I should have asked to buy Ne-Yo's new CD instead of Jason Mraz. Nvm... when I get da money. Hehx.. xP NeYo makes me want to study harder so I can BE the BOSS in the future. HEH. Good job Safiah. You listen to inspiring music ^^v. But why does his song revolve all around the same thing? aahah
Miss Independent... Nyeh. pays all the bills on time. Wahaha... yeah yeah.. Certainly the Year of the Gentleman...(HIM)
and in his MVs it's like his wearing the SAME type of clothes...ooh tis the Gentleman theme.. haha. RIGHTS
I remember at one time I din't like Ne-yo much. I only started liking his songs after this couple danced to his song- Because of You on So You Think You Can Dance. That was really good. I only listen to him cos I really miss Usher... Believe me, I'm eclectic in taste.
Closer (piano cover) by David Sides. I must say, he's nailed it! wow.
CHRISTINA, i suddenly miss you a lot... gosh it's cos of Exam periods, I don't see you around a lot. SEE YOU VERY SOON!!! ayz i still haven't given you your birthday present and it's IN MY ROOM! haha... yeah yeah..
SADELENA, you bought a (RED) iPOD you!!! aahh! Ok ok.... fiine. I'll be rich one day.. nvm
FADILAH, what a hoot when you added Shahini and me and Hafez on the convo. Nyeh... and then, baik ah you just left us like that w/o saying Goodbye. Nyeh. I prefer proper closure anytime...
DIAN, though this is random, I really felt that we grew apart. I miss the times when we were close. I still love you babe. Let's make a joint birthday bash next year? Till then, see you when we have the Primary school, raya outing...
spontaneous, cunning up with a surprise of a storm @ 11:08 pm
I still love Taufik !
and am still fascinated with Korea. Heh.
and I am falling more and more in love with Asia, as in our continent, everytime. (: We don't need Western influences... We're much more lovely. Yupp.
ok just felt like blogging la. Erma made a tribute post for me. Thanks darling (: *biggrin*
I'll study P&P again and try my best... it's like the last bit already. Everyone's finished their paper except the H2 Geog and H2 Lit peeps. Everyone's celebrating and preparing for Raya. A lot of people are making Hari Raya kuehs already... huhu! And I still hate the way my room looks like. I want it to transfigure! transform! reborn! haha so "potrait (paper 5 lit)". Nevermind, I have the weekends to study. Nyeh...
And I'm realising how Pride&Prejudice was a self-help book ahead of its time. Jane Austen is a wonderful genius.
"I am convinced, my dear aunt, that I have never been much in love, for had I really experienced that pure and everlasting passion, I should at present detest his very name, and wish him all manner of evil. But my feelings are not only cordial towards him; they are even impartial towards Miss King. I cannot find our rhat I hate her at all, or that I am in the least unwilling o think her a very good sort of girl. There can be no love in all of this. My watchfulness has been effectual; and though I should certainly be a more interesting object to all my acquaintance, were I distractingly in love with him, I cannot say that I regret my comparative insignificance. Importance may sometimes be purchased too dearly."
-Elizabeth, Pride & Prejudice.

