Pabila Persona Mempesona

Let The Battles Begin,

25.07.2009 - SMK TTDI Jaya's very very very late Sports Day was held at SMK TTDI Jaya's very very very small field -- at last. I'm a Persona-ian, the Orange Tigers. I went all the way to Tesco and Giant with teacher to make our Persona bendera that was apparently dirty and all torned up -.-


We only have Tug-of-War on saturday, so the Personas were all spirit! We gathered all the members which ended up all being very very very skinny. But what was awesome was our semangat! Membara-bara! We all concocted a plan, strategies. Stay near the ground for stability, 2 biggest girls and the front and another 2 at the back -- higher mass higher inertia (: Yes, applying all our knowledge, mate.


We covered our hands with flour for friction (tak habes habes -.-) and got ready to pull. We fougght Wira and won. Then, Perdana. Won (: At the finals, WAJA. We screamed TARIK! TARIK! And SHABAM! The kedengs are the winners! Numero Uno! Very shocking, so excited. We were like screaming with joyyy. Presenting the all mighty Persona Tarik Tali-ers ;


After that, all of us were busy supporting other Persona members, supplying them with flour and stuff. Oh yes, of course WE had our own fun with flour (:

Then came the prize giving ceremony. Persona is AMAZING! We won so many events. Persona is truly great, mainly because of the fierce spirit we have. I, myself won shot put, 100m and tarik tali. Not bad eh ? Well, I got sport blood. Originated as far until my grandparents. Wuut wuut~


Pn Norsyam was about to announce the overall house champion. All of us were filled with adrenaline rush. *Oh let it be Persona, its my last year. I want us to wiiiiiiiin.* I opened my eyes, and true to my wish, PERSONA WAS THE CHAMPION! Hurrah hurrah ! It felt so cool holding the heaaaavy trophy, oh a dream come true.

I will forever love sports. Love sports. Love exhilaration. Love PERSONA.

Sports Day was also Shida's Birthday. Happy Biiirthdayyy (:

Tumpah Si Air, Yu Must Skudai

I went to watch the Merchants of Bollywood at Istana Budaya yesterday (: My super aunty is the one who promotes this theater show. So we got free tickets! Sitting at the fourth row from the stage O.O ,woah. Apparently, the main actress's stage name is Ayesha which sounds like Aisyah which some of you may not know -- is my name (: Dahiyah Aisyah. So the story was all about "Aisyah" -- just revolving around me ;p The actress is SO BEAUTIFUL, really. I was like mesmerized. And the dancers ( and I mean the guys ) were -- hehe -- woah. Haha. They all had 6 abs. I was watching all these beside my dad. I was like,

*monologing* "nak tgk six pack ke tak nak? sebelah abah ni.. argh awkward O.O"

There were numerous dancing numbers. All of it so energetic. The music were pumping and I just felt like jumping on to the stage and dance! But oh well, too modest ;p Sadly, all the songs were from the recent bollywood movies which I havent watched. There were no kuch kuch hota hai songs, or kabhi kushi kabhi gham, or mohabatein. Haish, couldnt sing along, I didnt know the words ): Oh and I was so expecting Shah Rukh Khan! Oh dreamy, why weren't you hereeee? It would have made all Ziha's arm hair fall -- of jealousy of course. But takde ):

Overall, it was really cool. I wish had taken a photo with Ayesha, she's like sooooo pretty, and really good at dancing and acting. Oh darn luck. And this morning, I woke up with Bollywood songs in my head.

Kuch Kuch Hota Hai
[Hit Zaman Dulu]

Tum paas aaye, yun muskuraaye
Tumne na jaane kya sapne dikhaaye
Tum paas aaye, yun muskuraaye
Tumne na jaane kya sapne dikhaaye
Ab to mera dil jaage na sota hai
Kya karoon haaye, kuch kuch hota hai

Sing, sing!

