I turn 27 today hihi =D

Of Men and Their BS

Hung out with girlfriends after work yesterday and the results:

Guy A: Yeah, you're pretty.
But you would look even prettier if you're thinner.
Girl A: WTF?

Guy B: Your hair ni macam nipis sangatlah. Dah nak botak
dah I tengok. I think you should go for a treatment.
Bagi rambut you tebal sikit. Nanti you nampak laaagi cantik!
Girl B: Ok =(

Guy C: I'm sorry but I'm leaving you. I've found another girl.
When I was with you, I just ikut whatever you want me to do.
But with this girl, I feel like I WANT to do everything for her.
Girl C: ......

Seriously, what the hell is wrong with all you MEN????

Even though I have never been Girl A, B or C but these real-life stories memang made my 'blood go upstairs' jugaklah. I don't know whether this is a delayed effect of watching HJNTIY or because am reading Lipstick Jungle at the moment, but my semangat GIRL POWER tu mcm ada lebih sikit laa hahaks!


Yes, we girls are crazy sometimes, but only because you guys drive us insane hehe.

P/S: Don't worry, you're OK dear. You're not the rule, you're the exception chewaaahhh wakakaka =p

Wall of Fame

After 5 months living in this house without a single nail on the wall (even jam pun sandarkan kat dinding jek before this - pemalas giler, I know hihi), we finally unwrapped all those picture frames today and hung them nicely on our blinding white wall.

Yeah yeah, I know it would be nicer if some of the feature walls are painted with a different color. But hey, it took us 5 months to drill holes in the wall, how long do you think it will take to get us to actually paint it? Muahaha! Takpe, slow and steady bebeh hehe...

We have been talking about creating our 'Wall of Fame' - inspired by the stairwell in the Walkers' lovely house in Brothers & Sisters - for quite some time already.


And I can't believe that we finally did it huyeahhh! Okay, our version is obviously not as homey as the one on TV or IKEA catalog, but it's a start right? Plus, these are about all wooden frames we've got in the house, so this will do for now. I didn't even have the energy to change some of the old pictures coz was too tired and berpeluh macam pegi sauna after this whole drilling business was done, that I straightaway went lepak dalam bilik yg beraircond tengok Gossip Girl hehe.


It kinda looks 'sparse' at the moment, but as our family grows one day, the Wall of Fame will be expanded too Insya Allah =)

Wolves on the Prowl

New Moon's wolf pack in civilian clothing looks GOOD too. The most left looks like a very boyish version of my ex-boyfriend - Wentworth Miller from Prison Break hehe. He's my favourite wolf chopppp! ;p

And this little boy is looking all MACHO now. He should maintain the extra pounds on him for good.


On another note, me and the girls went to watch Friday the 13th at lunch time today - yup, hari ini memang hari malas. It was either Friday the 13th, Star Trek (urrmmm too sci-fi & geeky) or Bohsia: Jangan Pilih Jalan Hitam (are you kidding me?).

I know for all horror-movie fans out there, this version of Friday the 13th is quite laughable. But for a non-fan like me, BLARDY HELLLL I'm not gonna watch any kind of horror movies at the cineme EVER AGAIN! Sakit jantung mcm siot okkk. Nope, never again, no thanks. And I don't care if you think I'm such a baby or whatever. I value the health of my heart too much hehe.

Cutie Pie

Eh eh eh comelnya budak niiiii =p

My Cozy Corner

TV doesn't interest me that much anymore nowadays. Is it because there's nothing really good on TV or it's just another sign of getting old? I hope it's not the latter urrkksss~

Lately, I prefer to just hibernate myself in the bedroom and lepak, reading books. (Fatma, I decided to give Tara Road a second read before you lent me your Lipstick Jungle hehe. Thanks a lot babe!)

SRB even brought the study table into our bedroom so he too could hang around in the room doing some work - sometimes ideas somehow come to me at night, he said. What are you - an engineer or a poet? Ideas come at night siottt hahaha!


