centre of my universe

Call me whatever you want, dear cBox taggers. Especially those on the fatso's side. I am telling the truth, so whatever comes into your mind, brainwashed or not, LIVE WITH IT. You better thank me for being a missionary of the truth, dumb asses.

I will certainly miss CIKGU NABILAH AHMAD and CIKGU RATNI GHANI. Thank you both for your wise words and sincere smiles (hahah), and also for making me succeed (well, partly) in your subjects. Follow your heart, and you will surely get there. Hee. And thank you for the treats. Hee. Both treated us IDEAL.

YAY! Kami masuk finals for the Dikir Dibaie. Both the male and female teams did! Oh, the miracle. Thank you, Allah, for giving us the chance to compete for the trophy and bring glory to our school's name. (: Nasyid, just the guys went to the finals. Dikir Syarafil Anam, just the girls went to the finals. Awkayy. So now, both did! Heeeee.

Loads of things happened today. I love you all for making me laugh today. Smiles are words of wisdom. The world is a rhyme. Awkay. Ta.

In A Dilemma

This is a song I worte yesterday, inspired by Rai and her Kulai dilemma. Love you babe.

Dreams of you
Walking towards me
When I'm missing you
More than eternity
'Cause you're rearely by
Even when you say you'll try
Not to say goodbye
It's just that I miss you

You're never 'round
Memories of us together
It just bums me out
Can't you see it's more than ever
That I'm missing you
For what can happen when
We're done and through
I don't wanna lose you

What are these rumours I hear?
About the girl who used to like you
And I'm standing here
Waiting for an explanation
But you quiet down
It's rare that I see you like this
I just want an out
I want to keep close to you

So where are you now?
Funny I should ask this question
When you should know by now
I try to find a way into your life
You try to voice it out
The thing is I can't hear your words
'Cause you're so far out
Maybe I should stop this

Hey, my love
I dream of you every night
Just for you, my love
You take me out of emptiness
'Cause that's what you do
But I don't feel anything
And now I look at you
Hear the words I'm saying:

"I love you"

take me for a ride --28.07.08

God. Annoying wah this morning! First my dad disturbed my peaceful sleep, then when I went down, he wasn't even ready. Then it was friggin late. My sister lagi slow. Then my mum called on the way to school, that she'll pick me up at 3 so I can clean my room. UGHHHHH.

Then we had assembly. I was in a bitchy mood, because of Ibunda. ERGH. Then English! Hahah. Time to release my anger. You had to be there, alright? MIB, we did the play. That's two projects I'm done with. Harhar.

Blablabla. Maths D was Maths D. Bio was Bio. Chem was watching Six Degrees Could Change The World. Coool. Then at the end of the day, Ck. Nabilah treated us with Ideal's spaghetti and chicken. Yum. With Lemon Tea. OOOOH. I'm going to miss both Ck. Ratni and Ck. Nabilah.

Nina had to go to ICC for her dikir performance. Oh! I solved the Rubik's Cylinder (or whatever it is called) more than 5 times. Hee. It's a lot easier than the cube. So when Nina left, I went to Raihan. My choir birthdaysake. She had this dilemma (which later I composed into a song) about Kulai.

I had fun hanging out with her. Before 2, Kulai had class, so I entertained her. Then after class, Kulai had to go to the Padang for his Sports Meet. Hahah. Kesian si Raihan. So I took care of her. She also took care of me, by giving me Cappucino milk, Cadbury Bytes and Butter digestives. All were awesome. But I took too many of each. Hahah. I learned great stuffs about Raihan. Like:
- She plays the guitar, and can compose songs
- She works out. Hahah. She's flaunting off her guns.
- She would like to be Buttercup (from Powerpuff Girls), or Miss-Teeq (or whatever) from X-Men.
- She likes purple
- She doesn't like durian.

That's all I want to share with, because the others, I would like to keep it between us. Love you, Rai.

