A night of talents

I think this is my first formal dinner I went to.It was the Talent Night of Sekolah Sultan Alam Shah,Putrajaya.I was invited by Farah.Actually,Farah's childhood friedns is in that school so their mum invited Farah.Because Mama Pu*i didn't go,Uncle Patr**e drove us there with Luqman,Sarah,Kh**ijah-Farah's best friend.Kak Fatihah and Abang Ferhan was there too.Because I was the only one at the table who had a camera,Farah asked me to take lots of pictures of the event,so I did!Our table was table number 9.The table was at the back of the wind orchestra but a bit farther so we heard them playing clearly.Their performances were very good.I would give them 10/10.The first performance was pantun which was recited by four people who won 1st place in the Putrajaya section.Later,it was followed by Tarian Zapin.Tarian Zapin is a dance from Johor.I recorded a video of them performing so you can see what they have in store.Sorry for the unsteady video.It was hard to keep my hand steady because I had to lift the camera high because the people in front of us were in the way.Their dance was very interesting and they danced to a song by Noraniza Idris.

While eating,some of us at table number 9 were very mischievous....Kak Fatihah and Abang Ferhan were eating oranges and still had the time to strike a pose for me.After the Tarian Zapin was a drama.It was about a guy who was constantly gambling until he had no money left to pay his debts.He then decided to borrow money from an Ah Long.He took a while to decide whether or not to borrow money from the Ah Long because he knew if he couldn't pay the Ah Long he would loose the person he loved the most,his older brother.Suddenly he made the desicion to borrow money from the Ah Long and reminded himself to pay the amount of money he borrowed as soon as he wins money from gambling.Unfortunately,he lost and the Ah Long's thugs beated him up and brought him to the Ah Long.The Ah Long then continued beating him up and told him that they've already killed his older brother and that's the end of the drama.The guy who was acting the role of the person who borrowed the money from the Ah Long was really crying-yes,not Eyemo!

As the drama finished,the Jazz club gave a performance.Hope you can recognise the song they were playing.

After that,the wind orchestra performed another performance.Apparently they won national level and their conductor won the best conductor award.I think they were performing Russian Christmas.

Then there was another performance on the acheivements of their school.Didn't manage to get pictures of it though,the performance was very awesome until I forgot about taking pictures!At the end of the dinner,we went back home after chatting with Farah's childhood friends.I arrived home around 2 a.m. because we had to send Sarah and then sed Farah's friend home then send me.

Vintage art in makro shots

The title has nothing to do with having a dSLR and also Macro lenses. It's just a mode on my camera which is called 'Close-Up' and it's a bit similar with having makro lenses and all that but it can't take pictures that near.

I now have a new best friend,Artline 990XF Silver marker pen.Mum bought it for me because I've already been wanting it for a very long time.Along with it,I also asked mum to buy me a piece of black manila card which I still haven't used because I don't remember what I wanted to do with it.On with the marker pen,I created a small-well not that small design of a vintage designed border and in the centre,a crown and underneath it, "S.Bucket" which stands for Star Bucket-a nickname Sa**h a.k.a Happy Bomber gave to me because I love Starbucks and then she threw out the 'S' at the end of Starbucks and put an 'ET' at the end so it becomes Starbucket.

This is what I did and actually I didn't think of the border but because it looked so plain,I drew the vintage border which looks like this.....

I don't think it's a nice peice of art really.Later,I added another one on the bottom-left hand side which looks like this....

The one on the left was a bit bigger than the one on the right but I'm satisfied with it.I've just realised that I'm quite good at memorising designs.On Thursday,I helped draw this design onto this Health Education thing and they were amazed,"How'd you do it?" I told them,"I looked at the cover of a book I was reading," and they asked,"Where is it?" I told them,"I've already memorized it of course." and they went, "oohhhh..."

BTW,Dad,Mum,don't get mad.I seem to enjoy drawing designs.

New office,new sunset

This is the view of the sunset from my dad's new office on Level 3,AmpWalk.I was bored at that time andsince I had nothing to do,I stood by the window and watchet the sun go down.As the sun went down,I also managed to snap a lot of shots of it.It took only about half an hour for the sun to go down.Was really a memorable moment for me.

The sun colours the sky as a farwell token for us here on this side of the earth.

BTW,I won the essay competition!2nd place.Mr Ch*r says that our essays shouldn't have been judge because different people have different ideas.

Recap.

I think it's been a month since posting anything.My bad.Last week I was busy because I had a lot of stuff to catch up on at school because I had my Silat training for the competition at Stadium Titiwangsa but because of mum's maternal instincts,I didn't go.Cried nearly everyday because of that and still crying silently sometimes.Anyway,lets get on to the recap,shall we.Pictures will be coming later because now I'm posting from my dad's office.

