1957-2010

she is striking a pose with her sisters

I know. Our history subject that I've learned in my school years contained many corrupted stuffs so that particular parties can keep their noses clean (and this comes from a guy who scored C in SPM haha) But, what the heck. I still love the fact that my country is celebrating her 53rd independence day! Happy 'Merdeka' Malaysia! Keep on standing in the eyes of the world, baby.

not care two straws

We are neighbors and our mother-tongues share a lot in common but there are some that can be very misleading to such inappropriate context because of the different meanings.

I have an example.

In my place, the word bubar means 'to abrogate or call off' but here, it is a short form of buka bareng which literally means 'breaking of fasting together'. Speaking of which, that was what we had this evening! We went to Nanamia Pizza where my drinks was awesome, the pizzas were phenomenon and not to forget, my oven baked potato was legendary! But, the most important was having those with your local friends without feeling intimidated for the recent crisis that erupted between our countries. The best part was that we still can laugh over the same pan of pizzas when no one had to feel disheartened. On the recent problem, lets those who know way better than us do their job.

To my fellow group-mates, I know I've never been a good team-mate to you, but seriously you guys surely will be missed.

working with superior


How I wish my superiors in future are all casual and laid back creatures so I don't have to literally bow down everytime talking to them. Not to say I am giving no respects but, I believe some people just has corrupted the definition of politeness which results to a unnecessary tension or not-so-friendly atmosphere of junior-senior communication. For me, insulting or shouting at them is rude but stopping and stooping whenever you are walking by them on the same hallway is simply ridiculous and nonsense. Small talk and friendliness are harmless, though.

I'm pretty sure workload and responsible as a houseman is stressful enough, so to work and learn with people in an unfriendly vibe is not very much helpful I guess.

impossibility


Life is very wonderful, especially when you have to take no time to be in it. But, it's not always rainbow and butterflies ahead. I've created mess because I've attracted to mess, so I guess I've to get my own back here. At this point in time, it just makes me thinking why all of this happened in the first place. So far I could remember, when I was nodding my head, I think I was just plain stupid and when I was shouting 'let's do it!', I should have thought twice, thrice or even four times!

month of blessing

O ye who believe! Fasting is prescribed to you as it was prescribed to those before you, that ye may (learn) self-restraint. (2:183)

I am sorry for taking me 15 nights to wish all my Muslim readers "Happy Fasting!". May Allah give us His support in this world and in the hereafter.

look at the stars, look how they shine at you

It is either being a man with plain emotions is actually difficult or is it me that I am not man enough. To be frank, the latter sounds much like me. I've had promised to myself not to wear my heart on the sleeves this time, but peeps, it was much more difficult than said. I've had to suck up lots of awkward/inappropriate moments and the worse part is, some were the result of my fault and I've had to struggle just to taste my own medicine. Well at least, there were lessons I have learned. With many hearts to take care of, sometimes you cannot always be too much self-centered because the world is just not moving around you, man.

To cut long story short, previous weeks have not been quite nice to me.

On the other note, things actually is turning upside down. Piles of works are waiting and stacks of chapters need to be covered. Everything and everything must be settled by Oct, 11 and this has put me in a difficult zone, since my final exam is only two weeks before deadline. I am seriously keeping my fingers crossed now so that it can be done in only one go, Amen. If everything runs well, on Oct, 27 I'll be attending my oath-taking ceremony and going back to Malaysia on the next two days for good.

It is fifth week already and still have another 5 to kill kill bang bang!
