Grr. The redness of my left eye is back. It’s all my fault, really. Midday today, I thought I could give my contacts a shot, but after more than five hours, my left eye started to tire. And I was supposed to play netball after work, and I hate playing with glasses on since they’re not exactly cheap.

So I stuck with it. Until I came home, which was about 8.30 — a long way past midday there my friend — and discovered my eye (only left, mind) was RED. Seriously. I could’ve scared myself if I didn’t know I was looking into a mirror. I had the contacts taken and thrown out, and now it just feels tired.

Blah. I’m just not used to wearing glasses, you know? Not anymore anyway. To add to that, I like my tudongs better without the ‘bumps’ the temple pieces make on the side of my face.

I am bored. Looking forward to the weekend, I’ll be spending time with some friends over some good food and a movie. Yeay.  Goodness, I am a pretty boring blogger, aren’t I? Hahaha.

I’ll have something interesting soon. Maybe.

$#*@!!

I remember this time of year when results were out. My O’s and A’s are not my proudest qualifications. I still feel like crying when I tell people what I had gotten for them. Even more so when they don’t believe me. Ingat aku ni pandai sangat kah? HAHA. Yea, yea, I sound like a smart ass most of the time kan? Macam tin kosong. So embarrassing. But anyway!

I just read Nees’ post (the one who disappeared off the public blogging scene and embraced Multiply’s blog posts for certain users only), and she passed her A levels with seriously flying colours!! One A, and two Bs!! REALLY NOW. I just feel so proud of her. Hee. CONGRATULATIONS!!

My cousin, Qil, also passed her A levels, and congratulations to her! Her brother, Mamat, attained 7 O’s! So congratulations to you both, I’ll be expecting you to pay for my food in two different dinners/luncheons. Hahaha. Maybe just a movie on a Saturday night, yea?

To my other cousin who did not do so well, dust yourself off, dear brother. It’s better to fall now than when you are up so high. Hugs. You know you’re one of our favourites! You’ll do well in the future. InshaAllah.

So, people. If your sons and/or daughters didn’t do so well, don’t be so hard on them. Search the Internet, they may have a blog and be all angry and depressed because you’re just not satisfied with their 5 O’s. There is always hope.

I am a great example of that.

I think it’s confirmed that YouTube has been blocked in the country — I’m not sure banned, I wouldn’t use that word yet — as I can access the website using, ahem, another way.

It did say “We are currently performing site maintenance. Be cool - we’ll be back 100% in a bit,” but I don’t think it affects access to the website.

It still can’t play the videos, however.

So, Internet-savvy people. Any ideas?

(I read a post by Miss M, otherwise, I would have no idea at all.)

*sobs* I am dizzy. I haven’t had dizzy bouts since ages, and I now remember why I don’t miss them. Had the first one in the office, and I thought I could handle it. Apparently, I couldn’t. Head myself to the clinic, got myself permission to stay at home and rest.

So I did. I knew I was going to get an interrogation from my mom, but I just took the time to get myself that rest I needed before lunch time rolled in. And I was right! The moment she got back, I assumed our maid just told her I had come home early, she burst into the room, and asked, “BANAR KAU PANING?”

I don’t know if you can roll your eyes mentally, but I definitely did. Because I didn’t have my eyes open and I sure didn’t feel like my eyes were rolling. Followed by her loud question, she switched on the bright lights and asked me a couple more. Loudly.

Not that I’m complaining, but really. You need to give someone a break. Especially when they’re dizzy. Having colossal headaches. And she kept on asking whether I’m having a headache (sakit kepala) or just dizzy (paning). I never really get the difference as I usually get both at the same time anyway, but she keeps on asking me the same questions over and over again. Or it’s possibly the result of my dizziness that everything she asks just multiplies itself.

In the end, she convinced me to have myself eat lunch consisting of rice, chicken and vegetables. Then, I find myself not wanting to lie back down because of the said meal.

And now I’m here. Dizzy as hell, but better since I swallowed the pill the doctor prescribed to me.

Planned on asking someone to watch a movie with me tonight, but I guess that plan is not going to work now. But. My family is a firm believer that laughter is the best medicine, so my mom’s going to take me out, and possibly take my mind off things. And maybe put in a laugh or two.

