Sleep box

Put this on draft yesterday because I don't have much time to spare polishing my words. Maa sent this on my email and I just think this is brilliant !







A sleep box in Dubai Airport. Wowo's excited about it after reading through her post on her blog. I mean who wouldn't ? This makes transit in Dubai even better. Aside from getting to shop for chocolates mostly. That's what we mostly love doing there.

HAPPY 19th BIRTHDAY DR. WOWO ZAINAL !!!!

A big shout out all the way from Malaysia to you in Egypt Adik ! I hope you'll have a great birthday in Alexandria. Probably wandering on the streets with your friends until 4 a.m. in the morning just like the local people there after having your birthday dinner in Hadramawt ? Which by the way will be opening soon in Section 13 near Ayah's new office. Behave well gegirl ! Do not strip down naked on the beach of Alexandria ! I know you won't by the way. Just in case. Hehe. Pulang cepat sebab boleh bertukar-tukar birthday gift nanti. Make sure to buy me more than one gift / souvenir upon coming back. Much love all the way from Negara Tanah Tumpah Darah Mu !

Saya tahu awak sayang saya,
Peluk cium peluk cium muah muah,

Little Snow White

Remember Asha ? My annoying little sister whom I love very very much but had some trouble dealing with before. Well, yea, I think she's being remotely okay for quite sometimes now. Time is indeed the best solution to everything. Could you not agree ?

I'm glad Maa advised me to be easy on her. Because upon me worrying so much on her, I dealt with her in my most unpleasant manner. I've been restricting her with so many things. Being only 12, she's uncomfortable and sometimes got scared with the way I treated her. I haven't been the eldest sister I should have been all this while. I carried my responsibility as the eldest sister to her mostly as a task. A task to protect her from misbehaving and soon with regrets. Where I should have been all along the loving eldest sister instead to deal with her trouble making issues.

But on my defense, I was only trying to protect her. Mainly, because she's my sister and that I love her. Being way older than her had gave me the ticket to myself to restrain her from doing things she would regret in the future. I'm sure I know whats best for her upon learning from my past and previous experience in life. What I've regretted doing in the past, I'm trying my best to not allow the same thing happen to her or any of my siblings. Being the eldest among 6 of us, taught me to be responsible in their doings. What I am doing now, who I turn out to be, what I've achieved, I want Asha and the others to be a billion times better than me.

But admitting to where my relation stands with Asha, which is doing good, she still do get on my nerves sometimes. But not as much. So I'm glad. I'm trying not to be too restricted and let her breathe in between. It's a good feeling to get along with her. I've been trying to be the best possible eldest sister to her. I hope she'll turn out to be a great woman one day. I know she will.

By the way, she had just started blogging again earlier this month. And her first post was liberating. She talks about how to think positive while dealing with stress. Which makes me so proud knowing that she's able to think straight and with maturity at her age. I hope she'll stay positive and have her conscience with her while growing. God, please be with her and the whole family. Amin.

Slap them why don't you ?!

Latterly, while I was browsing through some of the blogshop's review sites. I came upon this site called 'Slap Me Why Don't You ?'. What I personally found awesome about this site is that this site creates a space for buyers or sellers in the online blogshop business to vent out their emotions through the annoyance that they got to experience while either upon purchasing an item or dealing with an order from a customer.

You'll be surprised to see how annoying some can be. Example, Click here.

Here's annoying no 2. Click here.

Personally, I don't really get why did the buyer care so much anyway. Jealousy perhaps ? Some people need to grow up and be smart. Agree ?

Other than being such an annoyance to ones ass, they can also be pretty scary. Woooo !!! Konon la. Click here.

If I happened to be the seller, I'll give her something to regret about. Just saying -__- It's out of my comprehend if you ask me.

Other than that, some can be absurdly inconsiderate and impracticable. Click here.

Let's not think about oneself especially when we're living in a multi-racial country. Be considerate and not selfish to only your thoughts.

This one on the other hand, is yet another case which left me into thinking why ? and what's with the wrong address ? Curious are you ? Read ! Click here.

Through the utmost given time by oneself in reading almost all of the venting emotions and being a buyer sometimes myself, I think it's crucial for buyers to acknowledge some of the words that are being used in the blogshops-phere.

Take for example, Preloved(To avoid this from repeating).I'm pretty sure not all of us knew the meaning of this word. Frankly speaking, I was not aware of the whole meaning. Basically, I knew that preloved item is something that's been used before. A second hand item for example. But since I know less than what I should be explaining, I'm not going to do more talking. I'll just leave you with this for a better understanding on the preloved term. Click here.

