Firestarter - The Rants of a Pyrophile

hallo...

seems like i reverted to my old ways of not being able to keep a journal. last update, may 23rd. more than 2 months ago eh? heheh. all time record. cant help it that i'm lazy. i did try blogging sometime between the 2 month hiatus though. i started like 3 posts but never managed to finish any of them. to tell you the truth, this one has a high chance of not being posted too. lets see how this goes.

well, uni started. got some very interestingly quirky lecturers this time round. haha. theres dr qasim, who's the most sarcastic and self-loving lecturer i've ever had the chance to encounter. i mean, how many lecturers do you know who would go around saying 'i'm the most beautiful lecturer in uia, if not the world'. there's dr ashour, who was slightly boring at first but getting cuter and cuter (in an old people sort of way) as the sem goes on. you could really see how much into mechanical engineering he is when he starts drawing eyeballs as a circular body attached to a spring which is attached to a wall. and thats how he draws a head on shoulders too. and his impression of a stomach is basically a circle with 2 squiggly lines inside them, the lines being all the gaster juice things i assume. oh and there's my mechanics of materials tutor, alau, who's the most paranoid android i've ever met. he thinks all the conversations that goes on in class are about him. for example.

students: *whisperwhisperwhisper*
alau: can you please stop talking about me
student1: we're not talking about you
alau: i know you're talking about me, students always talk about me behind my back
student1: we're not talking about you, we're talking about food, we're hungry
student2: yeah, we dont talk about you in class, we only talk about you outside of class, we always say how kind you are (in the most butt-kissing+sarcastic tone you could imagine)
alau: i dont care what people say about me you know
student1: we're not talking about you!!!

and thats pretty much how it went throughout the whole tutorial session.

anyways, the workload is definitely increasing exponentially. not sure whether i feel that way because there are actually a lot of work, or because i hd gotten so used to the minimal assignments given during the short sem. either way, i'm developing severe eyebags and even went as far as bringing my assignments home for the weekend so i could do them. shocking? understatement. but thats the price you pay for being a uni student.

moving on. have you ever felt so scared that your whole body starts to shake? if you havent, lucky you. i had the misfortune of experiencing that last week. i'm not sure why i was so scared. it was around 330 on thursday and i'd just finished my gas assignment in ida's room. after that i had to go to the toilet cause i need to brush my teeth and all. anyways, while i was in the toilet, i started imagining all these scary stories in my head, you know, things like big scary hairy ugly figure appearing before me, or a 'lady' dressed in white with long hair and possibly the ugliest face you've seen. all these imaginations aren't abnormal when you're up at those early hours in the morning. i should know. i'd be up at 3 in the morning, 4 days out of the 5 that i stay in uni. and those imaginations never bothered me before. i usually just find some other thought to distract me. but for some odd reason that morning, i couldnt shake off the images of scary things, and the fear made me shake so badly.

but i went on about my business as usual, remembering how old people say that those 'things' whatever they may be, would usually appear to those who are really really scared. imagine taking wudhu' while your hands are so shaky that even turning on the tap seemed an impossible task. after i managed that, i virtually ran to my room, hoping that the fear will go away once i'm in the company of my roomies. but they were all fast asleep, lights out and everything. so i decided to pray isya', again hoping that would calm me down at least a little bit. even that didnt work. i was still shaking badly after the prayer. as a last resort, i woke kak ayu up, who asked me to wake her up around 3 something anyway. only after that did i start to feel better. even then, i still slept next to her the rest of the morning. all the while, i felt incredibly silly being scared like that. but what could i possibly have done?

writing all that is making me creeped out again. i'll stop now. okay. feeling better.

anyhow, i just wanna say thanks to all my mates who were resourceful enough to have pulled a surprise dinner for me on monday. muchas gracias amigos. had me conned until that cake bit. i honestly thought that we were only going to hs for dinner. but they went and reserved a place at thai house and had them switch off the lights so the candles on my cake would look better, much to the annoyance of other customers i think. but still, definitely on my list of things to remember for the rest of my life. so thanks a lot nad, una, faiz, fana, wani, red, anis, aiman, funan and pres!!! (in no particular order). love u guys lots!

well, other news include dude getting a job. woo hoo!! thats both good news and bad news for me. on one hand, i'm happy that she found something she enjoys doing and is very good at which generates income. but on the other hand, i cant just call her up to pick me up from uni anytime i want. haha. selfish me i know. she got a job at cosmotots. its a dream job, if you consider location. i mean, 3 minutes drive from home, and its situated right above mcdonalds. mmmm. i'd love to work there, if there werent all those kids around.

well, thats about all the time i'm willing to spend for now. so i'm off now. updates will come. but dont hold your breath though. blog is not dead! blog was just hibernating. long live blog. heheh. stay outta trouble amigos. adios y hasta luego.

hey everyone!!!

i'm back! not that i was ever gone. but still. saying that makes me feel as if i was away to fulfil some important mission or something. before i start ranting any further, i just wana say HAPPY BIRTHDAY MUM!!! not that mum reads my blog. i hope to god she doesnt actually. anyhow, yeah, its her birthday today and i came home so we could celebrate it. which is why i'm strangely updating my blog on a tuesday night.

okay, its a well known fact, at least to una anyway, that i am obsessed with the winchester brothers from supernatural, particularly dean. note how i say the winchester brothers and not jensen ackles and jared padalecki. hot as they are, i dont really know them. but after watching the entire season of supernatural, i feel like i really know dean and sammy, you know. like we really connected. call me delusional. because i really am.

back to the point. i never really fully understood the actual magnitude of my obsession with the show until this morning. i slept after i came back from my probability class. it was around 10 something. i dreamt that a couple moved into my neighbourhood (they looked like billie's parents from charmed). and they kept coming round asking to come in. and i kept politely telling them no because my parents werent in.

so one day, while me n my big sis (aka dude) was hosting a party for a bunch of middle aged people (god only knows why), they came again and asked to come in. so i thought, yea alright, since all these old people are here too, you might as well come in. so i invited them in. huge mistake! as soon as i did that, they came in and started feeding off of my guests. yep. they were vampires. so me and dude had to work out something quick. we went upstairs and started searching the stationary cabinet. and thank god we found wooden rulers. you know, the ones that are pretty useless since the straight lines you wana draw arent straight at all because they have really rough edges. anyway, we took one each and i sharpened one of the edges or my ruler with a swiss army knife.

with a finesse that wouldve made buffy proud, i staked the guy vampire real hard. the problem was, i staked him through the right part of his chest, which is totally the wrong part of the chest. and he fled along with his wife. so we went out of the house, and my sister got in my dad's car and started chasing them. at the same moment, this guy got out of his car and said 'here, use my car'. and i did. and what a sweet ride it was. it was a metallic blue bmw 7 series. i only had to tap the accelerator slightly and the engine roared and the car went from 0-100 (kmh that is) in no time. the rims were shiny chrome 18 inch ones. the meters were all digitalised and illuminated with cool colours. out of that whole dream, it was the car that i can remember most vividly. the car was lowered so i felt slightly vertically challenged driving it. but it was great nonetheless.

