Goodbye Malaysia

I just found out that Miss ProudDuck and myself have something which is called Blogger's Syndrome. What's Blogger's Syndrome you ask?

1. You possess a heightened sense of responsibility when it comes to updating your blog. As you are incredibly busy during the day you are willing to stay up, even if it means until 2 a.m., just to update your own little corner in cyberspace.
2. You constantly think of possible blog material and thoughts such as these are not uncommon - "Ooh I'm so gonna blog about this!".
3. The amount of photos you take has significantly increased ever since you started blogging and this is caused by symptom number 2.
4. You talk about your blog when you meet your friends and then they catch the bug and decided to start blogging too.

Blogger's Syndrome is contagious!

My flight to New Zealand is TONIGHT and I've been so occupied the past 1 week. Sorry if I haven't replied to your comments and messages. There's just no time for it right now. I shouldn't even be online but I managed to sneak a few minutes in. My schedule is crazy busy and honestly, I haven't had enough sleep but I plan to do so during the entire 10 hour flight to Auckland, thank you very much! I spent the last 2 days doing some last minute shopping. By the way, I've never disliked shopping so much in my life. It was tiresome, rushed, I got into an argument with my mum and my feet hurts from all the walking.

I'm really sad to leave Malaysia... I don't think I'll be able to hold back my tears at the airport. I had the most amazing summer holiday ever and I'm grateful for everything - the smiles, hugs, tears, stress, laughter, excitement. My thoughts are all over the place right now so forgive me if this isn't coherent. I'm listening to 'Glitter in the Air' by Pink and I'm getting all sentimental and emotional! Thank you everyone for everything. You know who you are. I pray that everything goes well for all of us this year and hopefully we'll be able to see each other again end of this year. I'm gonna miss ALL OF YOU!!!!!!! ='(

Anyway let's focus on the good times! I had my farewell dinner with my closest friends @ Bijou recently. It's my favourite restaurant in KL at the moment. (Sorry for the terrible picture quality!)

Long time buddy, David! We were classmates when we were 12 and he used to be shorter than me. Look how grown up he is now lol. Thanks for reading my blog, Dave!

Oh if you're wondering why I'm wearing hijab a.k.a. the headscarf in these pics... it's because I'm sorta practicing to wear it full-time someday when I'm completely ready. Why? I'll blog about it soon!

Goodbye Malaysia! I will definitely miss you!!!!
