well. arau is not like hell because it's bad. it's like hell because it's literally THAT panas. im like never NOT sweating. and i feel so disgusting. ughh. dah la it took us like freakin' 10 hours get here, and i think within an hour, i already had countless of mosquito bites. O_O
but. all in all. it's okay laaa :):) the competition itself is funnn. even though im 3rd speaker. however. some of the adjudicators are a bit weird. and the ones that are not weird, are bad. hmmmmmmm.... but its all goooood laaa. this place is nice. so peaceful :):)
so yeahh...so far so good. shall update later with more details when im not wayyy too tired to do so :D
so yeahhhh. i just found out that i am going to 'arau open' tomorrow untill the 2nd. so i am trying my best to fit all of my clothes into one bag. but i failed. so now im using this huge-ass pink and purple (i know. weirdest colour combination ryte?) bag which just, looks... well. dumb. but my mum asked me to use it and it's the only bag that can fit all my stuff. so i kinda HAVE to use it. even though it makes me look like a fucking tourist.
so i might not be blogging for a while. also, im gonna miss my sister's play because of this debate tournament, so i hope this thing is worth it. and im hoping it would be shitloads of fun. x) though, i dont see why it has to be so long (1 week??!!).
oh. and im gonna be the 3rd speaker for this tournament which sucks because i've never been a 3rd speaker before. so im really hoping for the best or that some kind of miracle might happen because heck! i need one right about now. especially since it's gonna be in Australs style and i've never done the Australs style of debating before so im probably screwed there too. i mean it's bad enough to try and talk for about 7 minutes, now i have to do it in 8 minutes and i cant even waste time on POIs because there will be none. so basically, im doubly screwed. O_O
so i just wanna say sorry to my debating seniors in advance for any of my misgivings that might, no wait, WILL ensue in the course of me debating in Arau. and shit laa. it sucks that mai is not my partner anymore so i shall not have my emotional support system (lol!) when i get freaked out or anxiously nervous during prep time.
gosh. i have a feeling this thing is gonna suck. big time.

omg. im so proud of these bags. hope this thing really kicks off. and thanks so much hadi and haifaa for supporting! i wasn't sure if people even liked it. lol. and also, thanks so much mai, fyza and nadia for the amazing encouragement! you guys rock! :D:D
so i was at the Curve yesterday eating lunch with Mai, when Yaya suddenly called me up.
yaya: hey! omg. have you checked ur results? ain: wtf? its out? for real? huh? when? yaya: yeah. apparently it is. go check laa. ain: omg. okay. but im outsideee. so how did you do? (btw. congrats yaya, im so proud of you! :D u did great!)
so after the call, i kinda freaked out. i sooo badly wanted to check how much i got but had no means to do it. and we were trying desperately to recall any cyber cafes that we know of nearby (which we didn't). then i remembered that my hp could access the internet (lol. duhhhh ryte?) so thats when i checked my results.
and i was like WTF???!!!
it was surreal. i was soo shocked. but i couldn't stop smiling. i was just soo happy. all the late nights and flash cards paid off in the end. so thanks so much to everyone who helped me get this grade and tolerated my weird ass panicky, anxiety filled, pre-exam moments. you guys rock. seriously. especially fyza and mai. sorry for always acting up and being weird right before AND after a test (it's the stress!! lol.).
so after the initial shock, mai also used my phone to check hers too and she did sooo awesome as well. so we both decided to treat ourselves with a little bit of shopping. tee-hee. xD (what an excuse to waste money eh?)
so then we decided to go back early cause we had a sleepover planned later in the evening for Fyza's birthday and that was when mai realized she actually left her car keys in the car. but what was worse was the fact that she didn't even off the engine and since the car had to be manually locked, she didn't realize she left the keys in the car. so basically, we were stuck outside her car waiting for her dad to arrive while her engine had been running for the last 2 and a half hours. it was funny. her dad then came in and got the lock to open using this handy trick with what looked like a metal rod with a hook. we then proceeded to get lost somewhere in kerinchi and got stuck in a massive jam on the way home. yeah. it was not the best of days. O_O
but all in all, it still turned out to be great fun because the sleepover was awesome and i was still in a good mood as i was extremely content with my results (although i am a bit disturbed by the fact that i couldn't re-check the results on my laptop at home. hopefully, it does not change!! :):)). poor fyza though. she didn't check hers on time so she doesn't know her results. but im sure you did great laa babe! so dont worry too much! :D:D
and i know a lot of people did so much better for this sem then the last so i just wanna say congrats you guys! and once again, happy birthday fyza! :) ur so olddd now!! XD
to tell you the truth, im not generally a big fan of vegetables.
