my gift for you

my gift for you
for all the prayers
for all the sacrifices
for all the inspiration
for all the wise words
have i made your dream come true
have i made you on top of the world
have i made you worthy to their eyes
have i shown them we are special
have i shown them you are the best ratu and romo
for i won’t be here without you
never would have exist without your existence
never would have be without the ties that bind
the sweetest tears
the proudest smile
the sparkle in your eyes
have i made you happy
for that one moment
have i shown you
the gift
of my love

talk about religious harmony


I was aware of the many children singing at the top of their lungs in the rooms opposite the theatre where the convention was held. But I was not aware that those children were from the church. Haha. Talk about religious harmony.

Interpret it any way you want. It just makes me more Islamically identified, more than ever. How opposites attract they say, on the same destinations following different paths. Wait, never on the same destinations. it’s always either left or right.

da’watic motivation on the run~

Went to IIU last friday for the purpose of collecting convocation robe. It’s been quite awhile walking the familiar steps of IIU. I missed those. It felt almost like home being back in IIU.

Met shasha and far, first persons i met there. A warm welcome. i wanted to surprise them initially, but that didn’t happen. Oh well, still, my relief having get to meet them. What with cousin Aili back in Singapore. Lord, i missed sitting at HS talking to them, missed being with them.

Met with the new MRC of Halimah, I could almost see the enthusiasm and willing commitment in their faces. I pray that they can do better and achieve much more for Halimah. I really pray so. Already they were busy with their merdeka programmes. May their hard work and mrc days be the most memorable for them.

Met with Halimah SG girls. pity we couldn’t spend more time. missed having dinner at halimah with you girls!!

My heartiest thanks to Shasha, for letting me spend the night. To Far and Syaspec for being with me for robe collecting. I really would not have made it through without the three of you. love you girls!

will be back there again this friday for rehearsal. 032 mates, this could be our last midnight journey back to IIU. mantan rumah kedua…

Agenda for the next few days

15th August:

Collect the names and collate the data of people coming to the MMC 2007.
It’s tedious!! I spent nine hours receiving calls after calls and emails after emails, and fax after fax, and recording them down. And merge adresses.
Since I’ve started working, I’ve begun to practically ‘love’ MS Excel, and i know how to ‘merge’ letters, and i know that Ctrl + F will make you find a word without having to scroll down through 80 pages of MS Word document and whatnots. oh yes, learn to ‘pressure’ others just so my job will be easier.

Meet Zaimah, collect the tracer and whatever slips for her convo robe. @causeway point

16th August:

Do more of those data collecting.
Remember to book your bus tix!!

17th August:

Off to KL!! haha, feels like holiday~

But before all these……
Congratulation to Al-Ma’arif and IIUM senior -Kak Hairiah for tying the knot with the Singing Imam of Singapore Abg Sofyan!!! (she’s gorgeous and the wedding look grand in pink!)

The JOURNEY we (me, sue lee n mary) went through for kak hairiah’s wedding!! Tampines has always been a sesat-prone area for me, the jungle of flats there!! we were practically walking in circles. seriously!! complicated seh area!! pusing-pusing, seberang sana seberang sini, block 490 nampak, 497 nampak, 490 nampak, tapi 491 is nowhere to be seen, let alone 491D. We do come across 489M, for God’s sake! rupa-rupanye, kalau jalan terus ajer, dah bole sampai daaa. paham? tak paham kan? kiter pun tak paham area tampines! hulu beb!!

A Sikh talk at muis during lunch. I was grinning my face throughout the talk. the feeling of sitting listening to a ‘lecture’ is so nostalgic. and a talk on religion! i missed learning! don’t care they were things i already know from Dr Kamar’s classes, i still thirst for anything religions. the only thing that made me smile today.

back to basics

loving linkin park at the mo. got to admit that it’s the band which has truly ‘convert’ me to loving the genre of songs am listening now. teenage crush on chester. they’ve gone emo, but who cares, as long as they and all the other bands keep on making some good songs. and does it matter what songs i listen to??
why the heck am i telling you this??

dyan!! you got to see avenged sevenfold!!! lucky you!!! *sulksulk*

Leave Out All The Rest

I dreamed I was missing
You were so scared
But no one would listen
Cause no one else cared

After my dreaming
I woke with this fear
What am I leaving
When I’m done here

So if you’re asking me
I want you to know

When my time comes
Forget the wrong that I’ve done
Help me leave behind some
Reasons to be missed

And don’t resent me
And when you’re feeling empty
Keep me in your memory

Leave out all the rest
Leave out all the rest

Don’t be afraid
I’ve taken my beating
I’ve shared what I made

I’m strong on the surface
Not all the way through
I’ve never been perfect
But neither have you

So if you’re asking me
I want you to know

Forgetting
All the hurt inside
You’ve learned to hide so well

Pretending
Someone else can come and save me from myself
I can’t be who you are

what did i miss???

