Whew

Looking back at several of my recent posts, I thought, 'oh my so serious'. Hahahaha. Well let's steam off, shall we?

Remember my old post where I talked about choosing squash over tennis? Well that has certainly changed now. I'm a tennis player now. Muahahaha. And i'm loving it. Maybe if i spend my time playing squash more than i do with tennis, i'll love it more. But as for now, tennis excites me.And i think im getting pretty good at it too ;) Except well, my low blood pressure. Ah, I could work on that. Hehe.

And that proves a human can change their minds, and continue to be that way.

Yeah, whatever the picture says :)

Hey you. Yeah you. You might think that I got it all sorted out in life don't you? Have all the riches in the world, w my sweet nurturing words i portray in this blog, gazillion boys worship me by the feet. Well sorry to disappoint you, but I don't.

And putting up a barrier and act like I have it all under control is all I have to be okay. Well, most of the time i am really okay so don't go and throw some sorrows or pointless drama in my life.


Just to be clear, I am currently contented with my life, and I'm happy with it. And I thank Allah for giving me all that :)

Flashback

PRESS PLAY

 
She loves her momma's lemonade
Hates the sounds that goodbyes make
She prays one day she'll find someone to need her
She swears that there's no difference between the lies and compliments
It's all the same if everybody leaves her

And every magazine tells her she's not good enough

The pictures that she sees makes her cry

She would change everything, everything, just ask her

Caught in the in between of beautiful disaster
She just needs someone to take her home

She's giving boys what they want

Tries to act so nonchalant
Afraid to see that she's lost her direction
She never stays the same for long
Assuming that she'll get it wrong
Perfect only in her imperfection

She's not a drama queen

She doesn't wanna feel this way
Only 17 and tired, yeah

She would change everything for happy ever after

Caught in the in between of beautiful disaster
She just needs someone to take her home

She's just the way she is

But no one's told her that's OK

She would change everything, everything, just ask her

Caught in the in between of beautiful disaster

She would change everything for happy ever after

Caught in the in between of beautiful disaster
She just needs someone to take her home
She just needs someone to take her home


I was in love with this song back in the myspace era. I meant every word of it back then. I was so broken back then that this song describes me perfectly. Well, not really, but you got my point right? Came across this song just now while listening to my iPod, and decided to make a post out of it.

Here's to them broken girls that think that they are not good enough, tired of trying to get the attention from those who doesn't care. You can be broken, but don't let it ruin you. It almost ruined me, but thank God i have friends and family who loves me at that time. Reach out, don't let it all fall on you.

There's always a person who is going thru the same thing as you are now that you can talk to. If you think that you have nobody else, you're absolutely wrong. Try and think of all those people you hurt just by saying that you have nobody else. They're insulted, cause they are there for you, and you're just being arrogant, wanting the attention from some stranger. What's the point? Life, you have to see what's in front of you. that may seem easier said than done, but it's true. People always, always take things for granted. But yeah, it's just the way it is. We just have to constantly remind ourselves that there are somebody out there who loves you. Who will care for you even if you hit rock bottom. Allah is always there, even if all human beings turned their backs on you. Remember that. #notetoself ehehe :)


Ahh. This song just brings back a whole load of memories I don't even want to remember. But it's okay, i'm much much more better now. Alhamdulillah :)

Mind

Your words, they made it thru. 
But they'll stay as long as i want it to
Maybe you just say things I wanna hear
But I really want you here

In another completely different topic, I feel like I shouldn't give in too much to sleep.

I remember during my high school, a teacher of mine, he taught me Modern Maths, I adored his geeky-ness. Lol. And in this one class, he pointed out that if we listen to a music that has the same wavelength as your brain while studying, it'll help you to digest better. So, you know what he did? He attached a speaker to his laptop and turned on this soft music while teaching us. Hahaha. True story. Oh funny moments.

And my current hobby is blog walking. I simply love it. Not only I get to read other people's stories (me being a busy body at its best) I get to absorb other people's way of writing and pickup some new words that I can use. Happy happy hobby :)

Just Another Rant

Your beauty is like, stunning. No, it's more than that. It's bedazzling, catching stares from everyone who looked. Short glances turned to infinities of longing. Thousands and thousands of eyes are glued to you, and your face is still. Like the liquid from the morning coffee, untouched and hot. No words can actually come close to describing your profound beauty, even perfect seems inadequate. Calling you beautiful seems underrated. Even the angels envy your radiance, and the fact that you made all heads turn, it's no surprise for me as you lift my heart up high beyond the skies every time you look at me with those God-made eyes. Your body language is alluring, attracting even the superior few to envy you, those who that I thought was beautiful, before I met you. Those with anger will immediately cease with it once they have a sight of you.

