I'll stop the world & melt with you.

It was peaceful and by far my best day in a really long time. You know how I mentioned that we were both getting weary about how busy we were? Today was the same. But after his tutorial, instead of doing other stuff, we just went out and relaxed somewhere really nice. Simply kick back our heels and do nothing. And we couldn't have gone to a better place. The Jamaican songs playing in the background, the refreshing Raspberry drink, the soft and sugary Cinnamon Roll and the many tourists made me feel like I was on holiday again. Back at, say, Pangkor and that any moment now, we could make our way to the soft sand and feel the waves lapping at our feet.

The best part of it all was that I was really really very touched that he had no complains about the abrupt change of plans and the "kicking back heels" was his idea.

Half the fun is in finding out.

I cancelled tuition this morning because I feel like everything's such a whirlpool - waking up early in the morning for this and that followed by this and that. Hahaha, my elaboration skills leave alot to be desired, don't they? ;) I think Hasyim's starting to feel weary too. It's like.. we just want to stop, roll over on our backs and stare up at the sky, doing nothing.

Anyhoo, met up with the girls yesterday morning. It was so much fun! Despite them all being later than me [haha ey, but at least Huda's there to balance the status quo, right, Shaza? =P], despite my breakfast to consist almost entirely of vegetables, it was good, not-so-clean fun.

We're meeting up on Friday again for some cheese-lovin' and I can't wait for that albeit the fact that I'll probably be really broke. Haha.

I don't have to tell you what this is all about,
'Cause baby half the fun is in us figuring it all out.

Getting to know you,
Getting to know all about you.
Getting to like you,
Getting to hope you like me.

Work was tiring, we got split up for the afternoon shift but the sales upstairs jumped by around $500! :D :D :D That made up for the lousy shift. The night shift downstairs was good though, we made more than $2600. Too bad we don't get commission, huh.

Hasyim had to leave after that but he was such a darling, he picked me up after my night shift with lots of food and sent me home. Tomorrow my mom and sis will be watching The King and I and I'm kinda jealous because I'm starting to get addicted to the songs and scenes.

Tomorrow's going to be a very very busy day what with tuition at 9am followed by 2 shifts at work.

Times Square can't shine as bright as you.

Hey there Delilah
I've got so much left to say
If every simple song I wrote to you
Would take your breath away
I'd write it all
Even more in love with me you'd fall
We'd have it all.

I miss the company of girls. Ooh! I signed up for Cardio Sculpting under the Health & Fitness Club - it's every Tuesdays, 7-8pm. 10 sessions for $40 is pretty cheap, isn't it? The only problem [which didn't occur to me when I signed up] would be when fasting starts, haha. I'll probably break for a drink then continue or something.

Am meeting Hasyim later, and I can't wait for that! You know, International Relations yesterday was tough! Especially cause I have no History background. When you state your intent to become a PS major, it's alright, but when you're in a room full of other PS majors, you get a little.. intimidated. Haha.

Psychology seems interesting as well. I really want to find my niche and excel in that. I don't think I'm doing very well in PS but it seems like a pretty good choice, what with the job scope and all.

I miss everyone! Grrr!

I approached her, after summing up alot of nerve, with sincerely good intentions and being told off made me so shocked and sad but tonight I feel alot better thanks to people like Huda and Jannah. Oh well. I'll wash my hands.

I got my La Senza bra at 70% off from Faizah! She even put it in a gift bag for me. :) So I went to the welcome tea lugging alot of bags that so many people asked me where I had been out to before that, haha.

Sometimes, crazy's all right.

Sometimes you meet somebody,
And you know that whatever you did before,
It must have been right...
Because nothing you've done could be too bad,
Or have gone too far wrong,
Because it led you to this person.

I'm happy and I'm content. Simply because I've found someone who loves me for who I am and who respects my decisions and feelings. I've run out of fancy or sweet rhymes but it's amazing, really. I never expected this and I'm not sure how it happened, but I do believe you're the best thing that has ever happened to me (!). Haha :)

You know, it always takes a bigger man to walk away. That makes him the smarter man as well because, time heals all wounds. Now we're no longer the hot topic, no longer have people placing bets on how long we'd last.

I remember one episode of OTH where Haley got the tattoo of the number 19 on her lower back and Lucas got angry but Haley said she didn't mind because no matter what happened, the tattoo would be a reminder of her happiness then.

And more often than not, that's all that matters.

My cousin's wedding in KL was simple yet elegant and very very sweet. It took place over the course of 4 days, the last day was at a hotel in Shah Alam. I love the costumes and how it matched the decor.

Had lots of fun in KL but I'm now really tired. I'm waiting for all the pictures to be uploaded into Shutterfly but right now, I just want to catch 40 winks...

Good morning Angels.

Today, today, was spent at East Coast. Hasyim got the car [yay!], so we had a helluva good time driving around. Well I think he's tired, but it was still fun. And blading really is a great workout, trust me. 2 hours will knock you out completely!

So we bladed with his friends, one who was an instructor so we sorta had a free lesson. :D T-brakes and learning how to do cross-overs were fun, especially when attempted by ambitious people. Me, I stick to the safe side. Sometimes admittedly too safe but I'll wait til I get the proper guards before I try out anything remotely.. dangerous.


























After that, we had dinner at The Rice Table. Good food, we definitely stuffed ourselves. It was something like a buffet, and I think I was some sort a buffet newbie so, umm, I took alot of different food but only little bites out of each. Hehe, think it's a place with good ambience and an interesting concept. I suppose it works for the owners too, because what happens is that they serve you small portions of about 20 dishes and each time one dish finishes, they top it up for you - so they save on portions that way. And it works for us because we get to sample a great variety yet still get to 'focus' on a few. :)

When I look at the stars,
I feel like myself.



