I never saw the need to get branded goods. Unless you know you're going to use it for a very long time OR you have a really grand occasion to dress up to the nines. Even brands like Bonia is considered branded to us. It's not as expensive as LV and those along the lines of that but it IS still branded to me..

Somehow this topic always help spark a conversation between my brother and i. Both of us have been scratching our heads on how people would dare to spend their money like that. Especially when you're earning peanuts. I didn't even dare get myself a $100 watch when i was working as a temp (ok it's not a fair comparison but.. i was earning pretty well as a temporary thanks to the overtime pay). I didn't dare to spend $100... I never will unless i'm earning $2.5k ... Crazy or not? And unless i really NEED it.

My brother always said,"Rather save that money and spend it on travelling right?" YESSS. I think he had a really good time during his backpacking trip this May so he's been really motivated to save up to travel. And it's made me think about that too. Speaking of which, he also added,"Don't travel while you're studying. Because within you, you know that after travelling and enjoying yourself, you'll be hitting the books again and your mood will be ruined." HAHA! Which is VERY TRUE. He recommended to visit Paris upon graduation and of course.. the first question i asked was,"Do you think mummy and daddy will allow?" Fat hope.. My father didn't even allow me to go to my aunt's place in JB while they were away -.- That's how protective my parents are. And it's heartwarming though constraining :P

Anyway, i really hope to travel someday. I have this wish to become an air stewardess (not going to happen... for 50% of the reality) but i'm probably too short for it -.- And even though my mum said yes, my dad obviously said no. Hahaha! Aiya.. We'll see how. I have this wishful thinking that i would earn a satisfactory wage with a job that i love upon graduation (InsyaAllah...) and bring my family and self to travel. And one big wish is that we'll be able to perform the Haj together as a family before my brother and i get married. That would be the biggest wish ever. InsyaAllah.. If God wills it, it will happen. Hearing my parents relate their stories from Haj and hearing my dad say that he hopes to see my brother and i perform the Haj one day (and added that "It would be great if we could all go together too") makes me really want it as bad too. InsyaAllah, insyaAllah, insyaAllah.

Well, i suppose this would be the last post for the year? Unless i have good pictures to post when i come back from my cousin's engagement in JB soon! ;)

PS: I have so many videos to post!

The Script - The Man Who Can't Be Moved
I'm hooked to this song AND the rest of the songs by the band.

The Hobbit trailer
Excited for the movie! I hope to finish reading the book to get a better understanding before the movie comes out next year!

Ok that's all for now!

PPS: So happy that we crossed paths. You have no idea how i felt. I was shivering with nervousness and excitement at the same time. I didn't want it to end.. I've never felt this way about anyone.

, osn.
