Ground zero.all over again.

it's like Dejavu.

it's quite surreal how things can change overnight.
i received a phone call this morning, and i could easily summarize it this way:

Ground zero.
------------------------------

Mr Ed, doesn't want me to go to Australia. he wants me to go to the best university in America. He wants to meet him on the 2nd of January. He wants me to spend all of my leftover time on my US application.


And i can't help but laugh at my life, for forever being a successful university applicant, but not a university student yet.
there was uk. and then australia. and then i have to just forget about em both, and start with usa.
time is not my concern. i have no problem graduating later or earlier,whatsoever. I've already come up with awesome plans of what am i gonna do with my holidays, if it is prolonged again. travel travel travel.

well in any case, this shouldn't be a surprise to many. it's ainul dammit.noo,i'm not complaining,i'm actually quite eager to start studying, but at the same time, i know i can learn so much with the spare time i might have by traveling.
I don't know what God's plans are, but it seems all wonderful to me. it boggles me because i feel so undeserving of all the goodness.

anyways, i will be needing help from my usa friends. pretty pleaseeeeeeeeeeeee.

p/s-i just needed to tell the world this, so that everyone will understand how my life will be like in the next 6 months or so.

ah my fickle self have done it again.....

i just read the economist and i have tons of things to shareeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.
this doesnt count as a post!

hey ho lets go

This blog has become too personal for my liking and i'm pretty sure i'll regain my awesome momentum in sydney( procrasticationnnn). ah well, having said that, i'm going on a sabbathical leave, away from the blogging world till i rediscover my real purpose to blogging.

Don't get me wrong, i have very high tolerance for personal blogs as it is the most convenient way to update my nosy self with the well being of my acquaintances. However, i've never perceived myself to be a subject of my own writings. It seems like writing about myself might potentially bore me to death. there i go again,i feel like the all-singing-all-dancing crap, who thinks the world cares about what she eats for dinner, and frankly speaking, i sometimes do.

everyone has their vain spot. everyone sometimes, tend to find themselves looking at the reflection of their beautiful faces, in the big mirror they have placed themselves before.everyone tends to speak out without realising it's a bunch of nonsense. no, i'm not your typical everyday cynic. I just get very negative sometimes. even in the most peaceful state of mind, i can find myself criticizing ruthlessly,perhaps an innate thing.


Nevertheless, i've mentioned about a few names in my previous post. they are authors of the best fiction ever. classic writers. i just Rediscovered classic, and at such a late age( bummer). notice the "re" in discovered. indeed, i have read many classics but never appreciated them.

am not sure why i wasn't particularly interested in classics. I would find comfort in saying my generation have modern literature to resort to as an alternative source of delectable eye candyyyy. After reading a bunch of classics, i find it a waste to read anything else, and am determined to devote my time finishing all the classics in the world even if it takes forever( i can be extreme at times).

As a matter of fact, i only wanted to talk about Alice's adventure in Wonderland. Being me, i divert so easily(focus ainul!). somehow this post reminds of my ridiculous lack of focus in econs class( and many others fyi).
This post is long enough to make me barf.
if readers have already been driven away after the first two sentences, writing about my awesome book review here might be a waste of good reading material.
This therefore is the second last post for the rest of the year( two more weeks to new year?)

Lewis Carroll
Carlo Collodi
A.A Milne
W.Somerset Maugham


Will explain the significance of the above on the next post. In the mean time, i hope someone would care to pick a name and tell me what they know about him/her, by heart.

dust collectors anyone?

I haven't had my share of spare time over the course of staying here, luckily, I found some this week.

To fully utilise it, i read 3 books in 2 days. as dusk emerges at approximately 5,consequencing to longer nights, i've failed to keep my heavy eyelids open past 10. Not that i haven't tried, and it was comparable to dipping your hands to boil in acid(exaggeration never hurt the storyteller)Yes eyelids are delecate things my friends.

I just bought an awesome new exotic decoration for my room and i think it'd be nice to get some for some people.however, since i've been here for more than 2 months now, i've become accustomed to the exotic egyptians souvenirs, which results to my inability to decide what to get my friends, or whether i should even get them anything. they seem so common. but if there are any request, i'd be delighted to attend to it.

for instance, if you've been longing to touch pharaoh's beard, i'd try to hunt for some during my visit to his tomb. or if you're in dying need of miniature pyramids, they sell them all over the streets. perhaps you just feel like putting something egyptian in your room, just as a reminder of your Awesome friend (me), no problem. but i can't guarantee i'd be able to pass throught the customs with a live-camel and a mummified organ you suddenly feel like hanging on your bedroom wall .no sirreee.btw, since i lost my phone, my new egyptian number is: +20125334450.

Malaysian number remains unchanged.

P/s- jannah, i know this is uber random anddddd it's very very very the tak malu for me to ask this. but we should trade souvenirs. lets trade awesome egypt and japan dust collecting whatever it is we can get on the streets.pls?

bamboozle

I feel like lying.

Once upon a time, a fiddler found a doodle on a big wall in a jungle. The doodle was a doodling of a poogle and the poogle looked boggled. the fiddler saw a riddle next to the doodle and tried to unravel it. But his brains got jumbled and he started to juggle.he jiggled and jaggled the animals started to giggle. he fell down and found an odd pair of goggles and thought he should google it. on google, it stated that the goggles belonged to the poodle in the doodle on the wall in the jungle.

what a load bamboozle.

Thursday is Friday in Middle East

Today is a good day.It's the last day of the week and class before a longggggg eventful holiday(eid Adha).
I'm very excited to witness the anticipated celebration first hand. Here, EId Adha is the BIG eid instead of Eid Fitr.

It seems logical that way. They understand the meaning of each celebration differently. For Eid Fitr, They celebrate Ramadhan, not Syawal. For Instance, During Ramdhan do they hang all the colorful lamps infront of every building and every night, the streets are flooded by people performing tawarikh as there isn't enough space in the mosque. On the 27th night especially, my sister said that, if you wanted to pray in the mosque, you will have to come as early as 12 noon, and sleep there till dusk arrives. During Ramadhan, generosity is at its peak. Freshly withdrawn money is randomly given out on the streets by the wealthy.
Because it is the holy month, a month of prayer, people celebrate it's presence, not it's departure(eid).

Eid Adha is a different story. Eid Adha celebrates muslims' loyalty to their Lord. Therefore, The meaning within the day itself is what we're celebrating.

that pretty much explains my excitement I guess. being present to celebrate a big festival in a different scene, surrounding, with different people,namely Egyptians.

It's probably disturbing to hear cows and sheeps being slaughtered on the streets ,oh how dirty the streets would be. In a more extreme event, Some slaughter cows in the building lobby, and if you wanted to walk up, you'd have to climb and grasp anything in your sight just to avoid the river of blood.

however, the miracle behind this event is that:

Rain starts pouring down after the completion of the event every single time. Yes, Every single time.Consequently, washing off the sea of blood off the streets.
It's simply mind-boggling, and it is this occasion I wish to witness with my own eyes.

