Some bits of reminder

Hello.

To be honest, nowadays i am a boring person. I stay at home or go to the lab. I feel content when i go to the lab. I feel like i am relevant when i go there.

Then i saw all those stuff that i need to clean up and i avoided the lab after that. But i still go to the lab. I did my work and just avoid the cleaning activity.

I get easily bored nowadays. I watch a drama and some of them still haven't finish yet. I paid RM10 for a month of VIU subscription and the only thing that i actually watch from that is New Journey to the West 2 and 3.

Honestly the show is so brilliant and hilarious, i have to praise PD Na for being a genius in the variety world.

Anyway, i haven't finish most of the drama that i had started watching. the only one that i actually finish is Goblin. Which is so brilliant, my ears still want to hear some bits of its OST.

Liverpool not having a good start of the year too. And so my mood is down. I need them to win. Get themselves some good vibe and all things will be good. Currently, things just seem out of place. The players are so weak minded.

Oh. I'm getting fat. The boobs not getting bigger. But my thighs are bigger and uglier than ever. InsyaAllah i'll be going on a trip later on this July so i'm hoping that i'll be back to my normal weight when that time comes.

Another problem that is stressing me out right now is MyBrain15 haven't paid my March2016 study fee yet. And i just got a text that i need to pay them by this February. I went to UITM finance department and they said MyBrain15 have no money to pay the students right now. And i can't do anything about it. The staff there did say that i should sent an email to them so they can solve the problem. I did send the email but for days now, there is still no response.

So here i am, will advise you, take MyBrain15 if you want, but prepare some bits of money just to be sure that this problem will not occur.

Be grateful. Ta.

Happy Malaysia Day

AsSalam n hello.

Happy Malaysia Day.

A country where the corruption is everywhere and the people don't even notice that what they are doing is corruption. Life is good after all when doing bad things not even noticeable.

But still, without Sabah and Sarawak, we won't be as rich as today.

And without MO1, we won't get as many debt as today too.

Life has made mature adults become 'aku malas nak kisah' then 'what happened? Did something happened??'.

Maturity change you. Life change you. So many disappointment that you just have to enjoy life even for the littlest things. Like seeing a pokemon, you feel so excited catching a Zulbat when you already catch it zillions of times.

Freedom is so far away for me. Sometimes i regret why i didn't just work and have a less than RM2k salary instead of being a postgrad student where i only get allowance for 2 years only. But then again, what is life when you think that you expect yourself to not be a student after 2 years?

I am more mellow now. Maybe the 'i don't care attitude' makes me mellow. I try not to shout too much. I try not to be angry too much. I become more reasonable. And when this happened, i see things from a mellow perspective. You see how unreasonable a person is when she's angry. You see the cruelty, the rudeness, the selfishness a person can be.

Such is life. No freedom when you have no money,  no freedom when you are still dependent on others.

Happy Malaysia Day. Where the country only unite only during Olympics.

And also during holiday season.

Enjoy life. Ta.

Train to Busan

AsSalam and hello.

have you watched Train to Busan? the one that has that movie poster of hot Gong Yoo carrying a little girl with the lovable Jung Yumi behind him running with him from behind? and with some trains and explosions at the background? and if you notice, there might also be hundreds of zombies at the back.

yeah. this one.

oh there's also Sohee, Choi Wooshik and the brilliant Ma Dong Seok in the poster.

i'm not a fan of zombies. really. excluding the sequel of that Maze Runner movie, i kinda hate every zombie movies out there. the last one that i remember that i actually like is Night of the Living Dead, which is brilliant.

but this Train to Busan tho, might have top it. it was brilliant! it was thrilling! i knew i would like it, but i was actually avoiding it cos i don't like zombies who eat human flesh scenes. to be honest, i'm not a fan of horror movie or any ridiculous movies like Final Destination.

but if you're a Game of Thrones fan, those brutal scenes are nothing after all.

this movie, this Train to Busan movie is just different. it was like i was riding a roller coaster for 2 hours when i saw it. i couldn't keep quietly at my seat. my sister also didn't sit quietly cos both of us were just so nervous. i love that thrilling feeling. it was awesome.

Ma Dong Seok tried to punch a zombie, ooh, i even moved my body.

Gong Yoo tried to escape, ooh i made an escape move.

it was awesome. it was fantastic. 

it wasn't so much of the actors or the storyline that made me excited. it was the feeling that i got when i watched it. the actors are brilliant, every Korean movie fans know that. but the characters's desperation to survive is just so strong, you end up feeling intrigued by it.

and the sacrifice. wow the sacrifice. you see how much impact a person's kindness can do to a person. it was sweet, sad and wow.

i haven't had this kind of feeling when i see something. i think the last time i had this much impact might be after i watched The Princess Man. 

you have to thank Korean directors for knowing how to make a person absorbs in things.

Kamsahamnida.

all this for sexy legs

AsSalam and hello.

i have some little secret to tell.

i join London Weight Management.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA.

yeah. i really did. tbh, i kinda feel a bit regretful now cos its name has 'Weight Management' instead of Slimming stuff.

ah well.

i know you'll say "why Alia why?? you so thin. what else you need to change?"

tbh, i love my body curve. i have breasts, not too big, not too small. still some meat in it and i like my look when i have my shirt hugging my body. so really, i love it.

the thing is, i want a nice pair of legs. i love my legs. but if i have a chance to slim them like those model's, i'll take that chance.

this all started yesterday, after i did my progress monitoring presentation. i did ok. thanks to the panels who were very kind to help me not feeling bad. i was in a brilliant mood after that. the Liverpool 6-0 win over Villa also better my mood. i felt like nothing could change that mood.

the London stuff was just a trial actually. i answered a survey at Ensogo, and they gave a free-trial of that weight stuff. so i went. but hey, the consultant there was a bit demanding. and when she said i could use the student price for 10 sessions, i immediately took it.

ok ok. i did spend some time thinking. but only after 5 minutes. then i paid 3/4 of the full price.

ha ha.

like i said, nothing could change my mood. i was in the best feeling ever. and i have the money to spend it.

so the consultant got really happy that she finally had a new customer and so she took care of me. got some treatment done. tbh, i don't really care about the names of the treatment. i was just thinking "how will my legs look after this?"

still, most of the treatments kinda like 'steaming' me. literally. i got 'steamed'. literally. liquids went out of my body in non-sexual way.

thing is, i would like them to tell me the time spent for doing those treatments. i was in a happy mood. i had to lie down myself on a bed and wait for toxins to came out of my body for about 40minutes. i should have bring some books or anything that could make those stuff less boring.

the consultant was a bit sad when she asked me if i had a good time. i said "ok la".

then i realize that i never am satisfied with anything. i could have gone shopping but even if i buy anything, i still am not satisfied. the excitement is gone.

so i end up spending at this pricey stuff. ah well. better now than later. ha ha.

anyway, as this is a weight management thing, i forgot that i have to manage my weight including my food. or else, those liquid stuff gone out of my body treatment will become useless. so i'm having the first diet in my life. be jealous. har har.

and let just say, love your body. never diet. eat well.

ta then! :)

Bit by a kitten

Assalam

Bit by a kitten few days ago. Think it was nothing until the blood kept on flowing. Did the necessary first aids and think it was good after that.

Few hours later, the pain from the bite didn't go away. Not sure why i have the feeling of 'no pain no gain' mood. I was very content on withstand the pain with no painkiller and all.

Nway, i slept with the pain. like 'chill, i have a cat bit near my thumb n i'm all ok eventhough the thumb almost look purple like a brinjal'.

Next day, i woke up and realized the bitten area became a bit swollen. It was a hard to move the thumb at first but after a few hours, the pain subside.

Still, i bought a gel to decrease the bruise.

Did it went away? Nope. Instead of purple, then it became red.

But there was no pain anymore. There was just the redness. So i had to surrender and went to the hospital with my father. Got myself a tetanus shot with a smile from both the doctor and the nurses when they heard i got it bcos of a little kitten.

And oh, an antibiotic too. Cloxacillin.

So now the pain is gone and the colour is in natural state.

I realized that if you want to have a pet, you better get yourself a tetanus shot first. Even a vet student needs that. So pet owners must too.

Bye then. I suddenly have a need to blog cos i have something on my mind.

Ps: the doctor asked me if i want a painkiller. I said no cos i might get addicted to it. I didn't tell her that tho.

Luck and rights

Assalam.

Been in a complicated mood nowadays. Since November, my life was a bit up and down. Since the day i hit a pillar at Blue Wave Hotel and left a big mark on the BMW Z2 that i drove, my life had been a bit stressful.

Oh. Did i say i drive a BMW now? Cool huh? my juniors were like "whoa!" but since that ugly smudge appeared, the BMW lost it glamour. Cis. I'm too lazy to spend my money to touch up the car.

Now that this topic is about luck, another unfortunate stuff happened the next 2 months after November.

I fought with my dear immature brother.

Oh. Twice.

First, it was because i told him he treated my other brother like a slave. And he got really really mad. And he cursed me after that.

A month after that, we had a fight again. Because i told him that the Macbook he was using is mine and that he needed not be stressed about the laptop being wrecked. he got mad and kicked my legs and hit my head too. Maybe 4 times? I did got a bruise at my shin after that. Had a hard time to pray for the few days tho.

So i told my maid about it. And my maid told my dad. And my dad told that brother of mine that if he did that again, he'll be kicked out from the house.

Obviously i stopped talking to that brother of mine. I avoided him. But i think my father's warning made him realized that he needs to take care of his temper and me not talking to him is not making his life easier cos really, without me, how can he live?

This might be unlucky for some, but hey, i was actually lucky. My sister was there to stop him from hitting me harder. What do you think will happen if i was alone with him? I might be in the news 'brother hit sister till die?' oooooooh.

Thing is, i didn't cry when he hit me. I was holding my phone tightly. I was preparing myself to call 999. I have my rights. The guy lose the temper like an abusive drunk husband. Lucky him and lucky me. Things could be settled.

I am not sure what my intention for blogging this. But let just say, if somebody hit you, maybe you should just prepare yourself from being far from that person. Thing is, that is a dangerous love. You can live a better life without being abused. That time, i had people to stop him and me. Next time, i am not sure myself. Do your right as a human. We are human, we do not need to be treated badly just because women are weak but because we are human.

That is all.

Bon Jovi Malaysia concert 2015

AsSalam and hello.

Heheheheh. I saw Bon Jovi, at a concert, LIVE...and it was awesome!!!!!! woohuhuhu.

finally got the tickets from Cik Jie's friends who sold us the PS5 tickets for cheap. the PS5 seats were the cheapest and also the farthest ones from the stage, so i was a bit skeptical in spending my money at those seats. but then again, i only paid RM50 for it, so, i no need to complain. haha.

the price that Cik Jie's friend gave us was RM113. i paid RM50 only. haha. thanks, Cik Jie.

i went with my stepmum, that's why i got it cheap cos she paid some part of it. my dad sent us to the stadium. haha. it was kinda funny. usually, i went with my friends, so to see him sending us there, easily without worry about parking and all was kinda nice.

my partner for this concert.

 anyway, we arrived at the stadium. the concert started at 8.30pm so we have to pray Maghrib first. saw a Chinese guy with a AskMe sign. we asked him "where's the prayer room?" and he said it's in the stadium and we have to enter it at our PS5 gate, which is a bit farther from the entrance of the stadium. so we went.

at the gate, we lined-up and saw the security. they checked our bags, and 1 of them saw my camera. damn. so i told them that we are seating far from the stage and that my camera cannot really snap those people clearly. they have none of it. they said i have to ask someone else to keep it or something like that. so i said"oh yeke?" and put the camera inside my bag and went to Cik Jie and enter the gate without caring about those security. they just look at me and just let me in.

yes, the camera still with me. no way i will give others to take care of it.

still, we asked where is the prayer room. how nice, the security said i have to enter the main entrance to go to the prayer room. the Chinese guy before said a different thing. by the way, the security at the PS5 were Malays.

and so, we went to the main gate.

let just say, problems start from here. we asked the Malay securities, cos you know, Muslim to Muslim, we should help each other cos we understand each other the most. solat Maghrib is wajib. the conversation was somewhat like this (pardon the Malay):

Alia: ktorang nk solat Maghrib. surau dekat mana?

Malay pakguard: surau dekat dalam.

Alia: oh. camne nak masuk? nak solat ni.

