Optimism - Always Dwell On The Positives

Post mortem of bike accident

2011-03-23T16:00:00.003+08:00

It was a dreadful experience when a car hit me when turning out to the main road. I guess it was my mistake as I did not check my blindspot and signalling my left indicator earlier. Well, the major impact on the incident was that my bike thumped on my left foot and cause it to swollen! I don't mind my arms being badly bruised and some of my skin on my palm and fingers were peeled off, which adds to the injuries.

The worst impact due to the accident was that I can't walk properly unless with a stick. I became a grouchy 'old man' at age 28! haha. I can only hop because it was unbearably painful when I tried walking with my left foot. And going to the toilet was a dreadful experience because I had to hop from the sofa all the way there! Sometimes I almost slipped when I didn't hold onto the railings or any support. But in any adversity, with time there will always be a light through a dark tunnel. The accident taught me to be a better rider and that's a gem of a lesson indeed.

And the school which I was attached to during the December period accepted me back so it could be the accident turned out to be a blessing in disguise! :) Ok that's it for now. Until next time peeps. Cheers.

Blog semula....haha

2010-05-18T15:28:00.004+08:00

Waduh waduh waduh... sudah lama sey I x blog. wkwk. Banyak perkara sebenarnya nak cerita tapi I rasa tak perlu panjang2 sangat buat sekarang....nanti otak yang kene tarik panjang2!! haha. Khabarnya I dah dapat segulung ijazah dari Curtin University Technology. Di Perth sana. Hari convocationnya tak seberapa menarik kecuali persembahan bunga api. Hebat sekali...Buat sementara ni, I masih mencari kerja la...haiz bukan senang nak cari pekerjaan di bidang IT. Jikalau satu hari I mendapat kerja di industry ini...dah kegembiraan yang tak terhingga sey!! Confirm nyer. Tengok sekarang ramai sahabat2 yang umur sebaya ngan I ade kehidupan bak orang dewasa.... zaman sekarang dengan teknologi yang cukup canggih... kita tak usah tanya kepada kawan2 apakah mereka dah kahwin ker, dah ade anak ker dah perut buncit ker (bukan pasal gemuk...badan dua la tu hehe), dah ade rumah sendiri ker. Semua informasi boleh didapati di laman facebook 24 jam 7 hari...di mana2 jua. hehe.

Kerana bukan mudah untuk mendapat kerja terutama di bidang IT, I tertekad untuk mati2 mendapat kerja di IT. Sebab? Oleh seorang gadis!! lol...gadis sey. Confirm gadis nya. Siapa dier? Sibuk jer...I x boleh beritahu kerana dier ni privet orangnyer. Jadi x boleh bilang la.... Alah lagipun xde orang akan baca blog ni. I tulis ni pun pasal bahasa melayu i dah semakin merosot jadi nak kene mula menulis. Tulis dengan cakap lain....ade orang fasih cakap bahasa melayu, inggeris, arab, cina tapi kalo suruh tulis.... budak primary pun memang!! hahahaha alamak i ketawa diri sendiri! Siao... k la dari sini saja k Hafiz (tuju kepada saya sendiri)... insyaallah saya akan start semula blog.... satu sebab jer kerana hendak memperbaiki mutu menulis. Cheers!

Ok finally feelings...everything out!!

2009-08-22T01:38:00.000+08:00

Bleeaarrggghh!! I said I'll blog my next post soon and it's been 11 days since!!. Sorry Nina for the delay :( Ok here goes my post about my feeling situation!! Ehem ehem...hehe. Well I'm a straightforward person so I'm gonna go ALL OUT! To start it all, I had a crushed/infatuation/liking (watever u may call it) on N, who I considered as my 'sis'. (let's keep the name anonymous to prevent anymore conflict). We had known each other for more than 3 years but my feelings for her only started to develop somewhere in June last year (2008). For about a year, we kinda keep in contact almost every day. Most of the time, we'll be on the phone with her telling me stories about her problems and gaming frens. Me in return will be like her shoulder, to console her and advice her on what to do. Conflict do occur sometimes but once the problem's solved our relationship kinda got betta. :)

Ok to cut it short, she met this guy recently about a month ago. That time, I was in Sg. Of cuz I was JEALOUS! Who wouldn't rite especially when she told me him being touchy here and there (im not gonna described that here...U DO THE THOUGHT URSELF...haha). BUT SOMETHING AWESOME HAPPENED TO ME!! Everytime i was picturing my sis and her bf doing something bad (I WAS NOT FANTASIZING OF CUZ...JUST THE THOUGHT LARH), god (ALLAH SWT) slowly vacuum out the feeling of me being jealous. I cud just feel it.... until all of a sudden... not only was I NOT FEELING JEALOUS ANYMORE... my likes/infatuation/crushed on my sis HAD GONE!! IT'S COMPLETELY GONE! Even when I'm typing this, it's kinda weird how it took just a few weeks for the feeling to just disappear. YEESSSSSSS!! Alhamdulillah...

And I got stronger too (FEEL LIKE SHOUTING RITE NOW...haha). :) I told myself the next time I got into this feeling mess again... I'll be betta prepared. And what do you noe... somebody DID CAME INTO MY LIFE... haha... and this time its a chinese! She kinda gave me some advice regarding how to handle the jealousy problem. Thanks babe! ;) That surely helped... errmm if u wanna noe more about this person...stay tuned on my next blog post. hehe... Kinda tired to continue blogging and I gotta wake up at 5am for early breakfast since it's the fasting month. Gtg bye...cheers...

PS No matter what happens, I'll always love my sis. If Perth is a dark room, she's the light that brightens it up. My sunshine every moment when I'm feeling lonely. Will forever be thankful to you even if we're not on talking terms at the moment. Always praying for u. Luv, ur bro.

Project project project!!

2009-08-12T00:10:00.003+08:00

Iye ya ya!! Finally I'm back bloggin... weeee. :) My last blog post was on the 9th July so a lot happened between that period. Yeah unfortunately I had to go back to Perth on the 12th of July to see my Supervisor regarding my project/thesis. Haiz... met him on Tues though. Omg my heart was bursting when he went thru my thesis. Cesar was like scanning every sentence and 80% of my thesis was full of remarks and comments!! Woa lao yeee!! After that I was literally and practically in the school lab editing my thesis for almost my entire duraton in Perth! Sad thing was that I can't meet up with some of my frens like Weiling, Diana, Lisa and Aunt Anne! Talk about exclamation marks! Haha...

But I was so so glad, touched and honored to have many frens who every day asked me how's my project coming along. There will always be somebody to ask me that. :) Awwww thanks guys!! Ur lurvvveed. :) Sometimes bro accompanied me by goin to the lab to do his proj. Well he's having trouble too with his circuit design. I'm sure u can do it man!! And on some days, Rana came along as well to use the school's internet because he just moved to a new location and there's no internet at where he's staying.

My daily routine would be to wake up at 5.30am to pray (fajr). Sleep again at 6.15 - 6.30am. Woke up at 8am... sometimes earlier to wake up Skyi... I'm her living alarm clock! Omg her voice after just waking up is like a cute zombie...lol. Somehow can't get it off my mind! :P Oh ya I forgot to mention it was winter during that period....AND it was so damn cold during night time and the worst position was fighting myself to wake up for fajr prayer! Arrgghh it was so difficult waking up due to the cold weather. Ok after waking up around 8am, will have my breakfast by eating weetbix and coffee. Since Taufiq introduced weetbix to me, I've been lovin it since! haha...and coffee...its my soul full stop! Ahahakz.. Will take either the 9.13, 9.28 or the 9.43am bus to school and upon reaching uni will be at the lab all the way till 8 or 9pm depending on my mood. Of cuz in between I will stop work to have my lunch and pray at the musollah.