Oh how different it would be in Malaysia. I'd feel absolutely indifferent about Eid Adha. it'd be just another school holiday i look forward to(simple because there isn't school). And for a few years now, we haven't been celebrating Eid Fitr and Eid Adha with the complete set of family members, so it's rather sad.

anyways, word of the day:

Bamboozle:

it rhymes with fiddle doodle poodle juggle, and lotsa other fun-to-say words.

It's ridiculous, Which religion in the right mind teaches Violence, and who in the right state of mind would ever want to follow such.

-on the mumbai attack.

As a muslim, I'm terribly devastated that these criminals had to use our name in disguise of their lust for Violence.

Alex

I just got back from Alexandria and am uber excited that I chose Sydney.

Alexandria is a coastal city in Egypt and it is said that it is more of an european city, only it belonged to the Egyptians. Truly beautiful.

I'm switching off my blog for awhile starting tomorrow. It will be made available to readers probably after Eid-Adha. Till then.

I am going to work my arse off to find a way to teleport.

It's important to be able to travel the world in a minute these days.

For the first time in my life.

i hesitated saying:

I want to be an economist .

:O

Malaysia,tanah airku.

Sayiddah from Bangladesh: I love Malaysia and am planning to make it my second home, when I retire.It's good for my kids, I want them to grow up in an Islamic country.

My advice:
Sorry to say, but I will not allow my beloved new classmate to do it.
Malaysia is far from Islamic, Malaysia is far from being a good place for your kids to grow.

would you agree with me?if no, why?

An eye opener

These are the kids I see playing on the streets near my Language school.

Just yesterday, I saw an even smaller girl, running to the small shop next to the language centre to buy some everyday-medicine, perhaps for her mum. Imagine that.

As she was walking back, I offered her some food,but she refused,looking very shy. To her, I was a stranger, as I did not speak arabic. Kids here usually aren't afraid of being approached, but I just didn't know what to say or how to say it, so she might have felt a little odd. She ran back, in the middle of the road, and I saw her fall flat on her face. She got up, as if nothing happened, and continued running those baby steps untill her image was no longer visible to my awesome eyes.

In malaysia, babies like this, cry every day. falling down is one parent's worst fear. they have the best privileges. At that age,they should. That girl I saw, was no bigger than 3 years. Who lets their 3 year old child out on the streets. In malaysia, 6 year olds risked being kidnapped and raped. It's a crazy world we live in, and it's getting crazier by the minute.

these kids are poverty stricken, but I see them smiling generously as i look at them playing. They laugh when I showed them the picture I took. I can't help but feel they deserve better.who wouldn't?

People asked why I come to Egypt just to learn Arabic when you can do it in Malaysia. This, to me,is a good enough reason. getting out of my comfort zone and witnessing daily, how priviliged I am,is really what I need to put some sense in my mind. Not just for me to be extra grateful, but for me to actually adjust my priorities in life.

We find God in the most maginificent ways when we try.

Open your minds, don't be another Victim of this treacherous world.

Fun Fact of the Day

Today we're gonna talk about a fun fact.

If you read my previous posts, I mentioned something about my arabic lessons being interesting but of little help.
Therefore I decided to change to another language centre.
the New language centre is somehow better, even though i was in a class of 3 only.
My Ustaz as they call the teachers here, (Ustazah for female teachers), is a superb teacher.
So on the first day of my lesson, he told me a very interesting fact regarding numbers,numbers we use in our daily lives, in mathematics, in road signs, in addresses, in food recipes.

Generally most of us know that there are different numbers such as Greek numbers I.E- I, II,III,IV..... and the normal numbers we write everyday I.E 1,2,3,4.....
However, one very confused and mistaken perception is that The numbers we see in arabic newspapers and countries are arabic numbers, when it is actually Hindi/persian.

yeahs, ۱۲۳..... is not arabic numbers. They are hindi or persian, i can't quite remember.

But that's not quite the surprise.
The most unbelievable thing i found out, but is 100% fact and not fiction is that the real arabic numbers are the ones we use everyday, I.E 1,2,3,4,5,6.....

Everyone looked in disbelief because it is a norm that we usually say
I,II,III ...=greek numbers,
۱,۲,۳=arabic,
1,2,3,4= English.

The truth is, English is a thief of numbers.not that it's something to be vulgar about or anything like that.
It is said that, as the arabs traded with the hindis, they traded knowledge as well. Therefore, they started using hindi numbers and it became a common practice, just as the so-called English numbers were taken from the arabs.

So remember guys

I,II,III...- greek
۱۲۳....-Hindi
1,2,3,4- Arabic.

Get you facts right :)

Unbelievable?Believe it.
Ainul's Believe it or not.

Friends for-evahhhhh

I just read something that made me reminisce my primary school years.

My friend once said:

"Ainul, You can't live to please everyone."

It was true, and I learnt that too little too late as being the I-please-everyone-ainul ,had cost me my best student award. Sekolah Rendah only right?BIG DEAL.

It was. it still makes me sad untill now, but the silver lining is, I have a friend who still speaks of how disgruntled he is about the decision the school made. Don't get me wrong, I don't find pleasure in knowing a friend believes in me more than I do or the fact that someone actually thinks the school made the wrong decision. It's just enlightening how people just seem to look up to you after all those years and still remember the small but significant things about you.

Those friends are endangered and face gradual extinction. They deserve to be kept and preserved for eternity.

I've yet to enlighten you about the purpose of my trip.
Patience oh readers.

I will never drive in Egypt.

I just had to put this here now.
In my previous post,i had mentioned a line about notorious Egyptian drivers.
They drive like hooligans.

The streets/roads here are pretty wide,in comparison to Malaysia. The normal main road,usually consists of 3 wide lanes. however, the drivers here, seem to come up with a doubling system. 3 wide lanes=6 small lanes. Cars are inches away from each other. They hon every 5 seconds and I'm not exaggerating. Almost all..on second thought, ALL cars are dented. Even the latest most luxurious cars can be seen with scratches and ugly dents. You can never find a car which gives signals. Side mirrors are usually there for deco.

The funniest thing was, as I was about to cross the street, I saw many weird vehicles from Army Trucks to donkeys all of which will annoyingly press their hon as they pass by just to warn pedestrians and other road users. at least, that's what I think their reason is. I was just laughing my ass off at the sight of that, you just have to witness it yourself to understand. Little did I know, that one way street is just another "i do what I want Street". So, after laughing hard, I saw another car, coming from the opposite direction,zooming through, honking every 3 seconds on that one way street.
It was hillarious at that spot, because it totally takes you by surprise. Even the presence of donkeys is somewhat peculiar. What more, a speeding car which happily speeds its way in the opposite direction of a current of reckless egyptian drivers.

If you think the traffic in Malaysia is gila, You'd go bananas if you drive here. and Believe me, I drive my mom and sister to work sometimes, so I KNOW first hand, how gila KL traffic is.

The things you see when you travel. Gawrsh, what a beautiful world.

INteresting is Misr(Egypt)

The first thing I want to write is about my Awesome Arabic lessons.
For those who are anticipating the wild egyptian adventures and stories about incredible people i met, your wait will prolong a lil longer.

My first lesson was at this place called the nile school or something very close to that. It was interesting rather than helpful.
we started with arabic alphabets which i've learnt more than 10 years ago. and saying that somehow makes me feel old. thus explaining the unhelpful bit of the lesson.
it was incredibly interesting because there were people from all over the world.
there were russians, about 6 of them.
a New Zealander.
Two British. Pakistani British.
I am the only Malaysian.

The two Pakistani looked about my age, maybe 1 or 2 years older but one has 3 kids, another has one. mmhmm married with kids.
Both were wearing burqa, and if you do not know what burqa is,it's hijab plus a piece of cloth that covers your face.
One of them, said she's been a muslim for quite some time but after her marriage and having a child, she got lazy. She can't even read the Quran, she has somehow very little knowledge of Islam, and just realised that she needed to start now. Yet she has already worn the Burqa.
I know this for a fact that not all people in Burqa are pious, or have extremely deep knowledge about Islam, but not many share the same knowledge, so here i am telling you, do not judge a book by its cover.

The New Zealander was so passionate about Islam which is not a surprise.
One thing that really interests me is when she said, she reads the Quran, and finds it amazing that what is said in the Quran is really happening around us today. which is incredibly true.
Like the fall of many western banks recently, Believe me or not,it is stated in the Quran, you just have to to read and understand it properly. i've yet to open the Quran and look. No worries, I will write more about this for those who are somehow in disbelief.
The Russians don't speak even a word of English so it was rather difficult to communicate with them. Most of them wore Burqa, but as they flipped it over their heads, they took out their pocket mirror and glanced at it every 5 minutes. Nevertheless,They were really beautiful people.

That's not even a quarter of the interesting people I met here.

I wouldn't compare myself to the boy in "into the wild" as I'm not lost nor am I looking for something I'm absolutely clueless about. But I would say it's a journey "into the rough" as there are many interesting things and people I learn from whilst living it roughly. ROUGHLY YES. Don't believe me? wait and see.

it's a true adventure and I'm glad it will still be for quite some time. From notoriously reckless drivers to beautiful mosques surrounded by brown dillapidated buildings. LOVE

p/s- whaddaya know, i did talk about people rather than my lesson.gawrshh

Coldplay :)

Coldplay = love.

lotsa love.

Loved love loving.

all the love.

Egypt.

Greetings from Egypt.

I miss home but not as much as I expected. It's only the third day anyway. The plane ride was not so bad and am enjoying myself tremendously here.

The only thing that is bothering me right now is the thought that I won't be meeting my loved ones ( other than my two darling sisters here) for the next 3 months. I miss family and friends.

3rd day, and there's so much to say about Egypt. Wait till I learn arabic!

Ainul out and needing a shower!

leaving on a jet plane.

i'm here to announce my departure to egypt.

the itinerary:

2 full months all over egypt.
1 month in london.
During that month, if i have the convenience to visit ireland and scotland, I will definitely do so. (reminder to: vidhya, razeen,mimi and iman)

Many are asking why go to egypt for such a long period.
I shall write when I'm not in such a rush.

I must say, i'm excited about the prospects of arabic lessons and a series of iced mocha consumption at costa cafe. don't even get me started on london.
Email me if anything :

ainulm@gmail.com

Please pray for my safety. You'll be missed.

Rayaaa.

I didn't exactly have an open house cause open house=huge makan makan event with a vast number of people in it.
However I did have a small one. I apologise dearly to those I did not invite, or clumsily forgot to. It wasn't because you guys aren't special enough, but I have my rational reasons. You can ask me personally. honestly, I hate leaving some people off the list. For starters, I invited people by groups, so that if I have my hands full, they have someone to talk to.



Like most raya summary I've read, my raya wasn't all that. The highlight of raya was my visit to my grandma's grave. I miss her. Although raya wasn't as eventful as before, it definitely did not lack substance. I met friends and family, discovered old love in a new dimension, sharpened my self-esteem and witnessed profound moral values. I hope everyone all over the world had a great 1st Syawal, and will continue enjoying what's left of it.

Ainul out and about.

p.s- I posted that picture without authorization from the individuals in it. Sorry, but in my defense, that was the best uno stacko angle.

Happy Eid Mubarak, Feast on this.

Name: Iqbal
Who is he: Newly Crowned most Adorable Boy.
Known as: The reason we go out for Raya.

Signature Action: Constant smiling face.

Why we love him?
He's sooooo shy,he never stops smiling and he lovesss the cam-wait for it-ERA!camera!

Latest accomplishment?
Flooding my camera.

Crimes,if any?
Non yet, but if it was against the law to be ridiculously adorable, he'd be sentenced for life!

What does the family think of him?
We wanna kidnap him back here.

Final Verdict?
Indescribably and Insanely sidjfliwur2p93780238ruwrjiorzi2h!!!Iqbal, please come here more often.

p/s- Since he is the 8th wonder of the world after all, I thought, this is more of a public thing rather than a personal one.

We are Intellectuals at our worst.

Malaysian politics

I have been avoiding from writing about Malaysian politics because I cannot be objective and unemotional about it.

tell me, am i to blame?
Is it so hard to recognise who is the bad guy when in Malaysia, a fellow blogger was arrested and will be detained for two years without trial?
for what reason?insulting islam?
Have you even read his blog to really identify whether he did insult Islam?
Does the government think we are all moron went it comes to religion that we do not know how to differentiate an insult to something else?
yes when it comes to religion, Malaysians are sensitive but they don't know anything about it to begin with.

Yes I'm talking about my hero Raja Petra.

Does the Malaysian Government think we're all dumb when they keep on contradicting themselves like ridiculous morons?
First you say, harga petrol naik because satu dunia naik.
now that the price of oil GLOBALLY has gone down, you cakap don't turunkan because taknak Petronas lose their profit.
did any of our minister learn economics?
Do they know how inflation and deflation works?It's basic economics, if they don't know they should go fly kites. and at the looks of our economy, Kite runners should already be flooding the streets right now.
Oh wow, dah turun lagi 10 cents. I'm very bersyukur, cause that's what malaysians should do right?be grateful that the government has given them at least something?

I really don't understand people who still cannot see the reality of what's happening to our country. If you don't care about politics then please don't pandai pandai nak support who and who based on your family views. Don't bring out ridiculous Islamophobia arguments. You want answers, you go find for it. I am more than happy to enlighten you about my views and stand

I went to Fedex yesterday, and because our local papers are useless as a medium of information to begin with, I usually ignore them, but not yesterday. I heard the Fedex officers commenting on the local papers that had Raja Petra news all over it. They were talking about how Raja Petra was this and that, was a traitor who shouldn't open his big mouth and insult you know who..
I didn't feel angry.
I felt pity, for those people.
They don't have the luxury of time to sit down and read anything else other than the manipulative and controlled local newspapers. That is basically their source of daily updates. How can they open their minds to think otherwise.

