Well, hello there! ;)
The weather is pretty gloomy today! Rain seems like it's about to pour anytime soon, it's kinda scary. I'm supposed to watch The Hunger Games with the boyfriend today! :(
Things seem to be taking a turn for the worse. I guess I saw it coming. & I'll just have to take it in my stride.
He knows what's best for me, right?
He'll be there for me no matter what happens, right?
He won't give me anything I can't handle, right?
Right?

Hiiiiiiiiiii. Yes, feel free to scream at me for not updating in the longest time. Or I could just be talking to myself, since I'll never know who's reading anyway. I figured I should stop procrastinating & finally do a post on my KL trip. ^.^VAfter months of planning & saving, we finally went for a getaway after all! We liaised with Roam Holidays & Alhamdullilah it was pretty smooth in comparison to the other travel agent I had previously. :)
Aren't the clouds so pretty? Anyway, we met at 730 that morning & had reached LTCC at around noon. I think. The flight lasted about 40 minutes. The last flight I was on was in Secondary Three, so I was kinda jakun/scared/anxious. Hee.
Just landed at LTCC & waiting for our driver, Shauky. :)
When we reached the hotel, we were in awe cos it looked really nice! But our mood dampened shortly after. Firstly, the Front Office Staff was really unfriendly & unhelpful. She even scoffed when she saw our Singaporean passports. WTF. Secondly, we were told that we had to pay a deposit of 300RM. WTF X 2. We weren't told by our travel agency about this so imagine how pissed we were! So I guess that's just one glitch that we had with Roam. :/
We didn't take much pictures of the room when we checked in! There was one bedroom, one toilet & like another room with a coffee table & tv. I assume that's a mini dining room? So we settled down & got ready to head out for lunch. We headed to Berjaya Times Square, which was a 7 minute walk from our hotel. That's one plus point about our hotel! It's really accessible & you can walk along the whole stretch of shopping malls.
We had our first lunch in KL at Kenny Rogers. Doesn't the food look damn good? Well, it didn't taste good. At all. :( We were really disappointed with the food cos it was pretty much tasteless. In fact, it tasted like hospital food! Then the shopping began! The mall is so huge that after the second floor, my legs were already feeling tired! We also visited other shopping malls along Bukit Bintang. After we were done we had dinner at this place called Naab!
First they served us a complimentary lime-mint drink. It was super refreshing~~ I can feel the tangy feeling in my mouth as I type this!
Then our hummus came!
Atikah & I shared a Kebab with rice dish. The rice is super fluffy!
Saliza & Ain shared Briyani Rice! This is damnnnnnn good. Kinda tastes like Bryani-infused fried rice? Am I making sense? Anyway, it's just damn good. Period.
This is us shisha-ing while waiting for our food to arrive! We hung out til it was late. It started raining & flooding so we cabbed back to the hotel.
& that's the end of Day One! ^.^
I'm still contemplating on whether I should post by days or in one whole long-ass post. :/ Okay one long post it is.
That's us while we're getting ready for breakfast the next day! :)
We had our breakfast by the pool! It was pretty hazy that morning. It felt like we were in Genting! The view is pretty, but breakfast was meh. After that we headed to the Islamic Museum! We were super excited about going to the museum cos there were many good reviews about it.
We cabbed there! & the old uncle who drove us was so cute. Like Pak Mat Tempeh! We were asking him about KL & we asked him where we could go to have Subway. & he replied, "There, to your right there's the subway. Many people go there to take photos.". We were all listening intently then suddenly burst out laughing. He was pointing to a train station when were talking about the food outlet. He also asked if Goh Chok Tong was still alive & asked us to send his regards. O.o
Ta-dah, the museum guide. It's simplistic, yet detailed but pretty, just like the whole museum. ;)
See what I mean? Just look at the details on that pillar. O.O
& that's the like sunroof? Is that what it's called? It's so pretty, no?
Check out whose name is in the museum! :P
I don't wanna bore you with too many museum photos, so this is the last one of us at the museum!
Then we went for lunch! Then I think we went to different places to shop. I am pretty useless cos I can't remember where we went exactly. I think we went to Masjid India, Petaling Street, Central Market? In no particular order cos I have the worst memory ever.
Then after a bit of shopping, we went to A&W! At first, I wasn't really excited about the waffles, but when I bit into them I was like puking rainbows! It's so warm/cold/sweet/yummy. Life's simple pleasures! *insertwinningbabyphoto*
We then hung out there for awhile, just chilling & people-watching. We walked quite a distance & our pretty little feet needed the rest! ^.^
Then we did more shopping! Bought snacks, drinks, dinner & headed back to our hotel. :)
That's us after we washed up & were getting ready for dinner! The chicken rice that we got was sedapppp. Anyway, that's the mini dining room that I was talking about! So we had dinner then we all settled in bed. Guess what was on tv? A classic Hindustani movie. The girls were excited but not my kinda thing. :P
Look at our stock of instant tea, junk food & instant noodles! On our third day, we were already exhausted by all the walking & shopping. We had already planned to just chill in our room til late then head out. We woke up, ate junk food, watched tv & went back to sleep. Mehehe. The room was like being in another world; you won't know if it's day or night.
Guess where we went to then? Yes, A&W again! I kept hugging the bear on the counter & rubbing it's belly! Maklumlah, my boyfriend wasn't there with me. :P
Then we shopped again. T.T Shop shop shop until siaoooo, then it was time for early dinner! We ate at this coffee-shop along with shisha. If only they had that in Singapore. Here, it's only expensive Arabian cuisine with shisha. :/ And this shisha costed 15RM, if I remember correctly. Cheaaaap!
Then we tapau-ed Ramly burgers back for supper! The menu was like a graph thingy & we kept asking what every burger was. Hahahaha. Luckily the guy was nice & wan't annoyed. Furthermore, we were being noisy & bimbotic in front of his stall.
Finally, it's the last day of our trip!
We spent our morning trying to squeeze everything we had into our bags then we checked out! We headed to Berjaya Times Square for free Wi-Fi at Starbucks & to do some last-minute shopping. One thing about Furama, there's no free Wi-Fi which I find really annoying considering it's a 4-star hotel. Even the hotel in Batam had free wi-fi! :(
Look at the variety of cakes at KL's Starbucks. :( #jealous.
We hung out at Starbucks & played Snap til we realized we were a bit too loud. :P
Then we continued shopping again! Hahaha. Look at our faces caught off-guard. So cute! & see that plastic bag I'm carrying? That was for the boyfriend's mom. I felt super silly carrying it around macam got gold inside. It wouldn't fit in my bag & I didn't want it to spill so I carried it like that til I reached Singapore. #slenger
Somehow waiting for the plane back took really long. I was really restless or maybe I was just itching to get back home. :P
& minutes later, we're home. <3
Many thanks to my girls for the company! The trip was a getaway we all needed so badly. Thanks to Roam Holidays too. & *patsback* for managing to save enough to go on a holiday. :') & thanks to Atikah's mom for fetching Saliza & I from the airport & sending us home. Initially, I was so worried that anything bad would happen to us since we were all girls, but thank You for watching over us. I'm very thankful.
As a token of apology for not posting in a million years, here's a photo where I think Ain & I look cute. Heh. *peacesign*
Okay la, give you chance! Here's one more photo of me with a postbox. :P & we match!
I haven't blogged in so long cos I was procrastinating to write this post. Now that it's over, I am so relieved! Okay, til next time! Bye <3

