Entertain Me Please...

 

When are you gonna take me to this beautiful place, Mr Platinum??

I'm bored to death!!!!

My Current Most Played Song

Love this song. It's about the pain someone suffer from a cheating partner. Nothing related to me though but I simply love the song. And the singer =)

Facebook Virgin? Not Anymore!!

Sigh.  I'm not sure whether this is something I should be proud of or not but, I’VE CREATED A FACEBOOK ACCOUNT.  Yea, I know, I'm no longer a Facebook virgin.

Surprisingly, I found Facebook rather, mm.. boring.  Sorry if you're disagree with this but it is boring.  Just a place where you play games and do tests which to me do not seem valid & reliable? Mmm.. I got better things to do with my time.

Like what Miss Mai said "It's all rubbish!!"

To Mr Platinum: yea, that thing could put my life in danger.  After the dumb head wacko stalked me few years back, I should have learnt my lesson well.  Thanks for lunch yea.

Having said this, will I cancel my Facebook account?  Nope, it helps me to get in touch with my old friends, which is schweett!!!  But it will never be anything more that a communication platform, not a door for a new stalking chapter.

Happy Halloween

To all my friends who busy preparing for their costumes

 HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!!

Even though I'm not celebrating it, nevertheless, I hope you guys have a blast celebration!! Just in case if anyone still going for Trick-or-Treat, I want some of the candies!!!

(Not-So) Happy Town

I know I'm a late bloomer when it comes to TV series but hey at least I didn't miss the boat like some people right?  By the way, when Happy Town came to our shores few months back (geez I can't recall the exact month but why bother =p), I have to say the trailer really caught my interest.  I'm not sure why, but spooky, mysterious shows always on the top of my list even though I have to watch my own palms most of the time haha!  So back to the show, I managed to watch the 1st episode but then I got too caught up with college (okay, okay I have to admit that I can't remember the aired time for the show).  Since I've only watch ONE episode I figured it won't hurt if I miss the show at all.

So fast forward few months, which happened to be last Saturday, when I was left alone at home (huhu poor me) early in the morning and was so lazy to do my laundry, I turned on the stupid box and guess what??!!  FOX was having a non-stop marathon of Happy Town!! Yippie!!! Mmm..yippie once more for me!!! Only GOD knows how excited I was at the time. To make things even better, it was the 1st episode and I only missed it for like 6 mins!! It really made my weekend even though it was a bit tiring to watch 5 episodes back-to-back (toilet breaks were really frustrating!!!!!).

Being me, to wait for another 1 whole week for the next marathon is the hardest thing on Earth (yea, I still didn't know what time the show aired. Poor me) so I Google with the intention to watched it online.  However, to my dismay, I found that after 8 episodes, the show is cancelled due to poor rating!!!  OMG!!  Why on Earth did they cancel the show? Why not cancelling those nonsense reality shows instead??  A reality show that screams PHONY!!!  I was really mad, I still am.  I was thinking not to continue watching the last 3 episodes but the urge to know who the Magic Man is really killing me.  So I watched the marathon earlier this morning (yup I woke up early so that I could watch it at 7 am).

So, did the show reveal who's the Magic Man is?  Not literally but if you digest all the clues, I bet you know who he really is but I hate the finale coz the plot is left hanging.  It left me with lots of questions that, unfortunately, no one was able to answer except making our own inferences.  Really.


So, what's my inference?  I think the Magic Man is Alice Conroy.  Well, Peggy Haplin did kill her, well at least tried to kill her but she survived.  To safe his wife, Sheriff Conroy agreed to keep his mouth shut about the murder so that Peggy Haplin won't know that Alice is still alive.  As a revenge, Alice began to kidnap people of Haplin town just to taint Peggy Haplin's reputation as the town's royalty (I think so).  Perhaps it was Sheriff Conroy who hid the hammer used in the murder at Meadows Boarding House.  Who is Henley/Chloe? I think Henley is Addie Haplin that was kidnapped by the Magic Man and Alice brought her up as her own daughter (Alice was using the name 'Suzy').  I think Tommy is Simon (Grieves' son who was earlier kidnapped by the Magic Man).  Alice (or Suzy) sent Henley to Happy Town to warn Peggy Haplin (indirectly) that the murder was not forgotten.  Why did the Alice kidnap her own DIL?  Maybe to make sure that Tommy will reopen and look deeper into the Magic Man's case and found out that Peggy Haplin is a bad person.  Why do I think Henley is Addie?  There was a scene where Sheriff Conroy kept saying that Chloe gonna make chaos and her blood is black? (the scene before he chopped off his hand) and in the last episode when Tommy asked him whether Peggy Haplin killed his mom, he, again mentioned about black blood which he referred to Peggy.  So there's must be a blood connection between the two right?  Why did Alice kidnap 5 other people, I don't know.  I just hope that there is another network co willing to take up the pieces and continue the show.  It's a real shame that a good show like this is cancelled.  It helps people to use their brains more.

