The Year That Was 2007

Christmas has just passed (raya haji passed 3 days earlier) and in 3 days time i'm all in for a new year! So in between xmas and new year's day, some of us might take this time to reflect the year that is about to go down as another year that doesn't just makes up our age, but the nostalgia - bitter and sweet - that comes together with it.

With the help from my previous posts, i managed to recapture the moments that define the year 2007 for me. (though not all due to the time constrains and having to multiple tasks a few programs over here)

1 - I started the year with a feeling so low that i even considered different ways of suicide sometimes (drinking poison, jumping off from a building, poison myself AND jumping off from a building. im not creative man). i was a bit uncertain about quiting matrix and got my arse in to UiTM. its an unnecessary "facelift". but somehow the fresh feeling when i got there (albeit it took me about a month to adjust to the surroundings) got me thinking that i might well have made the right choice. whatmore, if i did continue in matrix, the chance for me to study abroad is absolute zero. and the fact that there is a 50-50 chance that if i am to score a killer cgpa i might well stand a chance to go the US got me even thrilled. in some odd ways, i am still in contact with my matrix friends and not all are rosy over there. some have gone to maktab perguruan to become teachers and others went to universities and got themselves weird and predictably low prospect courses. thats not to say that there isn't anyone getting that killer courses, instead there are lots of them as well. but judging for myself on how far i could go, the killer courses is a far far stretch from reality. good thing i moved out. and economics seems to fit well into my system! oh, and as of now, i managed a cgpa of 3.94!

2 - 2007 saw me doing weird stuffs. people do weird things for survival you know and in my case, the year 2007 saw me donating blood, riding the train home and back to campus and played in a band (brass band, not rock band). these are simply too weird, i can't even imagine doing those stuff before i got there. but i glad i did. : )

bukti derma darah!

3 - I had my first real girlfriend.

parts and parcels of growing up i guess. the date, texting till dusk, bday gifts, etc are fun. the ditching part too. xD

4 - Discovered great music.

I used to only listen to alternative rock, prog rock and any other mainstream type of rock music. not anymore, since i got serious with sputnikmusic, i discovered a whole new spectrum of wonderful music. suddenly bands and artists like beirut, belle and sebastian, white shoes and the couples company, and even techno music and ambients and trip hop (moby, zero 7, esthero, mandalay, mogwai, etc.). i guess im a bit mature in my taste. heh! and yeah, im now totally into indonesain indie ; ) . and im no more using p2ps.

white shoes and the couples company

5 - Got a job.

Not the sales promoter thing (the store) that i got myself tortured with 2 years ago, but instead a more respective job but unfortunately with little pay to compare with the promoter job. i was (and still am) a proof reader for the degree student's public speaking drafts thing. eventhough i find myself unqualified fully for this job but the idea of charging rm15 per script and finally people look forward to me really got me going. heh.

6 - Talked to a hobo.

7 - Watched wayang kulit live!

8 - I checked in into a hotel and stayed there for one night, ALONE. complete with room service!

Simply because i was dead bored waiting for the next finals paper and the gap was too long. watched a movie at night for the first time.

9 - Steve Irwin died from a stingray shot.

10 - Bennazer Bhutto died after being shot AND bombed by a suicide bomber. (its breaking news man, fresh from tv!)

11 - AC Milan are the european and world club champions.

But their performance in domestic competitions is horrible.

12 - England failed to qualify for EURO 08.

Football powerhouse konon. that is like a joke that sits pretty well along with some ali G's interviews and the simpsons movie. and that leads to...

13 - Watched the Blackadder, Ali G, and Weeds.

Those things up there are highly recommended. especially blackadder 3 and blackadder goes fourth. oh, and musn't forget blackadder's back and forth!

blackadder goes fourth.

14 - My father is now officially a pensioner (01 July 07).

15 - I think i've become less sarcastic this year. and my english is getting worse!

Well i guess that's all that made my 2007. hopefully next year will be better.

Season's greetings!

Time Sure Flies like a Concorde

Its that time of the year again where you have to pack your things in bags and boxes for that dreadful horrible horrible place - the one with no hot showers and filled with jerk-faced pak guards scrutinizing suspiciously on your every detail (especially the hair!) and horny professors -and realise that time can actually move faster than the speed of light! and definitely, future zaid, this is the best time to contemplate on how you miss the holidays that have been spent rather wastefuly at times, well most of the time. lho!

I have less than 12 hours to enjoy my short lived freedom before i have to get my arse back to hellhole. mail and amin have already returned to campus. i'd be gone next morning. shahir will arrive in the evening.

time really seems to move faster now!

