But I still Love to have you around
Woo Hoo! I went for Gwen Stefani last night. My god it was a hugely stressful day. I had to run from one class to another then back home then to the train station. Crap.
Anyway, Gwen was supercool! However, I personally think Beyonce's concert was better because of her singing skills and awesome band. But then again, Gwen made up for it with her enthusiasm, cuteness and her willingness to sing amongst the crowd. Not many Divas will bother running up and down aisles or climbing up rails just so she can interact with her fans. RESPECT!
We were dancing like energizer bunnies everytime her dance songs came on. Yamud over gile plis. Thank god the girls behind us were cool enough to stand up and dance as well. Im pretty sure everyone had a blast judging from the grins on our faces and the hyperness after the show.
My fave part of the show would probably be when she sang 'The Real Thing' and dedicated it to her son. OMG. I was sitting there in the dark listening to her sweet lyrics and I kept imagining her singing it to her son. Yes, I believe by the first chorus I already felt the tears streaming down my face.
I guess I've never really had someone explain to me the love between a mother and her child. I know that it's unconditional, how else can you describe a relationship that replies TLC with soiled diapers and sleepless nights? I think adult relationships are never unconditional even if they are adamant about it being so because all adults have demands and expect something in return even if just a little. :D. Owh and love between adults CAN end but a love for ones own kids will NEVER subside. As gwen puts it, 'and it's not just a phase'.
So this mother-child relationship got through to me by means of Gwen's lyrics. It's quite hard to explain what I felt when I heard it. I just imagined how much mothers loved their kids, right from the day they were born, no matter how tired they are, no matter how much they get pissed off. I wondered if i will feel these same emotions (if not magnified) once I get my own kids, my own 'Love Supply'. :)
Of course I thought of my own mom: remembering her wiping my feverish body with a wet towel in the middle of the night, her hugging me when I couldn't sleep even when she had work in the next 4 hours. All those snapshots of me as a baby in her arms flashing through my head made me tear up even more. *sigh*
I love you loads mom. I realise how hard it is for you to have let me go far away. I know now why it's hard for you to watch me be ungrateful, how much it hurts when someone you love SO SO much break your heart. Im so sorry mom. I never really meant to do so, I hope you understand. Thanks for everything mom, you've always been there for me. Hugs and Kissessssss!!!
Exercise your right to have brownies
I am elated. I've got my own copy of the latest Harry Potter novel. Woo Hooooo! It really is quite exciting as people have said even though I've only reached chapter 4. Huhu. Can't wait to read more!
So today has been quite fulfilling. Had lots of girl talks. Even with Roy who technically isn't a girl, but his topic of choice was pretty much what girls tell each other anyway. ;). Had my alone time in the city (haven't had one of those in a long time). Purchased my Harry Potter and Reese's. Got lotsa nice food (I hate being broke). Walked from QVB to Newtown. Thats pretty much from OU to my house (budget je...skali salah..down). Had hot choccie while reading HP. *sigh*. if only i could live this way for the next few weeks at least. :D
I'm saving up my thoughts for the next post. Right now Im too tired to string my words together. Goodnight peeps.
Lets ride the Carousel off into the Sunset
Crud. Thus ends the winter break. Back to classes, assignments and tests. God, I am so freaking out coz this semester I have 4 tough subjects and two packed days. Im so afraid I'll stumble somewhere and fail a paper or two. Serious takut gile.
Anyway, rewind back a little. Winter Break was the Shiznit! Gold Coast was superbly awesome. Even though I'm not a huge fan of thrill rides, I was pretty happy with the kiddie rides (bukan mcm carousel okay daddy...rollercoasters but for kids). And I got to feed them kangaroos! and baby goats n lambs....sooooo cuuuuuuuuuuuuuteeeeeeeeeee!!! Im pretty broke now though. Down~.
I admit I was pretty cranky during the trip. Im really really sorry. Im gona try and change that. Its pretty hard. Ive been cranky all my life (thus earning the nickname Crank frm my besties). I dont know if I should explain myself here. I think I was mostly cranky because I held the money for the food. I am SO not holding that position anymore. If it pisses people off seeing me that way, then I should spare them the next time round. :D.
Well, enjoy the new semester peeps. I gotta go! Mwax!
Melbourne Mari!
Ive been back in Sydney for barely 12 hours and I already miss Melbourne. The new friends, the shopping, the old friends, the GLORIOUS food. God. Its still not enough! I wana go again!
I just got the sweetest gift right before I left. I didnt even realise that Syaz slipped it in my handbag till I was out of the house. Ive never gotten such a present and I think it's one of the sweetest and nicest things a person could give. I peered into my bag to discover a small Quran. I first thought that she accidently misplaced it but May turned to the one of the pages which had a little note addressed to me. Thanks Syaz. I seriously appreciate it. I escpecially like the fact that the translation is in english. huhu.
Okie Dokie. To sum Melbourne up: FOOOD!!; shopping for nighties, boots n jackets; old frens!; new friends (so soo weirdddddd but totally fun!!!); the masca games (whr NSW WON!!) and MNite (which was a HUGE blast...the whole building shuddered with the NSW contingent's resonating cheers and laughter); eye opening conversations (proves how shallow, ignorant and immature I am) and also eye candy (unfortunately said eye candy is taken..but who cares, i always end up rejecting them anyway :P)
In a few hours I'll be off to Gold Coast. Cant wait! Hope everything will be fine. Considering the fact that a quarter of us are sick now. Bleargh. Miss the rest of my sweethearts loads! The ones in Msia, the ones in NZ, the ones around Aussie. And my brother has a semi mohawk. WTF. I miss him to bits n pieces to. :P
