the stories that happened yesterday
my not-so-secret getaway
exams exams exams! i've been working my ass of lately for the finals. and honestly i still think that i could have done better for the papers. WAY better.
currently i have so many things in mind. mixed feelings. upset. confused. sad. clownish.
and i bet it's not because of my PMS because if it is, at least i have a reason to light things up a bit by blaming it on the hormones. and the more i think about it, the more upset i am. friends and loved ones have given me the support, but it is always easier said than done kan?
if i have a magic lamp/cawan/mangkuk/teko i would wish for an ability to teleport. i just have to close my eyes and wham! it's Damai resort!!! Holy Crap...
yeap, my not-so-secret getaway. my mom loves it there too. we used to just lepak there without registering as the resort's guest. (shhhh...we sneaked in!) and then my mom will choose to sit by her favorite beach chair and read a novel.
i was free to play around the resort. see hot mat salehs, see hot miss mat salehs, eat fish and chips by the pool bar, swimming, or just stand under the coconut tree with a face that says, "yo, am i or am i cool...?".
when my mom's friend asked her, "aren't you worried that your daughter's all by herself at the pool or beach? what if she gets drowned?".
and my mom just said, "Meh."
i love this spot.
being a lazy bum, i would normally hopped on those huge rocks to get to the lagoon. why waste time and energy to use the staircase i thought?
then it was all about the sea waves. the little holes made by the tiny crabs. soft sand beneath your feet. the salty smell. the wind blowing. old mat saleh couples basking under the sun. kids making sandcastle.
but ever since there's such things like high schools, periods, hiking oil price, resort's renovation and their newly strict entry we've been there for at most once a year! grrrr
oh Damai, i miss you. i love you baby!

the stories that happened yesterday
is it you, is it you?
last weekend my boyfriend and i terrorized KL.
keyelll babeyh...
we went makan, shopping, jalan-jalan and watched Ip Man 2. it was absolutely fab. i seriously never thought it was based on a true story - which led to the birth of the legendary Bruce Lee.
sambal sotong. what UP??!!
and theeeen, as i walked into Forever 21, i noticed someone soo familiar. OMG! i thought...it's Hunny Madu!!!
i wanted to make sure so i followed her, while keeping a straight face. i was shocked when she suddenly spinned around. so i pretended to look interested at the clothes by the nearest rack. but to my utter horror i accidentally chose the wrong "cover act" since the rack was stocked with miniskirts, bare backs and all the things you would never see a women with hijabs wear.
fortunately Hunny Madu never seemed to notice. she was busy humming to the current track played by the store while picking out almost 4-6 clothes on her left arm. hmm rich kid. wonder how much being a Vj and Dj had cost her, i mused. what with her beautiful out of saloon locks, make up and Gucci tote.
hookay, she has walked north. walked FASTER suria.
then after a few considerable thoughts, i finally have the guts to confront her.
suria: erm, sekiuss me?
Hunny Madu: *turns with oh so mesmerizing eyes* yes?
suria: are you Hunny Madu?
Hunny Madu: hmm *looks around* no, i'm not her.
suria: really? oh...you look just like her... *wants to be buried underground*
Hunny Madu: *smile*
suria: sorry...
*head down, walked straight out of the store*
Dammit. even if it wasn't her i could have SWORN that i've seen her in tv. who is she then??? she looks like a combination of Hunny Madu and Marion Counter. anyone knows who???
gahhh i felt really dum dum. i've seen a lot of Malaysian artists in KL but never have the guts to approach and take pictures with them. so that explains my sudden go-for-it spirit in Forever 21.
which indeed, failed. buuuuu
anyhoo, thank you so much for putting up with me deng. it melts my heart thinking you'd even want to go KL with me albeit the strict budget you should be having. sorry for the times where i've ignored/yelled/scoffed/rolled eyes/taekwondo(a lil) at you.
all of that just to ease my stupid jadedness.
(please ignore the scary huge eyes sherene :P)
i am one lucky bujat.
love, S.

the stories that happened yesterday
gotta live like we're dying
my face was in a state so that cover up was necessary
exams over!!!
till the next month :(
but at least i'm finally done with the 3 tests this week. all those sleepless nights, lunch-less days which kept me awake in the afternoons to study are finally overrr! so last night i went to Mcd because double cheeseburger misses Suria Melanie.
i snapped some pictures and then realized how the 3 tests had taken its toll on me. eyebags. blackheads. eek! not to the mention sleepy eyes. eek!
anyhoo...harini cuti, esok cuti, lusa pun cuti. *monkey dance*
aaaand Iron Man 2 dah keluar. can't wait to watch. hehe
today i woke up at 11am, performed my so-much-Qada-Subuh prayer then threw myself back on the bed, pulled the covers, tuned in to mix.fm and laze around for 2 hours. ahh bliss.
but now i'm facing a very huge pile of laundry. anyone care to be my helpful Cinderella? huhu

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
