Beat to the music, eardrums.

And when I see you,
I really see you upside down.
But my brain knows better,
It picks you up and turns you around.

If you feel discouraged,
When there's a lack of colour here,
Please don't worry lover,
It's really bursting at the seems,
From absorbing everything,
The spectrums A to Z.

from Lack of Colour - Death Cab for Cutie

We're not the same dear, as we used to be.
The seasons have changed, and so have we.
There was little we could say, and even less that we could do.
To stop the ice from getting thinner, under me and you.

We buried our love in the wintery grave,
A lump in the snow was all that remained.
Though we stayed by its side, as the days turned to weeks.
And the ice kept getting thinner with every word that we'd speak.

And when spring arrived, we were taken by surprise,
When the floes under our feet, bled into the sea,
And nothing was left for you and me.

We're not the same dear, and it seems to me.
There's nowhere we can go with nothing underneath.
Then it saddens me to say what we both knew was true,
That the ice was getting thinner, under me and you.

The ice was getting thinner, under me and you.

The Ice is Getting Thinner - Death Cab for Cutie

If you guys get the chance, please give the songs of Citizen Cope a listen. All of his songs are pure greatness.
My favourites are Sideways, Awe, Bullet and a Target, Penitentiary, Holding On, If There's Love, Lifeline and Let the Drummer Kick. Then again, all his songs are awesome, so you should listen to all of them. Have fun :)

Deception Point by Dan Brown

deception-point.jpg


This book is one of the only books that I can honestly say made me laugh and scream out loud. A book has never ever ever made me do that.

It's just clever. And gripping, thrilling and suspenseful. Dan Brown has this way of writing, that glued my hands to his book. I just couldn't put it down. His writing allowed me to create this amazing motion picture in my imagination that I didn't want to stop watching, despite my better intentions to put the book down and sleep!

President Zachary Herney is facing reelection and losing supporters to Senator Sedgewick Sexton because of the Senator's revelation of the harsh truths and his scrutiny over NASA's broken promises, over-budget and failed missions. The President gets Rachel Sexton (the senator's daughter), who is a gister for the NRO, involved in this amazing predicament (a serious "this will change the world" predicament) with some of the smartest people she'll ever meet, to make things right and prove that NASA is important to the country. Gisters reduce complex reports into single-page briefs, and in this case the president needs that confirmation before he broadcasts to the nation, probably ensuring his reelection. It's tricky because Rachel is the daughter of his opponent. Rachel has no choice, and joins the team, amazed to be told that a strange object had been found buried deep in the arctic ice; a meteor. And after countless tests and samples, it was proven that they had discovered fossils of organisms in that meteor; evidential of extraterrestrial life. However, Rachel Sexton and Michael Tolland (from the team), suspect something is amiss when the meteor is pulled out of its icy grave.

This book is really good. You should pick it up and read ittt! :D I will not tell you more for it will ruin everything! GOOOOO DAN BROWNNNNN! JYEAH!

Kuku kachew!

Hello and welcome 2011 :)

Bit late, I know, but hey, better late than never.

I AM ON MID SEMESTER BREAK! JYEAHHHH! A week off, and lets hope I don't waste it.

I got off last Thursday, and shot off straight to LANGKAWI with the family baybay!!!

It was so so so so wonderful. About 13 of us went, and it was amazing, nothing else to say about it.

Went swimming everyday, dug our feet in the beautiful fine sand and let the waves crash on us and drag us around like helpless little rag-dolls, haha. The waves were the biggest I've seen in a while. Though the water wasn't blue where we were staying, it was still great. The blue water was near the airport and where the cable cars place was, that, was some nicely coloured sea water man :)

And my gosh the cable car. FRIGGEN COOL. There were about 2 stations before we got to the top, then we went almost vertical to another station which brought us to the suspension bridge. The view was absolutely breathtaking the whole way. The ride itself was breath taking, like literally. I've never experienced such a quiet atmosphere. All you can hear is the wind. Have you ever heard nothing but the wind? It was like my ears were slathered in gorgeousness. Beautiful, really it was. Going up there, you're surrounded by the pure elegance of nature, lush greens, the earthy tones and silky white threads of water from the waterfall hidden behind the trees, and cool fresh air. Really, really serene :) The suspension bridge was awesome! If you stand still, you'll feel it moving with the wind and the stomping of everyone's feet. But my goodness the stairs that you have to go down from the cable car station to the suspension bridge, woooweeeh! SOOOO MANYY STEPSSSSSSS. Seriously, it was a whole lot of weathered and uneven steps to go down and climb back up. Hahaa. All was worth it though :)

