Ancient Myspace Account

Well, I’m in the midst of updating certain things on the site, so there’s not gonna be a lot of updates until I am fully satisfied with its layout (which would probably be never!).

I’m always trying to figure out the simplest way, and the simplest layout, but couldn’t agree on one. I’m trying to make sure the main section is wider, cause its all cramped right now, and I don’t like what I’m seeing.

All I can say for now, is that I’ve taken down my Myspace account, and also my Friendster account, which I must say, is a big relief. Its a big step, but not really one that made much impact on my life. More on that later.

Went for the Rainforest World Music Festival recently, and that was an experience. Also, Insyallah, I’ll write something on that as well.

Did I mention that I went to Lata Hammers (again!) with some of my close friends, and it was great. Not much to write on that, but perhaps some pictures would be suffice.

And I did a supporting role for a raya telemovie, which should air (bila lagi..) during raya. And I’m telling you, it was one of the longest line I’ve had to deliver, yet one of the best lessons (on acting) I’ve learned. No pictures but hoping to get some from the production soon.

A raya photoshoot for a local newspaper (apparently, everything is about raya, although its not yet Ramadhan) with the beautiful cast from Bella.

So later yaa..

A Gift

Unlike most people, i don’t really look forward to weekends. Weekends is when everyone is free and everywhere, and somehow, i become idle. I don’t really like to go anywhere during the weekends because there are just too many people around. People that don’t really matter to you, walking pass by, and its just plain boring.

I like it during the weekdays where i can do anything i want to. Ok, that doesn’t really make any sense.
Let me recap what went on since last time I wrote.

Farihan went away for two weeks for her internship, alone, to a different state. I hope she looks at it in a different way, and I’m sure she did in some way. I hope she learnt something about herself, and that now, no matter how little, she’s able to see what she’s capable of.

‘Bangsawan Naga Chini’ is not what I hoped it would be. But I’m cutting them some slack since we went there on the first night, its opening night. That was what I was told. Definitely there is a lot of room for improvements. I went in during its intermission, and its second half, which was supposed to be the highlight of the whole play, was a bit disappointing. But of course, it wasn’t horrible.

Toman’s birthday was on the 7th. For those who read his blog, and was wondering what I got him, its a rechargeable electric operated toothbrush, and he was least impressed by the gift. I just wanted to get him something useful, something he could use everyday, and those things don’t come cheap, you know. It was in no way an insult to him, honestly. So those who agrees with me, drop a comment or two, telling him its ok that I got him that. Ok?

And also my guest appearance on that TV show went well as well. It was nice to be able to see how other production crew works. And i get to learn a thing or two, as always. The casts were really friendly, and the whole crew too. Although it was a short period of time, I hope they find me easy to work with and that I wasnt really a pain in the ass to work with. Though i did came in late one time. Sorry.

I’m trying to avoid writing way too personal stuff in here, because a lot of other people’s interpretation would lead to my destruction.

I’m taking it really hard, the fact that i can’t trust a lot of people anymore, and at the same time, having to count on myself to make myself feel better. Something i’m not used to. I strive to make others happy, and find my own happiness in other people’s well-being. Ok, that a whole bunch of crap to most people, but its true!

Nite!

“..source of motivation number one, would be pain. A lot of people excel after going through a hard time. But do you know that happiness is also another source of motivation? How many of you guys have got that one going on?..”

Travelogue Section

Today started out with me sleeping all throughout the morning, and finally starting my day at around 1400. Boy oh boy! Way to go Ellyas!

But it wasn’t a total lost. I managed to go climbing, and this time around, Ijat came along, and that’s always good.

Another achievement, is that I didn’t take any time off to go for a smoke, at all, the whole time! Hehe! I think that is something!

These past months, I’ve learn to survive on my own. And today was the day that I finally managed to go around alone. Do you know that you can get a lot of things done, if you don’t have anything holding you back? Don’t get me wrong, I love having someone accompanying me, but i tend to be more of a follower rather than a leader. That’s just me.

But today, I managed to go to three different bookstores looking for the book my sister told me to get for her. And it made me feel really good, being able to do that for her. Though none of the bookstores actually had the book. I ended up having to wait for their call, to see if their suppliers have got them.

And tomorrow, I have got a pretty big day. Not thaaat big, just different in a way. And yes, I am excited! Woo hoo!

“.. Yes, I’d love to have someone to share the news with. And of course, more than anything, I’d love for that someone to be you. What’s life, if you don’t have someone to share it with, right? But then again, every single day of my life, I keep on telling myself, that it’s not the end of the world if I don’t ..”

The site is 80% done. I have got all the graphics and links and template done. All I need to do now is work on the contents. I have to retrace back a few of my trips, which is going to be difficult for me, for I have almost forgotten most of the events. I hope to work on it with a friend, she has been on most of the trips with me.

I am also working on getting my friend to write an article. I haven’t decided on the topic yet. For now, I told her to just write what she feels like writing. And when she gets the idea of the website, I guess it would be much easier for her. And also, a couple of questions I’d like to ask Miss Rocket. I haven’t even told her yet. Nah.. she wouldn’t mind, would you Miss Rocket? A sort of, what-do-you-think or why-are-you kind of question.

I have been meaning to write a little entry on the what’s-with-the-website topic. But maybe when I have the time. Its exam week, and it’s a lot of hardwork, very taxing, yet suprisingly worth-it!

So later.
