My Guardian Angel

My sweet friend,

You've been there for me,

Day and night,

Rain or shine,

Now and then.

Why do you have to go?

We've been friends since kindergarten.

Through primary school,

You were my protector,

My saviour, my guardian.

Secondary school came,

Still the same;

I'm the prince,

You're the bodyguard.

"Bullies, don't ever come near!

I have a friend who'd die for me."

Still,

God is Almighty, Caring, Forgiving.

He loves you more,

And took you away.

Even though you're gone,

You're still here with me,

In my heart, beside me,

Still protecting me,

Guarding me;

Great friend,

You are my guardian angel.

With all due respect,

Hafiz Khairuddin

Skeleton Creek - One Hell of a Scary Story

Another book review... This time, it's Patrick Carman's 'Skeleton Creek' and it is one hell of a scary novel...

A story about two best friends, Ryan and Sarah... Since the accident happened, they were banned to see each other. Living in a town called Skeleton Creek, Ryan and Sarah tried to uncover a mystery surounding the place; especially the dredge where the accident happened. With Ryan trapped inside his house, there was nothing they could do. So, Ryan writes up his stories in his journal while Sarah record footages and send Ryan the links for him to see...

Together, they find out a really, scary truth about the past, the present, and the future...

A really good book, especially for those who like scary stuff and a horror fan...

With all due respect,

Hafiz Khairuddin

The beat’s going Düm Tek Tek
Always out it like there’s no limit,
Feels like there’s no way back

In your exotic movements
You are the greatest dancer

You make me feel so special
No one can kiss like you do
As if it’s your profession
Feels so fine…

Beyonce - Halo

Artist: Beyonce

Title: Halo

Album: I Am...Sasha Fierce

Remember those walls I built?
Well, baby they're tumbling down
And they didn't even put up a fight
They didn't even make a sound
I found a way to let you in
But, I never really had a doubt
Standing in the light of your halo
I got my angel now

It's like I've been awakened
Every rule I had you breakin'
It's the risk that I'm taking
I ain't never gonna shut you out!

Everywhere I'm looking now
I'm surrounded by your embrace
Baby, I can see your halo
You know you're my saving grace
You're everything I need and more
It's written all over your face
Baby, I can feel your halo
Pray it won't fade away

I can feel your halo
I can see your halo
I can feel your halo
I can see your halo
Halo, ooh ooh.....

Hit me like a ray of sun
Burning through my darkest night
You're the only one that I want
Think I'm addicted to your light
I swore I'd never fall again
But this don't even feel like falling
Gravity can't forget
To pull me back to the ground again

It's like I've been awakened
Every rule I had you breakin'
It's the risk that I'm taking
I'm never gonna shut you out!

Everywhere I'm looking now
I'm surrounded by your embrace
Baby, I can see your halo
You know you're my saving grace
You're everything I need and more
It's written all over your face
Baby, I can feel your halo
I pray it won't fade away

I can feel your halo
I can see your halo
I can feel your halo
I can see your halo
Halo, ooh ooh.....
I can feel your halo
I can see your halo
I can feel your halo
I can see your halo
Halo, ooh ooh.....
Halo, ooh ooh.....
Halo, ooh ooh, oh........

Everywhere I'm looking now
I'm surrounded by your embrace
Baby, I can see your halo
You know you're my saving grace
You're everything I need and more
It's written all over your face
Baby, I can feel your halo
I pray it won't fade away

I can feel your halo
I can see your halo
I can feel your halo
I can see your halo
Halo, ooh oh.......
I can feel your halo

Alexander Rybak - Fairytale

This is the winning song from Eurovision Song Contest 2009...

Eurovision Song Contest 2009 Final
Norway (NRK)

Performer: Alexander Rybak
Song title: Fairytale
Song writer(s): Alexander Rybak
Song composer(s): Alexander Rybak

Years ago when I was younger
I kinda’ liked a girl I knew.
She was mine, and we were sweethearts,
That was then, but then it’s true

I’m in love with a fairytale
Even though it hurts.
‘Cause I don’t care if I lose my mind;
I’m already cursed

Every day we started fighting,
Every night we fell in love.
No one else could make me sadder,
But no one else could lift me high above

I don’t know what I was doing
But suddenly we fell apart.
Nowadays I cannot find her.
But when I do we’ll get a brand new start

I’m in love with a fairytale
Even though it hurts.
Cause I don’t care if I lose my mind;
I’m already cursed

She’s a fairytale
Yeah
Even though it hurts.
Cause I don’t care if I lose my mind;
I’m already cursed

Yohanna - Is It You?

