Grow Up.

Setiap manusia ingin berjaya
(Everyone wants to excel)
Namun tak semua miliki tuah
(But not everybody have the opportunity)

Yeah. Grow up. Nothing to dwell on.

Aku Ini Pula Dawai Besi

Beautiful? It is, indeed. These are SOOC (Straight Out Of Cellphone haha). People were snapping photos everywhere. My bad that I didn't bring along my camera and much worse when going alone means there's no company of mine to take 'gedik' pictures for me. Eww. Haha. (OMG, I think I hate this part)

Eid is coming. So, as ever, people are all getting ready for it. During this sort of season of celebration, we should always be careful not just while driving but also when walking at malls. Children are everywhere, out of control! There are lots of them running around, hopping here and there, and some are even crawling on the floor. So, watch your speed and steps folks. Oh, there are also some doing vocal practice at malls. Earphones might help.

Still, kids are soooooo cute. And my youngest sister is already quite grown up. Haih.

I rarely hear Malay songs. I mean like, very very rarely. But... But... Fynn Jamal's 150 Juta is just so catchy.



p.s : Been there just for bowling though

There Is No Another

Sejak menjelangnya 1 Ramadhan tempoh hari, banyak je majlis iftar itu la, ini la kat CFS ni. Semua society sibuk nak buat majlis iftar. Nak mencari keberkatan Ramadhanlah kan. Bulan baik macam ni, sape yang sia-siakan memang rugilah. Maka, bertambahlah poster itu dan ini ditampal di merata-rata tempat sekeliling CFS. (Mind you, memang banyak poster kat sini. Tak cukup dengan notice board je. :D )

 

Aku pun semalam sempat la jugak menghadirkan diri di majlis iftar Creative Multimedia Club yang berlangsung di Al-Malek Faisal Hall. (Tapi aku tak join pun kelab ni. Haha) Sempena majlis iftar tu, saudara Hilal Asyraf dijemput untuk memberikan talk kepada para peserta yang lebih kurang 100 orang tu. (Tazkirah Maghrib la. Eheh) Tazkirahnya berkait dengan al-Quran. Yalah, esoknya (hari ni) kan 17 Ramadhan. Semua dah ready nak bercuti. Eh tak, bukan bercuti, sambut Hari Nuzul Quran. Hehe. Ada jugak satu booth dibuka untuk jualan buku-buku saudara Hilal Asyraf dan beberapa penulis lain.

Sebelum majlis iftar tu, aku ternampak la sorang sister ni sedang memegang erat sebuah buku berwarna oren-kekuningan (buku VT kot) dekat pintu masuk dewan. Ku dapat agak mesti dia nak minta autograf  Tapi apakan daya, dia tengok je booth tersebut yang penuh dikelilingi oleh brothers. Cam kesian pulak rasa, haha. Tapi selepas tu ada sorang brother beritahu sesi autograf akan ada nanti, maka tertangguhlah plannya.

Usai sesi iftar dan solat maghrib, talk sempena menjelangnya Nuzul Quran pun bermula serta merta. Tapi kata saudara Hilal Asyraf, di Jordan takde pun sambutan Nuzul Quran. Sebabnya dalam al-Quran, tak dinyatakan pun bahwa al-Quran diturunkan pada 17 Ramadhan, bahkan ia sebenarnya diturunkan pada malam Lailatul Qadar. Betul jugak. Eheh. Di awal talk tersebut, dua hadiah disampaikan oleh saudara Hilal Asyraf. Satu untuk sisters, satu untuk brothers.

Untuk sisters :

Dan janganlah kamu berkahwin dengan perempuan-perempuan kafir musyrik sebelum mereka beriman (memeluk agama Islam); dan sesungguhnya seorang hamba perempuan yang beriman itu lebih baik daripada perempuan kafir musyrik sekalipun keadaannya menarik hati kamu. (Al-Baqarah: 221)

Dan untuk brothers :

Dan janganlah kamu (kahwinkan perempuan-perempuan Islam) dengan lelaki-lelaki kafir musyrik sebelum mereka beriman (memeluk agama Islam) dan sesungguhnya seorang hamba lelaki yang beriman lebih baik daripada seorang lelaki musyrik, sekalipun keadaannya menarik hati kamu. (Yang demikian ialah kerana orang-orang kafir itu mengajak ke neraka sedang Allah mengajak ke Syurga dan memberi keampunan dengan izin-Nya. Dan Allah menjelaskan ayat-ayat-Nya (keterangan-keterangan hukum-Nya) kepada umat manusia, supaya mereka dapat mengambil pelajaran (daripadanya). (Al-Baqarah: 221)

Update 3.0 : Huraian lebih lanjut mengenai hadiah tersebut oleh saudara Hilal Asyraf di sini.

