dear you, thanks for the bruises..

the easiest way to make a girl happy

Mood : hungry

Assalamualaikum and greetings fellow blog readers! wassup?! =D

okay, don't ask me why I'm all psyched, coz I wouldn't know.. it hasn't been a happy week, it's been hectic and all over the place.. with SIFE, assignments, mid term tests, group projects and discussions while trying to have a normal life is kinda hard to handle at once.. but I'll get through it, insyaAllah.. (^^,)

so back to the topic.. there's actually lots of ways to make a girl happy, but in my opinion, the BEST and EASIEST way is by treating her to her favourite foods.. let's say she loves eating Big Apple doughnuts, or McD, or maybe the local restaurant near your place, all you need to do to make her happy is to spend some time of your day and bring her to the place where her favourite food is located.. easy kan?.. =)

let's say your friend loves Pizzahut, and the nearest Pizzahut is 45km away, 40 minutes travel by car.. so plan a date with your friend (or better yet, surprise her) with a day out, just the two of you.. bring her to the nearest shopping mall first, or catch a movie that she's been dying to see.. don't feed her yet, let her spend her energy walking around in the shopping mall.. she can buy anything, as long as it's her own money la.. but if you want to make her extra happy, you can pay for her purchases too.. hehehe.. so once she's tired, you say, let's go home.. if she says she's hungry, tell her that you don't have time to eat coz you need to complete an errand.. well, technically you do have an errand, which is to surprise her with Pizzahut ftw!.. =D

so get in the car and start driving home.. she might be a little disappointed at first and might not want to talk to you, so be prepared for a whole lot of sulking ya.. you know how emotional we women are.. =) as you're nearing the location of Pizzahut, pretend you're suddenly really hungry and you need to eat something if not you'll die ftw.. and then discreetly mention the name of Pizzahut in the list of places you would like to stop by for a bite or two.. do this while looking at her face, okay?.. you'll see magic in the making.. hehehe.. instantly, you'll see her whole face light up and her eyes sparkle with joy and anticipation.. she'll think you're the best friend or boy friend ever.. she'll love you for it! see, I told you it's the easiest way to make a girl happy..

so what are you waiting for?.. go and make this girl below happy by taking and treating her to her favourite foods at Pizzahut! (^^,)

my first vlogging attempt.. I'm such a NOOB!

Mood : hyped!

Assalamualaikum and hello awesome peeps!

for those who still worry about my horse riding injury, fear not, I have 90% recovered! and it's not coz of the medicines, I wasn't really eating those, they are DRUGS ftw! haha.. okay, sorry, I'm not gonna brainwash you into not eating your medicines, they're good for you (sort of).. hehe.. but I did go to the clinic and had my leg and hip x-rayed.. the doc said I was fine, no broken bones and no fractures, Alhamdulillah.. she did remind me to be careful the next time I go horse riding tho, which I would obviously do.. note to self, falling off a speeding horse is NOT FUN, DO NOT REPEAT.. okay, that piece of information has been stored in my brain.. =D

so back to the tittle of this post.. I have been snooping around blogs and also youtube, which led me to the discovery of two awesome people, Maria Elena and Anwar Hadi.. they are not your ordinary famous people (ie on magazines or tv n stuff) but they are famous in the world of YouTube and vlogging!.. wohoooo!~ in case you're going about in your head asking, "who the hell are they??", do check out their videos below.. (^^,)

this video is from Maria Elena

she's so funny man!.. hahaha, her intro got me cracking! demm, she's good! and her tutorial aren't that hard to do either, so that's good.. did you notice that she sometimes use different accent in her English?.. it's so cute man!.. haha

this video is from Anwar Hadi

ain't he cool? he's taking TESL too, and is flying off to Sydney, Australia.. basically he's living my dream, taking TESL and studying in Aussie.. pfftt, some people get to have it all.. whoaaa, astagfirullahalazimmm! I'm thankful of where I am now, Alhamdulillah.. =)

so these are the two people that I focused with for my vlog.. again, this is my first attempt to do a vlog, I'm still new, have mercy on my soul!!.. it's not as awesome as theirs la, but it's a start, right?.. I hope you guys like them.. *cross fingers*

and yes, I know I pronounced it wrong, it's vlogging, not v-logging.. I know I know.. hey, I told you in my title of this blog post right, I'm a noob ftw, so I'm supposed to make this mistake.. wuwuwu.. and there is a serious lag in the beginning of the video, which turn my voice into a dude!.. NOT COOL MAN! haizzzz.. I curse my tiny slow nettbook, and the suck-ish camera on it.. sighhh, got to get me new laptop.. (cehhh, cakap macam duit tumbuh atas pokok)

*coughcough* so what do you think of the video?

Ice Skating anyone?

Mood : missing you

Assalamualaikum and hello gorgeous peeps!

how's your weekend so far?.. I hope it's been awesome.. my weekend wasn't that good, I'm still recovering from my horse riding injury.. don't know what I'm talking about?.. check out the previous entry please.. (^^,)

I was looking through my pictures on Facebook, when I came across a few pictures of me at Sunway Pyramid Ice Skating rink.. and it definitely brought back memories! =D I've only been to the rink 2 times, but both has their own awesome memories.. (^^,)

this was my first time at the rink, in December last year.. skating isn't that hard for me, since I've had experience in roller blading, which is quite similar to ice skating, only it's on land, and ice skating is, well, on ice.. duhhh!~ hahaha.. I went with my friend, Kerol, but coincidently met with my friend from college, Didi!.. she's quite scared, since it's her first time skating.. she clung on to me like glue.. hehehe.. so I took her around the rink a couple of times, which she fell 3 or 4 times, I forgot.. it's not that bad I think, coz falling is a part of learning, just like I fell off my horse.. hehehe.. so I didn't manage to not fall in the skating rink, coz I did an awesome superman dive from one corner to the other.. hahaha.. that's the reason why I'm wet in the picture above.. oh well, at least I only fell once, right?.. my friend fell for more than 20 times, so yeah.. (^^,)

then the 2nd time I went to the skating rink early this year, I didn't fall!! wohooooo!~~ super awesome!.. hahaha..

I went to the rink with my SIFErs, Lee Yen and Harn Wei during our company visitation program.. we weren't really wearing the proper attire, unless if you think wearing formal to the skating rink is normal la.. hehehe.. Harn Wei was wearing a formal skirt, super cute, but apparently not safe.. she fell down and scratched her knee on the ice.. some of her skin came off, which made Lee Yen feel guilty.. ya lah, she was pulling Harn Wei to the side as she was stumbling on the ice.. Lee Yen was trying to help, but end up hurting Harn Wei, thus the guilt succumbs her.. but Harn Wei is okay with it.. hey, accidents happen, right?..

as for me, I had fun going up and down on the ice.. super cool! I'm not that good, but alhamdulillah, I didn't fall.. I can move forward but I have a problem with stopping.. haha.. anyone can teach me?.. I'm planning on going to Sunway Pyramid again this semester holidays, which would probably be in June or July.. so maybe during that time?.. what say you? (^^,)

when you fall off your horse, it's called an accident

Mood : bruised

Assalamualaikum and hello awesome peeps!..

it's currently mid semester holidays here in UUM, so the roads and walkways are pretty much empty, what's left are upturned rubbish cans raided by monkeys and plastics of dried leaves.. being a person who's mostly busy all the time (eceh, mengalahkan menteri la kau), finding an escape from my daily activities just to go horse riding is super hard.. that's why when I got a call from my horse riding trainer on Thursday, I flipped!.. it is the holidays so I'm free, no classes and no current responsibilities, well, except for sleeping till 12pm.. hehehe..

so on Friday morning at 8.30am, I drove my mums car to the Equine Center in UUM.. my trainer, Abg Wan greeted me with stable chores, his way of punishing me for not coming to train for 3 months.. sorry Abg Wan!.. (^^,) so around 9am, I groomed and saddled up Prince, one of the biggest horse in the stable.. okay, I was worried at first.. 3 months without training and riding a new horse that I never rode on before, that's kind of scary.. but my trainer was quite confident with me, so I just followed..

after 15 minutes, I got on Prince and headed down to the paddock.. was I nervous?.. hell yeah!.. Prince's head is huge, and he weighs a damn lot!.. but I stayed calm.. once I got in the paddock, I started walking and trotting, getting the feel of riding a horse again.. it felt so good, and so free!! missed the feeling so so much.. (^^,)

okay fine, this is not me, but you get what I mean.. hehehe.. I wore a helmet btw, much safer..

after 30 minutes of trotting, my trainer told me to canter, horse version of running.. I had cantered before, but on other smaller horses, so I was worried.. he gave me some pointers and I was on my way, cantering.. and it felt AWESOME!! XD Prince's canter was nice and flows well with my body, I felt like flying.. I did have a bit of problem in controlling the reins, but other than that, it went well..

disaster happened when I stopped to pause for a breath.. the whip I was holding accidentally hit Prince and he started to canter.. it's not suppose to scare me, since I know how to sit and balance myself during a canter, but my feet weren't in the styrup, making me loose my balance.. I panicked like hell, the horse still cantering on, turning into a fast gallop.. I forgot everything about horse riding at that moment, forgot that all I had to do was sit up and pull the reins I had in my hands which would make the horse stop.. all I could do at that moment was pray that I don't fall off, pray that the horse would just stop.. I did the only thing I could think of to prevent myself from falling - hug Prince's neck..

