2011 MAMA Awards

2011-11-30T00:52:00.001+08:00

I'm not a big fan of the whole KPOP music scene. Sure there are songs that are catchy but for me, they are changeable like clothes. Example, I would be listening to a favourite song from Super Junior today but tomorrow, a song from let's say 2PM.

I do listen to Kpop songs because they're okay given that I have my favourite choice of songs to listen to. Evanescence, Tokio Hotel, Breaking Benjamin, Late Night Alumni, Kaskade... Well no specific genre, just songs that I prefer...

Today the 29th, Singapore hosted the much talked about awards show from Korea, the 2011 MAMA Awards. So I was at home and sort of having a lazy day, I told myself why not watch it. I mean, I always watch shows like Running Man, when I was in Poly, my classmates always talk about kpop that I eventually can identify most of them. It even starts from 5pm all the way till 10pm. There my evening is covered right?

OKAY FINE, I have another reason. I READ OH JI HO WAS COMING. I GOTTA WATCH OKAY.

So from the beginning till the end, I watched it with Mum. Yes, from start till the end.

THE THING that really makes me have such a HUGE REACTION was one unforgettable performance that I watch and how AMAZING in my honest opinion it was.

I AM AMAZED WITH 2NE1'S I AM THE BEST PERFORMANCE. There I said it. I'm sold.

Phenomenal, fabulous, fantastic and "W-O-W-tastic". I was watching the performance through television and already I can feel their overwhelming charisma, I don't think I can describe the emotions and feelings of those who were in the stadium. I would've gone crazy, shout and sang along out of tune and just, go bonkers.

As they have won Best Vocal Performance, they really do fit the title of the award they've earned. Yes, 2ne1 delivered.

MY MUM AGREES WITH ME - her reaction was, "Wow, Kakak, they very fierce eh?". Hohoho!

If I'm not wrong, their fans are called Blackjacks? Curious because I only know ELFs and SONEs (because they're always on twitter). Powerful performance, strong vocals... They delivered it with strong charisma, 'I'm The Best' just fits.

Whoooo~ I must say the MAMA Awards is definitely so grand, love the stage, the effects and everything. Wow~ Quality baby, quality.

Huhuhuhuhu....... I think this is where my rambling will end. Sorry if I don't sound coherent and all over the place. Until another kpop group have grabbed my attention like 2NE1 did, I'm most probably not going to blog much about Kpop music?

I'm sure many of you have your favourites tonight, this is mine :) Also my fluffy pillow and blanket that I cuddled in while watching. Oh yeah~

Naise!

2011-11-22T23:35:00.000+08:00

Meet my newest niece: Nur Qurratu'ain!!!

CONGRATULATIONS TO KAK SYUHADAH AND ABANG SABIQ!!!
Baby Q looks soooo pretty and adorable doesn't she? :')

Awwwwwwwwwwwwwww ♥♥♥♥♥

Married!

2011-10-25T02:38:00.000+08:00

The first Granddaughter of the family from my dad's side is now MARRIED!

Given that she's the first from the dad's side, it is also the first for everyone of us in the clan. It was a different experience for me because it felt weird being a grown up and really experiencing these things...

But as always, there's a first for everything~ Huhu!

CONGRATULATIONS TO KAK AYU AND ABANG ASHRI!

The groom arrived~

And his rombongan~

Nervous Bride~

Sign, sealed, delivered, I'm Yours!

THE Mak Andam of the wedding (she's camera shy I guess?)

These are the items from the grooms side that was brought as gifts in exchange with the bride's gifts.

Whilst I was busy upstairs, downstairs (my aunt's place), the behind the scenes for the 'berkat' was taking place...

These are just a few of the photos that I took. More of the wedding photos are at my dad's camera (formerly my Buttercup but now she's just Buttercup :/).

The wedding was a blast because I had fun taking care of the 'Berkat' station, though I had a scar on my nose due to a minor accident.

Nevertheless, it was the first and it went well. So thanks to God for letting it go smoothly and thanks to all the families!

