On the way back home

Date: 16th June 2016, Thursday 

Start: 9am (Malaysia time, but I'm still on the plane so) 

Assalaamu'alaikum, everyone! Good morning? I'm currently on the plane back home now. That vacation really passed by fast.. 

I remembering promising to update the 2nd day I was in NY, and I apologise for the empty promise.. hehe. Looks like I wrote on the first and last day xD 

In my defence, when we come back at the end of the day I am too pooped to write anything. There's only so much time between when we get back and suhur. 

Anyway, let's get to what I did during my vacation. 

Firstly, let me describe where we stayed. We stayed in this one basement-house place, that had a gate with the sign "Prohibido el paso" in Mexican. (No trespassing in English). At first I was sceptical it would be nice since the outside was so dirty, but when we went inside it was actually really pretty! There were 3 rooms, and small living room, a small kitchen and one bathroom. The beds were really soft and comfy uwu 

Day 2

I remember that all we did was drive around, I think. In the evening we drove to New Jersey to visit Dad's childhood friend. He brought us down the neighbourhood to this park that overlooks the Manhattan Skyline. It was very beautiful! (Although cloudy) When it started to drizzle, everyone started to leave. My sister and I made it to their house just in time, because for some reason it started to rain very heavily very quickly. It was surprising how heavy it became so suddenly. 

While my sister and I were nice and dry inside, the others were soaking wet. Afterwards, we talked and had dinner. Dinner was good! Wait.. 

Wait a minute. 

I've written about this, haven't I? Silly me. 

Day 3

On the third day, we basically spent two hours in the morning driving to SixFlags in New Jersey. It was extremely fun, but I do regret going ^^' It was extremely hot, the rides reminded me of BTS, the tickets were super expensive and not to mention it was the first day of Ramadhan and we were fasting. 

Not the best way to start Ramadhan, huh. 

Anyway, I suppose disregarding all that, it was fun. The most noteable rides we

went on were 'The Nitro' and this other twister-style ride. Sky-something. 

SixFlags, NJ is home to the best rollercoasters in the world, I think. It has the world's highest (and only?) vertical rollercoaster, and the Nitro. Nitro apparently is the 3rd best rollercoaster in the world, according to my mom. 

It was super scary but super fun. 

At first we were going up, up, up- overlooking the whole park- and then we were going down so fast! It felt like we were going down vertically for how light I felt. The ride was really fast and had a lot of twists and turns and ups and downs.. //sigh I just love rollercoasters <3 

The other ride was a twister kind of ride, but it brought us up ~250ft in the air, overlooking the whole park and spun us at 40 miles an hour. It was very fun as well! Afterwards we got dizzy and too hot so we decided to go home. I was asleep the way home but apparently we stopped at the Bronx (?) to get some meat and my mom really hated the place.  We all crashed when we got home amd I had a headache because of how dizzy all the rides were. 

Day 4 

Today we just drove around to almost all the iconic places. We drove through Wall Street, Queens, Fifth Avenue, went on the Brooklyn Bridge and drove to Long Island, I think. The scenery was definitely very pretty. It kind of amazed me that this was the daily life of the people that lived there. 

Day 5

Today Mom and Kakngah went to go pickup Kaklong in Chicago because she was taking just too long to get to New York already. So Dad, my other 2 siblings and I drove around the airport for most of the morning (not on purpose) and didn't go out till after Zuhr. We decided to go to the Natural History Museum. 

Unfortunately for us, when we went out it was raining, windy and cold! I regretred not bringing my umbrella. It was a struggle trying to get to the nearby subway because of how windy and cold it was >< Some locals were wearing quite short clothing, and I could only wonder how they managed. 

We had some trouble at first getting a MetroCard, and then we got into the wrong side of the subway, but eventually it was all good. It was my first time on the subway! At first I felt a little nervous, afraid something bad would happen to one of us, but the people were totally.. normal? I don't know what I was so paranoid for. The subway wasn't so bad either, save for the loud noises the trains make. 

When we went out, it was still cold, windy and rainy. In fact, it was so cold, when we blew out air, you could see our breaths! Crazy. Anyway, so we walked quite far through the streets and through Central Park, and eventually we arrived at the Natural History Museum of New York! 

My dad said it's the largest in the world. 

I don't like learning history as a subject, but I do love history museums. Everything amazed me! Well, almost everything, but we'll get to that later. 

We saw the different dinosaurs first, like the stegosaurus and the T-Rex. It's interesting to think they used to live on this Earth before we did, that they actually lived. 

Hrmm, I can't remember in order but we saw some galleries of birds (they were extremely lifelike!!) and walked through different culture's histories, like the American-Indians, the Asians, etc. To be honest, learning about the people made me sleepy. I couldn't keep my eyes open ^^'. We also saw the different animals and their habitats of the world, which was also very fascinating! 

We also went to this one place that showed exhibits about natural cycles and phenomena in the environment, saw the biggest tree stump-thing I've ever seen, and looked at the rainforest section (a very colourful and diverse section ouo). 

Weirdly, when we exited the museum it was extremely blue and sunny! Still cold, but very blue and sunny. Summer in NY is very weird, indeed. 

Overall, it was definitely interesting. 

(It was only later that I was told that they shot Night at the Museum here, by my mom. Should've guessed that when I saw the stonehenge-like object.) 

Kakngah and Mommy returned that night while I was sleeping, and they brought Kaklong with them. I was happy to see her, but it felt like she never even left. 

Day 6

Dad kept telling us how annoying it was to find parking for the car (they're always ready to hand out fines, and there're so many restrictions and it's just so much trouble), we took the sub to Battery Park instead. It was really sunny and windy! Battery Park was very pretty and green, and I managed to see the Statue of Liberty from a distance xD 

We walked for a long time, going down Fifth Avenue and Wall Street, and ended up going into this one store called Century 21, after Mom saw the 'Up to 70% off!' sign. At first I think we weren't really going to buy anything, but when we looked at all the shoes (most of them were branded!) and how cheap they were  (in comparison to their original price), we were in there for quite a while. I bought a pair of Fred Perry's, my sister Adidas, Levi and my brother Polo's. They were nice shoes xD 

Then we went to go pray Zuhr and Asr at the Islamic Centre in NYU, which had a very pretty view of Washington Square Park. 

Then we tried walking to the Empire State Building (which was ~20 streets away), but Mom got tired so we headed home. Empire State doesn't actually look that tall, to me. There's this one rectangular building (reminds my brother of a french fry) that looks taller than it. 

Day 7

For most of the morning, we drove through NYC and saw Times Square for the first time! It's a very pretty place, but too many people. We also drove past this one avenue that my dad told me is called 'Fashion Avenue'. I thought that was cool. 

Then through the afternoon and evening we drove to Connecticut to see Anastasia (!!) at night in Hartford. 

Okay, about the drive to Connecticut: it was such an amazing scenic view. Wow. The countryside of Connecticut is just so breathtaking. There were so many beautiful houses and they had such green grass and wide gardens and it was just.. !! I honestly hope that I get to experience living somewhere like that somehow, in sha allah. 