A show with not-so-happy-ending =(

Stacy is Fergielicious =_=

I was listening to my MP3 when a fav song from Wild Orchid blasting from the speaker. Wild Orchid, mm... that trio gal group was a lil bit mmm ancient hehe but I love their songs. Their voices are fantastic.  I remembered Big Sis used to say "..White girls with Black voices".  Yup, they have big voices.  I really salute them for their voices, you know, until the day I found out that Stacy IS Fergie!!!  Erk, where has that big voice gone to, Ferg?  Then only I realized I was being fooled boohoo!!!

No more super admire feeling when listening to WO's songs. Pity me huhu.

The ever sexy Fergie - geez look at those abs!!!  When can I get 'em?

The younger version of Miss Stacy Ann Ferguson (yup she's the one on the right)

Fe Hagat

Was watching ART Top10 the other day when I saw this vid. Totally love it!! Love the colour of Nancy's lipstick!!

ps: Yea, I watch Art Lebanon channel quite often, even when I don't understand a word hehhe =p

Trek-A-Thon

After two years of deciding (haha that's quite looonnnggg), Missy Sabrina and I came to the conclusion that we are going to join next year trek-a-thon!!!  Whoa, that's new for us =)

I always wanted to join a marathon and I was surprise to find out that HUC organize our very own annually!!  Well, it's not really HUC but the Psych dept, which makes it extremely fun hahah.  We're Psych dept are all fun people who loves torturing other people, psychologically hahah!!  Yea right.
 
To prep myself for the marathon, I've decided to spend at least 10 mins every evening for training.  10 mins huh?  Geez, that's good enough you know.  I have lotsa other commitments that consume most of my free times (like memorizing those sexy Lebanese songs =P) so I guess 10 mins is better than nothing right?  I don't want to pancit during the marathon; it will absolutely defy the purpose of joining the marathon at the first place!!

To all Psych students, watch out for Missy Sabrina and me in the next Trek-a-thon!! Come out and support us and I'm sure we'll have a blast day!!!

Trivia #2

What do call someone who volunteer to do the work but in the end, didn't get the job done at all?

Tin kosong berkarat yang merbahayakan orang lain.

Trivia #1

What would you call if someone's trying not to be the leader (for whatever reasons!!) but wants everything to be his way???!!!

A super-duper control freak!!!

(Geez, I don't need people to boss me around like I'm a dumb person!!)

.10.10.10.

Yesterday was the day awaited by most people due to various reasons.  For me, it's simply because of the ever-cute date (Ten Ten Ten).  For other Malaysians, most of them perhaps, were because of the so-called wedding of the year.  Yup, it's the first Malaysian astronaut's wedding.  It's grand, I would say.  Mind you, I didn't actually watch it on air yesterday (yup it's live on TV!!) but since Mommy was so excited about it, I couldn't help to 'listen' to the whole event during my usual CSI reruns date hahah.  Imagine watching CSI with audio from a wedding ceremony?  Hahaha it's freaking weird man haha.  My visual sense led me to feel empathy, sad and arousal (aren't you dying to know who the killer is?) but my auditory sense kept signalling me to feel happy and awe.  I ended up with no feelings at all haha.

While many people were counting the time for the grand happy wedding (but I don't think it can beat Tan Sri Naza's daughter's wedding!), little that we know there's a terrible event happened slightly earlier. 12 people died in a massive road accident at KM223 PLUS Highway, involving (ready for this!): 2 express buses, 3 cars, 1 van and 1 motorcycle. Preliminary investigation said that one of the buses lost its control and rammed into the other side of the highway.  12 lives!!  Some of bodies found without arm and some even without head you know.  And it's not even their fault that the accident occurred yet they have to pay their lives for it.

See, we'll never know how we will leave this world one day.  I hope when it's my time, I won't have to suffer much, and hopefully my family won't suffer much of my death as well.

