Juat Another Day..

31st Jan 2007

this week, a lot of things to be done..presentation, lab test, common test, deadlines, blah blah blah..

anyway, yesterday suppose to have a recce for Hijrah Walk which will be a collaboration between 2 mosques..ended up dicussing on the games ajer..that also took us a solid 2-3 hours of cracking our heads..waw!..for those didn't know, the Hijrah Walk will be on the 10th of Jan 2007..

this Friday, got a ceremony for MS..going to hand over our post as committee members to the new committee..its like so fast sey..pejam-kelip, pejam-kelip dah 3 years in poly..and will be leaving soon..hopefully that is..heh..inshaAllah..

i have been hooked with photoshop sey..been using it almost everyday..don't know why but i am beginning to enjoy playing with it..it started way back..cey..nolah..actually it was late last year i started using photoshop, just to explore what it can do ar..so i began exploring here and there, tried doing simple shapes, khat designs etc etc..then up sikit and engendered some posters..for my own lah..taklah lawa sangat kan..so, yah..hopefully after poly before NS, i will be able to create more stuff using photoshop..inshaAllah..

lastly, i really hope that i will be able to go somewhere, not singapore of cause, maybe Malaysia, just to relax myself before i enter NS..tue pon tak tau bila sey..but to think of it, better i go in the earlier the better..so got more time to think of what i am gonna do after that..hmm..maybe work..or maybe futher my studies..but that really depends on myself ar..i taught of taking up religious studies somewhere..maybe in Malaysia..dunnoe yet lah..still thinking..

anyway, all the best to those having their exams, FYP and attachments..hang in there aite?..

peace out!..

Been Busy..

anyway, i had to reach CMPB by 1.20pm..but i was so early sey, 12.30pm i reached liao..so i did had a short nap ar..been do tired and busy lately..

when my turn came, i was ready to inform that my left ear is still blocked with a lot of wax..but in the end i didn't inform them..why, you might ask..they were going to put some solution in my ear, so tak sempat ar nak bilang..heh..when they checked my ear, they told me that the wax are still there, no improvements..so they need to clear the wax for me ar..they used some kind of injection tools with some kind of liquid inside it..it felt like water gushing into my ear sey..actuallly it was lah..heh..but it was painful ar, can feel the needle pocking into my eardrum..pain sey..they did to my right ear first and, and you know what?..what?..they showed me the wax inside my ear..it was like, eeyeeeer!..so long and ugly..keh3..and my left ear was worst..they had to clean a few times first before they could dig out the wax..and you know what?..what?..the wax was like so big sey..heh..can't describe how it looks like ar..but i did request to bring back the ear wax, just to prove that the wax really exists..heh..disgusting right?..

so here i am at mejid having a short break before i start back doing the stuff i had to do..

peace out!..

Dream Fable..

"Your prayers are your light;

Your devotion is your strength;

Sleep is the enemy of both.

Your life is the only opportunity that life can give you.

If you ignore it, if you waste it,

You will only turn to dust."

Not Our Day..

21st Jan 2007

this morning i was suppose to go climbing at Climb Adventure with my youth..we make it a point to go once every month ar..so that our skills tak karat ar..heh

initially when we counted, about 10 of us will be going..but in the end only 6 of us went..haiz..maybe they have their reasons for not coming..

i met up with my chairman and i tompang his bike..the rest went to meet up at AMK and my bro drove them there..

as we were on the way there, i received a call and a message..but obviously i couldn't answer the call ar cause we were still riding..when i read the message, i totally forgotten, the climbing centre will be shifting to another location..oh no!..i really forget sey..

once we reached the centre, the rest were already there ar..they look disappointed ar cause dah datang dari jauh abeh tak dapat climb..haiz..to not waste any more time, i suggested we go to another climbing centre which was located at Rangoon Road..so i went to enquire ar the location of the place..another suggestion was to go to Yishun Safra..but in the end we decided to go to Climb Asia..

the centre looks like a shophouse from far..got lost finding that place..well, theres always a first time in everything what..we were surprised not to see anyone there, except for the people working there ar..then we enquired for the rates..waw!..expensive sia..in the end we didn't climb there cause too expensive..but before we left, we did have a feel to the walls..heh..don't know when we will be coming there again..

