sebab aku rindu korang…

aku dilanda kemalasan dan kesibukan…dont worry, aku masih ingat korang…tapi nowadays, I have less things to complain about kot…

kalau nak complain pun malas sebab aku tau ‘diorang’ baca

kalau nak complain about things in general pun malas sebab malas nak offend people…

walaupun technically,aku sebenarnya tak kisah pun offending people kalau aku tau aku betul

somehow nowadays aku dah macam more tolerant and more patient towards negativity in general…

i hate to say this…tapi macam dah jadi semakin……BAIK!!!

EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!

(sarah mesti bangga wtf!)

kalau nak cakap pasal happier stuff pun macam malas jugak…sebab aku buat blog ni as a way to vent about things that affect me negatively and such…

and I think if you’re happy, why should you waste SO much time talking about how happy you are/were, when you can use that time to gain MORE happiness or at least use it to enjoy the happiness that you’re experiencing….

betul tak?

so, maybe from now on, this blog will have more pictures, less words…(padahal sebelum ni pun bukan macam tu ke?)

SWEDEN

my backyard

I swam at this lake once…at NIGHT!!!

you can only imagine how cold it was!!!

 

I also went sailing for the first time here…

 

my humble abode…

aptly named “The Roundhouse, A Great Place to LIVE!”

My shadow and the capitol building which is a few blocks away from my house…

sembahyang RAYA!

the people here wore some VERY interesting traditional costumes…

and im sure diorang pun rasa baju melayu pelik…lol

“like why the fuck are you guys like wearing a gold skirt over like your shiny pants”

“they must be gay”

the capitol

lake wisconsin

I really dont know the name of this place…

prairie

hayride

(google it)

CHICAGO!

this was just behind my house…

there was another one today too!

W

is for WISCONSIN!

this was on state street which is in front of my house…

my pockets were bulging because there were sooo many freebies…

tapi budak-budak kecik yang gila babi konfiden yang diorang comel dapat LAGI banyak benda…

t-shirt la, rantai, semua diorang dapat lah…

NOW i know why people have kids!!!

state street

I think this has got to be the post with the least amount of vain shots of myself…

yes it’s true….

AKU DAH TAK VAIN AND MALAS NAK JADI VAIN!!!

but I think I’ve spent close to 1000USD on clothes already…lol

FML!

all pictures taken with my trusty Olympus E520D…

which I have yet learn how to use…FML!

On a random note:

this semester I'm taking ecology which I love because I love animals, environmental science which I love because I love being green wtf, microeconomics which I love  because it’s kinda interesting, physical education which I love because it’s damn useful and music which I used to love because it’s damn easy but now hate because it’s damn boring…

it’s graded primarily on attendance and I’ve missed four classes already!!!!!

all you have to do is enter the class and enjoy the chamber music that is being performed…

and once, I arrived late and the doorman (or whatever la) said that he can’t allow me in…

PENAT je aku semangat nak dengar classical music yang boring gila babeng tu…issshhh…

and I THOUGHT that music was gonna be the best class ever…

The first few days in Wisconsin have been GREAT!

The people here are friendly, helpful, and all around nice.

- On the day that I was flying off, the sky seemed SO BLUE and beautiful in Malaysia…

- For breaking fast, I ate Arabic food from Al-Rawsha…although the dinner was great, the thing is, I wanted to eat something from the night market sooo bad…

- 4 of my closest friends came to send me off…I think I’m the only one who brought non-Intec friends!

- The food and the entertainment in Malaysia airlines were GREAT! I watched The Ghost of Girlfriend’s past, My Life in Ruins, Star Trek, Obsessed, Just For Laughs, Running in Heels, and How I Met Your Mother

- Upon arriving in Stockholm, I realized that I lost my camera bag, along with 500 dollars of cash!

- Found it about an hour later…

- Arrived in Newark, and I was detained by the immigration for about an hour and a half…

- I panicked because I was afraid that I would miss my flight…

- I didn’t!

- In the Continental Express flight to Wisconsin, I realized that I lost my lens cover…I was afraid that it would cost me a bomb…because dslr accessories are DAMN expensive! But I bought it at Best Buy for like 7 dollars only…thank god!

- Reached Madison and I stayed at a senior’s house…here, I found out that the people at the immigration broke the zipper and the lock of my luggage! That was expensive fml! They didn’t tell me about it face to face…they just gave me a letter…they said that they were not gonna pay for the damage fml…to add salt to wound, my shower gel was all over my clothes fml!

- Again, the people here are really friendly and helpful!

