Dear fellow iPhone Users,
I am selling my iPhone cover for $8 (bought it for $12). I had bought it due to its appearance – glitterish and preeeetty (plus it was the last on the hanging shelf). However, after spending one day with it, we realized that we were not meant to be. Though I felt princess-ish while using it, unfortunately it must have felt like it didn’t belong together with my iPhone. Sensing that my iPhone wasn’t feeling quite happy with the cover, I have decided to sell it.
So! If you have an iPhone, want to feel all princess-ish and you have a tiny bit of bimbo in you, this cover might be just right for you. If you are interested, email me (juliana.jumiat@gmail.com) and I will be more than happy to fill you in with the details. =)
My iPhone

Alhamdulillah… I have finally purchased my long-awaited iPhone (since nobody bought it for me on my birthday. Nyaha.). Surprisingly, this salesguy was generous enough to give me a really awesome bargain, which did make me wonder if what he did was illegal… But he reassured me that it wasn’t, so… I bought it at much lower price than I intended to. Hehe.
Somehow it felt like a well deserved gift to myself, so yes, I am a happy girl, with a big fat smile on my face. Weee.
I think I should stop downloading these applications and go to sleep. Haha.
Note to self: Two more weeks!
Will I ever get to be with you, Hougang?

Some may have heard me going gaga over Hougang and how very much I’d like to live there one day. There have been countless efforts in persuading my mum to move there, but unfortunately, she has managed to list down the cons (more than the pros) in moving.
So, family moving to Hougang? I don’t think that is ever going to happen. So I have finally accepted the fact that I have to do this alone (together with my future husband).
And finally, good news greeted my eyes this morning! HDB just launched two more new BTO projects in CCK and……. HOUGANG!!!! And the price of these flats? Not bad, I say.
There was some talk between me and Tok before, about applying for a BTO flat (insyaAllah), especially after my mum was pestering for us to get engaged quickly and immediately apply for the BTO flat. You can imagine the BIG QUESTION MARK on my face when she was proposing such idea.
I concluded later that she might not be so serious about getting engaged-quickly part…. but I think she might be supportive in the BTO plan.
I told you, I’m fated to be in Hougang. *grinz* So, what are you waiting for? CEPAT LAH TUNANG! Hahahahha… That was so shameless. Ok! I was kidding!
Ten Ten Ten Ten… *wedding music*

Say whuuut? It’s 2010 already? Wooot. That was fast.
I’ve told myself not to make the coming of 2010 a big deal, because I felt it would be ironic for me to go all hooha about 2010, when I didn’t make a big hooha about the coming of the new Islamic year last Saturday evening. Alhamdulillah, I managed to fast and made some quiet reflections of my own last Sunday though. But I just didn’t feel quite right to be so…. festive about this 2010.
To each his own ya.
So, yesterday I was half asleep, but was awakened by the screamings coming from a flat opposite my block. I looked at my digi-clock, and it was 12am. I stayed wide awake after that. It would be nice if they can do that for me at 6am every weekday. Heh.
Yesterday was also a wonderful chance for us girls (minus two, sadly) to meet up and have a mini-picnic by Marine Barrage since most of us had the afternoon off from work. Despite the strong winds and grey skies, God blessed us with a wonderful weather. Nice enough to grab a pillow and doze off. =D
After much reflections since last Sunday, on the past happenings, I began to make goals for the near future. You may call it resolutions, but I’d rather not use the term, because it gives me that youhaveoneyeartocarrythemout-feeling and then you have to make new resolutions for the next year. Instead, I made goals which I can take my on sweet time to take them up, no deadlines. Except for pursuing ACCA. I can’t drag that till next year (yes, 2011) for that one.
Trying new things (speaking of which, kickboxing class starts next week!), be more adventurous and set a body alarm clock (apparently I learnt that it is possible) are just among the goals I’ve set for myself. And I am soooo looking forward to them. *grinz*
Well, I shall see how that goes. It’s 2.26am now. Before my dad wakes up (again) and asks me 13245642152 questions as to why I’m not asleep, I better sleep now. But before I end off, let me share with my Muslim sisters an article, which might come across to you as ‘blunt’ or ‘insensitive’, but it’s reality and reminder for us (including me). Apologies, it is in Malay.
God bless us all!

