How does it feel like to pack up and run away? I can only imagine.

I cannot believe how awesome Avatar is. Totally unexpected.

When Dad initiates family outings, he takes them very seriously. Nobody is allowed to have plans and if anyone did, it better be a life-death situation. Meaning, I have to cancel my date with Paulie Wallie AGAIN. Last weekend we're supposed to be in KL/Bandung but Rashid has things to attend so the plan was off. That's how serious my Dad is when it comes to family stuff.

Anyway, Avatar - I didn't expect it to be this good. I've always wondered what the hype is all about. And unlike the hype about a certain blood-sucking saga, this one actually...lives up to its hype. (Okay...) We really wanted to watch it in 3D but the timing was off. I think the 3D effects will be extremely nicer. I tried reading the movie review but I couldn't understand it (HAHA) and was totally dreading to watch it. I think it's coz of the movie posters. I got turned off by the blue aliens. But now I think they're hot. -_-

Seriously though, I find certain aspects of the movie to be similar to what I believe in. About spirits around us, nature, and that humans return to Earth when they die because that's what they are made of. Water, Carbon, Ammonia, Lime, Phosphorous, Aluminum etc are some of the the basic elements/substances that makes us Human. The body’s only a combination of those simple elements/substances. Nothing more. I also feel that the movie is like a reflection of what's happening around us. The way we are treating our forests and mother nature in general.

OMG loveee the plot. I think everyone must watch it. Could be the movie of the year.

Buzz off vampires and werewolves. Blue things and Humanoids are cool.

i'm back home from pekanbaru. had two weddings to attend, one my cousin's and another my second cousin's (i think).

had quite a nice time, though it was quite rushed, rushing from one place to another. and also our flight and ferry got delayed so it was kinda tiring and reached home quite late last night.

for the uninitiated, pekanbaru is in indonesia, and that's where my late paternal grandma was from, and that's where most of my father's extended family is at. it's my kampung. this time, we also went to kerinci, which is a 2 hour drive away from pekanbaru, to attend my cousin's wedding. a cousin i've never seen before. haha. his father and my father are half-brothers. they have the same father but a different mother.

there were 21 of us in total from singapore that went to pekan, so it was quite a big group.

anyway, i'm very hungry right now. waiting for my mother to come back with food cos i haven't eaten since i arrived home last night.

edit: oh food is here! BK, yummy.

You know, when I read tweets from celebrities, them updating about their tour, their whereabouts... I wish I was one of them too. I wonder how is it like to be talented, famous and good-looking (okay that one make-up usually, but still). I wish I was famous enough to present or receive awards at the Grammy's or those EMAs, VMAs, blah blah blah. I wonder how does it feel to have half the world population looking up to you, supporting what you do, or even paying/saving up money to go to your performances.

But all these are not without sacrifices ain't it.

Perhaps they long to be home for Christmas and New Years because they've been missing spending time with their families. Perhaps they wish that they could have proper relationships, have true love strong enough that pre-nuptials are not necessary (I feel that's like buying a relationship, but that's another story). And there's paparazzis. Maybe they do get sick and tired of being observed and then having their photos splashed on tabloids with headlines such as "WORST DRESSED CELEB" or "XXX DIGGED HIS/HER NOSE!"

Grass always greener on the other side? Well at least they don't usually need to study (not linked to the release of results hor). Or work get extra allowance. Money buys happiness? They do, usually. Doesn't everyone feel happy when they get that latest phone, or that oh-so-atas dress/heels or spend it on a trip?

 

sudden heavy downpour plays with your emotions, doesn't it not. the smell of rain which penetrates the crisp air. the breeze which escalates alongside the falling rain in oversized droplets. ahh such bliss to be in this jubilant and calm state of emotions. waste no time further, ima spend the evening with mimeehh and fathin. the rain and some tender girly fun, perfect day it shall be.

Hmmm, Big Night Out 2010?

Ehh correction. I love Hannah Montana, but just okay with Miley Cyrus. How old am I? 21. AWESOME.

My youngest brother Aziz bought for me The Straits Times. Using his own money.

"70 cents only what!"

OMG so cute I could die.

8 more days! I hope all is not lost these 22 days. Life has a funny way of sneaking up on you when you think everything's alright. Okay that's from the song Ironic. 5 more days to Christmas I love this festive season; the Christmas trees, the pre- and post-Christmas sale, the cold weather (and in some lucky countries, the snow), the decorations, the story of the mistletoe...except that I have nobody to stand under it with. Maybe next Christmas?

I just spent a few hours with my sis watching Hannah Montana the series. I have no idea why I love Miley Cyrus. And Billy Ray Cyrus is quite a hottie. Too bad he didn't make it big.

& 10 more days before 2010. I remember writing down my wish for 2009 on those white balls last year. It came true. I did meet the person but let's see how the story continues. Goodnight everyone.

yesterday, i realise i have a soft spot for elderly people. i wondered if my late greatgrandmother was ever genuinely happy during her senior years. i've never regretted spending almost all my life with her, they're all memories now, but i really wished i'd done more. i really miss her. you are always in my prayers but sometimes i just wished i could hug you, like old times, you know? gah don't mind me. perhaps it was the wedding bells. everything went as planned, alhamdulillah! pictures are up on faceboook! :D

This, I can relate to.

• If you really want to get to the heart of the matter, consult your heart. Get over your pride- it doesn’t mean shit.
• You have to make your own closure.
• Suffering from a broken heart and harboring resentment for the one who broke it only keeps you tied to that person even longer. I don’t have time now for someone who didn’t think I was worth it then.
• The good times are easy to have. It’s the way a couple handles conflict that really determines the strength and quality of their relationship, and their maturity as individuals.
• Couplehood isn’t about equality, it is about cohesiveness. Relationships held to a 50/50 standard of “yours and mine” instead of “ours” are relationships that will suffer and lack joy.
• Very few circumstances have absolute values attributed to them, and seeing every event as right/wrong good/bad often causes us to see the world in a way that lacks the real truth.
• If someone you love is worth fighting for, fight for them.
• Take responsibility for the rules you create.
• Never underestimate the lingering value and sentiment of love notes.
• We always have the choice of how we will react, no matter what has been done to us.
• Forgiveness may not be easy but without it, we lose much more in the end than we ever lost in the first place.
• You need to grow into who you are before you can grow with someone else. Sometimes that means you have to say goodbye for a while.
• Life is good.
