I wanted to tell you,
How cute your haircut is,
How attractive you look wearing that jacket,
How I love taking long walks together,
How I don't mind waiting at the station for more than an hour,
How happy I am when you finally appeared,
How sleepless my nights thinking of you,
How amazing it felt to see you in my dreams,
How excited I am when you reply my message,
How I love seeing you get mad at me,
How I didn't mean all the 'bodoh' I said,
How innocent your appearance seem,
How inferior I feel when you're texting in front of me,
How my laughter is meant for all your silliness,
How I wish you could spoil me like my family does,
How you're the only guy I first hang out with,
How silence isn't a bad thing for us two,
How I appreciate when you open up to me,
How your jokes aren't even that funny,
How you always walk in front leading the way,
How independently you have been raised,
How adorable your smile is when that layered teeth shows,
How I've always wanted to take our selfie,
How happy I am when you glance back at me,
How I like it when you text me right after we parted,
How crazy you make me feel,
How I hope our friendship lasted,
In the end, finally....
How I am grateful we friendzoned each other,
Secretly wished you'd noticed all this,
Also wish you kinda feel the same way.

Yo! I'm back with another drama update.

After The K2, I decided to go further back in time and by that I mean a thousand year worth of time, into a different era - Goryeo Dynasty. This review is for the oh-so-famous drama titled 'Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart Ryeo' and damn that's one long title. It aired on SBS since the end of August until October 2016 for as long as 20 episodes. The drama stars MANY hot guys or princes but the leads are  mainly Lee Joon Ki, Lee Ji Eun @ IU and Kang Ha Neul.

I'd separate this post into 2 parts. One is a review up until episode 10 and the other continues til episode 20. The pretty obvious reason why I separated it like so is bcos the Second Lead Syndrome is TOO REAL HERE. The first half of the drama made me cringe and getting all confused like who the hell is the real main lead... But they made a good job at making us feel like there is smtg wrong with our understanding and the way we think lol. 

There are so many things to love in the first half. The plot as in the beginning where they meet-up, their bonding, their humour and the best of all is the casts' acting. IU portrays a miserable girl from future who ended up in the Goryeo era - Hae Soo. She lives among the royalty and the princes. Hae Soo is very close to the princes made the whole thing such 'friendship goals'. My fav character is probs IU's and Baek Hyun's, THEY ARE VVV CUTE AND HILARIOUS I KENOT. 

The romance however is where the second lead syndrome takes over. Ha Neul's character - Prince Wook happened to have feelings for Hae Soo (like duhh, that's what second leads do) and so did Hae Soo towards him like awww. But the fact that Prince Wook, is (SPOILERR!!!).... married. Wth like waeeee!! I feel so wronged. I pulak yang rasa camtu haha. I still like their relationship up til then though.

The second half is where things get messy and complicated and hurtful. Right thru the interval between part 1 and 2 is where basically the climax when Hae Soo is at her lowest. Prince Wook is so disappointing but at the same time, it wasn't really his fault. His commitment was towards something far more important than a mere girl. Yet he pushed her away - pretty harshly the way I see it. It breaks my heart to see Hae Soo in such condition but this is where the hero comes in for good THANK GOD. Joon Ki's character - Prince So is practically a mysterious guy full of hatred but in reality, just someone who are lacking of affection. The definition of tough on the outside, soft on the inside implied so well here.

Sadly enough, Hae Soo rejected his love (so weird like isn't this supposed to be a second lead syndrome thing ugh idgi). She, being someone from the future, able to see things flashing in her head of what soon will probably happen. I don't like the fact it's the reason she feels disturbed around Prince So knowing he will probably turn evil. However, I do love how they make her feelings for Prince Wook fade and shift to Prince So! 

I'm loving and appreciating every bit of the complication. It's funny how we are progressing as king-by-king die but at the same time we aren't, bcos the problem just keeps getting twisted. Too many antagonist in a drama... sakit kepala. Both Hae Soo and Prince So developed such a great character. Their sacrifices for each other are so unpredictable. 

For the ending, I really thought it would be somewhat similar to the ending of the short kdrama 'Splash Splash Love' (if you haven't watch it then go watch! It's one of my faves plus, it's only 2 ep) but damn this is pretty rushed. Truthfully, I wouldn't mind if they show Prince So existence in the current world just to make us feel better for them hmm. The saddest part is that Prince So's life sucks so bad up until the end. His fate sure isn't doing him a good favour. Why must everyone he trusted leaves him?? I feel like cuddling him up or take him thru a portal into the future or smtg. He deserved a much much better life.


