i love the message he's trying to deliver.

it is indeed deep.

so here is the video

the night's song

2011-11-08T01:28:00.000+08:00

I was wide awake while the others are already sleeping, and dreaming away. How it feels good to be at home, where all the memories of my younger years linger around freely without any distractions. How beautiful the moments were, timeless and perfect.

I was in the kitchen, when I noticed a familiar tune, it caught my ears' attention in such an overwhelming way that it touched my heart. What it was? It was the frogs croaking and the creaking sounds of the crickets.

Others might find this comical and hilarious, I mean, they are frogs and crickets!! They are supposed to be noisy and annoying. But in an unexplainable way, the sound i heard was indeed something pleasantly beautiful.

I recall how I used to be able to listen to the exact same sound almost every time after the rain have stopped pouring down from the sky, especially at night during the monsoon season. My mother would explain to me that the frogs are sad that the rain stopped and they keep calling out to the rain to pour down again.

It somehow has a calming effect on me, making me feel much more at ease and at home. I can only hope that this will be something that will always stay as it is, but knowing how the world is constantly changing and developing, I can only wish that it will at least remain that way as long as it possibly can.

I even recorded the sound, so I can take it back with me when i leave to Shah Alam. It will stay listed on my playlist.

SKTU Kids 9500 Reunion - Aidilfitri 2011-

2011-09-02T03:27:00.001+08:00

Today I celebrated Aidilfitri with my primary school friends. The kids from Sekolah Kebangsaan Taman Uda Alor Setar Kedah, Batch 1995/2000. This is our second gathering. the first one was last year (impromptu). This year's gathering was planned at the very last minute.

Thank you so much to Fatin Nabihah for letting us use her house as the place for us to get together, and to Amarah and again to Fatin for the spaghetti. Thank you to Taufik for being the first one to arrive! To Yusri Ezamdi for the drinks and for calling and inviting more friends to come over. Thank you for Mohd Azfar, Anis Syahirah and Khairul Mursyidah for snapping pictures. To Nur'Izzah and Nur Fatiehah Mahmud for the Carrot Slice (slice ka?).

And also to Alif Ashraf, Mukhlis Mansor, Syam, Nadia, Ahmad Asmizar, Syafiq Shahbudin, Rahim, Danial Hisham, Syamil Johan, Adib and Matzul for coming and being there together with us. And of course to the others that I may have forgotten to mention or I just simply don't know their names, thank you for tagging along with us even when you weren't from SKTU. Forgive us for we might have said things that might have hurt your feelings, but please know that we don't mean a thing out of it, simply a harmless joke to break the ice. =)

I truly appreciate it. I hope our friendship will grow even more stronger with time. InsyaALLAH.

by the way, the photos are from Mohd Azfar and Siti Sara.

Eid ul-Fitr.Eidulfitri.Aidilfitri.Eid.Hari Raya.

2011-08-31T00:16:00.003+08:00

Selamat Hari Raya Everyone!!

I hope you can forgive me for all that I have done you wrong in the past be it intentionally or unintentionally. I would also like to wish all of you Selamat Hari Kemerdekaan Malaysia yg ke 54! I am forever thankful that I have been living in such a peaceful country (compared to most countries around the globe I find Malaysia rather soothing) for the whole of 23 years of my life that have been filled with so many colorful faces that have lighten it up with a magnificent blend.

I have lots of photos to share, but I am way too lazy to organize them now. I will post another entry wih all the updates from my Raya. Despite all the turbulence at home, most of which are caused by the kids, I find it, really peaceful, it feels so much at home. I really wish that my sister, Umairah and her hubby are here with us right now

I can't believe that I would be leaving to Shah Alam pretty soon. I am really looking forward for the trip to Bangkok next week, but at the same time, I really want to spend more time at home. Again, at the same time, I Can't wait to meet up with all my friends in Shah Alam and of course, to meet my sweetheart.

this is extremely overwhelming -_-"

yet so exciting.

Don't

2011-08-24T02:20:00.000+08:00

Don't leave me.Don't stop caring about me.Don't look away from me.Don't stop wanting me.Don't hate me.Don't ignore me.Don't forget me.Keep on missing me.Keep on thinking about me.Look for me.Find me and hold me.Smile at me.Laugh with me.Be in love with me.The way I am with you.Don't Quit on me.

I Love You.

"you're a man!"

2011-08-20T01:53:00.000+08:00

"you're a man!"

that was what my cousin marwan said to me after two years of not seeing each other. yes indeed, a lot have changed, i mean he himself is all grown

up. and his sister sara, is practically a lady now.

it has been two years since they last visited us in Malaysia. and seeing them after two years made me realize even more that a lot have changed since then.

and when marwan said what he did, i was like, yeah.. i am a man now. being the yougest child, i have been so used to the term boy or kid, that i have sort of forgotten that i am 23 years old now. thats huge!

i just hope that with this age, comes a sense of maturity. i mean. i have to be able to think like a grown up now. but somehow i don't feel all that ready. am i really that much left behind? am i that much childish? am i acting like a 23 year old? or at least how a 23 year old should act like? im scared.

anyways, here are some photos that we took on marwan's camera the other day.

all photos are from my cousin's facebook

Mary Flora Bell

2011-08-10T06:01:00.000+08:00

Mary Flora Bell wanted to “hurt” someone. She was an angry child, the product of an unsettled home in which chronic abuse was the norm. She had a friend, Nora Bell, and they often did things together. When Mary was eleven, she and Nora lured a boy to the top of an air raid shelter. When he fell and was injured, it was thought to be an accident. Two weeks later, the corpse of four-year-old Martin Brown was found, another assumed accident. Then police discovered notes that indicated that someone was taking responsibility - two people, in fact, who called themselves “Fanny and Faggot.” Then Mary show ed up at Martin’s home so she could “see him in his coffin.” Two months passed and another local toddler, three-year-old Brian Howe, turned up missing. When Mary suggested that he might be playing on a certain pile of concrete, searchers looked where she indicated and found his body. He’d been strangled and his legs and stomach had been cut with a razor and scissors. The medical examiner believed it to be the handiwork of a child.

Mary and Norma were brought in; Mary made up a story but Norma described watching Mary kill the boy. They went to trial in 1968 in England, where Mary was convicted of two counts of manslaughter. People called her “evil” and a “bad seed,” in part because she seemed so indifferent to the proceedings against her. A court psychiatrist said that she was manipulative and dangerous.

Cinderella Story

2011-08-10T04:32:00.001+08:00

I couldn't sleep, so I have decided to watch a movie alone while waiting for sahur. I choose A Cinderella Story. I know that i have watched the movie a thousand times, but it has never failed to entertain me. Anyways, while watching, i started to doodle, and what you see above is the results of my boredom. one thing i really like about the movie is the words they use. really nice quotes. so i used some of the quotes on my work.

