jauh perjalanan luas permandangan... malay verb

i jsut arrive my parents home like sejam ago..if yesterday i was in singapore, now im at home!hihi..i was hitching a bus while standing at the malaysia-singapore immigration border, and hail any bus that heads north, that was a gamble..im glad the guy actually took me and didnt expect any money, but of course, i did pay him for his honesty.

on a separate note... travelling..

im supposed to go for a scuba trip this thursday, but was cancel due to a reason that im not sure worth argue/sacrifice for.. thats just the extend teman lelaki boleh mengubah rencana hidup anda! :(...guys guys guys...thats why i just travel with girls..senang!

me, hanim, mom and my bro is heading to brisbane this sept..yeah!~ its like a family tradition to get away every raya..hoho. gold coast..i really shud be diving there but the great white shark scares the hell outta me..

i just realised i have earned MAS miles points tht allows me to get a return trip ticket to NY for FREE! and its expiring this december.. i havent use it since 2007 actually..(!!!!) i might wanna do sumthing w it then! glad to have a friend inviting me for a roadtrip to usa in 3 weeks time.. at least i mange to convince my boss to give my annual leave in advance.phew~

So dear, pls tell me if its going to happen...free tickets arent many... it might run out soon... i'll be happy for the rest of the year if i get to see your face again soon... plus i miss your hugs... lots! or else i'll make a quick trip by my own to elsewhere.. hohoho... i'd LOVE to see grand canyon in utah, or maybe im being a rock lover.. i dont know.

i guess vacation is not about destination,
but the travelling company tht makes the picture perfect... *click*

singapore sundown marathon

Oct 2008 10km = 1hr 33minutes
May 2009 10km = 1hr 25minutes

i did it!!! it was called sundown coz the run happen in the night time..anyways... i DID IT~~
and my timing could be better, but i was slowed down by bunch of ppl blocking my way that i cant speed up.. hence it makes me tired to slow my pace.

anyways...i DID IT!!! im writing this from singapore millenia walk coffee bean and waiting for M to come over. M is my singapore girlfriend who promise to take me around singapore.. my leg stil hurts..but its ok. running alone was fun, especially the last 200m when i was actualy sprinting towars the finishing line...superb~~ here is the pic of the medal..

next!! im supposed to run for 21km in june..:X and im not sure yet if im going to make it or not..

-freeze the clock and take a deep breath-

This pic was taken a year ago, when i was in the sailing boat for 21 days and it was the sunset that reminds me of the earth horizon..there's a platform at the picture id notice..
hey diary, im down again.

Had lunch with a friend, and told her about my mild depression at the moment without being specific on the issue, i was adviced to not think too far ahead.. i was told i think too much lately.

i wanna get away from mycity.. migrate to other country, what do u think my dear ?

i'll be packing tonight.. off to singapore soon... and im trying my best to be exited. i really need a hug, not a 5 second hug, but the one tht allow me to rest my head and cry..

song: one step at a time...

p/s: if i can just lie down by the beach and close my eyes without thinking..thats a gem!

picture perfect

Dear diary,

im sorry....
in the mean time.. thank you for everything.

tak sampai hati nak cakap to your face.. kamu patut realise there was no more spark kan?
im tired.. its fatigue.. listen: you know i dont fake..

ackward..penat.. selalu hanya aku yang nak letak the effort, letih.. not that i know what i want, but i do know how does happiness should felt like! i had felt it before,, it was wonderful.... trapped, choked...can i cry? mana ada siapa yang nak dengar pun, picture perfect is what you painted.. just tht our picture arent the same. sedih kan.. aku sakit hati !! and above all, i dont think so you'll notice this tribute of tears..

theme song: snow patrol - you could be happy

run farah runnnnnnnnnnnnn

exactly 7 days to go to my singapore marathon...freak im scared!!!!

i cant eat properly coz of my teeth condition.. this braces limits my meal.. i wanna cry so much!!

i ♥ the fact tht im having my easy run now..i can run and run and run and not getting tired at the pace of 10minute per km... thats slow!! thats not running,,,thats jogging! easy run is when you can run and breathe normally with your mouth shut, and not gasping for air or half dead at the finishing line.. i have good song on my ipod too and that helps..

last week i manage to get the 6-7minute/km pace..however it hurt my knees.... being overweight means i have to take care of my knee when doing my running, hence i can only do slow pace...

it took me 45 minute to do 5km run.. and thats the furthest i've run so far.. i need to do more..perhaps today, coz its saturday and i can start early.. gambate!!

i weigh myself and found out tht i've lost 2kg for the past one month of running..only 2kg????????????? well,,muscle build also add to the calculation so i think i may have lost more weight..plus this limited food intake situation right now should be able to help me reduce more..yeah yeah!

happy pills

today i manage to chat/speak/video conf with a dearest friend in alabama.... what a distance!

last time we met was last december when we were departed from the atlanta airport... anyways..its always good to be able in touch again.. terlepas semua rindu ..

i love technology...
i love my dell laptop..
i love my "harry porter" friend.. :D

it sure does take the pain off me..kurang sikit sakit, dan terubat rindu.. yeah..pain is weakness leaving the body.. darn this braces!!

