OH YAY! HELLO BLOGGER! I'VE MISSED YOU!
This blog's a little rusty, isn't it? Well, I've got good explanation! So my portfolio's deadline has just flew by. In other words, I have finally submitted my portfolio website and the awesome news is that, MY PORTFOLIO HAS BEEN ACCEPTED! Which means, I just have one final round of assessment, the oral defence, that I would have to pass in order for me to graduate! Except that, I still have 2 other areas which I have to also pass for this final year. Of course, the mighty FYP and this final module I am doing.

The next deadline I'll have to look out for would be my FYP midpoint whereby we have to present to others the update to our project, which means we would have to prepare some videos and evidence of our work. That'll be 10th November, which is in 10 days time. So I might not be blogging again till after that. Most probably.

Damn, I'm starting to feel the real pressure of being in the graduating cohort working our asses off to grab our diplomas and run out of school. Immediately.

But anyway. Yes, been working real hard this few weeks and I've finally got my website up and running. Except that haven't got my own domain, sadly. It's understandable that I do not know coding, programming, or anything of that matter thus explains why I did my website on Wix. Too bad I wasn't born super creative. But whatever. I just want this done and over with. Here's my website! (AND PLEASE. It's not even close to good, and I have no intention of showing anything off because I have nothing to show off in the first place. Purely so you can comment and I can improve for my final assessment.)

The Portfolio: www.wix.com/sakinahjumahat/portfolio
And my portfolio report and updates goes right here: theartofstory.tumblr.com

Do comment via 'Leave A Feedback'. And follow me on Tumblr!

And so this weekends, I finally got my rest after a few weeks of torment and being sick. Hahahaha, yes. Sakinah was sick. She's got sorethroat, some coughing going on, fever and a terrible flu. But she's feeling way better now. Just this weird thing of occasional coughing that comes crazily once in a while. Anyway. Caught the same movie twice with two different people. Hahahah. Wanted so badly to watch Jackass! But it was R21. That's two long years to go. And! Had a great gathering with the cousins on Friday night. (:

November's almost here. Another deadline to catch. Another film to make. We're going experimental for class! Wooohoo! That'll be interesting. And oh, BRUNO MARS! I still love him, will always do! :D

Just know dude, though I am miles and miles and miles away from you, I'll always have your back. Will be praying for the court case. You'll win. For sure. Feels like I know you. Like you've been a good friend before. So yes, Bruno. You can count on me. Like 1, 2, 3. HAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

Okay, okay. Here's some awesome music for you.

Create a playlist at MixPod.com

P.S: I'm super addicted to the first song. Haha. For real, man!
Okay. This has been a REALLY long post. Thank you for being here. And may we meet again soon!

Love,
Sakinah (:

You'll never do the same.

Oh brother.

2010-10-09T17:33:00.005+08:00

October is the month of birthdays, man! Guess whose is it today?
It's my brother's! WEEEEEEHEEE! :D
HAPPY BIRTHDAAAAY!
Two years older than the recently turned 25 year old Mars. (:

So dude. All I can say is THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BEING YOU. And even though you get annoyed with my overly passionate interest in Bruno Mars, you still show your support for him. Oh come on, I know both of my brothers actually do favour Bruno's music very much. Just that you guys feel ashamed to admit it. Oh come on. Hahahaha. Thanks for Doo-Wops & Hooligans! I'm enjoying every bit of it. Damn, I'm super ecstatic about it. Should have seen my reaction when it arrived at our doorstep. Haha!

Anyway. I hope that you'll find the perfect match soon and for all the other insincere ~~gold diggers~~ to just leave you alone. I believe you'll find her soon. I don't have to get married, but you MUST, okay! I am really looking forward to be your wedding planner and designer. Hahahaha. Hey, serious! And we need some serious camwhoring sessions. Look at how I don't even have a single photo of you to post here!

Love,
Sakinah (:

MARS TURNS 25! ♥

2010-10-08T15:00:00.001+08:00

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BRUNO MARS!

8th October 2010 just came by in LA, California. The incredibly amazing, talented and gorgeous Bruno Mars turns 25 today. And this video right here, has been made especially for you, Bruno. (:

If you're ever reading this, this one's for you.

I've became a fan eversince April this year. First song? Nothin' on You, of course. And then youtube made me go watch your videos, one after another. 'Again' was the second song I heard from you. I immediately recognised the song because a friend of mine, Noor made me listened to it a year back. I heard the official version by Natasha Bedingfield. And then I heard 'All About You'.

After a few songs, I decided to do some research and once I get them facts about you, I fell in love. WHOAAHOAA. Doesn't THAT sound cheesy? HAHAHAHAH. But anyway. I love your personality and am truly impressed by your talent and capabilities. YOU ARE AMAZING, you don't even know it. Since then, I hear many more of your songs, from the demos, to the incomplete versions until your songs were made official. I've got your mixtapes, EP, featured songs and finally, the album. Up till now, I have 63 of your songs. Yes, I LOOOVE your art!

I know there is no way in hell, heaven OR earth, that I can ever meet you. But it's okay. You just need to know that you've got my support in everything that you do. Just be yourself, and make your family, friends and fans proud. Continue rocking on, love, cause you deserve to do what you love most - music.

Don't let them critics, haters and annoying idiots bring you down! They're just jealous they aren't as awesome as you are. (:

With superloads of LOVE,
Sakinah ♥

The nineteenth year of Mas.

2010-10-07T00:28:00.004+08:00

Yes, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Hahahahahahaha. What a mugshot. Plus look at her height. 7", seriously? You've grown that much within a day of being a year older? Haha!

But anyway, here hoping you'll have an AMAZINGLY AWESOME birthday ahead! Don't worry. We'll get through school, together, alright? Hahaha. You'll graduate soon with great results and a terrific job awaiting just for you. So, hold on! We're at the last lap! And stay cheerful always, okay! Or I won't have my crap buddy to do all the stupid things I always enjoy doing. We love you just the way you are. (a WISE and HOT man once said. haha.)

Have fun!

Love,
Sakinah (:

Your smile.

2010-10-05T00:19:00.004+08:00

The whole world stopped. And stared. For the longest time.

Love,
Sakinah (:

To eternity and beyond!

2010-10-02T14:01:00.003+08:00

HELL YEAH. MY DOO-WOPS & HOOLIGANS HAS ARRIVED. (:
WOOHOOOHOOOO OH YEAH OH YEAH!~

I shall listen to this till I die. OH GOD I LOVE BRUNO MARS. Hahahahaha.

YAY!!!! :D

Love,
Sakinah (:

That's all it'll ever be.

Mars pride! (:

2010-09-23T23:21:00.006+08:00

BRUNO'S TOPPING THE BILLBOARDS! HERE'S PROOF.

YES. THAT'S THE MAN. BRUNO MARS.
He killed them both, Eminem AND Rihanna.
The man that came along in my life some when in April. However, I have actually been listening to him since last year, believe it or not. Just that I mistook that one song for Frankie J's. It was called Runaway (I have posted this song sometime last year). Never did I knew that was actually Bruno and not Frankie J. Ok, I hate having to compare them both because I just love them. Period.

But anyway, Bruno's been receiving an amazing amount of publicity lately. He's been everywhere and has been doing shows after shows. And thankfully I am able to catch up with them all, thanks to the power of the internet.

So he has released two songs off his upcoming album, one of which I have posted in my previous post. This one, has been performed for around 4 times or so during his shows. I have also posted the live version before, the one he performed for the very first time. This one's the studio version. It's perfect.

And this one's real cute. Up till now, he has only performed this once on an exclusive radio show.

So that makes it 4 new songs off his album that we have heard! Another one's 'Marry You' that he performed in NYC, also for the first time.

1. Grenade (HEARD!)
2. Just The Way You Are (HEARD!)
3. Our First Time (HEARD!)
4. Runaway Baby
5. The Lazy Song (HEARD!)
6. Marry You (HEARD!)
7. Talking To The Moon (HEARD! FROM EP)
8. Liquor Store Blues (ft. Damian Marley) (HEARD!)
9. Count On Me (HEARD! FROM EP)
10. The Other Side (ft. Cee Lo Green & B.o.B) (HEARD! FROM EP)

It was pretty sad to see 'Somewhere In Brooklyn', nowhere in his album, though becase it was a great song. So I have yet to hear the full versions of 'Marry You' and 'The Lazy Song' and the official version of 'Our First Time' and the unheard 'Runaway Baby'.

Wow. What have you done to my life, Bruno? HAHAHA. Ok, this will the final video of the day. This is proof of his talent. And the fact that he can actually sing live, no matter what situation it is. Observe.

Oh right! Current update about my life, instead - I'm done with production! WOOHOOO! Let's pray and hope that everything will turn out great and a re-shoot will NEVER be necessary. I shall have my reward; ALL DAY SLEEP.

Love,
Sakinah (:

Oh, nothing at all.

Imperfections.

2010-09-22T00:10:00.003+08:00

So, Bruno did something foolish and news started spreading like wild fire. People are starting to hate on him. But amidst all this madness, what people are unable to realise is that even celebrities are humans. They make mistakes. And so do us all, thus depicting ourselves as imperfect.

I have to admit, what Bruno did was not exactly the rightful thing. It was good though to have him arrested early before addiction kicks in. I'm glad that it was in fact his first time, so that makes him a pretty innocent person having a curiosity to try something new. Don't we all feel a need to try new things in life? Only his choice wasn't exactly wise, and now he knows.

I still do, and will always have faith in him. Because I get the facts right and I know what kind of person Bruno is. So to all you idiots who prefer to assume and trust in just a basic headline, your life is nothing but a lie. Go figure your life.

On the sunny side up! Bruno has released one of his songs off his upcoming album! Oh my God! :D I can't wait for it to be delivered!

"I’ll take one shot for my pain, one track for my sorrow, get messed up today, I’ll be okay tomorrow."
- Bruno Mars ♥

Love,
Sakinah (:

You can count on me.

I'm not obsessed. Thank you.

2010-09-16T23:42:00.003+08:00

My semester one of the final year IS OVEEEER! *applause*
And so, I am left with my last semester of school. And then, it's work, work and work! I want money, money, and MORE MONEEEEEY!

I've got so much in mind. Already got my list of things to do when my first pay comes. Hahahahahaha. And I'm not even done with school yet. Hoping and praying real hard, my final semester will be good for me to safely graduate. I'm looking forward to you, 2011.

Damn, I need a time machine. And a world machine, as well? I want to transport myself to LA. Seeing him from afar, in just one freaking concert will be enough. That's all I need.

Love,
Sakinah (:

Raya!

2010-09-13T00:10:00.004+08:00

Hello! It's HARI RAYA MONTH, BAYBEEEHHHH! :D
Yes, in fact, it is the fourth day already.
Had an awesome time the past few days of raya! My cousins, you guys are loved. (:

By the way, Bruno's Just The Way You Are's music video has been released last Wednesday est time! Sorry for the delayed update, but without further ado, I shall share with you the out of the world video of the year! Haha! ;)

The girl's gorgeous, right? You just have to agree! Looking familiar? You might have seen her starring as Neela in Fast & Furious: Tokyo Drift! Her name's Nathalie Kelley, and she's real pretty. I don't mind if Bruno and her gets together. They look cute together. But I believe Bruno loves his current girlfriend deeply, that's how Just The Way You Are came up. Right? Right!

So, the upcoming update of Bruno is that he'll be performing on the VMAs 2010 later at 8am Singapore/Hongkong time, live. I can't wait! And I also can't wait for the arrival of his album right to my doorstep! :D

And Will Smith got awesome kids! Here's his daughter with a new song. SHE SOUNDS TOO GOOD TO BELIEVE.
AND SHE'S ONLY NINE.

