Five Emotions You Never Knew You Had

Some emotional states only have names in particular languages. Here are some examples:

1. Fiero (Italian): contented pride in achieving something just for oneself.
2. Amae (Japanese): the sweet feeling of being dependent on someone else.
3. Naches (Yiddish): the glow of proud pleasure that only a child can give to its parents.
4. Schadenfreude (German): the feeling you experience when you learn that your worst enemy has suffered some misfortune.
5. Ennui (French): the sophisticated, world-weary boredom most intensely felt by philosophers and intellectuals.

Paris Quotes ~

Introduction:

Paris is known as the City Of Lights...A city of culture...of fine dining and magnificent architecture ~ Paris is a city for lovers: lovers of art, lovers of history, lovers of...love <3

1) Paris is just incapable of being anything less than beautiful...even when it's grey and rainy... - Maroon 5

2) If you are lucky enough to have lived in Paris, then wherever you go for the rest of your life, it stays with you, for Paris is a movable feast.” 

3) I guess I wanted to leave America for awhile. It wasn't that I wanted to become an expatriate, or just never come back, I needed some breathing room. I'd already been translating French poetry, I'd been to Paris once before and liked it very much, and so I just went. 
Paul Auster 

4) I had enjoyed life in Paris, and, taking all things into consideration, enjoyed it wholesomely.
James Weldon Johnson 

5) I made the decision to come back to New York, quit my job and move to Paris.
Ed Bradley 

6) I stayed three weeks in Paris, fell in love with the city, and decided that I was born to live in Paris.
Ed Bradley


7) Paris is a beautiful city, and there’s such a nice emphasis on lifestyle — people aren’t obsessed with just work, they make time to have a life, enjoy great meals, etc. And I love the parks, and seeing the Eiffel Tower sparkle at night.Sofia Coppola  


8)Oh, it was so hard to leave Paris, just about my favorite city in the world.
Tony Visconti 


9) Paris is a hard place to leave, even when it rains incessantly and one coughs continually from the dampness.
Willa Cather 


10) When Americans shoot movies they aim at the entire planet. When the French make movies, they aim at Paris.
Jean-Jacques Annaud 


11) When we arrived in London, my sadness at leaving Paris was turned into despair. After my long stay in the French capital, huge, ponderous, massive London seemed to me as ugly a thing as man could contrive to make. 
James Weldon Johnson 


12) "Paris is the city in which one loves to live. Sometimes I think this is because it is the only city in the world where you can step out of a railway station—the Gare D’Orsay—and see, simultaneously, the chief enchantments: the Seine with its bridges and bookstalls, the Louvre, Notre Dame, the Tuileries Gardens, the Place de la Concorde, the beginning of the Champs Elysees—nearly everything except the Luxembourg Gardens and the Palais Royal. But what other city offers as much as you leave a train?" 
Margaret Anderson

New Blog!

Hey, check out my new blog! XD  http://ilovefranceharis.tumblr.com/

It all started when I was soooo bored today...decided to check my friends' profile...suddenly, i stumble upon this website! Signed up for it coz it looked interesting and voila! I now have 2 blogs! XD

Actually, that blog more like a picture blog, where I put pictures that I find interesting ~ Don't worry, I'll still update this blog as my blog with stories =)

Thanks, Ginny! It was your profile that I saw this wonderful website! :D

It's sad when the people you know become the people you knew...(T_T)

Offline...

You haven't been online since last Monday...Why? Is something wrong? Why do I keep thinking that it's my fault somehow? Prove me wrong by coming online coz I miss talking with you...=(

War!

War! War! War! ~ I don't know why, but I keep thinking of war lately... I even play out fantasy battles in my head! LOL...I wonder is this how it feels to be a God Of War? Always watching battles and planning strategies and stuff like that...I think I feel like I'm Ares (Greek God Of War), Mars( Roman God Of War) or even Kratos (the hero in the God Of War video game)...Even now, when Im writing this post, I'm thinking about a battle between Alexander The Great's army against the Romans...I know it's impossible coz they're in different eras...I think I have a problem, thinking bout wars...Can anyone help me?? Well, while waiting for that to happen, I'm off to my dreamland, thinking bout wars....