i aim to run 7km today..but how am i doing so when i dont eat much today/no energy? we'll see .. i got few hours to go before my run, nak rehat kejap

ignore-abandon-silence-untraceable

I dumped my old blog, i have lots of entries there privately for me, but i was suprised to have it linked at my friend's page, leaving the public easy access to it..

i was kinda furious n suprise, so i dump it.. no one can trace it..i had tried google my name and it didnt pop up any ways to reach that site..phew! plus tht blog has limited space for pictures.. at least now the blogspot is a bit generous in picture publishing!

rare weekend..

i was volunteering at the kids party, doing facepainting.. still impressed with my hidden talent tht i never knew i had.

tht evening i went to escape at the bungai beach, it was solemn... nice a great escape from mycity at 45minutes drive..would like to go there with my love ones.. this is how the beach looks like, taken from my camera with few edits on the coloring... tht was a saturday worth spent.

Then, on sunday i did a major room clean up for no reason, this is the rare view of my room.. ignore the kain semayang and the running attire on my bed, but otherwise, this room is heaven! the bed is awesome (the mattress type that supports your backbone) and i had let only few people sleep on it.. hahaha...

i hardly see any bed in korea, almost everyone sleep on the floor! i figured i could hardly adapt to that.

curiosity tempting

boss: Farah, there's a vacancy for senior ******** in houston office if youre interested.
me: did u said senior?
boss: owh yeah im sorry, ignore that then..

arghs! i do wanna go for a cross posting one day.. plus i have lots of friends in the us.. those in the same industry as me.. being their colleague will be fun! anywho..im still adapting to this work and im giving myself a window in 2013 before leaving mycity for anywhere else..

god will give me what i want, only HE knows when is the best time for it.. if i were to go now, i might be under-competent and stress out of it right?? be positive..positive!!

space dimentia

I wore braces yeaterday..

the dentist gave me an option of metal or porcelain and i took the latter, i dont wanna have my future pictures smiling with metal in it! it didnt look tht obvious..didnt it?

i seek for mild process even it it takes longer period..doc says thats rarely the case...usually ppl just want to get dont with it a.s.a.p..hihi. initially i need 6 month for it..i dont know how long it will be now..maybe 8?even 12 month perhaps?

i felt the need to wear it last month, when i saw mar's wedding pic and her smile look perfect with no teeth gaps :D..i would wanna have the same

as for the rubber band, i choose the bright alternate with baby pink for a start.. the cost is rm2.6k...which is still cheap coz usually its 3k++..here's the upclose view of my teeth now...

i will be needing once a month checkup and tightening up! what color should i go for next???

queen of summons

I receive a letter frm the police of my 2007 traffic offence (illigal parking at airport)..
was told its common lately, its like the gov are digging back records in attemp of generating money from the good samaritan,,,,,,,fine!!

upon bayaring the saman, i got another saman within half hour of it,.. boy i was furios!!

neways,,meet up w my dentist and they suggest me to do braces for both up and lower jaw, but i guess the most severe gap can be seen is the upper jaw je,,heres how the cost breakdown goes:
upper jaw only : rm 2.8
upeer + lower jaw : rm 3.6

beza rm800 jer... sajer je tau.....
wah..im going to be a metal teeth person soon~~ yeah yeah!!

just learn tht mukrim isnt coming to town..sedey gak la.. was hoping to give him a big hug already... he said he is kurus now (we made a bet to get slimmer).. :(
btw, i got my easy run pace already, steadily running 4km non stop gives me a good rush of relief..and that rm 400 shoes was well worth it coz it gives me the support and no knee pain---yet!

kudos~

Mr K called me.. he btw, was my ex.. he is educated malay with good command of english and i was always there for him since our student days... silly thing about this guy is tht he ever literaly propose marriage with me! that happen in 2005, time i invite him to my kenduri kesyukuruan for landed this job.

of course i didnt said yes nor decline but asking if he is out of his mind, slowly over the upcoming months he realise i was married to my job, surrendered and we choose to remain as friend. anyways...we were suposed to get married in 2009 kot, or was it 2010..ntah.. anywho.. im now happily with Mr M and im trying my best to appreciate that sweet guy.

but this K is telling me how we should be together again,,, he was calling me while driving off to meet his current gf btw, to break off with her.. whattadilly. time aku single tak heran pon...watta life!! *watch this space*

i will want this blog to personally be the place for me to talk about the people tht i wanted, different ppl at each entry.. :)

my first post....

I had a visitor in my town last weekend.. it was my cousin munira and my childhood friend nadia. i heart them for the fact that they both flew 2 hours flight from KL to be here with me for the weekend..

Munira is my batchmate cousin...we're born on the same year, endure the upsr, pmr and spm at the same time, with aunties comparing our exam result, she n me both remain subtle not wanting to join the game were not interested in. . we're cool cousins.

Nadia is my friend sejak darjah 4!! back when i used to school in subang jaya. i left the school for pakistan when i was 11 and suprised to know she still rmbr me when i got back.. back then we only communicate thru house phone.boo.... constant phone call and no emails/fs/fb makes me impressed how we maintained to keep in touch. we only meet up again after 13years i left subang. wow...

i should be cathing some sleep, that 3km running juz now didnt tire me but i bet i will be sleepy esok kat office.... tataaaaaaa.
