Nossa!!!!!!I really had a great and wonderful time of my life for the pass 4 days together with Amirul....I think these few days was the happiest time of my life in Brazil!Finally,I know I´m not alone in Brazil,at least there is someone else here with me from Malaysia but the sad thing is he is going back this Sunday.*Sob Sob*!I sent him to the bus station today and I really got emotional when his bus left...Ok!So let me bring you ppl back to last Saturday when we first met.Actually I found out about Amirul through the Internet and finally we decided to meet because he was leaving soon.So,when I went to the bus station to pick him up,I didn´t really know who I was looking for.Well,I have seen his pic but in real life its really different.Anyway,I spotted this guy who looked like him but I wasn´t really sure but I had no choice so I just patted him on the back and he turned..Luckily it was Amirul..if not I will be so shy!kekekekek.
Later that night,we went to a Sukiyaki party together with my host parents and later we spend the whole night talking until about 4.30 a.m. only did we dropped of to sleep and we had to wake up at 7 a.m. the next day to go to Hopi hari with Rio from Indonesia and Ricardo from Ecuador was really crazy and funny...and I was the only gurl there!!!!!During out rides,Rio was really funny coz he is scared of heights and we all had to really persuade him to come with us and the funny thing is after all the rides...he is like "wow!!!!I want to go again!!!Lolz.We Really had a blasting time there at Hopi Hari.The fun we all had wasn´t so much of the rides..but more of the time we all had together.I really enjoyed that day.We literally spend the whole day there.We left Terminal Barra Funda with a bus at around 10 a.m and we only got back at around 10 p.m.After that crazy trip,someone suggested that we all go for a drink somewhere and we all ended up at a roadside store.By the time I got back was almost 12.30 am midnight...because Amirul and I got lost while going home..We missed the bus stop but thank goodness we managed to find our way home!Monday!!!!!Huh,I skipped school coz Amirul was here..He was supposed to go back in the afternoon after going to the bank but he had some problems taking out his money and so he had to stay another day and go to the bank first thing in the morning the next day.I was delighted coz Amirul was staying another day...huhu!So,we decided to go to the cinema and catch a show and we ended up watching Harry Potter 3.*Interesting*.Finally today...skipped school again and Amirul woke me up at about 10.30 p.m. 1)Breakfast 2)Bank 3) Lunch 4)Bus Station....We reached Tiete Bus Station about 1.30 p.m and Amirul bought a 3.30 p.m bus ticket to go back to Pouso Alegre-Minas Gerais.We spend our time by walking around and we stopped by to have a drink at some cafe...The Bus station was really impressive..Just reminds me of KLIA in Malaysia!Jeng...jeng...jeng....*3.30 p.m.* The time has come for Amirul to leave...It was really painful for me to say goodbye to him.I probably will only get to see him in the next 5 years coz next February he will be going to Rome to get his International Bachelor in an International Business school
there.By that time,I´m not even back in Malaysia..So,I dont really know when will I ever get to see him again!!!Anyway,as long we keep in touch I know that our friendship will always be there...Ate Mais!Tchau...beijossssssssssssssssssssssssssss

Well.....let me update you ppl out there what happened this week....On Tuesday,I attended the Installation of The Rotary Club of Guarulhos which happens to be my host club also. It was held in the Rotary Foundation building and for the first time it was nicely decorated with flowers and ribbons all over..It was a grand Installation..Even the district gavenor, members from various clubs in Guarulhos and Rotarators attended this function!!!!!The new President is now Rtn. Miguel and during his speech which I did not understand at all...he just couldn´t control his tears...it was really touching.I personally like him alot...he is the most friendly Rotarian around...Well, the other days was as usual...school,school and school! Nothing really much is happening in school except that everybody is busy preparing for the Festa Junina which is this Saturday..My classmates are all busy practicing their dance and of course I would be the most supporting audient...kekekke!Hope to see Amirul and friends this weekend....Tchau & beijosssssssssssssss!

