Some parts of the world (visual)

Ever sit down one day with tea and crackers and ponder on what's going on in some parts of the world out there? Well, ever wonder if some people somewhere else is able to enjoy such tranquility and good time that we're having? Ever wonder what is it like to live in such situation where crime and danger haunts us every single day?

Here's a clip that would make you grateful of what you're having right now.



I was disgusted on how people treat each other wherever this incident took place. I'm not a big fan of slicing people right in the public, or how uncivilized they are despite modernization that SHOULD nurture CIVILIZATION in their mindset. I don't know what the person had done, but I sure know that such brutal head-tapering isn't in my to do list if I'm angry of something. There are limits to everything. I'm pretty sure that my religion is the same as the Indonesians, but I do not recall any code that makes such act permissible. Funny how dangerous lust and revenge works eh? Of course, we are mere humans, and we're born with lust and revenge, but it is up to us on how we contain them. Something worth thinking about, i guess....

Rockbanging with Sogabe 先生

Mctyiere is getting somewhat less thrilling these days. Probably because everyone was busy minding their own business. Or, it just plain boring on Friday nights that I would prefer to go out somewhere else. Hurm, Japanese Hall should never be boring, i dont know, probably the new members aren't used to the 'Japanese Hall spirit" yet. There's less "spark" going on in the hall. We used to have sp much fun despite how boring the environment is. At least to me. Let's just give it some time yeah? :-(
もういいか?

So, last Thursdays, we had 曽我部先生 as our Japanese Guess. She's a really chill person despite how serious she could be in class sometimes. 新しい車が買ったそうです. In a nutshell, rockband came into conversation right after dinner, which somehow thrilled our beloved 曽我部先生. So, we kinda lured her into joining us rockbanging after dinner. In a snap, Harrison-san already made his way upstairs to set up the tools. And we had 曽我部先生 as the drummer. It was so much fun to have her around with the us that particular night. Upon finishing, she would give us the look the same look that she used to do in class after kanji quiz, uttering "あ、おもしろい", plain feelingless. Haha. Typical 曽我部先生, but hey, we still love her!

So, i guess here's the update till now. Of course, I will keep writing on interesting stuffs soon :p

New faces in Mctyiere :p

It's a ground breaking dinner we're having tonight, with exceptions that, we're having new faces in the Japanese Hall. Well, new year, new Fall, new members and of course, I'm anticipating new environment! :p

So, I took the motorcycle test (permit) last 2 weeks or so, just to find out that I failed, shockingly, not once, but rather twice. So last Friday, I went ahead and took my chances, again, and Alhamdullilah, I've passed, FINALLY! Hehe, suki suki. Looking forward to purchase a bike really really soon. Maybe a Yamaha or Ducati. Or maybe a Honda CBR. Should i get 2 bikes, eg: a FZ6 and a R6. Sell off the R6 and keep the FZ6 for work commute? Hm... Sounds like a plan, but I need at least 10k USD just to be able to do so, and i mean, AT LEAST! ARGHH, It's ok's alright, money is everywhere. Business man business, or rather, purchase stock markets! Hehe

Credit to Hilmi and Azrin for their kinds effort, teaching me a few stuffs on stock markets. I've finally a registered user of sharetrade and Etrade. Getting ready for some real stock market business! Sounds fun, argh, can't wait. Hopefully, I'll learn a lot of stuffs from this, maybe to the extend of making a living? Hihi

I remembered a quote "9/10 of the rezeki (earnings) comes from trading". Heck yeah, I think so too. Rarely I see an engineer making millions by the age of 30, 0r even 40. I really really think that by doing business, we've automatically place ourselves in a fun-gambling type environment, and simultaneously, breaking the barrier of our source of income! Insyaalah, I will be a great businessman one day,
ONE DAY! がんばります!

