Married this Saturday.....
Well people, I'm now in KL, preparing for my coming wedding this Saturday.
What do I think about getting married?
Well, I look forward to get married. It's high time i settle down, be more responsible, and again, i do this in His name.
But what do i think about the process OF getting married?
TIRING. TAAAAI EEEEEE RRRRIIIIIINNNGGGG.
At one point, you just tell yourself... come oooon let's just get married already!!!
What advice do i have for you guys? here you go.
1. Never think money is THE biggest problem in the process of getting married. a wise man once told me that those who say that, they definitely have never gotten married. biggest problem would comme from the families. muehehe.
2. Patience... a whole shit load of it. at one point you would just want to run to a corner and brush your teeth, cook an egg, watch tv, eat cookies, and then cry yourself to sleep. but trust me, you need it.
3. start saving. unless you're a trust fund baby, then you can ignore this rule. simultaneously, there will always be last minute need of extra cash, both marriage related and non. example, car insurance, tax, last minute addition of wedding attire, house loan, etc.
4. Pray and pray. pray a lot, understand your responsibility as a husband and father, son, son in law. sometimes it may be overwhelming, but trust me, with a lot of thought, prayers, you'll see things clearer, you'll be more confident. cheesy as this may sound, its as true as it is.
5. your family and close friends matter. no matter how the situation goes, your family and your friends will always be there for you to make things better and take you through the thick and thin.
6. lastly, savor every moment of it. it'll be the experience of your life, and definitely an experience you'll be sharing with the people around you, your kids, friends, random people eating a roti canai stumped with you suddenly approaching them randomly, hoping to inspire them and maybe even scare them shitless and having fun doing it too. but really, do savor the best.
but well, let's just face it, without all the intensity, the pressure, the always changing guest list, the unconfirmed photographers, the confusing wedding programs, the sudden ADDING to more programs... you wont be able to look back and tell yourself 'I went through a LOT of shit to get married... but for all i know, it's damn worth it'.
i've been through dinners, presents, hugs, speeches both received and given. some are sad knowing that i'll leave my bachelor life, some are inspiring, some are borderline annoying, some are just... annoying. eheh. but all in good times. of course i have all the pictures but i'll post it later soon.
lastly, i love my wife, so much, and Dayana, thank you... for loving me and accepting me the way i am. i will try my best to improve myself to be a better muslim, husband, father for our family everyday.
thank you.

Moments of Stupidity....
I guess... once in a while, normal human would go through moments of stupidity. no matter how cool a person think they are, smooth, diva shaits... you cant deny it. we're only human and eventually, a hot girl could still pass some gas in an elevator and not get away with it.
the past few weeks i've seen some moments of stupidity... of which, i was sadly involved in some.
Case #1
I was cutting up fresh fish for our BBQ. A LOT of fish. got really tired at one point, plus havent done it for a while so it took me a bit of time to figure out how to gut them. then i saw something in the fish. i wasnt sure if it was the eggs or not. i love fish eggs. called up to my housemate.
for comprehensible reason for my readers... the language used was bruneian, and not translated to TV malay.
Me: Dude... ini telur or paru2?
Housemate: hmmm... i think its telur man...
2 hours after that moment...
Housemate: Dude... what'd u ask me earlier on the fish?
Me: ini telur or paru2?
Housemate: dude... ikan tak ada paru2.
Moment of Stupidity... Dong Dong (sound of a church bell like law and order)
Case #2
We were preparing BBQ fire the next night. yes... we decided to have bbq two nites in a row. one of my housemates called up our friend to come by and join us.
Housemate: Jom cepat la... ramai orang kat sini. Makanan tinggal nak masak jek, kitorang dah bakar api.
for those who hasnt notice... read the sentence again... at the last two words. you dont burn fire....