The study table was put riiight beside the bed, even though there was more space elsewhere. Senang nak teros jump to the bed and tido after buat keja tgh malam, he said. Hearing this, I shook my head in disgust at first - punyalaa "rajin" pakcik ni, nak jalan few steps to the bed pon nak berkira.


But now, I think it has become one of the coziest spots in the house and I LOVE IT! Anda memang seorang GENIUS, pakcik!

I too have become a sloth now, too lazy to walk even a few steps to get to the bed. Now THAT explains the chubiness hihihi~

High School Reunion

I felt like the last long weekend went by too fast. Am still in need of another day to just lay around, being a couch potato. But before you know it, it's time to go to work again *sigh*.

Our high school reunion went well, of course. Around 40+ of us came. Even though most were the familiar faces, it's still nice to just get together and bikin kecoh or some will say 'bingit' hehe.

Arrived in the beautiful Nomad around 3.30pm and straightaway fell in love with that place. Not too extravagant (except for the RM10k rent per month bit hehe) and soo peaceful. Of course once the party started, it's peaceful NO MORE muakaka!


Everybody was supposed to come wearing their house colors - in my case, it's red - to get extra points. I thought it was not really a big deal, until I saw almost everyone else came wearing red, blue, green and yellow. Ngaaa sorry rakan2 serumahku but you know I love black coz black is slimming hehe.


Played some Win, Lose or Draw on memorable events that happened during our 5 years in college - HILARIOUS as hell! There were Lucky Draws - I didn't win anything. I am NEVER lucky when it comes to draws...sucks!


Malam - watched a slide show of our old pictures masa semua masih budak hingusan hihi, sang some songs, gossiped around hehe and ended the night with '10 Things I Hate About You'. Pics at night semua censored, sorry yah!


It was a good weekend filled with laughter and great company, I must say. Thanks to the organizers - you know who you are. Next reunion, let's go to an island pulak jommmm!

Me and My 'Love Handles'

Am going for my 10th year (out of college) reunion tomorrow at The Nomad in Bangsar.

You know how in movies, people always make a big deal about high school reunion, especially girls? They go to great lengths to ensure they look their very best (by 'best' I meant slim and voguedevass muahaha) to sort of say to everyone "Hey, look at me! My life is awesome now! I am wayyy cooler and successful compared to my years in school!"

Well...doesn't apply to me I guess. Too late for any diet whatsoever now hahah! I'll be showing up together with mah 'love handles' bebeh kehkehkeh~

Rafting at Sg. Kampar

This is gonna be a long one. Because I want to able to read this in the future and feel as if I'm really there again, doing all these fun stuff =)

So, next activity after caving was white water rafting at Sg. Kampar. After eating our lunch (lapar giler wehhh after keluar gua!), we're all set for the next adventure chewahhh. Aris, the organizer kept on telling us that we will be transferred to the starting point of rafting (which was 5km from the cave) via a lorry, not a bus, a van or something like that. We didn't believe it until we saw the lori pindah rumah waiting for us at the car park hahaks! Seriously, memang macam lembu beramai2 dlm lori just like the ones you'd usually see in the highway lawak gila! But because most of us jakun naik lori camni, memang rasa best giler kehkehkeh~

Sampai on the starting point, we all got suited up with life jackets and helmets. At this time nampak sungai je memang dah tak sabar nak terjun dah hehe.

The first thing we had to do was body rafting. This is when they will just lepaskan you dalam air, facing up, and you just have to paddle yourself in the water using your arms and legs. This is actually to familiarize yourself with the water condition and as an overview of how it'd be like bila raft terbalik nanti jeng jeng jeng. But no worries, the guide will throw you a rope for you to hold on to and pull you up to the riverbank at the end of this activitylah. Takdelah dia biar jek kita terlepas sampai KL gile ke haha!

