Busy busy busy

Ayarkh...I havent update quite long. I've been quite busy at work and when I come back home, dah penat..tak larat nak online apatah lagi sekarang demam AF nih. Kalau online jek, asyik masuk blogs yang cerita pasal AF jek.

Finally today I managed to buy a pair of shoes for my convocation. Huh..tak sangka lak, bila balik umah baru perasan, style sama ngan my sis. Nasib baik warna lain. Bukan niat nak meniru...semuanya tidak disengajakan...huhuh

Anyway, as for AF2, sedih gak Anding kuar but I was more devastated when Fitri went out. Hahha...tak tau kenapa. Even though he wasn't as good as others but I think he made a lot of effort in improving his performance. Tapi yang buat aku nyampah is the fact Nurul is still in the academy. I'm not blaming her. She has nothing to do with the votes. Ini semua salah Astro la nih...bagi total veto kat penonton untuk vote. Natijahnya, pelajar-pelajar yang disukai oleh penonton mendapat undian yang tinggi berbanding mereka yang betul-betul layak. Tapi...nak salahkan pengundi pon tak boleh cos itu duit diaorang nak vote. So, ikut suka diorang la nak vote sapa. Sapa suruh, u all tak vote ur fave student so that he/she will be able to stay longer...

Apa-apapun, nowadays it seems that time flies very fast sebab everyday when I go to work and come back home, I would be so eager to watch AF day by day.

Konvo dah nak dekat. Tak nak tukar keje baru ke??? Ntahla...malas lak....

4th Concert AF2

Fitri wasnt on my top 5. He was never my favourite. But to see him go was a torture to my soul. He left with dignity. He left with so many sweet memories. He made us laugh with his blunt jokes. He made us mad with his 'mind messing' towards the other students. He disguisted us with his ridiculous fashion sense. But those are memories of him in AF2 that I will never forget. AF2 will no longer be the same without him....huhuhuhu

Anyway, my comment on last night concert:-

*Bob-the song suits him well. Tapi honestly, from the last 3 concert, I must say I enjoyed his performance. Have great showmanship. Tapi this week...dia tak berjaya memukau saya lagi. Still...he's on my top 5.

*Nurul-pitching ke laut. Her worst performance so far. Ada sumbang on one or more part of the song. Tak percaya she managed to climb to the top spot selepas abis concert.

*Fitri-his best performance. I enjoyed it very much. The way he handle it when his afro felt down. When he threw the wig to the teachers and they screamed like groupies. Mcm real concert. Suara dia mungkin tak sepower students lain tapi showmanship dia semalam memang high class. It seems that he saved the best for last!

*Linda-her worst performance. Memang tak sesuai nyanyi lagu camtuh. Kaku atas pentas. Time tarik pun hancus. I wasn't at all impressed.

*Anding-dia memang sesuai bawa lagu camnih berbanding pop rock songs. It may also caused by the fact that his inspiration is there and he managed untuk menghayati lagu tuh dengan baik. His best performance. Oh yeah..back-up singers pun bagus. They all should perform a band. The Fantasia Boyzzz....sesueiii....

*Farah-For the first time I enjoyed her performance walaupun mcm tak confident on the dance steps.

*Zahid-ok, this guy can sing. He suprised me concert by concert. He deserves to be in the top 5. Mcm Fitri kata, dia boleh nyanyi banyak jenis lagu, rap, rock, etc.

*Zarina-still, I dislike her facial expression. But vocal wise, yes, she got the voice cuma she reminds me a lot of Rosma and CT.

*Mas-has not develope a full confident yet. Nampak takut-takut atas pentas. Suara ada cuma tak dilontarkan sepenuhnya. Ada juga part dalam lagu, yg dia terlari dari melodi. Kalut.

Adam-no wonder I rooted this guy from day 1. He finaly showed us his true talent. More confident. Another performance that I enjoyed apart from Fitri's. Aznil pon sporting. Cayalah...

My Top 5 as for now...
Kaer
Linda
Adam
Bob
Zahid (dulu Mas, tapi she has not yet captivate me with any of her performance. Sayang sekali....has a lot of potential tapi masih kaku atas pentas)

My First Proper Education

Wow.....tak percaya dah masuk Julai sekarang, How time flies. Another one month, I'll be attending my Graduation Day. The day that will mark the end of my life as a student.

And to commemorate my life as a student for 17 years, I would take the opportunity to recap/flash back the sweet and bitter memories during my school years....

So, today, I'll start dengan bercerita tentang bagaimana aku pertama kali menjejakkan kaki ke sekolah untuk menimba ilmu....here goes....

I first attended school in 1986...kindergarden and I was nearly 5 years old at that time. My first proper education was in San Diego, California. I couldn't remember how it was on the first day of my school but I can guarantee that I didn't like it. When I was a kid growing up in a country that has a completely different lifestyle as we have in Malaysia, I can be catogerized as an unsosiolized kid. I did played with my neighbours but I had only a few friend. So, going to school for the first time an being surrounded by strangers is not what I was ready for.

Even though, we lived in the States since I was 2 years old, kindergarden was definitely not the place that I wanted to be in. I couldn't even recall who were my best buds during those days. But I do remember this one 'mat salleh' boy who will always walk home with me and my mom who picked me up from school almost every day. Kenapa aku kata, 'almost'. It's because there was one day that she was late. Normally, she would already be in front of the door, waiting for me to come out from the class. But there was one day that when I got out of class, I realized she wasn't there. As a naive kid, yes, I panicked. I didn't cry though but I built up all the courage I had and walked home, alone! I could still visualised the school patrol (errr...betul ke panggil camtuh ek, lupa le. Nih, org yang tolong kids cross the road), stopping the traffic and I ran across the road. And before reaching my housing area, there's a wide road which is dangerous for a small kid to cross. But yes again, I remember there was this teenage guy who held my hand and helped me across. I arrived home safely but cried like mad while knocking the door. My mum was just ready to fetch me but it seems I arrived first.

Another kindergarden memory that I can still recall was again when my mum came late to pick me up. I dont know how suddenly I joined the other kids queuing for lunch. Ok, sudah semestinya la makanan kat situ tak halal, so who was I to know? I already took the tray but fortunately my mum arrived on time. She took the tray from my hand and brought me home. I never understand why my mum did that, but I also didnt care to ask.

Hmmm...as for the lesson in school that I could remember was when the teacher asked us to make a photo frame from dough. I certainly enjoyed
doing and at the same time playing with it. There was also egg hunting during Easter. We had to find chocolate eggs hiding everywhere at the playground.

Oh well, I think that's enough with my kindergarden memories. It was the beginning of my life as a student. And the beginning of everything that is coming ahead....