even though i had such a cool car, i didnt manage to catch the vampires. and then i woke up. and thats about as close as i'd get to driving a beemer. or to driving for that matter.

so thats about it. oh yeah, life is a pain after being on a tv show. so if the thought of doing something as stupid as that even cross your busy minds, u better shoot yourself first before that thought materialise. comprende? muy bien.

anyway. i reckon i've found my favourite type of music. i dont really know the name of the genre. from my observations, i have found that in order for me to really fall in love with a song, it has to have really heavy guitar riffs, a really deep, macho guy's voice, singable chorus and thats about it i think. i have no idea why i'm writing all this. its pretty useless facts. but then again, half of the things i write about are useless. so thats that.

right then. i best be off now. have to go to sleep. got class tomorrow. boohoo. dont really feel like going. theres only a limited amount of mathematical stuff you can absorb in the space of 4 weeks. after that your brain gets saturated and even though you try to cram more stuff in, the stuff will just get thrown back out. and that, ladies and gentlemen, is the story of my short sem.

okay, now i'm really going. and i will leave you with the very profound words of dean winchester. "dude, u fugly".

'i've always wanted to be a writer', kiren thought. that is why she blogs eventhough she's fully aware that the amount of people who read her posts comes up to be about 5. still. she does it anyway. it gives her an enormous sense of well being. when she was younger, she started writing a novel. it was about a guy and a girl in high school and it involves magic and time travel and juvenile romance. she used to watch buffy and stargate. she now wonders what happened to that novel.

kiren went home from uni last wednesday much to the surprise of her mother. kiren's mum did not ask why she had come home. when she did ask, however, it went something like 'did you come back just to watch football?'. kiren sat bewildered and slightly scared that her mum would tell her dad and her dad would, in turn, get mad at her and give her a long and painful lecture, if she were to say yes. but she said yes anyway, knowing she couldnt lie to her mum. and she was rewarded for telling the truth by not having to listen to her dad's painful lecture. at least not yet anyway.

so she came home for the sole purpose of watching arsenal triumph over barcelona in the champions league final. her trip home was only 50% worth it. she watched arsenal, thats for sure. but they didnt triumph over barcelona. they came close though considering the circumstances they were in. losing 2-1 to the spanish champions when they were 1 man down proved that they put up some serious resistance, however futile it seemed. kiren's thought pattern during the match went something like this.

1st minute: oohh kick off. where's freddie? there he is. how cute. wow, they started off well. good possession. the pace is great. keep this up and we'll win for sure. urgh, its so creepy down here all alone at this time of night. aiyo, hungry la pulak. just wait till half time.

in the following 15 minutes, similar thoughts flashed across her simple mind. complicated thoughts such as the probability that arsenal would go home with the champions league trophy never surfaced because she had to concentrate really hard on where the ball was as it traveled at different speeds from player to player. so she was completely settled on the sofa, feeling content at the way her boys was playing. that was until the around the 18th minute.

around 18th minute: shite! it went in. owh wait. good. the ref stopped the game. shite! not good. could be a yellow card and a penalty considering lehmann grabbed dat dude's ankle. wtf?? a red card?? he's got to be joking. y not let the goal stand and just let everything go. why ref why??? why would you sabotage all hope of arsenal winning this match?? this is unjust!! haha. emotional nye the commentator. must be an arsenal supporter. oh well. at least its not a penalty. come on almunia!! bring it on! hmm. pires is coming off. interesting.

and it pretty much went that way for another 20 minutes.

around 40th minute: yes! eboue is down! looks a bit dramatised. but nevermind. a free kick is a free kick. ref is dodgy. here comes the free kick. it went in! it went in!! yes! must not shout. one-nil to the arsenal! yes! i love sol campbell. just hold on till half time boys.

and they held on. as soon as dodgy ref blew the halftime whistle, kiren went into the kitchen to look for something edible. she opened the cupboard doors and saw a packet of chipsmore cookies. kiren didnt feel like having anything sweet. so she decided to have maggi instead. as kiren is writing all this down, she feels hungry.

at the start of the second half, kiren was happy that arsenal were one up and that she was no longer hungry after having eaten a bowl of nice hot maggi. for most of the second half, she just watched the ball (and the players) play the beautiful game as barcelona kept attacking harder. there were tonnes of alarming instances when she thought that barca would score. she then understood why doctors claim that watching football, particularly final matches, can be hazardous to one's health.

having a full tummy, kiren dozed off. barely 5 seconds after she did (or what she thought was 5 seconds), she heard the commentators' voices get all excited. and she woke up with a start. as she looked at the scoreboard, her heart sank. in the 77th minute, barca had equalised. she was sad. feeling that had she stay awake, arsenal would still have been in the lead. she made herself feel better thinking that the match outcome does not, in anyway, depend on her retained consciousness. so she hoped that arsenal would hold on until the final whistle so that the match would be decided on penalties.

however much she hoped, she was disappointed at last. barca scored again sometime near the 90th minute. and she knew it was all over. unless arsenal could score in the final 2 minutes or so, the trophy was barca's. kiren felt hopeless and depressed as the referree added 4 minutes of extra time and then finally blew the whistle. arsenal had lost the champions' league final. kiren felt teary eyed. it was so close. yet as she watched the arsenal players looked on as barca pranced in joy, she couldnt help but feel an immense sense of pride. they had come really far. losing to barca is nothing to be embarrassed about. they were the worthiest opponent. so she went upstairs and slept, in preparation of a whole day of taunts that will surely befall her the following day.

its heartbreaking when you see someone else living your dreams. as much as you want them to do well, there's still that small part of you that wonders, why him and why not me? (by you, i mean me). ah well. i'll get over it. i'm gonna have to get over it. its not as if i can do anything about it anyway.

khairun 'living my alternative dreams' baharuddin

goooooood moooooooorniiiiiiing!!!

and what a wonderful morning it is. heheh. AAAAARRSENAAALLLLLL!! yes. its 4.45 in the morning and i just finished watching arsenal took on villareal at highbury. the result? one niiilllll to the arsenal. although it really should've been 3 nil. stupid linespeople. they were so wrong. hahaha. not gonna count my chickens just yet though. its only the first leg. and its at home. so i'll just count my chickens next week.

highlights? obviously the goal by toure. erm, and the squirrel i guess. hahaha. so cute. early in the first half there was this squirrel on the pitch. and it stayed on for a while too. hahaha. the ref stopped the game for a bit. it wasnt that much of a nuisance. but i guess if the players were to step on it, the pitch would get very messy. haha. lets see. what else. hmm. forlan, in my opinion still looks very much like a ponce. and the goalie. barbosa. 4 words. pirates of the carribean!! hahaha. arrr! arsenal controlled most of the match. there were tons of chances. a bit unlucky i guess. oh yeah, 5 minutes of extra time at the end of the match? now i've seen everything.

