i promise that this would be my last entry about my birthday. im sure ppl are so sick of it. the week ended well with a quiet get together with the family. amidst the busy-ness and maddness during the day, (i still havent managed to call up any companies for foc) im glad that things went alright in the end. it was our usual dinner together on friday evenings just that most of us were clad in pink. thank u to my cousins esp to zafirah who took the effort to get me the Hello Kitty cake and the card. we played silly games and ate a lot!and of course took pictures :)

What Color Do You Need?

so finally im 21.

i am thankful for the birthday wishes over tagboards, friendster, sms and also msn

hehe..

thankfully i had a really good birthday this year.

it started with a very grumpy me, very ominous weather and not to mention the very heart attack trip to st. johns island that sufiyan organised for me. altho i was very skeptical about it, im glad that i took the risk and went for it. it was literally an island getaway. i love finding gems in singapore and st. johns island is definitely one of them. it has a beautiful lagoon and i had fun walking at the beach at low tide exploring the habitat and regurgitating what i learnt during national heritage of singapore module i take in yr 1 sem1. the weather was not too hot and i literally just lazed around and ate the sandwhiches that me and sufiyan made with the ingredients that he brought along. and i even took a dip in the water when the tide was just nice. certainly a day that i will not forget doing smtg special.

why was it a heart attack experience? because of the boat schedule. we arrived there around 0935 hours when the boat was scheduled to leave at 1000hours. we couldnt afford to miss the boat cos the next one was only at 1400hours and we wouldnt get to spend anytime there cos the last boat from st. john's is 1515hours and if we missed it we would have to overnight at st john's. i would never hear the end of it if my mom ever found out. and when we reached, we realised that we didnt have any cash on us and they didnt accpet nets. not only tat, there was no atm anywhere nearby. what happened next was like a scene out of an episode of Amazing Race. we flagged a cab and rode to the cbd area in search of an atm machine. we arrived at Marina Pier at 0959hours, just in the nick of time. the person at the counter told us that she asked the ppl to wait for us. how sweet right? hehe..so thank goodness, after that, things went on pretty smoothly.

and im glad that the day ended with the traditional dinner with my family at Sofra. i chose Sofra cos i really love the food and the ambience there. but i was afraid that my not-too-adventurous-with-food family wont like it. but thank goodness everybody had fun and enjoyed themselves. i guess the food is just a small part of it. the bigger part of it was us talking and joking. mama making her lame comments and us (almost) rolling on the floor laughing. i am so thankful for my family and the bond that we share. im trying to not take them for granted especially now since my rehearsals are going to get more intensive not to mention my meetings. i wish i could make my mom happier by being the person she wants me to become. i owe her big time cos she was the one who brought me to this earth 21 yrs ago.

since im 21 now i aim to become more mature and a more responsible person. my wish is simple. and that is to be a better person. insyAllah.

tomoro after my meeting i have a date with hudee and artika and you'll never guess what we are doing.haha...

laila k is finally coming back tomoro!

ec soon!

and the week would end off with my BIG family coming over for dinner by the pool. remember "THINK PINK" ppl. come clad in pink, just for the fun of it. hehehe..im not trying to be self-centred but i just wanna get everybody together and have some fun. so see you guys!

i have pics of st. john islands on my foto page if you guys wanna see the place is like:)

today was super tiring..had foc meeting in the morning. i realy love the dynamics of this colourful team. it makes all the owrk a little more memorable. and i was being such an idiot cos i kept remindind everyone aboutmy bdae. i am so surprised that no one threw a bottle or smtg at me. such a great team! hahahha

sufiyan was being very sweet today. he surprised me with his bdae gift. a make up bag from mac. now i confirm must become mak andam. -_- then we watched fantastic four at cathay. it was quite okay i think. well at least i didnt keep looking at my watch...and i think jessica alba did a lot to her face if u noe what i mean. that was followed by dinner at eatzi. i had shitake mushroom soup and sufiyan had some lobster soup as appertizers. then we both had steak for teh main course, polished off with mango and chocolate cake. nothing adventurous, just nice comfy food. comfortable ambience and very good service.

