an update of sorts

hey guys.

did you miss me? i'm sorry i made you wait. it's been crazy. i can't believe i've only been home for a week.

i went to KBMall earlier tonight. teman KuZett buat specs. power sikit je, mula2 machine to cakap 125 sebelah 200 sebelah. alih2 power die 50 je dua2 belah whosthefather. tapi buat je la spek. dah jadi macam nenek dah muka Tengku Nur Zahirah. i found out that they now have contacts for my uber-high astigmatism, yeay! do you think i'd look better without specs? one of the reasons yang buat Atiq nak sgt pakai contacts is dekat Ireland selalu hujan and Atiq selalu jalan kaki, benci everytime pun kena jalan dalam kerabunan sebab kalau tak bukak spek nanti lagi la tak nampak, penuh dengan titisan air. another reason is simply plain vanity.

muka sekarang macam kena bom. breakout yang disebabkan oleh Atiq tukar cleanser haritu tak habis lagi. sigh.

hidup ialah hectic kerana banyak tanggungjawab Cambodia/Usrah/Kena buat fresher's pack junior yang tak buat apebenda langsung lagi tu, and in the meantime Tokku sehari tiga kali telefon 'tanya khabar' and make me feel guilty tak pegi jenguk die dalam sehari. Tokku, Tokku...

oohhh. I passed second year, alhamdulillah. yeay for me? i'm gonna go tempah my white coat next week.

Atiq : Tokku, Atiq dapat doh result, Atiq pass semo alhamdulillah
Tokku : Allahhh....Allahhhh la Atiq....Alhamdulillah....Tokku siyey maley duk rusing takuk Atiq tokleh jawak prekso...Nati Atiq paka coat putih tu kat spital nati, Atiq ambik gamba so, hata ko Tokku, neh?

that's probably the most menterharukan conversation i've ever had.

Didie kat depan ni bising duk main Gaia. Adik dah tidur, baru ajar Maths lima soalan dah ngantuk, apekaaahhh. Sindrom Anak Bongsu. hmph.

Banyak sebenarnya benda jadi...tp dah lama sgt jadi so tak best nak cite.

Bile balik Kelate baru tahu status kegeringan Sultan/Tengku Temenggung/Manohara, sebab duduk sebelah Tokku masa Tokku call abang ipar Sultan tanya khabar. haha. Tanya masa kat Ireland mana Atiq tau.

Opie's boyfriend is an anak Tan Sri. Sekarang kitorang panggil Opie Puan Sri. hahaha. Tinggi-Hensem-Kaya-Pandai-Baik. Doesn't drink, doesn't smoke, doesn't club. (Amin, tak payah nak cakap you fit into that category as well please, mahu kena lempang?) Good enough for an anak Tan Sri. Bile dah couple lama sikit boleh mula menyiasat sembahyang berapa kali sehari, haha.

I met Kelly who came over to Kelate and stayed at Husna's place. We packed all the catching up into a few hours, which naturally resulted in fits of laughter and sakit perutness. I've missed that lady so much.

Oh, I went for breakfast at Kubang Pasu with my uncle and my sister, ketayapn(the kuih warna hijau, bukan yang letak atas kepala tu..heyy) kat situ sedap gile weh! omg. must try if you ever go there, ok. Atiq beli satu je, lepas tu pegi makan nasik kerabu kat tepi tu, then bile found out sedap gile and nak beli lagi satu, dah habes! padahal sebelum tu ade penuh lagi dalam satu bekas besar, whatthefish. Orang2 Kelate yang memang dah tahu ketayap kat situ sedap, sila diam dan pura-pura baru tahu juga, sekian terima kasih.

Ohhh...Tokku is doing miraculously well, alhamdulillah.

I'm still always on the verge of crying, besides being happy with the two bolokness in the form of bespectacled kids. My parents are in a dysfunctional marriage, and I guess that's just something I'll always have to live with. Ayahnda did bring home a new sofa set and insist that Mama bawak keluar a new set of plates to sambut kepulangan Atiq dari Ireland...I guess I'm in no place to complain no matter how much he yells at me for things that aren't my fault.

That is one thing that can make me break in a milisecond. Being yelled at for something I didn't do.

In other news. Didie is taller than me. She's been drinking milk and eating Hi-Cal Jacobs biscuits to reach this goal. Siap tak bagi Atiq minum susu die, 'Atiq jangey minum susu chocolate Didie! Ado limo hidangey jah!'. Tadi Atiq minum segelas penuh sebagai tanda protes.

Beha's coming back this weekend!

Okay this is way too long.

I love you.

I'll be abandoning this blog a lot, because I'm going to Bangkok soon.

Take care lovelies.

Rumah sape nih?

I came back and the jalan batu-batu yang menyebabkan my friends kata kereta diorang rosak kalau datang amek Atiq kat rumah dah jadi jalan tar yang rata luas.

Pagar dah tukar, rumah dah cat baru. Pokok semua dah cabut, dah tanam pokok baru. Buai dah cat baru.

Masuk dalam rumah. langsir baru kerusi baru, susunan everything baru, tangga cat baru, pintu bilik air cat baru wtf RUMAH SAPE NIHHHH???

