Part 5 is officially OVER!

I've just finished my exam today. Oh, I feel so relieved! No more thinking about studies, exams etc. I can have FUN! It's time to start blogging again. I've been too occupied with my job as a student that I forgot to think about other things. But not anymore, I'm totally free now until the end of this year so I'm aiming to keep my blog updated with good stuff. Yeah, good stuff, hopefully. 

Now that I've successfully completed part 5 of my study, though the results are not out yet, my little horns are starting to grow on my head. I could feel it. Time to get wild, I mean, really really WILD. Well, the wildest thing I have ever done so far was participating in a dating show like I was really really that desperate for a girlfriend. 

Oh, have I told you about that? No? Let me tell you now, last week, my partner-in-crime, Fara, asked me and a couple of friends to accompany her to this Take Me Out audition. Click the link to watch the UK version of the show. So we (Fara, Pai, Yiya and I) went to the place of audition and as expected, we also had to audition. So we were like "OK, why not give it a shot". So we auditioned. The next day, I got a call from 8TV saying that I'm going to be on the show. I was like "ARE YOU SERIOUS?" Me? joining a dating show? I have to say, I love to be on the TV and stuff but this is kinda funny and ridiculous and scary and unexpected. 

The show will be aired next year. The 8TV crew will come tomorrow and do a little shooting with me for my profile.

Oh, have I mentioned that Pai and Fara are also in? Hahaha!


P/S: I think I want to be a vampire. Vampires are coooooool.

It's finally here.

When I was young, I used to dream of listening to my own song in the radio. I never thought that it would actually happen to me in real life. I feel like crying now. Crying a cry of joy of course. As some of you might know, I love to sing. And thanks to several wonderful people - Madam Lucy Gawis, Mr Jaini (my eldest brother), Mr Asmin Mudin and others - I have successfully recorded a new song composed by Mr Asmin  Mudin. In Sabah, it is already aired on several radio stations such as KKFM and SuriaFM. 

Once again, thank you all. Now let's listen to the song.


This one is the Dusun version.

A nonsense poem.

Photo: Google

In my Creative Writing class, Sir Hadi asked us to create a nonsense poem. When I heard the word 'nonsense', I know it's gonna be my cup of tea / bed of roses / forte or whatever you call it, because I am good, I mean, really good in being a nonsense creature.

So this is how it was done. First, I wrote anything that I have in mind on a piece of paper. Second, the paper - the area where I have written my line - was folded so that people could not read it. Third, the paper was given to Aminah - my partner for this particular assignment - and she did the same thing I did. The process was repeated until both of us have written five lines each.

After the whole process, we unfolded the paper and voila, a nonsense poem was created.


I hear the sounds of music

Birds have voices but why do they only sing?

I don't know what is going on

Frogs and trees are green, are they of the same species?

How I wish I'm a mind reader

I wonder why Arabians do not get fever when it is too hot

I need a sign, maybe guidance from above

There are still tears even when we are excited

Rocks and rock stars, are they brothers?

I want to live by the music, let it heals my aching soul.



Title: Wonderful Melody
Created by: Fanzi & Aminah


P/S: It is not so nonsense, isn't it? The only nonsense thing is the title I guess [muarghahahaha]. 

I should not be doing this right now.

If you noticed, I usually capitalized the initial letter of each word of my posts' title. But this time, I didn't. 
Why?  It's because I'd like to start a riot [laugh in an evil way]. Nah. The reason why is probably because I'm getting sick of being too loyal to certain rules. For example, my primary school teacher used to say,

"Anak-anak sekalian, kalau mahu tulis tajuk karangan, huruf pertama mesti tulis dalam huruf besar."

See. I've been very loyal to that rules since I was in primary school. I'm 22 now. I should probably just ignore the rules because I'm so tired of needing to make sure everything is done in the right way. The thing is, I don't know which is right or wrong anymore. Everything is jumbled up that I could not even make sense of what is going on. I could not even understand what I have just written typed.

