“Assumptions is the mother to all f*ck ups”.
If you need an answer from me, all you need to do is merely ask. I’d gladly answer for as long as its not against my will or something too personal.
I’ve had one too many cases where people around me assume certain things. Which I believe is unfair for both parties. Why so? Both parties won’t know the real deal. Fyi, there’s always too sides of the story.
Save the drama instead shall we? So ask if you’re in doubt. Or if you need an explanation. Don’t keep mum. It gets you nowhere and might hurt you both.
Let it off your chest. Get the answer you deserve. Fine that closure within you.

I believe that there is a mighty fine line in everything we do in life.
From work to love to and everything for all that matter.
So where do you draw the line? Where do you stop? Where do you mix your feelings and professionalism?
Have you ever actually take a step back and recalculate your position in life?
If you haven’t, it’s high time you do. Set things straight. Chose the person who you’d rather be.

Been MIA-ing again haven’t I? Haha. Busy growing up I must say 
I’ve been having a ball lately. Life is all good in the hood baybeh.
Last Saturday was Urbanscapes 2010. This year, I was not a vendor. Instead I was there to enjoy myself with my colleagues and friends. Which turned out to be a blast. Had so much fun. Though we decided on going at the very last minute. It sure was well worth the heat. There was a lil drama in it. But all I can conclude is I had a good time with the bestest company. What more could a girl ask for ey?
How was your weekend? Here’s a recap on last year’s Urbanscapes.

I was feeling rather low this few days as life is going to take a whole new spin tomorrow. Am I totally worried about tomorrow or is there something else bothering me? I myself ain’t too sure. But I do know that is a lot is happening at once. My plate is too full.
At times like this, I wished that I had someone to turn to. But to no avail I have no special someone to turn to. So this blog should do. Haha. My ranting point after twitter.
So I thought I could rely on my friends. Some of them proved me wrong. What hurts most is the ones that I have known longer are the ones who don’t give two hoots. The newer ones are the ones asking me if am alright. They said they noticed a change in my status. How sweet.
I felt a pinch when I turned to the closest at this current point and got no response. Am not asking for an advice of sort. Just an ear to hear me out. A non-judgmental one would be even better. Sigh. It’s not just that, sometimes I amaze myself at my capability of always falling into the same stupid trap that some of my friends do. I fall for their old antiques. They do things to their convenient and not think of others. Yet, silly old soft-hearted me will succumb to it.
I seriously need to care less and buck up. Not let people walk all over me. To all my friends who will always think I will be there for you no matter what happens, think twice. Am getting really tired of if. Everything in life works both ways.

I’ve not had a decent update for a while now. Why so? I’ve been busy with a lot of things. From work to family to friends.
Organized a BBQ party a few weeks back. It was a whole lot of fun. We had to invite new people to the BBQ. I brought my Brissy friends, Ummi invited her Japan friends and there was us the BBGSians. Oh let’s not forget two Subangnians as well.
The venue was at Ummi’s place, Astana Kasih. Her backyard is spacious and quite well lit. Mats were placed with balloons and candles too. We had fun on the mat. Some sat, some was laying down.
Played a few rounds of UNO and “Pembunuh & Polis” (Killer & Police). “Pembunuh & Pencuri” (Killer & Police) is a game that Alia B taught us. It’s fun. Yet it’s stressful. It can take hours to actually catch the Pembunuh (Killer). How do you play it? The killer has to wink to kill their prey. The police must try to catch him/her. If he succeeds, game ends. We also played “Monyet-Monyet” (Monkey Monkey). One ball, a group and one monkey who has to try to catch the ball. Well, Alia was the Monkey throughout the night. We were pretty got players I must say.
We stayed til quite late, as Ummi’s dad Encik Nasir was not around. How generous of him to allow us to use his backyard for a BBQ! Gotta love him and his generosity!
A couple of pictures from that night. Should gather more often la people!
My not so little brother.
Lela, Izyan and Mot.
Incomplete. We missed you, Liyana.
The girls.
Me looking like a giant!
Erfan’s wishing balloon.
We were watching the balloon slowly disappearing into the black sky.

Shuhid aka Mot, the celebrated.
Ummi, the host.

“If you love someone. Tell it up front. Even if it hurts. Even if it’s not right. Even if you can’t be together. They could be gone tomorrow.”

