USM revisited

Hmm...let's see...went from Jitra with lots of memories...Yalar, ur best fren's wedding and ur involved right from the start of akad. Kahwin dah mamat tu...the best thing was....Jeng je jeng!!!!
Fizah even joked that both me and Tanko were di kenen kan with Fahi's sister and Fizah's sister for me...wink wink! Fuiyooo...that wud make us ONE BIG HAPPY FARMILEEEY...hehehhe...sometimes ur mind does wander. Tak kisah lah, getting married is not in my wishlist for the next 5 years...What i really want is a digital camera(will be purchased tomorrow), Mizuno Wave/Nike Pegasus to replace Zoom Miler (Lokey)...can even run with Alan(my brother),yay!!! I managed to influence him into running..As for the shoes, I'll wait for any Mega Sale la...much more cheaper, bearing in mind that I want a good running shoe...somehow it must be expensive...

After Jitra, we turun ke Penang naik bas. Travelling with frens pun syiok jugak, me, tanko n Mat Ki. Kitorang siap naik feri, pusing2 USM (alma mater) naik motor,hehehhe...siap tangkap gambar lagik...U knoe the place gives me lots of memories lar...right from my studies, my frens, main bola, we even went to our former hostels, not to mention sental Nasi Kandar Pelita twice that day....Haiyaaa, me osso need my dose of curry. We even simulated a 'run-away-from-Pak Guard' thingy...So, that night chalo back to KL...

Next week ada family day (my mums side) at Kelantan, Bachok to be exact. Will go one day earlier as Fahi's bersanding on the 2nd...tomorrow will buy bus tickets...hehehe...another attempt at wooing Fizah's sister...at first I thot nothing la...but no harm in trying eh?

You'll Never Walk Alone....

As much as i hate this...i had to congratulate Liverpool with their amazing 'comeback'...against team abang aku plak tu...n i thot they were finished after Maldini's goal..Arghghghg....actually aku tgk kat kedai mamak.After halftime, balik office la nak settlekan things. At the same time I sent SMSs to Najeeb, Uncle Man, Tanko, n suma2 member Liverpool fans...n u knoe what?Suma balas balik: 'excuse me?3-0 ka?'...check balik score...I was perplexed, pahal plak ni.?Takkan equalise plak ni?siot...my heart raced....balik umah cepat!!!!!tgk2 tu dia dok ada....3-3.Shit.Smacked me right on the forehead.Anyways, congratulations. Too bad Everton got the 'coveted' 4th place. To Stevie Gerrard, ur always welcomed at Old Trafford.Wanna wear number 16?can..number 8?Rooney'll use number 9...SIGH.If only la yek?

Oh ya...I ran again yesterday...hehehe...6K woooo...eventho pusing track jer...it felt DAMN good man!!!(alamak lagu Keane yg iklan TM tu berkumandang la plak)....At first nak buat biasa jer..then i thot, what the hell do i have to lose sommore? so hentams la...slow jer...relaxed stride, with ppl sharing the same interest. Old couple, young couple, solitary runners, makcik bawak anak...life is good if you can focus on the sunny side of it...S-I-G-H, it felt good, with hujan renyai2 skit, awan cummulonimbus beropol2 above you...angin sepoi2 skit...kena beli kasut baru la because bangi 10K and Subang 10K coming up...i'll call it 'startup' race. We do have short term n long term aims aight?Those 2 are my short term ones...

Exhilarating.Enuff said. Tonite im going back to Alor Setar to attend Fahi's wedding.Kawin jugak yek?Congrats, u guys stuck together no matter what.Im leaving you with this song. Aku memang teringin gak nak nyanyi lagu ni kat Anfield. The anthem has this 'eerie' substance in it.Substance that pushes you.Too bad im from Salford.Kwang kwang kwang....

You'll Never Walk Alone

When you walk through a storm
Hold your head up high
And don't be afraid of the dark
At the end of the storm
Is a golden sky
And the sweet silver song of a lark

Walk on through the wind
Walk on through the rain
Tho' your dreams be tossed and blown
Walk on, walk on
With hope in your heart
And you'll never walk alone
You'll never walk alone

Yoda

Yesterday i went to see Return of the Sith, or is it Revenge of the Sith? teringat when i was small, baba bought me R2D2 and Chewbacca action figures from Singapore...those days it was clever to do shopping in SG because currency cheaper...Heheh...din knoe R2D2 was equipped with flamethrowers as well as minyak hitam...But now we knoe why Yoda IS the master among Jedis aight?Lompat2 tunggang terbalik kalah acrobat..But personally I wanted to witness all the dogfights and the spaceships but not enough la like Empire Strikes Back..with Joe Lando sommore...Teringat my fren ada Millenium Falcon, jeles gila...siap gantung kat ceiling...

Speaking of Empire, Darth Vader's appearance was very brief, and kelakar to me..why?because we were shown that Darth Vader was powerful,sinister sommore...kaki kudung baru padan muka...Heheh...Eddie must be laughing nengok adik dia kudung kaki..(are there any relations batween Pearl Jam and Star Wars anyway?)....dahla suara tak sama macam dulu..guna suara James Earl Jones kan?But all in all, reminded me of my childhood la...oh ya...anyone wver watched Thumb Wars? A spoof of Star Wars using painted thumbs as SW characthers....We have Oobi Duba Kedoobi (Obi Wan Kenobi) and others...hehehhe...after this me want to watch Batman Begins with the 1st ever Batmobile kuno giler...

Yesterday I did one hell of a run...I called it lepas geram run...jogged around the track like nobody's business...sommore Azwar and NST were promoting their Nike Free and barefoot running...I tried to lari w/o kasut...hmmm...it seems the impact is towards the knees...good idea, strenghtening the unused muscles...terpulang la, Nike is marketing their products with facts and datas...Run was good, and after that I browsed thru my training log, sedey wey!!!! about 3 months of blind running...takde proper training...tsk.I guess it's back to the drawing board...kena gak try for PJ Half and Singapore Mara...

Better luck next season Man U...Drop fergie, roy keane and ull be blessed..strikers are adequate,defence needed a partnership in the middle...with trustworthy rightback, left back was a good buy.The only good buy since 3 years ago...I dunno, even Kelly Holmes is a Charlton fan..hehehe...

So sudah ada tagboard finally...will put pictures nanti..kasik kaler2 skit...

Shah Alam Stadium

:) Been a while since tengok bola at Stadium. The last one would be @ Batu Kawan, Penang between Penang and Sarawak. And tonite was between Selangor n Singapore, veterans and current crop of players. U would have thought the current players game wud be interesting? Non, por ke non? For the Selangor Veterans, we have Soh Chin Aun, Santokh Singh to name a few. Spore had Dave Lee, Malek Awab, too bad K Kannan n Sundram Moorthy tarak, or else I wud have sang the Kedah FC anthem...heheh...'peminat-mati-keras' of Kedah. Haiyoo, even Fandi Ahmad pun laju nak mampus...scored a goal i rasa la...

U knoe in those days bola was played out of sheer passion, for the country. Even Mokhtar Dahari cycled to the padang. (dahla jauh, lalu my house plak tu)...Then match between latest players ok la...I caught a bug, so selesema la....got firewerks...the closest I could get to a firewerks display...Syok wooo, even tho the pace has gone oredi, skill tu masih ada. Ada one time Soh Chin Aun back flip to an overlapping defender...pergh...gue nak main futsal weh!@!!!

But it was like everyone came and filled the stadium, penuh wei! Lower tier penuh, some left for upper tier...SIGH...If only Malaysia played well....dah la ada frenly with Singapore not too long.

Skang ni we can safely say Fadzli will be back with a bang!!!! He can start training as usual while waiting for some uncertainties...SIGH, u win some, u lose some...But FYI, my Zoom Miler punya air pocket pancit belah kanan, so tak aligned la my stride...thinking of buying a NEW pair of shoes..Pro Specs anyone?hehehhe....Me got ample time to window shop...then to think about more important things...heheheh...just wanna get out of neighbour's faces....maleh nak menjawab... Dahla just browsed pm1's blog, Penang Bridge Run in August?Hopefully la...syiok woooo.....Next Thursday ada Family Day at Kelantan, kat one pantai ni...Mau beli digital camera to snap pics there...

Futsal anyone?

I'm toasted...roasted...baru balik ofis ni....ada hal ngan budaks ni...i had to submit report to boss...Ne'ermoind...esok at least ada housemate baru...rashid, dpt keje kat puchong...shift gak..ha elok lah tu... sama2 sengal...hehehe...at least rashid ni jenis buat lawak jer manjang..we were housemates before at USM...

Anyways, baru pergi tengok Fahi main futsal with PTD frens kat Bangi...macam kanak2 riang jer tengok...i missed those days la....main bola gelak2 pounya style. Dah skang ni request lagu kat CC suruh main Incubus - Summer Romance....jazzy to the bones la!!!!!

Alamak...dah 9.54pm...i need my beauty sleep...

Man U bought by an American

Business purpose?Hopefully they dun lose the star players...Ferdinand to Chelsea?Ronaldo to Real?Maybe Heinze to Inter? That guys got money, so no problem for him...Today is angah's birthday...Happy besday,no wonder the whole day I felt funny...since early morning teringat tarikh tu pebenda....sorry la terlambat wish,you are a good sister besides Atin and I still want to hear your laughs when I buat lawak buduhs....

