I'm off to Singapore!

Ok well, seriously, I do not feel that excited upon thinking that I'll be spending the Hari Raya there just like the previous years.

As you grow up, the excitement that was once seen on your face when you were 6 or 7 or maybe 12 is slowly diminishing.
Hari Raya is not that great anymore. I bet the adults are thinking the same way. It is great, it is undeniably great but as I've said just now, the anticipation isn't there anymore.
I do not feel a thing whenever I heard the Hari Raya songs being played on the radio. Unlike those days, where my siblings and I, even with our parents, would sing the songs in the car to kill the time spent along those long hours of journey from north to south.
Maybe it's because I have to spend my Hari Raya holidays by burying myself in books (as if!). But then, maybe there are other factors that contribute to this feeling-less feeling I'm experiencing right now.

ANYWAAYYY....I'll be leaving my dearest boyfriend a.k.a my laptop at home. And I'll come back again after one week of so-called striving and struggling for the final exams. Okay, let's not talk about THAT 'E' word here. I just can't bring him to Singapore and to UIA(Oh, no way!). He's too irresistible, and hence distracting. He will always trying to seduce me, tempting me, enticing me to leave my studies behind and explore the wonderful world beneath him (I sounded like a pervert here,LOL).

Till then, Selamat Hari Raya to all Muslims in the whole wide world. Okay, my dad's calling. BYE!!! :D
TO UIA PEOPLE. JANGAN LUPA BALIK UIA!!! :P

Sarah Kushairi's 'Jo oh Jo!'

Here it is, my first debut film. The one that won second place in the Ramadhan Short Movie Competition organized by the Creative and Multimedia Club CFS IIUM. The only girl who won a placing out of 6 people. I'm not being vain. It's unexpected really, getting a second place. To actually secure the Top 3 placings.Unbelievable! Arienatsuno! You name it. The movie's not that good anyway. I mean, it is OK. But I couldn't compare it with the other movies made by the other groups (of which I haven't watched those movies made by them)

The script is written by me. My friend and assistant director-Syau wrote the dialogues between her and Fizah and she wrote all the Korean terms and dialogues in the movie. I dunno Korean. Japanese tahula sikit-sikit. LOL.
I'm the director, the cameraman camera lady LOL, the editor, the producer.

Things to look for
1) Sarah Kushairi's obsessions and infatuations towards Matsumoto Jun and Arashi is seen throughout the movie.
a. The laptop( wallpaper of Arashi)
b. Arashi insert songs( 'Hero' and 'Truth')
c. My handphone with Matsumoto Jun's phone chain dangling from it. Of course, you couldn't see it. :P

2) The moments where Solehah and Syidah had forgotten some of their lines but managed to cover them up.
a. The ifthar scene
b. The sahur scene

3) You would notice that the camera's shaking sometimes. Wanna know the reason why? The cameraman/director/yours truly was trying to suppress her laughters. LOL. Very unprofessional of her.

4) The first scene of the movie is actually the final scene that we shot (The one where Jo asked what is fasting)
5) We shot the sahur scene during the time when maghrib's approaching and thus you can hear the sound of a man reciting al-Quran from the mosque nearby.
6) And lots of things that happened during the filming.
7) In conclusion, filming the movie required lots of works and times and at the same time, it was FUN!




P/S. Sorry coz I can't make it any bigger. It took a really long time to upload this video. The same goes when I tried uploading it to youtube.

And sorry if this video doesn't meet your expectations. It's my first movie, I used an ordinary Olympus Digital Camera and I edited this movie by just using Windows Movie Maker Windows XP Edition, LOL.
And please excuse the sound of the camera clicks that can be heard occasionally.
Oh yeah, that I'm just an amateur so-called filmmaker XD

The Tales of Sarah Sarcastic and the Male Technician

On Wednesday, we had class straight from 8 am till 1 pm. It was a bit exhausting. One, coz it's in the fasting month. Two, I had to climb all the way up to Level 4. I was feeling extremely thirsty. Seriously, NOW I KNOW what Jo felt at that time.(if you watched my movie, you'll understand)I felt like I could gulp the whole 1.5 litres of Mineral water here and then.

Anywaayyyyy...I decided to take a little afternoon nap because I was so tired. And so, both of us, Syidah and I, collapsed on our own beds. I couldn't really sleep anyway. Coz there were so many people kept on texting me, thus disturbing my sleep as I'd have to replied those messages back.

Syau texted me, saying that she's gonna come to my room. OK. I was feeling a bit annoyed at that time, LOL. I was trying to get a good sleep here, hahaha. Sorry Syau...XD.

And so, about 5 minutes later, I could barely doze off. And suddenly, there was this knocking on the door. I figured out it must have been Syau, and so, I woke up, walking lazily towards the door, trying my best to make a very sleepy expressions. I opened the door, my eyes half closed and....

TADA!
A MALE, WITH BLUE UNIFORM, SHORT HAIR, WAS GRINNING AS HE SAW ME IN A T-SHIRT, THREE QUARTER PANTS, MY JUST-GOT-UP-FROM-SLEEP HAIR and MY HALF-CLOSED EYES.

My half-closed eyes immediately popped open, widely as I was clearly shocked and embarrassed at the same time, HIM seeing me! ARGHHH!!!!
I was gaping out of shock, again, my eyes were wide open, I could recognize the familiar face( He always came to our Level 4 area and he once came to my room to check the electrical appliances, bloody la weiii!!!) and that I can SEE that he was GRINNING though I wasn't wearing my glasses at that time. I immediately shut the door, shrieking ' JUST A MOMENT!'

Syidah was sleeping and I immediately shook her, pestering her to wake up. Then, we immediately dressed up and seriously, I could feel that my face was burning red! It was bloody embarrassing! Then, Syidah opened the door. We were..urmm...standing behind the door. The technician came in, still grinning and looked at us saying ' Why are you hiding?' ARGHH. WHAT THE HECK?
I couldn't bear to look at him on the face and my back was facing him at that time. I acted as if there was nothing going on, nonchalantly looking at ermm..Biology 2 book, and..err..the fork, spoon.

Immediately when he stepped in, I stepped out from the room. And he did ask something about what should be repaired, I said ' the study lamp, the study lamp' and quickly ran away to Solehah's room next door.

EMBARRASSING MUCH, HUH??? I DIDN'T HEAR ANY ANNOUNCEMENTS AT THAT TIME! Maybe because I was half conscious the time the announcement was made..BUTTTTT..even Solehah, who was fully awake at that time didn't hear any announcements either! But Kinah heard it! BLOODY SPEAKER! TECHINICIAN, I COMMAND

YOU TO REPAIR THAT BLOODY SPEAKER!!!
And yeah, always asked who that person is whenever someone knocked on my door. I made a bloody mistake and I'll try my best not to let that happen again.

Full updates!

Salam and greetings to anyone who's reading this. It's 5. 40 something a.m Just finished the meal for sahur.

First of all, sorry, no pictures. I did capture some pictures there. Urmm...except the prize giving one which is a bummer coz I was too excited that I forgot to ask Syau to take my picture receiving the prize. >_< Arashi Mawi be there? Heck Sarah, what's with Mawi? Most of UIA students LOOOVVEEE Mawi, am I right? Is that one of the many plausible reasons that made me said that?

Or was it about the foods for iftar? I gotta admit, those foods are simple but they are simply delicious. I was eating it non-stop. Syidah and I finished the rice in a jiffy while Syau and other people were still eating it. Hehe. don't underestimate the power of hungry stomachs. :P

I was planning to go to the Medcy Yearbook Editorial Board meeting at 10 p.m, straight away after the ceremony, which was supposed to start at 9.30 p.m. Unfortunately for me, they finished the Tarawih prayer at 9.30 something p.m and that they had to arrange the board, the partitions, to separate the brothers from the sisters. It was funny, yet I feel secure at the same time, LMAO. So, Raja Syahmi, if you're reading this, sorry coz I can't make it. The whole event ended at almost 11 p.m.

Throughout the event, I kept on saying that I wanted to go back. I don't want to attend it. One secret about me. I may looked like I'm a confident person. I AM CONFIDENT, LOL but I get nervous SOOO easily. My hands and feet were all cold. Then, the emcee announced the winners for the logo competition. Oh, they have 2 consolation prizes! Maybe they will give the consolations for the Short Movie Competition too! :P

Ok, the moment we've all been waiting for. He announced the winner of the consolation prize. SURPRISE SURPRISE. The brothers from my class, the ones that I claimed the awesome one, the reasons for my worries and agony, actually won the consolation prize! That was surprising. And then, it hits me, if they only managed to get the consolation prize, then what about me? The emcee straight away annouced the third prize winner. Ok, it wasn't me. And what? There's only ONE consolation prize?
Then, second prize went to..(Seriously, I actually felt something when he was about to announce it. Sixth sense? Probably) Sister(Ok, GOTCHA!) Siti Sarah Syahirah ( there's no need to write out my full name here, actually. LOL).

Seriously, I became all excited and immediately jumped to the front. I was looking for that person who's supposed to hand me the prize with my face brimming with happiness and surprise. In other way, I was grinning like a pompous idiot. Then, Miss Shafiyyah gave me the prize and there was this camera man who captured the so-called glorious moment. Syau and Syidah were grinning as well. We only get the hamper loaded with snacks and an envelope of ermm..money. I'm gonna keep the envelope, hehe coz it was written ' Second Prize winner for Short Movie Competition'. I was a bit frustrated coz I was hoping that they would give us certificates or something. Huhu. That certificate worth more than any of the snack hampers around the world. But just like my dad said, the main thing is that I've won.


They showed the first prize winner's movie. It was interesting and funny at the same time. But I seriously think that the brothers from my group's movie is better.I dunno. I only watched the snippets of it. Not the whole thing. Maybe the message that they're trying to show is not conveyed. Lots of laughter and yet there's no message. Well, maybe sometimes less is more.
And I'm glad that they didn't show the movies for the 2nd and 3rd prize winner. Hehe.

So, that was it. Syidah had to go to KC and so, I had to carry the hamper all the way up to 4th level of ZC. And I was smiling ear to ear along the way. LOL. Farizah won 2nd place too, for the logo competition. Congrats Fareez! :)

Now, I'd have to concentrate on my studies. ORGANIC CHEMISTRY ESPECIALLY! Sheessshhh..Okla, not gonna sleep after sahur. Setadii....
Oh yeah, I watched the snippets of the new episode of 'Himitsu no Arashi Chan' and JUN MATSUMOTO, YOU ARE SO DAMN HAWTT!!!! I'm totally IN LOVE with him. An infatuation, to be exact? LOL. I want all the new episodes! Sheesh, Sarah! Bulan puasa ni! What happened to your resolutions?

Jubilant! :D

OOOKKKAAAYYYYYYYY......................
