Random...
They will fetch me and we will be off to Jengka, Pahang to attend my cousin's wedding. And to help out with the wedding preparations. LOL.
Hoho, nak jadi wedding photographer lagi. Huhuhuhu.
And DBSK's going to hold their concert in Malaysia! Hohoho! I want to go!
Malizah is hoping that DBSK will hold their concert before December, as she'll be off to India to pursue her study in Medicine in that month Huhuhuhu. I'm gonna miss her :(
Arashi, when are you guys going to come here???!!! I want backstage passes too! And Arashi goodies and memorabillias. Hehe. And get Matsujun, Sho, Nino, Ohno and Aiba's autographs. Get their pictures taken with me. Get my picture taken with MATSUJUN! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh *fantasizing*.
Oh yeah enough about them. I vividly remember a year ago, where I attended a wedding of my cousin in Perak. Ahh... One year had passed by.
Oh, I'm gonna be 19 this year. And 20 next year. Seriously? TWENTY??? There will be no more 'TEEN' in my age! ARIENATSUNO!!!
Enough with the dramas. I'm blogging from my room in Block A in ZC. And apparently, there is a blackout going on in Block B and C. There are no lights in the bathroom! It is almost pitch dark! Alamak, I'm hearing the Isyak Azan. Hoho.
MUET-O
Oh, seriously, it wasn't just difficult, IT WAS HARD!!!
I can tolerate reading comprehension though, as the questions are a bit 'answerable' compared to the exercises I've done in the book. But goodness knows whether the answers chosen are the correct ones. Hopefully. :)
Estimation: Band 5. (Like, seriously? I can get Band 5 if I get at least 10 wrong answers, I supposed, huhu. Memandai aje)
As for the writing part. Ermm. I think that will blow my chance of getting Band 5. The first section was OK. I described the two figures using sentences like ' significant increase', 'relatively stable', 'declined steadily,' etc. The thing I'm afraid is that it might be a bit long. I did one and a half page. And it's not supposed to be more than 200 words. I can't help it! *smile weakly*But it was due to the cancellations I did on some parts of the paper and maybe it is because of my big handwritings. I don't know. Hopefully the examiner will be lenient. Huhu.
The second section is about ICT. The question went on something like this. ICT is the main cause of social ills. What are your opinions?
I strongly opposed the statement of course, backing my own stand with three points.
But then, the clock was ticking and I didn't really have enough time to construct coherent, impressive sentences and just went off writing whatever that came into my head. So, it's not really good. Considering the time pressure. Only one and a half hours? Get real! But I did check for grammar mistakes though. And managed to change them all in the bloody 10 minutes time.
And I did insert some idioms for extra marks, LOL.
Estimation: Band 4
The third and final part of the day was the listening section. Quite contrary to the reading comprehension part, I feel that the real test is a bit difficult compared to the exercises I've done, where the answers given are quite direct.
This, however, turned out to be almost horrendous, particularly on the first section. Which is an interview with the bloody so-called director of Angkasawan program.
I seriously can't figure out the answers to TWO questions. Err, ONE, actually. I know the answer for the first one, but not really sure with the sentence structure, LOL. And so, I just hentam-ed the second question, of which I totally didn't have any clue. The second part is the best. I hope I get all of them correct. The third part was a bit tricky. But I managed to catch some words from the tape. And just fill in the blanks with the words, with appropriate sentence structure, of course. Listening MUET is harder compared to EPT though the tape is played twice. The answers given(from the tape) are not parallel with the sentence of the questions, and thus you have to paraphrase it to make it coherent.
Estimation: Band 4.5 LOL
Trying to be optimistic of course. I'm still aiming for BAND 5! Well, when you scored low band for your MUET, it doesn't mean that you are not good in English. Being good in something, English particularly, is a subjective matter. And it also depends on the definition of 'being good'.
Well at least, I didn't have to repeat my EPT in the first semester. And I was the only student in my class and one of the eight students in Level 6 English who scored a solid A. And my GCE-O Level is A1. Those achievements in English are considered, OK. Not bragging. Just consoling myself, LOL. MUET, you know? The possibility of getting Band 4 and below? Hohoho.
So, MUET is not that important, seriously. It's more like a personal achievement. I salute those who scored Band 6. They are really good. And they have HIGH level of English proficiency. I'm sure that those exempted students like Bun, Julia, Amiirah and Hannah are able to get Band 6.
Well, good luck.
I'm not giving up though. I will still strive my best for MUET speaking. Getting at least Band 5. Huhuhu. Well, that's all from me.
P/S. Just finished reading Ramlee Awang Murshid's Hijab Sang Pencinta. IT WAS BRILLIANT! HE IS BRILLIANT! In fact, I regard him as the most brilliant author in Malaysia. You just got to read his books. Though the ending is quite sad. It really touched my heart. Laksamana Sunan died and it was the time where Portuguese invaded Malacca. You just got to read it to understand the feeling. Hoho.
That's all. Seriously.

Homesickness
Unfortunately for me, my lovely home is situated quite far from here. Imagine. SIX HOURS of journey from KL to Kedah. That is, if you go home by bus.
I'm bored! I'm bored! I'm bored!
I'm bored and tired of staying in UIA.
BOSAN GILER!!!
I don't even have mood to go out for outings, as if that's going to help to cure my boredom.
I'm bored laaaa.....
I'm even glad if there are lectures being held today.
BOSAN!
What I did is just... Wake up. Switched on laptop, internet. Read people's blogs, which most of them are not updated, LOL.
Then bathroom, then buy food. Syidah's not even in my room. She has classes. I'm all alone and I'm freaking bored!!!
The situation gets even worse in the afternoon. I'm bored. I don't want to just read MUET all day long. I want to GO OUT and SPEND TIME with my FAMILY!
UIA tends to have holidays that contradict with my parents' and my siblings' school holidays.
And thus, I can't follow them whenever they're off on vacations somewhere else. This happened frequently! It's saddening and ANNOYING, YOU KNOW???!!!!
And it's about to happen again.My mum had booked tickets for the whole family to go to Singapore. Air Asia la. It's cheap if you booked a few months early.
And yeah, I CAN'T GO! ARGHHHHHHH!!!!!
Now why did they give us only TWO FREAKING WEEKS of holidays?
Ok, relax, Sarah. Look at the bright side. Next year, you would't have any short sem! :D
And even in main camp. Pharmacy students have different system of holidays and lectures compared to the Medic, Dentistry and Nursing students.
It's the same with what we have right now. Only that they give us 2 months (kot?) of semester vacation before a new semester starts! Yaayy!
As for the others, they are following the block system. Dunno how it works. But I reckon there might be lots of subjects that they have to take in main camp. And that's why they have to take the UNGS here in PJ. UNGS is a main camp subject. Oh well...
I'm worried about Bio Lab all of a sudden. The marks, I mean. We're going to get back our previous lab reports' marks and goodness knows how will I fare. Someone said that students from other classes obtained quite low marks. Ahhh... I hope Bro. Mahathir is lenient enough to give me an A for my overall grade. :D Insya-Allah.
Anyway, two good news coming along. My dad's going to fetch me on th 17th of May, the date of which I'm going to have my Bio Lab exam. He'll be attending a course in KL from 4th to 17th of May. So, he'll be around. Just the perfect time, eh? Before, I was quite sure that I'm gonna have to go back alone as Hanis finished her exam on the 15th. So.. My dad's fetching me! I'll just have to make sure that I don't put the silent mode on my phone and I'm not surfing the net at that time, LOL.
BRING HANDPHONE!!!
And I'm planning to meet Jem straight away after I finished my exam in SM Building. She's coming! :D Alas!
Yup, Jem and the rest of the taaruf committees are going to register themselves on the 17th of May from 9 a.m to 4 p.m.
So, hopefully we can meet! :D
And I don't want to change the current room I'm living in, please! I don't care whether the bathroom is situated at the end of the corridor (which is quite FAR) and I don't care whether we're facing ABC.
I don't want to change room! It's a hassle to pack and unpack my things, stuffing them into the gonna- be- crowded store room. I'm gonna need a large box. To stuff my books. Huhu.
So, I don't want to change room. Well, I hope so. :(. I hope that the mahallah authority will inform us earlier regarding the room that we're going to occupy for the next two semesters.
I hope my cousin, Mukmin, my friends, Farah Humaira and Intan Sabrina and some Convent juniors will get accepted to enroll in UIA.
MUET exam's TOMORROW! *gasp dramatically*
That's all from me.

