it's already warm?? (>_<)

 

˖ ݁𖥔 ݁˖˚ ༘ ೀ⋆.˚˙✧

it seems like the weather is warming up again :") i'll definitely miss the rain...

it's deepavali holidays rn so i have a lot of free time!!! instead of doing my homework.... i'm thinking of going somewhere or doing something i like...

this morning has been nice to me and i don't feel too bad!! although i didn't have the best breakfast (chicken kuetiau soup — the food is my fav, but this particular one isn't my cup of tea...)

i should get back to reading again!! also lately i've been listening to Jeff Buckley and Amy Winehouse!! they're both sooo good (ಥ_ಥ)(ಥ_ಥ) wish they're still here.... my fav Jeff song currently is "Last Goodbye" or "I Want Someone Badly" (i can't decide!) anddd for Amy it's "Wake Up Alone" (....and "Love Is A Losing Game" ....)

around penang ep.2 ~~

 

໒꒰ྀིっ˕ -｡꒱ྀི১

— saturday

second day of the TCP trip!!! firstly we went to Penang Hill and arrived at 9am（○｀ 3′○）

  all of us took the "fast-lane" funicular railway. we learned about the history of all 5 peaks of Penang Hill!! only this day i found out that it consists of multiple peaks (＊0＊;)

⋆˚✿˖°꒱ྀི১

after we got to know our tour guide (Mr. Sugumar) it started to rain!! we all were drenched in rain ∑(゜□゜； but honestly.... let's be real, getting wet from the rain is always better than sweating bcs of the heat!!

  next, i did a tour commentary about Penang Hill on the bus. i didn't glance at my notes at all!! ヽ(^。^)ノ

  here are some other pics from Penang Hill!

🍓⋆ ˚｡⋆୨🍡୧˚

we were supposed to head to Georgetown, specifically Armenian Street — unfortunately it rained quite heavily and we had to wait for a while to get back to the lower ground (i think the railway was having some troubles) ~(*+﹏+*)~

  nevertheless we did go to the Penang Tropical Fruit Farm!!! i learned a lot of things from the walk through the farm. yet we only got the chance to visit a small portion bcs they're closing soon!

— friday

it's the first day of my trip around Penang with my friends!! it's organised by UiTM of Penang under the tourism course. it's a field trip!!

☆.𓋼𓍊 𓆏 𓍊𓋼𓍊.☆

 [click on the picture to enlarge]   

after that, we went to put our bags and stuff at our homestay(s). we were served rice with chicken curry and other dressings!! it was so good ( ^)o(^ ) 

  then we played some traditional villager games like "tarik upih"!! at night after all prayers were done, we attended a speech by the lecturers of UiTM, but it wasn't exactly a boring speech, you know? they shared their experiences in the tourism field and it's quite interesting !

  that's all for today. i'll post moreee next!!! 

a day wasted!!!

 

✦•┈๑⋅⋯ ⋯⋅๑┈•✦

an old feeling washed all over me again (p′︵‵。) it's best to describe it with the song "Life Wasted" by Intig.

  it's not really an 'old' feeling though; it's just that it's all have been a bit of a blur nowadays, but i think it has always been there. the feeling of worthlessness (′ェ`)

  the picture was taken just now! currently working on my history homework. i need to finish a lot of previous homeworks too..... i have been careless and procrastinating so much..... it'll be tiring to go back and see all the things i have left behind ﾟ( ﾟஇ‸இﾟ)ﾟ

  i guess i'll just have to bear with it!!! 

  ohh!!! did i tell you i'll be going on a field trip soon? it's soo packed with activities, i don't even know where to start!! i'll be going with 5 other classmates (●´∀｀●) expect multiple posts abt this!! we'll go this friday!

rainy day ⊂(^(工)^)⊃

 

˚₊‧꒰ა ☆ ໒꒱ ‧₊˚„…

today, it started to rain since morning until late evening. almost night, i think. this is perhaps the best day i've had in a while.

  the morning didn't start too good, but i made up for it quickly. it's not a good day in a way i got everything i asked for — the oden shop was closed today — but in a way i felt rather calmer than usual ♫꒰･‿･๑꒱

  i ate two meals with spicy chicken which is, imo, my mom's signature dish!! i know three meals are the ideal eating routine, but i don't feel good eating several plates in a day. on junk foods though...... (￣ε(#￣)︴also i fell into deep slumber after the first meal i ate (after school) ..... the cold weather makes me very happy!!

  i hope the coming days will feel a lot better. i hope anyone reading this will have better days ahead too!!! daily life can be rough on us, but don't let it stop you from finding day-to-day joys ( ੭ु´ ･∀ ･`) ु 

ʚ(*`꒳`*)ɞ .｡✧･ﾟ:* ~♡

my new glasses!! ~`O`~

 

ִֶָ𓂃 ࣪˖ ִֶָ🐇་༘࿐

this evening i had the chance to pick up my new pair of glasses!! and it's in pink ↖(^ω^)↗

  i used to put on this false claim that i don't reallly like pink at all...... because i'm not "that girly" or "too feminine"........ although you can argue about the latter, it's true that i secretly adore pink colours!!! especially if it's soft or it's something that's see-through ☆＼(^ω^＼)

  i need some time to adjust myself wearing this.... it's normal if you feel a liitlle dizzy during the first days of wearing a new pair of glasses..... but check with the optometrist again if you feel weird for too long!! ヽ(＾Д＾)ﾉ

  that's all for today's entry. if i have anything interesting to say, i'll write in the next post!!! 

𓆉𓆝 𓆟 𓆞 𓆝 𓆟𓇼

today was a good day!!!

 

─── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ──

today was surprisingly soo much better than yesterday!! probably just a normal one, but yesterday i was an angry freak.... so today felt so fine!

  although i was uncomfortable all the time at school, my mom and sister took us to eat out after !! nothing too fancy, i had fried instant noodles and a butter bun (=^.^=) it was very fulfilling and i still feel full right now (7pm)

  on our way out of the mall, we stopped by a glasses shop (is that what you call?) just for fun! unexpectedly, we are quite interested by the prices for the frames + lenses, and the designs of them ( ੭ु´ ･∀ ･`) ु i end up getting a new pair !!! also my far-sightedness increased....

  while examining my eyesight for the glasses, i wondered about what courses did the guy who examined me took. do you call them ophthalmologists?? but aren't those specifically for people who are considered doctors in the field? .... (。_。) anyways, it's really interesting to wonder what he studied to get this job. it's "just" working in a regular glasses shop in a mall, but those eyesight exams are hard to navigate blindly.... (see what i did there)

  i'll show a pic of the new glasses soon!! we're expected to receive it tomorrow evening.✧٩(の❛ᴗ❛ の)۶

lately, i have been craving a looot of food.

  it ranges from mochis and icecreams to cakes to ramyeon (bonus korean spicy chicken!!!)

  i shouldn't surrender to my tastebuds!! ༼⁠;⁠´⁠༎ຶ⁠ ⁠۝ ⁠༎ຶ⁠༽    i really should control my sugar intake, the amount of calories i eat every day..... not even being paranoid!! i just rlly eat too much junk food sometimes...

  those mukbang vids on yt are so appetizing 😭 ༎ຶ⁠‿⁠༎ຶ but it doesn't help that i don't have any of the foods in my pantry or fridge... i wish we could live in a world where we're free to eat junk foods all the time without bad consequences!! ಥ⁠‿⁠ಥ

  i have already eaten rice and a bit of fried noodles and i still feel sooo hungry. aaaaa this is a disease!!! (foreshadowing?) oh, im planning to bring instant ramyeon to school soon.. is 20 mins enough for me to cook it and eat? whatever!!! i'll continue eating in class if i need to ᕦ⁠(⁠ ⁠⊡⁠ ⁠益⁠ ⁠⊡⁠ ⁠)⁠ᕤᕦ⁠(⁠ ⁠⊡⁠ ⁠益⁠ ⁠⊡⁠ ⁠)⁠ᕤ

[rant] noh salleh changed my life

 

˙✧˖°🎻 ༘ ⋆｡

today i want to talk about Noh Salleh's hit album (well, *his* most known album) "Angin Kencang"!! ⭐⭐⭐

  since i'm not an expert in music whatsoever, everything i say might sound inaccurate. enjoy it as a light reading session!! ⁽⁠⁽⁠ଘ⁠(⁠ ⁠ˊ⁠ᵕ⁠ˋ⁠ ⁠)⁠ଓ⁠⁾⁠⁾

  "Angin Kencang" is the first album of Noh as a soloist artist. it was first released in 2014, but new songs were added resulting in the 2017 release :

• "Mr Polia" (a james bond-ish upbeat song)
• "Renjana" (melancholic noir song)
• "Sarawak" (a tribute to his birthplace)

  Noh has expressed how he somehow likes to release multiple editions(?) of songs (for example : a song was already released as a single, but he still included it in the next album) because it feels nice when fans have a huge collection of his music. 🍀 personally, i don't think it's a problem bcs that way he would release music more often, instead of waiting for the whooolee album to fully finish.

  it's amazing to see how much his fans love him ᕙ⁠ ⁠(⁠°⁠ ⁠~⁠ ⁠°⁠ ⁠~⁠)

