I seek a drop of your intelligence from Your sea of wisdom, for I seek more than the perfect grade. For my words, my ideas, my wit, I owe it all to You.

Amin. Let the writing begin.

Burning the midnight oil.

Tyra Banks was right. The best item in your make up bag is sleep (I got this from Raj in Big Bang Theory). But I have to admit I agree with that. No amount of concealer can completely erase my under eye dark circles; they only lighten them. And no amount of eye shadow can brighten up my tired and dull face.

Homework and assignment keep piling up as much as I pile on my concealer.

But no matter how busy I am, I promise myself to make it to the mountain road trip next weekend. Will be heading up to Banff before the snowing starts. I admit, I am more of a city urban girl, not much of a nature person. Nevertheless, I am still excited.

a-ha moments of the week

- Just when you are about to say "He's a great guy", you realized he wasn't so great after all :)

- People don't really say what they mean.

They don't really mean what they say either.

- Sometimes, things don't always go as planned. But it is ok, always have plan B but keep on praying that plan A works somehow.

- Be thankful for the privileges you get.

- There is a fine balance between surviving and being selfish.

Temperatures fluctuates,
Human complicates,
Inconsistent words,
manipulates,
Believe in the One that Creates,
For God never procrastinates.

Realised what I missed most
Was the company of people
Not one, but two or three
The laughter of many
Them, he, and she

Blogging between the Train intermission while waiting for Maroon 5 to perform. Masih angau kat lead singer Train and Matt Nathanson lagi <3

Re-blogging after the concert was over:
Adam Levine from Maroon 5 was so hot, even if his talking voice was surprisingly pitchy, squeeky, and sengau. But its ok, sengau itu sexy (only for Adam Levine).

'Super Senior'

That was the term coined by my two abang-abang (Azman and Bo) because we are already in our 3rd and 4th year. I didn't realise how significant that term was until we met our juniors that just arrived last week from Malaysia. I remembered how I was the first day I arrived in Edmonton, I admit I did need some guidance from my peers but I was not THAT clueless or naive. Hmmpph kids these days are just too pampered, pfft! So I gave them a surprise visit with a female friend and a few elder malaysians (not students) to smooth things out and help them get settled.

Ps:
One male junior shaved off the side of his head, and mohawked the top of his head. Plus he dyed the mohawk orange. "Macam ****** lah Ainaa" said The Birthday Boy. I had to laugh that totally made my day.

time to grow up

I am writing this as I am lying down on one of the couches in the lounge at Incheon Airport, Seoul, Korea. My parents insist that I check in one of the lounges. In fact they insisted on a lot of things. Don't choose the seat that is way to the back of the plane. Don't put my purse in the top compartment of my bag. Don't this don't that. I know they are worried, and they want the best for me, but all this fussing made travelling very stressful for me. Maybe months from now I will miss all these attention from my parents but for the mean time, time to grow up Ainaa.

Ps: back to single bed from a queen sized bed. I am back in Edmonton :)

flight's tomorrow

This is my last night in Malaysia and I find myself contemplating thoughts that I dismissed 2-3 years ago. Thoughts shall remain as thoughts, as no action will be taken because I'll head back to Canada tomorrow. Leave tomorrow with no regrets, Ainaa.
