yesterday kristine, khalisah and me went to century square.
we watched mr bean. i watched it again.
they actually wanted me to watch haunted school but i seriously didn't want to.
i said that if they forced me i would call them every night and disturb them...
it worked! haha...i'm too chicken to watch cause it'll make me feel very scared.
so i wasted my money and watched mr bean going on holiday again. to france.
same place... then after that we took neoprints and khaili and kris paid them! hahahaha. then after that we went home. and when we were going kristine hugged me so tight! i really felt like crying actually. but i didn't. cause we're so close. i remember the picture i took with her in primary 5.
ooh! i was a very very naughty girl then...muahahahahahahaha!!! i'm going to miss her so much! TWOWENTZHILL 4 EVA!!!!!!
Went to Malaysia over the weekend for Abg Erin's wedding...it was alright I suppose...just too warm and there were sooo many people. His wife is really sweet...but I don't remember her name. Oh there were plenty of Singaporeans at the wedding of course...*rolls 8)*...Nurul was there and she looked really annoying. Very Minah feeling...Thankfully Aunty Mandy and Uncle Fendi were there...cause most of the other S'poreans were like from Uncle Salleh's side...(Cik Mail, Madi etc...remember Wardah and stuff Nene?..oh Tok Ngah and his kids were there too i think) But who cares....I was just glad I got to shop a bit...although I only managed to get 4 pairs of shoes...hehe and we managed to avoid the relatives on Saturday night cause Ba wasn't feeling well...so he stayed at the hotel and ordered room service and Ma and me went out for a nice dinner and we went shopping without Ba around...which is obviously more fun..hm...hope he doesn't read this :D
The wedding location, Selayang..soooo ulu.
Dinie (Abg Muszaffar's daughter.)
Mukri (Ira's 1st son..hehe cute eh? Her second son's name is Mirza..yes she's got two kids..*gasp*)
(Me, Ma and Ba with Abang Muszairin and the bride.)
Damn I just realised that I keep blogging about attending weddings..ugh...its becoming like a weekly pasttime...blehhhh!
Anyway i've also uploaded the rest of the pictures to an online album cause im so lazy...just click on the link below.

I've been really good these past few days. Well actually just yesterday cause I've actually been out working in the garden! Just like my arwah yayi who ngotemed a lot! That's very rare for me because I'm so lazy to go outside and I figure why bother cleaning up the outside of my house when I can hardly be bothered to clean up the inside. Well nevermind all that because I actually did it! And I have proof too!
Well first I took a 'before' picture of the tree, whose branches I was going to trim. Since we moved here we've hardly cut the branches of the tree so it looks really scraggly and unkempt. Ours is the only garden that looks like that by the way cause everyone else has picture perfect gardens. Oh well...
I went to work on the tree with a step ladder and a pair of shears. It was actually pretty easy except that I couldn't reach the top-most branches. I think I did a damn good job though except that I was embarrassed everytime a neighbour walked past!
Here's the after picture:
And here are all the branches I cut!
Besides the tree I've also planted some seeds! I don't know if it's too early or whatever but who cares. If they grow, they grow. If they don't I can plant some more. I've planted different kinds of herbs, tomatoes, chili, some kinda salad and cucumber I think cause Ma bought me the seeds when she was here. I'm thinking of getting some flowers too maybe.
Ohh Anna-Karin has gone home now. She went back on Sunday. When she was here I made some cream puffs.
And yesterday I made this chicken pot pie which was actually pretty good except that the crust was probably a bit too thick. But I didn't mind cause I love pie crust. I had some leftoever filling and a little bit of puff pastry so I made 2 mini ones today.
Well that's all from me for now. Write more later! Love you girls!!
Neneeeeee its been so long since i actually talked to you properly..miss you tau! Ah well....its another bleh Monday evening...i'm not gonna make this such a long post cause I wanna watch 'The Object Of My Affection' on Star Movies...I really love that movie....:D Anyway my weekend was okay...nothing too interesting...went out on Saturday night to St. James Powerstation...well initially we were at Dragonfly....then someplace called Tiger live or Tiger Den...i have no idea...it was called Tiger something...anyway....I didn't really like the music...but it was nice that the clubs were all connected...and that Bernie had some kinda member card...so we didn't have to queue :D I hate queuing up. I can't imagine why people would queue to go to such a crap place....heh...the queues were still soooo long even when we left at around 4am-ish...insane! oh yeah...the place closed at 6am apparently...amazing eh? hehe remember those times when clubs closed at 2..or was it 3? bleh! Anyway....yeah I asked Nina (aka Slemor..haha :p) along since she was in town visiting...
Bernie & Me
Sorry the pics are kinda dark and blurry...cause they were all taken using my phone..anyway that's her on the left..can you still recognise her? :) Hehe the last picture I remember we had taken together was like a century ago...at Nek Nah's kampung..remember they made the 3 of us sit on that mangosteen tree? haha..and you were crying I think....cengeng! :p
Girlfriends!
Anyway then on Sunday Ma dragged me to some wedding in Jurong?!...Nina was there too...she was there with Cik Ti and Che Yang...oh yeah..she's here too...Slemor came here with her..do you still remember her Nene? Anyway the wedding was annoying....too many mats...it felt like some kinda mat and minah convention....all these bikes everywhere...ugh. Then in the evening Ba took the M'sians out for dinner...we went to East Coast with all the relatives...yup...that's about it...borrrringgg.
Hope you're having a better time....regards to Anna-Karin! :)

hello! i just came back from the show yesterday night and i thought it was quite wonderful! really nice. i like the part where marlin and dory went into the whale thing. so cool. anyway here are some pictures. i finally got the ice thing. i got it in a nemo. mama wanted me to get squirt(turtle) and kak arlin wanted bruce(shark). but i got nemo. and i also got a hat! i got it free when we bought the cotton candy. that huge bag of cotton candy is really delicious. still not finished yet. and its really very soft. i was still a bit sick. and it was the same night when i went for bowling in the afternoon. i went for the only bowling thing in the afternoon and i felt like fainting when we were doing the drills. i got all dizzy.
mama and me and i'm wearing the nemo hat.
mama looks like she's feeding the shark.
kak arlin and me.
squirt and his other turtle dudes.
the whale i was talking about that swallowed marlin and dory.
all the fishies after nemo re-united with his daddy.
me and kak arlin and she's wearing the nemo hat.
i look so ugly by the way...so fat. and round. eww...
well anyway thanks kak arlin for bringing me to this show! so fun and exciting and thank you mama for the cotton candy and the popcorn and the ice thing! thank you soooo much. i've been wanting that since little mermaid. thank you thank you. i love you both! bye dude! like whoa...by crush the cool turtle. fish are friends...not food!
Did anyone realise we've done 99 posts? so I started the first one...and now i'm officially writing the 100th one...okay its not exactly very interesting...but I thought I should just mention it anyway. :D
Anyway....it feels weird writing again..sorry Nene that we haven't written in ages....yeah Ar and I were both really sick last week....we've both been on medication and even had to take blood tests and stuff...hehe thankfully we weren't hospitalised or anything like that..*choy*....and this week i'm finally feeling better....but I haven't really been doing anything much...except work that is...bleh.
Apart from that...oh yeah...I went to my friend, Nisha's wedding last weekend....I just attended the solemnisation ceremony for awhile and then I left...didn't stay around for the dinner cause I didn't feel like it....besides I was alone and still quite sick then....I saw Matt though...(my Dutch teacher)..and Dais....his wife...and I talked to them for a bit....there were a lot of matsalehs at the wedding...that was honestly a bit depressing...so thankfully I didn't stay around too long. I'll include a few pics....I thought Nisha looked really sweet...i can't imagine she's actually married now...