Ooh. Maybe I can try Beechams now.

I just remembered a funny dialogue that I shared with a friend during a fancy, albeit small, birthday party. It goes something like this:

Me: I feel fat.
Her: At least you’re pretty.

LOL. You just had to be there.

Movies I really want to watch but can’t because I have no one to go with;

• Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street
• The Game Plan
• Meet The Spartans

Well, I usually watch movies with my younger cousins since I have them more than willing to go because they don’t have plans, but they are still in school and I simply can’t make them pay for their tickets! And I’m not the kind who will bring just one or two, because the others will end up knowing about it, and I’ll feel as if I owed them something and should have brought them along. Yes. Maybe I am that nice, but that’s just the way I am raised. And I’m mighty proud of it.

Anyway. How I wish the boyfriend was in Brunei so I can just bring him along. He’ll like Meet The Spartans. I think.

Ooh! Maurina and Atul just left my house after four hours of Guitar Hero 3 session. It was fun! Especially towards the battle mode. I kicked behinds. HA.

Some funny things that happened;

• Maurina and I attempted Metallica’s One on expert mode. We both didn’t know which buttons we were pressing!
• When we finished, I wished I had “five” fingers, so I could press on all the buttons, when I should have wished for “six”, because I already have five!! Haha. The exact line went like this, “Cubatah aku ani ada lima jari,” and Maurina said, “ANDANG JUA ADA LIMA!!” Hahahaha. I meant five, excluding the thumb! LOL. Such a ditz.d
• Atul and I are used to being righty with the guitar controller, and Maurina lefty, but at some point, we decided to switch. It was an interesting experience, to say the least.
• The three of us also switched screens. We set the options to ‘lefty’, but we played righty — and vice versa for Maurina. Haha. That was fun too. Atul even came up with theories on how I did better when we switched screens! LOL. (Colour *****, Number *****, and Sequence *****. HAHAHA.)

There were more extremely hilarious bits that happened in between and during play (like the flying console), but I don’t think the two girls would like me to tell. Haha.

I don’t have pictures, but the two girls do, so maybe after a few quick snatches, I’ll put them up.

[ADDED] If you’d like to take a look at how the day went, go here!

First it was Brad Renfro. Now Heath Ledger?

Possible drug overdose. Really sad, that is.

In other news, I have a horrible headache and back pain. I think it’s because I keep on moving around in bed and can’t sleep well due to the absence of my air-conditioner.

Thankfully, the Internet connection is back to normal.

I do not know what is up with the Internet connection these days. I mean, really. Loading my ‘Write Post’ page takes 10 whole minutes ending up with a wonky format. And last night, I couldn’t connect at all! Well, I could send an email off to somebody important, but that was all my browser could do.

I have tried switching my modem on and off, I even reset the darn thing, but nothing worked.

Mornings are great, though. Connection fabulous.

Evenings? Not so much. I HATE IT. Because it’s in the evening that I use the Internet the most. Actually, I spend four hours on the Internet in the evening alone.

Ha. OK, not really.

I’ve had a pretty busy week at work, but personally very productive!

I didn’t have a delicious Monday, though. LOL.

One of my favourite TV shows is back, and on its seventh season. Unfortunately, to quote a friend, it lacks lustre. It isn’t as funny as it used to be. Maybe the funny writers are on strike. But AI doesn’t use that many writers, or any at all. They have tons of producers. (And editors.)

Other than that.. I have a new woman that I would like to add to my list of “women I want to become.” Which, in the past has only one name on it.

I will share more, but it’s time for me to watch Amazing Race: Asia.

I don’t know what is up with me and doors, but..

I HAVE A HUGE DOOR OPEN!!

And I am very, very, very excited!

I can barely contain it.

But I have to. And I will. So stay put, and you will see what happens.

Before I head back to sleep, the GBN pictures are finally here!

Maurina has been diligently uploading the pictures bit by bit because there is 4.7GB worth of photos! Phew. Even 4.7GB is sort of a mouthful right now. It has to do with me just waking up actually. Which is why I’m going back to bed.

More pictures to come soon, courtesy of Maurina’s uploads.

Thank you, Eyan!!
