These few weeks had been hell.
And it's still is mind you.
Just when i think everythings done, a problem or two here and there, and everythings pushed forward to next week, again.
Soon soon.
Lets see.
3 project submissions, 4 presentations, 2 assignment submissions, 2 labtests, 1 essay tests, un-done equizzes.
Next week.
Oh and not to mention drama production rehearsals and the looming common tests and exams.
But this stress is good stress i guess.
To everyone around me, if i have been very very very extremely moody or cranky or just plain ignorant, please forgive me.
I went to the liverpool match and IT WAS GREAT!
though, im too lazy to elaborate.
Only that ikin, faris, ihsan and i arrived at the national stadium at 3+ and got to the front of the crowd thanks tof faris' fans whom honestly made me feel like a loser liverpool fan with all their enthusiasm. haha.
It was great to see my heroes in the flesh!
Had my haircut today. i think it looks fine except that the behind-side (i wont say backside) of my hair was cut a tad too short but its nice anyways.
Met THE MAMBANG LAME (its lama/lame as in long in malay not lame as in..urgh you're so lame zomgz)haha.
She looks even more stunning every time i see her again.
Kakak2 Uni already ceeeh.
She brought her little bro along whom imo has grown up so much since the last time i saw him which was more than 1 and a half years ago. (i still remember him bedal-ing his kfc chicken)
It was quite weird at first but after enquiring about football and stuff (i mean seriously, what easier similarities can two malay dudes have) i managed to crack the awkward silence stage.
But worse was to come when she brought me home (stop thinking dirty bitches).
It wasnt so high in my id wana go list but well i had to pray and take a look at her problematic laptop.
So like...yeah...that was what we did...stare at her problematic laptop.
But her house was lovely, cosey and most importantly, tidy.
Unlike mine but who can blame us since we're always so busy.
Well whatever it is, im so happy that ive met her again.
I really hope that this would happen more often,
if only we we'rent so busy.
but who knows? =)

It's 330 AM and ive just finished reading the most amazing book ever.
A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini.
It's about the torn, tortured, uprooted lives of two girls in war-torn Afghanistan.
It made me wonder, over and over again, how lucky i am to be living in this country.
With an intact family, intact home, intact...limbs.
I feel guilty and sick to the stomach sometimes when i worry about things so trivial, so childish as compared to the worries of these girls.
Not enough money for a new guitar effect? My hair is too messy? Don't wanna use the new shirt that i bought yet?
Oh God please forgive me for all these worldly worries.
I want to do more. Both in j and the outside.
To help, to strive, all in the name of God of course.
But i don't know how, where, when to start.
Either that, or maybe i am just too busy to, right now.
But insyaAllah, in the future, there'll be a way. There always is.
The bigger the test (cobaan, musibah), the bigger the reward(pahala) at the end of it.
On a lighter note, i went out with Cherry J last night.
Met her at doby ghaut after her shift.
Oh did i mention that prior to meeting her, i just wasted $12 and 2 hours of my life on the worst
stand up comedy show ever? yes i did. horrible.
Okay so after much deliberation, discussion and of course, argument, we headed to Al-Ameen (WHICH IS SO MUCH BETTER THAN AL-AZHAR DUHHH) for dinner.
Or rather, really really late dinner (it was around 10+ when we reached).
She had fish and chips and i had MUTTON MASALA and we both had horicks godzilla which was ze shitz!
Eating was, eating.
But, well, just to say.
I really treasure our time together u know.
The talk, sharing, arguments and of course laughs...everything.
Don't let your problems burden you okay?
You're a strong girl. A stubborn girl. You'll manage.
And you'll always have me, to talk, to confide into and of course...to scold -____-.
You're a very dear friend, Cherry J =).
OH YES AND I WATCHED HARRY POTTER WITH ATEH IKINZ EDDYZ AND HADIZ just now.
auntie cousin cousin cousin haha.
it was great! cant compare it to the book though but as a movie it was great.
AAAHHH EMMA WATSON YOU MAKE MY HEART MELTZZZ.
ginny weasley you're not bad too =D.
HAHA. And the BELLATRIX. SO HOT AND SEXY IN ALL HER EVILNESS.
combined with megan fox from transformers, i may have just completed my potential 4 wives for the future. HAHAHAHA!!!
sweet dreams, silent readers ;)

Ive been thinking a lot about education these days.
The irony of having lots of jc friends is that...well...
Ive been receiving a lot of news about friends who's going to university and all.
Excelling.
That day, accompanying su to NUS.
It really kinda hurt...haha.
I always took for granted when my parents said "Do your best and try to make it to NUS la, since its so near home."
But it really on occurred to me that day, on the way to solat Jumah.
A world class uni just a stones throw away.
Sometimes i wished that i couldve woken up sooner.
Not play around like an idiot back in secondary school.
And here i am now stuck in a course that i honestly dislike.
Why am i so hard on my siblings (forget izdi, im talking about the other two).
Its because i dont want them to end up like me now, regretting regretting.
I feel lost now. What value would a mediocre poly diploma in IT hold?
Especially with someone who's niche area is extremely different.
I dont know what to do, i wish i could turn back the clock.
I want to study math, science, ENGLISH and malay again.
I want the whole, general education feel.
Im sick and tired of specialising in a course that i dont prefer.
What should i do now, what should i do.
Our fates are written, written by God.
But our fates can be changed, with Doa of course.
Oh Allah, please show me a sign, a light, guidance towards a better way.
Amin ya-rabbal al-ameen.

