Dog Chasing Men






The title of the post states it all....





A early morning run nearly gone awry. Two men, both aged __, perhaps 18,
was chased down by a brown Pomeranian dog. It happened while the victims were
taking a early morning jog from school after a night of studying.





The victims, both vetically challenged...(one malnourished and the other,
overfed), was running past a factory gazetted area in the West Coast when they
were ambushed. The Pomeranian came out from its hiding area (banana trees) and
started chasing on the victims who made a made dash for safety.





Running with their hearts out, taking into consideration that before this,
they had covered an hour of running and were on their way back to school... they
were safe. The dog got tired. Stopped. But still continued barking....





And the men?





Well.... they were sponsored by the SAF. "A force above all"...





Hahaha...





and the dog?







It wasnt..

(sponsored by SAF)

Sounds like an SAF advert gone wrong! WAHAHA.... OK! It's exam time people. Kamie took her first and im due for my paper nxt week.... I feel lost but i feel lighter these days. All the running and the extra carbo... wow.... yeaa ryt. My foot hurts badly from all the running. My shoes are both hitting 3 years of mileage. Im still heavy and breathing heavy when i take the stairs. That's why i take the lift nowadays....

Silat? Later then can....

Hahaha...but it'll be my swansong. Gonna break the 4 curse. Till then.....





May Allah guide us all..bless us with happiness and health n protect us from the dangers of this world, physically or mentally. Help us become successful people in the world and after...

2 down... what?!

Second interview down...

DOWN again.

Felt i did well for this interview. But as i had expected, i was rejected. This is perhaps due to my height. Did i really shrink?? Kecik said she thought i got shorter. My height on that day was a surprising 160cm on the first take!! GILERRR! On second take..it was 162.5cm. That was still far from my usual 164-165....i was off the minimum for the requirements.

Darn, i could answer most of the questions and i felt i handled it well. Alas.. haiz.

But it's ok.. i prayed to God before that if he has a plan, he noes best. So reject or accept..be it for the best and for the life i prayed for. He knows best.. Love you.

Thanks to those who have helped especially Jihan! Kamie, thanks for being the scapegoat for me to explain what i have learnt to...

Now i need to keep trying..

Anyway...i thought this quote about a child is good for parents...

"Your children are not your children. They are the sons and daughters
of Life's longing for itself. They come through you but not from you, and though
they are with you yet they belong not to you. You may give them your love but
not your thoughts, for they have their own thoughts. You may house their bodies
but not their souls, for their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow, which you
cannot visit, not even in your dreams. You may strive to be like them, but seek
not to make them like you. For life goes not backward nor tarries with
yesterday. You are the bows from which your children as living arrows are sent
forth. The archer sees the mark upon the path of the infinite, and He bends you
with His might that His arrows may go swift and far. Let your bending in the
Archer's hand be for gladness; for even as He loves the arrow that flies, so He
loves also the bow that is stable."


May Allah guide us all..bless us with happiness and health n protect us from the dangers of this world, physically or mentally. Help us become successful people in the world and after...

"Lost Souls in a FishBowl"...maiden performance!

My first performance ever in music...besides the good ol choir days... Hahaha... Maiden attempt at trying to enjoy ourselves. Me and my friend Kelvin.




It was GTV6 last friday (11th April 08 - the video of the performance will be attached as soon as i manage to upload it!) A very rushed day indeed.

1. Had to collect my specs from Queensway..(my specs dat i fell in love with though not expensive like Ferhan's Oaks!)

2. Had to help set-up (which we chao keng...not chao kng!), do sound checks and rehearse abit..
3. Had to go back Nek's place to take car, pick up my auntie Ifa and Uncle Shah and my little cuzzin Dani-boboy... plus, we had to eat at nek's dulu..
4. Go Ain's Hollywood Themed party at Loyang...



And Jihan bought a Ducati Monster!! Rabak!! Ali.... han dah upgrade! Biler kiter nak amik class 2 jadik leh beli Harley... den boleh balik kampung convoy2 macam Road Hogs! Arrrrghhhh!

