...Mustika Lara...

Not so happy afterr all.......

Already move to Oaklands Park, CROZIER TERRACE, is just a nightmare. Behind my apartment is where the BOGAN lived. I have no idea this could have happen, since i had this apartment from SA Student Housing who provides home for Unisa students. Its not like i blame Noreen, the SASHA officer, but they didnt do any further research of that place.She told me and Arpan that these apartment (there are three under SASHA) they just got it from the government and was told that these units are suitable for students. Yes, the inside apartment is great, i love it too. But, today is the fourth day ive been living here, its like living in hell. I know not all the time, but the BOGAN are always there. Just imagine at night, they screamed, shouted, throwing bottles, making lots of noises and cursing with rough language at 1-4am every single day. Sighhhhhh.....i am concerned about my safety, and my property's safety. I've been told from other neighbours that the BOGAN are druggist, alcoholic and they can knock at your door when they are desperate. I am shaking...Arpan's been telling me about the truth, but somehow, the first and second day, i seem to refuse to listen to him. We always argue about it. And turn out, he's right and im wrong. I am glad i have someone who care about me. He always with me. We went to the Sturt Police Station today, to make a complaint and request for police patrol at nite. We also went to Noreen and Tony, requesting for shifting to another place. Both of them has been really helpful and understanding. Noreen told me, that there is one more units will be available by next week in Hackney. Arpan jumped, and insist me to take that property as it is near the city and lots of students living there. Noreen told me that no need to worry, if things got worse, she can even offer me her spare room. She is soo sweet. When this issues settles, i plan to cook something for her and Tony. Sighhh....

*Warning: Have to survey the area of your living. BOGAN ALERTT!!

INGREDIENTS..

• 275g skinned chicken breast fillets
• 3 tbsp tomato puree (paste) *dice tomato in can also accept..
• 1 tsp grated fresh root ginger
• 1 1/2 tsp ground coriander
• 1 tsp crushed garlic
• 1 tsp chili powder
• 1/4 tsp ground turmeric
• 2 tbsp lemon juice
• 1 tsp salt *according to your taste
• 300 ml water
• 1 tbsp oil
• 2 medium onion, diced
• 2-4 curry leaves
• 2 or more green chilies, seeded and chopped * i preferred cili api..HOT!
• 1 tbsp fresh coriander *Takde pun takper..

Additional ingredient..

• 1 1/2 tbsp cumin seeds * sukati aku jer letak..lagi sedap

p/s: Actually, there are few more ingredients for this recipe but, i find it unnecessary and its makes it taste weird to me. So i decided not to include it in my third attempt. But if u wanna try, the extra ingredients are:

• Large pinch of ground fenugreek
• 1/4 tsp ground fennel seeds

HOW TO COOK..

1. Cut the chicken breast into dice medium size. Marinate it with the turmeric powder and small pinched of salt.
2. Put the oil on the balti/pot. Put the cumin seeds for one minute.Add the diced onion, crushed gralic, green chillies and grated ginger ,and wait till its totally cook.
3. Put in the chili powder, ground coriander, tomato puree and water.
4. It should appear as a thick paste, so u have to add-on a bit of water form time to time while stir it accordingly, to ensure the paste does not stick to the pot.
5. Put the marinated chicken and keep on stirring it till it cook.
6. Put the lemon juice and curry leaves. Leave it for a while.KEEP AN EYE OF IT.
7. Put the salt according to your taste.
8. Waaaalaahhh....put the coriander leaves for presentation and serve.

p/s: The HOW TO COOK part..i follow my own way..not according to the book.Arpan gives me some tips as well..the INDIAN WAY...haha. Sedapp yerr...You can eat it with capatis, naan and basmati rice.

VERY GOOD..MAI !!

Rajin2 la ke dapur yerrr...

*Warning: The taste maybe vary to others.

If only i could turn back time.......

I couldnt get myself sleep and i cant get away with the thought in my head repeating the same things. Am i gonna end up alone...if not forever, but at least alone for a longer period of time. No partner and no friends...

I just cant keep both of them. If i have, just a few dears and im glad to have them (bersyukur sangat..). But why cant i just be neutral to a friendship? Without any drama or competition? I must confess that im starting to dislike FACEBOOK more than before. Shud i just delete it?

Obviously, It is the place for people to shows how nice they are, how thoughtful they are..but behind those mask, they are just being mean.

Lagi la makes me,
miss my schoolmates...rat+ayie+shima+aeza+nor+mira+rozie
miss Lydia... miss Meen... miss Syar...miss Kak Amy...miss Adil n Haz, i even miss Aida...I miss the good old days..

If only i could turn back time....i wanna feel again the days ,minutes and seconds of it
If only i could turn back time.... i never wanna know anybody named Saif Nizami
If only i could turn back time.... i never wanna meet anyone who hurts me now
(iF Only i could turn back time....lalalala...BY AQUA)

P/S: Ala, AQUA...tak kenal ka? Ala..yg nyanyi lagu IM A BARBIE GIRL!! IN A BABI WORLD...OPSS I MEAN BARBIE WORLD...
Tak kenal gak? Gi la GOOGLE !!

