21st March 2008... Esplanade here I come..

haiz... provide the guy who escaped got apprehended first...

lousy life for alot of us right now.. but hopefully... it will be over soon...

waiting...

for the healing hands to cure this sleepy me...

I am currently at Mandai Kah Motors workshop. Waiting for the serviceman to change the fog lights for my car. Weird thing is, I rarely use my fog light... yet it blows... he said it'll take abt 1hr for them to change.. weird...

I'm up till the top of my head with stress... I have only one day left to do my assignments. Sad thing is I have to be at work. Somehow this incident make me realise that I can't handle two subjects. I'm not saying that I can't handle studying part-time. I can... I really do... I just can't handle too many subjects. So I've made up my mind. I'm going to take only one subject next semester. It'll take longer for me to get my degree, yes, but at least I know I'll be able to cope.

Oh man... I'm so freaking sleepy....

wedding bells...

Last week.... I had an entry congratulating Kak Imee n Farid on their 10th Anniversary together..

Today.... is actually the day....

I received a sms from Kak Imee a few moments ago...

I CAN'T WAIT FOR THE WEDDING ALREADY!!!! sorry guys.. can't find a more glamour pics of u guys...

...a foodie's choice...

Today... I was bored... instead of doing my school assignment... I went to the kitchen and found a near-empty refrigerator... which is not my liking... Nor's not in Town till tomoro... having cold fun in Hong Kong...

Anyway, I made my way down to the supermarket abt 3 mins drive... hahaha lazy me... and bought stuff to cook for dinner... then I suddenly had the urge to make something nice for pple back home... so I bought some stuff and it shall be Baked Salmon that we'll be eating tonight for dinner...
1. Marinate it with lime juice and thyme and rosemary leaves

2. Wrap it up and leave it in the fridge for abt 20 mins. At the same time, heat the oven.

3. Asparagus, young corn and Ready-Made Hollandaise Sauce. Chopped some garlic and slice the young corns. Mix together with some salt and black pepper.

4. Place it on the tray lined with aluminium foil. Use Olive Oil over the sliced, young corns, Asparagus, chopped garlic and onions.

5. Then cooked it for about 20-25 mins. Make sure you don't over cook the fish or the veggies.

6. Place it nicely on a plate... And pour over the heated Hollandaise Sauce (heat it over slow fire)

And there we go... it pretty simple actually...

birthday

today is izza's 16th birthday...

she's one of the few in the family that was born on the 21st...

izza was born about exactly 9 years 5mths after I was born... in terms of days... not hours...

Happy Birthday cha... hope yours was a good one...

:)

... why the change ...

first and foremost... changeisgood... heheheh muahahahaha....

next... i want to start a fresh..

next... according to feefee.. the other blog was too colourful and cheerful to reflect what is really going thru in my life... this one looks more serious...

next... my sister doesn't read blogs that don't not have pictures... therefore prepare for a blog with less pictures... go to my multiply if u need...

thanks

wants and needs

I have to stop "wanting"...

Only then the "need" will arise...

I need:

1. AirCon in my room...
2. The construction right outside my bloody window to finish quickly...
3. Longer sleeping time...
4. The One.

... doing things i shouldn't ...

I am suppose to be doing part one of my assignment. I've promised Dayanah to finish it by this coming tuesday... But I only started to realise the meaning of "Don't promise promises that you can't meet" hahaahaha

Obviously the reason why I'm even blogging at this hour of the day is because I'm procrastinating. Yeah, since I know I'm procrastinating, you might asked yourself, why did I succumb to it. Well, I'm going through what it is called, student writer's block. *is there such a thing?* I can't seem to come up with anymore ideas for my assignment.

So today, while studying with my study group, I asked myself, why am I doing this? Surprisingly, I do not have an answer. Hahahaha I keep telling myself, there is a future. And this is it.

hmmpp.. Okie.. so before I continued with my work at home, I clean up my computer table. I pushed everything way and remove things that needed to be removed to make space for my books and gadgets. I only need more space for a printer. That I will worry later. I need to save some money this mth to prepare myself for next mth's IT Show. I seriously need a printer. I hope to get a laserjet or something. I need those printers that print really fast. Like the one I have in my office. But I bet the ink/toner will be EXPENSIVE!!

The next thing I need for my room is a proper clean up. The clutter next to my bed need to be removed. Anyone who wants a metal cabinet of drawers, please email me.

I have yet to find the perfect wall deco for my room, but I have an idea of what I want. In addition, I might add a small whiteboard for me to scribble stuff and for others at home to leave messages too. Maybe I'll hang that on my room door.

