I Fell.

HELLO EVERYBODY! (say that exactly like Gru in Minion Rush)

I do hope there's still some people out there.

Finals' just around the corner, 2 days to be exact.

Crazy things I do/did, instead of revising for the exam,

1. I just pledged on PledgeMusic for Megan Nicole's handwritten lyrics sheet package minutes ago

2. I spent one day finishing a book that I bought the day before and

I FELL-

for the 2 main fictional characters in the book.

Yep. I've said it. I don't usually get engaged with the characters in the books I've read but then, this is definitely an exception.

If I were a famous film director, I'd make a movie out of this book.

Did I mention that one of the main character's name is A? Coincidence much.

I cried at the ending of the book.Yes.

I read/ heard that there's a sequel/ companion to this book, from the other main character's POV!

Enough rambling for this post.

Till then, stay safe!

October 25,  2011.

October 25, 2012 I posted this:

I used to be the pathetic loser who was stuck in the past. 

Now, not anymore. 

No worries, I will always remember.

Ich vermisse dich Chicago Fall Semester 2011 and Miss Jacq.

Bloo.

Earlier on, I had this sudden urge to blog using the  language that I use to communicate with my homies, but then the thought of you (if there's anyone out there) laughing (or at least smirking) at my grammar and vocab, the urge immediately went away. Thank goodness, or else I would've made a fool out of myself. Phew.

It has been a while since I work on some assignment using le laptop. Which means, I have not been playing Tetris Battle.

Some proposal is driving me nuts. Restrained myself the whole day from a certain website (two, actually) but in the end, I failed.
This made me blow air out  from my nostrils for a moment.

Like they say, back at home, cute eh, nang lawak.

Zap.

Hello, my good people. Is anyone out there? I don't think so. That's fine with me. I like it like that.

Not sure whether to rant or to gloat. I have so much time, at the moment.

It only took me to glance out of the window, staring at the rain falling on, with the chilly weather recently, for me to realize the reason I successfully achieve a resolution of mine. Remember when I told you that I would create and improvise resolutions along the way? Yes. I did it.

What's it about?
To me, it's huge. I'm definitely grateful that I made it happen.
However, to you, it's just trivial, like a pebble lying around in the middle of the street.

Back to my story earlier on, I looked outside the window because my eyes were tired after reading this tome.

I'm halfway done. I admit that I am enjoying the book.

Sorry for digressing. As I was staring out the window, enjoying the view, a lot of thoughts going on in my mind. All of a sudden,

ZAP!

It struck me. Made me realize why it happened, why I'm where I am at right now and all. I won't elaborate further about this. I can say that:

Everything happens for a reason.

Emotion Commotion.

Yesterday I felt multifarious types of feelings. With me being aware of it the whole time. Usually I am very ignorant with that trivial matter.

The day began with me, feeling normal and quite confident with myself with the Calculus test.

Some time before the test started, I felt queasy, had the test jitters and all.

During the test, the emotions felt was very indescribable, stumbled across 2 questions that costed me 11 marks. My reaction was:

Well, let's just ignore that fact.

I felt very excited and all hyped-up after the test since I was looking forward to a rendezvous with some people, whom I looked forward to meet since a long time ago.

I learned that I am not good at surprises. We planned to send someone off at the airport without the person knowing the whole plan and it failed miserably. 

I had zero idea how to describe how I felt at that time, I can say I was devastated. I just couldn't explain myself with everything that happened. Not sure why I didn't have the guts to give the person a call. Maybe due to the fact that that person didn't reply my farewell text message, (which that person usually would do) and another peculiar thing was that person didn't check in via Foursquare.Only when I did( when I was about to leave), that person found out and checked in too. Tried my best to contain all the disappointment and stay normal. I guess we were not meant to meet up before that person left. I knew that I had to wait until my birthday next year for that person to come back for another break.I am very sorry for everything. I really am.

Let's pray that the semester break will fall on my birthday week! Haha!

Despite all that, I couldn't be more happy and thankful that I got the chance to spend the time with my accomplices for yesterday. We did catch up with each other's life progress. To spice things up, I love the fact that we still have our very own antics and was able to endure all that, which really made my day.

In order to make myself feel better, I went to a bookstore year-end clearance sale. I guess it did help make me feel better. One does not simply tear a bibliophile and tomes apart. The sad thing is, I can't read and finish them in the nearest time being. Too much homework. If only I could freeze the time and just experience the world of action-packed spies and philosophy (yup, I decided to change the genre!)

I am pretty sure I make more sense today. Listening to this makes me tap to the beat.

I hope I described well in this post.

Those Daunting Initials.

I know I am supposed to be revising for Calculus test tomorrow but, never mind. I'll do that after posting this.

Never mind that.

The 5 daunting initials after SPM, SAT, O-Levels, A-Levels, Foundation studies and so on:

I heard that it's exam season. Not sure whether I can help you out, but all I can do is pray for your success and may your all your efforts pay off eventually.

Head over to:

http://www.musicforthesoul8000.blogspot.com/2011/12/toefl.html

for my firsthand account of le TOEFL exam last year. Even though already did your TOEFL/ IELTS, just enjoy that post. 