Am I Bad? Maybe hehe

Something bad happened today.  It's painful, I almost cried but I was glad.  It's fair and square.  Well, maybe not to me but I'm satisfied.  See, if we treat people bad, God will 'return the favour'.  And today, He 'pays cash' hahaha. God luck with that!!

That's It!!

Geez, I don't care if they gonna hate me after this BUT I"M TOTALLY PISS OFF!!!  Yes, I have a temper but I cannot help it if I'm the one spending all my available and unavailable time to do a work of 5 persons!!!  What am I?  Your servant???  I totally hate irresponsible people!!  I know it's been a long holiday for all of us, but IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY to do your work!!  I also have to do other assignments, revisions, and not to mention visiting my relatives but I make the initiative to sacrifice my sleep because I know it's my responsibility to do my assignment.  Perhaps our lives are different but that does not give you the right to burden me with your work.  Who are you?  A toddler traps in a body of an adult?  I'm not sure coz most toddlers I know are more responsible than you are.

For the record, I didn't do just because I was fooled by all those lame excuses you gave me.  I did it coz I don't want my grade to suffer just because of your lazy attitudes.

Mmm... I can't wait to hear your stupid excuses when it comes to report writing.  Gimme one and bear with my explosion.  Trust me, it won't be pretty on the eye, and on the ears as well.

Happy Eid Fitr 1431H

Eid Fitr is just 2 days to go, and I'm still in KL!!!  Geez, Lil Sis is on hols and Big Sis is on leave from tomorrow till 19th Sept.  Me?  Only on Friday!!!  I thought that the lecturers would be kind enough to cancel the classes and let us enjoy our Eid but I guess luck is not on my side this year.  Most prob next year, I hope.

This year, Mom decided to celebrate our Eid in Kuantan, again!!  Yippee!!  Could you imagine celebrating Eid in KL?  Wah, it'd be one lousy Eid haha.  We'll only be leaving to hometown tomorrow evening due to me having class tomorrow.  Most probably we'll be having our final Ramadhan iftar in the car tomorrow hehe, all thanks to Miss Aida yang baik hati hahah.  I'm sorry, but I can't afford to miss tomorrow's class (even though I'm dying to spend the time shopping for my purple scarf!!!).  To make things worse, I have to rush back on Sunday coz I have class on Monday morning!!!  Euurggghh!!  Who has mood to study when all you could think about is Raya??  Sigh. I guess it's another sacrifice that I have to make for my future.

Better off to class now.  Hope the lecturer won't ask me anything coz I don't think I'll be listening to her lecture hehe.  Luckily I bring my decoder =P

To all my Moslem friends: Happy Eid Fitr!!  I hope this Eid will bring all of us abundant of joy and happiness =)

The New Beginning

At last, the new semester has commenced.  I could not get any nervous haha!!  As I always said, it will be one grand extra busy semester for me as I need to juggle 5 real tough subjects!!  Ouch, I'm not sure how it will be but let's pray that I'll survive.  For those who are in the same battle, thousands of good luck for y'all!!  Hopefully we'll end this semester in one piece =)

Even though the prospect of the next 4 months is killing me, but still I'm kinda happy for it.  First, I'm attending Biopsych class, which means the opportunity to learn about the most complicated organ in the body: the brain.  Yup, I have to learn everything about the brain, right from it's structure up to how to avoid possible risk of Alzheimer (yup, we can avoid it!).  The best part: pushing my memory limit to memorize all those hard-to-pronounce terms haha!! Isn't that great??? =)

Yup, this amazing creature will be the centre of my attention for the next 4 months =)

Another thing that delights me is the datelines!!!!  Haha I know it sounds crazy but I think I can manage multiple datelines quite well =)  Perhaps it's one of my hidden talent that I've never realized before.  I guess my group members can relax a bit knowing that I'll take care of all these tedious things hehe.  Geez guys, you're sooo lucky to have me hahaha!!!

