Anyway, I celebrated by going ke Miri sama cMeiLing.

I guess, you celebrate how you want to celebrate your special day. Do what makes you happy. ✌️

Staying home on the weekends

Hello friends

Welcome

Its considered summer here in Brunei and its been really hot!
Not that our country isn't always, but right now its exceedingly hot. Even my airconditioner could not be any cooler during day time. its frustrating.
So, I'm composing this, trying to be calm, and set my mind into cool mode.
but I'm still sweating bucket.

So,

first off, 

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO THE BESTIE, ZOEY! you're getting old. muahahaha and you can't say I'm older coz we the same age now. *merong*

Second off, 
I've been staying at home since yesterday (Saturday), and only went out this morning to buy food coz you know I don't cook. 
Hence, me having some time to 'explore' things.
Continue to read below. 

≖‿≖

I don't know when but the furthest would be last month, I saw a post on IG probably with the hashtag Studygram, and I saw a study table similar to mine. (I couldnt find that post :S )
this study table has a build-in cabinet and board-like features. 

*sample* how the original looks like.

What I did with mine was, I bought a cork board, thinking there's no way I'm gonna put glue or sellotape on my precious build-in white board. 

how mine looks like. don't judge my clutter. :P

and you should know, I have this study table for three years now.

back to the IG post,in it however, I noticed the owner has four magnetic button on her board features. 

Really, this is what I saw on that IG's post. that's why I'm confident in saying its magnet buttons. 

LOL

I frowned and thought, "ada magnet wah?" and made a mental note to try on mine later on, coz I wasn't home when I saw that IG post.
but being me, I forgot all about the 'testing' later on and only remembered to try it last night.

I previously bought these cute magnets and planned on putting it on my board using a blue tack

but what do you know? ⊂•⊃_⊂•⊃
the board really is magnetic.

seriously?! I have this table for 3 years and not know the board is magnetic?! 

╚(•⌂•)╝ whaaaaaaaat?


ahahah that's old people for you. 

if it wasn't for that IG post, I'd probably die not knowing. ∧( ‘Θ’ )∧

TGIF: Throw back 14th Sep 2016

HELLO!

I think, I need to reconsider about doing that post about my Japan trip.

butt

I usually ended up talking/typing too much.
I'm afraid that bores people to death

*cringe*

I'll think about it lagi lah.

for now, I wana share this photo.

this was taken by a guy (with a backpack, kinda like the one used for hiking and stuff) on our way up the Inari Mountant, who asked us, "are you really going to go up mountain in flip flops?" and I, with so much exhilaration said, "yeah!"

in all honesty, we (Buzz and I) wasn't planning at all. 
I myself didn't know yg we were at the start of the climb!
I was just trying to get rid of the crowds.
I thought, the higher I get, the less crowded it'd become and we could take photos more peacefully.

So, there we were climbing the stone steps, a step a time (REALLY a step a time coz that 'flip flop' is really quite a challenge if you are not careful), and suddenly this guy started talking to us.
I don't remember much now but I remember him asking the cost of the Kimono to which I nervously replied, "around 3000 yen". 
and then he asked to take a picture of us (the above picture) coz he wondered if we already taken proper picture of just us two.
at first he took one with his phone and then he offered to take one with my phone coz I had mine on my hand at the time.
and then he asked if we really serious going to top with just flip flop. again, I answered yes.
and he hurriedly says his thanks (coz his other friends already ran pass him) and wish us luck with our flip flops. 
as he ran up the steps I shouted, "you too!" to which he turned back one last time, chortling or laughing and continue his ran up the mountain.

What I love most about that moment was, my relief feeling.
I voiced out my gratefulness to Buzz right away.
I told her, that's the longest conversation I have with a stranger. 
in English!
We were on our 6th day in Japan, and that guy reminds me that I can speak English properly and people understand me.
Pasal the last five days, I've been communicating in VERY broken English and often frustrated with myself for not being able to speak Japanese.

CAUTION: I'm not saying my English is great (as you can see from my Grammatical mistake on all of my post), I'm just saying it felt good to speak to a stranger, with my second language, and he understands it, without me struggling to make myself understood. 
that is all.