See, this was not the first time I did this. The first time was during my sort of "Bachelorette Party" me and the girls had in KK and we did white water rafting at Kiulu River. Memang we had a whole lot of fun there and masa body rafting kat situ, the rapid was not so roughlaa so we just let the riverflow moved us while we could lalala happily enjoy the beautiful scenery.

So I wasn't really nervous this time around, although I realized that the rapid was a bit rough jugaklah for body rafting. Punyelaa excited cheer for everybody else who went before me and even 'woohooo' my heart out during my turn - chewahh berlagak giler aa kan haha! Sekali tu, bila sampai je on the rapid yg agak ganas - blu%^*&$#@%^&*$#assshhggrhh!! Air masok hidung, mulut, telinga, anak tekak, paru2 and all mannn arrrkkkkk!!!

I couldn't even see a damn thing, apetah lagi nak enjoy the viewlah kan. Siap bontot terlanggar batu adalah, blardy hell! By the time I felt the rope pulling me out of the water, memang I couldn't really breathe and was choking my guts out and start menyumpah seranah dah hahah buduh giler! Tulaaa Rina, lenkali jangan berlagak okkk kehkehkeh. Now I know how it feels to get drowned man, Na'uzubillah. But all of us survived, so rock on bebeh fuhhh~


After the traumatizing experience (tapi everybody memang buat2 cool and tahan macho laa hihi), barulaaa one of the guides gave us the the safety briefing. How to hold the paddle, how to pull up your friend yg jatuh dlm air back into the raft, what to do if the raft capsize, etc.


All 15 of us were divided into 3 groups, 3 separate rafts, with at least 1 guide in each raft. There were 10 rapids we had to go through and mannn...how do I even begin to explain the experience. Even some of the rapid names pon dah freaked us out - Paddle Breaker Rapid, Double Dekker, What Happened (so what actually happened? Raft capsized aaa dohhh haha!), Kiss Rapid (bukan org kiss sesama sendiri ok, this is batu besar2 kissing the raft ngaaaaa), etc.

When our raft went through the Paddle Breaker, memang satu paddle bengkok and satu lagi patah. Masa Double Dekker, dearest SRB got thrown out of the raft huwaarrgghh! It happened so fast, I didn't even realized when it happened coz I was probably busy screaming my lungs out that time hehe. Tiba2 jek, aikkk mana husband aku kat depan ni? Arrrkkkk Juzzz (our guide), ade org terjatuh dalam sungai toloonnggg!

And then I thought, "Shitsss, he's gonna kill me for dragging him along to this thing uh oh!" haha! But luckily, he thought it was one heck of a GREAT experience and just couldn't wait to do it again huhu~

Our boat didn't actually capsize where we were supposed to (at the What Happened Rapid), another boat did. But the whole adventure wouldn't be complete without capsizing, so at one point tu our guide instructed all of us to sit on one side of the boat purposely so that berat sebelah and eventually terbaliklah kan. So yeah, another air masok hidung, telinga, tekak, paru2 experience there. I was just glad that we got over the capsize part hehe.

At the Kiss Rapid, while the boat gedebung gedebang berlanggar dengan batu2, sekali gedebuk! My front teeth tercium siku SRB aaaaaaa sakittt cam siottt! It felt like my two front teeth cracked and fell off coz the pain was excruciating! But Alhamdulillah, since teeth are the strongest bones in a human body, my teeth were still at the right place but still sakit berdenyut gak for few hours later.

Besides minimal bruises here and there, I didn't really suffer any other kind of visible injuries. Unlike a friend, who fell off the boat like 3,4 times. Probably because she's soo kurus and ringan. Oh how I'm grateful that I'm fat and heavy now hahaha!

One of her falls - jatuh backward summersault into the water tu! Tak tipu, I kinda saw that she's actually gonna fall off based on the weird angle of her boat but didn't think that it's gonna be a full backward summerfault. Very the tragisss! And the results:


A swollen shoulder (which kinda looked like a dislocated shoulder iskkk) and a swollen cheekbone aduusssss! But she was still in good spirit even when she's in pain, so BRAVO Amilia! We're so proud of you gal!

