Much (x infinity) Love,
*Munirah Binte MOHAMED SANI.

* these i dedicate,

19th Jan was a saturday, four years ago.

back then , particular members of the 4E2'05 AI-family were dragged to school for class CNY deco. the day concluded with a photo-taking frenzy amongst a smaller group of six.

you shall not ask where the frenzy took these ignorant girls- they were simply varying venues within the school compound other girls would never be seen hovering about on a normal school day. and so for that, the six made the day a significant one.

the six had their own clique of friends. the six had (and still do have) their apparent differences.

but the six were smart enough (or otherwise.?) to end up in the same 'E2-class, chop the coolest seats at the squeak-squeak corner, and appear inseparable to teachers thereafter.

* a glimpse of our squeak-squeak corner, term credit to MsAMaths.

the six, namely Shafinaz, Ayuni, Cheryl, Munirah, Zahirah, and Syahida,

on 19th Jan, four years ago,

eventually became known as one-

SCAMZS.

* clockwise from topleft: naz, sya, cher, yuni, aye, muni.


ensuing days preceding the horrendously traumatizing O's period were made more tolerable/bearable (and enjoyable/memorable) with much much much thanks and love from these gorgeous darlings.

and as discussed passionately during our

SCAMZS Anniv Reunion Tea '09,

(17Jan'09 4pm LJS GV Yishun.)

here's to walking down memory lane, up in the highlands...

MuchLove,
*Muniii.

* halawatul iman,

last week,

i discovered something very veryyy pretty.
its content definitely wasnt something alien in conversations at home. just the phrase describing it made me very intrigued.


fundamentally because, im always left feeling awed when my wiseoldman goes
"(yada yada...) ...we both know why we got into this marriage. not because of some stupid iloveyou youloveme, tapi kerana lillahita'allah. kan shimah.?"

(and then mummylove will nod, sincerely. hee.)

so somehow, i dint expect anyone else to understand this.! or even know about.!
(haha okay, nonsense.)


therefore, let's share it here.!
so may many more people know, and understand. =))


halawatul iman, the sweetness of iman.

characterised by 3 issues-
loving God and His messenger more than anything else in this world,
loving someone because of Allah,
and to hate kemaksiatan. (sorry, cant translate this. hee.)

-Hadith Bukhari,
with credits to a friend for the info. much thanks ey. =))


for the knowledge from every new day,
and love from all around,
alhamdulillah syukur.



MuchLove,
*Muniii.

* your next step,

todayyy wasss, tiring.! haha.

AND fun nonetheless.

must all fun days be coupled with tiring days.?

i was so distracted during bio lecture. and its definitely not my fault.!

it just so happens that O's results were released while im supposed to be learning about bacteria.! i should have been interested in my Kingdom Monera.! but haha.

dint help that we had surprise quiz today too, =(

in any case.!

WELL DONE AIMAHBABY.!!! =)))

ALHAMDULILLAH.!

superb when the wait is over ey darling.? you make me so proud please,

alhamdulillah alhamdulillah alhamdulillah. =))))

so yeahhh.! we went to celebrate afterwards.! in the most unhealthy way possible- i do not advocate this okay.! but since 12th coincides with ehems, we had retail therapy. hee.

got confused on the roads, thus ended up driving the longgg way around to Sembawang SC.

(yes laugh.! im only confident enough driving to semb without parental guidance.! haha. grand's place at Bedok is an exception.)

so yada yada, got home almost missing marghrib. TSK. but we dint. =)

ouwh.! and then daddy came home with loads of food.! spring chicken, satays, noodles, ...

(after the fact that i brought McDonald's home.!)

dahsyat, tak coordinated langsung lah kiter.! hahaha.

at dinner, had a longgg conversation on the phone with AbgDir. think im starting to miss him. then again, he'll be home this weekend.! so boo.! =)))

and yes, photo updates.!

