Song of the week...

Image
This week's song is, Next To You by Chris Brown feat. Justin Bieber. Don't get me wrong though, I am no fan of that kid, but frankly speaking, this new song is really something. The one other thing that I can't get off my mind about this song is the fact that Chris Brown's hair color. I personally don't think that such a color suits his look, but given the concept of the music video, maybe it gives him a bit of an edge, but again, maybe that's just me. This part of the song is specially dedicated to Bna, 'And baby, everything that I have is yours, You will never go cold or hungry. I’ll be there when you’re insecure, Let you know that you’re always lovely. Girl, cos you are the only thing that I got right now' Let's have a wonderful last week in KTJ!  I leave the rest to you.......

Food post!

So I am home tonight for the weekend and ordered a pizza for my own self, figured I'd treat myself something since I've just finished my A-levels but have yet to celebrate my freedom. I don't exactly know how this started, but I begin to think that have become obsessed about food. Yes, I am more than aware of the fact that I do eat a lot, thank you, but that's not quite what I was trying to say. I am getting fascinated by food now. Though I may not know much nor have I had the chance to taste some of the loveliest food besides my mom's cooking and Bna's, but there is still time to make up for that. First off, Lilian's Red Velvet cupcake. I had one of these last night from Stanley. I don't think I was supposed to take it actually as it not exactly intended for me, but lucky for me as I went downstairs to the pantry last night, they offered me one of those cupcakes. hehe. Frankly, this is the first time I've ever heard and tasted a red velvet cupcake

Songs stuck in my head...

I've always had this issue of hearing things like songs or certain tunes humming inside of my head whenever I'm doing something. When I was doing my SPM Add Math, it was One Step at a Time by Jordin Sparks, it became somewhat of a theme song for that event in my life. The past few weeks, there are a couple of songs that kept playing on inside of my head, even while I was sitting for my real exams. These are the two: Positive by Taio Cruz. I first heard this song when I was watching this year's American Idol finals and..... For the First Time by The Script enjoy~

Done with A-levels!!

Image
Finally, here I am, finished with my A-levels. The last three days was surely very tiring indeed, having to force myself to hit the books and notes while everybody else around me is busily talking about their holiday plans, playing games and so much more. As of this very moment, I am officially allowed to do all those things as well, hooray!!! Am I going to miss this place? Well the memories I've had here were priceless. It's ironic that I don't think I missed being in SAS as much as I am going to miss this place of which I spent only a couple of years being here. I've met a lot of new interesting people from all over the world and dealt with a whole lot of situations. I can honestly say that the two years I've been here really changed me into becoming a more matured person. My 'guru' once taught me that the only time wasted is the time when you learn nothing to make yourself mature of the ways of the world, which is very true. It is a waste if you find

Imran Upper 6 dinner, African style~

Image
So yesterday our housemaster Mr Catto took the whole lot of us Upper 6’s out to an African restaurant knowned as,  Out of Africa Restaurant  in PJ. The place is co-owned by Dave (if I’m not mistaken) an acquaintance of Mr Catto. For all of us, this is our first time ever tasting African cuisine. I sat near to the Cattos that night, talked with the missus most of the time about food. I am no food critique but I have picked up a little bit on them since I spent most of my free time watching Top Chef. For starters I had Ostrich Carpaccio. Asyiq was astounded when he learnt that carpaccio is actually a raw meat dish where the meat is thinly sliced and usually marinated with something to give it some flavor, served together with some vegetables. The meat was nice and juicy, not dry as I expected it to be, while the veggies were not that bad, the flavor on them was interesting, something like vinegar I think. My main dish was Venison pie. I gotta tell you though, it really looked to me

A death in the family

There’s been a death in my family recently. Last Monday, my mother’s elder sister died in Hospital Selayang. My mom texted me around 8 o’clock that morning while I was at assembly, which explained why my phone went off that morning. She went back to Terengganu straight away to attend the funeral service of her last living sister. From now on, she is the only girl left alive in her family of six. -AL-FATIHAH-

