Happy birthdays!

Happy 12th Birthday Huda Athirah! Happy Birthday Wanja Charles!May Allah bless the both of you. Enjoy today like there's no tomorrow! x

A new beginning.

After school today, it was my range of index numbers to sit for the English oral. Before we did, 7 of us had lunch at Aminah Arif, Kiulap. The ambuyat was very tasty! - so were the side dishes. Man, I am craving for some right now.

The oral was taken place in the library. I was feeling nervous when I sat to practice for the passage - scared if I got my tongue tied. When Syamini was dismissed, it was my turn to face and provide the two invigilators a decent conversation. They turned out friendly as expected! Before I even started on reading the passage, already they were asking me questions regarding my hair, facial hair and my music career. I nearly broke down but gained confidence. I had no other choices but to give them my opinion. It gotten interesting as they asked about. Overall, it was relieving and better. Better than Malay oral, I presume! Seriously. Good luck to those who are going to sit for theirs.

I went to Qiida's open house. Zul was there and he brought along his siblings, Fizah and Mizah. It was really fun! It felt like I was on a roll with them. I hope I can keep this up because.. I think I am doing great so far, am I not? Hehehe. Fikri and Fathul showed up after awhile. Qida's place was more like a musical school with the piano played - even the violin was brought out! She is really good in the piano. Fizah also looked blurry when she held the violin. E'ot. I was wondering why Afiq didn't show up. I guess this is the start of something new!

Brother's Day Out.

Fathul went for his operation to pluck off his wisdom tooth today and good news, it was successful. He's a bit slurred on his speaking now. I hope it heals in no time! Afiq came over to pick us up and go to the hospital to meet up with Fathul but then, Fikri got a call from him saying that he went back to Zul's already.

Brother's Day Out - we spent the day with a relaxing car-wash here at Zul's. Two cars at first but not until Zul's mom came back from work. It does feel good to see a shiny vehicle again, eh? Too bad it rained not long after we went inside. No worries. At least we killed time by washing cars. We were supposed to go fishing but cancelled it due to the rainy weather. The fishes are cool with the weather though - except for us.

Happy birthday!

Happy 17th Birthday Syamini Alimin!

Funny moments are bound to happen whenever you're awround. Hehehe. May Allah bless you.

Happy Teacher's Day.

I have no regrets for coming to school today! First it was the rose-giving and next was the hyper energy that everyone unleashed in the hall! Even the singing of the National Anthem and School Song was yet the loudest this year. An iqrar was followed after that. The emcees were Natt and Samuel - you guys did your part! There were mostly dance performances and Rirah's acoustic performance. She was really good! We should definitely collaborate next time!

Aisle Of Before wanted to perform as well but we were told that we couldn't anymore. But after the occasion, one of the councilors said that we could have! Damn. We missed the opportunity to show the whole school whoever is in Aisle Of Before! There will not be a next time for this is our last year. I'd like to wish every teacher a very happy and blessed teacher's day! You guys sure have made a difference.

Alhamdulillah.

NEW YORK – A Florida pastor says his church will "not today, not ever" burn a Quran, even if a mosque is built near ground zero.

Pastor Terry Jones had threatened to burn the Muslim holy book on the anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks over plans to build an Islamic center near where terrorists brought down the World Trade Center nine years ago. He flew to New York and appeared on NBC's "Today" show. He says that his Gainesville, Fla., church's goal was "to expose that there is an element of Islam that is very dangerous and very radical."

He tells NBC that "we have definitely accomplished that mission." He says no meeting is planned with the imam leading the center but he hopes one will take place.

A "Burn a Koran Day" banner outside his church has been taken down. Terry Jones, the terrible, intolerant opportunist in charge of “Burn A Koran Day,” has officially canceled the event. He is still a bad person.

Strange but funny.

A few hours ago (I think it was around 10:30 PM), I went to a mini store not far from Kpg. Bebatik Kilanas. I was in the car when this old man in a gray-coloured car was trying to reverse his way out of the cramped area. I didn't quite concentrate on him at first until an Indian marched out of the store looking pissed. From there, I saw the old man who rammed a pole of the store twice! It looked like he was doing it on purpose! I think he did once previously before the Indian came out. The pole was slightly bent and the front bumper of the old man's car was damaged. I was scared that he might reverse his car onto our's! When he succeeded in rotating his car around, he just drove off like nothing happened back there. The Indian gave me this 'Wtf-is-his-problem' look and it's kind of funny because he did with the hand gesture. He couldn't be drunk, could he? Maybe he's just too old to drive around at night like that so guys, advise your elderlies to drive safely, not only at night, but whenever.

First defeat this season for the Blues.

Chelsea 3 - 4 Newcastle United

First, it was Salomon Kalou. Next, it was Yossi Benayoun. Chelsea who already used up 3 substitutions has to play 10 men on the pitch. If it wasn't for Van Aanhort's nap and Jefrey Bruma's clumsy foul, Chelsea would've won tonight's match - maintaining a clean record for not losing in this season. I guess Newcastle United beat them to it with a flick from N. Ranger and a superb free-kick from R. Taylor in the first half. Both teams played very well. It was a breath-taking match indeed. I, myself was cheering off especially during Nicolas Anelka's cool penalty shootout. No one would take a penalty like that. Also, a new future star in Stamford Bridge, 17 year-old Josh McEachran performed tremendously on the pitch in his second appearance for Chelsea.
Even the commentators were impressed with his swift performance!

I can't believe I actually wasted my time staying up to watch the game when knowing that I have school later but not to worry. It is my own fault as well. I'd better go to sleep now.

Hanging by a thread.

Today is probably one of the best days in my entire life. Muhyi called us over to his house in Kg Luagan Dudok, Tutong. Syazana and her friends were there too! Azrin told me that she couldn't make it because she had no transport - he was mistaken.

The room was a little bit dark but not until I laid my eyes on an angel who suddenly brightened up the room. In a way of saying this, I think that she looked wonderful. The food was great! Muhyi's sister cooked seafood carbonara. It was delicious. Some of the guys even went for another round!

I was sitting quietly, hoping for something to happen between me and Syazana. The so-called "cupid", Tayib, said that I wanted to take pictures with her. I could see that her friends were whispering among each other, looking at our side strangely. I felt shy. I have no idea why I get so shy whenever I am around Syazana. Eventually, we both got up and agreed to take pictures. The first shot was awkward. She didn't like the picture so therefore, she deleted it. We then took two other shots - us standing up and another of us sitting down. She went home not long after that. It was nice seeing you!

After they went home, Muhyi mentioned that he has a guitar. I thought to myself, "Why didn't he take it out in the first place when Syazana was still there?"

It would've added much more awkward romantic moments, won't it? Hehehe. We went up to his room and started jamming to our very own composed songs, 'Cinta Bagai Bintang' and 'Pandangan Pertama'. Not long in the night, Muhyi called us down to favour the guests downstairs with a little entertainment of our own. We, Aisle Of Before, introduced ourselves and played 'Pandangan Pertama' first. They liked it! - but not as much as our next song 'Cinta Bagai Bintang'. Muhyi's dad wanted to listen to the first song so we gave it another shot. He praised us young lads for composing such a nice song. He was even tapping his foot to the rhythm! After the gig, we were so proud of ourselves that we performed without hesitation. We consider this as our first ever practical gig. Thanks to all who were with me today. I hope you enjoyed your day as much as I did!

Gotta work harder!

Happy 14th Birthday Aliyah Harith!
I have not met you for quite a long time now. Hope you're doing well and read this greeting. May Allah bless you. Have a wonderful day!

Anyway, I received most of my papers back today and the marks are quite depressing except for English. When my class teacher was giving out the Malay papers, I was half expecting a credit for it but unfortunately I only got a pass. At least I didn't fail. Here are the results;

English: 62%
Combined Science: 30%
Bahasa Melayu: 47%
Mathematics: ??%

What about Math? She hasn't give us back the papers yet. We're still going through the corrections. Screw Math!
