Show Me Ur Style!

Assalamualaikum and good day, peeps! :)

Haha okay hari tu kata nak tulis pasal sinopsis novel dalam cabaran c50 kan. Tapi belum buat kerana masih malas nak imbas balik tentang plot novel tu.

So today it's not about a book. It's about me participating in a contest in facebook. Hahah.

It's a 'style' contest, in which participants shall upload a picture of them, in what they think as their most awesomest style, and then the picture with the most 'likes' will win. In order for people to like the picture, they must first like the profile page of the shop.

This kind of contest is quite common among new shops in facebook. By organizing such contest, a shop will gain publicity in a jiff because their shop name will be published everywhere for every 'likes' they get, not to mention quite a number of members too, because people who entered the contest will have to want their friends and families to like the page in order to make them vote.

So umm......

I hereby would like to promote my picture! I'm doing this just for fun, and also for the prizes! ;p

This contest is organised by a women's apparel shop.

For ladies, you can add up some great fashion choices to your shopping list by liking the page.

For guys who would also like to vote, no worries. You can also like the page, see wether you like my style, and vote for me! Yet you may not want to shop in a women's clothing shop, right? So what you can do is, you can always unlike the page after the contest is over. ;) Simple, right? So here is how you can vote for me:

Visit this facebook page: M2M Collection (click here)

Like the M2M Collection page first.

In the page's photos there's an album named "Show Me Ur Style Contest".

In the album, you may find my picture with the name Iliana Sulaiman.

If i'm not mistaken my pic is in the 3rd line in the album.

I'm contestant No.10.

Okay so that's it. Vote me y'all. Thank you! :)

Assalamualaikum and good day, peeps. :)

Hari ini permulaan hari yang tak berapa baik. Nak buka buku ilmiah tu macam agak mencabar sedikit. So tadi saya ambil peluang dengan minda yang tak keruan ni mentelaah buku lain.

Saya habiskan buku yang saya start baca kat dewan kuliah, like mentioned in the earlier post, Madeline Wickham's The Wedding Girl. Finished the whole book, and started a little bit on Sheila O'Flanagan's The Perfect Man. Tapi buku kedua tu baru baca sedikit, sebab tak lama lepas tu ada dapat hidayah sedikit untuk ulangkaji nota-nota Otorhinolaryngology (sounds sexy, isn't it?) yang tak habis-habis ni. Tapi tak lama kemudian surfing balik.

As i was blogsurfing, i came across 'Cabaran 50 novel setahun'. Thanks to Ain Sabrina, tuan punya Muslimah's Hour. She's been in this for i don't know how long. Since i have just finished a book, i thought i might join a lovely society of readers and take the challenge. Why not? Right? It's time to pick up a positive habit that i left behind for quite a time already. Reading books.

So may next post shall be about the synopsis of the book. For those who don't favour reading novels, i suggest you to skip the upcoming entry. If you love reading, or a fellow who's intending to take up reading as hobby, it's an honour to share my fiction digs with you all. :)

Okay. So,

Beberapa hari lepas after lunch, sambil menunggu proses peristalsis berlaku dengan jaya, saya berbual-bual dengan kawan baik saya Suzana. Ada beritahu Sue yang saya amat berminat dengan tarian dan bercadang untuk masuk kelas tarian kontemporari sewaktu cuti semester nanti. Mungkin juga angan-angan semata. Tapi memang betullah, saya minat.

So semalam, dia ajak saya pergi satu kelas tarian zapin kat pusat Mahasiswa USMKK. Menarik. Zapin is one of the traditional dances that interests me the most. The rhythm and the moves are just awesome, fast and artsy. Esok kelas tu. Pukul 9 pagi. Kalau sesiapa yang berminat dengan tarian zapin boleh la join. 9 pagi. Kalau tiada aral melintang, saya berkemungkinan besar masuk kelas tu esok. Tapi sekarang pukul 2 pagi pun belum tidur, so mungkin ada aral besar melintang jalan. But we'll see. Eheh.

.urim and thummim.

