Woah! *wipes away cobwebs and dust bunnies*

Haven't been blogging in a LONG LONG while. But heck who cares right? It's not like many people read anyway. Hehe. I need to remind myself this is my personal (yet publicly open) abode to scribble my thoughts and opinions instead of garnering comments, followers and what nots.

It's very important to remind ourselves of our priorities. Taking into example the previous paragraph, my utmost priority is to publish my opinions and thoughts. Thus the frequency, number of followers and number of comments should be irrelevant to how I post (although i do admit having random response with differing perspectives does seem fun to read :P)

Anyhow. Priorities and Options. Let us talk about having people as priorities or options in life. How one and the other is treated is very2 much different thus shows what people think of you when they've categorized you as either a Priority or just as an option in their life.

You want more?

Having said that, being on the receiving end of being either a priority or an option would literally suck big time; especially if you're treated as an option. It's bad when you're unsure whether you're a priority or an option. Even worst when you treat someone as a priority and they just treat you as an option. I'm just randomly listing possibilities here, which doesn't really prove much point yet. Heck I've (as always) sidetracked from typing up the main points I wanted to portray. ( - _ -" ) *heavy sigh*

When someone is important to you, it's basic logic that they'll be a priority. Am I over generalizing? Could it be considered as basic logic and everyone agrees or it's not as simple and people have differing opinions on the subject? Well, for the sake of this post, let's just say everyone agrees.

snagged again from deviantart.com - user; Love is Blind

It's just simple acts as putting them first compared to others, isn't it. Showing them that you care; that they come to mind first thing in the morning, last thing at night, most time of the day. It's not as though your whole life has to be focused on them. This can be simply be shown through the expression of 'my world revolves around you'. Right? It's not that everything has to change; every nook and cranny, you're just adapting everything into place so that you have time for them. You have time to show you care.

Having said that, being prioritized would feel super awesome. But then again, we don't live in an ideal world where we ALWAYS get what we want. OR what we deserve (although i doubt that we think too highly of ourselves to be demanding and deciding what we deserve in life as we ARE all HUMBLE humble people, aren't we? =) ).

As options, we'll probably be one of the last things to have crossed peoples mind. One of the last things to matter. One of the last people they will think of at any given moment. They'd push aside your requests to be dealt with later where they'll probably forget and make you feel... how should i put it... left out? oblivious? invisible? I'll go with invisible. And non-existent.

When push comes to shove you'd think being treated as options would just drive people away but NO, that's not usually the case although using the LOGICAL over generalization, everyone would probably flee. But in some cases, one party endures the pain and suffering being treated as an option. Why? Maybe because of the reasons from this post I've typed up earlier, about detachments and separation anxiety. Heck, I didn't plan on linking these two previously. Seems like I'm just building on earlier post eh? Oh well...

Kidnapped from deviantart.com. user; camiloo-d2c66pc

Anyhow, the best person to prioritize is yourselves. Turn the WE into ME. Yes, it sounds ever so selfish, but selfishness at times are for self care because at the end of the day; You are the only one there to pick up the pieces, You are the one that has to deal with everything, You are the one person you have and need to count on. You.

Like always, I won't own up to having typed up a WHOLE freaking post to get a point across to a certain individual. Like I said before; my priority - to voice out my opinion, to let out my thoughts. Simple as that. Sesepe terase tuh, padan muke lah kot? Hehe. Not like any John or Jenny would accidentally stumble upon this blog anyway so I'm probably safe with my points of view in this humble abode. ^_^

In the style of my previous post, I'll leave you with...

Hey Peeps,

Yeah, quite a long absence then... Nearly 2 weeks~ hehehe... Well, you know, with exams coming up and all (like hell i was ONLY studying). But anywayz, this would probably be a short post. 'oF PiTTeR PaTTeR' is about rain. Yeah, the droplets of waters that falls from the skies and not the korean singer! LoL.

[grabbed from 2lovinuyasha]

Why talk about rain all of a sudden? Only because Dubdub (dublin) has been pouring these few days. I was walking outside with a few friends house hunting yesterday when it was sunny although a little breezy when suddenly, it poured!!! LoL. We were walking along the canal so there were trees to take cover under. It rained as it were in Malaysia~ hehehe...

Well... anywayz... Tomorrow there's TeamOSCE to worry about. Patient Actors, here comes play dr cyid! hehe... hope everything goes well...

2010-08-06T07:01:00.001-07:00

Hey Peeps.

Yeah, another update from da crazy dude. And this post is entitled 'oF DeTaCHMeNTS'; talking about pushing things away, trying to forget and basically, moving on. =) No, no. It doesn't really have to be happening to me! hehe... Look, see... am all cheerful and happy =)

Some people come into our lives bringing happiness. Some even come with promising words. Words that makes you hang to every last syllable, every last letter. Words that make you believe there's hope; there's a chance at something. How silly can people be when they just go head-on believing such words; putting their full trust and lastly those words ended up just being mere words, most probably forgotten with the ticking of time.

But why still keep hanging on to those words even though they prove to be meaningless in the end? There's this little thing called trust. And also the void of doubts. For most parts, trust is a good thing. I for one believe in trusting people. This may sound very immature but trusting is so much easier and less burdening compared to doubting. =)

But as Lady Gaga and Beyonce said in their single; 'Trust is like a mirror, you can fix it if it's broken, but you can still see the crack...' See... When someone starts to trust you, they've actually given themselves to you per se (have to be put into context la!). But when you break that trust, either one of two things could happen. They can just not trust you anymore, or they try to trust you again with the memory of you once breaking their trust.

So, if that trust is already broken, why not move on? That's caused by this little thing called separation anxiety. They don't feel brave enough to detach themselves and plunge into the unknown without the other. But once these anxiety has lessen, babysteps are made to detach from the trust breaker. hehe, OMG, I'm not making any sense here... sigh...

Owh well, breaking away isn't as easy as it may sound. But if the situation's bugging you and filling you with negative thoughts, vibes and feelings, it's the thing you must master.

So, all I'm saying is, I'm detaching myself slowly as you've broken my trust not once (which I overlooked since I made my own poor judgement) but twice. EH! Why did it all get personal all of a sudden? hehehe... I have no idea~ :P Out of sight, out of mind, out of reach, out; get the hell out! woot~ [emotional much?]

Well anywayz...

It's my last night at home before departing towards the emerald isle once again (this time for a reseat paper... sigh... wished i would have done better the first time round)

Till next time (which hopefully will be soon), later days dudes and dudettes.

2010-08-06T00:24:00.000-07:00

Hey Peeps.

Yup, I guess it's time for another one of those whirlwind updates... short but, well... I wouldn't go as far as to call them meaningful! 'oF LiTTLe PRaYeRS' is dedicated to the song 'Say a Little Prayer for You'. I've always loved the Glee cover version of it cos the gurls had such melody blending together! hehehe... And yeah, there was this one time I watched 'My Best Friend's Wedding', the song came up too! I know, it's an old film but it's real sweet and cool! Loved the storyline!

About prayers... we never really know when they will be answered; that's probably where the magic lies... In the trust and hope of it being answered; never really letting go to the idea that out little prayers goes up to the heavens and will be answered among the other million prayers of others as well. Have a lil faith; sooner or later it will materialize. However it's quite hard to actually wait for that later part that people sometime gives in halfway through... But yeah, let's have faith peeps!

For what it's worth, I dedicate this song to all you readers out there with my little prayer that you'd be happy with life amongst those you love. Hehe, not much rambling today I guess since I've slipped in two youtube videos here.

Sometimes the difficulties we face are blessings in disguise. We may not pray for them exactly, but we still get them. I'd like to end the post with a lil poem I've been familiar with since... I guess it was high school... It goes a little something like this...

I asked for strength,

and God gave me difficulties to make me strong,

I asked for wisdom,

and God gave me problems to solve,

I asked for prosperity,

and God gave me brains and brawns to work with,

I asked for courage,

and God gave me dangers to overcome,

I asked for love,

and God gave me troubled people to help,

I asked for favours,

and God gave me opportunities.

I received nothing i wanted,

I received everything i needed,

My prayers are answered.

Thank You God.

Ok folks, that's all for this lil post.

It got long in the end... haih... hehehe...

Later days dudes and dudettes.

2010-08-05T08:21:00.001-07:00

Hey Peeps

Yet again, another post... and twice in a day! OMG, what 's happening to the world?!?!?! Yeah, it may be a lil hard to engrave into the back of your mind but somehow, I've actually started to post more random rambles of nonsense! keke~

And truth be told... I fell like typing up more and more posts! You might ask, what's coming?!?!?! The writing bug's coming! hehe... yeah, and I hope it's here to stay for a while cos I think I have a lot on my mind that I would like to dish out into open space so that any unlucky travelers to this blog would have a chance to read it (not saying that you will, I'm only being hypothetical).

At some point throughout thinking of making a comeback to frequent updates, I was thinking of coming up with a new blog where I would actually post up stuff that I would probably not post with my name hanging on the line like that, but frankly, I don't think it's necessary~ hehehe... I should be responsible to what I say so I won't be the man behind the writing, I'd be the man writing!

What nonsense am I blabbering away with here? Heck I don't know... I just feel like sometimes, there are things that are worth blogging about but I don't want it to be linked to me... And if I had another blog where the owner was anonymous, then it's be fine to post it up... But heck, let's just leave that to staying as an idea. I'll try to rephrase the stuff to suit all walks of life~ hehe... Like it's been emphasized on TV, 1malaysia people! hehe... well, I'd rather go for 1wholeworld or something like that but yeah, whatever...

So hey, do expect more from time to time as the writing bug's come and bit me already! hehehe... [and just in the nick of tyme... just when I'm about to face a resit exam... sigh... it's a bad habit I guess]. Again, I emphasize that this blog is purely made of random, i mean VERY RANDOM ramblings that don't usually link to one another, but comes from a guy that likes to rambles on and on when he is faced in front of the good old lappy~ hehehe

In conclusion, the writing bug's back folks... and yeah, I write what I feel like writing and I should probably take responsibility of what I write~ wee~ hehehe... 'oF BeiNG BaCKSTaGe'? well, that's just techinically like saying I won't hide behind my words. Got me? hehe :P And hey, one more thing why the writing bug's back; it's because I wanna beat the amount of posts I posted last year... and yeah, I'm doing terrible at the moment, but hey, a guy's gotta have a goal right?

So till next time dudes and dudettes,

later days,

.:: oF CoMiNG aND GoiNG ::.

2010-08-05T04:38:00.000-07:00

Hey Peeps...

I'm surprised myself that I actually thought of blogging even after I already blogged yesterday. Hehe... Well, that must be what happens when you put aside social networking sites~ hehe. Or maybe it's because I feel like blogging. 'oF CoMiNG aND GoiNG' is the title for today! and well, if we wanna be objective about it, I'm probably gonna blabber about more than one thing today. =)

People say some things come and go in our lives. But friends stay true till the end. However... Don't friends also come and go at times? Not your close friends, or your BFFs or whatever labels you wanna tag them with, but the friends that you're not so particularly close with; the ones you've only have brief encounters with, the ones you can only master a 'hi' or 'how are you' everytime you meet them. But some don't dubbed these people with the term 'friends' instead they rather like to call them acquaintance.

Meh, either way, people come and go in your lives. Some come for a while, makes you happy with lies and fool you with very promising words, and then, they just go... leaving you hanging by a thread; wishing for that 'what ifs' and ponder on the 'could haves'. Sounds negative here? hehehe... Am I talking about my own experiences? Urm... well, it doesn't really matter. Even though I put it in a really negative way, some people just have to 'go' from your life. It's just a matter of time before they continue to fool you.

Ok, so the last paragraph or so was too negative; let us try o look at things in a more positive manner. Referring to the law of magnetology, opposite attracts. But it seems that when it comes to emotions, that law doesn't work. If we perceive things positively, we'll feel much better than when we take it in a negative manner. So looking back on the last paragraph, savour that happiness that they bring and well, just let them go if they wanna go. It's their loss that they're leaving you! hehehe, am i ryte? Focus on your happiness because if you're not happy, you can't make other peopl happy! =)

Another part of coming and going is... well... Maybe we can say this about life itself. One time you hear about a birth of a new being while the next you'll hear about death. Life come and goes pretty much all the time, that's why we shouldn't really dwell on how bad, how sad, how unsatisfying our life is and start savouring every waking moment of it.

