Procrastination

If I am lacking post updates in this blog (like nowadays) it either means I have an exam and I have to be prepared or simply because

life is not treating me right!!!!!!

p/s: I wonder if Tumblr is any fun?

Plague by Michael Grant

This is the front cover picture of the Fourth installment of the Gone Series. Bound to be published next year! Guess I still have time to finish reading the Third Installment. I'm barely halfway through the book. Its A.W.E.S.O.M.E.!

All Around The World!

Here's a big shout out to all of my international visitors/readers!

-Because according to my blog's live activity feed, I have lots of em!-

HELLO YOU GUYS!

And oh! I've been meaning to say this! You can find me on Google at the first result (or most probably second -sometimes) if you Google: iWaly. Especially in web browsers such as Yahoo, Bing, Avant, etc. My blog will be on top of all other results regarding your search of iWaly. Anyway.. don't click on any websites that depicts that iWaly is a word short-formed for I Will Always Love You. HAHAHA, i know right! I recently realized that as well. :p

Oh Raya!

Okay to be honest, I'm just lazy to blog today. So I'm just gonna post some pictures from the previous days of raya, mostly from the first and the second day. These are just a few of the dozens from Facebook. Just check out my profile if you wanna see more.

This is the little family on me ma's side.

This on the other hand, is me pa's. See the difference in the number of people between the two pictures? lol.

Cousins.

More cousins. :p

With Ammar and Oshin.

UH. :b

HAAA! Lame~ but I still kinda like it.

Okay thats the end of it. Maybe I'll add some more if I'm not as lazy as today. No promises. lol.

Besuk Raya Kaliah!

The official announcement hasn't been made yet on RTB about when Raya would fall for this year. But I already know when. I've got my sources. And Its tomorrow, baby! Trust me. :P

:::::

Selamat Hari Raya to all.

And to all

Maaf Zahir Batin!

-Syafi Al Waly & Family

Enough said! Got a hellotta things to do before leaving for Grand's house at Kb tonight. I'm sure most of you guys are busy yourselves preparing for the festive day since I reckon most of you assumed raya would fall on Saturday. hah! Can't wait for the fireworks tonight.

Waly is out~

Inalillah

Inalillah Wa Ina Ilaihi Rajiun

A classmate of mine -but nonetheless a good friend- had passed away yesterday after a tragic car accident taken place somewhere in Seria. Her name is Amirah Nabilah binti Yussof. She was only 15 years old.

Let us all take a moment of silence to recite Al-Fatihah to her.

My condolences especially goes to her and her family.

_________________________________________________________

I was watching a dvd that late afternoon when I received a message on my phone from Dosh saying he heard rumors that Amirah had passed away. At first, ofcourse I didn't believe, though my heart was pounding oh so very fast.

So I went to check on Facebook -the only convinient source that allows me to communicate with my friends at such short notice- and was damn surprised to see people talking about her on hundreds of Wall Posts, yet not one of them was entirely sure about her passing away. My house happened to be situated just a stone throw away from her's and with a wireless phone in my hand, I quickly called Dosh as I literally ran to my backyard. Thankgod the signal was satisfying enough. I viewed her house from that distance and saw a lot of cars parked around it. That itself wasn't a good sign. Dosh believed likewise. I instead went back into my house when I should've gone to Amirah's at the first place, I don't know, at that point my brain was throbbing and my mind was totally bobbled. I can't think rationally.

After ending my call with Dosh, I then called Zqah Mesli. Both of us were literally shouting on both ends. Serious nutcase situation as Zqah was being Miss I-So-Don't-Believe-You. Atlast, my parents came back from god knows where and told me to get dressed up as they were about to bring me to Amirah's house. I was scared, although at that moment I had the feeling she was already gone. As we reached there, lots of people were gathering around outside and her dad who eventually came to greet us, had confirmed that Amirah had passed away and her body was still inside the house. That fact made my brain throb more, adding to that my hands were shaking. I almost had a nervous breakdown when her dad told us details about the accident.

