and what triggered this thought??

i saw some disturbing images on facebook. thanks to the ability to 'tag' people to get their attention and the news feed which practically removes all form of privacy- the world is now exposed to images where some might be extremely disturbing.

well, some might be able to tolerate it, others like me, simply tak tahan weiyh. a few weeks ago, i saw a pic of this girl, who is an epitome of a cute high school japanese girl, u know with the uniform and all. but in this picture, which i'm sure has been photoshop'ed, badan die penuh ngan lubang.

a few days later, i say a similar pic. but this time, a breast with the same lubang2.

and today, some finger yang terpotong. initially, i thought it was a photoshop trick. but after staring at it,(only because i hope that i can find some flaws to convince myself that it is another trick), i realised that it is the real deal. man, i do not want to be in that person's shoes, ever. imagine seeing bits and pieces of ur fingers dangling. EEEEWWWWWWWWWWW

i mean, think abt it people. once, when society saw handphones as a necessity instead of a luxury, there were rules and regulations governing the usage of mobile phones.

it shld be the same for facebook right?? i mean, people from all walks of life has a facebook accnt nowadays. in every smartphones, there is an application for facebook. small businesses use facebook as a medium to advertise their products. once, indie bands used myspace to promote their music but they are now 'tweeting' and 'facebooking' too.

even my uni is using facebook as a medium to connect with the students. from the std hall of residence and society groups up to the hopper bus group.

so i believe that i have proven my point. facebook is arguable an important part of our everyday like. since activities related to it does effect the masses, why shldnt there be a proper act to regulate its usage.

and my 'law' ramblings stop here...

well, at least for now.

cheers =)

there were a few new faces as mom found some relatives from Indonesia. so this June, mom and I are going to pay them a visit.

That means I have to brush up on my minang. this morning, our conversation was limited to simple sentences like 'di ma siko?' which means where are you know and 'aa kaba?' which translates to how are you. once they started asking more complex sentences, i had to rely on mom to translate em for me =P. sorry mom, lame tak dengar orang cakap minang. kecek kelate lain la, selalu dengar cuz kelantanese are everywhere. lols

I am looking forward to meet them again in june/july. which also means i will be discovering a new place every month.

my travel trail: prague-london-leicester-warwick-london-scotland-dublin-cardiff-malaysia-indonesia =)

and i bet a trip to kelantan and sarawak will join the trail soon

cheers~

however, i seldom feel lonely.

this is mainly because, when i wake up every morning, i know that i am being surrounded by people who shares a common goal. In SSP, KYUEM and even in Junaco Park, (almost) everyone was selfless. the word 'I' seems so alien as it was always the word 'we' or us weaved into sentences.

but i dont have that feeling here in Nottingham. and it is such a disappointment . its not just 'them' but it is also me. never have i cultured the feeling of hatred in my heart. but right now there are so many people who i just cant stand!!! and they are lovely, but.......

one of them is so bloody annoying. i dont even feel like seeing that person ever again.

and a bunch of people are just so disorganised. i mean, come on. u volunteered to do something, so better do a good job. and quit being so fickle minded, especially those on top. and learn to appreciate what others are doing. dont take people for granted. we are not ur slaves u know. we are human too. do u think ur the only one who has a life?? changing ur facebook status everyday, saying ' i cant wait for this to be over so that i can get my life back'. this is when sha and i cakap 'ngeng'. hehe

i am sooooooo lucky to have sha here with me. and some new faces who i look forward to seeing everyday.

hence, it is no wonder that i look forward to every opportunity to get together with my SSP and KYUEM friends.

especially my wonderwalls.

i dont normally do this but i made a cover of 'moon river' specially dedicated so those who are so close to my heart.

because only with them, i feel belonged.

* we are after the same rainbow's end

i am waiting round the bend

my huckleberry friend

moon river and me*

all he said was a simple 'hi',

yet it sent shivers up and down my spine

1. i feel cheated!! i got the dates of my flights mixed up. thank God I will not miss any classes or anything. so i will arrive Malaysia on the 25th of June at 1320 :). InsyaAllah. and I will return to the UK on the 17th of Sept. :)

2. i did not do my research first before i bought my ticket!! and now i am angry at myself. from the reviews i read online, Kuwait air is horrible. MasyaAllah. i remember not liking the seats in Singapore Airlines when i travelled to Jeddah and that is way better than Kuwait Airs. haih. and its not just the seats, but on board entertainment selalu rosak and security is really bad. like they dont care if someone uses their mobile on board.

i dont mean to sound like a spoiled brat or something but i simply cannot sleep on planes. maybe this time i will exhaust myself before departing or take a sleeping pill or something. next year, when and if i come home, i'll be sure to fly with MAS or EMIRATES. another 100 pounds is a small price to pay for a comfortable flight.

i just hope i arrive safely. keep reminding myself that i am going back to see my family. i know mom is really excited to have all her children home for raya.

i'm doing this for you mom, because i love you. and i miss you. and i know i have not been calling home for quite some time now. i'm sorry

*kaulah laguku, kau irama terindah...kau pergi*

this song is for our loved ones who has left us.

and Al-Fatihah for Dida's grandmother who passed away 2 days ago. May Allah bless her soul.
