You’re a firecracker, & I’m an atom bomb

So this entry is like, totally for the purpose of vanity because all I’m going to do is show off my favourite running top by Stella McCartney. Bought it for relatively cheap at the Adidas outlet quite some time ago but hardly got any use out of it since then – the weather has always been too warm for me to run comfortably in that top. Since the rainy/cold season has started, though, I figure I might as well make my money worth it.

Sorry if all the perspiration is gross – I wanted to take a pre-run photo but my mom had me send food to the neighbour’s so I didn’t have time. 

The front (sort of):

The back (also the reason why I LOVE this top):

The X-Men gang will totally call me up after this entry to get me to join their team. 

OK. 

/end self-obsession.

Like the echoes of our souls are meeting

I was watching Oprah’s Viewer’s Best Surprises today and there was this part where she surprised Gayle with Josh Groban, who sang a beautiful song that I can identify with in its entirety. I don’t know why, or how it is even possible, but lately I’ve been feeling more in love than I usually am – and this song just further intensifies it. 

And this journey that we’re on
How far we’ve come and I celebrate every moment
And when you say you love me,
That’s all you have to say
I’ll always feel this way.

When you say you love me
The world goes still, so still inside and
When you say you love me
In that moment, I know why I’m alive

When you say you love me

Do you know how I love you?

Right now, as I’m allowing this song to consume me, I am reminded again of all the reasons why I love my darling boyfriend, and one of them is because he always gives me reassurance whether or not he agrees with my actions. This includes my tremendous obsession with designer jeans, which has thus far caused me to spend hundreds of dollars that I could’ve put to better use. Which is why I know it’s wrong for me to get upset when Alfiyan wants to buy a $500 mountain bike, because why shouldn’t I give him the same treatment I’ve been enjoying myself? 

I do love him to bits and pieces after all.

So yes, if a bicycle is what he wants, then I will give him the support that he needs. 

 

 

… but, um, I don’t think I can do the same for his desire for a scuba diving license (dangerous, much??). Sorry.  

Ok bye!

Maybe we don’t want to be found

The ranger scream out of their cabins
They are the hunters,
We are the rabbits
Maybe we don’t want to be found
Maybe we don’t want you tracking us down

Stole these off Reen’s FB

AQIL I LOVE YOU!!!

Can I stay here forever?

Another day with my darling = another night feeling on top of the world.

Jeans of the day – R&R Cosbie in Incessant Blue:

I didn’t leave home in those shoes, though. I finally mustered up enough courage to try out my awesomely high “stripper” heels, and I suppose the fact that I will not be venturing out of Woodlands today did help by quite a bit.

Pretty bad angle, I know. These are the actual pair:

They looked pretty darn hot, if I do say so myself. Hehe. 

Imagine That was an alright movie – Eddie Murphy and his antics do at least put a smile on my face. I just still get a little bothered by how Hollywood ALWAYS chooses the light-skinned African-American women to play lead roles because they are deemed more “beautiful” than the darker-skinned ones. Pretty sad, IMO.

Oh oh guess who we bumped into? Zahirah, from EVG!!! I think the last time we met was like in, 2007? Idk but anyway today I found out that she’s been engaged for more than a year. I honestly can’t be happier for her – and wow isn’t it scary how fast we are growing up? Seems like just yesterday that I used to hang out with her and some other girls during recess/after school. 

Okay that’s about it for today. Got laundry to do and maybe, just maybe, I’ll be able to continue on my RVI essay. I really need to stop procrastinating on that! 

Bye!

Just between you and I

In true Singapore spirit, I am going to let out my frustrations with OMG SCHOOL IS SO………. SHINGZ!

It seems like the only thing making me want to get out of bed and head for classes these days is the knowledge that I will be with my friends for at least SOME parts of the day.  Today was a perfect example – I probably would not have had the drive to wake up for a 9am lecture if Adilah wasn’t going to be there as well. Of course, the possibility of McDonald’s breakfast helped quite a bit, too, I suppose. Hehe. 

Anyway, like last week, we made a trip to the gym again – only this time, we could start and end a lot earlier (since RVI tutorials have ended) and spend the rest of our day catching up on our readings. 

Mondays with Adilah are especially awesome because it is when we get to talk about anything and everything possible, and have plenty of laughs while at it. One of our topics of discussion today was about how with good friends, not much effort is required to enjoy each other’s company which is probably why we choose to hang out with said people as opposed to others. I think that’s exactly how it is with me and my friends - they really leave nothing more to be desired, and for that I am blessed.

Ok since I haven’t blogged since the Stone Age, today I shall put up some photos just for the sake of it. :p

Here’s Adilah with full concentration:

And me “pretending to study” (I was really studying when Adilah told me to do that) and ended up being fat in the process:

To complete this entry, some jeans photos:

Beautiful 7FAM Studded A-Pockets in Bombay that I WISH I could fit in.

One of my first premium denim – 7FAM Bootcut in South Beach, so pretty!! And real cheap too, since they were already cut into capris when I bought them. )))

Ok that’s about it. Now I have to go decide what to do with my day tomorrow – I hate having to choose between essay or fun because the answer is so obvious and yet so torturous. 

Bye!!

Pam & Jim got married!

Aaahhhh I just watched the most awesome The Office episode of all time!!!

The last time I enjoyed watching something THIS much was a long long long time ago and what great timing, too! *spoiler!* I totally aww-ed when Jim cut off his tie in response to Pam’s tears over her torn veil.

Anyway, I loved Pam and Jim’s wedding – not ostentatious in any way, and yet anyone could see how happy and very much in love they were. I would be so grateful if mine turned out to be half as beautiful despite keeping all the excesses like decoration, costumes, etc. to a bare minimum. And, if it was in any way possible, 50 or so guests in attendance made up of only people who matter would be more than enough to share the special occasion with.

That being said, the culture we practise makes it less likely for the above scenario to come true and obviously, a wedding will not be happening so soon. A girl can have dreams for her distant future, though, right? And sometimes, insya’Allah, dreams do come true.

The reason why I LOVE kids.

The strongest scent of evergreen

“Do they collide?”
I ask and you smile.
With my feet on the dash
The world doesn’t matter.

When you feel embarrassed then I’ll be your pride
When you need directions then I’ll be the guide
For all time.

I am madly in love with you.