Eurovision Song Contest 2009 Final
Iceland (RÚV)

Performer: Yohanna
Song title: Is It True?
Song writer(s): Óskar Páll Sveinsson, Chris Neil, Tinatin Japaridze
Song composer(s): Óskar Páll Sveinsson, Chris Neil, Tinatin Japaridze

You say you really know me,
you’re not afraid to show me
what is in your eyes
So tell me about the rumours
Are they only rumours?
Are they only lies?
Falling out of a perfect dream, coming out of the blue.

Is it true?
Is it over?
Did I throw it away?
Was it you?
Did you tell me you would never leave me this way?

If you really knew me
You couldn’t do this to me
You would be my friend
If one of us is lying
There’s no use in trying
No need to pretend
Falling out of a perfect dream, coming out of the blue

Is it true?
Is it over?
Did I throw it away?
Was it you?
Did you tell me you would never leave me this way?

Is it true?
Is it over?
Did I throw it away?
Was it you?
Did you tell me you would never leave me this way?

Is it real?
Did I dream it?
Will I wake from this pain
Is it true?
Is it over?
Baby did I throw it away?

Eurovision Song Contest - Can It Beat American Idol?

Eurovision Song Contest, a new show to me, not to the Europeans...

This particular reality show calls participants from countries all over Europe to put in their song for a competition to see which song will be the one most favoured by people of Europe. This year's was the 54th edition of the contest, held in Moscow, Russia, following the winning of Dima Bilan in last year's.

This year's winner was Alexander Rybak from Norway, with his song "Fairytale" which he wrote and composed himself. Second place goes to Iceland, third to Azerbaijan, fourth to Turkey and fifth to United Kindgom.

So far, the songs I've heard from the finalists of this year's competition was superb! I can't really tell what's the "X Factor" in their songs, but they are really good! Also, this competition is not like Malaysia's "Akademi Fantasia" and United States' "American Idol" because this competition uses new, never-before-heard songs from countries in Europe. So, we will be in a surprise to actually hearing new songs each year from this competition.

Out of 5 stars, I'll give this show 4.7 and I'm looking forward t actually watch this show next year, which will be held from 25th-29th May, 2010 in Oslo, Norway. I suggest you all to watch this show, ONLINE at www.eurovision.tv

With all due respect,

Hafiz Khairuddin

P/S: Thanks to Mustaqim Bilan Rybak for introducing me to this show.

Long-time favourite - PULUT DURIAN!!!

Haha, you must think I'm crazy putting this entry in... But, it's a part of my mundane, dull life... So, here goes...

Last Thursday, I went to my grandmother's house, as I always do, for my lunch... Once I'm there, there was a certain smell that I haven't sniffed for YEARS... "What was it?" my little heart said. "Oh, not to worry," I replied to myself, "It's just durian." Then, I stopped. DURIAN??? HERE??? RIGHT NOW???

AARRGGHH!!!

Am I dreaming??? I must be dreaming! Pinch me!!!

Fortunately, I wasn't dreaming... It was for real! And, to top that up, my grandmother prepared me some pulut to eat with the durian. Hence, my all-time favourite dish, PULUT DURIAN was heavenly appeared in front of my eyes... Hahaha!!!

Yes, after what seems like a lifetime, I was reunited with my dear baby... Huhu...

Bon Appetite!!!

Hannah Montana - You'll Always Find Your Way Back

Artist: Hannah Montana

Title: You'll Always Find Your Way Back

Album: Hannah Montana: The Movie Soundtrack

You wake up

It's raining and it's Monday

Looks like one of those rough days

Time's up, you're late again so get out the door

Sometimes you feel like running

Find a whole new life and jump in

Let go, get up and hit the dance floor

When the lights go down, it's the ending of the show

And you're feeling like you got no where to go

Don't you know?

