:: Hols pt.1 ::

Salam, good day peeps! It has been a very long time since I've written something here. Spiderweb - figuratively speaking as in the condition of my dear blog. Anyway, this hols, I'm surely gained weight - yes, I did. Mostly I stayed at home - doing chores while sister busy with SPM, younger brother went to aunt's house at Kinarut, another one helps with mum's store, mum busy with her store and dad with his office works. Updates? Not so much. Broadband cut off, so I have to use home network instead. I seldom surf the Net when they [my young siblings] are not around. Also, my uncle got married last Sunday and fortunately, I did took a few photos [and maybe that's why I don't want to upload it on Facebook]. One more thing was that my drawing tablet has officially malfunctioned - or not, I should probably checked it again before writing 'new tablet' in my wish list. Oh yes, I also watched movies online as well as dramas in KBS World. Having all the lovey-...

A special day for me. Thank you all, have a blissful year ;)

:: National Drama Competition 2012 ::

Image
Salam and 'Hi', peeps! Am in procrastinate mode and not willing to have some revision for now. Anyway, this is not what I will updating about. Today is the national drama competition, held at the auditorium at Kompleks Jabatan Kesenian dan Kebudayaan Negeri Sabah. For your info, the complex is the new building nearby the campus. It looked like ... hmm, Minangkabau styled. It has been a very fascinating experience, visiting the new building. The things that captivated my attention the most were the ENORMOUS auditorium and the ANTIQUE-YET-BEAUTIFUL staircase [as shown in the photos at the left]. Would love to go there again! About the competition, there were 14 teams [and this has already excluded the W.P. Kuala Lumpur team] who participated in this. Overall review; Nice props. There were some props I really love there, how I wish to own those roti canai. LOL. Themes were mostly on integrity, peace and love and genre - slice of life and comedy. There were the d...

:: Exams! ::

10/29 CHILDREN'S LITERATURE  11/02 LEARNER AND LEARNING ENVIRONMENT 11/03 ELT METHODOLOGY 11/04 PHONETICS AND PHONOLOGY Here's a list of my upcoming exam papers for the WHOLE week. I'm not sitting for exams in 7 days straight though, just to exaggerate on how much I DISLIKE THE FACT THAT THE EXAM'S ON WEEKENDS. The only time I want to have a piece of mind with television. The only time I get to see my family. It will be taken from me! I hope I manage to revise some important chapters for the exams. Wish me luck peeps! Good luck to all those who will be taking exams starting by tomorrow too! ps. Currently procrastinating for a while. By the way, the template's nice right? I missed the old one though. :P

:: Doubts on You ::

Salam, good evening peeps! Am procrastinating from studying for a while  to spend time with my long-abandoned blog. [ Lama sangatkah, cik adik?  #being rhetoric]  So here goes nothing. With the drama happening recently, I can simply said that there were doubts on the truth. There are times when I begin questioning the real deal. What I was told HERE is SO DIFFERENT as to what I was told THERE. What I have witnessed HERE is also DIFFERENT as to compare with THERE. There are times when this feeling existed, I can't simply trust those words coming out from their mouth. Twisted truth or not, I can't say. The one who knows what happened is YOU, surely.

Short photo collections for a short update from Gaya~ That's all for now, till then!

:: Reckless ::

Salam and hello peeps! First of all, sorry for deleting latest entry. My mind has been witnessing some bad things last week so I was feeling hesitant about everything at this point. Okay, the topic for today's entry is 'reckless'. I believe people do something recklessly because they can't control their emotions. Being reckless is like driving in 120km/h without considering the cars around you and involved in an accident because you hit a traffic pole. I bet you have done something without thinking twice that caused a lot of dissatisfaction and regrets in the end.  You see, when you did or said something that could hurt people's heart and NOT apologizing in the first place, you have broke their trust over you. Your family and friends, to be frank. In fact, it is worse to be hurt by a good friend rather than a girl/boyfriend. It is worse to be hurt by family members than your relatives. Perhaps it was not directly towards those who you have aimed, but it sti...

:: Autumn Anime 2012 Reviews! ::

Image
Salam, good evening peeps! Finally, new Japanese animations arrived. So, I've watched a few anime(s) for this season. Here are some reviews for y'all! [Image source :  link ] First is 'K'- yes, that's the name. [You might need to type 'K anime' when you're trying to ask Mr. Google, LOL] What I can tell about this one is that the characters have powers [or so] and frankly, I merely know the characters and NOT the PLOT. Sorry about that, peeps! FYI, there are a lot of 'beautiful boys' characters and I really loved all of them! [especially Yashiro and Kuroh~] :3 For fellow Malaysians who are subscribing Variety pack in ASTRO, you can watch this new animation live, with same timeline as Japan,  from ANIMAX! Recommend this animation for those who love beautiful boys! :3

:: Appreciating the Culture! ::

Image
Salam and good [late] night, peeps! Just a simple and sweet update from yours truly. *giggle* Okay, few hours back, there was 'Apresiasi Warisan' or I would call it as Culture Appreciation. This one was organized by the Chinese Society and yeah, you can expect two languages from the emcees - one spoke in Malay and one in Chinese [in which I didn't know whether it was Mandarin, Cantonese or any other related ones]. Okay, back to the topic. There were many performances which are classical dances, Chinese opera, playing classic instruments, Diabolo [one of folk toys, if not mistaken] and the highlight - THE 24 Season performance! [Well, it's more into drumming and I'm loving it!] Back then, I enjoyed all performances and also enjoying snapping photos although it was not that good, I think. Aside from that, I have to redo an assignment which has made me feel devastated. In contrary, I have doing some lyrics rearrangement and have a thought to do a cover for it. We...