So now instead of contemplating about things that cant be changed (that tomorrow will come after today and not after tomorrow, whichever way you put it) i think for blogging purpose - which i still strongly believe its primary use is to record your life stories so that the future generations can study this as a reference or historical artefact of sorts - or at least stories to tell to your son(s)/daughter(s) - i shall refrain from regularly using any cusses of any sorts and given the circumstances im in, i'll just reflect the holidays that i've been through.

alright, i've been writing rubbish up there. but im in emotional mood. apologies for the time filler.

Holidays... it seems as if the year is full of holidays this time. maybe the fact that im no more a school student wearing school uniforms with a school neck tie and school shoes explains nicely why holidays are abundant(heh?). so this holidays instead of thinking that it is just a time where you stay idle and indulge in your daily indoor activities (tv, football manager, music, food) until you get tired and eventually died -partially- of doing the same thing over and over again, i realised that this holidays have been quite meaningful in a way. or ways. ; )

Plans that i had for the holidays (learning arabic, preparing drafts for acels newsletters, WORKING) are all ditched simply for the lack of motivation to do them, and of course football manager. so i came to a conclusion that by ditching the make-holidays-meaningful- programmes, i have succesfuly put my holidays to waste, again. surprisingly though, instead of thinking that i've wasted em, i think this holidays are quite special. the reason?

1 - i found a girl who is overly qualified to be my wife.

albeit only a tv character. xD her tv name is sasha, and her real name is ayushita nughara. that my friend is not japanese, shes indonesian. she's bloody cute and her character in the movie "me vs high heels" is sooo adorable you wud feel like wanting to make her your basketball pal/girlfriend straight away! and that leads me to...


2 - meeting new people+learnt a new language.
i met new people while googling for ayushita. yeah. im painfully hopeless. found ayushita's yahoogroup and joint straightaway. heh. added an indon fan of hers and eventually i learnt her language (tho not arabic). so i guess i can safely put in my cv -speak and write decently in indonesian-. is that a plus point? maybe...


3 - got myself a "multiply" account.
a web comunity that is better than friendster simply because i get to download obscure music very very quickly like less than 5minutes for two 5mb songs! arshomeness...

4 - downloaded last.fm

... out of desperation for not having p2ps because i was madly in love with camera obscura and beirut and having no alternatives whatsoever to get their songs. this thing is like pandora man! highly, highly recommended!

5 - found out more great bands

... through sputnikmusic.com, last.fm and the wonderfully undissapointing multiply. now i have an almost complete collection of white shoes and the couples company, complete albums of the kooks, razorblade, neutral milk hotel, the libertines and a few songs from camera obscura. i even revisit the trip hop genre and i am grateful for esthero and mandalay. they both rock my undies!

6 - rediscovered the joy of friendster/texting on msn+ym.

its always a pleasant(sp?) feeling to strengthen that old bonds. and that countless meaningless-at-times comments on friendster. xD

7 - football manager 2008.

alexandre pato plays for ac milan. plus more worldclass players. though having cesc fabregas and given his form since last season, andrey schevchenko as worldclass players are highly questionable.

8 - there's a fish pond in the house.

and it is beautiful with the kops in there.

... there are supposed to be more than this but well, thats all i can think of this holidays.

so i guess this holidays are not a complete waste afterall.

As Of Now...

Those pretty much indicate what i've been doing and looking all this holidays.

So the reason why I don't blog so much lately is pretty simple - I just have too much to say.

Include with the fact that I am fucking lazy (I really don't care about censoring myself anymore), everytime I go on blogspot, I shoot blanks.

Haha that sounds so wrong.I repeat, I shoot blank phrases. And the fact i got myself football manager 2008 is another good reason why i rarely blog.

As usual the first few days of the holidays were awesome, like whhhooaaaaa, im free from the clutches of mundane life, no more bathing in cold water in the morning (or never bathe at all in the morning) and no more having to look at the anak mamak's bitchy face. and i get to watch the channels without having to contemplate whether they'd think im such a weirdo watching blackadder on bbc.

Well, that was the first few days. and blackadder is no more on tv.

And that left me with nothing much to do. football manager suddenly (and surprisingly) got me a bit bored, and with nothing in plan, i got too bored. oh, i also have stopped downloading songs from soulseek and limewire ever since my dad found out in the papers about the rm250k min fine imposed to illegal downloaders and put a ban from me using those p2ps. so that definitely left me with nothing to do. so i dug through my hard disk and the cds on the rack and i got tired watching all of them bar weeds season 1 and the unfinished season 2.

Oh, i should've mentioned that before the holidays i was planning on learning arabic. that didn't work out. and i was also planning about writing some drafts for the supposedly next sem release of "acels eye-the bulletin" considering that i happen to be the hardworking editor for that thing. that didn't work out either! and don't even think about going to work, that plan is done and dusted even before the holiday past the 1 week mark.

