Beat It x Fall Out Boy

Pre-enlistee - The day before Tekong.
Trimmed a bit of hair off.

Recruit - 2 weeks after Tekong.
Ayeeee, Botak!

And to think that I was worried about you looking skinnier and awkward with no hair when you went to NS.

Hoho, was I wrong.
A good, glowing tan, a little bit of additional weight on you and with just a little bit of hair on your head - and I've fallen stupid for you all over again by just looking at you for the first time, after two weeks.

And now, I want need to meet our new Abang Rain-Bo(tak).
I miss you and I need our retail therapy before exams starts =(

And finally,.....



BESOK RAYA!

On Fire x Switchfoot

Because we wanted to experience the F1 nice race, and were deafened by it.
Because fun is free, but those Aldo bags sure as hell were nowhere near free.
Because "When the boyfriends are away, we are single" - Dila.
Because Marketing Principles lecture sucked our brains dry.
And simply because we wanted to =)

Next on our agenda; Themed-dressed-up-shopping!

p.s. "Baby, I'm booking out at 1700 hours on Sunday" were the exact words I needed to hear to end this already pretty perfect day =)

I'm elated, ecstatic, over the moon.

Monsoon x Tokio Hotel

Raya mode kinda struck me pretty early this year.

The obsession with revamping my room started as early as when I started to pay back all my "hutang puasa" days during really late July- early August.
Thankfully for me, I *successfully* managed to convince Dad to paint my room Spectrum Red before Ramadhan commences =)
That action, triggered off my Dad's "need to paint more" mode which eventually resulted in him painting all the rooms in the house - minus the kitchen, because the walls there are tiled.
Thank God for the invention of odourless paints -_-

Aaaand thankfully for me, my Audrey Hepburn poster arrived in Singapore before the start of September, meaning that I can hang it up before Raya.
I'm soooooo glad I waited because I... just really fancy her in that pose - and that pose, ALONE.
A great big thanks to my two favourite boys, Han and Rain for braving IKEA with me, on that bright and sunny Monday morning, the week before heading off to NS, for lugging my 70cm by 100cm frame, candles and picture frames all the way back home AND for sticking around for the next couple of hours to cut and fit the border into the frame for the poster, while I sit around, trying (albeit, failing) to make myself useful.

What would I do without the both of you?!?

Dust and clear out room - Check.
Put photos into frames - Check.
Hang poster - Check.
Long, sheer, light coloured curtains - By Saturday? (Hopefully)
New magazine rack - WHY WHY WHY is it so difficult to get a magazine rack?? I mean of ALL the things?!

Okay, need to sleep, now.

I'm Yours x Jason Mraz

Sunday, please come faster.
I'm gonna sleep as early as I can and wake up real late, so that even though half the day's gone, I'll have lesser hours to pass till Mr. Freshly Botak-ed comes back home.

I've got so much to tell you that I'm afraid I'll forget the funny ones when we finally can meet up.
And I need you to laugh, shake your head, give a "tsk" at the correct parts, like you always do.

These past 8 days had by far been the longest 8 days of my life.

I'm gonna kill some time now by heading down to the mall and go get my hair trimmed and layered again... and maybe try something new? (If I'm not chicken enough, that is.)
But like Han said, "Don't cut too short, okay?"
Okay, I won't.

Faster come homeeeeeeeeeeeeee =(

Forever x Chris Brown

Recession happens every (approx) 13 years, so, yes, the government had long suspected it.
They're brutal about how they go about trying to "fix" it but certainly not dumb.
Suck it up because the worst ain't even here yet.
Give it another 2-3 years and we can finally bask in the full "glory" of the recession.

On a MUCH brighter note...
Spurs FINALLY won something.

Darren Bent's winner proved to be the difference in a closely-fought UEFA Cup first round first leg tie against Wisla Krakow at White Hart Lane."

We will NOT, I repeat, NOT NOT NOT, be relegated this season or anytime soon.
We're just off to a teeny bad start.

To dare is to do.



Lastly, I've puked 9 times in the past 24 hours.
Every thing that goes in comes right back out.
It gets so tiring & troublesome that I gave up trying to eat altogether.

Officially Missing You x Talia

Thunder x Boys Like Girls

We're spending the last few days we have together before he answers the Nation's call as MUCH as we can.
Doing things we never did before, like going for that rather painful but beneficial and extremely fascinating leg massage at Kenko and just walking about aimlessly, trying to get out as much as we can from the few days we have left.

But it would prove non beneficial because the moment I step into my house and he steps into the lift, the longing starts.

What was most significant to me during the past few days was how he showed that he was just as scared as I was about this, but just as sure as I am that we'll get through this.

"YOU will get me through this...", he said.

We survived my going to Thailand for 17 days, with practically no communication (cos there was no reception in the village) and thousands of miles apart... what's 2 weeks? =)

I know my dad will keep checking on him and report stuff daily back to me, just like he said he would (NOT a good thing, trust me).

Heading out to the shops together, to get the stuff he needs from his list, brings calmness to me... like I realised that it wasn't really much of a biggie...

But it was when he headed for the photo printing shop at the end of the day, and told me he wanted to print pictures of us and Rifqy so that he can see us everyday that made me realise that :
1) His voice is the soundtrack to my everydays
2) His calmness is my reassurance
3) His presence gives me closure

He isn't even enlisted yet and I already can't wait for the 2 weeks to be over.

Cookie Jar x Gym Class Heroes

When did the time pass me by?
I just need the days to pass by a little slower =(
It's moving too fast.

All I wanna do is hit restart, pause it at my favourite parts and skip all the goodbyes.

Dear Diary x Britney Spears

I'd rather have bad days with you, than good days with someone else...
I'd rather be beside you in the hurricane, than be safe and cosy by myself...
I'd rather have hard times together, than easy times apart...
I'd rather have nothing with you, than have everything with anyone else...
I'd rather walk a 1000 miles with you, than sit comfortably in a car with another man...

It's overwhelming how strongly I feel about this thing we share.
It's amazing how I keep falling over and over again, not because of your sweet words, but because of how sincere, thoughtful, understanding, protective (and I can go on and on) and how you put me above self.

I just hope I can be just as good for you.
I'll never be ready to let go, we'll do whatever it takes... and I don't care what others might say about us, because I know I've got me the good stuff =)

I fell for who you were back then, I thank you for not changing a single bit.

I know you know what I'm going to say next, but I'm gonna save everyone from the mushiness and call you now to tell you instead...

Heee.
I'm lucky I'm in love with my best friend.

Seven Years x Saosin

1st day of September 2008.

Today, marks the first day of Ramadhan =)
Today, marks our 2.5 years together =)

Tomorrow, I have an Econs test =(
In 14 days, Han is off to NS =(
In 14 days, Rain will be off to NS TOO =(

On a slightly brighter note, I'll be seeing Han 14 days after that, amidst all the kuih raya, lontong and F&N/Mirinda/Coke etc etc... =D