I guess I finally know what my name means! All this while, all my mom told me was that it means "decoration of life" which didn't really mean much to me when I was younger. Now that I know, it means so much & it makes my name much more meaningful. Though, it's probably impossible to live up to my name. :/
But, "A rose by any other name would smell as sweet." right? Mehehe, look at me quoting Shakespeare so early in the morning. I guess my memory from Secondary 2/3(?) Literature still serves me well.
So what does your name mean? :)
On a sidenote, KL pics should be up soon! Have a good day, everyone. <3

Happy Birthday to you,
Happy Birthday to you,
Happy Birthday to Emy,
Happy Birthday to you!
We surprised this 21 year old at his doorstep at midnight! & the birthday boy was crying when he saw the lot of us! Mehehe. Then they played video games while Nurul & I talked. We then headed for supper & hung out til late. Then I went off to work!
& speaking of birthdays, it was the boyfriend's sisters birthday on the 3rd of March! We had no idea what to get her & boyfriend doesn't even know what she likes which made it impossible to get a gift. -.-
So anyway, we got her (inspired by Abeautifulmess)
that. ^ Which is a brag book from Kikki K. Okay, it's a photo album. We then got polaroid film & ta-dah! She had a small birthday party at a chalet so we got everyone to take a photo with her & include birthday wishes. It's pretty simple. But I figured it's be sweeter than like a dress or a bracelet?
& there's some shots of the inside. That is a bad photo. It looks better in real life, I swear. So we had barbeque and lotsa food. But it was pretty weird cos I only knew the boyfriend & his family, not his relatives. I was pretty much an awkward turtle, as always. :(
So anyway, both the boyfriend & I forgot our monthsary this month! Not that we celebrate it. Most to most, we just wish each other & give pecks on the cheeks cos we're cute like that. ;) Feel free to puke now. Hahaha. We were talking and just realised that it was already the third & both of us had totally forgotten. -.-"
So anyway, I'll be leaving the boy 4 days! I'll miss him. & he won't be able to fetch me from the airport when I get back. Double whammy cos I told him I wanted to do the "run towards each other to embrace" scene at the airport! HAHAHAHAHA. Just kidding. :P
Okay, KL is tomorrow. I can't believe it. I haven't packed! Okay, bye!

First & foremost, let me start this post with this sentence.
Work sucks balls.
& also this post is GIF-Heavy. Just cos I like it. *shrugs*
When I'm at work I'm like,
then like this,
Everyday, people are asking me the stupidest questions & behaving like sdndfghdnlfj. I'm like,
All I feel is,
This job is making me a very very angry & negative person. I can't even stand myself. I feel way too much & let people's horrible attitude affect me. I end up cursing & swearing whenever I have to handle difficult callers. Thank God for the mute button. But all in all, work is work. I've been here for almost a year trying to get a contract but it doesn't seem to be in my favour.
I've been trying to put up with this just to get a contract. It doesn't seem like I'm moving anywhere. I don't know if this is what I wanna do for the rest of my life. Someone please get me a job? :'(
At the age of 21, I don't even know what I like. Is that even normal? No dreams, no ambitions. I've just wanted to be happy, no matter what I'm doing, hoping things would fall into place.
That's bad for me considering Singapore is a paper-chasing city. T.T But I don't know, we'll see how it goes. Maybe I'd be given Hidayah (Guidance) or something. Shall look for jobs once I'm back from KL. ^.^ I'm not sure if I'd still be blogging tomorrow, but I'll be back from KL on Saturday night! Til then! ;)