Alter-Ego...
(Sarah Sarcastic. Please excuse the numerous flaws in my drawing. I drew it using the touch pad for goodness' sake, LOL)That's Sarah Sarcastic. My Alter-Ego.
I admired the characteristics that she possessed. Unlike me. Both of us are different in several ways.
Sarah Sarcastic doesn't care what people thought of her. She doesn't care other people's opinions about her. She is not afraid to voice out her opinions and she will stand up to her rights and others.
Sarah Sarcastic is not emotional and doesn't let her emotions control her judgment, everything she's doing and make sure it doesn't affect her everyday life.
Sarah Sarcastic is a heartless person.
Sarah Sarcastic is high spirited, unlike me, who is sometimes in a low mood due to PMS, LOL.
Well, that's really me. Sarah Sarcastic is a part of me.
Once you saw the characteristics that Sarah Sarcastic possessed while I'm talking or doing something, that's it. I was Sarah Sarcastic at that time.
And when you see me giving sarcastic remarks out of a sudden, that is Sarah Sarcastic. And when I quickly regretted what I've said and off apologizing profusely to the offended person. That's me.
And when I suddenly can't think of anything sarcastic to reply to those who sneered at me, yeah, that's me. Sarah Sarcastic was off sleeping somewhere.
In the Alter-Egos land.
Who occupied it? All the alter-egos that existed in this world. By world I mean both fictional and reality.
Superman-the alter-ego of Clark Kent.
Hannah Montana- the alter ego of Miley Stewart.
Mr.Hyde- the alter ego of Dr. Jekyll.
Ok, I shall stop. I'm not deranged or anything, LOL. Just a bit emo. I miss home. I miss my family. I want to go home. Maybe I will stay at my grandaunt's house this weekend. Having relatives here in a way means that you are not alone. :(

I'm going to get a RAT! Hohohoho :D :D :D
Next week, we're going to have dissection for Bio Lab. We're going to dissect white lab rat. Each of us will get one rat! YESSS!!!!
NO!!!
It's SO CUTE! I don't have the heart to dissect it!
Sarah Sarcastic said cynically, rolling her eyes " WTH Sarah, it's just a bloody rat anyway, be professional for goodness' sake!"
Sarah Sarcastic is my alter-ego. The other side of me, I mean. You know, like Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde? I'll elaborate on it later. Proper introduction later.
Sarah Kushairi just ignored Sarah Sarcastic.
Can I just, ok...
Ermm, dissect it, hopefully the anaethesia thing works marvelously, so the rat wouldn't feel any pain and urmm... Can I stitch it back? You know, and not kill it?
But that would have been impossible, right???
Because there will be two parts in the dissecting process. And the second part will be carried out after two days!
Will my dearest gonna be pet rat be able to survive the tormenting 48 hours?
And DIE???
NO!!!
I'm thinking of an absurd and preposterous, ridiculous plan.
You know, making it alive again, just like Frankenstein? And have anyone watched 'Growing up Creepy' where she used the same method to bring her lab frog back to live?
That's absurd of course. Only Allah has the right and power to take and give someone's life back.
In this case, the rat's gonna die, I think. And it's ITS time. Nothing to regret. Dah sampai ajal, huhuhuhuhu.
I'm going to bring the camera and captured everything next week. Yeah, I promise!
Jem jangan muntah tau!
Anyway, is there any animal hospital near UIA PJ?
Can I just send it to 'Trauma dan Kecemasan Pusat Perubatan Universiti Malaya'? :P
And I'm thinking f naming my gonna be pet rat.
Well, I'm still thinking about it. Jun? :P Yeah, JUN!!!! JUN MATSUMOTO!!!
I'm gonna call the rat JUN MATSUMOTO! Hope it's a male. Can't stand it if there is some trace of smaller rat babies in the womb of female rat. NO!!! It's horrible!!!
Well, if I DO get a female rat (still hoping it's a male), I'm gonna call it JEM! Any objection, Jem? Or do you want to suggest other appropriate names? You'd better do! :D :D :D
Fine, I'll call it Jun Matsumoto anyway! Regardless of its gender!
EDIT: Jem suggested the name 'mousey' to it. She said that it is more animal-ish and less humane.
Well, I was contemplating whether to choose Jun Matsumoto or Mousey. Never mind la.
MOUSEY!!! WHAT A CUTE NAME!!! :D :D :D
I hope the rat's cute though. But I wouldn't have the heart to dissect it then. Insya-Allah, I'll try, Huhuhu.

