Jonas Brothers fever


It's official. I'm (almost) having the Jonas Brothers' fever. I had their songs played in my head over and over again.

'Lovebug', particularly. *grins sheepishly*

Thanks to my 'darling' siblings, who are the fans of Jonas brothers, I am now, welcomed to join their group. I'm in already, I mean.

Syazawani especially. It seems like she memorized the facts on Jonas Brothers more than she memorized 'Sejarah Keruntuhan Kerajaan Kesultanan Melayu Melaka'.

For instance

' Joe Jonas wears glasses'

Me: Really? I don't know that! Guess we have something in common then, tee hee...

' They got one brother, who's chubby/fat'

Me: Oh, okay.


My siblings even asked me to buy a new keyboard as my organ has yet to be repaired *sigh*.

And we're gonna set up our own band. Hahaha.

'Camp Rock' punya pasal.

Danial even said that he wanted to set up a 'Camp Rock' in Malaysia. Double Haha!

I'm going to download all Jonas Brothers' song available to my phone. :)
Nope, I rarely listened to Nasyid songs. It doesn't mean that I'm a sinful person...:P And 'rarely listened' doesn't mean I dislike them, loathe them. I DO LIKE SOME OF THE SONGS, OKAY.
And the same goes with English/American songs.
So please, be meticulous when you're judging people. I said this to anyone in particular.
And one more thing. I love CFS song. Anything wrong with that? ;P

KC-ians in ZC and AC

As we all- the fellow students of CFS IIUM know, the Kingdom Hospital (Khadijah College) is undergoing renovation works. One of them includes painting the whole scary ex-hospital(such word??) building. Good. Consequences come after that.
The good news is, the 4th floor of ZC is going to be occupied by some fellow KC-ians. Haha, Kesian..Get it? LOL. In addition to the present ZC-ians of course. SO, the more the merrier! Some of my good friends from KC are going to stay at ZC! But it's a pity of course.
1. Most of them will be staying at Level 4.
2. No lifts-unlike their previous Mahallah.
3. The rooms are SMALL! I mean, the rooms in KC are 2 to 3 times bigger than ours! I know, I've been there..:)
4. Duh, they will complain with all their might. Huhu. No offence, fellow KC-ians.At least you're in ZC! Not AC! Be grateful! Grateful!

Apparently, I've heard some not so pleasing stories about Level 4 of ZC. Someone claimed that they saw a 'Hantu Pocong' hopping at the dark gloomy corridors of Level 4 ZC. I know, I've been there. Thank God I didn't meet any non-biological life forms. Huhu.
Here is how it goes.
In the early semester, I was going to Hazie's room, which is situated in Level 4. Staying in ZC for just a couple of weeks, I didn't really know my way there. And her room is in Block A. Guess what? I thought that if I straight away go upstairs to level 4 from my level (level 1), I could just go around the building and reach Block A straight away. Instead of going downstairs and climb all the way up to Block A again. (In ZC, Block A is separated from the three other blocks, I was clearly not aware of the facts. You know what? It's creepy up there. The rooms are unocccupied, and the toilets are DARK. No lightings. And so, I went round and round the block, failed to find any room number that ends with the letter A. As I went round and round, I saw the same girl at the TV area twice. Only then did I realise that I've gone around the building three times, I think! And seriously, the feeling is unbearable. Level 4 is filled with extreme quietness, and loneliness. The shoes' racks were not filled with shoes as it should be and the dustbins are spotless and being toppled down. Even the places where we hang our clothes are left unoccupied without clothes, which is a rare sight. It was so quiet. And the toilets are DARK and GLOOMY. There was not a single soul there except me. As I speed up, realising where I had gone wrong, TADA! A door mysteriously opened by itself! And it was DARK inside! You guys could have guessed what was my reaction after that? CABUTLAHHHH!!!!
And luckily I didn't hear anything about the 'Hantu Pocong' story at that time. If not, I wouldn't have dared to go up ever again. But Nabila told me that there IS a room in Level 4 of which the lock is damaged. SO, maybe that's the room! Maybe, maybe not. I don't care.

Ermm, yes.Back to KC-ians. The bad news for us ZC-ians are.
1. Our one and only cafe will be crowded with girls from all three colleges! And what's more, there are even THIRD INTAKE students!
2. More madness, I can tell you that.
3. The TV area will be fully occupied. There will be no seats left! Full house! (as if!)
4. Battle for the washing machines!!! Huhu.
5. Everyone have to wake up early in the morning because MORE people will be queuing to use the shower stalls and loos.

