You're here :)

Hey Saddam, i have not wished you yet :( and even if i have wished you, it still would not have been good enough :) because you're not just anyone. you're my good friend :D

Happy Birthday kiddo!

i've known of you since form 4 (please note that i wrote known of, he was famous back then and still is now hehe) but we finally became friends here in Egypt :) it's so cool that i get to have someone from my recent highschool years with me here (abroad i mean) because though we weren't close back then but we sort of grew up with the same surrounding and friends... so here in Egypt, in a way, he understands how i am a little bit more than everybody else ;) thanks Saddam, for listening to me talk crap at times haha and for helping me out when i needed it. we have quite a few years ahead of us and i really hope we'll remain close till the end wey :))) love yah buddy!

Sing and Dance

i can watch this over and over hehehe



watching all this singing and dancing reminds me of how i wanted to become a performer, ah yes, laugh all you want but that actually came on top of my choice to be a doctor but like... hello! welcome to the real world. all the same i like medicine, so whatever.

okay okay! i am so friggin excited! because i have actually found a way to put videos in my ipod, such a noob, i know, omg omg best gila! woohooooo!!! say goodbye to boredome wooots and the video above is the 1st video in my ipod! and i've uploaded it for the world to enjoy. love me please.

oh gosh...
what does it mean when i highlight someone's every single move? i'm freaking myself out. and i'm eating chocolate chip cookies like they're the only food in the world.

You have no idea what you're doing to me

none at all.

you've messed me up so bad. who are you?

I miss mom and dad. dad called today to talk about stuff and oh oh mom got angry at me a few days ago because i gave her the wrong information about the name printed on my bank card, it's actually Noor Athirah but i told her Athirah Ali(because that's my facebook name and i'm so used to that) and i sorta messed up the process a little. and she said no one wants to layan me and my mistakes 24/7. well that's a first. so... the world doesn't revolve around me, i get it now :P but i'm still gonna go around thinking it does. so whatever.

since a few weeks ago my interest in studies has climbed charts, i'm not sure why but i actually look forward to subjects like pathology and anatomy. the new year's doing me good :) Alhamdulillah.

and i have found a new set of series which totally caught my interest but not so much like 90210 and gossip girl.

i love the singing and the head cheerleader, that's about it.

it's freezing here in my room, i should get a heater. or maybe...it isn't that cold but i just want something new in here.

I can't fix some things

a quick post. it would've been a long one if it wasn't 10.30pm already. anyway... i just wanted to type this out. i had this awesome friend when i was 13, she's the best, she really is, we talk everyday and she knows me best, better than anyone and i love her. i can't really explain what happened mostly because i have no idea what actually happened, things just happened and i regret that it did. we grew up and went separate ways and i'm sorry everyday, every single day, that we're not as good friends as we were before, i miss her so much and i wish we were close again. i can't believe this is hitting me hard now. i just saw her going online on facebook and i'm thinking "oh my god what have i done" :'(

i never wanna feel like this about any of my other friends ever. and no one in the world should ever have to feel the way i do about my old friend. it's awful.

Here's to you!

okay, here i am, waiting for 2010 which will happen in approximately a couple more hours. so i've decided to wish ya'll

HAPPY NEW YEAR

I WELCOME YOU 2010!

yeah when i was younger my mom would hassle us to write new year's resolution and i would write them because it's fun.

okay so i'm off to to go write them now.

ah hang on, yes, my wishes for the year ahead perhaps?

i truly hope the coming year treats myself and all of you better than the last :)

and if there's something you regret doing or wish you had done differently or wish you had done at all, by all means, start now, you've been given a chance to start anew :)

and i don't know if you guys know this but i'm kinda prone to accidentally bruising and cutting myself. reckless, something i should work on. anyway, i got away this year with, let's see, 2 visible scars, that's okay, kinda better than last year.

yeah, so i think i survived 2009 pretty well, Alhamdulillah.

I just hope i can say the same at the end of 2010, InsyaAllah.

alright one more time for keepers: Happy New Year fellas!

Imran and I

yeah, haha, that's the caption to this picture

Thanks im, for... everything, really, i can't thank you enough, i can always always rely on you, it's nice to know you have my back and i'm so incredibly happy to have you as my friend. you're funny as hell and the fact that you listen to my worries and make me feel better afterwards just makes you one priceless companion, you're awesome! and i mean it :D love yah loads!

