.:Izyanic Inclinations:.: All the small things.

It just so happens that I'm ushering the New Year's by being a total mess (nothing new there).

I've caught a cold even tho I've taken meticulous precautions to stay extra healthy. Those pathogenic organisms just know where to find me - 3 winters in a row, no less! Sigh~ The thing i hate most about colds is that you don't feel well enough to enjoy your day but you're also not sick enough to stay in bed and be pampered. It's a ugly battle between good and evil, and evil is winning the race by a yard. What's worse is that it was my turn cooking yesterday, so I'm pretty sure i spread some vicious germs into the food without meaning to. I just hope none of my housemates gets sick and start blaming me.

It's official, I'm broke. If any of you read my last post, i mentioned something about an accident. No one got hurt, Alhamdullillah. But we weren't insured and since the car crash was our fault, we had to pay for the damages. It amounted to thousands and thousands of Euro (i'll leave the specifics out). Just times that with 5 and... voila!: enough money to buy another car in Malaysia (a cheap one of cos). We've all had to max out our credit cards. I even had to use the money i've been saving up for my wedding day (before you start getting the wrong idea, i'm not getting married anytime soon!). Sigh~ there's goes the professional photographer and banquet-style reception. There goes my dream wedding day~ Oh well, they say low-key weddings are the in-thing nowadays, huh? (sedapkan hati) My dad offered to help out, but i just don't think it's right to accept his offer. I can't keep running to Daddy every time something bad crops up. This year, I'll deal with all my problems like an adult! Yes i will! =)

I've been reading about the bloodshed in Gaza, about the horrors of the bombings. I'm appalled at how the crisis is spiraling further out of control. It makes all my petty problems seem utterly insignificant. The Israelis say it's self defense. BS! It's genocide, and they know it!! They're deviously taking away innocent lives and trying to wipe off a nation while the rest of the world remain blinded by the coming of a new year. We need to act NOW! Put international pressure to make them stop. A ceasefire at least, if not total peace. (Please don't ask me how. I'm trying to figure that out myself) "Ya Allah, save our brothers and sisters in Palestine. Give them strength to get through these trying times."

Hmm. Anyway, I've promised pictures. So here there are. I'll probably upload a couple more later when i get my hands on pictures from Paan's camera.