Pertandingan Otak Geliga

19.07.2009
Yes, me nico and jess entered mighty minds at Sunway! Its a competition regarding maths, science and general knowledge. We've been waiting for this day fr ages. So we were categorised on the blue team. There were 120 teams competing. While waiting for our category to compete:
we sat down, on the floor of sunway pyramid, wearing our school uniforms, on a sunday -- how sad -.-


Then we got called to take our seats in the centrecourt. Believe it or not, jessica got interviewed! I was sitting right next to her so there's a possibility my cheek masuk TV ! Pfft. I was the team leader so I sat in the middle and took control of the answering remote thingy majiggy. We aced the first seven answers and we were super excited. Then, we got 3 answers wrong in a row. Shoot, these questions were tough O.O Then, came the 14th question. We calculated and got the right answer. But curse it, my finger pressed C instead of B ! Oh Noooo! I was SOOO guilt-ridden for pressing the wrong button. So another strike. All I wanted to do was electrocute myself. I was endlessly asking for forgiveness from my team mates ): Dah lah guna pen nicholas, spring dia asyik terbang sini sana, haishh stress stress.

Then came a question about basketball. Kebetulan I watched basketball with my dad a few weeks before and I knew the answer was Orlando Magic. Nico and Jess were clueless, so I answered and success! It was correct. What a life-saver. So all in total, we got 150 marks. I felt like a loser -.- They ask the team leaders to stay in their seats. Only top 15 from my category qualify for the next round. So they showed the results for top 12 first. No 12 : 160 marks. I knew it then that I have failed my team ): Suddenly they showed no 13-15. They listed all the 150 marks. Maybe there's still hope. They arranged the marks according to how fast we keyed in our answers. (All thanks to nicholas who always got the answers as fast as lightning. We are truly grateful) Alas, beautiful number 13 ! I was immensely overwhelmed with happiness, I seriously wanted to scream and kiss the floor. How grateful (: We were one of the top 30 teams from 120 teams that qualify to the hands-on challenge. Wuhuu!

Hands-on challenge :
CONSTRUCT TWO PORTABLE ELECTROCHEMICAL CELLS IN A SERIES ARRANGEMENT THAT CAN LIGHT UP AN LED.

I was like, say what ? We were supplied with copper (II) sulphate, copper and magnesium strips, straw, wooden sticks, connesting wires, cellophane tape, and some house hold disposable items. We had to submit our model design sketch in 30 mins! Shoot, serious susah. Our drawing was like hahaha dont even want to tell. So we constructed our design and the LED was hopeless -- it didnt light up. So did another 29 teams. Only one team had their LED lighted up. Damn good. So no, we did not get to the finals, but it was a greaaaaat experience.

*Our model

Apa lagi? Lepas tu, JALAN! We bought harry potter tickets and watched it. But it was unsatisfying ): I'll rate 5/10. To me, it was not smooth and the character development could have been better. Then we had sakae sushi, had great laughs. You guys are awesome!

Time In Ripples

Today me and Jess went to Niko's to get our hands dirty for the hands on activity that we hope to get through tomorrow. You see, we are entering mighty minds tomorrow at Sunway and we're like uber excited. We decided to mentally prepare ourselves for this competition and do a water clock! Muahaha,
*tick tock drip drop



Prepared the apparatus and started working on it. It was quite hard. Water was spilling everywhere, the manila card got wet over and over again, not to mention the bee that was freaking jessica out. There was even a time where our clock went backwards! Haisyo, time travelling water clock! Ah, revolution!

We started off with measuring one drop per second and well it didnt work. So after trying to do a number of drops in the duration of 10seconds, it worked! So I calculated the circumference of our so called clock and made time intervals of every 10 seconds and filled it up until 4 minutes. True enough, we succeeded (: and very pleased indeed. Wuuhuu, its so AWESOME !

Deeper Look In Our Insides

A video on the line of defense in our body. Its quite cool to actually see it animated rather than continuously depending on our vast imagination. Antibodies really do look like Y's. Coolio.

Our body is so awesome. All these are actually happening inside us as we speak! It's nice to apply what u have learned in real life. Go phagocytes ! God is truly Great.

Rise of the Fallen Asleep

03.45am

I have awoken from my slumber (:

Sukses!

The Beauty of Sleeping oh Sleeping Beauty

Today i felt tired the whole day. My body aches everywhere, salah tidur -.- angkat tangan sikit pun, armpit sakit sakit. Macam macam lah. Today was raining, a darn good weather to sleep. Good thing maths teacher didnt come today, got time to sleep heheh. Bagus lah 5 Amanah today, time maths semua belajar sendiri, senyap gila class. *Props to 5A! But well I was busy sleeping.

