Haha, I just realized that a few sentences in my last entry were left hanging- to a point that they didn't make any sense. Sorry about that mates! You see, it's very late at night, and I was typing whilst sitting half-awake. Well, I'm sure all of you out there are smart enough- you can figure out what I was trying to say, right? Hehe!

Yep, certainly it is. I have been sick for the last one week plus. The cold, flu, cough viral combo really caught up with me - particularly with my work. It's so happen the there were super-important meetings, paperwork and not to mention, decisions needed to be made. Making things worse, I was seen to be "getting back to the older me" where I got a lot of responsibilities on the plate-

Last weekend, a bunch of us hang out with this British dude at 222. It was Tatty's office mate - whom is due to fly back home in a few days time. Despite being here for a month or so, he didn't have the chance to fully embrace the true Malaysian 'lepak' culture. He came to the right group. We started the night with otak-otak, kuy teow goreng, roti canai and karipaps. Then a second order

The Saturday has been utterly quiet. No emails, not much sms and just a few phone calls. What the hell? I'm finally left alone on the weekend? Wah lau... Sent from my BlackBerry® wireless device via Vodafone-Celcom Mobile.

There are thousands of ways that people can or would do to find the meaning of life. Some would go high up the mountains and be a hermit. Some would visit a holy place, and pray as well as hope for some divine signs. Some would experiment with nature; observing the environment for any crossing fate. Others would seek help from a learned man - doctors, consultants, shrink or religious

Nothing good ever happens after 2 am.Well, the statement was not overrated. Because a few minutes back I was skilfully 'tricked' into paying RM36 worth of prepaid airtime credit for an SMS game. Here's how it happens:1- I got RM37++ in my phone (not this one that I'm using) - I didn't know what to do with it since the airtimw gonna expire in a couple of days. 2- I decided to browse Digi's mobile

Since I was 16, I had this vision that one day I would be living a dream life. With an arsenal of automobile along with an array of bikes, I would be living in an ultra-modern country house somewhere inside the woods but have the most amazing sea view. I would have an amazing wife whom during a PTA meeting every mother would envy and every father would want. Yeah, I don't mind that since I'd be

I've had a few sleepless night. It has been tolling on my energy level, and the stress- by golly- I really hate it. It made me couldn't stop munching on things. I'm trying to find comfort. To a certain extend, Alice had given much. But, the things inside is eating me up. "Serves you right" a lot may say. Well, what can I do? No matter what I do, it'll always be that 'it serves me right'.

In my last entry I talked about how I wish that the Friday would be a good day that would settle all my problems, make me smile, etc. Well, I found out later that the Friday is literally a 'Good Friday' as in the Christian celebration day. So, in a way my wish came true as it was a 'Good Friday'. D'oh! But, what I was truly wishing for didn't come true. Perhaps I need to make a new (more

Some people truly believe in religion - the God and other celestial being within, and the men/women of preach. They would hope for a divine bliss. Some believe in God, but don't believe in the rest part of the religion. These people would hope for a miracle. Some believe in God and everything inside a religion- but opt to worship devil. They would hope for a miracle also from their supreme

The subject of this entry was inspired by the song Angel of Music from the Phantom of the Opera. Nice song it was. The Phantom - acted as an Angel of Music for Christine - reveals himself grandly by appearing in a mirror - whilst all this while he was only talking to her "from far". But apart from that, the Phantom wanted to tell Christine something: that you can see everything about you

But hey, observe carefully, and you'll see FB's Farmville game is on my laptop screen.

There are a lot of choices for any human being to pick when it comes to handling stress. Some sing. Some eat. Some go around and yell at people. Some throw things. Some resolve to violence. I used to pick the choices above. Besides singing, I have vowed to stay away from those choices. It was one of my silent resolution. But I admit that I have lost it, particularly the throwing and

Somebody told me that my blog is lengthy and has too much words, very less picture. Lads, here's my explanation: 1- the reason I WRITE a blog is to express myself. Sometimes it can be in form of pictures, sometimes words and sometimes a combination of both. However most of the time it'll happen just like that and I'll just type away- along with all my arguments. As I'm using a handphone to

More often than not I can't choose which one is better. I love coffee for the good 'kick' it offers. I like tea for the subtle taste and thirst quenching experience. Cham Ais would be my choice if I can't figure out which one I needed the most at a particular time. Huhu! Oh, look at the time, it's time for an iced-cold coffee! Or maybe tea... Ah, shucks!

Theres an age old question in choosing one of those. Should a leader protect the nation's economy or improve the national education? Of course choosing both is the ultimate option. However, in reality, there are things that we need to sacrifice.   Imagine that you're in the position of power, where assuming that you can only choose ONE, which will it be?   I myself am struggling with the answer.

On the way for dinner earlier today, I was listening to a traffic report on radio. There was a traffic light on a stretch of road in Penang that was broken, making it jam packed with vehicles. One reminder given by the reporter was for pedestrians was to "look left, right, and left again before crossing". Now I'm not complaining to the fact that the reminder was given to the wrong crowd as most

Particularly in the last 1-2 weeks, the term social media really hit the Malaysian public. It was highlighted grandly in the 2008 GE that the opposition managed to capture quite a number of seats in the house through viral marketing and social media campaigns, but somehow recently the wave grew bigger.

Today was a different day. One of office director suddenly invited myself and Jamil for a game of golf at a driving range near the office. Without hesitation we accepted, and the next thing we know, we were swinging irons for an hour! I've never fancied golfing before, despite have tried the game a few times.

Yes, it was tiring, but man, I have never felt so glad that I attended the event!Well the day started very early when I woke up around 4.30-ish to prep myself. After a major err...

In the spirit of 1OBC, the bootcamp is organizing a platoon vs platoon telematch this coming Sunday. One of the main reason for this event is to actually build the rapport between the current 2 platoons of OBC Malaysia; the PJ Platoon and the KL Platoon. Despite having communicated in FB page, there are quite a number of recruits have never met each other- even in the platoon itself. This is

I woke up this morning with not so high spirit; as I know I'm gonna get tired for the OBC. But it was lifted to a great extend just after the warm up session, as (as usual) we need to do grunts as penalty for the AWOLs. Somehow I managed to do 20 without the need for the 5 second break. Maybe it didn't sound much, but it was a great feat for me. And the morning got better as I took a light

I managed to gather my strength anyway for this morning. Roughly with 3.5 hours of sleep, the crankiness I had this morning was utterly annoying- even to myself. As I have expected, I arrived 4 minutes late for the roll call. But good enough, as I was on time when the sergeants yelled out my name- thus no AWOL was marked.

Not as in emotion, but literally the colour. My uncle, recently wed his partner of 7 years. Blue was the theme of the occasion.

The first post of 09. And it's quarter of the year already.Things have been soo packed since late last year.Practically despite the travelling I need to embark in the next 3-4 months, I feel I could rather relax; away from the office; away from annoying phone calls; away from endless meetings. Although the e-mails and paperwork kept haunting me until this very moment of the day.Well, 08 has been

Yes, the last post that I have made in this bloody realm was about Vietnam.Much had happened since then - in terms of family, friends, work, and love - the classic story of Syarif as much would say it.Good family.Nice friends.Too much work (sometimes).---- Not much to say about all of those ----However, love in the other hand; is something not unusual, and yet, still unique.

Water Puppet performance is unique to Vietnam. While the puppets are controlled behind a screen (with about 4 feet of pool of water) a bunch of musicians play and sing songs. The coordination is trumendous, as the puppeteer behind the screen could not see whats going on in front, and the musicians/singers could not see the puppeteers. Another thing I like about the show is the way they tell the

Vietnam is a nice country to visit with nice sceneries and beautiful and hardworking people. But sadly, they were involved in a 100 years of war - with the French, Japanese and American - making their economic and social growth held back. Now, they're bullishing back up. If you see the country now, it is in a way like Malaysia around 20 years back - with all the development rapidly coming in. If

After the Vietnam War (or American War as referred by Vietnamese), the North and South Vietnam were united. The Reunification Hall was the presedential palace during those days (when Saigon was the capital of Vietnam). It was known as Presedential Palace, until the capital city was changed to Hanoi. The palace or the hall is a lavish building with French and common European architecture. It

The Cu Chi (pronounced as coo-chee) Tunnel is one of the main sites of hundreds of kilometres of tunnels all over South Vietnam.The tunnel that was originally created was only about 3 feet in height and about 2 feet wide. This one that myself and fellow colleagues went in was actually enlarged for tourism purpose.Being a minor claustraphobic, the journey of 65 metres in the tunnel felt really

After Halong Bay, Jamil and myself took a 12 hour train ride to a city called Hue (pronounced as hoo-way). Hue is the former capital of Vietnam (before Saigon and Hanoi) - during their imperial days - which was before the French occupation.A nice city, with citadels, pagodas and a river called Perfume River - though no scents were detected during my time there.A hectic, yet quite place to visit.

After spending a night in Hanoi, we took a three hour bus ride to Halong Harbour - where we took a boat to Halong Bay. I must say, there were a lot of "awes", "oohs" and "aahs" - not to mention pauses and startles on that 2 hour tour around the bay. The air is nice and the view is magnificent! A Japanese dude, called Yoshi who was travelling with us on the boat stepped up to us to say that "God

The real world is challenging, agonising and somewhat depressing. However, somewhere in the equation; add in love, friendship and chivalry.Everyone seems to hate the real world, but fonding it great enough making a majority of us didn't have the guts to terminate our lives.So, what the heck is the "real world" again?Perhaps it is an aggravating place that you'll love to stay in.

Alright, I've done this before (refer to the post on 25th July 08 below), but the musics that I used before were totally random, and not necessary my favourites.
