THE REAL CurhatSue

Salaam..

     On 19th October during iftar I received a message from a fellow classmate, Wan requesting me to send him to Jalan Duta the next day for him to return to his hometown Sungkai, Perak for Eid. He told that he doesn’t know how to go there and he has no other means to go. I’m not really close to him.. but he’s a nice fella whom always smile to me whenever we bump into each other. I said OK no prob I would really love to help him.

     Since I wanted to meet Nadea to return the leaking Michael Kors perfume at One Utama the next day.. I asked him to wait for me after Asar at his mahallah’s bus stop. Ummi, Nana n I were planning to have iftar there since I’m going to meet Nadea after 7pm. Wan’s bus is on 630pm. I invited Sumi to join us. At first I could detect that there was a hint of jealousy when I told him I’ll be sending a guy friend to Jalan Duta. When I said.. Wan is the soft kind ( Ok Wan is like that.. I hope he’ll change one day insya Allah but he’s not the kind who’s proud that he’s like that eg. walking and talking loudly in a MASSIVE group of the same kind, so I’m ok with him.. he’s a nice guy.. hope he’ll change) Sumi let out a huge sigh of relief :p He agreed to join as long as he wouldn’t seat next to Wan. Whatever lah Sumi.

     One amusing thing when I fetched both of them.. Sumi refused to join if he had to seat next to Wan. I hope Wan didn’t hear it.. Ok it’s not like he’s not used to this.. but i didn’t want to offend that guy. So Ummi needed to sitt in between of them :/ In the car i chatted with Wan while driving.. it’s true that he always hang out with Nadia JB (another classmate of mine).. it’s like his bestfriend in UIA.. i like her too. He told me that he watched Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna with her.

    Mental note: Invite the 2 of them for movies in the future. Since they like selective Bollywood movies too.. better

    The traffic was congested terribly. We almost reached Jalan Duta at 620pm.. but the traffic was heavy we were stuck at the back. So it was yet so near yet so far. I knew that Wan was not confident anymore. And he couldn’t really run there coz it was raining and it’s still quite far for him to run with his bags. I asked him the name of his bus. It’s Edaran.

    When we almost reach the corner to the bus station.. we saw the bus moving out from the station. Wan screamed in alarm "Sue that’s my bus!!" I asked him to run and catch that bus.. we could if the bus would be stuck in the traffic too. Before that we had to catch up with the bus first coz it was moving quite smoothly.. when the bus stopped in the traffic.. Wan jumped out of the car and ran chasing after it.

    Sumi said he was gliding. Shut up Sumi.

    I panicked too.. when he managed to stop the bus.. the conductor refused to accept him. I remember how panicked Wan’s face was at that time. We all screamed from inside the car "Tunjuk tiket!!" and he took out his wallet. Alhamdulillah the conductor accepted him. He took his bags and smiling happily he said bye to us before departing in the middle of the road. All of us felt good that he managed to return home for Eid.

   Or else I would send him myself to Sungkai. Seriously.

Salaam..

     Ok besides Children, Cooking and a few more other things I can’t remember now.. one of my BIGGEST adiction/ weakness is PERFUMES.I could never say NO to any perfume which I love.. or want. Sounds greedy eh?? :p In fact my ENTIRE family is crazy about perfumes.. even Ayah would complain if he couldn’t smell perfume on me.

     I still remember my first perfume was an Aidilfitri gift from Ummi when I was 11. It was Romance by Ralph Lauren.Believe it or not.. receiving a perfume made me feel like an adult.. and I was even scared of it I didn’t open the bottle until a few months later. Trust me when I was a kid.. I hated perfumes.. powder or any element which is meant to make a lady beautiful or even ladylike.

    Now I LOVE THEM. But basically I’m very selective with my perfumes.. I don’t just go to the counters and buy any latest one. I don’t wanna be scented like the next girl standing to me literally.

    I select the ones which suit me.

    My choice : Floral scents.

    Ok but don’t really prefer : Citruisy scents. Think of Clinique’s Happy.

    Hate : Sweet candy scents. Think of Britney Spears, Lollita Lempicka, Issey Miyake. I’m quite Ok when i smell it on others but please not on me or even in my room… n my sis has that Vanilla Cupcake smelling of Britney Spears.. I feel like walking into a bakery’s oven.

