Night Safari. Night Safary.

Ok. i still prefer da latter. is it just me or is night safari meant to be spelled such? anyway, i kinda figure i was wrong abt it. it's night safari. with an "i" at da end instead.

anyway, it was much doses of fun earlier on. yatz has been very dutifully brighten up da occassion. we had to wear white coz we wanted to scare da nocturnal animals. but i guess we were more nervous than da animals.

i kinda appreciate for da whole experience. really laps it with all da shows tat i watch on Animal Planet. in fact, i knew wat to expect and look out for. thou, i can never be da next Jeff Corwin. but heck, i sure can appreciate it beta still. thanks Jeff!!

surprisingly, i got home today w/o taking da cab despite leaving da place rather late. i know for sure. me and yatz are lucky ppl today. she get to catch da train and i get to catch a bus from AMK Station. as for da rest, they were still waiting for cabs when we took da bus to AMK. now, tat's something i proud of.

and speaking of 26. it's becomin a rather significant number. i turn 26 already. gosh...!!! and today is 26 january. and by da stroke of midnite, i've made maself into something else. dun worry. i didn't turn into a walking 'mandarin oranges'. i know. CNY festivals and such. one of those periods when ma Vitamin C intake increases unexpectedly from consuming mandarin oranges.

well. it came. it happened. best of all. it's 10hrs flight hours away. and i'm not der to see it thru. tsk-tsk.

quick. i need to finish dis. here's one random note.

for da love of all, it's love for all.

bounce with me

kick off to a new start i would say. despite da constant flow of multiple sms-es, i actually found maself sleepin quite peacefully. well, had to rush thru da mornin to prepare family's agenda for a short family vacation minus yours truly..!

i must add tat i had a pleasant surprise from crappy appy. who would have thought tat he would be around da same area as me durin ma errand running! so much for a 'personalize birthday greetings' from him aye.

well. imma end it quick here for now. still errand running!!

Ta..!!

i'm such a booger...!!

i just got home from work. i was hopin work would continue till sunrise which equals to overtime for me. but alas. it didn't turn out such. SO go home as per normal lah.

on ma way home, random thots hit upon me.

where was i 1 year ago on dis day? i was mournin for late grandma.

where was i 10 years ago on dis day? i was still da cheeky one in skol. wit O Levels in mind still ok.

where was i 20 years ago on dis day? errr. prolly on ma first few days at Heng A Khe Bong School. yesh. i went to a chinese skol durin ma primary skol education.

so where am i now? on bed. just got home from work. and abt time to sleep it off.

still dun get it.

ok. how abt dis.

i remember when i was in Sec 1, i wanna have a gathering wit ma fellow classmates. had everything prepared out. food. drinks. etx. funny thing is. i didn't turn up. yes. i organised it. and i didn't turn up. naturally, everyone was asking where am i? so Mrs Krishna called me up and i had tears swellin in ma eyes while i told her dis few lines.

"i'm sorry ma'am. i'm on two weeks mc. i got chicken pox."

yes. how aptly. easily said, it's one of da most memorable things i have of Thomson Sec life. plus a whole load of others. makes me break a smile and shake ma head in disbelief. a good belief. i hope.

ahh. such wonders. i shall look forward.

i shall forget abt all da dislikes i have of life. focus on hopes and dreams i have of da future. put on a smile and be confident abt where to head to. even if not confident, just fake it till i do!!

till den,

Happy Birthday.

2009 - Fuel For Life

Thu, 01 Jan 2009 11:39:54 GMT

yes! it has certainly come to dis point whereby we all get over da hang-over(s) and hit back to reality after much pomp and celebrations all due after 2009 kicks in abt 21hrs ago. hey. i'm not tat late either. i'm suppose to sleep in the whole day instead.

anyway, tat aside. 2008 has been a rather unpredicatble yet enriching experience all together. it has been mostly memorable. no doubt. oh crap. just leave 2008 as it is.

firstly, 2009 is here to stay. i'm gonna enjoy it while i still can. despite da economy gloom and all. have faith. we'll tide dis over. shout-out to yatie for bein such an adorable person in ma life. if ya still dun know whom i'm talkin abt, ya missin out on somethin here. thou she in a very awesome and steady relation wit ma third cuzz thingy. indeed, she's a very special person in ma life still. i'm very much glad i knew her all dis while. and she literally blow ma mind. oh wait. she blasted in ma mind. and to top it off, she got me a kick-arse new year gift. every year. year in year out. and dis time, it's a 'diesel - fuel for life' parfume. and last year only, she got me a huge bottle of davidoff parfume. hey. wait a sec. both parfume starts wit "D". D for Diesel. D for Davidoff. hmmm. i think i shld get her a D-cup size bra instead. teehee. sorry yatz. cheeky me had to do it.

