Kenapa?

Dalam blog ni, aku banyak post dalam bahasa inggeris (siapa yang baca semua atau hampir semua mesti perasan). Kenapa? Bukan sebab aku nak menunjuk aku ni pandai atau bijak sangat berbahasa inggeris. Padahal aku rasa tahap aku dalam bahasa antarabangsa ni masih lagi dalam peringkat sederhana.

Perbendaharaan kata aku bukannya banyak sangat (aku rasa terlampau sedikit nak banding dengan jumlah semua perkataan yang wujud, tak sampai 1% pun agaknya). Tatabahasa pun acapkali salah bila buat ayat (perkara biasa). Struktur ayat kadang-kadang tunggang-langgang (menjadi pelik dan susah nak difahami). Pendek cerita, ada banyak lagi yang perlu aku belajar. Dan lebih banyak lagi usaha yang perlu aku berikan.

Berbalik pada persoalan asal. Kenapa?

Sebab aku rasa lebih senang nak keluarkan kata-kata kesat dalam bahasa inggeris. Sekian.

Simon's Cat

Whenever I'm surfing the internet, one of my must do routine is exploring the videos on YouTube. I would click on random videos and from there I'll go with the flow to wherever the site takes me. Sometimes, I'll stumble upon great videos and I'll instantly subscribe that particular user (I'm very fastidious when I'm subscribing to someone which means if I did, the videos are really to my liking).

Among the tons of videos that I found, this is one of my favourite because it has one of my most adored being on earth in it. The videos are a non-related short film series called Simon's Cat. It features a cat belonged to an owner named Simon, thus the title. The cat is very adorable and I really like how the cat sounded in the series. I found this short masterpiece a few years back and still loving it until today.

The creator of this video, draws the series himself with a small team and post the videos on YouTube within a few months interval. What makes the series well-liked by others is how the cat portrayed in these videos are very similar to how a real life cat would act with a little bit of twist in each videos. It's not like today's other videos where the cat are made to be human-like.

Below is one of the Simon's Cat video that I'm very fond of. Enjoy!

Every single time that I watch this, it soothes my heart. Makes me want to have a pet cat. One last thing, this is for my friend whom is on a cat craze right now. I hope you would come to like it as much as I do.

Not So Short Review: The Twilight Saga Breaking Dawn Part 2

Apparently this is not my review because I haven't had chance to watch it (yeah again), but I find a complete review for it. Read if you haven't watch it (like me!)

Read it only if you're interested. I don't want you to start bashing on the movie just because you don't like it. Team Edward!  =P

She’s earned it – and, let’s face it, so have we. Having moped and Goth’d her way through three instalments of the Twilight saga, trying to choose between two mutant swains – sensitive vampire Edward (Robert Pattinson) or shirtless wolf-boy Jacob (Taylor Lautner) – then sunk into outright masochism in Breaking Dawn, Part 1, where love-making turned her into a mass of bruises and her unborn baby nearly tore out her innards, Bella (Kristen Stewart) finally gets empowered in the fifth (and last) chapter, The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn, Part 2. Or, as they should’ve called it, ‘The Twilight Saga: I Am Woman, Hear Me Roar’.

Bella’s now a vampire – and not just a vampire, but the strongest vampire in the house. She proves the point by arm-wrestling macho blood-sucker Emmett, then pulverises a rock with her bare hands – just for fun! She goes hunting, and barely restrains herself from feeding on a hapless rock-climber (she compromises on a mountain lion). She’s stronger than Edward, her husband, who’s now little more than a decorative presence; his main role is to stand back and grin crookedly at her awesomeness, and of course offer himself for endless sex. Jacob has it even worse, his mere smell now odious to the undead Bella. All he can do is hang out on the sofa and watch as Bella raises weird little Renesmee, her child with Edward – but first he gets beaten up by his erstwhile beloved for calling the child ‘Nessie’ (“You nicknamed my daughter after the Loch Ness monster!”) and also having “imprinted” on her, described by disgusted Bella as “some erotic wolfy thing”. That’s right folks, an “erotic wolfy thing” on a newborn baby. You bad dog! 

Actually, the “imprinting” is almost irrelevant. One might wonder why the franchise makes such a big deal of this (it was the cliffhanger twist in Breaking Dawn, Part 1) when all it really means is that Jacob is devoted to the child, and willing to stay for her sake; it’s really just a way of keeping him around after Bella makes her choice of suitor. Nothing is done with it, nor is Jacob much of a character anymore – his only function is to act as a getaway wolf in the final battle, on which more later.

That’s not the only thing one might wonder about in this flimsy movie (I assume the book made more sense). Trouble starts when another vampire glimpses Renesmee from a distance and thinks she’s an “immortal child”, duly informing the Volturi who decide to wipe out Edward and his family – but it’s not clear why this random vampire thinks Renesmee is immortal, or why the Volturi accept her opinion without any proof. Much of the film is then taken up with Edward’s clan seeking “witnesses” from all over the world (including a pair of old-school Transylvanian vampires) who’ll testify to Renesmee’s true nature. It’s not clear why this testimony will make any difference, or why they don’t just call up the vampire who made the initial accusation. Alas, the Volturi are adamant, and it all ends in a battle where it transpires the way to kill a vampire is to tear off his/her head, then set fire to the headless body. It’s not clear why you have to burn the torso after cutting off the head. Will the head magically jump back on? If so, does it ever attach itself backwards, so you get vampires shuffling around with their heads pointing in the wrong direction?

