Holidays seem to crawl on and on, what with all the friends working. Typical invites as follows:

Fad: Hello. Oi want to go 5some anot? I miss you guys lah!
Nas: Uh. Me and Farez free on Sundays only. We working lah. How?
Fad: I no problem. Can make it.
Nas: Then Kim can?
Fad: K wait i call him.

*Riiing**Rinnng*

Kim: Harllooooo.
Fad: Oi you free on Sunday?
Kim: Harlooooo. Harlooooo. (proceeds to irritate the shit out of me for 10 mins)
Fad: *Groans*
Kim: Klah klah. Im not free lah. I work at Deli. I'm only free on Wednesdays.

So there you go. Somehow all their schedules seem to clash. Since my mom is against my plans of working, my days were spent sitting in front of the comp, itchy fingers changing blog templates ever so often. (who managed to see my 1 day template of Puteri Gunung Ledang?)

Anyway, i've decided, that i shall make full use of the holidays!

Aim 1:
This holiday will be used to unleash the seni-ish and sastera-ish characteristics in me once more! Its been a long while since ive made proper use of the Malay language. Sigh.

How i crave for the Primary School days, where Pantuns/Sajaks/Syairs just seem to flow out of my fingers.

Things done so far:
Watching Puteri Gunung Ledang. huaaarghahha. ok you may ask, "But Faddy, how does that help to unleash that seniish and sasteraish characters in you?" The answer is simple. Go watch the movie.

Watch out for the kehalusan of the language, the kata-kata beralas. Notice the amount of peribahasas scattered around. Ive also went to the library and borrowed books by Isa Kamari, A Samad Said etc.

Aim 2:
The other half has been telling me, that i am a person who dreams high, but doesnt do much to achieve my dreams. *ouch* But i guess the words he says have truth in them.

How am i supposed to pass my ALevels with flying colors and get to NUS if my maths right now is at a retarded B4? How am i supposed to compete with the rest who get A1s? So i have two years to brush up my Maths.

Thus, i, Nur Fadhilah, will start to revise my Emaths again, and get the other half to coach my Amaths, since he got A2 in it.

Things done so far:
Uhm. Found my Emaths book? heehe.

Aim 3:
Learn to play the guitar properly.

Things done so far:
Woke up this morning at 5am, got my butt to Farez's house with Nas to get the guitar bag, hobble over to the other half's house for the guitar and now i have a Yamaha Acoustic in my room. weeeee. Can't wait to tinker with it.

So i've laid out 3 aims. Would have laid out more, but i'm gonna listen to the other half's advise.

I've watched Puteri Gunung Ledang twice, the first time covering the subtitles and the second with it. Enjoyed it both times. Am planning to watch it again later in the afternoon.

Yes yes i'm so free cuz everyone is out working.

Irfan was asking me last night, "Which scene had the most impact on you?"

Huargh. Talking to him was like having a sastera/filem discussion class on the film. haha.

Here's the two templates i made and used for yesterday, for those who missed it:



Setiap orang punyai impian.Impian itu yang bisa meneruskan kehidupan. Impian Dinda adalah, untuk mencapai cinta sejati. Impian Kanda?



Adinda bersumpah, jikalau Kekanda tidak kembali, Dinda akan menyusuli Kekanda. Memijak pada tanah yang sama, bernafas pada udara yang sama.


And yes! Since you're my faithful blogder (and as part at promoting Puteri Gunung Ledang) feel free to use these pics for whatever purpose. haha. By the way, the pictures are extracted from the Puteri Gunung Ledang webby.

The scene which made the most impact on me: Tuah, tetap tuah.
