syakir is now 16

Sometimes I forget that my little brother is not so little anymore. He's still a baby in my eyes, because this boy is still oh so manja sometimes and then I feel soooooo geli but I actually like it!

He's finally 16 now. Omg really? This boy who used to sleep with me, used to yearn for my hug before he fell asleep.... ah I can feel that I'm gonna tear up soon.

Oh well, it's a matter of time before he starts bringing a girl home and I'm no longer the only girl in the family. I hate this. Growing up really sucks.

Whatever I'm doing now, if it's not for my future kids, it's all for you my brothers Syafiq and Syakir and also, for our beloved parents.

I want nothing but the best for us. 

i am still cute

19 April 2017, a new me.

If you don't already know, I've taken out my braces like finally! I felt like a newborn the moment I took them off.

Everyone kept asking me when would I be taking it out, why does it take so long for me and oh god, if I can list down all the questions, I would. (But I'm too lazy for that.)

I wish I had blog my way through this whole braces journey.... I actually tried, but I kinda forgot which old blog of mine did I draft the post in. This is why physical diaries are so much better. But oh well, I want to have pictures to remind me in future. 

Anyway, it all started in late 2013, around December. So I've been having this issue of ulcers and bleeding... because of the way I bite my teeth. So I knew I had to get it fixed as soon as possible before it gets even worse. 

I mean if you know me even before I put on braces, you would know how bad my teeth was. Never mind, let me show you.

So this was taken right after I put on the top row first. Gosh, my teeth looked soooooooo bad omg.

I remembered how awkward it was for me to smile the first few days. I felt weird. I kept going in front of the mirror, trying to practise how to smile less creepily... but oh well let's just say, I'm born with this creepy smile la.

I also couldn't close my mouth properly. Was it painful? Yes, but bearable. Now that I think of it, it's actually pretty worth it.

The first few people I met after putting on braces were these two ladies up here. 

I tried my best to smile less awkwardly guys, I really did.

Oh, I also remembered I went to Abang Zuhri's engagement days after putting braces on....

The struggle to eat..... I remembered staying away from rice. I remember taking noodles, and I didn't even chew it. I just... gobbled it down. It felt so painful when I tried to chew my food!

Also, the first Korean stars that met me with my braces on..... this was before meeting Lunafly.

After I slowly got comfortable with my braces, I couldn't stop smiling with my teeth. It prolly got some people annoyed HAHA I'm sorry for being a weirdo. These braces ain't cheap, gotta show them off to the world.

They really cost a bomb. I hope my future kids will be blessed with the most beautiful set of teeth and sweetest smiles ever so that I don't have to pay for their braces in future.

And this is the last photo of me before I took them out.

Should I frame it?

This whole braces journey is slowly making me tear up.

And finally now.....

The new me.

I still feel so so sooooooo weird without my braces. I mean, they've been a part of me for about 3 years plus now. I've grown way too attached to them. The amount of time and money I spent cleaning and making sure I would end up with a better set of teeth, I guess they're worth it.

My teeth and I.... we both have come a long way. Now please dear self, please don't be lazy and put on retainers. Braces are NOT cheap. 💪🏼

They say, people with braces look cute. So did I look cute? Oh well, it doesn't matter I'm still cute. 💅🏼

the start of our YouTube career lol

People say, you attract the same kind of people as you.

I know, for sure, that I am weird. I do things that probably makes people who go out with me feel like they should not have asked me out. Crazy? Totally. That is soooooo me. I do and say things normal people don't do or say. 

But thankfully, God has been nice enough to me. He has gifted me with friends who actually want to do all these crazy things with me. In fact, sometimes they initiate it.

Soooooooo, last Sunday, right before Afgan's concert, Syahirah really wanted to make a reaction video. And I agreed to it. (No, I was not forced even though I kept saying I was forced into it. It's all just a joke.)

I cringe whenever I watch myself on screen. Tell me this is totally normal.

But the most shocking thing is, the amount of views on our videos. We did this out of fun, and we probably will do more of such videos (because my friends are enjoying doing such videos way more than I expected!) so stay tuned lol is this the start of our YouTube career HAHA

On another note, I really need to watch my diet, start working out regularly. It's quite obvious that I have gained a lot of weight from these two videos sigh 😪 

two favourite boys on stage

When I say I like guys who are nerdy but cute at the same time, there should only be one person in you head: Afgan. No one else.

