There is a lesson you will learn.
Sometimes you have to go back another turn.

Im tired of this semester. I really am. It's not going horribly wrong or anything but I just wanna end the studying phase of life and move onto working. I know I might regret saying that later on when I have late nights and no more free time. I value these privileges I have as a student however, the thought of studying for exams, and worrying about GPA's and whatnot has become tiring to me. I had a chat with a junior in my course yesterday and realised how far I've come since I was a wide eyed noob in the world of Limkokwing University. I found out that all foundation-ers have to endure 3 semesters in a year (with an addition of a short semester). Hearing the complaints over Life Drawing class was fun to hear since I remember my times complaining about it myself 3 years ago.



In any other case, it's all about personal growth now and not letting words get to me. Even if they're uttered by those whom I love most.

Will switch to digi soon.

While facebook pisses me off with it's reluctance to let me upload today's pictures of the shoot with Nisha, Ziad and Farid, I shall enclose what happened during the rest of last week!



It starts off with a photo shoot with my friend Farid (who would like to be referred to as DJ). He stands west side in this photo. We drove around Cyberjaya scouting for locations.





With shots like those: I am muy happy with the outcome.

Continuing the week with a VERY muted birthday celebration and a night out in Changkat with some friends.


Glow sticks!


Experiencing technical difficulties.


Rectifying said difficulties.



Side note: this pic was taken on a bowling game. As you can see the henna still lingered on my hands so this was a while back. Just needed somewhere to put it.







And that is what Alison did. :)

Consider me shut off from now. When I have certain demands I expect them to be fulfilled. If not, don't expect the same amount of respect I have given.

Walking down memory lane isn't a fun thing to do sometimes. Which is why I cringe at previous entries of my blogs of past. Man, from the small things like bad grammar to just down right stupid actions and ways of looking at things and developing opinions. Kinda love the fact that we're always evolving to be better.



People are such wretched things.

Finally got myself some good stuff. Flora by Gucci. The ever famous ad of the 16 year model who is seen swirling around a sea of flowers who seem to magically billow in the wind with her. I couldn't resist the smell of it. It was enough to buy me. The packaging is more impressive once seen upclose too!



Si! I love it. Along with my new purchase, I got myself some liquid eyeliner too. It's time I tried something new. Woot!

Pretty amazing song if I say so. It's been something I play on a regular basis this past week. Nadia Ali has the shiznit (I'm way too tired to be a little more eloquent and descriptive today).

Raya/Eid has come and people are celebrating their faces off. So much so till some individuals decided to celebrate a little earlier, resulting in them getting into trouble with the law. Tsk tsk. Celebrate on time la skit. If you can procrastinate like most Malaysians in general, surely tak payah so excited till celebrate awal-awal kan? :P Reeelak!

Spent my Raya in SS2 with my Grandaunt's family & extended relatives. Ziad was nice enough to join us. I was heartbroken to find out I have finally become too old to receive Raya money LOL! No problem. The food made up for it. It was great having a home cooked meal by Grandaunty's family :D Spent the rest of the day watching Love Aaj Kal (again) and just chilling at home. The next day, we went to PJ to meet up with Aunty Julie and family who flew down on Saturday. We spent the day in Mid Valley just looking around and did some light shopping.

It felt really great to have a complete family based weekend. It was refreshing. There was little to argue about and less stress in general and it was just chilled. I loved it. I wish we had more days like these. I suppose that's where the whole Raya feeling comes in and when you can bring yourself closer to your loved ones after a year of stress and general blahness from life itself. We just have our different ways of expressing ourselves after all. Then again, too much of a good thing, isn't good after all :P



Got myself some henna done too. That was really fun. I love the way it turned out and I've been getting loads of complements and questions about it too. Love the attention haha! Then again, I do get some weird looks sometimes especially when I'm seen walking alongside Ziad. People might just come up with their own conclusions on this one.


(sadly mine couldn't be as elaborate as this. twas out of my budget)

Might head down to Melacca tomorrow with everyone. I don't think I could sit it out if I wanted to because we do need a second driver. So I need to put aside all laziness (there's that Malaysian quality of mine shining through again!) and suck it up to drive. I don't mind. I just need loads of rest tonight. Who knows, this trip might be fruitful for me. LOL!

I had: Roti John from the Ramadhan Bazaar in Putrajaya with Ziad today.


Here's a glam version. (source)


And here's more like what we saw/ate. (source)

Ever wondered WHY it's called Roti JOHN?

So here's what WIKI says:

Roti John, essentially an omelette sandwich, is a popular Malay breakfast and snack item in Malaysia and Singapore. The ingredients include minced meat (chicken or mutton), onion, egg, sardines, tomato-chilli sauce and a baguette-type loaf. 'Roti' is the Hindi, Urdu and Malay word for bread, and more generally for any bread-based or bread-like food, including sandwiches and pancakes. The origin of the 'John' in the name is allegedly due to the Western origin of the Baguette and the tomato sauce used in the dish.

*sigh* I really wish you'd see me as more than just someone who fulfills favours.

Splendid Waterfall Cardigan, $63, Neiman Marcus

This is a serious want now. Now if only I had legs which went on for miles and a torso which wasn't as thick as three of my heads lined up next to each other (OK, that was weird), I'd be running down to to the nearest store to get me a cardigan.

Can someone spare me some height so I can adorn this lovely piece of cloth wear?

So here it is. Two things which summed up my Merdeka weekend: Ziad with McD's and the KL Twin Towers. Alright so it wasn't exactly on the 31st but a day before :)

So we went down to KL to meet up an uncle of a friend who seemed quite intimidating at first. Plus, he was a staff of PIA so I have my fair share of airline staff to deal with so I saw a pattern in behavior. Then we took a stroll to the towers and just walked around the park outside it.





And finally had our iftar which was distastefully, McDonalds. However, there is a certain something about having it al fresco which makes it a tad more enjoyable than some. Plus the fountains outside KLCC were pretty much an awesome backdrop to a wonderful evening.



On that note, Merdeka was spent at home. In bed. :P