Hmm, gambar masa Lumut dah kuar...you can see my 'I-should've-entered-the-fucking-race' face....hehehe...wait aaaa till I get my TIME back...Everyone's having a blast with their reports...congratulations to all...may you'll better your time, achieve your aims....

Ngantuksnye....baru abih makan dinner kat Bdr Baru Bangi..It's tough to manage ppl I tell you...everything else is GOOD but you have to be tactful to handle even 4 to 5 workers under you....Everyday pray to God to protect my operations and meself...life's a bitch but ni need to moan..I heard Saturday is Wesak Day so hopefully get to cuti...want to watch Man U vs Arsenal...ciao

Last week we audited those stations and guess what?The probs kept rising...I wonder how...We have a polis to monitor all our wrongdoings...our EYES la...Heheh...It's all about managing ppl...I think I must buy all those self help books from Stephen R Covey, Deepak Chopra, Paolo Coelho (ring a bell?)..and the likes...I guess it takes talent and practice to be managers...susah la wooo...nak jaga anak orang ni..I'm the kind of 'hands-over-shoulder' kind of mentor, but my office is where you have to SERGAH macam anak hanjeng...aku pun banyak kali kena sergah...BOO!!! ARRGRGGHGHGHG!!!!!!!

So here I am, nak balik umah from cc dah ni....tomorrow wnt to mintak cuti for Fahi's wedding this 28th...aku nak mintak 27th cuti la....banyak masa leh lepak Alor Setar...reminisce some time...gue skola kat Teknik Alor Setar, memories lagik...So today I rant about nothing,except maybe i miss my running.again. get a life you bugger.Nak tido..ZZZZZ

MMDS Lumut 2005

Me finished werk at 6.15am and outside there was a lot of commotion. SONY staffs are having their family day at Lost World, Tambun that day itself and me off to Lumut....Last week, on Thursday work was good...I felt I stood for something i did right...takde la takut2 sangat..takpe,all's well ends well...

So balikla to Melawati, along the MRR2 i had at least 4 times of microsleep. U knoe where ur eyes are open but u seem to doze off until u mau langgar someone? Ishhh...scary stuff man...I could end up in hospital, or worse..Atas motor, I SMSed Baba, suruh everyone siap2 mau breakfast..Sampai umah je Angah n Atin tido lagik...malehla..terus breakkie with parents...Then naik bas,I dozed off macam kayu balak until sampai Lumut...

Lumut's a laid back neighbourhood, no traffic jams, etc...Tanko and Haris register, everyone with their bikes la...and what the hell im doing here not participating? Nanti i'll pujuk my uncle to be the rider in MY team plaks...So im the photographer la today..siot..gatal kaki jugak la nengok everyone with their gears...

Organising was ok, team derang pun ok...me and tanko even gatai pegi Pangkor...naik feri and what have you...tapi sampai2 jer ombak macam tsunami...tak jadi..I ended picking up seashells untuk bagi to my sister...So, skang ni mau tido...esok kerja...Pray that everything will be alright...Just another manic Monday, I wish it was Sunday.....(it;s a song if you can recall)...

KRU

3:20pm -They said the factory environment is like this...hectic...muka kering, tebal telinga...this is not suitable for me. I shud have known better...but parent's expectations and mine ossso....I tried very hard to get here...just to be in this company...i liked it so much...tapi silap tempat la..

Wawa, the fellow trainee even said that one Senior Officer told her that we trainees are attached in the wrong department..he pity us... :) I dunno la...this is not getting anywhere at all...but let me stress one more time that it is all my weaknesses in overcoming pressure...in handling situations, decision-making (a very heavy word)..

Chop!!!!just now...3:53pm my colleague just called me...informed me about the situation back there...alhamdulillah...ok balik...haiyooo...i couldnt sleep la pagi tadik....(night shift)...dia dah settle dah...see?Maybe i'm being paranoid...but the environment is like that....kasi aku takut jer...Lagu 'Water Runs Dry' is being played right now...this cybercafe has a good choice of mp3s la..Alhamdulillah, lega skit just to get werk today...

Ladies and gentlemen, that was exectly how my office's environment is structured. Blaming others culture...At least i know i'm learning lots of things in there..

I'll leave you with this song..keeps playing in my head la...video clip pun so 'togetherness'...

Sunday Morning- Maroon 5.
Sunday morning rain is falling
Steal some covers share some skin
Clouds are shrouding us in moments unforgettable
You twist to fit the mold that I am in
But things just get so crazy living life gets hard to do
And I would gladly hit the road get up and go if I knew
That someday it would bring me back to you
That someday it would bring me back to you

That may be all I need
In darkness she is all I see
Come and rest your bones with me
Driving slow on sunday morning
And I never want to leave

Fingers trace your every outline
Paint a picture with my hands
Back and forth we sway like branches in a storm
Change the weather still together when it ends

That may be all I need
In darkness she is all I see
Come and rest your bones with me
Driving slow on sunday morning
And I never want to leave

But things just get so crazy living life gets hard to do
Sunday morning rain is falling and I'm calling out to you
Singing someday it’ll bring me back to you
Find a way to bring myself home to you
And you may not know

That may be all I need
In darkness she is all I see
Come and rest your bones with me
Driving slow?

