From past till now...

Suddenly had the urge to add an entry to my near-extinct blog...

Important updates since my last entry in Jan 2010(in chronological order, i think)

1) Obtained Class 2A License (in one try, 4 pts baby!!!)

2) Completed NS (like finally...)

3) Was jobless for like 2 months, juz enjoying freedom (aka lazying around and gaining weight :P)

4) Got a job at SPH, CSO...again?

5) Got my driving license... WOO HOO!!! its about time...

6) Finally, after 2-3 years of wait, i've entered NIE...

So here i am. Into my 3rd month in NIE. Malay specialization track (not by choice, MOE pre-assigned, but no complaints on my end) I've really learnt to enjoy my time in NIE, the good company of friends...

But somehow, i feel that there's still a void in my heart. I felt this way before... in poly... in ns... in sph... and same thing here in NIE.

Why?

Why do i always feel this way? I fucking hate it.

Its like im surrounded by so many friends, but i dun feel whole. Like im missing something.

Never mind... Why do i even bother writing here anyway? The only person reading it, is well... me....

So yah, thats it. Peace out.

Goodbye 2009. Hello 2010.

Abit late dont you say, 30 days to be exact. But hey, who cares?

MOE sent a letter recently. Sparked back my eagerness to enter NIE.

NS has been such a bore. Same thing day in day out.

Cant wait ORD.

My time will come... soon... very soon...

2009-12-31T07:47:00.002+08:00

HAPPY 21ST BIRTHDAY TO MYSELF

Thanks to all that remembered...

And thanks to my family, and my sister especially for organising that special birthday surprise...

It was a memorable weekend indeed...

2009-09-26T22:58:00.001+08:00

Just dropped by to say...

SELAMAT HARI RAYA MAAF ZAHIR BATIN

and btw, i've taken out my P-Plate already...

Woohoo! One year rider baby... Super 4 here i come...

2009-08-29T21:20:00.000+08:00

I apologise if the entry below will offend anyone (...though i believe no one will come across it since no one knows this blog has been resurrected)...

And i'm going to try my best to blog in Malay, coz i can feel that my written use of it is dwindling and slowly getting flushed down the drain due to the lack of usage.

Here goes...

Ramadhan datang jua, menemui kita tahun ini... Entah mengapa, tahun ni Ramadhan lebih bermakna bagi ku...

Tapi ini bukanlah topik yang ingin ku ketengahkan sebagai wadah pembahasan...

Tidak lama dahulu, ku diberitakan bahawa seorang sahabatku adalah homoseksual... beliau tidak tertarik kepada jantina yang lain, malah tertarik kepada jantina sendiri...

Agak terkejutku dibuatnya... tapi aku redha and tetap menerimanya sebagai sahabatku.

Mungkin satu faktor besar keputusanku ini ialah beliau bukan seorang Melayu, bukan seorang Muslim...

Topik homoseksual ini bukanlah sesuatu perkara yang baru, bahkan sudah wujud seawal zaman Nabi Lud, dimana kaumnya bergaul sesama sendiri, hinggalah mengundang kemurkaan Allah dan diturunkan bala bencana yang menghapuskan mereka semua.

Aku sendiri tidak setuju dan membantang perbuatan yang keji ini. Tapi aku terima bahawa ada di antara kita yang lain, berbeza dari am nya...

Tetapi bukankah agama telah, dengan terangnya melarang perbuatan ini?... Bukankah ia haram, perbuatan yang mendatang dosa amat besar. Namun mengapakah masih ada yang melakukannya?...

Bukankah percintaan di antara seorang gadis dan teruna itu lebih mulia, lebih menyenangkan... bahkan masjid yang dibina bersama dianugerahkan pahala...

Mesej blogku ini senang dan ringkas... aku tidak kisah jika seorang sahabatku seorang homoseksual, tetapi amnya, aku menentang ideologi ini... Ia salah di sisi agama, and tersangat dipandang serong masyarakat kita...

So dont tell the world that you are ***, keep it to urself...

For i detest it...

2009-08-15T22:00:00.000+08:00

I NEED A BREAK!

I just do... this whole servitude to the nation is just plain tiring.

I know i've ranted on about this before, but it's really starting to bug me now.

$400 is not merely enough to cover for the shit i'm doing...

And i still have more than a year to waste...

FUCK!... I've never cursed here before... but i juz feel... fuck man!

FUCK THIS SHIT!...

1 more year... juz one more...

and hey, I've survived worst...

2009-06-28T17:54:00.002+08:00

A friend of mine recently asked me, "How's life beyond NS?"

My reply... " Virtually non-existent"

Its a hard fact to swallow, but its true. Of late i've been too engrossed in the problems of this servitude to the nation that i've not had much activity outside of it. Weeknights are spent at home, watching tv and then off to bed as early as 9. And my weekends arent any better. Mostly spent sleeping at home recuperating for the fatigue felt from work. On a good month, i would go out probably just once or twice with friends. Other than that, NS gets in the way...

Its time like these that really make me missed the good old days... Sigh...

So i've made a goal for myself, to at least go out and have fun every now and then. I might be tired from work, but hey, i do need to go out and chill.

Ed's birthday coming soon, so thats one outing in the making. Plus Harry Potter's coming out, so thats another...

Finally, things to look forward to...

2009-05-30T00:26:00.002+08:00

Its 12.30...midnight...

My body's aching...my mind is stressed... and my eyes are just screaming to be shut closed. So what am i doing on a friday midnight? Nothing really, nothing when the thing i should do is sleeping.

I juz need to take a break from all the shit that is happening around me... a very long break. If u ask me, i would rather take up arms, be in combat gear 24/7 if that is what i need to do to escape all these. I cant take it...anymore...

I really miss having someone to talk to... someone of the opposite sex. Being around males everyday for the past 6 months has really made me appreciate women. I believe in any workplace there should be balance of both genders. Both have their strengths, and therefore can compliment each other to bring about a healthy workplace. But try juz having men running EVERYTHING, from clerical work to ground. There are jus some things men SUCK at, and there's where women come in to give us a helping hand.

I NEED A BREAK! Or better still, post me out from this living hell. I dun think i can survive this...

2009-05-26T23:59:00.002+08:00

Whats the world coming to these days? I see kindergarteners with state of the art 3.5G phones, mere toddlers with psps in their hands... and oh, whats this? 11 year olds with blogs. BLOGS i tell you. When i was 11 i was still reading enid blyton storybooks, and playing capteh during recess. Whats the world coming to man? Like seriously dude...

I guess there's nothing to be alarmed here. I mean, its no longer the year 1999. Its 2009 for gods sake, and boy do things change over the course of 10 years. As an 11 year old ten years back i would never have predicted the world to be in such a state as we are living in. The technological advancements, the rapid pace of living in such a society... Things were much simpler back then, in the days of the humble Gameboy, and the Digimon. Boy who could forget that!

Now 21, or almost, life is no longer juz a simple routine. Long gone are the days of just having to worry about schools, exams, and homework. Now come to think of it its not that bad after all. If given the chance i would trade anything juz to be a kid again. Yeah sure exams were such a bore, but when compared with the complexities of adult life, hey, exams arent that frightening anymore.

But my real test has yet to begin. I mean, i'm not even married yet for goodness sake. Plus i've not even done with studying yet. So looks like i still have a long way to go. While this whole national sertitude thingy may seem like a waste of time to me, hey, i still have to do it. I could suffer in this discontent the next year and a half, or just embrace this short hurdle that everyone has to encounter. October '10 isnt that far off, so i guess i'll stop whining and just move along. That said i really cant wait for this to be over, and boy when it does, there's much a celebrating to do my friend.

Digimon battling, anyone?

2009-04-11T00:30:00.003+08:00

You know what they always say, that you will never really appreciate something until it's gone... Well, thats how i feel about the life i left behind at oeti... All the wonderful memories, friends and instructors alike...

But hey, life moves on right. If i could i would most certainly like to just stay there, but hey, i said the same thing about poly... and secondary school... and primary! So as much as i have grown attached to a certain place, sometimes, there comes a time when we have to leave and progress on to the next chapter of our lives...

That said, i just want to get this NS thingy done and over with, so i can MOVE ON... Not that i mind serving the nation, its juz that i'm watching two years of my life roll past doing some things i will NEVER EVER do outside of the military... but oh well...

It's April already, and wouldnt u noe, its been almost a year since graduation! But from that time till now, we HAVE YET to have a class gathering! Kinda sad rite... But come to think of it, we took 3 freaking years just to have a proper complete class bbq back then. So i wudnt be surprised if a class gathering wud take that long... or gulp, longer!

Random, random, random... Now just blurting out any thing that comes to mind...

p.s Mandai's not bad. It's near, the ppl aint that bad... BUT I HATE FALLING OUT LATE! For goodness sake ppl i'm only paid $400 and there's no overtime!

2009-03-21T12:17:00.002+08:00

Alot of things happened to me since the last time i blogged. And some i muz say have certainly made an impact on my life...

Looking back at all my previous entries for the past years, it made me remember how nice it was to keep a blog... My own personal diary... My journal...

Some people blog just for fun...others for fame... I write just for me... To be able to remember all the past events that has left an impression on me, so that i can REMEMBER! 5 or 10 years from now, i want to be able to sit down and read this blog, and be able to recollect all the memories that has happen in my teens and young adulthood.

It would be nice... to just remember...

I dont know why, but i just miss school... the early innocence of primary school, the kid-teenager transition in secondary, and of course the unforgettable times in poly... Damn I miss school...

But NS life isnt all bitter and dull. I've made friends here i've never thought i would. Some i can safely say will continue to be a part of my life in 5, 10 or even 20 years from now. Definitely the experiences i've gained here will be embedded in me for the rest of my life, and for that i am grateful...

Nothing in this world ever last, and that i noe well enough... My early childhood is now just a memory, The fun and laughter of secondary school all behind me... and the oh-so-wonderful life of DMSM has long been missed... People have moved on... And so have I...

What awaits me in the years to come is mine to make, and i plan to make good on it... And i plan to make it as memorable as all my past experiences.

