30 day snap #30

I love me some pussycat dolls

   LOL, so much for wanting to make such a celebratory ending to the 30 day snap challenge. May I remind you that the ipod had nothing to at all to do with the events going on today, it was just to signify the ending of it.
  
   So today was just one of those horrible days that just ruined me in all body and soul. It started out good with me driving to my aunt's house with my mum. As usual my mum wanted to go there so she could get a massage (don't ask...). Since I had nothing else to do there I hanged out with the millions of cats that my aunt owns in this special room she has just for them. Thus the never ending allergy sneeze fest begun (because I'm technically allergic to cats you see). But despite the sneezes, I powered through (or I tried to power through) because I just can't help myself when I am with a bunch of cute puffy Persians...............
  Then, plot twist! I start to feel giddy and sick and ran to the washroom where I proceeded to vomit out my breakfast and whatever was left in my digestive system.... I thought that was the end of it, but no my body decided to surprise me again by making me purge out 3 more times when we reached home...... uggh..... It felt sickening. I couldn't really eat much which frustrated me even more because I was ready to take advantage my mum's free time to go eat outside.
  In the end I took a pill for vomiting and took a nap until dinnertime, even then I still had problem eating! (I take my meals and food very seriously). Now I'm here typing out this post to you while listening to nostalgic songs from the 2000's

30 day snap #29

I really need to stop procrastinating. .... back to the topic, yesterday I had some high quality ribs at this place in kl called las vacas mainly because my dad got rm200 worth of vouchers. The food there was cooked wonderfully to the point that I got a bit scared trying to approach them once it reached  our table.....

A photo of my cupcake recipe book I bought sometime ago.

Sorry for the late post again hehe......

   I've been finding myself pretty fond of cupcakes lately. Like anything related to the little cake I'm interested... For real. For instance did you guys know the first mention of the cupcake can be traced as far back to 1796? Who knew right? *nervous laughs*

   I guess I can trace my sudden interest in them thanks to Cupcake Wars. I mean have you seen that show lately? Nothing gets me on my toes then a fast paced cupcake baking show;

30 day snap #27

 Can you believe that the 30 day snap challenge is ending so soon? 3 days left and it's all over. Maybe I'm gonna try to do something big on the last day but for now I'm just gonna keep on taking pictures.
  So today my dad brought back his old Olympus dSLR camera for me to learn how to use. He's given me at least a few weeks to learn and at the end of those few weeks I have to show him pictures that I took with that particular camera and he will be the judge to see if I am worthy enough to permanently keep it. -_- (it's not like he needs to use it anymore).....
  It's a big chunk of difficulty I can tell you that. This is an old dSLR so no new high tech shit that will help make this learning process any easier.... *sigh*

30 day snap #26

So yesterday my lovely maid returned from Indonesia after her long well deserved break and immediately she got to work and as you can see, my desk is now not as messy as before which I'm grateful for! :D

30 day snap #25

   Occasionally my dad would come around and spoil my mum with some kind of high end accessory be it a piece of jewellery or a pair of nice shoes. So today happened to be one of those occasional moments and happily for my mum she got a brand new Coach leather handbag to match her new Calvin Klein flats she bought at the Designer Shoe Warehouse in the US.  My dad decided to go all the way as to order that bag especially just so it could match those particular shoes.
   So to celebrate the occasion my mum made me take my special big girl camera and take photos of it with the shoes. To be quite honest I was pretty thrilled to do it because It'll sort of be like doing one of those fashion and accessory shoots I see on Tumblr all the time.
  I took a bunch of photos and edited the ones I liked (by edited I meant playing around with the hipster filters on ipiccy.com)

30 day snap #22

I sort of missed out 30 day snap #21 yesterday mainly because I fell asleep early and sort of forgottento do it... I'll find a way to make it up

As for today, it was pretty eventful! I signed up for college today at taylor's and met up with an old schoolmate. After that my mum and I went to subang parade and ate cheese fries and chicken fillets and bought more food! We both brought that food to malacca and visited my brother. We went back, showered and got to my aunt's house (which I drove  there myself) so my mum could get her urut on while I hung out with my cousin watching Running Man together. My mum finished her massage around 1am and I drove us back, so here I am! Pooped and not really looking forward to do anything....