Well that's my DAILY ROUTINE most of my time in Perth. No kiddin!! There were some days where I did my work at Taufiq's apartment though. But I did manage to go Frementle with Syafiq to buy nougats and souvenirs for my mom, sisters and cousins. Thanks Syafiq for all ur toy r us and army stories. It was nice of u accompanying me to Frementle. Me in returned I treated him to fish and chips. And how could I forget goin out with Bro and Yilin to Frementle Prison...well that on another blog post soon! :) Yeah then back Spore on the 30th July. Even then my thesis was still not done yet!! Had to continue doin it in Spore... well at least my family's there. :)

AND THEN... I had my FEELINGS problem again in Perth...arrgghh when will it ever end. Hoho.. but that's on my next blog post. So stay tuned... I promised it won't be that long k Nina! :) Hopefully from today onwards I'll regularly update my blog. K that's all cheers....

Lesson 3 was hard and terrible!!

2009-07-08T22:27:00.000+08:00

Firstly, I was shocked upon seeing that I got only 45 for my project! Moooommm!! That was the first word coming out of my mouth after that... feels betta when ur mom's around eh..hehe. The good thing was that I was given a supp exam.... which means a 2nd chance to pass this unit, which has unfortunately been making me crazy for the past 1 year and a half!! And sadly, it hasn't end yet! Boomer... most probably will need to go back Perth! Hmm will update on that..

Secondly, because of my result, I got no mood to go for my motorcycle lesson. Sms Skyi to inform her about my sadness. She called asking me what happened. Feel so much better after that. Thank you Skyi!! hehe... another good friend whom I met during my 1st motorcycle lesson. Awesome!

Thirdly, my 3rd lesson was the hardest yet. Mayb because of my result, I was so blur that I forgot to wear my gloves when called upon. haha. Our lesson consist of the slope, fig 8 and the crank course. The slope was the easiest but the signalling was a bit hard to react. U need to stop at the slope and slowly turn in the throttle and gradually let go of ur clutch to move off. The fig 8 and the crank course were the worst yet. Aiyoo... At least I managed to complete the fig 8 course even though my timing was too slow but I couldn't complete the crank course even after so many attempts!! Cry cry!! I was cursing and swearing myself after that. lol...later my motorcycle even felled attempting the fig 8 course! Damn! Nvm.... it's only my 1st time on lesson 3. I vow to successfully complete this lesson on my 3rd try. Insyaallah....

K that's all cheers....

2009-07-07T21:31:00.001+08:00

Yikes! I really need a kick up my backside...:P Promise to update my blog regularly but its been like 3 weeks since I last blog. Been slackin...aiyoyo!!. How's my life so far in Spore? Its been pretty good so far. To kick back where I last post my blog, my family went to KL from 19 June to the 23rd. Unfortunately, Nina and Shahiddin couldn't make it cos work permits. Haiz... Anyway had the loveliest time there. After almost 3 years of stressin over Uni life; the assignments, lab reports and of cuz the PROJECT, finally this is the moment where I get to destress myself. Amin! All praise are to Allah SWT! Ok the photos below are just some of many that were taken during the KL trip.
1

On our way to KL, stopped at Macap for breakfast

Our 1st trip was to Semua House, a centrepoint for malay traditional clothes (baju kurung, kebaya etc). Normally, the ladies would have bought something but unfortunately, none of the clothes caught their eyes, including my mom! Weird...haha..

The next morning, the family went out joggin...awesome! Everyone except me jogged at a park about 500m away from my auntie's place. Me...being a soldier ehem2.. went to jog along the roadside.. hehe

At night, went to Nelayan, a seafood restaurant. It has a calm and relax ambience, and its famous to0 judging by the number of people who were there.

One of the meals we ordered... fish!! Yum yum... it was tasty. Oh my mom said the taste department was lacking but did it matter to me. No!!... I semua bedal jer... delicious! haha

Sulaiha and Zalifa posing... they clearly enjoyed the food especially Zalifa.. haha

Yai and Wak Jah at the table... Yai lovin the food that he almost finished the mee that I thought of getting a taste... phew..ahahakz. :P

The next day, father dropped Sulaiha, Zalifa and me at Berjaya Times Square while the rest went to visit a relative. Omg I was awestruck when I went in! It was huge! It was 10 stories high. Something struck me.. when I saw a sign saying Auntie Anne's!!! lol

Turn's out it's a stall selling pretzel! Didn't noe Auntie Ann owns this place hehe jkjk!

We went to practically every shop! It was tiring but fun fun!

The shop's name caught my eye.... cos Naz said ps also meant paiseh! Zalifa once said paiseh paiseh makan tosai...haha

We ate at kenny rogers... the food's a bit like swensen's so no surprise factor there

Abang Nizam brought us to this place, Look up point, which is located on a hill. The place was crowded with peps. Ushers are at the carpark to assist drivers to find a parking space.

My niece Nelly looking attentively at the transparent vase with the candlelight in it. She's super cute and adorable! Awww...

Awww so sweet my parents posing together aka romeo and juliet.. hehe!

The view of KL city from the restaurant. What a sight! What a scenary captured by photographer Hafiz Ithnin. What skill! :P hehe

Went to Shah Alam on Sunday late morning. First stop was to see the beautiful mosque, Sultan Salahuddin Abdul Aziz mosque. My favourite place to be!

The minaret of the Salahuddin mosque, taken by another photographer Zalifa! Not bad.. :P

The minbar and mihrab inside the praying area, which is very spacious

Had lunch at a restaurant nearby our hotel. The food there is similar as those indian foods in Singapore... and as usual delicious..hehe

As the weather was super hot, in the afternoon we went to the wet wet world, a water theme park. Not as big as in sunway lagoon but its still fun and cheaper too

Mother, Sulaiha and Zalifa having lots of fun in the pool. Me, being the cameraman, volunteered to guard the bags and stuffs. Nvm I still had fun taking photos!

Wheee... after so many takes, got a perfect shot of Sulaiha and mommy on the buoy and out from the slide!

This is at Mid Valley Megamall, another huge shopping centre like Times Square. The difference is that the shops here are more branded as compared to Times Square.

In my opinion, Vad & Vid sell the best design shoes at reasonable prices. oh women shoes that is... Zalifa bought one pair and Sulaiha another.

The food junction at Mid Valley, where we had our lunch.

Overall its definitely a very fruitful and memorable trip, especially when it's with my family bar Shahiddin and Nina. Can't wait for the next trip!! Ok that's all... cheers

PS Fuyoo! It took me like 3 days to do this post! Wah kao... next time, definitely not gonna make a post this long again!

Back in Spore

2009-06-18T11:49:00.003+08:00

OMG! OMG! OMG! 31 May 2009; my last blog post. It's been more than 2 weeks since I last updated on my blog! Got a comment on my tagboard that since I came back in Singapore havn't been updating on it. Sorry dude...but ur not forgotten ..;) On my last blog post, I stated that I had submitted my thesis. Aahh that burden feeling was finally lifted off my chest! Amin...

Stayed at Taufiq and Syafiq's apartment for around 9 days. Had fun too because Taufiq's gf and fren came to visit him and we rented a car to wander around Perth. Well brought them to typical places; Frementle, Carousel, City...etc. At nite, I slept on the carpet. haha. Before u peeps were thinking negatively about it, I actually preferred to sleep there because it reminds me of home. Aahh...home eh. :)

Landed in Singapore on the 10th of June at the estimated time of 3am. Wippie... immediately I messaged Naz, Taufiq and Syafiq that I had 'touched down'. My dearest mom and bro was there to pick me up. Yay... can't wait to reach home to see my darlings even though they're still asleep! ahahakz.. Sulaiha was on holiday at Brisbane though.

Went to accompany Haslina to this malay debate competition to support her school, who managed to reach the quarter-finals. They were pitted against Madrasah Wak Tanjong, which had gained a reputation in this competition for being a strong competitor. It was intensed. Oh my! Nothing could have predicted me to witness the ongoing clash between the two schools. It was heart pumping. Each debater constantly trying to score for their team by debunking the points brought up by the opposition. It was exciting. It was entertaining. But I still slept halfway because I had only 2 hours of sleep!! lol.... In the end, Nina's school lost even though they put up a good fight. We stayed on to watch 2 other debate rounds before we went back home.

