What made big-time computer company Dell think that putting three giggly girls on TV are going to attract people's attention and get them interested in buying their products? You're selling computers, not Barbie! Clearly, i'm not the target audience.
So, i bought my uniform yesterday with Dee. It was crazy coz firstly, i couldn't decide on which colour i would most probably like to wear to school. There's 5 diff. colours for the top and 3 diff. colours for the bottom; skirt and pants. I already had a headache looking for shoes last week, and now my uniform too? It's been chaotic, what with the choosing of the colours and the size, and they were so MEAN! It'll do you no harm to be nice and tactful, you know? So i bought it all in a rush. I have to say tho, that the most comfortable piece of clothing i have for school, would be the PE Bermudas. i deliberately got it in a size bigger. i could sleep in it! Seeing that yesterday was also the first day of uniform sales, there was a LOT of people and some of these people may be my to-be classmates. Quite a few familiar faces actually...
So with a $100 worth of "shopping", Dee and i walked out of the school in the hot sun and got a cab almost instantaneously. And we thought, hey, it's our lucky day!
NOT.
The apek driver started to scold us for God-knows-what and when he saw our weird expressions, he started talkin bout how he's not a bad person. He's Weird! so all me and Dee could do was "oh...Eh?......ya....hmm...haha....". He talked non-stop bout his bank-manager daughters, the condo he lives in, his Goldlion outfit and how his friend told him he should be a cabinet minister. Seriously, he speaks as thought he's trying to imitate Lee Hsien Loong. "Problems are inevitable in this world". While i thought that was a rather interesting quote, the way he bullshitted non-stop only left me pissed.
And did i mention that yesterday is the mother of all money wastage? MY money wastage that is. I took 3 diff cabs yesterday when i told myself to take the train. And all these just for a bag? I hate myself.
Body Combat in less than 5 hours!! i can't wait!!

Guess who Shahida and i bumped into while shopping at Dorothy Perkins & Topshop at Suntec? Charlie from High 5! She's my favourite High-Fiver coz she's so cute and sweet. haha. i can't believe myself. i don't even watch High 5 but i know their names and some of their songs. "Hide your eyes and count to 10, ready or not....im gonna find you again.."
Teeheeee. Shahidah didn't even recognize her until i pointed it out. And it seemed like we were the only people in the shop who knew who she was. Something that took place after that totally affected our shopping trip, but i shall keep it between between Shahida and me *wink* 1, 2, 3, 4, High 5!
Do you people remember this lame teen malay show, Bara, last time? There was this guy who played a character called Ayie and is quite a good-looker. While Shahida and i were walkin outside Raffles City, we saw this guy in uniform standing beside a CISCO van. And guess who it was? It's that Ayie guy! Agaknya salah orang, but im positive it's him. i alerted Shahida and she was like "hey, he's cute..but who's he?". Soon after that, we saw someone who was a dead ringer for Ari Wibowo! And yeah, if you hadn't guessed it already, Shahida didn't knoe who that is either.
Anyhooo, our outing on Friday had been a blast. We both bought something from Dorothy Perkins. I got this top that Shahidah made me try on. That was one top i never thought i could pull off but i'm glad i decided to try it on coz i LURRVE it. Cool green, kinda like teal. In fact, i might just get one more in orange or purple. I'm goin back there tomorrow to get a bag i reserved. Yay.
laughing makes your eyes look small....so small....

Gavin DeGraw kicks ass! I'm gonna buy his album, Chariot. I will, I shall, I must! I fell in love ever since i first heard Follow Through a looong time ago. His voice is so husky & sexy. And his music's simple yet passionate and enlivening...heck, his music's awesome. Kinda like a livelier and edgier Matt Hales, but still with the piano. I'm enthralled. After Bo Bice sang I Don't Want to Be in the American Idols, im lovin' the song even more. Kinda disappointed that common-face, Carrie Underwood won instead of him. Oh well. Rezeki dia. Now, where's my Chariot?
Rob Thomas on the other hand, is disappointing. He was doin well with Matchbox 20. And then suddenly i see him without his sexy curls and he's going " I don't wanna be lonely no more....". Rob, what are you doing shaking your butt like Ricky Martin in your vid?! tsk. Well, at least you're better at it than William Hung. I'll give you that :)

