arizona tea and milk anyone?

Elysee is spending its last few days with its beloved owners. At a corner, is a box full of food which we have been living on for the past few days (Like refugees =P). No pots and pans. Just bread, fruits, instant noodles, cereal, nutella and biscuits. And of course, Arizona tea. Endless (paid) supplies of it.
So far, so good. Exams, lack of sleep, junk food, unstoppable laughter, weird jokes, emotional traumas (maybe this is just for me), they all come and go.
Meh, it's been an emotional week eh?

Man, summer's like speeding away. Oh, I almost forgot. Bravo to all of us who made it through the long summer 2 session. =p. Fighting against the tempting laziness was definitely an arduous battle. Congratulations Elysee!
Hey, i havent made it through summer 2 yet :(
STUDY!!

I'll sambung later. I'm just too excited right now. =)
kerang, ketam,
warm the cockels of heart...

move! move! move!

Yup. It's packing and cleaning day for all of us today.

The 'housewives' are on the roll again!

"Night fever, Night fever....

we know how to do it!...
Give us that night fever, night fever...
We know how to show it!"

So the girls of Elysee graduated from Dance class last night.
Decked out in our nice outfits, (you three looked wonderful btw =))
and armed with our 6 weeks worth of skill lessons,
We headed for a cozy pizza party before hitting the dance floor.

At the Regent,
we were awestrucked by the way the ballroom was decorated,
it was themed "tropical night".
Everyone else was in floral prints and what-not.
Saf was dressed in a pretty lil floral patterned skirt. =)
Maybe we should've stop and picked up a flower each to be pinned to our hairs ;)
Haha! Then again, can you imagine ballroom dancing while having to secure the flower in it's place every five minutes?
Okay, that's me being random.
There were so many couples professionally doing their thing...
twirling and swirling around the ballroom.
We weren't too bad ourselves!! ;)
The odd huge bunch of youngsters hanging around there did stood out among the crowd!
Anyway! If I dare say, Ainul, Alina, Saf and I had a great time!
Swinging to music, being waltzed away by our dance partners,
and even fake dance through a couple of dance styles! =)
I personally thought faking Polka was fun! hahah!
I'm really gonna miss this class...
Was great while it lasted.

As it all came to an end,
We bade goodnight to everyone,
and continued on our final mission of the night.....
Decked in heels, dresses, and skirts,
Ainul, Saf, and I were seen picking boxes at Walmart!
What a hilarious sight that was! =P

Oh well...
More scrubbing and boxing the next day!
Sighs...

D-Day

So tomorrow's the big day for Wenli, Ainul and Safwan :)
And perhaps other Actuaries out there, but i tak tahu la.

Wenli (surprisingly) is ber-emo-ing with emo songs. *pats head*
+ she's studying for her exam.
Ainul was watching the Terminal :) *pats head*
+ she's studying for her exam.
Safwan's studying for his exam.
hehe.

Mar's doing Calc. *pats head* I know Calc is evil Mar.
Saf is also doing Calc. But she's also ber-emo-ing, listening to the Sindarela song.
Haha.

The house is a mess.
There are boxes near the entrance.
My room's a mess too cause i've started packing.
Tan, the bed's empty cause i put your bantals and Teddy in a box already. teehee.

Starting Friday night, operation "Clean and Pack" will officially begin.
We'll be cleaning the place and i think we'll only be living on the ground floor area-ish.
Cause we've decided that we will only be using
- ONE bathroom
- ONE cooking pan
And you know, stuff like that.
Basically, the house will be totally empty by the end of this weekend.

Sedih kan? :(

One tummy-aching wednesday

Is it the more than 10 tubs of 'air sedap'
Is it the funny smelling sponge?
Is it the last day of dance classes... =(
or maybe just the start of 1 heck of a week...

Yea, all 3 of us got struck with tummy aches!
It started with Ainul dashin to the bathroom in Fin class,
and as she dashed pass me, my tummy took it as it's cue...
Back at Elysee, a tummy clutching Saf entered the door...