Well, I was only intentionally typing this post to focus on the points before, about people coming and going in life but life and death seems relevant too. Recently (a few days back) an aunt-in-law of mine passed away... It started with a fever, than she went into cardiac arrest for 10 minutes before getting resuscitated. But yeah, after a 10 minutes cardiac arrest, chances are slim... She had cerebral oedema as well (from FB statuses or close relatives).

Well, the point is, death comes unexpectedly. And in truth, I don't think I got to know her quite well yet. And hey, I thought of typing on how her 1 or 2 year old daughter reacted... But thinking it through, I only heard 3rd person account of it... I would probably weeped if I actually saw it myself. The lil kiddo aimlessly looking for her mum after her funeral. Crying at night and stuff... Sigh... Life's too short to take for granted.... Life comes and goes... So people, be happy with what you have! Cherish your family.

Time in general goes by ever so quickly. That's why we see people/things/situations come and go in our lives. We sometime forget that every waking second we've been through, that's a second gone, either been put to good use or wasted. So let's stay positive about life, be happy, enjoy what you have so that every second of our life would be put to good use, and serves as a good memory. =)

Till next tyme dudes and dudettes,

cyid out.

Hey Peeps...

Well anywayz, it surprises me that someone may even stumble upon this page after it's owner abandons it for quite some time... Looking back on it, there's practically only a few post since the start of the year, few as in an amount that could be counted on one hand! But hey, since this humble abode is still alive, and I fell like typing up stuff, I'll just continue doing what I love... Rambling nonsense! hehe...

So anywayz, what's with the solemn title? Well, for one, a title can usually mislead people into thinking that's what the content is about, or it can actually be the essence of the content. And unfortunately in this very context, it's the essence of the post~ hehe... So I bid farewell to the readers who doesn't like serious ramblings. Cos that's what this post is about. =)

People say, when life throw lemons at you, make a lemonade. When life gives you problem, go forth and solve it rather than running away from it. But in truth, when dealing with people, sometimes don't you think it's better to run away and take your time out? Hehehe... (ok, well, it doesn't really matter if you agree or not really) I actually wiki-ed exile and it says that one of the meanings is that 'isolating oneself to be able to devote time to a particular thing'.

So I'm actually taking a leave of absence... (like I haven't done that before from the blogsphere :P) Exiling myself to devote time for what? For myself. Hehehe... Yeah, sounds pretty selfish if you ask me, but hey, people need sometime to themselves at times, don't they? But in this era of mass communication, it's pretty hard to do so without one knowing a safe rural haven to run to, right? Preferably a cave of some sort!

So in my point of view, to exile oneself to devote time to oneself nowadays would only mean a few things...

One; taking a break from all your social networking pages (i.e Facebook in particular!) so that you won't really be bothered by some pretty picture you've been tagged in or notifications of some distant friend saying a simple hi!. Yeah, I do sound cold but in truth, that's what I had to do myself since I'm practically addicted to that site... sigh... It's probably for the better as well, to train myself to lessen that unnecessary dependency on that site.

Two; some people are persistent and thereby you have to either switch off your phones (which maybe would be dangerous if you had urgent stuff to use it) or just change number for a while! hehehe... Only a few people should know your new number, the important ones only. [maybe a member of the family so they could update you if anything happened].

Three; just leave the internet completely. Unless you expect important e-mails and such. hehehe...

Sounds like drastic measures to be taken to exile one's self isn't it? But a person's got to do what they've got to do to gain what they want to gain. Ok, that last sentence sounds like it doesn't make sense for some reason. Some people might even ask, why the heck do you wanna do something to that extent?

Well... there's actually many reason to exile one's self from the community at times... Well, I'm probably going to list down a few that's probably led me to such drastic measures~ hehehe... Yeah, as people may know I'm actually an internet addict, in particular, Facebook.

One; you have something important to do, one that would need you to lessen distractions and you're real bad at prioritizing. LoL, ok, i'm just describing myself there...

Two; you just need some time to yourself, to get back to yourself, to reconnect with your innerself if people believe that~ You know, sometimes when we forget to focus our life around ourselves, we tend to shed away our 'self' - believes, what we hold on to, hope, dreams, wishes etc. You get the point. These stuff defines who we are...

Three; you just need some 'me' time. Yeah, that sounds so immature at first glance but you do! At times, the world just seems very unbearable (beats me, I dunno why it happens) and you just need to run away and come back anew! LoL. Or you just need time to pamper yourself! hahaha... The point is, you need time for yourself, leaving behind (only for a while) that self usually follows what others around you dictates! wee...

I'll just leave it up to three... But most reasons would probably focus on one thing. You just need time to yourself since it's self-exile rather than being exiled by others~ And hey, I've do it again... Silent for ages and come back with a huge post. Well, I just can't stop typing when I start~ hehehe... But yeah, since it is my lil domain in the www i guess i can use it however i like! :P

That's probably all for this post. A lil impromptu like any of my other posts i guess... Well, yeah, let's just say this blog is for my many impromptu posts! who cares~

Later dude and dudettes~

cyid out, for how long? even i don't know...

.: No TiTLe :.

2010-05-27T01:21:00.000-07:00

Hi peeps! LoL...

For those that came, and sighed at how long the post is... skip down to the last part and just read the questions~ kekeke, or if you have more time, scroll through and just read the bold sentences i guess... and if you have ample time to waste, go ahead and start reading folks! kekeke

Well, anywayz... after the long absence I'd be grateful to even have at least a visitor to the blog, kekeke... but anywayz, that's not that important as I kindda made this blog to just get me typing on and on in English as I pretty much don't get the chance to do so with the current degree I'm pursuing.

Any how... I started this post not really knowing what to type up but hopefully by the end of the post there's something to share with everyone. kekeke... So it's now... 27th May 2010... Guess when I'm leaving for Malaysia? in 2 days time! yippee for that although I haven't started packing yet which probably explains why I'm blogging at this exact moment! [If you've been reading from before, you would probably have noticed I have the tendency of coming up with new posts at very inappropriate time such as exams! kekeke]

Wokeyh, so in my absence, yes, I have not just went into a coma... I've been well... I wouldn't say too busy to actually make me not have time to blog, but busy enough apparently to not dust all these cobwebs from this lil site of mine... haih... Well anywayz, I would like to blog about a few new experiences I went through this semester... No, I'm not gonna go bing-bong haywire about how the new semester's workload has pummeled me to rock bottom but other, more... fun experiences!

So I joined the archery sports club. kekeke, thumbs up to Putri for actually convincing me to 'return' and become a more actively participating member! Archery's very tough actually cos the strain it causes can be seen after a few rounds of shooting. And hell yeah, there weren't any teachers around so we just got by on our own, which to me wasn't an advantage cos I'm VERY VERY bad at sports... Anyone seen me play tennis? yeah, it's THAT bad even after 2 years of training... kekeke... Anywayz... archery... there weren't much members so I even got a part to go to Intervarsities [to fill the maximum quota! lol] and yeah, it was quite an experience feeling SO inferior to those that can actually shoot! But I loved going anyway! went twice and both times I just got very very bad scores that are too embarrassing to even be mentioned! but the point of this whole paragraph is probably that I actually had fun with this sport, seeing that i dun have to move around much! lol...

Inter varsities took place in various places, one being in a place called Limerick where we actually skipped a day of class [yes kids, do not do this, very-very bad] well, technically we weren't skipping anything much cos there weren't classes for the whole batch on the said day. Anywayz... You know how sometimes, you don't really talk much to people and just the random 'hey' and 'how are you' and stuff... Well, after spending a weekend away with these guys, it felt uber-great! Ok, lol... I dun really know what to continue with here so I'll just leave you with a picture of me in a dungeon! kekekeke...

Moving on, I would like to mention that I have so many great friends here in Dublin... that caters to my madness! kekekeke... well, the former was true; I do have many friends... But I'd say I love to emphasize on the latter part; they've accepted the wacky side of moi. Family means the world and friends, they're like the... stars? Yeah, let's use that metaphor. They decorate your life and sparkle! They shine, they lead the way, they complete you I guess... Yeah, I'm loosing focus here, I know... But the hands just wants to keep typing since the body does not want to go packing yet. sigh... Anywayz... the picture below is a picture of a few of my friends and I having a picnic at a park just outside our (very little) campus. I think it was on a weekend! Or maybe not... But yeah, this time, no skipping2 class~ kekeke... Apparently this year, the temperature's not too cold so spring was quite warm hence the picnic! :D Yeah people, if you've never actually had picnics, I advise you to do so cause it's relaxing and fun! [and for people like me who has friends that loves taking pictures, you can pose and pout and yeah, do whatever la~ hehehe] All in all, friends are very important in life; if you don't have any, get some right away! lol... But i don't think anyone would actually not have any friends. But yeah, since I'm spouting endless nonsense already... might as well mention that!

Well, well... like every other year... Mother's day came and went this year... Although I think I can't really outshine last year's effort, I'm quite satisfied with the flowers I sent this year cos it looked and resembles the picture they advertised on the net. No, no... This paragraph isn't gonna focus of the flower, it's gonna be about my lovely Mama... Hehehe... I'm a mama's boy, and abah's boy too I guess! I'm spoilt to a certain extent I guess having been an only child for more than a decade before my lil sis and bro came along. Throughout this medical degree, I would say I have to thank my parents so much. They've been keeping me anchored to the ground, they've been the shoulders to cry on, they've been my motivation... They've been them and I could not ask for anything better cos they're just the best they can be. I know, everyone would say that about their own parents... It's called biasness and apparently, I don't think it's bad! kekeke, being bias this time is actually good! I don't know how to even express how much I love them~ It's cliche but well, I'll use 'em anyway... 'There's no words that can express how much i love you guys and how much you mean to me'. Abah, Mama; love you! sa rang hae! [korean-mad at the moment]

I think I'm reaching my typing limits now, so I'll probably end it with how we kindda had a mini-celebration post-exams! Kekeke... While we were in the midst of exams, I YMed a friend suggesting that we'd go for an impromptu picnic right after our last paper. And we did... LoL. The gurls bought burgers while the guy, yeah, he didn't eat! kekeke, way to turn the tides around... Anywayz, we also tried out this new place that just opened up, Milkshake Bar. I would just like to go OMG to their milkshake cos it was... well, it was delicious. kekeke... And very fulfilling. I was kindda stuffed throughout the day with only that one glass. Could it be called a glass? Well, you know what I mean la... I finished mine in about, 5 to 6 sips I think... kekeke... Well anywayz, summer's been great! It's hot an sunny on most days and very2 suitable for picnic. But since I'm going back so soon, there not much chance to go have picnics!

So I guess that was a very random and unstructured post... Very the impromptu as well... So that was a lil snippet of how life's been here in the emerald isle. More pics on FB if you guys are interested to go see... kakaka... [self-promotion? how cheap! kekeke].

Find out on the next Digimon, Digital Monster~

Ooops... Lol... :P

2010-01-31T02:49:00.000-08:00

This is a really long winding (maybe boring) post! :P

I has already been a month into the new year; 2010 and I haven't even posted anything up! Is this blog dying or what? Well, the owner's not dead yet thankfully so I guess I don't have much explaination behind my sudden disappearance except for that i have been VERY LAZY to update the blog... But thankfully on this joyous bright sunny sunday where others venture out onto the earth to have fun in the sun, I had that sudden urge to blog again! And no, this time, there's no tests nor exams to diverge my concentration from (as i usually do when there are tests to study for).

Anywayz, enough with that... Sounds boring already... I visited another blog earlier this month (though i've already forgotten which one...) and saw that the owner did a recap of the past decade of his life... seems interesting enough to make a post out of it! =D So let's do a lil brief recap of my life (how ever boring it may be) from 2000 all the way to 2009 (since nothing much has happened in 2010 as of yet!)

2000

The year celebrating the coming of the new millenium. I was 12? yeah... 12. Anywayz... I was living in the UK back then. As most 12 y/os, we had to take a test before going into secondary school, or as we called it there; high school. SATs didn't seem as stressful as my other exams. I still remembered the essay I did for english! hehehe... My results weren't that bad I guess... Good, but not great... So then in the middle of the year, I went from Rendell Primary School into Limehurst High School. Made great new friends when I enrolled into high school. Adi, Liyana, Farah Fatin, Athirah, Naim and Nabilah! Good good friends. Gosh... this seems a little boring already... Let's jump onto the next year now, shall we?

