#Z

Here we go, after 7 months of prolonging this agenda I'm finally at the last alphabet but of course, I skipped one, just because. Last night, the name Zayn Malik came to mind and I thought, 'Hey this boy is too good looking, God created his face so perfectly that I think he deserves a post' but then I spelled his name wrongly, Zayn Malek and then within minutes, I got slammed by the Directioners. Kahkahkah! But seriously, he is so handsome, too handsome with his chiseled jaw, symmetrically shaven sideburns, black thick nice eyebrows, oh I can go on and on but the thing is, he is too good looking, that he dares not look into his fan's eyes knowing that they will melt upon seeing him. Urm, very considerate. One girl fainted when he touched her hand at a meet and greet session in the States. Seriosusly, go youtube it. (Zayn Malik girl faint) Crazy, but probably I'll faint too if Ashton Kutcher touches my hand, or maybe I'll faint right at 'Hi'. 

Who wouldn't faint when this guy touches you? Hahaha and this is not even a good picture of him and yet, he looks so good. Haih. But I'll drop dead if I see this one. 

                                                                             Hi ;')

Now, this post is actually about something else lah. #Z is about zoo. A place that I bet everyone has been to but I have not. Evidently, it is because of my lack of interest towards animals but now that I am older, I do feel like I missed out a bit during my childhood. If I were to list out to the animal places that I have been, its quite acceptable. I've been to the mini zoo in Melaka where it has crocodile and some other reptiles. I've seen Orang Utan when I was in Kuching. I've been to Sea World in Houston. If I were to accumulate my experience, probably I've (almost) been to a zoo and not to forget, my house with 8 cats at all times but I have not been to a proper zoo. 

My friends promised me that they'll take me there one day but do I really want to go there? Hahaha or am I just going there for the sake of 'Yes, I've been there, done that!' Urm, actually. Yes. One day, I have to go to the zoo and I hope it won't be until the day where I'll be taking my own kids to the zoo and they'll ask me, "Mama tu binatang apa?" "Taktau la sayang, Mama pon first time datang sini" LOL! Noooooooob! 

                      That's me trying to kiss a fish. No fish came near me. Mission aborted. Haha. 

Lately, I've been going to the local attractions in KL. Probably because I know I can't go abroad for a long time, anymore, might as well make use of what is here. Hihihi. Since my exam was done by the 20th of June, I was free like a bird after that. So, I googled 'Things to do in KL' and a few suggestions came out. For instance, one should visit : 

1. The Petrosains.

Checked.

 2. I-city in Shah Alam. 

Checked.

(The Istana is open to public now and it's free. Do pay them a visit and you'll see why Malaysia needs a new Istana ;P )

4. Menara KL 

Half-checked.
(We actually went to Menara KL but the price to go up the tower was quite pricey , RM 60 bucks with the 3D rides or something. We were not prepared for it! So, we ditched the tower, took a picture with a pony and went to Sungai Wang instead hehe!)

5. Dataran Merdeka 

Half-checked
(I didn't go down and run freely at the Dataran itself,  we just passed by)

6. Putrajaya, of course.

3. ZOO NEGARA. 

4. Central Market.

5. Setia Alam City Mall (Lame, I know haha ) but they said it looks like Westfield. I looove Westfield.

6. Lake Garden.

That's all for now? I bet you guys are questioning why am I doing this? You know why? I've got all the free time in the world now. I'm free 6 days a week and my class is on a Sunday. Wasalam!

Turning 23 years old soon and my mother still buys me pyjama pants, I should be thankful aren't I? Normally, I would have picked a more serious design and my sister gets a funky ones, to match our personalities (puke rainbows) but this time around, I decided that we should get the same pattern but of course, different sizes. Huh! One of the things in life that are planned, but what about those that happen coincidentally? Are there such things? Of course there are but how far can we see one thing, event, moment or thought as a coincidence and not a sign? Too much coincidences have made me a very confused and puzzled kid. Too much interpretations of it made me seemed like a girl who lives in her own self-made fantasy. Live moderately with an average amount of fantasies and dreams, I have tried and frankly, its a bit boh oh ring but its doable. But sometimes, just sometimes, when those coincidences or in other words, something that you did not plan to happen, happened right in front of your bare eyes, you can't help it but to take it as a sign from the universe. If only I have the courage to use real life examples here, I don't. So right now, in this limited amount of cyber space given, I shall just leave an abstract thought, for the concrete ones need to gather its courage for it to have its own post. InsyaAllah, some day. Salam Nisfu Syaaban ;)

#Y

One of those nights where I feel the need to create a line or two, be it right or wrong. Weather seems so chilly these past two days, the air-con controller can be chucked aside, comforter seems like the best hiding place. Strolling around town with the windows down, one might have thought we're in London for a second, especially when the car passed by the mini I-City in front of Masjid Zahir. Life seems so easy in Alor Setar but literally, it is easy. 

Growing up, I have always had both my parents at home, all the time. Since both of my parents are academicians, its rare for them to be working at night. So basically, they are at home by 4pm. During my primary years, my siblings and I took the bus to go to school and when we entered into our secondary schools, my mother will send us to school and my father will pick us up, occasionally but mostly, my mother will pick us up. In the evening, we will be sent for our Quran classes, every single day and at night, time will be spent at the tuition centers. In between, we will go for swimming lessons, movies, hang outs and more. 

It was not easy but it is sufficient for my growing up needs. From what I remembered, I had great memories because my parents were always around to teach me how to read when I was 4 years old, to wash my plates when I was 5 years old, to sweep the floor when I was 6 years old, to take care of my little sister when I was 7 years old, to lock the house when I was 8 years old, to start praying properly when I was 9 years old, to start fasting when I was 10 years old, to play badminton when I was 11 years old, to study hard when I was 12 years old, to behave when I was 13 years old, to not follow the wrong set of friends when I was 14 years old, to not get attached to a boy when I was 15 years old, to not go against your own parents when I was 16 years old and to choose the right path for my career at 17 years old. 

Those are some of the things that I can remember vividly. Mom has always asked me to be careful when it comes to mingling with boys, extra reminder to not be attached to a guy at a very young age and every time I am close to a guy, those words will come banging in my head. Yes Mom. I wish my parents would have told me the significance of praying daily, rather than asking us to do so and punishing us with a belt when we did not because to understand something and to do it seems more reasonable rather than to do it without knowing why. Its those little things that get stuck in your head, for a longer time. Of course, now we all know why.

A normal conversation between my friends and I will always stumble upon whether do we want to settle in Kedah for good when the right time comes? To be honest, I do but with all these visions and missions(WOW!) that I have in life, it seems unfair for me to discount them when I make those decisions. At the end of the day, it is my life but I want to be able to be there for my future kids later, just how my parents have always been there for me through thick and thin, throughout my stupidest decisions and the wise ones. 

Conclusion of this post is... Haha.. I wish I could just stay here because life is simple here but there's nothing much to be offered here other than the food is much more cheaper here, houses are of course, cheaper, but at the end of the day, it is your life, your say. Pretty much, you have to choose the life that will make you happy or at least, not miserable. If you're happy single, so be it. If you're happy being a workaholic, then be it. If you're happy going out with a married guy, so be it. If you're happy with 10 kids, so be it. If you're happy riding a motorcycle, then be it. 

It's 1.25am, I am still deciding whether I should perform that endoscopy procedure or not. Honestly, life here feels right.
