I haven't been in the mood of blogging lately. This blog is soo dead, man. But the owner is not dead yet ok?

I am so counting the days till the last day of this break. I don't wanna stay at home for too long. I don't even have enough money to buy story books and a new pair of flats so how am I supposed to enjoy my holidays, huh? Tell me, tell me! I don't wanna read my old story books again. Oh, actually I haven't read Atonement since the day I bought it. Ok I guess I'll read that one, but I can finish it in 3 days, then what??

I wanna play tennis! But I can't during the hols. There's no one to play with.

Speaking of tennis, Inshaallah I'll be taking part in 2 tournaments, both in July and August. The July one is confirmed though and I really can't wait for it. He he.

I think my sem 1 schedule will be super duper tight, packed with events and trainings. I plan to take 6 subjects + Parenting next semester and with 2 tournaments coming up, I'll have to come for training every evening: 5pm-7pm and/or 8pm-12am. Don't forget IPAC, English Theatre Week and God-knows-what-else. ELITS' events! Yes. Recently one of the SRC people contacted me about an inter-kuliyyah sports bla bla event. Oh damn. Penat lah camni. Angklung? Yeah, I might have to leave Angklung for next sem. :( I miss playing angklung though.

Indeed I'll be very busy.. but I think I'll like being it. I hope I'll still have time for my family, friends and that someone special. I hope I won't forget or miss the little things that I usually notice in my everyday life. I hope I'll still take some time to sit down with a pen or pencil and a piece of paper and draw. I hope I won't ignore the things that have become a part of me.. and I hope I'll become MORE disciplined. Seriously.

That's all for now. Tata :).

Who's Afraid of Farabi? - June 8th 2009

The play was ok but... yeah, draggy. Nevertheless, Nani (Dr. Khair) and Raqib (Ah Lee) managed to wow the crowd with their pretty powerful acting. I think my acting sucked, seriously. I didn't make full use of my gestures.

What I like most about the experience of acting in this play is not about acting itself, it's about having the chance to meet and get to know the people whom I never thought I would be friends with. I'm referring to the cast and the people behind the scene.. well, the cast, especially. I had a great time hanging out with them and knowing them. Yes, we knew each other before the play but we weren't close at all. Although I mingle quite easily among my coursemates (since there's only a number of us), I still have my own group of friends and they have theirs' so I guess the play somehow made or brought us together.

Thank you Kat, Jack, Fit, Asna, Nani, Raqib, Kem, Sarah, Shereen, Is, Freddy (for being the official photog!) dan yang sewaktu dengannya. :p

my sisters resting after the majlis pengebumian

On Wednesday, 10th of June, my one and only grandmother left, passed away sometime after maghrib at her home on her bed (since she was bed-ridden) in my aunt's arms, who had been taking care of her for 2 years. I was chit-chatting with a friend for hours until my sister called and broke the news. I cried after the phone call.. but only for a while. I was sad but strong at the same time :). She will be in my prayers.

Sister's Engagement - June 13th 2009