-Day 87 in Brazil-
-19-06-2004
-Saturday
-11.35 p.m
Weekends...........GREAT! But today was different.I had my portuguese test......and as usual,I had to dragged myself out of bed at 8 am.Apart from being nervous and scared I was kinda tired also...slept at only 1.30 am yesterday and with just 6 and a half hours of sleep...I really could have dropped dead!But as soon as I reached the destination..my entire sleepy feeling just faded away...That was because I was so happy to see the rest of the exchange students that I personally have not seen for a long time..As soon we open our mouths...we just could not control it!!!!Finally....it was the moment..jeng jeng jeng!!!!I felt like screaming during the test..*ergggggg*
I found it so hard coz this the first test for me and I just came in March wherelse the rest all came in January.....That means I´m really slow compared to them.But at least my examiner said she was impressed with me coz I can speak so well with just being here lest than 3 months and that I can speak 4 languages...kekekeek!That really made my day!Finally...THE END of the test!!!!!*whosh*
Now,next event on the list....Festa Junina with Rotex..It was more like a farewell party and last gatherings for some of the exchange students who are going back after 1 year here.The party was just fantastic and as usual...there was so much food again....Just had to control myself.*sob sob*.Made many new friends but also had to say many goodbyes to many of the exchange students...Especially to Anouck from Belgium...1 of my good friend.Befor I left, we hugged each other so tight that we did not want to let go of each other..Everybody was felling rather down that evening! Sometimes when a friendship is made..is kinda hard to let go especially a far distance friendship..I hope I won´t take it so hard when I leave for Malaysia next year....Beijou!!!!!

HOOBASTANK LYRICS
"The Reason"
I'm not a perfect person
There's many things I wish I didn't do
But I continue learning
I never meant to do those things to you
And so I have to say before I go
That I just want you to know
I've found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
and the reason is you
I'm sorry that I hurt you
It's something I must live with everyday
And all the pain I put you through
I wish that I could take it all away
And be the one who catches all your tears
Thats why i need you to hear
I've found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
and the reason is You [x4]
I'm not a perfect person
I never meant to do those things to you
And so I have to say before I go
That I just want you to know
I've found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
and the reason is you
I've found a reason to show
A side of me you didn't know
A reason for all that I do
And the reason is you

-7.44 p.m
Well....looks like I have been "Lost in Transition" for the past 1 week.Have you guys watch the show..it was played in the plane while on my way here to Brazil..It was a nice show though!I just didn´t have the mood to blog..Vera Vera..did you like the Jota quest concert you went to last week?...This phrase has been buzzing around me for the past 1 week..Anyway,the concert was excellent..the atmosphere was just wonderful..I really had a blasting time there!last Sunday,I went to the cinemas to watch The day after tomorrow.It was a great disappointment coz it was partly because it was in Portuguese and the other part was because it was not what I expected the movie to be!They spend so much money on advertising but it wasn´t that great after all.Lolz!Monday,Tuesday,Wednesday..school,school and more school!Finally,yesterday and today was public holidays...so I could sleep in late and relax...haha!I went to the cinemas again yesterday and we watch a Brazilian movie..its about a famous Brazilian singer who died of AIDS.
Today...a brand new day..Saw collin on9 in IRC and he told me that he got the Daimler Christler scholarship that he applied for..I was so happy and excited for him!I just felt like hugging and congatulating him...but too bad..too far ad..in Brazil lah!I was shock too how did he get the scholarship?well..he saw the advert in the Star newspaper and just applied for it and later sat for the test...Not until today..that he knew he was selected...They called him up and told him to go for his training next week at Shah Alam..It seems that in the whole Malaysia only 22 ppl was selected and I guess Collin was just 1 of the lucky one!After 3 years of mechanical engineering training..then he will be able to work for Daimler Chrysler Malaysia or maybe even be lucky enough to go to Daimler Chrysler Germany..just like How keen,my other lucky friend!
Lives a journey that is kinda hard to predict!We meet...we share..we gain..we cherish..we appreciate den all of a suddent everything seems to be in reverse mode..we loose...we fall..we just have nothing nice in life..don't even know why I will feel this way?I guess this is just part of a journey in life!When I think that all of my friends are leaving and going their separate ways after schooling days...I tend to get quite sad..*Sob Sob*Sometimes in life..if we don't learn how to let go of certain things..we may never know how much we appreciate and cherish it.But..why do we always have to learn things in the hard way??Like a blossomed friendship..we may not see each other in like 10 years or more..but once we see each other..the friendship is still there and will remain there forever..So friends out there....I hope I may see all of you back someday...and our friendship will last and remain forever!Friends4ever!!!Love you guys...Muaskkkkkkkkkkkkk :)
