A warning.

I am now crossing across the emotion border to the country of in-denial. Wish me well.

Livin' the good life!

HEY HEY HEY.

My sudden urge to blog was triggered by my two friends' recent blog posts, and so ... HERE I AM! (Oh, and hello, Ocha and Yott!) I just noticed that my blog looks downright plain for my taste, but meh, I'll redesign it later.

There are a few things that have happened in my life recently:

1. I had an amazing 3-day-getaway with my friends at Ipoh. First time in Perak, mind you.
2. I am DRIVING now. Yes, driving. And I am officially a full-licensed driver now!
3. I lost a best friend. Sort of. Long story.
4. I am having my 2-month semester break now. Ronggeng time, anyone?
5. I have put on a lot of weight.
6. My semester 4 results are coming out this coming Friday. I'm terrified.
7. I (finally) got to meet my best friend, Amira M, after one whole year of not seeing her.
8. I like air kelapa now. I remember how I used to loathe air kelapa, haha.
9. The Hunger Games changed my life. (Dramatic moment.)
10. THE PARADIGM MALL IS OPENING SOON AND IT HAS GSC AND NANDO'S OMG GOOD MOVIES AND FOOD EXISTING 5 MINUTES AWAY FROM MY HOUSE WHAT IS LIFE.

Hiok hiuk hiek hiak.

Hold on to what we have left.

I'm back! Hello again, monkey-bowl.blogspot.com.

If you're wondering why I decided to change my blog design (again), well, I wanted to change it but I didn't have any exciting ideas so I decided to leave it plain for the time being.

It's funny how my last few posts were about the last weeks of my third semester, because here I am, blogging during the last weeks of my fourth semester. Yes, time moved that fast. The fourth semester of my diploma turned out to be rather nerve-wrecking and special at the same time. Nerve-wrecking because our assignment load doubled horrendously, and special because of my journey of self-discovery. The journey's not over yet, mind you. I still have a lot to learn about myself, be it the good things or the bad things.

I'm not saying that I have matured or whatever, but I do know now that trust is something that you shouldn't just give to anybody. The term 'best friends forever' also does not go well with life. Don't get me wrong, I do have my close buddies to confide in and all that, but even your closest friend won't know every single thing about you. It's that 0.01% of your secrets that you'd rather keep to yourself, maybe as something to hold on to if anything goes wrong.

Everyone most probably has done some things they shouldn't have. Maybe one day, God will forgive us for our naive mistakes and we, as His creations should work harder at getting closer to him. It is difficult, I agree, but we will never know unless we try, yes?

That awkward moment when those idiots don't appreciate what you have done for them.

Scared, I am.

My first two weeks of semester the fourth was seemingly blah and rather uneventful. The lecturers are okay, some being more entertaining than others. Lots of biased lecturers this year, I must add. My economics classes are fun, due to the fact that our lecturer is an effeminate male who teaches in the most different (and effective) way. We have Journalism and Issues in Modern Malaysia this semester; both involve a lot of writing. Hopefully, my love (or so I think it's love) for putting my thoughts into words would be able to aid me in those two particular subjects. And then, it's the three amazing (and killer) subjects - graphic design, photo communication (photography) and publishing. These involve a lot of hours spent on Photoshop, brainstorming, imagination and a truckload-full of patience. 

Let's just hope this semester will be good one, yes?

Like an eagle.

During those times when I feel at my lowest, there will always be somebody there to help me fly back up again. Thank you for these amazing, beautiful people in my life, God. Thank you so, so much. It's so nice to know that You're always there to guide me even when I don't always practice your teachings as I much as I should. :) You are indeed, Great.

Those beautiful mates of mine. ♥

Like Dongkey Kong.

How are my exam results, you ask?

Better than I expected, really, seeing as I wasn't really prepared for my last semester's final examinations. I'm rather proud of myself for getting an 'A' in my News writing and Reporting subject. NOT BAD! I am rather disappointed though. I didn't get to maintain my spot in the Dean's List this time. So near, yet so far! Ah, well, what has happened has already happened. Serves me right for not studying hard enough.

And with this, I say, "BRING IT ON, SEMESTER FOUR!"

The epitome of fear.

First and foremost, I would like to wish y'all;

Happy November! 

Hopefully, November will be a better month for all of us.

I'm currently waiting patiently for a certain email to come through. What email, you ask? Well, today is the day us UiTM diploma students get our exam results! No email, so far. All I see are emails from this pregnancy website. (This stupid application my sister downloaded into my iPod. Managed to delete it, but the emails still kept pouring in. God help me.) Definitely nerve-wrecking.

I hope this email will change my life for the better. Amin.

A dream is a wish your heart makes.

I found these following pictures on the one and only Tumblr. What caught my interest was that the artist of these drawings drew the princesses (and villain) in a way that was so life-like! In other words, this is what they would look like if they were real people:

Ariel in The Little Mermaid

Aurora in Sleeping Beauty

Belle in The Beauty and the Beast

Esmeralda in The Hunchback of Notre Dame

Jasmine from Aladdin

Meg from Hercules

Ursula from The Little Mermaid

Mulan from Mulan

Pocahontas from Pocahontas

P.S. Jasmine and Pocahontas are so fcking beautiful I can't even -

P.P.S. My self-esteem just died right there. Ugh, why.
