more conversations with supposedly older people

A noisy group of girls playing Taboo.

M: guess the word.it's a creature! A creature that Ainaa loves the most!
A: cats!
S: MEN!!

Everyone bursted out laughing

west ed mall was like pasar malam

Boxing day at Whyte Ave is way better than West Ed Mall. I got up early and proceeded to Whyte Ave first because I know them boysss will not wake up before 10 a.m. But I hated the idea of going to the mall after 10 a.m. because I would suffocate under the sea of people. Even faraw was out of reach, we suspected she was swallowed alive by the mall. I buckled up and went there anyways because someone asked a favour from me to buy something. If you think the line to get in the shop is long enough, wait until you see the line to pay; it winded through out the store up to the till! Thankfully the two abang-abang sensed my frustration with the intense and noisy shopping crowd so we proceeded to Moxie's for some peace and quiet lunch. They knew if we are eating at the foodcourt I would just burst under all the noise.

Boxing day yield: a lululemon athletica Quickstep Pants (yeay I have cool work out pants for gym/long distance travelling), a top from Covet, (yeay for early bird discount from Bamboo Ballroom at Whyte Ave!) and tons of good memory and good food.

Final exams are over

Not going anywhere for winter break, but my holidays will be far from hambar :)

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year everybody!

Long Silence

I knew what I wanted to write. Heck, I even made a full blown draft about it already. No editing, no fancy words. Stuff that came straight out of my gut. But that's what I'm afraid of. Over and over again I repeat to myself: Writing it for everyone to read means succumbing to it. I can't hide it from myself, no matter how I rename the title over and over again it is in there, somewhere. But I made a promise to myself that this time I MUST NOT succumb, MUST NOT give in. I MUST NOT repeat the same mistake again, doomed for failure and disaster.

Therefore I shall not publish it.

The end.

oh and and there was a bonus question for my Genetics final:

Name the Nobel Prize winner who just passed away last fall and was discussed in GENET390 class.

DR GOBIND KHORANA

MUAHAHAHAHAHAHA SCOOORREEE!!!

Hmm, I kinda like not having a Facebook. So I guess I'll be on tumblr and Instagram (fyi it is ainaass, for all you iPhone users out there) more often.

the conversations I have with some 'fatherly' figures

Exhibit A

L:how does piercing feels like? I'm thinking about piercing my ears lah
Me:it's like getting an injection. Nak kata tak sakit tu tipu lah. I'm a bit of a cry-baby I hate needles
A:u tak suka needles??!! Sikit je kot! Nanti nak beranak mcm mana??!!

Exhibit B

Me: I like it here lah in Canada. I want to stay here
A: eh u nak kahwin dgn org sini ke? Bukan bapak u suruh kahwin dgn org melayu sahaja?!!

Regrets

Fall Term 2011 is coming to an end (last class will be on 7th December, like, next week!)

Last chance to have a meaningful conversation with that cute philosopher guy from music class

Last chance to go all out, hoping your final exams make up for that terrible midterm

Last chance to hang out with those about to graduate. Well they are not graduating yet but time is ticking.

Last chance to do something crazy. I'll leave that to your imagination.

Last chance to plan for winter break. But no more chance to save up, therefore I'll just stay in Edmonton.

And mama, please stop asking me if I have a boyfriend or not. You know the answer

And this wisdom tooth is bothering me. I don't like doctors (including dentists) but now Ainaa, you have to be a big girl