anyhow. arsenal are currently 5th in the league. behind tottenham. horrorshow, i know, but its true. we do have a game in hand though (we've played 34, they already played 35) but even if we win that, we'd still be behind. so after doing a bit of maths, the best shot we have of finishing fourth to qualify for the champs league through the premier league, is if they lose all of their remaining games and we win all of ours. we play them next matchday. if i had to choose, i'd say that we'd win that match. hahaha. elsewhere, chelsea couldnt celebrate winning the title just yet since united beat tottenham so technically they're still in the race even though they're like 11 points behind. give it up united. its pointless. after only being beaten 3 times in 35 matches, do you actually think they'll lose the last 3? doubt it. save yourselves the trouble.

next up, trip to penang. last time i stopped at the first day of the trip. alrighty then, second day. we got hold of a car. big help. otherwise we wouldve had to take the bus everywhere. that would've been really inconvenient. so many thanks to fahan's uncle n aunt n cousin for lending it to us. it was a honda charade i think. modified. haha. u know, massive exhaust, lowered. kinda cute if you looked at it long an hard. grows on you i guess. anyways, early that thursday morning (okay, maybe not so early), we took the car to the beach. batu feringghi. dunno if i spelt that right. we drove to the ferry terminal and took a ferry across the river and from there we just followed the signs (road signs, not divine related or anything like that), designated driver, una!! thanx dear. she's great at it. drove like she knew her way round. didnt get lost once.

so the first part of the day was spent at the beach. love that salty, fishy smell. we did lots of things. well, the limited number of things that could be done at the beach anyway. we played tag in the sea (tiring), we drew our names on the sand, made hand prints and took pictures of it (will try to get hold of the pictures), we just sat there and had a competition to see who can resist the waves the best. all in all it was fun. first obstacle, however, came when we saw a lizard come up from the sea. gross. we all came up to the beach as fast as we could. but after the lizard left, we went back into the laut. the thing that really made us quit was the sighting of a jellyfish. in a scene straight out of jaws, we came up to the shore running and freaking out, like our very lives depended on getting out of the water. or was it just me? still. we were scared. after that we didnt go back into the water.

so after we were done with the beach. we had lunch and then we went to the spice garden. that was nice. it was like going into the forest minus all the trekking. we just walked on the pavements. saw lots of trees (obviously). and lots of spice plant things. half the things there i didnt know looked like that. get what i mean? highlight of that visit? all of us taking turns to go into the hammock. a bit like jakun la us. but we didnt care. there werent anyone else around. and there was this cool massive swing that could probably fit all five of us but being the law abiding citizens that we were, we only went on it two at a time since that was the limit. yeah, that was cool.

after that we went to georgetown. visited fort cornwallis. that was cool. they had them old school rifles/muskets. you know, the type that you can only fire once at a time and you have to stuff the bullets and the explosive through the muzzle into the barrel using them long sticks. so that was cool. loadsa cannons everywhere. i lost track of the times i went up to a cannon and started chanting 'AAAARSENAAALLL'. people probably thought i was a lunatic. i wouldve been an embarrassment to my parents. haha. anyhow, that place was really cool. there was supposed to be a moat around it but they had to bury it back in god knows when because there was a malaria outbreak. it was cool being there. total time warp. haha.

we didnt stay long there because it was closing. went to masjid kapitan keling (another historical site) for prayers and then went back to batu feringghi in search of dvds. it was real late by the time we got them. fahan got marah-ed at by her uncle for coming back so late. but i guess in a sense it was worth it. we went back using the penang bridge. pretty. liked it lots. an engineering marvel (geeky siot). so that was basically it for the 2nd day. i reckon i'll leave the third day for later.

you guys mustve noticed the skin change. for those of you like kma who were quick, you got to see the green one with the horrid arrangement where my post was way too low. wanted to fix it. couldnt be arsed. couldnt figure out how to change the size of my tagboard (yes, i am very much IT illiterate). so the best way is to change the skin completely. hahaha. didnt really like the green one anyway. reminded me of mouldy mould. so get use to this one folks. because the next change wont be for another long while. oh yeah, i reckon the woman in the pic is kinda cool.

neways, thats all for now folks. dah subuh dah pun. sleep is beckoning. oh yeah. watched supernatural a few nights ago. lets just say its the first tv show, or any show for that matter, that gave me nightmares. highly recommended. its coming on axn in may. yay!! jensen ackles = hot. right then. now i'm really going. stay outta trouble lads and lasses. adios y hasta luego.

khairun 'gooner' baharuddin

hey y'all!!!

oohhh....been awhile hasnt it? more than a month definitely. hahaha. no excuses. i've just been doing other stuff. mostly useless, as usual, but they're other stuff nonetheless. so how's everyone? good i hope. me? well, my left ankle hurts after i twisted it when i was wearingmy wedge sandals. it didnt hurt straight away. truth be told i was just glad no one saw it. would've been real embarrassing.

other than that, everything's fine n dandy! on holiday right now, as are most of you. a bit sad that we only get two weeks, but i cant complain too much. some people only got less than a week. results will be out soon. *shudder*. i had a terrible nightmare last night. i dreamt i got an F for my thermodynamics. shock shock horror horror. the thought of it alone sickens me.

anyways, onto something less depressing. lots had happened while i wasnt blogging. the most obvious one was the final exams. three weeks of pure mental torture. started with introduction to flight. i sucked at that. then onto introduction to organizational behaviour. i reckoned i did alright. next it was fluid mechanics. sucked at that too. and then linear algebra. sucked. then engineering materials. sucked. and last, but by no means least, thermodynamics. sucked times ten to the power of infinity squared. if that was possible. wait a sec, this isnt something less depressing. nevermind. wrote a paragraph of it already.

last week i did something fun. barely a year after the trip to langkawi, we all had another trip to penang. gosh that was fun. tiring. but fun. went by train on tuesday night. yes, by train. i know i said i wouldnt but i did. dunno why though. i guess i thought that i would've gotten used to the bright flourescent lights and the swaying from side to side. i thought wrong. didnt sleep the whole night. except maybe for about ten minutes. got to penang eight hours later looking like a raccoon. it wasnt even subuh yet. so we wandered arouond, me, fahan, una, faiz and fana. then after prayers we went and got on the ferry to get to the island. saw the sunrise. breathtaking.

people were busy getting to work. we were busy being awestruck by just about everything. the dock, the ferry, the sea, the sunrise. when we got to the island, we had breakfast and after that we got cracking. first up, komtar. we were still lugging around our bags n stuff coz we couldnt find anywhere suitable to put them. so in the end we had to be contented with leaving them with this dude who runs this luggage-keeping business. not the best idea, but i'd rather not lug the gigantamous backpack around. from komtar we went to ayer hitam. we wanted to go up penang hill formerly known as bukit bendera. we waited for ages and ages for a bus. we even went hiking up the kek lok si temple while we waited. fana was awestruck. even bought a pair of samurai swords. i was tired and stinky by the time we reached the top.

after that, we finally managed to get to bukit bendera. went up the cable car. the coaches were filled with people. the ride up the hill was horrid. we had to stand and the carriage was just filled with people that it was almost sickening. but then when we reached the top, everything seemed worth it. the view overlooking the island was awesome. the air was cleaner too. no trafic congestion or things like that. everything was so peaceful. the only thing i didnt like was the fact that butteflies were every-effin-where. i do wonder where they all came from. they kept following me too. cynical little creatures.

