I have successfully changed my blog skin! Friendster has come up with amazing templates,just like those for blogspot. I love my new blogskin! It has a soft touch to it. 

I can now update using HTML codes too!

However, I tried to view my new, revamped blog using a lot of other desktops, but it still shows my old blogskin! Does anyone know how to settle this matter?  Is there anything from the settings that I need to activate?

Anyhow, a few changes. I do not know how to deactivate the time and date that will be shown on the start of every of my entry(if you can already view my new blogskin). Therefore, I will type the actual date and time at the end of every entry.

Another change is, I won’t be using anymore tagboard. Do leave comments at the end of the entry that you would like to comment on.

Much Loves,
Jumaliyah.

1 year ago, I thought all my hopes and dreams were dashed when I didn’t do well for my O Levels. I thought it was the end; no junior colleges want me, no polytechnics want me, only ITE.
.
"It’s the end ar,Ju" my friend would say. "Who said that no one will succeed in ITE? There are a few cases of students who does well and manage to go to polytechnic after that. There are a few beneficial, new, courses too" my sister would say.
.
I was really down and despaired as I knew I had given my best for my O’s. But probably was not well enough.
.
My mother and I surveyed many schools and finally she decide that I should just proceed with ITE instead. I did not like it. And I DO know why. I do not want to waste my time there(ITE) as I know, I believe that I could succeed with a diploma.
.
I have nothing at all against ITE students. I just know myself better that I can do better and I do not want a Higher Nitec certificate. Call me arrogant, boastful or over-confident. I totally do not mind because different people have totally different opinions regarding education.
.
I believe, it is best to go with something that you really love, have deep interest in and have the confidence that you can succeed. It is also, I believe, good in a way if you go against your parents and learn something beneficial for yourself, your future, instead of always listening to your parents and ended up doing something that is none of your interests.
.
In addition to that, I really think that parents, how highly or lowly-educated they are, they just got to think out of the box that ,’Hey-This-is-S’pore-No-education-equals-to-Low-pay-job’. And yet again, parents tend to tell their kids "when you’re older,get a good job,a good wife…bla bla bla," when they obligate to their kids’ decision sometimes. Sadly, this happens mostly to Malay families.
.
I am happy with the school that I am in now. Though sometimes, most of the time, I do wish that I was a full-time student. I envy my friends who are in Polytechnics. They made cool friends there, although I believe none of them(my poly friends’ poly friends) are like me. My school mates are cool too. But being the youngest in class, I find myself rather put of place most of the time.
.
I am just afraid to talk to strangers who are 4 years and 4 years plus plus older than me. Maybe you, just like most people, are wondering why. But I really, really do not know how should I answer to that.
.
And I would like to clarify it with all you outdated people that my school’s certificate is well recognised. Firsty and most importantly, my school may be a private institution, but it is unlike SIM, standing on it’s own. MOE has approved that MDIS should be put under MOE private schools. According to my own knowledge, as long as a school is under MOE, it should be recognised by others too. Please go to MOE’s website for details. It is listed under List of Private Schools > Commercial Schools.
.
On the other hand, actually if the school is not wll recognised, it doesn’t really matter. Anyway when it comes to job interview, what matters most is how you sell yourself.
.
Once again, I have nothing against ITE or any other institutions. To my N/O Levels friends, please make a wise choice.