Good Life.

I couldn't be more grateful right now, but I am indeed very grateful.

Entering the 4th week of school and September's leaving.

Something occurred to me last Friday and I'm glad it did. I can't recall the last time I felt that way.

Hypothesis: Practice makes perfect and efforts pay off eventually
Conclusion: Hypothesis is proven to be true.

I hope I am able to be motivated with that so-called trivial achievement (it really means a lot to a person like me) and keep up the good work.

Note to self: Eschew procrastination.

Out of the blue,

INPRO 2011: Closing Ceremony.

So I 'heard' tonight's the closing ceremony for this year's INPRO games at UiTM Shah Alam.

I know I'm quite late to post this but hey, at least I am doing it.

I remember how absurd I was last year, for bringing along my SAT book, just to pass the time and  when they separated students according programs and I had to be around my ATU family. Never mind that.

Here are some photos of the crowd, (if possible, don't click on the image, it's a hassle):

The moment I entered the stadium

From the bleachers. 

Middle East Program

Japanese Program

Russian Program

AUSMATs

Part of the crowd

 Last but not least, my awesome ATU family! Image captured right after they've  performed. Great news, we won!

 I'm sorry I can't upload the winning video of them performing. Won't want to be in any trouble.

LEGO®.

Been a LEGO® fan since le parents bought me those colorful plastic toy bricks when I was young.
I've always dreamed of living going here one day. I know I will.

But then, I don't mind going here first.

This is definitely going into my resolution list.

Have an incredible week ahead. Till then, take care and stay awesome :)

Frisbee.

My frisbee flew all the way up here. I volunteered and had to climb up the rocks to get it.

Even though it wasn't with the people you cherish and care about, it was good to spend the day at the beach, after quite a long time.

Farewell August 2012, Greetings September 2012.

I know, I know. I've been away for quite some time. But hey, be grateful that I still remember you, my superb readers (I do hope there's any). School starts tomorrow, so this is my last weekend. No more breaks and all. Bracing myself for this.

Hopefully I won't be The Picasso-again.
Happy schooling everyone! I think I'm a little late to wish that but, yeah.

Page 205 of 366.

Finally I have time to rant here. Well, I have to steal some time from other important things/responsibilities just to rant.

I hope it's not to late to join in the mainstream and wish those whom it may concern a wonderful and blessed Ramadhan 1433H.

I am indeed very and super grateful that I get to experience 4 days of this blissful month (so far) with mi familia. Not going to brag about that or anything, just being grateful and embracing every moment spent with them.

Last Friday, I managed to execute my plan of having a rendezvous with 3 of le partners-in-crime. It was indeed another thrilling and fun-filled adventure (at least on my part) with all the sudden changes of plans, detours, waiting for a certain someone in the rain (literally, the waiting part), driving in the rain, playing in the rain,  revisiting our alma mater, collecting our SPM and English GCSE-O certificates, meeting teachers (some of them), telling/ revealing truths of our current and future plans as students, more driving in the rain, detours as alternatives to avoid traffic congestions, (almost) serious conversation while sending someone back home and more.

It has been a month since I got home and I've been hanging out with my family and only them since most of le partners-in-crime are in school and all. Pardon me for digressing but I'm a troll. That didn't come out right.
I'm this troll.

And I got the genes from both of my parents.  So let's review.

See?

Don't believe me? Try asking my Whatsapp contacts to prove my statement.

Before I end this post,

Happy Birthday!

Cut the story short.

HAPPY 1ST BIRTHDAY/ANNIVERSARY CHICAGO FALL 2011!

To be frank,

but hey, I just want to convey this special message to those special people who came into my life and made it more meaningful. 17 weeks with you guys were the best days and moments I had. No words can describe my feelings about you awesome people.

If some of you might realize, our first class started on 13/07/2011 but it was CTIS10/CTES10. Therefore I deduced and declare that 14/07/2011 (when we got together as a family and attended USEL 03, USEL 15 and USMT 12) as our official 1st day of class during Fall 2011

Happy 19th birthday to Le Chicagoan! All the best at UIUC and for everything ahead.

I'll try my best to keep our class page alive. I'll come up with something. Hope you guys won't mind me spamming your notifications and all.

I'm sorry for ruining this moment by forgetting the things I want to type. Some things are best left unsaid.

In retrospect, Chicago Fall 2011: 1 year ago. We were so young! Well, not that young. You know what I mean. The first photo will be exactly 1 year old tomorrow!

P.s. Remember the video I premiered during our 2nd class rendezvous?
P.p.s Thank you for infecting me with the 9gag disease. I've been longing to say this  11 months ago but, yeah. There. I've said it.

Disappointment.

A peculiar incident happened to me just now. Even though I try to restrain myself to create this post since I am going to reveal people's weaknesses, as every religion teaches its people not to do so but my intention is so that others will not encounter the same thing as I did, for safety reasons.

I went hunting for a large box to put in my things. I was on the verge of giving up and might decide to throw those precious things if I failed to find the perfect box to put them. I saw this pile of boxes and a kitten behind some fast food outlet.Then I decided to go check it out.

