...In the Name of ALLAH...
Everything we do should be done in a moderate way. Islam teaches us: sebaik-baik perkara adalah bersederhana.Sabda Rasulullah s.a.w., "Bagi setiap yang terkurang akan mendatangkan keburukan dan setiap yang berlebih-lebihan akan mendatangkan kerosakan."
This is absolutely true. In life, there are things we should enjoy and have fun with, but deep inside we must always remember the purpose of life: to serve HIM in the way Islam teaches us. I have fallen into life's trap too many times. Currently, cannonballs which attack me nonstop are Korean shows. I cannot stop watching them, again and again, it's screwing up my biological clock during this break. Not a single day I missed to sleep at the earliest 5 am. In a way, I can wait for subuh prayer, that's good. The bad part is that I woke up late in the afternoon, missing my precious breakfast time and peaceful bird-chirping morning (as if there were any bird around!)
Starting with: Interest ---> Addiction ---> Obsession!
I managed to get over TVXQ for a while, and now other K-celebrities are in my head. Ah, I'm going crazy! Life is too wonderful and full of seducing poison. In the end, it's either heaven or hell our final destination. Advice to all of us including me: Let's make istighfar, zikr and selawat our life "oxygen", HIS love would never be beaten by weak human emotions. ALLAH s.w.t. is the only and greatest God, Nabi Muhammad s.a.w. is the perfect role model. Subhanallah, Alhamdulillah, Allahu akbar!

It's New Year 2010! Goodbye 2009, Hello 2010! Make memories of 2009, and start to look forward for good things ahead. Many stuff are waiting, many are changing, including my age is increasing 1 more year (o___O). New year resolutions? I don't know, I just want to better myself in things I'm doing right now.I'm in love with Ssangchu Couple (Lettuce Couple) in a reality show "We Got Married". It's a fake marriage between younger groom and older bride, but the way hyunjoong treated his bride hwangbo is too cute! They're not romantic but appealing enough to make me addicted to their charms. These are their 100th day wedding pics. Ohh...totally apples of my eyes...
I dreamt about them last night, not sure if I became his bride or what... *shy* *shy*

Winter break with another 5 days. At times like this, the urge to do things I like really is a ferocious attack, but as usual I don't manage to do everything perfectly as I wish. Too much nafsu in a female, as we can see. I have a loooong must-to-do list, meaning here a list of important things: study Japanese, study for Art class, study for next exams. I would encounter with the bolded word more often from now on. Also an in-class presentation about a Buddhist deity, Yakushi Buddha (?). The course is an Art class, but strange enough, I'm learning about Buddhism, Confucianism and a lot other religions (except Islam?). Uhuh...I'm developing a high interest into Korean language here. Am watching a lot of YT videos, all concerning Korean this and that. Poor my Japanese, after my JPNL minor has finished, I really should take another class for a good practice but Advanced course is too hard! T___TI haven't upload any picture from south/midwest roadtrip yet. Lot of pics to choose from. Maybe later. Sorry for those trip members whom are still waiting for the not-so-nicely-taken pics, haha.
for a tease pic. not in the pic: lan & aiman. sorry guys!P/S: More stories of the roadtrip are revealed in pao's blog :)

ALHAMDULILLAH!All praises to HIM, for everything He prepares for us.
A phrase that made my heart skipped a beat: "...I am pleased to inform you that you have been selected to participate in the KIT 2010 summer exchange program." A dream comes true! Happy to read it, nervous (or excited?) to think whatever is awaiting for me ahead. Many stuff lingers in my head for now, even exam materials not enough to cover up the heavy clouds. I am making the decision and hope it will be the best for me.
Thank You ALLAH!~

