30, Bring it on!!

Yes, im officially 30 today!! Say no more, 30 is my number this year.. Deal with it, okay!

With that, im now the new member of 3.0 series club.. turning 30 shud be a great thing in life.. just let nature take its course and live each moment with big heart.. or how Ain puts it, "age with grace"

I started my day today like any other normal Sunday.. i left home as early as 8.00am when i had to rush for my class.. Had several assignments to be completed today and did a presentation along the way.. Alhamdulillah, everything went on smoothly and the class ended at 3.00pm.. Right after, i came back home to fetch my momma as she wanted to go to the PC Fair and grabbed everything she needed.. before heading home, we had a bite for an early dinner, it was on my momma and the day ended just fine.. so if u ask me, what did i do on my 30th birthday, hence the aforementioned are about all.. :)

A birthday celebration is not something i would look forward to when turning 30.. it doesnt get my dreams materialized.. thoughts and prayers from the love ones and significant people in my life are something that would blow me away and melt my heart overwhelmingly.. Alhamdulillah, in mere astonishment, im truly overwhelmed with the numbers of wishes that were sent across by family and friends.. never thought that i'll be getting such a big number of wishes and prayers.. as im typing this, i can see there are more wishes coming in as well.. thanx guys for the thought and prayers.. love y'all!

Hurm, most importantly i wanna thank my parents for all the love.. thank you for bringing me up with such tender loving care.. without you, i wont be here, typing this entry, making life a greatest deal on earth.. i hope that the Almighty will grant both of you a great long live to let me share my happiness with you.. my heart always goes to both you.. i love you.. :)

Before i get too sappy and emotional, i think i shall stop now.. but before that, i have few interesting quotes on turning 30 to share here.. :)


"The secret of staying young is to live honestly, eat slowly, and lie about your age." - Lucile Ball

"After 30, a body has a mind of its own."- Bette Midler

"30 is the new 20, unless your 20, then it's the new 40." - Dane Peddigrew

"Age is a number and mine is unlisted." - Anonymous

and my favorite is..

Age is Just a Number

Age is a mind over matter.. if u dun mind, why bother.. Yeah, As If!! im still in denial.. huwaaaa!!

With heavy heart, i finally have to bid au revoir to my 20s.. owh toodles darling, you've [read: youth] been great companion.. i guess it's time that i need to come to term with the course of nature.. Aging is part and parcel of life, everybody has to through it and im no exception..

Being a fickle-minded person, probably now is the best time to grow up and to start take life seriously.. well, it should have taken place long ago but you see, being me, im a late bloomer in everything.. tehee!! frankly speaking, even now, if being asked what do i want in life, all i can do is to shrug my shoulders.. so, hold that thought.. i'll get back to that once i've found my answer.. well, once a fickle-minded, always a fickle-minded.. old habits die hard!! muahaha..

Well, tonite is my last night of being 20s, im enjoying it while it lasts.. and im celebrating it with tones of assignments that are crying for my attention tonite.. says who HRM is easy peasy, piles of assignments are waiting in the queue.. i dunno if i can nail this one but it doesnt kill to hope, aight?

So peeps, i need to get back to my assignments.. this is my last entry in my 20s [as if anybody cares, muahaha].. well, to all 80s [1980] babies out there, i wanna shout, Let's seal the deal of making it great being 30!! teheeee!!

Bau Serigala Memberontak?

Ya Allah.. sapa la yang buat subtitle untuk Eclipse tuh.. lawak gile.. aku, naem & nida tak tahan siot gelak2 baca subtitle dia.. like WTH.. "minum teh ais di laman" "bau serigala memberontak" tak bleh tahan, beb.. muahahahaha

nama je tgk citer lomantik2 nih tapi kitorang dok bantai gelak je sepanjang movie.. dah la dialogue dia mmg la cheesy meezy.. cair earwax aku dgr smp meleleh.. muahaha.. aku rasa org keliling kitorang sure bengang giler ngan kitorang.. bising je!!

