I lost sight when I was alone in the falling rain

if I'm not noticed, I might still be in the void

let's stretch out this hand, don't look back

I want to be at your side
I want you to let be me at your side
just as it is, If I could live on
I will surely take that hand, and I can fly wherever it is
as long as I'm with you, till faraway land just as it is

each truth are clashing and become chaos
if everyone is shedding the same tears

if I stretch out this hand, we might understand each other

I always want to feel
the warmth which is carved in this hand is yours, something that I found with you
each of unchanged matters started to change differently
just as it is, I will receive all

someday, we won't be seeing each other, even if I let go this hand
I won't forget, because I'm not forgetting I can fly wherever it is

I am thinking of you
always, I am at your side
just as it is, if I can live on
now I want to be at your side
I want you to let be me at your side
just as it is, because I can live on

Everyone in the world is familiar with television as more than 90 percent of the people especially from the developed countries have at least one of them at home (Sharif 1999). It is said to be the most popular form of entertainment compared to radio as television provides visual images that manage to fascinate the audience, both young and old (Leigh 2001). Through television it is possible for us to know so many things without leaving the comfort of our homes. According to American Time Use Survey (2003), people, mostly men, spent most of their time watching television. This shows how human beings cannot be separated from technology like television that improves their material standard of living, yet this kind of technology has caused a lot of problems in our world today. Watching television can create addiction that leads to extensive viewing. This has been an issue for quite a long time as it brings bad effects mainly to our future generation such as affecting the children's thinking process, creating bad behaviour in the children and worsening the health problem.

Extensive viewing of television can affect the development of the children’s thinking process (Sharif 1999). It is said to be a passive activity as most people are not using their brains to work. Moreover, they describe television as a kind of an entertainment rather than information as television shows nowadays are full with drama series and games. The same goes to children where there are plenty of cartoon shows that are played on the television. This will eventually affect the capability of the children to develop their own imagination, situations and make-believe worlds which are an important skill for problem solving and organisational ability (Leigh 2001). On the other hand, television allows children to think that all problems can be solved easily but when they come across with a real life situation, things are not the same as they see and at the end they become frustrated and give up easily in life (Sharif 1999). Most importantly it is difficult for the children to focus on things like homework or exercise when the television is on (Leigh 2001). “Dr. Geraldine Jones, an educational psychologist, is convinced that children who are heavy viewers are among the lowest achievers at school” (Leigh 2001, pp. 24-25). This proves that watching television for a long period does affect the children school performances.

Subsequently, as television is a format of visual image, it can create bad behaviour of the children as they can easily imitate or follow what the television taught them. They always think that everything that comes out from the television is a good example to resemble. “There have been instances where children have put on Superman costumes and injured themselves seriously by jumping out of trees” (Sharif 1999, p. 34). Most of the children are left alone when watching the television without any guidance from an elder. This can create a misconception in the children minds where they think that people are characterized as either ‘good’ or ‘bad’, girls are shown as decorative and sexy while boys are future as rugged and tough (Sharif 1999). Other than that, violence are said to be depicted on television where most of the shows aired are graphic scenes of violence (Sharif 1999). In the UK Times Use Survey (2000), it shows that males spent a lot of time, either during the weekday or weekend, watching television, video and radio. This proves that why most of the criminals in the world are male. Some may think that violence is the fastest way to solve problems (Sharif 1999). If this problem is not taken seriously, our future children will live in a rotten world.

The worse problem is the health of the children which prolonged periods of watching television shows that children are not physically active (Sharif 1999). They do not have time to indulge in sports or school activity as they like being in front of the television. They do not see this as a time-wasting activity even though it takes away the time for them to study (Rutherford 2002). Reports about television mainly focus on the detrimental effects that make the health problem aggravate (Leigh 2001). Surprisingly, most families nowadays eat their meals in front of the television and because of its invasive nature; communication is hardly to occur (Rutherford 2002). “It is a sedentary activity and, when indulged in with snacks, can cause obesity and related diseases” (Rutherford 2002, p. 14).

