Transience

I'll be just fine Pretending I'm not I'm far from lonely And it's ALL THAT I'VE GOT -The Used- Whew! A whole week of not studying! That is totally odd after months of marathon study for PMR. I'm currently in the post-'post Brooke' phase. 4 whole days of babysitting an eleven-year-old orang asli ..hurm.. a pretty educational experience, I might say..for me..but I'm not sure if it is the same for her, though. Sadly, I have this dreaded feeling at the pit of my heart that she has learnt nothing from me. To make the story short, these indigenous children are very passive and need food (lots of it, i repeat, lots of it!) to continually fuel their interest in learning. I did have fun during the closing ceremony though, and was satisfactorily entertained by Nasrur and Rizu's (two very talented and outstanding orang asli pupils who learn quite fast in comparison to others and are musically-inclined) rendition of Ungu's song, Demi Waktu, Jinbara's...

I'm going back today =( My class is seemingly doing a drama on inter-species romance. An alien princess with a homo sapien teenager. It's gonna be fun. The props are gonna be out-of-this-world and maybe, kind of complex to make, but all the same, marvelous if we can pull it off. For the setting, we might be doing a space backdrop. Costumes, perhaps a blend of futuristic, contemporary and medievel and a little touch of Goth as it will be in a modern-day Halloween setting. We haven't discussed the storyline yet, but it's going to be a fusion of comedy, action and the lot.. Inspirations come from an array of popular sci-fi characters from Star Wars, Star Trek and a Malay short story Anyss Sophillea. I just can't wait.

Last Day of cuti for me!! Tomorrow I'll be going back.. for filling in the after PMR activities, I'm to 'babysit' a rural indigenous kid from SK Post Brooke, Gua Musang.. how delightful is that? I can consider myself a 'professional' (har,har) babysitter..babies cry at the sight of me..huhuhuhuhu..that's right, leave the kids to me..and I might turn into the child-roasting hag of hansel and gretel.. currently, I'm hooked on Fall Out Boy, The Used and MCR (of course!) I can't wait for English drama..

Man, my friends are back at school and I'm stuck here!! I finished reading Diana Wynne Jones' Black Maria', yeah, another chlidren's book, I know, and a tad bit old cheese by now, but it's still a good read. nice exposition, however I've yet to come to a satisfactory ending to match that of the Bartimaeus Trilogy. It's not nice to compare, I know, but I'd really like to see more action in my life for once..or maybe I'm just upset over other things which cloud my proper judgment of the book =(

Everything is f’ed up Straight from the heart Tell me what do you do When it all falls apart Gotta pick myself up Where do I start ‘Cause I can’t turn to you When it all falls apart -the Veronicas- Another day of Raya and it doesn't feel like Raya. I don't know, maybe it doesn't feel like Raya because my home environment isn't accustomed to the Raya traditions. There's definitely nothing to watch on TV except boring, boring, soppy Raya drama and yeah, there's the concert. I'm so darn bored and am I missing school?? God, I can't wait to learn Biology and Sejarah and Additional Maths and Physics.. and PMR results are still two months away-damn!!

Whatever tomorrow brings I'll be there with open arms and open eyes, yeah I'll be there -Incubus- Yes!!! I finally finished the final instalment of Harry Potter! this is my review, but I must warn you that it does contain spoilers. Overall, a better plot build-up compared to the fifth book (that was, in my opinion, the most 'kureng' of the seven-I dare not say more than that, as a proper adjective would be too treacherous to Potter readers alike, such as myself). The body count is high, but the deceased all died for Harry. (Hedwig didn't desearve to die!!) After my conversion to pro-Snape, I guess that it was unfair for him to sacrifice hmself on Potter's behalf after all that his dad and he, himself has done to him. Sadly, unlike the sixth book which showcases Voldemort's (I dare!) ingenuity and his rise as a powerful and very much demented Dark Lord , the seventh book depicts Voldemort as a typical villain who is ignorant and careless. Ron, although a ...