AC? Huhu. No comment. I heard that it has been abandoned for several months. And Kak Bahijah(my usrah sister) told us that the conditions there are not really good. With leaked roofs and all. Whatever it is, WELCOME KC-ians to the family of Mahallah Zainab Jahsy. Sooner we all will be ZC-ian. Haha.

Be strong

Okay fine...It's not like it's that bad. I mean, it's not actually the grade that you had predicted you would get (mind the grammar). I mean, come on, be STRONG, SARAH! And everyone of you, I strongly suggest you to watch MEET THE ROBINSONS! Trust me, it's worth it!
I kept on watching Meet the Robinsons one more time. And from there, I can conclude that FAILURE is NOT FATAL, nor that success can continue throughout our life. And so, I present you my result, of which I copied and paste dit directly from the site. Go on, LAUGH ALL YOU WANT! feel free to interpret it howsoever! It's not like I care..:(
Code Subject Credithour Grade
HMM1114 MATHEMATICS 1 4 B+
HMM1414 BIOLOGY 1 4 A-
LEM6012 ENGLISH LANGUAGE VI 2 A
LQM1061 ELEMENTARY QURANIC LANGUAGE ( PART 1) 0 B+
GPA : 3.6
CGPA : 3.6
Yes, it's unpredictable! It's 3.6!!!! ALHAMDULILLAH!!!!
I am forever eternally grateful to Allah SWT for giving me this second chance. Huhu. Seriously, my head keep forming the number 3.33 ever and ever! I thought I'm going to get that. And so, I prepared myself to predict for the worst. And hope for the best, of course.
Congrats to Hazie and Wani! They got 3.734! WOW! AWESOME!!!
At first, seriously. I can't believe I got a B+ for my final grade. Let me tell you something. I failed my Maths Mid Sem. And my carry marks is only 24.6 over 50, thanks to my maths mid sem. But I didn't give up. And SERIOUSLY! I had hoped that I will get at least a B for final grade and an A for Biology! I'VE MADE IT! To get at least B+ for my final maths grade, I will have to get at least 92 for my Maths Final paper. Not to brag of course but, it shows that in Maths Final, I achieved 90 something for FINAL! Alhamdulillah! Again, not to brag or anything. Sorry if I made any of you feel uncomfortable. But just like what I've said earlier, failure is not fatal. And success can't continue IF I'm complacent. Hopefully I will always berpijak di bumi yang nyata, huhu.
Ok,enough already. I got to study HARDER next semester and get 4 FLAT!!! OH YES!!!!
Though I'm a teensy weensy dissapointed coz I got an A- for BIo. Oh well, I don't care already!!! :D
Alhamdulillah. Syukur. Oh yeah, a B+ for Arabic final grade and exempted from English! Well, not exactly exempted, you see. But I'm not going to repeat Arabic and EPT next semester!

Okay, continue later. I want to watch 'Olivia'. Hehe...

Randomness again..

Now it's HAZIE who's trying to freak me out.
No, it's not gonna work. :D
wow, EIGHT posts in a night?

Inspiring...

'Meet The Robinsons' soundtrack. By Rob Thomas. I've always loved inspiring songs and lyrics. Now, who said that music is sinful?

let it go,
let it roll right off your shoulder
don't you know
the hardest part is over
let it in,
let your clarity define you
in the end
we will only just remember
how it feels
our lives are made
in these small hours
these little wonders,
these twists & turns of fate
time falls away, but these small hours,
these small hours still remain
let it slide,
let your troubles fall behind you
let it shine
until you feel it all around you
and i don't mind
if it's me you need to turn to
we'll get by,
it's the heart that really matters
in the end

all of my regret
will wash away some how
but i can not forget
the way i feel right now

I simply LOVE 'Meet the Robinsons' ! :D

Meet The Robinsons!


Seriously, 'Meet the Robinsons' is the BEST Disney movie ever produced, yeah and that includes the non-animated ones.
It is VERY inspirational, you got to watch it if you haven't. And if you had, you got to watch it again and again! :D
Funny how an animated film almost brought tears to my eyes. Maybe it's because it shows that future is...well..future is UNPREDICTABLE!
Same goes to me here. No matter what result that I might get tomorrow, I will survive and KEEP MOVING FORWARD!!!
I mean, it's not like I didn't study at all! I DID! All my best!
I did complained, and grunted sometimes(in college, not here) because of my low carry marks (because of my low mid semester marks) that is really going to bring a big impact on my final grade. But I really studied for my finals to compensate them. Enough said. And I did my best during finals. So, that's it. No regret. Dean's List? It's ok if it's not meant for me. I'll try harder with continuous efforts next semester.
'KEEP MOVING FORWARD'
That's the motto of Walt Disney which is inserted in the film.
It shows that although you are facing hard times in your present life, or that you had had bitter memories of the past, BUT... who knows you might have a bright, exciting future that appeals to you at that time.
Let bygones be bygones. So, I don't really care about what tomorrow lies in store for me. Starting with the moment I got to know my result and the events that follow after it.
We just have to KEEP MOVING FORWARD!