2011-08-10T02:07:00.001+08:00

“most people yearn for someone to hold them and love them all the way that they tend to forget about loving themselves and making others see who they really are”

Catch Me by Demi Lovato

2011-08-07T02:44:00.001+08:00

Before I fall too fast
Kiss me quick
But make it last
So I can see how badly this will hurt me
When you say goodbye

Keep it sweet
Keep it slow
Let the future pass
And don't let go
But tonight I could fall too soon
To this beautiful moonlight

But your so hypnotizing
You've got me laughing while I sing
You've got me smiling in my sleep
And I can see this unraveling
Your love is where I'm falling
But please don't catch me

See this heart
Won't settle down
Like a child running scared from a clown
I'm terrified of what you do
My stomach screams just when I look at you

Run far away
So I can breathe
Even though your far from suffocating me
I can't set my hopes too high
Cause every hello ends with a goodbye

But your so hypnotizing
You've got me laughing while I sing
You've got me smiling in my sleep
And I can see this unraveling
Your love is where I'm falling
But please don't catch me

So now you see
Why I'm scared
I can't open up my heart without a care
But here I go
It's what I feel
And for the first time in my life I know it's real

But your so hypnotizing
You've got me laughing while I sing
You've got me smiling in my sleep
And I can see this unraveling
Your love is where I'm falling
So please don't catch me

If this is love, please don't break me
I'm giving up
So just catch me

sweet victory

2011-08-06T03:13:00.000+08:00

that is what we often heard. "sweet victory" but not all victories are sweet, some actually come with remorse and awful feelings, so how can that ever be sweet?

perfect

2011-08-03T00:28:00.000+08:00

how can i ever tear something so perfect? something of such delicate beauty, so innocent, so pure. a flower blooming with such radiance? so perfect. so right. how could i cut it from its roots? why can't i just leave it, let it grow even though eventually, it will fall off its tree.

ok dh cukup mengarut..goodnight

quote

2011-08-02T05:49:00.002+08:00

“Life is painful and messed up. It gets complicated at the worst of times, and sometimes you have no idea where to go or what to do. Lots of times people just let themselves get lost, dropping into a wide open, huge abyss. But that’s why we have to keep trying. We have to push through all that hurts us, work past all our memories that are haunting us. Sometimes the things that hurt us are the things that make us strongest. A life without experience, in my opinion, is no life at all. And that’s why I tell everyone that, even when it hurts, never stop yourself from living.”

flaws

“I like flaws. I think they make things interesting.”

-Sarah Dessen-

(The Truth about Forever)

true..imagine a world without them, where everything is the same. how dull would things be, so let us all embrace our flaws, it makes us who we are, makes us stand out from the others. let it be the reason for us to be loved.

*mcm ada org baca ja kan? haha

washing my hands again and again

2011-08-01T01:03:00.000+08:00

i have this habit that i wash my hands a lot whenever i am thinking about something, literally wash them, sometimes using sopa, but most of the time, i just let the water run on both hands of mine. and i will indulge myself with the cooling sensation and calming effect it sort of give me. it is just so relaxing, almost like therapy.

but washing hands isn't the issue here, instead it is what actually makes me wash my hands that is in question.

well you see, in life, i have a bunch of people that mean a lot to me. a special group of people that i consider as most important.

i have this habit of not wanting to trouble them, because well, i just don't want to give them more trouble. i am pretty sure i can figure things out somehow.

but when i do this, it seems that i am actually hurting their feelings because to them, it seems as if they don't matter to me thus i don't involve them in anything that i do, even when the truth is i just don't want to trouble them.

so i try to involve them in things that i do. up to some point i feel bad, as if i am troubling them way too much. like i am somehow suffocating them with my problems.
nut i really do need them at the moment.

so to sum things up.
whenever i feel like i am able to to things on my own, i feel bad that i make others feel like i don't need them.

but at times when i need the most, i feel bad because i feel like i am suffocating them, strangling them to death.

so what should i do?
yeah, i know you'll probably say that i am over thinking this way too much.

i know, but, i just cant stop thinking about it. it seems never ending.

and i just have to write this down, to let it out, because i don't know who else to trouble,

what i want

2011-07-27T00:40:00.001+08:00

i want chocolates, i want sushi, i want rice, and i want pies

at the end i just throw up and get sick.

i want a cool shirts, i want a new phone, i want a car, and i want as much money as i can get

in the end i just end up spending more that i can afford to.

it is all deceiving me. keeping me further from the true thing that i want the most which is to be loved and cared for. to belong. and to achieve something more meaningful in life without needing to have any of those that i thought i wanted

an attempt

2011-07-25T02:30:00.000+08:00

this is an attempt to try and post something that people would actually read, as i have already known for quite a long time now, nobody really reads this blog, i don't blame them though, there is nothing much to read anyway. this is because, i don't go and do exciting things all the time, i don't have awesome photos to share with the world, i am not a famous guy with gossips and controversies tied around my neck, i don't have the ability to sing and post my video for people to listen to, and i don't know how to write my entries to make them sound as if it were copied out from a book or something like that.

but i don't really care, because i am happy with this life of mine.as dull as it may be, it has managed to shape me and allow me to actually write this post. i love my life as hurtful and as amazing it could get, as it has been and as it will be. in this gray life of mine, i have found so many colorful people and experience a lot of wonderful things that have taught me valuable lessons. i have learned to love, hate, respect, remember, and work myself through it all.

okay so it seems that this post is getting no where in particular. just something that crossed my mind at the moment of boredom, as an attempt to escape bored-ness and trying to get my self sleepy enough to go to bed.

so, till next boredom, see ya~

Fact.

2011-07-22T01:48:00.000+08:00

Here’s something I bet you don’t know:

In the late 1880s, the body of a 16-year-old girl was pulled from the Seine. She was apparently a suicide, as her body showed no marks of violence, but her beauty and her enigmatic smile led a Paris pathologist to order a plaster death mask of her face.
In the romantic atmosphere of fin de siècle Europe the girl’s face became an ideal of feminine beauty. The protagonist of Rainer Maria Rilke’s 1910 novel The Notebooks of Malte Laurids Brigge writes, “The mouleur, whose shop I pass every day, has hung two plaster masks beside his door. [One is] the face of the young drowned woman, which they took a cast of in the morgue, because it was beautiful, because it smiled, because it smiled so deceptively, as if it knew.”
Ironically, in 1958 the anonymous girl’s features were used to model the first-aid mannequin Rescue Annie, on which thousands of students have practiced CPR. Though the girl’s identity remains a mystery, her face, it’s said, has become “the most kissed face of all time.”

i found this on tumblr. so i decided it is worth sharing

troubled mind

2011-07-20T23:39:00.000+08:00

i havent been updating this blog for a while now. i guess it is because i was so caught up with my school band. that i have no time to check up on my feelings. now that marching season is over, i feel like i have nothing to do. boredom kicks in and i start to think. and now that i have think, i realized that, i have treated a lot of people in a wrong way. and the best part is, most of the time i didn't even realize i was doing it. and that thought disturbs me.

but then again, i am just a guy. i am one normal human being, i am not perfect, so please give me room to make mistakes, don't expect too much from me, because i can't stand the pressure of letting people down. please forgive me. for doing the wrong things in life, but at least i can learn from them. with the wrongs i've done, i can see things from a better view, and try to mend my ways.

is it wrong to not be the perfect person everyone thinks you are?

Ross: What?
Rachel: I don’t want you to see me naked!
Ross: Rachel, I’ve seen you naked a million times. I ate hot fudge off you naked. Remember, I-I sucked that mini-marshmallow out of your belly button?
Rachel: Yeah, but that was different. Y’know? I mean, we were, we were going out then, now I think it’s weird.
Ross: Rach, y’know I can see you naked any time I want.
Rachel: What?
Ross: All I have to do is close my eyes. See? (closes his eyes) Woo-hoo!!
Rachel: Ross! Stop that! I don’t want you thinking of me like that any more!
Ross: Ahh, sorry, nothing you can do about it. It’s one of my ah, rights as the ex-boyfriend. (closes his eyes again) Oop, oh yeah
Rachel: Stop it! Cut it out! Cut it out!
Ross: Okay, okay, I’m sorry, it will never happen… (closes eyes) Uh-oh! Wait a minute! Wait-wait, now there are a hundred of you and I’m the king.

ice creams and dreams

2011-05-30T02:06:00.000+08:00

do you remember when we were kids?

how we used to see things in a much more less complicated ways

and dream of things that are never even possible.

we used to see things as what they are, simple. no compromises.

and we dreamed to be a superhero with cool awesome powers

or a pretty princess in a far away land.

waiting to be united with true love's kiss.

some how, all these ridiculous ideas,

manage to cheer us up.

almost anytime.

like ice creams on a hot sunny day.

sounds peachy huh? but you have to admit,

indeed what i have said so far is true.

because if it isn't true, than you won't be smiling to yourself right now.

hahaha...gothca!!

but ice creams on a hot sunny day,

they tend to melt,

and if don't hurry up and finish them.

we will just loose it to the sun and the dirt as they melt away.

sure we can get new ones,

but they won't be the same as the first ones we picked.

as to dreams and opportunities.

if we continue to dream on our dreams

and not do anything as it melts with time,

we won't get anywhere.

sure we can get new dreams,

but would it make you as happy?

as satisfied as the ones you've left to melt?

stupid

2011-05-25T01:12:00.001+08:00

zakian, you always tend to do stupid things.

you say stupid things that hurt others.

you make stupid decisions that caused unnecessary damages.

the best part is, you don't even know that you did all these.

and you didn't even mean to do so.
you just do.

zakian, why have you become so bitter.

all the sarcasm, really, it USED to be fun.

but now, it is just mean.

please stop before you turn into something really mean

and hurt more people.

zakian, grow up,

you are 23 this year.

it is a lot to take.

yes. but it is life.

so please.

take sometime to look back at yourself and think

are you ready?

10 years.

2011-05-12T14:29:00.000+08:00

It does not seem that long ago when we first enrolled in Sultan Abdul Hamid College together, coming form different parts of Kedah. Some I have met before. Some are complete strangers. But somehow, we managed to become friends. We sort of grew up together. going through changes in life.

Now, we have changed so much. some have finished with their studies. Some still have a long way to go. Some have found their calling, some are still searching. Some have been lost for a while, some have always been there.

Some are just the same, and some have completely changed.

Can you believe it? 10 years ago. That long we have known each other.

Seriously guys, 10.

Teacher?

2011-05-10T11:53:00.000+08:00

I was reading my sister's blog and I came across this post.

Zarra and Imran are my sister's children. How adorable, how innocent can kids be.

it made me think that, maybe I like to become a teacher after all.

working with kids, helping them through various stages of life,

developing their talent.

It is not and easy task, although most people may see teaching as

something that is not worth it, I believe it is, I may not be ready yet, but I will work hard for it.

i mean, If it is written for me to be a teacher, then I will be a good one.

InsyaALLAH.

By the way, i am now in Alor Setar, beloved hometown.

It is really hot here. I sweat while doing nothing.

So that will be all for now,

Here is the link to my sister, Unaizah's blog,

Memories Experiences Thoughts Hopes Dreams

You can visit her page if you like to find out about

some interesting places to lepak and eat around Malaysia.

believe me, she has good taste in food.

disturbed

2011-04-24T03:48:00.002+08:00

i have been experiencing lots of urges to cry my heart out lately
i don't know why, but i just want to.
i have tried a lot of things,
watch sad movies, listen to songs that can make me cry
but nothing works.
i don't know why, it might me the stress,
i just feel like crying.
but i just can't.
it is really disturbing

take me there

2011-04-24T03:38:00.000+08:00

i want to be in a place where i can do almost anything i dreamed of doing.

the place where stars shine brightly in the night sky, glittering with hope.

where everyone seems to live a life with no nothing holding their back

the perfect euphoria.

i want to be in a place where love matters,

where there aren't any war or blood involved

a world where you can simply walk around without having to watch your back

take me to a place where there are no worries.

nothing to make you feel upset

only joy and laughter

take me where everyone that is dear to me,

so i can live life among them

seeing them always by my side

please, can you take me there? i don't know where,

but i would really like to be there.

is there any chance of such place in existence?

i know i am not making any sense at all,

but it would be wonderful

seriously, i have to open my eyes, and stop daydreaming.

a breath of air, finally

2011-04-16T01:27:00.000+08:00

at last, today was last the last day of such a hectic week,
such a hectic semester actually, all that is left now is next thursday.
that is when i need to submit my report, my video assignment and arrangement.
and that is the day of the replacement class and the seminar.
that is all!!! now i can really breathe a little.

after thursday, is my final papers.
then it is alor setar for sure!

a very long exhausting semester

2011-04-14T19:39:00.002+08:00

it is Thursday today
which means that tomorrow is Friday
don't worry, im not trying to pull any Rebecca Black stunt here.
but what i am trying to say is, this means that, tomorrow will be the last day of class for such a messy semester.
well, technically, i have replacement classes next Thursday, but i don't mind that too much, at least my schedule is not as tight anymore by then.

today, however, i have gone through my final studio exam, i think it was okay, considering the opportunity for me to practice my trombone is not as much as it used to be. i am thankful for that. =) and, i have managed to submit my group's mandarin video (for our third language class), which we managed to quickly record and edit (thanks tom!) by yesterday.

how i wish i can sort of celebrate, but unfortunately, i have my educational psychology case study to submit by tomorrow, and of course, the music theory quiz a.k.a. replacement class, which also happens to be tomorrow.

you see, i am taking 13 subjects this semester, (23 credit hours)
and i found out that it is pretty much a tiring semester, but i got through it..
not exceptionally good, but i managed to cope.

i have completed

PRESENTATION SKILLS
i have presented on the advantages of blogging and the benefits of being a blood donor

MANDARIN LANGUAGE I
learning a language is not as easy as i looks,

VOICE METHODS
i actually learn how to sing properly, and how to teach a choir group. my first singing in front of a public experience

KEYBOARD INSTRUCTION II
my fingers tend tangle each other, -_-"

MAJOR INSTRUMENT IV
my trombone playing, 5 pieces, not as easy

MALAYSIAN MUSIC ENSEMBLE II
gamelan, kosalia arini, not easy at all!!!!!

