on! on!

I am a daughter of a Hasher..or better known as the Hash House Harriers. They are a bunch of drinking men who has a problem with running..:P

As far as I can remember, my babah has always been a Hare (or a Tortoise..the break the group into 2..you're either a Hare or a Tortoise based on the Hare and Tortoise folk story) and goes by the name of Mad Capt. Mad I dunno why but Capt because my dad was in the army and was a Captain when he left the service. If you think his nickname is funny..there are others in the group who goes by more obscene names..:P

So he always goes for his Monday run. Whatever we wanted to do or go back then, we can go any day EXCEPT Monday..coz that's when he goes for his run. He never misses it for ANYTHING..(but he seems to be missing SOME of his Monday runs if ever I'm in town nowadays..) And they always celebrate their HHH Family Day on every 1st of May. I never missed the family day..up til I started Uni and my job at Starbucks. Coz Public Holidays meant triple-pay at work...Now I secretly wished I didn't. HHH Family days are always fun...the treasure hunt, the games (both for kids and adults) and the ever delicious BBQ..(that was how I learnt to make my yummy BBQ Lamb..)

I remember once..I was maybe 9 or 10 years old then. Mama woke us up early that day coz all of us were going to see Babah go for his annual run at Taman Pertanian in Kuantan. So when we got there, I was half asleep and Babah asked me "Adik nak lari jugak tak? Ikut Babah.." and groggy lil me asked.."Jauh ke?"

"Tak jauh...dalam 3km je.."

Trusting my dad..I said ok.

3km MY FOOT!!!! It was a 10km RUN!!!

But I finished it..I even made the 13th or 16th place for the women's category. I cried my heart out due to exhaustion when I reached the finish line..but I MADE IT! Mind you..I was only 9 or 10 years old that time with no training whatsoever!

So this year, when I heard about all the excitement of my friends doing the Penang Bridge Run..I suddenly thought to myself.."Why not?" Maybe I should try next year, after the baby arrives and all that. Maybe IF I can train in time...Why the heck not kan?

I called Babah up naturally, being the runner in the family and all..and he said "Can...But you have to start training now laa..You're so fat now!"

So much for optimism from my Babah huh....

Don't think I can repeat my GLORY when I was 10 years old....or maybe I can. Well, we'll just have to wait next year and see la..I'd prolly take baby steps and start with half-marathons or something..

*tetibe semalam semangat and perasaan berani tak bertempat menusuk kalbu. Siap rasa berani nak amik lesen diving lagi...:P..semangat je tu...betul2 berani ke tak..tatau laaa!*

Lost Art: Snail Mail

One of my favorite moments when I was in boarding school before was the letters I used to receive. Either from my pen-pal (a subtle way of saying boys..:P) or even from my parents who'd send me a postcard from wherever they are or sometimes just a letter to say hello (and send me money of course..:P) Back in the days, we didn't have the convenience of a handphone or email or even facebook.

But I like the old ways...I love reading hand-written letters addressed to me (although sometimes I could barely understand what my dad scribbles on his postcards..His smses are no better..:P) In fact ALL my friends used to enjoy the letters I received from this particular boy who would write to me once a week..pages and pages long..Nothing beats the personalization of the letter..he would sometimes be very creative and cut out letters from the magazine to spell my name out or sometime when he's REALLY in the mood, the whole letter would be done that way.

Hand made cards, pictures, little trinkets in the envelope...I miss receiving those. It was also sort of like a tradition for my school girls to send notes to each other telling of their daily activities or whatever it is they wish to share.

I feel with the new technologies nowadays, letter writing will soon be a lost art. Even blogging is killing another art actually, journal writing. I used to keep one which I hand-write..but that will be another story.

So in my effort in preserving this art, since it's Ramadhan now, I am motivated to send a PROPER Hari Raya card to all of my friends this year.. VIA SNAIL MAIL! And I don't care if you live next door to me. I'm making that effort. But I will need your help..please email me your addresses so that I can do so or send me a message in Facebook.

With handphones nowadays we don't bother to keep friend's home addresses anymore.