Went to visit Mahsuri's tomb, and that was an interesting history lesson! Her story's so intriguing, and to me, no painted or poetic interpretation of her beauty can ever explain how beautiful she was. I just, I can't imagine. It's almost like the Mona Lisa, there's just something about that painting. You just don't know what. Like, you want to know why she's got that face on and why she was painted. But you can't know. You won't ever really know. Well it's sort of that same feeling for Mahsuri and her story. I don't know, something eerily beautiful.

Here are some pictures, I loved this trip! :)

Waves! Not the biggest I saw though, didn't catch that one on camera! Was too busy being drenched by it :P

These are my footprints; yes I have flat feet :D Doesn't this look like a book cover to you? :P

Had breakfast at Breakfast Bar on Jalan Pantai Cenang (which was where we were staying) and it had this cool thing outside its doors. Good Morning in different languages. Neat huh? :)

Cue music : DUN DUN DUNNN!!!!!
Haha, The cable car line.. alllll the way up there. Woooweeeh!

On the cable car! EEEEK!

This is the highest point I took a picture at, after that, my hands were too shaky, lol :P


The suspension bridge. Beautiful architecture right? Woooh!


Views from the bridge; what did I tell you? :D AWE-wait for it- SOME!

DoodooKakaPooPoo

Hokay.

Ready to write. Haha.

Semester 2, KMS, Banting.

JEEEEEEEEEE VILLIKERS.

Hell. Hell. Hell.

Okay I am exaggerating, yes, but if you do read my blog, you'll notice I do that alot :)

I swear, if university life is like this, I might lose my mind.

Lemme break it down for you.

Monday:
Chemistry tutorial.

Tuesday:
Taklimat UPU.

Wednesday:
Chemistry Presentation and lab report submission, and English Research Chapter 1 submission and Math Tutorial

Thursday:
Biology presentation, Agama presentation,Chemistry quiz, Taklimat Markah Koko, Taklimat UPU.

Friday:
English research chapter 3 and research material work, Math quiz.

Now you see, the freest day was Tuesday, mainly because all I had to do was attend lectures and listen to a talk about UPU. But the rest of the week, My goooodddnessssss. Crazy man, crazy.
I easily used about eight mahjong papers for presentations this week. This was probably the first time the Macster has been up and working so long as well.

Poor little Macster, having to withstand heat outside, then the extreme coldness of lectures, then back to lukewarm-ity. But he's aite, he's holding up just fine aren't you Macster? HE'S AWESOMEEEEEE because he won't get any viruses. There's this virus going around in KMS which turns all of your files in your thumb drive to shortcuts. This virus is a particular favourite when you're in desperate need to print your product promotion brochure that you're supposed to hand out tomorrow and all the thousands of files on your 320GB external hard drive are turned into shortcuts and cannot be accessed. Beautiful moment that was for me. NOT. Crazy virus. At that point, I was running back and forth from the computer room in one of the girls' blocks to the bookstore trying to figure it out. Finally did, though we had to settle for photostatted brochures that had crease lines from the original copy, copied along with it. Beggars can't be choosers. But Mr Mac. He's great. All my files work good, no virus. Non-living saviour of mine. I don't mean to brag or gloat about him, absolutely not. I am just telling you how it's been something that is functioning smoothly without any problems when everything around it is chaotic. I know I'm talking about a laptop here, haha but wahtever, it's cool :)

I have mid semester exams coming up in less than a month. Time is flying all over the place, and it's so difficult to catch up to it.
Its Monday. Click. Tuesday. Click. Friday. And I don't know how Im supposed to set time aside to study. But, I must say, I still am setting time aside, and Im doing the best I can, and InshaAllah, I will succeed :)

I don't know why, but the highlight of my week was this:
I followed my friend to the lecturer's cubicles and passed a Biology lecturer's cubicle (not my lecturer, but one that everyone says is good). He has an orang utan soft toy (its huge) sitting majestically on other soft toys in the back left corner of his cubicle and two terrariums and many quotes stuck on the right side of his cubicle wall. There's this one piece of paper, it's just so adorable and awesome, I thought. And I have no idea why I enjoyed it so much but I felt, "this is what a teacher should be like; fun and knowledgeable."
Wanna know what it said?