So whats next for me?... Another year plus serving this nation of mine, then reentering the schooling world for 4 years for a piece of paper, and finally settling down in my chosen career as a "moulder of tomorrow's future"... All set in stone you say? No, nothing's ever certain. We can only plan, and plan for the best, but it is in He that makes it all happen...

Very sentimental isnt it, this entry of mine. Unlike past posts where laughter is always the content of the day, I just feel... like there's something in me that needs releasing, and writing this entry has let out some of it. I pray to Him for strength, for i know that i am weak... with weaknesses stained with shame...But I must be strong, and move forward. I am the pen in this diary of life, and it is up to me how to write my own story... So in remembering all that i have left behind, I intend to forge memories that I will remember fondly...forever...

So perhaps i'm taking back on what i said about closing down this blog. It used to be a fun avenue for friends to peep into my life, and me into theirs. Now its just personal. Just for me.

Just for me...

2008-12-14T01:21:00.002+08:00

2008-08-18T09:57:00.002+08:00

...Why do we fall?...

...So that we can learn to pick ourselves up...

An excerpt from one of my favourite movies, yet holding such a significance in the light of recent events...

Indeed, we must learn to pick ourselves up from a fall, for it is the best way to learn from it...

They said, u learn so much more from a thousand failures than a single success...

(That said, i dont want to be doing it a thousand times b4 succeeding...)

Well, there's only one thing to do now, and that is to move forward...

So Mr Journal, looks like I have to wait a while longer to join the Riding Community... Sigh...

The next time I take the test there better be no DUMB girl who went in the wrong lane in front of me...

(...sayang seh... lagi sikit dah nak pass... 14 points je tau... Ni sumer budak pompuan tu nye pasal la... Kenaper la boleh bodoh sangat masok wrong lane? Yang aku ni pulak sedap je ikut dier... Sial la... 14 points je beb, lagi sikit... Tapi takpe lah. Maybe all these happened for a reason... So lain kali jangan buat lagi paham tak?!!!... Keep ur distance juz in case another stupid rider does the same mistake...)

I shall start blogging again...but...

2008-07-28T12:34:00.002+08:00

Here i am, staring into blank space in the office of my new temp job, yawning my ass off due to extreme boredom... and then, it suddenly struck me.

I should start blogging again...

Hence the birth of my latest entry, after like months and months of absence. Not that people wud care anywayz. Many of my frens have stopped blogging too, with only a handful still continuing this tradition.

Well, i think the main reason for me to restart blogging wud be for nostalgic purposes. Juz the other day i was totally bored from having nothing to do at work so i went to my blog (wic by the way i've not visited in a while, a very long while), so i started reading my past entries... and boy did i have a good time. It brought back so many memories of school, which i muz admit that i miss SO MUCh!!!

Abit update about me... Completed 3 years of DMSM, completed 21 freaking long weeks at Megamedia where i interned ( but hey, if any Megamedians happen to read this entry, let u in on a little secret. I MISS U GUYS!!! especially two special ladies whom i worked very closely with... Ehem2 u noe who u are... hehehe.... )

So yah, i'm a poly graduate now, WITH A DIPLOMA. What's next for me? Going into tekong on the 24th October for the unavoidable national service. Then after that, come 2010, i'll be entering NIE as a teacher-will-be... hehe, back to school then it seems...

As for now, i'm "temping" a this polymer stuff company as a saikang...oops admin assistant for the next two months while waiting for ns to start... The job's actually not so bad, but most the time i have nothing to do, and everyone arnd me is conversing in Mandarin... Doesnt anyone speak English arnd here!!?? (Not surprising since 100% of their manpower are Chinese...) But i'm not complaining la. The pay's not bad (sufficient la to say the least), and it's only a 10 mins bus ride for home, so i take at the most half of hour to get there and back... Cool yeah?... So i guess i'll juz hang in there for two months b4 finally embracing NS like all the rest who've entered b4 me...

So yah, that's it for me. Till next time when i suddenly feel the urge to blog, i shall leave u all with a simple "Azmi misses all of you and wishes u all the best in whatever u are doing now, be it slaving under the hot tekong sun or entering the fresh new life of a U-student...

So take care yah...

and one more thing, wish me luck for the 14th of August, coz i'll be taking my Motorcycle Class 2B practical test then... Thanks...

Byezzz...

2007-12-30T22:41:00.000+08:00

After months and months of neglect, it is finally time to let this blog lay to rest.

Abangazmi.blogspot.com officially closes it curtains and bids a fond farewell...

(Until my next blog, which I am planning to start with a brand new name, like perhaps lordoftherings.blogspot or aragornrocks.blogspot or something, i shall retire from blogging...)

Till then...

HAPPY NEW YEAR AND HAVE A BLESSED 2008!!!

Enjet-Enjet Semut

2007-09-01T23:52:00.001+08:00

Havent seen this video for such a long. Then the sudden talk about it over lunch with my peepz on Friday sparked my interest in it again. It's always a joy to watch, so for all those who missed it the first time around, this is for you to ENJOY!

Duty Calls...

2007-08-06T22:55:00.000+08:00

After all the stress and mountain-high workloads in school, i'd never thought that i would ever blog again...

But boy was i wrong...

Recent events have called me back to active duty, to at least write this one entry so that everyone and everyone knows...

The problem is...Where should i start?...

Alright, let's just start on a light note... A very simple question, how has poor old Azmi been these past few months...

Quite alright, surviving nicely in the midst of shitloads of things to do in school... and hey, to top things off, his "once quiet and peaceful" world, isnt so peaceful anymore...

But where do i begin?...

I shall break it up into segments, so as to ease readers...so if you think what i'm writing is pure bullshit, feel free to just skip the paragraph, or simply close this window...but hey, my advice is, read on friend, for you'll never know if it concerns you...

But let it be known, no names shall be mentioned, and no mentions shall be named...

MR INVISIBLE

Mr Invisible here has always been Mr Invisible... For a very long time in his life, he has tried to fit in into the majority... But it seems, the majority just tends to ignore, or brush him aside... Mr Invisible may have sinned alot in my life, to have God punish him like this, but whatever it is, Mr Invisible has always has never taken it to heart, and whatever pain comes his way, Mr Invisible tries to absorb it all in, and carry on in life.

It has never been easy, but Mr Invisible is grateful that at least there's still a few by his side, who understands his plights, and often lend a listening ear... Mr Invisible is thankful...

But so that you know, the events of last week did left a deep, very deep scar in Mr Invisible's heart...

Mr Invisible hasnt been spending time with you for a while, so he thinks that maybe staying a little while longer after school would make a difference...

He was wrong...

Mr Invisible...is indeed invisible...

His heart shatters, a long walk home, all alone, sad and torn beyond words...

If you could hurt Mr Invisible so badly, think of how your friends must be feeling...

But that said, Mr Invisible accepts your apology...with all his heart. After all, he was never one to be hateful and one who seeks vengeance. Forgive and forget, that what he always says...

But to be honest, the outing the day after was abit ackward...Mr Invisible suddenly feels like Mr Guilty...for now he knows, that from then on, every outing will just be an act of guilt... He is sorry that it has to be this way... Maybe Mr Invisible should just remain to be Mr Invisible...

After all, what makes you so sure that it will never happen again?...It happened not once, not twice, certainly not thrice...So makes you so sure that it will never happen again?...

MR PROBLEM SOLVER

Maybe it's just him, or maybe it's the way he was raised, but Mr Problem Solver here has always put the problems of others before him. He does not care what happens to himself, as long as the people around him are happy...

So when Mr Problem Solver sees the people around him, the people that he cares in a state of unrest and disorder, he just cant leave it as it is...

3 years of friendship is not easily broken...not by any means...

You might not care, He might not care, She might not care...but hey, Mr Problem Solver here cares...

Mr Problem Solver has indeed been fortunate to have known friends like all of you, so to see you in this state of "Cold War" saddens him alot... He knows that until this issue is resolved, he can never lead a normal and fulfilling life... After all, how can one live happily while his friends around him simply act cold and harsh to each other?...

He has made it his mission in life...So even if he dies, at least he knows he died trying...

Mr Problem Solver has heard, seen and felt both sides of the story. Contradicting facts have been heard, and naturally, it is difficult to choose between two parties which you both care...

In this case, so that it is clear, Mr Problem Solver takes no sides, but he takes it upon himself, to know both sides of the story, which indeed he has... All he cares now, is that things to go back to normal, to the time when all was green and peaceful...

Even if it kills him...for he knows, no many actually share his ambition of solving this problem...

From the way Mr Problem Solver sees it, it all started from events of misunderstanding... Things so minor can indeed be blown out of proportions...

A simple act of not agreeing to dinner can be seen as an act of "showing attitude", and a simple act of not smiling is deemed to an act of hostility...

But has anybody stopped to think of why the other party is acting this way?...

A fire is not started if there wasnt a spark...

And Mr Problem Solver fears that if this is left unsolved, it would just become worst... and Mr Problem Solver does not wish for it be so...

He says it again, 3 years of friendship is not easily broken, and even if it is, it not worth broken over such a matter like this...

Mr Problem Solver just doesnt understand...

Why?...

Mr Problem Solver isnt his normal self since all this shit happens...

You might all think, what does Mr Problem Solver has to do with any of this?...

Just two simple words..."He Cares"...

Let it be known, even if he fails, he would know that he has tried his best to ease both sides, and help create resolve for this conflicts...

After all, this is his mission in life...

AZMI

A simple boy, a simple man...

That was an exceptionally long entry, i think the longest ever written in the history of this blog...

But do take your time to read it, coz it's very important...

For his efforts shall go in vain if this entry was just left to the closed eye...

Tomorrow shall be another day... I shall see what awaits...

2007-06-16T22:09:00.000+08:00

Well, everything that has a beginning, has an end...

Abangazmi.blogspot.com has gone through alot of memories for the past year... There's the sad ones, the happy ones, the emo ones and the just plain nonsense ones...

Whatever they are, they are all memorable ones...

