Exams are finally over, so DJ it's time to put the music back on and party away!
I haven't been updating much the past few days because well, I was busy trying to end my finals well. With that, I mean... actually studying super duper hard for my final paper. Finally now, I have time to update what I have been up to.
Last Sunday I went to my JC's schoolmate's wedding. Can you believe it? My friends are slowly settling down, getting their life geared up for the future. Here I am, still unsure of what I should do in future. It worries me so much right now.
Amira and Bani
Amira and I go way back to end of J1, when we were together as roommates during MLEP trip in Indonesia. You see, I'm not close to any Malays in JC. So during this trip, when we had to choose who to sleep with, it was a little tricky for me. But I'm so glad up to this very day, I had gotten to know Nana and Amira.
I felt sick, like super sick. Up to the point, I vomitted some black stuff out (I would like to think it's just because of some charcoal tablets I had been eating days before that!) and trust me, it was so gross. But this girl right here, she continued to take care of me and saying prayers to me the whole time I felt so in pain. Days after that, I got well, super well. The moment I touched down, I was just screaming for good steak.
I went to the wedding with my 13yo cousin, Sabrina. Her other younger siblings were crying and throwing tantrums at home when Cik Ita (basically, their mum) decided to only allow her to accompany me to the wedding.
It felt great to have people who yearns for my time and company and actually felt sad when they didn't get to go out with me. Seriously, anyone who wanna date me, you got a lot to do to impress me. 😂
So anyway, I'm just so happy for Amira. I hope all of you pray for her happiness, especially now she has jumped into the marriage life. She's really... a sweet nice girl. Congratulations Amira, may Allah SWT bless you with all the good things in life!

Right after exams yesterday, I went back home from Pasir Ris to Yewtee. I was contemplating whether I should take cab all the way to Yewtee from Cik Ita's place but I told myself not to succumb to taxis all the time (seriously whoever invented Grab and Uber, you just added more problems in my #firstworldproblems list) so I decided to take public transport home with my huge luggage and bags filled with notes.
I boarded the bus and when it reached the station at the MRT, I gave up and just took cab home because I couldn't take it with the luggage and bags and the heat. It rained the moment I reached home. What luck!
I went to meet the upper secondary mentors to celebrate the end of finals! Not that I really deserve it, but heck.
Fuad and Kashib
Had a great dinner session at Manhattan Fish Market, also a great discussion.
We were discussing about genders and sexuality and I found out that apparently in Islam, you can be gay or lesbian but you just cannot "layankan" the fact that you're one. By that, I mean practising those forbidden acts. Also if you're gay or lesbian, you cannot marry even if it's marrying the opposite sex because that's like cheating your partner.
Well, this is according to them. If you're reading this and you know more, please share it with me. I would like to learn more about this topic and how Islam works around it.
Funny thing was, when I paid at the cashier, the cashier was umm, a little not so straight. I just went 🌚 because I was just thinking of how loud we were, trying to convey our views on homosexuality.
Right after dinner, we rushed to NUS to catch a Hindi movie together. It's free, all thanks to Rhea. The movie is gooooooood, like seriously you have to watch it. It's not your typical love story. It's about being human. And, you will definitely fall in love with Kashmir because I did. That place really got to be in my travel list.
We had supper and a good short talk with Hazwani as well right after that. So much dramas to catch up on!
Oh and while on the way home, Kashib and I had a good talk about losing weight. We both are at our heaviest! So we had this bet, whoever loses lesser weight, in a months' time, will have to treat the other one. So far, the progress for this bet ain't going that well! I'm in a deep shit.

And today, I finally spent time with Daya. That girl missed me too much, oh what do I do~
We had brunch at Beanstro and I ordered a good plate of Chicken Pomodoro. Finished it up in less than 30 minutes. #somuchfordiet
Right after that, we went to ArtScience Museum for the Future World: Where Art Meets Science and Van Cleef & Arpels: The Art and Science of Gems exhibitions. #soartsyfartsy
My art pieces for the day
We spent a good 40 minutes colouring using crayons, and deciding the colours and which templates to choose. But we had really fun talking and... just colouring like little kids. Well, before that we spent a good 5 minutes playing with the slides. Really, we are kids stuck in adult's bodies.

All about Shapes
For this one, I had to stack up the right shapes to make it look like a diamond or some gem stone. I was so happy doing this, and really Daya couldn't understand why. Is it the nerd in me? I guess so.
And we folded this, with a lot of effort. Well I did the pink one, it was more tricky than the blue one, I feel.
To end our time together, we had a good tea session at TWG before I headed to tuition and she headed back home.
I'm just seriously enjoying life as it is.
Thank you Allah SWT for everyone that has entered my life and, for everything.
