What I can See & can't see in this picture

In this picture I can see there are Huda,Ayu and Tiqah. They were wearing baju kurung at that time and they looked very happy. At that time they were waiting for other friends to break fast together at masjid compound. There were a lot of foods provided by Kariah Masjid. Behind them there were a lot of people waiting at the table. and some people were walking everywhere. Here,I would like to describe them as good friends who are willing to accept me as what I am. Although I cannot read their mind I can see through their smiling face while taking their picture. This is because I myself took the picture. I think they very friendly and talkative. Huda loves to eat and she never complained about the taste but she would complain if the size of the food is too small. Ayu can be described as “ayu” like her name where as her appearance is neat and presentable. Meanwhile Tiqah is easy going and a polite girl.

I figured in my mind they might want to save money so they break fast at Masjid. They might have plan it earlier so that they could then use the saving on lunch or dinner for the next month. Breaking fast is the most important meal of the day, but they have to forget about Bazar Ramadan if they want to save their money. Not to forget I can see clearly about being slim for this month!. At that time it was very hard to come up with interesting foods during such a tight budget. They shoul be grateful of they have at that time. I did not know what they were thinking at that time. They might be impatient to have the free and delicious foods on the table as soon as as possible. I hope all of you have seen every part of the picture like me or more than me. It might different people might see different things and different view.

No one knows how it,s like

Do you ever feel like to be somebody else?

Like someway you just don't feel right

plus you have been pushed by others

I feel like to escape in my life

I feel like walking in the rain

With the water sound thunderous

So no one hears I am crying

I want to be someone else

Before my life is end up

I am tired of everybody around me

noboby understands me

people might think I'm pleased
But I'm not going to be all right

No one knows how it's like to be like me

Remains of the Moment

Think carefully
like a blue deep ocean
I wish that we had another opportunity
before we decide to say goodbye

I just hope
To feel the calmness like before
To experience the serenity like nature
To sense the peacefulness like nature

I am anxious
Thing will never be same again
It will revolutionize
It will be different
Because
Time never listen to us
Time never arrive back
Time never repeat the same mistake
Time never replicate the same jokes
Time is theft

A moment to remember

We were sailing across the sea
To an island where we meet
You are sitting under the open sky
No one knows how long it takes
Waiting for moment like this
Whenever we declare to leave
We wish we had one more chance
to be there
I‘ll see you there, I’ll meet you there

Dream that would be come true

Girl, I saw you in my dream
I saw you whisper in my dream
Across the ears
Across the memory
We were dancing in my dream

Though everybody says you are not there I still hope you were there
Lucky it was in my dream
Lucky you want to dance with me you were there in my dream
I give a flowerthough no one sees usnobody knows where are youonly me know
Because it’s only dream

When I wake up
I was dancing alone
I just hope that you were therebut
It’s OK
I’m so lucky
We are still friend
Though you break our promises to dance together
Maybe
We still have another chance

You Are Not Alone

You are not alone
believe me
though everybody says that You Look lonely
You still not alone

I was there
though noone sees me
Nobody knows where am I
Only you know
we were dancing together
and I left You alone
Because I was holding my camera
taking Your funny pictures

Remember?
We were there together
with others
but
Only Me see You
Only You see Me
because
Everybody was busy dancing

MY hEavEN

today and everyday

I can,t wait to be there

come on clock

work faster than usual

I want to see the moon

I want to see the star

shining my night

singing with birds

I miss my heaven

My Hometown

the greatest place that I,ve ever been

all my problems will be gone

THE FASTING MONTH

Fasting month is going to end and Eid is just around the corner. I still remember the first day of Ramadan, my friends and I are eager to prepare our own meal. The thing that we planned did not turn out like what we expectated. We just wasted our money to cook and we spoiled the ingredients. We finally bought another food at bazaar.

The preparation for the Eid this year has been done earlier. Last week we went to PKNS to buy a ready made baju kurung. We were there from morning till the time to break fast. As we did not reserve any place at pizza Hut, we ended up breaking fast at Nachos. The foods there were not nice as in the menu but we finished the food as we are so hungry and tired.

This year, I do not have much time to perform solat terawih since my schedule is very pack. I have class to be attended until 10 o’clock. My resolution for this Ramadan is to train myself to be a good Moslem. Fasting is just like preparing me to reduce my food intake as well as improve my health. I will train myself to spend less during this month as much as I could. I used to go to bazaar Ramadan. From my observation, some of sellers use this month as advantage to rise up the foods’ price. Some of the food price is unreasonable. For instance a small jug of air tebu can cost around RM5.

