Dreaming Neverland


Oh My God! I think i'm still addicted to Peter Pan! Help Me!!


Believe me, this all started from a simple glimpse of the movie on TV and it grew into this big addiction that i can't seem to control it. It certainly changed my taste in things for example i'm becoming more fond of the colour green than ever before and i am even considering renovating my room into a mini Neverland, maybe...i don't know.

Oh about a week back, me and Dad got out of the house to do a little window shopping and look what i found at U-HOME at Times Square. A gorgeous bed!! I love it so much! So much!! It's so pretty!! I can imagine it in my room already!
It's an IKEA design Day bed! SO pretty and white! It's a single converter! Which means the single bed can be pulled out to i guess a queen sized bed! You can extend it from the 3 drawers. And those 3 drawers can help me put some clothes in it! or Books! And the white paint is just wonderful.
IT'S A PERFECT BED!

And i was thinking the bed would look better with a wall with this shade of green behind it!
Apple Green~! So Nice! And with that green wall i want to put a little silhouette of tree branches, a stick type . The green paint is just gonna be on one wall and the other 3 walls would be in a light creamy white colour. These whites i have right now just shows plainess. And with all the mess cleaned up and my closet restored, it would be a 
NEVERLAND BED ROOM!

See, i am getting addicted to Peter Pan. Oh and i recently finished reading Peter Pan by J.M .Barrie via EBook. i cried in the end. And i swear, if i had the real book right now, i would still read Peter Pan until the pages fall off the bindings.
THE STORY IS SO MUCH FUN! AND IT'S LITERATURE!
i know right~

Anyway, this post is supposed to be reserved for my most recent dream i had and it's the perfect Neverland adventure dream! It was a fun dream that when i woke up i quickly took my phone and noted down any details i could still remember about the dream. I never like forgetting a good dream. Ok here it is..

*****

I was with my bestfriends, going out shopping in Times Square and as we were window shopping a deep hope suddenly appeared in the middle of the mall, and we were all sucked in. We all dropped what looked like a room, a sort of a hotel room looking out at an ocean and the floor was covered in sand but the room it self or the house was in a tree, that's the reason why it's also shady yet windy. We all stood up and there he was, little Peter Pan aka Jeremy Sumpter (watch the Peter Pan 2003 movie) Each of use played with Peter, imagining ourselves as indians or lost boys. Ifa, one of my bestfriend..mysteriously buried a goldfish. 


And one morning just as i got out from the bed in that room, i think i got hit behind the head and fell, kind f knocked out but my eyes were still open and i saw my friends and peter on the floor being tied up, but as usual my eyes started to shut. The next thing i knew, me and my bestfriends were tied up together and there were pirates. Captain Hook's pirate, Noodler was with us that time and Smee was holding down Peter Pan and of course Hook, cameout slowly from the door. Hook told us that Peter MUST SEND US BACK HOME. But we didn't want to at all, we were having fun, in Neverland. But Hook was mad that we didn't want to go home so he kind of ruined Ifa's goldfish's grave and she shouted. Then Hook took Peter in the house, but we could still see Peter from the door with Captain Hook's sliver hook hanging on Peter's clothes. We all were in tears and when it seemed like our last moments in Neverland and as we were place on the sands, we wrote a note in the sand hoping that if we ever leave and Peter's life is spared from the hook, Peter would see the note we made.


When suddenly, with his cleverness, Peter pulled a prank and he's away from the clutches of Captain Hook and the laughed and asked the pirates to catch him. Peter cut the ropes from us and he ran around making the pirates chase. Hook went down to try and catch Peter. Me and my friend split up and every pirates tried to catch us. I was running from Noodler, screaming but up until i reached a balcony and looked down to see Hook still chasing Peter i suddenly shouted 


"Why do you want to hurt us? Why do you want to hurt Peter? Is it because you don't have anyone to play with? Or..you don;t have a MOTHER? A mother that takes care of you and give you toys and play with you"

Everyone stopped for a moment when i shouted that, even Peter stopped. Then, he gave his mesmerizing smirk and yet again fooled Captain Hook. And the ticking sound came, becoming louder by the moment, but  
someone caught me from behind and i screamed, i tried to scream the way those girlish screams are done but i couldn't. But when i did.....

i woke up and started to jot down what i remember from this dream.

*****

I really wish to have that dream again, i really do! SO MUCH! See, i guess i am addicted to Peter Pan. But i figure out that the only way to get out from this addiction is to get myself to be bored with the addiction. HAHAAHA i know, a tough one. I'm trying now, although...i just go to read more of it. 

Oh and by the way, i finally got the Peter Pan 2003 movie on DVD! YAY!

I shall go to my Neverland in my head again, it's getting late. Goodnight =)



E-Books or Real Books

Or


Do ask yourself now, which would you prefer E-Books or Real Books? And Why?

If you chose E-books, could it be you preferred it better because it's more modern? More edgy? and Portable?

And if you chose real books, why?

Nowadays bookstores are struggling to sell their books. They're giving off discounts, free books and good deals, this is what is happening now in London. Since the the mini tablets that performs the same as computers, they offer an application for electronic books. Books that you can read either online or with the use of downloading it first. Sure, it's a nice treat to have many books just on the palm of your hand but have we lost the idea on which we started love reading from? 

Books and yes, REAL books. Books with papers in them, with every single letter printed in ink. Books that comes in paperbacks or hardcovers. It is from books that we actually gain our interest in reading and also where our imagination starts to go wild with every story you read.

Yes it's true that e-books and real books contains the similar contents of a book. I'm leaving all that to your judgement, but...

In my opinion, real books are better. Do we rely so much on technologies nowadays that it has changed our perspectives upon books? Before there were the mini tablets, the internet and heck, even the computer, our fingers has brushed pages of books of different kinds, the story books, dictionaries, encyclopedias.


The way I like my book is that when i turn each page of a book i choose, it'll make my imagination leap and wonder how the story is going to continue. 

The sound of flipping pages, the hug that you give the book after you finished reading it and you loved it,  even the smell of the book itself, the smell that shows it might be old or a freshly published book. Sometimes I would sniff the book I'm reading and trust me, i'm not the only one who does that. 

What a libraries built for? Keeping books. Yes, it's true. Isn't it weird to find a library that has mini tablets on the shelves instead of binded books of every story and shades of colour. But if you'll like to stick with technology, i'm not blaming, it's always your choice anyway, but remember where all the e-books stories have once came from =D
By the way, i'm currently waiting for my copy of J.M. Barrie's Peter Pan book to arrive. Quite a children's . book, but i'm just young at heart. Tata now~ bye~ =)

Happy Thoughts and A Little Fairy Dust


All children grow up, except one.
"With a little fairy dust and happy thoughts.."


"To live, would be an awfully big adventure" -Peter Pan

Oh the story of Peter Pan and the Neverland.
 Simply one of my favourite stories to read when i was young. 
I would love to read it again if i could,
 well could find the book and please i want a good illustration, not a Disney again.
 Hmmm i might as well be on a search for the book then. 
Challenge accepted!


Anyway, *sigh* Peter Pan,
 i've been kind of addicted to the story, pretty much the movie. 
The 2003 REAL LIFE Peter Pan movie and not a cartoon. 
That what makes the movie 
GOOD!





I watched it on the television a few days back,
 it's been a long time since i last watched it, years maybe.
 From that day i watched it on the TV, 
I've been begging from my Twitter page to watch it again, 
to get the DVD of it. 


But desperate times calls for desperate measures. 
I decided to watch it from YouTube today.
 And i did watch it....repeatedly...3 times in one day..full time.
 I can't help it! 


The thought of never growing up, 
living in a world where there's adventures every day 
and flying by simply thinking of happy thoughts and a little fairy dust,
 it's just make you smile because you know that was what 
you could have wished for before you grow up.


And i just realized when i watched it,
 the actor for Captain James Hook was, Jason Isaacs!
 The actor for Lucius Malfoy in the Harry Potter series!
 And Jeremy Sumpter, actor for Peter Pan ( so cute during that time) 
acted in a CSI: Miami episode as a teen killer! 
Wow, looked like Neverland didn't do any good 
HAHAHAHA


I really recommend to watch this movie, i really do.
 Just give it a try perhaps.
It's full of adventures and surprisingly with romance in the story.
 You'll learn from there;

A kiss is a thimble,
while a thimble is a kiss.




Well, i'll be off now, to go to my own little Neverland where i can visit every night and all i have to do is think of happy thoughts and close my eyes.    Good Night~!

It Paid Off

Joy.
Sadness.
Relieved.
Unsatisfied.

These were the emotions i felt all at the same time. That one moment that left me waiting for it for many days and many sleepless nights.

O'LEVEL RESULTS


UGH the pain of waiting for it. Dreadful i tell you. It's like every time you try to relax and have a bit of fun, the fact of knowing the result is just around the corner is just a killjoy. But it's alright now, the weight over the shoulders are gone now. 

I received a satisfying result...well not to my own standards i think. But i'm happy and so much thankful for the results i got, 5 0's
Alhamdullilah, i'm so thankful to Allah for helping me go through the tough times.

so, i got...

ENGLISH - B
BAHASA MELAYU - D
GEOGRAPHY - B
MATH - E
PHYSICS - B
CHEMISTRY - C
BIOLOGY - A (yay!)
COMPUTER - D

Well those grades from A - C are counted credits for O's. Maths, i struggled but i did my very best. Computer, i was really trying to get out from it. But Malay, *sigh* from what i heard from many sources, the the govt' made the Malay average credit mark higher this time. And my Malay teacher said my mark was actually a credit. Damn it all!! 

Colleges here, they want Malay a credit for O' levels before you are allowed to enroll into college. But with exceptional relation to other subject grades, like mine, all sciences a credit plus an English credit could be exceptional, only you have to write a letter and convince the ministry to let you attend college at the same time retake the June O'levels Malay subject. I don't mind retaking the Malay O'levels again, i'll do my very best to aim for a credit...just let me in the college again! I don't want to let it go because of a mere few marks under the credit line. There was a percentage of participants didn't make it to a credit for Malay O'levels but just below it, which without the raise of average marks would counted as a credit. *sigh* hope things go well.

Anyway i can say, my parents are proud of me, achieving the 5 O's. Now...i thinking of a little present for that little A grade i got and the 3 B's and 1 C. A little "positive reinforcement" perhaps. That's a psychology word for you.

Hmmm, it was just last Saturday the result came. Now i have around 2 weeks of holiday to get things straighten up. 

Tata now, i'm going to figure out what else to post.=)
