lessons learned from friends

i know i don't have the ability to write like raje. or even make my life sound interesting like aisyah. but i'll try my best to express the gratitude i felt over meeting my friends...

where should i start?
maybe i'll go with primary school friends..

when i was in primary school, i was one of the popular girls. well, kinda. i think. haha! maybe because we only have around 120 students per batch, and most of us has been in the same school from standard 1 until 6. what my primary school friends taught me:

you can get good friends regardless of academic results

prefects are mostly jerks (haha!i'm a prefect too.. :P)

don't mess with girls, we are scary

friendship doesn't last forever, but it does last for 11 years or more XD XD

then, i moved on to lower secondary school. made more friends, but mostly i hang out with my own crowd. and i'm not that popular in lower secondary..haha! maybe it is now i started showing my weirdness and my deviation from the crowds..most of my friends now are from same class, as we have less time socializing during school hours, and i don't get to meet my schoolmates outside school time. but here's what i got during my 3 years of lower secondary:

same interests can bind you through the barrier of languages, races and classes (all of my close friend during lower secondary are chinese, and they are from different class from me, i mean, school class, not social class)

boys can cause a huge war among girls (one of the reasons why i'm not close with the malay girls)

cliques are fun, but at the same time, cruel

crowds are for the popular, the boring, and the one without principles (haha!!kidding, kidding!)

time for upper secondary. and the girl who can't do anything tried to live on her own in a boarding school. me, who are used to living with guys (i got two brothers, and we're close) suddenly surrounded by girls, and gossips. girls do gossip a lot! but that's one of the fun part i guess..XD XD XD.. the lessons i picked up here:

don't let the crowd get you. high schools are cruel place, but people changed once they've left school.

being different is fun, unique and memorable. i mean, how many girls can claimed they've been chased by teacher for playing fireworks and mercun at midnight???

good friends are easy to find, if you know where and how. i got lots of good friends here, and we still contact each other.

guys held such a tight string over girls. most of girls perspective are shaped by guys (that's what i found out in high school)

wow! i've left school! now i'm in intec, preparing for my big debut in university. i still have lots of fun, and suddenly, guys are being good to me! here's what i find out:

good guys are easy to find. serious.

being yourself have a lot of benefits, i.e you don't know that the cute guy next door like wacky girls, nor do you know that the quite girl over there really likes hanging out with loudmouths.

looks can be deceiving. in a good way. you never know that the clever girl likes japanese music, or the macho looking guy has an obsession with manga and anime..

being active can broaden your perspective, and got you a vast diversity of friends. i mean, if i don't join the theater, do you think i can be that close to didi???

aahh..finally the time have come for me to enter the university...i have a lot of good friends here, and the lessons i've learned seems to repeat themselves.. so no new lessons learned except:

i didn't know seniors can be this interesting or this good to juniors!!!

older doesn't mean more mature. this apply to most male seniors.

actually, this post was meant to tell about all my close friends (especially aisyah and raje), but i don't know why it turned out this way..hmmm

taperlaa..
haha!!!

well, i think one of the best thing that had happened to me is to go to that boarding school. coz there i met a lot of wonderful persons (aisyah, raje, kuzi, anet, lie, mimi, wan ali, rezuan aspar, etc), and i learned to tone down my wackiness so i can survive in the harsh world of university life. and another best thing that happened to me was intec!! God, i basically partied everyday there!! XD XD XD. it was helluva fun, and damn interesting, with lots of different mix of people, unlike the boring life of my uni...hahaha!!

but then again, if i don't come here, i wouldn't befriended all the siencrutz members, and intan, and syazwan, and jernih.. and i wouldn't be posting the picture of luqman in my blog..hmmmm... XD XD XD
MEDS STUDENTS ARE A BUNCH OF BORING PEOPLE!!! (me included.. =P)

random rambling

takuya of UVERworld:





luqman of UGM:




they look a tad bit similar it's scary...not to mention i do have a crush on takuya..>_< ps: sorry izzah!!aku tak minat luqman!sumpah!!seyes!! cuma time aku kena demam UVERworld yang melampau je aku ushar dia!uhuks....>_< pps: i do not have a crush on him!!beside's he's my friend's boyfriend!!it's only i'm having takuya craze!!

nightMARE

takuro's A string broke...how could i break the 2nd thickest string of a giutar is a mystery..damn!and i only practiced a little bit tonight!not to mention i'll be having futsal match and no time to buy that dreaded string! argh!!!

ps:kesalahan ejaan "guitar" adalah disengajakan..Uchuujin spelled it that way..i'm just following his style. XD

tell me again why i switched to blogspot?

well..this is just me trying to vent my anger at the slow connection from my internet provider to this site.

i switched blog from friendster to here coz it's like an impossible task for me to post a blog...i mean, loading takes forever!!and if that's not enough, then we'll have the "problem loading page" thingy showing right in front of my face.

example of how sucky my internet connection to friendster server is, i'm currently trying to read a friend's blog, and it's still loading after more than five pages of online manga. sucks, isn't it?

and i also have almost the same problem with blogspot, although not that severe. it's just that i'm having problems reading/posting comments. why is that happened i don't know. maybe it's due to the suckiness of my internet connection despite the amount i payed.. heck!!it's more expensive than streamyx, but the quality makes you wanna cry... to those who complain bout streamyx quality, please remember that us in indonesia we have to pay more than twice the price to get the same service quality.. DAMN!

argh!!!GOD, PLEASE GIVE ME GOOD INTERNET CONNECTION!!!