:: That Moment ::

It happened one fine day when you met with a mere male stranger. You were chit-chatting as you walked side by side. Realizing that when you were about to separate ways, you haven't asked the name yet. By the time you heard it, you were surprised because he was used to be in the same school as you. Might as well former classmates or former lovers or a student you knew by his name. Even after separated, you still kept in touch. That moment will strike to anyone. That includes me. I have experienced such a situation. Well, it could also be a girl too, you see. I didn't mean it for boys only. :P

:: My Weekends ::

Image
Salam, good day peeps! This week, I went back home and guess what? We have a new family member! Meet ... *drum rolls* Miniham, as in 'Mini Hamster'. Well actually, that's the name I want to call it, because Miniham is as cute and fluffy as a hamster especially when rolling itself in round. And BTW, it's a female. :3 Also, I went to my old school for a sport event. There were marching from 3 different division; RED , BLUE and YELLOW . That would be also included running in different categories, prize giving ceremony as well as lucky draws. But the highlight was the pom-pom performance by the pupils there. Can you just imagine that they used Psy's Gangnam Style for their music?! Seriously, I liked their performance. They made my day. Also loved the foods there :D Well, there will be more events happening in the campus especially for the upcoming Wednesday. Surely I can't miss that one. Also, a special event this Friday. So, that's all for now, till t...

:: Done with You! ::

No more pain for my next night. Except for regular tasks. For you, I shout triumph! Yeah, I feel free without having any assignment! LOL. Thought I would say something else? Well, not at the moment. I still have to do tasks such as doing kit for third week ABM of Literasi Bahasa. Then, I have to revise for Phonetics test TOMORROW. Then, I'm going to prepare myself for presentation for Phonetics too. Then ... all that left is examinations! Oh, by the way, last Tuesday, my batch have sat for three papers respectively; Bahasa Melayu Komunikatif II, Literasi Bahasa and Literasi Nombor. Thank God, the examinations are doing just fine, hopefully it is. :) So, the papers left for exams are Learner and Learning Environment, ELT Methodology, Children's Literature and also Phonetics and Phonology. [If I remember it correctly] Wish us all luck for Phonetics tomorrow! :)

:: B.I.G. the 2nd ::

Image
Salam, good evening peeps! Anticipating this entry now? *being rhetoric here* Anyway, I just going to write about the  Bina Insan Guru  second phase. As to compare with the first one - camping, this time all of us, PISMP January 2012 intake teacher trainees, were doing social service in Donggongon Town, Penampang. Not only the place is nearby the campus, the second phase of this program took about 10 hours [and I'm not joking]! Let's proceed now, shall we?

:: Not-so-Live From Campus ::

Image
Salam, good evening peeps! Here's some recap before heading for the main event :P You see, yesterday, the volleyball tournament was held and again, our netball team played the first set and lose it again. [Very predictable since our team was against the home team; the volleyball team.] After that, the netball club had meetings regarding to our last tournament and upcoming ones too, and then played a mini game of our own in the court. Aside from that, I was also watching people playing basketball just beside the volleyball court. Yeah~ :3 Moving on~

:: Dear Assignments ::

To my dearest assignments,  Please be nice with me. I couldn't bear myself to do this without guidance. To even see you in print is something I merely faced everyday. Every week, you got lesser and lesser but when it still here, I can't say 'No' for you and it is frustrating so much!

:: Packed in Gaya ::

Image
Salam, good day peeps! Well, for past few weeks now, the campus has been getting busy and schedules to submit assignments were  postponed again and again. Still, I'm glad we got to submit in time. *holy light* Anyway, here's some updates to the activities, LIVE from campus!

:: The Pain in My Brain ::

I was struggling with assignments after returning back in campus. Yeah, that has been the main reason for ... dark circles and swollen eyes, back pain, migraine, headache. Even few came late into the class. The previous week and this week have been the most busiest weeks I ever know. I even ended up sleeping in early morning. Bummer. :P

:: Another Chance ::

Hey there peeps! Now time for some updates before heading to illustration for story book! Have read about my first experience in Program Bina Insan Guru  last semester? I have told you before that I was appointed as a leader in my group for the program. I recall it well about how it felt like when trying to handle 11-12 persons in a group. Hectic, you see. I didn't manage to become a VERY GOOD leader. I felt useless and clueless and ended up being a total blank! So, that was during last semester, where the exposure was exposed. And you see, this semester's program will be a ... *drum rolls* SOCIAL SERVICE~ Yay! [read:in-the-middle tone] Thought I will be an ordinary member in the Documentation and Photography committee along with other 3 members, each representative is from different group. But, no, I still am a leader. What makes it challenging is that, they put trust on me for this. So, I will redeem that tainted opinions of me not trying to be a leader. I was...

:: Law of Attraction? ::

Say, let me tell you this; "Your feelings, too, can lead your life either in good way or not." It is true, you see. You will fully live life with good feelings ... IF you are in a very positive mood and VICE VERSA! Hmm. An example; you woke up with despair in the morning. Despair is a negative vibe. Therefore, with this slight of the negative feelings, you will end up having a bad day. Okay, now, would you believe me if I told you this; "You attracting things to happen as it is, with your thoughts?" Hmm. Example; let's say you don't want to be late. That thought will attract with surrounding. Thus, you will get late with traffics and other circumstances. Simply said, thoughts becomes real. Or, is it not?

:: あなたはあなたです ::

あなたのスタイルの変化を見るために、どのように驚くほど素晴らしいどんなに、それは私はあなたが誰であるかのように見ての方法を否定することはできません。 Direct translation; No matter how surprisingly amazing to see changes in your style, it can't deny the way I looked at you as who you are. 

:: I'll try ::

Hey there, peeps! [Salam] Well, this has been two nights since returning back to the dormitory. And so, the fight over assignments has begun! Yeah, I will fight all the way for my grade. But then, no matter how I try looking good side of it,  I can't stop seeing all of it as a pain in the neck! Therefore, I decided to procrastinate for a bit. This is a luck that this week we need to submit only TWO. And then, goes the same way for next week and next two weeks!  I'll just try to do it little by little. Who knows, I might finish in time? :P

:: Inspired with Limit ::

Well, there are times when I didn't have anything to say here. Therefore, I went blog-walking into my friends' blog and sometimes to random blogs. As I read them, I feel so inspired to write something alike that. But then, I can't just do that. That made me feel as if I'm stealing someone's idea. I feel it's so wrong. [Even when I did entries related to song lyrics I feel the same.]

:: Moments with Loves ::

Image
During the days I was in the school, I never thought to be bonded with the pupils. My first two days, I spent most of my time observing the place and taking photos of the school. [And also entered into my youngest brother's class] It was on the third day when I walked in every classroom. They were shouting " Cikgu baru datang! " and getting excited to see me. I couldn't help it but to smile and I entered into their class for a while.

:: Merdeka Raya ::

Image
Hey there peeps! I'm back with my second entry of the day and this time it's *drum rolls* about Merdeka Raya at SK Sungai Damit. Yesterday, the school celebrated their 'Merdeka Raya' event. There, the children were into their Eid mode and wore all kinds of baju kurung ,  baju melayu , and cute outfits as well as the Muslim girls were showing off all kinds of shawl styles~ While these pupils waited, the teacher were ... ... busy arranging foods on the designated table and sorting out kuih raya for all children to eat. Seeing how hectic it was in the teachers' room, I decided to be excluded from there and ... ...taking loads of photos of the students [Do click the photo to view it in larger size] as well as playing around like a child with them. LOL! I know it's very childish but I can't help being one. Thank goodness I was not doing practicum there. I'll be dead meat if I was. :P Well, I have fun on my last day. That's all for this...

:: Eid ul-Fitr 2012 pt. 2 ::

Image
Salam, good evening peeps! Few hours back, we have Raya open house at home sweet home~ [Yay!] As for the main menu, visitors could choose either to eat rice or soto ayam [or chicken soup] an also those little snacks! I must tell ya', that mainly, our guests are relatives nearby and then, along with my lil sister, lil brother and her friend, we went to another open house nearby the neighborhood! * tampar diri sendiri * Aside from foods [and angpau ], the most fascinating part of the open house was that we can get to see those relatives that we didn't meet for a long period of time. You can see how much their appearance changed and how amazing it was to see such change in them. I got surprised back then, when I met those people back, especially a short, cute boy I used to know years ago has grown up into tall, good-looking boy. Like seriously. I just noticed it by the time they went back home. Anyway, I have fun - eating, serving the relatives, dish-washing and watching ...

:: Eid ul-Fitr 2012 pt. 1 ::

Image
Salam, good night [I guess], peeps! In few minutes, it would be the second day of Eid ul-Fitr. So, let me summarize what happened on the first day of Syawal yeah? Anyway, Ramadhan has passed its period and now, it is Eid ul-Fitr and I am excited, as usual. Oh yeah, our family got the color of turquoise as our main theme. It's very different as we have our own taste of colors. Thanks to my lil sister, we have matched and unified attires for this year's Raya! Of course, when it comes to Raya, it would be all about the foods! Certainly, there are ketupat and rendang as well kuih-muih and all sorts of other dishes you can see such as rojak, tom yam  and lots of more deliciousness! In short, I visited a lot of houses to enjoy such amazing delicacies~ Nyum! Okay, that's all for now! Till then! ps. I do look adorable in that style right? :P * tampar muka bertubi-tubi *

:: Fickle ::

I believe a person's heart is fickle. That is when he/she feels something other than usual towards those people around him/her and ... end up having too many inner monologues and perhaps thinks too much. Heart is as fickle as weather. Being inconsistent to how you feel for a certain person. Not able to define clearly on your relationship. Over think of what rumor had said. It makes the confusion within. You know it would not change anything between you and other side. Let alone lovers, even friends and family members too!

:: Wacky Wednesday ::

Image
Salam, good day peeps! Well, as how I put the title for this entry, yesterday had to be the wackiest day of my last week in the city.

:: Upcoming Raya ::

Salam, good day peeps! This upcoming Raya will be [somehow] more bitter-and-sweet one. Not that I am sad to celebrate Raya this year [because I have always be happy]. Not due to lectures to attend for two-week holiday from the campus. [Which makes me really thrilled to stay at home!] It's just that ... our assignments have mounted up already. The only assignment I've submitted so far is the numerical literacy. The rest? * gegelung rumput masuk ala country * So, despite the holiday mood rushed my mind, I can't just sit and eat cookies right? p.s. my new baju kurung  has already done. And also, I've bought myself shoes and girls' clothing. LOL!

:: It's bad but ... ::

This happened during my outing with my friends back at the city. Went for buy clothes and shoes, at least that was the thing they did. Anyway, this one has nothing to do with the above. Just then, one of my friends was really annoyed with this couple. I wouldn't say why [since I feel not to tell anything]. Seeing the couple with the men embraced his lover in public is something I would rather see at somewhere like Paris. And then, somewhere in the area, I was busy watching the purses as I stumbled a boy with his mother. He murmured, " Ish! Sana orang mau jalan, sana juga dia berdiri! " Well, of course his mother gave him lectures of his behavior. I ended up smiling in anger. I thought that boy was very rude. To be honest, I knew I might be wrong by telling these things. I'm truly sorry. But, to cope with such rudeness? I have my patience limit too!

:: Gone Money, GONE! ::

This year's Ramadhan has been a very tempting month for me. Not only that I have to tempt myself from foods & drinks, I have also been tempted GREATLY in aspect of MONEY! I felt that this month has been the month of paying-up-debts! Perhaps it was not a best thing to buy those DLSR then. I thought it would be alright. But now... I realized that it will get less and much less from now onward! I don't even bought comic book since fasting month started! Yet I still need to pay up someone's debt at the moment! I'm just hoping that I can survive!  Guess this has been a great money issue especially for an OTAKU, which is ME!

