4p4 popstaers!

Salaam all.

i shall take back what i said about the raya outing being a waste of my time.
no siree.. it wasnt.
in fact, it was great.

the makciks were there of course.


Sapa nyer beg jer yang kau bwk ni...


Eh, she's taking our picture lah!

it was only the first house, and guess what we the guys turned to?


the v-chairman at his best

from yew tee to woodlands,
look at what the couple was up to.


tsk tsk..

presenting our dear mr osgodby who waited for our arrival, with scrumptious food prepared for the gang!



after doing our asar and maghrib prayers there, he brought out his dusty photo albums, including his wedding pictures and those when he was back in england! man, he WAS different! gambar dulu-dulu lah katakan..


oooh... look at me then!


those wedding costumes were horrible! (or so he says)

and of course, we ended with a group photo.
Muslim students of 4P4 - minus Hisham and Sahida

yes, that's me in the middle looking all quote shafiqah "kakak-kakak". and just fyi, those sitting are members of the class exco. well, except for fazli (far left)

now, that was definitely a day well spent.

and did i tell you I LOST MY VOICE!
really.
i cant talk right now.
which sucks.

ps: PSLE result's coming out tomorrow at 12 noon.
yet my brother's still so damn relax!
*rolls eyes*

Love,

Atikah

Salam people.

Funny how during school semester, you're wishing as hell that holidays will come. fast. but when its the holidays, you want the semester to start. fast.
Humans. tsk. Ungrateful beings.

So yes, im rotting at home, except for those raya outings. with great people. that makes me high on Coke and kuih raya-s. and oh-those-crappy moments. i'm gonna miss you lah people. one by one going overseas for studies / marital bliss. pelan-pelan kayuh lah atikah!

and yes, since 'O' levels are O-V-E-R, alhamdulillah, i have LOADS of time on my hands. which is supposed to be a blessing. because, i get to know things that have been KIV for quite some time. such as

ONE:
Spring cleaning (room)

Before:


yes, those are the sights that will greet me in the mornings (when i wake up) and afternoons (after papers).
trust me, as much as i hated that mess, i couldnt do anything during the exams period. so what do i do? when i want to study, i dump the whole mess of books and worksheets on my bed. and when im done, back to the table. tsk2.
but on the last day of exams (friday), i couldnt tahan the eyesore, so i stayed up to clean everything. THERAPY, i tell you!
it was between a) burning the books/worksheets and b)recycle them. so being the good person that i am, heh, i decided to give it to the recycling people that usually goes around collecting stuff on weekends. see, i've done a good deed!
so here's the end result.

After:

i can finally see my table!

and look at the amount of rubbish that i've been living with for the past 2 months!

thats 2 big black rubbish bag! (the others were from my brothers' room.)
cleaning is addictive, trust me!

TWO:
Write leaving and well-wishes notes to the class

you see, im a great chairperson. *rolls around in laughter*. so here was what i started with:


and 3 hours later:

some of the cards i made + lollipops!

THREE:
Do research on the junior colleges in Singapore

So after much thinking,
i've narrowed down to these jcs.

1st choice (InsyAllah!):

Raffles JC

2nd choice :

National JC

3rd choice:

St Andrew's JC

and erk, maybe? :

Anderson JC

and i've realised something about the screwed up education system in singapore.
a jc's either TOO good, or TOO mediocre. damn. how?

where will this girl with 7 points go to? damn. RJC's a 4-pointer, and NJC's a 6-pointer. Victoria should be among my choices but its at the other end of singapore! sheesh. they have a great humanities programme, besides rjc of course. nampaknya, i'll have to settle for nj...
hmm, should i put rjc as my first choice though. take the risk?
anyhow, i have until friday to decide..

gosh, time's ticking. going for raya outing later. with these people.

well, half of them anyway. solely 4p4. the guys and girls already went for their own outings respectively. sheesh. didnt follow suit, due to a certain.. discomfort. i cant seem to be in the same league as them lah!. not now that syamil is not around, and my mentality is eons away differing from theirs. this 4p4 outing is only for the purpose of crashing our form teacher's place. *rolls eyes*
waste of my time

speaking of which,

admiralty alumni (1997-2002), 25 november jadi tak??
tak ke semangat budak2 'o' level ni?? lepas raya pun nak pergi beraya lagi!

heh.
its time to go.
take care.

ps: My flight to Brisbane this Sunday has been delayed. Its now at 11pm. and no, you dont have to see me off.
Just pray for my safety; to and back!

Love,

Atikah

Trust me.

I'm not THAT thick skin.

I may be friendly. I may be crazy.

But i have my pride too.

So fcuk it.

I know when im not wanted.

Thank you very much.

For nothing.

Salam people.

I. AM. BACK.

word of warning : long entry ahead

first things first,
im officially 16. which isnt really a big deal. i mean, birthdays have never been BIG for me or anything. people usually forget my birthday. i've learnt not to expect anything from anyone. but before i sound so damn pathetic, i've got to say, there are some who remember 16 Nov to be special - to me at least.



that was the suprise belated birthday cake that these beautiful ladies got for me. (from left) Shirin, Syasya, Iqi.


the celebration was a suprise. what was supposed to be a last minute decision to catch a movie, became a movie outing + birthday celebration. trust me, i had no idea what was going on despite the fact that the 2 makciks were so damn late (but then again, whats new about that?), until the moment i stepped out of BK and saw the reflection of the lighted candles on the mirror display. i think i screamed when i saw it. i wanted to jump hysterically there and then. imagine that! you know, i was just ranting on and on with shirin about how screwed my birthday was the day before, and there they were, with big grins smacked across their face, singing a birthday song for me. thanks for remembering my birthday and celebrating it with me girls! i love you lah darlings!!

after hastily eating half of the sweet oreo addiction, to add more zing to that night, we went to watch :



one hot hot movie. MUST WATCH PEOPLE. especially fans of wentworth miller or hot bald guys! that channing tatum is hot lah. and the moves and music even gets the ever-so-stagnant dancer wanting to groove. trust me, the only reason why the 4 of us didnt end up clubbing that night was, well, the fact that i am now a changed person. alhamdulillah. im glad that they understood and respected me and my decision to leave that life behind. but we did enjoy ourselves didnt we? heh.

the show's message is cliched:
a)you've got to figure out your life.
b)work for your dreams
the focus was somewhat more on the dancing i guess...
funny how humans always only sit up and accepts reality only when something major smacks them in their face. always. especially if that something major is death. im a real-life example
so go watch it.

that was on friday. saturday is another hyped-up day, with me having a date with my bro to:



yes. it was tough deciding whether to go to Melayu.com.sg or PGL, but my bro(below) helped me make the decision. which alhamdulillah, i didnt regret. i hope.



PGL was too expensive for him, and no way was i going to pay for his ticket! and he was interested in watching the theatre performance anyway, much to my surprise. i was quite worried when faris messaged me on friday night, saying that it was boring etc.. if it was boring to him, what about that little 12-year-old kid i was going to bring along?!?! but he found it interesting, so selamat aku! i was assigned to write the review for them anyway.

there were certain things that i liked, and some that i thought was just unnecessary in the play. the acting was good though. definitely worth the credit. hopefully the review will be regarded positively. the performance had its good and bad points, definitely. so wait for it to be published in BH, insyAllah.

bumped into some old pals from BH scriptwriting workshop. adib lost weight, and shireen still looks good. i didnt realise it was zahillah acting until after the show! bukan main eh kau! heh. i met someone cute too!

btw, did i mention that dinosaur's extinct? yup. he is.
which is good, i think, since all my friends hate him.
thats just too bad.

i've runned out of things to say.
which is interesting.
i always have something to say.

well, im 16. and this is the most jumbled up entry i've ever written.
thanx for dropping by people.
till next time.

Love,

Atikah.
