Kekasih Gelapku x Ungu

Besides the fact that my hair now smells like almond london chocolate cookies, the house's stripped of carpets and curtains (so much so that we looked like we've been robbed) and that I cut myself with the blender blade while making hazelnut "powder" , the Hari Raya mood is sinking in really fast.

I believe this year is the year where I've made the record number of trips to Geylang, with the mum & dad, with LalaTinaMarianahHida and with Han... and it feels/looks different each time I'm there.
Weird, no?

I've fasted for 15 days straight, and then (like Tina proudly to the class a few days back), "my egg died".
To add, she innocently asked, "How do I make it "not die" the next time?".
When we told her how... she said, "But my mum will get mad at me*pouts*".
*shakes head*

Let's see... FYP2 is up and running... though we're kinda lost because there's fewer things to be done compared to the first one... or maybe we missed out a whole crapload of stuff and need to restart all over again -.-
Hopefully not. *crosses fingers*

I'm thankful with how things have been turning out lately.
Thankful for the fact that my parents are increasingly supportive of my choices in love and in life.
Thankful for the fact that I know my parents have my back no matter what choice I'll make after I graduate.
Thankful for the fact that they've welcomed Han with open arms.
Thankful for the fact that I've lovely (if not crazy) friends in school.
And thankful for the opportunities that have been bestowed upon me =)

Alhamdullilah, syukur.

Somebody's Me x Enrique Iglesias

Geylang with the girls this Wednesday?

I have Tina for class tomorrow... and Lala's class is just opposite us... meaning, we'll probably spend the day running up and down 7 levels again...

...adoi.

Me Love x Sean Kingston

Screw what I said in the previous post.

Angels Cry x The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus

FYP2 allocation pushed to 15th September.

Buggers.

On another note... I've been tagged.
I'm only gonna this ONCE.
And no more tagging!

The person who tagged you is : AYUL!
Your relationship with him/her is : Secondary school classmate, Breeks!/Seoul Garden colleague, friends for 7 years.
5 impressions you have of him/her : Where do I start? Erm, he's a mummy's boy, he sure can eat, he's a real sweetie beneath all that "mat-boy" exterior, he gets bloody irritating when he starts going berserk in a lift full of people and he's pro-Apple.

If he/she becomes your lover? : Nooooooo. Too very, very different individuals... No way it'll last.
If he/she becomes your lover, things he/she has to improve on will be : Nothing. You love the person for what he/she is and isn't.
If he/she becomes your enemy, you will: Storm over to his house and tell his mummy all his dirty little secrets.
If he/she becomes your enemy, the reason will be: The constant complains of "You never answer my calls, BITCH!" from him.
The most desirable thing you want to do for him/her now is : Force him to quit smoking.
Your overall impression of him/her is : Cuckoo and loud, but on those really rare occasions when he's serious about something, you'd better be serious too.

How do you think people around you will feel about you : I don't know... I smile to just about anyone... maybe they think I'm psychotic for doing so.
The characteristic you love about yourself is : I guess...my tolerance level.
The characteristic you hate about yourself is : Snapping at Han at least once a day.
The most ideal person you want to be is : Myself... with a dash of mummy's awesome ability to whip up those dishes.
For people that care and like you, say something to them: I care and like you too! -.-

I've been up till 2 odd am last night, I woke up at 4.30 am for the pre-dawn meal, where I had 3 cups of tea and a bit of Fruity Pebbles, I've peed 4 times since, it's 8.44 am and I should try and get some sleep, cause Han will once again, wake up at 2.26 pm, and I've no one to whine to till then.

Far Away x Nickelback

You're everything I'm not, and it makes you the perfect other half for me.
You make me whole.
You've caused me pain and hurt, you've taught me trust and love.
I don't wish to be the incomplete person I was before I met you.

You're my inspiration too, love.










IKEA tomorrow!
I need frames... all glass, clean edges, no "actual frame", just clips.
Room needs a revamp.

More Than A Love Song x Augustana

Lovelovelove.

I was rudely forced to wake up early this morning to meet Han for hotcakes but nooooooo, of all the days, the hotcake thingamabob decided that today WAS the day that it'll break down.
Pfffffft.

