Over the weekend

How many things can one experience over the weekend? TONS judging by all the fun things I've done. Haha!

Friday 23rd.

Went to the Twin Towers @live concert to catch SNSD's performance. Gotta say, not my best experience, just because the arrangement of the concert itself was fugged up. I was happy to catch glimpses of SNSD though! I'm pretty sure it would've been an awesome view if it weren't for;

1) Stupid tall man in front of me who kept fist pumping at every word that came out of the girls' mouths. Fuck you. I have a few photos and videos of only your Goddamn hand you fucker.

2) Stupid couple who snuck into the fan zone. The girl kept asking the boyfriend to carry her so she could record the performance. Fuck you, seriously, selfish cunts.

3) Smelly people because they smell like longkang with shit in it. EVER HEARD OF DEODORANT?


Other than that, I was quite pleased with seeing SNSD (even though Yuri wasn't there boohoo). The funniest part of the night was when SNSD ended their performance, and approximately 75% of the crowd dispersed from around the stage. The organizers should learn that K-Pop brings in people and $$, not Nicole Schehoirhsknaiud from Pussycat Dolls. Just sayin'.

And the next time SNSD comes over, I will get proper tickets and make sure I have a radius of 1m personal space around me, for the sake of dancing my fucking ass off.


The venue ~ To be honest, yes, it's a nice place to have a concert because the Twin Towers are mega gorgeous when fully lit up, but the location is impractical and not strategic at all. The crowd, the traffic ... aiya.


The crowd when the girls introduced themselves. Do you see the amount of cameras, phones and fucking iPads (I swear there were at least 3 people using iPads in front of me. At a CONCERT? REALLY?!)?! Jessie J was right, you don't experience a concert through a camera okay people.


The best photo I got of SNSD. At least I got one without that asshole's fist pump ruining it.


LOOK INTO MY EYEZZZ. YOUUUUU WILL SEEEEE.

Saturday 24th.

Went to Saluga beauty House in Bangsar. Had one of the most painful experiences, OF MY LIFE. It's right up there with food poisoning from both ends, yes. It's not the kind of pain where the feeling lasts for a very long time, like when you have diarrhea or extreme period cramps and you just want to die instead of being tortured by your own body. It's more of like ... when you bang your pinky toe against the edge of a table, you take about 3 seconds to react because your brain is trying to process the pain, and when you do feel it, you can't move. You just crawl up into a ball and pray for the pain to disappear, but it never actually does until some period of time. Yeah similar experience, multiplied by 20.

You can clearly guess whart I did at this beauty salon. Hahaha! Why? It's affordable and ... well why the hell not? LOL! I've always wanted to try it, and since I had some extra money and time, go for it! It was an interesting experience, despite the agony of it all. I can now say that I've tried it! And I don't mind maintaining this. Haha. Healthier ~ Easy, breezy, beautiful ~ (insert hilarious word here).

After that, me and Qissu went for a stroll in Bangsar! Bangsar is a very pretty place. I can see why my sister likes going there. But the drivers are bitches! Just cause you drive an expensive car, doesn't mean you can be a reckless pig on the road!


The best cake in the whole wide world. <3

Saturday 24th & Sunday 25th

Jas, Nad and the One Academy people had a caricature booth in Subang Parade on Saturday and Sunday. The crowd wasn't too great but they managed to raise SOME money. That's a good thing, really. I went to teman them and help out a lil' (and stone most of the time because staying at home is dull). They'll be in Taylor's next week to do caricatures so hopefully there'll be more customers then.


Jas's best customer. She talked so much that it took Jas about an hour to finish her caricature. Hahahahaha!



The adorable little girls (in which I successful scared off with my pedobear behavior).


Shaz's love.
Greatest thing about having friends who are so artistic? They draw you when they're bored. Hahahahaha.

---

I stayed at home today to finish the AutoCad drawings that I've been putting off for weeks (cause I don't wanna do it, really). I finished them and will pass them to my parents sooner or later (I think I'll give it to my dad instead of my mom cause she had a hissy fit in the morning. Must. Stay. Away.).

So I didn't go to Gushcloud for work today and Kenny was all "YOU BETTER BE IN THE OFFICE TOMORROW OR I'M GONNA MURDER YOU ahem". Hahaha! Oh, I'm wanted. I feel the love. LOL! I've successfully gotten 6 meetings with potential ambassadors for Gushcloud (including Hunny Madu yo!). I should get extra pay! Grr. Haha. This is such a fun and easy job. Loving it (Y).

Kay gonna get ready to go out. Gotta pick le waifu up then heading to Bangsar to catch my sister's short film thinggy. Should be coohl.

P.S. SCHOOL STARTS NEXT WEEK. I CAN'T WAIT.

Some Cardcaptor Sakura in 1080p for you.

Fucking nostalgic okay. I really miss watching CCS (should steal the blu-ray version from waifu soon).

My week thus far.

Been going to Gushcloud 4 hours a day (cause I'm lazy and I want to save money, so I eat lunch at home, leave at 1:30pm, leave work at 6:00pm and eat cheap food with waifu for dinner) and it's been pretty okay. My job has become more dull by the passing days. Growing the community is not an easy job, it's repetitive and it's boring. I got so tired of it.