When we finally back at our hotel, I search for this guy on Instagram, but of course, that mission fail.
coz, I don't know what I should be searching for. 
I search for our photo with the hashtag FushimiInariShrine but do you know how many thousand people uses that hashtag?
let me tell you.
TERLALU BANYAK!
So, I gave up.

I regret not being brave enough to ask to take picture of him or with him too.
I couldn't even remember his face.

I guess, thank you sir! 
for the small talk. 
for taking proper picture of us two. 
I also hope that you are not a psycho or a creep. 
I pray that you are genuinely a good and nice person.

a/n: I am inspired to make another post  ≧◡≦

Happy Birthday Future Husband

Onew turned 27 (kiraan real world) today.

and I am torn between posting a blonde era Onew or recent era Onew.

I mean, he'll be gojus on any era but I'm still torn.

maybe I should post GIFs?

let's post GIF first

View era

. . .

The following GIFs are my source of life at the moment.

Onew is soo precious!
(I know its an old sets of GIFs but they are still relevant today)

. . .

atu saja GIFs yg aku rajin load.

So, next is Onew Gorgeousness appreciation post

I agree, Minho. I. Agree.

. . .

Ok, that is all for today's post.

I hope you enjoy my Onew-ness.

He gojus, right? xD

. . .

Az Nuur -씨!! Get a grip!

my phone been asking me to update so many applications this past few days that it annoys me. Ծ_Ծ

it's not because there are a lot of Apps to update but because internet connection sucks!  ┻━┻ ︵ヽ(`Д´)ﾉ︵ ┻━┻

No, not the reason why I haven't update anything here. that reason lies at me being super lazy. NE v(=∩_∩=)ﾌ

I often check my blog thru my phone and I noticed the last two posts' thumbnails are the same; Descendant of the Sun punya picture.
Like, Az Nuur! do your homework! ლ(́◉◞౪◟◉‵ლ

You know I've been waching Barbie Life in the Dreamhouse, right? 
Well, there's this one episode where Teresa went 'Diva' during Raquelle's half birthday and I thought, "When is my half birthday?" 
If my math is correct, my half birthday would be in March!
and here I am browsing bookdepository.com (well, not really now, since I'm composing this post. but you know, in between composing and last night, this morning at the office, etc. you get the point), furiously clicking the Add To Basket button. So far I am up to 11 (ELEVEN!) books to buy myself as my half birthday present (▰˘◡˘▰)
I know 'half birthday' isn't a real thing but it's fun and exciting when you think about buying yourselves a birthday present!

What else?

Well, I made a new phonecase base on below picture (not mine)


Supervisor asked me to make one for her and I told her that I will give it a try first.


it's not perfect but I think I did alright

I always said that I'm not very creative but when something like this happened, I believed again.
that, really, all the bad qualities in you are all in your head. 
you are perfect just the way you are. Don't ever change. I mean, change for the better ok lah. Just don't change who you are just to make other people happy. Coz, you are other people too, and you deserve to be happy.

aseh, panjang polanngg.
but 진짜요 , I'm proud of myself being able to make it! it's colorful! and i love colors! 
Well done, Az Nuur! 잘한다

on another note,
Song Joong Ki is my new future husband!
can you believe that a few weeks ago I kept going on and on about how I can't wait to watch DOTS because cOnew in it? and that I don't even know what the two main characters' story was all about?
Well, that 'feel' is gone.
Onew's charater; ChiHun is some what a rich kid who became a doctor, has a wife and baby on the way. from Episode 7 (Brunei time. coz in Korea, tonight is already Episode 9), ChiHun family is actually pretty rich; financed/invested in the military communication satelite, owns the land that hospital stands on. . . . anyway! as much as I love SHINee Leader Onew 입니다 , I'm just so in love with how sweet and cute ShiJin (JoongKi's character) expressions are when he's with Dr. Kang (HyeKyo's character).

My love for Onew will resume when this drama ended. Don't worry.

Ok, i think this should be enough for this post.
till next time! 안녕

Long Overdue

Hello people,
miss me?
Bet you do.

What have I been doing? Nothing important.
Mostly I've been lazying around.
Per usual.
☜-(ΘLΘ)-☞

but I should share with you this;

I am back into planning my birthday trip to Japan. next year.

YAY ME ＼(▽￣＼(￣▽￣)／￣▽)／

It was supposed to be a solo trip.

It could still end up that way.

We'll see.

For now, I am planning this like it is still my birthday solo trip!

I know, some may asked, "Bukan ko kan ke Korea first kh?" 
maybe. 
But I thought long and hard on that. 
then I realized, my love for Harry Potter is far more greater than for Korea. ┌( ಠ‿ಠ)┘

Besides, after Key posted the above picture, I JUST. HAVE. TO. GO. THERE. TOO.

see? still SHINee related mission. hahaha 

I swear, if Hogwarts theme park kena open di Universal Studio Singapore, I'll be going to Singapore, at least, yearly. hahaha Yes, I'm a crazy potterhead.

No matter what, I will see this trip thru. On my birthday. I will make it happen!

. . .

a/n: First thing first; I need to buy that pod thingy for solo-ist trip selfies.

. . .

Happy Belated Birthday

Happy Belated Birthday Jessica.
I know from your post you had a blast!

Here's to many more years to come 

. . .

the 28th Birthday

Gosh I'm getting old.

but that's just how I feel when I look at the number.

Inside, honestly I feel normal. I still feel, well, me.

10th Sep

Spent most of my day time at home and in the toilet (coz I was sick with diarrhea. I still am ┐(‘～`；)┌)

Evening time, 

I went to the movie with Zawir. thanks for the movie treat, dude! 

he bought me a cupcake 

but since i was still sick, I didn't dare to eat it and plan on eating it at home but in our hurry, we lupa to bring the cupcake with us from the food court. hahaha

Scorch Trials, I can't rate it. Coz I am not happy with the 'zombie Apocalypse' . So, when I got home from the movie, aku tarus download the ebook. page 99 now. and you can just tell how much I love the book already. ◎[‿]◎

12th Sep

Lepak time with Geng Keras (+ 1 a.k.a. Kuch's Husband)

they surprised me with cakes (yes, cakes; a RedVelvet cupcake from Buzz, a rainbow cake from Kuch and Chocolate cake from Zawir; he said, 'no more utang ahh' LOL).

THANK YOU GUYS! You awesome! I was touched and thankful. as cKuch's husband said. "saranghaeyo" LOL (and I replied as I clapped 'my work here is done!') ♥‿♥

I was still sick of course, and felt sorry for them coz I kept disappearing to the toilet like, more than necessary LOL Sorry guys. I'll make sure my health will be in order by the next time we hang out. :D

on a brighter note, it has been a fun birthday altogether. ( ･_･)♡

thank you.

. . .

Why I can't open my IG in public

Coz my feed, at an unknown time of the day, will be filled with below

abs abs abs abs

"My body is ready" is genius though hahaha

trust me, this three posts are like the tip of an iceberg.

a couple of days ago, the same account posted some nasty pornic 'imagine' posts.

I was so horrified that I didn't open my IG for the rest of the day until I get home.

I wanted to unfollow but when she is not so (excuse my language) horny, she posted some legit awesome cuts of SHINee videos and pictures. and she hella funny too.

I guess the Pornography post was her way of being funny. but

OH MAI GOAT! BEHAVE YOURSELF!

These were posted by a 13-16 years old! (or may be she's like 17 or 18 but I duno, I'm not gonna ask. like, why would I wana do that?) I'm 28 (yes! 28 today! Happy Happy Birthday!) and seeing this on my feed while in public still makes me blush/shameful like mad! those posts are pg18 at least!
on another note; I am glad that they are aware of this sex subject coz from what I've read and saw on TV, it is ok to educate youngster about 'sex'. It actually lowers the rate of teen pregnancies. *shrugged*

oh Don't get me wrong. I like watching posts of SHINee's abs, I do. honestly. but when some mother sat next to you while you are waiting in a Q, and she looked at your phone (my iphone 6+ has a big screen and people can just read from beside me!) and saw some skin on it, they won't be very open minded about it. especially in Brunei. as open minded and liberal can one be, it is still a conservative country. :S sorry, makcik. didn't mean for you to see that was all I said in my head. LOL

However, that Onew still has his not-showing-my-body game so strong. 



