Seindah Sakura: Setuju Shakira Kahwin Dato' Malik atau Cikgu Aril?

Ni sebenarnya kali pertama sy blogging dlm BM. Sorila kalau pelik sikit- sy rasa pun pelik masa nak start tulis ni ;) Tapi ni pun drama Melayu and sy minat sangat! so gitula..


Hari ni takde cite Sakura, kalau tak biasanya sy tunggu2 je pukul 7. Semalam episod berakhir dengan Shakira diculik. Kesian sangat kat dia..Lepas satu2 dugaan yg ditimpa.


Sy terkejut sangat masa Dato' Malik luahkan hasrat untuk menjadikan Shakira sebagai isterinya. Masa part tu memang kuatkan volume- nak dengar reaksi Shakira.


Tp sy suka tengok kalau Shakira berakhir dengan Cikgu Aril. So romantik tgk dyorang. Fasha and Fahrin, dahla nama pun match. Oops *sorry Jejai* Tapi Cikgu Aril tu pun satu. Kalau dah minat kat Kira, cakapla kat dia. Sekarang ada org lain yg dh cakap dulu. So tak boleh salahkan siapa2 kalau dia tak dpt Shakira.


Bunga Sakura and lavender memang bunga favourite sy. Time Raya Cina hri tu pun saya ada post bbrp gambar bunga tu dlm blog, salah satu perfume sy pun : Japanese Cherry Blossom 
( bunga sakura).


Lagi satu sbb sy suka cite ni , sy suka baca atau tgk cerita berkisahkan seorang perempuan yg tabah mengharungi dugaan hidup. Kalaula korang tgk kat bookshelf sy kat rumah, mmg kebanyakan novel2 pun ada tema yg sama. 


Bagi sesiapa yg tak tgk dr awal, Shakira ni sebenarnya anak luar nikah. Mak dia cantik sangat and org2 kampung tak suka sbb dia anggap mak Shakira suka rampas suami org. Tp mak dia dh meninggal dunia sbb diserang AIDS. Mak dia tinggalkan dia hidup bersama moyangnya selama bertahun tahun. Cikgu Aril ialah cikgu muda di sekolah Kira. Ramai pelajar perempuan yg minat kat dia..

Sekarang Shakira tinggal di rumah Dato' Malik, pakcik Cikgu Aril. Sy tak suka tgk Nida.. eww gedik gila tak tahan tgk dia ....Ada ke org betul2 mcm2? Kdg2 tgk mcm budak2 je


So sekarang rasanya sapa lagi sesuai kahwin dengan Shakira? 

Mesti Kira rasa bersalah kalau tak kahwin dengan Dato' Malik sbb dia banyak terhutang budi tp  Cikgu Aril lagi bes. Sy rasa Dato' Malik tu walaupun tua tp masih good-looking. Dia jenis org berumur yg boleh tahanla. Tp masalahnya anak dia sama umur dgn Kira. Itu je, kalau x, sy rasa ok kot.


Cikgu Aril tu tak boleh ego sangatla. Kalau dh minat baik cakap cepat, tp masa orang tanya dia tak nak mengaku. Tengok imbasan episod akan dtg, nampaknya Kira mcm dh jadi girlfriend Cikgu Aril. Hmm,, nnt tengokla episod akan datang. Bye!

Holiday At Cameron Highlands

This is one of those random trips where you plan at the last minute and suddenly you're there! Its been awhile since I went for a trip anywhere and my first time going to Cameron Highlands too. I always hoped to go here as I heard many delightful remarks on how peaceful and tranquil the place makes you feel and now that I've gone there, I have to agree. Before I went there, I imagined it to be a small place, hilly and strawberries here and there. I realised that its actually a big town with lots of people who actually lived there for generations.


The First Day
My parents didn't want to drive there as we were unfamiliar with the road and all so we got Mr Sam to take us there and fetch us back. We left home at
 930am, stopped at Tapah R&R at 1pm and reached the hotel around 230pm. We stayed at Century Pine Resort. The first thing i saw when I entered was the remarkable chandelier above me, sparkling with beauty. We checked in and got 2 rooms; 1 for my parents and baby brother. Another for my sister, my maid and me. My maid helped us unpack and as soon as we settled down and checked out the hotel facilities, we went for a stroll down the park and walked across the bridge towards the shops and the restaurants nearby. Right there, we met Mr Selvam who came our tour guide and drove us around Cameron Highlands the whole journey. The taxi rate there is RM25 per hour so they can take you around where ever you want to go and at the end of the day, you pay based on the hours you've spent. 


