GIRLS TALK BOYS

SELAMAT HARI RAYA!!!!

MAAF ZAHIR & BATIN!!!

The first Eid without my dearest grandfather, well, not the same anymore.

But we all move on and forward.

InsyaAllah, I'll be graduating next year in May.

I'll be registering for the graduation soon, teehee.

Alhamdulillah for the journey thus far, though challenging, still manageable.

I can't believe I started my degree during the SPARK period/year.

Because that was the toughest/stress-est I've ever been in my life.

Not even exams in pri/sec school got me this stressed out.

SPARK is brutal. :(

I'm still trying to decide between resigning at the end of 2016 or after Semester 1 in 2017.

I haven't discussed this with the boss so I'll leave it till appraisal period to raise it.

Of course, leaving earlier is better on my financial situation, especially.

I know it's been too long. Sometimes, I just don't know what to say.

I've been in the baddest of moods last week for the entire week. :O

Anywayssss, till next time, InsyaAllah.

Planning an end of year vacay thanks to my sister's sponsorship teehee.

Guess providing for her has paid off somehow teehee.

Can't wait! :3

Till next time. InsyaAllah.

Busy bee la this one. Soz.

Cause I been talking to my friends

The way you take away my breath

It's something bigger than myself

It's something I don't understand

Yellow

It's been a while since I last posted.

Been busy.

Adulthood's a busy place.

Today marks 6 years 9 months for us.

:')

We've been through so much, jeez, I can't even measure how much that how much really is because, it hasn't been an easy journey.

Especially when you have people like me being very emotional and clingy and teary everytime I'm on my period.

Well, not really, just that one time. (Keyword: ONE time)

I haven't been emotional about us for a very long time.

I was supposed to be at his house in the morning for the usual ngaji but I got really sick.

I must have caught some bug from the kids or something, the attendance this week had been pretty poor, what with one hospitalization and all. And because of this, I've been in bed sleeping the day away all day so I'm totally behind on my portfolios. *inserts panicked face here*

Anyway, 3 more months till the 7th of August which will mark our 7th year.

Pretty mindblown.

The fact is, when I met him just last Tuesday, it was the first time since almost 3 months. 

The last time we met was for Deadpool in like, Feb?

I know right. Haha.

I've had friends and colleagues asking how we deal with the distance and even not meeting for that long.

And to be honest, I myself don't know how we do it.

I guess it's always been one day at a time.

Ya know how they say,  everyday is a day closer to the next time you'll see each other.

And besides, we're busy with our own stuff.

The next thing we know, we got a date.

Hahahaha.

I don't really know what the point of this post was.

But just needed to make sure the blog doesn't die.

Nat sent me a picture of a book we once had back in 2009 that we were supposed to write in and pass between each other.

Just like we did in secondary school.

You can think of it like a Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants kinda thing.

Just that for us, it's a book.

Anyway, when Nat sent the pic to me, I got all nostalgic.

I missed writing really bad.

And I mean, literally writing, not typing like right now.

I used to write stories and she was my number one fan.

And we had all those diaries since Sec 1. 

Gosh, Sec 1 feels like a lifetime ago.

I remember being excited for the future, for work, for my own income.

Now I wish I could take it all back and go back to school, where your only worries would be your homework and passing your exams.

I cannot believe I'm turning 25 this year.

Time is flying so fast.

I can't wait for this though.

Just one more module to go.

InsyaAllah, next year.

Seems like I'm cramming a lot of stuff from the last couple of months in this post.

Yeah, I've been very busy and yet, I can't even remember with what.

Ahmad called, hahaha.

#almost7 and still feels surreal.

How did I get so lucky? :')

Till the next post, InsyaAllah. :3

Look at the stars 

Look how they shine for you 

And everything you do 

Yeah, they were all yellow

5 SECONDS OF SUMMER

THE 5SOS CONCERT WAS THE BOMB!

*WARNING: I will sound like a complete fan girl here because it's been too long since I liked a band this much. I'd try to tone it down but we'll see. & this is probably the only time I'd scream and fan over a group of boys way younger than me. Hehehehe.