   My MOST favourite is definitely Jadore by Christian Dior. Just finished my 2nd bottle. I really think that the EDT smells better than the EDP.. coz it’s not that strong. However I know that many people love it when i use Red Jeans by Versace. Still i love Jadore the most. The 1st one was given as a birthday gift from Ummi.. i can’t remember which year.

   Recently my friend Nadea text me saying that she’s helping a friend selling original perfumes with a REALLY REALLY low price.

   RM150 per 100ml.

   Any brand.

   Interested? You’d be insane if I’m not.

   I asked her for assurance of the originality. I don’t mind wearing cheap perfumes if I’m so in love with em. I bought dozens of RM5 perfumes in those tiny bottles in Mekah n Madinah coz they are SO GOOD. However I don’t like to pretend wearing the high brands. It’s either cheap or expensive but must be original. I usually wait to buy for a brand until it’s not not the talk of the town anymore.. until the price becomes really reasonable for me. I don’t buy to show off to people.. I wear it coz I really like em and it makes me feel good putting them on.

     Since Nadea guaranteed me that the guy got it real cheap since he’s working at Metrojaya counters.. i believe her coz I know that she won’t con me. I ordered Michael Kors ( been determined to get this perfume since the 1st time Ummi gave me a sniff of hers) and another one which I have been wanted for so long ( I would only buy a new one if the current perfume I’m using is almost finished).. which is Be Delicious by DKNY (the 1st edition.. the green one).

    On 19th October.. I met her at Mid Valley because she told me that I could get Michael Kors before raya. And yes she gave me the original perfume.. complete with the original packaging and MJ’s price sticker on the back. IT IS ORIGINAL how i was delighted. Unfortunately.. she didn’t put the perfume upright.. some of it spilt.. the bottle leaked somehow.. and due to that some of the diamantes on the bottle became worn off. Boo~hoo!!!

     Alhamdulillah she managed to replace it for me. I was not angry AT ALL at her cause she’d been so wonderful to inform me bout this great offer and she’s been so informative i like that. I even felt bad cause she felt TOO BAD for her mistake. So it’s OK if i’m gonna get both after raya.. doesn’t matter.. i’m just on cloud nine enough to know that i’ll be the owner of those 2 babies with a really great deal…Hik! (drunk in perfume)

Salaam..

    After a few numbers of postponement with Nik to have Iftar together.. finally today 18th October 2006.. I made my word with her. She really wanted to try Suzi’s Place. I invited Fardoussa n Tifah as well.. n they said yes. So i fetched them at their mahallahs (colleges).

   Nik is my sweet classmate since the Matric.. but since she’s always so smart (Dean’s List EVERY sem) so i felt inferior to be close to her. However since she came to one of the Maybelline Guest Sessions with me.. I could feel that she’s trying to be close to me. I mean as real friends.. not as classmates only. Me.. of course I would be more than honoured to be close to her cause she’s such a nice person. N alhamdulillah.. we were surprised to discover that he have so much things in common as in the things that we like.

    Tifah is that my new friend from Chad like I mentioned before.. and before this in class she talked to me yeah.. but most of the time I saw her as one of those people who could get irritated easily by almost everything.. u know the kind that would bite you if you say anything wrong. But after that long chat with her.. she’s the kind of a person who sees the world in the same view as mine.. that’s for a start.

   And Fardoussa.. she’s from Somalia.. real nice gal. Kind of quiet but I like her. So this iftar session is kind of getting to know each other better.

   At Suzi’s we ordered the Western food.. and we enjoyed it very much. I never failed to enjoy anything at Suzi’s.

   As for the conversations.. it was nice and cool. One amazing thing was that Tifah and I discovered that we were born on the exact same date of the same year! I mean it’s REALLY difficult to find someone with the same birthdate as mine and she agreed with it. When I asked Tifah how was the Americans’ way of treatment towards the Muslims when she lived in Texas.. which i read that the population was the main supporters for Bush.. u know.. Orthodox Americans i shall call it. She said before the 11th September attacks.. everything was simply beautiful. The Christians likes Muslims and respcted them.. she said that there was even a praying room for Muslims in the library of her school. But after the attacks.. things changed. They started to fear and have misconceptions of Islaam. Well this should be seen from different angles. The attackers.. I believe that they have kept their grief for so long they couldn’t take it any longer (think Palestine..Lebanon..Iraq and even Kashmir). However the consequence could be like this too.. where no more mutual understanding from a society which used to live together harmoniously despite differences of beliefs. Whatever it is.. there is a Hikmah to everything. It’s actually meant for the US government.. they are the real parasites.

                                  ————————————–

    Yeah.. so the iftar was a nice one n i sent them back to UIA n we hope to hang out more in the future insya Allah. After that I went to Auntie Ana’s house.. where i ate more of her Briyani which I helped to cook earlier that day with Ummi.. while singing to Sanisah Huri loudly with Auntie Ana (Auntie Ana listens to no other station except Klasik Nasional FM :P) Ya Allah Suraya… diet konon Ramadhan :p Can’t help it.. Auntie Ana’s moving to France soon.. for good insya Allah to live with her daughter’s family there.. well I’m gonna miss her big time.. I even cried once thinking that I am going to miss he so so much once she leaves. But who knows.. she kept quiet from us for a long time when she moved away.. but from nowhere she existed back in our lives and made us real happy by her company.. and who knows in the future.. the bond will always exist insya Allah…

Life is surprising.

Don’t question too much.

Salaam..

    Today on 17th October 2006, on Tuesday is meant for our Islamic Knowledge and Civilizartion (IKC) class with my favourite lecturer this semester, Dr. Hikmatullah Baba (it’s a tie between him and Dr. Baharuddin). All the 10 groups are supposed to present their assigned countries.. and my group.. it’s Tunisia.

    So.. our group (Latifah, Amina, Sulafa’ and Asma’) planned to wear red and white attire tomorrow to represent the colours of the Tunisian flag. However except Latifah and me, they don’t really have something red and white so they’ll opt with maroon they guessed. No problem. The thing is.. Latifah and I are the most pshyced ones bout this clothing thing since this is one of our favourite departments! Oh i sound so Chic-Lit

     Today.. on the presentation day.. I wore a deep red abaya with white hijab.. and a matching deep red hijab pinned on top of the white and let it hung loose. Oohh i love how i looked that day :p And Latifah… i told you how she looks hot in bright colous.. and man.. when i saw her wearing a white skirt and bright red buttoned top with white hijab.. she just looked smashing. So it’s obvious that we were the most excited ones for the presentation. Nad, Mun and Nik even took photos with me as though i was the star of the day. Well they succeed in making me feel so perasan :p

    Ok each group was given 5 topics to explain about their assigned country in the written assignment.. n Dr. Hikmah is so eccentric in its way of teaching.. we felt like we were doing Project Runway instead to make things short :p

    The disappointing thing was… Dr. Hikmah was nowhere to be seen! Munibah was delighted coz she hoped that presentations would be cancelled.. but Latifah and I were agitated coz we worked so hard for this assignment and we are probably the 2 abnormal people perhaps according to most people who are crazy in doing presentations (remember Donald Trump?).

     Class starts at 10.. but it’s about 1030 am and he’s still nowhere. My group would not allow this to happen! So Hashimah (a girl from another group) n I went to his office n spoke to the secretary. She told that he has a surgery to undergo. Uh-oh…

     Then Hashimah called him n he said he’s coming. Later when we went back to the library auditorium.. she told me that he’s actually struggling with a kidney complication. Double uh-oh.. Hashimah knows this coz she’s closer to Dr.. she’s like one of his good students i guess. That was why there were these few times he would not come to class withot any notice that we would be so annoyed for coming.

      Man.. i felt awful.. n worried at the same time. He’s receiving frequent medication which means he’s condition is serious. No one would even had a hint.. coz he’s always so jovial… eccentric n energetic. n he’s always mocking students around when they came up with lousy presentations.. he’s damn funny in an eccentric way (i mean he either makes u laugh damn hard or annoys u big time) but actually he’s struggling with a disease..

    However as he promised.. he hopped in into the audi and still in his usual not caring manner he told us he had to take a jab for his medication and would undergo for a surgery at 2pm. More like informing us that we would receive our exam results late. We expressed our concern but he said he’s fine and presentations would be resumed.

   So our group was the first group to present. We had absolutely no idea how group presentations are going to be conducted with him.. i memorized the historical dates of Tunisia while Latifah memorized the geographical coordinates of Tunisia just in case. But to our surprise.. he asked the 2 groups representing the same country to come forward.. and he chose 2 students at a time (1 from each group) to compete like a game show!! IT WAS DAMN HILLARIOUS!! We were all acting like lunatics trying to get the answers.. Sulafa’ was even sitting on the floor trying to guide Asma’ in answering (Dr. intentionally chose the quietest in the lot) and Tifah coolly answered the geography questions.. as for me.. and Nik from the other group were chosen by him to answer the 1 minute public speaking section since we are considered as the ones who talk the most (!?) As for the rest of the groups waiting for their turns.. they too laughed hardly watching us being whackos. When it was their turn.. we joined the fun too. I have 2 words to desribe the presentation. FUN. CREATIVE. TERRIBLY UTTERLY HILLARIOUS. Ok make that 5.

