on november 2010, ive been on a trip to ipoh. :)kekasih bwk ,so she took me from sepang..then we all gerak gi ipoh..then berlakulah sesuatu yang tk disangka mase on the way tu..it was somewhere in trolak la kot.i teraccidentkan kete fina-VAVI ehh silap..VIVA kesayangannya..:)sorry no photos cos mase tu fina pun tgh nanges baek punye..haha,kenela pujuk kan?? anyway, i was driving.sah2 la..mase tu jln 2 lane je..and ade satu treler panjang ni,die gerak cam sipot serawak. so ade 2 kete dpan i dh overtake.i pun nk overtake la,kt dpn tu, ade kon,diorg tutup jalan sbb kononnye nk baiki ape ntah..and then i hit the pedal la kan,sbb nk overtake.pastu ,sedar2 je, treler tu plak tetibe je laju, n tknk bg i potong pun.i pun pe lagi.mmg dh tkley elak,kon tu mmg die letak kt tgh2 ,pe lagi, POWWWWW!!! berlakulah satu perlanggaran yg agak dahsyat. disebabkan kon tu tk bergerak, so u do lah the physics .
m1v1 + m2v2 = (m1+m2)v3
m1=berat viva 850kgs cmpur org2 kt dlm.hehe
v1=speed viva at that moment 120km/h
m2=berat kon,say,1kg
v2=0,kon tu tk bergerak.
so, bygkan je la brape F yg dikenekan on Viva nye bumper tu.850x120=?? haa lmbat.tekan kalkulator sudeyh..156000kgm/s.haha bukan nk tunjuk terer kt sni,just kalau kene ketuk dgn penumbuk korg pun,bumper viva ley pecah,bygkan la dgn speed yg we carry mase tu..
so we all stopped selepas tu, n i thought mase tu bumper pecah punyelah.n it turned out to be right.bumper pecah,PLUS...compressor aircond nye pulley pun cam tk betul la rotation die..
dah,benti kt tapah.at first i pk mase tu cm nk cancel je trip tu.tapi fina (my love) pujuk2, ckp whatever it is,kene la face the probs.then the journey completed

n smpai kt ipoh,ade la bikin cerita sket...and tup2 kete die pun dh repair.except the bumper lah,as you can see til now :) sorry yer syg >>i Pwomise tk buat lagi dah <<
so i stayed for almost a week..n family fina sgt best :) thanks auntie n uncle.ehek..
so kt sni ade la few shots yg agak beginner la dri sume segi ah,baik dri segi shot mahupun editing.biaselah, org baru nk bjinak..

and right after that we went to lubuk fatimah or better known as lubuk timah. The place is beautiful , clean and with not many presence of people, it was fantastic.i got few shots around there,only to be frustrated with my battery go kaputt. still it was a nice place to be, and for sure i'll be going there again on any given holiday at ipoh.hehe
The next day,we went to sunway at tambun.but the fun part is that we get to see inside the petting zoo.its hard to get good shots from animal since they are moving quite often, but its a good start for me to learn part of photography skills that involves animal.the best part of the tour has got to be inside tiger valley where 3 or 4 tigers were inside their room, and not forgetting the cute cub.

i certainly did enjoy my time in ipoh and looking forward lg nk dtg..so ok, cukup la ek? korang pun penat dh bace, tgk je la gambo balik..owait.thank you syg,auntie,uncle n d rest for the wonderful times in ipoh!

Calling Romeo

I don't read that much novels. Aside from literary syllabus that was required back in the school days, I don't take that much effort to actually read on my expenses. Hey, don't get me wrong. It's not that I don't want to, but it's just that, novels are freaking expensive the fact that you're paying RM39.90 for something you read only once. So the once I do the read, are the ones that you need to pass exams, or the ones I got for free. (yep, I am that cheap).

Anyway, out of the small amount of books I do read, my personal favourite would be Alexandra Potter's Calling Romeo. Well, in short, its about a girl, who's already committed in a relationship with her longtime boyfriend, suddenly feel bored and annoyed with the boyfriend since there's no more spark or excitement. And when she found some other guy from work, she started to have feelings for that guy, and less for her boyfriend. Yada yada yada, she had infatuations, and neglecting that old boyfriend of hers. Same drama, in the end, she realise what a magnificent guy she already has and failed to see that all along.

Well, I'm not here to write the review or analysis of the book, because that can easily be found from google. But the reason I actually liked the idea of the book, is because, it actually hit, right on target.

Ouch.

I dare say, we are all, at least once in their lives, guilty of infidelities in relationships. We feel the need to obtain the love of somebody else, even when we already have a person that is showering us with theirs. Well, that's human being for you. We are never satisfied with what we have, but often mourn over for what we have lost.

So, this girl from the book, Juliet, was stood up during Valentine's Day by her live-in boyfriend. Well, thats what happens when you've been together long enough to take things for granted. That is usually the case, though. Boyfriends tend to neglect their woman, and woman look for what they miss in somebody else. See, that is something I have realised for quite some time. Guys would always forget to show that they love their partner because they feel that, the fact that they're still together with them, enough to show that they love them. Well guys, unfortunately, girls aren't like that. They want to be shown. They want to feel loved. They need it to be obvious. So, when the boyfriends don't do that, thats why the girls tend to stray... And what else could be better than new guys?

Girls, I know its hard to commit in a relationship. Sure, it tends to get boring, and lifeless sometimes. I used to think that, too. I always thought, "I'm still so young, so why the hell do I wanna be stuck with the same freaking guy I was in high school?" So, I strayed. For quite some time. Enough time to be infatuated with a few guys. But then it got me thinking, the guy I actually have right now, is actually amazing. Sure, we tend to be like old, married couples, but considering all the fun we had, all the memories we made, am I ready to throw that all away? Then bam! I turned 360 degrees. Well, not exactly immediately, but I did change my ways. And you know what, he did too, after a long heartfelt talk.

So the key of it all, is of course, communication. We need to talk. I know girls tend to keep things to themselves, whereas guys are just clueless to what is in girls' minds. I know, sometimes we just want them to know what we want without us telling them, but hey, guys are just bimbos sometimes, and that's okay. So, us girls just need to remind them of what they're lack off. But only if you want the relationship to work. If not, be my guest and just leave.

And the guys, when girls do talk it out, please, do take note (literally). They hate to repeat the same things all over again because they would feel that what they said weren't important enough to you that you weren't concentrating hard enough to remember. That's when they get reaaalllly angry. If Bryan Adams could understand, why can't you guys? Anyway, here's Chris Daughtry's version of Have You Ever Really Loved a Woman..

Love at first sight

This has always been in my mind. "Love at first sight". A term that we have always been hearing. Banyak cerita lovey dovey, tak kisah la omputih ke, melayu ke, telenovela ke, each of them is guilty for spoonfeeding to us about love at first sight.

But wujud ke love at first sight ni? Some people may say it does, some may say it doesn't. As for me, I strongly feel it doesn't. How can a person be in love with another, only by the first glance of them? Cam tak logik pun ada. Sure, you might the feel attracted to a person the first time you saw them, but that's not love. That's like, crush at first sight. If that's the case, I think every single human being pernah rasa that feeling.

And come to think of it, what's there to like when it is love at first sight? Bukankah the first thing you notice about a person is their appearance? So, does that not mean that you're attracted due to their looks? And isn't that the worst reason to fall in love with a person?

Which are you more likely to be in love at first sight?

This?

or

this?

Semua orang tau, that in order to have strong feelings for a person, they must get to know the other, understand each other, let the feelings develop, and see how things go. Orang yang dah kenal 10 tahun pun belum tentu its love, inikan orang yang baru takat nampak.

Tapi kenapa people, teenagers especially, are still in love with the idea of love at first sight? Well, blame the romance comedies we've all watched, songs we've listened. Sure it's fun to watch. Tapi budak-budak hingusan, yang masih di tahap conditioning, definitely will be in fantasies. Tu yang banyak jadi puppy love tu. Pastu, heartbroken, commit suicide. Mmmm... I'm running away from my point, aren't I?

Mamat ni pun satu. I knew I loved you before I met you?? Wtf?? Is that even logic?

Well, easy to say, people have got to lose this idea. This idea that when you're attracted to a person the first time you saw them, you're already in love. Because it's not. It's just lust. Even if you got married to that person, it's still wasn't love. It's just that the attraction made you want to get to know the person better, and coincidentally, both of you have developed feelings throughout the years.

Enough with the fantasies people. The real world ain't that great.

This one is a total exception. This one is sweet.

1Malaysia ke??

Now, this has been something I have ALWAYS thought about. I've always wanted to write it out, but never find the time (read: too much game playing) to write. But here I am, writing it while watching 1996's The First Wives Club.

So what I wanna talk about, is on 1Malaysia. Yep, lame topic. But, hear me out. I'm not gonna talk about what it means, as defined by the PM. No no. It's more on what I feel about it. So, what is 1Malaysia? To me, it means unity. It means that all of the people in our country, no matter what race you are, unite as Malaysian, not as Malays, Chinese, Indian and etc. But what others around me might define it, is as fairness and equality. So, am I wrong, or are they?

Whenever these people want equality, they always say, "Oh... So much for 1Malaysia.. but still not fair and not equal.. Government will always go on Malays side" Come on, grow up. It's 1Malaysia, not =Malaysia (that reads 'EqualMalaysia') 1Malaysia is about unity. I don't read that much of news, but even I know that. And unity isn't equality. Unity, is when people unite, living together as one. Hence the 1 in 1Malaysia.

All the time, when I walk in supermarkets, I see demonstrations on various products. And sometimes, I feel really irritated when I hear, the speaker's speaking Chinese. Now don't get me wrong. I'm not even the least racist. I love being in a multiracial country. But being in this kind of environment? Not working it out for me. Why must those speakers talk in a language that only their people would understand? Sure, some of the other people in a different race might speak the language, but that doesn't apply to the majority. What? Their target market are just their own races? They want to only sell kitchen items to their people? Isn't that a bit stupid marketing?

That doesn't even stop there. I'm a sucker for part-time jobs. I use to surf around the web to look for jobs. But know what upsets me the most? When I read the job specifications, it will always be specified into ONE particular race. For example:
-Must know how to promote -Must be attractive -Very aggressive -Must have transport -Female Chinese only WTF?? It's like, none of all the other qualities mean anything, unless your the race they wanted. Where's the 1Malaysia in that? Again, I'm saying, I'm not close to being racist, but are they trying to make me one? I get it. I get all the ethnocentrism. We think that our race is more superior than the others. I get that people wanna help their own race. I really do get it. But c'mon now. Grow up. Racism is the last thing you would want if you wanna develop. So what if somebody out there, is reaaaallly good. And just out of ego, that you want people from the same race, you find ONLY from those that is yours. What's that? Whatever happen to great people having great things?

If I were to mention this out loud, then I'm sure lots of people would come out, saying that Malaysia itself is always making the Malays the better one. Apparently, we always get better things. Well, firstly, the country is called MALAYsia, formerly known as Tanah Melayu. Hmm... I wonder why they call it that... Look, I'm bad in History. I tend to forget them. I don't remember what is in the agreement when Tunku Abdul Rahman went to England. But I do know that he went with a couple of other people from other race, because people have been saying that over and over again. Don't ask why the agreement sided the Malays, because I haven't been born at that time. But what I do know, is what's done is done. Get over it. You can't change the constitution unless you have Delorean.

Get this car. You can go back to the future. Try it.

This Malay vs other races, just because they feel the Malays are getting more, has so got to end. These are the deals made even before they were born. The hatred is just being instilled in all of us by our ancestors, and only God knows why they even do that. Fine. They wanna feel that the Malays are only successful right now just because of the advantages we have. Fine. Because personally I also feel that sometimes. But then again, the other races are also superior. Some are even more successful. So what's with the grudges?

And the Malays has their mistakes as well. They tend to make people hate them as well. With all the ego, superiority, hatred, and so much more. They feel that, since they have lots of advantages, they could live free, easy and in their comfort zone. Why not these Malays, even with all the advantages, show to other people that they can get things on their own, even without help from the government? And even if they do get help, why not they show their gratitude by performing well? This, not even I could get. Malays tend to take things very lightly and I think that this might be also the reason other think lowly of this race.

Look, we've been living this way for the past 53 years. Why suddenly make a hassle? We know better than to let history repeat itself. Get over it people. We're just Malaysians. Deal with it. Say no to racism!

Sweet.

AND WE'RE STILL HOLDING STRONG...

Series of Unfortunate Events

It was 22nd November 2010. It was like any other Monday. Only this particular Monday, I decided to take Faidhi with me back to my hometown. Nothing unusual about that, nonetheless. He's been to my home a couple of times. And I thought this time, it would be just like all the other times. But when the fact is that, it wasn't. This trip, this time, was a little bit different.

Now, to say that what happened to us that day is similar to Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events, means that I am exaggerating (although I do love the idea of exaggeration). But it doesn't mean it isn't bad. Because it was. Trust me. I almost died. Well, not literally.

So here's how it started off. Normal stuffs. I was already at his place, so we moved from there. We packed our stuff, and started moving at around 12.30pm. And since he was the guy, so I thought it's only normal that he take the wheel, although the car was mine. So we took a stop at Shah Alam first, since I needed to take some stuffs. So then we really took off at around 2pm.

So again, things were just normal. Everything was great, actually. Conversations over conversations. It was only around 100km left to reach home. It was all good.. until we hit into something...

This was the thing we collided into. The freaking traffic cone. And no, the girl was not there. The accident didn't happen because Faidhi saw a girl in the middle of the road, picking up a book, but really, she meant to show her ass. No. It wasn't. Unless if it was, then Faidhi, I am going to kill you.

You might think it's actually stupid to run over a cone, and nothing would happen even if you did. Because I was always curious to think how it would be like to run over it. Cos, it's just plastic, right? Well, then, here's the answer to the question: It ain't pretty. After we (a.k.a. Faidhi) ran over the cone, he kinda drag the thing together with the car, resulting a massive 'pain' to my bumper. (read: the car's bumper, pervs) We stopped at the side of the road to check on it. And the lower part of the bumper literally broke. The clips at the sides can't hold the bumper. The bumper didn't drop though, thank God.

No words could express my anger at that time. IT WAS MY CAR, and SOMEBODY ELSE BROKE IT! Boyfriend or not, I was furious. I went back into the car, and switched on my aircond, only to find out that when I did, strange annoying noises were coming out of it. And that's when I snapped. We moved on our journey after that, but then it became tensed. I got upset, and threw a fit. Who wouldn't be when you're angry, and the aircond can't work without jamming the car. So, yada yada yada. That was it. I became calm again after we stopped at the R&R. I drived after that.

Now, there would always be a strike three in everything. But in our case, Faidhi calls it a 3-series. Yep, he thinks that by being jinx, he could gain a Beemer. At our exit, a few metres before, I was getting ready to look for my Touch 'n' Go, only to find that it was missing. I asked Faidhi since he was the last person to use. We end up driving to the side, and trying to look for it. So since its 'our day', obviously we couldn't find it. I just drove to the toll, and told the girl that we lost our card. And she said the penalty was RM69.30. Shocked, so I asked for forgiveness. Haha. Forgiveness. What a word to use. Anyyyyyway, we didn't pay the penalty. Only the fare from the last exit.

So that was it. Our series of unfortunate events. We eventually got home, but got to the workshop first to check on the aircond before facing my parents. Being the mastermind of lies that I was, I created a story to my parents, saying that the accident happened because of the aircond suddenly became annoying and at the same time increasing the car's RPM, therefore, reducing the car's power, which made Faidhi lost control of the car and hit the cone. Ain't that clever for somebody who knows nothing about cars?

Case of the Ex

(Faidhi's gonna be sooooooo mad when he reads this...)

So I'm at home. Going through news feeds at Facebook. Then I saw some profiles of the people I've had 'history' with. Two of them, to be exact. One, I had recent crush with, which now I could assume already has a girlfriend. Opposite of me, that girlfriend of his. So I could tell why he didn't really wanted me back then. :P Gone through his pictures and all, and that was it. All that is in my mind, was that, "Okay. He's got someone now." No biggie though.

Then, saw this other person. At first, it was just fine. As the same thing happened as the previous, where I just viewed his profile and all. But then, after I watched Bruno Mars' Grenade video, I realised how they had the same features. So like it or not, at that point of time, old memories were triggered. I started realising that I actually miss the guy, not as a partner, since I already have my life by my side. But I was missing his company with me. As my friend.

So there. I miss my ex. I miss him terribly. I miss his presence. But that's just about it.
