~This week in review~

Ahhh...dissapointment...so sad cause adam didn't win...dunno why coz he was so awesome for the finale....haiz...I was soooo sure...I even got my cousins in America and Canada to vote and they were tuning in this Thursday...it was kinda like one of the best finale's I've ever seen on AI...can you imagine KISS was there...yeah lke Gene freakin Simmons and he's long tongue...Ace Frehley and he performed with them awesome...then he and Kris performed with Queen...and Adam totally owned but oklah he had the chops for that...he sounds a lot like the late Freddy Mercury and I think would make an uber cool replacement!!!

Well I also liked kris performance with Keith Urban(yum!)...was nice to...but country is not really my genre and stuff...yeah most of the peeps I know wanted Kris to win...including my dad...guess Adam's shrieking doesn't please all parties ...oh well:(


I was just browsing through Perez...and I found this pic of Matilda Ledger and guess wat??...check this out Omg the resemblance is uncanny!!!









Heath Ledger is not dead ya'll:)

Oh yeah my dad suprised me with an unecessary new car today...well he actually traded the second hand wira for a Gen 2...which is in "Hibiscus Tea colour"...like what???...pink lah!!!

Here are some pics





the interior;)

kinda sporty but very powerful and liteweight...easy to handle...well that's all...and btw in advance ....I liked to wish my sweet Hannah "A happy Happy B'day"...see in advance so I'm the first to wish you although your b'day is next tues...sorry hun I can't make it cause my dad's b'day is on the 25th....but am confirmed to be comin' up to KL next weekend!!!

Finally something...

Hey all...sorry I never seem to be able to fill the blog with any stuff...not that I don't have anything I'm just lazy as usual....so since I'm sooo terribly bored today, I finally decided to get my lazy ass off the sofa and walk approximately 5 giant steps into the kitchen where the laptop is ( I know what your thinking not a good place for a laptop after my whole water incident) but my dad insists that it should be kept here for the convenience of others who wanna use MY broadband....so here I am giving' my phalanges due exercise...I wonder if I can still hold a pen straight?...geez



So well...firstly staying at home is not exactly easy peezy lemon squeezy...I gotta work as in do the dishes and other household chores...actually I don't mind it, just that currently there are three males(no offence) staying in the house so they leave a lot of mess around...and they hardly ever wash their dishes and stuff...well I'll xcuse my dad coz he's still not well...speaking of that...I am mostly helping my dad...and driving him around coz he's still too weak to drive and he had to get a couple of blood transfusions coz he's hemoglobin level s low...so I sometimes spend up to 6 hours in the hospital which is pretty cool but at times killer boring..honestly speaking I don't really like doctors..they're a little too stuck up and overrated...plus they charge too much for just consultations which really makes me wonder if they really love the profession or whether they're just in it for the money...I dunno bout local GP's...coz I was at the specialist centre so they were mostly specialists.....



Some of them are too greedy I think because they try to get as many patients as possible booked into one day that it's almost impossible to get through all of them...this doc told my dad to come at 8 in the morning and when we got there there were about another 20 odd patients waiting there turn...that they actually asked us to take a number!...like wtf?...then what's the main idea of making an appointment..I really felt bad for my dad...he was forced to get up early although he was really tired and he was scheduled for an endoscopy after the appointment so he had to starve from the day before...and by the time he got to us it was already 11...senseless??...don't they realize that they are treating the sick and not random people???....so while waiting I brought my dad for a walk around the hospital and went to check out my most fav place the NURSERY!!!....I love to see the newborns cause they're firstly so adorable and innocent some of them less than a couple of hours old...with no idea how shity, difficult and harsh the world is...I so envy them!



I have always wanted to get a job involving infants or little kids...so my options were to either be a kindie teacher, nurse or paediatrician...my dad disagreed with the first two...and he wanted me to be a doctor...I don't mind it but I dread the long hours and as I mentioned above I don't like em'...but I get to be around kiddies which I would love if I did specialize in paediatrics or maybe gynaecology anyway I applied to Manipal recently which makes sense coz the college is right in front of my house so I don't have to pay for lodging for the final three years...but for the first two years I'd be in India..at some place called Mangalore..now I don't know where that is but I guess it should be okay...it's only two years which is approximately the same amount of time I spent at Subang...at least I hope i done end up in anotha "my place " ...that would kill me seriously!!



So I got the interview letter last week which was a good thing coz the admin lady said that it meant that I was about 90% sure of getting a place but still needed the interview to confirm it though...and I was so sure that I was gonna screw it up because I'm not a good talker and I might reach a point where I might just run out of words and stare blankly at the interviewer which would be a total disaster...plus I am a total noob when it comes to interviews.....I was totally lucky that one of nigel's friend's mom was in charge of admissions and she gave me a couple of tips for the interview....basically I had to write an essay about myself in an hour...so I was thinking.....and realised that my life was pretty boring..coz i was not an athlete or scholar...plus I couldn't bullshit some random stuff caused if they asked me about it I wouldn't know what to say...so instead I rambled on and on about why i wanted to become a doctor...which turned out to be a good thing cause then they didn't have to ask me cause everything they needed to know was already in there....they asked pretty basic questions...about the family and what school I was from etc...etc..and a couple of questions based on what I wrote...


