Save Our Yesterdays

It's 2012, and I still listen to this song.



I'm loving you tomorrow, loving you today and saving all our yesterdays
I'm letting all your sunshine bringing out the smile in me
I can take you out to Paris, fly away to Rome
*lepas tu takleh tangkap da apa dia nyanyi :p*

Wordless Wednesday: The Gals

Yeay!

One of the besties joined a contest some time ago and today, she told me she won the contest! I personally like her post though (might be a bit biased here, okay not just a bit, by this bucket load *hand gestures* haha!) You can check out her post here. The reason why I was so excited when she told me not just cos I was happy for her, also cos the post was about us nine at that time (errr). Anyhoo, I haven't seen some of them for a long time and reading her post really made me missing them even more! hoho~ tahniah la ye cik aini :D

Notice I've renamed this blog? The posts were mostly on where I've gone to recently so I came up with another catchy name, well at least for me it's quite catchy, no? haha! I've also been thinking to renovate the blog for weeks (grrr~) but but but I haven't got the slightest idea yet. I've thought about using AJAX cos I think it's quite cool but I don't think Blogger has the feature just yet. What a letdown. Think I'll start with the header first. One step at a time, no?

Ah this weekend, I have nothing going on cos mainly I don't have much money on me. Besides, I've been feeling under the weather since last Thursday. Hopefully, I will feel better before Monday. I hate to go down with a fever. Sleeping all the time, taking meds, so not cool. The last time I had fever was last January and that time, I didn't even lay in my bed. In fact, I went all the way to Shah Alam under those circumstances just to watch the guys play futsal haha!

But next weekend, definitely the Weekenders have something to do haha! Take care, people! :)

P?S: Sesuka hati je nak kasi nama2 kat diorang ni. Retards la, Weekenders la, tapi lagi sedap dari retards tu la kan haha! :p

It's been a while since I posted something on here. Don't have the time to update these days, like my family used to say to me, 'ye la, orang da berkerjaya la katekan. haha!' yeah, right.

Actually, I've been having a rough time these days. But hey, I'm not going to babble them out here. I want to keep the blog free from negativities :p nah, I may post rants at times but not that frequent like I used to haha!

*Cut the crap and get on with the story* Oh yes, on Sunday last week, a friend's sister was getting married and she invited me. So me and one of my besties attended the wedding. The best shot that day was this one, which is my favourite :p

We met some of the schoolmates there. My bestie couldn't remember some of them haha! My eyes were almost popped out cos I was so shocked that she actually forgot some of her schoolmates haha! It was fun though. As always, I didn't talk much. Just enjoy listening to the others. Maybe I'm one of those who listen. When I talk, usually it will come out wrong. At times, people get me wrong. I'm not good with words, so I better shut up rather than say anything. Ah well, spent too much time at the wedding and got home 4 hours later. Luckily the daddy wasn't home by the time I got home haha!

Actually, I've been missing those retards. Next week, I'll be seeing some of them I guess haha! *kecoh*

I feel like singing my heart out you know. The last time I went for a round was when everyone had sore throat and I was the only one who didn't suffer the same thing. Good timing? ahaha!

Recycle

I think everyone should make recycle as a habit. At home, my mom put two boxes for recyclable containers like glass bottles, milk cartons, cereal boxes after we've cleaned them up if we were the last one to use them. Doesn't take much of your time really. Instead of throwing them in the bin, why not toss them in a separate bin? The purpose of separating the recyclables and rubbish is to make the Uncle Indah Water's job easier. He already knew which one is which from the sound of them. Not only that, you also helped to save the environment by not contributing to the landfills. So go green! :D

P/S: I really hate to see someone throw away any kinds of small litter outside the window of a car, bus or any vehicle. Feels like picking it up and throw it back to the thrower's face! Pfftt~

Bersawang-sawang

Today I didn't think of you
Today was alright
I had a lot of things to do
I was moving on with my life

But now I need
Some answers, some answers
I'm tired and I'm getting weak
Some answers, some answers

I only miss you when I'm dreaming
That's why I don't wanna close my eyes
Tell me why you only hurt me when I'm sleeping
The only time I can't put up a fight is when I'm dreaming

Another hour passes by
It's gonna be a long night ahead
Cos it feels you creeping up inside my mind
Everytime I look at my bed

But now I need
Some answers, some answers
I'm tired and I'm weak
Some answers, some answers