Anyway, we arrived in Hartford an hour early for the musical, and I was way too dressed-up. -.- If I had known I didn't have to change into a dress, I wouldn't have. Oh well. 

Now about the musical: It was amazing!! I loved the singing and dancing and it was just so captivating, but what really made me excited was the royal family. I just got so excited everytime they appeared, probably because their crowns and tiaras and beautiful dresses and clothing just took my breath away. And probably because I think being royalty is pretty cool <3 

I liked how there were still songs from the movie, and how they made it pretty realistic (unlike the movie) in terms that the Romanovs got overthrown by the people and government. 

The singing was all very amazing, but I didn't really enjoy the love between Dmitri and Anya like how I did in the movie. There was just no spark, no development. But I suppose they did their best, and that's good enough. 

I'd definitely try to find a chance to watch it again in the future. It's so enjoyable to watch :D 

Before we headed home, we ate at a halal restaurant nearby, called Al-Addin (I think). I had my first  slice of pizza in America xD 

Day 8 

We left quite late, and basically spent most of the day (before Iftar) at the MET. Some things bored me, some things really interested me. I also, again, was amazed at the fact that real people made the artifacts we saw- that they had the knowledge and skill even without the technology we have. I was particularly intrigued by the armoury exhibit. 

We also saw all sorts of very old and valuable art, such as by Van Gogh. 

Unfortunately for me, I don't really know how to appreciate art (like the Korean vases or most of the paintings or sculptures) so I couldn't really be amazed. Ah well, at least I got the experience x) 

That night, we ate dinner at this place called EAT as my 'birthday' dinner. Thankfully they didn't sing happy birthday to me or something. Dinner was okay. 

There was a mirror in front of me, and I could see this woman sitting next to us who kept glancing and smiling at us, as if embarrassed or something. I wanted to turn around and ask her "Yes? Do you need something?" but I reminded myself that maybe she wasn't even looking at us, or maybe she was saying something good. I didn't have the courage to do that anyway xD It still did make me annoyed that she kept glancing at us, though. 

Oh yeah! At noon today (which was 12 June back in Malaysia) I got a lot of birthday wishes which really made me happy :) Someone who wasn't my best friend wished me at 12am on the dot, which I thought was sweet. I was really

touched by all the birthday messages :3

Day 9

Happy Birthday to me! We didn't go out till after Zuhr (because I wanted to jama' at home). Our destination was Central Park, but we stopped at a Flea Market first. There were all sorts of cool things! There were very pretty pocket watches, hats, clothes, cute jewellery, etc. 

Eventually I didn't want to deal with the heat outside, so my sister and I went into Barnes' and Nobles. (I love browsing bookstores) I enjoyed looking at the stationery and books and little gifts. Eventually my whole family came in and they started choosing stuff they wanted. I

bought a Dr Who kit for a friend who wanted it. Kaklang took a long time, so we had to wait for her. 

Eventually we walked to Central Park because Mom wanted to see the Bow (?) Bridge and this other thing. Apparently Enchanted was filmed at the Bow Bridge, so that was interesting. The park was extremely pretty! A lot of lush, green trees and a very pretty scenery of the lake. Along the way, my sister, my Dad and I had to wait for my other siblings and my mom who were taking a looongg time to catch up with us. Eventually I managed to grab my 2 siblings and we just left my sister and my mom to catch up with us later. 

We took a lot of pictures on the bow bridge, and the scenery from it (it overlooked the lake) was gorgeous. At one point, as I walked towards my family who was standing at the end of the bridge, they started singing happy birthday to me. It was a surprise 'birthday celebration' xD I was very touched to say the least. They handed me a card, my sisters gave me a necklace (I'm going to try to wear it often) and my mom got me a Japanese calligraphy of my name in Kanji! (Nice, right?) 

My mom told me that my birthday present was 'going to Japan', which I honestly can't believe. I'm blessed to have such sweet parents who are supportive of the things I like x) <3 

I think it just might become a family holiday in the end, though xD 

Day 10 

In the late morning, we sent Kaklong off to India. Then, we drove to the New York Centre of Art Supplies to get, obviously, art supplies for Kakngah. Then, at Kaklang's request we went into Grand Central Station (which indeed, had a very pretty ceiling). It felt very posh. 

Then Mom wanted to see the Nanny's house, so we did that. 

Day 11 

We spent most of the morning packing and cleaning out the kitchen, then left to do Mom's 'errands'. We stopped to do some last-minute shopping in Bloomingdale's, and I bought trackpants, cool sunglasses and a cool watch. The mall was like an American version of Alamanda. 

Then we stayed at an airport inn while waiting for our flight, and left NY at around one in the morning. We arrived in Dubai at around maghrib, booked another hotel while waiting, and now we're on the plane home. 

The trip to not only NY, but New Jersey and Connecticut as well, has been fun. I thought that there'd be anyone who'd tell us we were terrorists or pickpocket us (which is why I was scared to come at first) but the people in America have proved me wrong. They've been so nice to us! It was great :D 

In sha allah I'll get to visit the US again someday. 

This marks the end of my vacation to New York. 

End: 10.45am 

New York (Day 2)

Date: 6th June 2016, Monday 

Time: 8.27am 

(I'm going to be writing about yesterday xD Maybe that's what's going to happen for all my posts..) 

Assalaamu'alaikum and good morning! 

Yesterday, we didn't really have much of a plan but Mummy wanted to drive into 'the Village' where the outside of the FRIENDS' apartment was. It wasn't the set, but it was basically the fake 'outside' and at the bottom of the apartment there was this little cafe called 'The Little Owl' if I'm not mistaken. 

The first thing we did was have lunch at this diner bc Mum wanted to use the bathroom, and it was for customers only. As usual, we ordered too much and had to have takeaway. The food was good though. Our waitress was egyptian and said "Apa khabar?" to us xD (Makes me wonder how obvious it is we're malay) 

Afterwards we just hung outside of that café I said and took pictures. 

Then, we went back home and then went back out to our dad's friend's house. It was 3 stories tall and it was quite cozy! It was comfortable finding someone who was also malay lol x) He took us down the street to this park where he showed us the Manhattan Skyline view. It was very pretty!

We could see Times Square and the Empire State Building, and a lot of other cool buildings. Then it started to rain! So we quickly made our way back. Thankfully my sister and I came back before it started to rain heavily, but my other family members weren't so lucky. 

While waiting for dinner we played with the family's daughter, Marissa. She showed us around her house (like her basement where she plays. It was super cool! She had this device that had the same function as Siri, but it was called Alexa instead. You could ask it any question and to play songs and such) and we played the game of life. Didn't  manage to finish it though bc we were called down to dinner. 

Dinner was good! There was lobster and lamb and grilled salmon and chicken chop. We also had strawberries, cherries and blackberries at the end. Yum. 

