I've just finished my french role play. I'm so relieved.

Fauzana and i were partners for the role play. Our topic is 'at the hotel reception'. I was the tourist and Fauzana was the receptionist. So Fauzana came up with this idea to bring alot of props for the role play. She brought table cloth, a pot vase and a fake flower for the reception table. I brought my shades,keys,cards and the computer mouse. i think we were the only ones who brought along quite alot of props. Other teams were all so relax and just bring the basic stuffs.

And so we went in the room, so as the 2 Aisyahs (Aisyah from ma'arif and Aisyah from my nira time dulu2..hehe). They wanted to watch us and Giulliano didn't mind at all. Ouh and by the way, i was suppose to make a fake laptop for the reception table but i dont know how to do the screen. So i just take Nira's make-up box cover and put my fullscap paper as the screen. Creative or what siah...?? haha. I couldn't bring my vaio laptop la. crazy or what want to bring my heavy laptop and the heavy make-up kit. Wahliao! Can die lor like that.

Ok so, we set up the table and everything and started. I was nervous la. I forgot the line where i have to say out my IC number. haha. But i quickly recover. Fuhh! Selamat! Eh not Mas Selamat ar! haha ok lame. Anyhoos, we finished and Giulliano said that my pronunciation is one of the best. Haha. Yay!! I'm so happy can..!! I was grinning from ear to ear all the time siah. haha

Ok la. Got to go do RBB now. i'm in school by the way. haha

bye

Just a joke that i'd like to share. I know some people may find this like outdated, but i just got it through email from Adillah. Sorry non-malays if you are kinda lost here. It's like a direct translation from malay to english ar. This girl is trying to write a letter to her ang moh boyfriend, and this is the outcome.

Enjoy...

Tijah budak kampung, tapi bekerja di Kuala Lumpur .Biasalah bila sudah duduk 'town', mula lupa asal usul. Pakaian seksi maut, bercinta pula dgn lelaki mat saleh. Ke hulu ke hilir menayang boyfriendnya yg bermata biru.Punyalah eksyen si Tijah, hinggalah suatu hari dia ternampak lelaki Inggeris tadi dgn wanita lain yg lebih cantik dan bergaya daripadanya.Tijah menangis tiga hari tiga malam. Pada malam ke empat, Tijah mengambil sehelai kertas dan menulis surat untuk memutuskan perhubungannya dgn lelaki mat saleh tadi yg baru sebulan dikenalinya.Begini bunyi surat yg ditulis oleh Tijah binti Kulup Kecil, yg berjaya 'dicuri' ......
************ ********* ********* ********* ********* ********* ********* ********* **
Mike....I WANT TO CUT CONNECTION US.
I have think about this very cook-cook.
I know I clap one hand only.
Correctly, I have seen you and she walk-walk together at town with eyes myself.
You grab hand she.
You always ask for apology back-back.
I don't trust you again!
You are really crocodile land.
My friend speak you play wood three.
First-first I think my friend lie me.
But now I know you correct -correct play wood three.
So, I break connection to pull my body from this love triangle.
I know his result I pick is very correct, because you love she very high from me.
So, I cut this connection to go far from here.
I don't want you to play-play with my liver.
I have been crying until no more eye water thinking about you.
I don't want banana to fruit two times.
Safe walk..
Tijah .

PRESENTATION FOR MARKETING RESEARCH IS JUST A FEW HOURS AWAY!!!! I'm nervous right now. I've not even finished with my 'speech' yet i have time to blog. hehe. I bought a new black formal shirt just for tomorrow's presentation and also for RBB's later. It only costs me $15. I'm happy with it coz the buttons are like diamond buttons. hehe. Thankfully, i can't find my size at G2000. hehe.

Tomorrow, after school, going to National Stadium for the friendly match between Brazil and Singapore. Boyfie 'forced' me to go with him. Unexpectedly, my mum lets me go, eventhough the match is at night, and i'm going with my boyfriend. However, her only condition for my boyfie was for him to pay my ticket. hehe. We actually planned for me to pay only half of my ticket but mummy said he must pay it coz he's the one who asked me to go. haha. Sorry baby. Don't worry, i'll help you pay also k..? Just don't tell my mum..Shhhhhh...hehe.