-OMG I'll be back! I swear. I just realized that I have a dental appointment at Panaga (ergh time dakat raya jua lah)-

Okay I am back. Where was I? oh yeah. On second thought, I'm not gonna shed the details of her accident here for some reasons. Go fish somewhere else. Only this would suffice: The accident was critical and severe. Anyway, her dad said we can go inside to see Amirah. I insisted not to, for some reason that associates what that accident has done to Amirah. I just can't stand those kind of things, if y'know what I mean. I only stood at the doorway catching only a brief glimpse of her body, covered by a tarp. And that was the last I saw her.

Her mom, who was also involved in the accident is recovering in the Kb hospital ICU. Alhamdulillah.

Well Amirah, its been nice knowing you. You will uneasily be forgotten, I swear for you are such a good friend to me and many more. You always said keep smiling and keep shining, I will. And I will always keep that in mind. Goodbye Amirah. Semogo roh mu dicucuri dengan rahmat Allah dan disimpan disisi orang2 yang beriman. Amin Amin. :')

Unbelievable: Burn a Koran Day

Watch this video if you haven't!

I just knew about this from Facebook.

Wow, I don't know about you guys, but I think this guy went just a little too far. Not only is he promoting the international burning of the AlQuran day but he also authored this book called Islam is of the Devil. By the name of the book itself, we (especially muslims) find it offensive and provocative. And thats just the book cover, not yet the written contents inside the book.

He is a christian named Terry Jones. Obviously he hates our religion. Just because of the September 11th incident in USA which they believed is supposedly of islam's fault. I dare not to say anything foul about his religion for I acquire my utmost respect to it. But as for the man himself, I do like to stamp the words: Epic Fail on his forehead.

He said in the video that AlQuran is not a book of peace. But he and his community's attempt to burn the AlQuran is not gonna create much peace and serenity either. But rather hatred between the two involved religions. As a matter of fact, the Bible (likewise the AlQuran itself) allows the freedom of religion. So what Terry here is basically doing is standing against his own religious constitution. Enough said.

I'm glad to see that Terry's provocative attempt is not receiving much support from the people worldwide. But rather alot of foul responses and feedbacks especially from some of the christians themselves who, from various sources I picked out, believed that Terry is over-reacting and is making a fool of his religion, let alone himself.

The international burning of the AlQuran day is gonna take place on this 11th of September, just a few days from now. It also happens to be the festive Raya for all of us muslims worldwide.

I just can't stand the idea of us celebrating Raya but knowing that Terry and his followers around the world are burning the AlQuran on that very day.

Whats on Tv?

Tv, which comes second after the internet (for me, ofcourse) is something that I frequently indulge myself into ever since the start of the holiday. Although, I seldom put my attentions to astro nowadays since: A) Everyday tv must be tuned to Disney Channel (worse yet -Playhouse Disney) for my rather demanding 5 Year Old sister. B) Dad installed a Prabola in the house. HEHEHE.

I have to admit, at first I was being a downright skeptic as to why dad insisted on subscribing for a Prabola, which is just full of indonesian programs, channels and particularly dramas. Ofcourse, that was me being a stereotype. However, it didn't take me long to fell into the charms of indonesian media. Seriously. I am a daily home audience now and you should see me weeping (just kidding :p) if I ever miss an episode of my favorite tv serires. lol. One of them is Arti Sahabat:

I really like the whole idea of the show: Its based on a group of high-school friends who obtained a tight relationship among themselves, some of them even fell in love with one another. But then came a new guy and the crew of friends befriended him and gradually the crew broke up against one another for some reason that has something to do with the new guy. Then some of my fave characters are up to solve the problem and gather back the friends but uh, okay I'll stop here. Trust me I can go on and on about the storyline, but realizing that I may already possibly bore you to death with what I've just written, I rather not. hahaha.

Anywaaay, heres something slightly apart from that.

To all of you Avatar: The Last Airbender fans out there, I'm sure you've acknowledged that there is *another animated Tv Series about the continuity of the Avatar story. What I meant by that is not about Aang and his friends anymore but rather a new Avatar, the one after Aang, her name is Korra and she is a waterbender.

