Random Blurbs

The wonderful thing bout iPod's
 - They drown out everything else you don't wanna hear

The wonderful thing bout Shure noise canceling earphones
 - They make sure the stuff you don't wanna hear remain unheard of

Walking around KLCC in a pair of Shure SE110, it was 1300 hrs, it was packed, and the only thing I heard was Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody playing on my iPod... ain't that amazing? :P

Perks working in an Apple Store eh?

I sure pity Haji Taib... they named a couple of roads after him, and look at what happened... The irony of it all...

The wonderful thing about friendship? Its more legal than stalking ;)

A Fundamental Flaw

I have come to realize a flaw within my being...

I am always looking forward to something else to challenge myself with...

To push myself beyond my limits...

To continuously outdo myself...

KL's Best Actor Award 2007

VC Cup 2008

GPA for Semester 1 2008

In all occasions I fared considerably well, better than the person next to me at least...

When others would rejoice at such feats, me a feeling of overwhelming happiness sweeps over me for a few minutes, and then I shall look for something else to test my abilities with...

KL Best Actor 2007 - A few hours later I was aiming to win the national championships

VC Cup 2008 - Ranked 16, A few minutes later I was planning on how best to train the teamand myself to win the VC Cup for Kedah before I go to Shah Alam

GPA for Semester 1 - Got of with a 4.0 GPA, 30 minutes later was aiming at achieving the same for my next semester

People would say having a goal and stuff gives on purpose making life more bearable, I admit it is true, but when you do what I do, you miss out on savoring these achievements

Perhaps its for you to envy and for me to continue looking for my bane...

Round 2 Coming RIght Up

I only consider something to be over when all the cards are on the table.

I only consider something to be over when no details are kept hidden.

So long as you leave me hanging, I shall consider it to be unfinished business.

I'm one presistant cockroach, I refuse to roll over and die.

Term 1 of Foundation in Law UiTM is finally over me.

Results were released on the December 18

And this is a recap of my achievements for the past term:

Festival of Independence Debate : Best Speaker; First place

VC Cup Debate : 16th Place

Final Term Results :-

BEL120 Consolidating Language Skills A+
BEL130 Communication Skills A
CSC134 Computers and Information Processing A+
MTC012 Introduction to Law 1 A+
MTC016 Introduction to Malaysian Government and Politics A+

GPA : 4.0

I appreciate the strings of congratulations everyone of you who knew and found out, I have no idea from who.

Funny how I didn't fare as well for my communication skills, ah well

Second term begins on the 30th of December.

Now This Is Personal

There is an underlying aspect in the human nature...

A core belief or principle as to which drives one to do they things that they do...

What makes one tick so to speak...

The relentless unending pursuit for perfection

That is what drives me...

I've always been instructed to perform, and be the best in any matter to which I partake in... I've always been told to go through my exams with flying colours and that I should always be one step ahead then the other... In a manner of speaking, I was raised with the belief that being second is being the first in a long line of losers...

And this aspect of my school years was later assimilated into how I now live my life... growing up thinking that one should always be the best, made me only aim for the best in life, and settling for just enough will never be an option for me, I shall accept "just enough" as a short term solution, but I will indeed zealously attempt to get what is best, and nothing in the world will ever stop me...

For me, life's too short to settle for "just enough"

Nobody is perfect, one hell of a cliche, but it ain't gonna stop me for trying...

To The Glorious Dead

I'm well known for my relatively practical and cold approach towards Death... as to how I see as an end that gives everything else meaning... And for my 100th post to be of a matter which concerns Death...

I find amusing, how the living can find glory and dignity in death... Those who died in battle are considered to be lucky, seeing as how they have died an honorable Death... We know hear of the dying to request to be allowed to die with some dignity...

There is no dignity in death... what happens after that is a matter of faith... but one thing is for certain... your physical shell rots, eaten away, slowly you disintegrate... there is no honor in death... there is no dignity... but one can indeed live with honor and dignity...

To those who died in the Bukit Antarabangsa Landslide, 12/6/2008.

I'm Happy That You're Happy

At times the greatest lie one can ever tell another

One in a long list life's cliches

A vain attempt at making one feel better about themselves.

You'd feel all rotten inside, and yet you still put up a front, you smile, and you say "I'm happy that you're happy" I applaud you for it takes guts to not just spill it all out and tell that particular someone how you REALLY feel.

Bugger...

On he bright side... I'm writing again...

Malay supremacy...



Being a Johanian all my life... the question of its importance was never much a concern to me... then... The government decided that it was best they sent me to UiTM instead of pursuing law in IIUM (come to think of it... I have had y fair share of public statements which make me liable for arrest under ISA... may be this is their way of getting to me... put me in an all bumiputera establishment) That was when i was introduced to the entire concept of “Malay Supremacy” and that how we are superior in terms of our rights... Article 154 became a study of interest for me.


Constitutionally speaking “Malay Supremacy” is not a “Right” it is instead a privilege, meaning it is subject to constitutional changes...


The concept of Malay Supremacy came up as a form of give and take... simply put, the malays will allow the immigrants at that time citizenship, in return they will recognize these special rights in which are given to the Malays. The state of inequality in which these rights promoted was to create a state of equality... a form of positive discrimination...


In which I believe will be and should be slowly taken away... To wait till equality is achieved and only then dissolve this rights is unimaginable... It is a truism in which there will always be approximate equality... there will always be a certain level of poverty...


For The record... Its Bumipuetra Rights... NOT Malay Rights

Of SPM

In light of recent happenings... Lets have a one way discussion on the concept of being free...


I do this in respect of the end of high-school for many... Some of which I honestly care about....


The thought of going to school... and SPM being the dreaded part of it all... the single examination that determines what happens for you in life.... that  partly decides how what life has for you from that point forth...


Everyone looks forward to the end of that last paper in an examination schedule that spans for at least a months time... Eagerly awaiting the coming of that last paper... you plot and devise plans on what and how to proceed directly after that single point in the space-time continuum... with the  belief that salvation comes directly after that last paper...


On a personal account... what happened to me directly after SPM was that Marvin, Hasan and I decided to take the train to KLCC... we all went to Starbucks... had a venti frapucinno  each... the only thing we could say to each other was... Now What? God knows what Hasan did prior to completing SPM... but Marin and I got involved with The Illusion and after that I proceeded to working in an Apple Store in Pavilion, Bukit Bintang, and then I was shipped out for NS.


Fact of the matter is SPM is the only thing - Malaysia having an exam-oriented education system - that gave your high-school life substantial purpose... it was the sole reason that drove you to the the things you do... be it directly or indirectly... mainly because of the magnitude in which it carried for many... we all want to climd the societal ladder which dictates our lives...


So when you take SPM away... the single aspect in which gave 5 years of your life reason and meaning... a silly examination which you put your best foot forward for, that silly examination in which you placed a goal... this goal is what we consider to be a short-term goal in within a bigger plan... a mechanism to which we must go through in order to further ourselves... and once you take this away... once you walk past that point...


A feeling of emptiness subsides within yourself...


Now what?


Is this what you’ve been waiting for?

Of Employment and Not Doing Aything

I am employed...


Once more...


Yes  I do indeed have a phobia of not being able to do anything... I must do something.... even f i were to stay at home... I’d either be on WoW raiding, or trying to long on to WoW seeing as how the queue borders on insanity.... There was this once, I actualy had to wait for a whole hour to log on... Currently in conflict... should I continue to level my mage or do I instead opt to run about Azeroth with the Death Knight which renders everyone else F.U.B.A.R.


Back to being at work... One more employed at EpiCentre Pavilion, so lemme know if anyone needs any goods from Apple... Gimme a ring... I’m off now... gotta start busying myself with attempting to look busy... See you soon

Of Cons

The art of lying… finest of em all…

A sharp tongue, absolute confidence, a certain amount of suave and swagger

Simple traits which will take you a good distance provided you know how to best utilize them… The problem about cons is that, you can’t con a conman…

Was walking thru the streets of KL, and they have these silly prank show recordings… thing bout us is that we’re always looking at the angles… taking notice of our surroundings more than the average person… basically I noticed the “trick” and ruined it for em… why? Because I can… poor gal… deeerved it I suppose… having the time of her life at the expense of other people… but then again… isn’t that exactly what I do?

Temptations

In life, there is always the temptation to do the things that you’re not supposed to. The flaw of humanity; it is fundamental in your psychological makeup to go against the music, defiance. The question is, should we succumb? Do we live by the rules which govern modern society or do we live by rules of our own?

I personally have little to no regard to societal rules, called me an anarchist if you want, but there are just some things I will not acknowledge. I live by my own set of rules, principles. The question is for how long one can remain as such. Immovable, incorruptible. On a cheesy aspect, the concept is simple, you either die a hero – holding on to what you believe in – or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain. Up till today, immovable and incorruptible is the way life is lead. Peer pressure becomes nothing more than a concept, a misconstrued belief. I’ve crossed over to the dark side and waltzed my way back.