And today... the loooong overdued shopping mission was finally, FINALLY accomplished today.
New threads for the new semester for the both of us.
I'm knackered, my feet's sore, I've got blisters on my little toes, I'm broke but ultimately, I'm happy and satisfied (=
Happy sangat sangatttttt.

Another thing to be happy about is that I've got all the modules I really wanted, there's familiar faces in all my classes and Han and I have the exact same schedules *beams*
School's only on Mondays, Tuesdays and Fridays, unless you count FYP2 in, of course.
I can't wait for school to start... then end, AND THEN worry about what I've to do next.

Uni?
Work?
Marry a rich, dying old man,get all his fortune, hijack an F16 and rescue Han from the evil that is National Service and move to Frankfurt to build a love nest?

Huhhhhhh.

Zombie x The Cranberries

... and that's...
my very mod-let's-shuffle-dance-and-skank-to-ska-music-and-i-wanna-be-in-every-shot cousin, with a close-up of my brother's rather bushy eyebrows.

Methinks he was playing the guitar, as usual -.-

When A Woman Loves A Man x Westlife

Its amazing how looking through old folders of secondary school pictures in your desktop could send you on a roller coaster of emotions.
I smiled... I laughed out loud to myself... I sighed... and most of all, I missed.

I miss all of them... I miss all of the moments.

Take for example, the above picture... It was Hafiz's, Ayul's and my 17th birthday (=

And in the first picture, you see Ida and Fei teaching all of us how to play "Chop Chilli Chop", in the middle of the night, on Istana Park's cold, damp ground...and you see us girls posing and jumping off stuff, you see two beautiful girls whom I used to be really close with, you see the October babies flashing their birthday loot and you see the entire clique.

It was needless to say, an amazing birthday... and celebrations nowadays are undoubtedly different.
The chaotic-ness has been replaced with quiet, intimate moments of movies/dinners/outings for two with Han, with cozy, medium sized birthday cakes and presents with the family in the living room, the sometimes totally ridiculous presents and wishes from adorable cousins and friends.
Its a mellower affair, to say the least
But also, it's become more memorable... not that birthdays back then wasn't, but... I don't know how to explain it.

And who can forget all these random moments of fun?

The frequent visits to the beach, the camwhoring session, the "Let's Smother Everyone with This Really Expensive Cake" moments, Siti's amazing "Sweet 17 Birthday Bash" and the very memorable Aidilfitri gatherings where everyone went home tired, but rich (=

I will never, ever, ever forget Bowen Secondary School... or rather, 4E6, Class of 2004.

The messy art room sessions, the most memorable Racial Harmony Day, National Day and Youth Day celebrations EVER.
Remember Mr. Selvarasoo?
Well, that first picture was taken in the Physics Room.
I forgot the fact that it existed, until I saw that picture... and I remember how we used to play a fool with Selvarasoo... and how he labeled us Malay girls "Geylang Sisters", because we just won't stop yakking during his classes.

I miss all of them but I guess I had the chance to make a choice and I didn't know what I was doing back then, when everything started changing bit by bit.
I wish things were somewhat different.
I still do have online chats with Hafiz and Az, although they're pretty rare... and sometimes, I bump into Shafik... and Ayul still calls to "Lepak ar!" and so forth.

Lastly, I suppose you all remember 4E7's monitor, Jackson? And the gorgeous Yeo Shafiqah aka Shaq?

That's them... and yup, both in the RP Dragonboat team.
That's Shaq's beau, Ernst and THAT, is a very golden-looking Jackson... literally forcing people to join his dragonboat team.
Both extremely tanned... Jackson's all muscular from the rowing and Shaq's still the same, cos all she does is drum.
Heh.

*sigh*

When We Die x Bowling For Soup

So, after realizing that Friday was NOT the 1st of September, meaning not YET our 18th, we still celebrated like it was =)
And today, Shaq celebrates her one year (fill in the blank) months with dragonboat boy Ernst.

Previous semester's results are out!
Go to Academic Information under Admin... and TA-DA!...your newly released GPA and grades.
I'm pretty happy.
GPA went up and grades are promising... Mum's pleased too.
Alhamdullilah.

PP and CE are both completed and passed.
FYP1's grade is out.
And all that's left is FYP2... and of course, one last very short 3 day week semester, before we become the next diploma graduates of Republic Polytechnic.
Then, it's bye bye PBL, bye bye idiotic schedule of 0830 hours to 1600 hours...
And hello Uni life... or maybe working life.