after spending some time there, we went back down and had lunch. then we all went shopping at komtar. nothing much though. and then we took the ferry back to mainland and waited around for a bus so we could get to fahan's gran's place. the bus ride to fahan's gran's place was nothing short of adventurous. its like going on them roller coasters, minus the safety harnesses. it was scary yet exciting. completely unsafe though. but we all got out alive. thats what matters.

after the scary bus ride we arrived at the kampung. and it was a proper kampung too. with sawah and everything. it was dark coz it was night by then. and we had to go past a cemetery. and we found out later that faiz saw this white light coming from the place. i didnt see jack. probably coz i was trying my best not to look at the place.

and so ends the first day. will put the pictures up later. the second part will be put up later as well. best be off now. no arsenal update. they're doing alright. too sleepy to get into details. will do later though.

nyt boys and gurls. stay outta trouble. adios y hasta luego.

halloooo.....

feels weird to type. buihihi (my new laugh). an update finally!! yay!! sorry to those who got tired of checking up every so often just so you could read my rants. its just that i've been really really lazy lately (heheh, bet you thought i was gonna say busy). anyways, how've you been?? to those who've finally finished their midterm exams, congratulations for surviving the 2nd toughest period of the semester. i still have the 2nd fluid test next saturday. so no ronggeng-ing for me. yet.

lets see. loads have happened since the last rant. obviously. i mean, a whole month went by. buihihi. for those of you who've been reading una's blog, yes, i went berjoget yesterday. and no, i'm not about to embarrass myself by telling you people the exact details of what went on during the whole berjoget session. what i can tell you is that i had about 1 day of berjoget practice before i had to betul2 berjoget in front of about 100 ppl. heres a pic from the berjoget session.

oh yeah, i had a total blast. if you completely disregard the bit at the end where i had to wait outside the gate of college hafaf at 3 in the morning for more than 40 minutes so that the pak guard would come and unlock the bloody gate for us. and the bit after that where i had to sleep without kipas coz there was some stuff being done at the sungai pusu's tnb cawangan. still, i cant complain much. it was a good experience. opportunities like these dont come round often. and when else would iiu be engulfed in complete darkness save for the light from the moon. it was breath taking. me and yan and runiz and aishah literally lied down on the street looking up at the stars. the sky was so clear last night. not a cloud in sight. pretty. oh yeah, since when is it common knowledge that the 1st ever catholic church built in malaysia is the St Paul's.

last weekend was fun too. went back to melaka to join the petronas ngv family day thingamabob. visited uwan (bless her heart) who hasnt been feeling well lately. then stayed at this kawaii apartment in ayer keroh where we had the family day. it wasnt really a family day. it was more like a family afternoon. but still. it was truck loadsa fun. when else do i get to see my dad engage in a child to child communication type thing. came in third in two events. one was carrying marbles with chopsticks (a difficult game which requires wit and dexterity) and egg throwing (no wit or dexterity involved, just fear of having egg splattered all over your face). that night we had the first pngv annual dinner. it was nice. karaoke sessions and witty banter all round. plus, that's when the 6 of us collected the 10 sets of condiment container thingies. yep, that's what we got for coming 3rd in 2 events. the morning after i woke up with a pair of really sore quads after my pathetic attempt at walking the length of a volleyball court without touching the ground and with 3 bricks as tools (??). had breakfast and then took part in a few rounds of volleyball matches. i teamed up with some of my dad's colleagues and staff (all over the age of 30 i reckon) and dude went in the opposite team, teaming up with a lot of really old people. that was quite an experience. never thought i could get my arse kicked by a bunch of old geezers. but that's life for you.

hmm. what else did i do?? oh yeah! i went to genting with my roomates yan, kak ima and kak iza plus kak ayu, who could be considered my roomate since she hangs out at our room most of the time. that was really really fun (i've ran out of adjectives to describe fun). it coulda been way more fun if it werent raining and half the cool rides werent closed. but it was all good. i enjoyed the trip.

arsenal-wise, things arent looking so good. lost the fa cup draw with bolton, and the premiership match against liverpool last week. got real madrid next week. *shudder*. its ok. i have faith. we WILL win something this season. and that something will be the CHAMPIONS LEAGUE (applause). and we WILL qualify for europe next season. theres no doubt about that.

i think thats it for now. i've gots to go y'all. tomorrow have to wake up early to go back to uni. so take care boys n girls. adios y hasta luego.

khairun 'geographically challenged' baharuddin

buenos dias!!

how've you been? good i hope (wahahaha! skema siot). first thing's first. havent had the chance to say this yet, so, HAPPY NEW YEAR!! hope all of you will have the best year ever and that god will keep you all out of harm's way.i havent made any new year's resolutions this year. its pointless. i know i'll break them within a week anyway, being the ever-so-determined person that i am. hahaha. besides, i reckon you shouldnt just make resolutions when new year comes. make them any time you like. right??

and one more wish. SELAMAT HARI RAYA AIDIL ADHA!!! its a bit pointless to tell you all to eat moderately coz i definitely didnt. hahaha. talk about gluttony. which makes me wonder whether eating glutinous rice makes me even more of a glutton. is that the right word? ah well, you know what i mean.

i was just thinking the other day how much useless info my brain can retain. its silly that i can remember the middle names and birthdays of the arsenal first team and not the really important formulas for fluid mechanics. i try and try to forget that karl fredrik ljungberg was born on 16th of april 1977. but it doesnt work. so i guess i'll just have to live with that fact.

speaking of arsenal. hahaha. i missed a whole lot of matches. the one i'm really upset about missing is the home game against united. managed a draw against them. cant complain really considering they're 2nd and we're not. apparently those who were lucky enough to have watched it thought it was a good match. but every cloud has a silver lining. i watched the arsenal match triumph against middlesbrough (again, skema giler ayat). sangat hebat!!! i didnt see the beginning due to foreseen circumstances (which is ayah taking the mickey and not letting me watch). by the time i tuned in it was about 3 minutes till half time and arsenal were 4-0 up! i was like, biar betul, but the scoreboard never lies. bwahahaha!! serves u right boro for beating us 2-1 in september. padan muka. although no one reading this would care so much since i doubt that any of them are boro fans so the gloating privileges cant be used to full effects.

anyways, after halftime i got a bit sleepy so i decided to just watch the replay some other time until dude came in and said 'dude, its 5-0'. so i went back downstairs and watched the rest of the match with henry back to his full capabilities and scoring a hat trick. all hail king henry! seriously though, i didnt think boro took us seriously enough. their defence was rubbish i think. they knew henry never miss chances so why did they leave all that space for him to run around. that is a question that would be left unanswered. so seven-nil is the final score, and that whinger cattermole goes home crying after 20 mins of whinging. (okay, i made that crying part up but the rest is true).

elsewhere, united were thrashed by city. hahaha. you have to feel sorry for them. gloating rights for city fans fully deserved considering united are 2nd and city are not. kinda makes me feel inferior considering we're higher than city but only managed a draw with united. but that, ladies and gents, is the power of underestimation and the beauty of football. watch enough and you'll see pleasant surprises.

