tangled up in a web....
finally... internet's up and kicking. cant stop surfing. our new house is almost complete... with one exception... we dont have a stove. yepsss... memang dah cukup bachelor pad abis, but the absence of a stove makes us starving bachelors most of the time.
nevertheless... i get away with making myself my own tossed salad. yes... i'm not attempting to be jamie oliver or something, the best thing im at in the attempt of being the naked chef is probably be naked. and that's only in my own room and toilet. cant imagine doing deep fried fish naked. can you imagine all that sparks on to yourself?? made you imagine didnt i? hahaha. you make me sick.
alrites... i'm all geared up for writing....
you're a lonely muslim brother/sister? i've got just the thing....
So i woke up this morning... logged on to yahoo messenger... and you know when the mini yahoo updates of the week come popping out once you're logged on write?
so today was something that caught my eye on that mini-ad... besides the story about Anwar, and Britney Spears side by side (makes me wonder why). a Muslim Matrimonial website.
still not having a clue what is it about? are you're too religious to go out to pick up girls? or too shy to pick up girls? or just keep ending up with the wrong girls? or still searching endlessly and hopelessly? Well look no further my friend... log on to Muslim Matrimonial website, "marriages are forever". yes... THAT's the tagline. if you have some special preference... may i entice you with the choice of either Sunni or Shia or Other types of Muslim practices? yes brother and sisters of Islam, rejoice, pray and date online. hopefully your prayers and your efforts will take you to the ONE soon.
oh dear god... i was looking through... i know im not supposed to laugh... but check it out...
We are seeking suitable alliance for our daughter. She is slim beautiful and very fair.She is humble and caring.She is pursuing Ph D in Bio-Technology. We have three children, two daughters and one son. She is eldest one, second daughter is also pursuing Ph D in Economics and getting fellowship.My son is pursuing B Tech from AMU.We belong to a very reputed Syed family.
PARENTS!! PARENTS are matchmaking their child online!!!! AMAZING!! it's amazing that there's parents looking for a match for their child, what's more amazing is them advertising them online. yes... the power of internet. i should probably put an ad for my friends
We are seeking suitable alliance for our very good friend. He has a pair of a bit saggy man boobs, but nevertheless he is very stylish with his collection of Tshirts and a very pimped up White four wheel drive. He graduated with bachelors in Computer Engineering (I think), and currently is a very popular radio announcer in Malaysia. been mentioned charming by so many ladies of different ages (and disturbingly enough by some doubtful men). Our friend is humble, caring and a gentleman. He belongs to the very reputed McGiffs clan.
We are seeking the perfect match for our very good friend. He is a bit dark, and short, yet very funny, and sometimes may have an adorable laugh (most of the time a bit scary and to an extent annoying). he is a very gifted person with his hands and makes art sneakers for his past times. he'll undoubtedly make one for you if you decide to marry him. besides that, he has a collection of shoes that i bet your daughter's collection can never surpass his. adding on to that, your daughter will never surpass his tshirt collections. if your daughter isnt able to accept that, maybe you can refer to our previous friend the radio announcer. also, he graduated with a bachelors in Computer Engineering.
We are seeking the perfect match for our very good friend. She is funny, has a bit high pitched voice when she's excited. She is very pretty, witty, and masya Allah brothers, looks very hot in a two piece bikini. but of course you cant see until you marry her or we will bury you neck deep and stone you to death. She is the epitome of a dork and nerd as she graduated in Electrical Engineering AND Minored in Math. she has a very eclectic mix of music that completely blows you off and frankly, she'll dance with you throughout the nite with her songs collection (again brothers, after you're married).
Ferr... Faidz... consider yourselves lucky. hehehe.
skin of an elephant....
i was flipping through a mag and bumped into 'the best insect repellent'. when i read this, i realized one thing... the more modern we get, the pussier people get. yes, i wont deny, being bitten by mosquitoes sucks, and the fact that they keep buzzing around close to your ear doesnt really help. but people, putting insect repellent on will either:-
1. drive them away
2. drive them away and attract weird animals (snakes, tigers, monkeys)
3. attract them more, like a different breed of mosquitoes.
