I don't know, just clueless.
Got test tommorow, and this is normal, I've not studied.
Yay...

I like being with mus and abu.
Put us together and anything can happen.
Its fun and I acknowledged that sometimes things do get overboard.
I trully understands what Farhan felt in teh bus yesterday...
Tau, kadang² jadi merepek... I felt a tinge of it too.

I like being funny tho' and it sure only comes when you're with the right people.
I don't deny that even when being alone at school I could just disturb anyone who cross my path.

Like calling out to someone and when they turn to you, just pretend nothing happens.
And there's this thing you'll laugh at, picture you'll walking normally with your friends and then there's one or two people behind. You take a glance behind at them, then give a panicky second glance, after which you run away while still giving panic glances towards them.
I'll burst into laughter after that...

But being with mus and abu, they'll join you and laugh at your antics.
Sometimes I'll just drop one liners unconsiously and this people will laugh.
Like the penawar rindu song...
Hah.

I'm funny?
I don't know, I guess I'm just crazy...

I guess categories do exist eh...

But I tell you, Hatta is one crazy jig.
You gotta go to school with me to find out.

Abu... bole jadi brother, kita dah macam adik beradik tau.
Nyah nyah nyah!

I hate my Sundays last time and I still hate them now.
Though its slightly better now...
Slightly je.

I'm getting lazy at this...
Prolly the lapse in not getting online have stop me from posting more.
I have loads of picture that I wish to share but somehow the lazy bone just held me back.
The Computer's running on broadband now, so erythings good.
I'll try ok.

Its been sometime since I meet the BS people, its fine tho'.
I like the way things are going tho' I wish I could be more productive, try to listen to lectures and do my tutorials.
Test and exams starting next week, 7 papers altogether and spread across a duration of 2 weeks.
After which I'll start my attachment.
To top up everthing, I barely understands all the modules, God!
And erm... elective final test tomorrow and I don't know a shit.

We got a site visit just now, a trip to the developing ACS(I) which is just a short walk from the back gate.
Thier school which is aready big are extending plus the rennovation of thier existing blocks.
Holy shit, it just makes me want to be a student there, its just much more better than our sp campus.
You'll be amazed I tell you, and its not even fully finish yet!

We reach back at school around noon, and from the time you could tell us that we were starving due to the tour around the site.
Being Wednesday, our timetable ends at 12 so there were always tendencies to eat out.
Its been around a month or so, we were eating out every Wednesday...

I used to spent time with Timothy, Asri and thier friends last time before eventually playing soccer at Serangoon area near St Gabriel.
Its just I wanted to be around I guess.
Quite foolish...heh.
But now being around with the guys from my class was much better and it was only natural.
Its only the 3 of us plus the occasional Fazela being around- as she's the only malay girl left in class- not to deny the fact that all of us are malays, hence the natural combo.

After much indecisive thoughts on where to eat couple with the grinding temple due to the hot weather, we ended up in Arab street, initially wanting to eat at a sarbat stall where they serve nice nasi sambal goreng as said by Hatta.
But upon reaching we realise that it would't satisfy our tummy, the lunch was pre-packed.
So we headed to New Hawa, which is around the junction.
A notice at the shutters deny us from eating there.
It read: We have move to a new location at Selegie.
So we ponder around aimlessly with our tummy unfilled.
At a junction we came across a big sign of Sabar Menanti, which is quite popular with the malay makcik/pakcik community for its Nasi Padang.
We headed straight there, settle ourselves, get our food and eat.
Not until we nearly finish that we realise we were at the wrong restaurant!
The one we were eating at were Selero Bundo.
Both were selling Padang dishes, they were side by side!

But its all good, we arrive just in time to get thier set lunch priced at $3.80(Rice, 1 main dish, 2 side dish plus a dessert).
I get myself the set lunch and add up a gulai sotong and a cup of bandung.
Jeng, jeng, jeng... the gulai sotong cost me $3!
Anyway its ok, the food's good but still I believe it could be much cheaper...
For the sotong lah at least.

Looking forward to more food outings.

A friend just confided in something with me.
I just like it whenever someone's open up and share.
Especially when you're starting to be close.
It makes me feel that they believe in us and we're trully regarded as a friend.
Not only as the object of hi's and bye's.
He'll tell me more later.

At the meantime,
I'm just telling that,
I'll be attending the Franz Ferdinand's one night only gig here.
I'm just telling...

*here's a long one!

Eid inhumane

2006-01-11T12:22:00.000+08:00

Yeah i know.
There's no more connection at home.
And blogging?
What shit...

So it was eid'adha yesterday.
And I got the chance to record a footage of the slaughtering of lambs at a local mosque.
I showed some of my non-muslim classmates and most of them were appaled by the somewhat 'inhumane' sacrificise they witness from the footage.
I don't understand why.

So how do you actually eat your meat people.
Kill em'
How do you do that?
Slaughter right.
I bet thats the first ever footage you've ever seen.
Ewwww, eee.. What shit?

Intentions

2005-12-21T16:56:00.000+08:00

I've just terminate the 56k pacnet internet account.
My father gave me "Two Fifty" to terminate and pay up the outstanding balance.
But the billed was settled through Giro,
and...
the $250 is still with me...

He said he's getting a broadband connection for home.
So we'll see...

E-learning's totally a waste of resources!

Bola-Skola-Raya

2005-11-17T18:30:00.000+08:00

Selamat Hari Raya.
Raya mood is still alive right people.
I still do get my raya packets!
But not as much...
Hah.

Played soccer with Tim and his friends yesterday after quite sometime.
It was ok.
I think I'll just stick playing soccer with my friends.
The problem is when you're not enjoying playing... better off don't play.
I felt a little wretch, playing yesterday.
Its not them, they're good, and I would love for my team to play against them on field- which obviously haven't happen yet though we talk about it last time.
Let me put it this way;
Firstly its a school night.
Secondly its at Serangoon, which meant I had to travel quite a distance to reach home.
And lastly, which executed the feeling of wretchness is that there's no communication.
There's hostility, in fact I felt out of place.
Being the only malay after Asri's departure didn't help either.
No, they're not unfriendly, they're accomodating.
Just that there's this certain aura and I can't explain it...

Fuck you Tim... You're good!
Damn it.
Please stop, just stop!

------------------------------------
Totally Booked tommorow.
6.30 pm, Geylang east library.
Nearest MRT, Aljunied station.

*Raya pics will be up soon.
Hope so...
Haha.

Fronting Harbour Front.

2005-10-26T22:59:00.000+08:00

I had a nice time spending two days at Harbour Front's Spinelli after one of thier part time staff,(mixed-parentage & pretty according to a friend who went to the HR office on the same day with her. heh!) went M.I.A.
The place have changed alot, fronting a new mall, office buildings and a great new harbour.
Back then it was named World Trade Center.
I can still remember vividly when my dad use to bring us there, usually for an expo or exhibitions.
The place is dead I tell you back then.

So It was my first day at the new Harbour Front yesterday.
I was so amazed by the change yesterday morning on the way to work.
I was so intrigued by the cable cars, never been on them.
Maybe one day I'll set some time and money, and get on them.
One day... one day.

I did some touring of the mall after work just now, well maybe just a pass by.
And on my way from the office towers to the mall on the bridge, I was amazed by the sight of the majestic cruise liner.
Besar siol! nampak depan2 lagi.
She's Superstar Virgo, and she's a virgin..ahaha.

I'll definately will visit Harbour Front area when time comes.
Check out the mall and the harbour.
Macam2 ade!
Penat ah tadi nak jalan2!

Hey hey Ali, Ali mim alep lam sin!

2005-10-25T23:45:00.000+08:00

I had some nice time with two friends last Sunday.
They waited for me to finish work and had iftar together.
Had pizzas, at Pizza Hut.
It did burn a little whole in my pocket.
Hah.

Ok... dah blank pun nak tulis ape!
And get your Raya gear moving people...
Pardon me I've not.

Ali, this template's just fine!
Haha.

Pegi kemas barang kemas kau sudah!

2005-10-23T01:53:00.000+08:00

So its mid Ramadhan, and all the raya song have started.
Raya...raya... macam dah tak kuasa pun ade.
I actually can't be bothered to go to the Bazaar Geylang, especially when it have always been what it had been all time long.
Plus those silly folks who make the bazaar thier newfound hangout every Ramadhan.
Perhaps not so new afterall...
But You'll eventually end up there on one issue or another.

I actually wanted to go there bringing Justin Luke earlier this month, but we didn't met eventually as I can't be bothered waiting for his plans confirmation that I make a whole new plan impromtu.
So he went with his friends but I was already somewhere else.
Had my fair share of horrendous crowd experience when old friends called for a get together iftar at Haig Road.
Damn...luckily we just walked around the Haig Road area, a trip to Geylang serai would meant disaster.

Have more to say, but maybe I just can't be bothered.
Its 2 plus in the morning and I got work at 10 tomorow, got to get to sleep...fast!

The template layout is a bit boring... maybe I'll change it later.
And by the way enjoy your stupid pre-festive spring cleaning people.
Its stupid I tell you, who would wanna go into your room and inspect every shit out of it.
In the first place who would wanna go into your bedroom?
Especially the kids, they're there for the money, no need to keep them long.
Give them thier packets once they reach and throw them out of the house as soon as possible!
Ya'll get me?
Throw them out...

Maybe I'll smile.

2005-10-11T23:33:00.000+08:00

Maybe it wasn't meant for me.
Maybe it wasn't meant to be.
Head ups...

