oh february how i've longed for u

 Hello February!!!!! OMG! YES! IT'S FEBRUARY~!!! 

U might be wondering, "What's up with this girl getting all hyped up about February? Is it because February is supposedly the month of love? Because Valentine's? Or is it because it's basically the shortest month of the year? Or is it because February's the 3rd month of winter?" And as right as u are, it's actually my birthday month. I also live in Malaysia, so all we Malaysians get here is nothing but either extremely sunny days or extremely rainy days. No in-betweens. No spring, summer, fall, winter, or any other seasons. Not that I hate it here, but in a way, I sometimes do. 

OKAY WELL MOVING ON!!!! 

Is it just me or is it possible that most of us think January felt like a year? And it's always been like that! Like, every January feels endless. I'm pretty sure it's not just me.. and so far, nothing exciting has yet to happen. Like always, LOL. Sometimes I wonder why I still bother to provide life updates like Things Are Happening, if u know what I mean. BECAUSE!!!! The truth is life's been slightly boring.... I feel like the only things that keep me going at the moment are simply school and writing. But today my mom bought this 3 in 1 Nescafe Latte Milk Tea thingy from a grocery store, I really don't know the correct name of it but anyways that's not the point. The point IS, I never tasted it before so I tried making it and I tasted it and and and and it was amazing, really. Very milk-sweet, latte-ish, not too bitter, Just Nice~ I'm glad my mom bought it. I have found another reason to keep going. So thanks to my mom for that. 

Enough of my hopeless rants about things that keep me going. Let's talk about my birthday. PRESENTS. Mmm, I love presents. I actually did ask my parents for what I want because surprises are overrated. Well actually, that's the minor reason, it's just that I've had my eyes on something specific for quite a while and I figured that the only day I can actually get it is on my birthday. Therefore I did not let this precious chance go to waste and as much as I was afraid of asking my parents for it, I frequently kept in mind that #YOLO !!! And #YOLO stands for You Only Live Once. And in the end, I did ask my mom for it. Surprisingly she was okay with it. It was quite heavy for her to agree at first, due to the fact that I might not be able to receive it exactly on my birthday because it's released about 5 days before my birthday and it takes possibly 1-3 weeks to be shipped to my country. Yes, yes, a lot of pre-obstacles there but I personally think it's worth it. I think u already have a clue of what it is so I shall reveal what it is. 

It is *drum roll* A BTS ALBUM!!!! WOOP WOOP!!!! Now, before u judge me, listen, the album has 2 versions but only one of them had already been released which was the Deluxe version. And the price??? The price I tell u, was, indeed expensive. So I decided not to get it. Just when I thought my dreams were crushed and life was bad, I was informed recently that another version called 'Essential version' is about to be released this month at a very much cheaper price. Yes, cheaper, much much much cheaper than the Deluxe version. Let's just say the Deluxe version was RM100+ excluding postage fee, shipping fee, and all that while the Essential version is RM90+ including the postage and shipping fees. Plus, there's not much difference between the insides of those 2 albums, really. So, I'd say it really is worth it. If u don't think so..,,.. it's okay. 

Oh dear me, I think today's blog entry has been more to an album's biography. But yeah, to conclude it all, that's basically the only thing I have on my birthday wishlist. BUT BUT BUT let's say if I don't get it, I wouldn't be disappointed or upset, it's not something required or whatever, just, if they ask me what I want then that'll be my answer. Mhm. 

Moving on from presents, let's talk about cake. What kind of cake do I want, u ask? Well, let's see, to be honest, I don't have anything particular in mind, so we'll talk about that another day, when I've made up my mind. 

Alright! I think I've said it all ^^ If u're wondering "Uhh Safiya u haven't told us where u want to celebrate ur birthday..", well u see, my country is in a middle of a lockdown so we're not allowed to go out unless we have valid reasons. And I don't think celebrating my 15th birthday is valid so '-'. That sucks, but I don't mind celebrating it in my house. I never actually planned to celebrate it anywhere specific anyway. Seriously, the only thing I look forward to during my birthday (apart from the presents) is the people who wish me a 'happy birthday' because I don't know, birthday wishes are quite nice to get. 

OK I think I'll go to bed now, I'll talk to u later! Au revoir. 

p/s: my birthday is on the 24th of February :)