But 'mummy' of the day became a surperhero yesterday ;)
Saf randomly exclaimed: "i just realized I'm the oldest around here..."
so she was made 'mummy' of the day =P
and left all the mummy-ing to her...
Braving her tummy ache, which dipanaskan by Ainul's botol ;)
mummy did something superb by herself, which can't be mention for certain reasons...
but still proud of you mummy! =P

By the way, I still claim "UIUC it" is as legit as "Google it"!

Then a study party happened at Elysee!
As Ainul and I brain storm on more integrals with Safwan, while Mar and Saf did Calc-y!!
Late night,
Syauqi and Lopop brought a pizza party to Elysee..
for their 'hardworking workers' ;)
thankies much!

Wait... there was something else with this post....
ah nevermind, I blame too much integrating...

Selfish B's my new favorite term! =P
In all it's friendly meaning...

You sure it's selfish B and not B-y karma, Wenli ? hehe
On the bright side, the wheel will continue to spin and as I said, we ain't in it because we're amateurs. =)

I'm positive!

The whole K is a B thing's reserved for you dear ;)

Monday Blues

It's gonna be one busy week.

But after that, we'll party with our dance classmates.
Food and Salsa!

This weekend, do something a little more productive..
clean the house and move our stuff.
I think only then will the realization kick - we're leaving Elysee for good.
But let's not worry about things that need not be worried right now :)
Yea. Let's not worry about that because you forgot something else on that list Saf. Dark Knight! =D finally. And and, lets treat ourselves to dinner at Cravings.

Tak sabar dowh nak habis kelas :D
Tak sabar nak August. Mid August.

As my emo hormones are kicking in,

Saf, Wenli.... I love you guys so very very much. I indeed had a super awesome lovely great fantabulous summer and it's all because of having such a great company like you guys. I'm so sad that summers almost over. I don't want it to enndddddd....='(

Day, me say day-ay-ay-o

So Ezamil graced Elysee with his presence last night!

After a certain subject, brought up because of KennySia's entry,
was talked about,
we had lunch then proceeded to ColdStone. *thanks Ezamil!*
While I ♥ you Elysee, staying inside you for too long a time, makes 1 'murung'. =/
Over there, discussion of a topic which shall not be disclosed for specific reasons ensued ;)
and we start to thank that the Malay language isn't well known around the world...
Spent most of the time just hangin and some nice chillin...

Then it was BBQ at the ENgineering quad.
Music, shrimp, dance, and kick-ball (Home run!)! oh!! Bubbles... =)
*in a sing song voice

~ Raindrops keep falling on my head,
But that doesn't mean my eyes would soon be turning red,
Cryin's not for me,
Cz I'm never gonna stop the rain by complainin'
Because I'm free
Nothin's worrying me~

=)

haha. Just figured I'd write down the lyrics since you guys put 'links' on your songs. One mark to traditionalism. haha..

Tehehe! and your newly discovered
tie a yellow ribbon round the old oak tree! ;)
Sighs, I feel sooo old knowing these songs =(

What more can you ask for? :P
Walked home to Elysee while belting out tunes,
It's the Banana boat song Vs With You
We suddenly became the drunkards everyone else is cursing from their homes. ;)

Yeong came over to lepak for the night,
oh the nostalgia! Spoke of guides/scouting days and CARTOONS!!
*come on!! Lets go camping!*
We went through cartoons in the 90's, *pinky and the brain, animaniacs, sonic, tiny toons....* And Mighty Max! :)
Gosh!!! The amount of cartoons we remembered,
haha! even singing the opening theme for some!
we you-tubed them and settled with watching cartoons for the night ;)
30 minutes of 90's cartoon openings!
What a great bonding tool is was.
*I swear, I've NEVER seen Yeong laughed so hard and spoke so much*
=P

ah.. such an awesome Saturday!!
That I momentarily forgot what a hectic week awaits *gulps*

bread banana butter puding..

or maybe it should be banana bread butter puding.. (this is a reflection of how..urmm...twisted...no...urmm....demented? my brain is right now)
banana bread butter pudding sedap! :D

Anyway, Wenli (our lovely cook) plans to make bread banana butter puding tonight) yeay!!!!!

