Wustashgionosorous
I'm having writer's block again. And the burner in the Lab kaputz due to tempering from a colleague we love to call Donkey (aka Pouty Lips). Can't burn Neo san's Cokelat as promised. Felt guilty for about two minutes and fifty-two seconds (coincidently, it is the length of my favourite track from the Brilliant Green). We've been experiencing network problems - so I did not get to read updates in this blog till about an hour ago. Also went to the gay blogger's site that I habitually visit - but still no inspiration.
Though at loss for words, I hope Leman Spy san is feeling better, though didn't think he'd feel up to meeting the clan this eve; though many have not seen us hang for quite some time. Sent out an invitation to Pocket san - will this blog get another member? Tough to gauge. It'd be easier to explain *why I'm now a repented Manchester United fan.
(*Though the first ever football match I watched from minute 0 to 90 was of Man U vs Tot Hotspurs, it was because losing Cantona cuts too deep, and succumbing to hating that overzealous campaign on David Beckham (due to it's Castrol promo tie-up in Malaysia having to do with a certain PR company that helms an idiot that I had the misfortune to work with) is so easy. Personally I've nothing against Beckham, really - this much is true cause if I did I'd have crossed out Real Madrid by now, nevermind that I did share their blues after each defeat. But the new Ronaldo, Christiano if you please, is that glimmer of hope I had been waiting for. The one that I didn't get from Ola nor Ruud. The press call him "the new Cantona" and they were not far off. Regardless, I will always have a soft spot for Giggsy. The funny thing was, while all this were going through my head during the last Man U vs Newcastle clash review, I also spied an article about Pistol Pete retiring - and later that night I had this nightmare about Inzaghi saying he's retiring early, and he'll be following Batistuta's (huh?) footsteps to join beach soccer and give Cantona some real trouble.)

up-beatin' the tempo
the kugiransays is not completed if we cannot share the beats with pocket a.k.a zach. this is the new email of him. hope to hear something from him soon. mythro@hotmail.com
anda tidak keseorangan
howdy dude!!! mula-mula gua nak mintak maaf pada lu org sekalian. sebab aku janji nak keep-in-touch ngan lu org sepanjang gua balik kg., tapi aku tak buat. ini alasan yg biasa org bagi, tapi memang macam tulah kejadiannya. pc bapak aku kat kg rosak, hantar repair sampai sekarang tak ambik- ambik lagi. itu satu sebab. sebab kedua, ada sebuah laptop kat sana. ingat boleh guna beliau, sekali adik aku yg kat UTP tu balik dan sudah kidnap beliau. jadi yg tinggal kat rumah itu hanyalah sebuah meja komputer dan juga komponen lain yg tidak memungkinkan aku berhubung dgn dunia cyber (monitor, keyboard, mouse, speaker, dan kabel-kabel). nak jadi sebab la jugak aku malas pegi internet kafe.
buat inche' leman...kehilangan org yg disayangi memang susah nak explain. lebih-lebih lagi kalau kita tak dpt jumpa org tu disaat-saat akhir dia. aku rasa in this case, you're not alone. but i think you have a better situation than me. i've lost all my grandpas and grandmas. yg jadi tragik plak, kesemua mereka tu aku tak dpt jumpa langsung lebih dr sebulan. utk belah bapak aku, aku memang tak jumpa langsung tokyah dan tok aku lebih kurang 2 bulan. masa tokyah aku meninggal, ini cerita kejam sikit, walaupun tokyah aku tu tinggal tak jauh dr rumah aku, aku memang tak pegi jenguk dia biar pun aku tau masa tu dia tgh sakit. mas tu aku asyik pikir esok la aku tengok...esok la aku tengok...sampai la dia meninggal aku tak jenguk. bila dpt berita dia dah tak de, baru kelam kabut aku balik rumah tok aku. nak kata apa dah, org tua tu dah pergi. tengok mayat je la aku. rasa nyesal tak sudah. lepas tu masa tok aku plak meninggal memang aku tak leh buat apa. sebab masa tu aku keja. korang pun tau kan, macam mana working hour aku ngan Quantum Business. ini masa aku jadi designer. sekali lagi aku terkesima. aku dpt call dari adik aku pukul 2 pagi kata tok aku dah meninggal dlm pukul 1.15pagi cam tu. start dari tu aku jadi suspen tiap kali aku dpt call masa odd hours. kalau bunyi je phone waktu cam tu, aku dah siap buat conclusion it will be bad news. aku tak ingat masa aku dpt call adik aku tu aku tak tau nak buat apa. tapi ada aku hantar sms kat org. kalau tak silap aku pocket ke fiza ke syameen..ntah. tapi yg paling aku rasa tak best, masa opah aku meninggal. aku ngan opah aku ni kamcing. aku tinggal dgn dia sejak dr aku lahir, sebab memang opah aku ni tinggal dgn family aku. masa ni aku dah start jadi server administrator ngan Quantum Business. opah aku ni memang sihat walafiat, cuma ada darah tinggi je. memang tak de tanda2 yg tunjuk ajal dia dah dekat. the days before she passed away pakcik aku yg tinggal dgn aku sekarang ni ada balik kg., satu family dia. opah aku masa tu ada demam sikit. dan nak dijadikan cerita on the wednesday pakcik aku balik kl balik. opah aku ni siap masak banyak lauk buat bekal pakcik aku. siap hantar sampai ke kereta masa nak balik. memang tak de was-was lagi la nak katakan yg opah aku ni dah nak 'kembali'. jadi pakcik au ni pun sampai la kl tgh mlm tu. esoknya semua org macam biasa pegi keja. aku pun sama, naik bas pegi lrt station, turun lrt naik bas feeder nak ke philoe damansara. sementara tunggu bas nak jln aku dpt call dari bapak aku. mula2 aku pelik jugak sebab mak bapak aku tak pernah call aku pepagi time pegi keja. aku tak syak apa-apa lagi. sekali aku dengar suara bapak aku lain macam, rupanya opah aku dah 'habis' pagi tu dlm pukul 7 lebih. termenung aku dlm bas. nasib baik bas tak jln lagi. aku turun balik, ambik lrt balik rumah pj, tunggu makcik2 dan pakcik aku balik. lepas semua ada, terus balik gerik. mak aku cerita opah aku ni 'habis' macam tu aje. tak de pesan apa-apa pun. nmasa tu mak, adik,cousin aku semua tgh tido. nasib baik bapak aku baru balik dr masjid. opah aku ni mintak tolong picit kaki dia sebab rasa lenguh dan mintak nak minum air. habis je semua tu dia mintak bapak aku ngan mak aku (bapak aku kejut suruh buat air) terus picit kaki dia sebab dia nak tido kejap. masa tu bapak aku dah rasa lain sebab bapak aku rasa kaki opah aku ni sejuk kemain. lain macam je sejuk dia. dah jadi macam tu bapak ak terus panggil jiran mintak tolong tengok sementara bapak aku pegi panggil doktor. sampai je doktor dia check dan dia kata opah aku baru je meninggal dua tiga minit yg lepas. tak ke surprise semua org. tapi alhamdulillah..opah aku meninggal cam tu. baik utk dia. bila aku pikir benda ni aku teringat ada satu mlm tu opah tel. aku tanya bila nak balik gerik. aku kata sekarang susah sebab aku keja tak tentu masa. semua on call. aku kata nanti bila dah settle sikit keja aku balik la sehari dua. sekali memang aku balik sehari dua, tapi tu la, tolong urus jenazah opah aku....tak ke haru jadi cam tu.
jadi apa yg aku nak kata kat sini...ni semua qada' dan qadar tuhan. kita memang tak boleh nak buat apa. dunia hari ni memang macam tu rutin dia. semua org sibuk buat hal masing2, sampai kadangkala kita tak sempat nak pikir pasal keluarga. jadi aku harap inche' leman a.k.a betik bersabar banyak2. bukan kau sorang je cam tu. org lain pun ada experienced macam tu. semoga kejadian ca ni kita semua ambik buat panduan supaya kita lebi ambil berat keluarga kita.
sekian terima kasih....

