Assalamualaikum to all my readers.

Sorry guys. Busy schedule is hitting me again. One month left before final exam come. At this point, what is suppose to have in every students mind is all the notes from all the subjects that I have learned in this semester. Unfortunately, that's not happening to me. I'm still floating somewhere in the sky, unaware that the final exam is just around the corner.

It's been a long time since I feel this busy and pack with so many things to do, that I want my weekend to come faster. A couple of weeks ago I went to Malacca for a program organised by UiTM together with Yayasan Bank Rakyat. Will talk about that later because I don't have much time to spend here. As for your ear candy, I leave y'all with a bunch of current songs covered by YouTube stars. Y'all can go and check their YouTube channels by clicking at their names below the video. Enjoy! :)

Sam Tsui - The One That Got Away (Katy Perry)

Tanner Patrick - Stereo Heart (Gym Class Heroes feat. Adam Levine)

Jake Coco and Caitlin Hart - Born This Way (Lady Gaga)

Tanner Patrick - Pumped Up Kicks (Foster The People)

Sam Tsui - Moves Like Jagger (Maroon 5)

Salam to all my readers.

The moment that I have been waiting for has finally arrived. The debut album is out! Wait, whose album!? Well, if you're a fan of this blog, which I doubt if there's any, must know the fact that I'm so into this band. They are a made-up group, formed by four judges in a reality singing competition that has completely change each of the members' lives. Their personality and their music has taken the world, and the girls, by storm. Listening to the band's first album reminded me of Westlife and Backstreet Boys during their early times.

The band that I'm talking about here is non other than ONE DIRECTION, consisting of members Niall Horan, Zayn Malik, Liam Payne, Harry Styles and Louis Tomlinson. The band's first album is entitled Up All Night and some reviews has been given to the album, all positive, complementing the group's carefree, youthful lyrics and pop sensibility. I am 100% sure that all 1D fans are gonna love it coz I think they have made Simon Cowell proud.

Y'all can check out the track listing for the CD below:

What Makes You Beautiful
Gotta Be You
One Thing
More Than This
Up All Night
I Wish
Tell Me A Lie
Taken
I Want
Everything About You
Same Mistakes
Save You Tonight
Stole My Heart

I have gone through all the songs and I was amazed at how clever they are on choosing the right songs and to make sure that this album doesn't across the youthful boundary. I am really pleased with the song choice and can't really pick a favorite.

To all 1D fans, what are you waiting for? Go grab this album at the music stores near you.

Assalamualaikum to all my readers.

It's been a while since I posted my last entry. Well, I don't expect people to ask, 'Hey, where have you been?' or 'Oitt, lama tak update blog,' because I know my level of popularity. LOL. The solid reason that I can give y'all is because I was so busy with my persatuan thingy and also a lot of assignments to be done. Seriously guys, I have so many stories to share here but didn't have time to think of the sentences.

So, now that I'm back, I wanna give y'all a teaser to where I have been last week and what the hell that I'm doing there is all gonna be revealed on my next entry. I can't promise y'all that the next entry will be coming tomorrow but all I can say, I'm pretty excited to update about this and hopefully it can be done as soon as possible. Akhir kata, enjoy the teaser. Salam Maal Hijrah to all Muslims in the world.

:: X Factor UK Live Show 5 - The Result ::

2011-11-07T15:00:00.001+08:00

Assalamualaikum to all my readers.

I'm back with the X-Factor updates again. This time I won't be talking about the Live Show but I wanna highlight the Result Show which I was so shocked to see The Risk went home. Yes guys, it was The Risk who had gone home. For those who have been a fan of this show, sure you all know how talented and how brilliant The Risk were in giving an entertaining and great performance.

Frankly speaking, I think The Risk and their partner in The Groups category, Little Mix (previously known as Rhythmix) have big chance to make it to the finale because both groups especially Little Mix are something that we haven't seen in The X-Factor yet. They are different, more talented than any other girlbands or boybands that had been in The X-Factor before. Because of that reasons, I strongly believe that both can go far in this competition but seeing that The Risk has gone, my hope now is in Little Mix.

~ T- Before the annoucement, B- After the announcement. Look at Tulisa's face! ~

The Result Show this week is a lil bit different because it's double elimination which means, two acts will be heading home. The acts that are in the bottom 3 this week are The Risk, Johnny Robinson and Kitty Brucknell. On the first half of the elimination, we see The Risk left the competition and it's now between Johnny and Kitty. Both are in The Overs category, mentored by Louis Walsh. The judges have voted and the act that is going to follow in The Risk footsteps is Johnny Robinson.

~ Kitty Brucknell and Johnny Robinson during the second half of the elimination. ~

He didn't do anything bad during his stay in the competition and I never liked him. I know that the public love him, the judges love him but come on, he is too old to be starting a career in this business. I think the only reason people love him is because of his bubbly personality. I don't think his vocal is amazing. So, I quite glad that he's gone. But the only act that I wish have gone early is Frankie Cocozza. His vocal range is so limited and with his wild attitude, I don't think he can stand strong when he is out of The X-Factor. Hope he will be eliminated next week.

2011-11-06T23:24:00.000+08:00

Assalamualaikum to all my readers.

First of all, I wanna wish Happy Aidil Adha to all Muslims and my readers. As you all know, I'm already at peace, typing this entry from the comfort of my bed. The other day's journey was a bit of a challenge for me because I woke up at 6 am and had to stay awake for the rest of the day until I reached home. And I have reached home safely. I had doubted my driving skills but judging from the other day, I think I have improved a lot. Kudos to myself! :)

Well, there is no place like home. Same goes to mom's cooking. Everything that my mom touches turn into something tasty and delicious which the reason why we can't resist whatever she makes. So, the other day when I arrived, she was busy making 6 Caramel Cakes for her loyal customers. Because she knew that I hadn't tasted her new recipe, so she had made one extra cake. I'm not bragging or anything but she didn't get so many orders for nothing. This is what Caramel Cake looks like.

~ Caramel Cake ~

My mom is a type of woman who is not scared to try new recipes online and whenever she got it all wrong, she will try again and again until she satisfies with the result. Usually if people try something new and it doesn't happen to be like what they expected, their enthusiasm will drop and they will stop making what they are making. This doesn't happen to my mom and sometimes, I wonder why I don't inherit this good gene. At least I can use it in my study.

~ I also got to eat this. She bought it during her trip to Cameron Highland last few weeks. ~

~ Dried strawberry ~

I think this is all for now. See you next time with more exciting stories. Ciao!

Assalamualaikum to all my readers.

Finally, the time I have been waiting for has arrived. Today (November 4, 2011) is the day where I will be packing and getting ready to go home. For people who study far from their hometown, this moment is a moment they have been waiting patiently since last week.

Despite feeling all excited, I also feel nervous because I'm gonna be driving tomorrow. Like I said in one of my previous entry, this is my first time driving home and surely I feel the nervousness because, well, we are just a group of friends who don't know a lot about cars and the fact that I'm the only guy in the group might add a little pressure on my shoulder. Okay, I know I'm exaggerating facts but you never know what will happen.

Will be spending a week at my hometown and even though I have been provided a lot of assignments by my lecturers, they are not gonna stop me from having a great and relax time at home. When I say relax, I really mean relax. Haha. Bubbye books, bubbye lecture notes. See you next week!

:: Mak Aih! Contest Blog Eazy Izzuddin?! ::

2011-11-02T18:56:00.001+08:00

Assalamualaikum to all my readers.

First and foremost, I want to apologize to Mr. Eazy Izzuddin because I has promised him to participate in his blog contest which I think a contest that give out the most expensive prize so far. Never heard of any contest that has Ipod Shuffle as the main prize so, I was very excited when I read about it but I was kinda busy thus couldn't participate.

Well, where to begin. Honestly, we never hung out together. Never. But thanks to blog and Facebook that has connected us until now. I just met him, once, but I don't know if that count as a meeting because at that time, I was just finished eating dinner at a restaurant and he happened to be there with his friend. So, before I left the place, he called me just to confirm that he wasn't wrong, that the person he saw in the restaurant was me. We met, finally, and spent about, urmm, 5 minutes talking before my friend came and picked me up. The only thing I regret was he asked to take a picture together but since my friend had arrived, I declined and after a moment, I thought that I should have accepted his invitation to take picture together.

As I stated above that we never met, so I don't really have a lot to say about him. But as far as I know, he is a nice guy. He owns a yellow Suzuki Swift, which he really proud of having one, and I think it's cool because he has already own something at his age. Not to mention his DSLR. He likes to take pictures of people he met, maybe as an evidence to say that he has met this person and this person. Haha. I always pick on him, saying that he is a retisss because he loves to spend time with other retisss bloggers like Cik Epal, Nisa Kay and some other famous bloggers which I have forgotten their names. Hee.

He had studied at Unisel. His convocation was last few weeks I suppose and he is now done with school. I guess he will probably going to be a freelance photographer before he start working a real job.

If there is still blogger who doesn't know him, which I doubt that, this is him with his best friend.

~ Taken from his Facebook page ~

I know that the contest has closed and but in keeping with my promise, I make this entry. If he is kind enough, he will consider to put my name in the participant's list. Haha. Okay, I'm just kidding. So, that is it. To Mr. Eazy, am I still qualify to join? :P

Assalamualaikum to all my readers.

I've change my header again. This time, I changed my template too. I wish I could make one because it took me a day just to find a suitable and interesting template and I end up with this one. The idea of changing my blog template first came a few weeks ago but then I still couldn't find the right one and today, after clicking from one link to another, I've found what I would like to think as the one and it just take a few minutes to get it all changed.

~ I adore these cute balls ~

About the header, I opt for a simpler header this time. I don't know, I just like the way it stands up there, alone with no background and only accompanied by three cute little knitted smiley balls. I don't know how long I will be using this header coz I like making header nowadays. All the ideas and the interest, they just come out of nowhere. Whenever I sit in front of my laptop and when I get bored of Facebook, I would click the Photoshop icon and start looking for ideas and thing that can inspire me.

But I'm still new at Photoshop to be honest. There're so many things to be learned. Who knows, I'll doing a contest in the future and the main prize would be a header made by yours truly! Haha. :)

:: Driving me home ::

2011-10-28T01:13:00.000+08:00

Assalamualaikum to all my readers.

Yay! Last weekend I managed to squeeze through my busy schedule and went to Sunway Piramid with my besties to catch the latest installment of Paranormal Activity, entitled Paranormal Activity 3 (PA3).

For those who favour this Paranormal Activity series, you guys must have known how the story evolved, starting from Paranormal Activity 1. This time around, the story is all about how the haunting begins in the family and who responsible to cause all the disturbance. If you think that PA2 is the scariest, well, think again. PA3 is totally gonna scare the hell out of you. I don't wanna to overwrite here coz I don't want to give out any spoilers so, to feel the creepiness that I'm talking about, go to the nearest cinema and watch it yourself.

Okay, moving on to something more important. Next week is Hari Raya Haji, which means that Pudu Raya and Stesen Putra should be packed with people. Fortunately for me, I don't have to go that far to look for the ticket. In fact, I don't need the ticket. This is because, I'll be driving back home. But I'm not alone guys, there will be two other girls accompanying me. You're now assuming that I own a car, aren't you? Well, to answer that question, that's not my car that I'll be driving in, but it's one of the girls' car. I'm just the co-pilot.

~ Thanks Mr. Google ~

Why I'm bringing this up as if it's never been done by human before? It's not like driving back home is something that you can be proud of and make you famous. Well, there's a reason behind it. I never drove outside of Kelantan, which means I never drove from one state to another. So, this is something big for me as it marks the first time I'm driving so far, from Puncak Alam to Kelantan. I remember the moment I told my dad about this and he was kinda disbelieve at first of what he heard but then I promised him to drive slowly and cautiously so that he can stop worrying about the fact that I'm gonna be driving.

So far, I feel confident to drive. I'm gonna get a good sleep the night before and gotta read something about changing flat tire and stuffs. You know, just in case. ;P

Assalamualaikum to all my readers.

~ The contest banner ~

This is a last minute participation for Daniel Adie's SISPA Contest and honestly I didn't even feel like participating at first but then I'm stuck with no entries so I've decided to try my luck. Don't get me wrong guys, the reason why I don't wanna join at first is because I don't like to complete a slogan coz I know I'm suck at doing so but this time around, I'm just gonna try. I'm not gonna die if I try right?

