Back to me

BACK TO ME by Khairuldeen and Zaharah.

Kring, kring,

“Morning class,” Mr. James said. By wearing a pair of dark jeans, stripes shirt with messy hairstyle, these hardly show that he’s actually a teacher. He’s standing next to his desk, waiting for the rackety class to be as calm as toad in the sun. “Students, I’ve got something for you,” heading towards the dingy white board. “Final assignment,” written in bright reddish colour. Mr. James love to write in red. Sometimes it is annoying. Suddenly, a girl comes in heading towards Mr. James. The students look at each other, wondering who that girl is. She wearing an off-shoulder tee match with dark Guess jeans and Jimmy Choos’ pointed-toe flats indicates that she is from some wealthy family.

“Attention, this is Ms. Keira Anderson,” Mr. James began. “Ms. Anderson here is a transferred student from Milan, Italy and she’s an American so that’s why her name, well you know. Apparently, her family moved here just by last week. So I guess you’re going to be with us until graduation then.” Keira is then showed to her sit, fourth row near the window. Most of the students are staring at her, maybe because she’s remarkably fashionable and pretty. “Just like an angel.” Murmured some student at the back.

15 minutes before the class ended, Mr. James distributes some papers to the students. “Fill these up. Write up yours and your partner name. Submit in now”. The students have been assigned to find out more about their partner; their habits, life style, and relate it to all that they’ve learned throughout the semester. They are given a month to complete it. Keira is paired with Bryan who’s sit beside her. Both smiled.

During lunch, both Keira and Bryan sit together. Dark haired, tall, athletic body shaped, Bryan, despite being one of the school heartthrobs, he’s still an ordinary guy. “Cheerleaders, football team, the musical members are basically the popular one. While the nerdy, geeks, less popular, I guess. There, the emotionally unstable groups. Never mess up with them.” Bryan said while pointing to each of the groups. Keira took out a piece of paper and a pen, the write something on it. Shy but talkative. “There, something I’ve just discovered about you” After almost an hour of conversation, they exchange their contacts’ before heading to their next class.

It is Saturday afternoon. It has been raining for last couple of days. “Are you sure with our plan today? It is pouring out there.” Bryan was talked with Keira on the phone. “Okay then, I’ll pick you up in 15 minutes.” Bryan ended their conversations. They decided to hang out, trying to know each other.

Keira is bringing Bryan into one of the stores. It is full with any kind of books even the very very old ones. The musty, dusty smells of books is everywhere, strong but calming too. Keira loves to read, a lot. She’s even had has her own mini library back in Milan. She explained how novels make her feel happy, as it completed her. They spend half of the day just being inside the store. Keira bought three novels. Bryan wrote inside his notebook. They both have a notebook for the work.

“My turn,” Bryan swiftly moved to Kiera. He brings her to his house. Nobody is at home. His parents are both working. There is a small basketball court at back of the house. Bryan is in the school basketball team. “Please, have a sit and excuse me for a minute.” Bryan then went upstairs. Keira looked around and noticed the family photos. There is Bryan with his parents and a little girl. It seems like he’s only thirteen at the time. There are also some trophies he won from the match.

As Keira viewed around, Bryan suddenly takes her hand and brings her to the court. He teaches her basketball and before they know it, it’s already dusk. He invited her for a dinner before heading home. He cooks while Kiera clean herself. Half an hour later, Kiera comes for dinner. She looks a bit different without all those make ups on her. She looks younger and prettier. Bryan was so amazed he almost tripped himself. As they having their dinner, Kiera asked him about his family photo, the one with the little girl in it. Apparently, that girl was Bryan’s little sister. She died when he was fourteen, because of cancer.

Two weeks since they met each other and them both feel different about their relationship. One day, Keira asked Bryan to watch movie together. Since then, they are always seen together and Kiera constantly comes to his matches. Everybody know they are in love with each other except themselves.

The Anderson’s house is just at the corner of the street. It has this little fountain embrace with vivid flowers. It is Bryan first visit to the house. Usually he just drops her at the street of the house. He never got the chance to meet her family. Keira opened the door, welcoming him with a hug. Bryan meets her family, her mother, Elizabeth and her little sister, Jessica. As they having their dinner, Bryan been asked by Elizabeth about his future, which college he’s going to enter, his dream jobs, his plans. Bryan, although been unprepared for those kinds of conversations, is frankly answers it.

