So I went to holland early december and the trip was .. interesting. One thing that got me thinking after i left, was how christmas was celebrated there. The first thing i came across when i reached the airport were a couple of Santa's little helpers, but the dutch version.

At first i saw them walking around from afar, and i honestly thought that they were black. Then i sat down at starbucks with my brothers, and they passed by us while singing something. so when i was admiring what they were doing, i realised something weird abt them. they were orang putih, and painted their faces black. i was just pretty shocked. and i was just trying to make sense out of it, like ok so it could be tradition, but its pretty insulting, and whyy is no one reacting to it and why is it accepted around sana. then i thought to myself ' eh why do i sound like im the one insulted by this' hahaha

nah some pictures i got from google:

oh and then they stopped dancing around and stayed at a spot, right in front of 2 orang itam. my brothers and i were saying how awkward that probably was! and when i got to the city and stuff, there were a few posters of them. one huge one in amsterdam actually.

so when i got back, i went to library and did some full on research abt the netherlands culture, and how it was widely accepted. and i found out 23% of ... nadawah. talk abt being jobless. i just googled it. i dont know what to do without google. so anyway, i found out that they were called 'Zwarte Pete' i.e. Black Pete. its like a folklore of the netherlands and he helps Sinterklaas. And they usually celebrate it on St Nicolas's eve, which so happens to be the day that i arrived!

The story was that parents would tell their children that Zwarte Pete would bring them gifts and candy if they behaved well. and 'becareful if u dont, or Zwarte Pete will come and get you' - ( which btw is fereaaky.and i swear i've seen a movie that's something like this) and they say he would put children who misbehave in a sack and carry them back with him to Spain, where he came from. Also its not for christmas rupanya. ada yg suggest that the idea of santa claus came from this folklore.

So then i found out more about how its been challenged to be politically incorrect and racist. rupanya some of the white dutch find that its tradition and feel really strong abt it, and some do think its racist..also because black pete was known to be the 'slave' of Sinterklaas. Sekali another suggestion why he was 'painted black' was coz he'd go through the chimneys to give gifts. hahah..

im just still really shocked kali. nah if u wanna watch a video of it, although the guy who interviewed her was kind of annoying..

time to saleep.

2009-12-08T18:53:00.001-08:00

to be or not to be!

ahhah although they sound quite annoying and i stopped half way through.. its quite cute. it sort of brings out some nostalgic memories. Things were wayyy easier back then and we had so many time to be able to be carefree. i can almost remember that feeling of playing on the bouncer slide with my cousins and having the best time, wanting to win the musical chair game or the best looking mummy where they cover u with tissue paper, to having some high school drama like friendship being broken apart and 'tukar group' HAHA, the different kinds of people i've met, the punishments i got from teachers, to having our ca mohammad meets in between classes, chilling at friends houses watching scary movies and junk food galore!, having a stay in, making funny videos for them ETC.

now im freaking 21 and old. i know im old because im already complaining. and busy actually means something! like busy trying to do my essay...or well wasting my time to find that ive now less time than before ..and hence super busy hahah thats the one bad habit that ive realised hasnt changed. always restless until the last minute.

ok mengantuk =/ this young adult needs her sleep..ill just work more on this essay tomorrow...and ill just grow up another time....harhar

hi ;)

i bought a 4 in 1 dvd of JAWS! i didnt really watch everything coz it was too slow and i got annoyed, old movies have a way of spending too much time on the build up. so i kept forwarding to the shark attack bits-just because that was the main thrill that got me so scared of sharks back then. so i was watching some of the shark attacks sekali palui..

i know its not real! and i checked youtube if it has actually ever happened before but so far NONE alhamdulillah hehe. but man do i get scared of these things. menyasal meliat =(

oh and selamat berpuasa everyone , sahur timee!

ps. this video may save ur life!

2009-08-22T02:36:00.001-07:00

hi guys.

its always during the exam month when i feel like blogging. probably because its when i lock myself in my room, in the hopes of forcing myself to study. self discipline. my god, do i lack that shit. even if i try, i still find ways of being distracted. like right now. but i woudlnt say this is wasting my time, i might say something awesome and u might want to put it in ur favourite quotations in facebook HAHA

anyway im kinda tired, i'll continue soon, baboon.

2008-10-18T18:29:00.000-07:00

i feel like sitting on green grass, with a blue summer dress, and those chill dark sunglasses on, with the right people around me. with fine weather too.

boyfriend just minjamkan greys antomy..season 1-3 HEHEHE except, i havent had time to actually sit and have some one on one time with the tv. which.. makes me wonder if i can actually finish these...

highlights of the month!

- i actually flew off a banana boat. HEHE i was riding with one hand and i think i was a littleee too high on adrenaline, and the boat went faster, then my other hand slipped off the handle and i literally flew backk, passing the boat hahaha although i gotta say, that was one of the happiest state ive been. i guess there's some truth in that it feels good to let go.

..ANYWAYY..

- its def been a beachy month coz if im not mistaken, i went every weekend. so i complainnn that ive gone past africaa with the sun shinINNNN DOWN ON MEHH, but who can say no to the beach. when u were stuck on a fucking cold country for a while now. i dont mean to offend, just putting up a point.

anddd i gotta go. ramai orang sudah.

2008-08-03T06:14:00.000-07:00

today i woke up not feeling like it was the right side to wake up to, neither did i ever feel that there exists what people would say a right side. after a few minutes of beating my devils down, i managed to put my morning efforts to get up. way to go, my first achievement for the day! then i take that feel good bath, and i head downstairs to the dining room, sitting down on what seemed like a 'everyone was here but u weren't awake' vibe ,nonetheless i start my brunch. then from a text or an msn message,i'd have two options. stay at home and do a homer, or go out. most of the time i'd take the second option.

sorry that was just a stupid post abt randomly writing a novel HAHA i usually have these instances to write. but it would only last the minute i take my pen down or pause. which was exactly what happened after someone nudged me on msn. ok boring. aku nada cerita. bye

2008-07-14T03:50:00.000-07:00

oh one thing i remember abt beijing was when we went to this halal restaurant. we wanted to order fried chicken, so i said 'one fried chicken' and after a few minutes all of us were probably waiting for the fried chicken because thats whats left thats not on the table. then comes the waiter, holding this plate and puts it on the table. i had my eager 'chicken!!' face on and then voila! it was liteally just one piece of fried chicken! hahha imagine the look on my face! gila chali eh.ive never experienced that.

bah.

2008-07-06T11:13:00.000-07:00

few bands worth mentioning are the blackout, fightstar, red jumpsuit apparatus and we the kings. and im pretty sure my sister would love to go since cute is what we aim for and boys like girls were there too =p hmm what else. going to jalan soon. just wanted to update sekajap =p bah

so ah.

I DONT KNOW WHAT TO BLOG ABOUT.

this is stupid.

im thinking of starting to post vidoes. but not a video blog coz i think its pretty funny ur talking to the camera. thats like talking to a tree or a wall. but then who knows, i might just be human and a hypocrite. who knows one day u might see me telling the wall about my day or this funny thing that happened to me.eh i mean the camera.

i was thinking of posting the songs i play with my yamaha mulia or mary oon. yes i name my instruments. although i havent played them in a while. oh but, i dont really wanna serenade people HAHA.

heck, this is hard. but i'll think about it. tralalala

PS i miss everyone in brunei.

2008-04-06T12:38:00.000-07:00

right now i'm thinking if i know anyone from the year 1940. hahah. i am in need of that comic!!!!!!!!!!!!! sheesh. rupanya ada another comic store di sini. whatever. ah.. thats the name of the store. i thought it was pretty creative. no i lied,i thought it was pretty stupid. but the salesman made up for it. he gave me a discount and we talked about george perez, yeah the conversation got that hot. but whats funny was when i was first talked to him, he gave me this look. like i was wonderwoman. ok fine. he gave this look like i was an alien that could speak english. ok ok asian. but yeah. think we get that a lot over here...

saya: 'hello!'
durang: '*gasps* she spoke..!'
*pressure...must.. follow ...stereotype*
saya: 'i meann... herrroww!!'
durang: 'oh my mistake!'

ok so i exaggerate. but thats why i like southpark. they exaggerate, yet they have a good point. i thought that concept was pretty sexy.

so yeah, im gonna do this from now on. i will blog every...what day is it today...well every this day..haha

lets just summarise this week then. my essays werent good. totally antam, never antam-ed so bad in my life =( and our easter's just started. today it snowed! hahaa spring wah. snowing. i would post some pictuers now but my laptop's being a bitch. so aku hilang mood jua kan blog. ladieda. bah i'll sambung esok, pretty tired.

2008-03-09T16:08:00.000-07:00

hmm. what am i suppose to blog about.

ahh my cynic is telling me that u want to read something bad that happened to me. hmm. i totally screwed up my essays which were assessed.oooohhhh and ah.. i didnt sleep coz i had to stay up for the train back to kent. ooooooh. so heyy, there's something to feel good about. someone suffering! ho ho ho. as long as we feel good! ho ho ho. fuck i hate that. i know maybe im not one to complain that much, but i'd figure people can think. its scary how im starting to hate big events and people. i swear im starting to love the wall more. ANYWAY hahah i hate being cynical. but i dont wanna be vulnerable. and i hate my ego and i hate this blog. hahha ok bah. i need rest.

2008-02-27T12:21:00.000-08:00

so it all started as a joke.

'what time is it far?'
'ITS SUMMER TIMEEE!'

'yeah...its har.....rrrrrrrrrdddd to believeeee~'

'oh my god! is that zac effron? i love him!'

and bringing high school musical 1 and 2 to UK.

2008-02-25T11:37:00.000-08:00

just today. i woke up in such a good mood.

and it was funny. not just coz i woke up in a good mood but coz today i had a mcq test to do. and yet. i woke up, non hesistant of even snoozing the alarm clock(s) [yes i have 3 due to my lack of willpower to get out of bed] and there i was, printing out my assessment to pass up to my department. When i got out of the house, i could smell that freshness..almost like fresh grass..or almost like that 5am smell i used to love back at home. and i could see that spring is close. it was almost like i had a song that went along with my walking to the uni. (Im walking on sunshine~) and it felt so nice to have a big smiley on ur forehead, and at the same time not know what exactly was the cause of it. and so i sat for the mcq test, and somehow carefree that i've missed quite a few lectures for it. but the smiley was one big supercalifragilitiespialidociously positive influence that i couldnt care less. And thats how my day went. i was happy without a reason. .until 4pm. when results cme out. and i only got 5 out 0f 15 right. so come to think abt it. there'll always be something wrong, with something that feels so right. eh?

2008-02-24T10:12:00.000-08:00
