Making History with Music

Salam and hey everyone!

     I've been in hiatus for a while now. Been really-really-really busy. Finally! I have the time. Thought I'd share with all of you the joy I felt when our orchestra managed to be the CHAMPION in the Festival Wind Orchestra SBP 2012. It might not seem much to some people but this is the annual competition that means EVERYTHING to us musicians in the Fully Residential Schools. Winning this festival brings pride to the school and to the musicians. It's a question of pride and glory.

     We came into the preliminary stage with two songs- Hounds of Spring and Dengar Ini Cerita. We managed to place in the top 8 and participate in the Finale. On 1st July we went to the Putrajaya International Convention Centre(PICC) hopeful and we played our hearts out to the tune of Hounds of spring. We were the second last to perform.

    We've imagined the situation of winning and losing so many times in our heads beforehand. Planning to either cry of jump and stuff...but when the moment came all of those 'plans' dissapeared. It was like the moment froze and everything else didn't matter. We proved it! We were CHAMPIONS!!

  Here are some moments that took place (some ridiculously ugly-i was crying).

Me hugging my mum! (Tears of Joy)

Me, My Bro and My Parents.

Don't Raise Your Voice, Improve Your Argument! :D

Assalamualaikum and HI >.< ! !!

   So, this time I'd like to talk about DEBATE and whatever that revolves around it in it's arena for School students(in my perspective).  Being a debater for 4 years now(been competing for 3 years though), I feel like it's one of my passion.

   From debating I learned a lot. Picked up a few skills here and there and most importantly improved my vocabulary< (XD) . Few things I love about debate:

1. Meeting with a lot of cool and different personalities 

-Other debaters are awesome socialites(lol).

-It's never been awkward to make new friends and we NEVER run out of things to talk about.

-Age never seems to be in the way of some great friendships

2. Feel like a sir>.<

-What I mean to say is: Feeling awesome 'cause you kinda know general-current-issue which makes you have an edge over others

- People look up to debaters(i think)0.o

3. Awesome tourneys

-The tournaments, especially those which are hosted by universities are AWESOME!!!

-I especially love IIUM's IDC and KDU's KidsBP

4. Confidence baby!

-Debating has really let me out of my shell. I wasn't really shy before but debate makes me even more confident!

5. Memories<

-I have had a lot of SILLY debates which always manage to embarrass me. but they're fun to reminisce. 

     Recently, I attended Piala Perdana Menteri (PPM). My team didn't make it far though but it's ok. We tried our best!! FYI: PPM is a prestigious Fully Residential School (FRS or SBP) debate competition. I'd Like to Congratulate teams from SDAR and TKC for making it to the finals! 

BTW....I'll be going to IIUM IDC 2012 which is on 15-20th June:D

Type of Friends you Should Have

assamualaikum and hhheeeeeeyyyy!

   I was bored when I started to think about some types of friends I have... I think everyone should have 1 friend for each type. why? cause only then will your life be more interesting.

 BEST FRIENDS: No matter what, you can count on them to never talk bad bout you and they're always excited to do anything with you. you'll can start world war 3 with 'em but count on getting back together before you could say FIRE!


JUST FRIENDS: You can have a great time with but they're not always there for you. Short def. you'll see them during happiness and the might disappear the moment they see trouble.


PARTY-CLOWNS: Count on them to be up to scams and "fun" ALLLL the time. Never knowing when to get down and serious. Hang around them to laugh your butt of but don't hang to0 close for comfort as you might just fall off the edge.


BOOK-GEEKS: Hang with them and there "genius" vibe might just rub off. they'll definitely help you out during exams(I don't mean cheating). And they can be much more fun than you think they are.


TOUBLEMAKERS: YUP! They're the ones that likes to search for trouble picking fights and going against the rules. AKA: the daredevils. These are the type of people fun to know but very dangerous to hang with. Once the red flag starts waving you better back off and stay safe.


SNITCH BITCHES: Want some drama? Have these people in your life and you've signed up for a part in the Gossip Girl and 91210  all at once. They're the source of saucy gossip and BF(bitch fits). They aren't afraid of turning against you in 1 moment but they'll always come back to hang around sooner or later.


These are the only ones i can think of right now...there are more so...TO BE CONTINUED. Comment a type of friend you think people should have...

Big Bang: ALIVE and AWESOME!!

ASSALAMUALAIKUM ! Whats up everyone!

  So, recently I've caught up with my beloved kpop and BIG BANG has a new Album and made an extremely DAEBAK comeback. really gotta love their new songs. I especially love Fantastic Baby and Bad Boy.

Bad Boy | Fantastic Baby

    As you can see, they've made drastic changes. Although I have to admit that I don't really fancy GD's hair, but, gotta admit he pulls it off well(as usually). TOP now has green hair o.0. and Daesung has gotten much mooooorrreee attractive. I can't choose a favorite member this time cause they are equally great. 

    Again, I have to say I prefer their LIVE performances than their MVs.

here they are:

Caprice!!! Damansara Boy Got SWAG!

Assalamualaikum and Wasssssuuup world...haha...ok that was laaame.

    Anyways, so usually I'm not into local music industry. Not that I don't listen to it. Well I listen to good songs without caring who's the artist or other things like that. But this dude....CAPRICE. A MALAY rapper, is catching my attention. And usually, I don't really like rappers.

Here's a lil' something bout Caprice aite.

He's also known as Ariz Ramli. Hehe(cute). 

He's from malaysia. 

Not pretty tall. 

Has a passion for rap and music. 

Has SWAG. 

