Its over already..??

Aww.. its the end of the March holidays already. I kinda miss staying up late at night, knowing that there aint gonna be school tomorrow. Sigh.. I guess the good times gotta go.

Tidbits restocked! Haha, and I cleaned up part of my room, played some computer games, continued my Physics homework and some other random stuff. And I got to watch this awesome movie on Star Movies, I think. It was called 'Sydney White'. Yeah, I quite enjoyed it.. and now, time to watch the movie 'Fa-Chan' which means 'My Girl'. See ya guys..

Wassalam..

Shazaa uploaded some old photos and here's a photo of me! Dont I look younger? :D

[EDITED IN THE MORNING]
Haha, I must really have a lot of time in my hands to be writing in the morning. Well anyway, the movie 'Fa-Chan' I watched last night was the sweetest thing. It was about this boy and girl who were neighbors and they play and spend time together. Yeah, the boy was an outcast with the guys so he usually played with the girls. When the guys do start to play with him, they dared him into disrupting the girls and he did so willingly. The boy, named Jeab, unknowingly hurt Noi Nah, the girl, and severed their close relationship.
Days later, he found out that Noi Nah was moving and tried his utmost best to see her off but to no avail. The ending was a bit of a let down as they saw each other, only for Jeab to see Noi Nah get married to another guy. Aww...
Hehe, and I recommended this movie to Shaakira and I think she enjoyed it.. didnt you, Shaakira? Haha, man.. I wish more Irsyadians could stay up late on a school night. Well, nevermind.. Aaah, and I think I better get going to school now.. :)

Get Well, Buddy

It was so hard to get up from bed in the morning. Everything was as it should have been. The pitter-patter of the rain set a nice mood, accompanied by the cool breeze which entered my room and enveloped me in its sweetness. Even the lighting in my room seemed right. Not too bright nor too dark. It was the best way to wake up..

I didnt plan to go anywhere today since my leg still hurts a bit. Hehe, apologies to Syuhada for not being at school. Next Saturday, aite?
Well anyway, I did a few things to busy myself. Playing computer games was top on the list since it was a great way to kill time. A few hours into the game, I remembered about my Physics worksheet and so I searched through tons of notes and books to find that one single assignment. I didnt finish it though cause one look at it and I felt like putting it away. Okaaay.. so I answered the easy questions, thats all.

I got word that Shazaa is sick which is sooo sad. I hope she gets better and all cause I cant bear to know that she's sick. Its just unfortunate. Syafakillah, Shazaa..
Oh, and I got my haircut today. Yeah, a short trip to Thomson Plaza just before Maghrib which was cool. Hmm.. I gotta re-stock on my tidbits provisions too. Oreos and butter biscuits.. anything else? I hope not.. ;D

Wassalam..

Pain

"When you run 2000m in total with an injured right leg, you create a whole new meaning of pain.. *wince*"
Thats what I wrote on Facebook just now... and yeah, truthfully, it does hurt. But hey, as they say.. "No Pain, No Gain"

The day started out quite uneventful. I tossed right and left on my bed. My body was reluctant to get off of the comfy mattress. However, it soon came to a point where I got too bored lying down and finally, I stood up. It was about 9am in the morning. I washed up and got ready. 45 minutes later, I left the house for school.

There, I met up with Mr Izzad, Bukhari, Helmi and Abdul Rahman Rahim. We planned to do our english project with the use of Mr Izzad's camera. Fierdaos couldnt join us since he had some work to do. Nevermind.. Zulfaqar joined us anyway so it was fine.
We filmed our shots at the canteen and the places near it. There was lots of laughter, mainly thanks to Abdul Rahman. Haha, it was fun.

We performed our Friday prayers at Muhajirin Mosque. I met with Abdul Aziz, Luqman Hakim and Luqman Nur. When the sermon and prayers had ended, I saw the 3 of them with Haziq, Muhammad and Azhar. They invited me to play basketball with them but I declined the offer since I did have some stuff to do.
So, when we were done, we all left for Yio Chu Kang Stadium excluding Helmi who went home and Mr Izzad, who rode his motorbike.

We arrived at the stadium, where we saw lots of guys and girls training. We changed into our sports wear and did a couple of stretches before hitting the track and doing 2 rounds of warm-up. My right leg started to hurt a bit but I ignored it. Then, we had to do 3 sets of 200m. By the 2nd set, the aching in my leg intensified. Mr Muneer let me rest and later, we all did our 'Asr prayers. My thigh burned as I moved but I bit back the pain.

Next, we all had to do 2 sets of 400m. I braved myself and got 2nd position for both rounds. But that didnt matter because my leg was protesting violently. I couldnt walk properly. So, Danish and I went to the changing room and rested in there. Bukhari, Abdul Rahman and Zulfaqar joined us a while later.

I left first in case the teachers caught us only to come back to hear the start of another exercise. I felt like crying but it was ok. Danish and I were somehow excused cause we were both injured. Soon, it started to rain heavily so training finally ended. Danish, Bukhari, Zulfaqar, Abdul Rahman and I showered in the toilets and got changed. Haha, and when I was wearing my jeans, Thalhah, Shafwan and Shaquille stared at me sympathetically cause I was having a hard time raising my leg. When I came back, Zubaidah and Syuhada asked if I was ok. I nodded curtly, wincing as I got up the steps.

The 5 of us (Bukhari, Danish, Abdul Rahman, Zulfaqar and I) went home with Farid. Danish and Farid supported me while walking to the MRT station cause I wasnt coping very well alone. Thanks, guys..
I arrived home at about 8pm in the evening.. tired and just planning to rest.

Wassalam..

Cranky

Let's cut to the chase..
I met Luqman Nur and Haziq at Ang Mo Kio MRT station. We took the train all the way to Jurong East cause we had a science excursion today at Snow City and the Science Centre. There, we met with more people such as Muhammad, Helmi and a heck of a lot of Irsyadian girls.
Without further delay, we all walked to Snow City.

We rested at the lobby while we waited for the others. I brought my only working camera left. Its used only as a last resort. However, I frowned as the news was passed on. No photography in the Snow City compound. Tsk..
All of us were led to a classroom where the instructor, Mr Subash (Is that his name?) taught us how to make ice-cream using liquid nitrogen. It was really cool. We were all separated into groups and we chose our preference of flavours. The guys chose chocolate. The girls had 2 groups. One of them picked a mixture of chocolate and vanilla and the other group chocolate and strawberry. In the end, I got to taste all 3 ice-creams. It was delicious!

After that, we got suited up to enter the place known as 'Snow City'. Everyone wore a jacket, a pair of gloves and a pair of boots. Even with all that covering, when we entered the compound, it was freezing cold! My first step into the area resulted in a slip.. *smacks head*
The place wasnt really big. In fact, it was a lot smaller than I expected. Should've been named the 'Snow Building' cause hey.. its not even 1/10 of a city. The best part was the huge slide. We went in groups and slided down holding on to each other. One time, we were going so fast and my buoy slipped from underneath me. Hahaha, my butt tasted ice.. and it hurt!

By the end of it, nearly everyone had red noses. We left the place and went to eat. The guys ate at IMM. We broke into groups and ate at different places. And lemme tell you, the food there is expensive. I saw a menu that said a plain prata cost $1.80!!! Thats just outrageous!
Well anyway, after lunch, we did our Zuhr prayers at a specific place. It was quite cosy and Im glad it was there. I salute the people who prepared the place.

We returned to the Science Centre and to my surprise, we had a class with a guy named Mr Yong. I was like.. "Err.. are we gonna study?"
Luckily, we didnt. However, we did do groupwork on how to build a shield for a spacecraft. We had to come up with group names and my group picked Perseus V1.. after my blog name. Haha, many of the girls looked at me when they saw the word 'Perseus'. I guess my blog isnt so secretive.. XDD

At this point, I started to get cranky. Practical groupwork in science class usually make me cranky and bitter.. I dunno why. The class was quite entertaining but I wasnt in such a great mood. I went home with Farid and Bukhari. Arrived home at about 6:30pm.. Mhmm, it was okay..

Wassalam..

Time Flies

Waah.. cant believe my week is still having its good run! Im having loads of fun every single day it almosts seems as if the week is almost up. Like they say.. "Time flies when you're having fun!"
And yeah, it is nearing the second half of the week. Sigh.. I am so not looking forward to saying goodbye to the holidays. Dear Time, could you stand still for a moment? It'd help if you did..

Rock climbing with Mr Hazrin and Mr Rizal was awesome!!! It was loads of fun being with the two of them. They taught me loads of stuff about climbing and also tips on various things. It IS harder than it looks but I got the hang of it. It was also a great male bonding session since there were no girls present. In fact, I was the only one who showed up. Haha, but hey, it was fun! Thanks Mr Hazrin for inviting... :D

After that, I went to Luqman Hakim's house and went swimming with the guys (Hanafiah, Usaid, Luqman Nur & Abdul Rahman Aziz). We played games while in the pool. The funniest and craziest was gladiator fighting. Haha, it was hilarious!
We washed up and did our prayers and then ate some pizza which Luqman ordered. Everyone had to chip in, of course.
Then, we all played Halo 3 in the living room with Luqman's XBOX 360. I became the crazy dude cause I drove the WartHog (A jeep of some sort) and used the machine gun at the rear of the WartHog to shoot down my enemy from afar. Muahaha! It was so thrilling!

I went back home with Luqman Nur. We rode Bus No. 74 all the way till MacRitchie. I alighted there and chased Bus No. 52 and rode it all the way home. Hehe, boy.. I had a fantastic time today! And tomorrow, science excursion to Snow City and Science Centre! Aaarrgghhh! What unlucky timing.. I still dont have a camera.. Sigh.. Nevermind..

Wassalam..

Sports All The Way

Im plagued by a terrible headache right now. Sigh.. I dunno. Just out of the blue, it strikes me and now.. now, Im suffering. May Allah heal me..

It was a tiring day today. Badminton practice with the guys was quite invigorating. I got to warm-up my sleeping badminton instincts. Hehe, in the process, I chose Rifqi as my double's partner for Inter-Madrasah. Yeah, he's quite good though I think the both of us can do better.

At the end of the training, a chinese girl and her coach entered the court. It was their turn, I guess. While packing up, I couldnt help but look at the girl play. Haha, noo.. It wasnt anything. Just that she played very very well. I was so impressed with her. My eyes found it hard to follow her as she was impressively quick. And the sound of her smash was just sooo satisfying to hear. Haha, yeah.. she was that good.

I took Bus No. 162 and went to Abdul Aziz's house where I joined him and Luqman Nur. We watched 'Enchanted' and 'Speed Racer' the movie and played Sudden Attack and BlackShot. Also did our prayers there before leaving.
Basketball with the two of them was great. Now, we can all score 3-pointers which is awesome. We played till about 6pm, after which we all went home. Before that, the three of us bought some drinks at Cheers.

So tomorrow.. Im going rock climbing with Mr Hazrin. I asked some friends to come but most of them have other stuff to do so I guess Im going alone. Haha, I hope other Irsyadians come too.
Oh, and the week is almost up. I gotta get some work done and set things straight.

Wassalam...

Hyper

My sores are all better. Yup, all I needed was time to rest. My feet are almost in tip-top condition. Maybe a few more days of rest.. Yeah, that should do the trick.
Well, today was definitely exciting. So far, this has been one of those hyper moments when I just cant help but laugh at every little thing. Yeah, it was fun.. :D

I got a call from Danish at about 11:30am, asking me if I wanted to go to Uniqlo with him and some other guys. All I did was ask my mother and I got the green light. I was all set to go.
I met up with the guys at Woodlands Library at about 1pm or so. Danish and his english project team were discussing about their video and all that stuff. Meanwhile, I checked for any good book I could read while waiting for them. There was this nice book titled 'Anyone But You'. It was a very interesting book and I got so engrossed in it that I ended up borrowing it.

Did my Zuhr prayers at the library. Oh, and I also saw some S5 sisters, namely Aiin, Rusda and Izzah. I couldnt see the others clearly but we waved at them when we took the escalator down.
Had lunch at McDonalds and then left for Somerset.
Halfway into the train ride, the others (Muhammad, Ali Imran & Danish) decided to go to Orchard instead because Somerset was too far and it was already 4.30pm, if Im not mistaken.
So, we alighted at Orchard and entered ION. We headed to Uniqlo and found most of the stuff to be expensive. So, we changed course and walked to Far East Plaza.
There, we randomly walked in and out of shops. Danish and I were at the peak of 'hyper-ness'. We laughed and giggled in the store. And whenever there was music playing, we danced like it was nobody's business. Mhmm.. we were so thrilled. In the end, we didnt buy anything at all. But the adventure was quite memorable. Maybe some other time..

Wassalam..