Cookie's Birthday Surprise.!

Wednesday, 7th Jan '09, Admiralty Park, 9+pm.

(credits to ahRong- the rest on facebook at Cookie's.!)

* my darling surprise crew, leftess the bday girl.! =))

* muni, cookie, aixin, lala.! =)))

(ps: the deco's pretty, please.!! HAHA.)

alrighty then.

lesson tmr 8.30am and i've yet to prepare.!

so overall, 12th Jan.?

simply pretty.

and yes.! i've learnt something pretty recently too. blogging is beginning to lose its charm on me, but this i must post.! next entry, insyallah. =)

so for all things pretty in life,

alhamdulillah syukur,

segala puji bagimu ya Allah. =))

MuchLove,

*Muniii.

PS: it's not supposed to be hard,

* encapsulation.

first week of sem 1 had been, interesting. in all aspect controversial and pleasant. =))

so at the end of the week-


im feeling extremely saturated and overwhelmed by bio modules- particularly from the 3hours lecture today on Microbiology. We've only seen 2hours of Current Genetics, so i shall reserve my sentiments about that for now. Lecturers are fasttt, but good nonetheless.!

im thankful that my AED104 tutor appears to be nice- 'appears' cos we've only met for, say 5minutes.? i spent 2hours in the class next door, slenger bacin please.! haha.

still hopeful that i'l find familiar faces in ALS101 next tuesday- since it was e-learning this week.


ouwh.! my biological clock is slowly being reconfigured, thank god.! haha.


anddd, ACS201 tutorial wasnt dreadful.! haha. credits to our sweet tutor and my nice new-found senior, Nadziah. she was easy to talk to. =) ouwh, also finally met/spoke to my dad's friend's son whom i've heard so much about but never had a face matched to the name, haha. he was nice too. =)

AND. i've had to correspond via email with the Course Coordinator and Sub-Dean this whole week- we syoksendiri year1s registered for a year2 course, not unconciously. told ya its controversial, haha.


for whatever it was worth, we've decided to drop ACS201 for now. still partially disheartened on my part, but yes yes. there's next year. haha.

(FYI. after this drop, i only have four modules this sem.! not something to cheer about cos, im dreading next year's workload. herr.)








anyway.! here's photos i owe darling Maria and Aye from our Layar Andayu '08 musical/drama and Swensen's supper trip. =))



(ps: sorry darlings, my hotmail's not being coorperative with attachments.! grab urselves here please, in backwards order.! haha.)


Tuesday, 30th Dec 2008.


*satiated faces.! before kicked out by Manager after 1030pm, haha.



*their classic spastic faces, i'l never get enough of. haha.!



* aftermath of musical, outside nyp's auditorium.

* waiiiting in audi, take two.

*waiiiting in audi, take one. maria, aye, muni. =))

ouwh.! was the same day my dear NIE Spartans met-up during sem break.! photos up in facebook, credits to nana dear.! here's one complete take for the year. =))

* Spartanbabes, they say. Izzah, Widiah, Farhana, Munirah, Aisyah.! =))

considering the turn of events,

i'd say week one went well.!

and so to that,

alhamdulillah syukur,

terima kasih ya Allah. =)))

MuchLove,

*Muniii.

PS: Kimkee's bday surprise (weds, 7/1) went superb too.! ahrong, photos please.! hee.

* of letting go.

justtt when i sounded super sure of myself completely ditching my love for good (in my previous entry, fyi.)...

my dear, no, darling ex-MissV.Capt made me get all excited again about FLOORBALL (and my dear ex-Coach ____.!) at 1am in the morning.! and i cant help feeling excited.! what is this.?! hahaha.

but i'm so happy for her.!! yuni's still rocking courts, even made it to IVP.! and im here destroying my health, haha.! omg yuni, i envy you please.!!!


on a more academic note,
(BSc Edu were to replace my FBlove, haha.)