Tell me how to be unbias and objective?

You know you're a late 80's baby when..

your mum asked you to buy her favourite kuih and you go to the stall saying

"hello,mak saya nak kuih lompat tikam,ada?"

"ada"

" ooh,yang mana satu ha"

How do they come up with all these names??

I have a new blog

yeah and it's called

Ainul Is Not A Robot.

Basically emotional trash can.
I'm seperating my emotions and the actual important things in life worth writing about.

So, I'll be deleting my personal posts on this blog.just so you know

fishy fish

Salmon is pronounced sæmen.

PLEASE TAKE NOTE.

I'm not a grammar snob. Seriously.

I learnt that when I was in primary school on tv, Yeah I accidentally watched the educational channels. But after many many years, I'm starting to get ABIT,(very little) irritated, when people, even those with exceptional english says SAL MON with the L.

it's a silent L.

Once again, I'm no grammar snob, Will never be. I hate grammar snobs, in addition, my english isn't that profound anyway.

There are certainly loads more.

Today's topic: humour



Taken From:

Happy Ramadhan. No it's not too late,it's only the 2nd week.

The topic for today was suppose to be "Your guide to Subliminal Messages". However I am not in a "professional writer mode" so i'm going to write about something more casual.

Luckily for you, I'm going to talk about food today.

Specifically: The delightful Shambo from O'briens.

Like many, I am that type of person who sticks to a particular order in any restaurant. I have been eating Chicken tripledecker, a truly unhealthy sandwich, from O'briens from the very day I started eating there. However, my sister, who is a health freak frowned upon my nasty consumption and forced me to get the Shambo.

What is a Shambo?

I have no freaking idea. The fact that it's called a Shambo, somehow entertains my appetite. The only thing I know about Shamboes is that It is shaped like a hidden mickey, only all circles are equal in size, in other words, a peculiar looking sandwich.

The shambo i ate was supposedly the healthiest one, since the fillings are:

Pesto,
Sundried tomatoes,
Mozarella.
and I added chicken by paying 4 extra bucks, what a rip off.

I don't know whether it's because I had it for buka puasa, or because the sandwich is truly scrumptious, but I ate it like a "Michael Phelps during breakfast" ( FYI, he eats 12,000 calories a day).

You should give it a try. To me, sundried tomatoes should be the only legal way to eat tomatoes.mmmm. If you like the green stuff on your bruschetta, then you would love this sandwich,mainly because they spread the Pesto super generously. Don't even get me started on cheese. The chicken is optional, if you're a chicken person( double meaning BUCK buck buck), then prepare to succumb to the extravagant capitalist strategy(pay as you add?).

Oh i disappoint myself, I didn't even ellaborate the details of the memorable taste in each bite. ah well, deal with it.

Life Crisis #45

problem of the day/week/month/year:
An outrage of contemplation.

On what: Choosing my university.

Gawrsh.It's so hard to do this. Unlike UK, getting all your offers from Aussie University means trouble. I'm having such a tough time deciding between the first university in Australia and The number 1 university in Australia :S

I shouldn't even be blabbing about this here, but I just wanted to spread out the news that I've made my decision.

It's so creepy that for once, my dad said,

"I think dot dot dot is good for you cause it's a beautiful place, and you'll have tons of fun there. I don't want you to get bored and travel constantly just to get a piece of enjoyment. plus, it's not like you're rejecting the number 1 place to go to a number 4 or 5. Dot dot dot is second right?"

"No dad, it's 3rd, i didn't apply to melbourne which is number 2 cause..well you know why."

and he still said okay.

creepy, mainly because when it came to Oxford, he insisted that I study there even though I told him about how demotivated I feel in that city. But this is good, he's starting to understand.

So the dot dot dot is Sydney!! I've made up my mind. I need a life while doing my degree. Focusing too much on the school reputation and ranking will not produce me an enjoyable student life. at least, i don't Think so. So good news to sydney, i'm about to add a dash of awesome into the already super gnarly city.

Good news for you too Zulaikha!!

A short hello.

friends in the USA..please becareful as there are too many catastrophical nature mood swings happening across the country. hurricanes katrina lah, gustav la, paul lah, damn dangerous weyh...

After hurricane Gustav, i heard they predicted a greater hurricane in california...

STAY IN THE BASEMENT OKAYYYY!B-A-S-E-M-E-N-T..

USA is not so safe these days.

Aaron John the Prominent Turkish Intellectual.

He goes by the pen name Harun Yahya ( Aaron John)

Real name: Adnan Oktar

What do we need to know about him?

Despite constantly donning a somewhat similar to a James Bond attire and Versace belts, He isn't any business tycoon ripping our riches away from us. He is in fact the author of a vast number of books that are written based on the Quran,may it be concerning science,history,health and many more.

He's an intellect extraordinare since the very beginning of his university years. He dedicates his intellectual effort against Darwinism and Materialism that has grown to be a global phenomenon.

Most importantly:

"The common point in all the Harun Yahya's works is that all the topics covered by his works are in full agreement with the Qur'an, and strongly affirmed by Qur'anic understanding. Even the topics addressed by science and mostly considered complicated and confusing are narrated very lucidly and explicitly in the books of Harun Yahya. For this reason, these books appeal to everyone, from every age and social group".

also famous for:

the international hero in communicating the fallacy of the theory of evolution and the fact of creation(you know, that theory by charles darwin, ape to bigger ape, to a a less of a hunchback ape to human?)

Wonders of Harun Yahya ( Aaron John):

• He has proven, through his book, that Quran is beyond a religious book,
  and revealed the scientific explanations in the Quran.
• He has enlightened many regarding Zionist racism and Freemasonry and their negative effects on world history and politics.
• he managed to prove the evolution theory as irrelevant.

Watching the movie again, made me read the book once more. that happens.

Well, for those who haven't watched or read this book. You're missing something.
Somehow, the small details in the book/movie seem to escape me therefore everytime I read or watch it again, I learn something new.

Tyler Durden: You're not your job. You're not how much money you have in the bank. You're not the car you drive. You're not the contents of your wallet. You're not your fucking khakis. You're the all-singing, all-dancing crap of the world


Tyler Durden: The things you own end up owning you.

You wake up at Seatac, SFO, LAX. You wake up at O'Hare, Dallas-Fort Worth, BWI. Pacific, mountain, central. Lose an hour, gain an hour. This is your life, and it's ending one minute at a time. You wake up at Air Harbor International. If you wake up at a different time, in a different place, could you wake up as a different person?

Narrator: So you can breath.
Tyler Durden: Oxygen gets you high. In a catastrophic emergency, you're taking giant panicked breaths. Suddenly you become euphoric, docile. You accept your fate. It's all right here. Emergency water landing - 600 miles an hour. Blank faces, calm as Hindu cows.

oh i have to share a brief synopsis with you in order for me to explain he best part of this story. But i'm afraid i can't cause i want you to experience the story like i did. plus i don't wanna spoil it for you.once you know, the story's gone.