In a nutshell, it is important for the children to have less exposure on the television as it affects the development of the children thinking process. Other than that, it creates bad behaviour in the children as they can easily imitate a character they like from the television. In addition, extensive viewing can also cause health problem as children are doing less physical activity. Therefore, television does bring more harm than good if it is watch for a long period of time.

A LONG-awaited international study of the health risks of mobile phones has linked extended mobile phone use to an increased risk of developing brain tumours.


The 10-year Interphone study, the world's biggest study of the health effects of mobile phones, found while there was no increased risk of cancer overall, those in the top 10 per cent of phone use are up to 40 per cent more likely to develop glioma, a common type of brain cancer.

Just 30 minutes of mobile talk time daily was enough to put participants into the top 10 per cent category in the study, carried out in 13 countries, including Australia, and involving more than 5000 brain cancer patients worldwide.

The International Agency for Research on Cancer, which conducted the study and has repeatedly delayed its publication, summarised the findings by saying there were "suggestions of an increased risk of glioma, and much less so meningioma, in the highest decile (10 per cent) of cumulative call time, in subjects who reported phone use on the same side of the head as their tumour".

It added "biases and errors limit the strength of the conclusions that can be drawn . . . and prevent a causal interpretation".




But the finding - reported by British newspapers yesterday ahead of its official scheduled release this week - has nevertheless ignited controversy among cancer experts, neurologists and other scientists.



Australian neurosurgeons Charlie Teo and Vini Khurana said last night the findings were a concern. "Despite the study's methodological limitations that biased it towards finding nothing, the heaviest users were found to be at significantly higher risk of glioma, which is consistent with our message," Drs Teo and Khurana told The Australian.



"This (finding) does concern us, but it's also an impetus to do two things: the mobile phone industry has to supply the actual hours logged, and we need to track brain tumour incidence in Australia."



Other experts sought to reassure the public over the findings. IARC director Christopher Wild said an increased risk of brain cancer was "not established from the data from Interphone".



"However, observations at the highest level of cumulative call time and the changing patterns of mobile phone use since the period studied by Interphone, particularly in young people, mean that further investigation of mobile phone use and brain cancer risk is merited," Dr Wild said.

Although modern mobile phones have greatly reduced emissions the authors said phone use now was "much more prevalent and it is not unusual for young people to use mobile phones for an hour or more a day".

Industry group the Australian Mobile Telecommunications Association also emphasised the study found no increased risk overall, and its conclusion was "in line with the weight of scientific opinion, which has found no substantiated scientific evidence of any adverse health effects".

The study's authors said there was "reasonable doubt" about the credibility of some patients' estimates of their phone use, which in 38 cases amounted to over five hours per day, and 12 hours or more per day in 10 cases. People with cancer were much more likely to report these very high usage rates than other study participants without cancer who were included as controls.

my comments :
it seems like mobile phone and cigarette have something in common : both contribute to health problems but we can't stop ourselves to prevent the usage of mobile compared to ciggar....
nowadays, not only adults use them kids too...
they are exposed with this kind of technology at an early age and what i'm concern is that how can we overcome cancer problem if we encourage the usage.....tech and human can't be sepearted....
i use my phone mainly for messaging and as a replacement of my mp3....and i started using it at the age of 18, compared to my younger brothers they had it early than me....why??

we can't stop the usage but we can't minimize the time we had with it....~_~

Change


I won’t be bent and I won’t be dragged along

I want to stay honest to how I feel now

Change

No matter how many times I’m reborn

I will embrace my sadness

As I run

I was sad when you betrayed me

But you couldn’t catch me, I’m right here

It’s not enough and there’s no end to it

Try to distort me even more

This is such a crazy world,

Sometimes it makes me lose sight of who I am

Do you want to leave the traditional ways?