Malay pakguard: oh. tak boleh masuk.

Alia: .....

Alia: ktorang nak solat Maghrib kot. surau perempuan kat mana je?

Malay pakguard: belah sini surau laki. surau perempuan belah sana.

Alia: so, ktorang nak pegi belah sana la.

Malay pakguard: oh. tak boleh.

Alia: ktorang nak solat kot. nape plak tak boleh??

Malay pakguard: ..................

Alia: ???????

Malay pakguard: (went to an Indian pakguard. not a Muslim) boss, camne ni?

Alia: (Seriously?????? ko Melayu Islam, ko tatau camne nak handle ni???)

Indian pakguard: sorry, we can't let you in.

Alia: hey. ktorang dah ade wuduk. ni solat Maghrib. ktorang kene solat ni. takkan tak boleh solat plak.

Indian pakguard: no, we can't let you in. there were some people who went in who said they want to pray, but instead they went in and enter a different zone.

Alia: ktorang solat sekejap je. pastu ktorang keluar la. takkanla tak boleh. you check ktorang pun takpe.

Indian pakguard: we really can't let you in.

Alia: (almost curse) 

Indian pakguard: (talked something at the walkie talkie. then..) ok here. i will say something.

Cik Jie: tak, ktorang nak solat sekejap je. dah ade wuduk dah ni.

Indian pakguard. excuse me. i'm in charge here.

Alia and Cik Jie: :/

Indian pakguard: You (point to Malay guard) follow them to the surau and wait outside.

Malay pakguard: (nod)

and that's it. i was furious. really, really furious. i wasn't furious at the Indian guy. i was furious at my own Muslim brothers. how could they not let us in and be timid and quiet when we told them that we want to pray. how could they not help us and be quiet like that? and how could the organizers not handling this matter properly?? the concert starts at 8.30pm, obviously fans will arrive during Maghrib.

i've been to many concerts and they are mostly Kpop. the recent B1A4 incident affected the Malaysian kpop fans tremendously. some youth societies called out kpop fans for being non-Islamic just because they were being over-obsessed over their kpop idols. what you should know tho, these so-called non-Islamic kpop fans do their prayers before the concert start. they know what is 'wajib' and what isn't. whenever i asked where the prayer room is, the organizers of kpop concerts, that are mostly Chinese, let us pray easily with no nonsense such as this. so, really. do not blame others for being bad when your own being make you bad.

ok. back to the concert. i almost forgot the main dish.

we've done our pray and went to the PS5 gate and sat somewhere that completely show the whole stage. it was far, but the view is good.

to be honest, i don't know much about Bon Jovi, but It's My Life is one of my favourite songs. i've started listen to it when i was 7 years old and the memory of that first time was special for me. and from that information, you could guess that i only know their famous songs only. ha ha.

anyway, the stadium suddenly gone dark. you know that they already appeared on stage and the concert finally started.

we brought my father's binoculars, so we could actually see Jon's face clearly using that. but still, you have to thank that big screen too. they have a great screen. HD even. 

they sang plenty songs that i didn't recognize. but the different thing about this concert with the other concerts that i went to, the unrecognized ones are enjoyable. my favourite was when they sang You Give Love a Bad Name. that was brilliant. the crowd sang like they're involve in the song. it was brilliant. i was in my concert mode. i sang and scream like a fangirl. haha. and when they sang It's My Life, i felt that nice oozy warmth. i went back to being 7 years old and saw the clips on that tiny, old tv. haha. those memories.

i forgot which song was it, but Jon came down from the stage and went to the fans. bloody great service he gave to the crowd. he let the crowd touched him and the crowd even hugged his whole body from the waist down and even groped his ass. this is what i saw from the big screen. i was far, obviously i couldn't join the crowd in grabbing his ass.

now, now. what will JAWI said about this?

and the light went off again. and encore. crowd started shouting "WE WANT MORE! WE WANT MORE!" so they appeared again and sang....Livin' on a Prayer!!! another favourite!

 

and then, he sang Have a Nice Day. nice as you heard it. after the song finish, they bowed and out from the stage.

no stage lights on, but the stadium's lights came on. crowd started to move and went out from the stadium. i was like "ehhhhh??? i thought there's a second encore??? where's the 2nd one??? where's Always????" one of the fan in front of me started to pick up his bag and was shaking his head towards me. hey, i looked at the setlist ok. i have a reason for being surprised.

and the stadium started to announce thanks and all, and that was it. the concert ended. just like that.

and you think Bon Jovi could have said a simple bye bye. he didn't. so, i have to accept that.

out of nowhere, there was this guy who came and asked us if we could take a picture of them. i said OK and then i saw my partner-in-crime who stalked Benedict Cumberbatch with me at Mandarin Oriental Hotel (she saw him, i didn't). 

this is Zati. of all places in that big stadium, we saw each other in that kind of circumstances. haha. we haven't since that Cumberbabes stalking.

overall, it was a brilliant concert. think it was the most crowded i even been too. heard there's more than 18k who came. so that was why.

come again, Jon and co. i'll try to memorize all your songs next time you come. and please sing Always next time we meet. thanks.

i'll do the Bon Jovi way, no bye bye and thank you. *bow out* *walk away*...

Bordeaux 1-1 Liverpool

AsSalam and hello.

LFC drew 1-1 against Bordeaux this early morning.

i slept during the 1st half. i was too sleepy. the Boncafe coffee really not effective in making me awake. i tweeted during half-time that i fell asleep, and a LFC mate of mine said that i didn't miss anything.

i kinda expected that.

the first 10 minutes made me realized that LFC might play this constant low quality football till the 90th minute. it was frustrating to see them play like that.

then, i fell asleep.

i was a bit happy when young Rossiter started for the team. 18 years old and his weekly salary might be more than $20k. Emre Can wasn't playing well too. Gomez did well tho. Sakho was the captain. Lovren and Skrtel did not start and that gave me a bit of confidence that we could win.

— Steven Gerrard (@Gerrard8FanPage) September 18, 2015

i was wide awake in the 2nd half. thankfully, Lallana scored the 1st goal. and then the camera showed Brendan's face and i was like "you still need to be sacked, mister". then, the usual defending mistakes occur again, Bordeaux equalized, and the score stayed the same till full-time.

it was upsetting but fortunate at the same time. we did not play well, but at least we got a point. very upsetting how disorganize the team were this morning. as individuals, the players are great. but as a team, they are not good. it was really frustrating.