2001

13 years old. The year where I became a brother! Hehehe... Yeah, I lived a good 13 years as an only child so I'm not that bothered when a little critter came into our life. My lil baby sis was born in December, the last month of 2001, so what happened in the eleven months prior to that? Nothing as special I guess... Could still remember the feeling of getting a sibling after 13 years of being an only child. It felt... weird, but great! I still remember bring her baby pics to class to share with my friends! LoL, those were the days...

2002

This is the year when we moved back to Malaysia after my dad completed his PhD. This is the year when I met back with SO many childhood friends as I enrolled into SMI Hidayah. The first few months of school was SO difficult in terms of academics and socializing. I'm a shy guy; ok maybe not nowadays but i WAS... thankfully pulled through quite ok by the end of the year, not excellent, but just plain good which is ok i guess... See, my life has never been about excellence! hehehe =P

2003

I wouldn't say SO MUCH happened this year but a few great memories were carved. One being that we opened our arms to another little bundle of joy, this time though, I got a new baby brother. So much for being the only child! hehehe... So now there's the big bro, the big sis and the lil baby bro. Again, after waiting for so long, you could never have guessed how happy i was back then (and still am now!). The funny thing was, I was away when he was born. I was out camping in fact! So I first met my lil bro when he was 3 days old...

As all form 3 students in Malaysia know, we had to face an exam that year. PMR. One of those exams where it's important enough to decide what you'll be venturing through in the future! hehehe... Quite something to face right! I also remembered that my 15th birthday was also on the 2nd day of the exams although we never really had big celebrations anyway. Thankfully I was blessed with 8As and 1B for the exam... So the next two years would be quite horrific as I'm destined to enroll into the science classes. [take note that I've never really had much ambitions since I was a kid except that I really really wanted to be a power ranger! :P]

2004

Sweet sixteen?!?!?! yeah right. Nothing sweet but 2004 was really fun! I felt that it was one of the most fun years (another one being in 2005) of my schooling years! Friends became closer friends, school was fun (yeah, i know... NERD much?). All in all, nothing much happened to me outside the realms of school. Hey, hey... I'm not that nerdy, seriously... ask anyone... Ok, so not much happened this year I guess... Moving on...

2005

One would would probably sum it up. SPM. It's an abbreviation but I consider it one word :P This is the year I sat the exam to obtain the Certificate of Education, Malaysia. So you know... busy studying, I was also busy online! hehehe... Back then it was with friendster! Ok, SPM took most of the time. Moving on...

2006

Our school alumni thought of a programme for us since it's 3 months away till we get our results. So we were shipped off to Aceh to observe the effects of the Tsunami onto the citizens. since it's under 2 years after the tsunami hits Aceh, there were still much destruction seen. A whole month being in Aceh was quite fun actually... That's probably the 1st time i've been away so long from my family. We met lots of people there (and tried so many new FOOD!).

After Aceh, the results came out... Not too bad... Then that phase came; the applying for scholarship phase. As well as 'what are you gonna do for the rest of your life' phase. Which I hated a lot!!! I hate making big decisions and going through massive changes in life. Although change is natural, moving out of your comfort zone is tough. I actually applied for many things since I haven't really made up my mind yet then. The two roads that was conflicting was between medicine and english. I really liked english, be it literature or teaching it. My mum was quite supportive of the teaching career although she advised me to be a lecturer rather than becoming a teacher. But anywayz, since there wasn't any doctors in our family (extended family) the pressure did rise and most people seem that it was pretty obvious that i would jump onto the medical train towards the hospital with the grades i achieved. So I took that train...

And enrolled into MCB, Mara College Banting, or better known as KMB. We had to do IB, International Baccalaureate. I haven't a clue what I was enrolling myself into as long as it's a means of getting into a medical degree. The first semester of KMB was HELL! hahaha... Like i mentioned before, I've never really been away from my family much so a whole semester being away from my family was tough. But as hell-ish as it was, it was fun too.

Another thing that happened this year, at then end of the year to be precise, was that my cousin passed away because of leukemia. That's probably the first time having a close family member encountering death. Didn't know how to react at first but then it sank in and I guess that was the first time i felt a loss of a family member... So many things happened that very year...

2007

My 2nd and 3rd semester in KMB was FUN! Made a really great circle of friends then. So many things happened in KMB that i would say matures me in a few ways and nurtures the child in me as well!

2008

The year when we were free from the clutches of IB and KMB! lol... something to really celebrate about. The final IB exam was quite hell-ish as well as it was to determine if we were to continue into our degrees overseas or the unknown outcome... Which thankfully i didn't have to find out. Before the results were out though, two memorable things happened.

One of them was that my youngest aunt got married. I think it was around the time right after i came out of KMB. Being involved in a wedding was fun!

The other was when my great grandma passed away at the age of... well, we weren't sure for certain but she was really old. the 2nd time felling that great family member loss feeling.

And 2008 was also the year when I flew to Ireland to start on my medical degree. It wasn't my first time living in a foreign country but it was my first time living in a foriegn country alone without my family...

2009

last year was FABULOUS! hehehe... in the summer I went back-packing around europe! covered 8-9 countries in a month i think... well, this was in previous posts so i won't really bore you with something you've already read about.

after the euro trip, i went back to malaysia for the fasting month and also for eid celebration...

And thankfully, I started my 2nd year as well! hehehe... still a long road ahead for this medical degree to end! ( T - T )

Ok, I'm tired...
Cyid out!

Hey Peeps...

So the last two post was so boring and sad [and mellow in the words of Will], I need to brighten things up a lil' around here... Today, well... After being said that i was getting cold, I actually sprung back to the happy ol me again; i think. Hehehe... I don't really see any reason behind it but I was really happy today. Proves that you just have to think positively towards life to actually stop worrying and enjoy all its pleasures and moment~ ngeeeeeeeeeeeeeee~ (and I also don't like the cold boring me either... :P)

So anywayz, what's with the title of the post?!?!?! Maturity? Again, I pose the question to myself; Am I becoming more mature? Heck I hope not! hahahahaha... With that said, lemme quote from a friend who typed this up on his status a while ago on Facebook.

'...Ageing is inevitable, but maturity is optional!...'

Why am I relating immaturity with a Pichu? No association what-so-ever. Just thought that the cute lil thing could brighten up the post a lil. :D So if we do take '...maturity is optional...' a lil seriously, then how can we be immature? [Ponders] Ah well, I guess I'm immature in some ways or another. I don't take things seriously at times. Probably just immature for my age, not immature in general... How do you think I've survived Medical school for more than a year now with being solely immature? Then again, how would I have survived the whole year without my intermitent immaturity? Meh... I'm spouting random nonesense yet again... moving on...

Who's the lil' guy in the pic? My lil brother? Nah... Guess again? My nephew? Nah... I'm the eldest child, and only one of my cousins has tied the knot very recently... My cousin? Nah... My siblings are the youngest on our dad's side... But a cousin is coming soon... dued to be born sometime in February... So that leaves us with only one other answer (well, technically, there's about a lot of other possibilities still but hey, let's cut it short...). It's me! hehehe =D Not too sure if it was 17-18 years ago... sigh... I thought of posting this pic of me after reading a friend's blog about growing up (and he actually stated he was somewhat more mature; yeah rite~).

LoLz, I've been rambling lots of nonsense these past few days haven't I? Sure makes this a place for pouting out nonsense... But YOU are still reading it! hehehe So these nonsense does make sense... hahaha... Anywayz...

Hey Peeps...

Yup... It is getting colder and colder by the day. The weather. To add to that the autumn wind is still sticking around. Wind + Lack of Heat = FREEZING TEMPERATURE. Thankfully Mr Sun is still shining radiantly through some parts of the day. You can still feel the warmth of the rays... If you've been to Ireland you'd probably be familiar with the Irish weather. It rains, it pours, it showers quite a lot. I wouldn't say most times but apparently people says it does... Maybe I'm just lucky that I don't get soaked the times I go out. So now let's add more stuff to the equation above. Wind + Lack of Heat + Rain = SUBZERO. :P Sometimes you can barely feel your hands (if you're not wearing gloves which I intend to buy sometime soon~)

That should be sufficient for the local weather report. Back to the studio~ [weatherman mode]. Anywayz, not only the weather's getting colder. Today I've also been told that I'm getting colder... =( Well, that was only an honest comment from a friend, which i do treasure a lot. Sometimes, we tend to not notice these little changes in us because we like to observe others. We see things about others better than we do see stuff about our own self. More reflection? Hahaha... Unintentionally I am forced to do more and more reflection each and every day... Am I getting colder? I hope I'm not turning cold... I really do hope not. If I am, I seriously can't seem to pinpoint why I am going down this path... Well, anyhow... I'll just have to melt the cold away and shine happily! hehehe :D Either I'm turing cold or I'm just turning less childish~ am I becoming more mature?!?!?! YIKES! No, no! Hit the stop button! :P

Alright, enough with all the cold... Let's heat things up! hehehe! Life's been getting busier by the day (hence you get to read all these new posts! ahakz! :P) There's a few more weeks till the winter break and there's tons of work to get done, and I haven't even started to talk about the load of revision that needs to be done! Sometimes you just have to wake up and chant '...i love medical school... i love medical school... i love medical school...' to just get you through the day.

I miss chatting with my mum for up to hours~ LoLz... My parents are in Saudi Arabia right now preparing for the Hajj. (and the cost to call there is quite expensive~ wah, what a cheapskate). Random random thoughts there peeps... Yesterdays, yesterweeks, yestermonths, yesteryears... How they flew by so very quickly... All those fond memories... sigh... Nostalgic... But we have to live for the present... Let's move on!

I have no clue why this Ice Kirby is here... LoL... Maybe because we were talking about cold n lack of heat from before... Anybody seen Kirby before? I haven't seen much but just know the character a lil... I can only recall the pink bundle of joy actually, didn't know there were more than just one... Anywayz, I don't think I should be spouting more nonesense about something I have no idea about.

I better be off now peeps... Like I did mention earlier, there's actually tons to be done in so little time... And yet at these critical times I actually feel like blogging! :P

Hiya Peeps...

I don't usually make the title as obvious as the one above... But this time, this post it actually based on one of those random ramblings... It's quite an achievement for me to say that I actually did some 'reflection' on my behaviours... This actually happened when i was having random chit-chats with a housemate while we were walking back from a friend's house...

I am selfish... at times anywayz (that's what I like to think). I like to think of myself more than I think of others... I sometimes PUSH people away from me... Why? I have no idea... Maybe I just don't like them... Or maybe they don't like me... Either way I guess it'll feel better for myself if I push them away... That's why I am selfish... Why EMO all of a sudden? What's so emo about this? :P Peeps are filled with emotions... Sometimes you just have to let it out... Although they may bring about certain unwanted circumstances...

See where I'm going with this post? No? That's why it's called 'Random Ramblings' cos I too don't have it all planned out... Just rambling random things that pops up in my head...

Ok, back to the selfish pushing-away guy that I was then... Peeps, I do push people away if I feel I am not treated right... [remember that I am selfish]. It's a way I lessen that unwanted hatred in the heart, it's my way of lessening the void that may grow in a friendship, it's a way I feel will make me not feel 'unwanted'. Hahaha... Gosh, this post is going down into the emo section... Damn, you'd probably think I was faced with some rejection or something... No peeps, dun worry, I'm fine, like I said, it's random ramblings... That's what happens when you reflect on certains things... How random a conversation can be sometimes~

So I actually would like to stop here for now... As for the people I have ever pushed away in my life... I am sorry... But I'm selfish... at times. So if you think you've been pushed away, you have my written/typed-up apology in this very paragraph. Sorry.

Haih... ( _ _" )

Not the usual post I would type up but hey, this is what da blog's for...

My random ramblings~ sigh.

Hiya Peeps...

I have the weirdest times to have the urge to blog~ Oral Anatomy in a few days and this urge comes springing into life! LoL... Well, guess I can't help it...

I have to admit, I'm a sucker for series... Follow it like... like... like a hungry dog trailing a juicy bone~ Eeww... I should think of better stuff to be visualized but hey, spontaneous... can't be helped...

Wah, already 2 things happening that i can't cantrol, even in a blogpost~ aiyoo...