Mr Selvam was a very friendly guy and talked a lot about his family and how his father used to work in the tea plantation. He originated from India but he spoke Malay and English quite well. So many native people living there. We saw them on our way uphill. First, he took us to the Bharat Tea Plantation. The place was breathtaking- the lush greenery took my breath away. You know my favourite color is green right so imagine how beautiful the was for me.... The tea leaves were my favourite shade of green. After walking halfway down the valley and taking some pictures, we decided to go back up. I wasn't even wearing proper shoes- one of the times i regret wearing heels- so we went up and had tea. The tea there was so expensive. One cup was RM5.50 and it was the small-sized mugs. However the tea is worth every dime you pay; Honey lemon tea and mint tea were the two flavours we chose. Both equally scrumptious.

 Right after that, he took us to the Strawberry Park where we could pick strawberries. OMG! Did i forget to mention- every single thing in Cameron Highlands has something to do with strawberries! You see it everywhere you turn-left, right, front, back, up, down. It was almost dark so he dropped us at a restaurant near our hotel for dinner. Right after dinner, I went for a back massage -  RM45 for 45 minutes. I haven't had one of those in like 1 month so that was such a relief. The Chinese lady who massaged me told me about the town and suggested a few places we could go the next day. She also reminded me to be careful whenever I go to massage parlours because some offered "other services". I realised that people here were pretty friendly :)
At night, i had trouble sleeping. I imagined things at the forest outside the window and it took me hours after midnight before i fell asleep.

Second Day
Mr Selvam picked us up at the hotel after breakfast. We had the buffet-included in the hotel package and right after that we went to visit the Boh Factory. We saw how the tea leaves were processed and stopped by for somemore tea. The tea was ordinary, not like yesterday's. It was pretty chilly there and I saw the Manager's Bungalow from far. A beautiful cottage designed by himself. Then we visited the Butterfly Park, Rose Garden and Bee Farm. We went to another Strawberry Park and I tried the muffins there. Next, we stopped for lunch at a Malay restaurant. Mr Selvam sent us back to the hotel at 3pm and I slept till 530pm. He arrived at 6pm to take us to the night market- a tourists' attraction. We bought so many things here. The veggie and fruits were cheap. Something special i bought there was a heart necklace. On its pendant, I carved my name on the front and LittleMissMeen at the back.
 That's how much I love my blog *hehe


The weirdest thing happened when we reached the market. We saw this hippie with a colorful outfit holding an SLR and sitting by the roadside. When we got out of the taxi, he started snapping our photos like directly focused at my sister and I. *awkward moment- i hear the frogs ribbit*
After 2 hours of shopping, we returned to the hotel then my maid and I went downstairs to relax by the fountain. The Internet connection was not very easy there.

Last Day







My brother anticipated a football match ever since my mum told him there was a football field near our hotel. He even brought his soccer ball along and divided us into 2 teams; mum, dad, brother versus me, sister, maid. We were literally forced to play along but we pitied him because he was so enthusiastic about the game. I became the goalkeeper and unfortunately i don't know how I let 13 goals passby me. The final score 13-1. *embarrasing moment* My dad said I played like a handicap and my brother said I looked like I was catching chickens. Enjoy humiliating me? *ahem ahem* Haha On my back to the hotel, I saw Mr Sam. He reached Pahang already from KL- he was so early. So i went up packed my stuff and moved into the van. We took a final photo and left. 

On our way home, we dropped by for the Bharat Tea we had on the first day. Then we went for lunch in Perak and finally we dropped by Bukit Tinggi. I fed the rabbits and watched the swans. Erfan and my maid had an artist drew a portrait picture of them. There's nothing much in Bukit Tinggi except the French-style buildings and restaurants. On our way back, it was dark and Mr Sam had to drive through Karak highway! Omg i heard its haunted.  I can't believe we passed the place at night.
After 9 hours on the road since we left the hotel, we finally reached another hill and that hill belonged to my home :)

Cameron Highlands is definitely the right place for nature lovers and those seeking for a romantic getaway with your loved one :) If i were given a chance, I would definitely go here again!

Ok so what about my May updates?