Today

It's been almost a week now that I'm here in Vanderbilt after a not-so-long home trip. Unfortunately today, our car broke down, again.. Haha. Apparently the air-conditioner was left on while the engine is ignited, which probably the main reason the alternator broke. Insufficient lub is another supporting factor. I think.... It's alright, I'm glad that we managed to pull back into the parking space, (50% of the car) before it actually broke down. Somehow my language sucks this week, probably I haven't been speaking English for quite a while during the summer. But, we'll fix that soon. Kih3

Now that I've manage to completely settle in my new room, I get to hang out with the rest of the gang today. Well, I still miss the previous Japanese Hall members, probably because I'm the only one left now. We have a set of new Japanese members now, making me a senpai. Hihi, a senpai with poor Japanese skills(日本語は上手じゃないです). We need to fix this one too, Syaf.. Hihi.. It's not 4.16am in the morning and I'm waiting my dad to get off work... Come home quickly pa, I've got stories to tell. :p

Spare time for some thoughts

It's been almost a month and a half now ever since I first arrived home from Vanderbilt. I was fishing this morning, when my mom called and asked if I would like to drop by at her workplace. They have a bit of a mini-convoy exhibition of big bikes over there. Of course, I can't resist such temptation. :p

So, there is one FZ1 that I laid my eyes on. It's sexy, and it's nasty. It's a little monster that according to the owner, could be tamed in a short amount of time. So, we had a little chit chat over the bike, he seemed a little surprised that I know Fazer quite well, at least that's what he said to me. Haha. So, that guy spent well 70,000 on that ride. Inside, I thought he must have a pretty darn well-paid job to be able to afford that thing as soon as I learned that it had been purchased here in Malaysia.

How I wished I could afford one of this. But something came out to my mind, I knew countless people who managed to secure PhD credentials, but most of them, live solely on constant paychecks, and everyday save a bit of money to spend on something nice every once in a while. There is nothing wrong to this regulation, but I think such method limits your potential in life. There are many opportunities that are waiting to be discovered out there, and they lie all over the world. If combined, there will be enough supply of things for everybody and there will be unlimited funds of cash waiting for you everyday. Owh, and I just love how uncertainties lead my life.

Another random subject of the day

Honestly, I don't care about the locals, whether you chinese, indian or malays as Malaysia should rise as 1 nationality. In order to reach exponential improvement, changes should be made, and a nation must fall to rise. The citizens must be freed from the subsidy-mentality. Some should fall so that others could rise, and the process is ongoing. Bottomline, there should be no uneven excuses. Period.

Random thoughts of the day.

Updates from Malaysia: random topics of the day

So, its been quite a while since I last showed up in words. Hihi. Really I don't have much to write about, like REALLY! So, today I decided that I need a little hair cut, of course fuzzy hair frustration came into mind when I had a little trip to the Monique Bay Beach a few days back, and try imagining the sweet, crisp beach breeze came into a synchronizing lullaby with my pretty darn long hair, haha.

OK! OK! Haircut! I used to have my haircut right by Tan Chong Eng, but today, my mom suggested her regular service, and so I did. Well, the shop isn't too shabby from the outside looks, but hey it's pretty comfy inside, owh and not to mention it's a saloon, not a haircut and shaving hut. I was introduced to the owner, a young Chinese lady, looking sweet in her dress. I thought she was really a successful owner, as I learned soon after that she has 7 workers, currently working for her. First thing that came to mind as I came in is that, this place is anything but unsuccessful. There, laid a white Benz just by the car lot, my inference is, this lady really is a money maker.

Ok, so I had a haircut over there, a little facial and cleansing, and the cost, isn't so bad at all. I would definitely come again. (^^)

So, talking about holiday eh? Time really flies my dear. It's been almost 3 weeks here in my hometown. I have this little plan of having a little reunion thinghy with a couple of my ex school buddies, was wondering how is Alex, Aeeron, and the rest of the gang doing. I would be heading to KL again sometime next week, and on initial plan of spending 2-3 days over there, of course meeting arif, marina, farah and bla bla bla.

Had a message the other day, from Prabu, well, he's already off to Melbourne, haha. It's been 2 years since I last met him after SPM and in a pretty darn good coincidence, we found out that we have the similiar holidays by 2 weeks, except that his is winter's and mine is summer's. Prabu's a humble guy, and he deserve to e recognized, we've been friends for almost 7 years now, plus minus a few days, haha.