Due to the lack of time, and also the lack of energy in me these days, i shall finally retire from blogging. I might just write a thing or two here from time to time, but now, i can safely say that i have retired from my "blogging profession"... It was fun while it lasted, and i hope you had fun reading it too...

Farewell from this simple guy...may we meet in the near future...

I'm still available 5 days a week in NYP...

Goodbye...

and so ends abangazmi.com............

2007-05-01T15:19:00.000+08:00

May Day...

Also known as Labour Day...

Celebrated all around the world...

But what does May Day has to do with you right?...

Well, it doesnt...

Unless you're a worker in the workforce yourself...

Like me...

Supposed to work today, but Mr Bossman didnt contact me. So i'd figure he forgot, i also forgot lor. So i just stayed and slacked at home. And guess who called just now? Lucky it wasnt my boss, just a fellow manager colleague.

"Hey Azmi, you noe you supposed to work today?"

(Me, trying to sound "surprised")" Really har? Ooo, boss didnt tell me what time leh? I juz take off today la"

"Ok lor. Can Can. See u saturday"

Phew...that went well...

I'm just so tired. I try not to show it in school, especially infront of my groupmates. And i dun show it at home...I just keep it to myself. It's my burden, and mine alone. It was my choice...

That said...I had no regrets...

Happy May Day people...

With a special one going out to my Dad and my Mum...

Especially my Dad...Now i noe how much he treasures his off days and public holidays...

Now i noe...

2007-04-30T19:53:00.000+08:00

My blog has been rather silent this past week.

I just can't seem to find the time to blog, let alone visit it.

By the time i reach home, i'll be dead tired from TEP, and weekends are burnt with my commitments to McDonalds.

I'm dead tired now. Tomorrow's a supposed holiday, but i think i'm working. Just waiting for the call from my boss.

Maybe i shud juz off my hp...hehe...so bad!...

That's all for me now. Shall "retire" from blogging. Juz too busy and too tired...

Off to bed now, and it's only 8.30pm...

good nitez.

2007-04-18T16:50:00.000+08:00

In school now...

Yup, after 2 long months of "slavery" in a fast food restaurant, i have finally returned to the life of a poly student.

A third year student that is...

Old alreadi liao...hehehe...

I was chuckling to myself on the first day of school two days back, looking at massive groups of teenagers waiting by the mrt interchange la, the linkway la, the atrium la... The first word that came to my mind was... FRESHIES!!!...

Definitely...

That unmistakable 'lost' look...that over-dressed outfit... Definitely the look of a newbie, fresh out of secondary school...hehe...

Well...life in TEP isnt that bad, depending on how u look at it...

There's plenty of free time, so plenty that one might know what to do with it...

It's basically "OWN TIME OWN TARGET"...U can do anything and everything u want, juz as long as u deliver what is needed of you by the dateline...

It's juz like the working world...minus the pay that is...

I think i'll do just fine these six months...God Willing... Just need to pace myself, eat right and get plenty of rest...considering that even weekends are burnt with my work commitments...

I shall end here for today, and depending on my mood the next few days, i think i shall rest from blogging for a while... Not for long, just a while, maybe a day or two...hehe...

Bye peoplez...toodles...

2007-04-14T11:52:00.000+08:00

Saturday morning...

Finally...a weekend off...

Well, it seems after such a long time spent away from school, it's about time we all starting packing up for yet another long semester of education...

TEP starts on Monday...

It's about time too...

Niwaez, here's a speedy update on my not-so-extravagant life...

- Can safely say that i'm a McDonalds all rounder, completed learning all the stations i need to learn (although i muz admit i need a few more practices on the Foldover and the Chicken Fantastic...but i'll catch up)... Next up, managerial duties...hehehe...

- I'm still deliberating (after soooo loooong) whether i shud buy a new handphone or not. I do have the money now, but then again, i dunnoe leh whether shud buy or not. Saw this ad on the papers, some 2nd hand phones selling at an unusually low price. Going to check it out later, muz check first...wait kena con...hehe

- And lastly, well...i juz cant wait to go back to school... 3rd year student alreadi leh...hehe

Well, i shall end here...

Please go and enjoy urself these last two days... I noe i will, coz if my calculations are correct, i would not get another restday like this for a VERY VERY LONG TIME...considering weekdays are packed from 830 to 6, and weekends are juz as packed with work...

tsk tsk tsk...what have u gotten yourself into mr floor manager man?...more than 9hrs a day and 7 days a week... it's ur funeral...

We shall see how i hold up in the long run, but i'm confident i'll do juz fine... God Willing...

See u on Monday...

Byez...

Blue and maroon...if you asked me i like the colour blue more...

So when my 'favourite' blue manager uniform got bleached, (by accident actually la), u can guess my instant reaction...

But hey... you cant be upset with ur mum for washing ur clothes... These things happen. (Once in a blue moon to one unlucky low quality shirt that is...sigh)

So now, my blue uniform has this blob of purple just under the sleeve area (how strategic...my mum said ppl wont be able to see it one la, but guess how many of my colleagues asked me about my shirt this morning?...Sheesh)

But like i said, i cant complain though. I know it was my mum's accidental fault, but cant blame her mah. She wakes up early at 5.30am everyday (and i do mean EVERYDAY) to carry out her housechores, and that includes washing the clothes and all. She does this day in and day out without a fuss, so for that i am thankful.

Thanks mum, although i never really show how appreciative i am that u wash my clothes everyday...

But hey people, dont think i'm a lazy ass ok. I do help with the housechores too, more often than u think. I always hang out the clothes to dry, sometimes (coz i hate this one) fold the clothes, and will always iron my own set of uniforms or clothes...

Another one more week before school reopens... I dunnoe about u but i cant seem to wait...

So if u see me on the streets, wearing my blue manager uniform, and u notice that 'ugly' blob of purple just under my armpit area, u noe what happened...don't ask...

One word...

FINALLY!...

Mr Floor Manager started parading to work in his new dashing uniform already, started from yesterday to be exact...

Hehehe...imagine the grin on my face...

But i noe in my heart, i'm still one of them la. I have built such a close bonds with many of my crew, many of which have become good friends of mine. It does feel a little weird looking distinctively different from all of them, but its just the uniform...

I'm still one of them, although many a time i'm reminded that my responsibilities are loads more...

School starting soon...Azhar had his orientation just now, and will still be for the next few days...

So how's life as an NYPian huh bro?...hehehe...

School starting soon, very soon. Cant wait...

I shall end here now...till next entry...take care...

and also here's wishing a happy birthday to bro andy...hehehe

2007-03-28T22:27:00.000+08:00

I'm seriously running out of entertainment in my house...

I used to crave for off days back when i was with Metro... now, everytime i get one, i'm wishing for a speedy return back to work.

Xbox has been down for more than a month now, and being my primary source of entertainment, i have been one dull boy these few weeks...

I now find myself walking aimlessly round the house looking for something to do. And everytime i bump into my mum, i would sigh,"Nak buat aper eh?" ("What to do huh?")

I would stare blankly into my piles of vcds and dvds, sorting them one by one...

P.Ramlee movies...watched them all...

Star Wars...maybe later...

Lord of The Rings...Just finished watching these...

Naked Gun...funny, but just watched this last sunday...

Mary Poppins...hmm, not in the mood for musicals now...

And i would sit my ass off in front of the laptop, thinking of what to surf...

Blog-hopping...done that, countless times...

Youtube-ing...everyday...

Blogging...ever so often...

Oh well, i've got 'tagged' by Khairul, and to quote from his blog...

"this is what you are supposed to cut and paste to participate in the tagging game.. People who get tagged need to write in a blog of their own 6 weird things about themselves as well as state the rules clearly. In the end, you need to choose 6 people to be tagged and list their names. After you do that, leave them each a comment letting them know you tagged them and to read your blog."

But sorry la bro, i was thinking of what's weird about me, and the only thing i can think of is that i can stand watching LOTR day after day without feeling bored... hehehe...

Another 3 more days before Mr Manager starts parading to work...hehe...3 more days...

Off to town tmr with azhar...been a long time since i've gone jalan2 in town... but hey, i go to town for work everyday...hehehe...

thats it for now...azmi out...

2007-03-25T21:49:00.000+08:00

It'll be another 3 weeks or so before school starts, and boy cant i wait... This happens every single semester, every single holiday... While people are sitting their ass off at home watching hours after hours of prisonbreak or desperate housewives, and also praying for a longer holiday, Here i am slaving at work wishing for a speedy return back to school...

I mean, dont u guys miss school?!...I do...hehehe...

Oh well, i guess if i'm having fun in some part of Australia, or happily visiting some long lost relatives in China, or having the time of my life just relaxing at home, i'll be wanting a longer holiday too... But hey, my life as a floor manager has to go on... Not that i'm complaining though...hehehe...

1st April 2007...

Remember this date people...for it shall be the day i will start wearing my manager uniform... Thats right... A smacking new dashing maroon shirt, minus the ridiculous cap...hehe... Actually i've gotten my uniform already, but bossman said give it another week, not that i mind...I'd rather polish up my skills first rather make a fool in front of the customers...

(note to self... When bossman wants to order my 2nd set of uniform, please go and tell him to order the 'L' size... The 'XL' he gave me is FREAKING HUGE!!!... How was i supposed to know that the manager size XL is different from the crew size one?... Maybe the mcdonalds tailor thinks that managers are generally more big sized than the crew huh?)

Tomorrow off...again!... I'm getting too many off days man... this week alone i'm only working 3 freaking days...wtf... I think i shall ask bossman to put me up for full shifts come april, want to earn that extra few bucks la...hehe...

sayonara people... i'm off for today...take care peepz...:)

2007-03-21T23:01:00.000+08:00

Pay's in...but as predicted, it depleted quite quickly...after paying my debts to my mum, paying the internet bills and topping up the ezlink cards...

Oh well, so much for wanting to buy a new handphone...

Maybe with next month's pay la...It wont be long, considering that i get my pay every two weeks...Hehe...

Already listed down the things i want to buy...but first muz see whether got enough money la...hehehe...

