Slap Me Thrice and Hand Me To Me Mother!

Assalamualaikum everybody!!

Since my physics lecturer ain't around, the lab assistant let us leave early.  So I thought I ought to rant a bit on my "canvas" here.  Yes I am in UTM already.  The 2nd semester started on Monday.  So to keep my promises and reputation I gotta go back. But still, this didn't stop me from catching the game on Monday night!  Harimau Muda against the Indonesian football team.  

We got into the finals and won after a 1-1 draw and won 4-3 on penalties.  The atmosphere of watching the game at my block can beat the atmosphere at the stadium itself I think.  Especially when Asra scored the goal and when Khairul Fahmi Che. Mat a.k.a Apek saved one of the penalties.

Congratulations to the U-23 Harimau Muda team and to Ong Kim Swee for the the country's 2nd Gold medal in football for the SEA games.  Tonight is the Olympic qualifying match against Syria.  The thing is, We will be watching the Harimau Muda team instead of the senior Harimau Malaya team.  Who knows?  Maybe they can do a better job.  Well, they'll do a good job and win I'm sure.  Good luck to them.

Hmmm..I'm hoping for great things to come on this 2nd semester in UTM.  Higher grades, more friends, more activities to keep me busy.

You know that nagging feeling you have?  And that stupid little voice you have in your head saying that you can't do it?  Yeah, that's been happening a lot to me lately.  Been trying to get it out of my head and out of my system.  Wish me luck.

The Circle Is Complete

Assalamualaikum, everybody!!

Imagine living a life that you think you don't deserve.  You feel that, the life that you're living right now is not rightfully yours.  Not to say that you're ungrateful.  You're still grateful but it feels so surreal that you actually have the life that you're now living.  True.  Life could knock you down hard.  Got bad grades for school..  Lost a loved one in the family..  Losing the love of your life....  All of that can surely bring you down.  All of that surely have happened to someone.  Sometimes I just wanna lie down and watch things past by.

This seems about right

It's hard to face all those.  About that I ain't lying.  The beauty of those things happening to us is that it can make you realize that you actually have a group of people that care about you.  But for how long?  And how much?  Yeah it's refreshing to have your best friend choose someone over you.  But hey, being the guy that I am, I guess I gotta respect that right?

I can't seem to ask for more though.  Loving family, a future, friends..But there's something missing.  But maybe this isn't the right place.  Maybe to think about this ain't the right time either.  But a  guy can hope.  What needed to be done is finally done.  Maybe it's time to spread my wings.

I'm a phoenix rising from the ashes

Of old dreams 

That were barely easy to forget

I'm hopelessly hopeful

Not to be hopeless enough

While flying across the horizon

Towards the sunset

From afar my feathers are bright 

Fiery red to all

Emitting fear to the heart of my foes

Yet the icy cool sky

Grips my heart as I soar

Tears are shed but no one knows

I will rise

Watch me

As I fly..

Fly high

And RISE

Assalamualaikum, everybody!!

I always thought I wasn't good enough.  So I tried harder than I usually do.  In everything I do.  I screwed my chances last year for SPM.  So THAT was a bust.  On the bright side, I got a place here............

Alhamdulillah.  Got a place to further my studies

I'm in the International campus in KL mind you.

So, I vowed to my parents and especially myself that I'll study hard.  And that I'll make my whole family proud.  I kept that promise.  Still doing so Insya-Allah.  Even being the shy guy that I already am, I mustered every ounce of confidence to go up to the lecturers and ask, ask my friends to teach me on certain subjects.  It wasn't easy though honestly.  Getting 0 for some quizzes, always trying to balance between studying and playing sports and all that but hey, everybody goes though it right?  I pushed...........

And pushed......

And pushed.......

This was literally and graphically how I felt after every paper O_o

In the end?  Alhamdulillah.  Those long nights and series of unfortunate events finally paid off.  I got 3.54 for my 1st semester in college.  All I can say is that I am SO SO SO grateful for Him to give this to me.  And very grateful to my family and those who supported me and helped me.  Right now, the only thing to do is to maintain it.  That might be a bit challenging cos I got the tennis team to worry about. And not to mention the assignments and projects the lecturers give us.  Even if you put Mount Olympus on top of Mount Othrys and on top of Mount Tartarus, those stinkin' pile of college work will still be higher and bigger (Ok..Maybe that's just me but you get the idea right?)

Main point, grateful for the result and I'll try harder to get a higher GPA and CGPA.  Going back to UTM this Sunday.  2nd Sem?  Please be nice to me? O.o

I Think I Need A Hug

Assalamualaikum, y'all!

It's been a while since I last updated my "canvas" here.  So I thought I should just update it.  I've been a bit tired of all this drama in my head and life.  I wish I could put a mattress in the ocean and just lie there.  Not a worry or care in the world.  Not even worried about the hungry sharks swimming around my mattress.  Just lie down and close my eyes.  If anybody needs me I'd be half way to Istanbul since I'm going there alone.  Or maybe Greece to see the Pantheon.  I don't know.  

*takes some ice from the freezer and puts them on my face*

Sorry about that.  I was just blowing off some steam.  Not fully gone though but released a bit nonetheless.

