...Something About Something...

There is a moment
Where you wanted to turn the time
Backwards to when it's most pleased you
Is it called greedy
No...it isn't
it is called DESIRE

There is a place
Where you wanted to go to the most
Just for the sake of reminiscing your past
Even if it means
You have to leave everything
That you now posses
Is it called useless?
No...
It's HOPE

There is sumething
That you wanted to do the most
Even you can't really do it
What do they called it?
I don't know...
But...I called it DREAM

...How much???...

How much more should I bare

How much pain should I suffer

How much more should I give

How much more will I be tested

How much emptiness should I go through

How much happiness is spare for me

How much time is still left for me

How much? How much?

Not much…and don’t ask please

Keep your faith in God

The answer will come then

Even when you’re not asking for it…

From My Each Breath

I don’t know how much longer
Could I live in this uncertainty?
Of making the same mistakes
From my each breath

Life is not a game
Could I start it over and over again?
But I got so much to lose
From my each breath

My condition deteriorates
My heart of stone never let me
Searching for freedom
From my each breath

Oh, I wander in the suffocation
When will this madness end?
As I’m losing my breath
From my each breath

The world is too beautiful
Will I have enough time?
No one can tell me
From my each breath

The breath is not mine
Nor yours neither theirs
But I’m longing to have
From my each breath

Do I have a choice?
Can you tell me the choices?
I did make a choice
From my each breath

Time is not on my side
And I can never race with him
My paces are slower than ever
From my each breath

...I Still Remember...

I still remember
Love was my twin
Love was me
Until the beginning of September

I still remember
Love left my heart
Leaving my vein empty
Draining my tears clear

I still remember
I was a fool then
Did nothing to stop love
Leaving my shelter

I still remember
I never looked back
Ahead I went hunting
Searching for love that was never near

I still remember
I changed my name
From a lover to a hater
I was love’s greatest fear

I still remember
Pain I had
Was smaller and
Painful it was to be a hater

I still remember
Love was my enemy
Vanquishing love was a priority
Those were all I remember…

...It's Over...

It's over...so over
we broke up forever
i'm all alone in the forest
and where are you?
it's like i finally figure it out
it's like i'm sleeping and i woke up
it would be too easy if it just like smoking
because the smoke is just nothing
things that started out as just a normal part of our life
begins to cross the line
too obsessive, too compulsive, out of control
my love, i wish you could stay
it's just a dream when everything fade away

...My Dance Floor...

It’s like a place of sanctuary,
Every weekend it’ll be a heaven for me,
Let me running and dancing free and wild,
Pouring my sweat and smile,

Dribbling and juggling is my game,
Just to entertain but not for fame,
I’ll dance like a crazy hippy,
And scoring goals like Lionel Messi,

There, I’ll kick and run,
The only place that I’ll have fun,
It’s not just a dance floor,
But a place I’ll dribble and score.

...Son Goku...

Whoever watched Dragonball on TV, or read the comics sold at bookstands, Son Goku must be the most remembered character. He stands out as the bravest, strongest, and most intelligent fighter among all other characters. He is the hero in the manga series, and my favourite fictional character ever.
I’ve started watching Dragonball since I was in early primary. Actually, my eldest brother made me watch it. Since I was his only brother at that time, I am kind of forced to. He adores Son Goku, and when I watched the story, I also got addicted to Dragonball. I could not quite figure out why I liked watching Dragonball, but I think because those kinds of stories really attract young boys like me (at that time). Adventurous me I guess. I like stories that contain full throttle actions, fighting, characters that have solid bodies, and look macho.
Son Goku is a protagonist character created by Akira Toriyama and is pictured as an odd, monkey-tailed boy who practices martial arts and possesses superhuman strength. Goku's most common outfit is an orange uniform with a blue short-sleeved undershirt, a blue belt, blue wristbands, and striped boots. That is the very first thing I remembered when talking about him. This image always plays in my mind and I remember him as being a very powerful, yet kind hearted hero towards his friends and enemies.
In addition, Son Goku is my favourite fictional character because he’s from the Saiyan’s family race, an extinct race of alien warriors who is considered the strongest warriors in the fictional universe of the manga series. Son Goku is a very aggressive warrior, and he always wins martial arts tournament in the series. Goku comes from a fictional planet known as Vegeta, but he loves being on earth more. Due to his devotion to Earth, Goku prefers dressing in a gi uniform, and has refused offers to adorn the Saiyan battle armor, being that he considers himself an Earthling. Goku will do whatever he can in battles or martial arts tournament for the longevity of his family’s race, the Saiyans. I wish that I am as great as he is, being able to do everything using my own natural ability. Sometimes, I even picture myself being Son Goku. How powerful I was.
I like Son Goku because of his natural abilities and strength. He possesses super speed, reflexes, and the power to fly using what is known as chi, a semi-fictional energy force in the series. Goku's most signature technique is a vast chi energy blast called the Kamehameha, which he learned from Master Roshi Goku also learns a teleportation skill called Shunkan Idô (renamed Instant Transmission in the English dub), which he learned from the inhabitants of a fictional planet called Yardrat. With the teleportation skill, Goku is able to go from one place to another as quickly as possible.
Watching the Dragonball series have actually made me a more imaginative person. Sometimes, when I have free time, I will try to sketch the image of Son Goku. Luckily now that I have grown up, I can control my addiction towards watching this series. If not, I would have bought the trading card game, video games, and other collectibles of Dragonball. Now, I only have my collection of Dragonball comics at home which I reread many times for pleasure.

A PEARL OF RAMADHAN

I board this flight,
Leaving the airport of desire and insanity,
Leaving everything the world can offer me,
Searching for tranquility and serenity,
To redeem all my sins and impurity,
It took me along a month journey,
Cleaning the hearts, off stingy and greedy,
Taught me the benefits of Sharing my money,
Advocates me on the promises i have to keep,
How to use the day and night for worship,
To ALLAH artlessly without hoping any tips,
RAMADHAN, please put mt soul at ease,
Avoid my body and mind from any disease,
I pray for the peace of this broken world,
Praying that one day it will shine again like a pearl.

..Early Reading Exposure..

Reading is so much a part of daily life for those of us who live in literate communities. In my early days, my parents always encourage me to read books. I still remember the books that I always read. It was kids encyclopedia. What interesting about the book is it have a lot of pictures which attract me and most children. Reading does not always have to be from books. In my everyday life, I read newspapers, advertisements and even pictures. In my childhood experience, most of my reading is for pleasure (creativity and imagination).

However, I want to admit that I am not a good reader. That is why I read for pleasure is done for it's own sake. I would rather chew off my own leg than confess to enjoying reading. In school, we are required for examinations. Educational pratices tend to neglect the pleasure principal. nevertheless, my favourite reading materials during primary school is 'dictionary'. I enjoyed reading it.

Most of my reading exposure is because of my parents. They often read to me. They do not skip my regular reading time. They always read and reread stories requested by me. The most important part is they always encourage me to make predictions and I will tell what I think will happen next. As a child I always enjoy the illustrations. And the funny part is when they are being patient while I am reading aloud. Besides that, I will think of a new ending to the story. I used to read children's magazines. Apart from that, my parents always bring me and my brothers to check out the public library. At my home, we have our own library where my father create a special place for us to read books in our home. Furthermore, my mother will keep a few "old favorite" books in the car to enjoy.

In short, the way we perceive reading behaviouris linked to different reader purpose, for example what kind of reading behaviour is expected in classrooms or families. our day-to-day reading is highly selective. And even when we commit ourselves to a full reading, that reading will still be selctive, some parts being read with greater care than others.

High Fidelity

1. What is the movie about?
High Fidelity is about the 'mid-life' crisis of Rob (John Cusack), a record-store owner. Rob (Cusack) is a guy who's got it pretty good. He owns a record store and practices the fine art of musical snobbery with his two employees, Barry (Black) and Dick (Louiso). He also got a girlfriend, Laura (Hjejle), and everything seems to be going well, until she leaves him. In the wake of Laura's departure, he proceeds to relate his Top Five all-time breakups, and wants to confront those portions of his past to see if he and Laura have a future.

2. How is the story different from other common fiction?
The story is different from other common fiction because it is not a common stereotype love story in a movie. It reveals to us that not all relationship goes on well. High fidelity is a romantic comedy which provides a whimsical glimpse into the male view of the affairs of the heart. Rob's journey of self-discovery brings us an entertaining insight of failed relationships.

