Moments & Memories

Okay, firstly I’ll show you pictures of my n70. Here they are…

~~~ i’ll put the pictures later.sorry for the inconveniences.Hihi ~~~

That n70 was bought in March 2007 and was given to me by my dearest pumpkin, Will. He actually went through all the troubles so that we both have the same exact phone. Well, except his was the music edition. Notice that I used past tense? Yes, he actually traded-in his beautiful black n70 with a second-hand n91 communicator (if I’m not mistaken) somewhere in October the same year.

At that time, I was like, “Are you out of your mind??” but he said he likes the communicator so I tried to be in his shoes by hoping that I will understand his strong temptation to trade-in a first hand to a second-hand.

At last, I let him change it to the communicator and he beamed with joy. Haha So I thought now we don’t have the same phone again..hiya..

Anyways, let’s get back to My n70..

That n70 really came in handy for me. It like worked 3-in-1 for me.  SMSes, Pictures, Calls. Well, some other functions too but those three were the most I did with the phone.

I still have my old nokia 3350 phone so I’ve decided to buy a maxis number since most of my friends in UKM are using maxis. Before having that Maxis number, I spent a LOT on my other Digi number. *dead*

One fateful day, I realized that the n70 didn’t have network despite me using Maxis since Maxis line is very strong over there. So after a month of using it as a camera only (since I cannot make any calls or SMSes) I decided to bring it to a phone repair shop in UKM.

After a few days, the technician told me he cannot repair it. Even though he changed the something inside (I forgot what it is called, it’s something to make the phone receives network) , still it didn’t worked.

I was disappointed. .

Let’s go straight to the 2^nd technician. Will and I went to Pertama Complex opposite Sogo in KL and the technician said the same thing. He also said we need to pay higher if we really want him to repair the phone. So we said no, and I think that was the time when he go and totally rosak-kan my phone(the thing inside) because we refused to repair it. But we were helpless because he’s the one who knows and we know nothing.

I almost cried at that moment. I had a mixture of feelings. Disappointed, guilty, frustrated..

Will decided to send the n70 to a shop at his place in Batang Berjuntai. He told me he went there few times already so the technician knows him. Oh well, sadly enough, the technician SAID the same thing too. He told Will that the interior was badly damaged. He said it’s weird because it’s a 1^st hand phone and the inside is already that bad?

Now I’m really frustrated and started to give up..

Will asked me to bring it back to Miri and asked Mum’s friend to help.

So I did follow his advice and brought it to Jeremy’s Mobile Repair at Bintang Plaza. This was the 4^th technician and the last.. The technician told me he CAN repair it but it will be too expensive and not worth it. He said it’ll be around RM400 plus. It’s better to buy a new phone..

Feels like my heart kena cucok2 right there..

As things started to get worst, I cannot think of anything worse but it did happened.. Mum had to pay RM10 for the service charge!!!! OMG! Why are they charging us when they DID NOTHING to the phone! NOTHING AT ALL!! The technician practically opened the parts and put it back together. Only 2 VERY simple things and he got paid for that! How wonderful!(sarcastically) DEYM!

So that’s the end of it. I cannot repair it. Nothing can be done to my precious n70. I haven’t even used it for a year and I (well, not totally me) ruined it.. poor n70.. poor Will.. The guiltiness evade my brain.. sheesh.. I’ll have to live with this for a long time..

I’m so totally dead. Period.

At last final’s over. I was very very glad because it’s a holiday! Yayy!

Our flight from LCCT was at 4.20pm,24/11/2007(which turns out to be Olly’s bday). Patty, Lunai and I went back together that  day. From the flight, as we reached Miri, I can see the city lights all over which made me more excited to go back home. I was looking forward to see our new puppies!!

Lunai’s mum,Auntie Mujan fetched us from the airport. As soon as we reached home, there were a lot of cars parking at the roadside. Mum told us that we will be having Olly’s birthday party that night too.

Suddenly, Patty realized there’s a not-ours car parking at our car porch. It’s a Gen2 ,red in color. We were wondering whose is that and thought it’s our new car! Apa lagik..makin excited la..

But our hopes crumbled as Auntie Mujan told us that Daddy’s company gave him. Hehe

Oh well, never mind.