The battle itself is cool, however, black-clad figures in the snow à la 30 Days of Night, vampires and werewolves intent on tearing each other’s heads off (the violence is intense, albeit bloodless). “Yo-o-oung Bel-la, immortality becomes you,” purrs Michael Sheen as the chief Volturi, then gives an alarming high-pitched giggle. Fun stuff happens on the sidelines: vampires tell war stories, while Edward thanks his mentor Carlisle for “this extraordinary life”. Yet it must be said, again, that the plotting is flimsy. Renesmee isn’t really immortal, say Bella and her crew. Yes, you’re right, this has all been a big misunderstanding, reply the Volturi – but never mind, we’ll kill you anyway. Maybe it worked better in the book.

And what of Bella’s wonderful empowerment? Does she lead the troops in battle, taking control of her destiny? Well, not really. Every vampire has some kind of special power, and Bella’s power (it turns out) is to be a “shield”. She’s a good shield, emitting a force-field that blocks other vampires’ weapons, and she uses her powers to defend herself and others. So much for Bella the take-charge tomboy! 

No surprise that the change in our heroine is short-lived: every franchise has a guiding sensibility – and Twilight is a franchise built on fear, specifically fear of sex. Bella and Edward have been ‘shields’ from the very beginning, passive-aggressively blocking each other’s urges (the first three instalments prized “self-control”, then the fourth one revealed sex as painful and bruising). These characters have always been repressed – but maybe their daughter Renesmee will be different in future episodes, which you just know are in the pipeline. “She’s going to be around for a long time, isn’t she?” asks Jacob at the end. “A very long time,” comes the ominous reply. That’s why they call it a saga.

Yeah, yeah. I know it's damn long. But you have been warned.

Short Review: Skyfall

This is a review of the latest sequel of James Bond series which actually never had chance to watch it yet I find it very exciting by just reading other people's review. So here's a bit of sharing and caring, enjoy ;)

Source: screenrant

Skyfall, the latest installment in the long-running saga based on Ian Fleming’s James Bond character, forces the British action-hero to dig into his own past if he intends to overcome a dangerous new foe. Director Sam Mendes (American Beauty and Jarhead) ditches the inter-connected “Quantum” narrative of the last two Bond films, Casino Royale and Quantum of Solace, in favor of an entirely new storyline that plays on larger connections to the overarching character canon and sets the stage for a more “refined” version of 007.

Skyfall‘s few shortcomings are not enough to derail enjoyment of the film. Scene to scene, moment to moment, the movie offers one of the richest and most interesting Bond adventures – even if the core premise isn’t quite as sharp as the various characters scrambling around the screen. For every awkward misstep in Skyfall, Mendes provides several standout moments – resulting in an especially entertaining and provocative 007 adventure.

Another interesting thing I find about Skyfall is the soundtrack, powerfully sung by Adele. Here's a video for you :)

Toy Story 3

This movie is an animation movie that really put a smile on my face when I watch it. It's a movie suitable for the whole family to watch together. Here are a few videos related to the movie series that features one of the character in Toy Story 3, Ken. It's suitable for all the bachelors out there.

The fourth installment is scheduled to be released in 2015. Waiting patiently but eagerly on the movie.

Favourite Movie: Rush Hour

The Rush Hour film series is a series of Hong Kong-American martial arts, action and comedy movie starring Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker. The main plot centers around a pair of police detectives: a Hong Kong police inspector and an American LAPD detective who go on a series of misadventures often involving corrupt crime figures. So far, there has been three installments of the movies with the last one released on 2006.

The movie is seriously hilarious and made me laugh throughout the whole series. The film series are not really suitable for children though with some obscenity during the whole three movies but it's just a small bit here and there (no worries).

Below is one of my favourite scene that came from Rush Hour 3. Enjoy!

Favourite Movie: Avengers

This movie was released earlier this year and it has been one of my favorite movie ever since the first time I watched it. I still remember the first time I watched the movie in the cinema. My whole body was trembling in excitement and my heart was thumping from the thrill of watching the movie. It's just so damn good. I totally fell in love with the movie.

The movie first started with Loki obtaining the Tesseract from the S.H.I.E.L.D organization to use it for the sake of his ambition of conquering planet earth using the Chitauri army. Then, to retrieve the Tesseract back from Loki, the director of S.H.I.E.L.D, Nick Fury, decided to gather a team of superheroes consisting of The Hulk, Thor, Captain America and Iron Man(my most favorite. But these people doesn't get along with each other which create difficulties at first to fend off Loki's attack. But like all superheroes movies, they definitely get through all the hurdles that lies oh their path and eventually save the planet at the end of the day.

I really like this movie a lot. Well, not only because Robert Downey, Jr. is one of it's cast, but the movie as a whole is very well made. Even though the plot are somewhat very typical like other Hollywood movie, I just simply like it. I also like the humor inserted in this movie and I just laugh so hard whenever it's a funny scene. The most memorable scene would have to be when The Hulk easily flipped Loki side to side smashing him on the ground. That was super hilarious as I never saw that coming.

If you haven't watch this movie, I advice you to do so. It's a very entertaining watch for me. Lastly, Robert Downey, Jr. FTW!

Addicted

Recently, my family just got an ipad. And let me tell you, I'm crazy about playing the ipad's games. Therefore I'm currently having an ipad games craze. But' it's not just me, but this craze has infected my whole siblings. We can't seem to turn away from the merely sight of an ipad.

Even though I said I'm playing games, I never let myself to be playing games made for children and babies. To give you the most perfect example, I don't play games like Angry Bird. Period. Those kind of games just don't bring me any sense of fulfillment as playing it mostly rely on your luck rather than testing your skills.

