Time : 1500hrs
Place : North-South highway. enroute KL

"Brake.. brake!"

"Accelerate."

"Steady.. maintain ur speed"

"hold the steering in 10-2 position. u're too relax"

"watch ur speed... maintain 110km..."

"u're going too fast"

That was my mom. I actually drove. frm tapah R&R to sg buloh R&R. pat on my back. w my mom beside me.

Mom, i thought u were sleepy. well, if it's me behind the wheel, the whole car would stay awake, n recite every prayers they remembered.

Syana is all u need.

letting of some steam

dis particular 'issue' w 'L' keeps swirling in my mind. i've poured out my heart, anger n frustration to eveyr othr person who wud agree w me. n yet im not satisfied. so wat's w dis 'issue' dat seems to affect me so much? if only i cud tell 'L' dis..

Don't do things that wud push (away) ppl who care abt u.

yes. there were some hints of care for him. bcos he meant a world to sum1 i knew. even when sum1 close told me once not to (gv a damn thought of him). but i wud avoid judging/disliking a person based on opinions which isnt mine.

but dis is what i got instead. lack of respect. n i get 2 c u othr side of u which i strongly wish i wudnt.. hilang my gd impression of u.

our opinons may differ. im settled w dat. n i wudnt waste my energy to shove my opinion down ur throat in order to change urs. y wud i?

maybe it's the angst inside u. the pressure of acting n being n 'adult' made u dat way. oh pls.. lk i eat lesser salt than u. mebe u want 2 be heard. so u tell the whole world wat u disagree. wat u think is 'sucks' .. oh n how u criticize them.. i pardon u on that. cos i was once lk u - foolish sceptic who thinks he/she is right w/o hvg empathy for others.

my oh my.

so, wat's the issue actually? (dat i took rather personally?) . let me quote him..

1. blah... u read/do those things to learn abt othr ppl'c culture?? mebe u adult are free to do those kind of things. but when im an adult.. i hv more serious things to think of lk - CARS! (ohh.. how matured ur answer is..)

2. ppl who b*og is attention seeker.. want cheap publicity.

3. u donno how average life is. u r rich (??? kaya budi bahasa kot yg die maksudkn.. mcm da kenal mesra nk pass dis kind of remark kn? ntah ape kena mengena b*og dgn rich (monetary or not) ), u hv time for all these.

4. i don need friend. i hv my family. (of course la kn..org bengap je x sayang family) i prefer to hv friends who is near.to hang out w.(haiz.. nasibla kau duduk kt pulau kecik.semua org keliling pinggang, sepelaung. cube la kena cmpk kt ulu ceruk rantau..mau nangis) kawan is lk perhiasan semata. they come n go. i HOPE that ur FRIENDS will turn out as what u want THEM to be. (aftr telling him dat thru b*og i managed to keep in touch w my close frends)

OMG. now, to think abt it.. he's not worth an entry on my blog!!

we certainly dont hv anything against those not in the same league as us. so why shud u??

suke.. marilah.. x suka pergi.. x ajak pn.. x paksa pn..

jgn asik benci2. nnti high-blood pressure ok dik?

Nieces

i've soft spots for little kids. even when i was very much younger, i would jump into any opportunity to baby sit my cousins esp the twins. they WERE adorable.. i repeat WERE!! now they're already in their teen n taller than me.) n when i hv my own little sis (who's 10 yrs younger than me... i did ask mak y the long gap frm 5 yrs to 10? mak simply said.. ntahla.. x menjadi.) .. i was the doting elder sister!! WAS! haha.. now im simply mean. ;) see.. i bonded well w babies..toddlers.. children.. but when they started to become teenager.. alamak..those mood and angst i cannot tahan la..

one thing abt little kids.. they r very inquisitive.. curious. my 5 yrs old niece (nasuha - my cousin's daughter.. she's not my niece then.. ermm.. anak pupu? haha..) is one. she asked a lot.. for every answer u gave.. she will gv u a new question based on dat.. so i always ended up playing dead w her or passed out or simply dozed off (dgn gaya kepala terhangguk-hangguk).. hehe..

but that wont stop her.

btw, she already has a boyfriend. (OMG)

w nurin.. (ahhh.. dis one is adorable) w her big doe eyes.. cheeky smiles.. n arms n legs which are very much lk a round,firm jelly.. she's a very mischievous n kental babe.. bless her. our fav game wud be "who is scarier" hehe.. dulu2 its me who wud lipat my eyelid n gv her a scare.. or tarik klopak mata n expose mata putih. but its the other way round plak.. yg x bleh lupe.. die pn da pandai gak. tarik kelopak mata die n chased me while making (not so)scary noise... being a gd aunt, i wud play along la. as if im scared n ran for my life..