So I had fun with Rai, which brought me to the Counseling Room. They had a performance practice for tomorrow (the Majlis Kesyukuran for the Scholarship Recipients), then Mr. Meer asked me to harmonize, which led to me being inducted into that choir. They were mainly from the Music Club, with Mr. Albert Polita in charge. Good for him.

I ended up going home as usual -- 5-ish. Cheh. Pedah. Well, that's all. Ta.

bila april tiba -- 27.07.08

I rediscovered my love for that song, though there is a bitch of a story behind it. Haha. I finished my Maths D homework, which was supposed to be handed in yesterday.

Boo. Instead of going out with my fellow Hadrah mates watching Dark Knight at the least poklenised centre, I was stuck at home, listening to my mum nag while I clean my room. Boo. Afif was somewhat disappointed that I didn't come. There was a Dikir practice this morning, but I didn't come. Boo. Sorry guys. I ain't no reserve anymore. Si Mamat "pulled out". Cheh.

Hahah. Just wanted some closure on today. I hope tomorrow si Don will be in a better mood, and our project is okay. And I hope it's not Kesuma Melati's turn to do the MIB play. Cheers.

cups of mayonnaise -- 26.07.08

It's a Saturday. Huh. It started out like an ordinary day. I woke up late, I went down only to find no one was ready yet, I ate breakfast, blablabla. Then I went to school.

I was somewhat late, around 7.10 am. Classmates forgot about MIB homework, and I seeped the floor of the class. Man, it was dirty. I guess the Form 2 students who used that classroom in the afternoon never looked up "rubbish bin". Then Sir Picai came in, then he reminded us of the Australian Mathematics Competition on Thursday. Then I remembered that Thursday would be the day of the Dikir Dibaie competition. I later asked Ck. Khairiah, and she said we could leave late.

Chemistry. New teacher, Ck. Fazliah. She asked us on Thursday to go directly to the Lecture Theatre for a movie. We watched Six Degrees Can Change The World. Syaz told me of the Top 10 Most Scientifically Impossible Movies, and The Day After Tomorrow was one of them. After watching the movie (for about 20 minutes), we went up for our next lesson. We bumped into Ck. Nabilah on the way up..

Physics. Picai. Nothing unusual. Just that at the last few minutes of the period, he talked about why nuclei of hydrogen fuse together in the Sun. I know the answer already, high temperatures. Then he talked about, er, the Milky Way and our galaxy. Milky Way, I miss the candy bar. Then black holes. Hehh.

Biology. Ms. Ratni came late. We learnt the last part of Reproduction in Humans: Sexually Transmitted Diseases. Zul dared me to ask Ms. Ratni about blowjobs. But I, being the decent person, asked her if STDs can be transmitted through oral sex. Of course, the question was intended to that person. You know who you are.

English. UGH. I checked my cBox today, in the Computer Lab. Normally, the server blocks cBoxes, but Izzah typed in a website to unblock it. Nice. Whoever you are, snow white, back off. I don't need unknown people to trashtalk. Same goes for anakin. Whoever you guys are, just shut up. I don't need no public comments, unless I asked for it. Alright? Then Mr. Don went and turned into the disrespectful crap that he is. What good does this project do. We have Qualifyings to study for! English shouldn't be 4 days a week, Bahasa Melayu should. Useless crap! Duh all you want, DONALD NIXON, but we're not going to bow down to your tyranny.

Break! Emah, Izzah, Nisah and I searched far and wide for Ck. Nabilah and Ms. Ratni, as they will be transferred to UBD to be a qualified teacher.

Here is what I wrote in Ms. Ratni's farewell card:
"Thank you for the great times, especially BASE Camp. Hope to see you again. Find a guy, HAHA. Cheers, Faizan."

And here is what I wrote in Ck. Nabilah's:
"Thank you for making me love Chemistry. Although you don't show it, but your smile inside says a lot. Love Chemistry always! Cheers, Faizan."