Rodgers was improving at the start of this season, but after that good performance against Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium, his decisions later on show his arrogance and the results of the matches after that proved his incompetency. so now, i'm joining the #RodgersOut brigade.

i'm really really a nice person. but sometimes, we need to put an end in something.

Carra for LFC manager, please. not Gerrard, nope.

tho this news came out just now.....

German football journalist Raphael Honigstein: It’s no secret by now that Liverpool have tried twice to get Klopp to take over,”

— Billy Liddell (@Liddellpool) September 18, 2015

oh. Bordeaux supporters are amazing. i want to join that kind of fun too, if i have the chance. YNWA!

pretty girl and Me.

AsSalam and hello.

tiring day today. the day today was gloomy, might've affected my head a bit just now. i was too sleepy. i was supposed to be at the lab at 8am today but i slept after my Subuh prayer and woke up at 8am instead.

ha ha.

currently, i have to do FTIR to my samples to check the compounds, whether there is any difference to my samples after i treat them with N- and O-glycosylation inhibitors. so today, i booked the FTIR machine at the forensic lab at 2pm.

i arrived at 2pm.

then i saw this lovely, beautiful girl. she wore a hijab, obvious shades of blushers at the side of each cheeks and lovely purple shades of lipsticks. a normal human will admit that she is pretty.

i saw the lab assistant talking to her. he was smiling. so i waited. then, he saw me. he said he had to use the machine first and that i'll use it after him. i nodded. i looked at the girl and she was shyly smiling at me. the lab assistant helped her analyzed her samples. he did all the analyzing stuff. the girl just followed behind him and watched what he was doing. she kinda did nothing.

i waited. waited. yawned. waited. i realized i had waited for 45 minutes and i had not done my Zohor prayer yet. then, two juniors from Applied Chemistry degree appeared. their turn was supposed to be after me.so, i end up telling them that i have waited for 45 minutes and my turn is yet to come.

3pm on the dot, and the lab assistant and the pretty girl were done with their work. the pretty girl apologized to me. i smiled and said "oh, don't mind".

really, i don't mind.

then, i went into the room with the FTIR machine. apparently, the lab assistant let her saved her data in her pendrive. OK then....

it was my turn. the lab assistant left me alone and like a pro, i had the job done.
major difference than what i've seen between the lab assistant and the pretty girl.

i was done with my work. so i told the lab assistant that i want to save my data.
he asked"do you bring a CD to save the data?" and i replied"yes" .

then, i realized....
this is discrimination between a pretty girl and an average-looking girl like me! (average is the right word as the word ugly is not that pretty).

ces.

that is all. i need to rant after all.

ps: i googled the term for this kind of discrimination and it is called 'lookism'

Assembly, Mrs Cop, YongPal

AsSalam and hello.

Since the time i passed my 2nd DRP (well, a repeated one), i had a bit of free time.

I'm too lazy to download dramas, so i watch them through the KBSworld and OneHD instead. Both channels now broadcast their dramas and variety shows early, so i watch them on tv instead.

HD too. No more 450p resolution.

Still, i don't subscribe Oh!K and Channel M at Astro, so i miss MBC and Tvn dramas. That's why i haven't join the Oh My Ghostess brigade yet.

Currently, KBSworld are showing Virtual Bride(Mon-Tues) and Assembly(Wed-Thurs) while OneHD are showing Mrs Cop(Tues-Wed) and YongPal(Thurs-Fri).

Among them, i watched all except Virtual Bride. Not sure why, i like the casts n synopsis but i decided not to watch it withoit reason. Some people said the drama is funny tho.

Current favourite among the three that i watch is Assembly. The current political problems in Malaysia might influence me to watch this but the fact that the same writer of Jeon Do Jeon is involve in this drama made me interested. And well, that writer still brilliant. Assembly might have a low rating but the casts and the story are just brilliant. The heavy politics story might not interest the general audience but it does has a fan in me. Whenever Jin Sang Pil talks, i have tears in my eyes. He talks all the problems that the public are having right now. High cost of rent, unnecessary funding to unimportant stuff, unnecessary quarrel among politicians, all those stuff. Another interesting point is that his aide is a woman. A brilliant-minded woman who thinks of strategy. Usually, dramas let the men do the thinking. Almost a feminist, i love the fact that they show that women can also like politics and women can also help the men in something that doesn't involve household stuff. The drama will end in Korea today, so a good ending is expected.

But this is KBS we're talking about. I might have a tiny bit expectation that it will have an ending like I Remember You.

Mrs Cop is brilliant too. Intriguing. Kim Hui Ae is awesome. Gikwang is cute. Son Hojoon and Lee Dahee are great together. The Violent Crime Unit are Jjang! The villain is evil and hateful but he makes the drama better. Just when i thought the drama is like a typical police drama, they have a different twist. Not sure what it is, but its sure is different. Unlike The Girl who Sees Smell, this one at least made me wants to finish the drama. Sorry Shin Sekyung, Kim Hui Ae tops you, always.

Oh. Kim Hui Ae's fashion is totally on point. Skirts? What is skirts? She wears police uniform with pants and still looks good in it.

Yongpal..... Intriguing. Maybe that's what makes it have a high rating. The plot makes the audience want to watch it. Kim Tae Hee really tries hard to show a good acting and she did ok. I pity Joowon. His eyebags are getting worse so i lose my focus a bit when i watch this drama. Him n KTH are not even compatible but they can be sweet together. Plenty women in the drama but KTH still the best looking. Funny fighting scenes, dramatic plots. Great surgery skills tho. Hope Joowon will manage himself better now that they want to extend the drama with 2 more eps.

Free times are nice if you fill them up with what you like. So i fill them up with dramas instead. Truth to be told, i should've spend them by reading journals instead of watching these dramas. Ah well. Whatever.

Back to watching Mrs Cop. Ta!

The missing Milo

AsSalam and good morning.

Milo the cat is missing. My family's favourite cat is missing.

Really, i don't want to admit the word 'missing'. It means i admit that he really is missing.

I am being very positive by saying he is somewhere out there, in other neighbourhood close to us, trying to mate with some pretty cute female cat.

He is at the age of being horny after all.

Milo, please be alive and come home. We miss you .

Can i see Bon Jovi?

AsSalam.

Was checking out for some cheap Bon Jovi tickets on twitter last time.

Then i saw TuneTalk tweeted abt Bon Jovi tickets. Thought i could redeem them using my tunetalk points.

Nope. Only a 20% off of the tickets price with additional tunetalk points needed to buy the tixket. I have the points, don't have the money.

Told my stepmum about it. She loves Bon Jovi. She said she only wants RM100++ tickets.

So i entered some Bon Jovi tickets contests. I won nothing for now.

Then my stepmum's friend won 4 VIP tickets. They took 2 of them. Unfortunately, they want to sell the other two tickets.

Sometimes i hate this greedy, bussiness-mind people.

But my stepmum found cheap P5 tickets tho. Original price: RM138. Discounted price: RM113. She wants my father to pay for our tickets.

I don't mind tho.

Hoping for some good news. I did see somebody downloading Bon Jovi songs from torrent just now. He he he he 😝

"You give love a bad name" ~guitar plays~

A summary of the current.

AsSalam and hello.

Life is quite nice nowadays. I ate the food that i want, i shopped things that i want, and i have the freedom to choose what i want.

Life is nice when things go easy like this.

But sometimes, things like this suddenly become the opposite. Just when you say "today is a good day" you suddenly get a text saying "hey Alia, you need service your nose. Your cat peed on my shirts".

Life is pretty amazing like that.

I'm in my 3rd semester of my Masters now. Things are a bit relaxing before but the results of my experiments are not really that interesting. It is like a male cat. A male cat is nice when he has no one to mate. Nothing change. And then he wants to mate, and things change.

My current result is like that. At first, it was kinda awesome and might become a new discovery. Then it suddenly become a normal result that has no significance. Tough luck.

My support for my beloved football club is becoming dim tho. The lack of passion by the manager and players are making me lose my passion too. I support them bcos they were full of passion. But now, not so much.

I even think of changing my twittername to my real name. But apparently, you can't change ur twitter username anymore.

I suppose to read more journals nowadays. But i end up reading mangas instead. I read some ero-manga named Nozoki Ona. It was good read tho i kinda wonder whether being naked is that easy to do.

Btw, Behati Prinsloo has a nice body. Ha ha.

Few days ago, i've just realized that i don't have a look that can make others smitten. So  i kinda give up on making men like me. I'll be nice to them, and if they're nice to me and like me, i might like them too. Ha ha. Or maybe i won't. Or that person won't too.

I wish a close friend of mine will realize that the people around her change bcos her own attitude make them change.

What is bad by being nice? Naive? Try being treated badly. Then you want a nice treatment.

These all summarize what happened to me. Ta! 😙

The Stories of Those Around Us

AsSalam.

Yesterday was Wednesday.

I was walking home to my car at UiTM during the evening and i realized that was in a brilliant mood.

It was the same feeling that i had after a day of seeing a handsome guy that smiles at me. Tho i saw no handsome guy but i had a pretty damn good feeling.

Then i realized, it was Wednesday.

My favourite webtoon is released every Wednesday.

And i damn well love it.

The webtoon is titled 'The Stories of those Around Me'.

My kind of reader pleasure. The story is sooooooo sweeet and shoujo-ish. Tho the webtoon is a Korean webtoon but you can imagine what i feel.

The story is about 3 girls but currently it talks about the story of Mira, who is almost 30, i think, who has a crush on this guy that he met at a subway, called Peace.

It is the typical romantic comedy storyline. Tho personally i like how nice the people around Mira supports her and how Peace sees her. And i love how real it is to reality. Because Mira's reactions are the same reaction that i had whenever something lovey doey stuff happened to me. And she kinda experiencing what i had, so i end up supporting her as a reader.

Tho the sad part is that Mira has a good chance of having a special relationship while i have no chance cos i currently do not have somebody.

If only i have one.

Oh, based on the latest chapter, Peace and Mira are having an ending that i have not had yet. Haha.

Anyway, if you want to read the webtoon, download LINE Webtoon app and search the title. Plenty of good webtoons in there too. Tho my personal favourite is this story.

Again, i reviewed stuff again. Bye then! 😘

a tale of an arrogant brother.

AsSalam.

few days ago, i was watching the tv with 2nd brother, and all of sudden, my 1st brother suddenly appeared and said "alia, when you have plenty of money, buy your own tv and you can watch all your Korean shows from that tv of yours. and also because there is another person who also watches Korean shows beside you" he eyed my 2nd brother when he said that.

and then i said "i don't have any money" tho i should have said "i'm saving myself for a PS4 and buy my own tv to play that PS4" but i was not that creative at that moment.

and then my 2nd brother defended himself and said "Alia watches dramas and tv shows. i only watched tv shows" which actually incorrect because i only watch variety shows from the telly, but watch dramas from the computer instead.

but i only stayed quiet and ignored whatever those two people said.

but they still continued to talk.

after my 2nd brother defended himself, the 1st brother said"it is because you don't have any job, so you just stay at home and do nothing but watch the tv. that's why" and so he said the usual 'you no job, you useless' when he also was that kind of person few months ago.

"do you know that you don't do anything right now?? nothing. it's because you have no job" the first brother was almost shouting when he said this.

"but i actually did something to search for a job" the 2nd brother added.

i was quiet, if you were wondering.

"YOU DID NOTHING. YOU HAD TWO INTERVIEWS, BUT YOU DIDN'T GO TO ANY OF THEM. ALIA TOLD ME THAT!" so the first brother involved me in his yelling. how sweet of him.

"do you know what job was that? it was a job at a call center". not a wise reply, 2nd brother.

"BUT AT LEAST THAT JOB GIVE YOU APPROXIMATELY RM1800++. MY SALARY IS NOT EVEN AS MUCH AS THAT!" the first brother continue to yell. it is true. he always complain about his salary.

the 2nd brother did not say anything.

the first brother continued to yell,"YOU SAID YOU DID SOMETHING. WHAT SOMETHING? YOU DIDN'T DO ANYTHING! YOU DIDN'T EVEN FIND ANY WORK! YOU JUST STAY AT HOME. YOU DID NOTHING. AYAH OBSERVED YOU. I OBSERVED YOU. ALIA ALSO OBSERVED YOU. YOU DID NOTHING" and he involved me again in his shout.