me,music,manga,anime

me.music.manga .animecan i make an album out of these? like L.A.M.B of Gwen? it'll be like M.M.M.A...cool isn't it?
haha...
i'm just rambling bout two of my long time obsession and one currently added.
which one is which? manga and anime is long time, and music is just current. suddenly i felt like i wanna explain why i'm obsessed with all these three. let's roll!!


first manga that caught my attention:





DRAGON BALL. serious. it was the Dragon Ball. all 43 volumes of it. storyline and illustration by Akira Toriyama, it's considered as one of the legendary manga series. you can still find the merchandise of Dragon Ball up until now. serious. i'm not kidding..even tho Goku probably be a real old man by now... why i like it? action-packed and uncluttered drawing. i mean..it's one of the few manga without much of unneeded screen tone every where. well..even tho in DBZ the story becomes draggy and worst in GT...but it's the anime's fault!!not the manga!! the manga was cool even until the last box where Goku flew off to godforsaken where to train with the reincarnated Majin Buu.


first anime that caught my attention:






can't remember..honestly i can't remember...i think might be Fruits Basket or Full Metal Panic...well..it's not really the first anime that caught my attention, its more like the anime that got me back to watching animes. i stopped watching any after the disappointment in Chinese-dubbed Saiyuki shown in 8TV. the dub was horrible, with crappy subtitle, i'd rather kill myself than watching that shown on tv. why can't they just leave the original japanese and dubbed it in bahasa melayu?? hearing sha gojyo speaking chinese in that horrid, horrid voice was just pure torture....


first music that make me go crazy:





L'Arc~en~Ciel. need i to explain more?? i fell in love with the album REAL, and then..wham!there's no turning back. period. the music, pulled me into a world called J-Rock (japanese rock) and convert me to a hardcore fan girl. notice the word : "HARDCORE". because of L'Arc, i'm into other bands like UVERworld and ORANGE RANGE. two totally different bands with music so different from L'Arc. heck i even took music lessons because of this band! i started writing my "things" due to influences of the lyrics written by them...aarghh!!

i fall in love with the kiss...

yeah..you guys didn't read it wrong.. i fell in love with the kiss.. kiss given by 4 very much older guys, and i absolutely obsessed with all of them.

haha!! kay,kay!! i'm cutting the crap!

first, i'm talking bout L'Arc~en~Ciel...the band that you see at my links..yes, it's a band, not just some random videos uploaded. for those who don't know L'Arc~en~Ciel , you can google bout them. i won't be the one telling you who the hell are they for 100th times..i mean, there's a lot of sites dedicated to them already, and i'm just one of the later fans that don't really know much bout them.

kay..back to my title: FALL IN LOVE WITH THE KISS

what is KISS? like i said, given by 4 talented (but perverted..urgh) old men. easily said, latest, the very latest album by L'Arc~en~Ciel.
official released date : 21 NOVEMBER 2007
album: KISS
11th album from the band L'Arc~en~Ciel, which consists of hyde (vocal), tetsu (bassist/band leader), ken (guitarist), yukihiro (drum) but it leaked on the 19.

haha...currently available for downloads..and i'm one of the impatient fans that can't wait for two more days. cool cover huh?






here's the track listing:

1.	SEVENTH HEAVEN
2.	Pretty girl
3.	MY HEART DRAWS A DREAM
4.	Suna Dokei
5.	spiral
6.	ALONE EN LA VIDA
7.	DAYBREAK'S BELL
8.	Umibe
9.	The Black Rose
10.	Link -KISS Mix-
11.	Yuki no Ashiato
12.	Hurry Xmas

uhh...and i'm still having a hard time to make my ranking of fav tracks...but honestly, to me, this album is much, much, much better than AWAKE...maybe that album is too heavy for me.. too full of questions bout life and all..

gawwdddd........KISS is soooo....addictive...I'm currently listening to Umibe when i'm writing this..and seriously, the guitar, is mesmerizing, and hyde's voice is already back to his old heart wrenching style of singing...way way wayyyyy better than previous SMILE or AWAKE...not to mention my current favourites of Daybreak's Bell and MY HEART DRAWS A DREAM...even SEVENTH HEAVEN sounds good now..damn!! and i have a lot of favourites too from this album...

ahh...tak sia-sia order three times!!!hehe!!

oh... and here's the ad for KISS:






yeah...they're a bunch of retarded old men...XD XD XD XD
(OBSERVE the first part of picture, where hyde's "sweetly kissing" tetsu...and the second part, ken is making disgusted face at yukihiro's "romantic kiss"...WAHAHAHAHA!!)
and before i forget, CONGRATS TETSU FOR GETTING MARRIED!!GOD, FINALLY!!!I THOUGHT YOU'RE A GAY!!HAHAHA!!no, no...i'm just kidding...

blackout in jackal!!!

huahuahua!!!

Jalan Kaliurang (Jackal) blacked out. i lived around that area, so my house has no electricity from 4pm till 9pm.

the reason:


rain + wind =




so...no wonder it blacked out for sooo longgg....

and this also happened :





this lane is really next to my house...and never ever before the lane was used as the main road. because of the fallen billboard the road was temporarily closed and all the vehicles (buses and trucks included) had to use this teeny weeny lane....

yep. first time ever a blackout in Jackal was this hectic (?). but it was cool though. i went out tonight with intan to everywhere with the excuse of finding functional ATMs. me, riding a bike at night with one of the rear mirror missing, and the brake doesn't function properly, and lots of other vehicles around me. plus with a passenger behind me. sounds like a recipe for disaster. good thing we came back alive and in one piece with no damage to the machine..phew..