KL Book Fair
There were a lot of things going on. We got lost in the labyrinth of books, searching for the way out with the immense feeling of thirst, hunger and not to mention, aching feet. We were tensed up, frustrated and tired.
I searched for the MALAY novels that I wanted to have in the 'Alaf 21' booth. I do read Malay novels. Even my friends couldn't believe it. Who are they? To name a few. Syidah, Hazie, Fizah, Aishah, Wan, Siti. Surprised? No? Do I have the 'I only read English books/novels' written on my forehead? I'm an open minded person. I believe that one person shouldn't restrict his/her reading habit towards some categories and genres only. Support your local authors and their books!
For example. I read English novels. Malay novels. Informative books. Motivational books. COMICS like Ujang and Apo? I used to read 'Lanun'. Japanese mangas. BLOGS!!!! :D, magazines, newspapers (tabloids included), etc.
I read everything! I love ALL reading materials and I have a very wide reading scope. I can'tstand it when someone said " Oh, I don't read comics. They're a waste of time," OH, WTH. Be open mindedla dude!
I got my supply of comics (borrowed them, la) from Fizah. Hoho. She enticed me into reading Japanese mangas.
Anyway, I digress. :P
Judging by what I saw in the book fair, of which it was crowded with thousands of people, I can say that Malaysians do love to read. What's with the negative statement saying 'Malaysians don't read much?'
I bought two novels earlier. One is from Creative Enterprise. I purchased it at a bargain price of RM5!!!! And the original price is RM15.90. Imagine, I saved almost RM11!!!
And the second one is from Alaf 21.
As for the third one...Oho, I bought this unexpectedly and impulsively.
Syidah went to the Alaf 21 booth on the ground floor to get an autograph of Siti Rosmizah, a very talented author cum lawyer. She bought Siti Rosmizah's book just before that.
As for me, I was still searching for the books. I got tired and frustrated. The books were not there!
And suddenly, I heard the squeaky and giggly voice of a secondary school girl
" Eheehehehehe. Ramlee Awang Murshid laaaa!!!!"
WHAT? I turned my head dramatically and saw a guy sitting by the table, his back facing me, signing something.
"Eheheheheheheh. Nak beli la buku dia,"
Oh, this can't be! I must get his autograph too! And so, I quickly grabbed a copy of 'Hijab Sang Pencinta', (I've read the prequel and it is AWESOME!!!), purchased it and brought it to the table.
I just looked at him with an indescribable facial expression. He smiled and said
" Assalamualaikum, adik,"
" Huh? Waalaikummussalam,"
He asked my name and signed his autograph on the book. HIS AUTOGRAPH!!!! Anyway, he is quite good looking (for a father figure, I mean). :)
I was speechless. I didn't even wear the appropriate facial expression on my face. Shocked? Surprised? Happy? Might be...
And he handed the book to the guy besides him. The guy put a sticker on the book.
Ramlee Awang Murshid said " Kalau ada masa, tengoklah laman web tu," (You can surf the web address given if you've got time)
I was grinning like a pompous idiot.
" Terima kasih," I said and still grinning. (Thank you)
" Sama-sama," he replied. (You're welcome) and smiled.
I went running and hopping after that, and bumped into Hazie.
Hazie said " Wah, seronok nampak!" (You looked happy!)
I replied nonchalantly " Mesti laaaa," (Of course)
WTH SARAH, you've forgotten to take his picture! WTH ! WTH! WTH! Oh well, tak ada rezeki...
Okay, here it is. The EVIDENCE!!!!
(Love the cover!!!!! :D)
:DAnyway, my mum would have been happy because I have collected 6 book receipts for her. She wants them for the purpose of claiming the income tax, whatever that is. LOL.
Okay, the total amount I've spent.
1. Transportation- RM6.00
2. Books- RM 39.00. You can get THREE LOCAL BOOKS for the price of ONE Cecelia Ahern's or one Stephenie Meyer's book!
3. Drink - RM 1.00. We bought the tasteless 'cincau' drink by the roadside. The price of foods and drinks in PWTC are freaking expensive. One soft drink for RM 6???? No way Jose.
Total: RM 46.00! YAHOO!!! Less than RM 50.00!!!!
Next time, Syidah and I planned to go to Mid Valley and watch movie. We called it 'Budget Plan'.
We have to stuff our stomach with food from ZC Cafe first. Bring mineral water and only RM 10.
1. Transportation: RM 2.00
2. Movie Ticket: Maximum RM 8.00.
So, the maximum amount we're gonna spend is RM 10.00! Yes!!! Our main purpose is to just watch the movie. Nothing else. The movie'd better be good...
I spent almost RM 80.00 in Mid Valley a few weeks ago. No clothes.
Just
1. Books (again!) and CLEO.
2. Food
3. Toiletries.
4. Transport
And I have plans of going to National Zoo too! Hohohoho. I've never been there before. How pathetic. :(

Jem tagged me!!! OMG! OMG! *cue dramatic action*
2) Then go to the 5th folder of photos.<---------It's supposed to be 6th, but Jem said number 5 is awesome.
3) Then go to the 5th picture in that folder.
4) Put the picture on your blog n description of it.
5) Invite 5 friends to join the challenge.
6) Link them in your blog n let them know they have been challenged.
Okay,

( I dunno who captured this. Sorry for the blurry image. The champions,surrounded by ermm...plastic glasses filled with orange cordial) Sorry for the small size. :P :P :P. You can see it a little bit clearly if you distance yourself from the computer screen. :)
What can I say, the resolution is not that good. Resolution refers to the sharpness and quality of image being displayed on the computer screen. LOL
Treasure Hunt competition for Hisbah Siti Mariam. Held in August, one week before Ramadhan.
Group members: Sarah, Syidah, Aqila, Husna, Hamizah.
We won the competition anyway, beating the seniors who were then, unsatisfied and thus went off making hurtful remarks. WTH la, sisters! We won it fair and square!
That is, after going through lots of 'Fear Factor' like tasks. DISGUSTING!
Aqila vomited. Thank God I watched enough Fear Factor before getting involved in such stupid tasks. Each of us got a nice photo frame. It's made of glass. Decoupaged glass. Hoho.
I tagged:
I don't care. Anyone who cares to do so.
Jun Matsumoto rejected me! How could he????!!!!!
Jun Matsumoto laughs at such absurdity and says " BAKA! You think you can pretend to be me? In your dreams, sucker!!!!" *cue evil laughter*
He's pathetic, the poser. And the naive, immature fans are equally pathetic.
Me too. Making such a big fuss for such a small matter. LOL. But hey, I'm addicted to blogging. I just GOT to write something.