So, we had some good time fishing and yum cha-ing. Owh, Did i mention that we met Hafiz, Pei Liang and Yong Jie too? It's funny that Yong Jie and I, we both study in the states, but we never bother to go visit each other, haha, I would definitely pay him a visit sometime soon, as soon as I'm done with my "well-planned" Europe trip. The question is just the matter of time though. And of course m.o.n.e.y. ^^

Speaking of money, I've been saving up to treat myself with a little surprise, jeng jeng jeng (SFX)... (-_-") probably a nice motorcycle, or an upgraded gaming desktop, please don't mind the name, I rarely play games on my computer. Except the Sims 3 of course. I'm a crackhead when it comes to simulation games. Haha

Hurm, I was wondering how much does it cost to get myself a Yamaha R6, or R1, but a Honda CBR is not a bad idea too, or a kawasaki Z1000 ninja. I just hate the insurance that comes along with it though, Urghhh, need to get myself a nice hot tea to cool down when it comes to machines, :p.

This is how they look like:


Yamaha R6, isn't she sexy? :p


Yamaha R1 Raven, pure beauty!


Honda 1000RR, menacing!


Kawasaki Z1000, melting!

So, let's just leave these things on fate, of course, I would still be craving everyday and night for these.

きたああああああ!!

It was as funny as crap at Nashville's Airport. The limit for luggage was 50 pounds, but both of my bags exceeded the very number, namely one being 83 pounds, and another being 63 pounds. I had to get myself a new bag, but it was rather anticipated for since the day before. So, we arrived at Newark Airport a few hours later, hurm, honestly I prefer LAX, this one looks really like a mess. Heck, it’s not like I’m gonna be here for more than a day, toleration took place.


~New York Airport~


~Arlanda Airport, Stockholm, Sweden~

Soon we boarded the Malaysian Airlines flight (MAS). We had to stop for a drop-off at Stockholm (Arlanda Airport) and for the couple of hours, at Amsterdam Airport for refueling. My Uncle was supposed to be with us, I mean piloting this MH 91 back to Kuala Lumpur. Unfortunately something came up, but hey, we managed to secure three great seats with ample space of leg room. Heck, it was fun. Owh, did I mention that the steward and stewardess are superb too? One of them steward by the name of Ridzuan is a miraculously friendly. I soon found out that he is the uncle of one of us Vanderbilt Students. So, we were being shown around the cabin, and of course, we did not miss the cabin crew rest place on the upper deck. Heck, I mean how often can you be here? Haha


Noel and me


Special Tour of the crew's resting place (Had to squeeze myself to be able to fit in)


Hanis looks menacing (-_-")


The cool stewardess


And the stewards too!


Stockholm snapshot, a glance of Arlanda


In the canteen, with the cool Abg. Ridzuan

We touched down sometime around 10.30 ish, minus taxiing to the aprons. Boy it was a good flight, i mean, despite MAS having so much trouble this days with the newly elected Idris Jala trying to turn around the economic plan, MAS still live its name with the best Cabin Crew airline. I mean heck, I couldn't ask for more :p

So we were welcomed by the thermal cameras on our way out, 3 of them in fact, in total. However it may be, we survived all that and made our way to the baggage claim area. To my horror, none of our bags were there, until Billy Jo (B.J) secured his, and everybody sighed in relief. Hehe. (This scene is made dramatic according to the guidelines by Warner Bros. Company)

With the baggages claimed, I strolled down the aisle to the airport exit. There, my parents and little Syasya and Imi were waiting, looking rather impatiently. I was greeted with a bouquet of flower and a box of chocolate with greeting card attached to it. Hey, it was a really warm welcome indeed. Thanks all! うれしかった! So, we hugged each other for a while and made it to the car.


The flower, the chocolate and the greet card! :p うれしい :p

That day, we had lunch at the local Thai restaurant. Being in the states for 2 years, I was almost clueless of how my taste buds might react to the food. There were fried soft shelled crabs, wonton, jumbo shrimps, fried sweet sour fish, Ranchai crabs and a lot of cold juices! Urgh, I love Malaysia's food. I think they should establish a foundation of the chefs around here. Haha

So, I'm now in Kemaman. Zurriya, Syera, Fawwaz are coming down sometime next week. Prabu is off to KL for his Taylor's reunion or something. Me? Staying home getting fat and fatter. So far, I had Hai Peng coffee and kaya buns, owh, not to mention mom's chi fan (Chicken rice), Li's fried dry noodle and Tong Juan's stuff crab. Yet in the lists are Patani's Red meat rice (Nasi daging merah), Teratak's wonton noodle, and Chinatown's Mata Kucing drink, Cherating's Fried Chicken rice, Kuantan's sizzling hot plate, KT's fried ice cream and much much much much more!


