oh baby

The promised picture spam. Sorry if its too vain. You know how I am with the camera *grins* Especially with Mei's Supersampler.

Hello dear paper bag monster :D

I'm so fat. Look at my thighs. Ahhh.

My darling Awat monster. Can you say "Raaaaaar"?

I'm a Facebook addict. Everyone knows that. Lol

And in the midst of boredom, my Pakistani brother sent this. Thank you dear brother for reminding me, NOT.

It was raining outside and I was terribly bored.

Exams are around the corner and I have promised myself that today will be the last day I'll ever be online and then back to hiatus until after Deepavali because I'll be in Kedah for yet another wedding and I'll be back on the 28th. Crazy, I know. And yesterday I was in PJ for a wedding as well; the continuation from the one in Kemaman the other day.

So, studies are going pretty well. My brain is currently saturated with History; perjanjians, the Brooke family, names, places etc. In my brain, all I can think of is History, History and more of History. The other day while I was playing piano to unwind, suddenly pops out the areas of Sarawak which the Brooke family conquered back in, uh, 1853 until the early 1900s *sighs*

And I haven't finished my art folio yet which we're supposed to submit this...Thursday. Darn, I'm sooo dead. My dad was like, "Asyik folio je". Yeah, I know. Hello, Ministry Of Education. Can you stop these abundance of folios! We've got to study for exams lagi, and you guys expect us to do folios. What lah. We're tired you know.

Ah, and today's Yuna's EP launch. I think I mentioned once about Dizzy and The. I can't remember. Anyway Auntie Alia, who's my dad's cousin; also (I think) a friend of Yuna's, offered my dad to bring me to Yuna's EP launch. But dad conveniently said I had exams, so I can't go. Darn darn darn );

Oh, and picture spam coming up. I'm going to edit some of them first, but Picnik is...I don't know, wierd? But yeah, I'll post some pictures. Of yesterday's wedding and also some from my photo shoot. Yeah, I did one in my room. I couldn't stand anymore of History so I set up a mini-so-called-studio in my room and put the camera on self-timer mode. Haha. I'll post them up :D

Here's a mini preview:The background is actually a fabric which dad bought from Ikea. I was supposed to sew a bag for myself out of that fabric, but the sewing machine is at the shop for servicing. So...yeah.

mundane

Raya holidays are over and-literally-hell starts. Final exams are about to start in a week's time and there are nearly 11 subjects to study in that amount of time. I don't know if I can cope. I can barely start studying as it is, but I've promised myself to start studying tomorrow night. I'll be making a last minute timetable just for the finals and after that I'll be sticking to my old routine.

Anyway, today's Monday and its also the first day of schooling after the Raya holidays, which seemed to have passed by like a breeze. At school, Raya stories were exchanged here and there, duit raya requests being made from up, down, left and right, open house invitations being extended and such. Speaking of open houses, mum said we might be having one next weekend. And not to mention, in the midst of the finals! Grhhh. I'm feeling more mundane than ever.

Also, to add to the mundane-ness in the air I have recently acquired dermatitis. My skin is covered with little spots which has fluid in it and it is supremely itchy but the doctor gave me a small tub of Betnovate cream which is siblings to Bactrobane and also this other medication. Pill more like it, but I forgot the name. No matter.

Ohyes, Izzat had a hair cut. And it looks like The Beatles haircut. Haha. Since watching Across The Universe I'm into The Beatles. But then again, who wouldn't be into The Beatles? Hoyea, they're awesome :D

Here's some of the tracks which I enjoy listening to:

1. I Want You (She's So Heavy)
2. All You Need Is Love
3. I Want To Hold Your Hands
4. Yellow Submarine
5. Hey Jude
6. Blackbird

and another

Oh Jim Sturgess, I'm in love with you.

I know, I'm helpless. I fall in love with every scruffy, cute, good-looking guy. And not to mention, he's got a real good voice. Want proof? Watch Across The Universe. I watched it two nights ago with Fara and Sarah at the hotel as a midnight movie. Well, Sarah wasn't exactly watching because she was drawing something.

But anyway, its a good musical.

yet another Raya passes by

Raya this year was okay. But it wasn't as vibrant and lively as the previous years. Maybe one of the reasons is that my dad's younger brother wasn't there on the first of Raya because his children had to celebrate the first Raya with their mum only to come back for Raya with their dad the next day. So yeah, you get the idea. They're divorced, but that's another story.

Anyway, first day of Raya was the same as every year. Everybody frantically searching for missing brooches, sampins, songkoks etc. Anyways, as usual nearly everyone went out for Raya prayers at the surau behind embah's house. The rest staying at home were etiher watching tv or preparing breakfast in the kitchen or getting ready. Around 9 am, everyone was at home eating at the table. After breakfast, we had our photography session which went on quite fluently eventhough Nabil, Umar and Ibraheem were running around the house.

On the second day of Raya, we didn't exactly visit anyone because we had Hajar's belated birthday celebration at home which started around 1 pm. But mostly everyone started arriving at 2 pm or so. My aunt cooked laksa Johor and there was a banana-choc Secret Recipe cake. Oh yeah, we do have Secret Recipe here in Muar. But even so, I only ate half of a piece of it. I thought I was going to eat much more than that, but I didn't. Impressive innit. Haha. Anyway, I had fun.

Third of raya, we went up to Terengganu because my uncle is getting maried. I'll post about that later today, I hope. Oh and I didn't take that much of Raya pictures with Minolta but I did take a lot of pictures of the nikah. None of the persandingan though because Yusof and my other cousins just had to use, like, 10 shots of the film. And I'm going to demand him to use his duit Raya to get me another roll of film.