Richard & Nisha
Alrighty....that's all for now....TGIF tomorrow! :))
yay! we're going tonemo on disney on ice! i'm so excited. cause i want to get the ice thing.there will also be the turtle crush and squirt! yay!
i really can't wait because i think it will be very very very nice. and the best part is that i'm going with kak arlin and MA! then there will be fish people that look like this!
they look so cute. i'm just really excited to see them. and i also want to buy that ice thinggy. cause its very nice. you get ice in a cup that looks like nemo. i wanted the little mermaid one when there was the little mermaid on disney on ice or when they had the princess thing but i couldn't. the last disney on ice i went to was either beauty and the beast or the princess one. i'm not sure. i forgot. well anyway, i'm just very excited cause we're going tomorrow night! yay! that's my holiday treat. its the only fun thing that is going to happen because i've been sick for the whole past week. and i'm sick even for the holidays. it has been very boring for me. and i cancelled the thing with mei yee and gen on saturday. cause mama looked quite disappointed when i asked her if i could go. so i'm not going. anyway, its only to take neoprints and i think mei yee wants to buy someone that crumpler bag. well i don't really care. i don't think it would be that fun anyway. going to nemo would be better. yay! can't wait.
Another boring post Yep here's another boring one by me. So I still miss you girls like crazy. I've been spending time with Anna-Karin and working and that's basically it. Oh the weather here has been totally wonderful. Really warm and sunny and lovely. I've even gone out with my jacket unzipped and it's been months since we've been able to do that. It still gets to like 0 degrees at night though so it's not really that warm yet. And they've been saying on the weather forecasts that it'll get cold again soon so I guess I have to enjoy all this sunshine while it lasts. So I think I'm gonna start planting things anyway. It can be pretty fun and I do have lots of garden space. I'm mostly interested in planting stuff I can use in cooking, like herbs and spices and vegetables. But maybe I should get some flowers too. Cause they're always pretty to look at. So we'll see. Ohh I went for a job interview 2 days ago. It's for a part-time job as a swimming teacher! I thought it'd be really simple basic stuff so that's why I applied for it but now I'm not sure anymore. It was really ages ago since I last went swimming and I don't know a few basic swimming stuff like the butterfly stroke and diving from a platform and hmm what else? Ohh that turn you do at the end of one lap to the next. See I don't even know what it's called. And I'm not sure I want the job cause I definitely don't want to go around in my swimming costume. And they have communal showers here and everyone showers NAKED. Like all my biggest hang-ups combined. Urgh! But we'll see how it goes. Hmm what else? I've been invited to different international events going on at the schools I'm teaching at. That might be pretty fun. One of the school's gonna have a book picnic. And they want me to read like a fairy tale or something in Malay. Now where am I gonna get a Malay story book here in Sweden? Okay I'm gonna stop here. Still no pics. Will probably upload them next time I write. Love you girls. Miss you very much. Lovies, nene
No wonder no one has been blogging these past few days. Both Ars are sick. And I've just been nagging and whining about no one blogging. Sorry girls. It's just that I miss you loads. Haven't spoken to you girls in ages. I hope you feel much much better soon and that we'll get to speak again soon too.
In the meantime, I'll try to write interesting stuff so you'll have something to read till you girls feel better. Hmm I have some pics I can upload but the camera's batteries are flat again so I'll have to charge em first.
So what's newe here? We've been getting some really lovely weather. Spring is definitely on the way. And Anna-Karin is here on a visit. Maybe I'll take some pics of her too and put them up here. Well I have to go to work soon, so I'll write more later.
Okay we've done the Malay song, the Chinese song, the English songs, now in the spirit of globalisation, we're going to listen to and learn this French one. And by none other than Anggun. Ahh what a beautiful song...
Video's below.
