Story of A Goddess

Here I am, in my red-painted room. With dark wood furnishings and white accessories. On my plushie queen-sized, red-covered, 4-pillowed-with-1-bolster bed. White Roman blinds blocking most of the sun out when it's a sunny day. Lotsa fantasy novels arranged, and mythical merchandise i've collected. My heart-shaped earrings' board hung on the wall next to sky-element towel/hanger hooks. Pictures of me through my years from a fat baby to the geeky teenager that i was to the awkward, self-proclaimed gracious woman that I have become.

I may have not grown up here but this room, the farthest room on the left on this house, in Kota Damansara Section 5, is the only room where I felt as if it were my sanctuary. As though my whole life begins here. The place where I go most and spend my time just hanging out practically doing nothing. Well, I do lots of things actually. Like singing and dancing crazily in front of the mirror to blasting music from my old radio. Spend hours on the bed clicking and tapping on the also red, sleek Dell mini laptop or the, then, huge ass, black 'hak kerajaan Malaysia' HP laptop. The times I've sobbed silently, cried my heart out till my voice was hoarse, laughed loudly, giggled giddily, and stayed awake and laid still just to hear my heartbeat in my ear, feel it against my chest and rocking my body ever so slightly with each pump of those strong cardiac muscles in this room of mine.

The sleepovers I've had with friends and loved ones. we could share a bed with 5 people, or I'll be on the big bed alone while the other sleeps on the floor next to me. The dress ups, study sessions or gossip times were endless. I can tell that guests love this room too. I'm proud to be the owner of this special room. However, nothing lasts forever as one would expect because in a few day's time, all of it will be nothing but a memory. One that remains etched in my heart and brain forever. Like permanent marker. I'll miss you, Mr Room. I have pictures of you. Even if i don't, I can still remember it as vividly as though I still have it somewhere in an imagination room. Every corner, cracks, nook and crannies. All of it won't be forgotten. I will accept the fate of letting go. But only the room as an empty shell as I will make my next room just as homey and comfortable as this sanctuary. I'll pour my memories into the next one. I promise. I know it's too soon but an early farewell speech. Thank you, Room.

p/s: Edward is coming to town. This trip will be the last trip where i can spend quality time with him in my room before I move on to Seremban and be his housemate. =S I can't wait to see you Sweetheart.

I was never good with making promises and to me, new year resolutions are promises you make to yourself that has to be fulfilled in that year. Sure you've got 365 days to do it but come on. Making promises to yourself is just bullshit. You know you'll find any loophole or excuses to not do these resolutions. Some people are just more discipline than others. I don't think I'm ever going to be in that category. So why bother making a new year's resolution?

Speaking of resolutions and empty promises, when 2010 came in I was kinda hyped up about and believe me, I was so hyped up about it that I haven't really blogged. I felt that I didn't want to update my life. (Padahal malas je sebenarnya) Oh well, I realized, I was blogging through my phone so much that when the phone bill came, Mama threaten to cut the line! Noooo!!!! If she cuts it, I'll never be able to get a Blackberry. I don't actually need it but I just want to have what other people have. OMG!! Elisha just look and listen to what you just said. Isshh what has 2010 done to you? Truth is, I keep saying I want it but I know deep down I'll keep finding excuses not to buy it. Hell, I have tuition fees and house deposits to pay. BB apanya.....

This blog is probably going to be a long one because I'm gonna update this entry about the whole of January. And boy did I had a ton of fun last month. So if you have no time, come back again to read it. And if you think you have better things to do, go ahead and finish whatever you're going to do. This entry isn't going anywhere. And if you really think that my blog is a waste of your precious time then, click the X on this window and carry on with your life. But for those who are still reading this: Thank you for being my loyal readers. How many of you are actually reading this? (Still reading? teehee) I bet not more than 5! haha. Oh whatever Elisha, just update the damn post already.

And so January began:


First week:
1st day of the year/month and already there was a huge celebration in the family. The newest addition to the family: Suzana aka Habil's newly wedded wife. Yeay! The wedding was okay. When voice messages of Fatin and Hanis (Habil's siblings who were too far away, across oceans, to attend his wedding) were played out for the whole dewan to hear, I got a lump in my throat. Weddings can get me all teary-eyed. *sniff sniff* The rest of the weekend was just a time to chill out. I don't even remember what I did.