30 day snap #20 |big girl achievement unlocked!

Look what I got today! :D plwase just don't mind the mug shot on my license...

30 day snap #19 | novelties

I'm not proud of myself here. I think I've started buying books just for novelty reasons now... it ain't good..... I should get treatment for this!

30 day snap #18

  This isn't exactly the part of the conversation Athira agreed to let me show but I thought it was the most appropriate and endearing we had so far.
   Basically she and I have been chatting through Whatsapp just to keep update on each others lives and banter about the most trivial things because we're proper adults like that you see...... She's been doing good so far still adjusting to college life and trying to make her place but I'm sure she'll get there. It's kind of sad I can't really meet with her in person anymore since she's all the way in Sarawak and I'm here in little old Selangor :-/ Aqilah! We need to go out soon because I'm bored as hell at home right now and I'm dying to do some retail therapy!!!!

Journey To San Fran!

gotta love my mum

nothing says creepy like taking photos of strangers inside a train

Just my boots and I on our way to an adventure

 So I decided to continue with my US adventures blog posts mainly because Aqilah's doing one on her trip to Japan and I can't exactly sleep right now.
   One of the things that I keep hearing from tourists about the US is that San Francisco is one of the nicest place to go to because of a few things; great public transport, nice people and of course the clothing stores that go on for miles. So as appreciators of nice people and clothing stores, we decided to take on this opportunity. We decided to take the Amtrak train instead of the usual flying so we could enjoy the view of the countryside that everyone on the internet has been raving about and let me tell you they weren't wrong! Greens and mountains everywhere like ermahgerr!!!! I couldn't help myself but feel all day dreamy and such! We arrived at San Fran at about 11:00pm at night and were pretty exhausted from the whole traveling.


I guess that's the end of part one!

30 day snap #17

mmhmm... nothing beats food pictures like oh yeah!

    So like usual I didn't do much today except  lying around on my bed messing with my phone......

       Since my dad won't be coming back from his golf game vacation in Jakarta until Wednesday, my mum and I decided to take this opportunity to go eat at places my dear old father would have never agreed to. Tonight, we had our dinner at S Kitchen at the First Subang mall which is also where my mum's office is at. I have been to the restaurant a few times before so I was pretty familiar with the place which serves mostly pasta and steaks. But the thing I usually look forward to is their creme brulee, which is to die for! The crisp slightly bitter burnt sugar on the top and the cool smooth creme at the bottom *drools* uuggh, I can't stop thinking about it!!!!!
      I also enjoyed the fact that I was able to enjoy dinner only with my mum because I don't have to exactly share her with my other siblings hehehehehehe.......

Blog view stats

Is there like a way to confirm the legitimacy of my blog view stats because I swear the majority of the views I get are most probably from myself when I'm feeling incredibly bored and somewhat narcissistic.

30 day snap #16/ Father's day cliche

    Happy Father's Day to my one and only father! Today we decided to celebrate by having moi drive all the way to Raju's at Petaling Jaya and join my aunt, cousin and grandparents at eating what use to be good roti canai (such a shame).  But the quality of the fried sotong remained so it wasn't all that bad.
     The journey to the restaurant was a nerve shattering one, we each almost went into cardiac arrest during the drive, LOL! In my defense, I was driving my dad's car where the windscreen wipers and signal lights were all over the place and the vehicle in general was generally large.............
   Anywho, I hope my dad is enjoying his little golf trip in Jakarta right now and returns safely back home this Wednesday!

Some Happy Fathers Day ribs like oh yeah!!!

30 day snap challenge #14

      OMG!!!! Yes!!! Yes!!! Yess!!!!!! Oh my god I am so thankful right now!!!! Thank you Allah for answering my feverish prayers!!!!! OOOOOHHHH My GAWD~~ I am a happy bitch right now!!!!!!!
     I was so nervous for my retake this morning I literally went numb for quite a while. All the JPJ invigilators took their time to prepare themselves this morning which made me even more nervous since I was calon no. 3 for the test. I was also made aware that they would usually let the re-takers go first and since there were only 10 of us (for the jalanraya) this morning I became kind of scared. Especially since this time my invigilator was a woman. As you all know, the female JPJ invigilators get quite the reputation for being the more strict and feisty ones. But thank god this one was in a very good mood because I think I wouldn't have made it to the end of my route if she wasn't as happy as she was with me today. Everything went fine except when I was trying to get to the next lanes I was pretty slow so the lady marah me a little but I got her drift so it was cool. The best part was she was the kind of invigilator I could cerita-cerita with so I was happy with that.
   You have no idea how happy I am right now!!!! All the work I've put into perfecting my driving has not gone to waste (I hope) and the people around me were so helpful which I am truly grateful for. Let's just hope I can start driving in public without troubling anyone on the road anymore since I am no longer a driver with a learner's permit. I would also like to add that my lesen L would've expired tomorrow so if I didn't pass my test today I would have been in deep trouble by now, so again THANK YOU GOD!!!!!!

30 day snap #13 | free swag!!!

Oh yeah, hipster photo of a party pack and my bubba gump drink I got!!! Woohoo!! My life is so interesting now like ermahgerrr!!!

Lol, sorry about that... I went to a cousin's birthday party tonight at bubba gump and got not one but 2 candylicious party bags filled with awesome candylicious things!!! God I love free stuff..hehehehehehehe

P.S
Happy Birthday Niesa! :D (like she's gonna end up reading this... Lol!)

30 day snap #12 |the book hoarder

Hello, my name is Aida Anis and as you can see from this picture and the last post I made about my bookshelf, I have gone past the "like to read as a fun and intellectual hobby" phase and have gone to the other side (actually I've been on the other side for a really long time but I didn't want to admit it until now)....that's right! I am a book hoarder!!! God save us all e____e I bought the 2nd book to the game of thrones series last week and just bought the LOTR+the hobbit combo set today... all a while I still have not finished the first book to the game of thrones.... seven hells......that is all I could say....

P.S
I mean, how can you  leave a book store without a newly purchased book in your hand?  Like come on!!!

Birthday wish!

It would be really nice to own the Samsung Galaxy Camera in this lovely colour but sadly they don't sell it like this here. I'm gonna have to make my way to Korea to obtain it then! Aqilah?

30 day snap #11

 Stumbled upon my cats randomly lying around in my parents' room like they just dropped out of the sky and decided to stay that way. There was also good lighting so I decided to capture the moment before it was too late.........LOL, I guess that's it then. In other news, Athira and I have been texting to each other a lot lately since she just started college in Sarawak and all. Poor little lady, she had to skip all her classes on the first day because she had trouble finding the lecture halls but I can assure you she's doing much better today. Achtung Athira! Achtung!

30 day snap #10

                             To go or not to go....that is the question!!!!!! Aqilah, wanna come?

30 day snap #9

Today's picture is of my brother getting his little toe "bubu" bandaged by my mum whilst visiting him at his school (MRSM Alor Gajah).  Adam has this weird nasty toe nail bruise for quite a while now and  for the sake of the reader (ahemm... again like anyone ever reads my blog except for Aqilah) I will spare the details. It was nice visiting him in malacca and spending some time with him since I've always appreciated his somewhat calm and relaxed attitude (you can tell by now that Adam and I are in total contrast to each other , LOL! )  we didn't do much there except eat sushi and buy asam and kerepek at Aeon....But it was a decent day overall. It's funny how time goes by very fast. adam is having his PMR this year (his year is the last batch of students to go through the PMR national examinations.....ahaha missed it by that much) and as much as I would like to tell him that PMR isn't a really big deal I can't because my parents are trying to push him towards KYS next year..... the reason behind this is because his school gives too much concentration towards their academics to the point that the Co curricular activities are a total bust which dissapoints my mum gravely. She's always been an advocate of more liberal kinds of learning where they don't give so much emphasis on exams you see so she's been trying to get my brother out of that school since he entered it... but my dad's kind of on the fence about it which was why they thought KY was a good choice for him. But either way, I'll still be proud of Adam for all that he is..................................as long as he reamains bearable........