Alhamdulillah, it was a good dinner! 

Then we played 'What I'd bring to a picnic' with Marissa. Kakngah and Kaklang fell alseep later and so Marissa, my brother and I started to play with an 1000 piece puzzle. But we were stopped bc my parents wanted to leave, so we cleaned up. Then we bid our goodbyes and went home. 

Overall, the view of the skyline was enjoyable at least. 

Today is the first day of Ramadhan! Ramadhan Mubarak! (First time spending it overseas owo) We're going to Six Flags, in sha allah. 

Well, that's all for now. I'll write about today tomorrow. 

Assalaamu'alaikum! 

End: 8.48am 

 

Welcome to New York (Day 1)

Date: Sunday, 5th June 2016

Time: 1.23am 

Assalamualaikum! Hello! 

We arrived in New York at 9am yesterday morning and reached our apartment at around 12pm >u< 

I'm going to try to journal this trip bc if I procrastinate in the end I'm never gonna write at all haHAHAHA 

So it's the first day and we were so jetlagged we slept the whole day! So now I'm awake and its 1.30 in the morning. 

I'll sleep after I pray Subh at around 4. 

Also, Ramadhan is tomorrow! Yay! I'm trying to be excited to fast òuó First time fasting in the summer (from 4? to 9 uwu) In sya allah we'll manage like how the muslim-americans have ouo 

Not much to say about yesterday. Our apartment is at the basement of those connected houses you see on tv, but ours is really cute and pretty! Dad bought pizza earlier, and there're strawberries and cookies and juice too >u< (imma have a good breakfast tmrw haHA) 

I'm excited to drive into Manhattan this week!! See the Empire State Building, Brooklyn Bridge, etc.. 

Well, that's all for now! Hopefully I'll be rajin enough to write tomorrow. heh. 

Assalaamu'alaikum and good night (?) 

End: 1.30am 

Saturday, 21st May 2016

Start: 9.44pm 

Perhaps the title of all my posts will be just the date? Seems better that way.. 

Anyway, hello there! Wow, it's been 4 months since my last post?? Time flies so fast!! 

Hrm, basically the noteable things I can say I've done in the past few months are:

1. I got no.10 in cross country! Yay! 

2. I can't believe I didn't write about this! I went to Melbourne on a horseriding trip in March for a few days. It was very fun! 

3. Just 2 days ago, I finished my 1st Semester Exams which was two weeks long uwu It was hard! Two weeks passes by so slowly! I'm really bad at Add Math, so I pledged to try to do better this sem 😂 I got some of the best marks for Geo tho (bc I love Geo) so that's good :) 

Just now I came back from watching Avengers: Civil War. It was very interesting ouo It really made me think about a lot of things while watching it.. What's right? What's wrong? Who decides that? I had a good discussion w A about it.. Speaking of which, I originally stayed over at A's house, and just now we hung out together w R and D! 

We had Thai food and had really long discussions about how to split our money 😂 (Note to self: Thai Ice Green Tea is really good) 

Ughh I've already told this to me sister and Pe'ah and I'm not sure if it's appropriate to say this out loud but there's this guy who likes me and he's just.. I don't know what to feel? I feel so perasan 😂 He's sporty and really smart, but I'm not sure about his Islamic points. Anywho, I'm sure I don't like him that way but I admit I'm quite flattered xD

So yeah, that's basically it. My birthday is in 20 days!! And.. we're going to NY on the 2nd! I haven't told my best friends yet, but I'm super excited! 

Ah, also today my sister decided I'd be her canvas and she put makeup on me xD I've never put on this much makeup as an adult before.. www I think it looks nice but I hope I don't grow up wearing makeup.. 

I've decided that I should try to blog once a week as a method of journaling, somewhat. I think it'd be interesting. 

Assalaamu'alaikum and good night, then!

End: 9.56pm 

It Starts Here

Day: Monday, 11th Jan 2016 

Time : 12.23am 

Hahaha good morning xD I'll try to make this really quick. 

So, it's been 3 months since I last updated? Happy New Year~ Or rather, that was 11 days ago. 

Right now I have the tough decision of deciding the fate of my future.

What exam am I going to take. 

(Speaking of exams, I got 2A+, 3A and 4B+ for JHSA. Not the best results (though I'm getting awarded for it), but that's my own fault.)

I've thought about for a loong time, to the point my friend told me that I'm too much of an over-thinker (and even my family is pretty annoyed). It's hard, though! 

This exam decides your future, your whole life. Pros and cons of SPM, pros and cons of IGCSE. 

I don't know what I'm going to do yet, tbh. I went to the Star Education Fair the past weekend, but I'm still not sure. 

Maybe I'll take IGCSE. 

In sha allah it's the right choice. 

My parents just returned from Italy, today. They bought me a handbag, which is quite cute. I'm glad they had fun :) 

Last month I also attended Comic Fiesta, which was also fun!! For me, anyway. I've recently been really into Osomatsu-san, so seeing it during the con was exciting. I met a lot of my favourite artists! 

Aaah, also.. Cross Country is this Sunday! It'll be a year since I've made this blog, huh? How time flies uwu 

Hopefully I'll do really well!!! 

Also, I'm house captain this year! By vote. Honestly, I wanted to be house captain next year to compete w my own friends, but this is my rezeki. I hope

I'll be a good leader too!! 

I'm joining badminton and volleyball, wonder how that's gonna work out.. 

I'll try to update soon, it's pretty late. 

Good night! 

Assalamu'alaikum~ 

End: 12.32am 

Chicago, Chicago

Date: 14th September 2015, Monday

Start: 1.14am (Abu Dhabi time) 

Good morning!! It's 1.15 in the morning here in Abu Dhabi, which means its 5am in Malaysia. 

Why are we in Abu Dhabi, you ask? Well, It's because we're sending Kaklong to her college in Chicago!! Yaaayyy :D 

Our transit was in Abu Dhabi, so our flight to Chicago is in 2 hours. 

I don't know what to expect, but I'm very excited since it's my very first time to the USA! (The land everyone talks about) 

Just now, our flight was as exciting as the trip! (Will be- I'm sure) We went on business class. Can you believe it?! No, it's not because we're super rich and can afford things like that. I think it was because that all the economy seats were taken (idk), so they moved us up to business because there were free seats there. Lucky!~ 

Astaghfirullah xD It was our rizq, sorry- our rizq. As my friend said, we had 'murah rezeki'. I was very grateful!! 

I sat next to Kaklong, and was very surprised and excited at being in the seat I was in (I was shaking). Me being the jakun person I was, I explored everything. 

IT WAS SO COOL. There was a footrest, the seat could lean back (there were buttons for upright mode, relax mode and sleeping mode!!), the remote and tv was super cool, there was a loott of legroom (I'm very thankful), there was a charger and we had great food! It was my first time (and maybe last, unless I become rich as an adult heh) sitting in business, so it was an experience! And we didn't even have to pay extra, how great is that??! 

