holiday blues

when your own mother said, "you're a different person.you're not the Adik we knew", it hurt alot.

when your family wanted to cut their holiday short, it hurt alot.

when your parents cried in front of you, it hurt alot.

i hurt alot too.


lesson learned.

gifted

as promised, here's an entry on the gifts.i didnt get alot but it doesnt matter.i've gotten too much already.

the first one came from hana

the loveliest address book ever!
i love, love, love.im saving this for cute/handsome guys..

then this bag from my brother
(i cudnt decide which one to buy so he said he'll pay for one of it)

isnt it gorgeous?

***

2 days after, i got this from my housemates + other 2 frens

now i can buy THE bag that i wanted.or THE heels (that i dreamed of too)

***

and the other day, another surprise came from my brother

it's exactly what i was looking for (a headphone)
except,the colour is too..erm....pink?

nevertheless, i LOVE them all.and i havent gotten a present from my parents.but its coming soon! my mom refused to tell me what it is.i got my cousin to do the spying for me but mom just wudnt spill! sigh.guess i'll just have to wait.

on another note, below are the stuffs that i bought at the market.

the other 3 handbags

i cudnt resist not having those bags.very vintage-licious.
except the small one lah.i bought it because it was only $2.

***

then i bought this dress.

very the makcik but im proud to say that i can pull it off, ya'll.

a t-shirt

been a while since i bought one.so here's to S-yafina!

***
the BEST buy ever

a singaporean girl sold this for $10.gile ke!
i love everything about it, the material, the design, the cut.
and ahem..my frens love it too! teehee

***

my last entry of this wallet didnt do it's justice.
so i took another picture of it.
i was looking at the detailing of the wallet
and i realize that its probably not the original Tod's.
of course the first time i saw the buckle-sort-of-thing it i was too eksaited.
but yeah, its ok.for $10 i cant complain!


and here's a closer picture of the glasses.


PHEW.this IS a very long entry.
sorry bout that tho.
wanted to keep it short but i just cudnt stop!

three

2nd cake

i know her dad had 3 birthday celebrations, but i had 3 too!so on that term, we're the same.well, i cant of course, beat them financially.they are way too rich.but in a sense of celebration, thats when i can at least, be at par with them (i wish!) haha.so, her family had food at french restaurants, chinese restaurants and the cutest cakes ever.oh well..

my birthday celebration started at 12am where my dear housemates sang the birthday song (duh! takkan lagu britney kot) with the first cake.dang.i dont have the picture of it.nvmnd.then we ate together (hana was there too!) and i fell asleep smiling.the next morning, woke up early to go to the sunday market.i had some cash in the wallet and said to myself that i'd spend $20 the highest.i was wrong.i spent $100++ at a SUNDAY MARKET! wow.who wud have thot, huh.i bought 4 handbags, 3 of them are vintage, 1 small handbag, 1 vintage dress (10bucks ok!), a VERY nice dress ($10 too), a t-shirt and a cardi.i realized i went vintage all week.i even bought that wallet (recently posted) and the glasses at my favourite vintage shop.

ka-ching!

u see, i wasnt the only one going crazy at the market

catch of the day (that includes hana's too!)

then off we went to tina's & yana's house for house kooling/raya haji/etc.had our lunch to some mee hoon goreng (pedas!) and fruit salad and bread pudding. *burp* we spent quite some time there and played Chotai (not too sure if thats the right spelling).before we made our move to aes's and azizi's house for yet another makan2, kak add suddenly wished me (again) happy birthday! then the whole people in the house started singing.ai tersipu2 malu ok! i was trying very hard to hide my shyness (that is, by laughing like a hyena).after the wishes subsided, hands shaked, friend hugging, we started walking.kak jaja, kak efa and ili walked too fast and left me, shah and hana behind.then out of nowhere, shah said he wanted to go to buy some pizza (pls note that we just had our lunch here).i was quite mad because i had another house to go to after going to aes's.i sulkily followed him and hana to the bakery and cant stop looking at my watch.stressing ok!

