Not much

Owh, i haven't updated my blog for such a long of time. So far, my life just went on normally for the last fortnight. The tonnes of homework that are given to us have actually 'caged' us and our life. Every single weeknight should be dedicated to the purpose of finishing off all the tasks given. it's a hectic life for us, actually. however, despite my 'sufferings', i have a very justifiable reason to feel grateful and happy for not having Dr Read as my english teacher. i heard from fatin, alin, and pau about the 'abundance' of homeworks, journals, etc, that should be finished every night. Their commitments to finish Dr. Read's stuff, together with the loads of other subjects have caused them to look really dull at school. poor of my friends. hope you guys will be able to cope with all these in the future. now, i've finally begun appreciate Mr. Jonathan as my english teacher. even though his jokes can be considered as nothing but 'lame' for most of the times, but he doesn't give us much tasks to be done. that's the icing of the cake. hehe...however, TOK session with him really sucks. seriously. i think that TOK is the most dreadful lesson in the whole week. Only Ahmad Syafiq looks really keen and joyful during the lesson. i really wonder how is he able to laugh at those very 'lifeless' jokes from mr Jon. I am glad to admit that Mr. Jonathan is a very nice kind of person, but he needs to diversify the way he teaches us TOK. we're extremely bored with the same method of teaching, actually.
Last weekend, i was staying with my cousins and uncle at ParkRoyal Hotel. i was so glad to gather with my cousins here, and the hotel is just across the road from Sg Wang Plaza, and we're having our retail therapy there. we're also quite busy helping my cousin Yani to get her stuff there, as she's going to register in UM on the day after that. i saw that Ranee's got her new hairstyle. wow, her hair looks really nice. Both shasha and i were not spending much, due to our several unexplainable constraints, i guess. hehe. actually, i'm in a 'Vitamin M saving mode' to cut down my expenditure, which has been escalating recently. (Vitamin M is actually MONEY!!!). I only spent nearly 30 bucks buying myself a new pencil case (ironically), and that was all. last sunday, after sleeping very late (my cousins and i were hanging out at the Bukit Bintang Area the night before), we woke up very early in the morning and sent my cousin Yani to UM for a registration process. i was given the chance to enter the girls' hostel there, and i found out that the state of the place was really pathetic. i guess the whole hostel was built and furnished during the Paleolitic Age. however, the whole university is cool, and it's full of historical values. I really hope that Yani's gonna have good time studying in UM. It's a privilege to study at of the best institutions in the whole country. Bravo, bravo...

Tomorrow, we're gonna have swimming gala, and i'm happy to come to school and socialize with my buddies for the day, but i simply hate waking up early tomorrow. Mary has asked us to go to school on the 7.10 am bus. common, i really need some sleep. i simply hate those activities on the weekend which require me to wake up damn early in the morning. i'm so done with al those exhaustion on the weekdays, and now, my only hope to hibernate (saturday morning) is frequently snatched by the school's activities on the weekend. i really hope that our charity sale will be a success. we really need to raise more money to support our trip to Penang. I've paid RM250 for the trip, and the amount is actually astronomical for such a 2-night-long trip as this. i wanna my money back!!! that's why we should really buck up for our drink sale tomorrow for the sake of our (and my) coffer. we need refund!
Here, i would like to wish happy 21st birthday to my sister Erna. huhu...hope that u're gonna enjoy being 21. keep on being such a nice kind of person. do maintain your great exam result, and buck up for your final sem exam. i hope that u'll walk out of UPM next year with your tip-top degree. i'm here, waiting you to treat me. secret ecipe pun jadila. hehe. it's your birthday, and a birthday girl is the one who is supposed to treat me, right? that's all...au revoir.

a night at nenek's house

well, i'm currently at my nenek's house, chatting wif my cousins while using the wifi facility there to check others' friendster profile. hehe...actually, we really enjoy digging other ppl's secret's from friendster, and getting latest news regarding our other cousins and relatives whose stories are little known due to the great distance separating us all.in fact, my family is damn vast. i have a numerous amount of 1st cousins, and not to forget a lottttt of 2nd cousins who are scattered here and there, leaving us everything but recognizing each other as a part of our grand family.
As what i've expected before, all my cousins do gather here, at nenek's house for her posthumous ceremonies like tahlil, yaasin, etc. even though all of us are currently covered by the cloud of sadness due to the departure of our nenek, we are also having fun now, exchanging stories, sharing really hot and funny stories, and even playing 'Uno' card. huuh...of course, as it is extremely rare for us all to gather this way due to the several constraints which disable my cousins to come back to btu really often. we're having fun, ironically, today, and we were laughing, laughing, and laughing joyously as we heard latest stories regarding abg Din's latest development. "are we going to hear another fake story from him? i'm tired of hearing all those terrible stuff from his mouth," that was lingering in my mind as i heard some ridiculous stuff from him.i don't know, but i can hardly believe anything he said to us just know, as all the things we were told of was really ridiculous by the judgment of any sensible person.
Tonight, i'm gonna sleep at my nenek's house, before paying my visitation at her final resting place at tomorrow's morning. this house is really full of the memory of my nenek, and i couldn't stop myself from keep thinking about nenek and the memory full joy and happiness with her as i gazed on the stuff that she really love on those days, like the antique decorations, and her lovely potrait in the bygone days... then, i'll be back home and study chemistry to cover up what i was supposed to learn on the day i skipped the school.
owh, thnxx, mary, for missing me. huhu...really? hehe, and, to my friends, miss u guyz a lot, and going back to school this tues. wanna prepare for my presentation this monday at my former school. Again, i'll be back at my former school, and i'm so ecstatic to see what's new and happening in my former school now. u know, i've spent 5 years studying there, and have a deep emotional feeling regarding SMKK. i'm going to talk at SMKK library this monday. i'm gonna have a 2-hour-long slot which is allocated for me, myself, and I. doesn't it sound weird? dunnoe,la... i wish i can do well this monday. SMKK, here i come!! my IB friends, see you in school. au revoir =)

