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.

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 ...