And the fact that you are only wearing a black abaya with niqab, speaking in the most humble way a person can be, makes you look ravishing than ever without even showing off.

Imagine, being able to love someone and think highly of that someone until you really can't describe the beauty of him/her, cause it's too blinding to be described.

And even with all those parts beyond perfection that Allah has made you, you still walk on this earth like you are the most grotesque creature ever, humiliated with yourself, thinking that you'll never be with those who have your promise. Promise of Heaven.

And what do you think I feel, having you as my own? To have and to hold, to love and to cherish. I promise, I'll bring you to Jannah. I'll guide you, and you'll guide me with your never ending perfect flaws and beauty. Together, insyaAllah.

Breaking The Habit

Breaking a habit is one of the toughest thing to do, I think. Just imagine, you have been doing something for so long, and all of a sudden you are forced to change it. Cause it's bad for you. The same also goes to your sleeping and eating habits. How would you react to it? And no, you are not expected to change abruptly, but the change must exist. Some will say, 'I'll start tomorrow' and they never do. Some will say 'Oh I can do that' and still haven't change a bit. Some will say 'InsyaAllah, i'll get to it' (or in my case 'okay Ma' :p) and will start taking tiny teeny baby steps towards the change.

It's safe to say that I did change some of my habits, those un ladylike habits hahaha (Alhamdulillah) but you have to keep an eye in it, the old habit could be slowly creeping in yknow! Like the famous saying goes: Old habits die hard. Yeah, they certainly do. All it takes is some perseverance and istiqamah :)

and my current habit to change is: taking of my socks and just let it lay on my bedroom floor like two distorted snakes. My mum just hates it. Haha. It's been a while so I think it's time to actually get to it. But i dunno whether I am to succeed or not cause I'll be going back to UTP soon and its not like UTP have a 'downstairs' that I can leave my dirty socks at. I'll just be putting them somewhere safe. Like... on the floor. Hahahaha. Okay no.


It's hot like summer: alhanasabrina


p/s: I'm wondering... am I being too easy, or this is just how it works?

Ikan Emas, jangan diambil serius

Hinakah aku di mata engkau? Sampaikan kau sanggup pergi, meninggalkan ku, setelah kau robek kesemuanya milikku. Ya, kau pergi, meninggalkan aku dengan tiada kredit di telefon, tiada bunga di hatiku, tiada senyuman di bibirku. Engkau tahu bukan, aku tiada nyawa andai telefonku tiada isinya? Alangkah pahitnya hatimu, sepahit kopi kaw kaw yang engkau selalu minum. Padah minum setiap hari agaknya, perlaku kopi itu telah menjadi sebati dengan dirimu.

Kisah ini mungkin dibuat buat, malah mungkin ia benar. Di celah jari jari gemukku menaip perkataan demi perkataan bahasa melayu mudah ini, pasti tampil sedikit kebenaran walaupun ia mengarut.

Punggungku dilabuhkan ke atas kerusi, berdoa agar ia tidak rebah menyembah bumi. Perutku berkeroncong. Hatiku degil, masih belum mahu menerima kenyataan yang engkau telah pergi selamanya. Itulah mesej yang otakku berkali kali cuba sampaikan, tetapi hati ku ini tetap tidak mahu mendengar. Aku biarkan sahaja kedua dua mereka itu bertelagah kerana perutku menjerit meminta diisi.

Tanganku pantas menyelak buku terbaru hasil Fixi, aku mengeluh sebentar. Ah, terlampau tinggi bahasa melayu yg mereka guna. Aku melirik ke arah buku tersebut berkali kali namun tidakku faham maksud penulis penulis cerpen itu, terutamanya Ridhwan Saidi. Apa jenis anak melayu aku ni? Sedangkan maksud borjuis pun tidak ku tahu, jauh sekali menggunakannya dalam ucapan seharian. Terlampau biasa dengan drama drama fiksyen inggeris agaknya.

Detikan jam Swatch pemberianmu mengejutkan aku dari khayalku. Sudah dibuai mimpi aku rupanya. Mana tidak nya, tidurku setiap hari hanya maksima 4 jam sahaja. Itu pun jika tidak disuruh membuat kerja kerja remeh yang lain. Mujur aku dibayar extra time, kalau tak, ah, jangan harap aku nak jadi kuli kau.