The pictures that I'm gonna use for this contest is what you're gonna see below. I had to dig out tons of files just to find the right pictures and I genuinely think that Adie should take my hard work into account. Haha. Just kidding. But it's gonna be nice if he really does that. LOL.

~ Hehe ~

So what's your opinion seeing my SISPA pictures? I'm gonna leave the decision making to Adie and hopefully he's gonna choose the right picture as the winner of the contest. Oh, before I forgot, this is my slogan.

"Terkadang, senyuman palsu terukir apabila mak ayah suruh buat keje lain masa kita tengah syok layan movie dalam laptop so, terpaksa la senyum tak nak kasi diorang kecik hati."

There's only three days left before the closing and I don't know if the person that I tag is still be able to join. Since tagging at least two bloggers is the rule to complete my participation, so, I'm just gonna tag them. The bloggers that I think will join this are Ame and Kamaryeah.

:: X-Factor UK Live Show 3 ::

2011-10-23T22:57:00.000+08:00

Assalamualaikum to all my readers.

This is gonna a quick review of last week Live Show 2 of The X-Factor UK. Again, I'm not professional in this business so if any of you professionals out there think that what I'm saying here is all wrong and absurd, I'm so sorry and you can click the Cancel button right on the right hand-side. Thank you. :-)

Okay, lets start reviewing shall we?

The Boys

Marcus Collins

He's been amazing this week. Love his voice.

Craig Bolton

I love him the first time I saw him in audition, I love his first two shows and I definitely love this week show.

Frankie Cocozza

Hmm. I don't really like his voice and his performances so far but there's something about him this week that makes me feel like he's back and to make people who doesn't like him change their minds.

The Girls

Janet Devlin

She has a great voice but like Louis, I think she's getting boring. She's been changing all songs into a slowmo ballad song and I think she really need to show her versatility.

Sophie Habibis

She's very forgettable. Should be on the bottom 2 this week.

Misha B

She's a soul diva. Even though she's singing a rock song this week, she's in her own class. Superb!

The Over 30s.

Kitty Brucknell

She rocks this week. Really love her performance and most importantly her loud voice. Nice!

Sami Brookes

I genuinely feel that Gary has some issues within himself coz by saying to someone like Sami boring is definitely the last thing that a person would call her. Hope people are gonna vote for her.

Johnny Robinson

I didn't watch his performance coz from the start I don't think he deserves to be in the competition. I hate how he sound and I hate the fact that he's still here.

The Groups

The Risk

Just one word. FABULOUS!

Rhythmix

I like this girlband and I hope people are gonna vote for them. Their performance this week is just okay. They need to tighten up their chemistry and enhance their vocals performance.

:: House robbery ::

2011-10-21T12:44:00.000+08:00

Assalamualaikum to all my readers.

One thing that people need to get used to if they are residing in Puncak Alam is hearing a lot of burglary cases. There has been so many cases reported for the last 2 months and since the housings here are located at the remote area, the burglars seem to see this as an golden opportunity that shouldn't be missed.

Me and my friends, we rent a house at Perumahan Alam Suria and our house happen to be at the last row of the housing area, which famously known for having many robbery cases. The recent case was reported, a couple of weeks ago, if I'm not mistaken. As I'm typing this entry (at 12.15 am, Friday), my housemates, together with the Rukun Tetangga here are searching for the burglars, that has been seen by the watchmen running from somewhere.

One of my neighbors said that they had tried to go after the robbers but the drizzling rain and the dark of the night made it hard to see. I am not sure how the robbers look like but it is said that they were teenagers, maybe Indonesian teenagers I don't know, and that they had tried to break in to one of the houses here, twice but failed. It's 12.55 am right now and they are still searching for the culprits.

I got a news from my friends, saying that my neighbor's son had been beaten up by the robbers last night. More updates coming up.

2011-10-20T20:12:00.003+08:00

Assalamualaikum to all my readers.

The result is finally in. The judges has decided on who's going to the Live Show and the some of them are deserved to picked and even though I agree with most of the judges' pick, I was kinda surprised for The Girls category. I'm not saying that I'm better than Simon Cowell coz I will be a freakin' ass hole if I say that but I don't know. I just feel like there's someone else (read: Jazzlyn Little) who deserve the final spot.

Oh, speaking about surprised, I don't know what Nicole thinks when she say no to Elaine Gibbs and choose Dexter Haygood instead. I mean, for real, this guy!? He'll make a good entertainment value but to be a serious singer and make it in the business, I think Elaine Gibbs has more chance to do that. She might look boring to some people but when it comes to the best voice, I think Dexter is no match to Elaine. To me, she's a soul diva on the show. Tsk. I feel bad for her. Hope someone sees her talent and sign her up for a record deal.

~ Elaine Gibbs ~

Thank God Simon brought back Melanie Amoro into the competition. To be honest, I don't think Simone Battle deserves the spot at the Live Show. Malanie is wayyyyyyyy better and I wouldn't bother to watch this season if Melanie is not competing. For your information peeps, the judges are gonna eliminate one contestant from each of the category (for The Girls, it will be two contestants) at the Live Show 1 and I hope Simone and Tiah Tolliver are the one to go home.

Okay, enough of whining. Now lets see who the judges have picked as their acts.

The Girls: Simon Cowell

- Melanie Amaro

- Drew Ryniewicz

- Tiah Tolliver

- Simone Battle

- Rachel Crow

The Boys: L.A. Reid

- Brian Bradley

- Chris Rene

- Marcus Canty

- Philip Lomax

The Over 30s: Nicole Scherzinger

- Dexter Haygood

- Stacy Francis

- Josh Krajcik

- LeRoy Bell

The Groups: Paula Abdul

- The Brewer Boys

- InTENsity

- Lakoda Rayne

- The Stereo Hogzz

Assalamualaikum to all my readers.

It's a bit late but I don't promise you guys to give the commentary on time right? I am nothing compare to people who study music or those who has knowledge regarding this thing but this comment or opinion is from someone who has no talent in music but love watching singing reality TV shows.

X-Factor UK

I was expecting something big from my favorite acts and I wasn't impress with Craig's performance. He has a massive voice but the song he chose to sing didn't really expose his great talent. He didn't blow me away like he did on Live Show 1. It was an okay performance to me and I really really hope that Gary can work on choosing the right song for him for Gary has experience in this business.

On the high note, I was happy to see Sami, Misha, Janet and The Risk performances. The Risk did something new to Bruno Mars's Just The Way You Are song and all four of them sounded like they had been together for years. Gary Barlow even said that it was 'pure class'. Great chemistry. Sami sang I Will Always Love You, Misha sang Would I Lie To You and Janet gave justice to Elvis's Can't Help Falling In Love With You song.

X-Factor US

To be honest, I think the category that is gonna bring quite a competition is Over 30s and The Girls, if only Elaine Gibbs and Stacy Francis (Over 30s) and Melanie Amaro (The Girls) are through to Live Show. I tell you guys, these three super talented singers are gonna bring the show down with their performances. For The Boys category, I hope L.A. Reid can do something about them coz I don't see anyone who can beat this three women if people are gonna vote based on talent alone.

I have nothing to say for The Groups category coz it's still not clear which group got the potential to be the next big boyband and I feel like, Paula Abdul should be thinking about her plan to make sure that the girlband curse from the UK version of this show is not gonna come over here. Other than that, lets see who our judges choose to be competing in the Live Show. I can't wait to see the result.

:: X Factor - The updates ::

2011-10-11T11:05:00.000+08:00

Assalamualaikum to all my readers.

The X Factor UK has finally started off its Live Show last week and 16 contestants had been chosen to perform on Live Show 1 before each person from each category is eliminated to make the final cut from 16 to 12. Last week performance was, to me, amazing and most of them look like they're ready to take this challenge on to the next level.

I was disappointed when my favorite boy band, The Keys didn't make it through but apparently Tulisa had made quite a big decision at the Judges' house to break the group apart and take the lead singer, Charlie, to be combined with 3 other contestants who auditioned in solo category but didn't manage to pass to the Judge's house. The newly created group is named as The Risk.

My favorite so far are Sami Brookes (Over 25s) , Misha B and Janet Devlin (the Girls), Craig Colton (the Boys) and The Risk (the Groups). All of them had made me proud to be their fan especially Craig because his rendition of Jar Of Hearts was so in-freakin-sanely uhh-mazing and he melted my heart by his singing. I'm not making a fuss or anything but check this out yourself if you think I'm just talking shit. Others performances was okay to me, especially Nu Vibe which also a last-minute formed group and I don't understand what is so fantastic about this group.

~ Click on this picture to watch his performance ~

If you're wondering which judges mentor which group, wonder no more coz I'm about to tell you guys. Gary Barlow got the Boys, Tulisa got the Groups, Kelly Rowland is ecstatic to get the Girls while Louis is mentoring the same category as the last series of X Factor, which is Over 25s.

X Factor US

Here is a lil update from The X Factor US. All of the judges has received their category to be mentored and below is the list.

Simon Cowell - The Girls
Paula Abdul - The Groups (Her look when she was giving this news is priceless. LOL)
Nicole Scherzinger - Over 30s
L.A. Reid - The Boys

The category that I'm looking forward to see are The Girls coz I think most of the contestants chosen to go to the Judges' house are so talented and Simon might have to decide carefully on who he is gonna choose as his final 3 contestant.

That's all for now peeps. Until then.

Assalamualaikum to all my readers.

Some of you may know that I'm a reality show freak especially those that involves singing. I watch a lot of reality television singing competition, from Akademi Fantasia to One In A Million and from American Idol to The X Factor. But right now, my focus is fix on these two famous reality TV shows which is basically has the same name but is happening at two different places. They are The X Factor UK and The X Factor USA.

To me, I love the concept of this show which involves teaching and mentoring these aspiring singers from the beginning of the show until the end. Unlike American Idol which the judges only give their critics after the contestant performed, the judges on The X Factor give critics and at the same time mentor the contestants. The auditionees need to walk through 3 stages before position themselves at the Live Shows stage. The stages are - Judges' audition, Bootcamp and Judges' house.

As I speak, The X Factor UK and The X Factor US are now airing and kinda like battling to see which version brings out the best out of the best. The X Factor UK is currently on the judges' house stage now whereas The X Factor US is on the Bootcamp stage. I find both version have so many talented and amazing singers and it's kinda hard to see which version is the best. I think I'm gonna enjoy watching these two shows but I'm more eager to watch the US version as it's the first season in US and I wanna see how Americans react to this show.

More updates on this, keep reading this blog. :)

Assalamualaikum to all my readers.

This weekend, we all are going to Pangkor Island to conduct an orientation course for the newcomers a.k.a. juniors SLASH freshmen. This outdoor event is organized by the student's association of my course, named MELTECH. If you don't know what MELTECH is, that means either you're new to this blog or you totally don't care about what I'd written here. Go check this out.

About 100 students are going to participate in this annual event and I'm excited because I've never been to Pangkor Island before and this time, I'm going there with my friends so, apart from being rejoiced by the activities that we are going to do there, I'm also feel extremely overwhelm to put my first footprint there. I've already made list of things that I need to bring. Haha. Can't wait.

About the event, it is named MELTECH Scene Investigation (MSI) Volume 2 and we feel like to keep that name as the official name for our orientation course since it's done annually. Usually the event takes place somewhere in Selangor or Kuala Lumpur but this year, we feel like doing something big, something different and memorable for those newcomers (and also for us, the organizer) so we chose Pangkor Island as the venue. Since this is the first time we're doing this outside of Selangor, our concern are totally on the security aspect and the welfare of all the students who join. We really hope that everything is going to go as planned and may Allah save us from any harm before, during and after the event. Finger crossed! :)

2011-09-29T18:00:00.000+08:00

Assalamualaikum to all my readers.

Howdy people! Today marks the first day or second day, I don't know, of Zulkaedah month. Meaning that Syawal has left us devastated. Why devastated? Because there'll be no more open houses, no more free food and most importantly, no more, ermm, free food. =.="

Last weekend, me and my friends got invited by my other friend to her open house, somewhere in Petaling Jaya. I don't really remember what the name of her housing area is but she lives at the apartment area near the, ermm, okay, I forgot again. But, that's not what I want to highlight in this entry. Read on to see what I did right after we left.

