the call
2 days ago i received a very mysterious yet hilarious phone call.
man: do not look back! there's a cop following you.....
suria: ah?
man: do not look back. there's a cop following you....
suria: aaaah?
man: *coughs* do not look back. you have a cop following you.....
suria: what? ah?
man: donotlookbackacopisfollowingyou.
suria: *looks back, and sees her clothes hanging in the wardobe*
man's friend: *thailand thailand thailand*
-hangs up-
i looked at the phone in a daze, trying to 'access' the situation. that was my friend Sermphon. he and his buds must have gotten the wrong person.....by thinking that the person in front of them was me! and that person happened to be driving with a cop behind!
aha! case solved.
OMG it was So. Cute. nice try though, for i was instantly nervous for no good reason!!!!
and the last conversation would most likely be:
man: hey man that's NOT her!!! we got the wrong person!!!
HAHA
p/s: you guys made my day :)

the stories that happened yesterday
of Taj Mahal and hellos
i just got off the phone with my mom who's in India now. The food is okay, but it is very dirty & hot there with overcrowded citizens. She also said she has met a lot of Shah Rukh Khans there, where a majority of them looked just like Anis =.="
erm. anggaplah belakang tu Taj Mahal ye...
She even joked and sort of deduced the theory that his grandparents originated from India/Pakistan. And they were lucky enough to have 'escaped' to Malaysia, a country promising wealth and harmony. Sometimes we talked just about that and then we both hung up. so what do you have to say bout this hon? :P
Omigosh is my fate really with a renowned Bollywood sweetheart???
*lagu Jai Ho kian berkumandang*
My brother's favorite verse from Sonnet#18 by Shakespeare:
Shall I compare thee to a Summer's Day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate...
HAHA ok gangguan semata-mata
Sometimes i dread the phone calls. The line gets pretty bad at most times. Not to mention the laggings. It's pretty obvious when i say something, i can hear my own voice being repeated, then only a while later will i hear my mom's reply.
And just recently I found the only position and place where my signal bar has at least one red bar - on my bed! and i also have to stand up while talking, fixed to that area of the bed. if i moved a little bit, then the line goes poof.
Sometimes we both have to yell in the phone. people who have got no idea on anything might even thought we are fighting. :S
Sometimes i have to choose the right words to say - the most important ones first since she's always running out of credit. man it's like a competition! we both have to compromise on who has to speak first. sometimes when the call has ended and i have forgotten to tell her something uber importante i would get really frustrated. i can't call her back since i did not subscribe for roaming calls.
but it's actually meaningful you know. you'll appreciate someone more now that she/he is no where near you and all those rare phone calls just makes you jump in excitement, but also a frustrating one when you have actually got to the phone and said HELLO HELLO like a barbaric lad so many times but the call finally had ended only to realize that you forgot to press the 'answer' button.
TAHI BETUL LAH.

Pucker up!
there's one thing where you would never catch me without - lip balms. i have very dry lips and they'll get chapped easily no matter how many gallons of water i gulped down. i wear lip balm at all times, even during my sleep. klau tak, bangun pagi bibir merekah kaler putih bak mayat snow white. zzzz....
so i poured myself a drink today using my house mate's mug which was white in color. after drinking it it left a lip mark as you can see. it very much reminds me of my grandma at home.
whenever you enter the kitchen and see a glass stained with lipstick, you'll know who it belongs to. even the toddlers know this. they just simply look at it in awe first, said "e" and then left it the way it was.
gosh i miss my grandma and her cooking. her chicken curry omaigot... *food orgasm*

to get this
and this
we had to endure 45mins of continous grey ribbon stretched ahead of us, the dim lit road, crazy vehicle drivers, the cold wind painfully striking our faces and ah, the smell of fresh taik lembu. All till we see the huge and comforting mcD sign.
But as they say, it is not the result that is important, it is the journey.
and mine was above all...
priceless...

All the little things...
i never liked jagung bakar. it creates this uncomfortable feeling when it gets stuck between your teeth after eating. but when my roomie bought it for me the other day (she is still unaware of my distaste for jagung bakar), i was flattered so i ate the whole thing up like an ice cream. and flossed afterwards. aaah my savior. hehe.
well, it's the intention that counts kan?
and do you know that UTP has another way of torturing their students? by having really really sharp furnitures. how slick of them... now i have very colorful knees. oh how i love the feeling of the SHARP PAIN piercing when it hits me. tearing my delicate skin apart. and how joyful it is to watch them turn from bloody red to blue blacks!
oh how i love utp! you bring such happiness to my life!

