Mohammad cartoon row sparks backlash

Thursday February 2, 12:54 PM

PARIS (Reuters) - An international row over newspaper cartoons of the Prophet Mohammad gathered pace on Thursday as more European dailies printed controversial Danish caricatures and Muslims stepped up pressure to stop them.

About a dozen Palestinian gunmen surrounded European Union offices in the Gaza Strip demanding an apology for the cartoons, one of which shows Islam's founder wearing a bomb-shaped turban. Muslims consider any images of Mohammad to be blasphemous.

The owner of France Soir, a Paris daily that reprinted them on Wednesday along with one German and two Spanish papers, sacked its managing editor to show "a strong sign of respect for the beliefs and intimate convictions of every individual".

But the tabloid staunchly defended its right to print the cartoons. Le Temps in Geneva and Budapest's Magyar Hirlap ran another offending cartoon showing an imam telling suicide bombers to stop because Heaven had run out of virgins to reward them.

Danish Prime Minister Anders Fogh Rasmussen said the issue had gone beyond a row between Copenhagen and the Muslim world and now centred on Western free speech versus taboos in Islam, which is now the second religion in many European countries.

"We are talking about an issue with fundamental significance to how democracies work," Rasmussen told the Copenhagen daily Politiken. "One can safely say it is now an even bigger issue."

The clash has commercial repercussions. Danish companies have reported sales falling in the Middle East after protests against the cartoons in the Arab world and calls for boycotts.

SCATHING ARAB REACTION

Reaction in Middle East countries has been scathing.

"In the West, one discovers there are different moral ceilings and all moral parameters and measures are not equal," wrote the pan-Arab daily Asharq al-Awsat.

"If the Danish cartoon had been about a Jewish rabbi, it would never have been published."

Saudi Interior Minister Prince Nayef said Riyadh considered the cartoons an insult to Mohammad and all Muslims. "We hope that religious centres like the Vatican will clarify their opinion in this respect," he told the state news agency SPA.

In Beirut, the leader of Lebanon's Shi'ite Hizbollah said the row would never had occurred if a 17-year-old death edict against writer Salman Rushdie been carried out.

"Had a Muslim carried out Imam Khomeini's fatwa against the apostate Salman Rushdie, then those lowlifers would not have dared discredit the Prophet, not in Denmark, Norway or France," Hizbollah head Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah said on Wednesday night.

The late Iranian leader Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini called on Muslims in 1989 to kill Rushdie for blasphemy against Islam in his book "The Satanic Verses". Rushdie went into hiding and was never attacked.

Saudi Arabia, the birthplace of Mohammad, and Syria have recalled their ambassadors to Denmark.

FRANCE SOIR'S SELF-DEFENCE

Defending its decision to publish the cartoons, France Soir wrote: "Imagine a society that added up all the prohibitions of different religions. What would remain of the freedom to think, to speak and even to come and go?

"We know societies like that all too well. The Iran of the mullahs, for example. But yesterday, it was the France of the Inquisitions, the burning stakes and the Saint Bartholomew's Day (massacre of Protestants)."

Other European dailies printed cartoons mocking the row. Le Monde in Paris ran a sketch of a man whose beard and turban were made up of lines saying "I must not draw Mohammad".

Jyllands-Posten has apologised for any hurt the caricatures may have caused, but police said the paper's offices in Aarhus were evacuated on Wednesday evening for the second time in two days after a bomb threat. Workers returned after the all-clear.

Denmark says it cannot tell free media what to do.

Danish police said on Wednesday they had told the country's imams they were "highly aware of the risks of an escalation of the case, including the calls to burn the Koran, which these days flourish on the Internet and via SMS (phone messages)".

Hole-liday

Holiday is great isn't it? you get to sleep late, wake up late of course and just do nothing. Wait a minute, that's my life.

Doing nothing is great until it gets boring and you feel like you just need a little challenge. A little responsibility. Maybe a trip to the post office? Pay the bills? That's enough excitement for one day.

But boy do you have time to reflect on everything. If you have an anxious disorder like i do, when you reflect, you worry. When you worry you get anxious and you just want a way to stop the worries and the paranoia and shit. And if i was an addict i wouldn't need no other way for a cure.

For those who work and study, this holiday is probably a great one. Its a public holiday pile up. Chinese new year + awal muharaam + hari wilayah+ to hell with friday eh?.

Why not get on a bus and go somewhere?

Too bad going on a trip in malaysia costs a lot of money. There is no cheap option in travelling. Transpotation will cost you, accomodation will cost you also. Food bla bla. They're expensive. Its a sad thing for malaysian coz we can't even visit our very own places of interest especially islands coz the rate favour foreign tourists. Maybe because they bring in more money than domestic travellers. But thats just so fucked. It's like KLCC's toilet. They don't have a fucking faucet. They got rolls of toilet paper but no faucet. Oh wait...the faucet is situated inside the toilet. That is sick. I hate these double standards places where they treat foreigners as they are kings and queens. They care for a bunch of whiteys rahter than the 100000 millions of malaysians that need faucets.

Why? Because we were under the brits rule before indipendence. We are used to having whiteys telling us what to do. We use their system. Til this day. Whiteys are the more superior race then us because we let them be. That's just my opinion. Don;t get me wrong...I love everyone. I'm all for peace but i really despise those who look down on their own race and country. Don;t bring nationalism into this.

KLCC will never ever potray malaysia. It only potrays someone's dream FOR malaysia. It's a landmark to put malaysia on the map [period]. It has no sense of nationalisme whatsoever. I can never see why we should be proud of a tall building where most malaysians are down under it loitering. It is a majestic building. It takes my breath away everytime i see it. But still.... i can't see the KLCC in relation to its people. Does it mean we are a free and rich country. Is it a symbol of wealth? The stores are mostly boutiques. I can't afford nothing there. The movies are always full of people. The park? Teenagers, smoking and doing nothing.

If malaysia wins the world cup.... now that is something i can be proud of. 11 home bred malaysians kicking brasils, italians,frances ass and going on to win the word cup. Now that... i can relate.

If a bunch of kids from pahang who would grow up making such beautiful hypnotizing music where they would have concerts around the world? now that i can relate.

If a malaysian can stop the war. Now that i can really relate.

If we made our own car not to be smashed later in some sick car show and win a F1 thingy. that i can relate.

But so far..... we just have to be happy with a tall building. And nicol David. That is what malaysia can offer.

Malaysia is a beautiful country. Its really sad if we can;t explore malaysia while we can because of a limited amount of money. The government must do some thing about this. The tourism board should have somekind of rate for malaysians so we can afford a vacation to these beautiful places.

But somehow, its complicated. It is always complicated!!!. Everything in malaysia is complicated. Registering a subject at the faculty is complicated despite of those fancy state of the art computerize synchronization system they put up. There is so much fuss when dealing with the governemnt. Someone have to bitch to a tv station before having their problems fixed.
You have to fill out forms. You gotta have the formal letter. I have never heard of one people in my life who don;t complain about any one system being used. Systems have flaws. Flaws are there and meant to serve as a stepping stone for a better system. It seems they rather have us jsut go along with the flaws and the loophole in the system. And you wonder why people bribe?