Bored Bored Bored
Jem, I didn't kill my blog la. I WILL NEVER kill it.
It was there. I just changed the domain. LOL. And I created a new blog using the sarahkushairi domain.
And didn't you realise that I've put a link in the goodbye entry? It was there. Didn't you realise that you can click on the smiley and that it can bring you to this blog of which the domain had been changed? Try again. The blog's still there. You can click on my profile.
Well, what could I say. I've been a feeling a bit random and bored. My addiction towards blogging is killing me. And it shows that you're not good in finding clue, LOL. Kidding, kidding Jem. Jangan marah. You know that I'm sarcastic. I'm addicted to mysteries and crimes, LOL. And I'm watching 'Kindaichi' right now. Jun Matsumoto. HAZIE called him AJINOMOTO. Anyway, I digressed, haha.My intention was to create some sort of secret passage (?) to my real hidden (not really) blog.
And I wonder who is that person from Bandung, Indonesia who managed to figure out the hidden clue. Hoho.
Well, that's all. Toodles! :)

What I did during my childhood and SURVIVED...
An avid reader of 'Malory Towers' and 'St. Clare's' series, I once set up my room to match the settings in the books. Like, there's the rest room, there's the study room, cubicles, etc. And the victims of the games I planned were-- my dearest siblings. Syafiq, Syazwani and Danial. Oh, life was so good at that time.
I even tried to set up some mysteries. Like, I once had a 'baby doll' of which my aunt bought it for me when I was 6 or 7, I supposed. Due to the influence from some horror dramas and movies that I've watched ( X Files were my favourite), I changed the appearance of the 'baby doll' which my aunt bought by scrawling stuffs like scars using the marker pen. Make it look really untidy with it's smudged face and untidy blonde hair. We pretended that the doll is haunted and thus it must be banished. I put in in a box that serves as a coffin. Back then, there is a big shady mango tree at the side yard. And pandan leaves bushes(?) below it. In a rainy evening(seriously!), Syafiq and I brought the box that contains the baby doll and throw it into the bush. Go away! Don't even disturb us anymore! And later, I found my late grandma used a long stick to pick up the doll back from the bush. She scolded us for throwing that doll. And I decided to give the doll to my niece anyway( my cousin's daughter). Both the dolls (the one my parents bought for me and the 'haunted' doll) are still there at her house. And they are still in good condition (malu, malu). Anyway, at that age, dolls are not my stuffs anymore. I loved mysteries. Hahaha.
And there was the time where I inserted a plank through the small opening of the garden's table. (you can't visualise it, can't you?) And I filled a container full of pebbles and put it at the end of the table. The situation that I tend to create is about an explorer who had to crawl through a narrow hole or passage to retain the legendary jewels (the container of pebbles, LOL).
Another time was when I gained an inspiration to set up an opera house. I read Phantom of the Opera when I was nine. There are lots of tables in one unoccupied site of the house. I arranged the tables properly to create a hole in the middle of the stage (arranged tables). The hole served as the trapdoor, LOL.
Again, the victims of my imaginative thinking? My siblings.
I'm glad that I have lots of siblings. I can't imagine my life without them. Well at least, my childhood life. It would be freaking boring.
There was one time where Syafiq and I created papier mache draculas. We used the crayons to add some effects on the draculas. And we decided to hang both of them on the mango tree. To our surprise, there was a bat flying over us when we opened the door. We told this to mum and she said that we shouldn't create such 'deviant' stuffs, haha.
There was a small Rambutan tree in front of the house. Syafiq and I made our own not-so complete tree house. And we brought our stuffs there. Again, I got influenced by Enid Blyton's books.
I read a lot during the childhood days. There was a public library located near to our house at that time. Mum registered me and Syafiq as the members of the library. I was nine and Syafiq was seven. We would borrow books once in every two weeks and mum is ever so supportive to drive us to the library just to read and borrow books. Sometimes during weekends, she will drop both of us there for us to happily read and browse through books and she will come back after two hours to fetch us. You could say that my mum in a way, instilled and nurtured my reading habits. It is still my most favourite hobby, until now.
I had written lots of stories during primary school. My friends would read them and commented on them. Back then, I was obsessed with Chinese Dramas. Anyone remembered 'My Fair Princess'? Well, I was freaking obsessed with it that I and my best friends back then (Parvathee and Rachel) wrote fan fictions on 'My Fair Princess'. Yeah, 'Journey to the West', 'Movie Tycoon', 'The Good Old Days'. I've watched them all. Back then, Chinese dramas (especially TVB) are very popular. Until Korean and Japanese dramas stepped into the Malaysians' entertainment diets.
I was fascinated with the costumes worn by the characters in 'My Fair Princess' that I went designing them myself. Using the old baju kurung sekolah, handkerchief, scarf and some stuffs. Haha.
I once created my own doll house when I was nine. It is actually a book rack of which I put all the stuffs such as handmade paper and card furniture into it.
Syafiq was the first person to sew a dress for my barbie doll. Unbelievable, eh?? :P
My late grandma had sewn some other stuffs for the doll. Like, the pillow and bolster. I missed her so much. :(
I had 4 barbie dolls back then. The oldest one is a present from my aunt when I was 5. I named her Jessica. During primary school , I was a bit obsessed with barbie dolls that I used up all my money to buy them. 2nd barbie is Jennifer. 3rd Barbie is Sabrina and the 4th and last barbie doll is Vanessa. I have another plastic doll called Lola. Haha.
I had quite a collection of soft toys back then. WHERE ARE THEY NOW???
This entry might be a bit childish and girlish but hey, that's how I was back then. Childish, girlish, imaginative. All the qualities a child supposed to possess.
And once I stepped into secondary school, bye-bye childhood. A new life had begun. I had no time to invent stuffs and scenarios anymore. I was forced to read and studies for 10 subjects. I hate going to school. And as I was slowly developing into becoming a teenager, I had encountered with so many problems. I sometimes hated my life and was quite rebellious. Often, I kept on comparing my life with others. Now, it's Lizzie McGuire and 'That's So Raven' that I watched. I wanted to be like them and lead the live they have in the series. I was so irrational and immatured.
Thinking back, I guesss I was much a better person during childhood compared to the adolescent years.
But as soon as I stepped into Form 4. I have slowly become matured and independent. I analysed things critically before I acted on something. I'm not the judgmental and irrational Sarah in the adolescent and teenage years.
Well, that is me right now. Not childish nor rebellious. I'm matured! MUAHAHAHA (somehow). And I feel that I'm a better Sarah compared to the Sarah in her adolescent years.
I'm going to be nineteen this year. Oh man....
Curry...
My name in Malay:
Siti Sarah Syahirah
My name in Japanese:
Arikichiki Arikashikari Arifukarikishikari.
ARIENATSUNO!!! (Unbelievable)
Anyone wants KARI? (CURRY)
Insanity and Craziness, Post-Quiz Traumatic Experience...
I know it's very unlady-like of me to scream out loud either in the virtual world or in reality. Well yeah, I just did, OK! And goodness what perceptions do the sisters next door have about me. Oh well... I'm not lady-like after all. All my friends will laugh for sure.
" Sarah, a lady like person? WAKAKAKAKAKAKA!!!!"
I had a great time answering the quiz just now when suddenly, I was confused with the given answer in question number 10. The rest are OK. I'm just confused with QUESTION NUMBER TEN!!!!
I was contemplating on whether to choose WIZARD or DEVICE DRIVERS.
And off I went, choosing WIZARD, smiling all the way from class to room. Satisfied and half confident with the chosen answer.
I opened the door, still smiling...
I opened 'Computing Essentials 2008', still smiling.. and...
WHAT THE HECK??!!!!
The answer is the freaking DEVICE DRIVERS!!!! HOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHO
So that concludes, I know what I'm going to get for this quiz. Huhu, I want to get full marks laaaa.....
Never mind, let this be a lesson.
Lesson? Like don't go online when you're supposed to be studying for your quiz?
NO! This is a lesson that you will remember for your entire life. You WILL REMEMBER that freaking DEVICE DRIVERS need to be installed before some output devices can be used. The name DEVICE DRIVERS is SO OBVIOUS, right???
And that WIZARD guides you through the process of installing DEVICES. IT GUIDES YOU!!!!
Ok, I'm gonna study with all my might for tomorrow's exam.* My alter-ego, Sarah Sarcastic rolled her eyes and said cynically " As if!"
What the heck Sarah Sarcastic! I'll prove it to you! Haha.
What am I doing talking to myself. Well, feeling a bit loony.
My dad's gonna come to see me again! Hoho! He came last weekend. Forever a busy man. LOL
Quiz again! And new layout..
There's supposed to be no class tomorrow. But Mdm had decided to let us do the third computer quiz tomorrow morning. Pheww...
Ok, my computer quiz marks had deteriorated.
Quiz 1 : 24/25
Quiz 2: 23.5/25
WHAT?
I don't want to get 23/25 for tomorrow's quiz! NO!!!
But indeed, I'm still grateful. There's one guy in my class who got a mere 7.5/25.
By the way, my mum scolded me just now. She's sort of angry because I haven't called her for like, 5 days. Haha.
Oh yeah, and there's this dude from my Arabic class last semester. I got to know about his blog from Raja Syahmi.
And off I went commenting on his cbox.
Gosh, this guy was hyperventilating, bombarding me with questions like
" How did you manage to find my blog?"
" Not many people know about this,"
" You browsed into whose link list?"
Chill dude. I'm not going to post your 'private' pictures and your most 'innermost thoughts' into some other sites. :P Maybe he's not used to having 'strangers' viewing his blog.
It's a blog, dude. Anyone can unexpectedly stumbled upon your blog, or anyone's blog.
LOL.

