Livin' The Vida Life

"Gaan ~ Suid-Afrika!"

So readers i know it's boring, but i'm so busy with the World Cup matches! AHAHAH! =D

Adios now readers =D

"Life is rhythm, football is rhythm and I feel the rhythm when I am in South Africa." - Sepp Batller

"We at FIFA are working very hard in South Africa with South Africa to ensure that the World Cup will happen in South Africa."- Jerome Valke

Wow. Have you ever heard someone said the word "South Africa" 3 times in a sentence?


In about 13 hours from this post, TV stations (ie. Astro) all over the world will be broadcasting the game live! It's the time when football (soccer NOT rugby) fans go crazy, cheering for their chosen country, buying the football jersey to support the country and of course, sacrifice their sleeping time for the sake of the game. People waited every four years for this event, just like the Olympics. Only that this event is focusing on one sport. FOOTBALL.

"When we are dreaming alone it is only a dream. When we are dreaming with others, it is the beginning of reality." -Dom Helder Camara

I'm experiencing weirder dreams day by day and i don't know how to explain it. The dream i had that was the weirdest by far happen two nights ago, and the dream felt a pretty long time.

Somehow the dream took me to my school (SMY) at the main gate, everything seems normal there, only it looks like we have alot of visitors from different form 6 schools and also visitors for England judging by what i heard in my dream, was pure strong British accent. I guess our students were told via speakers to go to the lecture hall, so i followed the students up the main stairs and i saw Dr. Loji (our principal) with some other "important" people. I wanted to go up the stairs which leads to the form 5 classes, but in my dream...there was no stairs at all. It was a big elevator! But before i went in the elevator i greeted Dr. Loji, but his reply to me was shocking! He replied with "Hey gurl~ how ya doin'?" and did those finger movements my friends used to do. I can feel myself being weirded out, i asked myself, "Was that really the principal?"

I ignored it before things could get even weirder with the principal. So i went in the elevator and when it opened it showed me..what it was supposed to be the lecture hall in my dream. The lecture hall in my dream was not even close to what it looks like in reality. It was huge! It was big as the Jerudong Park Amp!  It looked like a place where an ochestra would play their melody in! There were huge crowds of stidents from different school and they all seated according to their school. When i sat down and looked around i saw two of my ex-seniors; Auji and Nazmi, sitting still with their spectecals on while writing down notes of the principal's speech (even in my dream his speeches are long and boring, can't help to wonder why ahahah). There was no words coming out from either of my ex-seniors, but there was blabbering in the background, it must have been the principal speech ahhaha.

The speech finally ended and the students were excused from the huge lecture hall. I guess i went out into a field where there were people playing rugby...not to mention, i saw my friend Zaff. Then there was a market place at the side of the field that caught my attention. I went in...and it was a kind of black market. People selling weird and creepy things. Then i saw something in a cage, something with wings of a bat and glowing red eyes...

I woke up so suddenly, it was a long dream, slept at 11pm woke up at 9am...that was long. I can still remember the dream clearly. It was an interesting dream, but also weird =P

One of my favourite things about dreams, is that i can remember them well.."weird"

Later now, Bye.

"I shouldn't have to rhyme these words in the rhythm for you to know it's a rap"

"One name, of course it's Eminem, yeah that's right. I could listen to his music til late at night. He's the best, i will simply confess. His lyrics are strong, even if the words he uses are wrong, for the children to hear, but heck don't even let them go near. He's the best rapper for me, even better, he's the best rap-per of the cen-tury. Now i'm gonna let you hear this little song, a little song that inspired me a whole month long. Hey Eminem, the mic now goes to you, let's hear you rap and show what you really can do! Hey~!"   - (to Eminem if he will ever find this or read this =D )


Not Afraid- Eminem
 

"I'm not afraid to take a stand
Everybody come take my hand
We'll walk this road together, through the storm
Whatever weather, cold or warm
Just let you know that, you're not alone
Holla if you feel that you've been down the same road"

I love this part of the lyrics, it really inspire me to...well..to not be afraid. There are people out there that are having the same problem as me (maybe), which means i'm not alone, not the only one in the world with a problem. Plus his rapping has been stuck in my head for a whole week. Introduced by one of my bestfriends; Mirza, i realized how much i miss Eminem's music. Now i can't get his song out of my head. Sometime i would laugh at a random time, just because a funny part of a lyric just popped in my head.