Boarden our mind. Break free from the enclosure. Next time when you visit KLCC touch the thing and sorta ask yourself .... Malaysia boleh.... Kan?

Gizmo and gadgets: Low Yatt

My dad finally went out and bought a laptop for my bro at low yatt. I was out browsing at acers and asuses and Hp's dells etc .. and my dad and me finally land a compaq presario. It cost about 3600. And while i was there i couldn;t help but notice all the gizmos and gadgets being displayed. Oh boy, everytime i go to low yatt there is always something new. The computers are so far out with lotsa new shit. I think if you buy a computer at low yatt, it will be outdated seconds later.

And seeing how the chinese do business is really amazing. No disrespect to malays or indians but chinese are really at the forefront of businesses. When they do business they mean business. Its Chinese new year is tomorrow but they are still doing business only to shut their operation down at 3PM. And they really try hard to help you make a decision. I hate it when you are clueless and in need of help and somehow you are ignored or they look at you like you don;t have money.

And to business owner don;t look like you are desperate for money. Don;t push people into buying. Try and help us consumers make our minds up. For heaven sake, buying a computer is a fucking investment. Constant persuasion will only make buyers distance themselves.

But low yatt is still and always festive. Its like an indoor pasar malam selling thousand ringgit worth of computer stuff. I like it. I see girls going there (maybe the ptptn got something to do wit it) and getting themselves a laptop. And they don;t need boys to tag along with them coz making a decision and asking about stuff is really welcome at low yatt. MAybe i only sratch the surface of low yatt. I dunno the dark side of low yatt. Maybe there is cases like those i heard at petaling street. U know..... chinese gangs and triad and stuff. WHo knows?

Arsenal is playing bolton today. And they have injuries and some shit about resting key players. I hope they don't get murdered or worse slaughtered by bolton today.

On a sour note, star jobs really dissapoint me. There are no recent post that suit my qualifications. Oh well.

Ok...i;m going to watch season 1 of seinfeld. bye ....

hero

I'm downloading king kong. And i am not that much of a pro-hero kind of guy. Especially a hero with lotsa fur, nude with fangs. MAybe a hero is a teacher or someone like coach carter who really don't take credit doing smoething good. Anyway king kong is just a big big big ape.

Growing up, heroes are suppose to be cool. My first ever hero, michael jackson. Just because he can dance. The first ever musical icon that really influence me and made me look like a dancing fool when i was a kid. There was this indonesian kid named gali abangga or something who would buy anything related to MJ and i would come over to his house and be amazed. Now, Mj who was once my hero is now a free but once accused child molester. hurm.

beside having a child molester who can dance as a hero i bet almost all the kids in malaysia loves heroes who can kick ass. Who am i talking about? John Rambo, ARnold Schwarzenigeegerrereg and maybe gaban/suria perkasa hitam etc...Muscles, knife, guns, one-man-ass kicking fiesta and outrageous vehicle. Any kid who hasn't got involved in porn would go crazy for these things if they are screened on TV.

And later i would go for a real life hero who really made it big. MJ!..... NOt the child molester but the rich and famous michael jordan. He was like the idol of everyone in USA. HE was a real hero because he really won games by himself. If there was no one like him in the NBA i would probably not start playing bball. He was a kid's dream. But today, kids look up to skip and hot sauce and all the and 1 mixtape's playa. Oh well. Who need team work when you can dribble all the way to the hoop and make it count.

AFter a while i kinda look up to people like DR. M as heroes or anyone who really influence lotsa people like teachers etc. They're not famous or doesn't really contribute that much but at least they made an impact on me. And that is always the first thing a hero should do to you. MAke an impact.

But a hero really don't do good in real life. Coz that don't work in real life. U can't go all the way to the hoop all the time. Teachers can't make everybody sit and study. Dads can't always make sure his sons are 100% innocent. A great prime minister can't share his vision to the population. It can't be that ideal. Can it? Micahel Jackson was someone who i once considered a hero but i never knew the fact that his dad literally force him into singing and shit. And MJ?...The coach who led him to all the glory was P. JAckson. now head coach for the LA lakers. Who is now coaching kobe on how to be a goal-scoring hero i bet.

So i think there are heroes in this world. And they can't be heroes by themselves. They just can't. Unless you are big nude ape.

there is nothing actually

There is a lot to look out for in life. We want success, a good job, a nice life, a peaceful place where we can settle down and protect the things that we worked hard for. And we always thought that these things will bring happiness to our life. But maybe its not our script after all. And you realize happiness means having nothing attached. Getting everything done. Facing death well prepared. Then, silence.

A heart that's full up like a landfill,

a job that slowly kills you,
bruises that won't heal.
You look so tired-unhappy,
bring down the government,
they don't, they don't speak for us.
I'll take a quiet life,
a handshake of carbon monoxide,

with no alarms and no surprises,
no alarms and no surprises,
no alarms and no surprises,
Silent silence.

This is my final fit,
my final bellyache,

with no alarms and no surprises,
no alarms and no surprises,
no alarms and no surprises please.

Such a pretty house
and such a pretty garden.

No alarms and no surprises,
(Get me outta here)
no alarms and no surprises,
(Get me outta here)
no alarms and no surprises
(Get me outta here) please.

hope->try->fail->try->fail->try->fail->hopeless

This song really remind me of times that i tried real hard. But i was afraid of failure. Afraid that it wouldn't work out. But i want it so bad that i just went along with it. I dreamt about it so much. I really took it by heart and it was good for a while. Then suddenly it was the worst that came through and i realize that hoping for something and working hard for something really makes you feel fucked when you fail. Therefore don't wish anyone good luck cause i think it leads to bad luck. Try and try and try again until you're hopeless. go figure!

There is a place I’d love to go
Strangers takin’ me there
I dream about the day I learn to fly

I’m afraid of aeroplanes
Even though I act the way
That it feels to be a person in the sky

It’s alright
And it’s good
This time

I look out and on the ground
Really don’t believe it
Gravity can pull me from this height

One day we’ll come crashing down
What will I do
Never had a chance to say goodbye

Close my eyes and hope that it’s
A real smooth flight
This time
Close my eyes and hope that it’s
A real smooth flight

And it’s good
This time

I look down and on the ground
I look down and on the ground
I look down and on the ground
I look out, we’re going down

wishing you a prosperous and happy chinese new year

The chinese new year is next week. So i bet everyone working or studying would be happy to have some time off from whatever their doing.

I'm done with Curb your enthusiasm..finally. Larry david is one funny bald jew.



ARsenal lost to high flying promoted side wigan last night..(morning actually) by the away goals rule. So that sucked. It was a last minute goal that made the score 2-1. which means the aggregate was tied to 2-2 since wigan scored on the first leg. And today there was this thing on the sport section of the star which mentioned that thierry henry already made a verbal agreement to join barcelona in july. What the fuck? verbal agreement? He's negotiating with arsenal right now and he said its not about the money. Its about the club (arsenal) willingness to spend and bringing in more players and winning cups. I think arsenal won't be winning any cups anytime soon. Since he's 29 i think arsenal should sell. I think wenger is rebuilding arsenal and the team is in a transition to be again a big club. With the stadium and all. anyway... hope they get that vital automatic champions league spot.

dear failure,

ARsenal lost 1 - 0 to everton. And the jinx kept spreading and spreading and it spreads eventually to me.

