Today

A blank screen.
A blinking cursor.
A racing mind, searching.
Searching for words.
Words to describe today’s life collective.
The sun was bright and the birds chirping.
An omen to a good day.

A coffee house.
The comfy sofa.
Pasta for dinner, complimentary of a friend.
Sipped chilled mocha up through the purple straw.
Talked, laughed and gossiped.
Tomorrow’s worries, is tomorrow’s worries.

A fake cancel to the discount card.
A brave friend overcoming the fear.
Exchanging of words as the fear’s screwed; a cup of pure chocolate is the sow she reaped.

Night has fall, goodnights were said.
Parted our ways with a smile on our face.
Because we know today, was a good day.

The girl who could not sleep.

The beautiful orange glow slowly shy away.
Dreary blackness creeps in.
Goodnights were said.
Hugs were felt.
Kisses, planted.

In the darkness of her room, she could hear her sister's breath.
Sister is in deep sleep, she thought.
Wishing in vain she could do the same.
Counting sheeps does not help one bit.
Shutting her mind does not do the trick.
She tossed and turned, creaking the bed.
Said a little wishful prayer, hoping that she is not the girl who could not sleep.

Love is in the air

Not a fantasy.


Bye bye.

Night out with the ladies!

Had a funtabulous time with the ladies last Friday night.
It was a fun, awkward, let loose, don't care, laugh out loud, leg cramping, shake here, shake there night.


The evening was spent at Zu's, hours & hours of make up (oh this is just me, the others take minutes, hahaha) & trying this and that and eventually satisfied with the outfit.
The night was spent at that particular place.
And just before the break of dawn, we four ladies made our way home, with Rini singing-out-loud Whitney Houston's "I will always love you" in the car.
We then decided to join in the fun.
It was sooo hilarious!
This girl uh...like drunk like that..but be rest assured, none of us drink any alcoholic drinks.

Saturday evening to night was spent with dear Amin, Zu and Annur.
Went to watch 500 days of Summer, then hang out at our "star gazing" spot.

Bye bye.

Train service hiccup...

I reached work slightly before 8am today, which is almost 45 mins late.
No, I did not wake up late.
It was due to the train service.
Yishun station became rather chaotic when the south bound track (train towards Marina Bay from Jurong East) became the track for trains coming from Marina Bay to Jurong East.
After 3 trains, I finally get to board the 'right' train.

Problem solved?
Not quite yet.
The train stayed at every stations for about 5 minutes or so before it closes the door and move on.
Then, somewhere on the track between Yio Chu Kang and Ang Mo Kio, it suddenly halted, jerking fellow train patron.
After 5 minutes, the slow journey continued.
I do not know what happened, but I wish there will be some news explaining the event.
Bye bye.

About Facebook-ing

OMG!!!
I finally talked myself into signing up for facebook.
I know, I know..facebook is old news to 95% of the population in the world, but I finally signed up.
Hey this's what they say, "Better now then never", whoever these they might be.
Ok as you may know, I am relatively new to this facebook, so I'll need time to familiarise myself with this application.
Like I've said, I can be a gundu at times.
No wait, make it most of the time.
I don't know why but I'm kinda excited now that I've created an account.
Hahaha..
Bye bye.

Raya-ing with them

Went Raya-ing with the Shells group ( I have no idea why that name, so don't ask) on Saturday.
It started around 12nn and ended really late at close to 2am.

My house was scheduled second.
Bless mum for helping me cook all the delicious dishes.
While waiting for the dishes to be served, the boys gobbled down a fistful of cookies that I baked.
Even said they wana order it for next year raya.
To which I replied, umm ya ok.. (but hopefully they won't cos I do not think I've the time and I'm plain lazy).
Anddddddd.... I touched and caressed (is that even a proper word to describe it? Somehow, it sounds so wrong) a CAT!
Yup a CAT!
I'm really scared of them but this year I told Amin that I wana touch Wandy's cat when we go over his place.
And I did!
Yey!
I do not have a picture to prove it though.
But I really did touch & caressed a CAT!
Not lying hor...hahaha.
Pictures will be uploaded pretty soon.
Bye bye.

Happy Childrens' Day!

Happy Childrens' Day to all!
My schedule was jam packed yesterday.
Charity event- Project care, followed by Childrens' Day games & concert.

Charity event- Project care.
Every pupils in the school participated in this historic school event.
It started half an hour shortly after school mornig assembly.
Pupils together with form teachers, formed a 'Human Chain' from the school canteen to Kwang Wai Shui Hospital & Nursing Home.
Over 800 parcels of goodies were passed from one pupil to another till it reached the nursing home.
It was a very memorable event and an exciting one too. Pupils, especially lower primary were the most enthusiastic.
It was a tiring yet fun and worthy event.

Here are some pictures.





Remember my Botox blog entry? The girl in the picture below was the one who asked me about it. Hahaha!

Look what I've found

I was browsing through my thumbdrive and found this!!

Can't remember when this was taken, but I supposed it's years back when I was still in my 1st year in TP.
Omgggggggg...my hair!!
Thats my 'original' wavy hair!

I was so gatal this one fine day that I.went.to.the.salon.to.have.it.REBONDED.
Now, I feel stupid like farkk.
Gooo dammit!

I don't think I'll ever get that hair back again...
unless I.go.to.the.salon.to.have.it.done.CHEMICALLY.


*Tears of regret*


Anyway, Zu, kurus pe kau kat gambar tuuu...ishhh!


Bye bye.

A letter to a friend

Dear friend,

I went to your blog and read your tagboard. It saddens me to find that you are engulfed with so much anger, sadness, hatred and accusations. If I may, may I ask why have you turn out to be like this? You are not like the friend I knew during our younger years. A friend who is full of laughter, joy and love.

Why all the accusations? First and foremost, I would like to recall back our aging memory. One unfortunate night, I, along with my other friends, received an unfavorable text message from you. I shall not elaborate the message but it is something like this, “…I won’t be using this number anymore…please delete it now…”. A friend of ours replied to that message asking what is the new number to contact you, but my dear friend, you choose to ignore it.

As you already know, a few days back, we went out for dinner. One of our friends tagged you asking you to come along. But my dear friend, you choose to ignore it yet again.

Tagging you on your blog’s tagboard is the only means of communication we have because not all of us have you residential number. And even if we do, that is not the definite way of getting in contact with you isn’t it? I mean, you’re not always home 24/7 right?

You mentioned about you being busy. My dear friend, everyone of us is busy. The only not busy people are those buried 7 feet down the ground. We too are working, we too are busy with work, we too have families, we too have boyfriend and we too are busy with Hari Raya preparations my dear. You are not the only one who is choked up with busy itineraries. Despite our work place being much further then yours and our hectic schedule, we made time to contact each other and made do with the little time we have to spare.

It doesn’t have to be hanging out till late nights, it can just be a simple hello via text messaging. From what I see, we have been trying our very best to try to get you involve in our activities, but you made it impossibly hard for us to get through you. Before you point fingers of accusations to us again, let me just say that I do not think my statements above are bias. It is a fact. We did tried our best to keep you updated to the extend of calling your work place. Now you tell me, is that fair for us? We do not mind all the hassle you brought upon us, because to us, you are our friend, never have it came across our mind to cut the ties with you. It saddens us to receive such shocking text message from you that night.

You mentioned that you have personal problems that you do not wish to share with us. Instead of just disappearing without any warning, the least you can do is to just tell us that you have a personal problem that you really cannot reveal and we’d understand and respect your decision. That way is more respectful rather than the sudden disappearing act.

If you think we are grinning from ear to ear, happy that you are ‘suffering’ alone, you better think again. Do you even realize that you hurt us? Yes, hurt, like a stab through our hearts. If you think we are ganging up to ‘victimize’ you, dear friend, you better think again. Fact is, we are cracking our brains on ways to help you.

From my view, I think you have insecurities issues. I am sorry to bring this up, but if your other half really love you for who you really are, then he should trust you fully. By not letting you be friend with certain people, do not allow you to put on make up… is this what you call love? Shouldn’t you accept each other for who you really are? Pardon my frankness but am I wrong to say all these? I, together with our other friends wish one day, you can emerge to your old true self rather than be buried even further in the rubble of control-mania.