I never thought that I would ever watch the boys live, if ever they came here. So when they announced their Sounds Live Feels Live tour, I didn't hope for much because it was the UK tour. THEN! I saw on their IG the promo poster for the Asia SLFL tour and I was over the moon! I even considered buying a tix for my sis because she was forced to listen to the new album because I played it ALL THE TIME at home. THEN! I thought of Amielia and asked her if she was going. She was almost going to buy the VIP tix and go on her own when I asked. So we ended up going together and it was such an amazing experience, having a friend fan to go with. We had a good view too because our seats were on the first row of the elevated section, so we were not that blocked by the posters and phones and lots of hands up in the air. *heart eyes*

Ready to start the night

Ready to scream and shout and jump and sing our hearts out

Cal baby!!!! (on the right *heart eyessss*)

They started off with "Carry On" from SGFG and on to their hits. When they started the intro to "Disconnected", I was screaming my head off already because I love that song! Ditched my phone in my pocket and just sang along because I didn't want to look at them from behind my phone screen. Enjoy the moment while it lasts, right? 

And THEN, we got to the best part: Waste The Night, Castaway and Jet Black Heart. Mike was awesome with the long note in the intro for JBH, I WAS MINDBLOWN. 

The whole song was so super intense. And Calum with his solo....

Cal shared about his backstage fumble, falling in a box that he thought was full. That kid is adorable. Sorry, I'm a Calum girl, hehehehe... :B (Unfortunately, I can't upload the video of when he told that story because Blogger sucks at only 100MB per vid. Boo you.)

So then they got to my all time favourite: Amnesia, because the lyrics sang out to me when I first heard it. And Beside You, which was the first ever song that I heard from them, whose lyrics perfectly matched what I felt about my "long-distance" relationship.  This made me curious about this band, because their lyrics were so deep and in tune to my feelings. The second album had songs that literally made me cry. Check out Broken Home and Invisible. Though I wish they sang these two live, it would have connected the audience to them even better.

Anyway, you'd realise (and so would the people standing behind me, if they noticed) that I only video-ed Cal's solos and parts in the songs. That's all I record and then I'll start jumping and singing my heart out, while holding onto the handrails in front of me lest I fall off 'cause I was totally leaning forward hahahaha!

Calum sounded beautiful, dammit! But Luke was too, and Mike, and Ash at the drums all sweaty was damn sexy. 

See, I come to a band concert and I only have eyes for their bassist.

That body though, those arms though.

HEART EYES HERE PLZZZ

:3

Here's Ashton with the drums that sexy dude

From End Up Here, Voodoo Doll, Good Girls, Permanent Vacation and What I Like About You, completely ditched my phone and sang along. By then, I realised all that jumping messed up my tudung, LOL. They ended off the night with She's Kinda Hot and She Looks So Perfect. Their iconic jump for SLSP was damn perfect.

At the end of it all, I realised that I had really, thoroughly enjoyed myself, and I couldn't remember when I last had this much fun. My voice had turned hoarse and my throat hurt from all the screaming and shouting. The fact that I was standing throughout, quite forgetting that I always had back pain when I stood for long hours, and didn't even feel anything throughout the entire thing was and felt amazing. That was when I knew that I really had fun. 

Thank you 5SOS, you guys were royal gold! Hearts and love for you! :3

Thank you Amielia for the best seats you could get for us. No one better to share this experience with than you. 

The messy us post-concert. 

My tudung was all over the place and one brooch fell out lol.

So yup, I wanted to blog this while it was still fresh in my mind. I was humming and singing their songs at work the next day, and I was in a very good mood despite little sleep because I was still reeling from the experience.

This was my first ever band concert. A band that I love. I didn't get to watch Westlife, not even Boys Like Girls, or Mayday Parade. But this, is good enough. I hope they come again, because I would go again. I don't care how old I'll be by then but I would still go and watch them again.

Still in a good mood about this. It's a wish come true. I'll probably watch their interviews when I have the time. Hehehe.

Bridesmaid duty next month, pretty excited about it too.