I ... failed one part of my driving test. The road part ....not the parking shit part. I fucked and i failed. Its weird tho being a dude and failed. I mean all the other dudes successfully evade humility and manage to save money and time by passing both part. And they're all like trying to avoid making contact with me as if i have this failure disease. Maybe they thought i was so pissed and they don't wanna make me feel bad by telling me they passed and asking me how i did. But i was actually humbled and humiliated by the failure. Felt like a loser while waiting for the other part of the test and i know that it wont suck so much waiting if i passed the 1st part of the test. So this other guy eventually came up and talked to me. And i just try my best to make my side of the story looked like its not my fault and told him the road fucked me up. My very own failure theory....It is always my fault.

I was the only male failure of the entire driving school. The others are some desperate housewives, some just physically and technically incapable of driving and some just fucked up. And i was so ashamed that i was the only guy amongst the women who failed. It was so i dunno..... embarassing. Hahahaa. Well so what? i'll nail the test next time out. I just have to add sugar and swallow it like a man and hope the bitter taste of failure wont affect me next time.

But it was a sweet day for kobe yesterday coz he scored 81 points in a single game. How the fuck can a human being do such a thing in a basketball game? amazing. IT was crazy.

Hahaha...certainly i won't take my failure as if it is the end of the world but it sure ended my day and maybe the rest of the weekend. coffee!

clutch and all

Did anybody see the lakers versus the kings? how bout kobe huh? how can he score like 40+ and the kings still manage to walk away with a victory. Miller's buzzer beater to put the socre level really was something out of a comic. I love buzzer beaters. Especially those that ties a game.

Today's driving lesson invloves me driving in some highway near hospital putrajaya and i went as afar as balakong or puchong or something and ended up somewhere near the traffic light junction that lead to nizam nuri's house. chinatown i think is waht they call it. Anyhow .. highway is fun .. i get to use the 4th gear and the instructor was constantly snoozing so i did have a blast driving fast. 60km/h top. Gimme a break, that's fast for a kancil man. Next week i'll be having a pre-test before the actual test. I'm not too worried about it. I think anybody except anybody can drive. It's easy to be a driver but it ain't easy to be a good driver. I think malaysia has a hig rate of mortality, accidents road bully junk-driver etc. due to the system that produces these drivers. Myself included. As long as i'm not driven by speed or any substance that could influence my driving i'll be fine. Anyone can drive. But no one is a good driver.

My 125z needs a new tyre. It has this tear on its side and i think the tear will eventually cause my tyre to burst. The dude that replaced my tube said "awak kene tukar secepat mungkin" and i was like"tikar tube jer la dulu". SO that sucked. I don't want to be riding and suddenly bom! blood and all. No way. So i'm gonna ask dear daddy for financial support.

Congratulation to farah on her first interview. Go get em tiger!

Tomorrow i'll be at KL convention centre for a 3 on 3 game..hopefully gamessss. It start at 8am so i think its better i get there by motorcycle so i wont be late? LRT is also a good option but ... i dunno ... Wanna come and be the pom pom guy/gal?

mom's home. Oh man.... she don't bring no snack home. I'm hungry. GOtta go. Basketbol!!!!!!

call of duty

Ahhhh... still jobless. Was browsing at mines today looking at stuff. Wafi wanted socks. So i decided to tag along and just browse around. And at the BATA store there was this nifty slipper where the design was made by aceh kids. Yep .. the slippers sorta have this tsunami theme ... i think i'm gonna go get it. It's so cute and ... cool. Thought about getting some cheap jogging / cross-training shoes for basketball and jogging. I pity those who doesn't care about their body and take their health for granted. Hahaha. I'm trying hard to not be a typical fat malaysian. Our body is a temple ..... or something like that. Seriously.... when i get old i dun want to walk around or travel with any health restrictions or complications. Yep .. when i'm old i'll just travel and take lotsa pictures or just simply walk around buying souveniers.

Back on earth.

Ahhhh... still jobless.

Next week there is this 3 on 3 streetball thingy at KLCC. Wow.... i haven't been involved in a 3 on 3 comp for a couple of years. Ahhh... basketball .... that's the thing i want to still be doing when i'm old. Maybe get a coaching job somewhere.

Ahhhhh.. still jobless.

I've always wanted a drumkit. I am fascinated by the drums eversince i played the drums. It's the most satisfying instrument ever. Maybe when i can afford it i'll get one. I'll never stop drumming. Maybe i'll join my brother;s band. Afterall.. they need a drummer and i am in need of drumming.

SO what are YOU gonna do when you're old?

sarbat juice taste like ants

I've never felt like a fucking jerk ever. Well not for a very long time. But today when i was in the LRT i kinda gave this retard a "look". ANd the kid just shy his face away from me and i felt terrible. I tell you i should've apologize or something. It was not my intention to give him this "look". Its u know my flaw. It's this thing i cannot control and i think it's one of many factors that is affecting my social mingling process. I have this surprise look thingy that i do when i see something weird or surprising. u know like, u see a retard or ur friend taking drugs in front of you... shooting coke or marijuana in his body. The "look" is a result of my brain .... processing and collecting all the data, and it could not compute a suitable "look" for a given occasion and hence the "look". I know i was rude. The "look" is sorta a mixture of pity + judging + ridiculing + glad that u are not one of them look. The "look" is cruel. I am cruel and i hate myself for giving him the look.

But his mom was even more cruel cause she won't like ..... want to be near him. Well, I was looking from a safe distance and making my own assumptions. But i think his mom should u know .... tuck him between her arms coz it sucks when people stare at you. Oh fuck ...it sucks!!!. Especially when your flaw is dangling for people to see. Its paranoia taken to a whole new level.

When i look at e-mails containing graphic scenes of people getting their head chopped off or u know those terrorists short .wmv file movie that shows a hostage getting slaughtered or a terrible accident or any other graphic images or video..... i don't give a crap. It's just death. I mean shit happens. I mean death is like .. destiny. U can't do nothing about it. But when i was watching bersamamu i was like " damn it, why?!!!" i can't watch this shit. It's like oh man ... it's sad and it's so real ..... the show really makes u feel humble. Feel arghh ... i don't know ... and i would have the "look"the whole time while i am watching the show. I could only stand minutes before i switch channels.

I think it's only human to feel shitty if you cannot do something about something that really needed to be done something about. What the fuck am i saying? An example. U see a motorist having problems with his/her car whatever and u thought about helping. And your brain is like having a courtesy VS selffish-needs conflict wheteher tu pull over and help or get home ASAP so u can play basketball etc. And after u passed by... u feel like ... shit i could've done something. And the window of opportunity to help was slammed shut when u passed by him/her. And u'd feel shitty for the very least seconds before .... poof! back to your little world where everything is in order and no one is in no need of help. Just to make everything feel allright you'd go ... "oh she's fine .. someone will come by and help her " .. or .. "it's nothing ...". I dunno ... But that feeling sucks. I'm wondering if superman feels the same way? He can't save everybody .. can he?

