Baboon

I haven't posted anything for quite some time now. I think it's about time I do it since I need to vent out my anger.

I think you're a baboon. Why? Because you can eat with your hands, yes. You can also pick your nose and walk upright. Sometimes you have your common sense. Sometimes however, you are unable to use you brain to the max which would menyusahkan other people.

I couldn't care less who you are. I make sure I don't trouble others. You on the other hand, would make sure you'd be a nuisance.

I don't know if you've noticed this but people don't like you. Don't think for a second you're better than everyone else just because you can kiss ass and kissing ass goes against all the principles I have in my life. Do you still remember when a particular person commented that I can replace you? You do? Good. Keep that in mind.

If I go down because of this stupid thing, you're coming with me. I love being even.

Getting Too Comfortable

When we're in a relationship, sometimes we don't realise we often get too comfortable. Don't get me wrong. Getting comfortable is not necessarily a bad thing. It's getting TOO uncomfortable that you have to be worried about.

I ran across this interesting and helpful article that might help those who feel that their partner might have stepped into their dark, comfort zone.

How To Make A Relationship Work

There are some points which I find interesting:

• The truth is that relationships are like bank accounts ... if you persistently draw out more than you put in your bank account will soon be empty.
• Too many people feel taken for granted, abused or neglected by their partner but do not speak up for fear of losing the relationship. Consequently resentment builds up and festers for years until they eventually explode because they cannot take it anymore.
•  Married couples who have been together for years understand the importance of togetherness. Your partner should not just be the person you go to bed with ... you certainly need to make time to hang out with the person you love.

I guess my advice is

1.  Talk to your partner and if you're the one who has to listen, listen well. Cause it helps to know you actually listen and are trying to understand us.
2. Please just don't take your significant other for granted. It doesn't matter if you are just into a relationship or almost nearing your wedding date or have been married for 38 years. It's never good to feel forgotten. Make an effort to give more than just some promises you made at the beginning of the relationship.

The end

What happens when it reaches the end of the semester. Another half an hour and I'm out. Tak nak buat revision lantak.

Riddle of the day

Is this a piece of chicken or a chick? Answer: a freakin chick.

Nur "English Teacher" Farhana at your service

I am absolutely in LOVE with being a teacher. Why? Cause you have something new everyday to laugh at. Or should I say 'laught'?

It's funny when 'laughed' becomes 'laught'. It's funny when you have to bark and meow to explain to your student what a dog and a cat is. It's funny when they nod their heads enthusiastically when you asked them if they understood only to get the wrongly-done assignments. And it's also funny when they have the quizzical look when you asked them 'Did you do this yourself or did you copy it from the internet?' and to look at their friends for some help, and only after a very nice friend would translate 'Kau buat sendiri ke kau amik daripada internet?' would they answer 'Eh tak lah Miss. Buat sendiri.'

But it's satisfying when they would do their very best to present in English and to memorize the notes just so they get the language correct. And when they would come and see you 3 times a week to show you their work - just to make sure they did it correctly. And when they could answer the final exam without saying 'I don't remember this lesson. Are you sure you taught us this?' And it's even more satisfying when a student would come up to you saying 'Thank you for being very patient with me. I know my English is not good. But you helped me.'

That is the pivotal moment of your life when you know for sure - I AM a teacher.

Budak Eksaited

A bit late but here are some photos I (sempat) snapped of him bukak FedExs packages untuk tengok Razer dia. Photos of the Razers themselves tak ada because we took them with his phone so dia boleh terus buh kat Facebook. Excited much? =D I'm so glad he likes it!!!

We bought them through Razerstore itself since all in all with the PayPal discount and the free shipping (But had to pay custom tax bila sampai Malaysia) still almost RM100 cheaper than buying in LowYat.

Yay to being a cheapskate!!!

Am I In Denial?

I don't know if anyone in my family has noticed this. But I just did. A couple of nights ago my great-grandmother passed away. When everything was done and it was time for the burial, I couldn't go. I mean - I was there when they carried her into the van, I was there to recite Al-Fatihah for each step taken, but I couldn't go with the rest of them afterwards.