During the schooling week last week,I had to fill forms like free dental check-up from the Government because I go to a government school.Had to finish an essay on 'Teenagers' which I entered because our English teacher,Mr. Ch*r suggested I entered it because I got 50/50 for my essay-and it was the highest.

Yesterday,went to dad's office to sort out the files which were covering nearly every inch of his old office and after that went to French class.After French class,a treat for me-Azuki coffee frappucino from Starbucks and also a sandwich from the Pie Shop.Later,went to see Uncle Man and A'qiel who both has Malaria now and A'qiel has both Malaria and Dengue.At the hospital,I decided to follow Yusof and Afiq to the cafeteria with Afiqah accompanying me and guess what I saw opposite the cafeteria?Starbucks!You should've seen how excited I was.Luckily,I had RM10 so I settled down with a cup of hot Cappuccino coffee.It was RM9.98-including tax.At home,I continued reading 'On Beauty' by Zadie Smith.Mum bought that book from Singapore for $16.50.

[To know more about Malaria,buy the latest issue of National Geographic magazine]

Today,I've just came back from Ikea.Well,actually we went to Ikea to look for blinds for dad's new office and since the blinds were a wee bit expensive,he decided to bring us for lunch at Ikea's restaurant but because lunch wasn't ready yet,so dad brought us to The Curve.There,we went to Borders to browse some magazines.Yusof spotted Superman shoes-which looked like a pair of Converse at the Metro Jaya sale and dad bought them for him.It only costed RM18!Then,dad brought me and Yusof to Niichi.A store selling lots of dresses,accessories and lots more.I picked two dresses.It costed about RM5O each.The next time dad wants to buy me a dress,I'll drag him to Forever 21 at OU.Finally,we walked through the underpass to go back to Ikea to get lunch.I ate fish & chips,yogurt and drank Cappuccino with cinnamon sprinkles on the foam.Yusof and dad shared spicy fried chicken.Now,Ime and Yusof are supposed to be helping dad put the files into the boxes but instead we're on the Internet.Yusof is on Runescape,trying to level-up his character.I'm listening to Fly FM.Yusof doesn't mind me listening to Fly FM, but usually he does because he enjoys listening to Era FM of Hot FM. Sometimes the both of us get along well.So,I guess that's a good thing.

Have a nice Sunday people!

Approaching 4 decades

That's my number one dad.He was reading the newspapers and I quickly snatched he dSLR he borrowed and took a picture of him.I sit like that when I read newspapers.
Hahaha,enough about that.But,it is the same.LOL.Anyway,he's turning 39 tomorrow and next year 40!He doesn't look his age.Trust me.He looks younger than any of the other 39 year old people I know.Now he hasn't been going to the gym so he has some flab,but I don't mind.

BTW,when is Fathers Day?I'm bad-no,horrible at dates.Trust me I am.

Happy Birthday dad!

Happy Teacher's Day!

Yes,I did it again.Brought C300 to school to snap some photos of our Teacher's Day celebration.It's a belated celebration because during the real Teacher's Day day,we had our exam so we had to wait until today to celebrate this day.Today,I counted,there were more than 2 students in our school aged 14-17 had a dSLR camera and the brand was either Nikon or Canon and I was screaming my head off-literally of course.Man,they're lucky but anyway I stuck to C300 and tried not to look at the dSLR's.



My friend brought her Olympus along.It's 6 megapixels and the pictures are very nice.I was kinda jealous of her camera but anyway,I'll have to wait for a new camera.The open hall was flooded by students both morning and evening session and it was packed but all the same,everyone had a great time.


Now that's how packed the hall was. Everyone was talking and talking until I couldn't even hear what the teacher was saying eventhough they had lots of speakers.There were lots of performances by the students and teachers.I think there were around 15 performances and the one I liked the most was when Cikgu Nizam [morning session] sang the Perpisahan song by Anuar Zain.Nearly broke into tears.
This was when a group of Form 5 students from class 5 Gigih[I think],sang Josh Groban's,You Raise Me Up.Didn't really here their voices,but when the song nearly finished I heard them much more clearly.

The prefects were on duty but as the clock striked11 am,all of the prefects started sitting down and chatting.The two girls in the picture are just prefect candidates.Will be official prefects next year after proving that they are worthy for the job.

This is my gay [as in gay:happy,not the other meaning] friend,she's from Manchester,UK,moved in 3 months ago and she's from 1 Bina while I'm from 1 Cekal.We're always gay when we're together especially during recess or when the teacher's not in class and she wanders around the corridor with me.She's a ManU fan and she's good at editing pictures using Photoshop.
Got bored for a while and went to find my petsis.Sat with her,her friends and my gay partner and while I was watching at Cikgu Nizam's preformance,saw a piece of chalk behind me.Took it,and drew this little thingy ''Saya s'Vian!''.I erased it so no worries.That's all of my blabbering for now.Toodles!

mid year.