Back to where I was at. I've got too much to say. I went to a lot of things, and somehow that thing that I do - blogging- is too much of a burden.

So screw it all!

Bye bye.

And oh, the fucking uitm bill still haven't been released yet from the site. Fuckers. and im in love with ayushita nughara.

Blackadder is the Best Thing on TV

I need a girlfriend.

Blank

Been to my brother's house a few days back and i had finished presumably the best book i've read this year. its will kelly's my lagendary girlfriend.

and its making me want to write about my depressing state of loneliness and inferiority complex myself. later, when i feel like doing. supposedly during my ceiling gazing moment in my room when the semester starts.


There's a new tv in the living room.

I'm out of words.

Let the Game Begins!

Apart from the pix above, this is another comedy material.

Yet its kinda ambitious... heh

and oh... regarding the most overhyped national football team in the world's failure to reach EURO 08... this one is pure gold! and my favourite

last, but not least, grandma's home... :B

Raya. Exam. Fuck.

Amazing isn't it? i've spent my entire day not playing the suckingly addictive football manager. and out of the blue, i made a few makeovers (not that the pages experienced significant changes whatsoever) to my fs and blogspot and put the long awaited pix uploads (im the one waiting, others wouldn't bother). and i rediscovered the joy of online text messaging and watching youtube.

right, there's something definitely wrong here.


I NEED FOOTBALL MANAGER!!!


So, there. ive confessed. if its not for the fuckin downloaded update patch i would've led prato to serie B by now! ok, so there's a saying that people learn everyday. and people learn through mistakes. pffft. ok so i swear that i wont download any update patch again! it is sooooo troublesome that i wasted 1 hour figuring out how to undo the damage. and it turned out... wasteful.

so again, people say that there's always a silver lining in cloudy skies (or something like that, my english is not first class mind you). that makes me wonder what sort of "silver lining" that i can put to logic into this matter.

aha! exams is next week!

ok. so what to do now. i have done with raya. now is simply study week. and i should be studying. but there are soooo many raya leftovers that i cannot waste it on somebody else! blurgh, i simply should be studying. right, i'll start tomorrow coz theres nothing much to do with the pc without football manager anyway.

talking bout football manager - since i have all the time in the world that i just realised ive been having since my football manager game broke down - the new edition will be released on the 19th, which is THIS FRIDAY! just watched the screenshots and the comments about fm08 and it looks promising! lots of important changes and new things especially on the "media" and "transfers" have been put into it and i have to get a copy exactly after i finished with my exams and spend my hols playing the stuff. so that's my plan. well you know that planning is the first step that should be taken in management. :winks:

and that leads us to another point. exam is next week. again i should be studying. ok. i'll start tomorrow. and i shall spend the entire days left until i bring my arse back to arau studying. with the genuine intention of scoring a killer result. no joke. i think i can achieve it this time. and i simply need to.

on another note, i just stumbled upon this at sputnikmusic and if what is posted is true, radiohead is definitely genius to the max! no matter how hard muse tries to immitate radiohead, they simply leg wayyyy behind. so now what muse? wanna distribute music like what radiohead just did? soooo unrevolutionary... anyways, this thing being said by one of the forumers gets my attention,

"This is just great! It's funny how a band has better marketing plans than a record label. Great."

... now, THAT is news...


and last, but not least... i just saw this on devart.

england got beaten by russia (2-1)!!! w00h00!!!

Michael Jackson Can Do the Space Walk

3... 2... 1...














RM95 million blasts off into space!!!

so after the big blast off sending an even bigger sum of money into the stratosphere, people might ask... where do we go from here?

dont get me wrong. i dont have any problem with the angkasawan programme, it is something uber cool actually to tell your overseas friends that we have sent an astronaut/space tourist into space and the chances are, if your international friend is not from the us, uk, india, russia, china or any other selected few that i dont even know are in this elite bunch... apart from talking about the sepang f1 circuit, the space programme is good publicity.

at least something proud to point out against the singaporkians.

malaysia, the progressive harmonious multi-racial islam hadari/secular state, etc. etc.

so, back to the question... we have a malaysian in space, and where do we go from here? as we all know, the aerospace technology -thanks to the cold war- has been dominated by the us and russia, and china have already stept into the fray (they successfuly destroyed their own satellite, all in the name of testing... star wars seems possible in the near future, watch out usa! xP). india have sent a few men into space as well and they might join in the space race...

having said that, the countries mentioned above unsurprisingly have 10 inch deep pockets and they are the world economic powerhouses. malaysia on the other hand, with its limited money and even more limited knowledge are light years behind to compare with these countries. i cant see malaysia being a space power in the future. imagine us having a ministry of aerospace ala nasa. and think about the money spent on this project. just to send one man into space takes almost rm100 million, to build a rocket and develop the technologies needed and rnds and employing experts will take billions! we dont have to sacrifice the "rakyat's" welfare just for this. i simply cannot see that coming.

but i really hope that it will be possible one day. i just dont want this to be a publicity stunt that is not worth the money. hopefully my parents' tax money is well spent and this space thing is a stepping stone for better things in the future.

and that makes me wonder, with 95m... just imagine what are the opportunity cost sacrificed by the government?

