Happy Happy Happy~~~

Yes people~ I am currently in my happy mode - which for those who don't know me well enough, is quite a scary sight to behold~


The reason for this is... drum roll please!


I FINALLY GOT A JOB! Well, a paying one that is since I'm currently a non-paid chauffeur/homesitter/entertainment provider/foods and beverages (of the snacking kind) supplier and a babysitter - which while on the whole I think is impressive, is not so on paper. I went through the usual medical check today after receiving the offer letter yesterday and will get the results a month from now which is so not good 'coz I have to inform my employers of my acceptance together with my bill of health within 4 weeks - I already lost one week due to the literally snail mail procedures. I guess I'll have to go and see them bosses soon to explain for the delay.

Although I'm really happy being finally able to get off my ass and do some real money making, there's a bit of doubt as to my capabilities in handling serious stuff. I'm not known as a loon without a reason - it's my powers of suppressing all the bad things I don't wanna deal with that makes me appear laid-back and able to do crazy stunts like doing a 200 on the highway with traffic left and right~. I guess I'll just go with the flow and see where this route will take me - if it didn't turn out as I want it to be as you know, sh*t happens, then I'll try make the best of the situation. If that fails, I will always have reasons to go shopping for retail therapy~ heheheh~

I got my hair cut again but just the front part since my bangs keep poking me in the eyes and I wanna show off my ear piercings. Let me tell you - if you have fine straight hair, do not, I repeat, DO NOT, try to cut your bangs at a level above your eyebrows and then proceed to have the hair framing your face cut in shorter layers just above your ears... the result... I now have shaggy hair due to the fact that my hair type is fine and so it's shortness makes it go all over the place without the length to weigh it down to its supposed style. Thank goodness for the vanity of the male half of the population though - I can easily obtain a styling gel that allows me to shape it whatever mood I'm in and being me, I have to go all out and buy the hair creams, conditioner and shampoo as well.

For my peeps, I'll be in isolation and out of contact until I grow my hair back to my liking...

ciao~

Introducing....

the newest addition to the family~ Mohammad Eshmat NorAiman~ currently one week, 5 days old



On another note, the rainy weather has literally put a damper on things. My dad did sumthing with the roof over part of my room in his quest to rid of the rodents that decided to become roomies - however it made that part of the roof vulnerable to the force of nature. So now I'm spendin' rainy days mopping up the leaks and watching rainwater fall into buckets. It's not bad though, at least I'm not swimming in my own room as what i saw on TV during the flood season a couple months back. And now I have something to do rather than sit on my butt all day watching grass grow~

Speaking of butts, I landed on mine a few days ago. I kinda forgot that it had rained the night before and that I had the floor wiped afterward. Good thing I didn't knock my head or I would have had a seriously major headache by now. Well, at least it didn't leave a bruise although I'm feeling the effects.

This had me thinking - am I clumsy? I've been getting into near mishaps for all my life and even had some not so near ones. When I was a kid, around 5-6, I accidentally cut my wrist with a pair of scissors - no, I was not suicidal - it was more of a running with scissors type of situation and it was more of a 'gouged out' rather than cut. I remembered seeing my own bleeding wrist with a small part of my flesh visible and feeling a bit faint from sight of blood. Until now I still can't stomach the sight of my own blood, I'm okay with everybody else's though~

Let's see, what other calamities did I went throughout my life: I cut my foot when I was playing gymnastics and crashed into the corner of the mirror (almost sliced it - that would make wearing open sandals a no-no which would make me very upset indeed); I bumped my skull open onto a pipe while washing my hair and boy, did that make my head spin for a few hours but it was nothing a few bandages couldn't fix (p.s. let me tell u, it was tough removing all those plasters from hair and a lot of them too) (p.p.s. I must have a hard head 'coz I managed to live until now without any serious aftereffects - like internal bleeding and all the stuff u see on CSI); I fell off a tree; I fell down a flight of stairs; I was attacked by a rooster (which make eating all those chicken dishes my own personal sweet pleasure of revenge); I sprained my ankle while taking a small step (and it was really a small one that gets me from the hallway into the kitchen); and I sometimes trip over even surfaces that has no obstruction whatsoever. So, does that make me a klutz?

