Jah! What's up with your life?

Since it's the 31st of August, I think I ought to summarise how life had been like during the month.



(a) I am finally recovered from a rather painful break-up.
Yes, it's not a surprise anymore and I shouldn't try to hide it any longer since there would not be any use to that. Don't worry, no suicidal 'cause that'd be just plain EW. Maybe depression. Ok fine, definitely depression but i'm hoping that's not somthing unusual in this case? You know, I am the type of person who find little things, like crying over a person, very silly. I am like one of those people who easily find things very cheesy or lame. Like giving hugs... I find that hard, extremely hard except (ofcourse) to a group people I feel comfortable with. Others, I may just push them away (literally) and I would always try avoid giving any... or accepting, in that matter :\ . So anyways, never thought I could actually be unFaezah-ish over a person. Oh well, he was... very special anyway. No suprises there either.

(b) My studies have degraded.
Like literally. I studied very last-minutely. It's crazy! >__< . Instead of trying to get into it, I AVOID IT. Like seriously. I play with MY (Syazwan's) Guitar. I CROCHET! I go FACEBOOK (80% of the time). I watch SCRUBS. I CHAT (but not so much). I do ANYTHING but studying! Seriously. Even it means having to stare into spaces to prevent myself from eyeing a textbook. For my HUBS' (Human Body System) exam, I only studied during sahur and the night before. Crazy bah, didn't even manage to finish everything in the end. For my HEAL's (Epidemiology) exam, I studied a day and half prior to it (better tho). That said, my grades and hence, my reputation (like they say, has there been any?) degraded. Now, HUBS... I got 72% (18/25) . HEAL... 81% (12/15) . Which all really only represented the average point. But I deserve it... and I am thankful I still get those marks. I seriously thought I'd get worst.

But like I said! I've recovered and now I'm gonna focus, focus, focus. Even made a COLOURFUL motivational paper =) that I have yet to publicise. hagagagaga~ eggcited for studies, I am.


(c) Puasa.
Yes, Ramadhan had once again arrived. And it makes me all the more home-sick. I miss my parents and my family. I call my parents less these days since I know my mum would be busy. She always is whenever I call... either that or just plain exhausted. so yeah, I just don't feel comfortable disturbing her :( . My mum always made the greatest bandung ever. Seriously, I'd drink the whole jug every day of the previous years. if only I had known that I'd be stuck under the globe. And it was always like this: Wake up sahur, everyone bangas but on the dining table we'd all cheer ourselves by silly jokes/remarks and just by being together. Now that's... a family :) and hence, I love Ramadhan so much. Here, however... is a lot different than I thought but I'm still glad I have friends to fast with and to care for and be cared of.


(d) Crochet Club.
Yes yes yes, last Wed... we were forced to join the CC. I was quite enthusiastic about it... lol I couldn't stop laughing at how reluctant the others were to get involved during the first 30-45 minutes of it. because the starting was really super-duperly complicated. You could be literally tying your fingers altogether with it. Hahaha.. it was just so funny how Lina (si Ballerina) and Peah (Peapots) were about to escape with the Toilet excuse! but they felt sorry for Jack (our RA) who gave all the sad speech that they eventually gave in. Lem Chop (masak kari, ditumis dengan bawang), aka Halimah Alias, showed her frustation by actually screaming like a madman. Hahahahahaha.. okay, i'm not being lame T_T . it looks funnier than it sounds! oh my god, these 2 scenes just keep replaying over and over again in my head. I had fun laughing.

Anyways, once you're over the difficult starting part... the addiction then kicks it. Seriously, you wouldn't stop going all "Round the back-Get into hole-Round the back-Get into loops-Round the back-Round the back-Round the back-Round the back-Round the back.." and that's when you'd endlessly be crocheting with your hats till it haunts you.... haunts you, sleeping or not.... that you literally wake up with your hands in the ai-- ok fine, it's not that obsessive. but seriously, the others had finished their hats in what? 2-3 days? Lina's done w/ hers. Lem Chop and Peapots as well. And I just might need another day or two (since I've been busier........... w scrubs) so yea... it's been fun.


