Ever Fallen In Love

You stir up my natural emotions
Make me feel like dirt, I'm hurt
And if I start a commotion
I run the risk of losing you
What is worse -
Ever Fallen In Love



    Once upon a time there lived a simple girl leading a very simple life. Then on a very fine day, as she was reading a book in the library, came her knight in shining armour. She fell, he helped her pick her books up, he smiled and she was enchanted. Day and night she could not stop thinking about him. This went on for a week, and she decided that she was thus, in love with the stranger. She felt as if she knew everything about him, though she had only met him once. She felt that they were somehow destined to be together. Yes, she believed everything to be certain that he was the one. She added him in Facebook, and he approved.
      The boy went through the girl's pictures, one by one. He too, then felt as if he knew everything about her. He felt that they were somehow destined to be together and believed everything there was to be certain she was the one.

        So they went out for a few times and became lovebirds.

         And everything went smoothly.

           And then the girl was bored.

              The boy wasn't what she thought.

                 He's not the one, she made up her mind.

                    The feeling was mutual.

                         The boy was also bored.

                             She's not the one, he made up his mind.

                                  So they broke up.
                     
         And then one fine day, the girl was sitting in the library reading a book, when her knight in shining armour came. She tripped,and fell. Hence, she fell. He helped her pick her books up. He smiled. The girl was enchanted. This time she was certain he's the one. Very certain.

But he wasn't the one, she realized it after being steady with him for a month.
And she was bored. So they broke up.

So that's pretty much how her primary schooldays were spent. And everytime she thought she was in love. Every. Time.

And now she's in university, she knows enough to not to be an idiot like she used to be.

Moral di sebalik cerita : Jangan main mercun. :D Selamat hari raya guys

Tuesday

If You are Rich, I'm Single

And our souls won't be exhumed" -Sing for Absolution


    It was the second day of Raya, and I was extremely bored. On that very hot day, I happened to be alone and was in charge to babysit the kids. My aunts and uncles visited Pak Itam who was sick in Melaka. The kids were outside, playing Pop-pop firecrackers while I watched a movie. I was wearing a pair of shorts. Since the day was quite hot, I didn't wear what one would wear appropriately when one stays in kampong, mind you.

     Then suddenly, I heard my 6-year-old nephew shouting from the outside, calling me. I ignored him. Then he came to the room knocking on the door. I was pissed, then I opened the door. I looked at him with a very fierce look. He told me that my friends were waiting for me outside. I asked him if he was sure that those people outside were indeed my friends. He nodded confidently. 

      So I wondered, if they were my friends, they would have called me before coming. But then I guessed they might be old friends who had lost my number. Anyway friends of mine piously come to my kampong almost every Raya, so it was of no wonder. I also imagined that they were boys. I forgot to ask my nephew about that. So I grabbed a grey T-shirt, purposely picked, just in case the ones who were waiting for me were boys. I looked into the mirror, and practiced what I would say to them.

     Then I walked out of the room and headed outside. At the same time, my mind was visualizing the possible candidates who were waiting for me outside. 'Boys. Boys.' I hoped.

     But the truth was way too far from my imagination. When I stepped outside, I saw four old men with long beard in jubah. I was shocked, dumbstruck, flabbergasted, stupefied, and whatever. They were shocked, too. They stared at me, who was in shorts, and then read the print on my T-shirt; 'If You Are Rich, I'm Single'. After a moment of silence, they greeted and started talking. They were tabligh (very religious type of people) from Pakistan, and they came to share some knowledge about Islam.

If I knew that they were tabligh, I would have come out with proper attire.

p/s: Haziq, how the heck did you get the idea that they were my friends???  T_T