Debate comp: Madrasah Wak Tanjong vs NJC

I really enjoyed my day with Haslina. :) More stories to come from Singapore. K that's all. Cheers....

Submitted my thesis & end of uni

2009-05-31T04:06:00.005+08:00

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! Finally, submitted my thesis. The long period of stressness, anxiety, tensed and constant panicking has ended. The burden finally was lifted off from my body as though it was a cursed! haha... No more continuous thinking of thesis anymore. Two big thanks goes to my Supervisor, who's assistance and guidance cannot be replaced by any value in the world. Same goes to my mom, who's constant morale-boasting talks on the phone helps to make me calm when I've faced with stressfulness or worse, the verge of giving up and breaking down! Thank you both....thank you..

So what's next man? Hmm for a start I need to chill first...hahahaha. Really...breathe in breathe out. hehe. Flying back on the 9th next month for that final stretch to paradise. To getting my soul back. To home. To where I am BORN! Where my family are. Where my working colleagues are. Where my room are. Where the mosques are. Where the bookstore are. Where peace seems in. hehe.... there will be pros and cons.... where biggest con will be sadly, Naz won't be around! Sorry but can't help it...writing this again and on my previous...i dn't noe...3 blogs! :P

Talk to Nina yesterday at like 3pm. Omg.... hearing her voice was like worth a big bag of diamonds! lol.... errmm is that comparison.... awesome enuf for u sis. Ok it's priceless like those mastercard ads...haha. It was shiok man... 30 mins of talking time with her!! She was at NUS, as a support to her juniors, who were taking part in the malay language debate comp. Yea...so company her back home till she was at her jc's bus stop. Talk some random stuff...about marriage...ewww hate that..lol..and revealing my bad habits....haha...errm.sshhhh!! lol

Finally shifted out from my house...where my disturbing African housemate...was like the WORST...HOUSEMATE..tat I've experienced..haha...worse than even DAVE.. fact! Who the **** is inconsiderate to turn on the music volume loud enuf to wake me up from my morning sleep!! Arrrggghhh.... but its over! it's over.... but one thing which I'll never stop is to constantly seeking knowledge. About?...anything... but priority goes to computer and improving writing and communication to the society. Letme tell you it PAYS to send ur words across to people. LIKE BIG TIME! Another factor is about language... but that secondary...cos english is good enuf in Spore to send ur message across.

Finally a picture of my 3 sisters who I lurvvvvveeeeee immensely. Like IMMENSELY. GOT IT. haha. Omg...they've all grown so pweety. lol....my little darlings...haha. Zalifa, Haslina, Sulaiha! Haiz. To state that I missed them immensely is a little understatement. lol....but anyway... yeah can't wait to go back and hugged em. Oh yea...Haslina's fashion sense had gotten betta...haha from the picture that is. Zalifa is Zalifa..:P Cubby, cutey and bubbly as ever. hehe...And Sulaiha (in white), pretty as ever. Errmm too bad guys....Sulaiha's a future medicine student thoug....so good luck anyone in courting her...wkwkwkwkwkwk. Bottom line is A BIG THANKS TO THE ALMIGHTY FOR MAKING EM PART OF MY LIFE!! :)

*YAWN*....this is me writing this blog at 4.48am at Taufit and Syafit's house. hehe k goodnite peeps...its gonna be Subuh soon. K tat's all and cheers...

Submitted my thesis draft to Cesar yesterday....so for now I'm hoping for the best and waitin for positive feedback from him. Actually though....any feedback is great; whether positive or negative it doesn't matter. What matters is that I passed this unit. It'll make my day. If I can get a good result, that'll be a bonus. :)

All of a sudden my 3 sisters kinda bombard my tagboard with messages. Awww so sweet...keep em comin. haha. Lovin it girls. Can't wait to hug u all too. :):) My mom's birthday comin too. Yay! hehe....wanna hug u so much! And oh tomorrow's Sulaiha's driving test. Wahahaha.....so hopefully she can passed that..so that I want her to be the driver when driving home after I arrived!! hehe.... so all the best Sis. I'm sure u can do it!!

This morn Zahiah asked why with the :S face when I'm goin back Spore. Well I honestly said because I'm gonna miss Naz. :) She said chey...cam nak muntah haha then she asked Y?

Goin back Sg & pickin up Taufiq's mom

2009-05-11T09:32:00.009+08:00

Weeeeee... my mom had booked my ticket flight to Singapore. I'M COMIN HOME EVERYONE!! Haha... the itinerary tix had already been sent to my email yesterday. Wow.... that fast! Date home - 9th June. It happened on Saturday, when my mom called to ask me about my thesis, after which she informed me the earliest ticket to Spore is on the 9th of June; one-way tix by the way. It was the cheapest too. The next available date was on the 11th, on which the tix costs $40 more. Too bad I can't make it to my friend's wedding, which is on the 7th June nor my beloved cousin's wedding, which is end of May. Sad sad....

Yesterday night, picked up Taufiq's mom at the airport. As her flight was still 30 mins due before arrival, we went window shopping. Syafiq planned of buying something for his mom as it was mother's day. Unfortunately most of the items were pretty costly. The duty shop was interesting though. Taufiq said he lurved the perfume section because there's where he could tried it on without paying. Lol.... And Marsyita was being cute when she saw the wii console on display "Oh wwwiii!! I want one!" haha. The moment we got home, Marsyita showed the cake which she had baked to her mom. The cake was ok though. But the chocolate toppings was superb! Yum yum... chocolate.. how could I resist. :) Lot's of interesting convos too - about Sulaiha getting medicine, some scholar in medicine as well(Sulaiha's future bf?? lol), about studies etc

The cake which Marsyita made...the chocolate cream was yummy!!

I wanted to go back after that, but Taufiq pester me to stay saying it's dangerous to drive at night. It's almost 1am though so I gave in. The next day, Taufiq made coffee, cereal and bread with jam and peanut butter for breakfast. :) Had another convo with the mom and Taufiq about the teaching situation in Sg. After which, I went home.

Ok that's all cheers....

Life so far....

2009-05-08T11:30:00.001+08:00

How do you write a thesis? Well am currently doing my thesis. Can't wait to finish it because after that finally I'm done with uni life!! haha....but until I get a confirmation from my supervisor that my draft is ok and he's happy with it, my head will always be tinking of it. Haiz...thesis! thesis! thesis!... Can't even think of things straight without the thought of thesis in my mind. Hopefully I'm able to produce a good one. So gambatte Hafiz...Jyjy..you can do it!

Yesterday was so proud of Sulaiha when she said that she got into medicine (NUS). Alhamdulillah. All the hard work that she's put into ....well it paid off rite sis...hehe. :) Now that you've passed the 1st stage...onto the 2nd...which is to get that degree! hehe....Well the course itself is 5 freaking long years...aiyoo. And that doesn't include another 2 - 3 years to get ur masters or phd...i don't noe. lol!! haha...the sacrifices which you have to make in order to become a doctor or in Sulaiha's terms, a gynaecologist!! hehe....We're all proud of ew sis! Well hoping there's 1 or 2 malay guys in there ...haha. If not, it's gonna be hard for guys to tackle you...lol...