    At the end.. I pointed out to Dr. that we were wearing the colours of the flag to show our high spirits for Tunisia.. so "any extra mark sir??"

    He replied.. "I couldn’t see any moon or stars." Ok.. Thank you sir! :/

                             ——————————————- 

  And probably I only mention it here.. I pray that your surgery was a success.. and see you next sem for Ethics insya Allah.. I’m really grateful to be destined to be your student.

    Salaam.. On the evening of Monday 16th Oct., i had a meeting with my group for IKC’s assignment. After that, i hung out with one of the members, my new friend Latifah. She’s a Finance student from Chad. She has the blackest black skin which is gorgeous for me especially when she wears anything bright.. she looks wow. She used to live in Texas for 5 years so it’s a no wonder she has this distinguished American accent.. however she’s patriotic still.. she always has this beady bracelets in the colours of red, yellow and blue which are the colours of her national flag.

     As for Ahmed, he’s a Syrian who had lived for 18 years in Malaysia. Well he came to Econs cafe to meet Latifah to discuss about their assginment or something but later all of us chatted and we got into this deep conversation about gays and people who are proud of their sins.. i like to be with this kind of people.. they look just like any ordinary teenagers.. they love the entertainment that other kids like.. and of course they love fashion .. they don’t look like an Osama b. Laden look-alike… still for them.. religion is something which is to be taken seriously.

     At first we talked about reality shows on TV.. how we watched them but at times we don’t like em coz they always exploit people’s pride for the sake of business. And Latifah n I discovered that we both REALLY like Donald Trump. He’s fast.. sharp and at the same time does not underestimate people simply by their qualifications.. well we simply adore him.

    But later I asked Ahmed about the ’soft guys’ in UIA..n he straight away said ‘yup the faggots’ and i said yeah n how it’s a sad amazement to see that we could only see Asian guys who are like that kind.

(to be continued)

Salaam.. Today after Family Law test.. I had to go to Shah Alam to meet Mie, the fashion design student from UiTM Shah Alam whom I had collaborated for my Maybelline’s Fantasy Makeup task. She sponsored me the costumes while I did the makeup for the photo shoot… it was a new, exhausting but fantastic experience for me but in this post.. I would like to focus on Shah Alam (NO OFFENSE AT ALL for those who live in Shah Alam) Ok people..this might sound weird.. but to tell u the truth.. i despise Shah Alam. Not in a benci benci way.. but benci in a weird way.. n no one really understands this statement of mine.. except for my bestfriend cum partner in crime who feels the same way like me. The intensity of our hatred to Shah Alam is just inhumane.. we have our own reasons which I would list down next.. whether they are valid or acceptable for you.. I don’t care.

The reasons for me despising Shah Alam:

· This town is SO well-planned!

Just imagine to direct your friends to come to ur house by explaining “yeah after this particular roundabout you will find the mosque.. and next to the mosque is the museum right in front of the park n lake.. and nearby is a university..” and the list goes on!! For me it’s like a map from buku Kajian Tempatan which sounds a little bit too perfect. Get it? Get it? I won’t get offended if you don’t.

· It’s like a storybook land

Ok so in the centre is the glorious beautiful blue mosque… and nearby is the palace.. what else.. and in the middle of the place.. is the square which has the so-called Greek architecture which I don’t get.. opposite of clock which has the middle-eastern design.. it’s all like a big mixed-up to me.. I’m sorry but I don’t like it..

· Yay! There’s another roundabout!

Are these roundabouts meant to indicate that Shah Alam is super massive?? Hmmm..

Where’s the cinema??

Ok perhaps Shah Alam intends in being the religious city in Selangor by not providing entertainment spots like the ones in KL… just imagine they don’t even have a cinema theatre (please correct me if there is one) so probably the people in Shah Alam they’ll spend time for leisure strolling at the parks.. especially for the youngsters. I just think.. when entertainment is being too limited.. I mean if we intend to watch a movie at the movies.. then we would really watch a movie right instead of doing something else right? But when entertainment is being too limited.. people would opt other things in entertaining them.. especially for young couples.. when they spend time at the parks too much.. I don’t wanna go there.. but just think of Melayu boleh… uhumm..

