You Are A Tourist-Death Cab for Cutie
I really love the indie element been put in this song and the guitar line.The lines that really captured my heart:
"And if you feel like a tourist in the city you were born.Then it's time to go".
Chicago-Sufjan Stevens
I always love Sufjan Stevens though he is not that well-known in Malaysia. Thanks to Davski Samski whom introduced Stevens to me. Stevens has an extraordinary voice that really touch my heart and his choice of lyrics are among my favourite. This song, the music is really sentimental and makes you kind of reflect yourself when the line " I made a lot of mistakes I made a lot of mistakes"
Come on! Feel the Illinoise!-Sufjan Stevens
I love the music and this song can be diverged into 2 parts. I technically love the second part where Carl Sandburg Visits Me in a Dream. Though this song is quite long (almost 7 minutes) but it's worth it especially when you're driving along highways or along beaches.
Few nights ago, I went for Tarawih prayer and after the prayer ended, the Imam gave a short tazkirah that touched on an issue of a guy who complained when a McDonald's played the azan when it was Maghrib. The Imam focused that how insensitive and disrespectful some non-Muslims towards our religion and how we should fight and stand for our right as a Muslim.Point taken.
Back at home, I realized something. We, Malays,Muslims are also being insensitive in certain areas/parts.
Take an example: During any jamuan/kenduri we, Malays tend to cook and provide our guests with beef based food and then invite people including the Chinese and Indians. The Malays serve beef and put it at the same place with chicken, vegetables etc. This can be very disrespectful to the Indians as for them, they do believe that cows are sacred animals. Imagine if we,Malays were put under their shoes when we go to a food table and realize that there is a pork/ham being placed besides chicken. For sure, all Malays will be pissed off and refused to eat after they saw the pork/ham. Back to the Indians, they seldom complain about how they feel about the beef stuff but to clear everything up, it is our job as host to respect everyone's belief systems.
Living in a country like Malaysia, even Singapore where there is a healthy mix of people from different races and religions, we should really be open to the different religious practises of others. I am not saying that we must agree or embrace the practises of other religions, but we should definitely respect them no matter how we feel.
Lets not make a mountain out of a molehill, boleh?

Oh, this time I kinda of venture my camera and use "aperture" mode with all this crazy shutter speed and iso's.
Who says using a dslr is an easy stuff? It's so hard and sometimes I do regret my decision purchasing dslr.
BAD BAD BAD decision.

Just updates
Just because I'm Asian,
Doesn't mean I'm terrorist,
Doesn't mean I'm extremist worldly and spiritually,
And it doesn't mean I'm orgy as well.
Just because I'm Asian,
Doesn't mean I'm poor,
Doesn't mean there are cows and goats roaming down my street,
And beggars in front of my door.
Just because I'm Asian,
Doesn't mean I'm lazy,
Doesn't mean I'm unsanitary due to my coloured skin,
And looking for a cure.
Just because I'm Asian,
Why should anyone care?
What is the difference?
What is life without colours?

Here is some time of my personal bullshit
Can Allah sprinkle me with some happiness? because seriously I can't take it any more and some good stuff would be nice. Just saying.
Things are just not going completely well.Got lack of sleep really drives me crazy.
I'm not even bothered by the stuff that normally bother me.I'm sick of same problems running in circle.
_________
I absolutely love my classes
but I hate assignments. plus exams.
_________
Things change,people change,life changes us,you never know what to expect each day when you wake up.
_________
I've been contemplating again-whether to delete my blog or not. Khalas.

iPad mania
*inspired by Mr.Mazlan*
iPad is a great piece of machinery from Apple.Its been widely used in many sectors of entertainment, business, household and etc.Based on my reading, iPad apps are commonly used for business people to increase their productivity while on the go.For artists and designers to lug aroud their portfolios. and, for students in 4 schools in Singapore,they use iPad as their reference when studying.
Yes ladies and gentlemen.Productivity,Portfolio and REFERENCE. Say bye bye to heavy textbooks and hi to iPad.
Problems
1."Teacher,I forgot to bring my book because I have to carry lots of book today"
2."Mommy,I have a terrible backache because I have to carry this heavy school bag with books in it."
3."Ahhh,I forgot to check on the internet that the teacher asked us to present today"
Please don't fret.Grab your coffee,sit back and keep reading.