 

Jiwa kacau...

Life sucks la at my werkplace...the environment is so hectic, so political, so bullying until one trainee submitted her resignation letter yesterday. I knew this day wud come but donno when...she wanted to go back to JB,frustrated by her mentor...Likewise with me la...they really teach you how to swim, get what i mean?Maybe i'll resign osso end of this month...

Ok,we shud be able to but a brave face during adversity, stay positive, blah blah...this is my blog...i rant whenever i want...i didn;t expect it to turn out this way...yeah, It is an MNC, but what if the management is still 3rd world in thinking? I dunno la, maybe i;m new....but susahla....other ppl are leading a blissful life...duit banyak tak guna jugak if u dun have the time to enjoy it...in my scenario, TIME is more precious than money la..gile la wei...even my coursemate in the same department pun dah kena herdik 'bullshit' semalam...terus call parents dia, suruh arrange kerja kat HSBC sumwhere...

Anyone out there?I'm drowning alone la...tapi tak elok la...i seem to complain when i was at Celcom dulu...right?tu la pasal...tak bersyukur betul la...S-I-G-H....eh?did i heard someone say 'emotional basketcase'?
See first la how it turns out today...balik umah je ada je orang call pasal tu, pasal ni...nak tidur pun takleh...saiko tul beb...The feeling over there is like ur boss is running after you everytime, or maybe his shadow is lurking behind you..no wonder my walking pace is increasing everyday...aku jalan kaki skang ni dah laju from before beb!!!! It's like it is grown to you..

Takpe....maybe can keje with my dad...he said anytime when i asked about it...

WRAP UP

Hola..kat umah lagi cos this week kerja malam..oredi settled sewa and things....last weekend balik umah as usual, celebrated Mum's Day...Angah made verylicious brownies...kitorang sental KFC ramai2 in front of tv...rhymes rhymes...macam biasa la....work was good.

Lepaked with Tanko, Norman, Ali tgk bola...I missed Penang la...tetiba jer...teringat Taman Tun Sardun, breakfast after stayed up late..Main bola padang besar...woohooo!!!!!Main gitar depan hostel pompuans....hehheh..Me being the supasta..Maybe one day i'll grab some frens for a road trip adhoc style to Penang, just to makan nasi kandaq and mandi laut tercemar...hehehehhe....this weekend pegi lumut, nak tgk MMDS Malakoff duathlon tu...want to experience the thrill la..need some new motivation...

I've been feeling guilty la...not much running...even Sundays for me are a luxury for family n frens...sommore want to cover back the sleep...Maybe after Lumut will get new 'omen'? Heheh...you must read 'The Alchemist' from Paulo Coelho...or was it Humberto Coelho..(which one is the football coach aa?)...tapi best la...fantasy-philosophical punya buku...borrowed it from Angah...

Anyways, lots of things needed...maybe new running shoes?NB M900 got a review in Stuff. Cool huh?New phone maybe?New specs?Hmm...sounds delicious...But I learned that money cant buy time for you...Serious as hell!!!!!Betul beb..I feel like Gollum in LOTR...'My preciouss......'.Tengok la...I'd rather save it in ASB...

last Sat went to look for house...Baba mentioned somewhere at Melaka...service apartment of some sort at the AFamosa resort...somesort of weekend getaway for resort patrons...macam best...especially for investment...but last2 gue malas la...rather buy a NORMAL house where u dun need RM17K to just furnish the house...gila punya bargain konon...Baba wanted to teach me tricks n trade to buy a house...nantila ye?

But sometimes I think to myself...all these things yang u wanted to do...no point gak if you delay2..Tunggu sekejap la.,nanti tunggu stable la,rileks dulula...kasi stable income la...kasi matang la (if want to get married)...right?Because my argument wud be, katakan you oredi had that thing...you will be forced to settle the thing every month..Let's say u oreadi bought a car...nak taknak kena jugak bayar bulan2,kan?If you buat loan ASB tu, kena jugak buat Standing Instruction kan?just to pay the installments...

Jumpa Najeeb the PTD officer for Kementrian Pengangkutan..sudah ada aweks la skang ni..bahagia...ok la, he's my coursemate and i've been listening to his kisah2 chenta and he dun deserve pompuan yg ntahapahapa...so all the best..makan nasi minyak lagi...sudah ada kereta...
Well, nanti ingat nak tgk wayang...but saturday dah gerak gi lumut...he...syoknye tgk scenario orang race and toing toing berlari...rindu la...

must do my long run la somehow.....
