I think I have been weird. I’m trying to approach new people I am not supposed to. On the other hand, I keep forgetting people around me, who already belong to me, or who used to belong to me and actually still does (in perhaps a different way). I am speaking of friends, boyfriends, well you know these kinds of people. When I think I am left alone and have nobody to speak and nothing to do (hence the sudden and weird keep-yourself-busy stuff), I have actually got many many things I have kept aside for long.
I have some long-delayed letters to write. Many emails to reply. But I don’t feel like doing. Since October I did not actually lose contact with Ado, but with many of my friends. I feel so lazy to write about what has happened, it’s sure thing. Why did I quit job? Why did I go to do Hajj in a sudden? It’s a long story now I don’t even know where to start. So I leave it just like that. Lalalala.. *rolls eyes*. I feel hopeless. Maybe the shortcut: ask them come and read this blog and at least you’ll get 50% of the idea about the heaven and hell of these few months to me. But I don’t like my friends to read this blog, as much as I don’t like my family to. Haih.
Just now I was chatting with one of my UIA classmates who’s now still in there doing Masters. Though we were quite close back then, I haven’t spoken to her since the convocation day. I asked her about referee thing to do Postgraduate studies.
A: What makes you want to do Masters in a sudden?
I: Coz I quit my job
A: Whyyyyy??
I: …
Hence the long stories. I don’t know how many times I have repeated the same stories every time I chatted again with my old friends. Sigh. So tired. And many of them didn’t even know about me dating Ado in the first place because when I was in UIA I was very good at covering up :P Maybe only Lenya whom I have told 80% of everything. And Isuma half. I didn’t want people to know because I knew from the beginning it wouldn’t work :P :P
And now the far away friends. Maybe I’ll just print out some papers looking like tabloid newspapers with all the news and tragedy happening since October, make like 5 copies and distribute them away. The headline should write, “HOT! ILYANI LEFT KL AND BF, WENT TO DO HAJJ, QUIT JOB AND NOW WANTS TO STUDY AGAIN! Full stories page 2-20″ And make PDF version for those contacted by emails. Heh. Thing is I just don’t feel like writing it in the first place. Bleh.
It’s 1.30 am and I’m blogging craps again. I should be sleeping.
Guess what I have been up to?

Okay, don’t judge me please, but finally I didn’t delete imajication.wordpress.com. But have successfully transformed it into a postcards blog yay :D *happy sigh* Perhaps this is an obvious proof that I really have nothing else to do at the moment. Anyways. Go and have a look there! And leave comment!
Disaster part 2
25 January 2009 at 11:56 pm (Whatever)
Streamyx is down! At least in my area (?) the whole day I keep trying like hell to get connected since this morning. And tonight still cannot :( And it’s during Chinese New Year?! Or something suddenly gets wrong with my device? No I am sure it’s been all okay.. haih. This is me using Celcom broadband (borrowed..). Okay, no internet for one day doesn’t hurt much. But no internet for one day when lately you just have nothing to do but put all your life there, the world can simply end here.
Why ah I got this feeling that lately I keep writing rubbish in this blog. Whatever lah.
Happy Chinese New Year. I hope I can find a lion dancing in the town one of these days.
Disaster!
24 January 2009 at 11:48 pm (Postcrossing, Whatever)
I am the only Postcrosser in my family! Is it a good news? No! They don’t like my hobby! They’re not supportive at all! When I was living in hostel or my room in KL before, every time I came home I always had really hard time finding every potential spot of where they kept/threw/left my postcards to! My postcards were everywhere – in the living room, inside drawer (any drawer it could be!), on any table, sometimes in the kitchen too. Sigh.
And! I was away for 1.5 months to Saudi Arabia. When I first reached home I found 2 places where my postcards were grouped in, thankfully. I thought that’s all the postcards which had arrived during my absence. BUT today – after 3 weeks(!) – somehow I found like 12 cards more inside a tiny box I didnt expect that my postcards would be kept in there! :( I just feel bad to those senders who think I have not yet received the cards or just don’t bother to notify. Gosh, and especially official cards! =_= I am sorry for not having searched them hardly.
