kalau tak, huh!

we should always be thankful.
i'm thankful i didn't have torrent back in uni.
god knows i wouldn't have graduated if i did.

please boil my chicken.

this just happened about 15 minutes ago.
a brader went up to the kfc counter and asked;
"...ni ayam ni you masak cane ek?..."

which.part.of.the.term.fried.chicken.you.don't.understand?

face it.

the problem with de-activating your facebook is,
you don't get birthday notifications for your friends.
so you end up thinking it's the 19th instead of the 7th.

true story.

definition of the day

a state of denial is defined as
the thing normal people go through
once they hear the alarm clock on monday morning.

tui tui!


one, two, three.



nice to see despicable me getting the rave it deserves.
always knew the 1st movie was massively under-rated.
i hope ratatouille and the emperor's new groove are next.

transy.

technology is a wonderful thing.
out of all these apps here and there,
i reeeaaally like the translators the most.

you can swear in 7 different languages.

late me.

woke up late on sunday for the 1st time in AGES.
it's a classic sign that my job is getting to me.
nonetheless, it's nice to feel normal again.

down.

it's easier for me to occupy myself with humour
and intrigue than to write about things that
deeply affect and sadden me.

but i'll jot it down. soon. hopefully.
 

be thankful for ps3.

if you see the pre-movie ad from sony,
you'd see how they were the ones who gave us
colour tv's and walkmans and the playstation.

and now they're left with over-priced laptops,
over-rated flat-screen tv's and rather useless
mp3 players and even more useless cellphones.

...how the once mighty have fallen.

ape kate pi bace quran ke.

saw a news report a few days ago
about a group of islamic enforcement agents
going around KL during lunchtime.

the aim? to nab moslems who go have lunch
at public places / not so public places /
horribly covered public stalls.

first of all, nabbing people and fining them
and giving them lotsa khidmat nasihat
will NOT change people, really.

and secondly, instead of going around
dok carik kesalahan oghang len,
how about beramal untuk diri & kuorge instead?

...i'm just saying.

pree tuuu.

sure, everyone has a right to their preferences,
but no offense, i don't quite get along with
that statement i often hear during ramadhan;

"...ade orang ajak bukak pose free ak arini?..."

yikes.

ten? ten thousand?

think about this;

how many times have you,
whenever you offered to help strangers,
are given scared looks instead of gratitude?

this better than that, that better than this.

when you look for interesting people here,
you often come across the same old thing;
mesians are misguidedly obsessed about politics.

...people in this country are boring.
 

carefree.

be careful when you date a girl with lotsa makeup.

owwwhhh. so THAT's how it works.

i just found out the other day that the reason
windows 8 has the tile windows page AND
a normal desktop page is because of ignorance.

since some people dunno how to use the tile page,
they had to cram in a rather redundant desktop page,
so that these ignorants wouldn't be blur and get lost.

and i just learned that in order to cancel apps on the tiles,
you just have to drag the page down and presto!
spent the last few days trying to figure out how to...

...wait. oh dear, i'm one of them.
 

ok fine, go ahead.

one of the sure-fire things
to confirm that we are in the fasting month
in the big, bad, scary city is...

...people actually give way in traffic.

another shift. sigh.

the position of my air-conditioning unit is such,
in order to accommodate my plaster ceiling design,
it was modified to a lower position on the wall.

...but the tubes and pipes weren't.

and this causes that 3-monthly cycle
where i would call my aircond guy.
and he would come over to fix the dripping water.

i don't really have an issue with the water,
and i don't really have an issue with
routinely spending a coupla bucks to fix things.

...i just don't like relocating to the other bedroom.
 

stick to basics please.

the problem with human beings is,
we like to over-complicate things.
and usually unnecessarily so.

take murtabak at param, for example.

all i want is normal murtabak daging,
not murtabak with 3 kinds of minced beef,
plus weird vegetables in order to look fancy.

stick to basics. please.

thumbnail.

injured my thumb yesterday.
not sure how it happened,
certainly can't remember spraining it.

but woke up feeling lotsa pain.
can't move my thumb,
and can't do simple things just because of it.

...i appreciate things much better now.

two. maybe three.

i see two white hairs on me now.
one on the right hand side of my head,
the other one on my newly grown beard.

...actually there's three.

in this world or the next.

1st lyrical posto for this bloggy,

drip.

one of my biggest fear in life
is to live my remaining days
without someone to love and hold.

sure. quote africa.

one of the most useless advice
or reflection point that anyone can offer me
is that boring, selfless adage of;

"...look, i know you have problems,
but think about other people with bigger ones,
like the millions of africans who are starving..."

first of all, i have no interest in compounding
my worries by worrying about bigger problems
of other people who i have no influence over.

and secondly, it doesn't matter whether africans
are starving or moslems are being targeted
or politicians are screwing everybody on earth.

...it doesn't change the fact that i have issues.

it just. doesn't.

click "hell no".

i hate people who attach the automatic
"read receipt" notification to their emails,
informing them the second you read them.

...it reeks insecurity.

cover me.

i judge a book by it's cover.

no really, i literally judge a book by it's cover.
sure, i spend lotsa time in bookshops
scouring through hundreds of books to read.

but in most cases i buy it because of it's cover.

probably not very smart, and i'd hafta rely on
good ol' plain luck that it turns out to be a good book.
worst case, i have nice looking books on my shelf.

i wonder if that applies to my past relationships too.

and your point is?

now, boys and girls,
as a relatively old person,
i often come across this query;

"...do you think you could've achieved more in your life?..."

quite frankly i don't see the point in asking OR answering that.

the point to me, isn't about whether we could've done this
or could've done that, or could've decided this
or could've achieved that in life.

the point is, we are fortunate enough to have not achieved less.

yes you do.

"...what if one day you wake up and all your powers were gone?..."

"...then i'll just hafta make the most out of today..."

- off "turbo". i like.

yup. how about.

i celebrated my birthday 9 days ago.
i had a nice meal. and was with my family.
i'm 34 now.

...how about that.
