presssssssurre...

i thought that the last semester of your poly life would be relaxed, after having completed my internship and major project. but i was WRONG! Sem 3.2 has been so so fast paced. things keep piling up. there are projects after projects, quizzes, assignments and tests! and i'm gonna have 5 papers for term test. dang! well, there's just so much to do, so many things to think of, but so little time.

can time please slow down? i dont want my last semester to end quick. cos i still want to savor times in poly, which has always been wonderful, especially my beloved FP! oh please slow time mr time. i just want to have fun. but i'll still give all i can in whatever assignments or tests to come.

HEY! HO!

LET'S GO!

love, love, love, love love love...

hello world!

just to warn you, mushy alert! mushy alert!

i just want Nurul Nabila Binte Azman to know these when she reads this...

i want her to know that i love her so so so much and i am very very very grateful and thankful to god that i have found her, got to know her, fallen in love with her and to be someone special to her.

hmm, the reports that we have have been so much of a hindrance to us this holidays and its ending soon. but i really hope we can write our song together one day, insyaallah.

insyaallah, there would also be more songs that we can write as our relationship progress.

insyaallah, our relationship would last.

insyaallah, we'd find jobs that we love doing.

insyaallah, we'd be able to help as many people as we can.

insyaallah, those people that we love and those reading would pray for us :)

insyaallah, we'd still be together in years, and decades to come,

and add lots more of wonderful moments together into the collection that we have.

till then, good night world!

knock, knock...

hello world!!!!!!

no no no, my blog isnt dead. i'd just been too busy and lazy to blog over the past three months. sorry blog, for neglecting you haha.

SIGHS.

i just have a few things to let out of my lungs right now.

firstly, i still got 6 more months of school but i dont know why i'm worrying about NS so bad. its not about how tough the training would be or what so ever. its about how much i am going to miss each and every single one of my heroes.

i'm going to miss my mother so much, my sisters, my girlfrend, the goons, sambateria, fusion, and all my friends.

its just that first two weeks, when you are required to stay in the camp for two weeks, that's keep bugging me. HOW THE HELL AM I SUPPOSED TO GET THROUGH THAT?!!! not seeing my family and my girlfriend for TWO FREAKING WEEKS!!!

dear readers of my blog, please pray for my strength to go through that.

now, i'd just like to say that I love my mother so so so so so super duper much.

I love my family so so so so so so so much.

I love my Nurul Nabila Binte Azman so so so so so so so much.

and I love all of you friends, sambaterians and crazy FP people.

from now on, i promise to myself that i'm going to make sure that i spend as much quality time as i can with all these people cos they make my life, they make me live and they make me want to live.

till then, its time to wake my ever adorable sweetheart and do my report.

i'll try to update my blog more often ;)

bananas in pajamas...

hello world!

i know, i know. i havent blog for more than a month!

i was just too tired and at times too lazy to blog.

a lot has happened since.

no doubt i'm missing cptc. it was a great adventure to me.

learnt a lot, gain so much experience, had fun and also made so many new friends.

and i also fell in love with table tennis there.

so let's go to yesterday ;)

it was NAPFA. honestly i was not prepared for it at all. 3 weeks or so before that was all busy for me. had to study for exams and felling the fatigue of shift training. i was totally nervous yesterday. my aim was to just do what i can, and if i fail, i can always take it again. my only ammunition yesterday was a banana that i brought from home. i guess it helped! physically or psychologically, i dont know. but it did play a part for sure. alhamdulillah, I GOT GOLD!!! i got A for everything, and B for standing broad jump and a B or C for 2.4km run. i totally didnt see that coming. but alhamdulillah, it happened and now i can feel aches all over my body hahaha.

turkish grand prix last sunday. all i can say is webber suck. you're just the main driver on paper mate. you know that vettel can be better than you any time. you have the better car and you're more experienced. but that does not mean that the driver "second" to you cant overtake you. and for those of you who said it was vettel's fault, please know the rules first and look at the footage with your damn eyes.

to the spain national team,

VIVA ESAPANA!!

alright, dont wanna get cramps while typing!:P

have a nice day!

good bye for now ;)

monkeys eat peanuts?...

oh my, i havent been posting anything for a month?!

that's bad.

this would be a very short one as the influenza viruses are weakening me.

so, life has been interesting waking up at 4.30AM every weekday to get to Jurong Island for my training. despite that its been quite fun and interested and i've been bonding more with my coure-mates whom i've never really talked to. and, i've been selected as the firewarden! -.- hahaha.

came two great events yesterday morning:

WOOHOOOOOO I ACED THE INTERVIEW FOR VEOLIA!!!!!!!

