain, rheology and deformation path that I decided to stop and write since I havent been updating my blog for quite awhile. And at the same time I'm actually chatting with my sister. What else is there to talk about other than "kau nak beli kat aku?". Anyways, lembab betul die balas msg, so I decided to just keep typing out my updates.

Well, to date, I have another 2 exams to go bfore the total freedom! But, right after that I will have my fieldtrip which I'm really really looking forward to. I've checked out the resort where we are staying, and it's quite okay, just the room is a bit small :P, but the best part is of course, the scenery is absolutely breathtaking. Just wait for the pictures alright~

Oh...bet u dont know this yet...my bed is sooooooooooo messy! I have almost everything on my bed just to make sure I don't have to my bed for anything! I got food, all my notes, hand sanitizer, alarm clock, laptop, water etc etc. gosh, I even sleep with my notes~!! You may see this as "farisa is soo sloppy"...but it's doesnt look all that bad ok! For real!

I'm pretty much feeling "calmer" today compared to yesterday, I was freaking out cos I have to study Stats and Structural Geology in 4 days! It's actually managable, I was just not in the right mental set yesterday. lol. And you what I will do when stress starts to kick in? Well, I resort to food of course, then I have my DC++ for me to download tv shows, Iron Curler (lol) and of course, if I go insane, I will start pulling out my make up bag. That is the last thing I want to do! Only when I'm insanely stressed out! Right now, I'm all fine...cos I went to the review session and got some help :)

_________________________________________________________________

Do you still remember PDAC? I wrote bout it few weeks back. It was the first convention I ever went to. And guess what I received in my mail box today? It's a newsletter from PDAC. And...
my picture was on the front cover!! OMG. I was surprised that they actually chose a picture of me, Innocent and Steve to be on the cover. lol. It's not all that big, but u can definitely see that is me! hehe. takde description whatsoever...just a picture dekat border. Who cares..it's still big deal for me. As Innocent was saying: "After this, if u applying for a job, show them that newsletter so they can see who they are talking to!"...that's drama!

ok, seriously I gotta back to studying. tangan bau belacan dowhhhh... hahaha...
and I asked for wedges from my sister wooooooooooooooot!

Beli Barang List

Currently, I am downloading all 5 seasons of One Tree Hill. I don't know whether I'm going to like it, but so far, the first 3 episodes are quite "mind-catching". You see, I think a lot. I know if I watch this kind of shows, I will have a hell of thinking to do after that. I hate that! I'm already thinking of few things now, in regards to that show. my oh my! Anyways, the point is, I finally understand why my 2 friends - who are fans of this show - love it so bad. I'm not gonna discuss the show yet, cause having watched only 3 episodes, don't give me that power yet! That show is supposed to be my summer watching thing. If you have something to say, keep it to yourself first! Just wait for another 1 month :)

Right, told you I wanna list down the things that my friends have been asking me to get them.
Here are the stuff. Most of them are asking for Victoria's Secret products. You know I'm a fan of that brand, so you can pretty much ask me anything 'bout it if you are interested as well. My cousins are asking me to get them the VS Secret Garden products, but they want only 4 items, and the sale is for 5 items. So, if you feel like fulfilling the fifth product, that would be nice. You can check out the items on VS website. It's 5 items for USD30. Sometimes, they might be more generous and make it 6 items. Last year when I was buying them for souvenirs to friends and family, it was 8 items for USD36. See, it varies, but most of the time, it will be 5 items for USD30. If you want PJs or anything like that, I have to warn you...what you see on the website, do not necessarily will be in the store. So that could be hard to find, if you are so specific. Also, I'm getting lip glosses for my mom and sister. Siapa nak, boleh gak. USD15 untuk 3 batang. OK, now I feel like a dealer already, just I do no get any komisen je :P

ok, that is just one thing.
Next, I have a friend who is asking for a CD, cause she can't find it in Malaysia. So, kalau nak CD, pon boleh.
Baju band Canada. Dah ade 2 permintaan for Alexis on Fire Tshirt. I still do not know where to get them actually :(
Then, I'm going to Disney Store too. Haha, I forgot to get something from Orlando. So, I have to get it there :D

And I'm getting something that has NY on it for Anna. and something that has Canada for my grandmom. I haven't decided yet what I'm getting for you, Anna, but I think t-shirt is cool eh? I'm getting myself a Hard Rock Cafe NY tshirt, keychain NY and NY paintings that people usually sell tepi Central Park. The pictures are all sangat cantik, and they don't cost that much :) They will be perfect for my new room!