But...She's on the phone right now with someone...someone

and I officially now know that pakman is one million in chinese and yaman is ten thousand..=)..I'm sorryyyyyy if the spelling is incorrect. Wenli, go correct me quick.

And oopppsss. kantoi pulak that I was eavesdropping. Sorry Wenli. ahaha. I couldnt understand 80% of it anyway. So your secret cheekiness is safe. =p

Wednesday, July 16, 2008

Yeay, I Get To Post Something!

It's 12.12 am and everyone is still working hard on their assignments/studies.
*ok wait, ainul just turned on her back and baring on her pillow. haha*
Hey, no fair. I penattt..haha..
But still.
Hebat hebat.

Wenli's busily typing something (probably Rhet 105 related)
Mar's calculating the solutions to the questions on the (sangat tak best) MathZone.
Ainul's working on her Actuarial Science exam materials.
Saf just finished her homework and is ambitiously trying to continue on with some exercises on the (sangat tak best) MathZone.

So yeap.

Oh oh. And tan, if you're reading this..i kemas the katil :D
Like, totally betulkan cadar, put-the-pillows-and-teddy + my-stuffed-animals-on-the-side-of-the-bed-that-i-will-never-sleep-on kinda kemas.

Yes, and my cita-cita after the exam/Friday, is to bersihkan the toilet that i've been using.
Like, seriously bleach bath tub, scrub toilet toilet, bersihkan sink kinda bersih :D :D :D

*whispers*
It's 1.40am,
Saf's on her back with her left arm over her eyes, and legs slightly propped up dreaming away in Lala land
Okay, somethings shan't be publicize, it's a girls' honor code, so I shall skip Ainul's comment :P
What? what? buat muka innocent. You can just say it Wenli, that I'm simply adorable when I sleep. kan? kan? KAN? *give you a 'say it' look..
Mar's still rajinly working on MathZone... respect...
and I"m thumbing through the borrowed stack of tombs :)

Saf @ 10:42 am, July 16th:
Sadly enough..i wasnt dreaming of anything that night.
Esok EXAM! >.<
saf! Jia you!


Whoa..saf..the bed..amazing!!!! I congratulate you for a job well done..It must have been really hard for you to bring yourself to get on the bed that is THAT tidy..ahahaha.. I forgot what color font im supposed to be using so sorry guys :)
Yellow, yellow you dirty fellow =)

Heehee. Glad you like it! :D
yeah man, the first night, lepas i dah kemas the katil, i slept in the living room. haha.
TER though. i wanted to sleep on the bed :P

Study Sleepover!

Mar's here!!! to study. Yeah, we're all studying.

At the end of the day, we're all students after all. =)

haha, seriously. I baru je teringat nak post something.
Again, someone else beat me to it.
Darn it. I gotta be faster at this next time! haha

Anyways, MathZone teruk.
*notice the BM. haha, so orang 'zon matematik' tak tahu yang saya tengah tak suka cara mengajar/pembelajaran mereka.*

But yeah. Yeay for studying.
Ayuh, kita ke puncak kejayaan bersama-sama!
hahahahahahahahahaha.
:)

Yeah. Jom ke puncak kejayaan !!! ( I was almost there, almost..until I fell asleep..haha..I was still working on it in my dreams . tak tipu =p).

I hope chatting counts as usaha menuju ke tangga kejayaan as well. kan Wenli? *winks. Let's just say, it develops our communication skills kannnn..haha
Now now Ainul, that depends on what kind of kejayaan we wanna achieve. ;)

You'd never thought


that Cosmo mag will turn out to be such a great bonding tool! ;)
*At this point, I'd have to inform that the mag was a subscription by the owner of Elysee. Especially after Dr Khairul's pointers, I have to reinforce that at no point were we thinking inappropriately and seeing things we shouldn't see =P*

So we woke up to another early morning of class and made our first trip together to Grainger.
All was well! A seemingly productive day we've had.
Then took orders from subway back home for dinner and some cookies to go with! =)
As giggly girly as this sound, we spread quizes over the table and had dinner while laughing over personality, relationship, love quizes from "do you know how to flirt" to "Who do you love quiz" *Cough! Saf Cough!* WOI! apa saf saf ni? haha *sings: I don't hate you anymore...* , and "How happy are you?"
Had a great time!