Just don’t make that decision for me

I’m going down my own path

Just standing around here, waiting

Never try to start anything



Change

I won’t be bent and I won’t be dragged along

I want to stay honest to how I feel now

I won’t let you have your way

Change

No matter how many times I’m reborn

I will embrace my sadness

As I run

Never again will I

return to your side

I’m going to do things the way I want to

I WANNA CHANGE

We've seen


The power to change the future

In our dreams

I can hear your cries within the noise

I laughed at it and it only dispose all of my weaknesses

Only you can know where you were heading

While chasing a different skies

We wished for the courage to face the future

You kept on smiling

While being lost in the past

Until you can return to the real present

The first time I want to know about you

I was scared at how far the distance between our hearts

Just by understanding any misunderstoods

We can start forward

I wanted to hold your tears and pains

But if I run I become restless as I run further

How far do I have to keep on running... ...

I can hear your songs within the noise

and I started to see my disappearing self

Please give me the strength to change the future

Where I'm supposed to walk alone

I can fly very high

Just because of your smile

We wished for the courage to link our hearts

To keep on smiling with you

While being lost in love

Until I can return to the real me

The word ‘junk food’ is mainly used to describe any food that contains low nutritional value which includes take away foods, pre-packaged meals, and sugary snack food (Tran 2005). Statistics shows that, for the past 30 years, the nutritional value of food taken by the Australian children had fall gradually (Tran 2005). Now, even worse more than 50% of Australian children prefer to buy junk foods for their lunch (Tran 2005). ‘It is believe that the habit of eating junk foods will bring bad effects in the children’s’ behaviour’ (Smith 2005, p.3). They blame a lot of people including the school canteen. Thus, the sale of junk food in school canteen should be banned as junk food is unhealthy, create a bad eating habit and litter problems.


Junk food is said to be unhealthy as it contains low nutritional value which comes from the chemical additives that helps to enhance the flavour and colour (Smith 2005). These additives can cause behavioural problems especially in children (Smith 2005). The problem is made worse by the fact that most young people do not get enough physical activity (Tran 2005). This can lead to an increase in childhood obesity (Smith 2005). According to The Food Show (2005), Caputo said that, research had shown that by reducing the unhealthy food in the children diets can improve their behaviour. Other than that, by offering foods high in fat and sugar, school canteens are actually contributing to the problem of youth weight gain (Tran 2005). Therefore, avoiding the children from buying junk foods by banning the sales of it is the best way for the children to stop.

Moreover, junk food creates bad habits in the children’s lifestyle if it is taken continuously. Other than that, consuming junk food in an excess might stop the children from taking healthy meal either at school or home. Based on the Australian Nutrition Journal in 2004, the percentage of children eating fat and sugar more than the recommended intake in 2003 is bigger than the percentage intake for fresh fruit and vegetables in the same year. If this continues to happen, our children might be suffering from a lot of health problems. Thus, it is important for them to understand that they have to make the right choice of eating.

Lastly, fast food packaging is the major contributor to litter problems (Smith 2005). In The Food Show (2005), Green noted that, when junk foods were sold at the canteen the school had a major problem with litter – there were cans, crisp packets, cantons and plastics container everywhere. Furthermore, it increases the cleaning costs and gives bad image of our communities (Smith 2005). Therefore, banning the sales of junk foods would really help preventing the children from buying them.

In a nut shell, it is important for the children to eat a healthy meal in their daily life. In The Food Show (2005), Green noticed that, there are improvements in the students’ behaviour in class when the sales of junk food are removed from the school canteen. The most important is that the eating habits of the children will change. Other than that, the litter problems too can be resolve. Therefore, the sale of junk food in school canteens should be banned.

I HOPE YOU LIKE IT ~_~

Seismologist David Love from PIRSA says most of our quakes don't follow faultlines, so there's no point reaching for a map.

A SEISMIC expert says Friday night's earthquake is a portent of things to come and that another "1954-style earthquake" is certain to hit the city.