Ares

Mars

Kratos

War! XD

Parthenons and Pantheons

Well, since I was bored the other day, I decided to search about ancient architecture ~ Well, I found 4 buildings with almost the same names...Check it out! XD

Parthenon, Athens, Greece

Parthenon, Nashville, USA

Pantheon, Rome, Italy

Panthéon, Paris, France

The words "Pantheon" and "Parthenon" originates from the greek word, "Πάνθειον" which means "to every god". Yea, 3 of these were temples dedicated to gods ~

The one in Greece was a temple dedicated to Athena, goddess of wisdom as well as a treasury. Later, it was used as a church, then a mosque until the stupid Venetians destroyed the building. Currently, the Greek government is restoring the structure back to its glory days ~

The one in US is a life-size replica of the one in Athens.  It's an art museum.

The one in Rome was a temple dedicated to all of the Roman gods. Then, after Rome converted to Christianity, it was used as a church besides being the final resting place for several important people in Italy ~

The one is Paris was originally built as a church dedicated to St. Genevieve and to house the reliquary châsse containing her relics, but after many changes now functions as a secular mausoleum containing the remains of distinguished French citizens ~

I know this is boring....but Im bored...so, I decided to type this lo...

So, sorry, mes amis but I won't be online that much already ~  Bye!

Poems ~

Sonnet 18

Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate:
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And summer's lease hath all too short a date:
Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,
And often is his gold complexion dimm'd;
And every fair from fair sometime declines,
By chance or nature's changing course untrimm'd;
But thy eternal summer shall not fade
Nor lose possession of that fair thou owest;
Nor shall Death brag thou wander'st in his shade,
When in eternal lines to time thou growest:
So long as men can breathe or eyes can see,

So long lives this and this gives life to thee.


-William Shakespeare-


An Entrapment

My love, I have tried with all my being
to grasp a form comparable to thine own,
but nothing seems worthy;

I know now why Shakespeare could not
compare his love to a summer’s day.
It would be a crime to denounce the beauty
of such a creature as thee,
to simply cast away the precision
God had placed in forging you.

Each facet of your being
whether it physical or spiritual
is an ensnarement
from which there is no release.
But I do not wish release.
I wish to stay entrapped forever.
With you for all eternity.
Our hearts, always as one.

- Anthony Kolos -

Paris...

" The only city that you'll fall in love will be Paris. I've been other cities in the world but there's nothing worth remembering in other cities...But In Paris, Oh!  the culture, the people, the architecture....all of it is so beautiful! You can just sit by the sidewalk cafe and soak up the wonderful environment...Son, Im sure u'll love it there! " - My Dad said to me -

The Questions ~

Saw your blog today ...Who did it? What happened? Why? How did it happened? When did it happened? I hate the feeling that Im left out in the dark...I hope it's not me...If it is, Im very sorry...

Boredom

Haizz, nobody online today....So, to cure my boredom, I decided to search for something random to Google ~ Then, i noticed the google title changed...it was a pirate map, i think...That gave me an idea! Why don't I look for previous special edition google titles? XD (yes, i was really that bored...) Anyway, i found the website. It's http://www.google.com/logos/ ~ It's quite interesting. I found quite a few google logos that I liked ~ Check it out! :D

I wanted to post them here but u need to ask permission from Google to do it...so, to avoid the painful lawsuits and all...just check them out at the website ~ Jasmine, Im sure u'll like the German one. Look at German Reunification 08 on Nov or Dec 08 ;)

Patriotism XD

My dad told me a story...

