Airplanes. Oh how I hate them. They make me throw up going through turbulence and ache in places I didn’t even know existed (that’s not too good is it?). I’m so glad to be on solid ground though. The thought of gigantic gasoline-fueled flying machines isn’t exactly very comforting.
So here I am drinking my coffee and shivering because I had to take a cold shower since I couldn’t find the hot water button/switch… thingy. And silly me forget to ask my dad before he left for work. Which reminds me, it’s kinda scary here being alone.
I miss my baby sis, I have no one to annoy or tease or more or less talk to… and my kitten. And my friends & family back home. And people I chat with on MSN. For some reason, MSN messenger won’t work and I have to use webmessenger. This computer is so slow, which is ironic because the Internet is surprisingly fast. Odd combo if you ask me. Looks like AEA would have to continue on it’s hiatus until I get back home, since even starting PS would be mere suicide.
Thanks for the comments previously.. now that I read that entry over again, it seems very vague, but sometimes it’s so liberating to give free reign to your thoughts.
Of travelling, planting seeds & green bellies
Category: Blog/AExA related, Walk of life
*Sigh* I just finished putting up a new premade design on AExA. That one took AGES to complete. The first time I worked on it, I took 2 days to get a result that wasn’t even satisfactory, so I stashed it. And yesterday I decided to have another go at it, and sadly to say … It looks no where like the original, except for the image alignment. But, the colors are pleasing to my eyes so yeah, I guess that counts.
Remember how I said my sis came back from the Bahamas? Well it’s my turn to go there, something concerning the Bahamian Citizenship. I think I’ll be gone for a month or so, maybe longer. Dad doesn’t exactly approve of my webdesigning, he’s always stressing on devoting time to studies ( which parent isn’t, hmm?) So anyway, that puts damper to my designing then.. I doubt it if his computer can even handle PS -.-
I need to plant trees. No wait, I need to plant seeds. Yes, that’s it. It’s been pending for ages. I love gardening, but sometimes I get so lazy. Mom’s been at me for planting them ever since my dad sent them a long time ago. I haven’t done it yet. And yes, my dad sends us seeds to plant from overseas. It’s a funny world I tell ya. Oh well, I’m off to live some green house adventures. See ya =)
one of the many random voice conversations
Aelyn: hehehehe
Thuy: are you ok?
Aelyn: haha! I dunno
Thuy: you’re so weird.
Aleyn: yes I am *another burst of giggles*.
Thuy: you dork, haha now look you’ve got me all hyper.
Aelyn: I have Barney ^_^
Thuy: If Barney’s not fat then I dunno what is.
Aelyn: hehehe. I swear it’s not fat, it’s belly is just green.
Thuy: o.o
Thuy: Alright, you’re scaring me now.
EDIT: Plugs to Extasy, Elena’s got an awesome new layout up.

My sister came back from The Bahamas 2 days ago. She bought this lovely candle. I have a soft spot for candles.. all kinds, scented, wax, gel … I love collecting them. There was a time when Thuy and I, went on a candle craze and browsed them for a good 2 hours blank We do that alot, she’s my browsing buddy hehe — talk about random insaneness.
Hmm. If I’m not browsing or singing random songs with Thuy, I’m reading stories from fictionpress.com or discussing design related stuff with Aiko — or just plain chatting with other friends on MSN.
-Sigh- I wish Aiko/Thuy would respond to my IMs or that Chris would decide on a midnight snack. Grr, you gotta hate boredom.
Which explains the blog. That also reminds me of something else. Aiko is a beautiful name, isn’t it? Sure it is. That’s why I stole it and named my kitten after her. That’s her below:
I like to think my kittens and I have a level of understanding between us. Aiko especially. I swear, she has her own language, her meows are so different from the rest of the kittens. Haha I adore her, she’s such a cute kitty/bunny/racoon (don’t mind me, but those are her “other” nick names) <33.
I apologize if the pages mess up when I update, that tends to happen alot.
Eid Ul-Adha
Category: Islam, Walk of life
Tomorrow or rather today (since it’s already AM) is Eid ul-Adha, also known as Bakrid, or “Feast of Sacrifice”. It marks the end of Hajj or holy pilgrimage to Mecca (for those who don’t know). Usually on this day, muslims offer the Eid prayer and then make a ‘Qurban’ or sacrifice. It could be either a goat, a lamb or a camel and then give the meat to charity, family, friends and relatives (each having their own specific requirements).
I know some people would find it cruel sacrificing an animal. But we do it to show our obedience and love to Allah. The day also remembers an event in the past when Prophet Ibrahim (or Abraham, alaihi wassalaam) was commanded by Allah to sacrifice his son to show his love for Him. There are similar stories, as such, in Christianity or Jewish literature, but the versions vary.
All the same, I just can’t wait! My mom’s making sheer kurma (which is a Indian/Pakistani dessert) and it’s my favorite. cute I was planning on putting henna on my hands, but now it’s too late, maybe I’ll get a chance later today. I just adore henna.
I’ve just finished tidying the house and I’m so tired. Thanks for the comments on the layout, sorry if it looks gothic.
I’ll have you know, that’s not blood.. it just looks like it, syrup maybe?
Anyway, I’m off to bed. Eid Mubarak.
