bak CD Siti Nurhaliza 'Dari KL ke KL ke KL'
Salam dari Kota London.. biarpun esok kitaorg dah nak balik Cork... punyalah sejuk kat sini, ni yang buat aku menyinggah kat CC kejap sebab tak tahan sejuk kat luar... hmmm E time ni duk asyik dengar lecture kot, aku dari semalam duk merayau-rayau sorang-sorang kat KL ni. Dah tak tahu pi mana lagi dah... yang aku tahu naik turun 'tube' ngan muka seposen... pastu jalan2 then tak tahan sejuk masuk kedai.
Tak ada apa yang menarik kat sini cuma banyak sign 'SALE'... 'Further Reduction'... '70% Discount'... kat kedai-kedai...
Kitaorg sgt tak puas hati ngan hotel yg kitaorg duduk... nilah pasal last minute cari 'padan muka kitaorg gak' just main sebat je hari selasa lepas (rabu flight kitaorg ke London). Dalam internet bukan main lawa lagi gambar biliknya.... berkilat macam kereta micra aku (selepas dibasuhlah), pastu 50meter dari King Cross Tube Station...
Actualnya.... bilik giler babi punya buruk & kecil (gambar dia tunjuk tu mungkin 20thn lepas kot time baru2 dia buka hotel ni)... 50meter tu dia tertinggal '0' satu lagi... so 500meter, nasib baik 1 je '0' tertinggal kalu 2 ke 3 ke.... mahu beku dulu jalan baru sampai. Nak kata murah... tak gak duk taraf 2 bintang je dah kat 100pound pernight.
Ok fine kalau just 2perkara kat atas tu, sebab 2 bintang ni adalah sarapan pagi... for 1st day semalam kitaorg turun makan.... berharaplah yang best sikit... tup!tup! just 2kpg roti kosong ngan creaker je... makan jelah kitaorg sebab lapar kan... then pagi tadi spt dijangkalah menu yg sama, yg kitorg terkejut nya butter yg diorag sediakan dah bercampur ngan exp date 07Jan06.. dah start terfikirlak aku ngan benda lain.. cam roti... exp kot, tapi rasa tak sebab ok je rasa. pastu susu... ok kot sebab bau sedap je... creaker.... ni tak tahulah sebab takde tulis lak epx date kat atas kepingan creaker tu... kopi... hmmm fikirlah sendiri...
opsss... computer ni da keluar warning time out,... caussssss.....

dari kokdiang ke tralee.......
YES we when to tralee last week people , and yes we again had fun ( as usual). And again , THAT certain someone beat me to have the entry up first (%^&%&!). Initially wanted to blog at 1230 am today , but was too tired after the trip from tralee, so postponed it till this morning , konon-konon nak bangun awailah ( read: 645am) , apa harapan, bukak mata , tengok jam pukul 810am, when at 830am i’m surposed to be at the ophthalmology department CUH……pecah hati aku macam kene gilis tractor 50 tan.
picture : bukit nie syaz kata macam tetek .....yes shaz , betul macam tetek , tapi kecik jer, kene pakai push up bra
picture : lepas penat bawak kereta at TRalee General , tunggu ariri
picture: syaz kalau naik kereta mesti se!nyap jer, kalau tegur jer mesti kene marah , kalau tidak MABUK
So alkisahnyer berlarilah aku macam orang gila (yes people ORANG GILE); ker CUH tuh dengan baju serta gigi tak gosok, muka tak basuh, tahi mata berbukit-bukit, tahi idung berbondong-bondong , mandi pon tak, cume sempat sembur minyak wangi jer dua tiga picit and tabor minyak rambut sket jer untuk maintain hansem. And obviously, being the COMMOTION QUEEN I am , yours truly almost created scene kat WILTON roundabout on its most peak-est hour while trying to cross the road towards CUH, nasib baik tak kene langar lori sampah, kene hon jer ..….tu pon malu giler…sebab kereta-kereta kat belakang sume tengok . Mase kat outpatients otak aku siap melayang lagi terpikirkan nasib aku kalau aku kene langar dengan lori sampah tadi , tragis sangat kalau kene langar lori sampah, kalau lori biaser at least mulia-lah sikit ….. dahlah tak mandi, pakai seluar dalam semalam lak tuh- so tak macho and tak hansem ( maklumlah muka construction-sebab tak mandi)……. talk about being clutzy, baru arituh mengutuk Dr. Horgan, a certain SPR….padan muka hah…amik kau!!!!!!!.
picture : rumah on the way to tralee, very irish
Well anyway , the trip to tralee seemed forever, lame giler rasenyer nak sampai. The only plus point on that particular Saturday was the weather, which was brimming with life, cerah giler. The trip was fun and as usual we had our mobile kareoke session on the car. Its been a while since I last made my way to tralee. The view, I would have to say was superb as the weather was great . We arrived around 1 pm at Tralee General Hospital. The hospital was so hospital like ( memanglah-kan, name pon hospital), kampong giler!!!!!!
