Hello, New Year!

Hello, people!

...and may years ahead bring more happiness, joy and success. Amin.

For about two decades of living, I can say that life is not easy. There are times we rise and fall, but eventually it makes us strong enough to keep on running. I am grateful to live my life and to be me, because it is something anyone else cannot be, not even close. On top of everything, I am thankful to have my beloved family and a bunch of great friends.

One thing in my 2009 wishlist was granted. I wished to finish my foundation year and pass the final exam. Yes, thank God I've passed, tho the official result is not out yet. Pointer? Keep your fingers crossed, peeps. Wish me luck! Huu~ For 2010, I wish to:

....and landing VOGUE-ly! yeahh.

Life is like a box of chocolate. You never know what you're gonna get.

Seize the day :)

Doakan saya berjaya dengan warna2 yang berterbangan. Selamat melangkah ke degree year, Liyana!

Adolescene's innocence?

She was once a little girl, a very quite and obedient one. She was the kind of daddy's daughter who never objects, the perfect junior me. The one Abah said was the most similar to me in attitude and almost everything. That's Mia my sister.
.
.
.
Mia will be 13 next year. I never thought she would grow up so fast that she now will be heading to a journey to be an adolescent. And frankly, I don't really trust that she is ready for a teenager's life. But now, I really mean now, she did change a lot. She becomes a rebel and continuosly acting in defiance. Not to mention, she now moves out from our shared room, preferebly to stay alone tho she knows that I do not dare to sleep alone T.T
.
.
.
Is it hormone? Or is it nature? I didn't remember myself changing that much during my time. I just feel like I don't know her anymore. I try so hard not to fight with her but nowadays we seem to fight more and more often with each other. Is it because I don't understand her enough? Yes, I really really don't understand her. I hope this interval of time will end soon. Please cross your fingers :)
.
.
.
In the meantime, as a good sister, I'll try to look up for something about children pshycology. I'll try, OK? After all, I may as well be teaching children in the future :)
.
.
.
Cheers for Mia!

Footnote #1: I have quite a few posts in que. Others will come later ok?

Footnote #2:Somebody said blogging in English is a way of showing off. I don't agree. What say you?

.

Give you something to think about, huh? Till then :)

Sayang, you can dance!

One of the reasons why 2009 captures many beautiful moments in my life is because this year, I start something that I've been longing to since like forever. I dance! Though I dont have any experience in this thingy, let alone expertise, I really want to try it. For even once! So, together with my lovahs, I babystep to the world of dancer and to my surprise, I never wanna stop. Not even now.

.

.

I remember volunteered myself for dancing since late 2008, when the seniors demand for dancers from TESL students. But unfortunately, the performance was cancelled at the last minute and to admit, I was quite disappointed. Seems like my hours of practice are thrown into the stinky, black garbage bin. Plus, we were about to do a traditional dance for "Walinong Sari" and for the beginners like us, we put a very commited effort for it. For nothing :(

.

.

.

But our first performance was during the Suara Jati Night, when we were invited to perform. It was on 30th of July if I'm not mistaken. So with less than a week practice, we got on stage performing a country hiphop dance, Hoedown Throwdown from Hannah Montana movie. It wasn't anything serious anyway, but we were extremely happy. As if we got all the fame from that night. Hahaha. We were seriously beginners.

.

.

.

And we named our dance group Legasi Katana, which we ourselves weren't so sure of the real meaning. And this is also because they rejected the "The Red Songket" name I gave :(

.

the legacy.katana legacy :P

...plus afifi,lara,tq, hannah

My second time was during the Teacher's Day celebration, in which we collaborated with the Rajawali Sakti Group performing Kurik Kundi. This day was also when we promoted our Siswa Budaya Club which is looking for new faces. This time was even tougher than our first time. With two days practice, and the stress put by the senior dancers (who were extremely enchanting.lovelovelove them ) make us not at ease. But the performance went on smoothly at last. Thank God :)

The best time ever--TESL Night 2009. With the theme of Arabic Masquerade, we put on our mask and rocked the stage! We performed an Arabic-modern dance, with range of songs from Amr Diab to Lady Gaga. The duration was the longest since before and I have to say, I never commit to anything harder than this. For this performance, put aside everything. I missed one or two SS discussion for it.

.

.

Seriously, it worth it.

the moments captured :)

I had so much fun that night. It was totally the night I'd like to remember for a lifetime. We could taste the sweetness of the sweatS-y practices we had (Euww).

.

.

.

In a nutshell, I just love dancing. Hee :))

.

.

For the cynical lookS and jokeS about me clubbing whatsoever, just go to hell. I don't give a shit lah! I take it as a compliment, anyway :))))

bon anniversaire, bitch!

to my dearest RIDZ ;-

HAPPY 19th BIRTHDAY!

for being friend, for good times and for bitch-ing together, here's a present for you (this probably has arrive at your wall :P )

[you and me.once upon a peaceful evening]

Before you get terharu with this present, let me advise you not to. This is just because I'm terribly bored at home and I don't know what to do with your pileS of photo in my device. But, as a return, I demand for the same for my next birthday :PPPP

yours truly,

yayan chantekk :)

Pink Fingers :)

This morning I made a cake and it turned out to be deadly delicious. Not as good as my fav choc indulgance, but good enough to convince me that I could do something with my kitchen.

Back then when I cooked Maggi murtabak for my friends they also said it was good (but a bit oily.Hee :P) And during our camping, the Nasi Lemak-Backwoodsman-Style that my group cooked was like...four-thumbs-up!

So, I'm not that bad, right? :))

btw pink fingers is the term like green fingers, but to put it in a kitchen context I replace the "green' with my fav color. Hee :PP

I've been thinking to you know, like stop my non-stop eating habit. But being home, foodies are such a bliss. And there are absolutely nothing that support me to do so. You know, things like 3 boxes of ice cream in the ref (and having ice cream in bed when its raining outside), your mom's cooked nasi lemak, and last night, bbq!

It was fun, tho I hadn't make up with Ayang yet. I dont know why, but we always fight with each other. Sometimes I feel like I hate her, like I am gonna take the top I bought for her back. Weird right, but I think I hate her because I can see myself in her. Stubborn-to-death.Huu :(( Whatever it is, m not gonna talk to her until she apologise *sigh*

things I hate about you :(

• for never fails to make me laugh when the sky is grey

• for being the one I know I can always rely on

• for understanding everything I have to say even before I spit out a single word

• for being the one I wanna talk to everytime I shed my tears

• for staying by my side when life is not as good as I always thought

• for being the person I love more than my bffs

• for nearly makes me choose love over friendship

• for being the bestest friend

• for being the one who holds my hand when Im feeling terrible

• for playing dumb everytime I look in your eyes

• for being so gay

• for the childish look.childish talk.childish manner

• for the hug I'd never forget

• for taking care

• for being the person I wanna see everyday I wake up

• for being you, the one only I can see

• for backing away when you think its the best for me

• for being the one I never shame to sing, to dance with

• for never share your tears when its the thing I'd like to do most

• for keeping the distance

• for ignoring

• for tearing me apart

• for making me see you in a different light

• for being you

• for loving.when it seems impossible to

• for still being the one I run to

• for making me post this crap

I hate you. Just because.

when it doesn't go your way, look up the blue sky and say, "it's ok"

Haven't heard of John Denver?

Earlier today during our tutorial session, we talked about love. When Mdm Choong asked our opinion about love, we gave variety of answers. I answered that love is togetherness, as I think the most important thing in loving others is our willingness to stay by their side during the ups and down of their life. But it’s not this matter that kept me from feeling sleepy then.

....................

The four-letters word had actually struck my heart like hell. Few days ago, somebody told me that I’ve been living my life with too little love in my heart. I was shocked to death. I was about to say NO--when I looked at his face and I realized that he was right. Yeah it took someone with that VERY BIG influence on me to give a wakeup call of what I’ve been all this time. Whatever the person said, like always, were all correct. No doubt. I lived with too much negative thought about things. Too much dissatisfaction, too much complaint, too much doubt, too much insecurity, too afraid to love people. Yes, I was paranoid! But maybe my heart was designed that way, there’s not much for me to do, innit??

...................

but this song actually shifted my heart a bit. I could feel the joy of loving then.

.

Perhaps Love- John Denver

.

.

Perhaps love is like a resting place

A shelter from the storm

It exists to give you comfort

It is there to keep you warm

And in those times of trouble

When you are most alone

The memory of love will bring you home

.

.

Perhaps love is like a window

Perhaps an open door

It invites you to come closer

It wants to show you more

And even if you lose yourself

And don`t know what to do

The memory of love will see you through

.

.

Oh, love to some is like a cloud

To some as strong as steel

For some a way of living

For some a way to feel

And some say love is holding on

And some say letting go

And some say love is everything

And some say they don`t know

.

.

Perhaps love is like the ocean

Full of conflict, full of pain

Like a fire when it`s cold outside

Or thunder when it rains

If I should live forever

And all my dreams come true

My memories of love will be of you

.

..................

.

.

At the place I am now, I mean HERE, I don’t think there is any person that I totally trust, totally love, totally share secrets with, totally rely on.I just don’t believe in anybody that easy. Oh, maybe there’s somebody here. Someone who I’ve open my door for. Somebody who I am willing to share more with. Somebody that I thank God for. Sayang kamoo, pal :)

.

.

Well I think I ought to change, for real. I should love more, kan?

Put your mask on, dancers!

Tesl Night was over!

Few details bout the event:

Date: 19th Augut 2009

Vanue: King Hall, I4P

Theme: Arabic Maquerade.

It was awesome! (except the fact that a "lalat" had actually spoil my mood that night) The hall was full of colorful costumes, enchanting masks and also wonderful performances. And not to forget, I was also in one of it! :) Looking back a week before, that was the time when I was most preoccupied with work. Assignments, forum, presentations, practices, all drove me up the wall. But thanx to those who supported me all this time, sayang kamooooooooo semua *hugs*

Picture of the dancers :-

Even though it was such a tough time, but doing things I love with people that I love always make me feels good =)