OK la. See you later darling! I miss you! Muah!

bye.

COMPETITION IS FINALLY OVER!!

Weeks and weeks of training have finally meet it's end. Week after week we've been pushed to blast our voices, sharpen our diction and pitching, finalize and standardize the ragams, being yelled, frustrated, sarcastic comment-ed, cursed, it all has ended,for a moment.

I've used up all my voice power during trainings. The day before competition, i lost it. I lost my voice. I can't reach the high notes. I kept screaming and shouting like a rock star. I actually teared coz first of all, i've never experience this kind of 'serak-ness'. Usually it'll just be awhile. But this time, it went all day. Second reason was because i feel like i'll disappoint my fellow Nira-ians and Fid if i don't blast my voice. Voice projection is important in Dikir barat, and of course the ragams. If you use your throat to shout, you'll hurt your throat and you will tend to be out of tune. That's why i teared. I know to all of you it's a silly thing to cry over, but i feel like i'm responsible if i did something wrong. I love performing and i definitely love winning. Who doesn't....???Duhh! So Liyana and the girls comforted me saying that i should keep my voice for the competition. I prayed to Allah that my voice will come back to the way it's suppose to be.

Competition day. I still didn't get back my voice. I was so sad. Then the 'war' of costume sizes between the Ls and the Ms. L is my size, but there were only 2 Ls and there were 4 of us with the plus size figure. We tried opening the pleats, but we were too big. But then i changed to size M and it fits me like...so so. The arm part is quite tight but i managed to make myself comfortable in it. We get the sizes sorted out la. Don't' worry.. hehe. Our make-up was done by the SNTs, Radziah and Elah (i think). They were so helpful and kind enough to come down to school early in the morning just to do the make-up for us. Thanks babes!

Reached there, shared room with Adiratna, group from NP. We were the last group to perform. All of us were supernervous. Fid came in and explained what is required and the meaning of the lyrics he wrote and how it is related to our relationship together. Most of the seniors teared coz it was soooo meaningful. Even Fid and Achiok cried. We were so bonded and we feel as though we are a big family.

OK so during performance, quite alot of mishaps. Even the first intro and the tepuk sepuluh were horrible. After performance, most of them cried as soon as they step down the stage. I tried comforting them saying "winning is not important. The important thing is we had fun on stage". Then we did our routine, cam-whore!! haha. We had lots of fun even though we were standing in the rain.

Then the results were in and 2 of Fid's team made to top 2! Juara for Fuhua Sec, and Naib Juara for Xin Min Sec. We cheered for them so supportingly coz this is also fid's team and that we feel that we share the common hopes to make him happy. Ok i know i talk crap. My english not powerful la. Sorry la eh. Even Fuhua yelled our group name when the MC was about to announce the naib juara. Thanks Fuhua guys! Then we took pictures of all 3 or 4 groups of us with Fid, singing to the song 'Rakan muda'. It was sooo cool! I wish someone took a video of it.

Then went back to our room. Guess what song they played inside..? Tamil rancak song laaaaaaaa. We were dancing away like nobody's business la. So fun la. haha. Changed and bussed down to Jurong point for Banquet. We were starving la babe. haha. Then we took the MRT together, conquered the 2 face-to-face seats. haha.

Overall, i did have fun la. Thanks girls for making this possible ok! Love ya'll! Muah!

Finally i can upload my close-up pictures with my Dikir costume. haha.

bye now!

Went shopping with boyfie dearest today. He wanted to find new shirts and a smart shoe coz he just got a job at an office around Loyang as an officeboy. hehe. His brother somehow has a connection there la. He starts tomorrow!

Anyhoos..walked around TM, AGAIN! He managed to buy himself 3 pairs of socks, singlets and a pair of shoes. I like his shoes. hehe. And not forgetting the new handphone! He bought the silver one. It doesn't appeal to me but he said that it is ok, and bought it. So now i got to have his old phone. Atleast this one is more...how do i put it..? 'Recent'? haha. Atleast la right..? haha. So I bought a pair of skinny jeans as mine has torn at the thigh part. You know la..i'm fat whartzzz..

