Tariq's parents reacted badly to the news of his cancelled ticket, and per usual, Tariq started stressing out about it, which per usual, I'm overly sensitive to.

I'm so tired tonight. Lonely. I don't know why, but tonight I deliberately forced myself into this lonely feeling. I could have gone home for dinner. Hang out with all my family. I went to read at MPH instead. I could have called somebody. Anybody. I picked up one of my stupid motivational self-help books instead.

If I'm not careful, I'm going to end up right back at square one of my depression. Or maybe not. I'm not the same person I was even a year ago.

It'll be a year in August since Tariq and I met. I love him so much. It hurts so to see him hurting. I hate it when he's hurting. I wish sometimes that it would be as easy as screaming at him that the world doesn't crumble simply because his parents said boo.

On a lighter note, I had a very nice lunch with Nina and Haz. And I played Sims again! Both my characters got promoted! I'm very proud of them. Unfortunately, Pixilated is at risk of losing two friends.

ARGH!! ARGH, ARGH, ARGH!!! I have been told the nastiest news today that my boyfriend's wonderful ticket to New York has been cancelled! Can you believe that the stupid Malaysian Airlines (MAS) cancelled my darling's ticket!! After all the trouble he went to to get his parents' permission and his new passport and visa, this is just another reason to hate MAS. So the wonderful Sime Darby agency has placed us on the Singapore Airlines waitlist. I'm crossing my fingers majorly so that we'll get it. NO MORE MAS!!! NO MORE MAS!!! NO MORE MAS!!!!

Other than that, it was a rather pointless day. Drove around in Kuala Lumpur a lot. Got lost one or two times. Have learnt more routes, but not sure if I can find them again.

Went home for dinner. Had a sad dish of egg, rice and kicap, watched Atlantis again because my eldest nephew, Afiq, wanted to watch it, but he kept saying "Takut, takut" at the weirdest moments and making me hold him. Atlantis finally finished, and I went back to the apartment to get online.

My boyfriend? Of course I saw him! I see him everyday! He was around while I did all that driving around. Enough said. Bored of blog. Bye-bye.

Bah. I got rudely awaken by Nina at 11:00a.m. screaming about her poetry being published. Some more last night tidur lambat because she had me building this blog. What is blog again?

Anyway, went back to sleep for a while, then started reading my current book, Financial Freedom 2. It's heavy stuff, and I decided that it wasn't a good idea to try to read it in three hours. Besides, it was already nearly 1p.m., so I got up and mandi-ed and went off to Mid Valley Mega Mall. I had a Hawaiian Pizza Beaver Tail for lunch. I promote Beaver Tails! Everyone should try 'em!

After my delicious beavertail, I went to MPH (the bookstore) and read a lovely little romance novel by Jude Deveraux. Can't remember the title. Just as I finished it, my boyfriend calls and asks to see me. So pathetic girlfriend goes off to his house, bringing a gift of jalapeno pretzel to him, so that he would allow me access to his computer, whereupon I played Sims.

For the interested, I made my very own characters, Prince and Pixilated Fairy, and built them a cheap little one bedroom/one bathroom house, with swimming pool. Currently, Prince is in the medical track. Pixilated was in the political track, but I inadvertantly got her fired in search for her necessary 14 friends, and now she is in the police track. I'm currently attempting to save enough money to move their bedroom upstairs so there's more room downstairs, though I think I should really just improve the front of the house. It's really quite plain right now, and I should increase it because they spend so much time there. (I don't let people I've invited to the house even enter the house. I just attack them until they're my friend and then ask them to leave. LOL)

Back to point. I went home for dinner. Watched Walt Disney's new Atlantis. Lovely. Then came back to my apartment, and got online. :)

Kuala Lumpur Standard Time

Today, I went to Tariq's for lunch. Ate pulut kuning, yum! That's a Malaysian delicacy to the foreign folks! Means "yellow sticky rice."

After that, we went to buy me a new pair of glasses. :) Check it our folks, you might see me with new glasses on-going next week! Silver, with clip-on shades! Cost RM800 (US$235.29). I'm hoping my mother won't kill me. It was the RM320 (US$84.21) frames. I could have gotten RM165 (US$43.42) frames, but they weren't clip-on and they were cheap never-last type.... Surely mother cannot blame me for investing in a good pair of glasses?

After that, Tariq and I rewarded ourselves by a visit to Kino-Kuniya, the ultimate bookstore of Kuala Lumpur City Center....

Then I scavenged dinner from family members, picked up some books, came back to my computer to chat to everybody!

Got to talk to Yu San, and Zurina, and Lilian, and Nina! And then voila, she conned me into blogs. ARGH!

History

I was born at the decent hour of 2:34p.m. at Pantai Medical Hospital. From the age of 3 to 6, I attended the kindergarten available for children of students and faculty of Universiti Malaya. My mother was then a lecturer and later the dean of the Law Department or whatever they call their departments there.

At the age of 8, we moved to the current house that most of my Malaysian friends know, in Kampung Tunku. Previously, we lived in a house provided by Universiti Malaya, which we had to move out of when Mom left UM to work in Maybank (to the foreigners, that's biggest bank in Malaysia). I lived in Kampung Tunku until the age of sixteen, attending the nearby primary school, and later, the nearest secondary school for girls.

Then Mom received the opportunity to work in United Nations. I nearly got sent to boarding school because I was a lazy, undisciplined little teenager, but mother couldn't bear to be apart from her baby girls and took both my bratty younger sister and I with her to New York. There we lived in a nice apartment in the upper east side, and my sister and I attended the United Nations International School. Lovely school. Unfortunately, having come out straight from an all-girls' school, I spent my first and a half years not talking to guys. By the time I finally got comfortable talking to guys, I was graduating. Go figure.

After that, I went to New York University. I wanted to go to Sarah Lawrence, but Mommy still didn't want her babies to go far away from her. The parents wouldn't even allow me to apply to anywhere further than that, and the only other place that accepted me was Fordham (to the foreigners, it's nearer to my apartment in New York than NYU is). I was majoring in Film & Television. It was fun. I had a subject that consisted of watching movies. Movies, movies, movies.

A year later, my sister got into Princeton (that's the #1 university to my little sister, and you'd better not disagree with her!), and I decided I didn't want to study Film anymore. To save money, Mom finally sent me back home to live with Daddy. So here I am, in my own apartment, with my own computer, my own car, my own cell phone, and my own homepage! I enrolled into Metropolitan College, attempting to get a Bachelor of Commerce from Curtin University in Australia, and that's as current as you get, and no longer history!