And this invitation does not only stop at my friends. Anyone who comes across this post can email me their addresses to nsyahira@gmail.com

And if you feel the way that I do, why don't you take baby steps and send a card to your parents or bestfriend this year instead of those impersonal smses that we do that jammed up the phone lines every eve of holidays.

So come on...what are you waiting for! Send me those addresses!!

*Wouldn't it be nice to receive a PROPER PERSONALIZED letter in your mailbox instead of just bills??*

Update!

This is how serious I am. Ni kad raya untuk Jime sbb dia request nak kad handmade walaupun aku cakap kualiti budak tadika..hahaha!Jime..esok aku pos!!!!

Old Skool

Di kala semua orang tergila-gilakan henset 3g dan pelbagai..aku telah mendapat sms berbunyi

"akak, u punya phone sula siap..ini malam boleh kasi angkat"

Yeay!phone nokia 8310 ku sudah siap! I loike! Tetapi sony ericsson w910i tetap buah hati utama ku. Tanpanya, tak mungkin aku boleh mobile blog..8310 tu utk line office je.

Rakan-rakan, sila layan sms aku yeah! Ini adalah semata-mata kerana saya hendak menerima sms pada phone oldskool ini! (dem..am i losing my marbles for obsessing this phone??hahah!)

Kenapa saya suka phone ni?

Ni sume gara-gara trauma yang telah melanda saya. Dulu saya pernah memiliki phone sebegini. Time tu Nokia 8310 baru je keluar. Kira grand laaa pakai phone ni time tu sbb ini adalah phone yang first skali lampu dia kaler putih. Saya siap tukar housing kaler kuning sbb itu kaler fevret saya.

wahhh....time naik lrt rasa cam grand je dengar radio pakai henset (time tu mp3 tak berleluasa lagi..pastu naik lrt je la..kate struggling student) Saya pergi ke KLCC. Niat nak lepak Kinokuniya bace Harry Potter sampai habis (seriously ppl..I did finish reading ALL Harry Potter Books at Kinokuniya..I never purchased any! Until my 26th birthday, suami bought the whole set for me..:))

Time tengah syok duduk atas lantai kat children's section membaca Harry Potter sambil bersandar kat rak buku, saya terdengar buku terjatuh dibelakang saya. Menoleh ke belakang..takde orang..time tu..henset kesayangan saya letak bawah peha. Masa toleh belakang saya angkat kaki sikit. Dan bila saya kembali ke posisi sedia kala..........

Nokia 8310 kuningku sudah hilang.....

Sejak hari itu, saya selalu rindu kepada phone ini (dan sentiasa cuak tentang harta benda saya apabila berada di KLCC) Sehinggalah saya terjumpa phone ini diantara harta karun suami yang berlambak kat rumah tu. Kini ia sudah kembali...siap di baiki dan ditukar bateri..cuma tak jumpe housing kuning je. Nnt saya nak cari.

*untung suami dapat isteri mcm saya..bini org lain mintak e71..saya bahagia dgn 8310 yang oto on ini*

The Elements

My nephew recently introduced me to Picnik. This unsavvy techie aunt of his has always wanted to edit her pics but is sooooooooooooo unsavvy that she's never been able to do what she always wanted to do.

And this is my first masterpiece..:P

Thank you Daniyal (he is on FB..OMG..the age gap is catching up but my line is getting shorter!!) To those of you who are 'dummies' like me when editing pictures, check out the webbie. It's SOOOO easy because if a 'dummy' like me can do it..anyone can do it too..

Looking at my first masterpiece..lead me to my second masterpiece and missing my uni days..The Levi's ad that I posted is a favorite pic of me, sopi, beeps and erni. But these pics are also a major fave of mine.

This is what happens when 3 girls are bored with a camera phone...

hehehe..Do you guys remember this???

Now each are beautiful and intelligent women..Like we used to be beautiful, intelligent and crazy girls! Like I always like to say.."Jangan persoalkan perkara yang dilakukan masa zaman muda remaja!!" (maybe there is still a little more craziness left in us..*wink*)


*note: Erni missing in the pic coz she was not around when we were BORED out of our minds at the time this pics were taken


sigh...uni days were truly some of the best moments in my life. It was hard at times..but it was also the time I had the most FUN and created the BESTest friendships..

a big SHOUT OUT to the rest of my gurls which has made it possible in creating such amahzing memories..Ida, Elsa, Azie, Farah and Suzie..and not forgetting my one and only cik Lina-norhas..Thanks girls...