"J'avoue, j'en ai bavé. Pas vous, Mon amour? Avant d'avoir eu vent de vous, Mon amour Ne vous déplaise En dansant la javanaise Nous nous aimions Le temps d'une chanson A votre avis qu'avons nous vu De l'amour De vous à moi, vous m'avez eu, Mon amour Ne vous déplaise En dansant la javanaise Nous nous aimions Le temps d'une chanson Hélas, avril en vain me voue A l'amour J'avais envie de voir en vous Cet amour Ne vous déplaise En dansant la javanaise Nous nous aimions Le temps d'une chanson La vie ne vaut d'être vécue Sans amour Mais c'est vous qui l'avez voulu, Mon amour Ne vous déplaise En dansant la javanaise Nous nous aimions Le temps d'une chanson "
Or, less fancily, Chocolate Hazelnut Cake. I finally found 'How To Be A Domestic Goddess' by Nigella Lawson. Its basically this book that I've been looking for all these months...and today I tried out one of the recipes. I just had to pick a chocolate one of course. :)
I was initially a little worried that the cake would not turn out cause there wasn't any flour or sugar required...hehe the recipe did however call for obscene amounts of chocolate. Ohh..apart from the usual melted chocolate...a whole huge jar of Nutella actually went into the batter too! Anyway...the cake actually did rise and I'm pretty excited. Can't wait to cut the cake. Enjoy the pics :)
Cheryl invited me to join her and some other people at Velvet the other night...and I didn't feel like going but I went anyway cause i've been feeling really bleh the whole week...figured going out would do me good. Well i'm glad I went...it was tons fun...we ended up spending quite some time in Phuture as well...oh and Michelle was there too...she's finally back home for good now. I can't believe I haven't seen her in almost 8 years or so. Hehe ohh and one of the bouncers had such pretty shoes...I actually asked him if I could take a picture of it! He must've thought I was insane. Too bad it wasn't such a clear pic...but i'll upload it anyway. :D
Arlin, I don't think Arnee's all that upset anymore. Well still a tad disappointed about missing her first big concert of course but I don't think she's all that pissed off that she doesn't want to write in this blog. But then again I don't know how she is at home everyday cause I'm not there. But the last time I spoke to her she told me her friend, some tomboy girl decided to not go to the FOB concert either cause Arnee can't go. And that's a really nice thing to do.
And hey Arnee did blog! Whee! You always so busy ah girl. You have much more of a life than I do! Parties, concerts, cheerleading. It's a wonder you still have time for school and studying and tests. Speaking of which, how'd your common tests go? Susah tak? Hope you get really good results. Insyallah.
Well I haven't written anything cause I'd been blogging a whole lot when both of you couldn't be bothered to. :-p And nothing's happened to me anyway. Nothing to write about. Well I was sick and I still have the most annoying sorethroat. And hmm what else? Oh I was listening a lot to Barenaked Ladies on Youtube yesterday. Really good songs! "It's been one week since you looked at me, cocked your head to the side and said I'm sorry" and Sugar Ray and Everclear. Ahh the last time I listened to music like that was when I was 18. Damn. Almost 10 years ago. ALMOST, not quite.
Oh and I showered Aslan a few days ago so he smells pretty good now although he's starting to get all scruffy again. And I've been combing him everyday. But yesterday he got really pissed off at me cause I was combing the tangles in his tail real hard and he scratched me! I screamed like a maniac and scolded him. It hurt like hell! And then I kept letting him smell the cuts he left on my right hand. Well they were really small, no blood or anything, but still! He must have felt really bad about that cause when I finally calmed down he jumped in my lap and kept cuddling up to me for a really long time. Stupid cat!
Oh I have been cooking and baking quite a bit as usual. I made pesto on Monday, I think. It was a bit weird. Too garlicky I think and I don't know. Just plain weird. So the next day I kinda modified the recipe and added walnuts and more parmesan and fried it with the pasta and it didn't taste so strong and was actually pretty good. On Wednesday, Jonas made Swedish pancakes with strawberry jam and whipped cream. Really yummy and I forgot to take a pic of that too! But he's making more this weekend so I'll add pics then. And yesterday I made pizza and eclairs.
Oh this I made the day before yesterday. It's White Hot Chocolate. Really really yummy. I got the recipe from joyofbaking.com and made some small changes. It's just white chocolate, vanilla extract, sugar and milk. I blended the dry ingredients first and then boiled the milk and added everything in the blender. Topped it with whipped cream and a dusting of cocoa powder. Delicious.
