In my last entry I vowed to update as much as I can but last I checked, that entry was dated almost 2 weeks ago.
Actually, I had foolishly cleared the browser settings on my BB.
If u haven't heard, I'm a little intimidated by technology & I have the tendency to do something much to be regretted later and that was definitely one of them (please don't get me started with the others).
But today, this thingamajig suddenly was lagging & I immediately thought 'what did I do wrong this time?'
Frustrated & angry at myself, I turned it off, turned it on again & put it away in my handbag.
Later when I checked,'voila!'
Everything was back to normal again.
My browser settings was restored.
YAY!
For a not so tech savvy person like myself, I came up with the conclusion that somehow the device updated its software by itself thus restoring the settings I foolishly deleted before.
Kudos for the techies in RIM!
Now I can surf the net & blog again.
:)

im back,baby!

Today is the 11th day of the new year & this would be my first entry of the year.
Besides not being able to go online as frequent as I used to, I'm ashamed to admit that I've lost interest in blogging lately.
I always thought that no one would notice my abscence from the blogosphere cause there are countless other interesting blogs waiting to be discovered every day.
Until today.
I was thinking out loud about what I should do tonight on my Facebook page & someone commented that I should update my blog.
I'm sure she was commenting as a matter of factly but still, I was grateful for the gesture.
I felt appreciated that someone did care & noticed that I haven't been blogging.
So here I am & I'd like to thank Fiza Faris for the wake up call.
I vow to update as much as I could including all the petty details about my life.
Ok,fine. Maybe just the important stuff that are worth sharing.
But the entries would be picture less cause I'll be updating from my BB so just bear with me k?
So see u in the next update! ;)

life's not all that bad :)

i blame fieza for the picture's bad quality. :p

after a series of unfortunate events happening in my life,
my broadband's faulty.
my handphone's barred.
my cat died.
my gold bracelet misplaced.
finally something good came out from all these.
i got lucky in a lucky draw last night.
(^_^)

in loving memory

"our cat is gone.."
"what do u mean gone?"
"he's dead. ur dad & i found him yesterday afternoon at our backyard.."

. . . . . . . . .

i was speechless.
i was crushed.
i didn't know what to say.
we only had him for a few months but it feels like we had him forever.
he was the latest addition to our family,
the apple of our eyes.
we were so used to having him around & now that he's gone i still feel like he's still here, maybe just playing outside the house.
but when night comes, it hit me that he's not with us anymore because his usual spot on the sofa is now empty without him curling comfortably on it.
i did notice that he wasn't himself these past few days but i thought it was just temporary & that he'd be back to his crazy self in no time.
but that time never came cause he's no longer here.
the moment mom delivered the news, i was instantly brought back to all the times we were together.
the time when he sneaked under the table & suddenly jumping and nibbling on our feet.
and the time when he started climbing on top of us, snuggling up close when we pulled up the blanket, getting ready for bed.
also when he purred on our faces when we sleep cause he had to relieve himself but we forgot to leave the door open for him.
he liked to sleep at odd places but he loved sleeping with us the most.
i miss his warmth & my nights would be lonely again without him.
he was a very special cat & no other cat could ever take his place in our hearts.
i m sure of that cause my dad buried him under his favorite tree, the tree he liked to climb onto & how i can see my mom's eyes watered whenever we talked about him.
i hope he will be happier where he is now with non stop supply of his favorite cat food.
i miss him so much already & i don't care that i m actually crying in public while typing this.