eat and eat and eat

my housemates + the hosts + hana

we arrived at aes and azizi's house at 4pm ++ and i was a bit worried because that meant that i wont make it in time to get to my fren's house by 6pm.grr..so as we were talking blablabla, i had to go to the loo and after using the tap water, it dripped.being a slightly jumpy/nervous/etc person, i wanted to shout aes's name but decided to just tell her in the living room.as i open the toilet door and to the living room's door, i felt weird because i didnt hear anyone talking or the tv sound but i opened it anyway.to my surprise, the living room was dark and the only thing i saw sparkling at me was a cake (1st picture). my brain didnt take that too well and sent a msg to my hand to close the door! so while i was feeling shocked, i close the door and my heart started to beat fast, but my lips were smiling.i got surprised, ya'll! (sounded a bit off but idk.HAHA) then ili opened the door for me and they sang (the birthday song again).THIS is what i've been waiting for my whole life.a surprise birthday party.alhamdulillah, i got it.

teehee

he told my mum about it.

about 8pm, me and hana made our move to lin's house to have some thai food.yummm..i was feeling guilty for coming in too late but when we arrived, i was greeted with birthday wishes that i didnt have the chance to really apologize.they had eaten and were just chatting with each other.lin served us the food and boy, it was THE most amazing thai food ever! kudos tu lin! then we had some fruit cocktail that dinesh made.delish! (he said it's his secret recipe but ended up telling us the secret!) then anna ask me if i've went to the balcony and see the view.i said no and i went.the balcony is HUGE.i've never seen a balcony that big.and the view was breathtaking.lucky lin.so as we were taking pictures at the balcony, suddenly lin switched off the lights and jan was shouting, 'ey, turn on the lights! turn on the lights!'.tiba2, happy birthday to youuu~ happy birthday to youuu~ (anna, lin and sneha brought a cake from the kitchen).i was laughing (again!) and blew the cake along with jan because her birthday was few days earlier than mine.double celebration lah.

thank god we have a timer

jan and i

sneha, anna and lin, the host

so, i had three celebrations on my birthday, which, im very thankful for.thanks for making it happen.thanks hana for being there too! i'll create another post on the presents soon AND the stuffs i bought from the market.

im full and im vintage ya'll.

Al-Fatihah

i lost my uncle earlier this week.he died in his sleep in Mecca.when i first heard it, of course, i was shocked and sadden by the news.called my cousins but couldnt get thru.i know, they probably dont want to be disturbed.then i thot about my aunt, who went for Haj together with the husband.i cudnt imagine how it feels like waking up and realize the person sleeping next to me had died.i felt really2 sorry for her and their children.but what happened later that day, totally changed my feelings.

that night, i told a fren (who happened to be at the house) and my housemates about it.after hearing what i had to say, the fren said, Alhamdulillah.i was stumped.i didnt know how to react.i was like, 'Alhamdulillah?my uncle just died!' but then she and the rest explained.she said something like, 'Alhamdulillah, dia adalah antara org yg dipilih oleh Allah.bukan senang nak meninggal kat Mekah.orang lain mati kat atas jalan etc.mesti dia ada buat sesuatu yg baik/betul' (thank God, he's one of those chosen to die in Mecca.Everyone else died on the streets etc.he must have done something right). i felt ashamed of myself for not being able to look at it in a different perspective.i know why tho..my knowledge on my own religion is shallow.and for that,i am ashamed.thankfully, the fren and my housemates are here to always remind me.

now i know how lucky my late uncle was.he died in a Holy place and millions of people prayed for him in Masjidil Haram.Alhamdulillah.


"Syukur ckp paklong tu nnt ms hari yg kita semua dibangkitkn, dia bangun dgn sahabat2 rasulullah...pastu dosa dia smua dihapuskn sbb dia meninggal ms dia br hbs haji, dia suci xde dosa mcm baby..pastu smlm juta org solat jenazah utk dia..bertuah kn nana..."

MasyaAllah