FORUM IV
performance in front of the whole music education department. almost like conference, but here, we perform and the lecturers will comment and supposedly suggest on what we can do in order to improve.

PERFORMING GROUPS IV
orchestra, in this class, the rehearsals are tiring. the brass section doesn't play in each and every song that have been picked for this semester, we (specifically the trombone+tuba section) only have parts to play in 2 songs out of 12 songs all together, we salute you string players!!

this only leaves me with

TECHNOLOGY IN MUSIC TEACHING
a tutorial video and an arrangement of my school anthem due next week

EARLY FIELD EXPERIENCES IN MUSIC
report on 10 hours of observation also due next week

FOUNDATIONS OF MUSIC EDUCATION
final written exam, must study and be all philosophical-ish

EDUCATIONAL PSYCHOLOGY
case study due tomorrow, final written exam, also must study, and be all teacher-ish, and philosophical-ish

THEORY OF MUSIC IV
quiz a.k.a replacement class tomorrow, final written exam, must study and do lots of exercises. (reminds me of math)

so, must start on my case study now! bye

thank you for,,,

2011-04-10T03:36:00.001+08:00

sometimes i feel like i am unsure

thank you for assuring me

sometimes i feel like i am not wanted

thanks for accepting me

sometimes i feel as if the whole world is turning its back on me

thanks for embracing me

sometimes i feel like its too quiet

thanks for serenading me with songs

sometimes i feel like i am alone

thanks for always being there beside me

sometimes i feel like i am angry

thanks for soothing me

sometimes i feel like i am weak

thanks for giving me strength

whenever i have lost hope on all that is,

you will always spark the spirit inside me

and giving hope to pursue my dreams

thank you so much for my family, my friends and of course, my love

-Z.S-

am loosing it slowly,

2011-04-07T00:51:00.000+08:00

I am loosing myself slowly.

I'm not saying that I am turning over to the dark side or anything, it's just that, I am one person who holds on to past memories, although I can't seem to remember every little detail of the past. To some of you, it may seem like I have moved on to the future, and finally put my past inside a sealed box that have been kept away in the attic (not that i have any at home).

Anyways, what I am trying to say here is, I miss the great times I have with my friends, opportunities to spend time with them like I used to is becoming less and less, as in really, really limited.

I tend to get caught in the moment, so whenever I am remembering the times I've had, I like to text my friends, and tell them how much I miss them, (sometimes I fear that they might get the wrong ideas. -_-").

Actually, this is one of the time when I get caught in the moment, haha, usually happens when I'm about to go to sleep. Well, I guess it's time to stop. must sleep now, early day tomorrow, and it is a long day of class, assignments and tests. I barely even practice nowadays, I think I have disappointed many people, especially my principal lecturer, I can't seem to keep focus on what I'm doing lately.

*honestly i don't think anyone reads my posts -_-"

Dear Beloved...

2011-04-05T00:14:00.001+08:00

dear beloved, you have been through a rough life,

but don't you feel sorry for yourself,

because you are more than what you think you're worth.

you might not see it, but it's true.

dear beloved, i will not stop you from crying,

because i know that holding back your tears will only kill your soul,

we cry because we are only human, so cry your heart out,

until your eyes go swollen.

dear beloved, don't you worry about the future,

the future is way ahead, and by working on today,

you'll reach your future, so open your eyes to see

the present and enjoy it while you can

dear beloved, you feel unwanted, unimportant, by those who torment you,

but don't you worry, because there are those who care,

and will always be by your side, whenever, where ever.

dear beloved, don't you lose hope on life,

there are lots to discover, have faith and you'll be okay.

Puntung Rokok

2011-04-04T17:22:00.000+08:00

ohh!!! I just remembered something that I have been wanting to post here for quite some time now. For those who doesn't know, I do not smoke, so I am a little annoyed when people smoke around me, but I'm not saying that those who smoke are bad people, no, I have no such intentions at all, trust me. I even have friends who smoke and they are really good people in nature. I accept the fact that people tend to smoke in public toilets and not to mention at most "kedai mamak" and I don't mind, I mean, not that I can do much about it, but i just can't stand those who irresponsibly simply throw away their cigarette butts without even bothering to put them out completely. In some cases, they just throw their burning cigarette buts near dries leaves. Do they have no common sense? Pakcik oii, tau dak sebab puntung rokok yang pakcik buang tu, satu kedai boleh tebakaq? I mean, people can really get hurt. so please, be more responsible and dispose of your trash responsibly.

Thankful

2011-04-04T16:57:00.001+08:00

Hi World, how are you feeling today? As for me, I am feeling quite sick for the moment, not that I am complaining, in fact, I am coping rather well. You see this week, I have lots of things to complete. Today, for an example, I have a final paper, and I think I did quite well, I am feeling very much thankful for the fact that I find the paper just now, which is VOICE METHOD, is quite easy, because I haven't been spending much time studying on the subject. To add to the the things that I have to do, I am not feeling so well, so I actually sleep more last weekend, instead of studying. so that is why i feel so thankful for today's paper. and now, i should be preparing for my BEL presentation which is scheduled on Wednesday or maybe for my FORUM tomorrow. Instead, I am blogging. ZAKIAN!! FOCUS! well, I am doing this just for the sake of clearing my head. So, I think I should stop now, and get started on my presentation, which would be about how being a blood donor can benefit you.

*oh, one more thing, my face has been invaded by pimples!! ohh the stress is killing me~

go through with it.

2011-04-03T23:15:00.001+08:00

you'll see when you've gone through, that is when you know whether you've made the right choices or the wrong ones, but until you actually experience them you will never know.

Clueless mind

2011-03-14T02:51:00.001+08:00

Have you ever fell for someone?

A simple, innocent crush, it makes you heart race your breath.

Your senses numb and your palms sweat, every time you see them?

Admit that you've liked someone,

head over heels. You smile to yourself, you cry for no reason,

You seem to have no sense of something real, every time they crossed your mind,

Say that you have admired someone.

You go speechless, you become silly and you just lost your words,

every time they say "hi".

Tell me that all it took was one confession.

Simple sets of words that keep you hoping and believing that all dreams are worth dreaming.

-z-

I Believe

2011-03-06T20:33:00.001+08:00

this is from an email i received, its beautiful

A Birth Certificate shows that we were born
A Death Certificate shows that we died
Pictures show that we lived!
Have a seat, relax, and read this slowly.

I Believe...
That just because two people argue,
It doesn't mean they don't love each other.
And just because they don't argue,
It doesn't mean they do love each other.

