Life was like a box of chocolates.

First year was over about a month ago for most of us; before I went back to Malaysia I managed to sort of interview a couple of my friends, asking them about on their thoughts of how their experience of being a first year was like. I know, a brief interview from two individuals is way too few, I was pretty disappointed with myself for not planning this properly, hence I did not exactly have the time to go around collecting opinions from al over. But nevertheless, something is still better than nothing, ain't it?  So here it is, edited and published. Enjoy~ Forgive me for not being creative enough since it has been a very long time since I last edited videos, plus I am still not very familiar with the later version of Windows Live Movie Maker I currently have installed in my Winky.  I leave the rest to you.......

The dream you are about to read about down below was actually a dream I had last year when I was on a road trip in the UK. We spend the night in Birmingham mosque when it happened. That morning as I was driving to Manchester I was left so disturbed, was it a sign, a sort of gentle reminder of how the future of mine could turn out to be? Or was it simply a projection created by none other than my own wild imaginations? I dreamt of a girl, whom I believe to be a close friend of mine was about to get married. Then the night before her big day, she rang me. Surely I was shocked to get a call from the bride-to-be, but considering that she must have a pretty good reason for doing so, I picked it up. She nervously confessed to me that she was having cold feet, she was scared that she was making the wrong call. I cannot help but to think to myself, why the heck did she chose to ring me of all the many acquaintances she got. Why ring your guy friend when you have lots of other girl friends to

I was about to go out just now until I realized that my bike's front tire is punctured, so before I go and fix it I decided to post the song of the week. If any of you noticed I've posted a couple of songs for my friends on the day they left for Malaysia last week, so this time it is my turn! This is my soundtrack for coming back home this summer! Happy summer y'all!

the long check-in queue in Heathrow Terminal 4 I am finally back at home, yeay! How long has it been? Nine months if I am not mistaken. Surely felt like it has been forever. Things sure look a lot different from the way how it used to. The old cat who always come by around the back of my house is dead, there are new glasses in the kitchen, new plates, my dad installed new lights, even the neighborhood seems different from my eyes. But regardless of all of that, I am still glad to be home. thank you...cabin crew, nice food & funny captain! I did not really feel the 12 hours spent on the plane yesterday. You may say that that is because I was excited to go back home, but the truth is, I was too tired to actually feel excited at all. For those of you who are not so familiar with me and sleeping habits, I am a heavy sleeper. I can spend an entire day in bed, trust me. When I sleep, I will stay asleep for quite some time. Not that I do not realize what is going on around me,

This past couple of days I have been going back and forth from Heathrow on a daily basis. On Monday I went to send off Munir, Afiq Walid, Afiq Salleh, Tasnim and also Bukh, while earlier yesterday was Hasan’s turn to return home. It is not that fun, sending your friends off back home, because by doing so it only make you long to join them. But then again, it is not like my own flight back is that far off. In fact, it is actually today at noon. No I did not cry when they are off! I mean come on, it is not like that I will not see them again, we are housemates, so we will see plenty of each other next year. For me, personally I just thought that it is only fair that I go and send them off just to give them the feel. When we first got here, each of our own families were the ones who sent us off, but now that we are about to head home for the summer, at least having some friends by your side is quite a close substitute. So, my flight is less than 12 hours from now. Am I excited?

I am a big fan of Paulo Coelho’s writing, so when I heard that his new book was going to be published last year, I got very excited to leave for London because back at home, it sure takes a while for new titles to reach the stores. Ironically enough, by the time I actually got here, I decided not to buy the book and went for the digital version of it instead. I was done with the book a couple of weeks ago, and all in all, it was an impressive piece indeed. If you’ve read Coelho’s pieces, such as the Alchemist for example, you’d know that his genre is more towards the spiritual journey to find your own self kind of thing. This book pretty much follows through the same theme, but what makes it different is the fact that this time, the adventure gets even more exciting. It tells a story about a man who has knowledge on magic, who one day found himself to be lost. He questioned himself of his purpose in this life, all of a sudden, his faith began to crumble. Hence, his teach

A few months ago I wrote this article, but being a failed writer that I am, it was never approved by the boards. Hence before I clicked the delete button on it, lets just copy and paste it here. I worked so hard on it too. I sat in the corridors of UCL until 1 in the morning to finish it, but yeah, who would even bother reading the thoughts of an idiot like me. I have quite a few other pieces saved on my computer waiting to be deleted, but lets do it one at a time. So here it is, rest in peace my friend~ I n conjunction with the  UKEC-GRADUAN Careers Fair , CEKU’s April edition will be focussed on jobs and careers. In this issue, we at CEKU want to look at major issues regarding work and working in Malaysia: of the brain drain situation Malaysia is currently faced with, of the issue of migrant workers workers in our country, of the national education system’s successes and failures in preparing young Malaysians for the world and the workforce. We also want to take a s

Getting married; I've been meaning to write on this topic for a very long time unfortunately when I do have the time to do so, it always escaped my thought. I noticed that ever since I stepped foot here in the UK this topic is commonly being brought into conversations. If there it was just one or two people, then sure, I have no problem with it, but when the exact same topic is talked about in almost every conversation, one cannot help but to wonder, is it on the headlines nowadays or something? Are we that lonely in life that we long to get married so soon? I don't think so. We have our friends of which we can always talk to everyday. Now with the advancement in technologies, we are just a finger tip away from saying hi to our friend halfway across the globe. Technologies are meant to enable us to live life with ease, unfortunately being humans our demands are infinite. Nothing is hardly ever enough for us. So why do we still feel alone? Ironic, ain't it? When I asked

Why I like this song?: One day as I was browsing through the files in my laptop looking for a good song to listen to I came across the movie Sepi. I remembered that I've already watched it before, back when I was in KTJ. Given that there was no other movies worth watching at the time, I said to myself, what the heck, why not watch it all over again. Surprisingly, even though this is my second time watching it, the movie still managed to get me. I was touched all over again. In the end, when all the four love stories are connected into one, this song was played. Again, I tried typing the name of the song on Winky, then voila! They say that parting is a natural way of life, it is just one of those inevitable things in life, the other one we are more familiar with has to definitely be death. Do not get me wrong, this has nothing to do with my love life. Haha. I have bigger things to do at the moment. I leave the rest to you.......