Still, I think 5SOS is the highlight of my 2016. Ditching reality to enjoy their concert never felt so good. Till here, and I really should post about Phuket soon. I hope to travel again this year. Saving up so religiously. :D

Cal baby stop being so sexy

There is something incredibly wrong with me at this current moment. Actually, it only started last night. I believe it's the hormones. And I believe it only started after meeting Ahmad after who knows how long. I felt like I haven't seen him for years, haven't spoken to him for years and spending the few hours I did with him last night probably unhinged me. I realized how much I actually, really missed him. Maybe because I didn't get to talk to him so much this week, because I was just so damn tired, and work had me busy in the day so I can't talk to him either. Basically, I've been crying since we said our goodbyes last night.

Every song I listen to makes me think of him and I cry. Every single time I think of him, I cry. It's like someone just died and I don't know wtf is wrong with me and how to fix this. I was out with my parents today and while having lunch, I thought of him and a tear escaped from my eye. I had to quickly calm myself down or my parents would notice, like whytf was I crying in the middle of lunch.

Need this to be over asap. Can't go to work like this. 2 pregnant women at work complained of back pain, nausea and tantrums at home to their husbands. Yet, here I am crying like I'm pregnant too. Something is hell wrong right now.

I still haven't posted about Phuket. I just remembered. Ha. Ha.

Under extreme stress right now.

Wish I was there instead.

You don't get this kind of scenery in SG.

Beside You

Salam all!

Hope you've been well (if I still have readers)....

The year is almost coming to an end.

How fast time flies.

Our wedding will be at the end of the year.

But don't know which year yet.

HAHAHAHA.

Lame joke, I know. :3

Just wanna take a moment to appreciate this guy.

Distance sucks, and we're still in the same country.

Busy people, busy schedules.

But we make do with whatever time we have and that's what I love about us.

Words are not enough to express how much he means to me.

There is no way I can even begin to tell you how important this guy is to me.

And as we move on to a new year, with even more busy schedules (because adulthood sucks like that), I hope we'll make it through it all.

It's been what? 6 years 4 months since it all started.

 And that's honestly a very long time.

(I'm still secretly wondering when he'll get tired of me.)

But even though it's been 6 years plus, he still makes my heart pound harder.

Still gives me butterflies in my stomach.

After such a long time, I still feel the same way, maybe even more now, for him.

It always amazes me.

*heart eyes*

I'll come back again to post about my Phuket trip. 

Maybe on a night where I don't have work the next day.

Cause all my weeknights are dedicated to:

- cutting

- laminating

- designing/planning things to print

I know.

Pretty much consumed by my job.

But, I still feel some satisfaction at the end of the day.

(The boyfriend painted my classroom for me today btw thanks baby :3)

I cannot believe next week is the last week of the holidays.

How did time pass by so freaking fast?!

I'm not sure I'm ready for the new school year yet.

Apparently still have the same afternoon student who gave me loads of hell this year. :(

Until here.

I'll post about Phuket soon, InsyaAllah.

When we both fall asleep underneath the same sky

To the beat of our hearts at the same time

So close but so far away

When we both wake up underneath the same sun

Time stops, I wish that I could rewind

So close but so far away

Fix You

& just like that, he returned to Allah.

It's surreal how that same morning I was taking care of him and he left us in the late afternoon.

How strong my parents have been throughout this whole month.

Sacrificing so much for him.

How my mother pulled herself together after breaking down when he drew his last breath.

How my dad supported her throughout.

You learn a lot about your family (and extended family) when a loved one gets critically ill.

My parents and sisters, we've done our part, the best we could.

No matter how helpless I used to feel, I hope my part was enough to show that I cared about him.

It was a 2 month battle since the onset.

I miss him already and it's only been 2 days.

How I healed from Angah's demise, I'm not sure.

But whatever I did, I hope I can do the same because it's all I can do not to cry overtime I think about him.

Until here.
I know it'll get better.
We grieve, and we move on because we have to.
The only way is forward.
:)

When you try your best but you don't succeed 

When you get what you want but not what you need 

When you feel so tired but you can't sleep 

Stuck in reverse 

When the tears come streaming down your face 

When you lose something you can't replace 

When you love someone but it goes to waste 

Could it be worse?