1) New Handphone...Nothing too fancy. A nice 2nd hand phone wud do. Besides, all i need a phone for is to make calls and send smses only what. Btw, i'm changing my phone coz i need to leh, my current K500i abit old alreadi. Keeps malfunctioning on me...tisk tisk...

2) Belanje family makan... as promised...hehehe

3) That nice shirt i saw at John Little, while going out with izzat the other day. (bro, if u dun want it, i want leh...Too bad i cant go to the DnD, if not i wud have worn that shirt...hehehe)

And thats about it...you cant do much with a couple of hundred dollars can you...Oh well, i'm still grateful to God that i have a job to say the least...hehe...

Btw, my hair is getting freaking long...it looks more like a bush than human hair. But then, hati dah niat ar... I will only cut me hair when me gets me manager uniform...hehe...which shud be soon, i hope...

Oh well, enuff of my rantings...shall go surf the net for a little longer, then maybe cook myself supper or something... CSI's starting later, at 1am...on Channel 5 that is...reruns of it...

bye people...azmi out...

2007-03-19T10:44:00.000+08:00

I am mixed with emotions now...

On one side...elated, utter happiness, overspilling with joy...

On the other... frustration, anger, fed-up...

But before u make ur own assumptions, let me elaborate.

I'm super-happy with my exam results. It's may not the best of the lot, but old azmi is satisfied. Thank god i passed MMR, it was the paper that i was least confident in. Phew!...

That said, all the other papers were good too... A nice ending to my last exams of poly life... Hehe...

But hey, on the flipside... I am super frustrated. Why?... My pay havent come in yet leh. I thought it was supposed to come in on the 16th, latest 18th...or something like that. When Richard (my boss...) explained to me about the pay and all on the first day, i wasnt paying that much attention la...maybe my mind was drifting away coz tired mah first day work...

Note to self...Tomorrow muz ask him when i see him...MUST!!!...

So much for the long weekend...but pocket empty...sigh...

but at least my weekend isnt all that lonely with despair coz no money...hehe...still had fun going out here and there...

AND CAN U BELIEVE I PLAYED PARA PARA YESTERDAY!!!... never in my mature teenage life will i ever think of playing that game... But hey, when its done in the company of good frens, it doesnt hurt the ego that much...hehe... That said, u will never catch me playing that game by myself...

Meeting Izzat later to watch 300... which according to Darryn has alot of ehem ehem...hehehe...

Oh well... I think what my mum said just now what right... The later i get my pay, the later i will spend it all... True, if i've gotten my pay last week, it would have depleted rapidly over the weekend...

I shall be patient...I've been patient for the past two weeks, i shud be able to wait another week or so...

Ok then...i shall end here for today...

Happy travelling for all those flying abroad...

Happy working and homing for all of us left back home...

azmi out...

2007-03-17T16:13:00.000+08:00

Was getting really bored today, and thought of what to do...

So yah, i did it again, i changed my blogskin...

Hope you like it... I liked my previous blogskin, with all the pink and all. But then again, i could always use a new blogskin.

Another week at McDonalds have passed. Proceeded to the next station, counter! So yup, i can take order and all now. I'm trying to get myself verified for this station by the end of next week, and then move on to the next station. Before u noe it, i'll be a full-pledged floor manager. Hehe...

Enjoy ur holidays, or what's left of it. I hope to see u soon...

Byezz...

2007-03-11T21:43:00.000+08:00

I'm now staring at my laptop screen, thinking of what to blog about... I have a thousand and one things to say, but my mind is just blank rite now... Dunnoe what to write...

Ah yes... as andre wud say it, "I've got INSPIRASI!!!"...

Work at McDonalds is seriously taking a toll on me... A VERY HUGE ONE!!!...

Remember when i worked at Metro, and i keep dreaming about shoes, and hearing voices in my head asking for shoes sizes and all, this time its worse, alot worse!...

I keep hearing the beeping sound of the fryer... I keep hearing orders of burgers and products that i need to cook... I can even smell BURGERS AND FRIES!!!...

I didnt sleep all too well last night... Went to bed early actually, at ten after a hard day's work, but i tossed and turned so hard i only got to sleep at 2am... I keep hearing burger orders and fryer beepers...

But i'll get over it... it usually takes a month or so for my mind to adapt to things... only then will the dreams and voices in the head stop... Happens every time...

It happened with Long John Silvers...
It happened with Watsons...
It happened with CPF...
It happened with Metro...
and yup, it has happen again with McDonalds...

I bet it will happen again with IPP...

On my way home just now, i saw something that i have not seen FOR YEARS...in singapore that is. Take a trip across the causeway and u'll see shitloads of it... U want to noe what it is?...

AN ILLEGAL PIRATED VCD VENDOR!!!...

I thought these things were 'extinct' in present Singapore...

Sure they were rampant like 4-5 years back...but since the police made raids after raids after raids, they kinda disappeared!!!...

Until just now...

But i'm pretty darn sure the police will come by soon... There's bound to be some good samaritan who will dial 999, and the men in blue will arrive soon after. Hehe...

Got two days rest from work...again... I keep getting off days, not that i'm complaining though...

Take care y'all...

azmi out...

"Welcome to our monthly management meeting...first on our agenda today, We have a new member onboard the management team...So Azmi, would you like to introduce yourself to the managers?..."

My First Management Meeting...

It felt weird, but at the same time a fresh new experience...

I mean, at 19, not many can proudly say that they are managers of a well-established organization...Even if i'm just the floor manager, i'm still a manager what...hehehe...

But still, my big boss doesnt know that i only have at most till October to be with them... I havent told him about my IPP yet... Maybe i'll tell him in June or July la...hmm...

So i've made up my mind. I shall continue on even in TEP...TEP are only on weekdays, 8.30-6... so i can still do weekends...

Only time will tell whether i'll be able endure the tight schedule once school starts...

By the way, i'll still wearing the stupid, ridiculous, ugly and highly unfashionable crew uniform, complete with the ridiculous CAP!...but for now, i dun care very much. My pay is still the floor manager pay, and that's more important...hehehe...

Now thinking back, i should have joined McDonalds a long time ago...

School starts in about a month...i think... My boss also doesnt know when i'll start back school, coz i myself dun noe when... Shall tell him soon la... It shud be on the 16th April rite?...

i'm reading back at this entry, and realised that it's all over the place, jumping from one topic to another...but hey, who cares?...hehe...

Tomorrow's my off day...again...and my first pay shud be coming in next week or so...hehe...

till then...azmi out...

2007-03-06T20:49:00.000+08:00

Havent posted pics for quite a while now... Was looking thru my camera for pics and came across these fews... Some dating as far back as last year...

Family and i went Vivocity last saturday...Spent some good quality time just chilling out with my loved ones... Caught GhostRider too...finally...

This was my dad's birthday i think...LAST DECEMBER!!!

A more recent pic... This was a my parent's 19th wedding anniversary celebration... It may seem like dejavu, but both my youngest sister and I bought my parents the same gift... A MUSIC BOX!!!...Lucky it was a different make and play a different tune...Phew!...

A bowling outing with qamarul, faizal and azhar...last december i think, slightly after Hari Raya...

Sorry if the picture's abit too dark...no flash la... Also another bowling outing, this time with big bro Izzat...Shall go for another soon...Just waiting for my first pay to come in...hehehe...

Well...those are some of the pics that i've discovered left in my camera. There were some more but i think i've posted the particular event alreadi... I now have this habit of not clearing my SD cards after each occasion, leaving my camera with full of pictures, some of which i dun even remember...hehe...

Well, working morning tomorrow...plus i still havent studied my 'notes'... That's right...NOTES...notes on how to prepare the perfect burger and frying the perfect fries...hehe...

Till next time, azmi out...

2007-03-06T00:28:00.000+08:00

3 days into my new life as a Mcdonalds employee...

Well, it's four actually, but i got saturday off, for reasons i also dunnoe why...hehe...

Niwaez, as of now, i can safely say i like my job...on the other hand, i can also safely say that i hate my job...so in conclusion, i dun feel anything la rite now. It's a sad mix of satisfactory and agony...

On one hand i'm starting to love this job...the people and the atmosphere is just so welcoming...

On the other hand, i'm starting to ask questions to myself... "Can you really keep this up for the next 7 to 8 months?"...Can you?...

We'll just wait and see...

Three days into my new "career", and i must say i know my way well around the 'kitchen'...hehe...

I can now safely say that my skills in preparing Filet-O-Fish, McChicken and McSpicy are quite fair... Not to mention my frying abilities and the Art of French Fries preparation... I learn ALOT of things on my own, that i just realised... For example today, i was taught McChicken and McSpicy, but i ended up learning Apple Pie, McWings, McNuggets, frying this and that...ALL by myself... plus one for me...hehe

today has its fair bit of mishaps though...there was this time that my filet-o-fish turned out as hard as biscuits, coz i left it out of the steamer for too long... And guess who was there to receive my filets...None other than my boss la...I could feel his frustration, but on one hand, he could'nt scold me coz i was still a newbie...So there i was, brushed aside for a little, looking at my boss taking over my station... Imagine the feeling man... But my boss's a nice guy... He then gave me some pointers, and understood my dilemma... Its was my 2nd day in that station, and i just learnt two new burgers earlier on. He understood that i couldnt possibly handle everything and know everything perfectly in just two days... Even floor managers need to pace themselves...hehe...

So...one station down...another 4-5 more to go...I think i'll do just fine...Plus, i think i'm adapting to my new work surroundings ... Havent met all my fellow crew members, plus this one other manager too...this one manager that all the crew says is very fussy...hehe, cant wait to meet her...hehe...

I guess that wraps my extremely long entry... I'm off to bed now for a good night's sleep, my legs are killing me...

Till my next entry...bye y'all...

2007-03-02T18:03:00.000+08:00

It is official...Azmi is not jobless anymore...

And i think, if all goes well, he is not going to be jobless for a very very long time...

My first day on the job jus now...assumed my position as trainee floor manager with Mcdonalds...FINALLY!...haha...

