Life was like a box of chocolates.

I have been listening to this song for a few months now, but it never occurred to me to actually pick it up as one of my songs of the week, until today finally came and I finally changed my mind. Here  how it goes... Just as any other weeked, I had my video session with Rahimah. We talked and talked till late at night. The fact that she was willing to wake up so early on a Sunday morning really touched me, but I'd never told her that. Then we got to talking about the condition of one of my family members who was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer. The day before yesterday my mom texted me saying that her condition was getting worse; at the time, she could not even open her own eyes anymore. The whole family returned home to visit her, including my parents.  I was praying the best for her, though deep down in my gut I knew that her chances are slim. This I knew from younger brother who read the doctor's report as well as the x-ray and stuff when they came down to KL last su...

Why I like this song?:  Yes, I know that I may not look like a Nasyid-song lover, but last night on our way back from the Nadira's house-warming, all of a sudden I heard a tune ringing inside my ears while I was not even wearing my earphones the whole journey! To be even more truthful, I may have never even liked the song before! When Afiq Walid heard that I was listening to this, he quickly told me that it was about the story of life; on how when an individual is borne into the world he is comparable to that of a newly planted seed. Then the song continues on until the seed grows into a tree all the way until it dies. In short, it is a reminder to us all of how brief and full challenging our life is.

Why I like this song?:  This is a very sad song with very deep lyrics. When I first listened to it, I honestly thought that it was a soundtrack from a TV series or a movie because the song was sooo deep and meaningful. It tells a story about a guy who is deeply in love with a girl (as always), but the twist in the plot is when that he secretly sick. He is counting his last days while at the same time he still cares for her. Hence, the title of the song, he wishes that she would find another guy to take his place when he is gone while at the same time the song contains his last words for her. It is a memento he left behind for her when he is gone. Credits to Rahimah for introducing me to this very powerful song!

I should seriously punish myself for being so lazy in updating my blog. It's not that I am that busy that I do not have the time to actually do it, but the truth is, I am just plain lazy to do so. I mean, yeah, with my tablet and my smartphone, I should have been more active. I love my Tuesdays, not only because this is the day when I get to download new episodes of HIMYM as well as Gossip Girl, but particularly because I have no lectures on the day. Okay, maybe in the near future I might have some tutorials to attend, but since all UCL lectures are in two-hours block, an hour of tutorial goes by right before you know it. But they do get pretty boring and sleepy at times too, or maybe that's just me. Second year, time sure flies by so quickly. I can still vividly recall the memories of last year in my head, both the nice and the bad ones. For those of you who might still remember, I for one have a 'special' reason why I despise Sundays so much. Some of you out the...

Summer has ended, lectures have already started for us here in UCL. This had been a pretty hectic week for myself as there were much for me to sort out, both academic and non-academic related. To kick things off, there was the internet. We told our landlord that we wanted to use his BT Broadband account just for the month of September, so come last Monday, our flat was left without an internet connection, while the newly subscribed VirginMedia broadband was due to be up and running on Thursday. So yeah, the six of us were left without an internet connection for three days. How was that like? Well, since the six of us were all pretty well adapted to the life with the internet always switched on it was pretty challenging, what more when me and the UCL boys already have our lectures on, so we were in dire need of an internet connection to go to Moodle and download the slides with other reading materials. Come Thursday, I was anxious the entire day, waiting for any sorts of communicati...
