| I had my interview with Malacca-Manipal College today. It went with a breeze. 5 persons per group for the interview, and all we had to do was to talk about ourselves for 1 minute. It is only the second time MMMC actually held interview for their future students, and it is nothing more than just a formality. There is "pass" or "fail" for the interview. Everything would depend on our A-Level results. With JPA, it must be above 12 points (at least 3 B's). I am really tired now. We left for Malacca at 8 a.m., ate our lunch at Mahkota Parade at 12 p.m., and the interview started at about 2 p.m., with me being in the fourth group. We reached INTEC at about 7.10 pm., I think. I've got nothing to write for now, but I'll leave you guys with this excerpt from my friend's entry on her blog, regarding the talk by Yvonne Ridley she attended last Sunday at UIA: after the talk there was a Q&A session...a man got up and asked 'How can we as normal citizen of the world, contribute to the cause of the world. We have no power. We have no control in the government. So, what can we do??' I thought this was a very good question..its sumthing that everyone thinks about but never thought to ask..true or not? this is her brilliant answer: she said, " The people, the rakyat, is like a lion. The government or megapowers of the world is like a 'lion tamer'. Imagine, u are a member of the audience. U are watching the lion tamer make the lion do tricks at the circus. Once in awhile the lion tamers whips his huge whip at the lion to control it. U know the even though the lion tamer has the whip, the lion can suddenly attack the tamer at any time. And the lion will definitely be stronger and can kill the tamer easily. You know this. Everyone in the audience knows this. Even the lion tamer himself knows this. Except the lion... And.. until the lion can realise this, he will always be under the control of the tamer. "

| I'm still in my exams.. 6 more papers and 5 days of BTN camp to go, and insha-Allah, I'll come up with a proper entry. Although I am contemplating if I should move to Blogspot. Problem is, I still haven't figured out how to control and modify my layouts, music, sidebars, etc. And at the same time, I'm contemplating if I should continue blogging. I always felt so inferior reading others' entries. So superbly done. Good English, good pictures, good ideas and flow of ideas, and a positive outcome. I don't know if my entries had the same impact. My entries are somewhat lack of something. I don't even know what it is. Perhaps a good story. In the meantime, I'm studying for my next papers - Biology Unit 4, 5 and synoptic paper, as well as Chemistry Unit 4, 5 and synoptic paper. I watch the World Cup. I'm a bit disappointed with England's performance even though they won their last two games, the first was because of an own goal. The game against Trinidad & Tobago only took off properly when Rooney was in the game. Crouch made me (and my siblings) hate him over failing on so many promising chances... well, until he headed in that first goal. Perhaps he need some anger from us before getting that ball in. Haha, who knows. As much as I dislike Chelsea (especially Jose Marinho), I have to admit I admire John Terry for his sportsmanship. He's a really good captain. And I like him more when he saved the day by kicking out the ball which was only an inch or two away from England's goal. I find it funny how me and my siblings can say so many bad things about Frank Lampard and Joe Cole when we watch the EPL games but cheered them on rentlessly when it comes to World Cup. The "acting skills" of Joe Cole, which was our constant dislike, suddenly becomes a good thing in the World Cup. Haha. Oh, and for anime fans... I have uploaded the song "Therru no Uta" by Teshima Aoi.. It's the theme song for the upcoming Studio Ghibli movie, Gedo Senki. I love the song very much with its deep lyrics, simple melody and beautiful voice. Here is the link to download it: http://www.sendspace.com/file/wp143f I'm signing off for now!

