The 7Ups

(^^) I found this in one of my email. And I kinda like it very much.. The 7Ups...

1. Wake Up...Decide to have a good day.
   

2. Dress Up... The best way to dress up is to put on a smile. A smile is an inexpensive way to improve your looks.
   

3. Shut Up... Say nice things and learn to listen.
   

4. Stand Up... For what you believe in.
   

5. Look Up... To the Mercy of God
   

6. Reach Up... For something higher.
   

7. Lift Up... Your Prayers.

Never Let Me Go~

Again.. I judged a book by it's cover....

Ok.. Cover x nampak.. So actually the cover is from the movie's poster..

My first impression from seeing the cover was.. This must be a very vey sad love story.. The synopsis at the back doesn't tell much so that made me more curious. And suddenly it's on my shelf (^^)v

The storyline is not that straightforward and I'm actually quite confuse right now on how to actually make the review of this book..


The whole story consist of 3 parts; that's when they were kids, when they were teenagers and as adults. The first part was about their life in Hailsham, the boarding school where they live in. There were terms like 'donors', 'carers' and whatnot. At the end of the first part, I was still confused of who these kids really are because their life are different from normal kids, they have weird teachers whom they called the guardians and some weird routines in their daily living too. Finally I googled and read about the book in Wikipedia and found out that they're actually clones. And I was like "OMG! I actually bought a Sci-Fi!!!!" but kept on reading anyway.


The second part was about their life in the Cottages. I say their teenage life is my favourite because it was when they start to explore the outside world. Their adulthood somehow filled with agony because they start becoming donors. That's what they were created for; to donate their organs to 'normal people'. So it's really sad the part where they have to endure complications from the donations. Usually a clone could put up until 3 donations before they die.


All in all, I say this book is very plain. But what keeps me to the end is the way the author wrote about their friendship, about their feelings, their curiousity and how they care for each other, especially the bond between Kathy and Tommy (the main characters in the book). Both of them were so close that they didn't realize that what they have is actually love.


One more thing, I'm actually amazed by how a male writer can actually write about girls' friendship in an almost precise details. The friendship that Kathy had with her friends were almost like the ones that I had during my schooldays hehe Yeah maybe that's what keeps me going to the end though I've decided this is not my favourite genre since long long long time ago...

Bawal.. Lip Gloss.. & that GIRL~

It's flattering when people think you're younger than your actual age but.... when people think you're in secondary school when you're actually 25, I've one word for that DEMORALIZING!!!!!!!!! (-_-")

Yup.. Demoralizing.. I don't know whether it's my character or is it my dressing but this is just too often these days. TOO OFTEN!!!!!!! And I don't think this is good for my working image.. Yalah, who'll believe a 'school girl' who talks to you about drugs....

Even my mom think I should consider putting on some make up on my face in which I'll definitely oppose to. It's not that I don't like make up, it's just that I've sensitive skin that zit will easily pop out even if I just apply compact face powder (-_-") (cewah.. Mo cakap all this while ko natural beauty la kan Haziah hahaha)

But.. yeah.. I googled some of the new fashion that Muslimah are currently following.. They just don't suit my taste and I'm just not the type who'll wear something that I'm not comfortable with. Some are too body-hugging, too striking, too heavy like they wear so many layers of clothing.. Undeniably pretty and covers the aurah very well, but c'mon.. This is Malaysia, we're exactly at the equatorial line girl.. HOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!! When I saw this 'heavy' fashion, I thought people would do anything to be stylish...


But I'm quite tempted to the currently so in hijab fashion.. I don't know what's the name of the style just it seems like every girl wear them these days. So I watched this tutorial in youtube and so happen that I've all the things needed for the style.. A scarf, shawl and 3 needles hehe So I tried it out before going to work

I'm not sure whether it's suppose to look like this or not...

Well... What I think about this style... It's nice.. Looks pretty on every girl that I saw wearing it... But I feel it's just SEMAK on me... (Most probably sebab salah pasang) With that part hanging infront of me.. The inner part that embrace my neck is kinda suffocating...

I think I just wave the idea to wear this style off.. Will just stick to my bawal and lip gloss

Don't have to worry about looking young.. You'll get old one day -ZEQ-