New Project...
Thanks Bill Gates for creating Windows Media Player! Hahahaha *Get a clue*
He did, right?
Nak pergi!
One of the early signs of an internet addict...
Tuesday, 14 April 2009
What happened during computer class...
Of course, got internet, apa lagi.. online la!
We opened madam's website and there's a cbox. Apa lagi, spam la!
15 users online.
Aishah enticed me into this, haha.
" Sarah, jom spam,"
" Hoho, okay,"
" Tapi jangan guna nama awak. Kita buat initial,"
" Ok,"
So, I am S and Aishah is a.
Spamming starts. And suddenly everyone in the class started chatting!
n: Zarif, belajar arr
a: s... takut la nanti quiz bio
S: Yo!
S: Relaxla A.
a: haha, kelakarla panggil s dengan a.. haha
a: takut gile..mdm zahalah yg aja sy bio tau..soalan die sgt2 tricky!!
nuura: quiz batal!!!!!
S: uhhmm...proper discussion, a
n: asal quiz bio plak? org tgh frust x dpt jwb quiz 2
nuura: yahooo
a: sape n nih??haha
Aishah asked me " Siapa N?"
I just said " Tak tau. Tak kisahla,"
S: frust pulak..

S: hai nuura! :-) THIS IS THE BIGGEST MISTAKE OF ALL!!! I'll explain it to you later, hoho.
a: bahaye la..x leh reveal name..haha
noname: sembang2 y bermanfaat pleeaassee!

bulan: eit, kne wtpe?
naktahu: d
n: bulan dok sebelah aku
bulan: ARI NI BEST MAEN BUNYI2
naktahu: tabes dah.
I know some of the people aje. The rest, not really sure. Are you aware that nuura never left a message in the cbox again ever since I said " Hai, Nuura! :)" to her?
Hoho, okay, revealing.
S is Sarah. a is Aishah. n is Nazim. z is Zharif (both of them were in my class last sem. And there are only 4 brothers in the class). alkf.. is Alkaff, but I called her Izzati. She's the class rep. We're supposed to give her the soft copy of our assignments,
I dunno who the heck is naktahu, bulan, noname(I guess it's Nuura), wait ah.. and nh.
Nuura is in fact...
A BOY!
Yup, I said " Hai Nuura! :)" and 'Nuura' never seemed to leave a single message afterwards, kan? Haha.
Itulah, siapa suruh guna nama Nuura? Ingatkan perempuan! Haish! Mana nak kenal semua nama budak perempuan dalam kelas tu? Dahlah ada budak AED dengan Engin. Mana nak kenal!
I was just being friendly of course. I thought Nuura is a girl.
Nuura is the short name of that boy. To make things worse, he's from DARUL QURAN! And Medcy's Dakwah and Tarbiyah's first year committee some more. I know la, since I'm from Lujnah 'Dakwah and Tarbiyah'. Haha. So imagine, a pious guy like him suddenly received a message " Hai Nuura! :)". How would he react? I rest my case as I couldn't stop laughing.
But seriously. Computer class was fun. And Madam is ever so sporting. I like her! Haha.
I'm bored. That's the reason I write this nonsense.
And yeah, I studied an EXTRA chapter, Chapter 5, 6 and 8. And the quiz's gonna come out from chapter 6 and 8 ONLY!
hoho.
Good work, Sarah. Good work..
Dah, pergi belajar!
What happened before computer class...
"Group 7, Please be prepared. Your 2nd Quiz is on Tuesday,"
WTH!!! Today is Monday! (referring to yesterday). OMG! OMG! OMG! I sent message to Aisyah and she freaked out too. Luckily I've studied before but this is such a surprising news!
And so, I burnt the midnight oil until 2 something I supposed. When I felt sleepy, I went to the water cooler and splashed my face with the icy cold water. Grr... COLD!
I slept anyway and after subuh prayer, I studied like crazy.
Then, Bio Lab class. As expected, some of us don't know. Even Amina, a foreigner + my bio lab partner+computer classmate don't know about it. And she has maths exam coming up.
We decided to meet Madam after class, asking her to postpone our quiz to tomorrow.
Me, Amina, Kak Hawa and Fathihah met madam in her room.
At first she agreed then suddenly she changed her mind and asked
" Is it necessary to read your book for quiz?"
All of us nodded our head vigorously " Yes, of course, madam!"
And she replied back " Then what's the point of having lectures?"
We were speechless for a moment and suddenly I had something to say
With my left hand raised in style and determination, I said it out loud and clear with an air of confidence "We need to strengthen our knowledge, madam," and everyone quickly agreed . Ya Ya ya.. Madam curved a small smile.
" Well, you have a point there. Ok, let's make it tomorrow,"
Hahahahaha. A simple sentence really. And it changed Madam's mind, LOL.
So, the quiz will be held tomorrow!
Am I supposed to be studying or something?

