Write Drunk, Edit Sober

My birthday party actually happened. Which came as a pleasant surprise. I had no idea where it was gonna be. Even my little sister managed to keep all the details to herself. Was out with mom the whole day yesterday getting things ready. Door gifts, flowers, errands, hair, etc. Came home, got dressed and I followed dad to the venue. Turns out they had booked The Bistro at Impiana Hotel (formerly known as Casuarina). I think the only two words I can use to describe the whole thing are; classy and exclusive. Less than fifty guests. All of whom were very close family friends and extended family. Only three of my friends from uni came over. Everything started off well.  Went table to table saying hello to everyone. They've all seen me grow up. All of them. From the time I was in diapers, to when I was in dresses as a little girl, to my whole baggy jeans and big T phase as a teenager, to skinny jeans a fitted tops as I went to college and uni and now as an adult in a g

 This blog of mine has been nominated for the Liebster Blog Award. Honestly when I first heard about it I was completely clueless as to what it was until I read this post . Much appreciation to Snuffles Jay  who brought this my way. :) Now what exactly is this Liebster Award? "Liebster" in direct translation from German, means "dearest". Imagine being someones dearest blog :') Well there are a couple of rules that need to be followed once nominated. - Write 11 things about yourself. - Answer the 11 questions that your nominator has set for you. - Make your own questionnaire for your nominees. - Declare your nominees. - Comment on your nominees latest blog post. It really is that simple. So without further ado, here are the 11 things about me; I'm a twenty-one year old, first year medical student, studying way down south in Malaysia. I was born on the 14th of February. No that is not a date of any war. I'm pretty obsessed

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

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

4.59am on a the first Sunday of the month of February. Been studying since 9pm. Which, technically, was yesterday. Watched Parental Guidance for a while. Made me realize just how much I love mom and dad. Sure we've had rough patches in the past. But it was all with due reason. And I wouldn't be the person I am today without them.  Missing them much. Also been listening to some of the covers on Youtube done by the Glee cast. There's this one I'm completely taken by. It's Ne-yo's 'Let Me Love You' done by Jake (Jacob Artist) from the 4th season of Glee.  And his voice. Is. Amazing. I never listened to the lyrics of the song when it was on the radio before this. I never really liked it either. Only now I'm paying attention to it and it's a really lovely song. "Much as you blame yourself, you can't be blamed for the way that you feel. Had no example of a love, that was even remotely real. Let me love you,  And I
