So before I came to Grandma's I grabbed one of my dad's book called The Magic of Thinking Big. Which is all about thinking positively of yourself, having a vision, which would all help you become rich and successful and all that jazz. I thought it would be good for me to read, especially when my work-social life is not as good as it is.
As soon as I got here though, I picked up a Meg Cabot book, Every Boy's Got One. Hilarious chick lit about one NY Journal cartoonist traveling through Italy, acting as bridesmaid for her eloping friend, while fighting with said friend's hunky best man. Yeah. I'm already halfway through it, and it's not even evening yet!
I need to go to Italy. Reading about cliff-top cities and fizzy wine and melt-in your mouth pasta is giving me that itch to travel. SIGH When?! Will definitely bother F soon with my latest read! It'll be like that time when I was busy reading 50 Shades of Grey.
Sat down with Wan through an episode of Melodi. Sharifah Aini dazzled us with her recent look, if you know what I mean.
Ja asked me if I wanted touch up my hair color at this Aunty-ish salon she always go to. Told her I'm all about accompanying da boss aka my Gran today. Lazy Sunday.
She's praying her Zuhur now. Shall get back to my book!

Once again, hello
So this is how it goes. I've decided not to beat around the bush with cryptic entries, that even I won't be able to understand five years down the line.
Let's get real.
I am almost a quarter century old, and that's reaally old. Really. And I'm not getting any younger. *Dramatic pause*. A lot has happened since I stopped writing nonsensical and entered what you may call "adulthood". I got married, for instance.
Just kidding.
But I did enter the cold, heartless world of adulthood, got myself involved in some corporate mess, in a universe that is entirely different to me. After a year of being a management trainee at one of South East Asia's best media conglomerate, I am now an E3 level executive scrambling to get my wits together. It's tough, and what did I learn in college? Bacteria, viruses, psychology, and that I could be anything I want to be once I graduate.
Such is life. Never expect things to go your way, because they won't. "The world doesn't revolve around you!" my dad used to remind me. And yes Dad, you are right.
Anyway, at this juncture, there is now no turning back. Just forwards.
That being said, I do have a lot to be thankful for. My two-year relationship, for one. New friends I have made, and new-found freedom that came along with a salary.
Some things are not the same though. My aunt's passing left a sort of unspoken sadness in the family. She was such an angel. I miss you, Mak Ngah. Wan is also not feeling well these days.
I used to feel like returning back to Malaysia meant returning back to my childhood. To things as they were. But all around me life is changing rapidly, and sometimes I feel lost.
Am I doing the right things? Am I living the right way? I have made many decisions on a whim, for my own benefit. Is my happiness more important than others'? So many other questions.
Well, this is my life now. And on that note I shall end this entry, the first of many to come, for 2013.
