January 2nd 2013

The past week has been...good. There's really no other adjective I'd use to describe it. 
Was good to be back home with the family again. Good to be home for Christmas and New Year. Good to be back in the comfort and warmth of my room. Good to hold both the dogs, take them for walks and let them lick my face again. Good to have home-cooked food again. Good to catch up with our family friends and my own friends again.
It was really good.
Went to this really cute place that's just recently opened back in town. Burps & Giggles by the same owners of Indulgence. 
When you see it from the outside you'd think it's some trashy old place that probably isn't all that good but when you step inside. Man that's when you see what it's really like. Nooks and crannies everywhere. Small little rooms like holes in the wall. Quaint little place. Really different.
Quite pricey to be honest. Our burgers were RM18 each. The chocolate drink was RM15. Mango and passion fruit drink was RM8. And the chunky fries with cheese was RM4.
Everything was very fresh though. Worth every penny so that wasn't an issue.


 Chunky fries with cheese.
 Chocolate-Mello; thick Van Houten chocolate drink with marshmallows.
 Mango Passion; mango and passion fruit drink. 
 Our Greeko burgers.
 The bar area.
 Desserts, drinks & ice cream.
 The entrance.
Looking forward to going back there again in Feb to try out their tapas.
 Been traveling for nearly twelve hours today. So dead tired. Took the 11.00am train to KL Central. Reached at around 1.30pm. Took a cab to the Subang airport and waited there for about three hours to board the flight to JB at 5.10pm. Reached Senai at around 6.00pm but we didn't disembark until about half an hour later coz of the heavy rain. 
Met up with some people straight from the airport and only got back at around 10.30pm.
Still cleaning up the place a little before bed. 
Splitting headache since this morning. Temples. Gah.
Lots of plans for the weekend. Can't wait >:)
The new year seems to have started off pretty well.
Here's to brand new beginnings and brand new memories.
Cheers, guys!

Table Topics: Judgement & Understanding

Took one of my classmates out today coz she needed to get some things. She's been through a lot. Nothing I will disclose here but we had a pretty long chat in the car once we got back. And it's really true what they say about never judging someone before getting to know them. She opened up to me about everything that was going on. How she felt about things. How she was dealing with things. And at the end of the day it all boils down to understanding. There's a reason behind the things people do. It's simply a matter of accepting that reason and understanding them for it and them helping them get through it. You hear stories about married couples going through a divorce. It's really not an option anyone should think about after marriage. After all it's for better or for worse, right? But what if sometimes it becomes too much to bear? What if sometimes things get impossible to handle? What if that's the reason divorces happen in the first plac

To Date.

I've recently been nominated for the Liebster Blog Award thanks to a friend of mine I've only known via Facebook for some years now. The blog post for that is still being drafted. I've been posed some pretty tricky questions /;) Haven't been blogging as frequently as I used to coz I didn't bring my laptop back home this time round. Didn't think I'd have much use for it. Things have been a little...crazy here to say the least. I'm actually twenty-one now. Though I must say, the word 'freedom' was never synonymous with this age. All I ever related to this milestone was responsibility. Funny. It's been such a rollercoaster ride of emotions. I could never completely describe it. I've been thinking about how I've celebrated my birthdays all these years. Two birthdays I celebrated away from home. My eighteenth, which was in the UK with Aunty M and Uncle T, and my twentieth, which was in Johor with my classmates and a once

Dubai

Dubai was actually a layover. Since I have friends there I decided to spend a few days with them before flying out to London.  I took Emirates to and from Dubai & the UK & it was great. The unlimited wine was a major plus :P Only spent about 3 days in Dubai so I saw only a few of the major must-see spots.  My friend picked me up from the airport & we went to her place first. It was about 20 minutes away. More depending on traffic. Roads are very broad and each side has 6 lanes with a minimum of 3 on average. You see a lot of SUVs there. There's a lot of American influence. The UAE doesn't have their own national car.  It felt a lot like being in KL at first. Only after a while I started taking in the difference. Plenty of skyscrapers everywhere. But unlike KL, buildings here are built much closer together. & there is a LOT of development going on, still.  After washing up at home, we headed out to the Burj. The entrance is within the Dubai Mal
