James Morrison

I’m always UNDER THE INFLUENCE of you since YOU GIVE ME SOMETHING to hold on to in this WONDERFUL WORLD whenever you’re around. Who says THE PIECES DON’T FIT ANYMORE even when we only have this ONE LAST CHANCE? For since the day you redo this spell of being UNDISCOVERED through THE LETTER you sent, there’s no need anymore for me to CALL THE POLICE because THIS BOY is turning into a BETTER MAN. But – God forbids - IF THE RAIN MUST FALL later, then I guess this shall be THE LAST GOODBYE. =)

Backstreet's Back, Alright!

Last night I went to the Backstreet Boys (BSB) Unbreakable World Tour at Sunway Surf Beach, Sunway Lagoon Theme Park. It wasn’t my first time seeing them as I’ve seen them perform live during the FON concert in 2005. But nonetheless, as a (closet) big fan of them of course I have to see them again!

Unfortunately though, I also had my Macroeconomics mid-term test yesterday so I had to rush and was only able to leave INTI with him around 6.20 pm. The road was clear all the way from toll to toll but (with his ‘help’) I took a wrong exit and then got lost for half an hour. Told you guys that getting lost is my expertise… But then thankfully we were able to make it to Pyramid around 8 pm and we rushed to the Surau for our Maghrib prayers. Since we were already late we didn’t have the chance to get anything to eat… Sorry… :( After meeting up with my cousin the three of us went looking for the place connecting Pyramid to the Hotel (thanks Lils for your help!) The line wasn’t long; I guess because we’re technically late. The show was scheduled to start at 8 but you know the trend with international artistes so I wasn’t that worried. We went to collect the tickets and made our way to the stage. Shila called me asking us to join her and Adilah and Adilah’s cousins but with that many people around it was hard. So instead, the three of us settled near the screen at the left side of the stage.





Oh I love the show. How can I not? Their performance was amazing, love the choreography, love the wardrobe changes, and especially love the new arrangement to their new songs. :) They sang most of their hit songs and also most from their new album. But the crowd shook Sunway mostly when they sang their oldies such as I Want It That Way, Quit Playing Games With My Heart, Show Me The Meaning Of Being Lonely and Incomplete. For me though, I especially love it when they sang As Long As You Love Me, All I Have To Give and I’ll Never Break Your Heart back to back. Not just because those are my favorites but also because I had him with me :) But the night wasn't all sappy! They also sang The One, Larger Than Life, The Call and EVERYBOOOOODYY...YEAAAHHHH! :p Plus they did all the dance moves from their videos! It was a fun show la in conclusion :) They performed non-stop for almost two hours so got to salute them for that.

After the concert I called up the babes and met them near the pool. By 'them' I meant Shila and Adilah, my usual concert partners-in-crime. Then I met Kak Sofwah (whom called me the entire time of BSB’s performance during FON.) Since Kak Yong, he and I didn’t have our dinner yet, we decided to go to NZ since it’s along the way to my house. Shila and Adilah went there too. Can't believe that even though one is studying at INTI, one in UiTM and one in KMNS we can still go to NZ together during a weeknight :p Anyway, after sending my cousin back home we made our own way back to ‘the home.’ We arrived at INTI around 1 am. It was really a nice excursion - nowhere near INTI - and doing something else rather than going to Palma.
I fell in love with BSB when I was eight and I've never stop being their fan ever since. Thank God though that my dream of marrying Nick Carter had died five years ago :p The concert really brought back memories of those yester-years when my idea of fun was dancing around the room to their songs with my best friends (whom all I succeeded in converting to BSB fans :p) But at the same time it wasn't just about the past, I also ‘kind of’ see a glimpse of my future too since this is only my first concert with him... :) (I still feel bad though that you had to endure a concert of ‘sleepy songs’ for two hours with me…)

But still, would you do it all over again for me if you have to?

p/s: There isn’t any picture of us at the concert because I didn’t bring my brother's camera and my stupid cell’s battery was low.

You think I was born like this ah?

I’ve been through this and I didn’t think I would have to go through this same old battle all over again here in college - this stupid constant battle I have to prove wrong. You want to know what is it that I hate most other than being disturbed during my nap time. People saying this: “Syaza…senang la untuk dia.” Since my school years, all the way till my SPM year, people have always said that. As if I picked my grades from some pokok mangga by the road or something. I know it is one part compliment but it is also another part annoying. I acknowledge that it’s partly my fault that people think so because I always repeat that I’m lazy. Thankfully though God gave me this amazing gift which is that I easily understand things. At the same time don’t think all these while I don’t work for my grades. I do, okay. Maybe less than some more deserving people, but I do work for my grades. Maybe I play more than some more deserving people, but I do work for my grades. Maybe I complained more than some more deserving people, but I do work for my grades; and don’t for one second think I do it half-heartedly. My point is, I work. I don’t eat my textbooks and magically remember everything. Therefore my advice is this: just do your shares of the work. God only helps those who want to help themselves. Ok?

My Wall

This may sound weird, but I was thinking of my pet while I was in my Macroeconomics class just now. I know my pet’s already dead but I can’t help reminiscing how we were before… As I was thinking I realized how I’ve changed since life disappointed me. Last year I started college with fresh hopes and dreams but instead I got crushed along the way. Therefore this year I started the new semester with a thick and tall barrier surrounding me. People can no longer easily approach me – physically and emotionally – and I don’t reach out to people as much as I used to. It's not that I have anything against ‘people’ but the second you took advantage of me you’re crossed out of my list. But as cheesy as this might sound, I'm not that sad because I believe in the rainbow after the storm and right now I'm so in love with my rainbow :)

Pavilion

Quoting Diana, "Syaza tak keluar?!" (something like that.)

Yeah, it's shocking isn't it if Syaza doesn't go out. So today I went out with the whole clan to Pavilion and as usual, with my daddy around, I feel like Britney Spears. See for yourself what I meant by it.



Yup, call him overprotective or something but those pictures were taken by my dad when I'm not looking.


And that's us waiting for our lunch (Kak Yong belanja! Sayang kamu!) And also if you people realize, I was trying to be Pia for the day :D


The usual line at JCo.




And then later my cousin and I stopped by the park near my house to take pictures since the sceneray was oh-so-BEAUTIFUL! :)

Oh and may I also add that I've been with him for a month now. "Forever" eh baby. Oh, how that word struck me as so believable when you said it. =')

P.S...you know the rest.