I Don't Want To Be - Gavin DeGraw
I don't need to be anything other than a prison guard's son
I don't need to be anything other than a specialist's son
I don't have to be anyone other than the birth of two souls in one
Part of where I'm going is knowing where I'm coming from
Chorus
I don't want to be anything other than what I've been trying to be lately
All I have to do is think of me and I have peace of mind
I'm tired of looking 'round rooms wondering what I gotta do
Or who I'm supposed to be
I don't want to be anything other than me
I'm surrounded by liars everywhere I turn
I'm surrounded by imposters everywhere I turn
I'm surrounded by identity crisis everywhere I turn
Am I the only one to notice?
I can't be the only one who's learned
Chorus
Can I have everyone's attention please
If you're not like this and that
You're gonna have to leave
I came from the mountain, the crust of creation
My whole situation made from clay to stone
And now I'm telling everybody
I don't want to be anything other than what I've been trying to be lately
All I have to do is think of me and I have peace of mind
I'm tired of looking 'round rooms wondering what I gotta do
Or who I'm supposed to be
I don't want to be anything other than me
I don't want to be
I don't want to be
I don't want to be
I don't want to be

Heeaaaaarrrggggghhhhhhhh!!! Body Combat is so fun!! Exhausting, but awesome.
Today, i went for my first Body Combat class at CDANS Country Club. It's so damn blurdy fun lor! The instructor is this pleasant guy and everybody else in the class was super-enthu. I was obviously the youngest, so those older ladies and some guys were like "It's gonna be very tiring but just think about having fun!" And it really was, have i mentioned that already? All the punching and jumping and kicking. I never knew i could kick that high! And the shouting is indeed a stress-reliever, for the stressed. For me, it was empowering. All the "HAAAAK!", "HEEYAAK!" and "HURGH!!". Unlike my previous Aerobics class, which made me feel like as if i was in P.E... In fact, P.E. was so much fun-er! And how could i forget, i got to wear my new trainers!
I'm not looking forward to the aching muscles but i'm psyched to attend the next class! In fact, im so excited to work out, i think im gonna go to the gym tomorrow. It's been a while since those people last saw my face, anyway.

My head hurts! My family & I went shopping for my shoes today. Trainers, for school. I've decided to get it early and use it once in a while so they won't look so BRAND NEW on my first day of school.
So, we went from one shop to another and another and another. When i pointed at one i liked, my dad will go, "Too plain" or "Too flat" to another. I was getting so fed up, and my head was crying out for help from looking at gazillions of trainers. Nike, Adidas, Reebok, Asics, New Balance...
Anyway, we finally agreed on a pair by Nike. It has a pink swoosh on the sides. I know, so typically Fiza to choose something with pink on it. The more i look at it and the more i try it on, the more i LOVE it. And then, i wanted to see how it will look like with a skirt so i took out my secondary school skirt from deep inside my wardrobe and put it on. I never realized how comfortable it was! So i ended up spending the rest of the night in my secondary school skirt and my new trainers. Haha.

No matter how much older i get, how many times my computer has been rebooted, how many times i move house, how many people i meet, how many schools i've been to...I will never forget these songs. Don't ask why. When i can't find anything new to listen to, these are my top choice list of songs that i'll listen to. You should try listening to them.
Mmm Mmm Mmm - Crash Test Dummies. remember that one?
then there's...
Sex & Candy - Marcy Playground
Closing Time - Semisonic
Clutch - Shea Seger
Virtual insanity - Jamiroquai
House of Jealous Lovers - the Rapture
If anyone were to ask me what music genres i like in particular, i wouldn't have an answer. I'd rather not limit my choices in music. A lot of music artistes or bands find themselves classified/categorized under multiple genres/sub-genres, which is great coz it means wider selection for the masses...right? No? Take for instance, Gorillaz. Some say they're Hip-Hop & Rap, while some say they're Indie Rock. i think they're out to confuse us, that's all. Gorillaz rock my world. The animated band, that is. Feel Good Inc, anyone?
I also find that a lot of people choose the music they listen to, according to what they think (or they think others think) is cool or uncool which i find, ironically, uncool. Thus, the "What? You listen to ____?? EWW!". Blurgh, screw them.
I used to hate Dance/Electronic music because i thot onli "Ah Bengs & Ah Lians" listened to them. Not anymore. I like Electronic music, so sue me. But that doesn't stop me from listening to good old alternative/rock or any other types of music, for that matter. In fact, there are a lot of bands who play a fusion of electronic and rock. Can u hear the Hallelujah chorus? I can't, coz im Muslim :)
And then i hear people say, "It's not real music because they don't PLAY the instruments".
So, dangdut anyone?
Teeeheeeeeeee.

