Escaped Escapade
Sigh. I'm sorry, but the post I promised you has not been written. My mind is saturated with paintings and adjectives used to describe artwork. My 3000 word assignment is due tomorrow. Double sigh.
I really hope this phase turns over SOON. I don't know how much more of it I can take.
I am going to embark on a little escapade this weekend.
Somehow, all the brain exercise has been quite appreciated. It takes my mind off the fact that I am craving attention at such atrocious levels. I'm so sorry, I just feel deprived sometimes. Or maybe I'm ovulating? But that doesn't explain why I demand my mom talk to me even when she's half asleep on the bed. Hmm.
I'm so glad I have such a great family. My brother ensures that I never feel lonely and my parents mostly cater to my whims and fancies. Maybe because I demand far less than I used to. Please count the days I stayed at home this summer. Shocking innit?
And I've discovered that it used to either make me extremely upset or scared whenever a parent gets angry, but now I just let them vent out anyway they can without as much as a raised eyebrow. Just as long as they don't hit me or veer off the road, I couldn't be bothered. It's therapeutic to stare daggers and forcefully throw around laundry.
Okay, back to gallery rationale! :)

You Defiled My Daughter
I went out with my former *sniffles* housemates just now. And of course Wei Hon, Chin Leng, Derek and a bunch of their other friends.We watched Underworld 3. Trust me, it wasn't by choice. It was mere force.And no, I didn't find it great.But I do have to tell you that I've watched ALL the underworld movies now.I remember watching Lucien's first change into a Lycan and exclaiming in my head, 'Omigod, macam BIGBY!!!!'And throughout the movie HC and I kept flinching at all the gory scenes. And I kept screaming in my head, 'INFECTIONSSSSS!! Bacteria and Dirt!!!!'.Yea. That's just me. I'm sorry.I'll end this one here. I'm not in the mood to write. But I have something to share. Tomorrow. :) Labels: Friends, Geekery, Housemates, Movies

I Need To Quench My Thirst
Shit, my brother looks like Russell Peters! Gah!
I still have assignments. I am simply inept at this sort of thing. Everyone makes it seem like just because I like to ramble on, it's easy to describe how I feel about a painting. As if words will easily tumble out of my mind when asked to reflect about the various paintings I chose that correlates with my project artwork.
If only I managed to live up to people's expectations.
I wouldn't feel so shoddy then.
Well. I'll try to do something worthwhile. I want to embark on secret projects. Just as long as I don't get pillaged on the way.
Wait. Have I ceased to make sense? Yes? Good. My job here is done. Toodles.

Headscarfs and Sushi
Please be forewarned that these are merely my opinions and that of my friends too. Do not judge us and we will not do the same to you.
The discussion started off with F mentioning how her friend wears a headscarf but sleeps over at her boyfriend's house and most probably indulges in some...stuff. She stated how she and her other friends talked about how the fact that the girl covers herself and prays, makes up for her extracuricular activities. They all believe that when one makes that pledge to fully cover up as a Muslimah, one should take extra precaution in maintaining one's purity, physically at least because other people can't see what you think.
Honestly, I used to think that way too. Like how I find women or girls who wear Hijabs and drink alcohol simultaneously a bit dodgy. And how good girls who practise their religion save for covering their aurat are deemed as having a one way ticket to hell.
Nowdays, I don't think it's fair for me to judge people that way. I can't compartmentalise Muslims according to my OWN beliefs. After all, the fact that there are a myriad of interpretations of the Quran and Sunnah all over the world, proves that there is no absolute one way of viewing some things in Islam. Whatever happens in the end is still between you and God. He still decides whether your intentions are pure of heart. He still decides how much good or bad you've done. I don't think I have any right to say 'OMG, how can she kiss her boyfriend when she wears a headscarf! She shouldn't even HOLD HANDS!'
My other friend, L, mentioned what Queen Rania of Jordan said on Oprah. She doesn't wear a headscarf and is gorgeous as hell but she admitted on the show that she does indeed pray 5 times a day, everyday. She said that the Hijab is not a measure of one's faith. Therefore, just because one doesn't wear one, does not mean one does not observe religion's other rules.
Of course, we do STILL have to cover our aurat. I'm not championing being over-liberal and discarding that rule straight. What I'm saying is, it ISN'T FAIR to JUDGE people who don't cover their aurat and proclaim that they're worse than the people judging them. And with that, I'll leave my prejudices at the door the next time I discuss stuff like this.