Seriously, I'm getting hooked at all sorts of games and playing them non-stop while I really should be studying for my final exam. I even fought with my younger brother to get my turn to play the games (our fighting doesn't involve any sorts of violence).

This is not my first experience getting addicted on playing games. The same thing happened when we got ourselves a PSP. The whole family is crazy about it ( with the exception of my parents, of course). Especially on the car racing game, Need For Speed. We would compete with each other to see whose the best among us. Not to brag about it, but it's always me.

Like that time, this addiction to will fade over time. By next year, I probably wouldn't be so involved with it as I am now. That's just how things are with people like me. It's in the nature of being human.

Sakit!?

Sekarang ni aku rasa macam nak demam (macam, bukannya dah). Tekak dah mula sakit. Lepas tu, batuk-batuk sampai sakit paru-paru aku. Kepala dah rasa tak berapa nak betul dan berdenyut-denyut bak irama k-pop. Mood pulak MEMANG TAK BAIK. Ada saja benda yang tak kena menyebabkan kesabaran aku (yang sememangnya tak berapa nak tebal dan kukuh sangat) teruji. Mata rasa berat yang teramat nak bukak. Lagi satu, aku lenguh dan sengal satu badan, lebih-lebih lagi kat kawasan tulang belakang aku.

Bila aku dah sakit ni, satu perkara yang paling aku tak suka sangat (nak stress kat situ betapa aku tak suka sampai tatabahasa pun salah, tahu yang mana?). Perkara yang paling aku tak suka ialah bila orang mengacau aku. Kacau yang macam mana? Semua jenis kacau! Tapi yang paling aku menyampah sekali ialah bila orang ajak bercakap atau tanya aku sesuatu. Satu gejala yang aku hidapi bila aku tengah sakit ialah AKU TAK NAK BERSUARA. Bermakna aku memang 100% senyap.

Jadi, bila aku tengah sakit, kalau orang bercakap atau tanya aku sesuatu, apa aku buat? Aku buat bodoh sajalah! Aku memang malas sangat nak layan orang bila aku sakit ni. Aku kalau sakit, bukan sakit pada fizikal saja, bahkan segalanya pun aku sakit termasuklah sakit jiwa dan sakit mental (memang parah betullah aku ni).

Lepas tu, satu benda lagi yang aku buat bila aku sakit, aku 'menjeling' kat orang. Aku ada cakap tadi, eh, taip tadi kat atas yang mata aku rasa macam nak tertutup. Jadi, aku punya mata cuma terbuka dengan keluasan yang amat minimum, ini membuatkan apabila aku pandang orang, macam aku tengah menjeling. Tak cukup dengan jeling tu lagi, ditambah dengan muka aku yang masam mencuka sebab mood aku yang jahanam ni (aku tengok orang macam nak gaduh pulak).

Tuntasnya, janganlah berada dalam kawasan perimeter sekeliling aku bila aku tengah sakit ni. Sebabnya, akhir sekali engkau pulak yang sakit hati (rasa macam nak tumbuk muka aku pulak nanti).

The good old times

I really missed those days. How everyday was something to look forward to and life was never too complicated. For me, my childhood is full of fun and laughter, sometimes even tears (when I can't get what I want and the same goes for you, don't deny it, everybody's the same).

All the games that we played might have seem ridiculous and to certain point even absurd on a grown up's point of view. But today, how I wish for the days that I can freely play all those games without having to worry about what's coming tomorrow.

And of course, play them together with my friends. Together, they're the ones that made all the games that we ever played so much more enjoyable.

One word that comes to mind after watching this video, NOSTALGIC. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do. And at the same time, feel the same as what I'm feeling when watching the video play and also the feeling you get after you finish.

Mengantuk!

Sekarang ni, aku sangat senang untuk mengantuk. Bila dah mengantuk, mulalah tanda-tanda yang berkaitan muncul satu persatu.

Mula-mula, proses aku bila dah mengantuk gila...

mesti menguap sampai regang habis otot-otot muka

lepas tu mata macam tergedik-gedik nak tutup

kemudian tangan kat dagu menjadi tongkat

sesudahnya kepala pulak buat tarian 360 darjah

bila kepala dah berat dan leher dah jadi lalang, BAM!

Macam tu la aku kalau dalam kelas dan aku pulak mengantuk tahap gaban sampai dah tak boleh tahan lagi. Lebih tragis lagi keadaan aku bila kelas tu pulak sememangnya mempunyai ciri-ciri seperti ubat batuk. Beberapa minit selepas diambil, rasa mengantuk akan hinggap pada diri anda dan anda hanya boleh bertahan serta SABAR SAJALAH.

kalau mengantuk aku tu dah tragis sangat

Pisang berbuah dua kali?

Tadi aku baru selesai perjumpaan pertama krew KAPREZA. Bila difikirkan balik, ada persamaan macam satu acara yang pernah aku sertai pada satu masa yang lampau (aku tak nak bagitahu, oh, kenangan buruk).

Pendek cerita, acara tu aku tak pikul tanggungjawab yang diberikan dengan sepenuhnya. Maksud aku, aku buat kerja separuh jalan. Sampai satu tahap, aku berhenti beri kerjasama (teruk betul aku ni, tak patut betul).

Tapi rasa bersalah tetap bersarang dalam diri aku. Masakan tak bila orang dah beri kepercayaan kat kau, lepas tu senang kacang lenggang kangkung pulak tinggalkan tanpa sebarang notis (akulah tu orangnya, cis!).