Then Dad, Mum, Olly, and Aaron greeted us at the main door. I was so surprised to see Aaron! He has grown up so much I can’t believe it’s him! Haha

He’s chubbier now and taller and one thing that ‘attracts’ me the most is the butt! It’s very round and solid..hahahaha In another word, ‘MANTAP’ LOL

There were few uncles and aunties that night. Friends of dad’s and mum’s. Weird though. It’s supposed to be Olly’s birthday party but only ONE of Olly’s friend was there. Hmmmpph?? But Olly said never mind. Hee

That night I melepas mengidam by eating my Mum’s special dish. We call it beef pie but it’s actually not a pie. It has three layers. The bottom layer is the minced beef which is cooked with soy sauce. And the middle part is the mashed potatoes. The top part makes the dish more delicious which is melted cheese!

I think I ate half of the plate Mum served. Hihihi

One of dad’s friend brought his karaoke set so after connecting wires and testing the microphone, it’s my turn to sing. I was very happy because I found Gloria Gaynor’s “I will survive” in the songs’ list. I’ve been to various karaoke places with Madey and Cyril but cannot find that song!

So, as I excited as I can be I started singing the song..nevertheless, I sang badly! I was out of tune and cannot stop laughing through the song as the others laughed at me too! haha. I totally sucked! At the end of the song, the marks are counted and I only scored 42! Lol

Well, spent the rest of the nights karaoke-ing. Aaron even sang his Favorite song which is “Achy breaky heart”. I didn’t expect him to like karaoke. (it’s in the genes I guess.hehe)

So that’s it. My 1^st night in Miri after ‘hibernating’ for 4 months in my small isolated UKM room. I am looking forward to the days ahead because I’m enjoying the moment. Yea I guess Miri is not that bad after all despite the very hot and humid weather. Furthermore, as the saying goes, “there’s no other places better than home.”  =)

Here are some pictures during the night.

1. DUNKIN’ DONUTS for Olly and Aaron.yummy!

2. Aaron is singing his favorite song while I’m going through the songs’ list.

3. Patty, Aaron and I

4. Olly and I

5. 2 barbarians and a short lady.hahaha

When I 1^st attended our 1^st ko-k meeting, I discovered that there’s an Indonesian guy in the same contemporary dance class and after a week, he approached me and told me that he was relieved when he saw me the 1^st week. He said “At least I have an Indonesian with me in the class” He thought I was an Indonesian! He said he mati2 thought I’m from there because I don’t look like locals here. Another wrong assumption on my real background! =)

That one particular day during EST class, my classmate asked me to say something in Kayan. So I said “uh nah ikak kuman do?” which means “have u already eaten?” he was like “wwahh.. sounds so different!” my lecturer overheard us and asked me to repeat the sentence again. She told me that the bahasa ada bunyi2 Philippine. So she thought I’m from Philippine. There goes another assumption..the 4^th one I think..

And this happened just recently.. I was in my room doing some work that night and my neighbour which stay a door away knocked on my door and asked whether my roommate is in the room or not. I told her that she’s(roommate) not back yet. So she said nvm. And as I was closing the door she stopped me and asked what am I actually.. she goes like this.. “ urmm u ape sbnrnye? Chinese ke? Ouh u Chinese-Siam eh?” terkejut me dgr at that time.. almost speechless.. hahah I can just say yes to her but no.. told her I’m a Sarawakian. That’s all. If I go into the details, who knows what she’ll be thinking. So by saying I’m a Sarawakian is more than enough.

Lastly, this just happened last Wednesday. It was the annual election for the whole IPTA and we students are required to vote for the candidates. In my own opinion, the election held is not fair. IPTA students should know why it is not fair.. Btw, I walked into the election room, I need to register myself at the 1^st counter where I need to give them my matrix card to check my name on the computer. They said my name out aloud to confirm with me.. and one of them asked me, “Jeannette Urai Daniel…U Portuguese eh??” hahahahah won’t comment more on this one. =P

So get a picture here? Ppl here are not used seeing our looks (srwkian & sbhan) here and they’ll come up with their own assumptions but normally, they will think us as Chinese or Malay (free hair). Well, this might not apply to all of the East Malaysians but I’m blogging based on my own experiences.

Ni baru confuse abt race..blom lagi crita ttg what’s their view abt srwak n sabah..lagi ‘imaginative’.. but that one, I’ll keep it to myself. Feel free to ask me though. I’m not thinking of putting it in my blog at d moment.. well,maybe not yet..ngehngeh

So the best way to describe myself??

A MALAYSIAN =)

Lucky to be one!