Anyway, that's not the reason why I post this entry. My main reason is just to fill in the emptiness within me. Sounds cliche? Yeah, probably. But I do am lonely. Although I am having like tonnes of big plastic bags of assignments, this loneliness seems to give greater impact on me. Yes, I am not worried about Mr Ass-ignments-hole although I have like 3 or 4 or maybe 5 ass-ignments-holes need to be submitted this week [showing expression of extreme happiness].

Well, last night me and Pai went to Bukit Raja. Why? Because we wanted to watch Magika. Suddenly, out of nowhere, the strong feeling of patriotism took over my body and next thing I knew, I was in the cinema, hall 4 to be exact, watching Magika. If you ask me about Magika, I would say that it is a good movie. I was actually kinda impressed. I should give a round of applause to KRU for their effort [clap clap clap]. The only thing that I don't really like is the songs. No offense to Magika fans out there but honestly, some of the songs suck. I like the opening song though. The one that is sung by Maya Karin. Have I told you that it's a musical? Overall, it was good. KRU could do better I guess.

I should stop now. Need to finish my assignments.

What Makes Riley Scared?

For those who are following in my friend list on Facebook, you probably know that we (Pai and I) adopted a cat that we named Riley. 



She is a very active cat. Whenever we took her out from her cage, she would jump and bite and jump and hide and attack and jump etc etc. If you don't believe me, just watch the video.


She's quite adorable, I think. With her perangai like that, I didn't think anything or anyone could scare the crap out of her.


Until one day.


I was wearing this cute hat (deer hat) that I bought during my holiday trip at Genting.


I swear I look cute wearing this hat.


[giggles]































More eye candies for you.


[giggles giggles]










Okay, enough about me.


Back to Riley now.


So when I wore that hat in the house last night, Riley saw me and started hissing like she was possessed or something.


She became aggressive, like, she was trying to defend herself. 


We were puzzled by her sudden change of behaviour.








Finally, we found out that she was actually afraid of the deer hat that I was wearing.








This is the hat. What is so scary about it?




























Who's the coward now?


[laugh]






















Riley, you're adorable no matter what. You have to stop being naughty now. Because you have just revealed your weakness.


[laugh hysterically] 



Never Let You Go by Fanzi Ruji

I suck at writing a short story. 

I hate reading (educational materials) as well.

But unfortunately I had to write a short story for one of our Creative Writing assignments.

And, I'm not happy about it.

But then, I managed to do it. Although it is just a very simple short story, only two pages, but I'm proud of it. Writing a short story is such a big accomplishment because like I've said, I suck at writing a story. Why? Maybe because I have limited imagination. I need to give myself a big round of applause.

[clap clap]

My other friends managed to come out with a very long one.

Adakah saya cemburu?

Well, in some way, yes, I'm kind of jealous. But it's okay I guess. They are smart especially in this thing compared to me.

Enough said, so here it is. The product that you all have been anticipating for,

a short story written by the dumbest greatest writer of all, Fanzi Ruji.

[clap clap]

Oh before that, forgive all the grammatical errors (if any). Like I said, I suck. 

[giggles]

Oh ya, one more thing, all characters in the story are just characters, like cartoon characters. They have nothing to do with those who are still living or not living

Okay, enjoy even if you don't enjoy it.


Never Let You Go
by Fanzi Ruji



Once upon a time, in the Land of Narneon, there was an adorable young man who lived in a thick forest with his guardian. His name was Funzy Rogers and the guardian’s name was Bi Storm. Funzy Roger was actually a son of a great king named King Kenny Rogers III but he did not know the fact because he was separated from his father and mother just after he was born in the world.

It was said that King Kenny Rogers III used to have a secret wife named Madonna Donna. Madonna Donna was an extremely beautiful woman but very greedy and evil inside. She wanted to be the queen.  Upon hearing the news of the pregnancy of the queen, Madonna Donna exploded in rage. She was very angry and disappointed. She wanted to get rid of the queen.  Therefore, she travelled to the Land of The Black Magic and met an old lady named Lady Copa Cabbana. She hired Lady Copa Cabbana to teach her black magic so that she could kill the queen.

