Ballet

I have a presentation tomorrow and I just finished preparing for it. I chose Ballet for my topic this time. I figured it'll be great and easy since I have all the certificates and trophies for materials to bring, so I can get extra marks. But I was wrong. Of course, how could I forget that Ballet isn't all about dancing. I have to study about the history, the origins and even their costumes evolution from the 1400s! Not that I'm complaining.


I just learnt that Ballet came from Italy, not UK. I thought UK was the one who invented the idea of ballet because my former ballet academy came from the UK. In fact, UK wasn't even the second country to have ballet. It was France and Russia came in at third. UK came only after Russia. How embarrassing. And I thought my academy was the number one in the world!

I'm planning to bring this certificate along (with my name on it, of course) just so the examiner will give me extra marks for bringing extra materials and I'm hoping she/he will believe I'm a professional ballerina(which I am not -__-).

Things and photos like these really make me miss my ballet days... But no procrastinating please! I don't have time for that. Need to rock this final presentation and I'll be done with this course! Wish me luck, you guys!!

Gymnastics

I grew up taking up ballet classes and ballet was my life. I loved ballet because my coach loved me. Nahh, I loved ballet because I just love to dance and be all graceful. But the part where my coach loved me is one of the reasons too :p Up until today, I regret quitting. I shouldn't, I know. I made a decision without thinking and I was 12, I didn't know better. My room was full with ballet stuffs. From mattresses, to curtains, to pillows. All were ballet-concept.

I went to SJK(C) Serdang Baru (2) to accompany Mom today for a gymnastic competition. Mom's a teacher, so her task was to bring a student to compete. I have to admit, I miss ballet so much. Watching them point their toes, how they straighten their necks when they walk.. I even thought of taking ballet again! But I know that's impossible because ballet is something you have to start when you were little. So you can get use to the movements and your bones will soften while you were young. There are a lot of differences between ballet and gymnastics but I can't help but to reminisce on the good old days where I have to go to class every Saturday with my body suit, black flair skirt and soft pink ballet flats with a tight bun on top of my head. Those were good memories. I enjoyed it so much that I passed my exams with flying colours! I still remember the last exam I did, I achieved an Honours which was like scoring 10A's in your SPM in ballet world. I was so happy that I turned out to quit the whole thing after that. Doesn't make any sense, isn't? Back then, ballet was not something that is acceptable by the public. Only certain people understands ballet but I was stupid to listen to all the bad things people say when they saw me performed on the school's stage. I did Beauty & Beast which I thought was so nice, Mom choreographed the whole thing and I wore my rainbow tutu. I felt so pretty and graceful but most of the people in school was too retarded to accept my performance. They said ballet is stupid. I was furious but I was a little kid! I would jump from the third floor if someone says that will make me smarter. So I quitted :(

The girls were so cute with the ribbon and everything. And my favourite part was of course, their gorgeous dresses! With all those glitters and the colours were so bright! There were 12 girls competing and only one little girl caught my eyes!!

Her name was Izzah. Mom and I were so obsess with her throughout the competition that we even talked to her Dad. She started ballet at 4 and proceeded with gymnast after. When the results came out, Izzah achieved three golds, technically won the whole competition. She won first place!! Zahir fetched Mom and I up after congratulating Izzah and her Dad.

We had lunch at Serai at Empire. it was our first time and the food was okay. Their Pavlola looked really good, too bad I was too full from eating my Thai fried rice that I couldn't eat desserts. Will make self note to try their Pavlova next time. When we arrived home, Mom and I were like zombies. Okay, fine, mostly me. I was tired and sleepy but the whole day was a good experience. Plus, I got to spend my time with Mom. It's been so long since I've been busy with college. So it was all worth it :)

