new year 2013 :)

the best of 2013

ohh gosh i haven't been writing for so long, i can't remember how to write anymore. anyways, its the end of 2013 and this year was really busy for me. throughout the year, i felt like i had accomplished so many things (more than last year, and the previous year..) like in my studies, in my sports (where i compete in 4 championships, and won medals), with my videos (one which i did won for a competition);  all these things really make me feel good about myself. and with all this i have learn that believing in my own potential is vital, and that i have become stronger, better, and more confident as a person. indeed, 2013 was really a good year for me.

theres a lot more to say but these were the best out of the best, see you really soon next year, in 2014, and this is it, yeah. bye! :)

the final countdown

new semester begins.

just finished with exam and interfaculty championship. this was my first championship against amazing sprinters representing their respective faculty (it is a big thing) and also I represent my faculty and my country too! that is indeed a very very very very bigggg thing. i was really really scared i can't feel my limbs and i don't know what to do at the starting line while waiting for the competition to begin.

that feeling when you compete against girl version of usain bolt.

it was indeed a tough race, but the feeling when u finished the race, and captain from other faculty spoke of how good you are, that is just mind blowing.

captain said that if i continue to train hard for the next couple of months, i might join the relay team for the national! 

so yeah, keep training…if your legs get tired, run with your heart :)

surprises: the new film maker

i was so thrilled when i first got my nikon camera from a friend as my birthday present last year. so this is how it took me from a noob photographer to a good videographer and film maker. (good for my level of noobness that is *wink*)

we attended our seniors graduation day. happy happy moments, graduates with proud parents, bla bla bla throwing mortarboard in the air, happy happy bla bla...the honouring ceremony when my senior went up the stairs and on the stage to receive the honour, i looked around, numerous camera flashes, snapped here there everywhere. when i saw that precious moment that cant be captured by just printing a 4R sized picture, i quickly record that moment. that is when i realised theres a lot of things in life that are meaningful, beautiful and precious to be recorded so as not to waste that few seconds of life. so yeah, from there i developed my video making skills;  32 home videos, 17 featured short films, all within 8 months. from only few viewers from family and friends to 4200 viewers on youtube, this was an explosive accomplishment for me.

it was an honour from a friend asking me to make a short film about their love story to be posted on their wedding day this september.
so now im busy making schedule for shooting times around alexandrias iconic places. oh and also i will be competing in a short film competition held by our batch, so yeah. tadaaa!


p/s: i want a waterproof cover for my camera so i can shoot underwater please. teehee :)

surprises: hall of fame

oh my, its already JUNE! 

well hello there! i have been quite busy for this couple of months with training, birthday parties, video making, business, studies. and thats a lot. i dont even know where to begin. *updates*

okay, let me remind myself from my 2013 resolution. remember this?

"The key for Chinese 2013 horoscope for Rabbit is to think carefully about whatever decisions you're making. Don't rush into anything, and always make sure that you're doing what you're doing for the right reasons. That said, don't let this paralyze you. Your goal for the 2013 year of the black Snake should be to find balance. Find the balance between love and work, and find the balance between over-thinking things too much and not thinking them through enough."

 it didnt cross my mind at all but now after 5 months, it all somehow became true, and it really makes sense! *aisha muhammads a series of unfortunate events*

heres the story:

last month, i started training for track events particularly sprinting; for the upcoming 2 championships. but unfortunately i missed the first championship because i havent got back from amsterdam. luckily, i managed to participate for the next championship, and won gold. hooray!

the surprise: last 2 months, ika and i, we occasionally jogged at the stadium. #fun #fitness # beskinny # gottohaveskinnylegs. suddenly came this particular day; we jogged at the track field, while looking at other joggers you can tell whos who determined to lose (weight) or to win (gold). somewhere between the warm evening sun rays there was a ray of hope for ika to participate for sports event which i doubt there will not be any for this year. while ika was between the sun rays i was caught up between the clouds reminiscing the glory days of sprinting. and so after ten laps of jogging, i felt like doing sprint and so we sprint 100m. and thats where a coach who was training other runners at that time saw me and took me to join the team. blimey! cant believe myself and my potential! and so the journey towards becoming a true sprinter began....... and with intensive 2 hour/three times a week strenuous training session, i am what i am today. (motivation words i supposed. haha)

coach says im still in training till next year to prepare me for the upcoming championships and who knows if i am really good i can represent alexandria. *shocked with mouth wide open* its like im representing selangor!

to be continued...