Plus...i have another interview this friday. Takooooootttt. I photoshopped a photo we took last year after the technopreneurship final presentation to make it look like a passport-sized photo for my resume. Ahhhhh, the wonders of photoshop... eradicated my oily face, my two pimples on my cheeks that time and the dirty wall in the background. Hahaha...

And here's the video of the performance. Ahhh...shivery and scary to be seated on the tall chair in the middle of the stage full of people at munchie monkeys. ARRRRRGHHHH!!!

Kamie was there to give moral support! Thank you bubuku!

And the guy on the right of the vid is my friend Kelvin. Coincidentally we have quite alot of things in common from the taste of music to the Brigade we are in for reservist.. Hahaha... Clicked right from the start in class... we call our duo "Lost Souls in a Fishbowl" which is our favourite part of the Pink Floyd number we were playing for GTV and our our favourite song the entire year... Wish You Were Here.

For the performance...i could literally see my fingers shiver! So cooool! Hence, if you can discernly hear, i made a booboo quite early in the song when my bend didnt reach the note. Hahaha...like a cat being strangled! That's what the bend turned out to be when my fingers slipped! Hahahaha...quite a few mistakes in the song but importantly... WE SMILED and ENJOYED! Plus...we performed. The two brave souls from our class... Hahaha.. we're just crazy people.
I think our next performance might be Nurse's day in August at NUS. Watch out for the "Lost Souls in a Fishbowl"!

And baby....thanks for being with me, being supportive and being the light of my
days. Im still looooovin youuuuuuuuuuuu....... Hahaha...



YEAH! and to the clubmates... thank you all for the great year...




May Allah guide us all..bless us with happiness and health n protect us from the dangers of this world, physically or mentally. Help us become successful people in the world and after...

Sajak - Pedih Menjadi Orang Tua

Pedih Menjadi Orang Tua

Ada seorang tua yang buta sebelah mata
tapi sebelah lagi cukup terang
menghitung hari-hari terakhirnya
tinggal sendirian meniti usia senja
flat tiga biliknya bagai teratak tua
terasa terpencil
di tengah-tengah bendang rumah pangsa
di pinggir kota
di tinggalkan abadi isteri tercinta
kerana penyakit tua dan leukemia
juga diabaikan anak-anak yang tiga semuanya
kerana masing-masing sibuk dengan urusan dunia.

Yang sulung guru,
gigih mendidik anak muridnya
yang tengah peguam,
hebat membela anak guamnya
yang bongsu doktor,
rajin merawat pesakitnya
sedangkan dia sendiri tak penat-penat
memanggil-manggil nama mereka
cuba menghirup air kasih
untuk menghilangkan dahaga rindu
daripada anak-anak yang berjaya
nyata tidak terisi setitik pun cinta
di cangkir kaca
begitu pun dia terus membeli masa
dari subuh hingga ke senja yang bergetar duka
dari senja hingga ke subuh yang menggelepar luka
puncaknya dia merintih mengelus jiwa:
“Amat pedih jadi orang tua
75 tahun dan masih menghitung angka penuh hiba
memang aku tak kering wang dan harta
namun ulang tahun hari lahirku sering dilupa
pastinya mereka sangka aku hidup bahagia
boleh bertahan hingga maghrib tiba
sekiranya aku tertutup mata selama-lamanya
sampaikan pesan, orang tua sepertiku
memang tidak akan mati
kerana tidak lapar dan dahaga
tapi aku mampu mati kerana dibelit kesepian
rakus dikunyah-kunyah masa.”

Disambungnya lagi hati penuh terusik:
“Pedih, memang pedih menjadi orang tua
kerana tidak punya apa-apa
selain bertambah kaya
dengan kesunyian dan air mata
alangkah indahnya
kalau aku dapat mendengar suara cinta mereka
menghapuskan kebosanan yang semakin menjala
menghapuskan kejenuhan yang semakin melata
walau untuk beberapa detik cuma
dan aku masih boleh mendabik dada
memberitahu satu dunia
inilah hadiah ikhlas dan sejujurnya
daripada anak-anakku yang sibuk dan berjaya.”
