I feel truly honoured when my friends invited me over and I am allowed to go inside their room. The layout of the room is totally foreign, yet it is filled with things that are vaguely familiar. I can point out the things that they wear or bring to school, snacks on their table that they used to share, little things that matter like pictures or calendars. The room smells like that perfume they wear everyday, except their own familiar scent is stronger. Rooms are basically their well-guarded sanctuary, an insider piece to their everyday lives. Bars of privacy has been lifted, leaving no gaps between us.

God, bless the owner of this room, bless this person for sharing with me a slice of their live. Amin.

Its 15 degrees outside and what am I doing? Stuck at the library studying for final exams. Sigh. Have not been out in the sun out that much, although my house mate did notice I'm getting tanner than usual. I'm not that much of a talker when I see people in the library; usually when a friend sit beside me I would just smile and pretend to be really studying. But right now a familiar face in the midst of chairs and mossy green walls would be really nice. Perhaps I'm getting all that tan from sitting in front of the computer screen waaaay too much.

I glanced sideways, looking at your extended hand, showing me your new watch, searching for approval.

"Pretty", I said, referring to your 700 dollar watch and arm. Leather straps hugging your wrist neatly and tightly.

I don't wish it was mine, both your watch and your arms. But I wish I had more, because I know I'm not anything less.

Happy 20th Birthday Ainaa

It's true

One human can be two

Real life or online

Which one is the pseudo version of you?

Birthday celebration round-up:

1) 2 dozens of surprise cupcakes from the girls.

2) Plus one big seriously big card from them too.

3) Sushi with the abang-abangs (tapi diorang tak belanja booooo!)

4) Later, 2 pints of ice-cream (hah yang ni diorang belanja) and movies at their place later

5) The usual coffee and brunch with my best friend on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday mornings. (Today, I INSISTED that he belanja me an ice capp. I know your ego is bigger than mine, so I gave you a little push)

6) Got a call from mom. Showed her my new Kenneth Cole heels (in my defense I bought those to treat myself), she showed me her new Iphone 4. Dad showed me my future Ipad (my birthday gift!) can't wait to go home this summer!

All the important people in my life are AWESOME :D

Thanks everyone!

Don't think about tomorrow

Recklessness will drown your sorrow

Must stop dwelling in this burrow

Take this boat, just row and row and row

I've seen so much more

The present, and the ones before;

The best

The worst.

But being the closest-

That is my focus

Playing stylist

I must confess, I use Looklet.com (thanks Wayne!) to play dress up sometimes.

In my imagination I am like:

Or maybe like:

But honestly this is my uniform to class everyday (plus the hijab):

Cardigan, shirt, jeans, sneakers, or Uggs, and backpack. Lame, I know
