Ati's Wish

A special delivery from Aqilah's aunt! :)


Eid Mubarak to all! Wishing you the best of hari raya my friends...

I'm feeling kind of lonesome, and forlorn. It's not like I'm sad or anything, it's just I feel, nothing, or rather, I feel something, but I can't permit myself to feel it because I can't feel it. It makes me feel old.

But don't fret, I'm still smiling, and I suppose I'm happier than I was a moment ago.

I'm a big girl now.

Maaf zahir batin my dear biotechnologist-to-be friends!!!

Eid Mubarak

Just another day to go. I'm sure most of you guys out there have already done the cookies, cleaning up, blah, blah, blah. Same old usual stuff. Most of you would probably be heading back to your kampungs, while I get stuck here in hazy KL. Nah, just kidding. Got used to the whole I-don't-balik-kampung-cause-I-don't-have-a-kampung thing. Anyhoo, I just want to take this opportunity to wish everyone Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri. Maaf zahir batin. It has been a good 3 years with you guys. Still looking forward to the many (hopefully) years to come.

Don't forget the exams. And skip some of the cookies. Save some for me, 'k! :)

The Real Update

I think I once used the same title before, but heck, I'm running out of ideas, but in attempt to keep this blog alive, and telling all people out there that we're, the biotechnologists-to-be, too alive and breathing here; the title doesn't matter as much.

Like they say, it's the thought that counts.

We're on the verge of our final week of the semester. Fortunately, all major assignments and presentations as well as tests has been completed. Now we're left with another two (Br. Kamarul's and Br. Faizul's Bioinformatics lab reports), which I hope despite its apparent tediousness, is not as much as I though it is. If there's an important thing I learn this semester, it's not about what you view it, it's about how you view it.

Final exams is in about two weeks time, and with classes ending early, it seems like we shall have plenty of time. But no, it's eid and the 10 days vacation is bound to be without books in mind and in hand. As soon as I reach home, I shall don the title Ati-the-Baker, not Ati-the-Biotechnologist-to-be, that's for sure.

The other Biotechnologists-to-Be, I'm cherished to see, are all doing welll too. Life is not all rosy for us, I must admit, but sometimes we just have to look at the core of our reason for living, and that should be enough for the time being to keep moving on.

As for me, I'm having the time of my life. Being around a protective brother, and playful friends is keeping me alive each day, and I shall not indeed waste my time (anymore) not being one.

To all people out there, wish us the best success in in the coming exams, and here to all Biotechnologists-to-Be; you rock!!! :)

THE BEST IS YET TO COME

Do you remember the time,
When little thing made you happy.

Do you remember the time,
When simple thing made you smile.

Life can be wonderful,
If you let it be.

Life can be simple,
If you try.

Whatever happened to those days?
Whatever happened to those nights?

Do you remember the time,
When little thing made you sad.

Do you remember the time,
When simple thing made you cry.

Is it just me
Or
Is it just us

Feeling lost in this world?

Why do we have to hurt each other
Why do we have to shed tears.

Life can be beautiful
If you try

Life can be joyful
If we try

Tell me
I’m not alone

Tell me
We are not alone in this world
Fighting against the wind

Do you remember the time
When simple thing made you happy

Do you remember the time
When little thing made you laugh.

You know
Life can be simple.

You know
Life is simple

Because
Best thing in life is yet to come

Because
Best is yet to come.


This was once a song I love from the soundtracks of Metal Gear Solid, I had the CD but it was borrowed and never to be returned.

I suppose belongings, tangible or intangible, sometimes are snatched away from your life in cruel manner, no matter how unfair you might feel it is.

And the only reason you have in hand to keep moving on, is to live.

In remembrance of everything that I lost, I'm not missing them anymore.