The thing about us people is that in someway we feel comfortable in our own spaces. With Our own click and our own problem .. our own timeline until that we don't give a crap about nothing else ... other than those who actually relate to our space. It's like friends, family, someone u know and then ... that's it. That's as far as we would go to help. I think most people are..like that. I think i'm like that ... a little selfish ... insecure. .. and giving the"look" is not making things better ...

I can't think of 50 things i should really care about .... maybe ten ... or 15 but not 50 .. and that .. makes me a jerk ... ... today ... tomorrow this jerkish hangover would go away and everyting will be better ...

whatever .. i'm watching homegrown ...

I tried and i said " at least i tried" (not enough)

Well jobhunting was fun and erm... u know... exciting at first. But then, it started to get a little frustrating when reality start to have its grips on you. Its hard to get a job. That's the reality. Not with a 2nd class lower CPA. Not with no portfolio or anything that is credible to show for.

And employers in Jobstreet really doesn't care about me. My application didn't turn in any respond. The least they can do is say that i don't deserve their attention or something nicer. It's like i'm hopelessly waiting. Is it a yes or a no. It feels like when you are waiting for a bus for like hours and you want to just give up on waiting and take a cab eventhough it cost a lot more. But then you're like .... oh maybe 15 mins more .... and then the bus still didn't show up. And when it finally did... it's no use. You already missed the appoinment coz the bus is late. whatever. the bottom line is waiting for an answer sucks. hell ... waiting alone sucks. b ut i try to be patient. I can't expect i'm the michael jordan of the engineering industry where every company in malaysia wants at least a piece of me if not whole.

but jobhunting is an experience. I wouldn't trade it for anything. Maybe for a job. :)

Another experience that no one can forget is driving. Maybe you won't agree with me and say riding a bike or a motorbike. but that's childplay. Driving A car is the ultimate adult coolness thing that a kid could ever want. Until u realize the traffic jams, and the petrol is costing u a fortune that is. Anyway, my driving lessons is coming along fine. And i realize, people need a little push. Everyone does.

My driving instructor is always pushing me to .... u know ....do this perfect shift thingy with the gears. And i'm like .. dude, it's just the gear. Signal ... bla bla bla. But then i remembered how most of my friends would drive like they could insert a coin and have another go again. And how i wanted to be like that. So i just said to myself, learn the basics then drive like hell. So learn i did. The whole 3 point turn thingy, the mountain thingy but maybe tomorrow i'd do the parking. It's fun, driving. I don't want to fail and go through it again.

Finally finished downloading curb your enthusiasm season 1 - 5. I'm burning it into a DVD disc. This series is worth the hassle.

Got a basketball friendly this sunday. The basketball team that i'm currently on is called lil' pony. Sorta like hip hop meets carebear. Gangsta rap meets siti nurhaliza. lil' pony. That's whacked dude. I'm not arguing since it's not my team and what's in a name anyway? It's the team that counts. It would be cool if a pony kick ass wouldn't it. i hope ass kicking we will do.

The raya haji just passed. I was late so i missed the prayer. that sucked. well, that's all i have to say. Til later. sweet dreams.

Reference

Everyone has a dream. But none would like to be called a dreamer. To malays dreaming doesn't lead you anywhere. But following everyone else doesn't either. It only leads to a destination that you not by choice or by choice wanted to be. But dreaming, if you work on it, leads you where you want to "live". It made quotes like "live your dream" seems so true.

We all dream. The problem is we don't give ourselves much credit towards what we are dreaming about. It's always stupid to think about things that will never happen. Never? To me there's never a dream that don't come true, only dreams that was only dreamt but never got a chance to turn into reality . A dream should serve as a motivator. A dream is not an empty thought. It's an idea of a life worth living. A dream is only a dream when you say them but, life , if you live them.

One great thing about being young and healthy is the fact that there is this priceless thing we youths have which is called enthusiasm. It is driven by many factors. It is best driven by a dream. I know one day enthusiasm will be driven by obligations. By comitments. When that day come, i know once i had a dream. Once i thought of something so real that i could see it in front of my eyes. Once i wrote something about living a dream but i haven't got the balls to live them.

And i would give anything to have youthful energetic enthusasim on my side again.

I hope i get to where i want to be. The place where i always bitch about. The place where i dream of living. The dream.

Hmm, how about a bad dream? I don;t want to live in a bad dream. Can i do something about it. Of course. But how. You identify the source. wich is Fear. Fear kills hope. Fear serve as a wall between your dream and your reality. Those wall must go down. There would always be hope and you can bet fear always tag along. A good life is where dreams and reality co-exist to form a serentiy and a peace of mind where nothing limits you.

Enthusiasm is best driven by a dream. Fear is best driven by risks. Victory means conquering your fear. you can lose but win at the same time. You lost if you give up. losing is improving. Failing doesn't mean your inadequate. But knowing that you can win but you didn't because you don't do good enough hurts the most. And to conquer your fear you have to take risk. In fact, to live we take risks. I've taken risks and i've not taken risks. Those that i didn't take led me to regret. Questions like what ifs started to pop. I've got nothing to lose to start with. Why wasn't we taught risk taking at school?
Why are we so passive and dead? Why do we feel insecure and scared. Taking risk is a good exercise. It helps you get through life faster. Calculated risks of course.

Where do you see yourself in 10 years? 5 years? 1 year? 6 months from now? i know i'm no better then yesterday. And tomorrow will be no better. Choices are always there to be made. But i avoid choices. I thought gave up on nothing when there was something to strive for. That's the worst thing ever that could invade my mind. giving up.

I hate that my mind feels so confined where i could only dream of things. I hate the fact that life is a plastic mould that someone thought would be good for me. I hate the fact that i'm gonna live that life and be happy with it only to wake up 4 am in the morning thinking could i do better? I hate feeling locked up because i'm scared to take risk. I want liberation of the mind. I want to be shown the way.

I see what i want. But i can't touch it. I can't feel it. I can only dream of tasting it. I have it firmly in my grasps. But i can't feel it .sadly. damn it. How long can i lead this dream before it turned to a false sense of hope. give up now. Stop now. Stop now. Stop now.

It's easy. You are already free. Not making choices is freedom. Following is normal. Normal is what people are thriving for. Life is suppose to be average. Don't dream of what you can't afford. Dreaming is great until you wake up. You're lucky to be living in a system where to live you only have to follow. Why think? Just act. You have no choice. You have no options. Nothing good will happen to you if you dream. Hope is dangerous. Hope kills. Fear is normal. Being scared is normal. It's only human to avoid risk. AVoiding risk for your own safety. ENthusiastic about life doesn't mean you should neglect the facts of reality. Dreaming is a symptom of insecurity. Inadequacy only happens to those who knows but nevertheless tried and then failed. You don't have to dream. It stops here. DOn't fight it. It's easy. It's not wrong. Everyone is doing it. You don't have to struggle. You'll sleep soundly. soundly.

Wake up from your dream.

plastic life

last time out, i went to KLCC. Of course any ass would know those big twin towers in the heart of KL. I've been using the towers as lomo subjects many times. Anyway, i went with arip. We were on this road that really not many cars was on and it was sunday! Anyway, i got a glimpse of the towers from the front and i kinda got this full image of the towers and it's simply majestic. Got to parking and off meeting friends and stuff. Anyway, i was walking and browsing looking at stuff i need and want and they all seems to cost so much money. I have money in the bank but i got a basketball game and that will cost me, and i spent like almost everyday snooking. And i better start my driving lessons before my money runs out. Boy am i glad i don't smoke.