Lem Chop, Farah, and the Rapis--- I mean, Jack/Lost Convict (what with his new motorbike look)

Linzy & Peapots w/ Olly (another RA/Jack's GF). Lina's baret is just pretty. I envy~

And this is how far I got to..... haha nah, I'm kidding, mine's nearly done. ehehe.

And yes, we are all now certified to live and become grand-mas... what with our knitting tools and crocheting skills. Who wouldn't want us to be their old wife/grandma now ae? ;)

(e) AGM (Annual General Meeting)
This was a weekend ago or two. It's to elect the execs that will be representing BSA (Brunei Student Associatinon) of NZ next year. And yea, had great food on that day as well as Terawih Prayer (which is relatively a well done). Chian Mei will be the President and her partner in crime, Yi Huey, will be the VP as well as Sasa. The first year included in the execs are Peah (Peapots) who was elected as Secretary, Dibzy (Dibah) as IT Officer and I as PRO (Public Relation Officer). Seriously, I don't know how good I'll be as a PRO but I certainly want to give it a try. Who knows what good it can bring me? Hopefully I can gain a lot of experiences from it :) . Congratulations anyway to everyone :DD !

(f) Going broke.
Okay, I should be thankful for how much money I have left. But cutting off the "possible" medical expenses that I may need to invest, I might just be off to a broke. This month I have spent over 600++ ... Okay fine half of it is for important purposes but the other half? I need to start saving up T____T . but I seriously HAVE been trying to :( . Will do better, insyaAllah.

(g) On a mid-sem break.
Mid-sem break just started two days ago. but for me, it'd be terday. Since I just got off First Aid Course that took away my full-time weekend. Not regretting anything tho :) . Anyways, I don't know what to expect for this break, maybe just a movie out with LemChop & Dibzy. Inception, perhaps. We were about to go last night... but it was raining so... that sucked. Instead, (thanks to Ballerina & Farah) we went for BubbleTea (Chopstik's) & McD ! "-____________- Nyaman hantap plg... nganya ya lah... fatness much? imma hook up w the gym man (setahi.... brabis "-_-)

Will take my time off to get myself in order and start studying for BIOC (Biochem). Exam's next week... Gulp Gulp GULPS, says my throat.


(h) Decided to go single permanently.
I was given the chance to NOT to. And I escaped, being the old REAL Faezah. I guess, I am not ready and I usually am a coward anyway and was never cut out for it. Maybe someday... but not today. not this year. or years...


(i) First Aid Course.
Like I said, took the whole 2 days of my precious weekend but still enjoyed it immensely. Lots of experiences and most importantly, knowledge... essential knowledge, gained from it. Hopefully, I can apply it to good use should any events occured in my presence (ceeeh~)



(j) SCRUBS Mania.
Enough said.


(k) Spring.
Final one... maybe. Spring arrived. I think it was official on last Thurs and has been named as the Daffodil's Day. Leaves and flowers have been blooming from their branches. It's been pretty :) and daffodils were seen everywhere. and day by day, it's getting warmer except when it gets rainy :( Nevertheless, it's nice to know that I won't have to worry much about layers anymore......... maybe. Hopefully, it'd be a pretty season this year :)


(l) Menstrual Cycle, impress me please.
Seriously. I'm just not getting it anymore. It's not following the schedule. Pfft. I was so so so so so sure it started two nights ago... but no, nayyy-da the next time rounds of check. and last night, again '=___________________= . stressed maybe? I sure hope not.



Anyways, it's 2.03am. I've got an Immunisation Check in the morning. Yawn... and as been said, it has indeed been a good month :)


Love Life,
Love Everyone.

Time for the true story...

As some may notice from my previous post, I just had my First Aid Course which went for 2 days. A busy, cramped up 2 days it all was. A hell lot of fun though :) The instructor was very kind enough to share stories and experiences in between although some are just gory. Nevertheless, it has been a great inspiration to myself and I'm pretty sure others as well who are passionate about being a Doctor.


