my not so green hands

Taking care of Orchids is not easy. I remember my mom used to spend hours in the garden bercucuk tanam. And I would play badminton or just listen to my walkman sambil duduk atas boot kereta and goyang kaki. That was how uninterested I was.

However, now is a different scenario altogether. We don't have a garden but our house is slowly dipenuhi with pokok². It started this Winter before the big 2011 celebration that my husband decided we should have some 'greenery' in our house. So we bought a pair of Zebra Grass and a pair of pokok that we have no idea apa nama dia. Followed by a very pricey Orchid that turned out dead after 2 months. (Sedihnya).

Now the history of pokok² is building up. And right now, we have 2 lovely blooming Orchids (placed next to our night table. On another note, we FINALLY ada katil. Before this we were sleeping on a tilam (mcm orang bujang). But Carie decided to give up her sofa bed and akhirnya kami tido atas katil. woohoo!).

Along our corridor ada pokok Yucca (2.99€), which needs very little water (easy care) and a lovely Vriesea. The two Zebra Grass' are still alive and now dia dah panjang². I put one in our bathroom and another dia mcm mobile (currently in our living room). I also have some dead Gerberas but the leafs are still nice and lovely. I pulled out the dead Gerberas and left the leafs for perhiasan. It is now located dalam bathroom jugak. For my birthday, I received a bouquet Roses sorted with pinkpurple Chrysanthemum. Cantik sangat. And also, last week, I bought a bundle of white Chrysanthemum.

So here are some pictures of my flowes and indoor pokok². I apologize kalau pics are not so nice since I have backache skarang nih and susah nak tunduk² .. Plus, I am not in the mood for intense photography, due to my backache. I should really go to the doctor :(

my years : looking back

Tomorrow I turn 30. The big three 0. People make it a big deal because you will enter the 3-series (like the BMW series) and make jokes about getting one once you're 30. Perhaps one day inshaAllah :)

So this may bore you but here are the highlights of my birthdays for the past 2 decades...

2010 age 29 : First time celebrated with my husband since we were a couple. We were in a long distance relationship for 3 and a half years and long distance marriage for 7 months. So this time is was special. However, he was still recovering from his broken leg injury. We did a small gathering of friends.. but he couldn't walk.. But it was still special.. :)

2009 age 28 : My last birthday as a single person. My family did a surprise birthday party for me. Everyone came except for my sister and her family. The wedding was a belated birthday present too :p

2008 age 27 : Me and my family celebrated at a Thai restaurant. I got cupcakes, and pen parker engraved with my name from my family :) My husband (boyfriend at that time) and myself bought a DSLR camera as a birthday present. It was awesome!

2007 age 26 : Went for dinner with my parents. A very laid back birthday. My husband (boyfriend at that time), shipped to me Motorola V3 and I love it! :)

2006 age 25 : During this time, I guess I was busy with my masters. My family belanja makan besar for a 7 course Chinese dinner at KGNS. My husband (boyfriend at that time) gave me an MP3 player. Supercool! I loved it! I also went to GREASE LIGHTNING the musical with my sister in law for my birthday treat.. I also bought a pair of pink heels for myself :)

2005 age 24 : Oh this was the worst birthday ever kot. I kinda erased all memories during this year until somewhere in August 2005. But I do remember my colleagues surprising me with a Chocolate Banana Secret Recipe birthday cake. Other than family and work, I was going through rough times during this year.

2004 age 23 : First birthday after getting a job. I didn't wait till 12am to celebrate, dah tertido dah pun cause I was too tired (this was the only year I didn't wait till midnight). But I could remember my cousin SMSing me at 7am in the morning (we share the same birthday) while I was in a bus going to work. My colleagues surprised me for a birthday lunch treat and gave me a nice present. Baik sangat diorang. All of them were chinese and they were really good friends.

2003 age 22 : I was still in college. I couldn't quite remember jugak what happened. But I remember nice wishes from family and close friends :)

2002 age 21 : Pun sudah lupa

2001 age 20 : I did a birthday party and celebrated with family and friends.

2000 age 19 : Seriously forgot. Like zero memory. Oh but I remember my mom gave me a really nice pair of subang :) still have it till today

1999 age 18 : The year of the teens. I celebrated my birthday with a bunch of hippies at KLCC. It was post SPM period and suddenly everyone was socializing after two years of being in Maktab Rendah Sains MARA Taiping. Haha! Anyway, it was a nice birthday. My parents gave me a rantai and pendent. I did a late birthday party somewhere in mid June. And get this, my husband was also there!! But we were just as friends at that time (IRC friends). How freaky is that! Who would've thought that we'd be married :p It was probably one of those birthdays that I will remember kot.. :)

1998 age 17 : I remember I was sick during my birthday. However, our homeroom celebrated with a cake.

1997 age 16 : First birthday berjauhan from family. Called home at 7am in the morning before going for morning assembly. Sweet 16. Got letters and birthday cards from Sri Amanians. It was really cool :)

1996 age 15 : Can't remember sangat lah.. But I celebrated with family

1995 age 14 : My deskmate, Lilia Ramona, the most popular girl in school (haha) gave me an Adidas T-Shirt. It was the most expensive birthday present from a friend (at that time). Dia anak orang kaya.

1994 age 13 : Went to the states and got a whole bunch of birthday presents from my sister and brothers. It was awesome!!

1993 age 12 : It's my party and I cry if I want to. I cried on my birthday party. Ada sorang buat hal on my birthday party and sedih sgt.

1992 age 11 : Got a musical box as a birthday present. Still keep it till today

1991 age 10 : Some really cool presents from my parents. A big book of world and a teddy bear :)


This is as far as I could go for my birthday. Yang lain tu tak igt sgt. But every year was celebrated with love together with my family... Gonna miss them on my birthday.. and wish that they were here to celebrate with me and my husband.... :)

My Deutsch exams are over :) Alhamdulillah. I did my best and I will only know the results in 4- 6 weeks.. So yesterday after my paper, the Malaysian Mannheimers did our annual Spring picnic at Luisenpark. This time special sket cause my husband ada skali.. Last year I went with Carie and almost semua lelaki and I felt so ackward and rasa nak balik cepat je. But now since dah a few times lepak dengan diorang skali with my husband, takde la segan sangat. Even though most of the time, I am the the only girl (ok la, lady or woman).

Anyway, its Sunday morning and my husband is giving me time to conquer the computer while he main game. Sbb dah lama tak menghadap computer. So I have been youtubing and listening to song to destress :p After watching the guys main guitar semalam, I decided that I will be slowly learning main guitar balik. I stopped playing since form 4 and now I only remember like 4-5 chords jer :( So now tengah sibuk la cari balik lagu best² and chords² . I stumbled upon maman teacher's pet blog . I used to love listening to his songs during my school days. He is a very talented guy tapi sayang very few appreciate his music. I am thinking of starting with Seringkali by maman. You can check out this song in youtube and also in his blog. There is a video of his performance in Ladies@Lepak in Sri Hartamas, which I wanna check out bila balik KL nanti inshaAllah. This song is also in Layar Lara's Soundtrack (one of the reasons why I bought the cassette masa form 4).

I guess thats all for now. Just a short update. Need to clean up my house since it's been so bersepak for a week. Do check out Maman's blog okay..

Here are some pictures of how our table looks like for most of the days for the past 2 months or so..
Take care all!

Another level : B1,2.

Today I start with my final (hopefully) level for my Deutsch course. Before I citer dengan lebih lanjut, lemme explain what I mean by final level.

Right now I am under temporary visa (more than 90 days) which must be renewed yearly. For me to get a permanent visa, I need to undergo 600 hours of Deutschintergrationkurs + 1 week of Orientierungkurs (Deutsch government and laws) and pass the exams. This is the new law by the German government for Ausländer (foreigners) who wants to reside here. I am 'forced' to take this Deutschintergrationkurs because I plan to stay here forawhile, inshaAllah. By 'forced' I mean, because I am married and my husband works here. For this, the government is subsiding for the course and I pay at a discounted price. But only upto 600 hours.

The structure are as follows :

• A1,1 Basic
• A1,2 Introduction to Grammatik
• A2,1 More introduction to Grammatik
• A2,2 The hardcore of the Grammatik
• B1,1 How to use the grammatik in topics
• B1,2 Preparation for exams and again Grammatik

But if a person wants to study in University, one must complete till C1. That means after B1,2 there is B2 and C1.

I am right now at B1,2.

My exams will be on 1. April. Takutnya. So far, I have been busy studying. Thats why I haven't been blogging as much.. Or chatting or doing other internet activities. I called home this morning n mama said, 'Belajar rajin² la. Pekse nak dekat' . I laughed cause the last time she said that to me was when I was doing my degree.. which was somewhere back in 2003.. hehehe its funny when you're almost 30 and your mom says belajar rajin².