Geez, my stomach is growling now.  Still have to wait another an hour for iftar.  I better prepare the dishes or Mom will nag again hahaha!!!

ps: Today is the final day I'm with TingTong before she's off to her mom's kampung for 2 whole weeks!!  I'm gonna miss her terribly =(

Selamat Hari Merdeka

Wow!! Today's the 53rd Independence celebration for Malaysia. Independence huh?  I personally prefer the word 'Merdeka' than independence coz it sounds cooler hehe.  Who would believe that it's been 53 years since the very first 'Merdeka!' word was heard at National Stadium (known as Stadium Merdeka to the locals).  I wasn't even born yet.  Mom said it was a very special day as all Malaysians, regardless the colour and religion, gathered in unity for the most awaited event in our history.  As for Mom, it's extra special because on that particular day, a dear brother was born.  Unfortunately, Allah only lends him for a while. I never had a chance to know him but from the stories, I believe he'd be a fantastic uncle. May Allah bless his soul.  Al-Fatihah.

Happy Merdeka Day everyone!!

Aren't these dolls cute? Sorry but they don't make male dolls or the pic won't be as cute as this haha!!

A Reminder for Myself

Have you noted the one whose god is his ego?  Consequently, Allah sends him astray, despite his knowledge, seals his hearing and his mind, and places a veil on his eyes.  Who then can guide him, after such decision by Allah?  Would you not take heed?

Apakah engkau tidak melihat orang yang menjadikan hawa nafsunya tuhan yang disembah?  Lalu dia disesatkan oleh Allah dalam keadaan dirinya berilmu dan dimeteraikan pula atas pendengarannya dan hatinya, serta diadakan lapisan penutup atas penglihatannya?  Maka siapakah lagi yang dapat memberi hidayah petunjuk kepadanya sesudah?  Oleh itu, mengapa tidak ingat dan insaf?

- al-Jaatsiyyah (the Kneeling Down) : 23

Oh No!!

Within seven days time, my chaotic holiday will come to an end.  Am I relieve or what?  Not really!!  I just got next sem schedule and boy, I don't really like it!!  Wednesday and Friday will be a real torture for me as classes will end at 6pm!  Eeuurrgghhh.. how I hate late classes!!  Especially during fasting month.  How could I rush home within 1 hour and 20 mins?  Did I mention that I have to pass Pusat Bandar Damansara AND Bangsar AND Cheras??  Geez, guess someone will be having her iftar in the car, alone!!  Huhu, how pathetic!!

I always HATE late classes.  I know 'hate' is a strong word but that describe my feeling perfectly.  I'm always reckless during these classes, and I admit I can't focus in the classes as well, no matter how interesting the subject or the lecturer is.  Really!!  I rather wake up at 5am in the morning so that I could arrive early for 8am class rather than stuck in the traffic in the evening!!  There were times where I arrived home at 8pm just because of the traffic jam!!  That's 2 whole hours wasting on the road!!  Not to mention that I have to deal with some irresponsible drivers, which always get on my nerves.  And things can get worse when it's raining, unless it's been raining since 3pm that everyone's rushing home earlier hehe.

I wish I don't have to deal with this, ever!

Another thing that I hate is pain-in-the-ass group members.  Geez, I’m so allergic to them and I don' have enough patience to deal with them.  These people can turn me from a really nice girl into an ugly monster.  C'mon, you're all grown-ups, please be responsible and do quality work, not an oh-I-did-it-the-night-before-submission work. It's really NOT fair for other members who have been putting their best effort into the work only to get the mark pulled down by your poor, lazy work.  Enough of it already!!!  Everyone hates social-loafers!!

So if anyone decided to be a social-loafer, please stay away from my group. I don't need your lazy attitude hanging around me!!

Ramadhan Special

 Ramadhan is the most awaited time for most people in Malaysia.  Why?  The food, of course!!  I remembered one of my foreign friends said once "Malaysia's definitely a food paradise".  Really??  Geez, I'm not sure, for I never been outside of Malaysia (except Singapore, which is not that much different compared to Malaysia).  I have to agree that we have a very wide variety of food here, and most of them are available 24-7!!  Like Mommy said, living in Malaysia is a blessing, form the day you born till the day you die, food is our air!  Mommy, I don't know anyone who breathe food (mm..sucking the noodles through the nose?  Yucks!!)

The food feast has becoming more and more colourful with the arrival of Ramadhan.  If you don't believe me, try to visit any Bazaar Ramadhan and I bet my purse that you'll find at least one never-heard-in-this world cuisine.  As for me, I seldom look for the weird ones.  I always head to the best nasi ayam stall in my neighbourhood Bazaar.  I know, some people might go "What?  Nasi ayam?  Bukan bulan puasa pun boleh dapat"  Yea, I know but this kakak only sells her nasi ayam during Ramadhan.  Even though I'm on the phase of not-eating-any-chicken (that's include the eggs) coz I found out that chickens give me pimples (really!!) but I'm willing to take the risk just to have the yummylicious nasi ayam.

However, to my disapointment, the kakak decided not do any nasi ayam this year.  Huwaaaa!!  I'm so broken-hearted!!  But good thing is, I don't have to deal with pimples haha!!  So to cure my broken-hearted, I found a new dish to hunt for.  It's called Sarabai (I'm not sure how to spell it tho).  It's like some apam beras bakar (it is apam beras bakar), eaten with sweet durian gravvy.  It only sells during Ramadhan and it's selling like goreng pisang panas, you really have to fight to get one!  Even though it's kinda costly (RM2.50 for 5 small pieces) but both me and Mommy think that it's worth the fight haha!  Perhaps I should snap some photos of it tomorrow, if I could remember hehe.

Anyways, happy food hunting everyone!!!

My Projek Buku - Hati Seorang Lelaki

Another book by the great author, Pahrol Mohd Juoi.  The word 'Lelaki', which means a man, in the title made me thought that this book is all about man. Yeah, so what do a woman like me reading such book?  Because I need to understand men more?  Or I want to know the way men think?  I read this book simply because of the author, really.

The book is divided into four sections: notes from a son, notes from a husband, notes from a father and notes from a da'i.  Literally, da'i means missionary but I prefer to translate it as someone who preach Islam.

After 2 days reading the whole book, I was surprise to know how wrong I was regarding the title.  Yes, it stated as 'lelaki' but what it really mean is man, as in human, not the gender.  It teaches and reminds me of things I should know or already know.  Like the previous book, the language is simple yet never fails to touch the hearts of readers.  If you're looking for something simple but deep to read, this book is the right choice.

Life is not a Bed of Roses

I asked for strength,
And He gave me difficulties to make me strong.

I asked for wisdom,
And He gave me problems to solve.

I asked for courage,
And He gave me obstacles to overcome.

I asked for love,
And He gave me troubled people to help.

I asked for favours,
And He gave me opportunities.

Maybe I received nothing I wanted,
But I received everything that I needed.

"Allah burdens not a person beyond his scope.  He gets reward for that (good) which he has earned, and he is punished for that (evil) which he has earned."

"Allah tidak memberati seseorang melainkan apa yang terdaya olehnya.  Ia mendapat pahala kebaikan yang diusahakannya, dan ia juga menanggung dosa kejahatan yang diusahakannya."

- Al-Baqarah:286

"Verily, along with every hardship is relief.  Verily, along with every hardship is relief"

My Projek Buku - It's All about Love

I've just finished reading this book.  Impressive, my first thought when the final sentence in this book is fully absorbed not only by my mind, but my soul as well.

I remembered the day I decided to buy this book.  I was with Lil Sis and I noticed that she gave me 'the look' when I told her I wanted to buy this book.  Intentionally, I wanted to buy another book but this is the only book from the author that was available at the bookstore.  Looking at the title 'Tentang Cinta' (All About Love) and the review from some of well-known local motivators about the book gave me 'goosebumps'.  Well, I'm not an avid reader of love and romance genre.  I prefer my reading materials to be something that could stimulate my mind and soul and I like them to be challenging.  However, the author's work is not something I'm not familiar with.  I've been reading his blog for almost a year now (Genta-Rasa.com), and I have to say his writing is simple but yet never fail to make me ponder.

'Tentang Cinta', as the title suggests, is about love.  It's about the love between two people: a pair of lovers, husband and wife, parent and child, teacher and student, leader and follower.  There's also another type of love that the author trying to stress to the readers, the most important love of all: the LOVE between the Mighty and His servant.  The Ultimate Love.  Even though the subject is quite heavy, it is digestible as the presentation is relaxed and straight-forward. Even though the target readers are teenagers (that's why there's a lot of illustrations in the book), it is suitable for adults as well.

Reading this book make me realized what I really want, who I really wanna be, what my vision and mission in life. I know it might sound silly, but I did shed few tears reading this book. I highly recommend it to everyone. Trust me, if you're ready, you're a new person after you read this book.

Ramadhan El-Mubarrak

At last, the most awaited month is here.  I'm glad that I'm given another chance to live Ramadhan and hopefully I will be granted good health throughout the month.

 

To all my Moslem family, friends & acquaintances:

May this month of inspiration filled with Imaan and Taqwa.  May Allah bestow Nur and Barakah in your life and may Allah always keep you on the straight path.  May the Almighty shower you His choices blessings on your entire family during this month as well as the rest of the year. Ameen.