:D

F1 & LP

2011-09-30T23:20:00.000+08:00

One sad thing about F1 this year for me was that I was not feeling well. Despite all that, I should've eaten breakfast but I skipped it. So I went with an empty stomach. Queuing all day under the sun and only drinking sweet sugar waters, I (who was initially all the way to the front of the stage) had to forfeit my spot and moved to the back where I had space to stand and breathe.

Lesson: DO NOT SKIP BREAKFAST DURING AN IMPORTANT CONCERT DAY.

However, despite all that, I still managed to catch the race with my very own eyes and also enjoy the concert. One good thing for me at concerts was that, no matter how faaaar back I stand, I can see well above all the heads in front of me. That's a blessing I really really appreciate from God :P Heh.

Bumped into AMANDA BAY there! Thank you Bay for helping me snap a photo :)

The pics? After the cut~

LINKIN PARK FOR THE WINNNNNNNNNN! ♥

Words? No words to describe the emotions I was going through despite feeling faint 4/5 of the time. Giddy, almost fainting, numb and many many unpleasant times, made it all worthwhile enduring it for Linkin Park.

They sound PERFECT LIVE as perfect as they were on Album! Oh maaaaaaaaaaaaaaan. Encore please.

THANKS TO CINDY AND RINI AND KIMBERLY! YOU GUYS ARE FABULOUS-O :)

/short entry is short because at this moment this entry is being typed out, I'm feeling heavy because of the meds I took earlier. Sigh~

Holiday~

2011-09-15T20:21:00.001+08:00

Disclaimer!

Dear all (who bothers),

First of all, thank you and I love you.

Second, there's a lot to update but let's make it part by part shall we? So here's part 1. Also a post full of unedited photos. *Is a lazybum to edit them in photoshop*

So, third, to add to the list of "How I am being lazy", the photos are not uniform in size and resolution as I uploaded it directly from my camera, Dad's camera (formerly mine) and Cellphone. 3 total different sources with different settings.

Hopefully this will not cause any serious damage in any sort of way. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Love,
Aini ♥

Howdy~ I meant, hello, hi, hola and anything similar to a greeting!

Haven't blogged for quite a while have I? The last being the trip to Jurong East which consists of X-Men. Well, now that I'm back (for good maybe?), I'm here to blog about my family.

All because we went for a short holiday trip!

Here, I shall just put a quote typically used among us Malays, "INDAH KHABAR DARI RUPA". Try to research further about the hotel than just relying on 'official' pictures okay?

So RIGHT after checking in, as typical Singaporeans, we went out on a food hunt. So what did we end up eating?

Yes, you guessed right, CHICKEN RICE. As if we don't have that in Singapore? However, it is no stranger to many tourists that if you are in a foreign city/country, you really find local to eat right? At least 95% of first days when I travel, I look for typical Singaporean food~

Ok fine, it's just me.

I do not particularly remember what we ordered but there were, soft fried egg tofu, chicken rice, THE chicken and a whole lot of deliciousness.

A hungry person is an angry person (no gender bias here). So once the stomach is filled and got the enzymes to work, we finally went to bunk in the room to rest for awhile...

Always, change to comfy clothes when unpacking. Adds a plus point!

So after all this, of course, we walked around to shop at the nearby mall, BB Plaza I think? Bought a lot of things but I did not take pictures of every particular items. However, those on my personal twitter would have known what I bought anyway~

So the sun sets while you're having fun and the stomach starts to grumble again, we walked and walked until we end up at this Middle Eastern Restaurant~ Again, I forgot it's name but it's along the roads of the Malaysian LRT there.

When I was trying to photograph the food that I ordered, they started pushing their dishes to me. So this explains why there are similar shots here and there :D

The best 2 dishes that I ate (obviously since I ordered them -_-):

So Day 1 ended.

Start of Day 2, we woke up, we rode on this cute pinkish/red with neon yellow interior bus that brought us sight-seeing and to a nearby village.

Pretty hypnotic interior in my opinion...
So from the beginning:

AND finally the couple joined us for holiday!!! ♥

Yes, in real life that we step on, I am TALLER than my dad.

Then we went to the biggest floating mosque(?) at Putrajaya~

Only then did we made our way to a village area~ The cool thing about this house that besotted my parents was, a river; A river RIGHT behind their house.

