Difference between driving with Father and Mother

Hellooooo Malaysia,

Well now that Raya is already over, I'm sure everybody is eager to kill those weights off. But Raya comes once a year. It's good that you enjoyed yourself. Even though I didn't quite enjoy myself so much because two weeks after Raya, I had my medicine EOP, which I'm purposely not going to talk about it right now.  

Anyway, right now I'm in Singapore, with exams on the next Tuesday. Even though I was quite reluctant to go, but all the journey process was too easy, (my passport was due to expire in January, and you'll need to have at least six months in your passport, so I had to go and renew my passport at 3pm, but somehow the task was easy I managed to get my passport in less than half an hour) make making me think that hey maybe it's meant to be, right? Maybe I'm supposed to be taking this trip. 

Anyway, if challenges doesn't presents itself, how is one able to strive better right?

So, on the way down, I switched with my father, offering to drive down, because he kept on yawning while driving. Two minutes after I took over, the rain started pouring, and I meant really heavily pouring. Till the extent I had to use the maximum viper power. I could barely see the road, I was at the brink of giving up, but the rest stop was 70km away, and I couldn't possibly stop by the roadside. With the heavy rain, anything could happen by stopping. So I pushed on, drive on even though slowly, but surely. 10 minutes later, we passed the heavy rain. 

And then I had an epiphany.

That's it, right. Whatever happens in I've, it will passes away. The good, the bad, the worst, it'll passes. In that moment, the one thing we need to remember is to hold on. And don't give up. Believe that somewhere out there there's a brighter day, a day that could make you be thankful you didn't give up. So with the power of positive mind, I'm studying for my finals. Let's put aside all the problems, difficulties, past disappointment and focus on the future. And let's not be dependent on other people.

Independent women for the win! 

So, the difference between driving long distance with mom and dad.

Driving fast :

- Mom : Don't drive too fast! 

- Dad : *Silent*

Car in front braking :

- Mom : Can you see the car in front braking? Be alert!

- Dad : *waves hand to alert me the car is braking*

Driving slowly :

- Mom : You don't have to follow the person ahead. If you feel need to overtake, do so.

- Dad : Can you drive faster? I'm starving.

Raining : 

- Mom : Can you see clearly? Drive slowly. Look out!

- Dad : Can see or not? Look at those two lines, don't look at the car, he might be wrong. 

Parking : 

- Mom : *looking around restlessly, relieved after finish parking*

- Dad : *stares blankly ahead*

Overtaking :

- Mom : Just go ahead, if you wait they'll never give the chance.

- Dad : *stares blankly ahead* Cut here.

Both mom and dad makes me a better driver, so I wouldn't change it for the world. I love them and their quirks when I'm driving. Sometimes I just laugh while teasing them. I'm just thankful I can be at their service now that I'm able to drive. Lessen their burden.

Ramadhan is here!

After a long year, the precious month is here.

The month where I always feel the calmest, the most beautiful, the most enchanting month of the year. When it's Ramadhan, suddenly everything else seems to be so tiny. All the problems, all the worries, all the unimportant side things seems so...insignificant.

So let us all rejoice this beautiful month, take full advantage of it and may Allah sees us through the night of LailatulQadr.

Here's my small checklist I intend to complete :

1. Sahur each day at least with a glass of water
2. Solat tahajjud each day
3. Read Al-Quran after Subuh prayer
4. Solat Dhuha each morning 
5. Avoid from getting angry at reckless drivers, people cutting in lines, people simply out there to annoy your life.. Hahaha..
6. Read more Al-Quran between Asar and Magrib 
7. Break fast lightly and not as if I haven't eaten in a year
8. Head to Masjid afterwards for Terawih
9. Exercise bit just before sleeping
10. Repeat from no.1 all over again.

Also, please forgive all my wrongdoings. Whether it's intentionally or unintentionally..

That's all from me..

Toodles.

Hypothetically speaking...

So,

Hypothetically speaking,

If I liked a guy so much, even after quite some time, I still think of him, even after a thousand years not seeing him, I can still see him clearly as if he was walking or exist in my parallel vision...

Is it love?

If I couldn't seemed to get myself to be over him, like how Rachel convinced herself she was over Ross in Friends when the truth was she was never 'under' him in the first place, and I still gulp at the sound his name pronounced or I still wonder how is his day at night when I couldn't sleep, suddenly out of nowhere, when I wasn't even trying to think of him and then I convinced myself I'm over him, I've long stopped thinking about him, but I didn't...

Am I still not over him?