back to the non-footballing world. i dont get why some people (particularly older people), cant take other people's opinions. i mean, you have your opinion, i'm entitled to mine, i so dont have to agree with you. you voiced yours out and i voiced out mine, thats it la. why must people who cant take other people's opinions shove their opinions down other people with different opinions's throats. your opinion doesnt have to be right. huargh!! sangat frustrating. if you didnt catch that the first time, try reading it again. hahaha. points go out to those who can tell me how many times i mentioned the word opinion, including that last one, in this paragraph. hahaha. no prizes though. sorry.

next week is the mid-sem break. ooohh!! lotsa plans in store. we plan to go to genting on the monday but whether i go not entirely depends on dear father who seems to be enjoying taking the mick out of me more and more recently. therefore, i have made a foolproof plan! behold!! plan X!! this plan involves me and my comfy bed at home, the tv i'm sorely missing and the internet, for downloading anime pleasure. safety features include the 'no going out = no outside injury' theory whereby if you dont go out, chances are you wouldnt get involved in a car accident. although household accidents should be taken into considerations, the chances of that happening are greatly reduced if i dont leave my bed, which is why this plan is so foolproof (its was proven by a fool). whats more is that i can finally catch up on the 56 hours of sleep i missed during the past 7 weeks. bwahahaha!!

so i think thats it for now. got thermo at 2 dis afternoon (20 mins away at the time of writing). i have physically prepared for the lecture by not eating lunch, so that the hunger would keep me awake during class. its hilarious how much my classmates' energy level change during the point of entering the class, where energy level is at its peak (noisy kids) to the middle of the class where energy level is at its lowest (kids dozing off and tersengguk). bwahahaha. thats how i live through thermo lectures, by looking at other people dozing off.

right then, now i'm really gonna go. updates later (3 weeks from now is still later). stay outta trouble lads and lasses. adios y hasta luego.

Are they already met with.
Replied jerome overholt family dinner night chuck. Chad who are too busy.

good morning!!

i'm updating my blog (shocker!) on a wednesday morning (even more of a shocker!!). what's the world coming to?? hahaha. in case you're wondering why i'm updating my blog merely 5 days after my last post, i'll tell you why. its not a mid-life crisis. i just dont have anything better to do. woke up at 7.30 this morning thinking i got fluid mechanics lab at 8.30. got to the lab on time, saw a few people hanging about outside so i hung about outside too (sheep). i hung and i hung and i hung until about 9 when someone came up to us and said that the lab instructor's whereabouts couldnt be traced (wtf??). therefore, lab is cancelled (wtf??) and we'd have to do it next week (wtf??) when we're really supposed to be having tutorial next week (wtf??). huargh!!! bosan siot!

ah yes, typical blog usage as a channel to vent out all dissatisfaction. oh, i can write proper english sentences in case some people are wondering. hahaha. its just that i choose not to. its too much of a hassle. especially if the keyboard i'm using is like the one i'm using now. keyboards in the lab are so rigid. its like i have to put in twice as much effort to type something in this lab, then i would normally. get what i mean? hahaha. ntahpapentah.

hmm. usually there'd be a paragraph about football in every post. wondering whether i should write something now. as most of you know (if not all), arsenal lost. i'm in a period of mourning. but i havent lost faith. the gunners will once again be untouchable and everything will turn out fine. to those who no longer believe that arsenal will reign supreme, cast away your doubts. although texting redza, someone who doesnt watch football during the arsenal chelsea match kind of opened my eyes to other people's views of arsenal. in any case, they're all wrong. hahaha. its funny though how i was convinced arsenal could still win that match when we're 2 nil down with ten minutes to go. actually its not that funny. rather sad come to think of it. okay now i'm depressed. the carling cup match btwn arsenal and doncaster is tonight. pushovers i guess. but i wont count my chickens until they've hatched. you know, just in case i feel like having scrambled eggs or something.

right then. i'll be off now. need the loo (completely useless information to all of you). class starts in 15 mins. stay outta trouble boys and gurls. adios and hasta luego.

hello all!!!

lame tak tulis2 here. bwahahaha (massive understatement). wat with duduk2 n tgk2 tv n surfing da net n all, i dun seem to find da tym to blog. hahaha. wat a loada bull. i looked at da posts n wen they were written. it seems lyk there is a marked decrease in da number of posts per month. if i plot da graph of number of posts versus month, i will get a linear graph which fits da equation y=-x+8.

ah yes, as is apparent from my ongoing rant abt bloody posts per month, uni had inevitably started. been going great so far. relaxed, not much hassle or brain usage. except for linear algebra n vector calculus (i think dats da course title). 1st day pun dah start blaja. i dun mind it coz matrix seems to be kinda cool. but soaking in knowledge at 8.30 in da morning afta a long period of not soaking anything at all is like a piece of metal sponge scourer thing trying to soak up water. it wouldnt. u get my point.

on the other hand, its cool meeting up wiv every1 again. yan is as perky as eva wiv her rather disturbing infatuation wiv mawi, fana all bz wiv her bro's wedding 2molo n using da fact dat she left her bedsheet at home as an excuse to not stay in uni (lucky gal, my mum wont have ne of dat. da nyt i had to come back to uni after da cuti, i found out i left my locker key kat rumah n i was lyk 'damn u, u no good memory!!!' so since i put my bantal in da locker, i used my bag full of baju as a bantal thinking 'hebatnye me to think up sumthing as ingenious as using bag full of baju as a bantal'. but in the end i tak pakai pun coz all da baju packed into da bag made it keras. so next morning i decided to go thru my bag and behold!! wat do u no, my locker key. ah yes, da epitome of forgetfullness. i was thinking 'horridnye me cari 80 kali pun still boleh tak jumpe'. actually, i was juz glad dat i didnt have to wear slipper jamban to go to class, coz my kasut pun in da locker juge). where was i before i opened da brackets? oh yea, cool to see people again.

it was, howeva, very uncool to terserempak wiv my ungs 2040 lecturer during breakfast at deen melawati a day afta i found out about my results. i dun think he recognised me. but still, couldnt enjoy my breakfast knowing he was less than 5 yards away from me.

nehow, football. arsenal drew wiv real bloody madrid (sheesh, who in their right mind would call themselves the meringues, da bunch of pansies) for da nxt round of champs league. bugger. as if doing badly in da league wasnt bad enuff. speaking of da league, dis weekend, da ultimate showdown btwn london's giants, arsenal will take on chelsea at da famous highbury stadium where da gunners will go on to beat chelsea to a pulp, subsequently leading to da sacking of jose mourinho and da signing of 10 year contract of henry, wenger n john terry, who realised dat chelsea are a buncha poofs.

seems like my love affair wiv naruto wasnt shortlived as i had previously predicted. to add spice to da relationship, i met kurosaki ichigo, a shinigami wiv bright orange hair. he's 15 tho. does dat make me a paedophile?? i mean, he's physically an adult, i mean, well toned abs as a result of severe training. owh n his zanpakuto, zangetsu, is really macho too.