-----------------------------------
The internet really causing some moral instability.
The somehow sealed identity really boldened people up.

I don't understand the conflict in the street art community that's beefing on the internet.
The bites, the fakes...
Who's real ya'll tell me, who's real!
Ya'll haters?
Ya'll originals?
The hell.

-----------------------------------
I've gotten the new Too Phat's album.
It did cost me some quid...

My sympathy to all the people who's affected by the many disasters' in recent times.
God is great.

Just hit F10!

2005-10-10T23:34:00.000+08:00

Dang! Someone at home just don't know how to handle the computer.
It crashed and he acts as if nothing ever happen.
There goes all the data.
God damn...

I've reformat it.
Just press F10.
There goes all those datas'.
Juices!

And yeah, I accidentally deleted all those precious notes in my hp.
Fuck-kit.

What the hell, what the hell.

Somebody get me an Imac and a cable connection please!

Justin... Justin... cakap lah, takmo shy.
Hah.

Sigh.

Member September.

2005-09-30T11:19:00.000+08:00

Semester break in Ramadan.
Which would last a month.
We would've to troop back to Dover even before Ramadan ends...
Who would've thought of this great idea.

I don't know whose idea that is, but it certaintly is jamming the academic brain.
Anyway just wake me up when Ramadan ends...
Hah.

Thanks 1.2 Delta, for them templates & stickers.
Them templates on Hp will be up soon.

Children's Day greets the end of September, so who's gonna wake up?

This is the story that must be told.

2005-09-25T17:22:00.000+08:00

Get me some pasta momma.

So its exam period and everyone seems to write bout them.
I offer no exception.
Had 3 term test and 3 exams to sit for.
Failed two tests and was absent for the first...
R-E-T-E-S-T-S.

Done with 2 exam papers and god knows if I'd ever make it.

Retests and 1 more exam paper next week.
All one after another, Monday till Wednesday.
Juices!

Can somebody tell me what the heck does I.C.A stands for...
Should I put a question mark or an exclamation after the above sentence?

Happy 14th Birthday Irfan.

Welcome to the world Danish Hakim, well its a year now.

To my man KGB, mintak ampun dunia akhirat. :)

The little grey underwear.

2005-09-18T22:56:00.000+08:00

Friday night was as per normal.
Soccer with the lads after sun down.
The construction simply couldn't wait so we've to change venue.
This happens When Petal Garden couldn't take us no more.
So was this court, he simply likes to be taken into surgery...

So we ended up at the street soccer court which sat solitudely besides a canal.
Perhaps we should call em' the great Singapore canal.
Because without them we could be New Orleans, especially during monsoons.
And perhaps because of the canal again, them courts sit so solitude here.
No one simply likes to play there...
Why?
Ask them canals'!

A few games through, pop 12 year ol' Afiq.
I knew him, they knew him... we knew him.
Simply because he was there the last time we were there- and the last time after last time after last time after last time.
But that night he was hyper.
He sat us through even after them floodlights decide to sleep.
He cracked jokes, we laugh.
We ask him to tease others, we laugh.
Even at the slightest, we laugh.

Asked to go home as it was late, he simply dismissed it.
Mama's ok with it he says.
So time pass, and he became bolder, teasing bit by bits.
Then came the infamous idea of stripping him.
Some people idea add up with nul's enthusiasm, it was surely gonna happen.

But it didn't happen.
Well, so it nearly does...
But thank god it didn't.

He ran home, clearly upset.
Kesian Afiq...
Korang ni pun.
__________________________________________

3 more papers, Tuesday, Friday & the Tuesday after next.
Still to revise yet.
I am certaintly gonna fail last Friday's paper.
God forbid.

By the way I'm still working.
Nyahah.

Thee punye pasal lah.

2005-09-14T15:40:00.000+08:00

Term test this week and 3 more exam papers which span for another 1 week plus.
The semester's too fast.
I'm certaintly aint ready.
I didn't feel if i've learnt much or maybe at all this semester.
But I did know some stuff lah.
Didn't went for the first test paper on monday, head down to the polyclinic for an M.C. instead.
heh.

Yeah, one should be true, if they said I'm busy lately...
Well practically.
I tried to squeeze in as much into my time.
The job, the classes and the going out.
Yup, I still have time to go out but I certaintly feel time's not on my side.
I guess basically its her, the part-time job.
She's kinda draining me...
Don't get me wrong, I love job, well 'like' goes better here...
Yeah so...I like job but the notion of having to meet job after school out of obligation seems rotten.
And I guess the studying part gets neglected all this while.
Erm..I think you can take the 'guess' word out here... too much guessing lah.

Keje oh keje
Kenape engkau ade
Mcm mane aku tak ade
Engkau nak carik duit
Engkau nak carik duit.

Why you students work,
why I work...
Its damn true, answers are out, we kids wants extra cash to buy stuff, yeah we 'kids', you get it right there.
Yup I want to get new clothes, new things, well basically 'wants'.
I don't know for thee, but me mum don't give me money to get new things.
So yes, me have to work...
Fuck, what's up with the 'me' going on?
Ok back to the the topic,
Do you think I justified?
Should I work, cause I think it'll be better if I don't have too.
But I want money, cash, bucks, banknotes... big television, washing machines, cars, compact disc players, electrical tin openers, good health, low cholesterol, dental insurance, osim massage chairs and fixed-income mortgage repayments.
Gasak kau lah!

There's a saying within Hatta's wise words that says, when you started to fret work, then quit.
Yeah the ultimatum, Q-U-I-T, no negotiations.
So I fret work, should I quit Demi-god Superior?
But I want money, cash, bucks, banknotes... big television, washing machines, cars, compact disc players, electrical tin openers, good health, low cholesterol, dental insurance, osim massage chairs and fixed-income mortgage repayments.
Gasak kau no. 2 lah

So I know of some mates who easily buy stuffs but they need not work...
There's the basis of buy every month, get them receipts and hand it to the ol' man for claims.
There's also the Timothy's "oh I've no money to go out, but hey I like that shirt".
So he'll be wearing the shirt he likes the next day.
Then the Asri's "mak, I don't think I'm going to Australia for the attachment so now I wanna buy stuffs, can I use the money".
And the mak says ok and ask him to take $200 from the bank account.
Can we trade places?
But I think we ought to trade spaces.

The transfer windows close tomorow 12am.

Should I work?
But I want money, cash, bucks, banknotes... big television, washing machines, cars, compact disc players, electrical tin openers, good health, low cholesterol, dental insurance, osim massage chairs and fixed-income mortgage repayments.

They're holding onto my $100 bill for 6 months.
That'll be 4 months from now...
Ahahaha.

Please do not sit on the railings.

2005-08-20T13:48:00.000+08:00

Trackback idiot

2005-06-12T14:37:00.000+08:00

School's lethargic.
The travel distance to Dover didn't help either.
Its always been a rush hour in the morning; which had me track-back often, just so that I wouldn't forget anything.
It contributes towards uneasiness...
Juices!

What's the hassle going on at home...
I quite hate the mums' mood pretensions.
How it could develop towards the childs' retaliation.
Teenage angst, rebelliousness, all that teenage pretexts?
The hell?

I've made some friends this past days.
Much attributed to the internet.
Hah.
It kinda feel funny to have to talk to someone but never met them.
Especially when your constant chats and conversation kinda make you feel attached.
One that you will willingly called a friend.
That's why I'd make it a point to at least meet up or something.
Yeah we'll meet soon...
Ahah!

I'm workin today, do drop by people.
From 5 onwards, you know where...

Kadang-kadang blog-blog ni seme banyak jugak cerite sedih eh.
Haha,
Kelakar jugak bace.
Especially when org yg blog tu tak lah se-emo gitu kat luar.
Hah!
Tapi aktcherli kan, seme org ade jugak emo attributes tersendiri dorang.
Cume tak tunjuk je kat luar.
Ni lah kat blog, dorang jadi emo semomo-momo nye.
Ahaha!

Pencil and Lecture notes.

2005-06-06T23:54:00.000+08:00

Pencil and Lecture notes.

I've wanted to post some of this pictures the last time.
Taken during the first few days of school.
Time to get ready for straight hours of lectures...

Things been turning up a few notches and transcending some nautical knots down.
It'll ride its way on...

I started my first day at Spinelli Peninsula branch today.
Its been great.
A little more breezier I supposed.
Knock off the working blues people...

Paper kat tepi tu...

Biar tidur yang hujung tu...

Semesteral Venture

2005-05-31T22:17:00.000+08:00

OK school have started.
And once again I've to battle early days with office crowds in the bus and MRT.

Last weekend was great.
Met Rashid and walk him around town, he likes it that I show him places.
Fancy his innocence and purity, not like them young punks who would have do stuff they shouldn't do.
Anyway we met ARTVSTS who was doing thier live painting for street fest.
Rashid's amazed by them...hah.

The Sunday event at Hougang went well.
Nice one BS.
I was there but helping out no more.
Guess that'll be it then.

Biar buat bodoh!
Merajuk ke ape ke aku tak paham...
I was being nice but you were rude straight up.
Thanks for the snub.

Biar delete banner atas tu...

Nadra and Andz were particularly nice.
Thanks.

I'll play your game Ms Jean Yong.
Don't ever judge people like that.

Petal garden?

2005-05-27T23:42:00.000+08:00

Ok, we got kick out from Petal Garden just now.
The town councilors were there with a lone police men- just so there was at least, some form of enforcement- who totally pissed me off.
How dreadful...