:: Say It or not? ::

It is all right to say what you feel there, by bluntly face one another. It is because the stings would not last long. People will settle their problems easily. But, there are people who cannot tolerate. As words are so much hurtful and painful and leaves great impact in one's mind. It cannot be removed and deleted as easy as how you do it on PC. Still, I believed that when people say harshly, just take it as challenge and make them speechless  with your effort to change their words!

:: Within the View ::

Within the view, there is a hidden truth. Even if you hid it to people, it would still be obvious. People were eager to know what happened. Yet it was uncertain to trust all and might end up torn one's heart. Just tell it for real. Let people know that ugly part in the story. Don't make people develop hatred. It has been certain that all want a world of peace and harmony.

:: Sungkai at KFC ::

Image
Hey guys! Just a very short update from yours truly. Few hours back, all of us [TESL G2] went dining at KFC and ate together with our dear tutor. I must say, when you ate 2 [actually it was three] pieces of chicken, a regular French fries and a cup of carbonated drink, that made your tummy full right? At least that happened to me. Here are few [selected] photos to be displayed. One of the photos is especially the photos of my current roommates and myself. Others are photos of classmates. In the end, most probably we went back to the campus from full to half-full tank :P Well then, that's all for now. Till then! 

:: Happy Blessed Ramadhan Al-Mubarak ::

Salam, good day peeps! Just having few minutes break before next lecturer comes into the class. Anyway, I hope it's not too late to wish all Muslims around the world ... "Happy Blessed Ramadhan Al-Mubarak." It has been the fourth day of fasting month in this year. Yeah, I can't deny that I can be easily tempted with foods with the weather changes these days. Sometimes it can be too HOT and sometimes too COLD! Even so, I will try my best in completing the fasting days! Yeah!*spirited* Now, I'll be off for now. Till then!

:: Watch What You Say ::

To all readers [and silent blog-walkers]. There are things you can say directly and things you can't. Nevertheless, whatever you say to others,  do acknowledge that people might eavesdropping. You might not notice but there will be those people around. So watch what you say. Or, there would be a lot of dramas.

:: When G2 goes out together ... #2 ::

Image
Salam, good day peeps! It's been raining since last night and thus, making me feel so sleepy and lazy~ Hahaha! Anyway, last night [on that rainy night], our class has again to have group dinner at Kampung Nelayan Seafood Restaurant [I think that's the name since it crossed my mind first]. With classmates [and addition members for the night]. Not all of us can come due to their respective purposes. So, only 20 of us [including a senior and one of my classmate's girlfriend] went to the restaurant. I do hope that all of us can have an outing together, again. *smile*   Seafood and ... meat? Since the restaurant we went were seafood restaurant, then it wouldn't be perfect without ... SEAFOOD! There were so many of it, name it - crabs, prawns, fishes and squids! Not only that, they also have meat and the marinate sauce was very nice! So, we ate loads of food! But, it goes opposite for me. I'm not that full because I was busy taking photos of others. [E...

:: 2012 Summer Anime pt. 2 ::

Image
Hey there peeps! It's another review for few 2012 summer animation in which I already put on watch list! Here goes for nothing~ Chouyaku Hyakunin Isshu: Uta Koi is all about poem - love poems especially. Thus, you can expect  romance in every episode you watched. Besides that, from this anime, people will able to get to know  the structures of haiku [Japanese poetry] too. For those who love literature, I recommend you to watch this. Next one is Kokoro Connect. This anime unveil mystery and supernatural genre as five main characters - Taichi, Inaba, Aoki, Yui and Iori swap each other's personalities and thus finding their way to solve the mystery. To be frank, I personally like this because of personality swapping [which I do like to experience too]. For these genres' lovers, this is what you can watch throughout the season.

:: We Welcome You to Our Family! ::

Image
Salam, it's almost midnight. Even so, I wanted to write this so that I won't forget anything happened tonight~ So, few hours back, few of my friends and myself went to the TESL Welcoming event. In simple explanation, this gathering is simply to gather all the juniors and seniors of TESL so that they will get to know each other. It is a good event as to ensure the juniors getting to know their own TESL seniors so that if there's anything related to TESL, they can discuss among themselves.

:: Judging people ::

I am no good character judge since I myself lacks in many ways. I don't know whether anyone whom I know have ill-intentions towards me. I always have this mindset here *in my head* that everyone has their own persona. That Mr.Hyde-and-Dr.Jekyll persona, that is. *Get what I mean?* Sure I can't judge people because of what people did or said on me. Sure I can't just voice out everything and then embarrassed them. But I heard it. I, too, knew a little about everything.

:: Senamrobik 1Murid 1Sukan 1Malaysia ::

Image
Salam, good day peeps! Just this morning, we have this program 'Senamrobik 1Murid 1Sukan 1Malaysia' at the main field in campus. All of us did move our bodies and sweat [and laugh too, perhaps?]. With my DSLR, I took my first loads of photos today and yeah, I'm so loving my new camera! Of course I have fun aside from taking photos and doing the 'Senamrobik'. Let's take view of few selected photos, shall we?

:: Continent Drift ::

Image
Ice Age 4: Continent Drift is one of my mot wanted film list this year. Ever since looking enthusiastic on the posters and watching the previews, I vowed to go for it at once! So, here is how I think about the film, in one word, which is... A.W.E.S.O.M.E.! Honestly, I just love this film since the first one! Not only the characters are increasing and there is love sparks between the tigers, the plot is very fascinating and made you wonder whether the continents are made because of what the squirrel had done. [Well, it was the squirrel's doing that made those incidents.] Hahaha! ALSO, the film has too much HUMOR and made all of us in the cinema hall laughed our pants off!  I would like to recommend all to watch this film because it is very suitable for family and yeah, "We can share our happiness!"

