Be All Eyes

It's raining outside. And lightning keeps striking and whopping. I know it's not good to use the computer during this situation but it doesnt look that bad outside. Heh.. And it makes me thought of the syllabus that I learned in the Physics class when Cikgu Rahimy called out my name "Rushdina, kalau tak tgk buku Fokus tu boleh faham tak camne kilat boleh berlaku?". "Errr... *stutters*". Heheh..Ok, stop there. Dont have to make headway with it =P

And suddenly, I came across the different strokes of lightning in the internet. And I thought of sharing this eventhough it's not that informative. But it does make my brain works. Partially though.

Ball lightning occurs after a ground flash. The ball is usually red, orange, or yellow. It can be as small as a grapefruit or as big as a pumpkin. After briefly hovering above the ground or darting wildly about, the lightning ball fizzles out—or ends with a startling BANG!

Cloud lightning never strikes the earth.

Spider Flashes of spider lightning crawl across the sky for up to 90 miles.

Actually it comes with pictures but I still couldnt put them here. Should learn more about blogging.

Anyway, two days ago I went to a wedding occasion in TTDI with Mum and Dad for the nikah and then Angah Aya, Abg Azam, Lupi and Anid came afterwards for the reception. It was ok, not very crowd and the compound was just nice. The food was superb. The roast lamb was fantastic. And the view was pretty picturesque too.

You know TTDI, big and beautiful houses and wondrous CARS like BMW. I have to say that I saw a z4 for the first time of my life with my own two eyes, LIVE. Hehe.. I was captivated by the car. I was speechless and promptly gave a message to anid. It was really mind-blowing. Ish, jakun betul. Heh..

I started to wonder, how much does it cost if you possess a huge and gargantuan house and a z4. Owh, it doesnt stop there. There's still another new 5 series. And heck, an x3 as well!! And a new honda stream. Geez, that dandy must be a millionaire and stinking rich too. Hmm..rezeki masing2 laa.. But all in all, it was a sight for sore eyes.

Revenge is Sweet?

Izy just dropped by to say that she's not going to Langkawi for the results. How sad I am to hear that. I've been waiting like ages to see her and have fun in Langkawi but in vain. Damn intec!! Why should they stucked the students in and not releasing them for the results announcement? How cruel it can be. After all, the students really need a break. At least for a couple of days before the results been released. To boot, student like Izy still can cope with the syllabus if she missed the classes. Heck, she's a fulltime four flatter student. Cant she get a day off at least? Pathetic...

Regardless about Izy, I added in a friend in friendster the other day. And that SO-CALLED FRIEND didnt approve my request. Pity me *weeps* Hahahaha.. "Dont blame me if I end up hating you." I dont have to blame anybody and yea, go ahead. You have every right to complain. The person does not mince words, calling me a liar or backstabber. As if I care. Well, if you're reading this, buddy, I'd say good job. At least you're trying to keep your words. Just keep a civil tongue in your head ok!

I dont know what is wrong with that person. I dont even care. I admit, I've done something sinful to him but I am at all sorry for what I have done and I am full of apologies though and he seems like ignoring me and gives a i-dont-care-about-you-anymore-and-i-have-a-great-life-without-you- and-piss-off act. Perhaps he doesnt recognise me anymore? Ye la tu..Hahah..Or is he trying to exact a revenge on me? If so, have he ever heard of an adage goes 'revenge is sweet'? Or maybe, does he think by doing that makes me feel like a freak? Whatever, I dont give a damn. If he thinks so, then he is totally wrong.

Ok, I dont want to babble about a 'stranger'. Let he leads his own life and yea, he has nothing to do with me anymore. I guess so. And by the way stranger, if you're reading this, do leave a 'foot print' ok? Just want to make sure that you get the message. And yea, extand my regard to your friend too. And if you are offended, I am so sorry. Never meant to be so. Life sometimes can be very unpredictable.

Anyhow stranger, here's your favourite band, Dashboard Confessional eh? Thanx for introducing the band to me. Kind of you *winks* Enjoy yourself ok!

An Unexpected Package

Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim; In The Name of Allah, The Most Gracious, The Most Merciful
By: Shaikh Muslim Bhanji

A young man was getting ready to graduate college. For many months he had admired a beautiful sports car in a dealer's showroom, and knowing his father could well afford it, he told him that was all he wanted. As Graduation Day approached, the young man awaited signs that his father had purchased the car. Finally, on the morning of his graduation his father called him into his private study.