Sounds so much like Rihanna, agree? And her hair too! Good music, there, sweetheart!

Love,
Sakinah (:

Day one, done (:

2010-09-07T21:26:00.004+08:00

Today we've completed the very first scene of our film (:
And for that, we shall all be awarded with the greatest songs as of now.

Love,
Sakinah (:

I got it, I got it!

2010-09-02T11:01:00.003+08:00

YESSSSS! I HAVE PRE-ORDERED BRUNO'S ALBUM! :D

It happened yesterday! Haha. I have to thank my brother especially for being supportive and allowing me to use his card. I have the best brother in the whole wide world, indeed ;)

Wanted so badly to get the premium pack! But I know for sure I won't be one of the first 200 or even 500. So I wouldn't get Bruno's autograph and polaroid. Sadly. But still! I feel so glad that I got his album FOR REAL. Just waiting for it to arrive this 5th October!~

Things I would do to show my love for you, Bruno Mars. Hahahaha. You better work hard and be at the top of the charts! (That totally rhymes! WOOHOO.)

Love,
Sakinah (:

You don't know what tomorrow brings.

DOO WOPS & HOOLIGANS!

2010-08-31T11:47:00.003+08:00

YES. BRUNO MARS' ALBUM'S ART HAS BEEN REVEALED. YAY! :D
And yes, I am THAT fanatic. Pre-orders begin in a few hours time. In the meantime, please do help me pray that brother will help me out in the pre-ordering. I really, really, really do want it SOOOOO BAAAAD.

By the way, this song below might just be my new favourite song. Haha. It's one of his songs from the upcoming album. WOOHOO. I can tell that the album will be a BLAST. This song really is beautiful. Listen.

Ok, got to go!

Love,
Sakinah (:

Arigato!

2010-08-26T23:46:00.005+08:00

Hello (:
Today had been a pretty sweet day. Started of doing a little cleaning up. Then baked some cookies! Modified an original recipe because we didn't quite have the exact materials. Ended up baking vanilla flavoured cookies with white chocolate. Still, yummy!

That took up some time. Did some decorating on the cookie. Hahaha. Mom's consideiring it for Raya. So, I have succeeded! Went out to meet Nurul in the evening. Paid a visit to her workplace. It was amazing. Didn't expect it to be hugeeee. Nice place with great people. I'd love to work there too, but unlike Nurul, I might not be the best person for those lovely kids.

OH YES. Nurul has already started working. This just proves one thing. We're finally adults! Eww. I just wish God gave us more time to play around and climb on bars and throw sand at each other. Growing up is scary. No doubt about it.

AND OMG! BRUNO HAS FINALLY RELEASED HIS OFFICIAL ALBUM'S TITLE AND RELEASE DATE!
DOO-WOPS & HOOLIGANS, WILL BE RELEASED ON 5TH OCTOBER 2010.
But in US. Boo. Still, I'm super excited! I'm hoping to be able to pre-order it, really. Please, please, please. I really want it so bad. Heard two of his album songs in his most recent show in New York. And it's just awesome. Can't wait to hear the rest. AAAAAHHHHHHHHHH :D

Ok. I'm too excited. I've got to go. By the way, thank you Nurul for the cute name chain and for the great, great time spent today! Oh, by the way, sashimi will NEVER come near me EVER AGAIN. Bye.

Love,
Sakinah (:

Count on me.

2010-08-22T22:37:00.011+08:00

It's the 13th of Ramadhan already (:
Which means, 27 more days to Hari Raya, 15 more days to UT3, 22 more days to my final semester of school, but sadly, 7 more months till I graduate! (why can't that be a matter of days, too?!) Wow, that's quite a lot of Maths. Haha.

But anyway. An update; I'm currently having sorethroat and feeling seriously ultimately hungry even though I did break fast 4 hours ago. Life's pretty much the same. Trying to piece the remaining school stuff together so I can finally get out and get a life. Haha. Yeah all those, portfolio, final year project, and my grades.

Hopefully will be able to secure a comfortable temporary job in the last 2 or 3 months of my final semester so I can save up for my real job after March. I have to start thinking about my life. Hahahaha. Hey! I'm serious. Whoa. Sure feels tiring to be all grown up now. I'd rather be tired from running around the field and I'd prefer getting scolded for not cleaning up my toys. But time flies, classic line, you know.

Haven't been posting songs for quite some time now. Ok, I'll post when I've got them good ones, okay! Oh, by the way! Bruno's finishing his album soon! WOOOHOOOHOOOO! I'm too excited! :D

Ok, going off for now. Goodnight people.

Love,
Sakinah (:

What if.

2010-08-14T00:08:00.007+08:00

OH MY GOD. WHAT HAPPENED TO MY BLOG. IT'S ALMOST DEAD.

But no worries! Because I'm back, people! :D Wooohoo! And guess what, semester one of my final year HAS OFFICIALLY ENDED! Ok, maybe not so yet, because I still have my tests coming up. But yes, my classes have officially ended. It's been a crazy semester for not only me, but I'm pretty sure for many others too. What more, people in the graduating cohort. Oh I can't wait till Graduation Day. But you know, I'll definitely miss school. The people, less expensive food (can't say cheap, because it isn't exactly that cheap), the journey I take every single day, to and fro, and yes, lessons.

I'm most probably coming back for class one day per week next semester, (HOPEFULLY) so I won't get to see the normal peeps I see everyday. The final year people get closer time passes by. I love our cohort to bits and pieces. We're awesome. Haha. Yay (:

Anyway. I always do up a special class edition of my blog everytime the semester ends. So here comes the slightly shorter version. Pretty much a summary.

Dear guys, I'M SO GOING TO MISS ALL OF YOU! It's insanity beyond control every single day in class and I'm definitely going to miss hearing each and every one of your laughter and awfully noisy voices. Hahaha. I have enjoyed my time with all of you people, and I hope someday, we'll get to work together again, yeah. And we'll get to play the alphabet game again. And minipoly. Haha.

It's so amazing how each and every one of you are talented in your own ways. You guys are going to be kickass designers and filmmakers one day, I'm pretty sure. Hoping to keep in contact with you awesome people!

And to my beautifully amazing girls...

I REALLY DO HOPE WE'LL GET STUCK WITH EACH OTHER AGAIN NEXT SEMESTER!! We better do! Because if we're not, I might just die. Hahahaha. Yes, it's that bad. Even though it might be one day of school (pray hard!) i don't want my final semester to be spent with people I can't clique with. I don't want to end up crying in a corner because I don't have friends! :'( Now I sound like a loner with only 3 friends. Hahahaha.

My final semester better be fun! Oh man. Thinking of it scares me much. Final semester, FYP, portfolio, THEN, GRADUATE. I must graduate. Oh please, God. Don't torture me any longer.

Anyway. Thank you to all you great, great earthlings for withstanding me in your class. Haha. I enjoyed my semester, though it's VERY exhausting. And I do want to work with you all again soon, hopefully! And to Poy, Mas and Katini, please pray harder we'll be in the same class! I need you girls!

Love,
Sakinah (:

Eigth's here.

2010-07-26T08:24:00.003+08:00

This totally made my day. Too funny! I love Emma Stone!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH. Watching it again, again and again. There was a comment saying, "She's so relatable, it's scary." HAHA. Almost true. Have got to catch Easy A.

Love,
Sakinah (:

Get it right.

2010-07-26T00:49:00.006+08:00

HELLO!

Man, I just got to read this post on Bruno Mars and I saw quite a few negative comments. Everybody is entitled to their own opinions, I understand. But I've got something I feel that I need to put out here. People were saying that he's just another new artist who sound very much like other new artists; Iyaz, Jason Derulo, Taio Cruz and more.

What you people need to know is that he isn't at all a new artist. He deserves the appreciation he gets now because he gave the music industry so much and never asks for anything in return. He came a long way to be what he is, now. His passion for music is unbelievable. He started singing since he was four. Eversince, he's been in the entertainment industry.

He can sing, play many instruments, write, produce, dance; among many. And he produced songs for quite a number of artists; Sean Kingston, Natasha Bedingfield, K'Naan, Matisyahu, Brandy, Cobra Starship, Adam Levine, Flo Rida, Alexandra Burke, BoB, Travie McCoy, Sugababes, even Justin Bieber. So who you're calling just another new artist?! Huh, huh, huh?! Hahahaha. I'm not mad, just slightly worried that people get the wrong impression of him. So, people, please get the facts right. And if you haven't heard of him, GO LISTEN TO HIS SONGS ALREADY! You're way behind time!

Anyway, here's some songs which are pretty good and I like it. I don't only listen to Bruno Mars, obviously. Not at that point of being super obsessive, just yet.

Create a playlist at MixPod.com

And yes, I'm left with only 3 weeks of semester one. Soon, it's the semester two of my final year! How time flies! But I wish it flies even faster. So I can be over and done with all these workload. I'm so tired.

Anyway, have a great week ahead, everybody!

Love,
Sakinah (:

I tried hiding.

2010-07-22T00:44:00.009+08:00

Hello, hello!
So in case you missed it, whatever happened last night shall never repeat itself. I've had enough of this kind of diarrhoea. The one that makes you almost lose your stomach and leave you famished like mad. A tiny weeny bit of pain is still in there, though. Hope it'll be gone by morning.

Here to share with you some great B.o.B songs of all time! Ok, joke. He just released his album so, not exactly all time yet. But still, songs worth listening to! The tracks are arranged according to my preference level. Woohoo.

Ok, got to go!

Loves,
Sakinah (:

There's nothing worse than feeling like a ghost.

Because you're amazing.

2010-07-20T21:48:00.007+08:00

Let's not talk about how horrible my last night was, and focus on what we've got here, shall we? Bruno Mars first single off the debut album is here (:

My stomach almost died last night, serious. But with this, I feel way much better already. Physically, and emotionally. Thank you for making life so wonderful. (Even though the song is not exactly meant for me. Haha.) His official website is up too, by the way! Go visit!

If perfect is what you're searching for, then just stay the same.

Hello Internet world! (:
Just got back a few minutes ago from the movies. Courtesy of my brother, who's back from camp. Yay! Another movie treat. Looks like I'll be getting a movie treat every weekend, yes? Hope so! Hahaha. Thank you, dudeeeee.

Anyway, we caught Inception. And I've got to say, it's terrible. Like who the hell would write such a story. Like, seriously.

NOT SERIOUSLY! JOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOKING.
(Hahaha, what the hell, Sakinah.)

Ok, truth is, the story's awesome! Loved it. Very much. The producers and directors are birlliant. And the effects people. And the sound people. Just, everybody, the cast and production crew who made it possible. Hahaha. Had to say that because I can somewhat guess how much effort they put in. Like overflowing amount of effort.

I want to badly write out what I saw here, but it'll will be spoiling the mood and fun of the story if you're planning to watch it. Wait, don't even plan. You must! Whoa. It's a psychological thriller by the way. Well, to me. You'll understand if you don't talk in a the theatre and instead focus on the screen you paid to watch. Unlike some people who complain so much just because she paid to chit chat in the theatre. Blurghh. Annoying chatty people. Wasn't pintpointing anyone, by the way. Just that woman who kept complaining on the way out of the movie. Hahahahaha.

Ok, so I have this truckload of school stuff to do tomorrow. And I guess I'm off to sleep. But before that I shall give you another reason why you should probably catch Inception.

Boy oh boy.

THE VIDEO IS HEREEEEE! (:

But I've got a strong feeling this isn't the finalised video for The Other Side. There will be the ultimate real one with B.o.B and Cee-Lo in it, I guess.