Glory glory Man United.

I wonder why I'm not a football fan.

It probably started when I was told it's not a game anymore. It's a selfish capatalist conquest.
But why complicate things when we can always just enjoy the game?

I've figured out a few reasons though:

a) I enjoy being in the game more than watching the game.
b) my attention span is ridiculously short that I cannot get myself to sit down and enjoy a game that goes on more than 10 minutes.
c) I'm simply not a tv person.( cause I have a feeling, I wouldn't mind watching the game,Live).
d)I just did not get sucked up into the fan pool when the time WAS right.


well, personally, i think answer B is the most accurate.
hahah, this is very random.

:O

Something inside me feels like dying.

it's peculiar and bizzare.

This little piggy...will kill me

Honestly, I don't mean to touch on this issue so openly as it might be abit of a sensitive issue for some(or not, i don't really know). However, I feel a sense of obligation to remind everyone not to take food for granted. especially my friends abroad, or those who are going abroad.

well first and foremost, it is forbidden for muslims(you know who you are) to eat pork and believe me, it's not for no good reason. No matter how profane you are when it comes to religion, there are some things that are best followed.

I read this in a book by Harun Yahya. he's a true genius. So ima simplify things for you.

Hygiene(THE MOST IMPORTANT FACTOR OF ALL):

This issue persists till today. No matter how clean the farms and environments on which it is raised may be, the pig is not by nature a clean-living animal. It often plays in and even eats its own excrement . Due to this and its biological structure, the pig produces much higher levels of antibodies than other animals. haiyahhhh, I'm sorry, but I hafta express how derangedly grossed out I am by this thought.

Growth Hormones:

Pigs also produce far higher levels of growth hormone than other animals. The meat also contains high levels of cholesterol and lipids.

Conclusion:
Well basically, those things i just said up there(hormones,antibodies, lipid and cholesterol) contributes to extraordinary obesity. countries like USA and Germany, where pork meat is consumed largely, is known to host the existence of above-average numbers of obese individuals. When exposed to excessive growth hormones as a result of pork-based diet, the human body first put on excessive weight and then suffers physical deformations.
Now, I'm not saying that being fat is caused by entirely by pork. There is a fine line between obese and extra baby fats you still bring around even when you're 24. Skinny or slim is not neccesarily healthy and chubbyness is not neccessarily ugly(something alot of teens fail to see these days). Obese is when you are so overweight that you've crossed the health line appropriate for your age. To me, it's not your size that people frown at, it's the way you take care of your health that triggers criticism.

Lastly, Trichina Worm.
It is frequently found in pork and when it enters the human body, it settles directly in the muscles of the heart and represents a possibly fatal threat. this may risk infections by trichina and possible death to those who consume it.

Despite all the precautionary measures and inspections that take place in modern-day pig rearing, the fact that pork is physiologically incompatible with the human body and is a variety of meat harmful to human health has not altered.

So guys, settle for a lebanese kebab rather than eating McDonald's cheeseburger in London. Don't satisfy your cravings just because you feel you can(whether muslim or not). Don't take food like fish and vegetables for granted, question how they were cooked. if you think this is too much trouble, then i can't help you. You can always have it the easy way, but not without a cost.

Word of the day.

Blamestorming:

an intense discussion for the purposes of placing blame or assigning responsibility for a misdeed or failure.

Etymology: patterned on brainstorming

Isn't that.....smart. It's like, people actually blame storm. now I know the precise word to describe the thing I do when i'm in trouble. Actually, not word, but precise phrase, as it would be "taking the blame"(coughs,coughs,coughssss)

Selamat Hari Raya!

Cepat laaa. I feel like learningggg. I wanna go to Australia a.s.a.p. I want to hear my lecturers speaking in that horrible accent. Sigh. Raya first!

Oh yeahs, speaking of raya.....I'm already planning an open house :O WOW. I know this might be a little too early. They're not even selling raya cards yet!. but since i'm going to egypt on the 4th day or raya, I need to inform you guys(whoever's reading) that my open house might be on the first or second day of raya.

SOooooo clear your schedulesss!pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeee, my last raya at home for the next three yearsss. I will definitely invite each and everyone personally, but this is to make sure you guys clean up that schedule of yours!!

and the Nightmare Begins....

and will be continuing for the next six weeks.



the culprit? : Ain Zubaida Rosli also known as Beda.



mmhmm my sister.

She gets on my nervesssss like crayzzzzieeeee.

iPod touch got trashed by...

I know I have had this for quite some time now, but I didn't exactly have the chance to fully utilize it till last few weeks. What am I talking about? My beloved Wii.

It's the best video game ever invented. The synchronisation between our movement and the characters on the tv is just amazing. But that isn't the best point yet.
It's the best workout machine ever! Basically, I don't bother to workout daily. But with my wii, perspirating is packed with fun and action. Which is AWESOME. This complements the fact that everyone can play it. even my MUM enjoys it. She played tennis like a pro. Awww,momma you maria sharapova. My family isn't the type who enjoys video games, so back then when I had my Playstations, twas me against the computer or friends. abit borring yeah? but nowwww, new era, new age, new bonding sessions with my sisters. thanks to you Wii.har har


Wow, I could not have sounded more like a Wii promoter. Ahh well..

Anyways, the best way to really break a sweat is for you to fully get in the spirit of the game. Play as if you're on the field. Whack the ball as if it was targeting Paris Hilton or Jonas Brothers' tight pants. If you're a lazy arsee, or you have no interest in sports, I suggest you read a book. ahahaha, at least your mind is sharpened.Seriously,I've not regrets buying a Wii instead of a PS3. To put the cherry on top of the 5-scoop sundae, buy a dancing mat. Yes I might not be the right person to recommend this. I might not even be that person who would even consider buying it. But you learn many things in college other than american pies right?*triple wink at my apartment matesss*. Left right, Up Up, doWn down..oooo i'm in the groove.

So, Wii, is officially the machine of the year. Sighh, sorry iPod Touch.

Hobbies are meant to be awesome.

My new loveeeeeeeee. Hopefully they have a fencing club in Australia.

Stop drinking..too much.

I'm an avid mineral water drinker. I even drink mineral water at home, at least 1.5 litres a day. That usually sounds like a good thing, but little did I know that mineral water is hazardous for my already less than perfect health.

I just found out that, water that comes from the ground is not exactly good( except for air zam zam, very awesome right? ), whereas, water that comes from the hill is excellent. I might be using the wrong terms to explain this, so I apologize in advance to those geoscientists and geologists. Mineral water is drilled from the ground, but the problem here is the fact that is has both organic and inorganic minerals. What is this organic schmorganic buzz talk i'm yapping about?

Well, apple has iron, so does your ipod. if your ipod rosak and you bury it underground, it will rust and the rusty iron will now be apart of the dirt,rocks,stones of earth. That is inorganic mineral unlike the one in your apple. okay?okay.