[History revision]
Mid Year Exam started on Saturday and it was the Karangan [BM] paper and the Composition paper [BI] and I studied crazily as usual and stayed up until 2 am studying this whole KOMSAS and literature thing.When I went to school,everyone from my class were frantically asking me "Dah study,dah study?!?!" and I was like "Whoa,calm down.I have!".I wonder if they even studied or not.Hopefully they did. ;]

During the exam,it was quite easy and the KOMSAS bit was not that hard at all.There was just a question on the novel we had to study,"Meniti Kaca".Well,it wasn't that bad anyway.

After using the computer until about 12 am,went to study.So I went into my room and took out some of my History notes and some stuff teacher gave us to do and started to finish it and read it.Stayed up until around 1.45 am and went to bed,but I didn't sleep.Instead,I read my sejarah notes.That's why my eyesight is getting more worse.I thought I'd stay up until 3 as I usually do during my exam but I decided to go to bed after 2 am.

[note:I don't prefer studying study in the morning,I prefer studying at night because if I study before I sleep,everything that I've studied before I sleep will be procesed.Therefore,I won't forget what I've learnt!]

Got bored while I was studying and played with my Tigger puppet which was given to me ages ago.It's still in good shape,except for his nose.It's turned from pink to grey!My table is oh-so cluttered!The Malay dictionaries are piled up on the right side of my table and an MPH catalouge,a [beginners] caligraphy set,a study planner for high school students all reside on the left side of my table.I wouldn't say that's tidy because it used to be neater before I started high school.I guess,with all the text books,reference books and note books,it could turn my room into a library.

Talking about my libraries,my bookshelf has no space to put my storybooks anymore.I just shove them into the empty spaces on top of the other books and if there's still no space,I just stack them on my cabinet.I think I have more than 200 books already.Wow.I really am a book worm!

Have a nice week,and to those who are sitting for exams or whatsoevernot.Good luck!

last day of holidays.

Went to KLCC right after Ibraheem and Umar went to school.At KLCC,went to Kinokuniya first because I have been whining about not getting a book or two or three for the past 4 months!I've never waited a long time just to buy a book.Well,since mum's on a tight budget I'll have to control my desire to buy more books.

After stopping by at Kinokuniya,went to the concourse to get Yusof's watch,the cheapo ones which cost RM10 for one.But Yusof picked the one which looks like a Rolex watch and it was RM30!I would have settled for a RM10 which had little designs.Later,went to MAC because mum wanted to try on lipstick which she had been eyeing on since we arrived.I found it very boring and so,what else did I do?Snap some pictures of course!You'll never be bored taking pictures because no two pictures are the same.Didn't remember where I got that speech from.
The make up artises were working very hard.Looked at the Barbie collection and it was ultimately pink!Trust me.

[A view from where I was sitting at San Fran]

Hectic day

Mum brought us to Taman Tasik Titiwangsa for the boys to play football there.She actually wanted to bring us to Lake Gardens but eventually changed her mind.On the way,saw Eye on Malaysia and my impression was,"It's not that big." Didn't get a chance to take a picture of it because I wasn't sitting beside the window on the left.


Umar and Yusof had a misunderstanding of some sort.They were shouting their heads off and somehow it echoed throughout the park,and mum sort of came to the rescue but when Umar came crying, she just laughed.I wonder why...


For me,I set off with C300 of course.Picture hunting of anything interesting.Nearly got a picture of a flock of birds eating some scattered rice but they flew away as soon as I got near to them. Had to go barefoot for a while because my Asadi sandals were a bit wet but managed to dry it off for a while before putting it on again.

...and in the end,persuaded mum to bring us to McDonalds for a treat.I had Spicy Chicken McDeluxe,Oreo McFlurry and a little bit of Ibraheem's large sized ribena.Now my throat is aching.Have to drink lots of plain water later.

he's gone.

Yes,dad's gone to Mecca on 30/4/2007 which was yesterday.I actually felt quite okay before sending him to KLIA but then again,when you're happy,you'll be sad.Anyway,picture update!

I think it's been a few weeks since posting anything.Well,sometimes I just forget and with the new DVD player.Who can resist DVD's!

[among the buziness of the trollies][umar]

[sunset]

Had to stay at KLIA until about 9 pm because dad's flight was delayed and we accompanied his rombongan to Pan Pacific Hotel.As soon as we reached the exit,I received an SMS from dad,

"Don't miss me!"

hehehe.I will miss you dad!

San Fran or Starbucks?

Finally dad bought me my treat.Yes,my monthly dose of coffee or anything related to it.Went to San Fransisco at Ampang Point but from the bottom of my heart,I wished that San Fran was Starbucks.But my wish didn't come true so had to face reality.I thought the reason dad dragged me to Ampang Point was because he could get his IT stuff and take me for coffee at San Fransisco but whaddya know, when I pointed at San Fran he asked me with a blor kinda face,"Bukan ada Starbucks ke kat sini?" [Wasn't there a Starbucks here?] and I looked at him and sniggered "Dad,mana ada Starbucks kat Ampang Point" [Dad,there's no Starbucks at Ampang Point] so in the end,we had dinner at San Fran.

I drank Vanilla Frappucino whic was blended with vanilla ice-cream and on the top,whipped cream!Ate mushroom chicken pie which was RM6.50!It was quite worth it because [1]YUMMY [2]YUMMY [3]BIG portion.But I still like Starbucks no matter what! :P

dad,next month I want Starbucks.
:[

sorry...

sorry for the no posting for the past-what, one week?Had to study like,24/7 for the past two weeks because of my school's monthly test.Our 2nd monthly test was earlier than any other school which I know.Well, that's great because while other people are studying the s'Vians here are just shaking their legs waiting for the upcoming tests or exams.

maybe I'll get like 7 A's out of 9 subjects because I studied seriously eventhough I got distracted by TV.To my surprise,I watch the Martha Stewart show.Yes,I do and it's quite nice because Martha teaches how to make nice food,nice DIY's and lots of stuff!If you want to check it out,watch it on NTV7,10 am from Mondays to Fridays.I thought Martha Stewart was like 35 years old or something but she's actually 60 plus.She looks so young!Hope my parents will look forever young eventhough they're getting older day by day.

okay,
I gotta go...
want to get ready for school.

ye ol' kampung kemensah

Yes,went to a waterfall at Kampung Kemensah.Dad woke me up to do my morning prayers and I fell asleep and 15 minutes later he woke me up and said "Eh,bangunlah[eh,wake up-lah] ,we're going to have a picnic!" and I woke up,"Huh,whaddya say?". I was tired at that time because I had to do my BM portfolio and now I only have a few more articles to finish so,yaay me!

[mum]

arrived there around 8.30 or so and the boys were already excited but mum made them eat first.We ate nasi lemak and drank teh tarik.As soon as I finished eating,Yusof suddenly screamed "Ada ular!" [there's a snake!] but actually there wasn't.When Umar jumped into the water with the other boys,he suddenly said,"Nak keluar.Ada ular!Umar takut!" [I want to go out.There's as snake!I'm scared!] and I tried to convince him that Yusof was just making him scared but he protested and dad carried him out of the water to bathe him...

...but he was still screaming because he was afraid dad might let him go and suddenly a snake passes by.Funny little boy.The two other boys on the other hand..... ....they were throwing rocks and they were trying to splash me.Luckily,C300 didn't get splashed at a lot.Nearly screamed my head off when one of the rocks that Ibraheem threw nearly hit me.In the end..........we all had a good time despite the screaming and the rock throwing and whatever not.Umar's not in the picture because he didn't want to take a picture but when he walked away,his slippers somehow was in the picture.Can you spot it?

meant to be?

I don't know if my talent is photography.If it is,then yay me!Another talent!Took the picture above right after a stressfull day after the Anniversary Bash.The blue sunglasses are Yusof's and the case behind there is dad's sunglasses case.I think Hugo Boss?Oh yeah,tomorrow I'm going to the Section 5 library to meet up with my friend to do a study group.We're studying history and I want to finish my BM portfoilo which is due on Monday!Yeah,I'm cool.I'll never panic.

a week of buziness

oh god,it seems like I haven't posted anything here for a year or so.It's so empty!I actually don't have the time because I have to update on ADP while trying to catch up on MMTB.I'll try to reply your comments on MMTB in the nearest time!

next week,NO!monthly test!oh dear,I don't think I'm going to make it through everything.I have like one whole list of everything I'm supposed to do but I haven't managed to do yet.I'm way behind in studies now especially;History,Geography,Living Skills,Islamic Studies and French!NO!French test is on Saturday and I think I'm going to fail.I've been planning to sit down after getting home from school and reading over my French notes but I'm always occupied by school homework.Now I need to find a way to finish my BM scrapbook which is due this Monday!

oh dear,dear,dear.I'm starting to panic like Piglet from Winnie the Pooh.


This picture reminds me of due dates for homework.Actually took this picture for the Daily Photo Theme Day but decided to put something else.So this is like a reject picture.My blog looks so empty because there are no pictures!I'm feeling blue now.

ruby rocks!

yes,its now over.My whole body is aching!I'm glad the Anniversary Bash is over but it was a great experience.somehow I don't feel like typing anything,instead lets let the pictures do the talking!
