Kucing

Currently... : can't quit smiling for some unknown reason... maybe because I don't have any more test coming up! yippie!

Current location: on my comfy bed.

Current music: "Ku yakini, nikmat yang kau beri, Segalanya padamu kan kembali..."

Do you believe in fairy tales? I don't. Well I did but that was a very loooonggg time ago. Maybe because I've outgrown believing anything that's not real. But I do read stories when I was a kid. My father likes to buy story books and I love to read them back then. Most of the story books were from classic children fairy tales such as Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, Snow White and many many more. But one thing that I can't seem to understand is that all of the characters are white! There's not much difference among each fairy tales. All of them are white or Caucasian! I'm not trying to sound racist here but I think there's something wrong with that. 

And here is where I want to pick up where I left off. For the past week, I've been watching this documentary on youtube about the arrival of Dajjal or anti-christ, called The Arrivals. And I wanted to share the message that the maker of this documentary trying to relay to its viewers on episode 40. You should watch it yourself as it's too long for me to explain everything. Mainly because I'm lazy, and all of you already knew that...pffftt...Well, watch it! It's not necessary just for Muslims only, but all human race can watch, no matter what religion. It's very informational and might just wake us up from this long dream that seems to never end.

The main message that they wanted to say is that we are made by the Creator in this world, into many people's and tribes so that we can learn about one another... So back to my previous story, I heard someone said

"Assalamualaikum,"

I was really taken aback by this sudden voice. The owner of the voice is an African man, who was walking behind me before the cats greeted me, and he was smiling when he watched me play with the cats. So he asked me,

"What do you call this (points at the cats) in your language?"

Now as you all might know by now, I'm a Sarawakian so, the first thing that came to my mind is the word 'pusak', meaning cat. But thankfully I didn't blabbed it out loud and immediately answered,

“It’s kucing!” and I smiled back at him albeit warily.

And then he said, “We called it _______ (sorry! For the life of me, I can’t remember what he said!) in my language,” before he left. 


It sounded a bit like ‘tupeika’ or something like that, I honestly don’t know. But that was one of the most random, most unexpected situation that has ever occurred in my life, here in upm. And somehow it made me happy to communicate with a race other than my own. I wish I could interact more with foreigners and learn more about their culture. The only problem though is that I’m very timid and wouldn't even speak to my own friends unless they speak to me first! Aiyo!! 

O by the way, my cat, Puteh is still missing! :(

Another shot of my cat... I really missed her so much! T.T

Puteh, during her rebellious, 'childhood' years... or months 

:(

curiosity actually saved the cat!

Currently: wondering when I'm gonna open my book and cram.
Current location: in my dorm room.
Current Music: closer to the edge!

Finally! The internet is up and running like how it was suppose to be. I've been here for almost 2 months and I'm quite annoyed with the lack of internet all this while. It's especially hard for me to find information and... stuff when I most needed it. But, now I'm truly happy so thanks upm!

So for 2 days straight we've been having exam and I think I'm ready to explode! It's annoying when you have 2 papers on the same day, but complaining won't do any good so the best bet is to study. Yet I'm glad that I've completed 3 exam and only 2 more to come, although I think it's gonna be really hard for me as it's also the month of Ramadan. 

Speaking of Ramadan, it has been day 3 of fasting for Muslims and only 27 more to go until Syawal. I can't wait! Though I'm not going back to Sibu to celebrate Eid with friends and families, instead I will be here with my parents and my brother. It'll be my first time Raya-ing outside of Sarawak. Wonder how it will be...hmmm... I'll report back when that time comes.

Ramadan brings back so many things... memories of the past and also strange situations that sometimes just appeared out of nowhere. Like yesterday. I was going back to my room from the cafe when 3 cute cats greeted me playfully. So I was playing with them when suddenly, a voice from behind saying "Assalamualaikum"...

... Wanna know the rest? I'll update on my next blog post... he he he :D


Need to go to class, NOW! Until then, bye!

He he he

Currently: hungreh!
Current location: library
Current Music: the amazing Maher Zain

Remember the abang that I told you in previous post who works in the cafe where I live? Well, he's back! Last night, I was ordering drinks, again at the same place and wondering just where that abang was. At first I didn't see him , so I was just minding my business and waiting for my drinks. But when it's time to take my receipt, guess who were responsible to hand it to me? Yes, it's that same abang! I kept on waiting for him to give the receipt but he didn't look like he's going to anytime soon. But after a few moments of staring (mostly him staring), he gave it to me.

A friend of mine were also buying drinks form the same stall and after we left, she said to me that the abang asked her about me. He asked where I'm from and whether I'm a chinese or malay. Phew! That was totally unexpected. But the staring part was quite creepy. He just looked at me and holding on to my receipt refusing to give it to me even when I asked about it, until his co-worker finally told him to. But he's cute though! I really don't mind it! he he he!

Hellish week

Currently: finished reading Naruto 505! love it!
Current Location: home!
Current music: You were the only face I'd ever known. I was the light from the lamp on the floor, and only as bright as you wanted me to be

It's Friday! And I love Friday due to many reasons but mainly because of these:

• I ain't got no class today :)
• It's the holiest day of the week.
• I can rest without worrying about waking up extra late.
• It marks the end of a hellish week (before the start of another hellish week?)

So this week was hell for me as I have multiple assignments to finish, and I'm quite sure that next week is going to be exactly the same, except that not only I have to finish my works, we have exams too. Huhu... I don't know if I can survive or not. Hope I'll make it thru' next week in one piece ya!

A couple of unforgettable thing happened early this week. One involved me and this very handsome abang at my cafe and the other involved 3 handsome foreigner students. 

So I was at the cafe to order drinks, and I ordered 'Kopi ais, tapau satu' (one iced coffee, takeaway) to the abang (guy) that's behind the counter. But the abang misheard me and asked me with shocked eyes, "Did you just said 'kopi ais limau??". And I just wanted to laugh out loud by that. But that abang is handsome, so I just smiled and said "kopi ais, bungkus la bang!". Imagine what a certain kopi ais limau (iced lemon coffee) would taste like... I can't.

And yesterday, me and 2 of my friends were at the library, just doing our work  when suddenly, this horrifying effing sound just echoes throughout the whole corner of the library. I think time stopped right at that moment and I looked at my friends to contemplate on what just happened. I didn't dare to turn around (as my back was facing them) to see who dare to fart (very loudly mind you!) in the frickin' library. But I couldn't hold my curiosity and I saw that they were actually 3 foreigner and one of them was responsible for it. They were laughing to each other and quite loud. Luckily everyone (at least I think that it's everyone) pretended like nothing happens and just move on with their life. That was one of the funniest moment in my life!

Beautiful music

Currently: too stiff to move. I've been online since, too long... :p

I have no actual post today but I just wanna share this beautiful song by Matt Hires called O Sunrise.

Sunrise oh, sunrise

Look in my eyes

'Cause I know you can see

Oh, I know you can see

Swallow the darkness

And color the sky

'Cause I want to believe

Oh, I want to believe

And lift up your head

'Cause I need you to hold me

I need you to sing me your song

And lift up your head

Oh, the night's long and lonely

And nothing's the same when you're gone

Oh, nothing's the same when you're gone

Ohhh woaaah

Sunrise oh, sunrise

You sail through the sky

Like a ship on the sea

Like a ship on the sea

And breathing your light on

The clouds passing by

Won't you breathe it on me

Won't you breathe it on me

And lift up your head

'Cause I need you to hold me

And you've been away for so long

And lift up your head

Oh, the night's long and lonely

And nothing's the same when you're gone

Oh, nothing's the same when you're gone

Ohhh wooooah

Nightime oh, nightime

Oh, what will you say?

Now the dawn's shining bright

Will you just walk away?

Will you whipser my name

From some darkened doorway?

And try to hide in my shadow, 

And cover my face?

Oh but I want to see us

And I want to see

So sunrise oh, sunrise

Keep shining on me

Singing ohhh ohhhh ohhhh

Keep shining on me

And lift up your head

'Cause I need you to hold me

And you've been away for so long

And lift up your head

Oh, the night's long and lonely

And nothing's the same when you're gone

And lift up your head

Oh, I need you to hold me

And you've been away for so long ohh

Lift up your head

Oh, the night's long and lonely

And nothing's the same when you're gone

Oh, nothing's the same when you're gone

Sunrise oh, sunrise

Look in my eyes

'Cause I know you can see

Oh, I know you can see