ok the thing about planning for me smtg is that..im very good at guessing. and it's very difficult to surprise me properly. so i must say sufiyan did a good job at tricking me. my guesses were all wrong. and he did a good job tricking me. leading me in and out of mrt trains. going out at wrong stops just to throw me off track. walking the worng direction and finaly closing my eyes all the way to the secret location which was..................the Cable Car Ride. hahahahaha..i've always wanted to do it..plus it was at night and it was really really nice..i was so so excited you should have seen me.hahah..

thank you so much. it was perfect and i couldnt ask for anything more :)

i googled hello kitty yesterday and man i swear that u can find everything with hello kitty. there's hello kitty buses, toaster, eggs, cookies, chocolate and even vibrator! wth! haha..but i think this hello kitty bouquet very cool la. hello kitty makes me smile :) funny that i use to hate it a lot. i thot it was ugly and stupid because it doesnt have a mouth. i think that was my angsty phase. but the point is im very careful when i say that i hate something cos i always end up liking it a lot. like green tea for example. Once upon a time i simply hate green tea. urgh..and the jasmine smell..it was too strong for me and it made me sick. but now green tea is all i drink during rehearsals. Zurah will alway s have a bottle with her and we will drink it in between our breaks.

speaking of rehearsals. i think things are finally picking up. i think the key is to always have the energy there. and for it to be there we need to warm up and also feel comfortable. i hate it when i still feel shy and restricted. playing stupid games help. it's great that we can have fun and be really productive at the same time. so i really hope that our performance would be a bang. 19th July, thursday at the arts house. do come and support us ok? :o)

i havent spoken about shopping in a long long time. im broke to the max now and all i could afford is food now. and since coincidentally i am in my craving mode, my posts have been about food, food and more good food. looking at my wadrobe i do realise that i have a substantial amount of clothes. but i really hate to repeat outfits. and everyday before i go out, i would stand in front of my wadrobe, looking at all my clothes and realising that i have nothing to wear. when i had more money i would get something new almost every week. i know it sounds so bratty but it's not expensive really. i can spend like $10 on a top. but now i must really work my creative juice cos i need to mix and match more. i feel as if i already worn all possible combinations but im sure i could try more. hmm..lack of money is a chance for me to be more creative...

money..the root of all evil..but i think since im turning leagal in 2 days time i shoud really be more responsible with my money. i am really an impulsive shopper and i have very bad self-discipline which is a very lousy match i must say. but i must curb my nasty habits....after reading my dear cousin's blog, i realise that i cannot continue with my careless atitude towards money. i should start saving and maybe soon enough investing. ooo..i feel so adult already. oh no..shopping makes me happy and with less shopping it means that im gonna be less happy. there's so many things i wanna get. a new tote, the m.a.c eyeliner, a watch, more clothes..ya it's all in my wishlist...gosh i am so materialistic. i dunno whether i wanna take up more tuition assingnments cos i hate my first sem when my life revolved around my tuition schedule and i couldnt involve myself in much activities cos i gave tuition everyday. i think i need to prepare for my next sem sson. get my goals in line and like sufiyan said..set my priorities right.

my birthday is on wednesday and as usual i am excited giler cos sufiyan said he bought present and planned something..haha..he's always so semangat with all the planning. im always shiok sendiri during my birthday week. hahaha...ok so i'll be having a bday dinner with mr sufiyan tmr, then bady outing on weds, bday dinner with family on weds, maybe a bday meetup with the lailas depending on when lailak comes back. and then , "surprise" bday party on friday. hahaha..how exciting. :) im looking forward to it. whatever it is..if anything screws up or things dun turn out the way they should be. i am so thankful for the blessings in my life. the ppl around me. my wonderful family, i have lived with them since forever and i know tat i am really one lucky girl. my great friends whom i am so lucky to have, cos they are the most colourful bunch of ppl who have guided me through life..and then there's the new bunch of ppl i met at nus.the most sincere and enthusiatic bunch of ppl i have ever met. and of course for sufiyan. i think i fight with him more than anybody else in the world but he is so much a part of me that without him im just a lost sheep. and he puts in so much time, energy and effort into our relationship and never gives up. i dun think there's anybody out there who would do the things tat he does. so yes i love the wonderful ppl around me. and i am wonderinf why am i so marry freaking poppins today. hahha

my relationship with my father is an odd one. but i still love him all the same. i hope u had a happy father's day pa. :)