Second week:
-I still had to work for the first week but i skipped out on monday because I had to send dear Grandmother to Johor. Ah that was a ride. I was with Aiman and Abg Fiz. The night before, I was on the phone with Jacob and the conversation got all weird and wrong. Haha. Oh well, I still had a few laughs.
-Nothing much happened on the 6th, I just dyed my hair natural brown with light goldish brown streaks. The natural brown was awesome but the streaks were a bit uneven. Grr.. what the hell, I still looked good.
-But on the 7th was the main highlight of the week. I actually saw The Gentleman himself on stage serenading me with his soothing melodious voice. When he smiled, the girls in the crowd went crazy!! I didn't know a quarter of the songs he sang but DAMN he was FINE~~! I haven't partied that hard in ages. Makes me miss my youthful days.
-On the 9th, that Saturday was Lisa's birthday party. She's one of my oldest friends. Since primary 1. Ah those good old days. It was fun meeting her again but not really a place to catch up on things. We clearly don't know what has been going on with each others life but it's nice to know that we're still friends. *big smiles for the friendship* Everybody wore superb costumes and dresses! the theme was Hollywood. Imagine that!

Third week:
-The day before, on that Sunday, I was agitated and annoyed at the fact that I haven't seen Edward for more that 2 weeks. And I thought it would be a pleasant change if i came up with a Penang trip instead of him coming down. So I asked mum and she actually said yes but only for ONE NIGHT! PFFTT!! Off to Penang I went with my sister. Now that was great because we had special connections in Penang and went to hang out at the Hard Rock Hotel. That was WICKED!! Edward was there of course but I kept thinking that I didn't have enough time with him. So on Tuesday we went down to KL together. Heeee! And I had no more work except on Friday. We went swimming, watched a movie. Love that week but now, it seems soooo far away.
-Our times were cut short because Abg Mahathir was getting engaged and the whole family boarded a bus (One bus with just the big familia as passengers : Specifically booked for the occasion) to JOHOR BAHRU!! My goodness! That was fun! It was just for the weekends so by the time we came back on sunday, I was beat!

Fourth week:
-This week was all about Eleena, my Angel sister. We went to Chilli's for a birthday dinner and we bought her a shocking pink dress for the actual birthday party that weekend.
- During the Party, I felt really old. Being among them teenagers with I know that I no longer belong to 'teen' aged group. A little bit depressing. I wowed Eleena's friends with my mediocre singing skills. They are really easily amazed. Weird bunch. Haha.
-That Saturday, I went out with WJ and Fia for a supposed bowling outing but it turned out to be a 'Legion' movie outing instead. And I thought I was watching the hilarious 'Spy Next Door'. I almost died in the cinema. Watch out guys. You'll pay for it one day.
-On Sunday, Mama was missing AZ so much that we made a surprise visit to Abg Cah's house in Kuantan. What a trip. AZ is adorable as always and Zara is just as naughty and noisy. When I'm older and having kids of my own, I want them to be as adorable as those little monkeys! *kisses* <3

Fifth week:
-Got a phone call from Latha demanding, no ordering me to go to Zulaikha's house so that my highschool friends and I can drive down to Melaka to visit her. Yea... That dictator. Furthermore, she wanted to meet us in KYS. The alma mater. What the eff.... Of course I wasn't of any significance so most teacher don't remember me. My add maths teacher remembered my name (Im quite sure because I introduced myself to the new headmistress in front of me) but he thought that I was the niece of Dr Ikmal. Yea great thanks. Even after high school I'm confused with Izati. No offense my twin. I'm just a little bit bitter about that. I mean I know I'm not well-known but don't la rub it in my face. (Angry at the situation)
-New house in DJ is a lot smaller so I'm a teeny-wit bummed at the fact that I won't get a room of my own. No shade of red in any part of the house. So I vowed that my room in Seremban will have that exact shade of blood-red. YES! DJ house is covered and repaired nicely. We're renting to no major renovations are made. Not that we have the money to do but I'm happy with it. A change is inevitable to make sure that our lives aren't as stressful.
-Since on the way back from Melaka proved what a scaredy-cat I was, Zulaikha hosted a fright night on Friday. If i almost died watching 'Legion' the other day, I died atleast THREE effing times on Friday/Saturday. It was horrible. Great fun but HORRIBLE. I will never ever see a horror movie again. And I think I know why. After torturing myself up to the point of severing my sanity, I realized that the reason I don't watch these movies is because I am first and foremost a visual person. My memory is stored longer if I see it. I can recount to you any movie that I have seen, scene by scene, with vivid details. So you can figure out how these gruesome images are embedded in my mind!! *chills* I had little sleep from then on.
-Saturday was great fun because I helped around at the new/old house and by afternoon around 4 we went to the upper east in Ampang for a swim. I swam only 500m. -oh yea... all those small meals and exercise is not making me lose any weight! uselessnya!!!- but after that, it was Sauna time with my beloved cousin J. She can really stand the heat in there. We were in 43 degrees of oven heat before I couldn't stand it. Only then was she satisfied with the 'glazed sweat-covered' look that she had in mind. I was already bathing in my sweat! Boy that felt good. The heat was a bit too much for me though. I had a cold that night and the next. Brrr~
-Sunday was hot!! and Toothfairy was HILARIOUS!! YEAY! That's all for January 31st!
