on a monday, i shall :)

no i will not get ahead of myself
no i will not plan


but

yes i will go with the flow
yes i will just do whatever feels right


because you never know if there will be another time
& life is too short to not do,say, live the way you want to




in the family, it does run

the IT illiteracy


it's a nice kinda odd although somewhat fitting for my admittedly dysfunctional family unit

all 3 of us are separated. all 3 in different countries. all 3 in different timezones.


mom = new zealand , on extended holiday

baby sis = usa, studying + dancing her ass off

me = home, work+party+the norm


we recently started an e-mail thread as a means of communicating, to supplement the 3-way telephone calls, sometimes at the oddest times


so mom sends an email to us. short. disjointed. abrupt. punctuation-less. as usual.

then i reply to all. no caps. random ramblings. as usual.

then nisa writes to all. but sends only to me.

haha.


my response - "eh, u forgot to click 'reply all' la dungu. go send again. if not mom will never know how to read it"


yes. i love my family :)

and mom better get her ass back in time for christmas.

i am NOT spending christmas alone

grr
would it have been
Wednesday, November 19, 2008

any different?
would I be any different?

its been more than 2 years. time heals all, so they say.
yes, i've healed.

BUT

its amazing how a single song. image. scent. can send you back to that very moment again. to that place & time, oh so long ago.
when i was not quite me yet. and probably he too.


a close friend asked me recently, if i am the way i am now, because of him in a way.
i told her "Yes & No" . and i meant it.
i do believe that everything we do go through shapes you & has an effect that will continue to be felt for a long long time yet.
but who/what i am today, is not soley because of him.
of such credit, he is undeserving


at least i have the balls to admit that it affected me.
im only human afterall.
a human who has dated robots

my.wrists.are.burning

it


2nd day of Brasil Fest 08
2nd day of crazy capoeira workshops
today we had samba as well
shook that bunda till i got a stitch


i think...
im getting hooked

i love it when my body hurts
for all the right reasons

step 1
Monday, November 10, 2008

of many more steps to come
has been completed
after more than a year of very efficient & effective procrastination
i have finally started...

cleaning my room

step 1 = the bathroom
there's still stuff i need to fix in there
change of cupboard
change of hanging shelf
but for the most part of it
im good :)

step 2 = clothes in 3 cupboards
*groan*

"omg Nur. You are like a computer. You break everything down to steps & processes"
"Well, as one huge project/task, it all seems to daunting. Just the thought of it is too tiring & hence I scare myself into never starting. I wouldn't know where to start"
"... "
"But if I break it down into lil baby steps. It doesnt seem so difficult anymore, so the possibility of me actually starting is greater. It's all in my head really"
" You're still a computer"

but hey. computer or no computer. it works
Let's just hope this momentum holds


God save my soul for the week that's about to come
5 work events. 1 week long capoeira festival. 1 long lost Oz mate down to layan.
I hope I ate enough Brasilian Salty Blue Beef to keep me goin
oh god i could eat that everyday ...

what if...

i didn't wake up

i suffer from bouts of sleep paralysis
it scares me like fuck





wtf is that?

i wikipedia-ed it





Sleep paralysis is a common condition characterized by transient partial or total paralysis of skeletal muscles and areflexia that occurs upon awakening from sleep or less often while falling asleep. Stimuli such as touch or sound may terminate the episode, which usually has a duration of seconds to minutes. This condition may occur in normal subjects or be associated with narcolepsy, cataplexy, and hypnagogic hallucinations.

in short.
when i sleep sometimes, i can't wake up, as best as i try to
i can see my arms, legs, surroundings
but i just can't move them



today's episode involved a feeling of coldness sweeping across my body
numbness
at least this time there were no voices

apparently theres treatment
some pills to take before u go to bed


but..
i hate pills
bah! i'll deal with it my own way

ever had a nightmare you just wanted to wake up from
try this
it kicks any nightmare's balls
its real





this bastard has always scared the living shit outa me
but
it still doesn't come close to my 'episodes'
:(
call me miss

nur the english teacher

that should go next to my job title

yes i am the comms rep
yes i will edit your work before we let it out in the open & leave ourselves open to public humuliation

but my god
sometimes i think i should rewrite the definition of the word 'edit' specifically for this context

or maybe
i should just have written it all myself
it already feels like that

*throws hands up in air*
*slumps back in chair*
*rolls eyes in disbelief*

where has my friday gone?
must! must! must!

go to thailand for new years!
iv already had my leave approved
im buying a guide book this weekend
iv got the budget and my eye on the ticket


dammit!
now all i need is a travel buddy
cos thailand is just too dangerous to travel alone around in


bangkok chaos for new years eve
krabi tranquility to start the new year


yes. that is exactly how i want to start my new year

from that one entry in my To Do list

8. Set-up Wiki entry for EC@ Work

yes, more jargon
yes, we have our own Wiki network


no, i don't know how to do that
no, im not keen on learning at this point in time


entry No 9 is of the same nature
hence it attracts a rather similar response from your's truly

9. Update SWAN website

*double gag*


Goddammitttt!!!


im skippin 8 & 9 for now

oh wait. i've been doing that for days now
how much further can i run?

its the end of the day
and a new friend made me smile like a cow

it was this comment exactly that did it for me

"but i came to love my boobies and shit..."

i lost it

nearly giggled myself off my chair

ok
kickboxing time
nur vs the rain + the long lonely ulu highway first
the unstoppable mouth

that was what Davey called me

"oh, but in a good way", 3 secs later

"but you're not today. hmm..."

over lunch
i think he proved the saying

pot calling the kettle black

rather well

har har Davey

:P
im not always

happy happy joy joy
hyper energetic
ball of monkey fur
bouncing around town


no


there are also days
when im like this


im slipping
and i dont even know why


don't look me in the eye
you won't like what you see


hitori

we thrive when we are afraid
the fear of the unknown bring out the best in people
out of your comfort zone, we can fly



i've never liked being alone
that is a fact



i could never use to understand how some people enjoyed it so
i found it ...
unnerving



although when i think about it now
you are with yourself
with the person who knows you the best
or should.could.would.
will.



i will be honest
i am alone
i have never felt more alone than this



oh yes. there was kuching.
10,000 humans
1 me



i felt the strangest sense of satisfaction
walking amongst strangers
too many
but none

10,000 but 1


im goin back there now
to find that peace
my peace




save me
i will
its just
Monday, November 3, 2008

me now

perhaps this is what i need

perhaps

time to reflect
time to be

me
out




iv been feelin rather out of it
the past 2 days, today included


it's a strange, rather unnerving feeling
unsettling
uncomfortable
unknown


i can't explain it
i suspect that i may just need to tone it down a little
to not outdo myself
to do nothing

nur will be out of reach this week

but if i do reach out to you
u should know that
ur in
super duper gaggggg

i can't stop grinning
i cannot believe how blind i was
its so horribly disgusting that its funny
how did i put up with it?


mistakes.mistakes. mistakes.

o_0

all i can say is

THANK YOU

  • to that cina for taking in what i didn't want anymore. all of which that was never good enough for me
  • to God that this mistake wasn't as public as it could've been
  • to you for being incomparably unbelievably amazing.tigerrawr


apparently...

Ternyata - Estrella

Aku lihat dia pandangan
pertama
Ternyata indah
Senyuman, Liriknya

Ku ingin dia, saat pertama
Berjumpa, dengannya
Membuat ku gelisah

Waktu berlalu hari demi hari
Hatiku dambakannya
Untuk bercinta lagi

can't you tell?
