and that's when the elephants and penises started dancing on the ceiling

LIFE IS BLISS
and summer's a coming -
so take me to a place where the birds sing,
and the sky is blue.
Where the air is fresh,
and the people smile.

just take me to wherever you are,
because that's where i'll always want to be.

there are two things that not many people know about me

one of them is that i love dandelions, i do.
every morning, i pick one from the grass and blow.
trying every single time to get them all in the air with a single, hard huff.
these magical things excite me to an extent you wouldn't believe.
i want nothing more than to run.
to run in a field of nothing but dandelions.

i love dandelions.

as for the second thing:
i'd tell yu, but then i'd have to kill you :)

she dropped the top of her ferrari, cruise the street

21 DAYS.
amee and i depart in 21 days.
TWENTY ONE !
I must say, that at this point in time,
the part of my trip that I am looking forward to most
HAS to be: MY TRAVEL DIARY
my obsession with notebooks nd paper
is as crazy as the one with dandelions :)
i cannot wait to fill this with AWESOME shiz.


the front has already been personalised
"the travel adventures of fatti + amee"

day to day stuff,
weather, adventures for the day, travel buddies
(sorry for the shitty pictures,
a photographer I am not. hahahha)

spending log

nd one of them old school envelopes
to keep shiz in =D

ASIA, see yu in twenty one =D

nodding my head like yea, moving my hips like yea

it's the 12th day of ramadhan,
and routine is just about to settled in.
(do keep in mine that i am so entirely allergic
to any from of long term commitment/routine -
a month is pretty much my cut off point,
so fasting JUST makes the cut).
i'm so completely drained in every imaginable way
- and have been for the past 12 days.
everything i do feels so completely half-arsed.
i don't even feel like i'm eating sincerely.
yes, i know. tragedy.

THIS is what my days are like:
4oo am - awake to eat an uber early breakfast, + pray
5oo am - go back to sleep
8oo am - wake up for school, & attempt to make myself semi presentable in a half hour; i fail more than i succeed.
83o am - try and leave the house, ( this is usually delayed to 845 on 4 out of 5 days =P )
9oo am - run my ass to rollcall before miss cerkases completes the roll.
915 am - begin classes
315 pm - leave concrete jungle/randwick girls and walk up to the junction to catch a bus home
405ish pm - return home to mommas nagging voice, and sleep/do homework/tutor little shit till
545 pm - this is when the fast is broken. we eat, then pray, then eat again.
7oo pm - leave for the mosque to pray taraweh
93o pm - arrive home after a long arse prayer. do more work/read/jack shit
113o pm (at the EARLIEST) - sleep.

and repeaaaaaaat.
as you can see I am getting shit all sleep.
i dont even LIKE sleep, nor find it necessary,
yet i want it for the next 17 hours ++

apologies for the whiney post.
I hope this brightens yur day :

long-time listener, but a first time call

mama & papa got sucked into some current affair segment
about how V, mother and red bull are bad for you
( like who cares ! )
So anyway, now they're convinced that if any of us at home drink it
we're gunna die.
Hence the banning of the three drinks in the Alias Casa
UGH

but Adam (amee's bf) treated me nd her to some V,
nd so we had to hide it in her cupboard :) LOL

two days later she founf it,
nd schitzed it at us.
EPIC FAIL

me, amee and hames played JENGA !
epic-est game EVER.

*sigh, i need a pair of these in my life

xx, fatti :)

we're chasing vodka with high-fives

Meet my brother.
If you're not familiar w/ take you down by Chris Brown,
then go and listen to it now because this wont make sense.
for you stupid ones: yes, this IS a joke :)
ENJOY !

a critic and a skeptic, a traitor - i'd trade her in a second

alors, its the big sisters birthday tomorrow,
nd after school i went to eastgardens to buy her the phone that she wanted
but it was out of stock,
in BOTH places uuggghh.
so I made a card and a little baggy thing

like so,
and placed the $500 dollars innit :)
I'm very proud, because my artistic level is like ZERO,
nd so, turning a plain white envolope into THAT ^
is like a huge accomplishment

xx

getting intoxicated every weekend, he makes my heart go ooh ooh ooh

it is day 5 of fasting, and i am so
TIRED
only another 25 days to go before adequate amounts of sleep are possible.
*sigh

yesterday the big sister, amee, bought me this audrey book !
hahaha, she txted me the other day during school
saying she bought me present.
I had a feeling it was the book, but didnt wanna get my hopes up.
but then when i got home, BAM ! there it was =D
it is now my most prize posession, wooo.

