it hit me that 2007 was way too meaningful to not post a PICTURE POST for it.

so here goes nothing :D

i kicked off 07' sipping fake champagne, making a din at my void deck, playing sparklers with two of my favourite girls who fell asleep half an hour into the first movie of our supposedly movie marathon.

somewhere mid-jan, i got the best surprise call ever. Aisyah Sufiyah was Godsent from heaven straight into our family and my sister didnt even have to be in labour ;)

oh before that! early jan, xhui's bday. mini reunion with the people that made Peirce, O levels, F&N coursework(haha!) not only bearable but FUN!

this one is a MAJOR MILESTONE. The Parents agreeing to me passing the effing checkpoint alone. my first solo trip to KL to lay my eyes, hands, lips to the babygirl who stole my heart. my second trip, the drive from Malacca with sister and sufi singing kiddy songs. then there is the third trip, solo again on the JetBus to see the fireworks. three times. up to KL, living in my sister's house. taking care of sufi. and one precious thing...

...how much closer i got to my Kak Mai :)

then there is the cousin. the girl i wanted to know so much, which i finally did and now love so much. but now after JUST finding out she quit school, i want to kill and strangle so much. hah. in any ways, she is like the baby sister i never had. the younger one. the one I CAN bully :P bully with love.

of course! my danish cookies! love can be multiplied so dont worry i have enough for this one and sufi to share and many many more wonderful babies to come!

finally, my EIGHTEEN, 18, LAPAN BELAS, si pa! just thank yous, more thank yous, not enough thank yous.

twothousandseven was also a year of relationships.

even thou it happened once. it still did happen. and thats all that matters. reunited.

and you too. i saw you once this year. just like last year. i dont know where you are. i do know that i love you, still. and when you're back from wherever you are, im just one sms, one phonecall, one email, one IM, on train ride away. IMY.

sweet thing! i appreciate your effort of keeping in touch. IM-ing me. and you know, no matter how busy, click on me and i'll listen :). i hope i can meetup with you and seng and xhui this CNY again!

out with the old, in with the new....hahahah! KIDDING LA! something old, something new, i wont forget you girls too. chey.... the transition from secondary to poly wasnt easy. it was like finding a new identity. until i went to vietnam and met people who accept me for who i am; in ugly shorts and tee everyday, hair all up, burnt from the sun, coward to get on the bicycle as hell. HAHAHA! and im glad we tried to maintain that even when we got back. newfound<3

BUT OF COURSE, the old ones are like wine.. ageing... but worth the recognition and appreciation. hah! my QahQihQu! im trying to stop calling you Qah my bitch cause i learnt in school that when you keep labelling people something that person will become more and more like that thing! heh! and i dont want you to become a bitch even thou you're not very nice at times :P i dont know where it comes from, but i love you and when you wna give up on love, remember that you have MY LOVE. and then bubbles! i dont know if you read my blog so i lazy type long long :P "love&hate, hits&misses". FINALLY, nano banano banks! thank you for being my housemate multiple of times, i have a feeling you're still needed for that service.heh. thank you for inviting yourself to be a part of my family and tag along occasionally when we balik kampong so that we can laugh at MAT M'SIA who tries to hit on us. and thank you for being my usually unavailable bestfriend. there are no standards to meet in this relationship. we dont often involve ourselves in each other's daily lives. thats maybe cause we dont try. but somehow, we all come back as one. and i thank God for this dysfunctional family of friends i have<3

moving on to a less dysfunctional family member. since 13 year olds, slenger, sec one days. five years and still counting. we may not be as close back then but you are the FIRST person ive had the longest and still going relationship ever. you taught me what a hyena really is after 24hours of bickering, you showed me how to keep my ipod earphones the right way, you nagged at me for taking moms on so many shopping trips, You, make me feel the most comfortable in my own skin, being my own self and YOU made it clear that this love will last; till we are on our rocking chair, laughing; breaking the chair and our bones. i love you my sister from another mother, father, atok, nenek altogether<3

&you baby. YOU. you are just beyond words. there were rough times this year. but you made it all up. you make me feel everything all at once, happy, sad, angry, safe, unsteady. no matter what, i know, no matter how bumpy the ride's gonna be, you'll hold my hand and make me laugh till i have no care in the world, you'll make everything okay. i love you babe, forever&ever. and thank you for the oppurtunity to tutor your niece and nephew. i was afraid but now i know i could do it. they have been wonderful even though they dont do they're homework sometimes :P they made me feel proud, this year, they made me feel accomplished. i hope i will continue teaching them till P6. heh. cause secondary syllabus=cannot make it la. heh. on top of all that, having your mom talk to me have GOT TO BE THE MOTHER OF ALL JITTERIES but finally, after she asked me help her nag at you and frying me my favourite chicken wings, i know, AT LAST, im accepted. im no more the "kawan(cause they in denial)". im the girlfriend now :D

i have no words to describe my gratitude to both of you. even though you may not know it, i live life for both of you. hold on kay. you've got more to see, ive got more to offer. my graduation, my wedding, my childbirth. hah! moms, you've been the bestest mother; through puberty, through the teen angst, through the tantrums, through the shopping malls, i know you love me the most and i'd give my life for you. no one else mother, no one else. and abah, this year, you've accepted the fact that ive a boyfriend, you've invited him for family dinners BUT you still have to get his name right okay. it's AZAN. not any other funky names who just spout. still, i love you too and you hold on tight too kay. i see beyond the wrinkles and white hair, i see my strong, boncet father whom i still need. thank yous, for life<3

im sorry if ive missed anybody.

but, if you love me, i love you too.

p/s: ERY ROSA INDAH, i didnt forget you. i just didnt wna post your photo :P thank you for still irritating me everyday.
