Kopitiam. Mamak.OldFriends.

My mum craved for kopitiam food today, so we went to OldTown White Coffee at Jusco.

And this time around, I brought my camera along and managed to take few photos some of its best delicacies.

That's meatball. Getting bigger day by day.

Chicken Ham sandwiched between 2 grilled, sweet buns with gooey, melting cheeseinside and kicking Iced White Coffee. Great for a hot day. Though, the coffee was a bit too bitter for my liking but as my mum said,

"It wouldn't be coffee if it's not bitter,"

True indeed.

Half boiled egg and again, Iced White Coffee. Man, I have no idea how they boiled the egg. It's perfecto! Eric and Joanna would surely drool, especially Eric. This one is for you man.

See, I live to eat.

Though of all the food we ordered, I forgot to take a photo of its best delicacy, the toasted brown bread with kaya and butter. Haihh...

Later, in the evening, I went to Deen, a mamak restoran to pi kena Teh Ais and of course, to catch up with old friends. Well, they all still the same to me, loud and crazy as usual ;p. Maybe, except Inu who I think can become the next Mak Andam Vogue. Your make-up was simple and beautifully done. No smudgy eyes, smeared lipstick like I always get whenever I apply cosmetics.

It was nice to reunite after a long time not seeing each other and I was superbly glad that finally someone noticed that I've slimmed down a bit!

From left : Nad, Intan, Sarah, Inu and moi.

That's Azri, the only thorn among roses. Anyway, thanks for the ride man, hope you will get well soon!

Oh, I miss the old days!

More portrait drawing

This is the first sketch using 2B pencil. Haven't done shading with charcoal yet.

Camne Huari? Ok x? Haha. I heard you got a self-portrait assignment. Cool.

By the way, that, is my friend who asked me a favour to sketch him. He said he looked fat in it. Talking about self-denial...

Forgive me, non?

First of all, please accept my apology for my weeks of disappearance from blogging.

I have loads of stories need to be told yet, living in a such isolated area, away from developement and modernisation has left me with no choice but to read books 24/7 . It's not just bad net connection over there but to be able to read newspaper is a miracle.

Haha, I'm indeed a woman of excuses.

Ok, let's start off with my birthday celebration.

I have to say, I was flattered with what my friends did for my birthday because basically, I
come from a family who doesn't really celebrate birthdays or needless to say birthday surprises.

Trust me, my previous birthdays with family were well-spent at Kedai Mamak, eating Kari Kepala Ikan with no cake whatsoever and presents were given prior to my exact birth date, though I'm grateful with that, at least, they know, it's my birthday.

Like what my dad always say, " Abah dulu sambut birthday takde kek pun, kek hanye untuk budak kecik je, gula banyak, nanti diabetes pulak,".

But of course, friends are always around to celebrate my birthday especially Sarah & her gang. They never failed me with surprises. :)

However, this year, I had 2 surprises from my friends at KTT, namely, Joanna, Lynthia, Yasmin, Hanisah and Junmei. They worked really hard to surprise me and their plan almost failed because of Eric The Big Mouth.

So, during the night of my birthday;

Scene and time: Almost midnight, at the apartmen, after Ladies Night, the rest were studying;

Joanna: Suraya, tomorrow is your birtday you know.

Lynthia and Yasmin were giggling if I'm not mistaken.

Suraya: Oh, yea, I know.

Joanna: What are you going to wear tomorrow?

Suraya: Baju kurung. (sms-ing, so absent-minded).

Joanna: But it's your birthday! Don't you want to wear something special?

Suraya: Oh yea worr, I go check my closet.

So, I went to my closet, flipping my garments one by one untill...

Suraya : E eh, whose sweater is this? Tell me what love is?? (The words printed on the sweater). You guys?!

I went out of the room with the sweater, suddenly,

SURPRISE!!!!!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!

Suraya: O oh....

I know, not so much of expression there because my mind suddenly went blank.

Later, when the feeling finally sank in, they sang me the birthday song and they had another surprise for me which almost failed by me.

Time: Not yet 12 but very close to 12a.m.

Scene: All back to studying.

Suraya: I'm going to pray now.

A sudden shocking look from Joanna. The rest I don't remember.

Suraya: What's with the face? Ok, maybe a bit later. Freaky...

Suddenly at 12 a.m. , Lynthia's phone ringing but she didnt answer it...

Suraya: OMG Lynthia, answer the damn phone!

Joanna, Lynthia and Yasmin : Suraya! Listen to Lynthia's phone!

Suraya: Ooooh, OMG....

It was a birthday song, very loud and squeky sang by Lynthia, Joanna, Yasmin, Hanisah and Junmei. Despite the off-pitched voices, I was touched by it, deeply. Hehe.

So, the other birthday surprise was done on the next day in the evening. They went to Giant when I was off to class and later, they knocked the apartment door with a surprise of KFC and a birthday cake! I mean, a real birthday cake with candles!! Thank you so much!

Not to forget, Syazana and Jixs who surprised me with pressies and of course, Farhana for bringing me out eating cakes at La Manila and last but not least, friends who wished me on the night of my birthday. And my classmates too for singing the birthday song. ;)

This one is from Syazana.

Had fun with Farhana at La Manila.