:: Upgrading for the Better ::

Image
Salam, good day peeps! :D Guess what? The allowance has arrived for this semester! Despite that I only knew that for the last semester's exam papers, I passed but never get to know my results. Now, my heart raced fast until now. Anyway, today I just went for a family outing whereby I spent my money on foods for younger siblings and my aunt sponsored us, the youngsters to watch 'Ice Age 4' which I will write the review later on. ALSO!

:: 2012 Summer Anime ::

Image
Salam, good day peeps! Am here for a short update on my current interest - anime! And it's summer, so what can you expect less from here? Haha. So, I watched these two new animation yesterday and here goes nothing~ Arcana Famiglia [or you can refer the full title from the image] unveils the story of Arcana [a kind of power] users. An Arcana Duello was to be conducted by Mondo, the 'Papa' of the Arcana family and whoever wins the battle will be granted his / her wish as well as make one as the next 'Papa' and marry to his daugther. From here, it focuses on characters - Felicita [the daughter], Liberta and Nova. Not only that, there are also characters like Debito, Pace, Luca, Dante and also Jolly. Tari Tari tells the stories of five main characters - Wakana, Wien, Taichi, Konatsu and Sawa in their third-year high school year. They, who are too young to be addressed as adults, are no longer think themselves as children any longer as all of them have their...

:: Saturday Green ::

Image
Salam, good day peeps! Well, supposedly I posted this one last Saturday but I got no heart to do so. Now that I'm ready, so yeah, bear with my so-called awesome writing *punching myself* Okay, as the title said, our campus had this day named 'Saturday Green Fiesta' and [un]fortunately, our class were responsible for one of the events - Sukaneka, that was. Yeah, there was little dissatisfaction within last week. Even so, we made it a success [although I must say that we have to drag the new intakes for more participation]~! YAY! And so, afterwards, I helped out [a little] with the outfit for Green Fashion as well as illustration for Green Economy-themed comic. I even draw a character in that comic although it was just extra cast. Haha. By the time for the Green Fashion, to be frank, I wouldn't expect our group to win it, especially with other creative designs and all. I remembered the time when I didn't really feel the enjoyment and that was because of ... ...

:: An Existence like Air ::

It has been in that way, somehow. No one really sees me, physically that is. But then, I still assumed it, just like that. It doesn't matter anyway. I'm used of being an 'air girl'. My existence, despite that I can be seen, can only noticed by few close people.

:: Art Craze of Mine [or so] ::

[I just colored a recent artwork of mine few hours ago. How was it? *being rhetoric*]

:: From Up on Poppy Hill ::

Image
Hey there, peeps! [Salam as well] Few days back, I watched this Japanese animation movie entitled "From Up on Poppy Hill", or in its Japanese title "Kokurikozaka Kara". This movie was produced by Studio Ghibli, which is also known for few anime movies such as Spirited Away, The Cat Returns and Howl's Moving Castle.

:: Things I can't let go easily ::

To be frank, although I hate to admit it  I regretted few things  that I have done ever since foundation times. Perhaps I did a lot of reflective session within myself to see how much stupid things I have done so far. Even so, I can't let go of those incidents in my mind. One thing about me is that I can be easily affected by what people said about me, that's for sure. I wrote it before that I was affected during exams  because of this kind of uncertainty which I can't even solve by myself. I can't say I believe 100% of what people told me because that would mislead the truth . I can't say I didn't believe it because I know how certain people think, somehow . It's either way - I got stuck in the middle. I want to clear things out before it started to affect me so much but I was afraid if ever it came true.

:: Teacher's Day in ... June? ::

Salam and good day peeps! Well, as stated on my entry today, we have our Teacher's Day few hours back. Supposedly, it was going to be celebrated last May, but the exams were in the way. Therefore, Teacher's Day for Gaya campus was postponed. Nothing much happened during the ceremony, aside from technical problems. As usual in the ceremony, we have the speeches from the Director herself and other lecturers as well as performances such as choir, choral speaking, poem recital and traditional Bajau dance. Oh yeah, there was also video presentation and cutting-the-cake part too. ps. Anyway, I didn't record any of the performances and took many photos as how I used to, just a few.

:: Me, for now, at Gaya ::

Salam, good afternoon peeps! Well, today marks my forth day in campus. So far, it has been a very fascinating week. Not only that our subjects are different from before [although it's related] and new lecturers are going to teach us this semester, it's also that we have sports again after dismiss it for about half a year. This semester, I'll be playing Netball - yeah right. Before netball, I played handball and tennis in which that particular sport made me as the weakest of all . So, yeah, I will try my best excelling myself in netball, somehow~ *trolled* Oh yes, there will be new junior intakes of TESL, Bahasa Melayu and Pendidikan Seni Visual here in Gaya by next week. By then, it marks my seniority by two years already. Soon, June 28, will be the second-year anniversary in Gaya for us, my TESL batch and PC batch. Come to think about it, I never realized that two years passed just like that. Somehow, I miss my 17-year-old youth. HAHA. Well, I guess that's ...

:: Not until then ::

How do you feel when some of your items are gone by the time you rearrange your bed at your dormitory room? Anxious? Sad? Angry? Frustrated? Few of my roommates [and my close friend] got worried because theirs have been taken. My case, it would be only two large-sized plastic bags [and perhaps, my old lecture shoes too] and I'm not that worried since I have more. Anyway, by that incident, until then I realize that people do get that desperate .

:: I still want holiday! ::

Well, it has been a while since I left Gaya for three-week holiday. To be frank, what I have been doing for past weeks are ... chores, eat foods - loads of it, and sleep. And I can't get myself distracted from not watching anime. I am so not ready for tomorrow! 