Overall, yes, Eminem's music is an inspiration to me, just in a different way. You can understand his message clearly through his music, and wow...they are based on true story. Also, if you readers have been sharp with your ears, Eminem's rapping is getting faster by the years, unbelievable, it's hard to sing-along with him =P  In my opinion, yes, Eminem is by far the best rapper i have ever known.

Blogger Out!

"Thought to give it a renovation, a new change"

So i guess you readers must have seen the change on my blog page. Yes, more earthy isn't it? Well i thought that the page needs more colour on the background. There won't be much colour in my text now, as i would like to keep things simple and only express them with words.  And i did some changes to the link, it is now http://www.yasminxjamal.blogspot.com/ , guess i got too attatched to my Twitter name.

Yes, i have a Twitter and i'm quite active in it than Facebook or Blogger. So be sure to follow me on Twitter, just click the little blue birdie on the side column and you're on your way to follow me =)

The new renovation calls for a different type on post now too. I'm figuring i should have equal side of whats going on in my life (happy ones only) and what's going on around me.

Let's say an example of what's going on in my life: Well, HOLIDAYS thankyou God! waited so long for the time.

And for what's going on around me: Well, I'm busy finding some of my picture that shows MY Brunei, as i'm participating a contest on Twitter created by BruneiTweet. Prize is a limited edition of a BruneiTweet t-shirt. I did sent 2 photos of MY Brunei, but to me..it wasn't enough. Which is why now, during this holiday, i'm preping up my camera and sharpening up my shutterbug skills.

So my post is going to be 50/50 of my life and my surrounding. And i might add up a post to show what i think of a certain topic. For example, the latest news (not really latest) the new licence plates for Brunei: A Waste.

So sort like that. So be sure to catch up, during this holiday, my spare time would be on studying and ofcourse trying to post a blog. =)

Tata now

"Yes, i plead myself guilty. Case closed."

I know my dear readers, it's been a long time since my last post, MONTHS to be exact. As you see, this year is my busiest year by far. Studies were always the top priority, it still is now. Staying back in school til 5.30 pm and then there's tuition, but it's all for the sake of my future.

Speaking of future, i recently attended the May/June O'levels for the papers of English, Malay, Mathematics D, Biology, Physics and Geography. Maths for me was the toughest of all the papers. Engish was the most nerve-wrecking paper, you can't predict what was going to come out on the English paper at all. Malay, i did my best i can,  hopefuly it's ok for a credit. Geography was uterly confusing, but the paper was okay. Physics and Biology papers..well... i can say the papers were fine the way it was...it's just that the pratical... made the moods go sinking like the Titanic herself. The praticals for Biology and Physics had a lot of problems hiding under the paper. For Physics the pulleys went stubborn, and i guess i hit the careless mistake. Biology pratical was uncalled for, drawing a beetle?!? I can't even remember have that in our syllubus and i don't get it... the banana food test, it was completely different from the teacher's result but there were a number of the class got the same result as me. Hopefully it's acceptable due to flaw of the experiment.

All of them have the same thing in common, there wasn't enough time! Well, what's done is done.

That is not the end yet readers, i still have to study for the October/November O'levels, so it still means there will be less post than last year. So please dear readers, please understand what i'm going through now, for the sake of my future. But of course, when i find the time i will update. =)

Thankyou and goodbye

I have found me a year that i hope to achieve my resolution (gonna post tomorrow) and go through the GCE'O Level examination with high hopes of a good future ahead. I'm looking foward for more suprises and challenges with 2010.

*****************************************************************************

So farewell '09.

