One of Those Days......

Today is one of those days when I feel like I'm feeling down.

Not too sure why.

Could it be that it's that time of the month?

Or whether it's the last week for the semester, the fact that I won't see these set of students anymore (well, I'm sure to bump into them in campus.... but not anymore in my class, that is)?

Or the fact that my eyes are all swollen..... only to realised that I've been eating prawns the past 3 days (OK - let's be fair to my eyes....... My eyes have been swollen since Monday...... since mom brought back some Udang Galah from KK. And then, to top off the swollen eyes further, I had prawns, again, yesterday, when we had dinner at Italiannies; and the fact that I know I have such reactions to prawns but don't really care much about it because the temptation of eating prawns is much greater than my vanity)?

Or the fact that I've been having this annoying sore throat the past 2 weeks. Not so distracting during the day, but rather seriously annoying at night. The mega annoying thing about this sore throat is............. it wouldn't go away..... which reminds me (again..........) that I have to make that trip to see Dr.Sorethroat?

Or the fact that my PhD 2nd module one-week workshop is coming up again.... Next week, to be exact. The fact that I'm so behind schedule..... I've tonnes of literature to read, there's so much to do, there's way too heavy stuff to comprehend (what more understand) ............... there's so little time ............... arrrggghhhhhhhhh ......... why does this sound so familiar?

Or the fact that I'm just feeling under the weather........... and that...... right now, I just want to curl up in bed with a box of chocolates and the Astro remote control in my hands?

What could it possibly be?
Well, I guess.... it's just one of those days.............

But this day, is not just like one of those days.....
This day..... is different.......... it's special............. and I'll tell you why.

I received an email invitation and sms message from my dear long-distance friend, kuE, who had requested me to post something on her blog..... toward her PROJECT #36.

I feel honored and blessed that I've been given the opportunity to do so.
Thank you, dear.


kuE,

wishing you a splendid birthday............ and I hope and wish that all your hopes and wishes and dreams come true for you...... and do have a wonderful birthday party with your loved ones. HAPPY BIRTHDAY.............


With love,
Sweet Leilanie

Sweet memories are made of these.........................

I'm a Guest Blogger, I am

Hello EVERYONE.......................

It's me, Leilanie from the SweetLeilanie blogsite.
A lot of people call me Lanie, but some just call me Leila - pronouncing my name as a whole, Leilanie, seems to be a mouthful to some people. So, I'm pretty much OK with anything as long as it's not Leleni, or Lennie, or Lelaki, or Elaine (yeh! the lady who does my hair calls me that).

How did I get here............ hmmm...........
Here's my SMS conversation with kuE at 9.55a.m :

kuE :
gm dear. fyi m hvng bfst wz pu3 @ coffee bean. she has 2 b at d dance centre at 10.20, jus a few blks away. i'd like 2 b my guest blogger if u r free. my id-xxxxxx n password-yyyyy. mwahh....

Leilanie :
Huh? Tak paham. :)

kuE :
fyi m having bfst wz pu3 @ coffee bean. puteri is hvng her ballet test 2day. i'd like u 2 b my guest blogger if u r free. my id-xxxxx n passwrod-yyyyy. mwahh.....

Leilanie :
oh ok. But what do you want me to write about? Anything specific? I have a meeting to attend now and can only do later, ok. My love and luck to your sweet Puteri for her ballet test.

kuE :
anything that comes out frm yp mind ;)

Leilanie :
Orait dear

kuE :
pu3 said tq. hugs n kisses 2 u.

Leilanie :
She'll do well......... Tell her she will........ Because she's an angel :)


So, I'm done with the 10am meeting with CXXX and the 12pm meeting with Bank MYYY, and am now happily typing away for kuE.

Then, I realised that I keyed in every single word - I spelled everything in full (look at the SMS above) .............. I crossed every single T and dotted all the I's; while kuE was just selamba-dek using all the shortcuts. No wonder I couldn't understand what she wanted me to do when I read her 1st SMS. hee hee.
But it's not her, it's just me. I'm such a %#$@&(*^#.
I admire people who can come up with such creative ancronyms.