He can sing, he can dance, he can rap... well he tried, A for effort la. Oh the list goes on. He's also soooooo cute. He got great fashion sense. Gosh how can someone be so perfect like this, this is so annoying!

I've always wanted to watch him perform live, and I finally did just now. He's so good live and he gives really good fan service.

A makcik actually pounced on him. Yes, a makcik in tudung actually threw herself at him. If I ever become like that when I'm older, please. Please slap me back to reality. He was nice enough to actually just gave her a pat on the back. Such a nice person! 

Initially I was reluctant to buy tickets to his show, but the moment I saw that Sonaone is performing as well.... HELL YEAH I AM GOING. Bought tickets and tada, I caught both of them live. Singing to X. My two favourite boys on stage ugh it's so hard to choose between them!

My Mama's Boy right here apologized to me so badly because he left early and didn't take a photo with me. Such a cutie honestly.

I hope, I really hope one day.... I can marry a nice decent guy. 

After watching Afgan live and listening to all these love songs, I can't wait to get married. I'm planning wedding playlist right now. Heck, actually I'm already planning my wedding now. Minus the groom. HAHA 

Afgan is definitely performing at my future wedding. Best, if he can be the groom.

What's your dream wedding like?

after more than a month

Oh wow, I haven't updated this space for a really long time. It's amazing how people are still coming here to read this blog. Am I an influencer now? HAHAHA we all know I'm far from that.

So many things have happened over the past one month plus.

This year is the second year of me being part of the Upper Secondary level team for MAEC. So far, it's been nothing but great. The kids are great, the people I work with are lovely.

We brought the kids out to NUS and Singapore Poly to let them have a sneak peek of what's life will be like if they study hard and end up at those tertiary institutions. 

It was tiring, but I had a lot of fun with them. We all got even closer through this short excursion. I hope in future, we will have even more kids and mentors joining us.

I also brought Syakir to his first concert ever!

In my family, he's the only one who actually bothers learning how to play musical instruments. So the other time when I had to cover FT Island's concert, I told him to just follow me. Him, as usual, always full of comments this boy!

"They're not playing live."

"How do girls survive wearing short skirts here?! I'm freezing in this indoor stadium."

And the list goes on....

He's going to TWICE's concert in April. That boy is sooooo excited over it honestly. 

Oh God guys, he's becoming more and more like the guy version of me. 😱

He's growing up way too fast, time flies way too fast. This also reminds me that... two girls from idiriqinifil are married now.

Ifah got married exactly a month after Ain. They didn't plan it btw! Telepathy game is strong among us girls, no joke.

I had a good time catching up with the other Dunearnites. Some getting engaged soon, some still saving up for marriage, some still single... we're all grown up guys. I'm still trying to keep up with this whole adulthood.

Whatever it is, all I can say... Congratulations Afifah and Khairin!

Dad with Sofia Hana

My paternal aunt is off to Umrah for her birthday trip. I hope one day, I will be able to afford a yearly birthday present to the Holy land just like her. Best, if I can bring my loved ones as well. Because there's nothing I want more for all of us, but to all be reunited in heaven one day.

Anyway, Dad thinks Sofia looks like him. Gosh, someone needs to bring my Dad back to reality! Sofia is waaaaaaaay fairer. But ok, we all have these sepet eyes.

Now, do I look like my Dad? 😂

Last Friday, right after sending my aunt to Umrah, I rushed to NUS to watch Hazwani's performance.

Among us, I feel the ones who can really sing are Fuad and Hazwani. They're the kind of people who sing really well during karaoke sessions, you will just don't wanna sing with them when duet songs come on.

Right now, I'm hooked on to Yuna's Penakut and The Temper Trap's Sweet Disposition all thanks to her.

Last year, there wasn't any much hype on the iLight festival.

But this year, oh this year... everyone's talking about it. And of course, I got to go to my favourite place to see the exhibitions. I enjoyed last year's exhibitions more honestly. The exhibitions this year are not as interactive as last year.

I still had a great time tho. It's at my favourite place, so being there just makes me happier than ever.

Phew, what an update! Hopefully I will update as frequently as I used to, at least.

Ain's off the market!

We're all growing older, but today... TODAY. I felt like adulthood finally really kicked in. 