Lepas tu, mengelak (kahkahkah XD). Lawak sungguh bila aku fikirkan pasal benda ni dan kesannya pada diri aku sendiri. Itulah pasal. Orang dah cakap, sarang tebuan jangan dijolok, kau jolok jugak (padan muka hang sekarang). Eh, apa kaitannya?

Harapan untuk acara kali agar dapat beri sepenuh komitmen, tangggungjawab dan kerjasama sampai penghujung. Taklah rasa menyesal tak sesudahnya nanti bila nasi dah jadi bubur. Janganlah ini hanya tinggal sebagai harapan dan omong kosong saja (tolonglah!).

Less

I’m feeling hopeless,

The things that I do felt useless,

To the point it’s meaningless,

Everything’s just pointless.

As all of it are fruitless,

Leaving me feeling clueless,

Maybe because I’m being thoughtless,

It made my values worthless.

Clearly I’m always careless,

Doing things with such reckless,

Almost every advice is heedless,

But I am never tactless.

To find in this life what is priceless,

Where I wish to do it fearless,

While enjoying it too nonetheless,

Giving it my best and no less.

What's popular?

In recent days, I've only ever heard of the same few things. And in my own self opinion and life’s philosophy (oh yeah, I had those as I’m quite the my own pace kind of girl), if I know something about it and have repeatedly encountered, watched or heard about it, I consider that topic are in trend and popular nowadays. It’s the same with the other way around. If I've never heard of something or that is my first time learning about it, then it’s easy, that topic is outdated, unpopular or even non-existent to me.

Things, stuffs or topic that I can relate to this self-opinion and life’s philosophy of mine are people (the most common), news, event, music, etc. The list goes on. These are several things that I find to be popular and most talked about lately;

• Harimau Malaya
• Politics
• Kahwin
• Everything Korea
• Twitter
• Shout Award 
• Aaron Aziz??? 

Those are a few things that I kept on hearing these past few days. To make it clear, I’m not that well diverse on what issues are going on in Malaysia. Don’t get me wrong here. It’s not that I hate our country or am not proud to be its citizen. I’m just too lazy to give damn about it. So, if I do know of a certain issue or topic, I consider it to be the talk of the town of that period.

It’s funny how I said that being the only reason I do know of these stuffs is because the people around are the one telling me about it (I seldom read newspapers or watch news).

Microsoft Access

Now, it’s official! I hate Access and Access hates me. I just can’t seem to get how the damn thing worked. Well, I do know how to insert the data and that’s it! And that doesn't even count as mastering the basics of Access because even a child can do it. I've tried several times to learn the tutorial or seek help from the application’s help wizard itself but after several minutes into it, my mind start to blur as my vision goes hazy.

I really am so bad in this. It’s like immediately after opening Access with the spirit to accomplish and achieved success in mastering the basics (at least), my soul was almost sucked into the computer to a realm unknown to man. This got me pretty frustrated as I don’t like the idea that I’m somewhat incapable of conquering it.

But it’s actually crucial that I know the way of using it being the reason that I have to do a PRESENTATION about it. And to make it worse, the presentation is next week, ladies and gentlemen. Just thinking about it made me lose my appetite. Therefore, it’s better if I don’t think about it. NO! I have to! The presentation is next week (wailing). Dear God, give me strength.

One more thing, Sir Azzwan, please be kind to me during the fateful judgment day. I’m trying and still learning.

Losing my way?

Tomorrow night will mark the start of my first mid-term examination for the first semester of my first year in UKM. As it would be my first exam ever during my time here, I don’t know how it is going to be. I can’t even begin to imagine what it’s going to be like and I’m scared for myself as I will be facing the unknown. Even though the situation is like that, I definitely can’t say that I have thoroughly prepared to take the exam. Why? Well, obviously it’s because I DIDN’T EVEN FREAKING STUDY YET!

NO...!

This made me wonder what the hell I have been doing all this time. By studying, what I meant was that you would be seated properly with (mountain of) books in front of you and be able to do so for several hours non-stop while concentrating hard on the content of each book and then practicing what you have revised to gauge your own understanding of the knowledge. And that ladies and gentlemen, is what I can’t seem to do for my upcoming exam.

Must...study.....

All I’m capable of doing is rearrange my books so it would look neat while I’m studying (supposedly) and take out my stationary to help me in my (unbearable and tough) journey called studying. But that only lasts for at most 30 minutes. Yeah, I’m pathetic (or even worse). I just can’t seem to sum up enough concentration to study until the end and I would just give up midway of doing it. It’s either I would get distracted by something totally unrelated to the subject or I’ll start daydreaming. What is wrong with me?

All this complaining, sighing and wondering won’t get me anywhere. That much I am aware of. Some of you might even said to yourself or thinking that ‘if you have time to be posting on this blog than you might just as well go study for your exam’. But I just can’t, OKAY! I AM AGONIZING OVER THIS PART OF MYSELF TOO! My heart would start beating out of rhythm and my feeling would get anxious whenever I think about it.

Thus, my last options are remembering my parents and turning to the Almighty God. People said that whenever you are facing difficulties dealing with yourself, just remember what your parents will be feeling from the result of your doing. This works for me sometimes and it especially get to me whenever I start thinking of my mother (she’s a queen in my heart).  She has sacrificed so much in her life for the better of her children and for that reason I am greatly indebted and grateful towards her.

Love you, Mom <3

And then, when all else fail, like any other muslim in this world, I raised my hand and prayed to Allah. I sincerely wish that I would be rewarded with your vast and precious knowledge of this world and for me to achieve that, I beg to You, the one and only, give me the strength to continue on this road I have chosen in order to pursue Your knowledge. Amin.

