I've been thinking...

...and I realise that once I start thinking, I'm quite scary.

Seriously. I should never be allowed to think so much. I tend to think of nonsense.

So anyways, there was one night last weekend when I really couldn't sleep cause it was too hot, and since I had too much time to myself lying in bed, I suddenly thought of what I want to do to indulge myself.

And, no surprise, I thought of sending myself to London to watch an Arsenal match!!! =D

Not in the near future, mind you. I still have to save money. Like seriously. So I'm giving myself two years to come up with the funds I need. Hahaha. 24 months.

I've decided that if I seriously want to go to London to watch Arsenal play, I'll have to start saving some part of my monthly allowance without fail every month into my ASB account so that I wont be tempted to use the money (cause it's so bloody tedious to take out money from the ASB account).

I told my parents that I want to do this. And my mum was quite supportive, but my dad had this sort of suspicious look in his eyes like he's not agreeing on me doing this. And I felt like saying to him, "Papa, you got married at 22. Can't I go travelling alone at 22?"

Hahaha.

Yeah, so again, my impulsiveness has gotten the better of me. Only this time around, I have a (somewhat tentative) plan to actually act on my impulsive desires. Hahahahaha.

I can't believe I'm actually excited at the prospect of saving money. And this coming from someone who always sees her account's balance dropping to zero at the end of each month without knowing where the money has disappeared to. -_-

God, it would take all of my willpower to actually start putting money into my ASB account and not spend it.

I think the greatest joy that I will get at the end of the two years (if i do get there!) is knowing that I have managed to resist all temptations to spend my money and being able to save enough money to go to London on my own, without my parents help. Hahaha. Total independence. Yay!

Pray for me, yea! =)

Toodles!

25 Best Romantic Movies of the Past 25 Years

25. BEAUTY AND THE BEAST (1991)
Perhaps Alan Menken and Howard Ashman's Oscar-winning lyrics say it best: ''Tale as old as time/Song as old as rhyme/Beauty and the Beast.'' Walt Disney turned animated films on their ears with this vibrant and swoony retelling of the timeless fairy tale about a pretty girl who shuns outward appearances in favor of inner substance (found within her brutish captor). Still the first, and only, animated film to be nominated for a Best Picture Academy Award. —Erin Stevenson

I knew there was a reason why I love this movie so much! =D

Wishful thinking...

I've always known that ever since I started my degree in Monash, the possibility of me going to Monash Australia would be very slim. Not only because of the major I'm taking, but also because I didnt want to burden my parents so much because they still have my 5 younger siblings to think of.

But the other day, while we were celebrating my mum's birthday during buka puasa, my dad asked me, "Is it possible for you to do your summer semester for any electives in Australia?"

And I was like, "It might be possible. I'm not sure, but I'll check"

And when I ask him, is he willing to bear the burden of me staying there for 3 months, he nodded.

For the first time ever since I started in Monash, I was actually able to flirt with the possibility of spending some time overseas, be it for three months. I couldn't help it, but I got really excited. I almost jumped with joy cause my dad gave his consent for me to go. I couldn't help grinning all through the night.

So the next day, I went over to the course management office to ask whether it was possible if I wanted to do one semester in Australia during the summer. And although I can't remember much of what the lady said, I remembered things like "might have visa problems", "not advisable", "need course director's approval" and "might not be able to get approval from Australia".

Just like that, my hopes deflated. And I just feel like I will never be able to go anywhere. Don't get me wrong, it's not that I don't like Malaysia, but I can't help but feel like I'm missing out on some experiences cause I'm here. I guess I'm a bit... jealous of my friends there.

I'm being a bit melancholic, I know. But I can't help it. Like I said, it was just wishful thinking. I guess it's just not in my cards to go overseas anytime soon. I feel like my future is set in stone, and that I will never go anywhere.

BRITNEYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and my Edward Cullen.

Two words: Britney.Spears.

Oh My Gosh.

I'm so proud of her for her appearance on the VMAs!!!!!!!!!!!

She is sooooooo back!

It's Britney, bitch! (sorry, couldn't help it! I know it's like the most overused statement of the moment, but it's so appropriate!)

*squeals!!!!!!!!!!!!*

Oh, by the way, my exams timetable came out today, and I am seriously freaking out! Even though my first paper is like in 8 weeks time, i have 2 really scary papers back-to-back on the 28th and 29th of October. Bloody hellllll. I is very the worried right now.

Haih. I havent started studyinggggg. I've never been this lost before for all the units. Wargh!!!! I am hyperventilating and will keep on hyperventilating until the 10th of November, the day of my last paper.

Oh, and by the way, I was browsing through the internet and they were talking about who would have made a great Edward Cullen cause I don't feel like Robert Pattinson (who's going to be Edward in the movie) is....Edward enough. So I found out that the author's first choice was this guy named Henry Cavill:



And I am instantly in love. He is sooooo Edward to me!!!! But he's too old to play Edward in the movie. *sigh* What a loss. He's so swoon-worthy!

Okay, enough distractions. I still have to write like a 10-page report due the day after tomorrow. -_-

Toodles!

I was bored....

...so I did a few quizzes. I find the results quite interesting....oh, by the way, I'm currently listening to Jack's Mannequin album! Me loves it!!!!

Quiz: Are You a Hopeless Romantic?

The Little Things
Breakfast in bed? An incognito text message? Nobody knows better than you that it's the little things that matter. Down to earth and reserved, romance works best for you when it's not dressed up like a big stereotype. We're pretty sure you're one of the last people on earth to propose in skywriting, right? After all, you probably think that things are best done with a little discretion and common sense, in love and out.

You probably think JLo explained it best when she sang, "My love don't cost a thing." So true! It's the little things in life that show just how important you are to the ones who love you.