Then entered bio class andd learned reproduction. I loooove bio (: I wanted to go home at first, to you know, sleep some more, but then felt this pinch of gult to learn. I have tassawur 'exam' tomorrow so I had to revise. The MPS halau-ed me at first because proses 5S but then I sat with teacher, malas nak kena halau everytime -.- come on lah, i came to study, not to trash the library, sheesh.

Then start mengantuk lagi. So walked back to TTDI J house and had a good rest for an hour. Had scrumptious lunch after that and mama picked me up to goback home. I have physics tuition at 5.30pm. Ahhh mengantokkkk 0.0

Arrived home, relaxed for awhile, then got ready. Suddenly got text that teacher has urgent meeting, have to cancel class. WOOHOO can sleeeep (: So tucked myself in my beautiful comfortable bed and lingered in dreams.

I woke up and so the clock 7.15. ARGHH! Sekolah ! Oh shit dah lambat gila! I saw mak going in the bathroom and I said,

" Mak! Kenapa mak tak kejut aisyah? Dah sekolah ni! Omg lambat gila ni!"

Mak merely laughed,

"Aisyaaaah, sekarang petang lah. Hah, mamai macam abah lepas bangun tidur"

*laughs. I looked at myself, still wearing today's school uniform and felt very stupid. Itu lah pasal, tidur lagi time senja haishhh.

I have bio class at 8.30 with Mr Paul. We always make fun of some of his pronouncations. Like inhibits, he pronounce it has hinabit. Hahahaha he's an extremely AMAZING teacher, though. So he said he wanted a drink. I was thinking to ask cold or warm.

Involuntarily, i said "nak cwarm?"

A mixture of the word cold and warm. How tragic -.-
Everybody was already laughing their asses of. Mr Paul kata,

"Tu lah, make fun lagi kata Mr Paul cakap kelakar".

So now, kelas dah habis, and again, I just feel like sleeping. But Im scared for my tasawwur tomorrow. You know what, Im gonna have to wake up at 3.30 to study. Fhhh, I can, I have to. Im betting myself to wake up at that time. So, if I do wake up, I will post a blog at 3.30pm tomorrow morning on my victorious achievement of waking up from my deep slumber. Ergh, what a challenge. You all be my witness. Oh dahiyah, what have you brought upon yourself?

Cause You're Hot Then You're Cold

Chemistry is getting more fun now. Every class now we have experiments. Getting our brains and hands bubbly (:

Today we experimented on the reactivity of metals with oxygen. My team had to deal with zinc. We set up the apparatus n got our hands dirty. It was glowing and changing colours and well practically reacting! So awesome.

Our zinc was heated a few times but it wasnt burning like teacher said it would. We thought our zinc cacat or something. But then we tried burning the potassium manganate and a beautiful glow of yellowish greenish sparkled on our zinc. Turning it yellow when hot and white when cold. Chemistry is coolio (: More experiments, more more!

Presenting, Cikgu Khairiah!


KA-HA !

Remember, Because You Are You

Happy 17th Birthday to Our Dearly Beloved,
TING TONG (:

Whom friendship I cherish for the past two years,
The hugs I received first thing in the morning,
The laughs, the moments, everything.
You're a great friend.

Evolution of Atoms To Zahrahs

PUTRAJAYA: Science and Mathematics will be taught in Bahasa Malaysia and vernacular languages, in stages, from 2012.

At the same time, bold and decisive measures will be put in place to strengthen the teaching of English at all levels of education — primary, secondary and matriculation.

“The government believes that with this approach we will be able to empower Bahasa Malaysia and strengthen English, and at the same time enhance the capabilities of students to master science and technology which are vital for the future of the country,” he said at the ministry yesterday.

Observation and monitoring by the ministry last year revealed that only a small number of teachers used English to teach the two subjects.

The measures are:

• Increasing English hours for Form One to Form Six by 80 minutes, from 200 to 280 minutes a week.

• English hours for matriculation students will be increased by 100 per cent, from three to six hours a week.

“The achievement gap between urban and rural schools has widened due to PPSMI.”