If I tried my very best to delete everything about him in my brain, but yet I still secretly hiding from my own self, memories of him, in my drawers, in my notes while changing my phone, I could just throw them out because it will never be heard by him or it won't even matter to him, or to anyone but myself, but still I decided to retype it and rename it into something nobody would even think of opening if they came across my hidden stash of feeling written everywhere...

Am I reluctant to let him go?

And then when after what seemed like a million years not seeing him, just when you thought aaaah, this is it, this is the feeling of not being emotionally attached to someone who doesn't even acknowledge my presence or have the tiniest clue about what's going on in this noisy brain of mine, and then bammmm! your world collided again, and your heart literally stopped at the sight of him, like literally not even figuratively, and then after the whole day, on your way home, you replay every single event, every single thing that happened that can give a hint he was suffering just like you, but doing a great job at hiding it better than you are, instead all you got is this montage-like memories of him laughing, frowning, talking to others but you, playing with that little kid, tugging at your heartstrings, and then you start feeling feverish thinking of all these, in fact every time you met him, you will feel feverish afterwards, you thought it was coincidence but no, it wasn't..you put your head against the wheel, trying to calm all these thoughts, but in vain...

Why am I so stupid to be hung up still?

But it's the secret of the heart, one can't be tamed, can't be understand, can't be decipher into simpler meanings.. It's a weird happiness you will feel for a moment, followed by suffering.. You liked it, yet you don't like it, you feel happy and content just at the thought of him, yet you feel so alone at night..

It is true what they say... Only the lucky ones will be able to love. But only the luckier ones will be loved back.

All of these, of course is just hypothetically speaking...

@grills Section 13, Shah Alam

"Better taste, better price, better choice" is the slogan of the shop.

I beg to differ. 

It doesn't have a better taste, definitely not a better price. 

Because we were too hungry at that time, we didn't have the opportunity to snap some picture for review. But you lost me at the first bite. The taste was bland, I had to keep on sipping on the ice lemon tea to grasp some taste for my bud. 

But it's not all bad. The shop has a nice environment, although it was dark when we first came in. But after they switched on the lights only, I could appreciate the western-like interior design.

The service was okay. The waiter was .... simply doing her job. Accommodative I'd say.

I'd rate this shop 2/5 stars.

Gossip Girl

Gossip girl here, your one and only source into the scandalous life of Manhattan's elite

Heyyyy!

I know I'm late by errrr two years.

But I just had the time to finish the series.

And I just love it!

Things I love : 

1) Blair Waldorf

- her quick, witty mind

- her sense of style

- her discipline

- her loyalty

- her talent in scheming 

2) Chuck Bass

- normal case of "bad boy turns good"

- his loyalty to Blair

- the way he picked himself up when he thought he had no family, the way he build his empire

- he changed my point of view in mens in suits (they can look good in colored suit as well)

3) Chlair/Bluck : Chuck and Blair combo

- how can you not love these two evil minds joined together

- and the best part is, they became the center of the show in season 4&5

- the fact that they ended up together

4) Serena Van Der Woodsen

- she's kind

- she lets the outsider in

- she's kind

- she just have this nice girl vibe

- her pretty smile

5) Pretty, bright colors everywhere

- their sense of dressing made me on to shop in New York

- I love how they mix and match everything, their high heels, makes me want to be a girls girl sometimes

Things I don't like :

1) Everybody hooks up with everybody

- okay with the exception of Chuck and Blair

- but Blair did hooks up with Dan for a short while

- and Chuck did sleeps with half of Manhattan

- Serena, Nate..... Okay everyone did everyone

2) Nate falls for someone too easily

- like seriously easily

- pretty girl passes by, "Hey, I like you"

3) Serena always choosing the wrong guys

- they did get it right

- after Dan, Serena never got it right

- in fact, remember when she went off to Paris and slept with just anyone?

4) Don't these people check for facts before getting mad at each other and stab their back?

- people! You heard something, check it out if it's for real or not

- back stabbed your friends and then had an argument, and say "I thought...."

The things I didn't expect :

1) the fact that Dan is Gossip Girl

- like woaaaaahh! I totally didn't see that coming.. Sneaky!

- or really? When you think again, it totally made sense

2) the fact that the baby Blair carried was the Prince's, not Chuck's

- I really wanted the baby to be Chuck's

- but thank the writers for making that up with the son they have later on

3) the fact that Blair was with Dan for a while

- why did the writers have to write it like this?