Moment of Stupidity... dong dong
Case #3
I was at another BBQ (yes... we have a LOT of BBQ to fill our time here in this place. was having dinner, my friend was sweating across the table and her friend helped her out by drying her sweat with the given tissues.
we were chatting all along laughing and all... then i knew my mouth was a bit oily. grabbed my tissue to clean up. about a fraction of seconds after that incident, i realized that i did not get a tissue earlier from that same table
Moment of stupidity... dong dong
Case #4
my friend was talking to his friend on the phone to check on the bbq we were gonna do. but at the same time, there was some rain that could actually compromise our bbq. his question was 'weh, jadi ke tak hujan ni?'. my friend answered 'well... i'll check with God if he has other plans'.
Moment of stupidity... dong dong
TV and Reality....
People often get mixed between Reality and TV life. some people think the Jason from the Friday the 13th, or Mike Myers from Halloween, or Leatherface from Texas Chainsaw are horror movie that would come to life. some people believe that you can really fly by just using your thought if you focus really well. most cases, they end up either in the hospital mending their broken bones, or in another hospital mending their short circuit up there.
sad thing is, the Malaysian culture overall, succumbs to TV terribly (and yes I'm one of them but trying my best to control myself). Honestly, I try my best to not watch MTV anymore. i remember as a kid i used to want to find out, who's the artist of the month, or how does Eminem's new music video look like. but somehow,
as i grew throughout the years, i realized most of that are just another attempt to create a world where people are branded like cattles whether you're pretty or ugly or just plain both. whether you're an awesome player with great game getting chicks numbers like 'Key to the VIP', and you have talk shows coming from celebrities telling their viewers like 'Marriage is a big mistake, look at us, we're mid 30s and still having our way of life with women and booze. all you have is a wife getting fatter and 3 kids'.
one thing that differentiates us and them is our unique culture, and religion. these two are the two main things that will probably be the last reminder for us and our children of tomorrow to always look back at your morals, and your way of life instead of the westerners.
remind ourselves and especially kids under 23, the ones who are usually at the peak of their teen life to live life, but still accordingly. you dont just go run into a Bank and scream to the top of your lungs 'I am LIVING IT!!' with a devil hand sign up front.
I myself slip up too sometime, but yes i will try to be the best.
I slip up too... but i try my best to be a better person. Do remind the others :).
Reality TV....
Speaking of reality, well American Idol is coming to the end. Akademi Fantasia has already ended. those who know me, knows i dont bother to follow the update of AF. i'm not being anti malaysian and all, but the voting system and culture has always been askew. it's more of a popularity vote rather than real talent, and performance on the actual day.
American Idol makes you vote after the show ended to ensure you see the whole show, and vote wisely and you have a space of 2 hours to vote.
Akademi Fantasia makes you vote continuously on a certain day based on percentage that you see on the screen and immediately after the last show of the week, the voting is closed. now, where's the fairness in that? I can talk on and on about the voting mentality and culture but let's just let it be.
let's talk about American Idol. Kris, Danny and Lambert. great artists and they really put up a good fight. I'm usually more interested to see in what Kris does as almost always, he'll do a song he chose and make it sound like it's his. that's what's amazing bout him. Adam is definitely good, but most of the song he sings is quite close to the original.
but... all in all... this season had a lot of supergood contestants. for those who dont know, go to youtube, and search for 'Clef Hangers'. It's Anoops old acapella group from his alma mater. check out I'll Make Love to you. pretty awesome.
Extreme Chess!!!
Well I just got back from Miri for a Sports event that was organized but the corporation i work for. didnt play anything but nevertheless, i made a point to come and support anyway. there was netball, football, hockey, then... there was chess.
I was trying to figure out how to cheer for the chess team but then found out that no noise is allowed in the room where the competition is held. the competition is superbly intense. fun to watch but intense. i wanted to cheer so badly and also though how would the cheer look like if noise was really allowed in the room.
Commentator A: Player A has done the move of putting his fingers and tapping it on his lips! what a good psyche towards the opponent.
Commentator B: Wait a minute Commentator A, Player B is suddenly intensifying his fidgeting movement. We maaaay have got something good in play pretty soon.
Commentator A: Player A has started his move. Oh! Graceful check done by the black knight assisted by the queen on the right and bishop on the left.
Commentator B: Wow! A great interception by player B! Something truly unexpected! Player B sacrificed his Rook and Bishop but supported by his knight while his queen is getting ready to start the attack anytime Player A drops down his guard.
Commentator A: What an intense Game!! with the endless ticking clock and the light tapping of the clock by the players, it doesnt get better than this!!
simultaneously, every movement you have the stupid guys who paint 'C.H.E.C.K' on their belly and pulls up their shirt everytime there's a check. and does a wave to piss off the opponent by doing waves. At times you'll have a hot girl who suddenly just strips down half naked and hugs the players having to be escorted by the officials immediately.
now... that is extreme chess....

Focus me Arse....
Halluuuuu people!
I know, I know i've been gone for a while. I really do need someone to keep bugging me to update my blog. Thank you for those who did. it took you guys a while to bug me jugak. haha.
anywayyyy... i've had sooooo much stuff going through my head since i last typed. like massively a lot, cynical, serious, but most of it slowly faded with time. but lucky me, some of it are articles i bump into and immediately forward it to my email as a reminder.
let's do this one first....
Hey look at my tiny brain!!!
Well, someone sent me a link of one of Allah's best creation. i thought it was so amazingly unique in SO many different ways.
Basically this article talks about a fish that has a transparent head.... yes... it is very very true. if that doesnt spell coolness, then you should get yourself checked.
Can you imagine having to be in that fish's shoes??? or fins of that matter... of course first of all you'll be labeled as a freako. but now imagine the possibilities if you were COOL having a transparent head. you could even be a superhero... aaaaand you dont need a mask. someone comes attacking you from behind or the top (god knows, maybe some bad spider man juju shit), you'll be able to act like a ninja and just say 'aaaah... dont you even think!' and pull off some ninja stuff on them.
also... you could actually SEE how your brain works!! and ladies... now you can finally figure out what are men thinking about every 1 minute..... besides sex.
you can even check out that booger that has been annoying you in some hard to reach places in your nose and craft out some equipment to help you extract that amazing discovery.
yes... i think transparent head is cool....
Facebook in 30 years....
Now i'm not a big fan of forwards... but those good ones... I really do keep. since i need to save memory in my laptop... here's one good forward which i thought was possible and funny at the same time.
I can probably imagine mine....
M Irfan M thinks his children are adorable yet very annoying and would like to give 250 ringgit if someone could babysit them for one week while he and the Missus go for a holiday. Half now Half later... his pay only comes in at the end of the month and he does have other bills to pay....
Final Countdown....
Sometime early last month, i had a very cool course on Plant Performance Monitoring full of engineering calculations that made me feel like i was back in Rensselaer studying.
anyway, that's not the main thing. Since i drank a lot of water in my course, i pee quite frequently. and knowing the hotel restrooms, they'd always have some kind of songs to serenade you to make everything peaceful, jolly and nice while you take a shit and pee. but not this hotel... of which why i think this hotel rocks was because, in my urgency to pee... the song "The Eye Of the Tiger" came out while i was waiting in line in pain. yess... the song where Rocky was training extensively for his fight. the song pumped me up to do the best while i pee and do it my best. and i wasnt even doing number 2.
I think they should come up with these awe inspiring album compilation for Hotel Restrooms rather than the normal romantic, classical ones. Here are my suggestions for the album compilation for you to play and hopefully help to ease you during your toilet sessions....
1. The Eye of the Tiger
2. Final Countdown
3. 25 minutes too late
4. Back at One
5. Feeling Good
6. I Smell like Teen Spirit
7. I'm Not Gonna Miss a Thing
8. Gone, going, gone
9. Lost Without you
10. Hard to Explain
11. Hard to say Goodbye
12. Harder to breathe
great songs for your toilet session... :) enjoy.
Currently so much stuff going on with my wedding preps... so will share again soon :). in the time being... enjoy!

Big Cheese....