P.S
I sure am using a lot of full stops and brackets today............................................)))))))))))))))))(((((((((((((

Happy birthday hombre! Alhamdulillah as Allah SWT has blessed you with another year to be filled with more wonderful and cringe worthy moments. I'll leave this sign for you to marvel at for the time being...... :3

30 day snap #7/ driving fail

Now where's the pretty pink slip for my jalanraya test? Well if you're wondering,  it is back at the driving centre so my driving instructor can re-register me back for ny 2nd try. Yup, I totally failed my jalanraya. The one I was so confident that I was going to pass. Surprisingly I passed my bahagian 2 which consists of the hill, parking and the 3 pointer. But I didn't necessarily have a smooth pass. I had to roll back my car on the first try of the hill and I forgot to push back down my parking brakes when coming out of my parking position (which was reminded by this nice  JPJ guy, bless his soul).
As for my jalanraya test, it was already pretty doomed since the beginning, I entered my car and did all that I had to do before leavibg and when I was about to there was this car in front of me and my invigilator surprisingly asked if I could go pass it in a some what harsh tone which freaked me out and when I was about to enter a road from the simpang I was slightly late (as I always am) turning the wheel out of sheer fear and he asked me about that as well which freaked me out even more. I tried to answer him but all I could blurt out was that I was super nervous for this as I didn't have any other answer. As for what gave a large cobtribution to my failure, I accidentally went all the way to the right side of the lane without proper signalling and couldn't get back to my left ssooo... that did it, he became super pissed and asked me to go to the side of the road so he could take over.  We were on that side of the road for a really long time so he could express his anger towards me in writing (on my jalanraya test slip). I was really disappointed as I let my nerves get in the way of my driving because I was already convinced that I had everything down to a tee.... in the end on the way back he decided to be nice to me and apologised to me a few times but it was too late. I already too upset to process the things he was trying to tell me to improve on. Now I'm even more nervous for next week because for all I know I might get an  even more agitated invigilator that can ruin my test even before it begins. Now everytime I  think about the jalanraya test, all I could see in my head is my jpj guy with his ray bans screaming at me with that expressionless face of his. Ya Allah please ease my nerves and give me the confidence to do my jalanraya test and hopefully pass with flying colours

     I contemplated on which picture I was going to post today. It was between this and a picture of me successfully (although with struggle) park my driver's manual car and in the end I chose this. I saw this fantastic rainbow during late evening after my daily jog and just had to take the opportunity to capture it.
 :)

Still a long way to go but it's such a good story and I am determined to finish it!

30 day snap #2

    So this is my picture for the 2nd of June. I went to my aunt's house and SURPRISE! It wasn't just a family brunch, it was also a kenduri doa selamat where there were caterers and cakes and a bunch of people that I don't know. So it was pretty awkward the entire time. I spent those hours there hanging with my brother and watching How To Train Your Dragon on the TV as it was what the little children wanted to watch at the time..... But the food was decent and my lovely aunt ordered those nice red velvet cupcakes I like so it was a good day in general :)
    As for you Aqilah, I'm wondering when you'll arrive back home to warm and humid Malaysia or if you're capable of getting access to good wifi soon in Japan because to be quite honest I miss randomly texting you to save myself out of boredom.

Oh, I don't know if it is necessary but I'm just gonna paste this 30 Day Snap Challenge badge here just to let the blogosphere know I'm in with the challenge as well

30 day snap challenge

As I was tagged to do this by aqilah like god knows how many week ago, I've decided to do it anyways. So here's today's picture, ain't anything fancy it's just a visual summary of what really happened today. As you can see the picture of my cat Gooey lingering around the floor being lazy as my other cat, Juicy awkwardly stares off into the distance in the background.
    So that's what I mostly did, lazed around and ate quite a lot. I'm going to my aunt's tomorrow to have brunch so I'm sure I'll be able to cone up with a nicer picture and better stories tomorrow..... :p
