Assalamualaikum..
Hello everyone..just got back from JB today ..
Grandma was admitted into ICU last Saturday, and all of my siblings gathered back home on Friday for a visit..
It was a really heart breaking moment to see the one you really cared and love lay there helplessly..
The Grandma I knew was an iron lady, had always managed to pull through practically everything..
Seeing her helplessly on the bed motionless, made me practically unable to churn the fact that the person whose laying on the bed was her..
No matter how much I've tried to control myself, the tears kept on swelling in my eyes, and drops unconsciously now and then..
It had been an emotionally tiring period for me last week..had to push myself to go to classes, forced myself to eat..
I was practically a walking zombie..
All I ever think of was my Grandma..and how her condition was..
Every now and then Mama would call up late nights and early mornings, crying..
I guess it took a toll in all of us, as a family..
I was literally on the verge of breaking down, that I often found myself sobbing quietly in between classes, in between phone calls and in between meals..
I lost my weight unconsciously..
Dragged myself to endure the 4 hours drive back to hometown..
And on Saturday itself, I was temporarily warded in the Emergency ward the same hospital as my Grandma..
Why?
I was having continuous high fever for almost 9 days before..and it gets worse every day..
With the lack of proper meals and the pile of stress, I guess its no surprise I didn't land in there sooner..
Had a blood test and chest X-Ray and I was diagnosed by the doctor to be lacking of Potassium, white blood cells and red blood cells..
Simply put, the level of salt in my body is below average of a normal person T___T
So, I was warded and put on IV Drips for around 4 hours..
Because I was stubborn, and refused to be admitted (cause I had classes on Monday and I cant afford to miss it) =D
Amidst everything that had happened, my whole family gathered on Sunday (20 May 2012) to celebrate Ayah's 57th birthday =)
Im glad we managed to stick together through thick and thin to leap the hurdles that happened in our lives..
I hope and prayed to Allah that my Grandma would get well soon, and everything would be better for all of us..
Insyaallah =)
P/S - May this month of Rejab brings us more grace and good offerings in this life and after, Amin

I can see bowls of porridge filling me ='(

Confession of a Clueless Potato
All my life, (and I really exaggerate this in bold caps locks!! =3) I always regard myself as an ugly ducking..
I never got the chance to hang out with the glamorous chicks in school or even date the hot guys..
Was usually in the field most of the times..where I felt the sense of belonging..
I was either playing mud with the rugby boys (was in charge of managing em ) or doing my own thing (training my boys with their silat and play sports (hockey, softball, handball etc)
So, when time passes by, 15 years to be exact, I developed into an athletic physique kind of girl..
And I am now 24..and I am LITERALLY clueless on stuff that girls do (makeup, fashion, etc) and mishaps always happen when I do!!
Evidence?
1) The first time I wore eyeliners, in this particular case the liquid ones, I nearly went blind, as I accidentally poked my eye!! HARD!! (due to the fact I was fidgeting while I was using it)
2) The first time I wore fake eyelashes for TM's big event (I was TRICKED and FORCED into using them)..When it was time to remove them, it wouldn't come off!! I had to sleep with them on and it was itchy!!
3) The first time I used the eyelash curlers, OMAIGAWD!!!! my whole eyelids were nearly pulled off! *painful!!!*
Sigh...
To make things worse, when a guy says I'm pretty or cute, I feel so weird and dumbstruck!!
I do not know how to react..
I do not know what to say..
What I do know is that I feel like punching him..hard!!
LOL..
Guess its not too late to change for a better cause..
I mean, I'm not getting younger, and I DO want to look pretty, but unfortunately, its not my forte T___T
I'm FAR more comfortable in jerseys and jeans sadly ='(
And most of my clothes are either jerseys or in black and 'safe' colours..
BUT!!!
Fret not!! I will try to be more ladylike SOON!!
I'll post the updates soon=D
Wish me luck =3
And LOTS and LOTS of it!!

No More Tomorrow
No more tomorrow
You got someone’s love, but that does not mean that you have it
You keep walking, but that does not mean time passes
You keep breathing, but that does not mean you’re alive
There’s no tomorrow
I’m still exactly the same as then
The time stopped right at the last moment
However it’s just the past to you
The memories which were tearing my heart apart
They’re now ripped off the calendar
They’re fading as the years goes by
I pretend to live forgetting you
My world is still same
Only there’s no you
They’re telling me that afterwards I will smile recalling the past
For me it’s not even easy to raise my head which was facing you
Why do they keep talking even though I don’t even wanna hear them
I’m staying here
Don’t say that tomorrow is the new day
The morning will be darker than the night when I'm with you
Don’t say that after a storm comes the calm
The calmness will be more anxious than the worries when I'm with you
Everything is a mess
It’s spring again to you but my seasons don’t change
Even though my heart blossoms
I’ve got no tomorrow
It’s a dead smile which is empty inside
They say I look even better, than when I'm with you
That they can stop worrying about me now
But I can’t breathe
This smile cannot deceive me
I became normal
I emptied my heart a lot because it became a burden
I’m going crazy
Stop telling me your consoles because I don’t want to hear them
Please stop, just stop
They say that the cure of love is another love
But meeting will be more lonely than a farewell to me
They say that the time fixes everything
But the life will be the same as if I’m dead every second
Now I know that
Till you come back
There's no more tomorrow
Till you come back
Everyday is yesterday

I'm So Random
Just something that popped my mind =')
Yeah, sometimes, relationships aren't meant to last, but at least you have memories that keeps you smiling now and then..
Sometimes, when you loved someone too much, you just gotta let it go..
No matter how much it would hurt you in the process..
Memories are sacred, don't bother to erase them from your heart..
It enriches your life, and makes you driven to be a much more better person for the next =)

Uhh Hello?!?
Hello earthlings!!
Its been almost an exact 2 years since I posted up anything in this humble blog of mine..
Many things happened recently, and I guess one would always turn to their most trusted source of outlet..
Tho I know that it won't be that much of a private thing where this blog of mine is in public domain which is research-able through browsers, I just seemed not to mind..
I just needed a place to pour all my feelings out, and not bottle it up before I go coo coo!!
Like a dear friend always said,
So, I'll try to keep up posting my thoughts, views, and how life had been for the past 2 years..
I'm not expecting much of an audience to gibe me a standing ovation..
I don't expect too, as to be given credits as I a fully prepared to be criticized and be plunged to deep of the abyss..
DO I sound depressing??
Yes, maybe I do..
After all, with all that's happening around me..
I'm not even sure who I am anymore..
Too bad..
The toughest part of letting go is realizing the other person already did...
