at the risk of being too much.

hey guys.

berhabuk gila tak blog ni?

i'm going through quite a lot right now, nak spell it out pun susah, rasa perit.

kepada semua smoker yang baca blog ni (YOU. i made you quit once. quit again please?), have you any idea how selfish you are? nanti tua bila sakit bukan diri sendiri je yang seksa, orang keliling semua seksa having to see you go through that much pain, but not being able to do anything about it. just...quit. please. it's not worth all the pain you're risking yourself and your loved ones.

also, for what seemed like the first time ever, my heart ached for my dad today. i saw how my grandpa dissed him and pushed him away, walaupun initially ayahnda mengamuk juga (dua-dua hotheaded) tapi last-last mengalah, diam dan sabar. i doubt i will have enough patience to handle it if my father called me stupid but expect me to be at his beck and call 24/7.

grumpy sick grandpa is grumpy.

old school trains

we were driving up to the airport in the Honda Jazz Dr. Ismail left for us to use (he went back to Malaysia to get married) to get the two cars we're renting to drive up north to camp (and climb mountains, and go fishing, yeayy) when we saw thick black smoke billowing from the opposite direction. there were many theories

'ada benda terbakar ke?'

'hutan terbakar?'

'accident?'

'...keretapi ke?'

'huh?? takkan keretapi kot'

and then when we got closer we saw it; six or seven amazing old-school steam engines driving past us, releasing the thickest and blackest of smoke, with men dressed up like coal mine workers of the 60's sitting on them, grinning and waving at us.


sometimes life is just so epic.

'sisters know why you're in the mess you are in'

assalamualaikum blog.

i just got back from shopping for books as souvenirs for my sisters.

no, actually. that's a lie. i just woke up from the nap i took after i went into town to shop for books as souvenirs for my sisters.

i am really broke this year, for some reason. that's fine, Allah has destined my rizq to be that way. the problem comes, though, when it is time for me to go back home. because i do not have enough money to buy my (SIX) sisters their souvenirs.

so when the (ultra geek) Tengku Nadiah Liyana asked me to buy an agatha christie book for her, i suddenly got the idea to buy them cheap secondhand books for gifts. they're all with me with the idea, as i expected them to be (perhaps except for Opie who jokingly asked for a handbag instead; but she then texted me to get a Shakespearre compilation)

After getting their book preferences (i ignored Adik's wishlist kerana semuanya berbahasa Melayu. haih), i now have these in my room:

  1. 'Hugo and Josephine' - Maria Gripe
  2. A Series of Unfortunate Events : Book 13 - The End - Lemony Snicket
  3. Sherlock Holmes : The Complete Illustrated Novels - Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
  4. Endless Night - Agatha Christie
  5. A Tale of Two Cities - Charles Dickens
  6. Planet Google - Randall Stross
  7. Dreams from My Father - Barack Obama

i am a proud sister to six smart ladies who didn't dissappoint me by saying they want, for example, one of the shopaholic series. i have nothing against bimbo books bc i read them as well, once in a while. i just expect more from mafasynz.
