~Nobody Is Perfect~

I was bored, so I switched on the TV and looked for a channel to watch. I kept on pressing the buttons on the remote and I eventually stopped at #702...The Oprah Winfrey Show was on air...

Talking about Oprah, I'm not very much of her fan but I love watching her show...I like the way she handles audiences and how she communicates with her guests...She's absolutely one of the best women in the world and she proved it by having her own TV show..

Today's topic was about overwhelmed mothers. She invited a lady, Brenda to talk a about a tragic incident that happened a year ago. Brenda accidentally left her 2-year-old daughter (Cecilia) in her car for almost 8 hours during a heatwave as she thought she had dropped her at the sitter's...Cecilia was found dead from heat exhaustion hours later...

I cried when I saw how sad she was, losing her precious baby girl...It was not her usual duty to send her daughter off to the baby sitter but on that day her husband, Gary had a dentist appointment...According to Gary, Brenda was kinda stressed and under pressure as it was the first day of school and she had loads of things going on her mind that she forgot about Cecilia and accidentally left her alone in the car.

During the interview, Brenda called herself “the most hated mom in America” and told of being severely judged, even losing her job as an assistant principal because of what happened. She hopes that other parents would learn from her dreadful mistake...

If you are a caring, conscientious parent, you know how overwhelming the responsibilities of raising children can be sometimes, especially coupled with all of the other trials that life invariably brings. Even the most loving and thoughtful parents have bad days occasionally.

Our tempers accidentally flare, we misjudge a situation, or something important slips our mind. Although we try to do what is best for our children, we are human, which means that there will be times when we drop the ball...

Nobody is perfect...

May God bless you, Brenda and your adorable angel, Cecilia.....

Amir - Cindy Wedding

My brother's wedding is next week!

Amir and Cindy are going to start off a new chapter in their lives. This could well be the most important and interesting phase in their lives. I was talking to Cindy the other day and she told me she has been waiting for this moment to arrive for a long time now.

Ya know, when you are in love, you don't really care how long it might take you to be with your significant other. The only thing you know is that there is bliss at the end and that keeps you going through the trials and tribulations.

My family and I will be off to Jakarta next Thursday for the wedding and off to Bandung on 13th June for shopping...

Can't wait! :)

I'm Gonna Miss You Babygirl!

My baby Fatin finally left me all alone at home... :(

She had to register her 1st semester at UiTM Shah Alam yesterday.

Fatin was sad that I didn't send her to college. I wanted to but I didn't want her to see me shedding my tears before saying goodbye..

Everybody loves her...Even when I woke up this morning, the first thing that came into my mind was her...She texted me at 1.30am last night and told me she can't sleep and how she missed everyone at home...I told her that everything would be fine soon...Its just a matter of time..

I don't know why I love her so much..Besides getting the love and attention from me as a sister, she's actually getting more....I shower her with love every now and then, do anything that please her and try to fulfill her needs...She deserves to be loved by everyone...She's bright, she's brave, she knows how to handle things wisely...I simply adore her courage and spirits...

I miss her and I always will....I used to wonder why I called her everyday when I was in Perth till I pissed her off....Now I know why....I can't live WITHOUT her... :)

I love you babygirl!

~UWA~

After months waiting with patience, I finally received an offer letter from UWA early this month. What really pisses me off is, why did they take so long to send the letter? The offer was made on 16th April but I only received it on 4th June!

I would have to agree with some of my friends...They were right about UWA, one of the universities that take 'YEARS' in responding to students' applications. If I knew it earlier, I would not have applied there..There are loadsa other universities in Perth like Curtin, ECU, Murdoch, etc...

Talking about UWA, one of the reasons why I applied there is because of its international reputation for excellence..It has been rated as one of the best universities in Australia. I've been there once when I was in Perth last few months. The campus is beautiful and it is extremely well-equipped.

I like the ambience and the mixture of heritage architecture and contemporary buildings...It looks old but full of history...I simply love its leafy grounds of open courtyards and the secluded secret gardens..It's BEAUTIFUL!

Anyways, since the offer came at the very last minute (the class would commence on 20th July 2009), I decided to defer my admission to February next year. Ya know, with the wedding just around the corner plus the sudden financial exigencies, I don't think it's the right time for me to study....I need to do some saving to pay my 1st tuition fee...It costs me AD10,000! ;(

Whatever it is, I'm hoping for the best! This is the only chance for me to go up and do what I've been wanting to do all these years! InsyaAllah...

Pray for me peeps!

Go Diversity!

Congratulations to Diversity, the winner of Britains Got Talent!

To Ashley Banjo, you did a good job...I simply love your choreography..It was AWESOME!

Keep up the good work, guys!

Tuesday Morning...

I woke up kinda early today...I slept off with my lappy on my tummy - luckily it didn't fall on the floor (I sleep still most of the time)...

Hmmmm....What shall I do today?!

I haven't drafted anything yet for my brother's wedding card...Mummy has ordered 500 cards when we were in Jakarta last 2 weeks..It costs her RM1.50/card and that is way cheaper than what we can get here...