That's all for now. Anyone with anything in mind that is not freakingly huge, can msg me :) Any mode of messaging is acceptable (dah macam buat business). And jangan lupa dah kirim tuh, barang2 adelah termasuk 14% tax yer for NY or less.. I forgot. I think they do not have tax for clothes and bags, but I'm not so sure :P

oh, I have to tell you this. My granny is at my home right now! and you know my house is having a major renovation, kesiann tok, bising lah rumah tuh! and she's cute! she wants cetong from Canada. I was like, what is cetong. haha rupenye mug? lol. tp tak boleh mahal die kate. I got her a purse from New York & Company last year and it is for USD10 (sale), she was mad cos she says 10dollars is expensive. OKOK granny, got your point. Will find something cheaper than that! If it's possible :D merah lagi kaler purse tuh. hehe

and now, I have to start studying. l8r peopler!

Ni lah the photos and paintings for sale that I told you :)

field course and sulfur

ok, this is getting weirder. why am i writing my blog every single day? cos i'm just rambling in each post!!
and yes, i hate the way my blog is looking right now!!!


u know, it has been almost a year i've been blogging! when i first started, i wanted to accomplish few goals. sadly enough, some of them are not yet accomplish. and what are they?? u gotta wait for the anniversary. i don't remember when, LOL but i'm going to check after this. oh dear, do u even remember the first few post i had. it was boring as hell.. haha



oh, i hope my blog's 1st anniversary doesn't fall when i'm in my field course. oh that course i gonna give me a hard time. i can already smell it. not hard as in, it will be a tough course, but to live through out the 10 days will be a challenge itself!



can u imagine we will be out in the field from morning until late afternoon, hiking here and there and map out the area, but NO food is provided? OMG! we gotta cook our own food! the resort should have the decency to provide us food! what in the world is that place, do u even get tourist when we are not around? oh dear. and, the food is ON US! i paid extra 265dollars for that course, and now i have to buy my own food. oh dear...



but, the fun part is, i got to draw my first map! i'm so excited. lucky lucky i took 201 already. this could be a fun one! measuring strike, dip in the field. ade fold, fault (maybe) and it's an ancient meteorite crater! OMG! u gotta be excited for me as well :) u see, unlike some other people. i love maps. i even terkantoi masa amik map dekat convention. the map is free, tp org yg jumpe tuh...adeihhh...byk ckp pulak :P right, my point is, if u r with me somewhere, somewhere...u wont get lost. i just think i'm good at directions. tak macam arep. lol. ni dah byk condemn orang nih. tapi kak eyna and ainil will be delighted kan... *lama tau i waited for u guys kat OU...ungkit sikit*



orait, my next paper is somewhat 8 days from now. and it's geochem - my worst nightmare ever!! seriously! i did poorly in my midterm. but the prof's policy is that we get at least 9% more on the finals, he will not count the midterms and all the weight goes to the final. THANK YOU NEIL!! and u guys should now this, Neil is trying to find where the first living organism actually live. i think - dont quote me on this - he says, he found out that sulfur is the reason why organism start to live..and where can u find high abundance of sulfur, warm temperature? that is around the hydrothermal vents - a place where u can get lots of black smoke underwater.



right right...i'm totally clueless as to what i should be doing. oh, i wanna write out my orang-kirim-barang-list, just in case u want something, u can add on it. tp besok laa buat. my nose rase gatal2 now. cheers!!