Anyway, had a good time with some old friends of mine yesterday (Monday)  We just hung out at Midvalley.  It was like a breath of fresh air to be out of the house.  Especially when I get to meet some of my old friends.  I've been out of MRSM KK for about 3 years now.  It's not that long I guess but still.  And we're still contacting each other.  Sort of.  But first, I went to MPH.  It was sort of the meet-up point.  And then I saw this...........................

Why am I NOT surprised...

Hahaha!! It's understood if there were one or two.  But this was a whole bunch of it.  If it wasn't for the people in the store, I would literally roll on the floor laughing like a senile little kid...

XD

 Anywho, we had so much to talk about and catching up to do, I didn't get to take a lot of pictures......

Randomly taken O.o

If you guys noticed, I wasn't in any of them.  What can I say?  I ain't that photogenic.

T____T

At the end of the day?  We had a good time.  Laughed.  We told stories.  Really hope we could do it again.  But maybe this time more friends.  So more laughs.  More stories.  More...PSYCHOOOO!!!

Hell yeah!! Haha!

Well.  Things come and go.  People come and go.  But The Almighty is forever.  So....I BELIEVE He's there for His servants.  All I can say is that, for love to come knocking on my door again, that's all His power.  And as for me?  I don't really know honestly.  He has His own plans.  For each and everyone of us.  I'm not desperate or anything.  But it's ok to have a special someone right?

Well, gonna try to get some sleep.  IF POSSIBLE.....

Fight...For..Your..Freedom!!

Assalamualaikum, everyone!!

Well a little rant in the morning on my " board" here.  Yesterday I saw this movie on its premiere day....

I finally got to see it.  Greek mythology and war are 2 elements to a good movie that has fighting.  To me that is.  This story has Luke Evans as Theseus, a peasant turn warrior.  Evans was in The Clash of the Titans as the sun god Apollo but that was just a minor role.  He starred as the main character and he was pretty good in this one.  Mickey Rourke was the main bad guy/antagonist as King Hyperion.  He seeks the Enpirius Bow, a magical bow where an arrow appears when you pull the..."string" of the bow.  Hehe.  All in all  it was a great movie.  I think it would be better in 3-D though.  The fight scenes were epic.  Since the movie from the directors (or producers) of the movie 300, that's not really a surprise.

Anyway, I've been falling and getting up, falling and getting up.  It's driving me down a cliff.  I'm effing sick and tired of feeling like this.  Why can't a minotaur come to me and just put me out of my misery?  Can't I just roll down and fall asleep without any worries?  Just nothing to worry about and just music both punk rock and soft to ears.  Is that so hard? 

*Digs my grave and sets the shovel aside*

I'll jump in as soon as there is someone who can do me a big favour.  Maybe theses guys can.....

Yeah.  If only I was that lucky and find that too

Well.  I think I gtg.  Much to be done.  And more to be sorted out.

See you guys on the  flip side!!

It's Your Day!

Assalamualaikum, y'all.

He's not a person you can easily get rid of, you know.  Especially when he's your flesh and blood.  And most importantly when he's been there for you all your life.....He's the one...The only...

Along a.k.a The Nerd :-D

Haha!! Oh yeah!  Don't be fooled by the JB shirt.  That's a looooong story.  Trust me.  Hehe.  He's my eldest bro and he's 30 now.  But for me and my family, age is just a number.  It's how you spend your life that's important.  Right?

;-)

Here are some picts to kick things off....

Papa John's Pizza, the new family favourite

The cake for the b'day...BOY?? O.o

It was great even though we just celebrated at his house.  In about 15 minutes, the food was almost finished.  Haha!! We are such carnivores.  And to make things even better, Malaysia's football team won 2-1 against Thailand, one of the hardest teams to beat.  Congrats to the National Football Team.  Go Harimau Malaya!! (OK..That was random O.o)

Kaisan "suap" his Uncle Mizi

My turn!! XD

Bottom line...It was a great one.  Hope that Allah S.W.T will bless him always and give him a long and happy life.  AMIIIN.

That Hard Huh?

Assalamualaikum, everybody!!

Lately.  I've been getting a lot of "beef" from everybody.  I'm sorry that my words are always misinterpreted and that I'm not always clear.  So to everybody and specifically....

To whom it may concern (whoever that is, you know yourselves)....

T-R-Y
Oh baby we can fight like dogs we can fight like cats 
A dirty laundry needs a laundry man
Maybe the king and the queen should lay off the caffeine
Baby breathe before you react

Sometimes we do forget to behave
And we regret what we say
Cause words are weapons
If we don't choose 'em carefully
Ladies and gentlemen this is instrumental
If life's to be a bed of roses

I know i gave you everything you like
Because you still give me butterflies

If we just try try try
Just to be ni-ni-nice
Then the world would be a better place for you and I
If we just live our lives
Putting our differences aside
Oh that would be so beautiful to me

Are we just dangling in the middle of a galaxy
Well I'm stoked on gravity
To be stuck with you like flowers on the dew drops
Now let it in my direction
My direction is up when everybody's down
cause i don't mind being anybody's clown
I love a little lift cause I'm an optimistic
In an altruistic way

