Am back in Singapore. i can’t imagine how relieving it is to be back here and not doing anything…well, almost nothing…considering I’ll be having ASSIIUM meetings now and then. I just cannot escape, can’t I?? And speaking of which…I arrived from Pahang to IIUM on the 27th at night, got into driving class on the 28th, left for Singapore on that same night, thus, arrived Singapore on the 29th early in the morning, in the wee hours…arrived home at exactly 7.30 am, and guess what, I have a meeting at 11 am!! Already! My Romo was unhappy about it. He insisted on me to just have a rest and missed the meeting, but I just can’t because the rest had already postponed the meeting to wait for me. So to Bugis on my first day in Singapore.

Good news, the new students are all fine and well, quite relieved on that, considering I couldn’t see them even though I’m technically at IIU, but fortunately Loy and Fadiah is in the Ta’aruf committee, so I hope they could be there for the new Singapore students. And Radio Singapore International (RSI) wants to have a programme at IIU, and they approached us for help! It’s a big thing, and we barely just started the term for the new excos. Everything’s vague at the moment but it’s going to be one of the exciting programmes for ASSIIUM as well. Hoping for the best.

And had a picnic with some of the girls at East Coast Park. At first there was only me, Aisyah Spec, Far and Dewi. Shasha and Aili arrived later, but with a surprise visit by Kak Mizah!!! It was fun all over, of course, we are considered in complete since there’s still a few who did not join the gathering. I do not want to spoil the fun but telling this out will clear my mind and I have to say that sometimes some people seem to be in glory giving out comments or snide remarks without thinking about other’s feelings, and the irony is that, they themselves sulk when comments are given to their face and me? Well, I’m supposed to be happy when they gave sharp remarks and act as though it doesn’t matter. Sometimes I did and totally forgot about it, sometimes I said something back and most of the time, I don’t bother. They don’t matter to me anyway. Well, it was evening already and I said I wanted to go now, I want to catch up the first episode of Charmed. The girls dissuaded me but I insisted. Then one of them commented that something about she doesn’t understand this worldly interest on tv series instead of being with friends. I see but hello, whose the one who just bought an ultra expensive handphone?? My Charmed doesn’t cost a thing~ Whose being worldly?? They kept on persuading and I told them, come on, I promised my sisters we would watch Charmed together with Ratu and all, I need to spend time with them, I’ve just arrived here, and already I had a meeting and going out with you all. I only have less than two weeks to spend with my FAMILY. All of them had had two weeks’ stay in Singapore already. Have a heart. And the same person commented, though I admitted on joking manner: I’m just giving ALASAN. I mean for God’s sake I see you everyday in IIU and almost got sick of it, I want to be with my family, and you’re saying I’m being lame giving reasons.

At the end of it, I stayed, but with the promise of Kak Mizah’s driving us home. Managed to catch the last 30 minutes of Charmed. Damn.

So for the first few days in Singapore, I’ve had fun and a little hurt, but then she’s always like that, like once I strongly did not want to go out with them, having to save up to survive, she commented, hey she didn’t have the money too but surprise, surprise, she shopped the most at the end of the day. Thank GOD I did not join them, or I might have to hang myself. So yeah she’s always like that. Spoiling things sometimes with her words, especially spoiling my moods!!

All the same, once again, TRULY HAPPY TO BE BACK IN SINGAPORE. alrighty, going back to my family! Ciao~
