Gedong Trip
hello again people of the world! (hah..it sounds like im a president or anything...funny larr!!)
anyways, yesterday, sunday 20th Nov 2005. I finally went back to Gedong after a long time (last time i remembered visiting was, at the age of 9 or 10), "Kampung Keluargaku" that is situated 50km from Kuching City. It was one hilarious journey. There were in total 24 of us and i must say, i cherish every moment we spend with each other. From the delay-daly of what time we should start going, the overtaking each others cars session on the road, funny noises made by our(me and my immediate family) borrowed car (thank god we went and came back in one piece), and also when we arrive Gedong before 12 and finally sat down to eat. We were served sup tulang, kari daging, pucuk pisang (i think!), sambal goreng perut, sayur midin (one kind of paku pakis only found in our region) and white rice. The beef is so tasty and tender because it is freshly slaughtered the night before. I must say its a kind of luxury for the Kampung people to have this kind of food. But the best part of all is, we get sup tulang one big bowl each. You will never get this anywhere else in the world. Seeing their faces(with the "wondering face" per what we are thinking) when we arrived and when we seem to enjoy the food they provided, gives them a sense of relief. I am sure in their little minds they are just waiting for a any of us to complain bout the food or anything else. But till the end, we genuinely felt comfortable and happy. I know i have. Kampung area brings back nostalgic feelings to me.
"I was flipping through the old pictures they brought out after makan, seeing the faces of my young grand-dad and grand-ma, and my older aunties and uncles posing beside their old car, make me feel all sappy AGAIN!? Sometimes i wish i could have that moment alone with my grand-ma, just to say i appreciate her and truly love her. I know she knows i love her dearly but everything i feel now would be different if she was here. All conflicts will be settled without even going far. I like that aura she posesses and taking control of other people's action. Cause in the end i know what she did is for the very best. I miss her...Al-Fatihah to my late Grand-Ma...I love you nek mak!"
On our way home, the car we borrowed made funny noises again. I seriously felt like i was in an airplane cause it sounds like one. So loud. And even as the speedometer goes up till 4ooo but the km/h only goes up only till 70. How funny can that be? And with my dad pretending to be a speedracer, i guess this is a perfect example of a malay phrase,"mimpi tinggal mimpi." Even if we have driven further enough than the rest of the family, they could still catch-up with us. This is what we will encounter when driving an old car! But i love it in many other odd ways. I like the comfy cushion seats and the endless bumpiness feeling i get whenever it goes on rocky roads. So its just another fun experience travelling in an old car towards our kampung. Maybe i would do it again someday. So much energy taken for it. For laughs, jumping, walking on wooden planks and etc. So to sum it up, it was a hell of fun! im glad to be born a Sarawakian.

Oh Blimey!
Dearest readers,
today was a whole remarkable day than any other day. Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire came out in cinemas today. I havent seen anything like it. Never expect just another expecto patronum spell. But the whole movie was just so incredible to even be describe. need to see for yourself. so magical. from the merpeople, the tournament, to the last bit of each character. I simply love it to the max. i was actually keeping my fingers cross for the movie. i thought it would be a dissapointment like the third movie but it never did occur to me even once as a failing movie. i love and enjoy every bit of the screening. Victor Krum is totally hot! Even if the book describes other wise. And my sit in the cinema is also the best ever! This whole journey into the movie is so tiring because i was so involve with it. It makes me feel im part of the character myself. Wondering what other obstacles will i face afterwards. I came back home tonight with a joyous feeling. And i did watch the first show today! Im a happy lady. Spoiling everyone's mood by giving out the detail ofthe movie is unfair to those who havent watched it yet. But i must advice you to watch it. Cause im about to embark into the land of fantasy n magic again tomorrow. So if im watching for the second time...you can imagine how good it is...im mesmerized with everything. Even the goblet is so pretty. Blue fire....how inspiring.
Till later...ill give this a rest first and dream all the magical things. May all of us be happy in this fantasy world! Accio bed!
Love,
Nina