I told Emah to read them out loud, and that cracked my classmates. The other gifts were cookies. Hee. Emah made them. When I gave them to Ck. Nabilah, she blushed and smiled, saying that it was a sweet gesture. Aww. She said also that she'll still be around. Hope so. Then Ms. Ratni.. Emah gave it to her. Heheh.

Wait, yeah..

A. Maths. More on Vectors. Hehe. Then Ck. Amal asked us who had the past-year questions. Technically, I have them, but not completely. I want the whole thing! Pleease.. I'll tell her on Tuesday.

B. Melayu. Ck. Haiseh went in, and she looked like she was in a bad mood. Hehe. Relax bahh. Haha. She loosened up a bit after that.. We did the last of the Ulangkaji Karangan. We did the draft, but it was not what she wanted later on. There was an elongated and misled debate on which is the better sex. Hahah. Then Izzah and I went down to the HEP Room to get the Karangan books.

Lunchtime. Nisah went home. Emah, Yas and I went down to the HEP Room and then to the Finance room. My memory is rusty, but I remember Mateen passed me twice. I went online, yeah. But I didn't click him. I don't what triggered that feeling, but I guess it was from last week, when I passed by his girlfriend's class. Ain't going to tell you what happened, though.

Syaz seemed to be in a bad mood later downstairs, but I managed to get her to smile. Hee. Cha gave me a dollar. Thankiies.

Picai wasn't in class in the afternoon, much. More stories between Zul, Yas, Izzah, Syaz and I. Hee. Maths D was fine. Hahahh. I "discovered" a trend between the perfect squares. Haha.

Nothing more to add. Dikir was Dikir. I found some news about Kaka. Afif seemed to be in a better mood. Tomorrow, we Dikir participants will have a practice in the morning, and Hadrah people will have a gathering watching Dark Knight at 4.30.

I'm going to miss my Biology and Chemistry teachers.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SYARIFAH NURUL AMALINA <3
HAPPY BIRTHDAY HASSANUL HADI IQBAL
HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY ANGIE ANG

Okay. That's all. Ta.

yang mengalah -- 25.07.08

Saturday can be said, in one word, as painful.

Heh. Wait, Saturday? I meant Thursday, as in yesterday. Hahah. I am getting rusty.

I came to class later than usual. Hahah. The first and second period was supposed to be Physics, but it was the Australian National Chemistry Quiz (ANCQ). Hah. For me -- a Chemistry freak -- it was basically general questions.

Additional Mathematics was next. We learnt about Vectors. It was mainly a recap from Maths D. Usually, third period was Physics for 5E, the class adjacent to mine. Hence, 'Mr.' Chok. Hmm. I wanted to ask him about Swimming transportation. He's usually my transportation to the pool. Later I found that he didn't come to class.

Next, French. We watched Marie Antoinette. BORING. The background music (I forgot the term for it) was lame. Whoever the music director was, he/she sucks.

Oh, before the ANCQ, 5E sang Happy Birthday to someone. Zul told me it was Mrs. Norchua's.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MS. NORCHUA

CCA! Wheeee. Swimming! Shar and Sheyenne came along, so they had to squeeze in with Nafi and Burhan in the back seat, while I had spacious seat at the front passenger seat. The girls didn't even swim; they were the extras! Damn. Hahah. I discovered Shar's current condition, medically. How coincidental. (:

Bio was fun, we learnt about the Gestation Period and Pregnancy. Hahaha. Then Ck. Ratni told us that Topic 17: Inheritance would be taught by Ms. Norchua. Whee. Chem was fun, too. Though Ck. Nabilah went home, and the new teacher went in for her, it was mainly quiet. Buat keraja sendiri. Hahah. Name of the new teacher: Ck. Fadzliah (if that's the correct spelling). She was the teacher who liked my drawing of a water bath. Hahah. My fan, kehkehkeh.