As we get older..it gets so hard to make friends like we used to. Sometimes new friends that we make are so rigid because as we get older, we tend to be more careful in what we do or how we act. With my gurls, we've had moments where it would be considered embarassing or too obscene for an adult to act..hehe..but we still do it whenever we get the chance to hang out with each other (which is tooooo few to our liking..sigh..work less girls!!we need to hang out more!!) and ALWAYS make a big scene whenever or wherever we are!! Not caring a bit what the ppl around us is thinking..(very inconsiderate..heheh..but we don't care..heheh!)

And the things we talk (or rather gossip) about! hahaha!! whoever eavesdrop when we're having our 'conversations' is doomed to feel embarassed hearing the things we say!!!heheheh!!

Farah and Elsa..2 of 3 drama queens amongst my gurls..the biggest of them all is of course Puan S..

Watch this space girls...I'll be posting more pics of us in the future...

"wey!!!jom laa get together gether weyyy!!!" *rayu hati kechil ku..*

How I Learned to Type

My father has always found it amusing that I can type faster than he does. So everytime aku balik rumah, ade je surat yang dia nak suruh aku buatkan untuk dia.

Arini dalam sesi mengeji Jime, aku teringat zaman2 baru abis sekolah dulu. Infact zaman internet baru je diperkenalkan kat sekolah aku. Aku yang sesungguhya tak cyber ni dulu, was once one of the pelopor internet kat sekolah aku.

I remember my brother installed the internet connection at home during my end-of-year school break. While waiting for my PMR results, he taught me to open my first hotmail account and chat..my first chatting experience was at alamak.com. I don't know if the site still exists or not. But that was where I first learned how to chat..

Then when I went back to school the following year, the school bought the first PC with internet connection. Dulu, dial-up tone tu was like music to my ears!hahah..aku hantu chatting..Cikgu pun tak reti guna internet so aku volunteer la nak demo. Siap attach the monitor to the projector..aku bukak website alamak.com! Cikgu pun tatau website apa tu..hahah! Imagine my whole class chatting as one person in the world wide web..kelakar gile!

Then mIRC picked up...hahahah!Those from my generation would remember the frenzy!
/join #highway -->channel sekolah aku
/nick tHiSsKiSs -->in those exact fonts! so those who knows me from back then remembers thisskiss

Gile addicted!!!My school advanced from having just one pc with internet to a whole lab of PCs equipped with internet. So apalagas....asal prep je terperuk kat lab PC, weekend kalau tak pegi outing..kat lab PC..

Pros and Cons of chatting?hahah..banyak..

Pros..
- aku boleh type laju dari siput...:P
- met boys (i was from an all girls school ok!)
- made loadsa friends including those yang tolong time nak SPM and have some who are still friends til now. made my first few days in Uni bearable..altho not familiar with their faces (sbb jumpe time chatting je) but it was comforting to knw that it was someone I used to chat with.

Cons..
- the weirdos online
- blind dates..:P
- menjadikan aku yang memang dah pemalas ni makin MALAS..nak chatting aje..

Skarang ni tgh cuba nak ingat nama channel that was frequented by SBPians..a few channels yang aku ingat are
#tess - channel yang admin nya Jime yang asal usul pun budak STAR la wey! :P *aler..defensive laa lu jime!:P*
#yutloy - budak MCKK
#143 - budak STF kot...
and the general chatrooms..#mamak and #kampung
and kalo nak hepp sikit #arangos -banyak bebudak Damansara Jaya kot...tah.tapi bukan SBP la.

Sekarang dah tak layan chatrooms..dok melayan member2 aku kat YM ni pun dah cukup.

*a/s/l anyone?*

What Kids Today Are Missing Out..

Was reading Elsa's blog about how kids nowadays are spoilt..but mainly because of the parents for giving in to the kid's whims and demands..I have to agree with Elsa. When we were kids..generally we didn't have it easy.

