Go back to where you came from

I must say, it's probably one of the most incredible documentaries I've ever seen. This documentary "Go back to where you came from" is about the subject of asylum seekers and refugees. In this documentary, six Australians live in Malaysia, a Kenyan refugee camp, the slums of Jordan before travelling all the way to Congo and Iraq. As I watched this documentary, many questions triggered in my mind. I always wondered; what if we just accept refugees living in this country? It touched my heart so much that I wanted to help those people to come here and we all know that they just want to have a better life, especially for their children.

Personally, my family is an immigrant and my father fought for his own life just so we can have a better life in Australia. I owe him alot. I can never imagine living in those countries, where you don't get enough say or freedom. Also to mention this, I learnt something new today. Apparently Australia is the 2nd country in the world that has most freedom and the last is Zimbabwe. I wouldn't be able to imagine what it would be like in Zimbabwe right now..

It hurts my heart to see innocent people getting destroyed in Iraq, kids sleeping on the floor without no shelter at all or nothing. Can you imagine living in a place where you don't know what's going on in the macro world?

If I was in their situation I would probably travel on a boat to Australia right now, even though I know it's illegal. But I would do anything for my own children, just so they can get a better life than me. I wouldn't want them to suffer at all.

Sometimes we may forget to feel fortunate about living in Australia and I realise that I am so lucky to live here. I have the opportunity to go to school and complete the hsc where I can also hopefully go to university next year. Sleep on my mattress bed, eat junk food and etc. I can never ask more, because I'm so thankful to Allah.

Last school photos everrrr!

My lil sister & bestfriend hehe :)


Almost 12 years baby!!


I will miss you girlies!

Ximena Navarrete

This is Ximena at the Cannes Film Festival 2011 and her dress is designed by Gucci! She looks absolutely amazing!! I wish I was tall enough to wear these dresses haha!


Ahh she is the most stunning Miss Universe ever! I love it when she wears the colour red!

I realized that sometimes I don't know where I stand? I'm so lost! And I'm trying to finish my first chapter of the PIP, and the internet is so bloody slow! But so far the PIP is going good! Tomorrow I don't have school because there's this School Captains leadership program at the NSW Parliament House and that will be interesting lol. I hope I bump into some old friends from state cause that would be such a reunion! I really do miss state 09, it was one of the best moments and experiences of my life. It was such a privilege to represent the whole of Sydney region and what makes me even more proud is my beautiful girl Nisa. Not only she was a representative of Sydney region in 2010, but now she has taken the title of State Conference Action Team (SCAT) and which means she is one of the leaders of 2011. And it makes me so happy and proud of her because overall she's been doing such a great job!

I remember last term I was going through such a harsh time at school because of the work load and at some point I felt like dropping out. But this term I'm no where thinking of that because I'm pretty chilled and more relaxed, as in I am more determined to do well and there are some subjects that I would like to do better. English so far is my only subject that I've been ranking well, 7/52. And talking about English, I'm enjoying every classes that we have! At the moment we're doing poetry and I must say I really do love it! I thought it would be borring, but it's more than that. We're studying the poems of Wilfred Owen and it goes back to WW1 1914-1918. I guess you can say I'm becoming more passionate with his poems because it has such an overall meaning of real war, it shows the real tensions of the young soldiers and what they were actually going through at that time. English wouldn't be better without my teacher, she makes our lessons alive and she definately is an incredible woman. So thank you Mrs Newtown! I recommend people to actually read through "Dulce et decorum est" it's absolutely extraordinary!

Oh wow I have not blogged for about 2 months?! But anyways, my life has been so borring but school is the only thing that's keeping me busy so Alhamdulillah for that! I full deactivated my Fb before I started school this term and honestly I don't even miss it at all, but the thing that sucks the most I wouldn't know who's birthday is coming up and all, it just makes me feel bad lol! But the negative thing is that I've been watching way too much TV!! Hahahaa I love it! I'm becoming like my lil sister lol! I feel like I'm not studying as much, more like chillin and I should be studying!! And I cannot wait to watch The Amazing Race (Australia) tmrw!! Anna and I decided to go on that race when we're abit older Inshallah hehe :)

I only have 4 months till I graduate school and it is exciting but emotional at the same time, I'm always wondering where will I be during this time of next year? I just hope to stay in good touch with all my good friends and you know who you's are :) I also lost contact with a few good friends and things may not be like back in the days, but I guess everyone is busy with their lives.

Ever since I deactivated my Fb, it's also interesting to see who would stay in touch with me instead of relying on stupid social networking sites. Who knows I may never go back to Fb, I like it this way.

But guess what?! The love of my life (Enrique Iglesias) is coming to Australiaaaa!! Featuring Pitbill!!!! Now that's a bonus!!!! Hhahaaha, I've been waiting for him to come here for a concert and my dream came true! I cannot wait till I book my tickets and I can partaaay! Hhahaaha But I have that PIP due 2 days after lol :( And about that PIP, I guess it's going well. I'm at that stage of collecting all my primary and secondary information so I can actually start writing everything. But I've managed to finish my intro and I'm almost done with my first chapter :) When you think about it and break them into parts it's actually not that bad! But the thing that pisses me off the most is when everytime I wake up each morning I can hear this going through my mind "Claudia you need to do your PIP, PIP!!" Even the word PIP sounds annoying now haha and Anna hates it too! I'm just soo glad that I changed my whole topic like after 5 months doing this, but it was worth it :)

Anyways I got bored tonight, so I just remembered about my blog. Hopefully I can keep blogging soon :)

Alhamdulillah!

I finally got to finish reading the Qur'an and I am so proud of myself since it was one of my goals to accomplish for 2011! Yayyy how exciting :) :)

Sickkkkk!

For the past 3 weeks I've been sick :( It starts from a bad cough, sore throat and finally a cold! But those 3 weeks is something I can always cherish as one of my teenage memories..

Me being sick it feels like I'm a little girl because my parents have been taking great care of me and I feel like the luckiest girl in the world!

I just wanted to express how much I love for them. I love you Mummy and Daddy <3
