hello,Madam speaker!

saya dan meja debat, memang kamceng lahh
IIUM interschool debating championship,2009. this is my best teammates ever. we dont even have the fourth debater!

yeah. tipu la kan kalau tak rindu.

Minggu Haluan Siswa APIUM Nilam Puri. runner up for the first trial in arabic language, Alhamdulillah
The best thing about debating is, the learning process. The fact that you are in the phase of learning and trying, and making mistakes and being corrected, hearing your own flaws, watching those great speakers presenting, and you extract the lesson by just observing, hearing and taking a deeper look of the strategy, strength, organization, and lots lots more. It was a totally cool experiences.

the other cooler thing, is when you are explaining your own views on certain issues and you see people understand and nodding their heads, agreeing, and they are paying attention on what you are presenting. *gahhh, priceless.

I have a problem. kalau cakap kat depan, I can't see people that's not paying attention. seriously felt totally distracted. bayangkanlah kite semangat2 cerita kat depan, pastu buat nak dengar taknak je.rase nak gi depan dia pastu tanye ape masalah. but as I found a lot of people somehow i get used to it. yeah kadang2 kita jugak yg salah sebab tak pandai nak present properly.


These whole experiences taught me a bunch of priceless lessons. and one of the most important thing is, be brave, or else you'll miss all the excitements.

like this one. ihihi :P


Mula-mula tu, betul ke ape aku buat ni? nak gi speech contest. dahlah tak pernah join speech contest (debating and spech quite are two different things I tell you). the biggest different is in debate, you have teammates. So kalau takde idea, pastu tak jumpe perkataan ape kita nak cakap, kalau dah terlebih masa, at least kita ada backup kat keliling. tapi dalam speech, hurm terkial-kial la sorang kat depan, with all eyes are staring at you, dengan muka kerut2, macam tanye, ape la budak depan ni merepek, asyik cakap mende same je,ohh so humiliating. kalau boleh taknak ingat semua tu. haha

But it always worth trying for. baru tahu kelemahan kita kat mana, kene buat ape sebenarnya, pastu macam mana baiki semua tu. belajar dan terus belajar. sebab soft skill macam ni, tak diajar dalam kelas, dalam formal P&P process. unless you go outside and give a shot, and you'll figure out yourself your own strength and weakness.

but the question is, do you have the guts to give a try?

I'm not that brave either, frankly.but it just hard to let the opportunity walk away from you. too hard. tapi kalau pergi depan dan tak dapat, at least I'd tried.

Semoga Allah selalu beri kekuatan tu, dan selalu tunjukkan ape yg terbaik untuk kite semua. amin. :)

Memory

You know I always take pride in how good my memory works. I can remember details, information, and able to retain & recall them whenever it is needed. I remember small minute detail of a person, what she/he likes or dislike, what they're allergic of, preferences, pet peeves, depending how close they are to me. I remember event and incidents that occurs, I remember the things people say, sometimes the wording they use, I remember the places and memories it carries-the people I go with, the purpose of going, and sometimes the exact dates if not month of the year. I remember random facts about thingsi studied in my degree despite not dealing with the subjects on daily basis. I remember very vividly the memories of people despite how random and sometimes insignificant it seems. No matter how useful a good memory does sound, Sometimes, secretly, I resent it. I resent that how memories are only pieces of you that you're meant to keep. Just because you remember the specific event ...

The ocean

We could've been the ocean Where the limits is not found The potentials, possibilities of what could have become But you chose the land The security, the certainty and safety that it offers You chose what is easy And that's okay Me and difficulties came as part in parcel As much as I can give you Or that I tried or willing to try to There are parts of me that isn't gonna be easy I probably can't give you peace And that's okay Maybe it's not that much of a fall It's the imagery of you that stuck And how it takes the shape and the idea of you But I'm beginning to understand now, or at least as of this current moment There are something to be blamed but not everything I hold no grudge nor that I bear any ill wishes I just prefer not to see the sight of you At least not until I let go that image of you And the thought of what we could have become And I free myself from this attachment and idea You chose the logic, the safer route And I will embark on a diffe...

The very defining moment

26th of June When we got into a little misunderstanding and you go to sleep upset and I went about my days pretending like nothing happened when in reality i was just as affected I think over the time i became quite good at pretending putting on smiles and working, as if it was all normal when the truth I keep on dropping things, i was all over the place I am CLEARLY not in a great mood and later that night you called me up and asked if I had my dinner already and all you said "bawak tupperware. Saya kat luar" Imagine the kind of shock I had When you are upset but still decides to go above and beyond for me I'm not sure what do I have in me but I just got lucky 27th June Another misunderstanding (lol) and this time you dropped by again late at night we drive and we talk I talk and talk endlessly We smiled and laugh (and in my heart i knew, I want this forever) I want to be next to you when I'm sad when i feel hopeless or just full of moodiness and I just wanna be sad ...