- Malaysia sometimes tries to promote itself as a country with friendly and helpful people, when they are really NOT!

- Went shopping a couple of times at Walmart, Best Buy, Kohl’s and JCPenney…

- Things here are EXPENSIVE if you convert the price to Malaysian ringgit!!! But, if you’re making money in USD, then things here considerably cheap!

- Today, I’m gonna go on a tour of Madison, and I think classes start next week!

- Sorry Cedric, but there’s shisha here…

- Beatrice, I think I will definitely fit in well with the people here cause as I’ve said, they are friendly…

- Oh and most of the time, I eat Malaysian food…Nasi briyani, gulai sambal udang, nasi ayam, and etc…the last “American” food I ate was a cookie…lol

- When I went to Best Buy for the second time to buy a flat screen, I lost my bag…this time, IHAD MY DSLR IN IT!!!

- Thank god the people in the store eventually gave it to me! I’m sooo careless! Now, I’m scared to bring out my dslr wtf! (third incident involving my dslr wtf!)

- And there’s a piece of string stuck in the viewfinder of my dslr wtf!

- The internet connection in my laptop is not stable…this is after I deleted everything when I was coming here…haiz…

3. Spend QUALITY time with my little brother sister, grandparents, aunts, uncle, and cousins…

4. Treat my friends to something nice…

5. Visit places that I’ve always wanted to visit with my friends…

Things to do while in America…

2. See Britney Spears at least twice! (marry her if possible)

3. Go to a Madonna, Michael Jackson, Justin Timberlake, and Beyonce concert…not such a big fan of all of them, but they’re GREAT PERFORMERS!!!

10. Work-study program…study abroad program…I LOVE American universities…

11. Study…duh…

12. Plant tulips…wtf!!! ok, sooo not my plan…(aziz’s plan)

I wanna plant an apple tree…because as a kid, I’ve always wanted to have my own apple tree…and I’ve never seen one (back then), so an apple tree is kinda other-worldly for me…

and I watched this movie where the character (a small boy around my age at that time) planted an apple tree which has a profound sentimental value to him…forgot what the movie was…this is from the period when I could barely understand whatever people were saying in movies…

13. Go to a movie premier maybe???

Post before fly!

Again, this post is written months ago but updated recently!

I read in Shahril’s blog about how he wanted to eat durian because he said “kalau tak, bila lagi???” or something like that…

these kinds of things just makes me SO sad!!! I’m not depressed or anything, but there’s this feeling of missing things even though I’ve not been away yet…

But, as you all know, I’ve been away from my REAL home for a while now…I think it has been more than three months since I last went back home…I miss my siblings…and I hate the fact that they miss me too and would make all these excuses just so that we have an excuse to hangout…I miss my grandparents…and I hate the fact that they had to plan dinners just so that I would drop by their house…I hate it because I don’t want them to miss me…I want to be available to them whenever they wanted me to be, wherever they wanted me to be…

I hate the fact that during the period where I’m flying off, EVERYBODY are away too…dahlah I have a very small family…(I have only two aunt, an uncle and two cousins)…

AND OHHH MAIII GODDD!!! THE MOST WADDD DEEE FARRRKKK THING IS: I might be going BEFORE the fasting month!!! I WANNA SPEND THE INITIAL PART OF FASTING MONTH WITH MY FAMILY!!! WE HAVE ALWAYS DONE THAT BEFORE!!!haiz…

I hate the fact that Malaysian food is sooo fucking delosh!!!

I love pasar malams...they’re the BEST!!!

I’ll make sure I have tasted everything before I leave!!! WAJIB gain weight!!!

And I hate the fact that no matter how annoying my parents can be, I always, always like all the family gatherings…especially the holidays…I hate it! Because I know I’m gonna miss it!

I hate it that my friends are all SOOO great!!! It’s sooo hard to find gems out of mountains of coal, and to me they’re like diamonds…(wtf cliché statement!) In all seriousness, I’m REALLY saying this from the heart, I love them to death!!! I hate it because people CHANGE and who knows how their personality are gonna be, 2-3 years from now…are we gonna be able to have smooth conversations as what we have always had???Are we gonna be as adventurous as we are now??? I really hope that they will never forget this annoying bitch… and if possible I wanna sincerely apologize to all of them for ALL my wrongdoings, if there were any…And I haven’t even talked about the people that I’ve met at INTEC yet…

HONESTLY EXCITED TO START A NEW LIFE!!! But, I wanna bring all my friends with ME!!!

I’m gonna start compiling pictures of things I’m gonna miss in Malaysia…(food, places, friends)…can’t wait!!!
