Aidilfitri in Perth

raya was the coolest day eversince 2nd semester started haha though i have projects, tests and assignments due the day after raya. owh anyway, of course going back home during the 1 week study break was way cooler. owh and i skipped a week lecture for a perfect 2 weeks holiday back home sweet home!

i just find that celebrating the 1st day of Syawal in Perth a little different than it has always been years before in Muar/Singapore.
sad, yes i do have those feelings, of course. i didn't get to salam my parents hands this raya; that i missed the most.

i probably have the slightest sad feeling among the people around me, and those raya songs had never gave a big significant feeling either. fyi, i didn't even know the full lyric of the simplest song.
raya to me is just another big family gathering with addition of rendang and ketupat on the table.

this year, i realized how the bond built makes the difference. and i know why it wasn't there in last year's raya and the years before. because i was never that close with my cousins and we seldom talk, we never got the same topic to talk about, and conversations never last longer than half a day. it saddens me to know that i enjoy raya with people i've just known than with those of my own blood and have known my whole life.

i know i miss everyone i'll be meeting during raya every year. i just don't know why i couldn't get the feelings right.

i'm hoping for a change.
in the future, be it raya in Perth, Singapore or Muar, it all going to be fun.

some raya photos on Facebook.
haven't really got the time to update photos in Picasa =p


p/s: ayah, mama, abang, Selamat Hari Raya. Maaf Zahir & Batin. i love u all.

cupcakes.

and i just thought these
cupcakes look cuuuuute!
^____^

btw, i help making them

i wanted to write something but there's just too much things to do
and lots of studies to catch up and i'm soo tired of reports.
so i just post pictures instead =p

(blank)

this catches me all the time

some choices are just out of reach..

my two cents aha!

break again, and nowhere to go...

i'm typing at the new Science library.
pretty much reminds me of the quiz i did on facebook;
"where will you be meeting your soulmate?"
and did my result turns out to be.."The Library"?
i reckon it's certainly a good place to meet one haha
especially when u have a library with a glass elevator in it!

toodles!

some not so up-to-date updates

it's already 2nd semester now. and i realized how long i've abandoned this blog heee
my last uni-related post was still about Dooley; who deleted me from his facebook account right after semester 1 ends. hey thanks, i don't need you in mine either!

i've been thru doom's day(s!) - a 4 days in a row exam.
i was almost being hit by a car driven by a colleage in Physics on the day i had Mechanics and, oh well, whom happen to look like Edward Cullen haha. so that was forgiven =p
then, mum came on the day i had my Physics test.

also tasted a month long winter holiday, owh finally.
we went a bit into nature at Caversham and King's park, and drove along the sunset coast up north to Hillarys and down south to Mandurah, besides having some other nicer things like the pau SS19 and mee bandung during mum's 2 weeks stay ^________________^
and i spend a week later hibernating in quilts at home haha really, no kidding!

next, housemates and i made our way to Melbourne, and then to Adelaide. we had a good 10-days remedy despite the swine flu that is overwhelming in the area aha! but spending money wasn't quite a remedy by the way! i realized how much i love Perth and the weather and the smartrider, and oh my god, i should've been thankful all these while.

and i guess, i had enough holidays by then. i had a perfect 1 week of boredom just before 2nd semester commences. so we spend the days watching videos on youtube till the last bit of the download quota and the internet reshapes again.

Perth's getting cold it seems. that's nice hee it doesn't snow but there're icy rainfalls for sure. it was raining solid perfect round-shaped mini ice pebbles on 1st day of uni. well, that was in Rockingham alright, nowhere in Nedlands. i thought it'd be quite an experience to see it fall but please, just don't fall when i'm cycling back home or to uni!

owh and lately, Mountjoy just feels too far away. probably it's because of the new house we booked in Bruce street and too bad we had another month to go on with this tiresome ride home. aja!

and that's just it for now.

to: kawan-kawan ku ^___^

came across this song a few minutes ago. sedih. T_T

It has been so long since we have talked
I hope that things are still the same
hoping they will never change
cause what we had can't be replaced
don't let our memories fade away
keep me in your heart for always

You made me believe
that I can do almost anything
stood right by me
through the tears through everything

I'll remember you,
and baby that's forever true
you're the one that I'll always miss
never thought it would feel like this
I'll be there for you,
no matter what you're goin' through
in my heart you'll always be, forever baby
I'll remember you

I promise you I won't forget the times we shared, the tears we cried
You'll always be the sun in my sky
It may be fate that brings us back to meet again someday
Even though we go seprate ways

If the day should come when you need someone
(you know that i'll follow)
I will be there
Don't ever let there
be a doubt in your mind
'cause I'll remember you, you