Why do I like my house?
Waa... lamanya tak tulis blog. I have been away in Heaven (I mean Ipoh) since last Tuesday, and have not seen the big-bad-busuk-but-sometimes-OKlah KL for five days. My jari all ketar2 nak menaip, and my brains rasa macam beef lasagna dari Dave's Deli.
Everything seems all set for our old friend here - loan's ready, placement ready, and the rest like lodging and all too right? Dear Grik, eventhough if I were you I'd be so scared I just might ngompol, I shall tell you there's nothing to worry about. On the other hand, Betik, kalau kau bebetul nak show up kat KLIA's departure hall and join the crying choir, aku nak record bleh?

untouchable
hah haaa...finally, i've got the agreement!!! the best part of it is in the 1st paragraph of the official offer letter. "...Majlis Amanah Rakyat(MARA) dgn sukacitanya menawarkan bantuan pelajaran kpd saudara bagi mengikuti pengajian seperti berikut:
Peringkat Pengajian : MASTER
Kursus : MEDIA COMMUNICATIONS
Tempat Pengajian : UNIVERSITY OF BRADFORD
Tempoh : 1 TAHUN...."
.......emmm.....hmmmm...aaaa.....tak tau nak cakap apa. seronok, happy, best, glad......if it was in AF, i'd already hugged all the people arround me. but there was nobody 'yg boleh' being hugged. tak kan nak peluk Cik Nurul, pegawai yg bagi agreement tu. but she's cute...nyesal tak peluk tadi....
by the way, i'm looking forward for a date with you guys. but i really need to find some available times for all of us. since my agreement need to be signed A.S.A.P, i think I have to go back to my 'kampung', may be on wednesday. and will return back to KL on Sat. or Sun. along the week, i will keep in touch with you guys through email or this blog. aku betul2 rindu sama korang semua...nak jumpa sesangat. but, let me settle my things first. i think now it's already terrible for me to keep up with these official matters.
siti...last dating you asked me when do want to go for shopping. i think next week...may be. if you're still interested, just let me know. betik pun la....
GiGi memang turun KL buat concert. tak percaya cari Pancaindera Mingguan Malaysia, 17 Ogos 2003, muka surat 12. ada artikel GiGi in concert, 26 Sept. @ Dewn Wawasan PGRM. tiket boleh dpt kat Power Station ataupun boleh call 03-78774864 / 78774964 atau email - admin@dedgecomm.com. ajak Kak Siti sekali. memang rugi kalau tak pegi....aduhai...kalau tidak boleh aku join sama. nyanyi lagu Terbang, Terima Saja,...kalau la aku boleh suruh diorang cepatkan tarikh kan ke best.
betik...join la concert tu. aku jamin kau boleh dpt vibe lain bila layan GiGi ni. si rockstar kita tu plak aku rasa tak berminat kot. kalau dewa/padi mungkin la dia join kot...tapi tak tau la kot aweknya nak pegi...jumpa la kat sana nanti.

Jomblo!
Neo san, betul ke Gigi nak datang Malaysia? Apa buktinya? Sahih ke source kau tu?Kalau newspaper patutla kau tak tau sbb aku belum baca today's installation lagi.
Tadi aku siap call akak aku lagi - kesian dia kena bangun tido. Asked her to guess which band is coming to town, (she guessed No Doubt though - now wouldn't that be great?! RHCP ke.. Jamiroquai ke..) but when I told her it's Gigi coming very very near to our house (yelah bekas stage finals AF si PGRM tu walking distance dari rumah aku!) she was determined to make sure her next contract will be near enough.
So it better be real! Jangan la sampai aku kena nyanyi "Semua itu mimpi... ooo..." mau banjir KL.
Betik - kau dig ke Indon stuff ni? Seingat aku concert SO7 yg kita gi ramei siap ada Bat tu pun kau tak join kan...?

