BioBlitz Volunteering

salam and hi~

last saturday i went for my very first volunteering..... it was an event held at Hamsbrook Marshes, outskirt of Canterbury where we identifying species of plants and insects (something to do with the biodiversity)

i volunteered myself to photograph during the event.. me and fasieyhah indirectly wanted to improve our skills in photography so we went for bird-watching with another two volunteers.. it was pleasant to be part of the nature; watch the birds fly, the plants wavering due to the windy day and insects where we never seem to bother before.

it was a great experience~
subhanallah, Allah has created such wonderful species that fill the land of His creation... calm, peaceful and such grateful feeling l had when i was there, walking and breathing the fresh air... :P

i've even made my very first video attempt about this event.. a collection of pictures that amused me till now... enjoy~

its cold out here!

currently at 12.44 in the morning, the fire alarm AGAIN rings its melody... and it awakes me from my beauty sleep.. with the temperature of about 6 celcius, it is challenging to stay outside with our thin-layered pyjamas waiting for the officer and switch off the alarm...

semua pun menggigil2 kesejukan... sabar je laa...

choosing

choosing is part of life
making decision is more precise
but to choose a decision
will make you wise

two different things
one is differ to another

to choose the right one
will make me think

of being analytical
or being critical
to see based on observation
to hold on true facts
will it be the founsation of thinking?

to accept the one we've chosen
is another thing
so we won't regret
because the one
will change the whole lot of you

we

being strangers
we feel lonely
no family to support
only friends by our side

with them
we feel safe
we feel secure
we feel like home
like brothers and sisters

the bond
is growing slowly
and will be stronger
we set up the community
and fills in between
so there's no gap
no hole or leak

p/s: terharu tengok budak2 ni buat derma nak tolong member beli equipment untuk notts games nanti :P

of diary and buku conteng2

"do you have a diary?"

" no we don't"

looking ackward, he continues...

"that's pretty bad.. i thought i want you to take down some notes for our replacements...."

"oooOOOOOOO!!" all at once and all burst into laughter..


p/s: ala2 camni laaa dialog tu... maap xberapa nak ingat..


kadang-kadang, perbezaan terms2 yang kita guna sama sekali tak sama dengan mereka..
kitorang punye la pulun ingat diari yang dok terperam segale rahsia feeling2 kite, rupenye dia nak kitorang masukkan tarikh untuk kelas ganti nanti.... adei2.. kami pakai buku conteng-conteng je... xmampu nak beli diari... :P

Dionne Warwick - That's What Friends are For

And I never thought I'd feel this way
And as far as I'm concerned
I'm glad I got the chance to say
That I do believe I love you

And if I should ever go away
Well, then close your eyes and try to feel
The way we do today
And then if you can remember

Keep smilin', keep shinin'
Knowin' you can always count on me, for sure
That's what friends are for
For good times and bad times
I'll be on your side forever more
That's what friends are for

Well, you came and opened me
And now there's so much more I see
And so by the way I thank you

Whoa, and then for the times when we're apart
Well, then close your eyes and know
These words are comin' from my heart
And then if you can remember, oh

Keep smiling, keep shining
Knowing you can always count on me, for sure
That's what friends are for
In good times, in bad times
I'll be on your side forever more
Oh, that's what friends are for

Whoa... oh... oh... keep smilin', keep shinin'
Knowin' you can always count on me, for sure
That's what friends are for
For good times and bad times
I'll be on your side forever more
That's what friends are for

Keep smilin', keep shinin'
Knowin' you can always count on me, oh, for sure
'Cause I tell you that's what friends are for
For good times and for bad times
I'll be on your side forever more
That's what friends are for (That's what friends are for)

On me, for sure
That's what friends are for
Keep smilin', keep shinin'

sisters

she
is like a sister
when the little sister needs her
she'll be there
when the little sister is in confusion
she comforts her

when the little sister is being playful
she's always watching over her
entertain her as possible
giving advice if appropriate...

and yes, this little sister is glad to call you, her sister... ^_^

i am so grateful
to have friends
to everyday cook and
actually feed me

i am so thankful
to have seniors
who always care and love me

how i can repay all your deeds
only in prayer that i can do
and may Allah bless your life

speak out!

salam and hi

joining in societies enables me to know lots more new people. as i am in st john's ambulance and taekwondo club, i have met (and had conversation with) a few people of different background, and different courses, for sure.

most of them have never heard across the word 'malaysia'. yeah, pretty sad for me to say because our country is sooo limited and tiny to be as famous as the united states or japan as part of their general knowledge *same goes to me if you ask me about other countries*

so far, it's great to be joining them, but the one thing we also run away from, is to join their social gathering/event. their way to socialise is mainy going to the pub and hang around with some theme costumes and all. lets say, this week's theme is cops and robbers, so the following week will be mexican theme, so you'll have to dress like one. the temptation to join is there, but it is truly not a malaysian (or should i say malay's) culture. so before i get into something i shouldn't be doing, it's better to avoid (mamabear,2010).

oh yeah, before i forgot, i made a record~ me, emkay, imah and syara had a lift by a local. we met her during the practise and because she was all alone, we invited her to join us and training together. after the session, we chat for a while when she asked where do we stayed. and that's the time she offered us a lift since she's driving her own car to the sports centre. for me, that was a cool experience, i would say. this is what you get when you have lots of networking.

so, the moral of the story for me, is that i should keep on connecting with international friends, in appropriate way (that's for sure) so that i'll benefit the best of it. i have to talk more and be less shy as i am today ( in terms of to speak out in the class and creating conversation ).. insya'allah~
