yup. darn.

the moment you find out that your kid
will grow up into an apple product-
starbucks drinking-hipster wannabe.

don't want you thinking my love's in vain.

couldn't quite remember the last time an artist
hit me like a tonne of bricks like kehlani.

her music is just plain awesome, and here's
another lyrical posto off the fantastic
'escape' from my newest musical obsession.

a couple of things differently.

just learnt a dear friend was involved in a rather
serious car accident earlier this week. he and
the other party are ok now, alhamdulillah.

we had a bit of a talk about it, and the thing is,
just a couple of seconds later, or a couple of feet
in the other direction, things would've been much worse.

...fine margins, this life of ours.

the point is, it's a timely reminder that for us,
in our everyday, take care of our amal, and do as
much good to others, as much as we can.

hopefully these small things can help us later on.

"Watermelon"

- a piece of fruit, that for some weird reason
is put on pizzas, eaten by asian people. the
rest of the world calls it 'pineapple' instead.

kids again. hmmmph.

"House M.D."

- a show about a psychopath,
with a man and a woman in front,
investigating about stuff.

kids nowadays. dissapointing.

yeah. so much for dat.

i made a mental note to myself
before i went to carrefour earlier today;

"...just buy necessities, since there's plenty
of food stock at home, plus the fact that
i'll be going back home in february..."

this was me the second i reached carrefour;

yup. my lack of self-control can be legendary.

wisdom of the day.

off his final public speech;

"...i am asking you to believe.
not in MY ability to bring about change,
but in YOURS..."

- barack obama. he & michelle will be missed.

nampok sangat kitorang ni bukan golongan elit ok.

how to end conversations.

let's face it, there are plenty of instances
in our daily lives where we just don't wanna
talk to certain people, usually the judgemental ones.

instead of tagging along and wasting your time,
here are some personal tips on how to end
these unwanted conversations. very quickly.

person A : you spend too much time playing games.
me : it's better than spending too much time being gay.

person B : your detail work is making me look bad.
me : a mirror can make you look bad, let alone my work.

person C : money can't buy happiness, ok.
me : yes it can! i'm richer than you. and i'm happy about it.

yup. evil najmi is back. thankyouverymuchpeople.

love ad of the day.

off the star website today;

a lecturer from uni tun hussein onn posted
the qualities he's looking for in his future wife,
and he didn't mean to offend anyone, but he feels
it was necessary for his potential other half to
understand his job in the academic field.

his list? the woman must have plans to pursue
a PhD programme, be independent, has a great
personality, and must be good in ironing clothes.

dude. ironing. really? ROTFL

wisdom of the day.

morning wisdom from mark twain;

"...if your job is to eat a frog, it's best to do it 
first thing in the morning. and if it is your job to eat 
two frogs, then it's best to eat the bigger one 1st..."

morning wisdom from your buddy najmi;

"...don't eat frogs, eat chicken. and btw, 
if your job is to eat one or two frogs, 
then it's best that you get a better job..."

thankyouverymuch.

small happy point of the day.

my colleague told me earlier today
that he really digs rock music. and
his favourite band is metallica.

as much as i'm happy to hear that
middle-eastern folk also likes rock music,
i'm faaar more happy that he said metallica.

this way, it doesn't make feel THAT old.

concerns of the day.

normally i can be serious when a situation calls for it,
but i couldn't quite believe how serious our conversation
was regarding the impending end of our contracts here.

sometimes i forget for others, they have their spouses /
kids / in-laws / pets / plants / whatever to worry about.
and it really does play a big part in their thinking.

all i think about is whether i'd still find that delicious
prosperity burger from mcdonald's or that cheese mushroom
chicken thingy from kfc once i go home this february.

twenty seventeen.

things i do not want to see anymore in 2017;

1. gals calling themselves / their frens / the products
they're endorsing as "gojes" or "flawless".
usually they're neither.

2. any sort of 'hipster' product. be it donat hipster or
spender hipster or whatever the heck it would be.
actual hipsters are horribly annoying.

3. writing down random and puke-worthy inspirational
quotes, just to find a reason to post your latest selfie.
please oh please do neither.

other than that, happy 2017 everybody!