I PASSED MY BTT!!!!!!!!!!

alright, that's all folks.

if you guys are free today, do drop by the Rolex tower, between lucky plaza and paragon.

SAMBATERIA'S GONNA ROCK THE STREET ;)

knock knock knock, penny...

hello world!

things have not been much on my side these past few days.

not that most of it are major stuff. but it did make me feel down a bit.

i've been really busy. yes, busy. i havent got time to go online that much. i was miles from my best at futsal. liverpool lost to manure. fusion was like _____ cos we still cant have full attendance in a session. and i've been busy, with other responsibilities. but its ok. sometimes people act a little werd to say the least. but its ok, maybe there are other factors, that i dont know of, which led to that. like mr singh always said, too bad that's life.

hey, this wasnt supposed to be an emo post haha.

well, i'm officially addicted to THE BIG BANG THEORY. oh yeah, its getting in my lists of favourite shows. all thanks to frz for passing me all three seasons. from the title above, i guess its kinda obvious that sheldon's my favourite character. dang, he's like the modern day, intellectual and talking mr bean. Jim Parsons, you're the man. oh, and nabby has gotten a job. a promoter/marketer i guess, of some health products from venture era. it sounds cool.

ALL THE BEST SAYANG! :)

hope you'd like the job and who knows, you'd get promoted sometime.

well, i guess that's it for now folks!

giant?...

hello world!

so, if you have read nabby's blog, you'd surely know that she's a little stressed right now.

cos she has to plan a class barbeque for the first time and to make it worse, she's doing most of it alone so far. kesian kan? i hope i got to help her at least a bit on the phone just now with some of my suggestions. GO SAYANG! YOU CAN DO IT! :)

so, let's talk about yesterday, can we?

Sambateria rock the hell out of mediacorp radio studio down that the lights flickered!hahaha.

yeah, it was our recording session with nity baizura for her new segment called .SG or something like that which would air this SATURDAY, 5PM on RIA, 89.7 FM.

do catch it you guys!

the recording session was all filled with fun. nity baizura seemed quite friendly. she even joined the bandwagon calling me giant. giant? till now i still dont know who's giant from doraemon. oh, the band said that my voice sounds like him, its a him right?haha. well, maybe i'll check it out later on the net.

so, after the recording sessions were done, she asked if any one of us wants to be a part time radio deejay. so i dont know why i raised my hands. it just felt cool i guess, and it looks fun! so yeah, it was beda, jufri and me who raised our hands. we were given a script each to read and to be recorded, recorded!haha. first, we're supposed to read the news. secondly, it would be recorded. those factors made me go crazy and made me enter my super nervous mode. that's what i call going ga-ga hahaha. so yeah, the whole band, including nity baizura, saw me in that nervous state, and i became an object of amusement haha.

so yeah, i dont hope to get it. i just take the shot, give it a try cos its worth giving. if i get it, then its good. but if i dont, i dont lose anything right? thanks ms sim for making me think this way! if you guys have read my recent post about me accepting the invitation to be a host, you know its not my forte. but yeah, what ms sim taught me made me accept the invitation. cos its worth giving it a shot and if i get it, i'll get to learn new things.

so, after that long day, its time for fp. which i actually forgot there was haha. see, whenever there are last minute shows, then roland would be looking for samba. snort face, -.- see cynthia, samba's gonna save your butt this sunday. you know, that samba that you're trying to hard to kick out of TP. another snort face, -.- haha.

and alhamdulillah, rain is coming back to tampines after so long.

that's all for now world!

have a nice day, gay!

its time to rock!

yeah yeah yeah, exams are over for me!

well, it actually ended two fridays ago :P

now its time to have fun, write songs, play samba, play guitar, play games, hangout with family and friends, spend time with sweetie sweetie and most importantly, stop neglecting this blog. i'll try.

so, let's see what i've got to do so far. right after our last paper, the class went to seoul garden to have a mini celebration there. well, i need not talk about the food cos i'm sure you know its good!haha. then after, we just hungout a little bit, waste some time, walk around the three malls in tampines int. and ended up sitting in times bookstore reading magazines hahaha. well, all of that didnt lasted that long, but it was fun while it lasted.

from that day till now, i've been going jogging in the morning once every few days, exercising a lil bit, going to the gym with teddy, playing some guitar and had a couple of performances. i also got to go to my grandmother's house, after quite a while, and got to meet my cousins, who i've missed quite a bit, though i dont show it haha.

this holidays, i aim to write a song for the band, for myself, write a song together with nabby, brush up on my guitar playing and also try to learn some piano if i can. i'd also like to meet the goons, please. and alhamdulillah, i've registered for btt!hahaha, finally!

so, i've already written a song for the band together with teddy. so far, it sounds good. well, i've also got to touch the guitar after so so so long. my fingers fells so rusty right now. but its a good start getting back, i got to learn brianstorm and supermassive black hole in a day!haha. but still gotta tighten on it.

STAY TUNED GUYS, SAMBATERIA'S FIRST VOCAL SONG WOULD BE OUT BEFORE YOU KNOW IT ;)

come, take me!

(i meant the holidays :P)

meeting the folks...

hello there world, if you're listening.

wow, i've neglected my blog for quite a while.

so let's get started!

two weekends back was a really interesting period for me as i got to bond with sweetie sweetie's family. not her FAMILY, but FAMILY. you know, her cousins, aunties and grandparents. it all started on the saturday, after we went for the uniSIM open house. well the open house was really irrelevant for a chemical engineering student like me, but i did learn a few things from it. well, the climax of the day was when nabby's parents invited me to join them to her grandparent's house. it was an honour really to get such an invitation. it meant a lot to me and i'm sure to her too. well, its nice to see a grandfather, even though it wasnt mine. you know, i've never get to grow up having a grandfather with me. all i've always had and, alhamdulillah, still have is my one and only grandmother. its just that feeling that i cant explain. well, both her grandparents looked nice. it was just a short visit, so i didnt get to talk much to them. just got to exchange a few words.

and here comes sunday, the day after that. i'm going to ugama with nabby, together with some of her cousins and aunts. the journey there really wears you down. you're tired even before it starts. so yeah, when we reach there, we were immediately served with breakfast by her obek, who bought so much food!haha. obek sukma, was nice and quite humorous. they're kinda loud sometimes and also funny. nice people to be with. so, ugama was cool. seriously, i liked it so so much cos we studied history of nabi muhammad that day. which was the best thing that i could with for. its amazing that i learned so much in just two hours. even though i had some knowledge on it already, the ustazah just told it from an angle that i've never heard from before. and and and, i'm participating in the upcoming maulud/maulid rasul. initially, i was only playing music for the marhaban. but now, i'm going to be the host! my oh my, i've never thought i'd do this. but i would now. it was an offer that i can hardly turn down to be honest as i've never done it before. but i'd love to try it. we'll see how it goes this 21st!

The "Couldn't-think-of-a-suitable-title" post

It's been 9 months since that night.

Time sure flies by fast, even when you're feeling like crap every single day.

You'd think I'd have gotten over you by now.

Heck, I'd have thought that too.

Fucked up thing is, I haven't.

Just two days ago - on the 14th of February - it would've been the anniversary of the day...the day we both swore affection to each other.

You'd think I'd have forgotten about that too.

Fucked up thing is, I haven't.

Yeah, I may have had a few days where I really enjoyed myself too much to care about what we had or what we might've had...

Fucked up thing is, you never really left my mind.

You were just sitting there, like an unwelcome guest in the house of my convoluted noodle.

I'd have shoo-ed you out, but the conscience....

Goddamn conscience.

I don't know how long this feeling will last, but I'm afraid it won't go away so soon.

Fucked up thing is, I don't feel like I want it to go away.

This needs another shot of chocolate milkshake, damn it.

hey bro, cheer up ok! well actually just by looking at you, i know that you still have her in your heart though you try so hard to hide it. definitely, someday, there would be a girl who would appreciate you and fall in love with you. i still remember when you told me some bit about your break up to me after gym. you know what's the first thing that came to my mind? how could she not fall in love with this guy after "supposedly" trying for a few months? but its ok, you still have us. your friends! sambateria! and your whacky ex-classmates haha. well, we can go gym together. and if you want to catch a movie or just go out, just call me man. you're my mentor, you're my friend :)

1 down, 2 to go...

alhamdulillah, we made it through today ;)

sighs, so many things that i can do after exams!!

but now, its time to study.

ps, i love you nabby!

dot-dot-dot...

hello world!

ya ya ya, i've neglected my blog, again.

but its not my fault. there's so much work to do with quizzes and tests every week and the fast-upcoming exams, i hardly had time or mood to blog. well let me get started before i forget what to blog about haha.