Wasnt all that i expected it to be...I mean, i used to work at Long John Silvers a couple years back and it is totally different... TOTALLY!!!...but the story is best told for another day...hehe...

Niwaez, i have to wear the "not-so-nice" crew uniform for the time being...a month or two, depending on how fast i learn. And yup, that mean wearing that ridiculous cap...RIDICULOUS...(u reading this izzat, the cap is RIDICULOUS...haha!!!)...That said, i dun have anything else to hate other than the uniform...not yet that is... It was only my first day, and there are so many more things that i can hate, oops, i mean love...hahaha...

I think i'll survive...I'm going to make this work...C'mon azmi, u can do it... All u have to endure is the long 1hour journey to Dhoby Ghaut and the ridiculous uniform for 2 months...and puff! Nice manager uniform man!...hehehe...

I think this job is here to stay, even when school reopens.

A very big thank you to Izzat, who ultimately is responsible for getting me this job. I owe you dinner man... Soon, soon...hehehe

I was looking for this photo of izzat and me, taken when we were primary 4 i think...in school uniform, complete with the prefect sash...Cannot find la...Will look for it again later, and put it here...hehehe...

Aite all you lovely folks...i'm off for now...

Congrats to Ajay and Daniel for doing well for their 'A' levels...

Byez...

2007-02-28T20:37:00.000+08:00

Hey all you lovely people...

Azmi is still here, alive and kicking...

Juz very lazy to blog la these few days...

Every night will go online, check blog, then do abit of blog-hopping...if got mood then go youtube and watch episodes of whose line is it anyway...and will go offline and play Grand Theft Auto over and over again...

So yah, that was my routine upon switching on my computer for the past few days...

Oh yah, Macdonalds have finally given a reply...Parklane Mall branch, so this friday will go for 4hr orientation, and then i shud start proper by week's end...

Met the manager, nice chap... I think i shud have no problem working with him...

One more thing, he said i'll be wearing the crew's uniform for my probation period. Does that mean wearing the ridiculous cap also?...So much for not needing to wear it... Shucks... I guess i'll have to wait a while before i'll get a chance to parade in the nice manager uniform...sigh... (well, at least the pay is still the FM's pay...or so i think, muz ask when i see him come friday)

Letter from Iwo Jima was aite...It's not a movie i would go watch at my own accord. That said, i'm glad you asked me along. The movie was well worth it. Definitely one i would go and recommend watching to my friends...

ok my frens, until my next entry, i bid you a fond farewell...

Have fun all of you...

Have fun working...

Have fun homing...

I see you all soon...

2007-02-24T15:34:00.000+08:00

What else could go wrong?...

Oh man, this is so not my day la...

Yesterday was aite, went JB with daniel to go stock-up on entertainment...

But freak la...my Night at the Museum DVD doesnt work on my xbox... plays well on my laptop though...

My 'Hitman' game doesnt work either...kena con man...

And to top things off, i think my xbox's spoilt...Damn!... Takes a freaking time to load games, and always halfway playing will shut the game and say "Problem with disc"... What la, its not like every disc i have spoil rite...KNN...CCB...bull crap...

(and dan, so much for 5 star quality la...my one kena ripped off half way...all of sudden one hour into show the screen went blank...)

Oh well...not my luck la...

I'm thinking of going back jb soon to replace my Hitman game...got 2 weeks warranty. (Ironic rite, pirated PC game also got warranty...haha)

Oh yah, went Holiday plaza for the first time in over 10 years... Heard much about it from ppl who's been there recently, but i had to experience it for myself.

Picture this...outside looks like ur ordinary Video Shop...then u walk over, juz signal to him u want to go in, and he opens a 'secret' door...haha...an entire room of DVDs, VCDs, CDs of all sorts awaits you... Any title u want, they sure have... hahaha...

I told daniel, 'lets try opening one of these in Singapore...see what happen'...hahaha... Daniel: You try la. Wont survive long one...hahahaha

Ajay called thursday nite...FROM TEKONG!...haha, NS life sounds so slack sia... Apart from the usual PTs, and corporal punishments, and all the F*cks, KNNs, and CCBs hurled at you by the officers, its quite alrite according to Ajay... Looking forward to NS alreadi...hahaha

Ok la...thats it for me...

AND I DESPERATELY NEED A FREAKING JOB!...ROTTING AT HOME NOW!!!...
Macdonalds i think got phobia la, dun want to call me... Their loss lor...haha... going to job-hunt first thing monday morning...

peace...

2007-02-21T09:09:00.000+08:00

Nothing to blog about today...not yet that is, it's only 9am...haha...

Here's a simple joke to brighten up your day all you lovely folks...

A couple is in court, going thru a divorce. After that is settled, comes the issue of who shud have custody of the children. Each pled their case to the judge, saying they have more rights of looking after the children over the other.

The wife argued that she was the one who carried the children for nine months and gave birth to them.

The husband, on the other hand, just smiled and said,

"Your Honour, if u insert a dollar into a vending machine, and a drink comes out, does that drink belong to you or the machine?"

Happy Holidays...

2007-02-19T11:48:00.000+08:00

Three days since i last posted an entry...

Three days filled with events...

Lets start with thursday shall we... Went for morning jog as usual, this time asked azhar along...Always nice to jog with a fren la, not so lonely. (but what la, one round pancit alreadi huh?!...hahaha...) Then friday when ask him out again, say his leg abit cramp la...haha... Aiseh bradder, one day jog leg pain already izzit?!...hahaha...

Friday was as per normal too... Went to mosque... Had this loooonnng debate about whether we should go play badminton or play xbox at my place as our afternoon activity with azhar... khairul was the moderator. And to quote khairul, "Ape da... want to play xbox or badminton also take so long to decide!"... In the end, all decided that we were too tired and headed home... Hahaha...

Celebrated my parent's wedding anniversary yesterday too...their 20th to be exact. Had a nice cake, and went out for dinner... Dad wanted to 'act' romantic by taking mum on a movie date... They went to watch Ghostrider, while i had to babysit my two sisters at home... (haha...nak act romantic konon...romantic tak jadi la ayah...hahaha!)

Proceeded to cherriann's house for 'so-called' movie marathon... Had andre's pre-birthday party...19 year old chap...haha...

Our 'movie marathon' turned into 5 long hours of endless gossipping, intellectual discussions and trivial debates...haha... we talked everything and anything under the sun, which includes family dramas and feuds, china trip, funerals, ghost stories... we even talked about subjects in secondary school and we were babbling on about titration la, chemistry moles la... Of coz, i had a very tiring day before so my brain was like shut down by the 3rd or 4th hour...I was physically awake and listening, but my mind was too fatigue to say anything...hahaha...

Did watch one movie though...Dogma... my first time watching... Never had i watched a movie with so many "f*cks" in it...hahaha... Enjoyed the movie though, although i was dozing in and out of the movie...hahaha...

Sent andy off this morning...if my calculations are correct, andy shud still be on a plane right now, somewhere over the pacific ocean...maybe just passed hawaii or something... Lucky fella...hahaha...

Oh yah, the moment i reached home, at around 9.30 i think... had shower and all, and collasped straight to bed. And freaking i slept for 9 hours straight... By the time i woke up it was like 7pm, all dark already... Must be damn shagged la...hahaha...

Oh well, one week gone, another one follows... And when the hell is Macdonalds going to f*cking call me?... One week already leh... Manager said one or two weeks, so better call within this week, or i'll have to go buy Straits Time and look under classifieds... hahaha... ( Aper la izzat, i thought macdonalds pride in efficiency?... Want to call back also take so long huh?...hahahaha)

Take care y'all...

HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR!!!

SELAMAT TAHUN BARU CINA!!!

GONG XI FA CAI!!!

and happy holidays...

2007-02-14T21:44:00.000+08:00

It's Valentine Day today...

What does this day mean to me?...

Well, it's juz like any other day, a day for you to tell those around you that you love them...

I dun believe it is juz for couple u noe, although that's the norm la...

Why not take this day to go tell someone that u care and love them...

Your parents...

Your siblings...

Your friends...

and of course, not forgetting...that special someone too...

People go out and enjoy themselves on this day...

What do i do?...

Well, i sit at home and chill...

Caught up on some reading...

And basically, as the saying goes, "i juz lepak one corner"...

Juz got back from badminton playing with azhar and faisal...

Three singles playing badminton on a valentine's day evening...

Three brothers hanging out...

Pretending to relive the Asean Cup days...

I'm Thailand, full of drama...

Faisal's Indonesia, (or was it Malaysia?), good but cannot beat Thailand...hehehe

And Azhar..well he's self-proclaimed Laos...coz really cannot make it...hahahaha...

Macdonalds still havent call...getting worried...Well, the manager did say the process will take a while, at least a week or two. So juz wait lor...

By the way...enough with saying my blog looks gay can...I noe it does...but i like...So how?... That doesnt mean i'm gay what...Haha...Women are God's gift to Men, so why waste it?...hehehe...Pink and purple are nice colours, and they so happen to be some of my favourite colours too...

my pencil case is full of pink stationery... I dunnoe why, but i seem to like them... A pink pencil, a pink pen, pink markers, pink highlighters, pink erasers...even my pencil case is purple... But that doesnt mean i'm gay what...HAHAHAHA!!!...

But still, u will never catch me wearing a pink shirt, or pink pants, or worst...pink shoes... I'm a closet pink lover...so i dun flaunt it...hehehe

Well guys...Happy Valentine's Day from me...

Keep smiling and stay happy...

Got it from azhar, trust its worth ur time to go check it out...

FARNIE!!!...hehehe...

quiet day today...

got some new xbox games, spent the whole afternoon playing it...

Star Wars Battleground and The Hitman...

still waiting for Macdonalds to call back...

i dun expect them to take that fast, so i'll juz wait...

izzat called though, saying i may be posted to parklane (where the hell is that?...)

