Hello Again!

Crazy, crazy, crazy schedule these past few weeks.
Can't remember the last time I went this long without blogging.
Was positively itching to write a post on the recent general elections that went down early this month but simply didn't get the time thanks to our exams being postponed again and again.
See, I was never into politics. Never have been and thought I never would be.
Until I sat in front of my laptop from seven in the evening right up to two in the morning following whatever news feeds, websites, videos and news channels I could find online on the fifth of May.
And to see how they lied and cheated their way to victory was disgusting.
Earth Hour in the middle of counting votes? Are you f***ing kidding me -.-
Phantom votes. Fraud.
And to actually have the cheek to say that everything was fair and transparent?
Bloody hell.
We were warned about a mass media blackout and true enough that's what actually happened. 

So many different websites giving different information as to what was going on, national news stations failing to provide proper updates; how many seats the National Front had taken and how many seats the opposition had taken. None of the sites had information that tallied. None at all. How frustrating it was to follow. Facebook newsfeed was flooded with posts, pictures, statuses about rants and raves about how dissatisfied, how angry, how disappointed people were with the way things were done. 
I mean seriously. Do they think we're that stupid, that oblivious to actual facts?
At around nine o'clock, Anwar announced on Twitter that the opposition had won. I was following all his tweets, together with Lim Kit Siang, Rafizi Ramli, Lim Guan Eng and the rest of the lot.

Everyone was changing their profile pictures to black in protest of what was happening. 
Waiting to find out what happens when all this is taken to court. I see tweets by Rafizi, Anwar and Nurul Izzah every day updating us on what's happening. 
Anwar's speech in Kelana Jaya was fantastic. Was following it on Youtube and for the first time ever, I actually had tears in my eyes when I heard the crowd sing our national anthem. How united everyone was. How united everyone has become!
I really hope there is change for the better by the end of the month. Another five years with the current cabinet and who knows what the country would come to x_x
Politics aside.
Last Saturday was quite a blast.
Our class organized an entire day of games, events and activities for all the other students on campus.
We had a barbeque at night and a ghost house set up from scratch. It was fantastic. All those expressions on their faces when they got frightened were epic!
I played a zombie nurse, together with two other classmates and we managed to scare the crap out of everyone who came into our room.
Pretty convincing, no?
There was a witch and a wizard, a possessed girl and a priest, a vampire, a little girl crying, a monster, the Jackal, and the Crept Keeper. Even the lecturers got really scared :P
Exams are over for the moment so we're quite free this week. 

Finally! After weeks of hardly any sleep. We were all like the walking dead by the time Saturday night rolled round.
Looking forward to heading back home really soon. Will be in the new house already. Mom and dad have been busy moving and everything's set up.

Everything else has been simply amazing :)
Have a good week, guys!
More soon.
:D

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