My School Rocks

I'm down with a fever due to my packed weekend. I woke up as early as 4 in the morning both days to go to PICC in Putrajaya, spent the day there till 5 in the evening. Disney Channel's My School Rocks was amazing, I have to admit. I had lots of fun and that was the first time I heard the name Farish too. He was the host for both days and I noticed he has the looks and don't let me start on his eyes. When I got up on stage, he was like a few inches from me, I stared and yes, he was even more stunning close up. He has the most beautiful eyes! I think I'm in love :) I don't care if he's 26 and I'm 19. People always said age doesn't matter, that it's just a number. I agree with that now. I later found out he's an actor. I thought he was just a regular guy, doing a part time job to host an event. Mainly because he acted like he's a normal guy, being friendly to people and everything. I'm still so jealous of Qistina because when we all went up the stage for winning the Best Cheer leading Team, she went to Farish and said, 'can I hug you?' and he hugged her when she said 'I love you!' to him. So cute!

A thousand splendid suns

Orientation was a mess. Well, duh. I know it'll be that bad and that was why I dreaded that particular week. I guess I should start on Saturday, July 3rd. I know that sounds like a decade ago but that was when I started my engine for the future. And of course, because July 3rd was Zahir's birthday. Mommy and I had been planning a couple of months earlier, to throw a surprise party for him but I couldn't write anything about it here since I know he's my number one stalker. He might have sense something even before I type anything. Har. I woke up early that Saturday because I had to go to Nina's school to lend a hand as USJ4 was having some kind of a carnival and her class had a booth to sell candies, marshmallows and everything that's pink. Or purple. Haha. Mommy called me by lunch hour to confirm that everything was ready at home and I could bring Zahir home. I don't know how to describe that day but it was definitely the highlight of my year. As soon as we arrived home, we all sprayed and smothered him with strings and foams near the water fall at my house. Afterwards, the guys lifted Zahir up and literally threw him into the pool. Water splashed everywhere and I know Zahir was worried that he won't have any clothes to wear later on but by the smile on his face, I know he didn't want to care about that. He just wanted to enjoy his birthday and no one's stopping him. Mommy and I were more than happy to see him enjoying his first surprise party. The look on his face when he found out we had party packs to give to everyone, that we had plenty of games to play, that we hid his present in a big box and that we planned all these for him, was just priceless. I wish I could stop the time and capture that moment and that look on his face, just so the happiness I saw in him won't fade. I'm glad he enjoyed his birthday to the fullest :)

The next day was the day I've been dreading. I started packing that morning and this time, I didn't pack too many clothes. Just sport attires that were worth for a week, 2 pillows, toiletries and 2 pair of shoes. Just for the orientation. I was really grumpy when the sun on Sunday decided to show up. Luckily, Zahir tagged along so my mood went better. As soon as I arrived, I searched for Siti and Nikki since we planned to register together and hopefully to get us all in the same room. But of course, it wasn't our lucky day, we were all assigned to different rooms with strangers. Fortunately, our rooms are all on the same floor. The days were a massive burden on my shoulders since we got to turn in late for the night but had to wake up so early the next morning, we had to walk around the campus carrying the backpack they gave us and we had to even bring our umbrellas everywhere we go. Yes, even if all we had to do was sit and listen to a career talk or something. I don't see the need to bring an umbrella to a career talk but who am I kidding? It's orientation for a University, not some posh private college or something. They asked us to do weird stuffs, they asked us to do that and this and they screamed at us every night just so we'll be ready and to toughen us up so we'll survive by our own. I really hated the orientation to the extend that I was thinking of sneaking out of it but by the support of Zahir's and Mommy's texts, I sucked it up and just lived with it. I pushed myself to bare with the filthy bathrooms and all the walks. By the third day, I was actually having fun. I made new friends and some of them are from Iran, Arab Saudi, Singapore, Indonesia, Thailand and China. I was actually looking forward for the events day by day. Let me tell you, the last night of the orientation was definitely the greatest ever. I had so much fun that night. My night turned even better when I saw Zahir waiting for me by his car to bring me home. We stopped at McDonald's in Taipan for supper and as soon as I finished my Chicken McDeluxe, I dozed off.