Back in his university days, he was studying in Chicago, US. A day in the summer break, he decided to take a walk around the city. He was walking on the curb, when he noticed there's a BIG truck behind him. He started to walk faster but well, u know...he can't outrun the truck. Well, the truck stopped beside him and at the driver's seat, there's this american guy looking at him. He was HUGE and looked like those gangsters,with the tatoos and all.
My dad thought, "Oh, Im gonna be beaten up and robbed".
" Hey, you! Are you American or Asian? " the guy asked my dad.
" Great, a racist attack..." , thought my dad. "Im Asian", my dad said.

What the guy said next really surprised him ~

"NO! You're not ASIAN! You're an AMERICAN!" said the big dude in a patriotic tone with his hand raised up in the air like Tunku Abdul Rahman anouncing Merdeka. (lol)
My dad thought, " He must have thought Im American". So, he said, " Yeah, Im American! " and tried to sound patriotic about it. Of course he must lie la coz  he doesn't want to be beaten up by this guy...

Then, my dad told me about Americans are very patriotic to their country. They swear by their flag, not to their president. That's what makes USA one of the best nations in the world! They PATRIOTIC and love their country very much unlike the people in Malaysia...Here, everyone is like "I support Anwar!" "I support Najib!" Nobody cares about the country, only the party ruling it. No wonder la Malaysia cannot "maju". People of Malaysia! Please be more patriotic to your country! It'll make your nation to be one of the most PROSPEROUS in the world! Don't fight with each other about racism and political parties! Work together to "majukan" your country!

My dad told me this story for me to be more patriotic. He said, " I hope you love your country more now and  help it to "maju"!"
 Well, it worked! I love my country more than ever now! But little did my dad did my dad know...my country isn't Malaysia....

IT'S FRANCE!!! XDDDD

  VIVA LA FRANCE!!! XD

My Favorite Song Ever ~

L'email A Des Ailes by Alizee

Sorry, this was the best video that I could find...No music video or lyrics video ~ I suggest scrolling down and read my other posts while listening to this song ~

Lyrics :

Tout... est ecrit
Mais ma vie est l'unique
C'est sous... l'encre qui
Entre en vie... que je m'esquisse.

L'au... teur, un coeur
Entre ses doigts d'artiste
C'est lui qui effleure
Le mien... qui bat pour lui dire

Lui dire:
Si l'amour
Est confidentiel
Reviens a l'amour
L'e-mail a des ailes
Des mots qu'on s'envoie
Memos et des mails
C'est aux bouts de ses doigts
Que s'envolent
Mes mots qui s'emmelent

Tout... est ecrit
Mais son clavier me tisse
Des choses closes...
Des emois qui sont a moi...

Rouge, deux trois touches
Et c'est le fruit qui s'exquise
Son souffle qui m'entrouve
Qui deboutonna ma vie 

I know I posted this before...but I just can't get this song out of my head! Coz it's my most favourite song of all time! :D Check it out, people! I bet once u listen to it, u'll like it too ~ =)

The Crossroads ~

Haizz, why is everyone transferring schools or migrating to another country?? Jasmine is considering going to transfer to another school if she gets good results, Zarif's gonna go to MRSM, Alicia too but im not sure where...Why must u all go?? (T_T) ~ Then, my primary school classmate is going to London (lucky girl...(-_-) ), Joshua Lee to USA, that ketua pengawas sesi petang, Lai Yoon Theme to Australia...although, i don't really care about these people migrating, i feel jealous coz i can't migrate to France...:(

Haizz, I feel like I wanna transfer too coz...

1) Too much sadness if I stay at SMKTC coz i'll keep remembering all our wondering memories together and I'll miss them more...:'(....I must start a new life to forget them...

2) And for some odd reason, I feel insulted that people whom i beat in exams can go somewhere better than me...it's like i know i should've deserve better than them...sorry, if i offended anyone but this is the truth...