To Lucy, nih review aku.. hurm, aku rasa aku tak suke sgt Eclipse.. nothing can beat, Twilight.. neither New Moon nor Eclipse.. tapi ini review dari aku yg hanya baca separuh jalan je buku si Stephenie Meyer itu.. so mungkin takleh pakai sgt la kot.. ehehe.. anyways, i think what kept me awake throughout the movie was the hawt-ness of my wolf yg buff itu.. kalo takat tgk si vampire kulit bersinar2 dgn bedak tempek di muke kecuali tinge nye, maybe dah lama aku doze off.. muehehe.. owh, tapi kepada sesapa yg suke smooching2, probably suke layan citer nih sbb you can get lots of it.. siap ada scene bella ngan jacob comolot lagi.. tehee!! owh btw, dakota fanning nmpk sgt la matured (more like tua) dlm citer nih, sama la cam New Moon dulu.. all in all, kalo ikut rating aku, eclipse can only bagged 3 out of 5 stars.. tapi kalo nak mintak komen yg lebih menarik, bleh tanya nida ngan naem la eh lucy.. :)

Hurm, since Eclipse didnt really caught my interest, let's leave it at that, okay.. owh, an update to my previous entry about paul the octopus.. i heard in hot.fm this morning that Paul receives a death threat.. the Argentinian fans are on verge to get Paul killed.. owh Paul, u lil poor thing.. so, is there such mission to protect Paul like Witness Protection Program or something? let's save our tentacle buddy.. tehee!! owh, i also heard Paul wudnt be predicting for the final match.. He only predicts the matches where Germany is playing.. so Paul, you're are off the hook from the final heat, babeh.. tehee!!

Sotong Kurita Salai Masak Lemak Cili Padi

Ini bukan entry resipi.. tapi entry untuk Paul the Octopus.. muahaha.. ada ke sotong boleh predict matches.. mmg lawak antarabangsa betul!!

ko predict baik2 Paul, kalo tak mau ada org nak salai ko buat masak lemak cili padi.. muahahaha.. (btw saya tak tgk World Cup pon)

Paul Octopus World Cup Prediction : Spain will be World Cup 2010 Champion.This brilliant German Octopus already stunned all the German fans and always predicted that Germany will win but for the World Cup 2010 Semifinal prediction between Spain vs Germany, Paul Octopus selected Spain.

In the last ,match of Germany vs Argentina,Paul Octopus World Cup Prediction was for Germany and that also proved true.Now Paul Octopus score is 5 out of 5.Lets see that Paul Octopus recent Prediction will be a hit or flop.

Im Dyslexic, are you?

or is it lack of self confidence? hurm, beats me!

to me spelling is hard.. it is so hard that even simple words that we use everyday like "Happy", "Celebration", "Challenge" can get me confused and drag me to take a peep in the dictionary.. i thank Merriam Webster & Mozilla Firefox for being such great personal assistance.. i've lost count of how many times i found myself stuck on my writing because i got myself confused over the jumble up spellings especially when it is a handwritten task.. in fact, as im writing this, im very much depended on Firefox's spelling check, thank god that Firefox enables spelling check on this browser, that's why i prefer Firefox over IE as my favorite browser.. i cant remember how many times i have hit the right click button to correct my spellings..

it's not that im unfamiliar with these words, i know how they are spelled.. perhaps, it's just more of my plain carelessness.. i can get easily confused when my inner voice starts questioning "it that its correct spelling?".. that's why a simple word can be a real toughie.. damn, it's more of confidence problem, i reckon.. tehee!! an instance that i can quote is about what happened yesterday when i wanna write a birthday wish to my colleague, K.Marsel.. i was about to write Happy Birthday to you and suddenly i got myself confused when i heard my inner voice questioned "is Happy correctly spelled as Happy?" damn, it's annoying is it? i feel stupid when i cant even spell a simple word that we come across daily such as "Happy".. huhu!!