Anyway, right now we're waiting for our flight. I guess I'll look for other ways to fill up my time. 

Ah, that's right! This week (or rather, last week) I finished my JHSA trials!! I was confident for some papers, and less for some but I guess it was all good B) 

I guess that's all for now? I'll write some more later, in sya allah. 

Bye for now! 

End: 1.27am 

Emotions

Start: 12.33am (23/7/15) 

Oh yeah. 

Possibly this will be Part 1. Where I talk about how I feel? Idk. Fight me. 

Technically this would be Part 2, then, huh? After the last post X) 

Anyways, 

yesterday we were at my Uncle's house. He lives on the 15th floor. 

I walked onto the balcony and for a pretty long time, I just stood there- leaning against the rail. 

I don't know. The view was spectacular and the wind felt nice, but my heart twisted and grew uncomfortable for some reason. Especially when I looked over to Genting. 

Amazing how something so far (in a different state even) could be seen so clearly. 

Maybe it was a sense of longing. I wanted to be somewhere else. I wanted to not care about stuff right now. To travel? Probably. 

What were the people there doing? I bet the temperature felt nice. It's cold up there, so I think I'd enjoy it at least. 

I reallyyy want to be somewhere other than here, to be honest. 

But I guess I still have a lot to do. 

End: 12.40am 

Thoughts at 12am

Date: 23rd July 2015, Thursday 

Start: 12.19am

Assalaamu'alaikum, everyone :) 

Today is the.. 7th day of Syawal! So yes, Ramadhan has ended and the time to spend Raya with the family has technically passed (￣▽￣' ) 

We wore purple on the first day, and electric blue on the next (We went to Johor)

I managed to survive iktikaf X) Was a struggle but I managed! I went for a whole week+ //thumbs up// doesnt count that i went back right for a night right hehehe 

//sigh 

Truth is I really want to write about how I'm feeling right now. I should be asleep but this is kinda worrying me. I want to tell someone but I also don't..? aGH 

I feel quite nervous and worried for my class rn. I don't know if I can cope. It's my laziness, I'm sure, but I don't wany to continue being afraid of going to school because I don't know how the teachers will react to my un-accomplishments that i alwAYS say I'll do but end up not doing!! UGGHH IM SO FRUSTRATED WITH MYSELF 

I know I'm wasting time most of the time but I just continue procrastinating while thinking about everything I have to do 'later'. I want to scream at myself because I have low willpower to do anything. //sIGHS 

I tell myself do better and that I'll try harder but aaGHHH I REALLY HAVE TO

I think I'm having friend problems but I'm not really sure. 

When I talk about problems in the family with my family I start to cry. That's pretty weird. Even Kakngah does it, I think. 

I want there to be someone irl who'll just listen to everything I have to say. I wish my best friends understood. They probably would, but I feel so reluctant to tell anyone at the same time. 

I'm getting mad at myself again >< 

//breathes

Okay, 'rant' over. I really wish these butterflies would go away. 

Hari Raya Party coming soon, and I'm hoping I'll get to wear my cool pants and muslimah shirt combo! 

My 'art style' or whatever is slowly improving :) Hopefully I'll be able to draw really nicely in the future, in sya allah. 

Salam, and good night, people!~

(Posted on 6th June 2015, Saturday at 4.01pm) 

Date: 5th June 2015, Friday 

Start: 10.30pm 

Dear blog, 

maybe that's how I should start each post, so it feels like a conversation.. 

heh (￣▽￣)

Anyways, a bunch of things have happened recently! 

First of all, today my family and I were supposed to go to Singapore.. we were gonna see the botanical gardens and basicalle explore S'pore and stuff.. 

Unfortunately, otw my mom received a call that her uncle was on the verge of death, and later.. passed away. 

We turned back of course. It was for the best, albeit I was rather disappointed. 

Rn we're otw to kampung, so we can attend the funeral.. (and yes, at night) 

 Mum said we were kinda disrespectful by singing along to the radio and still laughing after hearing the news.. I wanted to argue "How do you want us to react, mum? Sad? But we don't know our atok that well, even! (not saying I don't care, but.. well.. how am I supposed to feel?)" or something. //sighs// 

Secondly! It's confirmed that the Sunday group for horseriding (which includes meee) will be going to Australia to learn more and stuff at the end of the yeaaaarrr!! yAAYY 

Also, the international horse competition (that I attended last year)  will be in Penang this year and I'll probably be joining againnn (eeeeekk better up my game (-w-' )) 

Thirdly, next week (or rather, this Sunday?) my siblings and I will be joining the kursus kemahiran (Skill Building Camp?) in Kedah! :D I'm joining Ilmu Perkemahan (Camping Skills) 

Hopefully we'll learn how to start a fire with stones and etc òwó

  

Fifthly, my birthday is in 7 daayyss!! //streamers// //balloons// I'm thinking of asking Mum to just make my present a surprise.. although dunno whether itll turn out alright or not xD 

Sixthly, right after is the school's Annual Camp //lesigh// Fun thing is that I'm a mentor this year!! (Since I'm a sergeant heheheh) My best friend and I are gonna take care of this Form 4 cadet group.. so it should hopefully be fine :) 

Straight after is Ramadhan! Quite excited and also worried >~< 

Hrrmm.. aah oh yeah!

Seventhly, Kakngah has finally entered college! She applied for St. Andrews (which she got accepted) but in the end she decided to decline because it was reaaallyy expensive ==' She decided to go to UPM instead (on a scholarship huehuehue) to study medicine X) 

Her stories are really funny! xD 

Eighthly, if you can believe it.. yesterday I accidentally.. lost my phone Y~Y 

I was shopping in Jusco for pants, and in the fitting room I left my phone on the counter and forgot to take it!! Plus, it was gone from the fitting room!!! 

I only realised a few minutes later that I wasn't holding my phone, and worriedly asked the store worker if she had seen my phone. I checked the fitting room multiple times, hoping that magically it would return there >~< The number of store workers who were watching me in worry and trying to help increased. I kept walking around, looking under clothes, hoping that my phone would be underneath them somEWHERE. I asked to borrow a phone, and I called it twiCE. You know what happened?? 

It went straight to VOICEMAIL.. twiCE. 

Near tears, I imagined this was somewhat like a movie, where a thief steals a phone and then turns it off to make sure it won't be called. 

I looked around for a long time, before asking once again to call my phone, FinaLLY, a guy picked up and told me where he was to get my phone. It was a guy on crutches, and I gladly thanked him (continuing to think it was like a movie, where a person who is disabled saves the day) and was sO RELIEVED. I literally bowed my head while thanking everyone who helped me. (sO EMBARRASED AAAAGGHHH) 

 Daddy (who was downstairs the entire time) came right on time (any earlier and I would have seen him so angry and thAT IS BADBADBAD, any later and I would have had to walk around embarrassed alome (￣▽￣' )) I told him what happened, and he told me that was dangerous blablabla, but otherwised laughed it off. 