While shopping, we were talking about where to have our dinner. We were at the escalator infront of Swensens. Suddenly he offered to eat there! Wah! I was so happy la. Usually i was the one who suggested it, but this one, a serious shocker. haha. Thanks baby!

We usually ordered our meal each, french fries and ice cream which most of the time would be the ring-a-ding-a-ling. But after seeing Huda's picture in her blog, eating waffle ice-cream, i cannot tahan. haha. Long time never eat that since i went Malaysia's A&W. Swensen's waffle ice-cream is soooo yummeh! I WANT MORE CAAANNN????? haha.

So now here i am. Need to do RBB project now. Then need to sleep! Fasting again tomorrow. I've only 2 days left!

Slumber party with girlfriends this wednesday/thursday. Should i or should not go? I REALLY want to, but i'm afraid i might be too tired after trading and training. WOW! It rhymes! K lame. haha.

bye peeps!

Today had training at Sports complex as Liyana wanted to avoid that fatass. haha. Yesterday, she spoiled out mood la, especially Liyana's. How do you aspect us to respect you if you treat us like shit??? We were so excited to go to Bibik's shop to browse through the costumes for our competition. She spoiled it. haiz.

So anyways, the attendance was very little. So sad. We were training and all, but i couldn't reach the high notes. Faat said maybe i was intimidated by the space coz as i mentioned, we trained outdoors.

After training, the seniors went to Mega Perdana while me and the freshies went home. Reached home, pray and went out again with the family to eat. Ate at Chai Chee Seafood Restaurant. We ate ALOT, as usual. haha. When there's seafood, there must be the chilli crab, the squid/prawns with oats, kailan, hotplate beancurd, seafood fried rice and jugs of drinks. haha. It's a tradition. hehe. Initially, we ordered just a large plate of rice but then we still feel very empty, so decided to buy another plate. After that, wah liao! So full! haha.

Then, went to TM to buy myself the new W760i. The SingTel service was sooo kcufing annoying la. We waited like 1 and half hours already, standing, there were no seats. We were so frustrated, so my sister decided to ask the guy there when is our turn coz we thought the number is next la. Then the guy said that actually we missed our turn. WTF!!! We were there all the time, always checking up on the screen for our number. So then he gave us a new number that's going to be next.

Reached the counter, the lady said there is no red W760i yet. WTF!! I waited for 1 and a half hours for NOTHING?????? We tried to whine and whine to her, but she seemed so relax and never back down. Wish Sis Yun was there to help. hehe. Sis Alin mentioned that she never get compensation for anything even when she complains alot, like nagging, but never get anything in return. I guess we sucked at 'hantam-ing' people ar. haha. So atlast, i just get to reserve the phone when it comes. This sucks big time! Whined about it to baby boyfie. He is sooo sweet. He tried to calm me down. He wanted to buy the same phone. Our couple phone la. hehe. He told me that when tomorrow he buys the new phone, he'll ask me to use it first. Awww~~ *kiss boyfie on the cheeks repeatedly* Never mind la baby. You use it la k. Your current one you give me. hehe.

Here i am now. Still feeling very irritated with SingTel. ARGH! Now, i'm trying to do FARM. Research gives me headache. haiz.

ok i'm off now. Bye.

Today had trading. Ella, Vanessa and Li Ping were the managers for today. They were very disciplined and energetic i guess coz they prepared everything 1 week before the trading day.

So anyways, Ella requested for us to be at 1st Ave by 1045. I was a little late, like 1048. haha. It's a colourful day, as Ella said, so she asked all of us to wear something colourful. So i wore my pink cotton on shirt under my RMT uniform with jeans and my 'lilit' tudung with pink and red pins. My theme today was black,pink and red. So i was the supervisor for accessories today. I know i'm not a leader type of person. I'm a follower. I know it doesn't tally with my name, 'Amira', which means 'a leader/a princess'. I am a princess..heh..but not a leader. I can be aggressive at times but i cannot give out orders. I'm a blur sotong. But sometimes i feel that people just refuse to acknowledge my ideas or even acknowledge my presence. I hate it. It makes me look and feel stupid. But when sometimes during projects or whatever, i tried to give ideas, and as usual it will sound stupid, but when the teacher recommend to do as i have suggested, i just feel like saying "I TOLD YOU SO!".

OK let's get back to the topic. As i was saying, the theme today was colourful or rainbow. So we had balloons as our flyers. Cool right..??? hehe. Did our weekly routine, stock take and everything. Sales look good today. I bought a slipper for boyfie coz he wanted to buy it from outside, but then i told him that i'll buy for him from 1st Ave so that it'll help increase our sales. Vanessa and Ella bought some too i think. So blah blah blah. Our sales hit $235.60!!! I felt abit suck-ish coz sales was very very bad last week when Suhailah, Chuan Lian and I were managers. Sales were very very slow. But today, it was very very very fast. Why oh why?? So anyways, the managers rewarded some departments and some people for their initiatives and whatsoever. Everybody receive at least 1 gift, except me coz i was neither at kiosk or direct selling or the department which hit the target. So i just kept quiet la. What to do right..pathetic me. Suhailah being so nice gave me one of her gummy bears. I refuse to take it at first, haha, cannot show you really really want it right. haha. But then she insisted. So i took it lor. haha. Thanks hun!

After debriefing, Su and i took one balloon each for ourselves. I took the pink one and she took the blue one. We were so happy to get the balloons. Initially we were going to take pictures of us together with the balloons but i guess we forgot about it later on. Then went back home, tired. Reached home, with no delays just straight for prayers and hit the bed. Wow! So nice! haha. Woke up for break fast only. hehe.

4 more days till i finish paying up my puasa!

bye peeps!

Today, skipped date with boyfie coz we've already went out earlier this week. I don't want to make mum feel neglected coz i would go out every Sunday with boyfie and leave her alone at home. I know she has always been pissed with me every time i tell her i'm going out in the morning. So today, i tried to be a good girl and told boyfie to meet me some other time.

As a result, i was bored at home. Therefore, i asked mum, bro and sis yun to go somewhere, just anywhere. First plan was to go cycling. But then i thought, it has been some times since i last ate at Seoul Garden. Then blah blah blah, we decided to bring mum to Bugis coz we are so tired of TM already. We went there to shop and had our dinner at Seoul Garden after that.

In the MRT

We have just arrived Seoul Garden

I like how i look in this photo..hehe

Ice-cream!!

We were sooooo full!

Ok this is hot stuff. While we were queueing to pay for our items at Top Shop, the salesgirl said that this counter is just for ladies wear only and just toss the sis yun's items back at her. Sis yun was sooooo pissed at her and yelled "crap!" at the salesgirl. The salesgirl even took the shawl that sis yun wanted and tossed it aside. As a pregnant woman with a raging hormones, she complained to the manager about that girl. After that, she came out with a 20% voucher! haha. Cool or what siah!

One more incident was when we were waiting for taxi at the taxi stand at Raffles Hospital. There were this group of people sitting on the bench near the stand. My bro just queued up coz they weren't queueing up what right...??? Then they straight away stood up and tried to find taxi. When the taxi came, they just storm to the taxi while my bro was just approaching the taxi. Sis yun came rushing down and yelled at the taxi driver and those people coz they weren't even queueing. She yelled at the taxi driver as she thought that it was not fair for us as we queued up. Those people should have just told us that they were there 1st or what. We could have easily take a step back. So she took down the taxi's plate number and lodged a complain to Transit whatever. Unfortunately, there were no discounts on the taxi fare. haha. Chiong la sis! haha. She said if they were to have 10 customers like her, wah..cannot imagine la how siah. haha.

Oh and by the way, i saw Ida and Huda at Masjid Sultan. Well, they saw me. haha. Huda called out my name as i was walking out. I was so blur coz i was not wearing my specs or contact lens. I didn't reply or even looked excited. Huda called out again. I came nearer...then i went "Oh Huda". Then after, i saw Ida. haha. I was sooo blur la. Sorry la girls. Huda said i make her paisey only. haha. Sorry sorry. Ku nie memang blur sikit kadang-kadang. hehe. See you girls when i actually can SEE you ok girls..?? haha.

