I slept for an hour during the last double periods of Mathematics earlier. Also, I had my English orals today. I was quite tired. I did good. The topics given were about why parents expect too much on their children and about my friends. Mrs. Manik mistook me for Amin. Do we even look the same? Now that the mock orals are finally done with, revising is all there's left to do. Our mock written exams are on the 14th August, 2010. I hope I am well-prepared.

I just got back from an awesome yet tiring night playing futsal at Kebajikan. We played from 7 until 9. I'd like to thank Waie Saiful for the invitation! Thank goodness we had enough players to start the game. It was a 6-on-6 game. Our team consisted of Amin, Omar, Malik, Waie Saiful, a friend of his dad and myself. We were really dominating in the game, I tell ya! It looked as if each one of us was eager to play. Each one of us had the chances to score, passing was terrific and teamwork was worth it. It was filled with laughters because the floor was slippery. I think everyone slipped and fell during the game. Again, thank you!
At last I did my Malay orals without any hesitation. The comprehension wasn't bad after all. It was about the oil and gas industry. What else to say about my dialogue - the topics that the teacher asked me was about my hobby and what are the uses of the mosques. It went well and I am glad that it's over. Now for the English orals. I hope I can do better than in the Malay orals.
I've made a new track entitled 'Inspired'. It is the eleventh track in the album, 'Pleasant Days' so far. It is July 25th's work and I've managed to finish it by tonight. It's a good thing that I've got my inspirations to do so. Give it a listen! I hope you enjoy listening to it as much as I did! (If it says, 'This track is currently not available', go to the URL manually. Thanks!)
I was feeling nervous as I walked my way to class because I didn't know if my new haircut would surprise my friends. I took a deep breath and waited for the reactions. The guys at the back wooed and complimented. I felt relieved. I'm still getting used to it though because there are certain people that I'm afraid to face - like you over at the waiting area. All's well that ends well. Looks are just looks. It's what's inside that matters, right?
You know every time when you log in your Windows Live Messenger and eventually a Today window pops up? (Some of you might check the 'Don't show me this again' box) I used to get sick of that and had it disabled. But a few days ago, I let it pop up for every time I log in. You see, I'd like to know more of what's happening on the other side of the world. Besides, I don't really watch television to see the news. You should too! The topics aren't that bad! I found this topic about a pilot ejecting an instant before fighterjet crashes.
I thought I was late for school because I woke up 20 minutes before the class started. I got up, got ready and headed for school. When I arrived, I entered the class to find no one there. I texted my friend, Sahrul up to know where he was. He didn't reply but luckily, two of my friends came in late as well. We went up to the AVA Room and there they were. It looked like only a few came but I was wrong. Amin and Azrin were absent. Amin didn't attend it because he was coughing real bad and he doesn't want his friends to get sick. Yeah, sure! :p Two hours of Geography felt like the normal double periods we have every Wednesday. As for Chemistry, well, let's just say some of us had an hour of free time. 0:)
Have you ever felt that there are some things that you would like to get off your chest but you just couldn't tell this particular person because you're afraid to do so? Yes. That's how I feel right now. I need help. Extra help. I am afraid to make the move. Will you be there to help me when I do?
After school, Nick arranged a meeting for Cobra F.C. He has elected Waie Saiful was elected as the treasurer, Amin as the second captain, I was in-charge of the team management, Wafiy as the disciplinarian and Harith Waie and Azrin of the fitness training. We've been informed that our away jersey is coming so we'll just have to sit tight and so do our training kits (Miss Tasha's jersey).
I think we got the crowd going back there earlier. The practice was worth it! Although Qi Hao and I might have hurt our fingers from all the strumming. But for the sake of our performance, we just had to sacrifice ourselves. A combination of Fireflies and Bad Romance may not suit the melody but we sure killed the performance! If it wasn't for Tayib's last minute pose stances, we wouldn't have gotten as much applause as we could! Thank you to all of you who sang along and supported! Munibah and Callistus did a very good job covering 'Hey, Soul Sister' too! I'm going to miss strumming the guitar on stage because this may be the last time I'll perform for an occasion like Lit Fest or Friendship Day. Also, congratulations to Patricia Chong for being the best speaker for the debate.
I didn't attend the extra classes today. I was lazy because I thought it would ruin my Friday. Well, my Friday was ruined after all by missing the Friday prayer because my driver didn't want to go. I had no idea why. Things were all okay after that because the practice for Lit Fest was still on. There were only a few of us and I think we did great. Tayib was practising for the choir. I hope we can do better during the actual day. Oh! I even met Afiq whom I haven't seen for so long! It was a pleasure to see you once again, bro! I hope to see you again soon!