So many things happened during secondary school, and one of it is the fact that I'm in this clique called idiriqinifil. We're just a bunch of girls who think we're so cool, but we're actually not. Though we're not as close as before, I'm still glad that God let us share good memories in secondary school together.

Few weeks ago, the prettiest one among the clique. No kidding, every Malay guy in school wanted to try to win her heart. Even those not from our school... you can say she's the prettiest Malay girl in Dunearn. And she's my friend, Ain. Yes, part of the idiriqinifil clique.

So anyway, Ain and I text once in a while. We rarely meet, like REALLY REALLY rare. Once a year kinda thing, or even more. Few weeks ago, Ain and I finally set a date to meet. Me being me, I was soooooo excited. We had dinner together, and then... she surprised me with her wedding card!

As usual, I started getting protective. I asked her so many questions about that guy and so far, I approve him. Their love story is definitely like in a drama, that's all I can say.

Last night I came to help her out, honestly I just wanna see her while she's still single... but hey I did help out!

People have been asking me why did I wear the hijab, and well... she hopes that the guests at her wedding really jaga their aurat so that her marriage will be more blessed. Of course, as a friend, I really just wanted to make her day. So I put it on. Honestly, I love it even though I struggled so much with it. 

No, I'm not wearing the hijab full-time.

Soon, in sha Allah.

I helped to draw these boards last night to help her out. Tell me it didn't turn out that bad, right? The males and females seating area were separated during her wedding, just like how weddings should be like.

The wedding boards did not look like how I wanted them to be. Still, I had a great time bonding with her other friends and learnt a lot about my religion. I have definitely learnt a lot from interacting with people who are more knowledgeable about my religion. I don't know how to explain this feeling, but it's such an amazing feeling. 

I came home at 1 in the morning, and had to be at Ain's place by 10 for her nikah.

The nikah was so simple. So simple, that I love every single thing about it. No lavish hantaran. Just the wajib, which is mas kahwin. May my future marriage be as simple and beautiful like this one!

Her berkat is simple but so practical.

Yes, a book about the most basic thing.

I'm still trying to sink it all in. Like guys... my best friend is married! She's not always there, but she always remember to pray for me. And the best of friends are those who pray well for you.

She's now someone's wife. This feeling... this incredible feeling. A marriage till Jannah, that's what I want for her because she really deserves it. In fact, for everything she has done for me, I hope we will be reunited in Jannah again. We both are not perfect and we know it. But I still want nothing but Jannah for us. 

All the photos I have of Ain. As much as I want to post them, Ain does not like the idea of having her photos up on social media and I respect her decision so there are no photos of her even though this whole post is about her wedding, and for her. 

So... that's her super cute nephew Lutfi!

Congratulations Ain and Safian! 🎉

my kampung is cooler than yours

I've been spending a lot of time with my family for the past few weeks. Time is flying by way faster than I thought, we're all growing older and we will only get busier from here.

As usual, every Chinese New Year, my dad will try to get away from Singapore... I swear he's just waiting for me to earn enough before the whole family can fly out every long weekend. My "cannot duduk diam kat rumah, must merayap" behaviour definitely comes from him.

I haven't gone back to my kampung for a really long time. Honestly, I have been trying to recall when was the last time I stayed at the kampung but I just couldn't. This time round, I went back to kampung and man, the place is getting cooler than ever.

After attending a wedding there, my whole family straight away went to the mall nearby to catch a movie. I was contemplating between XXX: The Return of Xander Cage and Kungfu Yoga. Because my brothers got annoyed and then rushed me to make my decision, we ended up watching XXX.

The movie is actually not that bad. Nonsensical, with action. I like it, even though people are going mehhhh about it. Seriously, why don't you guys like it? I mean, other than the fact that Vin Diesel tried too hard with his "not so nice body, but still no bulging tummy, but no abs too" body, everything else was not too bad. Donnie Yen actually did the Ip Man trademark move. Deepika tried hard with her English, I mean come on, it's just her accent give her some chances. Kris... no comments, I couldn't really figure out what he's saying. Is it Korean? Is it Chinese? Oh wait, he's speaking English.

Too many stars acted in the movie, but all's good. I like it, overall.

Right after the movie, we walked around a little bit before heading to this "hipster" place nearby.