I Believe...
That we don't have to change friends if
We understand that friends change.

I Believe...
That no matter how good a friend is,
they're going to hurt you every once in a while
and you must forgive them for that.

I Believe...
That true friendship continues to grow,
even over the longest distance.
Same goes for true love.

I Believe...
That you can do something in an instant
That will give you heartache for life.

I Believe...
That it's taking me a long time
To become the person I want to be.

I Believe...
That you should always leave loved ones with
Loving words. It may be the last time you see them.

I Believe...
That you can keep going long after you think you can't.
I Believe...
That we are responsible for what
We do, no matter how we feel.

I Believe...
That either you control your attitude or it controls you.

I Believe...
That heroes are the people who do what has to be done when it needs
to be done, regardless of the consequences.

I Believe...
That my best friend and I can do anything or nothing and have the best time.

I Believe...
That sometimes the people you expect to kick you when you're down
will be the ones to help you get back up.

I Believe...
That sometimes when I'm angry
I have the right to be angry,
But that doesn't give me the right to be cruel.

I Believe...
That maturity has more to do with what types of experiences you've had
And what you've learned from them and less to do with how many
birthdays you've celebrated.

I Believe...
That it isn't always enough,
to be forgiven by others.
Sometimes, you have to learn to forgive yourself..

I Believe...
That no matter how bad your heart is broken
the world doesn't stop for your grief.

I Believe...
That our background and circumstances
may have influenced who we are,
But, we are responsible for who we become.

I Believe...
That you shouldn't be so eager to find
Out a secret. It could change your life Forever.

I Believe...
Two people can look at the exact same
Thing and see something totally different.

I Believe...
That your life can be changed in a matter of
Hours by people who don't even know you

I Believe...
That even when you think you have no more to give,
When a friend cries out to you -
you will find the strength to help.

I Believe...
That credentials on the wall
do not make you a decent human being.

I Believe...
That the people you care about most in life
are taken from you too soon.

The happiest of people don't necessarily
have the best of everything;

They just make the most of everything they have.

Interesting facts about Islam

2011-02-19T20:21:00.001+08:00

i was tumblring just now and i came across this article,

and i feel like sharing it with all those who reads this

Interesting facts about Islam
01. The Islamic calender is based on the phases of the moon, with it being approximately 11 days shorter than the 365 days of the year in the Georgian calender. Hence, the dates of our festivals (Eid -ul-Fitr and Eid-ul-Adha) move through the year.

02. Adam (peace be upon him) was approximately 30 Ziraa tall. Ziraa is a measurement and one Ziraa is approximately half a metre.

03. The Majority of Muslims do not live in the Middle East. The most populous Muslim country is Indonesia, the 4th largest country in the world with approximately 184 million Muslims. There are more Muslims in India than the combined population of Syria, Iraq, Jordan, Palestine and the whole of the Arabian Peninsula.

04. The splitting of the Moon was was one of the greatest miracle of the prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). When prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) was 52 years old, the leaders of the disbelievers of the Quraish tribe came to him and said, “If you are a Prophet, then split the moon into two parts.” The prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) dearly wanted the people to convert to Islam, especially his close friends and relatives. He prayed, raising up his hands, and the moon split into two equal halves. Each part of the moon was seen above different mountains. The disbelievers said, “Muhammad has performed magic.” They did not accept Islam.

05. The Ummah of prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) are more than that of all the Ummahs of all the previous prophets and messengers put together.

06. According to the Qur’an, the Kaaba was first built by the Ibrahim (peace be upon him) and and his son Ismail (peace be upon him).

07. Muslims do not worship the Kaaba; the Kaaba is simply a focal point for prayer ordered by Allah Subhanaho Wa Taala..

08. Prominent Kuffar like Abu Jahl would secretly listen to the verses of the Holy Quran because they were fascinated by it.

09.According to Islamic governments there are over 1.2 billion Muslims in the world today. The Muslim population of Russia alone is over 50 million. In other words, at least one out of every six persons in the world is Muslim, which is one of the reasons why …

10. … the name “Muhammad” is the most common name in the world.

11. At least one of Prophet Muhammad’s wives was African. Her name was Maria the Copt. Two of the Prophet’s wives were Jewish. Their names were Raihanah and Safiyah.

12. Albania is the only European country whose population is over 90% Muslim. It is on the Adriatic Sea, and borders Greece and Yugoslavia.

13. Former pop star Cat Stevens is an Islamic scholar currently living in England. His Muslim name is Yusuf Islam.

14. To find the Gregorian equivalent to any Muslim calendar date (i.e., 1 Muharram of any year), multiply 970,224 by the Muslim year, point off six decimals, and add 621.5774. The whole number will be the Gregorian year and the decimal multiplied by 365.24 will be the first day of the Muslim year.

15. The following English words are borrowed from Arabic: Algebra, Zero, Cotton, Sofa, Rice, Candy, Safron, Balcony. And even ‘Alcohol’ derives from Arabic : al-kuhl meaning powder. These are just a few mentioned here.

16. The first treatise on smallpox and measles was written by Abu Bakr Al-Razi (c.864-925,known to Europe as Rhazes). (Due to this) Inoculation against smallpox became a common practice in Muslim lands. Despite this, Scientific text book credit the invention of a smallpox vaccine to Edward Jenner (1749-1823).

17. Early Oxbridge students studied books written by Muslims on mathematics, medicine, chemistry, optics and astronomy.

18. Adelard of Bath (a city in the UK) was a leading scholar of the middle ages. What made him famous was translating the work of Muslim scientists from Arabic to Latin!

19. The 1860 city records of Cardiff (UK) show a Masjid in operation in a converted building at 2 Glynrhondda St. Yemani. Seamen on their trips between Aden (in Yemen) and Cardiff founded this Masjid.

20. The first purpose built Masjid is claimed to be in Woking, South of England with money provided by the ruler of Bhopal, in India (the Shah Jehan Masjid was built in 1889).

21. The grand doors of our prophet’s Masjid in Medina weigh 2 and half tonnes each! Enormous quantities of “sag wood” was gathered from all over the world and shipped to the United Kingdom to be dried in computerized furnaces (the traditional drying process would have taken many years!). Even then , it took 5 months to dry the wood! The wood was then shipped to Barcelona, Spain, where the main body of the doors where made and finally the French paid their little part, ams the brass ornamentation was carried out in the city of Roi. Next time you visit the holy asjid, keep this entirely in mind!

22. It was only in 1932 the Kiswah (cloth of the Ka’bah) was wholly made by Saudis (citizens of Saudi Arabia).

23. The roof top of our Prophet’s Masjid in Madina is designed to be strong enough to carry additional floors in the future.

33. Reading 1 verse in Ramadan is equal to reading the entire Quran in other months.

34. The Quran will intercede for people who recited it on Judgment Day

35. The Quran will complain of people who didn’t recite it on Judgment Day

36. Two of the Ummahatul Mu’mineen (Mothers of the Ummah - the wives of the prophet Mohammad) died before him, They are Khadija and Zainab Bint Khuzaimah RadiAllahu Anhoma.