4. give you skin cancer. for real. or some other type of cancer. i bet it says on the bottle, KEEP AWAY FROM CHILDREN.
one of the best ways to stop the mosquitoes is actually not waving your hands around too much because they are attracted to heat. hence, slapping their friends on your skin only attracts the other coz slapping them generate heat. so people... toughen up. of course, if you're going camping for days, make sure you recognize what malaria/dengue/west nile looks like. hehe.
Now why would you wanna do that for? criminals get confused when you do that....
if you have no watched Dark Knight... get your ass up... and watch it. it's just so damn good. too bad Heath died... the Joker Franchise could probably catapult outside this universe.
nevertheless... one late night, Abe and I were standing at 24hour KFC one late nite and it came upon us... Batman is just like one of us right? see, a lot of people think they know about Batman, like he's Bruce Wayne's alter ego, Joker's his exact opposite and arch nemesis and all. but seriously... how well do we know Batman??
Things we probably dont know about Batman.
1. he probably drives through a fastfood drive through during nights when he is terribly hungry.
2. he probably eats fries while sitting on the edge of a building listening to police radios
3. alfred probably packs him healthy food to keep batman fit which makes batman whine 'aaawww alfred, now why'd u have to do that? i want my red meat! you're my slave bitch!'
4. he probably gets a huge sore throat after doing that weird husky voice and had to pop in lozenges like strepsils endlessly.
5. he definitely needs to pee. i dont think he can easily take off his batsuit. either there's like a diaper in the batsuit or a latch for him to relieve himself
6. he cant stay up late all the time. he probably passes out in one of his night watches and sleep in his batmobile while some innocent grandma robs a liquor store with a shotgun and saying 'Why SO serious??'
there you go... it's a good update.... hehehe. catcha guys next week....
btw guys... enjoy my collection of clips....
This one, storyline isnt that much, but i personally like the camera shots. rasa macam jamie oliver pulak. its basically on behavioral safety
had to promote the green earth. my colleagues loved this one....
Oblivia's first project... viral video for astro. yes, i personally think we need some improvement, but it's a good start....
i know it's very amateurish but it's a pretty good start....

No net, no update……
So, yeps… I know it’s been so long since I last updated, might be a bit more than a month. Honestly, not that I don’t want to, it’s just that, I do NOT have internet. Seriously, in this new house, it used to be worse, I didn’t even have ASTRO! Like, seriously. But now we do have astro, so it ain’t that bad as much.
Well currently im updating while breathing through my own snot, woke up feeling sick and every time I swallow, I feel like I’m swallowing a rock. But nevertheless, had a great time to sit down alone at home, watch dvd, tv and just relax.
Not that I have not had some interesting thoughts going through my head throughout my ‘no update session’, and a lot had happened since then.
1. Gas increase (I just knew it!!!)
2. My 26th birthday (of which, ATI is the LAST of my closest friends to wish me :P!)
3. Don’t watch ‘The Happening’
4. Malaysian Artists are GETTING BETTER
Gas increase....
Yeps… I think I wrote once when the price of oil per barrel increased for an all time high of USD$100pb, and I mentioned that im not gonna be totally surprised that the government is gonna increase the petrol price throughout the nation again.
This is a heavily sensitive issue in this country and the fact that a majority of people out there aren’t so well informed of the issue, and start blaming other innocent parties for example the Oil & Gas company. They think it’s the local company who raised the fuel subsidy, and the local company are going to get a much high profit from this.
My dear readers, please realize, that is NOT true. Even though if they get a higher profit from this, I bet you big time the employees down there, who work so hard to bleed the earth for her sources & energy, I assure you, that these people do NOT, I repeat, do NOT get a raise. In fact, most of them stay middle class status and if you know the facts, the people who are struggling the most from the fuel hike is actually the middle class rakyat.