So mineral water may cause kidney stones and all sorts of other diseases.

So I learnt something very useful today. I used to hate Reverse Osmosis water cause it tastes funny, but it is the best water to ensure the pinkness of your health. although i might have altered and misuse the proverb, i stand by what i just said.

Water from the hill is similar to reverse osmosis water for your information. It contains zero minerals and is squeaky clean.

Don't ever say I didn't warn you. This is Ainul, reporting live from Subang Jaya. Your well-being is always my concern.*wink*...mmm*wink wink*

-Serial winker out and about!

I'll Throw with you

Hmm, a little boy shot in the head
Just another kid sent out to get some bread
Not the first murder nor the last
Again and again a repetition of the past
Since the very first day same story
Young ones, old ones, some glory
How can it be, has the whole world turned blind?
Or is it just ’cause it’s only affecting my kind?!
If these walls could speak,imagine what would they say
For me in this path that I walk onthere’s only one way
Bullets may kill, bones may break
Still I throw stones like David before me and I say


Try not to cry little one
You’re not alone
I’ll stand by you
Try not to cry little one
My heart is your stone
I’ll throw with you.

To my brothers and sisters in palestine, This is my word to throw with you.

personal posts are boring

I haven't been doing my job.
sorry people, i promise the next post will be something, worth reading.

Sungai..Wang?

Let's dedicate this post to,

Fariq Shazanee a.k.a Mighty Duck a.k.a Ayam.

Well let's briefly start the story. My dad's friend and his wife from Bangladesh came to Malaysia for a holiday. I am the tour guide, enough said. Safe to say, the only problem we had is me not having the whole of KL in my head.

So Mr Fariq came to the rescue. I cannot engage in random conversations on how beautiful KL is or how amazing the shoes are. I cannot pull off witty remarks without laughing at myself inside. And yes Fariq did it. A word of warning, I don't want you to lose your already big head which might be expanding even more now fariq. So no more compliments. You've suffered enough today, with the ice cream guys all over you. HAHA. Despite being overdressed * yes la,interview at the ambassy right*, you pulled of those really dirty slippars pretty okay. Buttttt,among all things, you still walk like a duck. Peace out hombree.

okay of to sleep, will be going to genting highlands at 8 am tomorrow and both my legs,are aching beyond words. oh yeah,THANK YOU. Next week more adventure. Monkeysssss

P/s- Miraz and Shiyoma says hi

Mock mock tick tock.

Since someone mocked my spiritual journey to the beach, i decided to add one more beautiful picture.

Was like swimming in a giant swimming pool.AHH!

P/s- just kidding chad.

Wheatus

I'm just a teenage dirtbag baby,like you.oooooo-ooh.

Fun Fact of the Day.

Toyota Altis ads featuring Brad Pitt were banned in Malaysia after the country's deputy information minister ruled that Pitt's handsome appearance may make Malaysian countrymen feel inferior. "Why must we use their faces in our advertisements?" asked Zainuddin Maidin to London's Guardian. "Aren't our own people handsome enough?"

OMG ISN'T That the most ridiculous thing you've ever heard??

Shoot, and he's the Malaysian info minister?i wonder how is he doing his job without getting distracted by the thought of handsome caucasians flooding Local television every 5 minutes.for a minister, He seems to really have plenty of free time looking at the way he spends it being delusionally threatened by brad pitt's ridiculous good looks.
SHUNNN.

What a moron.

hello and goodbye.

So unfortunately, you might not be able to reach me next week. many apologies.

The Itinerary:

Sunday to Wednesday: Redang Island

Friday to the following Sunday: Bank Negara predeparture programme in Port Dickson.

I'd most probably be out on with my mum on thursday.

See yah!

vegetable of the day

What is THAT? : Capsicum/Bellpeppers.

They come in many colors. They are not just shiny and beautiful, they taste absolutely wonderful.

What We think of Capsicum.?

healthy and scrumptious?GIMME MORE!britney style.

Final Verdict:

WE LOVE YOUUUUUUU!

I'm on fireee.

I think fire extinguishers are ...awesome.

How to stop.Fullstop.

so today, i will share with you my excrutiating experience when I started boycotting Israel,AGAIN.

Okay it started with Mcdonalds. Well that wasn't suppose to be hard, cause the only thing i eat there is McEgg Muffin, and Mcflurry. FINEE, and occasionally some french fries.

So it went well for a few weeks. I didn't even crave for anything. i later figured that it was more of terminating the habit of buying rather than the desire of wanting to eat Mcdonalds. I finally stopped for good.

the thing about stopping is, when you stop so suddenly, without bidding adieu first, your cravings/desires/temptations, will definitely seek you, one way or another.

So one day, I couldn't resist thinking about oreos. Weird, yeahs. I was really craving for an Oreo Mcflurry. However, I thought about the amount i have to pay which is 4 bucks, and that means, 4 palestinian lives. (yeahs, one bullet for each ringgit). But i knew that this temptations will keep on coming untill it is triumphant. So what i did was:

I held back my intentions to buy it.
I stuffed myself with food.
Finally when i was bloated enough to puke, I drove myself to Mcdonalds,ALONE.
Well, its basically human nature to resent anything that goes down their throat when their stomachs are three quarters or above full.
And please notice how i emphasized on ALONE. This means you have no one to share it with.
I bought my last Mcflurry, Gulp it down my throat, and now, I CANNOT STAND THE SIGHT OF WHITE SOFTIES MIXED WITH OREOS.

So remember the steps :D

Congratulations,and celebration.

I'd like to take this Opportunity to congratulate my bestfriend Zulaikha, in Queensland, for her team's wonderful triumph in MASCA.( which stands for something something,umph something, in short, netball tourney!). i knew you guys could kick some serious butt!

by the way,someone's birthday is coming up, and i now know how to FEDEX :D

we love music.

okay so after the post i wrote about oil, i've been posting some serious bollocks here. so, i've decided to talk about something more significant, and that would be....*drum rolls*



CORINNE BAILEY RAE!woot!

She's a real talent and i am madly in love with her songs. even the word captivating is an understatement for her. her tunes are mostly mellow and HAPPY.somehow, i think i have reached the stage where i need calm beats to fill the emptiness of my soul (wtf). a stage where nothing is too corny.

on second thought, i still have difficulties accepting corny things. but anyways, listen to her. she'll brighten your day.

"You make the red rose sun

Shine on me

Lift me up so high

Watch me fly away"

is it too late to apologize

I am sorry. i've yet to explain where i have been the last week. to these particular people:

Amelia, Farhah, Fariq, Sonia, Miza. Sorry for my disappearance, and miza,for missing the lunch!

to sofiya, sorry i couldnt follow aiman,rashaad and sarah to visit you.

to many other people who texted me but didnt get a reply, I'm sorry again.i have my reasons. and i shall ellaborate in the next post.

I'm trying to watch the anwar debate that is on channel 9 now. if you have the time,please watch it too

Sur La Route, La Pluie et le beau temps!

