Make up, clothes, glass bangles. Perhaps it's not my thing but it's fun to step out of your comfort zone for a bit. I arrived at LKW with Anne, Nisha, Denise and Rawad. We met up with Nisha's friend Thanuja and company. We got our temperatures checked (while I coughed into their faces) and tickets ripped.

What was amusing to me was that people were treating us like guests in our own uni. Obviously it's not their fault, they don't know who's from LKW and who isn't. I was on the way to the loo when a guard stopped me and asked where I was going. Told him, and he pointed in a direction and I said "I know. I study here." The look of epikfail.

MAYA was as fun as it got :) There was a row of guys in front of us who were really annoying though. They laughed and jeered and overhyped every small thing that went down onstage. Oh well .. what do you expect anyway? (lol inside joke). The dancers from all the other uni's were pretty good too. My personal fave would be MMU Melaka's dance. I know, a LKW student supporting MMU. Sacrilage. LOL! Taylor's was the worst of the lot. Sorry if you're a Taylor's student but, your dancers sucked. One dude just stood there cluelessly the WHOLE time and the other dancers had to guide him around. Ample amount of time used to rehearse was spent ... mammaking? LOL

Pictures.


Camwhoring 101 + Saree.


Eyetwitching.


Welcome to MAYA




Anne being Anne :D


Alison, Anne, Denise & Rawad


+ Nisha


The signature belly dancing.



Had dinner at La Fresh (while being ignored by some people) and met up with Kinna, Adeel and Zain. It was a really good night. Perfect Saturday night spent. Got home at 3 which was ridiculous. I wanted the night to go on but I guess I would have died if I had stayed on any longer.

Anyway, when I got home, I read an interesting article on Facebook last night: 50 Mistakes Women Make When Having Sex. It was seriously lulztastic yet somewhat eyeopening. I thought it'd interest some people I know *winks*

There is a Joan of Arcadia quote I love so much: People do not belong to each other. They choose each other every day.

I’m bringing this up because the problem with me is that I forget. I forget that the simple act of caring is a choice. It is a conscious decision. The people we hang out with, devote our time to, communicate with — they are not random selections. They’re choices. Preferences.

And sometimes. Well, sometimes, we’re not the flavor of the day. Certain people don’t choose us ALL THE TIME. We’re variety people, after all.

I know this doesn’t make much sense to you but it does to me. I guess the main point is simple: You’re not always on top just like you’re not always at the bottom. On some days, you’re the first pick and on some days, you don’t even get picked at all.

Don’t condemn the people who don’t choose you all the time.

When they’ve met enough people and experienced their share of variety, they will always come back to the people who make them feel comfortable. You know it, I know it. You do it, I do it. We’re creatures of habit, after all.

MAYA in 2 hours.

Up was the cutest thing ever. I think I'm only really into this movie cause of Dug (dog) and Kevin (bird). They brought in so much 'dawwww' to the movie, I was just sitting there waiting for any animal scenes. Of course I was following the main plot too but ZOMG Dug is my new fave Pixar character after Emile (Ratatouille). There must be a thing for fat, round, furry things and me. LOL!



Plus every time Dug spoke, it was just pure LULZ. It made my day. I know I should be raving about the plot and the flawless CGI effects but ... uh, I can't seem to get over the damn dog! *melts*

Dug: Hey, I know a joke! A squirrel walks up to a tree and says, "I forgot to store acorns for the winter and now I am dead." Ha! It is funny because the squirrel gets dead.



Dug: Hey, that is a bird! I have never seen one up close, but this is a bird. May I take your bird back to camp as my prisoner?
Carl Fredricksen: Yes, yes, take it! And on the way, learn how to bark like a real dog!
Dug: I can bark.
[barks]
Dug: And this is howling.
[howls]

DUG! LOL.

LMAO! Handed me a rather huge laugh. I love/hate Horatio so much it's stupid. And does he need to put on shades on another pair? (re pic 3)



I swear I hate being a girl at certain times of the month. Oddly, I had been worrying I'd be a little late this month. So I set myself a time limit. I complained about it so much last night, and lo and behold ... I'm paying the price this morning with a sharp pain stabbed at my sides and stomach every 4 seconds. Lying down only solves the problem so much. I can't even take a few steps without having to sit down and just squint my eyes in pain and push tears away. It's that bad this time.

On less ... feminine issues, Uni work is beginning to pile up. I have 4 ads to analyze for Ken Goh's class, 12 scamps (aka sketches) to come up with for Timothy's class, research on culture and I ought to come up with a personal essay topic for Amanda (useless twat)'s class aaand I need to meet my so called 'Lecturer' for Consumer behaviour as he has been MIA since week 1. Phew. It's actually not a lot of work but I'm just too lazy/in pain to bother.

who else is attending?

YES IM BORED. No. LAZY. I should be asleep or working. Damn.

Saved the best for last.



taken at a local nearby mamak. I kid you not. It's a real drink. We ordered it but they were out. Damn.

Whew, times have changed.
Alison gets to eat Johnny's tonight thanks to Mum ♥♥♥
Went to watch Kaminey with Ziad yesterday at Pyramid. 2nd Hindi movie in a month. First one was Love Aaj Kal with Ashhad and Ziad. I only agreed to watch Kaminey because it had Shahid Kapoor in it :D




OM NOM NOM. YASHBOM. LOL. ok. *leaves before is considered rabid*

As I sit here, I can't help but to wonder if you're still thinking of me, even while you sleep. If my words to you last night are still ringing in your mind. If you slept well and if we're moving forward.