Been counting grains and stars
So you guys missed me a lot. Yeah, I can tell. Well, me been busy lately - deadline lah. And writer's block pun iye juga. Pirates of the Caribbean pun ye jugak - hey you guys should watch it - damn good, even if you are not fans of Johnny Depp or Orlando Bloom.
And I hereby berlagak, pardon me, gentlemen - Yeah, i've seen it on big screen last Friday at KLCC's TGV t'was a press premiere - assignment malamlah apa lagi, siap Editor aku mendictatorkan dirinya with his statement: "If you have made plans I suggest you cancel it. Thanks." - even though article pasal movie tu dah siap lama dah. If you think my Ed is weird for forcing us to have fun, let me tell you that this is the same guy who forces us to take at least one day off every month. New-age boss? Maybe - whatever.
The main thing is, I gotta thank him for making me go through that Friday night like that for it was a great movie. I give it a 4.5 over 5 stars. Cool gile my mat salleh BF si Ah John tu. On top of that witty script, good storyline, superb visual effects (at least yg aku tulis in my article tu live up to my vonderful description), believable fighting scenes, classic villain and livewire characters, heroine tak berapa menyusahkan - apo laie ekau nak?
Before I forget let me tell you Neo dear, that:
1) Don't worry too much, go where life takes you - universiti serata dunia kebanyakannya ada ISO rating jugak, as long as they have it, you can be sure to get quality education - regardless what people say. ITM pun banyak orang ingat cikai tapi there are many employers seeking for ITM grads specifically - not the more established/internationally recognised/glamourous ones like UM, UTM etc. I'm sure Aya & Haifa knows what they're talking about when they told you to go ahead, and you can always refer back to them in any case. Er, how are they doing anyway?
2) You will always have us to bug over the blogsite - and you can tell us anything! I'd be honoured cause you'd trust me with your twisted, weird, perplexing secrets, and Betik will be thrilled to be included in such an educational knowledge sharing activity - kan Leman? Huah hah haaa!!! I love hurling respectable accusations to Leman sbb dia budak manja.
3) I edited your last post - just a minor change surely you won't notice. But if you do, ala bro, it was just one word!
Leman, Leman, Leman - I don't know why your last post reminded me of a Ziana Zain song that goes "Ingin ku pastikan, cintamu - masih bagai dulu.." upbeat-upbeat bunyinya gitu (If Azizi cover this song I'll surely buy his EP!). Do you remember the rest of the lyrics?
By the way, I think I have vented out on my co enough - so I'm trying my best to show up at work at 10.30AM or earlier instead of the 11AM or later routine I have been keeping. Wish me wuck wallababies!
p/s: Grik bilo ekau fly? Contract MARA tadi dah amik le ye, I assumed everything went well - so bila nak last dating dgn aku, Leman dan your rockstar BF?

angels are frist to fall
bukan menyisih...bukan menyendiri...
i'm actually, like in the middle of nowhere. this week is the toughest period in my life so far. even more crucial than the moments i'd lost my grandparents. throught out the week, it was kind of blurry. it started when i heard an issue raised by the individuals whose are going for UK. an issue that really made my future seemed so far away. like you were almost reached the end, but yet you were so far down.
it began when i told them that i'm going to University of Bradford. and there was a lady made a statement, '...are you sure of going to Bradford? i think people at MARA told me to forget Bradford instead of its department's RAE score is 5. i was trying to applied for it and they said "just forget it"....'
just because of thet statement, i'm really felt like my hope was being crushed and chopped into pieces. not because of anything else, but because i really depend into this universty for my future education since my applications to other university were classified as 'unsuccessful'. i know the RAE scores for the department that i'd applied was just 4a. even by the time i seated for the interview, the interviewers already told my to find another university instead of Bradford. but i've made my stand to stick with the university since i've recieved advices from Aya and Haifa to just proceed with what i got. they said that was the problem faced by many MARA sponsored students each year. just submit it and everything will turn out fine...with the advices i'd just completing all the documents needed and submit it to MARA.
and today...there is shining came out from the tunnel. eventhough it was not as bright as i hope for, but it was great enough to pull back my strenght. i'd made a call to MARA, and an officer told me that my sponsorship agreement is ready and you can come to MARA to collect it on Monday. if i'm not a muslim, i will now believe there is really a GOD up above there. it is like he heard all my prayers and knew how i really hope for this. it is just like the situation that one would believe in prayer and the Almighty. the scenario really make me understand of what the movie 'Bruce Almighty' all about. forget the insanity about GOD turned into human, and human could have the power of GOD. looks beyond it. see the significant...the beauty inside it. take the bad with the good.
yeah...alhamdulillah. if not for everything, it is really meant for what i've gone through. but i still could not effort to put so damn much hope into it. if i'm not seeing anything officialised, i just couldn't accept that i will put into frustration again.
to siti and betik, i just would like...mintak kamu berdua tolong doakan, kalau tak selalu, cukup la sekali saja, semoga aku akan berjaya sambung study aku. aku sekarang betul-betul rasa takut yg terlampau. takut aku kecewa lagi. sebab kali ni aku betul-betul berniat nak belajar, nak merasa pengalaman kat tempat orang. nak belajar hidup susah supaya kalau aku berjaya nanti aku boleh kata , aku berjaya hasil usaha aku, hasil susah payah aku, dan hasil berkat doa orang-orang yang ada sekeliling aku. lagi pun sepanjang umur aku, belum ada perkara yang aku buat sebab ada kesedaran pada diri aku. kali ni je aku rasa aku betul-betul nak cuba perbaiki diri aku. nak berubah. tak nak main-main lagi. umur makin tua. tak kan nak statik je. terus terang masa buat undergraduate dulu aku tak pernah terpikir apa sebab aku ambik degree, apa sebab aku kena dapat result elok, apa guna aku buat semua tu. yang aku tau, aku buat semua tu sebab aku seronok. tapi setakat mana seronok tu....