Was hanging out with a couple of friends yesterday and reminiscing time kecik2 dulu. The games we used to play..Selipar 3, Police & Thief (Police & Thief..1,2 jaga..Polis mati pencuri jaga!) Teng-teng, Kad tepuk, Bola chap..sigh..it was sooo much fun! And it kinda made us all wonder how did we manage to coordinate soo many people without handphones..

"Wey..esok kita kumpul kol 5..Sape lambat jadi polis!"

Time tu takde sape nak jadi polis..sbb tak bole nak ngelak..menjadi org yang kene kejar orang..gile tak best..pastu bile dah nak tangkap je Pencuri..ngam2 dia cakap "Chup twit!" Pastu selamber dia gi safekan member2 dia yang aku dah kurung dalam bulatan yang di lukis kat atas tanah...Penat tau!

Kalau main selipar 3..pakai selipar Bata yang kaler Biru tu. Pastu utk piramid pakai selipar Tat Sing sbb keras. Kalo selipar Tat Sing dipakai untuk lempar kat orang..nescaya mencari nahas!

"Wey! Jangan baling atas pinggang! Lagi tinggi dari pinggang tak kira mati!!" pastu lari bertempiaran...

Tu permainan co-ed..kalo perempuan bersama perempuan..kami suka main Zero Point..Jaguh lompat tinggi kami semua time tu ok..tapi benci bile budak laki datang kaco sbb nak curi getah kitorg utk diorg main permainan getah mereka *ada sedikit unsur judi di situ!haha!*

Tapi yang aku paling ingat..main Kad Tepuk dgn abang aku...selalu kene tipu..sbb saya tak pandai tepuk satu tangan..kesian tangan gebu ni merah2 tepuk lantai tapi kad tak terbalik jugak. Abang siap kasi can.."Takpe dik..ko tepuk pakai 2 tangan..aku kasi can..aku tepuk satu tangan je ok" Cis! Dia berani aaa cakap cemtu...hustler!Tiga suku collection kad tepuk dia berasal dari duit poket aku beli kad tepuk dari mamak jual roti petang2..sbb aku selalu kalah..tapi duit aku banyak..Pandai abang aku manipulate aku...

Bebudak arini..main PSP, PS2, PS3 dan segala jenis video game..langsung tak explore keindahan dunia..dan sangat teruk dalam time management...

Anak aku nanti camne? Aku nak jugak dia rasa apa yang aku rasa..tapi ade geng ke dia nak main game2 yang aku dok main masa aku kecik2 dulu? Silap2 haribulan..geng2 dia sume kengkawan aku yang tak sedar diri dah tua tapi perangai cam budak kecik...

Aku dah boleh bayangkan..leader of the pack main galah panjang...suami ku yang tercinta....

*Best kan dolu-dolu?Meriah je lari sana sini...sigh..*

Kerja Di Hari Sabtu

Entahla nak cakap apa. Aku rasa kompeni aku ni buat rugi duit je suruh aku keje ari Sabtu. Bukan buat keje pun. Mengulat!

Dari pagi aku dok melayan Pet Society kat fesbuk. Komputer ofis laju! Jadi aku telah berjaya memenangi beberapa race di Pet Society!hahaha! *ni salah Puan S la menyebabkan aku terjebak dengan gejala Pet Society ni!*

Nak blog..arini takde ilham. Cuma tengah malam semalam adalah 'segelintir' member aku yang terasa dgn post aku sebelum ni lalu gi call aku ajak pi minum kopi.
AKU KEJE AA ARI SABTU! jadi tido awal! mcm sengaja je nak rub it in..sedih aku!:P

Sebenarnya tido awal sbb dah bosan. Tak tau nak buat apa. tgk TV..dah boring. Nak tgk DVD, takde mood..nak main Pet Society..laptop aku lembab macam anak haram..jadi tido la.

Arini kat ofis pun bosan. Gosip menarik ada..tapi sumber tersekat! Jauh tau sumber aku! Nuuuun di the downunder land!haha! Ko mmg terer aaa beeps..dah duduk kat benua lain pun ko masih boleh keep track gosip berlaku di Kuala Lumpur. Aku yang di Kuala Lumpur ni pun hampas...Tapi mmg dari dulu lagi aku bukan sumber gosip yang bagus. Tapi sebab aku dikelilingi oleh BANYAK 'wartawan CNN' jadi aku pun in-the-know la jugak. heheh!

