Hobby

I have a lot of hobbies.

but my utmost favorite is Sleeping.



wehwehweh same Jessica, same!

the Crafty part hobby that I picked up quite recently is a way of me to be rajin. 
My top hobbies includes Reading and Writing.
So, when I'm demotivated to do the reading and writing, I can do other stuff as a way for me to not be so lazy. or a way to get me out of my bed.

maybe it's the age factor; the older you get the less energetic you become? ever heard that saying? 

I used to hear people said, as you grow older, your physical strength isn't how it used to be.

I can't be experiencing that now. I'm only 28!

anyway

banyak mana pun 'hobby' ku, kalau ku inda luan rajin, sama saja pun mcm aku nada hobby.


I shall try to make a new mind set; my hobby is to make money.

Struggle

you don't know real struggle

until you experience slow internet.

-_-"

I was trying to watch God of Egypt online.
it's a two hour movie.
I started at around 9pm and by 1:51am later, the movie is still not finish.





SERIOUSLY!

I can't really enjoy the movie with all the pausing and waiting.

I finally understand why this movie didn't 'air' in Brunei. 
also, the 'Beast' kurang labih usulnya dengan usul Sea of Monster from Percy Jackson.
the story was supposed to be the beginning of Egypt before the Pharoahs, so the story-line was interesting. 
I know the Egypt was considered awesome engineers but dalam this movie, the graphics were, mcm, telampau 'forward'. almost futuristic even. Still awesome plang. 

but like I said, I wasn't enjoying the movie much, so, A for effort.

and thank you internet for being the awesome-est.
a two hour movie became a five hour movie. 
fantastic.

Sungkai Outing

so much for my 'at least Two Sungkai Outing this year' post.

LOL

up until Saturday, 25th June, I had 4, FOUR!, Sungkai Outing.

hahahah

the first one was with my beloved sister,

second was with Fiffy Faizah; dalam wayang and continue on di McD

third was with #GengKerasPlusOnePointFive

fourth, and hopefully, the last was with BBB:BBRC

the first two outing was not plan. it was last minute and spontaneous. 
the third was planned way before puasa (planned as in 'mesti sungkai out ni ah time puasa' kinda plan hahaha)

I missed this year sci2 Sungkai Out coz it clashes with GengKeras outing. 
this year sci2 was having Sungkai Out, IN. 
They had them at Edy's house, potluck-ing. Pictures were shared in our group chat but I only asked permission to post this one, coz it's mandatory.

It's not a sci2 gathering without these two posing like this.

I wana feel jelly for not being there but I was having too much laugh with Geng Keras that I don't. Still a little bit 'miss' feelings but
apa bleh buat, this year terClash. insyaAllah, time raya saja jumpa ;)

For some reason, this year I feel so calm. 
I thank my work load for that. 
having to handle so much with very short notice made me set my mind every morning with a chant that goes; 'Be calm. LillahiTa'ala, Just do it' and 
'Too many mind. No mind' this one from The Last Samurai *laugh out loud*
maksudnya, "jan luan dipikirkan, buat saja"

. . .

I am Me

whats Rajin in English?

coz I know Lazy like the back of my hand. and while I was searching for an old post, I found out that I never exaggerate my laziness. I really AM a lazy person! I really mentioned it so many times in so many post. my goodness!

anyway,
the last time I read was on 29th May with this book

the story line was refreshing.
The story was well layout and had me intrigued right from the beginning. 
The main characters were in their 30+ so I can relate a lot. 
I'm not 30 yet but I'm close to being 30.
I remember thinking, I want to read this kind of genre if the characters are in their 30+ only. 
hahaha kira, aku 'mature' sudah lah. inda bleh baca buku urg2 teens. *ketawa pasal rasa2han*

I should continue with the next book from the same author but I have not inspired enough to pick up the book to read.

currently, I spent so much time on my phone, browsing posts from FB and IG. mcm, addicition. *shudders* I need to do more outdoor activities, like, pasang lampung cucul, main bunga api, and feed otters (if ever I see one).

but I found this during as i laze around on my bed,




it's owned by Line.
aku download sal namanya, Egg.
*ketawa*

this app is similar to the famous snapchat selfy thingy.

