hullo (:

while my circulatory system is still runnin high on caffeine, i shall blog about what a great day i had today! (:

today marked the completion of Activ8/07 and i must admit that i'm feelin slight withdrawals already. i'll miss the kids who were so loud and annoying yet undeniably adorable. "alamak si deni step nak mintak kena siku seven dgn aku ah" i'll miss sexy voice fatin, tembam bulat adlylah, suara hi-pitch giler azrema, smiley and mysterious mazliana and lastly abang ronny! aisehh.

i wanna thank Na'im so much for calling me to join the team. its an experience so prized and priceless, definitely unforgettable. learning new things, gaining new experience and ultimately, finding new cherished camaraderie. (: hafihz, fana, yana, izzy, nani, khairi, zaki, nur, fazli and aini. Alhamdulillah (: fantastic!

the chillout session at starbucks was good too. had a good opportunity to get closer to the other com members.

ready for the pictures? (: enjoy.




the facis and everyone else listening to aini.






their supposedly charlie's angels pose. tak tau malu!



the blind mascot, our pm and sec (:




is that a new way to say "cheese" fazli?



the medic and i! (: (:



nani jambu!



fana and yana.



zaki and his nonsense. again.



naim, nur and i. i think i look so kental with my hand on my hip.



aisehhh cool la tuu.



fatin and i. show me some love yawww!



ronny, his fake smile, his forced-to-take-pic face and i.



ad and i! wooo. i love to pinch her tembam cheeks.



yawww!



the rest are pictures of the CHAMPS!
mushi-mushi.
mush it mellow lopez!






alrite thats all. nites (:

this part of the entry is SPECIALLY for my Avenged-fan friend.

when the going gets tough, the tough gets going.
when the going gets tough, the tough gets tougher.
when the going gets tough, the tough goes shopping.
but if the tough hasnt gaji yet or is broke cos of the too much EVERLAST shopping,
the tough and and the bestfriend *makes kero-tak-menjadi face*
can go get a can of coke each, drink it and see who burps the loudest.

i mean really, in times of crisis, we can get too caught in a whirl of dark clouds. its perfectly normal but we must learn to get out of it, be a stronger and wiser person
- not a refugee.

--------------------------------------------------letak partition sikit-----------------------

this second part is SPECIALLY for my all time-favourite singer friend.

listening to u sing before i go to sleep is like therapeutic.
*snaps finger and get into the mutton-go-yay mood*
hahahah!
private showerrrr...
haha. ok im like really laughin like lembu senget now.
u know, u alw say that u dunno what u;re good at, i think u're REALLY good at this ah.
hehe.

hullo!
gdmorningglory.

the past few days have been haphazardly hectic. nevertheless, theres one thing that set things straight. u know what?! u know?
its my new asics cumulus 9! (: (:
initially i felt it was an impulsive catch, but when the shoes felt so right the first time i jogged in it y'day, aiseehhhh..im one happy person.
in case u all do not know, i have high arch feet that call for proper arch support shoes.
prior to tt, i tried on a nike Equalon (or Air, i cant rmb), it felt really "empty" near the archs there. so i decided to put it back on the shelves, lookin all pretty and funky. besides, it cost $50 more than my asics, and therefore, $110 more than my planned budget :/
so my new splurge was/is (?) all worth it!

as for school, things have been great too! attending lectures diligently albeit the lack the of punctuality due to some distractions. Thus far, i'm feeling some kind of regret for taking the Modern SEA social History module. learning new things is one thing, learning new things which bore the toot out of you, is another thing. serious la, tak boleh angks. specifically the latter.
i totally despise lectures where a lecturer simply vocalizes what he wrote on his own notes.
oh maaan.

so anyway, i had an early dinner/late lunch with muni yesterday. it was nice and funny at some parts when she stared at the untouched 'kulit ayam' on my plate..HAHAHA. ingat aku tak nampak ke. its fun catchin up! so i found out that, teasing my "darling" and i is boring them alr. haha. good. i shall keep things at status quo. low profile. and dont worry, i'll plan the Ramadhan Timetable soon (:
oh, with that said, can all the girls please email me ur sch+tuition+watever commitments timetable to me? if i dont get it by end of this mth, u'll be happily left out from any events.
haha.

alright i think thats about all.

have a great day everyone! (:

hullo..

today was the second day of sch and life's been great! (: (:
going back to sch means seeing the friends u haven seen for 3 mths.
"ehhh ain!!! lama tak nampak? amacam?"
haha. that seems like the line i've been receiving for these 2 days.
attended NUSMS welcome tea just now. my initial plan was to menyebok-nyebok but somehow i was given a duty which i was more than happy to undertake.
made many new friends, both freshies and not-so fresh ones.
so this means i'll have more ppl to smile and say hello to in sch. haha.

anyway, i attended this social work module just nw. i was slightly let down as i was expecting the first lecture to be awe-inspiring. maybe new knowledge that will leave such a huge impact on us such that we ALL want to become social worker/helpers of some sort. i dont like the fact that the first few things we did was to discuss, "if u notice an increase in divorce rate, what would u do as a social worker?". we need more oooh and ahhh kinda thing. not the copy copy notes nonsense. (cehhhh!)

other than that, everything is good and im happy. (:
especially if i have an 8am lecture and nizar is kind enough to entertain me from hm to the LT (:

alrite i shall retire now.
no sch tmr! YAYY!

theres no sch today. luckily?
no mood for sch today anyway.
and tmr's the first day of sch for me.
im excited. don new shoes and carry new bag. hahha. sems.