Picture : siti eagerly waiting for the mee ber sos, sampai tergigit jari
Sebelum sampai , banyak jugaklah plan yang nak dibuatnyer kat Tralee-kan (read : AQUADOME, WAYANG) tapi as usual E n Ariri’s ’ house was too comfy, so we literally spent the next whole 2 days IN the house watching 16 hours of a Korean movie, sang our hearts out to a Sudirman kareoke CD, watched a Siti Nurhaliza konsert , eat spaghetti like there was no tomorrow and fussed over a motion detector in the house-yes people, we actually spent about 30 minutes in the hallway checking out the accuracy and the sensitivity of the system ( an electronic engineer, one medical SHO, one surgical SHO, one obgyn SHo, and one totally clueless med student- the other med student was in the toilet-berak). We were also entertained by Comel , E’s cat who urinated in the middle of the dapur sebab takut ( hmmmm, tak taulah aku nak cakap macam mane).
PICTURE : paan trying to demonstrate how sensitive the motion detector was ( time spent on the tangga = 4 hours)
And ya ,not to forget my harrowing ordeal of dealing with Shaz’s and Siti’s calls to go jogging pagi-pagi buta on Sunday (ME of all people bangun on Sundays TO JOG –That’s like asking me to go play soccer in the evenings dengan Aberina and budak-budak 96 – SO Won’t happen….wekekekekekekeke ). For some reason, suara Siti ( as in Kathy Ibrahim, not Siti Nurhaliza ) is still like in my head. If she was trying to get me out of bed, YES did she succeed so well in doing it ( dah lame kepale aku tak kene cabut and kene campak dari bangunan setinggi 17 tingkat while at the sametime kene langgar dengan kereta emma )
picture: mosh tumbuh kat tepi couch , and siti and paan watching the korean movie
Well in anyways siti shaz, thanx anyway sebab ajak aku….banggalah jugakkan !!!!! Continue on Siti , nasib baik tak jatuh dalam tali air kat tralee n tidak buat scene lak….you go girl!!...skit skit lame lame jadi bukit!!!! To shaz and siti ….. let me cherish my still active metabolic system while its still functioning at full steam…wekekekeke ( ketawa evil ), nanti bila dah stop, aku join korang, jangan risau tak lame stoplah tuh ( approaching 25) .
In anyways, ape yang aku dengar hari Sunday , konon-kononyer emmarina nak balik awai lah kan , tapi ape harapanlahkan , semuanyer sebab cerita korea tuh , Syaznay ‘Keenyah’ Louis macam telekat kat couch biru E tengok cerita itu, MOSH pon tumbuh skali kat tepi couch tuh , macam telekat lak dua orang tuh. The kareoke session was also intresting this week , as for once it had substance. Kalau tidak melalak jer without any meaning. Aku macam almost burst into a hysterical laugh bile Paan and Mosh crooned ‘AKU PENGANGGUR’ by sudirman ( yes PEOPLE, sooooo-lah meaningful). Mosh sang the song so-lah bersemangat that Siti’s calls for Sushi from Yamamori and a Kitchen Aid macam di-gerhana-kan. Takpe, siti usaha-lagi , never give up!!!!!
Betul cakap paan , cepat jugak masa berlalu, kelip kelip mata jer 2 pompuan and 4 laki berkinje-kinje cam orang giler melompat-lompat kat depan rumah E at 1030pm on Sunday night . Konon-kononnyer nak buat adegan lompat-lompat and lari lari lah kan ….wekekekkeke…tapi best jugaklah….well-well okaylah aku rase sampai kat sini jer aku-nyer entry, maklumlah, entry yang ditunggu-tunggulah katekan …pressure aku dibuatnyer……….
well all and all , seronok gaklah, the whole thing was a laugh indeed............
a weekend in tralee
What can I say, I just had a great time over the weekend in tralee. A good entertainment , company and good foods (I must say) by excellent hosts – so E and ariri, looking forward to the next one hahahahaha. Despite the trip back and fro, my goodness, the road!!!! (When I thought it can’t be any worse) it all worth it at the end. My company I travelled with and moi reached tralee at noon, just perfect timing for lunch and since we never been to the house, ariri had to pick us up. Where else could be the meeting point but the hospital, besides that’s the only place that I know in tralee. Damn!!! the hospital’s admin might have known this meeting point business goin on under their noses and clever enough to charge anyone who uses the parking space. Whatever happens to generosity and selflessness in people these days?! Hell I will not pay for the parking so we just have to adapt and be a little Irish (lil bit more than usual) – park and wait on the double line…….shit I live here long enough they hardly noticed I’m foreign anymore and we in Kerry for god’s sake!!! Ariri came and we headed to his house and collecting asyik and co. on the way.