Other than that, what is Preorder ? I know most of you lovelies know what this word actually means. Apparently some of us don't. Click here.

So I'm not trying to be an english teacher or anything in conjunction. But I think people should know the root words for preorder. Obviously, preorder comes from two seperate words which can be easily identified which are pre and order. To my understanding pre means in advance. I believe I don't have to explain what order means. That I believe people know better of. Therefore, if we join this two words together, preorder actually means 'in advance order'. So in order for someone to purchase a preorder item, you will have to make an in advance order before you'll be getting your hands on your ordered item because it will usually took a few weeks or maybe a month or so before arriving in front of your doorsteps. I hope I've helped to explain at least a little. If not, try to google. Or maybe this might help you out. Click here and here.

Selfish Smoker

I have a confession. And I hope people won't feel offended. I'm starting to feel uncomfortable with the whole situation of hanging out with some friends that smokes. Because I'm not in my best condition to be sitting around with a smoker.

I don't appreciate people smoking in cigarettes in front of me. If you happened to be a smoker, either socially or daily, I have nothing against you if you choose the path to stay being one. It's your life not mine. But I do care when I have to be the victim of your huff and puff and breathe in the secondhand smoke. I happen to appreciate my life and wanting to live longer. So please, if you choose to be a smoker, be thoughtful around people who don't. Don't jeopardize others and drag them into decreasing their own life for your own selfish habit. Have some sense of sensitivity. Thank you.

Changes been made

I've chosen a new template for my blog. It's about time. I think it's better this way since I've always wanted all of the elements to be on the right side of my blog. If you knew me better, you would know that I am unlikely in making any changes. I pretty much hate changes if I must admit. I'm comfortable with everything staying the same. Including people. Sometimes it bothers me when people tend to change a lot. Especially after high school. But that's how life goes apparently. I have had people come and go in my life. Though it still bothers me sometimes, I learn to be okay with it and accept.

How do you know if what you're thinking about is normal ?

I have been questioning this every single day.

People behind my existence

Meant to do this earlier on my birthday. But haven't had the time to. This goes to my loving mother, whom I love with all my heart. I'm not good with words, but here it goes.

Dear Mama,

First and foremost, I love you I love you I love you ! You're basically my whole life. You've put me to the point where I can never imagine living without you. Just to think of it, makes me cry. I owe you my life Maa. And I know there's nothing in the world I could give you to make it up for everything that you've had done to raise me. Albeit, I was never tame and easy. I can only hope you're happy with what I have become because more or so, it reflects you. I hope I have made you happy. Because that is all I could give to repay because I have nothing else to offer. To everything great in me, it's always you behind it and thank you. And to everything not so great in me, must have come from myself. Ergo, I hope you'll always be there to help me become a better being to oneself. And God, let her stay with me through the longest of time.

21 years ago, you've put yourself into so much pain bringing me to life. I can never really find a reason why people should celebrate me instead of you. You risk your own life for me. You were never certain it will work, but you're willing to take it. And I know, the whole reason behind it is because you love me. Thank you Maa. Eventhough, I'm practically was a stranger to you because we never met before, you had tried your best to embrace me for 9 long months despite all off the difficulties because you love me. You carry me in your own body, and I bet it hurts and tiring, but you went through the long wait to let me get my own glimpse in life. Thank you thank you thank you Maa. Now, that's true love.

I'm sorry if I've made you cry before. I have no excuse for doing such sin despite all of the things you've sacrifice for me. And I'm sorry from all the fights we had when I was my rebel-teen self. You have had put up a lot. Thanks for being so patient and still loving me through it all, because I was really something back then. Thank you again Maa. I hope God will blessed you in this world and in the hereafter, and I hope He'll provide you with only the best that He has to offer. May Allah put you together and side-to-side with His greatest people. Amin. Lastly, I thank God for giving me the soul and let you be the mother of my soul. For I will never ask for another mother because I've had mine as the best out of all. I am indeed grateful.

Love from your daughter forever and always,
Nurfara Elisa Zainal

Also to Ayah, the bread winner to the family.

Dear Ayah,

I know I don't usually said this to you, but I hope you know that I love you. And for every reasons in the world for me to be proud, I'm proud of you. So proud ! The only reason why wherever I may go, I'm gladly happy to be carrying your name with mine. Instead of referring myself as Nurfara Elisa, I will always proud to refer myself as Nurfara Elisa Zainal instead. I bet most of the people who knows and remember my name, remember yours too. I am not who I am without you. So thank you Ayah (: Love you always. And thank you for being the reason I am standing alive now.

Much love from a very proud daughter,
Nurfara Elisa Zainal