I hope i would get a job by february coz being broke sucks man. And this time around i'm dreaming and i still am about goin to mabul. arip was there when he was outstation, and he said it was great. and by looking at pictures of the island. damn it! it's so awesome. But everything, i mean everything has it price. Even KLCC's toilet cost RM2. I mean what the fuck? Do they substitute water with coke in there? Or have this cool toilet that you can just lay your ass and these toilet will massage your back and after you done shitting a butler would come and wipe your ass? I'm not paying RM2 to shit.

Being jobless made me so anxious. Anxious about working. Whenever i hear about people getting interviewed or someone landing some major job, i would get anxious. Coz recently my pal told me that the ministry of education would terminate the contract that paid me the studying fees. Which means that i cannot pursue the masters degree since there's no more contract. but on the upside i don't have to pay the ministry back. Unlike PTPTN, it's a loan. But it's just a rumor. ANyway, that would mean no guarantee of me studying again, which led me to the source of my anxiousness of not getting a job. No job no money. And without money, nothing goes.

Being jobless also turned me into a bum. I would wake up late, i mean relly late and then i would play NFS for hours and off to basketball. And i'm through with NFS so to avoid boredom i downloaded curb your enthusiasm. LIFESAVER! This series i tell you is in its own league. FUnny as hell. Funny is only half of it. The series sorta made me look at small insignificant things from different perspectives. It's in its 5th season now so i better start downloading.

ARsenal is playing MAN U this wednesday. Early in the morning. I started telling my MU supporting frens that ARsenal is gonna kick MU ass. Taunting and teasing their club is fun. I might as well talk trash now coz after the game i thinkMAN U would have the bragging rights. But they're playing at highbury and that is a reason to be optimistic. Well, if i ignore the fact that chelsea won 2-0 at highbury. go gunner.

So urm, how bout 2006? hope your're riding yours ... anxious free.

EAT DUST MAN U!

new year's eve

i was watching the NBA while surfing the internet when a bunch of religious driven people rang my housebell and started preaching sort of. ASking me to come along and join their program tonight.
It stopped my ecstassy.

These tabligh are mostly the source of uncomfort for those with a busy schedule or those with important things to do... well i bet 90% of them really excuse themselves and their time because we don't want people telling us we're bad people. we already know that. And when faced with these people who really wanted to help we feel insecure and suddenly we panic.

Owh faith. How mom and dad would love seeing us being spiritual and all. But the truth is we are so worked up with our problems that we tend to forgot. I would like to think that we sometime forgot. WE believe, we are not faithless and by far, faith has kept us bound from doing anything wrong.
Well Almost.

And a wakeup call for something like this is rather unexpected when you're hoping for someone to take you out celebrating new year tonight. It really got my brain cranking and change was the way to go at that time. I mean, i can't disagree to everything the dude says because its the truth. It's something that you don't say no or try to start a debate over who's right. They're always right. But my brain was trained to come up with an excuse when this sort of situation happen. And i always ... come up with a beautiful excuse.

Gotta play mr. guard-the-house coz mom and dad are out. What a good boy. I make my self sick sometime. But, you know you gotta drop it like it's hot.

So arsenal, 8.40pm, i'll be glued in front of the TV..... you know it. I do feel terrible and i hope i'd change. But hey, at least i answered when they rang instead of just staying quiet as if no one's home.

you know who you are :)

xxx-mas

merry christmas to all christians, i don't have that many christian friends, hmm.

anyway 2006 is just days ahead, and it's been a good year. And if there was an assesment on life, i would probably say i progressed. At least a little. i finished studying. that's a big progress.

but i'm sad to see some are still struggling, still clueless about themselves. Yes, we human tend to be ignorant. It's human nature. It's not deliberate. It's easier to just let things go rotten as long as YOU are fine. It's much better pleasing YOU then anyone else. It's easier to disagree on things you don't like rather then TRYING to understand it. It's easier to hide your flaws then to change it. IT's easy for YOU to ignore but it's sure as hell isn't easy for people who have taken a good beating on the matter to notice.

when we're growing up and entering these new phase that almost all early 20's kids will, we can't afford to shut our eyes to the harsh reality. i'm more insecure then ever. But i'm glad the delusion of people judging me all the time is slowly fading away. I guess i just don't care anymore. There are many things that needed sorting out. So when i meet, i'll greet. It's as simple as that.

once, when we're kids and innocent there's never this much options. They're either tora-tora or ding-dang. go to school or not. But now, the consequences of our actions go deeper than we ever imagine. It will fuck the next 20-30 years of our lives. But it can also make our life better. Options that could affect the lives of many. Options that could hurt. And you gotta choose based on your priorities. Not anyone elses.

Well almost the majority of those i know are in their early 20's. And it's a fucking crossroad i tell you. You can get lost. so lost that you have to live with it.

Next year (i hope) i'll start to live. For now, i'm as dead as a willow tree in autumn and i'm enjoying it. I'm right now living off things i love doing. Let those dreams and hope just float for now. I'm gonna get to it soon.

For those living their dreams and making things happen as time goes, good for you. If you're stuck, stagnant and not getting to where you wanna be, it's almost never the world or people's fault. you is always a big contributing factor.

bye bye 2005 :)

wow, i must say. sean penn is the only person that can look macho while suffering heart failure. that's the case in 21 grams.

like last days, the plot is quite simple with fucked time line. so, in order to fully understand the movie , audience must finish the movie. good movie. 21 grams.

last days is allright. it's inspired by the last days of kurt cobain. even got the kurt loader MTV interview thing near the end after blake blew his head away. poor artistic people. no one can understand their complex soul. do you have one? if you do, stay away from a loaded rifle and drugs. stick to music and everything would be allrite.

astro screened this cool romantick flick with rene zelweger and obi wan kenobi in it before 21 grams. ( i forgot the dude's name). its set in the 40's. it's quite funny. corny. but funny.

whew, i'm bored already. i'm gonna look for DVD's or wait for any cool movies that astro would screen. i'm downloading NFS most wanted. GTA san andreas is really pissing me off. the map is fucking huge.

ARSENAL NEWS

i am now optimistic about arsenal chances of progressing beyond the last 16 in the champ league after being drawn to real madrid.

well since arsenal and r. madrid both suck at defending at the moment the chances are 50-50.

but considering r. madrid firepower i won't be surpised if arsenal get knocked out of the comp.

anyway, i have faith in the squad and talisman thierry henry who is finding his form.

speaking of arsenal, sunday's game against chelsea should be a treat to watch. after all the mind games, both manager would not consider losing as an option. too much is at stake.

i'm going for an arsenal win. 1 -0. surely.

punk'd

Last sunday i went to jb for my friend's wedding. And it turned out to be some sort of reunion gathering. It's so cool to meet my old comrades from school. Everybody was there. well almost.

These past few days the kids at serdang are getting more into football. And we played almost every afternoon now.

considering about getting a job. maybe later.