TRAGEDY IN TIME By NURUL KAMILAH BINTI MAT KAMIL Sweat rolled down his temple. I watched him grin triumphantly as he finished off his welding and put in the last rivet onto the body of his creation. “Eureka!” Demetrius gave a victorious cry. The heat of the moment swept him away with a wave of euphoria washing over his young, adolescent face. My skeptical mind refused to process the image that my eyes were seeing. There, in the centre of the Foxglove Manor garage stood a man-made marvel – a time machine, or as my extremely intelligent cousin calls it  a ‘Chronocraft’. The pale glow reflecting off the copper and aluminum surface gave it a glossy metallic sheen, which complemented its beautiful craftsmanship: an impeccable masterpiece. Nobody else could have pulled it off other than my child prodigy cousin, Demetrius  a mere 15 year-old. I had to admit that his intellect is unmatched but could he have unveiled the secrets of our universe? “Lysander, have I not accomplished the ultimat...

MR. SMEEVES By NURUL KAMILAH BT. MAT KAMIL I attempted to tear myself away from his gaze. This proved rather difficult, for sitting across the table was a man in his late thirties, grinning like the Chesire Cat from Alice in Wonderland. He was dressed smartly in a creaseless white suit like that of a ‘professional entrepreneur’. “Now then, I’m Smeeves from Chrono Corporation. You’re Lynette Parson, correct? Well, now, I believe we’re properly acquainted.” I nodded reluctantly in response. The Millefueille Café was packed that day. Several business luncheons were held at almost every table. I was uneasy as I was the only high school student with her little brother at her side having some cake there. No doubt I was soon about to engage in a business affair of my own. I just happened to meet Mr. Smeeves in the park. He stopped me on my way back home and asked me if I was interested in purchasing something. He was very charming and I was persuaded by a promised treat at this particular caf...

Nothing of ny fancy to write today since I've still not finished reading HP yet, but I think I'll post the essay that won me fourth place for the Perdana essay-writing competition 2006 organized by the Perdana Leadership Foundation for today.. Question: Select one of Malaysia’s past Prime Ministers and discuss his contributions to the country. Title: Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamad: Malaysian Mindset and Modernization Metamorphosis . In its forty-nine years of independence, Malaysia has been governed by five Prime Ministers, namely, Tunku Abdul Rahman, Tun Abdul Razak, Tun Hussein Onn, Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamad; and the current Prime Minister, Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi. However, it was Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamad, who brought about the greatest changes to our nation. In my opinion, even though the other Prime Ministers have also made numerous contributions, it was Tun’s contributions which made the most impact on Malaysia as his visions were thought of to be radical yet extremely e...

Yes!!! I home for RAya!! PMR just finished and all the suspense seems to be killing me... I just got my hands on the new HP book and am currently in the process of reading it. Review soon to come. HAPPY EID to fellow Muslims!

I'm here in the school library right now. I'm frustrated to tears now!! My BM is only 78 and that was my first time getting a 'B' on paper 2! Damn!! I was this 'close' to winning a bet. Unfortunately, I only beat him in English. ANd yes, from the motivation session the whole form 3 and form 5 students got yesterday, being 'close' doesn't mean that you're there yet... =( All in all, I'm just moping around about my bad result, but on the bright side, I did better this year, thanks to the little bit of inspiration from a little competition. I was challenged and I accepted it. May the best man win!! =)

It's the Rise of The Rebels Have you listened to MCR's 'Teenagers'? well, it's all about that ever evolving teen culture and in this day and age, things were not as they used to be anymore. As we can see in this era, teenagers are the dominant bunch on our planet. There is media based on teen culture, fashion trends set to teen interests. Influence is a great force. Teenagers are easily influenced by their surroundings and may have the power to set a dominant world-wide trend. In fact, teenagers are one of the easy victims of globalization (i.e. the existance of the internet) The internet is wonderful place. You can say whatever you want and you can get away with it (unless if you're being monitored by the government).