Ohoh! How can we not mention the serious discussion we had this morning...
that was the 1st ever tense moment at Elysee =)
but it all turned out well! yay!

Did the "peek-a-boo" step for Night Club 2-Step today,
and now we could finally remember the name of the song that always elude us once we step out of the dance hall! Careless whisper....

P.S: SAF! Go study! :)
And I was studying!!!!!!!! had a few distractions, but still~

Seems like you beat me to writing this Wenli, I baru nak go all emo yesterday and write a post.
Yesterday was really a good Monday. =) =) =). The grainger trip turned out to be pretty productive. The sandwiches were nyummy. And thanks Wenli belanja cookie. =)

and the quizzes that we had. Kelakarnyaaaaaaaa....haha..

Have a good Tuesday guys.

Really, the days do feel long (And I love it) but the weeks and months are going by so fast. =(. two weeks lagi. ='(

I wanted to post something first too!! But the pictures wouldnt upload >.<
Oh weellllll.

And yes, the quizzes - hilarious! I shall never forget that one quiz that i did.
teehee. *sings: not ready to make nice... =P*

Ai, Wenli. Asyik menyayi je :P

Meijer!

Grocery shopping time! I malas nak tulis, so I'm gonna just post pictures. But hey, who would've thought Meijer could be a cool place to take pictures.

10.00 am - breakfast at Merry Ann's diner. =)




11.30 pm - went to MarketPlace =). Oh my God, there was a 60% sale at almost half of the stores there. Evil!

3.00 pm - grocery shopping!! (Mysteriously hot peppers *snickers*)

Saturday, July 12, 2008

I can't smile without you...

Hell yea! The song's stuck in my head,
and unfortunately(or fortunately depending on your view) my laptop's all funky,
so I can't fill Elysee with track no.8 from the CD Popular Love Songs ;)
Yes, it's from HellBoy II, which Saf and I watched today
Hehe, funny thing that show...
Johann (pronounced Yo-Hann) Krauss is just so Germanly funny!

Knowing how Elysee's occupants love their food,
and it seemingly an on-going post tradition to somehow involve food in most posts,
Saf and I had roti paratha with daging kurma, and garlic bread! Which we vigilantly watched over while being broiled in the oven...
No charcoal burnts for dinner this time around.
ah saf, i'm getting used to these dinner for 2 *wriggles eyebrow* ;)

HP 6: Half Blood Prince's trailer's coming out during the screening of Dark Knight!!
Weeeeee!

Now we're all laying in the darkly lit living room, busy with our own work.

A Walmart trip and B'fast at the diner awaits us tomorrow.
I love grocery shopping =)

The basement smells funny =(
I think Elysee's giving up on us...
Either that, or she's crying over our soon-to-be departure...
sighs...

alaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa....

Wenli, dont lah get used to your dinner for two. *sniffs =( . I missed you guys at work. In fact, every waking minute at Mezzo, I wished I was back at Elysee. Tak tipu. (ok, maybe not every waking minute =p)

Hellboy seems like a cute story. And yes, I like using 'cute' as an adjective. I've got more adjectives in mind actually, it's just that it's hard to argue with 'cute'. and I like 'cute' things.

and nooooo, Elysee should not ever ever give up on us. =(. Hopefully, those Thirsty Hippos work. *praying hard


Friday, July 11, 2008

=(

that movie scared me. =(

Take Five...

Ever heard or know the meaning of chain screams?

Saf and I had breakfast for dinner tonight!
Egg with Mushroom and cheese, beef sausage sandwich, and some waffles.
As we eagerly await Ainul's return for THE movie,
we played The Never Ending Story instead...
We're halfway on that, seems to be going good!

So you've heard of chain mails,
what about chain screams?
I swear, it was the most horrific thing ever.
One person screams, and Elysee was ringing with screams...
*shudder*

* gasp * gasp.. it's here. it's here. it's finally here!

what ? what ?

I Know What You Did Last Summer is finally showing in Elysee.

And it starts right about now!

Arizona Tea please! =).

later.

sappy sappy sappy!!