Anywayz... back to the main agenda... No aiR? yups, you guessed it. It's da Jordin Sparks feat Chris Brown song. Somehow it feels relevant to me all of a sudden... Guessed 'Glee' just brought it up at the right time... Anyone seen Glee? Like I said, I watch numerous series... Glee's just one of them... But I digress. I was talking about the song just now right?

Well... anywayz... I've made mistakes... busied myself with studies for the oral anatomy that i kindda spend less time with someone. Probably made that said person to feel neglected? My mistake. I'm sorry... I think I'm typing this up just to make myself feel better since that person doesn't even know the existance of this blog... sigh... Digressed, again. Well... making you upset feel really bad to the bone. Can't say much else but dedicate this to you... Nothing's changed, just been a little busier than usual~
(damn, that feels mushy but that's how things are~)

Just some simple rambling I guess to fill the void that is this blog at the moment... Been so damn lazy to post anything... Maybe life's been dull... Actually, that's not the case... Just haven't been getting the feel to post nowadays... Hope that feeling comes back soon 'cos I do miss typing up nonesense every now and then...

That's all for now... Back to the anatomy notes for me...

Hiya Peeps...

I've been so very lazy, I know~ haih... And there goes the title to you all! Distanced myself to make our hearts grow fonder. ahakz! (i know, lame excuse... i was lazy, totally~)

So much has been happening all these while though. The best was that I got to go home! yippee! i would say it was a mere 2 months as it felt kindda short... but none-the-less, i still got to go home to the family. I even got to celebrate a whole week of eid back home~ yay! (all da moneh! hehehe)

And now since I'm back here in Dublin, I guess I might as well start blogging again! (might as well?) Been back a week and been down with a fever most of the week back~ hahaha... I'd say homesickness which could probably be cured only with a ticket back home... but we'll see what the GP says tomorrow~ It's quite hard to get an appointment these days... probably because of the flu going around an all...

Just a short lil post to say that, da biatch is back! hahaha... lol, that was so uncalled for but i loike it anywayz~ i'm here to stay! this place needs some touch-up too... will be doing that amongst all the academic workload they've blundered onto us this sem~ sigh... medical school seems to get tougher every sem~ live with it! ngeeeeeeeeeee~

Republic of Czech

Austria

Poland

Germany

Alright folks... that's all for this post...

Hiya Peeps...

I'm back on the blogsphere! (maybe not for long, but that's besides the point!) From the title above, you'll probably guess that I'm here to talk about my experiences from my eurotrip... However, an old saying pops into my head and keeps ringing like a broken alarm clock! '...a picture is worth a thousand words...'

So, being as lazy as I always have been, I'll leave you with a few pics... 5 to be exact because I somehow can't upload more... hahahaha... so 5 thousand words coming up :P

[In Granada, at the al-Hamra]

[Everyone should know where this is]

[Colleseum, Rome]

[Vienna, Austria]

[King Charles Bridge I think... But it's in Czech! lol]

Anywayz like I said before... blogspot has refrained me from uploading more pics... so those are just 1 pic representing the first 5 countries I went to... Maybe I will post up stuff about each country in the future but as off right now, this is it! hahahahaha

But I'm not that mean... Or maybe I am but I'll be nice this time... I've uploaded pics on Facebook, a lot of pics mind you... So i'll just give you links to them if you feel like clicking on them... lol... I've only uploaded about... 3 countries so far; Spain, France and Italy... More will be coming soon so I'll post those up in later posts on this blogs...

Hola Espana; Madrid

Hola Espana; Granada

Hola Espana; Barcelona

Viva la France!

ti amo l'Italia; Milan and Como Lago

ti amo l'Italia; Roma and Pisa

Aite... those are the albums. If you haven't already done so and would like to, add me on Facebook! Would love to make more friends! :D ngeeeeeeeeeee~

Till next time.

Hi guys!

Hope everyone's doing great during this holiday season! (well, it's holiday season for me anyway! :P too bad if it isn't for you :P) Anywayz... I'm sorry, well, for more than just not updating for more than a month but also for not going to blog for another month or two... Hahaha... Lazy much? hehehe... So I don't think you can expect any new posts till... early august the earliest... But if you're feeling lucky, i might post something up before then; like end of july which is just a week difference, but it is a difference... hahahaha...

Anywayz, why the leave of absence you may ask? Well... starting this tuesday (16th june) I'll be on a globe-trotting trip across a few european countries... 9 in total i must say... muahahaha... crazy much? maybe... lol. Anywayz, wish me luck in accomplishing this very tiring but (hopefully) fun task! And yeah... need all the prayers for exams... hoping everything goes well so that this trip can run smoothly on! :D ngeeeeeeeee~

So a lil summary of the planned trip... shall we continue? We'll be going to ESPANA! urm... i think that's how you spell it in spanish... Anywayz, Spain; the places i remember that we're going amongst them are Madrid, Barcelona, Granada... Urm... and the others I have no idea... lol... Da pic below is da famous sagrada familia. (any fans of pokemon may know that this is a featured architecture in the... urm, 10th movie; the rise of darkrai - spoken like a true pokenerd there!)

Next up is FRANCE! Since I'm planning the trip for france I can give more details, but since i'm a lazy bum anywayz, i'll just keep it short... We'll be going to Paris; da city of light? city of love? city of money sucking people since it's pretty much the most expensive place i have to plan to... Anywayz... Paris aside, we're also going to Disneyland! :D (2nd tyme but after a decade, there're tons of addition! can't wait!). After those two... We'll be going to Marseille and Nice and most probably drop by Monaco since it's near enough with Nice already. France done... next!

Next comes ITALIA! Italy for us non-italians! hehehe... We'll be staying in Milan (still thinking of what to do there...). Then heading off to Rome! Enough said... hahahaha... Urm, but since i just watched Angels and Demons (yeah2, it's been out for a while but hey, we've been driven to the grounds by exams remember?) so we're also visiting Vatican City. From the movie, it looks cool. Hopefully the real deal will be as grand as my expectations or more... Venice is a no-go since we've already been...

Next all i know is that we're going to Vienna, Austria... Not much is known about the plan... hahahaha... Maybe cruising around da country (since it's not that big...)

Next up is CZECH REPUBLIC! Going to prague and all da other cities. Hopefully we can meet up with da guys that are staying there who are still in the midst of exams I think.

After czech, POLAND will be our next stop. Warsaw and Krakow was the two cities mentioned. Don't know much more than that.

Then GERMANY will be visited. Berlin? Berlin Wall? (Not much is known about the plans for Germany since I didn't pay much attention then... hahahahaha...)

Next will be the NETHERLANDS. Amsterdam and Rotterdam. That's all, i think.

And lastly... BELGIUM. Brussels and all da chocolate! hahahahaha

Anywayz... that's a summary of most of my european trip. Our planned trip back to dublin is on da 20th July... And my planned flight back to MALAYSIA (mish home so much! hahahahaha mish chubby lil' adik so much...) is on da 29th of July but I may make it earlier... MAY being the active word to emphasize... Since extending my stay in dublin from 20th to 29th seems... urm... i dunno... I don't feel that I need to spend that much time. May as well go home early and sleep for a whole week through.... hahahahaha; exhausted + jet lag + i sleep a lot anyway.

Almost forgot... another blog award from RdhanZ. Thanx!

Anywayz guys, have fun with whatever you are doing. Pray for my safety, pray for my success in da exam results and pray, pray, pray! See ya guys whenever I see ya.

Hi guys...

I never seem to really be away from the blog, am I? hahahahaha... Well, exam draws nearer and I don't wan't my stay in Malaysia to be shorter than it should (for repeat exams) so i have to do well, or at least; pass! hahahaha

Anywayz, just taking a few mins to dedicate this post to my mama dearest! love you loads and loads and loads... nothing in the world can quantify my love towards you (which would be in many many folds back the other way gak kan, mama? hahaha).

Here's a lil photoshop project i made and sent to her (which hasn't arrived yet... lol)

I also ordered flowers for her (which turned out not as i expected, you can see from the pics below). I did not regret sending those to her cos i love her... I only regreted not choosing a better service... huhuhu... badmouthing a florist in particular? nah... to mature for that (yeah right). Tips for the future... survey more florist before actually buying it! (a lil furstrated but my mum's happy with it...)

[mama, i love you...]

[da pink flower bouquet]

[mama with da bouquet]

Anywayz... Won't be dedicating anything here... hahahaha (cos my parents won't be reading my blog... well, i hope not anyway). Everything's been put onto paper, pasted onto a card and shipped back home... just waiting for it to arrive... hahahaha...

Mama... I LOVE YOU FOREVER AND EVER!

To my chubby lil' bro: ADIK BULAT! ADIK BULAT! ADIK BULAT! (hahahahaha)

You can marah your abang all you like when he gets back home! I messaged my mum to send my regards to 'budak bulat' and then i got a reply from da lil' guy himself... here's da whole conversation for your enjoyment:

ok, x pa ja... rsyd sini siang. nnt suh je abah tlg transferkn. kim slm kt dak bulat tu.

2009-04-30T12:32:00.000-07:00

A few hours away from da usual oral anatomy test and I felt like taking a breather... haih... Reading through the humongous load of e-mails through my school's Alumni YG, I couldn't be more happier (hahaha... just wanna add that 'more' in front of da superlative! dun scould me Usth Niza n Ust Kamaliah...) reading about the success that my juniors have achieved.

To my dearest juniors, I would like to CONGRATULATE you on your success in 'The 8th Interschool Debating Championship 2009'. For someone who is very2 far away, can't do much but wait for the news through the Alumni YG. lol. And for a very lazy medic student, i've gone out of my ways to upload a few pics of the event (that i took from kak yun's blog! ngeeeee~ :D w/o permission)

and guys, i really like what you said:

"...Kami sedar sekolah kami tidak ternama seperti pasukan lawan, tetapi kita tidak patut melihat kepada siapa yang bercakap tetapi kepada apa yang diperkatakan..."

very2 touching (tetibe emotional... muahahaha)

[The stage is set for the final debate! Owh, it's alread started. My bad... (SMIH vs STAR)]

[Ilham, Eli Syazwani, Nur Liyana (not sure which girl is which - sorry if it's wrong! I only know Ilham :P)]

[When the winner was announced]

[JOHAN, tiga ribu sahaja? lol... i like 'sahaja' at the end... :P]

Was I in debates? Nope... hahaha, never had that much confidence in front of big crowds (stakat mulut lazer jer... tu pon kt KMB la start bermulut lazer secare aktif :P). But I was the MC for a debate back in our days! hahahaha... Years back, we were probably the first batch that started debating in school. It was more towards interclass and interforms. But still, I didn't do much good in debates! hahaha... Thankfully the school's gone forward with the debating theme! Go forth into the world and show 'em that we're great too guys and gurls! ngeeeeeeee~

Anywayz... Not much of my friends knew which school I was from when I was in KMB; it usually ends with 'the private daily school'. Don't get me wrong, I was proud of my backgrounds even though i don't really act much as a successful product of it (blame me, it's all my fault! My school was great :D How i wish i was in it forever!- overexageration but that's me). It's just hard when everyone else doesn't know anything about it! But now, after a few years of its establishment, I'm really proud of you Sekaloh Menengah Islam Hidayah for at a tender age of 14 years, you've already made name for yourself!

Anywayz... I should be getting back to my anatomy revision... 16 hours left... huhuhu... scared? Not too sure if I'm that scared since it does only total up to only 2.5% but still... 2.5% does help in sticky situations... An A, a -B... Maybe another A tomorrow? With god's willing...

Laterz dudes and dudettes!

.:: Tyra Miss You ::.

2009-04-19T13:23:00.000-07:00

This is a story of a gurl... and a guy...

One day, a girl named Tyra was walking up Grafton Street towards St Stephen's Green. She was beaming with excitement and happiness. If everyone else could be considered as stars scattered all over the dark night, calling Tyra the illuminous moon would be an understatement. Her every step were bouncy. Her feelings were ecstatic. But then again, why was she this happy?

Tyra skipped as she approached the big entrance gate of the park. Her excitement grew even more as she saw the guy that she hasn't seen for centuries! She hummed a tune to a song they both used to love listening together. Then the guy looked back seeing the girl he used to love being with so much. He stood up and walked over to her.

"Tyra Miss You..."

"I miss you too..."

