Revive the long gone

Posted in viviendo una vida on May 27, 2011 by Nina Lareina Adam

I was daydreaming when I suddenly remembered this page where most of my memories were being written. All the years that went by, I smiled silly as i read each post. I’m glad to have my years spent with the same bunch of people who are always there for me, the way I am.

Not much in my hands

Posted in viviendo una vida on May 1, 2010 by Nina Lareina Adam

WOO! 2 months of not updating this space.  Hello, MAY 2010! I’ve been really busy, eh.

Ever since i started working, i haven’t had much time in my hands! Sometimes, i work late and by the time i got home, i’m more interested to jump on my bed than to do anything else. Often, i’ll be at the office skipping dinner and by the time i got home from work i would be so damn hungry! Dinner was like supper and after a meal, i’ll usually fall asleep on a full stomach. So, don’t be surprised if you see me getting fat! I haven’t been exercising too! Urgh. However, working late has its own benefits. When i looked at my pay slip the other day, i like what i see. I guess, that’s the only advantage. Its going to be 2 months. 2 months working a full-time job. Wow, that fast? Yes, and with a hectic schedule, i find myself gliding through time at a very fast pace.

17 more days to graduation and i can’t wait to meet the greatest people i know in school. I miss school. Those times when i would come an hour late for a 2 hour lecture, sleeping throughout lecture and waking up with an empty brain, sitting around the food court laughing my heart out with friends and not forgetting those late nights in school doing projects. Thinking about school made me miss school even more. No matter how much i used to hate the exams and the amount of projects given, i went through it with a group of people whom made it all easier.

I’m excited. I’m opening a new chapter, with a whole new beginning. Wish me luck :)

The process

When choosing a pair of sandals

You know, i’m really choosy when it comes to choosing a pair of sandals. Its like equivalent to choosing a boyfriend. It has to feel right and it has to be THE ONE i want. Therefore, the process of getting the right pair of sandals  can take months. I’ve got to really like it. If there is any slight doubt of whether it would look good on my feet, i will pass it. If i do buy it, i may end up not wearing it.

So shit, i need a new pair of sandals right now.

Take them back

I bought a box of fake eyelashes. Contradicting i know, because i once said, “I will never put on fake eyelashes. Very superficial.” And now, with a box in my hand, i want to use them!

I feel it too

Can you imagine, i spent the entire day watching Gossip Girl. From one episode to another. I’m unemployed and i’m a TV series addict. Right now, I’m elated. Because Gossip Girl had a great ending. They’re in love. I feel in love too. Talk about TV influence! haha.

All over.

Busy bee

Posted in viviendo una vida on September 17, 2009 by Nina Lareina Adam

I’ve been a busy bee. Spent the entire day cleaning and scrubbing the toilet floor. My toilet bowl is sparking clean. Planning to do some painting and probably drill holes into the concrete wall.

I’m going to get dirty tomorrow!

In the midst of the busy preparations to usher in Hari Raya Aidilfitri, i went to work. I have to at least earn something during the holidays other than be a lazy ass watching TV series everyday.

Was feeling really hungry during break time. Tried the new SPICY BK CHICK’N CRISP burger. Delicious, i tell you!

For now

Posted in viviendo una vida on September 14, 2009 by Nina Lareina Adam

I’ve started cleaning my room. Spent hours decluttering the mess on the floor and  the wardrobe is nicely packed (for now). I had a  terrible headache putting everything into place.

Please remind me how tiring it can get to clean a wrecked room so that i wont try to mess  it up again!

“Pick me, Choose Me, Love Me”

I know i’ve been going on for days about Grey’s Anatomy. Its addictive. I’m finally done with the last episode of Season 5. I’m glad they are FINALLY married. And you know, i cried while watching some of the episodes. I can feel my heart aching with sadness at some point. Its depressing! I’ve been sleeping at 7:00 AM and waking up at 1:00 PM the last few days. Season 6 premiere is on 24th September! I can’t wait for it to start. I’m dying to know what happens next.

Same thing i did

Posted in viviendo una vida on August 31, 2009 by Nina Lareina Adam

I’m glad that exams are SO OVER! Now, back to Grey’s Anatomy.