Quiz: The Brain Test

Left-brained

Most left-brained people like you feel at ease in situations requiring verbal ability, attention to detail, and linear, analytical ability. Whether you know it or not, you are a much stronger written communicator than many, able to get your ideas across better than others.

It's also likely that you are methodical and efficient at many things that you do. You could also be good at math, particularly algebra, which is based on very strict rules that make sense to your logical mind.

Quiz: What Makes Your Mouth Water?

Taking the Scenic Route

You know what they say — life's a journey, not a destination. That's something you take to heart. Laidback and low-key, you like to take your time and savor each moment. If that means taking the long way to get somewhere, you'll do it, especially if it's packed with plenty of things to see along the way.

You appreciate the simple things in life — from sunsets to skylines to starry nights. You enjoy taking a moment to breathe in all that the world has to offer, even if you have to go a little out of your way to do it. So pack up the car and get ready to hit the road!

Quiz: How Should You Indulge Your Senses?

Romantic Rendezvous

Long walks on the beach and candlelit dinners are great, but a true romantic like you knows how to find love in the little, everyday things. A handwritten note slipped into a jacket, a surprise picnic at lunch — these fun indulgences are how you spoil yourself and those you adore.

And your caring personality isn't just for the object of your affection. Thoughtful and kind, you're the friend people come to when they need a sympathetic ear or a compassionate word. Putting others before yourself comes naturally to a sweetheart like you. Your optimism and love of life means you'll always find your happy ending. And that's no fairy tale.

Quiz: Do You Follow Your Heart or Your Head?

Head-Strong Romantic

Maybe you've been burned before, or maybe you're just too busy changing the world, but when it comes to your love life, you definitely look before you leap. While you might not be cautious in every aspect of your life, love is an area you tread on lightly. Let's face it, you'd rather have a little more control over your emotions, but they're sometimes hard to pin down. So rather than get lost in them, you, and many of us, probably prefer to focus on other aspects of your life.

It's not that you don't want love to wash over you so you feel all warm and fuzzy inside. It's just that you'd probably like to fall in love when it best fits into your calendar. Still, with your smarts, you're probably able to sense when you're up for a little romancing and when you're not. Just remember, if you're ever on the fence, you want to fall off on the side where someone's going to catch you. Especially if he's tall, dark, and handsome.

Quiz: How Passionate Are You?

Bashful Blush

Yours is a passion driven from the inside — not the outside. Some may misinterpret that to mean you're more timid than others when it comes to love, school, and life in general. But really, we suspect it's just that you focus more on driving toward your goals than announcing them to the world.

While some people have to stand at a podium to stake their territorial claims — on guys, teams, or the honor roll — you're more likely to take a less direct route. (After all, it's easier to make your point when you're not caught like a deer in the spotlight.) A level-headed discussion with someone close to your issue, if not the person directly, is more your style — whether feeling out if your crush is already taken or asking your parents for a much-deserved raise in allowance. Your careful approach usually pans out better than creating a dramatic scene before a gawking audience.

Sure, you go after what you want in life. But your style has never been to grab the bull by the horns. The patience you've cultivated has no doubt helped you become who you are today — a devoted friend, daughter, girlfriend, or student. So keep at it — picking your private battles. Then stand back to watch your bashful blush work its passionate magic!

It's quite obvious that I was bored....hahahahaha.

Toodles!

I'm in love....and other things

I.AM.ADDICTED.

I don't know how it happened, but I got really addicted to the Twilight Saga by Stephenie Meyer. Go Google about it if you're curious. :D

You know how I tend to do impulsive things? Well, this is one of those things la basically.

Last Friday, I met up with Fizleen, my friend from school. Haven't seen her in agessss. Anyways, we went to KLCC to watch Death Race. Going to KLCC to watch a movie felt like I was back in Form 5! Hahahaha. So while we were waiting for the movie to start, we went to Kinokuniya and we saw this stack of books by Stephenie Meyer. We got really curious so both of us bought the first book of the series, Twilight, since it was 25% off. I mean, what could go wrong, right?

Yeah........

So anyways, I swear I was not gonna read it, but once I started reading, I ended up really, really, really liking the book that I couldn't put it down. I fell in love with the main protagonist, Edward Cullen!!!! And so 2 days after buying the first book I bought the rest of the books. And I've been reading one book each day since then, and I'm almost finishing the last book.

I tend to get very antisocial when I'm addicted to books. I've actually haven't been online cause I've been so engrossed with the books. But I couldn't help it. Sorry guys! -__-

I realised that reading books that I love is like a drug to me. The pull is too strong. I've been putting off my assignments to read the books. That's so bad. Haih.

But, I don't care cause I WANT MY EDWARD. Or maybe someone like him, please, God?

I realised that i really, really, really like guys who are broody and mysterious. That is my kind of guy. And Edward Cullen IS the embodiment of broodiness, mysteriousness and sexiness. (I can't believe I'm saying this over a character in a book. Haih. I really am obsessed.)

Okay, so back to reality....Happy Ramadhan everyone! =)

The first few days of fasting hasn't been bad. A bit tiring. but that's to be expected la. I kinda like seeing my money intact in my purse. hahahaha.

Oh, and one of my cats died last Sunday. =( I was sad that she died, but we all kinda felt that she was not going to live as long as the others. She was smaller than the rest, and she did get some internal injuries from an accident like 2 months back. But I never expected it to happen so soon. It's weird going back home and not having her come to me and begging for food. But I guess it was good enough that we had 6 months with her. So sad. But funny thing was, she died on Merdeka Day. So in some ways, she had merdekakan herself that day.

Rest in peace Angel, we'll miss you loads. :*(

Ok, i really need to go to class now. Toodles!

PS: I'm not the only one in love with Edward Cullen! Fizleen is, too! *smiles smugly*
