I Get By With A Little Help From My Friends.



First of all, my whole life, I'm so thankful that I've been blessed with so many great friends. Friends who helped me through the years. Shared the ups and downs of my life. Without all of you I wouldn't be where I am right now. Ever since I was in the kindergarten up until now, i've always had such nice friends, ones that will stand by me no matter what. (see even 6year olds know what loyalty means).

Today, I would like to talk about my bestfriend Faraha. I first met her when we were in MRSM Jasin. We were among the few people yang register quite lambat from everyone else. I remember the first time she said hi to me, it was outside the office. Then we met again at the dorm, her room was on the opposite wing from mine. Masa tu we were both veryyy homesick, and we wanted to go back home ever so badly for the weekend. We talked and lound out that we mostly like the same things, same music, (and i remember being so excited when i knew she read sweet valley too :) ) we went back together that weekend, with her dad, and my family met hers in her house in Taiping:)

Eversince then, we were the best of friends. I remember her cream coloured walkman she just can't live without! We used to take long walks around maktab during riadah time. And we would just talk about everything. Mostly about how we hate Jasin, and how crappy that place was, and how homesick we were, and about our crushes =)) And we would keep our fingers crossed, hoping that we would bump into this guy in red shirt or sometimes grey/silver jacket, that we both had a major crush on back then! ;) (PLEASE NOTE THE PAST TENSE USED)

There was this one time I bought a DIY book rack, Fara and Nisa' helped me with it, and after it was done, both of them wrote some things at the back of the rack, which i still have until now;)

~ although penyataan di atas hujung kanan itu tidak betul sama sekali haha ~


Then when we were in form 5, we were in the same room, with Nisa' and Sherah. Our beds were next to each other. She had a picture of Prince William pinned to her board ;) She gave me the nickname Farinh ;) Fara used to like teh ais hehe, we used to buy nasi goreng plus ayam from the cafe after prep, and we would eat together. Every Sunday, during inspection, we were the only ones left in the room, and we would crack jokes or make funny faces to those standing opposite from our room :) And after that we would use our super speed ability to attack nasi lemak cafe. Every night we would have Ta'lim at our block, and when it was our room's turn to host it, you can see Fara stuffing all her stuff into the locker so that her place would nampak kemas! (okei fine i do that too =P ).

This is how messy our room can get =))
spotted : Faraha's sejadah. My bottle of coke. Tong sampah=))


But what i remember most of all about Faraha is that she was always there for me. I think I cried every single day for a very long time for the first few weeks I was there. But she stood by me, she told me I was strong, and that we would help each other go through it. She was one of the few reasons why I stayed in Jasin until the end. She's smart, she's funny, she's caring and just wonderful in every way. And I love her :) And I wanna thank her for giving me a really great and memorable time in high school, and for helping me through it all. You're my bestfriend then, and always will be forever:) Eventhough we're miles apart now, I want you to know that you've already earn a special place in my heart:) I wish you all the best in life, and may you always be strong, and be happy, and have everything you wish for. may you always smile that sweet smile of yours and may you have a wonderful family in the future with the one you love, and have lots of little Faraha for Aunty Farinh to spoil and manjakan ;)


-bff-

and i remember her favourite song dulu was Elton John's "Your Song", and so I would like to dedicate it to you my darling Faraha, hugs and kisses, Farinh;)

It's a little bit funny, this feeling inside
I'm not one of those who can easily hide
I don't have much money, but if I did,
I'd buy a big house where we both could live.

If I was a sculptor, but then again no,
Or a man who makes potions in a traveling show,
I know it's not much but it's the best I can do,
My gift is my song yeah, and this one's for you.

And you can tell everybody, this is your song
It may be quite simple but now that it's done,
I hope you don't mind, I hope you don't mind,
That I put down in words,
How wonderful life is while you're in the world.

I sat on the roof and kicked off the moss,
Well a few of the verses well they've got me quite cross,
But the sun's been quite kind while I wrote this song,
It's for people like you that keep it turned on.

So excuse me forgetting, but these things I do
You see I've forgotten if they're green or they're blue
anyway, the thing is, what I really mean
Yours are the sweetest eyes I've ever seen.

And you can tell everybody, this is your song,
It may be quite simple but now that it's done,
I hope you don't mind, I hope you don't mind,
That I put down in words,
How wonderful life is while you're in the world.

As Time Goes By.

This is one of those moments when you feel like writing, but don't really know what to write about...

I just had my sahur at home. How nice is that. For once this Ramadhan I wouldnt have to wake up and think about what to eat. For once I don't even have to set my alarm to wake me up for I have my mother to do that and it's much much much more nicer. For once I don't have to sahur bertemankan The Suite Life Of Cody on Disney Channel (and my roomie ofcourse hehe) For once, when I wake up food is already on the table, with loving faces around it. And for this, and so much more, I thank God. Distance makes you appreciate things. Simple things. Things you take for granted.

I got an email from this "penpal" of mine. I knew him from his blog, and I fell in love with his writings (I didn't even know that it was even possible). And so I emailed him, and to my delight he replied. And we've been emailing each other whenever we could ever since. The best thing about it is that it's nothing romantic. We would just tell each other random things. Share news of our mundane lives. It's...comforting, somehow. Thanks Z :)

I had one of those long talks with my Dad yesterday in the car. I think I just became a little bit mature when suddenly listening to him talk, I felt like I just can't wait to work and have a proper income, so that I could support my parents and family. So that he won't have to worry bout anything anymore. Please God, help me make this noble thought of mine come true. And let me always still feel this way no matter what happens, because I've seen how money and love can change people for the worse, and it scares the living light out of me. I just want them to always be happy. And give them everything that they want, just as they have given me everything growing up. So help me God. Amiin

The Girl Who Can't Be Moved.

"Because if one day you wake up and find that you're missing me
And your heart starts to wonder where on the earth I could be
I'm thinking maybe you'd come back here to the place that we'd meet
And you'd see me waiting for you on the corner of the street
So, I'm not moving..."

Help!

"Awfull happens all the time, try not to let it kill you."
-Jason Mraz-


memang byk kelebihannya kalau study kat Indonesia ni. patutla JPA hantar kat sini.

x penah2 merasa ribut taufan, we experienced it last year.

x penah2 dapat Hepatitis A smpai masuk hospital, half the batch got it from here some time back.

x penah2 rasa earthquake, semalam dah rasa. we were having skillslab, and then suddenly the doctor looked alarm, pointing towards the moving curtains. we didnt get it at first. but then the room shook, and that was when everyone started panicking and ran out of the building. apparently it was a huge one. but luckily our area was not that affected.

x penah2 kena halau balik, few days back ada demonstration by Indonesian students from whatever hell faculty ntah, telling us to pack our bags and head home, in a very not polite way ofcourse. I'd be more than happy to oblige but why should we give in to these so called lameass protesters anyway. they just have too much free time on their hands i guess. baik sorang come and help me do proposal for my thesis :D

i don't really care much about this before, but when you're away from your homeland, you automatically become sensitive to what people is saying about your country. You somehow become defensive, patriotic, protective...

i don't understand why they're making a big deal out of what tarian belongs to who, who stole what culture, or what crap. how can you even claim culture? why don't they use the time to think about world peace instead. for heaven's sake, we're all living temporarily on God's land, why can't we just get along? Gosh grow up ppl! Can't you tell I'm this close to losing it?

i can do this. i can do this. i can do this.

sikittttttttt lagi, dah nak balik, bersabarlah.

Ebony And Ivory
song by Paul McCartney
We all know
That people are the same wherever you go
There is good and bad in everyone
We learn to live, we learn to give each other
What we need to survive
Together alive.
Ebony and Ivory
Live together in perfect harmony,
Side by side on my piano keyboard,
Oh Lord, why don't we?