I wanted some CBTL while the brothers wanted subway. CBTL was full with Chinese families gathering there. Seriously guys, do your gatherings at home. It's really annoying because I couldn't get a place to sit in CBTL because they were all gathering there with their families. In Singapore, I get annoyed when this happens because students are studying there. Sheesh, I just need to sit and consume my food peacefully. GIVE ME A CHANCE PEOPLE.

My kampung used to be sooooooo uncool and boring guys. But now, this place has themed cafes, online shops setting up a REAL shop... it's like wow, I feel like investing some money and actually open my own shop to make this place even cooler. Let's hope it will happen soon. Time to start saving my money HAHA #mykampungiscoolerthanyours

And finally after sooooooo long, I had some time with Sofia Hana. My other niece. She's not that close with my paternal side, but it's okay. I still love her just the same, she's soooooo cute and really easy to take care. She's slowly getting on the Aunty Syafiqah's Favourite Niece Award.

She's now four months old. Time really flies. No joke man. I remembered being all tired, just from your parents' wedding day. And now, you're 4 months?!?! You better be helping out a lot when I get married HEHE 😈

I hope it's still not too late to wish my Chinese friends.... Happy Chinese New Year! 

I'm still single, so yeah I'm just waiting for some ang baos. 🍊🍊

astronaut, nah

I finally went to see the NASA exhibition at ArtScience Museum today, now I'm left with SAM's exhibition to tick it off my to-go list of places.

Weed and I, with Wall-E's twin brother

It's Weed's first time at ArtScience Museum, so I bought the tickets to visit all the exhibitions in the museum. $29 each since I'm still a student, so why not right?

By now, I swear I think I could pass as the museum's guide. I somehow remember the littlest details of some of the exhibitions. It's pretty amazing.

The moment I saw this photo, I told Weed that the guy on the most left looks pretty cute. I mean, come on, look at his smile. That straight teeth which is most probably the results of braces, and his neat hairstyle and not-too-bad natural eyebrows. Agree with me, he's cute right?!?!

Right after I told her that, kids, young Caucasian kids... stared at me. Then they started calling the names of those astronauts. Apparently, that cute guy is Neil Armstrong.

Guess the theory that humans generally like someone who looks somehow familiar to you is kinda true. 😂

I have been wanting to go to the NASA exhibition since before it even opened, and really... no regrets. I had a loooooooot of fun. 

I even rode on this G-Force thingy, which makes you feel like you're in a spaceship. I felt so dizzy the moment I went out of the spaceship, clearly I'm not fit to be an astronaut. 

Astronaut, definitely out of my career choice. 

Most of the exhibitions I visited just now are so Maths, so here I am still waiting for dear self to create an artpiece worth millions.

new year, new me

I finally got some productive work done. By that, I mean... start studying. A new year shall help me somehow... get my head in the game? Because really, I've been slacking and having way too much fun.

Today, I told myself, "This is it. No more slacking." Yeah yeah, like the whole new year, new me concept.

And I got out of bed, cooked some dishes and started grooming myself. I showered, ironed my clothes, put on some makeup and made my way to Starbucks.

Then I bought Ice Chocolate, which is really, really disappointing... Seriously Starbucks, come on. Even McCafe serves better Ice Chocolate. Okay okay, I shall give it another chance. Maybe, just maybe it's the barista today.

I sat for a good 4 hours at Starbucks to study. Probably just 20 minutes worth of distraction. This is a miracle btw. I had this huge urge to actually go on my social media sites, but NO. I didn't. I deserve a standing ovation for this, really.

Oh and I really, really wanna blog about this.

I had my MacBook on to catch up with my lectures (really guys, bad idea to skip lectures but this girl right here just never learns her lesson) and suddenly, a notification came on. As usual, me being me got easily distracted... paused my online lecture video just for that notification.

So someone tried to airdrop me a photo of himself. I looked around and saw a guy who looked like the one in the photo. At first, I was wondering whether I should sneakily just accept that person's selfie and save it (and blackmail him with that photo 😈  ) or actually tell him that he accidentally sent it to me. But hey, I'm a nice person... so I told the guy that he accidentally sent me his photo.

I told this to Syahirah and Daya... and well Daya answered, "Lucky not nudes."

Now that I think of it, I could totally make a drama out of this. A hot guy accidentally sending a photo to a girl's phone through AirDrop and then they started exchanging names and numbers. And the love story goes on.