When you go would you even turn to say, I Don't Love You like I did yesterday.. Yesterday, I went for the PMR seminar. It was fun and helpful as it got my brain going. Love the History lesson!! I finished reading Crooked House by Agatha Christie. Intriguing play of psychology motives. Today, I'm starting on my schoolwork-boring Tomorrow, I'm doing the same thing all over again for the next 5 days... As I return to school, I will face the wrath of my mid-year results... (shudder)

Yes!!! I finally got my paws on the newest instalment of the Artemis Fowl series!!!! Artemis is apparently going through a transition from anti-hero to hero now, but I do hope that he doesn't turn out to be in the same cluster as the Harry Potter bunch.. (sigh) In this new book, Artemis has met his match and he takes on a very analytical outlook on his puberty phase. (for goodness sake, he's got a gal!) I just watched the new Spidey movie and all I can say is that the 'EMO Parker' is so cool!! All in all, I'm still recuperating from the HKSBP daze and in a few days time, I can concentrate on my piled-up work.

Sunshine through my pane doubt that it would rain What was I thinking? a fantasy everlasting? Wake me up from this dream Show me what living means don't leave me isolated things are already complicated I may have my nightmares the way I like it but I have a job that I soon will quit Save me from this blunder and I'll let you off as you like it

Does the guy or the gal say i love you first? If it were me, I'd be the first one. Get my point? I'm a pretty straight-forward person. Heck, what's the deal with all these secret stuff? I've got no skeletons in the closet to hide. I can't see any reason why I should keep a journal. It's no fun at all writing compared to the joy of blogging. Down with diaries!!

Everybody's raving about this year's SPM result. It turned out the girl who was supposed to get 19A's didn't get 19A's after all! That poor kid! I'm better of taking 10 subjects and get straight a's for them than suffer the humiliation of a failed attempt to outbest Publicized Princess Amalina (another more ridiculously Publicized Princess is no other than Diana 'Ina' Naim of high-profile break-up with Mawi fame. Puhleaze! You people have to mind your own business- then again, other people's business is their business! How can an ex-fiancee of Mawi turn into an overnight artiste? Did she just cry her way to stardom?). Think of all the wasted time and effort. All the hard work of trying to foolishly out-do 'a record' that the kementerian so much prized. Can't 10A's propel you to a better future as well? I've seen students with 10A's (just) doing so much better than Amalina right now. So, what's with all that jazz of ta...

MSSK Golf 2007 in sweet memories..

Life is a curse, to those wishing they were never born those plagued with so much hate and scorn Life is a dream, unreal to those who linger it is an overnight phase, it is not forever Life is a blessing to those who are grateful although not always colorful, but all the same wonderful in many ways Life is a journey tiresome and exciting a jumble of sensations and exquisite feelings Life is a chance an opportunity to reach for the sky to spread your wings and fly for an opportunity only comes once and never again for a second time Live LIFE to the fullest!

Hmm.. doesn't tan go very well with greens? I love this layout, seriously. For today, I shall comment on a few books that I have read. Well, I'm restarting my reading-slowly.. First one is a spy novel by Len Deighton. Not exactly fresh off the shelves, I just got it from my dad. Apparently, my first spy novel. Exciting read. A rarity among teenagers nowadays as they tend to read chicklits and romance. The secret of the effective plot is in the unfolding drama, the mind games and the treason. Beautifully crafted sentences. Hats off to the man. Second is the local PTS published 40 Lukisan Hati. Malay romance novels are such a big woof. Amusing, really. Two best friends secretly 'crushing' each other..jealousy with the appearance of a third party..yaddyaddyadda..the same old bore. Right now American Idol is on air on Star World. gotta watch. It's the holiday season. woohoo!! And for all those SBP students, HKSBP Zon Timur is in Faris this year! whoopee!
