the first time i came across TWLOHA was when one of their tweets was featured on Twitter's main page. i was not to say in a bad place, but more of in a bad time then. i had a lot of stress in school and at home with family and friends. i was starting to get scared and nervous about my exams and other stuff and i started to feel like i was the only one facing those problems cause from my eyes, everybody else seemed fine. the tweet that caught my eye was;

“Courage is like a muscle. We strengthen it with use.” – Ruth Gordon


i read it again and again and could really relate myself to it. and ever since, TWLOHA has really been there to help me go through a tough time, to understand people better, to inspire and also to make me feel like there are worst things that can happen.

what these people do are beautiful. they remind people like me, people like us, to be glad about what we have and not what we don't. i have been following their activities and are so amazed at the number of people that they have helped just by giving them something to think about. that love is a movement. that we should be glad we're alive.

up until this day, i find myself going to their website to read about the people they have helped, the lives they have changed and the hearts they have touched.

i'm just a student that can't donate much money but i know with the internet, i'm able to follow their activities and really give my 100% support. and that might not seem like much but i'm sure that its a start and i hope that someday, i'll be able to inspire people the same way. :)

so, here's to love, life and everything else that comes with it.

UPDATES

UPDATES

yesss. its true. i'm the laziest person to update her own blog. even with all the free time, i find myself giving ridiculous excuses for not blogging. sorry. o.o

anywayyss.

a lot has happened.
uhhh. not that much actually. haha. i finally started my driving lessons which is of course a.w.e.s.o.m.e :D i really didn't expect driving to be so...exciting? haha. my instructor was nice. strict, but nice. well, he laughed at me most of the time. that's better than being mad right?

i'm going to Singapore soon. and i'm gonna watch Super Junior's SUPER SHOW 3 there.mosh pit tickets baby. haha. yeaa, be jealoous biatches.

and hopefully next month i'm gonna get myself a job at my local clinic. as an assistant hopefully. and i'm gonna do some volunteer work at the hospital. really looking forward to that. :)

i have also decided that i'll take things one step at a time. although i envy a little (A LOT) of my friends and ehem ehem cousin who are already in college. i just remind myself that i have my own reasons to wait and that i should just be really happy for them. so, while i'm waiting, i'm really enjoying myself spending time with my family. it seems that last year, i cared more than my examinations than my sick grandmother. how sad was that girl right?

i'm planning to start my japanese class and violin class but i think i will do that in february too. cause i have spent a hell lot of money this month and i want to give my mom a break. so yeahh. i might not know where i'm sailling too. but at least i'm sailing smoothly. for now. C:

ohh. and i think i really really want to go for Justin Bieber's concert. i'm not THAT much of a fangirl but i think he's worth it to check out live. takers? :D

TO WORK OR NOT TO WORK, THAT IS THE QUESTION;

i have been such a lazy bum these past few days. i wake up pretty late. and then attempt to exercise before deciding to take a break which ends up to be 2 hours crapping on the computer. after that i eat and then probably watch some tv and yeahh, story of my life.

although i do have a lot of plans in mind, i haven't really succeeded in doing most of them.

for example, my driving licence, would you believe that i have not yet registered? i know, moronic right?

and then the whole baking course thing, i have no one to take me to the place where i'm supposed to embrace my baking side.

and gym. my mo has no time to take me to the gym.

yaaaaaaaaa. its getting really annoying. >;(

anyways. today, i went to The Store to buy bread and nutella, i ran into Farhaqqi* again. this has got to be at least my 4th time in two weeks and i'm starting to think that he might get the wrong idea. i just always have things to buy and The Store is really really practical for me. back to the story, ok so, ran into isn't probably the word i should use. its more like i lined up at the cashier where he was working. i swear it was because it was the shortest line and not because i'm interested in him whatsoever. (defensive much?) XD

conversations starts;

me; heyy
farhaqqi; kau ni, asyik beli barang je. bila nak kerjanya?
me; WOIIIII. 

haha. sabar je kan. suka hati je kutuk orang. its not that i don;t want to work, its just that my mom thinks that i won;t have time for my driving lessons and all the other stuff i want to do. but after hearing how much he was paid, i think my mom just may have changed her mind. haha. so, before you know it, you might just be seing me in The Store at the cashier counter next to farhaqqi, counting change. ;D

NEW YEAR.NEW DECADE. <3


so, i was conveniently in Singapore for the new year and it was really a huge experience for me as it was my first timein the country. being a malaysian who happens to really love her country very much, i have always wondered what the fuss was about. don't get me wrong, i really just didn't have a clue on how a country so small could be so influential to the world.

staying there for 3 days was sort of an eye-opening experience i suppose. i have come to realize that Singapore is a country that knows no limits irregardless of their size and that is something i'm definitely very impressed with. they're always trying to do everything and be everything. there was a time where i thought that i didn't think they should have because of their concentrated population but now i understand that because of the fact that there's so many people in Singapore, they have to always move forward and be better.

walking around Orchard Road, i saw a lot of people. of different races and religions. its almost the same scene here in Bukit Bintang, Malaysia except for the fact that i think people in Singapore are always moving faster. Abang Arif asked me if i would consider studying here in singapore. and i really gave it a serious thought and i resulted in saying that i would. consider. you see, the thing in Singapore is that its so modern and forward and that is not always a good thing.

i can see myself there as a young student, but not when i'm old. so, yeah, that's a part of my opinion. and only after 3 days and not much exploring, i'm already quite impressed. i'm probably gonna be heading there again later this month as i'm just so curious to see the universal studios in sentosa island that i missed during this new year trip.

anyways, i did take a long walk on new years eve from my very nice hotel to the marina bay sands to watch the fireworks. and it was incredible although i wasn't actually suprised. i mean, it was expected for it to be incredible right? kudos to Singapore's police who really managed to control the crowd. i couldn't imagine if it was malaysia, no offence. the vibrant and colourful fireworks were just amazing and i didn;t even have the best view. seriously.

so yeahhh, that's my singapore experience. and i think, the best is yet to come. :)



ps. no haters please. i's really just MY opinion and should you have a different one, stick to it. i just know so much.

procastination

so yeahhh, i have absolute dignified reasons on why i haven't been updating.

ichi; SPHREAKINGM; of course its over now but it definitely took a lot of my time last year.

ni; the ambitious thought of having a new blog with a really cool layout.

san; traveling A LOT after i was done with my exams. (i shall eleborate later)

yon; the computer was just being really annoying.

go; deciding that i didn't want a new blog but still wanted a new layout. yeahhh, it didn't go well.

so, here i am, blogging FINALLY. at my not-exactly-old-just-abandoned blog and i'm just not gonna change it for the time being. i have come tot he conclusion that html codes and i are not exactly good friends. i decided to forgo the whole new look thing because its taking tooooo much of my time and energy and the results are blegghh. and i have just so much to tell and to blog about now that i'm done with SPM.

did you realize? there was a lot of liquid sunshine this week :)