Alamak,I accidently saw those pictures..BAD!

SIGN OUTTTTTTT!!! Arghhhhhh.....

*Warning: Don't check Facebook and Orkut more than you should. Maybe harmful and increase your negativity.

Bulan ni mmg bulan yg mencabar kesabaran aku, lepas satu per satu lara yg timbul. Cam org sengaja jer nak buat aku panas hati, aku ni dah nak hampir2 jadi The Hulk. Bak kata org, api yg marak disimbah dengan minyak petrol bergalon2 (minyak petrol dah murah daaaaaa....), tentulah akan jadi KEBABOOOOM !!! macam bom atom. Aku ni tak habis2 asyik nak meletup jer...tapikan..tapikan...at least aku meletup dengan penuh kesabaran. Meletup dengan meluahkan perasaan menggunakan senjata yg paling hebat dan percuma iaitu KATA-KATA KESAT (tapi tak kesat sgt pun kan..kan..takper Mai, still PG lagi). I dont harm anybody, right? I dont broke anybody's leg, right?...kikikikiki. Tapi jangan cuba provoke api yg menyala.....

What's the motive?
It is not weird but it is a total clear. Why copies me? Arghhh.....next time, ill just keep my mouth shut.No plan,No stories and no copying. It is said and done...DEAL!!

*Warning: Watch ur back, Mai!!

Yup, im still obsessing about the landlord thingy, i have the courtesy to meet them personally yesterday without using any electronic devices to inform them the real situation and my decision to get the hell of my ass from their dear so-called, "AUD$180 DESERVE GRANNYFLAT". I know, grannyflat sounds funny but in this particular reason, its not. Its just that i dont understand why people like to piss me off whereas, i tried to not creates any troubles. Its just like what they called ,"BADI". Macam terkena badi pulak,that i cant get a peaceful life without having to move around from one place to another like a nomad. Teruk sangat ke aku ni?? Sighh....am i?

Tapikan...i've stayed in hostel before, like 100,000 years ago.I dont have any problems with any of my mates..for God's sake, 12 people in one room. Dont know la...the conlusion is to stay on ur own..i know it can be a bit lonely, but its the best place to be if ya need space and peace. I WANT PEACE........!!!! Ehh...kalau kawin, kena duduk berdua gak, what if u can't get along with ur hubby and if he turn out to be a jerk ass. SHIT....its like u stuck with him forever....well, i know there is another way, ....but GOD forbids. Boleh ker aku kawin? ??

Confession of a Shopaholic
Rating: ♥♥
Semalam, gi tgk umah baru and i have chosen the upstair apartment which has balcony and im soo in luv with it,,cant wait. Then, me and arpan went to Marion shopping centre to watch movie "Confession of a Shopaholic".I know ive said ill wait for Windsor, but since we have nothing to do so we ahead of plan. I am totally dissappointed with the movie coz as usual, they change more than what it shud be. The result is CRAP!! I dont enjoy at all coz they missed a lot of the best part which makes the story interesting. Im totally not impressed.Such a waste of time and money...and embarassment when u watch it with ur partner and they make fun of u about ur choice and more worse when u force him to watch that CRAP movie. Basically, it ruined ur reputation as the smart one with better interest.

*Warning: Never have high hopes for the movie version of any books coz it usual turn out crap. So watch out!!

These two gives u the advices, ideas and signs about our partner, the relationship and how to deal with it. Sure do help me...

If only i have this book "HE JUST NOT INTO YOU" two years before, i might have seen the signs and might have back-off first. The moment i read this book..its just like BAM..BAM..BAM...one to another in my heart exploding like BOMB...just how idiot i am trying to work out the relationship.

*Warning: The story-line of the movie is made up by the moviemaker using the advices and signs from the book. The book is actually a self-help book, not a novel.

People who knows my previous relationship might understand what i mean, the sign that he is not too eager to meet me, once in blue moon call, always say he's busy, never try to meet my friends, always avoiding , bla..bla blaa
Just too many ....

And the second book "Its called Breakup because its broken:The Smart Girls Breakup Buddy" is a total HELP...to get me out of my past. Still reading it and trying to digest the advice, ITS HARD..but i will try. I bought this book first for myself and i thought that there would be one person, who i think might need it and I would love to share the ingredients of this book with her. So i went back down to the same bookstore, get another 'SMARTGIRL BREAKUP BUDDy" and went straight to the post office. SEND......

p/s: Somebody will be receiving delivery very soonnnnn.... :). Arpan actually has been soo generous to paid for the book for her as i covered the postage cost. Sharing is caring , he said. Awww....so sweet!!!

*Warning: Sharing is caring doesn't really applied to every situation, terms and conditions apply.