Currently, I’m studying in UKM ,Bangi doing a course called chemical science or its popular name, pure chemistry. When I started my 2^nd week here, I met different types of people from all over

Malaysia

. Most of the West Malaysians are from Johor and Selangor. There are some who come all d way from Kedah n

Penang

too.

Ever wonder what happened during my 1^st week? Oh well, I was not able to go out and ‘socialize’ around when all the 1^st year students were doing that(it was the orientation week.1^st week is always meant for that). I was quarantined the whole week in my room because of the conjunctivitis I got during my very 1^st day in UKM. Sad.. And I was BORED(very!) too! No one to talk to. Got nothing to do. No entertainment. Everyone was a stranger to me..

I remembered my 1^st encounter with a Kuching guy who has been introduced by a friend of mine ,Madey. Little did I knew we end up being good friends. His name is Cyril. We actually went out on a Wednesday night (2^nd week I guess) to Putrajaya for sight-seeing and came back around 4 in the morning and I have an 8am class that morning! Just imagine how my eyes hurt in class. You know when you don’t have enough sleep, your eyes will feel pedih semcm..hehe

That weekend, he(Cyril) introduced me to 2 of his fac-mates.. Both from Johor. A girl and a guy. We got along well despite my imperfect Semenanjung slang.. my ‘bah’ will tend to come out after my sentences and everything will sound wrong. Funny I can say. =P but yea, I’m working on it. =)

The guy asked me what race am I actually. When I said I’m a Kayan, they had that weird expressions on their faces.. As I had expected, they didn’t have any ideas on my race. I bluntly asked, “It came out somewhere in the Sejarah book last time

kan

??”

They gave me their blank looks but I know, they were trying hard to make flashback in their heads but can’t seem to remember it. The guy told me that I have that unique look from

Thailand

. Not a Malaysian. -_-“

The girl agreed. So I’m like ookayy..

So much of my 2^nd week..

Then came the 3^rd week..

I was walking around Pusanika with Madey when we came across a booth with students looking for people to become the committees for UKM’s Pesta Tanglung which was held recently. ( last week if I’m not mistaken) Two girls came to us and straight away spoke Mandarin to us.. I was like eerrr???

Coincidentally, Madey has a Chinese look too.(Got it from his mom) and LUCKILY he is able to speak Mandarin since he attended Chinese primary school. But the two girls stopped for a while when they looked at his name tag. Mahathir bin Yusup ?? They were reluctant after that so we said we are not interested (in fact we ARE not interested). So know I have met people who thought I’m a Chinese..

To be continued…….

Ok here’s how d story goes..

Scene 1

Time: 1pm-3pm (Teknik Maths class)

Date: 29August2007 ; Wednesday

Place: DAM FST; UKM

            As usual, Madey, Alex and I will sit together in d class. We were copying the lecture’s notes on d slides n talking craps at d same time. Madey told me dat they r gonna celebrate my bday later at night at our college’s so called foyer. Thr will be some junk food n drinks. I said I want a cake. For 18 years, I nvr missed a cake for my bday.(sounds demanding huh?=P) They sed they will not b able to get a cake for me since they have class and they will not have d time to go out n buy.