- that was a very weird phase 

- even Blair looked plain and toned down

- right when Blair turned to Chuck, she immediately looked like her stunning self again

4) Chuck and Blair's impromptu wedding

- it was very minimal, non-eloborated

- but the timing was perfect, though I was a bit regret it was tooooo simple

- how in the world Eleanor managed to make a stunning wedding dress in blink of an eye, is beyond me.

5) the fact that Dan and Serena did end up together

- it was very far-fetch

- and it seemed toooo simple once the writers made up their minds

But all in all, the casts are beautiful, even though I have complains of how the stories goes, but I have nothing but love for the show.

How I Met Your Mother Finale. Who else is with me?

For the past 2 months, I was so busy, I haven't had the time to even lift a muscle. Hahahah.

Okay that's a joke.

I've been busy, and in few months I hope to share the splendid news with all of you.

So, in spite of the business, I managed to sneak in some time to watch the final episode of HIMYM.

The first four minutes got me all teared up, especially when the gangs hug it out on the hotel porch.

The last 9th season had been beautiful, I was truly convinced that Robin and Barney deserved to be happy and together, and much like every body else, Barney deserves his happy ever after ending. Unfortunately, the writers thought different. 

Okay I get it, they want him to change because of the presence of a daughter in his life, but why should they break both him and Robin up, just to have him knocked up some un-name woman, or as they called her No. 31, in a-perfect month challenge? It's like let's make him fall into the darkest pit and then give him a light again. I thought Robin was the light he searched for. They deserved each other so well. 

And after the break up, Robin fell out of the group, and Barney doesn't feel a thing? So disappointing in so many level.

Not to mention Ted. After getting his fairy tale, after a long wait, they decided to end things with. "So you want to see how we feel about you and Aunt Robin getting together?" from the children? 

Ted Mosby is the one character I can relate to, (okay I know I don't have cool friends like Lilypad and Marshmallow, legen-waitforit-dary Barney Stinson, or the ever beauty Robin Sparkles), I meant the part of knowing, somehow, somewhere,I know my right one is waiting for the day we meet, just as much as I am right now. The trust, the wait, The not-giving up, I totally can relate.

I mean, just how sweet that catching up history session between Ted and Tracy at the railway station under the yellow umbrella? It just makes you go awwwwwwww. The mother's smile at the end when they realized "“Funny how sometimes you just…find things," says Tracy. Heart melting. The mother indeed have a very beautiful smile.

Just to have him, meet her, dated her, knocked her up months before they getting married, decided to postpone the marriage, 7 years and 2 kids later, did get married, only to have the mother, or as sweet as her name is, Tracy McConnel, died in some kind of disease 4 years later. How unfair is the world? Should I give up on my fairy tale right about now? 

Don't give me the *bittersweet* of life speech. If I want to stay in reality I wouldn't watch the tv or movies in the first place.

And all season of 9th, the whole gang stressed about how they'll break up, with two moving to Italy, and one moving to Chicago, only to have the next day, Ted sitting in the bar saying, "So yeahh, that's not gonna happen," Isn't life too simple? Haha okay the scene was slightly funny, so I let it pass.

What I can't let pass is how painful for Ted to let go of Robin, when he got hurt so badly, just to have him ended up with her again after 20 years or so. Is that's the writer term of destiny? Me is not happy.

The only good things that went on the track was Lily and Marshall, continuing to grow their family and Marshall finally gets to be a judge and later on, a senator.

While some may be satisfied with the ending, I'm not on board with this one. It ruins my believe in happy ever after ending. I didn't want to do this comparing both because both were great in their own ways, but I was more happy when Friends ended years ago. 

Now, I'm just all confused with HIMYM ending. 

Wait, does this mean Lily have to pay back to Marshall the 20 bucks he gave her during Ted and Tracy's wedding just because Ted finally did ends up with Robin?

The opening music is always going to haunt me for years.

Aren't they gonna tell us with what actually happened with the Pineapple Incident?

End if another series favorite.

All in all it was a good show that helped me laugh in my sad days.

Till the next hit series.

Tired.

Tonight I feel tired.

Like really-tired-I-can-barely-move-a-muscle tired.

Emotionally tired.

Physically tired.

Tired.

I know there's a non-tired phase somewhere out there in my future.

But tonight, or for the last couple of weeks, I felt really tired, I don't want to get up again.

Is there any medicine for tiredness?

Don't get me wrong. I am not complaining of the situation that cause the tiredness.

There's a reason for anything.

But tonight I really want to it all just go away.

I want to un-know you.

I want to un-do/re-do the things I've done.

I wonder sometimes if I choose a different path in every steps I take, what would life be?

Am I going against my fate, my destiny by saying these?

My head is really tired from all the thinking.

I'm tired,