anyway, as always. i spent 2008 wit yatz and a whole lot of taka gangsta. oh wait. make it taka ppl instead. its all good. funny thing is, i dun get it why almost everybody says i look and sound just like Russell Dominique Peters. yup. it's Russell Peters all ritey. i just dun get da similiarity. tsk. looks like i just need to bask in dis new found 'fame'. it ain't funny thou.

oh yeah. not to forget, countdown wit ma brotha AhJak was great. turns out he's a childhood friend. oh. i knew tat when we got to know each other 2yrs back. "siapa tak kenal budak toa payoh kan." isha's black pepper marinated chickenn was spicy and good. not to mention 200 pieces of hot-dogs. i went doggy crazy at da bbq last nite. party poppers. blast! such random acts. and i dig da dice game. feels good to be banker at 6am!!

oh well. imma see if anyone has put up pixs of last nite/dis morning. other than tat, it's dinner time for ma fish tank occupants.

oh yeah. just a quick shout-out to Alfie. Happy Birthday Alfie. it's ya birthday tml. how could i forget. i've never missed it ever-since i knew ya since we were 6. so fast forward 20 yrs, damm! ya have grown crappy old appy. still. i've always loved ya. ya know i've always meant good. towards ya. other than tat, i wish ya best of everything ya heart desires. ma love and prayers are wit ya. always.

here's another random thot. together with diesel's fuel for life, makes me feel tat i've da right attitude and right amount of energy to cement out 2009.

wish me luck. on tat random thot.

I'm True

oh glory. i know no one would be in here since da begining of time. look at ma last update. it was written on new year's day ie 01 January 2008. to sum it up, i was either shot and bleed and survived critically along da way or i just lost in ma own world. honestly, neither is true. ok. tat doesn't give me much option either.

anyway, it's december 2008. an almost good ol' 12 months would have pass by. heck. i didn't knew i had been gone online tat long. no wonder some of ma homies were asking me, what happend to Defjam. all is well. i think.

ok. i dun know where to start. ok. lets start wit family. family has been keepin it real. da nephew is all grown up now. he just hit his 15month birthday and is growing all big and strong. and yes, his hyper-activeness is takin its toll on da family. ya dun wanna mess wit him. mom and popz are doin well. age is catchin up wit dem. and so they are takin each day as it is. it's da usual atmosphere at home. just slightly messy wit toys and wreackage left behind by ma nephew. da best time is when he's asleep. trust me.

ok. work has been goin on great durin the beginnin of da year untill recently when we were hit wit da global recession. i guess no one was spared either. work has drop to low gear wit zero over-time and company is implementing stupidous cost-cutting measures. heck. as long i got a job, tat matters. who's gonna put da dough on da table if i lose ma job. da government will settle it for me? heck. we'll just wait till next year when da Budget is presented in Parliament. till den, pay cut is beta than job cut. really. its beta. so fellow workers out der, keep low profile and secure ya job. wit a blow. silly me!

i had memories. joy and sorrow. got to know more frens. and i did lose a fren too. a freak motorbike accident while he was on his way to work. yes. Cpl Halim was ma squad mate. such a pity. a very humble and jovial person by nature. tsk. ma bio dad's uncle passed away recently too. thou i'm not close to him, i've always enjoyed his smiley nature and good ol' advises and such. wit his 11 children by his deathbed, it heartens me to know tat it's family afterall. despite our goodness and at times not so good nature. lastly, ma beloved grandmother passed away on 17 January 2008 at ard 5ish inda morning. she leaves behind 9 children and tens tens of grandkids and great grandkids and those whom loved her for who she is. ma grandfather is still alive and kickin. he took it really hard initially. he is so quiet and lost in his thoughts. he has shown improvements and has even cracked jokes wit us. and to us, tat's a first time..!! coz he never makes jokes or anything. a straight face no nonsense fatherly figure. ya know how indians are like rite. rite.

perhaps its due to granny's death tat i pulled away from ma regular lifestyle. and to add tat ma birthday was 2 days later and i had actually took da whole week off to celebrate wit ma family but gotta cancel it. lots of things need to get done. the burial preparations. prayers. etc. so yeah. and while i'm writin dis, it reminds me tat next year its gonna be one year since granny left us. i really missed her. i know. i cried really hard and bad. i wasn't shy. i just cried ma heart out. for everything she has done for me. she has lived a beautiful life. it's only durin da last 10yrs of her life tat she was down wit old age sickness.

