Flashbacks


i'm on my rooftop again. this place is my haven. the world disappears when i'm up here. the only thing that kept me going on my walk home was the thought of coming up here. it's just 1430 so there are cars still out there and people bustling about their business, but come up here at about 0300 and it’s dead silent. just a girl, the dark starry night and well, you know how it works.

The bathroom stand

Remember i promised to tell this story a while back? We'll here it is..

I had woken up one Wednesday morning feeling groggy then recalled that i'd made reservations (due for pickup) at Argos. So i pulled my lazy ass out of bed and went to get it. Anyway, the man at the counter made a comment as he handed me the box.
      "You're going to need to get a man to help you put that up."
It irked! Who said i couldn't put it up myself? I think my mumbled reply was something like, "We'll see about that."
So, i bought the necessary tools and set to work on it myself. I read the manual (while having a sandwich) and the end result, if i do say so myself, was neat!

See for yourself..

The famous bathroom stand. 

So yes, I do not need a man to fix anything for me. (but i won't argue if he offers free foot massages after school or perhaps breakfast in bed) *dreamy look*

*clears head*

I got an anonymous comment about adding a 'Twitter button'. First of all, thank you very much for the suggestion. Secondly, I did try but it doesn't work. I have no idea why, but then you have to take into consideration that fact that technology and i aren't particularly close. I'll try again though. :)

The umbrella charm
Being back in Braddie means back to work. I had a full day of lectures today and, because i still haven't invested in an umbrella, walked back home in the rain. I love the rain more than the average person but even I can't take this much of it 5 days a week. The last time i went out to get an umbrella, i ended up buying an umbrella charm for my bracelet. Ha! Bin2's expression was priceless!! :D


Go away with some knowledge:

Weird fact : Americans on average eat 18 acres of pizza everyday.
Jasmeen Says : Pizza! hmm.. yum! That settles what i'm having for dinner! :)

Home Sweet Braddie!

So it's 1:58am and i'm unpacking, cleaning and singing along (a.k.a doing terrible injustice) to "I will survive". I'm listening to old classics again. This song feeds my soul.

I'm back in Braddie. Didn't cry when i left the folks but i was close (so very close!) But i love being back in my own space.. Plus i missed Truffles, Booboo and RooQie. A mother can't stand to be away from her kids for too long after all! :)

From right: RooQie, Truffles and Booboo! 


Anyway, as much as i'd love to stay and tell you more i have to run. 9am lectures later.

Dream in colour!

Kal ho na ho

It seems so unlike me to make an entry so soon after the last one but i figured i had to make time for anything and everything that mattered to me NOW. Tomorrow might never come (hence the title). 

On my way home from lectures today, i was struck by just how beautiful Braddie was and how at home and content i feel here. Definitely one of the best decisions i ever made. I took some pictures too (with my phone). I am no photographer but i do think they look really nice.


Braddie in Autumn! Simply loving it.. 



I love the whole new plant growing out of a barren wasteland thing. Kind of like the Phoenix emerging from the ashes! 







No, I wasn't stalking. I loved how and where she stood. It was a moment.



Rooftop of Nattarg! My favourite place! :)

Long, lonely flight home. Sounds familiar.


So this is here because i'd secretly hoped he'd fall and i'd laugh. Yes, i' m evil.

So, now that that is done. I have Immunology to study for. I don't sound very excited, do i? *Sigh* On the plus side i bought me some new boots and they're gorg! That should get me through tomorrow (which by the way, is the start of my weekend!). Yes, i am happy now!

Rotten luck.

i'm not having a good day. not even bearable. i went out for some last minute shopping, withdrew some cash and (here's the kicker) LOST IT! That was the trigger my system needed to crash. i have been teetering on the edge for a while now. barely hanging by the thread but i fought it. i wouldnt let the vast but minute problems in my life outweigh the good. precious moments and all that. but i cant do it anymore. i fight it but life just seems to knock me down harder. and i have no more fight left in me. i want to just curl up in my room for the next decade or so. maybe even longer. i try to be a good person - do the right thing, say the right thing - most of the time, so i cant understand how i keep getting knocked out. maybe i should change sides.

so party plans for tonight are cancelled. i cant muster the energy to smile, laugh and dance. not today. i have a migraine anyway..

.. but i also have a conscience. i couldn't back out on her. i mean i could, but i wont. whose fault is it that i cant seem to make sense of anything? definitely not hers.

i'm just tired. i wanna go back home. i mean my REAL home. in the midst of my haploid donors and their other successfully fertilized embryos. either that or move to the mountains. i'm messed up right now.. definitely NOT good company but i have a Madear in my head. And what i can hear her saying is, "Suck it up and shut the fuck up. Life will always push you down. what you need to do is take control and push it harder, dress up and have a great time tonight. if you don't, you lose and they win. which do you want?"

Did i mention that i was wearing the cutest blazer tonight with my favorite stilettos? oh! and the most adorable earrings. will be sure to post a picture. I hope that answers your question Madear.

Chasing vamps, time travel and other things..

I've been away for a while and quite frankly I missed this. Curling up in a corner with my laptop to just write. But as the title suggests I've been busy. Bin2 and I unraveled the secrets and mysteries of Braddie, time traveled to the early 20's and chased a vampire kid (at human pace, so we lost him).. all before dinner! We're like teen superheroes now - Braddie's very own Kim Possible and Ron Stoppable. (B's Ron of course, but don't tell her I said so) :)

In other news, I'M DONE WITH MY EXAMS! I'm no longer a first year student! *huge grin* After undergoing 2 years of A-levels while watching my high school mates get into uni, this is a huge accomplishment for yours truly. Thank you very much!

I'll be leaving Braddie in 8days IsA. It's bittersweet, cuz somehow Brad's home now too, you know. But Bin2's been here and that's made it a whole lot more fun! Plus, I MIGHT be seeing her over the summer too. Yippee!
All in all, everything's been running smoothly over the past couple of days (Reproductive Biology excluded). I probably should make a summer to-do list. It would include driving lessons (don't ask why I haven't done it this whole time), work experience (local hospital, perhaps) and RANGO! ♥

Oh! I also started another blog, Juicy RainDrops! The atmosphere there will be quite different. More Marie than Jasmeen. And most of it will definitely be fictional. The colourful and beautiful things in la-land.. through Marie's rose-colored glasses. Keep an eye out! x