Now try to see things in the bigger picture, for example, let’s say the road tax and tax on cars. Now, imported cars are taxed almost 200%, heck, maybe even more. Now, where does ALL the rakyat’s money taxes go? Hmmm I wonder. Maybe, since they reduced to fuel subsidy, what I think is best next, my is REMOVE the tax on cars, or maybe reduce it to a reasonable price. At least with that extra cash, people could actually:
1. Buy fuel efficient vehicle (like the hybrid)
2. Actually complain LESS about the fuel hike
Btw… where in the world does that tax money GO??? Hmmm I wonder.
I’m 26....
Yeps… I’ve turned 26. For those who wished me thank you so much. Not a big fan of birthdays usually. I prefer having just a nice quiet dinner or just chilling out alone listening to my favorite music and eat my favorite cheesecake.
Well… whatever it is, i’m cool with being in this age. I’m just praying for the best for the years to come for me. Btw… my best bday present this year....
Bob marley’s CD LEGEND. It’s a damn awesome album, I’m not kidding you. When you listen to the songs all you feel is like just chilling out beside the beach having an iced tea and reading a book under huts made of coconut tree branches during sunset while you have seashells selling and people dropping by buying them to listen to the ocean waving in the shells. If that’s not elaborate of how I think this CD is awesome, then you really have to go buy it and listen to it.
Thank you so much for the CD sayang.
Latest movies....
Seriously guys, do NOT watch ‘The Happening’. I honestly don’t know what was M Night Shyamalan thinking when he made this movie. I much preferred Lady in the Water even though that movie still sucked.
I don’t care if I spoil it for you guys, mainly because I wanna save you that 10 ringgit and go watch something else, maybe even the HULK the second time. About the movie… NOTHING HAPPENS. I repeat that… NOTHING. Hollywood should consider changing the movie title to ‘The NOT Happening’.
Malaysian Artists are getting MUCH better....
I remember when I was a kid, I am honestly not a big fan of Malaysian songs. Kept thinking it was boring and lame AND it was the same for like almost 15 years!!!!!
But a lot of changed since then. Now you have Malaysians coming up with soulful songs, catchy, deep, and most of all, different and NOT sengau based. You have bands like Hujan, Meet Uncle Hussain, Hunny Madu & the Basics, Yuna, Love me Butch, Seven Collared Tshirt etc. and these are mostly out there, the indie ones that people don’t often talk about are probably much more. So yeah, come on guys, let’s support our local talent. But of course, I’ll support them if they SHOW talent and not start create the same ol genre again.
Well that’s it… im tired… sick, flem, and full of snot and contemplating so much whether I should go to class or not. Hmmm. Thinkin thinking thinking. Oh well… laters guys!
Btw, pictures below mostly are the ones when we went to Sabah's the tip of borneo. if you still dont have a perfect clue, basically Sabah looks like a puppy, facing to the right on the world map. and where we are in this picture, is basically at the tip of the ear of the puppy. hope that helps.
see? the tip of borneo!!get it people??!!
danger can kiss my ass....
spread the love, spread the peace, and no to danger....
sunset at tip of borneo... and yes, do only go there during sunset... during sunrise... it's a bit lame. i thought you could actually enjoy both.... darn it. oh and also make sure you stay in kudat for 1 night. the drive from kk - kudat alone takes 3 hours. from kudat to the tip of borneo aka simpang mengayau takes 1 hour. and you seriously need to go down to the beaches, AND watch the sunset til it's dark. dont swim, but do bring some snacks:)....
i am... herculeeeeess!!
wonder if she's confused... of if it's sunset or sunrise....
it's a long winding road... for a lone wolf... chewah....
the drive is surrounded by coconut tree plantation... kinda amazing coz i've never seen coconut tree plantation. it looks beautiful really....
He sells seashells by the seashore... seriously, im gonna employ this guy when i buy a land there, and make him look for shells for me to sell and for myself.
Tanjung Aru Beach... the sunglight covers out the rubbish... hahaha.
a nerd and her kacang in Tanjung Aru Beach....

When Mosquitos attack!!!!
Alrites... last nite, i was just really really really sleepy when i was typing about the mosquito. was thinking of editing it, but meeeaaaah. just gonna type a new one instead.