- rm 95m can help build 10 schools -perhaps more-. you wont believe me saying that the malaysian public have lots of retarded idiots. i saw many during my ns days. the ratio is 9 in 10. if the money is spent on educating them, the labour market will definitely yield more professionals and skilled labours instead of importing them from outside. and having more pizza delivery men and gas attendants. and that too will reduce the number of criminals and casses like nurin and countless others before that -and definitely, after- wont happen. and their parents lifes would be even happier.

- better police service. (again) cases like nurin wont happen if we have better police. and forensics as well. with that in mind, definitely the culprits can be identified and get shot by now!

- free healthcare. it is rediculous to believe my economics lecturer saying that we have to pay even more nowadays for healthcare in government hospitals. then again, he was there and he knows what's what. i thought the inflation rate is still 3%?

c'mon lar pak lah!

- an independent money-fueled enquiry into the hotly discussed judicial thing

(Politician A: No need to investigate me wan... i can give you money...

Politician B: Do you have 95m?

Politician A : Fcuk!)

- continue mahathir's projects.

on another non-politically influenced things that i have to mention in this post, i'll return to the survivor game tomorrow. help my relatives at the kampung making lemang.

HELP!!!

i can teach you to space walk baby! WOW!
(my bro used to have his tapes)

Malaysia's First Space Tourist Tonight!

If sigur ros' glosoli video was the best video for last year, then this year's (as of now... still 2 months till next year) super furry animals' run away gets the honour.






its a new release, just been released this week actually and i saw it on channel [v]'s record shop yesterday and simply put, genius! it has been a loooong time since i watched anything as good as this since radiohead's just. we need more of this...


anyways, another new release is on today. arguably(sp?) the best band on the planet -radiohead- had released their 7th studio album after a very very long 5 years called "in rainbows" and its available for downloads starting today at here. so i can pay whatever i want for the album, but i need a hardcopy for this one. im a fan. based from a reputable source, i might have to wait for next year till its available in stores.

have to start saving rm40 today!


so raya is on friday is it? no baju raya this year...

The Reason Why Columbus Discovered America

Shhh... shhh...


I have just discovered a refuge. with free internet and free use of the computer. the connection speed is tolerable to a point of satisfactory - which is good - though the only drawbacks are that i can't access my fs account and other blogs and sites which have contents of even minimal cursings.

This place is "highly" air-conditioned. I forgot to bring my sweater. and i can spend the whole morning from 9am to 1pm without having to wait for other people to finish doing whatever things they are doing with the computers because the place is highly deserted - i only see 5 people around here, and there are like 20++ computers to choose from- and/or pay rm3 for every hour which is highly economical.


This my friend, is the computer lab.

And i shall spend my entire weekends here.



Shhh... shhh...



and oh, columbus found the wrong india, so he didnt get any spices to trade... in other words, he simply discovered America by mistake.

She Speaks English!

Lydia teh is now one of my fav watch... if anyone happen to read her book "Honk! If you're Malaysian" you might've known how a grown up with 4 children (was it 4?) still rants and talks like troubled teens that i usually see in my friends' blogs... check out her rantings here

Anyhows, chelsea have got an israeli pr manager... and since the days before gianluca vialli became their manager, this fella is the least stylish of them all... got beaten 2-0... padan muka!!! Bwahahahahahhaa...

Milan wasn't doing anywhere favourable lately in the league. another 1-1 draw, this time against parma... whatever lah

I just discovered that if i am to run out of duit makan, i can always go to the pi for bukak puasa. they serve free food... cmonlah, rm10k peruntukan, apart from food and more' (or more food) there's nothing else they can put the money to good use anyway, so why not feed the needy like me! WARGH!

say, just received my marks for costing test1. got a 90. and it seems that preparing 2 sets of answers do have a bad efx. she rejected the first answer script, and accepted the second. if accepted the former, i could've got a 100!!! WASTED!!!!!!!

i should stop. have to meet faza. sounds like an improvement isn't it? wish me luck... xP

All Hail Emoismness!!!