And so I can now call myself a degree student. I started class this week and well, it's just the first week. I think we all know what happens on the first week. Every class was just a brief about what we will be learning and stuffs. My Accounts' class hasn't start yet though since the lecturer cancelled our class this week. My schedule looks a lot more relaxing than the one I had last year. So, more time to blog then. I hope. I performed for the Archinight again this year. It wasn't as fun as it was last year but it was okay.

When we look into each other's eyes

Friday and Saturday were definitely the highlights of my week. The girls were here on Friday and we rent the dance studio by the pool for a couple of hours. We had so much fun dancing and the girls looked like they ate 134 packets of sugar. They couldn't stop running around, shouting, singing and everything. Though it sounds like annoying but to me, that what makes them adorable. In the midst of dancing, I saw Zahir at the studio's door. I was all happy then and waved for him to come in. He watched us dance until we finished. The girls were so excited to swim that they pulled me by the hands to the pool. They changed into their swimsuits while Zahir and I went up to change too. We had even more fun swimming and Mommy joined us too. When the clock hit 1920, we went up, showered and got ready for dinner. We all went down to the bistro by the pool. We dug in our meals as soon as they arrived. Simply because we were famish. The girls finished their dinner in a blink of an eye, I guess they were so hungry since they dance and swam earlier. After eating, they all went running to the playground, leaving Zahir and I at the table with Mommy and one of the girls' Mom at the table beside us. Zahir and I talked for a while until I decided to join them at the playground along with Nina and Ipan. We went a few rounds on the swing when it was time to say goodbye.

So yesterday was SKSS's Walkathon. I had to wake up early in the morning and got ready for the day. Mommy drove to Zahir's to fetch him since he was joining us. After an exhausting morning, we went to lunch at Murni. Everyone was practically drown in their food. Har, we went back after, bringing Zahir along. All of us fell asleep in the living room until almost 2100. Yes, all of us. Mommy, Daddy, Ipan, Zahir, Izer(my neighbour/a family friend) and I. Nina slept too but she was in her room. At night, I was waken up by Zahir, saying he needed to go back since his Mom asked him to buy dinner. Luckily, Daddy and Mommy wanted to go to Taipan to buy cat's food. After Taipan, we sent Zahir home. Though all we did was attending a walkathon, had lunch and slept the whole day, but I still had fun as Zahir was with me all the time.

Daddy was in Sabah on June 20th which was Father's Day. Hence we didn't have the chance to give him any presents on that day. So last night, my siblings and I made an album for him together. He was sleeping when we tip toed into his room. He was surprised when he saw all all of standing by his bed. Though his eyes barely opened, he still managed a smile that I know was sincere. We all literally smothered him with kisses all on his face before going to bed. I just love my family :)

Dance dance

The girls are coming to my house later this afternoon. We're going to try and rent the dance studio at the pool to practice. The reason we changed our venue to my house instead of the school hall is because of that old virgin. You know, the LEE BITCH, according to Mommy. Yeah, we figured why should we see her ugly face again in that school? I might die if I see her face again, no kidding. The girls were so excited to come to my house and I think it's better for us since we're going to practice in a proper dance studio now. Zahir's coming over to hang with us and watch us dance too.

I'm about to finish Dear John, I'm at the part where John left Savannah and Tim's house. It was so sad that I had to like, stop reading for a while to dwell on my tears. Seriously. Savannah is so stupid, I wouldn't leave someone like John in the first place even if it means to wait for him for a year or two. I wouldn't mind because that's what love is about: Sacrifices.

Time to doze off!

I am really frigging tired and kind of sleepy. But when I thought I shouldnt sleep during day time, the rain had to pour down harshly. Now with the breeze and the sound of rain, I might doze off in a while.

