Rest In Peace, Old Lady.

My grandmother passed away peacefully 2 nights ago. I was informed by my brother last night. Hmm, I was quite shocked. I know she was kind of sick lately, but I never got any chance to see her. I can't remember when was the last time we saw each other. Probably it was on last October, on Eid-ul-Fitr day. Yeah, seriously. And technically, she wasn't my grandmother because actually she was my father's aunt. But I was told that she was the one who raised my father, and I guess that was the reason why she was close to my family.

I had told myself that I wasn't gonna cry or think much about her because I'm on final exam week right now. In fact my mother didn't want to inform me about her death because she didn't want me to lose focus on my exam. I have to admit that I cried a little bit. Because I had a slightly special bond with her. I used to spend 1 week living with the 80++ year old lady and that was the time we got closer and closer. I remember she always asked me to massage her old bony body and she told me that I was a good masseur. I was surprised with the compliment because I didn't have any professional training whatsoever. And exactly 3 days ago, my mother told me that the old lady was sick and she wanted me to take care of her during my 1-week semester break. It was a personal request from her and I just agreed. In fact, I had it all planned well. I was going to shut myself off in the semester break for the sake of being with her. Sadly, she couldn't afford to wait for me.

I hope she will know that I miss her so much and how I regret that I didn't see her for such a long time. May Allah SWT will bless her soul. Rest in peace, Granny.

And Yet Another...

What can I say?! I haven't finished the first and foremost books (The Twilight Series), and yet I go around highlighting another new books to people. Anyway, no one can blame the fact that The Twilight Series are not "real" books. They are only E-Books, which made me so lazy to turn on my laptop and read them. Shameful.

I bought this book last week, at the same place and the same price of the previous book, Pick Me Up. Also from the same publication as well. What attracted me to this book was it's title. HOW TO SLEEP WITH A MOVIE STAR. How cool is that? I don't even open the book yet, because I had promised myself to finish the previous book first.


The title sounds promising. No, I'm not actually looking forward to score a sleep-with-a-movie-star package. I just want to amuse myself with a nice, enjoyable read. This and the previous books sound like they have lots of humor to offer, and yeah, I love that.

One more thing, I'll be sitting for my final exam starting today until Friday. And I may gonna be unable to do my EC droppings routine. But to other loyal EC droppers, please continue dropping on my page. I'll be back soon. Thanks and have a nice day.