Lady Copa Cabbana refused at first but eventually agreed to teach black magic to Madonna Donna. However, there was one condition. To learn black magic, Madonna Donna had to spare her beauty. She agreed and after she ate the Fruit of the Witch, her entire hair suddenly fell down and her skin became dark and swollen. She looked like she has been living for 100 years. The only way to break the contract was to make a young man of a royal blood suffer from love and die.

Madonna Donna was very determined to kill the queen. She sent a group of Digi Monsters to attack the queen but the monsters failed to kill her. King Kenny Rogers III found out that Madonna Donna was the mastermind of the murder attempt. He confronted her but unfortunately he was trapped and sent to Kingdom of Silence. Nobody knew what happened to the king after that. The queen was also sent there by Madonna Donna. However, Bi Storm managed to rescue the baby and hid the baby in a place where Madonna Donna could never find out.

In the meantime, Funzy Rogers, unaware of who he really was, met a lovely young woman in the village near the thick forest and fell in love with her. Her name was Britney Sword. She fell in love with him too. Madly in love, they spent all their time together and did all things together. Bi Storm warned Funzy Rogers to stop spending too much time with his lover because something bad would happen if he kept on exposing himself to the public. Funzy Rogers ignored the guardian’s warning and decided to marry Britney Sword. They lived in a simple way but they were very happy.

In the old castle, there was Madonna Donna, the evil witch who could not go anywhere in the castle but her room because she was too embarassed to show off her super-ugly look. While looking at her glimmering lightbulb on her make-up desk, she had a vision that the baby of King Kenny Rogers III and the queen was still alive and had became a man who was going to marry a woman soon.

Madonna Donna was very happy to know that the son of King Kenny Rogers III was actually alive. She could finally free herself from the contract. Therefore, she created a hatred potion which could make someone hates someone.

One day, while Britney Sword was dancing around in the backyard of the house, Madonna Donna came to her and promoted a chocolate energy bar which could generate more energy. Because of her interest in dancing, she thought that she was going to need more energy. Therefore, she bought all the chocolate energy bars and ate all of them.  As soon as she swallowed the last bite, she felt the rush of energy and very strong boost of confidence that made her feels like she was the one who were in control of everything.  She felt like a man and that she doesn’t need one anymore. Under the influence of the Madonna Donna’s black magic, she became a different person. The happy moments between them was no longer happy. Everything seemed so dull and sad and that drove him insane. He wondered what had happened to his wife. He wanted his wife to be sweet, jovial and loving just like before.

As time passed by, the relationship between Funzy and Britney became worse. She became less sensitive to his needs and began to ignore him. Feeling devastated, he went back to the forest to meet Bi Storm and asked for Bi Storm’s advice. Bi Storm told him that it was all because of Madonna Donna’s evil plan and also told him the whole story about himself and his parents. Feeling shocked, Funzy Rogers was determined to kill Madonna Donna and cure back his wife.

So, he went to the old castle alone and challenged Madonna Donna to fight with him. Madonna Donna used black magic and trapped him in his own mind. He couldn’t do anything. Madonna Donna kept him as a prisoner in the castle.

In the forest, Bi Storm managed to temporarily cure Funzy Rogers’ wife using the limited knowledge of black magic that he knew. He told Britney that her husband was trapped in the old castle by the evil Madonna Donna and that she must save him before he dies. Bi Storm told her that Funzy Rogers was the only son of King Kenny Rogers III and the only person who could save and return back the glory of the land. Only the love of his life could save him from the evil Madonna Donna. Britney, accompanied by Bi Storm, went to the castle and found Funzy Rogers. However, there, they met Madonna Donna and fought. Madonna Donna managed to defeat Bi Storm and sent him to the Kingdom of Silence. Madonna Donna then tried to kill the weak Funzy Rogers but he was saved by his wife. Britney Sword managed to demolish Madonna Donna but unfortunately she was badly hurt.

