happy hari raya, everybody!

every year, the end of the fasting month feels like a new start to me
for starters, it's the start of being able to eat in daylight again
haha
and there's also the feeling of being more empowered and in control of yourself
and that's a good thing!

exactly one month ago, i was up at 3 in the morning
writing very shocked and angry words in my blog
because of some extreme racism i'd found in some forums
couldn't publish it because of blogger problems

but since raya is tomorrow
i'd just like to say that i forgive these people
yes - forgive! - because they're simply ignorant
and you can't blame stupid people for being stupid if they haven't had education, right?
(sorry, it's just an analogy; it's not meant to insult them as "stupid")

thus, pearls and gems of forgiveness are being merlion-ed from my mouth (or fingertips) and being teleported across continents to these sad, unenlightened people
may they find the truth one day soon
ameeeeeennnn...


haha
on a lighter note, i love my new shoes!!!
after trawling through vivo and bugis, i finally found them last tuesday at seiyu
black and white houndstooth-patterned peep-toe pumps with wooden heels
they look so smart!
i usually spend like $40 tops for raya shoes
so going $20 over ain't that big a deal
(my sis, on the other hand, got guess shoes... lucky b!)

i've totally finished cleaning my room
it's the neatest one in the house now muahaha
bright new sheets, everything neatly arranged in boxes or stacks, fairy lights adorning my windows, theo walcott pin-up up beside my fabregas one (swoon!) and vacuuming all done
phew! all in a week's work
so i'm really hoping the celebrations are worth the clean-up!

(forgetting the fact that i'll reach home around 12, and i have school and yoong's consultation the next morning...)

so happy raya day/month, everybody!!!!