TODAY (5th Jan) was DAY1 of YEAR1 SEM2 .!
and i've missed school and library and mushollah, and toilets, and epok-epoks, and Milton candy, and LT3 and biology, ...

(but the mrt and bus rides, not missed.!)

and dear NANA and WID.! my bio mod 'clique'.! =)))
ouwh, but they gonna abandon me soon in a year2 module,
s. a. d. =(

well, we'll see how tmr goes.! wish me luck.

yet again,
for the path my life's heading,
(floorball and cliques, or not.)
alhamdulillah syukur.


MuchLove,
*Muniii.


PS: 6th Jan- Sayonara AbgDir.! stay happy in camp.! will miss you, hee.
PPS: Cookie darling, happy bdayyy.! =)))

HELLO '09.!

i used to be fluent in articulating goodbyes, but now doesnt feel right. herrr.


my writings of '08 have been one hell of a chapter- half of which could have easily ditched me into the hearts of woodbridge for the seemingly unending emotional rollercoaster.
but hey, here i am in one piece and a sound mind.!

what i could recall (in 3 seconds,!) mentioning each month of '08...

January,
home-rotting, flyer's job (w fadh!), cookie's bday surprise (w lala/icing!), booked driving's BTT (passed!), SCAMZS anniv meetup, short-lived CTAU's tuition, aye's bday meetup (w maria!), beloved daddy's bday!! blood donation at botanics (w lala!), housecrash baking (at fadh's!), LJ/ai/icekachangs/jobhunt (w myra!), stupid stupid stupid ___ ps RT false hopes.! haha.

okay, i cheated. that wasnt 3 seconds. that was, organiser-flipping 30seconds.? hahaha.


the ensuing months were exhausting, more psychologically than physically. prolonged period of anticipation is detrimental to the soul, please.

A's results release,
University(s) application (and waiting for results),
English EPT (and waiting for results),
MOE's interview (and waiting for results),
TTA signing (and waitinggg),
NIE/NTU's welcome package( and waitinggg),
Course Registration, Welcome Ceremony(s), Freshmen Orientation Camp, yada yada...

but hey, all ends well.! here i am attaining sufficiently well GPA for sem 1 in NIE/NTU.! hee, despite all those wretched waiting.? alhamdulillah syukur.!


and though my 6 months pre-NIE were memories of home-rotting (predominantly), i did meet many NICE new people.!

my very sweet superiors/seniors at Times Centre.
my superrr gorgeous colleagues/friends at PJ's Republic Poly job,
(and i must mention dear Sinyi and Liyana.! muchloves.)
my dear new juniors of IJ's FB girls' team.!

anddd of course, in the recent 6 months (or less.!) my new darlings and friends of NIE/NTU.! Spartans, Modulemates, GESLmates, BSC Club seniors, yada yada...

but hey, i'm still doing well (and trying hard.!) finding time for gorgeous old darlings.! for raya/iftar minimum.!
TJJT, AI-hmt darlings, E1/E2 AIgang, IJFloorballers, IJDucklings, BdaySurprise gang. yada yada...

and and andd,
my greatest sense of plethora/achievement for year '08.!
(no.! definitely not my A's you nuthead.! haha.)
(okay yes, getting my first choice BSc Edu could compete for top 3.)

i'm a LICENSED driver.! whee.!
(yes okay fine, on probation.! haha.)

passed FTT in Feb. failed TPtest in June, crushed tenfeet under please. decided to reapply in Sep. thennn, 2nd TPtest passed in Nov.! alhamdulillah syukur.!


ouwh, i've to mention about my long-lasting love too. i'm probly 98% over and done with him (or her.? haha.!). very sad please, but im moving on...
the last time i touched my fb stick/ball was, september.?
gosh.!
absence does make the heart grow fonder, and ignorant in my case.

