My laptop over-heated. I am now sitting next to the window, blogging hoping that the cold morning weather would cool it off faster. Its working. Thank god. I almost had a heart attack this morning when my laptop kept on switching off by itself. Close friends would know that i’ve always had a problem with laptops. The ones i own seem to have shorter life expectancies. In the past 6 years..i have gone through 4 laptops. Almost one for every year.

2000-2001:- Toshiba Sattelite, “My first love”.
My first years at Boarding School. Didn’t get to use this laptop much as we were given in-house school laptops which were provided by ACER , fujitsu and NEC at that time. Don’t know how but I accidentally dropped it one day and had it looked at by the people from NETCOM in KIULAP over my summer holidays. They said the hard drive was damaged. So i sent it in to get it fixed. Towards the end of summer, i went to Netcom to pick it up. I switched the laptop on and there was a straight line going through the middle of the screen. And as if to add insult to injury,it turns out that the hard toshiba casing was cracked from the sides of the laptop all the way through the back. Well done Netcomm, You’ve officially Bruce-leed my laptop. I demanded for a replacement. but they refused. I threatened to SUE they then offerred me an IBUDDY. But thats like replacing gold tooth with air. Belubang gigi. After much persistence they then gave me BD$1000 check. shit. Come to think of it, 1000 mana cukup. SIKIT JUA TU. *^*(#&#.

Didn’t worry much cause i still had my boarding school laptop. With a heavy heart, i left my first Tosshhyy, the Tosshhyy of my life in Brunei.

2001-2002 “Winter Potato”
My NEC. I enrolled in boarding school middle of term 2. And was given a bulky not to mention, UNCOOL NEC laptop. Everytime i took it out it looked like i was carrying a sack of potatoes..that’s how ugly it was ok? Students that enrolled at the start of the year were offerred slick thin ACERS and Fujitsus (cough Nat cough). IMAGINE NAT I HAD TO CARRY MY BIG ASS UNCOOL NEC LAPTOP TO CLASS EVERYDAY ..THE LAPTOP CARRIED ME..and people kept asking me “Hey, why is your laptop so old. aren’t you new?” through out year 11 and year 12..mcm setaun ku sudah sini kali ah? get over it kali ah computer ku bida..awu bah macam mua kamu kamu semua..ish. Anyways, what is past is past hahahaha.

So yeah,I had no problems with the NEC tho. Well i did, but we always had people to fix it for us at school. One time i accidentally spilt water on the keyboard.. The next day i took it to the “dungeon”(the laptop-servicing department within the school..nicknamed the dungeon cause it was located in a stoney-brick-looking-building).. and got it replaced free of chas. huhuhu. During my school years my NEC had to endure more abuse..but its ok.. we had the people from the dungeon to fix it up. huhu. Had to return my laptop at the end of Highschool though. So i had to get a new one for Uni. which was another……..

…

2003-2005 :- Another Toshiba Sattelite – “My First love, Part II – Sorry i said i love you”
This one lasted quite a while only because i WANT it to last for quite a while.. But by the 6th month of getting it. Most of the keys on the keyboard were missing. I’m not sure why..but i think it was the wind that blew the keys away. serious. I was staying in an apartment on the 24th level, which is..as you know a long way up skali berangin to the max. I had the laptop sitting next to the window (like now!) and left the window open while i went out to go to school. When i came home. Bits and pieces of the letter H G J O B N D were scattered on the floor. Naturally, people didn’t believe my story. So when they ask me what happened to my keys i just tell them; “Ah. kana makan tikus”. I never got it replaced though. Thank god i can touch type..yea suprisingly it was still working tapi paksa takan kuat kuat lah. be muscle jari ku. Well at least ive got something for show and tell when i have visitors over. “wow Syaz!! i wonder how you type ah..how u know which key is which key!?” because i know 😉

by the 1st year.. the fan wasn’t working properly anymore. i had to use the laptop sideways so that it won’t overheat. And then there was a virus, and then i got the fan to work properly again, but there was THAT virus..and then i dropped it, the harddrive went kapoots..and i couldn’t reformat the laptop anymore..and then the missing keys wudnt work anymore..and then i gave up..and broke it in half. the screen i donated to the people in africa with a note saying:-“This children, is what a laptop will look life if you are not poor!” ha ha ha. jahat eh. i can be so morbid sometimes. and the other half.. i keep. the fan’s still working. So ive dismantled and attached it to an ice cream stick – to be used, exsp on a hot day, at weddings. hahahaha “Jangan kamu TOSHIBA NI KIPAS KU ANI.” hahahahahaha.

kidding. the laptop’s at home..collecting dust , tai cacak dll dll (dan lain lain..dan lain lain)

2006 – ?? –
and then i bought a new laptop. An Acer. a chunky bulky acer. i dont know, but i like big fat computers. both toshhies were huge. anyway, im now trying my luck with Acer. its been 9 months. so far so good. nothing wrong with it yet..just running out of space..damn prison break. oh Abruzzi died. yes. i like to annoy my readers. Sorry naik Lorry laaa!! huhuhu. i weeped. for half an hour i weeped. He wasn’t supposed to die. what is Prison break without Abruzzi? 🙁 🙁 🙁 oh. slightly off the topic..um but yeah anyway.. i love my acer. the keys are still intact.. there no lines going accross the screen just yet.. sticker nya ganya lakap. huhuu.

haha. so there. the story of my life. haha. macam cerita korea.

Moral of the story: Kalau membali Toshiba atu..jantah dipakai. Simpan saja dalam Almari. Inda rusak.

Kel’s also currently having problems with her toshiba. tapi kami suka toshiba bah. hehe.

kiss me.

Balik balik sudah ku mendangar album siti nurhaliza ani. kan apal saja ku inda. uwargh. It’s a love and hate relationship i tell you.

wah. now that ive got nothing to do.. ive been bloggiing alot ah? at least 2 posts a day. better make this one short then.

adios amigo (hahaha cali bunyinya)

adios amigo (hahahaha)

ADIOS AMIGOS (HAHAHAHAHA)

Just finished reading Nat Choot’s blog. Nat. I know i call you just “Nat” in real life, sometimes “Natahi”. but i dont know why i have to include your sir name everytime i mention you in my blog. wahaha. She was analysing signatures on group-assignment-sheets in her last post. Funny stuff. A great start to the day.

Its monday. I have a class at 11:30. and here are the list of things im to do this week:-

-Two assignments due in at the end of this week. Thank god the stress is not here yet..oh no wait. it’s here. i feel like strands of hair are popping out of my roots at the mention of assignments.
-Inta’s farewell dinner.
-Nauli’s Housewarming.
-Indo festival.
-make a headstart on economics & performance management assignments.
-paning sikit
-paning banyak
-pingsan

Why would anyone would want to name their daughter Chantal? Everytime i think of the name chantal..i think of bantal. i try to think of other rhyming words. but i can only think of bantal. heh. And i hate the name Doraisammi. He’s a tough assignment marker..and marks attendance the moment the lecture starts. if you happen to be 15min late cause u got hit by a car,tram,bus,boy on a skateboard he will, trust me, mark you absent. because he can..and because his body is made up of billions and billions of microscopic asshole cells. I bet his wife’s name is Minachi.

Doraisammi, i think Minachi wants a divorce.

kiss me.

Saturday morning & afternoon was spent lazing around the house. I had no intention to go out until inta called and asked if we were still on for dinner. Then i remembered that i actually made plans with her to go out this weekend. We initially wanted to go for a road trip out in to the suburbs, a trendy dinner somewhere in Yarra Valley… but the weather this week was not as great as we had expected so we went out for a quick dinner at the Nasi Lemak House on lygon instead (yup. the one with the gangster-Aunty!). Upon arriving there.. the aunty straight away recognized me and went:-

Ghetto Nasi Lemak Aunty:- “HEY! YOU GOT SEE THAT SIGN OR NOT? HALAL ALREADY!”
Me: he he..see i told you. HALAL CHICKEN cheaper kan!?
GNLA:”Ya..”
Me: see..i told you.
GHLA: TSK. BUT NOT BY MUCH LA!!! (fucking kiasu i tell you this aunty!)
Me: BUT STILL CHEAPER ABIT RITE?
GHLA: YA LA YA LA YA LA OK what u want?

I want you to shut the fuck up.

when we were about to leave.. she was like..

GNLA: eh so what you doing after this?
me: sleep.
GNLA: NO BOYFREN kah yOU?? find boyfren la!!
me: Ya ya ya next time i find rich chinese taikong.
GNLA: WAH. IF CHINESE I WANT.
me: *sneer* single is it?
GNLA: ya la.

I smiled and said goodbye. NOW WHY AM I NOT SUPRISED THAT SHE’S SINGLE? HELLO. I THINK ANY RICH CHINESE TAIKONG OR ANYCHINESE MAN FOR THAT MATTER WOULD KNOW BETTER THAN TO TAKE HER AS A WIFE. But since im not really that jahat even though i sound like a bitch most of the time, im going to do her a favour by doing this;

anyone out there searching for a wife?
would a middle-aged Aunty who makes one hell of a good nasi lemak do?
if yes,please email me with your details. She may look ganas. but she’s really sweet. i promise 🙂

Drove up to the trendy Fitzroy street for churros afterwards.Delicious traditional spanish donuts dipped in your choice of chocolate.. milk,white,dark. Ive actually passed by St Churros the chocalatier a few times before but i never realised it was a cafe. I tot it was just a chocolate boutique and the name was St Churros simply because the owner wanted to name it St Churros. inda ku te click sana bejual churros. huhuhu. but yeah it was good the mocca i had was good too..a tad too sweet. but very chocola-tey.I can always count on Inta to bring me to the good places to eat.

But After last nite. i dont think i’d want to see another piece of churros every again in my life. bliak. muak.

Went home straight after for a karaokeing session. What we like to call a karaoke session with the Harsonos. Inta and her sister Dinda both sing exceptionally well..

anyway, in the spirit of true karaoke-ing and singing off-key, ill leave you with our rendition of “Saving all my love for you” by whitney houston – “Lelaki Memanglah Penipu”.

enjoy!!

hahahahaha. Lelaki Memanglah Penipu by Dinda,Inta,Sas,Molly & Kelly

Dinda: “tiba tiba semua diem.. and then there’s like a slow clap…”

*LOL*.
kiss me.

Still in my comfy shoes.. huhu. Muji, Andhika, Sissy, Sassy, Billy.

Just got back from drinks at Hairy Cannary. They serve up the best Mango Juice in the mango juice planet. Had Natalie and Natalie’s bestfriend Ching-ee (sometimes Singh Ee) for company. The place was jampacked for a Wednesday Night. Why? Its fashion week! of course! no wonder everyone there was stylish-ly dressed. chic. ok. that’s the word chic. everyone was CHIC. shik. sheek. not chick (you moron!) even the men (obviously, they were kong) were chic, much to my annoyance . It’s seldom that you see orang puteh (oh sorry, caucasians) flaunting original speedy bags around the place..same goes to having the Dolce & Gabanna V3s. Its good to see that they’re running away from their Nokia-3310 friends once in a while. sigh.

I’m sure there’s a secret to looking like a million bucks without having to splurge on a pair of cavalli’s kan?

Anyways, That was good you guys, just chilling, talking..bitching about the cold weather. It’s been raining the whole day. on and off. and its the first week of spring. and there i was, expecting better weather. to think im over bitching about melbourne’s weather after all these years kan?

On another note, im still compiling pictures from last week’s idola melben. Im just waiting for pictures from Nawa’s camera now and of course photos by the profesh photographers we had on the night. so yeah..its still gonna be a short wait 😉

pic courtesy of Natalie : These people are the reason why i rocked on stage 😉 the Penang-Melburnian & Bru-Melburnian connection. to the rest of the bruneians who came to support me; mun,ujai,khalilah,nasirah, nafeah, maya.. i cant thank you girls enough for coming. there’s only SO many bruneians here kan? hehe thanks guys for making it a night to remember 🙂

life’s back to normal now that the competition is over. No more heart attacks ..crying..going home feeling like you want to pingsan after a hard day of rehearsing.. etc etc..and certainly no more LIME JUICE. huhuhuhuhu. just catching up with school work now.

Staying here for summer to do summer school. Ive made plans of sharing a bikini with Nat to wear on the beach this summer. I quote Nat:- “Ok. since its 70 bucks for one..why dont you and i share share.. you $35 i $35..we take turns wearing it on the beach”. hahaha.

give nat some love. dont forget to feed the pets located on the right handside of the blog. if ure reading it from a mirror..left handside. haha. it’s addictive i can spend hours on her page just playing with them. heh. oh. nat likes to show off too.

im off to sleep now.

kiss me!

lots of love, hugs, kisses..
