Internet

I'm already back in KY after the Chinese New Year break. 4 weeks till I get to go home! Gosh, it has been forever!!

Back to the same routine of going to classes everyday, studying my butt off, oh well, you know the deal, living in the jungle and whatnot.

By jungle. Yes, I mean a real jungle. I'm (trust me, my college mates too) so used to people asking me back, "Haa? Lembah Beringin? Where's that?". So tired of answering this question because even if I describe it specifically, people still will not where it is.

But these days, it's killing me that I rarely get internet connection. So devastating! I am 100% relying on my mobile data and guess who decided to mess up last weekend. MAXIS. Such a bummer :( Weekend are the only free, FREE time I have to open up my laptop and enjoy my leisure time. But of course, of all days Maxis decided to fail on me last weekend. I live such a sad life.

Since we just moved to the new villas, there's no wifi connection at all here. Sad life #round2.

I can't even open my Instagram, Twitter and Facebook! Guys, that's like my life okay. But thank god Maxis still have mercy on me by providing me GPRS connection. Yes, I can still Whatsapp. I'd be dead if there's really REALLY no internet connection. Gosh, can't even imagine it.

I am proudly going to admit here that I am definitely an internet-dependent girl. So please, my dear internet, don't go away from me. I love you.

From the bottom of my heart, I really do.

The Little Things

You know like how sometimes you just want everything. I want those designer handbags, those pretty dresses, more shoes and FitFlops. I want a brand new car, a hybrid if possible. A new Macbook, and iPhone 5S oh and why not an iPad Mini too? Take a flight abroad, travel Europe, stroll at the beach in Maldives or Bali. I don't know, you name it, I want everything! Even world peace!

Astaghfirullahalazim, those are all my nafs talking.

But sometimes, it slips off my mind that the little things matter too.

Today, would've been just another normal day but somehow it turns out to be special. Running some errands, window shopping in KLCC, deciding where to have tea, a glass of lemonade, a glass of coffee-milo thingy, toasted and steamed bread with a side of butter and kaya. It would probably be just another day out in the sun, a scorching one I tell you. But it wasn't just another day. It was today! I laughed like crazy to my own jokes (yeah I'm the kind of person who thinks she's too funny that she's joining Maharaja Lawak soon), I walked around pointlessly in KLCC and I had a long great conversation over roti bakar and roti kukus. It may seems like just another day but for me, it's different when you have the right companion.

The satisfaction of having a new item is nothing compared to having the right companion for it is priceless. May Allah bless me for another lovely day and for a lovely future definitely for in Him I trust most.

A conversation at the phone's casing rack in H&M
"I like this one. Black only or white only"
"But it's simple"
"Isn't simple good?"
"Yeah exactly. Simple is so good" 

I think that I should start keeping things simple. I mean come on, why would I wanna complicate things right? Simple is the way of life, inshaAllah.

Anyhow, let me share my joke of the day here. I made this one up and someone made fun of me afterwards. Twas a good day indeed :)

I was driving and someone told me that the left lane was the safe lane and I was like,
 "What if the right lane IS the right lane? You geddit? Hahahhaha why am I so funny?"

"Oh my god, you are so funny!" *takes out phone* 
"Type MLM jarak Bihah ke 32888 sekarang. Please ah menang Man of the Match, I nak kereta tu"

PS : I love strawberry lollipops!

Stepping Down

Sapphire High Committee 13/14

  From left : Amirul, Afeeq, Sung, Izzat, Yours Truly, Puchee, Najwa, Shaza

The craziest and the weirdest bunch ever (Oh come on the picture says it all).
But definitely the best team I have ever worked with.

Soon enough, we will step down and hand over the responsibility to the next committee.
Honestly, the job was stressful, having to handle so many things at one time, multitasking of course. 
But what's life if everything is easy right?

Definitely something that I'll cherish my whole life.

PS : I think I'm gonna cry when I will officially step down. Cry baby alert.

My January Journey

January has ended few days ago and wow, that was quick. That means I'm left with only a couple of months before A-Levels. Nooooooooo....

But anyway, I filled my January doing what I love, READING! Ahhhhh, I love reading my novels. It's like a brief imaginary vacation from reality for me. Seriously. Ahhh, so fun!!

And and and and, I read 5 different novels this month (I mean last month, but whatever)! YAY YAY YAY. I'm like the happiest girl on earth hihi.

So here's my 2 cents on what I thought of these books;

An Abundance of Katherines by John Green
To be honest, I'm not really fond of this book. It's quite boring for me. I was disappointed of the fact that this book got great reviews but definitely not from me. My chaletmate, Shaza, can't even get herself to finish this book that she made me tell her the whole story, briefly. Haha. Yes guys, that's how she finishes the book, through me. The mathematical side of the story was rather fascinating though I do question its credibility as a formula. Nahhh, fiction it is, haha. And dating (19) girls only with the name of Katherine with that specific spelling, whoa whoa whoa that is sick. Probably I was giving this book a high expectation so that's not fair. All in all, I have read better John Green's book and this one is definitely at the bottom of the list.

Paper Towns by John Green
This one was quite good! The mischief they made was funny and unimaginable. There's a quirky side to this story that I find interesting. John Green did it again, telling the whole world on how complicated women are. How spontaneous and how bipolar we girls are. At one point, I even question my own judgements, like how unpredictable I can be. Haha, well, guilty-as-charge. #girlpower. Oh and, I realised that most of John Green's female characters are bond to a book/novel that their life (story in John Green's novel) are inspired/affected by those books. Weird, huh? Don't worry boys, not all girls are like that. Like the Katherines (all 19 of 'em).

The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini (Graphic Novel)
I love love love this book! The storyline was amazing and I'm only reading it from the graphic novel, not the real one. I am so gonna buy the real novel soon! The story got me as if it's really happening, I can really feel it. The friendship, the discrimination, everything feels so real. Somewhere in the world, someone might be going through it. The world is really unfair, how the poor are degraded, the rich has the power. How selfish man could be and also how selfless one could be. Truly an amazing story, I'd suggest everyone to give it a go. I finish reading this graphic novel in less than an hour and there are moments that my jaw dropped. A really good story, a story of the world. Books don't always affect you, but this one just might.

Baby Be Mine by Paige Toon
A cute story definitely and I love the ending (oh well who doesn't love happy endings). Not much of a review for this one, quite predictable. Maybe the setting was a bit different from other chick-lit novels but I'd say it is quite a typical story. I like it though, those kind of books that make me sway in a little bit of romance, drama and cute baby. Haha! Little did I know it was actually a sequel of Johnny Be Good and I haven't even read it. Ugh, pak down. Now I know the ending ending. Unintended spoiler -.-

The Truth about Melody Browne by Lisa Jewell
First and foremost, I got this book for only 6 ringgit (which I haven't pay yet) during the boot sale in college. Actually I didn't want to buy anything but since I'm such a lovely house captain, I feel like I need to support my house's fundraising plus it was actually cheap. AND, it was great buy (debt, haha I'll pay soon)! The storyline was one of a kind. The journey on how Melody Browne discovers her own self and to find out that she's actually Melody Ribblesdale and not a Browne. On how her lost memory was reclaimed layer by layer and how she thought her life was boring but actually her childhood was full of tragedy. Don't you ever wonder if there's something that had happen to you before that you can't remember?

I know, I know, I should start studying, stop judging..............