"The truth of the matter is that the earthquakes occur all over the place, regardless of where the faultlines ," he said.

"It's somewhat different from California, where you can see most of the earthquakes happen on major faultlines that they know are moving."

The South Australian earthquakes are "spread out far and wide", though there are "more on the hills than on the flats".

Dr Love said it was quite common for people to be able to hear and see an earthquake without feeling it. He said the earthquake compression waves were equivalent to sound waves. As the waves come up through the ground it is possible to hear low-frequency sound waves.

"It does sound like a rumbling as it comes and goes," he said.

"When you are closer it tends to be more a big boom sound, but what people actually hear is a probably a little subjective and probably depends on where they are and what they are doing."

People were jolted from their sleep when a magnitude 3.8 quake - the state's strongest in more than 20 years - struck just south of Mt Barker at 11.27pm on Friday. Its shockwaves were felt across the state.

It was the largest of four tremors that had struck close to Adelaide in the past 19 days, with three recorded near Kuitpo, including a 1.9 magnitude tremor on April 2.

Australian Seismological Centre director Kevin McCue said it was only "a matter of time" before SA experienced a repeat of the 5.5 magnitude quake of 1954 that caused $70 million damage across Adelaide.

"I think we probably haven't seen the worst yet, but the probability would be pretty small that it will happen in our lifetime," he said.

"But in places like Adelaide, very few buildings are designed to resist earthquakes.

"A 1954-style earthquake will happen at some stage in the future and Adelaide will be damaged. It's just a matter of time."

Mr McCue said SA experienced at least one magnitude 3.8 quake a year, and Adelaide faced the greatest risk of earthquake damage out of any major capital city due to its large number of volatile fault lines.
He said Friday's quake was a call to communities and authorities to be better prepared in the event of a more destructive tremor.

"This is the fourth relatively small earthquake in just a few weeks, which is unusual," he said.

"This earthquake was possibly up to a magnitude of even four and it's only the depth (of the quake) that saved you from damage.

"I think at the moment there is a high probability of an earthquake in this same area of the Adelaide metropolitan area.

"I think people like the state emergency services should be looking at their procedures again and what they need to be doing to respond to an earthquake.

"People who manage schools and hospitals ought to also be making sure they are not vulnerable."

However Mr Love said people should not be alarmed that Friday's seismic activity indicated something more sinister to come.

"We've got no way of predicting them and there hasn't been a particularly large number and nothing that should stand out," Mr Love said.

"There's always the chance of something bigger, but the probability of that really is quite low.

"If there are a lot of these in the next couple of months some people might get upset, but this is close enough to normal, except we don't usually have then down here, we usually see them up in the Flinders."

Mr Love said Friday's seismic activity was about 20km underground.

Police and emergency services were inundated with emergency calls from across the state as people near the epicentre reported the sound of an "explosion".

More than 500 calls were logged within hours of the quake hitting, with shockwaves felt up to 100km away and as far as Kangaroo Island, but by the light of day SES had reported no structural damage.

The AdelaideNow website was flooded with more than 1600 comments from people recounting their experiences.

Sharon Butler, 37, husband Scott, 42, and their three young children - Holly, 9, Thomas, 6, and Bethany, 5 - were asleep in their Wistow home when the quake struck.

"It sounded like a roar of thunder then there was a muffled bang and the house shook," Mrs Butler said. "I Googled it today and realised it was an earthquake; it was pretty exciting."

Mt Barker Natural Food Barn worker Patrick Buckley, 59, said he arrived at work yesterday to find stock on his shelves jumbled up and out of place, but hadn't been surprised by the quake.

"I've known that there was going to be some sort of activity so I've adjusted to it. Nostradamus predicted it," he said.

SA is among the state most susceptible to earthquakes and Adelaide, the Mt Lofty Ranges, the Flinders Ranges, the Eyre Peninsula and Mt Gambier are at most risk.

It is believed that normal tectonic-plate movement and pressure caused the quake.

