Numb

You win some,you lose some.

I'm losing something I'd give the world to keep.

Foreseen but unwarranted nonetheless.

Alhamdulillah...

Triple A isn't just a type of batteries.

Edinburgh,ahoy!

P.S: This is plagiarized...

P.P.S: Hopefully the exam dept. didn't do any mistakes...

Lagged!

C'est ridicules!

Can anyone let us know when exactly it will be published? Wouldn't it be more organized to feed us with the knowledge of a specific time frame for us to ogle the computer screen? Isn't it more considerate to allow us with enough time to arrange for funerals, to light up the pyre, to write the epitapth?

8.8.08 comes and goes as another ordinary day.

The Summer Olympics kicks off today. And happy birthday to Jo and Azra.

Terminal affliction...

As the clock ticks by, the febrile blotches becoming more apparent, and giant pimples erupting out of the blue, it's perfectly sane of me to believe that doom is impending. The doctor in me comes out with a few symptoms that leads to a simple prognosis.

I am now:

1) Sweating in the bitter coldness of early morning.

2) Suffering from sudden adrenaline rush.

3) Having the heart racing at random times.

4) Hating anything related to science. Watching CSI proves to be unkind to my little blood pump as NMR and Mass Specs are liberally depicted.

5) Having trouble to marshall my attention whatever I'm doing.

6) Getting incoherent in talking and thinking.

7) On the verge of an aneurysm and subdural haemotoma.

The prognosis: The unwanted news in THE email.

Symptoms can be lessen if the patient is blazing the country road. A little caution that this little remedy is not to be taken when the patient is extremely disturbed.

Well, we propose Allah disposes ayte?

Nitrous free...

It would have never crossed my mind that getting behind the wheels confers so much fun if I didn't risk experimenting it earlier today.

Jamming the bare right foot onto the accelarator gave a sensation quite alien to me. But I'm all for it.

Dilah, we should do this more often. There are places I've never been to before. Worth the late afternoon exploring I think.

Trigger Me Happy! =D

Got this from Ateqs. Hope it'll cheer us up a bit while waiting for THE email to arrive. List FIVE things (a departure from Ateqs' rule) that make you happy whether for a fleeting moment it crosses your mind or stuff that'll cool you down after a sudden eruption. As for me, these stimuli work well to instigate the secretion of happy hormone (endorphine is it?Gah,I miss Mrs. Madeline aldy!)

1: SMS from friends close at heart.The reason why RM30 doesn't stretch that long to cover a month.I dread phone calls though.This is applicable to situations where I have to make a call or answering it from an unknown number. I wonder what this trait suggests of my character... I think I have a gist of it.

2: Stuff from previous institutions.I still keep all my test papers from the secondary school. I find it difficult to dump these keepsakes even though that they serve nothing apart from collecting dust and occupying spaces. But combing through them whenever the impulse strikes never fails to put a smile on my face. Sentimental huh?

3: A combination of things; a good novel,iPod,and a train ride, and the thought that I still have my family and friends.

4: Writing. In the midst of improvising the lead character. More flaws eh?

5: The utmost important thing, a potent drug to survive in the land of strangers as pointed out by Aqtar: God or in my case, Allah. Put Him in your heart and you won't feel alone. Insya Allah.

I'm asking all readers to jot down 5 things that induce happiness. They can be something major or downright silly. Post it on your blog or just drop a comment here. It's up to you to tag others. Just take this as a favour to me, please. Perhaps we do share a few things regarding emotion...

Em-Oo-See

MOC was a blast. I'm fully aware that this post will not do justice in capturing the essence of the experience but not writing it is an insult to the programme itself.

I can only come out with a hit-and-miss list. I beg your pardon.

The Hit List

1. So many questions were answered be it on religion matters and on life as a student. It also became apparent that there shouldn't be a reason not to practice Islam in a foreign land. Indeed Islam is a practical and flexible religion.

2. Isolation is an option, not an inevitable condition. Students are presented with a delectable array of activities to choose from.

3. I learned something invaluable about friendship there. Will dedicate a post for it, Insya Allah.

4. A small reunion which impact, I hope, will carry on to the end.

5. I met with new people! (Super seniors from God-knows-which-batch)

6. A far better theme song than the one at a camp I went to a few weeks ago.

7. A comprehensive insight into life in the UK from the innumerable video presentations. And yeah, the Student’s Survival Guide is superbly informative.

8. A host of great facilitators. Their passion is infectious.

9. The chance to meet Mr. Zaidi.

10. The result will be out in a few days time! Gasp.

The Miss List

1. The many digressions.

2. My many ineptitudes especially on issues concerning Islam.

3. Too short a programme. Unlike the other camp, which I thought went on and on torturing my body, mind, and soul, this one felt like it come to an end tad too soon.

To sum it up, MOC has successfully exceeded all expectations.