Oh well...i do hope i get somewhere near... the nearer the better, and the higher chance of me staying longer... (its true leh... longer distance=more tired when i arrive=more grumpy at work=less productive=i hate the job=i quit earlier...hehe)

I dun understand leh...some ppl's blog are so dead, yet they get taggers everyday... mine's alive, and i barely get any... But then again, i shudnt lose focus. I blog becoz i want to and love it, not to prove anything to anyone. So note to self, see u tmr for tmr's entry yah...

Goodnight...

A Fresh New Look!

2007-02-11T01:10:00.001+08:00

Changes are good sometimes...

It keep things fresh...

So it is...a brand new look for abangazmi.blogspot.com...

Gone are all the signs of aragorn, or any lord of the rings character for that matter...

Dun get me wrong, Azmi still adores LOTR... he is juz moving away from that whole image now.

Picked this new blogskin of...well, blogskin.com of coz.

And i noe what u're thinking, but i'm not gay!, despite the feminine or gayish look of this blog. I dun see anything wrong with the colours pink, or purple being associated with a man. In fact, they're some of my favourite colours! Plus i like the look of the blog. Thanks to clara, the person who created this blogskin it seems...

Apart from the new look, nothing much will change in this blog. More rantings about my daily life and all, and the occassional emo two liners here and there...

Well, here's today's entry proper...

Had my job interview juz now. Applied for a position as Macdonalds Floor Manager. I think i did well. All i can do now is wait. I have to wait for a call for another manager for my 2nd interview and orientation. My chances are quite fair i think. I'm really excited to start, i dunnoe why! Niwaez, we'll see how it goes. Thanks Izzat for hooking me up on this one.

So it seems, i'll just have to spend the first week of holidays rotting at home. Catch up on some reading perhaps, play some xbox, chill out with the gang maybe. Someone's birthday's coming, so that's something to look forward to. 19 bashes i last counted, hehehe...

Do let me know about what u think of this new look yah. I dunnoe about you, but i'm loving it alreadi.

Till tmr then, good night y'all...

2007-02-09T21:47:00.000+08:00

Aren't you glad that its all over?...

All of you...

Exams over for me...

the same goes for all my polymates, be it MS buddies or the pals at Singapore Poly...

O level results are out...

Job well done to all that made it... in fact, i think everybody i knew did well...

Now, my attention shifts to the holidays...

Work, as it seems, is inevitable...

Going for my job interview tomorrow, wish me luck!!!...

Alot of people going overseas these two months...

USA...China...just to name a few...

Lucky bastards!!!...hahaha...

For the rest of us left back home, i know most of you will be working, so all the best on that as well...

By the way, the boys said they saw Fazrul Nawaz (the Singapore soccer player la, in case u dunnoe) at the mosque juz now. I didnt get to see him coz i went ahead to the prayer hall first...

This wouldnt be the first "well-known personality" that i've met at the mosque. My long list of "Hey i know you!" at the mosque includes funny man Suhaimi Yusof, rocker Ramli Sarip and even Najip Ali!!!...

I would always joke to my frens, "Pegi semayang jugak ye dier tu?!!"... basically meaning ,"Never knew that guy also goes and prays?!!"... who says celebrities dont pray?...hahaha...

Long 2 months ahead... shall keep all of you updated on my 'quiet' life...

take care all...

have a safe trip to all going overseas...

have a pleasant time working for all those entering the 'workforce'...

happy slacking for all those who decides to just watch tv and eat all day...hahaha...

i shall look forward to meeting all you soon...

and a happy birthday in advance to all february, march and april babies...

(i dont know why, but i juz feel so sad inside...close to tears perhaps...two months is a very long time to be apart you know...)

see u all around...

or online...hehe...

2007-02-08T17:49:00.000+08:00

got this quiz of izzat's blog... good de-stressing activity...

Your Brain is 80% Female, 20% Male

Your brain leans female
You think with your heart, not your head
Sweet and considerate, you are a giver
But you're tough enough not to let anyone take advantage of you!

What Gender Is Your Brain?

i think like a girl!??... haha... true in some ways... try it...

2007-02-05T21:23:00.000+08:00

MY 100th ENTRY!!!...

considering that i started this blog May 2006, it took me 8 months to reach here...

Long 8 months...

Very memorable indeed...

IMC done, three more papers to go...

good luck... especially to me... hehehe...

cheers...

2007-02-04T23:44:00.000+08:00

Update on Asean Cup finals...

We WON!!!...

very tight and fierce match was played tonight...especially so for the thais...

Singapore wasnt as strong and upbeat as they were on the first leg... I must say i was rather disappointed with some terrible sloppy play by the Lions...

The thais should have won, but i guess luck wasnt on their side... Based on how they dominated the match, they shud have been champions... Singapore was too casual in their play, too laidback... But then again, Lady Luck was with the lions tonight, and hats off to Khairul Amri on that marvellous goal... excellent solo play...

Congratulations to the LIONS!!!... It was a close one, but they won it fair and square...

They got lucky tonight, so they really need to buck up if they are to retain their title next time...

Well, i'm off to an early night's rest... Going to wake up early tmr and do some last minute revision...

GOOD LUCK TO ALL MEDIA STUDIES PALS...

and good night...

2007-02-04T21:08:00.000+08:00

It's the half time break now, the finals match between Singaporea and Thailand...

I've got nothing to say...but these...

MY GOODNESS LIONS!!! WHAT THE F*CK DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING!??...

certainly, some sloppy work by the singapore defence...

so my words of advice to the lions...

WAKE UP UR BLOODY IDEA!!!...

now, back to the match...will update when the match is over...

2007-02-03T23:24:00.000+08:00

study week...

meant for studying, as the name implies...

what have i been doing the past few days?...

studying of course, or rather, trying to...

have been studying at the dining table, coz i think that table is seriously under utilised... my family dont even eat dinner there... we all eat at this smaller table in the kitchen... the dining table in the hall is juz for show, or for guests...hehehe... plus, the dining table is big enuff for all my notes and junk...and the laptop...hehehe...

tend to sidetrack alot...ALOT!...

first was the internet...

then there was the xbox playing...

followed by hours of watching Kids Central with beloved sister... (they've got alot of great programmes u noe, even for a nineteen year old...)

So, amidst all the distractions at home, azmi has resorted to studying at night, after 10 to be exact...

Even then, there was endless sidetracking...

Like the internet...

There was the xbox...

But my favourite sidetracking activity... Watching Mary Poppins over and over again...

It's such a heavenly sin... hehehe...

1 more day to go...

I juz want it done and over with...

god bless...

2007-01-31T22:44:00.000+08:00

well...i've never been so happy to be proven wrong...

and its true, azmi has been forced to eat his own words...

Singapore wins the first leg ladies and gentlemen... and boy was it a controversial match...

I might not be at the stadium, but i was left restless on my couch for the whole game... Well played in my opinion, although there were many a time when me and my dad would slap our heads and utter words of... "disbelief"...

Final score: Singapore 2 Thailand 1

I thought the lions played better in the first half, thats when alam shah scored the lead in the 17th minute... But the Thais really showed their worth in the second half. The goal they conceded in the 49th minute was just brilliant...

And i quote Bernard Lim the commentator, "Even if the goalkeeper wasnt Lionel Lewis, nobody could have stopped that goal..."

I must say, this is the first time i saw such controversy on a match played on home soil... Quite entertaining though, seeing the Thais protests one corner coz they disagreed with the msian ref's decision for a penalty against them in the 83rd minute. My mum was there saying, "Thailand merajuk ke aper?"... Hilarious mum...true humour...hehehe...

Well, i dun care whether the thais are not happy or not... The fact of the matter is, We Won!... So like i said, i was forced to eat back my words... Lucky i didnt bet with anybody, if not, sure lose...hehehe...

All the best to the Lions, who will be facing a tough Thai crowd this Sunday... If the Singapore fans are so vulgar, i wonder how the Thai fans would be...

Well... good luck lions...

Happy studying my frens... all of you...

Good luck to o levels bros whose results are coming out soon...

Good luck to izzat...on ur exams too...

Good luck to everybody la...

5 days to first paper...

azmi out...

2007-01-28T14:52:00.000+08:00

There's still hope...

But against Thailand, our chances are quite slim i must say...

Well, we'll leave that thought till later...

Now, let's rejoice the Lions win over Malaysia...

Quite tyco leh, we won by one goal in penalty...

Stadium was jam-packed yesterday...

The rain earlier on didnt dampen my spirits...although i did suffer from a little neckache having to slouch just to fit into the tiny weeny umbrella...hehehe...

Singapore vs Malaysia matches are always good to watch, and as the papers put it, we are enemies by tradition... It goes a long way back, from the time of the Malaysian Cup... the good old days were relived yesterday... And i had fun... I was left sitting at the edge of my seat thru out the game, that was how fiercely fought the match was... The last time i watched a Spore Msia match was 5 years ago, at the same location. But then, we kena beating terok sia, 4-0...

Yesterday was different...

It was supercalifragilisticexpialidocious fun yesterday... especially when u have the likes of andre, diana, velda, joy, andy, huiqi and darryn as ur company... All the f*cks, CCBs, KNNs and the B*tohs we shouted together...hahaha... but its quite bad la actually. Was reading the morning papers today, the article reads (translated that is...) "Malaysian fans was all up in cheers, while the Singaporeans only know how to utter out words of vulgar"... hehehe...

"clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap BUTOH!!!"...my favourite stadium cheer, always was, always will...hehehe

Well, i guess its studying time again... All the best to all... I know we can do it... Last exams everybody...

I'll leave you to ur revisions then...

Byez...

2007-01-26T10:56:00.000+08:00

So it begins...

The cycle rotates itself again...

And we have the reach that part of the journey...

It's study week again...

The inevitable exams follow soon after...

And after that...well, let's juz say azmi isnt so looking forward to it...

Holidays are times where ppl have fun, they go on 'HOLIDAYS!!!', as the name implies...

They shake leg, lepak one corner...and juz have fun...

What do i do?... I work... and dun get to see everybody for a month or two...

I'm a weird person...people loves the holidays, i dread it...

Oh well...look on the bright side, its only for 2 months...