I decided not to tell my mom about this. 

 But you know what happened?? 

As I continued looking for clothes, I received a call from my mom. I wondered if she was just going to ask if I was done and what other groceries we shoud buy.. but what she did she ask instead??

 "Did you lose your phone?" 

....HOW DID SHE FIND OUT. 

I looked to my dad, and he told me that he definitely wouldn't (you know dads; he doesn't really tell my mom anything unless it's super important) and couldn't (in that short time span between me finding my phone and my mom calling me) 

I conclued it the end that it might be mother's intuition.. haih. 

(Just so you know.. NO, I am not going to ask her how she found out because I definitely don't want to bring it up again) 

She said she would take away my phone for a while, but I guess she forgot.. heh. 

Conclusion: Don't doubt mother's intuition, people. It's extremely effective. 

Whew! I think that's all that I can remember today, blog! Until then, ja ne~ 

Assalamualaikum ;)

What's Happening

Date: 28th March 2015, Saturday 

Start: 10.56am/9pm 

Goooooodd morning! Right now I'm attending Kakngah's graduation day X) The last time I was here I was graduating primary 6 (//sobs) This place really looks like a church on the inside despite being an islamic institute :/ 

So! On what's been happening ouo 

Last week was the 'mid semester' break, and some of my friends and I went for a 5-day Sergeant camp!! I dunno whether to say it was fun or not (￣▽￣' ) It was.. memorable? In the beginning, we actually forgot to bring 2 of our tents and were left with  3, and unfortunately our camping spot was extreemeely far. I thought that the camp would have been extremely tedious by then living like that, but then one of the commanders told us to move because it really was 'too far' and in the end we moved next to the small shore overlooking the river! <3 Not those measly small rivers either, it was those big one which boats could ride on (English should really have a word to differentiate those types of rivers) 

We made do, and actually really enjoyed what we got >w< It was always sunny (which also made the days unbearably hot) but every evening my teammates and would sit next to said 'shore' and enjoy the breeze B) We also woke up every morning before subh to pray Qiyam & Subh, and had to gather in our no.4 attire by 6.30am. I kinda can't believe I managed that. 

The tests were kinda nerve-wrecking (kawad, BaSeD, ikatan and PC) but alhamdulillah we did it in the end! All of us managed to get our pangkat and we are officially sergeants B)))) 

Also (obviously), I've returned from London ahahahaha..//criesbecauseididntwriteaboutit

I really should have!! aaGGHHHH *regret*

I guess I can just remember from memory and my photos //shineshine

I especially loved going to the Natural Museum of History (was that the name?) 

It was very fun!! We saw real fossils from all types of dinosaurs and learn about precious gems and the Earth <3 

Have I written about this before? It feels like I'm repeating this -.- 

Just realised after reading my other posts, I x update about Sports Day! Well for starters, volleyball and lower badminton doubles (both which I entered)  achieved (or, I achieved) 1st place!! YeaaaaaaahhHHHHHH B))) 

I also entered 800m lowers but let's not talk about that.. (￣▽￣)

In the end (I've said that like, 3 times?), Uhud got 3rd for Puteri, and..last for Main u_u We'll try again next year!! 

..Aaaah that's all?? Everything that's important anyway ehehehehe X)

Cross Country 2015

(supposed to be published earlier but there were publishing problems :/) 

Date: 17th January 2015, Saturday 

Start: 2.23pm 

alhamdulillah we finished croSS COUNTRY yaaAAYYYY :DDD 

 I'm an upper secondary now, so I had to run 7km!! It was really tiring, and it's been 2 hours since I got back and my legs ache and I'm still dizzy @-@ 

It was at FRIM, and the place and the weather was really nice!! <3 For some reason, the weather has been clear and very blue (think Australia) and veryy hot (although this is my favourite type of weather -the 'clear blue skies' part and not the 'hot' part tho D:) 

 Thankfully I don't have sunburn (￣▽￣)

At first I was one of the.. What? Top 10? I continued to jog even if I was tired, and even jogged up the drEADED HILLS I HATE RUNNING UP HILLS 

(╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻

 In the middle, A (my friend whom I caught up with and was running with) had to puke because she was pushing herself too hard? So N (whom I caught up with in the start of the race) and I slowed down and told her we'd stick together X) She complained a LOT (A can be a little negative sometimes..) but we helped her anyway XD 

  In the end, near the finish line all three of us sprinted, and A got 11th place, I got 12th and N got 13th :DD I can say I'm pretty proud of myself hahaha X) We did it in about half an hour, i think.. //shrugs 

Anyway, it was quite fun! 'Looking forward (lol)' to next years X) 

Ciao and Assalaamu'alaikum! :)

3rd Week of February

Date: 18th February 2015, Thursday 

Start: 10.23pm 

Heyyooo! #howtobeginapost101 needed but right now I'm really sleepy but I feel compelled to write so yeah X) 

 It's Chinese New Year today, so happy celebrating :) its also the 1st day of the CNY holiday :DD 

A month ago, I (obviously) came back from a week of London!! I would have written each day of it while I was there but im lazy so I didn't OTL 

 It was really fun though!! I went on the underground subways for the first time like in TV shows, went to Oxford Circus, stood on the Greenwich line and technically went to the Royal Observatory, visited the National Museum (which was realllyy cool! There were lots of dinosaur bones and it was science-y and geography-y? My brother and I walked alone around the place, and we learned about space and minerals and gems, and the types of birds and what dinosaurs used to live in the UK.. etcetc :DD) 

 The cold was very refreshing as well <3 Well, i wouldnt have thought of it as 'refreshing' when I was there (because tbh i was frEEZING) but then when else am I gonna experience the cold?? 

 I also went to the Hyde Park, which was exTREMELY COLD and had an abundance of birds! 

 My grandparents also followed us, so I hope they had a good time :) 

Hrmm.. what else? 

2 weeks from now is the Girls' Sports Day! Yesterday, H and I got into the finals which were playing next week (were playing doubles for lowers) //yosh!! 

The other doubles for lowers team for my house also got into the finals! So im guessing i have to beat my own team to get no. 1? #thefightison 

 I'm also playing volleyball, which I hope in sya allah my house will get no.1 for! 

I'm also in track & field, but I'm x sure what I'm running for.. My name is written for 800m, but I hope that I don't really have to do that TuT 

In school, my friends have been saying that I have this secret admirer (￣▽￣)

With their fangirling and small hints and me crossing out the options, I'm pretty  sure I know who the 'guy' is.. dunno how to feel about it yet though 囧rz

I sometimes look at him and wonder what I should be thinking of him -3- he's a nice guy, and sometimes he does look and act cute, but I don't think I 'like' him (yet- according to my friends who think theyre matchmakers or something)  

 Tom is at the vet.. He has been for a while now :( ive had like, 2 or 3 dreams of him coming home already :/ In sha allah he'll be okay ☆〜

I'll update when I have more news  to tell hopefully (~-u-)~ 

Until then, assalaamu'alaikum! 