We keep our distances We don't reveal our inner selves I'm done with this tension buildup of a dance I think I've finally reached equlibrium with you.
It's okay. We're stable.
___
Yeah. Woo hoo! I transcended to the Janeite-dom. Oh and stumbled across some fab blogs:
the h1-ers said P&P for them was difficult. Imagine what ours would be like. Grr....
Replying Wesley's tags:
Ok WES, i already put one song up. WOO HOO..rejoice. Buy talisman and amulet! WAHAHHAAH.... ohho... would that REALLY WORK.. wahah.. u GHOST. and CONGRATS... u successfully spammed my tagboard. u did u did u did. congrats. woo hoo. and now I know what to get for your bday: 2 pin plug... good idea ah. NYEHE. The timing on the tagboard is like tat. I'm too lazy to change it just as you are too lazy to take the 2 pin plug from your stereo to shave.
Replying Christina:
Ya durh! ME was like.. WHAAAAT too. heehe.. me! seductive! neyeye.. i'll try it out on you and see if you are seduced when i c u. neyheheh.. .RIGHT LA.. me do not know the art of seducing or me am not equipped with the art of seducing unless me am already BORN with the art of seducing.
whaha.. ok yes xtina, i stop now. i started crapping already. boo hoo..
Personality Quizzes, as we all know, are not 100% accurate... but what most people do not know is that, I am an anomaly too.
Other people find you very interesting, but you are really hiding your true self. Your friends love you because you are a good listener. They'll probably still love you if you learn to be yourself with them.
The type of girlfriend/boyfriend you are looking for:
You are a true romantic. When you are in love, you will do anything and everything to keep your love true.
You like serious, smart and determined people. You don't judge a book by its cover, so good-looking people aren't necessarily your style. This makes you an attractive person in many people's eyes.
Your readiness to commit to a relationship:
You are ready to commit as soon as you meet the right person. And you believe you will pretty much know as soon as you might that person.
The seriousness of your love:
You like to flirt and behave seductively. The opposite sex finds this very attractive, and that's why you'll always have admirers hanging off your arms. But how serious are you about choosing someone to be in a relationship with?
Your views on education
Education is very important in life. You want to study hard and learn as much as you can.
The right job for you:
You're a practical person and will choose a secure job with a steady income. Knowing what you like to do is important. Find a regular job doing just that and you'll be set for life.
How do you view success:
You are afraid of failure and scared to have a go at the career you would like to have in case you don't succeed. Don't give up when you haven't yet even started! Be courageous.
What are you most afraid of:
You are afraid of having no one to rely on in times of trouble. You don't ever want to be unable to take care of yourself. Independence is important to you.
Who is your true self:
You are mature, reasonable, honest and give good advice. People ask for your comments on all sorts of different issues. Sometimes you might find yourself in a dilemma when trapped with a problem, which your heart rather than your head needs to solve.
oh gosh... yeah... sometimes i'm scared to know who I really am...but I like to flirt and behave seductively? hrm...
n my left eye is turning red. and i'm supposed to sleep and I'm reaaaaly tired but I don't want to sleep. not yet. It's like I need to get something out but I don't exactly know what. Gosh. furreak.
~oh dear beauty, that I should call you friend, would be an act of grace on your behalf.
I will sit a thousand days beside you, if only to hear the stories of your journey.

GP and Econs today!
Whee.
GP, I got the paper, looked at it and started circling and crossing some questions. I knew in my mind I wanted to do something about Youth & Technology. So i picked.
"The wired generation". Evaluate the impact that this trend has on young people.
Gosh. I'm really scared I went out of point so I shall look at what wired generation means.. *starts to pray***
nyeheh.. only because of Mr Lam. THANK YOU CHER. you rock. And the lovely Econs teachers.
Case Study: SIA
Essay: 2(a). explain allocative efficiency in resource 2b) Is govt intervention desirable in allocating resource?
4a) Difference b/w Oligopoly and Perfect Competition b) Pfizer example of Oligopoly. Is it beneficial to society?
While waiting for Econs to start, we had 45 mins to do last minute chionging. My classmates went crazy at the study bench outside the hall.
I started this Mat thing: "Amaciemm!" then Shafienas said "Amaciemm!" then we did the rock thing. and I said "Wehhh!"
haha. and Shafienas asked me which mat I met who said "Wehhh!" ahaaha.. I dunno. I guess I was feeling the INNER MAT in me. HUR HUR... right...
Then after school I wanted to top up my ez-link. Took the same bus as Shafienas, Nadirah and Siti. When I wanted to alight, they did the rock thing to me again. You know, the pseudo-mat style. Nyehe. There was a Old Nyonya sitting in between us cos we sat at the first level of a double deck bus. So I rock salamed them then the nyonya did the same to me! HAHA. I was shocked and the girls burst out laughing. And you know how Siti laughs. She just... EXPLODES. hahaha.. I was so shocked I couldnt do anything. By the time I wanted to do the same thing to her, she put down her hand already. So I was like a fool extending my rock hand to her. WAHAHAH.. and Shafienas was there, trying not to laugh BUT laughing. I bet they were laughing all the way home LARH. HAHAHA...
Must be a damn cool Girl when she was young. Heh... *GRINS*
Sidenote: I should have started corresponding to Shahini through email a long time ago. Unfortunately for both of us, she has a handphone but doesn't know how to use it. Gosh nini! Nyehh ok replying your email now.
Elliot is so nice. He did his Lit paper 5 outline and let us all see. He is such a nice lit rep. I'm so glad to have a lit rep like Elliot. :D
Oh and after Econs, I was walking with the gang to go to the library to get Elliot's beautifully done paper 5 outline when somebody just came to me and asked me how my Econs was. . Guess who ah. WESLEY! Wah so long never see my bass SL. It was a surprise cos usually I'll be the one starting the conversation when I see him. And he usually looks like he belongs in a parallel universe, somewhere where the ghosts belong cos he's usually so pale, white and sleepy. Just now, he looks damn haggard. Wesley, go sleep more. Now is promos time and you can't afford to sleep so late durr. And go shave. Nyehe. :D But who cares. You look good like that too. (:
and oooh Wesley. You have an admirer. Be warned. Nyehe.