Around here, however, we don't look backwards for very long. We keep moving forward, opening up new doors and doing new things, because we're curious...and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths.

I don't really know what Walt Disney meant about being curious and all. But in my interpretation, it seems that

Around here,(in life) however, we don't look backwards for very long (stop whining or regretting the past). We keep moving forward, opening new doors and doing new things, because we're curious to know what life has in store for us, and how it will lead us in the future. And with that sense of curiousity, we dare to explore new things in life, we dare to take chances, we dare to take risks, we are brave enough to face failures, and although we keep on falling or failing, (in this case, you can watch 'Meet the Robonsons') those obstacles that we once faced will lead and mould us to what we will become in the future. Life is but a series of lessons, you know.Hahaks..EMO.

Okay then, I'm feeling spirited and inspired! I must be optimistic! I am NOT afraid of FAILURES! NO!
And I don't care what people think about me either now or later. I just couldn't be bothered! I've got far MORE important things to think about rather than to think of what people think of me.
To tell the truth, I was feeling a little demotivated just now. But, who would have guess watching a mere Disney Animated Film could be so THERAPEUTIC?
I mean, I can say that I'm lucky to be able to watch this. I've been wanting to watch 'Meet the Robinsons' since EVER! And I just watched it just now!

Whoever said that Disney Films are so...INFANTILE, IMMATURE, OVERRATED , cut the bullshit ! COZ YOU ARE LAME! Spell it! L-A-M-E!

Haha, Blogging is therapeutic too! I can rant almost about anything! And I don't care what ngative perceptions people have upon reading my blog posts. As long as I'm not going to be arrested by the ISA and be put into jail. Oh, I don't care :)

Emotion-less

Seriously, I don't feel a thing right now.
A few of my friends are freaking out because of the imminent Semester 1 result.
Oh, bother.
Seriously, I don't feel that scared or even excited to know about my result.
Maybe the time has not come yet. Maybe I will be the one who's going to be fretting too much.
Jem said it feels like SPM. SPM? Not really. The feeling that I had while waiting for SPM result is..UNBEARABLE!
This? I'm emotion-less, I tell you.
Today is the 2nd, tomorrow's the 3rd, then 4th and 5th.
Actually, I'm quite bored. I'm tired of waiting. I want to know my result now, though of course, it's not gonna be that good, I think.
I'm tired of high expectations.
When my mum asked "What do you think you'll get?"
I just shrugged and laughed " Haha, I dunno,"
Seriously, MALAS NAK PIKIR!
One thing for sure. I've tried and done my BEST. So, that's it. Nothing to be scared of. If I do get it, Alhamdulillah. If not, just try again for the next semester. I'm not a pessimist.
Waktu belajar hari tu, otak dah tepu nak ingat notes Bio.
Dah macam zombi . Tidur pun termimpikan Maths dengan types of cartilages(too bad it didn't come out)
Mr.Result, I'm welcoming you with open arms... :)

Sunday, 26 October 2008

Yes! Yes! Yes!!!!!!

YES! I've finally found where to watch all nine seasons of X Files ONLINE! YESSIE!!!
Oh God, I was very happy the last few minutes. But now..urmm..I don't feel a thing. Oh well.
Episode 1 is loading right now. And it's quite slow. Oh, who cares. Patience is a virtue anyway. But, just wasting your time to wait for it to finish loading? OKAY, I DON'T CARE!!
:)

I'm not in the picture, enough said...:P

My stalking skills pays off! Haha, look what I've found. My GPDP Group. The MOST hilarious group ever! Alamak, Toilet Guy is not there. Oh yeah, he was the one who snapped the photo. WTH la...



