Behind that Shiny Resume by Jasmine Yow

Living a life as an overachiever student is very complicated.
Your parents and teachers push you to the limit and unaware of your own passion and feeling.

Depression is very common among youth, and loneliness make the situation worst. Weight changes, sleep disturbance and deep fatigue are the symptoms of depression.



Whenever I think of my experience during A Level and my 2 years uni life in Bath, I can't quite describe all those feeling and honestly I can't remember most of my feeling for the duration of these 4 years of my life. Whenever I close my eyes and try recall the memories , all I can remember is loneliness and hunger. Luckily, I have a blog that remind me of details I forgot.

Failing my papers during my second year in Bath is the peak of my depression period. I can't even read the examinations paper and I had almost a blank paper answer paper to submit. I even fail on paper that I studied and understand well because of the anxiety. Of course I am very sorry for my parents when they have to answer these questions: why is Sing Sing is not in the UK? Why is she so fat?

I am a cliche because I can excel only in my comfort zone, where less is expected from me and clearly I am a little bit above average. It doesn't really matter, because I am happy and healthy and I found my way out of depression.


Thank god for the second opportunity and I will make my parents proud of me again one day.

Lagenda Budak Setan

Masih ingatkah anda ketibaan perpustakaan bergerak setiap dua minggu adalah amat dinanti-nantikan kerana itu bermakna kita dapat meminjam novel terbaru Ahadiat Akashah.

Masih ingatkah anda betapa terujanya kita apabila novel lagenda budak setan sebanyak 5 jilid akhirnya dibukukan menjadi sebuah novel yang sangat tebal dan kita menitiskan air mata apabila membaca kisah cinta yang sangat menyayat hati ini.



Masih ingatkah anda apabila Keterina diterbitkan sebagai penyambung dan penyudah kepada kisah cinta agung Kasyah dan Ayu?



Sekarang kisah cinta agung itu akan ditayangkan di layar perak pada 3 Jun. Farid Kamil sebagai Kasyah, Lisa Surihani sebagai Ayu dan Fazura sebagai Ayu yang telah menjalani pembedahan plastik, Que haidar sebagai Azmi.

Mengapa setiap kali aku cuba melupakan kau, kenangan kita akan muncul dengan cara yang paling tidak diduga?

Diary of a Wimpy Kid


I was very attracted by the poster and have the chance to actually watched it yesterday.

It was funny and different. I bought the book before I actually watched the movie but I flip through the book while watching it.


The story line is a little bit different but every funny part is in the movie. I can't stop laughing and I am looking for good laugh for a very long time since The Fonejacker and Family Guy.


I just finished read the books, Diary of a Wimpy Kid, Rodrick Rules and The Last Straw. I definitely will go for the other 2 books as soon as the paperback version available in KK.


Go and watch this if we share the same sense of humour!