I'll still keep the room pink.

Irah just called me... And Jajah talked to me on the phone, she says my voice make her horny, so I decided to stop talking and just start messaging... and also decide to stop blogging for the night and go back to doing my assignment...

damn u police pple who have nothing to do...

mobile... literally...

Hehehehe... so I thought I give my mobile broadband a test... my sister's driving and Jumari is entertaining her.. we are well on our way to Newton for some seafood... and here I am sitting at the back blogging!!! muahahahahaha... and we are grooving to some Maroon 5 to get us prepared for 25th March... hint hint...

I think this M1 BB mobile thingy is good for those on the go... and those who is not patient enough for wireless hotspot connection... but it comes with a price... this connection will cost me abt $24 a mth plus minus... but it's okie since I already cancelled my 2nd Starhub Line which cost me abt $38 per mth. Just waiting for the next line contract to expire... then I can terminate that line too... so far the BB connection is fine.. it works perfectly well on expressways... especially SLE, where sometimes your phone connection/signal got cut due to the military stuff going around there... so I recommend this to anyone who has a laptop and travel long distance in public buses or trains.. it's totally worth it... I'm even thinking of using this at home and forget about my home BB connection.. maybe use it to d/l large files and skyping with feefee.. oh yeah talking abt skype... using the mobile BB... will cause some sort of lag with having ur video conferencing making the picture looked very pixelated... anyway I don't think anyone would video conferencing out in the open... pple might think you are crazy... tried that yesterday at school and pple around me tot I was laughing and talking to myself... so sad... at least I got Feefee serenading songs to me... *note: travelling on CTE now... reception not as good..*

This is also good for those whose workplace banned IM... just plug and play ur mobile BB and waaalaaa.... u can IM frens fromyour workstation... hehehe bad bad bad Diah.... hehehehe

You just have to pay some $27 bucks for SIM registration... and the rest is free... you just have to return the modem should you decide to termnate your line... it's 6 mths contract... and.. plug and play for XP and Vista... for those using Mac.. there a CD that comes along in the package for u to install...

so we are reaching newton now... have a good saturday night pple...

diah othman

a walk down memory

i was surfing the net.. when i found this clip... i agree with the owner that this might be one of the most perfect ending of the any x files episode...

i like the scene at 2:03 and..... 3:26 till end...... love it... i miss watching the x files... it's one of the best series ever... 

bored to death... a little

so here i am...

waiting for the time to start living the weekend...

I got a few sms from a colleague who asked me whether she shud buy iPod classic or iPod Touch... I can't really comment on the Touch since I don't have one... but since iPhone MIGHT not be reaching our shores.. iPod touch is a good subtitute.. right?? yeah I'm going to assume that she got the Touch(32GB) at $848... as she have not got back to me about any purchase...

I got sick of the slow hotspot connection... therefore yesterday... I finally made my way down to M1 to sign up for the mobile broadband... so far it works well with "Hedwig" the name I've given to my MacBook. It's temporary... till I find a better name... hahahaha... I feel bad... now that I've got Hedwig... I've been ignoring The Final Horcrux... how to entertain both lah?? I only get to use TFH in the car(attached to Belkin FM transmitter)... and I rarely goes out nowadays... so at home I'll be using iTunes from Hedwig...

I finally got MS Office for Mac and Photoshop from Dayanah... hehehe waiting for $$ to drop from the sky to get iWork'08 and Aperture... pls let it rain cash soon... talking abt that... Budget 2008.. is NOW!! Will they raise Civil Servant pay?? Please do... please Mr Nice Guy up there... of cos it's good that the Goverment is helping us with the raising cost... it's responsibility right?? since we've already voted for them... haiz...

I've been eyeing this bag from crumpler... The Sinking Barge... arghz.. it's $213.. and if i use my CITIBANK credit card... it's less 10%... at about $192.. should I get it?? It can fit Daffyd(Canon 350D) and Hedwig inside.. so you can assume it's big.. but it's not bulky... it's just nice for travelling... and since I have plans to travel to Cambodia(Siem Reap for Anglor Wat and Phnom Penh for the Killing Fields and Tourture Chambers)... this bag is a good buy... hint hint for those who wanna get me presents.. I know my birthday is over but it's coming in 7 mths... hahahahaha

okie... time to go.. bye!

And I boarded the plane

Touched down in the land of the Delta Blues
In the middle of the pouring rain"

Although would have fallen deeper in love had it been a MacBookPro...

I would die should anything bad happen to my Mac...