The picture's too small, ain't it? ;P
Wait seminit, what's Hazim doing? He's not looking at the camera!
Refresh, Hazim is my English classmate. And he's ONE year younger. Hazie and I regard him as our own brother. Hahahaha..
EDIT: Jem, my schoolmate for NINE years, my classmate for SIX years, FAILED to detect me! (Shook my head in disbelief)

The Wonderful World of CFS

Syidah and I once played a game to entertain our guest (neighbours who came to our room). And they agreed that we are HILARIOUS! Thanks for the compliments though.
What activities did we actually do when they come to our room?
Nabilah recorded a video of us (Syidah and me) roleplaying some real life scenes. For example, Syidah imitating me and Nabilah, and I imitating Aishah when she is talking to her boyfriend. Hahahaha. Oops!
We (Me, Syidah, Aishah and Nabilah) once did a horror stories night. The four of us would gather in my room and we would spook each others with creepy stories that we have heard or encountered before and later when we realized it, it’s already 2 a.m. And we got classes tomorrow!
Sometimes, we would just listen to stories.
Sometimes, we would just laugh for no reason.

Okay, the game. It’s a creatively created game. Syidah and I created it. :P We imagined that CFS is the most wonderful place on Earth. Everything is provided here. Our lives are filled with luxuries and comfort.

Zainab College is actually Palace of the Golden Horses Hotel. We are living in big suites. And since the fourth floor is unoccupied, we assumed that the fourth floor is the penthouse and no one stayed there because they can’t afford to pay the high rate.
Kiosk ZC is actually One Utama. We could spend the whole day there browsing and wandering around the BIG and SPACIOUS mega shopping mall and then, ending up at the same place(sarcastic!). Sometimes, there would be sales, we assumed.
Cyber Café ZC is actually- I forgotla. Haha.
Café ZC is actually Starbucks. The prices of food are high there. Of coursela, it’s Starbucks, what? *shook my head in disbelief*
Madam Asmeza, the principal of ZC is the owner of the hotel. Syidah and I bragged that Madam once invited us to dinner at her suite(whatever). Well, it’s true. That incident happened during the Eid celebration in ZC. I saw Madam and greeted her. She invited me to try the Laksa Johor of which she served at her house. As I could only find Syidah and Aisyah was nowhere to be found, the both of us went to her house(though Syidah was reluctant at first) where there were two other fellows there. Yes, and we ate Laksa Johor there. During the game, Syidah bragged that the both of us got to sit on the chairs, whereas the others had to sit on the floor! We both laughed while Nabilah and Syakila rolled their eyes.
The CFS Library is actually MPH bookstores. 3 storeys! It could also be the National Library.
The ATM machines are the Bank Negara.
The Al-Malik Faisal Hall is PWTC.
The clinic is Pantai Specialist Hospital.
The small optometry kiosk is Focus Point.
EDIT: ZC Gymnasium is Fitness First. Yes! We have a gym! Unbelievable, right??
There are Jacuzzis in our bathrooms. Nabilah interrupted us by saying “ There are also bathtubs right?” Syidah waved her hand dismissively and said “ Bath tubs are low class, we have jacuzzisla!”
The TV areas in ZC are Golden Screen Cinemas.
Everyday, there would be housekeepers who come and clean our rooms and bathrooms ( Indonesian maids)
Blok E is British Chalet-eh, it’s true!
Our window is facing ZC’s badminton court. In the middle. It’s like a courtyard, you know. And the court is a badminton stadium, I think, Really? Syidah bragged that she once saw Lee Chong Wei and Lin Dan played there. They came here by a helicopter. Everyone was cheering and drooling over Lin Dan but she only has eyes for her ex-husband, Lee Chong Wei.
You know the nursery? And that there is a mini pool and slide for the little children to play with? That’s SUNWAY LAGOON! Daniel Bego once swimmed there. Syidah claimed.
The football field in front of UKC is Stadium Negara. Haha, as if!
As the people here are so wealthy, rich and loaded, we are guarded 24-hours by the top security guards.The FBIs. Low and behold, The PAKCIK GUARD AND MAKCIK GUARD!
ABC is Zoo Negara. Dunno why. Brother Mahathir once said this. Haha
What else? I can’t remember. Okay, we’ll play the games again! And will strive our best to imagine that CFS is the BEST PLACE ON EARTH!

..and a sarcastic was born on that date..

Happy 18th Birthday to me! :D
I can't believe I'm getting old!
Thanks to those who wished me Happy Birthday!
Farahin- she's the earliest, haha. 12th of OCTOBER! Then, Bun, haha. 13th of October! And Mariam, last night(morning?) at 12 something a.m. On 14th October. And others as well. My siblings? Only Danial. In friendster, of course.
Then my father. Just this morning. My mum forgot..:P. She sent me a message. Okay, a doa because I told her I am stressed out for the imminent examination! Maths!!! Second time she called me, I thought she will remember. Instead, she asked " Have you woke up? You have to chant the doa that I have given you. What are you going to do next? When are you going to study? What did you study yesterday?" Okay, things like that.
Never mindla, she got other things to attend to, I think. Her worries over my examination has made her forgotten about the birthday of her first ever child! Muahahahaha.
EDIT: She did remember, urmm, she sent me the birthday wish in the afternoon. Syafiq too.Haha. We're gonna have prior celebration when I get home.
And, yes, I'm worried about my Maths. Okay, relax. You can do it!!!
What's worse that having to celebrate your birthday during times of examinations???
Yes, the doa. It's really helpful on the time like this.
Only Allah can help me.
That is, if I help myself.
I'm trying my best here!
Wish me luck!!!