Cause basically this place is needing instruments of harmony
Spreading my philosophy of love and inspiration
Oh these words I speak I commit to like a crime
with a rhythm i deliver I'm giving them a picture
Of the reasons why

We should just try try try
Just to be ni-ni-nice
So the world could be a better place for you and I
If we just live our lives
Putting our differences aside
Oh that would be so beautiful to me

Well it wouldn't cost a penny but could save so many lonely lives
From teary eyes
If we just try try try
To open up a can of understanding open up your heart
I'm just planting seeds
Cause i believe

We could just try try try
Just to be ni-ni-nice
So the world would be a better place for you and I
If we just live our lives
Putting our differences aside
Oh that would be so beautiful to me

If we could try, just to be nice
That could be so beautiful to me
I believe,
Oh that could be so beautiful to me

(Kudos to Jason Mraz for the beautiful song)

Are You Ready...For Real Steel?!!

Assalamualaikum, everyone!!
Ok.  Monday was my first driving class.  It was ok I guess considering I didn't fall asleep.  Haha!  It was quite fun actually.  I couldn't stop laughing cos we all couldn't stop making crazy jokes.  And our instructors were insanely hilarious.  It was like they had too much caffeine in their system and too much water in their heads.  Haha!!

XD

I hope nothing like this will happen when I take the test though....



I think I will be banned from any driving school in the country.  Hell, I'll be banned from driving even.  Haha!!  But honestly, I can't wait to get my license.  I'm tired of walking long distance from one place to another.  Maybe I'll pass the test easily Insya-Allah :-)

Anywho....Movie review time........

*Drum roll*



FINALLY...I saw the movie at Time Square and GSC Maxx is ginormously huge.  As if ginormous doesn't show how big it is.

From left: Petey, Miz, Wafi

The movie was EPIC.  Set in 2020 where boxing is a sport controlled by man but fought with robots.  People want more blood and violence.  So human boxing fads, robot boxing surfaces.  Hugh Jackman stars in this movie as a robot boxing guy who just can't get the money he needs.  That is until his son, acted by Dakota Goyo,who is a robot boxing fan came along.  What happens next? That's all you guys' work.  Hehe..But it is a must movie for 2011.  It is LEGEN (wait for it) DARY.  Hell yeah, man!

Well.  I got work in the morning.  So I guess I gotta hit the sack now.

Paris To China To Colorado?

*Gets out my new leaf blower and blows all the dust away*


Assalamualaikum, everyone!!


Hey, there.  Sorry for the leaf blower..AGAIN..What can I say?  Been really pyscho in the head right now.  Almost the same thing everyday.  The very life sucked out of my hopeless and lifeless body.  That's the use of optimism.  I don't really have it in me sometimes but I like to believe so.  Anywho, a lot's been happening since my last post.  Truth be told, the day after that last post was my birthday which is the 18th of October.  Hehe..Movies..Laughs..Melaka..Books..And maybe some stories and roads that aren't meant to be explored..First thing's first.............

Yeah!! Bought and read in a week!! And it was exam week.  Damn!! Haha..Great storyline and plotting.  Another awesome book by an awesome writer, The Myth Master, Rick Riordan.  Percy's back in this one.  Though, he had a memory problem that made him forget everything except one thing.  Well, I think that's for me to know and all of you to find out ;-) Anyway, there's another sequel called "The Mark of Athena".


*Sound of people awing at the background*


That's right.  Truth be told, I was pretty darn pissed with the ending.  Made me pulled my hair...and drank a few cans cola...Ok, maybe I was over-reacting..MAYBE.  I can't wait for the third book to come out.  SOOOOO...I think I have an idea to all Percy Jackson (PJ) fans......

HAHAHA...Hell yeah, man!  But seriously, kudos to him for the awesome stories..

Had a great birthday on the 18th.  Went to see The 3 Musketeers with some friends of mine

We had to watch it on 3-D.  Somehow it was quite good.  Though, the build up was a bit boring.  Almost fell asleep.  ALMOST.  The fight scenes were good though.  Logan Lerman (Percy Jackson and The Lightning Thief) was the hero in the movie.  Orlando Bloom (The Lord Of The Rings, Pirates of The Caribbean) was a bad guy.  He wasn't really convincing though (Sorry to say)  But all in all a great movie to watch.  Just not..The Lord of The Rings great..hehe

Then for the weekend, my parents and I went to Melaka.  My ayah and his Putrajaya Urban Riders had a bike riding event in Melaka.  So my Ibu and I decided to tag along.  I'll let the picts do the talking......

Taming the tiger of our hotel XD

By this time, our stomachs were pissed at us.  Well...Maybe just me >_<

Random picture :-)

The royals of mine :-D

I finally get the chance to go here...

Before....

After *burrrp* 'scuse me O.o

I saw this movie a few days after the trip

The ending was insanely psychotically awesome...In a gruesome way..

It's getting late.  Trying to live for the next day have never been harder than this.  

For me, living for the next day is like trying to get out of quicksand.  The more you try the more you sink.

With that said, I think I wanna hit the sack...
