The other day, while in the dinner hall in our dorms, I somehow managed to get an extra glass of orange juice from the really nice person serving us our dinner.

My friend Krystel asked me: "So, Samia, what did you ask them to get that extra glass of orange juice?"

And I blurted out "I just asked them.. my husband..."

And she exploded.
What is it with me and my obsession with getting married? I wasn't even thinking about it but it just came out! This is absolutely embarassing and disgusting. My HUSBAND. I ain't even married yet. It's amazing how the subconscious side takes over sometimes while you're speaking.

Can be embarassing sometimes.

P.S. Show me a nice guy and I'd love to get married. How I define 'nice' is a totally different story altogether.

As I always say: Life couldn't get Better. [Hamdulillah]

Why?!

I've finished my exams, and hold your breath.. I..... am going to be on NATIONAL TV this week!! I'm not going to tell you when, or what channel, until after it's been aired though, so if you want a copy, ask ME!

People usually ask me why I always keep my cell phone on vibration alert, and I bet they're thinking also, why me, a student, wouldn't want to show off my newly downloaded ring tone. You think I'm crazy?

No, I just think it's plain rude that the person who calls me on my cell should take priority over who I am with. And ugh, those jarring ringtones and loud conversations at restaurants and the movies are an absolutely selfish denial of the existence of other people around you, and such people should be kicked out of the cinema. Kicked really hard.

I was amused and impressed to find out who people really think is the biggest threat to peace.

During my flight back to Manchester, I managed to watch one of those mushy-Meg Ryan-type romantic comedies, only this time, there wasn't any Meg Ryan in it.

It's amazing how these romantic comedies give us this dreamy perspective of love, and I fall for it. I loved the movie, by the way, and I so thank God that there was no one sitting right beside me when I tried to blink those tears away.

*Sigh*
I can only dream.

Don't tell me that Life isn't Unfair, and that Life is what you make out of it.
Puh-Leeze.

I'm absolutely sick and tired, in fact, I am: drained, fatigued, jaded, weary, exhausted, enfeebled, sapped, weakened and worn out. [As pointed out by the soliloquist, the online Merriam-Webster thesaurus deserves full credit here ;) ]

I do not like Exams.
I would like to spew out vast quantities of obscenities addressed to my examiners, but the idea isn't really constructive and I would like to maintain the little bit of dignity which I hope I have.
It's not amusing at all to have a month-long 'vacation' (as they call it) right before the bloody final exams. I could probably beat up the person who thought up this wonderful idea to a bloody pulp, but that wouldn't be constructive either, and I am not a violent person.

It serves the examiners right, having to check tonnes of papers.
Yep, poetic justice.

And oh yeah, do pray for my exams. :) And all the best for yours ;)

The excerpt below was published online By mistake. I apologise. I kept it for my own reference, but woopsie! This isn't meant to be a blog with huge doses of my uninformed political opinions. Really.

An Excerpt (before you mistake it for my work):

The history taught in our schools is scandalous. We grew up believing that Columbus actually discovered America. We still celebrate Columbus Day. Columbus was after one thing only - gold. As the natives were showering him with gifts and kindness, he wrote in his diary, "They do not bear arms ... They have no iron ... With 50 men we could subjugate them all and make them do whatever we want." Columbus is the perfect symbol of US foreign policy to this day.

Trinity (some anonymous bloke who comments on my entries) suggested that I shouldn't be blogging, should be 'turn[ing] to religion'.
Trinity was probably kidding (or maybe NOT) but it's not an unusual thing to say.

Hmmm.

Are you one of those people, who'd rather live a hedonistic life right now, and when you're old, in the dumps, nothing better to do, turn to God and spirituality?

And yeah, Trinity, if you seriously think I should re-consider blogging.. 3 words for you: Tough Luck mate.
HAH!

Oh. My. God. It's 2003.

I'm 21, and it might sound like I've got my whole life ahead of me, but Na'aaaaaaaaaaa you Never KNOW!!!