Then another 15 minutes of Bio, with 5P. Sex control. Hee. Diaphragm, condom, IUD, vasectomy, tubal ligation and rhythmic method. Haha.

I didn't hang out with the Gang (i.e. Zimah, Amal, Tiqah, Kapek or Ain) today. Hrmph. I went online on Afif's laptop. He told me that he broke up with his girlfriend, and I felt honoured that he told me and not his classmates.. Hee. He looked a bit sad, so I wrote in the Notepad of his laptop. Kind of a post, a testimonial, a 'comment' like in Friendster. I like that. Like an indirect way of cheering people way, with words electronically.

I played 'Bila April' by Fazley on Afif's laptop, and it was on repeat. Afif, Marzuqi and Hafiz recorded their voice, for a sort of "audition" for the solo part. I hope Afif gets it. His voice is soothing. Diyanah (a.k.a. Nana), Rafa, Khairini and Maz'Irene said before that Afif and I would be such a sweet couple, like Azeerul and Iqbal. Hahah. That's what they said, okay?

This is just what happened in school. At home, I was so dehydrated that I drank, like, 5 cups of water, i.e. a whole jug. I wore my Indonesian slippers, again. They have lost their grip. Lowered friction. Three Thursdays in a row I wore them. Hee. Syaz told me of the movie, Darkness Falls. I feel like I have watched the movie, but being so forgetful, I do not remember.

Ck. Ratni was late. Heirna's perfume broke. Yasmin was being her old bimbo self (Cheers, Yas). Syaz and I kept kacau-ing Nisah of her "relationship" with si Hafizuddin. Hani Haha and Lain Haha. Kahkahkah. Zatul said the sushi party was cancelled, then si Amoi said something of a sort, which led me to look down (I was at the bridge of Bio department, and she was downstairs) and she kept staring at me. Freaaky. There was a "Wanted" poster of Burhan by some annoying wolfgang of some sort. Honestly, of any of my friends, I would hate for them to join the Form 4 and 5 wolves. Or the PU1's. ANNOYING.

Bah, it's raining out. Ta.

second child syndrome -- 22.07.08

Hahah. I don't know why I put that as my title. Heh, well. Biar tia lah.

I updated my blog in school today. Heh. Weird jua ah bunyi nya. Hmm. Nothing unusual. Chem was as it is. So was English. Ck. Haiseh was unusually happy today. Hahah. Anniversary kalii. Add. Maths was Add. Maths. Zul kept badgering me about my handwriting. But I finally have one over him: he slept through the first few hours of his 2-year anniversary with Faww. AWWWW. Faww was mad, of course. Hehh.

I think the peribahasa "Sudah jatuh, ditimpa tangga" fits into the current situation of my friend, let's call her Wirah. Hahah. But everyone else calls her Sis. I mean, a month ago, she was in this relationship with one of my best friend -- let's call her Shila -- 's classmate, let's call him Farus. Until days later, he collapsed. She was informed by the mistress of Varus's house via Not Long Paragraph Mail. The mistress read Varus's not-out-box. Then the mistress told Wirah to stop the relationship. Heh.

In the present, Wirah still kept feelings for Varus and vice versa, or so she thought. While the three of us went to the Body-and-Environment level of the college to get Wirah's stuff, Shila told Wirah that the former saw the latter's ex (i.e. Varus) with another girl, where they seemed to be "on the way" to having a relationship. SHOCK! Wirah cried, DUH. Her birthday just came up, and Farus tried to comfort Wirah, via Not Long Paragraph Mail. Hehhh. Chill man. Now, Wirah's master is in a swing, concerning Wirah's brother (whose name is the same as the ex's), who was caught small-cigar-ing by the Justice Administrator.

The small part of the kicked-in-the-nards story is that Wirah's other ex, codename Yijan,'s current girlfriend is thinking that Wirah is trying to meddle in Yijan and the girlfriend's relationship. Hah. Cheers, man. I think I have more-than-friends feelings for Wirah. (:
