iYeay

It's frigging cold here. Am now in my study week for finals of the 5th sem. Such weather really draws me onto the bed but the head resists. It says you better off sitting in front of the lappy doing stuffs than laying on the bed and eventually fall asleep and then waking up with regrets.

And so my last post is about how I really want an iPhone. And tadaaaa, I got one now. Mission accomplished.

Not my hand though but that phone is mineeeee she's all mineeeeee

iPhone 6 was launched on the 6th of Nov 2014 which also happened to be my 21st birthday which also makes me feel that one of the units really does belong to me that I really gotta own one as a birthday present from me to me. It was announced to be launched a week before. So it's a week of tidak-tenang-of-so-many-parts I would say. I have been Googling and reviewing for the best telco to opt for and I decided that it's gonna be Digi cuz it's the cheapest and the only plan that would still provide me internet after I exceeded its quota. It's gonna be real slow though but that would suffice for IMs and light usage.


I also did search for the best Digi store to go queue for the iPhone on that very launching day because I really can wait no more, not a single day. Because I really wanted to buy her with my own earned money (of making websites) on my very own birthday and delaying the purchase for a day would only make it become totally insignificant cuz a birthday only lasted for a day. I really want an iPhone not a Galaxy or Nexus sebab I have always want one tapi duit tak cukup atau bila duit cukup kena guna untuk benda lain and this time around I got enough money and enough reason to buy a new phone cuz the older one dah retak dan asyik meroyan selalu gila crash.

Had this as desktop bg as an inspiration to get the client's website done and because
my macbook is in the same color cover so I think they match and really inspire LOL

So after a series of scrolling and clicking I decided to queue at the Digi Store Express near the Pasar Borong Selayang. Picked that store because it's quite infamous so less people would wanna queue there so my chances of getting an iPhone is fatter. Queuing at malls like Wangsa Walk would just be me signing up for my own death of not getting a seketul iPhone lol #ShasLogics. So on that very Thursday, my parents came around 8am, brought me there and we waited for the store to open at 9am.

While we were waiting across the store, I could see a few waiting faces who were also looking at me as if I was one of their rivals in the purchasing game. A pakcik with kopiah in vest reading something in his phone attentively, three Chinese guys laughing just trying to keep it casual (can't trust those faces tho) and a Chinese woman who just waited attentively right in front of the shop. As one of the Digi staffs was opening the store glass door, all 7 of us rushed towards the store and it really does feel like Hunger Games but instead of being in hunger for real food we were craving for iPhones 6.

My mum went all "cepatlah pergi beratur sana nanti pakcik kopiah tu dapat dulu" while literally pushing me towards the counter. And so I walked but that pakcik kopiah was there first. And when it has came to my turn, I asked that amoi staff,

Me: "iphone 6 ada lagi tak?"
Amoi: "Ada, miss nak warna apa?"
Me: "I nak silver"
Amoi: "Ok wait a moment"
Me: *counted money in my purse* "Can I pay half debit half cash?"
Amoi: "Cannot miss, must be in full in either mode"
Me: (sheez tak cukup cash pulak) "Ok then can you wait cuz I want to draw my money dekat sebelah"
Amoi: "Ok sure"

I really thought I could pay in half debit half cash cuz the last time I purchased my lappy it's possibly done that way. I then did draw the balance needed at the Public Bank besides the store but then the balance did not suffice cuz I cannot seem to draw more than a certain amount and the total I got in hand tak cukup lagi rm200 to make it RM 2,215. And so I turned to my dad sebelah with this puppy dog face of mine sambil tanya "ayaaaaaaah nak pinjam lagi rm200 boleh tak, sebab tak boleh nak draw dah, nanti janji kita bayar lepas yada yaadaaa"

Ayah then drawed his money pulak for me and all I can see is my forever knight in shining armor handing me just the thing I needed at the moment. And I then headed back to counter and she then showed me the box and tah macam mana tetiba terbeli the gold color LOL tak kisahlah janji dapat and gold looks slightly like brown which happens to be my favorite color so I'm totally ok with it hihihihihi. So that's how the story goes and I really thank my mum and dad for making it as one of the best birthdays lifelong as we had our lontong afterwards and my parents sent me to my class for the very first time and that's what makes it special on the 21st........

Let bygones be byebyed

Was scrolling through some articles and bumped into an article about the IIU's debate team.
They made it through the finals in the intervarsity tournament in UK and one of them is nominated as one of the top 10 speakers and even better they beat some outstanding teams from Cambridge and Hull. Way to go, gais!

As a matter of fact, I saw some familiar faces in those pictures as some of them are friends of friends of mine. Which then I saw this one pretty girl, her name is Ameera Natasha. I remembered how we were competing each other in the IIU's interschool debate back when we were in our Form 3 and she was from that Sekolah Seri Puteri. We were both the third speakers and the motion was "This house believes that video games should be banned". My school team won the round. (not to mention we were fortunate enough that we had gone through the related articles before the motion was announced, because trust me, they were good enough to win, too).

My teammates were Amier Idris and Wan Noruddin. They both are really good debaters and cool friends I could say. Kinda miss them though. And as the sub teammate, we have Ili Hanisah. I miss you too, Ili. Yknow how the say "the sky isn't always blue". It bummed me out when the three of them were transferring to new schools in Form 4. I wish I could turn back time when I was a Former 4 and accepted that offer to that SBP science shool, Samura. Or maybe could just turn back time to Former 1 and accepted that MRSM Muadzam Shah's offer. I was so dumb back then. I was having so much fun being the big fish in the small pond instead of migrating to a bigger pond with a greater future. Gah.

I love that feeling when I was a Former 3. We could skip classes for training whenever we have an upcoming tournament. Whenever he wants, our coach, Sir Zain would walk into our class, talked to our teacher and asked for our dismissal and we all four prefects would walk through the corridor and made our way to the library for a debate discussion and all those other students would look us through their classes' windows. What a superior feeling, vain gila. Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha.

So years rolled on, in 2009 after the 3 of them transferred out, I kept on accepting new teammates. When I was in Form 4, I had a new coach, Madam Shikeen, a new teacher transferred from Convent Kajang and a new team consists of 2 seniors and 1 junior, but then in the subsequent year the 2 seniors graduated and the junior transferred. So yada yada once again, I'm adapting to new teammates. (what a buzzkill I know). And in that 2010 year around I had 3 juniors as my new teammates as Madam Shikeen wanted it that way. We didn't sign up for the IIU's interschool tournament but went there as the spectators as we were a bit late in registering so we were unlisted.  

But still, we participated in other school tournaments and won the championship but up until the state level only. The highlighted part is the part where we won the debate championship in the Amal Islami tournament (it's a tournament for all Islamic schools) and it was a 3-years-in-a-row defending championship and the best thing is, I was in all three championship.

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

To reminisce how in Form 1, back then in SMK Seksyen 10 Kota Damansara, I was a hingusan-small-in-size-but-high-in-spirit freshman entered a poetry competition and won the first prize which then I was chosen to represent the school beating up all my seniors. And long story short, I was entitled as the champion in the region level which then qualified me to represent my Petaling Jaya region in the state level.  I was the one who created the poem and also the one who recited the poem on stage together with my two friends, Dzul and Isyraf as the casts playing with the props behind. But it was one hell of experience though we lost due to our very bad props comparing to other schools' but still we had so much fun. And recently, I found the Facebook profiles of theirs. Gotta say they really outgrew me as they turned out to be very tall and handsome hahaha. 

 I love the way I would eagerly wanna go back home right after those tournaments because I wanna show my parents what I did bring back for them. The proud faces of theirs are one of things that I look up the most lifelong. And am totally gonna show those trophies and certificates to my future children too, someday. 

I sometimes say to myself "if and only if I did transfer to one of those schools, I might have been at a higher place then I currently am, I might have been studying in an abroad university by now" but then, reality shakes me off. Such thoughts are absolute craps. Clock will never turn anti-clockwise. Things happened for reasons. God has better plans. And life..... it goes on. I can never change the past but all that I know of now, is that I can always curb my future the way I want to, Allahwills.

