If we could light up every street with our cellular phones, then maybe we can save ourselves or maybe we won't. But it doesn't even matter if we got no plan, as long as you're holding on to somebody's hand.

And only try to save myself
i expect to pass through this world but once.
any good, therefore, that i can do
or any kindness i can show to any fellow creature,
let me do it now.
let me not defer or neglect it
for I shall not pass this way again.

From falling in love
Learning the best way to navigate through life while stepping on the least number of toes.
"Anybody who takes himself too seriously always runs the risk of looking ridiculous; anyone who can consistently laugh at himself does not." --Vaclav Havel.
So go ahead and chuckle a little.
Afraid to walk the streets alone
love means to commit oneself without guarantee,
to give oneself completely in the hope that
your love will produce love in the loved person.
love is an act of faith,
and whoever is of little faith is also of little love.
-- erich fromm
Waiting for something
falling in love with someone
isn't always going to be easy.
anger, tears, laughter..
it's when you want to be together despite it all.
that's when you truly love another.
i'm sure of it.

i have been saying i wanted to revamp my room since the ancient times. i finally got around to do it. got the first step done! cleaned,vacuumed, threw away some stuff i really don't want, and keeping those that i feel sayang throwing away cos it's still in good condition, although i have no idea when i'll ever use it again. heh. :)
i already bought the paints a long time ago. yesterday i bought new bedsheets. two days before i bought myself new curtains. and made oniisan give me his curtains from japan. the postings for oniisan to bring back the curtain (of course it included some other stuff) cost 200freakingbucks. so i am extremely grateful! thanks oniisan. hehe. yesterday i already put them up. but not before spray painting my bed's frame.
i have been a busy busy woman. not to mention shagged and tired! but i'm contented. though it's not completedly ready and not exactly the way i want it (yet), i've pretty much made a promise to myself to make it all happen by eid.
so in some ways, this is an early preparation to welcome the celebration of eid. hahaha. two month early, betol punyer early! :D hehe.
once i paint the walls, the window grills and have a change of furniture, i bet my room will look completely new! insyaAllah, what i imagine in my head can come to life in august or septemper! *doa banyak banyak. hahaha.
P.S.: i'll put your picture then okie freddy. haha. :D

'..and it may be that you dislike a thing while it is good for you, and it may be that you love a thing while it is evil for you, and Allah knows, while you do not know.'
~chapter 2, verse 216.
yasmin ahmad, the amazing malaysian director for various movies and adverts that really had me pondering and close to tears said during her interview at picture house awhile back (at least something like that), 'everything happens at the right place, at the right time, to the right people'.

not yesterday, not tomorrow, but today. right now, right here. the present, that matters most. not yesterday, not tomorrow, but today.
"When something begins, you generally have no idea how it's going to end. The house you're going to sell becomes your home, the roommates you were forced to take in become your family and the one night stand you were determined to forget becomes the love of your life."
. . .
"We spend our whole lives worrying about the future, planning for the future, trying to predict the future, as if figuring it out will cushion the blow. But the future is always changing. The future is the home of our deepest fears and wildest hopes. But one thing is certain when it finally reveals itself. The future is never the way we imagined it. ~grey's anatomy, season 5, here's to the future~
oniisan is planning his honeymoon destination after his marriage come december. and it's probably mauritius. mauritius!
THAT'S MY HONEYMOON DESTINATION! (if and when i get married, insyaAllah.) i've always wanted to go mauritius,since secondary school. either that or athens. since athens is probably the more expensive choice,my eyes have always been on mauritius.
alahaiiiii. but i don't blame him la. mauritius is a gorgeous country with beautiful shorelines, white sandy beaches and clear blue waters skies. who wouldn't wanna go to mauritius right? haha. :)
me: mama, abang tengah plan dia nyer honeymoon tau! abeh dier nak pegi mauritius, kpo sey! that's my honeymoon destination! *merajok. mama: kau belom tunang ke ape, ape pikir honeymoon. are you conscious or not?
there's no one who puts you right in your place quite like your mom. X)

i set my alarm the night before, enough time for me to get all freshened up to view the total solar eclipse live. of course sleeping late didn't allow me to wake up,instead curl right back into bed. i missed the longest solar eclipse of 21st century live! i need my human alarm.
i think i'm beginning to rediscover myself. that's a good thing. it's a great thing.
i feel better now. i'm eating better. i'm actually feeling sleepy right now. rather than those sleepless nights. im even confident about my second lab test just now. :) Alhamdulillah.
everyone has a battle to fight, everyone has a shadow that follows, whether we like it or not, whether it's going to be pleasant or ill, it's on us to make it right. for as long as it will take, it's on us to make it right.
it's not the size of the dog that fights, it's the size of the fight in the dog. someone dear to me said that once upon a time. it was when i was just about to start school. i'm beginning to truly understand what it means.
Alhamdulillah, subhanAllah, Allahu Akbar. this would never have been possible without You. small steps, small baby steps, small cute baby steps. heh. i'm glad to have those who cheer me on, constantly. :)

i'm currently watching the deen show, for the first time by the way. where baba ali's invited to talk about how he came to Islam. he is so cool, wise, learnt and not to mention funny. oh haven't you notice, he's got facial hair? ok, maybe more of stubbles. hahahah! sempat sey. :b
'i go play basketball, i go do this, i go do that, you have a normal life, but i do it within the boundaries of Islam.' 'if you wanna know about Islam, ask a practising muslim.' ~baba ali, ummah films.