for having this "disability", i find meetings and brainstorming sessions are among the most dreadful things in the world.. it is because my boss loves to ask me to jot the gist on whiteboard.. it dreads the hell out of me as if im caught in a horror movie.. to hide my "disability", i would normally jot the gist in short forms accompanied with hideous handwriting so that no one would notice my jumbled up spellings.. tehee.. another dreadful scenario is during exams.. i dun have merriam-webster or firefox by my side to help me out.. i cant neither use short forms nor present my hideous handwriting on examination sheets.. so what are the options i have? i would just have to settle with what's best i have and pray hard that my spelling just wudnt fail me.. Deep Sigh!! it's hard to be dyslexic, aight..

Monday is Back

Owh Goodness Gracious, it's Monday again.. so here comes the blues, baby!! What is Monday without its blues, aight? tehee!!

Poor, Monday.. it's not its fault to come after Sunday.. we shud blame Sunday instead for making it so hard to let go.. what is the crap am i talking about.. sorry, i blame Monday for that.. muahaha..

Since today is Monday, my mood to dress up is caught up in the blues as well.. after Subuh prayer i decided to prolong my sleep until 7 before i get up to bathe.. the idea of ironing on Monday morning seems daunting to me, hence i decided to wear something convenience instead.. the beauty of having a long cardigan is that i dun have to iron the shirt im wearin' inside, i just have to fasten my cardi's 3 upper buttons to hide the crumples and i was all set to go... and an ariani was also a great help to get myself ready in a jiffy.. so, in 10, i was all ready to get myself walking through the blizzard of Monday blues.. no make-up accompanied me today, no compact powder nor lipstick.. im the all black lady today, wearing black cardi, black tudung, black pant.. talk about the blues, huh! tehee..

hurm what else to story mory yea? Owh, my arm is still swollen, subsided a lil bit though.. the swell has gotten smaller to the size of 50cent coin.. so i guess that's about all, i have nothing else to share.. i have a Monday Blues to take care of today.. :)

Owh Sweet Niblets!!

A swollen arm doesnt stop this unnie from blogging, huh? i guess not.. ;)

Talking about the swollen arm, it was the 'masterpiece' of last friday's H1N1 vaccination jab.. never thot it wud swell like this.. it's bigger than 50cent coin, hokay!! and i can hardly lift my arm.. huhu.. i hope it will subside in no time..

The truth is, i dun have anything interesting to blog about today.. in fact, i have nothing interesting to do the whole day, just lazing around on the couch like a spud, makin' myself a couch potato of the day.. hurm, i have the urge to bake but im saving my mom from nagging as there's no one @ home to indulge it.. my budak buchuk is already off to UTHM yesterday, she's the only one with sweet tooth in this house, apart from my other 2 sisters whom aren't here as well.. so, terbantut la haku punya semangat nak membaking!

As im typing this, i guess have been yawning for like an umpteen times.. so, what's left in the to-do list ? What else aight, tuck myself to schleeep la nampaknya.. cuaca redup nih mmg besh buat tahi mata.. kena plak lepas lunching kan.. kihkih.. citer kat tv pon tak menariks kan..

Anyways, before let myself curl up in the bed, let me share another cute lil munchkin from "Love is.." comic strip.. :)

Adios!!

TGiF!!

Thank God it's Friday, people!! Hooooray!!

But, what makes me even more ecstatic today is because my beloved boss is on leave.. can't help to grin evilly... muahahahaha!! so what's left to be done today? hurm, nothing?? yeah, it's party time, people!! buweks!

We had a breakfast feast just now.. it was a farewell party for one of our practical student.. A hearty breakfast seize the day especially when the boss is not around.. teheee!! and last night, i made nigella's choc chip muffins to be served today at the party.. i like the nigella's because it's not too sweet to suit with my liking.. the sweetness from semi sweet choc chic is good enough to sweeten the batter.. those with sweet tooth might not like it, though.. since today im in a good mood, i feel like it to share the recipe.. :)