37. Muslims do not worship the Kaaba; the Kaaba is simply a focal point for prayer ordered by Allah Subhanaho Wa Taala..

38. The Zam Zam well came into existence at the time of prophets Ibrahim and Ismail. It then disappeared for nearly 2600 years due to the certain events and was rediscovered and dug by the grandfather of our beloved prophet peace be upon him. The location of the well was revealed to him in a dream.

39. The black stone (as it is known), cannot really be described in full, because the parts we touch with our hands and “Kiss” are eight small pieces, the biggest of which is the size of a date.

42. Did you know that Imam Bokhari Rahmatullah Alaih compiled his collection of 7,275 Ahadith by selection from 600,000. Before writing each Hadith he would make 2 Rakaat nafl Salaat.

43. Islam is not “spread by the sword”. It is spread by the word (Islamic teachings) and the example of its followers. Islam teaches that there is no compulsion in religion (the Holy Qur’an 2:256 and 10:99).

44. Abdullah Ibn Zubair (RA) was the first baby boy to be born after Hijrah. His Father was Zubair (RA) and his mother was Asma (RA). His aunt (mother’s sister) was none other than Ummul Mu’mineen Aaiysha (RA) and his grand father was Abu Bakr Siddique (RA)

45. Muslim women wear the head covering (hijab) in fulfillment of God’s decree to dress modestly. From a practical standpoint, it serves to identify one as attempting to follow God in daily life and, therefore, protects women from unwanted advances from men. Righteous women throughout history have worn this type of modest dress. Prominent examples are traditional Catholic Nuns, Mother Teresa and the Virgin Mary, mother of
Jesus.

46. Interestingly, the inside of the Kaaba is empty.

*have you ever realize that there are always a pretty blonde and a pretty brunette for each tv series.

what changed?

2011-02-16T01:29:00.001+08:00

have you ever felt so irritated

by what you can't seem to determine

what was going on

and everything around you,

being as usual as they always are,

annoys you so much that you feel

like yelling your heart out?

then you try to distance yourself

to get away from all turbulence

but no matter how far you go

it haunts you, following you

then you start to feel like

you had no one else

nobody understands

the pain you are going through

you start feeling sorry for yourself

you start to think that you are never

good enough for others

you start to loose your self esteem

while others seems to be doing great

without you

and you'll start to blame everything

everyone everywhere

for not being there

for not saying

"everything will be alright"

but have you ever stopped?

stopped running and look at your self

and ask yourself,

"what was going on the whole time?"

what changed?

when did this happen?

and when you finally find out "why"

have you ever tried to change things?

do things differently

to help you get better

and achieve success.

let us ask ourselves,

what changed?

A day With Family, Friends and Hamsters

2011-02-14T06:54:00.001+08:00

Sunday, Feb 13th 2011

I had lunch with my sister Unaizah, brother Fadley, nephew Imran and niece Zarra. It really feels good to be around family. The kids are so cute!! and adorable! We ate at a restaurant called

Sup Utara Power which is at Section 18, Shah Alam. The food was good, and the sambal belacan was amazing! I don't any pictures of the food or the place, but I do however have pictures of Irfan and Zarra!

I went to the park later, well sort of a park, more of a field, an open field with my friends Aliyah and Syaiful, I decided to bring Gomez and Bieber along with us, since they've been inside the house, I thought that it would be nice for a little fresh air every now and then, these photos (below) were taken from Aliyah's iPod =)

-thanks yah!-

This is where we went to, photo taken from

I really had a great time!

Today also happens to be my brother, Mohamed Zakwan's 35th Birthday, so I would like to wish a very happy birthday to him, may he stay in good health and success.

Hamsters =)

2011-02-04T03:15:00.001+08:00

As some of you already know, I have got a pair of Syrian Hamsters that I call Bieber and Gomez

and on the 31st of January 2011, they have got themselves litters, or hamster pups, or in an easier way, baby hamsters =)

I don't have any names for the newborns, since I can't determine the sex just yet, but I am just so excited! =)

so here are the photos of the new family of hamsters i now own

this is where they live, for now at least, i think i need a bigger home for them,

this is Gomez and Bieber

here are the newborns

proud mommy and daddy

just a thought to share

fifth year

2011-01-13T16:33:00.001+08:00

hello semester 04!

i just can't believe that this is my fifth year staying in shah alam.

looking back, i mean, four years of staying away from home,

growing up, meeting new faces, missing the old faces every now and then,

wow, four long years.

a lot have happened within this four long years,

we had plenty of fun and laughter,

we found misery and caught ourselves in conflicts we don't need but eventually mature us.

within this four years,

we have bid goodbye to those who have departed,

even though how it may hurt us,

but that is just how life goes around.

and welcome those who were born,

with open arms and warm smile on our faces

so this is my fifth year here in shah alam,

hopefully, this fifth year will be exciting

with new challenges lurking in every corner

and bundles of happiness floating in the air,

I think the biggest disease the world suffers from in this day and age is the disease of people feeling unloved. I know that I can give love for a minute, for half an hour, for a day, for a month, but I can give. I am very happy to do that, I want to do that.

"You are the best thing that’s ever been mine, cause you and i both are the only exception, cant you see that you belong with me and I'm yours"

crossed my mind out of no where..
thanks to Paramore, Taylor Swift and Jason Mraz

i cant seem to get this out of my head

2010-10-28T12:45:00.000+08:00

this song by Paramore is stuck in my head..

i just like this..=)

The Only Exception

when i was younger i saw
my daddy cry
and curse at the wind
he broke his own heart
and I watched
as he tried to reassemble it
and my momma swore
that she would
never let herself forget
and that was the day that I promised
I'd never sing of love
if it does not exist

But Darlin...
you are the only exception
you are the only exception
you are the only exception
you are the only exception

maybe i know somewhere
deep in my soul
that love never lasts
and we've got to find other ways
to make it alone
keep a straight face
and i've always lived like this, keeping a comfortable distance
and up until now i had sworn to myself that I'm content with loneliness
because none of it was ever worth the risk

well you are the only exception
you are the only exception
you are the only exception
you are the only exception

i've got a tight grip on reality
but i can't let go of what's in front of me here
i know you're leaving in the morning when you wake up

leave me with some kind of proof it's not a dream

oh oh oh

you are the only exception
you are the only exception
you are the only exception
you are the only exception

you are the only exception
you are the only exception
you are the only exception
you are the only exception

and I'm on my way to believing
oh and I'm on my way to believing

***

i mean seriously, i can cry listening to this..

