Not a UFO

As some of you may know,I dont own a pro fancy camera so this is closest i could get capturing a good shot of the moon.Taken sometime last week when the moon is at it's brightest and full round circle under a cloudless sky...oh the beauty!

Classically timeless.Incase you ever wondered how this song got popular press play to find out.I never fully watched Reality Bites though.

Forgetful Much

*Small sibling gathering last week. It took me a while to realise I was wearing 2 different pairs of Crocs towards the end of the gathering. They felt so alike that I hardly notice the difference hehehe.

*Played futsal the night after that. Room key in my pocket. I didn’t realise i dropped it on my way to the tennis court. As I head back home, my bro found it in a flower pot. How weird is that? Especially when i didn’t walk pass any flower pots before futsal.

*Monday is laundry day for me usually. All this while whilst all my clothes were in the washing machine, apparently my earphones was in it too!

Theres one incident in Singapore last year where I packed all my foot wear and left none to put on to fly back home.Our lugagges had to be sent to the airport a few hours before we arrive in the airport.After packing everything in the wee hours of morning,I slept for a bit whitout any worries.Only when i woke up,it just hit me what i was suppose to leave behind.The luggages gone already.So i thought its either hotel slippers or barefoot.But oddly enough ,yet lucky for me,my sister left 2 footwears behind. I was serious about the hotel slippers though lol.

Could I Be Anymore Stubborn?

When you're down with a cold and a soar throat its best to lay off the chocs and dairy for a while.Only to make matters worse,I indulge in it whitout any regret.So of course the consequences is the uncomfortableness in my throat which kept me waking up almost every hour last night =s Right now I'm trying to discipline myself by drinking enough warm water throughout the day.But I was thinking of playing tennis,swim or run today.Not so smart yea?hehehe.....

Unexpected Cravings

Food that I use to depise but have now grown to love.Weird transition in a good way.Is this how being 20 is like???
*Peanut Butter.Hated this berabis!I like it now especially with waffles.I use to hate anything nutty in general.Not anymore!
*Tempeh.I've always liked tofu more and tempeh less.It's the other way round now.
*Corn Pops cereals.I use to give the whole box to best friend whenever my mum distributes it everyone at home.Only this time,I finished the whole box in a week!or less I think...

Those who knows me well might reckon that I might indulge in some local fruits someday.Save that thought.Forcing me to consume it will just make me resent it even more.Durian,ciku,cempedak,tarap.......well you get the picture,ain't gonna happen!=P

Breaking the Stereotypes with Queen Rania Through Youtube

I've always admire Queen Rania.Not just her beauty but mainly the things she does to help make the world a better place and create a better understanding from different cultures to another.
I was stereotyped in my younger days.Mainly I was labelled as a Bosnian kid.WTF?
Kids in ugama school,guys mainly,would verbally abuse us for being different.Different you ask?By means of how my siblings and I communicate to each other and how different some of us look and where we live.Given that most people in our school looked mainly Malay,what do you expect?So it's these kind of cause that I strongly support.

Click here to check out more.

And since this is a part John Mayer blog,i cannot miss out posting the video below also taken from Queen Rania's channel.See John Mayer never fails to make such an impact with his music=)

You can also check out more of Mia Rose.She's quiet the musician and looks like a John Mayer fan too;)
And on a lighter note to end my ordinary Monday(this could make up for missing out blogging for a week if i were to miss out huh?hehe)


Super Queen,you rock!=)

Little Inner Instinctive Happiness

Running in the rain(especially when it gets all stormy) can be a bit isane especially to the older people.But not for me & i love the feeling.I just did and it's not my first time.Have you?Have a lovely week ahead everyone.Salam!
"The main things which seem to me important on their own account, and not merely as means to other things, are knowledge, art, instinctive happiness, and relations of friendship or affection."
-Bertrand Russell (1872 - 1970)

A Different Tagged

I've been tagged,again.But this time by the cookie jar .Clearly i have nothing to do right now so i might as well waste my time on typing down some random facts about me.Thanks for making me kill time with this ka haha.

1.I always find the need to at least hold a guitar like a kid holding on to their teddy bear constantly even if i cant play the guitar really well.
2.My favourite thing to draw in my childhood days are Prince Eric and Prince Charming LOL .As much men draws women often,me opposite lah.
3.Allergic to pennicillin
4.Chocolate mints doesnt appeal to me.Preferrebly seperated.
5.I love spicy food
6.A real animal lover
7.A swimmer & a runner

A Great Learning Experience

So that went well.A few misses here and there,but all and all,alhamdulillah!But who would've thought it would turn to be such a big event?The media was there to cover the event.Click here and here to read more.
I'm going to miss my qur'an teacher.If it wasn't for her,reading the Qur'an would still leave me astray whitout her guidance.Writing and reading jawi was never easy for me as I use to fail terribly in ugama studies/ejaan or tulisan jawi (I sucked in malay as well,big time!).Only because I kept on reading till I khatam, that to my surprise,I was amazed when I thought my younger brother jawi a couple of years back thatI was able to read any (malay) jawi easily.I came up with my own technique to make the rest understand how to spell it.Did it work?Only Allah knows.But im positive it did hehe.Being the not so pious person I am,reading the Qur'an is rather joyful,a pure one indeed.

I'll always remember the wisdom and advice you fall upon me.And value what you have thought me.You have humbled me in a way that even on most days ill admit to have desserted the holy book.But in times of be it sorrow or happinness i will always resort to what makes me chant with true meaning.More than 20 years of having you around my family has been a blessing.Thank you from the bottom of my heart Cikgu.
Salam!