Rule No. 1: Never apologize, simply acknowledge your mistakes.

Of recent occurrences

Been off to UiTM Shah Alam for the Vice-Chancellor’s Cup debate, can’t say the team did so well, on a more personal level, I came off with a total of 368 speaker points, which places me at 16 from a list of over a hundred debaters, not bad for a first time. But performance definitely did not meet the expected outcome.

Will definitely miss Alex Hakim, Sarah Yasmin, and Syam…

Looking forward to the coming semester; legal studies and debate.

Incorruptible and Immovable…

This Shall Contain Little or Absolutely No Intellectual Merit In It

I seem to really take my time when it comes to typing out blog posts. It is either because I no longer think my life is interesting, or the fact that I’ve just been too busy, or it might just be that I just don’t bother anymore. To narrow down the case, do you seriously think someone as self-centered and self-loving as I am is ever capable to consider myself uninteresting? The fact that I’m busy is just another lame excuse.

So currently I am typing in my room with absolutely no lights on mainly because everyone else is dead asleep... apparently my biological clock is a tiny bit off today seeing as how I fell asleep considerably early only to wake up in the wee hours of the morning to be reviewing badly written essays by my much “loved” classmates.

Dead busy with the CoLT multimedia presentation, been working on getting the footage  the past couple of days and have decided to put the project to rest and have an attempt at studying for my upcoming finals. Currently expecting nothing less than a string of A’s, and my prospects do look good... so far.

Of Debate

This House Believes That Examinations Is A Waste of Time

This House Believes That Lollypops Are Better Than Chocolate Bars

The two motions for our last session before the VC Cup debate in Shah Alam... Looking forward to it... Currently I’m just not bothered to make any sense with any intellectual arguments, instead prefer being sensible by arguing in a manner that does not make any sense. Am I making any sense to you?

So Members of the House I Say You Ought To Stop Biting and Start Licking and Sucking

-  Closing Sentence, Second Government Speaker, yours truly

Overwhelming For Some

OF GETTING WHAT YOU WANT

Had a splendid time with an even more splendid bunch of people...

People may find it odd to have a debater/actor to be remarkably quiet and not vocal except for moments on stage or instances where he has a mike in his hand...

Simply put, I don’t talk a lot... though those who are close to may beg to differ, I only speak when there is a need for me to speak, other times I sit, observe and process... odd as it may be but I personally enjoy watching you lot go about your daily lives with your antics... remarkably amusing though admittedly at times it is at your expense.

So a statement to be made which concerns my Modus Operandi (M.O.) [ain’t that cool?] in which i execute to get what I want...

I do not wait to be given a task... If there is a role to be fulfilled I will step up and offer my services... I refuse to have to undertake a task which was forced upon me... Such an act I consider to be an insult to my understanding of my abilities... I refuse to follow someone who was also forced to be placed in a position; I would rather follow a blind fool who volunteered to lead than that of a deaf fool who was forced to lead simply because he was the only person who had the gift of sight...

I know what I want, and I do not let anything get in my way... the ends shall always justify the means for me... and yes, I need someone to have a look at my moral compass... it seems to only point north when it is convenient... But I’m not really complaining

OF CoLT 2009

I have agreed to come up with a video presentation for CoLT 2009... and yes I use the term “I” simply because it was a decision I came up with without consulting anyone... I have been tasked to come up with a committee to execute the project...

The names which were announced in class are redundant... you may take part in the project if you want to, you may decide otherwise... I shall contact individuals which I think I will need to ensure that the task is completed on schedule... You may also offer your services in any way you see fit... Again I reiterate, You do not have to be a part of it if you don’t want to... I need not deal with unnecessary drama...

OF PL1A

*ding ding ding ding* Ladies and five smart young gentlemen... I am to remind you that you are to remit payment for the Pre-Law dinner thingy when we return to UiTM after our break... thank you

THOSE WHO DO NOT DESIRE POWER ARE NOT FIT TO DESERVE IT

Of Recent Postings and Misunderstandings

OK... First things first...

If ever in a post there is a word highlighted in blue, that shows that the particular word is actually a link, which will link you to another webpage... 

My posts are either intensely vague or explicitly boring, and in such moments I use these amazing features called links to further clarify what a post is about...

So please, if you see a link, do click on it...

and no I do not smoke... I may treat my body like a machine, pushing it to its limits till it breaks, but i refuse to pollute it, nor would I ever take any form of substance that may mess with my remarkable cranial features...

With regard to Miss Taskin... I say, i live in the general area between Kg Melayu Ampang and Ampang Jaya... A landmark I refer to would be ISKL...

Of Hari Raya...

Wonderful people ya lot with all those text messages...

Spent the morning in doing the unusual... the usual being sleeping till 0900... and basically spent a majority of the day playing CRYSIS... which at first I thought to be overrated but later got around to enjoy it...

Looking forward to spending the day with Denise tomorrow :)

Long story short...
It RAINED

Of Getting What You Need

Been a long while since I’ve posted something that directly concerns me…

Let me rephrase that… have not posted something that looks so obvious that I have something to do with it

So basically, my Dad was in Kedah for the day… we went out to break fast with a whole bunch of other people…
The best part was… I actually managed to get myself in a bath… like an actual tub with warm water and bubbles and all the jazz.. and damn it felt soooo good… Food was just as well…
And I finally got my Sony Ericson back… it is just wonderful to have it back… finally I can go back to snapping pictures on my son… teeehee

*Bounces off*

Sauntering About

Looking back at my SPM scores, I should’ve been placed in UiTM Shah Alam in the pre-law fast track program…

Just wondering what it would’ve been like if I were to have received a place in Shah Alam…

And I’m sincerely hoping people would start acting their age…

Ah well…

Managed to get decent scores for Introduction to Law 1 test… like I said… decent… shouldn’t complaining I suppose

Went to kaki seni to check the regular auditions being held back in KL… I miss being someone else on stage… sucks as all hell to know how much I’m missing

Still hoping people would start acting their age… Or maybe I just grew up too fast…


Anyone can act, even actors; and you can do theatre anywhere, even in theatres

Of Opportunity, Options and Getting What You Deserve

A simple fact of life…

We work, obtain something like say a record as proof to what we have achieved, such evidence we use as a form of an application so that we are placed one step further in the societal ladder we diligently climb. Such an application is processed, and we are given options – paths so to speak – for us to take in order to ascend to another level.

For most if not all of us, plans have we made as we envision ourselves climbing steps made by society, we picture our ascension every step of the way. Yet after such detaled planning, life decides to throw a curve ball at us, and decides to put us in the opposite direction. Left with little choice we grudgingly thread the path. Believing that the grass is greener on the other side…

I should know, I was left in the same situation… but right now, I’m just gald things didn’t turn out the way I planned them to be… I’m just gladd to be where I am right now…

UiTM Kedah Festival of Independence Debate with the motion “This House Believes That Malaysian Youth Are Still In A Dream After 51 Years Of Independence” adopting the British Parliamentary Style, The the Champions were the Closing Oppostion with Muhammad Izzat bin Fauzan and Nor Ikhwan with the Best Speaker Award going to Muhammad Izzat bin Fauzan…

The debate was indeed a clean sweep, and most importantly awesome friends were made throughout the way…

Looking forward to the Vice Chancellor’s Cup Debate in Shah Alam…

Of Edward Cullen, Preconceptions, and Misconceptions

Assume

Assume that a man, perfectly ordinary in every odd sense of the word, assume that the man was told that he reminded someone of a certain fictional character, that this man was to be compared with the personification of the most desired man of the generation. Assume such a thing were to happen.

Put yourself into his shoes and imagine the ideas one were to formulate when one is compared to such a character, the ideas he might have formed on his own – they may be of no basis but it matters not, such matters close to the heart aren’t meant to have any basis or even at times make any sense – and picture the preconceptions he would have formulated on his own about the person who compared him to a character desired by many. Once ideas are formulated it is only normal for one to come up with a course of action, in order to make such ideas come to life. When a specific course of action has been formulated, it is only prudent to assume that at this point, a certain amount of hope lingers in ones heart.

Now imagine all those ideas and hope crushed… Simply because of a singular yet significant information was missed out… Imagine how he would feel

Walking By...