:: Anime on Holiday! ::

Image
Hey, hey! It has been a while since I updated my blog. Well, so long for the so-called determination to be active writer during holiday. Realizing that I have one more week before holiday, I guess I have learned much to be more sarcastic rather than being comical. [As a teacher, I should be able to tell a few jokes right? *stressed*] Anyway, I have promised to review anime(s} [a.k.a. Japanese animation] during holiday and here goes my so-called awesome reviews~

:: Prom ::

Image
Do take note that this review is based on my opinions. This film, Prom, was released last year. It covered the stories of Nova and her fellow friends in high school as they were preparing the Semi-Formal prom. As the film progressed, it became complicated as the decorations for the prom has been ruined and there were only three weeks left, as well as each character faced their own conflicts; one of it was the time when Mei [Nova's friend] was accepted into Parsons and cannot make up her mind whether to enter Parsons or to go to the same university as Justin's [Mei's boyfriend]. The ending of the film was [kind of] sweet one, and you better find out why~*giggle* Well, to be honest, I only watched this last night and it was very nice as to watch the preparations for a school event and it reminded me with our TESL Night just now. Not only that, you might also like to watch the conflicts of a person who has no date for a prom. Oh well~ Overall, the presentation was very...

:: Miss me? [Rhetoric] ::

Salam, and good evening peeps! I missed writing in this blog, like seriously! Yes, I am back! As for my progression during hols, it has been rather interesting. It's because ANIMAX is finally on the TV and I love it! I watched it, usually in the morning until 4 p.m. And now, I'm spending my time at my bedroom, watching streaming anime online. So yeah, I had the interest to do a few reviews of Japanese animations, dramas and films for you all. Better get going for now, till then!

:: I want ... ::

Yeah, as I mentioned before, it's three-week holiday. So, I'm so far from the campus and the big city itself. Being at home, made me feel restless yet happy. The only thing I dissatisfy is that I wouldn't be watching ANIMAX! Mum promised to purchase the Variety package in return of me paying off the package with my allowance. Seriously, when she said that there's no need of purchasing it, I was in despair. I want to watch what I want aside from movies and Korean shows! Anime only shows up in weekends and it really annoys me because most of it are dubbed. Oh goodness, if only I persuaded mum more~

:: Things that unwanted and unexpected in life ::

Backstabber, liar, egoist,cheater, hypocrites ... Name it all, these are few examples of the unwanted and unexpected. After reading a friend's blog about being badmouthed behind their back, well, I begin to think back that incident with mine and reflected it. It happened few weeks back when the truth finally told on the wrong time. And perhaps, that was the main reason why I can't get a grip of myself. In fact, I was scared of things that will happen afterwards. "What if that person really hates me from the start?" "Should I say sorry then?" The inferiority builds up until it reached some point whereby 'It's happening, and I wish I could reverse the time or run from this situation.' Even so, it is the norm. It always ended up showing off at some time. In the end, all I can do is to keep going with its way.

:: First Year - First Semester ::

Salam, good morning peeps! [mode:high-in-the-sky] Yesterday morning was the final exam paper for our semester. I know whatever happen during four days of exam, it will be okay [although I still have been thinking a lot about my Linguistics]. Anyway, as soon as I have done that paper, I packed myself and went home. Now, I'm at home, thinking what I should have for breakfast. *hungry* Oh yes, want to wish you all ... HAPPY HOLIDAY! STAY HEALTHY! BE HAPPY! first year - first semester. Somehow, this semester I have been doing the same thing as how I used to do during my foundation year.

:: Going All the Way ::

Well, this week will be the last one before heading home for a three-week holiday! YAY! My head is into that mood already. Despite that excitement, I still need to focus, so yeah, FOCUS! Tomorrow will be Linguistics and next Weds [the last one *in holy-like voice] will be Literature. *laugh* Anyway, for this holiday, I was being thinking of writing reviews on ; Japanese animation, Japanese drama, and perhaps M.A.N.G.A.[s]~ All I ever watched this few weeks has been all ... Japanese-related ones! And so, I am going to study smart tonight and keep up with myself this week, so that I will be relaxed when I write the reviews. Do excuse in advance that my reviews are not that good to read though. I might get it overboard and I might over-write those by that time.  Okay, that's all for now! Till then!

:: The Heat Within ::

Do you realize something, guys? The world gets warmer each day. Even the night that we used to feel cold for, is no longer that cold. Well, that's what I have been experiencing ever since the nights before. To be honest, I feel warmer and I don't really like it. Because it made me sleepless for a night or so. And also made my throat feels rather stuffy. Then, when throat starts making me feel this way, it could only mean one; SICKNESS! No! I don't want this to happen, not at exam week! I still have to sit for two more next week!! Screw you, heat! Eh. Sorry. Not only the heat. Screw us, the people who made the world even warmer than usual!

:: Monday Treat ::

Image
Well, yesterday was the first paper - out of four papers. To be honest, I didn't feel much passive as I should have. But, I can't deny that I felt worried for my Philosophy paper. I think I did screwed somewhere around the paper somehow. BUMMER. After having so-called disappointment over Philosophy subject, I tagged along with my friend to Karamunsing. And frankly, another came there. So, three of us decided to get ourselves indulged with ...

:: Mother's Special Days ::

Image
Today is Mother's Day. [HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!] And then, by next Sunday will be my mum's birthday. Yeah, this month can be declared as the special month, at least to me. Mum told me earlier before I got off from the car, saying that we will be going for trip at Ranau this upcoming weekends. I'm so confused, whether to go home or covering myself in dormitory. Okay, better get myself into study mode! Yes! Fighting!

