Oh, hello there.

It's obvious that it's been ages since I last posted anything on my blog. Well, there are several reasons why: it's either I was doing something more important or I was occupied with something more interesting or my broadband fucked up. But I think the main contributor to this ridiculous hiatus is my laziness. I had no motivation whatsoever to blog. But I thought I'd give it a visit. It's unfair to just leave it dead. I don't want to be an owner of something inanimate, what more morbid and stagnant.

So, a lot has happened throughout my absence here. One of the most memorable occasions that happened was on 6 April 2010. It was my one year anniversary with Redhuan Malik. A simple yet beautiful occasion which was celebrated together with my lovely mum. We've been through many highs and especially lows. And yet, we came out triumphant with a lot of patience, tolerance and most importantly love towards each other. Our relationship is blessed by both families and mutual friends. And I hope the Lord blesses this wonderful relationship as well.

Next: A couple of weeks ago, Mai and Min brought back two kittens to the house. They are black as ebony! I shit you not. It's only natural to not spot them; it's because they like to sit on black-coloured bags (the irony of it) or we end up accidentally stepping on them. Small creatures, they are. But they are adorable nonetheless. And growing horizontally, at a very rapid pace like nobody's business, I give you Benny and Lilly.



But not everything was coated with cotton candy. Recently, I've witnessed a friendship that was built after three years shatter into pieces. I wasn't directly affected by it. It was a feud between my friends who happened to be best friends and we're all in the same click. I might never know what exactly happened and why it happened in such a way because there's always two sides of the story. Yet, the friendship ended for good. Feelings were hurt and emotions rampaged. On the contrary, both sides moved on which is a good thing. Things always happen for a reason. That's why I won't take sides. They are all still my friends, regardless of how ill the think of each other.

This was so random. I was rekindled with one of my favourite cartoons that I enjoyed as a child. Redhuan Malik reconnected me with Daria. The good old days are coming back to me. She is still as awesome as how I thought she was back when I was a kid. Good show.

On another note, I wished one of my friends happy birthday on Facebook a couple of days ago. I haven't seen nor talked to her for four years. I find it really amusing how some people can manage to keep a grudge for so long. She thanked me for the wish and she decided to splendidly open up to me on my wall post. Yes, it means the comment she made was very much public. I was shocked. I asked her what did I ever do to her and apparently, I said something offensive over our last phone conversation a few years back which I'm finding it an extremely hard time to recall. But then again, she could've just said it to me then. She should have known me better by just being forthcoming about it; the fact that we were in the same click for two years. I'd have to say it doesn't bother me that much. It's only human to say the wrong things at the wrong time. Depends on the person who's at the receiving end to tell it out to us or not. And she decided to tell it to me after all this while. Still, I apologized. I did feel bad about the whole thing. Glad to know that I'm not heartless.

And now, it's the exam season. My first paper is not until next Monday. The wait is so painful but who am I to complain. A short summary of what has happened. Well, the ones that I remembered, of course. All of them are quite recent, actually. Fair enough.
