OMG! You so have to watch this, I just can't keep it to myself! I showed it to Is and my sister and now whoever you are, you have to watch it. Its simply ADORABLE!
I don't get those who loves to hurt animals. They're just weird to me. Sometimes I think they're the ones that is an animal, not the animals themselves. Silly how the world goes. I'm currently reading a book called, "One World" by Peter Singer. It discusses issues like globalization and what it really means to be a "One World" society. I just started the book last night but I'm loving it so I'll tell u a bit more once I understand the concepts.
I'm also doing a unit called, "Community Development", its one of my subjects in Uni and we have to volunteer at an organization for 15 days. I got quite a number of offers, Kanyana Animal Rehabilitation Centre, Oxfam and Save the Children. I wanted to do it at the rehabilitation centre cos I love animals and its been my dream to have the chance to take care of endangered and wild animals but its a bit too far away. I might just go there occasionally when I have time to volunteer. I hope everything goes well!
I might also volunteer at a local community radio station but that's not for certain yet, I'll have to manage my time. I just want to get as much experience as I can before I go back cause one day, I want to open an animal shelter of my own in Brunei. I'm also planning to volunteer at the Animal Shelter we currently have in Brunei so anyone who wants to join me, please feel free to do so! More love and caring is a big YES, YES! Hehe.
Anyhow, I managed to babble, yet again!
Enjoy the video!

Hello~
Well, hello2.
It's been freaking ages and yes, noone has updated! *looks at my siblings* we've been busy with life that we forgot, well I mostly forgot to update this bare blog of our's. Anyhow, I'm here in KL with my sister~
I've been here for quite some time now, leaving soon to Perth this 2nd! Time flies by so fast. What's new eh? Nothing much really. Oh, I straightened my hair! Haha. Oooo..wow, tira! That's like awesome news - not.
Next semester is gonna be my last semester, amin. I'm kinda nervous and excited at the same time thinking about it. I don't really want to work yet, I'm not ready yet and I don't know if I can fit back home. Life's just different and I'm not exactly the same person as I was before. I learned a lot these past few months and a lot has happened to me. One thing I've learnt is never again!
But that's a different story which I'm not gonna share here~ Back to this business of working, I just don't know where to work. Dad tells me to work at the Government sector but will I seriously survive there? I haven't been in Brunei for quite some time now and whenever I'm there, I'm not really enjoying it to be honest. People just think so differently. It's not that I'm saying I'm way clever than the rest of you people back home! God no. I'm just saying people aren't that open minded yet there and people do things differently. I think my siblings will understand what I mean, ryt guys n girl?
However, I'm proud of my lil bro, riffin for being so active in trying to create a positive change. We believe in you (ignore abg azri, you do have potential). In fact, I think you'll do more than the rest of us!
To my sister, I know what you know that I know! Hahahaha. I'm going to be her wedding planner *wink2* ryt2? I so am! There's going to be lots of things happening! Elephants! Music! Lights! Oh also, to those that we don't like, I dunno..we might not invite you guys to the wedding. Hahaha.
My big bro, Azri bought a new laptop. I can't wait to play with it. =) and when I went back home for awhile (like 2 days), I met the cats! They are still ADORABLE and getting more n more n more cheeky! I love them n absolutely miss them a lot. Sandy gave me lots of scars in just the 2 days I went back. That lil' bugger is a tough cat but I know he wants to be cared n loved for all the time. He makes sure we do! Lol. We have 2 new dwarf hamsters which still doesn't have a name. Kesian eh. They're Sandy's newest best friend.
Hmm..what else? Oh, I want to give a shout out. I miss Iskandar! Wohoo~ Heeeeeeeeee! He lost a lot of weight whilst I gained a lot. Haha, funny. Yes2 I will try my best to lose them when I go back to Perth. I plan to join the gym if I have the budget.
Well, my mind just went blank. I'm listening to "Five for Fighting - World" right now, please if you have the time, listen to it! Riffin, you so should as well! I love this songgg!
I also love PS I love You the movie! Me and sis cry like a baby whenever we watch it. Haha. I love Gerrard Butler! I want myself a singing Irishman!
I'm out.