Monies?
What do you call monthly celebrations? I get that annual celebrations are called anniversaries. So does this mean we can call monthly ones Monniversaries? Dang, sounds so...materialistic. Haha. Happy Monniversary, Afir! :DI think I'm a bad driver, on the account that I am super slow. Some people call it being cautious. At least the glares from the Myvi was seemingly less steely than that of the words muttered by a caffiene induced trucker.Welcome to Presidency, Mr. Barack H. Obama! :DI surely hope you stand by your words expressed during the inaugration speech and of course, throughout your campaign. I hope you do fight for change. I hope you make Americans proud once again of their country. I hope you stop all the belittling and hipocracy. I hope you make less mistakes than your predecessor.And I wish you luck.Surely we should all find this shift in power life changing for other countries as well. After all, don't Americans think they're the World's police/peacekeeper? Surely, our happiness is at stake as well. So here's to a better world, America.ps: Another post is done but I think I'll put it up tomorrow. :) Labels: Rambling, Random
ShellShocked
Omigod I had such a HUGE scare earlier tonight. Both my babies, Oneiros and Thalia fell SICK!!
Can you imagine the thought of shelling out lotsa dough to fix BOTH of them up at the same time? Oh, my heart almost jolted out of my chest.
Thankfully, my trusty Jedi Master came to the rescue! :D
Thanks Loads to Zek! I don't know what I'd do without you. Most probably stay depressed and start crying. Sigh.
They better not do this to me again. Or I'll make them stand in the corner and evaluate what they've done wrong. Grr.

THE THIRD WHEEL.
Always and forever.
Single or taken.
Thank God the partners usually like my company too. I hope. *gulp*
However, today I had someone else bear the responsibility of third wheel too. And I think everyone was too busy stuffing their faces and laughing that labels were erased.
God, it felt SO good catching up. :D
And I'm so glad I went out with Fatin last nite...Oh how soul mending those girly talks are!

Okay done. Actually, these past few days I've had so many things to write about. However, they're all stuck in my head under the drafts folder. I always think about it while I'm in the shower or in the car so by the time I reach the computer or a piece of paper they've vanished deep into the recesses of my brain.
Anyhow. Anyone want to meet me in KL, feel free to msg me on fb to get my number. :)

I Think I'm Ready To Win
I'm back home! And I have assignments due online. What crap is this?I hate public hospitals and I get nervous everytime I see a catheter. IVs are fine. I've had two in me at one go. But catheters....oh boy..my upchuck reflex gets switched on everytime I see the urine bag. *gasp*.I found this absolutely funny:
I hope she gets better soon. Labels: Family, Geekery, Science Geekery
My hands are shaking from carrying this torch
In 14 hours I'll be taking off to home soil. Joy. As usual mixed emotions stir around in my head. But it's ok. I'm going to face Malaysia with a smile and plenty of optimism.
I love immersing myself in geeky things. Yesterday was QC. I think I read half a year's worth of issues.
And today, I spent the day discussing books and comics, watched an indie movie which made Paan jealous (YEEESSS! SCORE!), and laughed like a mad cow on the sidewalk at midnight.
One way to show that I'm not as childish as I seem is the fact that I'd opt out of watching or even reading Twilight. If I was still in high school I'd consume the books but come on, I'm 22. Gaiman and Willingham are reason enough to dip my toes in fantasy.
So kids, please watch Slumdog Millionaire. If it isn't showing in cinemas near you, go check out Benjamin Button instead.
And at this point I mumble incoherently and realise I need to sleep. Nite!

Apples to Apples
I shall give in to hipocrasy and shallowness to wish everyone:
Happy New Yaaarrrr!!!
The fireworks were AWESOME. The company was More than Great. A few glitches here and there, hot hot sun and huge crowds.
But it was worth waiting I think. Both for 11 hours and for 2 weeks. :)
Okay. That's all. I'd elaborate more if I wasn't so tired and cranky.
Yay esok nak jalan2!
*peace*
