Choosing A Scholarship: JPA or Shell Scholarship:)

Dear all, thanks for taking the time to read my blog. Here is a topic that I thought would be interesting as practically EVERYONE is asking me about it. hahaha Ok so I graduated from school in 2010 and managed to pass my SPM with straight A+. Even before SPM and getting the results, my aim and goal was to achieve a full scholarship and that is why I studied hard and worked persistently throughout my school years. When I was small I asked my mum the importance of studying hard and to get good grades. She explained that it is for later on when I go to university and she told me how expensive the cost was if we were to pay ourselves. I still remember that time although I felt so small and it felt like ages ago. I wanted to achieve a full scholarship and I did not want my parents to have to pay for my higher education as a token of appreciation. At least this is something I can try to do and they can save their money for other important things. I applied for many scholarships but the m...

Cooking

Since that day that I messed up while cooking curry, I recently cooked it again 2 days ago. That time I used turmeric instead of curry powder because they looked the same to me. Whoopsies! Guess what? Everyone said that is was nice and much improvement. Today I made chillied chicken (ayam merah) and my sister was like " Mum, did you cook this? It tastes nice." hahaha Well, I am seriously enjoying the fun of cooking and eating the food I cook. I had no idea last year that I could cook one day. To me, its really fun because we can try out different things and change the recipe as we like it to be. I like sour food so I always add lemon juice into the dishes:D while my mum likes to use asam jawa( not sure what its called in English). All this food talk is making me hungry. PS: Today I was suppose to take another piano video but my brother wouldn't let me. He wanted to watch TV the whole day so maybe I'll take it another day and post it here. Till then!;)

Life After SPM

SPM ended on 8th December 2011 ( Biology was the last paper) which meant freedom started on 9th December 2011 onwards! Schools over and of all the things I planned for I did not I repeat I do not plan to start on ANY course in January because of many reasons. That was first on my Not-To-Do List (not that I have one). I wanted to do so many things after ending school life which lasted for 12 years ( 1 year-Kindergarten, 6years-Elementary school, 5years-High school). I wanted to learn to cook, get my driving license, go out for movies,karaoke,bowling, outings,etc shopping and relax, practice more on piano, try getting a job , stay at home and just do basically whatever I wanted to do. Ok what I mean when I say this is doing anything I want to, wake up at any time without thinking about exams, classes or much commitment. You see, when I do something for example go to college I want to be able to give full focus and do my best. In order to do that, I have to "want" to study ...

Death of A Pet

My sister's guinea pig died this morning. Do you remember the earlier post where I described Timmy and put pictures of him? He's gone... Unfortunately, Timmy broke a tooth and got really sick. His saliva kept dropping and wetting his chest. He couldn't eat well and looked weak. On Saturday, it looked so so weak that when my maid picked it up, Timmy couldn't support his neck and just hung his neck down weakly. Now, whenever I pass its cage I remember seeing it there. I remember taking photos of Timmy for my blog. But now, its under the ground resting. Its really sad that Timmy's gone and there is no more hearing it call us or squeak when its hungry. My maid and my sister should feel the saddest cuz they are the closest to it. She buried it near the playground in front of our house. May Timmy rest in peace down there. One day, we are having fun playing with you and another day you are gone. That's life. People, animal, things come and go. Be happy while they are...

Baking Cupcakes For Teacher's Day

Image
Dear blog, hmm,, it feels like quite some time since I wrote in here. Ok let me tell you about this whole week. I was grounded so couldn't online..NOT just joking. I can't remember the last time I was ever grounded- I'm a good girl O:) (angel smiley). My white Apple Macbook was always on my study table but I just didn't have time to go online for the past 4 days. Pretty busy this week. I'll start with Thursday. It was our baking day. We were going to bake cupcakes for our high school teachers. I was the first one to reach Puteri Sara Alyssa's house at 9.30am on Thursday 26 May 2011. Then Raihan came along then Izham. Then Atul and Madihah and finally Najat in the afternoon. We baked 4 flavoured cupcakes: 1. Chocolate 2. Vanilla 3. Red velvet 4. Banana-chocolate My sister also baked brownies at Syira's house. We tried each others recipe when they came over to Puteri's house in the evening. This year seems like cupcake year. Many people ar...

Piano: Mariage D' Amour

Here is the video I promised a few weeks ago. Finally managed to take it yesterday. Please excuse the pajamas( was lazy to change) and the TV (if you can hear it cuz my brother was awake at that time haha). This is my my number 1 favourite song on piano. I play it all the time, I even have a previous post telling you how I started playing it, hearing my neighbour play and all. Sorry if there is bad lighting or anything cuz its my first video..hee Will be more videos to come. Do visit again. Hope you enjoy! Here's the link from my previous post: My Piano Collections: Fall For You by Secondhand Serenade Mariage D'Amour by Richard Clayderman A Whole New World: Aladdin Theme Song Unfaithful by Rihanna

Being An English Teacher

Goodafternoon Teacher Yasameen! Good afternoon class!:) That's how my day begins on Saturday at Brillington Language Centre. I love small kids and English is absolutely great for me besides Math:) I remember when I was small, I would follow my mum to the university she taught partime and she would give me an empty classroom. Instead of doing my work I would ALWAYS ALWAYS anticipate those days when I could follow her to work and pretend to be a teacher in the classroom. I would get the whiteboard marker and start writing and explaining. My little sis would always have to be the student and play along with me and sometimes she would be the teacher. When I was small there was 2 things I loved to do: 1. Play teacher. 2. Scan books/ items ( I used to go to the nearby library often. In USA, we had libraries near our house and it wasn't hard to find any books. So I would go there every week/ fortnight and borrow a couple of books. I would watch the lady s...

French Manicure

Image
First, just wanna let you know I just wear nail polish at times when I cannot pray. I am aware that nail polish= prayer void because water will not reach the nails when taking wudu' and wudu' is important to clean yourself before prayers.:D Ok so I did this french manicure MYSELF!! Weee:D:D I know its not perfect like doing manicure at a nail salon but its looks frenched up doesnt it? haha Well last month I did the normal manicure and it was RM 30. I enquired about the french manicure and they said it was RM40. Well this month I want to be more economic because I'm going out for movies and stuff. So, I decides to do it myself. Pros: I get to save RM40!! Cons: I only get to do it on my left hand. I'm right-handed and not ambidextrous (Wow! This is the term used for people who can write with both hands) teehee;) PS: If you want me to do it for you, I'd be more than happy to do so! For people, I can do all 10 fingers.

Be Rational, Not Emotional

Dear all, can you remember a time that you found out something the wrong way? As in you knew about something unpleasant about someone close to you by coincidence and not the person telling you her/himself? That is NOT a good feeling is it, especially if what you found out has something to do with you and you had no idea all along. Sometimes things you "get" to know are unpleasant and they make you mad, sad, disappointed, angry, everything! But what I'm trying to point out here is that all this happens because we are being too emotional and not rational. What if it is wrong? What if the person who you thought did something wrong to you has a reason for doing so or maybe it is not what you think?? That's why you should talk to the person him/herself before making any assumptions. Something may have happened and you may have thought otherwise. You start having bad thoughts about the person and you feel like they have betrayed you and not appreciate you for who you are. I...

I Love My Brother So Much

Image
H ey there :) Hope everyone's doing great! Today was such a wonderful and sweet today for me. Ok the main reason why is because i finally and finally made the final decision for myself about my future. Everybody's been asking me about it and I haven't been able to give an exact answer as I've been waiting for a reply from other scholarships that I've applied for.However, today I am very clear about it all, discussed with my parents, teachers, and my wonderful friends. I'm planning to write the whole story today but its gonna be long so I'll write tomorrow. Ok so today I did so many things. In the morning I was on the phone with the JPA officer, Mr Tan, Mr Ven, Cikgu Raja, (called Ustazah Suhana but couldn't reach her), Vinosha and etc. Made things clear and talked to my mum too. Didn't exercise or cook lunch today like I always do because I was busy settling these stuff. Then I drove to my brother's school and picked him up. Right after that, we ...

ADDICTED TO LOTION

Before I'm going to sleep I just wanna say I LOVE LOTION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! hahahaha not potion k, lotion. I wear it all the time and I am not addicted with anything, not Justin Bieber, not any drama or series, not anyone or anyting. Just lotion XD i bring it everywhere, keep it in a small bottles, refill when it starts to finish. Lotion is like my number one thing since I was small that I don't even remember when I started to be so addicted to it cuz it began long ago. My friends who go out with me often are not bothered to see me get the bottle out every few minutes, rub some lotion on my palm and keep it back in my bag. Routine man I know its a bad habit. Too much of anything is not good.. I am trying to get rid of this habit but i feel so dehydrated when I don' wear lotion. During my SPM days, I hid all my bottles of lotion so my hands won't get so sweaty. hehe Seems like my lotion supply is about to finish and I am getting worried. If go out without lotion, then I wi...
FRIENDSHIP Hmm,, this word really brings a question mark. What does it actually mean? How far can a friendship go, how long does it stay? How do you know that your friendship is true. Yesterday, I found a friend that used to be so very close to me in Standard 3 or 4. She added me on facebook and reminded me what happened during our friendship days. Her name is Judy Ann Marie from Ipoh. We lost contact before I took my UPSR and now I have finished PMR and SPM and finally after 8 to 9 years, we managed to reach each other again. Such a long time yet very short. There's a friend who remembers you, cherished every moment you had together and seizes any opportunity to stay in touch. And here I have another story. I used to be close with him, we used to share some of the deepest stories and after SPM, he deactivated his facebook account and changed his phone number without telling me. And I got to know that it was for his new girlfriend to avoid jealousy and whatsoever,,, Come on man! Ha...

A Relaxing Weekend~Totally Awesome

Today is Sunday so let me tell you what happened throughout this week. Today we went for lunch at Papa Johns in Jusco Wangsa Maju. Then my brother , Erfan wanted to buy this Tom and Jerry pajamas, I shopped around for shoes at Vincci but couldn't find the right one to replace the broken one yesterday. I watched Cun on Astrofirst. Such a sweet love story + comedy. Tonight i received a couple of messages from my friends, asking about scholarship stuff and then I got two messages that were a little touching and made me kind of sad: Syaahidah: Teacher, its me Syaahidah. Hopefully you will teach me next term. Why don't you teach me more? ( Ok so at first she texted me and said why am I not going to teach her anymore. I was not sure who it was and she told me its Syaahidah and I remembered it was oe of my students. I felt sad to know that she is going to miss me. Its really hard to leave them and no one knows how much I actually feel close to them. I realise the change in every stude...

Was working today and yesterday was out the whole day. Tomorrow I'll write the story. Don't worry Im just gone for awhile and Ill spill it all out tomorrow!!!:D:D Nights!

My Sister's Guinea Pig:TIMMY Here is the rodent. HAHA Just kidding. My sister gets mad when I call Timmy that and she says he's offended. Ok so lemme change that sentence. Here is the guinea pig. Gosh I think I'm allergic to it. I'm sneezing even while typing here on my blog. We got it when it was small , just a few weeks old I think and now its getting bigger and bigger after 6 months. OMG it eats so much my maid has to feed it thrice a day. Thats why its growing so fat (no offence Timmy), you look cute and chubby. Just took his picture and thought of posting something cute for a change tonight. Enjoy looking at the rodent. OOPS I mean the guinea pig.!! PS: In case some of you didn't know, guinea pigs tend to communicate with you when you call their name. They make a different noise when they are happy, hungry or scared. Guineas like to be pampered most of the time and they love attention. Timmy's fur is silky and nice because of his healthy diet I guess. He ...

