Graduated... at last!!

After a VERY long but seemed short five years, I finally have my diploma. Lama gila! undoubtedly, but I never regretted entering architecture, being apart of ArchiCrux. or changing my course after five semester. Well, not that much. I guess I just kept on thinking positively. I treasure each and every memory and each and every person that had ever crossed my path.

Today marks the day when Nurliyana binti Yusnaidi, a.k.a Nana Eddy graduated! The ceremony was elaborate and meaningful as always. I received my first ever flowers from my most important persons. My parents and dearest siblings. They were there for me. Despite being absolutely lazy to wake up in the morning and having to skip work. Luv you guys soo much! xoxo mmmuahks!

And of course, there were a friends to celebrate it with. Congrats to you too my friends :) Let's pave our own way in our own time, and make it BIG!!!

 Just another day in the adventurous life of the brat with opinions :)

Mess-aging Mania

Today's post gonna be a long one. Mark my words! But please, do read till the end :)

Messaging, texting, SMS, whatever you call it, is DEFINITELY a phenomenon. Basically, it's the hand phone itself that is the mania. I mean, u could literally look around you and see everywhere, there'd be someone on the phone.

While driving

While Cycling

on the Bike

While Walking

While with friends

While Eating

yup.. even kids.

Basically, it's an essential, a need. Let's just say, you walk out of your home, lock the doors, and went down two level of stairs and realize, "damn! I left my notes!" You would probably think twice about going back up. Most of us (I believe) would just let it be, creating some kind of solution for the inconvenience. Then let's say then, after four levels of stairs, u are just entering your car when you realized, "Oh ****!! My HANDPHONE!" what would you do? 

My guess is, you'd go up and retrieve the handphone. You might still forget to get your notes, even then. But NEVER the handphone. 

Dedication to my Momma

It's mother's day... I love my mom SOOOO much. What else could I say?

Dark crossroads

Stumbling with each step

Bruised at every corner

Broken at every end

Rainfall heavy on the heart

Teardrops glistening threatening to fall

Yet with gritted teeth and clenched fist

Get back up and stand so tall.

Momma I'm coming back

To where you are 

To the home in my heart

and Momma please held me tight

Even with a scar

I know I'll be alright

I am what I am today because of her. Through the hard times, through the best times, she was there.
I might not be what she expects me to be but, all the same she loved me. Momma, wait a little bit. I'll make you proud. This I promise.

I love you momma :)
Still bratty even when I'm eighty,

"How many lives have I touched? Did I touched yours?"

"How many lives have I touched? Did I touched yours?"

I watched numb3rs on my AXN channel and this particular line that Prof. Charlie Eppes wrote caught my attention.

According to him (or whoever the scriptwriter is),

"Had we done something that would be remembered? Will we be remembered?"

Honestly, I don't know whether I want to be remembered, and if I do, as what do I want to be remembered? people said that if u were nice (unless you are some sort of a hero), the only thing that people will say "ahhh... she's such a nice person" on the funeral day or maybe the week. but soon, people will stop talking and start forgetting. If you're bad, people would forever remember your mischievousness even long after you're gone. So do I want to be remembered at all if those are the only choices I have?

  Good vs Evil by Sugargrl14

I guess, I would never really know for sure. I am just living the day by day. Perhaps, I want to be remembered as someone who made some difference in someone's life. I wonder, how many lives has I touched?

Did I touched yours?

"Mungkin Kau kan Ku Tinggalkan Bila Tak Cantik Lagi??"

Mungkin Kau kan Ku Tinggalkan Bila Tak Cantik lagi.... One line from the lyrics of ST 12, Tak Dapat Apa-Apa 
which don't really make sense to me. Well the whole song doesn't make any sense to me. I mean, are you saying that you will leave me if I somehow become defamed? When I am no longer beautiful to you? Are you trying to get with me or jeopardize you chance??? - well, something like that.

I guess, truth is, it's not so weird. Humans naturally are attracted to beauty. Only, beauty is different to different people. Beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder... One man's trash could be another man's treasure. For me, you could never value one's beauty unless you get to know them first. For example, if asked physically, what is my ideal type? I would say beautiful guys who can rival women if they just doll up a bit. Like these guys.

Lee Jun Ki (Korean actor & singer)

Miyavi (Japanese Rock Star)

 Young Woong Jae Joong (Korean Boy Band)

Some people would say, "OMG that is so HOT", some would say "They look sissy" another one once said to me "Yeah, and they all f*** from the back". But I said, "those are just guys I like to look at, like eye candies".

Realistically speaking, in my (almost) 24 years of life, I never had crushes with guys who look like that. I do have guy acquaintances and friends who is much more prettier than me (which isn't such a difficult thing to find) but for some reason, I only like to look at them but never fall for them. In my own experience I fell for guys because of their personality, and how they make me feel when I'm with them. Their looks are not important anymore.

That doesn't apply to just falling for someone. It also applies to when we try to judge people, when we want to choose friends or acquaintance. Sure, first impressions are important, but they aren't everything.  There's always something more beneath the surface of it.