Names were taken.
Retaliation were exchanged.
How youthful...

Town Councilors: 1 , Recreational Soccer boys with great passion: 0
Final whistle.
They won.

No more us in the open area anymore.
Ya'll can do your Taiji meditation blissfully.
And line dance till you can actually dance.

So much for Singapore soccer.
Don't you know that the likes Ronaldinho and Thierry Henry actually play thier game in the streets when they were young?
All that Nike ads...

Singapore a football loving nation?
They hated us...
What a mockery!

Space is still a problem.
All those street soccer courts just don't satisfy.
CASE CLOSE!

Hai... bola... bola!

I'll be bringing Rashid around town tomorrow.
Probably will meet them ARTVSTS.
Might be taking a video footage for them...
We'll see how it goes.

Happy Birthday Justin Luke.

Is it.

2005-05-24T17:43:00.000+08:00

It's all about you isn't it?
At least you said so...
How much you contributed to my life,
how much friends I make through you,
how you gave me extra income opportunities,
how much I learnt bout' events management...

Yes, you introduced alot to me, you contributed alot.
I learnt alot, can't deny that.
But I'm not selfish...
In many ways I've contributed too.
In many ways...

I didn't expect much from you.
Still will be a friend regardless...

Its ok that you scrap me of your initial plans for this Sunday event.
Even tho' you said I'm in a week back.
How fast...
Yeah it's your event, you called the shots...
Its ok...

I noticed my link is not there.
Its not about if the link is there or not.
You tried hard enough not to be even associated with don't you...
Your link is still up there.
You're still someone I know, a friend.

We should talk...
Don't try hard to avoid.
I'm still here friend.

Lutfi have offered me to do a pictorial coverage on ARTVSTS live painting this Saturday.
Hope it goes as it is...
I'm quite excited.
Will update bout it.

I still believe I'm a friend, we should talk.
Ni tak emo eh!

2005-05-22T17:41:00.000+08:00

Ok I've started work, last Thursday.
I'm having my on job training now at Far East Square under Su, at which later I'll be attached to the branch at Peninsular Hotel.
Its alright, would have to memorise those drinks concotion recipe...
I just don't feel of working but I want those cash!

Those lunch time office working crowds...
Damn!

So Tim's also have started working at Andersons' Ice Cream.
I think it should be easier right, just scooping ice cream...
Tho' Tim said its damn boring.
But boring is better than being busy right!

I quite don't understands what happen just now...
There's no need to ask for permission eh?
You wanted them so the plan could proceed.
But the plan involves all the people I know too.
Isn't it courtesy to ask me down too especially when you need my stuff.
I know if I come, there's already no need for you to borrow them from me, cause I'll be using them.
So much for my night Sunday classes...
But what happen last week, its Saturday.
Nice reason!

Happy cycling people...
Steady ah!

Ni bukan perah minyak lah...
Just stating courtesy.

Ok, I think I'm not getting any events job anymore...
Its ok, you call the shots.
Thanks for all those opportunities, really appreciate it.
I'm still here friend...

I live my life on the bright side,
Trying to keep calm.

Ni tak emo eh!
Hah...

Johor, Johore, Johor Bahru?

2005-05-19T21:41:00.000+08:00

Went to Johor with the 'petal' bunch yesterday.
Bought some stuffs and I got my self the much self-awaited Gerhana Ska Cinta album which is precisely unavailable here.

Ah Johor, KL pun sama, traffic light langgar je...
Bilang Umnno kalau nak save goods' tax dorang yg 5% tu, traffic light seme cabut, save bil api air dorang...

The taxi there is also well known for its notorious customer and fare touting antics.
They'd refuse to charge according to the fare meter.
And if they do... do prepare for some surprises.
Since when do the Malaysian goverment approved a taxi fare hike?
They even come prepared with a black & white document (which even emboses the appropriate authorities emblem)-which looks surreally fake...hah.
What a good made-up scam and document...

Gerek ah korang, cerite anak metropolitan tak pernah miss eh...

The bus to JB.
Ah, Hari Raya je bus terminal ni buka.

Saper nye idea ni makan Kenny Rogers?

Best? Ayam die ok², harga die... walauwe!

Ah check baju! biar tepi tangga pun ok.

Biar jual barang reject tapi kedai besar dan ada banyak cawangan, tetap maju!

'Kalau RM 100 then, bayar SGD$ 50 ah,kite accept duit Singapore...'
kepala otak, nak ketuk orang je.
Aku tukar money changer rate die RM 228 - SGD$ 100 ok! shopping ni kene pandai beb.

This is what happen when the conversion rate is more than double! hah.

At coffee bean, one drink cost around RM10, kaya jugak orang Johor eh.

Bye, nak balik...

Parting shot; Jumpe lagi Johor...

Lastly I'd like to give a quote that would be look upon in years to come, watch this space...

"Kalau nak tengok Johor indah, lawa... ah sepuluh tahun."

-by a Johor cabbie who claims he miss not
even an episode of the Anak Metro drama
and manage to sucessfully con a group of
us of taxi fare.

Goverment korang naik kan taxi fare pe...
Tau-tau pun buat tak tau je, negeri orang... ye kan sudahlah.
Hah...

Expect Suspect.

2005-05-17T23:47:00.000+08:00

Maybe I expect much from him,
and someone have expectations on me; on what I expect of the latter...

I didn't go anywhere.
Still here.
As it is.

Your path may be too rigid...

What is reciprocity?

2005-05-16T17:11:00.000+08:00

Spinelli just called, and yeah, its a new HR lah.
That's the answer for the long processing.

I'm still contemplating this job opportunity.
I just want the money, not to work...

Biar pandai, fiz
Jangan pandai-pandai...

Rock Star Collective 5 year anniversary party; 14th May.
Taped flyer at Haji Lane power box.
More info. at rockstarcollective.

I have quite realised that going out with kids is quite a task.
You can't really do your thing.
And it also kinda make you look funny.
Nan made me realised...

It's never an objective to make em' happy and make that particular outing memorable eh.
Dorang yang nak ikut and furthermore it might be because of you that they can actually go out, ah weekday lagi!
So you actually have already done em' a favour.
Responsible besar tu!

I don't quite understands people whom initiate brb on msn but then after a while, just turns offline.
Ah bukan satu orang jer eh, due.
Due-due baru add.
Ah Acute pre-Pubescent Reciprocal Syndrome eh?
Hah... Jgn eksyen eh afiz.

Ah main bola sampai kaki mintak ampun!

2005-05-11T12:27:00.000+08:00

Ah mari menari, kite dapat duit niari!
-Styles From Beyond during Bonzo D' Flava II -

I'm literally broke tho' I have some cash in hand which supposedly couldn't be mine as I've done too much withdrawal from the ATM of which the money are not for my usage, practically...

Be it when I saw something I want but don't have cash or when some plans went berserk when someone who were not supposed to be there turns up.
The ATM would be the refuge after which I would intend to pay back after I'd get my pay check on a certain event project I'm part of.
It was always that way, I'd only withdraw when I know that I would get some cash later on.
So in other words it'd meant use first pay later...

Ah justify, Justin Fly!

But it would be difficult once you get those money and were suppose to pay back.
How I wish...

I'm getting the CDC project pay today after bout' 1 month of process, and it doesn't feels good at all.
There's those overdue hp bills,
those use-first-pay-later item's payment and,
those last minute withdrawal to accomodate pop-out people...

Jangan baik hati sangat nak blanje org, tgk dulu duit tu ade tak...

And lastly I got to teach myself not to make money plans without money in hand...
Yeshua!

Just In Luke

2005-05-08T18:08:00.000+08:00

I added Justin Luke on my Msn out of my current stagnant state of activity.
New people advocate new things...hah.

Nice talkin tho' we get disconnected suddenly, maybe because of your faulty computer.
Talk more soon.

A little area of my lips turn dark magenta after soccer yesterday morning.
This happens when you play soccer with a dude who have flapping wings,
and to add to that, you're unfortunately short...hah.
Anyway, its alright, accidents happens.

Marah ke?
Kalau marah cakap...
Ape cerita ni?

2005-05-05T15:32:00.000+08:00

Ok so I'm back from chalet.
It was nice and fun, fullstop...
Hah.
We played soccer bare-footed and crash into the swimming pool like nobody's business.
Thanks for the blisters, its been sometime...

Living room yg besar feelin ala family get together watchin Tv.

Pizza tingkat.

Ah tu dia Pizza yg berlambak-lambak!

Pool front.

Rebuskan diri dalam jacuzzi.

Tenggek.

Tunggang.

Terbalik.

Barbeku.

Biar asap keliling muke, tetap pose!

That's a pictorial tour on the chalet here's one for the picnic on Monday with former school mates.

Terikkan panas.

Plate shot.

All say 'eeeeeeee'...

Class of 2003, fractioned!

It was a fun early May.
To add to that, I've pass all of my module's this semester.
Year 2 awaits...

For now lets enjoy the holidays,
and spinelli, bile kau nak kol?

I'm still not on your quick dial eh?

2005-05-02T23:30:00.000+08:00

Ah early May promises lots of fun.
Had a picnic just now with fellow mates from ol' sec 4 class.
Well only most of the malay peeps were there...

Ah besok ade chalet 3 hari pat banglo besar Aloha Loyang.
Ah enjoy-enjoy!