"If I had not met him, I would not yearn for him. If I did not know him, I would not think of him so much. If we had not been together, I would not have to disappear. If I did not treasure him so much, I would not have so many memories. If I did not love him, we would not need to throw each other away. If we had not been face-to-face, we would never have been together. Perhaps if I had not met you at all..." - Hae Soo








All in all, love the drama so much!! The ending wasn't as bad as I expected, enough to make me feel ok. Though my heart had been broken countless times but it's alright I'm still good. Til the next drama, thanks for reading!

Should I start with a salam so people would know I'm a Muslim lol

Assalamualaikum y'all. I did not title it wrongly. I did went to A DANCE CLASS... EEEKKK!! I think one of my new year's resolution is to probably dance more and kinda sweat more, since I've been so lazy at home.

There's a place in town and they were having some kpop trial dance class near my place so Ka Mun and I decided to try joining. There were 2 kpop dance classes happening on Saturdays which is 10am-11am and 2pm-3pm. Since neither of us have transportation in the morning, we decided to go to the afternoon one. 

It's just a simple dance studio quiet spacious for us today since there were only 5 people in the room. Ka Mun and I being the newbies. We simply registered for the trial class but weren't planning to join for good. 

We looked up their fb page for more info and I gotta say that most people who visits here are Chinese. Not being racist or whatever but I kinda feel the need to not make it so stereotypical as if dancing (modern dances / kpop) is a bad thing for a Muslim in hijab. Well, it depends on the movements as in no worshiping of some sort and shouldn't be overly seductive but ofc, the purpose plays a big role (your niat or intention) but you see, it's all good as long as I'm not against my own belief. I don't know why society makes me feel like the odd one out here.

For the one hour class, we learnt like a 10 sec move? We were dancing to K.A.R.D's Oh NaNa. We started from the chorus and it was the body wave. So basically we did body wave. I kinda wing it since I have no trouble with body waves. Except for the part where I used my shoulders instead of chest and that is what I got corrected on. But overall a good experience bcos I actually got complimented huehuehue.

The instructor clapped when I first did the body wave (awwhh) and as I got the hang of it, she said "Wah, not bad. You got potential!" and she was pointing when she was talking to me in English. Everyone else is Chinese so she was speaking in Chinese while teaching them. 

I feel so great about it ahhh /blush

But the classes are so short and not quiet worth it. It's like RM100 for 4 classes and an hour for each. I might as well self-taught myself through YouTube videos. But nevertheless, it's more fun dancing together in front of the mirror so you can see yourself and vain along hahah.


I guess that's all I'd like to share here... So til next time, ta-ta /bye

It has been forever since I've watched... let alone completed a kdrama. Finally now, here I am typing my thoughts away on a not-so-recent drama - The K2! This drama stars Ji Chang Wook @ JCW, Song Yoo-na and Im Yoo-na (SNSD). It aired long time ago lol. It was broadcasted on tvN towards the end of September 2016.

I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one who's in love with JCW in action dramas. I mean cmon, Healer was damn good to argue about! So this drama was on my top to-watch list mainly bcos of him. And here's my overall review on it.

Credits to Asianwiki

First things first, the plot. Honestly, it gets boring. Quiet a monotonous emotion being shown throughout this drama. The action scenes were hella lot and so much focus on political stuff. If you like JCW in action, then you'll enjoy his hotness during those intense fight scenes but if you aren't the type to care much about the money-and-power side of kdrama, then you'll probably wouldn't enjoy this so much. The way I see it, those two scenes makes up pretty much the whole drama.

Everything revolves around grudges and backstabbing among politicians and conglomerates. It makes me wonder if these actually happen among the higher-ups in my country. Plus, the fight scenes are some gruesome shit. Blood everywhere man. How can JCW's character, Kim Je Ha (K2) still be living, he should be dead rationally speaking.

Second thing is the characters. JCW playing the lead so he's a strong fighter trying to avenge on his deceased lover. Song Yoo-na as Madam Choi Yoo Jin who brutally and mercilessly kills whoever that is in her way to make her husband the President. Im Yoo-na acted as the daughter of Choi Yoo Jin's husband - Go Anna, a traumatized girl who lived her life casted aside and considered a threat by Madam Choi bcos she may ruin her father's presidency. 

To me, the only character who is admirable here is K2. He has the sense of responsibility, courage, quick-witted but at the same time, sweet and charming. Madam Choi is all about bossing everyone around and depends on pretty much everyone else to do her dirty work. The character Anna is also someone who's plain weak. She's very innocent and hopeless without much charm other than physical beauty and that is pretty disappointing. She crave attention damn badly.