We went batting at Batting Cages, One Utama. It's like playing baseball, minus the wide field and there is a machine throwing balls in front of you. We were dilemma at first whether to watch movie or play at the Batting Cages we chose batting due to majority votes. And I have to say, this game really got me 'high'. When I was a kid, I used to play this kind of game with my friends but we were using any big, hard wooden stick as the bat but that was a long time ago so, getting this opportunity to play it again really brought memories.

My first game was a disaster. I kept mishitting the ball and to make it up for it, I bought another token and played the game for the second time. Still, disaster. But we had fun. Laughing at each other's mishit and cheering for every ball that we managed to hit. It was a lot of fun. You guys who never been to this place before, well I recommend you to come to this place and try it for yourself. This is also a good place to let out your rage as you can hit the ball as hard as you want. Other than that, enjoy these pictures! :)

Assalamualaikum to all my readers.

Happy Sunday guys!

Last night was a hell of a night. That is, my class had an open house and we decided to make a potluck open house. So the event took place at my house and we started setting up the place right after Asar because we need to get the barbecue place ready, so that people can start digging in before midnight.

There was a lot of food prepared by us and we ate like there is no tomorrow. Haha. Honestly, I like doing this kind of stuff, you know, make lots of food and have people come by because it's really lot of fun. Well, to show you how fun we were, these photos will prove it to you guys.

The new semester has begun, which marks my 5^th semester this year. Istill have two more years to finish my life as a degree student and it won’thard to make you believe how fun and stress out student life can be.

From 5 subjects that I’m taking this semester, two of them are subjects that I’malready familiar with, thanks to my diploma years. My expectation towards thesesubjects is high because first, I already knew what the subjects have to offer.Second, I don’t wanna look stupid by failing the class that I already tookduring my diploma years. It’s gonna be interesting to see whether or not I canmake use of my experience and knowledge for both of this classes.

I’ll be keeping my finger crossed. Help me Ya Allah. ;D

:: Kinder Bueno ::

2011-09-18T21:07:00.000+08:00

Assalamualaikum to all my readers.

Do you know that there is speculation claiming that Kinder Bueno is not halal to be eaten by Muslim? I wasn't sure of this at first, but then after I realized that there was no Halal logo by Jakim printed on the wrapper, I started to doubt the halalness of it.

Kinder Bueno is one of my favourite chocolate bar to be honest and I really wish that this rumour is untrue, so that I can enjoy my snack again. But guys, try look at this. If it's not halal, then why it is not placed at the Non-Halal food department? Do the manufacturers realized of the halal status of this food? Correct me if I'm wrong but as far as I concern, there is no official statement made by the Jakim about this and only Jakim has the right to say that whether this certain food is halal or not.

:: Open house ::

2011-09-15T12:02:00.000+08:00

Assalamualaikum to all my readers.

The glorious month of Syawal is going to come to an end in 1 weeks and I am sure that within this period of time people are looking forward to attend as much as open houses as possible. Not to mention wedding invitations.

Living life as a common guy, I didn't get a lot of invitations to go to any open houses or wedding ceremony. Not that I wish people would invite me but it's nice to be invited and eat nice home food once a while. Speaking of that, I went to my friend's house yesterday in Shah Alam. I was quite excited since her mom and herself is a good cook so, I was looking forward to see what was there to be eaten. She served us Nasi Ayam which to me and other guests, was insanely delicious. It looked like any Nasi Ayam you can find at night markets or stalls but the taste was different. There was definitely something special in the dish. So G double O D good!

I'm living in a residential area here in Puncak Alam and there are quite a number of houses that organizing open houses but sadly we don't get invited to any of the house. We're students so, of course we'll be delighted to go because, well, who doesn't want free food right. At least I do. Okay, here I wanna share with you guys some of my moments taken during my visit to my friend's house. Actually, these photos are uploaded just don't wanna make this entry look dull and boring. Don't know whether it works or not enjoy them!

:: Two Caucasian females and a Malay lady ::

2011-09-09T17:40:00.000+08:00

Assalamualaikum to all my readers.

I have arrived here, at my house, in Puncak Alam yesterday and I'm still can't get over the fact that my 4 months holiday is over. Now that I'm here first, I think my housemates expect me to clean up the house and stuff but nahh, I'm just gonna wait for everyone to come. Haha.

Actually I have a funny story to share with you guys. Yesterday, we stopped at Gua Musang R&R for breakfast and while I was checking out the stalls there, I saw a group of Mat Salleh tourist arrived with their Malay driver. I didn't pay a lot of attention to them coz my stomach was grumbling with hunger. So I sat on a table and I saw the tourists walked in and discussing something among them. I think they were discussing on what they want to eat or they didn't know most of the food served at the R&R. The food were typical Malay food so I think they were having problem deciding on what to eat.

~ taken from Google ~

Suddenly, two females from the group came to the stall where I bought my breakfast and they were looking at a steamer full of kuih pau with so many different flavors. So they called out the stallholder and a lady came hurriedly towards them, looking a little uneasy. From the table I sat on, I could see that the two Minah Salleh was trying to buy the kuih pau but they didn't know what was the flavor as it was written in Malay. I pitied the lady coz she looked very uncomfortable, trying to explain the meaning of the flavor in English. She called for help from her friends who was cooking inside the pantry but she refused to go out. An old man sitting near my table even made fun of her saying, "Dio gi sekoloh agamo, dop reti kecek Inggerih dio tu (She went to the religious school so she can't speak English),".

I was still eating my breakfast, i couldn't get up to help so my dad came to her rescue. He explained to the two ladies about the flavor of the kuih pau and other dishes that were served at the stall. The Malay lady looked a little embarrass but she could do nothing to help. Me and my sister couldn't stop laughing. We weren't laughing at the lack of capability of the lady to speak English but the situation and the way the two Minah Salleh trying to understand what was being told by the Malay lady that made us laugh. Honestly, I pitied the lady. As a matter of fact, it's not nice to make fun of a person's incapability.

Assalamualaikum to all my readers.

Well, it's been a while since I posted my last entry which was, I don't know, a week ago. I purposely abstained myself from updating my blog because I didn't really get inspired to write and I felt that I would produce an entah ape-ape entry if I do so. But now I'm back with my a lot of stuffs that I wanna share with you guys my readers. Oh, speaking of readers, I don't know if my blog is still relevant, that people still want to read what I write. But I choose to write regardless.

I'm sure that most of us are still in the raya mode so it'll be good if I write something that has to do with my raya celebration this year. Like usual, me and my family went back to Penang to celebrate our raya. My mom is from Penang, if any of you wonder. Penang has always been one of the best place to celebrate raya because my granny's house is located right in front of the padi fields which make me adore the view and the second thing is, the food. The food always satisfy my taste buds. Whenever we go back to Penang, I will make my aunty find nasi lemak for breakfast, mee curry, bihun soup, mee kuah and above all, laksa. I'm not going back to Kelantan without eating all these delicious food.

It was time to visit my relatives here in Kelantan so, we went home after spending three exciting days celebrating Eid in Penang. When I was visiting them, I realized that it's hard to maintain a relationship with your cousins, your aunties, uncles and friends who you rarely spend time with. I have to admit one thing here. My grandparents has 13 children and I have quite a number of cousins so supposedly it would make my Eid merrier but it wasn't. I am a shy person so it is hard for me to rekindle a relationship if I don't see this particular people often. I will feel like, other than asking them about their studies, there is nothing else I wanna talk about with them, like, I don't know my cousins anymore. I believe it has something to do with us growing up and becoming more adult so the craziness and the fondness that we used to have are kinda fading away.

Sometimes I say to myself, what do I have to do to gain the chemistry back. We are families and it's not okay to see your own cousins and relatives as strangers. It's sucks. I'm 22 years old and if I can't fix this situation now, imagine what would happen when we all got married. We will live thousand miles away from each other, do our own business and it will affect our relationship. I don't want it to happen and I pray to God that someday, I get back the happiness that I used to feel when I was a little kid.

:: Source of pride ::

2011-08-21T07:33:00.000+08:00

Salam to all my readers.

This past few weeks, I had encountered so many people who uploaded the stuffs they bought from their shopping spree. With Hari Raya is around the corner, the number of people who is doing that is skyrocketing.

If a person uploaded a photo or video of her wearing a different style of hijab, maybe she wants to share with the world on how to wear them. If someone published photos of a model taken by them, maybe they wanna share their talent and look for potential client. But what happen if someone who just got home from the mall, take a picture of stuff they bought and purposely upload it (or them) for people to see? I don't think the intention was to give guidance for public to shop.

Don't expect to see paper bag from Jusco or Pacific in picture they have uploaded coz all you're gonna see are stuffs from for example, Zarra, Topman, Jefferson or any other famous, exclusive and expensive brands. After a minute or two, people will start commenting on the picture, praising you for how rich you are to be able to buy all the branded things and it makes me sick when they try to act all innocent and reply, "Ala, biase biase je ni." when the actual thing they wanna say is "Yeah, I am damn rich!". Even though they claim they're not boosting with pride, at some extent, it will come out sooner or later.

~ The real photo taken from his Facebook ~

There is another thing that got me blurting all the harsh words whenever I see theirs photos. I call them as anak ikan or money boy since they constantly receive expensive gifts from whom they call as brothers. I quite close with one of these people and I know, being a full-time student (or maybe not full time in his case) and still getting money from his parents, there is no way he can afford all that plush stuffs. Every now and then, he'll post a photo of a gift from one of his 'brothers' and caption it with, again, modesty when all his feeling is high-pride.

Well, maybe that's how they chose to live their life. I have no right to say anything to them but like I said, it's really annoyed me when all I wanna do is checking my Facebook latest status and their photos suddenly appeared on my wall. I can't stand people like this, dang it! I'm sorry if any of you feel offended by what I write but this is something that I would call, straight from the heart. Sometime, there's thing that need to be kept low-profile.

Salam to all my readers.

I don't know whether this is a latest gossip or not but I think it is. Apparently, girls and women around the world would have to stop looking for love potion because Harry Potter star, Daniel Radcliffe was recently spotted strolling down the New York street, hand-in-hand with a mystery girlfriend.

However, the identity of the mystery girlfriend has been unfolded and Daniel is said to have been meeting this girl during filming the last three Harry Potter movies and his upcoming movie, The Woman In Black. According to reports, Daniel and Rossane Coker started dating last year and is rumoured to be living together. These pictures below might rub salt to every girls wound but at least all you girls can do now is praying for his happiness.

:: The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks ::

2011-08-18T23:25:00.000+08:00

Assalamualaikum to all my readers.

I like reading novels. It’s more fun when you have sisters and cousin who share the same hobby of yours. We always trade books with each other and most of the time, my cousin is someone I’d normally find to look for something to read since she has a shelve full with different kind of novels. A couple of weeks ago, I went to the Popular Bookstore and the intention was to find a newly published novel. I came across this novel, looking at the title, I didn’t have any clue of who Henrietta Lacks was. After reading the synopsis, I was sure that this is gonna something interesting to read. So, I bought it, happily.

The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks. This is the title of the book that I’m about to share with you guys. I don’t usually read medical-related books but this book is different. It has medical story as well as conflict drama about a person who has done a lot for human being, even after her death. Since it’s impossible for you to read the synopsis, I’m gonna copy it down so that you guys can read it.

“Her name was Henrietta Lacks, but scientists know her as HeLa. Born a poor, black tobacco farmer, her cancer cells – taken without her knowledge – became a multimillion-dollar industry and one of the most important tools in medicine. Yet Henrietta’s family did not learn of her ‘immortality’ until more than twenty years after her death, with devastating consequences... Balancing the beauty and drama of scientific discovery with dark questions about who owns the stuff our bodies are made of, The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks is an extraordinary detective story in search of the soul and story of a real woman, whose cells live on today in all four corners of the world.”

~ The book ~

~ Henrietta's family photo ~

One of the comment about the book said, "Rebecca Skloot (the author) explores the idealism and faith in science that helped to save thousands of lives but nearly destroyed a family. This is an extraordinary book, haunting and beautifully told." The reasons why I bought this book in the first place are because it has something to do with my studying and it is a true story. The story is set in from 1920s to 2000s and it gives you the picture of how bad the situation during the racism era in United States where black people were seen as the most dangerous, the poorest and notorious people.

