Where the Merlion Stands:)

Dramatic title <3
It makes a good read.

so I went to Singapore. Stayed in a service apartment on Orange Grove,and it was a walk-able distance to the haven, Orchard Road. The apartment was nice, vintagey and wooden.. with 2 rooms, 2 bathrooms, a kitchen and a decent living room (decent?? it had a flat screen tv, a dvd player, some Sony speakers and a very comfy couch.).

We went to the zoo, bird park and science centre, all very educationally entertaining.
entertaining doesnt even cut it. it was spectacular.

Then it was shopping. oh how i love that word. SHOPPING.
I went too:

Esplenade at Suntec city

so there you go:) more pictures to come:) bye

Weekend Events, Life of A Butterfly:)

Saturday:
my darling friend;s birthday party. her house was like out of city and not in google map, so i did major major research on it. When we found the house we were like, omg, there it is!!!!!
Okay, so we dipped our legs in the pool, played hide and seek( shuddup, reliving the childhood moment here!!) and ate, a lot. owh, i had some major stains on my clothes that made me gasp, wash my hands, and smother the stain in soap. And we were all like,"open the pressies!!" and so on. enough told there.
Sunday:
Woke up at like, 10?? and my dad was like hurry!hurry! and i was walking around the house , half awake and hungry, trying to locate my towel. After the torment of showers, we went out and bought whatever was the necessaries and went back home. And i was writing a text message, planning to send it to , i dont know, someone, and decided not to and let the message enter the drafts folder.

So there you go, my not so average weekend in which i did not spend anytime to think about school.

Laughter Yoga

strange, but it exists. while i wait for my pics on my social network to upload, im going to talk about laughter yoga, or at least, be a copy dog about it:)

Laughter Yoga - A Unique Concept

Laughter Yoga is a revolutionary idea – simple and profound. An exercise routine, it is sweeping the world and is a complete wellbeing workout. 

The brainchild of Dr. Madan Kataria, a Physician from Mumbai, India, launched the first Laughter Club at a Park on March 13, 1995, with merely a handful of persons. Today, it has become a worldwide phenomenon with more than 6000 Social Laughter Clubs in about 60 countries. 

Laughter Yoga combines Unconditional Laughter with Yogic Breathing (Pranayama). Anyone can Laugh for No Reason, without relying on humor, jokes or comedy. Laughter is simulated as a body exercise in a group; with eye contact and childlike playfulness, it soon turns into real and contagious laughter. The concept of Laughter Yoga is based on a scientific fact that the body cannot differentiate between fake and real laughter. One gets the same physiological and psychological benefits.

Law of Nature

The Law:
That every living thing must die.

That one law took away the life of Garfield, a cat that offered me companionship and indirect loyalty, he came every morning to do figure 8 at  my feet and purr as i scratch his chin.
His life, ended on the 31st of October. He died alone, near a bus stop, on the grass. His eyes were cloudy and flies and ants covered him by the dozens.
He wasn't injured, there were no obvious injury, just died when it was time.
We( me and fellow buddies) dug a grave for him, we shovelled with sticks, twigs, branches, a wedding placard  and a horizontally cut 1 litre mineral water bottle. It took us an hour, and when we buried him, we forgot to close his eyes.
A speech was read out and we sprinkled water and random leaves over his grave. I could not cry. Try as I might, the tears refused to give out.
I'll visit him everyday if I could, but right now, I don't think I can.
I'l bring flowers next time, baby. Just wait.
I wont leave you. See you later.

The Truth

"O Prophet! Tell thy wives and daughters and the believing women, that they should cast their outer garments over their persons (when outside) : so that they should be known (as such) and not molested".


O children of Adam, we have provided you with garments to cover your bodies, as well as for luxury. But the best garment is the garment of righteousness. These are some of God's signs, that they may take heed. (7:26)



And tell the believing women to subdue their eyes, and maintain their chastity. They shall not reveal any parts of their bodies, except that which is necessary. They shall cover their chests, and shall not relax this code in the presence of other than their husbands, their fathers, the fathers of their husbands, their sons, the sons of their husbands, their brothers, the sons of their brothers, the sons of their They shall not strike their feet when they walk in order to shake and reveal certain details of their bodies. All of you shall repent to God, O you believers, that you may succeed.* (24:30-31)


So,no people.
what is it with your uncovered chests, your hair tied as high as camel humps?
go back to the quran and read, understand and follow Allah's command.
Do not say Allah has not given you hidayah, for Hidāyah (Arabic: هداية‎) is an Arabic word meaning 'guidance' (given by Allah). It can also refer to guidance from the Qur'an and according to the Sunnah.


People: there is a saying " People who has Iman, will ear the hijab, but those wearing hijab, not necessarily will have Iman.


A reminder for us. You never know when you will die.

The Room Dilemma. Again.

I solved it.
my ceiling is to be the nicest shade of purple, one of my walls are to be wallpapered with a world map or nice wallpaper, the other walls would be neutral creamy colours. My curtains are to be gorgeously not transparent nor translucent. my very comfy garishly coloured beanbag shall be in the centre of the room on top of my pretty multi coloured rug. and yours truly here is going to persuade dearest Mama to give me a cheap bookcase, ... and i shall put the cutest shmallest cactus pot on my study table.
i have planned it out.
And i absolutely love and adore it because it is so.. me and purple:)
any opinions??