wait, thats a lie; let me rephrase that.
i absolutelyloatheating vegetables.
i detest how it looks and i hate how crunchy and delicious it sounds when people chew on it because it makes you want to eat it even though it's a huge lie!!
vegetables are not at all delicious or crunchy!! in fact, its usually soggy and bitter. so naturally, being a normal person who hates bitter and soggy things; i hate vegetables.
but vegetarian meat is a completely different thing alltogether. it's actually kinda yummy and it tastes almost like the real thing; except that the texture is different. the fake meat (which is made out of soy beans) is a bit more tough and dry. but hell, other then that, it tastes exactly the same! i was so amazed. lol.
before this, i never actually knew how vegetarians could live without eating meat. i mean, REALLY. how do they SURVIVEEE??!!! :S but now i know... they have this!:
on another note, i went to watch 'i love you, man' today with aiman. and i was expecting it to be hillarious since it's starring both Paul Rudd and Jason Segel (can we say 40 year old virgin and forgetting sarah marshall? lol.) and had rave reviews. oh. and also, Fyza said it was damn funny.
so yeah, i was expecting a lot before i watched it today. but i was hugely dissapointed, as once again, the fucked up Malaysian censorship system comes in as a killjoy and sucks the fun out of everything by literally censoring EVERYTHING.
especially the cuss words. bloody hell. i think they cut out certain snippets of conversations in the movie like a GAZILLION times because the cast swore so much. which was a shame because the cussing was supposed to be the best bits. it was what made the movie hugely entertaining. because, essentially, the movie was SUPPOSED to be filled with rude jokes and crude remarks about stupid things. but all i got was cut-off sentences and confusing jokes that made me go like, 'wtf is he talking about?' cause everything interesting was freakin' censored.
i dont get why you have to rate the goddamn movie as 18SG if you're going to cut out everything fun anyways. you might as well just make it a U rated movie. or better yet, leave it as 18SG and don't cut anything at all.
although....., despite the huge amount of censoring done on this movie, it was STILL relatively funny (thank god!) so i shall recommend people to watch this movie but NOT in the cinemas. go buy the DVD or something and make sure it is uncut because then you'll know you're getting ur money's worth. x)
i finally got my hands on Eliza Dushku's new series, "Dollhouse". im hoping it rocks like "Tru Calling" did so imma see how it is like first before actually recommending it to anyone x)
i finished another bag today. lol. im so proud! xD
and assman (lol!), if you're reading this. imma tell you now that there is NO WAY you can make me smoke or drink. you could try. but i shall resist. furiously. although, i shall contemplate on the shisha-ing part. haha.
so who do you guys think has the highest position in the world?
President Barrack Obama? the UN Secretary General? the Pope?
apparently, it's none of the above.
in fact, it's this guy right here:
(sorry that the picture's not clear. its bloody blogspot's fault O_O)
his name is Babu Sassi. a fearless young man from southern Indiais, the cult hero of Dubai's army of construction workers.
known as the "Indian on the top of the world", Babu is the crane operator at the world's tallest building — the 819-metre Burj Dubai. His office, the cramped crane cab perched on top of the Burj, is also his home — apparently it takes too long to come down to the ground each day to make it worthwhile. When the building is completed, its elevators will be the world's fastest.
Stories about his daily dalliance with death are discussed in revered terms by Dubai's workers. Some say he has been up there for more than a year, others whisper that he's paid 30,000 dirhams ($8,168) a month compared with the average wage of 800 dirhams a month. All agree he's worth it.
but im not JUST painting. im painting on bags. haha. (and now my room smells like shit due to the horrible stench the fabric paint is emitting. and all these fumes are literally making my head spin :S)
its a small project me and my sis are trying to venture into.
will explain in detail when im done painting all the bags.
but until then, here are the ones that we havesorta finished: (i hope you dont think it looks weird or lame even; we were going for something that screamed 'random'! xD)
it happened so fast. and i completely let it happen.
it feels kinda weird. to SORTA steal something that is. because i would like to very much think of myself as a nice person. generally speaking of course. no one is truly GENUINELY nice. well. not anyone that i know of that is.
so anyways. it happened when i was at the Big Bad Book Sale (yes. im not kidding. that was what the sale was called). Mama was queuing up to pay for the books that we chose while i quickly wander around the area frantically looking for any last minute books that interest me.
and that’s when i saw it. Cornelia Funke’s trilogy that included the books; Inkheart, Inkspell AND Inkdeath on paperback! i’ve read the first two books already and had always wanted to read the last one but could never afford to buy it cause they still havn’t released the friggin paperback version of the book.
so, excitedly, i picked up the book and almost foamed in the mouth when i saw the price.
it was only 15 RINGGIT!! that was INSANELY cheap! the book ‘Inkdeath’ alone, was still selling for about 70 bucks in normal bookstores as it was still only available on hard cover. so i quickly took it and showed it to mama. she agreed to let me have it (even though i already had the first two books at home and had already chose shitloads of books before) and i was ecstatic. until i saw a dent in the cover of the book that is.
so naturally, being the cheapskate that i was, i went to the place where i found it in hopes of finding a better copy.
there was none. i had the last copy in my hands.
and instead, i saw this woman staring pointedly at the book i was holding. i looked at her and she narrowed her eyes at me and i was like “What the hell is her problem?”; until i saw that she was carrying the box of books where i previously found the said book from. realization dawned on me like the mothafucker that i was.
the box which i THOUGHT was actually meant for customers to choose their books from was actually her box of books that she collected. because APPARENTLY, during the sale, you could take boxes which were not used and utilize them to carry the books of your own choosing.
she started walking towards me and the only thought that flashed through my mind was, “who the hell asked you to leave your box of books conspicuously unattended bitch?”. but since i was a coward, i didn’t actually say any of those things and quickly turned, walked as far as away as i could from her quickly and pretended to look at some books because, fuck, i wanted the book sooo badly and i was sooo not willing to give it up any time soon.
i was so scared that she would come after me and confront me because hell, i was a horrible liar but i forced myself to look back anyways and saw her heading towards the opposite direction. Phew! but guilt was a bitch and now i was like, should i return it or should i quickly run back to mama (who by now may be wondering where the heck did i go off to) with the book?
So because i was a scumbag, i kept the book, quickly went to mama, paid for it, got back into the car and drove home feeling like a naughty naughty girl. Even though, TECHNICALLY, i didn’t really steal anything cause she didn’t actually paid for it yet.
But STILL. The memory of not returning the book to her is now permanently etched in my mind forver.
Talk about being stupidly obsessed over one dumb incident huh? Lol.
PS: btw, for those book lovers out there, this warehouse book sale is seriously awesome. Better then both the times and mph warehouse book sale held recently. I seriously SERIOUSLY recommend people to go there to get good bargain for books. Most of the books are going at rm8 each, regardless of whether or not they were bestsellers or merely self-help books. I almost went cross-eyed trying to get as many interesting book titles as i could. It was seriously THAT cheap. X)
i finally got to watch the movie, 'angels and demons' this afternoon with my mom (another dan brown fan) and my sister (well. she just wanted to come even when we told her explicitly that it was 18SG). She was terrified and confused throughout the whole movie. lol.
so anyways. i dont want to spoil the movie for any dan brown fans out there but let's just say that it was wayyy better then the da vinci code. and i was soooo glad that Tom Hanks FINALLY changed his horrendous hairdo for this movie. in the last one, he looked like a rockstar wannabe. eww.
so yeahhh...i've always preferred angels and demons (which was originally the first book BEFORE the davinci code not the other way round btw) over the da vinci code and my expectations for this movie were fulfilled. Although, they did cut huge chunks of the book in the movie leaving out some stuff which made the movie a bit confusing.
BUT, it was still interesting in the end so i highly recommend this movie for those of you who havn't read the book and for those who have, i don't think you'll be disappointed :):)
i know i havn't been exactly updating my blog regularly. in fact. this blog has been dead for ages cause my malas gene kicked in and i was wayyy too weak willed to resist it! :)
but now, since i have nothing better to do, i shall TRY to update my blog more often. god knows i need to do something productive during the holidays so that i dont stuff myself to death with junk food. xD
btw. i received this hillariously true story through email this morning and i thought it would be funny to share it with you guys. x)
poor guy. i bet he gets this all the time. what horrible parents to name their kid that way! x) and he's even our age! XD and omg. his birthday is today too. haha.

dysfuntional details
ain aissa is always thinking about food, wishing she could fly, obsessing over silly things & spacing out in between conversations. she sometimes literally thinks that everyone is out to get her and that the world is against her. talk about paranoia! yeahhhh. she's weird that way.
grrrrreat. and now she's talking in a 3rd person's point of view. well. that about sums everything up. O__O