Funzy Rogers brought his wife back to the forest. In the forest, his wife took her last breath . He was so sad. He loved his wife so much that he did not want to let go. He built a glass coffin for her wife and sat beside the coffin, to accompany his wife, for the rest of his life until he took his last breath.

To See You Again

Last month (if I'm not mistaken), someone that I call Ikaw (her name is Avie) called and asked me whether I wanted to be involved in the making of the music video of To See You Again sung by Ridah Annie (her name in Facebook). When I asked further, she told me that I would be the male model in the video. Upon hearing that, I instantly said YES! 


Well, the storyline of the video goes like this.


[clears throat]


There was this girl who loves taking pictures (played by Avie herself) stranded in the rain. She tried to find a place to escape from the rain. While she was running, she accidentally dropped her Elmo doll and then there was this guy (guess who that guy is) that came to the rescue. He brought her to a spot, safe from the rain and restored her Elmo doll. 


There, they got to know each other and snapped a photo together. After that (long after the sweet meeting with the guy, who is played by me), this girl found out that she is actually missing the guy and is wondering when they can meet again.


[tears coming down from the eyes]


So basically, that's the storyline of the music video. The video will be released (probably) in November and I can't wait to see it. 


Shooting the video with Ikaw a.k.a Avie was fun. It was a bit awkward at the beginning because I seriously suck at making facial expressions. Eventually, everything became easy because Avie is such a happy person. Therefore it's easy to work with her. I still remember when she screamed, "Punya main bida muka ko Fanzi!!"


[laugh]


Well, coincidentally, it was raining that day and we didn't have to set up a fake rain while shooting the video. However, my hair was seriously 'damaged' by the rain and I kinda look like shit. Anyway, that's not important. The important thing is, I gained a new experience and working with Avie is awesome and sweet like candy. 


Hope to do this kind of project again.

Oh My

OMG people!

Probably that's not a very good introduction, is it?

How are you guys? It has been a really really really long time. I'm so sorry for not updating you guys, especially my loyal readers (if any) with the latest stories of me. 

[giggles]

There were so much going on in my life right now that I could not afford to write/type them all here. Therefore I will just put a photo or two and describe what happened in that photo.

It's simpler, right? I know.

So let's get started.

[browsing for good photos]

I went to Korea last month. This is one of my favourite photos that I took during my vacation in Korea.

Wait..

[received a hard cold slap on the face]

Ouch, I'm sorry. I've never been in Korea (not yet). This photo was actually taken behind my apartment..

[another hard cold slap on the face]

Okay! Okay!
This photo was taken behind our FLAT in Shah Alam. Now what's so special about this one? Well, every photo of me is of course special. 

[laughing adorably]

Have I told you that I'm no longer staying at Cendana? Yes, it's true. My friends (Pai, Raf, Zuan and Awang) and I moved to a new house in Section 17 Shah Alam. Well, it's a flat, so, there's not much to say about our new home even if I want to talk more about it.

Cut the crap! Do you see the student ID that I was wearing in the photo? Now I'm back to my full-time job that is being a student in UiTM Shah Alam. Just so you know, I only wear that kind of outfit on Monday because we (all UiTM students although some did not obey) are required to wear formal outfit on Monday. 

So the main point here is, I'm back to studying (finishing my TESL degree). Wish me luck!

Talking about study, this semester is not gonna be as easy as the previous semester. The subjects are tougher although we actually have only two final exam papers.

I feel like giving up sometimes because when I think back, I've been studying for the rest of my life (it's 22 years, mind you) and I'm so so tired of it.

But when I think back, rationally, learning is a never-ending process. We learn things as we grow older and there's no stop to it. Luckily, I have my super-awesome friends here (especially Pai and Fara) who have always been very supportive and fun to spend time with. I really love you guys. 

[indulging in sentimental moment]

In conclusion, I'm alright. 

Thank-you-very-much.





Yours sincerely,
FANZI