My conclusion is ... no, it doesn't. And I'm not in denial either (really, I'm not). I am merely unaware of my surroundings and I have a habit of 'mata tempat lain' - roughly translated into 'eyes elsewhere', meaning I don't pay attention to whats in front of me. So I think that if I fix this bad habit of mine, I believe that I will be in much less dangerous circumstances.

Well, good luck with that.

For my Twilight peeps out there... u know who u are~ (^0^)

I have nothing else to blab about today so I'll just post something I picked up from the E! channel for my friends who are fans of the film. Just a sneak peek of the sequel, 'New Moon', set~~~

Just click on the link: New Moon set

While browsing the site, I've only found out that apparently there have been rumors of a rabu-rabu (love as pronounced by Japanese~) in the set: R.P. is supposedly have a thing for K.S. but the latter is still involved in a relationship which was said to be on the rocks. However K.S. and her boyfriend have denied of having trouble in paradise. Dun dun dun ~ ~ ~ ah well, that's as far as I heard but it made me curious enough to watch the movie again and youtubed clips between the two to gauge the chemistry between them as well as download the draft copy of 'Midnight Sun' from the author's site. Hahaha~ this is what u get for having nothing else to do~

I leave you with a video of Super Junior's newest MV "Sorry Sorry" - love the beat!~

Baby~

Woohoo~ I got a new baby boy! He was born last Friday just before Maghrib - not sure yet of his exact name, something along the lines of Erwan NorIman I think. I had a little episode of sulking just because I wasn't informed of his birth that day~ hahah~ I had just came back from watching "Confessions of a Shopaholic" (it's a feel good movie with quite a few laughs) with my peeps at the Mall, and somehow had the feeling that I should take the Jerudong highway as the route back home. Usually I just go via Jangsak and Sengkurong but that day I felt like going the other way, I even spent half an hour at a store in Jerudong. Turns out during that time the baby was already borned in JPMC which is just along my way home that day!

Imagine my frustrations when I finally made it home just to be told that the new baby had arrived and I just missed him by a few minutes~ Hahaha~ but I wasn't sulking alone, my sister was pouting 'coz she was also left out - my parents had just dropped her off at her dorm and was on the way home when they received a call about the baby. Hahah~ my mom told my sister-in-law: "Now I got two of them mad at me" after the both of us called her to complain of being left out one after the other~



So I went to visit the new arrival and mommy at JPMC on Saturday. The baby was very tiny, his big toe is the size of my pinky and I have quite small and thin fingers (well duh~ If I have fat fingers that would totally be out of proportion with the rest of my body which everyone knows is quite skinny). He has his eyes covered because he was under some kinda ray theraphy as he was a bit jaundiced. But he's okay now - he has large eyes, I'm hoping this one would take after our side of the family in looks this time around~

So being at JPMC I couldn't pass up the chance to go the beach! It's such a long time since I went... would have been better if I had my friends/family with me but I'll take my chances where I can get 'em.

This would have been better if there hadn't been that bibik with her charge at the back...


It was about 3pm so the sun was casting a loooong shadow



Hahahaha~ senget 'coz I don't exactly know where the camera was pointing



Time to go home so I left my mark...~

5.2.0. Conversations...

Browsing the Billboard 100 charts online...