HORROR!

I wish to make a statement here. I, Nur Amalina Binti Raja Mustapha Kamal, in my conscious and right mind vow to never ever in the history of my life, the past, present and in the future, would be posting anything that have the slightest hint to be related to horror. That I promised and will kept to it earnestly.

Yeah, I admit it! I'm a scaredy cat. I shiver from even thinking about it. Let alone hearing, seeing or worse, watching a full length movie about it. I'll faint (seriously). I've only ever watch one movie about it and let me tell you, I TERRIBLY REGRET IT! I can never imagine myself doing the same thing yet again. I've thoroughly repented for my past mistake.

It prevents me from ever having a good night sleep and even closing my eyes! Can you believe that? I'll never again have anything to do with horror even out of my own enormous curiosity. It's just as the saying goes, curiosity kill the cat. And in my case, it has killed me countless times (I have a very high curiosity). So, don't expect me to post about a horror movie, ever, okay? (I'll consider you said yes)

One last thing, since it's the occasion, Happy Halloween. Trick or treat? :P

Recent Watched Movies : Ice Age 4

Just recently, I've just finished watching Ice Age 4: Continental Drift. I know the movie has been out for quite some time now but I just can't find the chance to actually watch it and now I'm glad I finally decided to watch the movie. This movie is the 4th installment of the popular movie series. The movie focuses on the story of three male characters (they're prehistoric animals) as they take on unpredictable challenges and face all kinds of hurdles that come rushing in their way during the ice age period.



The poster

For the 4th sequel, the movie tells the story of how the three male lead, Manny the mammoth, Diego the saber tooth and Sid the sloth, are separated from the rest of their pack including Manny's mate, Ellie and his daughter, Peaches. The cause of this separation would be the movement of the earth's continent to how it is now today and the fault of the mishap this time is no different from the rest of the ice age movies. It is by none other than Scrat the squirrel. His continuous hunt for a single nut has caused the single united continent to break apart and drift away from one another.

The main characters

When Manny,  Diego and Sid are on the journey to return to their pack at the promised place, they encounter a group of pirate that tries to stop them from ever achieving their goal. Together with Sid's grandma, that somehow got stuck with the trio after being abandoned by Sid's family, they fight their way through all sorts of setbacks to finally be reunited with their pack.

For those who never watch the movie series, I recommend you guys to watch it as it's a fun and fresh series.

Untuk post kali ini, aku ingin menyampaikan ucapan terima kasih kepada beberapa orang yang telah merubah hidupku.

Pertama sekali, terima kasih buat ibuku yang telah memberikan sumbangan paling besar bagiku merealisasikan impian yang telah lama bercambah di dalam hati sanubari diri ini. Terima kasih kerana sanggup membuat pengorbanan dari segi kewangan, masa, tenaga dan yang paling utama sekali perasaanmu sendiri demi melayan kerenah anakmu yang kadangkala perit untuk ditelan (rasanya bukan kadangkala tapi seringkali). Terima kasih, ibu.

Yang kedua, terima kasih buat adikku yang mahu mengikuti kehendak kakakmu ini. Terima kasih kerana telah bersama-sama denganku di sepanjang jalan ini berkongsi kegembiraan dan menjadikan hari itu berlipat ganda lebih baik lagi walaupun pada mulanya dikau enggan tetapi demi kakakmu ini tetap digagahkan jua dirimu menuruti permintaanku. Terima kasih, adik.

Yang ketiga, terima kasih buat sahabatku yang acapkali menjadi tempatku menceritakan segala yang berkaitan dengannya. Terima kasih kerana sudi untuk menjadi tempat aku meluahkan apa yang terpendam dihati dan bergelak tawa bersamaku tatkala aku mula berceloteh mengenai obsesiku. Terima kasih, sahabat.

Yang terakhir sekali tetapi yang paling penting, terima kasih buat kalian berlima. Terima kasih kerana sanggup datang ke sini untuk menggembirakan bukan sahaja aku bahkan beribu yang lain. Terima kasih kerana memberikan yang terbaik untuk hari itu walaupun cuaca tidak menyebelahi kita tetapi kau teruskan jua demi aku dan yang lain. Aku akan berpegang pada janjimu bahawa kalian semua akan kembali semula ke sini tidak lama lagi. Walau apa pun, terima kasih.

I'm finally going!

Oh my god! This is so exciting. It is finally tomorrow! I could only start to feel the over excitement and the joyfulness of what's coming this evening when finally the matter that have been weighing on my mind recently had finally been lifted. And all those feelings are full to the brim. Argh! Finally!

It's tomorrow and the time now is 1 o'clock in the morning. This means that it's not even tomorrow anymore but today! I can't sleep at all and not even feeling the slightest bit of drowsy. I can't believe that from the time that I knew of the event and then decided to go, using all means necessary to be there and now the day has ultimately arrived.

I'm sure those who are reading this doesn't have the tiniest clue what I'm blabbering in this post. Well, the thing is I'm not going to tell. I'm sorry (should I be?). But for those who do get what all this is related about, keep it to yourself.

After all this is finish and done with, I can immediately commence operation sweet revenge (we're in this together right, Izzah?). Just you wait for it and I'll make you feel sorry for tricking me and scaring the hell out of me. Well, even though you won't know what you've done but I'm still mad about it and that's final. You will pay for it!

