Thursday Trivia: Tralala!

*Listening to Teenage Love Affair (Rmx) by Alicia Keys ft LL Cool J (Produced by Swizz Beatz)*

Was nervous yesterday for the casting. Not sure how well or bad I did. All I know it wasnt my best. Still feel the nervousness and excitement til at this very hour.

Reached home and was bumping around. RuxtA called and we chatted.
It feels like falling in love again. Its been quite long that we do not chat on the phone talking bou stuffs. This time around we talked bou some proposal and discussion. Excited for it tho, but then again we will all work as a team.

All bout upcoming plans be it our personal life, sidelines and more. Can't wait. Can't wait for some serious ass-drill shit!

Thank you for your support and words of confidence last night dear. I love you!!

Besides Fresh, June Floetry will be held @ Earshot Cafe, The Arts House this Saturday too. Public Eyez, Irfan and the Proteges will be performing. XS.1 might be releasing their STR8Jack Mixtape too.
A sure must buy!

MidWeek Madness: Appreciation

*Listening to Lollipop (Rmx) by Lil Wayne Ft Kanye West*

Tuesday was great I must say with futsal training and actually managed to see our other opponent from another business unit having their training too. Got a glimpse as on who to look out for from their team. Hope to have a great game on 3rd August.

Beginning to appreciate the art of Dart. Just too bad I can't make it for today's practice over at OCC due to some casting I gotta attend. Hope I get thro for this casting. Just gotta do my best this time. Even if I don make it thro @ least I know I tried my best.

Alternate Saturday off will officially begin next month. Wee! But then again, I would rather come to work on saturday rather than covering the off days to other weekdays.

Vertical Marathon training tomorrow evening, another thing I should be looking forward to.
I bet this week I will be totally drain out.

Training and more training. But I love it this way, I'm pretty much occupied, no worries and definately keeping myself fit. Back to my normal self. *huge smile*

Plus with more upcoming plans for next year and more, I'm beginning to feel that structured life is not as bad as someone thought it will be. My life may be structured, I for once may go all out following rules and regulation.. but that doesnt say all bad tho.

I'm happy and contented.

That's wad matters most.
With my loves ones, I'm complete.

Wanna see various genres under 1 roof, be there this saturday. Don ask me coz I will definately will. Wid my favourite boys that is. The 'Gagak Hitam' clan.

Pix taken last friday, their usual Friday hangout & Yasin being the ever trusted juru gambar.

Mundane Monday: Hype it up (Part II)

And so I thought Dart game is some-what easy.No damn its not. I have not thrown darts for almost 10years and when I finally did 1 hr ago, I could declare I sucks. But I did get some compliment that I definately can throw darts for a 1st timer only need MORE and MORE practice.

Dang!

Wad worries me most are the numbering. Oh I so dislike maths but having to count and calculate the scores seemed rather scary for me. Like as though Im taking some maths paper or wad. And da tot dat I know I won't be able to scream or shout (like Futsal/Netball), its looks rather stressful for me.

I gotta have that self confident for this new game I'm playing. Today's another practice after 1630hrs. I can't believe I am actually kinda nervous.

3 more practice outside at OCC. Minus 1 makes it 2 more practice for me due to some other commitment next Wednesday. And practice every lunch time. everyday. Game is on the 13th July (due to this I have to let Rinn collect her numbering tag on her own on that Sunday)

On happier note, Futsal training tmr. Yeahness!

Wednesday - Dart and Thursday - Vertical Marathon training.

And I just find out my cousin getting married 2 weeks earlier than expected and due to this, I am unable to attend to the wedding. I have my Futsal Tournament on that Sunday (3rd Aug). I will make my way for her pernikahan but sad to say, I can't miss my game.
Told my mom and she seemed rather fine with my decision. (anyway I'm not that close to this cousin of mine) But would miss my other cousins (Farah & Yan & Emelda, Ati & Khai, Kak Ana& Abg Rahmat, Maria, Aish, Fai, Rahmat).

Farah said this morning to me "ala. tk pegi bole? nanti cousins take pics together, you're not in the picture.."

So sweet of her, anyway we cousins have always stick together but this time around I have to make a sacrifice. I can't miss my game. And knowing me well, my cousins are sure to know that I would go for sports than attend this wedding. Else muka macam taik. (standard phrase by family used to describe me if I can't go/do wad I want. Spoilt brat. Haha!)

Mundane Monday: Hype it up

Oh good morning monday (blues) and welcome back to school students! wahaha. I could nearly hear my 15 yr old niece and 12 yr old nephew go *yawn*. No doubt taufik (nephew) was slapping himself in the lift this morning to keep himself awake. Whahahaa!

Highlight of my morning. Definately!

Not to be unfair to them, I am myself not totally sane today. Reason, I ran my 3.2km run yesterday under the rain. Despite the rain i'm a-ok (didnt catch a cold/flu. damn my immune system is good) except that muscle tightened. I shall opt for more stretching later.

Ok bad timing I guess. I had a good run on saturday morning doing my average 2.5km run but I guess yesterday 3.2 was rather Whack for me. I was indeed upset with my timing. My endurance lacked tremendously. Well not my year, but came in 6th place. No trophy but that $20 makes my sunday better. Run and get money. I would do it often just to get $20 extra. *wide smile*

Nonetheless I have to train atleast 3 or 4 times a week now for 20th July Shape Run @ Padang. 5km run gotta be good. I bet my face will be all red. Rinn told me few days ago, 5km run made me half dead, how can she prolong the 10km she participated in. 5km half dead for that FIT bitch! then wad bout me! Damn. wish me luck. Gotta run from CCK to Bukit Gombak and back to CCK. I declare that place will be my training ground.

Dart practice commencing today at noon (lunch time) meaning no sleeping time for me. Boohoo. When weekdays come by, nothin beats the adrenaline rush of futsal on wednesday evening. It gets me high(er) every training session. Have yet to get my team captain to select who will be in the 1st team (1st 6 ladies).

Pick me pick me!! (nurul raised hands plus jumping around like a monkey)

I had great weekend with my dear RuxtA, who cooks for me. Met me for hot tahui at CCK central yesterday and chilling just watching tv was indeed a relaxing feeling. Just one of those weekends that we just wanna chill at home (Sat and Sun). But come this coming sat, we have event to attend from 12pm to 8pm. 2 events clashed on 1 day. Thankfully on different timing.

Counting down to a day to welcome her back to WORK. YES AH! oh my dear Zulie, you better set your alarm clock back to 5am. As usual, if you need me to make the morning call, I will be glad to do it :) Anything for a fren who is reporting to work after a long 3 months break. LOL. (Evil laughter)

On another note, hype your monday with this. Yes for me @least by N.E.R.D

(i mean oh Pharell Williams. Yummy!)

TGIF: Friday Night Highlight

Tina told us not to send her off due to some issues. therefore here i am blogging while downloading some Drum & Bass mixtapes and listen to Lollipop Rmx (by Lil Wayne ft Kanye West)

Feel like partying. Yea just a tot. Strange thing is I don party. Yea im not a party girl. Bt once in a while if there are some events and dear RuxtA will be performing, i will be gladly to be there to let loose. :D

But for now, let sports do my muscle tightening. Nutin is hotter than dat. sweats and muscles toning, get me all feeling extremely high. just plain healthy things to do keep me sane.

Since tmr im on leave, morning run will mostly help. prepare myself for sunday and starting monday, i've been invited to join the Dart team for inter SBU game. 3 games this year. Hopefully the other games (like badminton, bowling) do not call me up else "muka nurul nie lagi"..

Peace out

TGIF: Friday Friday

Time shows 1600 and it means 30 mins left to hello weekend!

Plan for today infact tonite. Sending off Tina to airport. Since I didnt get to see her, this is my only chance to do so. Took leave for tomorrow due to her early flight and just another reason for me to wake up alil later then usual.

Nothing much of a plan for tonite. But going for last min training before cross country tmr with dear RuxtA. Fetching future SIL from the airport and probably dinner with future in law.

And if you are free this sunday. Yes! i donno why must it be a sunday and like Ska or Punk.
Head down to Home Club.

Have a great weekend peeps!

Thursday Trivia: Sports

Goody! Based on my past entry regrading Shape Run 2008, that I registered for 5km. Tot it was unsuccessful and my registration did not go thro.

Guess again. Yes ah Yes ah.
All these while, silly me just being plain ignorant did not wanna email to enquire. But out of nuthing, curiousity plus the continuous reading on training tips and all for my cross country this sunday, it triggered to do so.

Within minutes, my email was replied and the confirmation email was resend to my correct email addy. Dear RuxtA actually forgot my email add and entered in nurul_hirata when it was suppose to be baby_hirata. Well nonetheless, stop complaining coz its a good news for me and rinn. Now we can collect the bid together. Wee!