Old Love and an overly dramatic post
Enough about the memories. I'm getting teared up *drama queen*.
The bike has done a wonderful service. Like, this is the bike where I hit Danial on the head, LOL. Seriously. the scar's still there. My mum was freaking mad! I used this bike to go to kelas mengaji. The bike where Syafiq and Syazwani rode (If I'm not mistaken) and both of them fell into the drain, wakakakaka. The precious bike, la. Don't tell me you didn't know how it feels to have your own bike?
As I grew up, my dad bought us a new mountain bike. And this old bike was left forgotten, but we still brought it together with us whenever dad got transferred to somewhere else.
After ELEVEN years , my mum has made a decision. She told my maid
" I want you to throw the bike away!" Away! Away! Away! That word echoed inside my head.
WHAT?? That sentence struck me in the chest, feeling a throbbing indescribable pain. Hoho.
But of course, If I argued with my mum, she will say
" What are you going to do with it? There are too many bicycles here. It's a mess! And you're going to college anyway,"
Fine. She has a point there. Well, I just took this picture on the day it's going to be thrown away. Sad,sad. I hope some Indonesian guy took this bike out of the trash and mend it. It breaks my heart to see my beloved bicycle being crashed and sold into separate parts to the besi buruk dealer. Hoho.
That's all from me. You'll always be in my heart, dear bicycle.
My name! My name!
And when I asked her about the name 'Sarah' ,she admitted that she used my name as the main character for her story. She said she loves my name! OOOoooohhhh (perasan, perasan).
Anyway, her stories: (ermm, stories about me, the pretentious sarcastic :P)
Ethan and Sarah Chapter One
Ethan and Sarah Chapter Two
Ethan and Sarah Chapter Three
Ethan and Sarah Chapter Four
Anyway, I love your name too, Farah. Farah/Sarah is almost the same la. Haha.

I had an adventure, again!
(map of UIA PJ. You can estimate the distance that I have gone through. Click to enlarge)It's difficult to separate Sarah Kushairi with adventures/mishaps/incidents that happened in her daily life, huh? LOL.
Only just now, I had quite an adventure. Well, for me, that is.
1.
2.
3.
4. Computer -not yet, hohoho
5.
Of course, I don't want to wait until tomorrow to print out the assignment. I don't want to procrastinate! Firstly, I thought of printing it at somebody's room, who offered colour printing service at a very reasonable price of 50 cent! Unfortunately, as I made my way there, the room is dark, indicating that the occupants are away. Cannot procrastinate! My heart said. And so, about 10 something p.m just now, I put on my black jubah over my caftan and went down to the cyber cafe. I switched off the light, everything and I accidentally locked my door without taking the key with me! BLOODY!
Okay, relax Sarah. I quickly went to the C.C. Syuda was there. To my dissapointment, she said that there is no colour printing service in the C.C. Alamak. I went to the guard post of Mahallah Zainab Jahsy. Mak cik Guard was not there! Pergi merayau mana makcik guard ni???
I went to Mdm Asmeza's house. To my dissapointment (again), she said that she didn't hold the key. The key is with Miss Hartini! WHAT???!!! And she asked me to go to the Guard Post near CIMB to get the key. WTH, Next to ABC???
And so, I went there, together with a one ringgit note and my thumbdrive. I was wearing slippers at first and hastily changed to shoes. I walked down the stairs, passing through Busana, Administration Building and all the way through AMF Hall. It was a cold night and I shivered even when I wore 2 layers of clothes. Besides, CFS looks creepy at night.
TO MY DISMAY, Darling Pak Cik Guard was not there! Why pak cik guard likes to wander around huh? Isn't it someone's duty to sit quietly in the guard post??? I waited there for a couple of minutes. Sheesh.. Okay, never mind. I decided to go back to ZC to see whether Mak Cik Guard tersayang is there or not. And I have to climb up the stairs again! Ahh.. Mak Cik Guard tersayang still wasn't there!
I waited in the C.C with Syuda and told her about my 'adventures'. She said that the PLAZA C.C is open till midnight and is the ONLY C.C that has OpenOffice software. Okay fine. I went to the Plaza C.C. Got one guy in charge. Guess what, I only brought one ringgit note and the colour printing service is a bloody TWO RINGGIT!!!
Slightly abashed, I told that guy that I didn't bring enough money and I'll go back to get it. He just grinned sarcastically, WTH.
And off, from the Plaza, I had to climb 3 flights of stairs to get back to ZC C.C and borrowed money from Syuda. And went back to the Plaza again. I'm exhausted!
That was like, 8 times already- 4 times going up, 4 times going down. Midnight Marathon, LOL.
And on my way back to ZC, I've decided to try my luck to see whether the pakcik guard of ABC is there or not. But somehow, it doesn't make sense. Why would Mdm asked me to go and see the Pak Cik guard and ask for ZC's room key? I saw him all right, from a distance and I chased after the beloved pak cik guard, afraid that I'm never going to see him again (LOL).
I greeted the Pak Cik guard, gasping and telling him about my problem.
Just like what I had predicted. HE HAS NO BLOODY ZC'S KEY!!! Well, that's kind of obvious, right? What if the guys stole ZC's key from the guard post and intrude into the girl's hostel? That would have been surreal right?
And off, with a bloody sense of dissapointment and still a bit thrill for having to undergo these adventures, I went up the stairs to ZC (again). Mak cik guard is not there. I slipped my assignment under my room's door and waited downstairs. I walked to and fro around the guard post. My legs got really sore and I waited patiently at the cafe's chair, and at the stone chair in front of the office.
Feeling really tired, I went up to the TV area and I reckoned that I was going to spend the whole night waiting for Mak Cik Guard. Ummu approached me and I told her everything that happened. Both of us laughed. We even talked about Hana Yori Dango Final.
And suddenly, the greatest music I have ever heard
ding dong ding
" Perhatian kepada penghuni-penghuni level satu, bilik 111B, anda dikehendaki menutup aurat dengan sempurna kerana technician akan datang ke sana,"
Yes, dearest mak cik guard is in her office. Finally! I went there and asked for key. She looked mad. Mak cik guards are trained to make the student feel inferior towards them. Not me, though.
" Mak cik, saya nak kunci. Kunci tertinggal,"
" Jadi?" she asked like tak ada apa-apa yang terjadi.
" Kunci saya tertinggal dalam bilikla makcik! " and grinned.
" Asyik tertinggal aje!"
"Mak cik, ni baru first time la!!" (grinned)
" Budak-budak Aisyah tak tinggal pun,"
"Lah, sorrylah makcik!" I said and grinned.
" Nah, amik ni," she gave me the log book.
"Okay," I merrily said. (And grinned). Nak approach makcik guard ni kena sentiasa grin. Baru sejuk sikit hati diorang :P
" While writing my name, I babbled about how I got to go down to the ABC guard post, because Madam Asmeza told me to do so, bla-bla-bla.
and Makcik guard said " Kenapa tak mintak kat principal?"
" Madam takde kunci,"
"Macam mana pulak madam takde kunci? Dia sepatutnya kena pegang kunci office mahallah,"
" Dia bagi kunci kat Miss Hartini," I replied.
" Sepatutnya Mdm kena tolong student amik kunci. Budak ZC melampau sangat kot, asyik tertinggal kunci je,"
I just ignored her. Apa-apalah makcik.
And she saw me clutching my thumbdrive.
"Ni bawak apa ni?"
" Pendrive. Tadi saya nak pergi C.C nak print tapi tertinggal kunci," I grinned helplessly again.
And I saw the makcik's once stern feature slowly curved into a small smile.
"Ni, tak bawak apa-apa ni?"
" Huh? Bawak apa? Tak," I was confused with her question.
" Matric card?"
" Tak,"
" Handphone?"
"Tak," I said lamely.
"Habis tu kamu nak bagi apa kat mak cik? Nanti kamu bawak lari kunci," (she didn't exactly say this but those other students usually took a long time to return back the key to the office. And the mak cik guard had to make announcement, figuratively 'begging' them to return the keys back to her. Bloody those students!)
hek eleh makcik. Macam orang nak sangat.
" Okaylah, makcik amik ni," I put my thumbdrive on her table.
And she curved a small smile again.
" Cepat sikit!"
"Okay, terima kasih makcik!"
I went upstairs to my room, opened the door,
ARGHHH!!!!
I accidentally stepped on my assignment! I FORGOT that I slipped it through my door!
I quickly put my gigantic Campbell's Biology Book over it. Ok, it's ok now.
I went downstairs, gave back the key to her. FUHHH!!!
And I am typing this.
I once said to Syidah " Isn't it great if we experienced lots of adventures like what we saw on TV?"
Well, though it's not really an adventure to those who are reading this, it IS an adventure for me.
I'm looking forward for more adventures! Please!
Like, small crimes? And solving them? Kidnap case? Hoho, I got influenced by Matsumoto Jun's character in Kindaichi Shonen no Jikenbo.
Well, vowing not to procrastinate is really good. But to the extent of troubling yourself, it's not worth it. After all, 3 more days till the due date. Huhu.
That's all from me. I hope you enjoy my story.

Unfortunately the message is failed to be sent.NO!!! Several speculations (only one, LOL) arouse on my mind
" Mak lupa bayar bil phone ke?"
And I tried calling her. There's the dial tone. Relieved!
Maybe there's something wrong with the Celcom service at these hours of the night.
My mum called me afterwards. Saying that we should have at least 3 points
Yup, I'm getting cranky. I'm alone in the room so I can forever switching on the light without worrying whether I'm disturbing Syidah or not.
A sudden interest towards flip mobile phones suddenly developed within me. Hoho. Thanks to Hana Yori Dango. All of them are using flip phones!
I want a flip phone! Mengada-ngada pulak budak ni!
Oh yes, currently chatting with my roomie Syidah who is now residing comfortably in her house. Huhu.
That's all. Assalamualaikum.
MUET
But the track is quite fast and that's really dangerous, LOL. And of course, some of the unidentifiable accent that can get you confused.
I made one mistake just now.
The speaker said 'want'im' to succeed (want him to succeed) and I wrote 'wanted to succeed'. Hoho, freaky!
By the way, what am I doing at this time of the night (it's past midnight), practicising MUET?
Oh, kena practise MUET. Wait my mum will ask me about it and get mad if I told her I was watching video instead of studying (MUET included). NO!!! Oh yeah, tengoklah. Bahasa Melayu dengan English bercampur aduk. Manglish pulak tu! Macam mana ni??!!!
Secara tuntasnya (dunno what's the meaning), kena study MUET. Plus writing and speaking in proper English!
Wish me luck, ok?

Sleep Paralysis Part 2
Anyway, I've googled up about sleep paralysis again. True, having sleep paralysis makes me afraid to sleep at night and even take a short nap. I hope I'm not going to get insomnia. Nak kata tension, tension lah sangat. 2 subjek je pun waktu short sem.
Step1 Maintain healthy sleeping and eating habits. Get ample sleep and stick to a routine schedule. Limit intake of sugary foods, alcohol and caffeine.
Step2 Minimize stress and participate in exercise frequently. Stress seems to be a contributing factor to a rise in sleep paralysis incidents. Exercise alleviates stress and improves sleep quality.
Step3 Maintain a journal of your daily activities, diet and sleep schedule. Look for patterns, such as increased incidents of sleep paralysis on days you went to sleep late.
Step4 Sit up and look at a bright light for a few minutes if you find yourself experiencing sleep paralysis upon going to sleep.
Step5 Attempt to end sleep paralysis by moving smaller muscle groups, such as those in your face, fingers, toes or tongue.
Step6 Wake yourself up from sleep paralysis episodes by taking increasingly bigger breaths.
Step7 Consult with your doctor to determine if your sleep paralysis can be attributed to another sleep disorder, such as sleep apnea or narcolepsy. Participate in a sleep study if necessary.
Step8 Review side effects of current medications with your doctor or pharmacist. Some
medications increase sleep paralysis incidents.
Tomorrow!
1. Do laundry- again!
2. Print out my computer assignment! (I've finished doing just now! and the due date is on the 15th! Yippee!)
3. Totally complete and finish out my bio lab reports. Due date, Thursday next week! Hehe. Almost finish anyway. Need to discuss. I'm not going to procrastinate.
I will do all these in the morning and maybe till afternoon.
4. On the evening, I will read and reread 'Computing Essentials 2008', covering all chapters that are going to come out in mid sem. And studying for the second quiz too. Though madam didn't say when is the quiz and she haven't covered up the basic applications and specialized applications. I'm going to cover them up by myself! Except for the Computer Lab part. I'm not really good in Computer Lab, LOL. And must get FULL MARKS for the 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th quizzes! And must get the highest, AGAIN! Huhu.
5. Right now, watching the 'Love Contract' starring Ariel Lin and Mike He, who's damn hot! Hahaha.
6. Fizah came to my room just now and we sort of discussed about Bio Lab reports. She had intended to borrow my lab coat but she has forgotten it! Maybe we were too preoccupied with the reports, LOL. So she's coming to my room tomorrow. Hohoho.
7. Hazie's going back to Penang. Syidah too. Oh my goodness.
8. And my dad's going to come to KL because he has to attend a meeting (AGAIN!) there. So he'll visit me. Yippee! Hehe.
9. My mum constantly worried whether I have studied enough or what. I have finished reading two chapters of computer last night. Kind of burnt the midnight oil. And she's not really happy when she called me yesterday, when I told her I was watching video with Syidah. But mum (cue Andy's voice from Child's Play). I have nothing else to do. I've completed the bio lab reports that I've sent during the Bio Lab class this morning and I've continously reading the computer book and even started on the assignment. And madam haven't even given us the rubrics. Nothing else to do. It's better to watch video than to sleep all afternoon, right?
10. And that's when I've forgotten something. Computer, Bio Lab and MUET!!!!
Oh no! I must study for MUET! Huhu. Must get at least BAND 5! It will be quite embarrassing not to score in it as my mum teaches MUET and is also the examiner for that particular exam. Huhu.
11. Now, let's recap the tasks that I'm going to and HAVE TO do this weekend.
a) Laundry!- kerja paling bosan!
b) Print out computer assignment. But have to ask for onfirmation from Madam regarding the drop cap and bullet stuffs.
c) Complete the Bio Lab reports.
d) Cover up all the chapters in Computer that are going to come out for mid semester. And extra concentration on the topics that are going to come out in the 2nd quiz. Quizzed make up about 20% of the total marks. Can't afford to screw them up!
e) Study for MUET. Listening, Reading and Writing. Erkk. Speaking? Dear wall, could you be my faithful listener? :P
Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday. FOUR DAYS of no lectures, SARAH! DOn't tell me you can't accomplish all these stuffs?
11. I've found out something about sleep paralysis. Some said that it is a sign for cancer. Oh tidak! I hope not! Oh dear.
Anyway, UIA's wireless is pissing me off sometimes. I was so busy and preoccupied while typing this post (and the previous ones) and when I clicked on the 'publish post' button. LOW and BEHOLD!
NO SERVER!
Ahh, and the 'best' part is, the blogger didn't save the remaining of my post as there was no connection, right? Haha, GOOD!