Li's fried dry noodle


Yummy!!


Stuff crabs!!! :p

I wish the people from Japanese Hall are here too. Probably one day in near future. I heard Makiko's coming down here to Malaysia, but i wasn't sure of the date. Haiz..

It's been a while since I was last here. There are a couple of noticeable changes here and there. Here are a couple of snapshots of our home.


A little white rack with rose ends


?? Some random clock attached to the main pillar. Rose ends


Our living room - with Syasya and Imi lost in the slumber


The humble computer and reading section


Living room, left wing


Kitchen to living room view


The chinese-retro style kitchen (The table is of the same design as Tong Juan's), I was to be blamed for the mess. Hihihi




Our new rabbits! Well, our Guby died a couple of months back. So, here's the replacement. I missed the big ol' fat Guby though :-(

Summer updates

Hye y'all.

It's been a while since I've been away, away for this very blog. Reason? More like excuses, hehe. But let's just skip that part, yeah?

So far summer is hanging by with boredom, with all days filled with nap, one after another, and another... Urgh... I'm actually looking forward to go back to Malaysia, to see my family. See how are they doin'. My sister's off to college finally and my brother was accepted into MRSM (Boarding school) a few months back. The two kids, well, let's just say I'm left with them now.

I wonder what would I be doing back home? Just chillin' all day in the room watching TV and getting fat? However it may be, i'm sure on keen on my little trip to Hai Peng and Ton Juan's stuff crabs! Yummy! Hurm, I have the least possible idea of what might be in store there other than stuffing myself all day. So, my mom wanted this Victoria Secret thing, and my dad, being an electronic-die-hard-fan like he is, decided to get a Cobra laser detector instead. Owh, Hafiz, begged me for the J-shirt, with "Looking for japanese girlfriends" imprinted on it.

I wonder if my friends in high school is like now? Everybody is busy busting their asses with college, etc etc... Everybody's busy while being so far away from each other. I kinda regretted for being so busy when i was high school with inventions and stuffs and not spending most of my time in class with you know, the rest of the people. But hey, that's a little history now.

Should I go back and do internships instead? Owh, or, i think I could do some stock market thinghy online too. That ought to be fun! Making some cash from far away sounds cool too! Alritey, let's do this jose!

Urgh,

Some updates during the summer

May 9th was the day that Mctyeire had to be evacuated for the summer. I didn't manage to sleep that day in particular, as it will be 3 more months before it will be open again. Truthfully, i do not really look forward for summer, as for one reason, namely I would be yearning to experience the days in Japanese Hall that I used to reside in during the semester.

Here's a couple of photos to commemorate:


Belem-chan and Cole-san


Max-kun, Andrea-chan and Belem-chan!


And our drummer who never fail to show up in his boxer (-_-")


さよなら、まきこさん


Not forgetting, Thuy!


For the good old time in Mctyeire ほんとにありがとうございますりえーさん! :p



Our last photo (さいごのしゃしん)

That morning, I was wide awake. Thought of knocking on Rie's door, but she's probably sleeping. Haha. Anyways, most of my stuffs are all packed. Thanks to Clay and Amy for their help the night before. I appreciate the help! So, it was finally 10 am, and I was kinda helping out Amir right across the hall and Rie with her stuffs. She's moving to Texas Tech soon, and the next appointed coordinator would be one of her acquaintance, hopefully as あかるい as her.

So Dale had to leave at around 12. It was kinda sad to send him off. We hugged and bid each other farewell, before he promised me that he would be around sometime soon for visiting. Owh, and Rie too. When? God knows. ahaha.. Soon after we're done with Rie's stuffs, Blaine came to pick me up for lunch. It's been a while since I last hang out together since the last Friday Night Friend dinner, and so we had Korea House for his treat this time. We kinda talked about Russell Peter's joke of racism and those kinda craps, and made quite a noise in the small, not too shabby restaurant. Boy, it was a good chat over lunch. After all, Blaine never failed to entertain me. :p

Subsequently, we headed to our place.....

