Tagged by Anne

Got tagged by Miss Anne, and apparently I've got nothing else to do or write for that else matters. So, I'm gonna do this tag, anyway(since writing politics (not that I'm interested) gonna cut me off from my opportunities. ).

Erm, really, I've got no idea on what I'm supposed to do. Well, refering back to what Miss Anne did,



This goes all to my friends out there. Especially, faynatics, 514 Classmates(selected persons), Aji, ,Usopp, Amiirah, Kay-Ay, Wanymas, and so on

Friends are forever. Sorry, for being lazy sometimes.

Hmm, the best part of all, tagging another person.

Well, this time I'm tagging:

1.Amiirah - Kalau x busy, buatla.
2.Wany - Got some time? Then do it. :D Haha
3.Kay-Ay - Buat! Jangan x buat!
4.Radzi - I know you don't do this kind of things, still tagging you :D
5.Kak Syari - long time didn't visit your page. How are you doing, Kak?

Hmm, that's all for now.

Killing Me Slowly

My computer is killing, if not, torturing me real damn slowly. Urgghh, can't you just imagine how I'm supposed to draw my graphics on the photoshop and at the same time looking up on tutorials about how you could make a picture looked old? It just utterly slow. Well, can't really blame anyone though, since my computer is bought in what year, 2000, or 2001 or something. It's quite a good companion until recently that it kept hanging own its own! I need to do change the RAM ASAP. But seeing that the computer uses an old motherboard which will and most definitely will cost me a fortune if not, my mother's, compared to a new motherboard, which will only cost around RM 70 for a 1GB RAM. Oh, how I envy my brother's new computer. Windows Vista, Intel Dual Core 2 Duo, 2 GB worth of RAM and nVIDIA graphics enforced. What else could I asked for?

Anyway, mother had promised to buy me a laptop, so I won't be bothered by this old computer no more. But after saying all that just now made me realise. All this time I've been posting the posts on this blog, chatting on the Yahoo! messenger and other various internet communications, I did using this computer. So, yep this computer had done great to me despite it have minimal capability. Maybe if I start working, I'll bought my own powerful computer and from there I'll be able to play online games again, the ones that demand extreme graphics and so on. Now if only the living expenses never raised. :D

Shuffle in and out.

Its a video of my friend doing a shuffle. For you guys who doesn't know what shuffle is, like me a few weeks ago, shuffle is a dance following the right tempo and beat, more or less, really. I can't really see and say what's so shaking about it, still, it's worth knowing the shuffle commune. Anyway, the video was taken in Korea, please bear in mind that the video is about 5 min long just that the appearance of the shuffler is apparently, 1 min ++.




Which is quite questionable really. If you're interested with shuffling, just google it up. :D

Quizzes Buzzes

Breathe in and breathe out. Okay, no more sad stories from now on. I'm looking on the bright side from this moment and on. Haha :D

Take this test!
Taking life as it comes is the vacation style that suits your laidback family best. With your casual approach and fun-loving attitude, you'd rather see where the road takes you than map out an entire outing to the last letter.


While flying by the seat of your pants isn't for everyone, you and your clan probably enjoy the excitement and flexibility it offers. After all, spontaneity makes life that much spicier. Sure, there's a time and a place for planning, but life's more relaxing — and fun — when you're not rushing around or limiting your options. So forget the ETAs and ETDs and just be prepared to go with the flow. You'll most likely end up in an entirely unexpected place, which is what makes your vacations so memorable year after year. Happy trails!



Another quiz done today, just that it's quite unrelated. What do you mean I'm spontaneous when it comes to traveling? Oh well, it doesn't matter since I rarely travels for holiday vacations. :D

Changes are made for the better?

Is it that hard to really change? I don't think so. It's the people around you who wouldn't let you. Those sinister looks, their almost grinning smile, and best of all, if they got the juicy bits of you, they wouldn't just let it go out of your mind. I wonder, if I could ever make the wronged go right once again. Yeah, everyday I prayed for the Lord to bless with me such devotedly feelings towards Him, and not a single day passed without I'm praying for the better change. And yet people wouldn't let it off you. It's just the surface what matters now is it? Go humour yourself with such stories, stories which the truth and lies mixed all together. You'll never know the truth, no one does and it will stay that way.