I love Korean and Japanese languages very much. I take time to watch dramas, listening to songs, practicing in classes and with friends. Learning new languages is not easy, but it would not be too difficult if we keep practicing. That's the essence of learning foreign language.Just feel like sharing my top list of Korean and Japanese drama/movies:Korean:- My Girl- Spring Waltz (awesome OST!)- Goong- 18vs29- My Lovely Samsoon- Jewel in the Palace- My Little BrideJapanese:- Love Letter- Hana Yori Dango + sequels- Long Vacation- Tada Kimi wo Aishiteru- Nodame Cantabile- Proposal DaisakusenThis list should be longer, but enough for now. I love OSTs for these shows, they're too wonderful. Watching fictions somehow makes me happier, as if I can escape from reality to stop and enjoy another world from a particular perspective. Sometimes, I feel that immersing myself into dramas is better than keeping up-to-date with depressing current news in real world... at least they're not real. You can say, "What's the use to run away from reality? It will catch up to you in no time." You're right. You certainly can argue with me about this, well this is how I handle my stress. I get a point here, right? Guess so...*shrugs*
Can't wait to know the result for KIT application in few weeks, wonder if I get to go to Japan under the ticket of summer study abroad, or not? For you who read this, please PRAY for the BEST for me. Thank you! ^.^

It's Final week, and today is already Thursday. But, I'm still not getting my freedom out of this fall quarter. Sigh. Tomorrow, genetics paper will end it for me. Praying for the best after the turned-out-to-be-not-so-good genomics this morning. Sigh.I feel like writing so just read whatever junk/idea? I'm typing in here. I used to be an observer. Sometimes I did not feel affected so much when it comes to others. Also, I was one of many who made accusation to people. Bad, huh? That's how I used to be, I believe. Right now, I often prefer to put myself in someone's shoes, to get the feeling and sensation by being him/her/them. As an outsider for personal or business affairs, we can simply lift our finger and point out to this or that person, blaming the guilt onto them. But are we really sure if we're right, and they're wrong? Business deals with a world too diverse, too many people involved, money matters cannot be left out. We say they're greedy, sick, terrible, but that's how world revolves. maybe they're not completely at fault, maybe it's because bad timing? Oh, now I get it how lawyers or judges go through everyday dealing with their jobs. Uhuh, I don't know where is this going though. I'm just trying to say in simpler words, I am being victimized by entertainment industry!! AAaaaa!~Study. NOW!

I
n the middle of lab notebook-finishing & studying, as usual, surfing for trivial and useless movies/manga synopsis, youtube-ing and wiki-ing are my habits. As for today, I just had this urge to log in into friendster, and suddenly I got a rush of feeling of something missing... (sorry for the long introduction)I went through several hundreds of comments, awhhh-ed upon reading many cute greetings from old friends, intrigued by a number of unknown friends, and such. Honestly, my first intention was to search for some particular special comments sent by someone few years ago, and now I got more than 2300 comments, without any shortcut button to lead me straight to those old comments (maybe at locations 2000++). Really, I need to click 'next' for the subsequent 200++ pages??? So you can guess I never succeed to get to the comments. Too bad.... I really want to read them again >___<Maybe that's why I don't use friendster anymore, it's too inconvenient...However, I got to admit, "friendster is too lonely, but full of memories..."- now get back to study, girl!- X___X

Due date for KIT-IJST application is 2 days from now.So nervous! I am still in the middle of finishing & touching up my essays, completing anything I need to before submission time. Being stuck in last week before the long suffering FINAL week (which is next week) is really stressing me out. Lucky, genomics presentation has finished, no more genetics quiz. What's left? Japanese final paper tomorrow, another 4 papers next week! *sigh*Sorry, digressing from the title. So, what's up with "Japan & Me?" It's a fancy title, but sometimes it's important to show how intimate I feel towards this favorite nation.Honestly, I don't know what is the magnet that attracts me so much. I love too many elements of Japan. Food, music, drama, traditional clothes (kimono, yukata), maybe Harajuku stuff too, unique culture and arts, amazing views of old temples and shrines in the middle of green parks and lake. Its people? Of course, that's why I "fall in love" with them, but not in the sense of lovey-dovey thingies. Their discipline, attitude, respectful behavior make me want to be one of them. I admit, not every Japanese has those good qualities in them, some do show arrogance and ego too. Well, generally, yes. Those are why I like Japan.Sounds too cliche, right? Hey, I'm not crushing on this or that cute Japanese guy or whatsoever, nor any hot Japanese actors in any J-drama (anyway, I'm watching Korean dramas right now). It's just that...I feel the need to justify my love towards Japan. It's too overwhelming, I think, and I don't know why. どうして？どうして？どうしてきみをすきになってしまったんだろう？？Effects of watching too much Japanese variety shows, maybe...?? *sigh*
