2012: One Of My Favorite Year

Assalamualaikum,

Hello everyone! 

"We Rise Like A Phoenix From The Flame"

                                            -The Wanted-

  I know... I know.... It has been months since I last posted anything on my blog. I'm really sorry for that. It's always because of lack of time or laziness. Haha.. 
   
  So, since it's already new year, I think it would be appropriate to write about my 2012. To be honest, 2012 is by far my most favorite year. I feel like so many good things happened and the bad are quite equivalent to the sweet memories. 

  My life is amazing in 2012. I learnt a lot of new things. From books and also experience. I established my school cred too. Which is good in my own opinion. I definitely made a lot of new friends. I found new amazing friends on twitter and I met some of them this year!

  Without these people, my 2012 would be so dull. So, thank you Jai, Yasmin, Syasya, Farah, Myra, Fatimah, Bat, Lyna, Zahidah, Aina, Wani, Nadia, Shervin, Anisha and everyone on twitter who has made my year. I love you guys!

  I read a lot of books. And bought 'a few' (13 books) more from Big Bad Wolf... BBW was so mean to me... Hehe.. Also, I finally know who my favorite author is. The lucky author is.... Mitch Albom! Go check his books out! They're very interesting and inspiring.

 Oh yeah! Earlier this November, which was also the start of my school holiday, I went to the World Robot Olympiad at Sunway Pyramid on the 10th. I met Deirdra and Khairul which was awesome! Aiman decided to come on the next day. So, Deirdra and I didn't get to meet him. *sad* 

Khairul, Deirdra and I

  Also, I got to meet Uncle John again. He's my dad's awesome and hilarious friend that we met in Qatar. He came to Malaysia for a conference in KL and Sarawak with my dad. Then, he decided to visit my family and I in Melaka.

  Somewhere at the end of September, I went to SMK IJC in Johor and Nanyang Girls School in Singapore with my school under the debate team. Hopefully I can get into the debate team this year. The trip down south was great tho!

  I also was one of the salesgirls at my school co-op in 2012. It felt like old times because I had always been in the school co-op since I was in primary school. But this time it was only for 6 months. This year, I got offered to be a prefect and I took it. (Technically, I had to). But it was a great experience. My dad even said he can see that I'm more into entrepreneurship. I don't know. I just love dealing with business. Hmmm... 

  On twitter this year, I got noticed by both of my favorite bands, Big Time Rush and The Wanted. Tom from TW followed me recently and gave me a sudden heart attack. Haha... Love ya, Thomas! ;)  

When @bigtimerush retweeted me

Thanks Thomas! :)

  Just this year, I found 3 amazing artiste that made me go crazy all over them.. They are keepers. :) 

Big Time Rush

Lee Seung Gi 

The Wanted

  So, school holidays... What did I do? Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha! Lots of things! Allow me to give you a quick run down. 

What I basically did during the holidays: Travel to KL, watch Big Time Rush, sleep, read books, travel to JB, watch more Big Time Rush, sleep, travel to KL, watch Running Man, read more books, sleep, watch more Running Man, travel to KL again, watch Big Time Rush, sleep more, go to school for duty, watch more Big Time Rush, sleep again, watch more and more Running Man, go to school for duty again and sleep, sleep and sleep....  

  But I did went to Legoland and KidZania... That was awesome! 

At KidZania

Told ya I kept myself busy... Haha... For any of you who doesn't know what Running Man is, it's a popular game show from Korea that is super hilarious! Check it out! Running Man is actually where I found my Lee Seung Gi. Since then, I got totally obsessed with him. I just can't help it! He's cute, natural, smart and has a legit good voice! ;)

Here are some of my favorite Lee Seung Gi songs: 

Will You Marry Me?

Forest

Love Time

Invitation To Me

Return

  So, that was basically some of the highlights of my year. My 2012 was amazing! I hope yours was great too. Anyways, have a good year and always remember to live life to the fullest! Let's make 2013 an amazing year too! Well, wish me luck for my PMR and Happy new year, guys! :) 

That's all for this post, 

Wassalam.

Belated Birthday Story

Assalamualaikum,

"Music is better and lights are brighter when you were near"

Wish U Were Here - Cody Simpson

So, as you might know, I was born on July 27th, which is exactly a week ago. Yeah, I'm finally 14, bebeh... Ok... Probably, growing up is not that exciting. No, it's never exciting. I know this might be overdue. I tried to post this thing earlier but failed. As busy as a bee, they say. Especially since it's Ramadhan. Whatever it is, I'm still gonna tell you about my day anyway. And so it begun. 

So, my birthday fell on a Friday in the month of Ramadhan. Because of that, I felt so anticipated for this day. Not because of the presents, wishes and such, but because I felt so blessed to celebrate it on that very day. 

Speaking of wishes, I got my first wish from my best bud, Sharmine Amyrra. Got a text from her at 10 o'clock on my birthday eve. Yeah, sorta like DD's midnight birthday call... Totally a good start for my birthday.

*please ignore Bangi*

Then, my mum during sahur. Dad gave me a card and a Parker pen. Also, my mum literally bought me BTR. Well, she gave me the money when I said I wanted to go to Speedy. *I didn't even say I wanted to buy anything* So yeah, a card, a pen and an album... 

It's the UK deluxe edition. 6 bonus track and a poster. Yeah!

Then, Sharmine Shaqirin (My Aisha) sent me a bbm chat and tweet. I swear I cried like a baby when I read it. It's like a wish from a sister to a sister. A long-distance sister. 

School was a blast that day. Foong greeted me with a happy birthday as soon as I step into the class. Before Malay class started, everyone sang Happy Birthday for me. Then, when Puan Noraini came, they sang it again. Yeah. Two birthday songs. Sharmine and Foong wished me like 10 times that day. Shaza was really excited when she came back from her morning duty. 'Happy Birthday Aina!' she said. 

After school, my mum and I when to Mahkota Parade to do some clothes shopping for eid. So, when I was there, my twitter mention was stuffed with wishes. Nearly cried in the middle of Parkson because of their sweet wishes. Well, what makes it even sweeter is that I've never met them. These are the people who I knew through twitter. This show that they acknowledged me. These are true birthday wishes. Frankly, I was actually wondering, who would wish me a happy birthday, considering I deleted my facebook. Yes, I did not get as many wish as I did when I had facebook. But I feel like this year's wishes are much real than any other year. They came from friends who I talk to almost everyday but we've actually never even met. It might sounds cliche but this is the gift that I was hoping for this year. A memory that I will not forget. 

Also, Yasmin tweeted me a birthday song by The Click Five. It was so sweet. Lurf my Yasmoon so much... 

So, I got a bit bored and asked Jojo Wright for a birthday wish. I wasn't really expecting this but these people actually spammed Jojo to wish me a happy birthday. Again, I tried to hold back my tears. It was really really sweet of them to do that for me. 

And guess what?

Yes... The amazing Jojo tweeted me. So, that was basically what happened on my birthday. One of the best birthday in my life. Yeah, I didn't get any reply from the boys (BTR) but I'm still grateful for what I got. Alhamdullilah... 

As always... Goodies... :)

To My Dearest Sister...

Assalamualaikum, 

"I'll be your life, your voice, your reason to be..."

 Moments - One Direction

This is gonna be a special post. It's for a special someone who I've been missing dearly. It's her 15th birthday. I've been working on this for about a month. Yes, a month because of my homework and exam. Spoiler alert: This is like the worst poem you'll ever read. I haven't wrote a poem for quite some time... So yeah... Bear with me. 

You're pretty,

As pretty as a blooming rose,

You're smart, 

As smart as Einstein,

You're strong, 

As strong as steel,

You're joyful,

As joyful as a kid,

You're outstanding, 

As outstanding as fireworks,

You're bizarre, 

As bizarre as Niall Horan,

You're sweet, 

As sweet as sugar,

You're hot,

As hot as fire,

You're carefree, 

As carefree as a bird,

But on top of all, 

You're my Aisha...

One year has passed, 

Memories are still fresh,

Weird? I know,

Because I never let it go.

It was after homeroom when we met,

Heading to our classes making eye contact,

Smiles, smiles, we exchanged smiles,

Oh, how I miss your pretty smile.

Winter ends, early spring,

Umrah trip bonded us quick, 

Dani, Danial were our gang, 

Wait, remember that 'friendly' chick?

Breaks, breaks, were our time, 

Hall, hall was our place, 

Bassel, Bassel, was our jokes,

Man, I miss our days.

Big Time Rush, One Direction,

Two different world but we stay strong, 

'Ashraf', 'Hady', 'Cheese',

Those were our good times.

I miss your little notes, 

Message in my art book became my bedtime story,

Why, they ask, 

Because I failed to find someone like you.

Last day of school made a scar in my heart, 

Everything was good till the second break,

We may uttered goodbye,

But to me it was not and will never be a goodbye.

I wish you happiness, I wish you luck,

You shall forever be my kakak,

Have a blast on your birthday, 

1D WILL meet you someday.

To Sharmine Shaqirin, I do have another best friend named Sharmine in my new school but I want you to know, you're one of a kind. I can never replace you. I hope to see you soon. May Allah bless you. Even though it is the first day of Ramadhan, something tells me that you'll have a brilliam birthday. Salam Ramadhan Mubarak and Happy Birthday kakak... 
P/S: Believe me, it's too bad that Harry hasn't met you yet. He's missing a heck lot of fun. Love ya... ;)

Snow White And The Huntsman...

Assalamualaikum,

Wazzaaa guys!!! So, yesterday my family and I went to watch Snow White & The Huntsman. (This the 3rd time I watch a movie in less than a week, exclude the one on TV and my computer) Back to the movie... The movie was sick!!! Legit awesome!!!

When I first saw the trailer, I immediately fell in love with the movie. But since Kristen Stewart is in it, I thought it might be some kind of Twilight-ish thingy and obviously my dad will not watch it. Well, my guess was way off. My dad really looked forward for this movie. He said it's kinda interesting and the synopsis was amazing.

We watched it after my brother's Karate lesson, so it was quite late. Didn't watch it in 3D though. Because they're showing Men In Black 3 in 3D which is another great movie. Some Rusher and TW Fanmily moments in the movie. Back to Snow White... Yeah, I wouldn't mind watching it again if they're releasing a 3D version. I mean I watched MIB 3 twice. 3D and non-3D.

The actors were really good! Charlize Theron, Kristen Stewart and Chris Hemsworth were a brilliant combination. And yes, Chris Hemsworth was really hot! Although he had to lose some weight because his character can't have an extremely tough body... =P

Kristen Stewart really stood out in the movie. Her features are the accurate description of Snow White. Skin as white as snow. Lips as red as blood. Hair as black as a raven. She was a complete opposite of Bella. Charlize was really good at playing with emotions. Really affect the audiences.

Anyways... I would rate the movie 4.5 out of 5 stars.... Go watch it... No, I mean it! Go!!! =D

Okay, I'm leaving you guys with the trailers... Enjoy! 

Wassalam... =)

Villaggio's Blaze...

Assalamualaikum,
Hey, How's everybody doing? Sorry, I haven't been updating that much. Busy month.

So, yesterday, around 11pm, Malaysia's time, I received quite a few broadcasts on bbm about this Villaggio Fire from my friends in Qatar. I thought it was some kind of scam or something.

*Villaggio is one of the biggest mall in Qatar. I'd say, mostly everyone loves it. Well, I did. The interior is superb and there's also variety of shops and entertainment. It's absolutely tons of fun.*

Then, this morning, I went on twitter to search about this Villaggio Fire and it turns out that it was as real as it could be. I was very shocked when I read the report. It's said that the fire started at the Nike and Go Sport shop and also the children nursery, Gympanzee...

19 deaths... And the most heartbreaking part, it's reported that 13 of the victims were innocent children. It was definitely a very sad news. My condolences to the victims's families...

Read the full report here, Villaggio Fire

Ok... Till then,
Wassalam...
