Girls' Day Out

We decided to check out KSL City Mall yesterday evening. I'd seen the signboard many, many times but I didn't know where the place was exactly. I figured it wouldn't be that hard to find it.
So we set off.
At five.
Only to reach at almost seven.
Instead of taking a left at the first traffic light, I went straight all the way. Ended up reaching Sentosa Mall. Called a friend and asked for directions. Took one long ass detour. Passed the bus station in town centre, passed so many other places and only when we had gone past Thistle, did I get my bearings right again. 
Went back to the same traffic light where the signboard was, took the turn, then stopped at a car wash and asked this one guy (who so happened to be a Bangladeshi) how to get there. And we got there.
After nearly two whole hours. 



 

But it was worth it, I think. 
So many little shops in KSL selling food and trinkets and what-nots. Pretty interesting if you take the time to walk around and see what they have.
Stuffed ourselves with Subway, continued walking and then by nine thirty or so we left for JB town.






Snapped picture after picture, shamelessly,  for remembrance. 
No idea when we'll be doing something like this again, what with all our assignments and tests either pending or coming up real soon.
But yesterday was fun.
It's friends like these, aside from family, who make life worth living.
This past week has been emotionally exhausting. Everyone seems to be watching me. People at uni, people on Facebook. Everywhere. Somehow someone seems to be watching. And it's so...unnerving man. I have to be so bloody careful with the choices and decisions I make. I have to think a thousand and one times about the repercussions of one feeble act.
But there are times when I get so tired of having to think about all this and though I know what I do is wrong, I do it anyway. I can't take it sometimes. I can't be myself knowing that there are people out there watching my every move.
It's scary. It's tiring. And it simply doesn't give me any peace of mind at all.
It's no fun having to be on the sidewalk your whole life and not being able to get to the other side of the street. 
But sometimes you just have to suck it up and deal with it.
DEAL WITH IT, I SAY.

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
