Bunga Api
Today i am in my melancholic mood. Yes, the mood when i believe life sucks and prozac would be the key to solve all my problems. Trying my best to control these unwanted thoughts, i decided to follow all the rest of the Wellingtonians to maen bunge api. Yes, bunga api! Not cikai cikai ones mind you....We are indeed talking about those huge, chunky and multicoloured ones. Thanks to encik NJB la kan for buying the whole trunk. ( i dont know how much they cost). It was fun; laughing, shouting and simply watching the bunge api (s) . Having said this, those who are close to me must remember how much i enjoy watching bunge api. My jaws will go drop open and my eyes wont blink everytime i see the bunga api shows. Regardless whether i am next to a Kiwi hunk during guy fawkes, mat rempit Melaka near MITC, or the Indonesians near KLCC for Merdeka or New Year. Bunga api shows never failed to make me happy. Almost all of my exes know this. Hence, when i was mad at them for being late they will drive me to KL area Bukit Bintang to stop me from nagging or babbling. Chiem used to do 3 rounds. Vijay had to do 5 rounds (motor extra effort la kan). in fact, they find this habit of mind rather amusing. Hence point of this entry would be: Senang dapat awek cam aku ni, just rent an appartamento next to Bukit Bintang, i wont nag...ever..

A tribute to My 9802 friends
I dreamt about my friends last night. I woke up smiling. In fact, I noticed that when I'm dead tired i will usually dream about the same thing; me having fun with all the chicas in school. Nothing fancy, just the normal going to school routines, we shall dress up since it is friday nite(although we are stuck inside school) sessions and also the let's -curi -food from dining hall since kite- memang ade share- pon kan ? activities. Since I miss you guys so much, probably i should tell the rest of the world, what you guys were like in school? (balas dendam mode, peeople). These are some of the people that have shed tears and laughed joyously with me everyday since i was a petite AA till now a generous **(metaphorically speaking). We shared a lot, despite our differences. Im trying my best to include everyone, but im just human kan? and the list is not according to preference, I had to start with someone anyways kan? Here goes:

One hell of a driver (tangki minyak pon boleh ni )
3. Cher
Our miss sassy and miss stylo.
Petite and beautiful, never underestimate her. Capable of derma darah despite being underweight. very underweight to be honest.
Her heart is even more beautiful

Opah I speaking London, you know..
Selamat Hari Raye!!! Still in my Hari Raya Mode, it striked me to blog about an incident during this year's Hari Raye. Celebrating my second hari raye in Wellington, i had to call all my relatives. I called my mom who was in Tapah at the moment. Pretty clear, this year my mom won the battle. Anyways, after all the "selamat hari raye. mintak maaf sume salah silap", annual speech, i had to talk to the rest of my aunties and uncles. Suprisingly, all spoke in English and they were trying very hard to do so. I was stunned and replied back to them in Malay to prove my point : i can still converse in BM. Next waiting was my 76 years old grandmother.
Opah: Nisya, selamat hari raye. Maaf zaher batin.
Nisya: Selamat hari raye opah. Opah, sehat?
Opah: Goooddddddddd! You come Tapah? (ami, btol tak ape opah cakap, talking back to my little brother) (shouting from behind, ami said "btol" "btol"
Nisya: *Speechless* Managed to say "soon" after a twenty seconds pause.
Opah: Gooodddddddd!!!!!!!! I love you..Come Tapah!
Nisya: *Teary eyes*
I shed my tears for two things; One is because of my grandmother's effort to talk to me in English which proves how much she loves me. Second, Ami's English is so rotten that he will need some intensive English grammar course with his kakak when she gets back to Malaysia!! Talking about cari pasal, kan Ami?

How?
A few weeks back, i called one of my very own stf9802 sister. We talked and as usual we will tracked back all the old memories (despite the repetitions we still find this routine very interesting). She kutuked (i know i am an English teacher going to be) me on my grandmother's bag which i wore in form one (the bag is indeed my tok mak's) and we talked about how we actually stole a penunu bunsen from chemistry lab just for the sake of having better heated marshmallows. Then offguardedly, i was given a killer question "Ko dulu score 6/10 on the depression continuum test, ko OK ke skang, syerque?". Kudos for her for remembering and yes, hell yeah i was taken aback with such unexpected question. I answered "aku ok, it's just an one off thingie, hormon terlebih". She then said, " You went through a lot and all of us are so damn proud of you. What is the secret aaa?" . I smiled to myself proudly and knew despite all the adversities, i actually made it. So, what is my secret ?
1. Your parents', friends' and boyfriends' problems are not your problems. Always remember this so that you won't blame any when you are faced with problems.
2. TAAT kepade ibu bape. . (No options here). Simple kan? Jangan kasi options like, "parents i tak educated sgt, derang tak paham bende bende ni, susah la i nak ikot cakap derang", "alah, parents i pon buat juge time derang mude mude dulu".
3. A lesson well learnt from abah which is related to number 2: Bakti kat parents sementare derang masih hidup lagi, kalo dah tade, nanges kat kubur tiap tiap hari pon tak gune. So yeah, always show your love while you can: to your parents, siblings, lovers and friends before its too late.
4. Always categorize your problems. I usually categorize them to two sections which are: ongoing and never ending problems and also short term problems.
5. never, never, watch drama Melayu or crite hindustan( the emotional ones) when you are having your blues. This is crucial.haha..trust me on this.
6. Do not make excuses and do not blame others. for instance, my dad selalu takde kat umah, tu yang i slalu kuar tu..my friends slalu clubbing and drag i, tu yang i slalu ikot tu, adek beradek i pon buat juge, derang turn out OK je"..(you are your own master)
7. Your sanity is your most valuable treasure. Indulge in the 400 dollars Marc Jacobs mary janes if you need to, play the X-box for 10 hours if you need to, eat as much as you want if you need to.
8. Always bersyukur ( a lesson from mommy) and dont compare and contrast with others. Being highly competitive once, i have learnt to tone down. you cant get all, and being too hard on your selves will burn you out.
9. You know yourself the most. what others think of you is only half of the equation.
These are some of the things that helped me to go through all the adversities. Hope some will benefit out of it. Nevertheless, more are yet to be learnt and shared.