I woke up today with sores all over my body. We had dance practice last night and we plan to do a whole new dance with stunts and all. So I had to learn how to do cartwheels and tumbling. I know Im so lame that I couldnt do it in the first place, but atleast I got it now. My ass and legs still hurt. But I dont mind. I like doing stunts and everything :) Spent an hour talking or should I say, mumbling in the phone with Zahir before sleeping. I cant remember what we talked about as I was too sleepy to even say a word. Classes today were hard. And in the evening, had to stay back in faculty after Construction to finish up our final project with my group. Will be heading down after prayer at around 8 tonight for another dance practice. Lets hope it'll be more fun and productive. Zahir is out playing futsal and Im so sleepy. Ahhhhhh -___-

Of strains and aches

Just finished dance practice. We spent like, an hour to wait for Hazim as he was in an accident. And I was feeling so freaking tired and exhausted throughout the whole dance. Hazim just thought us a new dance, My Love. I was pretty excited about it but I wasnt just now. I was too tired to even care if I did the steps right. But just to be nice to Hazim, as he had always been nice to all of us, I tried my best to keep a smile on my face. The dance practically continued until midnight. And boy, wasnt I knackered! I went up to the room alone as Ika was going somewhere with Betik after the dance and Noor, like usual. Back at home every chance she got. I showered alone, trying to be done as fast as I can.

Oh, seeing I was too tired to think or even focus on something, when I was dancing at Gazebo, I saw lover everywhere. Seriously, like everywhere. Guess I was very very tired or maybe I miss him too much. I dont know. After showering, I had to wait for lover as he was playing futsal with his group of friends. Though my body was so tempted to the bed and my eyes were about to give up, I forced myself to stay awake for lover. Because I dont want him to get mad when he knows I didnt wait for him or something. He called and all I hear was his friends' voices, screaming here and there. Gave me serious headache, I kid you not. Everything is getting on my last nerve when Im this tired. Sigh. I'll have to sleep it off, I guess. But wait, I'll have to wait for him, still. Okay, Im waiting now

Tomorrow

So, Im not going back to college tonight as Hazim cancelled our dance. So, I have to do my tutorial in rush tomorrow. Awish just went back. And Im missing him already. Talking about miss, I miss lover so bad. I havent really spend a day without him. I didnt get to see him today. Explains the withdrawals Im having. I need you, boyfriend. Sigh. I produced sweat today! Which is a total good news as I was eating like mad these past days. I learnt the steps I watched on Youtube. And boy, wasnt it hard! But it was all worth it when I finally got the steps. Not as sharp as the dancers but Im still trying. Still not in the mood to blog. That explains all the short posts I posted these past few days. Sorry! I'll post a long one when Im in the mood okay.

Moment of Truth

I was lazing around with Noor in my room at college when Ika called saying our results were out. I didnt want to go because I was too scared. I knew my result would be so bad that I would cry. So Noor and I slipped into our baju kurung(s) and headed to the old lecturers' building. When Dr. Zahara handed me my slip, I felt like my heart is about to burst out from my chest. I survived the almost heart attack and teared up the ends of my slip to open it. First thing I saw was of course, like I expected, I flunked both my math and physics+chemistry. But I did get an A- for my environmental studies which was a shocker as I didnt expect it due to my break down about my grandma on that particular day. However, I was shocked, so shocked that I even thought I might have been swallowed by the ground when I saw my Microeconomics is B+. I did so well that I expected an A- at least. Sigh. What more when I saw my CGPA which was awful. Despite that, I didnt cry. Because to be frank, I was half disappointed but a part of me was relieved as I did better than my midterm. But still. After taking our results, we returned to our room and wasted the remaining time in our room, lazing around. At 1500, we got ready as we had this talk I said earlier. It wasnt even that important, and it ended earlier that it supposed to be. Right after class, I asked Zahir to come and fetch me up. I went to Dewan Gemilang after that and met up with Isabella for the modern indian dance. Im joining and good news!Noor might too. Lets just hope she'll join :) Lover arrived later and Noor and I were rushing. Lover brought me to dinner at Dominos just now. I ate alot! And now Im happy. But dont remind me of that little slip of mine that I kept safely in my bag. Ugh

