Karok, Karaoke, Kareoke

well well well.

- is duffy's new song. have you heard it yet? hehehehe!

anyway! i've been MIA from the cyberworld for quite some time. so i apologise to those who have been contacting me via facebook, twitter, chatbox, and comments.
it's not that i'm being a diva or anything, i just have been extremely busy with work and everything else!
plus my laptop crashed, so i had to rely on my phone.
huhu..

sorry ya y'all.

if you really need to contact me, perhaps you could tweet me at @mariaelenazarul
insyallah i'll try to reply my soonest!

*ehem*so i made a video. bahahahaha!! (nervous laugh okayh)
it's just some random topic that went through my head at the time.

i don't know if you notice it as i have, but i realised that a looooootttttt of people LOVE karaoke-ing! or cara orang melayu kate, karok.
kan kan kannnn??

ramai kot suka karok!

tapi saya tidak sangat.. hence this video. tak tau la if ada orang feel the same way about this as i do.
hehehehe!! =B

Note that i DON'T mean to offend anyone when making this video!
chill ek! hehe!! =D it's just my perspective. heeee!




again, i'm sorry if i offended anyone. sowiiieeeeee!!! (attempt nak buat cute)
also!! sorry if i've been sombong for the past few-i-dont-know-how-long. i just have been really busy trying to survive =) --- try to understand that i'm working now. not just lepaking. though i'd love to. hehe!

thank you for watching!

jom chill.

Budak hingusan bajet cool tapi tak cool langsung

years ago, back when OU (One Utama) was still on one wing, i was a cute lanky pengawas from SMKDU. yeah you bettah be proud of me okeyh SMKDU!

anyway, then, on some weekends i would meet up with my friends there and we walk around as if we're cool or something padahal budak hingusan with greasy hair and no sense of style and of course, no DSLRs or cameras. our phones were merely nokia 3310 with polyphonic ringtones. tu pun macam bajet awesome gila.
muahahaha!! kelakar lak reminiscing my old self!

so this one fine Sunday, my friends and i did everything. we went window shopping, watched a movie, we ate, we walked, we laughed, etc etc. we usually take the whole day to chill out. which was weird, now i think about it.. OU was small then.. what da heck did we really do??
hmm..

my mom had to pick me up, usually. (thanks mom!)
and when my mom reaches the taxi stand, where i always have to meet her at, she would call and tell me as annoyed as she could possibly sound
"Ena, mama kat sini dah. cepat!"
"ok jap jap!"
"heishhh! banyak kete la! cepat!!"

with that tone of urgency and annoyance, i would always feel guilty thus i would quickly bid my goodbyes and dash asap to the taxi stand, which is at the end of the world. ok hyperbola. it's far la.

back to this one fine Sunday! after getting The Call, i was at the taxi stand looking for mom's car.
when i found it, i immediately ran towards it, opened the door, sat down, and closed the door.

then i looked at my mom.

except she wasn't my mom.
it was a chinese lady and she looked as confused as i was.

i asked her
"saya salah kereta ah?"
to which she answered with a nod with her brows raised in amazement. i think she was amazed at how i could still stay in her car and asked her a question. i was amazed too!

so i said sorry like a million times while opening the door, climbing out of the car and closed the door.
i hope she got the point. that i was sorry.

so i looked for my mom's ACTUAL car. when spotted, i ran towards it like crazy, with a crazy grin on my face (because laughing in public wasn't cool then), and when i was in the car, my mom was already laughing like crazy!
we both just laughed and laughed about it!

so yeah!

since, i always check the plate numbers before entering a car. or at least get eye contact with someone familiar in the car before i start hijacking god-knows-who's car.


teeeheee!!
peace!

