god is great!..
how fast time flies..
it's been smooth sailin' this past year..
alhamdullilah..

i don't need that plate anymore..

and the wonders of ramadhan still bedazzle me..

season 1..

i'll always remember 21 aug 2003..
it was a thursday..
i started my career at toys 'r' us jurong point..

first few thoughts..
"why am i doin' here?"..
"i should be a teacher!"..
"damn n.u.s! damn n.i.e!"
no worries.. i've just got an acceptance letter from s.i.m..
i think it was degree in english and english literature..
everythin' will be as ambitioned..

but two days later..
dad came to my room and dropped a bomb on me..
had a small talk and wanted me to forego the course..
we didn't have the money..
devastated as my dreams were dashed..
i understood and i cried..
yes i cried..
and it was my birthday..
23 aug 2003..

ironically it was me who suggested to wan.. a school buddy of mine..
to apply for s.i.m.. we applied together..
both got accepted.. wan in a different course..
but i pulled out whereas wan pursued his degree..
life has its fair share of funny turns..

it will always be marred as the worst birthday in my life..
and i had to drag myself to work for afternoon shift..
second day on the job..

now look where i am..
it took seven years to this place..
don't get me wrong.. i'm not braggin'..
i'm forever thankful to those who gave me the opportunities..

just that.. let's regard each year as a season..
how many more seasons will there be?..
time for greener pastures maybe..

happy birthday dude!..
29 ain't 30..

august itenary..

finally done with y.o.g reservist..
dumbshit static duty..
refusal to acknowledge it as sentry stands..
cos the word wasn't mentioned at all by anybody during my tenure there..
til' i returned work..

ironically i'll miss that y.o.g adventure.. slightly..

back to site project..
lego sale..
birthday wrap.. (subjected to availability)..
same august itenary since '07..

maybe next august's itenary will be different for me..
maybe..

and i find that damn demi lovato's damn irritatin'..
then again it's just my opinion..

sixth sense no more..

curses shyamalan..
you have done injustice for the last time..
you have smeared a great franchise with your ignorance..
pompousness and plain stupidity..

the last airbender..
the cartoon series.. one of the best i've seen this decade..
i was excited when i saw its movie gazette for the first time last year..
but that excitement was shortlived and turned to sorrow..
when i saw your name as the director..

my first thought.. shit.. shyamalan's gonna ruin it..
me and my big mouth..
no wonder the critics didn't even rate the movie.. or couldn't..

let's just hope the sequel's better..
but get him out of the director's seat..

fire nation = india?
what were you thinkin'? urgh..

count your lucky stars shyamalan..
that fastin' month just started..
i could have done more damage to you than what you just did..

and..
SELAMAT BERPUASA..
to all muslims in the world..

the armadillo effect..

reservist started last wed..
s.y.o.g 2010..
STUPID youth olympic games 2010..
need to secure the olympic village at n.t.u..

i cannot bear static duty..
i can feel my brain cells decayin' each second..
brainless activity.. ooh the torment..
ain't sure which one's worse..
this deployment or that untterly idiotic msk assignment in '08..

then again.. the only plus point about this project..
i got the see the athletes up close..
wonders if they are really youths?..
some are freakin' large..

head ops was a doofus..
he's nice and everythin'..
but got tongue-tied when queried..
so don't try me..

and what on earth is an armadillo doin' at n.t.u?..
i thought it's an african mammal..
or what another reservist mate commented..
thinkin' that armadillos are from uganda.. wow?..
it was an amazin' sight..

another amazin' sight..
out of the blue..
bro was under my block last thu nite..

appreciated his effort..
it was just a short meet-up..
cos i needed to be some place else later that nite..
wished it could be longer though..
like ol' times.. i still miss that..

the only reason i'm watchin' n.d.p this year on tv..
is that he's in it..
marchin' in the g.o.h police contingent..
so proud of him..

besides that..
who gives a damn about aug 9 anyway?

that birthday..

03 Aug 2000..
Ten years on..
And I can still remember..

That Pizza Hut treat..
Those pair of earrings..
And our first..

How are you?
Where are you?

Whatever it is..
Hope you are doin' fine..
Cos I am..

Happy Birthday..