I am already halfway through and I enjoy reading it. I'm a slow reader so, it took me 10 days to read half of the book. Will need another 10 or 15 days to finish it up. For those interested of purchasing this book, it doesn't cost much. RM39.90, that's the price you have to pay.

:: I'm fine with just one Facebook account ::

Salam to all my readers.

First and foremost, let me make myself clear that I have no intention to annoy someone with my writing or if there is someone who may not like things that I will be writing here, I just have gotta tell you this - get your ass out of my blog! Hee.

I am aware that this issue has been brought by so many bloggers before me but it doesn't gonna stop me from pouring my ideas and thoughts into this one because there is people who probably still don't understand how much I hate to see people with two or three Facebook account. Opss, I think I may have slipped out my main point right out of my mouth. Haha.

Fine, I get it. It's your Facebook so, you can do whatever you want with it but honestly dude, do you really need to approve everybody who want to add you as friend and keep making another account so that you can fit everyone in it? If any of you accuse me for being jealous because I didn't get a lot of friend requests, well, please save it. How do you know that I didn't get a lot of friend requests? Haa. See, that's the trick. What? There is also who own a fan page even though they are nobody? Okay, let's not go there coz it's totally a different story. LMAO.

~ Pic courtesy of Google ~

From my understanding, Facebook has limited its number of friends up to 5000++. Theoretically, people who has more than one Facebook account has more than 5000 friends and do they really know each and everyone of them? I add and approve people too but only to whom I feel I know, if not close, quite well mainly from my previous schools, relatives and not to mention bloggers. Moreover, there is also a phrase saying, 'I'd rather have fewer close friends than have thousands of friends who are not there when you need them'. If you still don't have a clue about the hidden meaning of the phrase, go get someone who can break it down for you.

I better stop writing now. This is just my point of view so if you think you can't handle it, refer to paragraph number 1. Good day everyone!

Salam to all my readers.

There is a few questions asked by Anonymous (actually I know who they are but I choose not to reveal their identities) about what is the reason I blog and what did I get from blogging because according to these observers, they look at me as a decadent blogger, whose blog doesn't give anything but wasting of time.

Well, honestly people, when I first started out in this blogging world, I didn't even know there is a vlogger or nuffnang or whatever it is that famous bloggers usually have on their blogs. I was just someone who likes to write about anything, mostly crappy stuffs, and wanted to improve my English thus I chose English as the medium.

I am aware that I am not as lucky as those famous bloggers are, who got famous instantly after posting two to three entries, or having their videos watched by millions of people. I don't get a lot of cash out of Nuffnang, I don't have thousand of followers and most importantly, I don't have a fan page. I'm just a blogger who writes about stuff and never involved in any event created and organized by bloggers. Maybe the fact that I live outside of KL makes me hard to join.

So, to make thing short and simple, I'm happy with my life right now. Even though people don't recognize me as people do to Anwar Hadi or Hanis Zalikha, I'm fine with that. Whatever it is, I do have a dream to see my blog become a must-read blog one day and people will be like "Have you read the latest article on Judiene's Soul?" "Yeah, I've read it 3 times already." Haha. InsyaAllah.

:: Teaching UPSR candidates ::

2011-08-13T18:51:00.000+08:00

Salam to all readers.

There is something apart from myself telling me that I wanna be an educator when I grow up. The funny thing is, I haven't aware of this until I realize how tough this world can be if you don't have solid vision in life and that happen after I graduated from high school. My mom had told me hundreds of time to enrol in any Institut Perguruan in Malaysia but I refused because I thought being an educator was not going to make me rich. That was because I didn't see the big picture and now, I kinda regret for not following her advice.

So, after all this years, an opportunity to become an educator suddenly reappeared and came to me. My former headmistress had invited me and my friends to be Assistant Teacher (not teachers' assistant) for a day and obviously it involved teaching. The objective of this program is to help students who has not doing a good job with Maths and give them a personal tutor. 10 volunteers, including me, had joined the program the students seemed delighted to see their seniors and shared some of our stories during our days in the school with them.

We were sitting opposite them, on the stage, beautifully decorated and introduced ourselves one by one as well as telling them the proper way of studying and how to focus in the Maths subject. To be honest, I was quite nervous talking in front of them, mostly because I didn't expect to give a speech. I thought we were gonna come and just get into the class but apparently not. I tried to crack a few jokes but I thought I was making fool of myself. After a terrifying welcoming speech, we helped the teachers giving out questions papers and walked around the hall to see if somebody needs our help. A student suddenly called upon me. I walked toward him and asked what he didn't understand. To my surprise, he actually couldn't read, let alone to count.

~ The UPSR candidates ~

~ Me and my friend standing in front of a class ~

I didn't panic, astonishingly, and thought to myself, it's time to get my hand dirty. I taught him to understand what's the question want and I taught him how to count. Seriously, it was like teaching a kindergarten student. When I let him do the next question, he was struggling with the words. I saw him staring at the question paper and I was touched. To see him in that state, few months before the UPSR exam was really unbelievable. Don't know how he's gonna pull it off during the exam. I wish him good luck. He really needs it.

To me, this experience is priceless. Not only is it brought memories but also it motivated me in some kinda ways. I really wanna help them but we were running out of time and hope that the teachers could do something like this more often. I wanna give back to the school which has make me a person I am today.

:: Get married first for God sake! ::

2011-08-09T20:20:00.000+08:00

Salam to all my readers.

While I was looking at my Facebook last night, a status posted by a friend of mine suddenly appeared on my wall. Take a look at what he had posted.

The message is clear and simple for people to understand. If there is people who still scratch their heads after reading this, you better go live somewhere else, everywhere but earth. I mean, seriously guys, if you are in a relationship with someone, please, in a million years, don't ever treat your partner like this. This is psycho man!

I know if you worry about your partner but honestly, asking this sort of questions is making you less caring boyfriend/girlfriend but more controlling one. I'm sure none of us wanna be label as the latter, don't we? The thing is, it gets really annoying and disturbing to see an unmarried couple acting like they have been married for years, especially when the people that you see is somebody close to you. Like for example, when your female friend wants to go out with you and your other friends, her boyfriend has setup a few rules and the rules are, like, no single guy in the group, make sure she gets back home before midnight and the list goes on.

I can't actually see what's the joy they find in this kind of relationship, I mean, like obviously he is controlling her life before they even get married. Can't imagine what else he will do after they tied the knot. Trust me, you're not gonna lose your partner by not acting this way. Well, not if your partner loves you as much as you do. Have faith in your partner, trust her if she says she is not gonna fall for somebody else. I know it is not easy to gain people trust but it is apart of living a wonderful life with your partner so, you gotta own it. It will come in time.

:: Hitting Bazaar Ramadhan ::

2011-08-05T14:52:00.000+08:00

Salam to all my readers.

Lets face it, who is going to be richer the moment Ramadhan draws the curtain down? The answer is the hawkers that responsible for giving you all sort of ready-to-eat food at the bazaar Ramadhan. Every year during this fasting season, people will be more fascinated about where the bazaar will be open up or is it gonna be big like last year or I hope the one who sold ayam percik last year will be selling it this year.

I'm not saying it's wrong to go to the bazaar or anything, it's one of the must-go places during Ramadhan, other than the masjid of course. The bazaar is the alternative way for people to look for their juadah berbuka if their mothers or their spouses are busy and unable to cook for the particular day. Everyone loves to go there, myself included BUT as for me, I go there ONLY if there is no source of food for me to break my fast. Like when I was studying in Seremban last two years, me and my friends often go to the bazaar only because we didn't have the tools for cooking and if we did have, we didn't know how to cook like our mothers do. So, the last resort was, going to the bazaar.

This year, I've got the chance to spend the whole Ramadhan at home and so far, it has been a bless. Been able to sit down and enjoy the meal during berbuka and bersahur with family is a moment you can't get anywhere else. One thing that I really admire about my mother is, she likes to cook for family and we don't have to go to the bazaar anymore since she can cook pretty much everything that is being sell at the bazaar. Well, not all at once of course. My mother is the best! Love you mom! :)

:: Segmen | Singgah Sahur Pucukandubi ::

Salam to all my readers.

This morning, I blogwalked after finished cleaning the house as my mom had asked me to do so last night. I stumbled upon a blog called Pucukandubi, owned by, quite a famous blogger I must say, referring to his amount of followers. Done reading few entries of his, including the latest segment hosted by him named Singgah Sahur Pucukandubi. Click on the banner below to go straight to this segment.

As I viewed at the contestants, well, they are not really contestants because this is not a contest, the bloggers who have joined the segment, there are like 70++ of them, indicating how famous this blogger is. Because I want to be apart of his big community, I have followed him. Okay, back to the segment. Basically, we don't have to complete a slogan or anything, simply just write a few lines regarding the segment and you're done. Your blog will make into the list anytime soon.

Later, he will make a review on your blog and that is so interesting because it is one of the ways to let people know about your blog and also, we might find new friends along the way. Well, if he is gonna make a review on my blog, I will be like, so humble because, I don't know what he will be writing about my blog. You see, my blog doesn't have like, a concept or a theme to write about. I just write what I feel like to at a certain moment. My blog is a rojak blog.

So, hope I will make into the list. To the Mr. Ame, have fun reading my blog.

I just watched Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows Part 2, in my room, alone, away from any distractions. All I can say is, I'm so glad that I didn't catch the movie in cinema. I'm not complaining, I'm expressing my gratitude to God that have made me realize that I should watch it alone. It is because, there are a lot of scenes in the movie that can make me yell Accio handkerchief or Accio tissue. Some guys might not gonna admit the fact that the movie brought them to tears but I'm gonna come clean and say yes, I did shed tears.

It is unsurprisingly that watching final installment of Harry Potter can make my eyes watery, especially at the scene where Professor Snape was dying after been attacked by Nagini and he asked Harry to collect his memory that subsequently brought me to tears, again, during the scene where Dumbledore was talking to Snape about the plan and where Snape admitted to have affection on Harry. While I was reading the book, the story already moved me and I was like, lying on bed, thinking what would David Yates do to make this scene alive and to make the audience feel the sadness that I'd felt. And yes, David did it.

The war between the good and the bad people is so amazing but I wish David could elaborate more on Professor McGonagall fighting scene coz I think she truly deserves the spotlight moment as she is likely to be the next headmistress of Hogwarts. Also, the ending, after Harry had killed Voldermort and entered the Great Hall, everybody seemed to not realize the impact of the death of The Dark Lord. I wish if, maybe the students and the teachers could go, like cheering Harry up or Professor McGonagall hugging Harry or something. But hey, I'm really happy the way everything turn out to be. This is an incredibly amazing piece and despite the changes that I have suggested, it couldn't get better than this.

I'll definitely miss Harry Potter, I mean the books, the movies and the craze the franchise has created. Truth to be told, I bid farewell to the boy with the lightning-bolt scar two years ago, when I finished reading the final chapter of the final book. But you know, it's never easy to say goodbye.

Salam to all my readers.

As I mentioned on my previous entry, I'm gonna be talking about David Archuleta and it's not about his cuteness that will be my subject here. Instead, I wanna highlight his concert which was held on July 27, at Stadium Negara.

If you're expecting me to upload some photos taken during the concert, no, I will not be doing that. That is because, I wasn't there. Meaning, I missed his concert. It's kinda frustrating when you really wish that you can achieve something, but then it turns out not. I know I couldn't afford the ticket price because it was too expensive, so I tried another alternative. I literally had joined almost every contest that I know, that has his concert ticket as the prize but I guess I'm not lucky enough to be picked as the winner.

The organizer also had given out Meet & Greet passes for lucky fans during the ticket pre-sale ceremony at Berjaya Times Square which was really awesome for those who got the passes. It's the key to meet David up close and personal. You can see him, face to face, have a photo taken with him, OMG, that's awesome. I can only imagine how nervous they were before meeting him. If I were there, I would be like, wrote down of what I'm gonna say to him, you know, in case you got stumble on your words.

~ See their happy faces! Arghh! ~

~ David performing ~

~ David sings his heart out much to the fans' delighted ~

Anyway, I have this one video of David singing Heaven, originally by Bryan Adams. To me, his singing was so intense, full with emotions and he sounded beautifully. I fall in love, not with him, but this video. Damn, he is so good.

Salam to all my readers.

Do you what it feels like to be able to meet your favourite singer and to actually organize a concert for him/her? Well, I have the perfect answer for this question - awesome!

I got a chance to be up close and personal with one of my favourite singer, the teen idol and pop sensation, Justin Bieber. Yes, you read it right. It's Justin Bieber. Okay, before you got the wrong idea, it was actually my dream and for some reasons, the dream felt so vivid and real. I don't have any idea how he could emerge in my dream, maybe because I had listened to his songs and before I went to bed last night. Not only was I met him, I was directing his charity concert too. LOL.

~ Justin Bieber ~

We were discussing on which songs was suitable to be performed on stage and a minute later, the scene changed. Me and Justin, singing the 'Never Say Never' song together, in a recording room. I know it sounds crazy and should I say ermm, nahh forget it, but it's dream, everything can happen in a dream. I enjoyed every second being with him and organizing the concert that when woke up, I was like, wishing so that the dream will continue as soon as I get back to sleep. It's crazy, I know. The charity concert went well I guess coz apparently I was awaken by 'Girlfriend' song, right before the concert had ended. Hopefully we manage to collect a big sum of money. LOL!

It was a fun dream and the next person hopefully I can meet is whether David Archuleta, Celine Dion or Emma Watson. Or all of them together. Haha.

p/s: I'm a fan of Justin Bieber. So what!? Got problem with that?

Salam to all my readers.

Today is the first day that Malaysians will be able to watch the final installment of Harry Potter and I am sure that all die-hard fans of this movie are dying to get on the seat inside of the cinema, waiting for the movie to be showed. Some of them might walk out of the screening room feeling sad because this is the final Harry Potter movies, while some of them might be feeling satisfied because the movie is packed with actions that we all wanted to see when we watched Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows Part 1. I guess all of this will not be happening to me.

Me and my buddies have planned to watch the part 2 together, since we left cinema after watching the part 1 and we all can't wait to see it, especially me. I am one of the die-hard Harry Potter fans and I knew this movie is gonna be big the moment I saw Harry Potter and Philosopher's Stone back in 2002 and after I found out that there were six other books of Harry Potter franchise. I have read all the books and watched the series a couple of times and I'm not gonna lie, I think J.K Rowling have this magical fingers that makes her writings not boring, even we read them more than once.

Sadly, I am not gonna be able to watch this final movie in cinema because apparently my dad doesn't understand his son and won't let him go to KL to catch this movie. To be honest, he really blows my top. This is the final one and I can't believe he said NO when I asked his permission. I thought he knew how crazy I am over this thing. It's a big deal for me to see it and he just blew the chance. I didn't show all this unsatisfactory to my face because I don't think he's gonna change his mind if I did. This is so hard for me to accept and I have tried to see what is the rationale behind his decision and I only can come out with this reason - He can have his money spared and not to be wasted on my desire.

So, for those who've got the chance to see it on cinema, be grateful. That's all I have to say. Ciao!

:: Things I do after having a nightmare ::

2011-07-10T18:33:00.000+08:00

Salam to all my readers.

Today I woke up quite early, wait, not quite but really early and it was 4.48 am when I looked at the clock. Truth be told, I never woke this early, even my mom was surprised at how early I woke up today. Now, before you judge me and assume that I'm bragging for waking up so early, let me tell you the real reason of why it happened.

I had a nightmare!!! Yes, I was having a nightmare and when I woke up, the images of the ghost in my dreams kept playing in my mind. I was sweating and I had a hard time trying to get back to sleep. Laugh at me if you want but I'm sure each and every one of you must have been in this situation before. It's not that I was so scared that I can't go back to sleep okay, please. Fine! I did feel scared, a bit. Who wouldn't be if you just had a nightmare. Duhh! I'm here not to talk about my nightmare, instead, I want to share with you guys the funny thing I did so that I could remain calm and try to get back to sleep.

First, I recited my prayers hoping that it could make me forget about the ghost's images. When I found that it didn't really work, I switched on the light but the brightness of the light made it even harder to sleep. I used to sleep with the light still on when I was a little and that was why I thought I could sleep if I turn on the light but clearly it is no longer apply at my age. As I was thinking what else I could do to get back to sleep, I noticed a copy of Galaxie magazine on my bedside table. I took it and read it until I heard azan Subuh from the nearest mosque. At that time I was like, kinda relief because finally the dawn is approaching and all of a sudden, the scary images inside of my head vanished.

So guys, if you are happen to be waken up by the nightmare you had, try to imitate my actions and see whether it works for you or not. Hehe. Until then, wash your feet before going to bed. Ciao!

:: Entertainment industry promise big returns ::

Salam to all my readers.

I am so disappointed in myself. It's been 2 months since my semester break started and I haven't got myself any job. At this moment, most of my friends are working their asses off with part-time job and it's really make me feel like I'm a loser for staying at home and do nothing. It's not like I didn't try looking for a part-time job, I did to be honest.

I've been to interviews and have applied on many jobs but it seems like luck haven't found me yet. Oh, people at KFC did give me a call a couple of weeks ago and it was the manager of KFC franchise at my place. She said she would call me back to set up an interview for me but nahh, I think she lied because until now, there isn't any single call from her. I put high hope on this one but hey, I'm still jobless.

You know what guys, I've been watching a lot of E! and most of the shows are like The Keeping Up series, Mel B shows, Top Model shows and anything related to the entertainment industry. Sometimes, I feel like involving myself into this shit. Like, doing some acting or modeling or acting. I think I suit acting better coz I'm not tall and buff and HANDSOME enough to become a model. LOL. I don't know. I see those who work in this industry gain a lot of money than we normal people do, especially in Hollywood. They're making like millions of money a month. Or maybe a week.

If there is a chance for me to get into this thing, honestly I would do it. I don't mind got chased by the paparazzi (LOL!!). As long as the source is halal then, why not. It's something that I would love to do just haven't got the chance yet. In Hollywood, you are rich even though you just have a movie or drama came out. I wonder what people might think of me if I ever make my own reality show. Hahaha. Double LOL!!

Salam to all my readers.

I have received a lot of guessing from my readers regarding the second Wordless Wednesday picture, on my previous entry. Hereby, I want to announce that, none of the guessing is right. The picture was actually taken a year ago and there was no GCB inside of the package but a fries and a Double Cheese Burger instead.

The picture reflects my inner voice that is craving for McDonald (McD) burger and its food. It is sad to admit that there is no McD franchise here in Tanah Merah. In fact, I have to travel more than 50 km just to get a taste of McD. It's been nearly two months since the last time I ate the burger. I'm not bragging or anything but during my days at Puncak Alam, we used to eat McD like, at least once in two weeks, or maybe once a week. It's not that we're so rich and high standard that we refuse to eat anything beside McD but the McD restaurant is situated only a stone's throw away from UiTM Puncak Alam. This is the main factor why we prone to say Yes whenever one of us say "Hey, makan McD jom!"

You can also say that I put the blame on McD for making me chubby and stout like this. I tried avoiding McD but the force was too powerful that we couldn't resists the temptation. I guess none of us couldn't stand not stopping by when you drive pass the building everyday. It's like there's a black hole in there. Haha. So guys, now you know why I said the picture means a lot to me. :)

Salam to all my readers.

I am a big fan of Sazzy Falak. I think she is what modern women are suppose to be like today. She's smart, she's energetic, she's fashionable and she has a great career as a model, a spokesperson, an actress, a host and she recently landed another big role ever in her life, a mom. Yes. She is a mom of a twins, named Iman Lilly and Tiara Rose.

She had slowed down her pace in the industry and chose to channel her attention to her husband and her pregnancy. Today, on ntv7 Breakfast Show, she made her first appearance I think after giving birth to the twins. She looks breathtaking. Even Nazz joked around with her, stressing on the fact that Sazzy is 30 years old but she doesn't look like one. I agree with him. She looks ageless. Anyway, she has a new movie coming out next month called 'Tolong! Awek Aku Pontianak' alongside Shaheizy Sam if I'm not mistaken.

Wish her good luck and all the best in her career.

:: Do share ::

2011-06-27T13:10:00.000+08:00

Salam to all my readers.

We as human are never gonna get away from problems. No matter where you hide, no matter where you go, ones life is not complete without problems. We can't say we are doomed whenever problems fall on us. Sometime, problems are the reason we have a life we're living now. It needs to be solved, it requires solution, in order for us to see what is the underlying meaning.

Every person has their own way to reduce the burden they carried. Some like to write it down in a diary, some like to sit and have a nice talk. The methodology is different, but the meaning behind it is the same. Problems are meant to be shared. If you're a person who likes to write, then the diary or any kind of writing material is your partner. Even though it's not a living thing, it will sort of lighten whatever the burden that you're carrying. Same goes to the person who likes to have a conversation with other people.

~ Sharing is not contagious ~

If you ask me which way I prefer, I would say, both. I used to have a diary back when I was in high school. I still remember, my friends always trying to steal my diary, coz they wanna see what is exactly that I write. They would try to peek whenever I want to pour my thoughts and memories into the diary. However, the impact I get is maximum with face to face conversation. Obviously it's the best method to reduce your stress from the problem you're having. People can give their opinion or thoughts straight away and its really help me to know whether the people that I'm sharing problems with is listening or not. Honestly, I wouldn't bother to be a place for my friends to share their problems because its sort of tighten our bonding.

So guys, whenever you're dealing with problems that you can't find the solution alone, do share. Sharing doesn't hurt you. You will get hurt if you opt to keep it within yourself. After all, sharing is caring right? Hehe. Until next time, ciao!

:: I'm sorry Dad ::

2011-06-24T22:58:00.000+08:00

Salam to all my readers.

Yesterday, me and my family had a dinner together. It's been a while actually since the last we ate dinner as a whole family. My mom usually didn't take her dinner. She likes to watch us eating her well-cooked meals. That satisfies her I guess. My sister on the other hand, is on a diet program. Well, at least that what I had been told. So, it was great for us to sit down and enjoy the meals while catching up with each other thing.

I was enjoying my mom's Ayam Masak Paprik when suddenly my dad asked me about my result. I didn't remember who'd brought that up but since he asked, I told him everything. I was so disappointed with my result, so did my father. I made excuses, telling him how I'd struggled with chemistry, the lab math and it might have something to do with luck. Then my dad said something that made me feel something inside.

He said, it's not about the luck or the cruciality of a subject that caused my result to go plummet. Instead, he believed that I had lost my focus and to see what exactly that I am suppose to do, but he kept accentuating on the focus thing. And then I said, maybe I am not clever enough to digest all the information given by my lecturer finely and he kinda snapped at the words. He said, he believes in me, he believes that I can do it and he also believes that his sons and daughters are all clever and it's not about I'm clever or not. Again, the focus thing reappeared.

If my dad believes in me, who am I to doubt that? I am so sorry that I didn't live up to his expectation and trust me dad, it's not my intention to doubt my own self and to make me look like I haven't learn anything at college. I promised him that I will try my best next semester and he even challenged me to get a DA and I don't know if he kiddingly say this but it seems I will be no longer taking pictures using my camera phone. Hehe. The reward for me if I were to get a DA next semester is a DSLR! Wow!

Oh God, please, help me to stay focus! This is a big deal and it really excites me. My new mission next semester: get a DA and it will lead to my dad buying me a DSLR. Haha. Until then guys, ciao!

Salam to all my readers.

I'm actually not in the mood to post any entry here but I have to post this thing, since it's the most happiest news that I've ever heard for the past few days. David Archuleta is coming to Malaysia this July. And this time, he's gonna perform for a full concert, live at Stadium Negara.

~ the concert poster ~

~ the seating plan for the concert ~

I was extremely happy and pleasure when I first saw the news on the Sony Music Malaysia facebook. This is the chance for me to see him performing live in front of my eyes and I know I've got to be there. But before I could be happier, the list of the ticket price was officially announced and I was feeling slightly devastated over the news. And then I came back to the reality. How on earth, I'm going to afford the ticket? I have no job, my PTPTN loan has gone and I don't think my dad would be glad if I come to him and ask for the money.

The last time he came down here, he did a showcase at Sunway Lagoon and I was dying to get the pass for the showcase. I still remember the day before the showcase take place, Sony Music had this pass giveaway thing going on within a limited time and we were suppose to call them and asked for the pass. I was in the middle of a lecture that day and my hand couldn't let go off my phone. I tried to call the Sony Music but it couldn't get through. So when David is going to come here again and i thought, I must not let this chance slip away. But then, tsk, I have no idea how to get the ticket.

~ David Archuleta at the American Idol 2011 Finale ~

There's only one way to get the ticket free of charge. I have to tune in to Fly FM everyday until the concert day, waiting for the giveaway. I think this is the only way, unless there is a generous and flush person out there who willing to sponsor me a ticket. If there is, I promise I'd do anything to you. Please! This is a serious matter. No joking.

Okay, as you all know, I am jobless and official my mom's new assistant. In between my so-called hectic schedule at home, I actually trying to finish reading Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows book for the third time. I got to reread the story and kinda refresh my mind before it hits cinema this mid July.

Harry Potter books never make me yawning while reading them, even though I have watched the movies several times. It's like the best novel ever. I thought it will take like 2 months for me to finish the whole book but I couldn't stop myself from flipping from page to page and it's 30% more to read before I can close it and say, "Ahh, what a journey,". Hehe.

Maybe you guys think I'm exaggerating the whole thing but it really make me sad because this is the last chapter of an amazing, uplifting and magic-filled journey and I knew it when the first time I watched this movie that this gonna be exciting to watch. And from there I started to read the books. Somebody told me that Harry Potter is not for adults spectacle, instead, its for underage teenagers. I was like, haha, I like the story so, it's enough for me to watch it.

My eagerness to see how the director's vision on making the final installment the best installment ever is so over the top, like I really can't wait. I do hope he can stick to what is written in the book and not alter the storyline too much because it might change the mood of the fans whose watching it. Oh, if you wanna watch the official trailer, just click here. Until then, ciao!

Salam to all my readers.

Tomorrow is June 11th, marked the 30 days I am home, doing nothing but stuffing my stomach with food and getting my so-called perfect body shape into a plump. Seriously, I could die anytime, boredom is gonna kill me anytime. My dad said it is okay for me to stay home unemployed BUT I have to help my mom do the chores. Picking up my brother from school is a must-do job.

I had been to several places, asking for job. I'd been to clinics, pharmacies, KFC outlet even had an interview at Lavino Furniture store here but none of them have given their answers yet. I wonder if they don't want me but they try to be nice by saying, "We'll call you as soon as we've come up with the decision,". Oh oh, the best part was, I went to the PPD and got interviewed for the substitute teacher post and my field of teaching is English. The officer who interviewed me said that I might be getting the job if there is any vacancy coz majority of people who sent their resumes doesn't have gut to teach English subject. I was extremely excited that I couldn't wait to tell my mom and my dad about this.

But, up till now, I am still unemployed. Maybe there is no vacancy at any school in Tanah Merah. The reason why I really need a job during the 4 months holiday is because I need money. I have planned a vacation to Penang this July and I'm gonna go there alone and stay at my friend's place so, that's really a reason why I need money. And if you think the vacation is not necessary, well think twice, because the finale installment of Harry Potter will be out in mid-July and I have to watch it. I can't imagine myself not watching it in theater. Seriously, Kelantan should get itself a cinema so TGV or GSC, please double up your work on establishing a cinema here.

I think this should be sufficient for an entry. I couldn't think of anything else to be written here. Oh, I'm gonna keep my finger crossed so that I'm gonna get a job soon and guys, please, pray for my future. Or I can't go to Penang. Haha. Until then, ciao!

Basically I just wanna highlight my new header coz it seems that idea is nowhere near me. I have always loved flash header, I don't know, I just find it cool. I really wish that I had all the technologies and the software and knowledge on how to design header or edit pictures. I have a friend who is master at photoshop but he said, it took years for him to really know each and every single tool that is in the photoshop.

Oh yeah before I forget, from now on, I am no longer 'emptysoul'. Instead, my blog is now called Judiene's Soul. Somebody said that emptysoul is like a prayer and when people keep saying the word, it's not nice. My soul is empty right now, I mean beside Allah, the room in my heart is unoccupied but I don't wanna be emptysoul forever so, lets change it to Judiene's Soul. Hehe.

Did you guys watch Keeping Up With The Kardashians? It is a reality TV show about Kourtney, Kim and Khloe Kardashian and their crazy, banter and antics family, with their busy and funny mom, Kris Jenner, trying to get her family together. It is a interesting show to watch, really, coz, I don't know, I just like to watch it. The show is gonna premiere its six season this week, June 12 on E! Channel.

It is not the show that I wanna talk about, instead, I wanna highlight about one of the main role in this show, Khloe Kardashian. I didn't get to watch the show quite often before this because my dad didn't subscribe to the E! Channel and the only source I got was the Youtube but since he changed his mind and subscribed it, I don't miss a single episode. Okay, what about Khloe that I really like? Well, she's not the prettiest Kardashians in the family but to me, she is. Why, because she's just like a breath of a fresh air.

~ the whole crew ~

~ Khloe at the blue carpet of People's Choice Award 2011 ~

Usually we describe women who have long legs, big boobs, slim and tall as a bombshell but Khloe doesn't possess all these characteristics. I put her under plus-size category because she is big and tall. She's not fat, she's curvy, you know, like Jordin Sparks. Unlike her, Khloe has this aura, I don't know what to call it but she has this strong, powerful-looking woman. I don't know, I just like her. So so much. I really wish that one day I could have a girlfriend who is tall and big, just like her. Majority of guys would go for slim figure women but I'll pass. Haha. I find plus-size women are more attractive than slim figure women. Khloe is married now, to a LA Lakers player, Lama Odom.

Both contestants have put in their best last night at the performance show and as the result show comes to the end, Ryan finally announced that the winner of American Idol is Scotty McCreery.

~ The reunion of top 13 finalist ~

I am gutted and my dream of seeing female contestants be crowned as the American Idol tear into pieces. It's not that I don't like Scotty at all. In fact I do enjoy his performances every week but to win something as big as American Idol, you need to have at least strong voice and I don't think Scotty has that. It's obvious that Lauren was one of this season's best singers and if its based on the shows that they did the night before, Lauren did better than Scotty and therefore she should win the title.

Remember what Jennifer said during Lauren's performance of 'Like My Mother Does'? "This is a very tight race tonight but Lauren, with that song, you may have just won.". You interpret this sentence. The same thing happened last season where Crystal gave a really stunning performances than Lee did but in the end, it was Lee who won the show.

I guess my words wouldn't change anything would it? So, if you read my blog Scotty (which I'll be extremely happy if he did even though I'm against his winning), I just wanna wish ya Good Luck and don't worry coz Lauren will outsell you in terms of records sale. Haha.

:: Who will be the next American Idol? ::

2011-05-25T23:07:00.000+08:00

Salam to all my readers.

The end is getting closer. Tomorrow, we will find out who is gonna walk away from the Nokia Theater Los Angeles as the new American Idol. Will it be Scotty McCreery or Lauren Alaina? Both are comfortable singing Country songs and they are the youngest top 2 ever in American Idol history.

~ Scotty McCreery and Lauren Alaina ~

On the first part of American Idol Finale, both Scotty and Lauren performed three songs, as you all already know. Scotty sang 'Gone', 'Check Yes or No' and his new original song, 'Love You This Big'. His contender, Lauren chose to sing 'Flat on the Floor', 'Maybe It Was Memphis' and a cover song from Kristy Lee Cook (previous American Idol finalist) entitled 'Like My Mother Does'.

I just told you guys the facts of the one-hour finale but the truth is, I think this is the dullest finale ever, right after Crystal and Lee duo last season. You see, both of them sing Country songs and I have nothing against the Country genre in fact there are some Country songs that I really like BUT this is different. I was kinda like saddled with six Country and Western songs that some of the songs was the songs that I never heard of. Thanks to Lauren for her ability to sing from her heart that made her last performance kinda brought tears to my eyes. It would probably be interesting if Haley is in the finale. At least we have two singers belt out two different genres.

But whatever it is, the finale has end and now it's up to the American to choose their next idol. If you ask me, hurmm, lets look at this chronology first. I wanted Pia to be in the top 2, but she got eliminated in top 9. Then, I put my trust in Haley and prayed so that she can make it to finale. Again, my dream was crushed. I am left with no choice but to choose Lauren to win because she got distinctive voice and she can sing high note pretty well.

So, lets wait for the result show to see whose name Ryan going to announce at the end of the show. They got so many singers going to perform on that night and damn, they neglected David Archuleta. I really hope they could call Archie to perform his latest single live. Damn it!

:: The twins attack! ::

2011-05-25T14:22:00.000+08:00

Salam to all my readers.

Ya know, I always like the idea of having a twins in my family. Seriously I do. Whenever I see twins I will go like, "This is a must-have item after I got married.". Haha. Twins are not like any ordinary people. Apart from the fact that they are twins, they tend to attract a lot of attention from the public, especially if the twins wear something similar and many eyes will fascinatingly rest on them.

I have heard stories, most of them inspiring, from the people who got a chance in life to raise twins and it is easy to assume that they had a true joy experiences in raising them. So, the question is, why is this twin people exist? From what I have learned in school, identical twins or known as monozygotic, form from a single fertilized egg and splits into two parts, resulting in the development of two embryos. Because of the two embryos come from a single egg/sperm fertilization, they have the same genetic origin. There is no authentic solid reason why the egg split into two, maybe it's a malfunction of the normal development process. To know more, go check your biology textbook.

If my wife pregnant and I have a 'choose' button whether you want identical twins or non-identical twins, I definitely go for identical twins. The number one reason why I want twins is because I want them to look alike. Non-identical twins is similar to any ordinary children, except for you will not be having children that share the same age. What's the point of wanting a twins if you don't want them to be identical right? I will buy them the same cloth, the same toys, damn, it's gonna be interesting! Hehehe.

~ Amanda and Michelle : the first ever twins made it to ANTM ~

~ Dylan and Cole Sprouse, who play Zack and Cody Martin in The Suite Life of Zack and Cody ~

Okay, I may like a twins-maniac here but don't get me wrong guys. I am not gonna hate my single-birth children just because my wish to have twins is not granted. I will love them equally. Haha. But hey, according to this article that I read, there is no established connection between genetics and monozygotic twinning. Scientists have not really found and confirmed clear cause for monozygotic twinning, which you already knew how it is occurred inside of the women's womb. All parents have a reasonably equal chance of getting identical twins. Now, that's a great news to hear! :P

p/s : may Allah push away all the complications if I were to get a twins babies. Hehe

:: ANTM All-Stars Cycle ::

2011-05-23T15:11:00.000+08:00

Salam to all my readers.

This is might be a not-so-latest- news to all die-hard fans of America's Next Top Model (ANTM) because recently, Tyra Banks had previewed the cast of ANTM All-Stars in a runway show in L.A. Yes, you heard it right. The next cycle of ANTM will be the All-Stars Edition. I'm sure you guys knew what 'all-stars' means right so I don't need to explain more about the term.

Apparently, Tyra had asked the girls whom she has chosen to be in this cycle while the ANTM Cycle 16 was still showing on national television. When I heard about Tyra making an all-stars cycle, me and my friend couldn't help but speculate which girl she would choose to do this all over again. I was like, 'No! She didn't!' after looking at the list. I can imagine how chaotic and tension the atmosphere in the house would be, simply because the lot is packed with lots of personalities SLASH bitchiness. Seriously, there are a lot of bitches coming back. Maybe its for drama purpose. Here is the list:

Shannon Stewart, Cycle 1
Camille McDonald, Cycle 2
Britanny Brower, Cycle 4
Lisa D'Amato, Cycle 5
Bre Scullark, Cycle 5
Bianca Golden, Cycle 9
Dominique Reighard, Cycle 10
Isis King, Cycle 11
Sheena Sakai, Cycle 11
Allison Harvard, Cycle 12
Laura Kirkpatrick, Cycle 13
Angelea Preston, Cycle 14
Kayla Ferrell, Cycle 15
Alexandria Everett, Cycle 16

~ the cast of ANTM All-Stars respectively ~

To be honest, I'm glad that Laura, Allison and Kayla made it here but as I thought the house would be 'safer' and more tranquil without Jade Cole coming back, the names like Angelea, Bianca, Dominique, Camille and Bre sure can cover for Jade effortlessly. I wonder how Alexandria will blend with all these bitches. Gosh, my ears already hurt thinking about all of them yelling for each other. After all, this what makes ANTM fiercer and interesting isn't? Damn, they're going to tear the house down.

:: America's Next Top Model Cycle 16 is... ::

2011-05-20T17:08:00.000+08:00

Salam to all my readers.