ARSENAL lost 2 consecutive league games. the gunners are gunned! but not dead. they're still in the CL and the cups competition.

adios amigos

Good Morning

My vision was restricted
to some natural beauty
where some took for granted
but at 7.30 am this morning
i'm glad i was there
i'm glad god let me share

the long straight road remind me
of little kids who are so pure
sparkling as mineral water
as naive as those who had passions
only to realize they're just reasons
to gain attention

as i was worrying if i'll ever get home
i sing some as a relief
i put faith first cause i believe
even when sometime faith,
is the thing i constantly leave

when the signboard reveal what i wanted to see
i screamed within
to me its like i win
even if i don't know what or who was the competition

maybe when you hope
and it drives you
to some known destination
you would like to think
that you win.

as for resolutions
that could wait some more
cause i can never be done for
resolutions from before

en route

Glad to be back home. It took me 3 and a half hour of a back breaking motorcycle ride to finally reach my front gate.

Wow. I have to come up with something to do to fill my free time. I'm getting my driver's license. Yes, i don't have one. It's like a common thing for people to be driving. Back in the old days, driving is only for those who can afford it. Hmmm...So i'll be common and go for my driver's license.

Oh yeah, The graduation night went great. Met old buddies that has started work already. Some are driving big fancy cars. I'm happy for them. Happy to see them. Happy to see them be happy and finally got their shit work out.

Me and my buddy rambo presented a couple of songs by PADI and PETER PAN during the grad night. menanti sebuah jawaban and bintang di surga. Did some un-rehearsed gimmick. Half way through bintang di surga we messed up and stopped. Everyone thought we were doing some sorta gimmick but the truth was i fucked up because i forgot the chords and stuff. Big laugh from everyone. And later Rambo did some poetry stuff. It was fun.

Me and farah got this really nifty headphones with a mic attached so we could call eachother with YM!. And it was ok eventho the voice got stuck sometime. but still i could hear her and she could hear me. So that's cool.

I'm planning to get me NFS most wanted because from what i have seen the game rocks! shit...
and maybe format my Pc coz my PC annoys me these past few days. I know its not its fault. it's infected with some sort of virus. don't worry PC. I'll format u and later we'll be shifting perfect gears and having lotsa fun with racer chicks.

I really am hoping that i'll be accepted for the masters program at KUiTTHO later next year. I'm gonna visit KPM and ask them personally the procedure concerning my case. ASk them about how i can appeal so i'll be accepted. What's the channel to go through and stuff.

When i think about it, i was at fault for fucking up my own acceptance. I could've at least gotten the minimum allowed CPa to get accepted. During those jahiliah days as i would like to call it, i was drowning with too much money and too much time. And i was lucky not to be kicked out cause that would really fucked up my already fucked up situation.

Like the sand in the hour glass so is the days of our lives?

adult entertainment

it's been raining almost everyday and it made me wonder if it would rain .... when umm ... i ride my motorcycle back home next week. 300 fucking kilomteres on a motorcycle. its gonna be a back breaker for sure.

nothing's been happening much. i'm still doing brainless activity. playing games, watching movies.... just stuff. boring stuff actually.

started on my resume but there are still some blanks to be filled. not that enthusiastic about work. i was really looking forward to further my studies but my CPA is really fucked so........ i guess....my chances of being accepted is close to ZERO....which leaves me no option but to take my chances looking for work. but hell, i'm not giving up on the futher studying shit. i'm gonna beg if i have to.

about the looking for work thing.... i'm just gonna try and enjoy going to interviews (if i get any). i;m under contract which in it state that i must work for the governemtn for 7 years and finish doing my master of education degree. so i got nothing to lose but knowledge, experience and money.

if i do get a job i'm gonna work hard and earn some money. i owe it to my parents and my self.

desperate housewives is getting more and more exciting. more suspense.

i'm gonna 'apply' for my driving license when i get back. to those who still doesn't have a legitimate driving license can come and join me. stop being a vigilante (?). drive legally.

so this is it.

it only gets weirder and weirder. to me, life don't get harder.... it gets weirder. it gets wilder. as you grow ... you would like to think that our mind would grow as well but some people become more fucked up as they're growing up. their way of thinking is not those of a grown up. sometimes they can't even find the rational in things. they get more selfish that's for sure. more greedy perhaps. more obsessive. the desire to quench their thirst for attention is multiplied. winning is more important than having fun, bla bla bla.

there are some things that i have to start getting use to because the world is full of weirdos. i might as well be one. but that's just me. what do i know. i'm losing rational my self. i guess 2 weeks of doing nothing gives you that effect.

so as far as today, i came up with the ingredients that make up an adult.

1. work
2.money
3.car
4.tons of responsibility
5.loved ones (wife etc)
6. faith

but i really would like to put buying a drum set after 2. or put further my fucking studies before 1. or visit an island somewhere near nepal and snap load of pictures between 3 and 4. however...... basically..... if you don't have them, its allright.

enthusiastic about being an adult?. adultery. why do they call it adultery? only adult commits adultery. adult entertainment. why do they call it adult entertainment? because only adult entertaint themselves that way (?). being an adult is over rated.

its the same song all over again.

ah shut the fuck up ... grow up. get a job. grow a moustache. buy a neck tie and start sending out your resume because they're not waiting for you to grow up.

on a completely different topic ............................ mosquitos are such mother fuckers.

ah fuck! these mosquitos are having a fucking feast. why the fuck do they love my legs god damn it. ah shit! don't they have other people to bite. other blood to taste? i'm fucking thin. i need all the blood i have.haha ..yeah motehrfucker.... i got one. hahha.. you blood sucking piece of shit. .

i can't take this anymore. i'm outta here.

harry smokin potter

finally the exam result are out and i passed , and after that farah and me went for harry potter, damn good movie, its out of this world. and the trailer king kong also got me all excited, can't wait to watch that god damned big furry monkey fighting with dinosours and destroying light aircraft while clinmging to the empire state building.

till later,

anyone got time and money? let's just fucking go, ok?

i wanna see that thin line where the sky and the sea meet
i'd be there standing on my own two feet
and say "this is all worth it" and glee
for i am having an affair with the sea

i want to see the sand, the greens
i want to hear the wave scream
salt my body like i need some cream
forget about all those wannabe pimps
i'd include you in my dream

i'd put image on paper
i'd constantly wipe my tear
i'd pay with money
i would need some company
whoever it'll be
we're gonna see
we're gonna have
an affair with the sea

join me
waste yourselves
be ignorant while you can
be still
and hope that it's bliss you feel
because that's what you get
by having an affair with the sea

blood in blood out

An epic story of three brothers. Bound by blood. Divided by fate. Driven by destiny.

This movie depicts the gang wars in Californian jails during the 1980s. The half-brothers Paco and Cruz grow up together with their cousin Miklo in one of the lesser districts of L.A. When Miklo more or less accidentally kills another guy in a gang fight, he has to go to jail in St. Quentin, where he soon starts a career in a drug connection. Meanwhile Paco joins the police and returns to the district as a determined officer in the vice squad. When Miklo is released on probation after 9 years, but keeps working for his gang, he soon clashes with Paco.

