An Artistic Journey

A very happy belated birthday to my dear best friend, Wani who turned 22 on 4th of November 2008

No, I did not forget her birthday nor did I missed it. I’m just wishing her now on my blog because I’m only updating it now.

**WARNING: Long post ahead with lots and I do mean LOTS of pictures! Only proceed if you’re willing to be bored by them *grins* **

On Saturday, I texted her boyfriend asking him whether he’s planned anything at all for her birthday.

So together with Ezzat (the bf), Zana (her good friend from Poly) and me we planned a surprised birthday bash for my dearest BFF of 10 years to be held at T.G.I.F Johor Bahru @ JOTIC. Quite surprisingly, both the bf and me had the same idea of celebrating her birthday at TGIF.

Thanks to Totin for her information about TGIF. Apparently I wouldn’t have needed it because the moment we stepped into TGIF holding a box of cake, the waiter immediately asked us if we’re having a birthday celebration and that he would take care of it. A very, very good service indeed.

So the story goes like this…

Sharp at 12 AM 4^th of November my alarm started going off reminding me of my BFF’s birthday and I decided not to wish her happy birthday as part of the surprised. The plan was that I was supposed to go out at 8.30 PM that night and pick up Zana along the way to TGIF.

But at 8.30 PM - I was not ready yet and Ezzat was already harassing me to get out quickly as he was afraid if he stalled she would realised that something’s up. I told him to do whatever it takes to stall because I need more time.

8.45 PM - (A record made: I managed to put on a full make up for 15 minutes only) I got out of the house and rushed to pick up Zana first (Thank God her house was on the way to TGIF). I hit about almost every humps on the road because I was rushing and didn’t see the damn humps because the road was dark. Damn you, MBJB. Put more lights on the roads please la wei!

8.55 PM - Ezzat called asking me about my whereabouts and I told him I’m almost reaching Bukit Saujana (where Zana lived. Also where I used to live) and thank God my BFF have just arrived to pick him.

9.10 PM - We were already seated at the non-smoking section and then we ordered some drinks while waiting for the couple to arrive.

9.20 PM - Ezzat arrived alone and we were like… “Why are you alone?? Where’s the birthday girl??”

Ah, finally, a brand new theme!

God knows how long has it been since I last changed my theme.

I’m very fussy when it comes to themes.

Most of it just doesn’t work right sometimes.

If only I knew CSS I would’ve designed it myself no doubt about that.

But I don’t and I don’t have the budget to hire anyone to design one for me so free wordpress themes are the way to go.

Anyways, I like this new theme.

It’s very cheerful and colourful (Though not so much. But less is more, right?) And most importantly it’s clean and not so boring.

Although I just wished that there was a tab menu for the links since I don’t think people will notice the navigation links like that. I don’t know, maybe they will but I would prefer it to be tabbed on a menu so that it will stand out. Oh well, I can’t have it all like the way I wanted to. This is a free theme. So, live with it, Nanie!

While I’m searching for themes, I noticed that a vast majority of the theme colours are in blue or shades of blue which is really annoying since my previous theme was blue and I’m not really a fan of that colour (I think blue is pretty much overrated in the cyberspace) so it was kind of hard to find the ones that really catches my eyes. I mean, not that I don’t like blue coloured themes at all… There were some that were able to sort of impress me, but since I would prefer it if it’s not blue, I usually skipped it altogether.

So, I’ve edited my Contact page and my Wishlist page. You can have a look if you’d like to

So anyway, that’s it for now.

My brain is shutting down on me that I can’t even get one sentence right.

I guess it has finally reached its limits.

Oh well…

Toodloo!

After all you put me through

You’d think I’d despise you

But in the end…

I wanna thank you ’cause you made me that much stronger

p

Well I thought I knew you, thinkin’ that you were true

Guess I, I couldn’t trust

Call your bluff

Time is up

‘Cause I’ve had enough

You were there by my side, always down for the ride

But your joy ride just came down in flames

‘Cause your greed sold me out of shame, mhm

p

After all of the stealing and cheating

You probably think that I hold resentment for you

But uh uh, oh no, you’re wrong

‘Cause if it wasn’t for all that you tried to do,

I wouldn’t know

Just how capable

I am to pull through

So I wanna say thank you

p

‘Cause it

Makes me that much stronger

Makes me work a little bit harder

Makes me that much wiser

So thanks for making me a fighter

Made me learn a little bit faster

Made my skin a little bit thicker

Makes me that much smarter

So thanks for making me a fighter

p

Never saw it coming, all of your backstabbing

Just so you could cash in on a good thing before I’d realize your game

I heard you’re goin’ round playin’, the victim now

But don’t even begin feeling I’m the one to blame

‘Cause you dug your own grave

p

After all of the fights and the lies ’cause you’re wanting to haunt me

But that won’t work anymore, no more, no no

It’s over

‘Cause if it wasn’t for all of your torture

I wouldn’t know how to be this way now and never back down

So I wanna say thank you

p

‘Cause it

Makes me that much stronger

Makes me work a little bit harder

It makes me that much wiser

So thanks for making me a fighter

Made me learn a little bit faster

Made my skin a little bit thicker

Makes me that much smarter

So thanks for making me a fighter

p

How could this man I thought I knew

Turn out to be unjust so cruel?

Could only see the good in you

Pretended to not to see the truth

You tried to hide your lies, disguise yourself

Through living in denial

But in the end you’ll see

YOU WON’T STOP ME!!

p

I am a fighter and I

I ain’t goin’ stop

There is no turning back

I’ve had ENOUGH

p

Makes me that much stronger

Makes me work a little bit harder

It makes me that much wiser

So thanks for making me a fighter

Made me learn a little bit faster

Made my skin a little bit thicker

Makes me that much smarter

So thanks for making me a fighter

p

Thought I would forget, but I

I remember…

Cause I remember

I remember!

I was rummaging through my playlist for songs to build up my spirit so that at least I would get worked up and tired and finally go to sleep. Haha.

And I found Christina’s Aguilera Fighter

Anyways, I liked the lyrics: Girl power mode anyone?

These kinds of lyrics’ are always good when you’re feeling down and stuff. It gets you worked up a little and gets your ego going on a little. No?

Well, just thought I’d share it with my readers.

I’m a sucker for music. So I like to put out my “currently playing” on my playlist. If you have been following my blog, you’d notice.

Anyway, it’s 5:24 AM and why in God’s name am I still up?

It’s been like this like since the fasting month. My body clock is turning upside down.

*sigh*

Okay, so it’s kinda my fault that I’m always sleeping late. But the connection is always so fast at this time of the day. Or morning?

Anyways, papa’s been checking up on me for every 2 hours now and been scolding me to get some sleep (geez, I’m 22 dad! Or at least I’m about to be)

No need to get so worked up on me not sleeping.

It’s not like I can do much if I’m awake during daytime anyway.

I’d rather sleep.

And dream about being with my Edward Cullen (currently have finished reading Eclipse, the third book)

Ha!

I wonder why Edward Cullen reminds me so much of Mr Akib?

Maybe it’s just the way he loves Bella I guess… It’s kinda like the way Mr Akib loves me

That said, I’d rather sleep and dream of him instead.

My soulmate. My dream guy. My everything.

Aw, I miss him so much already now I’m back here and he’s there

I’ll call him in the morning, or late noon for that matter.

Ok, I’m rambling of stupid, stupid things.

Proof that I need to tuck in like immediately now.

Toodles!