it was already nearing 1pm at that time ar..so hot and sweaty..so where else to go?..either we go home or somewhere else ar..so we decided to go Yishun Safra..hoping that we can climb there..one of my member needs to leave so left the five of us ajerlah..sigh..

once there, we found out that the rates there even more worst..more than $10 for non-members..what the!..only for members the rental will be cheaper..in the end, we didn't climb again..three times in a row sey..haiz..so we went bowling instead..you know what happened next?..you don't know right..heh..there was this bowling competition and there were so many people..not our luck sey today..hmm, what else can we do there?..i suggested we go play pool instead..and you know what happened there, all the pool tables were fully booked..what!..i mean really sey, today really not our day..but we tried asking whether can be on the waiting list cause my chairman is a member..alhamdulillah, we did managed to get a billard table but soon we switched when the pool table was unoccupied..at least we did have something to do after all that we went through..really man..

pool was fun..my chairman taught us how to play like a pro..heh..i mean i was getting better sey..really!..i managed to win one match against him..keh3..gerek!..

soon all of us were really tired after all the travelling..

after that, my youth had a friendly soccer match at our homeground against our counterparts from DM..i didn't play lah cause was on duty for Asar prayers..so after that i went to support my team ar..not like a cheerleader but just hanging around there ajer..suddenly it started to rainly heavily..the match still goes on unless theres lightning ar..i went home early cause got some school work to finish..

peace out!..

The Journey..

18th Jan 2007

we were talking about me and this person which she taught i had anything going on with her..she said she saw us together for a couple of incidents..i said, "ane ader sey.."..i mean i have been with so many people before what..and she taught me and that person ader paper..nolah..we friend2 ajer per..some more the person herself ader problem and she came to me for advice..

sowielah kalu sape2 ader teraser ker aper ehk..

So Penat Part 2..

17 th Jan 2007

yesterday after school me and Jason went for our second try for NAPHA test..the first try i fail sey..sigh..

guess what?..what?..i failed again sey..sigh again..but i did improve in certain areas ar..the first 5 stations which in sequence consist of sit-ups, pull-ups, standing-broad jump, sit and reach and lastly shuttle-run..most of them i did well ar..

for sit-ups, wah, pain sia my stomach..i wonder how many donkey months i have not been exercising..cramp giler perot..

after that pull-ups..dah mcm selenger sey buat pull-ups..i don't know how to describe ar..actually the hands are suppose to do the work right?..but me, most of the time i use my legs to help..you know like kicking your legs to get the extra boost..i mean its funny right?..i was laughing at this guy who did just that..in the end, i myself did the same..keh3..

as for the rest, nothing much ar..nothing interesting happened ar..

hah, here comes the boring part..2.4km run..haiz..waited for a few minutes before the run starts..i told Jason that i was aiming for at least a B for my 2.4km run..in the end Jason backed out after the 5 stations without taking the run.."sampai hati Jasooon"..left me alone..what to do, just run lah..the first lap i managed to get well under 2 minutes, about 1.15 minutes..i was sprinting all the way sey..pas tue, pancet..the next 5 rounds i was like jogging consistently..i didn't keep track of my timing..usually there would be the big timer right..during the starting ader, after a few laps dah hilang..aper sey..so didn't know my timing was like ar..after finishing the 6 rounds, i was too exhausted to ask what was my timing..so i just waited for the results ar..

i was really hoping that wouldn't have to come back and retake my NAPHA test..but when the result was released, i almost fainted when i saws my aggregate points..eh, tue dah bedek tue..heh..aiseyminah, i did expect to fail again sey my 2.4km..what a waste of time..keh3..nolah..at least i now know where my status is..so now i know i need to train more..haiz..most probably going for the retest agian next week ar..make supplications for me yah guys?..sayang korang..heh..

so penat..

peace out!..

So Penat Part 1..