and today...there is shining came out from the tunnel. eventhough it was not as bright as i hope for, but it was great enough to pull back my strenght. i'd made a call to MARA, and an officer told me that my sponsorship agreement is ready and you can come to MARA to collect it on Monday. if i'm not a muslim, i will now believe there is really a GOD up above there. it is like he heard all my prayers and knew how i really hope for this. it is just like the situation that one would believe in prayer and the Almighty. the scenario really make me understand of what the movie 'Bruce Almighty' all about. forget the insanity about GOD turned into human, and human could have the power of GOD. looks beyond it. see the significant...the beauty inside it. take the bad with the good.
yeah...alhamdulillah. if not for everything, it is really meant for what i've gone through. but i still could not effort to put so damn much hope into it. if i'm not seeing anything officialised, i just couldn't accept that i will put into frustration again.
to siti and betik, i just would like...mintak kamu berdua tolong doakan, kalau tak selalu, cukup la sekali saja, semoga aku akan berjaya sambung study aku. aku sekarang betul-betul rasa takut yg terlampau. takut aku kecewa lagi. sebab kali ni aku betul-betul berniat nak belajar, nak merasa pengalaman kat tempat orang. nak belajar hidup susah supaya kalau aku berjaya nanti aku boleh kata , aku berjaya hasil usaha aku, hasil susah payah aku, dan hasil berkat doa orang-orang yang ada sekeliling aku. lagi pun sepanjang umur aku, belum ada perkara yang aku buat sebab ada kesedaran pada diri aku. kali ni je aku rasa aku betul-betul nak cuba perbaiki diri aku. nak berubah. tak nak main-main lagi. umur makin tua. tak kan nak statik je. terus terang masa buat undergraduate dulu aku tak pernah terpikir apa sebab aku ambik degree, apa sebab aku kena dapat result elok, apa guna aku buat semua tu. yang aku tau, aku buat semua tu sebab aku seronok. tapi setakat mana seronok tu....

mourning bless
aiya, cik siti aaa...to tell the truth, i'am still could not understand the concept of barking and the tree. sori la...gua lembab sikit dlm bab ni. but it's fine. just write what ever on this matter and i'll catch it little by little.
cik siti, what..?! you missed all of my games...?! pheewww...okay, i know. what can i do about it. 'org dah tak sayang kan'. but i think all of you were lucky enough. this season seems to be the worst times in our hockey carrier. 8 loses and a win, last in the pool. what the heck then...tarak ong ma...it could be the waste of time for yu guys to come and see us playing. i really demoralised with the entire performance. you played so hard, had tough times in training, and at the end it dosen't any matter. cheh...macam lirik linkin park plak...you have lost. and you lost all the way. 8 loses in a row. what a terrible....don't know what to say.
i agreed with you siti. we should invite the new born star to our conversation. mr. zack of lurks should have lots of stuff to share. the rising star should shine the realm with his blessing. enough to bright up the days. his world now is different from us, but his soul is still living inside us.
friends..i really scared of living for uk man. don't know what are the causes, but i really feel what should i do, what will i do, is it really i'm going there...oh nooo...i'm scared of having new friends. aaaa.....don't know laaa