They have their own lawn, backyard and space! They don't live in jail-like hdb blocks/apartments unlike me *sigh*

Heh.

We're obviously super excited, especially the kids and the old folks (remembering what it was like in the old days to see rivers like these), they climbed down and dipped their feet.

We didn't stay only on one location, there was another place in the mountains (I guess) that we visited and it was really cool to see where they live. You have a steep hill going downwards for your driveway and a pond in your front yard. Seriously, I'd be so proud to welcome people to my house and go, "Yeah, you wish you had space like mine" but alas...

See??!?!?!

Here's a group photo of us with the people who kindly brought us to their homes~

We went to eat 'Satay Kajang' after these but sorry to say, the service was bad and I guess I prefer the usual Satay I eat in Singapore... They had Satay Arnab, I in no way will ever eat RABBITS. No, no, NOOOO. The Satay was sweet and cold. It is a typical Singaporean thing, when we want our Satay, we want it hot baby!

Maybe, next time.

One thing about Malaysia, there are always Singaporeans all around. Bumped into many, M-A-N-Y Singaporean cars during this trip.

We go holiday nearby yo!

So Day 2 ended~

Day 3 was a rush of excitement and blur...

Don't know if you guys noticed but us ladies all wore the stripped hooded shirt that we bought together at the same shop. It's really cheap, like RM10 for a shirt~ So we made a pact to buy and wore them when we visit Sunway~ Yeeeha!

UHHUH BABY!

Most of the pictures are with the married couple and still received no updates regarding the pictures. Sorry but these are all that I took with my cellphone and Dad's camera.

Promised not to get wet but who are we kidding -_-" ~ The temptations are irresistible... Huhu. Really should go there again. From MTV WorldStage to family holiday~ That place has a lot of good memories for me :333

After 5 hours (Yes we were only given 5 hours T_T), we went to Masjid India to shop. Didn't find anything particularly interesting to shop for there. Bought a book for Mum from her favourite novelist - Norhayati Berahim and that's it.

After that when we reached back to the hotel, I passed out... I really did miss out dinner and slept all the way to the next morning. Missed out on delicious food for family dinner... DAMN.

So that's how lame my Day 3 ended. Very anti-climatic -_-

Day 4, we be going back to Singapore aka, NOIDON'TWANTTOENDTHISHOLIDAYNOWAYNONO!

Got up for breakfast late so me and Bik Sri went to eat breakfast ourselves since the rest have all left...

Since it's the last day and all, dressed up to milk every squeeze of fun left before the trip ends...

Had our last meal at the same Chicken Rice shop at the beginning of this entry and then when last minute shopping around other malls.

Towards the end of the trip, I really did not bother to take pictures because I was too busy spending time having a good time. I believe, it is not just me who does this right? Admit it. You do too~ Huhu.

Sadly, that was it. Journey back to Singapore is NOT interesting to blog about. Felt sad that the 4 day trip ended too quickly for my liking but it was good. Enjoyed quality time, food and company. I can only wish for more of this to happen.

I WANT MORE!

"That's all." (In Miranda's voice)

Hari Raya Puasa 2011

2011-09-03T00:10:00.000+08:00

Oh how time flies~

This year, I celebrated Hari Raya Puasa in a new house~ It felt a little bit different than the usual but changes happen all the time anyway. So, no use complaining/whining, just got to adapt/get use to it!

Oh I know, I am not in the mood for lengthy post these days~ So let's just skip to pictures :)

Then off to Mum's side~

A ninja somewhere in Choa Chu Kang. HAIYAK!

There were not many pictures taken at Mum's side because I was not feeling well that day. The monthly cramps decide to come early and happen in the midst of celebrating Hari Raya Puasa. Big Whoop -_-'

I love family gatherings. I'm a much more family person than a friend person if that makes sense? I'm sure we all love our family don't we? :)

Closing this blog?

2011-08-08T06:04:00.000+08:00

I don't know.

We'll see...

Since being too personal is wrong,

being random is also wrong.

I can't please everyone can I?

