First Post

Yay, so it's my first post on this new blog of mine. I'm still new at this so i'm quite useless, i dont even know how to upload a picture for my profile...i read about it, but i find it confusing perhaps when i'm free i'll fiddle with it more.

The reason i decided to abandon my old blog was because:
a) not many ppl log onto friendster anymore
and
b) i have this secret ambition of making my blog available to a wider audience (well now the ambition is not so secret!)

Anyways where do i begin? summer was brilliant! so many things happened and i dont think i can illustrate all the excitement and joy that i experienced. from aquaria to taji to toni, haih all d attainables huh? but summer is over, i guess all good things must come to an end. and now i am back in england where its freezing and pretty grim...

So I shall tell my story from the beginning, the moment the Boeing 747 took off from KLIA's runaway and made its long 12 hours 20 mins flight to London Heathrow. My feelings at the time, well, i felt sad for leaving home no doubt n i was really reluctant to come back to face my studies more than anything...but i wouldnt classify myself as feeling depressed i'd just felt weird. ambivalent i guess...

i sat in the row where there are 4 passenger seats, i sat in between this really nice maly girl who was gonna study in the UK for the first time and next to this matsalleh dude with his friend, kinda old-ish. i spoke a lot with the first year girl, she was going to bristol to study. the brit dude on my right however didnt speak at all to me (except when he wanted to borrow a pen, more on that later). you should have seen the look of horrification when i sat next to him! he immediately turned towards his friend n whispered something, i think they both were disappointed they werent sitting in a row with hot scantily dressed girls hahahahahaha throughout the flight he kept on asking for red wine (which i was so happy by his 6th glass they had run out of it! i didnt want a drunkard beside me!) and he was listening to really loud music n was moving his head along with the beats. and its not even usual music, it's like club hits, so yea it was pretty loud and annoying. i counterattacked it by putting on my movie really loudly. i watched pirates 3 a few sitcoms n dis show called inside grand prix dat featured newcomer of the year Lewis sayangku Hamilton! when we were finally about to land as i was writing my fone number for d girl beside me (she asked for it ok, i wasnt full of myself being all arrogant like a final yr who knows everything), d dude next to me asks to borrow my pen. he wrote down d name of d album he was listening to on his hand telling his friend hed so go and buy it tomorrow... funny character man...

a lot of my friends and fellow warwickians were on the flight and so we all went together on the coach back to coventry and chipped in for d taxi back to uni. we had to go take the keys from cryfield (d same exact one where i spent my easter hols at during 1st yr) from the wardens. met my warden for my flat (a lady) and d other warden some spanish dude was kinda cute but erm slightly gay-ish...im in hurst flat 37, room E...d flat is on d top floor and as i came in and saw d toilet i was mortified. even d room is tiny but its ok not so bad, d wardrobe could be improved...my clothes occupy all d drawers (6 of them in total) coz they cant all fit in d cupboard. now i appreciate my house even more!

now my toilet, my God is horrendous! we hafta share amongst 6 of us (thank God all my flatmates are my frens), the shower room isnt so bad, but the toilet is!!!! its just a tiny claustrophobic room wid a small window. you have to manouvere urself on d seat so as to not knock d door wid ur knees, there isnt a sink so we hafta put in a bucket filled wid water. they miscalculated d measurements for the door because theres a hole in it. the hole cuts through the toilet seat. we can't close the hole because without it we cant open the door, so technically if u bend down n wanna peep into d toilet u actually can!

other than that, hurst isnt soooo awful...d kitchen's alright, except when 6 of u wanna sit in there coz d table makes it smaller. but if everyone was standing up its ok...not all too bad...and d room takes time getting use to, at least we all have individual sinks so dont hafta hog d toilet if u just wanna brush ur teeth...

moving on from the horrors of this year's accomodation, warwick has plenty of first years. as a matter of fact there are so many of them i havent met all the familiar faces of my year. ive met my coursemates because on monday we had a briefing lecture, basically a welcome back introductory lecture telling us d change in d departmental regulations. we had it wid d second years too, and my God there were so many cute guys. dammit, my year was like a majority girls but the year below me, lucky peeps man! there was dis 2 particularly hot guys dat i liked hehehehe but of course my yr, si jamie looked sooo good...d summer did him good, he looks refreshed and just adorable. i nearly died when he came into the room! and he holds d position of some reinvention centre helper thingie, so now i'm gonna fake a problem and ask him questions hahahahahahaha

i also saw mata biru at tarawih...yup d free iftars are back...n on sunday night d day i arrived i went for d iftar at d prayer hall and there was dis really good dhal. one of the brothers made it but nobody knows which one. it was soooooooooooooo good, seriously i could fall in love wid d cook! d tarawih is super long, because they plan to finish a juz a nite in 8 rakaats! they're succeeding but at the expense of putting me to sleep. the imam has a beautiful voice, mashAllah. it's one of those voices that lulls you to sleep. really soothing, i think hes old though coz last nite i saw a group of them walking out, they look pretty old hehehehehehe

so anyways back to mata biru. d dude looks soooooo much thinner now than ever b4! he looks underfed and malnourished! here i was thinking that hes graduated but either hes doing his Phd or hes staying till he grads i dunno...anyways i saw him last night during isha prayers when my friend was drawing the curtains and i was taking of my glasses. but i saw him full on when i was walking back to my hall. he was coming the other way, we made eye contact (!) but then he immediately broke it and turned to his fren and started speaking without ever looking straight once. im thinking, "huh? wats dat all about?", maybe he remembered me as the freaky staring girl hahahahahahahaha he spoke in half arabic n english, his arabic had like a british accent sounded funny n incomprehensible!