I held on to Prince's neck tightly, my body moving up and down in sync with the horse's fast gallop.. I could hear in the distance, my trainer shouting something, his voice sounded alarmed.. I couldn't make out what he said, all I could hear was my heart, beating fast in my chest.. my grip on Prince's neck was starting to loosen, and I know I'd be kissing the ground soon.. the only thing I could do was pray.. "Ya Allah, please save me, don't let me fall, don't let me break any bones.."

but you know how life is, sometimes you need to fall to know the meaning of success.. or stuff.. hehehe.. so that's where I had my first fall from a horse.. I've been bitten and had my foot stepped on by horses, so it was time for me to feel my first fall from grace.. eh, I mean horse.. =P

loosing my balance on the left side, I fell somewhat like this..

my body flew on the left side of the horse, tumbling in the air and landing on my right hip in the sand, faced up towards the sky.. hey look, the sky is actually BLUE!.. I never knew.. =p Prince continued on with his canter, jumping over me (which was SUPER SCARY) and kicking my left leg at the shins.. ala, betis kiri la.. something like the picture below..

see the guys left leg?.. the back left foot of the horse as it jumped pass him must have hit him in the shins there, so I'm guessing the guys bones are probably broken.. the same thing happened to me, only my shin bone is not broken, just bent a bit.. it's still sore as hell, so is my hip, but Alhamdulillah, no broken bones.. (^^,)

once I was on the ground, I couldn't get up.. the pain in my right hip was a bit unbearable, giving me a sharp stabbing sensation.. Prince stopped cantering a few meters away, after realizing that the rider was missing.. my eyes were closed, trying to stop the pain, but I blinked a bit, trying to get the sand out of my eyes, thus catching a glimpse of my trainer walking towards me.. I pulled myself together, hoping that the pain will go away.. a few seconds later, my trainer was calling to me, so I looked up to find my trainer with Prince in his hands.. he asked if I was alright and if I could walk..

so I stood up, trying to balance myself.. okay, I'm fine, I can stand, nothing broken.. my trainer said I didn't look pale, which is a good sign, and asked if I could ride again, which I answered yes.. well, that was before I tried to walk.. my balance was off and I almost fell.. I got dizzy and saw the trees and sand and everything in very bright colours.. woahh, Prince's butt is HOT!!.. hahaha.. my trainer instructed me to go sit near the railing while he demonstrated the correct way to sit during a canter.. he explained why I fell, which was because my body was lunged forward signaling to the horse to go faster.. if I sat straight, the horse would have gone slower and eventually stopped.. he assured me that my fall wasn't bad, it wasn't like the horse was trying to throw me off, it was because I lost my balance.. whatever the cause was, I'm still thankful that I didn't suffer any serious injuries or broken bones.. Alhamdulillah.. (^^,)

my trainer in front riding Prince, the horse I fell off from.. he's HUGE man..

currently I'm resting and nursing my injuries.. my right hip has gotten worse tho, I can't sneeze or laugh without feeling pain.. I hope this goes away soon, it's super hard for me to make jokes if I can't laugh right.. and my left shin is getting better, but it's still sore.. and there's a dent in my shin bone, it's no longer straight, which is kinda cool when you run you fingers through them, you can feel the curve.. hahaha.. I mean, think about it.. how many people with bent shins from a horse kicking it do you know?.. so I fall in the AWESOMELY COOL category.. hahaha.. ehem, but don't go getting weird ideas and getting yourself a dent too okay?..

last but not least, I would like to thank my family - my mum and my sisters - who have been helping me to get better.. thanks for getting stuff for me, and also refilling my ice bag, you guys rock! =D and thanks to those who cared on Facebook and calling and messaging me on the phone, you guys are awesome too!.. (^^,) no worries, I'll get my leg and hip x-rayed on Monday, just to make sure everything is okay, kay?..

I assure all of you, this is NOT the end of my horse riding days.. I will continue once my injuries are healed, so worry you not.. hahaha.. besides, I'm no quitter.. later awesome peeps!! (^^,)