Ciao ciao~ 

3rd day of school

(supposed to be published earlier but there were some publishing problems :/)

Date: 14th January 2015, Wednesday 

Start: 6.19pm 

Soooo school started two days ago! It was supposed to start last week but was delayed because of the floods in the other states :( 

The first day was.. exciting? Nah not really XD I woke up quite early and got ready for school after not doing so in a month! Assembly was as usual.. There were 2 speeches and either I didn't listen much or they were just too far away to hear anyway :P We didnt have any classss //streamers During break, N remarked that it felt like normal again and it felt like any other day of school (which it did) XD 

The second day of made me wish I didn't come DD: The whole day was filled with talks and orientations and briefings about CCA, the discipline rules, etcetc (on the bright side being no class, but that was also a con because class is sometimes fuunn //sad) 

Today was also quite uneventful. We read Qur'an and had a talk in the morning, and then had break and then we stayed in class all afternoon until lunch (my classmates (the same classmates from last year.. We might as well be form 2 again X))))) and I chatted about random topics for a whole.. 3 hours? Wao XO) Then Zuhr and tHEN we had a sports and crOSS COUNTRY briefiinngg X) 

  Speaking of cross country, doesn't that mean it'll be this blog's one year anniversary?? XD //balloons //streamers 

Anyways, since I'm going to London tomorrow and now that I'm a Form 3 (which means I have to compete against Form 4 & 5!!) and we've got to run 7KM, Ive decided to just jog and aim for above 11 ( i dont wanna join MRSM 囧rz) but less than 30 ☆〜（ゝ。∂）but nonetheless imma do my best!! #fighto!! 

Tomorrow is the training (which just means running around the school) :D 

It's gonna be at FRIM, which is cool because its usually at the lake garden :DD X)

Guess thats it! Will update soon in sya allah >uo 

Assalamu'alaikum :) 

Ciao~

Night at Prince Hotel and Day at Pavillion

Date: 3rd January 2015, Saturday 

Start: 12.40pm 

Good afternooonnn and okay soo 2 days ago (1st Jan) my family and I stayed at Prince Hotel to.. celebrate the new year?? Idk actually my mom just wanted to use her free room discount i think XD 

 My mom's room and our room (the girls') were reaally far apart (my mom's room was 1701 and we were in 1721 TuT). It was alright ou< At least I got to stay at a hotel :D we had Chinese food at night (i got to enhance mah chopsticks skillz //hiiyyaaaaa) 

 The next morning we had a breakfast buffet and I got reaallyy fulll //aaahhh The glasses were really small and I had to refill my ice water like, 6 times  (づ￣ ³￣)づ

the food was okay and the pancakes had a caramel sauce (that i was supposed to refrain from eating XD) 

 After that we thought we would wait for Kaklong to finish her applications or whatever so the 3 of us (Kaklong, Kaklang and I) could go to Pavillion but we knew that would take too long (￣▽￣' ) So in the end Mum let us (Kaklang and I) go by ourselves! (And gave us 50 each) 

Prince Hotel is right in front of Pavillion so it was about a 5 minute walk. 

Aaaahhh Kaklang thought about crossing the road (which i didnt agree to becAUSE OF THE SCARY TRAFFIC) so we agreed to walk to the escalator. 

We went around searching for clothes and fortunately it was quite emptyy (because it was still early) (=´∀｀)人(´∀｀=) we went in and out of stores and i found some clothes i liked and i also bought a head pillow for our trip to London! Oh, have i mentioned that? If i haven't, on the 18th my grandparents, my family and I are going to London! XD //confetti yeahyeah its during the 2nd week of school but no refunds or whatever へ(゜∇、°)へ

 Continuiinngg (why is the colour suddenly red?) we went to Times and I bought a file, erasers and correction tappee

Then i bought a japanese strawberry-cream crepe X))) 

 After that we looked around somemore and we went to Tokyo Street and i found out Daiso is reaally coooll!! They have lots of cool japanese stuff 

Actually on second thought all of Tokyo Street is cool XD 

 After a while Mum came and met us at Tokyo Street and wanted to eat luncch. We walked around looking for a good sushi shop (until Mom decided she didnt want sushi) and Mom got distracted and bought mooCCHHIIII ((i love Mochi! <3)) 

 Then we just went to Food Republic and I got meself some Tomyam Seafood Noodles (yumm) :D 

 Then Kaklang went to go buy the books she didnt have enough money to buy before Mum came and we went hoommee and ate da mocchii //streamers 

 End of the trip! I got really sleepy when I got back zZZzzz 

Well, that's all follkss 

Ciao~ and 

Assalaamu'alaikum! :)

As the title says.. 

haPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONNEE! It's officially 2015, and now everyone has to get used to writing '2015' instead of '2014' and putting up with messing up what year it is XD 

May Allah make this year better than last year, accept our do'as and help us start fresh with this new chapter! 

♪～(◔◡◔ิ)人(╹◡╹๑)～♪

In sya allah we'll stop procrastinating and try to reach our gooaalss owo 

Reach for the stars, or to infinity and beyond! X))) 

{my eyes are getting droopy.. Ahahaha //yawn} 

Also, ive finally started a dream journal! I think having one of these is very interesting <3 you (almost) dont forget your dreams and you can always reread them and wonder 'how did thAT happen??' And depending on the dream youll either laugh about it or get extremely weirded out by your self (υ◉ω◉υ) #sofun 

I already have 2 long entries XD 

Anyway, happy new year again and goodnight everyone! <3

International Horse Show

Date: 22nd December 2014, Monday 

Start: 6.36pm

Waiting for one of my apps to finish loading.. 

Anyway, I remember something now! :D

It was in September and I didn't write anything then ahahahahaa.. 

On the 27th of September, there was the International Horse Show! My best friend and I joined, along with some kids from the Vocational students. We trained intensely for weeks before, not stopping even in the rain! 

The actual thing was pretty cool :DDD There were food trucks and everything! I had a lot of crepes from this one food truck (~-w-)~ 

My dressages (I was entering 2) were on 2 separate days, so I could somewhat 'relax' on the day I didn't have it. AARRGHHH i wish i told this right after i had it because i really cant remember much OTL 

On my first dressage the weather wad pretty bad and my horse went out of the arena, so I was disqualified. Which was pretty sad TT^TT I cried in front of the Vocational students and my mom which was embarraasssiinnggggg /(>~<)\ AAGHHHHHH I guess I was pretty disappointed in myself and what happened because I wanted to do my best TuT Oh well, that was my first one anyway so I can always do it again :) 

My 2nd one was a little better; the horse went out of control again but I managed to continue :) The judge was also nice enough to let me continue because she understood that the conditions weRE pretty bad for the horse //phew 

I remember that I was vveerrrrrRRRYYYYYYYYYYY awkward with the Vocational students (especially the guys) because they were Form 5 and they spoke in Malay a lot and it was just rly weird O.o I can imagine im still pretty awkward (￣▽￣) They were really nice to me and my friend though! >w< 

