Last Friday, I set aside some time for Haris, Syahirah and Daya and we all went karaoke at Cuppage.
We went right after Daya ended her exam paper that day. It was a crazy bus ride from CCK all the way to town.
First, we had a group of secondary school kids sitting behind us and gossiping about their friends so freaking loudly. Daya even had the urge to turn around and ask them shut up. It felt like they were screaming at the top of their lungs. Then, came a secondary school boy who sat beside us and he was talking on the phone like he was on speaker. Ok, this kid got us feeling shocked, and then we both just ended up laughing. He was scolding his friend for not paying his money back and then he had to eat maggi to survive (really, I felt so sad when I heard that and pitied him) but after some time, the situation got even more suspicious. Apparently, he paid the guy to get him a Japanese girl. I didn't even felt pity anymore by then. Like how a pimp works, I was so shocked when I heard about what was going on but I just couldn't stop laughing because he was really so desperate for a Japanese girl. Come on kid, you're not even legal. What are you thinking seriously?!
Our first photo as a group together, the first time I met Syahirah and Haris
We sang our hearts out for 3 hours, god it feels so good. Haris can really rap, and I love it when we all sang to the old school songs. Really, all my secondary school and primary school memories came flashing back. I may not be as close with the people in the past now but no matter what, they hold a special place in my heart. They saw me growing up, and they went through the shittiest years of my life. The phase where I wanted to try all the cool things, the phase where I was trying to discover myself, the phase where I did all the stupid things in life... just a phase I would not wanna repeat ever again.
All four of us then chatted at Yewtee McCafe till 1 a.m. and really, that night... all of us freaked out after sharing all the superstitious stuff, and whatever scary encounters we ever had. I ran home that night, and showered... couldn't stop saying out all the Surahs in my head.
The next day, my aunt invited all of us to her place for kenduri because of Nisfu Syaaban and just saying prayers for those who have passed away.
Ayra, my niece
Ayra is now 9 months old. Can you believe it? I've been an aunty for 9 months now. And oh my, this girl has grown so much. She used to cry a lot whenever I wanted to carry her back then. But now, she laughs and... drools a lot. Her saliva was all over my shirt, my bag, my jeans... everywhere. But her laughter was everything I wanted to hear. Gosh, can you imagine me being a mother? I'll be one obsessive mother.
It was also Kak Nina's and Kak Siti's birthdays. So we celebrated their birthdays that evening. I just love how my extended family is still as close as now. Whenever I talked to my friends about my cousins and how we bond, many cannot relate. We cousins don't meet often, but whenever we meet, we talk and laugh like there's no end. I hope we will grow old being as close as now and I hope we will all see each other again in heaven because I want nothing but my loved ones in heaven, gathering again.
Yesterday was my least busy day for the weekend. I didn't do much, just went for MAEC session.
Fuad and I, the only two mentors who came yesterday
I thought I was late yesterday, and it turned out that Fuad and I were the only 2 mentors who came for yesterday's session. The kids were lazy, didn't have the mood to study because exams just ended. But I made them complete one Malay worksheet since Malay O's are coming up in less than a week from now.
Oh, and every part of me is jealous right now because Kashib and Fuad are in Japan now. Every part of me wants to be in Japan at this very second. But I told them to get me some cakes from Japan hehehe
I told D to get me a life-sized Doraemon for me to hug. If you're on my Snapchat, you probably know by now I went out with him just now. Like finally... as usual, we caught a movie together.
But before that, since I was late, I owed him a treat.
We went to Hoschino Coffee, a Japanese cafe. I was so hungry because I went out of the house right after getting ready. Yes, we spent $52.02 on Vanilla Souffle, Iced Royal Milk Tea, Iced Fruit Tea and Lobster Spaghetti. The Vanilla Souffle was so goooooood, I didn't even take a photo of it. D took it, but I'm too lazy to ask him to send me that photo.
Something funny happened while I was paying at the cashier.
D: Here, take this $30.
Me: It's ok la, my treat.
D: At least take this $20.
Me: No, it's ok...
D: Take it, or I'll stuff it in your bra now.
The waiter at the cashier looked us like 😳 D and I, we're pretty close so we're pretty open in our conversation... Probably that cashier got the shock of her life.
D and I, before movie
We watched X-Men: Apocalypse this time round. I've never been a Marvel kinda girl but ever since we've been hanging out... I can say that I have been pretty open with my choice of movies. (Still a no for horror movies tho!) I mean, if he can stay through watching me cry during Our Times or watching funny lame shows (probably not his kind of movies!) with me, all I can do as a friend is do the same. If only Ada Apa Dengan Cinta 2 is showing in Singapore, I would have dragged him to watch it with me.
The movie was good thanks to D, because without him, I will never understand the humour they're trying to convey. And after watching this movie, I've made up my mind. I want to be Jean Grey. She can read minds, how cool can that be? Imagine reading the minds of examiners and getting A's for finals, imagine reading your crush's mind... like do you like me, are you playing hard to get or you really don't like me at all? So you know, you don't waste your time trying to woo that person. Oh well, but then it'll stress you out.
Right after the movie ended, I rushed to Somerset to meet Zarifah. After months, I finally met that girl. She accompanied me to get a new foundation because I'm finishing mine soon.
The lady basically tried all the good stuff on me, and she kept emphasizing to me about how important for me to prep my skin before putting on makeup. She kinda lectured me for being lazy on my skincare routine. But thanks to her, I had a good makeover. She made me wanna buy all the stuff she used on me, but sadly I'm not rich so I could only buy a few that she recommended.
Oh, and I tried this foundation. This foundation costs SGD360. It's so good, but a little too pricey for a student like me who isn't born into a wealthy family. Really worth the hype for me! I would probably come back and buy it when I'm finally working. As of now, I shall focus on getting a good stable job for myself.
Right now, my skin feels so good because the lady at NARS put on all the serum, eye cream and all the good stuff on my face just now. I've been buying all these cruelty-free products more than I realised all thanks to Zarifah. It's definitely a good change, especially for someone heartless like me.
