...One day left...

So, there is still one day left. This Saturday the Menteri Besar will come to TMS and I have to come to school on that day to welcome him with some other chosen students. Hmm.. I dunno but I think it would be just great because there'll be loads of activities and shows present by the students that stay in the school hostels. I like it when they play the "Chaklempong", a traditional instrument. It's sounds so melodious that I think you should try playing it. I heard them play at the school hall again yesterday evening and I heard them play once more this morning at the same place. Today, no teacher in class and I went to hear them play the instrument again. Students are not allowed to go in the school hall because they are doing some preparation for this Saturday but, that don't stopped me from hearing them play. I went and sat, lay my back against the wall and hear them play silently. :)

I just love that time.

Caklempong is found in Negeri Sembilan, on the west coast of the Peninsular. It is believed to have originated from Sumatra, being brought to Negeri Sembilan by Minangkabau immigrants. A complete caklempong group is made up of 5 sets of bonang or small tuned knobbed gongs (2 sets of 15 bonang arranged in 2 rows and 3 sets of 8 bonang arranged in a single row), a rebana as for hadrah and dabus described earlier, a seruling or wooden flute, 2 long drums with either one or both sides with heads, and a 15 inch diameter gong. Caklempong groups commonly lack some of the above instruments, especially the full complement of bonang. Originally, the pentatonic scale, each of which is very close to the western notes of C, D, E, F and G, was used, but that now all notes of the tempered scale have been included. The original repertoire consisted of 12 pieces, but the repertoire now includes many more new and arranged pieces.

There Are Some Silver Lining

yeah, when Selena Gomez sings 'Everything Is Not What It Seems' . well, today, if you wanna know...is SUCKS . but, not the whole part of it. just the part that was ruined by an evil maniac that I don't even know . maybe we haven't met yet - and, did I mention that he/she is a maniac?!!! and irresponsible too! very irresponsible indeed. what a person! this morning i woke up almost early. however, i accidentally slept the morning . ugh. and that was where the whole story begins. yeah, totally. then, i woke up again. didn't have time to look at the clock. there was no time because the curtain was flashed with daylight! i know i was going to be late to school. yesterday, i went to school and guess what, even the stray cats didn't walk in the school front gate yet . if you come to my school, there is this cat with white fluffy fur. anyway, i'm not really the person who has any positive interest in cats. except for kicking them, HAHAA. ok, not gonna happen. back...

"Hey there, Delilah. Here's to you. This one's for you"

Hello, lovelies. 💗 There are certain things keep bugging my head every now and then but none of those is as saddening as this one currently circling my head. Almost two years has passed. Crazy how one thing could really decide to just sit there in your head and won't ever leave, right? *sigh. And as crazy as that may be, um, I don't know why it keeps coming back. I don't mean anything vivid like flashbacks - just feelings. Perhaps I'm so used to missing it every single day and had been comfortable of doing so for quite a long time that somehow a man of routine like me failed to forget. Not like I'm trying hard enough. I remember crying so hard and has begged to have my life back. Wallahi , that one du'a was so sincerely wished it literally came true. I got my life back. He gave me my life back. Just the way it was before life decided to be complicated. But why, though everything is back as it was once were, that I start to..um. Am I ...