Rise Above 1 Lyrics Reeve Carney ft Bono and The Edge And you said rise above open your eyes up And you said rise above but I can’t, I can’t How long will it take before these feelings Go away ... How much longer do I wait and are there any real answers Anyway .. (You said if you ..) Your silence in a crowded room Louder than the loudest tune I hang on every word And you said rise above open your eyes up And you said rise above but I can’t, I can’t I miss you in everything I was too fast travelling To take you in .. I know, silence is no crime Just wish I could hear you fell it up One more time Yes, I know what you’d say to me Exactly what you said to me I still hang on every word! And you said rise above (oh oh) open your eyes up And you said rise above, yourself ... In a time of treason is there time for trust Where there’s no them, only us Is there time for reason? Has your heart had enough Is it time to let go and rise above? And you said rise above 1 Open your e

Today; 8th Monthysary!

Just finished my Economics today! Man, I can't tell you how happy I am when I walked my way out of the hall just now, to be a free man from all those Economic theories and such. This week has been very hard on me, I can tell you that. It started out with my dreadful paper 4 on Tuesday; luckily today’s paper 3 went better. Tell you what, having finished my Economics papers, I could not be happier. I don't hate the subject, yes it may be tough to answer when it comes to doing the exams, but the things I learn from all of it was something I really am grateful for. As I went to bed last night, thinking to myself, 'why in the world did I end up doing this?’ I don't think there is anything else better suited for my own self. This is what intrigued me in the first place; the excitement of learning a simple concept then manipulating it, putting it into real-life scenario and sees how it goes, while at the same time try to explain the consequences of it all. To understan

Why do I issue in trusting people?

One reason why I don’t trust people much could be because I have not much good experiences in the past. Most of them are clouded by dark shadows, reminding me of how unhappy of a person I am back then. I don’t trust people so easily because back when I was in form 3, when I was made a prefect, I tried to voice out my friends’ struggle in English to my teacher through my prefect teacher. It turned out my prefect teacher seemed to bring the matter straight up to the principal. So my English was warned by my principal, and later when she learnt it was me who was behind it all, she casted me away. Did I mentioned, she managed to make the whole teachers in my school to give me that bad-guy look, eversince that day I was marked as a troublemaker. That was when I swore to myself, I’d never trust people ever so easily again, and it also made me hate authorities. I became a changed man since that day. I learn to walk away once my time in SAS is over. I am grateful for my parents sending me the

Econs day

Sat for my Economics essay paper yesterday evening, and it was not that good I must say. I can honestly tell you that I felt this calmness while I was writing my answers down, which was a good thing since I don’t think I’ve had such feeling since I last answered ‘Stars’, my one-word English essay question during SPM. But unfortunately, the rest of the paper was not as bright, so I’d rather not talk about it much. Bna seemed to sense my uneasiness when she saw me got out of the hall. Luckily she managed to help me forget about that and filled my head with happy, cheerful thoughts instead. All I am thinking about right now is for this week to end. Its’ been a very long time since I enjoyed freedom. I did nothing for the past couple of months but read Economics and write essays all week long. I know efforts won’t guarantee one’s success, but I did all of that just so that I can improve my writing skills, which I can happily say I managed to do yesterday. I need to go back home this weeke

How ready am I?

Today marks 20 exact days before I am officially no more a KTJ student. Gosh, I really can't wait for that. But more on that later, it is still much work to be done before I can sit back and enjoy my life. My first and only CIE paper is going to be this Tuesday. It has been a very long and tiring wait. I just can't wait to just get it done and over with.  Am I fully prepared to sit for it? Well urm, honestly I am never prepared to do anything, so yeah I guess this is just as prepared as I'll ever going to be. Although I do wish that I could have done more to improve on my writing skills.  At this stage, it is common to have cold feet, so how about you? Actually I just had a scar thought going through my head last night on this. Failure is always on our back no matter what we do, that sense of doubt clouding our head making us wonder how our future would be like, it does haunt me sometimes, but I try not to think about it. Its what Liyana taught me recently. 'We might