The prophet s.a.w. once said "Ramadhan is a month whose beginning is mercy, whose middle is forgiveness and whose end is the freedom from the Fire"

My Little Angel

I miss her terribly much!

A Year After...

Wow!  I couldn't believe it.  It's been over a year since my very first post, and I seriously wouldn't have thought that I have the courage and effort to maintain a blog!  That's a real accomplishment for me.  Well, babe, see.  I proved you wrong haha!! So where are my shoes??

After a year writing online (I know some of them are totally rubbish!), I now officially in love with blogging.  Good thing having an active blog is I can see how much I've improved over the year.  I have to admit that I already forgot some of the things I blogged, but when I read them again (how pathetic to read my own blog duh!), they remind me of the good, as well the bad times that I had.  Makes me realized that things can get ugly at times but there's always a way out, if you look hard enough.  They also remind me the great people that I've came across in life.  From those I love to those I barely knew, without them, my life won't be as great as it is today.

To those who never get bored reading the non-sense that I wrote, thank you very much for your support.  To those who agree with most of what I said, err I mean write, it's nice to know that there are people who share same opinions.  For those who always disagree, well...I'm always open for your criticisms.

ps: Geez, why do I feel so sad this past few days?  Feel like I'm about to lose something that greatly meaningful to me.  Oh Lord, please make me strong enough to face the ugliness of life for only You’re my great source of strength.  Amin.

When is My Turn?

Tonight's been quite busy.  Not physically, but mentally.  My counsellor gave me some 'homework' and I've to do some research thingy, which is not so bored I guess and I’m blog walking to few of my fav blogs, while listening to Lady Gaga's songs from the player.  Then one thing struck me. A voice of my dear friend, Miss Weeza, telling me, few years back, that one of my school friends died in a car accident.  I'm not sure why out of so many things I've heard, my mind and my heart chose this particular one.

I still remember my reaction towards the news.  I was shocked, confused, and sad.  She's only 20, and she's gone.  She was a friendly person, adorned by many for her voice and her gracefulness.  I still remember how she used to laugh at the rest of us whenever we're messing around during the dance rehearsal.  Or when we told her she sounded like a frog. Farhana.  I miss you.

Now, thinking back about the memories, I realized that I've been thinking about death quite often lately.  Am I afraid of death?  Nope, for I know no one in this world can escape from it. What I'm afraid of is whether I'm ready for death.  I felt I've done so many sins in my life.  To my Mighty One, myself, my parents, my sisters, my family members, my friends, my neighbours, people I personally know as well as those who I don't know (through gossiping, of course).  I've done a lot terrible things that I'm not proud of, and I hope God will forgive me for everything that I did.

When I open my eyes from sleep every morning, I feel glad that I'm still alive.  I'm glad that I have another chance to kiss and hug my love ones, to make them happy, to enjoy life with them.  When I go to sleep at night, I pray that I'll be given another day to live just to watch my love ones happy.  When I'm gone, I hope they won't be sad for my leaving.  I want them to be happy.  I want them to celebrate life.  I want them to move on.  I hope they won't forget about me though.

I apologize for every hurtful things and acts that I've done to every one of you.

Like a saying goes "Beribadatlah seolah-olah kamu akan mati esok hari, dan carilah rezeki seolah-olah kamu akan hidup seribu tahun lagi" (perform your religious obligations as if you'll die tomorrow, and find your good fortune as if you'll live another thousand years) so that each of us will find happiness in this world and Hereafter.

The Value of Knowledge

Lil Sis is nervous.  Haha pity her.  I know the upcoming SPM (Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia- equivalent to O-Level, sorta) is just a few months away and boy, she's officially under stress. Poor girl.  I remember the time when I had to sit for SPM.  It's one of the best experiences I ever had.  Mom just got her VSS and was at home all the time, but still I was so lazy to study.  It was fasting month, and instead of having the exam in the hall, my batch had to sit for it in our very classroom!!  The reason: there's a construction site nearby the hall so the principal thought it might diverted our focus.  Hahaha she's so concerned eh?  As for me, I don't need a construction site to distract me during exam, even the presence of invigilator near my seat is enough to make me restless.  Imagine someone peeks over your shoulder while you’re trying to write your answer, that's scary.  At least it was for me.  I just hate it, I'm not sure why though.