We also stopped for few swimming sessions along the journey. Best giler mandi sungaiiii! Seeing all these pics just makes me wanna go there again aaa~


And finally, just when we couldn't paddle anymore and suara pun dah hilang due to all the screaming and laughing, we got to the end point of our rafting adventure fuuuhhh...


When we reached home around 9.30PM that night, I just dropped everything and straightaway went to bed and teros pengsan. The next day woke up feeling sore all over my body sampai I asked dear husband, eh babe I ni kena demam Chikukunya ke? Sakit seluruh sendi siottt haha!

All in all, it was a SUPER AWESOME experience. Up next, shall we conquer Kuala Kubu Bharu pulak? LET'SSSSS!

Caving at Gua Tempurung

Started our journey to Gua Tempurung, Perak right after Subuh on Saturday. If nak kena pegi keja liat gile nak bangun pagi, tapi if nak bersuka ria boleh plak kan? Hahaks!

Went to pick up Kirah in PJ before heading to Restoran Jejantas Sg. Buloh to meet the rest of the gang. Siap breakfast KFC lagi tu at 6.30am in the morning. If pikir balik, memang agak nak muntahlah jugak hehe.

Arrived at Gua Tempurung Car Park around 9am and dah start cuak with all the stories heard beforehand. Cannot panggil namalah coz takut "something else" will call you in the cave, cannot show that you're afraid coz "something else" is gonna know and it will follow you in the cave and the worst, there will be cockroaches on the cave floor coz bats' shits are their food, what the hell!

Before entering the cave, our tour guide, Michael, gave us some briefing on the dos and donts while in the cave and provided each of us with a safety helmet with headlamps. I tell you, if not because of those helmets, some of us would probably have some brain damage kot by now sebab terhantuk kat all the stalactites and stalagmites while crawling/swiming our way out of the cave.

The first few hours in the cave were kinda like an easy-ride where we got to walk on build-in platforms, climb up some ladders and just enjoy the view. Michael, being a cave enthusiast, adalaa explain to us about the stone structures and history of the cave. One of the highlights of his stories was this:

Apparently Gua Tempurung was once the hide-out place for the Japanese Communists during the Word War II. If you can see from the blurry picture, there's a clock showing it's 7 o'clock and 3 Rolls Royce cars (the last car tu nampak mcm halfway je dlm gambar ni hehe). This carving was later turned out to be the assassination of Sir Henry Gurney who was the first Inspector General of Police in Malaya. The communists were having their secret meeting to come out with the assassination plan in that exact spot in Gua Tempurung. Kuang hajaqqq punye komunis!

Somehow actually seeing and touching it gave me goosebumps dude. This is where history was made mannn! But still, ada jugak some uneducated people who added their own "history" by carving more Rolls Royce cars on a wall nearby but Michael confirmed that those are just bullshits.

Now, the next part of our adventure memang the moments that I've been waiting for! This is when all of us will get wet and dirty muahaha~


We had to slide down a 5-meter high limestone (berdarah jugaklah siku daku ouch), climbed down a cave hole and swam through the cool but muddy water, with some sharp stalactites pointing down right above our heads. At some point, we even had to do some squat-walk and crawl in the water using our elbows ala2 tentera tu chewahh. Dahlah the ground was full of batu2, sakit gak aa but it's all part of the fun hehe.

By the time we got out, memang everybody was wet and glad to see the light at the end of the tunnel hehe. But the cool water in the cave just made me even more excited to start our next activity - white water rafting at Sungai Kampar wooohooo!

And oh, all those talks about bat shits dropping in your mouth, cockroaches running around and "something else" following you in the cave were either just talks or happened somewhere else. We didn't see a single bat (just their shits with awful smell) or cockroach pun. And there wasn't any 'kejadian mistik' berlaku, Alhamdulillah. So it's all goood bebeh~