Talk pada malam tu agak bestlah. Berisi. Jadi, jangan jadikan al-Quran hiasan atau simpanan semata-mata kerna ianya satu perlembagaan hidup untuk diikuti. :D

Habis je talk dan solat isyak + terawih yang diimami oleh saudara Hilal Asyraf, ada pulak sesi penyampaian hadiah untuk pemenang-pemenang pertandingan poster dan short movie yang bertema "Bercinta di Musim Bunga". (Aku difahamkan tema tersebut mengibaratkan Ramadhan ni sebagai musim bunga yang penuh indah dan warna-warni. Bercinta di musim bunga, mestilah romantis kan? Eheh )

Bagi pertandingan short movie tu, ada submission yang terang-terang diedit oleh satu video lain bertajuk Counter Strike CFS IIUM. Korang boleh tengok video tersebut kat sini. Tapi entah kenapa, aku takleh pulak nak view melalui YouTube dan YouTube pulak dengan penuh selamba bagi mesej ni :

This video contains content from Sony Music Entertainment, who has blocked it in your country on copyright grounds.

Jadi, terpaksalah aku view kat sini. (Jangan tanya aku apa sume maksud buttons dan links kat laman web tu sebab aku sendiri tak faham. Tanyalah Encik Google Translate) Apa-apapun, harapnya takde pencabulan hakcipta modal insan yang berlaku disebabkan video tersebut. Husnuzonn ye sekalian manusia. Hehe.

Dah nak habis pos ni baru lak aku teringat bahawa Creative Multimedia Club ni baru je 2 tahun berjalan setelah digabungkan dua kelab (Creative Club dan Computer Club) menjadi satu. Aku tak pasti pulak sekiranya skop creativity tu jadi semakin terbatas lebih kepada yang berkaitan dengan komputer sebabnya kreativiti ni begitu luas dan mungkin tiada akhirnya. Aku pun orang seni jugak, ada la tahu serba sedikit. Cewah. Haha. Apa-apapun, it was a good night. 

Give me some sunshine, give me some rain
Give me another chance, I wanna grow up once again

Familiar? Yeah, I've just watched it last night. And mind you, there is no another chance. Face it.

p.s : Laju la pulak internet bila sume orang balik cuti ni. Tapi takde la super laju. Lajunya biasa-biasa aja.
p.s.s : Poster Ramadhan kat pos terdahulu dapat 1st place. Okay la jugak, even aku reg masuk pun pada 3 hari terakhir sedangkan orang lain 2 minggu lebih awal. And, aku orang keenam time tu. Sikitnyee.

If I Die Young

On Youtube

If I Die Young by The Band Perry lyrics

if i die yound burry me in satin
lay me down on a bed of roses
sink me in the river at dawn
send me away with the words of a love song
ooh ooh ooh ooh

lord make me a rainbow i'll shine down on my mother
shes knows i'm safe with you and she stands under my colors
oh and life aint always what you think it ought to be
no it aint even grey but she burries her baby
the sharp knife of a short life
well i've had just enough time

if i die young burry me satin
lay me down on a bed of roses
sink me in the river at dawn
send me away with the words of a love song
the sharp knife of a short life
well, i have just enough time

and i'll be wearing white
when i come into your kingdom
i'm as green as the ring on my little cold finger
well i've never known the lovin of man
but it sure felt nice when he was holdin my hand
there's a boy here in town
who says he'll love me forever
who would have thought forever could be severed
by a sharp knife of a short life
well i've had just enough time

so put on your best boys, and i'll wear my pearls
what i never did is done
a penny for my thoughts oh no i'll sell em for a dollar
theyre worth so much more after i'm a gonner
and maybe then you'll hear the words that i've been singin'
its funny when your dead how people start listenin'