And thennn, its hello National Service for you, Mr. Sim ... and hello to meeting my daddy in Tekong, and unfortunately for you, he knows who you are...
Good luck! *malicious laughter*

Okay, bye.

First Time x Lifehouse



1 and 1/2 years today, love...
And a lifetime of possibilities ahead tomorrow.

I can't wait.

Credits : Han (for picture)

Hey There Delilah x Plain White T's

And alas, Spurs lost to Man United, undoubtedly due to the extremely biased referee-ing... but then again, Robinson was being the now off-form blundering twat he turned into nearing the end of last season... so, yeah. Oh well, many more matches to look forward to, I suppose.

The holidays are here and so far, I've gone shopping and completed a few more novels, rushing the completion for Zann's posters and I even managed to babysit Rifqy, who weighs tons more than your average 6 month old should... and who took a stinking dump right after I changed his pee-heavy diapers. Phoooey!

That was my first dump-filled diaper change, mind you and needless to say, I panicked.
I looked at him and asked, "Why now!? Can't you hold it till you get home?!" and all he did was look back at me straight in the eye... sizing me up, probably thinking what a loser aunt I was, not being able to change just one stinky diaper.

I'll save you all from all the gory details and all I've got to say is that consuming nothing else but milk for the first 6 months you exist in this world gives you green poop.

High waisted pants are all the rage.

And I'm so craving for authentic makes-your-lips-lipstick-red mee kuah, the sun and the sea.

MAY SPURS BEAT THE CRAP OUT OF MAN UNITED TONIGHT.

To Dare is to do!

From the Ritz to the Rubble x Arctic Monkeys

You can't enjoy the highs, unless you have lows.

I can't wait.
11 days more.

And just one more module before term break!

Another Perfect Day x American Hi-Fi

Friday marked the end of Principles of Digital Media Design, and undoubtedly, I feel kinda sad.

The rushing through of Freehand and Photoshop to meet the 2.30 p.m deadline, by which we have to have an A3 hardcopy of our pieces up on the walls, the hectic photo editing during days we have to do photography... and dealing with Cavvy's pretty ah-beng-ish English.
It's all good fun at the end of the day =)

On another note, the month of Ramadhan (read: FASTING!) is drawing nearer and nearer.
It commences officially on the 13th of September, and my 3-day-week new semester commences on the 17th of that same month.
Not too bad, I suppose.

I'm currently in the midst of "paying back" the days that I didn't fast last year.
4 days down, 5 more to go... and I thank Han for putting up with me and for the circumstances that comes along with fasting...

Just one more semester to go and I'm officially a polytechnic graduate.
What do I do from there? Where do I go? Do I really want to enroll myself into a University?

So many questions and I'm not sure where I can find the answers.

And and and... I want this!!
All wrapped and white.

Ipod Gift Wrapping

And as you can see, I'm oh-so-very random.

Okaaaaaaay, Rifqy's giggling to himself on his play mat... Let's go see what's up.

Wherever You Will Go x The Calling

And so....

Final Year Project I is over =)
Santosa wasn't as intimidating as we all expected him to be either, which is great.
Finally, a short break before the horror that is FYP II begins.
Well done, ladies *hugs for everyone*

Life has been just absolutely... great =)

From the friends in class who make PBL a lot more bearable...
...to the one who forces you to take photos with them (as depicted below).
...to JUICE magazine, who did an exceptionally splendid and brilliant job with their latest August issue.[Go get your JUICE, it's free(cos according to them: "Money is eevil") and its amazingly good too.]


...and finally, to Han who just attempted to sing finished singing Only One by Lifehouse.



*I adore you, lover.
I guess you're the only one left standing when everything else goes down.

Take Me Away x Lifehouse

For taking up so many pages of my diary.
For seeing me home 5-7 days a week.
For the times you've held me close when I cried.
For times you swept the hair away from my eyes,kissed my forehead & told me everything's okay.
For the 4.8125 semesters we've spent knowing each other.
For the 17 months together.
And for so many things you've done for me and with me.

I've no idea what else to say to you but, "i love you so,so much, dear"