On Wed(6th of May), helped Taufiq to pick up his sis from the airport. Her arrival was around 11.30pm. On the way back, Marsyita was telling about applying PR. I add in saying "Isn't it betta if you're getting an agent?"
"Nooo you can do it yourself. Just have to call the office regularly to see how's ur application goin." Then she asked me the question which I dread "So are you applying for PR or not?" Zzzzz of course I said no...
"Why not?" :S
Then Taufiq butted in "Stay la...we got a room for you! Don't worry I'll find a job for you." haha..
Syafiq added "Taufiq will find a job for you & I'll find the girls for you!" Lol....I don't noe whether to laugh for just keep quiet. haha..... I just drove on. hehe.
Stayed at their place. Was too tired to watch the Chelsea vs Barca match. My eyes were dropping the whole time. In the end, I slept during half-time. Barca won by the way on away goal rule... and the outcome of the match was because of some horrendous referreeing. Horrific...what a shameful performance from the referee! Referee kayu! No wonder Didier Drogba was unforgiving himself for what he did.

Anyway, Naz's goin on a canoeing trip for the next 2 days(yesterday and today) so hopefully she'll be ok there. :)

Ok that's all cheers...

Visit to Uncle Harris's house

2009-05-03T10:49:00.010+08:00

18 April 2009

Me, Syafiq and Taufiq went to Uncle Harris's house on the date above(it was a Saturday) just to pay a visit. Reached there around 7pm so the sky was already dark by then. The 3 of us were just eagerly waiting to be served...lol...so even when we're talkin to Uncle Harris, our minds were on the dining table, where Aunt Latifah had already put the dishes. Yum yum! hehe....

The dishes on the table...there's mee rebus and the cocktail...tasty!!

Hoho...Taufiq and Syafiq can't wait to taste the dishes!

Wat's on the menu...mee rebus!! OMG can't remember when's the last time I ate that. It taste so damn good!!

The cocktail....slurrpp!!

After dinner, Cik Latifah asked us to go to her garden to take some of her chillies because Taufiq and Syafiq said that they occasionally buy em whenever they bought their groceries.

Happily picking the chillies away....it's free anyway..hehe tq Cik Latifah!

After that we went back home. On the way back, some bastard notoriously put bricks on the road!! Wat the hell....and it was dark at nite. Unfortunately, I can't see clearly because my contact lenses tend to move around my eyes!! So my vision wasn't that clear. By the time Syafiq warned me about the bricks, I had no time to break immediately and my car went over the bricks. Nothing happened until the next day! Anyway, I sent them home and drove home. I'll post about my tyre on the next blog post.

K that's all cheers....

Visit to Taufiq & Syafiq's apartment

2009-04-26T12:20:00.004+08:00

Date was 10 April 2009. It was the day where I'm supposed to meet Naz to return her stuffs back and she my money but due to some unfortunate events (it's resolved now so not gonna bring that up), I decided to send Taufiq and Syafiq back home after the Friday prayer.

At their doorstep, they invited me to their house when I'm about to leave so I agreed. Another reason why I decided to stay was because it would put me away from thinking of the incident(with Naz)...hehe. We were watching this spelling game show. The rules of the game is simple. There are 3 levels of difficulty 1, 2, 3. When it's your turned, you chose the level to play. 1 will get you 10 pts, 2 - 20pts and 3 - 30pts. The higher the level the harder the words you're gonna get. The contestants for that day were celebrities, which means they're actually playing for charity. One of the contestant was the host from the gameshow deal or no deal. He, together with this lady were the two best in the game! He really could spell!! haha. In the end, it was the lady claiming victory. It was quite challenging the words being put up to the contestants.

I had this for lunch. Fried rice with 3 fish fingers. Not bad guys!

The spelling game show

After that, we're all so tired so we lied down on the carpet. Ahh it reminded me of home(in Spore). Back home at night, me and my younger bro would be sleepin in the living room. Shiookk! lol. Then Taufiq slept with his stomach on the floor. At that moment, the 1st thing in my mind was "That's how Naz sleeps!!"... lol. Ingat dier lagi (Again was thinkin of her)...haha.

Taufiq(w Nazzie pose lol) and Syafiq(white shirt) in the living room

I was not tired though so after awhile I went to their bookshelf and checked on their books. Oh how I love checkin on books! :) Most of the books belonged to Masyita(Taufiq's older sis). Then I happened to find a 'Learn to speak mandarin' book. Lol... she's learning mandarin too! Then in my head I said "Suppose to give my mandarin book to Naz too."....lol why do all the things remind me of her...:S. Oh well just shut the thought will ya! And for 2 wks! :P I was looking at the time too cos I know Asar's at around 3.45pm. It's 5pm already and I havn't pray yet!! Ya allah budak2 ni, tak sembahyang ker? (Bois, not gonna pray ek?) lol... so I just told em "Imma go pray k." They prayed too. Good thing was Maghrib(e 4th prayer) was just 30 mins later so I prayed maghrib too. The convenient thing about the 5th and last prayer(Isya') is you have the whole nite to pray that (all e way till e 1st prayer which is at 5am!!).

Man in the kitchen... haha

At night, we're watching Ali, a dvd which they rented. It was a biographical film about the boxing great Muhammad Ali up to the time he reclaimed his heavyweight title back from George Foreman. The leading actor in the story is Will Smith, who put up a superb acting performance(he was nominated for Best actor for that year). I was a good movie too I must say. Syafiq checked the tv programmes on the internet and LOTR 2 will be showing later at 8.30pm. So we watched that too. hehe. Unfortunately I had to go home at 11.30pm(abt 3/4 from the movie) because I can't drive after midnight. They told me I can sleep here for the night but I politely declined because I've got to do my project the next day. Yea went home, prayed Isya' and then slept. :)

Syafiq preparing his laptop to watch Ali. Their dvd player is not working so we have to make do with the laptop. Oh it's Megan Fox as his wallpaper by the way. Woohoo!!

I had black pepper meat with rice for dinner. Thanks Taufiq(the cook). It was delicious!

K that's all cheers....

Project presentation

2009-04-22T23:34:00.000+08:00

Weeee! Finally my project presentation is over! How did it go? It was good I must say. Last week on Wednesday, went to see my supervisor to show him my progress. Oh my! It's another one of those hell days... haiz. He said 'You chose the wrong project! The wrong supervisor! This project is not for you!" In my heart, I'm like yea kept telling that to myself but because of my mom's morale support I pressed on. Thanks mom for your countless motivational words that no money is able to replace. Love you from the bottom of my heart! :) Last Friday was the dateline to show Cesar the output from my keypad but I couldn't produce it. He said "Sorry. Today's the dateline and you still can't show me any results yet" and took away my board! Haiz. I just wanna get away from his office!

But I need to get some simulation results in my presentation slides so that I'm able to show the panel of judges my progress so far in my project. And then it came! Allah SWT's help I supposed. hehe. Last Saturday, I tried to redo the schematic diagram. Then Bingo! All of a sudden I'VE GOT RESULTS! I can't believe it. After a year of suffering in this project, I managed to produce a simulation waveform that verfies the schematic diagram! Alhamdulillah. All praise are to Allah! :) No time to waste now. Got till Tuesday to do my slides. Then came the bad news. My front wheels were flat...PANCIT!! Aiyoo...y did this happen to me when I'm suddenly in a mood to do my slides. Yeah the flat tyres distracted me for 2 days! Wah kao... but thank god I've still got my slides from last sem. Therefore, I just need to add in the schematic and simulation results diagrams.

