Puke My Guts Out

I went to watch the 55th Filmfare Awards last week and I must say I was left slightly disappointed. I think SRK and Saif were still quite funny, rude and cheap during some parts (which was the whole point of getting them to host btw), but I just think they had been better.

That's why I watched bits of the previous shows today and yes, I still laughed at the same old jokes - like when Jadoo and Preity got married, why couldn't Jadoo perform on their first night?

Good times, good times.

And those Kantaben moments, haha hilarious.

Oh, Shahid performed btw. But he was actually playing a tribute to MJ.

Hold up, wait a minute. Didn't MJ like passed away almost half a year ago or something?? And isn't Filmfare Awards supposed to be a platform to celebrate their local talent??

So why was there a need to play a tribute to MJ?? Yes Shahid, we get it, you are an awesome dancer. But do a tribute to one of the Bollywood legends or something!

Haiya, show off la tu...

But he's still as cute as ever. That's why I bought the latest edition of Filmfare magazine cause he's on it. Haha as simple as that. Thanks Farhana :)

And then, there's Cinta Ixora. I swear their marketing strategy is spectacular. They must have thought "Let's just get good-looking actors, who cares if they can act or not, because ratings will still be high anyways".

And dammit, it's bloody working! On me atleast.

I gotta admit, if it was a different cast, especially for Syarif's and Haizad's parts, I wouldn't follow this show as religiously.

And oklah, the drama is quite entertaining. But it's more like WTF entertaining, cause that's what goes through my mind most of the time. Or if not, I will be cringing and gagging cause Syarif is holding that Bloody Bat's hand. Or laughing at Haizad for trying to be creepy.

I actually hope that the drama won't end anytime soon. But since Suria is showing it twice a week, I doubt so now.

Lastly, Happy 22nd Wedding Anniversary to my parents. Here's to an everlasting marriage and a happy family. Cheers :)

Let The Rain Fall Down


I watched My Name Is Khan yesterday, after procrastinating for so long, due to money and exams issue. But now I'm free and I can watch movies and more movies :D



I like the movie very much and I actually want to watch it again.



Inititally, I thought what is up with Bollywood and their "Islam is not a terrorist religion" issue?? They had 2 movies precedent to this, which are New York and Kurbaan, so I was skeptical about this movie.



But it turned out different that the other 2 movies. It sorta portrayed Islam in a much positive light that the other 2 movies. I think people should watch it, especially the non-Muslims.



I surely hope that this movie will win alot of awards this year :)



Speaking of awards, the 55th Filmfare Awards show is going to be shown on tv tonight. And guess who is hosting? It's SRK-Saif again!! Omg I simply love that jodi. This is like their 4th time hosting together, so I'd say that should account for something.



I've already seen the trailers actually. They do look quite different than the first time they appeared together, but I think they are still going to be as witty, rude, sarcastic and nonsensical as ever :D



I'm just keeping my fingers crossed that nobody wants to watch any footbal match tonight so that I can devote 5 hours of my entire life just for the 55th Filmfare Awards show.



And yes, in that tiny screen too.



So! If my previous entry was all about "hating with passion", though Mira seemed to like it haha, let's just try to be more positive this time round eh?



On Friday, I met up with Midah at IMM after 2 long weeks. We had our durian pancakes as per normal.



And we talked. And bitched. And laughed. And talked somemore.



It was so therapeutic to a certain extent, because I felt as if I had so many things that I had kept to myself for so long, that it felt so good to let it all out to someone who won't judge me and someone who understands me well.



And that made me think. Maybe somday, just for the fun of it, I might just go see a real psychologist. I'm just curious on what a real pro would say about me. Because I think I'm quite demented actually.



After the "therapy session" I came home, did alot of thinking, and now I'm less negative. I'm all for positive aura man! I don't know when this will last, but hopefully for a long run :)



Later that night, about 1:30am, Mira and I talked on the phone. Being typical us, we managed to come up with the most random of things ever to talk about. This time, it was all about Power Rangers and McDonalds and Blue's Clues and Barney and Friends, and lots more.



Questions that we came up with:

1) In Power Rangers, when they called for their MegaZords, where the hell do the robots come from?



2) Did you know that Blue is actually a female?



3) What the fuck is the original Asian yellow Ranger's name?

(Answer: Trini, credits to Mira)



Hence, on Saturday afternoon, I watched Power Rangers and Lion King with my siblings. Another therapy session that went well :)



Hopefully, it's going to be a good week.

Oh Bugger!

I'm currently waiting for my stupid brother to come home from swimming. I don't wait for that brother of mine to come home...ever! The only reason why I'm doing this is because that idiot took my shampoo to go swimming.

I can think of so many curses right now, but of course, it's not nice to curse your own brother right? Pfft.

It is so irritating! Ok, I would still be irritated if it concerns anyone else, but of course I'm slightly more irritated than usual because it's him.

Borrow my stuff. Fine, whatever. But have the bloody decency to inform me in advance. Don't make me wait here, all hot, cause I don't have my shampoo with me. Cause I don't like the fact that I'm actually waiting for you to come home now.

Cause I don't care if you come home usually anyways.

People say it's wrong to hate a sibling. But nobody knows anything, so nobody has any right to say anything.

Some people say they can forgive, but they cannot forget. Bullshit y'all. When you forgive, you forget. If you can't, means you haven't forgiven that person totally. As simple as that.

Since that's the case, it means I haven't forgiven alot of people. But that's also because some of them never really bothered to ask for forgiveness anyways. But we'll just stroll along hmm, pretend everything is sunshine and roses right?

Ahhh, so much hatred in one body. I do hate with passion.
But I do love with lots of passion as well :)

Let's end this entry on a positive note, right?

So I had my first paper today. I'm trying not to jinx anything but all I'm going to say is when I read the questions in the paper, I smiled :)

So all along I thought my second paper is on Wednesday. I've even took leave from work. But when I talked to Neetha just now, it turns out, my second paper in on Thursday! Wow.

I am selenge. Right Mira?

Don't Ask.

I need a longer attention span. Seriously man.


Taking a break every half hour isn't good at all (I think). But what to do? After half hour into reading some notes, my mind will start wandering off into work issues, friends or some random past experience.

But I'd say taking frequent breaks is better than not studying at all :D


Zimah, Hisham and I all had have tests/exams today. All the best to us! Hopefully all the hard work minus all the rojak and briyani breaks yesterday will pay off :D

And what is up with the weather man? So so so hot!! Suddenly shower 2-3 times a day isn't enough.

So...we are all psychos to some extent huh?


I've learnt to accept my friends for who they are, the psychotic parts and all. I've stop asking questions, cause I realised I rarely get answers for them anyways.

And if they can accept me for who I am, the crazy bits and all, then the least I can do is do the same for them.


True, I may not agree with some of the decisions that they made, but I try to support them nonetheless.

When they cry over the phone for something I consider minor, when they tell me about their dilemmas that I consider stupid or when they are so self-indulgent about their life, I'll still be here, listening.


Because I do the same stupid things too. And I expect them to be there for me. And if they can do that for me, then I should be there for them at any point of time in our lives.


We all function differently. We have our own obsessions, we have that one or two things that we are absolutely crazy about. Just because my obsession is different from yours, doesn't make mine any wrong.


Let's just learn to accept alright. Like I said, if your friend can do the same for you, then you should too.

Farhana, after doing some thinking, I can actually come up with 2 things that I might turn into a psycho for. But of course I'm not going to tell you la. That would spoil the drama :)

Come...Fall in Love!

So...Guess who's not at work right??
ME!!

Well, it's not like I wanted to pon, but I had stomachache and slight diarrhoea. My mum laughed when I told her that cause she thought it was funny that I declared myself sick and unfit for work just because of one trip to the toilet for you-know-what.

But to be fair, I've been to the toilet 3 times now. Also, I just have this thing about shitting in public toilets, or at other people's houses even, you know.

