its all about memeMEme

Apparently I've been tagged by Naz. Apparently so. Hence, I shall do it! Plus, I'm a bit meme junkie. I think I've done a lot of versions of this meme! haha. So, I guess I have to think up of six other random facts about me. Which is not exactly hard as I am as random as it gets! haha. Alright.


6 Random Facts about Me that You Might Know But What the Hell

1. i am not a patient person.

YOU WOULD DEFINITELY KNOW THIS. Haha! I am. Very am. Which is why I hate doing housework. Housework deserves a lot of patience. A few days ago, I changed my sheets and found out that the clean ones couldn't fit round the mattress. Fastforward 30 minutes later: I'm yelling at my sheets from sheer frustration. Yes. Yelling. HAHA AM SO SAD. Oh well, at least I know I am an idiot when I'm being impatient. Sometimes this type of impatience is good especially doing work. During work, I will always want all the facts upfront first and finish it asap. But it could also be bad where, at tough moments, I will give up too soon because I'm too impatient to wait for progress. Some people say I'm demanding. No, darling, just impatient.

2. i detest stupid fads like tights and skinny jeans.

I remember there was a time when skinny jeans were only worn by mat rempits and their girlfriends. hahaa! Yes, indeed. Me and my friends used to call it 'skanky pants' because, well, only skanks (read: mat rempit) would wear anything so hideous. And now it's all over in Vogue. Wtf? Do you think they saw it coming?? That's why they're always wearing it?? I can't pull off a skinny jeans obviously because AM NOT SKINNY. Plus, I still thinks it looks ugly. Except when it's worn by stick-thin models, that is. And the issue about tights. I don't think it looks nice on anyone! It's lycra for god's sakes! You look like you're heading to the gym or the swimming pool, whichever comes first.

Okay alright maybe I should clarify not all fads are stupid. Colour yellow? Love. And I'm thinking of getting a vest myself. (once, after looking at old pictures of my mother, i was saying to myself, man, vests will never come back! right on, girl). But I hate it when people wear it for the sake of a FAD. Like, you would see all these girls wearing tights because it's IN. But once it is not IN anymore, you won't see that piece of garment much. It's like, they know it's RIDICULOUS but because of a FAD, they buy them by a truckload. If I like something, fad or not, I'll buy it. I'm still wearing boho skirts and everyone knows that style is so gone gone gone.

3. i wish i have some kind of musical talent.

I'm sure any music lover would have this kind of wish. What's greater than creating something you love? Hence, when I was 13, I took up piano. And well, it was hell. I enjoyed it but the times I do not enjoy it outweighs the time that I do. During Form 5, I quit my piano lessons under the circumstances that I want to focus on my SPM. But really, it was just an excuse. An instrument that I really wanted to play is - guitar. All my friends know how to play guitar. I've got 6 girls who knows how to play! And gg even created her own songs! My mother won't let me because it's 'unladylike' and there is this warped misunderstanding that playing instruments with strings in Islam is sinful. So, in UIA, I asked around and found out it's not exactly true. Hah! But still, it's time wasted plus I am not sure what to do with my molding piano. haha. I don't really have time to learn to play now. Maybe. But it seems that it's slowly becoming those 'I wish' things...

4. i was an indie fan turned ghetto gangsta shawty what up???

True. When I was in high school, I have this habit where I go 'Hey, there is this really great song, listen to it!' to my friends. I was the type to search songs. I would go to myspace and check out all these bands - THE MORE OBSCURE, THE BETTER. I have certain friends whom I shared songs with. If I liked a movie, I'd check it's soundtrack and download. And I downloaded a lot. Every single thing. Still do. haha. I'd go to all this online communities in lj and find out more about indie songs. Hence, I found Mirah, Explosions in the Sky, Mogwai (kinda mainstream-ish now), Badly Drawn Boy, Elliot Smith etc. etc.

At this point, some indie fan will sneer and go 'Those aren't indie indie.' Oh, did you know that indie fans are also music elitist? haha. Well, I'm not an indie person anymore. Why? Because I just don't have the time anymore! I listen to radio a lot now. Plus, I bluetooth songs among my friends so... I listen to mainstream R&B and hip-hop now. GASP. But it's true. I love Lil' Mama and Timbaland. Kiss kiss by Chris Brown? I like! Kanye West is a genius - possibly buying his CD soon. You are more likely to find Daddy Yankee and Sean Paul in my phone now. I sing 'My Humps' or 'Party Like a Rockstar' outloud.

Basically, I've disgraced my indie fan self. haha!

5. i am not excited about my coming 18th birthday.

My birthday is in April so it's coming real soon and... I'm just not up for it. Can I skip it? Come on, give a girl a break. haha. Why? I haven't met anybody who looks forward to becoming nineteen. So, eighteen is the pitstop. The last time where you actually look forward in becoming a year older. When you're nineteen, you don't go 'I can't wait to be 20!'. Plus, it's a domino effect from now on, eh? Before you know it you're 25. Then 35. 40! No! I have a cousin who said to me, 'Whatever my age is, I still think I'm 18'. She's 20 plus now. Acute Peter Pan Syndrome. So, yes, being eighteen to me isn't all that. Instead it just tells me that this is it. You can't play around anymore. You're getting older and this is where all the important decisions in your life are made. You can't kid around thinking you're a teenager anymore. Technically, you are but you know it's gonna end soon, right? Girl, you have to stop thinking that life is a dream.

Damn, this is depressing me.

6. i am amused and tired of the expectations of an english student imposed on me.

I think I will elaborate more on this on another post. But I really find it funny how people think that we are the 'dumb' kids and yet, when they don't understand a word or a passage, they refer to us! It's funny. Last time, my roomies would go 'Atikah, what does this mean?' all the time! Even though their dictionary is right in front of them. And if you guys study FIM, I'm sure you'll find incredibly bombastic words like 'vicegerent'. 'Vicegerent' is not in the dictionary by the way - I checked. So, there are some times when I don't know the words myself. And they would just stare at me accusingly as though saying 'What kinda English student are you??'. Garh!

And I think the fact that we are English students means that we have to be opinionated most of the time. I think I've been asked countless of times what I think about Shakespeare. Always Shakespeare. What about Chaucer? Charles Dickens anyone? Not that I can answer any of them! haha! I'm only doing foundation for now, people. Please give me time to learn about these poets. Once, a friend of mine was planning to do a drama. So, she told me about the story, the characters etc. I thought she was just informing me. But later she asked, 'So, tell me what theme this drama should have.' So, I had to have her repeat the storyline, the characters and everything.

See? I'm sure the other kids do not get this treatment outside of the classroom. I'm sure Engineering students won't get this - 'Bernoulli, eh? WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT IT?'. Or, Architecture, 'Tell me why that window is the focal point of the house and how it affects the foundation of the bla bla bla'. Or, even Medic students, 'I've got this mole right on my... should I be worried??'. haha! Maybe they do get silly questions like these but... it's so annoying!