And then, we're going to end the story there. I'll leave it up to your imaginations to conjure up an appropriate sweet ending to that little anecdote. Lol... sorry... muahahahahaha!

Anywayz... Tyra Miss You is just another way of pronouncing the ever so delicious dessert, tiramisu. A very good friend of mine; cHaQ with his blog 'Dari Sini Ke Bintang-Bintang' has posted a very easy recipe for a very easily made tiramisu. I liked the idea of not having to take too long in preparing the dessert so I tried it last friday night.

[This is my first failed attempt at making it... muahahahaha]

Anyway... What's with all the get-up under the failed-attempt at making a tiramisu? Is it a regular stand being decorated with a few 'borrowed' scarf? Or is it something very-very different? I'll let you ponder on that and I'll relieve you with the answer at the end of the post (which you can just scroll down to now if you wanted to... lol).

Anywayz... On saturday a friend of mine organized a suprised birthday party for his very special girl. Awww... shueeet... It wasn't even her actual birthday so she was suprised! hahaha... We had to have it early due to annoying exams... The party went smoothly i think... it lasted way too long but i was glad it did cos i haven't had much fun with these peeps for ages.

Da hostess prepared Nasi Lemak with sambal udang... OMG worth of deliciousness! LoL. And they also made fried bee hoon. Myself and no.1 brought deserts. I made TyraMissYou and no.1 made cheesecake, which was more delicious than the ones I made! hahaha... Da student has exceeded da sensei, even on his first attempt! Sedey2 but I was glad cos now people can bug no.1 with cheesecakes requests rather than bug me! muahahahaha... (i've had much fun in da culinary spotlight, let it shine on no.1 next :P)

Owh btw, who's no.1? He's my housemate? Why am I dubbing him with 'no.1'? Just because I want to! Cos it's my blog! Hahahaha. Anywayz... aside from all da food we had (which kept me stuffed right up till the next morning), we also had riddles! The riddles kindda took up a few hours but it was fun! hahahahaha... I'll end this post with a few of the riddles and answers, and also the answer to the question i asked a few paragraphs back.

Question: What is the biggest animal on earth?

A whale you say? Nope...
IKEA? (Yunus came up with that answer somehow...)
A blue whale? That's still a whale la!
The answer is...
A whale tempura! muahahahahahaha (lame but funny to me)

Question: What is the biggest wok in the world?

Why would you want to know that
Hurm....
And the answer?
The wok that fried the whale tempura! muahahahaha

And the answer to what was under the TyraMissYou?
A chopping board and a bowl filled with 2 cute lil goldfish! ngeeeee~

.:: L.O.V.E ::.

2009-04-15T00:18:00.000-07:00

Yeah... I think I also caught the bug... sigh... suddenly so smitten... maybe the blame can be put on the season; spring where there are many new beginnings. But that would be selfish of me to put the blame upon something other than my own self... sigh...

L.O.V.E makes you feel so happy.

L.O.V.E makes you feel content.

L.O.V.E makes you feel that everything else revolves around you... yet nothing else actually matters when you are in the embrace of L.O.V.E.

(why am i referring love as L.O.V.E anyway? lol... it's looks more important typed like that! :P)

[in love and lonely? why would that be?]

Okay... I have to admit that the picture above is perculiar, right? How can someone be in love yet be lonely?!?!?! Hurm... should i explain? Well... it's simple... The picture was cute and i liked it so, hahaha... anywayz... let's continue...

[Love Shines Through]

I love many things... My family... My friends... but that's beside the point... Who doesn't love their family and friends right? (alright... maybe there are people out there put on a tough act and says they don't but deep down they would still have a soft spot for their family and friends... no arguments there...). But like i said, that's beside the point... Loving another is quite a miraculous compasion cause your own feelings are put into works towards that significant other... I just have to express my feeling (hey, it's my blog, i'd do what i like with it!) out loud... hahaha... (because i can't do it on facebook... :P). I Love You... Who?

[Pages Coiled Up to Express That Magnificent Sensation!]

I love you... Literature! muahahahahaha... Well... That's all folks... :P Alright... i'll type a lil more... I love reading... May it be published books or just stories made up by people posted on the web (the latter is quite interesting too...). I can't deny that a good story does keep me curled up in bed just wanting more and more. Just wanting to get to the end to know what actually happens...

I love to write too... I used to write but nowadays... Medic has clogged my passion up... sigh... However, that writer's urge do tend to dominate every now and then... Especially after I've read/seen/watched something great giving inspiration to write. Sometimes dreams too make beautiful narrations (although most of the time i barely remember much details of...).

LoL... I don't really know the point of typing up this post aside from just updating on another one of my revamping attempt on the blog. I guess I did make a point that literature is great... lol... Peeps out there... Do not just live in the reality that you have to routinely carry out day in and day out... Give your imaginations some boost by diving into the world of fiction once in a while...

Huhuhu... i do not see much coherence in this post... (yet i claim that i like to write? this somehow seems as though they're two opposing traits... but hey... i haven't written in ages... give me a break :P).

Well folks... Dudes and Duddettes that has actually read up till this point, thanx for reading.

See ya next tyme!

Laterz...

2009-03-13T20:40:00.000-07:00

'It saddens me to say this but i dun think i can keep up with keeping this blog up anymore...' was what i was thinking of posting one of these fine days... but thinking two three times about blogging, about how much it space it gives me to express whatever la... and to use my english! And how this blog provides me with a space to rant nearly random stuff most of the time...

So here i am... not sleeping again and had that feeling to blog! lol... so what has been going on since the last post? (which is in flipping january for pete's sake! damn... that's nearly 2 months already...). Well dear readers... a lot has been going on, off, over, under etc. Since I have been a lazy bum all these time, i would not like to punish myself and promise you that i'd post things up later (which might never happen) but i'll just take the easy way out and summarize... hahahaha...

Okie dokie... First up, there was that trip i took to Venise! That romantic city with flowing canals everywhere... What's the scoop with that trip? Well... I went with my coursemate, Jeck and Azmi and a housemate of mine, Ammar. The weather kindda sucked though. We got snow the 1st day we arrived. The it rained the 2nd day. But thankfully it was sunny n bright on the 3rd day. And how many days did we stay there? Technically, i would say 3 since our 4th day was mostly filler with our journey back to Dublin.

Summarizing Venise... It's a lovely lil city... Romantic, ideal for lovie dovies, camera obsessed photographers and well, i would actually reccommend it to anyone but please please please go in the summer! It'll be much nicer. A damp Venise was ok but when I imagined myself going there, i imagined small winding yellow lanes with a touch of sunlight. It'd be goldenny coloured and so on but the weather took that all away... So please do visit Venise anytime in the hot seasons! :D

Oh and the Gondola is worth the money i guess... To me, not riding the Gondola is kindda a wasted trip to Venise cos it does show you another kindda atmosphere of the lil floating city. Azmi, Jeck and I took a Gondola ride at dust... I would advise to take it during the day... Better pics for you cam whores! lol... But seriously, you'd get a better view and better pics when the sun's out!

Okie...
So seeing as how things are going i don't think this is actually what you can call summarizing... heck let's just get on with it... Well, my 1st sem exam wasn't something to be proud of but i thankfully passed all the requirements and do not need to resit the papers sometime in aug/sept. Which means that I can go back home! yay! (and may HE let me do my very best in sem 2 as well...).

Moving on...
What happened in February? I truthfully do not really remember anything that significant that left much of a special memory... Thing happened i guess... hurm... lemme see... Owh yeah... It actually snowed quite well in Dublin... Well, for those who did not watch the news (i don't blame you, the very action of pressing the remote to the channel with news does slip my mind MOST of the time) there was this time when snow was hitting UK quit hard, London suffering (why do i call it suffering? it's fluffy white snow....) the worst hit ever but i think people liked it! It doesn't usually snow that hard in these parts of Europe (and i say that from experience of being born and raised here... yeah right! hahaha!).

Who doesn't like snow?

Owh well... I guess I'll stop here for now... I'm sorry but i don't really like posting pics up... it messes the text and stuff... but i'll try to bare with the pain-staking task... hahahaha... just for you dear readers... lol...

Ciao for now folks... later dudes and duddettes

2009-01-23T16:07:00.000-08:00

Hiya PeePs!

I'm back! hahaha... i would like to apologize for not posting up something right after my exams ended but i don't think i need to! hahaha (such rudeness is sometimes needed in life, live with it! :P). Well peeps, what did this lil guy do after his exams ended? Did he go on a movie marathon or sleeping marathon?!?!?! No sir, he did not... This lil guy instead... wait... lemme recall... owh well, just went to eat out with a few friends... Yunus, Pau n Tyra... We had fish and chips... I would recommend the fish but the chips was a totally different story...

Well anyway, once i got home, I went on a MAD baking spree... Yes, this lil guy did do something very productive... hahaha... which does make you wonder if the exams has made him blow his fuse or something... but this lil guy has a reason to his very unusual (and unstable) behaviour; it was for a january burfday party held the day after... It was intended to be a lil gathering but somehow became very HUGE but no complaints there... MORE PEEPS = MORE FOOD VARIATIONS! hahahaha... yes, this lil guy was also being selfing in the midst of being kind... whatever la... let's get on to the main subject shall we?

22.01.2009

So this lil guy started to bake a chocolate cake... but he knew that it'll be quite small... so he decided to make two and place them on top of each other to make it taller; more worthy looking for birthdays... hahaha... Hey, i believe that the exterior aspect is as important as the interior! it's a double threat gitew... what would make it a triple threat i do not know... Well, moving on... So here's a few pics of the process of how the product was achieved! After he was done with the now dubbed 'choco madness cake' (credits goes to shukor of liverpool for actually asking for the name which i have not even thought about before) simply because he went mad with the chocolates, this lil guy then went on and made cupcakes! or muffins! dunno... it's either one... but it's edible, that's the most important part right. rather than argue whether they were cupcakes or muffins, it's better to tall you that they tasted quite great; even if i do say so myself! =) But since it was late already then, i did not master up enough mental capacity to actually think about taking the pics of the process of making them... lol... to tired then... :P So I'll just let you marvel at the pic...

[da process of making choco madness]

[top; choco madness , bottom; strawberry and white choco muffin/cupcakes]

23.01.09

So today... we had that january burfday bash! it was quite cool (even though i was like... totally shocked at how late i woke up! Kindda rushed wth everything; shower, getting ready (hahaha... only those 2 pown nak wat...) then Dani D n Me walked all the way to RCSI... we thought we were the late ones when in fact, we were among the few early birds... hahaha... irony... but hey, x kesah pown at the tyme... The ones that were already there at the tyme were Shida, Dhil, Lokman, Casper n Azmi (along with my cupcakes that my housemate Ammar brought with him a few minutes ahead of us). After most of us were there, I kindda marvelled at the food that was there... There were cakes (made by yours truly), fried noodle, ice cream!, sausage rolls, fish crackers!, wedges... i think that was it... then ee n aus came with DADIH which i sadly didn't eat... low apetite this morning even though i was starving like mad! hahaha...

Later on in the evening I went to the movies! Watched 'My Bloody Valentine 3D' with Anis, Mashitah n Azmie. This movie is so tiring! Why? because it has a lot of suspence, a lot of things that can make you scream (yes, i did scream, quite a lot for that matter...) and well... it makes you think quite a lot too... but be warned... A WHOLE LOT OF VERY RUTHLESS KILLING AND BLOOD! hahaha... with that said, i think you would be able to enjoy it... it's interesting to say the least but after it ended, you'll feel very tired at all the screaming, all the curling up into a ball, all the shielding your view from very painful looking killing and so on... hahaha... but it was fun

[My Bloody Valentine]

kay dudes and dudettes... i have to leave you with only this for now... i'll probably be posting up something else soon! hahaha... just wait and see! laterz...

Hey y'all...

So if you haven't noticed, the layout's different... And it's strange too! LoL... I kindda don't like it at the moment but i can't let my hard work go to waste... so here it is for your viewing enjoyment! Hahahaha...

Well anyhow... Nothing much happened yesterday as I was mostly bedridden the whole day... not because of any disease or anything... just lethargy! and yeah... am not going to do anything crazy like sleeping for only an hour for a while! hehehe... I've done something on an very similar basis before when i was in McB (Mara College Banting) when i did not sleep (nope... not because of studies...) the whole night... but the next day i slept like a log! hahaha... from the evening till about 11pm! yeah... and i was fasting then too! bukak puase at 11pm? interesting kan? hahaha...

