ain't no mountain high, ain't no valley low, ain't no river wide enough

my bad for becoming the emotional ranting chick in the last post, sorry. oh well. a sudden lapse of cool calm intellect(not that i have any even when i'm not ranting around)could happen to anyone, or so i'd like to think.

thanx to those who gave words of encouragement. highly appreciated.

my mocks end tomorrow and therefore am in a highly pre-celebratory mood :p i'll have a week and a half of holiday starting tomorrow! not that long, but a week without accounting and econs would be nice. nani, want to catch a movie?

so you've probably heard about the virginia tech shootings. damn. i was thinking it couldn't get any worse after columbine, but i guess not. and it's sad the way some screwed up people are getting mad and skewed against asians just because the shooter was south korean. just read some of the comments at youtube and you'll see what i mean.

what's going to happen to the world now?

oh,for fellow muslimins, you should really check out this series of videos by the user 'ummahfilms' on youtube. check it out!really good stuff. even though the guy who's in the video is a muslim convert from the states, the things and situations he talks about just click with muslims here too. and he presents it in way that isn't intimidating or over my head. i came across it the other day, ntah camne it was linked on the homepage. it was good timing, i must say. very good :) my favourite is the one about ramadhan and also the one about distractions in solat. watch the one where he talks about how he converted too.

My friends are planning to go to genting this monday, so if nothing gets in the way, i'll go too. one of the extra perks of being in semashur is getting to go genting if your're in form 3 or form 5. for those yang tak tahu, genting highland was right smack in front view of our school. every morning during assembly you'd see the awana hotel or whatever it's called right at the top. yeah,man :p

i asked jia yee if she would go on the space shot, and she emphatically shook her head,heh. isn't it awful how when you go on that thing, it slowly brings you to the top, then it stops for a while and in that complete silence you're freaking out with the suspense of waiting for the darn thing to drop? and then there's a 'whoosh' and then it PLUNGES down and you want to go'AAAAAAAAAAAAH!!' only wait, you can't exactly scream, because your stomach and its contents have all gone up in your mouth, and you're slightly aware that your butt isn't touching the seat and you have that swooning feeling in the pit of your stomach like when you go down a hill fast, but here it's a 100 times worse. then the thing bounces and you're heading back up, your stomach is back in the right place, your throat is unclogged so you can start screaming, but then it goes back down again, and even though it's not as bad as the first time, it's still pretty horrible. and your stomach misplaces itself again, so your scream gets cut off. 'AAAA-'.

heh. should have just stuck to the gondola thingie with the plastic gondolier in the indoor theme park,eh?once you go on the space shot, the roller-coaster in times square seems so...tame. ahah, don't you think so?

anyway, cheers to a happy time, for you as well as me. let's think sunny thoughts.

you know how since high school musical's been out practically every school wants to emulate it and bring out their inner vanessa hudgens and zacharias smith ke ape tah name die? yeah. i was just thinking, if our college ever does a musical, and for some mystical reason i was starring(the inner workings of the brain conjures up scary mental images), i'd want the climax of the musical to be this song:



i'll be tammi to your marvin gaye! :P (don't snicker)

oh well, i wanna focus on the genting part. i miss the semashur days when we all have to witness the brightness of genting everyday especially at night. i didnt go to the genting trip back in form five but i did go there after i finished my mufy days. it was like the second time ive ever went there since i was like.. ummm six years old? that's like 13 years ago. man that was a long time. but oh well, i had fun. i didnt take the risk or 'fun' of the space shot or the solero shot wutever thing. i was the only one who didnt. its not like im really scard or paranoid or wut. but i had this feeling like, noo i would never ever go near that thing. yeah, maybe i was takut. haha. but i did enjoyed genting. sekali sekala pegi okayla. have fun pun have fun jugak. jangan smpai x ingt dunia. that was what i told to myself.

to deary ateqs, the obvious words are, have fun and do take care and do ingat dunia. hehe. wutever that means. :)have good holidays. you deserved it.

yeah, genting at night did have this faraway dreamy quality that made it nice to look at. do u remember how sometimes at night especially in february, you'd hear the sound of lion-dancing drums from echoing from across the fields? there was also this one time, i think it was chap goh mei, the town nearby went and release a flurry of tanglongs into the night sky. that was quite awesome.

you didn't go in form five?!ye ke? i don't remember. why not?

anyhow, baiklah cik farhana, i'll remember not to lupa dunia when(and if) i go genting,heh.

space shot is awesome!!

The moment when you reach the top and wait (for what seems like forever) for the thing to plunge was the most frightening one ever!!When everyone was caught of guard,zoooom,the next moment youre freefaling (i swear you could do physics experiments in those conditions,haha).

Enjoy genting,and ur hols!After ur gruelling exams,you've earned it!!

physics experiments on the space shot?

ahah,ur right! i have no idea what kinda of experiment(i've more or less evicted physics from my brain) can be done, but still, it does sound intriguing,heh.

thanx aijud, i'd like to go enjoy genting as much as i can too. tak lame lagi we'll grow up and won't be able to do this so often.

are there any good roller-coasters in sydney,mate?