I thought we were friends, a good one to. Friends help other friends change, and it always had been that way. I'm so sorry if I had ever wronged you. Well, it just saddens me that I won't be able to forget anything while I'm with you, can I?

I'm a human. I need to forget, so I could move on.

Please help.

Scribbles (Useless Musings)

Actually, when you got too much free time, you start to wonder, where all the time had gone off to? And when you had so little time to do your activities, you too will start to wonder where all the time had flew off to? Why would we, humans feel that way even though we are doing our daily routines with our eyes open and our mind critically sharp and yet, we failed to grasp the little details that make the whole picture shines a little brighter? I only know how to ask questions and not how to find answers for myself. You see, when I am so busy fitting in my school, I forgot to realise the most important thing. This may seem to be quite lame and stale, but still, I think it's the utmost urgent for me to tell it so that they could understand. While I was browsing the Friendster, I stumbled upon one of my friends page. I really didn't know I am quite a something to him.
akmal plak tquih menghilangkan diri, p mrsm langkawi..huhu, my bestest friend sampai tingkatan 3..i credit my success in my pmr examinations to him..tanpa beliau, xmungkin aku berjaya..tenkz! - Anwar
Well, I'm so sorry that our friendship lasts till Form 3, it's kinda my fault for not telling you that I was going. I hope it'll lasts forever but it's kinda too late to say that huh? You see, I had a hard time fitting in MRSM if you must know. I had to cope with the studies, the social circle and new friends with different attitudes to boot. And the biggest reason I couldn't, more like wouldn't contact you guys is that, it's such a long time that I've gone somewhere else, and it would be extremely awkward for me to say "Salam, ampa suma buat pa tu?!" all of sudden without getting that look, you know, THAT look.

I'm a NO-GOOD friend. Well, at least I tried to be a better one, if there is a next time.

And congratulations to Radzi Abd Rahman for his new blog. Well, it's nothing to celebrate to, but still I'm doing it. Nomadic Aksara, a tittle which I'm trying to figure it out myself (you can't blame poetics these days, they have a mind of their own). Radzi, or Aji, a shorter version of his name, is a good friend of mine. Replying to his latest posts,

chom: 'dah buat medical checkup?'
aku: 'apa pon blom'
baik buat, nnti cuti snang. kau dh buat? - untuk chom

For Aji, I've only done the Mantoux Test, the rest depends on Ayah actually.

Anyway, Welcome to the Blogger World!

Inevitable

Well, it's kinda too late to even mention it, but I might as well say it. The price of oil had increased in Malaysia and it's about 40% of increment we're talking about. I'm not talking about stale news, it's just suddenly came to my mind, that I am somehow utterly bothered by this fact. Although I am no driver, no worker, and still clinging to my parents for source of money, I am still bothered by this unruly truth. After the oil increment, soon afterwards, everything will start to follow as a result of the first increment. Everything started to get a little pricey again, and recently I read the papers about how express bus tickets had increased about 30% right after the oil price increment. Talk about express reaction. The food price also did went up which I'm sure some of the sellers are taking advantage upon us, users and buyers, since some of us didn't know the real facts. It's not a shame for me to admit that I am scared, scared of knowing what will happen sooner or later. The global warming is just another thing that bothers me. The truth really are something, isn't it? And I'm not even doing something about it, well maybe I did something, by reducing my air conditioner usage. Slowly I will somehow turns to conventional way of cooling yourself. It's non other, the fan. Well, it's not only CFC's who contributed to what happened. Factories, cars and so on.

This things had already happened for quite some time now and it took us quite a while to notice it happened, or were we just turning a blind eye upon it, making our mind at peace again? That I can't really tell. What I can tell is that our earth is suffering, and I know it won't last that long. Talking is easy, I know. But I am going to do something about it. Maybe by starting to reduce my aircond usage. It's not that much to help, I know. But at least I am doing something, not going to lose without a fight. I hope we would find a way to survive in our dying world of our own. The oil is coming to a depletion and the global warming is really tackling us apart. Let's find a way, somehow.

