why the hell are my pants gettin tighter??! especially at the thighs region heading ms crotch junction? i suppose i dont need undies for i know they wont be havin enough space to dangle anyways...*ahem*
i need to lose weight. i need to run this weekend. and i need to do those sit-ups again. at work today, i ate tonnes! they ordered what...er Sarpino's Pizzas?? Yeah two gluttony LARGE pans with 16 chicken parts and chilled coke. AND i still have some rooms left spartan.. so i stuffed them with Double-A paper for the time being. Mann... they're nasty.
i, am one of those weirdos, who would, on most occasion, fall asleep after drinking coffee whether its a black, white or purple coffee. but i found out that if i have that latte beside me, i'm as good as Barney in speedos. wonder why the strangeness. maybe its just me.
And.... Pamela Moley Scholls' been gettin on my anal nerves again. Pure deep red is the latest shade for the season.
Shit i'm crapping again.

+ My letter
Dear Ms Qamaruhuda,
Thank you for attending our Fire Evacuation Drill Seminar on 21 Sept 2005.
Based on your earlier performance, we are of the view that you definitely suck at extinguishing that small fire with the help of the CO2 extinguisher. However, with much respect to your great determination and good fashion sense, we hereby believe that you are somewhat qualified and we will be grateful if you continue your quest in becoming the 17th Floor Fire Warden.
In light of your incapabilities, we are pleased to inform you that we will be conducting a couple of exercises in relation to putting out fires. One of which (which we highly recommend that you attend) is the seminar called "The Idiots Guide to Extinguishing A Spark" which is scheduled to be held at East Coast Park playground C. Our guest of honour (person has yet to be confirmed.. *calling asree*), will be conducting exercises to further educate you with the basic techniques of extinguishing small fires effectively.
We understand that you are required to manage matters at home right after office hours. As such, we have copied this letter to your father enclosing our letter of consent for his approval. Once your father has duly signed the said form, kindly let us have the form by end of the month.
We look forward to meeting you in the upcoming event. Should you have any queries, please do not hesitate to call us at 1800-THIS-IDIOT-NEEDS-HELP.
Yours sincerely,
Fire Safety Team

Scene: At The Pantry.Time check: 1600hrs.
Huda seen chewing on the free marshmallow on her way to get herself that drink after her peeing session. Spotted irene and goz. Always busy talkin abt ....life.
"HELLO!!" i shrieked.
"oi!.. ahh.. Hudaaaa..." said Irene.
"hey sweetie.." said Goz and winked at me.
i quickly swallowed that final tiny piece of the marshmallow, chewing abit of that chicken flake stuck in between the Wisdoms from lunch.. and i smiled back at them.
then the world shook. the unthinkable thing happened.
"ehh! you really put on weight ah!!!"
i looked at irene. then at goz. being goz, he walked away while sipping that 3in1 coffee mix he brought from home..
"ermm...." i muttered.
"ehh! no la... you look better!! really! more full!" irene spoke.
....

+ The Reds
Yesterday evening, i met up my bunch of friends from tp. dip's friends to be exact. had the chalet at pasir ris.. was great seein them all again. though this time around, it got slightly different w/o the lead guy in sight. food was great! as usual. thanks to rizal (more credits to his mom of course), i seriously think the chicken tasted better!~ their constant jokes and antics never fail to amuse me... damn, i miss school!! Spoke to dip later that night. it was nice.. :)
Went to visit my grandfather sometime in the evening today, but rushed home quickly to catch the match at Anfield. Yawwnz.. Sure, i still have that crazy lil' kid in me chanting to You'll Never Walk Alone. But i was hoping for a goal at least from either sides... but BORING!! goalless draw! hmmph! think i almost fell asleep halfway. AND also since i've completely lost track of EPL, i hardly recognize some of the guys on pitch. Peter Crouch? Luis Garcia? Stephen Warnock?!
Where the hell are they from??!!
grrrrsshh!!!!
I miss Steve Mcmanaman!!!

+ A day to remember
So on wednesday evening, while i was busy eating the apple and sitting on top of my sister's cute tummy, my phone beeped. the msg reads :
Baby Jordan has arrived!
Weighing 3.28kg, he was born at 8.33pm.
Baby and mother are ok.
We'll be in room 619, thomson medical centre.
Thanks.
I leaped in delight upon reading the msg from mel's hubby! oh yes, and completely forgot that my sister's tummy was crushing, she started coughing and slapped me in the head after she regain her breathing. Havent been that excited for quite a while now! So happy!!
This morning at work, told the peeps abt the great news. made plans with a few of the lawyers in mel's team to go visit her after work. mel looked great! geezzz i should sooo get one of those lilac coloured silk pajamas she had on!! *sheesh* and yes, baby Jordan looked great. he's like fair, with beautiful lips (eh.. like mine ah...) and he's got nice hair! eekk! he was delivered alil late so he looked all grown up for some reason. mel was like "can u believe THAT was in me!! and dont even ask how the hell it got out!" No doubt, seeing Jordan sleepin peacefully on his own, left me feelin emotionally happy then. jordan's one hella cute little baby! he simply took my breath away..
i am sooo happy for my girl, mel! and her husband.. guess what! her birthday's tomorrow! now, that's one special delivery from God.. :)
Oh and this morning too, while i was busy ironing my work clothes at the very last minutes, received a call from some unfamiliar guy, lookin for my dad. He was watering the plants then, so i passed the phone to him at the balcony. Few minutes later, my dad got changed and went out. Asked where he's going to, he said he'll be at the hospital. I said ok, thinking that its one of his medical appointments.
At work sometime around 930am, my dad's sister called. Askin for my dad's mobile no. She told me that grandpa's in the hospital. he fell on his way down to the shop this morning and that he started vomitting. shocked, i call my dad up and asked if he's with grandpa and if grandpa's fine. with that calm tone to his voice, he assured that grandpa's ok. didnt elaborate much though.. so i thought ok.
felt uncomfortable for a moment there.
its quite a norm for my dad having not to tell me things esp. when it comes to grandpa. dont know why. mom used to say that maybe he didnt wanna scare me. perhaps so.
I took the cab home from the hospital. the fella kept talking to me in chinese again.

+ Big Butts
I've had lots of things in my head. From the research i had to do at work to life in general. Decide to go over to my colleague's place right after work, together with watie. the 3 of us bought dinner at the nearby foodcourt and head over to Ann's place. Been wanting to go over and probably spend the night at her place since weeks back, but just didnt had the time to. Thing is, she's got the place all to herself and that she's always loved the idea of havin a sleepover at her crib. Think i ought to plan that slumber party sometime soon!So... i had Yong Tau Foo a.k.a ward 53 bed 15 cuisine. *snorts* watie had noodles and we shared the popiah, char kway and takobashi (isit?) balls. nice~ gd food amongst fabulous company. after dinner, watie headed straight for the treadmill. hahah.... with Ann's supervision of course, while i let loose and get comfy on the couch with my F.R.I.E.N.D.S burpin nonchalently and oh so loudly to the tune of I'll be there for you.
Damn! i can feel my balls...

+ The SiMs
So...I've not been online since a decade ago, due to the presence of my brother who was constantly hogging the computer 24/7 for the last 3 days to finish up his assignment. I realized that I can do good without internet after all! My journey to the asylum for internet addicts aren't so clear already! Sure is great to be normal again. I love my mom.
So last Saturday, me and D headed down to the SIM's Open House event. My severe inability of being punctual on that day caused D's level of intellectuality in terms of her directions seems to deplete by alittle. We were suppose to meet up at City Hall and board the train that heads west. She ended up waiting for me at the platform where the train heads East. And I was already on board the train. I alighted at Raffles Place instead and waited for her. After all that obstacles and challenges we painfully had to go through, we finally reunite once again. Hahah.. sorry D!!! Luv ya! :p Asree. A kind hearted soul who never fails to lost his way on the streets of Singapore, came by to pick us up from clementi station and drove us to SIM. What a great person he is. One who is always caring and forever thoughtful for his friends. He, once again, fetched us from the campus and dropped us off at Orchard. Such a nice man he is... sigh~ tsk tsk.
Here are my views of SIM:
1. only 2 canteens
2. 1 storey library
3. a lot of Chinese guys
4. Bachelor of Science in Mgt with Law offers Part-time degree only
5. their ring files costs $2.90 each
6. tones of staircases
7. bus no. 151 stops at the Toa Payoh highway
Not too sure if I'm heading that direction towards Clementi for the next 3 yrs as yet. I'm still waiting for a sign.

+ Work that thing
Speakin of which, i was ubber late for work today. board the train at 9am. yeah. i knew it was pointless to rush hence, i seized every moment there is with great patience. called irene, told her that i'll be late. i leaned back against the seat feelin somewhat relieved. reached the office around 920. and i couldnt find my access card. great.
Should i even mention how my whole day was? i was glued to the computer like nobody's business. drafting advice, letters, emails... by the end of the day i'm completely loss for words. by 1745hrs i humbly excused myself and head home with wati. we had quite a bit of chat on the way back. she alighted the same station as me, and i hang out with her for about 15 mins while waiting for the husband. i too stood there waiting for my husband till wati finally break the news to me. "huda, you're not married.."
its hard to keep up with things when you're ageing.
love this tune by Maroon 5. whatever version this is.... Adam's still hawwwt!!~

+ green door
My tuesday's pretty fine. i took urgent leave from work to send my grandmother to the hospital for her checkup sometime around 10 in the morning. had to leave home like around 8 today. decide to spend the night over at their place since it has been a long time since i did that. right after her usuals, we went to clementi to get some food for grandpa and i bought junkies for both idra and haekal. we finally got home a quarter past noon, cooked abit for lunch and ate. guess i've been caught up with lots of stuff in my head lately, that straight after lunch, i landed on one of the beds in the house and bumped out for the next 4 hrs. managed to speak to nizam before that. sure glad he's doing fine.
spoke to my fav coffee guy yesterday. pleased to know that he's doing great too. thank you, dip.

+ Baby Dont Let Go
Right now as i speak (or type rather) i'm feelin less ordinary than the usual. i think i've got a partial nose block. And no i didnt stick a 2B pencil in. Cos i've checked. three times in total. Its actually the initial stages of gettin the flu. Yup, i'm going through that phase now. and its sure is wonderful. might sound insane when i say this, but i'd love to get sick. its been a while now since i last visit the doctor. so takin medical leave sounds promising to me. for now, i shall just wait.
Yknow i've this thing for pictures. Be it graphics or just a simple piece of painting, i like to gaze at them and try my darnest to feel inspired. Went to my fav site. Called DeviantArt. Love the pictures there. it was my boring brother who introduced that site to me sometime last yr, and i just love it. While i was looking through the recent updates, i stumbled upon this one.
Now this masterpiece is titled: Boys In Love
I dont know how to feel inspired. I'm sorry. I've tried.