Then at the end one of em' sez "okay thank you Sonia...I can see you're very excited to go to India'...I was totally taken off guard and went..."ahhhh ya!"(not so enthusiastically...I mean after all it's India??) ...she smiled and said.."we'll send you the offer letter soon or I'll give you a call so you can come pick it up since you stay nearby".....me still in a daze answered.."yeah ahhh sure okay...thank you"..I dunno I must have said thank you 5 times!...and that was it...so I really am not sure what an "offer letter"..implies...I hope it's good! Oh well...whatever works for me am not picky:)


So yeah that's about all that's going on...I warned you that I was boring!!....and oh yeah I was listening to a little bit of Nirvana....in case you don't already know it's that 90's grunge band with Kurt Cobain..







and Dave Grohl who is now the front man of Foo fighters...with that famous song.."SMELLS LIKE TEEN SPIRIT"..ring a bell???...okie as you know Kurt blowed his head off years ago...okay that was a little harsh...I mean committed suicide because he was getting too famous...anyway we miss him dearly...but i just came across a little piece of him...he's daughter!!...and I can't believe how old she is!!! she's my bro's age!!..here are a few pics;)


as a baby with Kurt......








and her now on the cover of Harper's bazaar!!!























I'd say she got her looks from her dad and not from druggish looking mom courtney love (yishh!)...well okay she did clean up!

Whatever it is ...I can't believe she's cobain's little girl...that shows how fast time flies by...geez!




till the..TTFN:)

Footprints in the sand ;)





One night I had a dream
I dreamed i was walking along the beach
with the Lord and across the sky flashed
scenes from my life.For each scene I
noticed two sets of footprints in the sand;
one belonged to me and the other
to the Lord.

When the last scene of my life flashed
before me, I looked back at the
footprints in the sand.I noticed that
many times along the path of my life,
there was only one set of footprints.I
also noticed that it happened to me at the
very lowest and saddest times in my life.
This really bothered me and I questioned
the Lord about it.

"Lord,you said that once I decided to
follow you, you would walk with me all
the way, but I have noticed that during
the most troublesome times in my life
there is only one set of footprints.
I don't understand why in times when I
needed you most, you should leave me."

The Lord replied, "My precious precious
child, I love you and I would never,
never leave you during your times of
trial and suffering.

"When you saw only one set of footprints,
it was then that I carried you!:)

Okay so check this out...will you be reading my lame blog in 2016??..well that is if it still exists haha..it's seven years from now so I will try;)...apparently according to some psychic dude from India whose apparently very accurate..he said that I'll be married at 27 to an engineer or IT analyst(eeww!)...of the same race (aiyah!! nt mat salleh..*sigh*) and same religion (yay!)...apparently he'll be a really goody hubby...and we'll hve 4 kids and very high chance that 2 of em' will be twins!!...okay that's for personal life...oh yeah and that I'll be very close friends with my brother....He also when on to say that I'd probably be a doctor or someone on a management level with my own business???...and that I won't be studying till February 2010...which means I have a whole year break due to some minor distractions and I'll finish with my studies at 26 (then get married at 27?? whoa that's fast!) ...and I will be going abroad (yaya!)...to my dad's side country( he doesn't speak english well so I had some lingo problems)...so I asked where's that...and he said your dad's not malaysian rite...and I was like yeah...so he said you'll be going somewhere around there...so does that mean England?? London perhaps?...I dunno I don't really like Europe but hey whatever...cool huh...that's all he can see for my future...I dunno whether i should believe this guy but he has been accurate on previous occasions with other people...




Okay now...enough with this whole future stuff...lets talk bout present...hmmm let see..umm oh yeah my dad will be here in M'sia next week after over a month in London so I'm super excited to see him...it's the same feeling I get everytime I find out that he's coming back since I ws a kiddie...I'd get all excited cause I probably didn't see him for over half a year....he normally doesn't like us to pick him up at the airport...so I'll wait anxiously at the door the whole day till I here the taxi at the gate then I'd burst out the door to see him and carry the bags in....and my dad has certain signature perfume that he wears ever since I knew him...I have never met anyone else with the same scent so when he arrives the whole house will smell like him ( well he sorta baths himself in that perfume nt less than 10 sprays)...and also when he leaves the house will smell like that for a couple of days....then the whole house will be in a mess because he'll unload he's bag all over the living room which drives my mom up the wall...plus each of us will get a new bottle of perfume ( it's real cheap in Dubai where he stops over for a few hours)...so far I've got britney spears for like 3 years( nt typically my fav) in a row now and my mom gets the jennifer lopez one's ( which smell real good!)and Nigel gets some weird guy's perfume which he also uses unnecesarily so it finishes fast...and a giant bag of chocolates...and not those sucky M'sian type kit kat's with 90% sugar...these one's have more milk so they are so super creamy that they melt in your mouth!!! and we won't be in the house for too long when he's around so were always out by 4.00 p.m hunting for some kuih stuff somewhere ( you see I get my sweet tooth from daddy:)...ahh...just of the many things I'm looking forward to when he comes...





