back in the day..
a friend forwarded this to me.
OH. MY. GOD. could i look more geekier??? hehehehehe.. i’m pretty sure this photo is candid. i don’t even remember taking this photo. but it sure looked like i was happy. 
btw, as if you needed help, i’m the one with the glasses..
i wanna be a princess..
ok. it has become too big of an issue for to me to ignore. a lot of people have left comments. me and atul even had a lenghty conversation about it!! so, people, tell me this:
which disney princess are you? 
so let’s do this properly.. 
there are the main eight princess: Snow White, Cinderella, Aurora, Ariel, Belle, Jasmine, Pocahontas and Mulan. However, in 2007, Disney announced a new princess will be added:Princess Tiana from thier 2009 animated feature The Princess and the Frog, will become the first African American princess to join the ranks if Disney’s Princesses. (i didn’t know that until i wiki-ed Disney’s Princesses. hehehe.) which also means Alice from Alice in Wonderland is not a princess. which begs the question: ‘what is she then? just a mere Disney character?’ (sorry, toots. didn’t know.)
so here it is. a summary of the Princesses (which i got from their official website: here :p)
a beautiful young Princess who, in her efforts to escape the Evil Queen, befriends the seven drawfs. Her gentle ways and trust allows the Evil Queen to trick her. But her pure, lovable nature also wins her the friendship of the forest animals, the Seven Drawfs and -of course- the handsome prince. *snort* she is SOO the opposite of eyan! lovable nature? gentle ways? mwahahahahaha.. eyan is independant and strong. she doesn’t need the dwarfs.. but i can imagine her ordering the ‘dwarfs’ (dd and kaer) around. oh, and question. does the Evil Queen even have a name?? i mean, don’t you think its cruel for disney to label the stepmom as just ‘Evil Queen’? hehehehe.. although, granted, some people deserves it..
although gentle and soft spoken, Cinderella has a keen, intelligent sense of humor, which she widely keeps hidden from her cruel Stepmother and jealous Stepsisters. Finding delight in her tiny animals friends, able to sing as she works, Cinderella had true dignity. Despite moments of heartbreak and disappointment, Cinderella holds onto her hopes until goodness and beauty are rewarded and dreams that she dreamed do come true. …….ok. :ugh: that is just waay to sweet for my cynical soul. i mean, don’t get me wrong. i’m all for happiness and ‘dreams do come true’ but come onn.. then again, it is disney. hehehe..
raised under the protective eyes of the fairies, Flora, Fauna and Merryweather. Aurora is a gentle, loving and thoughtful girl. But when she has a chance meeting with Prince Phillip in the woods, her desire for romance causes her to ignore the fairies’ warning about strangers. soon after, she learns the truth about her birth and her life turns into turmoil. By the time Sleeping Beauty is awakened from her slumber by her prince, she has been transformed from a sheltered girl into a mature young woman ready to become a bride. i didn’t know that about Aurora. i remember reading the story book when i was a kid and still living in a flat. i wasn’t impressed. hehehe. i suppose i can relate to her. anything for romance. :p but, is it just me, or is the last sentence a bit disturbing? :s
Headstrong Ariel means to follow the rules, but rarely suceeds. like many teenagers, Ariels does not feel ‘understood’ and is forever trying to make her friends, especially her father, see things her way. Feisty Ariel has a mind of her own, and it’s full with romantic dreams about the world above the sea and its inhabitants. she a bit naive and sure that the human world is a happy place. ok, as a kid, Ariel was the princess that i really relate to. wanting to adventurous (i never was, but the want was there. :p ) and explore. and the fact that Prince Eric was hot kinda helped. hehehe..
Belle is as lovely as her name implies, but her natural unaffected beauty is far more than skin deep.An intelligent avid reader, Belle yearns for faraway places and exciting adventures. She’s a loyal, loving daughter and when the beast finally wins her trust, she gives him all her kindness and patience, and then realizes she also has given him her heart. ….again, gag. hehehe.. btw, toots, she does remind me of u. hahaha.. you have the same quality. maybe you SHOULD be Belle. :p
An exotic, fiery beauty, Jasmine doesn’t want much - just to marry for love and to experience life outside the palace. A strong independant young woman, she’s ready for some adventure and is quite capable of taking matters into her own hands, rejecting unsuitable suitors and sneaking off into the market place alone. She is my favourite princess!! God, how i used to watch her over and over again!! she is exactly who i wanted to be. a princess who has everything she wants and gets those that she couldn’t easily have. she had the courage that i was lacking then.
The beautiful daughter of Chief Powhatan is a playful freespirited young woman who knows every tree, waterfall and wild creature in her forest home. With a name that means ‘Little Mischief’, Pocahontas love adventure and excitement. her curiosity and independence make her a strong girl whose passionate spirit touches and changes all who know her. to me, she’s just an average princess. mcm, ‘eh.’ and thats it. i wasn’t too excited about it when it came out.
Although Mulan is as lovely as a blossom, she can’t seem to behave like the gentle daughter she is supposed to be. In fact, she is quite the tomboy, whose spirits lead her into situations that defy the trditions of her society. She loves her family, but her behaviour risks bringing dishonour to her family. lesseeee.. hmmm.. i dunno. she doesn’t remind me of anyone i know. so.. yea.. who wants to be mulan? hehe..
ok. i tried to be as brief as possible. fyi, this post took me longer than i thought. i actually spent time to do some research. :p hehehe. i realised Aurora is not as blah as i thought she was. and that i see myself in both ariel and jasmine. *prasan* oh! oh! and there’s wedding dresses designed by Disney! 
dreams do come true~
so tell me people, which one of these princesses resembles you the most? and which one of them do you want to be?
eye candy.. hehehe..
isn’t he H-A-W-T??? i completely forgot about him!! back in 1998, (bulih?? 10 years ago, when i was young and dinosaurs were still roaming) while waiting for the pmb results to come out, i decided to stay at home. i mean, bahapa jua? the big exam of the year was over and done with. besides, none of my friends were coming. hehehe. so there,i was, at home & bored, when i tuned in to HBO. ada tia this new movie: dance with me. starring Chayanne and Vanessa Williams. *sigh* i feel hard for the lead actor. and since i was more kuno then i was now (B & atul,please refrain from commenting, i just know both of you have something to say) and there weren’t such things as wireless connection (not in my area, anyway), all i knew about the oh-so-dreamy guy was his name (chayanne *deep sigh*) and the fact that he was a huge star in latin america.
so, anyways, i went out shopping with the family today (ooh! lunch with Cuaji and family. hehehe.. fuuun! he’s the outgoing uncle.. ) then had dinner at escapade with B and dd. we decided to stop by at Joey Jo in qlap when i saw the dvd!! i was like, ‘waaaaaaah!! klasssik laah!!’. and yes,i bought it. after watching it, i googled him. *giggling like an annoying schoolgirl* turns out, he was born in 1971. too old for me. and it seems like he is happily married with two kids. *sad sigh* hehe, i know i’m acting like i have a shot but one can dream, no? :p
i think i’ve done enough gushing for one nite. hehehe.
*deepest sigh* be still my heart..
a short walk down memory lane..
been busy lately. graduation is just around the corner and the khatam ceremony is tonite. (fyi, khatam ceremony = usually held after we have completed reading the whole Quran.) we had a rehearsal (i like the malay version of rehearsal: raptai. it sound so.. funny. rap-taaai, rrrrraaaap-taaaaiiiiii… hehe.. apakan?) this morning. after that me, bo and mizi had some errands to do. after everything was done, we decided to have lunch. iatahkan during lunch, kami terkenangkan zaman ubd.
its amazing how 4 years can pass by so easily. we mostly talked about the exam times. it was the lastest exam that we went all out. how we would stay at ubd ’til the wee hours in the morning, cramming for the upcoming exams. kira case terpaksa jua wah. we HAD to study because exams was coming and we didn’t want to fail/repeat. the latest i went home was at 1am. which was nothing when compared to mizi, who went home around 4am eventhough we had exam 5 hours later.
haha. remember waking up around 8-9, picking up bo and then drive to ubd. i woke up early because it usually take me an hour just to get the mood to study. haha. another bad thing about me is that i get distracted easily. VERY easily. i swear to god, i was concentrating on solving this equation but a cat passed by (i was outside, sal…. its either it was too noisy/cold inside. either one.. ) and i went “oooooo… a cat…” then i forgot the fomula!! it wasn’t actually the best time for my bimboness to shine but it did!! sigh…. then there would be times where we would have lunch/dinner together then study again. i miss that.
- “ok, after we eat, i’m REALLY gonna study. i HAVE to study.” (procrastinating is common during this time..)
- “thats it. i give up. i can’t study anymore.”
- (after looking at someone who is still studying) “……crap. how do you this question?”
- “i don’t get it!!”
- “aku mental….”
- “eh?? apakan….?” (after realising we’re using the wrong formula.)
- “rehat ku kajap…”
hehe.. those are just a few of the normal things you would hear when we would study together. theres always a pattern: we arrive, take our books/notes out, talk to each other and would start to study an hour later. usually an hour after studying, we’d go for a 2-3 hour lunch. go back to uni. another half hour to start studying. its usually in the afternoon where we’d be really quiet and study with full concentration. when night comes, we’d started to get tired but didn’t wnat to stop ’cause we were on a roll. but when we do take a break, its usually another 2-3 hours. trying to start studying at night again was hard. i mean, you’ve been studying for most of the afternoon. capturing the mood again is just so tiring. so, usually it takes another 2 hours to start studying again. so it’ll be around 8/9pm where we’ll be quietly studying and revising in our own corners. i’m usually done by 10-11pm. i have curfew. hahaha. inda bisai jua wah. bini2 balik akhir2. :p there was a time when the tension and stress level was soo high that we decided to go to the beach before an exam. haha.
enjoying the soothing sound of the beach..
me and waz.. not letting the stress of exams get to us..
sigh. those were the days. i don’t miss the studying, cramming and panicked feeling, but i do miss the fun and hanging out in between.