            So I sed nvm. I don’t really mind coz I understand dat they’re bz. It’s actually d ppl around u dat matters d most..not all those food n cake. Alex told us abt his bday back in matrix. It was REALLY gross from d way he explaind it. His frens actually soaked their socks overnight and mixed weird things (dynamo,dettol etc.) into d water(yang ada stoking ya) n simbah him with dat one of a kind water. Yucks..n ewww (very)

            I warned them both not to do dat to me. And they actually talked abt wat they r gonna simbah me wif.. I even heard d word ‘clorox’ and ‘downy’ kluar.. -_-” I sed nnnoooo. I’ll just go wif a cake. Perhaps a choc-cheese-cream-icecream cake.. hurmmphh Hihi

Scene 2

Time : 10.55pm , d same day

Place : My room; 14-124, kolej keris mas

            I woke up around 9 pm after almost 2 hrs of sleep.(very exhausted) and took my bath. I received an sms from madey asking me 2 go 2 d foyer around 11.45pm later. It’s gonna be a small celebration. Den Cyril@romy msged me saying dat he wont be able to join us tonite coz he’s at putrajaya at d mo; his fren’s hse. So I sed it’s ok.. around 11.30pm, my roommate went out of d room wif jeans..?? hermm I suspected smth ordy..ngehngeh

Scene 3

Time : 11.47pm onwards

Date: 29-30August 2007

Place: Foyer kolej

            Well I was thr in time (tho 2 mins late), and thr I saw it… it’s like calling me from far.. it’s my choc bday cake!! And they sed thr will be NO cake..heee.They were bz lighting candles on d cake dat they didn’t realized I was walking towards dem..once they saw me, they were like “who ask u to come early?” n “why so early??” well,I was just following wat madey sms-ed me. Janji ma! Hehe

            And surprise2! In fact, Cyril was thr. He nvr was in putrajaya! Gggrrr.. n my roommate too.(told ya!i trust my instinct!) =) n some frens.. Lindsay, Grace, Sylvia, Alex n Teddy. N I tot it will be fewer ppl than dat. Hee

            So as d tradition goes, they sang me a happy bday song n I made a wish(might b wishes) hihi. It turned out to be just d cake n a bottle of pepsi. No junk food, no cups, no tissue, it was just d pepsi, d cake, cake knife, n d cake box.. so we went bck to basics whr we used d box as our ‘tissues’ to eat d cake. Hekhek

            After eating d cake, we were bz taking pictures wif everyone’s hps including mine(which was at madey.he took it from me). I still have my ‘tikam asuk,asuk mati’ hp wif me so my head was down reading all those msgs my frens sent to me wishing me.

            And it all started to happened.. at a mo, I tot it was snowing..but no..it was d flour they planned be4 n simbah me wif d kolam punya air!!( btw thr’s a fish pond at d foyer) I was so surprisd coz I didn’t expect dat to happen. But it happened and I was helpless..cant do anything except putting my hp aside in case it got wet..

            I tot dat was it..but they were scrubbing smth on my head..it’s a hotel shampoo! And they used one full bottle on my head alone..one good thing: it smells nice and d smell stays till d next morning! =) I was all wet..my sweater,my shirt..evrything..n my hair was like ‘bubbly’ but wat to do. Things happened n I just have to thnk positive out of it! Hihi

            Madey was asking me to take picture wif him at d pond so thr came my naughty thoughts..i took some of d bubbles from my hair(a lot actually) n while he was ready to pose for a pic, I quickly scrubbed those bubbles on his head! Hahaha after dat, I think he was so astonished and he lost his balance n fell into d pond! but he didn’t jatuh alone coz d minute he was falling down, he grabbed my hand n thr I went! Into d pond too! Luckily we didn’t kill any fish! Our pengetua will b mad! Lol . n now im really2 wet all over.

            So I slowly went out of d pond only to realize dat I had just ripped my rm10 pants dat I bought earlier during pesta konvo! It was quite a big hole sumwhr at at d middle of my right thigh! N it was witnessed by all of d othrs! *blushblush* byebye pants! I got some bruises at my hand n knees too.hoho

            They were laughing at d same time coz they sed d way we jatuh was funny..slow motion punya

gaya

..addohhh..hahaha

            Well dat ended d nite..n I got a necklace wif my initial  on it from Lindsay.beautiful. I really appreciate them doing d surprise for me. Especially to alex n madey bcoz they sanggup naik bus to town for d cake..hekhek. my roommate too,for spending some time tho she is having her mid sem exam d next morning.

            It’ll be sumting dat I’ll remember my whole life as it was really wonderful but ‘ceridak’ at d same time. Huehue. Nvr had smthg like dat be4 n it means a lot to me. Thanks ya’ll. Luv u guys to bits n pieces! Muacks!

p/s : to my frens:  Ayat, Atrash, Bibi, Effa, Farid, Jay, Lisa, Mar, Petrus and Sepul ; thanks for all

ur

midnite wishes.u make my day a better one n I wish dat each n evry single 1 of u were here. Muacks u ppl! =)

and joey a.k.a. john for having the thoughts of giving me babui!(lyk u told mel) haha

only now i came to realise dat in my previous blog i wanted a hair like ciara..but its actually not ciara..its rihanna..my goodness..in my mind i WAS thinking of rihanna but i din knw how i typed down ciara la pulak..malu nya aku bila i came to think of dat..hohoh

24 june 2007..well,it’s my dearest fren’s,effa mpun bday.exclude dat,it’s another normal day for me..

i made plans wif my bf to watch d 1.45pm movie at parkson.it’s fantastic 4 actually.d movie was ok.fun to watch.

