Inner Peace

Hey guys!

Well I'm back officially! :) Yes it took me ages and all but I wanted my 120th post to be about something that meant something to me. So for me i guess right now at this point of my life Inner Peace is a big thing. I have read articles and have had a ton of people telling me what they think inner peace is and how can it be obtained. Though i must say with all of these thoughts on the subject I have come to realize that inner peace is something that varies amongst different people. For some inner peace is obtained by seeking and praying, for others inner peace is obtained by doing whatever they want that brings them the most happiness. So when i came to this conclusion I started thinking what does inner peace mean to me?

Well for me I guess inner peace means that I have rid myself of worrying about petty stuff and being a person that is fully satisfied by all God's givings. With knowing what inner peace means to me I must admit I haven't reached it but what i do know is that now that i have this realisation in me I definately am on my way. It has occured to me before why do I keep worrying about the smallest of things and overthink almost every matter of my life. Also I remain thankfull to god i have to say for all that god has given me like perfect health, a great family, a roof above my head, and just for the sun shining outside my window but maybe it comes with the fact of me being young and not wise enough when i think of the luxury in this world that I may not have and wish I could have.

Some say it is human to never be fully satisfied but I want to be the exception. So I hope when I grow old and before death comes knocking at my door that I have achieved Inner Peace by then.

My Schooling Experiences Wrapped Up

Hey guys,

So i was just like thinking yesterday night about everything you know. The deep thoughts like the hard lessons I've learnt through out my schooling years, the way I've changed personally, my views on life and the people I've met in my course of schooling. Yes i am officially a Malaysian that is DONE with school. Of course theres college and university to look forward but I prefer to not categorise that as "school".

I still remember my primary school days. I had a friend called Yen Yen and i knew her since tadika. She stuck through with me and she taught me a lot she probably taught me that best friends and real friends will stick with you even when you are in the worse condition in your life.Then standard 5 came and i can't quite remember how it all happened but i got close to my first crazy bunch. Najihah, Shakirah, Fasiha, Nadzira, Diyana and Zulaikha a.k.a The Nuts. They were probably my first gang and the amount of ridiculous things we did were countless. Do you guys remember the kinda Burn Book thing?.... and boy can you guys even forget our nicknames and all the crushes you guys had lol. They taught me to be myself in a way I guess its thanks to them I got more open as a person and I was on my way. Unfortunately i also remember that September 2005 as well when we knew inside each of us it was time to part.

below: The Nuts! ( I even had an afro back then damn i was cool!) and Yen Yen, me and Manjira.

Then form 1 came in a brand new school, new people, new environment. It was a start from scratch kind of thing. I remember being nervous yet i was super hyper and friendly it was scary and that was so not me but it was good that inner friendly person came inside me because i made a ton of friends. I was close to syaza, arvin, shaun, vimal, weng hoh, athirah and now its practically like I'm strangers with these people i guess only Shaun hasn't totally bailed on me in a way lesson learnt people change, time changes things when it shouldn't. Yet I did make two best friends as well Tan Sze Yan and Alliya Fuad they were my exceptions i guess to that lesson because they have stuck with me through all the crap and I love them so much its hard to say it in words. I met Alliya the first and she stole my pen and as much as she denies it i'm sticking with my story just cause it makes things more interesting right alliya ;) Then came sze yan and can't remember exactly what we hit off on I think it was Supernatural and this girl has only gotten funnier by time and as much as she ditches us now lol i don't hate you andrea! :P

Then form 3 came and i met two amazing people Lina and Qamarina a.k.a QM ak.a Ribena apparently. They have been a blast to be with it and they truly colour my life. Lina you have been my GMTA person and all that texting I'm so sorry for increasing your bill lol. Qm i guess you have just made me laugh with your blurness and you have been there and i mean literally all "the" phone calls you know what i'm referring to so well thanks for that. Form 4 and Form 5 just bonded me, lina, alliya, qm, and sze yan tighter i guess when you go through the amount of shit we've gone through together where people you trust or thought were your friends turn their backs on you just reminds you better to cherish the ones who are true to you like you guys.

Of course they have been other friends which i have had a blast with them that is Divya Gowri, Sher Lin my hottie, Letticia (god i will never forget you!), Khairul (as much as you annoy me you are a good friend), and to all the rest of you out there which I've met on the road you guys have been awesome. Not to forget my debate family I love you people and my debate trainer and teacher who also taught me a whole bunch of things i didn't know and you could say debate made me more aware of world issues. I guess going to school for 11 years has not been a complete waste because it has made me who i am today, a stronger more sensible person. To alliya, lina, qm, sze yan i hope we don't change what we have because i have seen too many times how time makes people strangers thus I pray we pass the test of time.

Love you girls!!!