You can scroll to the previous post to see presents from my KTT friends. (Picture of the cake you can go to Little Black Book.blogspot.com). I want to put pics of us but unfortunately I didn't wear tudung that time.

And from Jixs, I got a friendship bracelet along with a card. Very nice indeed. I'll take a pic of it later.

And this one is from me to me,

Patent leather pumps, what do you think? ;p

Just My Luck

Let's start with the good news;

1. Good News

a) Suraya managed to submit her P.Msia individual assignment on 31st July. Meaning she'll get full mark for it.

b)She also managed to finish up the P.Msia group assignment which is to her, such a pain in the ass.

c) She had two birthday surprises from her 6 lovely friends (Joanna, Lynthia, Yasmin, Junmei and Hanisah) and she was terharu by it :)

d) Thanks to everyone for remembering her birthday.

2. Bad News

a) She broke a pipette on 31st July. Had to pay RM 30.

b) She screwed up during chemistry practical.

c) She's having exam in 1 week time.

Though,

The worst of all,

d)Her wallet was STOLEN. =.=

* * *

Anyway, thanks for the lovely handwritten card,


And the contents inside it,

And not to forget, the pressie, the cake, KFC and the song!!! I will never forget that moment in my entire life. Maybe without all this from them, my week would have been a complete hell.

Thx a lot you guys. :)

Salam Rantau dari KTT

I'm still alive, well and fine there.

So far, no fire breakouts, no short circuits or explosions at KTT like I expected.

The only harm the place can bring are dust particles, foodsick and extreme boredom in the weekend. Therefore, due to high demands from KTT-ians, KTT has ventured into another field besides education, that is transportation.

KTT, unofficially, has added a new line of public transport in Malaysia, specifically in Bandar Salak Tinggi, that is RapidKTT in which vans and a bus are used to transport students to KTM, Pasar Malam and Giant with a minimum charge of Rm0.50.

The learning ideology that we practice here is Kiasuism;

Kiasuism can be defined as an act of being inferior towards others that leads a person to work/study harder in order to be at the same level of achievement or more than others.

Certainly, this ideology has made the Library full with students 24/7 and of course, has made Uncle Beh and UncleBeh Corporation richer than ever. It's a no surprise if he came to KTT next year driving a Porsche, though with an extended trunk to fill more photocopy books.

During the peak of boredom,

Students prefer to jog/walk/crawl up the hill and watch the sunset/airplanes/cars/KLIA tower/bush. Some even prefer to throw stones as far as they could as an act of escapism/emotional therapy or sit at one particular big stone overlooking the sunset and let the jiwang feeling sinks in.

However some, prefer to camwhore;

The Camwhorers

The Queen Of Extreme Pose

The Girl who likes Hawaiian shorts

"YATTA!!"

The Consequence Of Unable To Express Jiwangism

Trying hard to look Jiwang but to no avail....=.=

Searching for the lost soul

Searching for satisfaction

P.S. I've edited this post since Joanna couldn't stand those unforgivable spelling errors. Right, Jojo? ;p

KTT In Weekends

So, here I am, 1 o'clock in the morning, in my room at KTT, feeling a little bit homesick.

I didn't go home this weekend because I had replacement class yesterday from morning till evening. Lucky for Lynthia and Yasmin, they finished at 12 p.m.!! So Yasmin went home, leaving me alone, roommate-less (But I still have two other housemates ya! So,basically I'm not in the Catlady phase).

Even for tomorrow, it is not surprising if I'm alone because Joanna and Lynthia have their religious ritual ceremony to attend. However, I should take this as an advantage to cry without actually being laughed at because I really can't hold back my tears whenever I watch the heart-touching Japanese drama, 1 Litre Of Tears.

KTT so far is OK. It's undeniable today I felt a little bit emo but I think I wasn't the only one since I caught someone sobbing too because of that Japanese drama. I wonder who is that? hehe.

Actually, I wanted to put more pictures but my brother, as usual, always forgets stuff and of all things, yesterday, he forgot to bring the bluetooth USB. So, I can't transfer pictures to my laptop. Though,I'll find another way to transfer it tomorrow.

P.S. I know my post is a bit dry. Maybe it will be more entertaining when I put photos later. Till then, goodnight!

KTT?

I'm too tired to write anything so let's just see photos. One thing for sure, Ktt is not as bad as I expected. It's ok actually. Hehe.

<---Ktt at night. The Ramlee Special Burger is very delicious. Even the food is actually edible, doesn't poison you and for sure, doesn't kill you. And the food is actually quite cheap.

<-------Our apartmen. It's on the third floor, tangga 2. So tired wey to climb those stairs but we're lucky because the apartmen is still in a good condition.

<-----The living room.

<---- Lynthia and Yasmin. My housemates. One likes to pheewit at strangers regardless of what gender from the balcony and the other one is a big fan of Nutella.

<----Me, who likes money and Jo who likes...iron? (Iron is her best friend since she irons things every night). After 5 days being her housemate, now I know Jo doesnt like anything wet or she will iron it, including money.

<---- The People Of Begedil.

That's all so far. Got loads more pics but too lazy to load. Till then, Ciao!

P.S. Fateha, my college is called Kolej Teknoloji Timur, am doing a-level there for Dentistry in India.. hehe. What about you? which college you going?

P.S.S. Here's the picture of my room.

<----Really need bedside table.