MUET

I just found out those who got Band 6 in MUET are entitled to get RM 1000 from Majlis Peperiksaan Malaysia.
How AWESOME is that???!!!
I have to work hard! Please, I want to get the RM1000.
Apparently, I don't have any idea on what to write about.
Hahaha.

I'm addicted to...

I'm currently addicted to the X Files and went on watching all (almost) the video clips available in youtube. You know, it's so unfair! Singapore got this one AWESOME channel, AXN Beyond and they show all those cult and supernatural shows like The X files, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Supernatural, Angels, Roswell and many more! It's so UNFAIR!
I've just realised that I'm addicted to X Files after haven't seen the series for like, SIX years already! Perfect timing, huh? Eh, I still study for Finals, okay.
I think Mulder and Scully are the MOST PERFECT couple ever! Isn't it great if they are together in real life? And if it's not fictional, of course.
Well, I almost cry when I watch this video. It reminds me when I got the news that my grandmother passed away. Soon after that, I listened to this song.
So, enjoy! ( I hope!)

Tuesday, 30 September 2008

I'm aware of that, thank you..

Yes, I'm aware of the fact that I have committed enormous amount of grammatical errors in my blog posts. Also, the inappropriate usage of phrasal verbs and all. Well, I'm still learning. And yes, many spelling errors. Not spelling errors of course, but typing errors.
Why am I posting this? my mum read my blog and she commented that " Grammar semua berterabur. Present tense, past tense semua campur aduk," Hahaha, Okay mum.
And off I distracted her to read Tun Dr. Mahathir's blog.
Well, we read his blog. I am very impressed with his immaculate English. I'll look him as my mentor. Haha.
Tun Dr. Mahathir. My whole family respected him. We are his supporters but not avid supporters of course. We admire his visions and the changes that he had brought to the country.
I first read his biography- a thick book entitled Mahathir-Riwayat Gagah Berani(well, something like that) when I was only nine years old! Cool, huh?
That's all from me. Selamat Hari Raya and Happy Holiday I wish to everyone!

Tales of a Sarah

One funny incident that I would like to recall. It's quite embarrassing but oh well.
I might as well blurt them all out.
During mid semester break, I was so busy studying (and enjoying my leisure time, hehe) when suddenly this bus guy sent me a very disturbing message, saying that the bus will depart one day earlier.
I was like WHAT???????
And of course, having no choice, I just GOT to take the bus on that date.
So many things that have to be done. Done them all.
The bus was supposed to fetch me at about 11 pm. And of course, them being so punctual, arrived about almost 12 a.m.
I saw the bus first. And off I went frantically running fter the bus. After a brief moment of teary eyes with family, of course. LOL.
OK. UIA bus. Why does it look so different? I was thinking at that time.
Fine.
Wait, why got so many people? I have no choice but to squeeze on the back seat.
Hang on. I thought the brothers supposed to sit at the back. Now, why the sisters are taking over.
My eyes searched wildly for the sight of Husna, my friend. Who's supposed be with me. In the same bus.
I called her and said.
" Husna, Bas dah datang! Saya dah naik bas!"
And....guess what?
" Sarah, saya tak nampak bas pun. Awak suruhlah bas tunggu. Awak kat mana?"
" Saya kat Jalan Kereta Api tu. Cepat naik! Bas dah nak jalan!"
" Awak, suruh tunggu!"
" Okay, okay,"
I put down my phone and asked that Kakak. I was so relieved that I got to take the bus. Hehe.
" Kak, tunggu! Kawan saya belum naik!"
" Siapa?" that Kakak asked.
" Nama dia Husna!"
That kakak checked through her list. Husna something something ke?
" Tak! Husna something something,"
Kakak raised her eyebrows. " Tak ada orang nama tu dalam list ni,"
" Huh??"
The bus started moving already. OMG. WHat happened???
I asked again. " Kak. Ada bas UIA lain ke?"
" Ada. Bas nak pergi UIA PJ. Nanti dia sampailah,"
OH NO!!!!
" Jadi, bas ni pergi UIA NILAI LA??"
Everyone in that bus chorused " YES!!"
And I screamed (almost) out loud. " Kak, SAYA TERSILAP BAS!!!"
And in that instant, everyone laughed. Including the brothers.
That Kakak said to that driver. " Pak cik. Tunggu. Ada orang silap bas,"
She asked the girl beside me " Kenal ke dia?"
She said " Tak. Ingatkan kau yang kenal dia," she said to the girl beside me.
Everyone of course, looked at the back and laughed laughed laughed. Some whispered to their friends beside. Aih. SOOO embarrassing la..
That pak cik dropped me off in front of the police station. Lovely sense of sarcasm, that is.
Oh dear. I saw another bus. UIA bus. I waved frantically. But it didn't budge. Remember Jem, the time at school where I always waved for my school bus to stop? Well, exactly like that.
Some girls passed by me and asked " UIA PJ kan?"
And I said "Yes,"
Seriously, it was almost 12 a.m and yet, there were SO MANY BLOODY vehicles.
Me, on the other hand, had to bring my enormous bloody heavy luggage across the traffic light. ANd everyone was watching me struggling with the luggage. I could have sworn I heard the mat motors sniggering and laughing. AT MUA!
And yes, I met Husna and she motioned me to that Bus guy and said " Ah, ni tadi kawan saya yang tersilap bas," Well, sort of. Haha.
And I couldn't help laughing and giggling all the way from SP to Seberang Perai, kot.
My mum got so mad( at me) when I told her that I almost took the wrong bus.
Well, that's all. Me, the absent minded sarcastic

