Drum Rolls Please!

I have another post about food but I guess food has been conquering the space lately, I think I should give it a rest ;)

After waking up yesterday morning I was really anxious to find out what I've gotten for my fifth semester. It was nerve-wrecking, heart thumping, jaw dropping, eye-popping and other imaginable words you could use to describe your feeling when you're about to receive anything that would change part or your entire life!

And of course there would be drum rolls. Real or imaginable :p

The drum rolls that are leading as you get to know your life-changing moment. Some may be slow, just a slow thump. Some might be a heart racing one. It differs to each and everyone.

Mine was more like the first one. It was Friday so I had the slightest hope that it would bring me a little bit of luck.

First, I checked the student portal. The 'Examination Result' was still missing since the day before. On the middle section of the portal told me that the result is available at 9am. They also said result will be emailed to students.

During that my Facebook tab was open (as it would always have :p) and one of my friends commented that she checked her results through her email.

So to my email I go and it was there and........................ *drum rolls*

I've maintained and it was the highest GPA I've gotten! :D

Wootwoot!

Definitely a happy girl for the whole day :D

One more semester to go and InsyaAllah I will try to get the VC Award, Amin :)

ps: I can't sleep so I decided to write this down :p

Reslut

No, that's not a typo. I'm super scared with my result since the 5th sem *%)#)^*# to me

T_________T

I think this was the hardest semester through out my 5 semester (one more semester left!) and part of it was because I was unorganized :(

Ye lah, ye lah my fault too :(

But it wasn't only me, the assignments are super hard too! For the first time, I had to make or 'shoot' a video clip with my (AWESOME) group mates for our assignments!

Hell yeah we did Ning Baizura's Awan Yang Terpilu xD But who knows prolly it'll be one of the alternative video clip to the song no? ;)

Bab-bab ni best la sikit :D Bunyi orang 'shooting' (bukan tembak okayyy, rakam ye rakam) je rase mega xD

It was just a music video clip we did for out Audio Visual class :D

We had to properly organize our time for the scenes wanted in our video clip. The place, the settings, the timing, the lighting and all those stuff. We even have our very own STORYBOARD!

This is a must in every production that takes place as it would help the production team to know things needed in every scene ;)

Now now back to results. Well it's due this FRIDAY!

T______________________________________T

Can I NOT look at it for the first few days after it is out? :(

Purr-fume

If you have not heard this, it's okay.

Katy Perry launched her first perfume, Purr! It was launched early last month. I was going to post this but have not gotten around to do it since I was busy with my finals -___-

The bottle is so pweetty! :D Diamonds, cat-shaped and purple of course it'll grab my attention! Unfortunately it is only available in the US, specifically Nordstrom.

On the Nordstrom website it says,

Purr by Katy Perry eau de parfum begins with the aroma of peach nectar and forbidden apple, evolves with a distinct floral bouquet of jasmine blossom, Bulgarian rose and vanilla orchid, and slowly reveals accents of creamy sandalwood and musk. Like the singer herself, Purr is playful yet sophisticated. Katy Perry transcends barriers with her music—so does her new fragrance.

The perfume is available in 30ml, 50ml and 100ml and retails at $45-65.

The print ad for Katy Perry's Purr perfume

I envy you US residents! :(

But for now I would appreciate it if someone would give me a bottle or a set of Vera Wang's Princess ;D

I have been in love with the perfume since I first smell it few years ago and now I wonder why didn't I get it any sooner? O.o

 Is it just me or does anyone realize I'm liking perfumes in purple? O.O

Hello December

Oh my gosh! It's December already?! O.O

Now time is going REALLY REALLY fast.

It is already the third week of my holiday and boy oh boy I think I have been enjoying too much food *gulps*

But it is soooooo mouth-watering how can I stand it? Look at these foods that welcomes me from my stressful days at university :D

WARNING! You will have a possibility of drooling over the pictures and will probably ask your mom to cook for it too or  you will try to cook it yourself but ended up being burnt and your last resort will be buying from some restaurant! 

TEEHEE!

*dontsayididntwarnyou*

Masak Lemak Ketam!

The super soft rice with added soy sauce and the gravy  :D

I opted to have this with a crispy salad and fresh tomatoes with a little bit of tomato sauce (tomato on tomato :p).

