i miss US.

Those were the days when I had all the time in the world to spend my time with them. Now, everybody is everywhere doing their own thing. It's not easy to meet up and catch up. I just can't wait for RAYA because I know, that will be the time where everybody will make time for each other :)

*iftar with the girls that I ♥*

p/s: finally all of us had the time to have our iftar together. If only all of the 'Beaches & Aceholes' were there too...

being lonely.

Being lonely is sucks.

Being lonely is sad.

But sometimes being lonely is what we need to appreciate what we had before. 

Or what we have now. 

Oh Snap! It's the OrangUtan!

Found this video after I watched "The Rise of The Plane of The Apes". Yeah, it's pretty creepy to see how apes (or OrangUtan) can act just like humans. I guess Darwin's theory was right after all! 

conversation with my little brother.

His birthday was last May. He demanded expensive things from my parents. Mind you, he is only 13. He got an iPod touch from my dad and also a whole set of suit from my mom. (Blazer, vest, shirt, slack trousers and tie). It is ridiculous right?  

Me: Motif?

Mama: Papa la yang suruh. Mama dah kene beli sebab Jemir nak sangat. 

Me: Manja kan sangat! 

Actually I'm jealous. I mean, it costs almost RM500! 

Me: Jemir nak pakai blazer pergi mana?

Jemir: Ntah. Hotel kot.

Me: Membazir je. Hotel mana? Untuk?

Jemir: Ntah. If ada makan-makan, jemir pakai la.

Emir: Alaa..nanti kakak kawin kat hotel, Jemir pakai la.

Me: Hamboih!

And one day, Jemir asked me a question.

Jemir: Kak, bila kakak nak kahwin?

Me: Huh? Kenapa tetiba tanya??

Jemir: Jemir nak pakai suit! Nanti tak muat!

Me: Tunggu lagi 2-3 tahun. Padan muka! 

Jemir: Alaa...kahwinlah akhir tahun ni. Or tahun depan. Insyallah Jemir muat lagi pakai suit if tahun depan.

Me: Ingat senang ke nak kahwin? Sapa nak bagi duit? Plus, if kakak kahwin, kene pakai baju melayu ok? No suit.

Jemir: Alaa...kata nak buat kat hotel. Suit la.

Me: Jemir nak bagi kakak duit ke? Kakak buat kat dewan je. Baju melayu ok?

Jemir: Takde. Jemir nak pakai suit gak! And Jemir boleh guarantee yang kakak akan kahwin akhir tahun nie.

Me: =_='

Gile punye adik!

Will you weep with me?

If you know someone that will always be there for you no matter when you're happy or sad, can I be his/her friend?
Will you introduce me to him/her?

what to respond?

A few weeks ago, in class....

Me: Have a nice weekend everyone! See you next Monday!

Students: See you, miss!

Boy A: I'll see you in my dream, miss.

Me: o..kay...

A few weeks ago, in my office...

Boy A: How does it feel like to be 20-ish?

Me: Feel so old.

Boy A: You're not old, miss. You still look perky...

Me: o..kay...

Boy A: That does not sound right, right?

Me: Yaa.... i guess...but, thank you...i guess.

Just now, in class....

Me: Let me check your essay.

Boy R: Okay. 

Boy A: Miss, you smell so nice. I like it.

Me: o..kay... thank you.

I don't know about you guys, but it is weird for me to hear that from my student. Especially when it's from a boy. I know he was just trying to be friendly but it is still awkward. To be honest, I don't even know how to respond to that kind of comment. Maybe I should just say "thank you" right? I mean, he was just simply complimenting me. I don't even know why I should feel awkward about it.

So to Boy A, thank you. I guess. :)

p/s: Maybe because he is 18 and I am 24? Or maybe because he is a student and I'm a lecturer? Or maybe it IS because I AM getting OLD. Oh well, Hello Miss Old Nadia =_='

train incident.