I guess he's living somewhere in Damansara. Female fans don't hate me if I'm wrong, correct me instead.

He's released a few awesome and creative covers if songs on YouTube. Translating songs into the Malay language(without making it sound stupidly silly like some people) which I'd download to my playlist. 

This is one of it...

Just the way you are-gotta love this one

He also uploaded some original raps as well. He has release a few single. One is "Fantasy Girls" and another recent one is CHIKARO which What shawty is like I guess(??) Its what girls are called in street language in Malaysia.

Trip to Langkawi...:D

Salam and  GOOODDDD DAYYY!!

   This past weekend I had an awesome trip to Langkawi with EXIM Bank family day. It was really awesome. We took a bus to Kuala Perlis from KL and then took a ferry to Kuah on Langkawi Island. Here's  my view of the sunrise in the bus. 

Beautifl sunrise...beautiful day! :D

      We stayed at Meritus Pelangi Beach Resort and Spa. The chalet  was nice and the workers were friendly(mostly). but my favourite part would be the view of the beach. I'm definitely gonna upload pictures of sunsets from my photography soon(editings are on the way). Here's the beach when the sun's shining high 

Gorgeous huh?

     We went chocolate hunting, and shopping with my mum (a must when we come to Langkawi). Here's some of my fashion choices at Langkawi...Comments are encouraged(be merciful. please)

then we ended our trip and came back. 

PS: I just had breakfast. Arrived last night at 3.15am

a day at the national library :DDDDDD

Assalamualaikum and HELLOOOOO!!!

Today we went to the library to finish up our holiday work. Since all of us were board we decided to head to the national library to finish it together. The thing is...we were only supposed to be me & shahira. But, we met syahir, ob, (Amir, syahir's friend), zaty and dania.

Result? *drumroll. 90% done


1st time takin putra back home...I know it's lame. Let a girl have fun will ya?

To be or Not to Be......??

Assalamualaikum and Helloooooooooooo WORLD!! :D

So my question as of now is  to be Mature or not to be?

Haha... I know it might seem weird for askin that question, but really...sometimes I wish I was the most matured person of my age but other times...I wished I was as childish and cute as the next 6 year old with her big brother. Ridiculous I know. ��

Being matured, I tend to get respect( i think ) and older people(particularly ��guys) think I'm attractive but yet I see people liking cuter and childish acting kind of girls more than he mature and confident ��kind of type. I really need some�� advice. I know it's all about being urself but honestly...both of those parts are a part of me.��

so should i be cute?

and since i can't find any confident pictures that i feel appropriate....
MATURE...???

PMR!!!

That's Right! So, FYI this year, I'll be sitting for a very important exam called PMR. This exam exists in Malaysia for ALL 15 year olds. For most it's 7(non-muslims)or 8(muslims) subjects(Bahasa Malaysia, English, Maths, Science, Geography, History, Kemahiran Hidup, Pend Islam). Some take 9 including an optional subject of Arabic language. 

Firstly, I'd like to wish Good Luck! to all members!!  ^_^

Remember....100% A's is our target.. 

2nd. I'd like to wish all 0913 Malaysians good luck for theirPMR. Here are a few pointers:

 One. Always  smile!.....Of you're stressed out, smiling is one of the best things to lose stress! Laugh about something! Watch a comedy or look back at some of those funny unforgettable moments and smile! 

 For maths , do alot of  practises.  Remember those formulas and focus on your weak topics. AVOID CARELESS MISTAKES!! Math is fun!!

Ps: it's my favourite subject

 Always Avoid Being careless, perfection is what you need to strive for... ^_^

 Science is easy if you understand the concepts, remember formulas and apply in daily life....^_^

This (above) should be ours!! Fighting!!

GOOD LUCK!!

ps: all these notes are what i write when i'm bored..hehe

Happy Eid!

Salam and Hi Guys!

    I know it's already second day of Eid but I'd like to wish all muslims all around the world a Happy Eid! :D

            For those who don't what Eid is all about, Eid is a celebration celebrated in the month of Syawal by muslims all over the world after fasting for a month in the month of Ramadan. Although the concept is the same all over the world, different countries has different ways of celebrating Eid. Let me tell you about the basics first. In Malaysia, most of us would return to our hometown. Usually in rural areas:

1. After the last iftar(breaking fast) men from all over the village will go from house to house to recite the takbir (recital of the takbir is done by all muslims in the world). The special thing about this is it shows how close the villagers are with each other.

2. Kids would cheer in happiness as they play and celebrate the night before raya. Firecrackers are a must (harmless ones of course) .

3. It's a time for NeW things..haha.  New clothes (for morning of 1st Syawal), shoes and others.

4. It is also a time to be forgiving and generous. On the morning of Syawal. Families will wake up early to get ready and start the "Forgiving session"(i don't know what to call it.hehe) before going to a nearby mosque or surau and pray. (Solat Sunat Aidilfitri). Families would also visit the grave to visit passed loved ones.

5. Another fun thing about Eid is that kids..(yes below 18 is kids--') get Duit RAYA!! or money for visiting their relatives, friends or neighbours. For kids, it's a race to see who gets the most money. HAHA. But for more mature beings(*cough* like me), we appreciate Eid because it's a time to visit relatives that are far from you when you're in the city, strengthening family ties. CORRECTION: After receiving a comment from Anonymus who apparently is my band senior(who are you? o.0) kids are those who are still studying or in some cases not working yet. ^_^

6. We also hold open houses and invite friends of all races to come.

                               I'd love to post the pics of raya so..you just wait. and you'll get to see the festivity of Eid in Malaysia.! 1 Malaysia!!