And then, there's the pros and cons of transferring :

Pros

1) I can start a new life in a new school with new friends and hopefully, i won't spend my nights crying about my old friends ~

2) If I go to MRSM, the chances of me getting a scholarship is higher (as if being "bumiputra" isn't enough) ><

3) I'll be more hardworking and more disciplined coz I'll be in a boarding school

4) I'll get 1st in class! XD coz they're all...well, u know....

5) Getting 1st = more pocket money and more presents from parents! :D
6) According to my mom, I'll be "less racist"...wtf...

Cons

1) Since I'll miss u guys so much, I won't be able to start anew...

2) I won't be able to fit in and i won't have a lot of friends, and probably be bullied coz of my size...==

3)I'll be a nerd...studying so much...@_@

4) I'll lose all my bros, sis and friends in SMKTC! (T_T) And i really don't want this to happen! :(

5) Don't really like that school coz the students there are all...m*l*ays (avoiding ISA XD)...and the school is near the graveyard...MY GRANDPARENTS' GRAVEYARD! imagine my grandpa coming to me and say,

"HARIS! WHY DID U FAIL YOUR BM?! IM GONNA HAUNT U FOREVER!!!! 

( LOL! and (-_-lll) )...

6) I'll be one of them, m*l**s!!! NO!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, I really can't decide whether to transfer or not...Im at the crossroads now, not sure which path to take and time is running out! My parents says if i wanna transfer, i must tell now coz of the arrangements and all....But whichever path I choose...let me tell u this : 

I Promise I'll Go To France Someday!!

ANGER!!!!

Arghhh!!! Those two bitches just ruined my day! It all started when they "borrowed" my badminton rackets. I told them to give them back by 12.45 pm and they said, "yes". Little did I know...they were freaking LIARS! Fast forward>> The bell rang at 1pm and they still didn't give them back...i was worried. My bro teman-ed me to go and find them. We went to the hall, the library but to no avail...Those salopes were nowhere to be seen, I was thinking " Im gonna miss my van"...After 5 mins, we saw one of them at the libary. Quickly, we confronted her and asked for my rackets, she said "Can i give u tmr? " ~ I said, "WTF?!?!" I WANT IT NOW! ~ Then, she went to the hall to look for it...stupid idiot, why did u put it there?! don't u know there are such things as thieves?! Anyway, down the hall we went and on the way, Zarif told us that one of them was in the canteen and i told to take care of it. In the hall, we saw her meeting up with the other salope...they talking so long as if they were telling grandmother stories...In the end, they said that another idiot named Roxy snatched it from them...DO I LOOK LIKE I CARE?! U ASKED FROM ME, U SHOULD BRING IT BACK, DAMN IT!
Then, they went away leaving us as if they don't give a damn about it...WTF! In the end, Keshav was conforting me and we went to the canteen to retrieve my other racket...i told my gang about it, then my bro had to go. So, i said, "Guys, i need to go too" and started to walk away...then, stupid Zarif said, "Go la, we don't care about u!" Oh, that made me freakin angry!
As I expected, when i go out, Uncle's van wasn't there anymore...so, i started to walked back home...saw Zi Yin in her van near that asshole's house....anyway, half way there, it started to rain..."this just gets better and better", i thought....in the end, i was basah kuyup when i arrived at my granma's house...had to shower to avoid fever...haizz, really regretted borrowing them my rackets...

If I had it my way, I would drag them to hell and do this:
1) Torture them by having them electrocuted and having snakes coming out of their stomachs like that movie "Aliens". Then, the snakes will bite them and they will feel pain whenever their poison flows in their veins.  This will be repeated over and over again...
2) After a thousand years or so, they will transported to a place where instead hell, of the hottest place ever known, they'll be in the coldest place ever known. Can't have them getting used to the heat, right? ;) but the electrocution and the snake thing will still continue ~ After another thousand years, they'll be transported to hell again and after that, the cold place again .... this will continue on and on....until the end of time...Yeah!