Well basically there's some people who genetically engineered a breed of male mosquitoes to kill all the Aedes mosquitoes in Pulau Ketam. Yes, these mosquitoes are engineered genetically, to have some sort of ability to kill other mosquitoes by mating with them, and contract some type of virus that'll kill the other mosquitoes.
They say they've tested it in labs and said it is very safe. okay, sure, rite. safe indeed. what they dont really know is that they've never actually tested it in an actual real life condition. they still havent figured out what would the decrease of the mosquitoes in Pulau Ketam would do to the ecosystem.
I got a feeling, the mosquitoes are there on Pulau Ketam for a reason. well one way of decreasing the problem significantly naturally is just CLEAN that island UP you ignorant ignorant mosquito person. seriously, at least clean that place within your area. that way, the mosquitoes wont even breed around you and hence decreasing the number of highly dangerous mosquitoes. CLEAN ur own PLACE!!!! (sheeeeesh)
Also, how would they know that these bugs dont react with something else in the household and immediately create a new strain of virus that probably could change humans into extra aggresive irrational and hairless creatures, which can then affect other humans, and immediately causing an international outbreak which then balances out the number of earth's neverending significantly exponentially growing population.
yepppss.... dangerous animals these soldier mosquitoes can be indeed. you're going against nature. anyone who think they can do part in not letting this happen, please do inform me and any of the readers here. support the green natural earth. spread the loooove.
Hippie Monkey....
So i got this entry below from a forwarded email. thought it was just nicely funny. not DAMN funny. but pretty cool enough. hahaha. good ol days.
A monkey is sitting in a tree smoking a joint when a lizard walks past and looks up and says to the monkey. "Hey! what are you doing?"
The monkey says "smoking a joint, come up and have some."
So the lizard climbs up and sits next to the monkey and they have a few tokes together.
After a while the lizard says his mouth is 'dry' and that he's going to get a drink from the river.
The lizard climbs down the tree, dittybops on thru the jungle to the river and leans over the river to get his drink.
Well, the lizard is so stoned that he leans too far over and falls into the river.
A Crocodile sees this and swims over to the lizard and helps him to the side, then asks the lizard, "what's the matter with you?"
The lizard explains to the crocodile that he was sitting in a tree and smoking a joint with the monkey and got too stoned and then fell into the river while taking a drink.
The crocodile says he's gotta check this hippie monkey out and walks off into the jungle where he finds the tree where the monkey is still sitting and toking on the joint.
He looks up and says "hey you!"
The Monkey looks down and says, "ff****ccckkkk dude.............how much water did you drink?!!"

Ratu Hatiku....
Well... got nothing much to say for my mom... but... i LOVE you, thank you so much for every single thing that you've done for me, your support and making me the man i am today =). Love you loads.
Bite me... NOT.....
Sometime end of April this year, a good friend of mine forwarded an actual article on Genetically Engineeered Mosquitos. Basically the scientists created an anomaly within the MALE mosquitos of which feasts on fruits as main source of food. So now, they could not only fly, they also mate with the female of which will then kill their young and also the gas a result of the vires the male will carry.
They're thinking of releasing these engineered mosquitoes in Pulau Ketam. Now, how scary would it be if the mosquitos became like super mosquitos? Fly faster, biter harder all that jazz. the nyamuk would also be carrying a virus, a Zombie virus and start affecting everyone in Pulau Ketam. Would you want an island full of hungry zombies? that'll be a scary messed up situation to be in. and then the virus will start to expand all over in the world. all started from the quiet dark alleyway in malaysia. yepsss... zombies....
apa laa aku ngarut nih.... so sleepy rite now....

Mercy mercy mercy....
Hey guys... labor day holiday just ended, im flushed, tired, but every moment spent in KK was a bliss. tired... but a bliss.
no matter what, i'm a sucker for nature. i just love sitting down by the ocean closing my eyes feeling the wind brushing by me, and the waves coming up to say their hello, and birds flying and sometimes just glide on a static position... probably feeling the same way im feeling. i love sitting on the balcony where my room faced the green mountains while the clouds just hangs around the top covering all the creatures from the drops of scorching heat. when the sunsets... the mountain would just glow and it gives you this chill behind your neck, and uttering the words of
'Subhanallah' silently while the mists creeps slowly towards and around you to calm you down from all the pretentiousness and ridiculousness of the world.
yes... i'm a sucker for nature.....
Understanding is not just Reading....
okay, i decided to write this one short and simple. i read this book given to me by Dayana's dad, and i think it's kinda inspiring and triggers something in your head.
basically the whole gist of it is about the Book of Islam... the Al-Quran. i think we've all mostly been thought since kids, even our parents to just READ the Quran. most of them didnt state the meaning of every word within the Quran.
i also found out from some of my time visiting the house of God, every single word, every single hum, has a reason into it, has every meaning. The whole summary of this part of my writing is just serving to you as a reminder. start with the simple Surahs first, and understand them. dwell in the meaning, the beauty of the whole ayat constructed and feel it going into you. understanding how it applies in your daily life and making yourself into a better person everyday you wake up. Understanding... is not just Reading... do your part.
Famine... are you sure???
Early last week or was it the week before, the whole world has been told by the media that food prices are hiking intensely and it will affect and contribute to more famine, depression, uprising, civil war and most of all poverty throughout the nation.
Immediately the first headlines read something like 'World bank declared....' 'World bank announces....' bla bla yadda yadda. and i think i saw the news where President George W Bush declares that they are requesting for more funding to tackle this problem and World Bank to offer more support to all struggling countries.
Now... my question... how deep can this really go? Yes, i must admit that due to the hike of the energy prices throughout the world, it is slowly creating a whole domino effect on every other prices of your routine items (bread, rice, flour). the fertilizer business is growing exponentially these days to USD400++ per tonne this year as compared to last year and the year before where it's only USD300++ and USD200++ respectively.
But in my view... all what's happening currently should only make a very slow increase of the food prices worldwide, not immediate. However due to the media that's mostly owned by the 'Great Power' it just completely escalates the t = time factor due to human psychological effects. the media injects everyone in the world this FEAR of what would happen and tell them... 'Hey... dont worry, we have the resources, we're here to lend you the help you need'. Keyword people... LEND. if most of you dont know, World Bank, IMF, belongs to the 'Great Power'. this desperation would cause the affected countries to go to these international fund and cause them to be in a very huge debt.
What affect does it do? Okay, it's like this, you meet an Ah Long (malaysian Loan Shark), he says our interests are low from the bank, all that blas and yaddas, simultaneously you're desperate. you borrow... you're HIS. you cant ever payback, and all they need is your help... in a very dirty way. ask you to stab your own friends in the back, ask you to support them no matter what they do, no matter how deceitful and heartless their project is (obviously covered with a batch of flowers around), so on, so forth. you BELONG to them.
guys... i think it may actually be, the modern way of colonization. probably, we may have not even noticed... that they're already actually here. hmmm. whatever it is, as a citizen, do your part. Lead, not mislead. Develop with considerations and alternatives... not destroy everything. I cant imagine what's in store for us 10 - 15 years from now in this country. let's just pray for the best.
Community indeed....
well... currently i play basketball every Tuesday and Sunday here, and for the first time ever, i sit down and play with a whole group of chinese of whom i have no idea who they are. Some might be CEOs, some might be an Ah Long, some might be just a normal guy who sips their coffee on a Sunday morning reading the news with the family.
Here's the thing, i find it awesome playing with them. I may not understand most of the time what theyre saying to each other, but playing with them, somehow it opens up your eyes how they work hard to help out each other, doing things together as a team... and not pulling a Kobe almost every single second. and these people are a group of strangers. It's just different from how i used to play it in highschool and Uniten. but all in all... it's amazing.
which triggers another thought it my head. my chinese friend, who's leaving the company this month to work in Singapore (congratulations to him for pursuing something that he feels best for him) told me that, when he was studying in the US, playing Basketball was a gathering of group of unknowns. you sitdown by the court, say your Hi's shake the hands around you, and ask if you could join in, of which, almost always, they say 'Sure man, we're short anyway'. it triggers your ability, playing with unknowns, some are really good, some so-so, some are just feeling the leather ball on their skin to see if they're made for this game or not. not only does the game make you a better player... but also a better person, increases your PR, network... and most of all, your sense of community.