The instructor, if one must know, actually played a great role in my life. She was... the fisrt person to give me an answer, the answer that I've been seeking for 1 year, 3 weeks and 3 days ago. Indeed, I still remember the date being 6th of April. It may not be THE answer but it is STILL, AN answer from those doctors who had treated me in Brunei.
The question was and had been, "How did I achieve the ability to click my hand voluntarily from all this?" In a sense that ever since the "incident" of that day, I have been able to make a clicking sound and actually let the doctors (or anyone) feel my wrist that they assume it to have been dislocated. And as thousands of X-Rays were done, no signs had been shown to have that as the case. It was normal, in fact.


I was in pain that year... ONE whole year of suffering? You know? That's just not days. And to think of how much pain I was in, both emotionally and physically, that's just... how did I survive?


It was him who helped me through, now that I recall. And it was myself as well... my ultimate tactic was to refuse any self-pity because I know it would bring me down. I know. Now that I look back, it is just unbelievable and just so over-whelming just to think how I managed to survive through it and landed here? in New Zealand?


Almost every night I cried and my self-confidence was shattering. I was stumped, I didn't how to do my ALevels with a disabled left hand (me being left handed). I became fragile and every day feels very much like a challenge to me (how am i gonna go through the day, this time?). Most of the time, especially when I tried to study, I would break down... emotionally. These are the time when I ask myself, "Who can help me? Who can stop this? Who would know what problem i'm having when even the doctors just don't know what to do with me anymore?"


The pain comes continually and worsened every night. When night passes by, that's when those tears would sometimes run down until I find it silly enough towards 6 months of suffering with it. I remember during midnights, I would try knocking my parents' bedroom ever so often but to no success. ofcourse, they had enough to deal with me when they're awake anyway. Esp when I cry. Yes, I cried a lot even excluding the ones that I had hidden to myself. My mum would let out her tears as well, fearing that one day I would lose my mind from all this. I must have.


God, I remember how worried my mum gets everyday. She would enter my room early in the morning and read me off prayers while holding my arm before I went off to school. I owe her too much that I fear I'll never be able to pay her gesture back. She's been too good. Love you mama :( and felt the thanks for the others who were back then never stopped giving me support (Yum, Papi, family, him......). My endless thanks. Why am I reminscing, I don't know.


And so how could Cheryl, my First Aid instructor played such an important role in my life? If she could have just popped infront of me sooner... last year, perhaps, I woud have never gotten into depression. I would have a life, a school life, a great year in Brunei... I would have saved all the tears I let out, both my parents had let out, the year I suffered through, the mind I was about to lose, the Faezah I turned into and just so... much... more.


The opinion (and therefore a logical possible answer) she had given me: You must have hit a tendon or a ligament w/in your hand which just somehow shifted some of those that were adjoining the carpals and the radius/ulna. Normally, this saves it from connecting the carpal and ulna together and create frictionless movement. However, since the carpals and radius/ulna were not adjoined well by the ligaments, the parts of these bones exposed to each other would cause the clicking when movement is made.


At last, it may not be THE answer but, as a patient, I feel a little more reassured than havin to listen to doctors going "Hrm, I dont know. Bones are fine. Blood is fine. You are fine". That is just depressing. Seriously depressing because then I actually went (for a year and more) "So are you saying I'm crazy to feel pain since i am FINE?" I went crazy, ballistic, angry, EVERYTHING when I hear doctors saying how FINE I acutally am. Psychological MY TUSH! IF IT IS PHSYCHOLOGICAL, why can't they even explain how I could attain such ability? Insensitive.


In NZ, they have a system where they actually do NOT just check for bones and blood? They check for tendons, ligaments and nerves as well? I want my answer and there is hope that mine, at reach, is closer than ever.


There is indeed answers (explanations) to everything.
And no, I'm never giving up on mine,
even if it takes for me to become a doctor and find it out myself.

Adrenaline Rush.

This happened today.... True story... One that is full of wonderful experience and knowledge gained that I'd like to share with you all... Saving one's life can really upgrade your life in many ways. Yes, I had saved a man's life today and here's... my story.



Lem & I and the other 5 people of our team stood outside the place, anxious and getting our adrenaline pumped in. An observer rushed towards us..

Observer: *in a hurried tone* "There you are!! Hello guys, this is Aluminium *something2* Company!! Thank god you've finaly arrived. There was a MASSIVE explosion a while ago and it hit quite a number of people. All the people injured are in that part of the building so if you guys can just check them, Please!! I've called 111"

She was clearly out of breath.

We all ran towards the place. I was up ahead being all excited to be in a scene and when I neared it, I heard moaning voices and even those that seemed concerned. Slightly eerie, I should call t. And as I pushed the door open, I saw a number of casualties lying on the floor, injured in so many parts and moaning for help whilst the by-standers either helping or just simply standing there panicking.
I could feel the vulnerability of the place and the panic in the air, with the smell of chemicals as I hit the area. Something was definitely wrong...

I didn't take my time looking around since I immediately ran towards a casualty in need of help. So I am not quite sure what happened to the others. That said, I am just gonna write down what I've experienced...

As I saw a man unhelped under a machine with a lady standing over him, I thought of the potential dangers surrounding us. Checked thoroughly for it and decided it to be safe. So I immediately assesed him:

The man in blue had his arm an inch away from him with blood gushing out from his core body at which the arm got separated from. The sight was just... disturbing that I took 5 seconds continously screaming (precious time wasted). A milisecond later though, I regained myself and checked his responsiveness. He could barely speak and was moaning very much in pain. "Ooo~ look he's hurt~" said the lady beside him.

As I ignored her, I checked the man's breathing.

Me:
"Sir, what happened here? Can you speak to me?"

Man: *mumbles* my arm...

Me:
Don't you worry, Sir. Everything's alright. I am here and I'll help you through this. Si--

The lady interrupted me in a hyper manner, "Ooooohhh~ wowww! loook! An arm! Hehehehehe you should join it back to his shoulder! Haha hehehee.." *picks up that arm and puts it down again*

I paused myself and looked at her in annoyance. I stood up and yelled, "WOULD YOU JUST LEAVE?" and off she walked away, finally. The man in blue yelled out in pain and immediately, I gave him back my attention.

As I reassured him that he'll be alright, and I could see he felt calmer. I covered his bleeding with a thick clothing (I took frm nearby) and applied pressure on it. I bandaged it carefully (terribly) and then monitored him for symptoms of shock.
I was talking to him the whole way through as I did everything. In seconds, the man's conciousness degraded. And soon then, he actually lost it. I called him out and he wasn't responding. So I opted to hit him at his collar bone to see if he would respond. And he moaned a little. Ok, so thank god he wasn't completely unconcious.

Seeing that his heart was working fine, I put him into a recovery position by rolling him (w/ a technique) so that he faces sideways instead of upwards. This was to get his fluids in the body drained and to prevent any airway obstruction going on. It was also a good position since the part where his limb got off was indirectly given pressure. His head, however, was tilted downwards and I was afraid that this may give a chance of obstructing his airway... I searched around for anything soft that I could use as a pillow but failed. In the end.... I used his lost limb. As his head laid itself on his own right arm, the ambulance was finally heard and safe, we were...

And don't worry, he's safe and sound now. In fact, his limb is now perfectly attached to himself again (amazing). I saved his life... For the first time in my life, I actually saved someone's. You know how wonderful that feels, how much it ca--------

OK FINEEEEEEEEE~ I'll save you all the sentimental speech. THIS is what really happened at the First Aid Training:


As Lem & I and the other 5 people of our team stood outside the Cumberland's Library, anxious and getting our adrenaline pumped in. Our First Aid instructor, acting as an observer, rushed towards us..


Instructor: *in a hurried tone* Okay! There you are!! Hello guys, this is Aluminium *something2* Company!! Thank god you've finaly arrived. There was an explosion a while ago and all the people injured a---

*Me rushes towards the Library*

Instructor: WAIT a sec! Come here! I haven't even finished?!

