We're gonna go to KL including Batu Caves and Ulu Yam if we have enough time, Melaka, Pulau Tioman and Singapore. WOW!
That's definitely a lot to see :D I'm so excited!!!
And I'm going to see Cuci the Musical on Tuesday. I'll be only a few feet away from the stage. WOOOOOOOO
Moto GP
I went to the Moto GP last weekend to accompany my friend Gerardo mostly but I find myself liking the races so much after that. The bikes in the race were cool and the bikes that belong to the people who came for the race were really nice too. I think I might go again next year!!!
One thing that made me mad was that there were no recycling bins at the event at all. With thousands of canned drinks being sold there, I think recycling bins should've been placed all over the circuit. Well I already wrote a letter to the editors at the News Straits Times. We'll see if it gets published. Here's a video of Rossi popping a wheel. Is that how you say it? Enjoy!

Done! Now what??
I finished off the book "My Sister's Keeper" last night at 4am. It's a sad book in general. As you might already know, the movie is out in the theaters in the US so I have seen the trailer. Alec Baldwin plays the lawyer who represented the kid. I just could not stop picturing Alec Baldwin playing that character when I read the book. The character suits his personality so well that I can't imagine anybody else getting the part.
So now what?? What do I read? Oh, there's that book from Hongy about ghosts in Ann Arbor. Well that's definitely not gonna be something I read before going to bed. But till the sun sets, it's a safe bet. LOL. I might even check out the library downtown. According to my mom the parking lot of the library is a little scary. Maybe I should bring pepper spray with me.

Objection Your Honor
It was my first time going to an Islamic Court, or even a court in general. I found it to be entertaining especially because I had a wonderful diarrhea this morning from food poisoning. I bet you had never heard anyone describing diarrhea as wonderful before. LOL.
At the entrance of the court, there were policemen, who enjoyed yelling at me for not covering all my hair. Boo like I care. I was there as a witness, so my mom could get a certificate(Sijil Faraid) that divides my dad's properties among her and my siblings. Well I found out the real purpose of us going there after the hearing. Which made the story even more fun.
I went into the court room, sat in the witness stand. "I, Syazrah bla bla bla bla will tell the truth and nothing but the truth so help me god". Everything was spoken in Malay which made it so awkward.
Judge: Do you know why your mom is here today?
Me: To get a letter that gives her power over my dad's property.
(My mom made a funny face which told me that that was the wrong answer)
In my mind I was going oh sh*t, why are we here?
Me: Mmmmmmm. Mmmmm
Still trying to remember if my mom had told me why we were there. I knew the general purpose but not the exact goal of us being there. I felt like the whole court room was waiting for my answer.
Me: We're here to divide what my dad left behind.
CORRECTO!! I was thinking in English and had to translate this into formal Malay. Came out sounding so dumb.
Judge: Did your dad and his wife from the first marriage got a divorce?
He used a technical term that was in Malay. It was "bercerai hidup" which means getting a divorce while both parties are still alive instead of being divorced by death. Whoaa, didn't know that dying was considered a divorce at all. Of course I found this out after the hearing.
Me: What does "bercerai hidup" mean???
*Judge looked like he was gonna slap me*
Tee hee. Stupid court and stupid judge. I present to you, my stupid answers. That's what you get for making me wait more than an hour.

not so extreme makeover
I got a new full length mirror and a book shelf for my room. This morning my cousins came to take my old desk. They would definitely benefit from it more than I do.
So now my room's a mess. I will put together the book shelf tomorrow and clean up my room again. I will post pictures once it's clean. Yay

$25 of dissapointment
I just finished the book 'The Girl Who Played with Fire" which is the sequel to "The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo". If you know me well, you should know how much I like the first book. I was anticipating the sequel for months and when it came out, I had contemplated on buying it coz it was $25. However, when I was leaving the States, I decided to spend the money and get the book for me to read on the flight.
On the flight, I found movies that I was more interested to watch than reading the book. The movies were dumb. I saw "Night at the Museum 2" and "The Proposal". And now, almost a month after I bought the book, I finally finished it. I was busy with the holiday and all but if it were an awesome book, I'm pretty sure I would've finished it even before Eid.
So basically I was really disappointed in the book. The mystery wasn't as interesting as the first one. There were too many characters and because it was translated from Swedish, all the characters had Swedish names. This confused me a lot.
I can't believe the people at Border's were so excited about this sequel even after they read it. I highly recommend "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" but you should only read the sequel if you can get it for free and you really don't know what to do with your time.
I'm still trying to decide what I should read next. I think it's time to raid my sister's book collection *kick aside all the Harry Potter books*
