(Barely) 27th April

Note: This is going to be one helluva random post.
The spherical object to my right says that its 30 minutes past midnight and I'm tied to a chair. My fingers can barely move thanks to the arctic-like conditions. The room's pitch black and to add to the eerie surroundings, Eric Clapton's 'Tears in Heaven' is playing in the background. My only hope of survival lies on the rectangular beam of light that I'm currently staring at...and I think it's called a monitor.



But seriously, I think it truly is my saviour for tonight haha. I can't sleep..I just can't. I think it's just my brain finally accepting the fact that coffee is indeed destined to keep us humans up all night. Sigh everyone else is asleep...except for Nadzri. But again, he's on MSN so the fact remains that my monitor/pc is indeed my saviour for tonight, the knight for to-knight hahaha ok lame. Hey, I warned you so don't complain. Prior to typing 'www.blogger.com' on my opera browser, I had a thousand and one things in mind. Okay, I'll cut down on the exaggeration. I had a hundred and one things in mind. I just..I just lost my train of thought:/. Fine, I'll stop lying. Just like every other second of a day, I have n-o-t-h-i-n-g in my mind.


-15 minutes later-
Man..this is definitely social suicide. Whatever, anything to make me fall asleep would do. Curses on me for having a lazy Sunday (but I needed it okay).
Astrologically, anything that lies on the +08:00 GMT is already in a new week. So, let me say hi to the Monday Blues..NOT. I'm due to have only an hour worth of lessons later ha-ha-HA! And tuition for today is called off (this time, it wasn't my call). But my first exam paper is in a little more than a fortnight away and the debate nationals semi-finals is tomorrow. So...hi Monday Blues.
Don't you think it's funnyyyyyy that,


Everytime you ask a 7 year old kid the million dollar question of 'what do you want to be when you grow up/what's your ambition?' they always, I repeat, they always, I repeat again, always have a bloody firm answer. But when you ask a teenager or anyone that's on the verge of going to university, they just can't answer that (I'm guilty of this too okay). Most of them will answer with an 'I dunno'. Okay okay for the sake of maintaining justice, some of them do give an answer but there's always that hint of hesitation in their voices. Obviously I was once a 7 year old myself. The frequent answers that my friends and I would usually come up with are like the universal ones, you know, like teachers, pilots and doctors. The more complicated ones wanted to be a...lawyer. But hey, my first ambition was to be a doctor. But once hair started to spurt out of my armpits, I decided that my favourite colour was not red. I also fell in love with... travelling and all of a sudden, a pilot took the front seat of my mind. Having an uncle who flies, I've listened to most of his twist and tales. But I just can't picture myself as a married man and being constantly away from my family. Plus, I'm quite fidgety. I just cannot stand being stationary for more than a few minutes.



It's high time for me to make up my mind though. Being an A-level student, I've ruled out most of the cards from the deck through my subject selection and left out a few cards lying face down on the table. Let's just hope that once I flip that chosen card of mine, it'll be a good one :)

Aite I'm a tad sleepy now. Haha I guess I could use this blog as an alternative to my old method..you know, counting sheeps?


Lol nite.

12th April

Have you listened to Dear God - Avenged Sevenfold? I've never been a big fan of them but this song is something else. I stumbled upon this gem of a song a few months ago and I personally think it has very powerful lyrics if you miss someone dearly. You know, one of those songs which you listen to in the car and can make your mind wander off which will make you seemingly drive the car in auto-pilot mode haha.



Debate Nationals:
We've gone through to the semis! It's more of a relief honestly, since we're a new school (so new, that we didn't have a standard uniform until last week) and billed as the underdogs in what many assumed as the group of death with MD the defending champions, MS and SMSA the host school in our group. 

But our victory in our first match was a massive confidence-booster and although we lost our second match, we weren't going to make 400+ kms in two days and hours of missed lessons go down the drain just like that so we presented, in my opinion, our best performance for the last debate, got the win and earned ourselves a date with PTEM on the 28th :)


The ride back home was full of laughter :D

Part of ze entourage



I'm absolutely glad that the week's coming to an end though. I've got nothing major in store for next week, thank god for that. But I still have the debate thingy majiggy to concentrate on. We've gone this far, so we might as well make the most of it *grins*


Before I head off for dinner, a quick birthday shoutout to Faridah Yahya. Happy 18th woman!


Till then!

5th April

It's been crazy...


One of the debate practice sessions

A test yesterday, debate nationals in KB tomorrow and Tuesday, and two tests on Wednesday! I've been finding it hard to keep track of the days since my sleeping times are constantly changing. 



Aku sayang kau!

27th March

I'm 18 and I'm already starting to feel really old.

Maybe it's the freedom and sense of responsibility that I've gained ever since I got my driving license, maybe it's the prospect of entering uni soon while seeing more and more of my friends enter uni...or maybe it's just the ever-increasing beard-growing region on my chin. Ah well..so if I made anyone older than I am feel old, I'm sorry, but you'll forever be older than I am 0=)


Sorry, twas just a random thought haha. Moving on...


My holidays have been a breeze. But I've yet to have a, what I call a 'lazy day' at home. You know, one of those days where you stay in bed till noon and have a 3 pm lunch followed by a movie marathon that's accompanied by some snacks and a handful of fizzy drinks. I don't think I can even afford a day like that anymore. And yet another reason for me to feel old!


But hey I'm not complaining. It's been a decent, laid-back holiday anyway. A few schoolworks here and there, hours in the gym, a couple of debate meetings, some outings with my girl, one or two wacky moments with my buds, a lil dose of golf and some good family time, all comfortably tailored to fit in within the last 7 days!

Ok I'll stop yapping and move on to something which involves some pictures. Dad and I have been bringing my cousin Hazim to the mini par-3 golf course to get him started. It certainly doesn't hurt that he has a knack of taking pictures and damn he takes awesome pictures, considering his only weapon is a conventional sony digital camera.





I also had a family gathering a few nights ago. Ngah Hj Talip wanted to celebrate his retirement and his children's excellent grades in recent exams. Twas a rather large gathering, well sadang. Lots arent here currently but it's definitely the largest gathering ever since my cousin's wedding mid last year. Had a few good laughs (big ones too) so it was all good (Y).







Bah thats it for now..expect more updates pretty soon though! :D

Happy Holidays!

Finally, holidays!


The last term was quite an eventful one. Twas hectic but full of fun moments! While some are goin overseas for their holidays, I reckon I could use this 10-day break to catch up with my studies, get set for the upcoming exams at the same time recharge me batteries :)


Here are some pictures as a summary (albeit an incomplete one) of the last school term. Not in chronological order though :D


:D
