oh voice, where art thou?

listening to: MGMT - Kids

I have laryngitis, I've abused my vocal chords by talking way too much according to my doctor. This sucks as I need my voice, it's essential, the love interest finds it all funny/weird because he sees his girlfriend across the screen, but she sure sounds like a cross between a dying toad and a man.

Balqies: I sound like a man!!!
Dr. Malkit Singh: And what's wrong with sounding like a man? *offensive tone* 
Balqies: Nothing, I just look very girly to sound like a man. 

I can no longer sing in the showers, the cockroaches that resides in my bathroom probably misses my acapella performances, sigh...

close your eyes and I hope you see mine

listening to: The Snow Symphony - Moonlight Dance

Despite being clad with high fever and having a much more macho voice in comparison to the love interest, I am nevertheless clad with pangs of excitement for this Friday (haha, sorry Iman, but you can't deny it can you?). My cousin Sherena a.k.a Kak ngah is tying the knot. I am not the official photographer for the event as I am one of the nine Dulang girls before and after my Dulang girls duties, I will be backing up the professional photographer; Anna Rina (it sounds ironic don't you reckon? 'backing up' the professional, anyway I'm just quoting the bride to be, you should all check out Anna Rina's work, she's awesome blossom!)

Kak Ngah during her make-up trial by yours trully

I can't believe I managed to muster all my energy to blog, I am actually really sick right now, I've been laying in bed half the day playing with the dslr(s)... Marco has a new play mate, the Nikon D80. It isn't mine to name, so we'll just call it the D80. So far I just have a slight sniffle, I do hope I'd make a speedy recovery as I have a debate tomorrow, despite us not getting any marks for it, but I would love to display my points on why I am against Licensed Prostitution.

Yesterday, Marissa and I went out for lunch and a movie (The Time Traveler's wife), we ended up staying in OU until dinner time ... this is perhaps why I fell sick, my body went into a state shock, usually I spent at least 2-4 hours in a mall, especially when I am with Iman, we don't really spent our times lingering in shopping malls, we'd be driving to the Tugu Negara or some place awesome to take pictures, if not, we'll be at home, but he'll be glued to the television with my brother playing a game or two... ah good times. Don't you just love being ignored by your boyfriend? usually I do the same :p, so we're even...

I just got off the phone with Jessica...

"you're voice is so scary" "you sound like a man" and she laughs at my woes...

earlier today, when I had very minimal voice, I was having a MUTE webcam conversation with the Love interest...

"Wow ... so peaceful laa"

The world is clad with evil people I tell you ... but no worries, I can still sing a fine tune, I sound like Nick Davis of The Snow Symphony but slightly more husky, so rugged, meow.

teehee, I kid, I kid...

I am off, salam and good night!

Twenty Four reasons



The Snow Symphony is a local band, and this song is deep. enjoy.

Joke of today

Jessica: You all know what a mantau is right?

Balqies & Nabilah: Yess ...

Jessica: Anyway it's a pau but the plain one.

B&N: yeah yeah we know...

Jessica: What did the Pau say to the Mantau

B&N: both clueless

Jessica: I got a "filling" ...

HAHAHAHA...

Rosebud Hearts

when it gets too heavy, we all fall down

listening to: Arctic Monkeys - Crying Lightning

When exhaustion has drained pretty much whatever energy I am clad with, it creates this certain mood which isn’t hard to attain, one that settles over me like a malicious cancer cell. And seeing how I am unable to sleep until 3 or 4am these past few days clearly isn’t helping at all. There is just a lot I would like to say, but somehow I keep clicking on the 'backspace' button, whatever it is that is on my mind, isn’t coming out quite right. My words are inadequate and flat.

The heart feels heavy, perhaps tomorrow (insya Allah) will be a better day, and I should try and get some sleep…

Good night.

ps./ Thanks for yesterday Iman♥♥♥♥♥♥ (:
