heh, i’ve just realised that the 7th agenda on the list was the first which i managed to do…. why ah? we always seemed to rush for things which don’t really matter when there are so many things in this world which demand concern. but we can only think and do so much.

i simply loved stardust, even though i got chided from ratu for going alone, she wanted me to go with dayah or some friend or tooottt, (what? you’re allowing me to date now???). 24 and still got lectured, haha. i kinda broke the familial tradition of going to cinemas together, or at least with some friends. but then… all of us are busy. mom and dad working, me working 7 days a week and my weekend working time is so toootttt, nuri busy with her preparations for her trip to India, Siti always busy with floorball or jamming, haliffi busy with sleep, gaming and night working shifts so he needs his sleeps during the day, and my little brother, well, he doesn’t really fancy stardust~ waaaa, macam anak terpinggir. haha. admit that i didn’t ask any of my friends, because i know my time will always clash with theirs (orang lain off weekends, gue enggak ada sih), and i planned to go to some place neighbourhood, no need for the glam of the town or wherever. and the only time am able to is to go someplace near my workplace after work. so junction 8’s the choice, booked evening show, had cheesy pasta for dinner, and before i knew it, i’m watching stardust~ so what if there were couples around or groups of friends filling up the room, i’m so damn happy and laughing my head off at those 7 dead princes!

i had been truly busy this week, trainings for teachers are starting soon and i’ve been receiving registrations, collating databases, calling up education officers reminding them to remind teachers about the profiling exercise and whatnots. 9 hours a day is seriously not enough. i’m rushing for time. truly. but that’s what makes a job rather bearable and it kills the boredom.

my best IIU roomie from Perak ties the knot today, and am sore that i couldn’t go to her wedding!!! i was so looking forward to it!! and then am stuck with some work, and furthermore, my little sister is going off for her 2-week student exchange programme to India tomorrow morning. i couldn’t bear to not see her before her trip.

so to dear Anna and Wan, my prayers for you newly-weds. i wish i was there to share the joy, but we’re so far away. here’s me and anna during our convocation. and no the guy’s not Wan, just her classmate. lord, we grew up. i miss our late night talks, miss your smile and enthusiasm, i have to say, you’re my best roomie, how we rule the room coz there was just the two of us before bushra came in, you cluttering around every morning, and being with me when i was in a distressed situation, along with julia, supporting us all the way and for showing me the ‘real weird world’ remember we always say : IIU is full of weird peoples! our love for reading! and the twins at st clare’s!!!

ok, so enough melancholy. i’m just happy that my week’s fulfilled. eating outs with colleagues , getting non-visible fat every day! but i had fun and i love all the people. hours well-spent in the office, nights well spent helping little sister to shop and pack things up. watch HEROES and the Ghost Whisperer, and deafening my ears with 30 seconds from mars and lots of personal reflections.

and yes, meeting with people who are on the ground with young people, discussing with them. Lord, we have a lot of things to do. and just tonight, senja2, a group of malay kids hanging out at the porch at the park, making noises. i just, pity them. i wanted to do something. Lord, please help us. for we have known, it’s upon us to let people know, aren’t we??

and we have been hearing good news throughout, people tying the knots, people welcoming babies, people having success, winning service awards, having breaks after days of exams, meeting girlfriends (can’t wait to see you girls this weekend, please please let it be real). and cuzzy aili having a dream about me…*winks at aili*

thank you lord for the gift of life.
