UMSA's Malam Malaysia - Revival of the Fairytale
the ball ticket tied in a soft maroon ribbon
Hehe.. I remembered the emcee saying, "Someone seemed to have lost his or her ticket. It's white and tied with a maroon ribbon."
outside joey's house:
Thinking back, it wasn't such a bad night, after all. I danced with John, which was very nice and romantic (XD)... although I have no idea how I even walked in my heels! The skit performance was quite hilarious, and more than made up for the poor organisation and food. Dressing up to the nines and putting on make up was quite fun too.. Thanks sis, for helping me and Kaelyn with our make up! What to do? We have nonexistent skills, hehe.

A Rose, A Ball and A Baby
#1: I received my very first flower from a boy! That boy is none other than You-Know-Who, of course.. It was a red, red rose. Despite me not liking roses because of their association with the very commercialised and overrated Valentines' Day, I was still very pleasantly surprised. Thank you, John! (yes, that's You-Know-Who's real name.. it's not Voldemort like you all guessed it to be)
#2: I'm going to the UMSA Ball on the 27th of August, which is on the first Sunday of the mid-sem break.. Perfect timing! The theme is "Revival of the Fairytales". I'd like very much to dress up as Little Red Riding Hood, but after seeing the costumes available for hire, I changed my mind. They're way too tacky, and the price is about the same as buying a dress. So, I've decided to buy a nice dress instead. :D Not gonna show pictures until after the ball, of course, but here's a sneak peak of what I'm wearing:
Pointy high heel shoes! The heels are about 6cm high.. so that would change my measly height from 154cm to 160cm!! I just hope my feet won't be killed in the process. Lol!
I'm really looking forward to the ball. Firstly, it's my first ball. Secondly, on the day of the ball, it will mark our 5-month anniversary! Hehe, such perfect timing.
#3: Last, but definitely not the least... the arrival of John's niece! Baby Charlene was born on the 4th of August, and on the 6th, I went to visit her (and her mum too!) at the hospital. I carried her for a bit. She was crying at first, but stopped when she was in my arms... Not that I'm all that special or anything (although I like to think I am special), because she started crying soon after. Bleh. Then, on the past Sunday, I visited baby Sharlene again... this time at her home. I held her in my arms for about an hour. For a tiny little thing, she sure is heavy! But since she's such an adorable little thing, I don't mind one bit. :D Cuteness sure goes a long way.. As can be expected, many pictures of her was taken. To see a couple of pictures, go to John's blog. One of it shows me carrying the baby!
That's all for now, folks. Will be back next time, with pictures! Adios!

Today
I learnt more about him as well as myself.
I said some words and did some things I thought I would never do.
Yet I've never felt more at peace.
Come what may, I will accept the consequences and results with an open heart.
No regrets.

Have You Seen The Key? (a story/poem thingy/whatever)
It was just like any other day, when
A girl decided to lock her heart.
Heavy chains, heavy padlock,
All to keep her heart from ever breaking.
She turned the key, 'Click!',
And threw the key far, far away.
She smiled to herself with satisfaction, and said,
"Aha! Some peace at last!"
She hid her heart back under the cage
And lived with the heavy burden.
She dragged her footsteps as she walked,
And wondered why she felt such pain.
A day came when her heart finally cried,
"I want to get out! I want to be free!"
The girl tried to tell her restless heart,
"I'm sorry, but I lost the key."
Together the girl and her aching heart
Searched high and low for the misplaced key.
The heart cried again and again,
"Let me out, before I burst and bleed!"
"Have you seen the key?" they asked.
"Have you seen the key to my heart?"
But no one knew where the dreaded key was,
For it was invisible and had no shape.
So the girl weeped as her heart began to die,
The bleeding, withering mess in her hands.
"Have you seen the key?" she sobbed.
"Have you seen the key?"
But in the end, it was to no avail,
The heart died and the girl died too.
So this is the moral of the story:
Never, ever throw a key away.

Fragile Innocence
Funny how innocence can come packaged in such a small, delicate bundle. How can something so great and so wonderful, be found in something so fragile?
Maybe that's why we treasured infants and children.. because true innocence can only be found in the very young. After all, we all get tainted in this age of corruption. No one can truly claim to be innocent in this world of murder, sex, lies, and crime.
And so we try to protect the young from corruption, even if it's impossible to do so. Like us, they must learn to grow in this treacherous environment, to know right from wrong, to make their own decisions and learn from their mistakes, and most importantly, they must learn to become independent.
But for now, we shall treasure them and their precious, precious innocence.. We yearn for what we ourselves cannot have.
