...because you surprised me with a kitten which you picked up at the mamak (who is now named Cashmere 'del ohos locos' Kapoor - we just call him Cash), driving Skeet, me and Cash to the vet on Sunday, bringing your PS3 and Guitar Hero to the house because you knew how much I wanted to play and connecting it to the tv then disconnecting it again because I want to watch Astro, going with me to the salon as usual to get my ritual done, driving me to do a COD for the billionth time, eating Dunkin Doughnuts crossaints with me at a random Petronas station for dinner, letting me drive your car while you drove mine because my Waja's radio doesn't work, secretly filling up my gas tank on the way to my house because it was on E, telling me I look beautiful EVERY SINGLE DAY even when I don't, helping me look for Skeet after work because I panicked when he didn't come home (but he did in the end! :D), burning a CD for me because you know all the CDs in the Waja are boring the hell outta me, just putting up with my crazy (and sometimes moody) randomness.
It may sound corny, but baby you rock my world ;)

Here's to my mom
Mother's Day is coming up. So this post is dedicated to my mom:
Mama, thanks for...
- forcing me to take our Cod's Liver Oil and vitamins in the morning before I went off to school. I hated how it tasted, but I know it's because you want me to grow up healthy and strong.
- putting a cold towel on my forehead when I fell sick and had a burning fever. You would wake up countless times in the middle of the night just to check my temperature, rinse the towel with water again and put it back on my forehead.
- organising birthday parties for me, taking the time and energy to prepare food and snacks for my friends. I still remember that Birthday Pool Party I had...you suggested it, and we all had a blast. One of the birthdays I will never, ever forget.
- staying strong in front of kakak and me when That Man left us. We never saw you emotional and you got back up on your own two feet because you knew you had to, for kakak and my sake. You worked three jobs, day and night just to support us and put food on the table.
- fetching and sending kakak and me to school, from school, to tuition, from tuition, to UiTM, from UiTM...
- always being the first to break the ice after we have our arguments. They say a mother's love is unconditional, and I know that that's the absolute truth.
- letting me go to Melbourne to further my studies. You knew it was going to be tough to help pay for my fees, but because you saw how much it meant to me, you let me go in the end, despite all odds and having to sell off a car.
- still putting breakfast on the table every morning when I wake up. And the packed lunches you leave on the table for me to take to work!
- wanting to be involved in my personal life. Asking questions about the guy I'm dating, always wanting the best for me and giving me advice. I know you're scared I'll go down the same road you did when it came to men, but you have to trust I'll make the right decisions in the end.
Mama, even though I'm no longer your little daughter, know I've learned a lot from a strong, phenomenal woman like you. While we do have our differences, I will always have you up there on a pedestal, and you are one of the strongest women I know or will ever know. I am proud to have a mother like you.
Happy Mother's Day ma. I love you.
With love always,
Your daughter `Aainaa

Life update
It's been ages.
Past two weeks in a nutshell:
Came down with a fever. Throat hurt like fuck, especially at night, causing tossing and turning, resulting in lack of sleep and dark under eye circles. Looked like hell on a bad day. Missed 2 days of work. Body started aching like mad, as if had been working ass of at the gym when in fact, am at home, SLEEPING and COUGHING ass off. Felt a bit paranoid about the Swine flu (touch wood) but boyfriend convinced me otherwise. Lost appetite, hoping it would lead to weight loss, but appetite came back with a VENGEANCE. Realised Dots is getting fat, but that's because he eats ten times a day.Came back to work with a shitload of stuff to do, still a bit sick but rushing here and there. Advertorials, advertorials, advertorials. Best friend came down from Singapore, managed to squeeze in a chilling out session at Luna Bar. Made a group decision never to go there again because cover charge is 50 frikking bucks and you have to pay 70 bucks just to cut a birthday cake. Right. No wonder no one ever goes there anymore. Decided that pounding glass walls due to loud music is a bit scary anyway (Maine will know what I'm talking about). Went karaoke with the colleagues and finished session with The Cheeky Girls Song. Super fun.Contemplated life, turning 26 years old. Told boyfriend that I'm getting old and still haven't swam with dolphins, which is a bit depressing. Went to pet store in GE Mall and checked out the fat cats. Not a fan of fish, but marvelled at the different colours of fish they had. Watched Wolverine and drooled over Ryan Reynolds, before he turned into scary mutant with mouth sewn shut. Upset that Ryan's part in the movie was way too short. Had massive fight with boyfriend. Slept in the TV room for 3 nights because airconditioning in room is crap. Made up with boyfriend by playing Gutar Hero together. Beat Slash in the challenge on a first try. I AM A ROCK GOD. Finally finished July articles, starting on August. Guitar Hero night again tonight - Maine and maybe Dina coming over. Will kick ass at Guitar Hero. ROCK ON MOTHERFUCKERS!!!
Sloppy kisses!