The End Has No End #nowplaying

We are the people

#nowplaying We Are the People - Empire of the Sun

First week of this semester. Cooler lecturers, tougher subjects (I digress from only the Intro haha). Alhamdulillah am enlisted in the Dean's List in the previous semester. Yippieyikay! Shoulda woulda coulda stay on track this semester onwards. Simply because I wanna graduate with a cgpa of at least 3.5 and it matters.

Read the materials before the class session and stay bloody focus in class. I love the way my lecturers would say the same name in every class. That magnificent 'Ikram' guy, whom happened to be one of the best students in IIU and now is going through the IA in Google ( or maybe Facebook Idk as there are two guys and the other one went to the other place) and is very good in Programming that he himself taught the judges the solutions to a programming problem in that ACM ICPC thing. How I wish my name would replace that name in the future.

Does it sound a bit far-fetched? As if the universe would ever work in my favour and somehow turns me from a zero to a hero. I'm pretty sure it's viable but..... only if I work harder and change my study habit. Because how do I expect a way greater result if my efforts would always be the same? Haih wake up Sha. It's a very long way ahead.

I know myself very well and I know how I am really into the last-minutes thingy. Might as well change that part, too. Gonna ace all my quizzes and tests and projects and score on the carry marks. But beforehand, have to always stay on track and catch up every lessons and seek the lecturers for help. And another thing I have noticed is that whenever I cut my eating portion I would stay a lot sharper. So might as well imply that whole eat-breakfast-like-a-king-and-dinner-like-a-pauper stuff. Skip supper and have an earlier light dinner. No meal after 8, sleep on time and wake up early.

I like the way Ayah would kiss my forehead and the way Mak would hug me and the way Along would pat my head when they read my grades last week. I love that feeling, as if they are so proud of me and know that every money and effort in raising me is worth it. And in that very moment, I swear, I would never let them down and indeed way prouder of me. 

Vas happenin

Currently working as a part-timer at a boutique. Trying to earn extra money because I have a debt to be settled. A summon from the jpj. The road tax has overdue but then still, I gutlessly drove the car. So much guts, Sha. Long story short, need to attend a session in the court at the 11th of February. And to assume, it would be a sum of 600 ringgit to be paid off. Earning 50 ringgit per day so have to at least work for 12 days straight, I guess well you do the maths. And I'm currently on my day 6th.

My usual view while working

I have this one impulsive disorder where I would do things intuitively and thinking that it would be one hell of an adventure and not to consider the logical consequences. I should have been aware that driving a car that has an expired road tax sticker would have cost me troubles but then I was so busy being spontaneous and impromptu I put aside of what bad things that could have happened. Brava Sha. It costs you a period of 12 intense working days for a less than an hour fun driving. Good riddance. 

But yes another shawesome disorder of mine (my friends coined that shawesome word which is frankly quite narcisisstic whenever I used it as a hashtag but still so much swag), where I would never learn lessons from my past. I wish I'm good in reflecting my past mistakes as guidance to a better life of mine. I could have used that 600 ringgit to buy a new handphone but then I simply blew the money off towards the summon thing. My life has been too unsafe lately, I should stop doing dangerous things and start being an adult (bluek).  

And on an unrelated note, I have decided, that I wanna start saving stash. I wanna save up on my meal expenses so that on my next birthday, I can get myself a birthday present which is, the iPhone 6. HEE. I have felt that satisfaction where I worked hard and saved up to buy that one thing like this one

it's a laptop that I have been aiming for, and to buy it using my part time job's salary, that is one supersweet feeling I tell ya. And yes, I wanna feel that again. But I can tell that this one is a whole different thing. Instead of buying it using wholly the money I earned, I wanna buy that phone using mostly the money I saved. 

3K. Maybe I would start skipping dinner and stop eating junk foods. And some extra part time job would help I digress. And if you are happened to read this, mak ayah, I will do just fine, don't you worry hihihihi. Berusaha!