I love Tokyo!
I wanna go back there...Tokyo's great! I have an advice though, do not just smile at anyone, even if ur just being friendly!
Yours truly was taking a night stroll by herself near Ikebukuro. I was pretty confident at first, but when i bumped into this nice young lady who was also in the group, i decided to ask her along. So we walked, and walked and tried to NOT freeze to death beneath our layers of clothings. There were a lot of buildings and bright lights and funky Japanese people. We finally arrived at this particular park near our hotel that had a large empty, open area that was clearly built to hold regular outdoor events. There was a stage at one end, so that lady (i forgot her name..Sheila? Melissa? Charmaine?...nevermind) and i went to rest on the steps in front of the stage coz the benches along the sides were taken.
And then we chatted for while. It was about 11pm i think. After a while, an ang moh guy walked past us while looking at us in a freaky way. Not perverted or retarded...but more mysterious. Partly coz he was dressed like Sherlock Holmes with his long coat and his hat. Only thing he lacked was a magnifying glass. Honestly speaking, i was kinda apprehensive coz the guy looked at us weird like if we did something wrong he's gonna call up his gang and beat us up to a pulp. (We saw a lot of those african-american guys at a few junctions at Ikebukuro and i was told that a lot of gang activities occured there.) So, nervous and not knowing what to do, i smiled. BAD MOVE. The guy smiled back and proceeded to stand at a corner and continued staring at us. I alerted my company and we bolted out of there immediately.
I wonder what he was thinking? Surely couldn't have mistaken us for those kinda "girls" did he? We weren't dress sluttily enuff! In fact, i was a slob. But i dun think that's it...coz he didn't look like he had any perverted intentions at all. In fact, it felt like i was in a movie and a bad guy knew something i don't and he's been following me around, watching my every move. Ok Fiza, movie's over. time to sleep...Good Night er, morning everyone!

You know what? I miss my friends. It's true, I miss you people!
I was at Jurong Point (again!) today. This was what happened:
After having a quick (okay, not so quick) dinner at Banquet, we walked out of Banquet and tried to make it through the heavy flow of people...and guess who i found hopping and skipping from afar, like a little bunny all excited and red coming my direction? SUHAILA! I didn't know what came over us but when she reached me and i saw her, we couldn't stop jumping and squealing. Like those girls we always made fun of. Weird. Heck, we've always been weird. Anyway, I couldn't control myself, i really missed her! When we finally came to our senses and sober-ized from the excitement, we ended with pleasantries and promised to hang out soon. Girls.
After THAT, i bumped into Aishah! She was my classmate in Sec 1 & 2. If there was anyone who KNEW me at my most selenge-est pre-teen phase, it's her. She's still the same, but when i bumped into her and talked to her, after soo long...It hit me real hard. I really miss my secondary school friends. Where are you people?
While we're still at "Friends", i'm making an effort to stay in touch with most, if not all, my friends. i think i've had enough of "alone" time. Solitude is great, but too much of it can drive u nuts. I'm really looking forward to lunch with Leah next week! Where's a good place...Any suggestions? Oh yeah, and Shahidah for her haircut tomoro...

What can i say? i get bored easily...Very easily. Hence, the change in my blog layout.
Anyway, i just got a haircut just now. I meant to wait, and get my hair cut at Far East Plaza tomorrow but i could no longer tolerate the weight and thickness of my hair. As i was getting myself ready to go out with Shahidah yesterday, i just sat in front of the mirror...wax in one hand, hairspray in the other and my mind went blank. My hair was too thick and too heavy to be styled. I HAD TO HAVE A HAIRCUT. (that explains why my self-confidence had been pretty low the past couple of weeks. Where's my Crowning Glory?!)
So when my Mom suggested we went out for dinner, i suggested a visit to the salon. When we were at Jurong Point tho, all the hair salons were closed except for Jantzen. Damn. I was kinda looking forward to get my hair done at SandStorm. So i had no choice but to go to Jantzen and pray hard that Dino is working his shift tonight. Damn, he's not.
Unfriendly receptionist, staff using their phones openly while lounging merata tempat in the salon. If my principal had seen the state of the salon, she would've immediately pointed out what was wrong...EVERYTHING, except for the hairstylist who did my hair. I don't expect too much from them...i mean, they're not exactly Toni & Guy but Jantzen is pretty reputable considering that they have quite a number of outlets islandwide. but the service i got was disappointing. ok ok, maybe its because it was half an hour to closing time and they're tired...but still?
I need to shop...i don't care.