So here i am now. At home. Tomorrow school starts at 9am. And tomorrow I'll start paying back my puasa which is 7 days in total. Time, please fly faster (i assume that time flies and not crawl or whatever coz they always say,"time flies so fast". ok lame, i know).

bye

YAY! I manage to get my long beauty sleep on a school day. Class was at 3pm, so i took the chance to wake up late, at 11am. hehe.

Went to school at around 1pm for RBB meeting. Then off to class. Each group had to send in a representative to present. There were 4 of us left who haven't present. We were so kanchiong, especially Li Ping. So i suggested 'oh-beh-som' (is that how you spell it?hehe). So Suhailah had to present. This presentation is very important as the best group will get the chance to choose their time slots on the day of our formal presentation. Nobody wants to present first. So scary. We never present in front of Mr Roche before, so we don't know how intense it's going to be. It has already been intense during classes. So blah blah blah...we didn't make it. We were tied with another group. So Mr Roche threw a whiteboard duster up like flipping coins like that la. We lost. So we HAVE to present FIRST!!!!! NOOOOOO!!!!!

Then we got back our mid-sem test papers. I knew i failed but i didn't know what was my real score. I did quite bad. 18/50. I scored 0 for two of the questions. haiz. Hope I'll do very well for presentation and exam coz i really need to improve my GPA. All my papers went well except for this one. I screwed up la. I MUST try harder next time. I'll try.InsyaAllah i can.

Ok that's it for now.
Au revoir.

Yes. I've changed my blogskin again. I know i often change it. I'm just bored, and so i did some searching. I found 2 skins that's very very appealing to me, but the thing is, i hate blogskins that need the navigation thingy. I just want the simple skin with everything in just one page. So i found these cute little kitties and decided on it. Aren't they adorable?? hehe. FYI, i like kittens but i somehow can't get near them. I don't know why. Back when i was in primary school, i used to pat them, and even carry them in my arms. The kitties were sooo cute. But i dont know what happen now. I tried to overcome my fear, but sadly....haiz. Nevermind. Not important.

And one more thing. I just couldn't change this song in my blog. I tried changing it, but it doesn't feel quite right. FYI, Shona means sweet in Bangali. Ok random. haha.

Alright..time for bed for me.

bye bye lovelies!

Today, had an assignment meeting for RBB. It was freaking stressful for us. We couldn't decide the ratings for the stupid fishbein model. We were comparing two luxurious cars, Bentley Arnage and Jaguar XJR. We were siding on Bentley. We got really confused about whether we should rate according to importance or the quality or what. It was intense la i tell you. Then we have to make a presentation on that. We were so scared and nervous la as it carries 5% participation marks. We wouldn't want to fail that. Duhh! Who does right...?? haha. Saw my brother-in-law, Abang Suhaimy and his brother, Hafiz during the meeting. He came up from Biz Park. I was like "why in the world are you guys doing here?". They just come for the food. haha. So as to clarify the intense-ness, i asked him about the cars. What does this and that mean coz he is an expert in cars. He loves cars la. So he explained and thank God i asked him coz what we thought was not exactly what we thought. haha. Thanks bro!

So then we were practising and all. Tried to break the ice with Mr Roche using our secret weapon. Vanessa's humor. haha. Well, it's not a secret la. She is a funny and bubbly person that makes people giggle and laugh out loud every now and then.

We were the last group to present. We only have to present in front of Mr Roche without the classmates. We agreed to do something 'cute'. hehe. After someone says something incredible about Bentley, we should all go "waaahhhh~~~". haha. And we did exactly how we practised it. Then Mr Roche went "is that part of the presentation?" We said ya and he laughed. So that should be ok la right..?? haha. The presentation went quite ok. We managed to answer his questions. So we asked how did we do. He said VERY GOOD! Yay!! Hopefully it's a 5/5 marks like Stephenie's group. Hopefully. Aamiin....

Tomorrow i have Dikir training. Haiz. I like training, but i'm tired. I need more rest. Ok la. Hopefully most of the girls will turn up tomorrow.

bye.
