Wow... Four years of absence is a loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooongggg time. A lot has happened. Especially with my being in UiTM. Again. Also in addition I bought me a SLR camera. A FM2 Nikon. These babies are hard to come by nowadays. The downside of it all is that its sooooo hard to find a shop that actually processes film these days.

Obviously you can tell that photo shops actually hire less than educated staffs when they say, "Digital camera images are better than films!". See, people who really know photography will say otherwise. Because optical zoom is always better than digital zoom. Even with 15 mega-pixels, the good ol' film roll is always better.

By the way. All the pics here are taken with my FM2. A MANUAL camera. No, not digital.

Huhuhu... I promised myself I'd cook Char-Kuey-Tiow this week and I delivered! Its wonderful to know that Dustbunny would like to eat this today. Well sayang, nanti you balik nanti I'll cook this dish especially for you okay? Muahs!! sayang dia..

Okay!! Recipe time!!

There!! Hehee.. have fun cooking people! And believe me, cooking is more fun when you're cooking for a loved one..

My first attempt to make haggis. SUCCESS!! Aww man.. it tastes so good! After an hour or so of slaving over the kitchen I finally sat down and enjoyed my first haggis!! The anticipation rises when I cut the haggis and see the meat slowly break. Hehehe.. so this is going to be a once in 2 months thing for me lah. With every attempt, I hope it tastes even better!

Sayangg... nanti kite masak eh? K-man pon cakap sedap. He had TWO helpings of haggis! Yummy!

last week; saturday 12-12-2004 taupik & wani kawen gak akhirnye.. after being together for a mere 1 year they finally got hitched. elok la tu.. heheh..

can't remember a wedding being so enjoyable. so much fun and all. got kareoke laa!! got DJ sumore!! huhuhu... so mmg ada la ppl go up to sing and make fools out of themselves. huahuahua. me? i was happy going around being in charge of the water distribution for the whole day. well.. i did sweat. think i lost 2kg alone that day. but i think i gained 1kg cuz we hada tea party afterwards and we kept eating fried chicken for the hole evening.

my step-granny was there too. there was this one time she tried to tell us the story of how she got married to my late grandad.. my aunt cepat2 potong. hehehe.. takkan nak ajar bebudak camna nak rembat suami org kot rite? kekeke..

well.. it goes without saying i had a grand day. okeh!! sapa lagi nak kawen lepas nih?!

guhhh..

started studying. AGAIN. this time ntah camna le aku leh tercampak kat puncak perdana nih? going back to school. all the kids. hold on. let me emphasize.. "KIDS". in my class are generally 18 year-olds. too loud for my own taste. but since i'm stuck with them for the next three years i'd better just suck it in and bear the pain. sigh... yeah. feel the love.

ended up in an apartment with two other housemates. imagine, an apartment meant to house eight student is now accomodating only three. can u say "His-dad-has-influence"? . all and all besides the lack of activity here for me to sink my teeth into its okay. ppl are friendly. the floor is great and the ventilation could be better. its okay.

dustbunny's finals are here. she's been studying for quite sometime now. i know she can do this. i know you can dear. just give it ur best and don't give up okay? just sit there and do ur best. i'll be happy with that. all of my best wishes are with u dear.

ALL THE BEST!!

dropped by the gaki's hse today, and much to my surprise she had her hair straightened. i can't believe she sat in a spot for 4hrs without astro or keyboard. seems almost impossible.
i remember the 1st time my mom saw her with straight hair... she called her "Beckham"! hahaha.. had fun with that until her hair went back to normal.

i called my cuddly dustbunny this afternoon. her groggy i-just-got-up-and-i've-been-expecting-you-to-call-me voice never sounded better. Geram gile. i could just nibble away at the table. the only thing that held me back was seba posa. huhuhu.. kalo tak abih le meja mak aku.

since the start of ramadhan the guys and i have been going for terawih at different suraus @ masjid within the radius of our hses. paling jauh pi was UIA. UIA was fun. the thing abt bln posa i don't like is.. my weight shoots up!! from 68kg it went up to 74kg! bloody hell..
oh well, looks like i have to start jogging la nanti

ugh.. things can get pretty boring when ur not roaming around N9. sheesh. busan gile. in a couple of months gonna start with UitM. wish that'd come quick. the faster i start the sooner i get out of this boring and depressive state of 'nothing-to-do-ness'.

Ah yes before i forget. i had some more N9 pics stashed away and just found it the other day. believe me these pics are great.

i miss my dustbunny. called her today and woke her up for subuh. never have i heard a more enticing voice as her's. dammit. i was biting the phone cord and cursing my luck. dammit i'd give anything to be by her bedside right there and then.

oh well.. back to me. ah.. my 1st dinner at home for the longest time ever. dad is cooking. and whn he does, be sure to guarantee that there will be no rice on the table. sure enough he cooked 3 frankfurters, mixed a bowl of salad and prepared honey dew melons for desert. oh.. u'd like that won't u dustbunny? lemme tell u something.. after a while this'll drive u nuts. just my luck to have health conscious parents.

Yes!! N9 is water under the bridge! after two campaigns i think thats it. anyway UiTM is calling. maybe i stick to work at the CC. yeah.. me thinks so... hehehe.. GOT MY HEAD SHAVED BALD TODAY!! YAY!! MAKA TERBAYAQ LAH NAZAKU KEPADA TUHANKUU... alhamduliah!!

its so hard to find a Malay barber to open at 1000!! 1st barber i went to was closed. after 3 hills, 2 roundabouts and 2 chickens later i found an indian barber. what the hey i guess. just popped in there and got my head shaved! kewl..

ugh.. Palong 2day!! the last Felda settlement on the list. its all the way beyond bahau. just off rompin barely into gemas. big area to cover. teachers teruk.. lambat all xcept smk seri pertatih. nuff said.