I-Hop on Wednesday was fun ;)
no seriously, I still think you can't fart and sneeze at the same time...

Last night, you see this bunch of crazy girls in their own world, tagging and commenting on Facebook, then laughing till there's no tomorrow.
Just 2 hours spent like that.. sheeshh!
hehe, oh and there's that scary 3-second long sudden black out..
frea-ky!

So we've been playing those string of 90's pop music
and getting emo-ed by those lyrics =P

Ainul received her VS package today!! Cantik!
SAF!! Lets get something toooo~
and there's this weird package of books that came in for Ainul today.
*whispers* I think she secretly got a job as a Math teacher and not tell any of us about it =(

Anyway, It's 3 for $6 today at Rentertainment!
I'm thinking some Never Ending Story,
and shrieks at "I know What you Did Last Summer."
It's gonna be another awesome movie-weekend!

Saf's at the kitchen now preparing the fish and chicken for lunch..
*sniffs* the girl's all grown up *sniffs* she's cooking by herself now...
*sticks tongue out at Saf*
hehe! Can't wait Saf!!
*hears odd bursts of screams from the kitchen*

Saffy: I siang ikan all by myself :D
Though i lupa nak sapu the kunyit + garam kat dalam ikan :P hahaha, but biar laa.
Oh oh, and i goreng sendiri too! :D
Had to take it out, tunjuk wenli first though. haha. turns out tak cukup masak, so i goreng lagi XD

Tadaaaaa!And yeah, his kepala tercabut. But OH WELL. =^.^=

Last night's facebook session was so hilarious! haha. I can't believe two hours just went by like that. Evil facebook! but we all can't help but love it.

Lunch today was sangat sedap. =). Thanks Saf and Wenli and me for cooking! Gosh, how lucky our future housemates would be. We had a three-month long cooking lesson! and the best part, there's edible food invloved.

and yes, you two. Go shop some clothes!! Make me feel less guilty. =s

Ainul ( a few weeks before) : " I nak puasa, puasa from shopping"

Wenli : Yeah right Ainul.

figures. haha.

And and, I seriously thought Barnes and Nobles nak bagi hadiah kat I. Oh, the feeling of receiving something. Best kan. I love normal mails. They give a nicer and more pleasant feeling compared to emails.

*sigh. =)

Henna Curry

First of all, i made Nasi Goreng kampung + Shrimp all by myself today! :D

It was ok laa...macam kekurangan warna warni yang cantik (a.k.a the sayurs)
But i think it was edible =^.^=

Anyways, Wenli had lunch at Bombay Indian Grill today and she brought back some leftovers.
There was na'an.
Sedaaaappppp :)

And then, there was this..curry.
The spinach and potato curry, to be exact.

HAHAHAHA, Ainul and I thought it looks like inai (henna).
It does tau!
When we tasted it..it kinda tasted like inai too!

"If i were to have an idea of how inai would taste like, it would taste like this!" -saf
hahaha.

And for sheer pleasure, this is the so-called "spinach and potato curry".We're on to you Bombay grill.
You cant fool us :P

a weekend with the lovesac in the loveshack

Yippee!

Elysee is finally buzzing with noises as its four favorite occupants finally came back from what we can say as an awesome weekend.

To Milwaukee,
Thanks for being such a pleasant and peaceful place. We totally enjoyed the non-suffocating roads. And, thank you for being generous enough to bakar your duit for that 50 minute long fireworks show. It was beautiful and even though it was not an hour long (as Dezerk would have hoped), we loved it!
To that apartment on M*@#*%&ll street,
Thanks for being so cool (and not to mention) bright. The couch proved to be (if not heavenly) extremely comfortable. And the awesome dining table that could magically be extended so that all 6 of us could fit, you rock! I'm pretty sure Russ enjoyed his stay as well since he has full view of the nice-looking bathroom that has a vase with flowers beside the sink. =) and of course because he had all the attention from us.