Good day! :)

Ok. Popular bookstore is now officially a forbidden place for me.

I can't set a foot in there without getting hooked by at least 2 titles! And considering the current balance in my acct, i'm relatively paying through the nose for them!

I have just shelved another 3 Paulo Coelho's (uuu..the dark green nots..uhuk uhuk..) with 1 still unread (have just started by 2 pages) Yet, i had a very hard time setting my feet OUT of the store, drooling over "South Africa, The Wild Paradise" by Franck Fouquet. And to those who are still wondering my next birthday prezzie, surprise me with "Travelers' Atlas" by Dorsling Kindersley (publisher)! I'll love you infinitely!! :D

Okay..so how has the week been. Let see..CFCS done...(oh no! the neverending data & community programme reports!), books read (fictions people, fictions,) flu recovered, and watched lotsa Hindi films! Haha what has got into me? Hollywood to Bollywood?? Blame Powell Roy and Renuka for this! ;P I was housemate with Renuka and Atiq during CFCS and happen to transfer loads of Hindi movies from Renuka. The aftermath - fallen for Shah Rukh Khan again, haha, since the ancient "Kuch Kuch Hota Hai". I was hooked for no romance reason okayy..there were actually a lot that i can learn by bollywood movies, so i realised. In "ChakDe! India", i discovered that someone looking like Seh Kee (my coursemate) may have been an Indian! By nationality/origin & may speak by the language of Hindi!! These Indians might easily be mistaken for other nationality and treated as aliens in their own country, should they ever go to the Western India or other part than the Northeastern India. North-East India is ethnically, linguistically and culturally very distinct from the other states of India. And according to Wikipedia, this region is officially recognized as a special category of states. Its states consist of Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Meghalaya, Manipur, Mizoram, Nagaland, Sikkim and Tripura. They speak by the mothertongue of Assamese, Bengali, Bodo (yes, it's a language) and Manipur. So as i googled and google-mapped, it was just, wow. What a beautiful, diversed world we live in.

In "Om Shanti Om!", i noticed a line that is exactly what i read in Coelho's "The Alchemist". As Shah Rukh Khan say, "when you really want something, the world will help you to come to that.", Coelho has also wrote in his #1 bestseller, similarly, "And, when you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it." and i thought, the scriptwriter must've read Coelho.

Haha so i think i'll keep feeding my Bollywood crave by getting good ones from Renuka. ;P

And oh, my double-become-triple room now is double room again. Ira has got a room for herself, after she had been working hard for it the past 5 months. The funny thing is, for the previous months, whenever she go to HEP's Kak Syikin or Murni's Mr.Ismadi, the answers she'll get are just, "there's no more room", "we have nothing to offer." Once she went to Mr. Ismadi with her uncle, who happens to be a friend of HEP big boss Mr.Hafiz, Mr.Ismadi straight away gave her a list of 5-6 rooms with unoccupied beds. What the fish! So the offices are in a conspiracy to always make things hard for students or what? Unbelievable. For 5 friggin months! Despite her effort she got nothing, and suddenly that.

I can't deny the relief of having less people in the room , though. :P

And btw, i was approached by Abg Mie for this year's Sukad Female Tennis captain.

I.

Do.

NOT.

Want.

This.

Arggghh!!! But i don't know to whom shall i shove entrust the post to. It'll be irresponsible for me to just say no without suggesting a replacement. In this year's team, there are two 5th year (exam), two 3rd year (exam), and a 2nd year (freshie in the team, never been to Sukad, can't let her handle).

So u see, Arggghh!!! Darn it.

I don' t know. Now i just try not to think about it. I just go to the court and play.

Urim and Thummim. Be it white, or black? Black. Please.

p/s: i am just referring to the fiction's urim thummim by the way. nothing israelite biblical shall i do. i'll stick to solat istikarah, thanks. :)

It’s like,

when you’re excited about a girl, and you see a couple holding hands, and you feel so happy for them. And at other times, you see the same couple, and they make you so mad. And all you always want, is to feel happy for them because you know, that if you do, then it means that you are happy, too.