Later, Elizabeth asked Bryan again, “Bryan darling, tell us about your family. Maybe one day we can meet them. How long have you live here?” Bryan paused for a while. Despite being exasperated by Elizabeth, Bryan calmly replied it knowing Elizabeth’s reaction afterward. Bryan indeed is different with the Anderson’s family. “Oh, what a surprise. Keira is lucky having you around her.” Said Elizabeth mordantly. The gratifying dinner suddenly becomes silent. In spite of this, they just continued their dinner. “Thanks for the dinner Mrs. Anderson, Jessica, Keira.” Bryan, accompanied by Keira, walks towards the door. Keira apologized for her mother’s behavior.

During breakfast, Elizabeth told Keira to leave Bryan, “He’s just not the right guy for you. Leave him, I’ve already told your father that you’re heading back to Milan in two weeks”. Keira, stunned with her mother, nodded. She must agree with her because she is her mother. The one she’s look up to despite her father, of course. At school, Bryan hardly talks to Keira. She was keep avoiding him even during classes. She will sit at the corner of the class and during break, she’s did not even go to the café.

Bryan waited at the side of the road. Staring at Keira’s house, hopefully able to meet her. Few minutes later, he saw Keira walked towards her house. He was rushing over her. He was questioned her straight away. Keira explained her situation, how they are not meant together. There are tears coming out from her and Bryan comforted her. He realizes these will eventually happen and accepted it. He knew it from the way Elizabeth confronted him. Both Keira and Bryan know they are too young for a relationship. They are only 17 at that time. Although Keira have explained everything to him, there is one thing she did not mention, the fact that she is leaving America. It would be too hurtful for him. She did not want to see him inconsolable.

It is raining outside. Bryan sat at the side of the class. He did not pay attention to the class; he never did after he last saw Keira. Suddenly he received a piece of paper by a girl sit beside him. She is Keira friend. “It is not too late. You still manage to meet her. Go now. I’ll cover for you.” written on note. He looked at his watch, thinking will he make it, can he ever get out of the class. It is nearly 5 minute before the next class. Bryan headed to Keira’s house and discovered that she’s gone. Jessica handed a letter to Bryan, saying it is from her sister.

A week later, the classes have to present their work alongside their partner. Bryan however has to do it by himself. Everybody knows about the leaving. He presented his work in form of video. There are some photos of Keira taken candidly. At the end, Bryan said in how much Keira meant to him, how she affected his life, and is grateful for knowing her.

It has been five years since Bryan last saw Keira. He entered the bookstore, the one they always visit. He is looking for a book, the one on structural design, as he is now an architect. As he searching for the book, he saw a young woman, wearing a silver bracelet with book shaped locket, which looks exactly like the one he gave to Keira. He walks anxiously toward her. He did not get to see that woman face. All he saw, she is wearing a dark colored jacket with a pair of jeans. Bryan reached her from behind only to realize that he got the wrong person and she did not even wear the bracelet. Maybe he’s imaginings it? Quickly he apologized to her and walks away.

Bryan finally found the book and bought it. Outside the store, he saw that woman again, wearing that bracelet. He came towards her. It looks like she is indeed waiting for Bryan. “Keira?” The woman looks at him, and they both smiled.

Billionaire - Travie McCoy Featuring Bruno Mars Lyric

I wanna be a billionaire so fricking bad

Buy all of the things I never had

Uh, I wanna be on the cover of Forbes magazine

Smiling next to Oprah and the Queen

[Chorus]

Oh every time I close my eyes

I see my name in shining lights

A different city every night oh

I swear the world better prepare

For when I’m a billionaire

Yeah I would have a show like Oprah

I would be the host of, everyday Christmas

Give Travie a wish list

I’d probably pull an Angelina and Brad Pitt

And adopt a bunch of babies that ain’t never had sh-t

Give away a few Mercedes like here lady have this

And last but not least grant somebody their last wish

Its been a couple months since I’ve single so

You can call me Travie Claus minus the Ho Ho

Get it, hehe, I’d probably visit where Katrina hit

And damn sure do a lot more than FEMA did

Yeah can’t forget about me stupid

Everywhere I go Imma have my own theme music

Oh every time I close my eyes

I see my name in shining lights

A different city every night oh

I swear the world better prepare

For when I’m a billionaire

Oh oooh oh oooh for when I’m a Billionaire

Oh oooh oh oooh for when I’m a Billionaire

I’ll be playing basketball with the President

Dunking on his delegates

Then I’ll compliment him on his political etiquette

Toss a couple milli in the air just for the heck of it

But keep the fives, twentys completely separate

And yeah I’ll be in a whole new tax bracket

We in recession but let me take a crack at it

I’ll probably take whatevers left and just split it up

So everybody that I love can have a couple bucks

And not a single tummy around me would know what hungry was

Eating good sleeping soundly

I know we all have a similar dream

Go in your pocket pull out your wallet

And put it in the air and sing

I wanna be a billionaire so fricking bad

Buy all of the things I never had

Uh, I wanna be on the cover of Forbes magazine

Smiling next to Oprah and the Queen

[Chorus]

I wanna be a billionaire so frickin bad!