well for all it's worth,
im thankful i got to serve my team oneee last time this year.
Asst Coach/EX-capt of IJ FB Girls' Team, A'Divs '08 in July. =))


and the only reason i've not mentioned my dear-ouwh-beloved family in this last entry of 2008 is that-
there's just TOO MUCH to narrate about them.!
my family is simply fundamental important vital significant primary rudimentary imperative to my life.! i need not even search the dictionary to describe my family's place in this fairly constricted heart of mine cos it's downright there alright.! much of the muchmuch love.!

so there you go,
Mak, Bapak, AbgDir, Aimah, Musa, Harun,
(nenek and tok may be inclusive)
i'm thankful for every single day of '08 i've had to spend with us,
alhamdulillah, alhamdulillah, alhamdulllah syukur (infinitely.)


okay, i think i've covered all there is to be covered.
i'm touched if you're still reading up to this point, hee.


so back to the introductory issue-
why does 'now' not feel right.?
because. i've been ready to say it for a veryyy longgg time.! hahaha.

ouwh, what the heck.

GOODBYE 2008.!!!


and best wishes to all for the many little notes to be scribbled in your new calender.!


MuchLove and AllSmiles,
*Muniii.! =)))

* of highways, and tumbling waves.

i'm back.!

ouwh, just some entry-ing. before maria comes over delivering my ilsatari tickets for tmr.! whee. =))


roadtrip circling the circumference of Malaysia (literally.!) apparently got extended a day cos "tak sangka kiter bahagia gini." haha.

so instead of the stipulated 'home on 24th', i only managed to dive into the companion of my beloved bed at 2am 26th- for the next twelve hours, hah.!


we set off 3pm on 20/12 Saturday,
got Calio's (super comfy) rented van in JB at 9pm,
then travelllll to our heart's (and stomach's) content for 2500+ click.!

of which, i only managed 50 pathetic kilometres at 110km/hr cos AbgDir was too worn out to supervise my driving at 4am in the morning of Day1. and beloved Daddy banned me from the wheels afterwards, haha.

(manual driving is love.! though muscles were super tensed for that 30mins please.!
110km/hr + 4am + msia's highway + van = scaaary s___.)


much to be told of a roadtrip worth five days, but one thing's a highlight.
i'l never forget how helpless i felt that moment at Air Papan.

thank god for the lifeguards,
thank god for the parents i still have,
thank god for God.

flashbacks will remain a nightmare, but that truly humbling sense of being enormously thankful was a sweet aftermath.


subhanallah, maha suci engkau ya Allah.
allahuakbar, allahuakbar, allahuakbar.


for the family ouwh-so-dear to my heart,
alhamdulillah syukur, segala puji bagimu ya Allah.


MuchMuchhhLove,
*Munirah.


PS: photo updates up next/! insyAllah.! hee. =))

* hello again, causeway.!

roadtrip 20th saturday til 24th wednesday.! =))))))

omg, so exciting.! hee.

may we have a pleasant and SAFE journey;

away from tsunamis, floods, mudslides, and whatnots of this monsoon season,

insyAllah.

and it'll be gorgeous, i just know it. haha. MIA till long after, take care you all.!

ouwh.! wait, forgot.! look what i got delivered earlier this week.! (15/12)

*pass it on.? haha.

alhamdulillah, alhamdulillah, alhamdulillah.!

MuchLove,

*Muniii.!

PS: ever wondered how driving a van up msia's highway feels like.? i dont know either.! hahaha.

* girls' weekend- no boys allowed.

they came, and they went. memories crafted.

* Ladies of CTAU '08. =))

12/12/08- Friday part 1

after midnight, daddy mummy abgdir aimah and myself left the kids asleep at home, haha.! we first settled some bills/fines/whatnots upon getting our bonus (haha.!) and cruiseee over the causeway to Singgah Selalu.!

omg, i was extremely satiated.! scrumptious yum yumm. i shall not mention the bill footed, but i shall mention we reached home only at 5am. hee.

ouwh, of course. the main purpose was to get DVD supplies for CTAU's sleep-over cum Movie Marathon and Popcorn popping on day2. and we did.

