Life On The Outernet

I was on a 4-day break before the start of my final exam. And what did I do when I was at home? Studying? Sadly, no. I didn't even touch the notes I brought along with all the way from AS. That's me, if you wanna know. Memang before balik rumah cakap "I will study, I will, will, will study.." Bila kat rumah, haraammm... Nak sentuh buku pun belum tentu. ;___; I blamed nothing and no one but myself. I lost control when I found an internet connection. A home wifi makes it even harder to resist. Internet is like, my biggest weakness. Ever. But with internet, I learned a lot of things. I downloaded a lot of things, too. For examples, during the break, I managed to download 2 episodes of The Vampire Diaries & 2 episodes of The Secret Circle. Haha yeah..

It's Deepavali & also a holiday for all of us, including my dad, sis, bro & sis-in-law. I went home today as my exam will only starts on Oct 31st. So, we went to Carrefour to get meself a new eyewear. Freakin finally! Been wearing the same glasses for the pass 5 years. It's about time for a change. -.- And, I also got my SE W910i fixed, yayy! And I bought this as well... After a year of not buying a book, I finally dapat beli the 5th book of TVD. :D After that, we went to Suway Carnival for a family dinner. Pizza Hut. My treat. Or so it seems. ;) Overall, today was fantastic. What more do I want other than spending some times with my beloved family? :)

(Yesterday) "I delayed my trip back home just because of you, so you'd better be good, aite MPG (Malam Pra Graduan)? So, yeah! Tonight was the night. After entah berapa kali postponed, it finally happened. Malam Pra-Graduan 2011 yang julung-julung kalinya diadakan oleh KPTMAS (ayat dah sehabis skema dah ni. lol.) It was okay. Quite fun. I liked it. Just a bit bummed I didn't bring my camera along with me. :( Overall, it was a fun night. I felt lucky to be able to join things like this. :) The desserts were A+.

Just done with ETR II presentation. God, I feel so relieved now. I can finally feel the weigh being lifted on my shoulders.:D The exam's coming and to be honest, I don't feel worry at all. Maybe because I only have 3 papers to answer in the finals, and that makes me feel like... You know, malas. =__= But I REALLY wanna get a GPA4.00 for this very last semester (before we all went for industrial training in January). I'm hoping for the best..

HOW DO I COMMUNICATE EFFECTIVELY WITH OTHERS? 1. Be clear about what you want to express.  Often we spend more time speaking about superficial matters rather than addressing the core, significant and underlying concepts. To communicate effectively with another requires an inner clarity and a thorough communication with yourself. 2. Tact and good manners matter.  But don't let good manners inhibit you from speaking your truth. If your communication isn't honest, integrity is lost and relationships suffer. Tact matters as much as honesty. 3. Precision matters.  Expressing yourself fully involves choosing your words precisely. We're frequently sloppy in our communication and speak in vague terms. What suffers is that concepts and feelings don't come to life when we're not communicating clearly. Effective communication involves using precise language - words that accurately reflect and express our experience, perceptions, dreams, desires and disappointment...

WHY DO I FEEL NERVOUS IN FRONT OF THE PUBLIC & HOW DO I OVERCOME NERVOUSNESS? Everyone has a stage fright before delivering a speech. Stage fright is an anxiety over the prospect of giving a speech in front of an audience. Nervousness is normal. Everyone is nervous before a ‘play’. It is actually normal to be nervous at the start of a speech. Your body is producing extra adrenaline, and that is what makes us feel nervous. It also makes your heart race, hands shake, and knees knock and skin perspire. I feel nervous because I rarely stand in front of large group of people and deliver a speech. When I was younger, I dreamed to sing or ‘perform’ in front of other people, but due to my extreme nervousness, that dream was never achieved. I also feel nervous because I am afraid the audience will not like my speech or the way I deliver the speech. I am afraid the audience might think I am boring and they will not pay attention to me while I speak. The other reason why I feel ne...

Assalamualaikum and hello, everyone. My name is Syafiqa Durrani. Before I start delivering my speech, I would like to tell you a little story. When I was ten, my father bought me a novel. I liked that novel so much I could not stop reading it. That novel was Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone. I am here not to talk about the novel, but to talk about the author who happens to be my idol as well. Joanne Rowling is a British author who writes under the name JK Rowling. She was born on July 31st, 1965 to Peter James Rowling and Anne Rowling. She has a younger sister named Dianne Rowling. When she was younger, she has always been interested in writing fantasy stories. During her childhood, she used to narrate stories to her younger sister. The first story she ever written was about a rabbit, which gets a disease and has different friends visiting it. You must be wondering where the name “JK Rowling” came from. Let me te ll you about it. Her first Harry Potter book was written under ...

Remember the guy I told you about in my hundred previous entries, a guy whom I called Mr F? Well, I no longer am crushing on him. Yeap. The feeling’s just... Faded. Gone. I don’t know why, though. The feelings I had for him aren’t there now. Amazing, huh? I thought I would never get over him but I already have. When I told Anis about this, she said it is probably because I ‘fell’ for his face, not his personality, and so the feeling will fade faster than anything else will. I believe so. I noticed my feelings for him were fading when he was in a ‘fake’ relationship with this bitch. Although, I knew there was nothing between them, I still can feel the feeling wasn’t as strong as it was before. What amazed me was I didn’t feel jealous at all when I saw he changed his FB status from ‘single’ to ‘in a relationship with .....’ Another theory was now that I’m almost finish with my college & I rarely see him since I entered semester 5, the feelings faded faster because of that. And I neve...

Hello, October! I used to love you, but I shall hate you this year because. 1. I’m not going to Westlife concert on Oct 2. I’m not going to Rockaway to see my old flame, Alex Gaskarth & his band, All Time Low on Oct 8. F*** YOU. Kthxbai. Dear Alexander William Gaskarth, I'm sorry I can't go to Rockaway & see you on Oct 8. Though it's always been my dream to watch you play/sing live. But we both know that my future is more important than anything else. I can't skip another Investment class for another concert. I hope you understand. Forgive me. Your biggest fan, Ieka <3