Me: Eh, Eminem ada kluar lagu baru sama 50 cent dan entahsapakan (Hey, apparently Eminem has a new single out with 50 cents and whatsisname)

Bro: Iakah? Apa namanya? (Really? What's it called?) *actually not that interested but still melayan*

Me: Crack a Bottle, nda pernah pun ku dangar main d radio (Crack a Bottle, never heard it played on the radio though)

Bro: *continues watching TV, not really listening*

Me: *still talking as if anyones listening* Tau ku ni klo kena main gerenti bunyinya - toot, toot, tooooot, toot~ (I know that if this ever plays on the airwaves, it's guaranteed to sound like this - bleep, bleep, bleeeeep, bleep~)

Bro: *looks over questioningly*

Me: Hahaha~ sbb luan banyak kan di censored~ (Hahaha~ 'coz the lyrics have to be censored~)

Bro: ...



*****



Watching Wheels of Fortune Malaysian version. The words were:

P _ R _ G _ W _ T I / T _ R _ _ _ _ _

Me: Hmmm, I know the first one is Peragawati (Model), but what can be associated with that?

Sis: Usually what they model right? Like clothes or car or accessories

Me: It doesn't fit

Sis: *takes a drink*

Me: *Not really thinking at all, but spouting whatever comes to mind* I know! Peragawati Terencat (Retarded Model)!

Sis, Bro and other Bro: ... *looked at me speechlessly*

Sis: *shakes head in amazement as if wondering how the heck we were related*

Bros: *laughed their head off*



.... the answer was actually PERAGAWATI TERKENAL....



*****



Was driving a friend home from a night out at the movies - after denting my mom's car on the way...

Peep: You sure seem comfortable driving around places, how'd you get so confident?

Me: Just start driving to familiar places everyday. Once you're confident about driving there, you can venture out to drive farther - maybe you can drive along the highway during off peak hours, I find that relaxing

Peep: Oh~ *nods head then changes topic* Is this your first accident?

Me: ... *silent for a while*

Me: Wellll... If you count this as on the road... then yes... *smiles in assurance~*

Peep: ... *hand tightens on seatbelt*

Ape-ape je...

Hahaha~ It's been a long time since my last update. Wanted to but my lazy disease got the better of me. Quite a few of my peeps are moving forward with their career and lives - some are going to Singapore~ soooo jealous~ Ah well, good for them - jan lupa ole2 ah~ heheheh, just kiddin'. I actually forgot what it was that I wanna talk about so I'll just write whatever it is on my mind at the moment. Here goes...

I had my 24th birthday last month! Yay!~


My birthday cake that my mom especially ordered for me. It's a chocolate cake with Nestum. It's so gooey and rich that even I, with my love of chocolate, had to have a drink with every bite but it was worth it~. The photo above, if you didn't already figure it out, was edited by moi cuz it looked a lil' bit on the plain side~


Heheh, as you can see, I suck at decoration~


Finally got a chance to meet up with Sha~ Actually Mas was supposed to be there too but she got too busy what with her teaching job as well as the national day practice that she got roped into. Sha is currently in her gap year, just taking a break after graduating from Uni. Nas as usual is late, I swear she has no sense of the flow of time - it seems to move at a different pace for her. As for Zat, congratulations! She got the job she applied for (well duh..)!


Makan-makan and minum-minum




I went for a free check up at Hua Ho. I didn't actually went for the whole shebang but just enough to know my health status. My bodyfat, visceral fat and BMI are all normal but my BMR (Basal Metabolic Rate) was a bit messed up. It seems that I'm not eating enough to maintain my energy level. Hah! I eat more than my fair share but I don't know where the heck it all went. There's one good thing though, I'm no longer underweight! Hahah~ it might be misleading though, 'coz I was carrying my keys, chains so that I won't lose my keys (which I repeatedly did - so not cool) and various stuff on my person which I forgot to unload, and I had just polished off a plate of oil soaked junk that's sure to grease my heart valve~ So my weight at that time was a bit above my typical range.

I also got involved with my mom's dzikir activities for the upcoming Maulud Nabi celebration. It was fun plus we got to eat nyaman every night for more than week! Who says there ain't any such thing as free lunch?
