The time is now 10.44 pm 44 minutes past the time i designated as my bedtime which is 10 pm to u ppl who cant count :p
Why? Tomorrow I have to wake up at 3 AM To catch a taxi at 4.15 AM for my flight at 6.40 AM
I know, its beyond tolerable What sane people would be awake at such time
The good news is, I'll reach Paris at 9.25 am and get to spend the WHOLE day in that city I LOVE SO MUCH j'adore Paris!!!
Daria and I will be shopping,having coffee,visit museums and just lounge around as Parisians for a day Then the next day we shall take the train to Nancy, Beautiful beautiful Nancy :)
I CANT WAIT!!!!!
Bear in mind that even though I seem happy, always ALWAYS at the back of my mind I am aware that I have those frightening exams in January which frankly just makes me noxious
PRAY I DO WELL PEOPLE
ok thank u and gudnite see u soon kiss kiss muah muah
p.s i LOVE this video! I would KILL for beyonce's body I want that kind of body Not to mention,those kind of moves ;p
je suis hereuse!!! pourquoi? j'ai fini mon examen français l'examen français était très difficile!
now u should get that, it was not too difficult,was it? Unlike my french exam which was,to be honest, not impossible but it was quite a shock I didnt expect it to be that hard So im glad I spent the last two days cooped up in my room studying for it [Dulu arab takde pulak nak study mcm tu kan?haha]
On the bus to uni, I was memorising my french verbs when someone nudged me from behind It was this old man who kindly offered to help me with my french I dont know HOW much he could have taught me in the 15 minutes it took me to get to uni But i was touched by the offer,nevertheless :))
After the exam, I decided to treat myself to a little eye candy not of the breathing hunky male variety,mind u ;p But something less human, and more pleasurable [at least for moi] a trip to le grand magasins! Harvey Nichols!Selfridges! I saw Moschino Cheap & Chic, Paul & Joe, Twenty8Twelve Armani Collezioni! Just to name a few of my favourite brands. Unfortunately, yours truly is currently broke And if I werent broke, no way in hell could I afford any of those clothes without help from daddy dearest or an extravagant sale My Marithé et François Girbaud shirt was already stretching the limit but I consider it an investment [and wait till u see this shirt it is TOO die for,simply one of a kind! :)]
Suffice to say, my grand stroll was soothing to the eyes And I immediately texted maman dearest because I miss our grand tours of the department stores ;p
Lately I'm missing ibu more and more Its getting worse nowadays to the point I can actually imagine lying with her on the bed having our long conversations the feel of her, the smell of her haha! [bukan ibu smelly tau ;p its just those moments are comfortable and familiar and i miss them!] I'm guessing its because everyone is going back for winter holidays And ma famille is going to Australia TOMORROW it makes me miss home more
That is why this trip to France next Saturday is going to be good I'm gonna see Daria! And i've missed her I miss our deep talks and the not-so-deep ones ;p Our Urban Outfitters raids, our sushi sessions And this time around its gonna be even more great cause its FRANCE!
Now all I have to do is revise a little before my trip! :)))
yeah, like thats ever gonna happen.
p.s u know wut else i miss? more eye candy! [now of the breathing hunky male type variety] so i present to u, my four most FAVOURITE boys [theyre not exactly boys but who cares,haha] James Mcavoy and Gerard Butler -both scottish Henry Cavill and Ben Barnes - both english notice a trend here? ;p [i would mention Johnny Depp but dia kan suami so he doesnt count ;p]
Im in a rather peckish mood and I feel the need to blog,blog,blog
But I confess, I know not what to blog about.
Ok here goes:
Lately Im suffering through a certain ennui of life, if u please
I cant wait for winter holidays to begin so I can go to France and have a legitimate excuse for not studying Being cooped up in Manchester just makes me feel guilty of not doing enough work
BUT, I finished my Sociology essay! [only the first draft tho,still need to revise at least two three times before the final piece] I finished reading all the chapters for Economics! [tho I still DONT understand a single thing so I shall read all again in January ;p]
I have a French exam on Tuesday But I'll only start revising tomorrow So I have a little me time now before I have to get ready for tonight's big surprise dinner celebrating Nariza's 20th [even though she knows about it ;p]
Lately, I've been listening to Claude Debussy a lot If you're new to classical music, have a listen to his "Claire de Lune" its one of my favourite and is the sound of utmost tranquility and,in a way,romance as well :) "L'isle Joyeuse" is also quite mesmerizing J'adore Claude Debussy He fills my soul with magic.
I have this dream of being a certain kind of person: Quite mature [which im not] Quite tall [ which im DEFINITELY not] Elegant looking with an abundance of charm and wit [Any hint of sarcasm dripping from my mouth would also just be considered as a very clever display of wit] Quite eloquent [ this I can strive for,I hope] An enigma. I would like to be a person with character, Someone brave, a regular ball-buster More Lauren Bacall than Audrey Hepburn. Not really the belle of the ball, but someone with more depth. More than what meets the eyes. Someone VERY independent.