His father told him how proud he was to have such a fine son, and told him how much he loved him. He handed his son a beautiful wrapped gift box. Curious, but somewhat disappointed the young man opened the box and found a lovely, leather-bound Holy Qur'an. Angrily, he raised his voice at his father and said, "With all your money you give me a Holy Qur'an?" and stormed out of the house, leaving the holy book.

He never contacted his father again for long long time. Many years passed and the young man was very successful in business. He had a beautiful home and wonderful family, but realized his father was very old, and thought perhaps he should go to him. He had not seen him since that graduation day.

Before he could make arrangements, he received a telegram telling him his father had passed away, and willed all of his possessions to his son. He needed to come home immediately and take care things. When he arrived at his father's house, sudden sadness and regret filled his heart. He began to search his father's important papers and saw the still new Holy Qur'an, just as he had left it years ago. With tears, he opened the Holy Qur'an and began to turn the pages. As he Read those words, a car key dropped from an envelope taped behind the Holy Qur'an. It had a tag with the dealer's name, the same dealer who had t! he sports car he had desired. On the tag was the date of his graduation, and the words PAID IN FULL.

The Holy Prophet [s] said: There comes no night but that the angel of death calls to the dead in the graves and inquires what they regret for today when they have vividly seen (and known) this (the next life). Then the dead will say: "Verily, we regret and envy the believers who are in their mosques and they are praying while we are not; they give alms and we do not; they fast during Ramadan but we do not; they donate in charity what they have more than the need of their family members while we do not; ..."

Irshad-ul-Qulub, p.53

A gentle reminder - How many times do we miss GOD blessings because they are not packaged as we expected?

There Is A Need

It has been a very long time since I stepped out my examination Hall and I've been falling into a deep trance ever since. Otak pun dah berkarat. Anid asked me something about science the other day.

Anid: Dina, what are the functions of the heart?
Me: Heart is hati kan?Wait..or is it jantung?
Anid: No, it's paru-paru! *gives me an odd stare*
Me: Ok, dont fool me plz.I'm confused!
Anid: Err..ok, I should ask Dad then.

Hahahah..And now, waiting for the result is totally loathsome and I hate that feeling. It keeps preying on my mind and Mum always said "Doa je la. As long as you've tried your best, tawakkal je laa." And rumours about the announcement are going around and that makes me fear the worst.

Everytime I think about this, I always wonder, what am I actually going for in life. I have my own goals and I have something to pursue but then, does school prepare people like me for the real world? I mean, I want to be a doctor therefore I took biology instead of RC or LK or PA but WHY and WHY and WHY do I need something that has nothing to do with medicine like Physics and EST and Chemistry and History and the list goes on. Why dont I just focuse on Biology and dont have to whirl my mind with something that I dont like? Ok, I do like Physics and Chemistry because the teachers are great but cant I just have them for fun? And why do I have to take all the ten subjects for my spm? Ok, I really dont get it.

I've been in Langkawi for two years and I ought to say that I was having a reaaaaaaaaally superb and splendid time there. The teachers are fantastic, the students are bombastic and gempak gile and I struggled to be amongst them. I had to 'pulun' everytime there was a kuiz or selaras or semester exams and so on. And I did pulun not to only get good grades but also to maintain my CGPA and mind you, it was not a simple thing to do. Just like I said, why do I have to spend more time on Add Maths and other subjects rather than Biology? Because I need to make sure that I get straight A's for my exam so that MARA would happily give me a scholarship? And why is that?

Does a doctor need to do what Physicists do? Does a Lawyer need to operate people? Does a cook need to build a dwelling? Get what I mean?

These things dont bother me when I was a kid but since I read the Rich Dad Poor Dad books, I keep pondering over my future life and try to comprehend what is actually happening around me. What Robert said in his books is absolutely true;

'One day, my children came home disillusioned with school. He was bored and tired of studying. "Why should I put time into studying subjects I will never use in real life?" and I responded "Because if you dont get good grades then you wont get into college". "Regardless of whether I go to college. I'm going to be rich". "If you dont graduate from college, you dont get a good job and how do you plan to get rich?"

"Mom," he began. It was my turn to be lectured. "Get with the times! Look around; the richest people didnt get rich because of their educations. Look at Michael Jordan and Madonna. Even Bill Gates, who dropped out of Harvard, founded Microsoft; he is now the richest man in America and he is still in his 30s. . . . . . .I need new answers." He was right'

That was brief but the message is clear. Once I read the book, I thought of stop studying and I wanted to build up a business and be rich as soon as possible. But it is RIDICULOUS and doesnt make any sense! And I almost forgot that all I've been going for since I was a kid is to be a doctor. And I kept asking to myself "Bill Gates flunked but he still can be the richest man in America. Why cant I excell in studies and use my knowledge to be one of the richest people?"

I dont know. It has been there inside my mind since years ago. And all I can do is just try my best in any way possible. There's an adage taken from the book "If you think it's risky, then it will be". So, the best thing I could ever do is trust in myself and believe that I will be somebody in the future. And I prayed to God and always hope that I will get the best for myself.

'Be the trend setter. Not the trend follower' -Aimran

'I have faith in you. I know you will always be the best. Aku tak kisah pun Taiping kalah dengan Langkawi. Hahaha..' -Afar

'Just trust and believe in yourself whatever it would take. If you dont believe in yourself, why should anyone else?' -Me

People Come, People Go

Ask yourself, what would you do if you wake up in the morning and ferret out that your loved one has gone? How do you feel if..

• You were idly waiting outside the OT, praying and hoping that your loved one will gonna make it. But unfortunately, when the Doctor stepped out of the OT, he heaved a sigh of disappointment while shaking his head and said "Sorry, we've tried our best. He couldnt make it."?
• You were preparing for a birthday celebration for your loved one and suddenly you received a shocking phone call "I'm sorry to tell you this, but your loved one has involved in a car accident and he has a very slim chance to live."?
• You had a falling-out with your fiance on the phone while he was driving and suddenly a terrible thing happened and all you can hear from the distance was just a scream and a bang?
• The one that you loved and cared about, who taught you a lot about life, whom you always turned to whenever you feel down, who would lift you up when you feel you were a total failure, who had taught you how to shoot some pool, who had taught you how to arrange strategies in battle and the one that you once placed in your heart had gone away forever from your life?
  

Everything happens with reasons. And we have to accept no matter what. That's how the life goes. We dont always get what we want. But all the charming and perfectly divine moments will be forever called to mind.

Thanx for everything, bro. May God guides you on the right path and bless you through all the years..

Strange Crackers

I'm listening to Bedshaped by Keane now. And thanx to the song for putting me in a gay mode. And I'm really really in a good mood. Oh no, somebody must have put me in drugs because I'm really intoxicated!! Owh yeah! I can feel the rising of happiness inside! *dances and frolics with joy* Yet, I'm missing someone. Wish he could be juz beside me now and the whole dull day of his would definitely turn into a good one =)

Well, something technically wrong happened in blogger "We apologize for the inconvenience, but we are unable to process your request at this time. Our engineers have been notified of this problem and will work to resolve it." Yea, thanx a lot Mr.Blogger! I feel like using Xanga right this second. This aggro really bored stiff! But thanx to David Bowman for inventing this blacky template (It does alleviate my not-very-good mood though). I have to say that I'm a total failure at hosting so better grab this one than none *grins*

Drove off to Banting on Friday evening with Dad to fetch Lupi and some of his friends."Dina, nanti drive to Banting ambik abg Pi.Ade kawan dia nak tumpang sekali" mum asked me before I pulled off to Fasa 4. "Owh, no problem!!!Who are the friends? Please say it's Sxxxxx or Axxxxx!!" (Urggh, cut it off, Dina!) Duh! I didnt say that out loud, or Mum will definitely kill me! Just a whisper wafted through at the back of my head *winks*

When my family were back there in UK (I was in Langkawi), I ought to spend most of my holidays with Lupi and his friends. Mind you, that was not a good thing because most of them have no sense of humor at all!! Just imagine how offensive they were when I said something 'humiliating' (I cant really recall BUT IT WAS NOT FUNNY!) and they were pissing themselves laughing!! And with that hoity-toity faces, I felt really left out. But somehow, 'A' really strucked my mind. He once asked me "Dina, kau suke lelaki yg kelakar ke yang jiwang?"..."I like sumone exactly like you!!" And I'll kill myself if I really poured them out (Or did I??) Hahahah..

One day, on a very wonderful morning, while having a breakfast at my house;
A: Nice 'nasi goreng' we have here. Sedap laa auntie buat (Me: Oh my God!!! He better take the words back! Somebody please get me out of here!!)
Mum: Eh, tak laa. Tu Dina yang buat (Me: Ok, I'm gonna get a gun and shoot myself down!)
A: Owh, ye ke *with a blushing face* (I tried so hard to shun myself from hearing what he's going to say next by scrumbles up the stairs. And I couldnt help myself but laughing out loud. Hahahaha!!!! That was not a happy thing but embarrassing instead. Kesian.. Heheh)

Other people might think that was a real sheepish moment one could ever have been in but you know what, the guy is really 'sporting' and 'selamba' so I dont think he considered that as embarrassing. Perhaps he felt a tinge of shameful but hey, that wasnt so bad though. Owh, I should have thanked him for praising my good cook *prouds*

And talking about Mr.S, I couldnt find any interesting scene to share. But I have to say that he really fascinated me with his cute smile *beams*. Ok, you got the permision to say "Eee, gediknye budak ni". Go ahead, and you will find you're hiting back yourself! Wham! Hahahah.. It's just how the life goes. People always get attracted with beautiful things so I couldnt get the blame could I? Hehe.. And the way he layan kerenah of that little boy Nazme, I have to say that he's gonna be a good father one day =) Owh, and he got a younger brother in Langkawi (again, I feel like walloping myself for wasting my chance to get to know that so-not-famous kiddo who is a brother of a cute guy! Heheh..Ok, cut it off!)

But nooooooooooooo..Neither Mr.A nor Mr.S came for a lift. Pitty me. Damn! Then what's the point of showing off my driving skill to somebody I dont even care to look at??! Hahahah.. Ok, that was tacky. Sorry ye En. Farhan *grins with sparkling eyes*

Ok, regarding all of the above, I certainly ain't trying to flaunt or whatever - nothing could have been further from my thoughts. 'A' already has a girlfriend and 'S' is not doing medicine <--is that acceptable?? *smirks* I wont take it seriously, it's just for fun. So, stop heaping criticism on people, ok!

.........I feel like sleeping now (and the image of 'the person' keeps lingering around my head. I am really not pleased to dream of him because I hate to end my beautiful dreams in the morning.) Whatever.. After all, I'm at the end of my tether. zZzzZz..

The First Rivalry On The Road

This morning, I sent anid to school. And since Along Ima had her shift through out the night, Abg Norman asked somebody to pick Nazme up at Seksyen 8 (perhaps he was running late and had no time to drop by) so, I drove off.

On my way back home, I drove as I supposed to drive. "Do not speed" that was what Dad always said before I pull off. In an attempt at speeding, I tried not to go over the speed limit. "Dont go over 80. 90 is the max"..Yes, Dad.

And suddenly, out of nowhere, a Kancil tried to overtake my car so I kept my car on the left lane. And after that, it started to slow down and the car drifted to left without any signal, and positioned just in front of my car. I thought it would speed up but it didnt!! It kept on the speed of 40 or 50km/h whereas I was speeding up to 80. I was like "Wut the hell?? Tadi nak overtake sangat, pastu tibe2 je slow down."

That blardy Kancil really pissed me off. So I started to speed up to 100km/h and overtook the car. And as I tried to outdistance, the car began to accelerate, as if it wouldnt let me to overtake it. What was up with that?? What was HER problem?

But finally, I won!! Hahahah.. Gulp! The speed was up to 120km/h!! Needless to say that I wasnt on a highway so I should have been summoned but it was early in the morning, no police around. Heh..Yea yea, I might seem over-excited and hyped up and poyo and menggelabah with that silly little race but hey, that was my first rivalry on the road, man! If Dad knew this, he definitely wont let me drive on my own. So, better keep it secret. Shhh.. :-x Hahah..

Can CLK ever beat a BMW? Haha..It's not impossible for Mercedes CLK but if it's 'Cute Little Kancil', hmm, you better think twice or perhaps thrice. Heh.. No offence!

Aimran: Tau tak ade orang belaja driving naik CLK tau!
Me: Tipuuuuuuuu! Mane ade org lesen L bawak CLK.
Aimran: Bukan Mercedes CLK la! It's 'Cute Little Kancil'.

Hahaha.. Thanx for the idea, mate! Ok, I need to prepare Nazme's breakfast.

Alteration

Ok, I think some alterations to this forlorn blog might be necessary. At least, in a way, it could change my mood a bit. Black is cool isnt it? I think so. I thought of using this template in the first place but dunno why the blue one attracted me more than the black one. But yes, the black one finally got my pick. To boot, this particular template reminds me of somebody but lets not get to the introduction of the person.

Anyway, I've got a splitting headache since 3 or 4 days ago. I dont know what is wrong but I keep feeling like banging my head on the wall!! I've told Along Ima bout this and all she said was "Ko x cukup tido kot" whereas I've been sleeping like a whole day!!

Ok, so maybe it's because of an excessive sleep. But I didnt sleep that much tho. Most of the day, averagely I sleep at 1 am and wake up at 645 for Subuh prayer and stay awake until 2 or 3 pm and after that I take a couples of hour or so for a nap. Is that much? I think it's a fixed routine. Or perhaps there's a growth or something in my brain? Or am I suffering from migraine without my knowledge? Hahaha.. banyak lak songeh. I have no idea. Only God knows.

Anyway, I was quite surprised when I received a friend request in Friendster from Sephia, Aimran's former classmate. She's pretty and charming I have to say but her attempt of adding me in was actually quite stupefied me. But not that serious tho. She's cool and sounds serene so, befriended her would be a pleasure.

And talking about Aimran, he has just gone back to France last saturday and most probably will be back to Malaysia in July for his brother's wedding. He keeps telling me about his birthday present that he'll claim this march but heck, it's the latest 3series BMW!!! I repeat, the latest 3series BMW! That is soo not fair. I mean, he's just one year older than me and he's possessing a nearly-1million car!! Rezeki dia, biar laa... Lucky Intan.. Eheh..

Arggh..my headache is sickening!! I better need go to sleep. I'll write more soon. Adios!~

Just A Thought

"So-and-so tu tinggi lebih kurang Dad. Muka dia cam Chelsea dalam cite Raven. Dia tau main gitar. Dia dapat pegi Queen Mary. Dia itu..dia ini.." -Lupi (There are always compliments for people that we admire or have a crush on. Is it fair?)

"Saya sudah semakin besar dan macho. Gigi saya macam Spongebob. Saya juga semakin mengada2. Dah nak pandai jalan dah!! Tak lame lagi boleh melarikan diri dari Mak Na (T_T) Nanti dah tak payah nak kepung kat depan tv. Hahahaha..Saya berbangga dengan diri saya." -Nazme (Hahahaha..ok, I made it up =b)

Valentine

So, regarding about that, what do you suppose I would write in here? A poem to my lover? Or a nugget of beautiful moment when I first met my dazzling partner? Or what?

What would you think if a person havnt ever celebrated a valentine? Well, what would a valentine suppose to be actually?

- "Gradually, February 14 became the date for exchanging love messages and St. Valentine became the patron saint of lovers. The date was marked by sending poems and simple gifts such as flowers.There was often a social gathering or ..bla..bla.." -

Owh, is that all? No, seriously I dont really have any idea about this so can anybody enlighten me? Because I am a bit confused when some people are actually celebrating this so-called Valentine's Day not only on this particular day but almost everyday!! Send their loved ones with sweet poems (or perhaps 'goodnight wish' would be exact?) and those 'jiwang' messages through out the day. Owh, and that is not enough. They probably put the same picture that they share in Friendster (which I found really TACKY!!!!!) And I hate that, seriously. But again, yea, who cares?? None of my business for God's sake! Hahah..

Anybody get offended?? Well, you should. How did they do that actually?? Dont they get bored and blaséd about all those rinky-dink thingy?

If I say I dont celebrate the day, people might say I dont have anybody to celebrate with (which I certainly wont give a damn) but if I say I do celebrate it, people might also say 'buat ape laa nak sambut valentine. bukan ke salah di sisi Islam?' So, what the right answer should be then?

Whatever it is, just wanna say have a nice Valentine's Day to those who celebrate it. May you will always held by happiness and joviality. Cheers!~