Yaay! i'm done with my May papers but still 5 more papers to go in June :) This month is full of books. Last Saturday I went to watch Dark Shadows.I was so intrigued with Johnny Depp's traditional English. When Victoria introduced herself and said Hi my name's Victoria. Call me Vicky. He said something like this          " Why would i want to miss any syllabus of your glorious name?" That is such a nice one and i really like the beauty of words especially when you know the right phrases to put together and create ironic yet meaningful remarks. Wondering why I'm not an English lit student? I'm asking the same question to myself too.


Oh and I'm following this sad Malay drama- Seindah Sakura. It only has 24 episodes so I'm guessing it will end around June. To those who watched today's episode, Shakira's mum just came back after almost 10 years! Everyone's wondering what's wrong with her face? All full of hideous red spots. Ok guys I'm a Biology student so let me make a wild guess. I am guessing she has AIDS!! She is suffering from Kaposi Sarcoma, a skin cancer for those with HIV/ AIDS. Let's see if I'm right tomorrow in the next episode. I really think Shakira's teacher is actually i love with her.... He's just pretending to go mad at her all the time.


Going for a holiday this Thursday to- Let it be a surprise I should be posting about it soon. Its just a short trip to somewhere in the North-East of KL. I used to enjoy Geography so recalling the Malaysia map here. 


I'm on study break now so its so fun to be at home. For Mother's Day we baked vanilla cupcakes. And and  Ramadhan is coming soon in mid-July so remember to replace the days you've missed everyone! Just a reminder. This means Hari Raya is coming soon and I went shopping a little bit- not much. Will do more next month hopefully ;)




I miss my besties and most of my friends- Hope to see you guys soon :)


Oh gosh  almost forgot : I was out and suddenly out of the blue I got a phone call from work- I mean my previous working place. It was such a wonderful conversation and to be continued in my next personal update! 


Till then ;)

For Mama on Mother's Day

My chidlhood days seem far away. I feel like I was in a different world at that time. One reason may be because i was raised i a different country.  As a child, I only had 1 sister. Some of you may have many sisters and brothers but since I only have one, it makes the bond stronger. The picture above was taken when I was 7 and my sister, 6.


People say that I act and look like my mum when she was my age except that she was taller and thinner. I have her picture when she was young but i don't think she'll let me post it here.
 *She reads my blog you know hehe

I remember how my mum loved to dress us in matching dresses that people we met at shopping malls and stores used to say " Lovely twins you got there."
I remember how we used to call her in the toilet when we were done...
I remember how she used to give us bubble baths and let us choose different shampoos with cartoons on it. I remember the cute toothbrush she got for us when we started learning to brush our teeth.
I remember waking up in the morning to find my Scooby-Doo bottle ( i still remember the color- green!) and drink Milo.
I remember waking up one day to find my bottle gone- she gave me a cup instead and Nasreen cried so loud. 
I remember how I used to watch 7 Dogs in Heaven while she 'suapkan' us some delicious dinner.
 I remember the lasagna and apple pie she used to make and how she used to let me help put the skinned apples inside.
 I remember how my parents surprised me on my 8th birthday in the middle of the night with a kitchen set-with the refrigerator and stove and microwave with real food inside.
I remember how i did my first Comprehension homework in First grade- it was about "The Little Bird in the Nest" and i cried because I couldn't do it. It was my mum who helped me.
I remember how she used to tell me fun bedtime stories- Sang Kancil, Little Red Riding Hood, etc until we fell asleep.
I remember how my mum used to teach me Malay and Iqra' using children books she bought from Malaysia.
I remember how i used to visit Malaysia in the summer holidays for Hari Raya and wear matching baju kurung with my sister.
I remember how she used to let me borrow her makeup
I remember how she bought loads of colorful nailpolish and paint my nails a different colour each week.

I remember the photoshoots she used to take us to after dressing us in fluffy gowns.

I remember how she used to ask my opinion when buying things-it shows that she values my thoughts eventhough I was small.
I remember how Aunt Sharon helped my mum paint my room pink with wallpaper the picture of horses.
I remember how my mum used to make us quiet by telling us there is a witch outside looking for kids to eat- we used to believe it trust me.
I remember how my mum used to take us trick-or-treat around our neighbourhood on Halloween
I remember how my mum wishes me Goodnight- She'll say " Goodnight Princess Mama" and i'll say "Goodnight mama princess."
I remember how she used to buy 2 barbies, 1 for each of us every time we went to Super K-Mart.
I remember soooooooo many things you can hardly believe. Yes people say i matured at an early age so that's why maybe i still remember these stuff. 
And I will always remember that a mother will be the only person in this world who can love you unconditionally. 

