Bit of pictures for your eyes..as I'm still picking and adjusting for prints..ehehe..cant wait for the travelogue to finish~

A very short trip to Singapore.

Alhamdulillah, perjalanan pergi dan balik ke Kota Singa lancar. :) Pertama sekali, terima kasih tak terhingga kepada Fila, my dear bff. Well, we can conclude the short trip was a success. Here are the snippets (at least some of it):

1. Yeay, awake at 4.20am..check!! (ok, sepatutnya bangun pukul 4am ye. sedikit lewat)

2. To LCCT at 5am..check!! both Fila and me was so in time to get ready..I like~!

3. Arrive at LCCT about 5.45am kot..sampai2 terus carik surau..Subuh katanya. :)

4. Sedikit kekeliruan berlaku di sini. Rupanya Gate to SG sudah bertukar tempat baru dan di dalam tiada surau..and no toilet!! So, have to settle of our business before document check and customs. Alhamdulillah, selesai solat dan a very "pantas" breakfast!

5. Get to the boarding gate and wait till they let us in the flight.

6. Around 7am we got in and sit, and my my..the aunties in front and also at the back of us was sooooo chatty. We need our sleeps :( So, have to bear along the flight.

7. Yeay! Arrived at Changi airport around 8.20am. Get ready and swoosh we go to Orchard to find stuff for Yatoque.

8.  It takes us almost 1 hour from airport to the city..after how many train changes. lalala.

9. Got lost a bit to Lucky Plaza and the shop..hehe. Luckily, we got what we come after and Victoria Secret body mist!! Hooray~!! 

10. Breakfast + Lunch at Rasa Indonesia..hmm..betul ke tu? ekeke lupa plak..Fila have Ayam Bakar and me, Dinding Daging. *lupa nk tangkap gambar, sbb sgt lapar dan penat. OK, I must admit that at this time, I was already tired. huhu

11. Spent some times bought souvenirs. Love!! SGD10 for three items.

12. At 12 something we were already on our way to Marina Bay Sands (MBS) for the main event of the day, Wicked! The anxiousness was overwhelming..~! hehe. It takes us almost 30 minutes to arrive there.

13. We have a very long walk from the stations to the theatre..So long! haha. MBS is so big and there have like some sort of river in the middle (at least at one side of the mall) and even have sampan ride for SGD10 per person. Well, quite expensive for my taste. I might as well go to the real river in Malaysia. :) Oh, I thought we already got lost when the signboard to theatre playing hide and seek with us. Then, walla..just right in front of us! hooray~!

14. Fila get us the tickets and just look at how excited we were!

15. At 1.15pm we get to our seating. Luckily we bought it quite early..almost a month ago. We got the  highest place of all, ie. the cheapest..and we are next to spotlight, which means the seats besides me are empty..hooray!! I can see the stage clearly, but my eyes have imperfect vision..so, I'm just happy at where I was. Hehe. Beggar dont have to choose ya. :) OK, at this time..I can tell you honestly that my feet are so sore..I wish I dont have to walk anywhere..haha. OK, on other note, MBS has free wi-fi..Hooray!!! That explains my tweets frenzy ya, everyone! And Fila has already take a nap. She's tired, and we all were. I can't thank her enough that she had agreed to take this trip! Hooray for bff!

16. Exactly at 1.30pm, what we have come for has started! Wicked!!! I'm so excited, I cannot think much..haha. And trying to enjoy the story as much as I can. Galinda was so "gedik" I swear i could hit her if she was anywhere near me. hehe. But, she's fine..ihiks..it's like "gedik-gedik manja gitu", with her feet swing upright, always! aw! ehehe. Elphaba~!! She's so misunderstood. Oh, actually I have read the book, Wicked. I love it! and after seeing the theatre, I love it even more..Elphie's character is so misunderstood, that she have become scapegoat of the scandals in Oz..which was, unexpectedly the doing of his own father. Padan muka Wizard of Oz, jahat sangat! Well, I did shed some tears during the best friends part..aduh..tersensitif..ihiks..and also, the last part. ok, don't judge..I am sensitive. ihiks