HAHAHA

Some not too smart gangsters decide to rob a bank. After several days of planning they agree on the best plan. The next day they get to work and are able to get into the bank relatively easy thanks to their planning. Once inside the main vault they discover one wall is full of safety deposit boxes and start to work on them immediately. They drill and pry open the first box only to find a small container of vanilla pudding inside.

The Head Gangster says, "Okay, well, at least we can eat it." So they eat the pudding. They drill and pry open up the second safety deposit box and there sits another pudding. They decide to devour it too.

Determined to find the goods, the process continues for the rest of the night until all the safety deposit boxes have been opened. They didn't find any money or jewelry in any of the boxes. Disappointed the head gangster said, "Well, at least they left something for us to eat."

The next day, while listening to the news they hear:"Yesterday the largest SPERM bank in the USA was robbed by an unknown group of people....."


Three men went to hell. The devil said to them "You have come to hell, and you must now choose whether to spend eternity in room 1, 2 or 3" He then opened the doors to the three rooms. Room 1 was filled with men standing on their heads, on a hard wooden floor. Room 2 was filled with men standing on the heads, on a cement floor. Finally, room 3 had just a few men, standing in shit up to their knees and drinking coffee. The men thought for a while, and decided to go with room 3, as it was less crowded and they could drink coffee. They entered the door to room 3 and just as it was closing behind them, the devil said "OK men, coffee break's over. Back on your heads."

It's like when it's near christmas and then suddenly all of these christmas movie started screening. So moviegoers who is in the mood would watch it. I dunno... just randomly guessing. It's about soccer and like all sport movies of course there'll be underdogs making it big, dreams, all that hope/dream/shit.

Wow! Desperate housewives season 2 is getting more and more interesting. I've only seen it up to episode 2. There's a new neighbour who just moved in.

The fasting month is here again.

I was chatting (YM!) with zaidi AKA ayah pin's right man, and we were discussing about the fasting month and then out of nowhere, the end of the world.

quote

xdi: tp nk dekat bulan ramadhan ni akan berlaku gerhana matahari ngan bulan
xdi: gerhana matahari dh berlaku
xdi: bila gerhana bulannye?
unquote

No one knows if its true or not.

Anyway, i hope during this fasting month, people around the world including the non-muslim could respect ramadhan and stop bombing or killing each other. I mean, not that you should do so during any other month.

Remember, don't eat too much when its time to break your fast.

Assalamualaikum and Happy fasting. :)

week-ender

During the weekend i visited cameron highlands. It felt air conditioned all the time. In addition, it was raining which makes me shiver even more. The visit of the brinchang peak promises a great view but, the frog formed after the rain limited the viewing experience. So we were left looking at fogs and telling the little kids we are currently inside the clouds which i also believed.

The tea plantation was awesome though. The view was cool. But the only tea i drank was on sunday at maulana, serdang the next day.

Me and my dad also discussed about flowers at the flower / strawberry farm. we both no nothing about flowers hehehe. Ate some strawberry and i dont fancy it that much. But pretending to know about flower is cool.

THe fasting month is around the bend and muslims throughout the world i bet, couldn't wait for it. I know i can't, it's always great. People are less rude to each other and so should i.

GEt me some sleep and then off to parit raja again to resume business as usual.
Good luck people!

It's so slow today. Been at home all day studying for the afternoon's quiz and of all the time of the day, the lecturer picked 6 pm which is when i always out playing football or basketball. And i think the weather today is just terrific for sporting activities. Today's quiz was totally testing my maths. I think if i manage to pass the math part i can at least solve the questions. it's not my day.

#2

A friend of mine asked me to pass him his convo photos. He works near Raja Chulan Monorel station. So i think, straight from pudu i'll walk to the monorel station pass him the photos then off to KLCC. I've been obsessed with leather straps. And with money, obsession can become possesion. (?) Just hope i wont get lost. Once i took almost half an hour to get to KLCC frm SG Wang. How dumb is that?

Load the camera with film. Maybe i'll snap my pal's face when i meet him.

I'm taking my hard disk home with me so i can copy the FMA anime.

Chelsea Vs Liverpool. My verdict? The best liverpool can manage is a 0-0 draw. The best chelsea can manage? 3-0. If both teams play it safe, a 0-0 draw is certain. But i think mourinho is still upset over the way he lost to liverpool during last years champ league semi-finals. And with their confidence level sky high, i can see them winning today. I want to see them lose. Not because i hate chelsea, its just i want them to lose.

I underestimate the power of paint by suggesting that features like rotating an image or changing its format could be done by a more sophisticated image editing software.

SORRY PAINT.

I know it's the digital era and i agree, but i really love this cat pic taken by an analog camera.

Speaking of analog. I also have a picture of analogxwound which looked totally cool. very very lomo. Sounds gay? you betcha!

Erm, i'm heading back to serdang since my test which was supposedly held on friday got postponed due to some mishap to a student in our class. Hope he recover fast.

I've been reading. And opinions on some blog-posts do count. Really they do. Maybe you're the kind that would just scroll and read some and look at the pictures and say hey nice blog and then comment... but some people do make them count.

But it's all good. Everyone is entitled to their opinions. It's cool. I like those provoking posts on some blogs where they anticipate for some readers to be provoked. Like afdlin shauki's. I like his. And my friend's thoughts on their blogs. And the comment;s overwhelming. It's cool actually. But those with pictures are even better don't i think? i mean don't u think? i like pictures. Who do we write for anyway? for ourselves or for the readers? Sharing our thoughts or trying to brew some sort of reasonable doubt on people's mind or maybe simply try to feel like buddha-on-top-of-a-mountain? hahaha.

When things get mis-interpreted, that's when its all fucked. You don't know how thick skinned people are on the net. It's unbelievable. They can write like 500 words full of the-glass-is-half-full-perspective-crap and confident that no one would ever read it but then there this one person who would really get worked up. If you don't agree and think it's dumb why bother dude?

It's easier to write than blurt shit out of your mouth. That's why people blog. At least that's why i blog. Cause you can express shits without ever looking eye to eye. At the end of the day, it's just some 500 words of pure genius from me but 500 words of crap to you and the rest. It doesn't matter cause it's MY opinion and thoughts. Get over it dude. Friends know it's crap and they won't bother but the other half would simply use it as some reason to get back at the author. Don't hold anything against it. please.

If my friend were writing some 500 words of crap i think i'd think its cool. It makes them less shallow.Cause it ain't easy talking deep shit with people. Right or wrong, at least we could see where they stand on certain issues.

There was once this fellow bloger who have blogged for years and would look back at previous posts from like 2-3 years back and see if some things changed. Just like a picture album where you can see you when you were little, and then when you first visit a waterfall at age 13 or your graduation pics 10 years later. The transition. (What ever happened to the nice boy?) but with pictures you can only see physical changes rather than some more deepshit stuff like how are you thinking or your view on the world and people around you at that age.

Full of sentimental shit, i know.

If you have read this far, good for you.

It's true that the pen is mightier than the sword but trust me, my pen is shit. So don't go and do some stupid stuff like take my post seriously.

As i've mentioned earlier, it takes two to tango. But i don't dance, if you feel my drift. Cause i'd lose and losing sucks.

again...full of shit ... yeah .. i know.