A very exhausting day it was.

For those who know French, good on ya. For those who don't, the above means, "on the Road, Rain and Shine!" and yes I have been using my iPod to learn French. I must say, it's not ABC easy. I would rather say it's..very the complicated. Everything has a freaking gender.the COMPUTER has a gender. how do you genderize a computer?!Anyways, enough about that, i'm just very happy I can now count to a hundred in french, and speak to french cab driver. oh yeah, and eat in a french restaurant.

My sister just got back from egypt. it's been so long since all of us hung out together. years already. In fact, beda's still in turkey right now. so it's the 4 of us. but i'm still very happy. Little did I know, I'd have such a wonderful time catering to my sisters' ridiculous needs. anyways, my sister told me a really funny story.

she was at the airport with her friends and decided to buy some drinks. so they went tothis cafe (in egypt). They sat down and waited for the waiter to take their order but there weren't any in sight. After about 15 minutes of waiting, they got really annoyed, but they were not the only ones. A Canadian guy from across their table got up, and went all the way to the back of the counter, and found noone, not even the cashier. So he dared himself into the kitchen to find someone. Ironically,In the cafe, there was a sign that said

" Please do not leave your valuables unattended ".

So the white guy took that sign and put it on their front counter where the cashier is..suppose to be... and took off.

finally, someone came out, and my sister and her friends shouted, "that sign is for youuuuuu!"

p/s- it's a boy btw. the computer.

All that glitter, is Dust.

hmm, it was nearing dusk. Strumming horrendously on my guitar, I saw a ray of light, slipping in between the small opening of the green curtain. I was amused. It was beautiful, but it was made of nothing else but the sun and flying dust particles that looked insanely indistinguishable to glitter.

I still remember, as a kid, I used to raise my hand with my fist open, and slowly moved it towards the ray in hopes to capture the moving glitters. uh huh, they were extremely tricky and somehow flew in a cheetah like speed. or maybe a space rocket. You just go on and on, feeling excited. Do you think it's idiotic? Cause I still don't, and I still get mesmerized by the glimpse of it. I can stare all day.

How can small particles of dust, look like floating glitter.

ah well, dumb thoughts, for today. beautiful dumb thoughts

Most of the time

And so it is.
just like you said it would be.
life goes easy on me......most of the time.


I just watched closer.go figure

How They Twist and Shout

As i said in my previous post, i shall explain how the government has cheated their way to personal riches.

According to my sister yet again, Malaysia purchases very low grade oil, where there is high sulphure content. The lower the grade, as I said before, the cheaper the price. just like any other commodities, there is a base price. for those who know economics, take example inflation, we compare index prices of the current and base year. same thing here, say Grade A is used as the base grade for the base price, hence any other grade will be valued against that.

Our nextdoor neighbours however, do not purchase low grade oil. in fact, thailand and singapore purchase very high quality oil. That is why when we compare our prices to our neighbours' prices, ours seem relatively,lower, in fact,much lower. but the government manipulate the fact and took advantage of it. Without shame, they stated that we should be thankful they subsidize a alot compared to other countries by comparing the oil prices. the reality is that, we buy oil at a lower price in the first place. in fact, it's safe to say that our neighbours' might be the one heavily subsidized by their government in terms of real instead of nominal value. There is an article on Malaysia today that can help you understand more, i will post the link shortly.

For those who do not know what real and nominal value is, here goes:

lets say you go two different kedai mamak. the first one sells roti canai for 1 ringgit, the second for 50 cents. since you are short of cash, you ask your friend to split the cost with you, but ofcourse,not the roti canai. for the first kedai mamak, your friend paid 40 cents for you. for the second one, your friend paid 10 cents. which means you only had to pay 60 cents and 40 cents.

so here you are thinking, you paid more for the first compared to the second roti canai. Nominally yes, as 60 cents is more than 40. but in terms of real value, for the first one, you only paid for 3/5 of the real price(1ringgit) whereas, for the second one you paid 4/5 of the price ( 50 cents). so in real value, eating more roti canai from kedai mamak number one is more untung. get it?

Oil trading please read

i was having a light conversation with my sister yesterday when she started talking about oil prices, and i found out about something very interesting.

well i guess i have to briefly introduce my sister, as to assure you of where she got her data and accentuate the validity of her statements.
she works with petronas, in the oil business department. so she handles trading and things related to oil business (duh). in short, she knows how the prices are negotiated.

In essence, based on reality and not some crap made up by the government, this is how oil prices are determined.

To simplify it, the oil exporting countries usually gather to trade oil. they have headquarters in the USA,Japan, Saudi, etc etc. Each country is represented by a body which records and negotiates their trading going-ons. this body is called platts. in this trading session, each country offers their oil. lets take Malaysia, say our representative offers our oil, and the others will bid on it. and ofcourse, the oil will go to the highest bidder.

There are three prices of oil, the highest price, where it is the value of the highest bid, the minium, which is the lowest bid and lastly, the average which is the value in between max and min. so say initially the oil price is 100bucks perbarrel. Out of the blue, someone suddenly offers $200 bucks perbarrel for our oil. so the average will go up and the max price now will be $200. based on this shocking offer, all the other countries now believe that, there are buyers who are willing to pay that high price for oil. so they will now sell at $200 barrel. as you can see, it is merely based on speculation that people are willing to buy at a higher price. yes, only based on speculation even though there isn't exactly a need for the price to go up. everyone is selfish and wants to get the maximum amount of profit.

So thats how it works. the platts(the body) will record all transaction and will determine the current price of oil.

As you can see, from here, there are plenty of room for fraudulence, selfish propaganda and manipulation by those in power. how?Think about it. and if you're stuck, you can ask me anytime.

That's one part of it.
the grade of oil also plays another significant role.

the countries bid on a certain grade of oil. say grade A. Let's take the price of Grade A to be $200 per barrel. If Malaysia sells grade A oil and in return buys grade B which is a lower quality oil, the lower quality oil will be cheaper, maybe by $20. this makes sense cause it is of lower quality anyway. and say Saudi buys grade A++ which is of higher quality. they therefore have to pay say $50 more. This is how they trade.

Now that you know all this, i will write my next post on how the Malaysian government has robbed us all and manipulated facts to make them look ....Good.

Why we hate Israel,Episode 2.

remember, it doesn't matter whether you are black or white, christian and buddhist from everywhere and anywhere. they are commiting a crime agaisnt humanity. they have violated human rights. they have brutally snatched the lives of many palestinians.

so, there is absoultely nothing wrong in trying to prevail human rights. seriously guys, please at least try.

Boycott Israel.