And then only I realized. I didn't go either for my grandfather's burial. For Arwah Ibu. For my cousin. My grandfather from my late dad's side was cremated so I was OK with waiting with the family during the cremation.

I couldn't. It's not that I couldn't accept their deaths. But it's just that I know I'd be devastated and to show that utmost sadness to those who left is not good. So I guess, subconsciously, I chose not to go.

I know I have to be stronger than that but I think it'll take time. To admit that something is wrong with you is the first step, right? Guess I just need to go through some more steps for me to be OK with it.

Look who decided to join us for lunch!

Miss Ladybird! ... Or Mr. I'm not judgemental.

How cool is Muar?

Morbidly cool. B-)
And yes I'm posting photos from my phone cause I'm bored.

When you're bored in class...

Nampak tak kaki student? Ngeheh..

This looks familiar.. Hmm.. Where have I seen this before?

STEREO!!!
Cool huh?

What Would You Prefer?

I have been in and out of relationships for so many times before. I mean - you would guess I know how to handle myself in a serious commitment. I don't. I sometimes would still contemplate on even the simplest thing. Should I ask or not? Should we discuss about this or should I just shut up? 

Of course you would want your partner to talk to you when there's something that's bothering him/her. The question is, to what extent? Even if the extent itself is acceptable, what would you do if it's something recurring?

My advise is - ask them. Do they want you to talk to them about your worries? Even if it's something stupid? Whatever it is, you have to talk to each other. There's no point of you going around feeling depressed and unloved when you wouldn't even talk to your significant other. I'm not puting the blame on the men or the women. I'm merely stating that no matter how difficult it might seem, you have to open your mouth and share.

Everything is about give and take. You spend half a day window shopping online - he spends his playing WOW. You have a soft spot for shoes - he has a soft spot for his previous fling. You have a habit of tickling him until he merajuks - he snores. So basically, yeah, give and take. =D

Just make sure, whatever it is, you're in it for real. If your heart's not in it, you know there's always a choice.

Heartbroken

Last Friday someone broke into my house during working hours. When I got back from work, the grill was unlock, the doorknob was broken, my house was turned upside down, inside out, and of course, the Vivienne Tam HP Mini, my faithful Acer Aspire, the gold ring with russian diamond my mother bought for me when I was 16 and the flower platinum ring with one big mother of pearl in the middle of the flower that my grandmother gave to me when I was a baby. :'(

I wasn't angry, I was a bit scared and mostly heartbroken. To see your home being messed up like that and to be under the realisation that a stranger has walked all around your house and bedroom is just... heartbreaking.

But all is well now.

And on a lighter (much much lighter) side note, Sunday went very well, and I'm happy! =D

Lovely Lashes

I am obsessed with eye make-up. Extremely obsessed. As most of you know, I'm half Chinese. Among all those traits I inherited from my Chinese blood, -apart from the skin, shape of eyes and stinginess - I also got my Chinese lashes.

Now few years ago, some companies have started to create eyelash conditioners to enhance your eyelashes i.e, make them stronger, healthier, longer.

Last December I bought a lash conditioner called RevitaLash Eyelash Conditioner. Had to buy it online since I couldn't find it here. I have been using it for approximately a little bit over a month now and I have to say I'm impressed!

These are what I've discovered:

• My lashes are in fact stronger,
• They have grown AT LEAST half a centimeter,
• I don't have to use mascara primer to make sure my lashes are seen!
• My once non-existent lower lashes are out to see the world!

There are some things I (perhaps) have yet to see such as:

• The promise of darker lashes (I have blond tipped lashes, funny, I know).
• Thicker lashes (They are a bit thicker but not as much - or it could be because I've only been using it for a bit over a month.)

