eid this year

     

     
       "I think that's all for today. Here's your pay. Thanks for your help these few days ya." Cik Mira said while fishing out several red notes from her purse. Hazry quickly wiped sweat off his face before taking them from her frail hands. Walking away from the grocery store, he grinned with satisfaction; he now had enough money to fulfil his little princess' wish.

     "Wow, that's beautiful dress you have, Balqis!" Aryssa exclaimed with awe as soon as the little girl stepped into her lawn, Hazry standing right behind her.          
        
          "Pretty, right?! Abang give it to me!" she answered happily before rushing into the living room to show off her adorable clothes to another kids who have already been there for Aryssa's open house.

     

          Aryssa moved her attention towards the boy standing before her. "And you. I thought you said you wanted that expensive Nike tee as your eid apparel?" 

     

          "Well, anything for the little princess." Aryssa nodded, a sign that she understood.  Meanwhile, Hazry shot a naughty up-and-down look on Aryssa, making the girl who was dressed in soft pink kebaya nyonya blushed. She took hold of the clothing covering his arms and pulled him towards the door.

        

           "Come on in. Athirah, Risa, Haikal and Danny has been waiting for you. Also, I made your favourite nasi tomato." He chuckled a little as they went into the house together.      

chrome add ons

you can say i'm biased towards google chrome, because i've been using firefox since forever. (logically, internet explorer is totally out of question. it's old, slow and useless. it's unfortunate i can't delete it from the system). 

but as time goes on, i was influenced, bit by bit, because i just can subtract the fact that chrome is indeed google's child and gmail and blogger, which is also google's, have been my favourite.

so i'm thinking perhaps i could try to be chrome user in my next laptop, an idea that comes just in perfect relation with the entry of "google add-ons" in webuser 8 september 2011. (because i love add-on. my internet life is lifeless if they're absent). so i'm just gonna share the add-ons in this post.

i havent use these add-ons, so i'm not sure whether it's really good. i hope they are.

1. stayfocusd http://bit.ly/stay274

it's an add-on that limit the amount of time you can spend on a website. firstly you gotta set the amount of time, say, 2 hours per day on facebook. when the time allocated is used, it will block facebook. fin. 

perfect for my addictive frequent visit on memebase, quickmeme and lamebook

2. google dictionary extension http://bit.ly/dictionary274

an unknown word appeared!

double click on the word!

meaning attack!

pronunciation attack!

= unknown word is captured!

also, work on foreign word.

heaven

3. hide friends from facebook http://bit.ly/hide274

let you hide people from your facebook without the need to unfriend them.

a miracle tool if i need to befriend a lot of people when i started playing facebook games. hoo!

so there's what i like. the entry actually include, like, 20 of add-ons but which i found of no use to me, which can be found below.

4. block junk website from google search http://bit.ly/personal274

5. change appearance of web pages http://bit.ly/style274

6. find and mute noisy tab www.mutetab.com

7. always new tab on the front http://bit.ly/tabs274

8. block certain websites with "Web Access Blocked" message, particularly from children http://bit.ly/webfilter274

9. share content on multiple social network http://bit.ly/sync274

i'm not responsible for any problem caused by these things. just sharing.

4.04am

several days before the new semester started, i had recurring thought about what would happen if out of nowhere my laptop crashed and burnt. and today, it has become a reality. maybe that's what they call intuition. or bad premonition. 

it was really stressing me out, psychologically and economically. spending money to buy a new one would require me to ask money from my parents for the next 3 month. which is embarrassing enough. my laptop had been my best friend since 2009, and now i feel lost, because i had personalized it that it had become almost a depiction of myself. luckily because of the paranoia i mentioned earlier, i managed to save some data in my external hard disk.

i asked Mr. R to lend his laptop to me because he was just about having his vacation after UPSR. we planned to meet up right after his tuition class tonight, but i overslept till 11.3o with my handphone turned off. the moment i woke up, the guilt was choking me. he already went back home. he yelled at me. but he went back here to give me his laptop.

now, whenever i think about how fast he could forgive me and rushed to my assistance, i feel guilty.

because when i was mad at him, i would make it hard for me to forgive him.

just because.

...

lesson learnt, and now i know why i stay with him all these years.

just some things i found

peanut cookies

     "What's with all these heads-down thing? Look at me," Hazry said as his hands tugged the girl's chin upwards. A wide grin appeared on his face as soon as he understood what was going on. Just like a little pearl, a pimple was growing in the middle of Aryssa's forehead, which considering the girl's flawless skin, would bring much  attention to the little 'gem'.

     "It's Abang Kimi's fault.  He brought home this delicious peanut cookies, and I just can't resist..." Aryssa commented with a cute little pout, which made Hazry chuckled.

     "You know even with zits like that all over your face, you would still be the cutest girl I've ever found." 

     "No way."

     "You think I go for looks? Okay, I did when choosing my favourite actress. But when it's someone that I would have to spend time under this cherry tree with, talking with her for hours, sharing my present and past with her, I want someone lovable, just the way you are now."

third day of eid

is the most tiring day. together with papa's siblings and their family, we went to houses in which the older generation resides. it was not really tiring, because we only entered the house, shake hands with the grandpas and grannies, eat a bit cookies (ha! actually i eat a LOT!), drink a bit beverages and eventually left the house. but OH BOY did i was relieved when everything is over. what makes it so painful? the friggin' hot weather! i was sweating like madness that made walking seems like a 100m sprint. 

and here's one picture mama, ayu and i took at one of the houses we visited that day, please ignore my messed up hijab and my pale-because-the-lipstick-is-long-gone-with-cookies-crumbs-and-cordial-drinks lips.

 

second day of eid

is practically a relaxing day. mama and i went to square one to catch any new movie. but because the malay movie is oh-so-ew,seriously? (seriously, unless it's for free i won't spend even a cent to watch karipap-karipap cinta and hantu bonceng. who the hell had the urge to name their film with such name as karipap anyways? duh~) so we decided to watch final destination 5. not bad, i'm fine with gruesome movies. ( okay that's a lie. i still can't bring myself to watch chronicles of saw.) but final destination is another kind of gruesome, because in the characters die in some sort of twisted fate, not because a serial killer with a chainsaw is running a killing spree neither do they are being forced to kill their friends to get a key out of his stomach. other than it's thrill, if anything, final destination made me a little more careful in making decision. good movie, i would say.

and i also got a new pair of shoes, black ones because i kinda forgotten to buy one in darker shades when i went to buy shoes two days ago. but it's okay, i got three new pairs now heehee