Anna Wintour. Love her or hate her?
She decided to finish her education at the age of 18 (my age!). In May 1997, she had revealed that her career had got off to a "shaky start" following that decision. But look where she is now. She's a woman of power in the fashion world. Just search for "Anna Wintour" in Yahoo! and you'll get so many articles on her. You'll also find that these articles speak of how powerful she is, while others hate the Cold-Hard Bitch that she is.
So who is Anna Wintour, you ask?
Anna Wintour was born on November 3, 1949 (6 days, 38 years earlier than my birthday!) in London, England. She is the Editor-in-Chief of Vogue magazine, a position she has held since 1988. A Vogue staff had once said (i think his name is William Norwich), ''At Vogue we worship one god. Her name is Anna Wintour." whoa. Some people love her because she has the power to turn a nobody into a SOMEBODY. "She's a fashion goddess!", you'll hear them say.
The book Devil Wears Prada was written about her except author, Lauren Weisenberg didn't actually use her name and the magazine Vogue. In the book, she's portrayed in a character named Miranda Priestly -- the all-powerful editor of Runway magazine-- , and her poor assistant, Andrea Sachs. Andrea's goal is to score a job with "The New Yorker" (that's a newspaper) and Miranda promises her a job, anywhere she wants if she can last a year at Runway. Little did she know that Miranda is the-boss-from-HELL.
My first time reading the book, I hated Miranda to boot - despite being impressed by the amount of power she holds- and felt that Andrea was an idiot but i couldn't really relate to it.
After a stint last year though, i now know what it's like to work for a motherfreaking BITCH. or in my case, BITCHES. The kind where the only thing that keeps you going is an image of you giving her a Flying Kick, pulling off her hair and leaving her with bald patches, and swallowing her whole! Thank you, Ally Mcbeal :)
A tribute to bosses from hell.
----------The End----------
While writing this post, my computer kept going crazy and i kept losing my almost-finished post. Damn it. BUT, i was determined to finish and publish this post even if i had to retype it repeatedly. This is for you, suckers!