So today, I changed my task from expanding the Gushcloud community to finding "hip" and popular youths on the web (bloggers, models, musicians, hipsters, whatever larh) and request for them to become ambassadors of Gushcloud. I wrote them emails and am now waiting for responses. Kenny (the hardcore Singaporean) was impressed by my email and said that the CMO of Gushcloud would like to meet me next Tuesday. For whart? I haven't a clue. But why not?

Maybe I'll get a job as a part time blogger of some sort? Ooh la la.

So anyway, there's less than 2 weeks until classes start. ECSTATIC. I'm so ready to do assignments man. Haha! This is exactly the motivation I need, awhh yeah! I'm pretty sure I won't feel the same when I'm actually having classes and all but, whatever. ^_^

I'm going to Gushcloud tomorrow, then will be heading to KL for the Twin Towers Alive Concert to catch SNSD live (I hope we manage to actually see them, because I know the crowd is gonna be insaneeeeeee).

Saturday will be spent with Qissu in Bangsar (trying some extremely new things oh ho ho ho) and maybe on Sunday, I'll help Jas with her booth at Parade? Hehe.


Lets prepare for SNSD!

Gonna end this post here because I should really clean my room before Jas and the Melayu stays over tomorrow. Aiks.

Of learning and experiencing new things!

The sensational feeling of blood rushing through your veins, the ticklish experience from the inside of your body, the numbing of your lips, lack of control over muscles in your face; let alone your brain. Whart an interesting experience, truly. But I'm not as fond of it as much as I am with other things. But nevertheless, the thrill does wonders to you.
*giggles like a hyperactive cow*

Some updates! I'm working part time at Gushcloud in Empire. An easy enough job with satisfactory pay (for the job that I'm doing haha). I like working there, the time is so flexible. I like it that I can go there after lunch and leave by dinner! Eggcelent way of saving up money, awh yeahhhhh!

The people there are very different, compared to the ones at Gsim's office (architecture firm, le duh). They're so money-minded and so hardcore in a sense that they have so much drive to make the company successful; with all the advertisements and meetings with big shot companies. Great to experience a company like this in action! At least I learn a little about communications and business. :D


They were also nice enough to give me a free t-shirt, even though I've only been there for 2 days, and haven't done that much haha.

---

Went to Jessie J's concert! I like Jessie J, but I believe that my admiration has evolved into pure love for her. Haha! She is like SO adorable on stage! So sweet, cute and damn funny! She's super charismatic! Which I didn't expect at all! It gave her performance a little more umph! Hope to attend her other performances in the future! :D

Went to Cash Converters with waifu to sell of some junk. They didn't take some of the stuff I brought which sucks cow balls but I still got some money off of some items. It's fun to go hunting around the house, to find crap that I don't need and sell it off! It gives me pleasure to know that I'm not becoming a hoarder (in a way). HAHA!

Also, tried some new things today. "Studied". Went to the very first Ramly Burger STORE! We've never actually seen a store dedicated to Ramly burgers before so this was MAJOR. Hahaha! Shin also brought the boys and I to a ber-chilling "Muslim bar" (alcohol-free) called Naili's Place where we stoned and watched Real Steel on their tele. Relaxing day it wassss!


THEY HAVE MENU BOARDS LIKE MCDONALD'S! So epic larh! Seriously.


Ending post nao.

X-Factor

Edit: (Wednesday 14th March) WTF I HAVEN'T POSTED THIS UP YET? MEGALOL.

Babbling shall commence, NAO.

Mir, Ian and I attended a talk by the CEO of Air Asia, Azran Osman-Rani (and to be perfectly honest, my lack of good memory forced me to google his name LOL). I seriously didn't know whart to expect from this experience. I just went because I had nothing to do and thought I could learn something new (which I did).

First things first, I seriously didn't know whart to expect. We drove all the way to this club near Lake Garden (pretty prestigious place, seeing as it was 5 minutes away from Parliament), went up to the hall with blank faces and thoughts. Shamelessly took food and started eating, staying away from people we knew not of. We suddenly realized that we were such small people in a group of big shots. The others who attended worked in oil companies, firms, graduated from Imperial College and such.

We were like, "Shit, we're suppose to network?!". FACEPALM. How do we even begin to network? How do we start a conversation with alumni graduates with so much potential to be future CEOs? "I'm a student from Taylor's and no, I haven't even graduated. I'm in my third year of degree though teehee". Oh God no.

Lucky for us, a friendly lady named Khairul who works at Groupon approached us, thinking we had jobs and all, and started talking to us. We seemed mature, she said, but judging by our intimidated facial expressions and timid demeanor, I'm pretty sure she could tell that we're just little kids, attending a talk, hoping to be enlightened. Hahaha!

Anyway, back to Azran. Well he is indeed a breath of fresh air. Never have we met a person who thinks so out-of-the-box (in the business field I mean haha). We've declared him as the Malaysian Mike Zuckerberg, seriously. Haha!

