Inspiration

I came across THIS today and I think it’s both very inspiring and sad at the same time. When I was younger, I was protected in a bubble that made me naive enough to think that the world is a safe and happy place to live in. That ‘happily ever after’ is not just a fantasy. How wrong was I??

So when I come across stories like these, it depresses me to know that there ARE actually people going through these hardships. I am really glad that there are campaigns like these who commit to help others. I am surely inspired to do the same for those in Brunei. I get really teary-eyed when I hear stories similar to these which are happening in Brunei. I can only pray for the best for everyone.

Talents of the Infamous

Sometimes when I get bored, and have nothing else to browse on the internet… I go to YouTube and search “Acoustic Cover”. Yes, i’m a sucker for awesome acoustic cover versions by the infamous. And most of the time (almost ALL the time), I find someone who is really REALLY good and I just wish I can sing HALF as good as they can. So today… I came across this lady here… Did NOT expect that voice to come out of her.. seriously. Have a listen:

And because of these people… I grab my guitar and motivated to sing like them. BUT TO NO AVAIL!! HAHAHAHA.

I miss watching talented people on stage. I miss watching gigs. Oasis is on tour in the UK at the moment (Cardiff on the 12th i think)… I wanna go!! I should have not gone on seetickets.com. Sakit hati saja.. haha

Always start with a dream

Today… I feel defeated. This is the first time I’ve felt this way ever since I came back. There are so many things that I want to do… buy I’ve recently realized that it is now close to impossible. I envy those who are doing what they are passionate about. Crossing out their list one by one.

Maybe it’s just today. Or maybe it is because i have finally seen how the system really works. And it’s not promising.

My mind has been going crazy ever since I attended the Environment Youth Envoys (EYEs) Workshop for the past 3 days. I have no idea why. Maybe I’m just exhausted because I haven’t had a day off for the past week. I’m physically tired, but now with all this thinking… I am mentally EXHAUSTED! I seriously need a break. My mind needs a break.

And with that….. Good night everyone.

Let’s hope for a better tomorrow :)

Poojas at Uncle Lias’ wedding. I totally covered Nadi’s face… hahahaha, sorry beh! AND, Aunty Yati and Uncle Din are such a couple. We were told to freestyle, they BOTH gave the same ‘thumbs-up’ pose. HAHA.

DVD Day on a Friday

I haven’t had such a productive week since … forever! Work has been good to me, but it really has been a pretty hectic week. Pretty busy that… yesterday, when I finally had the opportunity to actually sit down on my desk and do my own work, i forgot how relaxing it felt. And that was barely 10mins! When I told Hakeem about this, he said “at least you’ve adapted. You are officially a working woman”. That’s when it FINALLY kicked in …that I’m in the next stage on my life – the working life. I may have mentioned it a lot, but it seriously just kicked in. Yup, after 3 months!! THAT, and the fact that I just received my pay. HAHA!

Have I mentioned that I’m part of the Environmental Club in school? HEHE :) If I’m going to make a change, gotta start small right? :)

The poojas finally went out for a movie outting last weekend. Went to watch ‘Wolverine’. I miss movie outtings with the poojas. The rest of the Poojas are coming back next month, Aimi end of this month. Can’t wait to get everyone together under one roof :)

I’m gona go. I was just inspired to blog, seeing other people’s blogs. Especially Nisa’s. Goodness, that girl is amazing. She has 3 blogs and she updates them quite regularly. Nisa, you know you’re awesome! :)

Laters people! <3

 

P/S: Mother’s Day is on Sunday!!! :)

Rare update

I’ll admit it. I really don’t have good time management. Which leaves my blog hanging with no daily (or weekly for that matter) updates. I really have been busy. No, not busy with unproductive things. They really have been productive (*proud moment please*) hahahaha. But now, I am just really exhausted. The past three weeks have been seriously hectic. 2 weddings back to back, so my weekends and week-nights were pretty much filled. Work got really REALLY busy as well, days are really long~ And markings are endless.

I have not gone to Lambak in a while. I can’t believe that I am actually homesick, EVEN if I’m back home. Nyeh! I miss the poojas. Will surely arrange an outing soon. Yes poojas?? :D

ALSO, I have not spoken to any of the Miskin babies in ages!!! I haven’t been online much even. (Oh gosh, i feel so uncool hahahaha) I hope you are all alright and enjoying yourselves this easter break. I miss you all loadssss. Talk soon yea???

Lets see… what else happened?

PAPAH’S BIRTHDAY!!! He turned 51 last Monday. We haven’t gone out for proper birthday dinner or anything, because zara has exams going on. Aimi’s birthday card for Papah arrived the next day, and it was awesome. The humour in it! Nyahahaha.

I’m gona go now. I'll leave you with these pictures from Abg Justin’s wedding.

Holiday

First term holiday!!!

… and I’m working. I already have holiday homework. Yes, even a tutor has holiday homework. Who would have thought =P

Yesterday, at the end of one of my classes, I wished them a happy holiday and to enjoy it. Then two girls went up to me and salam my hand. I was touched, although i felt old too. Haha. But that made my day really. Simple gestures like that can really make someone smile :)

I guess we have settled in the new campus already. The principal and DP actually said that they were impressed at how fast everyone has settled in. Here are just a few pictures from the first day of Meragang.

On another note, today marks the start of the wedding marathon. It should be fun, busy and tiring. Haha. Especially when I have work the next day. Also, we are expecting two new babies this month or next. These sort of events makes me so glad that I am back home =)

And with that….. I’m off!

Til next time lovelies :)
