The suitcase has been there on the floor since Thursday, and it's still 98% empty.

I guess I should really start packing.

Chin up, buttercup!

Abang kita jahat sangat hantar gambar ni.

Ei. Dahi besar. Mata sepet. Argh argh.

December Photo Day 15: Outdoors

Photo: Lumix TZ30 + iPhone Apps overdo

It's winter so outdoor means out of home rather than out in the nature.

Meet my housemates, Kak Hana, a final year Medic, and Nadd, the same batch as mine. And there's Kak Suzy (not in picture)

When the smoothie arrived to our table, Nadd was wondering if I ordered that and I said no. She then went on saying, "That's why, I was wondering since when you start ordering cold drinks at restaurants."

Which immediately reminded me to KN when we were in Dublin having dinner at Warung Kita, a Malaysian Restaurant there. I told the waiter that I wanted Teh O Ais Laici, and he then added "Kurang ais ye bang."

We didn't see each other for almost a year and he remembered. And it's not like he always took the order for me when we hung out.

The same goes to Nadd, I can't remember telling her that I'm not a big fan of icy drinks, but she just knows.

It's amazing how people know things about you. 

Not because they remember, but because they notice the little things.

And often, it's the little things that matter.

December Photo Day 14: Something green

December Photo Day 7: Stars

Photo: Canon EOS 550D (circa 2011)

Alright I admit I might have cheated a little bit with this one. I couldn't find anything 'starry' for today's photo but somehow the word 'stars' really made me think of something, like some kind of repressed memory or something (exaggerated as always)

And then I found this, the first ever picture I posted on my Tumblr.

This was my room back in Kuala Lumpur. The starry lights Ayah bought me at Danau Kota, the pink wall, the baby pink and blue bedsheet.. And there's the white HP Pavillion I have been using at KMB. Ahh. Memories.

On the laptop screen is a Skype snapshot of Izleen. My Izleen.

It gets more emotional when the PMC kids had their farewell dinner tonight, and they posted a farewell video on Facebook. That reminds me that amongst those who are going back next year, there are people who could mean the world to me leaving this cold strange land too.

The picture was taken when me and Izleen were Skyping, she was in Dublin doing her first year of Medicine while I was very much a lonely soul desperate for some love (pun intended) in KL. Couple of months from now, we are going to switch places. I'll be here in UK while she'll be in Penang.

And we'll still be very much in love (??)

What I wore to school today.

Or rather, to hospital, since our lecture was at Leicester Royal Infirmary.

December Photo Day 3: Something I held

Photo: Canon EOS 550D

Well, many things actually.

After a supposedly 'deep' photo I took yesterday, I decided to go literal with this one.

Things I held to school today:

1. Mittens

2. House keys

3. Two pens

4. Infection & Immunity Semester 3 handbook

5. Leicester Medical School student ID

6. Sony headphone

7. iPhone 4S

8. iPad 2

9. Pocket tissue

10. Water

11. All stuffed in the Adidas shoulder bag

December Photo Day 2: Peace

Photo: iPhone 4S

1. Hazelnut Old Town White Coffee

2. Mushroom soup with crabsticks

3. Toast with salami and cheese

Peace is waking up to a good meal after a three-hour sleep in the evening not having the 8pm anxiety.

December Photo Day 1: 8 o'clock

Photo: Canon EOS 550D

First picture, so very semangat that I took out ze EOS550D (I've been too consumed into the Lumix TZ30 lately) and there you go!

The bright pink glow is actualy from an app on the phone, serving as a torch light. The light is obviously white, but the phone cover is bright pink, hence the colour. And no, I can't set the phone to home mode or the app will close. So I had to be happy with the notification mode.

Anywhooo, I had so much fun trying to shoot this! And this is one of the best shot that I could get at 8pm sharp (though the picture itself isn't really so sharp)

To be quite honest, this is another way an excuse for me to play around with the camera. I miss taking pictures and messing around with the apertures shutter speed and everything. But at the rate I'm going, who knows what's gonna happen next. I might as well be back to my own little coccoon.

We'll see, December!

December Photo A Day.

Thanks to Syeeda (yes kita ada kawan baru yay!), I now have something to do apart from counting days to the start of winter break.

Challenge accepted!

Of being independent.

Depending on how often you have to work things out on your own, I generally think that people should be more independent.

For example, you'd rather call someone asking about how to setup your laptop to have its own wifi. I short, hotspot. And it's a Mac! Not that I think Mac is so superior, I just think Mac is pretty much standardised that you can just Google it up and do yourself. Unless the person you're asking is next door, that would make more sense.

And the "I can't find this and that it's not there" type. Annoyingly enough when I go and look for it myself, it seems like that thing magically appears from the dust. Whyyy???

These people annoy me so bad that I tend to stay away from them just to avoid myself from being annoyed because feeling annoyed towards someone is not really the most pleasant feeling in the world. (Woha that's a long sentence!)

Isn't your level of curiosity high enough that you don't have the idea of Googling things up?

Well this is a personal view, anyone can choose to disagree. And obviously because I was left to be independent since I was a child, so I don't really get it with people who can't do things on their own.

Like I can't stress enough on how annoyed I am with this kind of people, I'm actually blogging this in the lecture hall just before the lecture starts.

Phew.

Out of desperation.

Promise.

Baby love.

I'm not exactly the biggest fan of babies. Yes, they are cute, adorable, anyonyoo nyumnyum ommmoooo *insert non existent words for cuteness here*, but no, I can barely last for ten minutes with them.

But this little ball of happiness never fails to make my day. I'd practically drool over her whenever I see her picture on the family WhatsApp group.

Nomnom.

Comel sangat rasa nak sepak sepak.

I'm in love with my new little camera.

Scary mom in laws.

Called my mom in law to wish her birthday today. Well, been wanting to call her and my mum while Adam was here in Leicester but apparently we are the most hopeless couple when it comes to getting things done together. All we did was arguing who should get out of bed first, taking turns to cook and clean (or both), and of course him DoTA-ing and me online shopping.

In short, memang tak jadi kerja.

It's actually the perfect time that today is Ummi's birthday, finally i could bring myself to call her after long due. 

And later she sent me a text.

Scary mom in laws?

Your argument is invalid.

Le first Instagram.

Created a new Instagram account after deleting the previous one last year.

Hipsters gonna hip.

Lovers gonna love.

Analogy.

"You have to know what is the concept of diabetes. Let's do an analogy. Imagine, like Malaysian politics, we have llooooaddsss of money, but all the money goes to Najib. The money doesn't reach us. So what happens? Overall the country still has no money, we are still poor."

I'm sad that it's really over.

But I'm happy that I can no longer be sad about it.

Woke up to this in my bed.

I'm automagically home.

Our baby Harris.

Him: Adam rasa macam teruk sangat. Asyik tak pergi hospital je. Pastu skip class. Anak kita mesti nakal kan, kalau dah ayah dia macam ni. Hahaha.

Me: You mean our baby, Harris?

Him: Mana ada Harris la. Harris nama kampung habis. Taknak.

Me: Noooooo. Harris universal kot. Neil Patrick Harris, dude! Seriously?

Him: So nak Harris jugak? Harris Adam la nanti?

Me: Well kinda. Though Harris seems more like a last name.

Him: Tak macam Adam kan? First name. Orang nama Adam handsome kot.

Me: Oohh macam Adam Levine OMGOMG drool!

Him: ..................... Okay we'll stick to Harris. Our baby Harris.

Hello November!

Past is just something we can't do anything about. 

Future, who knows, it could be wonderful. 

Let's just be happy now. 

Lovely Still (2008)

Six degrees of separation.

First, you think the worst is a broken heart

What's gonna kill you is the second part

And the third is when your world splits down the middle

And fourth, you're gonna think that you fixed yourself

Fifth, you see them out with someone else 

And the sixth, is when you admit that you may have messed up a little

Sixth Degrees of Separation, The Script

You are missed.

I fell in love with you once, I'm falling for you again.

Dear Cardiff,

I told you I'd come back.

Eid Mubarak.

From Cardiff and London, with love.

Out of place.

How can being at home in our own rooms occasionally Skyping each other exchanging random notes be more fun than going out with the wrong people and feel sooo out of place?

And better yet, listening to each other bursting into laughter across the room whenever we saw something funny online, mainly because we know what the joke is about.

This space is a bliss.

"One thing that I really love about Belfast is how I could be a stranger as much as I want, without the fear of being judged."
