I give up! I still can't sleep. If popping two piritons can't do it, then I should just raise the white flag and instead maybe write up an entry? It's been a while since I've had those real updates about the ongoings in my life (read: 'real' is loosely used here).

Let's start with some happy news. Well, now I've got my own laptop. Finally! Albeit it being a hand-me-down from ibu, I'm still grateful nonetheless. Now I can be the geeky spectacle-wearing gamer that I am, all in the comfort of my room. No more late-nights-lasting-into-the-early-mornings-staring-intensely-at-the-computer-screen-whilst-desperately-fighting-a-random-game-character-so-that-I-can-advance-to-the-next-level alone time in the hall anymore! (phew that was long!) woohoo! Cheers to that. Although I have to admit that im pretty jealous about Yah getting that tiny feather-light pink Vaio which cost a bomb (3k++!) and 10.1MP pink Sony Cybershot this morning, I'm no longer bothered by it than if it's a tootsie roll(they suck and taste bland) she's getting. weee~~ At long last, the menstrual hormones are showing some positive outcome in me. (:

Thank you to all my beautiful darling girls and many others who showed their concern towards Hanan's accident. We are deeply grateful and honestly humbled and touched to have such beautiful people like you in our lives. Things are now starting to look up. Hanan is slowly getting over his driving phobia and insyaAllah it'll be lifted off totally (soon). Damage control and payment wise, Alhamdulillah, there were many who lent their aid. You girls were there for me. For him. For us. You girls stretched your arms and pulled us out of our muddle even before we had to shout for help. For that and the all the genuine concern, support and love you've lent us, we are truly thankful. I love you girls. Please continue staying in our lives and leaving your imprints in our hearts. On my part, I will be honoured if you'll keep our presence in your lives too, 'cause I sure as hell won't want to give up these wonderful friendships and bonds we're been building. (:

Poor Phoofie (pronounced as Fufi) passed on somewhere around Maghrib time just now. It was only last Sunday that we bought him at Yishun pet shop and brought him home. We knew his end was coming 'cause ever since he was bought, he refused to eat or drink. Kak Sarah's trip to the vet did nothing 'cause the vet couldn't detect any particular disease that he might be suffering from. The once active chubby furryball became skinny and easily lethargic. Into the third day of his stay at Hanan's house, his suffering came to an end. Although it was only 3 days that he was with us, we were truly fond of him and hearing the sad news from Cik Normah (we were at vivo) just now did shook us up a lil. Cik Aziz will be bringing his carcass along to the office and burrying it somewhere there tomorrow. ):

Aite, enough with the sentimentalities. (hmm funnily enough, I've suddenly lost my train of thoughts right after typing the former paragraph.) Never mind then, I'll post some raya pictures. This will (hopefully) lift the emo fog off me. ha ha.


on the way to mada's openhouse

Khairun has got the coolest camera ever!

And I got the one with Ariel (((: she's my favourite disney princess.

Of all the pictures taken during the 1st two days of raya, this emerges as my favourite. Discounting the fact we were all bare-faced, unglamly dressed and wearing mamat's mat-ish shades, it exudes genuine gaiety to me. We girls were all giggly and ditzy, posing around with umar as our (unwilling but forced lest mairah sits on him) photographer. hehe. even the usually glum irah and camera shy mairah joined in. check out mairah's pout! that's a one-time thing.

Tomorrow and Sunday, we'll be raya-ing away with all five families in tow. Can't wait! confirm kecoh! raya this year has been quite happening. it's my best collection to date. might pile up more with all the house visits this weekend. INSYAALLAH. takmo jealous kay nadz, shafa and mada :p

Selamat Hari Raya friends and fellow Muslims. Have a good Syawal!

Totally awesome time with the girls. our virgin date(imagine that!) and it turned out alright (: so we met this totally nut swensens waiter who's too old to hit on us but did it anyway. beyond gross. myra had her arm hairs on end. that poor girl. the sale at PS ain't gonna do my pockets any good. potpourri's got some amazing items for 3/4 of its original price slashed. but.i.got.nothing.cause.i'm.penniless. had to make do with a box of 6 fat beard papa cream puffs. right. so now on top of broke, id be adding fat onto the list of adjectives describing me. sour puss was honestly blase. dont get me started on the name.. sour puss for a restaurant? seriously?! right.

well.. great day. definitely great to be single. great.

16th May
a most unfortunate day. suffice to say, i wasted my effort going 'round town. missed the girls for lunch at fishnco. tardiness and the handphone-age got to me. could have gone to the zoo with kitarokkers or could have earn some bucks at Kumon. howells.

17th May
belated Mother's Day celebration. bought flowers and met ibu at her office. cabbed to Arab Street. lunch at Amirah's Grill. walked around the area. scouted for some potential raya apparels. starbucks at Suntec City. walked around somemore. went down to Esplanade. enjoyed the night breeze by the river. fondue at Chocz. i insisted for a picture with PRamlee the musical poster since i wasn't able to go for the actual performance ): cabbed home. we girls earned ourselves blisters on the feet and aching legs. but it all paid off 'cause we managed to make ibu happy for the day. really glad she loved the presents we got her too. (:








 

Happy 58th monthsary, Nan (:
Alhamdulillah
 

Come Thursday I'll be free from all the strictures that have thus far bounded me from my social life. YESSAH! Till then, here I am incarcerated in my room.
 

Here's pictures of us having lunch; refueling; initially weary faced and sluggish thanks to the hours spent (supposedly) lucubrating at WRL
 

Nothing perks you up like good food aye? (:
