I feel guilty for not making the most out of Ramadhan this year. Sigh. InsyAllah I'll have time to make up for it next year.
Okay pardon me. I'm going to ramble on a bit about how much I miss Msia. I even took Cheong's lead and am listening to Fly Fm now, hoping I get to listen to Raya Songs. Okay. This is making me feel worse. Why? Because not only am I listening to the Malaysian DJs, I'm actually envisioning myself listening to them IN THE CAR. I can see the steering wheel in my hands! I can see Maccas on the way to Oma's house! Nangis batal puasa kan? *breathes in and out*
Cheh Drama Betul. Okay Sorry.
Selamat Hari Raya and Maaf Zahir Batin to everyone! :D
Sorry this post is like crap. I feel like crap. I mean Lethargic. Oh well.
ps: Liz just told me I shld've gone back. Pah. Not helping!
I'm FINALLY on HOLIDAYS! Even though I can see the assignments looming on the horizon, I'm gonna try to squeeze in as much 'fun' and 'me' time as possible. Oh and of course plenty of Open Houses. Muahaha.
The heat is reminiscent of Summer. Toys R Us is reminiscent of my childhood. I was perusing the pink aisles loaded with Barbies, Bratz and the like. Oh God. The Barbies look hideous! I think they had a makeover after Bratz dethroned them off the Favourite Doll List. They have distorted and unproportional features. And they look like SKANKS.
I don't know what message they're trying to send young girls nowdays. Those MyScene dolls are always baring their midriffs and they even have a 'disco club' collection. You advocate CLUBBING to 10 year olds???? Another thing I saw was this collection called 'Growing Up Glam'. You twist the dial on their backs and they magically grow! There was this catchphrase at the back saying something like 'from a cute tween to a teen with curves!' WTF? So ALL girls are supposed to look like THAT when they grow up????
In the name of research (Oh shut up), I went to both the barbie andmyscene websites. The barbie ones are still alright but the myscene ones...Oh God. I hope kids don't really act like that in real life. The only tolerable one is Chelsea. Coz she likes retro clothes. Actually, I don't think she knows that people call it vintage. Wait. She's not even real. Hmm.
And then, I forgot all the hype when I started staring at these pretty things. I still find dolls lovely though. They were an integral part of my childhood. So to see them depreciating in value kind of frazzles me. Oh well. I'm content with just browsing their pictures on flickr. :)
Eh Cepatla Cutiiiiii...Man. I cannot stand this. Stupid ASSignments. And listening to The Summer Set while envisioning me shimmying to their beats under the summer sky makes me agitated. Yes. They're my fave new band of the moment. Because they sound like *ahem* SUMMER. And Jess Bowen is super duper hot. Check her out rocking on the drums!
Ole!
Okay. My classmates are going crazy. Mm Hmm. Must be the sudden weather change. I'm looking at YOU Siew Ching. Bllp.
Why do all the kids on Myspace have those 'self potrait from above' as their profile pics?
Oh yes. Just in case you didn't know, I have ended my 3 year drought. Muahahaha. No I'm not going to get all sappy on you. Why? Because the boyfriend has made up for that ten fold in HIS blog. I don't want you people to puke twice. :P And because I'm shy okay? Oh shut up. I am!
Pass me another bottle, honey, The Jaeger's so sweet
I can't stop smiling. My heart is filled to the brim with joy.
Because of this baby:
Sigh. Another new baby. My previous Ipod died in the heart of New Zealand. It was around 4 years old. Hmm..
This one is called Oneiros. A tribute to Neil Gaiman's Sandman, who I adore. And of course, my love of Greek Mythology, which mind you, has been carefully cultivated since I was still in school. Technically, there is no such entity named Oneiros, they're actually a group of beings collectively knowned as the Oneiroi. They're in charge of dreams and thus, the connection with Sandman. And considering the colour, I think the name is quite spot on. Ha Ha.
The colour looks quite dull online but in my hands, it looks GORGEOUS.
Oh and did I mention I bought it from the brand spanking new Apple Store in Sydney? :D
I've found myself a new love. Mandarin Preserves + Nutella on Poppy and Sesame Seed Bread. (Bajet Gourmet habis). But seriously, its reminiscent of Jaffa Cakes, my favourite cookies out of UK. :P
The sun is shining, heat waves are permeating my skin and the wind is sending my head into a whiplash. And the couples making out on the Physics Lawn do not help me purge my sins this Ramadhan month. Not that I'm fasting anyway. Oops. What? I'm on holiday!
Hanim aka Sabby tagged me to do some random stuff. Since I love talking about myself, I'm gonna torture you guys with nonsense.
1. I think I need to pee. *presses bladder to check*. Oh. No.
2. I want to swim in Greece. This weekend. Now also can.
3. I think after drinking Sprite, my liver is starting to talk to me. It's telling me to lay off the sugar.
4. I haven't read a good book in months. I hate not reading for leisure.
5. My friends find it entertaining to set me up with every other single guy out there. My mom finds it entertaining too. My dad, not so.
6. I'm getting anxious with the fact that Auli hasn't accepted my fb friend request. Oi. Even Hud dah accept request Kakak okay?
7. I wish I had Mummy's legs. Instead, I got Daddy's share of genes in that sector. Actually, the whole bottom section is from Daddy's genes. Dang.
8. Number one on my wishlist: A pair of Jem Earrings.
9. I really cannot stand seeing a certain someone's ex bf loitering around my house. Not that I don't like him. I really do. I just can't stand their situation.