And this was what we had for dinner yesterday. I've gotten sick of the pizza we have at my restaurant so I decided to make my own. The inspiration was Pizza Hut's pan pizza but I made the crust wrong and too thin instead. But it turned out really good.
We had some salad too. I bought some salad mix and took a pic cause I thought all the different vegetables looked really pretty together.
And here's Renee's Special.
Now all this talk about food's making me damn hungry again. Tonight I'll take pics of the eclairs and upload them. Gonna go grab something to eat now.
So your old and yes...'orbit' sister actually wants to understand why you were so upset over the whole concert...that we're not allowing you to go...and why you were so angry...that you absolutely refused to blog... and how you got cranky with all of us....so I spent almost an entire evening watching MTV...and I had better things to do mind you. :p It was almost painful...cause I haven't actually sat down and watched MTV in years....
But anyway, after my head nearly exploded... and yup I got the biggest migraine ever too....finally the infamous 'Fall Out Boy' video came on...(what is with the name anyway? oh someone please do enlighten me)..and honestly...aren't they exactly like Good Charlotte? or one of those bands? My Chemical Romance? I really couldn't tell the difference!...even the eye make up was similar! (why do boys need eyeliner??) So why the fuss with this particular band all of a sudden? Anyway it was probley a new video..the one that I saw...I don't really recall the title...it was a mouthful....and right now...as I'm sitting here and typing this...I'm actually on youtube...listening to 'A little less sixteen candles'....aah...at least this one sounds vaguely familiar....I may have heard it before....perhaps on one of those days that I actually remember 98.7 still exists :p Now at least this one's a tad catchy....it could almost pass off as an easy listening hit....but the video doesn't make any sense...it doesn't seem to have any connection with the song whatsoever....why vampires? and why do they keep beating each other up? is that the emo look by the way? is this song considered emo? but it doesn't sound like it if it actually falls into that genre...i'd say...but then again what do I know about all this emo stuff...
Anyway...before you completely stop writing and severing all ties with me...perhaps the whole point of this post....(if there is any point at all)...is that it may seem like the biggest thing in your life right now...missing out on this one concert...especially because your other friends are going..but well...there will always be other bands...(other ripoffs too :D)....but hey!...I honestly thought they were Good Charlotte!...are those people still cool by the way? :p so yeah....don't lose sleep over this....k lil sis? :)
Lovies,
Kak Arlin
PS: We'll make sure you get one of those emo looking specs..better than a concert! now you can start looking like one of the band guys!! ;)
PPS: Now its Nene's turn to do the disappearing act....hm...where have you been eh?
sorry for not blogging in a long long time. too upset about fob's concert. still am but i tried to forget about it. so i'm listening to them everday. and i'm also VERY busy with cheerleading stuff...I GOT IN!!!! yay...so happy. the other cheerleaders are diana, dirah, khai, mummy, ain, small girl, sot woman, auntie mipsy, me and vk. whee...we actually had dorea and chloe. but we're replacing them with khairunnisa(khai) and jamie(aunt mipsy). haha i made the nicknames up for them...they're probably call me ernie or barney or something like that.at first we thought of doing 'bout it' from 3lw cause we already did 'get up' from ciara for auditions but they still want ciara. so then we're doing the same song.but its okay. so then we tried the pyramids and all of them fell and we laughed and laughed then suddenly dianty was like wait! she looked out the window and she pushed us to the side and then screamed at some people outside.then she immediately open the door and jumped up and down. so i went out to see who she was waving to. i thought there was no one and that dianty was cuckoo...then i saw fuzzey(fadzlynn), nyimas, siti and hidayah..actually i didn't know who they were cause i couldn't really see them. they were at the other end of the school and my eyesight is very bad...then they came in the malay room and i was like HI!!! and they were like hi! and they went to go see all the teachers and then went back to the malay room and we had to dance for them and fadzlynn was sneakily taking a video of us...argh...haha...then after that we went home and tomorrow i have to go and practise again. ahh!!! must skip bowling. school team even. lalalalalalala....i think i'll write again tomorrow okay bye bye arnee wartini amir
The wedding location, Selayang..soooo ulu.