well hello again everybody.
honestly, i havent decided what to write in this post but i just want to state out that i would love to speak the elves' language. so mysterious yet with a very humble-like sound to add on. anyway, this fantasy yet again, came to me while i was watching Lord of The Rings for the zillion time already just now. I have forgotten how incredibly handsome Legolas may seem. Ive totally forgotten that ive once was so smitten over him. well actually its just trying to forget something for old time sake. but now the movie has helped me recall back sweet memories. damn everyone should see me everytime i see this face. i go all excited. well who doesnt if in front of me is someone so dashing, adorable and most important GORGEOUS! ok enuff, smitten aint smitten, i just have to put an end to my endless fantasy. i know i would never get a guy like him. even in a million years. but i have to admit i do have a studio mate that looks just like him. my god. first impression of him was, "GOD! i found my true soulmate.." but after knowing him, he is even better! ahahhaha (i bet everyone tot i would say his bad...ermmm) but thats just another fantasy ey? this couldnt be possible cause we're just friends. its fun that way! as this will prevent myself to end up being the super jealous girlfriend if i ever hook up with him. so pathetic. im fantasizing again! owh blimey! im going to stop. may i get a good night sleep tonight cause Harry Potter is coming out 2moro and im watching the first show!!! yeeehaaaaaaaaaaaa....congrats to luck! love 'em, eat 'em. Toodle doooo....
Love,
Nina @ Mrs Legolas (sh*t!)

Hari Raya at Syeeq's n today's
hello again.... second post on raya holidays.
yesterday after having dinner with my aunt, i rushed to syeeq's house for raya visiting. yeah, everything went well until the time we(me, daydeck n jule) were invited to play fire crackers [or wadeva it is called. (in malay its mercun la..)] with syeeq and his brothers. on the way out, walking on the garden pavement, something kinda embarassing happened. i fell. can i imagine that? in the garden? my baju kurung skirt was dirty. but thank god only one patch. so i was actually lucky enough to NOT dirty the whole skirt or NOT sprain my leg. cause that would seriously lead to bone fracture. well, sad to have fragile bones like mine right? owh well....
today, another session of dinner with my whole family. eating. eating. eating. what else is there more to do? im growing so fat now. i can feel my bone hurts. kesian my bone. damn it! anyway, whole point is to tell you guys, i went visiting yet AGAIN today. so some psycho person's house. i swear not to mingle with him again. so sial la. and embarassing. ishhh...cannot express in words. ill explode. so yea...till later la... i annoyed already. SHIT.
good bye!
cheers,

My Hari Raya
Assalamualaikum Everyone....
finally puasa is over. raya just had to be the bomb. i have waited for raya since a monh ago. and its been a wild ride. i actually had fun arranging cakes, biscuits and the rest of the ornaments. i didnt even get tired with my big family that came this year. around 69 immediate family and the rest are family cousins n relatives. so cool. everyone was wearing the same colour tone. turqoise for the 1st day, lilac for 2nd day, rust for 3rd day. wow. we look fantastic. its so easy to differentiate our family members with other people. i love. i love.
talking about raya, i had my hair done for hari raya. i turn into rogue but with red tone. so yeah....i finally like my holiday. and having everyone compliment my hair was the bombarnesss...if there's such word la. this is another thing i love. cooolll la. cant stop talking bout it. even one of my cousin was pissed at the hairdresser that did my hair. she said when she wanted to do the hair i did, last time at the same hairdresser, the hairdresser said she didnt have the colour. so yeah...i was the lucky one la. its so rich!
people came like ants at my late grandparents house. more than a thousand came for the first day, 2000 over 2nd day and nearly a thousand for the 3rd day. who will not say raya was hectic? i mean it was busy but its the best! nothing can beat raya with family. i even made few new friends from unimas (zahie's classmates). pity them. they cant go back for raya because exam was due on monday (the following week). so brought them back to my place to feel the real raya. so, it when well. nothing could be done differently to make things better. to me it was perfect! the whole idea of having everyone down for raya is a wonderful success.
i love my family. even if wandy is not here with me to share this, deep down in my heart i know he had his great time over in japan too. so syg, once ure settled n thinking of coming back to finally feel this experience with me, i will be here greeting u with open arms ok? i love you! *mwahs*
to friends and family that made my raya meaningful. thank you very much. i simply love this togetherness we have since long before.

enjoy n have a nice holiday!
lots of love,