Wednesday, 6 August 2008

Thanks to you, mi madame..

Okay fine..I don't know whether the headline is in French or Spanish. Neither, I think. Okay, the thing that I'm going to tell is...
THANKS TO MY DEAR ENGLISH MADAMS..
I got to IMPROVE MY ENGLISH!!!
NOt getting exempted in English is probably one of the most benficial and good thing that EVER happened to me...
Well, let's see.
1. I browsed through my old posts and I found out that I have committed MASSIVE amounts of grammatical errors and sentence structures. What's with the past participles and all..Oh man, I'm starting to conduct an English class here..(is this sentence correct :P) Oh, never mind.
In conclusion, English class brings numerous benefits in improving my English in terms of grammar and vocabulary.Hehe...
2. Wow, a free class of journalism?
Mdm Asmeza, my reading and writing teacher, sort of told us how to write PROPER sentences, coupled with good choice of words in our essays. Me, on the other hand, feel that those skills that she taught us is applicable to be used in my dream career a.k.a a writer/journalist(whatever). Eh, I still got problems with my grammar, I think. Hahaha..Never mind, have to be confident! As least I learn something! Yaay me!
3. Speaking class.
Well, I speak a lot! And not to mention stuttering and stammering in the middle of sentences, unable to finish it. And lastly, Madame Jagdish (we called her Madame Jay XD) finished it for me. Looks like she's able to grasp my idea. The thing that I'm DYING to tell her. And yes, it kinds of improve my English speaking skills. Bit by bit. Oh man. Have to start speaking ENGLISH MORE!!!
4. NICE FRIENDS!!!
there's about 20 something students in our class. The best thing is that there are only 9 first year students and the rest are 2nd year students! Whoa!!! And they're the BEST! I can tell you that. The boys especially. The seniorsla.. They're FUNNY! And let me list out the name of the 1st year students. Ahaks..
Consists of SEVEN GIRLS! (GIRLS RULE!) and 2 boys..-_-
Girls
Yours truly, a talkative, panic stricken girl, sarcastic....I'll tell you more about my sarcastic behaviour later...And urm...I'm not the best person to describe myself. NEXT!!!
Hazimah(Hazie). An extremely pretty girl! And kind of brilliant too! Madame Jay once called her HaMIzah.Hahahahahaha
Fiza. A girl I truly admire. She is...sangat selamba! and yes..very SELAMBA! Malas wanna put the word nonchalant. Yalah. Selamba!
After English class, the three of us would usually go to the library and...(just insert anything)
Kak Jal. The Kakak in our group. She's from DQ I think. Exempted Arab, English Level 6! WHOAA!!!! Kudos to you, sis! Yup, she talks in a soft, soothing voice, quite ladylike and proper. Contrary to me, of course..LOL. And she got the HIGHEST MARKS for speaking! What did I get? Haha..2nd place kot...(shy)
Nabilah/Ummi. Arab exempted.Adoii! From MRSM. The first time I saw her, she resembles Nurul Nadia Bt Azman ( a friend from school). Seriously! Nice, dia dengan Kak Jal suka menyakat saya...hahahaha
Najwa. She's quite SERIOUS!!!! A former debater...But nice, of course...taking ALLHS, hehe. NICE!
Shakira. I never failed to ask her everyday " How's your new album?" and she will answer my ridiculous question back good naturedly...Exempted Arab whoa...She got that small, soft voice. When you hear her speaking, it's as though she's trying to refrain herself from crying. Agree? :P Haha. She's the only one from KC. But yes, SHE"S REALLY NICEEE!!! And got quite amazing vocabs too..The crying dictionary. Oh, saya sangat jahat... And yes, too many NICE. Who caresla...