when you play this game, you dont need to make appointments with your friends (who either dont come or are fashionably late, of which annoys you). you go, you play. Sadly, i've never played much with the locals in the US. mostly inferiority complex. they're tall, they strong, they're huge. but i should've just gone and build that confidence and build that skill.
now... how does it work with the people in this country? do you sit down by a field, and wait for an existing game going on let's say, Football, and you ask them, 'hey, can i join in?'. you'll get replies either:-
1. shrugging... 'oklah, oi guys, this guy nak main. masuk team saper nih?'
2. 'sorry la brader, dah penuh'.
3. or a classic BS, 'we're practicing rite now, all member2 nih'.
why is there that mentality? i wont lie, i had the same thoughts too. worry of them clicking, worry that they dont understand our level of playing, worry that they're just way too serious. i saw this in futsal, i saw this in paintball. some people are just really good, they wanna join in, but everyone just dont think it's cool. how does that develop your level of playing, your thinking, you ability? how? why is there no sense of community? why? what can we do to change all this perception, this barrier?
yeah... maybe i'm thinking too much... but... i know im making all the sense in this world dont i? think about it again.
Labor day pics....
well here are some pics just for a quick update...
my dad, myself, and Azman (my Sis's BF)
family trip up on the mountains... Nadia is still sleeping....

two faces who has not showered and feeling really cold and smelly....
i think i might be constipating....

Azman commented on this picture... said it's not bad at all... i created an anticipation for the viewer. he's a tutor as a grad student for MMU in Film & Animation btw... so it was quite an honor....
these are special kinda fish. crazy tame. you put your hands in the water with the food, and they'll suck on your hands (they have no teeth) and create a bekam-ish around your hands. verrry cool. basically for therapy la.
Spread the loooove... peace out....
at Sabah Tea... a very beautiful place... serene, overlooking the mountains and calming....
okay okay... i was just trying to be in the mind of a Colombian Drug Lord. wont that be amazing if all the tea are actual poppy and weed grown illegaly, and we're silently surrounded by people with AK47s and sniper rifle waiting for you to make the wrong move? i looove Tea. Green stuff is always good.
okay... my attempt on photography... seriously thinking of an SLR....
alrites... just noticed it's a damn serious topic im going through. hmmm oh well. once in a while, it doesnt hurt to think that way.
Hey guys... labor day holiday just ended, im flushed, tired, but every moment spent in KK was a bliss. tired... but a bliss.
no matter what, i'm a sucker for nature. i just love sitting down by the ocean closing my eyes feeling the wind brushing by me, and the waves coming up to say their hello, and birds flying and sometimes just glide on a static position... probably feeling the same way im feeling. i love sitting on the balcony where my room faced the green mountains while the clouds just hangs around the top covering all the creatures from the drops of scorching heat. when the sunsets... the mountain would just glow and it gives you this chill behind your neck, and uttering the words of
'Subhanallah' silently while the mists creeps slowly towards and around you to calm you down from all the pretentiousness and ridiculousness of the world.
yes... i'm a sucker for nature.....
Understanding is not just Reading....
okay, i decided to write this one short and simple. i read this book given to me by Dayana's dad, and i think it's kinda inspiring and triggers something in your head.
basically the whole gist of it is about the Book of Islam... the Al-Quran. i think we've all mostly been thought since kids, even our parents to just READ the Quran. most of them didnt state the meaning of every word within the Quran.
i also found out from some of my time visiting the house of God, every single word, every single hum, has a reason into it, has every meaning. The whole summary of this part of my writing is just serving to you as a reminder. start with the simple Surahs first, and understand them. dwell in the meaning, the beauty of the whole ayat constructed and feel it going into you. understanding how it applies in your daily life and making yourself into a better person everyday you wake up. Understanding... is not just Reading... do your part.
Famine... are you sure???
Early last week or was it the week before, the whole world has been told by the media that food prices are hiking intensely and it will affect and contribute to more famine, depression, uprising, civil war and most of all poverty throughout the nation.
