Inspired by Katy Perry's The One That Got Away.

And in another life, I would be your girl
We keep all our promises, be us against the world
And in other life I would make you stay
So I don't have to say you were the one that got away

“Ron, do you have time now?” asked Hermione hopefully.

“Sorry, I got Quidditch practice now, what is it?”

“But you practiced the whole day yesterday…we barely hang out!”

“Hermione, we barely have enough time for the match against Durmstrang. What is it that you want to tell me that’s more important than this? I don’t want to get bloody beaten up by those blokes. You know how much I despise them,” Ron said impatiently

“Oh, never mind!” Hermione said and run hurriedly out of Gryffindor Common Room.

Lately, Harry and Ron have been up and about with the match that they barely have time for Hermione. It’s not that she can’t hang out with Lavender Brown and the Patil’s sisters. It’s just that, she is more comfortable with Harry and Ron. They have been inseparable since their first year at Hogwarts. Ginny on the other hand spends more time with Dean Thomas. Although they invited her to hang with them but the thought of being a third party and seeing their public displays of affection makes her curl.

Now, in their final year, Ron joined Harry as the Quidditch keeper, they spend most of their time in the field together. Of course Hermione visit them occasionally, cheering them on the stand, but when it’s over they are too tired to even have small talk with her. That made her upset. Plus, Hermione heard Ron talking to Neville about being a Quidditch player seriously. Although Ron joked about it, he at least has thought about it. Hermione remembered in their fifth year when Harry lead them in Dumbledore’s Army, while practicing their Patronus charm in the Room of Requirement, they made a packed to serve the wizarding world as Aurors. The more Hermione thought about it, the more upset she became. She didn’t realize she was slamming Charms for the Advanced book on the table that everyone was looking at her and the librarian gave her a deadly look.

Hermione was about to turn the pages when she felt as if someone was looking at her. She looks up and only saw Draco Malfoy alone with a book. Draco wasn’t looking at her, his eyes were fixed on the book. She quickly gaze away, she doesn’t want Draco to notice her watching him. She despised the Twitchy Ferret, a name that has then stuck whenever the three of them referring to Draco in a conversation thanks to the incident in their second year when Ron accidentally turn Draco into a ferret when he called her a Mudblood. But she still felt someone was eyeing her, too upset, she ignores and quickly lost in the book.

#1 write an autobiography

An autobiography is the story of a person’s life written by himself.

I was born the eldest of four in Johor Bahru, a state in the southern part of Malaysia. Both my parents are Johoreans working in a government linked company since before they got me until now. I received my earliest education at Taski al-Ummah 7 located within the neighbourhood. It is an education that stressed on Islamic teaching to children at an early age. Later, I enrolled in a primary school also within the neighbourhood, Sekolah Kebangsaan Kompleks Uda from age 7 until 12. Later, I enrolled to one of Johor Bahru’s premier secondary school after achieving a good result for UPSR, Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan I.J. Convent from age 13 until 17. I was having difficulties adjusting in a school of intelligent girls because for the first time I really have to compete to be one of the top students. Later, I study for STPM at Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Sultan Ibrahim for a short period of time and did not sit for STPM as I was offered a place in a local university located in eastern part of Malaysia. Before I enrolled, I got my first part-time job in a textile shop located in a mall 5 minutes drive from my house. I bought some essentials for my first term living in Terengganu with my salary. Honestly, the place was a total stranger for me even though it is within Malaysia. I did not adjust well and often get homesick. Most of my classmates were originally from the eastern part of Malaysia and they speak a heavy accent that I have trouble to clearly understand. In my first semester, I was elected as the class representative and clearly most of them are not pleased since I wasn’t from around there. Soon, I was well-accepted since I portray a well-received act of leadership and they see that I have developed a good relationship with the lecturers that benefit us especially when we achieved a mutual understanding regarding assignments and projects with the lecturers. Diploma years went by almost with a blink of an eye and soon I found myself eager to start Degree years. I got accepted by the same local university but this time it was in Shah Alam, the headquarter, if I may say so. I deviated from my original course and studied business for 2 years and 6 months of internship. I was not actively involved in various university events as I was in Terengganu back then. During the first semester, I started missing the actions involving in various university events and even more with gamelan. Later, I found myself busy coping with studies and I engaged myself with 2 persons who are not only classmates, but also best friends. We were busy coping with studies as well as having fun together. Now that we have graduated, we haven’t lost contact ever since. Although we are miles apart, but we still talk every now and then and we decided that this short break is like semester break and we will eventually reunited. I have none bad memories received in my degree years, all good ones that top each other each year. The best time of my life so far…

new look for new year

I long planned to change my blog's look but was too lazy to get it done, so today I finally did.  The older version was sweet and demure looking, this time it was all vintage. Love it!

old template

I played around with Photoshop and manipulated some pictures, combine and arranged them to fit into a tiny space called banner. I do not own any of those pictures. 

first attempt (too crowded)

second attempt (too empty)

After third attempt, I came up with this:

I like the blue bird addition.

My hard work and dedication =P

the crybaby

Being in LDR kind of relationship truly tests your ability to stay loyal and honest. Everyone can declare that they possess these traits but to be able to keep and maintain them need perseverance and hard work.

Every now and then, we each take turn to be a crybaby. Take me for instance, when I was not in a relationship, I am dependent and able to handle anything on my own but once I’m in a relationship, I realized I’ve someone that I can depend who listen to my blabbering about life, my dissatisfaction on things and occasions that happen in my life. I’ve become a drama queen because I know there is someone who will listen and coax me, totally spoil me. Mostly, the crybaby role will be played by the girl and the guy will be calm and listens. During the crybaby state, the person will become whiny, defensive and severely emotional. I know this because I am one, plus I’ve observed some of my friends’ behavior. But not all guys can stand a crybaby. When there is too much drama going on, he will eventually become bored with it and get away from the drama scene.

I found that being in a long distance relationship, has turned me into a cry baby and a drama queen. Since my boyfriend is not around to coax me, I will end up being frustrated and angry. After some time, I’ve to coax myself and be self-motivated. It made me thinking, the point of us having a relationship is so that we have someone whom we can pour our heart to, share our happiness and sorrows, become spoilt all we want. But I realized, I’ve difficulties achieving those with him. The most annoying thing a guy/girl can do in a relationship is fail to be there for each other when needed. It is not advisable to be MIA because you’re encouraging your bf/gf to confide to other people. If you don’t feel comfortable with the idea of it, play your role as a bf/gf seriously. In my opinion, you will become closer, and you are able to get to know each other without him/her explaining what’s he/she like when you confide with each other, telling each other stories, share joys and woes rather than you spend time hanging out together everyday. When he/she confides with you, he/she is opening up to you, it is the matter of heart, something that people have troubled expressing.

Skin Care 101

Did you know skin is body’s biggest organ?

Skin plays an important role in protecting us against pathogens (things that causes disease) and excessive water loss. The skin covers and protects everything inside the body. It helps keep body at just the right temperature and allow us to have the sense of touch.

By doing so, you are helping your skin do its job. Early care of your skin will help prevent future problems like wrinkles and even skin cancer.

Clean skin is happy skin. The easiest way to keep your skin happy is by keeping your hands clean. This is important because our hands can spread germs to the skin. Another way of keeping our skin healthy is by doing a daily skin care regimen. A daily skin care regimen should include:
