i actually turned 25

hahahaha
but really though, 25??
T W E N T Y - F I V E

the age where you should get married.
the age where everyone starts throwing you questions.
my mom got married when she was 25, so there's that.

it is also at this age where people assume you got it all figured out.
your career.
your life.
your partner.
your financial.

erk all the big adult words.

but what REALLY is to be figured out?
when actually here i am just taking the days as it comes lol.

well i stop figuring out all the (supposedly) necessary things.
try to, mind you.
because all that are in the hand of the Almighty.
yes, efforts are to be put in but leave the rest to Him.
for someone who is a control freak, i'm still learning the process and the idea of redha.

actual redha.
knowing there are things you can't handle and
letting go of what you can't handle.
accepting of whatever He had/has planned.

i decided i had enough with whatever happened in the past.
that includes everything that wont benefit me.
for example, liking people.
HAHAHAHAHA!

but seriously,
my days of having crush on/liking someone are over.
i wanna put it behind me.
pasal inda pedah y'alls
hahahah

this also means that i won't be writing the follow up on my previous post on
even though i promised that i would.
pasal inda pedah y'alls
no matter how funny that post i structured it to be.
(lol perasan cali)

this year's birthday also made me realised
how i don't really care about the amount of people sending in text messages/greetings.
quality over quantity lettew.
but seriously no matter how many messages you received, 
when you didn't get the ones from who really mattered then
apakah maksud semua ini?
hahhahaha

but seriouslyyyy
messages/greetings from people who are important to you is actually important.
you'd actually feel heartbroken and sad when they don't.
menyamal lol.
but since you're 25 (!!), sikit saja lah.

which brings me to these bunch of people:


MY ITB GANG!
(except for the guy in the middle. he was the host at one of the house we went raya to lol)

we went for a very short raya trip together to Lumut yesterday.
bear in mind, none had greeted me that day.
truth to be told, i was kinda expecting for them to throw surprises.
expected them to throw one during one of the houses we went to.
but none.
they didn't even pull one when they sent me back home.
-___________-"

so i was like "oh well. it doesn't really matter anyway"
and i said bye to them and shooed them since it was already late.
didn't invite them in even if they wanted to because they said alang2.
but i said no because i don't know (more like don't like) to entertain guests hahahah.
but my mom was welcoming them in (which apparently came cause they cried help)
so it was all kind of rushing, here and there.
i was flabbergasted and when things finally settling down,
that's when i turned around and saw Karen came in with a cake!
-____________-"

sigh
these people ah.
they never failed to pull one every year for me.
it's annoying hahahaha.
but i am very grateful.
the time and effort they put into :')

so thank you Allah for lending me
all of these lovely people.

love you.

"Will I get married before 30?"

Pre-day

I didnt feel anything at all. 
No anxiety. 
Or excitement. 
Although at one point,
I kinda felt like...sad?
For not having someone to make a big deal out of it.
Pokoknya, sorry for myself.
Pfft. 

But i shoved it all away. 
And then forgot about the whole thing. 


Midnight

Woken up by my phone's constant ring. 
Annoyed by it. 
But when I checked, saw all this balloons and cakes and party hats emojis. 
And i went "oh"

Bahahahaha!

I forgot!

And then i locked and silent it. 

Yep! Cannot trade a good night sleep with mushy messages. 

Before i went back to sleep, i smiled and said

"Happy birthday ka :)"

Sigh.

I admit, I've come so far and learnt many things, yet there are so much more to discover. 

For now, I know I dont need anyone to feel appreciated.  

I can appreciate myself.

*Self hi-five! :)


And to clarify for this post's title,
That was the question i asked to the Book of Answers to which i got:
Finish Something Else First

Now, if only i know what that 'something else' is? Hmm.

Forever 21

I never thought I could be this calm on my birthday.
I always freaked out during the previous years.

The thought of addition of age, the things we are supposed to do on that age, the ways we should be on that age.

Blerrrggh!

But no.
I dont get all that for this year :)

Hello maturity!

Snorts.
But yeah, a little bit wiser.
Cheers to that!

I am amazed how life works.
How things turn.
Makes me stay humble.

See? Wiser.

Aaaand, I just remember how I promised myself to age gracefully.


p.s. my god! My head cant stop singing "I dont know about youu but im feeling twentytwoooouuhuuuuu" ugh!

walking down the pavements

[Glee Cast- Bohemian Rhapsody]

DAMNIT!
i lost the very last 5 minutes before midnight strikes by showering.
i should have posted something so that the date im writing this is on the day of my birth.
so people, let's pretend that it's still the 10th of July.
moreover, it's still 12-something-AM and i considered the next morning when i wake up as the new day with a new date.

so!
another year has gone and now, (i really hate to say this out loud) i'm 19!
time flies when you're having fun! myyy goddd!
all im going to say is that even though being 19 for me is really hard considering the fact that im closer to the end of "teenage", im happy that i have been living my life!
(i think)
i am now for almost 6 months in holiday mode, unemployed and broke!
it's the life that ive been dreaming about when im in school back then, though not on the unemployed and broke part.
it's like life...is taking on a vacation :)

but it all starting to come down when i, finally realised that there is more to life than just having it your own way. i know because at one point, i forgot that i have responsibilities and i've also come to the point that i must go on with life independently.
things REALLY started to change.

maybe that's what they called it as growing up or maturing.
Though i dont see myself as one and honestly, for me, growing up is hard.
because we are expected to act this certain ways when we reached at this certain age.
it's the social expectation and the norms and values we've internalised.
i mean, i dont see the point. it's like, the more we grow old, the more bitter we get.
the more serious we get. the more stressful we get.
that is not something i wanna be!
heck, the thought of it too isn't welcoming enough.

and for that, birthday is gonna be so easy if i have the will to accept.
and i'm reaching to it ssssssslowlyyyyyyyy

but then, maybe things gonna change its course again. maybe, one day.
and maybe that day is going to prove me wrong for saying all of this.
maybe.



p.s. Thank you to everyone for the effort or even any extras one to make me feel blessed for having you guys around. i feel loved! ♥!


p.p.s. Thank you Elle for the fighting fish, Qiellah for the most exotic cupcakes. Thank you to both of you for the surprise and Elle's two cousins too. Thank you to Haziqah Azari, Hazirah Hamid and Lukman Hakim for the day. YOU GUYS ARE THE MOST AWESOME!


p.p.p.s. HAPPY 19TH BIRTHDAAY, ZULFA ZAFIRAH ZULKIFLI!
LET'S ROCK THIS 19 OUT!