i think dats enuff fer now. pray thee dat i wont be too lazy to update my blog. coz my graph of number of posts versus months needs to be inverted. blargh!! bloody 4 by 4 inverted matrix quiz thingamabob.

nehow, dats outta my system. which juz so happens to be an open system (control volume) where there are fluids dat follow da navier stokes equation n landing gears are great. i best be off now. stay outta trouble gurls n boys. adios n hasta luego. bwahahaha.

khairun 'a few millilitres short of a full 1.5 litre coke bottle' baharuddin

konichiwa!!!!

i wrote lyk 5 paragraphs last nyt. tapi then my sis had to use da laptop to do her thesis on bacteria or sumthin so then i didnt save. pandai kan??? neway, before i 4get, SLAMAT HARI RAYE!!! MAAF ZAHIR N BATIN!!! tau la dah 2 minggu raye. dats y we raye sebulan. juz in case ppl lyk me who are malas nak update blog, wait sampai its almost habis raye baru nak update blog n wish ppl slamat hari raye. hmm. faham tak dat sentence??

so raye went brilliantly. i mean, wen else cud u stuff ur face wiv rendang n ketupat n lemang n kuih raye n not have ne1 tell u to stop?? n dis year, my big sis invited her mauritian friend najla to raye wiv us. she's 20 n doing food tech at upm. becoz upm punye exams not finished yet, she cant go back to celebrate raye in mauritius. tough gurl. i dun think i'd be able to face da fact dat i cant raye wiv my family. sedeynye!!!

went back to melaka on diwali. so da day before raye was spent cooking n stuff. i had da godawful task of mengacau rendang. trust me, its not sumthing u wana do wen u're puasa. oh da temptation!!! n then there was dis whole argument about nak isi ketupat sampai mane. mum sed a bit more than half. but then ayah sed a third. my wan was bz so we didnt ask her. in the end we isi da ketupat until its a third full. dunno wat happened to it. didnt eat ketupat mase raye. makan nasi impit je. hahahaha. but apparently its kinda lembik. i guess mum was right then.

raye day. woke up. fought for da bathroom. eat rendang. felt weird coz not used to makan at 8 in da morning. went for semayang raye. giler ramai orang. balik. makan a bit more. got ready for da salam session n photography session. felt teary-eyed fer najla who was talking on da fon to her mum in mauritius lyk in french n really fast. cant make out a word she sed. makan lagi. watch tv. decided dat its cerite ntahapentah n ate sumo. then went to atok n nenek sedare's houses. had to ride wiv ayah coz mum drove d other car. had a pointless argument about y da car in front is so freaking slow.

pasang doves cd only fer it 2 be switched off after a few songs coz according to ayah, it was 'bising'. had to listen to nurul's (my younger sis) mixed cd. made faces coz da songs r boring but no1 noticed coz ayah was driving n nurul was at da back. went to a few houses. ate sumo. najla asked y is it dat all da houses we go to, we eat. had to explain dat raye in malaysia mmg like dat. afta finish going to all da houses dat we were s'pose 2, headed back to melaka. used da highway. bad idea. giler banyak cars. both ways. stopped at a rest stop. still ramai orang. got back on da highway, saw a car got turned in an accident. thank god it wasnt fatal. wanted to sleep but kesian kat ayah bawak car sorang2. sampai rumah, ate n slept. healthy aint it?

2nd day raye, headed home. not as many cars. ayah wanted to leave early so dat he'll sempat catch da friday prayers at da masjid behind my house. mum led da way. ayah followed. it was funny. if i were mum, i'd be stressed out. went straight to rumah atok. lotsa ppl there. atok's daughters n their families mainly. salam atok n nenek, ate n be merry. ah yes, happy days!! kesimpulannya, raye is better than ne other holiday in da whole wide world.

a few days later, da cuti mode kicked in. u no, still awake at ungodly hours, sleep until its noon. wake up fer a few hours n then sleep again sampai u feel sick. its great. hahahaha. n during dis cuti, i managed to finish watching naruto. yay! not really finish tho. coz da series tak habis lagi. its more lyk i managed to catch up wiv da series la kot. hahahaha. hebat kan? its now episode 160. downloaded it but havent watched yet. seen da rest. except for episode 139. da gambar tak elok so i had to skip an episode.

neways. dats it fer now. on da footballing front, da 32 teams for da world cup. lemme see. from asia there r iran, s.korea, japan n 1 more i cant remember but its definitely not malaysia la. haha. sum countries from africa including dis country called togo (??) well done to them. lotsa countries from europe qualified. australia qualified. switzerland qualified (yay!). united states, brazil n sum other countries qualified. arsenal will be represented by kolo toure, phillipe senderos, sol campbell, ashley cole, thierry henry...basically da whole 1st team la kot. hahahaha.

okie then, now i'm really done. nyt y'all. eat lots, drink plenty n be merry. peace out. adios n hasta luego.

good day and a massive hello to every1!!!!

most of u who's reading dis most likely dah finish wiv da bane of ur existences which are da finals so i'd like to wish u all a very happy n festive holiday!!!! u deserve it. especially those who had to go thru calculus 2 n electronix. *shudder*. i feel sick juz thinking about my results. but dats all in da past. i'm in holiday mode now. woohoo!!! sleep eat n be merry. but eat at nyt only la.

which brings me to da nxt point (i dun really no wot my 1st point was but saying 'which brings me to my 1st point' kinda sounds silly but it might juz work). alrite! scrap wot i juz sed. which brings me 2 my 1st point. nxt week raye oledi. sgt hebat. tak rase lame pun puase. like before if puase i'd be lyk 'bile nak raye'. but dis year not lyk dat pun. n da excitement pun different. y agaknye? ne suggestions y? hmm...mystery la.

so rite now i'm at home n spending my days watching naruto. no cartoon series have been able 2 move me quite as much as naruto. i laugh, i cry, i curse and i get anxious along wiv them. sounds odd? dont judge me until u've watched it urself. ahaha. ppl say watching cartoons is bad fer u but i dun think so. not wen its naruto neway. it teaches u stuff. japanese mainly. i now know how to say 'why me', 'perverted hermit', and sum other phrases, mainly ending wiv 'dattebayo!!!'. ahaha. fer those who havent seen, please, i beg of u, go see! i have all da episodes if u wana boro. ahaha.

i guess watching it got side fx kot. its like i cant tell da difference between reality and made up world nemore. i often find myself doing seals wiv my hands n trying 2 concentrate chakra on my palm n doing da rasengan n getting highly frustrated wen it doesnt work. oh, n 1 more thing, is it normal to fall in love wiv a cartoon character at my age? i mean, kalau kecik2 dulu suke kat all da princes in da disney films understandable la kan, but i fancy kakashi sensei sooo much. ahaha. i wonder if theres a guy who looks like him.

animes aside, lets get to da serious stuff. football. as much as i hate looking at da midtable section 2 find arsenal's position, it juz proves wot a beautiful game football is. u might be on top 1 season and nowhere da nxt. altho all da stick da press is giving arsenal is getting too much. its not really dat fair. all d injuries n da financial instability. dun write us off. its only october. i have faith. ahaha.

nehow, dats it fer now. juz pray dat i wont be too lazy to update dis blog. take care boys n gurls. adios n hasta luego.

g'day ladies n gents

long tym no blog (wot else is nu?) its nad's b'day 2day so here's a massive shoutout 2 nad-chan. happy 20th! god bless u m'dear.

lemme see, since da last tym i wrote, i have managed 2 do a number of stupid things. 2 in particular came 2 mind (only bcoz they're da most recent). numero uno happened in la trabaja tienda (direct and oh so incorrect translation of workshop). u'd expect to get injured there so by right u shud be more careful. but not me. nosirree. i was looking at da turning punye chips, u no, da pretty springy silvery ones dat look lyk tinsel (christmas came early!!). i was so mesmerised by these things dat i decided to take one and try n straighten it out. wen dat was done, i went n picked up anotha one. and anotha, and anotha. until pade suatu ketike dimane da pretty turning chipping thing decided 2 take revenge on da way its brothers n sisters got straightened out and it cut my thumb. so it bled (my thumb). n it bled a lot tapi i takot nak mintak plaster kat pakcik tuh. dah la permanent pms (kan alan kan? mengalahkan gurls). which reminds me, i got told off last nyt by dat pakcik coz i was on da fon. i mean, i completely understand if it were during class tym ke, tapi dis was during ot. besides, it was my mum calling, takkan i nak biar je. haiyo! me n alan came to da conclusion dat he's deprived of fon calls. or deprived of sumthing la. otherwise he wont turn out 2 be so bitter lyk dat.

nehow, numero dos happened yesterday. i wanted 2 kejar da lift. its lyk 'yang dikejar tak dapat, yang dibawa berciciran' or sumthin 2 dat effect (my bm is deteriorating). da lift oso didnt stop, and i managed to bang my knee against da wall. sakit maa. now its all bruised. takpe la. bruises will only make u stronger kan?

moving on. workshop is fast becoming a pain in da bum. i mean, serves me right la kot 4 putting things off till so late but who could blame me? kalau da stuff we do r interesting mesti i'd be rearing 2 do it. actually dats not true. haha. imagine if da technician or demo looked lyk freddie ljungberg, mesti i wana ot hari2. haha. gatal siot! so now all da workpieces have 2 be handed in within a real short amount of time. so sangat lah kelam kabut. tapi takpe. i work best under pressure. its all good. haha. yeah rite. if u see me crying my eyes or tearing my hair out, dont bother asking y la. coz it'll be bcoz of workshop.

good news! 2molo start puase. yay! me likey puase. coz afta puase its raye. n raye's a whole lotta fun. but it was kinda sedih coz i missed da penyimpan cop mohor raje2 or sumthin punye announcement. dat has to be da best. nvm, terpakse la tunggu raye nanti. god bless all of ur puase n ibadah during da coming month k!

on a slightly alarming note, at abt 4am last nyt da floor above mine ade kebakaran. cant be serious tho. i didnt know abt it until i bangun dis morning. which shows how tido mati i am or how faulty da alarm system in my block is. either way, had it been a great big fire, i'd probably die of smoke inhalation or mmg rentung terbakar la. oh yeah, me n da rest of da ppl in my block. so dis morning i saw sum ppl investigating (whoooo r u? who who who who (dat was da csi opening theme btw)). i reckon it was da work of an arson. not me tho. i'm a certified pyrophile but i'm not a pyromaniac. fire burns la. sum ppl mustve missed dat.

neways, gtg. stay outta trouble. especially if da trouble involves fire. adios y hasta luego.

waddup peeps!!

howz every1 doing? good i hope. i know la, long time no blog. neva been really good at keeping journals. online or otherwise. figures its much easier 2 juz remember stuff. but then again, my memorizing skill isnt my strongest point so dats dat.

lemme see...its been hard to get in da groove dis past few weeks. da cuti hari tu was until wednesday of last week so i only went to class on thursday. even then there was no lab so i only really went to workshop dat thursday aftanoon. so everything was dandy. no stress. even workshop da weekly stress initiator pun didnt give me ne hassle. it was metal forming. we made cones outta sheets of metals!! haha. dat nyt i had management exam. hrmph. dat was a real pain in my backside. but didnt think too much of it coz if i did, mesti i'll end up in a loony bin. lets juz say i'm not cut out for dis management stuff. the only thing i'd be happy to manage is my fantasy football team. which i havent even chosen yet. haiyo. busynye.

nehow, went home on friday coz i had management group discussion. came back on sunday morning 2 do a bit of management but went home at abt noon coz there was no water (stupid truck spill all those precious palm oil in2 our water supply). its times like those dat i thank god i only live lyk 10 mins away from uni. i feel so sorry for those yang stay jauh2. i mean, water is a necessity. i wouldnt mind if i lived on da ground floor ke, but imagine ppl lyk nita who lives on da 5th floor nak angkut all those buckets o water. so dat aftanoon red sent me home n i managed to convince my mum 2 let me commute till water is back on. then on monday morning went 2 uni 4 classes. couldnt concentrate coz it was darn hot coz da air conditioning wasnt working. but during maths i heard da most wonerful news. classes were gona be cancelled starting 1 o'clock dat day till wednesday. so dat was fun.

so ape lagi, ronggeng la on tuesday. had a rombongan 2 midvalley. there were me, una, nad, faiz, fellow aerospace engineer fana, wani and pimp daddy naeem. hahaha. went to see creep. please stay away from dat movie. i mean, da whole purpose of a scary movie is to scare ppl rite? well, if dat was da objective of dis movie, it failed miserably. okla, maybe it scared wani so it wasnt a total loss. da starting pun kitorang dah gelak, altho dat wasnt really da director's fault. how is 'creep' translated to 'si pengampu'?? salah gile. conclusion die? jgn tgk, unless of course u're looking 2 have a good laugh.

onto more important matters. football. as always, u no likey, u skip2 la. yeah alrite, arsenal havent been doing well. i can admit dat. but its early days and we have a game in hand. and alan, i dun think ur theory of 'maen 5 kalah 2 therefore maen 10 kalah 4' is correct. hahaha. wot kinda assumption is dat. n d only reason ur laughing is bcoz united r ahead but it wont be for long. u enjoy ur moment near da top now la. itll be our turn soon enuff. u juz wait. da boro game was annoying tho. i was watching happily da 1st half where arsenal created loadsa chances. reyes was all over. it was a nytmare 2 be a defender marking reyes. so i was happy. then came 1 o'clock da damn astro sed 'services currently not available'. u cud imagine my wrath. thank god red was kind enuff 2 watch 4 me. near half tym, red txt me n sed 'arsenal scored'. n i was ecstatic even if i didnt see da goal. but then barely a minute later red txt me again n he was lyk 'sorry, boro scored. i woulda tot dey'd be wearing red'. lol. cute je. as heart breaking as dat was, it coulda been worse. i mean, redza 'kaki f1' imran watching football? i s'pose u cant really blame him 4 not knowing dat boro was da home team n are therefore wearing red.