Last Friday, when I was on my way to KLCC via LRT, there was a mother and her daughter sat in front of me. The daughter is so adorable and I think that was her first time on a train. She was like "Ohh mummy, I can see everything from here", "Ohhh mummy, look!" with her cute voice. I think the daughter is a chindian. So cute!

Anyways, while she was saying "ohhh" that and "ohh" this...I was listening to songs on my phone. I wasn't really paying attention until suddenly a chinese guy who sat beside me, waving his hand at my face. 

And it went like this:

Me: Yes?

Him: What kind of song are you listening to?

Me: Err...is it so loud?

Him: No...I was just asking.

Me: Owh okay...  

And when I was about to put earphone back into my ear...

Him: Don't you think she's annoying? I can't stand kids like that. If I were her parent, I would bury my face somewhere so that people won't see me.

He was referring to the daughter who sat in front of us. And he didn't talk softly... He talked quite loud which I was pretty sure that the mother could heard him.

Me: Erm...but she's cute what...and she's a kid...so it's normal la...

Him: Are you defending her??

Me: Yaa... I love kids. 

Him: *shaking his head*

And again, when I thought the conversation was over...

Him: Let me give you two situations...

Me: Uh hmm...

Him: If you have to choose between two guys...one of the guy is funny and he really makes you laugh...

Me: Uh hmm...

Him: The other guy...he really cares about you...he treats you like a princess...to him, you are the world... So who would you choose?

Me: I'll choose the first guy.

Him: Really? Why?

Me: I don't like guy who is clingy and needy. 

Him: Wohooo! Good answer! 

*He asked for a knuckle. Something like a high-five. I don't know what it's called actually*

Him: Must be based on experience right?

Me: No laa.. *faking a laugh*

Him: By the way, my name is Jon. You?

Me: Nadia. *shaking his hand*

And apparently he didn't stop there...

Him: I got the wrong train you know? I can't believe I took the wrong train before. I mean, I took train everyday to work and going back home. I don't know how I could take the wrong one just now.

Me: Maybe because you're so tired. You didn't realize it.

Him: Wow! Genius! Maybe... Right! Right! 

Me: *faking a laugh again*

But in my heart, I can't stop hoping that he would just shut up.

Him: So what are you doing now?

Me: I'm a lecturer.

Him: Wow! oh wow! where?

Me: INTEC. Do you know what is it?

Him: So you're teaching the untalented students? *laughing*

Him: I know some lecturers have to teach the untalented kids. *still laughing*

Me: They are actually very clever.

Him: Are you sure or not?

Me: Ya. They are under scholarship from JPA and MARA. They are going to overseas for their degree. I'm teaching A-Level students.

Him: Oh okay. So what are you teaching?

ME: English. Basic stuff before they are introduced to IELTS.

Him: Whoa! you teach IELTS? *laughing* you're teaching IELTS?? *sounded disbelief*

Me: Not really. I don't have the qualification to teach IELTS. I'm teaching them basic stuff.

Him: *laughing*

Me: *annoyed, and when I was about to put my earphone into my ear again...*

Him: Can I have your number? My station is next. Maybe we can keep in touch later.

Me: Err...Okay.

And yes, I gave him my number. I was holding my phone at that time. So I had to give it to him. And he miscalled right there and then to give me his number.

And when he walked out of the train, I felt relieved. And when I was about to put my earphone into my ear again, suddenly I heard a loud knocked behind me. And it was him. Knocked the window quite loud just to wave goodbye. And everybody in the train that was near me, looked at me. 

A few hours later.

Beep. Beep.

I got a text. And it was him.

"Nice to know that you're not in2 old guys. haha*

Next morning.

He called. But I didn't pick up.

I know he was being friendly. But there is something about his attitude that I don't like. he was like a little bit arrogant, I think. And quite rude. Especially when he commented about the little girl. I mean, you don't have to talk about it loudly right? I am so sure that the mother could heard him. Because she was sitting right in front of us. 


But to be honest, if he didn't talk about that kid in that kind of way, I might be interested to add him as my new friend. 

Oh well. Everyday you will meet new people right?