You can change your hair

You can change your clothes

You can change your mind

That's just the way it goes

You can say goodbye and you can say hello

But you'll always find your way back home

You can change your style

You can change your jeans

You can learn to fly

And you can chase your dreams

You can laugh and cry but everybody knows

You'll always find your way back home

Your best friends, your little hometown

Are waiting up wherever you go now

You know that you can't always turn around

Cause this world is big and it's crazy

And this girl is thinking a maybe

This life is what some people dream about

Cause when I'm feeling down, and I'm all alone

I always got a place where I can go

Cause I know

You can change your hair

You can change your clothes

You can change your mind

That's just the way it goes

You can say goodbye and you can say hello

But you'll always find your way back home

You can change your style

You can change your jeans

You can learn to fly

And you can chase your dreams

You can laugh and cry but everybody knows

You'll always find your way back home

Yeah, they know exactly who you are

Where the real you is a superstar

You know it's never too far away

You can change your hair

You can change your clothes

You can change your mind

That's just the way it goes

You can say goodbye and you can say hello

But you'll always find your way back

You can change your hair

You can change your clothes

You can change your mind

That's just the way it goes

You can say goodbye and you can say hello

But you'll always find your way back home

You can change your style

You can change your jeans

You can learn to fly

And you can chase your dreams

You can laugh and cry but everybody knows

You'll always find your way back home

Holidays - Things To Do...

The title sounds familiar? For my class in Batu Lintang, you will know the little rhyme Mdm. Portia taught us...

Anyway, this entry focuses on the things I did and the things I'm supposed to do but never get around to them.

THINGS I SHOULD DO:

1) Clean the house (dusty)

2) Wash all the clothes and linens (inclusive of curtains)

3) Fold the laundry

4) Pay bills

5) Finish up Portfolio for next semester

6) Revise Language Description

7) Save money

8) Finish reading 'To Kill A Mockingbird'

THINGS I DID:

1) Wash laundry, excluding the curtains (haven't fold them yet)

2) Cleaned the house

3) Surf the Internet 24/7

4) Wasted money on camera and novel

5) Finished reading 'New Moon' and 'Skeleton Creek'

So, now I'm thinking... Is my life dull, or is it just boring as ever. Am I procrastinating???

With all due respect,

Hafiz Khairuddin

Suggestion for Gossip Girl

Just a short entry stating my suggestion... So far, Gossip Girl has finished season 2 and from what I've heard, it's confirmed to return for a third season sometime this year. Also, a spin-off of Gossip Girl, titled Valley Girls is still in decision whether to show it or not, for a mid-season. Now, here's my suggestion.

Instead of making a spin-off of Gossip Girl in a TV series, why not make it into a movie? Gossip Girl novels have two spawn spin-offs, namely The It Girl (centres Jenny Humphrey) and Gossip Girl: The Carlyles (centres the Carlyle triplets; Owen, Avery and Baby). Why not make those into a Gossip Girl movie? Hey, Sex and the City is already out there as a movie and so does The X Files. So, why not Gossip Girl be made into a movie as well?

You know you love me,

XOXO

Gossip Girl

Holiday; Work, Study, Have Fun...

Holiday is the time of the year that people always wait for (and sometimes ask for, if you're working, of course) and to me, there's only three choices on what we should do that time; work, study, or have fun.

Classifications of the choices:

1) WORK

If we do our work during the holidays, it is no longer a holiday... To most people, holidays mean rest and release stress and tension from work or study. But, if we do our work during the holidays, we don't need to do them anymore when we go back to work or school or wherever you are studying.

2) STUDY

If we study during the holiday, we will easily get stressed by the things that we don't understand due to the absence of lecturers or teachers. But, if we study during the holidays, we can easily spot the part where we don't understand, mark them, and ask the lecturers or teachers when we go back to our respective studying places. We can also be ready for our future lessons!

3) HAVE FUN

This is the main reason/meaning of holidays for people... It is the time of the year when we can meet old friends, hang out, and just have fun catching up. It is also the time when we can actually relax, and just rest. Heck, we can actually sleep the whole day during the holidays! In fact, there was something quoted by Kevin Walker in 'Brothers and Sisters' about holidays, or as that time, he was referring to the weekends (which was also a holiday). He said "Weekend means NO WORK." Well, to most of us (and I mean MOST OF US), this is true. Who wants to work or study during the holidays???

So, your pick; WORK, STUDY, or HAVE FUN???

With all due respect,

Hafiz Khairuddin