You know, i was just wondering, the hidden job scope of being a leader is brag about the leadership books you read. really. i'm honestly wondering. i've been bumping into so many of these characteristics, i wonder if i should start bragging about the books i read too!
of course, part of being a successful person is being a very well read person. that's a given. however, in my point of view Lah, everyone needs to identify the line between SHARING and BRAGGING.
well... maybe you're not bragging, but then there are times you need to find out the words and the correct expression of how to explain a book. too much expression is annoying like you're trying too hard (bragging lah lebih kurang), too little expression looks like you just being poyo (bragging jugak lah kiranya). i think there should be some type of self help course, or self development course out there that tackles '7 Expression to talk about the book you read'. Maxwell or Stephen Covey should cover that really.
sometimes when i wonder, if i do ever become a superior one day, will i be in this position?
"So, I read this book called 'The 10th edition of 7 Habits with 6 more habits added!' and honestly, if you dont read this, and dont indulge it, dont breathe it, dont live it, well my low life subordinates, your life is undoubtedly screwed. After i read it, i feel like a better leader already!".... yess.... indeed. your subordinates looks left and right, putting up thumbs up to everything you say, when deep down inside, there's only really one finger they would want to put up with all the given pretentiousness, you know what i mean?
it really does scare me truly... how will people view me as a leader later on in the future. how do u make people listen, and not just 'yeeep... sure', and do the stuff you ask them to do whole heartedly. what makes you the best of the BIG CHEESE without jeopardizing any poyo level. now that's a challenge.
COPS... bad boys bad boys....
do you guys ever watch the cops show on tv? here's another curiousity that peaked me. when did this show initially started and why are most of the cops look the same. from the women to the men. most of them have thick mustache,dark shades, and huge beer belly.
and they'll first be in a car, drive around and here's how the conversation usually goes
Cop A: As you can see that man in white looks like he's hiding something we'll drive around and see what he does.
Cop B: Ten-Four. (obviously im just throwing numbers here)
The cops start to turn around, the guy turned slowly in a different direction, and then the cop car approaches, drawing the windows down.
Cop A: Scuze me sir, can i see your ID please.
obviously this guy slowly turns, checking his wallet, then throws it to the Cops face, and start bolting his ass off the scene. Cop B opens the door and starts running like there's no tomorrow with his beer belly in the way. meanwhile Cop A makes a call.
Cop A: This is patrol car 15 requesting for backup. we've got a black male 6'2" heading northbound of hoosick street.
and suddenly the camera was running behind Cop B's big ass, and somehow, Cop B caught up with the dude, pushed him down, took off his shirt, and cuffed him and start reading him his rights. finally, when they frisk him, turns out, he a real working partially deaf executive, who just accidentally forgot his wallet at his apartment and went running to his apartment. now that would be an awesome twist.

Feeling Good....
I think i may have talked about Nina Simone's song, Feeling Good when i first heard the Muse version of it. Since then, i was in love with Nina Simone, Muse, Jazz, Blues, 70s Rock and other awesome groovy songs.
Here in Sarawak we dont have Thaipusam but lucky me, i got an off day today, which obviously any rest day is a very cool day. Woke up early, had breakfast with my colleagues, lunch, then in the evening went for a nice Hiking in the jungles.
I'm a person who is so VERY against listening to earphones when you are in the jungles or in any kind of moving adventure like white water rafting, mountain climbing, hiking and all in that line. but today i tried listening to it while i trek. initially, it felt really nice. humming and all. then Muse's Feeling Good came out, completely summarized how i felt about the weather and myself that day. it was sunny, productive, and i feel good. coincidentally, my complicated little head had an intersection of my thoughts on Amelie movie. of which, those who know me, is one of my favorite movies of all time.
in the movie the narrator explained the main characters of the movie on their likes & dislikes, and it makes me feel like i should type out my likes & dislikes of that week just like that. should you need anymore elaboration on my preferences, please do tell me.
1. I like the feel of new fresh towel from my closet on my skin
2. I like turning around after friday prayers and watch others do the sunnah prayer
3. I like country music this week
4. I dont like bangsa penjajah who are terribly arrogant
5. I dont like seeing my car dirty
6. I dont like seeing the living room in a terrible mess not caused by me
7. I like writing... & reading.....
8. I like the smell of Earl Grey Tea seeping through my nose and gives me goosebumps....
Anyway, towards the end of my trek, i was still humming not hearing the surrounding, when suddenly, something fell down from the trees, and turns out to be a baby snake. which, completely strengthens my theory, dont listening with your earphones/headphones in the jungles coz you never know when's the jungle coming for you. and yes... i ran far away from the baby snake before mummy jumps down on me too.
Process of getting married....
yes, it is one of the thing that gets to you really. you need money, you need a budget, checklist, think about the guests who, being Malaysian, kejap cakap datang, then suddenly during that day itself tak datang. yeps. that complicated. lagi lagi when the wedding is a buffet style. how i wished sometimes i was shit loaded and i could have a wedding in a garden for 1000 guests. oh, if only.
and yes, people do have dream weddings and all, apparently, my dream of having it by the beach doesnt fit the Malaysian culture with Makcik2 coming with what they wear, and the fact that Malasia's humidity is amazing here. So people, when you're getting married, i'm telling you this, right now, it's not easy, and there are shit load of things you need to consider.
i just have one thought in my mind in all this, 'I so wanna get married'. If you want it so bad, nothing should stop you.
Stephenie Meyer....
Since the movie Twilight came out the book has been at a time sold out in the entire country. from internet sources, the book and the movie has spanned a huge throng of followers who also created a costume and band evolving around the Twilight theme.
Simultaneously, since she is a very very new writer (twilight is her first book ever), there were some comments followed. some critics agree that it's a fun series of book. but there were some other critics who think she sucks as a writer, for example, Stephen King.
But what do i honestly think about her writing? Well i'm now on the 3rd book, Eclipse, but reading the series doesnt mean i LOVE it, head over heels on it, no. i just love the story line and the characters portrayed in the stories. as for writing, i'm honestly sick of the main protagonist's infatuation with her lover, and keep explainin how hot he is, how he keep melting her and all that. and it goes on and on THE whole way throughout THE WHOLE SERIEES. yes... Steph, i know you do have a lot of followers, but yes, we all GET IT, she's head over heels with Edward.
However, these critics may have said all this shit, but which of their books were on the hitlist of 2008? and which critics have fans dressing up like the characters. she may not be a great writer to us, BUT her statistics of the of her readers, say something totally different. New Moon is pretty cool....
Mt Kinabalu Expedition....
A lot of people asked me last time what's the view like up there, what to bring and all.
here's one thing for your info... i told this to many people, and i cannot stress how important for you to take it seriously and TRAIN. yes... train by doing a lot of jungle trekking. and dont forget having weights to bring in your backpack. i trained with 10 kilo, and ended up during the actual time having to carry something that weighs 12 kilo. seriously, pancit. bring your drinks and chill out. and dont ever forget to look around at the beauty around us.
Hope you'll love the pics, it goes from the peak, down to the middle of the process going up, and then the process of going down. why is it like that? i'm tired to re-organize. i spent my whole week monitoring organizing, i deserve to be a confused person once in a while.
yeps... up there... it completely amazes you, how you are above the skies, and yet you're no in the plane. you feel the cool wind breeze whispering to you 'YOU ROCK'. the nice chill that runs through your face reminds you of the good old times when we were younger. the breathtaking view just reminds you... that you're alive and there's so much more to this life than just you....
what amazing is, one of the pics has a small pond up in the mountains due to the rain. these ponds then overflow and eventually turn in to huge rivers & rapids. if that doesnt show God's power and existence, creating something so small and yet creating big differences, then you probably missed out on a whole lot.
should u be interested to climb anytime next year... please do give me a call.
Training week 1....
I signed myself up for a Silat Closed competition, and now i only have 2 months to train till i throw up every single day. last time i learned and really trained real silat was 2000. now, i'm doing it again.
i'm not scared if i lose, the only thing i really truly look forward to are the insane trainings and learning curve that i'll be going through. plus... things like these keeps me going.
Of which, i think, no matter how good you think you are, it will not matter if you dont have a goal, a check and balance, to prove to yourself, and NOT other people. to remind yourself, you can do it, and if you want it so bad, you'll work hard for it.
summary of week one training... bak kata my cikgu... 'muntah angin'. bunch of late 20s and mid 30s men trying to join a fighting competition. we so need to train....