It's breaking my heart to watch you run around
'Cause I know that you're living a lie
That's okay baby 'cause in time you will find
What goes around, goes around, goes around
Comes all the way back around

Dad mentioned Liverpool playing this Sunday. I cannot believe how long it's been since I watched a whole football game (excl. Singapore) on TV. But I have to admit, the holidays/off season period I've sort of lost the interest in football ever so slightly. I don't hate the sport any less of course but it's like, that passion has semi burnt out. So, hopefully come Sunday I'll revert back after watching LFC's first game back. It's gonna be so weird without Xabi around now :(

Haven't done anything productive since uni started and that's gonna reflect on how much ass kicking I need. I'm gonna start working on them assignments on Saturday. Promise. I can already hear a group of people laughing behind me and in my head.

I'll be trying out for an internship in Dubai at the end of the year. Thanks to Kazi who's working at a British magazine company specialising in Advertising. He extended me and Kinna an offer to go with him. He also is staying at a place there with the rent being 70% off! So we're looking into living expenses while in Dubai. Mum and Dad gave me the green light too. If it all works out, I'll be working there from Dec - Jan/Feb. ZOMG Dubai.

Shall have dinner with the amigos then go for an evening jog and then come home and pass out. ciao. Hope everyone's enjoying their TGIFs.

Throw it away
Forget yesterday
We'll make the great escape
We won't hear a word they say
They don't know us anyway
Watch it burn
Let it die
Cause we are finally free tonight

Album: Boys Like Girls
Year: 2006
Title: The Great Escape

This is what I do, when I think about you.

Hmm, this is rather shit isn't it? I've made mistakes with quick judgement in the past. I don't intend to make one again ... but maybe I could be doing the wrong thing by not following my first instinct. I could also be making another if I do. *sigh* why does everything happen at the wrong times?

Truth be told though, there never is a good time for bad things to happen.

HERE WE GO!

Mmm, damn I miss eating these. We had some in Australia in abundance due to my aunts neighbours tree which was overbearing with fruit. All we had to do was stand in the backyard and wait for them to fall. Lulz. August is rolling in, Spring will be here any time now.



Classes officially start tomorrow (actually, today) and I have no idea when or what my first class is. Uni decided to be a jackass and not release our timetable till Monday/today. And so I don't even know if it's in the afternoon or morning and I could be wasting my entire day away there. How useless.

Sad thing is, on the eve of my return to uni, my body decides to play a cruel prank and fall sick. I'm suffering a rather harsh cough and sorethroat and all I can hope out of it is that I gain an awesome deep scratchy voice ... because it sounds smexy. LOL. But really though, I really feel the need to get myself a mask for classes. I don't want to get any sicker and I don't wanna spread what I have too.

Another shitty thing is that my gag reflex has been on the fritz as of late. I occasionally feel the need to hurl and when in public, perhaps not a good feeling to go through. I blame the damn cough. Lovely timing la Alison.



Random. Just felt like it. Hallo baby me!

Sometimes I feel that it's not my place to ask such favours and commitments off people. I know they're willing to do what I request but it's not in my general nature to ask favours from anyone. So when something rather large like this is concerned, it sort of changes my views on things and understand that there are people out there who would do things for me.

It's like, who am I to make such demands from someone? They're willing to just drop all their plans and hop along on my journey. Not a lot of people would agree to such an idea so quickly. Over a span of time, minds and opinions change though.

I can only hope that my trust and loyalty can help so far because it'd be very disappointing to have everything fall into shambles before anything happens.

I really want this to work out but if it's all just a joke, I don't know what I'd do.

My head is seriously heavy as hell and I can't feel my fingers and my soles itch. I don't like wine. Wine and Caramel Macchiato nonsense. Bleh, oh well. It's not a hangover anyway. HAHA. Just me not getting enough sleep I guess.

I'm too lazy/tired to go for a walk. This sucks because I know I'll have to do it anyway. My head is just begging for a pillow though. Maybe I could walk with a pillow next to me. Think people would point and stare? Yeah they would I guess.

Had a lovely dinner last night with the girls which consisted of Nisha's famous Soya Balls (lol), Subways and Starbucks. I am now broke as hell. Please don't invite me for anymore dinners unless it's at a mamak or some chinese hawker center. My wallet needs to bulk up. But it was all in good fun and I loved it.

Perhaps this is the only reason this person ever came into my life. To teach me how to endure such obstacles (aka shit la)



Suddenly I crave the sudden silence of waking up in the morning in the cold weather under a thick quilt just listening to the sound of nothingness. I only ever got that in Australia. Sleeping in the basement in TN doesn't count. Anyway, I miss that feeling of knowing your whole day is just planned by others. You have no commitments but just to show up at the breakfast table and put on a (fake) smile on your face. Just enjoying the stillness and the slow creaking of wooden floorboards. It just gave me that inner peace with myself albeit the boredom that usually followed.

I miss the cold breeze on my face (which kind of hurt but oh well) and just slowly making my way around the house/street. People who passed me by always smiled or said something pleasant which obviously means a lot more if you appreciate the finer things in life. I wish I hadn't complained so much while I was there (and yet if you put me in the same position now, I probably would again). I miss going out with the family and forgetting that there is hurt elsewhere in the world just waiting for me to return. Those evenings spent in the parks or just wandering around the roads of Melbourne. I miss you so much.



I wish I had more patience for things but I know it wouldn't be like me anyway. I wish I had never done a lot of things I did. But yes, life is meant to teach you it's lessons and it's up to you when you choose to learn them.

I just wish the most painful of all didn't have to come so fast.

Because some things I'll never learn.