"YOU DIDN'T EVEN PRAY! AT LEAST PRAY FOR SUBUH! BUT YOU DIDN'T! YOU DID NOTHING!!" the first brother shouted again.

i was trying not to say out loud,'you also don't pray la, you idiot'.

my 2nd brother stayed quiet. his face showed that he was upset but he tried to not yell back. wise move.

i also stayed quiet. i was watching Hello Counselor.

and to be honest, the problem in Hello Counselor is more complicated than these 2 people fighting against each other.

why? because watching my first and second brothers fought with their own words about something so ridiculous like that is embarrassing. the embarrassing part is, the one who yells did not even realize that he was once the same person as the person who was yelled at. but that person who did the yelling forgot about his past, that he thought he is a better person than that person who he yelled at.

it was stupid, immature and arrogant.

you has a job and you insult those who did not.

that person who yells only assumed that the other person did not work because he did not has any plan to have a job.WHAT'S WITH THE ASSUMPTION? maybe that person really really search for a job, but he just did not mention it? so you has a job, and you think you are better?

again, what's with the yelling?

second story: the first brother has his own car but the steering wheel is a bit off, so he does not use it, but wait for someone to repair it. the car still haven't been repaired for almost 5 months.

so he used someone else's car. whose? mine and others.

and then he entered the car and it currently has this fishy smell. the guy became furious. and he asked me, with anger, "where did that smell came from?" i just said"they went to the market this morning. maybe happened at that time?"

and he became more furious. long story short, he suddenly said that we are irresponsible because we did not take care of the car.

i stayed quiet and just played Candy Crush. the guy continued with his talk"you also used that car. you should have taken care of it better"

i tried not to smirk.

did he not think when he said that?

it was ridiculous. my maid already Febreze-ed that car. she even brought it along when we went shopping just now. we knew that the car had a fishy smell. we wondered how it'd happen but we tried to eliminate the smell.

but it didn't work. so we just let it go.

but the guy did not know that. he assumed we were just being lazy about it. he assumed that we were being irresponsible.

i stayed quiet.

and then he went outside and came back again and said "i hate it when you do not care about the car".

😱😱😰😰😪😷

TAKE CARE OF YOUR OWN DAMN CAR, YOU IDIOT.

and then he complained again and cancelled his plan to go out just because the car has a fishy smell.

this is ridiculous. i do not even know why i even blogged about this.

anyway, ta!

you are your own view

AsSalam.

today, a senior of mine told me this lovely, funny but a tiny bit sad story.

"Alia, you want to know something? yesterday, Dr Faiz asked me"do you know my student, Alia?" and then i said"yes, i know. why?" and then he said"oh. friends with her, ok?""

hahahahha.

am i that lonely??

granted, i am always alone in the lab. i have to search for friends instead of making one. few months ago, the juniors were kind enough and always asked for help from me and tried to friendly. this semester tho, the juniors not so... friendly.

ah well. maybe i have a serious face after all.

there was a time i asked this young lecturer who taught me pre-calculus. she was nice. i asked her if she has any 1st impression of me. and she said"you looked arrogant when i first saw you"

i could have ignored it and forget about it but i still remember her answer till now. it is the way she said the word 'arrogant' that make me  still remember that answer. she looked...bitter.

ah well. as long as i know who i am, that is all that matter.

i liked this week's episode of Hello Counselor at KBSworld that had BEAST as guests. i love the way the fashion terrorist ajumma explained why she wore that funny and immature looking clothes. she had short curly, orange hair with a ribbon band on it, a pink clothes and heavy,glossy make-up on her face. and oh, she was not that thin, so she looked a bit ridiculous with those stuff on her. her daughter sent a concern about her because she wears that kind of clothes all the time and she is 43 years old. so her daughter wants her to stop.

and when the MCs told her if she will stop wearing those stuff, the so-called immature mother explained why she will not stop wearing those stuff.

"i do not care what other people think. if this stuff makes me happy, i am happy. why must i be unhappy just to follow what people said?" i think she said those stuff, sort of.

what she said was astounding. and she even add, "when i was young, my mother had plenty of clothes but she never wear them. she always wore the same one. one day, she went to my school. i was so embarrassed of her, i hid instead". she was almost in tears. the MCs could not say anything to her. her daughter changed her opinion, and instead told her to stop spending $1000 on her weird clothes but spend half of it instead. her mother agreed, and all problems settled.

and that, people, is why you must not care what people think. be wise. people might complain and say that and that, but that same people who complain also like that.

take me as example. there was this cute boy at my faculty but i often complained that he wore the same boring t-shirt all the time. but then, i realized that i also wear the same hijab, and the same shirts and jeans to my faculty too.

so, be wise and never care what the world think. you live for yourself and most importantly, for ALLAH.

Childish.

AsSalam n hello.

Dear people who are around me. Childish is ok until you make it annoying.

Like that time when we want to pay for that masseuse for that massage we got?

We all know that someone would pay it for us but then somebody stopped it and said "i'll pay for mine" and suddenly that person also said "he'll pay for himself too"

Way to go for ruin the mood and not telling us about it.

No need to be so sure that you are making this for our benefit. Nope, you are not. Think first who you're dealing with.

Because who that person is determine thr childish annoying meter that you've just started. Because the other guy is a childish person just like you. More or equally annoying like you.

The other person went mad n started made a scene.

And then you'd be smh n all.

Oh yeah.

You two notice who is looking at these stupid behavior? The youngest person which is Me.

The fuck were you two doing? I had to apologize to the masseuse because of you two. She only needed her payment, not some stupid behaviour. Heck, she had just seen you naked body. But she only needed her payment.

You people make me sick. 😠

New Phone: Lenovo S960 Vibe X

AsSalam.

I'm using a new phone cos my old Samsung Galaxy Note went kapoot. Went for a repair n found out even the motherboard was ruined. If i replace the motherboard, it'd cost about RM600. End up not paying for that and planned to buy a new phone instead.

Went to Mid Valley cos they had this IT Fair thingy. Wanted to look around for some new phone. And the one that excited me was the this new Lenovo. The price was quite good. About RM669 like that. Didn't have the money but i did feel like i want to buy that phone.