5th Feb:

the goons, plus my sweetie nabby, mas and marlina, had a little birthday dinner for fariz at swensens', changi airport. had fun the whole night! well, nabby and i came early and got some "dating-time" walking around the airport after some heck of a busy week. the food was good, of course and there were nice chats and laughters throughout. i would also like to thank this waitress who gave us free ice-cream and discounted our bill when she learned that we were celebrating someone's birthday. the best part of it was when all of us raised our voice to sing happy birthday for fariz together with some of the waitresses. dang, it felt good to go crazy!haha. and the whole of swensens' was looking at us. hmm, nabby had to go off early as she's going out with her family. wished she could stay longer. but we didnt stay that long after she left though.

the trademark of the goons, indecisive and last minute plans. we seriously cant decide where to go after that. after mas and marlina went off, we took the train towards joo koon, still not knowing where to go. we kept talking crap, go joo koon lah, ghost hunting lah and more that i cant recall. so in the end, we, or rather they, decided to alight at paya lebar. where to?.......karaoke -.- hahaha. i've never ever done it before neither do i intend to. but i got no choice. just go with the flow and hope its good. well let me cut it short and sweet. IT WAS FUN!hahaha. i never thought i'd say this, but it was, seriously. one hour felt like just 10mins. i had a really good time. singing songs and at times laughing at jufri's "whammy-voice". you know, when your voice kinda screech for a moment and you dont see it coming or do anything to stop it hahaha.

13th feb:

alhamdulillah, its our 1 and a half year together. yes, there's been tears. but most of it was smiles, laughter and joy. we live together, we cry together, we laugh together, we go through challenges together, we stare at each other and smile, we go crazy together, we study together, we love each other and accept each other weaknesses together. wah, lots of together huh haha. well, it takes two obviously. alhamdulillah, we've made it here and insyaallah there's more to come. so, let's get back to the story, we had a little picnic as a 'mini-celebration'. we dont really celebrate every month like some couples do. we only do it once every six months. just to make it more meaningful maybe. so, we bought macdonald's breakfast and made our way to bedok reservoir park. found a nice windy spot, laid our mat and had our breakfast there before relaxing, reading newspaper together and singing some songs. its a good therapy after having such a busy and stressful week to unwind very close to nature. oh, and i also got to reveal a song i wrote for her, in other words. i surprised myself actually when she teared while i was playing and singing it. alhamdulillah, she liked it. well, i wont post the lyrics here HA!HA! but its basically like this - be my first, be my last. ok, revealed too much already haha. well, its obvious right from those four words, for those who dont know me, that she is the first ever girlfriend that i have and i really pray that she would also be the last, insyaallah. so ya, i'm not sure how good it was, but she liked it. that's what that meant most.

ps, I LOVE YOU NURUL NABILA BTE AZMAN :)

14th feb:

had sambateria meeting cum surya birthday surprise at kebab station, east coast park. its the first ever time that i did most of the planning for a band member's birthday. got the napkin, got the cake and also decided on the place. the band meeting was good. discussed lots of stuffs. then after that, we surprised surya with her birthday cake. well, she said she expected something cos she knew we would celebrate everyone's birthday haha. HAPPY BIRTHDAY once again PUAN FINANCE! thank you so much for being like a sister to me, sharing your philosophical ideas or thoughts. you might not realize it. but some of them kinda gave me motivation. and also thank you so much for your great contribution to the band. i wish you could be back, playing with us. but its ok, at least you are still part of the band, though not playing with us. do drop by our practices or shows when you are free! oh, and she also got a gift from one of the workers at kebab station. ajey jey!hahaha.

