Christmas :)

I've never been back home so close to Christmas before so it really didn't feel like it this year.
Until this morning.
Well last night. When we opened our presents. 
Heh.
Went for service this morning. Saw SOO many familiar faces. Aunties and uncles I haven't seen in bloody ages.
All the little babies I saw as a child myself are now teenagers sporting funky hair-do's and sporty outfits and short skirts and make-up. My goodness how they've all grown. How church has grown! Easily over a couple thousand people today for our English service alone. Place was packed! Really, really lovely to see all those people there. Still remember how it used to be when I was way younger. How things have changed! 
Went over to the new house to check on things. My new room is coming along nicely. By the time I'm back for my birthday next year, most of it would be done already. Wooden flooring and cupboards will be in. Wallpaper would have been put up. Looking forward to moving in next year :)
Went to Jusco with dad for a while to exchange something and ended up getting a very short pair of grey bermudas. Never actually worn something that short out of the house before but they'd go well with my Converse so am planning to try it out when I get back to JB.
Hmmm.
Had a number of people over for dinner tonight.
Caught up with Sheetal after more than a year. Twas awesome to see her again :)
Took a couple of pictures to remember. This will be our last Christmas in this house. Still hasn't sunken in yet though.
 This was just before everyone moved from the hall into the dining area.
 The patio at the back.
 Mom's handiwork on the banister.
 We got this huge box of Famous Amos cookies. All mine >:)

So many tops this year. Pretty ones, at long last. My hunt for outfits for fancy dinners has come to an end.
My Esprit handbag. FINALLY. *Beams*
Dad's gift. To be banked in as soon as possible but the Swedish House Mafia concert is coming up really soon in KL. Temptationssssssss.
Decided to go traditional this evening. Wore this with black churidar pants.
Now tell me. What traditional outfit is complete without bangles.
I think we had a wonderful Christmas this year.
Spent it at home. Just the way I like it.
Hoping for a smashing new year.

It's Dr., Now!

It's been 10 days since my final professional exam & announcement of my results. I'm a doctor. & though I've been studying my entire life to reach this stage it still feels so surreal. It still feels like I need to head back south to continue with classes. Like I'm still on some semester break that is going to come to an end. Every so often throughout my day it hits me; I don't have to study anymore - for now at least. But then this though gets clouded over by other things & I forget. I have to constantly keep reminding myself that I've made it. I've actually, finally made it this far. As daunting as this whole new chapter - that's about to begin - is, part of me is excited to start. I'm excited to see where my future takes me, not only in which field of medicine I decide to pursue but also to which place. Big cities are out of the question for me. I realized, over the past couple of days, that since I've left th...

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 th...

Damn Son

"Before you let a man sweep you off your feet, come here lemme talk to you.  Before you let a man sweep you off your feet, be sure he is prepared to catch you when you fall. You might be too much woman for him.You might be too independent. Too smart. Too much of a catch. He may not be ready for the weight of how beautiful you are. How gorgeous you are. How strong you are. He may not be ready yet. You, have to be prepared...to be yourself regardless of if he can carry you or not. So it's important for you to know his past. His attributes. His strengths. If he's prepared to handle how beautiful you are. How gorgeous, how so awesome you are. So, I'm here to tell you...that it's super important for you to take your time. Don't just listen to sweet nothings. Don't listen to words, watch actions. Because you're too fragile to be dropped.  Your heart is way too valuable to be mishandled.  And your brain don't need a bruise. So before ...