Biology Teacher by day.
Deadly Ninja by night.

It was awesome.

Okay. That was my life this past week. How are you ? :D

I shall now proceed with the soppy mushy part of my post this fine evening.

I miss my girls.
Really I do.

Guess who ? :)

I miss Sarah's infectious laugh. Her huge smiles. Her great hugs. Her BR obsession. I miss my tuition partner. I miss my walking home partner. I miss my workout partner. I miss YOUU :( I really wish I could fly you back here or fly out there or something. I know I haven't been talking to you as much as I'd like to admit, but just know I alwayssss think of you and alwaysss miss you cuppy. :) I love Sarah.

I miss Aisyah's smell (she always smells nice). Ironic thing is, her house is only 2 minutes away from me right now, and I don't know where she is or what she's doing. I miss having photo shoots with her, laughing about dumb stuff. Talking about anything that comes to mind. Eating chocolate with her. I miss her weird handwriting. I miss her laughing at my BM. I miss her calling me the Grammar Granny. I so miss her shit face (right Sarah?haha), :D I love Aisyah.

I miss Dahiyah's warmth. Her hugs and her smiles. Our oh so long and wonderful conversations about nothing and everything. I miss her old laugh (she's got a new one now, which is equally as great, haha.) I miss our sleepovers and our hangouts. I miss her car :) I miss laughing with her until my brain feels like exploding and my stomach cramps up. I miss the fact that she laughs at all my jokes even when they're not that funny. I love Dahiyah.

I miss Nadia's energy. I miss her liveliness and vitality. I miss her bouncy attitude. I miss her business sense. I miss us fighting but never losing the friendship factor because we love each other too much. I miss finishing her sentences but how the words I say never match up to what she wants to say. I know we don't talk much anymore Nadia, and how I miss my B1 you'll never know. I so want to talk to you like we used to, because I hope you don't forget, we're twins on the inside. :D I love Nadia.

I miss Khairani. Full stop. I hope you're doing fine. I miss you, lots. Can't wait to see that huge smile and beautiful face of yours. My kazzers!!!! I love Khairani.

One of the rare photos with all six of us in it.

I miss Shida, and her warm smile. I miss her laugh and her ambition. I miss her words. I miss her murderously annoying me with the Gardeynia song.

I miss Nicholas, who was a friendly and much needed friend during the horrible first week at KMS. Thanks Nicholas, for being awesome. HANYA 4 BULAN LAGI!

I miss Adnin and Aiman who have without a doubt been two of the coolest dudes I've befreinded :) Hope you guys are good.

I miss Azeem my "protege" cewahh, and Reuel, my Romeo! :D

And to all my other beautiful friends, I miss you all.
Alllll of you.
If I haven't mentioned your name, do not fret oh awesome friend of mine, believe me you are remembered and missed dearly too.

Love you guys, don't forget thattt!

Jyeahh boiiii.

Oh boy oh boy oh boyy.

Blowing dust of the archives. Turning to a clean page.

Man has it been eons since I've written anything in here.
Hellooo? Anyone there?

Sorry :)

Haven't been able to come online and post stuff. Busy :)

Anywhoo,
I think I just came on here to tell you people that I miss you :)

Aisyah, Daia, Sarah, Nadia, Kaz, Shida, Nicholas, EVERYBODYYYYYY!

Hope you're all doing well.

;)

TTFN, just FN, promise.

Oh Fiddlesticks.

I didn't post in October :(

Darnit.

Im on holidays now! :D
I swear, I came back on Tuesday, and now its friggen Monday the next week.
WHERE DID MY SIX DAYS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO?

I don't know how they went so fast.
Its mind boggling. I seriously remember it only being Wednesday and I was all
"YEAH, I'm home, and I'm going to relax and take each day nice and slow"

BAM!

Its Monday.
I've been home for almost a week.

I
DIDN'T
FEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL
IT
PASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS.

I'm so frustrated. I feel like I've done nothing. I feel like I haven't really spent time with my family, everyone's working. So here I sit, at home, alone, keeping myself busy. Haha.

So this week, I'm gonna do what I can to make me feel satisfied with the holidays :D

A little part of me can't wait to dive right back into college work and life, but it's not dominant...
I don't want it to come too soon, though its less than a week away.

I go back to college on 7/11. Bummer huh? But what to do :)