Last Day of School Yesterday...Fun, IP presentation settled, and azmi is satisfied.

Open House according to my o'level results waiting friends was boring...BORING!!!...

But something happened yesterday to my friend Azhar, that really angered me...

But i am not going to type it here, scared will cause a national outcry...

Niwaez, thank you all for everything that happened in this 'short' semester...

Thank You Team Cheiron...you will always be my first 'love'...

Thank You Team Dejavu...the fun and laughter we've shared will forever be cherished...

not forgetting Team ALK...brothers four unite...

team MMR, Ops and PR (that edmund...hello ed)...was all fun too...

I dun care what anybody says...but for me, there's always room for everybody in my heart...not just one group, not just two groups...but all...

It was fun while it lasted...and now, i'm frowning, wishing i could turn back time...

I guess life moves on...

(chim chiminee chim chiminee chim chim che ree... mary poppins made me very happy
chim chiminee chim chiminee chim chim che roo... i juz want to tell you that i love you too)

Thanks andre...for my mary poppins dvd...it was a long wait...but i couldnt help smiling to myself while i was watching it last night...

2007-01-24T21:53:00.000+08:00

They say pictures paint a thousand words...

Indeed...

I had fun with all you...and i will certainly be looking forward to more fun time spent together...

Our journey as a school group may have ended, but our journey as friends will never end...till the end of time itself...

Thank You...for everything...

(my tagboard has been quite quiet this past week... this is a small favour, but if u're reading this, would you be so kind as to give a little shoutout at my tagboard?...Consider as my last request, before the semester closes...It will certainly bring a smile to my face, and in return, i will give my own little shoutout at ur tagboard.Thanks)

2007-01-19T22:24:00.000+08:00

Emotions bursting into flames...

the anger...

the frustration...

the stress...

yet beneath all of it...

lies a sea of calmness...

the happiness...

the joy...

the laughter...

everytime i'm with you...

all of you i mean...

not just her...

Everybody really damn emo these few days...i wonder why. Is it the weather?...Maybe all have some gf-bf problem?...Or is it the projects?... tsk tsk, so young yet so problematic...

i'm damn touched with velda's special entry dedicated to cheiron... we all go a long way back, and azmi noes we have a long long journey ahead...

its been a week since i last updated...lets recap what happened shall we...

dejavu editing last friday...damn fun la...i really like how our interstitial turned out... lets make our programme an even better one... good job 3 gals and 1 guy...hehehe

overnight at cherri's...again...not that i'm complaining la, but body cant deny that it was tired... worked my ass off thru out the weekend...with IMC and all...

Entrep and MMR also done...

only left PR, IP and Entrep now...

looks like the semester is finally drawing to a close...abit too fast i think...

i dunnoe about you, but i hate the holidays...

i hear ur voice...yet so far...
i feel your touch...yet i'm lost...

che wah...damn emo sia...
hehehe...
azmi out...

2007-01-14T01:00:00.000+08:00

azmi doesnt have very much to say...

coz his mind isnt working too well rite now...

juz woke up from a 6 hour 'nap'...

not enough by any means...

considering he's been awake since 6am friday morning...

and only managed to catch minutes of dozes since...

but he's not complaining (...but his body is...it's screaming in agony now...)

QT was fun...always was...always will...

Left at sunrise, headed home, and left back for school...with less than one hour of 'sleep' and hitting his head countless time upon the window of the bus...

***on his way home onboard bus 858, he dozed off a while and woke up soon after with drool sliding down his left chin... he looks around, wipes his chin, and prays nobody saw that...paiseh paiseh...***

now busy at work...again...

life as a struggling student hoping to make it big in life never ends...

exams coming soon...

then the holidays...

work will come soon after...

and the cycle starts all over again...

azmi sighs...

it has been this way for him for the past 2 years...

a vicious cycle...

an endless pattern...

but what to do?...

***...no work no money hor...***

azmi is signing off now...

nitez...

2007-01-09T10:10:00.000+08:00

well...azmi has decided...not to write that long list of mine...

It's just that azmi has too many people to write to...but some people has re-emphasized to me, that the list shud only go to 10 people... I was about to write 30 over...

But azmi isnt all that foolish...He did save that entry, in a nice word document...for those who wish to read...azmi is always available...

And yes...the girl is inside that list...

There are some very personal messages in there...so dun be surprised if the messages are actually meant for you...hehehe...

Niwaez, shall take a break from blogging in the week to come...Just to many projects and presentations due... Just too many...

This weekend has been burnt for me... No breaks...from thursday evening all the way until next tuesday... NON STOP WORK... I've more or less calculated my sleeping hours... And its... less than 12 hours for a total of 5 nights... thans like less than 2.5hrs for each night... Aiyah, no need to sleep la... You think NS can sleep is it?...(actually they can leh...)

Ok la...enuff nonsense...azmi shall rest now, for there shall be none in the days to come...

goodbye...

2007-01-07T10:50:00.000+08:00

timecheck 1055am...Sunday January the 7th 2007

azmi is back at home, eyes half open...for he lacks his night's sleep...

he sits infront of his computer... and flashes back 3 hours...

time was 8am...

azmi was stoning, infront of his laptop...

velda was to his left, busy at work...

andre was lying unconscious in the living room...

cherriann was drifting away in dreamland...

that was the scene after one full night of endless QT...and work that is...

azmi glances to his right, and sees velda furiously typing away... he wonders, "Where does this girl get her energy from?"

azmi continues stoning, and thought of what to do... he got it...he was going to blog...

Half an hour into his very long entry, he clumsily pressed some keys and the whole blog was deleted... Frustration crept in... He gives up, and shut downs his laptop..."Screw this!!!", he said...

He was writing his "I've Got Something To Say To You But Do Not Have The Courage To Say It In Person" list... but the list got too personal, and the accidental deletion was the perfect excuse not to retype it. But azmi may decide to write it later... maybe not now... but soon...

But there was a certain tinge of similarities between of the things he wanted to say to different people... And that is, thank you for all the memories... Thank you for everything...

azmi is heading to his bedroom now, going to catch up on some Zzz...

had fun with cheiron...always have...always will...

goodnight...oops, he means, Good Day...

2007-01-06T14:23:00.000+08:00

Eventful week...

indeed...

First week of school, of the new term... has passed...

Very memorable and unforgettable indeed...

Full of memories... Both sad... fun... and happiness...

completed filming with dejavu...

***One stage of your Journey is over, Another begins...***

..Gandalf the White.. The Two Towers...

I've been mixed with emotions this week, watching the events that unfold around me...

Secrets were spilled...

Rumours were justified...

Emotions were stirred...

Secrets...including that of my own...and for those who know the truth...let it be caged in your heart, as it is in mine...

Nows not the time... not now...not ever... we are not fated...

I'm like a small bubble, amidst this sea of storms... Bursting at anytime...

emotional... indeed...

2007-01-02T19:56:00.000+08:00

... And the sun sets with the calls to prayer...

...And surrenders to the night...

...here to, are signs, God is the Light...

***Yusuf Islam (aka Cat Stevens) with Raihan***

Today's Hari Raya Haji...otherwise known as Hari Raya Korban... or also known as Eid Ul Adha...

Mum performed the korban this year... Dad performed his a couple years back, and he says, if God Willing, it'll be my turn next year...

Looks at all the sheeps and goats here...obediently waiting their turn... Took some videos too, of the mosque volunteers chasing and wrestling with sheeps just to get a hold of them... hehehe

Bad picture taken here... mainly becoz of the fence grills and all. If u squint hard and see properly, you can see the blade resting on the neck of the goat. This was the final second for him, before he was sacrificed. I had some better pics and videos taken with my hp cam... will show u guys soon. You can really see the blade cutting through the skin, and the blood gushing out like a fountain from its throat... Not for the faint hearted though...

Well...here's my mosque... Annur Mosque... or translated it means, the Mosque of Light (i think... ) This is the vertical tower... u cant see the main building in here...

I've been apart of this mosque since i was a child...an infant... a baby! I attended kindergarten here... and for the years after that, i would attend weekly religious classes.

This is also where i perform my friday prayers weekly... Kinda like a weekly reunion, where i get to meet my sec and pri sch frens here... Then usually, we wud go lepak at the ice kacang stall nearby, or head down to causeway point.

Hello 2007... Goodbye 2006...

Here we are, at yet another new year's eve. If you're wondering, i'm at home now and not at some countdown party. Dad cancelled his plans to take us to Esplanade, coz he's gotta work tmr morning... Oh well, there's always next year...

Again, MSN is rather empty... they must be having fun somewhere... Boo hoo, never invite me...

Well...new year...new me... I've planned to do alot of things this year... Well, at least i hope i'll do it... Here's some of it...

1. Lose Weight... (Lost 1.5kg after dieting and some sports a few weeks back. But then regained it after my trip to malacca. Come on azmi...must focus. Another round of badminton anyone?...)

2. Earn more money... (Semester break coming soon. Looks like its back to the working world. But this time, azmi's a little picky. I need a job that pays good money... Above 5 or 6 dollars an hour would be nice. The more the better...hehehe... Anybody got lobang?...)

3. Settle down happily with a gf?... (You cant be happy with singlehood forever cant you?... It's been too long...a year and a half to be exact... Azmi longs for his happily ever after too...)

4. For World Peace? ( Enough with all the wars and all already! Cant Israel and Palestine just shake hands and be friends? Cant North Korea just accept the world with open arms? And what's up with the US in wanting to bomb every other country?...)

5. Most important of ALL...

Azmi hopes...

For you to be happy...all of you...

Mum...

Dad...

Sis's...

Frens...

All of you...

If you're happy...i'm happy...

So with that ends 2006...

I'll just have to wait for what 2007 has to bring...

2006-12-29T15:39:00.000+08:00

azmi is blogging again...

as he always does...

tried to update blog yesterday, but connection was damn slow... Made him so frustrated for nothing...muz be the earthquake at taiwan or something...

Niwaez...

azmi is quite close to being back to normal...

fun...

laughter...

thank you for bringing a smile back on azmi's face...

away from the thoughts of pain and despair...

