B.I.G

I got back from Tebu View Camp at Gunung Tebu (duh) for B.I.G yesterday and boy was I beat. Washed a heap of clothes, my feet felt like it were going to fall off and nothing beats the comfortability of my bed in 'penjara besut' (hehe).

Overall it was great. Gone through series of hiking and water expedition. Unlike any other camp I've attended, we have to take turn cooking for the whole troop. That part was fine too. The physical part was exciting. I can't help but imagining as one of the characters in LOTR as we hiked up Gunung Tebu. Well of course I was more like the Hobbits going through the woods in the journey to Mount Doom in Mordor to throw the ring of power in the volcano. If onlyla the ranger was as handsome as Aragorn or heavenly like Legolas *sighs* Berangan aje lebih, thee hee hee.

Water Expedition, l to r - classmate, neighbour, yours truly, roomie.

Our class won for the best performance during the B.I.G Night *hurrah EPICS 07* (*o*)/

Tagged - 6 Weird Stuff About Yourself

Blog hop, hop and hop - last-last kena tag -_-;

And so... hmmm 6 weird stuff about me eh?
Let's see...

  1. No matter how, I have to be able to be connected to the net. It is more or less like an addiction, thanks for today's technology. If that certain place does not have an internet connection, there's always an internet cafe around but it was ages since I went to one.
  2. I like to do weird poses for my pictures - hanging from a tree, contortionist pose when everyone else is standing straight, lying on the floor when everyone is squatting, and not forgetting the 'V' sign. Well of course that would only be if the person who took the picture is someone I know and of course I'm not that whack enough to be doing it during formal, @_@
  3. I could sleep almost anywhere whether it's sitting down or standing - happens if and when the talk that requires me standing is boring me to tears. Thanks to 5 years in boarding school, thee hee hee.
  4. Despite my limited Japanese vocabulary - listening to Jpop and Jrock songs, watching Jdramas (provided subtitles are give) is a must for me ^_^ omoshiroi ne~~~
  5. I always wake up minutes before the alarm that I set went off. More or less I have my own body alarm that wakes me up. Well, if you see me waking up late even after the alarm went on, that's just because I 'accidentally' sleep again after setting the alarm off ^_^; but then again that's not quite weird lah kan?
  6. I have to have at least a e-book in my pc/laptop that I haven't read yet. If I don't, I will feel weird.
Uwahhhh such an ordeal to come up with all those stuff. Either I'm not weird enough or I'm just too weird to realize that I am weird, hahahaha. Hmmmmm 6 ppl to tag - I don't know whether they will do it or not lah, risk it:-
  1. Birthday boy (or is it man?) my bro, Bangbil - Considerla task birthday nanti siap nanti diah blanja kek secret recipe se'slice', hahaha
  2. Sue Mail - memandangkan she haven't updated her blog
  3. Newly wedded Intan
  4. Areng - sebab belom update blog, har har har
  5. Nizar - sama sebab dgn Areng
  6. Newly wedded Elly

Finale Hana Yori - SUGOI!!!!!!!

My favourite snapshot from the last episode - Makino & Dom in the blizzard

HYD 2 finale was superb.
Armed with tissue paper and intense concentration, I can't help but ooohing and aahing over the last episode. With the strong urge to strangle Umi the traitor, to smack Dom's head until he remembers Makino and being swayed by Utada Hikaru's Flavor Of Life when Dom finally remembers, chou amai!!!! (I doubt that that's the correct term for sweet -_-;)
Getting so worked p over a drama - I don't know if I could survive if they make Hana Yori Dango 3 x_x



忘れかけていた人の香りを 突然思い出す頃
Wasurekakete ita hito no kaori wo Totsuzen omoidasu goro
Right around the time we start to forget the fragrance of our love, we suddenly remember
降り積もる雪の白さをもっと 素直に喜びでいよう
Furitsumoru yuki no shirosa wo motto Sunao ni yorokobi de iyou
Let’s be more honest and enjoy the white snow piling up.
ダイアモンドよりも軟らかくて 温かな未来
Diamond yorimo yawarakakute Atataka na mirai
Our future that’s warm and softer than diamond
手にしたいよ限りある時間を 君と過ごしたい
Te ni shitai yo kagiri aru jikan wo Kimi to sugoshitai
I want the rest of the time there is; I want to spend them with you.
Flavor of Life: Utada Hikaru

300 Askar Berani Mati

I know I have to choke up my laughter everytime any movie starts in the cinema.

Why?

Because they keep on translating the movie title to something that made my laughing nerve twitch. Why can't they just leave the title of 300 to just 300? Instead they add 300 Askar Berani Mati. Okay let's get to the movie.

Based loosely on the war that happened on the plains of Thermopylae, when King Leonidas of Sparta defended the only road for the Persians to use when they wanted to invade Greece. Most would say that 300 have a hint of Sin City in it. Of course, it was based on the comic by Frank Miller - who's responsible for Sin City.

The movie starts with the narration from Dilios about Sparta tradition of warriors and about King Leonidas. The story went on on how the war began when messenger from Persia came with the message 'Earth and Water' - meaning cooperation or conquer. For one, King Leonidas have a big problem in kneeling (*cough) and so despite the Oracle's prediction not to go to war during one of their sacred festivals, Leonidas went away as he said, 'for a walk' with 300 of his finest warriors who have sons to carry their lines.

