Well, definitely not me.. well, not anytime soon anyway :) In any case, I am rather contented writing over at my new blog and I am getting more at ease letting people peek into it. So for long time readers, kindly drop me an email and I’ll get back to you upon verification! Mwah mwah~ Have a good life everyone hehe!
It’s green for The Wahids this year… as well as for a bazillion other Muslim families we see walking around, apparently haha! A normal routined Hari Raya outing - visiting Mum’s elder siblings and ending the day at the paternal grandparents’ crib.
Only difference for this year, would be the amazed look on the elders’ faces as I hand them green packets and refuse to accept theirs, the surprised look on the younger cousins’ faces as I distribute the above to them, as well as the crestfallen look on MY face as my younger brothers end the day counting their collection whilst I peep into my empty clutch.
Bluek… As if to add salt to wound, my aunty cum manager approached me and said
Haha Faddy, there’s no turning back now. Even if you start school back next year, you’ll never get any more green packets because everyone has registered it in their heads that you are working! Waaaaahahahaha! Welcome to the adult world!
Teramat sangat pilu rasa dihati. Anyway, more pics up on my Flickr (for those who have it)! Gotta go sleep now as I need to rise and shine early for work tomorrow :/
Takde mood lansung nak pergi, you!
The one event I look forward to the most upon the end of Ramadhan, is not the feast that awaits, is not the nice clothes I get to wear, is not the prospect of meeting family and friends alike… it’s sitting down with the family having our last breaking of fast, and listening to the Takbir.
Every year without fail I’d shed tears upon listening to it, for it reminds me of how human I am and how Allah is the Greatest, the Merciful.
Have a blessed Eid everyone :)

Because my BestManFriend Kimmy is in camp, and because I didn’t couldn’t find the mood to do another one, here’s last year’s Hari Raya dedication… for those who are new, who missed it, or for those who just wants to laugh a second time at our silliness :)
Selamat Hari Raya Maaf Zahir Batin everyone! Please forgive me for all my sins towards any of you, and I pray everyone has had a blessed Ramadhan :) Now go out hooray-hooray whilst I fret about the amount I have to fork out this year since I am already working kwa kwa kwa…

I remember there was once a point of time where Darwin’s evolutionist theory was the in thing. Again and again, the media, be it through documentaries or reputable science magazines like National Geographic, kept bombarding viewers with so called ‘facts’ and ‘evidences’ that mankind is actually an aftermath of a long process of evolution from animal species.
I too do remember myself being slightly taken in by all the propaganda, because the Darwinists do seem to have credible information which support their theory. For example, they managed to retrieve a skull of a human/ape species (which, after years of being displayed in a museum, proved to be a well thought hoax, where someone actually glued pieces of a human and ape skull together and aged it artificially), and things to that effect.
At the back of my head, I was a tad apprehensive because Islam has taught me that man is man, and ape is ape. Since Adam, Allah has created humans from soil, just by saying “Be! And it will be!“, and therefore this understanding I had clashed with the Darwinists’.
However, being young and naive at that point of time, I questioned the rationale behind the creator, because… well… the supporters of the theory are all learned men who seemed to know what they’re talking about, aren’t they? (Astarfirullah… to think I had doubted *slaps forehead*)
As time passed, I just shelved the issue as I didn’t find it relevant to my life… until recently when I was reading up on all sorts of information about everything. It struck me then that the creation of the earth is the most relevant thing to my life, because it is from there that everything begun!
The question of the how us humans, the earth, and the infinite galaxies surrounding it came to be has long been debated by scientists and creationists. If the scientists could prove and recreate how all of the above came about, then it would sort of debunk the basis of religions all over the world; that God is the one who created everything, which is why we submit to Him.
Last Sunday my aunt opened her doors to her newly bought condo to all the relatives and I am totally floored with the place. Named Ris Grandeur (which was easy to locate, given that it was a stone throw’s away from Shaz’s place), I have to say I am IN LOVE with the location!

It is a common consensus that the Mrt holds host to many bewildering stories on human behavior. Other than the lively discussions we’ve had on Mrt Rides Part 1 and Part 2, a scroll through Stomp.sg will give one endless food for thought on what kind on characters exist in Singapore nowadays. For a moment I’d like to step aside from the chaos of depraved teenage boys or broken-hearted Minahs, and look at the ‘normal’ commuters aboard.
I think that many of us are in the same boat, where, bored out of our wits sitting in a seemingly endless journey, our eyes start roving about looking at the people around. While some like to give a once-over on a person’s clothes and move on, I have this thing where I would ’study’ the person. This means that I would look at his clothes, his behavior, and from there, make a deduction on his lifestyle or history.
Of course, I know in the end that my deductions are baseless and can never be proven, but it just gives me a kick to feel as if I can read this stranger sitting in front of me. I feel that if I keep this conclusions to myself, and always keep a reminder that my thoughts are purely fiction, I cause no harm to anyone.

Since it is no longer such a big deal anymore as it is my third time already, I didn’t tell anyone but it’s been a week since I last rebonded my hair! The only people who I divulged information to were my colleagues and Claire whom I asked for opinions from and of course, the boyfriend.
After reading a million and one forums on places to go and reviews on hairdressers, I decided to fuckit and trust on my instincts. After a short walk surveying rows and rows of salons, I finally made my choice with Formula Cut Hairdressing at Fareast Plaza.

After reading blog upon blog writing about the Qian Hu Fish Farm, I finally managed to get my family there on Vesak Day. Initially, my dad wanted to visit the Singapore Expo as a family but seriously, where’s the fun in seeing the same Indonesian wares again and again? Haha…

Woah, it’s been ages since I last did a tag kekeke. Thanks eh, Fitree! I guess I’ll just get down to it. And oh, that’s the view from my desk, thank you very much. Kalah Manager aku nyer view :P
#1 If your lover betrayed you, what will your reaction be?
Speaking from experience, in order : Get depressed, lose 5 kilos, try to win him back, give up, get angry, find peace after a year, and become close friends again :)
#2 If you can have a dream to come true, what would it be?
To travel + take pictures + blog for a living. Anyone wants to make this a reality?
#3 What will your dream wedding be like?
Just a short nikah at the mosque with close family and friends, followed up by a super long honeymoon on some beach paradise.
Please link me as "Faddy | Girl Next Door".