The crab was super nice! I literally ate all the gravy on the crab and thank God Mama bought big crabs with lots of meat inside :D

My dinner on the the first day of holiday! :D 

*om nom nom nom*

Mama also decided to be extra rajin to try new recipes when I started my holiday. Okay blame Mama too if I gain weight during the holidays -___-

This is one of the recipes she found in the internet. You see, Mama is suddenly fond of going to other people's blog just to find recipes she can try and I swear to you she has been comparing her production of food with my other aunts.

Okay. That what stay at home moms do when they are bored.

This is Brownies Kukus dengan Keju or Steamed Brownies with Cheese :D Inspired by Mama's friend when she brought us some of hers.

Mama's first attempt at the brownie!

The brownie was soft and spongy and the cheese did not taste super creamy (which I love). You can opt to choose creamier cheese but since I am not exactly fond of cheese, Mama decided to make it less cheesy.

Then comes Raya Korban and of course there will be food :D 

Mama decided to cook Nasi Briyani with Ayam Briyani and Acar. A simple food for the family and does not take much time.

For the Acar, Mama mixed up vinegar, salt and sugar and we used pineapple, carrot, cucumber, red onions and red chillies for a hint of spiciness :D

Delicious Acar

Ayam Briyani :)

Nasi Briyani

It was really delicious that I had two servings of it for lunch and another serving for dinner! O.O

I am really going to gain weight!

Atok having his Nasi Briyani!

Ps: Would someone tell me why does blogger makes the pictures to turn out in weird sizes if it is not edited or if it's too big it'll just come out big? O.O It's a hassle and I do really like the old version. Easy and it compresses the photo without me having to edit it first.

HP 7

HO JYEAH!


I've watched the 7th installment of the Harry Potter series last Thursday with my sisters and cousin and it was awesome :D


The movie did not need a lot of building up since it is the last part of the Potter series and the peak of the movie is the entire movie itself!


Anyways, I'm officially on a holiday and will return back to M-Land next year for my final semester as a diploma student. This means more posts! :D


Yes, time flies really fast and without realizing it is already almost the end of the year. Some may think it is sad to leave the year but at this point I am happy.


Why so? Ahem because it's the time for SALE!!!


I will be seeing my dad next week for some father-daughter bonding time aka shopping-time :p


Which reminds me I a little something that I managed to get last week and I will definitely show you.

I Am Not Dead

Just to let you know ;)

And to refresh you memories that I love make-up, here is the latest video from my favourite make-up artist TiffanyD. :D

Weddings.....

........always gets me. I am a sucker for romantic stuff be it cliche or just uber extraordinary.

You can often see my eyes totally drown in tears whenever I attend a wedding. Few months ago while reading proudduck's blog (as an everyday routine :p), she posted about her friend, Nana and Syafiq's, reception and I was in awe with the setting of the reception.

Everything looks perfect and I SUPER LOVE the bride's wedding dress :D

Few days ago, my roommate was googling some ideas for our assignment and she came across a video of a wedding and showed it to me (were you even looking for ideas, roomie? :p).

Maybe it was a girl's instinct or it was just my memory catching up with the graphics that I pointed out it was proudduck's friend's wedding!

My eyes were totally drown in tears to see the couple looking super sweet (cue: awwwwww.......). In my mind I was totally screaming 'I WANT THAT KIND OF WEDDING TOO!'.

This will be my dream wedding :D

If you don't believe me, check out the video :) It is produced by manggis.tv.

The Akad Nikah itself is already mind-blowing let alone the reception. Ahhhh....I feel like it's a fairytale :)

Ps: The picture is only a screenshot as proudduck has copyrighted her images and it is just wrong to steal other people's photographs.

Pitch

I am here to rant, yes, you read that right. If you are not in the mood to read some moody stuff please go somewhere else.

I have not had any rants for quite some time and sometimes it is not good to let it eat up yourself. Therefore I think it is time for me to let it out.

For those of you who had known me for quite some time, I have a loud voice. Seriously.

I do try to control them but most of the time others would tell me to just shut up. I do not exactly show my feelings to others but only to those who are close to me.

I silence myself as I do not want to pick a fight but when I feel it is the right time you will see my true feelings.

I am writing this down as someone who I see almost everyday has been 'complaining' about my loudness. You see, I have been 'skyping' with my loved ones and when I talk to them I tend to lose my control on the loudness of my voice.

I really, really, really had try to control it when the person is around me but I expect the person to tell me to shut up and not put their feelings on Facebook or other publishing sites.

I would have definitely and totally prefer if someone who is not happy with me to tell it straight to me and not cowardly talk it 'behind my back'.

If the person I am talking about is reading this, I would like you to say it to me face-to-face and I mean it. It would not have hurt me if you say it to me earlier but it hurts that you would rather speak it up to others and not to me.