  As for present times, rn I'm reading this one Manwha called 'One Last God Kubera' or 'Kubera' for short. Its rly sad and feel-ey and depressing and my heart is just //squeeze (இдஇ`。) Dahlah im also listening to this japanese song called 'Hirari Hirari' (Flowing, flowing) which is also a sad, piano song on repeat TTwTT

I love that theres this one yandere in the manwha tho lol <3 

Recently theres also this other manga or rather anime thats pretty sad but touching too ⁽⁽(ཀ д ཀ)⁾⁾

Its called Donten Ni Warau (Laughing Under the Clouds) but theres nothing to 'warau' abooouuuutt :;(∩´﹏`∩);:

There are traitors and deaths and plot twists evERYWHERREEE gAHHH 

  Also, my friend's birthday is today! I stayed up until 12AM because I wanted to be the first one to say it to her X) She woke up 7 hours later and she was really touched <3 Mwah love ya tooo~ B))) 

That's about it I guess! My mom said we'd go out at 3pm but I guess thats not happening //sadface 

Assalamu'alaikum and ciao!~ 

End: 6.50pm 

These past 2 months~

Date: 21st December 2014, Sunday 

Start: 6.28pm 

//sigh Originally I had written a lot yesterday, but I didn't save it OTL Which means I have to rEWRITE IT ALL again TT^TT 

There's gonna be a laaarrgee time skip between my last post and this post XD 

   So, let's get starteedddd! 

<November>

1) After the exams

•I originally wanted to write this when it was AFTER THE EXAMS, but as you can tell I either forgot or I was lazy XD Anyway, while waiting for all of our results, the whole school was pretty laidback. Nothing to learn after the exams, so my friends and I played card games a LOT XDD We played Snap, Liar, Monopoly Deal, Uno, Boggle Slam and Old Maid. I remember we played Monopoly Deal evERY DAY o(｀ω´ )o Haha lol XD We still had to come to school though, because of course you can't exactly skip school. Our class moved to the main building becauss they wanted to use our class for some SPM students, so we were in the floating class next to 2D. Fun times..~ X) 

2) Performance Day and Chrysalis Nightt 

• My school's performance day was at Dewan Sri Perdana, which was surprisingly close to my school! Makes it easier for the parents to come I guess..

I remember that the bathrooms were really fancy and everyone was being really jakun, because they had automatic doors (=ﾟωﾟ)ﾉ 

This year I finally got to beat my rival too!! TWICE!! 💪💪💪 I got No.1 for both semesters, meaning I got 'Best Overall Form 2' as well -w- I also  got 'Best for Science' and 'Best for Geography'! 

I also remember that I saw one of my old.. - Uh, crushes? That changed schools- and I bolted to the front of the hall. Not that I like him anymore if that's what you're thinking (￣▽￣) I'm just not ready to talk face to face or even make eye contact //sweatdrop 

Chrysalis Night was for our school's 20th anniversary! It was the first one evER, and basically it was a night full of performances and special guests.. I did a KRS performance with some of my seniors and friends :) It was held in the same hall as the Performance Day. The dikirbarat by the senior guys was really cool X)) 

3) Leadership Camp 

• This was around the end of November I think? It was a Tahfiz and Prefect Camp at Dusun Eco Resort. We spent 3 days there I think.. It was also kinda laidback XD We had 5 meals a day in the canteen and we slept in cabins. There were bunk beds and I slept on the top one under the fan 👍👍👍 

<December>

1) My Sleepover 

• I'll say that quite a lot of things happened in December! On the 2nd of December, my friends and I had a sleepover at my house (of course). We planned this since long ago, because we wanted to have a 'movie night'. Reserved for my classmates and I only (6 ppl) B) 

Unfortunately, one couldn't make it and two of em couldn't sleep over (but they could come for the next day). So it was just my other two friends and I. It was kinda fun XD We had smores and fruits and popcorn, and I insisted we watched the movies theyve neVER SEEN B4 like Coraline and Anastasia 

The next day my other 2 friends came, and we went outside when it was hot and sunny and we played with water balloons and the hose :DDD We also took videos with my phone in slow moe and sent pictures to my friend who didnt come XDDD and then we watched another movie my friends have never watched (Hercules -seriously they need tah get with da timmeesss 😆😆😆) We also had a friendship quiz where if you get the answer wrong the opponent gets to draw on your face with face paint (now thAT was fun😂) 

2) The Majestic Hotel 

• I can't remember exactly when whAT  happened, but we went to the Majestic in December because my mom went to see  Anuar Zain's concert. My mom also got a discount and we got a room in the grAND SUITE B)))) <3 It was on the highest floor and there was a living room and 2 bedrooms and the view was.. Not that amazing actually, but it was still pretty sweet :DDD The soap and shampoo were pretty cool; the shampoo smelled like cucumber-mint, the conditioner of watermelon, the soap of pomelo and i cant remember what the lotion smelled like.. They should have chosen better fruits to use tho TuT 

3) PRINT 2014 

• This was pretty recent, in fact i came back from it like, 2 days ago. PRINT stands for PeRkemahan INTernational. It was basically a KRS camp with lots of competitions between Indonesia, Thailand and lots of schools in Malaysia. We trained from the 8th and did a lot of Kawad and BaSeD training. It was our first time joining PRINT, so we didn't rly expect ourselves to win ^^ 

There were a lot of competitions, like orienteering, kawad, based, masakan rimba, gajet, pc kem kraf and an obsrace. We only entered kawad, BaSeD, kem kraf, pc, masakan rimba and orienteering. The only thing I didn't join was masakan rimba. It was really fun! Alhamdulillah we used a dapur instead of having to make our own fire //sighofrelief So we ate well X) All the other schools must have been told beforehand or were at PRINT before, because they were sO much more prepared than we were OTL They brought their own bamboo and a lot of water, when we foRGOT TO BRING WATER (￣▽￣') 

As I thought we didn't win anything, but we dID take a lot of pictures and it we have a lot of memories <3 Plus I'm reeaaALLYY tan now (╥ᆺ╥；)

So yeah! That's all I can remember XD Now I can focus on here and now ((finally) ) OTL 💪💪💪 I'll write more if I remember some more X) 

Assalamu'alaikum! <3 

Ciao~ 

End: 8pm 

Some things I remember now!

Date: 19th October 2014, Sunday 

Start: 11.26pm 

This'll be a quick one hopefully (´･Д･)」

Anyways, I remembered something that I forgot to talk about! 

Last last week? Idk somewhere in between September and October.. Anyways, last last week my school had a week-long semester break! My parents took us to Pulau Langkawi >w< 

It was really fun! 

First of all, I like the fact we went somewhere by plane, even if it wasn't overseas.. Going somewhere by plane just makes it feel more exciting, ya know? 