At the house, nice one by the way, vely flesh woo, nasi dagang was on the table. Perfect!!!! We jumped straight into the opportunity to stuff our stomachs. Boyoboy what a dish!! I’m not that familiar with this kinda meal as I’m from the beautiful and thriving state of Johor. However I managed to finish 3 plates at one seating, no wonder my weight keep going up, damn appetite!!!! I didn’t sit for just one round my friend. Good food.
That very night I thought we were going to the movies as I was saying the last time I ever went to the movies was, bila ek? Maybe 4 weeks ago, narnia and whatever with the lion and the thingy, lots of options of movies to see for late shows. Guess what, we didn’t go……..as usual and we ended up singing karaoke till maybe 1 or 2 am. How could I say no to karaoke, just not strong enough. Good laugh, enjoyed every second of it, we layan sudirman and m nasir songs, surprisingly I know quite a few of the talented late sudirman’s songs, just never realized it, simple words but meaningful. We had the most fun I guess when we sang hoore, hoore. Brought back memories when we were just a bunch of 7 or 8 years old back in the good ole 80’s. shit we’re old!! Before that we watched siti nurhaliza’s concert in royal albert hall in London, damn that girl can sing!!!!! But she kinda holding back during the show, well maybe it would be different if I was there to see the live performance, but have I said that girl can really sing!!!! And pretty too. I fell in love with one of her songs apparently it WAS a hit back home I don’t know a few years ago, entitled “percayalah”, good melody and the way she sang it, so easy and effortlessly but her voice just captivating….this song kept playing over and over and over and over again a few more times in my head since last night even as we speak. Haunted by the song but I don’t mind siti , for you whateva…………percayalah (hahahahaha) I mean it though
The next morning, or noon rather I woke up, after a very exhausting night. I was surprised that syaz, ct k and mosh actually went jogging, for 5 km!!! man they were really motivated, it was a good day anyway. Where was I? on the couch sleeping in my shirt and khaki’s pants which by the way torn and exposing my right butt, thank god I decided to where something underneath the pants hahahaha. Had fried rice for breakfast and from that point on, I didn’t think we ever stop eating since then. To make thing worse I mean the eating part, we got hooked up on this Korean siries - only you. It’s annoyingly addictive, it’s a love story between a chef and
restaurateur so it has lots of foods in it particularly pasta (Italian restaurant). Go figure, we had pasta for dinner and fried chicken ala KFC. (nice one ariri –mintak resepi kau). I don’t even remember how many times I had to go the little boy’s room to make space for other incoming batches of foods. We managed to see 9 out 16 cds, each runs for about 60 minutes on average, pretty good eh? Took a break for another session of talent show-off ie karaoke in between the cds then left for cork at 2300 hrs. but not before we went wild with taking our picture outside the house, what a commotion!!! Felt the weekend just swiftly flew right in front of us. Although we stayed indoor most of the time except for the athletic 3, I enjoyed it very much. Well it would be much better if leia and honza could make it, wish that she had. So I’m sure I will get so much of this “mak datuk panjangnyer” or “ dia tulis takder comma or full stop macam bila dia cakap” later, anyway I just like to thank the academy for…..berangan ler tu, seriously thanks ariri and E for the great weekend and guys yg datang, really good company, and leia, sure we’re gonna plenty more event like these in the future.

Releksla brader!...or sister
First of all kenapa ko tension sangat ni Lia releksla...I don't think in my post aku ade specifically blame sesape or ask for an explanation...And my intention is not to blame anyone....I was just bitching because I dont like things like this to happen and I dont want it to happen again. Aku baru nak melahirkan rasa tidak puas hati pon tak buleh ke? Kata blog ni buleh tulis ape2...Besides korang pun admit sendiri things like this selalu and aku slalu dengarla jugak although most of the time indirectly involved except this time jadi so takde orang nak bitch about it might be the time for someone to hightlight this problem. And to say that before ni ade org lambat la kensel la and use that as an excuse to do it again to me is not acceptable....I have to disagree with that although aku tau menda ni payah ni dibuang lagi2 org melayu....aku pun pernah buat tapi still one cannot make that as an excuse to do it again....