End of rants.
All about Eve
22 January 2009 at 6:25 pm (Going Hajj, Photos)
Jabal Rahmah
Jabal Rahmah or “Mount of mercy” in Arafat, about 20km from Makkah, is believed to be the place where the first man created by God, Prophet Adam, met again his spouse, Hawa (or the Westerners refer as Eve) after hundreds years being separated after they were expelled from Heaven and sent to earth as a punishment of eating the forbidden fruit. Adam is believed to have landed in some place which is now India, and Hawa in the Arabian peninsula. Well, at least that’s what I’ve been told, though this wikipedia says (under Islamic tradition) they were sent to Safa and Marwah mountain peaks, respectively. Nevermind that, but for their reunion, everyone seems to agree that it was in Arafat. In Jabal Rahmah to be precise, and maybe that’s why there’s been that white monument on top of the peak as long as I can remember, and millions of people are visiting this peak every year. Plus, they traditionally believe that this is a sacred place where someone’s prayers – specifically with intention to meet a soulmate – will be granted. Or for their marriage to be forever blessed and strong, well, things like that.
Arafat
Imagine that this rocky hill was the place where Adam and Hawa met after having missed each other so much, most probably continued with kissing and making love on the very mountain afterwards. Heh. I didn’t have time or interest to climb up the hill as others did, though. It’s rather high and rocky and my legs weren’t very strong for this purpose I might finally fell down before I can meet my soulmate LOL.
Hawa's grave
And the story about Hawa in Saudi Arabia didn’t end in Arafat only. In another trip session, we went to Jeddah, the port city located near the Red Sea. This is where Hawa is believed to have been resting in peace, somewhere in the middle of the city. Jeddah itself is said to be named after her (Jeddah is Arabic word for grandmother). Hawa’s grave is a quite a huge fenced area and it’s one of the proofs that earliest human being used to be really, really huge. It’s just incredible anyway, to have a look at the resting place of the second human being ever existed on earth. No, make it the FIRST woman ever existed :)
Hawa's grave square entrance(?)
Hi grandmother, you rock! Yeah.

Još ponekad poželim da ti dotrčim i zagrlim te.. ali bih uvidjela da moje noge ostale vezane za tlo.
Hello Mr President
20 January 2009 at 11:10 pm (General)
I am among the unlikely people to write about Barrack Obama. But I just couldn’t help sharing this forum link with you while I’m here ROFLMAO. The thread title seriously translates to: “Hot news! Barrack Obama’s visit to Kuala Lumpur and the newspapers didn’t report about it!”
Yeah right. *still LOLing*
To take a step further
20 January 2009 at 12:17 am (Life)
I’m thinking of going back to school to do postgraduate studies. Hehe. Not funny. Well yeah it might be the last thing I would consider doing after those longest 4 years in UIA. But before I knew it, it’s now almost the time I have to consider this last thing. It’s so much a pain in the arse to think that I’ll be able to get a decent job here in my hometown. I don’t wanna live the rest of my life doing nothing like an idiot. This is almost pathetic. Though I don’t like classes, at least it’s fun to meet people. And I will learn something more. So I’ve been looking at graduate studies programmes sites of UKM, and USM, and maybe UTHM too. And good news, Mama seems to be very supportive when I told her my so-called intention to further studies.
In the meantime, Mama wants me to be a replacement teacher (again, yuck) in her school for 2 months since a teacher is going to have maternity leave soon. Last year I was teaching Postcrossing to the kids when I was supposed to teach Islamic History. And now when I have to teach Civic studies, what do I end up teaching them? ToyVoyagers maybe.
Say hello to Haris
18 January 2009 at 3:13 pm (ToyVoyagers)
Hi, my name is Haris
My current best friend. I got him from MidValley July last year and was thinking of sending him travel as ToyVoyager but he was too cute I didn’t want to lose him that early so he’s been staying forever in my car. Now that I have got plenty of time to spend, I’ve managed to take some pictures and updated his profile. Let me know if you’d like him to visit you :) (just be sure you be nice to him and will not lose him!!)