I’ve lost two grandfathers, one grandmother, one step-grandmother, an uncle and a few friends throughout my 25 years.
Most of it was shocking. Some was a painful process. Nonetheless, it hurts. I miss them. It’s painful to watch them slip away from you.
Today, I watched a dear aunt of mine laying on the bed with all sorts of tubes going through her nose and mouth. It looked painful. But she didn’t budge. Called out her name with no response. She’s in the deepest sleep known to man, coma. I miss how jovial she was. Making jokes. Remembering going for Hari Raya at her place. How she loves coming over to our house. Eating the cookies I made.
There was this one time, when I was much younger. I served her my burnt cookies and she still at them with a big smile on her face.
As I was sitting next to her with a Yasin in hand. I thought I saw her moving her head. I thought I saw it twice. Maybe am delusional at that point. But even my dad said he saw it. My dad touched her hand. There was no response.
Family members have gathered. Hoping she will fight. Hoping for a miracle.
I’ve learn my lesson. I won’t let the people I love slip away. I will cherish each and everyone of my family members and friends. I won’t hold back in love. We will never know when our time is up or theirs for all that matters.
I love my family. I love my friends. I love you.
xx
p/s : Don’t go just yet Teh. We all love you. Fight.
pp/s : By the way, my lovely aunt has passed on.

A week back, I took a few of my friends to my secret place. I love this place because it reminds me so much of Three Monkeys. Obviously it ain’t the same. But the wood furnite just brings back old memories of Three Monkeys.
So my secret place is somewhere near home. Not so crowded, serves good food at a reasonable price. The ventilation isn’t great but I just love this place. It’s cozy. A few pictures from the night.

I wasn’t feeling to good on Tuesday. I was feeling rather tired as I had trouble sleeping. But my awesome colleagues, suggested that we went for a movie to make me feel better. It was an excellent idea to be exact. It got my mind of everything around me.
We watched When in Rome. I think it’s one of the most best romantic comedy. It’s just hillarious.
Josh Duhamel played the character of Nick. He is the sweetest guy ever. Never giving up on the girl of his dream. He kept his face and played his game real well. What happened to men? Why aren’t there any like him?! I could use a Nick right now.
Kristen Bell played the character of Beth. The career minded girl who is doing so well with her job. Loving it to pieces. Never making time for love. I remember this quote she said “If he is more important than my job, then I am in love”. How true. How appropriate.
I truly enjoyed the movie. Yea it may be something that has an ending you can predict. Yet there are the goofy moments and the mystery to it as well.
Here’s Anderson, Layla, Liz and I at the movie. Great bunch of colleagues. Gotta love them! Life would suck without them at the office.

No longer early twenties. Not yet late twenties. Now I am right in between. Am officially mid twenties. Turned 25 on Monday. While my mum turned 53. Yes, we were both born on the very same day. Pretty cool ain’t it?
I had a gut feeling that this year’s birthday would be awesome. Boy was I right. It was truly magnificent. I feel really special, loved, blessed and flattered. It was good. I took my family out for a Sunday brunch as Monday was a working day. Celebrated mum and myself. Went out the whole day. Scouted some interesting stuff that I wouldn’t mind owning soon :p
I purposely removed the facebook birthday reminder. I wanted to see how many actually remembered my birthday without the help of it. It feels like you are obligated to wish me coz there’s a reminder on the misserable right hand panel. I for one, have a hard copy of all my TRUE friend’s birthdates in my moleskin. Oh, story of the moleskin for another day. I still miss my bookbindersdesign like crazy! It was a test for my friends. Some aced it. Some didn’t 
Anyways, my birthday was a truly amazing one. My set of girlfriends tried to surprise me. But if failed. Mot, asked me if I was free on Monday. So I made space for them. Everyone else thought I didn’t know about it. Reason being, Ummi was suppose to be my designated driver but she isn’t so familiar with roads just yet as she just got back from Japan. Hehe. So they had to tell me the whereabouts. But I love them for the effort nonetheless.
I got off work pretty late that day itself. So I was in a rush to get ready. Threw on an assemble in split second. Ummi was already downstairs. As I walked towards the car, I saw balloons. So pretty, they were lilac in colour. Am guessing they don’t know my favourite colour or they were just trying to be safe. But they were real pretty. So off we went to KL. The venue was then revealed. Fullhouse, Yap Kwan Seng. Luckily there was no jam. We were the second to arrive.
I helped them setup the table for the party. Hehe. How cute. The birthday girl helping out
I was so happy to meet up with my girls. Izyan, who just came back from Japan was there too. Liza, the uber busy fierce career woman. Liyana, the cutest little doctor. Mot, the workaholic auditor who loves to watch movies and work part time. Ummi, the quirky fashionista. It’s amazing how we have all been to different parts of the world. Got seperated. Yet still can be great friends. With different characteristics and what nots. We click together like a magnet. I love this set of girls. Their like the sisters I never had.
My awesome set of girlfriends.
Izyan & I!
Liyana & I.
Liz & I.
Mot & I.
XXS
Thank you so much girls!
Happy 53rd Ibu!
I have a feeling that this year would be a rockingly awesome year for me. Insyallah. Thank you for all the lovely wishes via facebook and also sms. Loving you long time.