Running nose

To add a cherry to the cupcake, not just the fact that I didnt get into design group had making me grumpy since the last 24hours. This nose had been a pain in the ass too, I tell you. Feel like taking a knife and cut it off my face. Its so irritating. I cant even breathe while I sleep. Ugh. I went to sleep last night breathing through my mouth which is so not comfortable. I woke up today by the vibration of my red LG under my pillow. Thought it was lover, I quickly ran my hands under my pillow searching for the phone. It was actually mommy calling and asked me to cook Cabonara for breakfast. After hanging up, I straight away call lover to wake him up. After hanging up, I woke Nina up and asked hr whether she's still up for the McDonald's invite. You see, last night when I got home from college, Nina asked me to go to McDonald's for supper. But I wasnt in the mood to eat, so I said no.But today, I feel like eating. Im not really famish, but hungry, definitely. I didnt eat dinner last night. So, fillet o fish, here I come.

I received a text from one of the dancers in my college, but not in my group. Isabella asked me whether Im interested in a modern Indian dance to perform. I told her Im not sure, feeling guilty to let her down without thinking about it. So I think Im going to consider it. We practised our new dance last night and it was awe-freaking-some, I kid you not. Its one of the MJ song, and the dance moves are so fast that you can see how awesome it is when we all do it in synchronization. I cant wait for the performance, its going to be insane!

Lets shake it

Ika came over on Sunday and she slept over my house for a couple of days and it was hella fun ! I did my hair on Sunday and we met up at the salon. And went to shop later on. I managed to get a low price Forever21 top and its so irresistible that Ika bought the same top too. We bought the same baju kurung for Uni too. After aching our legs, we went to Uncle John's for dinner and went straight home. Ika and I spent our night with laughter, pillow talk, dvds, supper until 6 in the morning and we decided that we were tired. We woke up at 1330 the next afternoon and got up to get ready for our next shopping spree. Nahh, it wasnt a shopping spree, but it was fun too. We went to Mydin to shop for groceries for Uni and managed to get alot of things for our room since we are room mates in Uni. Before the shopping began, we went to KFC to eat and hell, we ate like we havent eaten for a month ! After bloating our already bloated stomachs, we went in Mydin. We bought a red rug, a couple of red bed sheets, and everything for our room. We spent almost RM300 but we were satisfied and left with a big smile on our faces. We waited for Abang at Mydin's food court that night and went home. Ika was supposed to go home that night but her dad said she can stay another night. We didnt want to miss the chance, so she spent another night here. We slept earlier than the day before but that was because we have to tail mommy to her school the next morning.

We woke up on Tuesday morning at 6. With our eyes closed, we dragged ourselves to the toilet to shower. After putting on our sweatpants, we went to SKSS. We ate breakfast at the SKKS's canteen and went straight to the pre school building. The reason we went to the school is to train the little kids dance. A traditional dance to be specific. Ika and I had a lot of fun with the cute little kids, seriously. They were all so clever and know how to talk like an adult. At 12 in the afternoon, Ika and I went up to mommy's library to wait for mommy. Ika found a congkak and asked me to play with her. But I lost ! Haha. We then took the cushions on the sofa and lay them down and we slept. Mommy woke us at around 1430 and we went to Taipan for lunch. McDonald's was our choice. Arrived home, I rushed to the toilet and showered. And got ready to meet up with Zhr. Ika was left at home with Mommy and Ipan and they were watching a dvd together when I was on my way out. I kissed Ika, mommy and Ipan good bye and went down to see Zahir.

Funny thing,

Its been a really long time. I was really busy this past couple of weeks with those piling up assignments, tutorials and dance. So I had no time to even press the ON button on my laptop. So many things happened but of course, I wont be typing it all here because I doubt I can type THAT long. But anyway, funny thing just happened. Since its been a long time I didnt blog, I forgot my password and spent almost an hour to track my password back down which fortunately I remembered out of the sudden. Of course, my palm automatically moved to smack myself on the forehead. Oh well, today is Saturday and Im home for a week as my mid semester break is finally here ! Well, well, dont get too excited. Despite the one week holiday, I have to finish off my assignments and tutorials. And not to mention, I have alot of studying to do since my mid sem exams are running towards me with full speed. I'm scared, no doubt about that since I have zero knowledge in Trig and Chemistry. I have to find someone to help me, ASAP ! So, enough with the studies and assignments. Today, I went out with the parents and all I can say is, today is another productive day. Its been awhile I didnt feel so productive but after getting those dresses and shoes, I feel so.. satisfied. I havent been shopping for so long and I missed the smell of new clothes.

Last Sunday was my Uni's Senior Junior Interaction Week closing night and the seniors asked us to perform the exact same dance we did at Faculty the other night. So we did, and this time, it was even better as the lightings were awesome and the sound system can really make you stand on your feet and shake your bootaayy. But some people, just dont get it and have the nerve to talk trash about our dance being so sexy and seductive. You should know by now how their appearances are. But hey, who cares ? If they dont like it, then why did they continued watching us on stage ? Ironic, isnt it ? Well, the audience who like our dancing screamed even louder when we started to dance to MJ's Billy Jean. I was so happy that our dance went so well that I think I slept with my lips pulled up to my ears :)

Its been ages

Well, I've been so lazy to update a new post. No, I have not been busy with Uni or whatsoever. Its just the laziness took over me. So I went to University of Malaya on 25th of May to register. The first couple of days were terrible ! I couldn't adapt with the atmosphere. Not to mention, my room. I was assigned in a room on the 7th floor which coincidentally, is my favourite number. Haha. The first time I stepped in the room, my face straight away cringed. Not only it was stuffy and dusty, my first impression on room mate was that she's a weirdo. I forced/dragged myself in, settling my stuffs and making a friendly face to my new room mate. Sigh.

But then, on the third day, I started to make friends with a lot of people. And I found my circle of friends who I can totally blend in. So there are Noor, Ika and Deenda. They were the most normal girls there. Haha. Oh and my room mate turned out not that bad after all. So thats why they said dont judge a book by its cover. Elin, my room mate is normal actually. Not a weirdo at all. Thank God :] One week passed by so swiftly. I was so occupied the first week as it was Orientation Week. I was selected to perform on the Performance Night on Friday. I had to dance a traditional dance, Zapin. Alot happened actually but I dont really have the mood to jot down every single detail. Like how I was highly annoyed with this girl who was selected to dance with my group. Second week arrived and we received our schedule. Which turned out to be not pack at all. I thought we would be so busy when the classes start but I was wrong. And Im glad that I was wrong. We only have like, a few classes to attend. Despite the already few classes, the classes were always cancelled due to the lecturers' decision to not show up. So this week, all I did was having fun. Went back home after class on Monday. Went back to UM on Tuesday night. Went to 2hours class on Wednesday morning. My friends went out that afternoon with their boyfriends. So I called Zhr and asked him to come. Lucky me that I owned the nicest boyfriend on earth, he came later on. We went to Times Square, dont ask why. Watched Terminator for about half an hour and fell asleep in the cinema. It was so boring ! Zhr sent me back to UM at 2300. The next morning, Zhr came again. We went to KLCC and watched Hannah Montana. This time I was wide awake because I really enjoyed the movie. Though it was just another Disney's typical movie, but I loved it. Asked Zhr to drive me back home because I was missing Mommy so much. He being his good boyfriend self, drove me to my house and the whole house screamed when I stepped inside. They were surprised that I came back. Haha. Zhr sent me back to UM at around 2300. The next morning, which was today, Friday morning, we were supposed to have class at 9. So my friends and I walked to class together and the whole class waited for like, an hour or so. Finally we were informed that today's class was cancelled. So us girls walked back to the cafeteria and had breakfast. I called Mommy to informed her that the class was cancelled. So mommy asked me to get ready because she was coming to pick me up later. So thats about it I guess. Oh one more thing, my performance went well though we screwed up during the rehearsal. But hey, we did it that night and we all enjoyed all the late night practices till 2 in the morning at the Gazebo with the coolest coaches ever, Abang Udean and Abang Phat :) So thank you, guys :)