I need to see a dentist as well...I've been wanting to do scaling for quite some time...Ya know, without proper cleaning and dental visits, plaque and tartar would build up in the mouth, just below the gum line..Eventually this buildup will cause the gum to move away from the teeth and will form pockets that fill with even more plaque. This buildup can lead to gum disease...Ewwwwwww!

Anyways, I still haven't received any news from UWA..I've been checking the status from the Admission Tracking System from time to time but it's still pending for decision...According to IDP, UWA normally take a longer time than other universities in responding to students' applications..How long more do I have to wait? The first semester would commence in July...If I didn't get any answers by June, I'll assume I didn't get the offer...It's kinda frustrating but I'm not gonna wait any longer...I have to move on...

I need to go and pray now...

I wish you all the best for today...Have a nice day peeps!

~Daddy's Girl~

~DADDY WITH HER FAVOURITE GIRL~

~ME AND MY BABY FATIN~

Fatin has always been daddy's favourite girl...Being the youngest in the family, she gets more attention than anyone of us would get...

Every morning before Daddy leave for work, he would give her a big hug and a kiss on her cheek..She's 18 for God's sake but still being treated like a 10-years-old-girl! LOL

Whatever it is, Fatin would always be my sweetheart...I can't live without her..

I love you baby!

If u ARGUE with him, he says u are STUBBORN;

If u keep QUIET, he says u have no BRAINS.

If u are SMARTER than him, he'll lose FACE;

If he's Smarter than u, he is GREAT.

If u don't Love him, he tries to POSSESS u;

If u Love him, he will try to LEAVE u.(very true huh?)

If u tell him your PROBLEM, he says u are TROUBLESOME;

If u don't, he says that u don't TRUST him.

If u SCOLD him, u are like a NANNY to him;

If he SCOLDS u, it is because he CARES for u.

If u BREAK your PROMISE, u Cannot be TRUSTED;

If he BREAKS his, he is FORCED to do so.

If u SMOKE, u are BAD girl;

If he SMOKES, he is GENTLEMENT.

If u do WELL in your exams, he says it's LUCK;

If he does WELL, it's BRAINS.

If u HURT him, u are CRUEL;

If he HURTS u, u are too SENSITIVE!!

P/S: It's soooooooo true..... :)

It's Not Fair.....

It's sad how someone who's very close to you can call you 'andartu'...I wonder how mean people can be ey?

Even though she didn't mean it and was joking around but it hurts me really bad.....really!

First and foremost, how could you even have the heart to call someone 'andartu'? Don't you think calling a person 'andartu' is the same as questioning the fate? Something which is destined to happen to everyone?

I didn't ask to be single...I didn't even pray to God to not meeting me up with someone who could eventually open my heart and live with him happily ever after...but it's all FATE! I don't know until when I'm gonna be single...and I don't even have the idea who am I gonna spend my lifetime with...

It's not my job to question it to God...I mean, who am I to question Him? Maybe He has a better plan for me..Maybe He wants me to meet someone better, someone who could lead me to the right path, someone who could love me with all his heart...

It's not me who don't wanna get married...It's not me who chose to be single...It's not me who says NO to a relationship!

My bestest friend is getting married end of this month...Do you have any idea how sad I am? Thinking that I'll be losing the most precious friend in my life? The one whos always with me through my ups and downs? I'm grateful that she finally met someone who could eventually take care of her....someone who is truly, madly, deeply in love with her....but knowing that she would be taken away from me, it brings tears to my eyes...

Most people would say,

'Farah, you got the looks...you are too choosy la'...

or

'Orang nak, you yang tak nak'....

It's easy to blame people, ain't it? Do you know how hard I've tried to make my previous relationships last longer? Do you have any idea what I've been through?

NO?!

So stop accusing me for being too choosy...I'm not choosy! If I am, why was I in a relationship with an Indian guy? Why did I spent my one and a half year with someone who was jobless for the first few months we were in a relationship? If money matters, why was I in love with somone who has no saving at all? WHY?!

It ain't easy to sustain a relationship...It takes a lot of effort to make it works..but if what I've done all this while wasn't enough for some guys out there, is it fair for me to be blamed?

You Ain't a Fashionista When........

You follow the latest trend, you wear what those girls out there wear and you even spent hundreds on clothes, shoes, hair, et cetera, et cetera......But hey, you ain't a fashionista when:

1- You over-coloured your hair...


2- You over-shaped your eyebrow..


3- You show off your bra.. (it shouldn't be shown to public)


4- You wear micro-mini...(please, we don't wanna see your Va-jay-jay)


5- You show off your thong/g-string or wutsoever...


6- You wear something which is 2 sizes smaller/bigger than your size..


7- You wear coloured pantyhose..

8- You over-make up... (you surely don't wanna be seen like a witch, do you?)


9- You wear your PJ's for outing..


10- You over-pierced your body..

11- You wear denim from head to toe...

There are loads more do's and don'ts in fashion but I can only remember a few...

You definitely don't wanna be labelled as a fashion snob..So, spend more time browsing the net, check out the latest fashion and the most importantly, be aware of those DON'TS!

Good luck!