| This is the lyrics of the background song. The romaji (romanized Japanese words) and translations are mine, so they might be a bit inaccurate. WALK ON by Orange Range 夢の続き yume no tsudzuki それってきっと笑うため… sorette kitto warau tame 人は傷ついてもまた歩くんだね… hito wa kizutsuite mo mata aru kun da ne 信じる道行く shinjiru michiyuku すればその旅で必ず sureba sono tabi de kanarazu そばにある変わらぬ soba ni aru kawaranu 愛(たから)を知る takara wo shiru 長く続く nagaku tsuzuku 道の上で michi no ue de 目一杯 力強く歩こう Wo me ippai chikara tsuyoku aru kou WO.. (サビ)I wish lala 君が笑えば i wish lala kimi ga waraeba 世界中がみんなHappyなんだ sekai chuu ga minna happy nanda i wish lala say hello to what's waiting lalalalalalala... cross road lalalala.. (3X) cross road... 振り向けば辛い 苦い furi mukeba karai nigai モノクロ世界のようだ でも monokuro sekai no youda demo 歩き出したその時から arukidashita sono toki kara 変わっていくんだ 過去の画が kawatte ikunda kako no e ga 気付けばほら またひとつ kitzukeba hora mata hitotsu 僕だけの色がある boku dake no iro ga aru それだけで sore dake de それだけで sore dake de (サビ)I wish lala 君が笑えば i wish lala kimi ga waraeba 世界中がみんなHappyなんだ sekai chuu ga minna happy nanda i wish lala say hello to what's waiting lalalalalalala... cross road lalalala.. (3X) cross road... TRANSLATION: You smile at continuity of a dream People get hurt too, but they walk on later Trust yourself, walk down the road Try that journey, certainly I'm constantly beside you Treasure that understanding Long, continuing pathway ahead With utmost strength, strongly walk this way, WO I wish lala if you smile Throughout the world, everyone will be happy I wish lala say hello to what's waiting lalalalalalala... cross road lalalala.. (3X) cross road... Pretense to face harsh, bitter, a kind of monochrome world but From that time stop walking I want to change the picture of the past My encouragement: look! later there is only one There is only my colour Only that Only that I wish lala if you smile Throughout the world, everyone will be happy I wish lala say hello to what's waiting lalalalalalala...

| In a previous entry, I wrote that one of my abilities is to be able to smile even when I am angry. It's not something that I put on, or something that I pretend to do. I just automatically do it. Perhaps my brain has this 'smiling-centre-even-when-you're-annoyed' up somewhere in my hypothalamus or something. However, I'm beginning to question if it is a good thing or vice versa. When I get hurt or angry with some people around me, I barely show it. I put up a brave front, a smiling face and treat them like I normally do, despite my hurt and anger. I would try to the best extent to put whatever that the person had done to me behind me, to erase it forever from my memories. Somehow, some time or another, it failed to work. It is worse that I can't show how hurt I am over the person's actions, because the person may never know it. I don't want the person to know, but at the same time it's killing me because I'm trying so hard. So is it an advantage... or should I learn to speak up my feelings over something? I do not know. I believe that if you don't want people to do bad things to you, then you must avoid doing them to others. If you don't want people to assume bad things about you, then you don't assume bad things about other people. If you don't want people to make rumors about you, then do not go ahead and do rumors about other people. I believe there is always another side to a story. We must always be just and fair, to analyze both sides before making any conclusion about what is right or what is wrong. Sometimes we let our assumptions be the answers without seeking them without prejudice. And that may have ruptured our chances of wonderful friendships with so many people around us. I always don't get this mindset that people have: they did it to us, so let us do it to others. A good example is when we talk about senior-junior relationships. I find that most seniors bully juniors because... well, they were bullied back then. You know the drill... wash our plates for us, don't go against us and the likes. But if we keep this mindset throughout the generation, then the senior-junior relationship would never be good. We must act as the agent of change. Don't submit ourselves to this oppressive system. Change it for the better. I saw how my friends struggled to make our seniors appreciate their effort to hold their grand dinner last year. It drained them out of their energy and time. To my dismay, many people refused to come to our grand dinner, which are held by our juniors. I've been in their seats. I know what it's like. At least show a little bit of support and appreciation for their effort. Be the agent of change. I've already sat for three papers.. well, it's going okay, not so great or so bad. But as my mom have always said, what's done is done. I did my best. Worrying endlessly is not going to change anything, unless Edexcel gives extra pity marks for the worriesome lot. Like that's going to happen :) So, I'm putting W1, Paper 3A and W2 at the back of my mind.. Paper 6A... here I come! I know this entry sounds so random... but it's nice to be random once in a while :) Currently Reading Wahai Ibu! Wahai Ayah! By Hafiz Firdaus Abdullah | |
