Me in Perantauan

Sunday, October 22nd, 2006

Tomorrow is the hari raya day but here i am, hundreds miles away from home, thinking how my loved ones are going to celebrate the big day. *sigh*

well i do wish that they’re going to miss me terribly. Hahaha~ I called my house last nite n my younger brother picked up the phone. So i asked him, "how’s the raya going to be eh?" n then he smugly replied "Oh. Dis is the best hari raya i am ever going to have. can’t believe it will be going on for the next four years ahahaha (ketawa keji). I’m lucky". Lucky eh? well, im damn sure that ur going to be bored as hell on the first day of hari raya. Ade hati nak raya tanpa aku. chiss…

anyway, yeah i miss home. yet, i do hope that my first hari raya here will be one of the best memories ever. i mean, the beautilful view of the fall season is something that i have never experienced before. so i guess im wishing for nothing except a nice, sweet hari raya day. n of course, thank God i have no exam tomorrow. Kalo ade, hell nyer….

so it’s obvious la kan if a blog mentions hari raya, then there must be an unofficial raya speech to be made. So, i wanna wish slamat ari raya la kat korang, whoever is reading my blog nih. maap zahir batin eh. (eh, why is this speech so short??).

n oh yes one friendly reminder —> Whoever touches my kuih raya should be shot….      

aih reputasi, reputasi….

Wut I’ve learned from the microwave incident is dat when u do something wrong, juz be honest with urself n the people around u that u r the one who made the mistake becoz first, u can avoid other commotion cam ur floormates x pueh ati ko x ngaku ksalahan ko. N then secondly, it will make u less embarrassing. Ye la. Dak2 floor aku sumernye dah tau i was the one who caused the bad smell at the hallway… hahaha. Konon2 je la nak keep the secret from everyone for the sake of my own reputation. Skali awal2 lagi da kantoi da hahaha. After this i’ll be known as the gurl who doesn’t know how to use the microwave. Yesss! Mari kiter bersama2 menghancurkan reputasi dak2 M’sia!! Anyway, to hell la with reputation…. lalalalalala~

p/s two things i despise the most 1) needles 2) n now microwaves. wakakaka~

wey egy, bilik aku pon hampir trbakar daa….

Sunday, October 15th, 2006

it was like any other nite; cold and breezy. since i was hungry like hell, i decided to treat myself with a delicious fillet-o-fish burger. but i had to heat it first. so i put it in the microwave n set the time. sementara tu aku wat la kje laen dulu; aku kemaskan my bed, put my books at the right place, n bla bla bla. minah at the time was talking to her mom on the phone. n then tibe2 jerk, minah let out a gasp "weyh, da brasap tuh!!!". aku pon ngan machonya mnoleh ke blakang. Ya Allah!!! n then i looked up "shit! the fire alarm!!!!!". (malu la wei kalo sumer org tau bilik ko trbakar). lame gaks la fire alarm tu brbunyi. but the most syal thing is kan, xde sorang pon jiran kitorg yg kuar bilik n check out what happened (a good thing actually. terjaga reputasi kitorang). dah la pas2, xde fireman pon yg datang. Wut the hell???? clake sungguh firemen2 nih. makan gaji bute ke hah?! (ye la. bukan diorg spatutnye datang ke kalo fire alarm tu dah brbunyi cam nak rak? kan? KAN??)

being my glabah-self, aku pon lari tron ke front desk kat tingkat satu. tudung hurm, toksah ckp la. ntah mane ntah aku campak. aku pon inform the girl there about my situation; the fire alarm in my room went on, the microwave, n then bla bla bla. pas2 die ckp "What? OK. We’ll call somebody" pas2 aku pon ran upstairs. huhu. bilik da penuh ngan asap. pas2 kitorag bukak tgkap n pasang fan, to clear the ‘atmosphere’ in the room. nasib baek the fire alarm finally went off…

in the end, everything was fine, except my burger la. hangus nak mati. aku da kecewa gler, so i decided to write this post. aih clake tol. aper aku nak makan sahur nih? the food dah hangus already. makan tilam je laaa……..  darn u microwave! although it was clearly my fault, aku x kire. aku nak salahkan microwave jugakk!!! pergh!!!!!

p/s i think i hear some siren outside. OMG. is that the fire brigade??? weh clake. mane aku nak sorok muke nih… anyway, i think once they open the door, i’ll just going to say owh, everything is fine. u can go home now. hahah. padan muke. lembabb~   

To minah, sorry for dragging u into the trouble eh. sabau2…

And Yet…. Another Shot

Monday, October 9th, 2006

I was damn worried about the meningitis shot. Bukannye ape la. All my friends had taken the vaccination and the only person left is, well, me. I DID consider taking it, but since there was a lot of other stuff that I need to consider too, it took me about weeks before deciding to take the shot.

First, the vaccination costs about $30, which is a lot of money if you ask me. I thought, damn I can but three McD meals with that same amount of money. Second, it’s gonna hurt. Third, needles make me depressed…. (I hate needles). I was pretty sure that this meningitis disease was nothing until I stumbled across an article about a uiuc student infected with meningitis one year ago. I was definitely shocked that she had both her legs and arms amputated because of the disease!! I mean, gosh. I would die if one of my fingers got chopped off, let alone my arms and legs and other body parts!

I was in shock for the rest of the day, and worried of course thinking that I haven’t done the vaccination. So, under my own initiative, I decide to walk to McKinley Health Center and demanded the vaccination. But I was still scared of needles…. I was thinking too much of the pain that it will cause me that I could care less about what was happening around me. And then there was some woman calling “Rihanna” (alah, org yg nyanyi lagu SOS tuh. Haha) and she led me into a room where there were two other doctors giving injections to some students. The woman asked “You’re Rihanna?”. And I was only like, “Ehm…”. She then introduced herself; her name is Cindy bla bla bla (I had already taken my seat) and then asked me to show my arm and then bla bla bla. And then, she lifted up one tiny needle. I tried to play it cool, but God Knows how scared like hell I was. So I turned my face away from the fearsome needle and started to read Alam Nasyrah and mane2 surah yg ader dlm kpala otak aku waktu tu (yee. Al-Fatihah pon aku bace). “Did you say something?” I heard the doctor asked. I was like, blur gler kan. “Prayers….” I replied. I swear to God the doctor was trying to hide her somehow amused expression. Well, she did give a little laugh though… “Don’t you worry. Nobody ever dies under my attention” she said while smiling. Ye la tu…. How would you know if I would be the first one? Hah? HAH?! And then aku pon kene inject la. Alhamdulillah nothing bad happened. Truth to be said, x sakit pon injection tersebut. Bukan nak belagak ah, tapi series, xde la sakit mane pon… Yet, that doesn’t mean I’m looking forward for another injection. I still despise all the needles that ever existed in the world.

By the way, I’m skipping one class nih. That’s why I have the time to write this crappy piece of my life experience. Xnak bagitau la kelas aper kan… All I know is I am damn terok dalam klas tuh. And who knows? Maybe some of you will inform the professor about me skipping the class? Haha. Looks like I’m being my usual paranoid self again. Aih. Aper2 la…..

I have just received my meningitis shot and it was like YEAHHH!!!
