things i cannot live without
besides family, friends and most imporatntly Allah..i realized today that i am heavily reliant on a lot of things and even rituals in my life, without which i will be able to live, just that it will be very very difficult. no extremely difficult or quite difficult as miss samosir pointed out during theatre studies. quite actually means complete. so ya..i think u get what i mean.
my list in no particular order.
1. my organizer
has all my meetings, events and to do list. i am quite absent minded when it comes to printing readings, tutorials and also lecture notes. so i make sure that i jot down everything i have to print. Plus all my appointments are jotted down in my little book.tuition, tallaqi class, meetings...etc etc and it had the dates of all my events which i dun memorize and i have to keep referring to them. i'll be quite lost without my organizer.
2. checking my e mail
if i dun check my mail everyday...my hands would be itching because i know that i am not updated about my projects. and i'll get worried. i have three e-mail s to check and i have to make sure tha ti check everything because i noe that i wld be backdated if i dun check my mail for even one day. sighs..it's worrying when i become so reliant on technology
3. make up
make up is very crucial in my life. contrary to popuplar belief, i do not put on lots of make up. seriously. and i certainly do not wake up at 4 a.m to put on make and dress up. do you think that i have nothing better to do? i just put on a little blusher and mascarra and that's all..and eyeliner when i'm feeling adventurous. i guess make up gives me that little confidence i need. i do admit that i wld feel naked without make up. but i'm not obsesessed over it. i love colours on my eyes..but it's so troublesome to remove and re-apply eyeshadow for prayers.
4. blogging
i think blogging is serious therapy for me to keep my life in check. i try to blog at least one a day. try to la. after i finish all my work. it's a good time to reflect, share experiences, give people a little glimpse into my life. sometimes my entries have no particular point. i just have to blog to keep myself sane.
5. eating good food
hahaha..i'll be very miserable if i dun get to eat good food. after i eat something nice..i cannot stop smiling..or feeling happy at least. it's just the happy hormones i guess. endorphines. yes that's it. chocolates give you plenty of those. and i do have my daily dose of chocolate. it's just that when i eat my meals, i must have something sweet to munch on
6. my lappie
refer to point 4 and 2
7. my handphone
my goodness.my connection to the rest of the world. who knew that this piece of device would be so widely used in today's world. i use it to keep in touch with my family. i know it sounds as if i'm like studying overseas. but my phone is the only way i keep in touch with my mom since i am so busy. and it keeps me conected to everybody alse at school which is ever so helpful..etc etc and it also takes great photos :D hehe yay..it's great cos i can just whip out my handphone at any great photo oppurtunity. i think that's the two over used functions of my phone. haha
8. my morning ritual
wake up. have breakfast. read the Life section of the papers. bathe. pick out an outfit. get ready. make my bed. wear tudung, put on make-up. go out. i love rituals. hahaha
today my morning started not so good. i lost my leaf pendant that i relaly liked. and my mom took the tudung that i wanted to use. :(
i guess you cant have good morning everyday
adieu