Mr McCue said the Australian tectonic plate was moving north at 7cm a year, nudging with adjoining Eurasian and Pacific plates and increasing stress on this continent.

Furthermore, it increases the cleaning costs and gives bad image of our communities (Smith 2005, p.3). Therefore, banning the sales of junk foods would really help preventing the children from buying them.

In a nut shell, it is important for the children to eat a healthy meal in their daily life. In The Food Show (2005), Green noticed that, there are improvements in the students’ behaviour in class when the sales of junk food are removed from the school canteen. The most important is that the eating habits of the children will change. Other than that, the litter problems too can be resolve. Therefore, the sale of junk food in school canteens should be banned.

The word ‘junk food’ is mainly used to describe any food that contains low nutritional value which includes take away foods, pre-packaged meals, and sugary snack food (Tran 2005 p.6). Statistics shows that, for the past 30 years, the nutritional value of food taken by the Australian children had fall gradually. Now, even worse more than 50% of Australian children prefer to buy junk foods for their lunch. Most parents think that the habit of eating junk foods will bring bad effects in their children behaviour. They blame a lot of people including the school canteen. Thus, the sale of junk food in school canteen should be banned as junk food is unhealthy, create a bad eating habit and litter problems.

Junk food is said to be unhealthy as it contains low nutritional value which comes from the chemical additives that helps to enhance the flavour and colour (Smith 2005). These additives can cause behavioural problems especially in children (Smith 2005). The problem is made worse by the fact that most young people do not get enough physical activity (Tran 2005 p.6). This can lead to obesity among the childhood (Smith 2005). According to The Food Show (2005), Caputo said that, research had shown that by reducing the unhealthy food in the children diets can improve their behaviour. Other than that, by offering foods high in fat and sugar, school canteens are actually contributing to the problem of youth weight gain (Tran 2005 p.6). Therefore, avoiding the children from buying them by banning the sales of junk food is the best way for them to stop.

Moreover, junk food creates bad habit in the children’s lifestyle if it is taken continuously. Other than that, consuming junk food in an excess might stop the children from taking healthy meal either at school or home. Based on the Australian Nutrition Journal on 2004, the percentage of children eating fat and sugar more than the recommended intake has increases. If these continue our children might be suffering from a lot of health problems. Thus, it is important for them to understand that they have to make the right choice of eating.

Fast food packaging is the major contributing to litter problems (Smith 2005). In The Food Show (2005), Green noted that, when junk foods were sold at the canteen the school had a major problem with litter – there were cans, crisp packets, cantons and plastics container everywhere. Furthermore, it increases the cleaning costs and gives bad image of our communities (Smith 2005). It is said that, most of the school canteens rely on the sale of these foods to make a profit in order to pay the salaries of canteen staff (Smith 2005). They knew that junk food could generate greater profits for them. That is the reason why junk foods are sold cheaper than fresh foods (Smith 2005). They only considering their private benefits rather than the negative externalities they give to the school children and environment. Therefore, banning the sales of junk foods would really help preventing the children from buying them.

In a nut shell, it is important that the children eat a healthy meal in their daily life. Some parents believed that without junk food the student’s behaviour will be improved. The most important is that the eating habits of the children will change. Other than that, the litter problems too can be resolve. Therefore, the sale of junk food in school canteens should be banned.

Sorry for the late closure of my birthday episodes....

Date : 28 March 2010 (Sunday)
Venue : Mid Valley Megamall, Kuala Lumpur
Time : 10.30 a.m.