We MVPs had to accept the fact that he'd forever be private and respect him for that life choice. Like, no, we are content with his body gags and randomness. we. are. content.

about the only thing we can do.◃┆◉◡◉┆▷

But we still have some OnGuns to look forward to, don't we? Lets us be grateful for OnGuns.

For those who doesn't know what OnGuns are, here's what you need to know;

This was from Everybody era.

This was from Law of the Jungle (also during Everybody era).

(also Everybody era) SHINee performing in a club. like, celebrating they all are now legal to enter a club, I guess. LOL

This was from Hello Baby, during Ring Ding Dong/Jojo era.

This was from Lucifer era.

We MVPs may not have OnAbs but our OnGuns are awesome!
hahaha

Onew can be so much cooler but he chooses to be weird, I don' know. 









these are some of the examples. You can enjoy some more randomness when you youtube 'Onew Sangtae' or Onew weird or Onew, I don't know. just try it. You may come across something so weird about Onew one way or another HAHAHAHAH

. . .

You can't be mean, it's my birthday post and I will post as much of Onew as possible.

muahahahaha

. . .

cr: Non of the above images/gifs/videos are mine. I borrowed them for the purpose of sharing my love for SHINee, esp Onew. I don't get paid posting them, Heck, I don't get paid doing this blog! So,chill... 

. . .

Onew day

Yesh!
It's Onew's birthday today!

Happy Birthday!

he's (in real calender) 25 now. 


and everybody else is like hashtag twentysixYearsWithOnew. -.- I'm not even gona go there.

I haven't seen any picture from their final concert date in Osaka today. I wonder if it was as cake smashing ly awesome as Minho's.

anyhoo

Onew's getting old.

*snorts*

11th Sep

I was back to work the day after my birthday (I'm always on leave on my birthday ;) ).

and being the nice person that they are, my colleagues decided to surprise me with a cake PLUS a birthday song. they meant well, of course, but I was embarrassed. 

 
I never like attention. not publicly like that. but i blew the candles at the very end just to give people a show.

it was a very pretty (and yummy) pink cake.

thank you all for your kind thoughts. hugs.

BUT

one person (or two. or three) had to be a menace and 'wrap' my car. 

Jauh sudah ku park tu ah, sanggup durang mencari bah di mana kereta ku..I know they meant it for the fun of it, so, malas tah ku jua kan marah2 (marah2 coz i was the one yg had to 'clean it up'). 

I kinda like the gesture pulang. like, 'they remember my birthday' kinda squeal. 

although, after I posted this on my IG, people went 'Happy Birthday' on me. I want to correct them yg it was actually a 'belated' but malas ku menaip ah. Ended up, I just thank them. it did feels like my birthday all over again. So, thank you guys~!

a/n: this would be the second year they did this to my car. I'm not going to bring my car for the whole of September next year. muahahaha

. . .

10th Sep

I have turned 27!!!

no, i wasn't that excited but I'm sure as hell not going to deny it anymore.

LOL
anyhoo..

utk memulakn cerita, I just wana share a short version of how my day went on during the 10th of Sep.

it didn't start off well. I spent half my morning at the workshop 

coz my car broke down the night before. but even that wasn't all bad; I finished reading my book The Moment Collector by Jodi Lynn Anderson that day (which is a very rare accomplishment these days).
and since it was my birthday, my family members were generous and gave me money as birthday present, as a way to pay for my broken (now fixed) car. I can stop saying 'alhamdulillah'. I was somewhat lucky that day despite the broken (now fixed) car. SO thank you family members! I love you!

then, during dinner, I was given a birthday surprise by two beloved friends; Bazilah and Zawir. I cried. and I got lovely presents from them too. thank you lovelies.

pastu, we spent some 'wasting time till 1am' time at the empire. did you know you can just walk in there eventhough you are not guest at the hotel? No? well, now you do. 

all in all, it was a good birthday. I wouldn't wanna have it any other way.

thank you all.

a/n: my birthday present to my self came early; Harry Potter diary and a Anchor casing (bought from eBay). Love it. xD
