Hiatus-endus!
It has been a very looooooonnnnnnggggggg hiatus... yes very long!
Haha..last check, was during the exams right?
To update on that...yes.. i entered all 3 events for IVP and won 2 medals. One for ganda which i dedicate wholly to chong and partly to hoirul who after a long persuasion by the coaches, finally took up the challenge to do ganda with me. We trained every morning after which i headed for work at night while he had regu training in the afternoon... darn. I managed to lose 7kg for that 2 weeks! That was to bring my weight down to 64kg to fit myself in to my category for sparring. But not having food in the system was badddd... i feel so lethargic and weak. Ur body feels weighed down by the bones and the muscles felt more like excess to the body rather than strength-givers. Hence, although i won one sparring match...i lost the other. But on both occasions, i didn't play like me...it was shit! I couln't do my side kicks at all!! That the only kick i could do basically but i can't do that..haha... tak makan punya pasal!
And finally... i got a tunggal medal!! No more fourth! Plus more...at PSK, i managed to qualify for tunggal finals..getting 2nd in my pool out of 5! And the best thing is...i got FOURTH again!! HAHAHA... can't really run away from that huh..
Other than silat which took a few months off my potentially free time... i had part time work at NTUC Income...which i can say im slowly becoming a permanent part-timer.. Hahaha... and this is the bundle of joy i have been working beside with for awhile...(literally cos he was in his mommy's stomach and i was somewhat subjected to her whines and cravings nearly everyday!)... Dunno his name but i'll call him boboi... lina calls him little becks! Hahaha... for the second time ever, i can say..."I'm ready to be a dad.." Hahaha...
N those two boys behind are the Jurong Boys... Ah Man and Pipin... i think some of you might recognise Pipin... Hahaha... We need to be separated at work cause if all of us sit together... there'll be too much "turbulence"...
Well... to elaborate abit.. work has been fun. I never expected an office environment to turn out this way. Thanx to Hidayah and our dear Lina... office job is fun. It's been years that the Khalawats has been together.. i just have to say i'm proud of all of us. Lina-the-manager, Redha-the-finally-into-NIE-teacher.. Azack-the-soon-to-be-i-expect-HOD-teacher... Well me and Fyque? The graduates!
Well, we just need to find our footing in this world wherever we want our feet rooted onto now. I need to search for the passions that dulled itself amidst denial and fear. To polish it up so that i can once again go in search of it once again...upon a journey that i hope would lead me to it..
And i will soon have to leave something that my comfort zone has extended to.... As painful as it gets, as sad as it would be and as terrifying as the path of blindness that i would have to tread after that... i will have to set my right foot out to begin that walk...
Another thing i was doing was teaching our dear friend Raiyan how to ride a bicycle... He'd make my 3rd student now. Hahaha..
Bontot dia punyer gelek! All of you should have seen that... we could have sat down in a vehicle behind him and ate durians just watching his butt gelekkk! Hahaha... klakar giler! Plus his many antics falling... Hahaha... 2 big falls.. against the divider and hitting a Swiss beauty! Hahaha... sampai nose-bleed!
But he managed to cover Ubin...so.. kudos!
And there was commencement... or graduation ceremony... Haiz.. moody day to head there knowing this wasn't really what you're built for... But still... it was a journey.
To the MEU... or the Malay Economists' Union...
Thank you for the fruitful, fun and family-like moments. I'll miss the discussions, the studying, the food and the gossips in lectures...
I'll miss all of you...
The journeys ahead each of us will be the determining point for the MEU trademark.. Hahaha.. whether 'economics' education had mae a mark i any of us!! Hahaha... skali whatever we do in the future tak related langsung dengan the 'perceived' field of economics...
But as 'economists' we know... practically everything in life has something to do with economics... we noe.. cos we're economists too... Hahaha..
Plus... thanks for the book Salmah... it really came at the perfect time.
And for the mug too Kecik! It looks beautiful... our faces i mean.. Hahaha...
To the ex-MEU... my beau..Thank you for staying by me.. not behind, sometimes in front.. Hahaha... With you around... life just seems more meaningful.
Two years have passed. May seem long... yet, im looking forward to more beatiful years to come. With moments that takes our breaths aways... moments that make us go "awwww"...
And..... i wish to reveal my intentions of signing on a lifetime contract with you.. when our parents are ready..
*we are always ready! but our parents might not be... Hahaha..*
And OK...when we have some money to start our baby-business... Hahahaha...11 little tots in the pot...
Thank You, my luv, my confidante, my honey, my best friend, my nurse, my angelonie (hehe).. my All....
To my parents... Thank you for guiding me up till this day, making sure im alive and stay ahead of many in this society. Making sure im not left behind and making sure i have safety nets lest i fall... having your support gives me confidence that even when i fall.. it won't be hard and permanent...On another note... this commencement could signal the safety net being removed. That i now have to rely on what i have learnt through these years to propel me through times to come. What i wanna make of my life is in my hands...
I felt a tinge of regret having to go thru this form of education system..not being able to pursue my passions when i had them.
But i also realised time is forever there until i myself lose grasp of it. Age is no matter to me now.. its' what society makes of it and im a rebel..proud to be one and proud to continue being one... Cause changes in the world have mostly been made by rebels... not conformists!
So here i go...
...my dreams i keep to myself.
Plus... check out my Wah Wah pedal i recently acquired after some shrewd saving and moment of craziness (and yes..courage!) Hahaha...the Dunlop Signature Slash Crybaby Wah a.k.a SW-95!
After going thru many many youtube videos and forum postings... i decided to pit my money on the Slash Wah... first and foremost because of the sound... it fits into the genre of music i play well. Second...the colour... ooohhhhh... red. One of my fav colours! My bicycle was red, My Donkey was red... my car is going to be a Hot-Red Mini Cooper coupe... and so... my Wah Wah and a red hot wah... beautiful. I only wished that i don't need to click it down to ON or OFF it... especially to switch it off... hahaha.. in the middle f playing and you'd have to off it...slightly weird. But it also has it's advantage... cos it you switch it on and leave the footpedal down, youd maintain that sound..
Nevermind.. i'm sure i'll find some way to modify it. So now...i have three guitar things! Enuf to make money by the road side? YESSSAHHH!
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...