However, I LOOOOVE THIS ONE VERY MUCH. Hahaha. Obviously. It's Bruno Mars! And this clip is all about him. He looks too amazing and too attractive, I can just die watching this video. HAHA. I'm serious. By the way, his girlfriend's in this video too. And apparently people are saying that he admitted himself as single, which I strongly do not believe. He's got so much to be proud of his girlfriend. She is a great person. One thing I know, she saw Bruno when he was invisible. We didn't. So yeah, they deserve to be together. And I hope, he'll be happy as always.

I can say now, that I am so proud of him. Alas, his efforts are appreciated and his music is spreading fast. He's been waiting for this opportunity for far too long. Oh man. I sound like his mom or something. Aaaah whatever. Just know dude, I'm one big fan of yours ;)

Love,
Sakinah (:

There's no other way.

Someone's married now!

2010-07-11T21:47:00.008+08:00

HEY ALL! (:

So yesterday the very first secondary school mate got MARRIED! Oh and today's her birthday, so.. HAPPY BIRTHDAY AYU! May this birthday be an unforgettable one for you. Be a great wife and may the love between you and your husband flourish till forever. Happy nineteenth, my dear.

Looking gorgeous, as always!
And we hope you love the wedding + birthday gift Nurul, Nisha and me got for you too ;)

Yesterday was also some sort of a secondary school reunion for us all. I was so embarrassed to attend the wedding at first, because it's been real long since I met the other school mates. I thought it'll be kind of weird and awkward. Got to agree, there were some awkward moments I wish I can just laugh it out loud. But yeah. I survived! Hahaha.

It was great seeing people you used to see like everyday of your lives. It was even better getting to catch up with them. Haven't heard from them for soooooooo long. Except for Nurul and Nisha. Yes, they are the only two I still constantly keep in contact with ever since secondary school. I didn't quite have the best time of my life in secondary school. Haha. I can laugh it out loud now.

There you go, my secondary school peeps. A lot of them who I expected to come, were absent, though. The dudes weren't in the picture because they were busy eating at that point of time -___-"

So once again, congratulations Ayu!

I've got it all planned out for Nurul. I'm definitely excited. I want to do the design concept so badly! And yes, I've got it all secretly planned out for my brother too. Dude, you've got to trust me. I've got the talent. Wedding of the year, just wait and see.

HAHA.

Sakinah (:

Time's running out. We don't have forever.

Money, money, fall on me.

2010-07-06T22:59:00.008+08:00

I WANT! (:

And even though I don't quite wear makeup, I still want this please. Thanks.

Love,
Sakinah (:

HEY HOOOO PEOPLEE.
Been quite some time since I posted something, eh? So, hello again!

Ok, this week has been a rather hectic one. More frenzy weeks to come! I need to really start organizing my time so I'll be able to handle the work load I have. Whoaa. Anyway! Here's some good music for your ears!

Create a playlist at MixPod.com

And as per normal, BRUNO MAAAAARS! AAAAAHHH. He's still loved, no worries. I'm signed to the Mars army! No way of being forgotten.

I want to hangout with these guys, so freaking bad. They never take themselves and their work seriously. It's just awesome.

Love,
Sakinah (:

Impossible.

2010-06-26T21:07:00.001+08:00

This is hilarious! Hahahah.

And this song, is beautiful.

I had an amazing time out with Dawn today. Thank you darling.

Love,
Sakinah (:

Life, where are you?

2010-06-25T18:42:00.009+08:00

The start of the first song below by Usher sounds so much like Love In This Club (part 2), agree? And I'm so addicted to the third song below by the one and only... BRUNO MARS! (: Which by the way, is produced by him and meant for some female group or female artiste. If you do notice the lyrics. It's the demo. Still, NICE.

Aha! Guess what...
THIS IS MY BLOG POST NUMBER 301! YAYYY! (:

I made it past 300 after like 3 or 4 blog changes. I manage to stick to this one. Woohooo! Ok so, it's 5 hours ++ before the end of today, thus marking the start of weekends. Like, finally. Whoa. But still, I've got SUPER DUPER LOTS of work to do during these weekends.

Hopefully will get the chance to meet up with Dawn, my darling, tomorrow. OH YES! Her birthday was last Wednesday! Didn't do up a post on that one. But I hope she did had an amazing 19th, still! To Dawn, I'm really sorry I didn't meet you up on that itself and give you a gift. Wish we could meet everyday again, like old times. It was pretty sad because she had to go for her internship while I get stucked in school.

Anyway. School. Yes. For your information, I currently have lost my life to school. So don't question me about how much fun I had in life. Wow, now that sounds depressing, doesn't it? HAHA. Ok, I'm not at that extreme stage yet. But just watch me as the months go by. Especially this July, August, September, October, November. When December comes, I'll be so joyful that I might just die.

Kidding! What the hell.

So yeah. Watch me crumble and roll along the floor as school destroy my life completely. As soon as I'm done with school, I'm securing a job. And by the first pay, I'm finishing up all the money within one day. Now, that's life.

Love,
Sakinah (:

Don't you wish there was a button we could reset?

Family, family.

2010-06-21T09:27:00.006+08:00

Doing a quick post before I get ready for school!

So weekends was just alright. Saturday was nice though. Spent the entire day with my brother. Aww (: Yes, he was back from NS on Friday. So the very next day we went for lunch and movie together. We watched this!

I was pretty reluctant, actually. Because I don't quite like shows like this. BUT. I totally enjoyed it! It was really emotional at the end. The storyline was great too. So, yay! Hahaha. Then after the movie we walked back home, armed with icecream in hand. And dude, I'll remember forever that you did say you are going to treat me to Swensens. Forever, dude. Hahahaha. You know I love you despite how annoying you can be. Sorry didn't say a proper goodbye to you yesterday before you left!

But anyway. Yes. That was the only life I had during weekends. Had to continue stamp-ing. And guess what? I'm like just finally done 10 minutes ago.

OH YESSSS.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MUM!!!! :DD
and
HAPPY FATHERS' DAY, DAD!!!! ((:

You guys are the BEST.

Love,
Sakinah (:

We did not just trespass, did we?

2010-06-18T21:53:00.001+08:00

THE MARS ARMY! HAHAHAHA! :D
And come on dude, it's waaaaaaay waaaaay much more than 7.
I'm definitely in!

Watch live streaming video from aplive at livestream.com

Hahahaha. Oh man, You just gotta love him. Anyway. My brother's back again! Wooohoo!

I am so, so, tired. We all went to recce locations for filming today. After school, we headed to Botanic Gardens to check out the Tyresall Mansion. It's an old mansion which used to be the house of the Sultan of Johor. Said to be haunted, but I don't know. So we manage to find the gates.

But there was no way to enter, except for climbing over the gates. So yes, we did, after much given thought and considerations. And yeaaah! I can't believe I manage to get to the other side too! Our classmates told us that the route to the mansion, after the gate is a pretty long one within the forests. But as we were walking, we came to a dead end. The route no longer is evident and all we can see is a hill. I guess that's where the mansion lies.

Bear in mind that some of us were wearing slippers and obviously inappropriate attire. I've gotta give it to Hani though for being the coolest despite wearing slippers and a dress. So, back to the adventure. We decided not to go uphill because it was kind of getting late and it might be a little dangerous as we had only 6 people with us. The hill was steep and muddy. So after much thinking, we turned back towards the gate. Till next time, yeah mansion.

So we climbed over the fence again. It was much harder this time. I have no idea why. And then piaaaaak! Yes, I tore my pants. Thank God it wasn't major. So, possible still to hide it. They all enjoyed the moment so much. Thanks eh guys. HAHAHAHA. But I got to admit, it WAS hilarious.

After the tiring ordeal, we sat down by McDonals sipping some float! Yay! Then my team had to go, leaving me with the other team. So I showed them the old premises of a hospice. It was pretty cool there, too. And waaaaay easier. No fences, no gates. No forests! Cool place, really.

Wooohooo. I'm tired. And a small portion of my palm is swollen. Boo.

Love,
Sakinah (:

Where's the reset button?

2010-06-18T01:10:00.005+08:00

My brother's coming back in around 17 hours time! (:
In the meantime, check this out.

So class was pretty fun today cause we did a silhouette thingy, using paper puppets. Class was about fitting appropriate visuals into music. And guess what was the RJ question for today?

Hahahahaahaaha. Definitely wasn't submitted that way. But still, true. So. Came back home pretty early today and switched on to MTV and they're playing MTV Recommends and guess who's video was on? It was Bruno Mars, y'all! WOOHOOO! It's like fated, you see. ;) Hahahaha.

OH YES! Bruno's making so much appearances nowadays. First was Ellen, then Jimmy Kimmel, recently was Jay Leno. And gess who's next? Jimmy Fallon! Oh my. I'm so proud of him. God knows. Yay (:

It's Friday alreaaaady! Just got to survive one last day before I get some time to breathe. Even so, I still have Design Studio work to do. What a life, seriously! I want to go back to those days I don't even have to worry a thing.

And when I can fit into boxes and move with them.
I miss my childhood.

Love,
Sakinah (:

We love random stuff.

2010-06-15T23:00:00.007+08:00

HIIIIIIIIIIII!! :DD
Yes, I am that happy today. My two friends, Mas and Hani do listen to Bruno Mars. And so does Nurul and Katini. See, I've got proof! Haha! Thank you, sweetheart (:

Go Bruno, I'm right behind you. And he's performing on Jay Leno on the night of 15th June. If you don't already know, we are in that night right now. But people over in the US are currently still going through their morning routine. In fact, it's 9am there, now. Wow. I feel like a time traveler. Anyway!

Today, we had a pretty long day, most of that daytime spent on waiting for our dearest advisor, Juraimi the ultimately busy man. I seriously pity him. It must have been so exhausting to be him. We're lucky enough not to be running around attending interviews and meetings in between classes and student meetings. Oh dear. Poor guy.

So! We finally get to meet him and discuss FYP business at 6. Yes. What we did during those 6 long hours of waiting? Discussed the script (we're progressing!), stare into our laptops, watched some clips (waka waka!), stare into our laptops again and, and, and we played THE PHOTOSHOP GAME!

The rules of the game are simple. Pick some random items and use Photoshop to create something out of it. Simple enough, yes? NO! Hahaha. Because we mean it, when we say, random.

So the two players are just me and Afiq, with the aid of Hani and Mas. The first one was just me and Afiq. He came up with cloud, blue and spoon. And tadaaa!

It's an ad for the ice cream scooooooper! Woooohooo!
Then we had Hani suggesting mobile phone, pink and Lady Gaga.

Hah! Lovely.

Then we had popcorns, bowl, purple and green.
Barney just pops in my mind then. Haha.

Dude, who sells popcorns by the road? In the middle of the night, outdoors?
I then suggested nose, Hani said jeans, and Afiq said electric blue.
So there you go. My favourite (:

WOOHOOOO.

And the best part of our game is, nobody wins, nobody lose. Awesome. Hahaha. Actally not quite! So next time, we must have a winner!

Alright. I'm not going to have my virtual brother today cause I've pretty much said everything. Hahahaha. And I'm pretty lazy. Come on, that happens in real life too. You get too tired to even talk to your own brother. Man, that sounds so mean when typed here. I do still miss my brother though! Hope he manage to live through his day. Hahahaha. It's called manhood. When he comes back, I'm making sure he makes his bed everyday and washes his own clothes. And! Maybe lending me a hand in doing mine? Perfect.

Love,
Sakinah (:

I got your back.

We're going insane.

2010-06-14T22:08:00.001+08:00

Hello.
School's here again.
Oh no.
Here comes the pain.

Ok, that's totally random. ANYWAAAAY! Brother's gone back to HTA on Sunday night so here comes my virtual brother again.

Dear brother...

ONE: You shouldn't have called to tell mom what happened. She cried pretty bad!

TWO: I hate to say this, BUT I TOLD YOU SO. Many times, I told you to learn how to iron clothes, didn't I? See! Stubborn. Hmph!

THREE: I had Hawaiian Pizza just now. HAHA. I know right.

FOUR: Nurul loves Bruno Mars songs. YAY (: See, I wasn't lying when I told you I'm going to convert everyone into his fans. Hahahaha.

FIVE: Oh yes! I treated my phone pretty bad yesterday. Dropped it, and I kicked it. Yes. Kick. It. I swear it was accidental.

SIX: I wasn't late for school today. Awesome.

SEVEN: Don't worry about tomorrow. It'll pass right before your eyes.

EIGHT: I made a fool of myself in the bus today. I was on the phone, trying to tap my card, had my laptop, and was trying to balance while the bus was moving. This is where imagination comes in.

Ok, it ends there for today! I'm tired and a list of things to be done by tonight is starting to pile up. Wish me luck, people.

Love,
Sakinah (:

What if.

Head over heels.

2010-06-13T01:11:00.001+08:00

OOOH BRUNOOO MAAAARS! (:

Hahaha. Ok, I'm sorry. A little too fanatic. Whatever. I don't care what's your opinion about someone being head over heels for this guy. You're just jealous. Boo.

Ok, what the hell, seriously. I just turn crappier by the minute. So YES! Here's the earlier version (I guess) of Billionaire! Minus the Travie and with Phil instead. AND THERE'S BRUNO RAPPING!! So it's a MUST hear, whether you like it or not. Hah.

School's starting in a day time. And guess what? I haven't done anything. Yes, nothing. Damn that 15 stamps. Oh yes! Guess what? My portfolio's deadline is by 28th October. FYP, November. Got to go. Need to prepare my will.

Oh school, till death do us apart.

Love,
Sakinah (:

If I gave you my heart, be gentle.

Mixed. And matched.

2010-06-11T23:58:00.001+08:00

MY BROTHER'S BAAAAACK! :DD
It came as a surprise for us all. He totally didn't tell us and he came knocking on my window. Aww (: So yes. We were all shocked, indeed. But gladly shocked.

Turns out that regulars don't have to wait after ten days to come back. Yay. So I won't be needing my virtual brother today because I have the real one, right here at home. Awesome. We just had dinner at 10 just now after I tried out his uniform. Reminiscing those good ol' uniform group days ;)

Anyway. Tried out the McFlurry mix and match today. OH MY GOODNESS. IT WAS SOOOOO GOOOOOOD. It actually depends on which topping you choose to add on. I had chocoloate chips and cornetto cone bits. It tasted, oh-so-very-delightful. How can it not? It's icecream!

I'd like a heart-shaped ice cream too!

And by the way. This the official remix of Waving Flag for Coca Cola for the World Cup. I posted the original album version in the previous post. This one's got Bruno Mars from 0:12 to 0:18!! Though they should have showed more of him and Phil. Still, YAY!

Love,
Sakinah (:

But oh what can I do.

And then it goes back.

2010-06-10T23:57:00.001+08:00

Hey people! (:
Without further ado, may I present to you yet another hit The Smeezingtons produced... Waving Flag, everybody! And here's the original album version. What you might always hear would be the FIFA World Cup version.

Support them! And every single masterpice they produce and perform!

Dear brother...

ONE: I totally heard Billionaire again today during lunch. I'm so proud that Singapore's playing Bruno's songs! Continue playing more of his music ok! And I'll be supporting this country's media all the way.

TWO: I spent a little too much on food today. Oh ho no ho.

THREE: I had diarrhoea for like 15 minutes of my life just now. Trust me, it hurts like hell.

FOUR: Your room is always so empty nowadays. No activities going on and it's so extremely quiet. When one brother goes away, the other tend to work a little too hard and it gets difficult to see him on a daily basis.

FIVE: BUT. Eldest brother helped fill up 10 survey forms (he distributed it, duh) He's so niceee! Hahahaha.

SIX: I'm already sleepy. Come back home soon, alright.

Love,
Sakinah (:

The choices we make.

2010-06-09T22:50:00.003+08:00

Second day. So here goes my virtual brother. But before that! Mas misses her boyfriend. Aww ): I may not understand how she feel, but I hope she'll feel better soon. See, how love can be so amazingly strong? That took 3 years.

Reminded me of my eldest brother and his previous girlfriend. That took 5 years and a simple decision to destroy it all. Life is always a matter of choice, isn't it?

But anyway.

Dear brother...

ONE: I ate at McDonalds. Again.

TWO: I was eating. Then, then, guess what. BILLIONAIRE WAS PLAYING IN THE BACKGROUND MUSIC!!! I almost jumped in joy. Hahahah. How can I not, when it's Bruno Mars?! Ok. Awesome shit.

THREE: I am seriously disgusted at the huge ego and ignorance of heartless human beings. How can people ever have mindsets like that?! WHAAAT! Ok, something quite sensitive of an issue so I might not be able to post here. But if you, brother, is not virtual I would have ranted non-stop.

FOUR: We were discussing when suddenly. BOOOM! It's Billionaire. AGAIN. OMGGG. Seriously. Is this a sign I'm meeting Bruno Mars soon? I wish.

FIVE: I feel so embarrased today. We gave up our dignity for FYP! Ok, that sounds so wrong. Dignity, as in doing shameless thing like forcing strangers, face to face, into doing our surveys. (In town!) So embarrasing ok. But we had to. This is life. A matter of choice!

SIX: I fell at interchange. Damn, the floor was slippery! But you'll be more than glad to know that so many people saw it.
So yes.

SEVEN: My shoulder hurts. So bad. So does my back body. I need a massage!

EIGHT: I want to go out with Nurul, so badly! I had to reject her invitation to go out tomorrow. Thanks eh FYP. (I am so, so, so SORRY Nurul!)

NINE: NURUL HELPED ME ~~SPAM~~ SPREAD THE SURVEY TO 56 EARTHLINGS! YAAAYYYYY!

So yeah. What an experience today. Looks like holidays should be renamed. Extended school days. Oh life.

AND YES. Do this survey, if you haven't. Do, or die.
http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/SGRQKRR

Love,
Sakinah (:

Wish you were here.

Day 1.

2010-06-08T23:42:00.004+08:00

My elder brother left for National Service earlier today ):
I'm already missing him.
He might be the most annoying person on Earth, but truth is, he is the only one who remembers exactly what I might have told him. He remembers the exact words, and for me, that is super sweet. It means he pays attention. To my life.
He's been my best friend since forever.

Ok, now I'm starting to sound too depressed. Haha. Come on, he'll be back in 10 days time! Ok anyway. I've got lots to tell him. Yes, in a matter of one day. And since he's not here to listen, I'll pretend he's virtually here.

So dear brother...

ONE: This morning, I took the MRT with this cute dude who sat across me. It was around five stops after that his phone rang, or could possibly be a text message. That was the moment. The ringtone. IT WAS BRUUUUNO MAAAARSSS!!!! It was Count On Me, to be exact. I was literally screaming. In my heart. Almost, almost came out of my mouth. Thank God I restrained, real bad. I wanted to just run to him (ok, I can just walk over) and like go, "Dude. YOU LISTEN TO BRUNO MARS. I love you."

TWO: I ate at McDonalds. Haha.

THREE: Katini texted me while I was having FYP. Guess what? Her sis is in love with Bruno too! YAAAAAAYY! :D See. I told you he'll do big. And I will convert every human on earth into a Bruno Mars' fan. Ok, not exactly everyone. Too many can be annoying. Just the awesome bunch.

FOUR: I saw a doppelganger of our eldest brother. HAHAHAHA. Serious. Kind of freak me out.

FIVE: I'm running out of videos to watch.

SIX: I'm SOOO TIRED. We ran all over town today. And my bag was freaking heavy! Still, it was fun getting lost and going all adventurous. Hahaha.

SEVEN: OH YES! I wanted to buy Mr Bean icecream so badly just now. But then you weren't there, my icecream buddy.

EIGHT: Come back already. Screw NS. I need somebody to listen to me talk crap.

Love,
Sakinah (:

That's what keeps us apart.

2010-06-07T00:01:00.002+08:00

Yes, my laptop's at it again. The crazy battery life.
And yes! I've been having the same wallpaper for like, a month straight? Here reminding you that this someone who owns this blog usually have her wallpaper changed every two weeks or so. So yeah. Hahaha. Whaaaat.

Damn, I love Bruno Mars.

And I'm in love with Travie's songs! The words mean so much. Not like it's referring to my short life. But still. Go listen already.

You know what. I'm totally posting it here. HAHA. Sorry.

Need You by Travie McCoy

I know its not your fault, but I’m a locked door
Anytime I’m a mess by someone before
And I wish that I, I could find a key
To unlock all the things that you want us to be
Let me open up and start again,
But there’s a safe around my heart
I don’t know how to let you in,
And that’s what keeps us apart

And that’s why I need time.
I said I need you,
I need you to understand, you, you, you
I need you to understand, you, you, you

Call up the locksmith,
Tell him we need him quick
We’ve got a million keys,
None of them seem to fit
While your on the phone,
Call up the clocksmith,
Cuz I could use some time,
Even the slightest bit

Let me open up and start again,
And break this safe around my heart
I don’t know how to let you in,
And that’s what keeps us apart

And that’s why I need time
I said I need you
I need you to understand, you, you, you
I need you to understand, you, you, you

I’m thinking now’s the time,
Maybe its time to go, if I gave you my heart, be gentle,
I’m tired of laying low, lets give the world a show
And when you know, you know,
And when you know, you know, you know
And when you know, you know, you know, you know
And that’s why I need time

I said I need you,
I need you to understand, you, you, you (x2)
I need you to understand (x4)
I need you (x3)
I need you, you, you
(Lyrics courtesy of directlyrics.com)

Ok bye. Now.

Love,
Sakinah (:

Lucky, lucky.

2010-06-03T20:14:00.018+08:00

I really don't wish to sound stalkerish. But after much thought and consideration, 'Somewhere in Brooklyn', IS meant for his current girlfriend. (To those lost beings, yes, I am talking about Bruno Mars again, if you've been paying enough attention to my posts)

Red nike high tops, listening to hiphop. Enough to be describing her. If you're one of his avid fans, you would know. She is so damn lucky. So many of his songs are meant for her. That, I am pretty sure. Of course he would never mention it in interviews. Wow. Ok enough of stuff that makes me sound like a freaky idiot. I just need to let it out. Sorry.

Anywaaaay. I just got back from an exploring trip around town with Katini and Poy. Mas left earlier after lunch of zazzles. Yeaaah. Good times. But definitely physically drained out. Haha.

Let's share yet another few great songs before I rant further.

Create a playlist at MixPod.com

Recce locations soon, okay people!

AAAAH. I've got so much to do, so little time, and no mood for work, at all. I need to start designing some stuff for my portfolio. And complete pre-production before school reopens. And reorganise my school files. My laptop's getting messier each day.

I want daisies for my room. Yes please.

It's a smeeze!

2010-05-31T23:24:00.002+08:00

This is too hilarious. There's Bruno's girlfriend right there, on the couch! (If I'm not wrong)

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA OMG. Gotta love these people.
Oh anyway. I'm really tired. Off to sleep a little earlier then.
Goodnight folks.

Love,
Sakinah (:

Welcome to my Wonderland.

2010-05-28T15:58:00.001+08:00

THIS IS A MUST WATCH. HAHA.

There was an earlier original version on the longer episode of Hollyscoop (is it?), if I'm not wrong. There was a part before he broke into the Nothin' On You thing, which by the way, was hilarious. I LOVEEEEE THESE TWO DUDES.

Bruno finally took that fedora off! Revealing the same hairstyle he had since he's four.

Hahaha! Still looking amazingly gorgeous. My oh my. He does have pretty hair afterall!

Love,
Sakinah (:

You never see it coming. You just get to see it go.

She's right here.

2010-05-27T23:56:00.002+08:00

I SURVIVED 7 WEEKS OF SCHOOL! (:
Okay, 6 weeks and 1 day? Don't know. Don't care! The important thing is, it's the holidays already! Only 2 weeks though. Pretty sad.

I can bet it won't even feel like holidays with all the work we people have. Oh what a life.

By the way, my brother and I just bought 5 different kinds of icecream each to satisfy our cravings for the heavenly dessert. Yes. It's that bad of a craving for us. But anyway. My cheeks feels like contracting after that frozen passionfruit drink. Seriously, is it that sour?

AND OH YES! American Idol finally comes to an end and Lee Dewyze won. I've got to admit, this season's a bore. Last season was like super awesome. Still remember coming to school an hour early to watch the live stream of the finals with Atiqah and Hani. It was hilarious, us squeaking when we saw the results and Kris Allen won! WOOHOOO! The live stream got stuck in the middle of the results and we only found out when Mas's live stream was then working and she saw the results. Funny, I tell you.

Aha. So that's life. Whaaaaat. I've got good music to share! (And it's not another Bruno Mars! Even though I'd love to put his stuff here again. Haha. Yay.)

"Come what may, come what will.
Come whatever, I'll be right here still."

I just had to. Haha. Sooooooooo till next time, BYEE!

Love,
Sakinah (:

She dances in the mirror.

2010-05-22T23:22:00.004+08:00

Had a mini surprise for Katini today. Went pretty well, even though we almost screwed up because we had to lie. A lot. Hahaha.

Anyway. Billionaire's number 18th on the Billboard! YAY! (:
Keep requesting Bruno's songs on radio please. And buy his EP and his upcoming album. SUPPORT HIM! He's too awesome. Which reminds me, he's in San Francisco for a concert with T-Pain and the Brown Eyed Girls (a Korean band). OMGGGG. I wish I'm there now. The concert's starting later. It's night of the 22nd here, but over there's most probably still in the early morning right now. So for them people there, the concert's starting in say, 12 hours? Whatever. I just want to be there! ): Oh man. THAT is the reason why I need a carbon copy.

I really cannot wait for his album. SOOOOOON! Loving his EP and all his other random yet fantastic songs.
Oh love, love, love (:

I don't want tomorrow to come. Badly. I've got too much work to do.

Love,
Sakinah (:

Someone's a year older. Not me!

2010-05-21T20:50:00.003+08:00

Yes, you are! So embrace it!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY KATINI! (:

So hard to believe that we've known each other the entire poly life. Eversince orientation. Like, that's crazy! And 3 semesters surviving classes together. And always ending up, the both of us, together having to force ourselves into making decisions because that's where we're weak at. It's been extremely insane for us. God knows. Ok, now I sound like we're in a relationship. We are, but in a super good friendship. Thank you for tolerating with my crap all these while and for being such a sincere and loving friend. It's been a pleasure knowing someone like you and I deeply appreciate it.

So Tini, may you succeed in all your endeavours and have awesome people by your side, always.

Love,
Sakinah (:

We'll be alright.

2010-05-19T23:28:00.001+08:00

We were retrorrific today!

Of course, not many people actually dress up for the themed class today. But one team really went so well, I think they're pretty amazing. Retro is about going wild anyway.

Our group on the other hand had a great, great time today too! Unfortunately without Poy who is down with fever ): Get well soon!

We came up with album covers!

Yeah. We're awesome like that.

It was an overall a great day. Enjoyed it, yes. Wish Poy was there though!

This one's produced by the Smeezingtons! YAY! (: Really nice one. Loveeee it!

Love,
Sakinah (:

Mad world.

2010-05-18T21:43:00.003+08:00

Hello people (:
Here's a really fun song for you!

Quite some time ago, I believe. And yes, it's Bruno's record too! Hahaha. He picked it as one of his favourites. And it is fun, you've got to admit it.

I'm so proud of him. Each day, more and more people are beginning to notice him and his awesome works. More people loving him. Yay (: Never change, Bruno. Never change.

Love,
Sakinah (:

You don't even try to be part of my life.

Random cake analysis!

Greetings, loved ones! (:

Yes, I am online right now to finish up my RJ. Haha. Luke's being real nice, as always, opening the submission time all the way till 8am this morning. So here I am.

Anyway. Yesterday I was searching for some rainbow candies for my design work and look what I found.

Aww! A rainbow cake! I want one! It's so, so, so, cute, don't you think? I really love that they use pastel colours. So cute. And I went on a random search for beautiful cakes.

SO PRETTY!

And this one too! Nice.

Yes, this is a cake!

Pastel colours are really adorable!

You have to look at it real closely. Creative people, I like.

I really wonder how the baker did this. Not just for this one, all the others too!

Topsy-turvy.

Aww.
Seriously, these cakes are just some of the really nice designs. There's like truckloads of really awesome cakes.

I'm going back to sleep. Haha. Bye.

Love,
Sakinah (:

But they don't understand.

Damn, you're talented.

I MUST POST THIS UP OKAY!!

Untitled

Bruno Mars | MySpace Music Videos

Just, what can't he do? He definitely can write and produce songs, sings, beatbox, plays the guitar, piano, drums. Come on, what else! I love the Smeezingtons! (:

Ok. So let's talk about today! Had photography. As always, Wednesdays. Played around with silhouettes today. Next week, we're going retro! Yes, we have to dress up retro and do photoshoots again I guess. Haha.

Love,
Sakinah (:

I'll be there.

Someone's talking back.

Katy Perry is not forgotten!

Yay! (:
Her album's coming out too!
(Psst. Bruno's EP already out.)

I can't help it, can I?

This is not the full song though. I can't wait to hear the complete version. It's really a beautiful piece!

Read up his reviews and interview!

Some goodbyes.

Number 28th and 2nd (:
Pull him back to first!

Anyway. IICD news! Amanda's going home!! She had some problems so she's leaving the Dream House ): Which means, a possibility of a new house member? Oh man.

And bad news. Gossip Girl's going to end with a tragedy! This one word and you'll know. Jenny. Why, Jenny, why?! Good thing she'll disappear from next season's GG.

Urgh. Watching the finale clip makes me so mad.
Ok! Oh by the way.

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY TO ALL MOTHERS OF THE WORLD! (:
You people are the reason why the world feels so lovely. Aww.

Going out for dinner! Bye people!

Love,

So freaking bad.

Oh Bruno ♥

And then I found you.

I need a carbon copy. Of me.

2010-05-06T21:12:00.004+08:00

Omg. His voice. *dies*

Really, at times, superpowers are just awesome. Imagine if I could duplicate myself. One will be going through this boring routine of life here (I still need my diploma!). Another would be flying to San Francisco and meeting Bruno! Woohoo. But maybe like the another self over there wouldn't really look like me here. It's like another person but same souls. It would be amazing. Aaaaah how.

Oh anyway. HAPPY BIRTHDAY BROTHER!

Turning the big TWENTY this very day and I hope you've enjoyed it so far! Keep that survival kit well! Haha! I seriously have run out of ideas when it comes to gifts for guys. Seriously. Talk about the ladies and we have chocolates, jewellry, accesories, dresses, tops, bags, shoes, stuffed animals, cards, and simply, pretty things. It's just so hard for guys. Oh well.

Wokayy! I've got to go do quite a lot of stuff so, byeeeee!

Love,
Sakinah (:

It's better if you don't understand.

HELLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! (:

It's the mid of the week which means its photography for us today. It was quite a good lesson, I guess. Faci was being nice to us, and our group was a little too high today. Just some pictures since I'm in kind-of-a-great mood today.

And our magazine cover..

Tadaa! I like (:

Ok, I really can't help myself. So I'll dedicate a part of my post again, to my major addiction. You should know. *grins*

SUPER QUICK FACTS!

Yes, this is Bruno at the age of 4, in the year 1990. He was the Little Elvis impersonator in Wakiki! How cute! Go see the video of him from the 7:25th mark onwards - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eoo3BQXkVPE. It's a MUST watch!!

And....... This was during his teenage years when he impersonated Michael Jackson! The hair, dude, THE HAIRRRR! Wooohoo.

Bruno's precious people. From the image's left, his elder sister, gorgeous mom, him (!!), sister and brother Eric. You can see the beauty runs in the blood. Yeaaaaah. He's got another 2 siblings.

His EP comes out May 11th! GO GET IT!

Overboard.

2010-05-04T16:37:00.006+08:00

Pissing in someone's shampoo bottle is too disgusting and VERY disrespectful. I didn't know of that happening in the Dream House till just a few minutes ago. I have officially unliked and unfollowed Alex Lambert.

He was trying to prank Giglianne, but unfortunately, Kara got pranked instead. She poured the shampoo on her hands, and when realised that it was piss, she freaked out. I mean, who the hell prank people like that. Kara handled the matter like a grown up. And Alex didn't.

They had a mini meeting about the incident and Kara was telling him that it wasn't really nice doing such things. She even said that she loved him several times, in an attempt to cool things down. Of course, brotherly love since all of them live together. She was being so matured about it and forgave him so quickly. But Alex had to retort and said in order to respect the others in the house, they all have to respect him and by what he did, they all would know who he is and start respecting.
WHAT THE HELL.

It was crap. I watched back the footages online and got so annoyed by his attitude. Firstly, he's the youngest. Secondly, he's the latest to join the house. And thirdly, piss? Seriously?! Having someone holding on to your piss is freaking disgusting and not to mention very disrespectful. So what if he wants to be an artist? Doesn't mean he have to act that way! And Kara was being so forgiving and amazing that she managed to settle it without having to shout. Amanda obviously got really annoyed.

He expects to be an artist with this kind of behaviour. I'm not a fan, at all. I really feel sorry for Kara for having to face this kind of crap even though she's been the most patient one in the house. I respect her more for the way she handled things.

I'm sorry. I just have to bring it here because I'm so frustrated seeing the real Alex. Not to mention, disappointed. Urgh.

Ok. Moving on to happier times. BRUNO MARS (: I just have to. Sorry, just bear with me. The video's going to be out soon! WOOHOOO!

Love,
Sakinah (:

Never change, please!

2010-05-02T21:58:00.001+08:00

I'm really sorry for the Bruno Mars spamming these days. Things just happen. Ok, I just have to post this one up. They were webcamming on ichat. Bruno and the rest are in the studio recording Natasha's Bedingfield's song (Again). Yes, that song I posted before! Early last year, if I'm not wrong?

This was quite some time ago. But it just cracks me up so much seeing how silly Bruno is. Hahaha. Never fail to make me laugh everytime. "Ray, can you hear me, Ray, Ray!" Hahahaha. And listen carefully what he said in the last part. Cute.

Somehow I'm really afraid that he might not be the same old Bruno Mars once he gets popular. Once people start realising all the great music he makes and how amazing he really is. It's going to be great for him, but I really do hope he'll be the same humble and silly guy that all of us fell in love with.

Sigh.

Love,
Sakinah (:

Along, came you.

Bruno Mars-ing.

So yes. FYP's been cracking our brains. We're not even talking about the real project yet. Only the ideas still.

Hahahahah. POY! And yes, our newly launched funding for the upcoming major projects. Oh man. I'm terribly afraid of not being able to do well. Really. But I will, and I must do well. So go go production team! (:

This semester has been crazy, I tell you. And I've been eating even more. Not good. At all. Ok so! Whatever it is, I've got a year left and I've got to do all that I can to get out of school. Quick!

How do you heal a heart that can't feel?

The epic tale of Sakinah's sandals.

2010-04-23T21:13:00.001+08:00

Those facial hairs have got to go!

Nevertheless, love him! Oh anyway. Had CME today. Yeah. Civics and moral education. I miss that! Haha. Ok. Seriously no. Lesson was kinda tough but Luke sound so energetic that it wasn't that boring to the extend that we could foam in the mouth or bleed in the ears. So yeah. That's my update on life. Haha. Oh yes!

I just came back. And Woodlands was raining dragons and monsters. Thunder roared real bad. So Hani, Ijah, Atiqah and me stayed awhile in school as it was too impossible to be going home in that condition. But Tini and Mas did manage to, anyway. Ya. Ok. We ate at TRCC and have I mentioned before that their spaghetti is so way better now? They used to be too watery and overflowed with the sauce but now it's good!

Anyway. Took our time until it was about 6 that we realised the weather was better already. So off we go. It was still drizzling though but we can't afford to wait any longer. As we were walking to Interchange, my right sandal was slowly detaching itself. And eventually, yes, it broke into layers. Sad. We had some creative thinking at the bus stop and so we made use of Atiqah's hair band to tie up my broken sandals.

It didn't work. At all. Then. Just when I thought all hope was lost and I had to walk barefooted, a pair of sandals lay by the pillar. We went ahead a few steps when Ijah suddenly said that maybe I could take the unbroken side. SMART GIRL! And luckily for me, the right side of the sandal was perfect still, only the left one was in bad condition. So yes. There I was, in the middle of the pathway putting on the newfound shoes. Who cares if my shoes were a mismatch. Haha.

But I did survived all the way to the bustling land of Woodlands Interchange. And bought a pair of basic slippers. I did it. Yay. Thanks to my friends for the support. Hahaha. Oh yes. WEEKENDS ARE HEREEEEEEEE!!

Love,
Sakinah (:

Remember me posting the song Airplanes? Now, here's the second part with Eminem in it.

Nice. Quick listen before it gets removed!

Okay, let's pretend like this never happened.

School.

2010-04-21T22:11:00.002+08:00

So yesterday we had Sequential and Motion Design. We did on sequential art and we created a comic strip! It was a really fun module as compared to the rest which totally kills the brain cells. And despite me not really being a big fan of comic strips, I did enjoy the lesson. We did a really cute comic stip which is not too comicy (ok, you know what I mean). Credits to Poy for the ultimately cute hamsters and Katini for the amazing drawings. And the lesson wasn't too draggy either unlike some module that is supposed to be "enterprising".

And as for today.. Photography! Guess what?! Niki is in the same class as me for today! Yes, he took it as elective also and it was definitely nice seeing him again (: We snapped loads and loads of photos (obviously from the module name) and had quite a lot of fun although we were grilled under the scorching sun.

So far only these two modules are fun. I miss year two ):

Love,
Sakinah (:

Say Jabbawockeez! (:

I know I recently have posted this very same song here before, BUT I just got to post the acoustic version. To prove Bruno's awesome live, or recorded. His voice just melts hearts, doesn't it? Wooh ♥

And this, is like WOOOOHOOOOHOO OH YEAAAH. Jabbawockeez!!! ♥

THIS IS A MUST WATCHHHHHH!!!!! :DD

Damn! Anyway, it's school again tomorrow. Urgh. Come and go quick you, 2010!

Love,
Sakinah (:

I think I have completely lost interest.

And she waits.

2010-04-18T14:42:00.004+08:00

Something I came out with, out of random. I repeat, random.

And I wait.
As his smile begins to fade.
When the magic dissapears,
and everything else becomes my wildest fear.

And I wait.
As he left the table.
Me, all alone feeling troubled.
What wrong have I done this time?
I did try my best to make everything rhyme.

And I wait.
As he walked away
With no signs of dismay
Nobody regrets
Neither am I feeling sad

And as I wait again.
I watch it all end.
I know this will never work.
No matter how long I lurk.
I guess it's over now,
for I will never know how.

I'm sorry, love.

- Sakinah

Morning!

2010-04-17T07:23:00.002+08:00

I love this dude.

Why, has his voice got to be similar to Frankie J? It's too good!

Oh yes! School has indeed started but its finally the weekends now! Well, my class was ok. But my modules are not! They're much, much, much more harder than before :'( I will try my best though. I have to! Oh man. Ok got to go do RJ! Haha!

Love,
Sakinah (:

But it was just a dream.

2010-04-14T23:54:00.001+08:00

I could really use a wish right now.

Love,

To picture my life, boy, you need a higher resolution.

Holidays out, school's in!

2010-04-12T23:29:00.004+08:00

Bad news first: School begins again this Thursday. Classes are out and guess what. SCHOOL STARTS AT 8AM FOR 3 DAYS OF THE WEEK. There goes my sleep. And freedom of leisurely boarding the bus and choosing my very own seat at my very own pace. The whole world is leaving their abodes at 7am. So, good luck to me.

Now, the good news: I did get photography as my elective. Plus, my class on Friday starts at 12pm. Wooots! ;) I got Juraimi for Design Studio, and that's great cause he seldom marks people late. Ooooh yeaaah. AND AND AND. I got these three awesome people as my classmates for everyday.

Poy, Katini and Mas! Again! Hahahahahahha! I am really thankful I get a chance to be with them again. Cause I'm so nervous for the next semester! Plus, I've always enjoyed their company all along. Yay (:

And I really do hope the classes have been finalized and that no changes will be made cause I'm pretty much satisfied with the current decision. I really am, though, still holding to the thinnest thread of hope that the timings will be changed to a later timing. (familiar phrase, Nurul Iiman? Hehe) 10am instead, maybe? Oh pleeaaaaassee *flutters unattractive eyelashes*

Ok now. Entertainment time! Tina Fey is hilarious. Watch.

Hahahaha. How cute.

I am dead tired. And damn happy.

- Woke up pretty early to meet Dawn (yay!) at Tiong Bahru.
- And guess who was early? Me! Oh yeah, as per normal.
- Walkabout Tiong Bahru plaza as Dawn struggled to find her way out of the house in the ultimately rainy weather condition.

Yes! Totally reminds me of Afiq. Haha.

-Dawn gave me a souvenir from Mumbai and it's toooooo cuteeee!!

- Bought breakfast and took a a cab to Dawn's workplace together with her colleague, Maria who I knew from BG. So yeah, that was good!
- Get to know new people, and got myself a one-day job which was kind of easy and fun. Grrreat.
- Maria is a really nice person, serious.
- After work, headed straight to Marymount.

- CREEEEEEPY PLACE I AM NOT KIDDING.
- Had a good catchup with Nabilah and get to know a few new people, again.
- Screwed up the interview, but I enjoyed it. Haha.
- Made our way to Bishan in search of DINNER. Really. Starving.
- Went roaming around Bishan to find good Halal food and non-fastfood. I'm sorry Dawn!
- Finally had dinner + supper = dupper?
- Ice cream milk tea for me and dark chocolate something something for Dawn.

- Laughing gas sets in. Non-stop laughing and lost minds as we tried finding our way back home.
- Said our goodbyes as we reach Raffles Place ):

I HAD A GREAT, GREAT TIME! So thank you, Dawn Lim Xiuping for making my whole day. I love you.

♥ Sakinah (:

What happened?!

2010-04-09T15:10:00.003+08:00

NOOOOOO!! ):

Yes, they did. I was really hoping the rumours about Ed and Jessica were true, but this was, instead. Oh man. I'm sorry, dude. I just don't like the idea of Ed and Jessica together. I'm sorry for being that mean but I just can't help it. But Leighton and Sebastian, NOOOOOO! They were super duper cute together. Come on! How come Leighton doesn't want serious relationships? And with someone like Sebastian? Such a waste. Urgh how did this happen.

Anyway. HAPPY BIRTHDAY LEIGHTON MEESTER!
And if those Ed and Jess rumours turns out true, possibly a real Chuck & Blair will do? ;)

Loves,
Sakinah (:

If I can dream...

2010-04-08T00:23:00.004+08:00

So yes. I've been following IICD rather closely because that's pretty much what I can do these days. Nobody's free to go out with me and I am penniless. Come on, when am I not?

The thing is, I have kind of lost interest in following Alex's life there. Serious. Instead, I fell in love with all the other members of the house. Especially Kara, Justin and Ben. They are awesome! Kara wakes up the earliest almost every morning and she does all the house cleaning. And I love her vlogs! Never fail to make me laugh every single time. And so does Justin's and Ben's. Haha.

Ok, so I do admit. Alex life is kind of boring. Must have been due to the fact that he is the latest to join the house and thus is lagging behind. All the others have bonded so well that they are already treating each other like family. Them, together already for almost two months plus him, joining the gang only recently, I think it's better for him to just stay in AI. Seriously. At times, I pity him because he's a little alienated there. What's worse, he is the youngest. Oh man. I really do feel sorry for him. He should have joined earlier when all the others just met! But oh well. The original gang rocks.

From left: Kara (actress), Justin (singer-songwriter), Amanda (actress, model), Giglianne (model), Ben (actor)

You might wonder, Giglianne is pronounced as Jeeg-Lee-Ya-Nei. Aha. And I really do think Ben looks so much like Robert Pattinson + Ed Westwick (the both of them already look so much alike only that Ed's way more charming, of course).

Oh yay! (: And you might have remembered Justin as Miley's ex-boyfriend. Yes, that gorgeous guy.

I wish them all success in achieving their dreams! And still not forgotten, Alex Lambert, too. You're really nice and cool, dude. Work hard!

Loves,
Sakinah (:

Saturday with Dawn. Finally, love!

Adorable.

OMG.
Without me realising it, almost two months have passed since school holidays started. Which just means one thing. SCHOOL IS STARTING AGAIN. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!! :'(

I haven't had enough of holidays. I want moreee! And the saddest thing is, my final year is almost here to haunt me. I have 3 more CE points to complete, a GPA of 3.5 (or more)to achieve, FYP to do, and I almost forgot! PORTFOLIO. Shit. Once all of the mentioned are done, I am so over poly life. Damn. I want all of these to quickly pass so I don't have to endure with RJs and long journeys any longer. But at the same time, I don't quite want it to end that fast. because friendships here are just too precious. And I am going to miss so much stuff.

I hate the part when you finally are able to get out of school but all the people you spend your school life with, disappears after achieving what they want and started pursuing their own chosen path. Someone you know becomes someone you knew.

Oh pardon me for being sentimental. Haha. Ok, enough of school. Till the next post!

Loves,
Sakinah (:

He's back! Woohoo!

2010-04-02T18:12:00.001+08:00

I LOVE ALEX LAMBERT. YAY.
And he's on 'If I Can Dream' for now. Thanks to the petition that begged him to be brought back to idol and the gazillion of supportive fans he has.

As I'm blogging right now, I'm watching him. Yes, watching him. Beware, I am a stalker. Haha. Okay. So you can stalk him too. Go! http://ificandream.com/#/house/alexsroom/

It's 3.13am there and he's still not asleep. He's strumming the guitar right now.

Ok, before you get really creeped out by me, I shall explain. If you never heard of 'If I Can Dream', it's a reality show where there will be cameras all around this house where people who aspire to be models, or designer, or singers, actresses, will be living in together. The show portrays the progress of these people as they achieve their dream. Cool? Not quite, it is creepy I tell you. Even he said it himself when he was checking the show online and saw himself.

And.. Look at him now!

Yes, the mullet is gone! And he looks amazing (:

Go sleep already Alex! But oh my God. He's singing right now for his fans in England! Oh how cute.

Loves,
Sakinah (:

Some things are best unspoken.

Things just happen when you're bored.
I had my shot at truckloads of unpleasant images. And by that, I just mean a series of ugly faces. Oh well. I like one in particular; partly due to the fact that it looks not too extremely ugly or unbearable to be seen.

Haha. And conclusion is, doing random things can be pleasurable. So is music!

Told a lot of white lies to hide it all.

Time to keep up with, time!

2010-03-29T22:43:00.005+08:00

Time for an update! Yes? No? YESSSSSS!! (:
So I've been wanting to post up pictures from so much events. Yeah. KL, date with Nurul and most recently, E24E outing! We finally did it! We finally manage to meet up and have loads of fun!! Woohooo! :D

But you know, I've been too lazy to upload.
So here goes some of it.

Oh yes, before that. Enjoy some music while you're at it.

First and foremost, my mini getaway with aunt and her family! Yeahooooo! So it was supposed to be my male cousin who goes together with them for their very own family vacation. However, due to his tight work schedule, he wasn't able to take some days off and I replaced him instead!

And so, off to KL we went!

We got a great hotel for two nights and not to mention, kind of a shopping heaven! Except that the prices there are either similar to Singapore's or more. And I was expecting more non-familiar stores so I could get non-Singaporean stuff. But yeah. I wanted so badly to go to the night market to get wicked accesories, sadly we didn't manage to. Aha I'll get my hands on you on my next trip. (Hopefully, soon!)

Great food, guaranteed to have been the cause of my increasing amount of cholestrol in my system. And and, we went swimming! And the water and non-water theme park! YOOOOHOOOOOYEAAAAAH!! And believe it or not, I RODE THE ROLLERCOASTER! SAY WHAAAAAAAAAAT! Hell yeah, I'm braver now but not brave enough for the viking ship, still. I, had a blast.

Aha yes. Dilah is officially the queen of camwhoring.
Check out her camera. I can bet with you 70% of the pictures are hers.

I definitely enjoyed the trip and would love to travel again soon! But for now, I would love to thank these awesome people, my wonderful aunt, uncle, and cousins for the amazing opportunity to tag along. Thank you for the finger licking good food and splendid company all along the trip. I cannot thank you enough for making me a part of your family for 3 days. Thank you, thank you, THANK YOUUU! Love you all lah!

Ok now, the 23rd of March whereby me and Nurul went for a date! It was totally random, really. But randomness always makes the world a better place. (-.-")

So we decided upon Pasir Ris Park for a romantic time together. We packed burgers, fries, coke, and donuts and made our twisted and overturned way to PRP. Seriously, we got lost a few times in search of a beach until we found out there isn't any beach there. Oh my God. But yes, we did find a nice place to sit and had a mini picnic by the sea.

It was so good to have a long heart to heart talk with your girlfriend, you know. Your best girlfriend. And enjoy a great view at the same time. Afterwhich, we decided to play kite! But after Nurul bought a kite, then we realised there was no wind. Yes. No wind. At all. But we never gave up. We ran, jump and threw the kite in an attempt to fly it. But as the saying goes, when there's no wind, you can't fly a kite. Wait. That's not even a saying. It's a fact, dude.

So we ended up writing notes for each other. I know, we're such sweethearts (:

I love Nurul. No matter what we do, it will still end up being fun, and indeed very sweet memories for my short life. Thank you babe. For just being you.

AAAAAND FINALLY! Saturday, 27th of March.
E24E outing, at last (:

It wasn't really the whole class though due to the fact that some of us are in Brisbane for a study trip and a few others are on a vacation.So we had eight people on this one. Haha. Still, yay (:

We went East Coast for cycling! And as predicted, I fell. Hahahaha. I can never do cycling without falling. Really. But I had a great time, knowing they actually cared for me! Aww! When I fell, like four of them waited behind for me and helped me. So sweet. But I'm really ok. Just a teeny tiny blueblack on my knee. Damn you fly for flying into my spectacles. For fish's sake, I can't balance a bicycle with one hand.

But anyway. After that we got ourselves icecream and sat by the beach. It was a pity that we got on the beach only after the sun sets so we didn't get the chance to sit romantically, just the eight of us, and watch the sun setting together. Haha.

Jamal, "Eh eh! Kampong banjir lah! Kampong banjir!"
Epic moment, haha. You won't get it unless you hear it for yourself. So stop stressing those brows trying to get the joke.

Instead of calling the police for help, try calling us for a change.

So there we have it, our class outing. Year 2 semester 2. My fourth class in RP, by right the most unpredictable people I've ever met. Thank you guys for putting up with my clearly weird personality and all the crap I do. You know I love you guys, right? ;)

Aaaaaand that wraps it all up! The events for the past few times I've been missing. Looking forward to meet up the E24B clique! Come on guys, make yourselves free someday! I seriously miss you all!!

Loves,
Sakinah (:

Letters to Juliet.

2010-03-21T22:59:00.004+08:00

This one looks great! (:
Catch it, or not to catch it?

"When a young American (Amanda Seyfried) travels to the city of Verona, home of the star-crossed lover Juliet Capulet of Romeo and Juliet fame, she joins a group of volunteers who respond to letters to Juliet seeking advice about love. After answering one letter dated 1951, she inspires its author (Vanessa Redgrave) to travel to Italy in search of her long-lost love and sets off a chain of events that will bring a love into both their lives unlike anything they ever imagined."

It is a film based on a novel and I would very much love to know by whom it is written by. Anybody?

Mini getaway's over!

2010-03-21T00:04:00.008+08:00

HELLO! I'm back, I'm back~
Since Friday afternoon, actually. But have been too tired to blog. Haha.

So yeah. I had a great time with my aunt, uncle and two beautiful cousins. Thank you guys so much for allowing me to tag along. I had so much fun, so much food and so much sun that my skin on my nose is peeling off. Sad to say, sunburnt! Haha. But it's ok! Doesn't hurt, really.

Update again once I grab hold of the truckload of photos! Enjoy the music, yeah.

I'm worried.

Hello wello KL.

2010-03-16T21:26:00.006+08:00

As of 10.10am tomorrow morning, I'll be off the grounds of Singapore. Goodbye, love! ):

Be back on the 19th!

Loves,
Sakinah (:

Oh yeah.

Why~

2010-03-15T22:33:00.007+08:00

Alex's gonna be on Ellen's show this Wednesday (I think)!!!! Sadly, I might not be able to watch it. But I'll check it out once it's posted online! Yay! (:

Anyway. I am kind of feeling left out by the fact that everyone around me at least has some experience in the art industry, through internships and stuff, while I have none. Worried too, that I might look like someone who is not qualified to be doing arts. Sigh.

Oh yes! UT3 results are out! And I am so nervous to check out my grades and GPA. In times of need like this, MY LEO IS NOT WORKING. WHY, WHY TELL ME WHY. Urgh.

Till next time. Haha. Bye!

You are not even close. So just, stop.

To marry or not to marry.

2010-03-13T23:29:00.009+08:00

Soon, the whole world will be turning its back against marriage, leaving me stuck between the two options, not knowing which one will be best for me. Well now, why wouldn't I or anybody for that matter wouldn't want to get married?

1. Everybody, I mean it, EVERYBODY makes marriage sounds so heavy, and complicated. All these talks about responsibility, not being able to carry out duties as a wife/husband. I get it. It's hard.

2. Maybe, not meeting anyone who is likely to want to be with you forever. To be truthful, I have a really pathetic love life. Oh come on, do I even have one?

3. And of course, money matters. Even in the name of love. You do have to pay a heavy price, afterall, for it. Tell me which of this is free: (a) Getting married (b) Having kids (c) Supporting family (d) Maintaining a happy and healthy family

And these could possibly be the reasons why I would want to get married.

1. Being loved sounds awesome.

2. I get to design my wedding ceremony! :D

3. I would really like to see what my kids would look like. Plus, I get to pick pretty names for them! And dress them up in cute clothings. Aww.

Aha. Not getting married also means that I would have to conduct a nationwide search for anybody who want to willingly take care of me when I am all wrinkled and every single evidence of my youth have perished. But seriously, even if I do have a husband and kids, will they still want me when I am no longer useful in the house?

Some may think I think a little too far. But I truly believe time flies faster than Superman. The next minute, I could be already 27.

And yes! Talking about time, I just completed reading The Gift. It was so good, brought me to tears. Serious! It really brought the term "Time is precious" to a much more deeper meaning. Go read it then you'll know. Cecilia never fails to sprinkle touches of magic into her stories, yet having a serious meaning which relates very much to us, human beings.

I want more of her books to be adapted to films please! If I could, I would very much want to help make it a film adaptation. Haha.

Loves,
Sakinah (:

This isn't happening.

2010-03-13T00:22:00.003+08:00

Oh Alex.
Why you have to go? Seriously! You're so damn good and it's hard finding voices like yours and not to mention your ultimately cute face. So innocent, so sad.
America, I'm so disappointed in your choice. Aaron Kelly, seriously? You've got to be kidding me. And who's that girl I see going through? Oh yes, Katie Stevens. What is wrong with you people.

Let's hope some dude just decides to withdraw from the competition, making way for Alex.

7:14 My heart just broke :'(

Bring him back, please.

Sakinah ):

You know you love me, xoxo.

WOHOOOO! :D Gossip Girl's back! In fact, the latest episode was aired on 8th March. And and and, THERE'S A SEASON FOUR! I guess, there might be a happy ending afterall in the final season. Oh yeah.

Anyway! I think I'm going to miss AI next week ): Oh man. Just hope Alex, Siobhan and Didi will do great. Love them! Aha. I just found out school's going to start again on 15th April, which is on a Thursday. I find it real weird. I mean, not like its uncommon for RP to be starting, ending school term and having holidays at very different and at weird dates and times, unlike other schools. Haha. I guess it doesn't hurt to be different.

Ok! Off to bed now. Goodnight!

You made it look so perfect, when it wasn't meant to be.

Oh love.

Future, future, stay away from me.

2010-03-07T23:51:00.005+08:00

Omg. I seriously need to stop doing such ugly faces when somebody holds up a camera infront of me. Looking back at Friday's pictures, seriously Sakinah, buruk. Haha.

Ok! So today went for Screenbox's seminar and Sujimy made really good points about producing works which is based solely on local context. It is ultimately true that we have to produce works which will sell internationally, thus being universal. Ok, I sound so serious. But I really do think that I want to start a film production and write more stories. The thing I am most uncertain is exactly who are in it with me. I am damn serious about this business. I don't know why either. But the thing which always worries me is that I might be alone in wanting to do this.

I finally crafted out my future plans. I might pursue a stable career first and manage funding before starting on a production. I might. I don't know man. I get really worried thinking about being the only one having such ideas.

Oh well. I still have a year to think. Hopefully.

Loves,
Sakinah (:

I wish you the best, I guess.

This girl is mine.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY
NURUL IIMAN ZHULKEFLEE!

Age is just a number, really? I really do hope so too. But for you, yes! Nine year old girl stuck in a 19 years old body, eh? Still looking great though! Weehee! (: Have fun, as much as you can, babe. As long as its harmless fun, true? TRUEEE! Okay, okay. Just go celebrate already! And babe, you know I love you truly, deeply, madly.

Loves,
Sakinah (:

Bring me to Wonderland.

2010-03-05T22:10:00.002+08:00

Seoul Garden + Alice In Wonderland + Playground = LOVE (:

Yay yay. I had an awesome time with Nurul today. We had a pre-birthday celebration for her birthday which falls tomorrow. And trust me, it's more like celebrating a nine year old's birthday. Hahahaha. We enjoyed eating so much and yes, after so long, SEOUL GARDEN! Woooohooohooooooo! :D And and, swings and see-saws and mini-super-dizzy-merry-go-round! Oh man. Seriously, it was damn fun.

The original Alice In Wonderland film dated back in 1903. Wow.

Yesterday was supposed to be my day out with the E24E gang to watch Alice In Wonderland. But coincidentally, aunt's bringing me, brother, and my other two cousins out. So we spent the day at Changi Airport, doing what I've always been doing these holidays, eating. I'm going to turn overweight soon. Infact, I think I already am.

Oh yes! To Katini, Jamal, Poy, and Daniel, sorry guys for not joining in yesterday! Really wanted to, but I just can't ): Hope you guys did enjoy anyways. You guys know I love you guys, right? ;) Haha. East Coast, okay?

And Nurul, we must go fly kite and eat icecream by the beach next time! Haha. I keep going on dates with people. But none of them are guys, really. But it doesn't matter. It never matters to me. I enjoy what I have and what I do now, so yeah (: I love life as it is, and I believe everybody should, too.

Okay! Enjoy this piece. Daa!

Loves,
Sakinah (:

I can see right through you.

Aha.

2010-03-02T15:46:00.005+08:00

Yooohoooo!

Okay, so until now, I still haven't got a job. Yes, boo me all you want. I wanted the internship as a production assistant so badly! Because you know, I'm into designing sets and preparing props all that. Now you know. But I still haven't got a reply and I think they might have taken the earlier applications. Oh man. So here I am, stoning at home yet again.

Oh yes. I've got a story to write and I'm still stuck at the second paragraph. I have done nothing much these holidays, seriously. Somebody, just wake me up please. It's March already and I have another month before the disastrous final year comes.

Thursday, Friday, Sunday and two more weeks. Only looking forward to those days. Sigh.

Loves,
Sakinah (:

Rise and shine, darlings.

The merry month of March is here!

2010-02-22T20:53:00.003+08:00

And so the interview for internship got postponed today ): But it's alright! Just hope I'll be able to get into an internship!

It's kind of hard to find one when you're not that gifted with much talent. Katini and Aung are two lucky souls. Companies from everywhere want them and they are recommended by so many facis because they are good. At everything. You name it, they can do it. Drawing, editting, web designing, special effects, photoshop, just everything. Yes, I envy them a lot.

Many times, I worry, just what can I do in the future. Being good at nothing pretty much sucks. But it's ok, I'll learn.

Aha! I've got a busy week ahead. And infact, I think I'll be quite busy this holiday. First up, FYP story. I have yet to be inspired. It got me searching for the quickest and most painless way to die. And I've got a good one - Watch Barney for 5 hours straight. Haha. I think half an hour is enough to kill us all.

Ok, I'm not depressed and neither am I planning on killing myself. I am living a happy life and I love myself. It's just some research that might help in my story later on. Oh man. Ideas, please come to me soon. In the meantime, enjoy some good music, shall we?

Aww, Ne-Yo ♥

Loves,
Sakinah (:

True love's a gift. But we let it drift.

I'm fat, yes.

2010-02-21T03:16:00.004+08:00

Good morning, world.

Yesterday morning, I finally, after approximately a year, exercise. All thanks to my dearest Kekek for making time for me (: Thank you darling!

But all the efforts of dragging myself to actually, run, went to waste exactly 3 hours later when I sinfully indulge myself with a chocolate and heavy heavy breakfast. And I, infact, gained slightly more weight later on, 8 hours later, stuffing myself to death. Just because I made the wrong order and ended up with more food. Congratulations, Sakinah. What an amazing success.

As a punishment, I shall not attempt to frequently pay a visit to my dear friend, Mr Refrigerator PLUS I shall not eat unnecessarily PLUS I must force myself to the jogging tracks every weekend.

Lets just see what happens.
(Let's make a bet. Within half an hour time, I'll forget that such rules even exist.)

Am I caught in a hit and run?

you, me.

2010-02-18T22:40:00.001+08:00

Hello (:
Today is a belated Valentines celebration for Katini and I. We went dating!
We always seem to end up together and so we went ahead with a really adventurous day. A lot of times, things end up just with me and her so we are always left to fend for ourselves. And today, same thing happened. So we went to and fro, school to Causeway, and back to school again because we are afterall indecisive beings who needs someone to make decisions for us to make wise choices.

We had brunch, walked the unfortunate route between school and Causeway, and yeah, caught a movie and went back to school again. Nothing was planned and everything just happen at the nick of time. I had fun, though. Because I know when school reopens, such times are going to be hard to be achieved again. It's impossible for us to be in the same class yet again.

Oh man. I'll miss Katini. And all those adventurous times we had together, or what we call "takde tujuan". Hope she'll have a great internship the upcoming weeks!

So I met Mas after saying goodbyes to Katini. It was a short meeting but, at least we get to catchup. I missed them both.

Hopefully, we get the internships too, yeah babe!

Now, I feel like having a tub of icecream with Nurul by the beach and just, talk.

Oh God. I just can't wait to do filming again. It was so much fun, and doing it with the ones you love, was really worth the time.

Loves,
Sakinah (:

It was never an option.

Save me.

2010-02-17T04:10:00.003+08:00

Wohooo! Okay, see what holidays always do to me. Sitting by her laptop all day and night. I seriously need a job. List of things to be bought is piling up and they're not even close to being things I want but do not need. Okay, okay. I just, need so much stuff and want infinity. Urgh.

Oh money money, land on me.

Goodbye, E24E ):

Without us all realising it, 16 weeks of school have come and gone, which marks the end of the semester. I'M DONE AND OVER WITH YEAR 2 IN RP BAYBEEEEEH.

Year 3 is going to be a thrilling ride for us all. It's going to kill each and every third year soul with the PPs and PDs and CEs and FYPs. And the normal PBL still. Which oh by the way, we have chosen our FYP teams. Just hope that everything goes well (:

And just like all my previous classes, here' my tribute to E24E.

First and foremost, I would like to thank everyone in E24E for making classes possible with each and everyone of your presence. Without knowing it, within those four walls, we have found each other and went through quite a time together. We created so much masterpieces and random terms and most importantly, friendship. I'll definitely miss all of you and all the shit and not forgetting, the amazing moments we went through together.
_________________________________________________

♥ E24E ♥

Of course, for this semester, our classes were a little messed up because we have different people for almost every class.

First we have the Art of Story class. I always loved AOS classes. It’s where I fell in love with writing. And so I enjoyed every AOS class. Some memorable stories:

>> Alien and me. What a great way to introduce myself as, a one-eyed alien.

>> In the shoes of… PONG E CHING

>> Themed story – FEAR. We switched off all the lights and told the story in the dark, remember team? Too bad it wasn’t scary enough.

>> Thanks for the treat Uncle Eddy. The story which eventually inspired us for Production Practicum’s film, 23:59.

>> AND YES! Remember this one?

Yes! It’s ‘Sally Sexy”! Inspired from the fairytale of Goldilocks but a Singapore and totally twist and turn concept.

>> Then we had a class outing to Arab Street for lesson! Remembered it as an AWESOME day out. Really, really, really enjoyed myself. And despite Nenie saying “No 6 people team!” we proceeded with 6 fabulous people and had an amazing time crafting our story.

Hallermak. Album cover seh!

>> It’s a wrap ): Last lesson, we created a story out of our class – Mr Men and Little Miss: The Search for Little Miss MIA. It was a mix of fairytales. Cool story! :D Ok say what. I’ll post the story after this blog post okay!

Yes, the flower person was me. Hahaha. Because I keep having flower brooches, according to Jing Hui. Haha.

And and and, we were rewarded with……. DONUTS!! ((: Thank you Nenie, you know E24E loves you very very very much. Aww ^^V

On Tuesdays, we had Production Practicum. So memories were flooded within those four walls of the Vista Lab. (and it’s not the kind of lab with hydrochloric acid and stinky ammonia. It’s a post-production lab. Oh yeah.) And so we did lots and lots and lots of editing plus a few other random things, like having mini picnics and karaoke sessions. Haha.

First few lessons, we did a little photography with the camcorder to learn about the casting of shadows for later filming.

This is my personal favourite (:

Then we did audio.

And along came all the filming sessions. It was awesome. I loved filming. We learnt step by step on the different elements, like lighting, sound and the visuals. The last few weeks, we developed a film of our own! Based on AOS, its called 23:59. Check out our FB page for the film and BTS pictures: http://www.facebook.com/home.php?#!/group.php?gid=269125187366&ref=ts

We received great feedbacks for our film. And for that, we thank everyone for your support and encouragement. We will still be producing films together as part of our FYP but this time, without our big boss, Aung ): We wish him and his FYP team all the best though!

Wednesdays were Expression of Forms day. We created many many artworks for this class! And I can’t believe I manage to create a two page magazine article for Katy. All by myself !(for a holiday assignment, of course. If not I would have gotten Tini to help me. Haha) YAY! :D

Also, we had outings for this class! Woohooo!

First was to Victoria Street..

Then.. Orchard!

Character Design comes every Thursday and we’ve got a few other classmates for this module. We had Sarah, Theo, Nad and Daniel. They were awesome company and we’re sure glad to have them in one of our classes.

Yeeeeeaaaaah. Our playdoh family. Haha.

We went Hong Lim Park on one of the classes as part of our lesson. And despite being quite a boring place, we survived. Haha. We went around the area to Clarke Quay and the Civil Defence Heritage Gallery!

Come Friday. The most stressful and busiest day of the week. Never have there been once when we are able to sit back and relax during the class. At least we did in AOS, most of the time, and some other times during Production Prac and EOF and Character Design.

Yet, I’ve got to admit, it is the module that I learnt the most things. Because most of it, I have never done before in my lifetime. Because also, it was Production Design. Every week was hands on, and we had to do something. Be it drawings, or makeup, or costume, or all at once. Yeah, it is that stressful. And we meet a new bunch of people for PD. Only a handful was from the original E24E because most of the people in E24E takes either a different elective or didn’t even take up any. Yes, PD is our elective, yet it almost kill. It was fun though, especially the costume and makeup week.

Our final Production Design review works! -

Set Design

Costume Design

Makeup!

And thanks to our models for lending us their faces for sacrificial purposes. Haha. We love you.

I would therefore like to take this opportunity (though you guys don’t even read my blog anyway) to say A MILLION GAZELLION BILLION THANK YOU TO ALL OF YOU WHO WERE IN MY CLASS THIS SEMESTER. It had been a memorable time and I now leave this class along with all those sweet memories we had together. I do hope that we will get the opportunity to work with each other again.

I shall end this post with the most unforgettable lines (:

Aung: “Thank :-)”
Jamal: “Tak pasal ah!” , “TAGALUGAMEGAOID!” (see, dah hafal seh spelling!) , “Asam pedas kepale tortoise!” (its kari kepale gajah for me, all the way! I’LL MISS YOUUU!)
Katini: “Apeshal!”[damn, tini. I’ll feel naked without you, too ):]
Mas: “Sakinah, bau busuk~~~ ” ,
*turns head slowly* “Name saye Daraaaaaah.”
Poy: “Do you guys spell apple mint?” (I love you lah poy. Please get well soon!!)

Till then, take care my friends and have a great holiday!

Loves,
Sakinah (:

I'll miss you all.

So yeah, we're going down.

Nicholas Sparks, yay.

Okay. I know I'm a little behind time. But I want to read these novels AND watch the movies!!

Aww (: Nicholas Sparks writes really good novels. I just wish someday more Cecilia Ahern's books will be adapted into the big screen. I want to make it happen! Woohoo!

Even if you don't see it, I do.
