Today, my little sister pestered me out of bed really early. At least, this time, unlike on my birthday, it was for good news.
Because I failed my semester, Mommie has been reconsidering allowing me to go to London to see Tariq. Dorah, however, persuaded Mom to let me go anyway. So I wish to thank both my younger sister and my mother. They are both very wonderful. I don't deserve them, most of the time, but I've been very blessed indeed.
Now, I would like to thank my elder sister too, for providing my living space in London, except she still hasn't e-mailed me anything concrete. At this rate, I have permission to go, but no place to go to! And for those of different morals from my family, no, I won't stay with Tariq. I'm female and not of his family.
I cleaned up my bedroom and the living room, then Mommy, Dorah and I ate tuna sandwiches in the TV room for lunch.
Today, Dorah took me to see Lord of the Rings. It was definitely excellent. It was nice to see Elijah Wood in action again. Hopefully now that he's free from LotR, he'll show up in other movies. I liked everything. I have no complaints. I was just amazed by how the hobbits didn't trip over their own feet.
I'd like to make an announcement, however. Those girls who have crushes on Legolas are just attempting to satisfy their homosexual needs. He is soo girly in the movie! Wispy too.
More exciting than LotR, is that I saw the Spider-Man trailer! The full Spider-Man trailer is out! I was so excited. But I'm so disturbed that Dunst plays MJ Watson. She's so not MJ to me.
We got home just in time, because soon after, Kak Pui Ling arrived! She was our neighbour downstairs, but she and her husband, Abang Shaini a.k.a. Mr Shiny, moved a few years ago. We ate sweet-and-sour fish and this box of chocolates that Kak Pui Ling bought. Yum.
Then I yakked online with Tariq. His mother got my Eid card! She said it's nice! I'm so pleased. Yay. Okay, that sounds pathetic. Well, never mind. If you think it's pathetic, then you're pathetic. Yes.

Argh. There was something wrong with my father's cell-phone, so mother tied up the apartment phone all night trying to call him or wait for him to call her, and I was not allowed to go online until now! And my boyfriend has gone to sleep and I can't talk to him anymore! I am not pleased.
Other than that, I started doing the Core exercises last night. I have only done them twice, but let me tell you what a difference they have made. The tension and aches of my shoulders are completely gone, and my posture has never ever been better. I feel all springy and bouncey too, and not at all lethargic. It's fantastic. I can't wait to see how I feel after a week! All it takes is fifteen minutes each day. I'm so impressed.
Tonight, Mommy took Dorah and I to Serendipity. That's a restaurant reknowned for its desserts. I had this seriously chocolate cake with ice cream. It was heaven. I think if I ever need more sugar/chocolate rush, I'm going to go there again....

I didn't do much today. I stared at the TV.
I haven't watched the TV for more than an hour in a very very long time. It was interesting. But no longer something I wanna do on daily basis.
So many people e-mailed me for my birthday. I'm so pleased. It's so nice that people care about me. I hope I'm worthy of all this caring.
Today, online, I talked to Adeline! She's this girl that went to Sri Aman Girls' Secondary School with me. She's one year older. We used to talk a lot. Then she stopped talking to me, the miserable person. So now, I have found her once again. We shall talk. I will make her talk. Or I will stalk her.

It is the end of my Twenty-First Birth Day. Sigh. I am very very sleepy, but loads happened today, and I must tell it.
After a very restless night, the world gave me its birthday present to me. We have finally learnt that I failed all my subjects this past semester. Oh dear. Second time.
Mommy didn't shout and scream at me, however, which I think was a very very nice present. It's somewhat of an understatement when I say that I don't like it when Mom shouts and screams.
Anyway, I couldn't sleep after that, and went online. I got to talk to Tariq, Yu San and Fabian! They were all very wonderful. Thank you, people. I e-mailed back everybody who wished me a happy birthday, and also wrote my new year's/birthday's resolution to my family.
Aerobics three times a week.
Two distinctions each semester and no more fails.
Moving of speed-driving to the category shared by cigarette-smoking, Just Not Done.
After that, I ate and read my new book, The Core Program by Peggy W. Brill. It came by post, ordered from my book club, One Spirit. It is cool. I have decided to add the Core every day to my three times a week aerobics.
I took a little nap, I bathed, I got dressed, and went to check the weather online, to find the Brat, wishing me a happy birthday. She is nice. I like Dorah.
Then I rushed to meet Mommy at Lincoln Center's Barnes & Noble. I was afraid I would be late, talking to Dorah. Thankfully, Mom wasn't there. I picked up a book and got so absorbed, when I next looked at my watch, it was already seven o'clock. Mom said we meet at 6:15 or 6:30. I was really worried. Went running round looking for her. Luckily bumped into her on the first floor. Since we were short of time, we snacked at the B&N Cafe.
Contact is awesome. I loved it completely. I wish I could swing dance. I wish Tariq could swing dance. Maybe I'll drag him to a class or two someday....
After that, we went to Ollie's, a chinese restaurant. We had shrimp fried rice and roast duck. Yum. Then we went home, and I am so very sleepy. But despite the beginning, I think it wasn't so bad....

Today, I went to buy two tickets to see Contact. Mommy and I are going to go and see tomorrow night, which is my birthday. Though it's apparently already my birthday in Malaysia, over here, it isn't my birthday yet.
I'm turning twenty-one. Feels strange. In one sense, like nothing's changed, because nothing really has, but in another, quite empowering, because I'm officially my own person, and parents are seriously no longer obligated to support me and can dump me on my ass as they please.
Okay, that might not be all that empowering....

Annoucement! Announcement!
My mommy wrote this (with some punctuation editing--lots, actually):
Hani turns 21 in 2 days. Imagine that. She'll be 21 going on 12.......... (I swear to you that's what her mental age is). But she has improved a lot. She doesn't argue unnecessarily any more, she does the washing and she makes good tea. However her room is still ................. Drives me crazy. What is worst is that Adik has decided to join her!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I was thinking I was mentally three. But hey! Opinions differ. Thank you for the praise, Mommy.
Mom's nagging me to go offline because she wants to play with e-Bay. Honestly, ever since that woman was taught how to go on the Internet....
Well, anyway, today snowed. I tested my nice new coat on the snow, and I say it ran great all the way! Then again, I only exposed myself for one minute....
I went to Barnes & Noble. Tried to get the Pendragon book I mentioned yesterday, but it was nowhere to be found. I read other romance novels instead.
When I went online today, Tan was online too! We talked. It was fun. He told me Yu San wants him to meet Tariq. Yu San hasn't told me that. I can't see the reason why.... He refused to tell me the Love Story of Yu San and the Tie-Shirt Master. Says I must wait until Yu San tells it to me. Bah. I should have black-mailed him and told him I'll never lend him my Cashflow boardgame. I'm too honest and direct, I am.
Tariq is wonderful. I adore Tariq. He's better than all you males out there! Except Batman, of course.

NOSE
by HANI Selamat
My nose is falling off
I can feel it
I can nearly see it
My nose is coming off Don't tell me
otherwise
Such words are all lies
My nose is falling off My nose hasn't
fallen yet
I've been waiting and waiting
It's still there just hanging
My nose hasn't come off yet I couldn't
wait
It got too late
So I cut my own nose off
