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.

Curtain Closes

Here We Go Again

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.

To The Glorious Dead

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...

Rule no. 5: Life's a game, play it like you've got nothing to lose

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?