Back Online

Hehe, I really have to give the credits to TM again this time for their swift actions, repairing the cable back AGAIN. I don't know why some crooks need to steal the cable, exactly in front of my house, and exactly in my neighbourhood? Come on lah! What if the same thing happens to you, the thieves and what if there's an emergency? Some one's life is on the line and you are the one who cuts the telephone cable away for some extra cash, that I seriously doubt will last that long. Anyway, listening to my father's advice, the technicians remove the foot holders on the pole so that the stealer couldn't climb it. I hope this action will solve the matter and no more cable is stolen ever again, well at least not in my neighbourhood. So, there won't be any outages, I hope. (outages? is it correct? :S)

Anyway, my little niece had came back from her journey to Kelantan. She looks kinda the same just the hair looks a little longer than before. Haha, the first thing that she did when she arrived here was watching her all-time favourite TeleTubbies, from the same episode. I just let her do it though.

Connectionless 2

I can't go online again this week. Some idiotic fools just stole my, I mean our phone cable this morning, AGAIN. Lucky my phone got Opera Mini Browser, so that at least I can post something about what happened. So, I'm "away" for a couple of days or maybe even weeks. Call me if you need me. Damn stealers!

Lucid Dreams

Wonder if you could change and control your own dreams? what would it be? Flying up high in the sky so that you could see the whole earth? Went traveling to all the beautiful places in the whole world? Or even, have a date with that superstar that you had a crush on? Lucid Dreaming, a type of sleep behavior promises a complete control of your own dreaming days, or nights.

After hours of reading and reading from How Stuff Works, I found out that dreams have many types and there is a type where you could control what you do in it. Just like a director in your own film, you can direct how some scenes or people behaves in your dream.

Ever had a dream, a dream when you realise that you are dreaming, like you're awake, in a dream? Let's put it in simpler terms. You are dreaming one night and you realise that you're dreaming at that very exact moment. Referring to How Stuff Works, there's an exact moment of clarity that you can't, for example, possibly be seeing someone deceased, since he or she had already died and that's when you realised that you are dreaming. There's also people mentioning they dream of seeing themselves sleeping or doing things. According to the researchers, they are called Out-of-Body Experience, an experience such a person is seeing himself as if he's located somewhere outside of it.

So, what exactly is a LUCID DREAM?

Think of your normal dreams, the bizarre plots and non-narrative structure that leaves you scrambling for words to try to explain it to a friend. Now put yourself back in the dream but imagine the details. You're flying through the air, but you can look at the clouds and the ground below, feel the wind whooshing against your skin, smell the clean air. And in the dream, you think, "I'm dreaming that I'm flying."
- HowStuffWorks
The ultimate idea of lucid dreaming is total control of your own dream. In your own dreams, you could consciously order you own inner mind of theater to do anything that you wanted, exactly as you wanted. Let's say you wanted to go so much to Venice, Italy, (maybe after watching some scenes from a movie or a travel guide show) your dreaming self would obey your own "waking mind".

There are many ways of getting one. You could try recording your own dreams in a book, or napping which a process of waking up early and sleeping back after 30 minutes. This would blur the border of waking up, and dreaming, making Lucid Dreams possible.

Obnoxiously Obvious

Today, is just like another normal days, added up with the NO-ACTIVITIES again as usual. I'm feeling tired despite the fact that I just sit up in front of the television and played some games. Maybe it's time for me to play a real game instead, you know those games where people move here and there a lot. And if you were talking to me about games, I'm more than happy to elaborate about my game collections, and not the real athletes game. Call me hodge-podge, but I still don't take serious interest in games, except for badminton and bowling. Sometimes it irritates me when people asked why I'm not into football? Then they would assume the WORST thing they could think of. Come on people, IS THERE WRITTEN ANYWHERE THAT A MAN MUST WATCH AND TOOK INTEREST OF FOOTBALL SO THAT THEY CAN BE A FULL FLEDGE MAN?! The answers are obvious. I don't dislike football, just not interested, thanks to vast number of teams out there making me hard to choose which club to support. That's why I don't bother at all if Chelsea lose, or Man U wins. So, spare me the oh-look-at-him-he-doesn't-watch-football-so-that makes-him-a-weirdo look.

If you do something slightly out of the normality, that doesn't make you a totally queer person. Besides, being normal is too boring for me. So, rid off the stigma where people think that football makes a man. I don't think so, and oh well, I'm not the type to really bother what other people say, so I might just ignore them bluntly.

Does that answer you, Mr. Smartypants?