Letters to Juliet

2010-10-25T15:39:00.000+08:00

As most my friends would know

i am into cartoons and love stories,

so recently i watched this incredible movie

Letters to Juliet

i find this movie very sweet

so here is a short summary of the movie

An American girl discovers a love letter that changes her life in this romantic comedy starring Amanda Seyfried and Vanessa Redgrave. The setting is Verona, Italy -- the city where Romeo and Juliet first met. In Verona, there's a wall where the lovelorn leave notes, hoping that Juliet will answer their inquiries about love. Sophie (Seyfried) is part of a team of volunteers (the secretaries of Juliet) who respond to the letters. When Sophie answers a letter from 1957, the woman who wrote it (Redgrave) decides to seek out the one that got away, and romance starts to blossom all around.

so this is what Claire wrote 50 years ago, in the movie, to Juliet

I didn't go to him, Juliet. I didn't go to Lorenzo. His eyes were so full of trust I promised I'd meet him and run away together because my parents don't approve. But, instead, I left him waiting for me below our tree - waiting and wondering where I was. I'm in Veronoa now. I return to London in the morning and I am so afraid. Please, Juliet tell me what I should do. My heart is breaking and I have no one else to turn to. Love, Claire

so this is what Sophie answered to Claire as Juliet

Dear Claire, What and If are two words as non-threatening as words can be. But put them together side-by-side and they have the power to haunt you for the rest of your life: What if? What if? What if? I don't know how your story ended but if what you felt then was true love, then it's never too late. If it was true then, why wouldn't it be true now? You need only the courage to follow your heart. I don't know what a love like Juliet's feels like - love to leave loved ones for, love to cross oceans for but I'd like to believe if I ever were to feel it, that I will have the courage to seize it. And, Claire, if you didn't, I hope one day that you will. All my love, Juliet

hi blogspot.

i am now very much addicted to tumblr.
ever since my friend, Aliyah, introduced me to tumlbr
and eventually successfully persuaded me to join tumblr,
i have been tumblr-ing almost all the time.
haha

Draft

2010-10-21T12:32:00.001+08:00

i am living a life of uncertainties..
feeling unsure and not knowing of what is to become
dreaming of things that might end up hurting me ,breaking me
fearing things that may make my life worth while

holding on to hanging lines
that might break ant any point
having hope as i go along the road
but is scared to grab the chances
that is dangling about..
just floating in mid-air
waiting to be touched.

giving in to temptations
unable to resist
the pure source of destruction

i was checking my post and i saw this draft..
the thing is..i couldn't seem to remember writing this
and why i wrote this in the first place.
so i decided just to publish this anyway

-zakian sulhi

just stoping by

2010-10-19T03:53:00.000+08:00

hello blogspot..
i missed you too

i know i haven't been around much lately
mostly due to the fact that i am hooked on to tumblr..
haha...but that does not mean that i don't love you anymore..
because i do..

haha...but for now..
i don't have much heart felt issues
to be said in words...to be typed and published here..
there is just too much going on for me to even think of perfect sentences..
to pick out the right words..

but one thing for sure..
is that
i will be back..
to write my heart out
here...where i always have..
until the time comes

=)

the new guy

2010-10-05T14:28:00.000+08:00

"Alhamdulillah.
Muhammad Syahir Irfan selamat dilahirkan.

i was so happy that i called and text all those who came to mind..telling them that there is a new guy in the family..=)

i wanted to upload his photo..but i feel that i will let his mother have the satisfaction of uploading it first. <3

having you

2010-10-04T07:58:00.000+08:00

Having you in my life is like having stars in the sky and having money
in my pocket. means that you light me up and giving me assurance that
all will be okay. ♥ =)

stay strong, please

2010-09-10T20:31:00.002+08:00

it is hard to put on a brave face when your heart is aching with agony
but you know you just have to try..
for the one you hold dear in your heart
you just know you have to try
stay strong zakian, please

Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri!

2010-09-10T01:07:00.000+08:00

Bersempena dgn sambutan yang sentiasa dinantikan oleh rakyat Islam Malaysia dan seluruh dunia..

saya ingin memohon keampunan diatas segala apa kesalahan atau kesilapan yg telah saya lakukan dan menyebab kan hati anda semua terguris, walau sekecil mana sekali pun..sesungguhnya yang baik itu datangnya dari Allah s.w.t. dan yang buruk itu hasil dari diri saya sendiri.

Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri =)

btw gambar ni amek kat depan rumah..sgt kagum dgn bunga matahari yg besar dan sihat!

stop doing that

2010-08-29T17:50:00.000+08:00

will you stop reminding people of their mistakes?
yes everyone knows they have made tonnes of stupid mistakes
but they dont need you to remind them every time..
some people have accepted that they have indeed done wrong in their past
and some people are trying to move on

how can that happen when you keep reminding them that they did wrong!
please stop..it only hurts and kills the joy of life.
it might be funny to you..
but for some people it isn't.
thanks

24 Things You Might Be Saying Wrong

2010-08-26T12:46:00.000+08:00

i read this article on yahoo..so i thought i could share it with you~

24 Things You Might Be Saying Wrong

by Reader's Digest Magazine, on Wed Aug 18, 2010 10:23am PDT

The Reader's Digest Version of all those confusing words and seemingly random rules you missed in English class.

You never mean: Could care less

You always mean: Couldn't care less

Why: You want to say you care so little already that you couldn't possibly care any less. When the Boston Celtics' Ray Allen said, "God could care less whether I can shoot a jump shot," we know he meant exactly the opposite because 1) God has other things on his mind, and 2) God is a Knicks fan.

You might say: Mano a mano

You might mean: Man-to-man

Why: You don't speak Spanish by adding vowels to the end of English words, as a columnist describing father–teenage son relationships seemed to think when he wrote, "Don't expect long, mano a mano talks." Mano a mano (literally, "hand to hand") originated with bullfighting and usually refers to a knock-down, drag-out direct confrontation.

You might say: Less

You might mean: Fewer

Why: In general, use fewer when you're specifying a number of countable things ("200 words or fewer"); reserve less for a mass ("less than half"). So when you're composing a tweet, do it in 140 characters or fewer, not less.

You never mean: Hone in

You always mean: Home in

Why: Like homing pigeons, we can be single-minded about finding our way to a point: "Scientists are homing in on the causes of cancer." Hone means "to sharpen": "The rookie spent the last three seasons honing his skills in the minor leagues." But it's easy to mishear m's and n's, which is probably what happened to the Virginia senator who said, "We've got to hone in on cost containment." If you're unsure, say "zero in" instead.

You might say: Bring

You might mean: Take

Why: The choice depends on your point of view. Use bring when you want to show motion toward you ("Bring the dog treats over here, please"). Use take to show motion in the opposite direction ("I have to take Rufus to the vet"). The rule gets confusing when the movement has nothing to do with you. In those cases, you can use either verb, depending on the context: "The assistant brought the shot to the vet" (the vet's point of view); "the assistant took the shot to the doctor" (the assistant's).