Hazim. A 1st year medic student. He's extremely shy. Well, at least that's what Mdm Asmeza thought so. And so, we the girls called him Shy Boy. One day I entered the class, he was alone inside. When he saw me coming in, he got up from his seat and went out. Me too, of course. What for want to sit inside class? Moments later, he came in, brought Zaki together with him. Hahahaha..
Zaki. He got the softest voice in the class. A Pharmacy student. That's all I know about him. And yes, he and Hazim always go everywhere TOGETHER. And I seriously think that he's terrified of me. After that ruler incident. So lazy want to write here. He didn't come to class on the next day. Demam Terkejut kot. Hahahahaha.
Kak Munirah: The head of our class- for the sisters. Haha, I elected her to become one.She's nice. Kalau 2nd year student, paling rapat dengan dialah...
Kak Najihah. I thought that she's angry at me. Because of the peer editing incident. I made a mess of her essay. Sorry! But then, I tried to be nice to her and even talked to her for a while when both of us were waiting to wash our clothes using the machine. Okayla. A Pharmacy student.
Kak Maziah. I don't know how did she know my name. I never saw her before. The first time that she ever talked to me was during Speaking class.
"Sarah, boleh pinjam dictionary tak?"
"Huh? okay okay. Amiklah."
And Kak Mila, Kak apa lagi ah? I forgot. Sorry! :(
The guys.
Awang Sani. I got the same reaction that you have right now upon reading his name. The Class representative. I chose him again..Coz he and Kak Munirah were in my group in the first lesson with Mdm Jay. He's the most serious student among all the 2nd year boys.
Naim. Pharmacy student. He got the messiest hair! Only his hair.Hahaha. But Fizah said that he's nice. Well, of course.
Fazli. The messiest student of all. Hahaha. Can you imagine, during English presentation, he didn't even bother to comb his hair?? And also, his necktie is a bit lopsided and he didn't buttoned his sleeves. Haha. Okay. But he's really funny. In fact the funniest one of all. No doubt about that. One thing about him. Selalu tak datang kelas.. :I
And I forgot about the others. Sorry.. :(

We Are the Torchbearers for the Ummah...Really?

Well, where should I start?

Let me warn you that this is going to be quite a long post. All my thoughts and rantings for the past few weeks are being squeezed in one entry.

Well, I've already told you that I experienced homesickness even before I entered CFOS IIUM.

Fine, fine..

DAY ONE

Inside the car, I was crying. No one saw me, I think. Or at least I hope so...Registration day. Oh man..I forgot already. And yes, I'm too lazy to type.

After registration, went to my room. So SMALL! But, never mind, I'll survive! My room mate is Syahidah, a physical science student.

Tok Uda Noriyah and Zainal (my grandaunt/uncle) brought us to eat Nasi Dagang. Seriously, I DON'T HAVE ANY APPETITE TO EAT! I kept on rubbing my eyes with the handkerchief. I will surely miss my siblings and parents, definitely...

The cryings and emo moments stopped suddenly. And yes, I CRIED, AGAIN! When my whole family sent me to my room. Okay fine, you get the picture.

It's quite difficult for me to type using this keyboard.

Actually, I don't have any mood to write and my writing skills are urm....diminishing. Bit by bit.

We have to perform the congregational prayers with everyone downstairs...

Oh yes, I'm staying in Mahallah Zainab Jahsy, Hotel Zainab, if you ask me...It looks like a simple 3 stars hote if you ask me..And it is located on the top of a hill, which makes it in the highest position or something like that. Told you my vocabs and writing skills are deteriorating!

Okay, first night. Found Husna, what A NICE GIRL!!!. She's taking ALLHS, same as me...

Then, there's another Syahidah(her room mate), a St Georgian who got Pharmacy but planning to switch to Medic later on...