Ponteng kerja dendam yang terindah... Wurff! Wurff!
Which tree should one bark at? Well, any one, really,as long as you feel it's worth it. Consider the amount af time, money and force you will spend on it.
Try a family's blacksheep. The sibling that always makes your parents worry, your brothers mad and your sisters crying foul. The blacksheep is a troublemaker that most people would tell you not to waste your time dispensing advice cause he or she will not listen anyway - or so they say.
But I don't think I can ever give up on a family member, blacksheep or white. He or she is family after all, and that's a tree I will not stop barking at.
So what's barking? Can be anything in any context - but in mine - in this twisted world I'm living in - it means hope. As long as we are still talking about it and doing something about it, there's hope. All of us, barking at a different tree we may be, we're still barking, no? - so there's hope yet!
So Leman? Neo? are you guys still there? Any comments? Have I made you guys skipped paragraphs yet?
It's all blab really, for that's the only thing I can produce. Not poems, not play, not novel, not haiku, not much at all lah basically. Maybe we should get our young entrepreneur friend to join us soon and see what he can make out of this all - if he has time to spare?
AFUNDI Faizal Hussein la bros if you ask me about quality. However, at RM24.90 for three AF VCDs I think you will not regret it.
However I don't think I'll buy Vince's album if he's coming out with one. Azizi highly likely, if most of the songs are ala My Umpan All Gone Already Bah!, Khai and Nija maybe.
Nak tulis article on how much money people like us are wasting for a fad like the whole AF thing? Wish I could, but I'm not in the entertainment line, and talking about how AF is leveraging on the SMS platform for interactivity is already stretching my parameters. Maybe if I ever become a specialist writer I can talk about concepts as such.
Leman, why don't you cekup the 3-in-1 VCDs and rate the interactivity level in those CDs - yg mana lagi interaktif - AF ke that "Tribute to P. Ramlee" CD the Uznuk Boys made for Pn Lili for our Multimedia class project back in PPP? (If you don't like the VCDs, I'll chip in half and we'll give it to Pexal or Bat as going away to UK come birthday present.)
Eh Neo san, gom men ne! Looks like I missed all your games this season ya? Bad timing and forgetty schwucks la most of it. I will make it up to you by giving you a copy of Cokelat and Tere debut albums (2-in-1 half-pirate edition).
p/s: I'm still trying to figure out how to edit the links and paste photos into this blog, but so far the only message I seem to get is that those features are only applicable to paid blogspace. Maybe I can open up a Yahoo Briefcase and provide links to point to a specific file in the briefcase. Any other ideas?
p/s 2: It seems like I have been plagued by a sickness, doctors call it "Sukati gua la nak datang kerja or ponteng" (SGLNDK/P). Ada sesiapa tahu apa penawarnya? Mr Leman - what do people in the HR do to people who are not being as productive as before (apart from warning and sacking them la)?
p/s 3: I love leaving a lot of post scripts - they're more fun to read. This p/s: is for telling that you guys "sound" cute writing in "bahasa kafir" (as our old batchmate Norasiah Moidu loves to call it after a few classes with Mr Wet-Blanket Fauzi of MCC). Hehheheh!! (I prefer typing hehehe to :)) or LOL - i think it adds Malay flavouring to my 2-dimensional laugh.)