hmmmm...
The Internet is been so bonkers.One minute it's fine,(and really fast) but next is gone.Its like when someone gives you your favourite candy and in the midst of enjoying the rich of strawberry flavour,that person snatches it back before you even get to the bubble gum in the centre.
Anyway,the thing is,I get demotivated really easily. For example, I am supposed to complete an outline for my expository writing subject. Because to do the simple outline is so hard for me, I tend procrastinate the job and instead of opening microsoft word on the computer,I quickly open my blogger webpage.
*sigh*
My Mak always says that I am a kind of person who always "melepaskan batuk di tangga". Though the truth is hard to accept,but yes Mak,you are right.
*sigh*
Plus,I also need to do some poetry reading. Have I told you that I super-like my Poetry lecturer,Mizz TJ. T for Tanja.She's really professional (in terms of teaching) and yes,very pretty(cus she's half blood of Germany) I always wander in the class if she is a he,he will turn out to be the most handsomest lecturer in IIUM!
Apart from TJ, I like Dr.Maimunah as well though I freaking hate the subject that she's teaching me as well. Linguistics. Linguistics. Linguistics.
*sigh*
Besides,Mr.Mazlan also brings us joy and more on terror when it comes to his classes every week. One of his famous quotes " Lets do some thinking shall we?" or " I swear to God,you will cry,YOU WILL CRY"
Anywho,the subject is tough and lets pray the best so that I can passed the paper even got a B in it :p
*sigh*
Dr Nurbani meanwhile is teaching Revelation as a Source of Knowledge(RASOK).She's super sarcastic plus quite a rock-and-roll typo of person.I heard rumours that she's been marrying to a mat saleh hence that's why she is some kind of what should I call as, oh,a cool person.
Mr Riaz on the other hand teaches us Political Science subject. He's superfine of course,but a few of our classmates are pretty annoying on their own which make me,or my friends are annoyed in the class. There is this particularly 1 classmate who always asks to many,excessive amount of questions and I honestly,feel like throwing my toilet slippers to make her mouth shut.
*sigh*
Lastly,Ghada Salim teaches us Fardhu Ain class.She's from Saudi Arabia and of course,her English accent is quite funny causing myself to roll on the floor laughing. HAHA. But,the thing that I like about Fardhu Ain class is that,it teaches me on how to be more careful when it comes to our ibadah.It teaches us again,on how to perform wudu',solat yada-yada in proper way.I guess I don't feel regret for not getting into Halaqah section as I really like Fardhu Ain class.
The reason why I'm writing this is because I'm out of idea in doing my writing assignment.Gonna have a fresh start and start doing my stuff all over again.
p.s: I want to fly to India, buy lots of saree and live with them.

So,the title above translates the meaning of procrastination based in my super humble opinion.
Assignments make me fat. and broke. and I don't know which one is worse :/
I'm broke and fat because I spend too much money on food esp.when I have to spend most of the time inside the gigantic size of IIUM library which always cause me feel terribly hungry inside it. The sole reason of me keep eating cause I need energy to concentrate whilst its just bullshit cause I'm eating sugary food when I'm not hungry.Have I told ya that I have a terrible sweet tooth!? Aye,if you happen to see a rhinoceros working on a laptop while munching chocolate and drinking the shitty coke,that is, no doubt is me.So,don't forget to say hi :)
*sigh* *so.fat*
OKAY SO MAYBE I SHOULD'NT REGARD MYSELF AS FAT EVEN THOUGH I REALIZED THAT I ALWAYS SAY I AM FAT MOST OF THE TIME.
But,srsly,my weight is increasing since I started my life in Gombak.*sigh*
ahhhh,I hate shift people.You know,people WhO tYpE lIKe ThIs. And also people who always spellz like thiz. It is so BLOODY ANNOYING
So,maybe I should relax a bit,like watching Glee episodes before doing my assignments.
I'm fat.

Halooo...
Posted this a while ago before taking my shower
Don't know what to update but I feel the need to.So,just bear with my vanity okay?
Much thanks and love to those who are still kindly reading my blog after all those rants and crapish posts,neglects and bandwidth skills. And for those who stop.ahh,well shame on you!
No,I'm just kidding
haha.bye.
p.s:busy weekend ahead.*sigh*
So,my parents nowadays are being unbelievably ridiculous. They said that I have to get married after I finished my degree . because they know how wild I can be sometimes so they aren't letting me go alone as I'm growing older.
*faints*
They are freaking serious,demmit! *breaths in* *breathes out* *calms down*
So,that means if I want to stick to my plan,to graduate before 24,I must find a guy before I finish my degree.I still have 3 more freaking years.I'll think about it when I'm in my final year.OK,wait.So,that means I'm gonna to marry someone I've only know about a few month!?
That means...I have to start looking like,now?Come on,now?I'm only 20!!
Shit, I don't want to be a normal plain boring teacher. I want to be a hype adventurous teacher!! I want to travel the world alone. My parents are so so sooo unbelievable.
I mean,who would want to marry me? Im kinda weird,witty,crazy and monkeyholic. HAHA.
So,anyone? Must be a guy,Muslim,straight,decent job,and doesnt have to be handsome like Ryan Reynolds or Paul Walker,but definitely not ugly.You can just email me your resume with your pictures attached?
No one?
Okay,maybe I should start collecting monkeys now.Buy papers to make scrapbooks for my monkeys.Or perhaps start knitting as well.Just be prepared to grow old,you know...hmm..
ps,alternatively,I could use those 3 years to earn their trust and try not to ruin it!(cause let's face it, I have a tendency to screw things up).
pps.maybe its not appropriate to post this to post this on my blog. I can always do that blog deleting again. I'm beginning like doing that.