"arghh.. cik ana takut.. eii takut.. tolongggg tolongggg"

i cudnt resist frm not putting pic of her wearing mini tudung. n it was mine!! many2 many years ago.. tudung pegi taski.. eheh

p/s: pls click here. mslh teknikal i cudnt post nurin's pic.

masa kecik2 dulu. between me, my bro n sis.. im the one yg rambut x leh pjg. selalu kena ikat toncit depan. mcm pebble. calamine lotion teman setia. sbb selalu ruam kt dahi. dr ruam jd bisul. bile bisul da masak. .. siap la kena seksa...mak pegang kepala, baba pegang kaki, abg pegang tangan. sbb mak nk picit bisul.betul punye seksa

..of library n soto campur

i used to hv some sort of fear w libraries..

stern librarians.. overdue fines.. hushh.. keep quite.. ur not wearing a proper attire.. u cant bring this inside.. cynical smiles.. "baru 1st time dtg library ke?" .. "nk renew m'ship? tu kami da tmpl da direction.. nmpk tu.. haa.. ikut je anak panah tu yee".. humiliated.. lost in the library.. frustration..cud not find the book evn tho it's stated available in the OPAC.. found the book but the pages dat u want isnt there..torn.. the smell of aging paper.. too cold.. n the list goes on..

and that's the library dat i frequent.

suprisingly, none of that happened to me earlier today during my 1st visit to Lee Kong Chian Reference Library - Singapore National Library. i still hv those phobias.. so i asked napi to accompany me.. in case anything happen..xdela malu sorg2 kn? eheh.. n the buliding doesnt look lk a typical library.. u wud nvr know u're passing one



strategically located at victoria street beside bugis junticon..only 10 mins walk frm queen street bus station. which means

1. it wud only cost me rm1.80 frm larkin to go to the lib.45 mins without jam. imagine that! evn nk gi UM pn the lrt fare is much more than that.. ehehe
2. cud go shopping at bugis junction! hehe
3. ditto at tekka.. i cudnt resist the baking utensils that they hv ovr there.
4. 20mins mrt ride frm nek wan's at opera estate

first thing i did was asked them abt the procedure i shud take if i want to conduct my research there. they r more than helpful. evn asked if i need help to get started on my research..xie xie.. 2ndly.. i went to the library n info science section and was in great awe.. nvr in my life i see such huge collection of lib n info sc books n journals.. belek punye belek.. browse punye browse.. da nk dkt kol 2.. jd capai la ape yg dpt dulu.. perot pn da kelaparannn

pstttt... kite x sesat pn evntho the lib is HUGE!!! cume ask the direction to the photostate machine je..

aftr dat went to beach rd n FINALLYY i get to eat the soto!! i bought soto campur - ayam+babat+paru+hati.. wahaha.. punye la menikmati makanan.. smpai terabai napi kt seblah.. eheh.. langsung x bual pn.. sedapppppp!! SGD3.50 w begedil.. slalu kalo beli soto.. rencah2 die mcm x cukup.. kdg2 abis dulu dr nasi impit.. but dis one.. setiap suapan is a perfect bite.. ade nasi..ade taugeh..ade ayam/paru/babat/hati... licinnn.. nyam nyam

esk nk g lagi!! yeay! i mean to the lib.. tp nk gi mkn soto pn boleh jugak!

KNMI Climate Explorer: SYANA monthly sealevel pressure (32165.1)

haha.. itu mcm blood pressure aku adela.. it turns out dat in Syana City, there's a weather station. thus explaining the graph above..

how interesting.. when we told others that we're "busy".. we managed to do some time-wasting activities.. haha.. like i did.. i googled my nick (syana). and these are wat i found.. interesting n hillarious..

All our kittens at Syana are fully vaccinated, wormed and desexed before going to their new homes, unless they are going to a approved registered breeder. All our kittens are raised inside our home with lots of love and care. We also believe in giving our cats a good and varied diet and believe this is very important to sustain healthy breeding cats.

cat breeder? dat wud be a dream job of mine. ;)