Argh, sleepy, I'll update the blog later. ZZZZZ

Chicken a la Carte



This is how someone laughter bring me close to tears. Masyaalah, such a good video. In some part of the world, some people just never been so fortunate

A bit of sarcasm, by Usman Awang, whose words signify the truth

Melayu itu orang yang bijaksana
Nakalnya bersulam jenaka
Budi bahasanya tidak terkira
Kurang ajarnya tetap santun
Jika menipu pun masih bersopan
Bila mengampu bijak beralas tangan

Melayu itu berani jika bersalah
Kecut takut kerana benar
Janji simpan di perut
Selalu pecah di mulut
Biar mati adat
Jangan mati anak

Melayu di Tanah Semenanjung luas maknanya:
Jawa itu Melayu, Bugis itu Melayu
Banjar juga disebut Melayu,
Minangkabau memang Melayu,
Keturunan Acheh adalah Melayu,
Jakun dan Sakai asli Melayu,
Arab dan Pakistani, semua Melayu
Mamak dan Malbari serap ke Melayu
Malah mua'alaf bertakrif Melayu
(Setelah disunat anunya itu)

Dalam sejarahnya
Melayu itu pengembara lautan
Melorongkan jalur sejarah zaman
Begitu luas daerah sempadan
Sayangnya kini segala kehilangan

Melayu itu kaya falsafahnya
Kias kata bidal pusaka
Akar budi bersulamkan daya
Gedung akal laut bicara

Malangnya Melayu itu kuat bersorak
Terlalu ghairah pesta temasya
Sedangkan kampung telah tergadai
Sawah sejalur tinggal sejengkal
Tanah sebidang mudah terjual

Meski telah memiliki telaga
Tangan masih memegang tali
Sedang orang mencapai timba
Berbuahlah pisang tiga kali
Melayu itu masih bermimpi

Walaupun sudah mengenal universiti
Masih berdagang di rumah sendiri
Berkelahi cara Melayu
Menikam dengan pantun
Menyanggah dengan senyum
Marahnya dengan diam
Merendah bukan menyembah
Meninggi bukan melonjak

Watak Melayu menolak permusuhan
Setia dan sabar tiada sempadan
Tapi jika marah tak nampak telinga
Musuh dicari ke lubang cacing
Tak dapat tanduk telinga dijinjing
Maruah dan agama dihina jangan
Hebat amuknya tak kenal lawan

Berdamai cara Melayu indah sekali
Silaturrahim hati yang murni
Maaf diungkap senantiasa bersahut
Tangan diulur sentiasa bersambut
Luka pun tidak lagi berparut

Baiknya hati Melayu itu tak terbandingkan
Selaga yang ada sanggup diberikan
Sehingga tercipta sebuah kiasan:
"Dagang lalu nasi ditanakkan
Suami pulang lapar tak makan
Kera di hutan disusu-susukan
Anak di pangkuan mati kebuluran"

Bagaimanakah Melayu abad dua puluh satu
Masihkan tunduk tersipu-sipu ?
Jangan takut melanggar pantang
Jika pantang menghalang kemajuan;
Jangan segan menentang larangan
Jika yakin kepada kebenaran;
Jangan malu mengucapkan keyakinan
Jika percaya kepada keadilan

Jadilah bangsa yang bijaksana
Memegang tali memegang timba
Memiliki ekonomi mencipta budaya
Menjadi tuan di negara Merdeka

Usman Awang

Of rich and poor

Today seems to be the kick-off for another class, after a long spring semester, and not-so-long break. Maymester that is. I'm here, stuck in Nashville, yearning to do something, I hate to be stuck here during the holidays it's just so plain boring, with foreseeable daily activity, which includes, but not limited to, a long hibernation that leads to dizziness, stuffing everything and yearning for food and never-ending hunger, missing friends all day long, IMing, SKYPE-ing, waiting for Rie to come back, or waiting to spend some time with Clay, Uyen and whoever lives around Nashville.

Put that aside shall we, and let's think of what others do at this very moment of time, on the other part of the world. I remembered the last trip I went to L.A, It was my third time (三回) as far as my memory doesn't fail me. It was the last day of my winter break, that I was catching a flight back to Nashville, Danny and I were about to return the U-Haul truck back to where it belongs. It was a dull morning on 7th st. with people gushing here and there getting ready for daily concerns or jobs, whichever goes with them.