what else to say uh?
ah. i realised that the way to get any good from truths, is to be honest abt it.
say out what u really feel and think.
dont assume and dont hold back.
although there might be complications initially, it'll release some load off the shoulder.

and im missing spending quality n.a.f time.
lynn, fizah! meet up! starbucks on friday? wooh. i want my hazelnut (: (:

tiger lily is stuck in my head.
if i had it my way, i'd turn the car around.. and runaway, just u aaaaaand aaaaaaiiiii..

activ8/07 workshop one was fantastic altho my brain was in hybernation mode most of the time.
my team members are really adorable. ronny cute ah. right lynn? by tha way its an entrepreneur workshop organised by/under/in collaboration with al-iman mosque. so basically im facilitating. (but my initial post was treasurer. hehhe. kesian na'im. but i'll help i promise!). and its extra fun cos our first aider has assumed a double duty. medic/faci. aisehh..
in life u haf to haf PHD. passion. hunger. desire.
show me some love yaawww.


anw i have something to share:
LOVE is just another reason to get HURT.
haha. its really nothing personal. its just wat one of my team members wrote that at the back of her namecard. hahha. cekik darah.

hulllo.

today i missed the picnic cos i was too busy running ard like a "chicken in the wild".
in times like these i wish i had a car so that i can go to places easily.
anyw tmr will be good. (:
HAEEE!

i was in the meetin just now when a friend mentioned something bout 'don be sad'.
then i suddenly rmb this particular book my dad bought me which i've nvr read.
"jangan bersedih, capailah kebahagiaan" dont be sad, reach for happiness/serenity.
i've nvr read it because.. most of the time my sadness doesnt last long enough for me to find the bk to read it. hehh
so just a moment ago i decided to flip the pages and chanced upon this surah, one that we were once made to memorise back in madrasah days.
rmb the surah " alam nasyrah la ka saddrak..."?
i always knew that when u are sick, u shd recite that surah. however i never really look up for the exact meanings. so let me share it now that i know:

bismillah
have we not opened your breast for you ( O Muhammad saw)?
and removed from you ur burden.
which weighed down ur back?
and have we not raised high ur fame?
verily along with hardship is relief
verily, along with every hardship is relief
so when u have finished (ur occupation), devote yoursel for Allah's worship
and to ur Lord (Alone) turn (all your) intentions and hopes.
amin. (surah Ash-Sharh.)


i think happiness is not that difficult to be achieved. if u want it, u'll get it. thats for sure.


oh a sad note... this thursday is a public holiday :(
meaning, there'll be no class :(
man.. i'm really looking fwd to my night classes.

anw, if u are free, try this experiment.
sit up right, close ur eyes and relax.
concentrate on ur breathing and if any random thought flies thru ur mind, acknowledge it and let it go. focus on ur breathing. dont let ur mind wonder. if it does, slowly bring it back.
do it for 10 mins perhaps?
this is a good way to relax ur body and at the same time gives u alertness.
cubalah sekarang! anda pasti puas hati.

and u know what? im like bijak bistari. i bought this nail polish that when applied, looks exactly like my real nails! bonus..

good morning glory. i just woke up so im so high. and its 1.55am currently.
thank god my sidekick is still up so we're trying out this msn online game, some jigsaw thing. we can get that desperate siah.

i've just noticed that i can rarely find the things to buy when i need/want them. that and the fact i lose the shopping mood very quickly. u know whats my conclusion? buy anything and everthing before i want or need them. hence, there'll be no time when i want/need them cos i alr have them.
get it?
and im VERY fussy, fastidious, leceh when i shop. i look out for tiny details no one bothers.

ok la. gtg focus on the game.
ciao!

hullo.

this will b quite a long entry.


ther are times when i envy myself for being ambitious. but i think im bloody ambitious that things get extremely idealistic. and the thing abt me is tt, no matter how much i know something seems so far away, i choose to berangan that its just an arm's length away. berangan berangan then stress sendiri..

as much as some kind of idealism gives some form of comfort, we cant get away from the rigid practicality of life. right? *soo annnoyin* like for example, u berangan wanna do double degree or double triple major or whatever that pretty, but u always have this bonus qn hovering above ur head "will i be able to cope or not? im scared i'd fail halfway cos the workload is TTTHHIIS much.. what if i dont achieve?"

we're unsure and we are too busy fearing whats gonna happen en route, if we embarked on the journey towards our sparkling goal. why cant we just tolerate ambiguity and just work with it? and at the same time assure ourselves to do what we wanna do now and not fear the detrimental possibilities.

why cant we just say "so what if in the future, i didnt succeed in what im doing right now? at least i've tried!" or "so what if i didnt make it halfway? at least i did it halfway", "so what if halfway i lose interest and drive to go further?" thats all in the future and why be wary of events that may not even happen?
i know the reason.
firstly, the financial price of failure to most of us is like: unthinkable.
secondly, we cant bear the thought of wasting our age.
thirdly, we just want the best for ourselves. thus certainty and concreteness definitely serve well while obscurity does just the opposite.

oh well what an issue to talk abt at 2 am in the morning.

ok. announcement here.
COUNSELEE WANTED.
im doing a project for my counseling module.
all i need is for that volunteer to spend an hr sharing his/her concern with me, verbally.
PLEASE HELP ME.
note: he/she doesnt have to be problematic. just someone with concerns to raise.


ok. its time to slp.