Me: Woops, sorry. *Too excited*

Instructor: Ahneways. All the people injured are in that building (pool room) so if you guys can just check them, Please!! I've called 111 and the ambulance will be on their way.

Me: Err... are you supposed to be a bystander? ('cause if she was then we might need to interrogate her of what actually happened)


Instructor: What? No.. I'm an observer. I'm just like... someone who's not in the scene but saw it all happening.. like you know.... just sort of invisible.

Me: *in head* Oh.. she's God.

Instructor: GO! GOOO!!!

*And off we ran*

I was up ahead being all excited to be in a scene and when I neared it, I heard moaning voices and even those that seemed concerned. And as I pushed the door open, I saw a number of our friends, acting as the casualties, all on the floor... clearly in need of help... Bystanders were annoyingly loud asking for assitance to the casualties. Chairs everywhere to create a chaotic atmosphere. Some got stuck under it... Some chairs, inverted. I saw Mah (bystander), yelling for help, at the corner but decided to go for the nearer one.

I didn't take my time looking around since I immediately ran towards a casualty in need of help. I never spoke to the guy so I was quite shy. Haha.. he had curly blonde hair and had that Ron Weasley-ish look.

Me: Sir, what's wrong with you? Tell me what happened.

Dibah acted as the lady, the annoyin bystander. With a jolly face, she said "ooo~ look! an arm!"

Me: OHMAGOD*SCREAMS CONTINUOSLY FOR 5 SECONDS*

Dibah gave me a confused look. Very unproffessional of me indeed.

Me: Ok fineee~ I'm sorry, it just looks so real. I freaked out.

*continues the act*

Me: Sir, what happened here? Can you speak to me?

Man: *mumbles* my arm...

Me: Don't you worry, Sir. Everything's alright. I am here and I'll help you through this. Si--


Dibah in hyper manner, "Ooooohhh~ wowww! loook! An arm! Hehehehehe you should join it back to his shoulder! Haha hehehee.." *picks up arm and puts it down again*

I paused myself and looked at Dibah. I wondered why she did that and only realised that she had been trying to get attention from me frm the beginning by being annoying and that she was a BYSTANDER. In First Aid, any potentially HYSTERICAL/ANNOYING or just merely a Bystander shall be removed from the scene as they may pose a danger.

I stood up and yelled, "WOULD YOU JUST LEAVE?" and off she walked away, finally. Dibah gave me the Woah-Relax-Jah look :P. Hahaha I got too into it. Even Lem who was treating another person and getting a bandage heard me said this and was like "Woa~ kasar jua. hahaha"

As I reassured him that he'll be alright, and I could see he felt calmer. I covered his bleeding with a thick clothing to which I had picked up from a nearby basket and applied pressure on it.

Me: Oh my god, should I be bandaging you with this? Wait, should I just leave it? I think I should.. What do you think?
Man: Err... I'm not supposed to help you....


Me: Ah, hell with it. I'm bandanging you up. So I picked him up a little and did a one roll over his body with the bandage.

*Instructor came*

Instructor: Good good, well done. But maybe bandage may be useless in this case. just make sure you keep applying pressure to the injury.

I then monitored him for symptoms of shock. I was talking to him the whole way through as I did everything. In seconds, the man's concious degraded. And soon then, he actually lost it. I called him out and he wasn't responding.

Me: Err.. excuse me? EXCUSE ME? Erm.. wait.. wait.. Are you actually being unconcious?

Man: Err.. yeah?

Me: Oh right..

*continues the act*

So I opted to hit him at his collar bone to see if he would respond. And he moaned a little.

Me: Ohmygod, did that really hurt? I'm sorry! Wait, are you acting?

*Hits him again*

Man: *moans*

Me: Wait... acting? or seriously hurt by my hit? I'm confused... how exactly concious are you? *haha soalan talor*

Man: Acting!!

Me: Ooohhh! Just checking! Okay!

*continues the act*

Ok, so thank god he wasn't completely unconcious.

Seeing that his heart was working fine, I put him into a recovery position by rolling him (w/ a technique) so that he faces sideways instead of upwards. I did it oh so perfectly at this point..

This was to get his fluids in the body drained and to prevent any airway obstruction going on. It was also a good position since the part where his limb got off was indirectly given pressure. The instructor gave me a well done at this point and left to check on the other casualties.

His head, however, was tilted downwards and I was afraid that this may give a chance of obstructing his airway... I searched around for anything soft that I could use as a pillow but failed.

Me: Oh my god... what can I do to make your head right... hmm hmm... *looks around*

Man: .................. *unconcious*

Me: HAH! Found one!

I took the plastic arm (that looked effing real especially since it was of the same colour as his shirt) and placed it under his head.

The guy, curious to know what had been used to cushion his head, took a peek from his unconciousness. He laughed his head off.

Me: I am so sorry but there's just no other pillow!!

Instructor: NE~NO~NE~NO~NE~NO~ and so the ambulance arrives. OKAYYYY !! END OF SCENE.

Many mistakes. First, should have thought of Dibah as bystander from the beginning. Second, no shouting at a bystander to JUST LEAVE. And out of all the others, the worst one would be USING A THE VICTIM'S OWN LIMB AS A CUSHION TO HIS HEAD. Hahaha..


Ofcourse, with a limb, the top to do list with it is to place it onto an icepack in a plastic bag.... or milk (unlikely in this case) as recently discovered. In MY defense HOWEVER! Since there wouldn't be any icepack in such a place anyway, I would use it as a prevention to air obstruction which would be, in a recovery position case, a threat! Hence, my decision.... as silly as it sounds :P . Besides, the ambulance was about to arrive :D .

What happened was we were divided into three groups of seven:

#1: Bystanders (those who are not injured in an emergency but are just somehow there)
#2: Casualties (those in need of emergency care)
#3: First Aiders (the heroes :P)


We all got to rotate and actually experience what it feels like to be each role. So when my group had to be the First Aiders, that was what it felt like. Intense ;)

A Rapist On The Loose

Gahhhh.. why am i giving more trouble to my left hand T__T lol, i can understand now why guitarists have rough hands in contrast to the pianists who have more slender and soft hands. don't worry, i still love piano more and since, i can't get one in my bedroom (aa duhh)... i've been learning and plucking guitar every now and then. must. stop. but i have to say... i'm getting the gists of it ^^ ... def not a pro yet tho. i have no intentions of being one anyway.

i just got home frm the library, 7.30pm. and in Brunei, that'd already be like around 9pm. so yeah, i guess you can consider that late. And since there's a rapist on the loose (not facebook, this time haha) close by, I was quite afraid about going home alone. It started when Shiou Yii was telling Sasa and I how there is a rapist that's been going around, kidnapping people and stuff. 2 girls have been victimised. A coloured man is suspected. Gahh, why when it comes to raping, does the coloured ppl have to take blame? okay, maybe it is factual anyway... bt i get all suspicious when it comes to that description, the fact that it may just be biased on races.

So anyways, thanks Dibah fr checking up on me during my studies ^^ , I felt safer somehow. Atleast I'll be discovered by friends if anything happens (Nauzubillah!! What a thing to say). When I left the library, a coloured man was walking behind me at a faster pace (who in the english world would walk faster than I do anyway!) than me. Gah, Darn the description! And my heart started throbbing a little and I stole a glance at him, a four-eyed guy, absolutely most definitely geeky which is proven by his bags, facial expression and body language. And an old suit?? Pffft, him, rapist? he's too innocent. he might just as well BE the rapee (victim), for all I know!

So I went ahead and as soon as I left the uni grounds, I guess my fear won a little over me again since I know passing the clubs & sox would force me to walk through a rather dimmed area. But then, there was a woman jogging by...alone.. and in a sleveless top and shorts with a great shape. Haha, and I looked to other side and I see more women jogging in a group. Blegh, I thot. they are way way wayyy more susceptible victims than I ever am! :D esp the woman alone. So thank you, joggers, for jogging by all my way to Cumby. Very happy indeed (and selfish at that too! mwahahaaa!)