Appreciate them while they're still with you. When they're gone, pray for them and appreciate the loved ones around you. You only have 1 mother. To those who haven't wished their moms, go ahead, there's still time! 


I'm posting this picture on Mother's Day to let my mum know how much I love and appreciate her. I  know that taking care of the 2 of us may be a handful (plus the little baby boy now) but i want her to know that she means a lot in my life.


If i were to choose 1 person in this world that I cannot imagine life without, it would be my mother.

How Plain Guys Get Pretty Girls

Ever liked a pretty girl and felt that she would never want you as her boyfriend? Ever liked a cool and popular chic and thought that she would never pay attention or even realise your existence?  Hmm, I have to say that you may be wrong.  

Sometimes when you walk in a shopping mall, you realise the couples walking around. The girl can be smoking hot and the guy looks ok- no comment.  In the mind of girls, they can love someone even he is ugly or plain as long as he cares and loves her with all his heart, responsible, understanding and a good listener. 

When a girl looks for a  boyfriend a.k.a. future husband , here’s what she looks for:  ( take note that appearance is not number 1)

1. Accepts her for who and how she is and shows deep interest in wanting her

2. Responsible financially $$$

3. Good-looking   *.*

4. Educated   A.A

5. Good family background 

6. Faithful in God

But most of the times, the guy does NOT fullfill criterias number 2 to 5  but she still accepts him.  

Today I watched Geisha Melayu Terakhir and Scha Al-Yahya was the main actress of the story. She acted so well. Usually when I see her on TV she's always cheerful and funny but this time she played the role of a strong-hearted girl who lived under the Japan colonisers very well.

Speaking of this topic, I would like to relate my blog topic and their recent wedding last 6 May 2012. Scha and Awal finally got married after 3 years of love and friendship.

~Their love story~

In 2007 Scha joined a competition, Dewi Remaja and Awal was the host. He was fascinated by her beauty and personality the first time he saw her. She acted cool and didn't pose too much like the other girls. After an incident, he got her phone number but she was cold arrogant at first and only replied with short messages. After he investigated, he found out that she was in a relationship......

He knew he had no chance and she was no match for him :'(

When Awal was offered to be on the cover page of  magazine, he was given the chance to choose any female entertainer as his partner and he chose Scha.

At the end of 2008, they were both involved in a movie: Syurga Cinta dan Histeria, Although she was not very friendly, they started messaging each other more often. In 2009, Festival Filem Malaysia gave a chance to Scha and Awal to meet again. Finally in 2010, they were the host of Sehati Berdansa. This time, Scha was single and they started to get very close. She told him her problems and they shared deep stories.

At last, they got together at the end of 2010 :) His dreams finally came true....

Few Words From Scha: 

 I knew he was interested in me during the Dewi Remaja Comp but i pretended like I didn't notice. He has tried so hard and that is what makes me love and appreciate him very much.- 3 years!! Before we finally became lovers- He waited for me patiently and that shows how much he loves me...

I just finished watching Schawal on Astro Ria a couple of minutes ago and Awal mentioned that while they were dating he sent desserts for Scha every night after he finished work. It seems like a fairytale come true for Scha.... *love is in the air*

Today, they are husband and wife, recently wedded on 4th May 2012. Scha, 10 years older than me, 29 and Awal, 31 seem like a perfect couple. They are now on a honeymoon in New York. Here are some wedding photos:

PS: The show on their wedding is to be continued next Friday 10pm on Astro Ria, channel 104!

So back to the original question on how Plain Guys Get Pretty Girls- its just a matter of effort, sincerity and time.

•  If you really love a girl, show that you do because girls don't work well with sign languages. 
• Don't be too shy because girls are more shy when you act like that. 
• Be who you are and don't criticise her too much. You don't like her, leave her alone. 
• Once you make her love you, be serious and don't take it for granted.
•  Don't be too greedy and look for other girls . She won't want you a second time!!! 
• Don't force her to do anything with you- it shows you're impatient and just in love with her looks...
• Do special things for her.
• Let her know you are proud to have her as your companion.
• Get to know her family, meet her mother ^^
• Try something different- make her say " No guy has ever done this for me or made me feel this way."
• Surprise her!
• Talk to her about her problems- this is the best beginning...
• Be a man- pay the bills, be the one to ask her out, pick her up (do what you can)
• Make yourself presentable and learn to understand each other.
• Don't get mad at her easily, it shows how much you love her.