THANK YOU KEBAB STATION FOR YOUR WONDERFUL SERVICES! they were cool, funny people and they offer very very good food. they didnt hesitate when i asked if they could help me hide the birthday cake for a while. they provided us with plates and forks to eat the cake. and i didnt even ask them for that. they never failed to serve with their sense of humour. dang, i'm surely going there again!

so i guess that's about all that i have to share for now. just had PIA test yesterday which went quite good. but i dont dare to be confident, cos it kills me haha. three more papers next week and i'm on for the holidays. looking forward to seoul garden-ing with the class next friday! i hope my wish of intensive gym during the holidays would happen! teddy, i hope you're reading this ;) oh, thanks for teaching me the full-body sit-up. i'm working on it!

oh ya, enjoy the muse songs on my playlist! the best live band in the world, trust me. if you dont, tell me. i'll lend you the dvd and you'll love them for sure. its sad that i had to miss their concert :( its ok, hope they'll come back!

bye bye world!

fish, fish, argh, argh!!

dont get any ideas man from that title up there.
that was caused by 3 seconds of intense pain followed by several minutes of static feeling on your knee cap. all thanks to this metal rod in the inner side of the table. i was just trying to tuck my chair in a little bit when my knee hit it.

i hope the injury i got some 4 years ago wont haunt me back. got that during a soccer match when i was going for a 50-50 challenge. a bugger(not a buggy driver :P), dashed towards me when i was stretching to get the ball. i got the ball but he got my knee. two footed challenge straight to my knees like a bulldozer. worse, when i fell, i got up, and dribbled with the ball for a moment. i didnt felt anything at all. but after i passed the ball, dang it was painful! from then onwards, everytime i want to jog or play soccer or even badminton, i would need my knee support. when i dont, i would have knee pains for days/week. even if i do, those sometimes those pains would still come. its sad. i feel like a handicapped sometimes.

my knee has been in tip top condition since late last year. countless football matches and jogs and i havent had needed the knee support anymore.

its kinda weird how an injury that you have been having for years, the ones that torture you everytime after you jog or play soccer, disappear just like that. even rayan have seen me panic before when the thought of undergoing operation as the only remedy came to my mind. well i guess i wont need need now.

well my knee's feeling better now and i hope that knock wont cause my injury to come back. you know, its just like trauma, everytime my knee hits something, the first thought that would shoot my brains would be operation, tissue replacement and all that nonsense. dang am i scared!hahaha.

why am i even blogging about this?
ok, gotta go pray now. sweetie sweetie's class ends soon.
take care of your knees people ;D

in other words...

hello world!

i'm back.

i've been neglecting this blog way too much already.

either i'm too busy or feeling the fatigue wearing me out.

so, where do i start?haha.

well due to the limitations of my random access memory right now, let me just blurt out what i can think of or remember.

busking sessions...

its been a hell of a month. pumping the groove to the streets of orchard rd every sunday this month. performance last sunday was great! it was one of the tightest, everyone was having fun, the crowd was moving to the beat and the best of all, most of us were playing. well, there were people like teddy and surya whose absence was really felt. and it felt good to see some freedom percussion, rdp and bloco part of the crowd. it gives you that extra motivation to give more!

teddy's zombie filming...

this was cool. very cool. my, i had so much fun helping teddy out with this. made some new friends, learnt some new stuffs and seen some new things. can it get any better? its my first every acting experience and it was a blast. with all the bloopers and behind the scenes craziness. i cant wait to see the final result. TEDDY! I'LL BE WAITING FOR YOU TO POST THE FILM!!!

haircut...

so yeah, i got my long, curly hair cut. the best thing was that it only cost me $3.80!!! how cheap was that?!! a salon offering such price, just too good to resist ;P well it was ok, a lot of people were glad that i did it. but the "curly-hair-ed society" at school were kind of shocked haha. and nabby got a haircut too!! sweetie sweetie wanted to trim her hair a lil bit. so i said, why not. well, partly because i just want to see her get a haircut with my own eyes.

slump of the mighty reds...

well, the whole world knows it. its obvious hearing the bragging of the man-ure fans, arsenal fans and all other fans of the "wrong team". we are under par, unfortunately. well first of all, i've been through this before. the season after we won the champions league in 2005, when we go 5th. secondly, and most importantly, i'm a liverpool fan, proud to be one, not because of how good liverpool is. i didnt fall in love with it when i saw them winning. its just in my heart. even i dont have any clue how. and after learning so much about the club and the culture, its inevitable that liverpool is just the club that i support, no matter what.

ooops, ok, that's all for today. it feels good to be back blogging.

gotta wake up sweetie sweetie from her nap now.

goodnight world!

see ya :)

update...

yes, yes, i know i havent been updating for close to two months! gosh, that's how busy i was haha.

the update would be up soon, i promise.

tribute to...

here's a tribute to a man who wow-ed me with his double paddling. who's also a member of a band that i love so much...

will he always be missed