Oh yeah but since my dad is not feeling well I'm gonna fetch him from the airport this time which means that I may be making a trip to KL.....I might also go a day earlier cause believe it or not I haven't collected...whch should have been done on the 20th but we've been so busy so I had no time to actually go up and get it...and Nigel's 10 day holiday just started so he may be coming along...so yes I'll be going back to Subang but I don't really know whether I can stick around...hopefully yes...I miss the place and my friends very much!!! ( keep in mind it was home to me for like a year and a half...)..but now I'm at home bumming around...which is kinda getting very boring...to entertain myself...I've started a new cross-stitch project...I've just finished an angel one for my mom


...and have just started a picture of a giant fairy princess which is really large so I'll take a month or so to complete it...yeah...and I hve been totally overdosing myself with old music...just because it sounds way more solid than today's music and some indie...music by tis artist Kimya Dawson which is so funny..cause I like how it doesn't make sense...but i love rock more than anything so I've been listening to loads of music from the beatles revolver and Abbey road album which is totally superb!!!












...some of Mott the Hoople and I absolutely love their song " all the young dudes" very old school..






and Metallica (okay you may think that this band are the favourite of mat rempits and taxi drivers...bt really it so much more...the guitar and drums are awesome...check out the double pedals and wah-wah on this one! I would strongly recommend "the black album" and "master of puppets album"...I LOVE IT!!) and if you do listen you'll find that the bass in master of puppets is more stronger than that in the black album because the bassist Cliff burton (the best i've ever known) was killed in an accident and replaced by a mediocre Jason Newsted...





and oh speaking of them my bro and he's friend are super fans and he showed me these two videos of them which were super funny ( disregard the guitarist briefly humping the amp..check out what happens to the guitar!!!and the other one is where their own bassist forgets the lyrics and pisses off the vocalist..) and one of this guy (yes it's a guy not a gal:) who can play the lead guitar for their song fade to black very well...just tought i share it with you and oh yeah sorry I kinda shifted stories quite abruptly coz I'm too lazy to write too many entries..... till then TTFN;)

Mama told me there'll be days like these:$

Hello again...long time no blog..well actually malaslah hehe....things are nt looking very bright rite now..well firstly my dad's not well and has to undergo surgery for the removal of his stomach .I am very worried bout him but hey the one thing I know bout my dad is that he's a fighter and he has been through this before...so with God's help and constant prayer I know he'll get through this. My dad has opted not to have the surgery here but in London ...so he's there rite now and my mom will be leaving us tomorrow to be there with him:(..for a month which leaves me here alone with Nigel..I agreed to stay and look after my NASTY sibling for a month (oh wat joy!)..my mom's really worried bout him with his SPM comin up and all!...and plus we can't really afford 2 plane tickets to freakin London so it's best that my mom goes:)...

Seriously though I've come to appreciate all the things my mom has done to run the household coz trust me it ain't easy..I've got to get up early every morning to wake Nigel up...get down stairs make his breakfirst..give him his vitamins...send him off to school...then I have to decide what to cook for the day...which means I have to do the marketing (well actaully I'm gettin a lil' help from my mom's cuz in that department)..bt I have to decide how much and what to buy..veggies...chicken...fish....herbs...and I have to keep track of the grocery stuff that's finishing in the hse like eggs..milk...light soy sauce...dark soy sauce...blah blah blah ble blah blah...and then do the dishes...seperate the clothes for washing ...put em' to wash according to colour and type...dry em' fold em'( and mind you cleanaholic nigel goes through 3 pairs a day nt including school uniorm which has to be hand-washed and the clothes he wears to tuition...that's about 5 classes a week!)...then when he gets back make sure he eats his food and STUDIES!!!( I have to practically force him becouse he still thinks he's gonna be a rockstar kick ass guitarist someday so yeah..I DON'T NEED TO STUDY COZ I BET SLASH IS STUPID!...ahhh plz!!)...and then make sure he gets to bed early set his alarm clock ( although it's no use I still have to wake him up!)..and start all over the next day!...Okayyy now that I think bout it that's a lot of shizzz!

