Weekend Escape

Spent the weekend in KL.
Cousin's wedding reception in the evening. Decided to try curls for a change instead of always having my hair blow-dried straight.
And I have to say (please excuse me for sounding vain) I felt pretty hot.
:3
Wondering now if I should consider perming it like this for a while and then relaxing it again OR if I should just get it curled temporarily again whenever I feel like it.
Decisions, decisions.
 Stayed at the Grand Seasons Hotel which was quite close the where the dinner was.
Was so-so. 
But the view from our room was rather nice.
 Took this one yesterday at around 7.20 in the evening.
And this one at around noon today.
Went to Mid Valley and The Gardens just before coming back.
It's amazing how nice hair can get you attention, seriously. In the lift as we were going down to the lobby there was this Indian dude who looked North Indian or something (a little on the chubby side but not bad. Heh.) The whole lift was like a mirror-ed box so wherever you turned and looked you'd see someone's reflection and every single time I caught his eye he was looking right at me. Flattering, unnerving. The last time this happened was I think during tuition class around 10 years ago lmao.
And then at the mall as I was walking to the ladies; you know how most places have both the men's and women's washrooms next to each other? So yeah as I was walking in, this dude was walking out and he deliberately walked closely past and went, "Hey" with a lift of his eyebrow. Took me about 5 seconds to realize what actually happened before my face broke into a smile lol.
Saw a really, really nice pair of shoes by at Melissa + Karl Lagerfeld (The same brand Kelly Osbourne's ice cream pumps are from). Shiny grey flats. Perfect for any outfit. Gargh I wish my wallet never ran out of money.
Got a couple of graffiti printT-shirts and my China Blue body mist and body cream from Marks & Spencer (which was probably the highlight of today's so-called shopping spree) and we had a bite to eat at Chili's before heading back. 
I have 6 days left here at home. 6 days left to sleep as much as I want. 6 days left to read as much as I can. And 6 days left to watch as much as I can on TV.
The only thing I'm looking forward to when I go back is the fact that I'll be going for the Comedy Court show just before classes start again on the 17th.
Ah well.

All good things come to an end, no?
So yes.
That's about all for the moment.


More soon.
:)

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
