Money Money Money Moooooney!

trying as much as possible to finish this work.
but at the same time glad that i got to learn something that is.. interesting.
something that i took for granted before.

havent talked bout raya..
ahaha. raya is about to end.
and this year is the least amount of time i spent celebrating it.
with not getting yet my baju raya. and visited lil number of open house(s).
raya is just not that kind of raya anymore. (well this year that is..)
lets see.. less than 10? no. 5 (open houses).
yes..
does visiting cousins and 2nd cousins count?
i guess..
the only friend's open house i went was anim's.
pathetic.
this time, the raya mood has been turned off.
as u aged, it gets less interesting.
but mayb petrol got to do with it.
it has gotten waaayy up, then went down juuuuust a little, then went down again..
the government is trying their hardest to please the ppl they fooled.
but still.
everything is getting expensive.
recession is coming. or.. its already arrived.

ahaha.. what happen from raya to recession?
money.
its all about the money.
u cant live without money.
same as u cant live without air, food, family, friends, love, internet, blogs, etc.
money IS happiness.
in order for me to write on this blog, requires a laptop, internet connection, wireless router laptop cooler, electricity.
and that entails quite a big some of money.
and im trying to learn/understand on how to expand it instead of finishing it. XD

in the future, whereby it WILL happen.
i will be sleeping on beds of money.
where at times i'd say, "i dont care how much it costs, just buy it!"

Friends?

Recent events have led me to write these thoughts.
Could also be my insecurities.


Friends.
Pal.
Buddy.
Companion.
Acquaintance.
Comrade.
Ally.
Associate.
These are the synonyms from the word "friend".

Sometimes you can’t live without them
Sometimes you just can’t stand them!
Sometimes you need them.
Sometimes you just don’t want them at all!

We become close because of time spent together.
Because of space that was provided to us.
Because of enjoying one's company.

But sometimes it can be annoying.
With one’s attitude, habits and actions.

But we still need them.
We still need their company.

What for?

To feel secure that you have something/someone to lean on?
To hate? To look down upon? To envy? Or to admire?

Backstabbing, misunderstanding, badmouthing
Are the little things I hate that maybe tagged along “friendship”
Not to say I am clean from it.
But will try hard not to succumb to it easily.

Seeing people got hurt because of friends.
Because of trusting so easily and got hurt so hard.
Losing the care and love.
Sometimes its even harder than losing a boyfriend/girlfriend.

Yes. Because of those terms:
“Friends forever”
“Friends for life”

And when these ties were broken based on misunderstanding, envious or just because.
It hurts as bad as being shot/stab at the chest for times can’t be counted.

Name calling will be one of the things happen after “the break”

Amazing how people can change when they have "allies".
Not just from good to bad,
But also from bad to good.

Friends are influences.
In life.
In making choices.

Even though one is not close.

Then what about peer pressure?
What about it?
Trying to please/impress a certain crowd.
Trying to meet their “requirements” to be associated with them?
For self-assurance of acceptance?
Then, i guess. Friends could be peer pressure?

But there ARE friendship that lasts a lifetime.
That gives one the strength to stay alive.
That gives the support they need.
To be happy.
So.. Friend is power?
Love?

I’ve seen best friends become enemies. That lastly hates each others guts.
But then there’s enemies who becomes soul mates. Who accepts one's weaknesses and strengths and compromised.
And total strangers understood one another for a cause they believed in.

The course of meeting, understanding and caring could be short.
Could take a whole life.
But if one wants the friendship to last.
One has to work for it. Nurture it. Trust it.
Or.
Not.

Then again.
What IS friend?

blissful days

Updating for the hiatus time i was in.

Got back from Shah Alam today!! ^O^/

15th October was my very last paper for degree.
after this, has to be ready for internship in december.
that night, went to red box, sunway for karaoke and tension-release.
till got no voice to sing.
but someone managed to maintain her voice throughout the night.
amazing i tell you..
AND still hyper after sending me off. i was already dreaming of my pillow..
*kudos to my BFF for being soo energetic! YAY~* XD

16th October
went to sunway pyramid (again!)
for a movie instead.
watched my favourite actor, Shia LeBouf's latest movie.
Eagle Eye.
towards the end, its kinda predictable but still.
Love this movie. and him. ;P (his 22 this year by the way. same age!)
Cant wait for transformer 2! ♥

17th was a lade back/lazy day for me.
didnt even start packing for kl.
thought to self, will do it tonight.

17th/18th late night/early morning (respectively) starts packing for kl.
nothing much. compared to my other housemates' stuff and clothes and such.. XD

18th afternoon/evening waited for mom to pick me up.
wore baju kurung thinking that we would go to an open house but..
today, the baju kurung was not fully utilized.
anyhooo..
at 4.30/5pm we started moving.
on the way home, talked bout this and that and bla bla bla..
and lastly decided to have dinner out with the family.
it has been a very long time since we went out and have dinner as a family and especially on weekends. (since kl being jam and all on weekends)

As usual, kl was jammed as ever.
thank God, with the power of attraction and optimism we managed to settle things and proceed with the plan. ^^v
"things will go well when we want it to be.."
Went to Tony Romas at Pavilion.
The route to go there was stressful if you cant control your anger.
Alhamdulillah nobody was in that kind of foul mood.
Everyone was happy.
and I was in pure bliss when my family is happy.
plus my parents were being all ♥lovey dovey♥. XD
i've never seen this in public before, at home yes (to the extend of puking) but not in public.
i was like, awwwwww... so sweet. *geram!!* XP

took lotsa pictures of the food we ordered.
will update on the photos when my sister uploads it soon.

Mom was hilarious, Dad was being funny with the peace-signs al over.
Plus thess two "berebut" to finish their sudokus first before the other while waiting for our food to come..
The starter was jusssttt nice.
The meat was amazing~~~
Umi ordered 5 bountiful (world's famous) ribs. Yes 5.
but she managed to finish only 2 and half while the rest was given to us and "tapau"-ed.
So cute the way my mom ate those ribs. Sungguh bersemangat!!! XD
(will post them soon enough! ;) the photos.)

Had a great day.
I guess, i woke up on the right side of the bed. :D
Till then, bye for now. ;)