Thank God it is fasting month,I did not erupt due to anger. I guess I am not the only one. But I believe, no one likes people who beats around the bush.
.
I am not trying to blog about political issues or being racist here. I am just standing my ground. I am someone who totally hates people who jumped to conclusion. Although I got to agree that I do jump to conclusions most of the time too.
.
"Pledged ourselves as one united people,regardless of race,language or religion". If I could hurl vulgarities,I would. But no,I am not saying that. It doesn’t matter how high your education is and how fair your skin is,but at least learn how to appreciate my help,together with my colleague.
.
YOU DON’T JUST BARGED INTO OUR OFFICE AND ACCUSED US INDIRECTLY OF STEALING YOUR TEACHERS’ DAY GIFTSSSS!
.
Yes.it’s with 4 capital letter ‘S’ !
.
I know how it feels to have been passed the responsibility to pass the absent teachers’ gifts to them personally. But whatever it is,think wisely before you accused my colleague and I of stealing your gifts!
.
You are probably a desperate. BUT MY COLLEGUE AND I ARE NOT. We will purchase things with our already-low pay if we want something badly. Probably you bribed your kids to buy for you those gifts.
.
Who knows?
.
I’m damn angry with that nyonya lah. So what if she’s got flawless skin,got the height,got the body but is so unappreciative? I bet if God knows how unappreciative she is,God will take all that beauty gift from her.
.
My colleague and I knows that we are not teachers. But we helped you out. So at least be grateful. Not scold us with your squeeky,screechy voice!
.
Again,thank God it’s Ramadan. If not, this Jumaliyah will evolve to the old Jumaliyah and I can tell you it wouldn’t be a pleasant sight.
.
gahhh! So angry la ok! To all you smart alex; Work smart and brush up on your manners please!

How I wish my drawing could be made into a poster in the MRT. And if u have not guessed what the photo depicted, it’s an angry, short,pink, girl(which is me) and a tall,happy,rich, pole leaner.
.
Rich, high ranked worker(s) who do not know manners is a total turn-off. There was once, a lady clad in black coat, very well dressed, COACH  bag, but…was a POLE LEANER.
.
Where has all the courtesy go? I think Singapore can stop coming up with "Courtesy is the Best Policy" or "Be Kind. Pls Move to The Rear. Thank You" kind of posters. They should put up posters like my drawing(up there) instead.
.
Whoever agrees with me, raise up your hand.
.
This crowded MRT matter actually lead to this as well:


To be continued when FS recovered from Idk what. You know, FS has mood swings too.

Yeah,whatever. I do have people saying that I am childish, although I’m 17 years old. But let me question you this; You want to mature so fast for what?? Being a kid is the best damn thing lor. And I’m not acting cute. I’m just born to mature rather late on certain things.
.
When people ask me "why do you love pink?", I’ll reply "I think pink represents virginity". BUT, that doesn’t mean that when I grow older, married, already have a kid, I can’t like pink anymore lah.
.
Aiyah. Don’t bother asking me ‘why?’. I think you all will start scratching your head after listening to my explanation.
.
Anyhow, I’ve been eye-ing this Hello Kitty calculator to place it at work, for a few months. Bought it and now it’s nicely placed on my desk. 
                     
Even my colleague said it’s damn cute lah okay!
.
I am not a big fan of Hello Kitty cartoon shows. I just love their items. They always come in lively colours.
.
I want sidekick phone…! But tkde duet.. Bile nak gaji eh…

Having been running around for a few hours, I guess it will be great to ‘take 20′. That means, freedom after that 20 minutes are over.
.
I arranged the items on my messy table with new items that Lukman and his mother gave me yesterday. Take a look:-
                 
That AVON coin box and AVON red bag were given to me by Lukman and his mother. I did not know what to do with it initially so I brought it to work this morning, hoping that I could make full use of it. And yes I did. I removed all of my stationaries from the cute container that my colleague bought for me,and transferred them to the red hand-carry bag. I did not know what to do with the coin box though. So I put it by a corner as a decoration to my plain table.
.
My colleague was saying that she just realised how my table is filled with pink stuff. *laughs*
.
As what I have complained in my previous entry, I do not like coming to work anymore. Therefore, besides the kids, I need something else to make me look forward to come to work and stick my butt to this swivelling chair instead of always going out for fresh air and ended up,not completing work for the day.
.
I have a lot of free time now so let me explain. The photos in the photo-frame will always remind me the reason why I am here,at work. The pink colour frame is to just make me happy and cheery each time I looked at it. The blur furry pen given by my cousin is just amazing. It is light and damn feathery. How I love feathery stuff!Unfortunately,it’s the only blue on my desk. The rest of the do-not-need-to-mention items being pink, will always make me want to touch them and yeah…go to work just to touch them. *???*
.
Okay you know what? I LOVE GOING TO WORK NOW! *smiles widely*
21 August 2008. 5:29pm