Helloo Oaklands Park...Goodbye dear Henley Beach
Since ive got the sms from the evils, i immediately cari umah through websites, newspapers and ads. Bukan senang nak cari umah AUD$150 ke bawah. i tried to look at real estate agents rental properties, tapi semuanya mahal plus bukan senang nak dapat umah from rental agent, kena go through macam2...and belum tentu im selected. BUANG MASA....so real estate agents...cutttt!!

Pastu, cari pulak kat adelaideexchange website..ader satu dekat henley beach..so i called and make an appointment on the same day. Tapikan, i have a bad feeling on this one coz the girl sounds aussie...susahh ooo..duduk gan omputih ni...banyak songehh. When i arrived at her house, ohh yaaa...jangkaan aku mmg betul...dia pun nampak terkejut bila nampak aku..hahahha...terus dia buat muka taik dia cam malas nak layan la. Tapi takper, aku sabar....gi jer tengok..masuk jer umah dia...ohh yes..mmg la cantik plus dia ader kucing lagi...cutee tapi tak se- cute tomot aku. Dia tunjukla kawasan umah, n bilik yg kononnya aku nak sewa la, she said that, its her sister's room..alamakkk....umah family dia rupanya. OK..that's a big NOO...and dia kata, jgn buat ni, jgn letak sinila..mcam2. pastu, dia kata there is another GUY coming this weekend for the other room...aku pulak, terkejut coz in her ads, two female uni students, camner lak tertukar jantina pulak ni...another NOOO!!!..Nak dijadikan cerita pulak, dia siap bagi two sheets of paper contains house rules...ohh God, masa tu, aku rasa macam kena BOM jer...NOOOOO. Aku nampakla dia ni mmg memilih giler sebab banyak org dah tengok umah ni, its a really long list. Dia gitau arr...dia akan contact aku, kalau bilik tu still available...in my heart says" F**k Off!! and Go to hell!!" Tak ingin aku duduk gan kau. Blah la...pastu, bila aku kuar dari umah tu, baru satu langkah, dia terus tutup pintu, didnt even send me to the car.Lagila, aku menyampah gan aussie girls.

Without any hope or interest for that room, i continue my search for my new casa. i tried to go through unisa accommodation website...lagila mahal....sighhh!!Tapikan..tapikan...aku ternampak SA Student Housing, Noreen Morphetts...cam familiar nama tu...tapi kat mana yaaa?
Oh ya!!1 Arpannn!!!! Arpan duduk kat one of the student housing and his landlady named Noreen Morphetts. Sepantas kilat aku call Arpan and ask his favour to contact Noreen and tanya ader umah kosong tak?
YaAllah, happy yer aku, bila Arpan told me that there are three vacancies for one bedroom units at Oaklands Park available at the price of AUD$100 per week.
100 dollar??? r u serious?? well, the next day, me and Arpan when to SA Student Housing at City East, to meet Noreen and she show me the pics..its unfurnished but there are built-in wardrobe, stoves, etc..but takde fridge, katil..
Takper, boleh cari yg secondhand..plus Noreen recommend one electrical shop jual fridge murah..boleh pergi tengok...yg penting umah ni murah...
Esok, nak gi tengok lokasi umah (walking distance to Marion Shopping Centre and train station depan umah) gan Arpan...n pilih unit mana yg aku nak!! yeayyy!!! Noreen janji akan simpan satu unit untuk aku...sampai aku officially OUT from reedie street (25th April 2009). *sigh*

Gerammmnyaaaa!!!Benci tahap cipan tul la gan landlord yg tak mengenang budi tul...Ade ker patut, nak naik kan sewa umah lagi...baru jer few months ago, diorang naikkan harga from AUD$130 to AUD$150.Ni, dah nak naikkan harga lagi to AUD$180...gila duit tul la diorang ni.Elok sangat la tu, pompuan cina yg tak sedar diri gan pakcik scottish yg accent cam nak terkeluar taik tu..Marahhh yerrr akkuuuuu!!Dahla tak berani nak jumpa aku...bagi sms jerkk!!Alasan, utility expenses dah naik...BULLSHIT!!Bill kau yg naik, nak salahkan aku plak...dahla aku jarang ader kat umah...camner plak salah aku, bill naik...BODOH betulla.Pastu, right after aku kasi duit rent every month, ader jer barang yg korang beli ekkk....last sekali, canoe...wahhh banyak plak duit korang beli bende alahh tu..
Aku ni dah kira baik, tak pernah complaint aper pun pasal umah yg dah cam nak roboh ni...almost two years plak tu..duk diam2 kat umah..tak bagi masalah.
Ni, nak amik kesempatan pulak, nak suruh aku blah la tu....elehh cam umah ko tu cantik sgt jerkk...umah aku lagi cantik.

Nak dijadikan cerita pulak, aku baru jer dpt call for catalogue delivery job for Henley Beach area, tapi camner pulak ni, aku kena pindahhhh!!!!Haii...melepas la lagiiii nampak nya!!!!!
