My New Favourite Song!!!

The Bird and The Bee - La La La

La la la la
La-la-la-la-la
La la la
La-la-la-la-la
La la la
La-la-la-la-la
Come on, come on
Come on, come on

Make yourself free, make yourself grow
Come on up into the attic - come and see the glow
A pretty idiot is kissing everyone she doesn't know
And the pigs are eating popcorn, selling tickets to the show.

Give yourself away, feel the wind blow
We're watching movies on the ceiling, all the artists we know
If there's someone you don't like you don't have to say hello
There's no reason you should leave
There's no reason you should go

La la la la
La-la-la-la-la
La la la
La-la-la-la-la
La la la
La-la-la-la-la
Come on, come on
Come on, come on

Take yourself out, hit the tambourine
We have loaded up your eyes and fed you tangerines
If you open up your box you will find a time machine
If you try to find a scratch there'll be no signs of where you have been.

Give yourself up, make yourself sing
Don't tell us that you can't -
You need a sampling?
Da da da da-da-da-da-da
Da da-da da da-da-da-da-da dadada...

La la la la
La-la-la-la-la
La la la
La-la-la-la-la
La la la
La-la-la-la-la
Come on, come on
Come on, come on

Da da da da-da da-da da
Da da-da-da da-da-da

La la la la
La-la-la-la-la
La la la
La-la-la-la-la
La la la
La-la-la-la-la
Come on, come on
Come on, come on

La la la la
La-la-la-la-la
La la la
La-la-la-la-la
La la la
La-la-la-la-la
Come on, come on
Come on, come on

American Idol : The Guy Who Should Have Win

You know what, I don't actually watch the show throughout the season. Just the auditions simply because I find them to be funny, but I do keep up to date thanx to perezhilton.com

Now that its semester break, coincidentally it is also the finals! My clear favourite, has always been Adam Lambert. He was just, so different. A fresh air, he challenges what many people define an American Idol should be.

I mean to start with, his appearance. He's a natural strawberry blonde, but here he is with his dark hair and dark eye-liner. If you follow perezhilton.com, you would know that he is gay, and there are pictures of him as a drag queen.

But above all, throughout the competition, I feel that he has evolved sssooo much. He is just so talented, he sing songs and make it his own. Yeah, a little bummed that he didn't win. Thank god Kris Allen wasn't such a bitch and was pretty humble when he won.

People say this was like when Ruben won over Clay, well maybe... I mean Lambert is already ahead of Allen in the iTunes chart for the song he sang a few days ago, "Mad World." Brave choice I must say, the last time I heard that song was on CSI: Las Vegas.

Then there's this whole conspiracy where people say, the Christians voted for Allen. As they don't necessarily want a first-time gay Idol winner. Hhhmmm... I rest my case on this one. Ain't commenting on it since I'm a proud muslim and I follow my beliefs one hundred percent.

Above all, this is a singing & talent competition. Not a who's belief is better competition.

Kris Allen. He is definitely the dark horse. The guy next door. The tween choice I suppose. I'm not going to deny how talented he is, he's a talented guy too. I love the fact that he is married, that gives me a good impression of him.

Argh! I guess I'm just one-sided. I'm sure Kris will put on an album and go multi-platinum. But Lambert, he's a different story. I know he is going to be world-wide superstar!!! I loved how he had the audacity to sing with Queen & KISS!!! <3

I'm so lazy, I should be punished!!!

I am sooo lazy that I can’t even blog daily. I’m juz, 2 damn lazy!

I’m a bit bummed that my semester break is for a mere 2 weeks! That shouldn’t even be considered a semester break, more like, a 3 hour rest from what my brain will have to endure. Especially next sem. So much subject I am taking, Chemistry 2 and Mathematics 3 being two of them. Then there’s Computer 2 and FIM (which requires a lot of penghafalan, damn!). I’m gonna be one “hot mess” next sem, haha!

I guess until then, freedom is in my hand. And I shall use it 100% starting with waking up at literally 1 pm every single day at home so far. Its very weird, I’ve never woken up so late before, thank god my parents don’t bother to wake me up. I guess they understand how, my brain is just simply tired. Its so tired that I find myself even sleeping in the evening!!! I mean, I never tidur petang. A big no-no, if I do, there’s no way I can sleep during the night.

So anyways, to a more interesting matter, I am currently reading Angels & Demons. Ironically of course, the movie is out, and here I am reading the book. I gave it as a present for my dad, and he didn’t read it. Primarily because he’s reading a book written by Imam Al-Ghazali. My mom did warned me to not give myself a book as a present, nevertheless a thriller regarding Vatican City and how Christianity is in danger as my mom wants my dad to read more on Islamic books. Understood, but I can’t help myself.