We know you love him, and vice-versa, and according to you, you are happy. You being happy is what we really want. We also want you to regain back you self confidence that we know you possessed. As you know, we have never judged you. We care for you for who you really are.

So please be more grateful and stop all these bullshits of “from this day, dun bother contacting me or even care about me anymore”, because we really care and we still care. If we do not care, we would not have planned to seat and talked to you that day when you were having some issues. We would not have spared our precious time to accompany you for your nightly jogs. If you think we are heartless creatures, I and the others would be more than happy to prove to you that you are terribly wrong.

Yours truly,
Huda

Night out with the ladies

(Click picture to view Night out with Zu, Rini & Bayah album)

Went out with Zu, Rini & Bayah last night.
Tini can't make it, Yati...oh well...
Nonetheless, the four of us had a great time laughing and talked alot.
However, I noticed that our topics are on a heavier subjects like engagement, wedding, hen night, baby showers, career, having the first baby, etc.
Yikes...just shows how scarily fast we are aging.

I do hope to meet you girls really soon again!

Ps: Someone has a good, good news, but I do not know if she allows me to mention it on my blog...tell me hor, if I can mention it here...you should know who you are hor...*twinkle*

Bye bye.

To kiss or not to kiss...

This morning, my dad decided to leave the car and took public transportation to work instead.
We went off together.

My dad alighted a stop before mine.
So, I did the usual.
Salam and kiss his cheeks.

It is a normal everyday practice for me and my siblings to salam and kiss both our parents.
Apparently, it's an ALIEN thing to all the other MRT patron.
All eyes were practically on me, and that stare went on till about 3 mins or so.
Tsk tsk...
Did I do anything wrong here?
Hahaha...

While most people find it very embarrassing, I find it perfectly normal.
However, I do have my fair shares of awkward moments of kissing my parents in public during my preeminent teenage years.

Those feelings were swiped away with my mum's sharp (but true) words.
She said, "Oh...kiss boyfriend/girlfriend in public not paiseh..kiss OWN parents you want to feel paiseh? Tsk tsk..."
Like a hard slap in the face, I realise how factual was that.
I find it really sad that some people NEVER even kiss their parents.
Ok, some do not kiss their dad, only mum, and that is rather acceptable.
What I'm referring to is those people who never even or too paiseh to kiss their own mum.

Some reasons I get, when asked why don't you kiss your parents?
1) Oh... weird uh if kiss parents.
2) Urghh..for what kiss parents?
3) Never practice that before.
4) Paiseh sia want to kiss parents...like com'on, we're grown up you know, not some kids.
One word - Sad.
I'd understand if you find it weird cos you have never practice it before.
But to feel paiseh? - THIS I don't understand.

Yesterday, while waiting for bus to go home, I saw a mum and a daughter (prolly in her mid 20s), crossing a rather busy road.
The mum, was putting one hand over the daughter's shoulder, the other hand holding the girl's hand (like hugging position).
Everyone at the bus stop, including me was watching.
There I was, thinking, wah the mum really care for the daughter...such a lovely mum-protecting-daughter scene.
The moment I thought of that, the daughter did a very shocking move.
She actually pushed her mum's hands away from her, said "No need to hold me...I can cross on my own, aiyaa.." and shrugged to the mum's other side, walked three or four steps faster.

My eyes literally open wide.
Yes, literally.
Tsk tsk...
Sad.
These are just my views and opinion.
I am going to end this topic here as I know this topic is kinda sensitive or shall I say debatable?
Anyway, this was my break fast dinner last night.

Spring rolls with cabbage.

I love to 'design' my food.
I find it to be very therapeutic.
So go ahead and try it!

Bye bye.

Dreamyyyy

I was super lazy to do work yesterday.
Spent the whole day watching videos and the last half hour doing some work.
When night falls, I intended to tidy my wardrobe but....was too lazy, I did facial for mum instead.

Ps: I had the weirdest yet satisfying dream ever. OMG!
Bye bye.