If that was not bad enough my stupid tooth started to ache...(okay well actually it's my fault I should have gone to the dentist months ago but didn't give a rat's ass)...well it all happened last year...you know the saying "an apple a day keeps the docter away!" well bullshit!...I bit into a freakin apple and it chipped my tooth...but it did't hurt so I didn't care...as months when on I think the hole got a bigger nad bigger until finally yesterday it literally STRUCK A NERVE....the pain was excrutiating!!! like somebody taking a knife and stabbing it through you gums!!...this time I absolutely had to check in with the doc!...my appointment was at 10 that's what the grumpy receptionist VERA DE SEQUIERA told me..( yeah i remembered her name coz she was my mom's old schoolmate who was shitty then as she is now!)...I had to wait a whole freakin hour before it was actually my turn to go!!! but somehow I was not scared at all although the sound of the drill echoed in my ear..I guess it was the amount of practice I had since primary always having to get my holes filled whenever those BRUTAL dentist paid a surprise visit in school...they would drill right to my gums!! (it feels like you're being given an electric shock everytime they do it!) but this was private so I reckon itcouldn't be that bad...

So when I finally got in and I should say that his room was astonishingly clean...so sanitised not a speck of dirt in sight...I even had to remove my shoes before getting in...and there it was the CHAIR!!!....bt an upgrade from the usual dentist chairs it was auto...felt like a massage chair...totally comfy!...I remember in school the dentist chair collapsed when one of the girls got on it haha!...and out of no where I heard a kind voice say "Good Morning Sonia are you scared??" and I was like "Nope!:)"...Dr. Nagen had that surgical mask on so I couldn't really make out his face...bt from what I could see it really resembled OBAMA haha...yeah no kidding!...unlike the other docs who dived right into my mouth he actually asked me what happened...so I explained and he laughed!!!(prob coz he thought it sounded too far-fetched)...so he put a lil' medicine to numb the area and took a look see...he sighed and said.."okay here's the thing..from what I see it's pretty deep so I'll giv you an injection to see whether it has reached your nerves but there is a good chance that it has..if not I'll just fill it up but if it has...."I interupted and said.." you'll extract it??"..then he clamly said " No, no...dear..we'll have to do a ROOT CANAL! because you're still young and that's a very important tooth!"...I gasped in horror!!

So unfortnately it turned out that yes I had to do a root canal!!...this I did not like because
#1: I heard it's very painful!

#2: It costs a bomb and all because of a apple...shizz!

anyway I agreed and the cost..well RM480!!...I paid for it though cause I didn't wanna trouble the folks...and so part 1 of 3 started today!..dude it felt like major surgery...there were like 4 helpers around him....one doing the suctioning and the others passing him tools..and VERA came along to watch coz she was such a kepoh and I could see her from the reflection making all sorts of faces as he drilled into my tooth...ughh what a wimp!...so first he said "I'm gonna give you an injection through the nerves to numb the area and it's gonna be painful but try not to move!"..and I was like "Okie"...bt I swear he was so fast I didn't feel a thing! he kept asking me..."does it hurt?...if it does just raise your hand"...but I seriously felt nothing and the whole thing went smoothly no PAIN at all!!...and before I knew it he was like okay you're done!...but he
did tell me I had to come back next week and the week after to follow up but the worst was over!...THANK GOD!! but really I was impressed...he gave me a couple of antibiotics and pain meds and that's it...I no longer fear the dentist!!;)..

So that was my day so far...nt looking forward to tomorrow coz i gotta send my mommy off...gonna miss her very much...one month is a long time...but I think Nigel is most sad...he doesn't wanna even talk bout it...guess coz he has never left my mom's side from the day he was born...poor him......well that's all for now...oh yeah and tomorrow is ash wednesday for us Catholics which starts the fasting season...so I think I'm gonna cut meat out of my died and go veggie...maybe we'll see gotta make some sacrifices;)...till then TTFN...

  • I'm ashamed of some of my family members attitudes ( I will not mention who) towards people less fortunate than themselves...labelling them as "survivors". This went against every thing I stand for and believe in!! I honestly thought that people like them only existed as bad examples in moral books and nothing more! Apparently not!
  • I can't sleep without a bolster and still sleep on my tummy...just like I did when I was a baby!
  • Most people do not believe that I'm the kinda girl who listens to heavy metal music as well as music from the 70's and 80's. I prefer them to most of today's musics genres...
  • When I was 10 I took a puff of my aunt's half lit cigarette bud and decided never to go down that path ever again...

  • I find it very interesting to argue with atheist's because i like to see their reactions to death...they say they will cease to exist, so I say.."wait doesn't that scare you?"and they go all numb!
  • People find it very hard to believe that my dad works overseas and only visits twice a year!! but I never felt it because it has been this way ever since I was born!!
  • I have a car but have not actually driven it out anywhere although I have had my driving licence for over a year now because my mom worries that something will happen to me!