Its Tuesday

Today I fasted to replace the days I didn't last year. It felt so great to hear the Maghrib calls for prayer (azan). Me so happy:D:D My sister is having a Chemistry exam tomorrow so we studied a bit but we didnt get to finish all though. I want to upload the video of me playing piano .....hee but I haven't found the perfect time to do the recording. The video I've got needs lotsa editing with images of people walking in the hallway and wrong positioning of camera. It was a video of me playing UNFAITHFUL BY RIHANNA . I don't wanna post it pretty please!!!! Ok so suddenly memories of high school flashed in my mind a few hours ago. I remembered the people I used to meet and wondered what they are doing now. I don't exactly stalk random people (just those who are close with me hehe) Sometimes I wanna ask but I'm kinda shy so yeahh... I do get shy at times with people I'm not so close with. Maybe those who are close to me think its weird of me saying this but yea...
When I Speak English At My Kampung,,,, Here is how it goes; :P Me: SHAAAAAZ! Where in the world were you? I was searching all over for you.. Shazlina: I was up in the front. You didn't see me?.... Me: Gosh sorry..I just arrived. Nek Yah: ( Looks around dramatically and says) Aku ingat aku kat London tadi. Nasib ada Nek Teh sebelah aku. Kat Melaka rupanya.. (hahaha sorry..dh biasa la)
EXAMS EXAMS EXAMS Let's see. Exams are a common word. Wherever you go (if you are a student) you will have some sort of exam right? In Malaysia the most important exams for teenagers are PMR and SPM. I had my SPM last year so its pretty new and I still remember the experience. People keep on thinking I like exams but no way !!! I DO NOT:P Exams are stressful and they require focus and discipine if you want to get good grades. Yesterday a friend of mine, Alia told me that she is deactivating her fb to focus on exams till her PMR. Its not a bad thing because fb can really take away your focus if you are too indulged in it. During my PMR days, I didnt have fb nor was I active on any social network. During my SPM, I promised myself that I could only go online once or twice a week ( NEVER ON MONDAYS TO THURSDAYS) unless for a good excuse. I limit the hours when i go online expect for the day right after an examination. For those days, I don't put a limit and I just go on for as long...
"Sometimes you meet people and you feel like you've known them for a long time." - John Cusack Ok so yesterday I went out with a friend that I just knew. Actually I did not just know him. We met 2 years ago at a friend's house. Had a chat after he called me over and since then no contact. Met him a couple of weeks ago after school was over while meeting a friend of mine. He seems so different now. Kinda shy and well different than when I met him before.Different in a good way. So why did I choose that as my Title? It just seems that some people you meet seem like people you have known for a long time. Besides the fact that he knows almost all my close friends, we can chat like talking to an old friend that I haven't met in a long time. And I can't do that to even some people I have known long enough. Its nice to be out with the guys sometimes. I had a great time. We didnt actually have a day out to somewhere special or something. It was really relaxed and we w...

If I Can Choose An Animal

I would like to be the swan..........=)=) It is so elegant and I like to see it swim gracefully on the water. Is not so noisy and doesnt seek much attention either. Princess and the Swan Lake:D Unlike the cat, who is soooo perky ..hehe I kinda like cats or kittens a lotte but i wouldnt want to be one. Haha Actually I wouldnt want to be any animal just saying this for fun. Ok so I do like cats and I used to have bunch of files full of pictures of cats. I would open a file to keep my test papers and have 10 cats looking straight at me. Cat Haters hate to see my file. Like my friend Vinosha wo used to sit next to me in class. Poor her hahah she had to see my cat files everyday. But common admit that it is kinda cute;):)

The World Is Getting Creepier By the Minute

Today is such a pleasant Friday. I've always liked Fridays. During school, this is the only time we get to go home early and nothing much usually happens (in other words, it has always been a peaceful day). *smile and look at the clouds. *.*haha Sorry for my dramatism ( ok Im not sure if thats a word) because I like drama, acting, theatre, stage, poetry, Shakespeare, and etc... Ok so last night was the first time not having a bad dream after a few nights dreaming about murder, hiding, someone killing me, death of people, such horror dreams I cant even sleep peacefully.. I read my prayers before going to sleep and I have not watched or read any ghost stories in quite some time. I don't know why I'm dreaming about all this. Ok so like I said Fridays are always great and last night which was Friday night, I did not dream much. I just had a dream about my work and the kids I teach. That's all I can remember. Now back to the TOPIC of my post today. "The World Is Getting...