2011-06-06T18:57:00.003+08:00

Let's start the post with the movie that I watch after months. Finally? I know right?

X-Men First Class was awesome. The beautiful friendship Professor X and Magneto had is amazing. I would definitely recommend the movie a go-to MUST WATCH for fans! James McAvoy accent and Michael Fassbender looks are a total plus++++ point for me ♥

Given that I had to travel all the way to Jurong Point for the movie, I was late for a couple of minutes for the movie. Went there with my cousin since Mum and Dad could not make it, again, so two tickets were burned.

Oh speaking of tickets, let's do some math. I went with my cousin and I mentioned I had 2 extra tickets that went to waste right? So if you take 2 + 2 = ? Yes, crevver! 4! But guess how many seats was available? Only 3. The entire row was filled with this family and their extended families. This happened the last time too.

I do not mind because I have not had the chance to bring exactly 4 people to the movies and fully utilize the tickets but what if I had? What would you have done? I know what I would do and it would cause a lot of disturbance *le sigh*...

Fine fine... Letting the topic go down the drain now...

So I slept over at Kak Nnad's house (since I traveled all the way from one end of the island to the other, I might as well fully utilize it the opportunity) and had a good time. Card games, late night chat and bitching/moaning about every single topic discussed contributes to having a good time.

I miss my cousins.

Previous to all these, met up with the IVIC girls to have a day out and shop for make up items. (Photos with NHManan, is unavailable as I forgot to take pictures on the first trip.) Have some FNadiah, NEmilia, NSharif and me!

We all got what we wanted. Got to say Smoochiezz is good both online and at their store. Their OPI shelves are just *-* to die for.

Anyway, here's my stash :P Enjoy the "picture" haul.

I'm lovin' CHAOS by NYX :-)

Okay enough vanity~ Bye~

When at work...

2011-05-26T06:11:00.001+08:00

Me, featuring the pretty "NEmilia". LOL. We're both wearing the same lipstick and lipgloss.

Posting this everywhere I can because I think I have a lipstick shade that I am in love with and to kill for... Awesome awesome awesome lipstick and lipgloss. Me likes! Me wants! And highly moisturising too... Or was that the vaseline I applied earlier...

Oh well. NEED! NEED! It's a shade from NYX (both lipstick and lipgloss) so I must find it out! Better yet, I'll ask the owner who brought it. Heh.

Cross-posting this everywhere because I can :D

GOOD MORNING!

Boom boom boom :)

2011-05-25T06:50:00.002+08:00

Know how sometimes we hear a sound and we randomly think of a beat? Like when you start knocking on the table wood, you pretend that it's a bongo albeit it's a wooden table and start slapping out a rhythm?

I think it takes talent and pure genius to actually make beats and music around those sounds. Imagine hitting the surface of the table and then rustling through scattered (revision) papers and just coming out with an awesome tune and in turn make it an enjoyable music.

Glad that I stumbled upon this video...

http://youtu.be/tQJExYM7aDU

Thanks Youtube!

Of course, an all time favourite has to be inserted as well...

http://youtu.be/6EF1LGD6_KA

Of course we all love a little vintage Nike ;-D

And another awesome, awesome, awesome thing - BEATBOXING. You know you can't go wrong with that.

GOOD MORNING ALL!

RIP The Rev

If you go back a few posts down, you will see a post with photos of the THSG girls and me at Pizza Hut. That was the step of a group meeting to getting AOA2011 to happen.

Alas, on 9th April 2011, AOA2011 did happen.

I could never be more proud, happy or excited. Until today, I could not believe it took place and we really did have donations to donate.

Would you believe it actually happened? Yes sir it did!

"Come pain, come hurt, see the Halo" - Hurricanes and Suns, Tokio Hotel.

There are postcards, stickers and shirts. Yeah... I'll get to getting a more very detailed blog post up as soon as possible. Right now, if time allows, I would love to catch a few more winks to reduce the pounding headache to a slightly bearable one.

See you soon!

P/s. Graduation ceremony, here I come? Hehe......

2011-03-24T20:46:00.001+08:00

I love this. I miss this. I want more of this.