When I buy my parents a gift, I try to buy something that even I can benefit. Usually food in the form of a cake. X P Or, a book! Well look how it turns out, I’m reading it for this semester break and already on page 189. The last sem break I read Confessions of A Shopaholic. The 1st sem break was spent reading Twilight! So there you go, a lot of reading during semester breaks.

So far this book has been interesting, it really makes me istighfar now and then for its deep Christianity content. But I am confident with my faith, it will not be shaken. Not by this fictional book anyway. But it definitely make me want to visit the Vatican City one day, it sounds like a place with a great architectural view. I am sure The Holy City of Mecca is a gazillion times better, 4 sho!

So this Saturday I am going back to Batu Pahat, looking forward!!! My Cik Zai is going to masak my most favourite of all Jawa food, Nasi Ambang!!! I just love, love, love Nasi Ambang. Somehow its those kind of food that just unite the people who eats them, y’know the whole eating in a dulang thing. I love it! We did it before during Engenius Appreaciation Night. I truly enjoyed myself during that time, too bad we didn’t cam-whore, would have posted it.

I’ve been planning to go to PD to spend some time with my cousins Iqa & Iqbal. My parents wouldn’t let me, in their head, “Buat apa duk rumah orang, macam kita takde rumah je.” Apa nak buat kan, dah parents fikir camtu. But its not like it’s a friends house, its my cousin!!! A close cousin lak tu… I guess they won’t let me go because I haven’t spend much time with them, masa short sem ni pun I dah tak selalu balik. Asyik stay je weekends, I can’t go home always. I need to be away from them in order for me to be, to realize how much I love them. Or not I’ll end up taking them for granted. X C

So anyways, the plan is that dalam perjalanan balik dari Batu Pahat, my dad will send me to Iqa’s house at PD. Alang-alang lah katakana, dalam perjalanan gitu. My dad tu cakap je, will he materialize it god knows!

What else… Oh yeah! The Hills!!!


Lately I’ve been watching a lot of The Hills! And I mean a lot!!! Okay admittedly, primarily its because I love watching the 1st season. It was the season that, I truly like Heidi’s character. She was so real. Stripped of her make-up, stripped of her stupid slang that she starts to adopt when she started to date Spencer and stripped of her dream to be this superstar. I just love the real Heidi, the 1st season Heidi. So the next thing you know, I was watching the second, and third season.

ALL THIS DURING STUDY WEEK & EXAM WEEK!!! Can you imagine, studying Physics, Chem Lab & Computer while watching The Hills. It was literally, Interference of Waves - Spencer & LC drama, Ideal Gas Law – Brody & Jen Bunney hooked up then Microcomputers – Heidi moved out of the apartment. It was literally study with drama all mixed up, X D

The most ironic part was that, since between my engineering roommates, I was the first to MERDEKA. My last paper was Computer, then I was free!!! My roommates on the other hand have a 2.30 paper, MATH 2!!! So while they were preparing for the exam, I was enjoying my freedom by watching the 3rd season of The Hills. So Ilee was going to eat her lunch and she asked me, “Atiqah, ko nak sikit tak?” generously offering her lunch to me.

And I find myself, unconsciously of course, replying to her. “No thanks, I’m like… FULL.” Then we both sort of burst into laughter, I was in my “The Hills” accent. It was so ridiculous.
I realized I’ve typed enough, I will try to update me blog more often.

BASUH BAJU PAKAI TANGAN!!!

Among many things that I have learned while living in a dormitory (sort of, I don’t know if Mahallah Aisyah cuts it) is that sometimes, and not all the time (but since there’s only 3 *beep*ing washing machine in this HUGE dorm, it’s ALMOST ALL THE TIME) I’ve come to the conscious that once in a while, washing clothes with my bare hands is necessary. *groans* Not my favourite thing to do, simply because most of the girls here lived in a dorm before so basically they can wash their clothes with their eyes closed but me!!! Mua!!! I’m new mmmaaa! The trip back from washing clothes with my own hand is almost always filled with laughter and cynical comments as I always go back half-drenched, soaking wet from top to toe. Like, I just had a shower. *sigh*

I’m getting good at it though, *lied*. Okay I’m not, that’s why my strategy is to wash my clothes when other girls are in class: Monday evening. Puurrfect! I just did it a few hours ago, and it worked. They weren’t so many girls, just two who saw me (my trousers especially) soaking wet. So it wasn’t that embarrassing I suppose. I can get half-drenched now without worrying about the snickers and… eye-rolling.
I realized I haven’t updated my profile in like, a gazillion years. Totally aware of that.

But now with finals over, I can now officially try 2 update it every single day. Insya-Allah...