Other than that, my mom had booked the executive pool suite on the first floor! We had a private pool and the room was really pretty :D 

actually, make that 2 executive pool suites.. My mom booked one for herself and Daddy and the other one for us kids 👌 

There were a lot  of monkeys, and multiple times they came in and stoleour   food! ((It was scary, man..)) The hotel people said they were naturally aggressive >~< 

The afternoon that we came was quite sunny, and then in the evening until the second last day of our trip, it started raining! Only on the last day it was extremely sunny and warm OTL Perfect, right? Hahahha X)) At least I got to swim in the sea on the last day.. The tide was unusually high and Mommy unusually allowed to swim! It was fun actually :D

I remember that we went for a boat ride, and we saw bats and eagles and mudskippers and cool-looking islands! We also stayed a lot inside the room, which was okay since there was internet and the pool anyway lol o(｀ω´ )o

I think that's everything since I don't wNt to go into detail too much.. Goodnight!~ 

End: 11.38pm 

We got some catching up to do!

Date: 19th October 2014, Sunday 

Start: 5.55pm

Wow! Its been 2 months since my last post already? Time sure does fly lol ((I sound old 😱)) 

Hrrmm.. Argh it really is inconvenient that I don't right everything that happens straightaway! I'll try harder next time..?      -w- 

I'll start with the earliest thing I can remember.. The International Horse Show! It was held on the . Nurul and I were joining 2 dressages, Prep A and B. It may be international, but we were just representing Adni haha X) 

For two weeks (before the event), we trained morning and evening, come rain or shine, at MAEPS. If you can tell, we both missed 2 weeks of school OTL I remember training in the rain and I got totally soaked! 

We trained with students from a school called Vocational College Kajang who were also participating.. 😅 It was 2 werks of embarrassing and awkward moments (with the guys from that school.. They were Form 5 and we were Form 2 and for some reason they were so friendly! It was good and bad at te same time //sweatdrops), tiring days, new friends and lots of new experiences! 

The whole event was held at the Selangor Turf Club (STC). On the first day, not much was ready. I think it was on a Thursday, the day of my first dressage, Prep A. Skipping ahead, I got eliminated, because my horse got frightened and went out of control! It got out of the arena, and I was eliminated.. Yeah. It was a rough and depressing moment for me, because I was trying to do my best. :/ I guess that day was just not my day, huh? At least next time I'll 'know' what to expect? X) 

The next day (Friday), was a free day for me. So Kak Alia and Kak Zai (from the Vocational School) followed me to look around the place.. Which was actually really cool! There were food trucks, a rock-climbing area, booths and game booths (Like in those American fairs/carnivals!), food booths and etcetc. There were places where you could learn more about horses, and take pictures with some of them, and there was a flying fox and horse carriage rides! 

The next day, it was my next dressage, Prep B. It was held in a different place, but I don't know why. Anyway, it was better than my first dressage. My horse, Laima, still got afraid of something, but at least I still managed to continue the dressage and thankfully, the judges were nice enough to let me continue! 

I don't know if I won any prizes for my 2nd dressage because I went back early.. And I don't think I did because nobody is telling me, so yeah. (´･Д･)」

Well that's done! What else to say? 

Next week is my exams? I'm praying and studying that I'll beat my rival and get the best overall achiever award! I want people to know I can be just as good as her and not to sound vain, but maybe even better (Because some people keep choosing her over me -3- and I think its because of their biased thinking.. Or its just me?) If I finally beat N once and for all (Well, I beat her last semester.. Twice and for all?) I can show them that I am da best!! 👌

If I think of anything else then I'll write it later, so.. Bye! 

End: 6.30pm 

Today is Monday.

4th August 2014, Monday. 

Start: 8.42 PM 

I wish they made an extra week-holiday, but they didn't. //cries 

So today I had to get up and go to school ((/￣▽￣))/ 

Writing this.. Should I post everyday? Last post I felt like I should just post once a week, but then I'd probably forget a lot..

Ah, sorry-- Went to pray Isya' ^^ 

So I guess I'll just post as much as I like! Nyehehehe X3 

Well, today was kinda unenventful. The first two periods I had were missed cuz the teachers weren't in the classroom, so we just did our own thing. 

During part of that time, my friend and I fangirled a bit about this one manga I recommended to her that she also fell in love with (=ﾟωﾟ)ﾉ (Ouran Koukou Houstu Bu! Have I said that already..?) We were discussing the characters and which one was 'ours' lol XD That's what you get with fangirls ;) 

(By the way, I'm part of the Hitachiin family （≧∇≦）) 

N didn't come today, which was kinda sad (Though I'll never tell her that 💁) But it was okay, because they are my other friends too :) 

My friend asked me for advice today, which was kinda scary for me because I am TERRIBLE AT GIVING ADVICE (Or so I think :/ ) and I'm afraid I'll give bad advice (u_u) Though when I told her that she probs shouldn't come to me for advice she said that I actually give good advice and even if I don't she's more comfortable talking to me than anyone else in my class~ //sparklyeyes ^^ Aww, I'm flattered ;) 

I still don't believe her though (￣▽￣)

During PE, we had to do some exercise for this one activity, and I can't remember the name ==' But I think in summary se had to go up and down a bench (One foot up, and then go back down and repeat) in 3 minutes owo I'm pretty proud of myself for doing it 102 times in 3 min! :DDDD  

 

After that I actually had Badminton today, but I decided to miss it cuz of a bad migraine.. But at 5.20, my two friends came over to tell me the bus was about to leave and I should hurry! I was kinda touched by their gesture to come tell me, but I didnt reaaalllyy wanna go (￣▽￣) But then it would have been a waste of their time, so I decided to get ready and get to it. 

When I got to school, my two friends Q and A who were sitting on the stairs (they  are also in the Badminton club) 'scolded' me for being late. They were actually the ones who told my two other friends to come fetch me and then they waited for me!! 

 When we rushed to the place where the van should have been, it was goneeeee! T^T 

For some reason the way I'm telling it makes me sound like this is a storybook..

Anyways, I felt really bad they missed Badminton because of me! I said sorry a lot, and they said it was fine, but I still didn't feel good ;--; We ended up walking to the Netball court where the netball team was  playing and also where our Form 2 friends were to kill some time. 

I honestly wanted to go home, but I'd feel bad for making them miss Badminton and then having the nerve to leave them at school TwT 

I was mostly worried about A, because when we were younger she used to sulk a lot about these kinds of things.. But she seemed pretty okay.. With her phone and earphones (￣▽￣) 

Later the rest of the club went home early, and the only people left from the team where form 2s. At first I didn't wanna play, but Q gave me a little push and I gave in -3- 

It was fun actually! Lol some girls had to become two things at once bcuz there x enough players >< I was GA (y) 

I felt less bad after playing, bcuz I guess I felt I didn't waste A and Q's time when they were supposed to be at badminton ;--; :) 

Alhamdulillah they really weren't mad, but that doesn't mean I won't make it up to them :D 

That's all for today I think.. I gotta get some work done! 

Salam,
