Taare Zameen Par... Every Child Is Special...

I watched this Hindi movie last nite... the full 3 hours, ignoring my father's hints of the 'forum perdana ehwal islam' on the other channel... haven't watched any hindi movie for quite long time.... during shah rukh khan era aka my study time, we used to watched those hindi vcds... sometimes up till 3am and skipped the morning classes..... :)

anyway... i like the way the story being told... about a rebellious young boy who suffers from dyslexia... how he was mistreated by everyone... how he lost his self confident... and how saying "i don't want to'' is much much easier than "i don't know" after all that happened..... and how he was made realized that he was in the same group with great guys of the world.... and the pride afterward....

sometimes, rather that saying i don't know, i used to pretend knowing... for different reasons...
sometimes.... it was just to get the conversation goes on....
sometimes.... it was a way to get a close look of the skeletons in the closets...
but most of the times.... just to show that I was not ignorant....

as time running (to some it may be flying though)... and me being older now... i agree that to just plainly say 'i don't know' is sometimes the best... and in the current environment, knowing less is better i guess...!!!

i cried over the movie last nite... thank goodness it was just my mother and me...
and she cried too...
good job aamir khan... no wonder srk is no longer at the top....

Another year gone... Part 2

And the wishes continued the following day... with cake, gifts and friends....
Thanks to all....

The three free slices of cakes were for the three of us with birthdays in this month... Thanks to the girls....






And from friends at work... Mr Natural, Mr L, Kak N and Kak CT.. with the exact candles lagi... but then, age is just a number, right!.. Thanks for the cake, the gifts and the friendships...

And my new adik... miss colourful & ceria macam channel 611 astro tu... all the way from putrajaya.... datang penang lagi tau!... hihihi....

Another year gone....

This time last year, I was in Germany... a short, 3-day business trip...
In 3 countries on my birthday... klia, bangkok airport and germany...

In penang this year.... started receiving birthday wishes as early as 12.00am... while I was peacefully sleeping...

And the wishes continued... fb, sms and calls... no cards??? hmm... thanks for all the wishes...
Happy being reminded that I'm older now???... ;)
But I'm sure happy to be remembered....

Thanks again....

A Start... I hope...

The truth is sometimes too hurtful.... Just like what happened to my mother's siblings after my grandparents left us...

My grandmother left us for more than five years now... And grandfather left us last year.... Still think of them everyday though.... For the love they gave... for their kindness... for their memories.... And just thinking of them bring tears to my eyes....

Anyway, it was never the same for my uncles... There were arguments, dissatisfactions and of course not talking to each other... Everyone blaming everyone... Luckily, my mother talks to everyone... and I think being the eldest sister and good to everyone, makes them in a way show some respect to her...

Last year raya was very quiet....

Alhamdulillah, this time there were changes... We even had a raya bbq... Although not everyone was there, it was much much better than none at all... I'm happy for the effort... And I pray that soon everyone will be together... InsyaAllah....
A start, I hope for all of us to be back together....

Mid Term Exam....

Mid-term exam last saturday class....
which.... i forgotten until a classmate reminded...
which.... i missed out some hints as the lecturer was still using my old email add when i had already provided her my other email...
which... class started at 9am instead of 8am, and being good this time I actually arrived at 8...
which... i was totally blank on some questions....

yet... remembering my friends advice.. "ala... exam jer... kalau tak pass, fail..." still made me smile.... and not feeling that bad for not knowing the answers...

hopefully the lecturer is generous enough and gives us good marks for the assignments... and then need to work harder for the final.... hahaha....