I am so completely infatuated by her

hahaha, okay now I am off to break my fast and eat this cake i have been drooling over for the past few hours !
YUMYUMYUM

i'm sorry i can't be the right kind of monster for you

everyone, this is ryan.
or babies as i like to call him :)
he is the best ungay best friend a chica could ask for !
i def love him like a fat kid loves cake.
in fact, i love him like i love kebabs,
hahahah.

we're like a married couple, we are.
he sits on the couch with my head in his lap,
sharing an ipod and complaining about each others choice of song
while he plays with the DS
and i complete my sodukos.
he laughs at me because i have to use white out,
sometimes.

momma even loves him more than she does me :(

babies is props the reason why i hate relationships.
having him around is commitment enough !
hhahhah :)

i want this forever, i swear i can spend whatever on it

decent clothing
no swearing
constant tiredness

finally, the best part of the year has come (Y) its ramadan, and so we muslims fast :) being a 'holy' month and all, every night is spent praying at the mosque, returning home at a late hour with no time to do school work, then awaking at like 430 to have breakfast as we cant eat for the day T.T practically living at the mosque also means all the shorts and singlets are pushed to the back of the cupboard, and the bearzeroskin clothes come out. UGH, if theres one thing i hate, its having to wear full length pants =.= swearing is not allowed too, because if yu do yur fast SOO doesnt count. + the odd waking/sleeping hours make me TIRED THE WHOLE MONTH THROUGH. you'd think that id be used to it huh ? having fasted for like the past 7 years, but nay. a princess needs her sleep ! but as far as swearing goes, im happy i have to stop doing it. seeing as i swear like trailer trash and have been trying to stop for like YEARS on end, i hope NOT doing it becomes habit and i wont rely on filthy language anymore :)

hahaha, i dont know if as a muslim, im actually allowed to say this, but i dont particularly enjoy fasting. i mean, if there's one thing that everyone knows about me, its that i love eating, and fasting forbids me from doing that ! LOL, nevertheless, it still remains my favourite time of year :) throughout the other 11 months that i spend not fasting, i have little or no power over my body, partly beacuse im lazy as **** (cant swear, LOL), but also because i just tell myself not to bother because eventually i'll give up and fail. but this one month of the whole year, i feel as though i have complete power of my body because i can tell myself to stop eating :) who knew starving was healthy for the mind ? hahahaha but yesyes, fasting makes me feel king =D its also believed that during this sacred month, Allah locks up all the devils, and so the desicions we make are entirely ours, and have no inlfuence from the satan whatsoever. see ? this month gives me power beyond belief ! ahahaha.

but above any other power-influenced reason, my favourite part of fasting is family. i see my cousins and aunties and uncles non stop during the month. we always get together to break our fast, hence eating like pigs and putting on disgraceful amounts of weight :) we pray together, and then try really hard not to gossip or b***h, as that isnt allowed too :) hhahaha, we fail ALOT more often then we succeed, but its fun trying !

as yesterday was the very first day of fastingg, all the fambam got together at aunty shidahs house in beverly hills to eateateat ! it was the first one of the year, so of course it was lovely to do it with the cousinss++ :) before i left the house i told myself to bring the camera so i can show yu pictures of how we usually do things, but didnt remember till i was in the car halfway there =.= after eating then praying then eating again, my other aunty sent me, my brother and two other of cousins to get the stuff to make teh tarik (which is malay for tea pull ?) from her place. on the way there, instead of doing things the PROPER way, my NON-LISCENCED cousin decided to drive as apposed to my completely legal brother T.T ugghh, as i was sitting shotgun, they started cracking jokes about how if we got pulled over, i'd be the one busted and wouldnt be able to get my lisence till im 21. obviously i believed them and shat myslf the whole way. im semi like the youngest ones of my cousins, and so i HATE it when they pull me into their illegal schemes. okay fine, driving wthout a lisence isnt that big a deal, but it was to me last night for the 15 minutes that i was riding shotgun. and its a $400 dollar fine if you get caught !

after returning safely to beverly hills with all limbs attached, we prayed a little more, then like me and 10 of cousins went into the piano room where they had DS tetris wars :) ahahah, after they failed to beat abang imran, half of them left and kak mel brought out the STACK of music sheets. i went through most of them (there was WAY too many !) and picked the songs i wanted her to play. she plays the piano like a friggen prooo, and so needed no practice :) she played while i sang - this was clearly for fun as my voice is as soothing as a cat dying. we did all good ones like: aint no mountain high, the special two, lean on me, stand by me, beauty and the beast, hero, no one, if i aint got you, part of your world and somebody to love. there are about a biljillion more (as we were going for like 3 hours) but i cant really think of them :) hhahaha, about an hour into the music session, one of my uncles came in and started playing the guitar. so kak mel played a thousand miles on the piano, uncle rick echoed with the guitar and i ruined it all with my singing. it was waaaaay fun ! after a couple of hours passed, hanis and qistina took over singing, while me and ryan laid down on the couch behind them. he was playing DS and i was doing sudokus ( I DID SEVEN, WOOO ). i dont remember why, but i didnt stop laughing for the rest of the night. i dont even think anything was funny really.

at about half past midnight, momma came to the back of the house and collected ameerah, hames and I to go home. after screaming ten more minutes about three times, we gave in and left with her. upon entering the car, i looked up and saw STARS ! yea, we dont get that in coogee :( hahahha. we got home at like a little pass one. i listened to everyone in the house fall asleep while i played soliatire for another hour and a half, weeee.

bleeh, sorry sorry, i dont want this blog to be one of those recountingwhatididthroughoutthweek blogs, but i couldnt help myself today. i just loveee this time of year ! it wont happen often, PROMISE !
