I am the Grinch of laser tags

So what's new?

I remembered Valentine's Day being just a few days back. I'm guessing the day went quite well for some people and some just didnt give a damn... like me. For starters, i'm a Muslim and apparently we Muslims dont believe in this "day full of love" crap. We celebrate love everyday, well, why shouldnt we be? And secondly, if we were into this kind of thing, i wont even have a special person to spend the day with...

...because everyone loves me! How to choose only one?! I dont want to be the one breaking people's heart on Valentine's Day.

Haha. Ok i kid.

Adding up to my recent updates, my finals are finally over. Wouldnt want to be commenting more on that. What happened, happened. And i certainly cant undo anything at this point, so yeah, redha and tawakkal it is.

I guess that's it for a quick update. So what's new in YOUR life? Anything interesting or memorable happened recently? Care to share?

Haha i kid you again. I dont want to hear stories about your boring little life. Bazinga.

Maaan i'm so creepy. Blogging like i'm talking to someone when in reality i'm just talking to myself.



ANYWAAAAYYYSS

Picking up from where i left off in my recent post, i wrote about my intention to blog about the recent weddings that i've been to. Erm but when you look at it now, it wont be that recent actually. Try a month ago.

So the first wedding was Zuley's sister's. We went all the way to Johor Bahru for this wedding and stayed there for the weekend. That wedding was really something. To be honest, i have never been to a really cultured Malay wedding before. That, or i have, but didnt care enough to notice. At this wedding, i got to contribute a bit by preparing the doorgifts and Zuley's family basically had free labor. I knew i complained a lot, but hehe that was just to annoy him. Frankly, despite the tiredness and all, i actually felt honored that i was given a chance to participate. We even got to stand at the tolls, and we were in the official wedding photos for heaven's sake! And we're not even family! Thank you for making us feel so welcomed :')

Free labors

Speaking of tolls, do you know that in a Johorian wedding, there are tolls keeping the groom away from the bride? I didnt! The groom would have to pay every single person standing in his way, kinda like bribery i must say, until he cleared all the tolls and can finally reach the bride. I got paid and was excited as hell like a kid who just got duit raya from a stranger.

Yeahh that's right dude. You wanna get to her, PAY UP!

Us, destroying the wedding photos without shame

The trip meanwhile was quite delightful. We had Faitz coming down all the way from Terengganu just to hang with us for the weekend. And we did Damia's surprise birthday celebration too on the same weekend. The days were so packed and i didnt have enough rest, but i had total fun.

Nothing beats a good weekend spent with the dudes :) And one dudette. Haha.

With Faitz Aqira. Follow him on Twitter! He loves Twitter, A LOT. Hehe

Birthday celebration. Got her a Harimau Malaya jersey with her name on it!

The next wedding that i went to was just a few days before my examination started. I had to hear complaints from my mom saying i should not be going out at a time like this.

"Dah habis pandai lah sampai boleh pergi wedding lepas tu lepak dengan kawan ni?"

Yeah yeah mummy sheesh.

Anyway, this wedding was Emira's sister's. This one was just in Subang and since it's so near i guessed, oh what the heck screw exams, i'll go. Besides, i was really looking forward to meet my old high school friends at the wedding. The day was expected to be spent with just us girls, probably be doing some gossiping or looking at hot guys in baju melayu lipat lengan, but turns out...

SEMUA PUN NAK BAWAK BOYFRIEND. OKAY. LEPAS TU FATIN & HELMI PICK AKU, AKU RASA MACAM KENA JEMPUT DENGAN PARENTS. OKAY.

Haha dont get me wrong, i like their boyfriends, i really do. No problem with that. But i just thought we could have some "us" time, y'know? Girls, if any of you guys are reading this (which is very unlikely), dont get mad! I dont hate your boyfriends hehe. Hmm too bad my boyfriend is too busy flying around saving the world, or i could have joined the party.

Despite all that, i had a great time at the wedding. 90% of the greatness didnt came from the wedding, of course, but the company i had with me. But the wedding itself went quite well. They even have performances of kids dancing in front of the pelamin awww so cute i can die.

Prety pretty polaroid

The bride's sister, Emira! .... And Fateen Aqeela. To be honest i'm just putting up this photo because Fateen put multiple photos of me in her blog. Boy, she must really love me.

After we ate, we went down to the house's basement (yes, the house has a basement filled with entertainment, yes very cool indeed) because it was getting too hot outside. Some kids were playing Wii. And i came to terrorize them.

Haha. Here's a funny story.

My friends and i were talking about plans to hang out in the future. One friend suggested that we play laser tag and i suddenly got all excited and started rambling facts and experiences on the game (ecehh "experiences" padahal baru main dua kali).

One kid suddenly asked me,

"What is laser tag? Is it the game with the guns?"

"Yes. You ever played?"

"No... i scared."

"Do you know how people play the game? The shoot lasers at you and then when you got hit, you die. Not in the game only, tapi betul betul die. You want to play with me?"

"No... i dont want to die." At this point his lips were trembling. Hillarious!

"Memang la you can die, but it's fun! Later we play ok?"

Then his older brother, who was old enough not to believe me, got all excited and said he wants to play some day. This terrifies the little kid.

"NO ABANG! YOU CANNOT PLAY! YOU CANNOT DIE!"

God knows how hard were we laughing. This kid... so clueless, so cute. After that we changed the topic but the kid sat at one corner, whispering to himself.

"I dont want to play laser tag. I dont want to play laser tag. I dont want to play laser tag."

Roflol i freaking traumatized him. My friends were all like, Nina tengok apa kau dah buat eee jahat. Yeah yeah, but you guys have gotta admit, this is fun. I know because you guys were laughing at him too.

When we were leaving, he grabbed my baju kurung, asking where am i going.

"I want to go play laser tag."

"NOOOO!!"

He didnt want to let my baju kurung go. I had to admit i was kidding. And there goes all the fun.

The shit just got real

My fingers are itching to blog. They are like telephatically yelling at me asking me to write just about anything. So i was like "Okay, okay.. typing this now..www.blo..."

And now here i am.

Screw what i just wrote. I was actually planning on blogging like a week ago on the recent wedding receptions i went, each with a different set of my homies. It was super fun! Who knew weddings can be fun. I used to be the kid who goes to weddings JUST to eat. I wont even be bothered to even catch a glimpse of the pelamin or the bride and groom.

"Alah panasnya. You done eating, mummy? Daddy? Ok jom balik."

But i've got a different view on weddings now. Well, i'll comment on that later in another post.

I cant really blog much now since the bloody final examination period is on. As of now, i have answered 5 of the papers, meaning i have 5 papers left and one week of torture to go. Preparing a real blog post will take some time off my studying, so yeah imma put that aside for a moment and here i am presenting you with this shitload of crap.

Forgive me, like i said earlier, i was just dying to write a new post. Why is it that when i dont have enough time, ideas came bursting out of my head demanding for em to be posted in my blog. But when i have all the time in the world, my mojo in blogging just wont come back. Sigh. This is one twisted world we're living in.

So untill then, let me get my exam papers over and done with. I need all the luck i can get, SO YOU BETTER WISH ME LUCK because the shit just got real.

Every final examination in college is like SPM all over again. Just let me die and end my misery.



By the way, have you guys tried the app for iPhone, Simsimi? That is one rude and offensive (yet funny) bot i tell you. Who the hell teaches it to respond in such a way? God, if Simsimi was my child, he wont be getting any dessert after dinner tonight.

So last weekend my boyfriend left me....

...and yeah i was pretty devastated. Still am, actually. I mean, we had this relationship that's been ongoing for 5 years, and now he suddenly leaves me. 5 years is a really, really long time. Not many couples can last that long. Cant really say i didnt get the heads up though, but i was just degil enough to ignore the fact, thinking maybe he wont leave. Maybe he'll stay... for a couple more years?

But he did left. He did. Last Saturday.

Whyyy sayangku Zachary Levi whyyy? Kenapa you sanggup tinggalkan i?? You nak i kecewa sampai bunuh diri ke sayang??



Okay i was kidding. I didnt have a 5 year relationship with anyone, incase that's still not obvious to you.



I was actually talking about Chuck, one of my all time favourite series, which ended for good after 5 seasons just last Saturday. I still cant believe to this very day that there will be no more Chuck, Sarah, Ellie, Awesome and the others to cheer my day. I admit, i didnt start watching Chuck until the show reaches its third season because back then when i was in school, we had no Astro and 24/7 access to the internet. So after i finished with my SPM, i caught up with all the missed episodes without missing not even one, right until the very end.

Some people asked me, why do i like Chuck so much? Especially that i'm a girl. Not many of my girlfriends watch Chuck as they would resort to something more girly like Gossip Girl or 90210. Well, for me, i have always loved a good spy flick. You know, Mission Impossible, James Bond and that kinda stuff. Chuck here definitely fits in that category, only different.



Unlike normal spy stories, the real spy in Chuck is the girl. However, the nerd who got a genius spy computer stucked in his head, was forced to become a spy. And with that, the journey begins for 5 whole seasons. A lot has happened. They've defeated numerous bad guys like The Ring, Fulcrum and Volkoff. Chuck and Sarah even fell in love and got married, and so did Ellie and Awesome who later got a baby girl. Even the stupid Morgan found the girl of his dreams and is settling down. For 5 years, they went from CIA, to freelance spies, to non-spies. It's these things that happened that makes it so hard for a Chuckster like me to actually let the show go. I mean, i've been there when Chuck and Sarah got married, when Sarah almost died, when baby Clara was born, when Daniel Shaw killed Chuck's father, when the Intersect switched hands multiple times... hey, i'm practically a family!

God, even writing this makes me sad.

Most of the Chuck fans would think that the ending of Season 4 would be the perfect ending, where Chuck and Sarah finally got married and they can live happily ever after since they were no longer CIA spies and have a fortune left from Volfkoff. But it didnt end there. Season 5 came along, and everything went upside down.






I would not want to be giving any spoilers here, but let me just say that the series ended pretty sad. Everything went well for everybody, except Chuck and Sarah. After 5 years of being and working together, you'd think that they'll catch a break and finally be happy. But they did not. I dont know, maybe they eventually did, but the show ended as if all of the 5 years worth of their hardwork went down the drain.

I personally was very devastated, i even shed a tear in the last two episodes cause everything became so intense and emotional especially when they always bring up snippets of Chuck and Sarah moments all the way from season 1. It's really heartbreaking to be watching all of the memories built, knowing that they dont exist anymore. For those who have not watched the season finale, you must be wondering what on Earth happened that took everything away from Chuck and Sarah. Well, i guess you should just check it out yourself.

The most heartbreaking scene for me in the season finale was when Chuck brought Sarah to the house of their dreams, where Chuck told Sarah of their story. It was so sad, Chuck was crying for God's sake, i cant even.... *cries*






Dont get me wrong, i am not saying that it was a bad ending for the show. It was actually quite good, considering it didnt satisfy the cliche ending of happily ever after. I dont think anyone would've guessed that it would end that way. So thumbs up for the element of surprise. But my heart secretly wishes that it wouldn't end that way because it's really sad. I have been rooting for them for 5 years and now here you are presenting me with this bad news. Oh the heartache :'(

Anyways, cant be a baby forever, can i? Eventually i would have to accept that Chuck is finally gone. And i would definitely have to accept the fact that it ended that way. Come to think of it, the ending was more of a new beginning. "The big finish was the new beginning" , a reviewer wrote. And the show ended with a kiss on the beach, with the very last line being Sarah saying "Kiss me, Chuck." , which definitely puts a smile on my face (and my guess, other Chuck fans too).




Goodbye forever, Chuck. Maybe a few years later, i'll be watching you again, right from the very beginning, and be reminded of how awesome of a spy you were :)

I am a proud Chuckster, always and forever will.