Was supposed to send my slides to my supervisor last Monday to review em but I havn't finish doin it yet. Bommer bommer! Managed to complete it on Tuesday 3pm though. But it's too late for any feedback from Cesar though sianz...and my presentation was tomorrow. Went to school at night with Sze Ching to see whether my slides were presentable in the lecture hall. Was touched when Naz sent me a good luck sms for my presention. :) At night I rehearsed spontaneously on what I'm gonna say for it. The next morning at 7am, Weiling was on msn just to say good luck on my presentation. Awww tat's so sweet of you girl. Thank you. Then Kitty was on at 9am to wish me the same thing. It's getting betta...haha. Wow... I'm touched. haha. Of course, there's guys too...lol. Bro, Syafiq and Rana wished me good luck as well, especially bro and Syafiq for their wonderful advices. Thanks guys. I rehearsed my speech for another 3-4 times. Glad I did it because it made me more confident. :)

Wore my pink shirt(bought by Cik Chacam..yay) and pants. Reached there at 12.10am. Phew! hehe. Cos I'm scheduled to present at 12.20pm to 12.40pm. Saw my bro seating in the hall. Thanks for comin man! :) Then it was my turned to present. Bismillah! I just go with the flow....haha just say whatever I've rehearsed at home. I did ok I think. The questioning session was ok except for this bugger lol. Kan dah kene. He gave adviced on my project like "I tink you should use this component instead of doin tat" Hey dude, are you implying that you're better than what my supervisor had proposed to me! What a pain in the neck! haha.... so pissed of with that lecturer. When I went back to my seat, I showed him my middle finger! Of cuz he didn't notice cos I'm at the back! Bloody hell....Arrgghh. oh nvm.. it's over anyway. :) The best moment was when Cesar came to me and said "You did well for your presentation. We can have a meeting for your project." Wow.... you don't noe how much that felt. Like every part of my body was filled up with happiness. Alhamdulillah. Thank you Allah. Love you so much! Went back home with a sense of satisfaction. Yeeessshhh!! :)

K tat's all cheers....

Splashing out my thoughts

2009-04-15T17:53:00.000+08:00

This is me voicing out my thoughts over some jealousy matter. Don't read if you hate long blog post..hehe and it's nothing really this post. Just me happily blogging away. Ha!

Why is this happening to me even though I'm still SINGLE! Aiyo... it happened last Wednesday. I was feeling jealous over this small matter. Come on Hafiz it's just a small matter man! Y? Y? So I think hard and decided to punish myself. Told her to leave me alone for 2 weeks. She was like yea watever, a typical response from her. Everything happens so fast in my head that by the time I woke up again, I realised the convo was a reality. It happened. Another reason why I did that so that I could concentrate on my project, which had been bugging me for the past 1 year! Haiz...

Well I thought I would be the one suffering in this circumstances because you know, by not talking to her for 2 weeks...wow..it'll drive me crazy man. U noe what. In just the 2nd day since that incident, I just carry on with life. Someone said "U gotta be strong and for goodness sake ur 26! Not someone in their teens!" Lol....that statement changed me. Haha thanks man (you noe who u r ;)). Best advice ever...short and sweet. :)

Imagine my shockness when I happened to read her blog yesterday nite. At the same time I was talking to Lisa, telling her about the incident. In her latest blog post, she mentioned how it was like a terrible week and goes on to say...it all started with...sad to say....ME!! Aiyoo....I was stunned when I read the entire post. I didn't noe it was THAT BAD. I didn't expect this. I thought some bois will keep her company. WELL UR WRONG K HAFIZ! U jerk... u piece of crap... how was i not angry with myself!! If I'm angry at myself for making a random person agitated due to my actions, imagine how angry I am if that person is someone close to me. Can't forgive myself for what I've done. U HAPPY NOW HAFIZ!! :(

I was giving Lisa her blog url and then it started. Fuyoo...e tears..hard to hold back. Was fanning myself with my two hands (like in Miss congeniality when Sandra Bullock fanned herself after she won the miss congeniality title..hehe). "Crying ady liao."
Lisa was like "Aiyoo dn't cry la. So weak ar u." .....well the damage was done rite. Even this morning, I was still shaking my head after that blog post. What have I done?! Oh well it's life experiences like these that'll make you stronger...bak pepatah melayu..hidup mesti diteruskan (life must go on). hehe.... at the moment she's not ready to face me yet even though I'm ok now. But after that blog post, I myself don't feel like facing her as well...after what I did to her. Haiz.

To those who finished reading this post (I didn't force u to read k..hehe), I'm ok honestly. Spiritually and mentally over it. hehe... I'm sure the girl I'm referring to should be ok as well. I hope. I constantly pray that we'll be in good terms again (at least not for now). When will that be? Don't noe....only god knows. K imma stop blogging until my project presentation finishes which is next Wed. Really need to finish my proj soon. Haiz...another problem.

K that's all cheers...

PS Hope I wn't see her this Saturday. Even if she did happen to drop by, I'll just be myself and act normally. :)

Sizzler(Riverton) with Yilin

2009-04-12T12:45:00.001+08:00

Last Wednesday, went out with Yilin to Sizzler at Riverton. Weee another casual outing with a girl! :) Initially was a bit scared of goin alone with her (don't ask me y!! lol) but in the end after encouragement from Kelvin, I'm feelin pretty relaxed. :) Pick her up at 6.30pm. On e journey there, Yilin was complimenting me on my driving, which had gotten better. Yippee... yea last time my driving was really terrible. Well practice makes perfect. hehe.

Reached there at 7pm. Even though there's a queue but we do not have to wait long for our turn. Our seat is located at the right corner of e area. Sweet! Yilin ordered the Sizzling Steak & Garlic Button Mushrooms while I ordered e Fisherman’s Platter Supreme. Even though it's pricey ($63 altogether!) but there's a salad bar where it's all-you-can-eat! U can eat till ur stomach burst! Me though can't wait to get e ice-cream! hehe :)

We talked a lot too on topics such as school work, relationships, friends, wanting to lose weight and being scared at first with her..lol. Yilin was like "Wat's wrong goin out with me? Nothing ma rite" Cos I told her I might go see this girl in Spore and i'm 10 times more scared than goin out with her. xD And the food was tasty! Worth the $30 spent. Surprisingly, I had only 1 serve of salad on my plate! Being honest here..hehe. Mayb cos bro's not there and I wanna lose weight too! ha..

The salad bar section - eat-all-you-can!

The ice cream machine with choc and vanilla flavour..ate 2 cones of chocs!! oh my..

Yilin filling the cup with soup (can't memba wat soup)

My plate filled with salads...it looks yuckie but it's really nice..:)

My Fisherman's Platter Supreme...delicious!

Yilin's Sizzling Steak & Garlic Button Mushrooms..how I wished i could have that 2. Cos the place's not halal certified so i could only order seafood...haiz oh nvm

The dessert section...mouth watering..had the choc cake and choc mousse! Yum yum

Finally took a pict on our way back to my car

On the way back Yilin was like "Ur obsessed with her la Hafiz!" I said "No la" followed by "Ermm Yeah!" haha...just being honest with Yilin. "Aiyo..go date the other one."

"Wait till I'm in Spore then" I'll tell u about it if that happens. Just some of e convos in e car.

Anyway, I had an enjoyable time at Sizzler with Yilin. In fact, she's fun to be with. Cute to look at too especially when she's laughing... haha. Cam nak cubit2 jer pipi dier (feels like pinching her cheek). :P

K tat's all cheers...

PS Shouldn't have called her the 2nd time. It did and it happened again. Oh well wat's done is done. I always hated myself when that happens...haiz..

Garden City with Weiling

2009-04-08T12:42:00.000+08:00

Went out with Weiling to Garden City yesterday. Weeeee haha. No lar. Just a casual outing. :) Pick her up at 2.30pm and we reached there around 3pm. Thank god I didn't get lost...hehe. It was my 1st time to the place so was a bit excited. When we reached there Weiling said "I'll just follow you." haha...so I explored the entire area. Garden City is definitely smaller than Carousel but I kinda like how the inside is being designed compared to Carousel. In my opinion the walkway seemed more spacious. There's not a lot of people around though so maybe that could be the case...hehe.

Was supposed to go to this Jap restaurant but Weiling kinda forgot where it's located. It's definitely not at Garden City but somewhere nearby. In the end, we ate at Zushibent..ok la..at least it's a jap restaurant too. :) The 2 of us ordered the teriyaki fish set, which costs $10.50. I can't eat anything other than seafood so that's why i ordered that (cos the restaurant is not halal certified). Haiz...if not I would definitely have the chicken set. Nvm. When I saw the menu brochure, I realised that this is the same restaurant that I went with Naz but at Carousel. Unfortunately that time, it was about to close just when we went in. Too bad sis!