I read this online and a question was post out to say.. "why do you like to run?" and "how fast do you think you need to run?"
wow. just like the editor, I myself can't explain that. But why I like to run all comes from my competitive mind. Besides that long distance running does helps to think bout things in a better way. plus reminiscing or to release anger and more. it does help. sometimes. :D

Since young I love to compete especially with boys (back then I was 10yrs old). Just to see who can run faster (trust me I wont do it now at this age)

Then comes annual sports day back in primary school. I realised I was among the few girls who can really run and definately enjoy running. Winning those trophies were somehow great. Showing off is 1 thing, but bringing whole load of them home to show my parents, was the best feeling ever.

Then in secondary sch, annual sports meet I will be take part.. Cross country too and P.E Session, some hate it (especially girls) just becoz they are lazy to run.But comes P.E., I will be the 1st to go down and last to be back to my class. Even made good relationship-buddy like with P.E teachers. Especially soccer coaches. Well those were then. "Masa muda-muda dulu"..

Polytechnic, don't even talk bout it. Hidup melepak aje hari2. Lectures, tutorials and lepak session (rajin sekali) and rush down to Liat Towers for work. But I still enjoy my friends company tho.

And now that i'm a working adult, I'm glad my company do have this sports meet (Inter-SBU games) every year. Each shipyard company under the big K are given a name. This year, my company team name is Caspian. Together with other events sponsored by my company to certain organisation, it also gave us (sports enthuastic) to take part.

So can't wait for sports. Sports for June - August. Happy me!

22 June - KRC Cross Country 08
20 July - Shape Run 08
3 Aug - Inter SBU Futsal Tournament
31 Aug - Inter SBU Vertical Marathon

Zulie, hurry up and be back and participate futsal and vertical marathon with me. 2 years already you neva participate sports with me due to commitment! Be back next tuesday. Have breakfast with me. I miss you!

MidWeek Madness: The Deleted File

How bad can things be. When I came to work feelin extremely sleepy.
Switched on my laptop that was left hibernated since yesterday evening. Opened up the folder to do my daily backup of this particular database. I wanted to delete the locked file but damn it. I accidentally deleted the database itself even before copying it to my local drive.

It certainly woke me up well at 652am.
I was like "Fucking" myself upside down. Dropped an email to the servicedesk to get it restored. Panic as I can be. I still could sip my tea and eat mee siam. (Yes just to destress)

Thank god. I do not need to wait for the last nite backup tape.
They could restore it from the server trash bin.
Goody! It was up at 8am. Fuh.. just 30mins downtime.

Else I'll be a beef.

Moral of the story. Do not try to do things fast when u are feeling sleepy.

Yes I definately learn my lesson. To those who noes how kanchong i can be, you can imagine my reactions. Panicking.. (obviously im pointing out to hubby and zulie).. Zulie would definately quote this "dah biasa pun see you panic at work"..

Oh wednesday. Mid-week! After work, Futsal training!!

G.F.F Session: BooHoo

as I tot I could make fun out of my mundane tuesday. Things got rather worst. Yes! Thanks to Miss-PMS-MensusCramp bitch! It neva eva happen to me before. I've neva had cramps. yesterday was the bloody 1st time. I could not pop pills coz I need it crushed. (not ashamed bout it)

and due to all that. I headed home straight from work. and didnt make it for the meetup. i felt like shit tho. I'm really sorry guys and especially to Tina. How I wish I could make it up to you..

G.F.F Session

What day is today?

I shall not say. Its Tuesday yes I noe.

But again.. its GIRLFRIENDS day!! omg omg!
Can't wait to meet Qistina, Yan, Sher and hopefully Amy.

Saturday Rantings: Shutter Shade

it was way cooler when we put on the ORIGINAL.

Way before it starts selling @ 77 Street or any shops I could remember at Far East Plaza.
All sorts of colour. Colours that not even made available for ORIGINALS.

I didnt put them on. But I admit, I held them couple of times to compare the quality.

Now I regret not taking a pic of it. jus to make a comparison.
Anihoos.

Original
1. Not so light in weight. (Not very plastic quality)
2. Colour limited but has "glow in the dark" (gotta get one!)
3. Labelled Shutter Shade
5. Not as cheap as $12.90. (Price cannot be mention)

Replica
1. Super light in weight Qualiy not so good
2. Colour variation nice (especially the hot pink! damn fark!)
3. Either no label or "made in china"
4. Cheap. As cheap as $12.90

Whatever it is. I love my pink shutter shade. :) Replica comes in light pink too but colour is not so similar when I checked them out yesterday.

Below are some pics of us with our Shutter shades before the replica was out in SG recently.