Well... I guess I don't have much to post up this tyme... Raring to end the exams soon! 3 more papers and I'm free! then I'll start getting scared of the results coming out... that's probably the basic life cycle of a student that probably everyone actually goes through right? sigh... But i am getting pretty bored...

Owh BTW, anyone ever heard of the song 'once upon a dream'? It's quite cute to be honest... so to anyone that has ever had a romantic dream ever in their life, i dedicate this song to you... (^o^) Enjoy...

LyRiCS:

I know you,
I walked with you once upon a dream...
I know you,
The gleam in your eyes is so familiar a gleam...
I know it's true,
That visions are seldom what it seems...
But If I know you,
I know what you'll do,
You'll love me at once,
the way you did once upon a dream...

Once upon a tyme,
I dream we were together, in love forever,
once upon a night,
I was wishing for a never, a never ending,
once upon a tyme,
once upon a night,
once upon a wish,
once upon a dream...

I know you,
I dance with you once upon a night...
Ther we were,
Wishing this dance would last forever all tyme,
I hope it's true,
This vision is more than what it seems...
Cause if dreams come true,
i know what we'll do,
we'll dance once again,
the way we did then, upon a dream...

Once upon a tyme,
I dream we were together, in love forever,
once upon a night,
I was wishing for a never, a never ending,
once upon a tyme,
once upon a night,
once upon a wish,
once upon a dream...

and so on... can't be bothered to type no more! :P

till next tyme, laterz dudes and dudettes! =)

He had the Nerve!

2009-01-16T02:44:00.000-08:00

As I was saying before... I have oral anatomy exam today... yeah... just had it at 9.10am in the morning... GOSH... how early was that! hahaha... It got me out of bed earlier than i usually do! LoL... But leaving the house early like today, it felt kindda great in a way cos i haven't done something like walking to RCSI in the morning for quite some time already...

anyway... who had the nerve?!?!?! I got Dr Jane Holland (my mentor!) and Mr Paul Farell for my anotomy exam... LoL... It was kindda ok i guess... quite some mix ups here and there... but i was really confused with the nerves! hahaha... I HATE NERVES! but without nerves, we won't function that well now, would we? A whole semester of anatomy ended with 10 minutes of oral exam... how ironic things can get... but yeah... i don't have much complaints... what's done is done! 3 more papers next week... Neuromuscular on Tuesday... Histology on Wednesday... Health Behaviour and Society on Thursday! and then... I'm home free for a few weeks before class starts on the 9th of Feb! Yay! And I've already planned to watch 'Bride's War' with a few peeps from UCD and RCSI naturally la kan... hehehe... Eagerly waiting for the 22nd... but then i'd have to be worrying about the results coming out on the 6th! Well... nothing much then... just pray for the best...

Moving on swiftly... I think that's probably all for today's post... Sleepy + Mild Headache... possible cures? SLEEP! What else is there to it? Owh yeah... to N, sorry that now because of my previous post, you're glued to Lipstick Jungle too! hahaha... it's great... i know... you can thank me plenty later on after you're done with the series... :P

Owh... and what was great was that when I returned home... I checked for new Mangas... And 2 mangas was published on the same day! (The ones that i read la...) Naruto and Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicles! a capital YAY for that! hehehe... These images are very bad photoshop products of mine as it only took a few minutes to cut and paste but hey... there're just there for decorative purposes and well... just wanted to put lil chunks from the manga for your enjoyment (or not... still... it's there! :P)

peace out and laterz dudes and dudettes! =) Owh, btw, don't you think the sage naruto looks cool? awesome ain't it? I dunno why the link won't work... sorry about that...

What's with the title of the post? Hahaha... it's just a song on the OST i just recieved via post this evening... But's I'll talk about that a little more in depth (like i'd do that) later on...

First and foremost... I have not been updating in a VERY long time... And in the midst of the exams... I have been blog hopping here and there... I've been reading (aside from the notes) and I was inspired to post more! LoL... As the heading of the blog says... it is a place for my (sometimes) worthless rants! hahaha...

Moving on swiftly... EXAMS... Whoever invented exams should die! hahaha Or maybe the're already dead already... Ok, i don't literally mean that... but doesn't exam makes your life... a little more hectic? packed? boring? I feel the same thing but i do think that exams does make your life a little more interesting... a little... note that... Well, it made me blog hop more... it made me more addicted to the net... it made me cry (hahaha, the cat's out of the bag!)... it made me hyper (ask my housemates! caffiene should not be mixed with cocoa... honestly... but it does taste ABSOLUTELY GREAT!)...

So 2 papers down already... the first one was haemopoetic and immune system... the second one was nutrition and energy... i have no comment on how i fared on either one... only hoping for the best... lol... well well... let's just leave that topic as it is... and oral anatomy on friday! my week has been a BLAST! i think even my abdomen can be blasted from the inside from all the influx of unnecessary food... (and this sentence just came from the mind of a future doctor? hahaha... what's the future gonna be like? FUN!)

Anyway... once i start to type... it's quite hard to stop... posting new stuff on a blog is kindda addictive... (that coming from someone who hasn't updated in ages... sigh...). Well... I was thinking of revamping the blog with a new layout which ended up as just a very good intention... but i did try... just didn't work out too well... so i've given up momentarily... will try to do it again sometime after the exams! hahaha...

So, where were we? Owh well... lemme just comment on a series i've watched... Britney Marican... i know you don't read my blog, but just wanna tell you that i appreciate it very much that you introduced me to Lipstick Jungle! hahaha... (strolling down memory lane... i remembered you only mentioning it really... but then again, that's the only thing you needed to do and the result was that i was hooked! hahahaha)

Lipstick jungle is very... interesting... it shows you the scandalous life of manhattan's elite... Owh wait, that's Gossip Girl (which is still THE BOMB! hahaha MORE MORE MORE!) This series is about these gurls down here... good friends, different careers, life etc but they's still best friends and all... Robert Buckley might be another factor, but that's a whole other story... I know i shouldn't have mentioned it but hahaha... whatever... But seriously... A fashion designer, an ex-film director probably, and an editor of a magazine... HOW TOTALLY AWESOME are their careers? I do not have any regrets (a little white lie) in becoming a doctor-to-be but hey... a guy can dream about having more than what he's actually trying to achieve! hahaha... And like... owh... i should stop already about lipstick jungle and move on to the title of the post...

[Wendy Healy - Victory Ford - (and the very lucky) Nico Reilly]

Moving onto 'New Classic'... That's the title of a song that was in this movie... 'Another Cinderella Story'... A cheap immitation of 'A cinderella Story' you say? Well... I honestly enjoyed it so i wouldn't really say it like that... But in many ways, you could actually predict what was going to happen... But on the plus side... THERE's TOTALLY LOTS OF DANCING! yeah! a really weird passion of mine that probably not many knew... I love dancing but i do not dance much... weird, but true... But i do want to... And i honestly have to say i have done a little ever since i've stepped foot into RCSI... hahahaha... just dancing, nothing more... :P

Anywayz... about the cast... Selena Gomez is probably a rising starlett... she was on barney! (yeah... and i think i've seen her on barney at home! I do watch barney... not ashamed of it since i can always use the excuse of watching it with my lil siblings!). Selena's the ella in the story... And prince very very charming? who's that guy... la la la la la la la la (adaptation of pink's 'whos that gurl')... Drew Seeley... Not a very familiar name, i know... but hey... he's familiar to me... He sang on a few disney songs before so i kindda know his name a little before watching this... BOTH are FANTASTIC dancers... (rehearsals? maybe... maybe just inborn talents? hahaha). Anyway... there's no FAIRY GODMOTHER so it wasn't all abra kadabra... the stepmother is hilarious, not much evil... but still, the whole movie was kindda... well... hurm... it's not something that makes you jump or those kindda stuff... unless you join in with the dance steps... it just gives you those mushy feelings at times... and the ending is so so a fairytale... just that much i don't agree on, but the rest... a very relaxing movie to enjoy... owh... the tango scene is priceless! =)

[selena gomez - drew seeley]

Well... that's probably all for my post tonight... (or maybe i could class it as morning already... it's half past midnight... sigh... another late nighter... but that's to expect...). Toodles dudes and dudettes! Hopefully more to come in the near future!

2008-12-02T12:18:00.000-08:00

Just a lil' ol pic of lil ol me to start things off... A lil taster of the coming celebration in Ireland... that's right... da long awaited... Eid-ul-Adha! Which falls on da 8th of December is I am so not mistaken (but i think i might be...). All da pilgrims jetting of to da holy land of mecca... Gosh... one day i might be lucky enough to go too... (but how ready would i be? well... if i wanted to wait to be completeley ready; the tyme would never come! rite?). Remembering back home, how this holiday is celebrated makes me mish home! but I'm strong! yeah! stronger than yesterday! (gosh... more ranting...). My family's gonna go back to kedah! and i'm in dublin...

Anyway... moving on... aside from Eid-ul-Fitr, christmas is also coming up (and whoever that haven't noticed would probably be smacked in the face with mistletoe!). Christmas deco is up all around. Even if we don't celebrate it... it does look beautiful... enchanting... lol... gets you in the mood for... HOLIDAYS! yay! yay! yay! 2 more weeks, 2 more weeks, 2 more weeks... then holidays! then exam... (why did i have to snap back to reality ever so quickly? i'll never know...)

Anyway... moving on yet again (we've moved on quite a lot now eh?) addicted? what does that have to do with anything i've typed so far? NOT A SINGLE THING AT ALL... hahaha...

Let's start the story with a guy... This guy was all happy and dovey with his family at home... then suddenly, he was shipped quite far away from his family... he knows he had to do it one of these days; but why so soon? his family was rooting him on so he went with the flow... being away from the happy and dovey self he was back home, this guys started to miss everything he left behind... waaa... he was; as brintey says; not 'in the zone'. hahaha... then he kindda had mood changes which he thaough was weird because he does not suffer from PMS! lol... again, he felt wierd... then he actually told his parents about it... they worried a little... then they advised him... he took the advise well and moved on...

What does that story have to do with addiction? well... that was the initiation phase of this kindda useful addiction to try out new recipes! he wanted to bake, bake, bake! hahaha... So the guy kindda went mad and shopped quite a lot of baking utensils (down to the elctronic whisk!). So he baked! and he loved it... So that guy wanted to share with the readers what he has baked so far... along the wide spectrum of failures and masterpieces! hahaha

So this is a choclate cake he tried using a recipe he found online. He followed the recipe (partly, like he usually does) and it turned out... OK he guessed. He was concerned that it was too soft and wobble so he put it in a fridge... the next day he woke up... the cake was hard! lol... and it tasted like... too chocolaty and sweet to his liking... so he kindda gave it to his friends... but the chocolate cream on top was too thick he thought... but it was edible and good... just to much chocolate...

Up to date, the guy has baked 2 chocolate cake using the same recipe... the second tyme he experimented with the baking tyme and guess what? it turned out hard! like if thrown at you, you'd at the very least feel a throbbing pain! so next tyme, he'd stick more to the recipe... but eventhough it turned out bad... the guy neatly sliced the very odd parts and covered it with chocolate cream like he is supposed to and took it to usrah... and guess what? they liked it yet again... the guy is very confused and tried to avoid making it again so far... but the guys wants to note that the chocolate cake is the 3rd recipe he tried baking... what happened to the earlier 2?

The guy wants you to marvel at the flooding cream around his not so great apple crumble... He followed most of the recipe, but it didn't turn out like it was shown on the video... the guy was kindda frustrated and that was his only attempt at crumbling apples! hahaha... because he tasted a really great apple crumble from LiDL which is awesome! and cheap! so he wants to not waste his tyme with more apple crumble in the future... (and he wants to point out that it was delicious none the less, just not good enough in terms of looks and hardness...). He is telling everyone that this was the 2nd recipe he tried out... what was the first?!?!?!

Again... you can marvel at the masterpiece in front of your eyes... the guy was kindda proud of his baked cheesecake! and he thanks his friend for the recipe! He had baked 2 batches of cheesecakes and numourous peeps have tried it... and liked it which he likes too! he bakes for others, satisfying himself in the process... he is weird, i know... but hey... The first cheesecake he baked was devoured by his usrah mates and when his friends saw this very mouthwatering pic, they asked why they didn't get a bite?

He was like... "the world does not revolve around you gurlfriend! ahaks!" but that was not verbalized... just remained as a thought bubble to you and me... so he baked another batch which he made for his friends! i know he is weird, but what can i say... what's done is done... so the guy cut up the cake and went all around town to deliver it to his friends... then he was informed that encik khames was looking for him... he was one of the last ones to submit the bank form... so he rushed to mara hq that afternoon... hahaha... what a hectic but enjoyable day (he thought) without studying! lol...

So that was the story of a guy addicted to baking... thankfully... he somehow grew out of the addiction (for a while, he hopes)...

Kay guys... bubbye... got to go and study for card-signings! If anything interesting happened at the chocolate ball this friday, you'll know i'll post! hahaha

peace out and later dudes and duddettes

-------------
lil quicky update...

The guy would also like to point out that he loves gossip gurl! yay! epidsode 12 is out peeps!

and for some reason, i just want to shout out;

THEY STILL EXIST! WOOHOO! YAY!

-going crazy? maybe

DoCToR WHo?!?!?!

2008-11-11T13:13:00.000-08:00

I just realized (oh... what a lie) that i haven't updated lately, have I? Hurm, well I guess I have to post something up to keep this blog alive and going well, it beats looking into an anatomy book and memorizing everything...

Doctor Who?!?!?!Yeah, I may not be original, but hey, it's the best i could think of at the time... I've been questioning myself why I'm becoming a doctor? What brought up the question all of a sudden? Good question... I guess it comes from numourous aspects probably... Not really feeling happy as usual, all the lectures, all the anatomy to memorize, the weather (mind you, it really is getting freezing!) and well... let's not dwell deeper shall we now...

It's quite fun remembering the good old days... How things were so easy... How things might not seem to feel a burden... How you have less responsibilities on you... God, I miss those days so dearly much...

Being exposed to the western world (and western ways) fairly early in life, I do quite see my life sometimes too... too ordinary? yeah, i'll go with that word... I remembered back when i was growing up in loughborough, uk; life was so easy going... life was a bliss! it was care-free... i had total control of myself, total confidence in who I am; who I want to be. On the left is a pic of s club 8... you could google it but hey, there's nothing much to see; anymore. Well, i was a big fan of entertainment back then... (i still am, in a lesser manner) I love watching everything to do with pop music. I loved dancing to them too, yes; dancing! Not only to the s club 8 (which came into existence just before i left for malaysia) but to many popbands which is literally driven to extinction (spell check!). But that was that... I even thought of singing (bad idea, can't sing!) or acting (yeah... i hate cameras!) but look at all those possibilities even though they might be worldly... But am I not right in saying that quite a lot of kids do dream to be famous and (filthy) rich? sigh... maybe it's only my imagination... well, moving on...

Doesn't fantasy seem so fun? Well, it's not really fantasy but gossip girl does give that air of life that seems so out of reach to us... but yeah, these kindda lives are very cool looking! How in schools they even have social standng, having queens and all... it's just as if it sprung out of a novel (which it somehow did) but how fun it would be to feel like that... (my mind's been washed by western ideologies! yay! =P) Aside from the high classes upper east-siders, watching how schools are in the west does makes you feel that your life might have gone a little duller than it could have been if you lived over at the other side... no? But let's just leave it at that shall we? The point is there's so much possibilities in life than the ones right in front of your eyes... Just need your eyes to be opened wider at very importnant stepping stones in life...

This pic is just for fun... but it's something importnant too... It's a manga i love reading; tsubasa reservoir chronicles... it's very interesting; CLAMP used quite a lot of crossovers from its other works into this and the XXXholics manga... Yeah... that's my life... somehow being at home (i mean the one in dublin) only results in me hogging up the laptop and constantly online... WASTING tyme mostly... But it's too cold to study! =) what an excuse... Owh... but this past saturday was really great! I got to chat and see quite a lot of my close friends, da b242 gang! How fun that was... we talked for quite some time really... Ikhwan, Nizam and I spent more than and hour, probably 2-3 but i don't really recall exactly how long... but it was fun... like the old days in kmb when we hanged out together and stuff. Than azri joined it to make things even more lively than it already is. and then rizal/izuan joined in! waa... how cool... if only nasa and chaq could have joined in too... then the whole crowd would be reunited throught the wonders of the internet! well... it's been quite a post already...

Euros! yeah... how i would love to have more! I want to shop like i used to in malaysia! but i also want to save up... I should summarize... What has all this post got to do with the title?!?!?! Well... it shows that i should have considered more options instead of only choosing between TeSL (is that how it is?) and medicine... BUT truthfully, even though there is a little feeling of regret, I don't totally regret my choice... well, my (lot of urges from the family except from my mama... love you...) choice...

My choices has made me the person I am today; even if i'm not satisfied with who i am at the moment, but those were mky choices. It has also given me all the experience with my friends, which are priceless! If people were given the choice to wound back time... It just doesn't really make much sense... hahaha... (this is also portrayed in tsubasa reservoir chronicles) It's quite selfish in a way... but hey... since it's imposible anyway, why waste time pondering on it? Whatever happens, nothing has been a coincedence... because there are no coincedence, only the inevitable...

In conclusion, I've been going through a series of depression for the past few days, and just needed to lash it out somehow... hahaha... but all the thigs above are relevant in my life, nothing was made up; intentionally... kay... siging off. peace out!

To all my friends; especially close ones, I love you guys! But I love my family more! =P MaMa, aBaH, aDiK and KaKaK, love you lots and lots and lots every single day of my life! muah! xoxoxo

cooking disasters!

2008-10-29T11:37:00.000-07:00

Yap... it's intentionally and supposed to be a plural! disaster'S' with a capital S...

Hahaha... living abroad forces you to cook... how i wish i was at home... you can just go outside and go to any restaurant; order a dish and eat! God... It's FREEZING! (got sidetracked there... it really is freezing nowadays)

Well anywayz... I think my first cooking disaster would be when i tried cooking 'ayam masak kurma' but hey... all the kuah dried up... which to me, wasn't much of a disaster, but it needed special mentions, cos it was the first dish that i cooked up! yay!

my first real disaster was when i tried cooking roti jala... hahaha... it was kindda hilarious now but was absolutely frustrating at the time... I asked the recipe over the phone; which now i know that my friend just gave partially... firstly, it was too stiff, then too runny... i tried making pancakes with it but it was too runny... to much water! so hey, it went down the drain! ahaks...

my second disaster was probably when i tried making a cheesecake! an amature trying to make a cheesecake?!?!?! yeah, it was ridiculous but hey, i wanted to try... bought all of the ingredients but i think i used a very high temperature on the over so all the biscuit base of the cheesecake was fried to da crust! it was black! hahaha... i kindda laughed but accepted it... it's all hitsuzen... an inevitable that i couldn't run from! just faced it...

so that day, no cheesecakes were made... but to tell ya the truth, the biscuits turned out ok if you scraped off the burnt parts! i bravely ate them all... i was lucky there weren't much to gobble up!

my third cooking disaster was with nasi ayam! hahaha...
everything was ok except for the rice itself... it was not salty and oily enough! LoL... it was like eating yellow rice... tastes the same as ever but coloured yellow... cool in a was or two, but hey... it was a failure!

kay... i think that's all...
need to study for my oral anatomy test this coming friday!
later dudes and dudettes!

Da Dearly Departed...

2008-10-29T06:29:00.000-07:00

Is this an orbiturary? nah... it's just a lil' post to show a lil respect to a soul that had just departed our world and have moved on... A lil show of respect from dublin since i wasn't around in malaysia where my friends were and could have shown physical support...

I'm babling too much already. Well, my condolences goes to my very good ex-schoolmate; Muhamad Hafidz Hamidi as his dad just died a few days ago due to complications with his lungs and blood (that's as much as i got to know)...

En Hamidi was really a great guy. I didn't really get to speak to him much but we had lil chats now and then when he sent me and Hafidz to our tuition classes prior to our SPM exam which was... 3 years ago...

I remember him well; always with a kopiah (a white hat for those of you who don't know), always. He carries with him this serene atmosphere everywhere he goes. He's so calm all the time.

May his soul rest in pease and may Allah bestow upon his soul the gift of Jannah... Al-Fatihah...

Hafidz, sorry I wasn't there to give you moral support when you probably most needed it. Just an sms, a freindster message and a call was what i was only capable of from afar... God, it's saddening how little you can do... May allah bestow upon you more courage (you're already a strong person!) to face the saddening truth and to live on! Many more obstacles are ahead...

Sorry for only a lil post to pay a lil respect to you En Hamidi... You'll surely be missed!

And Halim, do your best for your SPM (which will be in a few weeks if I'm not mistaken). I wish you all the best for that...

I'm speechless now...
Owh, I have a lecture in 20 minutes... should be off soon!
Sorry for updating with something sad, but hey, I just thought i needed to type this out for my own sake...

Later dudes and dudettes! Pray for me; I have an oral anatomy test this friday!
You'll probably be hearing something about it soon!

Posts to come;
- cooking disaster!
- card signing!

Mama, Abah, Kakak and Adik; know that I love you guys, now, always, eternaly...
again, later dudes and dudettes...

Homesickness...

2008-10-15T11:43:00.000-07:00

Yap... as the title suggest... I am down with homesickness... waaa... mama... abah... kakak... adik... mish you guys so so dearly! Why do i get this rush of emotion all of a sudden? Truthfully, i don't really know... maybe because it was my turn to cook today... but i don't think that was it though... hurm...

But before i got homesick... late last night (when it was 5am malaysian tyme, 10pm irish tyme) i called to chat with mama... how blissful it was to chat with her again... lol... i know... it's not that hard to just call her anytime i felt homesick, but today was kindda the first tyme it really hit me hard on da head... well... i knew mama was up early so i called to chat. We chatted for quite a while... 20 minutes or so... but i had to hang up cos she had to do the ironing and well, her cellphone was running out of battery too...

today even if my primary intention was to ask for my aunts address (which i asked from abah) but mama picked up the phone, which led to more chattering between us; not that i'm complaining... i was actually thankful... LoL... =)

then abah suggested that i just called his skype id, which will let us view each other... I was like, yeah, why not... i am using skype already anyway! so i did get to talk to adik... kakak was like always, so hahaha... we didn't talk much... she just shouted some stuff from the background; defending herself as adik was snitching on her... mish you two lil twerps so much! hahaha...

well then, mama took over the mic again... we talked and talked... she mentioned what happened last weekend and also what's been happening all this while... oh god... i wish we could have talked longer though... hahahaha... my homesickness is quite bad when it does come, doesn't it... =((

well... something new i learnt is that there'll be four weddings that i'll miss in 2009... one is my cousin's, and the other three are my aunt and uncles... my cousin'd getting married in the chinese new year holiday. one of my uncles is getting married during the mid term in march. and the other two weddings will happen around may-june... and i'll still be here in dublin when all of that is happening... boo hoo... but hey, that's life as an oversea student i guess...

i took this road, i'm not regretting it (much... hehehe). But hey... when homesickness comes, there's nothing in the world can compare to your family's warm embrace... i hugged myself with my duvet and kindda did nothing... hahaha... but i thought i should type out a post to pass the tyme and maybe it can take away a lil of my homesickness away... which i think it might have... LoL...

right... signing off...
later days dudes and dudettes!

RoCK CLiMBiNG aNYoNe?!?!?!

2008-10-13T14:20:00.000-07:00

Well... maybe not exactly rock... just a wall carved or made to be like rock... but still... anyone for climbing? I, for god knows what reason, joined the climbing and hiking club (even though I'm terrified of heights!) and today was the first ever climbing session...

So after breaking my fast (or having my break/fast) which was only a few gulps of water btw, I headed for Trinity College Dublin which was extremely huge after I entered the main gate... God... and i was supposed to find the sports center at the very end of the college... It was funny, interesting and well, one heck of a new experience venturing into unknown territories... I asked around and finnaly made it to the sports center.

Once I stepped into the climbing hall/room thinggy, I was shocked. It wasn't too high, but high enough to actually throw me all the way back home cos i started to feel scared, terrified even... but heck, i came all the way there... there was some excitement but fear was more dominant inside of me then...

I was a half-an-hour early, so i just sat and watched the preceeding group climb. When it came to our turn, i just took the lil courage that i had left inside of me and walked up to the intructor guy. He taught me how to tie the rope and all but heck, i was too nervous to remember then!

Then the time came... I started climbing... which got harder and scarier as i was higher into the air... God knows how much i weigh... try imagining me falling down and pulling up the anchor (da intructor guy) up! but thankfully, i didn't slip... Yet!

Then all of a sudden, i couldn't find anything to climb and pull myself up with... I slipped and probably dangled for a few seconds. Then my adrenalin probably kicked in and i scrambled for the wall! I tried climbing higher... nearly reaching the top but suddenly, my arm kindda shook like mad. It probably couldn't handle the enormous weight anymore...

"Urm... Could I come down now?!?!?!"

I looked down... terrifying view it was... but then the intructor smiled.

"Yeah sure... just walk yourself down" which would sound awfully weird but thatkfully, i wasn't the first so i knew what he meant! So i kindda slowly walked down.

"Well done, that was great!" Yeah right... thanx...

"I couldn't go up anymore after I fell..." That was all i could master at the time...

So then... I lost all the eagerness to climb some more... So i just sat and watch... Maybe next week might be better? Hopefully... I have to loose some weight to assist my arms in pulling this bags of sand up that wall!

Owh... All that was not much... but something did get me down today... I think today was the first time I actually needed to talk to other people (other than malaysians) alone, amongst canadian and americans mostly...

Only god knows how i felt... It was kindda awkward but when i did get to talk and chat, I stammered! I couldn't get my words out! how awful... and for those who knows me... How pathetic I was, right?!?!?!

So I'm here in my shared room... Pondering on how i can improve my spoken english... So far I can't really see much routes that can be taken... But i have to somehow... I felt embarrasing and pathetic! God help me!

Well, enough rants for today... I need to pray and then read up on the anatomy lesson we'll be having tomorrow! How much better can a medical student's life get? I'll probably find out when more clubs and societies starts to get active!

nyte dude and dudettes! later days...

All You Can It Buffet!

2008-10-10T16:13:00.000-07:00

Bonjour to all...

God, today felt like a real rush... literally... I had 2 lectures starting at 8am and guess what tyme i left da apartment?!?!?! 7.53am! LoL... unbelievably, I got into O'Flanagan's LT a few minutes before Dr McGarvey started her lecture on embryology... Which was totally cool... Literally...

Well... that was the whole rush thing over and done with... (my breakfast was a juicy green apple! healthy living la... hahahaha)... da dee da dee da... got off track again...

Well... I played basketball (competitively i might add) today before heading off to the city centre to occupy the few hours we have vacant before friday prayers...

Interestingly today... Jeck saw two guys entering a stall together... hurm... i wonder what they might be doing this early in the day! ahaks! Tusk, tusk... that's Jeck's first encounter of the paranormal in dublin... OR IS IT NORMAL?!?!?! That's something to ponder about... well than... moving on...

Azmi wanted to take us to an all you can eat buffet today... and luckily, we found da restaurant! yay! having fruits fill my stomach for da entire course of living today, i was starving!

we paid our fees and dug in! And to my dismay... I didn't eat as much... waaa... but i might have come close to the 8.99 euros i spent... MIGHT... How did i foget that i can't stuff my self senseless... duh... true, i am big... but my eating capacity is so suprisingly little for my size (which is what Jeck and Che Lim commented when they saw me forcing food down my gut!)

Well anyway... that was that... for any dublinners out there who wants to try da beffet out for themselves... it's called Bella's Pizzaria... On Liffey Street Lower (google it up... it's just a few strides away from the canal!)

I've read my friend's blog about being lonely, feeling a void in oneself... It's true isn't it... peeps do get those feelings once in a while... I remember me having those kind of feelings back at home, in my room... Just dazed and stared blankly into open space... it felt... empty, yeah... so why am i talking about this? I'm not too sure really... just one of those things i like to ramble upon probably...

Owh... and did i mention Eros (our senior) took us out to eat more FOOD around asar tyme! talk about a major houling of food into my gut! hahaha... but thankfully... I was blessed with the motivation to not waste food! hehehe... Should go on a weight-loss diet soon! (i know... i've tried it countless tymes before... did work for a lil span of tyme... but this tyme, it might be different! I'll try again)

Drowsily thinking about sleep doesn't make you want to sleep... thinking of revision does... hahaha... the thought of looking back into my anatomy notes has suddenly made me too lazy to continue typing and makes me think of my comfy bed and how hard it is to wake up and kick the duvet of me in the cold and chilly morning...

nyte2 dudes and dudettes...
(truthfully i dunno what i got from typing this post today... but it's an update what-so-ever...)

Shop till I drop

2008-10-09T12:32:00.000-07:00

[Me and Aliff in front of a coach, booked for our convenience!]

So from da flight... we took the coach... me, danial, jeck and aliff were placed near mercer court, and then ipin picked us up to our new apartment! da Swift Hall Apartments! Owh, did i mention the wheel on my 28.3kg bag broke probably due to being chucked around on board da plane? well... try imagining carrying that around.

So we took a cab... mind you, cabs around here are big, huge, and cool. they even have mercedes as cabs! how umbelievable! but anywayz... we stay in one of the rooms in the apartment until we were took out for shopping.

[stephen's green shopping mall]

and imagine how happy i was that we were finnally back on da ground, and better still... we#re going shopping! da shopping malls are great! and i wished i was rich, than i would have shopped even more... 'cos i was fun shopping.

[having fun in stephen's green!]

This was the first day of class... oh no, wait... it was registration day. After registration, we went for more shopping! how lucky i am to live in da city! ahaks! but however lucky it was, i sure do miss jay bee so much! things are cheaper over there! ahaks!

[I don't think I've ever shopped that much... but hey... there's a first for everything!']

and hey... have i mentioned how much fun shopping was? i did eh... well... i'll probably end the stuff about shopping there then...

[Preparing for the first day of lecture! hahaha]

And as the picture says... that was me, having fun in front of the mirror before heading for lectures the same day! hehehe.... with nothing to mould my hair (which i stupidly posted all of them without having at least some in my luggages). but hey... my hair was great anyday without wax nor conditioner! hahahaha... but i don't think i'd like getting caught doing the same thing in malaysia... =P

later dudes!

When the time came...

2008-10-08T14:23:00.000-07:00

[my family, except for yunus' dad on the very left]

How happy they looked... lolz... thinking about the moment i stepped onto the escalator leadeing me down was saddening... scary... unimaginable... the thought of parting with my family... especially my mum, dad, lil sis and lil bro (who behaved very2 strangely that very night)...

Love you all so much but thankfully i haven't had those homesickness i've heard about as of yet... there's always the phone... skype... hahaha... but how i wish i was back home... mish you guys so very dearly! well now... i don't deny the fact that i did look happy but boy oh boy, there was eruptions upon eruptions of emotions inside!

I remembered mama asking me;
'So, are you gonna cry?!?!?!' I hugged her and whispered... 'Nah, I'll do that later...' We both smiled... I knew she wanted to cry too but i respect her very much for holding it in, or else i would probably break down too!
(hahaha... now i feel homesick typing all this... eyes waterlogged! emotions... sigh...)

My grandma sobbed, how very cliche... but hey, i needed to keep my cool... I felt like an unemotional robot then... My lil bro still kept hitting me. How sad I felt. God was punishing me... But he owned up to my mum later on that he did not want to let me see him saddened upon my departure. How clever that lil kid is... but i felt so sad then... I wanted to hug him so tightly and cry! But yeah, I did feel like bursting when i steped off the escalator...

In my heart, how i wished everyone would just come down as soon as possible so we could get this over and done with... the drama is driving me nuts and i felt sorry for my own family having to wait there for quite some time just admiring the view from above of us not knowing what else to do whilst waiting for 37 drama episodes to come to an end. But eventually they did. After saying our last farewells for the day, we headed in. I still contacted mama throughout the course of time we were in klia before boarding.

[Gate of Destiny?!?!?! This is one of the terminal gates we were supposed to walk through]

Whilst waiting to board, everyone was on their phone. So what the heck did I do. I took out my phone and called mama! hahaha... But everyone was alright now... no waterlogged eyes already... sish... how they got over that so easily... I met saiful, who was flying off to poland. well... not much happened really...

[My in-flight mates! Shu-shu (leh) n Erni!]

Anyone haven't heard of the expression smooth sailing? well... there was not much smooth flying in our flight! Owh, I forgot to tell you... I accidentally sat in a row that wasn't mine... cynical... i know...

After getting back into my own seat; which was next to leh n shida, i settled down (took of my tie and untucked my shirt! which felt so refreshingly good!) but hey... why wasn't it smooth?!?!?!

Well, every single tyme they serve us food, the flight was one hell of a bumpy ride! my platter of food even floated into the air... which was totally cool and uncool at the same tyme because i had to hold onto it and hoped that it didn't spill. Erni's experience was way cool... but that's her story! hehehehe...

Then on to frankfurt... the prayer room there was way cool... it look majestic even if it was small... truthfully i think it's better than the one in klia (which is in an islamic country mind you...) but the space difference was obvious so klia wins that round!

[muslim's prayer room in at frankfurt airport]

Then we kindda browsed around in the airport waiting for our turn to board aer lingus. The trip was a 2 hour trip, which i slept quite a lot off it... nothing too interesting there... but hey... just wanted to mention aer lingus there! ahaks!

[aer lingus]

Then aloha Dublin! we were greeted by the mara officer and also seniors! took a coach and went to our seperate accomodations!

Later dudes and dudettes!

20th Burfday

2008-10-08T13:42:00.000-07:00

OMG!!! OMG!!! OMG!!!

Hahaha... it seems as though it was yesterday i was 16... But time does fly so quickly... I'm 20 already! GOSH! And how else would a guy celebrate his 20th burfday than to have it with a ready-mage boxed cake in a kebab diner! yups! ahaks.

It was sunday... I was out and about shopping in dunnes when i saw a cake that was suitable for vegetarians! what luck that was! while picking it up and admiring how scrumptious it looked, i remembered that tuesday was my burfday! (and how ironic that peeps abroad remembered it earlier than these peeps over here!)

[n affordable scrumptious and yummy looking choco cake!

Emphasize on the word 'affordable' mates!]

So come tuesday, I planned to have my lil' burfday bash at stephen's green... but luck has it that it rained most of the day, so i opt for kebab klub instead since i didn't like the idea of cutting the cake in a soggy place! yucks indeed!

and so... having dissected a cadaver in the morning and lectures in the afternoon, i took off to dunnes after asar with jeck and azmi going ahead to kebab klub for their sinfully delicious garlic and cheese fries...

I invited naim, gembo, and ab hafidz along as well but was totally suprised that my housemate was also there. I didn't invite him because i was thinking of buying somthing to take home for all four of us but since he came, that idea kindda vanished (and think of how much euros i saved! ahaks! stingy old hag!).

Well, we went upstairs with the cake. Then Azmi and Jeck came with the fries along with a chocolate and a colourful rose! I joked around and asked azmi for the rose last week, thank god he took it seriously! hahaha... Now i have a rainbow coloured rose in my room! yay!

['how did you get them like that?'... it's a question the florist usually get!

and her answer... 'we just get them shipped like that from holland!']

They then sang a burfday song... imbarassed me in the process but hey... it was worth it! having your burfday coming up so soon after flying off into a whole new foreign country can be tough... ('lil planning can be done in such a short tyme you know...).

Then aliff and lina came along. so yap, my burfday was kindda fun in da end! Everyone liked the fries, the cake was a lil too sweet and awfully dry! how i miss those #secret recipe' cakes back home...

[everyone there in the pic except for gembo n hafiz!]

waaa... abah, mama, kakak n adik, mish you guys so much n thanx for da wish... it was a few hours early but it made my day! ahaks!

More posts about ireland?!?!?! later dudes... don't have the time yet!

Testing, testing... just eager to start bloggin even if I might be one hell of a late bloomer in the blogging depatment. LoL. So here's a first post to start off everything, which would contain mostly... nothing really.

So here I am, just a week away from flying away from the cozy and safe nest I've been living for quite some time (minus the time spent in KMB and all...) and well, excited as i may, i'm actually a nervous wreck and scared out of my wits! hahaha...

I think that'll probably be all for a first post which i intended to be short but which was long winded anyway as things start to pour out... ahaks! chow babe and see ya on da next post (which i hope will probably be better! :))

later days!
