But most of all, what really attracted me to her was her manner. She laughed a lot, and it's easy to fall for someone who can find humor in any situation. She was also intelligent, well read and well spoken, willing to listen and confident in her beliefs. And most of all, she was warm.

Nicholas Charles Spark is amazing. That is why he is number two on my hot favourite. But everyone knows I'm not a fool for love. Have never been fond of love stories and yet, I'm in love with his romance novels. How contradicting. But that quote that I picked out above, yes, that one up there, it got me going, "Oh boy, I want to be that girl. I'd love to be that girl."

Everyone knows Jodi Lynn Picoult, the bestselling author, stands at number one. Always have, always will.

• She's an ingenious author.
• She's a solid, lively storyteller.
• She writes with unassuming brilliance.
• It's hard to exaggerate how well she writes.
• She's great at creating a compelling courtroom drama.
• One part romance, one part courtroom thriller, two parts social commentary.
• Most of her novels mainly centers around family, relationships and yes, love.
• She has a remarkable ability to make us (or rather, just me) share her character's feelings.
• She writes with a fine touch, a sharp eye for detail, and a firm grasp of the delicacy and complexity of human relationships.
• She has become a master - almost a clairvoyant - at targeting hot issues and writing highly readable page-turners about them.
• It is impossible not to be held spellbound by the way she forces us (again, rather just me) to think hard about the right and the wrong.
• "Nothing is ever all said and done in a Picoult novel. One can imagine the ripples of these characters' lives echoing on and on, even after the last page has been turned. Odds are, you'll wish you hadn't turned it." - San Antonio Express-News.
  

Hi there, Shehnaz! I hope you`re reading this!

Well, okay, I find the above equation involving woman incredibly amusing, and somehow, I sort of agree with it. Woman=Problems. Oh c'mon, I know all the guys would be nodding their heads right now. Am I right?

I don't know what's with me and equations lately. Syam (a friend of mine) asked me to simplify 2i < 6u (probably testing my intelligence, told you I've zero by the way, didn't I!) earlier today. I actually asked three other guys and even googled it. You must be thinking why in the world would someone google a math equation. And by now, you must have already figured it out and wondered why did I take such a long time to figure that out. I took more than five minutes to figure that, by the way. And guess what the answer is? i <3 u. Even Hykal's younger brother could figure that out in less than a minute. Oh boy. I'm s-l-o-w, oh what's that, right, slow.

So anyway, I felt slightly better yesterday and even stepped out of the house, after hours of contemplating whether or not I should. Had lunch with Mommy, Aunty Sherissa, Uncle Francis and Valentina at Northpoint's Manhattan Fishmarket in the afternoon. I was the main topic of the day - where I'd be going, what I plan to do in the near future and the normal not so interesting stuffs. But lunch was good, and I sure was full. Met up with Arvinder after lunch and took a bus to Tampines for the interview. Waved at Marcus Ngo Li Wen from inside the bus, his reaction was totally hilarious! I swear. I got the job, I'm excited! Apparently, Jedi's working there too, but at the Parkway Parade. O`well. Anyway, had Frolick after the interview, walked around the mall trying to search for the things I wanted to buy but couldn't find them there, and then took the bus home with her. It was actually the first time we ever went out together despite being friends for, say, 8 years? Yeah, it was great though. I can't wait to work with you, sweetheart!

Dinner last night with my Inno friends at Plaza Singapura`s Pizza Hut was awesome! (But seriously, I'm we're never going there again!) Despite all the hilarious incidents that took place (you can read all about it at Shehnaz's journal!), we still had an enjoyable time. Awesome rocking good time, yeah, like we did at Escapade. Celebrated Qayyum's birthday as well. Happy turning legal, dude! Was pretty upset that some of them couldn't join us, especially Dhivya baby, or else it had been even more loud, right! Left Plaza Singapura like at 11pm, was rushing for time and I felt really bad 'cuz I couldn't wait up for Sabrina (I'm so sorry, sweetheart! I'll make it up to you! And tell me all about the wavehouse party when you see me okay, I totally missed it!)

Anyway, I got really freaked out on my journey back to Khatib. Like, there was this scrawny old lady, probably in her 50s, squatting down right infront of me, and mumbling to herself while staring into space. So, I thought maybe she wanted my seat or something. I mean, I would've gladly given up my seat and I did, by the way. But she was still mumbling to herself and the train stops at Toa Payoh, which was like a stop before I actually stood up, she walked away, dragging her bag with her. I swear my hair stood up.

O`well, reached Khatib like fifteen minutes before midnight and Hykal was already waiting (so sorry, dudeeeee!), so walked home with him right up till my house! Had like a bitching session at home with mommy, which was really fun. She drives me insane, in a good way, and Hykal thinks she's the bomb! Well, I think so too! Totally zonked out the minute I landed on my bed till about two in the morning, when Hykal told me to look out the window. I was hesitating at first because I didn't wanna go all the way down and to the balcony, but I did so anyway. But unfortunately, because I was still in a state of confusion and I was really exhausted, I couldn't really see what he wanted to show me. I tried so hard to open my eyes and stared at the sky, searching for green rays, but couldn't find any. And then daddy came downstairs at the .. very wrong timing 'cuz I think Hykal pointed it down to the road or something, and told me to go to bed. And I did, feeling pretty upset, because I was really anticipating it. But ohwell, he said he's gonna show it to me again, and even said I'll definitely love it. I know I will. He's a great friend, the sweetest thing ever. Like what I've told him, I'm not letting him go. I'm not letting go of such a good friend. Honestly, it's difficult to find a friend like him.

Green stars, the beauty of having such a great friend. And the best thing about living opposite one another, we can actually do cool stuffs and show it to each other, and yeah, just communicate just like that. I think my life's about to get interesting! It already is. My girls are still the love of my life. I miss each and every single one of you. I'm finally getting porridge for breakfast tomorrow with Jannah.

And is it just me or have I been talking about my daily life way too much lately?

XOXO♥

Don't waste your time worrying about boys - boys will come and go. Don't waste your time caring about the people who don't like you - chances are, you don't like them either. Don't waste your time worrying if people are talking about you - you affected their lives, they didn't affect yours.

Waste your time with friends - live for the moment, laugh often, be immature, do anything and everything. If it's something you'll regret in the morning, sleep late and when you wake up, laugh about it with your friends, cause your friends are what matter most.

When you have friends, you have everything.

XOXO♥