All in all, I have to say I'm amazed and I'd definitely buy it again once I've finished mine (6 months supply, 5 months to go).  I bought mine through Amazon (Here's the link - RevitaLash Eyelash Conditioner) and though I have to pay for the shipping, it cost me less than some of the websites who offer free shipping to Malaysia. It's a bit pricey (ranging from RM300 and above) but since it's for 6 months I think it's not so bad (about RM50 per month).

Can't wait to see the end result in 5 months time!

Mari Membaca

 Ada kalanya saya agak empty. But there are times I'd sit down and finish a book in a day. If saya ada duit, I'd buy this whole lot just so I'd be reading every day in a year! Heaven!!!

Amazon's Best Books of 2010

Real Human Hair Extensions!

I have 2 new sets (7 pieces each) of clip-on 100% real human hair extensions of really good quality for sale. I bought them online and I only wanted one set but the price is a bit cheaper if I buy in threes, thus, it results in me owning 3 sets of hair extensions. A bit bunguk, I know.

Each set contains: 

One-8" wide piece

Two-6" wide pieces

Two-4" wide pieces

Two-2" wide pieces

Each set is for the whole head. You can curl it, perm it, wash it like you do your hair. I trimmed mine to match my hair length.

Color : #2 Darkest Brown (Even if you have darker / lighter hair it works as highlights / lowlights. My real hair is darker but this color adds dimension to my hair).

Style: Straight

Length: 18" (About 3 inches from your waist)

Price: RM 180 (including postage!). I'll also include some extra clips if you accidentally broke some of yours (how you'd manage to do that, I simply can't imagine). ;)

New addition

Say hi to Muhammad Zaweer. He's a day old and weighs 2.5kg. I'm officially an aunt! Pastu aku tak mau balik tadi sebab nak bawak dia sekali tapi mama dia tak bagi. Hmmph! Kedekut. Nasib baik I'm going home again next week so tak lah kecik hati sangat.

You want to hate me?

Be my guest.

Or should I say, take a number. Cause I have hundreds waiting in line for that membership.

Seriously, I know I'm not that nice. But I would never hate a person. NEVER. I've always felt that hate is too strong untuk digunapakai secara berleluasa. Apparently, though, ramai orang benci kat saya.

So if you're one of that person, get in line ok? Let me print some more borang permohonan first.

Terms and Conditions:

1. You have a substantial reason i.e. I stole your boyfriend / I stole your stuff / I insulted or questioned your capabilities both directly and indirectly.
2. I openly say I hate you. Tom Cruise, if by any chance you're reading this, well then you may apply.
3. I have spoken to you in a rude manner. Thus, it goes without saying you have to be someone I have actually spoken to.
4. I was very insensitive towards you when you needed a friend.
5. I was selfish ALL THROUGH OUT our friendship / relationship / acquaintance.

If any or all of the 5 terms above apply to you, let me know. In case I haven't yet figure out you hate me. It's starting to get quite a handful keeping tracks of the names and reasons.

Never Say Never

If at the moment this photo was taken someone would say that one day we'd end up together, I'd laugh till my sides hurt.

Never say "Oh, he's just a friend!" or "No way I'd be with her. She's my friend!". Cause we both said that and look where we are now.

Got my eye on you

I'm currently obsessed w eyeshadows just like how my boyfriend is obsessed w Isaiah Mustafa and this is one of d examples of what I've been doing late at night.

Tuhan itu Maha Adil

I've always believed that when God takes something from you, He gives you something better in return. When I lost my father, I had 2 great father figures while growing up.

I wasn't blessed with the most responsible brother but he has his quirks and moments and we love him for that. The things is, tonight, I had a chat with my brother in law and we were talking about my choices in love, life and so on and when we ended it, it made me go all teary-eyed. I have two brothers. One who shares his quirkiness with me and one who takes care of me.

I love my family, with my caramel-filled-hard-candy mom, and my quirky-dyslexic brother, mature-funny brother-in-law, my all-proper sister and hopefully (Insyaallah) my crazy-sensible-practical-hardcore gamer future husband.

I Can't Either...