Right now it is your call.

Eid

I want to wish all of my readers 'Selamat Hari Raya!' :D

I know it's really late to wish you but I have been extremely busy with my assignments, open houses and friends flying off to continue their studies (okay, I super envy to those who gets to study abroad :( ).

I also want to use this opportunity to wish my mom a very HAPPY BIRTHDAY to the awesome-est Mama in the whole wide world, my Mama!! :D

I'm happy to say my Mama has lived for 50 years! :D I love you Mama and no one can replace you :)

Happy Raya from Zazer! xD

Ramadhan :)

I just can't believe that it's Ramadhan again. How fast did time fly?

Being able to get back home for Ramadhan is such an amazing feeling. When I reached home yesterday, just when I was about to enter my house I can feel the moment where I know Ramadhan is really here.

This is the first time I'm feeling it and I tell you it's amazing :D

Although I did not exactly welcome Ramadhan since I just had my time-of-the-month along side with my big sister :(

Anyways, for those who are fasting and yes, that includes ALL GUYS Happy Ramadhan! May it be a month of blessings and time to start collecting your deeds :D

Updates

After my last post, I've come to realized that I've been neglecting my bloggy. I hardly post any topic near enough to what is currently happening in my life. To make this up, I shall share you what I've been up to these past few weeks! :D

Let's start with how I am now a semester 5 Masscomm student! Yeay! I always have a thought on how it was going to be a long winding road finishing my diploma years but in the end time comes by fast and suddenly I'm in my final year.

All those sleepless night, rushing in to send in all the assignments before the dateline, the journey back home and of course, the issue on staying outside. Let me clear that issue if you may let me do so.

I have settled in a semi-D house about 10 minutes from my campus. It's a nice neighbourbood and with other 7 housemates it's a fun house :)

The only trouble is I do not have my own transportation and I have been bugging my house mates by asking them to send me to class and picking me up after class ends. This has caused a tiny, wee bit, itsy bitsy problem and I hope to find a solution soon (ahemahemmeansacarformeahemahem). Okay, no. It's not a tiny bit of a problem. It's huge but I'm waiting for some miracle and yes, that involves buying a car :P

For those who are interested in what subject I am taking this semester I am going to spill it now. All in all I have 6 subjects that I'm taking this semester and all of them are pretty hard. I'll make a list for you rather than type it in a sentence so you little stalkers won't have a hard time to list them down and paste it on your wall just to see in which class I'll be in.

BRO 331 Audio and Video Production

COM 361 Introduction to Communication Research

COM 362 Principles of Marketing

ETR 300 Fundementals of Entrepreneurship

PRO 321 Event Management in Communication

PUB 351 Multimedia Design and Production

There are only two new lecturers that I'll be seeing (PUB 351 and PRO 321) as they have not taught me, like ever, during my days as a Masscomm student. Out of all subjects, I dreaded COM 361 or Comm Research as I always say it.

Why so? Well, it's because the class is all about how to make the perfect research in which I'm not exactly keen on learning it. Plus the subject itself is quite dry. No matter how you want to make it interesting, it just bores me to death or to sleep. That's more like it :P

Anyways, lets move on to food! :D

Yes, yes I know you prefer to see all the pictures of food but I'm going to limit it this time. I will have another post on the latest dining places I've been to :)

Ps: I was having steamboat with my family to thank Allah because Atok's surgery went well. He's fully recovered now :)

Lights

I've spent last night losing my sleep because of Ellie Goulding and I really appreaciate it :D

If you have never heard of Ellie Goulding, click here to refresh those memories :D

I have just heard her whole album and she is currently my favourite on my playlist. Ellie Goulding is starting to make me love Electro-pop just like Goldfrapp did to me.

One particular thing that I really like about Ellie is that she sounds the same live :D That is a big plus for me :D

Anyways, enjoy one of my favourite songs from her 'I'll Hold My Breath' :)

So Near Yet So Far

Everyone knows this thing called L-O-V-E.

Yes, I'm talking about love.

It comes to you in various ways and sometimes in ways that you'd never expect them to come to you. One might search for it and one would rather sit and wait til the right person comes and drag them of on a shiny white stead.

It might surprise you or you just had seen it coming all along but are waiting for that person to make a move.

Or you might want to risk it all and brave up to tell that person that you like or love them.

Hey, a relationship does not always start with a straight 'I Love You' phrase. In our modern world, it might start with a simple comment on Facebook or a text message asking for something random.

