Return of the.. Hairy!

Sadly.. That's all I came up with, as the title in the past 2 months of pondering as to what to write. Call it writers-block, or call it plain laziness.. But I have missed my space. And I know you all have missed me and my wisdomess words and pure awesomeness.. (pause). Right, I expected a round of applause there, but you know. I know in your mind you're all giving me a standing ovation. Right? Right? =D

Let's cut to the actual excuses now. The last post was written on 20th August. That was a long time ago. We're nearing 20th October now. And my excuse is that I have actually been busy! Can you believe it? I have a life.. And that to, it's one that is busy!

Uni started a couple of weeks ago, and since I have tried to maintain the "going to the lectures" part.. And I have succeeded. Apart from the times that I sit outside the lecture hall drinking Vimto. Oh yeah. But seriously though, the second year is HARD. I mean all the studying I did last year has suddenly tripled over night. It's scary, exciting and boring all at the same time.

Since the month of August I have moved into my house with my friends, got a job and then lost the job before starting the job (I'm just that cool!).. And of course tried to do important things. But as for the job part of my life, let's just say that I am back to square one - jobless, hopeless and soon to be moneyless. Gosh, the thrills of life!

We had eid a couple of weeks ago.. and it was strange. Usually Eid is one of my most favourite times of the year. I enjoy the buzz of the whole family, the yummy food, the get togethers and of course the fancy clothes (otherwise not to be seen in such clothes unless it made of Pyjamas). This year, it was hectic, suprising and completely weird. It was one of the rare times where all my uncles, and aunts were together for eid. Usually we miss out one or two who live across the world. This time they were there, yet there was an odd sense of emptiness. Of course Eid has also been one of the most emotional times of the year, considering my dad isn't around. But this time I found myself getting teary quite a bit.

There was a moment where I was sure I was going to start bawling. A family picture of my grandad and all of my dad's siblings was taken. In the middle of the picture though there was this huge gap.. And I guess for a few seconds it just reinforced what was supposed to be there.

Sigh.

Well enough about the sombre part of all of this (which btw isn't so often anymore.. wahey!) I shall write more tonight! (Or you know, a few months from now!! =D)

In the words of.. Cookie and Frostie. Meaw, Meaw.. Meaw.