Back to Lil Sis.  I asked her what makes her so nervous and her answer was: getting the results!!  Oh boy, you're not even step into the exam hall yet, and you're worrying about the results??  Girl, calm down!!  It's just a paper with some alphabets on it!!  It's not the end of the world.  Whatever the result is, you’ll always be my lil sis and I'm always proud of you. Remember, 10A's or no A's (which I know impossible coz you're the most Bijak Bestari person I ever knew!) it doesn't matter.  I know lotsa straight A's students in school who turn out not to be an A person in life.  School is not just how many A's you can get, it's more than that.  School teaches you about life.  About relationship.  About yourself.  So, gather as much knowledge as you can get and apply them in life.  It's more rewarding if you could use that knowledge in your life rather than just vomit them on the paper.  Trust me, I'm old enough to know that.

I hate filling out the OMR form. Luckily my parents gave me such a short name or I need to bring extra hand to help me =p

Why Muslims?

Interesting facts that I feel worth shared.

The Young Mrs Smith

I always wanted to know how Miss Jolie looked like when she's younger so I did some browsing and found these. She's pretty huh? Somehow, her younger pics look kinda familiar eh?

I'm Having a Baby???

Big Sis told me earlier "You better have a baby A.S.A.P."  I was speechless by that.  A baby?  Now?  Are you out of your mind?  I'm not married, I'm not even dating anyone.  You know what Big Sis?  Why don't you have your own baby first?  You kan the eldest heheh.  Daddy said cannot langkah bendul heheh.

Me, having a baby?  Mmm...I used to think I was ready to have one.  Fortunately, since I've been helping Mommy taking care TingTong, only I realized that having a baby is not easy. Well, don't blame me.  I still remembered the day when I had to care for Lil Sis.  It was easy.  Even Mommy said she's surprised of how easy it was with Lil Sis.  Yea, Lil Sis always be a good, obedient one, unlike me who's a total rebellious haha.  Don't get me wrong.  TingTong is a wonderful baby, but she has her own temperament.  It's perfectly normal, she's just trying to be a baby =)  I'm glad that I have the chance of taking care her, she teaches me how a real baby should behave and make me realized that no, I'm not ready to have one my own.

I don't mind waking up in the middle of the night to feed and play with my lil ones.  I don't mind spending much of my time playing with her or him (or both ahaha).  I don't mind cleaning up the poo-poo and all.  I don't mind if my husband said "I want you to stop working and take care of the babies".  Seriously, I don't mind, provided that he could give me what I want (read: shoes!!).  What I'm afraid is I can't be a good mother.  I'm not sure about other people but for me, being a mother means not only I'm responsible for conceiving and giving birth to the baby, I'm also responsible to educate and shape my children to be persons with healthy personalities and soul that obeys the Mighty One.  I don't think I'm ready for that.  It's a huge responsibility.  I'm not saying that I'm running from the responsibility.  I know one day I'll be ready but that day is still far.  I still have to equip myself with the knowledge. Geez, I guess being competitive is not always good after all.

Well, Big Sis, I'm sorry but I can't have babies right now.  Perhaps in 10 years time.  I need to find a good husband first hehe.  Perhaps you can help me with finding one eh?

Imagine if I have babies this many?? Sure meriah haha

Lessons Learned (Yea Right)

I always love Disney classic cartoons.  They remind me a lot of the beautiful days during my childhood.  I especially love the six princesses.  They're so beautiful.  Princess Aurora (Sleeping Beauty), Princess Jasmine (Aladdin), Snow White (from the Snow white of coz), Cinderella (Cinderella), Belle (Beauty and the Beast) and Ariel (The Little Mermaid).  I still remember wanting to be them so much that I always pictured myself as one of them, I bet other lil’ girls do this as well =p  These are what I learned from all six movies:

The Sleeping Beauty:
1. We need to be aware of our surrounding.  Even when things seem to go the way we want it, somehow, somewhere there'll be challenges waiting for us in the most unpredictable ways like the wicked fairy's gift.
2. Sometimes when face with challenges, all our previous hard works might collided.  It's okay to feel frustrated if this happen, we're only humans.  But never forget that hope is always there.
3. Curiosity is good, but don't trust strangers.
4. Be careful of needles!! Ouch!!
 