well ok lemme just forward d day.i told him(will) dat i want to cut my hair but i’m still 50-50 about it..i wanted to do d style a lil bit like ciara.well not exactly like her coz i knw its almost impossible to do.hehe

so he asked me,"why dont u let me cut ur hair?" he has some experiences in cutting ppl’s hair before.so i said bluntly,why not?

but we dont have any scissors or anything dat time.he decided on buying all those stuffs.we went economy by buying all things needed at super save parkson where each stuff costs less than rm3.

he bought a biasa punya scissor,d scissor meant for layers,a comb,a small mirror,n newspaper!(d newsppr really come in handy after dat)

and we had one more problem,whr to cut?? takkan we want to pinjam saloon punya tmpt kan..we thought for some time n agreed on doing it at d beach! LOL

i knw,i knw,it sounds absurd,but that’s d only best place dat came across our mind dat time.hihi

so off we went to tmn selera, n parked sumwhr nearby d stalls but a lil bit secluded.

so…the cutting bermula…so kesian me,we din have any towels to cover my shoulder,n dats whr d newsppr came to d rescue!haha i did took a picture if me in dat newsppr but i aint gonna put it here..*blushblush*

while he cut my long hair(syg2),we heard tiny sounds of lil kittens coming from behind d bushes..it was a very wrong idea for us to call those kittens to come to us..there were 5 of dem.all had blue eyes.(pretty) but we started to get annoyed by them coz they r disturbing will while he was trying to concentrate on d cutting.haha

one of dem fall off d drain n went deeper into some kind of a small tunnel..at 1st will sed,let it be thr.but nervous juak me dgr d sound of d kitten lemas..it kept on ‘meow-ing’ s if lyk trying to ask for help..so will tried to be d hero,but his hand cant reach d cat coz it was out of reach.luckily,be4 d kitten betul2 lemas,it swam slowly towards will’s hand n he managed to grab it n put it on dry land.noty kitten..

by dat time,he was almost done wif my hair..just a lil bit more but…we cant find d scissor! because while he tried to rescue d kitten,he hold d scissor wif hif left hand n grab d cat wif d othr hand.

we searched everywhr,around d car..but we cant find it!he was a bit frustrated coz tinggal ckit lagi bah.at last,we made d assumption dat it fall into d drain while he was trying to grab d kitten.

d weird thing is,if d scissor really went into d drain,how come we din hear d sound of it terjatuh in d drain or sumting lyk dat..

worst come to worst,will decided to bring me to a nearby salon at centre point n ask d barber to do d last touch on my almost-done-hair.

d girl was surprised to see me in dat condition whr all those baki2 rmbut yg dipotong sticks at my neck! *blushblush* again.hahaha

she cut a bit here n thr,n it ended up not being lyk ciara but a straight bob.but its ok.i kinda like it too.and we had to pay rm12 for dat so-ckit hair she cut! grrrr…blame d kitten for dis! =P

after paying,we went out n headed towards d car.aftr unlocking d car,i went insode straight away but will was still standing outside while leaning wif his tummy towards d car window.heran juak me..n i asked him why he din msuk d car..n den…thr i saw it..d SCISSOR dat we thought fall down d drain earlier on..rupa2nya,all this while,d scissor was on top of d car!! den will came to think about it,he DID put it on d car after grabbing d kitten..surprisingly,it din fell off the car while d car was moving!

n we wasted rm12 for dat..i still blame d kitten!dat annoying-but-cute-lil me-meow..hihi

wat a day..so i had a new haircut dis day,it’s been a long time since i had a short hair.i think d last time when i was in form1.n d rest,i live wif long hair.hehe

so dat’s my story..my point is dat will has d talent to open a his own salon one day!n my hair will surely be d bahan experiment! haha

have a nice day everyone! =)

erm when did we go aah?? i forgot…hee

but at 6pm dat dat,we went to manja rasa,a restaurant to berbuka puasa with other frens..thanks to mr.vivek,our english teacher who managed d trip..

d restaurant is unique..where it was built on d sea…yess ON d sea..we had to walk across a platform to reach d main entrance..d view was quite nice..

n we paid rm20 for d nite..AND we can eat ANYTHING n AS MUCH as we want..its kinda steamboat thingy..whr we cook our dinner ourselves..

here are some of our pictures…sorry for the mess on d table..erk..lapar bah..lol =P maka x posa..hihi