Ketupat

When talk about ketupat, it must be common known in any Raya Day.

Then everybody will ask "Can u make ketupat?? @ Kamu boleh menganyam ketupat??"

That is the common question that everyone will ask.

Because nowadays, not all can weave ketupat.

I'm so lucky because i can weave.

Few days ago about last Sunday morning, i join competition on weaving ketupat for 'UNIMAS EIDULFITRI FESTIVAL'.

I represent my college, Cempaka College for the competition.

Because its a group competition, so we need to consider our partners.

We had done our best.

To all, try to learn to weave anything especially Ketupat.

~GUDLUCK FOR LEARNING~

Coca-Cola Effect

As what the video demo, coca-cola has element that can damage our organ in our body if we frequently drink it.
As coca-cola is also a familiar and common drink in this world, we can drink it.
But....
In a small quantity and the important is do not drink it frequently.
Just drink it sometimes only.
REMEMBER!!!
THE BEST IS THE WORST!!!

Airmata Syawal Lirik

Airmata Syawal - Siti Nurhaliza

Sayu… hati ini makin sayup

Rindu… terkenangkan desa permai

Wajah ayah bonda bermain di mata

Mengajak ku pulang ke desa

Di hari bahagia hari raya

Lama kutunggu

Bertemu di pagi mulia

Namun tidak kesampaian

Airmata jatuh berlinangan

Kuingin berulang manisnya bersama

Menyambut hari bahgia

Jarak memisahkan rindu pertemuan

Bilakah hasrat jadi nyata

Duhai ayah bonda ampunkan anakanda

Tak dapat beraya bersama

Jauh dari mata dekat dalam jiwa

Teguh kasihku tidak berubah

Lama kutunggu

Bertemu di pagi mulia

Namun tidak kesampaian

Airmata jatuh berlinangan

Kuingin berulang manisnya bersama

Menyambut hari bahgia

Jarak memisahkan rindu pertemuan

Bilakah hasrat jadi nyata

Duhai ayah bonda ampunkan anakanda

Tak dapat beraya bersama

Jauh dari mata dekat dalam jiwa

Teguh kasihku tidak berubah

Sayu… hati ini makin sayup

Rindu… terkenangkan desa permai

Wajah ayah bonda bermain di mata

Mengajak ku pulang ke desa

Di hari bahagia hari raya...

Angiosarcoma

Angiosarcoma is one of the most devastating and lethal types of cancer.

It begins as a growth within blood vessels, but can quickly become cancerous and spread to many other systems.

Like most forms of cancer, Angiosarcoma is uncontrolled cell replication, but its relation to the circulatory system pose unique threats to the health of any individual.

Any malignant condition that affects the blood is extremely dangerous, for it is quite easy for the cancerous cells to “mestastize,” or spread cancer to other, healthy systems.

Because angiosarcoma affects blood vessels, this type of cancer often proves to be aggressive, difficult to treat, and recurs often.

It has the potential to occur in any part of the body, often without warning, and is frequently without symptoms until there is a serious medical emergency.

Although angiosarcoma has the potential to affect any part of the body at any time, there are certain areas it occurs more often. Some of these places include:

Soft tissues: muscles, blood vessels, virtually anywhere the skin, liver, spleen, bone, lungs and heart.

In some cases, unfortunate victims develop angiosarcoma in the linings of the lymph system, vital organs responsible for the distribution of antibodies and disease-fighting agents throughout the body.

Any time a cancer affects a system that is responsible for distributing chemicals throughout the body, such as blood or lymph, its lethality increases exponentially.

Tragically, angiosarcoma is one of the most insidious cancers imaginable, not only for the damage it causes but also due to the fact that it does not respond well to conventional therapies that are used to aggressively attack other cancerous conditions.

Further complicating treatment is the fact that angiosarcoma is extremely rare because only 20-60 new cases are diagnosed every year, understanding and treating this devastating condition is extremely difficult.

The combination of a rare condition and aggressive growth make angiosarcoma one of the deadliest cancers in the world.

...................................................

The point that i post this article is because one of my friend is suffering this type of cancer as told by my friend.

Hope that God will be there to help him.

"Harap doakan kesihatan beliau untuk cepat sembuh dari penyakit yang tidak sepatutnya singgah pada tubuh beliau."

We will pray for you my friend.

AMIN~