We went fishing today at Sungai Besar in Kota Batu. We bought live baits from around the area there. The first place we went to check for the baits was in Batu Bersurat but they ran out. After that, we tried Pasar Gadong. We surveyed the pasar for a cheap sale for prawns but to no avail. There were anchovies that looked like it would make a good bait so Fikri asked one of the fishmongers. Instead of expecting a yes for an answer, the guy immediately said no. He asked again if there were any live prawns for sale. He laughed. He said that it was his first time hearing that in the place. Prick. ==
I just remembered that today is my little sister's birthday!
Maktab Duli's Open Day was really exciting! The school compound is huge! -- and not to forget, CLEAN! There were only about 20 students from our school and a whole lot from the other secondary schools. Also, there were more girls than boys. It almost feels like we're part of the school already. The briefings were well-explained. The school staff were friendly. Shavez even mentioned that there was a black court especially for futsal. We took a look at it after we prayed at the boy's hostel. I even met Fathul and Geez there when they were having their personal study. It was nice to see you guys! If only Azrin, Sahrul and Omar were there. We were having fun tweeting about what we said. You can check out my Twitter for 'em. Hilarious!
Earlier this afternoon, there were three events (to be held during Lit Fest) to see which two houses will qualify for each of it. Danson screwed up in role-play. The main actors were Qi Hao, Tayib, Nick and I. Nick couldn't make it because of some reasons and Tayib arrived late. Brian and Calvin replaced them for it. Our topic was 'a ghost trying to scare us'. Qi Hao and I were doing good talking in British accent at the beginning but then things started to get lamer and lamer. We went brain-dead after our blurry actions. We even went far from the judges. Well, I guess that's over. Hollis and Macdougall qualified for the role-play, by the way. As for Dumb Charade, Danson didn't qualify for it as well! I don't remember which two houses did.
I can't believe I'm missing the finals of the World Cup 2010! I really wish I could but then there's something wrong with the Astro. First, I had trouble with the wirings and next, the Astro's smartcard is inactive! Why wasn't I informed earlier? I could've gone out and watch the game with my friends or something. This is JUST great! Upset and disappointed - way to go!
I just got back from Omar's. I went to his place around 3 o'clock earlier. Tayib and Amin were the only ones whom I hung out with. We picked Amin up from his facial treatment in Serusop. Besides surfing the net, I played FIFA 2010 against Tayib and Omar. It was shouting the whole way, I tell you. My match against Tayib resulted in a clean win with the scoreline of 1 - 5. Basically, Tayib's score was from an owl goal. However, Omar's match was pretty tight. We played 3 matches altogether.
Kevin, Vuili and Qi Hao got their jerseys! Welcome to the club! Our football match against SAS + Knights F.C. was cancelled because most of them didn't show up. Instead, we used the day as our training and eventually, a match practice. In the midst of playing, some firemen came and wanted to play on the field - against us so we accepted their friendly match. I put Cobra F.C. ahead in less than a minute after the firemen's kick-off. Amin scored two other goals and they headed one in. The scoreline is:
Waie Saiful's function today was a blast! I thought he invited the guys only - turns out Khairunnisa, Amalina, Bazlaa and her cousin were invited as well! I didn't know Qi Hao was so good at playing guitar. He played 'Cliffs of Dover' and my God, he played it so fantastically although he stopped halfway because he didn't remember the tabs. The room was ever noisy because of Sahrul's disturbance, the guys playing FIFA 2010 on the PS2, the guitars and even playing DotA! I think I lost my voice from all the shouting I did while playing FIFA with Tayib. Well, I had so much fun. Thanks, guys! I hope we can do this again. After the examinations, maybe? :)
We surprised the birthday boy, Waie Saiful in class after school today. Too bad Vuili went home early. Let me just say:
Is it true? Is it true that they're making bets on an octopus? Kevin told me about 'Paul the Octopus' predicting Germany's matches. So far, the octopus has a 100% record in the World Cup. Check this video out as the octopus predicted Germany's victory against Argentina last night. Unbelievable!
Our annual sports day held at the SOAS field today was exciting and awesome! Danson's march past got a little out of hand because we missed our performance. We were supposed to stop and do it but our captain kept on marching until we lined ourselves up on the field. The other houses got to do their performances in the midst of their march. We thought we were screwed but luckily one of our fellow mates, Esther ran up to the emcees and demanded for us to do ours after all the other houses got into their line. I was the beatsmaker by drumming on the snare. I had lots of fun! We got third place in the march past but not to worry. I think all of the houses did a fantastic job!
I'd like to thank all of you who have been stopping by to read this precious blog of mine. It contains a lot of bittersweet memories, don't you think? I, myself laughed while going back to read about what went on in the past. I hope to make it more enjoyable and entertaining for you to read even if it means a short message. Hey! Even a short message can change your thinking! :)
Yeay! My Bluetooth device is working again but still missing its license data though. How? I backed up my system to 22nd June's restore point where I didn't download RegCure yet. I have got my uninstalled programs back but my documents remain untouched. My laptop's not even slow one bit! That's because I removed the programs that I did and updated every program that needs to be updated. Thank goodness for that! Now, I'll be able to send and receive files without a single error!