Now thats who I would love to be I think its achievable at 21,dont you? Or rather 22 [it IS the end of the year]
My apologies for all this purposeless ramblings, I will probably delete this post after,haha.
if you know me at all you know im not perfect [i'm far from it]
and you know i have this constant need to be the best to be the only one... ok im not making sense here
what i'm trying to say is, if theres a thing i like, i like to be the only one who likes it if theres a thing i have, i like to be the only one who has it, if theres a word i like to say, i like to be the only one who says it [ok i'm willing to bend a bit over this one ;p]
So it really ANNOYS me to unbelievably huge proportions that TWILIGHT is on everyone's lips nowadays ok im not saying im the ONLY one who read the book [im not that self-centered u know ;p] but it is quite QUITE irritating how its suddenly this big phenomena [believe me i was like this when " I Captured the Castle" became a movie as well as the remake of "HAIRSPRAY]
little girls are gushing over Edward Cullen [or giggling in the cinema, as Mus'ab puts it] and TWILIGHT TWILIGHT TWILIGHT is all I hear nowadays either people like it or they dont and it doesnt matter whether u like it or u dont [because personally, i disagree with the casting as well, Henry Cavill would have made a much more drool-worthy Edward Cullen!] its STILL ON EVERYONE'S LIPS!
to be honest, I guess a source of my frustrations is the fact that its not out yet in Les Royaume-Unis Thus I have not had the privilege[if u can call it that] to watch it yet And even with all the crappy reviews, Im still dying to watch it, as I always do with all my other novels-turn-movies [By the way, do u notice there is a trend for the movies to be fairly disappointing when compared to the novels?]
So there u go, another honest ranting
On that note, heres another movie I await with breathless anticipation:
"The Curious Case of Benjamin Button"
also inspired by a short story written by F.Scott Fitzgerald u know, author of "The Great Gatsby" [ Now theres another novel I hold in fond memories - Jay Gatsby will always have a piece of my heart!]
the castings not too bad with the likes of Brad Pitt, Cate Blanchett, and Julia Ormond Have a look at the trailer The storyline is exactly the kind of whimsical tale that I love so much :)
Other than that, "The Picture of Dorian Gray" is another interesting movie to look out for the book was written by the infamous Oscar Wilde [ of the grave-kissing in Paris *wink*wink*] and guess whos gonna be Dorian Gray? Ben Barnes himself! So sue me if I think he's dishy,hes adorable in "Easy Virtue" :))
Do u know, I have loads to blog but nothing comes to mind right this minute.
I have this GLORIOUS plan of writing my essay in half an hours time. The title:
"What major changes have affected the role of women in the workplace? To what extent do these changes represent an improvement on the welfare of women?"
Yes,folks, its very sad and I have to come up with 3000 words worth of crap [based on the ten[count 'em TEN!] books I researched] But hopefully HOPEFULLY I will succeed enough to earn a high first class in this module? :)) plus I have a maths assessment to do tonite due tomorrow And a French exam next week which is kind of scary if you think about it This semester has definitely NOT been kind to me ;p
A thing to rejoice tho, Next week is the last week of uni! [but then we have exams when we get back so my time will probably be spent studying urgh :(] And im jetting of to France next Saturday to stay with mon belle amie, Daria bolotine! And then im spending new year's eve in London with that ol' gang from high school :)
A thing to NOT rejoice ;p Ma famille is going to Gold Coast without MOI Its enough to reduce a girl to tears Oh well u cant have everything in life Have a good time folks, but please be so kind and remember ur lovely daughter here And ikhlas congrats on finishing high school i expect to see u here in the VERY near future ;p
Heres something new [NOT!] I have this wierd itch to travel again But im guessing its mostly because im so fed up with coursework and Ryanair is doing this amazingly cheap air tickets to amazingly exotic places A weekend in Rennes,anyone? At least, I can practice my french ;p
I'll end this post with a favourite poem of mine by the ever-famous Edgar Allen Poe
A Dream Within A Dream by Edgar Allan Poe
Take this kiss upon the brow! And, in parting from you now, Thus much let me avow-- You are not wrong, who deem That my days have been a dream; Yet if hope has flown away In a night, or in a day, In a vision, or in none, Is it therefore the less gone? All that we see or seem Is but a dream within a dream.
I stand amid the roar Of a surf-tormented shore, And I hold within my hand Grains of the golden sand-- How few! yet how they creep Through my fingers to the deep, While I weep--while I weep! O God! can I not grasp Them with a tighter clasp? O God! can I not save One from the pitiless wave? Is all that we see or seem But a dream within a dream?
have a good week folks and before i forget, EID MUBARAK ;)