Forever baby, I'll remember you

[i'll remember you - no secrets]

gosh, i really miss u guys!

insignificant to me OK!

i just thought the lyric was kinda meaningful haha

I can take the rain on the roof of this empty house
That don't bother me
I can take a few tears now and then and just let them out
I'm not afraid to cry every once in a while
Even though going on with you gone still upsets me
There are days every now and again I pretend I'm ok
But that's not what gets me

What hurts the most
Was being so close
And having so much to say
And watching you walk away
And never knowing
What could have been
And not seeing that loving you
Is what I was tryin' to do

It's hard to deal with the pain of losing you everywhere I go
But I'm doin' It
It's hard to force that smile when I see our old friends and I'm alone
Still harder getting up, getting dressed, livin' with this regret
But I know if I could do it over
I would trade give away all the words that I saved in my heart
That I left unspoken

What hurts the most
Is being so close
And having so much to say
And watching you walk away
And never knowing
What could have been
And not seeing that loving you
Is what I was trying to do

Not seeing that loving you
That's what i was trying to do.

[Rascal Flatts - What Hurts The Most]

14) the very busy week

.Hani's study.

Monday 11/5 - i came to uni a little late as i was on Dynamics assignment that due at 3pm of the day. then there was Physics lab again at 3pm, the 7th lab. was about Snell's law. the experiment was kinda easy but i screwed pre-labs, owh! and my lab partner came in 50mins late, he said. i say it was an hour late haha luckily the other 2 guys were nice enough to let me join them and even nicer for making things easy for me by just sitting there waiting for the results haha then Dooley came in and did the same thing; waiting for me to pass him the results. owh and he kept apologizing for being late haha anyway i felt sorry for him everytime he asked me about the conclusion hee i never let him read mine, i reckon he'd laugh. i don't mean being kedekut ilmu OK, just hope u got that right. owh and did i tell u he's now on my facebook ahaha it's already the 7th time we did physics experiments together and only now i know the lab partner's name haha

.Dooley's wall post haha.
it's clearer if u click on it

Tuesday 12/5 - was that day everything went wrong haha
1) my watch ran out of battery, luckily i've got two
2) my bike has got flat tyres and i think it needs a tube change, owh! and so i took Radhiah's bike
then i thought of going to Kong's after class since i've to cook dinner today
3) i left my wallet at home, so no Kong's. masak la kau ape yang ada kat rumah tu! tidaak!
and then i just realized that i had to leave the bike in uni for Radhiah to cycle back with Fatin.
and so i walk to the bus stop and
4) i did not bring my smartrider!! and no money to pay for the bus fare! OMG!!
and so i ended up walking back home. huh!
no Versace.

.study!.
electronics huh! and red sweater faulkie 07 aha!

Wednesday 13/5 - Electronics test and its 3 hours lab. penat gile! and plus, we had to redo our lab due to system error and some not so helpful lab instructors! the day was soo tiring that i didn't get to stay up for long to study Physics. and no Versace again.

Thursday 14/5 - "another no show" haha maybe Versace changed lecture. OK enough of that...that night around 6.30pm after dinner when the sky was already very dark, Radhiah, Fatin and me went to uni. they both wanted to do thier Econs assignment and our house internet just not helping. and i, i went there for fun! haha uni at night was really cool. there were lots people at James O' playing some sports i wish i could join heh naah, dream on, they didn't even approve me joining UEC though i'm a part of the engineering faculty. enough said.

.study lagi!.
at Reid, and i was bored reading Physics

we went back home at 1am haha and it was around 14°C i guess, and yes, we cycle! btw, cycling pass thru the sprinklers was fun and i now realized how much UWA waste water ahaha

Friday 15/5 - since i came to uni just for Physics test, so no Versace again ahahaha probably his was at Ross not Clews where mine was.

.dan lagi!.
penat and trying to be creative in reading
so i wouldn't yawn haha

and that nite we hang out at uni again. it was great having dinner at Riley O' (as in we brought our own lunch pack, i mean dinner pack) haha that was F-U-N!! i suggest u should try at least once while u're in uni haha

Saturday 16/5 - we (Radhiah, Fatin, and me) hang out the whole day, but not in uni OK haha we went to Innaloo and then to Northbridge.

finally sampai jugak Perth mosque.
and makan something like ice-cream kat kedai!

turning 19

dah lama gila tak update blog!!

and not sure whether or not am able to update it frequently in the future. final semester exam's coming; got Maths, Mechanics, EE, and Physics to cover. owh! i've to be really rajin after this,
i will, i janji!

this was what i've got on my mind on the 6th May, but i haven't got the time on that day. owh and days later too due to piles of assignments and tests, huh! still got Calculus next week. just give me some time to babble a bit here before i start on that alright!