Mataku meliar mencari rupa parasmu. Mana engkau menghilang? Dari sedih, bertukar risau, bertukar marah. Hanya mesej pemberianmu menjadi penemanku ketika ini. 'Sekejap tau'. Kepala hotak kau sekejap. 3 jam aku sudah menunggu. Malah telah habis satu buku aku baca, walau tidak ku faham seluruhnya. Boleh pergi dari Ipoh ke KL dah ni. Ok, mungkin aku sengaja menghiperbolakan pemergianmu pada awal penulisanku ini, tapi itulah wanita. Risau tak terkira, cemburu tak bertempat. Tapi aku bukan cemburu, aku hanya risau. Positif yang engkau takkan curang denganku bersama perempuan lain. Jika ya, engkau pasti tidak akan memilih aku dari awalnya, ya bukan?

Sudahlah. Lebih lama aku menulis, lebih banyak merepek aku salurkan kedalam otak pembaca. Maaf ya. Aku bosan, dan juga kemaruk kopi. Bukan air kopi itu ya, Kopi cerpen dari Fixi itu. Jaga kau Ridhwan Saidi, tulisan kau dah menular ke dalam otakku, tapi kau terlampau hebat untukku tewaskan. Minta tunjuk ajar, sifu.

Sekian: alhanasabrina

Good good

What a good day today, I think. Alhamdulillah. Despite having non stop headache since... err 4 pm?, I just had a good day today :)

My day started of with my tennis lesson at 11. And the low blood just won't shut down, so I had to play still altho my visions were black and white towards the end of the game. It's just very inconvenient. Shoot me.


I had these for the first time! And I thought it was a little bit too sweet, but overall I just loved it. But I am going to take a break from McD for a while. Uhmm, just because :)

Drove to somewhere for the first time, and it was fun. Had a wonderful rendezvous and lunch :) Altho idk why i was being a tad quiet all the way thru, I guess I'm just shy. Hahahahahaha. No. I'm tired, I guess.

Came home, argued sisterly w my sister, slept a little. Tried the new body wash and lip scrub that my bestfriend posted to me (love you! hihi) and felt all bubbly inside. *insert blissfull emoticon here* Read Room a little bit (wondering why i am taking so long to finish it) and just lied down on my bed, half awake. Turned on the aircond cause I wanted to (gosh I love airconds!) and rushed to send off ayah somewhere. Hang in my sister's room, laugh excitedly to the minions, they are just too cute and funny! Watched a little bit of Sungha, K-Pop and Glee.

And then here I am, in my room, colder than ever with the lullaby on. I love it. Cause sometimes my room tend to be hotter than the living room (I wonder why).

Bye! Im gonna finish Room tonight, by hook or by crook. Hihi I hope I got that right.

VAGUE

Feeling like writing something cheesy

Ask me questions, I'll answer
Not the correct answer, but I'll answer truthfully
It's the matter of do you get it, or not

Some things are better left unsaid,
Or said, while you were fast asleep
Cause those were the exact words that I wanted to say

I'm lucky
Lucky enough to ever feel this way -  again
But this time, it's with you
Couldn't say it, on how lucky I feel
I fear that it might hurt you
But if it's the truth, it'll come out someday
Just you wait

I cry in awe, on how other people write their blogs
I wanna be at par with em
And, a girl can only try :)

Current read: ROOM by Emma Donoghue

I'll keep the sweets for later; alhanasabrina ;)

Comparison

Cool Blog, Chatime and Gong Cha.

Just a simple post, tribute to my love for the pearls. Lol.

Coolblog? Used to be my addiction, cause it's the only ice blended drink that is available near to UTP that has pearls innit. I used to drink cup-bon from wangsa walk behind my house. I always have vanilla, cause it's my favourite.

But now I tried Chatime's Pearl Milk Tea and just recently Gong Cha's Milk Tea with Pearl. And I liked Chatime's pearl better cause it's bigger I think. But Gong Cha has this preference for your sugar and ice content which is good, I think? And Gong Cha's tea have this more herb taste innit. Or maybe the taste came up cause I asked for less sugar? Dunno.

Anyhoo, I think I'll stick to Chatime. Hehehehe. Except if im stuck in KLCC and im dying to have the pearl. Or the milk tea. Or else I just can go to mamak Pelita and order, 'ane, teh susu ais satu!' (altho I never liked it anyway) Lol you may say im a trend follower but it's actually nice, the drinks. Just don't drink so often cause i think it's a lil bit pricey for just iced milk tea. With pearls. Lol.

