Okay I haven't blogged in an exceedingly long time, and now is as good a time as any to start again, seeing as I have nothing better to do than rot at home, whiling away my time doing seemingly unnecessary things but that I know, in my heart of hearts, will improve my overall well being in the long run.
Ya right.
Anyway, I just read an article about how peacekeepers, mostly from UN, have been sexually abusing children in exchange for basic goods such as food, money and soap.
Talk about the abuse of a privilege given to you to help those in need. I mean, why even partake in such charitable activities if you're gonna accompany them with acts of humiliation and moral degradation? I cannot even begin to fathom how anyone would have the heart to trick these starved people into thinking that they need to perform sexual services in exchange for basic necessities. What would possess these 'peacekeepers' into doing such things? Are they sex-deprived? In need of a power trip to boost their Jupiter-sized egoes? Whatever the reason, these UN aid workers need help of their own.
And with this, I would like to end my post with a quote,
"Charity accompanied by insult and injury is worse than no charity at all."

Yay more persnality testss! I like!sakina, your love personality type is ISFJ
About 7% of the U.S. population possesses the combination of traits that make up this personality type.Being an ISFJ, you can be the ultimate team player. This may be largely due to the deep and abiding loyalty you tend to exhibit toward the important people in your life. It can also be a result of the typical ISFJ philosophy that puts the needs of the group before your own desires. The bonds you share with people can run deep, so even those you don't see very often may be considered dear friends. Chances are, your loyalty and caring toward others is duly noted. It's no surprise that people naturally gravitate to such a warm spirit.In relationships, you appear to use both your head and your heart. It can pain you to see those close to you unhappy and you'll often go out of your way to take care of others. However in your case, being caring doesn't necessarily mean being gushy or overly sentimental. More often, you believe that your actions will simply speak for themselves.Yes yes, I so agree...especially with the last part. Haha. :DWho's Your Type?
Your type is the Artiste
Creative. Sensitive. A bit offbeat. Your type is the Artiste, a unique guywho knows how to express himself in many ways, whether it's through words,music, or attire. You're attracted to his unconventional ways and hisremarkable talents. He doesn't feel compelled to abide by society's norms.He believes that individuality is the key to happiness, and everything hedoes is a reflection of his "inner self." You fall head-over-heels for suchconfidence and style. Whether he's playing a song he wrote for just you orwriting you a love letter, this guy knows how to make you feel special. He'sin touch with his feminine side and doesn't need to assert his masculinityto feel manly. If we were to paint a picture of your future, the Artistewould definitely be part of it!Sakina, your lips say you've got Understated Charm
Whether you're delivering a sweet smooch or a well-chosen compliment, a kind and centered sweetie like you uses your lips to show how much you care. You're a great listener who's got a knack for knowing what — and what not — to say.Subtle and down-to-earth, you're not totally consumed by fussy fashions or high-maintenance beauty routines. We'd bet you're most comfortable in simple styles that let your genuine self shine through. Seems just right for a go-with-the-flow gal like you! Sakina, you're most like Seinfeld
"Yadda yadda yadda." From soup to smelly cars, this classic show turned everyday things into gut-splitting moments. Like Seinfeld, you see the world in your own unique and sometimes cynical way. For something to really strike your funny bone, it should have a slightly ironic flavor or at least be a bit offbeat.Perceptive and smart, you know real life truly is stranger than fiction. Friends love to hear your clever observations and appreciate your ability to turn even the dullest of moments into a laugh-track worthy experience. And that — like a Festivus for the rest of us — is certainly something to celebrate! Sakina, a Romantic Gesture turns you on
Hey there, sweet thing! In affairs of the heart, your pulse pounds at the tender and enchanting moments. While you may not have it all mapped out just yet, the fairytale ending is what you're after and romantic gestures are a sure way to give you butterflies.It might be sweet notes, a bubble bath for two, a surprise getaway to your favorite B&B, or even just an extra spin around the block listening to your favorite love song. Whatever it is, romantic moments (and the thoughts behind them) turn you on. Sure, brains are important, a sense of humor is attractive, and you never said there was anything wrong with sexy underthings, but it's how your partner expresses their feelings for you that really lights your fire. How romantic! Ok la, enough for tonight. Goodnight! :)

I just had this really absurd dream where different aspects of my life were interwoven into one long, connected dream.
Firstly I was at madrasah (but the location looked like some LT at tjc) and for some reason Amal was there too. I was about to leave and she salam-ed me and there was a momentary flurry of doubt over this because she couldn't decide which way to do it and I told her it didnt matter. Then when I exited the place, to my utter surprise I looked down and found that I was wearing shorts and a top, with slippers! At madrasah, too! But for some reason in the dream this seemed to be a perfectly normal thing and my mom came to fetch me. She then made some comment on how short my shorts were and blah blah blah and as usual I tried to stop her nagging by animatedly changing the subject.
Ok then I'm not sure how, but the next minute I was in school. In school (which was supposed to be tjc) but the grounds didn't look like tj at all. Anyway the whole class was 33/06 and my civics tutor was Mr Hasim but everyone around in other classes were from Crescent! I was like wth's going on here? And then you know what I realised? I was wearing a tudung! I dunno why but I was like wearing home clothes with a tudung in school. Omg talk about reversal huh? Then later on shereen told me that I had brought the wrong text for Miss Azlin's lit lesson! And Miss Azlin is my secondary school lit teacher! So off shereen, soefie and me went for lessons and for some reason the school and this like shopping centre was interconnected. We had some trouble weaving through the shops before we finally got to class.
I can't remember how the dream ended. But the absurd, ridiculous details were enough to leave me weirded out when I woke up. Goodness. Ok I'll talk about yesterday's party later. Gonna have mee siam for breakfast. Hmmm. Later!