Smiley :)

2011-03-18T07:17:00.003+08:00

Oh today/yesterday has been a very good day. Accomplished many things fandom related. In case you don't know, I run Tokio Hotel Singapore ♥.

As of today, THSG is officially made of 5 people. Achievement to a complete group and at the same time moving forward with this energy of positivity.

It started out with 3, then 2 and now 5. We're ready to go. Met with the lovely ladies - Fiona, Elni, Cindy and Zara! Been awhile since I last saw them. Gatherings like this makes me feel motivated, doing something interesting (which I have interest in) rather than something boring.

♥ you girls!

So, you ready?

Just an idea though, should I bother cutting my hair? It's the first time I kept my hair this long. Should I bother going with old boring short hairstyle? Decisions, decisions.

Quotes

2011-03-14T04:44:00.001+08:00

“Do not say, that if the people do good to us, we will do good to them; and if the people oppress us, we will oppress them; but determine that if people do you good, you will do good to them; and if they oppress you, you will not oppress them” - Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w)

“He is not strong and powerful who throweth people down; but he is strong who witholdeth himself from anger” - Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w)

“Compassion is not religious business, it is human business, it is not luxury, it is essential for our own peace and mental stability, it is essential for human survival.” - Dalai Lama

I'm not strong enough but I will work hard and persevere to be strong.
Because sometimes, anger is the start of destruction of oneself.

Day 1

2011-02-28T14:06:00.000+08:00

Let this be the time where I won't stop and continue going. Let this be the time I can pull through.

Note of Apology.

2011-02-24T15:25:00.001+08:00

If you don't know me well, I'll let you know one thing.

"Things that really tears my heart apart and kills me deep down inside, I will NEVER tell it openly."

I have trust issues. Sue me?

So if you're wondering if I'll ever blog sad, depressing things here? No. And if that's the sole purpose you visit my site to take note of, sorry to waste your time. Please by all means, go move on with your life.

I'm very much aware that I know that I can't contain it deep inside and eventually I'll let it all out but I'm good with letting it build inside me first. I'll go rant somewhere else and won't let people who read this public blog of mine worry.

In any case, have a good Thursday everyone! I'll be working the whole weekend. It's a good thing I'm focusing on work.

Clearly I need it. Bye ♥

Tuesday Morning.

2011-02-22T12:44:00.000+08:00

Bokeh attempt during Abang Sabiq's wedding.

Woke up at 5am today as usual. Like I said yesterday, hopefully this cycle continues because it's a very much needed lifestyle that I need to follow.

Today feels like it's no different than yesterday. I really need to do something, I NEED to take the first step but I'm awfully scared and shy - mostly worried - on how do I go about taking the first step.

Who can I approach to ask for guidance? Besides God I mean. Don't mean to sound religious and I'm faaaaar from being a total religious person but faith is a beautiful thing that I'm grateful that I believe in it.

I'll end today with a day at work later... Random thought there. So Good Afternoon world!!!

Success!!

2011-02-21T13:26:00.002+08:00

This may sound trivial but I successfully cooked lunch for mum today and had a talk (or two, or three - okay, still ongoing)...

I may just jumped up a level of cooking according to the boss' (my mum -_-") level of skill. Just like The Sims 3, maybe.

And there's still laundry to do. Today is an official "Bond with Mum" day :)

I shall take the first step...

2011-02-21T08:47:00.004+08:00

Good Morning Earthlings.

It's a beautiful Monday morning, one that does not require me to rush and get ready for school. Sounds pleasing to the ear once in a while. Ironically, usually I would be asleep at this hour but due to the miracle of nature, time and God, I'm awake. In fact, I'm always awake in the morning and afternoon - dead asleep at night.

No longer a night owl? Maybe. Or perhaps it's just me being old. Totally not looking forward to November...

Now that I have an extra longer time on hand, I may just blog all day long or spend a long, long time in the kitchen cooking something. It's been a while since I've cooked grilled chicken or fish.

I could use some scrambled eggs with hot coffee right now.

I'm entering the state of time where I'll stare at my planner and seriously think about the future. I could do with an outing with friends here and there but the main question, what career am I going to choose for myself? Would I even be able to achieve what I'm hoping to achieve?