Any boys reading this can totally get an idea on how to ask a girl out.

BUT REMEMBER. NO NUDES. Respect yourself.

what a way to end my 2016, and to start my 2017

The past few weeks have been going so crazy. So many things to share, so many things I wanna blog about so that I can read back one day and reminisce all those good memories.

Few months ago, I posted about asking for permission from my parents about a trip with Daya. The trip happened, just not the two of us. But five. 

Haris, Syahirah and Hamid decided to join us about a month before the trip. People thought they were people I got to know in KL. NOOOOOOO guys, they're my friends. We are REAL friends. 

We girls took the bus from Singapore to KL first, and really... I couldn't believe how near KL is to Singapore. Maybe because I slept most of the time in the bus, but I do that most of the time whenever I travel. I just felt like the drive up to KL was so short as compared to when my dad drives up. 🤔

The moment we arrived in KL, we checked in at our hotel and went out to shop at Bukit Bintang.

I stayed at Berjaya Times Square for the whole trip. Honestly I love the location so much, like if I'm hungry, all I got to do is go down and get some food. But the service was pretty disappointing. Come on Berjaya, step up your game. The wifi sucks btw, thank God I bought data there which costs RM38.

The boys joined us for dinner later that night, and the next day we went for a hike at Bukit Tabur.

Everyone around me probably find it weird. I don't hike in Singapore, but I hiked in KL while on holiday?! I do work out, but hike is on another level.

When Daya and I planned the itinerary for this trip, we wanted to do more than just shopping and eating. One of the things we wanted to do was actually bathing with elephant. Well, we cancelled that off, probably saving it for some other time.

We found this activity on someone's blog and decided to give it a try. 

I was so thankful that Haris offered to carry my bag for me during the hike. All I did was focus on the hike alone, the only baggage I'm carrying is... well, me. 

Syahirah has this anxiety problem which made her feeling like she's always having stomachache and diarrhea. We even went back to the toilet at the petrol kiosk near the hiking area just for her. I was pretty worried at first. Luckily she was kinda fine all the way.

The hike started off pretty easy at first, but it got even more challenging as I went further up. But the crazy part was when we had to go back down. I really felt like a monkey that whole day. Grabbing on trees and swinging myself here and there... Thank God I came back down safe and in one piece.

I almost fell while taking a picture so Daya tried saving me, and this picture turned out SO wrong.

I'm just so glad that the three of us girls survived this hike.

Yup, my butt was so dirty by the end of the hike because I'm just so clumsy.

Totally worth it tho.

Also, I'm just so proud of myself. 😌

I couldn't have done it without our guide Amos and of course, Hamid and Haris. They were really a great help for 3 girls who clearly think they are the princesses of Singapore. 

This trek is called Dragon Back Trek. If I can survive this, I'm sure anyone can do it. Plus it's a good workout while on a holiday.

We were done by 11 in the morning, so right after that, I went for dip in the pool. Totally a good way to get rid of all the body aches. I didn't ache so much after the hike, thanks to the pool. The water in the pool was CRAZILY cold, so cold I felt like I'm doing the ice bucket challenge.

The next day I went to District 21, all the way in Putrajaya. 

Because they only allowed proper shoes in District 21 and I didn't really feel like wearing my muddy sport shoes, Daya and I bought cheap fake Adidas and Nike shoes for this. Not sure when else will I wear it now... I need to stop buying things on impulse. 

I had a lot of fun at District 21, surprisingly... It's a place for kids so I'm not sure whether I still have yet to grow up or something else.

If you're expecting crazy adrenaline rush kinda games, I'm sorry to break it to you, you'll be disappointed. All the videos on YouTube about District 21 definitely overhyped the place. But I had fun, still. Because I make do with what I have HAHA

Right after going to District 21, I stopped by the Damansara area to eat Nora Danish's cafe.

The food there was actually quite good. I think the bad reviews people had been giving about the place were probably from her haters. Or jealous people who couldn't open up a cafe with pretty decent food.

Syahirah wanted to go to Hard Rock Cafe so badly, so we did that night.

I thought Hard Rock would be those kind of chill pubs, but no... I was wrong. It was crazy ROCK kinda pub. I mean, what can I expect from a pub called Hard Rock. 

My entertainment for that night was definitely these two men right here.