Well, they say you have to lose the battle to win the war.
So that's gonna be my theory for the JCTs.
I mean, if you do well in your JCTs, that would mean you'd peak in your prelims, and then from the peak the only way you can go is down.
Now we wouldn't want that to happen would we?
Ok ok, fine I guess its just a credible way of comforting myself.
But I really do believe in the theory that sitting for a major exam is like a marathon and you have to pace yourself for when you finally reach the end.
Anyway, chilling at Fish n Co. and Amitha's place after lit paper on thursday was immensely stress-relieving.
Oh my god I totally didn't expect it but Zoolander was hilarious! Rishik laughed till he fell off his seat (and I mean this literally).
The movie is basically a parody on male models with the Starsky and Hutch duo as the main stars. I had no idea that Ben Stiller could look so good, I mean they actually made him look like a model! I think its all the make-up plus the fact that I usually overlook his nice features due to his dramatic comedy roles.
This is a 5 star recommendation for a comedy movie...and I'm not that easily tickled!
Or at least my brand of humour is quite elitist. The second half of Borat made me wince and cringe at how disdainful it all was.
Then yesterday was spent shopping with Shereen, Sabby and Kenneth. Shereen and Sabby were quite weirded out by the idea that nef was joining us at first but when he came along we kinda became like his psycho moms trying to get him some decent shirts to wear.
And i bought 3 new tops! Seriously, that's a record for me cos when I go shopping with the girls I usually end up not buying anything or like the last time, just buying one pair of panties (which cost me a grand total of $1).
So yeah I was feeling blissfully happy after yesterday's bout of shopping, tiring though it was. Kenenth's constant whining was a testament to how shopping can be a sport. =P
And when I came home I watched the second dvd i rented from video ezy on thursday, She's the Man! It's really funny, I loved it! Amanda Bynes is SO bad at being a man but that's what makes it so entertaining really. And Channing Tatum is amazingly HOT! Drools~~~.
Okay now I am going to indulge myself in the pleasure of downloading new songs, before I go off for a 4th of July party tonight ( Don't ask me why its being celebrated today).
Tata!

You know you've become a geek/loser when:
1) You suddenly realise you have nothing to do when you decide to leave aside school work and anything else related to school
2) You stay up to the late hours of the night staring at the wall because you've already napped in the afternoon and can't fall asleep
3) You actually look forward to school even though you know you have nothing to do in that god-forsaken place the next day
Yes, these are a few revelations that overcame me today. Its finally gonna be the end of term, and today's the one day I got to go home early with no plans and agenda in mind to do any work of any sort because I thought I deserved a day off.
Well, that was certainly what I got but with unexpected repercussions of having felt like I've watched too much tv (2 whole hours...like come on, i used to do 4,5 hours...), bummed around aimlessly and ate too much junk. Well ok the last one isn't true. I've only eaten four squares of dark chocolate today and drank some banana milk. That isn't that much junk is it? Yeah, well, I'm not Shereen so no it isn't. Basically I just feel terribly unproductive. I keep thinking about the JCTs. Its so freaky. I can't even give myself a proper break without going into the hives over schoolwork.
So no, I've not truly metamorphed into a loser/geek yet but I can foresee a new me in term 3 where i will lose all sense of coolness. Haha. Coolness. Is that even a word?
I guess its all worth it for the sake of the big A's. The BIG A's. RAH. Just had to go and remind myself. Ok gonna go and download songs now. Guuutttt byeeee.

In light of recent events, and seeing as this blog is in no way private (though i've left it abandoned and desolate for so long no one probably bothers to check anymore), I think some of the songs in Avril Lavigne's first album pretty much adds up what I'm feeling. I know this is really unexpectedly random and emo but I can't help it. I've been experiencing a kind of turmoil of emotions over the past few weeks and just when I thought things were fine again, they kind of hit you right back in the face, leaving you dastardly confused.
Confused, confusion, confused. My word of the day.
I wish I had never let things escalate up to the point it has reached now, where everything has become a little complicated. And I can't deal with it. Not with everything else that's going on.
"Complicated"
Uh huh, life's like this
Uh huh, uh huh, that's the way it is
Cause life's like this
Uh huh, uh huh that's the way it is
Chill out whatcha yelling' for?
Laid back it's all been done before
And if you could only let it be you will see
I like you the way you are
When we're drivin' in your car
and you're talking to me one on one but you've become
Somebody else round everyone else
You're watching your back like you can't relax
You're tryin' to be cool you look like a fool to me
Tell me
Why do you have to go and make things so complicated?
I see the way you're acting like you're somebody else gets me frustrated
Life's like this you
And you fall and you crawl and you break and you take what you get and you turn it into honesty
and promise me I'm never gonna find you fake it
no no no
Ok the rest of the song is basically repetitive and the chorus is all that's relevant anyway. La la la.
"Tomorrow"
And I wanna believe you,
When you tell me that it'll be ok,
Ya I try to believe you,
But I don't
When you say that it's gonna be,
It always turns out to be a different way,
I try to believe you,
Not today, today, today, today, today...
[Chorus:]I don't know how I'll feel,
tomorrow, tomorrow,
I don't know what to say,
tomorrow, tomorrow
Is a different day
It's always been up to you,
It's turning around,
It's up to me,
I'm gonna do what I have to do,
just don't
Gimme a little time,
Leave me alone a little while,
Maybe it's not too late,
not today, today, today, today, today...
[Chorus]
LOVE ME;