So, to Pu3 from Auntie Leilanie - here's a special message to you, with love :
Gd luck 4 ur ballet test 2day. I knw U will ACE e' test. U R 1 talented girl N U will do well rgdless. Dance l'tle princess dance...... Study smart N play hard! Hugs N kisses 2 U fr aunt Lei.

kuE's note:

Leilanie dear, thank you so much for being my guest blogger yesterday. it was such a fun and great idea isn't it. hmm... wonder whose my next victim lol. i guess you'd be wondering of how i came across all those ancronyms very well huh? well, i used to be a secretary and P.A. many years ago thats why hehe...

FYI i didn't change a thing on Leilanie's post except my cyber-nick name. it was supposed to be typed as such to emphasize the pronounciation correctly i.e. kuE ~ pronounced as ku - E ('e' as per the letter E) ;)

i am so sorry people for the misunderstanding. my nick-name kuE was given by an auntie whose also my dad's koleq's friend' wife. of course my real-life nick name is different. i guess maybe a few of my new friends knew like cikun, hasnul, rose (?), Leilanie (?) and Sheryl (?). Annamox also dunno my real-life nick name even if we have met once. sorry people i do not want to use my real-life nick name here in this cyber world. i hope you all understand me.

p/s- pics of puteri to be posted soon.

hugs, kuE

yea... i'm back!!!

yes... i arrived home almost 10.30pm. started almost 6.30pm frm KD. lurvee driving during the chill cooooll weather tho' juz like last nite, so damn goood man... more cool when it started to rain. so i drove damn slow like 80-90 km/h. hmm... when talking about driving, that always reminds me that i still owe Zed "my don't drink and drive experience" ;) one day k...

anyhow if not because there's a discussion between parents and teachers at puteri's school this morning, i would have still be in kl by now lol. there will be some extra classes for puteri starting next month. this is a good initiative of the school teachers. puteri still in kl, enjoying her holidays. she will be facing the upsr exam next year, so thats why she is enjoying herself now.

i went to kl last saturday with megat and mom. for my kl trip this time, basically there were two important reasons i.e. first we went to cousin shanaz house-warming bbq party at putrajaya and the other, i met a very special friend for the first time! i didn't take any pics at shanaz's place. i dun have digicam. i also lost my purple colour nokia 7250i few months ago :( taraaa.... i still managed to put-up some pics of the party here with the courtesy from my cousin nivin. tqsm my dear.

smile...

...and we took a pic first while waiting for the rest ;)

girl cousins (complete)

front row from left: sarah, shanaz & liyana. back row from left: illa, ida, ina, nivin & me.

alright... banking at rhb sj yesterday morning was really sucks. things that could be done within minutes, took them hours to settle. grr... so i decided to do the banking stuff at the other bank in pj next time instead. at least i have another good excuse for me to drive down to kl again lol.

anyhow my most important "to-do list" yesterday was my lunch-cum-blind date with a very special friend. guess who?!!... hehe... i dropped-off megat and mom at MV (hehe... midvalley lor..) then i drove straight away to jalan raja chulan. i parked my 4wd at the weld basement parking area, walk across to the opposite building. gosh... i forgot the name of the building tho' lol... our meeting point was at the coffee bean. i didn't see any sign of her so i joined the queue. suddenly she sms me that she was on the way down, so i decided to just wait for her outside the shop. i sat on one of the chairs when my staff called for some problems back home. suddenly... ah ha... leilanie walked right infront of me. i smiled at her and quickly end my fon conversation. we walked in, ordered some food and drinks (ya lor... lapo hehe...). we chat while eating our lunch. i felt so damn excited meeting leilanie for the first time. at one time, i dun feel like eating anyway because i was so truly damn EXCITED!!! but at the same time, my stomach was singing damn loud, so i decided to eat too rotfl... we talked about everything... our life, family, work, blogs, Zed (hehe...), etc etc etc. i tried to take pic of leilanie using my new nokia 6680 that i juz bought on sunday in 1u. unfortunately its not captured. i dunno what have i done wrong. i am so sorry kawan. hmm... that was the fact that i didn't read the user's manual yet lol... luckily leilanie brought along her digital camera too. looks like i'll post the pics here after she email me the pics as promised. i am soooo sorry again, kawan.
