About a month or two prior to the exams, the teachers told us that it's an uncheatable environment but I'd beg to differ. We did the exams in a hotel ; excellent condition for doing exams. It was in a room, a huge room. I'd say about 15 rows and about 12 columns of desks in the room. 10 - 15 invigilators. No cameras. Well there's this overhead sprinklers in case of emergency but NO CAMERAS. The examinations that I was doing was not that crucial or important, I'd say quite...important but not fully. If the student in front of you tilt to the left or right, you can see his/her paper.
The above paragraph is totally based on common sense and since common sense differs between countries or culture, your common sense might not be my common sense. *cough* Let's move on....
For some reasons, I feel like I wanna talk about the job as an invigilator. It's boring. Booriing. Giving out papers, taking back the papers, observing the students ooh...noo..invigilating the students. It's perpetual boredom. Nice environment to work in though. I don't know if invigilating is a part time job or their real job is in the British Council or something related to it. Meh...who am I to judge?
So right now I'm just downloading movies, comedies only. Adam Sandler, Kevin James, Rob Schneider, Vince Vaughn, Owen Wilson, Ben Stiller, David Spade oh yeah...let's not forget Jim Carrey. Their works are awesome. Well there are more of the comedic actors/actresses. Critics around the world might say their movies sucks but for those who wants a good laugh, it's perfect.
I'm currently learning this song. I genuinely didn't know that zorro can sing. Hahaha. Anyway, have an awesome summer holiday, for those who celebrate it. No offense to those who don't.
Been a long time eh? My apology for the delay. My exam is in a month time. Aiyoo, why am I bragging here. I'm free for a few days, because nobody is coming to school. Even the brainiacs who completed each task perfectly didn't come to school. We already finished the syllabus so it doesn't really matter. Forget about the school, time loathes me. Rewind a few days back, only 8 people out of 25 came to school and 3 of them took permission and went home in break. I lost hope that day, and possibly there was a big football match. I'm not teasing anyone or anything related to that, I'm not that kind of guy. Every country is different beacuse of their cultures. I know that each people are unique and different individually, due to the environment they're in, their core of personality are the same. That's why, every country is unique with its heritage and cultures.
As you can see, I'm being left out since I'm not taking Arabic, Social Studies and Religion. So all I do is sleep, do my homework, revise a bit and other practical thing you do in class. Most of them asked why don't I go down to the playground instead of sitting in the stuffy classroom. They don't get it, what the hell should I do when I go down. I'm already lonely in class and they want me to go down? I know the quality and the angle is bad, I took the picture secretly and my phone has a 3.2 megapixels only. Live with it.
This is the second most of important thing to say before playing dotA after "Bismillahirrahmanirrahim". If you are in doubt whether you'll definitely win the game or not, better say this. At least you'll be prepared. If you are Apiz, you'll be saying something that only a true gamer can think of.
I checked my dashboard about 2 hours ago. I got a whooping 19 followers. Wallahi I'm honoured. I guess this will be the last post for a month. Do wait for me!
So I just got back in Egypt 3 days ago. You see, I'm an eager learner. We arrived in Cairo around 6.30 pm plus receiving the baggage, putting it in the van, taking it out of the van. Anyway, we came home around 9.30 pm. I was the only who went to school the next day. My eagerness to learn is like the Statue of Liberty. Yes, it's enormous and has the right to be free. That's why you see me slacking sometime. If you want to congratulate me, erm....you might as well do it *wink*
My first day of school after the 2 month hiatus congratulated me with a welcoming suprise. Wanna guess? Cakes? Balloons? Dozens of people praising me? ohohohoh...wrong...wrong. It was a Biology quiz. At that moment, I thought for a few minutes. Should I worry? Should I be sad? depressed? shocked? My eagerness and my self-proclaimed calmness hit me. I told my friends that I'm lucky if I got a mark. Although, I'm happy with what I did even though I didn't revise back and I missed a few lessons. I've an uncanning ability to ace exams. My mom doesn't believe that. She believes in studying for hours like Chatur (Silencer) in 3 Idiots. I missed the mock exam for English and the teacher gave me the paper to do it at home. Another thing, I'm a trusted person, although it depends.