I am sick and tired of being hypocritical. yes i have failed many attempts to boycott israel. but i have read too many horrendous stories about their ill treatment towards the palestinians and i believe i need to do something about it.

well, firstly, i'd like to preach to everyone to boycott israel. i am not asking you to be a saint.

it's basic humanity and human rights issue. and you don't have to do it at one go, you can do it slowly , one product at a time.

i'd like to tell you abit about the israelis,thinking about them is enough to raise my rage. anyways, first and foremost, they invaded palestine in 1948. after that they practically took away the land away from their palestinians without compromise. imagine your house being taken away from you just like that. your parents' hard work of building that house you live in, goes to a complete stranger. they drove out the palestinians from their own land using nothing but brutality. they have guns and grenades, while the palestinians only had stones and pebbles.

after 60 years, the palestinians now are treated as second class. a man was tortured and beaten till his hands,ribs and legs are broken before he was ferociously slaughtered to death. a 6 year old boy was shot, after throwing stones at a jewish soldier, and when the soldier was questioned about his cruelty, he said, it was self defense.

i know it's extremely difficult, as i say it, behind almost every international company success,they is an evil israeli man.ofcourse that would be judgemental. and no one fancies being judgemental. but i am really only reffering to those who are actually funding those bullets you see in babies,women, and teenagers' cranium(skull).

i suggest when you buy that fillet-o-fish or big mac, just imagine each bite is the red flesh of a palestinian baby. it's no different than the real thing. you are killing these people by buying israeli products.

Motorists.

I THINK THEY SHOULD BE BANNED!motors should not be a medium of transportation!urggh,referring to the above,our subject for today is all about motorists and that includes rempits,old man on motors, underage kids in the kampungs, minah rempss(abbreviation for rempit), women on old motor bikes etc,etc. i personally think they are extremely annoyinggg. not to be judgemental or anything related to that,but seriously, they make driving on the road a burden and a much harder task. they can consequence to some serious cursing,and infront of your mother too!deng deng deng(sound effect).

i was driving around ,when suddenly there was this slow moving motorist in front of me, waiting for me to just bang him to death. i felt the urge to curse profusely, and in my head i did. it raised my rage.driving definitely needs tons of patience. it could be the beginning of your high blood pressure and the end of your life(wah so dramatic). but seriously, don't you feel like just pushing those motorists aside if they're on your way.they dont just take up your driving space,they perform magic too.when you're happily driving,they can just ZZOOOooom in,appear out of nowhere and ruin your day. you have to look after these motorists cause they expect you too.even if you collided,and it was the motorist fault, you face bigger loss, badly damaged car,and the paranoid android emotion you have to go through for the next few weeks.the worst thing that could happen to the motorist is get pity, a few scratches,a totally broken bike,and i guess death.(okay that sounds like a bigger loss)whatever!i'm annoyed here,so i decide who loses more!

okay so maybe i was exagerating about the banning of motors as i said up theree.i know motors are cheap,and not everyone can afford a car. it also contributes to pollution in a smaller scale (not very sure about this as the number of motorists is big,however still a smaller scale compared to everyone having and driving a car). one of the sollutions might be by providing a lane for motorists so that they dont have to bugger on our roadsss!also they should limit the number of motors sold.*quotas* chehh.i sound like i'm writing a PMR essay. anyways, i'm still sticking to how annoyed i am by the presence of motorists.sighhhh.

Indie Movies.

For those who do not know what indie actually means, it's independent. Independent in the sense that it is different from mainstream, and it does not associate to it in whatever possible ways there are. Also the fact that they are initially produced without financing or distribution from a major movie studio.

Anyways,
Here's the top ten list of Indie Movies:

1. Requiem For A Dream
2. Garden State
3. Juno
4. Little Miss Sunshine
5. Trainspotting
6. The Royal Tennenbaums
7. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
8. The House Of Mirth
9. Thumbsucker
10. Transamerica

Well, I have watched half the list(the large bolded ones) and my verdict is that indie movies are AWESOME. Now, everyone knows this for a fact that these movies are not cliche. So i wouldn't wanna stress too much on that. I'd rather talk about how genius the directors are for making such captivating movie. Garden state for example, blew my mind away. the thing about these movies is how they emphasize on both eccentric and normal aspects of life and somehow illustrate em in the most maginficent way.

They are usually slow thereforeee, unless you have tons of time to waste, or you feel like indulging yourself into something.....deep( well usually ), then i suggest you go pick your all time favourite chick flick over this. i hafta warn you, once you enjoy one, you'd go looking for more. i'm the living proof.

Final Verdict:

Some movies are to die for,and most you should definitely watch before you actually bugger off forever(die). we la la la love indie moviesss!

Raja Petra Kamarudin

Name: Raja Petra Kamaruddin
Also known as: Peter/RPK
who is he?: The Legendary Creator and Editor of the blog "MALAYSIA TODAY".

Short biography:

Do not be fooled by the balding head of this half welsh man. he has got more guts than those fat Madagascar cockroaches and has a mind sharper than a nuisance's eyes and mouth combined!
If you have read his blogs, you would give him an insurmountable respect for his explicitness. He has revealed to us many of the fraudulence carried by our Malaysian Government and has opened thousands of eyes to be aware of this. I also strongly believe he has played a major role in the result of our recent election in March.
Unfortunately, the much corrupted Malaysian government has a bunch of significant "taikos" namely our"Prime Minister's" son in law. He has somehow managed to get some freaky computer genius to hack into the blog system,hence making it impossible for anyone to open it.

As an avid reader, I believe in the reliability of Raja Petra's blog. The irresponsible act of hacking his blog has further convinced me,as no guilty man would go through all the trouble to prevent people from knowing the truth.
Raja Petra has been writing controversial issues mainly concerning Malaysia's political arena and has shown courage in doing so. Since his blog has been hacked, we haven't heard from him and we fear of his safety, truly. Please leave him alone, you stupid scumbags.

7 Wonders of Raja Petra:

• Has been charged with Sedition a number of times and still have the guts to fight for the truth.
• has been jailed for sedition, and again, he continues doing what he believes in.
• His deep concern for human rights, our rights, rakyat's rights.
• His killer comedian instincts.
• His witty controversial comments on the political issues.I call it style with substance.
• A very resourceful man with profound knowledge in what he writes
• His profound rebellious like behaviour that astounds many
  

What we think of him?
AWESOME, A truly courageous Malaysian Hero.
we love peter!

Final Verdict:

GO PETER GO!

p/s- on behalf of all supporters, we hope that his safety is secured and that he will continue writing soon. IF ever he is found dead, WE WILL FIND THE KILLER AND SLAUGHTER HIM ALIVE. okay, maybe I will.

First and Foremost

hello.

Alright, my very first post. to tell you the truth this is my second blog. i wrote a bunch of stuff in my old one and thought that i needed a fresh new start. The stuff i wrote before seems, pointless. not that this won't be. But i have a new purpose now and you can read about it on my profile.

Well, to keep it short, the title you see up there "facets" actually means numerous aspects, as of a subject. Therefore, i'm gonna try to entertain all the lazy readers out there with the numerous significant things in life we should be aware about. From Political dramas, to healthy lifestyle, you name it, i'll post it. Hmm, that sounded very commercial. Ah well, deal with it.

Ho hum.
