Sorority Row

I have noticed this movie posters since i first came to UK. quite attractive but not attractive enough to pull me to cinema. however, 5 months later finally got the interest again to watch this. no wonder i havent heard the ads spread widely before, there are just so many topless scenes.

my review? hmm it wasnt bad i can say. but not too good either. i will give 3.5 over 5 though.

basically a story of university life went wrong. in the USA u could always find sorority and fraternity (for guys) clubs in universities and colleges and they sometimes do have their own houses and live together. in this story, a group of sorority girls made a prank to teach a lesson to a guy who used to cheat to one of their sisters. However, the prank turned out to be a real accident and it cost them one of their sisters life. They made a deal not to reveal the secret to anyone. Everything went out just fine until graduation day when everyone who was related to the case died one by one. Did the dead sister came back to life and seek revenge or this is just a sick joke made by one of them?

i guess if u are interested u dont want me to tell you the whole story but i can always narrate it here in case if u are not interested. anyway, enjoy the movie!

wednesday

there is one post i had kept delaying to post on here n now i had deleted that post. its all because of one word. i was stuck with one word and cannot continue to write anything because of it

anyway. i am writing this on wednesday night. it was quite a day i could say. so many things had happened in just one day, i almostly lost count of all the events. yeah that is why i put wednesday as a title for this post

start from the morning in tutorial class. once again my tutor had some difficulty to pronounce my name in his first attempt. and once again i had to correct him to pronounce my name properly.



hate it

not because of no one in here know how to pronounce mohd as mohamad but the fact that my name itself is written as mohd.

"mode? mod? mohed?"

"its mohamad, sir" with a little bit of smile

i know this may sound so bad and ungrateful whatsoever but i hate it that my name is written in that way. i wonder who's idea was that in the first place to abbreviate mohamad into just mohd. i blame him/her for his/her laziness to spell the name mohamad properly. n now, it becomes usual or i could say a custom for malaysians to see mohd as mohamad. and for 20 years of my life i already get costumised to it until i went here. i do agree with the people here, i dont see mohd as mohamad. mohd just reminds me of statistics





oh forget about that stupid name

this week is islamic awareness week organised by bristol islamic society. i am volunteering especially in distributing fliers to public. not a fun job especially when now the temperature is dropping below 0 again. my fingers got numb by standing in open air for only 30 minutes. and i am not good with rejection. u know, some people do reject not to take the fliers.

interestingly, in the same week, the christian society also organised christian awareness week. i remembered in our first week during the clubs and societies fair, the islamic society booth was set up right across the jews booth. irony isnt it? i dont know, was it just me looking at it in different way or that it does seems a little 'weird'?

talking about giving out fliers, i was on a sideway giving people fliers when i saw this around 40-50 years old guy standing with his hand supported him on pole. oh yeah, he was actually just in front of me. i noticed that his legs seem like tired or something that i thought he would collapse in any minute. looking at him, he looked like people who tried to sleep standing. so i approached him and asked if he was ok. dont quite catch the answer but then i offered him to have a seat on a stair. but right after i took him to sit, he suddenly fell down and trembling very hard and said " call an ambulance, please,"



wtf......

oh my God, in that emergency situation, i swore i was confuse with which number should i dial. was it 911 or 999? this is so reckless. and it was very pathetic, i spent like 5 minutes trying to send a message to the lady on the phone about the situation. mainly because i couldnt catch up with what she said. my listening skills is always at it's terrible in the worst situation ever. finally, i gave up and passed my handphone to a guy and let him explain the situation to 999.

i was very grateful i didnt wear any nametag showing that i am a MEDICINE student at that time. not that i have one anyway. i watched the scene in horror with no idea what to do. that was very shameful that a medicine student cannot do anything in a medical emergency. to be honest, i dont even know what happened to that guy. is he fainting or something? and what with that trembling? if anyone asked is there anyone knows some medical knowledge at that time, i'll backed down quietly and moved away from the crowd as fast as i could. i was very disappointed with myself at that moment.

about an hour after that, that guy came back from hospital and he thanked me. well yeah, i dont know what he thanked for, because i didnt do anything except for quarreling with the nurse on phone. not to mentioned that i was the one who suggested him to sit which would probably be the reason why he collapsed. but im still glad that he was alright and didnt die or something due to my slow action

but not everything was bad today. when i was in Wills Memorial Building, sorting out the fliers, a non muslim came looking at pamphlets and books about Islam. he seems very interested to know about Islam and he took most of the pamphlets of the table. i insisted him to take a translation of Quran as well but he said he wont read it, it would be a waste on him. oh yeah, i was quite disappointed with myself as well at that time for not being more insistent, the translation was free anyway. it would be more wasteful if no one wants to take it. plus we got like tonnes of it, look like we can distribute it to almost every students in UOB.