I know that the Al-Quran is not meant for public display or public praise for reciting it's verses.
But i guess its okay for one to admire such eloquent recitations.
Voices that Allah bestows upon ones that He chooses.
MasyaAllah, this young boy is one of the chosen few.
And may Allah bestow me the ability to recite the Al-Quran as beautifully as this.
And of course, the ability to understand and practice Its Message.
Take your time off to listen to this people, its really beautiful.
With near perfect tajweed (insyaallah).
The Surah (Chapter) he is reciting is Surah Ya-Sin, Ayahs (Verses) 1 to 12.
Ya Sin being letters that are one of the miracles of the Quran, and none but Allah (Alone) knows their meanings.
Here's the meaning.
I seek refuge with God from Satan the accursed.
In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
1) Ya'. Sin.
2) By the Wise Qur'an,
3) you are truly among the Messengers,
4) on a Straight Way,
5) (and this Qur'an) is a revelation from the Most Mighty, the Most Compassionate
6) so that you may warn a people whose ancestors were not warned before wherefore they are heedless.
7) Surely most of them merit the decree of chastisement; so they do not believe.
8) We have put fetters around their necks which reach up to their chins so that they are standing with their heads upright,
9) and We have put a barrier before them and a barrier behind them, and have covered them up, so they are unable to see.
10) It is all the same for them whether you warn them or do not warn them for they shall not believe.
11) You can warn only him who follows the Admonition and fears the Merciful Lord without seeing Him. Give such a one good tidings of forgiveness and a generous reward.
12) We shall surely raise the dead to life and We record what they did and the traces of their deeds that they have left behind. We have encompassed that in a Clear Book.
Just...beautiful.

Sometimes you just know that you don't and will never fit in.
And, well, during those times, you know that you don't want to actually.
We can all work together.
but all in all, we all know that we're all on a different level.
Altogether.
But there'll always be people on the same plane.
New ones, old ones, forgotten or hidden.
I know you, i know your name.
But its the first time.
It just takes two hands to clap.
Well i really had fun at the acoustic gig @ starbucks!
So many great gigs upcoming!
ATC, Tacit Aria, AJA LAUNCH. WOOOHOOO!!!
Lepak-ed with the peeps, old ones and new ones (as in..the ones i know).

Yesterday yesterday which means on tuesday i went out with Iqah Fishball (ikan, fishface) and fadlul to watch transformers!
I dont know why kaye said it sucked cos i really really enjoyed it. You would have to watch the first one to understand the second though (but like, who hasnt watched transformers 1 tell me?)
Okay so we were supposed to meet up at 2 but me being me i went out at 1.55 and ikan did the same and she reached the latest so fadlul had his retribution for coming late that time when we went out with suerya (suerya i miss your 3 bulan HAHA).
Stoned at the starbucks while waiting for the movie, we decided to go get snacks at carrefour but ended up buying only sushi instead (i mean, who has sushi for a movie? ITS DAMN COOL RIGHT).
The outing made us reminiscent of our year 1 drama times (i really miss those times =( ). From the many rehearsals to the many outings to woodlands & bukit panjang after rehearsals. And the 'mak kau bangels and hiphop in the tfa'. The three of us would always stick together. Alas, good things have to come to an end via the Ikan's quitting of school and fadlul's quitting of drama =(. But oh well we're all still close after so long.
After that me and fishface dragged fad and his gf nabila to jurong point to meet ryan, ikans bf (they were reluctant cos its at the extreme end of the west and they are kental east siders). But after much persuation and negotiation we succeeded!
Had dinner at banquet and walked around before going home. All in all it was a great outing with great company =)).
Went out to accompany suriani aka the really really short sotong to NUS for some form submission thingy. To be honest su, i quite envy you for making it to NUS eventhough its a bus ride train ride bus ride there from your home while its only a stone's throw away from my place. Okay la more of a 10 min bus ride but u get my drift. But hey, it's your rezeki and you fully deserve it unlike the procrastinating slob of an ex boyfriend slash close friend HAHA. But who knows insyallah one day i just might be able to squeeze through and get a place. Insyaallah amin =).
Dragged her to holland V, thinking that there's halal food there but alas it was a kafirrun(kafir-run...get it?) place filled with non-halalness...and quite a number of hot angmohs but thats not the point).
Took 106 down to orchard to fulfill my shopping needs.
We practicall tawaffed (cirucmumbulated) the whole of the orchard road shopping belt.
From taka to wisma to wheelock to tangs then back to taka then to centrepoint JOHNLITTLE.
YES AND I BOUGHT 1 FREAKING NICE TOP FROM SPRINGFIELD FOR $35 (seriously 35 la!!!) and a pull and bear shirt for $50!!! ZOMGZ SLASH PRICES PEOPLE!
And 2 plain shirts and a singlet from john little for $5 each!!
AND I MADE A JOHN LITTLE CARD.
it was hilarious la cos when i wanted to pay, the aunty cashier told me it just takes 5 mins to make the card and i could get a 3% rebate and many other exciting offers. Suriani was like no no no...omg i cant believe youre agreeing to this! I told her though that it was all in the ultimate shopping experience. She just laughed along.
5 minutes my ass. When i wanted to sign up, of all times, the computer had to break down. And we spent half an hour there instead. From 1 kpo makcik to 5 kpo makciks all staring at us. Su, for in all her kindness, kept pointing at me and telling them that im the one who's signing up and not her. THANKS ALOT!
Sent her home after that. Her area is really...ulu.
Well all in all, i had a great 3 days of this week. So now, back to the books baby!.
Unfortunately, amongst all the fun and laughter, all of us totally forgot to take pictures -_____-.
