Hamster House Renovation (HHR!)

The remodeling was not once, but twice, just because i had a better idea after i was done the forst time. and when i write in a way that says i work alone, i mean i work alone, in renovating my hamsters 'house'. (and my lil sis's on the side..)
The original design was like so..



Then i did the renovation. I didnt take a picture of the first one, but it looks similar to the final result below..



It looks weird in the pic, but the main difference is that if you see carefully, there are 3 tunnel openings on the wood dust which connects to the semi transparent pink plastic which acts as the main house or burrow. The green disc is its treadmill (plastic mill) and is actually on top of one of the tunnels. I wanted to recreate the hamsters original wilderness environment..

Its not that somebody will care about this posting of information, but i am too exited about it to care. It took me a full half hour just to arrange it, and my lil sis's hamster house too. All done spontaneously o.O

Report on weekend Kampung trip

I pulled myself together to write this post. I feel like it is my duty to update my blog to certain peoples that I love >_0!

This post will be about my trip to my kampung at Kedah. I don’t usually (rarely) like going back. I always think that the kampung people thinks I’m a wimp (which is actually true) and a sissy (might be true) and treats me accordingly. Maybe its because of my fondness of long hairs and my love of certain things. Anyhow, this time, its different because I actually look more manly with my short hair (I still don’t like it) and the fact that I didn’t resist going.

Straight from the highway, we went to the usual Pak Ya (a traditional medicine man), and spend significant time as usual. When we finally reach my grandma’s house, I was relieved that there are not that many people as usual. Almost immediately I went out with my Tok Ngah to fetch my Mak Su (whom I don’t even know who the heck!!). Then after eating some kampung chicken (eating them is art!) and some ‘tapai’ (really sweet!), went out to The Store and wasted RM2 when buying an eyedropper at Guardian when I should have bought it at a much cheaper Watson’s store. My dad got maxis broadband by the way.

The next morning, I paid for 15 nasi lemak for everyone home including myself and RM4 or kuih. I keep convincing myself that I love charity. Then we went to Pak Ya again (its advised to go 3 times). On the way back, we stopped at some mosques to get a few bottles of their kolah water (????) and rested at home. Resting means more art-eating-kampung-chicken-with-tapai activity (full hour) and Star World channel. Then my parents return from tudung shopping and we visited my Pak Chak (eldest). He treated us to his dusun of Longan (I don’t eat, dunno why). More importantly, I met a very significant person in my life there. He initiated a very (80%) change in my personality and interest development of my life (wow!!!). but we just exchanged a sentence, ‘touched’ for a second (real time) and I had to get to the car. We’re going to Pak Ya again for the 3rd session. I really wished to stay. We reached home by 8 and we just chilled at home watching tv and sleeping early. I still woke up late though. Couldn’t sleep. Dunno why.

Its Monday and we’re finally going back. I again bought 15 nasi lemak. But this time, I got RM2 rebate (the eggs ran out) and a free gift!!!( plastic for sambal ran out, she gave us a Tupperware!!). that was the best food seller I met in my life. Anyway, we visited Pak Ya (again) and start our way home. Starting prom Pak Ya’s house, in Kulim, I drove all the way to Seremban. We made a pit stop to Shah Alam. I needed to take my check from MSU and psp and hamster wheel that I left at MAIS. We reached home around 7.30. I was so exhausted and slept at 9. But I woke up at 5 in the morning (god woke me up) to pray isyak.

And then I realized that I have only ONE MORE WEEK OF HOLIDAY LEFT!!!! WTF!!!!

Late Post: Best 26

Its really been a long time since I’ve posted anything here. I would love to, but I keep having things i would rather do with the laptop of mine. Finally i have enough attention and boredom to write this post.

Since its been a long time, I would like to post a story about the best 26 hours of my life (so far).