I was a dreamer

When I sent Hun Yin off at KLIA 3 months ago, one of the last things she made me do was to promise that i'll visit her in Warwick. I said "I promise". I imagined i'd visit her 2 or 3 years from then, certainly not 2 months later. But here I am, writing a post on what happened last week, when i actually ACTUALLY did it :D

Let me tell you the whole story! I proposed this idea(going to UK) to a few people and they were like "jom ah" and they suggested we have a Euro-trip, this was going well and all except when it came to the part of who should be on our Euro-trip team. Didn't want to leave anyone out sebab nanti ada yang terasa kang. malas aku. So naturally the figure of our Euro-trip team became a double digit. So i made a mental note to go to UK in March 2010... alone. I didn't tell anyone because honestly... i don't think i'll really go there... not anytime soon anyway. Still, it wouldn't hurt to dream, i told my groupmate, Farizah Fauzi of this idea, i told her i wanna go to UK on my own someday and the day before i flew to UK she reminded me of how i told her about this a long time ago and i have actually forgotten about it, i can't believe i was actually ticking something off my "things i think i'd never do but i guess i'm wrong"

So anyway, suddenly, the Vice Dean had this meeting with us and among the things he discussed was our Eid adha break, he said something along the lines of "you get a nine-day holiday" and even then UK trip still hasn't struck me. I was thinking of following other people to perhaps Luxor Aswan Turkiye etc. It wasn't until one day i was eating at this place in our university and so happens Shadi(our egyptian friend) joined my table and we got talking and he was talking about going to Netherlands and it hit me then that maybe i should go to UK this month instead of March! and Shadi was totally encouraging me, he was like "just go!" I went straight to the tour agent and asked for the flight ticket fare. It was within my budget. Good. Now all i have to do is see if my friends in London would be able to have me over at their place. i only know 3 people in UK. Well 4 if you count Robert Pattinson. Ok lame. Anyway, I only know 3 people there and all of them aren't at the same place. Totally scattered.

Ikmal's in London. Hun Yin's in Coventry. Aina's in Canterbury. I plan to go to each of those places. So i emailed them before i bought my flight tickets and this was about 2 weeks before I actually plan to go, time was running out so i was trying to get all the information i need and also prepare for my Haematology block exam. shit. Nah kidding. I love medicine, no sarcasm, really. All three of them gave awesome responses and they were so welcoming in their emails that i bought my flight tickets right away. Aina told me if i mind the fact that i'd be alone most of the time seeing that ikmal hun yin and herself would be having classes. i told her that she just needed to tell me which places to go and i'll just go. I can't deny the fact that i am so nervous thinking i'd be roaming those English streets alone but can't help feeling excited to be on my own and see how i'd survive on my own haha.

And 24th of Dec came as it should and after taking my Haematology exam i went straight to Cairo and off to Heathrow. Hana, my housemate is with me on flights, she's visiting her sister. So, the night before, i've told Ikmal i 'll arrive at heathrow at 9pm but there was some sort of delay and my plane landed at 10pm, i was sooooo worried that ikmal would have waited for so long and think i didn't come or something because there was no way of contacting him. I went out of the airport and spotted ikmal right away and i was screaming because i haven't seen him in years! he took me to his best friend's place, Nab. We took the underground tube and along the way he told me where he would be taking me tomorrow and he was telling all sorts of things about his house and studies. Wait, hang on, places YOU would be taking me? Don't you have classes? and ikmal said he's skipping 2 days of lecture! and i love him for that! he has algebra and he doesn't always attend them anyway. i felt a surge of relief, pheww at least ikmal would be showing me around for the first couple of days, yay! so i arrived at Nab's place like midnight and ikmal was telling me to be careful because there's been random stabbing in London *shudder*. Nab's place is dead in front of Trafalgar Square! can you imagine! the place was beautiful! Ikmal introduced me to Nab and all 3 of us hung out at her place till dawn while watching Edward Scissorshand (my choice). Nab's roommate is French and i got to know her in the morning. and my vacation starts early the next day! next post next post!

Athirah: Oh my gosh