The one glaring difference when one compares Varsity with the years they spent in high school is the freedom one gets…

Trust me, the uniforms that you put on every morning as you prepare yourself for another day in school doesn’t make that big a difference… I mean seriously, freedom of expression? Article 19 Universal Declaration of Human Rights? I’ve actually been in debates over uniforms, and it is absolutely pointless. What you have on you does not matter, so long as you pay attention in class and understand what you’re supposed to. Forget uniforms… Do what you’re supposed to do, and do it right… and this is coming from the guy who wears his tracks and a plain white t-shirt to class with uncombed hair… but damn I looked good :P

So basically being in a University means that you manage your own time, nobody tells you what to do, and also the fact that you can skip classes as you please (just be prepared to face the music when you mess up)

Went to an audition for a role in a theatre performance, which was bad mainly cause the medium is in Malay, and we all know how well versed I am with the language. Met lots of nice people though… that always makes the day…

I will also be on my mid-semester break from the 15th to the 23rd of August… hope to see you lot soon…

The Prodigal Son Returneth

It’s been a while since my last post. It has been a month and 15 days to be exact.

So basically this is a quick run thru to what has happened to me for the past month, first week was basically orientation which they referred to as Minggu Mesra Siswa or MMS for short. The normal procedural speeches and a few sessions meant to make a certain group of students more malay than what they are now. Highlights of the week would be me ending up as an EMCEE for the Vice Chancellor’s speech which was executed flawlessly and  suave regardless of the pressure my partner and I was receiving from the program coordinator. I was also to be told that I am over-qualified to be in UiTM Kedah, the Law Coordinator told me that I ought to have received a place in UiTM Shah Alam instead, doing the accelerated programme but no matter, I shall be enjoying being in a programme for Dummies so-to-speak.

Classes began immediately the week after and  my classes are as such, BEL120 (Simple English – I call this English for the Disabled), BEL130 (Communicative English – I call this one English for toddlers), MTC012 (An Introduction to Law – My favorite class by far), MTC016 (Malaysian Government and Politics – Am the personal consultant for the lecturer on this one xD), and CSC134 (Computer Science – which I call An Introduction to Computers for the Technologically UN-savvy).

Am also in the Debate Team… and blown the minds of many… and apparently that single appearance made me an ace in the University’s Vice Chancellor’s Cup line up… that performance also made yours truly the English Language Club’s (ELC) poster boy for public speaking (mind you I’m not in ELC). And Am also known to be the guy who uses huge words, I mean seriously, a totalitarian government is not a huge word, nor is consequentialism or altruism. *sigh*

Coming back for a week on the 15th… hope to be able to catch up with you lot.

And oh yeah, it was my birthday on the sixth… I thank you all for the wishes… interestingly enough, on my birthday, the chair I was sitting on decided to give up on me and lost a leg while I was still on it. Had lunch alone, and had some stay for dinner… Peaceful bliss, what a way to mark me turning legal J

WE ARE WHO WE ARE DUE TO THE LACK OF TRUISM WITHIN OURSELVES, AND THAT IS THE SOLE REASON HUMANITY IS INTERESTING

A Deep Breath... Look Back

At which one takes a break… tired from walking… and turns back to look over the path that was… 

And takes a stroll down memory lane




In which time was spent skipping class… drama practices… in which I attribute to my SPM results… am sure I would’ve done worse in SPM had I been attending classes


and I ran across this in the badminton hall



The under equipped Hall in which actors (and grunts) were made


And to my personal outrage… the school administration (in which I refer to with as much resentment as I have when I think off “The English Department”) has put this up in the school portico



 Fide at Labore… Fide is NOT principle… Fide literally translates into faith… Labore on the other hand literally translates into labour… in which was later changed into Zeal (mainly due to the rather negative connotation in which labour is to be used in an institution for the development of young minds) which means the enthusiastic devotion of which a person has towards achieving / attaining something… Now I say this with all the vanity a person can have in oneself (which is considerably less to what I have in myself) is Zeal not considerably more poetic than “hard work”? Mr Peter and his accomplices … are your skulls really that empty?



And look at what came through the mail…


Offer letters to which I declined… 


I’m leaving for UiTM Asasi Undang-Undang…

And as I was packing and clearing up my room… yes, its now relatively cleaner than what it used to be… look at what I found


Just another notebook you say? Take a look inside


 The First Few Pages... Questionable Motives: Everyone Has A Rent To Pay... The Original Draft... The First Script Ever To Receive The KL's Best Script Award



 this is when your playwright got bored (the politically correct term here would be paranoid)






From this point on the author was introduced to the wonders of the computer and how slow it takes for Microsoft Word to load and how easy it was to misplace your files


Leaving On The 28th of June at    0500

 

I’ll Just See You When I See You

 A Deep Breath… Walks on
