Malapetaka

The malapetaka of unorganized homework, strewn papers, and other paraphernalia. In a crisis like this, your bed must double as extra working space. Never mind that at night, when you're too malas to clear everything up, your sleeping partner turns out to be your maths textbook and accounting file.
Songs i wish were in my ipod:
  1. Belle and Sebastian - 'White Collar Boy'
  2. John Mayer - 'Hummingbird'
  3. James William Hindle - 'Silence'
  4. The Shins - 'Kissing the Lipless'
  5. Anggun - 'Selamanya'

Does anyone happen to have any of the songs?kakak?i can't download anything at the moment, limewire won't work.

The last song on the list, Anggun's 'selamanya', is particularly moving. If you've watched 'Cinta', you'd notice it was playing during the scene where they bury the sister, the one who died because she went and sedekah a kidney or bone marrow or something to her brother (haikal ke name die?i've forgotten) so that he could live. I came across it on youtube, you can watch it here if you want, she sings it as an intro, about two minutes lebih from the whole thing. I'm not sure if that's an abbreviated version or what. either way, i find it spectacularly soulful and haunting. pay attention to the lyrics (if you decide to take a look at the video).

Saya bakal membuat pembentangan tentang sumbangan tamadun islam dalam bidang Sains dan Teknologi untuk kelas Kajian Islam saya pada 7 hari bulan Febuari. Kemungkinan besar saya akan melakukannya dalam Bahasa Melayu. Oleh sebab itu, memandangkan saya sudah lama tidak bertutur dalam Bahasa Melayu secara formal (disebabkan pembelajaran saya secara kesuluruhannya dilakukan dalam Bahasa Inggeris), saya berpendapat bahawa saya perlu berlatih mulai sekarang agar pembentangan dapat dilakukan dengan lancar dan supaya saya tidak memalukan diri saya sendiri.

ha.ha.ha. Apakah?(heh, i have no idea what relevance this word has to whatever i'm saying, but it just seems amusing to say it, having heard people like izzat and aina say it before)

kakak, since a few days ago,heh. but 'white collar boy' seems so far to be their only song i like.

anna matilda, no probs, did the id work? sorry i practically screamed your name bile terserampak with you hari tu,heh.

nani, wakaka,my taste in music isn't exactly deep. i don't really know a lot of unmainstream music, mostly smidgeons(sp?) of what kakak listens to, so yeah, ur right, if not for kakak, my music taste would most probably have been limited to top 40 hits. but seriously, there really isn't much to listen to on the radio anymore!now in the mornings when i drive to college i don't bother listening to the radio, because i'm sick of hearing stuff from beyonce, akon, fergie,hynder(hinder?tak tahu camne nak eja), etc. Their songs can really get on ur nerve la(don't even get me started on any tata young songs). i just don't see the point in them. no offense to anyone who likes them, this is just my opinion.