My weekend was a BLAST!
Friday, i was out with Aishah. Have u been to the new Marina Square? It's not ready yet but it looks totally different! No longer "ULU". It's about time they had a makeover anyway, seeing that it's right beside the Esplanade.
Guess where i spent my Saturday evening? I was at the NIGHT SAFARI! I've never been there before and that was my first time. Night Safari-virgin no more! I had so much fun, i felt like an 8 yr-old! When we first stepped in, there was this platform near the entrance where you could take a snapshot, using your own camera,with an Owl, Python and a Serval for a minimum donation of $5.
So there's a guy with a Python around his neck on the "stage" and another guy who collects the donation and stamp your hand. I was so excited to take a pic with the Python but my sister hates (read: fears) snakes. So while i was quequing she came to me and said, "Fiz, why don't you ask the guy to help you take the picture. I scared my hand shake!". And that guy heard her and said, "Tenang aja, tenang aja." The way he said that, i assumed he was Indonesian working at the Night Safari. And then i heard him talk to other tourists then the way he spoke to me...he thought MY SIS & I were Indonesians! muahahaha....
The rest of the trip was really super fun, the tram, the Creatures of The Night Show, the walk trails, the suspension bridge. However, if you really wanna enjoy yourself, don't go with someone yang tak reti nak diam, someone who's afraid of the dark, someone yang ngada-ngada, someone who's.....u get the drift. I LOVE THE NIGHT SAFARI!!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
On Sunday, i went to A LOT of Malay weddings. Been a long time since i last went to one. That Sunday however, was a relatively star-studded one. At one of the weddings, we saw a lot of old-skool singers including Maria Bachok, Taufik Batisah's aunt.
Now, do any of you people know this old rock band from the late 80s-early 90s, "Last-Minute"?
You see, i've never actually heard any of their songs. At my grandma's old house, everytime i walk to into my uncle's room, there will be this big framed poster at the corner of the room. It's a poster of this old band "Last minute" and my uncle was the guitarist in the band. I didn't think much of it until last Sunday when i went to a wedding at Bukit Panjang.
I was at the wedding with my uncle, his wife, my grandma and my family. Then my uncle saw his old friend who came over to say hi to all of us. Then my mom asked,"Where's your wife?". And this vivacious lady came over and salam everyone in a "long time no see" manner. While all this was happening my sister was quietly narrating to poor, blur me.
Sis: This guy was in the band together with Ucu (my uncle).
Me: Which band?
Sis: Last-minute lah. Oh and that's his wife, Manisah. Don't pray-pray okay, last time she very popular....
Me: How come?
Sis: Coz she was the vocalist of Last-Minute!
Me: What?? You mean that's the lady in that poster ?? You mean Last-Minute was actually famous back then??
Sis: Well, they were one of the well-knowned local rock bands last time.
Me: So, Ucu was also popular back then??
I still don't really know how famous they were. Then yesterday, my parents has the radio station "RIA" on and they played this old song. And my dad went, "Ah there..this is Last-Minute lah. U knoe that lady we met yesterday? That's her singing..." As i listened on, the DJ mentioned that this song is to be released in a new compilation CD & VCD (DVD?) karaoke. That's why they are having this Rock Singing Competition every week at TKC.
hahahaha...my weekend was a BLAST!
Now, i'm going out with Shahidah.

Did anybody watch "UP CLOSE" last night on Channel News Asia? I still remember what that lady said about how when u spent too much time planning & thinking about something, you'll be scared to jump in and take a risk. or something like that.
Well, watching that makes me miss my Debating days. Being in the school Debate Team was one of the memorable experiences from secondary school. I got to represent my school in all 3 rounds. (If not for biaseness on the organizer's part, we could've won that particular round, u suckers!)
Firstly, coz all who were in it were INVITED to join. There were only 11 of us, and we had debate pratice almost every single day with our Debate Coach, Mr Loke. This is one cool guy i tell you! He's crude and vulgar, he's loud & blatant and he's a good debate coach! He's hilarious but he's so mean that you hang on to anything good that comes out of his mouth. And when he praised me once, it really touched me and made my day.
Mr Loke, we miss you! We would stay in school and discuss & talk & debate until the school attendant would come chasing after us, wanting to lock the school at 7pm. haha, and thanx to him...we got to meet up with his Japanese debating students, and got to meet people from all over the world during the World Debate Championships 2 years ago. i didn't really believe you could be good-looking AND smart until i went to that. (not trying to say im smart :P ) Maybe its coz all the good-looking (not so smart) were mingling wif the smart (not so good-looking) ones. gosh, there were Orlando Blooms and Elijah Woods and other cute actor & actress lookalikes. And all the diff. langs and accents. Did we feel left out? YOU BET...in our own country at that.
Anyway, i'm going out with Aishah.

it's raining! cool weather at last. but i still love the sun nonetheless. As hot and sweaty and melekit as u get, the bright Sun never fails to give a cheerful feel to the day.
I think it's a growing trend to post Hate-Tags. I know of quite a few people whose blogs have been bombarded with Hate-Tags. Itulah kan orang-orang ni..terlebih masa sampai dah takda kerja menyusahkan hidup orang lain. What inspired the Hate-Tagger to say those things to the recipient, anyway? It cant all be the Hate-Tagger's fault, can it? Takkan takda ribut, takda angin tiba-tiba aje terasa nak memusnahkan ketenteraman orang lain, kenal atau tidak? They probabyl feel "menyampah"/"meluat" when reading the blog and feel tempted to say sinister things to hurt si Sang Blogger.
sigh. Dia punya suka lah dia nak cakap apa yang kau susah tu kenapa?
However, the blogger shouldn't be so eager to get all defensive and start rebutting and counter-attacking si Sang Hate-Tagger. There might be truth in what si Sang Hate-Tagger said eventho it wasn't expressed in the most polite way. Maybe si Sang Blogger is really sombong in real life and has hurt feelings of many unsuspected acquaintances.
Some blog-readers were probabyly exasperated (or jealous?) to boot when si Sang Blogger tu kononnya, "bragging". Hmm, is it wrong to be happy with what you have? Maybe you can call it "Bragging" if you're forcing people to read your boastful posts in the blog...but i'm pretty sure most people read blogs out of their own accord. which simply means that you can leave the blog if you're not happy with it..
In other words, i can talk about Dewa as often as i want to and you can't stop me :)
Maybe i should start bragging about something and see if i get a Hate-Tag...to up the atmosphere of my blog, ya know? But i've nothing to brag about. No killer looks. No highflying job with bucketfuls of moolah (one day, insyaAllah. hehe). No Prada, no Gucci. but im thankful for what i already have. Great family, great friends. And im contented with the way my life is but im gonna work hard to make it even better. Syukur Alhamdulillah.