Maybe at first it may be hard to get a pretty girl but once she loves you, she's all yours :) So it doesn't hurt to work hard a little at first.  Love is beautiful so make the best of it <3

Eric Erfan- Malaysia's Next Cristiano Ronaldo

 If there's one thing I fail to understand is why do guys love football so much. My brother, Erfan, 5 years old tell everyone that he is going to be a football player one day.He begged my mom to register him with Ampang Football Club for small boys- UKRC which stands for Ulu Kelang Recreation Club. They have matches with Singapore Football Clubs, Ombak FC and many more. For big boys, they even have field trips to other states and other countries.


Erfan wakes up very early in weekday mornings to play football. He never misses even one day so far unless we have somewhere to go or important events like the wedding last week. One morning, he wasn't feeling well so my mum didn't wake him up. He awoke by himself at 8am ( training starts at 830am) and started crying. He asked my mom " Don't you love me anymore? If you do, take me for football now." I was so amused by this statement because it shows that football means a lot to him. My father was once a college football player so we know where he got the genes. Last match he helped his team to score a goal. 


He complains that I am terrible at football whenever he asks me to play with him. Yesterday morning, i woke up and went downstairs. Erfan was already awake early and  he begged me to play football with him on his Play Station. Despite my lack of skills, I played and lost. Later in the evening he asked me to play real football in the field. Gosh! I'm learning more and more football skills these days. Unfortunately, I feel like this is my worst skill ever. I hear so many unusual terms like " off-side" . 


Last night he watched the match - Kelantan vs the Lions and Kelantan won 3-0. He supported The Lions yesterday. Anything related to "balls" would be his favourite thing.


Can someone please tell me why guys enjoy football so much? I still fail to find the answer.

Interesting Facts On Malay Wedding

Last Saturday my family and I had a trip to Malacca. Wow it felt like an early Hari Raya celebration! It was my auntie’s wedding so there were many people indeed.  I hadn’t seen some of them since Hari Raya last year so you can imagine how  big the crowd was.  We stayed at a hotel right next to my great grandmother’s house. She passed away  but we still gather in the “long” house for special gatherings.  Yes it sounds like a village. When you’re in the city most of the time, spending time in the countryside once in awhile is what I like best. 


Today I’m going to tell you about the Malay marriage and the special customs Malacca people carry out during the special day.
For Malay weddings (and I’m sure for almost every wedding) the men suffer a little because they are to be responsible for the newly wedded wife, future kids and their marriage. My aunt and new uncle engaged last year  in 2011 before Hari Raya. Then, they planned for their marriage a year later which was yesterday. 


In the early morning, the men ( the groom, his dad and the bride’s dad) conducted the akad nikah. Its  an agreement between the bride’s father  and the groom.  Its another way of the  father saying : 


“ I accept you as my son-in-law and hand over the responsibility of guarding my beloved daughter with love, care and compassion and I trust this young man to provide eternal happiness to her now, forever and always.”    


They shake hands and the bride and groom agrees.  Finally they are lawfully bonded to each other.  As the bride sits on a beautiful  throne surrounded  by artificial flowers –large and graceful imitating dancing swans in the living room.  He bows down to the girl of his dreams,  she takes his hand and he kisses her  on the forehead, thankful that they have finally achieved their dreams of being together forever. She shed tears and the women were all holding tissues in their hands prepared of the unexpected tears that betrays  the eye during some part of the ceremony.


He leaves her with a promise to come in the afternoon for the “majlis persandingan” where the guests arrive, give presents, bless their wedding with prayers and by sprinkling flowers, yellow rice and scented water. (I am having trouble translating here-usually these terms are in Malay) Its called tepung tawar. You do this as soon as you reach the wedding ceremony to show your blessing. My dad did this for the first time and he sprinkled a lot of those flowers that it got onto the brides eyelashes so I groomed her right after that. 


