Summer Tour !

Since there’s almost no more classes to attend, we take a tour at the Summer, a new, fresh shopping mall (the younger brother of the glamorous Spring ). I thought it would be nice to have some new accessories before heading back to the airport soon and others are just keen to have more new clothes for the upcoming Raya celebration.

The modern touch of Summer

This three-storey landmark building covers 800,000 square feet build on the mixed development of residential, commercial and education hub of Kota Samarahan, looking forward to cater over the estimated 300,000 population of the area.

The beautiful rooftop allows sunlight to shine brightly within the building

Cookies !!!

That satisfied feeling...

Apparently, the Summer is a symbol of fast economic growth within our community and it ensures that Kota Samarahan will be the second most high-profitable area after Kuching City!

Summertime Sadness~

These few days, I've asked Eddie to accompany me at home since living alone could make us feeling real psychotic sometimes. Not that he didn't visit me almost every day, but these few nights, we've been belting out tunes from Lana Del Rey, Summertime Sadness. He'll play the guitar and I'll be singing the lyrics through the guide of a downloaded minus one.

Literally, reffering to the video clip - it might be about a lesbian relationship and when one of girls died because of suicide the other one reminds their common memories. That's the easiest and the most obvious way to interpretate this great song.

But personally, I'd rather say it's about losing best friend and missing this person because we stil remember how much fun we had together.
Summertime is also holiday time and sometimes, when we don't see people for longer, they may change even if it's the last thing we want. Suicide motive and verse,

''I just wanted you to know
That baby you're the best''

...may mean that it's not our fault that we lost our best friend and we did everything to avoid it. It's like you just can't accept he changed - just don't recognize our old best friend in this person. We only remember old good days.Then the bridge:

''Think I'll miss you forever
Like the stars miss the sun in the morning sky
Late is better than never
Even if you're gone I'm gonna drive''

It's like: I will always remember all the stuff we used to do but I think we still can be friends, if you want it. 
But if not, I just will go on. But I will always miss all good times, I'll never forget you!

I just love singing. 

Who knew, when I'm ready, I'll post our cover video !!!

Mum's Nagging & Charcoal Mask

Mom called me 2 hours ago, reminding me to carefully pack my things and makes sure everything's going exactly as what she says (that's where I get my perfectionist traits from). 

Well, the least I could do now is just get the baggage out under the bed..

A few days ago, a postage arrived from Singapore. It's from my old friend from school, si Angelica- a sweet, delicate, and Ms. Perfectionist a.k.a my best friend. We used to hang at each other's house, and despite the gender difference, our parents just didn't mind. Her parents managed a shipping company back in our place and they're seriously busy, so sometimes they just wants me to stay at their house just to keep Angel company. Not that Angel didn't have any other friends-she has a lot, and a good collection of boyfriends too, but I was the one who stayed with her since we're just soo little. After SPM, her parents sent her to Singapore for study and I've to learn to let her go through a routinely dose of good tears and social networking communication.

Back to the present, Angel sent me a tube of charcoal mask. She swears that these Korean, Chinese-whatever-I don't care, product does wonders to her face and she wants me to try it out too..seriously, I've got to be careful since both of us tends to play pranks on each other since early days. (Once she put her dog's poops inside my shoes, I didn't think it was funny, and two hours later, she had to buy me a new one) .So I guess I'll have to let others try it out first. LOL

Here's some of my manyyyy best-est friends to keep me company these days ! ~

From left- Reen (brave girl with confidence), 
                      Me, (the perfectionist)
                           Safa (petite, smart, great hijabista)
               Ein (food lover, traveller, faithful companion)
                           Waddah (talkative, matured, loves shopping)

And here we got Tilly, the smart-headed one!

It's Raya !!!

No..it's not exactly Raya yet. But the whole heat is coming up and I'm not sure why I suffers homesickness nowadays. It's like like my hometown is that far, but maybe a few months studying here and living alone does has its bumps.

Tell you what~ I'm not exactly high in Raya spirit through these many years, because of some past traumatic experiences that I guess aren't that appropriate for public's view. Lol. But I'm taking these first step-even if it means just trying to have fun and let everything go :)

To be honest, Eddie's not exactly keen on the thoughts of me leaving for my hometown for a few days-what a spoilt brat, but he gotta learn that I'm teaching him to be strong inside. I guess those gruesome, brutal intensive physique training just haven't made him stronger within, either.