Immediately the first headlines read something like 'World bank declared....' 'World bank announces....' bla bla yadda yadda. and i think i saw the news where President George W Bush declares that they are requesting for more funding to tackle this problem and World Bank to offer more support to all struggling countries.
Now... my question... how deep can this really go? Yes, i must admit that due to the hike of the energy prices throughout the world, it is slowly creating a whole domino effect on every other prices of your routine items (bread, rice, flour). the fertilizer business is growing exponentially these days to USD400++ per tonne this year as compared to last year and the year before where it's only USD300++ and USD200++ respectively.
But in my view... all what's happening currently should only make a very slow increase of the food prices worldwide, not immediate. However due to the media that's mostly owned by the 'Great Power' it just completely escalates the t = time factor due to human psychological effects. the media injects everyone in the world this FEAR of what would happen and tell them... 'Hey... dont worry, we have the resources, we're here to lend you the help you need'. Keyword people... LEND. if most of you dont know, World Bank, IMF, belongs to the 'Great Power'. this desperation would cause the affected countries to go to these international fund and cause them to be in a very huge debt.
What affect does it do? Okay, it's like this, you meet an Ah Long (malaysian Loan Shark), he says our interests are low from the bank, all that blas and yaddas, simultaneously you're desperate. you borrow... you're HIS. you cant ever payback, and all they need is your help... in a very dirty way. ask you to stab your own friends in the back, ask you to support them no matter what they do, no matter how deceitful and heartless their project is (obviously covered with a batch of flowers around), so on, so forth. you BELONG to them.
guys... i think it may actually be, the modern way of colonization. probably, we may have not even noticed... that they're already actually here. hmmm. whatever it is, as a citizen, do your part. Lead, not mislead. Develop with considerations and alternatives... not destroy everything. I cant imagine what's in store for us 10 - 15 years from now in this country. let's just pray for the best.
Community indeed....
well... currently i play basketball every Tuesday and Sunday here, and for the first time ever, i sit down and play with a whole group of chinese of whom i have no idea who they are. Some might be CEOs, some might be an Ah Long, some might be just a normal guy who sips their coffee on a Sunday morning reading the news with the family.
Here's the thing, i find it awesome playing with them. I may not understand most of the time what theyre saying to each other, but playing with them, somehow it opens up your eyes how they work hard to help out each other, doing things together as a team... and not pulling a Kobe almost every single second. and these people are a group of strangers. It's just different from how i used to play it in highschool and Uniten. but all in all... it's amazing.
which triggers another thought it my head. my chinese friend, who's leaving the company this month to work in Singapore (congratulations to him for pursuing something that he feels best for him) told me that, when he was studying in the US, playing Basketball was a gathering of group of unknowns. you sitdown by the court, say your Hi's shake the hands around you, and ask if you could join in, of which, almost always, they say 'Sure man, we're short anyway'. it triggers your ability, playing with unknowns, some are really good, some so-so, some are just feeling the leather ball on their skin to see if they're made for this game or not. not only does the game make you a better player... but also a better person, increases your PR, network... and most of all, your sense of community.
when you play this game, you dont need to make appointments with your friends (who either dont come or are fashionably late, of which annoys you). you go, you play. Sadly, i've never played much with the locals in the US. mostly inferiority complex. they're tall, they strong, they're huge. but i should've just gone and build that confidence and build that skill.

1. shrugging... 'oklah, oi guys, this guy nak main. masuk team saper nih?'
2. 'sorry la brader, dah penuh'.
3. or a classic BS, 'we're practicing rite now, all member2 nih'.
why is there that mentality? i wont lie, i had the same thoughts too. worry of them clicking, worry that they dont understand our level of playing, worry that they're just way too serious. i saw this in futsal, i saw this in paintball. some people are just really good, they wanna join in, but everyone just dont think it's cool. how does that develop your level of playing, your thinking, you ability? how? why is there no sense of community? why? what can we do to change all this perception, this barrier?
yeah... maybe i'm thinking too much... but... i know im making all the sense in this world dont i? think about it again.