Until today, I still do not have a chance to break fast with my family but I just hope the last 4 days of Ramadan. I miss my mum’s cook very much and I can’t wait to go back to my hometown as soon as possible.

MY FAVOURITE FICTIONAL CHARACTER

My favourite fictional character is Adrian Mole from a story book entitled, “The Secret Diary of Adrian Mole Aged 13 ¾”.While reading the secret diary of Adrian Mole Aged 13 ¾, I encountered a lot of entertaining events from beginning till the end of the story. I feel sympathy with Adrian Mole. He seems to not understand real life circumstances. Although the hint was obviously recognize by readers, he still did not realize that something was wrong; the adulterous relationship of his mother

If I am not mistaken, this story is full of dramatic irony. Thus, it causes a lot of hilarious events where as Adrian did not know what was really going on actually but the readers know better than him. So, in my opinion it is very funny. For instance, one of the passages that indicate the funny action is when Adrian wrote “Mr. Lucas came in this morning to see if my mother needed help in the house. He is very kind. Mrs. Lucas was next door cleaning the outside windows”. In this passage, Adrian did not recognize Mr. Lucas intention. He said Mr. Lucas is very “Kind”. Mr. Lucas was actually interested in Adrian’s mother. However, Mr. Lucas intention was clearly recognized by readers.

Furthermore, another funny thing about Adrian is when he believes that he will be an intellectual poet. He has written a poem to Malcalm Muggendge, c/o the BBC and waiting a reply from him. I feel funny when he compared himself with famous poets. He also said that he could write a poem in two minutes.

I think his poem is insignificant to be compared with the famous poets. In my opinion, Adrian is a creative thinker but in sense that makes it funny and amusing. Though he had not intended to be humorous, his poem humorously describes his father and himself. In addition, as an innocent young teenager, he is always insecure with his appearance and not confident of himself. So he believes that he is an intellectual poet. What I really think is, this story is one of the best books that I ever read because of Adrian’s characteristics.

MY EARLY READING EXPERIENCE

Honestly I did not read much but I force myself to read for the sake of examination. As I remember,during my childhood time, I love reading very much. when I grow up my interest in reading fade away. I do not why, maybe I am a kind of intrinsic motivational person. I just read when something motivate me to do so. I do admit that reading is one way to improve english language proficiency and because of that I am trying my best to motivate myself to read at least magazines, newspaper and simple short stories.

As I reflected back my reading history,it begins at age five. I was keen on reading when I saw symbols and anything that looked like interesting. The first alphabet that I used to know is “Y”. My sister is the person who encourages me to read. She taught me how spell and say the alphabets correctly.

Actually I could not remember my actual age of reading. My sister said that I started to read word by word and later on I started to understand on my own. I still keep my childhood books as my collections. The books are fables around the world, fairy tales and a dictionary with colorful picture.

When my mother sent to kindergarten, I did not face much problem in reading. Thus, I become more enthusiastic in reading. I still remember the fairy tales books such as snow white, Cinderella, beauty and the beast were my favorites reading at that time. Fortunately, my family are very supportive as they kept buying me a lot of books, if not I might be an illiterate person.

I do hope that I will change my attitude and I should remind myself about the importance of reading. I do not want to be left behind just because of lacking in reading. I should realize that reading can bring escapism to our reality life and also for the sake of knowledge.

A CHARACTER FROM THE LISTED WORDS

The light is still on. Din did not switch off the light until morning. There are a lot of papers on his table. At the corner of the room, there was a radio with full of dusty. He decided to repair the radio since last month but he could not make it. So, he called off his intention again and again.

He is a prepared person like a jar of sharpened pencils on his study table. The pencils are always sharp as a preparation for his writing.

As he entered the world of writer, he seldom fulfills his leisure time playing rugby with his friends. It is unsurprised if he forgets how to play rugby a he realized that he did not touch the ball for such long time. He smiled as he flashed back his memory that happened about 10 years ago. His sweet memories are just like his new branded laptop which is expensive and precious for his writing. He did not expect that he will be a writer one day.

The air was cold and chilly. He grabbed his old leather jacket and put on his body. It was his grandmother gift when he was studying in his first year in University Seoul a few years ago. The jacket symbolizes his late grandmother’s love towards him. He could feel the feeling of her love still alive in that jacket. His late grandmother used to be a fortune teller. He still kept the fortune telling cards in his drawer. He could only open it when his age reaches 35. He had to wait for one year more to look at the card.