The zushi bent restaurant

The teriyaki fish set which we both ordered.. haochi de (delicious)

It was nice the two of us talking about random stuff like housemates, islam and sis lol. Weiling was like "Wouldn't she be lonely if you went back Spore?" I replied "Naaahh. She's got a lot of bois to keep her company!" Ahahakz ;) Some questions asked "How come some girls wear scarfs but some didn't wear?" A very typical question indeed. It's essential(wajib) for muslim women to cover their heads but if they don't, we can't force them but adviced them about it. There's no force in islam! May Allah Swt gives the light(Nur) on those women. Amin! :)

Went to dymocks bookstore to see the books there. My 2nd favourtise place to be! :) Weiling likes mystery novels while mine is let's just say I've no preferences...haha. I read cos it helps to improve on my english(& cos of a girl!! haha). We didn't buy any books though cos it's pricier compared to Singapore. Oh come on! Kinokuniya all the way man...hehe. After that I send her back home. It was a nice & simple outing with a friend. :)

Some photos I took at Garden City

Back at her doorstep. I was like eh take picture take picture!! lol

K that's all cheers....

Outing at Lexus car shop and Liverpool beating Fulham

2009-04-05T15:44:00.002+08:00

Ok enough of girls and feelings post...xD. No wonder one of my sisters said "Alamak abang aku ni jiwang ar". (My brother being sentimental!!) :P... k so this time i'm gonna post some normal random stuff.

Last 2 weeks, on the 23rd of March, I helped send Kelvin (aka bro) to this Lexus car dealer shop at Osborne Park. He needs to enquire information regarding hybrid cars. I'm not sure what a hybrid is but it's like a car that not only uses fuel to run but also electric motors. Therefore it saves money and it being eco-friendly as well. Sorry I'm an idiot with cars much less hybrids...haha...a good site to learn more on it is at http://www.howstuffworks.com/. They explained in detail the basics on what a hybrid is about. Check em out if you're interested.

K, here are some photos which I took on that day.

The Lexus car dealer shop

Mommy....I want one!! xD

Kelvin talking to the technical person. He's real friendly and gave bro lotsa information. Dn't noe about his name though

Showing bro the engine side of the hybrid car

Wasn't really listening to what they're saying cos i was too busy taking pictures...:)

Showing bro where the battery is located

Kelvin was satisfied with how the visit took place. When we're just at the entrance of the Lexus car shop, I looked across another car shop and my eyes glanced straight at the name. It read ASTON MARTIN!! Oh I happened to know one of bro's fav cars is Aston Martin so I said "Eh bro...look Aston Martin sia!!" Of cuz we went there to take a look. As 1st we hesitated to go fearing we need permission to get in. In the end, the feeling of just wanting to see this piece of gem is too overwhelming for us (esp bro) and we just went in. hehe. In fact, nothing happened...I tell you the people here are so friendly it's great! If only the people in Spore would show the same affection to people around them.

Aston Martin!!

This jewel costs $250,000 by the way...gulp!! Sheer beauty!! Anyone to lend me that amount xD

Another piece of sheer elegance...in white!! Masyaallah..

haha..chill2.

Liverpool beats Fulham 0-1

I just gotta post this! Especially when it's regarding my wife!! haha. Omg letme tell you it was pure drama of soccer action between Liverpool and Fulham. Fulham was the home team. They're quite confident of pulling off another scalp to prevent Liverpool from getting the points from this match. (They had previously beaten both Arsenal and Man Utd and had drawn against Chelsea.. great results against top opposition on their home soil)

First-half action. Liverpool was clearly the team getting most of the possession. Unfortunately, luck wasn't on their side during that period. The ball hit the post 4 times!! Imagine that. And Mark Schwarzer pull off a few great saves. Bommer...I was tearing my hair off in disappointment during that time. Why hasn't the ball gone it yet!! Y? Y?

2nd half action. Same storyline. Liverpool had most of the possession but didn't have enough teeth up front to trouble the backline. It was so frustrating. Imagine it had gone 90 mins and the scoreline was still 0-0. I was thinking back on the two beatings against Man Utd and Aston Villa and it will be for nothing if Liverpool doesn't get maximam points out of this match. I was like haiya.. another one of those bad day at the office. I was imagining both Man Utd players and fans being emphatic if the match ends in a draw. Then IT HAPPENED!!

Ryan Babel from the left skipped past 2 players and passed the ball in the penalty area to Steven Gerrard. A defender is trying to get the ball away from him and it ricochet off to Benayoun. Without a second, Benayoun just ram the ball at goal. Did it went in?

GGGGGGOOOOOOAAAAAALLLLLLL..... BEST FEELING IN A LONG TIME. Not since Steven Gerrard hit that long drive home against West Ham in the FA CUP final in 2006. I know the guy next door had asleep so I can't really shout! lol.....so I was jumping up and down for about a minute as I was pumping my fist in the air....yes!! yes!! You just have to see the reaction of the liverpool supporters in the stands!! Happiness and joy!! They're jumping up down like it's in a cup final. Omg! I can just picture every Liverpool fans worldwide in euphoria mood as the ball slams past Mark Schwarzer. Sure delight!!

Only time will tell how valuable that goal was to Liverpool. Man Utd are still favourites though to pick up the title gong come May but the pressure is now on them to deliver it. hehe. Tonight they're up against Aston Villa. Both teams, on the back of recent defeats will be out to prove that they're just mere blipped. How will it go? Let's find out tonight. Over to u Alex...hehe

Video highlights of the Benayoun winner. Sorry the commentator is an arab but just listening to him commenting on Benayoun's goal brings ecstasy on me...haha especially when he's shouting Ya Allah..Ya Allah Ya Allah....xD

K that's all cheers....

She who calls me bestie....hehe

2009-04-03T00:50:00.000+08:00

Even though we're miles apart, (she's in Spore while I'm in Perth) we still keep in touch thru sms. She calls me bebeh... so I called her that too...hehe. Cheyy!! haha... nothing special la. Just a nickname. My mom calls my father habibi sometimes. Ring ring.... mom on the phone said "Fiz boleh cakap dengan my ya habibi!" (Can I speak to my ya habibi)...haha....so sweet la. Habibi means darling... :)

She's no longer on msn because she's bz with work. Work work work. It's the norm amongst my Sporean frens. When I asked them how r u? All of em will say the same thing... "Oh normal...bz with work"....I guess I will too if I'm working. She's got a blog 2 & it's shared between her frens. They're called fazrasstianaz. Cool name huh :) Will I get to see her in person? Only god knows... To those people reading this post, she's not my special someone...NO NO...she's just a friend...not just a friend but a very good one. :) AMIN!

If ur reading this (u should know who I'm referring 2), I wanna say a big HELLO. MISS YA :)

Am still doing my proj. *YAWN* Gonna see my supervisor later at 2pm. Hope it goes well.... gulp!! All the best Hafiz.

K that's all. Cheers...

PS Bebeh, janji u update u nyer blog bila ade masa lapang k. hehe....Xpe2 ur kawan yang update pun ok gak. Asalkan ade post baru pat ur blog. :)

Internet back on form!!....and trouble with feelins??

2009-04-01T00:15:00.005+08:00

Thank god! After about 10 days of my internet speed being pegged back to 64kbps (damn slow sia... -.-), it's back to full speed again (1.5Mbps)!! Yaaaayyyy....so damn happy. Those 10 days of tearing my hair off... haiz. Most times, it took a bloody long time for sites to upload. Mayb it's my fault?? What did I do? Ermm...I was reading Naruto (manga) from episode 1 all the way to 440++!! lol. Oh for those who didn't know, Naruto is one of those anime comics written & drawn by some Japanese artists. Imagine in each episode there's like 20 pages....if u multiply that by 440 ep it's like 9000...if 1 page is 1mb, that means I've used 9GB of internet usage!! How dare u Hafiz....well I was hooked with the story..so interesting that I can't stop clicking for the next one, and the next and the next...it took me 3 days to finish everything...haha. K I'll never do that again...I promised.