So now, all that's left to do is wait patiently and don't go crazy before the time is here. It's less than 20 hours away. Unleash all that madness there for everyone will do the same. Counting the hours remaining by myself together with 16,000 people.

Ideas

My blog's theme was supposed to be related to 'movies'. But so far, I only have one post that discussed that topic. It's not that I'm taking this task (updating the blog) lightly or anything. It's that I just can't seem to prioritize which is supposed to be first and then which that follows.

I have so many ideas in my head that I want to put up in this blog that is actually related to movies. But it seems that all those ideas in my head are just staying there. There are so many until I can't sort it out as there are a lot of things that I want to post about movies (since I like watching movies). I don't know how to arrange it nicely to be type in words so that the end result should be satisfying (that should be the lowest rating for any of my posts).

Because of that reason, I have a lot of posts that are still in draft forms which are still incomplete (it's either halfway done or just barely started). When the initiation is sparked and the motivation is running, I'll immediately put it to work but then, when the idea stops, the writing process can't seem to have any progress (it's stuck). Then I guess, the fault is in me so I'll work hard to get pass this hurdle.

Seriously!?

I found this by accident. Then, I thought I'll share it in my blog. Enjoy!

Telling the truth

It is so hard to tell the truth when we know it'll be an unpleasant thing to be accepted by the other party. When we already know or roughly guess how the other party's reaction going to be when we deliver the news (or the truth that we are keeping to ourselves), the strength to do it just seem to fade and the anxiety, on the other hand, just keep building inside us. It's like when we finally gather up enough courage to tell the truth, and when we are on the verge of doing it, the fear in our mind totally swallowed the courage in our heart. Then, the will to continue what we had planned withered away just like that.

I've faced this kind of situation many times in my life. This happens especially towards someone that we highly respect (or feared as a matter of fact) for various reasons or someone we hold dear and cherish in our lives. The cause of such situation happening depend on this factor. It's because we are scared. It's either we are scared for our own sake of getting hurt or we are scared for the sake of the other party getting hurt by the truth that we are about to bring to them.

Gathering enough courage and determination is never an easy thing to do. The way I overcome that obstacle is through consulting the matter with someone. It must be someone that we have a deep trust and someone that will continue to encourage us during tough times and not bring us down nor abandon us. Having someone by our side no matter the consequences can become huge source of encouragement for us to do something (or in this case, telling the truth) because we know no matter what happen, that person will always stick together with us.

You may think that this type of person is a coward. But I disagree. The real coward is someone who refuses to tell the truth until the end and the truth are only kept to themselves even though by not telling it may trouble the other party. That is my opinion of who the real coward is. You may also say that this kind of thinking are just too ambiguous for someone like me but this is my human right and the right of freedom of speech. Which means I can believe and say whatever I want as long as it does not breach any constitutional law and the law of my religion (if you don't like that than screw you).

I hope by posting this will give me some sort of encouragement to tell the truth. To those whom have read this (if there are any at all), may you find your own source of encouragement to help you get through the challenges and hardships in life.

Sakit kepala

Kalau aku tak terangkan pun, orang yang baca tajuk post di atas tu boleh tahu isi yang aku nak tulis dalam selebih post ni. Jadi, aku SAKIT KEPALA (tak nak letak tanda seru sebab nanti bertambah sakit kepala aku, konon!).

Sebab aku sakit kepala? Eh, banyak sebabnya dan sebab-sebab tu bukannya remeh temeh. Antaranya:

1. Program - Aku libatkan diri dalam program English Zone (kolej) serta Pesta Konvokesyen UKM ke-40 (pusat) dan kedua-dua progam ni berlangsung pada hari yang sama, tempoh yang sama dan tamat pada hari yang sama. Kedua-dua program ni pulak memerlukan komitmen yang sangat tinggi dari ahli-ahlinya yang menyebabkan kalau aku pergi program English Zone aku kena korbankan program Pesta Konvokesyen dan begitu juga sebaliknya. Disebabkan kerumitan ni, bermulalah kepala aku berserabut memikirkan aku ni dah terjerumus dalam lubang gelap jenis apa (padahal aku sendiri yang sengaja cari nahas libatkan diri dengan dua program pada satu-satu masa tapi aku tak tahu pun masa awal-awal mendaftar dulu).
2. Tidur - Macam yang aku tulis kat atas, aku ni melibatkan diri dengan program yang boleh membantu aku menambahkan jam kredit, maka komitmen yang perlu aku berikan adalah sepenuhnya sebagai ahli yang terlibat secara langsung dalam menjayakan program berkenaan. Bila hari program semakin hampir, waktu tidur aku pula semakin luput. Ini bermakna, aku kekurangan tidur yang optimum (tu tak campur lagi waktu tidur lebihan yang aku lepaskan).
3. Internet - Pasal yang ni tak perlulah aku jelaskan panjang-panjang sebab aku dah tulis satu post pun menceritakan pasal benda alah ni (malas nak ulang banyak kali sebab buat aku bertambah sakit otak).
4. Kuiz - Sebelum aku mula menaip untuk post ni, aku baru siapkan dua kuiz akaun. Inilah faktor utama yang membuatkan kepala aku makin berdenyut-denyut. Aku duduk termenung menghadap komputer riba aku dua jam lima belas minit secara berterusan sebab nak siapkan kuiz tu punya pasal. Tarikh akhir kedua-dua kuiz tu malam ni, jadi hendak atau tidak aku kena buat malam ni jugak (aku bukannya nak sangat buat kerja saat-saat akhir tapi menyiapkan kuiz tu menggunakan internet, jadi kena tunggu aku balik baru boleh siapkan dan sebab aku balik baru nak buat tu perlu ke aku terangkan lagi?).

