· So let’s see, in September, there was the coalition which was awesome for me because I managed to find great friends in acquaintances that I never thought would be close to me. The kids kept me busy while chouchou was in camp serving his last month of national slavery!

Coalition gig was alright as well. Chouchou had himself tattooed prior to the gig. You should take a look at his colorful sleeves and the whimsical phrases Mary and Vanessa wrote on him. Hilarious as hell.

· I finally made a new friend in NUS!! Someone I can smoke with in the dungeon. Ayna, part Iranian part Turkish, grew up in Australia and Denmark and travelled to Sweden and practically all over the world. She’s the sweetheart teaching me Danish at the moment, which I’m totally bad at.

· Anyhoo, after October there was raya. Which I wasn’t a fan of, as everyone would have known by now. I dreaded the visiting, the wearing of baju kurung, even though everyone thought I looked timelessly elegant and what not. It was still so dreadful. The sinful food, most of which contain meat so I can’t eat them anyhow, added to the fact that each house serves the exact same “raya food”. The insincere one lined apology, which I finally managed to standardize the night before raya. “selamat hari raya, maaf zahir batin, sorry I don’t visit you more often” yea it’s bullcrap I know. But heck, I just welcome them green packets with open arms. Hoho.

· Anyway, post raya was spent mostly in school or out with chouchou or with the kids. Hoho. He
ORD-ed on the 19^th and we had a mini celebration with nunu and ahmad, who are now officially together. It’s nice to have one of your best friends hook up with your boyfriend’s best friend. And they’re like 2 peas in a pod. Adorable.

· I GOT MARY JANES! Sometime before the 19^th I think. Yeaps. There was like one pair left in Singapore and if I didn’t get them I’d have to buy them online so chouchou decided to get them for me before it gets sold to the next person! Blisters on my feet were all worth it cos MJs are so darned pretty! Hannah’s still asking around if any of the guys with smaller feet would be selling off their Doc Marten boots for me. And then I shall be complete! Nyahaha.

· Shopping with the parents where they spent about $1.5k in a day. Insane I know but I bought myself 2 dresses, one from Warehouse and another from Island Shop, 3 pairs of stockings and a very nice bra from Marc and Spencer. I still have yet to get my plaited mini skirt that I can wear with my MJs.

· THRASHFEST! On the 20^th was fucking awesome. Everyone was there except for chouchou. Hannah, Shahidah, Debbie, Mas, Shai, Hahafiz, Syams, Hams, Yati, Haliff, Wan Krang, Zhafran with his new hair, Nobit, Kadir, Badak, James, EP. EVERYONE was there. And the whole gig was insanely fun. The guys were sweet as usual, taking care of everyone and I got closer to Ain which was nice. Post gig chalet was great as well. Although me and syams couldn’t really play the damn PS2 games they had, all of us ended up talking and laughing the night through. It was really cozy and I’m so glad I didn’t miss the chalet. Although I gave that nice Straight Answer guy the wrong dvd and now I feel totally bad about the whole thing. I need to mail him sometime soon. Oh and great news! Eedie’s expecting a baby! And he’s so excited u can see him glow literally. Plus now that he’s staying in jurong east, we decided that if I wasn’t going to a chalet he could cab me home the next time. Thanks bro. It’s just too bad chouchou was busy with relatives, and now he feels really crabby about the whole thing. Haha.

· We celebrated my birthday on Monday, a nice private celebration, just the 2 of us. It was very cuddly and mindblowing as well. Thank you dear. And thanks for those 21 flowers you diligently folded for me. Chouchou’s the sweetest, if you don’t already know. Sometimes I feel like eating him up. Monday was really what we needed. Time for us, ok make that quality time for the both of us since we were both busy prior to this.

· Post birthday, we spent more time together, got closer to each other (as if we weren’t already close enough), and learnt to accept and embrace each other’s mistakes as we solved disagreements together. Things are going really well with Chouchou and I’m really happy now. There are of course occasional quarrels but we manage to talk things out and end up in each other’s arms again that night.