STUPID SALOPES! U JUST RUINED MY DAY! U LOST MY FREAKIN RACKET AND U DON'T SEEM TO CARE! AND AFTER THAT COZ OF U TWO, I HAD TO WALK BACK HOME IN THE RAIN! OH NOW, I'LL PRAY EVERY DAY ALRIGHT! I'LL PRAY THAT U'LL HAVE A MISERABLE LIVE, HATED BY EVERY LIVING THING ON EARTH, AND THAT U WILL ROT IN HELL!!! NIQUE TA MERE POUR GIVING BIRTH TO U SALOPES! DAMN U, TIFFANY YONG AND KUNG SING YEANG!! PUTAIN TOI!!!!!

To Autumn ~

Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness,  Close bosom-friend of the maturing sun,

Conspiring with him how to load and bless,

With fruit the vines that round the thatch-eaves run;

To bend with apples the moss'd cottage-trees,

And fill all fruit with ripeness to the core;

To swell the gourd, and plump the hazel shells With a sweet kernel; to set budding more,

And still more, later flowers for the bees,

Until they think warm days will never cease,

For Summer has o'er-brimm'd their clammy cells.

Who hath not seen thee oft amid thy store?

Sometimes whoever seeks abroad may find

Thee sitting careless on a granary floor,

Thy hair soft-lifted by the winnowing wind;

Or on a half-reap'd furrow sound asleep,

Drows'd with the fume of poppies, while thy hook

Spares the next swath and all its twined flowers:

And sometimes like a gleaner thou dost keep

Steady thy laden head across a brook;

Or by a cider-press, with patient look,

Thou watchest the last oozings hours by hours.

Where are the songs of Spring? Ay, where are they?

Think not of them, thou hast thy music too,-

While barred clouds bloom the soft-dying day,

And touch the stubble-plains with rosy hue;

Then in a wailful choir the small gnats mourn

Among the river sallows, borne aloft

Or sinking as the light wind lives or dies;

And full-grown lambs loud bleat from hilly bourn;

Hedge-crickets sing; and now with treble soft

The red-breast whistles from a garden-croft;

And gathering swallows twitter in the skies. For my cherie ~ :)

Hoo-rah! (Spartan War Call)

Im Haris, son of Alexander, child of France, descendant of 6 different races, Roi de Rizhandor, Exarch des sept légions!


I have endured a lot of challenges in my life, won countless victories and vanquished a lot of enemies/ rivals but all these comes to nought coz the most important war in my life is about to begin ~


I WILL ACHIEVE VICTORY IN THIS WAR! AND I WILL DO IT AT ALL COST! I WILL NOT LET ANYONE STOP ME! ANYONE STOPPING ME WILL SUFFER!

Sad again...

Whoa, what's happening???

Yesterday, when i chatted with u...u keep avoiding to talk about yourself...when i asked "how was your day?"...u replied "how's life in malaysia?" and i try to talk about u but every time, u changed the subject...what's the matter? is something wrong?? u know u can talk about it with me...in the end, i had no idea of what to say anymore and the conversation turned to awkward silence....

Today, i saw u online but didn't talk to u after what happened last night...appeared offline, instead went to do research about france....now, i regretted doing that...i should've talked to u...im very sorry, ma cherie...then, i saw your post on your blog...here's what it said,

Leave or Stay?

I got confused
When I try to figure out my next step

I got pretty distracted
When all of you are leaving
And I know it but I can't do anything

I got a lil depressed
When I struggle between leaving and staying

I become very absent-minded
When I don't know what to do anymore

and i thought, "u're gonna transfer??? noooo! don't leave me here, all alone...(T_T)
please, if somehow u can see this, stay...please stay, i beg u...i don't wanna leave u...


haizz, this ruined my day....i can't see the future where im all alone...


now, im wondering....SHOULD I LEAVE SMKTC?? i can't bear to stay there without u,
