i need you now

dont know what is up with me and this song. it was popular awhile ago, but i couldnt care less. but been playing this song in my mind for a few days and everytime i listen to this song, i miss my husband more. haha.

and watching the video, where at the end the singers met their partners, i always imagined it was me and husband. merepek kan. haha, apa2 ajelah seri ni :p

a rock dream

done my normal half day friday of housechores and lanudry. i am actually happily doing it because for once i dont have to rush doing things because of having to catch up on some work, lesson plans to think of or the kabutness of having to find relief or a saturday to worry about. it is such a relief. a saturday without all this is really precious to me. and hubby.

march has been chaos. what else is new eh? but i hope everything will work out well. With the revival of the reading room which i am quite passionate about. and the maulid coming up and sports day. God, please give me enough time to do all this. insya Allah.


so on to happier things. I might be going to watch Ella Live!!! i love ella from since the Ella and the boys time, i was like, still a young kid then. I’ve always loved her rockish attitude, her hair (always wanted hair like hers) and the boots!! i think i’m quite influenced by her attitude and that love for boots haha. i just love her la. and no other female singer rock wannabe can be her. so i guess, i might be going. albeit her concert with awie, but well… i think she can have a concert on her own. still, good than never yea?

and yes, im saving up to get that dr M boots. yes i will.

holding on

here is me
feeling further
by the minute
terribly far
and lost

scared and unknowing
is this a fate
or is this a test

for who can deny His Will
and would me believing
in this doom fate
be a salvation of faith

i yearn for
a fulfilled heart
a fulfilled soul
a fulfilled mind

please don’t let me fall
please don’t push me away

Lord,
please let me hold on to You
please let me be amidst Your love
please let me be strong

let me be in this fear
for all i know
its a message of love

right?

always be there

in an attempt to find some suitable songs which can be played in class, i found maher zain. and i have to say his songs are good, music and lyric wise. just today i had to teach about friends and being there and relating to a qudsi tradition, i thought maher zain’s always be there is the right song to play along. and i’m hooked. for the time being.

on side track, i had the chance to watch Julia and Julie out of bored-ness, and it’s such a good nice feeling movie and i have all these ‘awww’ moments in the movie! marriage, a husband, a house, cooking for the husband….they make it look so simple and fun~ and i have this “gee-i can’t wait” feeling. hehehe:)

so am a certified couch potato, only for today, tonight. am on to night at the museum ii. got to enjoy this!

signing off,
seri @ her random

hari hijau

green day was superb!

that was six years ago and they still rocked the concert 6 years down the lane. for being in the scene for 2 decades, surely they have fans from two generations at least. i cant help noticing fathers and sons bonding @ a concert.

and listening to green day is just not the same anymore after listening and watching them live.

and no i did not forget Y*una

and after the whole load of burden taken off and the excitement of checking out the very very competitive industry of wedding services.

we get to finish off the week with Y*una LIVE. so much for going for a 10th anniversary m*occ*a performance, we’re there @ SAM for Y*una~ and we love it! there were four local performances to start off, well good to know we do have talents, and apart from the drums and guitars, i don’t really understand what is it they were singing. it’s either the music’s too loud or they don’t sing clear enough (redundant seh seri) but anyway….

…you’ve got to love this girl! she sings real well (and clear at that), down to earth and her band members are all talented guys~

although it’s a bit unusually different to have a mini concert at an auditorium albeit smaller than expected, and the room not even half full!!

hope for the misery

i do not want to lament about work. because as much as i am so stressed out with work, there are other people out there who are have much more responsibilities, more time spent at work, more rushing for reports and whatever, so much more than i could ever have. it’s not just me who are working, but probably billions of people out there, who are facing the same busy mode as me.

but i have to say, these days, i’ve been putting up a calm face, smile and listen to whatever has been discussed meetings after meetings with utter concentration and focus, when in reality, i’m just fighting tears and headaches. i think i have never been this stressed out about work. my work is already chaotic, add up to being one staff down and me taking over for until the new kid comes in, like double work already!!!! no, triple work!!! it’s too much la seh~

and still i have to move on. i mean, no point whining or complaining right? i’ve always been that, Take it all in, and just do it. to h*** whatever happen.

because only i can do it. (that’s another thing, people seems to think i can do it, when sometimes i wonder what if i actually can’t?)

art folly random

definitely a nice feeling to be awaken to a nice sunny day(despite the heat), looking out to the green park and breathe fresh air, and not have to go to work! haha!

some very random thoughts to fill up the space.

  • spent the first half of the day doing bits and pieces of what i’ve always wanted to do since started working at the mosque, and havent had the chance to. the room looks more…well like a girls room …
  • helped to clear the kitchen and ….
  • was thinking of doing more of the gifts deco but ended up…
  • reading The White Tiger (Aravind Adiga). speaking of which, i just realized i tend to enjoy Man Booker Prize-d novels…
  • and i still prefer Yuna to Zee Avi
  • 4 more weekends to go
  • and i’m actually doing the Gifts do-it-yourself way!! and i think it turned out pretty nice with some hot glue and laced ribbons here and there and you have a themed set of Gifts.
  • and then i remembered i have many other things to do work-related but i refuse to do anything…
  • because i’ll be working on the weekends. (right…welcome to working saturdays AND sundays, albeit half day) just like the ‘good’ old days — although i hope this will change come July

and throughout all the chaosness,


i had the opportunity to appreciate art although very much a newbie and knowing pretty much zilch of what’s in the scene…thanks to dear with the heart of gold~

there’s orchestra on Final Fantasy, and since our seat was on the second floor(or was it the third?), we got a good view of the screen where they show scenes from the many Final fantasy episodes and a bird’s eye view of the talented talented musicians.
(i think they should soon have one on Lotr + orchestra!)

first time ever watching the performance of young shaolin martial arts, although very much contemporary.

and tricky Seven Boards of Tricks. i mean seriously tricky. with triangle and square boards to make whatnots..although we got pretty sleepy since some of the songs were in chinese and we can’t for the heck of it understood what it all meant.

i know there are meanings behind every moves and dances but i couldn’t figure it out, just like the cullberg ballet..although there’s some sort of a storyline which i could follow but in all i can appreciate just how much talent and the energy and time put in to come up with a 100 minutes performance. all those passion they put in. pretty amazing. never had the chance to view performances before but it’s a ‘new breath of air’ to be able to catch and see what’s the hype is all about. have always wanted to experience them and you have given me that chance. thank you.