12/12/08- Friday part 2

slightly before noon. traveled to CTAU's headquarters- aka rumah nenek in bedok. lil boys were deposited there for my aunt's jurisdiction.

(huh.? sorry, the word just came out. hah.)

the MustaffaS live about 3 blocks down, so they're housing the mini males for the weekend. while the KamalS live few bustops away, housing the mega males.

i know, huh.?! im not attempting to sound nonsensical, it just happens. haha.

so yada yada. after Asar, we (the mini and mega females, lovingly termed 'ladies' hereafter) left the headquarter for the FirstLady'sCrib. yes, in gorgeous yishun.! whee.

ouwh-so-many stuffs happened, of course.!

CTAU's sacred Book was updated. Ms CTAU 2008 was crowned. and MsPresident'09 is still, yours truly. haha.

good old sleep-over days used to feel muchhh more happening, personally. guess i'm just losing my hype by issues of responsibilities over them kids. i was never bothered about bedtime.! but now, i've to pester them to sleep cos we've plans at 7am!

okay, i admit. the pestering only came at 3am. haha.!

responsible my foot.

13/12/2008 - Saturday Part 1

promptly at 6am, we rose. after Subuh and whatnots, morning exercise.! like bootcamp ey.? haha.! no, was a peaceful morning walk. until we reached hotspring at i-dunno-exactly-where.!

(mum/dad cheated. they cycled to the venue, haha.!)

so there wasnt a hotspring, literally. least the taps were hot.! ignorant of whatever medicinal value supposedly treasured- we're merely jakon of the opportunity to play-with-hotwater.! superb feet-dipping after the longgg walk, haha.

* hotspring whaaat.? hot-taps yo.!

* warning: hot-taps are super hot.! like, boiling hot.! dilution required, haha.

*my perfect balance of hot and cold water. happy feets.! =))

* happy-feet faces.! we who endured the morning exercise, haha.

i dunno what happened to them thru journey home cos Lina (ctau#04) and myself (ctau#03) took over the bicycles. last i heard was,

"smua bawak ezlink card tak.?"

from my dad, hahaha.

so we both cycled around yishun to a faraway market, and made multiple pitstop along the way. ahh.! been sucha longgg time.! =)))))))))

and gosh, much more stories to tell but im growing fatique of re-enactments. or pure sentence construction for that matter. guess i can neverrr be a writer afterall ey.? haha.

well then, rest of photo updates.! (mainly with me in frame, haha.!)

* for a period of time, they were twins.

* my darling mini-est lady of CTAU.! =))

* my darling next-in-line, hee. The Kamal's first CTAU lady. =)

* anddd The Mustaffa's first CTAU lady.! =)

* what was left of the pic'nic.! indoor. haha.

my pre-frontal lobe have yet to fully develop, apparently. for i had absolutely overlooked comprehending wet-weather scenario.! so no cycling/rollerblading at East Coast, credits to the rain.

but ditch that.!

hujan tu rahmat dari Tuhan kan.! alhamdulillah syukur.! =)))

and so 14/12/2008- Sunday

we settled with Void-deck Picnic (cos food all cooked.!)

across Bedok Park (aka cousin's flat facing the park, haha.!)

with indoor Captain's Ball, Indoor Badminton, Indoor 3-on-3 Soccer and all other indoor whatnots. ouwh yes, outdoor who-cares-its-raining cycling too.! haha.

the day went gorgeous afterall, rain or not.!

and pheww.! one more event down, blissfully.! hope you darlings enjoyed the weekend.! till next year's Annual CTAU Sleep-Over, rest well and take care.!

"give us an A, bye bye.!"

* Goodbye CTAU snap- take 2.! now alternating light/dark tudungs, haha.!