Tapi bab2 gosip ni..maaf..saya tak publish di blog. Gosip adalah bahan untuk YM dan sumber sembang bersama rakan2 yang rapat. Personal maaaa....

Beeps ajak aku ke Sydney buat sesi 'hancur baldi'..aler beb..kalo Sydney tu mcm balik Kuantan..dah lama dah aku sampai. Aku takde mood 'hancur baldi' lagi..tapi mood sampingan seperti 'imbasan masa lampau berkenaan aksi2 terlampau' ade jugak!hahahaha! Sambil ber'naga' kan? ish..rindula kau!

Dah kawin ni, aktiviti kurang variety. Atau mungkin dah been-there-done-that. Nothing seems to strike my interest sangat. Or maybe my baby is making me a bit anti-social. I am SO lazy to go out at night except to go find dinner. I dunno..hibernating pun dah agak bosan juga. Feeling soo lethargic actually. Maybe coz I've been sleeping too much during my holiday..it's making me feel sangat lembab!

Back in Uni days..there were days when I did get bored. But mostly due to the fact that I was broke and unable to go anywhere but stay in my room. But there was always something to do or something going on. If i were to have the benefits that I have today (money, internet, car) I'd prolly wish for more time in the world. Now..I just wish for something interesting to do.

That reminds me..I need to shop for clothes..I can barely fit into the stuffs I have now.But I am soooo lah lazy to go shopping! Like that oso can??? Dulu takde duit pun nak shopping..skarang ada duit and KENE shopping pun tanak shopping...what have I turned into??????

Sebetulnya..takde geng shopping. Dulu kengkawan hantu shopping..takde duit so aku pun window shopping je la. Tapi bagusnya window shopping ni..membuatkan aku set target...apa barang aku mau beli..coz I'm the kind of shopper who goes into the shop..get what I want and leave..I dun like browsing thru stuffs..I let my gurlfrens do that..*sigh..missing the good 'ol days*

Ok..my takde idea post has become soo long winded!hahaha!the voice inside my head suddenly has so much to talk about. Been a while since i've let the voice in my head be heard. But i shall stop. Til I have something better to post..chalo!

*still haven't done a post on shoes I own..hahah!malas nak amik gambar..plus it'll show just how un-ladylike I am...:P I have lesser shoes than peah and shafik (ye ke?mungkin aa)!how pathetic can i be?hahahah!*

Boring New Me

Was going through my spam mails (which I mostly get from Facebook or Friendster) and I was suprised to get a notification for my old blog which I had on Friendster previously. Someone left a comment on one of my old posts (it's about a year old laa) and had caused me to re-read my old posts from that blog.

A walk down memory lane....

I was kinda surprised that I had FAR MORE interesting things to say in my old blog. It even made me think "Was that even me who wrote it?" (Just incase you're curious what my old blog is all about..click here )

Those were the days when I was constantly lost..down on my luck..broke..and basically slightly depressed. Though it doesn't entirely sound depressing, but it has a few posts that I was just fed-up with almost everything.

But somehow..the old me sounded inspiring (chewah..puji diri sendiri! But then sape lagi nak puji aku kalau tak diri sendiri kan?) I somehow sounded pretty optimistic despite the situation that I was really in. And hoooo boy...it truly was a depressing situation. I definitely sounded more interesting that what I post here in this blogsite..heheh!

My conclusion..when life gets you down..that's when you're most inspired..(no wonder there are so many artists who comes up with heartbreaking depressing music..ever wonder why an aspiring artist is ALWAYS struggling and are a junkie for emo depressing situations? Guess that's when they get their creative juices the most...)
But when you're happy and have everything going for you...you become a boring mundane person!hahah!like what I am nowadays! :P

I guess back in the days I had sooooooooo much to complain..and I had soooo much pent-up anger in me..and I had to let it out. But nowadays..honestly I have nothing to complain about. I have almost anything that I could have ever wished for..so I'm not so inspired..or passionate about anything..I'm just so very CONTENT....

Do I like being content? Yes of course...But don't get me wrong..I loved every moment of my crazy life before..both good and bad (OK..so maybe not so much on the bad stuffs) It made me who I am today..someone who appreciates the fact that the cloud has moved on and the sun is shining oh so very brightly. So i'm just soaking up all the sunshine!