so da champs league match ended on a better note. it was against fc 'who?' thun so i juz knew it was gona be a game we'd win (much lyk how i was confident dat boro were pushovers). apparently reyes left it till da last minute to get da 3 points n robin 'not a rapist' van persie was red carded. ah well. board of directors wana appeal against it. n dennis 'non-flying dutchman' bergkamp might juz travel 2 amsterdam 2 play ajax in da nxt champs league match. dunno how he'll go tho. eurostar maybe??

alrite then. dats it 4 now. i gots 2 get goin. c y'all laterz. ciao cincau. (omg dats lame). stay outta trouble. adios n hasta luego.

hiya!

long time no blog eh? been lazy la (wot else is new?). b4 i go on ne further, SELAMAT HARI MERDEKA to semue rakyat Malaysia. aren't we blessed to be living in such a great country. u look in da nuz these days n see disasters everywer (katrina hurricane n dat stampede in iraq por ejemplo) n yet we're all safe n sound. makes u think twice abt complaining huh? i wont start goin on abt da meaning of merdeka now coz u can all go to alan's website for dat. he's got a very menginsafkan post. my atok cerite dat he went n picked up tunku abdul rahman from melaka b4 da ceremony, n he was actually there wen tunku abdul rahman laungkan MERDEKA 7 times. how cool is dat. cant imagine how they all must feel at dat moment. wen i hear it now, i feel immensely proud. but those ppl must've felt an extreme sense of relief and euphoria.

moving on. its cuti now. 3 days cuti but its still cuti nonetheless. nasib baik i started my cuti on friday which means, counting da weekend, i get lyk 6 day's cuti. cant really enjoy it tho. got management exam da day i come back. haiyo. kene bace sangat banyak. okayla, tak la banyak sangat, but banyak la jugak. neways, plan 2 go on a picnic sumtym during da cuti but my ayah macam tak berape nak bagi. haiyo. perhaps if we have a picnic sumwer closer he wont mind so much.

its internationals dis week. doesnt interest me much so, i wont be ranting abt football. oh yeah, mase merdeka tuh i juz sat n watched fireworks on telly. they're so pretty. i LOVE fireworks. okay, i think i should stop now. coz wen u start ranting about fireworks, then u no u've ran outta things to talk abt. so stay outta trouble lads n lasses. adios n hasta luego.

morning y'all!!!

i cant believe i missed justice league sbb tgk dat britney n kevin reality show. haiyo. salah giler. n it wasnt even becoz my sisters wana watch it. i was on my own flicking thru da channels waiting 4 justice league to come on after da iklan, then, 'hmm, dis looks interesting'. so i watched britney go round asking ppl 'how do u feel abt marriage n commitment?' n completely 4got abt justice league. now i feel guilty. i have betrayed da sacred trust dat da comic industry put in me. i should be shot. ok maybe not shot la. i should face dire consequences.

so last nyt i went and did da da vinci code web quest thing. managed to finish it but i had help. big thank u to kma. i needed sumthin from da book n kma has it so i txt her at lyk 1 or 2 in da morning (yes, i am a freak!) n she layan me, even if i were a bit psychotic. muchas gracias. mesti i couldnt do it without u.

ptg ni got khemah ibadah. ahaha (tak tau kenape gelak). starts at 5.30 so probly balik uni afta asar ke. yep, useless bit of info. tak payah tau pun takpe. haha.

ahahahah!!!!

arsenal won last nyt. oh yeah, fer those of u yang taknak read abt football, skip did paragraph. we practically mauled fulham. didnt watch tho, i was at uni. final score was 4-1 to the arsenal wiv henry n cygan(??) both scoring 2 each. guess its a good scoreline considering sunday's match (against dem stupid twats dat are chelsea). i mean, chelsea's win couldnt be justified as anything else apart from dumb luck. even mourinho sed so. very frustrating. kinda made me regret da fact dat i chose to balik on monday juz becoz of football. kinda. on the plus side, dat match on sunday really showed how good hleb is. he doesnt mind getting stuck in and he's juz a great team player. i voted him man of the match. but drogba won dat title. undeservedly, da prick (arr marah nih (alan style) !) i mean, juz becoz u score a goal doesnt make u entitled to man of da match. annoying giler.

neways, got da football outta my system. contrary 2 popular beliefs, i do have other things 2 do besides blogging (anis n red!). even if da other things are doing homework or reading. so kalau lambat update tunggu je la ye. ahaha. besides, i dun balik rumah everyday last weekend was kinda bz la kot. mum n ayah went 2 perak 4 ayah's old boys' reunion. saw da pix. made me proud a bit. ayah was darn good looking compared to da others there. all da other pakciks were kinda balding n rather outta shape. those who werent balding were greying. mum sed all da wives sat 2getha whilst da old boys caught up wiv each other. one of da wives was kaed punye dean. small world eh?

mum and ayah's weekend getaway had absolutely zilch to do wiv y i was bz. went to kuantan on saturday ikot atok n nenek pegi wedding. seronok je. we went by da old jalan so it took ages n ages especially wiv nenek there nagging atok all da tym '70 je la had laju die tok' and 'atok ni suke bawak laju2' while in actual truth my atok was only doing lyk 80. nenek sed she wanted to buy an anak kambing. kelaka je. she sed on da way back nak stop kat mane2 so she can buy 1 and it can sit wiv her upfront. n atok was lyk 'ye la, nanti tido pun bawak masuk kelambu'. nasib baik she completely 4got all abt it on da way back. cant imagine riding in a car wiv anak kambing.

so da trip 2 kuantan took up most of my saturday. i tot bile balik tu atok was gonna send me straight home tapi balik rumah nenek instead. dah la takde baju. so i had 2 wear nenek's kain batik n atok's tshirt. klaka gile. then rumah nenek takde astro so dok tgk citer bujang lapok dat nyt. went off to sleep at abt 11 sumthin kot (fuyoo awal!!). nasib baik i brought along the da vinci code. which brings me to da nxt reason y i was bz. sgt best buku tu. havent read a good book lyk dat since ages la. page turner. so sesiape yg belum bace, anda dinasihatkan membace buku tersebut. on sunday i juz lazed abt finishing up on dat book. and dats da reason y i didnt update my blog.

dis whole week sgt lepak. i mean, afta dat disaster of an exam dat was calculus, i juz wanted to chill out. so da conclusion kat sini is ur resident pyro has not learned from past experience ladies n gents. lagi mau duduk2 tgk movie n baring2 bace buku yang completely tak related wiv nething i'm studying. altho most of da tym i baring2 i was, in actual truth, thinking abt nak amik major ape. haiyo. berbelah bahagi jugak. methinks aerospace kot, altho red's telling me to think twice abt dat. i dun care la, nak jugak. kakak 4th year in my management class tuh amik aero n she seems 2 be doin great. ok la kot. 1 thing fer sure is dat i wont be taking mechatronics. *shudder* cant face nemore electronix den is necessary la.

neways, dats it fer now. cya round kids. stay outta trouble. adios n hasta luego.