Imagine 300 against 1,000,000.

Interesting isn't it?

The battle scene was great, good coordination among the warriors and of course some of them even have the gall to laugh when they were showered with arrows from the Persians. That would be Stelios and Astinos, young Sparta Warriors who bonded during the war. I definitely would want to watch it again. Historical battle movie is my cup of tea ^_^

One comment.
6 & 8-packs galore
0.o such an eyeful o.0
*swoon* *drools*

I almost could not identify Rodrigo Santoro being Xerxes >_<
David Wenham - love him as Faramir in LOTR
Gerard Butler - my Atilla the Hun, hehe

Happy Holiday!!!

Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

School holiday starts today - since class finished at 1.15pm. Of course, it is the much awaited holiday - 10 days of off day and no classes. It only ends there. The so called holiday is filled with assignments that are due after school opens which is on 18th March. I've listed it down and found out there are about 11 assignments to prepare. Uwahhhhhhh majide? >_<;

Nevertheless, I would still be able to dl all the previous episodes of Mago-Mago Arashi and Arashi No Shukudaikun ^_^.

Happy holiday!!!
(to those who are on holiday anyway, hehehe)

"止まった時間は夕暮れ
Tomatta jikan wa yuugure
Time stopped at twilight

僕らの未来を照らす
Bokura no mirai wo terasu
Our future was illuminated"

Obituary To A friend

Woke up to the message from one of my friends Rob a.k.a Jellycrush that one of our AE friends had passed away.

PJ,
All the time I've known you - since 2003, you were lively, always teasing and sometimes could be such a pervert. Although we have a huge age gap, it felt like age is just a number that people fuss about. Knowing you were gone, it is almost unbelievable when I had just seen you chatting away in AE 2 weeks ago. We've lost you to diabetes, you went away in your sleep. Goodbye my friend.

Lesson of 5 Balls

Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

Sorry but this post is a recycled one from my early posts in 2004. Some of you may have read it before, and some may haven't. Then again the lesson is a good reminder n my life - still is even if I am juggling hard in some part.

I read a James Patterson's book titled Suzanne's Diary for Nicholas and I've come across the lesson of 5 balls. It is more or less like this:-

Imagine that you are a juggler juggling 5 balls that represents things that matters most in life ~ family, friends, health, integrity and work. You try hard to balance all 5 balls but then you finally understand that work is a rubber ball. If you drop it, it will bounce back but family, friends, health and integrity is made of glass. If you drop one of it, it might be nicked, scarred and sometimes even shattered. Once you know the meaning of this lesson, you might see life in a different perspective.

Since I read that line from the book, I was thinking that James Patterson is right. It's the people that you care for most matters and not the career or material possession that you have. You can always get a new job even its hard to do so but if you lost a person that you love most or with your close friends in a fight and get them back after sometime, it won't be as it was before. There would always be a scar in the relationship. Loved ones will be skittish and friends would always have the feeling of mistrust when you dropped them from your juggling.

Friends.
I'm not such a good updater, I know that I tend to lose touch with my old friends. Making new friends, reacquainting with old friends that I consider my life-long friends that I could trust my life to them. Sometimes I feel that I want to round my friends up in a huge gathering. My friends from primary school, secondary, matric, university and work. Being an adult, it sure makes you think about responsibilities.

Let's not forget about health.
Of course we have lots of issues in this part. Irregular food intake with unbalance diet eg: too much protein, too much carbohydrate, too much sugar and all that - thanks to Dr. Phil and Co. prescriptions for weight conscious people. As humans, it is rare to find a human that is really really satisfied in how they looked like. The thin would want to be fuller and even some bizarre occurrence, be thinner and skeleton-like. The full figured would want to be thinner and of course even some bizarre notion, be fuller. Why can't someone just be satisfied as long as they are healthy and fit? This is the era for desk-jockeys who rarely move their rear from their seat and then come the prescription of pills which some actually had claimed some lives. Some took the easiest way when actually there is no shortcut in being healthy. Exercise moderately is the keyword as well as balanced diet.

Family.
Parents, siblings, spouse, child. We tend to be so busy that we forget about them. Simple phone calls, visits could bridge the gap. We can't predict the life-span of each human. Some have longer life-span and some might no even have the opportunity to see tomorrow. Cherish your family as you are not able to replace them in any way once they are gone.

Integrity.
Everyone have integrities, people's perception upon them. Can you trust a policeman who takes bribe to take care of your safety? Can you trust a doctor who does not know which ends of a scalpel to use to operate on you? Can you trust a teacher who acts inappropriately to teach you child daily? Integrity is valuable and once you lost this you may not even able to raise your face up proud.

I'm trying to live by the lesson of 5 balls and even if sometimes it is hard to make everyone happy at the same time but I try to. You never know how much time you have left to keep on juggling.

Clean Off Time

Seems that it has been ages since I upload the images from my phone to my laptop. It's funny to see that I actually have lots of memorable pictures in it, hehe.

So... what do we have here...

Right after the raya visit, my cousin Dayah and I went to the hairdresser to get our hair done. I cut may hair while she went for a wash. You can see her weekly on Nescafe Kick Start on Saturdays at 7pm, TV3. The younger sister that I wish I never have - hahaha kidding. Love you bunch cousin.