I am a firm believer of "Beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder". And thus because of that, I try not to diss or ignore or discriminate someone according to how they look. You should too. After all, appearance could be very deceiving.

It's a short post. Just a thought, form a brat with opinions,

Battle of the Sexes

Hellooo again!! yup, for sure I had been AWOL from my blog for a while (I need an official leave from being absent from my blog??). Like I've said I'm a super lazy writer who wants to maintain a blog... (hmm.. ironic) Plus, there had not been any 'juicy' issues that attracted my attention. However, today, as I was browsing through my dearest childhood friend's blog, Munirah, something just caught my attention. Just thought I'd share with you guys.

SUPER WOMEN

Whatever u give a woman, she will make it greater.

Give her sperm, she will give u a baby.

Give her a house, she will give u a home.

Give her groceries, she will give u a meal.

Give her a smile n she will give u her heart.

She multiplies and enlarges what she is given.

So if u give her crap, be ready to receive a ton of shit…

So very true!! don't you agree?? haha... I don't know about other girls, but I know for the last sentence, it applies 100% to me.

Hey, for sure I am an easy going person. I will be a great companion to laugh with and a fun friend to be with (alamak puji diri sendiri plak :p). Even my mom rarely sees me in any other mood except from happy (apart from lazy and sometimes highly annoyed). but DO NOT CROSS me. If you do, you better wish REALLY hard that you won't EVER cross my way again. I'll make your life a living hell (and that's a vow! hoho )

Well, I'm not actually that difficult really. I may be VERY angry but a simple 'sorry' would've been enough to cool me down. The problem is (especially with guys) they either rarely ever say 'sorry' or they say it too much to mean anything (some of them, some are just fine and sweet)

 This is so sweet...

In the first scenario, they know they are wrong, they tell their friends that they regretted it, but they never tell they're sorry to the person they have wronged. I mean, what's with this misplaced egoism? It's never going to help anyone. I repeat NEVER.

The second one is just as equally annoying. The guy have no stand or dignity at all. Or, he's such a sweet talker and 'sorry' is just another empty words. They never mean it and they keep on doing it again and again.

Yup. Women are difficult being. I agree, but so are Men. So, a much more suitable phrase would be 'humans' generally are difficult being. Back to my topic, battle of the sexes (finally)

Battle of the sexes...

Just recently I was assigned to do an assignment on the 'Muted Group Theory' by Cheris Kramarae. I'll just skim over the details so you won't be too bored reading this. Anyway, it basically says that women are finding it hard to express themselves (publicly) or send across what they meant to male dominated world because the words are not created by them. The words as we know today are created by men to benefit men and women are just the 'sidekicks' in terms of language.

The most clear example I can give here is why is it always "History" and not "Herstory"? or why is there a polite way to adrdess a person as "Tuan Hamba" but "Puan Hamba" just sound like addressing slaves? and why Mr/Encik can be used to a guy whether they are married or not, why must there be a Miss or Mrs/Cik or Puan to differentiate women's status and the list goes on.

 men vs women

Doesn't it make you wonder how true it is? For a feminist, this is such a discrimination. For me? Well, I am no feminist. I agree that to a certain extent, women need to have their freedom, need to be able to be independent, but not thoroughly.

I mean, I really don't get this feminism thing. They wanted to be treated equally but at the same time they expect men to be the gentlemen, pamper them and never hit them. Oy oy.. I'm not saying abuse is right (far from it, God forbid), but men fight with men all the time. To be treated equally means you can't complain when they fight you.  And, what? you want them to open the doors for you, let you through first, pay the bills, calls you first and then you ask to be treated equally? They NEVER treat any men like that. Which one do you want? To be treated as woman or to be treated like men? Come on woman, MAKE UP YOUR MIND!!

In terms of intellectual and ability to work, I am all up for equality. Don't just dismiss a thought just because it came from a female. NEWSFLASH, we were given BRAINS as well - and we could use it just as good as use yours - in nowadays life, sometimes, better. Don't go rambling on me about how men are born superior than women, bla, bla, bla. I already know that but HELLO!!! wake up and look around, majority of those who populate the higher learning is WOMEN, the ones who populates the pusat serenti and jails are MEN. While we women are breaking our backs and necks (and whatever else there is to break) trying to earn a living, or to study as good as we can so that we could have a better lives, you guys just went on destroying yourselves with drugs, rempits, clubs, gambling, smoking, and the list goes on and on. Really, if you want respect, sure we will give you respect, but just AS SOON AS YOU DESERVE IT!!

I am contradicting my self a lot here huh? Like always, I get carried away while writing. Again, the post is SO LONG! Anyway, what I want to point out is just this, to be FAIR, you CANNOT be EQUAL. Equality never means it is fair. Feminism should focus more on being treated fairly instead of equally. By fair I mean, giving just enough to fit the person's needs. Yes, men can live without women and vice versa. But none of them will be complete without the other. Without each, none would produce such beautiful smiles as this,

No matter how different they are,

or how they perceive the other,

none would be as contented with their lives like this without the other,

Just some thoughts from a brat. I'm me, a brat with opinions.
