Home sweet home

At last.. my dear home sweet home..
Didn't even have time to blog.. Dial up dude.. -_- [sigh..]

And my Dad just went to Penang with my mom.. will be back on Sunday. I guess we're on our own.. ^_^ but I still have my uncle and my cousins to bug around.. ^_^

And I just realised that my dad didn't pay the phone bill for my mobile.. resulting my number's getting blocked. So I went to the cashless machine in the bank and pay the amount of +- RM12.00 [comverted] and still waiting for the number to get unbarred.

And it's good to be home.. ^_^

The 'King' has left the country

And the last day of the 'King' in KL and we're sending him to the airport. A final pictures of us with Ahmed, his housemate, and Leela's family.


And this would be the last moments of departure.. as the 'King', Ahmed is leaving.. We're definitely going to miss you.. in fact I'm gonna miss all of ya.. ^_^


As he walked to his freedom.. Haha.. The funny part was that we were still looking for him after he went in; just like reporters, paparazzi trying to get his pictures [Mukmin, Wimal, and I]


This is the squad that escorted the 'King' to his freedom.. ^_^

SISF and Ahmed's farewell party

Last Sunday @ SISF and here we go..
Learned about the history of Christianity in the olden ages and finally to Indonesia.
That was such an interesting history. [and I can't even remember the names ^_^]


Wow.. dinner is served. This was one of my best meal [I didn't even familiar with the way of eating ^_^]. Thanks Leela.. ^_^


I almost 'kena' con by Ahmed when I was about to eat the dessert. Since I was not familiar with the way of eating [by hand], so I thought that I should eat this with hand too. Haha.. ^_^ Silly eh?

And Rafha was really cute too.. ^_^

Father's Day

Happy Father's Day.. ^_^
Love u dad..


Just thinking of the old times.. [yeah.. that was me.. cute eh? ^_^]

Degree Celebration

I am a degree holder now.. ^_^
Though without formal certificate, this letter conforms that I have finished my study.. ^_^


Batman Begins for celebration with the bretherin [do I spell that right this time, Ahmed?] ^_^
It was awesome.. One thing I like about new movies is that they put up jokes; and I like the jokes in Batman Begins very much. Seems like the best Batman movies I've ever seen. ^_^


And a chill at the evening with addition to serious meeting.. ^_^
The joints of both of my arms feel like going off.. This has been a good day.

Wierd dream with snakes

What a bad beginning of day. Woke up for a few minutes at 7.38 and went back to sleep, but this time with a dream.

I went out with my family and some of my friends for dinner. The location seems like somewhere in Malaysia but feels like home [as in Indonesia].

So after dinner, all of the youngsters [there were 3-4 and Yohannes was one of them] went to the park to chill. So there was a river [and it was very steep and deep]; and we decided to sit there by the tree at the tip of the cliff where we can see the river.

As we were chilling, there was this one yellow snake near Yohannes; small head, but fat in the middle; as if it's pregnant. As I told him that there were snake, he just constantly catch the head of the snake [wow.. just like those in the animal planet] and threw it down to the river.

So not long after that, a cat came to me and bit my hand, and stick on it. And I threw it to the river as well.

So I put my head out to see what happened to the cat I threw, and I saw bats, snakes swimming towards the cat I threw, and many others.

As I was looking down, I slipped and almost fell and hold on to the tree [it's not hanging on the tree; I just slipped and my body was still on the ground] and there was a green snake came from the top of the tree [actually the tree was quite small] and just as I want to get the others to get rid of it [since I was hoding on the tree becoz I slipped and almost fell], it bit my hand. When Yohannes saw I was bitten [and the snake was sticking to my heand] and tried to get the head, another big yellow python snake that made Yohannes thought again.

But somewhere there is another person [which I don't know] appeared suddenly [eh.. this is just a dream, everything can happen. ^_^] and the snake that was sticking on my hand, jumped and bit him to death. So I catch the head and threw it to the river [just like in the animal planet again.. haha.. ^_^] and again, I slipped and hold on to the tree. With struggle I get myself back on the safe ground and thinking that I was gonna die like the other person got bit by the snake. So I started to suck the blook out of the wound and spitted it out.

And then I noticed that those two snakes' tail were tied on the tree and I just released them so that they can get to the river.

And the next thing I remembered is that when I looked back down to the river was lots of snakes with huuuuuugggeee sizes. And that was really scary and I just woke up...

Haha.. I blog this as soon as I woke up, that's why I can remember the details. And I felt really uncomfortable when I woke up..

Right.. the day begins now.. ^_^
Have a nice day.

C & G

Chillin again with the four bretheren at C & G [becoz Coffee Zone was not open]

Sunday, June 05, 2005

Coffee Bean

Well.. Ahmed called quite late at 6 something and asked for dinner; so I went to Carrefour and we had Ayam Mas. However, Mukmin called and asked for another chill time at Coffee Zone nearby, but when we were there, it was closed and Mukmin just stepped on the gas and drove to Midvalley for Coffee Bean there.. [I think I was kidnapped.. Haha.. ^_^]


It has been a nice chill together, chatting, laughing.. I'm definitely gonna miss these times.

Home sick

Missing home so much.. :-( my ohana, my neighbourhood, my gf.. ^_^ Damn I really want to go back now.. [and this is one of the worst time to miss them all; 19 hours until BPR submission)

The left side of my house and beloved neighbourhood ^_^

and the right side [I can see Yohannes' house] p.s. that's not my car.

and my beloved girl.. ^_^

Chimps: the dark side



How many of you all have the perspective of chimpanzees are cute animal with intelligence and social element only? That they have been such a friendly creature, being full of love with their infants and not knowing that they have a dark side.

I've just watched a documentary in National Geographic about the dark side of the chimps and some of its videos are rather disturbing for me.

Chimps are very much like human; aside of its 99% DNA similarities between the two of us, they also have emotions, and some scientists believe that they have the sense of wonder.

But what I have just found out about chimpanzees for the last two days are that they are fierce; they organise wars towards other chimps from another teritory and have the ability to spy and assess the enemy capability and assemble their power in number.

I found the link of a video that I saw in the National Geographic, but the link seems to be dead when i was trying to access it; chimpanzee attack in Tanzania in 1998. The same incident happens in Uganda in 1998 filmed.

"In 1998, researchers in Uganda saw a group of male chimpanzees beating on and swaggering around another male chimp’s freshly killed body. Its windpipe, fingernails and testicles were torn out."
[World Science, 2005, Wired for war?, http://www.world-science.net/exclusives/050209_warfrm.htm]

They showed the corpse of the dead chimp after the killing [National Geographic] and believe me.. that was horrible; just like a pycho killing in movies.

But researchers say that this behaviour is basically same with humans.Imagine yourself going into another country without passport and see if they don't shoot you.. [umm.. maybe not that fierce] ^_^

Last day of class @ APIIT and a salesman

Wah.. today's classes were the last two classes in APIIT; DCCN and BPR. There won't be any classes except exams on 13, 15, 17 of July. Of course I'll be going to college again for some books may be.. or just chill out with the others.. Haha..

We (Mukmin, Ahmed, and I) went to the mamak again afterwards celebrating the last day of class. We were approach by one guy trying to promote some 'business' to us.

We concluded that he was pretending to know Ahmed in the first place to get into the conversation, and continues to express his idea of 'business'. The pattern he used was somehow same with the the pattern those sales of multi-level marketing business people use to approach others.

And the worst part, after saying all the benefits, we were very curious of what is the actual business process and eventually asked him, but he kept avoiding the questions with other things and told us to agree to be invited to see the actual company with him.

It wasn't just once that we tried; the three of us asked the same question and
"Come to the location of the company in PJ, and you'll know", he said
"Is there any website that we can refer to?", asked Mukmin
"Thet's why.. come to PJ and we will tell you", he replied
wtf???? [well we didn't say that literally ^_^]

After he left, "We're not buyin that!!!" Haha...