Lately i just realised that i might be in a wrong place.


its not that i dont know that i am ALREADY in hell's end all along, it is simply that i have experienced a "refresh" when it comes to this matter. just rushed out of class simply out of the blue, boredom i suppose coz the feeling of "outkastness" somehow got its way into my system. apart from ija and a "selected few", i happend to notice that ive been surrounded by weirdos all this while.

where on earth (apart from japan with its japanese school girls) can you see ppl so weirdly in love with their camera phones that it comes to an extent on which pix can be taken almost regularly every week in class! that my friend is utter weirdoism!!!

and to put other weird-scheirdo into scrutiny, i just realised that most ppl in my faculty are either boring, weird, numbskull, hyperactively weird, loud, incoherent, and show lack of concern towards studies, selfish and intolerant... not that i want to hammer them out of the blue, but this is reality that i happen to keep watch all this semester. now my class is legging behind in microeconomics, and my ambition of getting my arse sponsored to the uk is in jeopardy!

all this littlest things added to the fact that my class produced the least dean's list student last sem is a mighty punch to my academic conciousness' underbelly (is there such word?), i simply have to be more serious come the next few weeks.

i have to nail down this semester with a 4.0, not just to satisfy my dad's crave of wanting his son to get perfect score for bragging rights come the next festive season but my personal mission (i will ask faza out, confidently if i nailed a 4 flat) of continuing my studies to the uk shouldnt get an unnecessary blow.

heh, been emoing lots.

couldve continued longer, have to buy food for bukak puasa... and that leaves me with something i should mention... "happy" ramadan!

Yeah Baby!!!

I'm mighty happy right now. Just finished the gruelling obstacles of a student's life by nailing down 2 tests and feeling highly confident about both. Just finished from the dreadful public speaking presentation which i went through with, surprisingly, a breeze!
Praise to the God for bringing down all the points and unexpected fluidity from the heavens. havent been presenting like this before. first time anyways, and am feeling more than relieved (ok, im exagerrating(sp?) here, excuse me!)

Btw, just finished my costing test earlier before friday service. it was a breeze as well! but i shouldn't have sent two types of answers just to confirm i got the answer right and to kill time. i could get my marks deducted! but hell, all is done. am looking forward for next week. heh.

Been talking to my good man mail a few days back. nothing interesting in particular cept that faza smiled once at me the other day during imam's meeting :D
doesn't relate, so to make this post a lil bit relevant i have listed the five things that i should be achieving in my uitm life in random order :

1 - get good cgpa (hopefully not less than a 3.8)
2 - become popular (among chicks to be precise!)
3 - get faza
4 - get ayu
5 - get a decent house to rent (being an nr is cool)

right, so things are getting quite busy lately that i dont have time to spend out of the campus. call me budak baik lah...

And oh, am sick right now, as in fever-sick. for a minute there, its the first time this sem! WHOA LADS!

MERDEKA?

So merdeka was yesterday. And im still here in hellhole. decided not to return home after weighing all the costs and benefits. an economic student should learn how to think like an economist. you got it, been reading a microeconomics book from the library. kinda addictive when you put the costs-n-benefits way of thinking into practice on whatever things that require decisions. and that applies to why im here in the cc as well. i simply need em. i dont give a damn bout the cost.

Since merdeka takes up another extra day from the usual two day brake of the weekends, hundreds -or perhaps thousands- had packed em bags and returned to their homes for a supposedly unproductive holidays. the campus is quite. not many chicks can be seen. even when i opened the windows from my room i hardly see anyone walking along the popularly termed "chicks highway" or "the road where the couples meet". instead of having the usual eyefeasts of chicks walking, gathering, dating, etc in front of my college building, i see no one. so am feeling kinda wasted now. if its not for my parents being away for umrah, me too, could have been home rite now.

Was celebrating merdeka day at mail's place watching 300 and little miss sunshine dvds. lovely movies, worth the purchase. and oh, am reading "to kill a mocking bird" that i have been reading since the past month? just reached the halfway though. i know, im a slow reader.

When playing fm07 seems a lil passe', the new one will always get you hooked back. i simply cant wait for this season's football manager. we have pato in it this time! and milan had just won the uefa super cup. 3-1. the scoreline looked convincing. hopefully the season too... and definitely there wouldnt be any antonio puerta in the fm game this time around. that is simply unlucky.

Next week will be cruel. will start off the week with mgt test, costing test is on friday, public speaking presentation too. i still havent prepared. kinda lazy. i simply need a fresh breather. i need a girlfriend. i really do!

I will have linux as my os for my laptop. i will officially be cool by then. and i still dunno when "then" is.

If Devils Wear Prada, I'll Wear Adidas

Who said pak lah is the busiest person in malaysia!!??well, no one i guess and to support the notion, they should give the title to me instead!!! bwahahahahha.... fark off lah.

neways, last week was being dead busy, i simply need a fresh breather somewhere around this week, then again have another test to deal (mgt) with before getting my arse off back to kulim for the merdeka hols.

So last week i decided to become a lecturer. Being teaching costing to banking and dbs kids the whole week, sat for econs test and had countless meetings with imam for the religious youth camp thing. im supposed to get busier today, and tomorrow perhaps.

Faiq will give up his post tonight, revelation maybe?but we need him somehow, he knows all the technical shyte that i dont.and radin's.

Anyhow, to sound a lil bit intelligent, me and mail were discussing on the possible options of going abroad for our degree studies. he opted for the uk.i for an unknown reason chose the us. not until he mentioned trips to the maranello for a ferrari test drive to the san siro (imaginations, we still have it lots even during this late stage of teenagers), a trip to holland for its weeds and chicks and getting a job in france in eurodisney coz not many french speaks english so tourist industry wise, they need english speaking employees. heh, and definitely some footballing reasons (stadium tours and again, the pilgrimage to the san siro) had convinced me enough that uk should be my next stop. all again boils to the result of my next 5 sems in this hellhole.

Rite, this post shouldve been another little space filler, havent been doing one for a long time now. But hell, again my brain has overworked.
Cant wait for friday...


p/s : juz met sha, in fact his looking at this rite now. laterdays!

Don't Mind the Idiots

At one point in your life, you might look back at the time when you know that there are people who hate you -or simply jealous- i suppose?When they form a group for the ultimate gang bash towards you and one by one (and in a way, pretensious(sp?) and scripted) blurt out shyte from their foul breathed mouth and simply voicing out their discontent for something rather irrelevant or simply put, childish yet lacking in intelligence and creativity might just be one of the experience that you will rekindle with a sarky smile.

For a record, i had experienced one in the holy day of Friday.


So, what turned out to be a rather awkward all-of-a-sudden-they-make-a-class-meeting is simply put, like i mentioned earlier, a gang bash. What was discussed are listed below, together with my own comment on the issues :

Zaidan the wolf looking i-laugh-like-hyenas(sp?) opened up with the "we have problems to deal with, and one of the problem is the class rep, voice out your discontent" and immediately the anak mamak, with her mamak gene seemed closely in tact and the mamak engine fully charged at her mouth started "ok, aku bukan nak hentam ko atau apa, nak cakap baik2 yang cara ko jadi class rep tu aku tak suka, aku nak ko datang kat kami kutip duit macam paan buat dulu.kami tak nak pergi kat nko bayar duit". i should point out one thing, she was in a point of yelling (typical of anak mamak) instead of her saying nak cakap baik2. Baik my arse...

That, is the epitome of idiocracy. Pinnacle of immaturity and inconsideration. Why the fuck should i go to everyone in the class, 23 altogether, beggin for money, check for their names in the list, and keep their money?Assinine, i have other things to deal with. Your foul breathed mouth could've said that its normal, and masa you skolah dulu aku pun pegang banyak jawatan. I dont give a fuckin damn, even if you didnt even really had any posts of importance during your skolah time, but its me, my system is not programmed to change.My system is to make my job easier.Paan's style of going to everyone id consider rather idiotic myself.He had time.I dont.I dont give a fuckin damn. YOU ANAK MAMAK were the one who wanted me to be the class rep, now take the shyte you've made, this is the risk you should take, MAMAK!

Now, bedah... the fat ass with the face of the blackened moon and even worse -if its not, the worst- fashion fiasco is another one with immense immaturity and stupidity.She cant take simple jokes simply because she cant understand it, and instead thought it was an insult.Insult my ass... tak paham ropanya budak ni... So bukak buku mgt study lar bodoh!No wonder she repeated financial acc.Fuckhead.

And oh, about the RM4/month shyte supposedly for party thing, im not interested. So dont dream of milking my rm4 every month for irrelevant time, effort and money wasting activities. Im not part of you guys now (was i once before this?) and there is no reason for me to go to your predictably nonsense party. I have other more meaningful and definitely better parties to attend to -IMAM, ACELS- plus coexias, remember?

I probably wouldnt get so high and mighty if things weren't put into perspective for me. i swear, it is painfully ironical.But somehow i feel good.Then again if its not for the in depth lets-get-hold-of-this-thing, i shouldn't mind the idiots anyway.

Alor Setar is a Lousy Place

Right, so it has been a bloody loooong time since i last updated this blog. another of those blog-lull period to say the least, so long that i had to check the calendar to remind of what i did in the past how many days/weeks time. so in my defence, id say that im being terribly busy lately, ever since a month ago, doing things that i should've not volunteered doing plus things that i shouldn't be doing. so to put things and yourself, future zaid, in a clear state of mind, i'll put things neat and tidy. to hell with it, i'll go ragged from here, in random order :

1 - on a tuesday evening, some weeks ago, where i should be spending my evening studying and doing my revisions... or simply watching another dvds on my hostel bed, somehow the devil in me wants to get loose, so i prematurely decided to follow a male friend of mine, and his 3 female companions plus encik joha, who happened to extend his term here to 7 sems (he should be in part 3, but as i said earlier, to hell with it), rented a car and off to padang besar.

alright, being to padang besar with no particular concrete relevant reason - however you put it -with only rm50 in my wallet might sound like an adventure. and it was. on the road for 2 hours (to padang besar and back) and spent more than half of the already almost dried up wallet on something unnecessary (thai made eyeshades - RM10 + ac milan flag thing... not really a flag coz it doesn't stick to a pole but i count it as a flag nontheless - RM 22)

had lunch there, and then to kuala perlis to take pix and waste sumore time. got tired at the end of the day and hell yes, to hell all the books and assignments.

Lets start the trip with some real power drinks from real madrid!

Padang besar

They wear this at their ass. Ass enhancement undies i suppose.

Fuckin capap + the obedient happy smiley always think positive driver ady (no, he wasn't on drugs, i hope)

Kuala Perlis - izzati not included in pix

2 - Imam held a programme some saturday some few weeks ago. cant remember the fuckin name, nehow it involved some cooking and eating and chick gazing. since me myself am very smokey brained bout this, pix are here for the rescue!

Sniffin glue gang...

Stone age cooking method and utensils

Capap... this time on the greens... no, not the golf turf but tasik ilham n.n

...

So we hd this for lunch, it was quite a lot tho... telur carbon tasted allright, and this would be just another reason if i am to die early. apart from sniffin petrol at gas stations

Oh, and we met faza, the imam chick!

3 - I was elected as ajk imam. in the same biro with shahir sengal klate. faza too. Created the imam web forum in the process.

4 - Got myself busy with ass-cels, this time we'll be doing the bulletins (due date is 1st sept damnit!), i was the host for the public cpeking challenge last nite, had to redecorate the ass-cels board and participate my ass to the school project.

5 - Imam sports day was two days ago.

6 - I met pierre aubameyang. pierre who? oh silly, the one who scored the goals against ajax and arse-senile! the ac milan youth player...

Me + Pierre Aubameyang

Me + 2 other ac milan youth tem players. they speak english surprisingly. they're nigerian... no surprises

Me shamelessly with an arsenal youth plyer. he played in centre midfield. he used to play with thierry henry. not anymore... BWAHAHAHAHA

7- Saw this last week. supposedly some ice was formed up there and the circle thing was due to dust and such. some scientific thing that is too complex to explain. looked cool despite all the scientificness.

8 - Returned home on the last 2 weekends, by train... simply because i wanna watch the simpsons movie. worth it.

9 - And my parents will be going for umrah this sunday (19/08/07). safe trip.

Right, here is the recap of what i did a few weeks past. I should be doing my ctu assignment. due date is tomorrow. fuck!

am guessing that i have to pay double figures for the cc thing and courtesy of atikah's blog (copyright not included, courtesy only... if any) n*sync once said "BYE BYE BYE!"

Friday the 13th Was Yesterday

It has been 9 days since i left home. Nothing much changed cept that more fresh chicks can be seen everywhere.
Been to the cc 2 days before, and i saw hot chicks all over. It was heaven, but i was too busy doing other things, no time to get the low down... wasted.

Neway, my oh so called salah register last semester that i can shamelessly admit here has taken its toll. im not allowed to join the band and instead i have to choose other activities to occupy my supposedly after friday service nap time.
no, i am not allowed to even transfer my activity marks like i did last sem. i am not allowed to seat for the band paper for exams (which was terribly easy, and i assume it will always be that way) and i am not allowed to blow whatever instruments or bang whatever drums like i gladly did before. and i miss the mangkuks a lot. and all thanks to my friend's sis who wrongly registered me into the national kesatria 1.

So it left me with no other decent alternative, and relunctantly (and by mistake... a terrible one i hope not), i chose public speaking. And i was left with 12 other people who i guess didn't know what they are up to, oh wait... make it 10, coz the other 2 looks like they intended to get their arse fucked with this. The teach has a motor in her mouth that makes it impossible not to hear her voice every minute.

Im screwed. Help.


About lecture classes i have a weirdo with an even weirder moustache teaching me management. pm abdullah is like weird and dangerous. i wont live in peace in his class. nobody will. My costing teach will definitely give more works and assignments in the future. she gave us a quiz in her first lecture class and next week will be no different. remember damnit, it'll be on monday.
my english lecturers, again 2 of them but not from last sem are being the usual bunch that dont excite me. oh wait, apart from english, the male teach teaches spanish as well!!! so he excites me.

Hola muchachas. como se llama? yo soy zaid la gordo.

kill me. kill me don't. please.