FIXI


Pheww. Just finished reading Pecah by Khairulnizam Bakeri. I took quite some time to finish this, cause usually I will take like 2 or 3 hours to finish one book. This one? Several days. Haha. Don't even ask why. I guess I got caught up with other things instead of reading cause I've been stuck w two of those before. It's called Cekik and Zombijaya. Also from Fixi.

Oh wait, do you now what Fixi is actually? Haaa. I'm a newb myself. I just learned about them when a friend of mine lend me his book, Cekik. So that's my first fixi book. (if you want to start reading Fixi, please don't start with that. When you read it you'll know why) After that i'm hooked. You can know more about Fixi by clicking here. It's a novel publisher, and I think anyone can hand in their masterpiece with certain rules. First, the title of the book must be only one word. And the number of words must be around 60,000. I really salute those who can write this malay novels. Totally. If you read some of the Fixi books, you'll be astonished on how the writer even thought about the plot or words that he/she wrote innit. (or maybe it's just me, cause im such a noob on powerful malay words. sigh)

Another reason why i'm hooked on this Fixi collections is Kopi. It's a book too, but it's actually compilations of short stories from random writers. One of em is Redza Minhat. Now you know why ;)

I went to UIA Gombak the other day to buy it cause it's sold out online. God know how happy I felt when I got my hands on that book. Ahhh. Bought Kelabu and Bisik too! There are others that I didn't buy like Tabu, Invasi, Jerat, Kougar, Kasino and Dendam cause I thought the titles are too negative. Lol. Truth is all of their books mostly gonna portray a slightly bad example to kids but in the end their message is clear. Ey, better some good than nothing right? Plus, their covers are awesome. Just look at Pecah. Wait till you see Jerat's or Zombijaya's cover. Oh Bisik's cover is the face of a cat. Cool ey?


Well this is the full list of Fixi books right now. There will be more to come, and i'll be more than glad to read all of em. OH ANOTHER IMPORTANT THING you should really know, it's cheapppppp :D Like, the usual english novel will cost you how much, 30? 40? Even one hunger games book costs Rm 42.90. Well this Fixi books, the price starts from RM 15! Cool right?

Hee. I'm getting excited talking and writing that I didn't look at the time. It's 3.26 am. Thank god tomorrow's a Sunday. But I have a wedding to attend to. Better get to bed.

Oh another thing, they're gonna make a movie out of Zombijaya and Pecah. Zombijaya will be called KL Zombie and it'll star Izara Aishah. I think they're filming it right now. Pecah, i guess the movie would be awesome if they did it right. The plot's just amahh-zinggg. Haha.

Risk



Everything you do in life is a risk. Like entering a new school. Picking a course that you don't actually know anything about. Moving to a new town. Meeting new people. Saying things about yourself in your interview. Making jokes. Sitting for an exam. Buying clothes. Trying a new flavour from your usual bubble tea shop. Entering a competition eventho you know that you are already good enough innit. Even that, it's a risk. Trying bungee jumping. Eating a new type of food. Going someplace new. And falling in love.

You may say you're scared to do them. What if you fail? What if you chicken out the last minute? What if people laugh at you? What if it's temporary? What if you don't like it? What if you can't fit in? What if you don't look good innit? What if he's not the one for me? All of these nerve wrecking questions (and more) starts to enter your mind once you start to take a risk. And those thoughts lead you to uncertainty and second thoughts. Which is, at certain times, badddddddd.

The part were people missed out are the thoughts that are actually positive. People nowadays spend so much time worrying about things that they don't notice the positive thoughts that flooded their mind at the same time the negative does. What if you succeed? What if you act brave? What if people support you? What if it's there to stay? What if you love it? What if the people likes you? What if you look your best innit? What if he's the one for you? 

And all of those questions (and more) won't be answered if you don't take risks. Even the tiniest things, like trying a new cookie. Or wearing a green pants. It's new, it's weird to you, but what if you might actually like it? What if it brings more good than bad? Then you could go on in life regret-free and be happy with it. And OF COURSE, this only applies to things that are not against your religion, your belief, or your parents' orders. And for those who are married, you husbands' orders too. Haha. Try stuffs, but there are limits to it, of course.

I'm saying this to all of you to comfort myself actually. Cause I am scared. And right now I need to focus more on my positive thoughts more, but still, considering my negative ones. Fear is not a bad thing, it's just your nervous system looking out for you :)

Just read Arre's blog right here, and decided that I wanna share my current lullaby too! Hihi. Here it is :)

p.s: Oooouh talking about RISK, i wanna play the board game. anyone wanna teach me? Hihi
