What positive effects does America's Next Top Model bring to us?





One morning, Meghan (my ESL instructor) told me and my classmates to search a topic that seems to catch our interest. Hmmm...I was thinking what kind of stuff attracts me the most??? SHIT, I didn't even have a single idea at that time. I tried to search an interesting topic regarding fashion world or anything related to it...finally, America's Next Top Model came across my mind. To be honest, I'm not a big fan of ANTM but I did watch some episodes and I love Tyra Bank! Another problem arose, what should I say about ANTM? The participants? Tyra Bank? Nigel Barker? Miss J (euhh)? But, I am not gonna write a biography...so, I was thinking why don't I make a research on the impacts of ANTM to society...brilliant! Haha

However, I guess this topic is fresh and it is difficult to find credible articles and sources. But, I won't give up and I would give it a try. For the time being, I would like to focus on the positive effects of ANTM and I have few ideas such as discrimination (everyone has equal opportunity to participate), values (e.g anti-smoking photoshoot), benefits on modeling world, grooming, and some more. If you have any idea, please help me! Be my angel!

They were once seen in TV...now they are in front of me!


October 17-18, 2008
They were two awesome days!!! I went to Washington DC to celebrate raya at Malaysia Embassy with other Penn Staters and some Malaysians in the US. It was such a great occasion except those speeches at the beginning of the event. Well nobody would listen when everyone was so excited meeting his/her old friends. Finally, I met lemang and sate this year...hilang kempunan, besides, they also served variety of kuih raya, nasi beriani and rendang. At first, the foods made me felt like home but the chilly breeze blowed the feeling away. WTF. spoil giler but overall, i loved to be there and i enjoyed every moment i spent with my friends.


After the 'finger licking good' session ended, we drove straight away to the historical and memorial places in DC. That was the perfect moment in my life. It was a dream came true. It was fantastic. I got the chance to see
the Lincoln Memorial, Washington Monument, Jefferson Memorial and walk by the Franklin D Roosevelt Memorial Park...everything that I saw in the TV was in front of me on that amazing moment. Unfortunately, I missed the chance to see White House because we didn't have enough time. But nevermind, I am willing to travel more than 4 hrs just to see the next US President walking down the White House's front stairs.

Kesepianku...

Bisikku pada bulan
Kembalikan
Temanku
Kekasihku
Syurgaku

Tanpa dia
Malam menemaniku
Sepi memelukku
Bulan jangan biar siang
Biar alam ini kelam
Biar ia sepi...sepertiku

Tika ku rungkai jendela suram, tersingkap kenangan silam. Mindaku dibawa terbang melayang, kembali ke tanah asal, Terbayang wajah insan-insan yang ku sayang

Ayah...ibu,
Pesan kalian menerjah gegendang telingaku;
abang, jangan tinggal solat, banyakkan berdoa, jaga diri elok-elok...
Satu persatu madah mereka ku hayati, ku renungi, ku genggami

Namun, hatiku kerap kali menangis, pabila satu pesanan mereka, singgah di benakku;
abang, kalau ibu atau ayah pergi menemui Ilahi,jangan susah-susah kembali,
cukuplah sekadar doa yang mengiringi...

Sesungguhnya, inilah perkara yang paling aku geruni
Tapi, semua itu di bawah ketentuan yang Maha Esa, tiada siapa yang bisa menjangka, apatah lagi mengubahnya...semua kekuasaanNya

Ya Allah, berikanlah aku kekuatan agar aku bisa mengharungi seribu satu cabaran sepanjang jalanku menimba ilmu dan pengalaman di tempat orang

Hidup...tak selalu cerah, gelap itu lumrah, sinar itu anugerah
Aku...tak selalu ceria, sepi itu jalanku, bahagia itu destinasiku
Harapanku...agar jalanku mudah, padamkan sinar itu jika ia bukan milikku,
Tapi...kirimkan aku kesepian bulan, menjadi temanku sepanjang jalan...

Love at the first sight...FALL


In the middle of October...
Leaves have started to turn yellow, brown, and even red. Fall is such a pretty season though the temperature drops to as low as 0 degree celcius (so far). I am so impressed and amazed by its beauty. I swear, I'll miss Fall. I am so grateful to be given the opportunity to see the falling yellow leaves and feel the chilly fall breeze. I guess pictures will best tell you how much I love Fall. I love you, Fall...









Fall for you

The best thing about tonight's that we're not fighting
Could it be that we have been this way before?
I know you don't think that I am trying
I know you're wearing thin down to the core

But hold your breath
Because tonight will be the night
That I will fall for you over again
Don't make me change my mind

Or I won't live to see another day
I swear it's true
Because a girl like you's impossible to find
You're impossible to find

This is not what I intended
I always swore to you I'd never fall apart
You always thought that I was stronger
I may have failed, but I have loved you from the start

Oh, but hold your breath
Because tonight will be the night
That I will fall for you over again
Don't make me change my mind

Or I won't live to see another day
I swear it's true
Because a girl like you's impossible to find
It's impossible

So breathe in so deep
Breathe me in, I'm yours to keep
And hold on to your words 'cause talk is cheap
And remember me tonight when you're asleep

Because tonight will be the night
That I will fall for you over again
Don't make me change my mind

Or I won't live to see another day
I swear it's true
Because a girl like you's impossible to find

Tonight will be the night
That I will fall for you over again
Don't make me change my mind

Or I won't live to see another day
I swear it's true
Because a girl like you's impossible to find
You're impossible to find

Work @ Simmons dining hall

Hi all,

USD7.75 per hour for doing a simple or in a rude word 'a low-class job' is really cool!
As compared to Malaysia, we will be paid for only RM3 - RM5 for doing this kind of job. That's pathetic! There are couple reasons why I decided to work.

First - MONEY!!! I'm craving for dollars to do shopping, traveling, and other cool stuff! Well, I'm not hot enough to be a money boy. LOL, just kidding.

Second - SSN (Social security number). Working is an easy way to obtain an SSN.

Third - FRIENDS. This is a great way to get myself out from the crowd (Malaysians) and mingle with Americans and other international students. But, Malaysians remain on top of my heart.

Fourth - EXPERIENCE. This is a great opportunity to gain more and more working experience. Start from below and then succeed when we are on top!

and more reasons...

Although working part time is a bit tiring, I believe that every single calory I burn is worth thousands benefits in turn. Till then, have a great day!

Raya di Penn State


Salam and hi everyone,
This morning, muslims at Penn State were celebrating eid mubarak. It was a simple yet memorable celebration. We started to pray at 8.05am at the Spiritual Center in campus. During the khutbah, i was thinking about Malaysian foods, rendang, ketupat, nasi himpit with sambal kacang and kuah lodeh-the must have foods.

Then we had our breakfast which was prepared by pak Arabs and to be honest, I don't like their foods. Well, I have a malay tongue which will only love malay foods. But I enjoyed eating the foods. After filling up my hungry stomach, I snapped pictures to keep all these memories still in the frames.

After classes, my friends and I 'cam whored' around campus and we captured some beautiful shots. You may see those pictures in my facebook or friendster and don't forget to leave comments! W-O-W