  "Angin Kencang" for me, is a blend of jazz, pop, rock and psychedelia. Noh's direction for the album was something like french pop/jazz, and a hint of Sore (an indonesian band) 🦋 when i discovered his music, i was enchanted (⁠ ⁠ꈍ⁠ᴗ⁠ꈍ⁠) at first, they sounded like your average malay balad-pop songs played on the tv and radios, but the more i listen, the more i find in his compositions. backing vocals, extraordinary direction of synths(?) and instruments ...

  also!! he didn't compose and write the whole album on his own. he even collaborated with a few indonesian artists like alm. Ade Paloh (from Sore band) and others (i forgot, sorry!! DD: ) this is why the lyrics, etc wasn't too similar to the way he wrote his Hujan band songs!! ヾ⁠(⁠*⁠’⁠Ｏ⁠’⁠*⁠)⁠/ he was trying to push his limits and be more experimental during the production of the album.

  ʚ🍓ɞ ꒦꒷⩩ "Angin Kencang" has given me some good comfort songs. i'd totally recommend :

• Angin Kencang (can never go wrong with the most hit song)
• Biar Seribu (a bittersweet "fancy-diner" romantic song)
• Sarawak !! (soft jazzy song, reminds me of Chet Baker a bit)

  his songs give off melancholic-romantic sounds that warms your heart. soo good to listen during rainy weather or whenever you're chilling indoors (⁠人⁠*⁠´⁠∀⁠｀⁠)⁠｡⁠*ﾟ⁠+ 🌷 thank you Noh Salleh and friends for the fresh, avant-garde music, challenging the norms of the nation's music industry (⁠^⁠^⁠)

  ever since i've discovered Noh Salleh, i'm so inspired by the fact that he's always keen to experiment and explore different genres/styles. now, i listen to more genres and artists than ever!!! also Noh is the best internet funnyman pls stay healthy and awesome >o<)/ ˚🎧⊹♡

P.S. back in 2018, Noh was nominated for AJL ("Anugerah Juara Lagu" - a huge national competition between the songs of the year). he was criticised by many for his "too laid-back" and "plain" composition of "Angin Kencang" song. he didn't make it to the finale. then, in 2023, many youngsters are attracted to the same song, placing it amongst the most popular local hits of that year. he was certainly ahead of his time ☀️

it happened again.... ！Σ( ﾟεﾟ；)

⋆｡‧˚ʚ🍒ɞ˚‧｡⋆

so i have mentioned that i received a crepe under my table yesterday... i got it today, too!!! L(ﾟ皿ﾟﾒ)」

  this time it was chocolate flavoured with a bit of cake inside of it (are cream-filled crepe wraps considered as cakes? idk ^_^// but this small piece of cake is put inside the crepe along with the cream) ...and of course it was tasty, but my problem is the mysterious person who put it.

  i have no problem with getting free treats from my fellows, awesome!!! but again, not knowing who gave it is so frustrating. like what do you want from me ( ;｀Д´) pls don't be the same guy from last year.....

food under the table

🪼⋆.ೃ࿔*:･

yesterday, when i was absent, my friend told me someone (unknown) put a strawberry crepe under my table !! we were trying hard to figure out who put it since earlier morning. 

  sadly, since it wasn't refrigerated overnight, we found it already too bad to eat. i think it there wasn't a real strawberry slice in it, it would have lasted at least several more hours!! but what do i know?

  i felt so bad throwing away the crepe. it seems the person must one of the some people who know i like crepes. sorry buddy, maybe next time don't waste your money on me :P

P.S. i hate when *unknown* people give me gifts!!! it feels unsettling and not cute or wholesome at all ಠ⁠益⁠ಠ  ಠ⁠益⁠ಠ

i have fever (⁠゜⁠o⁠゜⁠;

   

𓆝 𓆟 𓆞 𓆝 𓆟

today i woke up with a heavy body :l i think the fever is because of the vaccination yesterday. i didn't go to school today!! it feels bad (but also relieving because i have unfinished homework loll)

  i feel as if i'm unable to move without feeling like my brain is moving around!!! i have forgotten what it felt to have a fever. but what can i do?

  anyways i'll probably clean my room later — i always have a lot of motivation to do productive things *only* when i'm in inconvenient situations 😒

vaccination!! ദ്ദി(ᵔᗜᵔ)

────୨ৎ────

at school today, all of form3 got vaccinated!! it was an ATT vac (whatever that means haha!) it hurts a lot for some, but personally i don't think of it as such a huge deal ^_^ my tip for distracting yourself from the injection pain is to chat with the nurse/doctor!

  i did that earlier, but apparently she wasn't the kind who can easily talk while doing something with multiple steps (just like me lol) so i stopped asking questions when she started to inject me. it did distract me a bit!!

  i have some homework to do. shuckssss :\\\ will say more stuff later!!! hopefully my arm won't feel so heavy tomorrow 🎶🎶