It will then develop into a daily text that you unexpectedly feel anxious to get them. Or even waiting beside your handphone, counting the clock ticking until the next text message comes.

If you are lucky, you might end up going out with them or the other way round.

Alas, in the situation that my friend were in goes a little bit like the above but what happens when the person you are texting and going out with is your best friend's ex?

Oh I know what you're thinking. 'It's not right', 'Doesn't it feel awkward?', 'Why would you want to date with your best friend's ex?! O.O' and 'Don't you read the unwritten rule of the dating world?! >:('.

Ok, I just made up the last one :P Hehe

Before I go further, let's just say my friend is 'A' and her best friend is 'B'

In A's situation, B had clearly said that B's okay with A dating with B's ex. So what is the problem?

Well, B's ex find it weird and wrong to be dating A. So B's ex told A that he can't date A and suddenly the ex deleted his Facebook account and dissappeared out from the sight.

I can show you stuffs to prove that B is completely fine with her BFF dating with her other ex but obviously because of certain reasons I can't.

One thing's for sure is one of B's BFF is currently dating one of B's exes :O

And why B is so okay with her BFF dating her other exes is because she's got her head up on cloud 9 with other guys :P

Another interesting thing is B's ex never told A that he likes her and A had never even mentioned that she likes him (or maybe they did not realize that they have feelings for each other).

As I said before, things happen in a way you never expect them to be whether you've seen it ahead or it holds you with surprise.

I am waiting to see what happens next in A's life. Would B's ex finally realize that B is okay with it and be with A or will he try to hide his feelings from her and regret it later?

Competent :D

Yes! I finally changed my driver's license from 'Probation' aka 'P' to the normal driver's license or formally known as Competent :D

I cannot believe that it has been two years since I've had my probationary license and now my mom finally has asked me a few times to drive her around :P

Mom: Izzah, nak drive? (Izah, do you want to drive?)
Me: Ma malas nak drive eh? :P (You're becoming a big fat lazy bum eh? :P)

Haha!

I didn't exactly say that second part though :P

Ahah!

Anyways, I'm going out to look for any available jobs with my sister. It has been five days of holiday and I'm f***ing bored :(

MGM

It stands for Mystery Guitar Man.

I have been watching his videos and had a good laugh but this video made me think how much time he spent doing it.

O.o

128 music tracks and 52 video tracks?

WOAH!

And he said that it takes him 12 hours just to make the music! O.O

Anyways, just watch it :D



ps: I made most of my post as an RSS feed thingy which means that whenever I post something on Blogspot it will turn up in my Facebook as a note. Unfortunately any YouTube videos that I put up in my bloggy won't turn up in FB so head over to my blog http://purrplebells.blogspot.com to watch it :)

home :)

Well, I'm not officially home yet but I will be today (again, it's after 12 am so it's considered Sunday already :P)!!

I know I should focus on my Advert paper but then home is calling me! My mom called me and asked what time she should be here :P

Me love mommy :D

Anyways, back to that crappy Advert notes that I spent three days working on :S

Wish me luck :)

Willwritelater XP

ummm

Three papers down and two more to go!

*wootwoot*

And yes, I have forgotten to tell you what paper I'm sitting for finals XP My bad.

I'm taking:

LIB 202 Issues in Modern Malaysia
PUB 251 Publishing and Media Design
ECO 101 Principles of Economy
ADV 241 Advertising
BRO 231 Broadcasting

First three done :D

So far it's okay but I can't guarantee if I can get A+ for it. InsyaAllah and god willing He may help me :P

Okay I'm really hoping for that xP

Anyways, I'm going back this Sunday which is in three days (it's after 12 so it's considered Thursday :P).

Aaaaaannnndddd..... a special packaging is waiting for me at home. My mom called me and told me the 'thing' that I wanted arrived this yesterday :D

I promise you I'll show it to you once I get my hands on it *jumpsforjoy*

By the way, have you ever chat with someone and sometimes they seem to take forever to reply and when they do you're thinking whether you should reply it later because you don't want that person to see that he/she is the only one you're talking to?

Ahah!

That was a long question :P

So yeah, do you?

Starry Eyed - Ellie Goulding

One of my favourites songs :)

It loves me so much it got stuck in my head for days :P

She won the Critics Choice Award at the 2010 BRITt Awards recently and she was definitely awesome! :D

This was her performance during the BRIT Awards Launch Party. Enjoy!



Ps: I love the British flag at the back and her outfit! Me loves glitter! :D