2005-04-26T23:04:00.000+08:00

I didn't meant to be pretentious or rebellious.
Didn't even want to.
But it just pictured that way...
To some people.
Or I should just say, SOMEONE.

Its probably my fault, my bad, my loss.
But all I could do is...

2005-04-25T13:56:00.000+08:00

HMV: Monday night, last week.

Damn, I've been left with nothing to do.
When would Spinelli call when they say they would particularly last week.
Yes, I've applied for a part-time job at Spinelli, thanks to Sue for the hook-up.

Soccer match last Saturday was good.
We won, 3-0!
I was gasping for air just 30 minutes into the game.
Need to get those stamina up. Damn...
Anyway, last week have been a soccer fiesta I would say.
Played soccer almost everyday with different bunches. heh...
The last was yesterday, Arul called to ask me to join em'.
I obliged tho' I know for a fact that I still have to attend them night masjid classes, particularly because its been sometimes since all of us meet together and that I've not been joining them for the last 2 recent ball game.
Start early at 4.30pm, tho' most came at around 7.30pm at which I have to pack up and make my way to the mosque, without bathing but wiped dry.

Lethargic even before we started playing, I didnt went into the mosque after that.
Sat outside under those Hdb blocks, making my way in only when the ustaz start to recite the closing verses.
Sucessfully making my parents conclude that i've been inside all along... again.
Its just that I'm tired.
And tired have diverse meanings i tell you! heh!

Kaki aku penat asyik main bola je... tapi masih nak main!

Been getting online everytime I'm home, hoping to see somebody or anybody who would freshen things up on Msn.
But that didn't happen.
What did ya'll do when ya'll are not online this days?
Bejuices...
Takkan takde plan ke ape pun... heran ah...

Happy b'dae nan.

2005-04-21T16:02:00.000+08:00

Hakim dah besar...

Do we even try to understand people,
when we say they don't understand us.

2005-04-19T13:27:00.000+08:00

Things didn't go quite well yesterday...
Anyway I'm over it, really!

I've just discovered today that some ol' friends have blogs and have linked me up but didn't even bother to tell or informed me...
Courtesy people, and I'll drop by or will link you back even.
Anyway its good, thanks for linking!

I've met my nephews a few days back.
Even get the birthday boy to meet his idol.
For now... we'll meet this friday alright.

I'm gonna start playing ball.
There's a match this saturday at Ubi.
Hope I'll get well fully.
Anyway I'm playing today tho' there's still a tinge of breathlessness.
I'm pushing it for soccer...

2005-04-16T23:50:00.000+08:00

The weather's really getting on me.
The ever changing skyline didn't help either.

I'm coughing roughly, but the cold is subsiding.
I hope it gets better and make those stuffy nose go away too.
How'd you get that thing sticking on your throat out?

Anyway, the outdoor screening cum dance competition at the stadium waterfront was ok.
Quite wack actually...heh.
I wouldn't have gone if there's no free tickets eh!
Its $16 ok... jesus!
Aku tak paham apasal orang-orang yang datang seme sanggup bayar and datang even!
Anyways Wan BFC and Mahathir SFB didn't make it through for the dance comp.
Don't ask why...I don't understand how one of the finalist make it through!

I got my nephew an autograph of his idol.
Come to think of it, I'm starting to miss him.
Hah.
Happy 14th Birthday this Friday nephew.
Will get you something... maybe...

Aku sekarang tengah lapar tapi malas nak makan...
Plus kaki aku gatal nak main bola!
Tapi belum baik sakit...camner?

2005-04-14T20:02:00.000+08:00

I'm done with the semestral exam and tests.
Quite a relieve tho' i've known for a fact that I failed one of the tests.
Anyway...

The event last Sunday went well, the first time we got a government based project.
A free event but you still got paid...
yeah!

The set was majestic, tho' the Sound Console people was quite disturbing, cept' for the Hairul guy, maybe because his work involve liasing with me and perhaps decided to practice some discrepancy or maybe he's just being good.

Overall was good cept' for the minor hiccups where the the stage manager had to change some line-ups due to last minute antics.
Maybe we should have an intercom next time Sue.
How bout it Nan?

BFC was entertaining.
Dance kids are nice.
Hanif's good!
The impromtu dance segment went as tho' it was already plan.
Naik gile korang eh!

The whole event was also mention on the news, with some interview snippets produced by Nan.
Lutfi's gerbil even got an unprecedented publicity.

Watch Akhir Kata this April 21 people.
Sure to get your heads up.

For now...
We'll see what happens next.

2005-04-07T14:11:00.000+08:00

The 45 minutes NIE survey, questions much on all the revolving factors around life.
Friends, family, future plans and stuff.
Got quite bothered on the question bout close-friends.

Do we share the same mindset to understands we're close?
One particular friend of mine, one particular bud...

Hmm... so I've been sitting around, literally with no plans!
Jesus.

Taken sometime last month @ esplanade library.

Come this Sunday people, at the field next to whitesands.
A community oriented event organized by the North East CDC with Beats Society.
Starts at 3 with performances by Public eyez, Trivalation and many more.
Bring your family, its Free!

2005-04-04T15:47:00.000+08:00

I'm still living off the infected computer.
Clicking case by case on the on-screen keyboard.
The 56k internet connection didn't help either.

Get it an aspirin please.

School's out till 13th April, on which the only exam paper will take place.
After then its term holiday through.
We'll see the results,
We'll see year 2...

Woke up nearly one today.
It's 4.03 pm now.
What should I do today?

I'm living off living on.
We will get where we want to be...

2005-03-28T15:06:00.000+08:00

When, what or who is the next involvementary...
I wonder.

2005-03-17T21:58:00.000+08:00

PLEASE READ THE TAGBOARD BEFORE PROCEEDING TO READ THE POST BELOW.
Start from the tag from passerby;
passerby: memakai anting anting adalah haram dalam segi islam.
fikirkan lah
Which means, "wearing earings is wrong and absurd in Islamic moral. Think bout it lah"
And by the way, his tags are link to my post dated March 9.

I applaud your senses passerby.

At least there is someone in this world that really cares bout preaching the essence of Islam, even tho' its petty, at least he tried...
His effort of typing in complete full malay sentence is really heart-captivating.

But, I sincerely think that you should link up your contact together with your tag.
Then maybe I can contact you and start embracing and fine-tune my knowledge on Islam.

Wow, I didn't know that Islam prohibits its people from wearing anting-anting nor do I know that muslims can't eat pork...
Daging babi salai siap dengan cap halal JAKIM pat Malaysia sedap siol!
I really think that I need your help.
Your anonymously-contact tag really enlightened me.
I desperately need to embrace god through you, dear passerby.

Please drop me your contact on that same tagboard you preached.
Or maybe you could tell me the church you preach in, or is it a temple?
I would gladly be your young-luscious altar-boy doing what you want me to do across the mimbar, even if it means stripping to my b'day suit.
That would be nice and at the same time I can embrace more on your teaching and hope that you can bring me to the 7th heaven.

I would gladly rope in my friends and neighbour's newborn in.
Then maybe those pro-satirical western activist wouldn't labelled us terorist no more.
Maybe we will be called evangelist.
At least the latter sounds much more nicer.

I hope I can fulfill your childhood ambition of becoming a part-time cleric by being your first student, or what you can call mimbar-altar boy.
Im sure your mummy and daddy would feel that thier effort of sending you to sunday classes which you played truant on did not go down the drain after all.

Now then I've started to understand the verse of;
Tipah, selamat hari jadi, kau sudah kena
Kena tipu lagi, takde sape yang boleh tolong
Melainkan tuan punya body...
from Ruffedge Tipah tertipu.

Are they your students too, passerby?
Damn they're now my fav song, its nasyid to my ears, oooh yeah groovy.

I'm now content to performing my night prayers while the Tipah tertipu song blast on the background.
But before that I'm going to gulp down on a bottle of chivas regal, poured into a cup of 7-11 big-gulp cup to facilitate on my idolisation fetish on the singapore idol, Taufik batisah.

oooh i'm a policemen like taufik and i wear those shades too even if i'm in a darkroom.

And last but not least, thanks passerby for giving me the enlightenment.

Erm can muslim thrust thier middle finger?
It should be ok right, at least if it's thrust to you my evangelist passerby.

Hope to hear from you soon my evangelist passerby.
Do link your contact next time!

And btw, the one wearing the studs is not me eh.
He's too pretty to be me.
He is my pretty buddy boy, Timothy, and he's catholic!

2005-03-09T21:43:00.000+08:00

Sunday was spent at Timmy's place getting started on the O.C. presentation slides which was due the following day.

Thanks for accommodating even tho' you're not even part of it.
I know you re-shuffled your plans so that I could come over.
Appreciate it very much buddy!

The workstation with wires all over.

Acting slumberland.

The vivid evening skyline graced ala fotress.

Self potrait or what.

Feeling his' self side-perspective.

Seriously, the home cpu should go through servicing!

2005-03-01T23:08:00.000+08:00

The desktop keyboard decided to stop functioning over god knows what!
I'm typing with the aid of an on-screen keyboard I discovered accidentally, whilst trying to find way to make the keyboard work.

So for now when I'm typing,I'm literally clicking...
Hell yeah!

2005-02-26T15:40:00.000+08:00

He's been great.
I think he's the reason, tho' we don't really met everyday.
Wednesday the day...
Doin' the buddy thing was fulfilling.
There's reaction.
You know things are going fine when there's response.
Hope things are goin as they're desired.
Then we'll be on a higher level...