anyway, all those aside. things are as it is. i'm glad da family is all ritey. i keep gettin dis odd feelin tat at times some of da things i do disappoint others. i have ma reasons. if ya know me well enuf, ya know i won't do anythin w/o reasons. even if it's stupidious one. its still a reason rite. so forgive me buddy if i've wronged ya. but ma reasons are such and i will never disclose it till i'm at ma deathbed. and when tat happens, i hope ya'll be by ma side too. and do ask me why i did such. age is catchin up wit me too. but ya still older than i am. ya know who ya are. whom i'm talkin abt.

anyway, i would love to update further but havin fever flu and cough on eve of Eid isn't really ma fancy idea of celebration and relatives visiting. still. i did ok. i went relatives visiting. i'm gettin beta. thru self medicate. and if i dun recover fully by tml mornin, gotta visit ma friendly Raffles Medical outlet. staff privilages. rocks!

till ma next entry. which would be pretty soon. coz i just bought maself a laptop. and tat wouldn't leave me any excuses of not updating. oh shut. i shldn't have mentioned abt da new laptop. tsk. oh well. till den,

I'm True.

It is not how much you do, but how much love you put in the doing."

Tue, 01 Jan 2008 12:03:37 GMT

definitely, i really got to start writing again. it's such a novelty tat i've totally forgotten all abt it. ma first love. for writin. endlessly. tat is. well, just abt any other place, ppl will certainly write abt how 2007 has left and looking so much forward to year 2008. heck. i could still vividly remember wat it was like 8 years ago when everywhere ppl were buggin abt da bug. yes. da millenium bug. abt how computers might just run berzerk on us. how computer data could fail and our fellow computer smarties are bein totally put at test on their level skills and knowledge best.

well, to err is human. to forgive is divine. if ma Prophet Muhammad can forgive his ppl, why can't i rite?! problem is, i ain't no Prophet to begin wit. ma heart wasn't cut open and da 7 sins removed from ma soul. so if ya think comin up to me if a smile gonna work, ya gotta work somethin else. beta. and faster. i may got da time. i dun think ya do. hmmm. kinda ironic i must say how come i'm talkin abt dis. heck.

anyway, i gotta say. year 2007 has been da most eventful yet. rite down to family business. hmmm. i shall save da details coz it's a family affair but those who knew me personally real well will understand wat da fuck i'm talkin abt. well, i gotta hit home now. ma head is still pumpin real hard after last nite's countdown at east coast. thanks to putri and frens for makin it a memorable one. and i've made a new fren on da first day of 2008. thanks niz for lookin out for me too. or shld i say i need to look out more for maself. last but certainly ain't da least, yatz has been da most adorable kick arse partner i could have for. ya really stood out for me. no more free ice-creams for ya. just tong seng will do! teehee. thanks yatz for spendin 07/08 wit me. i know ya all good. and no, ya not da yati tat ma mom's massager wanna hook me up wit. tsk. anyway, here's a big start to 2008!

oh yeah. month of birthdays are comin up real and fast. hit me!

greetings! well, a certainly long overdue entry which certainly deserves an update. and no it wasn't even a hiatus. i was just wasn't rite on time.

anyway, today i shall congratulate maself for making it thru. work tat is. today marks 7 months of aviation journey in ma life and boy am i damm proud! not to mention, da exams, courses and hard knocks i got along dis amazing path. funny thing is, ma buddies were suppose to go out for dinner after work today but no one seems to remember da significance of today's date besides da return leg of A380. anyway, i shall pamper maself rite and get on wit some food binge! oh yeah. HRO 2007 is comin rite up!

well, a decent entry it is. till da next one. i miss ma eldest sista.

greetings! life has been givin me it's green pastures for a reason. life thinks i shld just answer da call and lose da weight. lookin at da rate i'm goin, some farmers could really use ma pastures! anyway, work has been of ma upmost importance of late. no more late nite. thou i do end work really late at nite! but if ya must really know, 28july07 got outing to Zouk. so ya know wat to do ah! anyway, shift work isn't really tat bad. i still get ma sunday off thou. for now tat is. and to be honest, really honest, fixin up da aircraft isn't such a difficult job afterall. some common sense, a handy toolbox and a female partner just made it all a breeze to work! and yes, i got a female technician as ma partner and she's just a year younger than me. but dun let da 'female' title fool ya, she sure packed a mean punch when calls for it. i've seen it maself!

well, i won't write much for now. i've got stuff to do later on at ma relative's place. so here's a nice ol' skol pic of maself at work. till da next entry, thanks to 'appy' for bringin me to watch Clueless Potter. go figure.

peace from da gangsta. as always. i'm just shy.