In the afternoon, the groom arrives with his “ Best Man”  and his family. Ok here’s the funny part! In Malacca, the weddings have something called  “bayar tol” whereby anyone from the bride’s family asks for money from the groom on his way inside the house.  So the groom had to go through 4 “tolls” before he was allowed to enter the house and go up the "pelamin" to meet his bride. At first, an uncle of mine asked for “tol” at the gate, then someone else asked at the porch, then my grandma asked him at the door of the main entrance and finally he laughed when a little boy stood before the bride and put his hand out, asking for the “final tol”.  The bride was fanned and her face was covered until the groom successfully reached his final destination at the grand throne beside his queen.  The fan ( which was white and resembles peacock feathers) was removed so he could see her gorgeous face. This is one of the times I regret not taking much pictures. I know  I won’t make a good photographer. My sister does ;) so let’s hope she’ll give me some of her pictures.


My aunt is such a good poser. Last night, they had a photography session and she was dressed in a Korean dress, Arabian dress, Indian gown and a royal outfit with the white veil and black tie. This information was obtained from my cousin, Alia because I haven’t reached Malacca yet at that time.
She was super stunning!  Plus she’s really fair and cute too ^^


Their wedding proceeded till the evening where loads of guest arrived at Dato’ and Datin’s wedding. My granduncle was a former Chief Police-  so it was pretty cool that he got the title upon retirement. 


Another funny thing about Malacca weddings is that the new couple will have to wash ALL the pots and pans after the wedding. No maid, no helper, nobody to help- Both of them have to help each other and go through all the pain together till all the pots are clean. Behind this custom, there is a purpose and a reason.  In every marriage, there is always ups and downs but the couple will need to go through thick and thin together, help each other and work hard to save their marriage from falling apart. So the old people decided to do this “wash the pots” tradition so the couple are exposed to hardship at an early stage of the wedding and they learn to cope with this even on the first day. 


Right after the wedding, the Financial AJK which included my grandma (did you know they even had AJKs for this wedding! And they were among the older people) started counting the money people gave during their visit. When you visit a Malay wedding, you either give money or gifts.  When they dumped the envelopes, it was a gigantic pile indeed.  Let’s go to the presents!!!! The biggest present was awarded by Groom’s Father.  I loved to see the pressies because they were so beautifully wrapped. They got ovens, microwaves, clocks,  bedsheets, albums and the best present ever – Black night gown and matching boxers! I bet one of their friends are responsible for that. Hahaha


So now I’m on my way back to KL. I got to babysit  few babies in Malacca especially a little girl-    1 year 8 months, Khadijah and a 6 year-old-boy, Adam. She didn’t even let me go when it was time to leave. I love manja babies because my brother doesn’t want to be my cute little munch-kin pie anymore with the reason that he’s already big. But but  he’s only 5 +.  That’s considered a baby right???
I even peeked into the bride and groom’s room. One word- WOW. No wonder they call it “Raja Sehari” It means King For the Day. The bed even had its little chandelier at the top. 


So which part do you like best about Malay weddings?

Ever Felt Hard Choosing A Career Path

When we're in school the most things we'll ever think about are: doing homework, completing assignments or perhaps going for a tournament and maybe giving a speech or two.


When the bell rings marking the last of day of high school, another bells rings too - marking the beginning of a career path. 


Why is it so hard to decide? Why are there so many options yet so little choice? How come it feels so difficult to make a decision? Guys, I'm more than honoured to declare that you are perfectly normal. Every teen, stepping into adulthood will face this phase of life where you ought to make a decision for your future. As easy as it sounds, you may be surprised at how much hassle you'll be facing once you face the situation of "deciding." 


So many factors need to be considered. So many people to gain approval from. So much serious talking. Yet you didn't see this coming and never expected it to be this hard. 


I hate to say this, but some people just choose a career path because they think it sounds "professional" or it makes them sound "smart". However, what they fail to realise is that forcing yourself to do something that you're not good at and have not much interest is actually another way of "carving your own tombstone." You will suffer and you will face the ultimate consequences. 


Yes, who says its easy to know what you will enjoy doing in the next 30 years? Making decisions are full of risks but taking the risk is the only way to gain its benefits too. 


Parents do play a role at this point. They seem to have their own plans for you. Nevertheless, you know your own potential and your own interest so if it contradicts with what your parents want you to do, the best way to deal with it is to politely decline and discuss with them on whats best. Sometimes what they choose for you may be the best. Sometimes, not. 


A good way to do this is by talking to someone who is experienced, usually those older than you who have faced a similar situation. You don't have to be blinded by too much ego and ASK because life gets fun as you learn from people. 


Make a pros and cons list so you see it clearly and not just jumble everything in your head.


Don't stress out too much and always always remember this. Its not what you do, its more to how you do it.


You can be a regular person doing a regular job but because you work hard and show great performance in what you do, you may end up better than someone who started off with a "posh" career.


To me, all this " I am better than you" is plain childish. Some people are just  giving superficial remarks like repeating some statement they probably got on the radio. Giving your comments about something you have lack of knowledge about shows how immature you really are.


Once you have decided on doing something, go for it. There may be thorns and mines on the way there but they are anywhere so why worry?


In a nutshell, if you ever felt difficult facing the future, bear in mind that you are not alone. Millions of people out there are facing the same situation. It is just a matter of time and mind. :) Smile and the world is yours. *omg this sounds cliched ain't it" Oh well can't think of a better ending. All the best!

What To Do When You Feel Down

Easier said than done. Its easy to advice and say things but when it happens to ourselves, dealing with it is not easy. I believe that if we are always reminded of the good things, it will soon be an automatic response and sealed into our minds permanently.


A few days ago or was it yesterday that I was feeling down with no mood to do anything. It occurred when I came back from classes and the feeling was really unexpected. Of course I resided onto my precious blog as a form of pleasure but with no mood to even write, I left my blog with 3 half-written posts. Not to mention all 3 were remain unpublished when I logged out. I am concerned about the quality of my writing here so I didn't want to publish anything that was not tiptop ( in my point of view).


When I felt down the other day, I was basically home alone. My parents were out my brother was at my cousin's house, my maid out and my sister was nowhere to be seen. So it was me, myself and I :) Another reason was because I just finished discussing a serious issue at college involving 2 parties- and that was exhausting indeed especially when it involves the authorities and I'm the middleman. Finally its almost over.
Did you realise that these emo-feelings always hit us when we're alone or by ourselves?


After attempting to keep my eyes on some boring reality show I went upstairs into my room and do what typical teenagers always do- handphone. I dialled and texted a couple of my bestfriends- please don't be offended if you're my bestfriend and you're reading this and I didn't text or call you- because after a few replies and answered calls i was busy replying rather than creating new messages. 


If you're a girl, then I'm sure you've encountered this at some point of your life, much more than the other population of course. Those monthly cycles are not as easy to handle afterall -saying this after years of experience whoops- 


If you are feeling down, here's what you can do:

• If you think your feeling is just random and you're feeling sad for no reason, write it in your diary. Its better to write it to yourself first instead of telling anybody because you may realise that it sounds childish or unreasonable after seeing it on paper.

• Speak to someone who cares or a person close to you like your mom, sister, bestfriend, etc. The reason why I added -who cares- because there are some people in this world who don't actually care to listen and they just want to know what's going on in your life.

• Think of something you really love to do- your hobby and begin doing it.

• Keep yourself busy with homework and chores and to-do-list. You will realise that when you're busy you think less of unnecessary things.

• In my religion, you're advised to pray or recite the al-Quran when you feel sad. If you can't pray then there are special verses or zikir. Thinking of God keeps the mind at peace, especially when you know He is the One who can help you with anything and everything.

• Keep motivational words or phrases in your laptop or in your room. You may never know when you need it.

• Think of how lucky you are while some people are suffering out there with so many natural disasters and catastrophes in their lives.

• Read a book. It helps keep the mind at peace.

• Eat something you like- ice cream, coffee, chocolate. It raises sugar level- sometimes we feel down because glucose level in our body is low *Biology student speaking here

• Read the news so your mind will return to reality of the world around you.

• Go shopping if you're in budget and buy something you like.

• See someone you love or have been missing *whoops secret revealed

• Make someone else happy and you will be happy too.

• Listen to people's problems so you know you're not the only one facing problems.

• Avoid doing things that make you feel lifeless like going online for hours without anything much to do. 

• Believe that the feeling will only last for awhile- until menstruation is over if that's the case- so your mind will cheer up when it knows the miserly feeling will end in short while.

• Exercise as it pumps up a slow, unresponsive body and brings about a sugar-rush and not to mention "sweat-rush" too

• Finally why don't you try watching this video: I took this video with a toy my friend gave me for my 19th birthday. Hey, teenagers like me still like stuffed animals too *winks