Perhaps you guys knew this already but I still want to announce it anyway. I am gladly announce that the winner of America's Next Top Model Cycle 16 is the fierce Brittani Kline! Yay!

~ Brittani's Cover Girl Ad ~

~ Molly's Cover Girl Ad ~

Now the winner has been revealed, who is the runner-up? It's non other than our own Molly O'Connell. If you guys look at their Cover Girl ads, you may think that Molly's is much more Cover Girl-like than Brittani's but, unfortunately, the finale deliberation of who's gonna be wearing the ANTM crown is not based on the Cover Girl ads solely. They were judged based on their finale runway walks and the previous works. The result out of the deliberation is Brittani crowned as the latest top model and also the latest 'baby girl' of IMG Model Management. During the finale runway show, they participated in a runway show for Vivienne Westwood latest collection.

~ Brittani's photos during the Marrakesh Love Story episode ~

~ Molly's photos during the Marrakesh Love Story episode ~

~ Molly and Brittani during the finale runway ~

To be honest, I wouldn't be upset if either of them wins, I mean, both these girls are really good and they were neck and neck at the finale. It just, maybe Brittani kinda outshone Molly during the finale runway walk so that could be the contribution factor of Brittani winning. This could be the best final 2 ever, well, after Danielle and Joanie of Cycle 6 of course. What a great cycle! Oh, forgot to tell ya. Our final 2 was spotted with a new makeover at the final panel and looking at the picture above, I think they work the new hairdo.

~ Final 2 at the panel ~

~ Final 2 facing the judges ~

~ The judges ~

That's it of ANTM Cycle 16. Now, the next cycle would be ANTM Cycle 17 or also known as ANTM: All-Stars Edition. It means that, the models who are robbed or who are not make it in the previous cycles will have another shot to be on top. They will start all over again, just like any other cycle but the only difference is, they already knew how this show work. The list of who's gonna be competing on this cycle is already leaked and I'm will be making a special entry about that one. So, gotta watch this space. Hehe.

:: I dreamed a dream ::

2011-05-15T22:15:00.000+08:00

Salam to all my readers.

Yesterday I asked my mom, can I be a model? No. That was what she said. And I asked her why. She said I am too big to be a model, which I kinda agree with the statement, and later she added, model don't wear glasses so, if I want to be a model, I need to wear contact lens or go to the hospital and get my eyes fixed. I was laughing hearing her opinions on me becoming a model.

I think in our life, I certainly believe that, we do have this kinda feeling. The feeling of becoming somebody that is not us and somebody that is far out of our reach. This is not ambition. Ambition is more like a strong desire to do or achieve something in life, but this is different. The feeling when you're watching TV and you see Celine Dion performing and getting big applause from the audience and suddenly you say, I wanna try to be like her for one day. This is the feeling that I'm talking about.

This maybe a lil bit embarrass to admit but okay, fine, I think wanna try to be a model for a day. Laugh your heart out if you want but it is really something that I feel like I wanna be if Allah granted me a chance to be somebody else, which by all means, is not gonna happen in real life. It's okay to dream, the last time I checked. I'm gonna put the blame of shows like America's Next Top Model (ANTM) coz for some reasons watching the show kinda influence me a bit, or maybe not a bit, but the thing is, it all started with the show.

There was also times when I sat on my comfy couch and imagined how fantastic it would be to see myself playing a role on the silver screen and to see my face handsomely on the poster of blockbuster movies. I wrote about this once, click here to read more on what type of movie I would like to be in if I was an actor. Haha. In real life, I am nobody. I want to feel the pride, the glory when people cheering at me and people calling out my name when I walk down the street. "Judiene!" "Judiene!". Boy, it turns me on! Haha. I successfully managed to make myself look pretty stupid and lame. LOL!

~ one of my favourite actor he is ~

Come on people, don't act like you never had a dream like this. Don't lie to me, or at least, don't lie to yourself. Feel free to share some of your dreams here. Put away all your shyness, I promise, it's only you and me. Hehe. Until next time guys, ciao!

:: Short forms in blogging is unacceptable ::

2011-05-14T17:36:00.000+08:00

Salam to all my readers.

Yessss! Finally we are back in business. I bet all bloggers are gonna update their new posts now. Haha. I wonder what is the new improvement blogspot did coz it looks like the same to me. Nothing new. Hurmm.

Okay, lets get straight to the main points. I've been doing lot of blogwalking this past few days since blogspot was outage and I have come across quite a number of blogs that prefer to use short form words rather that spell it in a full form. Lets take a look at an example of sentence below.

'ktrg dh abis exm. nh la pdhnya bla jd bdak stat, slalu jer jd pntp pntu pagar U. hbs je exm, apa lg blik trus kms2 brng..'

To the owner of the blog who I copied this sentence from, I'm truly sorry. I don't mean to embarrass you or to humiliate you. I kinda get really annoyed reading a blog that is written like the sentence above and I can't wait for the entry that I am reading to end. It's okay to use these short forms when texting messages through phone but I find it unacceptable when you're writing an essay or something similar to that, you know, like a letter or something.

You guys probably say 'ikut suka aku lah blog aku' but at the end of the day, you want your readers to feel comfortable while reading your entries and you don't want them to kinda like searching for the 'X' button 10 seconds after dropping by at your blog. It will not kill you or weary your fingers to spell the word in its full form. I suggest to every blogger who are using this method to write their entry to start spelling the words the way it is. Trust me, your entry will look nicer and tidier.

:: AF students can't sing English songs?? ::

2011-05-12T02:47:00.001+08:00

Salam to all my readers.

I am a big fan of reality TV singing competition. I watch shows like X-Factor (XF), American Idol (AI), One in a Million (OIAM), Mentor and Akademi Fantasia (AF). Whatever you say folks but these kinda shows really got me glued in front of the TV and there was a moment where I talked to myself and went like, "I think I was born to be in the industry, you know, whether as a singer, songwriter or producer." Hahaha. What a funny thought is that.

Okay, I'm not sitting in front of my lappy just to talk about my unaccomplished desire of becoming someone in a entertainment industry or fashion industry (wth!) but there is another topic worth to talk about. If you watch AF, regardless of any season, there will be a time when the students are gonna be tested with an English song. I notice something 'unhealthy' going on, I don't know if you guys did too. Majority of the students will be like kinda frustrated or scared whenever they get English song to be sang. Some of them will just cry or express their anxiety regarding the song. Have you ever notice that??

Well, in my opinion, there is no reason to be like that coz we've been taught English since we were in standard one and the song doesn't require them to give out a speech or to talk in front of the audience in English, they just need to sing the lyrics out in rhythm. Basically that is what they do right, singing. You don't necessarily have to be 100% grammatically perfect to sing an English song. The words are there, written on the paper and all they need to do is just practice the pronunciation that's all. They even have Puan Fatimah Abu Bakar to help them with that so, no point to be frustrated or go in front of the 'talking' camera and say that you don't like the song and etc. This kinda shit is really not acceptable.

~ I praise Farhan for her ability to sing English song perfecly ~

~ He sounded so bad when he sang in English during one of the concert in AF3 ~

This incident happen to every season of AF. Even I remember how scared Mawi was when he received an English song entitled 'Beautiful Maria'. I'm sure a lot of AF fans will go against me on this one but in order to become a versatile and a good singer, being able to sing in English is a must! Do not spit on me for telling you the truth. The students should be ready to uptake whatever songs that they are given, no matter what language it would be.

Last but not least, happy holidays guys! Ciao!

:: Seru & Fast Furious 5 ::

2011-05-09T22:00:00.001+08:00

Salam to all my readers.

A few days ago after me and my friends were done with the final exams, we went to Times Square the next day for a movie spree. We watched one Malay movie and one English movie entitled Seru and Fast Furious 5 respectively. At first I was reluctant to watch Seru since my first choice was Thor and been reading the reviews saying that the movie is great and stuff so, the eagerness to watch Thor was high. But then, majority of my friends wanted to watch Seru so, i just follow the crew. Thank God it was Wednesday so, the ticket didn't cost me much.

After watching it, all I could say is, Seru wouldn't let you down. The idea of the movie might resemble Spanish movie REC where a person is possessed by a spirit and cause chaos and the cinematography in the movie is 100% from the victims camera. They use shaky camerawork instead of using the camera ordinarily use in a film-making. If you have watched REC before then you know what I'm talking about. I give 4 stars out of 5, means that Seru had successfully startled me just like REC did. Shaarnaz Ahmad and Nisha Dirr who starred in the movie, acted effortlessly and for a moment there, I thought I was gonna believe that it was a real story. Kudos to them and the crew!

The next movie that I watched was Fast Furious 5 and man, it was superb! You guys definitely had watched the other series of Fast & Furious and know exactly what the story is all about so, I shall not re-telling you the story. We managed to catch this movie one day earlier than its scheduled screening time so we were like all giddy and excited. I am happen to be a fan of this movie franchise and I tell you what, none of the series fail to impress me. Everything that happen in the movie seem to give me and the audience that I sat with gasp, laughter and some of us even gave an applause when the movie end.

For the acting part, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson plays his part brilliantly. His role is not serious and not funny either. He sometimes uttered a line that gained the kinda rapturous response, even though the line should be said in a serious tone. Vin Diesel, Paul Walker and others, they all played their role as good as the previous series.

I suggest you guys to start your engine car, go to the cinema near you and catch both Seru and Fast Furious 5 coz these movies are worth every penny. This is only my point of view after watching them and if you guys wanna do the same, just drop your links so that I can give your blog a visit and read your reviews on these two. Happy watching! :D

:: X-Factor US 2011 ::

2011-05-09T14:51:00.000+08:00

Salam to all my readers.

For those who is a fan of reality television singing competition called X-Factor, one will probably know that the creator of the show, top producer Simon Cowell is launching the US version of the show. It is based on the UK version of the X-Factor, which was where Simon served as one of the judges until its 2010 series. It is revealed that Simon departure from American Idol is because he wants to bring the show to America.

The US version of X-Factor has already kicked off its first audition on May 8th 2011. I am happy because finally Simon will be cooperating with his former American Idol judge, Paula Abdul as the judges for the show. The other two judges are L.A. Reid, a record producer and Cheryl Cole. Now, the weird thing is, I wonder why Cheryl wanted to follow Simon's footsteps and leave her role as the judge of X-Factor UK. She suits well as the judges there, and I don't think Americans are going to love her. She speaks with an odd slang and people might misunderstand her. I rather see Nicole Scherzinger or Kara DioGuardi as the judge. Or any other singers in US. I do like Cheryl but in my opinion, Simon has made a mistake by taking Cheryl into the judging line.

~ Paula and Simon was a sweet pair on American Idol ~

~ L.A. Reid ~

~ Cheryl Cole while in X-Factor UK ~

I'm eager to see what this show will turn out to be as two British and two Americans will served as the judges and from there I think we can predict how they going to blend with each other. I hope Paula and Cheryl will be a good friend while judging coz the latter seemed to have a problem if the other female judge (reads Dannii Minogue) outshines her, in all kind of aspects so, it's gonna be interesting.

Whatever it is, there are four contestants left on American Idol 2011 after Jacob Lusk leaves the show last week. Who's gonna be the next American Idol? Stay tuned to find out. :)

:: The Royal Wedding - Prince William & Kate ::

2011-05-01T18:40:00.000+08:00

Salam to all my readers.

One of mt friend said I was preoccupied with the whole Kate & William's Wedding thingy but honestly, I just want to feel apart of this once in a lifetime event. It's a world event actually coz more than 2 millions people watched the wedding. Superb! I was away yesterday so didn't get the chance to watch the broadcast live but thanks to TLC Channel which still in its Kate-William-Wedding theme, I got to watch it today.

~ Price William and Kate as they are leaving the Westminster Abbey ~

All I can say it, the wedding was tremendous. It's a royal wedding of the Britain's heir of the throne and the most popular royal family in the world so, it's pretty much something you can expect, which is tremendous. With thousands of people waited along the way from The Buckingham Palace to the Westminster Abbey and some of them had waited as early as 6 am. Not to mention some who had camped at the site. Very supportive. I was eager to watch the performance part actually rather than the 'I Do' part coz from what I have heard, there were a list of celebrities and singers who going to perform there including my favourite Elton John. Sadly they were saving the part.

~ The crowd roaring excitedly in front of the palace ~

~ The couple is on their way to the Buckingham Palace ~

The broadcast that I watched on TLC was hosted by Amanda Byram and Clinton Kelly in London and Randy Fenoli in Times Square New York City. It was kinda funny because they talked more on the outfit wore by the guests and the royal families rather than they did on the wedding. But hey, that's what keeps us awake isn't it? There was a moment when Amanda said that it is like watching a Grammy's red carpet. All eyes were on the outfits.

Apart from the fashion, there was another moment waited by thousands of people who came and gathered in front of the Buckingham Palace - the royal kiss. Like the late Princess Diana who sealed the kiss on the balcony of the palace, Kate chose to do the same. The kiss was quick to be exact and if you look away or blink your eyes, you probably gonna miss it. All eyes were on Kate and Prince William as they emerged from the palace onto the balcony. It is said that the new Duke and Dutchess of Cambridge will set off to their private honeymoon location today.

~ Kate and Prince William seal their kiss on the balcony ~

Nine days before their impending nuptials, Prince William and Kate took a boat to his mother's final resting place. It is believed that Prince William want to keep his mother close to him during the ceremony and by giving Princess Diana's engagement ring to Kate, he said that this is the way he keeps her mother's memory alive. Long live the marriage.

Salam to all my readers.

Sorry for the long hiatus. Been busy with my final exams and had not have any ideas to update. But today is different. For this semester, I only need to sit for 3 papers for the final and two has passed urmm, not very nicely. I screwed up one paper and I believe that I am not gonna do well this semester. Well, since when I go out of the exam hall with a happy face. *sigh.

Okay, lets talk about something else, but seriously, I keep thinking I am going to f*il this paper today. God, I am so scared! The carry mark for the final is only 30% but the one that determine whether I am going to f*il or not is final practical exam, which went, urmm, quite bad too. Wait, I thought I told you guys to talk about something else. Pfftt!

Living in a place like Puncak Alam is really get on my nerves sometimes, especially during the weekend. It gets worst if you don't have any transportation to move around. Trust me, you do not want to live here alone. Anyway, in order to kill time, I keep myself busy watching shows like American Idol and America's Next Top Model (these two are my favourite) which is currently on their latest season. I watch them on YouTube. I love to see great singers perform and models walk the runway and pose for pictures, wearing a garment by well-known designers around the world. Seriously, there is nothing more fun than watching these shows.

~ American Idol 10 ~

My favourite for American Idol this season is Pia Toscano, Jacob Lusk and Stefano Langone but sadly Pia and Stefano had been eliminated due to lack of knowledge on 'how to choose a great performer' among the voters. It is obvious that Pia is going to win if she stays. Now I'm just hoping that Jacob can make it to top 2 or at least top 3. Oh, fyi, Pia has released her first single, entitled 'Don't Question Why', 2 days after her elimination. Do you see that people, composers are fighting over Pia. She's simply the best! =D

America's Next Top Model on the other hand, is airing its Cycle 16 now and my favourite among the bunch are Alexandria and Brittany. Although Alexandria acting like a b**ch at the beginning and towards the middle of the competition, she knows how to pose in front of the camera and act like a real model. She is not really see eye to eye with Brittany most of the time but they started to befriends with each other in the episode 7 if I'm not mistaken. So here it is, the summary for American Idol 10 and America's Next Top Model Cycle 16. Haha.

~ America's Next Top Model Cycle 16 ~

~ L-R, Alexandria and Brittany ~

Anyway, I am going back home tomorrow morning (yay me!) and I better get packed now. I hope to see a pile of durians the moment I step into the house coz I am craving for durians like so bad. Okay guys, until then. Ciao!

:: Justin Bieber's Concert ::

2011-04-23T15:46:00.000+08:00

Salam to all my readers.

Beliebers were going crazy since the last two days. Why? Do you know what 'Beliebers' are? A bunch of Justin Bieber's fans and they call themselves 'Beliebers'. Well, I don't know whether I'm one of the Beliebers or not but I'm not embarrass to come up front and say, 'I like Justin Bieber!!".

Hahaha. Ok, now you know my dark little secret. Some people say he can't really sing and looks like a girl. We can't argue on the looks part because that is what God had given him, an adorable face that can melt most of the teenagers' heart nowadays. Go blame God la instead of him. The singing part, hurmm, how should I say this. Okay, he may not possess a big and powerful voice, that is so obvious but he knows how to perform and how to produce great and interesting songs so, I think I have caught up in this phenomenon. Haha.

Okay, move on to the main point of this entry. Like you all know, JB had performed here in his concert live in Malaysia and this was why all the Beliebers were going crazy for the past two days. I'm not rich. Can't afford the ticket so, I just wait for any blogger who went to JB concert to make an entry out of the experience and upload the pictures they have taken. Note this, I am one of his fan, I didn't get the chance to go to his concert but I didn't talk bad about him or pretend not to like him. I read a status posted by my friend on her status saying that "Sape-sape yang pergi tengok konsert JB tu, sume tak semayang Maghrib dengan Isyak." Later on she posted this, "Apelah yang orang minat sangat nak tengok konsert JB tu. Bodoh!".

~ Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez ~

~ Sweet! ~

Firstly I want to say, I know how much she adores Justin Bieber and I know that she wants to go to his concert but I think she is being a plastic while writing the status. Come on, don't be fake. You like him but then you talk bad about the people who go to the concert just because you are so poor that you can't afford the ticket. If she was to go to the concert, I bet she wouldn't post that stupid shit. She was faking herself and that is something that I can't endure. Is it embarrass to admit that you missed out the concert and wish all the people there to have fun? Don't talk bad about the people, it's you who people should talk bad about because you being fake make people who go there like a bad guy. Urghh.

~ JB performing ~

My advice here. Don't be fake. That's all. Oh by the way, I hope Selena stays with him forever. I don't know, they look cute together. She is super cute and even though she's older than JB, doesn't that mean she cannot be his girlfriend. Hahaha. I sounded like a JB maniac fan here. LOL. Okay lah guys, until then. Ciao!

:: MELTECH 12th Anniversary Night ::

2011-04-03T19:29:00.000+08:00

Salam to all my readers.

Finally, it's over! Last weekend, 1st of April to be exact, was a memorable and unforgettable night for me. For the past 4 months, I have been waiting for this time to arrive. Maybe to other people, it just a simple and ordinary dinner but to me, as the director of the event, it indicates how good I am at organizing an event.

MELTECH annual dinner got several modifications regarding to its objective and purpose of organizing it. Usually, we have an annual dinner just to celebrate those who are in final year and to mark as the last event of a particular year. For this year annual dinner, I have decided to make it more meaningful so I changed the purpose of the event from annual dinner to celebrating the anniversary of MELTECH.

The event took place at Intekma Hotel & Resort, which is located somewhere in Section 2, Shah Alam. The theme, like I have said in a couple my previous entries, is Glam Night with Roses so people who came that night all put on a rose whether on their chests, or just make it looks like a bracelet or simply put it on top of your head. The event went, well, a lil bit late because of some mishaps here and there but looking from the face of the students and VIPs, I think they all enjoy the night, which give me quite a relief feeling. Even our dean said during his speech that he is amazed with the transformation we did on ourselves and went like, "Mase kat faculty, kamu semua nampak penuh 'kemakmalan' tapi malam ni, saya macam tak percaya bahawa kamu semua student saya,". Haha. See, who says student of health sciences don't know how to style?? :)

I wanna take this opportunity to address my gratefulness to Allah for giving me such an amazing journey and this experience is not something that you can get in class. It is not something that your teacher can teach you. I have gone through lot of difficulties in order to make this event a successful event and thanks to those who have been helping me, especially my team. You guys are my backbone and I'm so thankful to be working with wonderful and helpful people. If I be given a chance, I would love to do this all over again. It's so exciting!

I know you guys are eager to see what I'm wearing and what transformation we did on ourselves so, enjoys some of the pictures I include in this entry. I will be posting an entry full of pictures taken from the night so, stay tune for that ok. Until then, ciao!

:: Gunung Tok Wan ::

Salam to all my readers.

On the previous entry, I talked about how tiring and how suffering I was to climb the Gunung Tok Wan, and how I nearly give up from continuing my journey up to the peak. This second part of the journey, I'll be talking more about our journey down the mountain and how dangerous the journey was.

After spending sometime on the peak of Gunung Tok Wan, we decided it is time to go back before it's getting dark. We were quite regenerated so the way down the mountain was less tiring. The only challenge we encountered were when we climbed down the steep slope of Broga Hill and the weather was really extremely bad. It was hot and dry, as if the sun was on top of our head. The steep slope made it even harder to climb down.

~ finally, the peak of Gunung Tok Wan ~

~ the first team to arrive ~

We were all thirsty and tired and the only thing we knew was to reach the bottom as far as we could coz the heat was unbearable. So we faced all the hardness down the hill and as soon as my foot touched the ground, I was like, "I'm not coming here again." Well at least at this hour. So officially, we started off our journey at 10 or 10.30 am and finished at about 4 pm.

Now I can proudly say, I've made it to the peak of Gunung Tok Wan!!!!

Salam to all my readers.

Yesterday was so tiring! Really, I'm not gonna lie. Me and other 40++ students of MELTECH went to hike at Gunung Tok Wan, 3.1 km further than Sheik Muzaffar made famous, Broga Hill. I don't know the exact location of Gunung Tok Wan but if you can make it to the top of Broga Hill, surely you can see the signboard of Gunung Tok Wan.

This mountain I'm talking about, it's not an ordinary mountain. Well, at least for me. A week before this event, me and my buddies went hiking at a hill (I already forgot what's the name of that hill) at Kg. Donglai, Sg. Congkak and although it was slippery, muddy and stuff, there's nothing compare to my hiking moment at Gunung Tok Wan. Apart from the slippery thingy, this time, it challenged more of your inside. The way up to Broga Hill was challenging and quite dangerous I must say, regarding to its steep slope.

We started off our hiking at approximately 10.00am and the track before we reached the foothill of Broga was totally fine with me but the way up to Broga was quite challenging since I am fear of heights. The slope was so steep that I climbed up the hill without even looking down and I started to feel dizzy. My mind was telling me not to look down and fortunately I managed to get on the first hill. The moment I touched the ground of the peak, I feel like, "Thank God I'm still alive." It was a so nerve-wrecking experience.

We thought we have made it to the peak of Gunung Tok Wan but as soon as we realized that it was the peak of Broga Hill that we were standing on, all of us went like "What!!!!". It turns out that Gunung Tok Wan is 3.1 km further. We continue our journey and along the way to the peak, there were moments where I feel like giving up and turn back. The route was sooo long as if there was no ending. After about 2 hours, we finally reached the peak and wtf! The peak was nothing like what we have imagined. It was dirty and there was no beautiful scenery that we could see.

I think this is all for part 1. Stay tune for more actions and dramas. Until then, ciao!

:: Glam Night with Roses ::

Salam to all my readers.

I am two weeks away from my big night. It is the night where all students of Medical Lab Technology gather under one roof and getting to know each other, have fun and put aside their worry about test or assignments which are await to be finished. It is the night which I call as 'Malam Anniversary MELTECH 2011'.

As the program director for this big event, I have got so many things to settle within this short two weeks. This blog might be abandoned again for quite sometimes, until everything is done.

For the past a couple of weeks, I have been thinking of what theme I'm gonna do for this year. I have come out with Fairy Tales theme, Masquerade theme and a theme that my friend suggested, Back To School. When I first expressed my thoughts that I wanna do the Fairy Tales theme, most of the students, especially guys were taken aback and insisted me to choose another theme. After some deliberations and suggestion, I have chosen 'Glam Night with Roses' as the theme for this year dinner.

~ the poster ~

I know, I know, you guys probably scream and be like 'What the hell with the theme' or 'What's with the roses' but seriously guys, I think this is the most suitable theme as you can wear anything you want as long as it looks glam and not like you are going to class or something. And of course you have to pin a rose flower on your clothes. It's as simple as that. It is hard to please everyone in the course so if there is people who feel like this theme is lame or against to what I have picked for, you are welcome to express your thoughts and critics.

I would like to end my entry here but before that, to all bloggers, if you have any idea on how to make a dinner more lively and to keep it off the track of the ordinary dinner event, do type it in the comment box below. I'm new to this sort of thing so really need your support and ideas. Thanks for sharing. Until then, ciao!