Besides yg patut tensionnya org2 yg datangla kot. Tak paham sekejap aku. Macam ni la try to put yourself in the shoes of the ppl who was there....so that anger tu aku letak kat dalam blog ni tu je....Im sure sesapa yg tak datang tu ade valid reasons (wallahua'lam). I just hope that this thing tak jadi lagi macam ni well kalau terjadi jugak jgnla dengan aku. So jgn tension2, marah2 (without no reason, macam aku ade reason takpe:P).
Well again this post bukan nak mengapi2kan ape yg terjadi semalam just hightlighting problem with our group : punctuality and reliability. Biasa2 pon mmg la takde ape menda2 ni tapi biasa2 ape pon kita buat setakat jumpa2 kat rumah, makan2....so lambat sejam? 2 jam? No big deal...but start from there pastu lambat jumpa kat coffee shop still no big deal sometimes unless time constraint.....Yesterday main bowling....kalau seronok main sorang2 dah lama aku main....yesterday's event kena ade org baru seronok....Im sure kalau ramai turnup mana2 satu dua yg tak datang tu will not be missed at all...tapi nak jadi cerita ramai plak tak datang...so jadila cerita...
Dahla aku harap takde org komen lagi pasal menda ni lepas ni....Hopefully tak jadi lagi...less likely kot nak jadi dah since Lia pon dah tak nak join dah....hehehehhehe...releksla Lia gurau aje...relekskan muscle leher ko tu jgn tegang sangat....tarik nafas....jumpa aku nanti jgnla buat tak tau aje atau jeling...aku report afiq kang aku hasut dia jgn pegi kat ko lagi baru tau...
pas ni aku taknak join ler apa2. not worth the abuse.
keyword - MISCOMMUNICATION!!!!!!!
btw, mas n syaz tak gi ke?

eventful night 2
'Eventful' Night
Main bola kalau berjanji pukul 10am pukul 11am barula tercegat 4-5 muka.Tapi nak elaborate pasal bola dalam blog ni aku sorang je kot main bola so tak relevant.Dan ini membawa kita ke peristiwa malam ni.
Mulanya Uncle ajak aku sefamily main bowling malam ni. Ramaila jugak diajak dengar katanya.Janji pukul 9.Aku pon mengenangkan lama tak bersosial and tgh cuti plak tu pon terujala nak join. Aku mulanya 8.15pm tu tido pasal penat. Terpaksala bangun 9pm pasal dah janji. Sampai2 takde org.Well org adela tapi bukan member2 yg diharapkan.Tunggula aku ni ngan family aku. Nasib baikla si Afiq ni dah tido yelah nak prepare datang so takla cranky sangat. Dah dekat 45 minit aku tunggu sempatla main menda2 kat situ, Afiq pon khusyuk main steering kereta sampai tak nak kena angkat barula nampak Paan. Lepas tu munculla Uncle and family. Lepas tu ade la kot awek2 Irish datang. So dari berapa ramai yg diajak dalam 5 adult 2 infants datang. Tolak 2 org nak jaga each baby tinggal 3. Aku datang tu nak main snooker sebenarnya so tolak Uncle tinggal la Paan sorang2 nak main bowling.
Kalau nak membebel nak marah aku rasa tak cukup kot blog ni so aku make it simple. Lain kali nak ajak aku or family aku something please jangan ajak lagi kalau tak serious. Teringin pon jangan pasal nanti it will remind me of tonight's event. Aku tak kisah tapi aku kesiankan org2 yg ade anak dan anak2 tersebut. Agee duduk pegang anak dia tgk aku main snooker ngan Uncle for 1 hour. Sri plak nasib baik la ade org ajak dia (and Paan) mungkinla atas rasa bersalah datang ke rumah diaorg for supper. Asalnya nak pegi Tribes tapi I dont know/dont want to know what happened. It is probably convenient utk org2 bujang just like that decide nak pegi ke tak nak pergi. Even kalau yg dah pergi kalau dia bujang he/she can go somewhere else just like that tak payah pikir pasal anak nak tido ke. So please la kalau nak buat plan ngan org2 yg ade family at least follow up and dont just assume org tak nak pergi. Busuk2 pon bagitaula takleh pergi.Tak guna la ade Nokia ke Samsung ke 3G ke kalau setakat nak menayang.
Remember what comes around goes around. Mungkin korang tak paham kenapa aku membebel tapi one day when it happens to u then you'll know. So sorryla kalau aku anti-social. Events like this yg buat aku lagi jadi anti-social.
isn't he a cutie!!!!!!

massimo chocolissimo latte and afiq the posser
so today, i went to 2 costa coffeehouses, yes i find it hard to believe myself, not sure if i should mention it at all but what the heck. one in blackpool and another in douglas. i think around 12 noon today i went to the former with E and the husband, Ariri. the plan was to meet the rest of the available "gangmembers," those who either unemployed, on holidays or student who cutting his or her classes at the named coffeeplace unfortunately there was a, god knows what it was, a contenna in the middle of the road en route to our destination, just happened when we passed through the road and we practically one of the few cars around at the time. apparently the 'thing' which was at least the size of my previous bedsit (should any of you remember) fell off the long trailer when it went through a rather sharp corner. in costa we managed to finish our massimo chocolissimo latte while waiting for those guys who suppose to be there maybe around 30 minutes after we arrived. then it all made sense, the traffic was so bad, as a result of that fallen 'thing' and they got hold up, damn! just before i was about to give out for keeping us waiting that long then came this annoyingly good excuse!!! sri came up with a better plan, "let's meet up at the other costa in douglas".
i got no objection besides i got enough time to squeeze this meeting in between my 'hectic' schedules. the moment i got to costa, there he was the little sweet devil "afiq" looking at me with the most adorable face, so cute i almost ate him!!!! you know what for some reasons he was in this posser mode and he actually really good at it i must say, then the photoshoot session commenced, here are some samples from his latest portfolio. (informed consent for displaying these precious pictuires obtained)
there are so many things to tell that happened in the past few weeks and i don't know where to begin. hope i still remember those precious moments when the time comes and i'm inspired to write as i'm not gifted to have the talent to do that unlike some people ( you better watch your back you leia the ranting rambler!!!!) oh well who cares nobody's gonna read this anyway. (then why do i bother writing i wonder?)

"You're just blowing my mind again"
Darn, i thought i would be the first of probably many many entries about this particular event, but Paan beat me to it...oh well.
So we went to the James Blunt gig. And what a show it was! He played in a cowshed, as he reminded us over and over again, acknowledged by the audience by various pitches of mooing sounds.
Before Mr.Blunt started his set, which was apparently the first night of his 9-months long world tour(!), his opening act was this Alanis-haired (of the Jagged Little Pill era) cutesy of a lass from Jersey, England. She was a cross between Tori Amos and Sarah McLachlan with some Jewel thrown in. Her songs were good, and she played her instruments well. But i thought her set was a bit too long.
Then we had to wait for the soundcheck for ages before JB took the stage. it was quite boring, especially when we were all quite hypoglycaemic from missing dinner. at one point we even thought the lighting guy who climbed all the way to the ceiling was JB (in fairness he had the same hairstyle and built).
The concert kicked off with Billy. He was pitch-perfect, and the band played awesome. And did he look hot! His set list consists of all the songs from Back to Bedlam, with You're Beautiful done as an encore together with a brilliantly covered Pixies' Where is My Mind. I liked the No Bravery performance the best. it was done with James on the piano, a single spotlight on him, with a projector of warzones in the background. it was a powerful performance. the crowd was properly hushed. He alsoplayed this new(?)song, i don't know the title but it has the phrase 'I really want you' repetitively in the chorus. this song is definitely a candidate to be a next big hit for JB.
It was indeed an amazing performance by Mr. Jmaes Blunt.

concert time!!!
went to james blunt concert in glens arena in millstreet, what a trip, thought we never gonna reach the venue, none of us knew where it was and the road man, more or less like the road to mersing from kota tinggi, terribly dark and it doesn't seem like there is a town somewhere at the other end of the road but finally we got there. not many people were there compared to the size of venue when we arrived but when the concert began it was full house. the verdict- brilliant show. the opening act i didn't quite get her name, was good, she's pretty as well. the voice and performance were brilliant, she is a rising star. performance by mr blunt himself, superb! such an effortlessly but amazing performance, he sounds better singing live than in the cd, never thought that was possible but indeed it was true for his case. the band was great the music played flawlessly . i enjoyed it very much, worthy all the cents spent. such a great singer and a natural in my opinion. apparently this was the first venue of his 2006 world tour concert and kicked start in cork? i wonder why of all the places. nevertheless it was such an awesome show and enjoyed every minute of it. i drove from limerick earlier this afternoon and felt really disinterested to go to the concert and leia was right i really had a great time tonight. in the car on the way home, we listened to "back to the bedlam" album but this time it sounds differently somehow as the live performance we saw earlier definitely had brought up james blunt from just a singer whose album i put on to kill time while in the car into an extremely talented performer whose future album i highly anticipated.