Like what I've told you before, I did my birthday celebration at Mid Valley and invited some of my friends and including the one that I met during my interview, Hafiz.
I arrive early that day as I was so excited to meet my friends from my previous school. I waited them infront of Jaya Jusco entrance. Syikin called me and said that she has arrived but she want to go to the MPH first to buy something. Hafiz was still on the ktm at that time. At first, there were 3 more of my friends who were going to attend my celebration but unfortunately something came up on the last minute so they only wish me through calls, message and FB. I received they're wishes last night when the clock hit 12 times ~_~
That was the busiest moment...haha...
I had to answer a lots of YM and chats from FB...
Then came the calls and messages....~_~
Back to Mid, We ate Pizza Hut that day, the new one, Chunky Loaded, my brother always ask me for that but I didn't have the time to bring them to Pizza Hut during the last break. I'm not sure if I had told you about this before, Hafiz birthday was before me, that was on 27 of March. So I decided to treat him Pizza but he demanded for a SONY mp3 player, the latest one. I explained to him before that I can't afford to pay for it but then I had a second though of buying it for him before I fly to Australia when he took me to SONY's shop in Mid, I do like the mp3 and I think its ok tu buy it for him but not now as I was saving for the night celebration with my INTI's friend....
Syikin bought us a dessert and I shared it with Hafiz...~_~but we didn't manage to finish it including the pizza so I ask the waiter to pack them up.
I know that Hafiz and his friends wanted to go to PWTC that day as that was the last day for the BOOK FAIR so I asked Syikin if she wants to go to. "NO, sorry katy but I got things to do so I can't be too long" huhu...I understand that everyone is so busy lately, so the celebration end up early...huhu...
But I manage to go to Jusco before we end up the day and bought two lovely cardigan...I'm not sure about the spelling...but it sounds right....haha...and a white T-shirt~_~


Date : 28 March
Venue : INTI's dining hall ~_~
Time : 9.00 p.m.

Second celebration!!!

Thanks To All !!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY KHADIJAH @ KATY!!!

I'm 19 right now, can you believe it??
I always thought that when we were one year older, we're one year wiser....??
hm...I don't remember who taught me that, but I hope it's true.
I know that I'm not good in judging bad and good, but I'm learning slowly...
I think that I can't understand people the way my friends do, I just accept them as what it is...
It's hard for me to change but I believe that I will change someday, now or ever...
I would like to thank for those who did remember this date....28 March
Thanks for the wish you've given, I really appreciate it...
It's time for me to get ready, I'm going out today....and I'm also be going to treat my friends here PIZZA HUT....wait for me girls~_~

What are the potential effects of global warming in terms of climate change and how they can be arrested?


Global warming is a worldwide problem and it seems to be worsening year after year. The Earth’s temperature continues to rise making the climate becomes more erratic, forcing many species into extinction and making life harder. The ten hottest years on record have occurred in the last 14 years and the hottest of all was 2005. (Al Gore 2006). Some people do not want to admit that this problem is serious. It is true that the temperature is rising but the average temperature is quite stable over some periods of time. (Holli Riebeek 2007). However, they did not notice that these small changes in temperature will correspond to an enormous change in environment. Thus, we have to work fast to overcome the potential effects of global warming by finding a way to arrest it.

The most potential effects that we can draw out are the loss of low-lying ground corresponds to the melting of sea ice at the North Pole and South Pole. This includes mountain glaciers, ice sheets covering West Antarctica and Greenland, and Arctic sea ice. (Holli Riebeek 2007). When they melt, they will release a large amount of water to the sea causing an arising of water levels. People who live near to the sea level, such as in Florida might have the chance to lose their homes and even worse their lives. Not only that, the surface of the Earth also changes where some of the grounds are now gone, wipe out by the sea. Al Gore in a documentary entitled “An Inconvenient Truth” which was release on 2006, said that “A friend of mine said in 1978, if you see the breakup of ice shelves along the Antarctica Peninsular, watch out because that should be seen as an alarm bell for global warming”. The breakup of ice has changed the shape of the Antarctica making it smaller and smaller in size. Other places like Greenland also affected. Tony Blair’s scientific advisor has said that the cause of what’s happening in Greenland right now, the maps of the world would have to be redrawn. (Al Gore 2006). Therefore, we have to find a solution before the land is engulfing with water.