I did something to it and now, I uninstall it. hahahah useless~~

lagi pun, I already have Camera360. similar berabis dengan Egg.
so, i didn't bother to download back the Egg.

Egg. Talo.

LOL

Nicky Byrne

Westlife days are over but my loyalty to my fav lad never ends!

Nicky Byrne released his album recently and aku baru download last Thursday.

THERE WERE VERY AWESOME SONGS!

WELL DONE NICO!

he deserved this solo.

Time Westlife, he wasn't given much chance to show his ability to sing.
You can read his protest over this issue during Allow Me To Be Frank album making in Westlife - Our Story book.

I posted once that I know he can be the awesome singer that he is if he was given equal number of solos during Westlife, just like how Taemin was given the chances in SHINee songs. if you curious which post, click here to reread that post xD


the part yg had me grinning so wide was the part cNicky sang something along the line 'thank you for mendangani liat bula sampai aher2' in one of the song (msani masih inda pasti which song pasal I listen the album once saja baru *ketawa*).

it was the sweetest thing! and for sure he was singing about his wife, Georgina!

My feels~~

macam time zaman Westlife

I miss them!

I'm so glad they are now releasing album of their own.

I haven't listen properly to any of Markus Feehily's songs/album. He's not so active on Twitter these days. (or aku yg jarang masuk Twitter dah masa ni xP)

anyway,
All the best to Nicky Byrne.
I'm sure your cheekiness, your charm when you sing will bring you far.
(whats Hwaiting in Irish?)

. . .

Remember this?

Remember this camera?

Remember when it was all the rage?
I never owned such device. I own the cheaper version of this.

LOL!

soon after this awesome release, people finally realized that what they need isn't a digicam. 

all people need to have is a handphone with a camera features.

#feeloldyet

#LOL

Kdrama

Continuing on from my appreciation post towards Free Video

I would like to share my new kdrama that I just downloaded to my phone

The Flower in Prison

I do not know whose in it by name. I do recognize a few faces from other historical kdrama; Dong Yi and Horse Doctor to name a few. but still have no idea who the lead characters are.

Also have no idea what the story's gonna be about but from the first two episodes, I am intrigue!

right now, this drama is up to episode 13.

I downloaded them from the one and only dramacool.to with Eng Sub!

I know from DOTS, that there are other website which provides new kdrama with eng sub too. tapi lupa ku namanya. dramacool saja yg ku ingat. hehe

I forgot how I come across this drama in the first place.

I know i found it while i was busy browsing for things to download using the Clip Converter. hahaha lain yg kan di download, lain yg ku jumpa. typical.

best accidentally came across moment ever!

I don't know when the next episode will be uploaded. I guess, I have to check dramacool often.

I am darn sleepy at the moment, I should probably sleep but being me, I need to search for website yg masih ada provide uploads for DongYi. coz I love DongYi. best kdrama E.VER!

. . .

big thanks to ...

Free Video app. dramacool.to and Clip Converter.

LOL

My bestie, Zawir, just recently introduced to me Clip Converter; an awesome website where you can download any video from your social media (but I havent try downloading any video from FB. I only downloaded a few from IG) including youtube. and I love this! now I can upload videos from IG for safe keeping! thanks bruh! 

I'm an iphone user. so, downloading video for free is IMPOSSIBLE! if it's not from the iTune Store.

story time~!

the first time I was able to download videos from youtube was when my old colleague introduced to me MIXTUBE (sebenarnya aku lupa apa nama app atu. tapi lurus kali lah namanya mixtube LOL) which is like heaven for me since I have a lot of SHINee videos to download and that app allows me to upload the videos further into my Camera Roll (thats the same as saved into my phone memory) but that short lived coz not long after I started using it, the App was 'shut down'.

