Weekender

It's been a rather good week to say the least.
Assignments and tests are piling up slowly but surely.
Went shopping today straight after class.
Was looking for a comfortable pair of black flats. The lace one I had previously had torn at the sides (thanks to my gigantically broad feet) and the one pair I recently brought from home seemed smaller than when I'd last used them. Walked around for easily an hour looking for a pair that would catch my eye. Finally found one in Vincci. Also lace (don't ask me why I like lace I just do). Tried on their biggest size and it fit!
Went to Mango and looked around for a pair of beige slacks. Found a pair of cargo pants. Minus the pockets. Those big, baggy, comfy pants. Grabbed a U.S. size 6, since all my other pants from there are that size, only to come back and realize that it was way too big. TOO BIG I SAY. I should have settled for the dress I saw but no. I wanted the pants.
Gah.
Removed the button and adjusted it, making it tighter at the waist and folded the bottom and stitched it up.
At least my butt isn't floating in it so I'm pretty pleased with the outcome.
Went to Harris to make use of my book vouchers.
 This year the catch is to spend 80% of the vouchers on books and only 20% on anything else. AND you have to buy at least ONE academic book.
Whatever the catch I still managed to get the books I wanted. Hardly any Julia Quinn books available this time round which was very, very disappointing. 
Only found 'Minx'. The Bridgerton series was no where in sight. 
I'd read a number of interesting quotes by Oscar Wilde in 'The Picture of Dorian Gray' so I decided to give that a go. 
Deaver's 'The Empty Chair' was only seven bucks. From thirty plus to seven bucks I thought that was a steal and since Jauhie has told me so much about it I got that too. 
The last one by Trace Anne Warren is a new one I went for. I have this thing for romantic classics.
Lace.
Romantic classics.
I'm living in the wrong era.
Had my Starbucks fix and left.
A happy child am I.
:')
Leg still hurts when I walk. Haven't stopped limping yet. Was supposed to expose it two days ago but it was too painful so instead I got it bandaged hoping it'll heal a little bit more before I take it off again.
Anyway.
Cheers to the weekend guys.
Have a good one.
:)

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