You might say: Who

You might mean: Whom

Why: It all depends. Do you need a subject or an object? A subject (who) is the actor of the sentence: "Who left the roller skates on the sidewalk?" An object (whom) is the acted-upon: "Whom are you calling?" Parents, hit the Mute button when Dora the Explorer shouts, "Who do we ask for help when we don't know which way to go?"

You almost never mean: Brother-in-laws, runner-ups, hole in ones, etc.

You almost always mean: Brothers-in-law, runners-up, holes in one, etc.

Why: Plurals of these compound nouns are formed by adding an s to the thing there's more than one of (brothers, not laws). Some exceptions: words ending in ful (mouthfuls) and phrases like cul-de-sacs.

You almost never mean: Try and

You almost always mean: Try to

Why: Try and try again, yes, but if you're planning to do something, use the infinitive form: "I'm going to try to run a marathon." Commenting on an online story about breakups, one woman wrote, "A guy I dated used to try and impress me with the choice of books he was reading." It's no surprise that the relationship didn't last.

You almost never mean: Different than

You almost always mean: Different from

Why: This isn't the biggest offense, but if you can easily substitute from for than (My mother's tomato sauce is different from my mother-in-law's), do it. Use than for comparisons: My mother's tomato sauce is better than my mother-in-law's.

You almost never mean: Beg the question

You almost always mean: Raise the question

Why: Correctly used, "begging the question" is like making a circular argument (I don't like you because you're so unlikable). But unless you're a philosophy professor, you shouldn't ever need this phrase. Stick to "raise the question."

You might say: More than

You can also say: Over

Why: The two are interchangeable when the sense is "Over 6,000 hats were sold." We like grammarian Bryan Garner's take on it: "The charge that over is inferior to more than is a baseless crotchet."

You almost never mean: Supposably

You almost always mean: Supposedly

Why: Supposably is, in fact, a word—it means "conceivably"—but not the one you want if you're trying to say "it's assumed," and certainly not the one you want if you're on a first date with an English major or a job interview with an English speaker.

You might say: All of

You probably mean: All

Why: Drop the of whenever you can, as Julia Roberts recently did, correctly: "Every little moment is amazing if you let yourself access it. I learn that all the time from my kids." But you need all of before a pronoun ("all of them") and before a possessive noun ("all of Julia's kids").

You might say: That

You might mean: Which

Why: "The money that is on the table is for you" is different from "the money, which is on the table, is for you." That pinpoints the subject: The money that is on the table is yours; the money in my pocket is mine. Which introduces an aside, a bit of extra information. If you remove "which is on the table," you won't change the meaning: The money is for you (oh, and unless you don't want it, it's on the table). If the clause is necessary to your meaning, use that; if it could safely be omitted, say which.

You never mean: Outside of

You always mean: Outside

Why: These two prepositions weren't meant for each other. Perfectly acceptable: "Wearing a cheese-head hat outside Wisconsin will likely earn you some stares and glares (unless you're surrounded by Green Bay Packers fans, that is)."

You might say: Each other

You might mean: One another

Why: Tradition says that each other should be used with two people or things, and one another with more than two, and careful speakers should follow suit: "The three presenters argued with one another over who should announce the award, but Ann and Barbara gave each other flowers after the ceremony." (By the way, if you need the possessive form of either one when writing that business letter, it's always each other's and one another's; never end with s'.)

8 Confusing Pairs

leery, wary: suspicious
weary: tired

farther: for physical distance
further: for metaphorical distance or time

principle: rule
principal: of your school

compliment: nice thing to say
complement: match

continual: ongoing but intermittent
continuous: without interruption

stationary: stands still
stationery: paper

imply: to suggest a meaning

affect: typically a verb, meaning "to act upon or cause an effect"; as a noun, it's "an emotional response"
effect: typically a noun, meaning "something produced," like a special effect; as a verb, "to bring about," as in "to effect change"

have you ever?

2010-08-23T22:56:00.000+08:00

have you ever...

wake up late in the morning,

and panicked because you think that you are late for school/work..

and only realize that you are actually hours early from being late

because it was actually late evening and you just woke up from a nap?

have you ever...

fix yourself a cup of something to drink..

lets say hot coffee,

and you put in extra sugar to make it a bit more sweeter that usual..

but you took your first sip..

you were surprised to find out that

you accidentally added salt instead of sugar!!!!!

have you ever...

wake up in the morning..

as you always do..

took a bath..

dress up for work/school..

and realize that it is actually a Saturday morning......

have you ever....

felt so hungry that you think you can eat three meals at once...

but you end up eating half of your first dish..

have you ever....

felt so sure of something that you know is right..

and you debated with your friends

to defend the truth af that something that you are so sure of...

and your friends finally agree with you..

when you got home..

you realized that you

are WRONG!!!

DEFINITELY WRONG!!

have you ever...

gossip about someone with your friends..

and not realize that, that particular someone is standing right behind you............

have you ever....

walk so confidently in front of a crowd..

and slipped..and fell on your face....

have you ever...

dress up in front of a mirror..

and you feel as if you look extraordinarily beautiful/handsome..

and you went to meet up with you friend..

and the first thing that your friend said was..

"what the hell are you wearing?"

have you ever...

got an idea to write about something..

while you were outside with your friends..

and you were really excited to write it and publish it to your blog..

and when you finally got home..

you log on to your blogspot account..

and you completely forgotten what was it that you wanted to write about.......

and when you finally remembered...

you go on and type it down..

and feel that...

what you are writing seems pointless.....

and you just stopped..

and log on to facebook instead..

Tried Something New

2010-08-22T01:22:00.000+08:00

there was a PC and Book Fair held at the InTEC Great Hall recently, organized by the TESL students of uitm, i think..there were lots of interesting books that day..they were pretty much cheap as well..
but that is not the main thing here..the thing is..there was a shoe designing competition, where u have to register for RM2..they'll give u a form for each registration..together with the form, is a shoe template, where u need to draw, hand-drawn designs on..so i took the chance and entered the competition...and to my surprise, ppl seems to like my design..huhu..which leads to me submitting three more designs after that..the thing is..i was surprised to find out that i actually enjoyed doing that..i really really do..im not sure if i can win this thing...but i really enjoyed it..=)

Of TV and Handphone

2010-07-28T14:59:00.000+08:00

i got this email from my sister..i find this hilarious..

so i thought of sharing this here

Diff between Wife & Girlfriend

Some people say:

Wife is a HARIMAU ...............

Girlfriend is HARI HARI MAHU

And some say:

Wife is like TV , Girlfriend is like Handphone (HP)

At home watch TV , Go out bring HP .

No money, sell TV . Got money change HP .

Sometimes enjoy TV but most of the time play with HP .

TV free for life but HP, if you don't pay, the services will be terminated .

TV is big , bulky and most of the time old but HP is cute, slim, curvy and very portable at any time.

Operational cost for TV is often acceptable but for HP is high and often demanding .

Most Important, TV got remote but HP don't have .

Last but not least.......

TV do not have virus but HP have VIRUS ......

Once get it, HABIS LAH...

So better choose TV la