Gaza.
I'm pretty sure you all know that Gaza was under attack from Israel last week. What a great way to tell people they're in power. I don't understand what the big fuss is, they have the land already. Muslims and Jews shouldn't fight for the land when they can live together peacefully since they already stayed there for centuries.
Why kill innocent people? I don't hate the Israelis but I don't agree on the way they approach this matter. Hamas on the other hand, is the same. Both parties are wrong, I think. This is purely my own opinion. I think more of the innocent people who gets killed in the process of all this evil and stupidity. Both of you people should sit down and sort your problems out. Sometimes I think countries are like little kids. Like how the US was bullied by the "Islamic world" by 9/11. Yes, that was a terrible day, I know. But the fact that you (the US Government) blamed us so fast makes me wonder if 9/11 wasn't a staged attack. I know it is though, I'm not stupid. I know its a stage attack by the very people who control this whole world of ours.
If you want to know, I think there's a group of very powerful people controlling the money, creating wars for their own benefits and causing most of the pain and suffering in this world. Though I don't know who they are yet. Bush was merely a puppet because he's just a dumb person. I do hope Obama will be different but they always say, never judge the book by its cover. We have yet to see if Obama will create the positive changes he promised he'll make.
If you've watched "The Day the Earth Stood Still" film, I think that will happen to us in the near future, only under a different context. We are damaging the Earth in such a fast pace, we just don't want to accept it. Well, majority of us don't want to. Some are trying to make change which is good.
Aliens are going to come to Earth and kill us off to help her live because we're not treating our planet nicely. So, when they come, we will know then who we really are (crapping here, of course. I'm sure you can see it)
Oh well, what I'm trying to say is please recycle, use less electricity and water. Don't hurt the animals, help others and make a positive change. Even the smallest change can create a big difference. Trust me.
.Athirah.
Unwell.
I haven't been feeling well lately, ever since I went to KL and labuan last week. I went there with my grandparents and cousin, it wasn't the trip I thought it'd be. I didn't have as much fun as I wanted to.
I spent New Years in bed, with a bad headache and a temperature, listening to the fireworks going off and people shouting, "Happy New Year's!" and oh, chatting away online. Just came back from the clinic actually, the doctor didn't actually tell what's wrong with me. So, I'm assuming I have a mild case of food poisoning.
But shit, it hurts. I so don't like it. Anyways, the Gala Night for Bruonz is going according to plan. Although, we're having a bit of a problem getting sponsors but I think we'll make do without the extra money. But then again, they said they're gonna use the extra money for next year's event.
If you're wondering what Bruonz is, its an association of students from the 5 states in Australia, which includes Perth, Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane and New Zealand. At first, it was such a mess. I didn't want anything to do with it. But so far, it went well and we're trying our best to be organized. We were supposed to have Fun Day on the 4th but that had to be cancelled. Bummer. Oh well, I couldn't go there so it wasn't a big deal for me.
I'm tired. My stomach is jabbing me, we're having a war inside. My stomach hates me right now I think. I'm beginning to hate it as well, booo you stomach! I hate food poisoning.
There's so much worries in my mind right now. I don't know how to settle them. I wish I can just stop time like Hiro Nakamura (dreammmyyy. he's cute!) but wishes are there to give false hope sometimes. Sigh. I just wanna go away and do whatever it is I want without being judged by others.
Why do people do that? Judging others? Its not like they are any better, right? I hate living in people's shadows and expectations. I've told myself that I won't anymore, I won't care as much cause they're no better than me. I just don't care.
Judge away mate. I can't be bothered. I've met so many people in life that sometimes it makes me wonder about things. I want to be who I am.
I'm not girly, I can never be even if I try. I don't worry myself with fashion, shoes, bags or anything like that. Don't get me wrong, I like to shop for them but I just don't worry so much about them. I'm not sporty either, I suck at sports.
I'm just me, people try so much to change who I am. I don't like it. Why can't you like me for who I am? I'm comfortable being Athirah, a simple person with very deep thoughts. I love animals. I'm emotional when I want to be. I don't give two shits about silly stuffs if I think they're silly. So accept me for who I am.
Thank you.
P/s: But I don't love myself that much tho, I do sometimes hate the things I do. Oh well.
.Athirah.

Leave Me Alone.
I'm tired. Leave me alone. I want to be in my room, to watch all the episodes of Naruto and just leave me alone. I want to be left alone. I'm not going to pretend like I'm happy. I'm going to damn right show you that I'm unhappy cos you chose to be here and read this post so its your fault.
I want to be an animal presenter or animal director.
I'm listening to Good Charlotte - Hold On right now. Yes, I'm trying to hold on. I'm still an emotional wreck. Is there a stupid counsellor at this shitty place? I need to talk to one. And no bro, I don't want to talk to you. I was aiming that at Azri.
I am emo...................................................................!
What?
I'm bored....
SO?
Dunno.
Not perfect.
No. Noone really is perfect. I certainly am not perfect, neither are you. I killed a kitten today. I lost a chance to get a job. This has been the worst night. Easy as that really, no complications. It's not the worst day, I've had worst days. It is one of the worst nights.
I had a meeting for this event we're holding, which I can't even go to. I can't go to 'Fun' day cause I have to go to shitty Labuan cos dad says so. Well, fuck Labuan. I will go but I will oh so make life miserable along the way. I'm gonna bring the Ipod I was given and I'm gonna listen to my songs, going to be in my own little world and please expect me to be grumpy.
Sigh.
Shitty night. Stupid period pains. I killed a kitten. I feel like a murderer. Now, I'm emo. So whoever wants to say I'm emo, go ahead. Say it, I don't care. I really don't care. I'm emotional right now. Its the hormone, Azahar says.
Well, fuck the hormones as well. I killed a kitten! I had the chance to stop and pick it up from the road but by the time I got back, it got ran over by some fucking moron. Thanks a lot, moron. Great driving. You killed the kitten. It's my fault as well cos I didn't save it in time.
God, I'm a mess. I feel like a mess. Why the hell am I writing all this down here anyway? I don't know. I don't really care if anyone reads this.
I can never sleep early anymore because no matter how tired I feel, no matter how I try to force myself to sleep, I just can't. Its stupid! Why is it so stupid? I should just be able to shut my eyes and voila, sleep comes! No, that's not what happens to me. I think I'm depressed.
I know I'm irrational right now. Stupid everything. Stupid. Stupid. Stupid.
I killed a kitten tonight. I can't sleep. I've been watching Naruto to numb my feelings. I want to get out of this shit hole. I want to just be anywhere but here. Yea, although I feel safe in my room, I just don't want to be here.
I'm going crazzzyyyyy. OMG.

I am bored!
Hi, Tirah here. I am so bored of you siblings of mine, not updating anything here. Hmmph. Okay, let me do it since I'm so free~ I'm currently in Brunei already, yes. I came back last last Sunday. The next day when I came back, I ate ambuyat!!
I'm very happy. Its been far far too long since I ate ambuyat and spicy foods. I missed my grandma's cooking so much, its not funny. Haha. Azahar likes to say that, "I'm so full, its not even funny". Sometimes I miss Perth, hanging out with Azahar, Lisa and Sharul~ Yea~ we had fun wasting time and not doing anything.
I hear Lisa's a very bored person right now too, so am I.
I know how you feel now! But I'm really happy I'm back home, happy to be with my family and cats. Hehe. My cats have GROWN. They're absolutely divine! Haha, apakan. They're gorgeous. All big and cute, as usual. I hangout with them sometimes, talk to them (I'm not crazy, they do listen).
What else is happening here?
Not much. Tonight I'm sleeping at Empire with my cousins, hopefully it'll be fun! I am a happy happy woman~
Apakan.
Entah.
You're boring me. Well, if you're bored, go somewhere else.
Okay, next time. I'm keeping the really interesting bits for the next post. Right now, I have to get ready to go Empire~
TA~

My Achievement! Take That!
Ah~ Life is sweet when it beckons to be and it doesn't get any better than this. I know of some people who look down on me well for obvious reasons. I couldn't get the diploma qualification...I have no degree to show my worth that kind of thing. It falls around the agenda of you are so stupid that you can't even finish your diploma category.
Well life is fair to all and almighty Allah listens to those who seek its help. Yeah its true I don't have a PIECE of paper to show that I have qualification but to me all that is just useless, anyone can have a piece of paper >_> heck I can buy the so called paper in black markets if I'm prompted to. At the end of the day what separates us is that piece of paper to show that you have the qualification and I don't.
Well as you know or some of you don't I got a job about 5 months ago as an IT Technician, it may not be much but being a technician is okay as well. It may not be a high paying job but its a job nonetheless. So there I was an IT Technician and from there on my path was carved and I walked along it with my head held high!
5 Months later on, well well well~ Now we come to the present time. 5 months ago I was only an IT Technician that was 5 months ago...in the 3 months that passed by, I worked pretty hard and learned all I could about IT Technology and in the 4th month of my employment I got promoted to be an IT Engineer!
So there those who looked down upon me, I showed you all that having a piece of paper does not make you any better than me. But I can be much better than you! Think about that and review yourself thoroughly, Never EVER look down on someone else just because they don't have any qualifications but think about what they can do.
So moral of this story is to not underestimate the underdog and always look not for whether one has qualification but look for what the person is capable of. There ya go! I'm done for today so good-bye ladies and gentlemen I have servers I need to maintain~ Ta~