but one sentence from him makes me very happy today. he said "i always knew there is something different about Islam, and I want to know about it,". once again, i successfully managed to prove myself unhelpful. i mean i could take the opportunity to give da'wah to him. i always wanted to do that, at least trigger one people to revert to Islam. well, it was not on my power anyway to make he 'sees', only God can make it. i do hope that he will revert one day.

with his words in my mind, i was very determined after that to distribute all the fliers i got in my hands and finished it off. yeah, it was a lot, but i managed to do it. i want to contribute something in this da'wah process. insyaAllah...

org kampung saya

post ni sepatutnye saye buat sabtu lepas. tp disebabkan sibuk, baru ade mase nak publish post skrg. oh skrg semue assignmant dah siap. bahagienye hidup!!

waktu subuh sabtu, saya berskype dgan family saya di msia. oh waktu bgun tido memg x begitu bgus nak berkomunikasi. masih lg ngantuk + mamai + otak x mengalir dgan lancar. jd x brape bnyk pun y sempat kami bualkan

saya ni org kampung. sungguh, walopun dok kat pasir gudang, jb, tmpt tgal saye ialah kampung saje. tp kampung saye ni x lah mcm kmpg y slalu kite tgok kat tv tuh, jalan raya muat satu kerete je n hutan sekeliling rumah. kat kampung saya ni, rumah padat padat,ade bnyk kedai runcit, siap ade laundry service n cyber cafe lg.

tp mentaliti org kpg masih lg kuat. kalo waktu majlis kahwin kat kpg akan ade rewang, majlis bacaan tahlil n yaasin kat rumah pun maseh lg ade walaupun saya dah jarg pergi. kenduri kendara bile nak meraikan sesuatu pun masih biase diadakan




termasuklah aktiviti santau menyantau

mak saye bgtau saye ade seorg kenalan saye ni kene santau dek org. kesian die x bole berdiri. katenye bile berdiri kakinye terketar ketar. dah jumpe doktor, tp doktor kate die ni sihat je. jd die pergi jumpe bomoh. die ni tue setahun dr saye dan saye x brape pasti y kami ade pertalian keluarge ke x. mcm ade, tp agak jauh rasenye. tu lah masalahnye, keluarge sendiri pun x kenal

mase saya kat msia tahun lepas pun ade dgar crite gak seorg budak lelaki sebaya dgan adik saye kene santau ni. kabornye, ade org nak sihir emaknye tp terkena anaknye. lepas kene santau tu, org kate, budak tu nampak mcm katak. kulit bergerutu, perut buncit, mulut berbuih buih. kesian die. x tau r dah sihat ke belum


tu lah teruknye org y berhasad dengki. maen taktik kotor. diorg dah lupe ke y dunia ni hanya sementara saje? bile hasad dah membawa diri, org laen sume dah x ingt dah. cume ingt diri die sorg je. kepada sesiapa y mengamalkan bende bende ni, bawak bertaubat r. maen ngan sihir ni memesongkan aqidah. berdosa besar. x takut api neraka ke? nauzubillah min zalik


jd bersama sama lah kita tolg doakan kenalan saye ni (atau mungkin sedare, y pasti sedare seIslam), semoga die cepat sembuh dan santau santau ni x bnyk memudaratkan diri die. insyaAllah

ohh this term wind orch will be so cool!

-suite francaise by darius milhaud movement 1,4 and 5
-pirates of the caribbean (another one song from movie n i really want to play pirates of the caribbean in orchestra before. seem like my wish comes true. hmm when do i hv the chance to play persis in orchestra?)
-africa: ceremony, song and ritual (as the name suggests, a song that reminds u of being in africa. n there are parts in the song when we hv to chant and even scream. terpekik terlolong mase tgah maen lagu, hah x penah dilihat lg kat wind o sbp. mase practice td kitorg menjerit sakan sampai terlupe nak tiup instrument balek, note:kene menjerit selama 6 bar with 12/8 time signature)

last time i couldnt attend the performance because the performance was held on friday, during friday prayer. but this time, its going to be on saturday. and i will make sure ill clear the day and turn up for the performance. even if i have to crawl to the stage.

last time the limelight for the performance was selections from chicago, but now they take the africa song as the focus song. so, shout with all ur might! oh yeah, they actually put an exclamation mark on the score at the part we have to scream. so, double ur might!!

n with this i include some of the songs that we r going to play. enjoy!

New term, new adventure, new problem

Hey y'all

Its me again, Syafiq! trying to make an opening like a blonde girl

i just finished writing a horrible 600 words essay. and it took me the whole day. and since i am still in the mood to write something so i decided to put a new post in my blog. writing a 600 words essay itself was not so hard. the hardest part was reading 22 pages of ethics articles and then summarised them. repeat again ethics articles. oh my God, it was totally tormenting. i coulndt understand every word in the articles even though i read it over and over again. it was like the articles were written in other language, oh they are actually, written in philosophy language.



whatever it is, im done now. yay for me!


