There's just got to be more to life than eating puddings and watching CSI.

To make long story short:


1. November and December have been hectic for me, both studies and extracuricular activities.

2. Sanity will be flying home soon :)

3. Our Strength will be leaving us soon :(

4. Please visit Diya-Dirah-Nana blogshop, qesuma. Mention my name, I'll give you baikpunya discount.

Nocturnal

Confused
it's like dejavu
too good to be true
but it aches.

Friday I'm in love.

It's friday and I'm home ♥.

It's nice to have a day off from school especially when the exam stress is finally over!

I have no offical plans or date this weekend. Eventhough I purposely asked Hafidz to be my date through YM and he said yes, I don't think that count. I refuse to discuss hypothethicals in this post :P. I'm dying to go out with my big black machine(BBM) for some phototherapy. My version of phototherapy means going out to snap some random pictures. It has nothing to do with any tanning sessions thank you. I'm living on the equator-- too much sun yet I'm not even wearing any UV-protector *sigh*.

Since I mentioned about my BBM, I want to buy new 'clothes' for him! Currently, I'm canoning Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II. I fell in love with this lens when a friend offered me to try his's.

Shutter : 1/15
Focal Length : 50mm
Aperture: f/1.8

The above picture was taken using Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 lens II. Currenly I'm only using kit lens, Canon EF-S 18-55mm, the lowest aperture number is only f/3.5. I need a lower aperture number in order to have a picture with crisp bokeh, something like the above picture. The background appeared to be blur, which sharpens the subject even more. Luckily, it's the cheapest among original Canon lenses. Okay lepas ni tak makan seminggu heheh.

Okay, enough with the BBM story. This might be unrelated with the whole post, but I came across this interesting button game. It's hilarious, try it!

Graduation of Two Rockstars

[taking a deep breath]

...this going to be an emotional post for me.

It was 620 in the morning. I usually wake up around this time on weekdays, but I have a tendency to hit the snooze button just to have a few more minutes of nap before I get my early morning shower. But today, the excitement of seeing my sister, Nadia and brother, Aiman, getting their scrolls gives me some sort of like an adrenaline rush.

When I was watching the ceremony, something tickles me from within. I wonder, will I be in that same situation next year? Will I have a chance to wear the robe and toss that mortar, and most importantly, receive the honorable title? Insyaallah, I'll try my best. But please pray for my success eh? :) Nevertheless, seeing thousands of graduates receiving their scrolls with the look of relief on their faces just uplifts me.

There were two session that day. My brother's was in the morning, and there was about a thousand of graduates before him. And the situation was the same for my sister. It was tiring to wait, but at the end of the day, it was all worthit.

p.s. I've uploaded the video from the ceremony in YouTube. I bet you can easily locate both of them from the video. haha :P

CONGRATULATIONS to both Kak Long and Eman!


I'm so proud of both of you. =D

PhotoTherapy: I need this in order to keep my sanity intact.

I can't remember the time when I stopped missing you.

This is why I couldn't stop smiling today.

-Utusan Malaysia, 7 September 2009

Nasib baik tak beli sampai 3 4 paper utusan hari ni. :p Got really exicited when I opened the paper today (padahal memang dah tau masuk paper, sebab tu beli pon, kalau tak haramm nak beli paper hari2. haha) . Tak dapat jumpa, tengok dalam paper pun jadilah.

By the way, his area was not severly affected by the earthquake, but they felt it somehow. 7.5 richter scale man, even the Hiroshima Nagasaki blast recorded 5.0 richter scale.

Oh yes, I'm very proud of you Pak YDP :)))

Sleepless night

"Hello world.
There's someone I've been missing .
I think that they could be.
The better half of me..."

[Come Home, One Republic]

This song has been playing in my mind for quite sometime now. Have heard it long time before but the version featuring Sara Bareilles is much more comforting to the ears.

Oh yes, it is easy to call someone to come home. But it is not that easy to have them right infront of your eyes when you really want them.

Saying goodbye has never been easy for me.

During that moment, when you intend to say good bye but deep inside you don't have the guts to say it out loud, that is when you are fighting with reality. My war against reality has never been glorious. At that very moment, silence has always been my best friend. You know, when you feel sad, and you feel like something is stuck in your throat as you are trying hard not to shed a tears, but at the same time you tried really hard to throw a happy face. But in the end, all you can give was a crooked smile. Thats what I always ended up instead of saying goodbye. Huduh gila. But thats better than blurting out unnecessary things *sigh*.

Now, I'm waiting for that moment when I can reclaim my pride.

The moment when reality is on my side.


when he come home, for good. :)


Starting from today, officially, I'll see the glass as half full. Okay, he has left me, again. But I'm one step closer to the finish line.