I do not know. Maybe I have been right all along and ended up this way. Or maybe I have been making nothing right at all but I improvised myself that makes me where I am now.
.
I hate coming to this place. I love it initially. But now,I do not know. I ain’t quitting. Definitely no. All because I have no where to go if I quit. Though I know, I can always, anytime, turn back to my recent jobs.
.
This place makes me sleepy. And I am in this place right now. I can’t get out. I am stuck. I have about 47 minutes to freedom.
.

The reason why I come back everyday is because of them:

These kids(plus most of them not in pictures), welcomed me warmly each time they saw me.
.
Nadia Tay: A tiny,little girl who loves clinging on to me. She reminds me a lot of,Bebe,my youngest sister.
.
Oh Wen Ting: Someone who is so naughty yet so sweet.
.
Haifaa: Someone so honest and humble. Your humble soul totally makes me feel that I am so disgusting. Why? Because I have never met a small girl as humble as you.I was not even like you when I was 8 years old. I am not as kind as what you wrote about me. Miss Ju is very jahat,really.
.
Kelly(QiQi) and Kemmy: You girls remind me so much of me and my best friends. Wherever there is Kelly,there will be Kemmy. Good luck in your friendship okay. May you Barbies last forever,like how I want my friendship with all my BFFs to be.
.
And my other lovely kids. There are just too many of them that I could not possibly state all.
.
This is the question: Where did I go right? I want to be a permanent teacher. What am I doing in a media world now? I want to get out of this cocoon.
.
Maybe the best is,to countdown the days that I will be getting my dip. And then I will proceed on with advanced dip. And then I will get engaged. To teaching.
.
BUT,the problem is…..oh,shut up Ju. The only problem is you do not want to move your lazy ass around!
.
And by the way, I can’t believe time flies so fast!

20 August 08. 6:08pm

I am definitely bored at work so I guess I can blog about all the birthday parties that I’ve been attending to.

.
The 1st birthday party that I went to was Fatin’s 17th birthday. What I love most about her birthday was her cakes! There were 3 cakes altogether. Although Lukman and I managed to only taste 2 out of the 3, we did not regret anything. After all, Lukman was enjoying his favourite beef stick and I was enjoying my jelly.

.
And I’m referring to those kiddy jellies. Don’t offer me ‘agar-agar’. I will throw it away.

.
Anyhow, photos were taken using Fatin’s camera. And I have not asked from her yet.

.
The following weekend was Trish, my schoolmate, birthday. Her food were delicious. Again, I went with Lukman and it was unfair how he ate Indian food better than me and he,too,can speak Hindi,just like Trish’s family. wth.

.
Whatever it is, there were Briyani, Naan, Gulap Jamun, Tandoori Chicken, Green Chilli Sambal,etc. They were nice! =D Okay, pictures!

Above: Trish and I.
.

Above(L-R) : Dimple, Pretty, Trish, Me (a.k.a cute. hahahah!)

.
Then, the following week was National Day. I did not celebrate it at all. Ok,maybe I did. It was at work. I was enjoying myself, singing along during the…sing-a-long session? At the same time, I was reminiscing times when I was in secondary school, hosting National Day event with my best friend, Daniel. Oh well… OKAY,a photo taken with my 2 lovely colleagues; Shila and Ming Ming.

Above(L-R): Me, Shilah, Ming Ming.

.
Okay,you know what? I am too lazy to elaborate about each event already. So,just view the pictures okay?

.
Uwais’ Birthday.

.
Nephew Mahadi, Abah, Cik Pau, Abang Amy,(I forgot,who else?) Birthday.

Above:Niece Puteri Amira Huru’in.