Something happened a few days ago. IT JUST BLOODY HAPPENED. Wat is? Feelings? Arrggghh. I don't noe. I noe it's not about infatuation or liking. A part of my body just triggered itself, exploding as if it is running everywhere finding excuses for the suddened emotion. She didn't talk to me. She didn't sms me. Not a word on msn. Come on Hafiz. U've been thru this b4. U noe she's bz. She'll talk to u some other day. So why the hell are u still over this matter, as if u've never experience this b4. Ur such a wuss (that's what she said...lol & I deserved that). U can just sms her rite! IDIOT. (controlling myself from using any foul language!!....haha). The next day, purposely put my msn status on busy and away...NOW UR ASKING 4 IT....who ask u 2...IDIOT! lol...Kk i deserved that as well. It's not jealousy. It's just a feelin of wanting that person to be there... Hafiz! Hafiz! Ish ish ish cam budak kecik la (like a small kid la u)...She replied didn't she. :P Well that feeling's over. Phew... the worse thing is that she's having her own problems and I just add to her troubles even more....ape dah kau ni. :(:( COWEY! COWEY!

Anyway, I guess it's a good thing that it DID happen cos by overcoming it, it'll put me in good stead if it were to occur again. I did promise her that it'll never happen again....so Allah pls pls grant me this doa. AMIN. :)

K that's all cheers....

Why I love jogging and reading....girls??

2009-03-29T12:20:00.000+08:00

Wat's with girls and why they can influenced us men in our actions. It's true I guess. Even Prophet Adam r.a (peace be upon him) was influenced by Eve r.a (Siti Hawa - peace be upon her) in his decision on whether to eat the fruit (forbidden by god) after she persuaded him to eat it. As you know the two of them are being deceived by the devil (ask the christians/catholic, they should noe as well).

I remembered when I was in secondary school, my malay teacher said that god gave us men the feeling of love (sifat kasih sayang) towards women. Men tends to be gentler towards the opposite sex (duh..as if we all dn't noe...haha).

K enough of tat...haha. Grandmother stories..lol. Well I started reading and jogging because I was influenced by this girl. It was during my national service period in Pulau tekong. I was a sergent (the most lovable of all..haha..tat's y the encik don't like me much..:P) then. At that time my company recruited some female recruits. Therefore, a female sergent was assigned to them. She's a malay as well and 2 years my senior. Well we kinda gel nicely at first (towards the end dn't noe wat happened we seldom talked..oh well watever haha).

Sometimes in the morning I would sms her asking her to go breakfast with me. haha...way a go Hafiz...:P. She's not bad ar ...cute and pretty. She told me that she loves to read and jog and that's where I started to be influenced by that. Do I like her? No...just that it's nice to have a female companion in the army. I even bought a quran with translation for her when she asked me where to buy it...:):) weewittt!! haha. One of my sistas lurrvves to read as well...omg she's really a bookworm... in fact her bf is tat...books!! lol... I wouldn't leave my house without a book in my bag. If I'm in the mrt or bus, I would take it out and read...hehe :) It prevents me from looking at the girls hehe... I remembered this girl (had a crushed....now she's married...oh so sad haha) she told me "Hafiz read more books if you wanna improve on ur english"...iye2...lol.

So yeah...the main person who influenced me to jog and read is that girl in the army. A GIRL!! hehe.. Well I don't have her number though so I dn't noe how she's now. Well.....if you happened to read this, I wanna say a big thank you to u..cos it played a big part in my life - my english got betta and my stamina improved..:) K that's all cheers...

1st meeting with supervisor and Liverpoolfc

2009-03-24T16:42:00.004+09:00

OMG!! Since I was back in Perth, I havn't meet my project supervisor yet! No way! How long has it been? Let's say it's been 3 weeks!! Mampos la....haiz. So I decided to see him yesterday even if it means getting another one of those mouthful lashing. No kidding. He could change into a thunderess lioness in one second if what you've done so far doesn't please him. Scarry! You should have seen his face! Like a thunderstorm! Lol...

Well, I must thanked Jj for calming me down yesterday. He gave me lotsa advice about what to do and what to say before I went to see my supervisor. Thanks man. Appreciate what u did. :):) Supposed to see him at 1pm but I hesitated. U COWARD! haha...yea I was still hesitating about goin...finally I did, about an hour later. I insisted on seeing him. Mati mati (die die) must see him. So reached his office and he was in! Said a prayer (lolsss) ...saw on his door it stated that he's in a meeting so I decided to wait. Waited for like 10 mins. It seems so freaking long... came in and said that I havn't done my keypad and dac program yet. My supervisor said...well I'm busy at the moment so let's set a schedule for our next meeting. Phew! Next meeting - Friday! To be honest, there isn't much time left. Let's see how it goes this Friday. Jyjy Hafiz!

Liverpoolfc closed the gap on Man Utd to one point....

Can't believe this is happening to Liverpoolfc... things gets even better as the minute goes. After the 4-0, 4-1 thrashing of Real Madrid and Man Utd, who could have predicted that they would carry on their demolishing form against Aston Villa. 5-0!! OMG...feel so sorry for em. Stevie Gerrard was at his best again, hitting a hat-trick (2 of em are penalties by the way). Mascherano and Alonso was at the fulcrum of the Liverpool midfield. Riera hits a scorcher and Kuyt scored too. :)

Will Liverpool nicked the title from Man Utd. To be honest, I doubt so. Man Utd still has a game in hand to play for and Alex Ferguson is a terrific person who's able to turn things around when things turned bad. It would take a brave man to bet against them. But...but IF Liverpool finally end their wait (19 long years!!) for that coveted trophy, what a joyous moment it'll be for all liverpool fans. Until then, we'll just have to wait and see what god has planned for us...hehe. ;)

K that's all. Cheers....

Curtin Library with Naz

2009-03-17T18:53:00.005+09:00

Woke up around 11am yesterday. Woah so damn late...haha...maybe cos I don't have any more classes at Uni and therefore didn't set any alarm. Ish ish ish....

Checked my hp and got a message from Naz. It read "Bro wanna hang out at the library to do our work?" That was a surprised but I was happy to accompany her at the library to do our work. So i said "Sure, no problem sis". Since last year been wanting to bring her to the library to study because she always can't concentrate at home. Msn lar, bois lar, game lar....and more bois...lol... oh library is my 2nd fav place to be after the masjid..;) ...masjid for ur info is the mosque (the house of god). ;)

Was about to leave home at 3pm when she called. Aiyoo...I'm gonna be late! Damn...oh I have this philosophy that you should always be there according to the time. I've got some girl friends giving excuses that they're 1 hr late cos they need an hour to dress up. Oh please...you're beautiful as u are gals..haha. I hate being at the mrt control station, leaning against the wall like a tree leering at people....thank god I always bring a book with me. No wonder they're one of the most precious items which u could have when boredom falls over u....

K back to my story..haha. Where was I,..oh yes...she called!! Thank god for like 10 mins i said, we can always continue when we meet up. So I hurriedly went out to walk to the bus stop. When i was liked 100m from there, i got a message from her..."Hurry up lah gemuk!!"....lol...talk about being late! Never mind....sabar2...patience is halfway to reaching iman (which is true faith)!

First thing she did was to stick out her leg with the intention that I'll fall. Omg...not in front of so many students....Zzzz!! haha...well so far I never fall! U suck sis..lol...we went for a bite at the bookmark cafe near the library before we head to the library. Fuyoo!...the moment we found a place to sit, immediately we're in our study zone!...I went to the engineering shelf to pick up books related to my project whilst Naz was concentrating with her work. Good job sis! Too bad time was not on our side though. Naz had to be back home by 7pm so bomber....we're only at the lib for less than 2hrs! So around 6.20pm we packed our things and I sent Naz home....