3 more 600 essays to go. down. damn it. i got a really bad headache by forcing my brain doing something it unusally does. thinking how to create a bombastic introduction and make a fantastic ending in essay. and my essay just now, it was like only 30% made from my own sentences, the rest were duplication from the articles. huh i dont care. im happy now the job is done. dont even care if i received the essay back with plagiarism stamped on it.




hmm yeah, this term comes with new adventure i guess. it becomes more adventure really. last term, i got the whole tuesday free. this term, no more 3 days weekends.

i have gp attachment this term. in a group with 3 other mat sallehs. hmm good good. totally looking for chances to befriend with some of them and talk about life. not!!!

it was like every conversation they had seem to revolve around drinking like " hey, i was drunk last night and i....," and then "we got drunk and....", and "he got drunk and he slept on my bed" and "when do u get drunk that time..." and "i still feel drunk". and it was like totally annoying

gosh is there anything u do other than being drunk?

and anatomy session last week was so stressful. like totally stressful. i didnt do the pre reading like i usually did in last term and i came into the anatomy session like totally blank. i was like so tired of being in the d.s.e. room for 3 hours i went to sleep straight away after i finished my class.

speaking of sleep, i probably better hop on my bed now. i am totally sleepy now and tomorrow i still got class early in ther morning. yeah, when i said early in the morning now, it really means like immediately after subuh because for now subuh ended up like at 8.30 a.m. and it is literally freezing cold in here because temperature is constantly below zero degree.


bye now y'all. c ya later next time. xoxo

drama new year

it comes and it goes as always

n now it comes again, new year eve. the moment where people start planning and thinking their new 'azam'. some people might satisfied with what they had accomplished last year and come up with new aim, some just recycle last year unfinished business and for some other like me just couldnt care less with all this 'azam' thing. ohh new year is not really my favourite celebration of the year anyway. i used to hate it when i was in school because it reminded me of going back to school while i was so busy finishing a lot of games one after another during the december holidays.

i still dont like new year though....


i dont really remember new year celebration in malaysia. do u think i care enough to join n gather in the middle of the night at padang kampung n start counting down until 12.00 o' clock?

nway right at 12.00 at night today, i was on my way to have supper until suddenly i heard noise from outside. fireworks sound. and so i rushed and took my jacket n ran outside just to see the fireworks display. i was a bit disappointed because by the time i was there to watch it, there is no more fireworks to see. but what i saw along the way to see fireworks was much more interesting actually.


so much drama...

ok i might occasionally hv to switch to bm now, so that i can tell the story with humour. i dont think my english is good enough to make the story funny.

*****

i was strolling down a quite small street with lots of people around. n then i noticed a couple of ladies with their short skirt n heavy make up n were talking in a language that i dont know. suddenly a guy in stripy blue white shirt came, grab one of the lady's arm and tease them.

man: what is ur name?
woman 1: get off me, dont touch me!
man: i just want to know ur name!
woman 1: go away!
man: oh, f**k u!
woman: u go f**k urself

i was literally walking beside them when the scene happened. n then i stood about 5 metres ahead them in an open area where the drama can be watched publicly by everyone walked at that area. i was flipping whether or not to help the ladies. and then i imagined myself wrestled with that guy on that street. ok not something i want to end up with.

but when i glanced behind 5 seconds later, everything went out fine. the guy was now walking on the street holding hands with the ladies on his side and shouted "i got 2 new girlfriends tonight!". ookey, so they do know how to deal with it. i thought the drama could go on until tomorrow.

n then i decided to enjoy some more drama around Bristol city. ohh it was more exciting that watching skins.

-i saw people making out almost at every street. hmm something u definitely cannot see in malaysia
-gay making out openly. hah take that!
-two ladies in bright n tight dress (dont they feel cold? it was 2 degrees for God's sake) who were either too high or too drunk wishing happy new year to everyone on street. they wished me " happy new year chikostick!" whatever that means
-a guy with blood spattered on his arm. he might had accidentally smashed a beer bottle on his arm
-a drunk dude hugged me and wished me happy new year. yeah i can smell alcohol in his breath. well, not everyday u have the chance to hug a stranger.
-people walked staggeringly and made me worried. would they be ok? they looked like they can be hit by a car at any time.
-a street performance! people juggling fire
-n yeah, so many weird costumes around.

but not everything was that bad. if u stop a second n look around carefully (bace gaya mary alice), u could see there are people with kind heart who still have the spirit to help others in trouble.
-u could see two boys spares some change to a homeless down the street
-and a guy offering his help to a drunk stranger walking on stairs so he wont fall down
-and a lady who was drunk but still kind enough to help a homeless had a good night for new year's eve

i supposed mary alice scripts always have its' ending where she finishes off the episode with suspense. i just dont have any idea to make that T_T...



huh i avoided using bm after all. nway happy new year to whoever celebrating it.