3. Who's your favorite character? Why?
My favourite character would be Rob. This is Cusack's best role to date, and he makes the most of it, particularly in his riffs on romantic humiliation. Meanwhile his sidekicks Black and Louiso argue pop music with a lunatic passion that will have any fan roaring.Rob spends a lot of time obsessing about his relationships and wondering why he is so unsuccessful in this area. It's kind of sweet the way he describes his own apparent inability.

I Have Problems....

Assalamualaikum....

Hello my fellas, today I would like to share with all of you the problems I often face in writing a composition. I never told this to anyone, so this is an exclusive revelation ok.. Mr. Jaferi has come out with a great idea to ask me to write on that topic. It gives me an opportunity to really address the difficulties that occur to me when writing something. I admit that I am not a good writer ( I really mean it). Seriously, I am very worried when it comes to creating a writing piece. Anyway, for those who have comments and suggestions to help me, please do come forward ok.

Firstly, I do not have the flow of idea. In other words, I often experience mind block. This is really important because I realize that it always interferes my 'masterpiece'. Due to this problem, I have to catch up with time in order to finish my writing especially during examination. It makes me feel very unconfident, and I keep rushing my thoughts in order to complete a written work. When this happens, my points become disorganized. Furthermore, I do not have the ability to produce a quality writing. This is an obstacle because it is hard for me to impress my lecturers, and hard for me to discuss an idea well and elaborate. Honestly, this kind of problems really affect my grades.

Secondly, my worst nightmare is poem/literature. I never like this elements of writing. I honestly am amazed with the beautiful words and language in the poems I read but I can't hardly understand it especially the classic one. I am not a creative person so poems/literatures are not my competency. I know that reading can improve my writings but I still think that reading alone cannot help me either. I should create the feeling of like to poetry I guess. But, that seems very hard. For me, it's hard to understand the meaning each poem brings. I admit that some poems have straight forward language, which makes it evidently easy to understand. But, there are certain poems I learn that even after reading it many times, I just could not grasp the meaning that the poem intends to deliver. Should I be a more critical reader in order to understand them?

Lastly, I feel that my English proficiency is really poor. And i think that this fact is the largest contributing factor to all my problems when writing compositions. I would rather kill myself when it comes to submission of assignments. This is because my lack of confidence. But when Mr. Jaferi asked me to create a blog, I found it very interesting. He said that we should not worry about the grammar part, but focus on the idea instead. Truthfully, I really like the idea because it helps me to improvise my flow of idea in writings. Furthermore, it overcomes my problems in lack of confidence. I really enjoy writing blogs eventhough what I had wrote are all craps.

The New Semester....

Assalamualaikum...
Hello world! Welcome to the new semester! This month of July is just another beginning of a new semester in UiTM. We will have a lot of effort to put in order to get good result. It is the time for me to crack my brain. All prepared to brave the though, new semester? Just in case you haven't, there are some of the 'hottest' necessities in book store, so you will look even smarter than Einstein. So, let us barge in and get new stationaries and notepads to prepare us for the 'war'.

What completes a perfect new semester? The packed schedule/timetable to match my perfect new semester...hmm... It is tiring to have class on the evening! Pokwe seems to be enjoying himself though...hmm...However it is always important to study. It is always been known that the best preparation is PRACTICE! PRACTICE! PRACTICE! I want to focus on my study and try to overcome my weaknesses. It is important not to push our brain too much. In order to stay sharp and focused, I enjoy playing futsal with my friends. It helps me too reduce the stress from study and help to keep me fit and healthy.

Study is like a tennis match. Lose your cool and you may actually lose the game (like Federer). being on ther mental edge is the key element here. Mental strength is probably the most crucial weapon. Envision in our mind the success. we need to have the eagerness to do well in this new semester. In addition, we need to keep a healthy nutritien and diet. To start the day, breakfast is important, and i love fruits with my milk and toast- gotta keep that tummy trim! When it comes the time for my classes, I feel fresh and lucky because i finished my assignments early. During the free time, I am going to the library.

Hmmm...not bad! I think i will maintain my CGPA for this new semester. One thing that is great about this semester is that there is plenty courses without final examination because I hate them. However, I must do well for the assignments. i am so grateful because i have someone to look after me. and not to forget my cute little hamsters...I can't wait to see what's waiting for me this new semester. I'll try my best. So, GAMBATE!! and live life fully.