First Bio Lab lesson..
Never mind, it's just a first class fter all, I hope I can get used to it.
Oh man, seriously. You have to be quick ad there's not much time left! Once you sit on the stool, relaxing for a moment and shaking your legs, that's it. You will be left out. EKKK..
And having good lab partner really helps a lot.
Miss my old friends! FIZAH!!! I want to have you as lab partner anytime you want! Syau too! Even Hazie! Siti! Sharifah! Fatihah! Ain! Azizah! Hoho, so many. MISS THEM!!! I really hope that we will be in the same group next semester! PLIZZ!!!
Anyway, the best part is that, Brother Mahathir will be teaching us! I can imagine the word envy written on my friends's faces once I told them about it. Wakakakaka.
Anyway, exhausting, seriously. For me, la. But it's pretty exciting, hahaha.
Okay, 4 Flat ok??
Gotta read the BIo Lab Manual, HOHOHOHO..
Adieu.

Stories from 129A
And thus, we(Syidah and I) had to refrain ourselves from looking at the outside world, cooping in our dark crib and and not breathing in so-called fresh air by not drawing open the curtain in the morning as of course, they could see us!
Anyway, life this week is quite a nuisance. Guess what? I've forgotten to bring several important things! Toothbrush and TOWEL! WTH?? Don't worry, yours truly has managed to buy the toothbrush from the ZC kiosk, which is located directly below our room. But towel? Well, she have to survive the whole freaking week by just using the GOOD MORNING towel she had found and bought from the same kiosk. WTH? And each time she takes a shower, her hair will be dripping wet as of course, the good morning towel has a low degree of absorption and couldn't possibly cover her whole hair.
Anyway, UIA had installed wireless. Bonus for residents of Block A is that, we can switch to whatever wireless connection available(e.g. TENDA, UM, UTM, hoho) rather than using the strictly monitored UIA community wireless. We can't even finish watching youtube! I've tried it before. After waiting for 15 freaking minutes, the video still hasn't finished loading. BAKA! Well, WTH. I should be thankful. And UIA's not providing wifi so that its students can watch youtube, right?
Currently in my reading list.
1. Erti Rindu Ini by Zara Juita. Hazie just borrowed it, LOL. So what? I do read Malay novels ok? Though the title is a bit cheesy.

I have 4 days free of lectures and only THREE days of lectures in a WEEK! Hoho. Isn't it great?? :) But of course. Must not waste the time by just sufing aimlessly in the internet realm. Must get 4 FLAT!!!
Playing.
1. The Sims. I love experimenting with the sims. To this date, I've created a very loving family consisting of Jun Matsumoto XD, Sarah Matsumoto( Tak boleh blah!) and our children ;P Adam Matsumoto who obtained A+ in his school grade and Shizuka Matsumoto, another brilliant child who obtained A in her school grade. Wakakaka.
And just created a new family. It is very chaotic. This is the story.
One guy and two ladies living under the same roof. So maybe I thought of creating possible scenarios that could happen to them. Jeremy Couple, Christine Couple and Maria Couple. Jeremy and Christine are very good looking. There's a downside. He is a player. He loves Christine as much as he loves Maria, the ugliest woman I have ever created. Maria has no personalities at all. (Because I didn't use the personality points at all! Told you, I love experimenting :D ). Maria is very difficult to be approached and she finds insulting people is entertaining. But Jeremy persevere and being a player he is, he doesn't care whether Maria is ugly or not (No Offence to girls whose name is Maria out there). And tada. Maria fell in love with him. And when they got mushy with each other, Christine keeps on looking at both of them ( Jeremy and Maria) and got jealous. She then slapped Maria. Their relationship got worse by each moments and they have turned into enemies.
And so, I decided to build a wall around Maria (literally). And let her spends her life there, with mounting hopes that she will die soon. To my dismay, she didn't die. OMG! WTH? Is she a human or what?? (you will get what I mean if you played SIMS).
I got bored already and evicted the whole family. And moving them again into a new house. Jeremy and Christine further tighten their relationship with the arrival of a baby boy named Jeremy Jr. They couldn't take care of it responsibly and the woman form the Child Care whatever that is took the child away from them. WAKAKAKAKA. I built a swimming pool and enticed Maria to swim in it. As soon as she got herself in the pool. I sold the ladder thing ( the one on the pool) so that she can't get out of the pool! Hahaha. Sims can be so stupid. They can't get out of the swimming pool without the LADDER! WAKAKAKAKA. Then, she died of drowning and got a tomb there. I placed the tomb next to Christine and put a wall around her. I hope that Maria's spirit will be awaken and that she will haunt Christine. Huhuhuhu. But to no avail, her ghost didn't appear la! I got bored already and didn't save the game, WTH.
And that's the end of the stories from 129A. Stay tuned for more stories!