Went home, told my dad, showed him some brochure of Lenovo phones, and i thought about which one i want. The Vibe X was within my price range. The Vibe Z is tempting but the price...erm NO. Anyway, 2 days after that, my father gave the money and i bought a new phone with my maid as the negotiator.

I'm liking this phone. 2.2 Ghz processor, 2GB RAM, Camera: (front) 5mpx, (back) 12mpx. Yes, the camera quality influenced my decision a bit. I need a good camera for selfie after all. Haha. Fyi, the camera was supposed to be 13mpx, but after i updated the android to the most recent one, it becomes 12mpx instead.

It has certain themes, and you could choose. You could change the wallpaper to the one you want but it's a bit difficult to set it to your own liking tho. It has some editing features for the camera that you might not need the Camera360 app if you have this phone. And for the selfie camera, it has this beautify picture thing that will make your face look flawless without any acne scars. 

I end up reviewing this product instead. Ah well. Here's a picture of me selfie with my new camera.

supposed to meet Cumberbatch, but met Cantona instead

AsSalam and hello.

so i'll blog the Part 2 of my Cumberbitches' plan to meet Cumberbatch when he was in Malaysia.

spoiler alert: IN THE END WE DIDN'T MEET HIM.

why?
i'll just say that we were not fated to meet each other face to face. some of my mates did see him. Emilia Yunho saw a glimpse of him. my friend, Bahiyah and I? we saw none of his glimpse.

NONE!

i didn't remember much about that night now that THAT night was months ago, so i couldn't really blog what actually happen. sorry tho. maybe i really should start blogging actively nowadays especially now that i already put some adsense ads at my blog. haha.

anyway, we did meet some famous people tho. that Bahiyah, she saw Jamie Foxx when he arrived at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel after the award show. she was like "JAMIE FOXX!! JAMIE FOXX!! HE JUST CAME OUT FROM THAT VAN!!" and we were like "where?where??" and saw none of him.

by the way, we were at the entrance of the Mandarin Oriental Hotel at that time.

so we parked the car and went to the cafe and ordered one pink guava juice that cost RM24 and also 6 glasses of warm water that were free. actually, we ordered 3, but they gave us 6 cos the waitress knew why we were there i.e STALKING.

anyway, we waited for Mr. Cumberbatch to enter the hotel. we still saw nothing.

famous people started to appear.

and then i saw 3 Manchester United fans sat beside our table. waiting for some Scums legends such as Eric Cantona and .....oh, Bobby Charlton.

anyway, we waited.

and then Tiqah, my new Cumberbitch friend, saw at twitter that Benedict Cumberbatch was outside the hotel, signing some autographs for the fans outside. LIKE, WHAT THE HELL. we were waiting for him in the hotel with a RM24 guava juice, and he was signing autographs for fans that spent nothing for him????

sometimes, life is a bit cruel. but we have to embrace it.

anyway, we still hoped he enter the hotel. but then we found out that the VIPs went to some post-award party at a nearby club. so Mr Cumberbatch went party without us.

ok.

with hope in our heart. that line from You'll Never Walk Alone was in my mind. so we waited for him. it was almost 11pm at that time.

and then i saw David Coulthard. for your information, he was a former Formula One racer. btw, those who know me since i was 11 knows how much i love F1 at that time. i had a book that had this statistic and data about the winners and all. my favourite F1 racer will forever be Mika Hakkinen. Michael Schumacher is good, but i don't like him enough as a favourite. and so do David Coulthard. but still, i did like him long ago because i was a fan of McLaren, and he was a McLaren driver when i was a fan of F1.

anyway, i saw him and his wife. i don't want to talk about his wife, cos i don't know her but she was a bit sexy, and i didn't really like her dress that night. Coulthard tho, looks ..good, i guess. not all F1 racers look like Kimi Raikkonen after all. you can't blame him. anyway, i didn't take any picture with him. i only looked and tried to not look excited. haha. i mean, that was David Coulthard after all. that former McLaren F1 racer. anyway, he didn't go to the party. he went straight to his room after he stopped by at the cafe.

and then, the Scums fans stood up and went somewhere. i didn't really realize that until Emi's friend, i forgot what his name, asked me"you don't want to take a picture with Cantona?" and i was like "why should i?" and when i think about it, i should take a picture with him. i could show-off to my brothers if i took a picture with him.

so Emi, her male friend(a Scum supporter) and I went to the lobby and saw the guy that did the flying kick to a supporter, Eric Cantona. he was busy signing autograph for the Scums fans. while we went near him, the guards told us that we couldn't take a picture with him. Emi was like "only few minutes lah" and Cantona suddenly walked away. we chased after him and he stopped to sign more autographs. while he was busy signing those autographs, Emi went to him, pulled a tiny bit of his suit that he end up looking at her, and she asked"will you take a picture with us?" and his reply"OK."

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

and he went back signing the autographs, and after he finished, he looked around for us, and we went to him and took a picture together.

from left: Emilia, Cantona, Me.

 

 

after we took a picture with him, i just realized that our cameraman was Emi's friend, the Scum supporter. hahahahahahahhahaha. i asked him why he wasn't in the picture n he could just asked someone to snap for us, but he just said "at least i could meet him".

nice.

nway, i sent the picture to my family's WhatsApp group. and my brothers were like "where did you meet him?"

i am brilliant, after all.

anyway, we went back to the cafe. still waiting for Mr Cumberbatch to appear.

one hour gone, still no him.

i did see some Malay guys who looked rich. found out they were Siti Nurhaliza's stepsons. must be nice to be rich. ate at that cafe and ordered expensive food like its cheap.

and i saw Fabio Capello. again. feel like taking a picture with him tho, but some guys took a picture with him first, and he went to eat his supper immediately afterwards. no chance for me. then i saw Bobby Charlton. some Scums fans wanted to take a picture with him but his wife stopped them "NO PICTURE PLEASE"

ceh.

and so we waited again. it was almost 12am.

and then, some girls said"he already entered but he immediately went to the lift!!" and Emi said"i saw him too. he just went to the lift immediately". they said he was drunk after the party. some girls stopped him n wanted to take a picture while he was drunk, but he refused them politely.

and so, it ends. no chance of meeting him. i was not fated to meet him. maybe one day.

and i end up meeting another Scums guy which i found out later to be some famous painter of Manchester United. a very old guy who was really really friendly to us. and he thought all of us are Manchester United fans. how cute. Tiqah is a Spurs fan, while I support Liverpool FC.

ha ha.

anyway, he was nice. he wrote his website url that has some Cantona's pictures, on his dentist name card and gave it to us. he still thought we were Scums supporters tho. his wife even asked"your brothers have a poster of Cantona on their walls?"

erm... i forgot what i answered.

anyway, we gave up. we paid for our drink and went outside of the cafe. the security immediately came and said"we received complains and you have to leave now". if only i can shove my RM24 bill of pink guava juice up his ass, that'd make my day.

so, that's all.

bye bye.

maybe one day we'll meet each other, Mr Cumberbatch.

good night. thanks for reading.