Heliza Helmi and Hana Tajima are awesome!

alhamdulillah i have been given the chance to meet these two lovely ladies! and along the way, i've made new friends!! weeee! =D

Heliza Helmi and Hana Tajima! hehehee! 

you should check out the updates about our meet ups with these ladies from:

Yana, Shea, Yanny, Cik Epal, Ami Schaheera, Shahirah Elaiza, Gee Jah, Nadia Bayu who have been more rajin than me. nyehehehe! 

meeting up with these ladies made me nervous. but i think my way of having jitters is different than my friends.

i tend to chatter up like nobody's business.

sometimes my brain works slower than my mouth!

there were times where i felt embarrassed after accidentally blurting out nonsense. 

for example;

me: Helizaaa ni tomey la! (suara baby please) heliza mata besaaaaa!
Heliza: mata awak pun besyaaaa!
me: tapi mata saya original!

aisehhhh!!! i wanted to say something like my eyes are big but my iris isn't! in case you don't understand what the heckkkk i'm talking about, heliza kan pakai contact lense, so her iris is enhanced la kira. but the way i said it, sounded SO WRONGGGGG!! after that, i didn't know how to recover myself, so i just distract ourselves by taking pictures. damn u mars.

with Hana, i did that too!

me: hey why don't you make a tutorial on how you were your hijab like this!
Hana: yeah i'm planning to!
me: yeah, you should! then i can learn from your tutorial and make one but with my style.

WAT DAAA?!?!?!

i don't know about you, but that sounded soooooooo cocky to the point i thought i should slap myself hard!

i wanted to say something like "i love your style so much! my hijab style was inspired by you! so if you make a tutorial for this new style (refer to our pic above), then i'll definitely learn it!" about me making a tutorial, was NOT my intention at all!! i don't know why i blurted it out.

aisehhhhh..

one of the many things i hate about myself, is that i'm sooooo chatty that sometimes i talk about things i never thought of, or talk about random stuff. i realised i did it for the sake of talking, you know? so that it wouldn't feel so awkward.

i hope hope hope that they weren't offended! i was merely star-strucked!

haih.. sedih..

but apart from my mulut terabur ni, i had fun =) Heliza and Hana were really sweet, kind, fun, and gorgeous ladies! to put it simply:

the "H" ladies.

are.

AWESOME.

thank you so soooo much for giving us normal people the opportunity to be with you awesomes! hehehe!

yes, i am a star-strucked bimbo.

peace!

ps: i don't know if you've noticed. in both pics, i was wearing the same inner: maysaa snood which i bought HERE! i love it soooo much that i wear it when i go out to meet people. hehe! best! =D

Second hand drivers

this past few weeks have been tough for me, physically, mentally and emotionally.
and my stress level have been up many notches to the point i felt like i should just buy a flight ticket to New Zealand and go skydiving.
but alas, i can't. banyak la sangat duit i kan. hahaha! aaaaand running away from all this problems won't solve anything. an escapism wouldn't make all the stress less stressful.
so i cope.
i get on with life. i face what needs to be faced, and alhamdulillah, i feel like i'm back again =D

boleh hurray? hurray laaa!
hehe!

so yeah, i've been holding back from making videos because i need to gather myself.
now that i'm a working person, i can't afford to get attached to the internet. reality is, i have so many responsibilities and commitments to handle.

but but buuuuuuut, if i live on with life thinking of all my commitments and stuff, it'll be too boring!

and so, here's a video for you drebars(drivers) and second hand drebars! TIBA TIBA! but yeah, i thought i should share this because i, as a driver, often hate driving because of this! kan best ada orang volunteer to drive me around everywhere.. hehehehehe!!! =B






ps: DON'T TEXT OR CALL WHILE DRIVINGGGGGGG!!!!!

currypuff rocks!

not makcik, matured!

i've been teaching these 2 sisters for the past month. they're very funny and hyper! though sometimes it had been a challenge to get their attention on the lessons.. but i love them =D

anyway, last week, i wore the sarung-on tudung, the syria with awning. i HARDLY EVER wear this type of hijab but due to circumstances (i was too lazy to belit and i was late) i had to! so at the class, my student, Kakak, asked me "Teacher, is this your first time wearing this?" pointing at my tudung.

"ummm, first time wearing it here la. why?"

"you look very different" said Kakak.

"how different? good or bad different?" i asked.

"ummm..........................*squint eyes* nothing nothing" said Kakak with a sly smile.

so i let it go and resume on our lesson. yes, i'm an English tutor. heeee..

yesterday i had a class with her little sister, and i was wearing my usual shawl.
Kakak came to us at the study table when she saw me and said "haaa.. tak pakai tudung makcik daaaa. baru okeh!"

in conclusion, i look like a makcik wearing this:

makcik much? 

teeheee!!!

oh btw, i think Niga Higa made this video for me as well.


hahahahahaha! thanks Niga Higa! how u know my blog means weird ek? =p
