How do you feel when everybody has everything and you think that you have nothing?
Why do you even compare yourself to others?
Why do you like nature so much? is it a way for you to forget all your problems?
Are your problems real in the first place? or is it self imposed?
What exactly the things that you don't have compared to your friends?
HOw is your relationship with your mom before.. and after?
Why are you ashamed of your mom?
WHy does what Mr. Robinson think or say matters to you?
What change do you want to bring to your village and why?
Are your intentions good?
What about the way you want to bring change? is it any good?
Why do you want to change your village? isn;t it perfectly fine?
Is there any body who is wrong in this story? or is it the case of a jigsaw puzzle that can't fit?

What do you feel if somebody proposed to you in a bad timing?
How do you feel if your best friend turns into somebody whom you do not know?
What would you do if 2 of your friends have arguments?
How would you feel if you are blamed for your father's wealth?
Why did you 'trained-away' your lisp?
What has dancing done for you?
How did you get your boost of confidence?
Why would you say that everything is your fault?
How do you feel if left alone in the dark?

It's different
I find it very different if i have to write a blog for assignment. When you feel you NEED to write, you just have no idea on what to write. Nothing just came to mind.
I did have a lot happening around me lately.
I am currently directing a play for MSSM's Malaysian Nite which will be on the 28th of APril. It is taking a lot of my time and i do feel that i need to prioritize more. Alhamdulillah, i manage to understand all the important information and ideas during the classes and i feel more confident ever since i started using the mind-mapping method. Now, if i could just find some time to re-draw the map and try to read the text book, insya allah i would be fine.
Results just came out. I know that it is taboo to ask people on what their marks are. However, if you feel you need to ask, there definitely is a right way so that the other people won't get offended. As we grow older, the need to compare gets lesser because we are more content with ourselves and we do not have to find out how we do as compared to others. We normally compare to ourselves and would think wether we deserve that mark. If any body is curious, i did alright. Alhamdulillah, better than i expected. I have no complaints what so ever on the outcome. Just that i hope i can get the same, if not better for this semester.
As for dissertation, all the framewrok has been done. Now, instead of circling around and beating around the bush, i need to dive and get my head really into this Web Teaching support Application. I need to get the requirements straight and make sure that everything is purely justified.
Oh did i mention? I feel that it is different when you HAVE to write an entry, as compared to you WANT to.
Laaaa di daa~~!!

Aviemore Ski Trip & Dublin
Ski Trip
I know.. i know.. this was 2 weeks ago, but i feel like updating you peeps on this ski trip again anyways. It was a trip organized by Kelab UMNO Birmingham, joined by Kelab UMNO Salford & Manchester and Kelab UMNO Edinburgh. It was a 3 day trip and we stayed in a youth hostel. Didn't get much chance to take photographs because everybody was busy falling down. Heheh.
Dublin
I als0 promised you guys that i'd update on the Dublin experience in which i worked for a freight company that ships students' stuffs back to Malaysia. It was a load of fun! And by load.. i DO mean LOAD.. huhu.. Medic students especially, have very thick books.. and as intelligent as they seem to be, some of them lacks the capacity to empathize with the people that is going to pick up their boxes on to the van and ultimately the container. Some of them put ALL the heavy hardcover books in one box, and never thought of distributing the weight in 2 or 2 boxes. Oh well.. on the bright side, i loss a few KGs that weekend.. and i think now i have a bit of muscles in me arms.. :P
Titanic? huhuhu

My Assignment
My Assignment is to have a blog!
The coursework statement basically is to create and track the usage of a personal webspace. i.e: friendster/blogspot/windows live space etc. and make a study on how effective is the character representation on the personal webspace!
At first i thought that.. what the hell? Blog? Haih.. to come here all this way just to learn how to create a blog?!... ridiculous! Haha.. But i found out that there is more to it than just a blog. Creating and tracking the personal webspace is just the first part of the coursework which will take 3 weeks. I will need to keep a diary of what i do in this blog. i.e: how much time spent per day, what do i normally do, do i receive comments. etc.
The next step will be the actual study. The study is actually to be implemented in companies who practices off shoring, which means that they expand their business abroad have staffs all over the world who work together but never actually met. One of the importance is that staff who deals with each other are more comfortable dealing with somebody that they know, or maybe know something about (i.e: Age, Status, experience of work, etc). So that is why there is a study to see if personal webspace is a good tool to represent the character of the staff.
How do we gauge this in the coursework? Well, i will have to set up a questionnaire and ask my closest friends to answer about what they think my character is (a). Another questionnaire will be given out to people who have not met me and have only 'seen' me in the virtual space(b). And then, we will compare the 2 questionnaires and see if the answers in b is near to a. Kewl huh?
I know that there are lots of variables and limitations of this study. For example, personal representation on a blog is actually from my own point of view of who i am and definitely it could be a bit biased. This means that i only put in my blog might be my own misconception of myself and therefore definitely misrepresents my own character.
Anyhooo... i think this should be fun. I love this course! Haha.

May - SKetsa Sebuah Cinta
Thought u guys might wanna sing along to the featured video. I used to detest rock kapak when i was younger.. but somehow.. all these nostalgic songs are coming back one by one. I just noticed that 80s rock bands are not that bad in terms of quality. Apart from the theme of love is touched by most of the bands over and over again back then (which i found is a bit too much), their vocal strength and range is really marvellous.
I also noticed that performers during that time have more soul. Could be because they sang from the heart. Many current bands have tried to re-make the songs form back then.. but came out with less umpph.
Oh well.. here goes!

........................................................................................
Oh kekasih hatiku selamanya
Keindahan maya itu milik kita
Terciptalah... sebuah cinta
Jiwa sama bergelora
Kaulah satu dalam hidupku ini
Penawar di kala rindu
Kanku curahkan seluruh cintaku
Padamu... oh... kasihku
Akan kubina istana untuk kita
Dan menikmati gelombang cinta
Di dadaku... dan di dadamu
Degupan seiring irama
Ayuh kupimpinkan tanganmu
Menuju mahligai bahagia
Kitakan bersama
Mengecap nikmat cinta
Hidup bagai di syurga

MALAYSIAN NIGHT 2007 : Audition for Actor/Actresses
Hello everyone,
The gist of the play:
The Characters
Zakrin: A good-natured Malay boy who is filial to his mum and has a passion for Mother Nature, but plagued by a cumbersome ideal that he has to put the state of poverty he and his mum are in to an end. And when he stumbles upon this haunted shack, he is changed and no one sees him again after that night... 5 years later, Zak returns to the village, rich and powerful, but evidently, has forgotten his roots...
Suet Ray: An innocent and kind-hearted girl from a wealthy Chinese family. She was born with a lisp and was especially cheeky when she was young, but when she is all grown up, she overcomes her lisp, blossoms into a beautiful lady and yet, so unaware of her intoxicating features. She has missed Zak in those 5 years, and when she sees him again as a totally different person, she is pained and saddened...
Shar: Flirtatious Indian, even when he was a young boy. Very particular about his hair and complexion, mischievous, a comic relief for his other two more serious counterparts. Loves to go to the disco, typically falls for a girl during a dance party...
Suet Ray's and Shar's mums
Zak's mum: Speaks Malay, easily contented, patient, forgiving, and makes Nasi Lemak for a living.
Suet Ray's dad: kind, humorous and a worldly man who has travelled around the world for business.
Ka Ming: Suet Ray's love interest; was a young boy hand-picked by Suet Ray's dad to become his protege. As a result, he has been travelling around the world with her dad. He received a largely Western education, so he displays some awkwardness when it comes to local/Chinese culture.
Karina: Shar's love interest; used to be a buck-toothed girl bullied by the boys but has turned into a beautiful swan. As a result of those horrid years of being looked down upon, she has developed a steely front, although it encourages the guys on to pursue her more than deter them. (This character requires no dialogue, but please be informed that she will be dancing)
Siti: Zak's love interest. When Zak was young, he used to leave trinkets outside Siti's place; a self-assured woman later on, who plays a role in persuading Zak to repent on his deeds...
Mr. Robinson: An Englishman in Malaysia! Complacent, fun-loving. Loves hanging out with the hot chicks and basically is Zak's co-worker/partner when he eventually comes back to the village.
Just to remind everyone that we will be holding an audition tomorrow in our search for actors and actresses for our Malaysian Night play.
MALAYSIAN NIGHT AUDITION (FOR ACTORS AND ACTRESSES ONLY)
Venue: Room 3, Student Union
Date: 16th February 2007 (This Friday)
Time: 3pm-7pm
The gist of the play:
"CANARY"
Set in a time, not so long ago, this story tells of three friends who come from utterly different backgrounds, and yet are united with an unbreakable bond forged from the moment they were born. Like any 15 year-olds, Zak, Suet Ray, and Shar thought that they had the world under their feet, but unbeknownst to their innocent minds, a night at a haunted shack changes Zak's life forever...
This is a story about belonging, friendship, and self-identity.
The Characters
Zakrin: A good-natured Malay boy who is filial to his mum and has a passion for Mother Nature, but plagued by a cumbersome ideal that he has to put the state of poverty he and his mum are in to an end. And when he stumbles upon this haunted shack, he is changed and no one sees him again after that night... 5 years later, Zak returns to the village, rich and powerful, but evidently, has forgotten his roots...
