well. away. has it been two years already? damn. well since the last post, many things have happened: i got stuck, repeated, ohyeah i went to bangkok before that, then many other tourneys. even handled one. then the parties came. god was peer pressure great. grass was abundant, ditto for al co hol. i 'changed'. well folks, barack obama took it from me and put a positive spin to it.
then i worked. worked, saved, went really thrifty and stingy but hey its the way to go. i got an ejucation to go through, still. hehe. met more people, got lucky (won more tix and free stuff la, you fickle-minded person!) and freelancing for some important people.
fastforward to now. what happened to moi? well, i just went ayee. care to explain? soon enough. but the developments in the last two years really got my head spinning.
we had this 'atmosphere'. calm, coolness, relative peace and quiet. then i discovered a documentary. sepuluh tahun sebelum merdeka by fahmi redza, a local struggling filmmaker. tells of the story of the struggle of the people: labour unions, women's groups, small sociopolitical organizations that were sick of our occupiers, after the Japanese left. the picture painted as if the people who claims responsibility (they still do) for our great, 'peaceful, bloodless' independence are the good guys, but forthwith i understood otherwise. for the occupiers want to keep their interests here in our great country safe from being shared and enjoyed by all, so they played the race card (cliched i know) with the hereditary kings put on the forefront and the people proclaiming a certain race's supremacy to hold massive media and propaganda power. until the independence proper, the united, large front of the people were defeated by the occupiers and their buttkissing racist party puppets.
given heroes' welcomes, the newly-formed coalition bonded into a powersharing agreement, the only coalition in the world who heads into any democratic process bound by a 'social contract', which by now the definition is so played up and politicised it is just a quagmire of things: a compromise, for the majority race to be respected and given affirmative action over the other peoples brought into this country after this race. or, it could be the rights of the 'indigineous', enshrined in the constitution. or, the agreement whereby the parties of this coalition would share power and give concessions based on the demographics of this great nation.
whatever it is, this documentary has opened up many a possibility for me. and thoughts, ideas, conspiracy theories brewing in my noggin like never before. after a few trips to Central Market, the Malaysian Bar Council, and internet for research, i came to the conclusion that we have escaped the knowledge, the history that makes us and shapes us into who we are, what this country has become. and the entire of malaysia now sit on the sidelines, looking at all the people in the brouhaha which is the malaysian political crisis. yes, ladies and gentlemen, it is a crisis. we have taken the political system for granted. we have said 'we are not ready' to everything: to english in science and maths, to meritocracy, to race quotas, to desubsidizing proton, to rural development (oh yes we havent, KL-ites), to equality, to respect for the law, respect for the real powerholders in a democratic society, to morality, to change.
the police are left with lots of crime, as a result of this economic hardship people start to rob others. yet they are still bickering. i dont care who is right or wrong, educate us, appreciate us, give us the chance to live and earn a living, to learn to live in harmony despite our differences, to love the peoples of this great nation, to become malaysian.
the small, annoying stuff gets politicised, every day we see one guy going 'dont play the race card', we see people making excuses, people standing tall, smiling even, in court waiting to be charged for corruption. we see people desperately trying to grab power and to hold on to it, we see people shamelessly having a go at others' personality, qualifications; ridiculing their input while copycatting their brilliant ideas, then going all 'hey i came up with that' all over the frontpage.
i am sick and tired of all this. frogs, rape, corruption. when will it all end? i'll tell you when. have you noticed all the programs, projects and works have rarely benefited the people? have you noticed money is spent on mindless kenduris and vote-me campaigns and little else? have you seen the twists and watering-down of policies originally formulated for, my God finally, the good of the nation?
we have to think, investigate, participate. think of what's best for us, all of us, all malaysians. investigate ways of solving current, backdated troubles. investigate the true nature of malaysian politics and the inner core of political intelligentsia. who are they working for? who do they answer to? investigate what they stand for, what are their principles? any values worth noting? any particular line they take great pains to fight for? or just the same ol mindless powerlusting? then finally participate in the process. power and respect should be earned and we have to give them power if we respect them. some people think it is pointless to participate as the system is not accommodating. well tough, unless you can find a way to make the politicians turn their backs on power, you go up on the podium then! it is time for the people to determine their fate. who says true-blue independents are worthless? give it a go, be honest, god willing, victory will be yours.
in the world over, people in their own political parties dont always agree with each other. each and every personality have their own beliefs; their own stand on stuff that matters. corruption may still be there, but some people actually have principles and steely resolve to support what they believe in, that can also mean they have no tolerance for corruption whatsoever. malaysia? you know the answer.
it may be a long way away from the next democratic process. but i urge you to soak up on knowledge, history from all angles and viewpoints, so you can make learned decisions. who can make our democracy mature? only you can. who can make our nation ready for all the things we are not ready before? only you can. who can actually make our country work? yes, only we can.
believe in our great country.

life in the fast(ing) lane...
life in university, compared with school, is, well, fascinating at best and frustrating at worst. you live on your own, eat, drink, sleep, and most importantly, STUDY and DO ASSIGNMENTS on your own.
you have your friends, classmates and buddies, but hey, you gotta be indie to survive. why the heck am i saying this? cuz i'm feeling the heat man. last minute work, sleep at 4 the night before a test, and exhaustion are just some of the cruder points of life here. some may just breeze it, tend to be more relaxed, but somehow my brain an't digest that fact. come on, man! have FUN! peer pressure! lets do this, lets watch that. being away from control is ironically not good. my previous life in a boarding school is testimony enough.
the matter of the fact is, although life has become much more relaxed, the same cant be said for me. sure, i've gon e to ANOTHER concert (gwen stefani!!!!!!!!!!!!), i had to skip two afternoon classes, and i felt as if missing two important episodes of "Pre law 101".
Haih. Unexplainable. Weird, my life is now. Currently, the faasting month is providing me with the opportunity to get my life back on track whilst keeping my frame in check, :-). and every morning i feel as if i'm on speedball. tres chic! fortunately my classmates jumped on the bandwagon and joined in on the endless stream of liberal unprotected fun. you know what i'm sayin'?
lets hope that this semester will NOT be a preview of bigger things to come. like anastacia sang, "im sick and tired of always being sick and tired."
bloggos, peace out. Salam alaikum.
p.s. my premiere post apres 5 months AWOL. pergh.

- week-long journal... in MANJUNG -
monday 12 feb
oiyooo... tired gile, tido kul 5, updatin my mp3 players with, you guessed it, The Donnas, n then tido sikit jam lagi... 6.45 aku bangun balik, mandi got my bags in the car, and we were on the highway to MANJUNG. that didn't sound rite, did it? haih. well, will it be another boring week- long vacance just like last year (where the only time i went out was to the dentist, makan2 tak kira la) or- else? we'll see...
i made up for the hutang tido by sleepin in pa's bureau... die call aku 5 kali suroh bukak pintu.. aku ni tido mati, biasela... even missed lunch, if you believe me lah. then at 6, scrambled home, and along the way, marked improvements are all over my eyes: roads upgraded, schools built (bukan takde skolah, but more new schools le) and... well, lets just say that much-needed progress is being done. and i was kinda impressed with it all. after all, this WAS my hometown for 10 years....
pasar malam was an all-week affair, monday at KDSK, tuesday at sitiawan, wednesday at someplace... you get the picture... KDSK changed, a bit, got my old standby: nasi kerabu with solok lado... hehehe... lotsa beef, lotsa budu n sambal, pegh... (kekadang kalau bulan pose tu rase menggatal nak bukak kat situ jugak) from the only kelantan stall... then met wif alif sabri, d old joker in 5 dyna, the class next to mine... i thought i'll meet em there, pasal die memang dok dekat2 situ pon... cakap2 kejap, pastu aku pon belah ngan sate and the nasi kerabu.....
tuesday 13 feb
i feel kinda weird, wakin up at 6.45, AND waking up my pa... its usually the other way round... i dunno, or is the mosquitoes being kind to me? or they just wanna give me a 1-day headstart? hey, this is the town where my senior at school, who is now a doc (temping at manung hospital) said: the place with THE most cases of dengue in perak... AND belakang my taman got paya bakau.. AND kolam udang... AND a new taman... the mosquito population was waiting to get their suckers into my feet, i tell you, cos by lunchtime my leg is full with dead mosquitoes and blood they got from ME that i wanted back....
bought nasi lemak for brekkie (and lunch) at d van pakcik depan kedai celcom (orang desa bayu n taman samudra taula)... pukka, mate! sedap gile... makan macam org tak jumpa nasik setaun...
gilalah, kalau hari2 cenggini, aku tak kisah duk manjung setaun pon... tapi.... hehe....
d house was spick and span by the time pa got home.. (surprising cos aku dah lame tak buat mende2 pembersihan nih) n i arranged the dentist appointment at 4 the next day.. indahwater's coming at approximately 10... ala, kaco la deme ni... takpe2, aku sabo n waited for wednesday to come...
and then at about 3 (morning aaa) before i got my head down into my pillow, i said to myself : "mc d dekat... nak jumpe member2 aku bile?" then i smsed the dudes and dudettes : afi, fiza, liyana, nini, and o course, alif.... cheih, cam takde keje kan, but i DID say i was gonna buy, so i expected them to be there at lunchtime... then, with happy thoughts, i went to bed... krohhh...