16th Jan 2007

today is just another tiring day in school..

this morning i had my mock interview for communication skills..guess what?..what!..i was the last person to be interviewed..heh..its not like the normal interview where the teacher interview us..its like 3-4 panelist which are my classmates ar, interviewed me..anyway, i was quite nervous ar before i was called for the interview..but when my turn comes, wah, i was so calm sey..you don't belief you ask my classmates who interviewed me..heh..

i was so stoned during lecture and lab lesson..keep nodding from side to side, front and back..didn't close my mouth sia..wahpiang eh..heh..tried eating some chocolates, slapping my face, talking to Zaki..still sleepy..why ar?..don't know ley..luckily never kena scolded by my lecturers..maybe they didn't notice me..

the last lecture suppose to end at 6pm but the teacher dragged it till 6.30pm..wah, like we no need to go back like that ar..anyway, i was sleeping also..keh3..

after school i decided to go to mesjid for prayers..haven't been there for a few days sey..mcm rindu gitu sey..met up with my EO and DO and chatted for awhile..now here i am posting using the mesjid nyer PC..heh..mcm tak tau malu gitu..well, they know me..me know them..keh3..

going back soon..maybe after Isyak prayers ar..if God wills that is..

peace out!..

Oh Noooo!..

15th Jan 2007

just finished school and decided to stay back for awhile to update my blog..

this morning me and Jason had our NS medical check-up at 8.30am..i had to force myself to wake up very early sey..we met up near my home area, somewhere near Thomson Plaza, before we proceed on to Bukit Merah..we were fortunate to be able to meet in the bus..so won't have to waste time to wait for the next bus service..

we reached Bukit Merah at about 8am..then we walked on to CMPB..while walking, Jason told me that we need to take picture, as in photograph of ourselves..and he also mentioned that those who have beard or mustache need to be shaved off..really?..i thought he was joking only..but he didn't look so..once there, we had to go through some sort of immigration thingy before we could actually proceed on..to our surprise we bumped into our classmate, Gilbert..he was undergoing his 3 months IAP there..how cool is that!..no need to work with lecturers..heh..but he say its boring there, just walk-walk like supervisor..better than nothing right?..

we then went to the check-up centre and started off with picture taking station..in there, the officer told us to wear the top uniform and..and..he asked me to shave off my beard and goatee..oh nooooo!..oh yes!..my hard work in keeping a 'prominent' trademark gone just like that..sigh..sighing..sighed..it feels like i am naked without my trademark..what to do..

i still can't help touching my chine sey..haiz..anyway, we went to the next station..this guy at the counter serving us was so d_ _ _ rude sey..he talked to us like, "Where's your questionnaire form?"..it may sound polite but his way of talking is like "asal boleh ajer"..how rude..no specific instructions were given to what kind of form he was asking so we didn't know what to do per..we wasted our time doing extra work sey..me and Jason just couldn't stop talking about him..how rude..

anyway, after that me and Jason went our separate ways..haiz..there were about 9 stations ar and in the end Jason finished first..i got stuck with the hearing test..in me i was panicking but tried to keep cool..heh..the test was like we need to go into a cubical where there is a big headphone for us to put on..then if we hear any sounds from either our left or right ear, we need to raise our left or right hand accordingly..the 'doctor' told me that i had too much wax in my ears and he also gave me this medicine..and the other thing is, i need to come back for another appointment to check my hearing again..ghee!..

i still can't stop touching my chine..heh..

the other stations i went through smoothly..i don't think its possible for me to tell you about the other stations cause i don't feel like it..keh3..nolah, i don't want to expound too much in detail ar..

Jason was waiting for me for about 45 minutes like that..i got stuck lah..what to do..then we went for breakfast-lunch with Gilbert..after that off we go..

i went back to school..didn't know why but i was soo sleepy sey..i was like nodding throughout the lecture..mcm paham gitu..heh..

peace out!..

Just a Concern..

14th Jan 2007

i took this bus from Woodlands Bus Terminal and theres this guy in the front row, he switched on his hp MP3 to the max sey..it was so loud that at the back of the bus pon can hear ..i mean most of us have been through this kind of situation right?..but never i had met someone who is alone and on his hp MP3 so loud..usually we notice if theres a group of people than they would on ar..not being racist or 'agist', but often we notice its always youth from all the races are doing that..we don't really know what's their purpose of doing so..

i mean like there are other passengers in the bus right?..how would they feel?..somemore if the person is right beside you..feel like smacking their face right?..or taking their hp and through it away..they are not considerate enough to think of the people around them..maybe they want to rest after a hard days work..and these kind of people board the bus..ghee!..so aggravating..

if you want to hear music pon, be considerate and hear to yourself ajerlah..no need to show off your hp can play music ar..i am looking at this matter as something negative ar..not good for the environment..

maybe i might be wrong in my comments..maybe you guys have other comments that may help support..

peace out!..