pirates of the golden peninsular
well...well...well....barking to the trees?! hmm...what are trees actually? how would you define it? emmm.....
Akedemi Fantasia...I was trapped. every single individual in my family being the 'kipas susah mati' to the programme. every single night i have to give the Astro remotes control to them. no time for HBO, Cinemax, or Star Movie. but AF was actually a good programme in developing a good entertainers. Siti Hajar, Fatimah Abu Bakar, Adnan Abu Hassan, Freddie Fernandes. huge names in malaysia entertainment industry. only Linda Jasmine i'd never heard her name. who is she? anybody...and those students were really lucky to get advises and assists from them. if i'm giving such opportunities, only God can change me for not getting such knowledges.
RM 24.90 for a CD/VCD...good value if the contents are good too. i'm willing to pay RM48.90 for a CD if i knew the quality of it's content. that is why i'm always search for the details of a production before buying it. now the value of 10 cents is really meaningful for me. so i do not want to spare such amount of money for something that i will regret. i've experienced it. and almost of the CDs i sold it back, if not the exchange music it must be to friends. at a point i'm agree in those pirated CDs. out there in markets, thousand of productions are sold, but half of them were being produce because ..." hey, they'd made money from that. why don't we..." or ..."i want to be a star. a rock star....why don't just playing this music. people are crazy about it and we can make money..." can you saw there. MONEY...the phrase is em oo en ee wai....

Wurf! Wurf! Woof!
But Leman dear, I love barking at trees. Trees are such lovely creatures that deserved to be acknowledged - ala, must we restrict ourselves with a topic, this will definately work against our lovely friend Neo - for he has no notion of such things - and that's the way he is.
Besides - as far as I know you all, the more out of context the thing is, the better, ain't it? New perspectives are gained when things are discussed out of context - and this has always worked for you Leman, even when you are discussing about Siti Sarah's nose, so much so that I had to burst out the cold water out of mouth that time in KLCC.
I suggest if you have a topic you wana talk about and pry the thoughts of the rest of us in the blog - bring it on! Anything! I'd even blog about that call Kak Fz gave me last Friday about her and Juan getting engaged.
By the way - Azizi's vox OK bah! Walaupun aku nampak part yg dia agak kelam kabut cuba menguasai pentas tu during the 2nd song, rasanya boleh itu dimaafkan. Eh, I still dont know the story behind the scars or whatever that is on his face?
Sahri - well, can't say much about him cause I only saw a bit of him (AF episod dulu2) rasanya time dia cuba kira 1 sampai 100 tanpa hilang focus tu. Tapi if Sahri was eliminated simply because of his generous portions, I have to agree that sux.
So how bout that AF VCD at RM24.90 - will you buy it?

Ready to clog
And they both made it! The world is now two bloggers richer due to moi. One blog addict, one infocounter bugger and one confused fella. This is going to be...? something.
It would help if I had started the blog with a topic for everyone to contribute their two sen's worth in it, but that might restrict creativity - now look at us three, all barking at a different tree.
By the way Encik Grik aka Neo, sorry lah last Friday I too pulled out at the last minute - got stuck in HRC with a lousy IT entrepreneur. Event started late (when I called it was barely starting) and by the time I was supposed to escape, the rain caught on. So I still owe you Cokelat - you know what, I'll try burn one copy for you bleh?
To Leman Spy, I think Azizi did a vonderful job at the AF Finals. Eh what happened to his face lah? Or should I be asking Pexal for all these slimy details?
Talk bros!

Did Betik got in?
Betik emailed me saying he managed to post something on this blog. I checked, but so far nothing yet on the kugiransays page. Did Betik got in?
I logged in and checked at the Posting area. Well hell yes he got in. Siap mengAFUNDI aku lagi tu. [Yeah right, wanna hear me sing and flood KL at the same time?] And what's with that Leman Spy name anyway?
Anyway, congrats Betik, you are now a blogger. And that's a milestone achieved! Bila lah Encik Gerik pulak nak muncul yek..?

Confession
I am addicted to blogging. It started with an assignment in which I had to find cool blogs to feature in the mag, but at that time I only know that people write about war and important topics in their blog.
After a visit to About I found out bloggers write about almost everything, anything at all. Jenny B said she liked TV Smith's My DuaSen blog, and it was on his site I found this particular site called Kisah Seorang Limau Nipis. The blogger wrote about many things - theater, books, animation, current issues and he also posted interviews (personalities include bloggers, writers, critics, etc) - as his interests are similar to mine (though not entirely) I keep coming back.
Anyway, this is my third blog, and it's my first attempt to get others to blog with me. So let's see how soon my "50s stars mates" respond.