If you follow me on Twitter, you would know what happened. Heck, I shall just share it here then.

So these two men were sitting opposite me for about an hour plus before I realized that there's something awkward between the two of them. They didn't utter a single word to each other for a good one hour. All they did was eat, drink and their eyes glued to their phones. They didn't even bop their heads to the music. 

So I was wondering whether they were enemies and friends. I mean, you didn't talk to each other AT ALL. Not even looking into each other's eyes. 

And then, the DJ started playing Titanium and Firework... all they did was fistbump each other. So I was like, "Maybe they're friends."

They then started talking again after 30 minutes or so, and then changed their seats. For a moment, I was shocked and scared.... like what if they realized that I had been staring at them for quite some time. (Maybe they actually did, but whatever.)

My friends then decided to change seats too, so here I am with a very "subtle" selfie with one of the guys.

They are soooooo tall. I have a feeling they're basketball players or something. The guy in cap looked similar to Usher btw.

Two girls who were speaking Malay to each other came to join them after that. Probably a double date, but the guy in cap kept using his phone and viewing other people's Snapchat. His friends really updated their Snapchat like crazy man. (yes, I was peeping at his phone.)

They changed seats again, and well I spotted them. Daya thought they went home...

When we were about to leave Hard Rock, the DJ was playing Get Lucky. All I can say is that, the four of them were probably about to get lucky that night!

The whole trip was amazing. The boys were really patient with us girls and I love how we girls were on this whole matching tees, matching sweatshirts, matching shorts and many more. It's like we're sisters, but we're not.

A day after I got back from KL, I went back to Batam after years of not going back there.

I felt really tired, like I'm suffering from jetlag. Seriously, how do people travel for work all the time? My body couldn't keep up with all the travelling...

I used to go to Batam a lot when I was younger because there was a period of time my Dad used to work there. So I spent my holidays there to spend time with him, but really we didn't do anything there when I was younger.

Now that we are older, my brothers and I appreciate shopping and grooming ourselves so we enjoyed our time back in Batam. You can say Indonesia is my second home. I'm going back to Indonesia so many countless times in my life, I seriously should consider applying for PR there.

My brothers and my dad also really wanted us to wear matching tees together because we looked like we're little kids again with matching attires. Clearly, my dad misses those times when we were younger and not as irritating as we are now.

Syafiq also finally turned 20. He's 20 now omg. Time is flying way toooooooo fast. My loved ones growing older, I'm finding it hard to keep up.

Fuad also turned 21, and I couldn't be there for his surprise because of Rain's concert. So all I gave him was a bouquet of flowers. Really felt bad for not being there for his birthday, I'll somehow find a way to make it up to him.

Right now, we are finally in 2017!

I'm still trying to get it all to me. I still feel like it's only 2012? Everything is going by way too fast. But one thing I hope is that 2017 will hopefully be a great year for me and my loved ones to show our full potential to the world. To be successful, to be happy and to continue to strive to be the best people for heaven.

I didn't do much on this year's NYE. I was just chilling at Daya's place till a little over midnight and then headed home. Nothing special, really.

I did make the day itself special.

I wanted to go to Christmas Wonderland so badly. I mean, everyone's doing it with their partners. I wanted to do it too, but well... umm I'm single. Sometimes I hate the fact that I'm single, because all the cool things to do, you gotta do it with a boyfriend. Most of the time, I'm happy being single.

I'm glad that my other two single ladies decided to go to CW with me. I had a good time to spend the first day of the year with them. 

Just laughing around, being all goofy and crazy while playing bumper cars... Oh did I tell you that I got free tokens?! 💅🏼  Azreena and I were just laughing around when a group of young teenage boys gave us free tokens (and then tried asking our numbers which of course, we didn't give because hello, you guys are like tooooooo young for us ya) so we decided to buy a little bit more tokens to play the bumper rides.

Totally worth it, because we now know how bad our driving skills are. Even Zarifah who has a driving license is soooooo bad at it. We also bought butterscotch beer, which is non-alcoholic don't worry I won't let my hijabi friend drinks alcohol. But she was so high after that, I really hoped there wasn't any alcohol in that drink.

We ran for the snow, and it's totally worth it with these girls.

May 2017 be a year filled with lots of positivity, and I meet more of my favourite people, become crazily famous and rich and successful, and eventually start dating my favourite boy.