To the food,
To arrive to a simple dish of Dezerk's birthday cake was simply refreshing. Armed with fried chicken and some 'telur mata kerbau', the nasi goreng kerabu filled our empty stomachs with a splendid fulfilled feeling. And oh, that wonderful collection of cereals are just too good to be true. It's the best feeling to wake up in the morning and look up to see bright colors caressing your eyes and knowing you can EAT them. =D. and sure enough, they made a sumptuous breakfast for all of us. Not forgetting the Oreo biscuits and the juices and the calorie bars. You guys made our weekend more delicious!

To the dresses and elegant shirts,
Thanks for making us feel that we look 10 times prettier and more handsome for that night at Osterio del Mondo. =). And to be readily available at Forever 21 in Mayfair Mall and also the stores in Pleasant Prairie. You made us feel like royalties even though all we had was a card (that works wonders if you had money in the account).

To Milwaukee's shoreline,
We enjoyed the picnic to bits. I would never in my whole life ever regret renting that large surrey, the rollerblades and the Skelter. The ride along the lake was totally awesome. The nice people that looked at us with smiles made us smile even more. It was a great day.

To Wall-E,
Thanks for being so cute!To the cameras,
Credits to Zuli's nikon, Saf's Sony, Wenli's Sony, Ainul's Canon and I can't remember what camera Ezamil used. Without thou, the lovely pictures would only be able to stay in our minds.

To the lovesac,
You are indeed something different. =). Cuddly and cute, you are the one that made us feel belonged. Hopefully, you won't be as lumpy as you are the next time we come.
To Ezamil and Zulie,
Thanks for being great company. =). It was nice having two lovebirds with us.
To Adam aka AJ,
Thanks for dropping by and providing us with entertainment :)
We will never forget how enthusiastic you were about your little expedition into the wild.
All the best on your wedding day and we're all really sorry none of us can make it.
And last but not least, to Dezerk,
You deserve a big hug! You've been a wonderful host from the very beginning. From the freshly laundered beddings, the shopping spree at the mall and outlets, the movie, the picnic, the dinner, the lovesac, the TV, the driving, the everything. We thank you a lot. It's been a really awesome weekend and we couldn't have done it without you. Nanti boleh buat lagi! =)Annnndddd. to Wenli and Saf,
I love you guys to bits!

Sharing ♥ on the Love Sac in the Love Shack

1115am
How could we not talk about the awesome weekend. =)
Awesome in many ways *giggles/snickers*

1106pm
Got back from some Night Club 2 Step and Salsa.
Ainul's typing up an entry that I tried starting but could not finish...
Saf's working hard on her Calculus...
Alina's doing laundry.
Sighs, It's been a long day.

Peace out.

Midnight at Elysee

We're buzzing with activity again at such latenight/early morning hours =)

Some packing here,
Some modeling there,
lots of matching,
lots of studying (Go Saf!) =)
Music blaring,
Cd burning.

We all are in dire need of much pampering.

Yes, Russ will be coming too....
(first roadtrip for Russ :D)

It tastes good.. =P

I dont care what Wenli says.
I think it's an awesome bubur lambuk a.k.a the "bubur ayam udang" hahaha.
Exam in 33 minutes! :( takuuuttttt.
-Saf @ 8.27am

eh how you all burn the cd's ar? am trying to do that with my laptop but x reti..ahahaha
Anyhow, I'm at home right now. Mum told me I can't go out anymore until I get better. :(
So I've been staying at home, being fed by my brothers, talking on the phone with people, watching friends on star world and all that.
It was pretty damn hot semalam, I sampai dah nak marah marah sebab panas sangat. But today, it rained and rained and semua baju x kering but I was happily in bed in my comforter with the kilat sabung menyabung kat belakang..ahahaha.. Aight, I'm sure u guys are getting hyped up about the weekend. Even though Im on a holiday, I still look forward to it too! ahaha..
So I'm sure the bubur lambuk was nice. Am sorry I missed the whole preparation I'm sure it would have been hillariouos if i were there..*implying that I'm funny here*..ahaha..Aight..take care you guys

It's the 4th of July weekend!!
It's the 4th of July weekend!!

Today, we'll brave the recipes... and test out our bubur lambuk masak-ing skills =)
Sighs, aren't you people back home lucky to have us next sem? ;)



Go SAF!! You can do this exam! =)



A highly random post.... oh well!