My microeconomics lecturer on the other hand is the only decent one ive seen so far. he's like the common 50-somethings that i can easily relate to my dad and his friends. he's good. am starting to love him. oh, that left me with my ctu ustazah whom im still yet to meet.

I have discovered the meaning of "rep" in "class rep". its a short form for representative. and i am a class rep. fuck it.

I guess ive summed up everything about class... should get my arse out of here, been here for more than an hour... i'll have to beg for money if i stay here much longer. no more free food in the dining hall. we have debit cards instead with rm40 allocated to every student for the first 15 days of the month.i have rm5 for another 2 days.



Am soooo looking forward to the simpsons movie...

Why So Soon???Whyyyy!!!???

Somehow, in some point in your life, you will wonder why things move pretty quickly. It is as if like the tsunami, or like the penalty thriller in a football final where the last person to take the kick can determine the winner if he nets in his penalty kick. And when the ball swiftly gets into the net, all hell breaks loose. In a sudden the player who nets the winning goal and his team go ecstatic and the losing side gets a psychological low blow. All in a sudden. After all the efforts being put from the qualifying stage all the way to the final, with that sudden blow, all things move pretty quickly.

I feel as if im in the losing side.

I have approxiamtely 7 hours left before i have to pack my things up into the car and say goodbye to my comfy home and be on my way to hellhole. All things that i had planned before the holidays i can sum up as, failure. Or simply non existent during my holidays. I was thinking of picking up french or japanese through the internet. Ok, it started well with the japanese thing, but only for 3 days and then i was off to the ever addictive football manager 2007... and never to return.

So, apart from watching weeds and honey&clover, trip to kelantan and genting, digging through zero7 and rachael yamagata, and also getting my phone and lap top fixed, my holidays is considered wasted. I need more time... I NEED MORE HOLIDAYS!!! Why the holidays went so quickly!!!??? Whyyy!!!???

I'm so fucked up, and i shouldn't be languishing in self pity... i have to smile more.

Genting Highlands 07

A lot of things happened in the course of last week. I went to pacific (the mall) twice in a space of 4 days for bowling + the pirate movie, got my wallet rm150 lighter for my phone repair and the brits have a new pm whose name is brown. and never forget the brazilians got humbled against the unfancied mexicans in their copa america opener.


go argentina! hell yes!


So, along with the stuffs i just mentioned above, i went to genting highlands last week which was part of my dad's farewell trip. Yes, my dad was about to retire one week after the trip which wooheedoodeedoo, is today! More about him later.


Back to the cameron highlands thing, my parents and i as planned (and as expected) were on the road to kl to visit tot and moleh, or my sis and bro respectively. Been to their house and after spotchecking their fridge, feeling a bit outdated and curious i grabbed a "Mini Poppers". which taste good. So i grabbed another one. and seems that im starting to love the stuff. how long has it been in the market?



I need one now...


So, we picked up my sis (my bro had work) and dashed off to genting highlands early in the morning. very early in fact. imagine waking up at 5am. yes. THAT early.


and as expected, we arrived early.

wayyy too early...

earlier than some workers... oh look, one people on elevator!
ok now, the shop is open...

in case you might wonder what we were doing that morning, we were actually waiting for my dad's office mates + their family who happened to come an hour later after the shop in the picture up here opened. you got me, i hate waiting.

so here is tot + aboh's office gang. and if you look carefully, you can see my mom pointing at something in my direction. i wonder what she was pointing at.

mom + dad + untie ruby (in orange)

so we gathered there for like 10 minutes or so and up we went to the cable car!!! and if my memory serves me correctly, i havent been into one of those since the last time i came here, which was a decade ago perhaps?

from inside the cable car.

mom + untie ruby... so who is untie ruby anyway? the story so far; mom and untie ruby were officemates during their early days, until my mom decided to retire early.


i wonder what happens if i swing the gondola xD

after a few minutes in the cable car we then arrived at the peak.

whoaaa

ok now, i let the pictures do the talking, kinda lazy to think.



dad and his cable car...
i have mine as well xP

our stay in genting highlands. and it is called the "first world hotel".

so we arrived there around 11am and after checking in at the hotel, its time to play. oh, before we get to play, we have to get our wrists tagged.



an unnecessary reminder, i know. im old.

playland.

ok, i like this pix a lot. if i am to remember anything about genting highlands, apart from the casino, this is definitely one of em.




sigur ros - olsen olsen

...
the bear band!w00t!!!



welcome to malaysia, we have ghosts for you to visit.

i had been waiting long for this...

before the first 3d show.

this pix is cool, i must definitely get one for myself.

... and so i did.

Right, not much talking. The last 2 pix was taken from the last day. it was a 2-day stay at genting.

2 days... kinda remind me of the kelantan trip...

edit : published at 24/06/07. repulished today. and my dad is now a retiree...