**The creators of this upcoming Tv series are of the same guys who created Avatar: TLA. But as opposed to making the fourth season of that series, they decided to create a new one, a new series. With new plots, characters and sensation. In other words, its relatively different comparing to Avatar: TLA. And is bound to premiere next year.

Heres the only picture that associates that new show. I wish they'd give something more specific than this. Curiosity is especially killing me! lol.

Hello

I'm back. I might not seem very active with my post updates, obviously, but I'm logged onto my blog almost everyday doing the littlest things that you might not come to realize in the blog, for example, I've removed some links of certain bloggers that have deleted (no, not inactivated) their blog or having a private blog, but not making me an invited reader. HAHA. seriously. I've also come to realize that some great-read blogs are lacking updates since last year. Why oh whhhhyyy? lol. I should ask myself the same question months ago when I was lacking updates myself. :p

And just as I was reactivating my blog, Syuhada on the other hand, is deactivating her's. hmm.

Apart from that, I came across this poster at Rano:

I feel like participating in the Secondary School Category, topic: Making Brunei Cleaner & Greener. I mean how easy can that possibly not be? I've also obtained some more informations about the competition: and the winner of writing the best essay would receive $500, an Acer Notebook Laptop, get their essay published in Brunei Times and surprisingly even more! What a great deal.

And I wonder if I can participate in the Open Category as well? The topic is a little challenging though, but since I'm a competitor -natural somewhat (:b) Why the heck not? hehehe. I'll see.

Its Here, Finally!

Hello again everybodyh. I promised you before that I'd give updates, so heres one of them:

My book has finally arrived! WOHOOOOOOOO. Thanks alot to my dearest friend Zqah Mesli. I asked her to order it online and it came just 3 weeks later. Ofcourse I have to pay her, $36 just for the book itself needless to say. However I've only paid half of the money. hehe. I'll pay the rest of my debts soon Zqah. :D I'd asked mom and dad to order it for me, but they said their Amazon card expired or something. And searching for this book in local bookstores is not an option. Good luck finding it if you will. lol. Anyway, y'wanna know more about the book? Clickhere. I made a post about it just a few months ago.

I haven't started reading the book though. Even though I am utterly eager to do so, just that at the moment I haven't finished reading my copy of The Devil Wears Prada and this other book. So if I started my readings on Lies right now, it'll totally dwarfed the other two books and I will totally lost interest on them. This kind of situation happens all the time with me, which would explain my vast collection of semi-finished reading books. haha.

You know what else arrived at the same day as the book? My first ever contact lenses. lol. I ordered it from an agent via another friend of mine. The contacts were imported directly from Korea. Its just like one of those yellow Edward Cullen contacts, but a little more brownish. Anyway my friends forced me to use them on that very first day it arrives (which was at school) and coincidentally we were gonna get our class photo taken that time. So the fact that I am totally inexperienced with contact lenses, let alone wearing them, is not a good omen for me to use it that very day. But with the help of my friends who after a thousand and one attempts managed to literally put both contacts into my eyes which unfortunately made me end up looking like a rather sadist vampire for my 2010 class photo. HAHAHA.

End.

I'll be back! :)

Here We Go Again

Hello civilized people.

I am baaaaaaaaaaacck! :D

And I brought with me a new change in my blog. I know, I know, 3 months ago I fulfilled my wish of flourishing this blog with colorful attempts here and there just to indicate that my blog is going for a new change. But I just realized recently that colors and stars are so.. so not me y'know. Thats why I'm sticking with my traditionally formal and systematic kind of look. It rocks |m|

Anyway, hows the whole Panorama Of My PreAdult Mindset working out for you guys? lol. Lemme give you a brief vocabulary lesson: Panorama = A very clear picture. PreAdult = Life prior to adulthood. Mindset = Identity, character, ascpect. So basically Panorama Of My PreAdult Mindset is just another complicated way of saying A clear picture of my teenage personality. Not bad eh for my first attempt? lol. And don't you just love the word Panorama? I can say it over and over again and never feel bored cause I'm in love with it! haha.

And oh SELAMAT BERPUASA EVERYOOOOONE!! Although we're only a few days away from Raya. :b

I'll be back with more updates in my next post.