Okayy, I know I look very tembam. Haha! And I still refuse to take specifically food pictures.

Off to KL tomorrow. :) Bags aren't packed yet, but that's cause I'm really tired. Can't wait for the wedding(s)!

Sapphire and faded jeans.

Three little birds, sat on my window.
And they told me I don't need to worry.
Summer came like cinnamon - so sweet.
Little girls double-dutch on the concrete.







Tonight we met up at Simpang for dinner, after close to forever. It was alot of fun, especially when I found old photos of us in my wallet and we were reminiscing the awesome Cedar days. I can't wait for Huda to join us and hopefully through more casual meet-ups, a great friendship will be continued. =)

It's funny, how things change and how different we are now. We haven't kept in touch much but really, the reminiscing bit of tonight really made me feel warm. Maybe a mistake we made was not keeping in close touch over the years but I promise, things will change. ♥

This was her element,

this was her friend.

'Sup, sexycats! This is where I'll be staying at in Bali. It looks good, doesn't it? It's an apartment really, not a hotel which means it's more affordable because it doesn't have hotel facilities and services. All the same, it does look pretty.

I'm whacked after dropping by at Hasyim's friend's chalet. Hmmm they're a bunch of fun people but but but I don't understand them because they speak Malay way too fast! I spent most of my time just staring interestedly from one party to another, haha.

Yeppers, I'm trying to look on the bright[er] side of going overseas. Manicures, pedicures in Jakarta perhaps? Lounging on the beach in Bali? You hate me, doncha? Haha =p.

I was looking through my pictures and upon stumbling upon the Social Night pictures.. I miss my hair then! Kay, what I miss is, styling my hair and dressing up. Hehehe I miss taking pride in my appearance. :D

"In need of a fresh start"

This entry is a cumulative one - it's a result of several days of mindless scribbles, being uploaded at one shot. So if it doesn't make much sense, then, oops! Haha.

Karen Armstrong is inspirational. To be honest, we were really having second thoughts whether or not we should go and in the end, I'm really glad that we went. Inspirational not only because the talk made sense but because it made me want to be like her. I want to be as well read, as accomplished as that lady, who sat up there, occasionally dissing politicians [Dr Yaacob Ibrahim was being a good sport beside her, haha], telling us to look deep into our inner selves, live with compassion and be guided by The Golden Rule.

So I've started work. Albeit it's only for a few days and it's with my sister but all's good. The work is tiring but a helluva lot of fun - I think Hasyim and I work well together because we managed to finish everything before the allocated time. I think this is the perfect job for me because:
1) It's only for a few days which is perfect since I'll be leaving soon.
2) I get to work with someone I like...
3) and my sister. HAHA, she's a good boss. Really. She won't distract you while you're counting flyers! =P.

So watch out for The King and I, yo. If you do decide to go, remember who helped, hahaha.

Anyway, about the overseas trip(s). It's not just Jakarta now, but Jakarta for a few days followed by a domestic flight to Bali to meet up with my uncle and some cousins there. Back to Singapore for a few days followed by Redang with many more uncles and cousins, then back to Singapore again for another few days and finally KL.

It's not something I'm looking forward to for many reasons. :( We've shed so many tears and I've had so many sore eyes [after crying] and yes, I will go, but not because I want to but because I have to. Did that sound a little weird? If it did, it's just cause I don't want to outwardly state my reasons, haha.

I'm feeling apathetic. I figure, in a twisted way, the long trip coming up is good because it will let me clear my head. Sometimes, space is good. Nyeheheh.

I think tomorrow might be our last day of work. Maybe, only. Hopefully not because it is quite fun, mindlessly routine, but still quite fun. Gathering documents and now having a favourite stapler is new to me. Work's also interesting because of my crossing paths with office folk [like SECURITY GUARDS] who are usually very irritable. I reckon being cooped up all day does wonders for your personality. But it's just fascinating, the different characters you meet and while walking around the area, I've discovered completely new places in Singapore. Well, then, that should come as no surprise because I don't really know my way around this island but but but still, the quaint shops around the area and multitude of pubs create a colourful variety that really makes me wonder where I've been all this while, haha.

What is my job, exactly? I'd like to call myself an [unofficial] personal assistant. :D

Tuesday's looming. I'll leave on the 26th, return approximately on the 12th of July. 2 weeks here and then KL.

Won't you say goodbye?

I'll fight and defend.

One night, the moon said to me.
"If he makes you cry, why don't you leave him?"
I looked at the moon and said,
"Moon, would you ever leave your sky?"

-------------------------------------

Gotta admit, S.W.A.T is one of my favourite movies. Action flicks, man, bring it on! Bring on the fights, the attitude, the tight, taut, toned bodies.

Hondo: Technically, our watch has been over for 12 hours.
Street: So?

The sweet truth.

Someday someone will walk into your life
and make you realize why it never worked out with anyone else.

Call me a safe bet,

I'm betting I'm not.

When friends don't pull through, I guess that's where family comes in. =)

Lulu and Meghna might consider joining Amore, so yay! Amore should pay me, okay. Over the years, I've introduced so many girls I've lost track of. Amore = fun, fitness, friends!

And I just spoke to my mom and sister over a hearty meal of macaroni about it. [Haha] I figure they're right - people who are continually envious of you can't be your close friends. Because envy is usually laced in spite.

I don't get it with the jealousy bit. It's not as though my life is so brilliant. Instead of being happy for me or supporting me, must you put me down? Can't you simply realize you're happier off being content with your own life? There's no need to compete; not with a friend, not with me.

I'm glad that you can forgive. I'm only hoping as time goes, you can forget.