I'm broke.
Don't know what they're really doin with the schedule.
The manager as a coursemate's mum, didn't really helps either.
The reason i got this job was that.
So do I have a say?

I'm still living with the notion of distress towards the eye.
I'm just passing it through.
Still using the lenses...

What's up with the eye?
C'mon gimme a break, stop it lah... please!

2005-02-23T22:50:00.000+08:00

Superman also wears a boxer to protect his prized buddy.

How do you people wear your boxers?

I've been contemplating on this conception for quite some time. Hah.
Boxers I believe, should be worn just at it is- as an undergarment.

But I'm sure there are people out there who wear boxers with briefs under em'.
This may be for the fact that
-they are uncomfortable as boxers don't provide much 'grip'
-by wearing only boxers, it could bring uneasiness when you start to sweat
-they want to hide thier briefs
-and lastly which I belive is true, the fact that boys have a common practise of sliping on a garment over thier briefs, e.g. a pair of soccer shorts over thier briefs. So, why not wear boxers as it is quite a more thiner/comfortable material than soccer shorts.

Hmm...
So what you think.
How'd you wear yours?
Hah.

2005-02-19T13:24:00.000+08:00

After reading the enrty from a mutual friend's blog.
I decided to post some excerpts and add up on my own honest comments to it.
Trully I really like what he have to say.

If your race ascended up the social ladder,wouldn't you be proud of them and try to aid in their conquest of hiatus?Or would you drag them back down into the dark nether regions and bury them there?

I really admire my Malay friends for the fact that they display true brotherly and sisterly love towards each other with their shaking and kissing of each other's hands.I have never seen this among Indians.No..Rarely.Almost never.

Read more of Alvin's thoughts here.

I trully belive that that all races have had thier fair share of delinquents problems. But as what SM Goh have said,"This is not a racial problem, but a national issue, we have to go through this together and not just let thier self-help groups tackle the problems."

Surely You would have come across the typical thoughts of that Malay youths are lazy, Chinese youths are opportunist, Indian youths are arrogant and proud youths that would proudly proclaimed that they're Eurasian even if they have only a fair tinge of European blood.

Anyway youths are our future.
They are our tomorows'.
Many youth have excelled beyond thoughts,
even though presently overshadowed with high statistics of teenage pregnancy and young couples getting divorced.
If not academically,
there's sports and arts, much to the fancy of malay youth and thier soccer...

Yeah its true that we, Malay youth have no objections in displaying our brotherly or sisterly love. The fact that we are teach to greet and extend our arms to whoever we meet from young. I myself have extended this practise even to friends of other races, it seems an obligation.

Try observing the malay youths,
The hugs, kisses and cheek to cheek practise of the girls,
and the shaking of hands and frequent mutual hugs of the boys.
This does not only show on malay youth of higher state of mind or recently branded the "new malay".
Even youth that some proclaimed as mats or minahs or street dwellers have thier fair share of brothers or sisters stat quo.

Check out the hand shake of snapping each others thumb before releasing them.

There are criteria of mats and minahs in all of us.
We're Malay and we will always be...
Your proclaimation of street dwellers or mat tappered to this unique youth would only tracends hatred towards each other in the community and degrade them.
C'mon we are one.
We gotta go through this together.

For your information, Alvin is an Indian Catholic.

2005-02-17T22:10:00.000+08:00

There's a re-test for a module for everyone who fail to make the 50% cut.
Its tomorow at 1730-1900 hrs.

Should I or shouldn't I?

What do you expect from a day being Friday.
I'd finish at noon normally every Friday.

"Things starting to pace up.
I'm starting a new "buddy thing" from scratch."

2005-02-11T17:24:00.000+08:00

Went to Sentosa, Palawan beach on wednesday with 20 people; the post O level bunch.
There were locals as well as foreigners, much were foreign workers.
Its been some time since I went for a swim.
So its sunny this days.
Plus its a public holiday.
Might as well...

I don't really understand boys & girls whom have relatively dark complexion but insist on a tanning session.
What the...

Enjoying nature, and no, we're not quikboys ok. Hah.

My eye is really giving problems.
For whatever it is, please stop...
Its been happening for 3 consecutive times.
First its on the right eye-lid, then the left and now back to the right eye-lid.
And its on different parts of the eye-lid.
Figure the irritations I'm going through...

For whatever it is Timothy Sean, tolong huraikan! Hah.

2005-02-07T13:51:00.000+08:00

Been quite a busy day yesterday.
Went to Ismail's sis wedding reception at Reservoir View.
Been some times since I've been there.
Its been sometimes since the few of us get together huh.

snapshot.

Feast.

Atop the pelamin with the newlyweds.

After that went to pioneer voyage with new people.
Ya'll were nice...
The chinatown visit was also madness.
Too much crowd...

On the travelator to NEL to Chinatown.
(From left) Nabilah, Asri & Timothy.

Damn my eye...
Why ah?
Tim huraikan... Hah.

2005-02-06T13:15:00.000+08:00

Internet really does wonders, don't they...
Don't you think so?

2005-02-02T22:51:00.000+08:00

In the midst of term exams and studying still isn't the priority.
Missed the first written paper after falling off to a slight flu.
Was anticipating it. Hah.

My eye is not at its best now.
The upper eye-lid on my right eye is infected or something.
There's a slight lump on the underside of the eye-lid.
Have seen the doctor, prescripted an eye ointment and was dismissed after check-ups.
This make it not that serious does it?

The contact lenses will have to wait till the eye's okay.
will be wearing glasses for a while, how i hate it...

Was recently reminded by a friend of mine about the comings of some kids birthday.
On why should we still continue to buy em' presents just because they've bought us presents last year after we started on the whole birthday present revolution on them first.
So yeah we started it.
But are reciprocity really needed?

doting novelty.

So it's really thier mum who pushed for my birthday presents after what I've buy on them last year, be it thier birthday or not.
So its her money.
Reciprocity?
Young kids just don't understand lah.

So its been a long time after the family relocated.
After that much frenzy visits to and fro Pasir-Ris.
How stupid do I look on what I did?
Looking back, I really think its stupid to have spent that much time and money.
Nurturing shit. hah.
I've simply outgrown it.
Outgrown you...

"i dont wanna be a big bro no more, done enough of that"

I'm leaving this phenomenon off.
Hope little hafiz will not be outgrown...

Still wandering the cycles, as nothing similar happens that can be passed off as it.
Is this a cycle?
Are you a cycle?
I don't get it.
Does cycle exist, Mr. brown?

Pray for my eye-lid to get better uh.

2005-01-30T20:31:00.000+08:00

The three day Hip Hop Hurray at Esplanade went well.
A good experience for the performers.
Public Eyez have the best set ever.
A real talent and crowd pleaser.

Jointly organised by Esplanade, Musicforgood and Beats-society.

2005-01-27T15:36:00.000+08:00

Had my hair cut a few days ago by amateurs who tried really hard to please.
What ever for...
If not for thier offer I wouldn't have done so.
Was thrown into rehabilitation process after that.
Went to 3 haircuts in two days...

Big thanks to Faiq for the unconditional touch-up.
It was a finishing touch.
Anyway 10 points to "the kahwin duo" for the effort.
And thanks for the cab fare home too.

It seems that the world is windy now.
Its whether the wind have started to blow at this time of the year or that the thick growth on my head have gone.
Its certainly airy, definately a good time for a picnic by the beach.

I've got a new look, everyone have commented on the haircut.

Platform 5,at Planet Pradigm yesterday was a blast.
The most sucessful ever.
Mad props to the team.

For the first time ever, have the Platform series ever seen a sell out.
Apologies to those who didn't managed to get thier tickets.
Do come early next time.

The event kick off with the eccentric Ninja Muscle, winner of Platform 4 ; the only time platform were made into a comp, hyping out the crowd.
Then the new talents are all out to do thier thing.
There were some who choke but the crowd was supportive, try again next time aight.
Double Opposites and 2ways did arguably the best set for the night.
Both coming from the same hiphop fam- a big crew consisting of many rap groups, "Mixed Reactions" they received much accolade from the crowd.
Double Opposites consist of my cousin, Aliff Abdullah & his singing femme friend, Pepper See.
2ways made up of my another cousin, singing sensation Ahamd Syarifullah & Kid's Central fame, Rauzan.
The event was also grazed by much known Bratz Sindicate and an award presentation to Trivalation whom have done much good to the local scene.

On behalf of the team, I would like to say thanks to all for coming and supporting.

The team setting up.

Sani & me feeling the sound engineer.

Don't really understand your plot for the $20 ATM transfer account shit.
How can someone whom suddenly realise that she ain't got enough value in her ez-link but then continue to run into her own refuge of Khatib Reservoir.
What's there to take a bus for?
Till then, would I only come into the picture... for cash?
Guess the others just couldn't be bothered, and then left it to me to solve it all.

I told you didn't have any.
But you called again anyway.
Asking me to get help from others, which didn't.
Why me?
Where's your friends.
Where's your female-bashing boyfriend.
Guess this is what cousins are for to you...

Anyway, I'm not that ruthless.
You got the $20.
Which You claimed was for a bus ride home.
Yeah I lied the first time,saying I didn't have any, which everyone else did.
So all the $20 are used I assume.
Whatever for.

Aren't there any simple Thank You's?
You didn't say anything just now, when we met for eid' adha.
It seems like nothing ever happen.
As though you didn't receive anything.
Are explanations nude, even to someone who've help you when others didn't.

