And the adventure begins…

It’s a wonder that things that happen in your life come your way when you least expected it. I think life has an enchanting way to announce it’s lovely surprises for you.

To Jay, I couldn’t be more happier for you. You’ve finally find The One *hurray* I won’t be surprise if the wedding is somewhere near the future

 

Curiosity Kills the Kitty

As much as I wanted to know things about people, sometimes I wish I wouldn’t know certain things about said-people.

 

Me and my why’s *padan muka*

 

But how to actually say,  ” No, I don’t ever want to know your secret. No matter how tiny or big it is!! Shusshh. Go away. I’m blocking my nose ears now…”

 

Secrets used to be fun, but they had lost their charms in the complicated adult world.

Of Being Chatty

I didn’t reply to this either because Mrs Alexander was doing what is called chatting where people say things to each other which aren’t questions and answers and aren’t connected.

Mark Haddon, The Curious Incident Of The Dog In The Night Time

Be sensible, baby…

How does it feel to let it all out? To be irrational and just be?

To blow off your lid, be mad and shout all of the obscene words you knew?

Sigh. Sometimes I wish that I am not always a rational person.

When Panic Attacks…

So many things to plan/decide/choose/do, and yet I haven’t done a single thing yet. A classic case of mildly chronic procastinator *smile sheepishly*

 

I could feel the waves of panic attacks washing over me in the months to come. Breathe, Amal, breathe. Inhale, exhale….

Two weddings and a funeral

I’m always at loss on what to say to friends who lost someone dear to them.

 

On joyous occasion, like weddings, it’s just so easy to be smiling happily and congratulating the pengantins.

 

But death? The loss of loved ones? How do you comfort their loss when you yourself cannot imagine how they must be feeling? Yet, you want to comfort them, to say that it’s gonna be okay when it might not. To say time will heal all things, when you’re not sure when will it be. To say that they will get through this, when you’re not sure you’ll always be by their side to get them through it.

 

Truly, I’m at loss… Clueless, even.

To dearest F*d. I might not know exactly how or what to do,  but just know that I’ll be around whenever you need me *hugs*

This & That

Went out with K’s best friends the other day. I was actually nervous to meet them as I had tried my very best to avoid meeting them for so long *blush* What to do? I’m a hopeless romantic social-phobic.

I couldn’t get out of it as he knows now, that in order to get me to commit to something, he needs to ask me in advance and make me swear promise to do it.

They turn out to be nice people. I might need few more meet ups to get warmed up to them as I usually do with strangers. To find some common grounds, or not.

 

Trivia#1 Almost all his friend are married. Was asked by K to form the wives club. What am I? A socialite? And I’m not even his ‘perempuan halal’ yet *rolling eyes*

Trivia#2 All the wives either just had a baby or stewing one in the oven. Did I hear my pressure cooker whistling like mad?

Trivia#3 Band of Brothers are on Cinemax *woohoo* this trivia is totally unrelated except that I saw a guy wearing a Band of Brothers t-shirt. Hehehe.

 

All in all, it wasn’t such a disaster. What a relief!!

Taking the chill pill

Life gets more peaceful these days *content*

It’s probably the after-effect eating less, talking less and concentrating in doing more good than harm.

It’s always a time to reflect, to ponder and even to aspire.

I just love Ramadhan

So long, farewell, goodbye

Saying goodbye is never easy. especially to your loved ones.

It’s harder when you know they’re going away to seek for something better for their lives.

It’s the hardest when you can’t be physically there for them in their times of needs. To be able to reach out and comfort them as you should….

Quaint

There’s something about old idyllic towns.

The buildings, the air, the atmospheres, the surroundings and it’s people are all very refreshing to my eyes. They seem to have a certain character of their own. There’s this certain peacefulness and calmness in the air that makes them what they are.

Me and old towns, it’s a never ending love affair…