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaanyway.....to some more totally irrelevant note, Farah scanned my lomo pics upside down and save it as a bitmap format. So one pic is like 1.22 MB and lomohome only allow 500kb worth of storage. Any idea on how to resize and readjust the orientation of the pics. Adobe photoshop can do those shit rite? hahaha. i'm such an ungrateful bastard. i should acknowledge her hardwork of scaning some blurry pics of mine and yet i can bitch and moan about it.

The whole world is waiting for the debut of kota(e)k-man. Sick creative people are my kind of people. I bet it's gonna be mind-blowing. I need details. Is it a movie? or just some sort of comic strip?

To everyone, god luck with whatever you do. Don't hold anything back. Go for it!

no surprises

Seems like birthdays are just some measurement of how long you've been around. Some say it's just some kind of measurement of how far have you gotten in life. OR, how underachieved you are still.

Well to me, it seems like i've been spending my 23 years on education. From pre-school, to elementary/secondary school and then to further study. At my age, some are married, working, dead etc. So it's not quite true to say that i'm underachieved at my age but i'm also not that far in life. Still living off mom and dad, no real asets.

Well age is certainly NOT a measuring stick for how mature you are. That's for sure. So does education. I don't think smart people are wise people. I don't feel like 23 years living and studying or qualifies me to judge anyone. It's not fair for me to say that your job suck, or your relationship is messed up or you are so stupid. because maturity comes from experience. And i just think if you have experienced a lot and mature through those experiences then you could probably have a say. But i bet it will come out right. For example, it wouldn';t sound like an insult when someone who work as a CEO tells you that your job sucks or, someone who is married with 17 children says your realtion ship suck and you don't deserve him/her bla bla. Who are we to justify saying all those things when we are just 20+ and haven't seen or experience anything real yet.

I always grasp this concept of you should take responsibility of your action AND what you said. If i say something and i know it;'s wrong i think it will save a lot of time if i be responsible and apologize or correct what i've said instead letting my ego side take over. But it's not so simple. It's not a piece of cake. We are also responsible for our dignity which where our ego lies. Would you apologize to your enemy if you're wrong. That's where responsible took over a whole new meaning. Responsible of saving our face. Multiply it by 2 (it takes 2 too tango), and you'd probably have few of stalemate arguments. Being responsible is hard. ITs harder when you reach that time and age where your responsibilites are not only your own but others. And you have to be prepared to be responsible of actions of others. Can you dig it?

When i was little i really wanted to grow up quickly so i can have money and be super cool. You know how it's like when you were in school and you wanted to be a policeman or gaban just for the sake of coolness. But now, come to think of it, i want to be in that moment where you're on your own doing cool stuff with out the burden of responsibility. Like when you're on a vacation, but not with your mom and dad (when you're little) or when you have to cut short your vacation coz you have to show up for work on mondays(when you're all grown up) but when you can like for example, lay naked on the beach all day long without ever having to think about anything. I know i have moments like those. And wouldn';t it be cool if those moments are looped so i can hold on to that feeling forever. Dream on.

I've been thinking about my life blueprint. And i think i need to re-sketch it. Its not as simple as *school>work>get rich>marry>kids>get closer to god>die* anymore. Hurm, but we'll never see the big picture, so why bother rite?. **maybe i'll stick to the basic malaysian life's blueprint and be a mold product of a proud malaysian. And then bitch about prices/tolls/fuel and shit going sky high.

to those who wished me happy birthday , thanks, to those who didn;t next year u still can. A very special thanks goes to farah just because she's special. :D

**maybe not all malaysian are living like that. but a lot are. Its easy but, its sorta like the matrix. routine and shit. i've gotta stop this dreaming because i know the only way for me to get through for my next birthday is to follow the so called blueprint.

en. nizam nuri, as promised.

this is the best i can do. right now anyway.

city of god

the list of the must-watch movie continue to grow with its newest addition, City of God. its probably one of the best based on a true story movie i've ever watched.

Set on the mean streets of a Rio de Janeiro slum (in the "Cidade de Deus" housing project), this film follows two boys who grow up down differing paths (stretched across over 15 years, from the late 1960s to the early 1980s). One, Buscape (Rodrigues), becomes a photographer, the other becomes a drug dealer. The film follows their paths through a series of short stories, as we learn about the violent, often short lives of those wrapped up in the dangerous world of drugs and crime on Brazil's cruelest area.
Genres: Art/Foreign, Drama, Thriller and Crime/Gangster Running Time: 2 hrs. 13 min. Release Date: January 17th, 2003 (LA/NY). MPAA Rating: R for strong brutal violence, sexuality, drug content and language. Distributor: Miramax Films (picked up at Cannes)

anyway .. its confirmed. the test is gonna take place on the 1st of november. that sucked.

I'm just thinking out loud here, so it's just my opinion and dumb thoughts. nothing more ...nothing less.

i'm thinking about people. me and you. us and we. them. and there was this guy who i thought was okay but turned out to be a total ass. so as i am trying to be more trusting to people, he kind of made me think that people don't deserve that much trust.

i'm not gonna tell what this dude did coz i'm no natural rat, but what he did sure provoked some negative emotions from people.

so as i'm observing (?) the evidence of what this dude did, i was shocked because i really thought he was an okay son of a bitch. that for one, showed that i can't rate people at first glance. so now i kinda have an idea on what this dude is all about.

it's a simple case of knowing what to share with people. and for this dude, he doesn't know what should be shared and what should be kept to himself. i've seen many people kinda just shoot off they're filthy mouth, bad mouthing people, mocking this and that. and sometime i kinda listen to it and i thought to myself "does that need to be said?".
maybe i'm too sensitive about it. maybe he meant it as a joke. but if the joke's on you, it's not a pleasant thing to endure. does this guy deserve my trust? heck no.

:D, i know for a fact that making people feel bad or shitty is just some distraction so we won't be the one getting laughed at. so we'll just shoot to kill before we get shot. u know what i mean? it means that weak people use other weaklings as their shield. strong people don't need no shield because they don't get bothered by mocks or taunts. they're not afraid of who they are ...or... maybe they're actual saints. strong people deserve our trust and they are a bunch of your loved ones and your true friends.

weak? i'm weak. you're weak too. you know it, but maybe it's better no one does. because it's scary if someone found out you're uncapable of things. no one wants to be weak.that's just natural. it's like the law of nature or something. you can accept the fact or u can run away from it. the faster we accept the fact that we're weak the faster we imrpove and move on. we should work on it. not use some weakling as a target so well get off the hook. weak people don't trust others that much cause they're afraid of getting hurt.

another thing that bother me most? this so called people who rate highly of themselves. they don't have to say it. but we can sense it from them. like troy dyer of reality bites. who always think he knows the world and he always justify all his weaknesses. it's hard to find anyone humble this day. people always have something to brag about even though they don't know they're doing it. these people take pleasure in knowing that they are not one of them victims/sheeps/whatever/people just because they're taste in things are different which in turn makes them special. but are they? special? nope. its just an excuse so they'll feel better. do they feel better though? nope. it's funny actually. the more they think that they're special the more they are shutting themselves from others. the less they gain.

i am through hthinking about this dude and how i thought he could've been my friend if i were to get to know him better, i know that he probably thought the same way about me. maybe not. but if he did, i won't trust him.