Congrates to MVAC Team..

13th Jan 2007

the day finally came..

i started sneezing since i woke up this morning..oh no!..that's a bad sign sey..it's either i will be sneezing the whole morning or afternoon or sneezing the whole day..for those who know me, it's not something new..if i got flu, i really can't concentrate on what i will be doing..haiz..oh no, got workshop..

for those who did not know, just now MVAC had a calligrafitti workshop at NLB..it was our first sey..wuhuu..

this was the poster..

I met up with Hilwan and Q at around 9++am..there were some commotion about whether we could start preparing for the workshop earlier..okie, that's not important ar..i was like, uuuuhh-waahh, as we entered one of the animation rooms..it was so cool..the room itself has a cool setting..anyway, all the necessary equipments were already available, notebook, projector, mics etc..but there's this whiteboard where when you press a button, the surface where we write on will turn the other side..cool ehk..whatever..

as we prepared the room, the rest came..Sarah, Mar, Saqinah, Remy and Saddiq..

myself and Q were doing our last minute practice and i am getting worst sey..yikes!..

i was getting nervous sey..plus my nose was running away, aggravating sey..my eyes started to be watery..

then me, Q and Hilwan went out to Bras Basah to get some writing materials..i decided to follow them cause it was too cold in the library..i will be more sick if i stay much longer there..i bought something to chew..getting hungry sia..

when we reached back, Faisal was there..he's an experienced khat designer and our life-saviour..luckily he was there to help us in the khat drawing part..

as participant starts to arrive, i was getting more nervous..i didn't know why but i was..as i started writing the conversions of names to jawi script, my writing got worst..i s_ _ _ sey..i guess i need to practice more ar..

the workshop commenced soon as most of the participants were there..we were surprised that the media was there too, from BH..wah, it was like a big event sey..and yah, we were on the malay news just now at 8pm..luckily i wasn't in the picture..heh..

the session where me and Q were required to demo on the jawi writings, i told Q to lead cause i look horrible if i were to present..so the hands-on part i did help out ar..going around and guide the participants how to write using pencils..there's this teacher from Temasek JC where she asked me a lot of questions ar..questions from where to get the khat pens to how MVAC can help out with TJC's elective modules which includes learning about the history of Malay scripts..she looks young though..keh3..anyway, it was fun talking with her..

although there were some technical faults during the workshop, out of 5 popcorns, the highest we got from the participants was 4 1/2 popcorns..wuhuu..

it was a success ar and positive comments and feedbacks were given by the participants..let's give ourselves a pat on the shoulder yah..(pat, pat)..

eventhough we over-exceeded the time, we did went home with relief and smiley faces..heh..

What a Week in School..

12th Jan 2007

the end of a hectic week in sch..haiz..

got back my first common test (CT) results, horrible sey..did badly in most of my modules which i thought i would hv done better this sem..but it turn out the other way..sigh.. so many things to do..reports, assignments, projects..yah, whats sch without them right?..sigh again..

like one of lecturers told, "don't be dishearted with your results, its only 20%.."..but to me 20% is alot..what if i did badly again for the next CT?..maybe another 20%..then the rest of the percentage goes to daily work, attendance etc etc..i mean every percentage counts right?..wasted sey if all goes down the drain..

so from now on i hv to do better for the rest of my papers before i graduate from poly..left about one more month sey to the final exams and a few more weeks to the next CT..warowwey..so soon and i do not hv the mood to study yet..yikes!..

hv to chiong sia..if not, you will know what will happen right?..wasted my 3 yrs in poly..hv to pull myself cause no one will help me if i don't help myself..cey!..gvg myself some motivation..keh3..abeh no one wants to motivate me per..heh..whatever..

neway, tomorrow is our big day..i mean for MVAC ar..we will be conducting a calligraphitti workshop and im involved..duh, of cause lah..i hv been practicing my khat drawing for the past week and i still find myself struggling to get my hands to soften down abit..you know, stiff hands will effect the smoothness of the drawing..so, yah..hopefully the workshop will run smoothly as planned, if God wills..

as you could hv noticed, im posting in English..only a few Malay words here and there..this is due to a friend of mine who requested me to do so cause he doesn't quite understand Malay..so, yah..just for you bro..i ll try my best yah..

peace out!..