By 26 hours, i mean from 12 midday to 2 pm. It was Sunday and I returned back to Shah Alam for a trip to Sunway Pyramid for some ice skating with my class&/scholarshipmates(its a pun). We went almost together (difference in the timeline and point of origin), and arrived to Sunway almost together. It was my first time there. I keep pointing at everything I see. When that gets old, I keep purposely getting left behind to keep pointing by myself. The people there were also very impressive (by 'impressive' I mean 'damn-that's-a-very-hot-homosapien'). I met the love of my life, A&W (my stomach is biologically my life), but I betrayed her by eating at giant, scraped from the others in fact.

Before i forget, the people who went are Amin, Ammar, Aiman, Aiman, Afiq, Azizi, Faris, Fidot, Helmy, Mustakim, Shanubar. This is reference to my delight and my point of hatred for the day (by 'hate' I mean 'I-am-very-very-very-jealous-of-u')

Then after zohor we finally went ice skating. IT WAS DAMN HARD!!!!!yet very enjoyable. At first most of us started drifting to the walls for salvation, some of us with pre-rollerblade-experience, came to our aid. These people that I 'hate' are Aiman, Aiman, and Azizi, but I cant hate azizi because of a future sentence in this post, so I replace him with Shanubar whom I will hate later in the post.

I just tried copying what others around me (who are not drifting, and very cute) were doing. Slowly I progressed to a fall(s). This is where azizi came and help me. The first few seconds were literally me hugging him as I try to apply his methods (this would sound so dirty if it was not about skating). Then he held me in his arms until I could move (labor?). Then he slowly let go of me as I move forward (break?). It was like a romance movie where the boyfriend teaches the girlfriend to skate (what was it again?), only weirder. I'm weird. Face it.

I then spend an entire hour learning the basics of skating. Then we had to stop for rink-cleaning after i wet myself, in melted ice, for falling more that I was supposed to(5). Then I brought my hubby a drink and texted my date for tonight. Then we continue with the skating. At this point, I could move at a speed-walking speed, but still cant challenge my savior/teacher of the day, the other guys with rollerblade experience, and Shanubar(this is why I 'hate' him). It is to note that by this time, half of us already went back, one of us was injured (get well soon aiman!), and another is still weird. We skated for another hour before we finally stop for asar, around 6pm.

Then me, Azizi :) and Shanubar >:( , the last to leave Sunway, decided to eat ramen at Sushi King. Before the ramen-ing begins, I brought Azizi a pretzel. It was his and mine first pretzel. It was sugar and cinnamon flavored. It was nice sharing. The azizi ate ramen, shanubar ate bento, and I ate udon. It was the best japanese meal of my life, mainly not because of the food (49% food).

Then we head back to Shah Alam to PAS, which azizi didn’t follow, sadly, to buy me and Shanubar new shoes. I thought I would buy the promotional ones, but some genetic code disorder occurred (they don’t have my size) and I bought a promotionless Quicksilver shoes and shanubar also shoes that are in any way have a discount.

We went back to MAIS, I took a quick shower, and waited for my date outside of McD. I got in the car, and after 3 minutes of not deciding where to go, it was decided that we will go to Genting Highland (it was 12 at the time!!). Along the way, we bought McD. I fed the driver while eating some of it. The scenery along the way, even Shah Alam, at night, were breathtaking. Literally. It was beautiful. No cars, no smoke, so many lights, so many views. The journey that night was the most beautiful journey I’ve been in my life.

When we arrived, we looked for a hotel to stay, but all hotels were 'full house' but we kept looking. Walking after a day's skating was not easy. And finally got a room with my date's amazing social skills (not really. A guy offered us). We slept comfortably. A night at genting. Finally. We checked out in the afternoon. We ate Kenny Roger's for lunch/breakfast. We descended. We had to hurry so driving was very skillful for a proton Perdana. Zipped through Shah Alam traffic. Dropped me to MAIS. Thanked for a very nice night, and prepare for going back home.