This What Debate Does To You

Hey ppl,

Lately my life seems to evolving around debate and well nothing else. My brains cells feel like they’re on overload mode and I’m becoming ‘ditzier’ by the second. Here’s why I say so:

Bio Teacher: Oestrogen and Testesterone hormones develop secondary sexual characteristics for respective genders. Like for guys deepening of voice and facial hair, for girls ‘memory glands’ and such

ME: *in a disbelief voice and in pure awe* OMG no wonder I can remember what happened in my childhood cos I didn’t have ‘memory glands’

*whole tuition class starts laughing except lina who doesn’t know why*

And when I said it only then I realized my teacher meant ‘MAMMARY GLANDS’ not “memory glands”

Very awkward moment seeing as too my tuition class is all girls and my teachers a guy. Yeap but well that’s the first time I saw him laugh that hard. Well I’m too tired until I don’t quite care, should just dye my hair next to blonde.

Also the same day before that I had debate practice and as usual I get P.O.I’ed by our trainer A LOT. Fell like im saying dumb things that’s why I get it the worst. Well once again not my fault. STUPID event that happened:

Me: *leaves script on table and moves to take a book to put on top o script cos the fan would blow it while I’m speaking.

*fan blows my script while I go get my book*

Aqil: *picks up my script (he’s my opponent btw in the debate)*

Me: *dramatically turns back and in full drama eye mode*
“DON’T TOUCH IT! DON’T!!!!!”

Aqil: *weirded out face but keeps picking my script* cos he’s helpful

Tim(trainer): *controls laughter like he’s just seen the most ‘kiasu’ person on planet Earth*
Lina n Qm: *Just burst out laughing*

Me: *covering up* Oh I was just joking Aqil. Thanks *feeling like someone pls shoot me I didn’t just do that*

Last stupid thing I just figured out, I think my trainer called me loud and obnoxious to my face but he meant it in a good way so I can whack a certain prawn yeap. Well that’s that im obnoxious who would have guessed i always thought i was soft spoken.

*This is what debate does to you*
*I should make a reality show it wud surely sell*
**warning don’t start to debate, cos there’s no way out**

Urs Truly,
Shanya

KDU Debate Competition 2010

Hey guys,

What’s it been more than ages I suppose since I’ve blogged. Well lately life has been beyond busy. We had KDU debate comp last month and it was really a great experience and we did really well for 1st timers and all :D We ranked 17th amongst 60 plus teams and I got the 10th best speaker but didn’t get a prize because there were 3 ppl tied for 8 and a couple for 9 before reaching me. But I still like te fact though I felt I could have been better.

Let me tell you more about the KDU debate

1st round – we went against SMK Bandar Baru Sungai Buloh I think and we went for a motion thw allow homosexuality to be taught in sexual education. We won J
2nd round – we went against Sri Garden International. Was kinda like worried you could say but it turned out well funny but well. I did a stupid thing though as usual by addressing the judge a guy a madam speaker..but I was like new so honestly I thought the timekeeper was the person well wtv stupid me. We went for a motion to do with global warming and how real it is BUT WE WON

3rd round – we went against KGV. Mmm interesting I tell you cos when we saw them we were like okay another normal team. Which they were except their whip a guy named arvind he’s well not very normal and he was good. Anyways we were in a shock for our life’s the started yelling sham! Shame! While we were speaking. I didn’t let it disturb me during my speech but after the round I couldn’t control losing it. Well a great experience none the less cos we went against the ppl we got number 2 in the whole comp wit the motion thw allow prisoners to vote. We lost incase you haven’t guessed already.

4th round – we went against Hin Hua. For some reason this round we were relaxed simply ocs after all the drama in the previous round I just felt dizzy and kinda ditzy. The great part was just the night before I asked QM to prepare for politics and the topic she did even if it was about china was similar. THW apply one child policy in India. I did a stupid thing yet again by trying out wat KGV did and said “Err” during QM’s speech instead of ‘hear hear!” and not only did QM spend a few seconds looking at me instead of talking, the Hin Hua ppl just looked at me like I just had a spaz attack and the judge looked like he was trying his best to refrain from laughing. Well we won the round

5th round- we went against MGS. It was a silent round. Aqil was really tired. And yeap mgs was very diplomatic and we debated a motion thw protect the celebrities not the paparazzi. We found out that we didn’t win and we kinda expected it. The next days results for who broke came the top 16, and at that time we didn’t know we were 17 but I couldn’t help but feel awesomely disappointed. Sigh. But it was a great experience thru and thru.

* U guys are probably wondering how did I place 10 with all the stupid things I did. Hmmm guess I did more better things than stupid things
**And qm,aqil thnx 4 being awesome teammates. Lina,divya and Leticia I just love you guys so much and you make our debate family what it is :D
*** Oh yeah up next UIA AND HELP!