one qurban i could never forget

*dusting off debris & spiderwebs off blog*
im really sorry for not updating.
i never thought anyone would notice my abscense but somebody actually did.
(^_^)

firstly, i'd like to wish Selamat Hari Raya Aidil Adha to all Muslims.
speaking of qurban, every year i always had flashbacks to when i was in secondary school.
unabashed, i'd like to share what happened on that one fateful day 11 years ago.
our school participated in the qurban of a few cows & goats at our school mosque.
after school session ended, my friends and i stopped by to watch the whole thing in progress.
as soon as i reached there, i immediately spotted a white cow, already lying on the ground, barely breathing.
with blood dripping from the cut on its neck, the bovine looked directly at me with tears in its eyes.
as if begging for mercy.
it was heart wrenching & tears started streaming down my cheeks.
not wanting my friends to know, i retreated far from the crowd but one actually noticed & asked whether i was ok or not.
i wasn't ok & i was still crying when i reached my room.
later in the evening, we had the qurban meat for dinner but i didn't have my dinner that day.
i didn't have the heart to.
friends keep telling that i was just being silly & that the cow died for a good cause but i just couldn't shake the sight of it from my head.
not until now.
i think i should go for therapy.
(T_T)

books galore

source: google

i received these two books in the mail the other day.
and i only paid RM40 for them.
really, im serious.
i found i real great website for book lovers like myself & they sell pre loved books (but for me they look just like brand new) for a fraction of a price.
im now planning to purchase a few more books for my collection.
Sophie Kinsella's Shopaholic Series for starters.
interested?
don't take my word for it.
visit here.

footnote: my broadband is officially dead. i miss being online every day. :(

congratulations AMER & ETA

remember the post about me leaving to KL about two weeks back?
i actually went to Port Dickson to attend a wedding.
i was supposed to publish an entry about it once i got back home but my broadband started showing symptoms of terminal illness i had to put it to rest.
for almost a week now, i been carrying around my laptop to places with WIFI access just to get connected.
so forgive me for the short updates & lack thereof.
(cause when i do get online, i'd be spending most of my time taking care of my crops & animals in Farmville. im at level 32 now by the way. ;p )

without further a due,
here are the pics taken on that day.
i apologized for the pictures' poor quality.
nevertheless, do enjoy!

bride & groom with my sis

bride & groom with urs truly

sis, me & zahra who was obviously annoyed

sis with sis in law & zahra who was pretty much still annoyed

urs truly with sleeping baby emile

anyway, i had the perfect answer for the ever ending question, 'When's ur turn?'
actually, my bro answered it for me.
when asked, he promptly replied, 'Ayang is waiting for her blue-eyed knight in shining armour.'
not exactly in those words but u get my point.
he obviously knows my taste in men.
;p

happy birthday, dear!

it's like all my favourite guys are celebrating their birthdays this month.
with that, i wanna wish my dear friend, Hathsey,
HAPPY 26th BIRTHDAY!
can't wait for December to come cause he'll be home for Christmas.
i'll be counting the days.
(^_^)

happy birthday, bro!

before the day ends, i'd like to wish my dearest brother, Azahar,
HAPPY 36th BIRTHDAY!
as he said, age is just a number & he's damn right cause to me he doesn't look his age at all but younger.
;)

..and im leaving on a jetplane

i'll be leaving for KL in a few hours but i'm still thinking about what to pack.
for those close to me knows that this is a common sight, my love for last minute preparation for everything!
it's true when they say old habits die hard.
an interesting thing happened just now (and i find it funny), while loading our stuff into our overstuffed luggage, my sis & mum suddenly got choked up & teary eyed.
thinking about our cat!
we had to let him stay at my aunt's cause we won't be around for 4 days.
my sis even had a little souvenir from him last night when she sent him there.
a deep, long scratch on her left arm.
pretty obvious he didn't want to stay.
so the two of them were talking about him & his antics which never failed to make us laugh.
i was excluded cause i wasn't that close to him, not because i m heartless ok?
i could be worse that's why i didn't allow myself to be attached in the first place.
cat story aside, i need to continue packing.
i'll be attending a wedding & majlis bercukur this weekend so i need to look my best cause i'll be on the watch for potential partners.
and i need to come up with a witty comeback for the usual 'when will be ur turn?' question.
:D