Questions, deep thinking and self reflections... But do I really want to spend my Monday morning like this?

All I know right now is that I'm beginning to stand on my very own two feet and taking responsibility of EVERYTHING that I'm doing... I no longer can share a mini percentage of my burden with my parents. In fact, I've stepped into the world where I'm now helping out my parents, a way that every child should.

It has made my relationship with my parents stronger. Definitely relieved them off a huge burden and I plan to keep it this way.

My brain is melting with tonnes to think of but I'll start with this Monday first. Let's see where time will bring me.

On another note, Mom needs to wake up so we can do something together... Maybe she's the one that will push me to start thinking in the right direction as she always does...

Till later, Happy Monday all!

Personal Note: If you read all that, thank you.

You are who you are today.

FYP makes you mental I guess?

In this case, it made Israel waaaaay too mental or something. Hmm... Can't think of a perfect analogy but oh well.

Oh and he tried black mailing me but it's not gonna work~

I have to constantly be on the move and not sit my ass too long at one place for a long time. I think I'm changing to be a more active person, not that I wasn't active before :P

But alas, cheers to 2010, it was a good and bad year. Hopefully God would always make every year to come the same.

For everytime you laugh, you need to cry.
For everytime you forget, you need to learn.
For everytime we go through hardships, we persevere.
For everytime we go through joy and happiness, we share!

Happy EARLY New Year Everyone!

I've spent my weekends, learning new skills. Like, I can make gif animations out of videos, try to capture some amazing shots from my Tomi and also improve on my photoshop skills.

Say, now I can edit videos and audio with free programs! From next week, I can add on to my 'Skills' list by learning how to use InDesign.

Ahh... So to whom do I owe the thanks to if not the dearest school? Thank you! Rest assured, this is not sarcasm. I really do appreciate it for it's useful for my own use.

Say, maybe I'll post random photos everytime but right now I want to show off my first gif image. I'm waiting for Hurricane And Suns to be my virgin TH gif animation (or not) but I used 2PM instead.

So what do you think? :D

Useful skills right? Comes in handy when it's been raining for a week and my laundry took 2 days extra to dry~

What's up with me now?

2010-11-13T12:38:00.002+08:00

2009 - 2010

Have we aged a year older gracefully?
I think our cheeks remained the same or possibly, chubbier.

Yo! Jlobelo! Look at this man...

Good times.

Trying to act cute was a recent hobby of mine. Okay maybe not that recent but recent enough for family gathering with my dad's side.

Yes, you guessed right. Old, overdue Hari Raya 2010 pictures~ I guess after this, I'll show Mum's side gathering pictures. I've yet to work on that -.-

Big family gatherings - both Mum and dad's side - are some thing that is treasurable and fun. No kidding bro.

Yeah hate me all you want. I'm still trying to learn to capture a pretty fabulous decent picture. I'M TRYINGGGGGGGGGG!

Move on. Move on.

2010-10-25T13:15:00.003+08:00

Thank you to Andie for introducing me to this song ♥

Why are you crying?

What are you doing?

Have you no strength?

You're just a weakling.
Where's your strength?

Aren't you gonna stand back up and fight?

Photos from Hari Raya

2010-10-04T10:09:00.001+08:00

I know it's old but there's too many photos to upload all at one go. I'm definitely storing them on this blog for memory keepsake when I read back through entries (in the near future). So when I feel like it, I'll post random bits at a time~

Maybe I should even create a new tag for it~ Hmm...

And that's my cousin, Ika. Very pretty aren't we?

And I don't know if you've noticed but I reduced my pictures to a smaller size. Finally remembered to change camera settings and change the image size. I have a memory of a pea >_<

2010-10-04T09:26:00.011+08:00

Can we try and stand back in the shadows and observe everything else that is happening around us?

Hello tree, I think we grew up together. I always see you everytime I woke up, leave or get back home and every other day. How does it feel being there everyday?

What? Yeah, I hear you. At least you don't have to face shit somewhere else like I do.