I only miss you when I'm dreaming
That's why I don't wanna close my eyes
Tell me why you only hurt me when I'm sleeping
The only time I can't put up a fight

Dreaming
The only time I can't live without you
Dreaming
I can't let you go

I only miss you when I'm dreaming
That's why I don't wanna close my eyes
Tell me why you only hurt me when I'm sleeping
The only time I can't control my mind
And the only time I can't put up a fight
I miss you when I'm dreaming

Miss You When I'm Dreaming by Westlife

Stop! I know what you're thinking. The song does not justify the reason of my absence in the world wide web haha! It's just a song I came across the other day while digging up my library. It's quite nice to the ears, as always :p Whenever I'm listening to the song, I will usually say those things come to your mind cos you still haven't let go of them. Just give yourself a chance to start over something new and leave the troubled times behind. Why let small things stop you from moving forward eh? If you really have gotten over them, they won't come creeping up in your dreams surely?

Ah anyway, I've been feeling a little under the weather since last Saturday but I refused to stay in bed and take my meds haha! The only thing I can't do right now is sing. Actually, I can sing but with much difficulty and someone is bound to laugh at me cos of my 'lovely' voice haha! But I still sing anyway haha!

Take care, everyone. It's the 'fever season' haha!

Terrified

You set it again, my heart's in motion
Every word feels like a shooting star
I'm at the edge of my emotions
Watching the shadows
Burning in the dark
And I'm in love and I'm terrified
for the first time and the last time
In my only life

Terrified by Katherine McPhee ft Zachary Levi

I personally prefer the version with Zachary Levi, I think his voice is quite nice (prolly biased cos he plays Chuck gahahaha!) Plus, I think the song's kinda nice too. Really soothing to the ears ehe I feel like I'm feeling every word of the lyrics hahah!

Anyway, sorry for the lack of quality posts ahaha! It's just that I don't really have the time right now to put up a nice post. So, enjoy the err, song (if you want to :p)

A good day?

My eyes are glued.
My lips are chapped.
My legs are prickling.
And plus I'm stinky today.

How can I date someone with a face like that?
I know yoú're gonna dump me again,
And I am gonna cry.

Cause you want a perfect girl,
And I'm not what you expect.
You want a perfect girl,
And I look shitty today.

Maybe I should put some makeup,
And find some crazy outfits.
But I am very tired today
And I don't care if I'm not pretty

Shitty Day by Soko

Exactly how I feel everytime I've gone out with my friends. Always there would be something wrong with me. Anyway, that's not the point. I've just discovered some new songs, thanks to Hemie. I think Soko's kinda cool although I'm not amused by some of the lyrics of her songs but her cheerful and freestyling voice negate the lack of amusement. Still, a number of them are quite enjoyable. For me at least, haha!

Improve English

English is still a language that some people have actually learned at school but just can't quite get the hang of it. Cos like learning BM, we have to read more, talk more and write more. But cos of BM is the language for the natives, so it doesn't matter as long as people can understand what you're saying.

On the other hand, people always say 'Talk in English even if the grammar is all over the place'. Now, that's the spirit but this will never improve your language skill. People often say this to be more confident even if they are not fluent in the language. However, people always say that when asked how to improve their English. Meh. Yes, it's alright if you've made some mistakes but you need to learn from them to improve, no? If you don't know what's wrong with your English, then how are you gonna improve it? Duhhh

I'm not ashamed to admit, whenever I feel like typing something in English but I'm not sure whether it's grammatically correct or not, I will check it using Word grammar check or even Google it. Watch a movie without a subtitle can also improve your English, in a way.

There's this one friend of mine. Long ago, her English was average. Realizing she needed to improve, she often asked me to check her grammar and vocabulary. After a while, I noticed she had improved her grammar but still struggled a lil bit with her vocab, but hey, there was still an improvement there. Quite impressive, I should say. Ever since then, I have always admired her eagerness (if only I'm like that)

I'm lucky to have parents who are fluent in English. They encouraged me to speak in English when it's possible, bought me storybooks, searched for good movies to watch, corrected my grammar and many more. Still, I didn't rest on my laurels. I searched on the net if I have doubts in my grammar. Even this post, I will read it two or three times so that I can detect any vocabulary or grammar mistake.

This post is not actually to brag my English cos hey, I'm still learning too you know. I get a little annoyed when I came across some people who know they're not good with the language but refuse to improve it. I mean, you read and listen to English everyday, how can you not improve it, even a slightest bit? Says a lot about their attitude really. Heh