I know there will be clouds in the future..but remembering who I was...and how I survived..I guess I will be okay..no matter what the situation..

Just remember that god only gives you a hand that you can handle...because if it doesn't kill you, it will only make you stronger..

*i'm so grown up!wakakakaka!*

Masihkah Kau Ingat?

Memula aku nak declare blogging war dgn Beeps. Tapi sedang dlm planning proses, aku terjumpa gambar ni. Terus lupe plan *evil* sbb tergelak tengok gambar ni.

Beeps! Masihkan kau ingat??????

Hahahahaha! Hancur baldi aku!

*perempuan bila emo..bahaya!*

Why spotlight *superstar*

Before you guys get any ideas about my previous post..I'm OK..I have my emo moments and although what I wrote is true, I don't hate my life. There are days that I wish it could be different..but in the messed-up-course I had to go through..I'm content. I think I'm a good person. Better than most but with lots of room for improvement.

On a different note..

I changed my blog name today. Have been thinking of doing so for a while now. Today I will tell you the story of how I came about with spotlight *superstar*

Spotlight
I have this friend..his name is Scott Russell. My classmate from Uni. We were pretty tight back then (he extended an extra semester just for me..so he says..papehal pun i still think that's sweet of him *smiles*) He sits next to me when we have the same class, and most of the time we are in the same group for any assignments. He sometimes calls me "Boss"..he still does til today..

So we spent a lot of time together. And NO! we were never an item! But one day, a junior(maybe..he didn't really know the person was or do you Scott?) came up to him and asked

"Tak pegi lunch dgn your gf ke today?"
"Sapa?" looking confused
"Sasha la.."

He WAS waiting to go for lunch with me that time but he didnt answer that person..he just buat donno..

So when he saw me that afternoon he told me the about the conversation..and he came to a conclusion..

"Do you noticed tak...whoever that hangs out with you will become well known in the campus.."

He wasn't pissed off that we were gossiped about, he kinda found it funny because a total stranger can come up to him and say such thing. He didn't know that he was being observed in campus.

Then Scott said

"Kau ni mcm spotlight bah! Whoever crosses paths with you becomes famous.."

I gave it a little thought and agreed...

*superstar*
Me and my girls (Beeps and Sophie laa) used to have this very bad habit during final exams. We study together a lot and by studying I mean laughing and gossiping.

So this one night..while we were seriously studying in Beeps & Sophie's room..I suddenly broke out and said..

"Aku nak jadi superstar la..walaupun takde bakat nak nyanyi atau berlakon..tapi aku nak jadi superstar..Kalau aku kawin dgn celebrity kau rasa aku boleh famous tak?"

Then we all start listing out the eligible celebrity bachelor in Malaysia...takde yang sesuai..

"Kalau aku la kan" said Beeps "Aku nak jadi penyanyi yang famous menyanyi atas pentas..alaa..macam video clip Mariah Carey Never Too Far Away tu!! Pastu ada orang baling bunga kat atas pentas..aduh! Bestnya!!!!!" dengan penuh syok sendiri...

We agreed that that was achieveable..Beeps can sing..

"Aku nak jadi perempuan cabaret..." said Sophie..
"Aku akan pakai dress merah dalam club sambil tengok live band"
"Pastu duduk macam ni" starts a sultry pose..
"Siap dgn rokok kat tangan" conjures up an imaginary cigarette..

And we all break into a laugh..Sophie is the biggest drama queen ever with the funniest imagination (which she's sometimes very serious about)..and I love her for that..

Ever since that day, I held on to the *superstar* dream. I would revisit it every final exams week. Sometimes I'd want to be Paris Hilton (being an engineering student can actually give you brain damage and make you want to become a bimbo sometimes!:P) but that's a different story..

But the truth is..

It must be my name....

You see..my full name is Nur Syahira and in arabic

Nur = Cahaya;Light --->Spotlight
Syahira = Kemasyhuran;Fame ---> *superstar*

So there you have it..

Welcome to spotlight*superstar*..the mind of the confused and misunderstood and sometimes just plain crazy....:)