:: Study Smart ::

I'm so applying this so-called study smart method. Now going to focus on the first two exams for now, so no burden... Not just yet - not until after the second day of exam, I'll be nuts. Yep, I'm going to study hard on Linguistics and Literature, which are the last two papers we'll be facing by next week. Thank God, the papers are not at the same time. I begin to wonder what would happen to me if all in one week. Oh, if you don't know what I'm babbling now, here's the list of my papers for this semester's examination. Philosophy and Education in Malaysia [TOMORROW! *panicked ] Child Development Introduction of Linguistics Literature In English I'm hoping, in God's will, I will pass my exam papers so that I can advance into the other half of my FIRST DEGREE YEAR! Again, to all Gaya-ians ... GOOD LUCK IN YOUR EXAMINATION, GUYS!

:: Special Friday ::

Image
Salam and greetings to you peeps! [mode:heartbeat] Today was really special because ... firstly, my two classmates; Zana and Jeff celebrated their 21st birthday. HAPPY BIRTHDAY! So, some of us ate Bakso and ice cream [again] after ate cake in the afternoon. *laugh* Kudos to Saiful for the photo :3 After eating bakso! And then...

:: Into the Mess ::

For this few weeks [or so it was], things got a bit twisted here and there. Something has triggered the start button in the beginning. The situation has been worsened, from what I can see. Somehow, I didn't want to know anything about it. Because I'm afraid if I'm going to make the hole even bigger. So, I ended up in covers so that I'll able to know even I'm not there. ps. I was recalling incidents about something and it made me think; "Did I confuse the rest because of what happened the other day?" [something like that]

:: Dramatization [UPDATED] ::

Salam, good day peeps! [mode:extremely happy] [UPDATED] HERE!  This is the trailer for upcoming trailer for the junior's dramatization! Oh yeah, this semester, the juniors will be having their dramatization of Shakespearean's drama; Tragedy of King Lear. I have been anticipating this one since last dramatization of Macbeth [more like adaptation] by our batch. Well, to be honest, from what I have heard from some of them, the genre is tragedy. So, I kind of knew that this drama and last one was the same in term of genre. It will be on this Friday and I really cannot wait for the result from the one-month preparation. [Updated]And now, judging by the trailer [ given link ] I saw this early morning from a junior's profile, I thank you for making me more excited to watch the drama. Even my roommates think that the trailer is cool. *smile widely* ps. I do feel worried for them, with their schedule which was WAY busier than us in our foundation year aside from the recent ...

:: Not into It pt.2 ::

Something that girls would be more fascinating into; besides shoes and clothes [and perhaps novels], MAKEUP!  I am so not into MAKEUP. I find it rather heavy for me. That's why I came for lecture hours naturally. Yeah, I can't deny that I've put some compact powder and lip balm just to ensure that I don't look miserable with my panda eyes. I tried to be attentive towards makeup, but NO~ I ended up looking for things that made me feel more childish, like ANIME DVDs and COMIC BOOKS! The fact is that I never get interested with one and SELDOM in doing makeup. But, I do like to learn. So yeah. That's all, till then.

:: Sukaneka ::

Salam, good evening peeps! Just a very short update from me! Well ... Few hours back, our college had sukaneka and supposedly I was about to participate in the first game. But I ended up NOT playing since only 6 players were needed and yeah, I ended up snapped photos for the evening. It was enjoyable to see and worth a voice to cheer for my Paras 2 Meranti Gaya. So, no bad mood tonight. *smile* That's all, till then!

:: In my Dream ::

It's been a while since I had that kind of dream in mind. I have high hope that it will come true; that I'll find the person whom I love the most and that man in my mind is the ONE for me. It was a very sweet moment in my dream. I want to embrace more moments of it. But, I know that moment can never be mine. I know it can never be. People said this; "When you dream someone, it means he or she miss you." I wish that to come true, because I miss him a lot. More than the words can express the longings I had for a long time. So, I want to keep on believing in it. I want to believe that the right moment will come and by then, I will tell him that ... "I Love You!"

:: Not a Counselor ::

No matter how difficult things can be for you to handle, do not be worried. It is going to be alright. Somehow I tell this kind of things to the people around me. But I ended up being mixed in emotions when I get myself trapped in dilemma. So much for being a counselor, right?

:: Bakso and Ice Cream ::

Image
Salam, good day peeps! [mode:hungry again, unfortunately] Yesterday, I tagged along with my friends to this bakso place. Well, from what you can see at the photo, it was open-aired one, and judging by the looks of it, it must be limited only. To be honest, that was the first time I ate bakso, in my life! And it was nice and I enjoyed eating despite eating it as there were rain drops. Can't even imagine how it tasted like since it was slightly raining. After eating bakso in public *laugh*, then we headed to Aladdin and ordered up ice creams. One of us chose to drink Teh Tarik though. Never mind that. Oh yeah, before heading back to dormitory, we passed by at 7Eleven and some bought foods and Slurpee~ So tempted to buy, but I ended up not buying it. *laugh* That's all for now. Till then!

:: Not into It ::

I'm no English songs fan. Yeah, I blurted that one. I know, in order to improvise the vocab and all,  listening to songs is one way to do so. The problem is, I don't, since all I listened to are J-pop and K-pop. I do like watching television shows and movies  [of course in English] though. The truth is that, I didn't really hate English songs. I just dislike it, that's all. There's time when it didn't fit me well especially the lyrics. Well, I love the beats though. I just feel that nowadays songs are way too ...  impossible for me to understand, somehow. ps. This is just how I feel when I heard any English songs, except from Aziatix, my current fave. No hard feelings. *laugh* pss. Currently listening to Alright by Aziatix. *laugh*

:: No Prodigy ::

What can you define 'prodigy' as? From what I can understand is that; prodigy somehow related to the word 'exceptional', 'extraordinary', and perhaps 'highly-talented'. Well, it just crossed my mind as I tried on writing music notes for a song few minutes back. I began to wonder, whether there is anyone who have that kind of talent. Surely am no prodigy. All those talents and abilities I had so far, that's no extraordinary gain. To be honest, I gained the talents by practice and ... practice. And I do envy those people who have great talents, yep. ps. I am just babbling around while waiting the time to go back to the dormitory. So clueless about the evening class after this.

:: What are Friends for? ::

What are friends for, when you keep your sorrow inside and waiting the wrong time to explode? Friends are there for you, regardless of the problems. Whether to complain something or long for a listener, you can always count on your friends. Who knows, when you comforted a friend in despair, they regain back their self-esteem?

:: Boy + Girl = Lovers? ::

"One simply assume that a pair of a girl and a boy as lovers." Other than having close female friends, I also have close friends from the other side. Dan is one of them. Well, he is a very close friend indeed.  And so, we have our breakfast together every day. [Well, almost every day.] Guess what? One fine day, people give a very strange stare towards both of us. Therefore, the statement above was said by him when that happened. Then, I recalled something when I was chatting via email with a girl friend. People tend to think as how stated above. But, you see, a boy and a girl can be close friends. Well, yeah, we do have small things to be argued and people took it in another way, as if both of us were couples. I don't feel anything more than being just close friends. Besides, his personality somehow resembles my younger brother. So, he is a very close friend, to me. Nothing more than that.

:: She Who Teach Me to be BETTER ::

Image
Lovely pairing, right? *lovelove* To be honest, I was really overwhelmed with those kids back then, especially for this particular little girl. Oh yes, she's Brenda Amelia and as you can see, she's physically disabled. She has this cute and sweet and sincere smile on her face and I love seeing that despite of her physical state. And yes, she has touched the deepest part of my heart and my friends' too and I feel sad [ps. Some boys in my group cried when they saw her eating using her feet]. Only then I realized that people always complained even the smallest thing about themselves without thinking of the others who are unlike them. Therefore, she's the reason why I take a different perspective when I viewed my life so far. She's the reason why I admired people who are determined to change their life even though they are disabled.  And the most important - I learn a lesson as to be happy with my life as well as to be stronger and having the confidence with...

:: Special Visit to Integrasi Class ::

Image
Salam, good day peeps! Guess what? Today we have our special school visit at SK Luyang where we visited the Integrasi Class. FYI, the Integrasi Class consists of the pupils who are having learning disabilities, so you can imagine how much effort the teachers are putting into in order to keep on track with them. Though we have traffic jam on our way to SK Luyang, We managed to arrive at the school and yeah, the Integrasi class.

:: Night of Culture ::

Image
Salam, good day peeps! [mode:*crikkk~*] Hey there! Remember me telling something about a gathering? Guess what, our night is TONIGHT! It already ended though. Still I really enjoyed my time there with my fellow friends, seniors and juniors. Yeah! It's a satisfaction to know that people are enjoying their time without much to think about besides of anticipating  performances and of course, the FOOD! Yes, that's what I have been waiting for a long time since coming for tonight's special event. That's me, in makeup. LOL!

:: 2 days of AWESOMENESS ::

Image
Oh yes, this week, apart from the upcoming gathering [YES!], I also have the chances to go visit the exhibitions held at the hall. Now, now, the exhibitions are both conducted by our TESL juniors and seniors. So what kind of exhibition they have held?

:: Love and Money ::

Money is a necessity. We usually heard this anonymous quote saying; "No money no talk". Well, though it is not important when it comes to one's heart content, money has becoming a necessary item as to buy needs such as foods and shelter [home]. When we go to the public toilet, we need to pay to enter. I'm not saying love is not important. In fact, love is vital. You need love for your family. You need love for nature. You need love for other people existed around you. I do prefer love than money because of its destructive effect in relationships. Mum said, money can be achieved but it takes more effort in building ties with others. So, what say you?

:: Dramatic turn in life ::

There are times when I feel that life can be dramatic. When difficult decisions have the power to turn your life for good or bad cause. Where it will be happening. Who are those people who will be affected from that decision. Rather being pessimistic about the future, let's think optimistic about how - how we can cope the chosen path.

:: That particular song ::

There are few of that particular song that made you remember bits people exists in your life. One reminds me of my best friend. One reminds me of my ex - yes, EX. One reminds me of my close friends in campus. But, for sure, most of the songs just made me recall of the adoration, which are; ANIME, also know as, JAPANESE ANIMATIONS. *laugh* If I started to list it out, I bet most of you don't even know the plots and characters. So, how about you all, have that particular song that reminds you of people around you?

:: Love Rain ::

Early in the morning, I opened my eyes and saw it poured heavily smooth on the ground. I found it relaxing and recalling a drama that I watched last night. It was lovely and sweet. It's also about rain and love. One said, rain looks alike love. Quoted, "love has two different faces; HAPPINESS AND SADNESS." I think it's true. Some people are happy to see the rain. Some are not. So, maybe it's for real.

:: Deviant Art Craze pt. 2 ::

Image
Salam~ Hey there! Okay, another entry of artwork. Not mine though, it's Uta-chan's creation. Really thankful for her doing requests again. Guess what? This is just a preview. Want to see the real one?

:: Sketch requests! ::

Image
Salam, good morning guys! [in my happy tone] Today, officially I have sent all the short course-works for this semester! [Oh yeah~] And so, I was thinking about something nice to do during my weekends; sketching! Yes, sketching is what I did for most of my times. Here, I want to show you a few examples of sketches. Kudos from a Deviant friend. Kudos to chocobikies, also deviant friend. Also from deviant friend. So, if you want, sketch requests are open for 10 spots. Do insert the link for requested sketches so I can have better references, okay? *wink* Have a great day!

:: Getting better ::

I realized a thing about life. When people had hardships that they thought impossible BUT managed to overcome, the day will get better. Yeah, surely, it gets tougher. But no worries because it will be getting better. I am okay. I am feeling better. Only from all of you, I know that I stand straight again. That is why it will be getting better each time.