I was Video-Uploader- App deprived for a very long time. 

I downloaded several more apps yg allows me to download youtube videos but it doesn't allow me to save them to my phone.

coz saving videos in my phone memory means, I can transfer them later on into my external disk using my lappy. so without the-saving-to-my-camera-roll thingy, its kinda pointless for me to have such app on my phone.

it was very frustrating moment of my life (dramatic. LOL)

AND THEN! a new colleague introduced to me this app! Free Video.

it was tricky to use at first but after you got the hang of it (with the help of awesome internet connection), IT'S THE BEST APP EVER! for someone that is not so tech savvy, like me lah ah. if you're some kind of tech engineer or Google is your bestfriend, maybe you wont be as excited as I am.

but after a while, downloading from youtube became a hassle. I think this app only works with awesome internet connection. So, I usually 'borrowed' my friends wifi to download 'important' videos from youtube. EVEN then, when I'm at their house, I conveniently lupa tia apa kn di download. like, what the actual what.

you know how 'we know what we want when the water runs dry' saying, right?

thats how it was.

So, in the end, i didn't even bother trying to download anything from youtube if I'm using my own internet.

it's frustrating.

BUT LUCKY I DIDN'T UNINSTALL IT!

coz my sister wanted to download it few months ago and couldn't find the App on app store.

and thanks to this App, I was able to watch DOTS (Descendant of the Sun) the same week as Korea.

of course, big thanks to dramacool.to for providing engsub episodes for me to download using Free Video app! 

I know I would be able to download them via laptop but that would mean I can only watch DOTS if i open my lappy.

So, Free Video app on my phone is a life saver!

I can download my DOTS while at work and watched it when i get home, in bed.

Basically saying, even if i just open dramacool/clipconverter on my phone browser and can click the 'download' button, it wont do shit unless I do it inside Free Video.
damn you apple with your 'legal' properties thingy! not everyone can afford itunes card! you piece of rotten tomato!

thus, big thanks to Free Video makers. you guys are awesome!

I tried youtube-ing once for app to use to download videos from youtube, I didn't bother finishing the tutorial coz it took too long and too much hassle for my lazy ass. hahaha

but by all means, don't go by me. If you are lot rajin-er than me, you should Google for a better App.

this is just what I prefer.

Luna씨

안녕

this post is like, a month old but that's an exaggeration.
xP

Luna's first mini album.

I have to admit, my initial reaction to Luna's first mini album being techno-ish is bad for promoting her vocal, is complete BS.
coz even from Free Somebody, her vocal just shown thru.
shows how you should never judge SM's better judgement. (aside from JYJ, Hangeng, Kris, Luhan, Tao cases)

anyhoo...
I've forgotten what song I like, besides Free Somebody, from this album.

hmm..

let me share one live performance video first:



isn't she perfection? *mata berLove2*

also, I just found out.
Luna was cast base on her dance skill rather than her singing skill.
I was so shocked when I found out about this.
Like,
are you sure?!
coz her voice is just ..bom! and she's the main lead vocalist in f(x).
are you sure??!!

but then, I'm over my shock and thought, 'no wonder her dancing was always on point' *nod nod in realization*

moving forward~

in her mini album, she has six songs and an equal balance of ballad and up beat songs.

I think I like her Galaxy song.



its almost the same sound as Free Somebody now that I listened to it again for the umptime.

but of course, her promotion was short lived as SM decided to release EXO new album soon after hers. like, we all know where everybody else is going when EXO made an appearance. BUT it was a good released for Luna while it last.

Well done, Luna-ssi! Good Job!

maybe next time SM would think about giving their other artist an equal amount of promoting period.

. . .

OMG!

I cannot believe what I just discovered:
Commeting on my blog had to be 'approved' or 'manually published'.
I found out when I saw on the 'Comment' key it says 'comment for moderation' and boy was i shock when i saw a lot of comment to be published.