I was driving the jumbo truck, with Danny looking like a pimp on the co-pilot seat. We're about to enter the rather secluded U-Haul office, when a gang of Mexicans (illegal immigrants, i presumed), came running in our direction with signboard, crying out "Labour! Labour!". Now, i had never seen any of this scene in my life, which surprised me at first, when Danny giggled and explained that they're just immigrants trying to make some money for food to survive yet another day. I sighed, in relief. I remembered back in the days when I was in Malaysia, Danny called us from L.A whenever he had the chance to, talked about his work, etc etc, leaving me wondering what kind of city L.A is like. Initially, when somebody would mention L.A, I would thought of Hollywood, people cruising in Beemers, with convertibles parked in front of the mall, and things like that and not having a single thought of people begging for alms, not to mention homeless. Well, that's what I thought, thousand miles away, until I made my way here, and to witness the truth of life.

Bla bla bla. I remained in front of the office, for like quite a while, standing by quietly, with every bits of seconds, observing these people. There were probably like 20 people, no, more like 30 people clustering in a small gathering at the main gate. Some, with hair rather unkempt, ragged clothes, and tired eyes. I did not have any expectations that some people in L.A lead such life, since statistically California holds the largest growth in economy standing, compared to other states, with 10% of Fortune 500 companies residing at the very hub of L.A, allocating tremendous job opportunities to the 12% Americans, making it the eighth-largest economy in the world.

Screw the statistics, However it may be, this scene doesn't convey anything like it at all. Now do you know how it feels to be like them? It came to my attention that some people are just less fortunate. They came into this world in poverty, rarely able to eat breakfast every morning and still not complaining about the food they're having, while me, wasting food every single day and yet, full with complaints.



What does it feel to be them? Is it pleasant to live such live? Is it pleasant to live solely on the uncertainties of tomorrow? What does it feel not being able to eat when you're hungry but merely watching the passer-by with delicious hot dogs in their hands, stuffing their faces? What does it feel no to be able to eat cheese and know what they even taste like, not to mention to acknowledge the difference between mozzarella and cheddar? How does it feel to wear rugged, smelly clothes and least to say, in their life to ever heard of Converse, or Old Navy or ....... (name your brand) and regardless, still be able to joke around with their fellow friends waiting for uncertain work opportunity and smile every now and then? How does that feel to go to the beach side, and as you take stroll along the beach of L.A, found a little child begging for alms in the middle of the people sun-basking.



A bit eccentric if you ask me, but to my amazement, such thing does exist.

A bit of thing to ponder upon, of being poor material-wise and rich at heart. I'll leave the answer to you to decide. But one thing for sure, it won't hurt to change this sign right?




A bit of reminder to myself, to be grateful of what I'm having and stop becoming a complainer. I hope that one day, I could make a difference. Insyaalah, I could make these smile even more meaningful :P

僕の家族

I came into this world in an average-income family. My dad, works with Exxonmobil while my mom supports the family being a teacher(中学先生). I was raised and nurtured in an off-town environment, away from those daily city-hustle. I remember when I was a kid, I used to be very naughty kid, upsetting my parents and always causing them trouble, here and there.


Despite having such an ungrateful kid that I am, my parents never give up raising me with love and care. My mom (母)is the type of a woman who never fail to give me a hug when I encountered a downside in life, and always there to support my back when I'm on something. She's a brilliant practitioner for a person who gave up college for the sake of the family during the recession. Thanks mom for never giving up on me under any circumstances :p


My dad(父), is such a responsible man who always prioritize family at any cost. I remembered he took a day-off even though he's supposed to be assigned for an important meeting for the weekend merely to accompany to a competition that I was on. Apart from that, he taught me presentation techniques and reasoning skills on our 3-hours drive to KL. Alhamdullillah, things went smooth during my high school year that I manage to secure such a promising scholarship.

And not forgetting, my brothers and sisters(兄弟). By the time I graduate, promise that we would spend time at home, watching TV while reminiscing good ol' childhood time over tea!