Anyways, I have lots of pictures to share and also stories to tell. But perhaps when I have more time okay. Pray for me. I feel that right now I can speak better and I feel more confident. Socializing with other people helped a lot.

Bis dann. Take care people. Tschüss! :)

Blogged on 25th December 2010 ::

Since it's the holiday season, a lot of the series' themes were very Christmas-y. In addition, it's been snowing the whole day yesterday and today when we woke up, it was seputih - putihnya. Guess the Germans' got their White Christmas.

Meanwhile, me and my husband spent the day just chilling at home. We got back almost at 1:30 am last night. We were invited for a 4-Course Christmas dinner at our houseowner's place (we live 2 stairs up from them). It was the first time I ate daging Rusa. It tasted not bad I guess. It was us, Kak Anis and Joe, and his mom (Oma, she is 89) and their friend Eric. After dinner, we had a little karaoke session and I scored the highest (97% btw) hehehe. My husband suddenly asked me if I wanted a karaoke set after he saw me meng-kongker microphone. heheheh.. We shall see :)

Yeah, karaoke is one way of boosting your self esteem. Which I need very much right now. Perhaps it's the winter talking or the holiday season thingy. Im not sure. I also played the piano a little. I played Beethoven"s piece Für Elise which I learned by hard (ke heart?) since I was 9 years old. Then I played a the shorter version of The Entertainer who left Joe whistling the song over and over again hehehe. I learned that the piano that I was playing survived the World War 2. It was Oma's piano and now Carie's. It's been around since 1935. It's older than my dad. And it's still in superb condition (German made :p ). Oma was telling about her life and how it was during the world war. Mannheim was one of the cities that got bombed. What's cool about old German people is that they have stories to tell about the war. And what better way to learn my German than talking to an old lady who speaks slowly but perfect German grammar. I understood her stories, or at least 70% of it. Oma wears a necklace that was given by her 1st husband. They got married when they were 19. Two weeks after the wedding, he had to go to war. He died in the war. She was devastated. She loved her first husband dearly and speaks fondly of him. Sedihnya. Macam dalam movie.

This morning I thought about Oma's love story. I was in for a love movie kinda mood. So I watched 'The Lakehouse' today. My husband (who never watches a movie twice) sat and watched it (again) with me. The story is a fiction. And there were several questions that was playing in my head while I was watching it. After the movie, me n my husband discussed about it and came to a conclusion that we both agreed (although it would never happen in real life). It was a nice show. What I like about it is that the thought about that guy... (opps.. don't wanna spoil the movie - if you haven't watched it). I would give it 8 out of 10 for The Lakehouse. 1 point was because Keanu Reaves heheheh.


Blogged on 27th December 2010 ::

After watching Jason Segel (the guy in How I met your mother) on Conan, we decided to check out Forgetting Sarah Marshall. He did mention that there are several scenes that he showed his you-know-what secara terang dan jelas. I almost puked when I saw 'it'. Selamba jer dia. My husband said, "It's his job what.. He's an actor" Hahaha.. sabar je la. But the movie was okla.. Funny. I recommend you to watch it when you are feeling macam nak tengok lawak2 bodoh. Nothing to wow about but just ok for me. I would give this movie a half half 5 out of 10.


Since I was in a movie marathon mood, I finally decided to watch the much talked about movie. Eat, Pray, Love. I would say that I was quite disappointed with that movie. Nothing much to wow about. I even fell asleep during that movie. Till now I don't think I wanna continue watching it. It's not so bad but it's not that good either. The movie is highly overrated just because Julia Roberts was starring in it. I would rate this halfly watched movie a 3.5 out of 10 for Eat, Pray, Love. Sorry.


After much disppointment, I switched my mood to a girly-girly movie kinda. I decided to catch up on The Sisterhood of the travelling pants. The only reason I wanted to watch this movie was because of Alexis Bledel and Blake Lively (she spells out Tall, Rich, Beautiful and Style). Terpengaruh dengan Gossip Girl. Maybe it's the effect of the Eat, Pray, Love movie, or maybe because I will be 30 next year, but this movie was not for me kot. It's loud (as in girls asik2 cakap which is memeningkan - Imagine Gilmore Girls darab 2), and tambah lagi pening because there are four main characters and they keep on switching scenes between all four of them. The minute you start to focus on one character, they change to another character. (a good observation. Mental Note : not to do that if I decide to direct a movie or write a novel :p ) Rating, 4 out of 10. 1 point is because I like the concept of the travelling jeans.. And only that..