Then I laid my eyes on that box, just the perfect size and I had second thoughts of taking it. I was worried in case it couldn't fit in le uncle's car later on. While I was busy talking to myself, I knew I was being watched.

The moment I kidnapped the box away, I heard some bloke yelling HALO! HALO! Luckily I had my earphones on, as usual and walk away.

After a few meters from the place I kidnapped the box, the bloke caught up with me with his motorbike. He reprimanded me for taking away HIS BOX from his area. He claimed that he was at the crime scene.

I was like:

Me: Kalau uncle nak ambik lah. (If you want your box so badly, here. Take it)

Bloke@Hobo: :Lu perlu kotak tu kah? (Do you really need that box?)

Me: Taklah jugak. Nak bawak barang balik kampung.Sorry lah unlce, saya tak tau ini uncle punya. (Not really. I just need it to bring my things home. I'm sorry, mister. I didn't know it was your box.)
(How on Earth should I know. He didn't write his name on it. Who asked him to leave it lying around? Why didn't he put the Police-line-do-not-cross-tape?

Bloke@Hobo: Lain kali  lu cakap dulu, tanya sama kotak sudah ambil ke belum. Next time, ask first whether I already possess that box or not.

(There's NO NEXT TIME! I'M GOING HOME FOR GOOD BLOKE!)

Me: Thank you uncle, sorry saya tak tahu tadi. Thank you mister. Sorry about that.

After that he went away I was like:

Pardon me for the bad English. I translated it directly.

After all that drama, I was disappointed in people like that hobo. Actually I don't think he's a hobo as he rode a motorbike but I still want to use that term.

Why would you reprimand a teenager, who somewhat steal an unused box in your territory? Why make that box an issue? I do not want to be like him, desperately searching for boxes and reprimanding people for stealing your income away.

I was grateful enough  that he didn't run into me with his motorbike.

I Will Find You.

Woke up super early since I couldn't sleep. Even though it was my fault but I still blame the mosquitoes for playing the song of its species and having a feast without my permission. It's hazing here in Shah Alam. Even le mom knows how bad it is since the whole thing was on the news.

I opened the window less than 1 cm, hoping I could provide some ventilation and reduce the heat but those creatures took the opportunity to misuse me.

Just so you'd get a clearer image of the whole situation,
Protagonist: Liam Neeson (Me)
Antagonist: Dog (Mosquitoes)

The moment I woke up and found out I was 'punctured' and had holes on my arms and worst, underneath my feet,

Only managed to kill 3/5 mosquitoes, those only one of them was bloated with fresh B+ type blood.

The other 2 mosquitoes, I repeat, "I DON'T KNOW WHO YOU ARE, BUT I WILL FIND YOU AND I WILL KILL YOU,"

Enough with the melodramatic incident.

So, after the waiting and killing part (mostly waiting), I opened my Calculus textbook. In the end I got bored and played Tetris Battle. I even had the chance to battle with le partner-in-crime.

The only thing I'd like to convey on this fine but hazy morning is I hope I could meet and spend time with Ramadan this year. I yearn so much for this year's rendezvous with that month full of blessings that I'm trying my best to be patient and contain that feeling. If God's willing, I will. 

I am right, right?

The second last week of Summer Semester has ended.

Having bad weather here in Shah Alam. It's hazing, the look and the smell of global warming.

Speaking of haze, I misinterpret the song in my previous post.

There was the first 3 lines at the beginning of the chorus:

I wanna be blown away
I wanna be swept off my feet
I wanna meet the one who makes it hard for me to breathe

My interpretation: The I refers to DUST.

Most of you will give these reactions.

But I am partially right.

People blow dust away, sweep dust and dust makes people hard to breathe.


No offense, Megan Nicole! I still look up to your music skills.

Bubbles.

No matter what age you are, you can never say no to bubbles, even you restrain yourselves from popping them. I know, deep down inside you want so badly to pop them too.

Megan Nicole made me want to play with bubbles. See?

I didn't even bother to understand the song. Was too occupied with the bubbles and her guitar.

INTEC UiTM: Seksyen 17 Campus.

Full credits to INTEC Sky page. I'm just conveying the info.

Even though you will be going on a tour around the campus during your orientation week, best known as Minggu Destini Siswa (MDS), might as well you enjoy this photos, who knows you'll be able to get to know the places around the campus even better.

I didn't know this place exists

Block U: The most diverse block ever

Block W: ALM block

Warmest Welcome to INTEC UiTM, Shah Alam.

Since I received a lot of requests from my readers that I should share more stories or anything similar like that about INTEC. Without further ado, welcome, to all future INTEC students.

Hello there. I'm your guide for this and the upcoming posts regarding INTEC UiTM. I'm currently pursuing American Degree Foundation Program in Engineering and I'll be completing my Summer Semester in  2 week's time. Most probably won't be able to meet those students of July 2012 intake. Never fear, you get to meet me here. Virtually.

Without further ado, brace yourselves for more info on your future alma mater,