10. I'm washing my hands of ALL my friend's relationship problems.
11. My balcony door is squeaking.
12. I feel like either baking chocolate chip cookies or cake pops. But then I still have an ice cream container full of Tiramisu.
13. I always stop whatever I'm doing to watch my guy friends walk home from class from my room. It sharpens my stalking skills.
14. Ever since I joined the household internet, I've found comics and music all on my own without having to rely on Zek and Chomet. :P
15. And finally. I'm going to pee for real now. Toodles! :D
Disregarding my feet, this baby is up for sale at only 25 AUD. They originally cost 40 pounds which is around 87 AUD. They're preloved but I only wore them a few times, due to an expansion in girth. Hahaha.
Topshop Jeans. Waist: 28 and Length: 29. Petite. Faded and Flared. Fits into the hippie comeback. Price is actually negotiable. :P
There's something called being overconfident sweetie. You counter it with humility and modesty.
Hey, do you remember what fermenters look like? What equations to use when you calculate heat transfers?
That's right. Quiver in your socks. So buck up sweetpea. And wipe that smug look off your face.
Hey people, if you see Shaheera in public, stop her and look her in the eye and tell her, 'Dude, you really need to study. You're friggin way off track.' Then you give her a genuine hug, for reassurance. Alright? Thanks heaps.
My friends and I were talking one day about vices and rebelling. Noone in that group particularly experimented with stuff but someone asked, 'Don't you guys feel rebellious sometimes and just think that you should try it?' It being alcohol, drugs and sex. And whatever other vices you wish to include. Key word: should.
I personally think that if you're comfortable with who you are, with how you were brought up, and how your life is now, then there shouldn't be a reason for you to feel pushed to try something bad. Oh please, you know it's bad for you. I don't care if you don't believe in religion.
And no. I'm no saint. I don't always practise what I preach. I falter just like everyone else. But I think, there's a reason why there's a constant tugging in my heart whenever I'm tempted to try something. And trust me, I've been tempted before.
Some people may call it being chicken. Or boring. Or immature. Right. You can call me whatever you want. I'm sticking to this set of values that I have. You can keep yours. Oh and some of those awesome hard rockers you see? Those cool and edgy businessmen like Johnny Cupcakes? Those dudes are straight edged. And they're not the least bit boring or immature.
Oh but don't get me wrong my dears, you can go ahead and try all you want. Just don't do it because you feel you HAVE to. I'm not going to see you as filth just because you do. Just don't think I'm naive just because I don't wish to be dragged down the same path as you. Deal? Sweet.
I hate being in the middle of two lovers when I know the outcome beforehand. And no, it isn't Happily Ever After.
Why can't she just decide once and for all, whether she wants him or not? And if she doesn't, by all means, LET HIM GO. It's hard enough for him to watch her pretend like there still aren't barriers between them. It's harder still for him knowing she isn't his anymore. I wish they'd quit dancing around in circles and letting me hear the shouts and see the tears.
Yes, spending time in the rain makes me cranky. Especially when the bus' ceiling keeps dripping on you. I'm cold, hungry and food poisoned. Yes, I realise that that phrase does not exist. So bite the Jalapeno.
Oh, I'm SO excited! Lorraine of Not Quite Nigella just emailed me saying I'm getting ANOTHER apron from Annabel trends!
Apparently, they've actually put into production a bunch of aprons with my slogan on them. Therefore, to thank me for my contribution, they're sending me one of those aprons. :D
Once I get them I'll let you guys see okay? Yayyyy!!
ps: there was this whole issue with this blogger who critised MFest recently. The hype hasn't died down. I'm glad that our friends supported us and replied to her insensitivities but it seems that the bashings get bigger and bigger everyday. So please, no more spamming her blog. The more you tell her off, the more defensive she (and her bf) will get. Just leave the poor, ignorant girl be. She did have some valid arguments but she clearly has no clue how hard it is to run such a large scale event on such a low budget.
Oh its such a lovely bumming day todaaaayyyyyyy!!! :D
Ah finally! I can ressstttt! Mfest is over. Biopharm assignment and mid sem are over.
So much has happened since I last wrote. :) Eh relax. No scandals or anything. Kot. Hmm.
Selamat berpuasa to my fellow Muslims! I haven't had time to properly set myself for the same resolutionsI made last year.
So what's next for me? I'm gonna try and catch up on uni work and start cooking with Hawa n Fini. Oh and I'm going to try and start baking again. Sigh, my ramekins are looking pretty lonesome in their box...
I'm still in that fuzzy state of mixed emotions where I seem to cry over happy things and loving my friends seem like both the easiest and hardest thing to do. I'm still thinking of running away but there still are too many loose ends to tie up. Oh but I can catch up on my comics wheeeeeee!
But it's ok! Coz tonight, I'm gonna sleeeeeeeeppppp and tomorrow I'm gonna ressssstttt and clean my pig sty of a room. Hee. In the meantime, watch this:
A dash of Disney, a sprinkle of pop punk, lashings of sweet treats, a pinch of superheroes, bundles of laughter and a tinge of crankyness.
All wrapped up in a pretty package that resembles the Cookie Monster.
Also self proclaimed Princess of Le Cupcake Kingdom
People I love. Music. Sweet treats. Singing animals. Movies. Princes. Books. Fables. Hindustan Heroes.
Sinks my Ship
Rude people working in hospitality and sales. Long queues. Idiots CUTTING long queues. People who Patronise.
Wishlist
To finally figure out what I'm meant to do. To travel the world. To eat anything without gaining ungodly amounts of weight. To get my happily ever after. :)
