More Minions!




Not that I actually missed getting McDonald's but with the new Despicable Me movie coming out next month, I just can't help getting this merchandise from GSC while buying popcorn for my nephew and niece as they're watching Inside Out 2 last night.




I've been so occupied with work lately I haven't been watching movies at cinema for - I don't remember how many months now but I really can't wait to watch Despicable Me 4 soon!

Pretending

Face to face and heart to heart
We're so close yet so far apart
I close my eyes I look away
That's just because I'm not okay

But I hold on I stay strong
Wondering if we still belong

Will we ever say the words we're feeling
Reach down underneath it
Tear down all the walls
Will we ever have a happy ending
Or will we forever only be pretending
Will we (oh oh oh all) ways (oh oh oh all) ways (oh oh oh all) ways be...pretending 

How long do I fantasize
Make believe that it's still alive
Imagine that I am good enough
If we can choose the ones we love

But I hold on I stay strong
Wondering if we still belong
Will we ever say the words we're feeling
Reach down underneath it
Tear down all the walls
Will we ever have a happy ending
Or will we forever only be pretending
Will we (oh oh oh all) ways (oh oh oh all)ways (oh oh oh all) ways be...

Keeping secrets safe
Every move we make
Seems like no-one's letting go
And it's such a shame
Cos' if you feel the same
How am I supposed to know

Will we ever say the words we're feeling
Reach down underneath it
Tear down all the walls
Will we ever have a happy ending
Or will we forever only be pretending
Will we (oh oh oh all) ways (oh oh oh all)ways (oh oh oh all) ways be... (pretending) Will we (oh oh oh all) ways (oh oh oh all)ways (oh oh oh all) ways be...pretending, pretending Will we (oh oh oh all) ways (oh oh oh all)ways (oh oh oh all) ways be...pretending

Above is the original song by Glee Cast. The thing about the song is that it leaves impression on me so deeply that I was stunned the first time I heard it on Glee. ... Cause the song totally tuned out all the stuffs going on for the past 7 years. I don't want to admit it but I guess I found the one song for you, E.


Happy birthday to me. 지난 7 년 도안 너를 사랑해서 비안해.

Fell Apart? Maybe

The thing is, my best friends, Shahida, Samirah and Abeer just went back to IIUM Kuantan campus after crashing in my cube for the past 3 days. It was crazy. Really.

On Thursday, they arrived around 5 p.m. while I was tutoring some of Mathematics classmates on functions.

As I hurried back to Mahallah, parked Jeremy just outside my windows, I ran to my room and saw Sammy stood there in front of the door. I hugged her together with Abeer. I miss them so much!

I went inside and found Sha was sleeping - exhausted from the long journey I guess. But I don't care. I rocked the bed and woke her up. lol

We just spent the whole evening chatting, laughing, eating bunch of crap and around 8.30 we went to the Experimental Hall located at the Rectory building to attend a Talk by Prof. Muhammed Elfaki on Islam & Feminism, organized by WAFA.

We headed back to mahallah and ordered McDonald on the way. At my room we continued on chatting some more, catching up with a LOT of things. I got to hear some stuffs went down in the Kuantan campus lately and bunch of crazy stories. We slept at almost 4 in the morning I think!

The next day on Friday, me, Sha, Sammy and my roommate Kadia Spent half of the day at Times Square KL. We did window shopping after went for a movie - Fright Night at the third level. We went back to campus around 9 after a bad scene at Papa John. But overall, it was fun. Simple things like walking with my friends are just priceless.

...and today, or I should say yesterday (look at the time!), we all went to Nabil Abas & Kak Najwa's wedding. Nabil was the vice president of SCIENCESS 09/10. Isn't it a nice coincidence for the vice president got married after the president? =)

I got to see some people at the wedding i.e. Kak Nadia Hanis who was just awesome! I miss our days back in the SCIENCESS Operation Room. We got to take picture with the groom and the bride and only that moment I suddenly recalled a vague memory of where I actually first met Kak Najwa. She was the committee of my Taaruf week at Matriculation back in 2006 and the week after that, I was on my way to Abu Bakar College for my English class. I was lost in between Al Malik Faisal Hall and the library and there Kak Najwa, asking me if I was lost. Even she was puzzled at first when I asked her where's the ABC 003 class as it was the first time classes were held in the brother's mahallah. But she did directed me to the right venue though. I smiled while walking out of the hall. Thinking on how they are so perfect for each other, knowing Nabil is such a nice guy too.

We took a cab to Alpha Angle mall a.k.a JJ Wangsa Maju as Sha still want to try Papa John no matter what. So we had a pizza, breadsticks, cheese sticks, and baked rice. Sha and Kadia had the bite of their lives when they both bit the pickled chilies. We also looked back at the pictures we took for the past 3 days and I suddenly recalled the Olive Theory when Sammy mentioned that she don't like the olives.

When we went out of the mall, it was raining. KL these days. The weather was quite unpredictable. The rain got heavier when we were in the cab. We arrived in the campus around 4 and the quickly packed and my chest started to get heavy as I watched them.

We all hugged and as I bid them goodbye while they were walking down the hill towards the entrance gate, I felt my tears rolled down on my cheeks. I felt so sad but I know I'm going to see them again.

Here I am, sitting in my room. Looking at the pictures that I took again and again. I know I eventually will find new friends here in Gombak but I can't deny the fact that I'll always long for them to be here with me. But this is the reality as we walked different paths in our lives.


P.S.: currently listening the Glee version of 'Somewhere Only We Know' sung by Blaine Anderson of the Warblers.

Closure

All that I can think of right now is a closure. 

Why do I need a closure? I don’t know. So my life could be much easier? Maybe. So my life could be less complicated? Definitely. 

A closure means I’m going to need to cut all the connections with all the people I've involved with and family members are the only exception.

But first, let’s talk about the phases of my life and so far I have gone through 5 phases.

Up until I turned 12, it was a phase of my lonely childhood. I had few friends but none of them I can call as close friends. I barely remember their names right now but I did had one crush, whose initial is S. I went through kindergarten, primary school and secondary school with him i.e being his classmate for 12 years.



When I was 13, it was a one year of hell. Literally! 2 words to describe, boarding school. I was about to go crazy but I did managed to pull myself out from the misery when I finally decided to change school. Even until now, I still think it was a wise decision. 



The third phase is the 4 years I spent in my middle school. The first 3 years mostly revolved around a person whose initial was F. The final year of middle school was a blast as I was 17, one of the top students, circles of friends, participated in mountains of activities and I still think it was the best year of my life. A person whose initial was E involved heavily and I still carry the memory of this person until the 5th phase of my life. 



The fourth phase is the 2 years I spent doing my Foundation. It was real crazy as mostly it was full of distractions other than studying. I was involved in so many things I don’t want to be involved in but things just happened although I believe there are reasons behind all those things. I felt I was lost and stuck somewhere, I couldn't find my past self and I was on the verge of giving up all the time. I was trying to stop chasing something that isn't destined to be mine to begin with.



The fifth phase is the 2 years I spent in Kuantan Campus and of course, more life lessons. I found another person worth to be called as Mr. Right but it is the fact that he’s just not right for me. But something else happened; more like, someone whose initial is S happened. A great friend and a great companion. I vowed I would never turn my back on S. 



The thing is, I was ready to say goodbye to all these phases so I could restart my life, a new beginning, perhaps. I have set up new blogs, new Facebook account, etc. for this to happen but it seems impossible to erase some things, some people and of course, some places from my life.


So I’ll try to live with them.


But what about the closure I was talking about earlier? I guess, the closure is just something that I want but will never get. 

So I'll just have to move on.

...and now, after those separate journeys I went through, I finally find a new path to walk on. A journey to finally reveal my true capability and to test whether I’m strong enough to depend on no one but myself. Whether this journey is going to make or break me, it is the one that I’m going to take until the end of my life.


p.s.: Happy birthday!

So I Watched The Lion King Again!

When I was younger, my early entertainments are more of Japanese anime... Like Doraemon! Of course, my interest in anime grows with me until today....

There are few times I watched Walt Disney Classics like Cinderella...

In other words, I never actually have strong memories of Disney's The Lion King, the sequel, and so on...

Which is why.. I don't know why.. What came over me...? I don't even know... So I checked out Wikipedia - as always, what are the early animations of Disney and then starting to download them..

I know it may sounds crazy but here I am.. age 22 and cried when I came to the scene of Mufasa's death...

My girlfriends are so..how do I put this.. well-versed with Disney Classics songs like the ones from Cinderella, Beauty and the Beast, and me? I don't even know who are the Disney Princesses are...

It's not that it is vital to know these things but I noticed when I'm among my girls, and my younger cousins... They will ask me, who is my favorite Disney Princess and I'll reply with Cinderella... but not because she's the best Princess I know but because she's the only Princess I know...

Something's missing inside of me.. No wonder I grew up unlike other girls into dresses, shoes, bags, and whatsoever...

whatever. whatever. I guess... I just have to believe in destiny... that there's reason behind all of this...

wait up. How  did I came to this conclusion? LOL

okay! okay! Let's just go back to 1991's Beauty and the Beast... I had a few things that I could recall about this but not pictures of memories..more like facts about it.. Who's the girl's name again? Betty? Adele?

Love Letter

I've been lying on this comfy bed for almost half an hour but I couldn't sleep... Though I just came back after spending the whole day in the library, I just can't sleep... Though I feel so tired and exhausted... I still can't close my eyes... I hugged Mr. D tightly, but I still feel uncomfortable... So many things in my head but I don't know what am I thinking right now...

I guess there's something is bothering me... I look outside the window, I can't see the moon tonight... I look at the ceiling, trying to search for something to look at... Nothing...

I look at my watch, it's almost midnight... I wonder why I couldn't sleep... Is it because of the final exams? It's possible though...

Snap! I quickly looked at my watch again... It's midnight and it's 11th of November! Now I remember why I just can't stop thinking about you recently... It's your birthday!

We know each other for 5 years already... but I feel like I've known you long before that... On this special day, I would like to wish you a very happy 21st birthday... I wish all the happiness in the world for you... All the best in everything you do... and mostly, I hope that you can get everything that you wished for...

Honestly, though I never said how I actually felt about you, I just want you to know that I do really care about you... Though you can't really tell from the way I look at you...

Do you still remember the first time we talked to each other? I can't forget that day... You refused to help me in Physics, though you were good at it back then... It's the first time I felt so rejected, you know? We never talked again after that day until the day you showed me your drawings to me and I felt so amazed with it...

If you notice, I never talk to any other person like the way I talk to you... Though you never look at me straight to my eyes, that's the thing I like the most about you... When you express your thoughts, you always be honest and selfless... Though you tried so hard like you know all the things in the world... But I always know that you were innocent... You never talked highly about yourself... You always said there are other people who are better than you...

If you ask me, I don't even remember since when I started to like you... I never actually realize the feeling that I had for you is that special... I just thought that the feeling will go away after awhile.. But it didn't... It never did... I thought it's just a simple crush... or I just infatuated... We were in high school... But I don't know why I acted so mature back then...

Now, after all these years... I still can sense your presence here with me... Though you are so far away from me... and all those things that happened back then, I feel like it just happened yesterday...

Truthfully, I always wished that things didn't turned the way like what happened last time...
I always wanted for things that happened between us didn't end like that...

So on this special day, your birthday... I would like to take this day where I finally say to you... and I'm sorry for taking this long to finally to be able say it in front of you...

I Love You... I Miss You... and I Really Need You... E.F. ...



With Love,
NMJ