Okay, I confess. I ALMOST cry before going to bed but when I woke up at 4 in the morning, I feel nothing. It's as though I have grown accustomed to the surroundings...LOL.

Ah, I don't want to tell about the bloody tiring taaruf week activities. Let me summarize it in just ONE WORD.. LETHARGIC!!!!

Don't have time to sleep(duhh!!!) , to EAT! (seriously, one girl was admitted to the hospital because of this) and yes, the other reason is that she was feeling stressed out. Blah-blah-blah... I totally understand her. We are in the same boat.

My mum called me everyday. She told me that my FATHER cried in the car..Woohooo....

And when they reached home back in SP, they said that they could still see the dent on my pillow..Huhu...And my father began reminiscing my childhood days...Of course la I CRIED!!!

And...yes, got the stupid EPT and APT tests. I left the room earlier than everyone. I DID MY BEST already...AND I GOT LEVEL SIX??????? Okay fine, one must not complain. I FIRMLY believe that there are BLESSINGS in disguises or at least.. TRYING to believe..Where as someone that I know....got LISTENING AND SPEAKING! WTH....ONLY FIVE PEOPLE GOT L/S. Haih....

And Arab level 1, definitely...Oh yeah..I changed to Pharmacy.

First weekend, sleep over at Tok Uda's house. She bought me a book..A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini. Quite an enchanting tale. I read it twice already...Just a reminder that there are lots of other people (women) out there who suffered misfortunes and unfortunate events throughout their lives.

to be continued....

GERMANY WON!!!

Yes yes,I know. Ada masa lagi nak tengok bola, LOL.
Well, of course. The last time I watched the team Germany performed was during the World Cup 2006, I think. Against Portugal. Wow, 2 years already. How time flies..:(
Ok well, I was packing everything yesterday until about 1 something a.m and I realsed that I have left out something important. MATHEMATICAL INSTRUMENTS! Haih! Gonna get it by today.And also, got to send the documents to JPA. -_-.
Well, I stayed up, of course. I tried to wake up Syafiq but he woldn't budge from his bed. Who careslah..He's going to school anyway.
And so, I managed to get Syazwani, my ever darling sister to accompany me to watch the match downstairs. We dragged our comforter and pillows together with us. Tee hee..
OMG, the match is very memorable. It kinds of reminisce me the time where I broke down just because GERMANY LOST TO BLOODY ITALY!.
Yuh, I know. I'm so sensitive.
Everyone looks old, haha...:P
They had different hairstyles too. I've never realised that Ballack's hair is so...curly.
And my sis asked why Lahm looks as if he had been punched hard on his face. Well, that's what we've been trying to tell RAVINDER! Oh, those moments.
Overall, all the players made a great team. They are not selfless. They don't care who shot the goal as long as they managed to to do it. Well, duh! It's predictable that Germany will win against POLAND! Somehow, I felt a bit sympathy towards the Poland team. They never ever won against the MIGHTY Germany! Pity the coachlah.haha.
Speaking of coach, Joachim Low is HOTTT, right? He resembles the old Jurgen Klinsmann a bit. It's just that he's MORE HOTTT!!! Maybe it's because of his raven black hair, LOL.
Oh, PODOLSKI! Podolski shot both goals that claimed Germany's victory over Poland. Whoa..
Klose didn't managed to get any goal though...:P And Schweinsteiger, he came in to join the etam for about 7 minutes and ALREADY he received a yellow card. Wakakakakaka..His hair looks different..
Wow, Germany. You guys changed my world. And I will never ever forget the moments where I have transformed from a football hater to a football head. Thanks to Farahin and Suraya too, of course. And my WHOLE CLASSMATES! :) We all LOVE FOOTBALL!!! Though we are girls, of course. Oh, I started to miss you guys already. :(
And the players are getting old. I could still remember seeing Klose's face in the headline during World Cup 2002! SIX YEARS AGO!!!
Oliver Kahn's gone. And I predict the rest will leave the team too, after World Cup 2010. They are too old for this already..:( So maybe, World Cup 2010 wil be the last ever chance that I will have to watch their final matches. After that, maybe Ballack will leave,Klose too, maybe. And Lehmann..the other sniors before..:( No doubt that Podolksi and lahm will continue serving the team until well, let's say.. World Cup 2014. Oh dear, they will become old at that time. And me too. All of us. World Cup only happens once in four years. You saw them four years ago and you will be surprised to see how they aged when you see them again four years later. Well, life's like that. I slept at around 4. 40, I think. And woke up for Subuh prayer and slept again.
I'm going today, bye-bye you guys...