wednesday 14 feb (valentine's? naah. not for me. aku bukan mat bunga)
okay. i gotta plan set up: do all the things im supposed to and get them done by noon... not bad, i actually did... lepas makan nasik lemak pagi, indahwater pon datang... lepas die abis tue, die kate 'adik, dah habis, adik pegila tengok,' gile ape orang ni? aku baru je lepas makan. muntah kang. "takpela pakcik," i retorted politely... 'la, sendiri punye... takkan takut?' ya Rabbi ya Rasul, orang ni nak kene ni.... "lagipun saya baru lepas makan," 'oh gitu,' and the old git shut up... macam nak tendang je... haih... well, they did their job and went away... i got a free morning, so called d dentist to reschedule... the dialogue went:
phone: ring ring
dentist office: hello, klinik maheran.
me: ye, saye ade buat appointment pukul 4 hari ni. azahari.
akak: oh ye. panel UiTM kan?
me: aha. boleh tak kalau saya bawak ke depan?
akak: ???
me: maknanya, boleh awalkan sikit?
akak: nak awal macamane lagi?
me: pukul dua boleh?
akak: boleh... datang pukul dua suku la.
me: ok... (pause, thinking)... jap...
akak: ???
me: err, boleh awalkan lagi tak?
akak: NAK AWAL MACAMANE LAGI?
me: err, pagi boleh?
akak: boleh. adik duduk mane?
me: saya desa bayu je.
akak: ohh... ingatkan manjung ke, mana ke.... oklah, adik datang pukul 10.
me: baik...
akak: confirm eh? takde tukar-tukar lagi?
me: ye..... nanti saya datang....
-end of conversation-
so at 9.15, i showered, dressed and brushed my teeth again... pastu naik beskal pegi dentist... bukan jauh sangat, setanak air je... as soon as i was there, i was in... i think i was d first customer/patient... abis pun kejap je, tak sampai 15 minit... tengokla gigi sape die check.... hihi... scaling and polish in 15 minutes... must be a record....
balik, tengok tv, rake daun keliling rumah (penat dowf) and showered again for the mc d thingy... nasib baik aku muntak duit kat pa... nanti abis aku... hehe... had a hard time pickin' out my clothes... pakai sesimple pun tanak, pakai complicated lagile... haih. pastu pegila mc d.. diorang belum sampai, so i ordered a cone... and horror! aku lupe bawak wallet? shit! so i got back on the bike, raced home amik wallet, and just in time to get the cone... minah kat mc d tu bleh kate: mane customer tadi? aku tengah wat cone ni tetibe die balik... aku dengar aku terus senyum, aku angkat tangan aku dedepan die... due2 malu... and then fiza arrived... bought her a cone, then others start fillin' in... yana+ninie, d unseparable 'twins' sans KB, ninie's balak... and a guy not really familiar with, then alif... almost all were there, afi said he'll come later, his shift at the hotel ends at 3... so we guys borak'd while the girls went to pick up KB, donno from where, probably from mrs sayang's house (thats another story folks).... then afi datang... alif was making all these faces and sounds... ala... biasela... afi ni.. ermm... okla... he's not like other guys, like me... hehe.... tapi afi was and still my bestfriend so i kicked alif hard on the shins... when the girls got back, i ordered drinks, we talked a lot cos nini and afi were there. KB wasn't much of a -talker (die macam separuh sedar je, hmm) and fiza wasn't her usual im-upbeat-and -hyper-and-you-cannot-do-nothing-about-it mode... thats weird... oh well...
then makan time! order memacam, nasib baik duit aku cukup untuk sume.... haih.... well, biasela, kawan2 lama tak jumpa lah katakan....talked some more, cracked jokes, some backfired; took pics... fiza was the only 1 with a canera, a pink cybershot, i think... but it was so definitely pink... n KB was showin off his NEW mobile (mana ko dapat anset SE tu KB? kaya nampak?)
afi was trying to annoy the twins to bits (they're not exactly twins, nanti tengok gambar sendiri, taula) cos we like to tease them alot. so we did alot in the catchin up department that day.... occupied our minds... oh well...
thursdsay 15 feb

(not a lot of rain recently huh?) and fixed the damned thang... nasib baik aku dapat mandi air panas!!! sejuk, ujan, walaupun sudeh pukul 10... hehe... watched the idiot box for the rest of the day, while sweeping room after room with half the enthusiasm ... ninie, i take back what i said... heroes wasn't crap... its kinda ok la... i thought its gonna be like corny ol smallville all over again... well, im wrong, nini... and i thank you fer that...
friday 16 feb (balik KL! oh....)
nothing much... bangun lambat (pukul 9), basuh kain, kemas barang loaded up the car, bungkus mangga, buang yang busuk, mandi, pegi makan kat wak!!! yes, dah lame tak makan kat wak... nasik lemak die first class, sambal first class, telur oso first class. after that, here i am, stuck in my pa's bureau again, updating this blog...

-jealousy gets the better of me-
what does two cute chih-tzus, two pretty *japanese girls and a nintendo wii have in common? aku pun tak tahu sebenarnya, (hehe) tapi they all were featured in my (mis)adventures today at mid valley. aidil (SDAR) yang ajak aku keluar tapi he feckin' didn't show up sebab ada issues wif his significant other (QC SSP) and i was so frustrated, i went in by myself!
but things really took a turn for the better, tho'. firstly i got to try out the wii (whee!) tennis, and i won a set! haha! next up, lovely *japanese girls posing cutely, bishou style depan camera aku... more than i can take! to top it off, menang hair coloriser (such a word) from the organisers, GATSBY... bile nak kaler rambut ni? hehe...
had fun, lovely ladies, cool games, modded cars... haih, what more can a guy possibly want? secret recipe's heavenly banana choc, of course! erp! kenyang... hehe... and i met up with cloud (me old roommate) at the gatsby thing, pastu pegi tengok pets, die nak beli ikan-ikanan (tak beli pon)... and then we went upstairs... and there were cute dogs!!! hehe! really cute lor.... wish we muslims can bela them, but hukum IS hukum... being a guy, surrounded by cutesy dogs, would be embarassing for some, but definitely NOT, if you believe it, for me... hah...
ya Allah, kuatkanlah kesabaranku, aku terlalu tempted to balik manjung! six years, never nampak batamg idung korang, except for afi... haih... i really miss u guys... cant be described wif words... well, you get some, you lose some...
well, goodbye for now... layan emo... sob...

-wild night out-
hey guys, long time no typin'! guess why? sibuk berjoli lah katakan! now, where did i went to last week? won two ticks to Samsons' concert, went with illya syahida and her bibik (donno her name tho') pastu terlupa nak bawak cam nak ambik gambar... cheh...
well, that was remedied by the fact that i was one of the recipients to an invite to AKON's gig at Ruums, KL! i couldn't believe my eyes when i saw the e-mail that said that i can go to the gig (wif a friend la)... biasela, kan skarang banyak spam? so, i didn't take it too seriously (i DID join the contest @ mtvasia.com) and waited...
and called illya... and told my friends, who were instantly and completely jealous, cuz i'm going and they're not! haha, sorry guys...
and monday came... i had plan, sorta like a chain-of-events thing going on in my overlarge brain, and macam-macam was happening there... (i even had this vision we are gonna be rushed by the police for not being 21...) but... tough... i called illya a dozen times to confirm, IM'ed her at work, and offered to be at wisma genting (her workplace) by six (the show starts at 8.30). she said yeah but i should come a li'l bit later cuz she got a land banking seminar going on til late... i said ok yeah i'll come by at seven and she said yeah cool and i could sembahyang maghrib as well... and at 3.30, the OFFICIAL INVITES came thru post! OhMyGod!!! aku menjerit cam orang gile, from the mailbox until i went upstairs... i came to her office, called and waited (at 6.30), she went to sembahyang asar, i melados kat luar... hehe... and after a walton's talk (ya don't wanna know...) we went like crazy kids on crack!
sampai je kat ruums, i said to myself, ya Allah! ramainye orang Q! bile lah boleh masuk ni!?!?!? but we went, to the back of the line, until we hit the parking area... in the basement... about 600 metres from the elevator, which was 50 metres from the entrance... whew... while waiting we melados some more (lucky just bought marl 14) and... talked... yeah, and dengar mp3.. she was like.. next..next...next...
but luckily there were songs that she listened to...
and finally, at about 9.45, amid great ketakpuashatian from the revellers (lama gile Q beb!) we got in! and illya was screaming like what... she just when crazy, man! and when 'lonely' came in, she was UNSTOPPABLE! lucky i suruh die ambik gambar akon and took a movie too :-)...
we had a shirley temple (share2 la... mahal beb) and took tons of pics... can't believe we were there... cilok menu... haha, macam budak-budak pulak... but i left it all inside the taxi we boarded to get home (no trains after 11.30, duh!!!)...
by the way, there were two black dudes we met outside the club before we boarded the taxi, and illya started to make small talk with them... they exchanged mobile nums and she told me one guy hit on her asking for tak senonoh things... see? thats what you get for talking to strangers!!! haha...
alamak, ngantuk la pulak... well, until next time...
and i sampai rumah nak dekat kul 1 wooo... fu**ing trains!!!
going melados now... bye...
