Lin the procrastinat-or :P
went to a talk yesterday by Professor Abdul Hakim Jackson on diversity and tolerance..it was a very interesting experience for me as it was my first time attending his series of talks and also my first time attending a talk on Islam in English by an American professor..and it's certainly very different..Syarahans by ustadz or ustadzahs from Singapore or across the causeways are certainly a far cry from what i attended yesterday..i dun mean to be rude or critical but syarahans tend to be more focused on rituals..which is also good cos it is a reminder for all of us to not forget our duties..however...the talk s i attended yesterday showed me the beauty of Islam...and how i could connest with my faith in a totally different way..and that there is more to Islam then performing my prayers five times a day.. i think the Muslims in Singapore fail to recognize that Islam is beyond a religion...it can be applied in all aspects of life and should not be viewed as something that hinders us from going thru our life like a normal person. well i do not think tat it is entirely the fault of the individual...it is our responsibility to explore Islam beyond what is expected of us..Insyallah....
well that is just my humble opinion ...
anw..i just wanna say sorry to sufiyan for not being able to mak it to his gathering at his place..i really wanted to go it's just that circumstances does not permit..i'm really sorry and i'd make it up to you...
today was spent mostly with the family after talaqqi class..just running errands and buying shoes for shirah...it was ok i guess..nothing much...
i really should stop procrastinating and get on with my work but i am so LAZY........................ -_-
ok la FINe..i'll do my work after dinner...........eerrggghhhh..
adieu all

Endless meetings
i have an attention span of about one hour max...and then after that i get restless...but today's meeting for pentas budaya is ok..2 hours and i could last..sometimes..when there are too amny "smart" ppl around..meetings are really a bore..i mean they want to explore every single posiibility of something happening which is good and bad..it's good cos u anticipate..but it's bad at meetings it just makes me wanna scream...almost la..
oh and another bad thing is that i'm so involved that i forgot what are the events i am involve in and my positions..haha...but insyAllah i'll get a hang of it...actually iit's quite pathetic..i'm not even like a president..i dun have like extremely important meetings to attend to..but i'm already so full...:p takperla..just act busy so i dun have to think about other things..
went to late late lunch with the pentas budaya ppl..i'm quite happy that i'm working with these ppl..they're a cool and frenly bunch ..so yay for me! hope it doesnt change...

HELLO KITTY like so totally rocks!
i bought myself two hello kitty stuff today. one container and one hello kitty padlock, which is like the cutest thing ever.Thank god for Daiso for affordable Hello Kitty Stuff...and no thanks to my mom who refused to give me money to buy my hello kitty tooth brush at abu dbu dhabi..i mean it was the cutest thing ever and it came in it's own little hello kitty bag..PLUS..a hello kitty toothpaste..all that for ONLY 20 Dhs..whic is roughly less than S$10..:( i dunno why..but hello kitty gives me a certain kind of high. i can have the worst day of my life but when i look at hello kitty i just feel nice...and to think that i used to hate the cat with no mouth. heh.
oh and Singapore should really start bringing these shops to our shores
1. HnM
Winni was right..this store rocks ass..i finally finally bought my skinnies ..black to be precise..it was worth my mom being unhappy with me..heh...i mean hello..it was only for ard S$40 ! i mean where in singapore can u find such cheap and quality skinnies. i so wish that i was given a little more money i could have gotten so much more from that store. plus i could even fit into the kids clothes and save even more money. bliss....
2. Max
this is another clothing store that rocks..especially if you're a tudung girl.very very nice long skirts for like only S$20 or so. and they're nice! i mean for cheap clothes in spore you head down to this fashion and no offence to this fashion...i mean i go there often but it's really hard to find a gem there..u have to realy spend time there..but Max..u dun have to search high and low..i got a woollen jacket for s$20. It's not as trendy as HnM..cos HnM is more like topshop but it's still great i would give anything to actually go back tere and get more clothes.
3. ZARA Home
i mean u have ZARA kids, ZARA men ..no harm having ZARA Hme..nice pretty stuff for your home..from ZARA.
Heck they should just bring the WHOLE of Ibn Batutta (a mall in dubai) to Singapore. It'll beat vivo city flat. the architecture is fantastic..it's really beautiful..and the size....it's no doubt bigger and put the whole hoohah about vivo city to shame..
a blog entry for shopaholics of the world ..hahhaha
i need more shoes

Ina told me that I had more needs than wants…and that is supposedly bad for me according to her..whatever la..that girl has issues..just 2 days ago she admitted that when she when she was 5 aand when I was 8 she stold two bucks from my overflowing money bank..apparently in a fit of anger….right…………so now I’m 2 bucks richer..right……
I need to…
1. travel the world. On the list would be Italy, Egypt and I wanna visit France again..anywhere..i dun mind even exploring Malaysia..i haven’t been to a lot of places there…I want to see the different people from all over the world, learn their culture..and watch the sun set and rise in as many countries as possible..
2. take up a fashion course..i dunno where or when..but I just wanna see if this passion of mine is genuine. I wanna learn about the different fabrics. The kind of silhouette that would suit different people. Find out what kind of colours flatter who. Maybe not so much of experimenting with new looks, I just want to learn what makes a good outfit. How come some people can carry off a look but others cant. Something like that.
3. I need to learn how to calm down. How to take things one step at a time. How to not panic all the time and to accept my mistakes. That it’s okay that I am far from perfect and I need to stop over apologizing. I need confidence! and I need to Succeed!
4. to send my mom on a proper holiday. One which takes her on a first class flight to any destination of her choice..that would be Canada I think. She needs to go on a holiday where she doesn’t need to do laundry, cook or any of that housework-y stuff. And send her to a SPA for well-deserved pampering. and she can bring anybody she wants..and I’ll make her EAT! As much as me..
5. to get my degree and please God hopefully with honours. I noe that I’m not exceptionally good at my studies but I just hope that with passion and hard work I will expand my horizons. Actually that honours think doesn’t matter..i just want to see the world differently,..no I need to see the world differently…I need to learn new things everyday and stop being so naïve
6. I need to find myself spiritually..i need to learn about islam..beyond the rituals that I perform everyday..beyond what little I noe today…and learn of it’s history..and I need to make myself closer to the Holy quraan…and really understand what’s in it..Insyallah
7. I need to be happy..and smiling and laughing :D
This is not an exhaustive list but it is the things that I need to do before I leave this Earth. Insyallah. And hopefully somewhere along the way I’ll fall madly in love . and I promise to myself to refer to this list again and again to remind myself what I want to achieve.
I’m tired
Adiue