today, i had class at 10a.m, my first class of the term was sociology of health and illness. the lecturer seems ok, he looks like he knows what hes talking about (well hes been lecturing for 15 yrs here!)..from the way he dresses he seems u noe manly but when he talks and moves about he seems kinda gay-ish LoL the class was alright, seems pretty straight forward, it's also a second year module so im assuming, hoping beyond hope dat it's easy LoL

and guess wat, one of d hot guys i like from second year is in d class!!! too bad hes not in my seminar... i was trying to take his picture but it would be soooo obvious coz my lecture rooms teeny! so nx week im gonna make nadiah b (coz her camera doesnt make a sound) try n take a pic. owh n hes smart too, so there u go, complete package! he actually spoke during d lecture, now who d bloody hell speaks in a lecture, especially a 10a.m lecture?! unfortunately he too when he talks n smiles seems gay-ish. d thing is wid sociology no matter how many guys there are, most of them are gays...owh n jamie's in my class (hes not in my seminar tho, such a pity!)...i didnt notice him till nadiah nudged me when he entered n i just started grinning like an idiot!!!! i met him again at d dept where he caught me off guard by d noticboard standing next to me about to take down something. he is sooooo cute dis term u dont noe how cute!!! i wonder if he hooked up wid dat girl dat he claimed he was gonna get piss drunk n declare his undying love to last year...maybe he did dats y he looks sooo cute...darn it, where are all d attainables?!

after class i went to d students union and there a sports federation fair today, where all the sports societies haf stalls in the union and haf performances outside at the piazza for ppl to get interested and join. i wanted to join the warwick gliding club until nadiah freaked me out about it! n then i wanted to join warwick motorsport (its a karting club), u noe get closer to hamilton, but then i was thinking the kart will be manual rite, i probably cant drive it hahahahaha i wanna join the fencing club tho, it seems fun. d testing session is next week, tak sabar nk pegi. syaz suggested d rifle club to which i responded that if i joined it, it will just confirm d stereotype of muslims being violent...so no thank u... theres also a pick and mix sports club where u can just join and attend whichever one that ur interested in. theyre having lacrosse which sounds fun and looks fun...perhaps i'll join. i really wanna join fencing tho but nobody wants to join with me huhuhuhuhu as usual i dont like to do things alone. there was dis girl who wanted me to join d jujitsu club, it looks fun d downside is d sensei is a guy and i dont want some guy to be touching me showing me how to do martial arts. there was a demo from the cheerleading society and one of the guys on it i rmmbered him as this dude who spoke to me last year. he was a first year accounting and finance student last yr so now he must be in his second year...n my god he looked sooo hot tadi in d uniform...coz hes tall n well built (not too muscular, just nice). i rmmbered how happy i was after he spoke to me coz its not everyday cute guys talk to me ok hehehehehe we met in ramphal by chance while waiting for d lift n he asked me how it was like being in warwick n whether i enjoyed myself...soooo cute lah d guy...im pretty sure hes my age tho, i think he mentioned he took a gap year...

2moro is the societies fair (i think) and i am definitely going! theres where u can check out hot guys LoL im thinking of joining a certain central asian society, if there is one hahahahahahahaha oooh n i'll be hanging about the jewish society booth LoL dats where d cute dudes are at too, i rmmbered my first year n d president was soooo goodlooking...but second year d president was such a disappointment...d linguistics officer however was pretty hot hehehehehehehe yes dats wat i do in uni check out guys...

ohhhh d library is crap dis year!!! they planned to re-vamped d whole place make it all look futuristic and it was supposed to be done in time for the first day but it isnt!!! it's horrendous, floor 1&2 are still under construction and because of that we have to enter the library from the side and its sooooo depressing looking. the lifts dont work so yes to get to my floor we have to climb 5 levels of stairs!!!! the signboards are made out of paper, so much for looking futuristic! they had to place all the self-checkout counters on each floor n they made level 3 their new reception with photocopying machines and the helpdesk there. they claim that it will be done by mid-october but to be honest it doesnt look like it'll be done anytime soon!!!

it's only 3.04p.m now...my seminar is next week coz health n illness haf fortnightly seminars...so yea...im pretty free dis year...i guess they really want me to think about my dissertation. i already got an email from my supervisor asking for a meeting...i should go and purchase a diary soon, 2moro lah... im too lazy to walk...my hurst flat is quite far, we haf to go up and down a hill too huhuhuhuhuhuhu really teaching me to be fit!!! i think i'll go to sleep after asr which is an hour frm now, and wake up later, iftar's at 6.43...yea i think i'll sleep...dis whole flat's heater's not working so u can imagine how cold it is...thank god i haf an electric heater, my room feels like a sauna in comparison to the corridor, kitchen n toilet :) btw, d pic is d view from my window on a cold semi-sunny autumn day...(d time and date of dis post is incorrect, its actually tuesday 2nd oct, 3.24p.m...i dunno wats wrong wid it hmm)