so that day was just another day, another normal Wednesday but with Calculus test very early in the morning!! and the nite before was just me and the 1964 Calculus book, booooring!!
right after Calculus test that went quite well i hope, i went straight home, and mumble to myself along the way, why today has to be so not special, full of nothing-ness?!
plus, i didn't get to see Versace ahahaha because i skipped EE and Mechanics - need some sleep, was up till late last nite preparing for the test.

i cancelled my plans to buy a cake at Subi or maybe Victoria Park. i'm just too lazy to take the bus and buy my own cake, how sedeh~ haha anyhow i know my housemates were up to something hahahahaha because:
#1: nobody in the house wishes me at all! though it was soo obvious in facebook they were notified bout people wishing me.
#2: i think i overheard something haha sorry, i didn't do that on purpose. i mean, well, who would want to spoil a surprise especially when it's their's? aha! and plus u know i hang around u guys almost everytime, so i pretty well knew how is that when u guys were trying to hide something ^_^ and that kinda show as well..
#3: the call Radhiah made, saying the bag i wanted was already out of stock. so what's that for if it wasn't telling the fact that she's looking for that bag probably..for me? huhu
#4: lastly, that try-to-buat-buduh thing just seems fishy to me hee

but yeah, tak kan nak tanya kan. like, are you guys planning a surprise for me? that's utterly stupid OK. so i continue with the super plain day that was suppose to be special ahaha
then i thought of cooking seaweed soup like in those Korean movies, they cook that on birthdays nyahaha pethatic u Hani, pethatic!
then i replied some comments on facebook
then...i swear to u this list is getting booooooorrrrrriinnngg!!
then i played mario till it was game over and i freaked out why does that mario have to fall off the cliff and got me a great big 'game over' sign popped out on my laptop screen with some irritating sound. ah! and now i'm back to BORED again!
then yes, luckily microsoft has solitaire! omg, see how bored i was?
then, it was the best ever, i slept the whole long afternoon with that regret - i should've went to lecture, at least there's Versace. well, i won't get him in Lectopia [online lecture] obviously aha!

not long after i woke up [it was dark outside!!], Radhiah came to my room and told me that Daniel and Vale was at our front lawn with a cake and some few things. and i was, whee!
thanx a million u both! the ice-cream cake was nice, really! and thanx for Jiliby, Dan!
and this one too, i knew Vale & Dan are coming [i sounded like i've some premonition powers ahaha] just not what the plans are. apart from eavesdropping again, i heard it very clear Dan said "see u later" which was not like other days that he would say "see u tomorrow" haha particular i am, isn't it? u never thought i'd realized that didn't u Dan?

.the ice-cream cake & Jiliby.

not long after Dan & Vale went back with the TV they took at our neighbour's front lawn haha, Radhiah came rushingly to my room again telling me that Pedram [the landlord's son] came to collect this month's house rent when i was busy talking to Ana and Timey that was suspiciously sitting in my room for a chat. huh! OK, so i was tricked!!! so they pulled me to the living room and there was the surprise; the big choc cake with the big 19 candle, pizza, pide, and some chips. owh and my mum on Skype. and then there was Amal later on, via Skype as well. thanx a trillion guys, sayang u all!

.housemates dearie.

i didn't realize that Pedram thing was part of the plan, ceh! u guys got me!
and no wonder Ana and Timey was in my room before that and never let me stop talking.
and Radhiah said Timey & her wanted to use the living room that nite to discuss some Asian Business stuff. but the Fatin wanted to watch Master Chef wasn't in the plan haha

11++pm that nite, Radhiah, Fatin and me sat outside the house in the cold [well, that has become our routine since then haha sometimes with laptops and hot coffee, sometimes just us and the sweater]. and then poof! the was a bag, in front of me. thanx again u both, i love it though it's not that Nica bag i wanted hee i love this one just the same =p

and let's call it a day. another memorable one.

owh and Kalor came a few days later
thanx! though it didn't paint my wish hahahaha

will be uploading the pictures to Picasa when i have the time alright ^_^

"macam tu la kawan.."

my watch ran out of battery this morning, so i took the other one with the dangling keys on it in the box. then i slipped in the wooden bracelet on to my left hand like everyday. the two things doesn't look quite match to each other. but i'm used to it there, i won't take it off.

then Radhiah told me,

"dah biasa kan ada tu kat tangan? macam tu lah kawan.
kalau tiba-tiba tak ada rasa lain"

true. very true indeed.
then i would never want to lose any that i have.
i don't want to feel the lost and never want the awkward.


p/s: i won't run away because of some decision u thought i couldn't take. i wouldn't mind!
whatever makes u happy, would make me. i swear! ^__^
