sNottingham!!!!

today, i found out that Nottingham was originally called SNOTTINGHAM.. which is a combination of the words SNOT and HAM. hahahahahahaha. i just find that really funny ;)

the first settlers were called the snots because, well, diorang selalu lap hingus kat hujung sleeves la. and the word HAM is not a reference to ba alif ba ya, but apparently ham means settlement. (or perhaps there was a pun intended??)

when the french came , the could not pronounce the 's' so it became Nottingham. so i guess fellow brits in nottingham have a reason to thank the french after all ;P

coll kan?? :D

my didadidu

Shahidah Deen,

I first met her in 2007 at Securities Commission. I suck at making new friends but somehow i instantly click with this girl. however,from the very beginning, she always saw me at my worst.

During our first conversation, I was bitching to her about another girl (who is now one of my closest friends). Every time she enters my room, in college or here in nottingham, it is always messy. She saw me do things that I should not be doing. She stood by my side as i burnt a picture to symbolize the end of a relationship. She never complains when i experience another culinary catastrophe. She has to listen to me babbling away on a daily basis. I always make her the subject of my test shots........ and the list goes on and on and on and on.......

and she never complains, not even once. i am really grateful to have her in my life. sometimes i think of her as St Shahidah.

sounds cheesy, i know. but i love my shadidadidu.

estrogen drama

so i have this issue with one of my house mates. i dont hate her, but i'll like her even more if she makes less noise, especially late at night.

so my other housemates and i confronted her a few mins ago. i was the one who knocked on her door and asked her to come down. i was the one who did most of the talking. and its no suprise that after the talk, she wrote on my fb wall. and this is what she said

I don't appreciate how you havn't told me once or mentioned anything to my face, yet you can just threaten me.

among other things, she also called me a two faced person. and why is that? because i am nice to her and yet i never confront her regarding this matter. so i told her that i did and she never listened. and about me being a two faced person, its common courtesy that i say hi to you and acknowledge ur presence when ur around. so, its also common courtesy that you should not make so much noise late at night, especially during exam season.

and about having fun and embracing uni life. well, i might be a boring person. but i sure know how to have some fun. i was tempted to get an amplifier when i bought rose, but i did not. because i know i will make too much noise and it wld not be fair for my housemates.

i am human too u know. i play music when i study. but only for me to hear, not for the whole house to listen.

and shld i add that u've dropped out from uni and yet u are still staying in this house. but did i point that out during our 'wall to wall' tennis.no, i did not. because i dont hate u Diva. u annoy me. and i would not have that feeling if u learn to keep down ur volume.

so yes i was the one who did all the talking just now. but what makes u think the rest does not feel the same way. All of us have friends over. but we inform the rest first and we stay downstairs and close the doors and windows in the living room so that the noise will not travel to everyone elses room. so the point here again is courtesy.

i know u will never read this. but since u are officially free from any lectures now (its not like u attended any pun before this), i hope that u will think abt this.

in life, people do wanna have some fun. but we come to uni mainly to get good grades. i dont know abt u, but that is how i feel. i want to drive a mini cooper when i turn 37 and live in a house with a garden. that means i have to get good grades. cuz u know what happens if i dont?i have to pay back bank negara 450k.

so yeah, i hope things will get better.

friends :)

*i've been living with a cloud above my bed* well, the cloud is gone :)

yes people, after one month of blood, tears and sweat, i have finally completed my coursework!!! Alhamduillah. Special thanks to these individuals who had to read my horrible essay, correct my grammar and spelling, receive phone calls late at night because i had this weird idea and i wanted to share it someone etc etc etc.
