of F1 and Singapore

to be honest, im not a fan of F1.

i was watching F1 at uncle's place and i realized how beautiful our country is.

the skyscrapers, lights... simply just like monaco and those race track that u saw in the arcade.

man in white really makes our country prosperous and beautiful.

xoxo,

a proud singaporean.

First day of Hari Raya

i spent most of the time sleeping during raya visits due to the lack of slp on the night of raya. i went to bed at 12am and woke up at 4am in the morning to get ready. i hafta go off back to Kampung and i didn't manage to slp in the car cause dad was driving at 160km/h. no joke. i feel like i was on F1 track.

the moment i reach kampung, i slept together with Elydia.

the moment i reach aunt's house, i slept again.

this is my brief summary of my first day hari raya.

thanks to all friends for the wishes be it in FB, MSN, SMSes. i hope u all had a great raya this year despite me getting lesser collection. but it's the time with friends and families that matters most. i would like to seek for forgiveness if i had done anything wrong to u or did something which you dislike. afterall, im just human that can't escape from mistakes.

till then, selamat hari raya. maaf zahir dan batin.

Eid Mubarak

selamat hari raya aidilfitri to all!

i will be going back to kampung early in the morning after subuh prayers and i still havent pack my stuffs. will be back in singapore in the noon. take care of yourself and hope u enjoy your day later on. dress up well, girls! time to put on that make up, beautiful accessories, new clothes and also, the high heels. hehe.

till then, goodbye. will update about raya soon.

keampunan ku pohon sekiranya aku yang berdosa. (;

beauty of friendship

no matter how good or bad my friends are, i have the right to choose. it's not always about influence. did u see me change in any way then? did i just had my piercing done? did i just left my friends for another group friends?

each and everyone of my friends have their own speciality that matches with parts of my characters. to think that some people could just forsake some friends just because of one small thing is totally ridiculous. friends are like your lover/bf/fiance/husband. they mean the world to u. who do u come running to when u have problems?

i can never imagine life without friends and the close ones. each day we make new friends and it's totally a blessing from God to show or remind us that we are not alone in this world. there are others to be with us throughout our life in this world. never will i trade any of my friendships for anything else cause friends are like gems that are priceless.

it is;

a bank or credit on which we can draw supplies of confidence, counsel, sympathy, help and love.
a watch which beats true for all time, and never "runs down."
a balancing pole to him who walks across the tight rope of life.
the link in life's long chain that bears the greatest strain.
a harbor of refuge from the stormy waves of adversity.
one who considers my need before my deserving.
the jewel that shines brightest in the darkness.
a stimulant to the nobler side of our nature.
a star of hope in the clouds of adversity.
a diamond in the ring of acquaintance.

friendship-one soul in two bodies.

that's the beauty of friendship in my eyes.

mixed nationality

i've been making people guessing what's my race and nationality eversince i grow older. people just can't decide what race i am cause they will keep asking or assuming. so i've got people judging that im an Indonesian. do i look like a freaking maid here? okay let's assume what they mean is that i look like those sinetron actress like Revalina, Nia.. aku tau aku tak tau malu. but can't help it sometimes.

while some think that i look like a filipino. hello? i ain't christian. Muslim okayy.. i no longer wear the necklace with the big 'I' as my pendant cause most of them thought it was a CROSS. I simply stands for my name Insyirah. get it?

okay next, Vietnamese. i got no comments on this. simply said, they must be lacking of eyes. we need more optometrist for them, please?

last but not least, Thailand. wah, my classmates like to call me a Thai and they even wanted me to have my IC change! i got no idea why but i think it's because i look like a Thai and sound like one. but hey, im purely a LADY! no change of sex here! and one more thing, i ASSUME i look like those HOT Thai LADY. (read: LADY)

and so, the main purpose of this post is to story about this old guy that i met in the train few days back. the train was packed and as usual i had to stand although im like the needy person there. so there's this 3 old guys sitting down right in front of me. i didn't really look at their faces and they look like they are in their mid 40s. to be precise, they are malays/islam. im not trying to discriminate them here but hey, look at the way they talk.

old man 1 was on the phone with his friend and telling his friend that he's working night shift. he introduce himself by saying

"hey, im Star.."

STAR?! YOUR NAME IS STAR?!

then well hello, my name is "SABIT".

ok moving on, i turned to look at him and i realized where he gt his name from. HIS TATTOO under the eye. he was talking so loudly in the train about him not fasting and being so proud of it. AS A MUSLIM, I WAS ASHAMED! Kafir all around looking at him. i tell u, this kind of people will be the one u see hanging out at Bazaar Geylang and be the ones who will grab baju kurung! enough about that.

then he looked at me cause i was starring weirdly at him. he asked his friends next to him,

"ni melayu eh?" (translation: this girl malay eh?)

his friend just nod his head.

then he waved at me and asked,

"melayu eh?"
i shake my head

"filipino?"
i shake my head

"thai?"
i shake my head

"indon? vietnam?"
i just shake my head all the time and i give up.

i heard him telling his friends then,

"aku rasa dia indon ader, filipino ader.." (translation: he thinks that i look like an indon or filipino)

i just love making this people guess where i am from. let's just hope that the old mans taubat.

but, don't i look like a malay and singaporean to u?
