It's our birthday today.
Is it just me or, after half a century, the celebration is way quieter this year? There were less flags around, less TV adverts (other than the always amazing Petronas ad; the one with Afdlin Shauki in it), and less hoo-haa about the whole independent day celebration this year.
Prolly it is overshadowed by the current affairs which everyone is still busy discussing about.
As a younger generation, I wish that the "powerful" "wiser" people would concentrate more on how to help the RAKYAT instead of their own agendas; whatever that may be. Concentrate more on the real stuffs please...such as the rakyat's health and the medical care.

Anyhooo...who am I to say anything pun..haha..shy only.

Happy Merdeka, peeps! =)

ESA (e-shopaholic anonymous)

Hi everyone.
My name is Farissa and I'm an e-shopaholic.

Omg...This whole affair with e-shopping has got to stop. But somehow it is so addictive (plus seductively easy!) and I just can't help it!!! I have end of posting exam for all 3 departments I've been to for the past 6 weeks and all I did for the past 2 hours was surfing and browsing and jumping from one e-boutique to another. And when I actually realized what I was doing, I did some math and well guess what, I have just spent over a hundred ringgit for a few dresses and tops plus a pair of denim leggings and a high waisted shorts.

Yikes!

Beyond ordinar-e

This movie is, by far, the most enjoyable animated movie ever produced. It is so charming and hilarious at the same time, even without any script at all for the two main characters other than the occasional "wallie" and "evaahh".
Utterly adorable.

"Aaaayang angat" says Ema.


(Above: Everyone + Ema; Below: Everyone +Dalia)

After our gastronomic holiday in Penang, we've been wanting to go for another round of holiday + good food. It's almost impossible to find a date (let alone a whole weekend) where everyone is free. After a lot of failed discussions, we decided to just go with the seafood dinner idea (I'm not sure whose). Hashley took us to a seafood restaurant in Port Klang and we had ikan siakap 3 rasa, sotong goreng tepung, udang masam manis, and kailan and kangkung goreng. YUMMMMEH!

So when's the next BGFFs and BILs dinner, girls? I miss you guys already! =(

"Stay" is a charming word in a friend's vocabulary.

Well, if you think that sad SOB liar is worth or even equivalent to our 11 years of friendship, very well then, go ahead. I'm tired of trying to make you not forget 'you & me', of trying my level best to not grow apart, and of trying my best to not care about you being so ignorant of how I feel when you made that decision. It's not that I did not try to reason out your actions but each time I think about it, or talk about it, the conclusion is always "You should've known better if you really are a friend."
I'm tired.
And I'm sad.
You were my dearest friend and I loved you dearly.
And this is what I get in return?
Thanks, babe.
Whatever lah, as long as you're happy.

This girl is really really gutsy! She stood in front of hundreds of delegates during a United Nations meeting and gave them a piece of her mind. Hear what she has got to say..

The 23rd

Ahhh...I finally have the time to write this overdue entry..I've been very extremely busy with Ophtalmology (eye) posting for the past one week that I don't even have time to eat lunch..Every morning I had to leave home for clinic at 7.30am and will only be back at 7pm and there were no breaks in between.
Anywayyyyy, I've been wanting to blog about the eventful weekend I had last week. As some of you may already know, my birthday was last week and this year the date was 080808 (banyak 'ong' laa). My BGFFs, BILs (boyfriend-in-laws, that is...Zaza came up with it) and of course my beloved boyfriend planned a dinner for the August babies (Me, Ema, Tasha and Arshad) at a beautiful restaurant, Vincenzo in One Bangsar. The restaurant was beautifully decorated and we've got our own room complete with our own private bar(not that we drink, just to give u an idea of how spacious the place was). The dinner was amazing..we ate scruptious italian food, we laughed, we sang, and best of all...we took gadzillion pictures! Hehe..Dalia just bought a DSLR so now we have 2 DSLR in the family! =)
I had loads of fun that night...thank you Sayang, Zaza, Dalia, Shida, Mel, Sakinah, Faratiya, Nurul, Hashley, Pez, Zaim, and Haikal for the green and purple balloons (our fav colours!), the cutest cakes ever, the dinner, everything lah! I am blessed to have such amazing friends, Alhamdulillah...=)
Here are a 1/500 of the pictures that we took that night..enjoy!!

August Babies

HAPPY 23rd BIRTHDAY TO THESE 3 BEAUTIFUL AND AMAZING FRIENDS OF MINE..MAY ALLAH BLESS ALL OF YOU

Azlul Malihah Zaghlol (1st August)
She has the energy like the Energizer bunny. Funny, witty and a true blue friend. Spreads joy and laughter wherever she goes. Our very own Little Miss Sunshine. =)

Tasha Qhairunnisa Ahmad Mahir (1st August)
A friend since the first week of primary school. We became closer as time went by and now we are closer than ever before. Btw, can't you just tell from this picture how kinky she is?

Azlan Abdul Malek (4th August)
He was there for me for the past 10 years. The ups and the downs. He's my best friend, Azlan =)

And last, of course, not the least, to my other half, my reason, my everything-lah,
Mohd Rushdan Khairul Anuar (3rd August)
You know how much I love you and you know how much you mean to me; how important you are to me. My life's perfect just because you're in it.
Happy 23rd Birthday, peach.


And to the rest of you whose birthdays are in August, HAPPY BIRTHDAY to you too!! =)

Summer is officially here

Some of you may know, come summer (in the western countries), I will be M.I.A during the weekends and my blog will somewhat become "quieter".
Yes. He's back =) and this time, he's gonna be here until end of October!!! Yay!
My weekend was busy but fun fun fun! On Friday, we had dinner with my family at Tarbush Restaurant in conjunction of our birthdays (mine is on the 8th and Adan is on the 3rd) and also advanced farewell dinner for my sister who is leaving for US next week. The food was ok..I went there with high expectations as I've read reviews from a few food critiques' blogs where they said that the food was exceptional. For me, I prefer Bukhara in KLCC. They serve better lamb briyani.
Next morning we went to KL Convention Centre for PICOM PC Fair because I wanted to get myself a printer. The place was packed with people (expectedly) and this year it's bigger than ever..they used the whole building, all 3 floors, all 6 halls plus the banquet and the 2 ballrooms. Those who weren't there, I bet you can just imagine the sight, the humid-ness, and the smell (bau tinggal teruk k!). Went to Ema's for lunch after that where we had delicious pasta and fruits and chocolate fountain (Zaza was in heaven). After Ema's, we went to Jeumpa d'Ramo for Bijou Bazaar...I was hoping to get a few things but I guess since we arrived kinda late, the nice stuffs were already gone and plus, there were just too many people which made it hard for us to see and find stuff. At least one of us did purchase something...Adan was a happy camper when he saw there was a booth selling soda kampung; which according to him, it taste different from today's soda (F&N, Coke, etc)...my opinion was otherwise. I thought it tasted the same...hehe
After Bijou, we went for a nice dinner at Bubba Gump (he has been pestering me to bring him there, and so I did..) and, that was it for the day..=) wanted to watch a movie..but since it's the weekend, so of course there was no tickets available...I guess we are the only one in this planet who hasn't seen The Dark Knight...sigh..next weekend hopefully...