Tonight my husband and I are gonna watch Reign over me starring Adam Sandler. So I hope I am able to give some reviews :)

Full Moon

Behind the moving clouds, I can see full moon. It's 14 Muharram. So pretty it is, subhanallah. Allah's creation.

I was about 10 years old, every Saturday night we would go to Arwah Opah's house in Subang Jaya for dinner. My sister and I would beg our parents to drop us off in Subang Parade instead or going to Opah's. We knew the answer would be no but never gave up asking. On the way backhome, I would look out the window from our car and stare at the full moon with full of awe. That was the point when I ambitioned to become a scientist. Puberty then hit me. All the teenage rebel and anger made me learn more about the environment and saving the earth. I changed my ambition to becoming an environmentalist. I did my part, I was very close friends with the President of the Kelab Pecinta Alam. On Friday nights, we would have this star-gazing activity in school. We had really cool equipments and got to play with the Telescope. I saw the surface of the moon, planet Jupiter, Saturn and it's ring and 5 of its moon orbiting and that was an amazing experience. I developed a passion towards Astronomy. I did a lot of reading about the subject. And somewhere along the way, from astronomical reading, I learned to express things through writing. I had alot of ideas for poems, novels and songs. I learned how to compose music from my piano lessons. Then I switched to the arts world. I was dead serious about it. I wrote drama scripts and directed teather. However, things change. I ended up working for a bank and later became a Statistics lecturer. Now a housewife struggling with Deutsch.

Throughout all these years, I have stared at the moon from I was a little girl and now a woman. There has been myriad changes throughout my life, but the moon stays the same. It amazes me how crazy we are here coping with change and the moon calms us down. How ironic it is for me to say that it makes you feel down to earth a little. What blows my mind is that from whichever part of the world we are, we share the same moon. Perhaps at that particular time that I am staring at the moon, you are staring at it too. Sometimes these taughts come to my mind. I am reminded of a conversation that took place when I was in my early 20s. It was during Friday prayers and my friend had said this, 'You know, maybe our jodoh tengah sembahyang jumaat at this very minute'. And I said, 'Hmm.. tak semestinya.. Kalau dia kat overseas ke sekarang?' At that moment, I had no idea why I said that. But I remember it vividly. I thought about this conversation an hour before my akad. It freaked me out a little.

We all share the same moon, the same sun. From wherever we are. It's not just facebook that keeps us connected. It's the universe.

The truth about cats ... tribute to Belang

I used to LOVE cats. Being the youngest of 4 siblings, I treated cats like little kids as well. I would sleep with them, gomol² them and play with them. Till one incident that changed everything.

It was 1985. Our family went to my auntie's place in Jerantut, Pahang. I remember clearly how my cousin, Kak Ena called me to go to their back yard and played with their black cat. 'D..., jom main kat belakang. Ada kucing Micheal Jackson.' Micheal Jackson was at his peak of his carrier and Thriller was frequently played on the TV and Radio. Kak Ena referred to that cat as Micheal Jackson because it was completely black. We were playing with the cat. Kak Ena was wiggling a rope and I was laughing at the cat. Suddenly I decided to be naughty and pull the cat's tail. The cat angrily meowed at me. We laughed innocently. I was only 4. And my cousin was 7. Again we played around with the cat. I pulled it's tail again. It turned, jumped and bit my knee. I happened in a blink of an eye. I screamed out loud. My cousin panicked and started screaming 'Mak! Auntie Yam!' I moved my legs but the cat didn't let go of its bite. And it was just flying around my legs. I think it was almost 10 seconds till it let go of the bite. Red blood was dripping down my right leg. I couldn't walk and I thought I was gonna die. My cousin got her dad to take the cat away. We went to the hospital and I got injected on my behind. :( It seems that takut the gigitan ada poison.

That incident not only left a mark on my right leg (till now) but also left a deep impact in my life. It traumatised me.. and till now, I am a cat-a-phobia. 

We did own a cat when I was a teenager. Her name was Belang and she was very playful. We never let her in our house. I would open our sliding door ajar and give her milk in a bowl and massage her head while she licks the milk. But the she would feel all playful and wanna bite my finger. I would quickly slide the door and sometimes her hand would get stuck. I would jentik abit on her hand and said, 'Padan muka, siapa suruh main'. We had a nice time together. If she sneaks in, she would chase me around the house and I would run as fast as I could and close my room door. Then she would put her hand in between the floor and the door. I would take a pensil and play around with her. Through a closed door. That'S how scared I was. Sometimes, when I study, I would wiggle my leg and suddenly she would run and bite it. I would scream and jump up the table. Belang will just look up at me from below while wiggling her tail, waiting to jump on the table. When she jumps, I will jump down and run, again to my room and close the door. At that time, it felt scary. But now, it's sweet memories.
 

It's been more than 25 years but the phobia and also the mark is still there. But lately, I am starting to love cats again. And I sooo wanna own cat right now. But me and my husband both tak tahan bulu². And with my hairfall problem around the house, having cat-hair would only make our house messier. Sigh.. All I can do is play with our neighbour's cat... Also behind closed doors.. only there is no space under the door that she can put her hands under it.. just like belang.. I call her, Belang No. 2.

Before I end this post, catlovers can check out this link I saw on the net . Funny!

I miss you belang. Maybe I might own a cat again, one day :)

what Sara wrote

What Sara wrote on her blog made me write this piece (cewah, piece tu.. mcm some Piano piece je). Being an 80s baby rocks. I remember I used to wait for the Intisari Rancangan where the person would read out the TV program. One time, while the person was reading the program, suddenly one of her ear rings dropped while shooting. And she kept on reading but she cleared her throat after that incident happened. I laughed so loud! I think I was only 4 or 5. I will never forget that.

I used to be glued on the TV for hours. Those days DVD or VCD players belum wujud lagi. During day time, I would watch Smurfs, She-Ra and He-Man, Thundercats (they were awesome!), Jem and the Hologram (I love their songs!), My little Pony, Carebears, Ducktales, Bugsbunny show, Popeye The Sailorman. Those are the ones that I can remember. Garfield was around during the 1990s. Other than cartoons, I would watch Little House on the Prairie, Growing Pains (my family would sit in front of the tv and watch this), Full House, The A Team, McGyver, AirWolf, Doogie Howser, The Cosby Show, Family Matters (Famous quote by Steve Urkel 'Did I do thaaat?'), Family Ties, Fat Albert, My Two Dads, Ghostbusters, Ninja Turle,  Out of this world (this is a really cool one), Small Wonder, Wonder Years (OMG, best sangat citer nih), Who's The Boss, Just the 10 of us, .. Eh banyak la.. Tu tak campur the ones during the early 90s like.. Secret World of Alex Mack, 21 Jump Street, Zorro, Parker Lewis Can't Lose, Fresh Prince of Bel Air, Get Smart, Moesha, Ferris Beuller, Saved by the Bell, Clarissa Explains it All, omg, banyaknya... Of course there was a time where sometimes I would run back home early to watch that Japanese show we all loved so much, Moero Attack.. Come on, you wouldn't be an 80s baby if you didn't watch that one. It was awesome!

Then puberty hit me and I stopped watching cartoons or citer berunsurkan ke-kanak-kanakkan.. I started watching Santa Barbara (lagu Peabo Bryson, if ever you're in my arms again) and Beverly Hills 90210 and I never miss an episode. This was when I was in Standard 6. Everybody who is anybody watched that show. Girls would wanna be like Brenda or Kelly and find a boyfriend like Brendon or Dylan McKay. I didn't watch Melrose Place though. There was a short tv channel, MetroVision and they would air Dawson's Creek, Daria, Le Femme Nikita, Models Inc (famous quote, I know you killed Teri Spencer).

I think these are only a few that I remember. Im certain that I watched a lot more shows than this. Listing all these shows, I could evidently encapsulate that I grew up with TV. During that growing up phase, our brains are like sponges waiting to absorb new things. I would repeat some of the sentences out loud to learn new words or study how they talk. I guess it's a learning process. My siblings would tease each other by quoting from TV shows especially Growing Pains (since its about siblings who grew up together) and also Fresh Prince of Bel Air and Did I do thaaaat? by Family Matters.  

Those were the days. The good old days. One day we will look back and probably I would write how I religiously follow tv shows like 30 Rock, Seinfeld, Weeds, Glee, How I Met Your Mother, Castle, Modern Family, Community, South Park, Sex and the City, The Sopranos, The Office, The Good Wife, Ghost Whisperer, numb3rs, Cougar Town, Conan O Brien,  Simpsons, Futurama, House, Psych, Laguna Beach, The Hills (I LOVE THIS!), Chuck, Haven, Mike and Molly, Outsourced (must watch!!), The Big Bang Theory, Two and a half men and so much more that I just cant remember right now. Gila kan? I think most of you would list down the same TV shows. Tu tak campur citer yang I missed out and will soon do a marathon like Entourage, Gossip Girls, Desperate Housewives, Grey's Anatomy, Friends, etc etc. Gosh banyaknya!... I wish I would read as much as I watch tv though :p

The shows that I highlighted in blue are brilliantly funny in a dark way and I would highly recommend you to watch those. The Sopranos is also a good watch but be careful because once you start, it's hard to stop.. and it has 6 heavy seasons :p

Hopeful

That's 3 nights in a row of freaky and scary nightmares. Mama says kalau mimpi buruk jangan citer kat orang. If you have a good dream, tell ONLY the one that you trust. I have heard of this. My friend told me a story that our Prophet Muhammad SAW adviced his friend of this.

Been feeling abit demotivated and down lately. But we can't always blame the weather right ?

Watched Glee yesterday. Gwyneth Parltrow was the substitute teacher for Glee club and she definitely nailed it! Right on the spot!

Today I heard Lean on Me MP3 from Glee. I used to listen to this song on my way back from work. The original song. And I would bop my head and sing my heart out dengan penuh perasaan (Bak kata Cikgu Juriah - SPM Chemistry teacher). For me, singing gives me that feel-good-feeling. Although I am not a good singer, but not bad in karaoke. (96% in Karaoke for I will Survive though :p ehem³ iklan jap) Anyway, back to the song. It's was from a movie 1989 movie, Lean on Me starring Morgan Freeman. I love those kinda movies. Movies about inspiring teachers. Teachers that not only teach academically. But also teach students about life. Teachers that give motivation, hope, faith and confidence to the next generation. Inspiring teachers that can change a person for the better, can change the world. At least someone's world. Inspiring teachers will be remembered for a long long time.

My favourite inspiring-teacher movies would be Lean on Me, To Sir with love, Dangerous Minds and Coach Carter (must see). It's not teacher's day. but I pray that all my teachers are blessed. Both my parents were teachers before. Their students still remember them till today. Both of my parents are still teachers of my life till today and will always be the inspiring teachers of my life. I hope that one day, I can contribute and become a teacher again. And hopefully can inspire students to be more that they can be.

Here is Hopeful from Twista OST of Coach Carter.

'Our deepest fears not that we are inadequate, 

our deepest fears that we are powerful beyond measure'

Learn To Fly

Can you imagine kalau FB ada time² SPM dulu?
Status : Kat DS menikmati nasi ayam.. nyummyyy!!
Status : Jangan kongker jalan boleh tak ???? tensyen!!!
Status : Bestnya Outing kat Fajar!

Those were the days. I had many response when I put up this status on my FB. I'd figure, perhaps this could make people smile rather than feel like barfing with my random housewife updates :p

It reminded me of the time when I was in college, the first time I learned to 'fly'. See, 'fly' is a word used to describe escaping from the gates of college / boarding school at odd hours without authorization and not getting caught.Usually you will have somesort of adrenaline rush when you 'fly'. Its the teen excitement. The thrill of doing something taboo.. Padahal takde la gempak mana pun :p

During my younger days, with an innocent face, people would not suspect the things I do. But I am just a small timer. Takde la pergi fly dari Taiping ke Ipoh to watch a gig at midnight. Itu kerja² budak² lelaki. The first time I did it was in 1999 during my matriculation days. Bulan puasa. Yes. Di bulan yang mulia. Tapi kisah 'fly' saya taklah hebat mane.. It was 9 of us.. Sneaked out pelan - pelan.. Masa tu rase mcm lagu background Foo Fighters - Learn to fly. We went to buka puasa kat gerai somewhere in Seremban on a weekday di kala orang lain sedang bertarawikh.. I know I know.. jahat kan ? . Skali terserempak dengan Warden! but he didn't notice us.. Terus balik kolej and sneaked in one by one mase pak jaga tak perasan..

Walaupun kesalahan yang amatlah kecil (ye ke?) but the thrill memang best. At that time, we felt like we own the world! Kita la gangster paling hardcore. It was the me-against-the-world-avril-lavigne-attitude phase. Silly I know.. But I guess it's nice to have those memories. Of course I am not proud of it.. But as a teenager, one must have a story to tell.. :)