if i die young burry me in satin
lay me down on a bed of roses
sink me in the river at dawn
send me away with the words of a love song
ooh ooh the ballad of a dove
go with peace and love
gather up your tears and keep them in your pocket
save em for a time when your really gonna need em.
oh the sharp knife of a short life
well i've had just enough time
so put on your best boys, and i'll wear my pearls

update 1.0

"The song alludes to Lord Tennyson's poem "The Lady of Shalott" (based off a legend from the days of King Arthur, Elaine of Astolat), and a collection of Tennyson's poems is a freqent image in the video. Tennyson's "The Lady of Shalott" is a poem about a girl living in a mysterious tower, who is cursed with death if she should leave. The Lady of Shalott does leave and she takes a boat and floats down a river toward Camelot. She dies while singing before she arrives. She is found with the boat near Camelot, and Sir Lancelot and all the people marvel at her beauty. "

I just can't get into the video on this blog. Is it just me or everyone's having having the same problem? Well, still, I put on the embed codes, just in case.

update 2.0 : The embed object is just doing fine now. Maybe it was just me.

Sternal fracture? Again? Nah.  Never had.
Holiday's just next week! Yeay!

REMEMBER

by icanread

24th August 2010. Never Forget Today (and such other days). If you want to live. Never, ever.

p.s : and this has nothing to do with my English Speaking Test.

Fourteen

It's been 14th Ramadhan already. Time really does fly, meaning it's closer to Eid, meaning it's closer to holiday, meaning it's closer to going hooomee. But heck, it also means closer to final and English is ahead of others (mine LEM0620) as English Speaking Test has just started this week and mine's today. Do pray for me!

If only I had done right during English Placement Test, I wouldn't end up having to sacrifice 9 hours per week just for English classes (this does not include extra time for groups projects and such). 9 hours! Be that as it may, compared to the other subjects, English has always been my savior subject. Oh gosh, why didn't I just take TESL in the first place? (Don't start it now boy. You don't want that. *Sigh*) The classes are quite enjoyable, so do the teachers that they don't make you that sleepy in class. Anyhow, let's just pray for the best today.

Another half of Ramadhan is about to pass by too. In Ramadhan, do you spend or save money? 'Cause I'm kinda having problems to answer that. Well, it could be both. Maybe. I think I'm more to saving. Do I? Don't really think so. Eh, no! Positive. I'm more to saving. *I'm more to saving**whispering to self*

Come, come, tomorrow.

This is what you get in Chemistry class.

p.s : I hate CFS's wifi although at the same time I'm thankful to be able to use it. But, still, I really really hate it.

Biarkan kalam berbicara

Lama tak dengar nasyid. Tatkala telingaku menangkap alunan lagu-lagu nasyid, teringat pulak zaman sekolah dulu. Mana taknya. Setiap hari ada je artis-artis dalam kelas. Kelas dari 7.45 pagi sampai 2.05 petang. Entah bape buah lagu sempat diorang putar setiap hari.Tu tak sambung dengan kelas tambahan lagi. Haha. Tu baru nasyid, lagu-lagu lain tak lagi. Ada satu tu lagu Sami Yusuf. Haha.

Tapi, ya, tu dulu. Dulu.

 

p.s : Bila dengar High School Musical pulak , teringat waktu muda-muda Form 2, Form 3.
p.s.s : Sejak semalam lagi ulang lagu ni.

Ganjilnya

Dah ganjil 11 hari nampaknya Ramadhan kali ni. Haha. Setiap hari, menu bersahur dan berbuka lebih kurang je. Tambah-tambah kalau yang beli kat kafe. Menu depa pun macam hari biasa-biasa jugak. Kekadang, keluar bazar pun, cam takde pe la sangat nak beli. 2, 3 kali da pergi pun, beli benda sama je. Tengok yang tu mahal. Yang ni mahal. Ye la, mana tak mahalnya kalau compare dengan Kelantan. Dush.

Satu hari bersembang ngan Hakim dalam kelas, habis sume benda nak disebut. Sate, murtabak, gulai kawah, ayam percik, durian and entah pe la lagi. Ustaz pun join sekali habis.

Oh ya, Salam Ramadhan.

Today...

Bodoh. Celaka. Bangsat.

You're gonna screw up, yet again. Bodoh.