Aladdin:
1. Be yourself.  You can pretend to be whoever you want to be just to impress someone but it won't make you happy.
2. Don't judge people by the way they look.  Who knows the short, chubby old man you met yesterday is actually a Sultan??!!
3. Be careful of monkey coz they're great thieves!!  I even had my slipper stolen by a monkey once!!
 
Snow White:
1. Dwarfs might look sinister but they have good hearts (yup even Mr Grumpy).
2. People you trust might one day backstab you so don't be too naive and gullible.
3. Apples are not good for health hahah.
4. When things look too good to be true (the red shining apple), be careful.
5. When the elders give you advice, listen to it and it might save your life.
6. It's nice to have a maid to clean up your house =)

Cinderella:
1. Girls MUST have at least one beautiful dress and a pair of killer shoes!!
2. When you don't have time to do things you've to do, outsource!!! (but don't let the mice do it for you).
3. Make a grand entrance to any party by arriving late (only applies to parties okay).
4. Curfew is good, or things will get pretty ugly without it or if you missed it =|
5. If you want to get something, work hard for it even if it means you have to search the entire kingdom for the person who could fit the glass slipper.
6. For shoe addicts, never ever got yourself a glass ones coz they can break into pieces =(

Beauty and the Beast:
1. It's okay to be a nerd, people still want you haha.
2. Always ask for permission if you want other people's stuff or the Beast will capture you!
3. Arrogant people are real pain in the arse so don't be one.
4. Even when life is bitter, never wish not to be apart of it coz giving up is the worse things you could do for your own self.
5. There's always good things in a bad person, and bad things in a good person.
6. People will always sacrifice for their love ones.

The Little Mermaid:
1. King Triton is always better and has more fun than Prince Eric hahah.
2. You can be cheeky, but never be forgetful or your parents will get angry.
3. Nature is a great place to learn lotsa things!!
4. Always keep your memorabilia (eg: photos, journals) coz they are the meaningful things in your life that you can passed down to your generations.
5. If you have a secret hideout (or a diary that you don't want to share with other people), make sure you guard it properly.
6. Never ever trust octopus (that's including Paul!).
7. Before making an important decision (like turning into a human), it's better to discuss with those who have more experience.  Then only you decide what's the best for yourself and others.

Phew! I never imagine that I could learn so much from cartoons.  These are my insights, it's okay if you don't agree with them. It doesn't matter.  By the way, here's what I found on the Net last night:

Haha it's true, if you look at it that way.  Whatever it is, my favourite is definitely Princess Fiona (I wonder why she's not included in the Disney's princesses?  She's a princess too, and she's cooler than those six princesses =p)

Pain in the Ass (No, I'm not Cursing)

I know this particular person.  Let's called this person Vex, from the word 'vexation'.  I don't really like Vex.  Honestly.  Vex annoys me very much.

You see, Vex has a big mouth.  I can't tell Vex anything coz I'm sure Vex will 'accidentally' tell some else.  'Accidentally' means you confront Vex and ask Vex why Vex told other people, and Vex's answer is "I'm sorry. It really slipped out of my mouth..".  If it happened once, okay fine, it's a real 'accidentally' but when it happens over and over again?  I read accidentally=purposely.

Secondly, Vex has this incredible ability to bad mouth other people behind their backs.  I really couldn't believe my ears the first time I heard it.  OMG! It's so awful.  The words.  The facial and body language Vex used.  I was so disgusted by the act.

Thirdly, Vex always talk about other people as if Vex know them.  Lemme rephrase that.  Vex always make up stories about other people as if they are Vex's best friends.  They are not.  I think Vex never seen a mirror before coz whatever bad things Vex said about other people were really the qualities that you can find in Vex, once you know Vex long enough.  And you think I care about all the made-up stories you told me all this while??  Puh-lease.

Fourthly, Vex loves giving me reason for not doing Vex's work.  Vex is very irresponsible. Don't give Vex any work coz: a) Vex will not do it. b) Vex will give so many excuses nearing the datelines. c) even if Vex did the work, the quality is very frustrating.  Really.

Fifthly, whenever you have a conversation with Vex, Vex will ignore you unless: a) it is about someone else (read: not about yourself). b) skipping responsibility. c) bitching about other people. d) the latest gossip in town.  What is Vex thinking? The world revolves around Vex?

My advice to Vex: stop giving me stupid excuses coz they are really stupid and I'm not stupid to believe them.  You are really pain the arse!!  Even my counsellor said you're toxic. Eeuurrgghhhh!!!!!  I don't like you!!