When you have diarrhoea, I swear the most heavenly place that there is in this world is probably in the comfort of your own toilet. Yesss :D

Enough of toilet-talk. Let's talk about romance...sorta.

Q. What does Rani do when she heard a noise at her window?
A. Go check out, and see SRK there.

Ok on Sunday, Farhana turned up, not at my doorstep, ok not at my windowsill either, haha, but outside my house near a tree, if I remembered correctly.

And she gave me the latest edition of Filmfare, with SRK and Kajol on it and asked me out to watch My Name Is Khan, in probably the most romantic way ever, with all these random Post-Its and unicorn(??). Haha I swear if she was a guy, I would have totally swooned and fallen in love with him.

But reality check, Farhana's a girl, and that's alright :)

Ok exams.
I sooo can't wait for exams to end because I have so many things I want to do but I can't do them cause a) exams!! and b) I'm broke.

I can't wait for payday next month. Well, I can never wait for paydays actually. Paydays are awesome. It makes you feel so rich :)

I want to watch movies, do my Food Fiesta and probably chill out more with babes.

Oh! And guess who's turning 29 tomorrow?? It's Shahid Kapoor baby :D If I don't have exams to study for, I might actually go out and celebrate, hehe.

Ok break time's up. Gotta hit the notes back. Toodles!!

Burn, Baby, Burn

I want to be able to sleep at 9pm like Saf, but I can't. I just simply can't bring myself to skip AI and ANTM and go to sleep, though I want to do that soooo badly!

I miss my girlfriends.
I miss chilling out my Clarke Quay.
I miss eating cheesecakes and getting lost in the pleasure.
I miss good old times.

But what to do right? We are all too busy with our own stuff. I count myself lucky if I can just meet one of you atleast once a week.

I'm probably just emo-ing abit. I think my menses is coming, hehe.
Ok too much info...

Today, after I got fed-up with work, I took a break and called Mira. As it turned out, reception in my area was pretty bad. But it is CBD area!! It's not at Jalan Kubor or something.

Ok Jalan Kubor is this lane that Midah and I saw last Sunday at Bugis.
My first reaction: Hah!!

I remembered walking from Bugis to Outram Park with Farhana before and we managed to save about $0.20 (pfft!). On last Sunday, Midah and I walked the opposite direction, ending up in Kallang.

Actually, to be fair, we were trying to walk towards Little India, but halfway through, I realised we were on a totally different direction altogether. But it's alright. It was a 30mins workout afterall :D

I'm trying to be a better daughter now. Ok, to be exact, a better "anak dara". Omg Malays and their "anak dara". What is wrong with an anak dara waking up at 12pm??

Apparently, anak daras don't do that.
Well, I do that. And I'm not the only one. Deal with it!

But yeah, try saying that to your parents. You'll be happy if you just get a tight slap on your face.

So!! No more waking up at 12pm on Saturdays. I hope we can compromise and agree on 10am, because anything earlier than that is going to be bitch. Bitch, I say!!

Life is becoming a routine now. Sometimes it can be quite boring. But what to do right?
I don't care about you anymore. But like what Mira said, there's always a little emotion in "I don't care". Ok...of course I care! But I can't bother about that right? Afterall, you are leaving in a week's time. My burung kakak tua is leaving. Omg, that doesn't even sound romantic at all, Julie :(

Just Serenade Me, Honey

I just don't want February to end for reasons better left unspoken of. I might as well start counting the days to the end of February :(

That you were Romeo, you were throwing pebbles
And my daddy said stay away from Juliet
And I was crying on the staircase
Begging you please don't go, and I said

Romeo take me somewhere we can be alone
I'll be waiting, all there's left to do is run
You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess
It's a Love Story, baby just say yes

Aaahhh, I'm citing Taylor Swift. Now that's not a good sign.

To all those going to KL, Terengganu or wherever, have a safe journey. Happy holidays :)

My holidays...Gosh, I have so many Hindi movies DVDs with me right now that I want to watch. Gotta find time somehow, gotta find time :)

This just can't be summerlove, you'll see :)