On Thursday, as I was leaving the shared toilet on my office level (which requires key access), an old lady who works on the same level peaked through the entrance. Upon seeing me, she jogged towards me and asked me to open the door for her because she left her key in her other bag. (Ok, let’s skip this part where she tells me the whole story how she forgot the key.)
So I opened the door and as she entered the toilet, she said “Thank you so much, God bless you!” For that second, I kinda froze…
Perhaps it was because nobody had said it to me verbally before, and it took me awhile before I replied, “Thank you.” (Call me slow. Whatever. Haha.) It took me awhile because the first thought that came to my mind was that I related it to Christians. I thought on Christians say that to each other.
Well, how shallow I was. During that few seconds, I realized that ‘God bless you’ was a rather universal statement, with pure and good intention, so that was when I decided to happily respond and thanked her. =)
Meaningful Words

I am reading a book, and these words can’t seem to leave my mind…
Sabda Rasulullah SAW yang bermaksud:
“Ya Allah, berdasarkan pengetahuanMu terhadap alam ghaib dan kemampuanMu terhadap semua makhluk, hidupkan aku jika Engkau mengetahui kehidupan itu lebih baik bagiku dan matikan aku jika Engkau mengetahui kematian itu lebih baik bagiku. Aku memohon kepadaMu rasa takut kepadaMu di alam ghaib dan alam nyata. Aku memohon kepadaMu perkataan yang benar dalam marah dan senang. Aku memohon kepadaMu hemat pada saat miskin dan kaya. Aku memohon kepadaMu kenikmatan yang tidak habis-habisnya. Aku memohon kepadaMu penyegar mata yang tidak terputus. Aku memohon kepadaMu sikap redha setelah adanya qadha’. Aku memohon kepadaMu kenikmatan melihat wajahMu. Aku memohon kepadaMu duduk bertemu denganMu tanpa penderitaan yang membahayakan dan tanpa fitnah yang menyesatkan. Ya Allah, hiaslah kami dengan hiasan iman dan jadikan kami sebagai juru petunjuk yang mendapatkan petunjuk.”
(HR. An-Nasa’i, Imam Ahmad, Ibnu Hibban)
Happenings
December 27, 2009 at 1:45 am | In Random Thoughts | Leave a CommentMuch has been happening these past few days.
My second attempt at driving test did not go well again. So after much thinking and approval from my mum, I have decided to take a break from the pressure of driving, and focus on my more-important goal – to pursue my degree/ACCA. A lot of ka-ching is required, and since it has been long-decided that I’ll be funding my own studies this time round, I’d better put the driving on hold first.
Health has finally drained away from me, when flu visited me again. This time accompanied with non-stop coughing till it became too painful for me to swallow my food. Unfortunately, losing weight was only temporary. The coughing has subsided, and I am gaining back to my so-called ’standard’ weight. (And don’t you dare ask me what’s my standard weight!)
It’s 1.30am right now, and I am not asleep yet, because for some strange reason, something super duper random (probably the King of Randoms this one is) popped up my mind at approx 11.45pm, and it was so disturbing that even after flipping the pages of my organizer, I could not find the answer. So I decided to find the answer online… and yes I did, with a sigh of relief.

I am beginning to enjoy Malaysian TV advertisements now. They never fail to amuse me. Haha.
Rekindling

These past few weeks, there has been this nagging feeling inside me. As days went by, the feeling gradually became unsettling. So unsettling till I invited so much trouble for myself and others. So unsettling that I was beginning to lose the faith.
I am praying that nothing bad happens. And I am praying for this faith to rekindle in me.