“Based on these observations, the government is confident that Science and Mathematics need to be taught in a language which can be easily understood by students, that is Bahasa Malaysia at national schools and Chinese and Tamil for vernacular schools.”

What will become of our future
generations, people ? Haish,

Dahiyah Bee

The consequences of a rm25 voucher to the school bookshop. And to think that I burned the midnight oil trying to finish the est folio. I was thinking more of like storybooks or money or even a certificate for heaven's sake. But nooo. We had to invade the bookshop, returning with a dozen pens and pencils that were sedekahed to friends (dangg im nice) and some rulers and glue and scissors and a plaster. Joyous joy, kini boleh borong alat tulis. Come come lai lai,

The Gift of Imaginasi

I am tired,
Tired of studying,
My brain machine is getting squeaky,
*Nyek nyek*
Springs dash out of my head,
Accompanying the rusty smell of the rotting brain.

I am tired.
I have a vision, people.
A beautiful vision concerning money.
Cachinnngg $$

I am tired.
I want to stop studying for awhile and let my mind roam.
My vision shall be a success.
I would not need to study anymore (:

I am tired.
I dream of quiting school.
And set up a stall by the field.
Selling scrumptious, savouring
Nasi Lemak.
Yes Fat Rice.

I am tired.
My nasi lemak would be a great hit.
Technically bibik's nasi lemak.
But I feel like being cruel.
I take the name for it.
Ha-ha-ha.

I am tired.
I am confident of my nasi lemak business.
I can ensure a minimum of rm1000 income from my superb nasi lemak.
Yes, no more school.
Just me and my nasi lemak.

I am tired.
Find me by the field,
Use your nose to smell your way to me.
I am recognisable.
I am nasi lemak woman,
That always wear the same old stinky baju every day,
That doesnt notice the sambal by her eyebrow,
That shoos the kids trying to pull her scarf.

I am tired.
See what studying does to me.
Corroding my helpless mind.
Hmfh, what the heck.
Naaasiii Lemaaaaak (:

Time Is Nothing

I am simply dying to watch this beautiful movie.
Hurry up October, hurry.

"We laugh and laugh, and nothing can ever be sad, no one can be lost, or dead, or far away: right now we are here, and nothing can mar our perfection, or steal the joy of this perfect moment."

Pure Utter Exhaustion

MAMA, DO I HAVE TO STUDY?

Lala Land

Wikipedia says :
Lala land is a fictional, nonphysical place where people out of touch with reality live and where nonsensical ideas come from; often used sarcastically pertaining to where one's mind has gone.

I say : HOME.

Yes, I have rainbows in my head. Literally.

Mitchell Fox ?

LOS ANGELES, CA – The internet has been abuzz since this Sunday’s Golden Globes ceremony, where Megan Fox jokingly remarked that she looked like a man.

When interviewed on the red carpet, she said “I look like Alan Alda in drag. I’m a tranny. I’m a man.”

At the time, reporters passed it off as a jovial attempt to cover for her nerves.

However, today she has cleared the air and officially reported: she’s really a man.

Megan Fox was born Mitchell Reed Fox in Rockwood, Tennessee. From an early age, Mitchell showed an interest in both performing and women’s clothing. When having a preacher lay hands on him did not ‘cure’ him of these interests, his parents simply put him on the pageant circuit.

By the age of 13, Mitchell had already started a career as a female child performer called ‘Megan Fox’. Making her debut on an Olsen Twins straight-to-video release, the twins have kept his secret all this time.

As a sweet 16 present, Fox’s parents offered him sexual reassignment surgery, which, given their child’s career, they’d hoped to write off as a business expense. Unfortunately laws prohibit such surgery to be done to minors.

Since then Megan has been working non-stop, and been included on many Hottest Women lists in publications around the world.

Megan, as she goes by now exclusively, also noted this Sunday how much she wants Salma Hayek’s figure. She has even scheduled surgery later this month to get it. After the two met in New York this week, Hayek offered to have a cast made of her bust so doctors can match them exactly on Megan Fox’s chest.

The internet is already speculating whether this news will be worked into the plot of the upcoming Transformers sequel.

Hahaha what people would do to get a story. I doubt its true but if it is, you men out there that worship her (him? whatever) are like -- gay. Wuuhuu.

Frrrrrreedom

Hoo-rah hoo-rah (:
