innocent jokes of the day.

off "two and a half men";

alan : ok, new dinner conversation. ah, jake, how was school?

jake : i don't think this conversation will make you any happier, dad.

alan : what now?

jake : we had a surpise test today.

alan : and?

jake : i was REALLY surprised.

- jake, being adorably  honest.

jake : there's 2 muffins sitting side by side in a muffin tin in the oven. 

1 muffin says to the other; "...boy, it's hot in here!...", 

and the other 1 says; "...holy crap! a talking muffin!..."

- jake, telling a joke to his uncle charlie.

yup. for some reason i found these to be horribly funny!

...it's probably the 9 week lockdown talking.

blogger site realization of the day.

yup. mildly annoying to a mild ocd person.

as someone with mild OCD, i absolutely hate the fact that the words
don't align nicely on the page whenever you switch the view from
"web version" to "mobile version", and it looks different as well
whenever you view it on a laptop.

paragraphs and words that don't align drives me nuts.

(my) love story of the day.

i've been requested to do my own version
of my own experiences when it comes to
love and relationships. so here it goes;

"once upon a time there was a girl.
first things were great and he felt happy
and content with life and she was normal.

and then she became psychotic.

the end."

there! and you're welcome, btw. LOL

start of the day.

may your 2018 be as dashing as dis smart-looking miaw!

let's see, watched guardians of the galaxy
with mom, saw some firework displays at
midnight, and removed myself from whatsapp
groups i don't want to be a part of.

starting things on my own terms.
it's gonna be a good year ahead, insyaAllah.

happy 2018, everybody! hihi.

wisdom of the day.

how success actually looks like.

how do you measure success?

most people measure it by wealth,
worldly possessions, family, good health,
position and admiration and power.

i have my own thoughts or definition
of how i measure my success, but that's
another story for another day.

but here's something i'd like for us all
to think about and ponder. this is something
i read, and it humbled me and made me smile.

"...my wish is to order food at a 
restaurant without looking at the price.
that's what it means to succeed..."

think about that, everyone.

status profile of the day.

off the wonderful and often bizaare fesbuk;

"...each drops of gas from the sea will be 
extracted to fill my stomach for the better me..."

and they say NOT to worry about the next
generation of our engineers. LOL

definition of the day.

strangely, this seems very relatable. 

updating your cv or resume is the process of writing down
all the stuff you've done in all the places you've worked in,
only to realize you're still a dumbass even after 12 years.

tweet of the day.

off the twitter;

fren : went to utm with big boss,
and most of the time he's busy
answering and receiving calls,
reading and replying e-mails
via his smartphone.

me : i play with my phone all the time too.
but instead of doing important things,
it's just to avoid talking to people around me.

yup. dats mua.

lesson of the day.

it's been a while, but i've gotten round to
revisiting blogs i love to read stories from.

ok, admittedly my main objective was to
hope and see the return of sarina's fun doodles,
but i came across this fantastic piece of learning;

"...to act as a muslim instead of just looking like one..."

true, dat.

fantastic.

diagnosis of the day.

performed a self-diagnosis, and i have
concluded that i have idiotamoronisosis.

it's a condition where i am physically and
literally allergic to idiots and morons.

god knows there's plenty of those around.

label of the day.

this miaw might look old-fashioned.

but that makes him that much more adorable.

 
in this fast-paced and instant world of ours,
i don't see being old-fashioned as an issue.
to me, old-fashioned is being respectful.

old-fashioned is taking the time to build
and nourish and cherish things or people.
old-fashioned is taking the time to read,
or taking the time to write and think.
old-fashioned is about respecting tradition,
and seeing it as a virtue instead of a barrier.
old-fashioned is about looking at the long-term,
rather than instant or short-lived gratification.
old-fashioned is putting in a bit more effort
in order to achieve something meaningful.

old-fashioned is something special that lasts.

so i wouldn't worry when people starts labeling
or thinking of us as being old-fashioned.
matter of fact, to me, it's a compliment.

i'd pick being old-fashioned any day. hihi.

self-wisdom of the day.

off tumblr's words-of-emotion.

i quote;

"...you're not the same person you were
a year ago, a month ago, or a week ago.
you're constantly changing; experiences
don't stop. that's life..."

i disagree.

i am still the same smart, awesome and
funny person i was a year, month, week,
and hell, even a day ago, you know that?

ok fine, maybe now i'm just cuter than before.

i take it back. i agree wholeheartedly now. LOL

opportunity of the day.

i wonder why people don't pay me
to do product reviews on the internet.

i'm pretty good when it comes to
making fun of your competitor's products kan?

no vision whatsoever. hmmmph.

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.

conversation of the day.

whatsapp group conversation of the day;

guy A : kol bape t time arini?
guy B : ha nak pi ngeteh ke? joms.
guy C : bleh gok. mi, jom ah join minom teh.
me : ok fine, i'll come.
guy A : t time tu maksodnye kol bape stat golf,
             bukannye hal minom teh laaa
guy B, C & me : ohyekeeeeee. okbai.

nampok sangat kitorang ni bukan golongan elit ok.

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.

dating issue of the day.

i quite enjoyed the 8th episode on the latest
season of the big bang theory!

one, seeing sheldon being suave is hilarious!

and two, the story arc between raj and isabella
is an interesting one. would we date someone
who has a lower paying job than us?

and more importantly, would we be ashamed of it?
