Ginger Beer

I even had the chance to squeeze in a lunch date with Naz. We had a wonderful meal at apartment. Though at first I was reluctant cause I knew the place was overcharging their customers and I could not bear the heat from sitting outside if we had chosen to dine at aseana cafe.

Thana was away at permata, and of course Sara is somewhere on the other side of the peninsular. Usually we would call them both up and do a conference. Hahaha. Happy to say I have always been present for the event, and never had them call me up to tell me how much fun they were having without me.

Thanks for Dante's Inferno!! Yeapppa. It is still gift-wrapped safely stored in my closet in KL.

Gimme Angel wings!

I enjoy surprises, and I know faliq loves surprises even more. But the thing is I pretty much suck at making it happen cause its either I'm literally not there, or I am short on resources on making it happen. Haha. Excuses excuses. For the record, the first year I was in the UK for work, last year I was offshore for the whole of January, this year I was away for my Yemen trip. Tee hee.

Thanks to cuppylicious cupcakes for entertaining my request and making it such a personalized gift!! Initially I just ordered a batch of pastel colored roses on the cupcakes, but then decided to have some fun with them and ordered things that remind me of him instead. Such a big boy of 27, the box was more for a kid turning 8 =)

Our favourite piece : the angel wings complete with the fuzzy heart and halo to match.

Stickers

I should learn to update on a more regular basis. I am losing touch of the things and thoughts I have running through my mind during my blooming years. I finished reading an extremely good book. I am getting back on track on my read-a-thon. We used to have those every quarter in elementary school. A sticker for a book read.

I plan to read all the famous books. I mean, there must be a reason why they are famous. And I do have a fetish for buying new/old books. Reading them makes me feel so rich. Like encapsulated in an air tight fantasy world of our own. Its a feeling I learned to appreciate since I was 8, an avid reader.

I would highly recommend to kill a mockingbird to those who have yet to read it. Next in line : waiting for my 'inferno' by dante (I asked naz to get it for me) and maybe the silk house factory by tash aw (I think I spelt the title right) oh and you can get me that book for my upcoming 26th.

Dusun Kendong

Life is a bit boring without my diana F. We used to share the same heightened excitement whenever we went out.
Now its just me and my second-hand converse wallet, and keys. And lipbalm.
Last weekend I went to visit my granfathers, both whom are not doing so well. Its a sad circumstance to have to justify.
'Exhibit A is suffering because..so and so..' and then we'd have to compare it with 'Exhibit B shows signs of ageing and has loss the ability to..etc etc..'
It was a purely sad moment for me. But to dwell so deep into it would only drain me of my mental strength.
I had a long way back to travel. And then to deal with the fact that f's mom will be going for Hajj this year has also put a MAJOR dent on my planning.

Kendong is beautiful. The trees are wild and grew out of every nook and cranny. The grass high and tall, hiding secrets between the dense layers.
I took atok's bike for a spin. The tyres are flat. The house is on a hill that is impossible to cycle up with a set of flat tyres.

The kids in the football field were cheering us up the hill. I had sweat trickling down my neck and back. My face plastered with a permanent smile. I felt like a kid again.