Its not that I'm fretting over $20.
Its that you merely asked for some cash over a family-fiction plot.
But then didn't explain anything when we met.

Sikit-sikit pun ucapkan terima kasih lah.
And talk and discuss this matter when we met.
Cause you're the one who told us earlier bout the problem.
And we need to know whether you're alright and is everthing's fine.
You need to notify us.
Not let the matter hang when you already get what you wanted...
Its like you left us stranded.
Whatever happen after you get the $20?
Did you reach home safely?
What's the outcome?
And stuff.

I'm not your money rolling lawyer firm secretary mum ok.
Its not that easy to give away cash.
At least it could go wilingly to the people i care, not you.

You're spoilt i tell you.

Whatever the $20 are used for?
Whatever!
Let loose.

Oh erm...
Happy Eid'Adha.

Platform 5 on tomorow ok.
Paradigm. 3pm doors open.
See you.

2005-01-20T11:16:00.000+08:00

Managed to get the approval of the manager in not attending work yesterday.
Have already mentally decided particularly to have a session of court soccer at school and to meet up the kekeksters at YP.

Have a particularly great time at the soccer court yesterday.
Due to the recently re-opening of the court, there were not many people there, so we had much time playing amongst ourselves and making new friends- yes playing soccer do widen your social circle.
Had much 'talking and getting to know each other' with Asri, Tim and friends.
Okay so most of them are 86-ers, but they look 87-th, my birth year.
So they are older...

The M49 peeps, the keksters, all of whom are older.
And they're great people...

Have a kekek and hassle-free time at YP yesterday.
Didn't have to worry bout' mum calling and asking my whereabouts and why I'm not home yet as its getting late.
All thanks to them thinking that I'm working.
I didn't say, they the one who assume.
So its ok right? hah.

So all the best people.
Platform 5 is this Saturday 3pm at Planet Paradigm.
Tickets at the door, $10 incl. 2 non-alcoholic drinks, and no age-limits!

And one thing, Tim's a Philipino Indian and no, not Eurasian okay!
See you... Saturday, Planet Paradigm.

Tiger Cup Finals (2nd Leg)
Singapore 2 Indonesia 1
Agregate (SIN 5 INA 2)

The red crowd.

I did manage to watch the finals live at the stadium yesterday.
Much thanks to CairoSyam and hafeez, I managed to get tickets for myself, my two young nephews & thier kid sister.
Hafeez gets a crack out of this too.

The atmosphere was great.
Ya'll sure come down in herds when the team's winning aren't you.
For the first time did I manage to sit in a full capacity Kallang stadium.
Last time only the east gallery and grandstand were occupied, and if it were... barely.
What an experience, it was fun I tell you.
Sure it was.

Abang Am didn't score.
He's nervous I think, seeing at the way he controls the ball after being sub in during the 2nd half.
Or maybe he's not ready in playing his cultured strike role up front with Agu.
He was more of a midfielder during this Tiger Cup campaign.
But during his U-18 days playing for the U-18 national team, he was arguably the best marksman.
Watch this space, he's going somewhere.

Wohoo what a night it was for Singapore football!

Thanks for the fried fusili and the two hotdog buns yeah!
It's filling.

I was there.

From left: Hafeez, Azhar, Farhan, Blake Woodruff.

Thanks for the City of God dvd aight!

2005-01-15T13:49:00.000+08:00

Didn't manage to buy any tickets to this Sunday Finals.
Damn i regret not buying it them the time I was at Tampines stadium.
Guess people started coming in herds when they thought the team is at the top... well almost.
They just want to be part of the best party.
So I guess I'll just have to resort to watching it on the silver screen then.

Anyone willing to sell thier tickets or have any extras?

Why do a man need a gun for?
To protect themselves against other men with a gun?
So what the hell are guns for?
Screw the guns.
No more shoot out... without guns.

People buying ammunitions like picking up groceries?
What do you expect from someone who buys ammunition?
Frame em' and display it on the wall?
Men want guns because other men have it.
What the hell are the police for?

Michael Moore's Bowling for Columbine.

2005-01-12T23:07:00.000+08:00

Ok so the lions did well in winning the away-leg final match at Senayan.
And Abang Am scores too, the family's happy and I bet Singapore too. Hah...
There's only one game left and we're at advantage.
Hope they play well this Sunday...dangerously hopeful!

The tickets for this Sunday match is on sale beginning today, and guess what, was told at the Tampines Stadium;one of the tickets distribution place, that the students' tickets which is priced much more cheaper at $2 is sold out.
Ya'll joking or what?

Did ya'll quota the students' tickets?
Don't you think students makes majority of the willing crowd who goes to the stadium?
Hell yeah FAS!

The willing crowd

Ok, so too much football have been talked bout' lately.
Been watching much dvd's and vcd's this days.
Much due to Haley Joel Osment acting.
He's talented, but still have yet to see his latest movie, which was deemed " a young actor coming of age".

Eh Hatta, bawak dvd City of God tau Monday... jangan lupe lagi...

Things been quite alright, yup alright.
Been adjusting to work lately.
All are ok, just the fact that i need to focus more at school.
Lecture's are lullaby, tutorial's are stupid chores & project works are like constructing expressway on a sliproad... hah.

The camera became a novelty item for this people on Christmas day in conjunction with Bobo's bro wedding reception.

Jakun ke tengok cermin?

Lagi?

1, 2, 3...

Temple of kaki lima.

Ok this are the pictures ya'll wanted people.

2005-01-06T11:29:00.000+08:00

Ok since the lions get through to the finals much have been said of local football and the team.
Many times, I've incidentally heard of or read bout' articles pertainning to the progress of the national team.
But I can't seem to understand why locals have constantly condemmed the lions on thier game-play, even though this time, they managed to get a berth in the Tiger cup 2-legged finals.

Ok so I do admit that football is a spectator sport and fans have every right to make commemnts pertainning to the game.
I've always done that, such as when a player have stupidly give away posseion.
That's part of being a FAN, a true FAN!
But to straight-up condemmed them, critisisng every bit with no caused or basis, that's akwardly rude.
Making mistake is part of football, its the game flow.
Otherwise, Singapore would've already won the World cup!

One recent conversation I've heard seem disturbing.
A local was heard talking to expat regarding the Tiger cup.
A statement which i can't seem to accept.
The local says "I don't really follow Local footbal and stuff."
In which the expat replied "But this one's special right!"
Yeah that's it, even the local didn't support local football.
But I've realised that only a certain ethnic group have done this.
You should know, especially in this malay-populated game football...
You should KNOW!

So much for your coloured-screen box of English Primier League games.
Damn the SCV cable console...

Fuck you!
Even expat's went to the stadium to watch the semis last Sunday.

So much for ya'll now defunct aim for the World cup 2010 finals.
Ya'll don't even lend in your support!

Majulah sukan untuk Negara

Do come in herds for the 2nd-leg final on 16th of January at the Kallang stadium.
And watch my brother Khairul Amri, he usually came in as a substitute... to change the game.

Hah.

2005-01-03T13:46:00.000+08:00

Tiger Cup 2004/2005
2nd Leg
SINGAPORE 4 MYANMMAR 2
Agregate: (SIN 8 MYA 5)

Where were ya'll?
Yes it did rain, but that was never an excuse.
I was there...

So much for ya'll national glory...

Yeah Singapore did went through to the final over a physically aggresive Myanmmar squad but with casualties, mass brawl erupts on the field... and the stands.
Dustbins, umbrellas, water bottles and everything within reach were hurled towards each other.

So much for ya'll sportsmanship!

A friend told that some Singapore skinheads have beat up Myanmmar fans, over the later causing hurt to a Singaporean 4 year old boy.

So much for ya'll tight security?

Majulah Sukan untuk Negara

hah!

2004-12-27T21:12:00.000+08:00

Went to 80:180 II, it was blast, especially getting expose to the drum & bass scene and music, they sure make you move.

Salim, Sue, Wok its nice meeting ya'll.
Thanks for the warm welcome.

Was making myself a cup of 3-in-1 tea and decided to add up on extra condensed milk. As the milk was in its last bit, I filled the container with hot water to get the most out of it, so that I will not have to scrape through it. The aroma of the hot condense milk then sent me straight up into reminiscents.

*black & white footage*

for insisting that they need an id for buying tickets to an nc-16 screening
for covering up, that ya'll id were checked tho it wasn't

the frequent cycles to and fro'
we're closed just like bro's
till the sudden youth outrage...
you've grown

Nasrulhaq,
where u now?
maybe its a one-part feel that makes it easy to be just set aside
maybe its the ego problem
tho' the situation is cleared, no more "keep in touch" continuation
maybe there's advantages taken here
maybe, maybe, maybe

Nadziah,
what is there to say
like you tho'
tho' i'm not quite sure to enter a relationship
like you tho'
you're still captivating
like you
tho' you've once treat me as a subject of disgust
like u tho'
coz you've once like me too
still like you tho'

"i will not sing of lust and misery
i will not write about what i cant feel
i will not say the things that i dont mean
i will not say i will not love you still
open up your heart
and dont let me go
start telling the things
you want me to know
reshape your mould
for the misshapen soul"

and lastly, thanks for those b'dae wishes.

2004-12-01T22:28:00.000+08:00

2004-11-15T19:58:00.000+08:00

Well here i am...
Its been some time now, the computer can't connect to the net much to my fancy.
Its now that I manage to spend the time playing Championship Manager 4 everytime I switched on the computer. It was to the internet everytime last time!