He's probably one of the only people in the Malaysia to work the way he does, in a sense that, he loves to make mistakes so that he can learn from it (this is mostly whart I learned from his talk, cancelling out all business lingo that I did not understand at all). Lemme explain. Living in Malaysia (or even Asia), our mentalities are sort of skewed. From a young age, we are taught to be very "by the book". Read, memorize, vomit out knowledge, forget whart we've learned. We're also very influenced by whart others think which affects whatever decisions we want to make for example, parents, friends, teachers; they all influence us in some way. If we wish to dream big, there is surely someone to bring us down and say, "No, that's impossible. You can't do it" (I can vouch for that).

Thankfully, we have a man like Azran. I can't explain it. He somehow broke that glass barrier, those obstacles that a person of the norm would face, challenge, fail and walk away from. He's got so much determination and so much drive, and is so, SO positive about everything! Which is good because a positive attitude brings you more opportunities and a ton of luck (I'd like to believe).

I can't really explain how I feel, listening to such an inspiring man speak. You'd have to listen to him yourself. But I feel like because of people like him, there is hope in Malaysians (hahaha cheesey but so true). And perhaps, I could one day be as successful as he is (but in my field larh, not establishing another airline). I'd like to dream big too and achieve my goals, just like he did. STARTING WITH SEMESTER 5. You gotta start somewhere right? Haha.


Mega n00bz crashing the part-ayyy!


The man of the hour, giving his talk.

On another note, I have less than 3 weeks left til classes start again ~EXCITED~ Don't get me wrong, I'm totally enjoying my holidays, getting to sleep and bum around. When will I ever get to do this when classes start again right? But my need to do work is growing with every passing day. Haha! The drive to do better this year is getting stronger! Awh yeah!

But before I start classes, I thought of working at Gushcloud for the next 3 weeks. Since I have absolutely nothing to do and well Gushcloud pays RM 5 an hour, their office is in Empire and the time is so mega flexible that I can go in whenever I want and leave before or by 8pm. Sensational! Pushing my ambivalence aside, I will march into that office and be the brave, "friendly" person I am capable of being! Make new friends and learn new things! :D

Negativity

I can't wait til Semester 5 starts. Soon, it'd be my last semester and I would have completed my degree. Time will pass by real fast, and I'll be closer to flying outta this country. Can't wait to leave everything behind and start off fresh elsewhere. Getting tired of everything here.

Tired of all the pessimism.
The unreliability.
The doubts.
The attitudes.
The narrow-mindedness.

I am especially tired of people not listening to me because they think I know nothing. The worst is when someone requests for my opinion or advice, but decides to completely ignore it right after I've carefully composed it and given it to them.

I need to be somewhere healthier, and I will work my way towards it, work really hard, to get that 3.5 CGPA and get that scholarship, even though some feel I don't deserve it ... well, whatever, screw you.

Sometimes I wonder why I decided to stay in Malaysia this year. I could be preparing myself for my departure to Scotland this September like right nao. But I chose not to go. Why? Whyyyyy Sarah Ahmad? Feels like a step backwards. Could possibly be regretting my decision. In fact, I am regretting it.


Some Big Bang to lighten up the mood.

KONY2012

I created a NEWS:REMIX on Says.my (link is below), to spread the news about KONY2012. I'd really appreciate it if everyone would show some support by sharing the link, videos and articles about Kony and possibly donate any sum of money to the Invisible Children's funds.

CLICK HERE TO FIND OUT MORE ABOUT JOSEPH KONY!

I've put videos, links to their social websites (their official sites, Twitter, FB) so everything should be easy for everyone. Every little bit of support counts, even if it's just sharing the video with your friends.




Thought of the day; I really don't understand some people. When a great cause goes viral on the internet, you complain and call people posers. Say that it won't make a difference if you spread awareness, say it won't stop bad things from happening. Where are your good intentions? Why must one be so skeptical and pessimistic about something that could lead to good? I really can't fathom the idea.

And I really don't know how to accept when someone is so indifferent to something so tragic. For example, whart Kony is doing and has been doing to the children in Uganda. Can't you take 2 minutes away from your life to show some compassion? Maybe try to imagine your future children or your siblings being taken away from you, forced into an army of rebels to mutilate and kill people or become sex slaves. I wouldn't want that for my family. So I believe that little things can help, like spreading awareness. At least you help spread the news somehow.

And I don't know whart to say about the people who seriously oppose this campaign. The creators probably had the best intentions of actually making a difference in Africa, literally saving the lives of these children, build schools, rehabilitate and protect them, and yet there are still people who accuse the campaign of being some sort of conspiracy between them and the U.S. government.

Yeah yeah. This world is coming to an end. Nothing can be saved. Everything should just go down a shithole and be lost forever in eternal damnation. Why should anyone care about humanity or the world in which we live in? Seems like many people seem to be thinking this way. Fucked up mentality.

WRONG TIME MAN. PMS IS SHIT RIGHT NAO.

CRAP THAT I BOUGHT VIDEO

I have no life. I have too much time. I am too bored. I should go shower.
HAPPY NEW MONTH! 3RD MONTH OF THE YEAR! HOW EXCITING! An exaggeration on my part.


KAY BAIII.