the week full of blues

okay, 1st of all, i haven't updated my blog for quite a time, and this was due to the time constraints (really?), as well as my own laziness. now, finally, i've decided to update this simple blog a little bit frequent (actually i'm so envious of pau's really amazing and frequently-updated blog. i wanna follow suit)
Yes, the recent days have been really challenging to me, as my beloved and last-surviving grandma, Bibi Sakinah bt Akhbar Khan, passed away peacefully at the age of 84. al-fatihah for her. she'll always be eternalized by our sweet memory as a family, and i'll really miss our really big annual Hari Raya gathering that's always filled with laughters and joy. it's my hope that her soul will rest in eternal peace. amin... now, i neither have my grandpa nor grandma anymore, and that's a sad reality, actually.
That's not all that I have in this week. hearing from my mom that grandma's just passed away, i've decided to go back to bintulu as soon as possible, and my flight was scheduled at 1:40 pm, the day after her passing. i was so spirited and, actually, ecstatic to go back home that i've finished packing all my stuff the night before my departure, and everything was ensured to be perfectly right, when I did a silly mistake that i'll never forget. You know, i've woke up at about 6:50 to perform my Subuh, and as i felt terribly sleepy, i slept again at around 7:00, and set my alarm clock at about 8:15. feeling so confident that i'll be able to arrive at the airport on time, with such so-called time management, i just slept to my heart's content. huhu...
Then, i woke up, and the first thing I did as i woke up was looking at my watch to know whether i've been late or not. then, as i looked at my watch, i was damnnnn surprised to see that it's already 12:30pm. goodness!!! it's virtually impossible for me to catch my 1:40 flight, as i need at least an hour to reach the airport, and AirAsia's policy that requires every guest to check in 45 minutes before the departure time has made matters worse. i didnt know what to do, and about 3 mins later, my dad called me, to know whether i've reached LCCT or not at the moment. i was crying bitterly, nope, nope... i was wailing(what a shame) as i explained everything to my dad. then, my mom got the phone and tried to cool me down. i said that i was really sorry and did'nt mean to throw more than rm200 (the ticket's one-way price) down the drain. i also told her that i really wanna attend any of the posthumous functions related to my grandma's departure, as a part of my responsibility as her grandson. then, i cried, and my aunt also tried to cool me down. owh, god, what a shame!!! the whole family must've known now about the matter. i don't know where the hell on earth should i throw my face in order to hide my embarrassments. however, we've ended with a conclusion- i'll be back the next day, and my mom managed to book a tixx from my uncle's travel agency, just in the nick of time, and the cost, it's nothing but astronomical for a freakingly bad service airasia has to offer. it's damn expensive, actually, as my mom booked the ticket very late...
Incident is as terrible blow, as well as a wake up call for me. i came out with a resolution- i must try my best to overcome my bad sleeping habit. now, i'm going to get myself ready for my flight back to bintulu. this time around, i woke up so damned early, and planned to leave home at about 8:30. i'll never let the same thing to happen again. it's simply tragic.
That's the sad story of mine...

Midyear Exam

Our midyr examination's gonna start 2moro (14th may) with maths HL, and i'm gonna be extremely bz throughout the week in order to improve my overall ranking in the school. so far, i've done pretty OK for my past evaluations (35/42points for the 1st Class Test, and 37/42points for the 2nd class test). my target for the midyr is 38/42points, and i really hope that i'll be able to achieve this target. (petronas' requirement is 35 points and above, and the ,best a student can get is 42points). owh, dun wanna waste my tym now, hav to revise maths. au revoir, wish me gud luck,k.

Salina

Owkay, when i was informed by our English teacher, Ms Maya tat english version of Salina-A. Samad Said is gonna be included in our literature syllabus, i really wondered how can i stand reading this 500-page book. u noe, i really hate to read novels, esp those related to the history of our country, etc howeva, after reading through the novel, i found out tat Salina is a really eye-opener for everybody. it's one of the greatest novels i've read. maybe i'm exaggeratin, but i honestly feel tat the plot was crafted nicely by the author. owkay, Salina is all about Salina, a Malay lady, who has been victimised by the madness and cruelty of war. her family and sweetheart were killed by the Japs, leaving her all alone. war has also transformed Salina from a rich girl into an extremely poor lady, who can hardly make ends meet. in order to support herself, Salina becomes a prostitutes and suffers subjugation and prejudism by the society. to make matters worse, Abd Fakar, Salina's replacement of her late sweetheart Muhd Yusuf (both are having very similar physical appearances), treats her badly. she is always beaten and abused by Fakar. the story also has a very shocking ending. overall, it's all about Salina's struggle in her quest to be emancipated. it's a great novel tat shud be read by evryone>>>

Class Test II

yesterday (10th april) was the final for my Syarahan Competition. it's held at our school magnificent hall, and i was really damn nervous to see hundreds of students watching me delivering the speech. my hands were shaking badly (as usual), and i thibnk that i've talked too fast. perhaps it's due to time constraint, as i was only given 5mins to finish everything .i ended up being the 3rd. so dissappointed, dude. i should've done better.
owh, it's another xm week. seems that i have to burn my midnite oil throughout the week. owh, so sick of it. to make matters worse, our teachers are still giving tonnes of assignment during this test week. how can we cope with all these things?