What I like about it though? I get the ending that I hoped for - the bad guys all die. But still hating on the way they are defeated. Not even getting a full satisfaction of the ending haiih. Very little romance in the entire drama, but K2's protective side towards Anna can be seen as the closest to 'romance'. But other than those, not quiet happy overall. Not much ups and downs, mostly all conflicts je.

In the end, I understand why Madam Choi is the second lead and not Anna. If you see their screen time also can tell why already. Why does it seem that Madam Choi is actually having an unrequited love towards K2 who's in love with someone else like... lady, you're old already! Hmm what were the writers tryna convey?? I pun tak faham.


That's all for the review. It's all me complaining anyway hahah kbye.

I remembered saying more like complaining about my mum's old car that would be mine ONLY IF I am brave enough to drive on my own.

Last week, I was teasing my lil' brother bcos he always go home with his friend instead of walking home. Then he jokingly said that since I'm home, I could go fetch and send him to school so it would probably save his friend's mum the trouble. Sekolah dekat pun nak orang hantar haih.

Guess what my mum said tho? "OK" She actually agreed to this kid's idea. Wah ma. Time orang mintak taknak bagi. Now, this works as my everyday 'training' before I could drive any further... kononnya.

Starting Monday this week, I drove him to school and picked him up afterwards. And now I admit that I've been making dangerous mistakes almost every single day. No kidding.

Like on Monday as I was sending him off, I was so close in crashing into the back of a bus. That's what happens when you drive behind a bus as it is approaching a freaking bus stop. Next time, don't drive directly behind a bus. There's always the other lane. Also, break if you think the car (or in my case that kura-kura taxi) on the next lane couldn't tell about your dying situation.

Tuesday was nothing bizarre. I maybe should just practice not simply turning at junctions before looking properly.

On Wednesday, I made a U-Turn at a random junction bcos I entered the wrong way. That junction also happened to be a gated entry into someone else's neighbourhood. As I was reversing, I almost hit the car behind if it wasn't for the guard who was passing by to warn me about it. Since I took the wrong route and the traffic got worse by then, I ended up being so late that my brother already reached home when I arrived. Thanks to his friend's mum. Penat-penat orang tunggu traffic light 4 kali merah hmm.

Then Thursday fuhh probably worst day of all... I got bleeped twice!! One bcos the driver wanted to tell me to go first, which was nothing bad. And second, bcos the freaking car was speeding yet I still cross the road omg. Damn scary experience. It was my fault tho. But if you ask me, I didn't see the speeding car when I decided to go for it. All I see was the one car turning to the direction I am heading towards.

So lesson learnt, wait until there are no cars before crossing bcos some risks aren't worth dying for. And there must be a reason the car on the opposite side wasn't moving forward lol.


I really hope I can be more careful and not get traumatized so early in my training period. Mistakes are inevitable but accidents can get ugly. Minta-mintalah dijauhkan, amiin. Remember to pray every time naik kenderaan yaa.

I just checked my grades for semester 1 of my diploma course. 

I've been waiting for the last subject to be keyed-in - Multimedia System. The rest of my subjects consists of 4As and 2B+s, so my expectation was somewhere in between. However, the result killed it.

If I were to get at most an A for this, then my GPA would be a 3.74 and I was secretly hoping for that. But the worst that I expected was my current worst - a B+. Not tryna sound exaggerated, but in the end I got a B. That is worse than a B+!!

I'm not quiet sure what is the GPA to get the Dean's List for my uni. But if it's 3.5 then I'm all good.  My current GPA is 3.62. Well, Dean's List wasn't all in my thoughts though. But the 3As (one of them being an extra-one-credit-subject) was a great head start.

My friend however got straight As before this determining subject. Too bad, she got a B as well. IF ONLY IT'S AN 'A', DAMN 4FLAT COME ROLLING DOWN TO HER FEET.

Now, my theory about this. We weren't told about our carry marks for this subject beforehand so I seriously didn't know what grade to expect. But for our project, we needed to make a video and I think my group's submission weren't all bad. Our quizzes were done online for this subject. And there were countless times problems occurred. And I've missed a quiz before but not bcos I wasn't aware BUT simply bcos internet connection plus website crashing and the limited time given before time's up. I. Seriously. Hate. This. Quizzing. Method.

One more thing is that I wasn't too fond of this lecturer. Not gonna lie, he is one of the lecturer I complained and sometimes badmouth about the most. Reason being is that he handles his class not in a very interactive manner. He chooses what he wants to listen and ignores whenever he likes. Additionally, I personally find it so annoying that he always promote his Apple-branded gadgets. I mean, tahu la kaya... Mentioning it a couple of times is fine but on every class? No thank you.

Is my carry mark that low? Or is my finals just terrible? Despite the fact the questions that came out weren't even included in his slide presentations!!!



Ok, I'm done ranting. I should just be grateful with it and shut up. Which in fact, I am happy a 'B' is my worst for this sem... Alhamdulillah~

Perhaps I should badmouth less about my lect. And probably, play less. Kbye. Hope your results are way better than mine hehe.

So many things are bothering me and just needed to be spilled out. Probably one of the reasons why I am so fed up rn.

Life update: Sem 1 ended. Which means I'm on my semester break! YAY!

I love changes. The fact that I can adapt well makes it very exciting for me. But unfortunately, changes made me realise some things I never did. 

NO. 1
I AM DAMN SELFISH

I am not a bad listener, but I always like it better when my opinion dominates the decision in group works. Most times the conversation topics between my friends and I always somewhat feel like another life story of mine. I am an open book which means what you see is what you get and it's tough for me to hide my thoughts all in. Simply said, I'm self-centered and I know that.

NO. 2
I AM EASILY JEALOUS

This part of me is always kept within. Well jealousy IS a game of heart and mind so that's pretty self-explanatory. Since my high school friends and I are all taking different paths, everyone is meeting different people. It's bound to happen. Now here's where jealousy kicks in.

I used to know most my schoolmates' friends like duhh they're mostly from the same school. We basically have almost similar way of life. But these new people are from different backgrounds and lives. As I became closer to people, it bugs me that I am constantly curious about people's life thinking that I might not mean so much to them.

And as much as I love treating everyone the same way, I hate being treated the same. Back to No. 1, yes very selfish of me. Also I hate when my friends post pic with unknown people, but when it's me I always do this. This is such a guilty pleasure lol #sorrynotsorry.


NO.3
AM I CARING

I personally don't think I am, but my friend agreed to this so why not. I do think about people's opinion A LOT. Especially when it concerns me. It bugs me when they dislike me. Why do all of this is going back to No. 1? Aha. I love being surrounded by people who are easily made fun of but doesn't mind and those who like making fun of me. Weird, but I take them as a joke and somewhat felt like a way of bonding. Usually boys are much more chill.

My friend mostly referred this to me when I gave my close guy friends bday gifts. Mostly bcos I came out with the thought even though we split the cost. When it comes to my bday, I don't expect gifts. I don't mind not having any. Even if you don't wish, I wouldn't care. BUT I do love giving others' something they'd like. To me, giving always feels better than receiving.

NO. 4
I AM FREE-SPIRITED

I knew that I am the noisy kind. But I never thought I'd be the same with boys. In my class, the boys pretty much talk to me, joke around, calling nicknames casually with me but it's weird cos when it comes to my other girl friends they don't. 

For instance, my friend - Nurin, has a crush on this eye candy in class. We call him Moji. Moji hangs around this gang of boys and are close to specifically one guy we call Squidward. Moji rarely speaks to Nurin, jangankan cakap senyum pun jarang. So when he did, Nurin fangirled like crazy. Where as for me, Moji and Squidward talk to me and smile like whenever we make eye contact. It's nothing unusual. It surprises me that boys treat us so differently lol. But again Nurin isn't so friendly like I am with boys here so probs why. And Nurin is the 'ayu' kind and I am more of a tough kind hah.

NO. 5
I AM A CHEAPSKATE

This isn't anything new but truth is, this is my main point. I'm not exactly a money saver but I don't like expensive stuff so much cos the situation I always end up in. 

In uni, my dad gives me allowance only for everyday meal without any additional costs. And it's always limited to RM100 per week on a usual basis. I couldn't ask for more unless it's for an extra need or fees or any emergency thing of some sort bcos it's bad to lie and I know how hard my parents work for what they get. Holidays are worse bcos I'm always home and my dad won't have reason to give me any pocket money.

So, I hate going out mostly based on this reason. However, I admit I have an expensive taste for stuff but I won't spend unless it's discounted, which I know can be annoying to my friends since I'm such a "cheapskate". Money issue is always the case for me with Sri Aman-ian cos everyone so kaya.


NO. 6
I AM INDECISIVE

I was gonna deny this bcos I thought that I always let the other person decide since I honestly don't mind things. But after going through my horoscope with my friends, I found out Libras (me) are very indecisive. And after I rejudging my point of view, I gotta admit I AM indecisive. That includes while shopping, planning hangouts and ofc, where and what to eat...


Alrighty guys.
HAPPY 2017!! 

I have yet to make any New Year's Resolution but if I do, I'll post it here soon ya.
