Afito's Adventures

Hello,

The name's afiah. I'm currently 18, and I get a year older on the 29th of April.
Because of how this world is no place for a mind or a thought, I feel it best to manifest my ideas into the virtual world. After all, my global position systems are vocally addressed. Oh, and you could say that I can get a teeny bit mental at times.

Books books books. These are the books i was supposed to finish reading by the end of my so-called 'holiday'. As you can see, the holiday is nearly ending, what with posting results released tomorrow. So I thought I'd just share the book titles with you (don't ask me why).

So far I've only completed number 5 & number 8 from the top. Looking forward to my latest addition, number 10. Looks really really gooooood. It looks so good that back then in KL i was smelling the book and my lips came so close to the book such that I left a lip balm mark on the book.

Not sure which are my personal favourites though.

Hmm did I bore you sufficiently?

I just found a really cute illustration of Singapore via Robert Samuel Hanson.
His illustrations are amazing. This really made my day. :)

title : Poly? JC? Neither!
I am such a typical indecisive hormonal teen. Everytime people ask me if I want to go JC or poly my answer would be "neither". Because this is really what I want. NEITHER. I don't want to go JC. I don't want to go Poly. What I really want is to go to an arts instituition. But arts instituitions are private & really really expensive.

Also, I am scared of using art as something which I'd want to pursue in the future.
1) It will kill my passion
2) I'm told that there are not many future prospects for artists in Singapore

So that leaves me the choice of going to either a very very academic instituition or a more hands-on kind of education. I'm happy that this time round Ibu was more flexible with me on the whole going to Poly thing. But I weighed out the pros and cons, and decided JC is the way for me, because I am still searching for that something which I really really am passionate about.

Anyways, right now I feel really dull sitting at home, not doing anything at all which I have interest in. I sleep like a sloth nowadays and get all sorts of cravings at home. Which is very un-typical of me (not on the craving part though).

Sigh, part of me wants JC to start, the other part.....well, not really looking forward to the people.

I hope the next few days I would find something really productive to do.

The only productive thing I did today was to read a whole wikipedia page on loch ness monsters. Ah I am getting lazier!

title : I love conversation histories!
Yes I do love them, yes. I was reading the conversation histories that I had with ashiqa on msn and they made me laugh. The happiness is almost equivalent to that of reading a really really old diary.

I love things like these. They are able to bring back memories of the past and all the sorts, and made you realise how much you've changed over the years. And so...I'm reminded of me when I was in Sec 3 when I was reading the conversation history.

I can safely say that...I use vulgarities alot more in the past than I do now? Yes that's correct. Hehehe now I'm feeling nostalgic. I don't know why I keep feeling nostalgic these days. Maybe its the post-secondary school feel. Hmm I'd rather be feeling nostalgic all day than to feel like an android.

Damn I miss going out with Zulaikha & Ashiqa. Hmm, there are cheap plays coming out. I shall invite them out! :D

Sorry for the really really abrupt post.

People say "The only way to a woman's heart is through her stomach,".

I say "The only way to my heart is through your art,".

title : I love my friend farah nurdiyanah because she makes me snunt on msn
What's a snunt you ask? It's basically something I just coined (yippee).

Okay today is officially the first time i did a snunt, when all else is quiet. (Ugh btw beetles keep landing on my arm, once everyday)

Snunt (Suh-nunt): Snort-grunt

Okay so the next time something is really funny and you produced a noise you can't quite identify, its a snunt. Okay? That's what it is, a snunt.

I am waiting for the day a ladybird lands on my arm. Mmm. Or a dungbeetle would be nice too.

Okay fine I am blogging because I realised my blog is as dormant as a volcano or better still, as dormant as diyanah's LJ so yum here I am.

I realised too, that I used the word yum rather inappropriately. For example, when I see a cute baby I go yum which makes me think about diyanah and the dream she had about her biting off a baby's head because it was too cute. Which.......

Reminds me that I had a dream during the holidays where I had an alien foetus for a little brother. Please don't ask me why it was an alien foetus, and no, I am not making this up. I remembered in the dream I was carrying the little alien foetus everywhere I went and my mum loved it so much.

So one day, at popular bookstore I was carrying my little alien foetus brother around, and it slipped through my hand like a hamster and dropped between two piles of books. And somehow the two piles of books resembled a mini-valley and soon after, I was looking for my alien foetus brother. I got so worried and everything, I asked the popular staff to look for my alien foetus brother.

Suddenly, my alien foetus brother got squished and what remained was something which looked like blood splatter and the insides of a lizard when its abdomen is ripped in two....

Mmm I am absolutely and thoroughly and honestly enjoying my holiday because I learnt alot of new things. And plus, I've got piles of books I have yet to read...

I can't believe I blew my 100+ ringgit at berjaya times square on books when I was at Kuala Lumpur. Ah I can't help but have 'booklust' as Shameera calls it.

I just deposited my $200 in my bank and there's another $104 coming into my bank, but I don't think I'll be spending any. I like to see the figures in my POSB bankbook increase everytime, so it explains why I don't like to spend excessively.

Hmm I wonder how people can just blow their money on things. But I guess different people are different. Half the time I don't know what I want, so I'll just keep the money for future use, like taking classes and the sort. (Much more worth to me)

I'm going off. My dear desktop is finally getting fixed so I don't have to use two computers at once anymore.

Alrighty tura dearies! :)
(P.S Until now I still don't know what language tura is in, I only know neil buchanan uses it at the end of every Art Attack show)