help.
i can't seem to be able to fall sleep. i think sleeping and waking up early requires some kind of skill or talent that i lack. It takes a lot of effort to fall asleep and the it's the same thing when it comes towaking up. I gotta admit it...i'm no morning person but i luv early mornings precisely bcoz im rarely ever awake to relish the morning fresh air and the rising sun. This is gonna be really hard when i start school...I'm gonna have to wake up at like, 6 in the morning coz i take eons to get ready. 6?? boy this is gonna be tough. i didnt think it was anything to worry about until that day when i asked my granma y she never asked me along to the airport to fetch my aunt. She said, " Coz i know u can't wake up early, that's why i never asked".
C'mon, it cant be thaaaat bad? Well, i've realized that it IS that bad as my friends & family have never failed to make it clear to me...
"Fiza, don't be late tau....i'll call u tmr morning and wake u up!" - said Friend A.
"I've set the alarm clockS for you. Remember to go to the bank tmr...don't be late!" -said Dad.
argh.
ok ok i'll deal with it.
as for now, i can't sleep and i've changed the video. Coz everytime i open up my blog, the video will start playing automatically and the guitar intro in the Foo Fighters vid is very the teramat memeranjatkan. So Fiza has changed the vid to Bjork's Oceania.
For the clueless ones, the "j" in Bjork is pronounced like a "y". Thank you very much. So please don't come to me and say, "Hey Fiza, that song by BJORK is really nice", like as if ur talking about some endangered bird i've yet to learn about. BJORK. hurhurhur.

ok i just got back from Malaysia yesterday. and i managed to stabilise my head.
kampung was so super fun. my big family, my uncles, aunties, cousins and both my grandneneks were there. it was so jolly! my uncle cracked crazy jokes the whole time and everyone was laughing out loud sampai sakit perut. it didnt matter tho coz the neighbours
weren't close enuff to be able to hear & complain.
on the 2nd night, there was a blackout and it was pitch black! but we placed candles all over the house and we survived. it was fun-er than the blackout in Singapore! haha..being in the middle of a blackout in HDB flats is one thing..but this time it was a blackout in a kampung that is surrounded by the forest, lots of trees, deserted little road and many noisy people. Thrilling indeed.
We also went to KL...and everyone was so kecoh. We took the Monorail & the LRT and the Komuter. The Monorail was SO SCARY. it was like riding on a rollercoaster, the track was super narrow, and it was going so fast. I was so typically tourist with my digicam snappinng pictures whenever possible. The kecohness was mortifying but it made our trip memorable.
What i hated about the trip tho, was the fact that out of so many days in a year, we had to be in KL on the 1st of May 2005. The day that PeterPan had a concert in Planet Hollywood KL at 4pm, and at the same time and place, the tix for the Dewa concert was being sold.
So what's so bad about that? the fact that i was there in KL and i could actually go and at least get the tix....then it hit me, I'M NOT GOING TO THE CONCERT.
i was devastated when i first found out that i couldnt go. Got over it eventually. And now, im convincing myself that it's okay if i'm dun get to go to this concert. Then i watch the short video i took of their concert in Singapore and i feel better.
Anyway, i brought home a great souvenir. This Malaysian mag, ROTTW. Dewa is on the cover! There's also a few page spread about their concert in Singapore and a magnificent poster of them. Bliss.
later.
