I wonder whether there's any truth in this ...hmmmm..
You Are Occasionally a Jerk Magnet |
You've been known to attract real jerky guys from time to time... But the truth is, you know what you're getting into. You can help but love bad boys. |

If only people didn't judge a book by its cover but rather what is inside. My cousin forwarded this to me which I thought was sweet hence I'd like to share this with you.....

This weekend was my last proper 'free' weekend before I start my revision again (insya-allah for the last time)
After this my blog posts may become irregular again......
I was supposed to go to the Ascot races with my work colleagues this weekend but considering I don't bet and weighing that against the option to go to York factory outlet for shopping I opted for the latter.
Meem and I have been wanting to go to York factory outlet since last year but we've been delaying it since it's a long drive up. Finally Bobby, Meem and I decided to do a road trip with Harris, Aunty Tun & Aunty Yok in the weekend
Alhamdulillah, York factory outlet didn't disappoint us...We arrived mid afternoon and were ready to shop! The outlet is indoor which would be great during wintertime away from the rain and the cold. There were a wide variety of brands like Coast, Karen Millen, Ted Baker, Next, Mexx, Nine West, Hackett, Armani and Paul Smith were amongst the few we liked. We shopped until we dropped ..well until the closing time anyways.
Then we headed to Leeds to visit Abg Nas who had recently returned from Malaysia. We met his new little nephew Hakimi who was absolutely adorable and wanted to play with everyone....
I came up with a new 'lil rhyme for the little kid titled 'Cak Cak Cak'.
I might bring it out in a song album one day....hehe not!!
(sorry to those who are reading this and thinking WTF??!! I'm just rambling on in one of my funny moods )
Thanks to Abang Khairy, Kak Huda and Abg Nas for their hospitality and the nasi biryani which was lovely!
After a long day driving and shopping we spent the night in a travelodge between York and Leeds. It was pitch black when we arrived at the travelodge..pretty scary but I think I was too tired to think about anything else apart from getting a good night's sleep.The two drivers for the weekend...looking tired and in need of a good night sleep!
The next day we woke up bright and early to head out to the next factory outlet called the "Junction 32 outlet" which is on..wait for it..yes Junction 32 on the M1! I was excited to go there because it had MNG which is the first factory outlet I've seen in the UK. The outlet was reasonable although I think the guys bought more stuff than we did maybe because there were more choices for them or possibly because we had spent loads more the day before.
Then it was time to head back to York town centre which we didn't manage to cover completely the day before.
My favourite spot in York was the wall monument all around the old town...it reminded me of a small version of the Wall of China.
York is a beautiful town similar to Canterbury and Bath with the distinctive Tudor buildings, Museum gardens and Clifford Tower which stands alone up on the mound. I think it would have been nice to spend a full day there walking along the town centre and taking in the scenery but time wasn't on our side because we had to head back to London that evening.
A tiring, expensive yet enjoyable road trip weekend! :)

Which Sex and the City Character Are You? | |
You are Charlotte. Fairytales were made for you. You've had your share of heartbreak, but that doesn't stop you from opening your heart to others and searching for your happily-ever-after. To some, you may appear naive and your romantic ideals far-fetched, but you know that someday, your Prince will come. | |

Last Friday my uncle a.k.a Ayahyus invited the Nik Clan to celebrate his Company's 15th Anniversary celebration. It was a fun night with a black & red dress theme code. Everyone dressed up following Kak Oleen's tagline "Dressed to Kill" !

Beauty, happiness, pleasure, success, luxury, dissipation.
The Empress is associated with Venus, the feminine planet, so it represents,
beauty, charm, pleasure, luxury, and delight. You may be good at home
decorating, art or anything to do with making things beautiful.
The Empress is a creator, be it creation of life, of romance, of art or business. While the Magician is the primal spark, the idea made real, and the High Priestess is the one who gives the idea a form, the Empress is the womb where it gestates and grows till it is ready to be born. This is why her symbol is Venus, goddess of beautiful things as well as love. Even so, the Empress is more Demeter, goddess of abundance, then sensual Venus. She is the giver of Earthly gifts, yet at the same time, she can, in anger withhold, as Demeter did when her daughter, Persephone, was kidnapped. In fury and grief, she kept the Earth barren till her child was returned to her.

Can we ever be pure good or pure evil and how do people turn from being evil or to being good? How can you define good from evil?
These are some of the questions beneath the glossy exterior and songs from the Wicked Musical currently being shown at the Apollo Victoria theatre which I went to see with my friend Omar last Thursday.
Both of us didn't really know what to expect from the musical except that it had received good reviews and voted one of the best new musicals recently.
We got good circle seats which was a good view. We were lucky considering we bought the tickets on the day.
Wicked is based on the Gregory Maguire novel which focuses on the life of Elphaba and how she became the Wicked Witch of the West in the land of Oz. It is considered to some to be the prequel to the Wizard of Oz.
The musical portrays the story of the misunderstood girl known as Elphaba: her childhood, her friendship with Galinda (who became the Good Witch in the Land of Oz), and how she became the Wicked Witch.
It was an interesting musical and cleverly portrayed in terms of how the characters we meet from Elphaba's life became the familiar characters we are used to seeing in the Wizard of Oz. It's also quite heartening to see how a misunderstood girl is mistreated just for being different and having her own views on life.
The only minor negative point I have about the musical is that the music wasn't that memorable but I don't think it really mattered because the story is strong enough to make the musical a success. The star of the night was without a doubt Elphaba who acted and sang magnificiently.
I would recommend everyone to watch it. Thanks for the treat dude! The musical has even prompted me to buy the novel which I am reading at the moment. :)