Great times with were well spent, like meeting new friends in January. Friends such as Akhmal, Del, Ahmad etc.

AHAH! then the experience where everyone in the class failed Chemistry on the first assessment test.

Then F4S1 youtube account made, parodies, PaDa!, Hot or Cold and F4S1 Awards!

Then to the audition for the Charity Night which is stupidly cancled "oh so" suddenly.

And to our Maths and Class teachers kept changing to this to that until the principal has made his final decision.

And there was the Geological trip and recently the Tasek Lama hike.

Then Tarian Competition, tho we lost, we tried and hopefully this is it's a possible win, we just need the will of the students.

Oh and the Teacher's Day Celebration! The entrance for it was crazy! Tears for every speech and love and gratefulness for every word. Emotions filled that day.

Fun, Scary yet busy too..of course Izwan's B'day bash/ Halloween party is the class of F4S1 '09.

Then the scary movie marathon in the class after our E.O.Y exam ended.

Then the time Fatin has to leave for Dubai, miss her dearly all the way from the Adobe Of Peace!

And most memoriable and most recent, the 8th and 9th of December School Lock-In Camp 2009!

*********************************************************************

See 09'? We had fun together, experience new things, went through pain, went through happiness. 09' We will miss you, but we have a life and we must move on...

Sorry, but go find yourself a Past. G'bye, will miss you and don't call back!

2010~ come here! Let the adventure begin!

Lyrics:

You would not believe your eyes
If ten million home supplies
Appeared and taught me how to live

I test out every bed
Look! I'm on a movie set
You'd think me straight
I just can't help but frolic

I like to make myself believe
That I could die here happy
Everything I'd ever need is right in front of me
I think there's something wrong with this TV
Nap time..

I take a thousand steps
When do these arrows end
Either Deja Vu or I've been here before

These employees are jerks
And there arrows don't freaking work
Because if they did I wouldn't be asking you
How to get out of here!!

I like to make myself believe
These magic arrows help me
With every step I'm lost again
My legs can't walk no more
I don't think they have an exit door
How is this a lamp?!?

I find it kind of hard to believe
That there's a food court right next to me
If i never left how did I get here
I think I saw this in the Twilight Zone once
Nobody inside made it out!
What are you looking at?!

My points of latitude and longitude are
30 north 100 west
I'll be on the couch that's on your left

I like to make myself believe
That somebody will save me

**********************************************************************
AHAHAHHA this parody song of Firefly by Owl City couldn't get any better! AHHAH IKEA! So true, arrows ARE confusing but it's so much fun to get lost in there AHAH

There! The trailer. I know it's longer than any other trailer...well, that's because it's a 3 hours duration for that movie...but seriously. I highly recommend anyone to watch this, at least try!

IT'S WORTH EVERY PENNY AND TIME!!

bored at home, want to kill time on sleeping?

Activate your brain to 3 hrs of great effects! It's so worth it!

Overall, i'm giving this a 5/5 stars! Full and i'm not being bias. Storyline was good, a hint of common sense into it rather than just full friction. Effects, yet again GREAT! what else you want me to express how good this movie was?

Watch it!

-Second day of the camp, hiking time, well it was abit late for hiking i think we start around 9am. Visited the Stonehenge (obviously fake one). And then the hiking to gov't houses (i think i dunno what they call themselves)

******************************************************************************

-It's a C-A-M-P-F-I-R-E-S-O-N-G SONG! This is the night of the first day of camp. BONFIRE!!! (gawd that sounded rockin') FIRE! AHAHA! Gather around to roast those marshmellows. In a sticky situation? Just don't over roast those marshmellow, it'll melt through your long satay sticks and ends up in the fire and you got no more the mellow-y goodness!

*********************************************************************************

-Let them burn! keep the fire burning on the ground floor! Here's Ali (just knew him in camp, made a new friend! now we know what we're gonna talk about next year XD) throwing some wood to the bonfire, it was gonna die out soon, so revive it with wood!
