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.

Just so you know

Happy 3rd Year Anniversary iWaly™ :)

Well thats basically what I wanted to say for today's post.

Apart from that, here's Adam Lambert for all of you Glamberts out there. And oh Syuhada, you're no exception in this. lol

Its a personal favourite of mine. Its not his latest song though, neither if it is a hit in the music chart. But its fantabulous enough for me. Especially given the fact that it's actually Lady Gaga's song. Adam made a studio cover of it and included it in his album 'For Your Entertainment' last year. The song really suites him perfect (Y) If you give this song a listen, than you'll totally agree with me.

Something Colorful

So hows the new look working out for you guys?

I know its somewhat weird to see my blog in this colorful manner, since I've been keeping iWaly black and too formal for the previous months.

Its about time I put this blog in renovation. Thats why I'm taking this weekend to set a new template for this blog with the help of Blogger's new Template Designer. Its really simple as opposed to downloading templates from the internet like I usually do. And for a change, I'm throwing the old goth look away and replace it with a background that empowers a colorful friendly environment, simple thus less formal. But most of all, something totally different.

Whats with the change? Well most probably the fact that iWaly is on the verge of reaching it's 3rd Year Anniversary this coming Monday. Can you believe it? Its been 3 years! I'm not counting from when I first created this blog, I'm counting from the first ever post I've published in this blog. You can find it in in my post archive somewhere.

So anyway, its no big deal really. 3 years ain't that long. Just that, I like the idea that I've grew up 3 years older with this blog. And all the things that happened through out that period is posted in this very blog. So practically this blog is filled with personal memories. And I'm generous enough to share them with you people. nyehe :b I think I'm gonna keep blogging as long as I'm still alive. When I'm like 50 or something with a wish to reminisce upon my past, I can just browse my post archive to read and observe how much of a douche I was when I was younger. lol!

I've made quite a reputation with this blog. But I'm really sorry I can't keep you people entertained enough anymore because of the seldom updates. hehe. Oh yeah, I've also befriended a few bloggers whom I'm never met in my life before. Just like to say thank you for being friendly and still keeping in touch with me and my blog. And to my readers as well. Thanks!

Well uh, I guess this is all. I've already spent too much time decorating my blog. Now time for me to hit the hay. Ciao :)

The Gone Series

So heres a thing about this post, its gonna make me sound like a total geek! lol. I can't believe I'm turning into one of those book worms that only feed on the words of the book they're reading. Okay I'm exaggerating, so what! :)

Among all the books that I've read, here's a personal favourite of mine:-

I've posted a review about this book last year. You can search for it in my post archive. So far, I have to say this is the best book I have ever laid my readings on. It was so great, that I had a second read on it this year. I guess this book only has it's effect on certain teenagers who enjoys sci-fi and all those alike. But I don't think adults would enjoy it that much.

Why? Because in the book (and they quote); "In the blink of an eye; Everyone disappears. GONE. Except for the young, Teens, Middle schoolers, Toddlers. But not one single adult. No teachers, no cops, no doctors, no parents. Just as suddenly, there are no phones, no internet, no television. No way to get help. And no way to figure out what's happened"

I mean, how attention catching is that? But the story doesn't end in that book. Theres a second installment:-

Doesn't make much of a surprise that I've already read this one too. Last month. It was one of the six books that I bought form Uk this year. I gave one to ZqahMesli cause I know she's more of a bookworm than I am. HA! Okay so anyway, this sequel is no match comparing to the first one. But still it made it to my list of must-read-again books. lol.

The storyline of this book is relatively different from the first as it gets much more disturbing, breath taking and more blood spilling. I mean, all the kids have gone totally wild and nuts what with the fact that some of them developed some kind of power that you can actually relate to the characters from the tv series: Heroes. According to the author, the book was inspired by Heroes, Lost and Lord of the flies by Stephen King. If you have actually watched those stuff, you might get a clear picture of how the book is.

But still, as good as it gets, the story still hasn't ended after two series of books. Because theres a third installment:-

And oh maaan! I haven't gotten this one! It's the latest series, published last month!

I want it! No, I need it! The fact that Stephen King, one of the most known author, has written a review saying that he actually loves this book, made it much more of a temptation for me to buy it's third installment this very instance. I was thinking of ordering online from ebay or amazon or something. Because I have no doubt that you cannot find the book in Brunei's Best Eastern. I've tried searching for the first two series in local bookstores, no luck. I ended up buying from some other country instead. lol.

Oh yeah, the book has it's own trailer too. How awesomely cool is that?!:

Rumour has it that there's a fourth installment comming soon. It's called Plague. Can't wait :D

If you're ever interseted, just Google: The Gone Series and find a way to get it somehow. What? you think I was gonna say something like: "You can always borrow it from me?" Ofcourse not. HAA! Although I do have a few people waiting in line for me to lend them the books. Dream on people! lol. :p

Summer?

hellooooo holiday!

Oh god! Its been a hectic week, what with all the tensions and pressures of the mid-year exam. I have no doubt everyone at the point of still-schooling received their fair share of what I've just gone through. I'm telling you, this whole Year 10 syllabus is haaaard! although we've barely made it halfway. Now that its all over, atleast for this term, everyone especially moi' is relieved just to get our mind off those theories and calculations and just sit back, enjoy the holiday. And thank god our class doesn't have extra lessons over this holiday. Wohoo! :)

I haven't really planned anything to do though, its not like I've got one of those 1,001 things to do during this holiday, well other than watching my excessive collections of un-watched Dvds. ha! Or probably extending my guitar lesson via the internet or read my books (no not school books :p) Or maybe, the most important thing of all: Loosing my weight. Oh yeah, I'm also thinking of continuing my excerise at the bsrc gym, wow, been a whole month since I last did that. Hey, on second though, I do have alot of things to do. What do you know. lol. I was initially thinking of posting one of my book reviews today, but I found out I can't upload any pictures to my blog anymore. Why the heck is that? err. I'll try to see if I can fix that sooner or later.

So has anyone watched Glee ep. 20 yet? Well I have! :p It won't be in Starworld till another 2 weeks. But I'm telling ya, Glee was entertaining at it's best! The songs they covered in this episode are just awesome! Here's a clip:



oh, HAPPY HOLIDAYS EVERYBODYH!!