the stories that happened yesterday
all i ever wanted
guess the driver...
one lazy evening, i got pretty excited to know that i was finally on the right path to a healthy body & mind - exercise. so i was dressed up in a normal tshirt and sweatpants without a hint of makeup.
to my horror when tidja and awie came to pick me up they looked nothing like those wanting to go for a jog.
turns out that we were going to ipoh for ayam penyet. miscom. HAHA. darn. oh well. how can i resist food? foooooood. oh yummy food...
the place was in Ipoh, at the new buidling just opposite jj which is the utpians typical place of hanging out. it was my first time there, and also my very first time to indulge into this sumptuous traditional Indonesian cuisine:
ayam penyet (smashed crispy fried chicken)
time to activate your taste buds:
it is served with marinated chicken, fried beancurd, tempe, boiled kangkong, rice and sambal belacan. unique thing about the ayam penyet is that the chicken is crispy outside and juicy+tender inside. you can taste the herbs and spices with such exquisite details. the sambal belacan i tell you...was blazing hot! so hooray for spicy lovers!
i almost cried and tidja's lips were so red that she did not need any lipstick. puteri stayed serene thoughout the whole meal. rindukan shafiq nakal la tuhh :P
and then we managed to take a couple of strolls around the new area. thumbs up to "De Closet" boutique! they sell woman garments from top to bottom. bags, heels, blouse, dress, skirts, belts, you name it. i bought a ruffled white top and tidja a very square looking handbag. one and only in Malaysia, the shop owner had claimed. i have no idea.
awie still, stayed calm. i was amazed by how she managed to restrain herself from buying anything there. i couldn't. the dresses were all calling for me. wanting me to stroke them, try them on, exchange them for a few Ringgits, put them in a glossy new plastic bag and then bring them home. aaaaaaaaah sinful temptations!!!
and now i have only rm1 in my wallet. sigh...
but it was fun! would really love to go out with you guys again!
and pls make sure that next time i will not be wearing sweatpants for shopping?
:D

screw merry. it's sushi-go-round!
umdao, liang yi and me terrorized sushi king for lunch yesterday. we drove, no no, we literally flew to Ipoh right after our class. both three were hungry mungry i tell you!
now that i am staying at a new residential, i rarely hang out with umdao. so when liang yi asked me out with the fact that our thailand princess is tagging along i thought, "hey why not?". plus sushi king is having a promotion. purple plate whose normal price was rm6 went down to rm2. so yeah, strike the sushi while it's hot!
oh yes, you may salivate now.
it was a full house by the time we reach there. talking about peak hours and cheap food...
then coincidently we met Eddie and his gf at sushi king and made them join us. the more the merrier! when a table was finally made available, we immediately stretched ourselves towards the awesome-est man-made machine ever - the conveyor belt.
so since it was the promotion, we aimed for the purple plates. it was rough. lots of people were waiting by the belt to snatch the yummy ones - the purple colors mostly. you guys should have seen eddie and the gf. they worked in harmony. when the purple plates were approaching the gf would nudge eddie and he will stretch out his very long hands out and get the best ones first.
they are soo made for each other.
and apart from the time constraint, it was the perfect girls day out.
love love love!

the stories that happened yesterday
who next?
your mother.
who next?
your mother?
and then your father.
On 28th December 1992, our family went through a very rough patch. My dad died. Since then, my mother has taken the role of both father and mother to me and my brother. First of all she had to find a job because she quit hers when she couldn't bear my brother's pleads and cries every morning when we both were taken to the babysitter (she was working as a clerk then). Then my mom found a job and worked really hard since she has suddenly taken the responsibility to feed 3 mouths. So now and then when I started to have negative thoughts on the toughest days I would think of my mom.
Being the youngest, yes, I am a (very) spoiled brat given the privilege that my mom always have a soft spot on me (sori abang!). She would rarely turn down my wants and needs, though I still am confused between the two. Haha.
I was still drinking milk from the bottle when this pix was taken. Sad.
She was always away on her job. I hated it so much that I once hid her flight ticket. But she managed to buy another ticket on the same day anyway. T.T She would normally book her flight time way before dawn, when I was still asleep. Once I found out that she was nowhere to be seen I'l cry and cry till my grandparents had to bring me to my favourite place on earth: The Kuching Waterfront.
The best part was when she brought me along for her worktrip to places like Thailand, Shanghai and Germany. I totally love her for that!
relax, it was jz a toy cigaratte. and that beer? i found it from the counter and for sure i did not drink it! I think i wanted to display the 'mafia look'...
However, if possible, to give her daughter some 'adult thinking' on the bad side of the big big world she would tell me some of her stories starting with "when I was a little girl.......". Well, when I was a little girl, I would normally frown at that statement since it meant just another lecture for me. But later on the years I know behind all this, lies wisdom which a mother is trying to pass to her child.
my mom's version of: when I was a little girl....
-she used to hate going to school because the only road available had maaaaany snakes. Everyday (she solemnly claimed so) a snake would slide out from the long tall grass, and once it had stopped, straighten its back in a defensive manner right in front of her. But luckily it did not attack.
moral of story:
if she was able to attend school without using THAT as an excuse to skip class, then what are the odds for me skipping lectures?
-being poor she had no money to buy shoes that are padded with multifabrics and rubber for comfort and all that. so she had to walk on those pair of shoes which were ultra-thin, that on hot sunny days her little feet had burn marks.
moral of story:
as long as your feet shows no sign of burn marks, don't waste money on buying new shoes. (this i feel like a hypocrite writing since now I have soo many kasut! aiyo!)
need.to.stop.shoeholic.disease. T.T
-having 10 siblings and the eldest sister in the family, she had to babysit (almost all the time) her younger brothers and sisters. it was a tough one, since my uncles and aunts were very naughty back then. my mom once caught her baby sister eating mud and rocks from the backyard and her toddler brother 'ran away' to the neighbour's house across the street - beliau merajuk sebab mak tak kasi duit kaler merah! -.-"
moral of story:
handle your responsibilities well. and don't complain, because life is teaching you to be a better person.
And she always slip in some stories of her being popular among the school kids. And i assure you dear readers, she was and still is beautiful and sizzling. Ulalala!
Growing up she never had the chance to play with REAL toys. So to compensate for that she bought me Barbie dolls and all those girly stuff she couldn't have gotten back in her younger days. Now she digs computer games, aka ZUMA!!!
pemain ZUMA tegar
Words could not describe how blessed I am to have her.
:')