Who's that guy??

Oh it's the handsome mat....Naz!! haha

K that's all cheers....

Outing to watch Man Utd vs Liverpool

2009-03-15T18:00:00.000+09:00

Went to a friend's place yesterday at Vic Park (2 guys in fact). Our plan is to go to Ali cafe (the turkish restaurant) to watch the match between Man Utd vs Liverpool. I took 2 photos outside their house.

That's my car aka 2nd wife...lol

Man Utd vs Liverpool

Billed as one of the matches of the season. As Sir Alex Ferguson said, it wil always be an intensed matchup no matter where the opposition stands in the table. That says it all! All the liverpool players are gearing up for this matchup and Wayne Rooney put salt in the liverpool camp by declaring that he had always been hating Liverpool (he's a former Everton player so that's how it triggered that emotion).

My two new friends, Syafiq(left) & Taufiq. Oh by the way they're both Man Utd supporters!!

Look at my tiny cutesie Liv pouch..haha

Me and Syafiq having a pose together

Match about to start...oh it's Mr Rafa on the screen haha

The match lived to its claimed as a top EPL match. WHAT A MATCH!! What intensity! What ferociousness from both teams. If you add the match to the exuberant audiences; they're screaming, jumping, shouting....whenever both teams was at the other end searching for a goal. The match was so intensed that my heart was pumping like a locomotive train every single minute! haha. The first blood though was made by Man Utd. Park Ji Sung was unintentionally brought down by Reina...his hands was inwards his body..how the hell could that be a penalty! I was cursing and swearing. I feared the worse when Ronaldo took e penalty. GOAL! 1-0...habislah gini. Is this another one of those days whereby Liverpool would succumbbed to another defeat at Old Trafford.

After which...a revival from liverpoolfc. AND WHAT A REVIVAL! Hoho....nobody could believe the miracle that would lie ahead after the penalty saga. As statistics show only 25.9% of people who voted said that Liverpool would beat Man Utd. Even I was not expecting that. Who would believe that Torres would scare the daylights out of Vidic, who at present is the best defender in the EPL. In his current electrifying and sublime form, he would scare the hell out of any defender in the world right now. Thank god he's not a Man Utd player! I'm sure the result would be the opposite!

In the end Liverpool ran out 4-1 winners! What a comeback! They're the first team in the history of the EPL to score a double over Man Utd when they're 1-0 down. Amazing! Can they mount a title assault? I doubt so when Man Utd are still 4 points ahead with a game in hand. I'm sure the Man Utd players will respond from this match starting with they're next game against Fulham. But if god's will...hehe, if Liverpool do win the title which they coveted for the past 19 years, truly it will be listed as a Cinderalla story for all Liverpudlians (as we Liverpool fans are called). Until that happens, I'd just be contend if Liverpool could finish 2nd in the final league placing ahead of Chelsea and Arsenal. YNWA!!

Pictures of the Man Utd vs Liverpool match

Ronaldo scoring the penalty that puts Man Utd ahead

The moment when the match turned...Torres gets the ball from Vidic on his way to goal. Somebody was blocking my view when Torres got the ball off Vidic. Damn it! haha.. anyway, you should have seen Vidic's face when he fell and before he knew it GOAL!. A face of utter horror. Feel sorry for the lad. I'm sure he'll respond after this match.

Torres celebrating...what's tat..u wanna play hs5!! haha

I'm on top of the world!!

Captain Fantastic Gerrard kissing Liv logo on his jersey. The two twin terrors, striking fear to defenders everywhere

Gerrard kissin the camera lense. Torres: Ok now's my turn to kiss!! haha

The incident that got Vidic sent off. Gerrard was clearly through on goal when Vidic pulled Stevie G down.

Referee flashing the card which players feared the most. THE RED!! Off you go Vidic!

To add salt to Manchester United, shortly after the sending off incident, Aurelio curled in a free-kick which left Van der Sar rooted to his post. Marvellous!

Who could have predicted this?!! Dossena sends the Man Utd supporters scurrying back home with a lob to put Liverpool 4-1 up. Will he be leavin this summer...hmm stay tuned.

Finally highlights from the match. Enjoy.

After the match, I shook hands with Taufiq, Syafiq and this ang moh who's a Liverpool fan as well. No hard feelings guys. It's only a match. I wouldn't be posting pictures this many or commented on the match had it been a normal match up (against lesser oppositions). But against big teams, such as Manchester United, Real Madrid, Chelsea etc... a positive outcome like this type of match will certainly bring a more sense of happiness and shiokness hehe...to any Liverpool fans.

Ok that's it from me. Haiz got to finish up my project soon! Cheers...:):)

Safari beta & Google chrome

2009-03-14T12:22:00.000+09:00

I was first introduced to the browser Safari by Sze Ching. He said it's the fastest one out there, in terms of uploading time. Of cuz the other two is Mozilla Firefox and IE. So I decided to try it out...and BOOM!! Been lovin it since. The interface and fonts are the first that catches my eyes.haha..mayb cos I lurvve to eat apples and Safari is by Apple so maybe that's y I like it. haha..(i know Nina...a lame joke..lol).

Unfortunately at some point in time (last year Nov I tink) the safari browser seemed to get sick...as a metaphor..haha. It's not compatible with some of the plug-ins so sometimes the video is like not shown on youtube or some other sites. I had java and flash installed but it still doesn't work so it gets me frustrated..arrgghh. But there's no problem when I opened using Firefox or IE. Y like tat one?!! BUT I LURVVEE SAFARI. damn it!! :(:(

Then just last week, I came to know that Apple had created a new version of Safari. A beta version. Therefore, as usual..decided to check it out...and Woah!! I had no such problems on the video part anymore. Like it's been fixed!! Yay...happy2! haha. One thing that's new on Safari is that there's this button on the menu whereby it'll take you to a page showcasing several sites or windows which is actually your most visited recently (shown below). Cool huh!! ...

Safari: Page showcasing ur most visited sites recently

Well enough of safari. Yesterday I was browsing on the net and I happened to know of google chrome. Yeah by google....I've got 3 browsers (everything must try..kiasu mah!!) so was thinking hmmm should I try it. Then decided to have a go at it. The exe file of google chrome is only 535kb. Wah so small and it took me just a few minutes to install it. So far to good. Opened it. Imagine my shockness when my eyes glanced at the menu. There are two sites attached there. One is customize links, which will take you to the microsoft site. Fair enuf. The other one...get this..is a site to STOP PREMATURE EJACULATION NOW!! LMAO....haha I was like I didn't do that. How did that get there...hahahaha

Maybe the makers of this google chrome found out from statistics that a lot of men tend to ejaculate quickly....like waayyyy too early that the other half didn't enjoy the love making session!! haha... I've got a friend who once told me that you have to make a girl cum 5 times before you ejaculate. Errmm...watever lol...just as a preference. hehe

Anyway...yeah the two pictures above shows that I'm not lying. I didn't do it...HONEST!! Of cuz I was curious enough to have a look at the site to see if there's any information which I could use as a general knowledge. hehe :P....

Well that's it for now...toodles...

Man Utd Vs Liverpool

2009-03-13T12:10:00.000+09:00

Tomorrow's the big showdown between Manchester United vs Liverpool. Feeling nervous already...hehe. Will be goin to Vic Park tomorrow with some friends (don't worry 2 guys...haha) to watch it at this turkish restaurant, where there's this giant screen to showcase any premier league match which is shown live. Very clever way to attract customers I should say. :)

What's gonna be the outcast of the match.... as I'm a liverpool fan, of cuz my heart wants em to win it. But Man Utd is on a roll (and I seriously mean it...habis la!!). They're on a roll that they looked pretty unstoppable at the moment.

Let's just see how the match goes tomorrow...hehe. I will shuddup for now. Stay tuned...