Di atas merupakan antara penyebab dan punca aku mendapat sakit kepala. Aku bukannya menyalahkan orang lain atau meletakkan kesalahan tu pada sebab-sebab yang aku nyatakan. Sebab semua yang berlaku itu terjadi adalah kerana itulah rantaian atau suratan takdir (cewah! nak bermadah pulak aku malam-malam ni). Apa yang kita lakukan pada masa lampau akan memberi kesan pada apa yang bakal terjadi di masa hadapan. Macam itulah yang berlaku pada aku sekarang. Disebabkan keputusan aku nak lakukan sesuatu di masa lepas membuatkan aku sakit kepala di masa kini.

Aku berhenti setakat ini dahulu. Bunyi aku menaip keletak-keletuk macam seiring dengan denyutan sakit kepala aku ni. Makin menjadi-jadi pulak nanti. Hanya satu sahaja yang aku harapkan iaitu supaya sakit kepala aku tidaklah melarat menjadi lebih parah serta segeralah ia sembuh. Penyelesaian aku untuk sakit kepala ni? (oh tidak! bukan makan ubat) Makan McDonald dan diikuti dengan tidur yang nyenyak. Sekian.

Connection D=

This is my story with 'connection'. What is this connection you may ask. Well, you have to read the rest of this story to find out what has happen between me and connection in the past and during present time (just a reminder that it's not a love story).

Thus, the story begins. I got my current laptop during my matriculation year on the first semester in the midst of year 2011 (which means my laptop is over a year old now). I really cherished this laptop as it is my first and also it's a gift from my dad and even though it's a gift, I got to pick which laptop I want for myself (yay, lucky!). To me, it's perfect when I received it and tested it out for the first time. Then, when I bring it to my college (I'm a graduate from Perlis Matriculation College), it turned out that this laptop can't connect with the wi-fi provided for free by the college administration.

The solution at that time was, to buy me a broadband service (I'm at a bliss), simple as that. The broadband provided me with a high speed internet connection that I can't get using the college's wi-fi. There's nothing to complain about (except a few times when it refuse to serve me and I get seriously mad). I practically used it all the time for personal and academic use as it is small in size which made it easy to carry around.

The broadband has served me all year round (I'm grateful to it and also to my dad for paying the bill) and when it's about time that I went to UKM for the registration day, something ominous occurred to me (not exactly). It went like this.  When I was handing the dirty laundry to my mom as she was asking if I had any to be washed (she always did it for me and that's one of the many reasons why I love her so much), I would never imagined that it could cost me my treasured broadband.

It never occurred for me to check if I had anything that I left in my clothes as it would be customary for mom to do it instead. But somehow that day, it slipped her mind to check through my clothes before washing it. To my mom's surprise, there's my broadband modem in the pocket of one of my clothes and it was washed together with the laundry. As my mom took out the broadband modem from the cloth, the water was dripping all over from it.

The broadband modem was soaked in the water mixed with detergent (that actually made it smells really nice but that didn't delight me at all). When my mom told me about it, I completely fell into a state of silent (probably because I don't know how to react or I was just too shocked). My mom apologized to me immediately but I didn't respond to her as if I was angry and blaming her for the incident. I took the modem and dried it right away using various ways I could think of that time (I even open the modem casing to dry the inside).

Then, when I tested the broadband on my laptop to see if it's still working, and it only just confirmed my worst thought. The modem can't even be detected in my laptop and I just frowned at my laptop like all hope is lost (but I didn't cry). While staring blankly, my mind went into deep thought. All of this happened without anyone intending it to turn out this way and it's an accident, I thought to myself. I shouldn't have made it as if it was my mom's fault (I regret thinking that way and felt sorry towards her). If anyone is to be blame for this, that would be me for being careless.

After that, my dad was informed of the incident and I thought he's going to reprimand me because of what happened. However, the exact opposite happened and he even replaced the non-functioning broadband modem with a brand new one (well, my mom paid for it because she still felt bad for causing it). So, all is well and no one got hurt.

The only thing that's off at that time was I didn't test the new broadband modem as I was busy preparing for my registration day at UKM (there's only one day left!). And when I eventually tested it out (I was already at UKM for more than a week), the broadband performed horribly. The signal was low (and sometimes can't even be detected) and when I did get connected, the internet speed was so slow that it made me fed up until I decided to just gave up from continuing to use it.

To make matters worse, my laptop can't seem to be wi-fi friendly at UKM either. All of these that is happening just pissed me off (yeah, I said it). Because of that, I'm facing several problems when it comes to things that need to be done using no other way but through the internet and that sucks (I said it again). For example, accessing UKM's i-folio, completing assignments, getting hold of information via Facebook, emails, and etc. And to make the point across, even updating this blog is being hindered because of the internet connection problem.

Sometimes, when I'm fired up to do something such as updating this blog so to say, all that motivation went down the drain because I can't connect to the internet. Even though I had two ways of connecting to the internet, both of them are just seemingly useless. Well, I do get connected a few times but then the connection was cut off when I'm in the middle of an important internet session (I was even answering an online quiz at one time and that had to happen). That just made me much more pissed off (said it yet again) than I already do.

Therefore, I had to go back home every weekend to enjoy unlimited, unhindered, fast high speed internet without any problem whatsoever (that's not the entire reason I went home). By the way, I used unifi internet service back home and let me tell you it's really fast (well, it's still can't compared to other west countries but it'll make do for me). That's why I'm accustomed to fast internet connection and starts whining when it's slow.

Looking back, I've already been going on for quite long (I never imagined it'd be this long). That tends to happen quite often when I'm unsatisfied with something that I can't be patient with anymore. It's not that I'm impatient or anything but all these are just too infuriating for me to just keep quiet. Do forgive me for my offensive language (if you find it offensive at all) but that's me when I'm whining or complaining.

Now you know the story of me and 'connection' which is the internet. I know everyone has encountered a similar setback but since this is my blog, I can write whatever that I want. Be it the most ridiculous thing or the most brilliant thing. It's my decision and solely mine alone. And it'll be that way forever.

It starts right now!

In my previous post, I've stated that this blog is dedicated to fulfill one of the requirements for my computer application class. For that, I've been assigned randomly with the theme of 'movies'. That means most of my posts on this blog would (probably) be related to my theme. But I'll try my best so that it meets with the standard that my lecturer, Mr. Azzwan had set prior giving out this task. As the title suggested, it starts right now!

To be honest, I watch a lot of movies when I have a free time (I have a lot of it) whether watching it in cinemas, DVDs, or my laptop through internet downloading (yes, I know it's illegal but please don't judge me as it is an easy and free alternative to get my hands on the movies). Therefore, I'm actually quite glad that I got this theme while picking out the number randomly and I've got myself the lucky number 37 (if I'm not mistaken).

And then, there's another issue that I want to address and clarify before I begin posting about movies on this blog in the near future as to avoid misunderstandings, misconception, and people mistreating my blog. So, here it is. I only watch English movies or to put it in another way, I don't watch Malay movies (yeah, go ahead and condemn me for that). Most of my life I've only ever watch or have interest in watching English movies or movies produced in Hollywood. And it is a fact that I've never once gone to the cinema to watch any Malay movies.

It's not that I didn't support our local filming industry and its people. I just feel that movies produced locally are just pure nonsense and absurd. I find that they (as in the people within the industry) just produce all those movies only for the sake of gaining revenue. You can definitely see the trend. For example, when a certain movie produced, grossed a very high revenue, you just have to wait and see before the filming industry is flooded with movies having similar genre. And then there's the quality of the movie itself which does not even need any explaining (I know I'm being very skeptical).

Even though I've said all that, I realize that not all local movies are like that. Some are very good and even had won prestigious awards. It's either I don't know of the movies or the movies are not to my preferred genre. And so, that conclude my issue with our local filming industry. I shall not go any further for I know I would be unstoppable if I wish to continue writing. That's it for now and see you soon (I hope so).

Pembuka Kata, Pemula Bicara

Percubaan 1, 2, 3.

Hai dunia blog. Ini merupakan post aku yang pertama sepanjang sejarah hidup aku di muka bumi ini sebab aku tak pernah ada blog. Inilah kali pertama aku memiliki blog di web dan menjadi seorang blogger tapi kalau 'coolblog' tu dah banyak kali aku minum sampai dah tak terkira bilangannya. Aku buat lawak yang aku sendiri rasa tak kelakar. Aku ni sebenarnya tak ada idea nak taip apa untuk blog post pertama aku ni. Jadi mulalah aku nak merepek yang bukan-bukan. Tapi aku tetap nak taip jugak!

Aku mendaftar untuk blogger ni dengan bantuan kawan aku (terima kasih Izzah!) sebab kepala otak aku memang betul-betul kosong pasal blog sebab selama ni cuma reti tengok blog orang lain. Bila dah ada blog sendiri, aku ambil masa sedikit (agak lama jugak sebenarnya sampai jadi cuak sebab takut Encik Azzwan mengamuk tengok blog aku yang langsung tiada sebarang perkembangan) nak post di blog ni dan ubahsuai blog aku supaya mengikut citarasa aku serta bertepatan dengan apa yang dikehendaki Encik Azzwan.

Kemudian, aku belajar sendiri selok belok dalam nak berblogging ni dan bagi aku bukan mudah tetapi bukanlah susah sangat. Sebabnya, aku ada tumblr yang boleh dikatakan agak sama tapi macam tak serupa dengan blog ni. Jadi aku gunakan pengetahuan aku yang tak seberapa tu dan buat-buat pandai sendiri mencuba segala macam benda dalam blog yang baru bagi aku. Tapi yang paling sakit sekali dalam nak buat blog ni adalah bila nak ubahsuai blog, sama jugak macam tumblr. Nak buat tu sahaja boleh memakan masa berjam-jam (ni bagi diri aku, orang lain aku tak tahu) sampai rasa macam nak nyanyi lagu Nirwana band pulak masa tu.

Walaupun tujuan blog ni aku buat untuk cukupkan syarat kelas aplikasi komputer, aku taklah nak uruskan blog aku ni sambil lewa. Aku teringin jugak nak orang-orang dan blogger lain yang baca post aku atau singgah tengok blog aku, syok je layan blog aku ni. Aku tak naklah masa yang aku habiskan menghadap blog aku ni sia-sia tanpa aku mendapat sebarang faedah (dalam bentuk pengetahuan) mahupun kepuasan.

Tengok! Tadi mula-mula tak tahu nak tulis apa dalam post ni. Tapi bila jari dah mula menaip, laju je idea meluncur dalam kepala menstruktur ayat untuk aku taip. Walaupun aku sendiri sedar betapa merepeknya aku dalam post ni. Kesimpulannya, aku berhenti sampai sini dulu sebelum aku pergi lebih jauh dan tak boleh nak berhenti.

Salam blogger ^__^
