pulling myself back tgt :-(

 29 aug 2021 how are y'all

Life has been very mundane and boring a bit right now that I'm kinda excited for the degree streamlining result to gush out from my email box. I also did a few research about undergraduate scholarships and felt a lil dizzy staring at the screen for too long. 


anyway


did you guys know, on the previous 21st aug God had taken world's most precious (if he's not, well at least mine most wonderful) Don Everly. 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 I'm sorry if you guys are confused, let me tell you a secret,


Don Everly was a singer, a very poetic singer, a very handsome young man (literally appears after his poetic potential) are the only thing my heart can see 😭 he was one of the iconic duo throughout the century, The Everly Brothers. They were very popular during the 60s era (but it feels like it's timeless ya know?!) I listened to their songs since I was 8, the song All I Have To Do Is Dream all thanks to my mum for introducing me these gentlemen. Since then, Everly Brothers will always be my no. 1 favourite. 😭 


1. Devoted to you

2. All I have to do is dream

3. I'll do my crying in the rain

4. Take a message to Mary

5. Love hurts

6. Ebony eyes

7. Girls were made to love

8. Let it be me

9. I wonder if I care as much

10. Long time gone


ones I only listen but not really big fan however still fun :> 


10. Bird dog

11. Old fashioned

12. Bye bye love

13. Walk right back


It doesn't really matter about the ranking here but Devoted to You IS ALWAYS AND FOREVER WILL BE MY FAVOURITE 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 how I wish somebody could sing to me like that. These duo's existence is legit a window to another beautiful world of love and affection I never find somewhere else. Their words are simple yet so so so well ...... GAHHH I COULD REACH NO WORD TO DESCRIBE. 😭 


while I am still not fully healed from the passing of my boyfriend from the past at his 80s (84 if I'm not mistaken), I watched a vlog on YouTube and this girl attached the soundtrack of Devoted to You and YEAAAAA I'm broken againnnn. 😭😭😭😭😭 I used to sing some of the songs with my late grandma, sometimes with my mum. and sometimes I'll imagine as if I'm vibing with the bros. Now, the melody is still echoing in my heart, but not as living as it was before if you got what I meant. 😭😭😭 






 "Through the years my love will grow

       Like a river, it will flow


              It can't die because I'm so

                  Devoted to you... "





funny that I already had Don's home address in my notebook, hoping that I would be visiting there in the future and tell of how much I admire him and his little brother, Phil. as well to thank them for being part of the sparks of my poetry work today :) 



         Rest in peace, Phil & Don Everly.

Give it a chance

 31st May 2026, It's supposedly cuti seminggu sebab Rayaji and somewhat bday Agong kot (Agong pls dun b offended kalau salah), tapi I had to balik ke UIA awal sebab gelabah lagi 2 minggu nak final. Hi there, it's me again, Raihana. To be honest I am really having my butt burning right now sebab masa gonna be sangat suntuk for me to finish the damn dissertation, design presentation and ethics. But tonite I think I'm just gonna sketch je kot. EEEE I cannot susun words rite now or even to think about it. But,  Give it a chance, Raihana, how cikgu2 sekolah kau dulu bg kau chance utk kau pidato masa sekolah rendah, then jadi best debater during sekolah menengah, lepast kau lead everything during your university... semua waktu yang kau rasa prime and rindu sangat tu, all started by giving chances to yourself from the first place..  Now, aku tahu you might feel sangat tak fit in taking tis masters. And malaikat jadi saksi how hard the journey for you so far.. Everyday kau pun da...

orientation week

 27 sept 2021; lagi 2 hari nak bday 2 onyet favourite saya HAHAHAHAHA. sekarang dah pukul 2.59 am, and I feel so fresh sbb baru jek bangun, dah tidur dah lepas isyak tadi hehehe.  shall we start the entry-  so I just woke up from my deep sleep, I went ahead open up my phone just like everyone else does hahahaha and read all messages. I don't know why but my what'sapp is always filled with new messages EVERY SINGLE MINUTE. I suddenly remembered my room mate said that " Raihana is a businessman whenever she wakes up, always with her phone replying all questions and hells there. "  😂😂😂😂😂 however that doesn't really matter, but I stopped at Farina's text that she sent me a name list of our groupings for orientation week- Yep, we are currently on orientation for our degree and I've never felt this indifferent and reluctant. despite the event is fully held online, I still force my little mind to work on a plan to escape all these. contrary to when I was in ...