Other serious potential effects are the extinction of plants and animals. Overall, species loss is now occurring at a rate 1000 times greater than the natural background. (Al Gore 2006). The poles may become too warm for creatures that live there. This causes the plants and animals may not be able to adapt to their new surroundings. Some will ended up dead and worst extinct. Moreover, a tremendous increase in heat wave has shown a great impact where many people had died because of it. When the ocean gets warmer, it causes a stronger storm. As the water temperature increases, wind’s velocity increases and moisture content of the storm also increases. (Al Gore 2006). Hurricanes such as Katrina were formed and cause many people to suffer. If we cannot find a solution to this problem, sooner or later more deaths will resulted to extinction, not only to the animals and plants but also humans.

To overcome such problem, people’s attitudes have to change first. It is important that they be more conscious in reducing the percentage of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Use less energy for heating or cooling the house as the use of air conditioner releases greenhouse gases. Other than that, less use of cars or any type of vehicle means fewer emissions and it saves fuels. In addition, try to explore your community mass transit system, and check out any options for carpooling. If things continue as they are, we'll soon be using nearly twice of the energy and getting even more of it from fossil fuels. (Chris Woodford 2006). Forest reserve is also important where it produces more and more oxygen so that the balance of the Earth will be stored. Thus, if we manage to work out this problem, the percentage of carbon dioxide could be reduce and in contrast reduces the Earth temperature.



In a nut shell, it is very likely that rising temperatures will lead to more frequent heat waves in the future, and virtually certain that the seas will rise, which could leave low-lying country awash in seawater. Moreover, the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere will continue to increase and Earth will continue to heat up. In other words, global warming will become worse. Warmer temperatures will alter weather patterns that can cause more droughts, rain and even natural disasters like hurricanes. Without drastic action, global warming cannot be resolve. Therefore, it is important that we take good care of our world, the place where we live so that the next generation will not suffer from what we did before. Thus, let us work together for a better future.

Today is my friends birthday, Hafiz. I met him during the JPA interview in Kuantan. He was an MRSM student, if I not mistaken, and he took engineering course. He made it to get scolar from JPA but it was only in Malaysia, I now he works hard for it and compared to me, I think he was better. He asks and answers a lot. What I don't understand is how come he didn't get the scolar to overseas but I do. At first, I really think that I don't deserve it but maybe it is fate that brought me here. Maybe there was a reason for I'm here that me, myself can't understand. Let's put that aside as I'm going to tell you what did I talk with him this weekend, well actually we haven't talk for quite a long time!
It starts on Monday, when I planned to go out on this Sunday, that is 28 March, to celebrate my birthday with my old friend. I don't know what had came up my mind that I was thinking to invite Hafiz along. At first was because I mistakely press a button on my handset were I kept most of the imporatnat date and it shows 27 March. What I know is at that date is Earth Hour of this year. I don't remember his birthday actually and that's when I came to ask him out on Sundays. I told my friends about this on Tuesday and they seem to feel uncomfortable. I think I understand that but I really want Hafiz top join us. So I try to message him that night through the yahoo messanger and he seem to disapointed, he had invited two more of his friend. I was pity to hear that but I suggested him to come along but we will not be going in the same direction. He seems to aggree, I guessed. The next day, that was Wednesday, Sarah called me up. She said she want to change places, she doesn't want to go to Mid Valley so she suggested The Mines. So, I asked my friends in INTI how big is The Mines, but no one knows the exact picture. So, I asked Sarah, does Mines have Jusco?? Well, I was planning to buy something there as Jusco's sale was on until the 2nd of April!!
We had a long talk, me, Sarah and Syikin, and at last we come to a conclusion that we will be meeting at Midvalley. Ah! I forgot to tell you at first there were five were going, but the other two had a problem to come as their place (their study place) had no nearest public transport, in other words, it is hard for them to go out as their place is quite deep into the woods.
Okay, back to Hafiz, he demanded for Sony mp3 player for his birthday, he asked it from me for quite a long time, since with met I guess, and he never give up to ask. Guess how much is the minimum price of the mp3, it's RM200!!! I never bought a present that expensive. So I told him sorry I can't, why not I treat you for a lunch?? He says NO! I said to him that it is too expensive for me to buy such thing to him, at first I was thinking of giving him a shirt or maybe a tie, but then I feel it is good for a lunch as he once asked me for it, and it is not that expensive~_~
He says okay, fine....
I know he was dissapointed again, but when I think of it, I'm not his girlfriend or what so ever, I'm just a friend of coincidence that we met during the interview, that's all. He never asked me to be his girlfriend so why do I care much, not I like him or what, it's just because his date was near to mine and I like that (March).
What ever, I just want a happy happy birthday on this weekend. I don't want anything to spoil it, it's my first time celebrating it with my friends outside...
See all of you tomorrow and HAPPY BIRTHDAY HAFIZ!!!!!