I think the fact that I've been whining about everything finally hits me in the head realizing how annoying it is just as I find other unnecessary whining. So, a bite back in my own ass. Thanks God, you sure made everything fair. I learnt my lesson (for now, I'm sure I'll whine pretty soon again).

If you caught me whining, feel free to give me some cheese to go with the whines.

P/s. I'm trying to learn food photography. I'm looking for resources and tips online but if you happen to know more or it is your field, feel free to share some tips with me! :)

P/p/s. Sorry for another imageless update. I've been busy O-O

P/p/p/s. I think I should sleep. Do you think I should? It's 2:11am...

Would it ever occur to you that I might quit smoking completely?

I don't know. Lately, after a stick or two, I'll get a headache. Sometimes, after awhile, the headaches get worst. Is this a sign that I could actually stop smoking for real?

I really do feel like quitting fully but knowing myself well, this might take awhile. At least now I'm not a total addict aka heavy smoker and I've finally gone back to being a social smoker? Hopefully.

I've disappeared from this blog for sometime. Well, with Hari Raya preparation and school, I dare say they did take up a lot of my time and energy. Even now (pushing Hari Raya aside), school might be the reason sucking my energy dry.

I've got to stop being a damn weakling and get back on track with being active physically and mentally. Not forgetting, the coffee intake. Fasting month has successfully cut down my caffeine intake - I think this is the reason why I'm easily exhausted now.

Anyway, a Late Selamat Hari Raya to all! How was your celebration? <3

I'm going to be changing the layout of the blog again. Probably sometime soon, since I'm going to be busy in a few days and in the long run. So I'll have time to look for inspirations and such. Then do a daily blogging kinda thing? Who knows... My mind is unstable or I'm just plain indecisive. We'll see.

It's in the wee hours of morning already and I'm on my second cup of coffee. Hmmm, asking for it aren't I? Yep, back to doing my minutes and putting together my research work~

Morning ^^V

Badass cutie is badass.

This is the first time that I felt the need/want to not smoke for a month.
Considering how much of a heavy smoker I am,
I'd say it feels like an achievement for me that I've managed to not to succumb to the need till now.

Only one more week to go.
I hope my resolve doesn't crumble even after the one month mark.

At least this is a small milestone that I've accomplished within this holy month.

In the kitchen

2010-08-29T23:07:00.005+08:00

I've been able to stand on my own two feet in cooking. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to teach you how to cook instant noodles or scrambled eggs nor is pouring cereal and milk into a bowl right?

So, I can hereby declare that I am the QUEEN OF INSTANT COOKING.

Campbell, Maggie and all those flavored spices in a cube, they are enough for me to cook a simple lunch/dinner :)

Ahhh~ Nothing beats starting a day with a cup of cold orange juice :) Vitamin Cs baby!!!

BURPtastic to me!

And I'm trying to learn to take proper food pictures because food pictures when well taken, can be equivalent to porn... JUST SAYING~

Fyp in short notice.

One thing regarding us DCID students is, punctuality (you get the drift). We promise we're working on it, Scouts and Girl Guides honor *does the salute*...

Okay, okay. On a real note, for such a short notice, managed to have the 5th/6th meeting with the team (3/5) and managed to get a few things done.

Today was a good day - full of laughter and surprises.

Let's keep the entry going with photos that features Victoria and Israel. Too much rambling from me would just annoy myself and you. That's unhealthy -.-

So, let's move on... Clicky clicky!

Okay so here's Victoria and Israel...

And you see us doing work...

Then you see us going home...

And we cross the road...

So we decided to walk to the interchange...

And while we were walking, we stopped in the middle of the field. It's too luscious green and a jump shot is a must... (I however, did not participate for I am the photographer ;D)

Israel wanted to know what the swivel screen is for... Thus, this was produced...

And then we continued our journey till we reached the Interchange/MRT station... However, we all took the bus to our next destination.

Thank you for taking the short journey with me :)

Yeah I know, I need to work on my photography skills. I'm trying! I promise you!

How was your day?

Weekend with the family...

2010-08-27T00:35:00.002+08:00

These are all old photos but hell, where to share it if not here? Well, here's the idea of this entry: MAKAN TIME.