17. Wicked ended at about 4.30pm, and I am confused why no one at our seatings give standing ovation..huhu. Jadi, tak boleh lah jakun sangat terus tepuk tangan jek lah. But, it was a very good one! I'm determined to watch it again, and this time at Gershwin Theatre, NY. Cross hands that the production will run until I'm wealthy enough to catch it..hehe. Amin!! *oh, I should do a list on what to do before I die..eh, I MUST!* oh, back to the standing ovation, yes..Fila did mention about it too. huhu. and we both go with the flow..haha

18. After that, toilet breaks..sorry Fila, terbanyak pulak gi toilet..minum air byk sgt kot..hehe. and the best adventure of all~ Before, we came I have researched on where to pray for our jamak Zohor and Asar. To no avail, there are none! Unbelievable! I also has emailed inquiry to MBS and they replied the same. So, I wish and hope that in future the management would provide a prayer room. It doesn't have to be big, but clean enough for us, Muslims to perform prayers. Thank you. Oh. tak habis cerita..as we walk here and there to find prayer room, and no avail..sampai sakit kaki lagi nie..:( and, lastly decided to pray at the Exit stairs. Luckily, I have taken the newspaper at Orchard. Kalau tak, memang takde alas lah kitorg solat. Yes, that was tad adventurous. 

19. Ok, lepas tanggungjawab selesai, barulah rasa lega siket nk berjalan..pastu, boleh tk kitorg g makan. hehe. kiranya cukuplah makan hari tu..haha..We have our teatime at the food court, mango juice and pies. :)

20. Then, sebab dah tak larat sangat, gi duduk dediam kat depan Art Science Museum, sambil ber-whatsapp dgn Yatoque. That was when we are waiting for the Wonder Full show at 8pm. Yes, we are so tired that we were actually waiting at the wrong place..haiyak!! and end up, not seeing the show properly. Sad. The youtube video was more visible. But, the feelings and experiences was so magical, the bubbles and color. If there are to be next time, I would make sure that we secure the perfect place to watch the show..hehe.

21. OK, then time to go home! Off we go to Changi at around 8.30pm and almost lost our way, as the MRT system has made us confused. huhu. Luckily we managed to arrive at 9.35pm after timeless train change and long walk to Terminal 1. Document checked and customs has let us in. Hooray! Then, we eat. hehe. Yes, we have enough food to fill us but still feel tired. hehe. This time, we had Kiliney bread and half-cooked eggs. I have iced coffee. Oh, no worries, I can still sleep..haha. By this time, Fila has caught some flus due to not enough rest. :(

22. Ah, this is the time I want to vent my frustration. Do you remember, the Victoria Secret's body mist we bought earlier? It was confiscated by the customs in the boarding gate, and I was like..what the???? this is new bought tau...terus2 jek uncle tu amik dan buang! :(:( so sad to see that goes, and I guess Fila was too tired and also frustrated. Her souvenirs also got confiscated. Bengong betul!!! I was a bit sad, as the body mist was meant for my sister. She was the one that asked me to buy and Fila&me has spent time to choose what scent that would suits her. Argh, by this time..I hate customs and their regulation. huhuhuhu. oklah, saya redha..tapi terkilan la jugak. So, reminder to self, if you go anywhere by flight, please make sure that the package is sealed. Sediakan payung sebelum hujan ye..sekian.

23. Done with that, it's time to board the plane..and we have the seats near to the wings of plane. Both of us sleeps all the way. Nasib baik tak banyak gangguan. Oh, even the mamat sebelah i pon tido..so, us three in a row, sleeps all the way..I did woke up a bit, because of some turbulence occured. Huhu, takut sekejap. Dan, pilot bawak kapal terbang laju sgt..830km/jam. Dr patut sampai pukul 12.30, 12 suku dah smpai..Dahla depart pukul 11.45 camtu..huhu..nak kejar apa pon tatau..haha..But, Alhamdulillah selamat sampai.

24. After customs and security, off we go to head home. Sorry Fila, aku tertido sekjappp jek! huhu. Arrived at Fila's crib at about 1.30am. Terus siap2 mandi dan solat dan booomm, tido!! It was definitely a longgggg day~!

Lastly, it is a very long day and we had our fun. Thank you, Fila for everything. Lepas ni mana pulak? Perhentian? Jom Yatoque & Rabby~!!

ps: gambar akan di-update kemudian..
pps: maybe ada lagi kot gambar nk update..kalau rajin..:>

29.02.2008

closure.

i do not believe it, i guess. but at least, i do not deny it.

NO, is what i get. I'm not going to ask for "nape?". Just let that be.

do not be sad, i said, as there are those sadder than me.

so, is this a closure for me? as far as the ego said yesterday..it is.

oh, i dreamt of someone (rather odd but sweet, t'was) last monday. thank you stranger (kinda) for making my day worth smiling/blushing all day. stress is a four letter word.

Saturday, January 06, 2007

hello, sunshine~ (ala2 gaya mr wonka)

heya..it's 2007 already. how time flies. i'm 25+ and getting older each and everyday. huhu. what do i achieved eh? humm..let see. none stands out other than being me. plain impulsive naughty "sedikit malas" hazera :D

haha, anyway..my resolution for 2007 is...nothing. :D for everyday, i am blessed with all these practical resolution, so i just stick to day-to-day resolutions and live the day as it is. my life, my way. but mind me, i still have what they called plans. it's all on my head. say, if i forget one..the plan will find its way back to me. so no worries. hehe.

so, it's already 6/1/2007. what i achieved so far...more to what i did so far. Bekerja bertungkus lumus dari hari rabu ke jumaat dengan selingan-selingan merehat minda. 80% competent and continously effective. :D akhirnya, mendapat hadiah dari minah kekure. thanx alot bebeh. i like, of course. sendiri mintak~ haha

currently, im sorting out all my personal belonging. CDs, mags, collectibles. musics, prints, such an expensive hobbies. bless me. :D eh, lemme story briefly what i did in singapore recently.

thursday nite: all the way to pudu with very heavy feet. terasa malas2 nk gerak. haha..smpat tgk "what women want" believe me, apart from them being handsome (some lah kan) (the contestant i meant) i dont want any of them. :D not what i want.
friday morn'- at the wee hour of 4am, arrived. found out my prepaid hasnt been registered yet. what the? i remembered it being registered at tmpoint when i'm downgrade my 3g line. haiya. manyak susah wo ini macam. i have to call the careline like at 4am and ask. lucky i'm quite in happy mood that morn, so takde lah amukan syaitan kat larkin. wakaka. neway, at that wee hour, still many people...looking lots like me..lost, sleepy..kalau disorongkan bantal, harus tidur~! apa-apapun, selamat sampai ke rumah bibik. dan jumpa mak..hoyeah..i love. lepas subuh, tidur wlaupun sebenarnya digesa emak ikut dia pegi umah bibik pia. haha. lucky me. tidur smpai puas. kunci alarm pon tk bgn. haha. after zohor, more likely after 3. gone to older uncle+untie house. my dear uncle is diagnosed with prostate cancer. it's been like the whole year, he has to undergo chemo and mostly radiotherapy. it's been glad to see him happy to see us visiting him, but in the same time devastated as there's no words to express what i was feeling that day. i just hope, he'll be OK and pray for his health.
after that went to jurong point to met mariyam, so we three..eh lupakan nk bgtau. ana, yam and me went to bibik pia's house all the way in ..(eh, lupe plak kat mana. tp yg pastinya, terhangguk2 gwe tertido dlm taxi haha)sampai2 makan. oh ye, my bibik and her husband were going to perform haj at Makkah. konon pegi menghantar la kan. :D yelah, dah my mak and bapak and also my oldest bro family datg sana, mestila mau menyibuk jugak. :D okla everything went well. but so damn tired. huhu.
saturday: my mak and bapak and the whole bunch balik ipoh that morning. me stay sampai bosan. :D gone to vivocity that evening. nice place. all the at south of spore, with view of sentosa island and the cable car. but i did not go there. maybe next time. :D
sunday: just hang around at house. ana's attend friend wedding. but on that evening, we went to movie. nice~ night at the museum :D then lunch/dinner at thai kitchen. OK~! thanx ana. muwah muwah.
monday morn: balik kl. but merempit with abang kiki. dia hanta gwe sampai larkin. hehe. best tk best? sangatlah experience nye ha..:D

oh tu je la. not too brief nampaknya. :D

uhuks..tuh je la setakat ni.tgh dok melayan lagu2. my chem, muse, the killers and lots of other songs. and hoping i could go to the muse concert. takda sapa nk belanja ke? :D