what did i miss? what did i miss??!

hehe, reading blogs of the girls, it seemed i missed out on alot!! lord, i miss them.
it truly has been happy days for some. like syaspec…..suspekkkk! haha. that is one news i never expected to read in the blogs!! Syaspec?!! apakah benar apa yang ku baca?? hehe.

oh lagi satu kawan2, kalau ada yang nak gi majlis kak hairiah, do tell me lah…but am free from 11- 1.00 pm aje, after 1.00 have to teach at an-nahdhah~

Happy National Day part 2

despite the laments and thoughts of previous post. i did go out! alas to compass point~ but still, dapat jalan-jalan beb!!

and sue lee, haha yeah, now that you mention it (tag board) i really do have to be content with the mrt and nel here. remembering the small and sardinic human packed lrt back in kl is a nightmare.

i did go to compass point with the initial plan to just window shopping but i ended up buying a pair of shoes! which is at a good bargain, and comfy vincci for the too much walking to and at work. and then i bought a book, no, two books at that! cecelia ahern’s A place called here and Amanda Quick’s Second sight. both authors have elements of supernatural and magic in them. I liikke! there’s actually more books out there that i want to buy, but i told myself, as long as i have some bucks to splurge, i will spend not more than $50 on books. well, at the mo, that is. haven’t told Ma i bought two books. not that she’s against it, but she would ‘advice’ me that the money spent on books could buy me two pairs of nice blouses. Alamak ma, can’t help it la when it comes to books!! i can live without pretty skirts and chunky rings, but not books. especially when i know i can spare $17 on a good book.

and spent on an adidas women’s deodorant. Nice smell, makes me feel perky and raving to do any tasks given. its a motivation when you’re working on datelines and your bestfriend is the pc.

and tv was ok. there’s persona non grata, a slow mo malay movie with the most talked about post-break up couple erra fazira and hans isaac. i noticed the movie doesn’t have much dialogue, more on expressions and and monologous two word conversations. erra’s portrayal as an amnesiac -lost in thailand- rich girl who paints is not that strong. but this is the movie you get to see her in xl shirts and pants and less make-up. there’s two singaporean actors in there, keagan kang and ronnie tan@nicholas lee.

and live the dream. alamak, don’t make me talk on this. how can eka mairina got in again??? she already won anugerah, got album, and won awards in APM 07, what more does she wants? give the chance to others la!! there’s more talented contestants in the audition, why she again?? didn’t they check her profile? she’s practically living a dream! bleh.

so, no reading of great transformation, no watching charmed online, (but am doing it in a while) and sewing, in my dreams~

and watching NDP always manage to bring out the patriot in me. the rare moments of actually feeling proud of being a singaporean. singing the national anthem and pledge, watching the march, and the fireworks, even though only on tv, we could almost feel the shared moment of celebrating the nation’s best, and everyone in red/white, you feel one with fellow countrymen.
that we are, after all, singaporeans.

long live the nation.

and congratulations to KAK MIZAH for her newborn baby girl!!! national day baby!!!

ps: bet the assiiumers have their own celebration back in IIU. Happy national day, zha, and to all!!!

Happy National Day

looking forward to the national day holiday. i can for once relax and not think anything!!
Well, yeah for most people who would be spending their day out, shopping or *sulk* singing-fest, you know that singfest and some of the coolest bands coming down performing!! Sugar Ray! Avenged Sevenfold! but i don’t have $200 to spare for concerts. gaji pun belum dapat! My avenged sevenfold~

do i really want to spend the holiday at home??
1. there will be crowds everywhere and i tell you its crowds. ok. i happen to dislike having to make a beeline walking down orchard road, and just people everywhere lah. it’s ironic how a small island like singapore can have humonguous number of people. you think that when almost 30 000 people goes to the national day parade, and few thousands more at Singfest, there’ll be less people everywhere else. but i won’t guarantee on that.

2. there’ll be no decent place to eat since everywhere else is full.

3. dread to take the human-packed mrt.

4. not that many cash to splurge. though i could get myself a pair of new shoes, a good book (book?? great transformation tak habis lagik!!) a new bag also sounds good. get some polar cakes somewhere, or oh yeah, donuts. 8days this week tells on some of the best places to get donuts. yeah…one at ang mo kio hub~

5. movies would be a bad idea. will be fully booked for sure.

there’ll be nothing much at home, except for a neighbour who got engaged, and tv also nothing much, what, apm 2007 (dah basi) and lagi senario(ai? takde citer lain ker??) boring meh.

though i could spend my day watching Charmed series online. or read up great transformation, or even start doing some sewing for myself. or dread the translation thingy i might have to do.
Anyone interested to translate a document?? English to Malay?? Paid of course.

24 hours is so not enough to do everything.

beloved mrc has a new line up. and some good people in it. I really hope they will do their best to maintain the good name of our mrc. please Lord, help them on their noble journey.

HAPPY NATIONAL DAY!!