In my field of paper flowers I'm counting up all the hours, Waiting for the day that is ours. Maybe I'd have better luck with the stars?
And the rain blurs all the letters Hiding the secrets of our treasures. Did it also wash away the colors Of a love made from dreamers?
With hands full of time, I seek the answers Before we notice we've become strangers. And now what separates is more than hours In our lost field of paper flowers. ___
Happy paper 5 tomorrow people! and to the h1 lits, happy paper 1.
Which reminds me, saw Kamal and Azrul on the way back from MRT. Azrul was on the way to the library, to DESTRESS. WOO HOO. baik Azrul...

oh btw, did you know I'm a teeny bit weeny dissapointed and I totally do not know why. It is without rhyme, without reason. And it's a teeny bit weeny frustrating too. NyA!
XOXO N U R S A F I A H still feeling the Goong vibe Goong is love
because of firewall, i can't DL songs... and i can't upload pictures.. cos it's a paid virus protection.
I stumbled across Goong today. It's true how certain songs just bring out certain emotions from you.
I really love Parrot by Howl from the Goong OST. Makes me want to cry.
I remember the craze last time, all the girls I know were caught up on it. My cousins, my friends. And we were all united in it, watching the show the WHOLE DAY. Seriously not caring about school, singing all the songs, laughing together, following the way they talk, the way they act. I miss the company and the craze.
Most of all, I miss the show. I want another one like it to come out not only cos of the fantasy of the story, but also, cos I miss the effect it had on the viewers. It brought us all together, albeit the mass wasting time and burning away of money to the producers. But it's all worth it. It's a very satisfying, wholesome show and I don't know when else I'll watch something like it. It had everything. Heh. It even showed how arranged marriages can actually work. woo! haha.
I'm so gonna watch it again after Promos cos I've forgotten their names. I'll propose a sleepover at someone's house and Sade, me and Fadi can go watch it. Nyeheh. Shahini doesn't like these kinda shows. But then maybe we'll expose her to it! WOO HOO. Need lots of tissues.
Or with the netballers. Heh. I still have to borrow Kai Qi's books. And Wei Shan's Korean DVD collection. WAHOOs.
Parrot by Howl.
Perhaps Love (forgot the artist)
ookkok back to Econs.

aww i feel better.. heh @ 11:25 pm
1) 5/9/08, Friday
Whenever your perspective on something creates emotional pain, Nur, it's always because your perspective is still so narrow that you've yet to see all the good it will make possible.
Because it will.
I can see clearly now... The Universe
2) 4/9/08, Thursday
Has anyone ever told you, Nur, that you have a knack for making people feel special? Important? Like they really matter?
I should know.
A million thanks, "dudette" - The Universe
Of course they matter. haha...
and lately, my penchant forJalal ad-Din Muhammad Rumi, known to the English world simply as Rumi, the 13th century Turkish poet.I borrowed a book of his poems from the school library on Wednesday and the librarian thought I had to study it for Lit. HUH?! haha.. then I said it's just for light reading. Yeah. ahahh
1)
You suppose you are the trouble But you are the cure You suppose that you are the lock on the door But you are the key that opens it It's too bad that you want to be someone else You don't see your own face, your own beauty Yet, no face is more beautiful than yours.
2)
In truth everything and everyone Is a shadow of the Beloved, And our seeking is His seeking And our words are His words... We search for Him here and there, while looking right at Him. Sitting by His side, we ask: 'O Beloved, where is the Beloved?'
and then there is this which I have often thought of and he puts it nicely in words:
Because we do not know when we will die, we get to think of life as an inexhaustible well and yet everything happens only a certain number of times - and a very small number really. How many times will you remember a certain afternoon of your childhood, an afternoon that is so deeply a part of your life that you can't even conceive of your life without it? Perhaps four or five times more? Perhaps not even that. How many times will you watch the full moon rise, perhaps twenty, and yet it all seems so limitless…"
Paul Bowles 1910-1999
