I believe I've always been a spontaneous person and my close friends could attest to that. I love diving into stuff without having much proper advanced planning. Although for most stuff I do appreciate some general, structure or brief sketches here and there, I don't quite fancy too structured or too detailed planning because they don't quite turn out the way you expect them to and it could kill potential elements of surprise and adventure. But somehow since the past year, I have lost this so-called spontaneous tendencies. That is not surprising since executing spontaneous-ness would require a great deal of time in our hands. Anyway, I absolutely loved how I managed to slowly regain back this spontaneous-ness recently, almost effortlessly. My mom and I booked a flight to Langkawi 2 days prior to the date of departure, I booked a room at a beach resort 1 day prior to arriving there, I decided to catch The Internship while I was at work right about 5:50pm, for the 6:50pm...

So here's basically what sums up my Sunway getaway: - Sleeping late - And with that, of course waking up around noon almost everyday - Playing Monopoly Deal till late nights/early mornings - Social networking - And by this, knowing Kiki's circle of friends in Sunway, thank you for making my stay awesomest! (: Kiki has awesome housemates and her roommate from Sabah is hilariously expressive! - How I Met Your Mother marathon. In need to finish up Season 5 before the semester starts! - Karaoke with an unbelievable, cheap cost of 5 Sg bucks somewhere in Sunway Pyramid. It's not even those shady-looking karaokes, it's actually better than decent. Zomg, why is karaoke in Singapore so bloody expensive?! - Had the best of both worlds of food. Hands down, nothing can ever beat hawker centre food with sumptuous home-cooked meals. It makes me feel closer to home. And for what felt like the longest time ever, I finally taste the best Nasi Padang with awesome belachan! Everything fo...

Woohoo, I'm typing this away in Kiki's hostel room in Sunway campus, Malaysia. How awesome is that! Ok, so the story is, I made an impulsive (and I mean this well) decision right about two days ago, probably 1 ish or 2 am on Monday after Khai and I got chased by a cat (this is another story altogether, gonna skip this). An impulsive, spontaneous decision to follow Kiki back to her campus and bunk into her hostel room, and to relive what Nuurun and I did exactly a year ago. And the best part is, when Kiki's friends asked me how long will I be staying here, the only thing I could say is, I don't know. Haha, I'll go home whenever I feel like, so we'll see! So we just reached here 8 pm, bumped into few of Kiki's friends and drove us for dinner. Cool medicine students. Ok ciao.

Now I feel like doing just one thing and that's just it. So far I feel like I've been running around doing a million random things, like tuitioning, and then to autism centre for volunteer, and then interviewing dialysis patients. And then soon I will be helping khalilah with a one-day media corp thing and there's gonna be YOG training soon. I need to just do one thing, I'm feeling kind of bored just being here and there, and everywhere. KL for 3 days was awesome. Being high during the course of the trip was an understatement. Shopping there was a disappointment though, hopefully I'll be able to go there again in July and perhaps the sales would be better. But food wasn't a letdown at all. I wish the trip was longer though. Actually, I just feel like being in some faraway place to get a good feel of holiday mood because I don't feel much of a holiday just being in Singapore. Dream on. I also need to find some good deal of time to read. I hate it that everyti...

:D Isn't she just great? I have this affinity for singers who strum! This is something random, but do you know that President Obama grew up in Indonesia, and that he actually craves so much for the Indonesian Nasi Goreng and possibly Mee Bakso as well as rambutans, hehe! I've been thinking about the few places I'd like to visit in the near future when I'm financially independent. I've been enthusiastically viewing Lina's photos of Phuket with inputs of innumerable comments (lol) and I can't help but desiring to be there as well! So here's the list: - Greece - South of France! - Mauritius - Thailand - Turkey - Iran - Australia - Predominantly relaxing, resort-laden islands in Malaysia and Indonesia - Canada - South Korea I know these are simply too many and possibly financially draining as well, but should dream big as long as we live :) I've also been watching YouTube videos portraying the Muslim community in France, knowing that it has the largest ...

I just got back from the perfect getaway of the moment yesterday afternoon. Technically I didn't really stay in KL, it's more of staying at Sunway at Sunway hostel in the compounds of the Sunway University campus. How cool huh? Perfect was the word to describe because I ate to my heart's content (someone remind me that gluttony is one of the deadly sins), slept till late, unrushed, carefree and with heaps of laughter. It was just pure fun and it was nice seeing Kiki again, thanks for the accomodation in your room! And all the fun hassle to come in and out of the hostel separately just not to get the security guards suspicious. Haha. So I'm a happy goober. Why? Here's the list of things/places we ate at: Nandos Subway Auntie Anne's Baskin Robbins (nuurun had tons of ice cream) Ichiban Ramen J.co Some bakery Secret Recipe A&W Johnny's Paratha Wrap/Crispy Wrap San Francisco Coffee Restoran Nasi Kandar Jaafar (LOL) Haagen Daaz Manhattan Fish Market Food cour...

Perhaps I should put on my glasses to look as closest as possible to my old passport photo. KL tomorrow with nuurun and kiki baby! Random getaway, just needed to see somewhere else. Tonight I'm thinking of a situation whereby how you can easily lose a friend just because of a break-up. I think this is stupid and this is so unnecessary. Especially when both parties haven't had any closure and they are not friends just because of a dumb break-up. Why can't people just fight for the friendship at least if you can't build a relationship? Aren't humans created so that they can form bonds? Either way, if a relationship doesn't work out, they can always be friends for all you know, perhaps that's what they are meant to remain as. Being total strangers is just being absolutely mean. There's always the second best option. No harm trying? Period. and i don't know what the hell is the trigger for such rants above. ignore me. Forget me not, I ask of you Wherever...

It's totally way past my sleepy time. So that's great. Been looking through pictures of St. Mathieu. So so gorgeous. From where I am, seated behind this laptop screen and just looking at pictures of the Atlantic Ocean, of the lighthouse and of myself being there, of the greatest things; it makes me feel so small. In a wondrous, amazing way, I feel small at such God's creation of beauty and nature. I am still mesmerized and awed. Even a single step there isn't enough to take it all in, how less would it be through pictures? But it's still breathtaking. Yet, that's just only one place out of billions of places that exist in the world.