He clenched his fingers tightly to reduce his anxiety. Out of curiosity, he opened the drawer. His heart beat faster than usual. Then he closed back the drawer. He tried to imagine what would happen to him for the next one year. He opened the drawer again and he found out the card looked like a business card. He took a deep breath to calm down his anger as he thought his granny had cheated him.

WRITING OBSTACLES

As an amateur writer, I always have problem and obstacles in writing. One of the problems is writer’s block. I always stuck and take a long time to recover from the difficulties. This is because I used to think in my mother tongue language and later on translate in English. So in order to train myself to write without stuck, I use my computer to write and try not to think in Malay.

Usually, I have a tendency to jump my idea and this makes my writing disorganized and uninteresting. Some of my sentences and the use of vocabulary are redundant. In order to overcome my problem, I train myself to create a mind map and brainstorm my ideas before writing.

The most problematic area in writing is syntax or sentence structure. I used to write in a complex sentence in order to impress myself. However, this makes my writing become more terrible. Another big problem is grammatical area. This is the most horrible part when it comes to grammar and tenses. Sometimes, I did not use the correct word and my writing will be funny when I read it again.

I do hope that I will improve my writing and able to cope with all the problems. I do believe that I will be one of the good writers. What can I do is to work hard not to give up.

HIGH FIDELITY

WHAT IS THE MOVIE ABOUT?

The movie 'High Fidelity' is about Rob Gordon and his quest to find true love. Sure, the theme may be a bit cliché but trust me when I say that the movie is far from traditional. The movie starts with Rob Gordon lamenting about some music before the audiences are whisked into his turbulence love life. True enough, he is preoccupied with his current girlfriend, or should I say ex-girlfriend, Laura. Then he starts to tell us the story of his Top Five break-up list going through each one until he realizes that the true girl that he really wants is Laura all along. After the death of Laura's father both of them seem to comprehend that they may not be perfect but at least they love each other.

HOW IS IT DIFFERENT FROM COMMON LOVE FICTION?

'High Fidelity' is different from common love fiction. The movie strays from the path that conventional film makers often took. One of the differences that I noticed is that the protagonist need not be perfect in order to win his love. All he has to do is to try. Even if he falls, he need to get back to his feet, reflect on his plans and try again. Almost always we are served a love story in which the 'hero' is a rich, handsome, and has a princely air around him. However, in 'High Fidelity' the supposedly 'hero' is a man who is not the owner of the world's biggest yacht but the owner of a rundown music record. He also has his own satirical humour and his direct approach to life is refreshing.

WHO IS YOUR FAVOURITE CHARACTER AND WHY?

For me, my favourite character will be Laura. I sense an air of endurance about her. she is strong willed and strive to create a better life for herself. She is also a dynamic character. From the movie I can see that she is not perfect. She starts out as a party girl before toning it down to accommodate her life. She has a steady job and wants nothing more than to settle down. She also has a moment of weakness when she found out about Rob's infidelity and abort her baby. However, she is also trying to save her relationship with Rob. Although she has break-up with Rob the death of her father has bring the two of them together again.

PROVIDE AN ALTERNATE ENDING TO THE MOVIE.

For an alternate ending , I preferred that both of them do not get together, yet. Rob may had had too many chances already. He had realise it too late about the value of Laura. She will perhaps starts a new life somewhere in Florida, leaving Ian. In her new life she will meet new people and new surroundings. She will show that she has matured and not the same girl who once crave Rob Gordon's affection. For Rob, he will continue with his own life and becomes the best DJ ever before running to Laura and propose to her.

My new semester

New semester means new assignment will be loading soon...

My 1st day of this semester
It's very tiring
I hate everything that related to the 1st days
the first day is over

Like last semester, i don't have class on monday
I believe this semester won't be much differ than last semester.

I miss my last semester
I had a lot of fun with my previous group mates
because
we're always in the same boat{ferry,bus,train and whatever}
May be
we're born for the same reason
Born to have fun and forced to work..hehe
However...
we did our job very well
especially our "creative project"
but I think our professor didn't like it very much
because none of us get an "A" for this subject

Since Tsl620 is Creative writing
I wish to be more creative
not only for this subject
I also hope to excel in all subjects for this semester..