Cumberbitches' plan to meet Cumberbatch

Salam.

I have the mood to blog, or in other words, to talk about something interesting.

Two weeks ago, i was in my fangirl mode. Not my usual kpop fangirl mode. It was my British fangirl mode. Not related to LFC, but the guy still a British guy. As some or maybe few of you might have known, this year's Laureus Award was held in KL because Rio had to cancel the event bcos of some reason that i forgot what it was.

What is Laureus Award? An award for sportsman. Actors have Oscars, athletes have Laureus. As a football n sports fan, i was excited about this event. I even wish to attend it. Only a wish, so i did not do anything about that wish.

Until, my dear friend Emilia Miyuu Miyuu told me at LINE:

My dear Sherlock was chosen as the host for that award!!

As Benedict Cumberbatch was chosen as the host, i became more excited. Yeah yeah, they said Beckhams would appear. Rafael Nadal also might appear. But Benedict Cumberbatch as the host? That's a dream come true for me.

So, Emi and I planned about what to do. And apparently, our friend, Bai, also a fan of his. So she wanted to join our stalking activity.

Me, Emilia and Bai. stalking trio.

We planned and planned. When will he arrived? Which hotel? Which flight? We planned and speculated.

We made a Whatsapp group called Cumberbitches, just to discuss our 'activity'. We used our stalking experience as a kpop fan and speculated which hotel he'd stay. One of the sponsor for the event was Majestic Hotel. So we thought he might have stayed there.

So.....
We went there.

FYI, the hotel is a 5 star hotel, situated in the middle of KL, with a majestically beautiful interior. We planned to sit at the cafe there and waited for our Ben Ben. The waitress gave us an Acer tablet as the menu. We looked at the list of drinks they have. Some didn't even show the price. There was one drink that cost about RM28. I think it was an orange juice....

I think la.

In the end, we asked for the waitress and asked her whether they serve any coffee. She said yes and we asked what kind. She said "cappucino, latte" n so on. Without thinking, i said cappucino n the others chose latte instead.

So we waited for our Ben Ben.

We waited and waited.

Where the hell is he? We thought.

We got our coffee. And some cookies. Mind you, the place oozes with class. We couldn't even talk loudly. We were like classy ladies. We drank the coffee like we were Kate Middleton. We had to pretend like we're born high class. We drank the coffees like royalties even though Emi said the latte tasted like the ones at McCafe. The cookies were tasty but it was like the kuih raya cookies we had during Eid Fitr.

The cappucino that i ordered.

And then, Bai showed us a picture of our Ben Ben with some fans at some hotel... in Malaysia. We were like"when is this?? Where??" then a friend of Bai (through facebook) said that he actually stayed at Mandarin Oriental Hotel, not at Majestic Hotel.
So we looked at our coffee. We looked around. Then Bai asked "Mandarin Oriental, jom?" and we replied "JOM!!"
we asked for the bill. The waitress gave us the bill.

...

RM20, not include tax, for each of our coffee. The price of pretending to be rich and also the price of being a Cumberbitch.

So we went to Mandarin Oriental. Oh. It was 11.30pm at that time. Almost midnight. And once we arrived, i went to the toilet. I told the girls to wait at the cafe. They said "don't mind don't mind. We'll wait for you in the toilet" oh how kind they were.

I took about 5 minutes to finish my 'business'. Then we sat at a sofa at the lobby. Saw some Man Utd fans. I thought"are they waiting for Beckham? They did say he'd come. But he's in Miami tho". And then, some guy that might be a security guy was walking in front of us. He looked at us suspiciously. So we ended up go to the cafe there instead.

A nice looking waitress served us. Cos my mouth feel weird bcos of the cappucino that i drank at Majestic, i asked for a warm water. The other girls were looking at the menu and was like "air milo RM18! Lagi mahal dari tin milo tu!". Anyway, we asked for an orange juice. Price: RM24. Only a glass. Tho we speculated how much is the warm water.

So we waited. And waited. And waited. And when it's almost 1am.
We gave up.

It was harder than stalking kpop artist and also pricier.

So we paid the bill. The warm water is Free! Haha. While we were walking out, Emi was looking at some chocolates they displayed there. The chocolates look so tasty and expensive. 1 chocolate=RM5.50.

The waitress that served us before came to us. She introduced us which is good and which one is too common. And she showed us this one tasty looking chocolate cake that ONE SLICE of it cost around RM30.

ONE slice only. And here i thought Secret Recipe has the priciest cake of all.

Then the waitress asked about us. We asked about her. And then we revealed to her that we came to see Benedict Cumberbatch. She was suprised. But she also revealed to us that many people was waiting at the hotel since morning. Maybe to meet him. And then she revealed to us that some Hollywood celebrities came to Malaysia for a holiday and stayed at that hotel before. And she also revealed that all the stuff in the hotel are imported.

The tables, chairs, the paintings, even the juice that we drank are imported.
Oh oh. Even the warm water!! Hahahahah. Lucky thing it's free.

And then, she made a sudden confession. She said that few minutes before we entered the cafe, Benedict Cumberbatch had just finished his dinner. Easily said, he was there when we were in the toilet. In the fucking toilet. While i was pooping.

Damn.

We missed him because of my poo!
And then we went home and planned to meet him at the red carpet, before the award show, on the next day. Which, we failed because we were late.

Still, we tried to meet him after the award show at the hotel.
Which i'll blog about it at the next post.
Goodnight. ♥