It’s a wholly Malay place

Ok I’m a proud Malaysian so for me all the races and ethnics of The people are complacent and laid-back.. too laid-back Ok no offense.. I’m just being honest based on my experience.. I went to the PKNS complex many times to accompany my mother shopping for new hijabs. The attitude of the MAJORITY of the salespersons.. well.. sometimes they are arrogant with the customers.. that’s not the right attitude.. the customers are the bosses.. not the salesperson don’t you think?? Shah Alam portrays an Islamic image.. but whenever they communicate with the customers.. sometimes they react really slow.. not smiling.. and sometimes it’s vivid on their expressions that as if they are not interested in attending the customers. These are the kind of people whom I can’t stand working with.. and in this case I would feel the least interested in giving business to them. This is what I mean when we are among ourselves.. among our race only. If there’s some other races which work faster.. and behaves competitively in business.. that would give us a jolt to be competitive as well. When you are working with mediocre people.. that’s what we could see.. the PKNS complex which I have been visited for the past years is still the same PKNS complex that I know. I want my race to improve.. not by the volume of gold bangles around their wrists.. but improving in their businesses for example.. a newer concept.. a more attractive appearance.. time changes.. sometimes in certain things we should too.

Ok I think I’ve said enough.. Although Sumi liked Shah Alam when he visited it with me for the first time yesterday when he accompanied me to meet Mie.. cause he said it’s more beautiful than KL.. I still wouldn’t be interested to have Shah Alam as my address. Hehe perhaps I am meant to live in Ampang.. one of my favourite places on earth.. it’s hectic.. but it’s fast- moving and people here are competitive I like that.. Yeah they do have serious crimes here.. but that’s what I call life. Life can’t be too perfect. What’s best Ampang has all skin-tones here.. just go to Suzi’s Place.. look at the Chinese lady selling the western food.. talking to the Indian guy who’s selling the Tandoori.. and at the entrance there are the Malay guys selling the Satay and Chinese porridge.. I love it this way.. it’s so Malaysian J ps* the above is my personal opinion on what I like.. I’m sorry if any of you feel offended.. any place has its pros and cons.. but I’m just expressing what I like and don’t like here from me personal liking. Wassalam Malaysia should be living in one community and not like one specific race only.. I like the feeling of having a Chinese and Indian neighbours.. classmates and not only confined among your own only. Diversity for me creates solidarity and increases creativity.. we could learn from one another from the differences that we have.. and when you apply the positive ones… combine the good sparks.. there would exist a better society I believe.. which is the Malaysian society

Salaam n Hi..

    Hmm.. things which need to be done is to email the softcopy of my IKC assignment to Sulafa’..and to study for my Family Law test at 9 tomorrow morning. This Ramadhan.. i don’t know.. things are happening for me.. with the Maybelline finals are coming.. and events here n there.. but i don’t really feel happy.

    I’m upset with ayah for what he had done earlier this Ramadhan.. though he said sorry he wouldn’t believe how hurt i was n still hurt due to his actions. N my sweet younger bro sent me a msg saying sorry n how he missed of how we were when we were kids.. but i’m still hurt. N i’m still not talking to my bestfriend.. he’s furious at me.. n i miss him.. but i just don’t know how to start. The world just can’t believe how on earth it was destined for us to be bestfriends when we fight all the time.. but we’re still bestfriends.. more like siblings.. no matter how angry we are at one another and no matter how strong the urge for us to kill one another coz we are so mad.. still other people for no benefit for them at all would try their best to patch things up for us. Nway xaph.. i miss u bro.. n i’m sorry.. i know that i’m a jerk.. but i have issues with myself n sometimes i can’t even manage myself.. n to go up to ur expectations sometimes seems so difficult for me.. coz ur a perfectionist.. and i’m a mess..but i’m truly sorry…

     N today.. Ayah will be bringing us for Iftar (fast breaking) at Tropicana Club insya Allah.. to make nana n I closer to our brothers.. however i’ll just go to show my obedience.. but not sincerely.. coz deep down i’m still hurt on how ayah treats us daughters.. i’m still hurt..i’m still hurt. i’m a forgiver.. but i never forget.

     I think i should go now.. rather than thinking bout these painful things.. i’ll have a test tomorrow.. n i dun wanna disappoint ummi. wassalam

Salaam n Hi people..