From left, Sya, Sera, Imi and Syasya, one missing-in-action brother in Nashville! :p
左から、シャ、セラ、イミ、シャシャ、ぼくはいないです!:p

p/s: Syasya's face looks like Dunkin' Donuts now. Ahaha!
p・s:今はシャシャのかおがDUNKIN’DONUTみたいです。あはは!

Without your support, I wouldn't have had this




Or this...


Or this....





In this textbook


Or standing proud on this stage...





Pondering over these memories, I can't imagine what kind of future do I have without them? Needless to say about scholarship or education, would I even grow up being a human being? Would I be a stray kid just like those we see in certain countries? Thinking back, I'm so glad that my dad is not the king of a region, or the president of a company or a prime minister of a country, as I'm grateful enough to have such a parent who never fail to listen to me on any circumstances, or for worrying-sick if something happens to me. Truthfully, I want to be a great dad like you are, dad! And of course, one day, having a wife as superb as you mom!

いつもほんとうにありがとうございます
DEEPEST THANK YOU ALWAYS







THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING!
PAPA AND MAMA!

Anybody up for a challenge?

CLICK HERE TO PLAY!

I can't figure out the number for the madman mission, anybody interested to break my record? Hehe. And make sure to turn off the lights! WAHAHHAHAHAHAHA

why I don't eat pork



I came across this video a while back, and it turned out that worms/maggots did appear out of the pork, squiggling on top of it. As far the accuracy extend is invloved, I do not know, but no pork for me, that's for sure. Some says that they do exist in other meat, but I have not came across any of that on youtube so far. I wonder.... Also I don't know if they would be sterilized thoroughly if they are heat up during cooking process, but I sure don't want to try it. Hehe....

Any opinion, anyone?

Interesting speech by Ustaz Azhar Idrus ^^



Something interesting to share, I think...

And to anybody who doesn't understand this, it's about the permissibility for dog as home guard. Well, I guess that's what the dog's are for right?

To a certain Malaysian people, they are kind of skeptical about the permissibility of dogs at home. Probably not the Malaysians here, but the ones especially in Terengganu, or Kelantan area. I don't know about those living in KL or the area around it, but this is why I think dog exists for in the first place. There's no need to run away from them, unless, of course the stray dogs, you don't wanna get bitten for no reason, right? ^^

Wallahualam'

みんながんばって下さいね

Trouble is a friend



Strong words, deep meaning....

ときどき、じぶんで何もできない

Spring's almost over, そして、何かな?

Day by day passed like sand in sand clock. It appears too fast to the naked eyes can see. どしおかな?I can't wait to actually go back, to go back to where I belong, at least used to. I miss em' food by the stalls, reminds me how funny things are. Ahaha. Here's the thing, the food served by the roadside are 500% better than such fancy restaurant capable of producing. Why? I do not know, probably that's why they said don't just a book by it's cover? LOL. Billboards and book rating do not actually show the real sense of taste. For instance, if the majority proposes chicken breast is best part of dish, and if I say I like the wing side better, people's gonna be like "oh, come on man! Are you seriously eating that?" **Exaggerated, but you get the idea. ** Basically you try to be them stereotypes just so people look at you to certain level.

I guess it's ok sometimes, I could eat chicken breast too, with a condition, please please please steam it, as chicken rice. URGHHH. I've been craving for Chicken Rice so much that mere saying it could cause my eyes to widen, and obviously my mouth to start watering. **Blame the reflex**

Hurm, too much cholesterol consumption recently, I gotta work out to keep them even. Midwest game... Hurm , I guess I'm playing volley again, this time, and frankly I do not wish for a medal, but I just want to be in when the good game is on. Owh, some of my friends did ask me whether or not I should join their team for volleyball, but I guess this time, Vandy asked me first, so I should consider Vandy my first choice eh? I miss em' good ol' time when we were enjoyin' so much, and curse here and there till the situation kinda get tensed **I guess we should stop cursing this time**. Don't put the blame on me, I did not curse last time, it was a senior* that's responsible. It's OK, age doesn't matter to me, senior, sophomore,or junior, they are all humans. I do not believe seniority counts as a privilege, in any way. I guess I prefer equal chances, you know 50-50. Despite who you are and where you came from. Haha. LOL. But overall, they were good games, so let's stop talking about seniority. What's matter is that we're having fun right?




みんながんばってくださいね!! :p