Now the next day. YES, THE NEXT DAY. It was a usual day. Sorry to get your hopes up. I have to copy 26 pages of Math I missed.
To talk about what I did in Malaysia. It was mostly Astro and Durian. For those who do not know what a durian is, google it up. I'll summarise it. It's a fruit with thorns and have an attractive stinky smell. Another thing, I watched "Guess Who" starring Bernie Mac and Ashton Kutcher. It was funny but I wish Bernie did not approve Ashton that soon. I want to see more of the bickering, interracial relationship.
Unfortunately, the storyline is almost the same as "Meet the Parent" and their sequel and prequel. That's why it needs more of the interracial jokes. Let me put up a conversation between them. If you didn't laugh, you do not have a sense of humour like mine.
*Both of them walking to the lobby of a hotel*
Bellhop : Would you like me to take your bag sir? Aston : No, thank you Bernie : What? Afraid he's gonna steal it? Ashton : It's...just one bag... Bernie : Let me tell you something son. Theresa's (Ashton's girlfriend in the movie) grandfather was a bellhop for 60 years and he never stole nothin' Ashton : Hello! *asking the bellhop to take his bag* Bernie : So he's your slave now eh?
*The bellhop approaching* Bellhop : Yes sir?
*Moment of silence* Ashton : ...I.....don't know....
I laughed at that and there was a part where Ashton told black jokes during a family dinner. Haha, movie is a business that will never get old. This is the ending pargraph. So long folks!
My questions has just been answered. I asked my friends a few weeks ago that do they like their current President, Hosni Mobarak. With proud and dignity they unhesitantly replied, "Hell no!". So I started to get curious and asked most of my class the same question. The answer was the same. Then I asked a more clear-headed, smart person who can give the term correctly. He said he that was the cause of the downfall in Egypt, ruling for about 3 decades.
Tahrir Sq.
My friend told me that there was gonna be a demonstration that day. So I thought it was gonna be like a presentation or something. Surprisingly, I was hoping for it, you know I always look at the positive side rather than the negative and hoping it was a 'Happy' demonstration.
I can't recall the first day they demonstrated. Though, the number increased each day, by that I mean the protesters. I think about 50,000 protesters were in Cairo. The whole country is in chaos. A few weeks ago, a Church blew up. Which intertwined the brotherhood of Egyptian Muslims and Christians. The protesters said that they're united, whatever the religion is, they're together to have Hosni Mobarak step down as the President of Egypt which his President career spans for over 3 decades.
That's not the reason I'm pissed off. No, the communications are cut except the landlines connection. Internet and mobile phone connection are cut. Urggghhhh!!! Hosni Mobarak cut off almost everything the protesters need to interact with each other.
The opposition leader is Mohamed El-Baradai. he doesn't go out to the field. He gives encouragement to the protesters and also stated that the demonstration that have begun won't stop until Hosni Mobarak step down. Which will never happen until he dies, Egyptians are arrogant. All of the police have been redeployed except the one is Tahrir Sq. It's been replaced by the army, tougher. Oh yea, Mubarak also appointed to new Vice President and Prime Minister. Think this is gonna work? me neither. The recent news says that he'll be the President till September.
I saw on the news that Mubarak met US President, Barack Obama. They talked and Obama gave a speech saying Mobarak promise to protect Egypt and will be more financially secure. The opposition leader also stated something really obvious and logical, "Egypt need to catch up with the other countries, we are way behind". It just penetrated my mind. The statement is just the bitter truth. The protesters also brought along their children saying that there's a better future for them. We saw the air force planes swifting through the sky. The plane was so low that we can even see the cockpit. I guess it's just something to scare the protesters eh?
Police disguised as normal citizens and arresting the protesters
My whole family moved to the embassy so the evacuation will be quick. My dad already got permission from Malaysia that he can return to Malaysia. You know....this and that...it's not confirmed. We may not even go back. Meh, now that the internet is back, I'm posting this. For those who are in Malaysia that are worried about us, watch the video below. Oh yea, Husni, give back my damn flash drive!
I was just browsing to see if there's any interesting news. There..I caught one. Read the actual news here. I'm not scared though. I think, if Egyptians are racist, they wouldn't offend a south-east Asian. I love Egyptians. Really. The fact that I'm in an Egyptian school gives me the opportunity to observe deeper.
Mean Girls 2. wakakak. Just look at Lindsay Lohan now. Back and forth to the rehab. It's like a second home to her now. After 7 years, the're making a sequel. More of a remake in my point of view. The previous actresses are not there. I predict that the movie is gonna be lame.
Abg Mahdi. Just to start with, his ancestors was Arabs and migrated to Malaysia. I still need to do some reasearch....hmm...and he has to marry a woman named 'Sharifah' so the traditions of his family would go on. I'm kinda vague about his heritage. Correct me if I'm wrong.
Nevertheless, a few days ago, he's been diagnosed with Hepatitis A. He's also been quarantined for a week in a lonely hospital. It's really lonely. It started with a fever, headache...these kind of symptoms. A few days ago, my father joined a club that was created by Husni's dad, a family club. So yesterday, the families that joined the club, went to IBC...yes..the bowling centre. My right hand is still cramping. To get to the point, my whole family went to the hospital but only me and my dad visited him. Luckily, when I was in a primary school, erm....for every 6 months, ambulance came with the nurses. For the flu vaccines and more. I hated it. The feeling when the needle penetrated down your skin, It's terrifying then not now =D. I don't hate nurses, I hate dentists. Arghh, I still remember the moment when the doctor said that he was gonna rinse my mouth with his equipment. Instead, he pulled out my tooth. I wasn't ready for that. Up to this day, I hate dentists.
Back to the hospital, I'll upload a few pictures then I'll continue the story after.
Aiseyyhh...I got a few more pictures, but with this crappy internet connection of mine, the uploading cannot be done.
I wanna talk about the hospital first. We gotta pay an entrance fee to visit the patients. L.E 1 per person. It's suppose to be free. No charge at all. I think the money won't go to the charity or make the facilities in the hospital better. It's his 'Shai' money, meaning tea. We went there while the sky was black. Like I said, really lonely. If were to be quarantined in this hospital, I'd suffer from loneliness more than the disease that I've been diagonosed with.
Abg Mahdi is still in a very weak state. He takes out the blood on his own. The nurses there failed to put the needle properly and missed the blood vessel and the part became swollen. He got a long needle inside his right hand. Making him unable to move the arm properly. The needle is in the flesh. Aaaa. Zaki was there, the cleaner's husband who comes for about 3 times a week. He helps Mahdi if he wants to go to the toilet...stuffs like that. He has NO APPETITE. Even the nurses threw away the food right away. One of his friend was there too.
Anyway, that's it for now. Hope you get better. FIGHTING!
To begin, Agaza means holiday and Iniharda means today. It's Egyptian Arabic. No-one, I repeat no-one speaks the Old Arabic or Fushah if you wanna call it. The Fushah Arabic is only for writing. It's a pain in the neck whenever I go to Malaysia and someone speaks to me in Old arabic. I forgot even how to reply. I'm in an Egyptian school so that I can improve my Colloquial (local) Arabic. The best way to learn Arabic is to be friends with a native speaker. Even in Saudi Arabia, the Arabic is different.
Back to my main point, I finally have holidays. YEHAHAHAHA. Although, the real holidays doesn't start until the last week of Jan and the first week of Feb. They close the school because all of them are having mid-terms. From the 20th onwards they have Arabic, Social Studies and Religion exams. A big exam I may say. SO they're focusing on acing these. While me, I'm not taking those 3, I'm free for this whole month. I now feel a bit superior. Just kidding mate. Still, I gotta workout the upper system.
