Red Army

Now, some of you guys might wonder why the devil is this girl so into Arsenal? What the hell is it with this team? Well, I've never been a fan of football until I was 9. I normally would watch cartoon programs during nighttime except on weekends because that's when they air football matches. So, I began watching some Arsenal matches with both of my brothers. If you'd combine the first few matches together, it was an epic mental torture for me. I didn't understand the game. I found football boring. The main thing which annoyed me to the maximum level was the offside rule. And to cap it all, I had an agonizing feeling inside me for not being able to watch my favorite cartoon programs.

There were two main factors which attracted me to Arsenal. One, of course the early exposure of the club by my dad and brothers. Two, Fredrik Ljungberg. I know guys, I went through hell when I said his name for the first time ever.

"Jeevan, who's this guy? This....Lu....Lu...jun...Lujun....bek? This Lujunbek guy?"

And my brother couldn't believe his ears when I said his name. So, that's when I started to take interest in football. I don't know how a complicated name triggered a 9 year old to admire the club and the game as well. I was there during The Invincibles era. I was there when Henry became the club's all time top scorer. I was there when Arsenal became Double winners. And who could ever forget the bitter rivalry between Patrick Vieira and Roy Keane? I was there during the last game at Highbury when Henry scored his hat trick, held the ball in his palm and kissed the pitch. Ahh, those days.

So, there you go. That's how I became who I am today. A Gooner. For life.

Nothing Much Of An Update

Finally, one movie which lived out to my expectations, Shutter Island. Although, I'd prefer to have read the novel beforehand, it was worthwhile. The only thing which fooled me when I watched the trailer was I thought Robert De Niro was in the movie as well. With Robert or without Robert, it was really a beauty.

Now, if I could only watch Alice in Wonderland...........

Let me lay my eyes on you, darling!

A lil bit of Jiwang-ness

"It seems like everyone else has their own best friends except us.."

With that fact being the foundation for a solid strong friendship, two individuals began their journey together in separate ways. Yet, holding on with their faith in each other, they believed in what kept them strong was what kept them apart. Tolerance, respect, acceptance and most importantly love were, and still are, the main elements required to ensure the maintainability of this friendship. They will always be there for each other.

Happy Birthday to the special one who's reading this!

Summer Camp With Cik Nad

I remember me and 6 of my mates, Farah, Leka, Nadzirah, Nabil, Umair and Ikhwan went to Kuala Terengganu for a camp. Mainly they had some big guys from the ministry lecturing us. It only went for a few hours. So, I was sitting beside Nad and we got bored towards the lectures. Suddenly one minister guy said something about "Summer Camp".

Both me and Nad were puzzled and we looked at each other in disbelief.

Me: Summer Camp? Bile mase Malaysia ade summer?
Nad: Tahu. Bukan sepanjang tahun ke summer?

Then we listened carefully......

Me: Oh, kat Australia la.
Nad: Ah. Malaysia summer camp? Kejut orang. Kalau Monsoon Camp logic jugak.

And I laughed my head off and couldn't agree with her more. Haih Cik Nad..Cik Nad..

Dream No.1

I received an offer from Pahang University, claiming that I have successfully earned a medical seat there. You know when you purchase waffle from any outlets in Kemaman and they give it to you in a paper bag in which a wide selection of flavours written on it? And they mark the flavour you chose? That's how I earned my medical seat. It was a small letter and there was a small marked box beside the word "Perubatan". When I told my mom, she went, "Like they want to specially build such university for you."

Dream No.2

I got 9A's and 1B. It was reminiscent of the real fact of me getting 6A's and 1B for PMR. The dream sucked big time.

Dream No.3

A, B, C, D. You name it. I got every possible & available grade. It was more of a nightmare than a regular dream.

Dream No.4

This time it's not about the grades. My Physics teacher distributed the Physics papers and I got the least from the best. One of my friends got 99.5. Really Farah, why do your marks always make bold statements and terrorize everyone even in this particular dream of mine?

One dream worsens to another as the day approaches nearer. I'm hoping for the best.
Come this Thursday, please have mercy on me, Lord. You know what I want. I demand you to grant it for me!