Its the second day of Syawal and I'm in town, using the computer at a cybercafe.
The family have gone back to Muar, Malaysia, to visit my paternal's grandfather's grave and the relatives there. Anyway they'll be back later...
So I'm all alone here... decide to go to town-after much delay in finding someone to accompany me to town- to buy some T-shirts for my KL trip this Wednesday.
Well practically ery'body's out visiting thier relatives, 'cept for Im whose mum and sis is sick so is not out jalan raye.

So here I am typing due to the influence of this blogging freak. hah! No offence...

The first day of Syawal was quite surprising, i found out that a fellow enthusiast who is also a friend's kind of adopt-bro is actually my cousin, well practically second cousins.
Was at the Sembawang bungalow, my granny's brother's house, that i chance upon the twins who i've long familiarise with. Then up ahead saw 14 year old Syarif much to my surprise...
So if the twins is Syarif's brother, then Syarif???

We talked what we were supposed to talked and both were similarly dazed, much to the fancy of Aliff, Syarif's cousin and the only second cousin-but Aliff stated that we're cousins- whom i talked to.

So Im, that's the twins you're talking about, they're my cousins and Syarif too...Hah!

Oh Selamat Hari Raya, happy collecting...
and Happy late Deepavali too.

Anyway SGHiphop fest' will happen this 11 December at Hong Lim Park.
Grab your tickets its $15, will be out around this week.
Retailing at Da Cave, Queensway Shopping Center and Da Source, Far East Plaza.

Will be back later as the computer at home is still not functioning properly...
KL here i come!

2004-11-02T23:30:00.000+08:00

I actually wanted to write something within my range of touched empathy about the song that is featured in the last post.
Its about living childhood life far from love and with constant youth uprising within the same gender and age circle.
Well practically Its partly influenced by the movie itself, Les Choristes or romanised as The Choir Boys.
But then i do feel for it.
The movie touched me and make me ponder does this really happens somehow, somewhere in reality.
This happens everytime when a certain story enclosed my thoughts within its plot.
Anyway its still a movie or what one would say...story.

Ya'll gotta watch it, its simple storyline set in post-war France is great partnered with its adorable and charming cast.
Particularly 11 year old Jean-Baptiste Maunier who plays the main character of Pierre Morhange and doubles up as the real lead singer for the movie's sondtracks.
Well he is actually a choir boy from the choir that was selected to sing in the movie, Les Petits Chanteur de Saint-marc from Lyon, France.

Figure this...
I've watch it 2 times and get myself its Soundtrack album.
Now what'd you say?

Anyway its just a story...
Yeah sure it was.

I'm Feeling French...
------------------------------------------------

Ramadhan is in its mid-month.
Every preparation is already gearing up.
The aroma at home is filled with the smell of baked cake and cookies.
The sound of the mixer mixing the dough is unbearable sometimes.
Anyway getting to savour all the home-made cookies and cakes is magnificent as it only happen once a year. Tho' at times the break fast preparation gets neglected...

The desktop computer have started to not being able to connect to the internet, I'm using someone's lappy. It's starting to deteriorate, will get Syed to fix it later...
But when?

Hari Raya in 2 weeks.
Will talk more possibly...
In the mean time I'm getting my self busy by managing Manchester United F.C.
I've already won the Champions League and English League Cup.
Am I a good manager?
What more is there to say?

Fergie getting sacked because of my managing abilities or beacause of losing to Portsmouth?

2004-10-25T17:03:00.000+08:00

Vois sur ton chemin

Vois sur ton chemin
Gamins oubli'es 'egar'es
Donne leur la main
Pour les mener
Vers d'autres lendemains

Sens au coeur de la nuit
L'onde d'espoir
Ardeur de la vie
Sentier de gloire

Bonheurs enfantins
Trop vite oubli'es effac'es
Une lumi'ere dor'ee brille sans fin
Tout au bout du chemin

Sens au coeur de la nuit
L'onde d'espoir
Ardeur de la vie
Sentier de la gloire

*English translation

See on your way

See on your way
Stray forgotten kids
Give the their hand
To carry out them
Worms of other following days

Feel in the heart of the night
The wave of hope
Heat of the life
Path of glory

Childish happiness
Too much quickly forgotten unobtrusive
A gilded light shines without end
All at the end of the road

Feel in the heart of the night
The wave of hope
Heat of the life
Path of glory

A day's out with the lads were much more merrier than expected.
Avoided Geylang packed crowd, so we ended in Beach Road for our iftar or best known as breakfast session.

The long gone but still exist phenomenon cyber game were resurrected yesterday.
We played Counter-Strike or more acclaimed as CS to past our time towards iftar.
Some have definately re-started playing this game earlier-we were in our prime in this game during our sec 1 and sec 2 years- as they have finished thier semestral exams.
My skills have started to come back and I'm longing for more CS...

Yeah,will be having a session of CS today!

Here's some pictures of the outing.

Went to an accidental 80's rock gig.

A snapshot with our very own Papa Rock "Raimi Sarip"

The new and upcoming eccentric rock band "chuekelek"
Band members from left: Lead guitarist-Choketawee, Guitarist/Vocalist-Kalaguding, Basist- Chap and Drummer-Craft.

The chicks at the gig.

Then off to the Hjh Fatimah Mosque for our Asar prayers.

We come in peace.

abulution.

At beach rd food center, while waiting for azan.

Food galore...

We're off.

The boy.

In the Bus to Shah's condo.

Home sweet home.

Reach home round 12.30 midnight.
Terus kene lecture...
haha.

2004-10-16T11:51:00.000+08:00

Feelin Ramadhan activist!
Check out the above newly advert cum shout-out space and the notions segment on the sidebar.

Its 2nd day of Ramadhan now, and families from the paternal side came down to break fast together just now.
Had chicken rice as main course with grape flavoured syrup...for drink.
Particularly there's too much food for all to be consumed.Puasa katakan...

Eh bile nak pegi bazaar Geylang ah korang?
Bile nak buka bersama-sama?

If I were to address this to all of ya'll,
I probably have to attend 3 to 4 break fast session with 3 to 4 different groups of peeps of different circle. Maybe more...

2004-10-15T01:30:00.000+08:00

Ramadhan's just started and i'm already hyming to Hari Raya tunes.

Had even argued to a course mate bout' whether M. Nasir really had a Hari Raya track.
Man...is she really that dumb?
Satu hari di Hari Raya lah...
So what you gonna do one day in syawal?

Can't wait to step foot on Geylang festive bazzar.
Yup its been a year...well at least according to the muslim calendar...

Its one something in the morning and i ain't sleeping yet.
Macam maner nak bangun sahur nanti...pegi tidurlah.
Yelah nak tidur lah ni!
Till' then...Happy fasting people.

2004-10-10T23:57:00.000+08:00

Been having reminiscents of that someone and how i feel we were still like brothers.
Time changes things and... people too,
All thanks to time and we simply couldn't have enough of it.

And yup, thanks to time, Ramadhan is catching up on us.
I love Ramadhan, do i?
The atmosphere's gonna be magnificent...
The month's gonna be peaceful...
I love Ramadhan, yes i do!

Thanks to the dreaded time again, semester examinations are coming.
Its like as tho' school have just re-started yesterday, well practically bout a month ago.
And now its gonna be examination.
Ya Rasul...

But without it, how are thou going to live thou days?

School is simply bad- except getting to know Tim and friends- due to the notion of wanting to withdraw from the course still lingering in the head.
Work is worse, its beyond words...
When will i go?

Been having some uncomfortable situations this days,
someone will know...

How i wish my thesaurus is as huge as Brontosaurus or Tyranorsaurus.
My oral skills just as fluent as John Dyke's.
Presentation air of confidence as Marlon Brando's.
And a confidant just as Tiong is to Keluangman.

Let's just end it this way...
Cause' being at ease don't really matter,
It doesn't stay...

2004-09-27T21:22:00.000+08:00

Many act differently when they are interacting on the internet. The reality of not being able to see the other human being and vice-versa makes one bolder and the more decisive. Some could even cursed you on the net and act like they never when you meet eye-to-eye. An example to show is the phenomenon of chatting. One would be having an extroverted relation and interaction through the net medium but when they bump into each other outside in the real world, they could simply switch off and pretend not to know each other even though they know how that person looks like either through file sharing pics or personal web-page. As a matter of fact they would only tend to thier net friends only on the net because there's where they got to know each other and some will continue to do so, cause' they feel its enough that way. The lines are spacebar-ed and the full-stops are caps lock-ed!

The first thing to realize is that Internet-world is part of reality. The people you correspond with on the network are real people with lives and careers and habits and feelings of their own. Things you say on the net can make you friends or enemies, famous or notorious, included or ostracized. You need to take the electronic part of your life seriously. In particular, you need to think about and consciously choose how you wish to use the network. Regard electronic mail as part of a larger ecology of communication media and genres -- telephone conversations, archival journals and newsletters, professional meetings, paper mail, voice mail, chatting in the hallway, lectures and colloquia, job interviews, visits to other research sites, and so forth -- each with its own attributes and strengths. The relationships among media will probably change and new genres will probably emerge as the technologies evolve, but make sure that you don't harbor the all-too-common fantasy that someday we will live our lives entirely through electronic channels. It's not true.

One might engage in many forms of communication on the net -- one-to-one electronic correspondence, network discussion groups, Web publishing, MSN and so forth. And these interactions might be employed as part of a wide variety of professional activities: sharing raw data, arguing about technical standards, collaborating on research projects, chasing down references, commenting on drafts of papers, editing journals, blogging, planning meetings and trips, and so on. Underlying all of these disparate activities, though, is the activity of building and maintaining professional relationships. Electronic communication is wasted unless we use it to seek out, cultivate, and nurture relationships with other human beings. Unfortunately the existing mechanisms for electronic interactions, by reducing people to abstract codes (like coincidence_enthusiast@hotmail.com) and the phenomenon of he-can't-see-me notion, make it difficult to keep this deeper dimension of interaction in mind. Still, there's no escaping it: if you aren't consciously building relationships, you're probably getting lost.

Much have occured during this period of time.
Making me re-think towards the significants of life.
Those happy times spent, those sad moments endured...
From the reconciliation of a bro, to the parting of a mutual friend.

Yup, a friend from way back, -we've been in the same class in sec 1 and 2- have left this world.
3 weeks back, you're on the Bedok North Secondary Sch stage singing your love for the teachers who once teached you and guided you till Polytechnic.
2 days back, saw you on the bus when I was on my way to the interchange, managed a brief conversation as you are departing on your stop...you look well.
But outta sudden...
They said its high fever...

When I received the news bout the death, couldn't really tell what's my emotion.
Wasn't that sad...
Maybe we wasn't that close.But hey we were in the same class way back in sec 1 and 2.
I've even step a foot on your house to do a lil project or watsoever back in those times.

Can't really tell my feelings in this type of situation, I wonder?
Back when my grandma' passed on bout 4 years ago, i didn't even cry...
Yah, maybe I wasn't really that closed to her...
We'll see if someone closed goes...
Maybe we weren't that closed- wouldn't be a reason anymore.

School have re-started,It's busy time!
All those assignments, tutorials and projects, its keeping my schedule quite tight and compact.

Plus the fact that the duty schedule at my working place is already up.
So on Tuesday and Thursday from 6pm to 12 midnight i'm unavailable.
Either to pick up your calls, reply your messages or simply meet-up and attend to ya'll-if applicable.

ermm...

And for those two daylights, i'll be at school,as usual.
So there's no way to attend to any hoo-haa.

Is there a need to "report strenght" every time, either day or night to a particular party?

Disclaimer: The writer reserves the rights to be busy in anytime he would. Its not a practice to notify people about his whereabouts and plans. There's no way the schedule is going to be adhered to strictly-in where situation arouse, the writer will know his priorities best. Therefore no schedule actually exist, as life is not live by schedules. It's governed by a case-by-case basis in which one will apply his basic intelect, priorities and common sense to make a decision on where to go and what to be done. The above information is correct at the time of publish unless otherwise stated.

The computer at home is uhh...damn.
I'm updating from school.
Its not that it cannot be use but i just hate using it, it brings in problems!
Will be having it reboot next week by hook or by crook.Hope Syed can make it.
Therefore at this point of time "this" will be seldom updated and pictures will not be uploaded in where i wish i could.

I'm in transit, I'm searching for what i am.
Am i confused?, I'm blearied.
Some of ya'll arrival makes it more deepened.

National Day have gone by, our nation have turned 39.Singapore have progressed from a fishing village to somehow a metropolis city.We've gone through war and survived it.C'mon look back people,how our fore-fathers make it in this, far from the comfort of thier home land.

How are they back then?
How are we now?

We are getting a new Prime Minister, he will be sworn in later this week.

Yup,I'm the only one from the family who visit him and his family yesterday, somewhat I'm the only one closest to them in the family.My mom have taken care of his youngest kid when he is into some crisis back then. Nevertheless its back to normal now and he's expecting his fourth child this October.Amusingly his kids called me abang,but i myself called him abang.Maybe they should call me pakcik right.

Things been working quite well...hmm.
Sort off.
No much hiccups,wonder why i'm feeling this way.

Some peeps whom i've been on a hostile set-up seems to be talking to me...again.But i ain't the one who started the hostility tho'.Maybe it should be..."some peeps whom have been on a hostile approach seems to have started talking to me again."

Haha!

The first case have been cleared recently,but i'm the one whom dig up the enquiry after bout 9 months of keeppingmum-avoiding-lookaway & don't want to greet even tho' we knew each other notion taken up by that someone.Hmm after taking the steps assured by Imran,that is to ask openly what's the problem and don't try to argue over it,finally he open up.

He claims that he is offended that i seem to be angry when he doesn't get me something for my birthday.Haha,kelakar tau.C'mon man,i don't expect something materialistic for my birthday...

Anyway the hiatus is over...maybe so.

Then few hours ago,another one with that hostile approach called me up.But in this case the Imran steps couldn't or hasn't yet be applied as i've known the caused...but maybe i should go and ask lah.

So ok he called me up just now...outta the blue.We've been on quite a lil talkin terms few months back tho',yeah we greeted when bumped into each other,but to be like our yester-years,talking like bro' to bro',it just ain't happenning.Maybe time have passed and that have added to the gap.
Ya,conversations have been limited to greetings.

Wonder why he called...
Uhuh,he wanted a sneaker,to borrow one till he buy a new pair.
Politely obliged as he claimed its for schooling.

Why me?
Ya,back then he used to keep some of my pairs of sneakers,we've exchanged some too.
I own quite a few pairs tho',but why after a long hiatus,you've comeback to borrow.
This doesn't sound right kan.

Are the relation currently what it used to be?
Don't think so.
The ultimate Question is,why suddenly ask me for a favor?
Is this taking advantage?

Maybe should let it rest.
Maybe should ask him why.
Maybe should be sincere.

Will i get my fair share of pahala,afterall i'm enabling someone to go to school and continue his education.At the same time,i've enable him to cover his feet from the possible harm,which in turn will keep him walking and able to perform his duty as a healthy muslim...hope so.

Hmm...Maybe should be sincere.

Let speak bout' Linguistic historica.

Well today's Berita Minggu touch the issue of where does the name Melayu came by.In it Professor Dr Amat Juhari Moain,from University Putra Malaysia says that the word Melayu stands by itself and not as a noun or imbuhan as in me-layu (as in withered).Contradict to that, Melayu actually was Malayu,which is a name of a river that is known to flow rapidly and is located far south in Sumatera.Back then in malay linguist, there are only 3 vowels; 'a', 'i' and 'u'.As the language develop the vowel 'e' appears and consequently Malayu became Melayu.

Therefore,it gives a positive approach and uphold to the word Melayu which could be link with the words fast, rapid and thus progress.

Propter hoc,Melayu means a progressive race and not a withered community.

Let me give ya'll another example extracted from DenganSecaraKebetulan.

Do you know "Melayu" means "to run" in Sanskrit? So Malaya, originally the land of the Malays, was also known as Tanah Pelarian or Land of the People Who Ran(immigrants/refugees).
-dengansecarakebetulan

There's a similar significance from this both article.The word fast, rapid and run.All denoted the same meanings in some circumstances.

Come lets be a melayu nation...

My house looks as tho' tomorrow is Syawal.Some bits of cleaning here and there, change of bedsheets and the erection of a new shelf.And most obvious is the change of new curtains,wohoo.Got to help in piercing the curtains pin and putting them up.Nevertheless Dad did most of it.

Wonder why?

Yup,Next week my dad's last and youngest brother is gonna get married.And the ceremony is taking place here as Grandma is here...sort of.Tho' uncle already got a house few months back.Can't wait for it.

I wish i could bring the digicam for 7th August, the Flag day.But the nikah is on the day itself and most probably dads gonna use it for the ceremony.Hmm...

Do i look Chinese?

Those people keep conversating with me in mandarin.Be it those factory aunties where i used to work with during the vacation,shopkeeper,stallholder and people in the streets.There's also an incidence when a makcik whom stall which i'm buying food from talk to me in English,when i replied fluently in malay,she was astonished and ask was i malay?

The latest incident just occured recently,this morning after i completed my visit to the doctor at Tampines Polyclinic-yup im down with flu,maybe its the weather and i got 2 days m.c.-I was thirsty so i came up to this chinese aunty at a fruitstall,she was selling fruit juices and home made soyabean drink.

Me:Aunty one how much? (pointing to the soyabean drink)
Aunty: liu mao
Me:ah? sorry? (trying to sound english)
Aunty:Ike liu mao

Thinking that maybe she doesn't conversate in english,i did my own calculations in mandarin (i could understand a lil mandarin 1 to 10 tho'). ei,er,san,ser,uu,liao...Thats it sixty cents.Pay her up,and heard clearly that she could talk clearly and fluently in english,this time with a malay pakcik whom ask her bout the price of her tauhue.

Aiyah wa pu yau chang hua yi!

Last Sunday,yesterday exactly
Played soccer at the field opposing Sheng Shiong market.Came late as i've to attend weekly religious class in the morning.
Waiting is the most dreaded thing...
Waited for the bus which can take me to the field.There are many which i could take but damn it the bus which couldn't get me there keep appearing and the bus which could just didn't came.
First it was sevice no. 60,then after 10 min no. 21 came.A few metres away could see a double deck bus,was relieve as most of the bus i could take was found as a double decker.But fcuk it was 60 again.The waiting game continues and now its no. express 506,even if it could take me there i wouldn't have took it,its a special bus and the fee is also extra special.After waiting bout' 45 mins then the busses came in herds.Damn..this sounded like a conspiracy,can SBS explain this.
Why does this happen when one is late?and this is not the first time!

Went to Baybeats tho' on Saturday,Force Vomit show was the best!!
