Let it be like this for a while.

New post, new background, new color theme, and a new header. Let's just say that I've just given this blog a fresh new breath even though it has never breathe before nor lived. Now now, cut the crap.
Apparently I was bored today so I spent the day revamping the layout and designing the header. The layout doesn't take much time because all I did was changing the color codes that I previously set up for the previous layout. The background, those sprocket holes, took only a little while because they're just holes I did just to fill the blank a little. What took some time was the header. I waited long just to think of what to put in it.

Anyways, the city line, or silhoutte or whatever you call it was based on one of a friend's work. Kimal.
Thanks goes to him.

I know, I know. It's not that much of a change anyway. The wrappers are pretty much still the same. I thought of changing it all way through but you know, laziness prevented that from happening. The choice of colours may seem somewhat moody but never mind. At the very least, it makes coloured pictures pop out. : D
At least, that's what I think.

Fine :) I'll pluck you instead.

It's now a week since the result day and more than a week since I last updated. Actually, the night before the SPM results were out I had written a post wishing all the best and good luck to those who'll be taking results the next day but uh, you see, there's always technical problems waiting just around the corner, seeking the perfect time for an ambush and ruin the day. Well, mine was ruined okay and it wasn't published. Anyway, it doesn't matter. Probably most people had received tons of wishes already in their phones that time.

How's SPM result?
Alhamdulillah, everything is fine. Even received a sarcasm from my sister. When she knew about my result, she said, "Oh, muallaf ye?". That is a perfect way to congratulate your brother.
Sigh. Malukan?
They say you reap what you sow right? Oh well, I guess that's the punishment for sleeping 80% of time during Pendidikan Islam classes. You've been paid back in cash man Naim. Way to go!
A- for Pendidikan Islam. I guess I deserve that.

So, now what? Real life starts now you say? I don't know man. My real life has begun ever since I was born. None of the parts from my timeline are fake. Are you telling me that all these while you were a fake?  HAHA! Okay stop, sorry that I got carried away. Please, don't get offended. Is that even offensive? Nah. : P

Now now, since SPM results were out, quite a lot asked me which Uni I'll be going for. Man, that's a hard question to answer. It would be much easier if you give me the money. Money talks.

If it sinks, it's scholarsheep. Okay. I know that's lame. Shut up.

Chasing a Rainbow

Saturday. It was suppose to be a calm day but I woke up the day with a bang. A friend woke me up earlier than usual. And that was damn ugh. What dream I was having in my sleep vanished straight away from my memory. Due to sudden awakening maybe? Everyone woke up and prepared early, not wanting the same thing that happened last Saturday to happen again.

And so, the daily routine began. While I was tidying up my locker, I found a film strip under a bulk in my drawer. It was morning, and the angle of the sun rising at that time made the sunlight to fell into my dorm in streaks of light through the old wooden window. Since my locker was set facing the window, I, happened to be standing in front of my locker at that moment, held up the film towards the window and to my surprise, the film happened to be the first roll I shot using my Yashica. I had it processed and printed before but never scanned.

I was ecstatic because I thought it was lost for a long time already. After inspection was over, I took the film strip along with my camera and had it scanned at a nearby photo center.

The results:

I can't quite remember exactly when I shot these. But most were during a cheering event for a rugby match.

It rained throughout the noon and evening. By evening, the rain started to recede. I was on my way back to dorm when I spotted a rainbow in the sky. Back then, I was in front of the tennis court of the West Wing. The view of the rainbow was pretty much blocked by a row of trees in front of the court. I strode faster and made it upstairs of the Overflow building. I wanted to take a shot of the rainbow and upstairs Overflow would provide a better view. Sadly, by the time I reached there, the rainbow had gone in just a matter of seconds. Quite a frustrating moment.

From now on, I'll be more ready when it rained in the afternoon. Although I missed one, I'll try not to miss the next.

The rainbow's sudden disappearance taught me a lesson.

Once an opportunity is there, you have to grab it fast.

Really fast.

Time and tide wait for no man. And so do rainbows.