I simply love the show! It can be funny and depressing at the same time. What’s there not to love about Meredith and Derek? Oh, did i mention that Derek’s smile makes me tilt my head to the left and go “Awww”. So dreamy! My favourite episode is the one with Meredith’s snoring problem!


Day 1:
“Morning.”
You watching me sleep? What are you? Some kind of weirdo who watch his woman sleep?”

Day 2:
“You watching me sleep again?”
“You look cute when you sleep?”
“Yeah don’t you sleep? Why are you always up before the alarm?
“Oh, I’m a light sleeper. Its no big deal.”
“So, something woke you up.”
“Its no big deal. Its just that.. you snore a little.”
“WHAT? I DO NOT!”
Yes you do. I love it i find it charming that such a big noise can come from such a little person.”
Do you know whats not charming?”
“What?”
“Your morning breath.”
“I’m sorry, WHAT?”
“I’m just saying… Seeing that you are always up before me, you might consider brushing your teeth.”

Day 3:
“Oh, you have got to be kidding me! Where is George?”
“He spend the night at the hospital.”
“And you slept in his bed? All night? See, you are telling me that my snoring is so bad… How did you deal with it all those nights before i found out about your wife?”

“He usually sleeps on the couch, sets an alarm, gets back in bed before you wake up.”

“Yeah, dont want to hurt your feelings.”

Day 4:
“Shut it off. PLEASE!”
“Can you not snap at me?”
“I didn’t sleep much.”
“Maybe its because you were too busy shoving me every 5 minutes.”
“I wasn’t shoving you. I was nudging you”

HAHA. Exactly the same thing i’ll do when Terence snores. I’ll use my elbow to poke him. Nudge him whenever the snoring gets louder.

“I wore the nose drip.”
“Its cute. But it doesn’t work”

Day 5:

“There’s a surgery ya know. Some minor laser thing. That really helps. You should look into it”
“It has become physically impossible for me to kiss your face”
“I’m too tired to shave!”

Day 6:
Meredith gave Derek ear plugs so that he can sleep in peace.

HAHA.

Didn’t have to come school today and because i was home, i had breakfast in bed! Mum made breakfast for me & sent them to my room. So nice of her. I should count myself lucky :) And the day just gets better. While lunch was a plate of delicious mee goreng, dinner was chicken rice with crispy spicy drumlets. Everything cooked by mum. and oh, i had all kind of fruits. Banana, mango, green grapes and plum. Since its my dad’s birthday today, we had chocolate brownie cake too.  HAHA. I’m going to get fat!

Feed me

Posted in viviendo una vida on August 3, 2009 by Nina Lareina Adam

There’s something wrong with my appetite. My stomach kept growling throughout the day. Its either the medicine is making me hungry all the time or i’m really a glutton. I had more than 5 meals during the day and i still had gastric pain at night! My sister calls me a “pig” or a “fatty bom bom” now. Not forgetting to mention, 3 medication within 4 hours interval in a day made me damn drowsy. I’m supposed to do the powerpoint slides for tomorrow’s presentation but i cant get them done when i’m falling asleep all the time!

I’m hungry and sleepy at the same time. So, can i just eat in my sleep?

Some might have realised that i’ve been using the classic Nokia black and white phone for quite some time. I cant stick to one phone for very long. I’ll damage it somehow. Being jobless right now, i cant afford a new phone for myself. I needed a new phone so badly because the classic Nokia phone had limited storage space. I always get this displayed across the screen, “NO SPACE FOR NEW MESSAGES.” Well thankfully, my wishes was answered because my mum just got a new one for me!!! Its white, touch screen, a camera with a flash function and not forgetting, awesome functions!  At last, a decent phone. I feel so lucky right now :)

Thanks mummy.

Ok, i’ll try not to drop it or spoil it. If not, i’ll have use the classic Nokia black and white “NO SPACE FOR NEW MESSAGES” phone again.