Langsir kat my room yang lagi tua dari Atiq, yang kalau Atiq tarik sikit confirm koyak sebab dah reput tu dah tukar dgn langsir cantik kaler kuning huh apebenda nih tak biasa, dah lebih 20 tahun tengok langsir sama je kat rumah.

reban ayam belakang rumah dah takde. kalau Atiq keluar bilik air and pintu verandah tak tutup, nanti jiran hujung sana boleh nampak Atiq sebab hutan kat tepi rumah dah cantas ranap kosong ahhhh sudah hilang protection.

ok blog entry ni merapu. first entry from Malaysia.

sekarang tengah thunderstorm.

Atiq takde number Malaysia lagi sigh.

esok temankan Tokku pegi his first chemotherapy session.


bye.

THREE more hours to kill

I may, or may not have wasted another 2euros for 10minute internet at this airport.

airports are fascinating. there are a LOT of people, but they are all in their own world. For instance, I need to pee and I have quite a terrible headache right now, and I'm on the internet. There are two phony guys in suits talking to each other at the cafe behind me, and there is an old man on Blackberry, sitting by himself.

Mom wanted me to wear a mask or cover my nose with my hands. I said yeah okay just to let her sleep well tonight. Nobody's wearing no masks in the UK. Swine flu haven't reached here yet.

Two minutes left. Do not curse do not curse do not curse.

Airport internet services are a pain in the backside.

Pray me a safe journey back! Maybe I'll write from Dubai when I get there.

Birmingham International Airport, Birmingham.

Hello. As you can already deduce, I'm at the airport. Going through the annoying 7 hours connection delay. They have wudhu' facilities at the toilet here, which was exciting for me because I won't have to angkat my kaki and jinjing dengan susah payah masuk sinki, but the air won't come out of the pipes there. cehss.

selalunya Atiq akan tunggu toilet tu deserted pastu cepat-cepat basuh kaki before orang masuk, tapi it was just impossible for that to happen here. the airport is crowded and people just kept coming in, so I just made a muka tak bersalah and masukkan kaki dalam sinki depan unsuspecting, curious-tapi-cover-cover orang putihs.

after doing that, I feel empowered and I feel like I can do anything in this world. haha.

I quite nearly took a train to Birmingham New Street to find a Whittard in the city since I have 7 hours to kill, menyesal tak beli more than 3 jars of coffee when I was in Bath. I decided against it sebab tak familiar dgn Birmingham and malas nak heret luggage. when I came upstairs, I couldn't believe my luck when I saw a Whittard of Chelsea among the shops. But alas...it's closing down so they had a clearance sale, so all the teas and coffees are sold out. sigh.

I have no proper souvenirs for anyone.

Oh crap I only have 2 minutes left. Bye guys! Hopefully I'll see you soon!

Happy Birthday to Mama and Nana~

today (yesterday? it's 1.01am now) i went to visit Kak Rose. she's going back to Malaysia for good, so she gave me some of her stuff (yeay!!). we did some catching up, she made me gorgeous Milo, and i taught her to be mean and reject the tons of friend requests she had on facebook. she's as gorgeous as ever. makin tua makin gorgeous apekah Kak Rose ni benci k. haha.

i did LOADS of shopping today. finally bought a blue Zara cardigan, i've wanted one of those since forever. bought a random sling/handbag that was on sale, i can give it to anyone who wants it. it's cobalt blue and really small though, i doubt anyone in the family would like it apart from me. i've always had an awkward sense of fashion, but meh. who cares. i wear what i like and that's the end of it.

i'm almost done packing. tinggal toileteries, baju-baju yang tak kering lagi, laptop ni, handphone, and iPod je yang tak masuk bag lagi. yang elektronik ni semua tengah charge.

haih bosannye entry ni, amenda tah Atiqah tulis.

pleaselah jangan gaduh dengan Ayahnda this summer, Atiqah. please refrain from talking back. just shut up. even when all your friends marah sbb biar Ayahnda ckp sorang-sorang. it's better that way. Atiqah diam = Ayahnda tak marah = dunia aman damai.

stupid security at Bristol Airport

i forgot to mention : in my frequent travelling around, i ALWAYS carry more than one clear resealable bag of liquids and there never was any problem with it. but this isn't the case in Bristol. nope...they had to be stricter than even BIRMINGHAM. and Birmingham was pretty annoyingly strict, mind you.

they stopped me at security and told me i'm only allowed ONE clear resealable bag of liquids. i was left with choosing between 1. my newly bought, still full, Body Shop travelling set, or 2. only-found-in-UK-not-in-Ireland set of shower creams (with the likes of Coconut Ice Cream, Strawberry Smoothie, etc) that i bought as souvenir for my sisters.

i chose number 1 because it's more expensive, and nearly cried when i saw the security threw the four bottles away in the trash can. i mean...WHAT'S THE POINT??? AM I GOING TO USE FREAKING MANGO TANGO SHOWER CREAM TO BOMB YOUR STUPID PLANE????????


i hate airport security.

Cork, Ireland

the journey back to Cork was a fiasco. it was filled with typical Atiqah things that it wasn't even amusing anymore, it was just plain irritating. i need a calm man in my life to pacify me when things go wrong, and to remind me of things to make sure i don't forget/leave things behind.

i am a true Y.M.

Yang Menggelabah.