This is a completely normal expression when it comes to taking photos of dear mum and me~

Caused one big HUGE burp at the end of the trip and if you know me well, a trip or two to the toilet. Digestive system stays mad active at 2-3am in the morning, God Knows Why!

I love weekends with food like this, even if it's the fasting month. Speaking of which, during this month, goal #1 - every time is to lose weight. I'm really failing this. Oh good God *facepalm*

See me get fatter on Hari Raya! Bye~

S**n

This, during my Understanding Tests 3.

Joy to the world, to all the boys and girls who are in the same motherfucking shoe as me.

Excuse me.

Perhaps it's gotten to the period of time, again, that spring cleaning is in dire need.

Or in my case forced upon. Despite being a neat freak, the mess is still accumulating.

It feels like a lifelong chore.
*whine whine whine whine*

P/s. I'm going to turn this site into my photoblog~ Where I can have photos flooding the space with words in between. You can totally skip my blog if it annoys you ^^V

Old school...

2010-08-21T16:16:00.004+08:00

It's like this now.

2010-08-15T18:56:00.003+08:00

Oh say hello to my newest baby... Called Tom.

I can't grow out of naming my stuff silly names but say 'Hi' to Tom or Tomi... Ahhh, well, this is my new sexy black, metallic, chic precious thing that I'll be keeping.

Got this after a deadly promise with the parents to excel in class, tests and what not...

Uh oh.

Having absolutely no drive, no motivation nor any form of enthusiasm for classes and catching up with it right smack after the Tokio Hotel Week in Singapore is really going to bite me in the ass.

Unless I start some serious mugging before UT3.

Oh look! Goal #23423 that I'll probably just say but do absolutely nothing to reach to it. How on earth am I suppose to fix this?!

But Tokio Hotel Week in Singapore was a success. Yes?

If only school had such magic to motivate me the same way............

Considering the quality of music these days. Gems like these are really diminishing due to auto tunes.

Her voice is magic. Media and Hollywood needs to shut up about her personal life.

In time.

2010-05-31T14:52:00.000+08:00

Pain pain pain.

Someone detach the lower half of my body from me. I can't stand anymore of this.

Hmmm.

2010-05-06T14:19:00.006+08:00

Right smack after a good weekend the work keeps on piling up and keeps on coming in - both official and not. It just keep on coming and I have been 'knocking back' coffee like Tequila Shots.

Oh, not to forget my insomnia shit.

Ah, real life, Hello to you too.

Soooo, I have Tokio Hotel mini-stickers and Bill stickers. What do I do with it? Would anyone even be interested? Hmmm.....

I'd like to hear all about your TH experience. Share it with me.

Thankful.

2010-05-03T20:09:00.002+08:00

This site is filled with dust. I should start public blogging at the side of private blogging. There's nothing wrong to public blogging anyway because life is supposed to be shared with other people.

So let's begin, I had a short weekend getaway and the weekend was fabulously spent with good company and music. Life could never get better.

My special thanks to the girls at Tokio Hotel Singapore Street Team who behaved so well and hoped you had an awesomely insane good time spent there. I'm sorry I didn't spend time with you guys but perhaps at local or other overseas gathering, I'll have the chance to hang out with you guys again :)

Happiness feels like a bliss after a monsoon of stressful life events. A good break like this is what I need once in a while.

So when things come crashing down on you, workload tends to pile up, the easiest way out is to quit.

You run around the circle of ignorance, played hide and seek with your conscience and avoiding the topic of responsibility.

Typical Aini, always looking for the easiest way out.

I'm a fighter, no?

This is probably a start over.

2010-03-04T00:35:00.005+08:00

And so it starts.

Again with the cycle of hoping for new beginnings and setting it into motion. Deleting the past and just focusing on the present. Will all this ever work?

Perhaps, the key to finding out is always keeping the positive eye open and close on the negativity. allow oneself a space to breathe and think over things calmly.

Then again, it's all part of a cycle.

One time, it'll go back to feeling that this path is screwed and you need to go back, reflect and create upon a new path that is yet to be figured.