No wonder I've not seen anyone comment in such a long time!
I thought I was getting a 'payback' - you know, since I seldom reply to people and now people lazy to leave down a comment for me coz I never reply them anyways.
LOL

Thank you to Jessica and Esma for leaving down comments all that time my setting was bonkers!

I've replied several of them but once I noticed there were a lot that I've missed, I'm thinking.. "WOW! you really messed up, Az" hahaha

my goodness.

I'm sorry once again guys. you guys rock!

I've fixed the setting and now I can see them comments both on the web and from my phone.

to reply real quick to Esma (alert: I don't know if i replied to this already on the actual time when you commented because this was from my post posted last year and I don't think my setting was bonkers yet at that time but since I see no reply, I'm replying to you now): the rainbow gelly pen that you asked me - that time when you asked, inda plang ada terjumpa at any kadai..but just recently, I found them bejual arah cube di Mall, the one di tingkat tiga, ampir cinema, the one yg ujung sekali ampir bakas kadai restaurant West Street. I hope this anwer your question. and IF sekiranya you already bali the pen, I AM SO SORRY FOR THIS LATE REPLY!

and to Jess, really, THANK YOU FOR BEING SO KIND WITH YOUR CHOICE OF WORDS WHEN YOU LEAVE A COMMENT! (i use caps coz I'm very sorry for the late replies LOL)

I don't know why, but I have this funny sense of relief after I found out about this.

I just keep saying 'No wonder' and laughed. haahaha

my goodness!

RIP Christina Grimmie

I know I never allow myself to post two posts on the same date but this one worth the mention

the video that started off my curiosity. and I became a fan of hers in an instant.



not the biggest of fan. No.
I'm just a fan of hers. I watched several more of her videoblog, even bought 2 of her songs when she released them on itunes (coz, really, I couldn't download any decent ones illegally). she wasn't sign to any record company back then.



and how proud I was when, one Saturday afternoon, I was lazying around in front of the TV and something on AXN caught my attention; The Voice, Blind Audition.
and I don't know how but Grimmie came on and I was just so proud that I actually know somebody from the internet. literally, I found her from youtube and now she's on some huge TV show, auditioning. I just knew she'd turn chairs.



I think her confidence on stage was due to the fact that she was already performing on stage before she auditioned. I forgot who but she was an opening act for some huge names; was it Demi Lovato or Selena Gomez? I don't have the energy to find the video where she mentioned this.

I think I started following her on Instagram after this (Apparently I was watching the Rerun of The Voice that time so by the time I followed her on IG, she was already third place)

I see, read or play her post but I don't 'heart' her post every single time.

So, the last post of hers that I properly read but did not heart was the one she hugged a dog and the post was about a charity.

in all honesty, I haven't heard her sing or watch her vlog in such a long time. i think the one where she mentioned she was an opening act for someone was the last of her video that I ever watched.
the only update I got from her was from her IG posts.

Poor thing. She was shot after her concert 11-Jun-2016. from what I've read, she was shot on her way to a meet and greet by a guy who after that shot himself in the head.

She was younger than me and to think I could die first.

I don't know her on personal level that I feel the need to make this post but I know of her for a while now and I'd be lying if I said I don't feel something about her passing.

I finally understand the sadness people feel towards artist passing, when Michael Jackson, Whitney Houston and just recently as well, Muhammad Ali passed away.

. . .

Selamat Berpuasa

Credit to respective owner.

I know, 5 days too late

BUTT

still puasa month, no?

It's been a hectic June for me that I become increasingly more lazier than usual to post 

or to do anything else for that matter.

LOL

I am looking forward to the Sungkai Outings that I'm gonna miss this year. 

coz I told myself that I'm gonna go to at least TWO sungkai outing this year for some personal reasons.

I hope nobody will take offence or take it too personal if I rejected their invites. 

I hope people realize that it's not them, it's me. FOR REAL.

that been said, I feel like eating lots of fried chicken for sungkai later.