SHE

Posted in viviendo una vida on July 22, 2009 by Nina Lareina Adam

I didn’t go to school today. Been coughing for almost 3 weeks now but i’m too stubborn to take any medicine. I kept believing my immune system was strong enough to fight it. Since i wasn’t getting any better, i decided to visit the doctor. After coughing for weeks,  my cough suddenly disappeared after waking up from sleep in the morning.  I panicked and thought, “What if i go to the doctor and he thinks that i am bluffing him?” I’m not being silly. Once, i went to the doctor because of menses cramp. The doctor didn’t think it was serious. So, SHE refused to give me MC for missing school. To think SHE is a SHE. She should know how it feels like having terrible menses cramp!!! Thankfully, the doctor i went to just now was really kind. He said, “Take care, dont drink cold drinks” and gave me medicine :)

Great news. I’ve got a job interview tomorrow. I’m feeling really nervous about it! Wish me luck!

Losing the title

Posted in viviendo una vida on July 21, 2009 by Nina Lareina Adam

I need a part-time job. Its about time i work my lazy ass. I need to support my expenses and i think i’m losing my ‘shopaholic’ title because i dont shop that much anymore. I’ve sent out resumes and i hope someone would call me for an interview soon! Thinking about jobs, i’m having butterflies in my stomach. Its been a while since i last worked and toiled hard for $.

In the afternoon, i created my own daily skin care regime. I ‘m willing to try it for a month and i hope it works. If it doesn’t, i’ll go the shortcut way – which is to visit the dermatologist and go for cosmetic surgery. I’m dead serious. I’m thinking of laser scar surgery or cosmetic peel. My mum recommended them and she supports me to go for one. So, i need a job badly to pay for it.

On the other hand, i hope to strike 4d or something. haha.

13 packets

Posted in escuela, viviendo una vida on July 20, 2009 by Nina Lareina Adam

I’m feeling so sleepy.

Yesterday night, i thought of getting to bed early without completing my ‘Investment Finance & Analysis’ tutorial. I had initially planned to copy from a classmate. Feeling guilty, i ended up doing the tutorial till wee hours of the morning. Well, i’m glad i did! During class, i was asked a question. Thank god i did my tutorial and managed to answer it. If i don’t answer it correctly, she’ll pick on me (like every 10 minutes) and keep asking more questions to “test” how much i know. I wouldn’t want that because i’ve been through it before. It was horrible!

During the next lesson, the lecturer gave us work to do. I’m usually a lazy ass in class. I guess the lecturer wanted to sabotage me today. She called my name and asked me to write the answer at the whiteboard. Thankfully, i did the question and the answer i wrote on the whiteboard was correct! Still, the teacher didn’t believe i actually attempt the question! She asked for my paper and even asked, “Are you sure that’s your handwriting?” Of course it was! I guess, i should be more attentive and participative in class so that i wont get picked now and then.

After school, went to collect the facial masks that i ordered online. 13 packets. I wonder why i bother to use facial masks now when in the past i dont. I’ve always hated putting so many things on my face. I feel so “polluted” with the chemicals they put in every product. But since my skin is recently like crap, i’ve been getting toner, moisturizers and facial masks to help my skin get better. I dont even own any of those in the past and i wonder how much i’ve spent on one product to another. Sadly, i dont see my skin getting any better :(

Carried away

Posted in viviendo una vida on July 15, 2009 by Nina Lareina Adam

I went to the supermarket after school. Bought oranges, canned food and a watermelon.

I took the bus and carried them all the way home.

Well, OF COURSE it was heavy!!!

Especially the watermelon. It looked as if i was carrying a bowling ball around.

Anyway, i wont be a sissy and take a cab just because i need to carry a heavy watermelon all the way home. I’m a strong girl, ok! haha.

One word

Posted in viviendo una vida on July 12, 2009 by Nina Lareina Adam

I’m so in love with high waist knee length skirt. I wore them to meet boyfriend and he said something like, “Why suddenly wear like this?

I could only think of one word to explain.

Classy

The next thing he said was, “Hmm… Ok, You look great.”

Relate it with someone.

Posted in viviendo una vida on July 4, 2009 by Nina Lareina Adam

I’m having a nasty weekend. Try to relate it with someone who match the description of each paragraph.

1) Those who don’t think twice before they speak.

2) Those who are petty. Try speaking your mind and they will temporarily ban themselves from talking to you.

3) Those who don’t understand another person’s plight. They would want things to be at their own convenience.

5) Friends who chose to label you with something you never thought they would.

6) When someone you love becomes heartless in so many ways. One classic example is making you wait by the phone all day for their call.

7) Those who quote you but cant get it right. I suggest its better to shut up and dont try to.

8) When you put the blame on someone who tried to help you.

9) When you prefer to ignore someone, but you cant because you see that particular face almost everyday.

10) Lastly, Humans are selfish. Agree with me on this.

So, tell me.  Did you have anyone in mind?

Naked

Posted in viviendo una vida on July 3, 2009 by Nina Lareina Adam

I’m having a swollen upper eyelid. No eyeliner, mascara or eyeshadow for the next few days. Oh crap. My eyes feel so…

naked.

Affected

Posted in viviendo una vida on June 26, 2009 by Nina Lareina Adam

At times, i would sleep with the radio on. Today, i woke up to the sound of Michael Jackson’s song. I was sleepy and wanted to head back to sleep. But, the news which came after the song left me stunned. I laid glued on my bed and was confronted with feelings of sadness instantaneously. I couldn’t believe my ears when i heard about  Michael Jackson’s passing.

I spent the rest of the day watching Michael Jackson on You Tube. Gosh, i love his astounding dance moves in Thriller.

While i was at it, i also found the Indian version to Michael Jackson’s Thriller?


As they played his songs all day, i remembered growing up listening to his music on the radio. As i watched the tribute made to him on TV, i could feel tears welling up in my eyes. I was affected. As though i lost something which means a lot to me in my life. He is a legend. A talent to remember.

Rest In Peace, Michael Jackson.

What got into me?

Posted in viviendo una vida on June 17, 2009 by Nina Lareina Adam

I’m sure i am not Cinderella today. But i had the motivation to clean!

I dumped my stinky bedsheets into the washing machine, changed the curtains, swept my room and even cleaned the toilet. Yes, i repeat. I cleaned the toilet. I scrubbed the tiles and toilet bowl. I dont know what got into me. I wasn’t lazy to do housework.

Pucker face

Posted in viviendo una vida on June 16, 2009 by Nina Lareina Adam

Went grocery shopping again. This time round, with my sister. Bought oranges, lemons, a can of baked beans (again) and cereals.

Know what i have in mind for breakfast tomorrow? Milk and cereals! I’m excited to have those! I know, it is normal to have cereals for breakfast. Nothing special. But its been a looooong time since i last had them for breakfast. So, it is something different for me.

Made fresh orange juice in the afternoon! I enjoyed throwing fruits into the fruit blender. I can even waste the whole day thinking about new kinds of fruit juice to ‘invent’. I’ve came up with these and by far are my favourites! It gives you a pucker face but beneficial to health.

1) 1 orange + 1 lemon + 1 green apple

2) Strawberries + 1 orange + Half a lemon

Do share with me if you can think of any great combination. I would want to try and dump them into the fruit blender!

Easy as it is

Posted in viviendo una vida on June 15, 2009 by Nina Lareina Adam

I’m stuck at home. No one cooked. I was hungry.

Went grocery shopping in the afternoon and walked back with a handful of plastic bags. I was carrying a can of soup, baked beans, a 1.5 litre of bottled distilled water, oranges, green apples, lemons and toiletries. Oh boy, they were heavy.

I wanted to cook an easy meal because i was starving already.  Eventually, i made cream mushroom pasta. Its easy. All you need is some pasta and a can of Campbell cream mushroom soup. Boil the pasta and cook the cream mushroom soup. When everything is done, pour the soup over the pasta. You can even sprinkle some shredded cheese on it if you want to. Tada! It is that simple and delicious!

Dinner was weird because it was more like breakfast. I had toast with margarine, baked beans and scrambled eggs. It doesn’t matter. I was more concerned about satisfying my hungry stomach. haha.

Now, i’m thinking about tomorrow. What should i cook tomorrow?

When everything is fresh

Posted in viviendo una vida on June 13, 2009 by Nina Lareina Adam

Didnt return home last night. I was out having good food and fresh air. A comfy place to sleep and nice bolster. Was back only in the afternoon.

What a day

Posted in viviendo una vida on June 9, 2009 by Nina Lareina Adam

I thought a two-year journal about us would be a great anniversary gift for him. I’m such a perfectionist that i keep tearing the page whenever i wrote a word wrongly. When i saw number of pages left in the book was greatly reduced, I gave up.

What a day.