It is not because I'm going back home eventhough I really want it too, but I have made my own plans and I hope it will go on well.
Well, I never had a celebration with my friends before, so I ask my friends to go out on this weekend but I didn't tell them the reason at first. I'm surprised that they still remember the date. ~_~
I'm glad they did, I'm not asking anything but it's enough if there are someone out there who really remember the date without I'm telling them. For some, I kept on give some hint but they seem to ignore it, maybe it is only my feelings but I still think that they don't really remember me. ~_~
I think it has been a quiet long I didn't post anything into this blog ever since my last post on the text production that ms. dil asked me to do. Here I am, during my free time, it's hard to get one this days...haha
The reason obviously because I'm quite busy right now, my final exam is just around the corner and I still have a lot to study. I know how lazy I am last semester and I was hit hard when I receive my last result. Now I know how people were so into it and I'm not. What I mean is that I never been so serious in my life, I learn because I want to and some of them because I had to. I tried to put on a target so that I will try to achieve it and I hope I will. Pray for me~_~.
I'm not feeling very well to night, I'm not sicked but I felt uneasy. I tell you about it....

Last night, I dreamt about my brother, I'm not too sure if it was really him or my imaginary but I really think he was my brother, and I was shocked on what I did to him. My heart feels nothing when doing it, I....cut.....my....brother's.....forehead!!!!
I cut through it and I can see clearly the brain....urgh...I don't know what I'm doing but I kept on cutting is not a good word, I slice him maybe....and then I heard his voice, "It hurts" Then, I stopped my heart said he's still alive I have to cut him dipper....
What a dream and I don't want something like that to happen, well I do love to read thriller novel and I enjoy the way the killer kill 'things' and sometime I can't help myself imagine it, I also watch CSI a lot Vegar, Miami or New York, I watches it all, but the most thriller series that I like is Dexter!
He has two faces good and bad, different during the day and night, but he only hunts for serial killer!!. Well that also makes him into one....He is so mysterious and hard to understand with, he doesn't have any feelings, I hard to get to see him crying or laughing. If he do, he just looks like pretending to be sad or happy....watch it!
What I'm saying??
Whatever....maybe my head had gone wrong and I think I need to get some rest.....'o'
good night...
by the way my watch shows 12.00 a.m.....well not quite it has pass 12.00 meaning.....~_~
IT IS MY ROOMATE'S BIRTHDAY.....HAPPY BIRTHDAY SIS!!!!

For those who understand what it means, please remember it~_~
I hope it to arrive quickly...
By the way, Earth Hour this year is not on that date but it is on 27 March....
haha..
I remembered last year celebration, gladly I'm not in dark, my family and I were out that night, for dinner.
The shops nearby slowly falling into darkness as the clocks tick at 8.30 p.m. if I not mistaken....
I can wait for Earth Hour this year, how it will be in INTI??
No one is talking about it....hm...
I didn't see any banner in INTI about it either....hm...
Anyway I'm just hoping for something to happen the next day of Earth Hour....~_~
see you soon my beloved 28 ~_~