And there's this guy... right... okay.. hahaha... i can't stop giggling now... maybe i'll never be able to end... this... hhahaha... sentence... ok.. stop.. stop, be MORE SERIOUS!!!! *uhuk* And so the history repeats itself, I can't seem to know what to do w/ this one. He doesn't seem to care about me anyway or take any interest in me......So... I just... wish... that... there's... a way to change that :P . Haha.. talor eh.

End.

Catching up.

Time, for the love of god, will you just slow down T___T !!.. as it is, i'm having a hard time trying to catch up w/ you. i need more time... i need peace... i am feeling gahgahgahgah... as well as the need to re-invent myself as a whole. help, anyone? lol. one thing why i CANNOT be helped is because complaining is such a trouble for me ;( , and that includes my feelings as well. i just don't seem to let out things from my heart..... even when i do, it's so hard for me. like it needs double muscular force on my mouth or smfing.


maybe that's why i feel like i'm such a dishonest person. i really.. need... help :( . there was one bucket i used to throw everything within myself into (metaphorically) but now, with the bucket gone.... i am terribly lost. terribly terribly. lol (yes, i tend to unreasonably smile or laugh when i express my sadness... it's stupid!!)


it's all in the past now, i guess :) . so i MUST be strong. this is just NOT me. O Allah, Help me. Help me be a strong, independant woman.

3 days ago was a happy day fr me. Altho it began literally rainy that day, I was cheered up when I chased after a Courier Post Van that was heading towards Cumby. Just as soon as he chucked all the parcels and mails out, I took mine one and began sincerely smiling throughout the whole day. And it's so pweeeety !! And i love it! And i've been using it! I just hope i'll continually be a commited & loving owner.




Loooooookieee, my nameee :) ... the parcel was seriously light that i thought about being cheated by the seller. suspicion already grew when it came a day late, anyway T__T .


Haha, but my initial thot was wrong ofcourse. the seller purposely put it in a much bigger package so that she can add in some bubble wrappers for safety purposes. how caring :)

See how small it is compared to its parcel !!! it's soo cutee!! hahaa i think the item would be getting more obvious by now!

Ooofffhh, tooo obvious now ! LOL ! By now, i was already jumping in joy!

Yaaayyyy !! Seeee ! It's the newest iPod Nano !! wooot woot 5th generation, purple coloured! I loveee!


It was brand new. And I confirmed it by opening the "apple" sealer. The waranty card and other accesorries were also included!

I think it's safe to say now that TradeMe has proven its efficiency :) but I musn't be too careless (as I naturally am) and gullible about the person I trade with. It's better to make sure you have your utmost trust in them rather than judging by their pretty pretty things!

Purple cannot be seen very clearly but it verily is! hehehe.. i love my purple iPod!

Attached to my laptop! Love my NAKED iPod :DD !

And yeah, that afternoon, I terus bought a casing for it and a screen protection. I'm very slippy when it comes to gadgets. They just tend to fall off everytime, I don't understand "-_- lol . Costed me $35 in total. Atu baru yaa~ kapih tarus! Should have just bought one online! Gah! But yeah, it was an emergency case. i REALLY need to use my iPod :P .

Hehee..

I love the whole Cover Flow system.

And this is the back cover, with the video camera at the side!


Very messy... I know. This was taken this morning when I decided to study and had enough of fooling around. Seriously. You see that apple over there?

I don't understand why I arranged it this way. 0_O Wait, I don't understand why I even have the apple in the first place !! It's been there for a week now. Lol. Ah yes, it's that grabbing-fruits-is-already-part-of-a-healthy-life thing that I have going on as a mind set. Hahaha... Everytime I take a banana, I never eat them... I just let them ripe in my bedroom until it smells that I throw them away. Same concept w/ apples. "-______-

But my brain is tricked... so i guess it's worth it :P

Ta!