***...but a girl that special, it is never easy to just let go...***

and for those of you who are still wondering who the girl is...let me ease your suffering...

The girl...

Is...

YOU!!!...

so you can stop guessing now...

it's not her ok...neither is it her...definitely not her...hell no is it her...

so you can stop guessing...

you will know when the time is right...

***...she's special...that's why i cant risk it all...its better this way...***

Thanks for letting me be apart of yesterday's events (or rather, the events of wednesday nite...) Sorry for the last minute entry... Quite hard to convince a rather sceptical mum...

azmi is happy...

thanks for being his friend...and for letting him be urs...

...if tomorrow never comes...

...would she know how much i love her...

...did i try in every way...

...to show her everyday...

...that she's my only one...

**ronan keating**

2006-12-26T17:10:00.000+08:00

azmi is panicking...

so many things to do...

so little time...

azmi wants to call back his team members...

But hey... It's Christmas!!!...

Better wait another day or two...

You don't like people calling you back during Hari Raya...do you?...

That RightAngle PM still hasnt confirmed with the group an interview date... azmi is getting freaking worried. All the other groups has finished theirs... U think u rightangle so big is it?... So many big productions huh?... &^%$#@...

Why cant life be easy?... Why must He throw hurdle after hurdle and call it 'life's challenges'?...

patience dear boy...

patience...

***...i still havent decided you know... To go or not to go... To tell or not to tell...***

2006-12-25T22:09:00.000+08:00

panic...

anguish...

desperate...

confused...

broken...

alone...

2006-12-24T22:42:00.000+08:00

Azmi has decided...

To just let it go...

To let his feelings be caged...

For he knows it's for his own good...

He wouldnt even try...

For it is not worth trying...

Azmi is afraid of rejection...

Really afraid...

He treasures his friendship with her too much...

Too much to risk it all...

Just let it go...

2006-12-24T13:17:00.000+08:00

I have learnt to let go...

For my sake...

and for hers...

I've deleted my previous entry for personal reasons...

I doubt that anybody read that one in the first place...

Never should have wrote that...

Never should...

I'm moving on...

It's a good day today...

Brand new me!...

Or so i hope...

I'll wait for what tomorrow brings...

Merry Christmas to all...

And A Happy New Year...

And not forgetting a Blessed Aidiladha...

i bid you a fond farewell...

2006-12-21T10:47:00.000+08:00

I'm back...Home...

I've never really appreciated how convenient and efficient Singapore is...

how soft my mattress is...

the ease of moving around in a public transport...

And i've never been so happy to see a Bus Stop...

These were the things that i immediately cherished upon arriving back in Singapore..

After 4 days "holiday-ing" in Malacca...

But hey, dun get me wrong. Malacca is a very nice place, super nice. Especially the food...hehehe...

It's just that when u dun have a car, and u rely solely on public transport to move around, tempers can flare.

But other than that, Malacca is a cool place to go "lepak"...hehehe...

Rain can really dampen one's mood...and it did just that...

It has been raining non-stop since the moment i arrived in Malacca... And because of that, i spent most of my time either in the hotel or in the shopping mall...

But i had some fun doing it...

Played bowling like there's no tomorrow... played like 5 games in 2 days... there's like a freaking over 100 throws... Arms became sore after that... hehehe...

Went to A'famosa Water World... Err, ok lah. Nothing to shout about... But i still prefer our Jurong East Swimming Complex... hehehe...

Didnt had the chance to go visit the historical places coz of the rain... Really wanted to go up the St Paul's Hill and take some pictures in front of the Portugese port... But no luck i suppose...

Well, i'll let the pictures do the talking now...

My Hotel... (changed our hotel to this one at the last minute, coz this place is juz 5 mins from the Mahkota Parade, and a little less than 10 mins from all the historical attractions. Saved alot on transport...)

Ate like nobody's business over the past few days... Gone are all my dieting and losing weight hopes... But i swore to myself, to resume jogging tonite!... Must lose back all the kilos i've gained in Malacca...

Vandalism?

More like Malaccan Graffiti... Nice huh...

So ends my holiday at Malacca... Juz wished it hadnt rained so much... Could have been "fun-ner"...hehehe...

But then again...Jason...Ur home town is very nice indeed...hehehe...

***...azmi was speculating of heading up north to Camerons and giving them the shock of their lives. I could use another 2-3 days of holiday... hehehe...***

Back to reality of school life it seems...till then...azmi out...

2006-12-16T22:29:00.000+08:00

Goodbye my friends...

Azmi bids you a fond farewell...

For he is returning to the Motherland... for 4 days only...hehehe...

Tomorrow, this time, I'll be lying on the soft mattress of my hotel bed, alongside my beloved family in historical Malacca...

I noe i'll have fun... My first real holiday after 6 years...

Well... cant wait for the sun to rise...

Singapore will be short of a few citizens over the coming week, for i am not the only one to venture overseas...

Have a SAFE AND PLEASANT trip... ALL OF YOU!!!... Have FUN!, and come back safely... Enjoy urselves yah, you all deserve it... The many places you all are off to... Camerons... KL... Hong Kong... China... Australia... Korea... and many more... Dun forget to return back to Singapore, coz the new year is coming...

Bon Voyage!!!...

On that note...

Happy Holidays...

and

Goodbye...

2006-12-15T18:36:00.000+08:00

I love technology...

All of a sudden... hehehe...

Actually depends la...sometimes technology can be your worst enemy, and sometimes technology can be ur best fren...

I've install Microsoft Office 2007 on my PC, and now i'm installing it on my laptop. It's so cool...Take a look!!!...

It looks pretty ordinary and similar to Mic Office 2003 like the ones u're using, maybe in terms of color scheme and all... But it's so different in reality. The function... The layout... Its sooo cool!!!...

Imagine highlighting ur text, and a toolbar fades in beside ur text, that gives you the option to change the font, colour, size...straight away...

Oh well, i think it wont be long before every person in the world uses the 2007 edition. Plus, Windows Vista coming out next year... You can bet that i'll be the few to eagerly wait for its arrival... Hehehe...

***...suddenly, azmi isnt a laggard animore...***

Niwaez, trip to Suntec and Esplanade went as planned juz now. Cheiron meeting has been pushed to tmr, and Azhar is a happy boy. He finally got a taste of what Suntec City and the all famous Esplanade are like... Good for u boy...Haha...

***...Who would have guessed, that in busy central CBD...lies a MOSQUE!!!?... An underground one at that. No wonder i've never seen or heard of it. Went there juz now. Full of busy professionals. Me and Azhar felt a little "underdressed" compared to their shirts and ties... Haha... Next time go there muz wear business suit...haha!!!...***

Ok my friends... azmi has to go pack for his Malacca trip now (hey, arent u going on Sunday? gan cheong la you!!!)

good bye...

azmi out...

2006-12-14T22:33:00.000+08:00

We can only plan out the things in life...

But it is Him who decides it...

***...sorry to Bro Azhar for cancelling our City Jalan2 Plans tmr at a very last minute. Sometimes in life, we need to make decisions and set our priorities straight. You know i'll always be loyal to my brothers, but when it comes to work (school work that is...), i'm afraid my educational well being comes first... But i am sorry ok bro. Promise to make up for it on a another occasion...***

Well, for the first time in over 3 semesters, i have finally got a taste of the school badminton court. Seriously my fellow MS mates, please make full use of the $8 we all have to pay for sports fees every semester and go use the sports facilities at every advantage.

***...well azmi...swimming pool next!...***

I'm quite shagged now, coz i've only got 3 hours of sleep last night. Then followed by 3 long hours of continuous badminton playing. So i guess i'm pretty much lifeless now. So heading the sack early today.

***...juz install Mic Office 2007 on PC today. Wah, damn shiook sia. So futuristic. Totally different from the Office 03 i'm using for my laptop. But i think i need to get used to the different layout and controls... (ps, its a pirated version bought from JB la. But hey, it works, and that's what matters...hehe...)***

ok fellow readers...azmi is going to sleep now...good nite...

2006-12-13T20:51:00.000+08:00

This is the season to be JOLLY!!!...

Why?...

Holidays la...then what?...

Quite fast eh, this semester has passed...

Well, tonight for azmi will be a long one. The eve of the handing up of any ica will cause yours truly to stay up very late, sometimes not even sleep either...

***...azmi looks forward to this Sunday. Malacca here i come. Havent had a holiday for years... YEARS... This holidays will truly be one to remember...***

One more thing, TMR 14th Dec 2006 will be an unofficial Sports Day for Media Studies students.

- Badminton courts has been booked from 3.00pm to 6.00pm.
- Table tennis courts will be booked also
- A soccer match between MS seniors and juniors will be held at 6pm. Do come and support the guys in action ( They'll do swell without me la. I wont be playing, got plans after 6 +...)

Entry ends here today...

One more day to go b4 term break...

Aite ppl, back to work it seems...

azmi out...

2006-12-10T21:00:00.000+08:00

Muscles aches...

Didnt actually get to jog just now... Was thinking about it when it rained quite heavily around 6.30 juz now.

But then, my muscles are aching... Must be from the "heavy lifting" of the heavy boxes from my trip to IKEA yesterday. But i'm not complaining. Like they always say, No Pain No Gain...

How i wish i could juz make all my fats vanish!!!... if only it was that simple, then everyone would have supermodel figure and 6 packs...

My dad turning 41 tmr... quite young some people may say, considering i'm only 18. Which literally means that he had me when he was 23...

When i'll be 23, i'll be a free man, having completed my NS... But i dun think i'll be married yet by then, let alone carrying my first child...

Oh well...

***...azmi doesnt have much to write. So he'll end his entry here. Looking forward to school tmr, coz he misses his classmates dearly... One more week of school, and its the term break. Holidays...woo hoo...!!!***

i'll end on that note...azmi out...

2006-12-09T23:10:00.000+08:00

Mood Swings yet again...

Dun think that only girls have mood swings, us guys have our fair share of it too... One moment you can be so joyous you feel like u're on top of the world. Then u feel super hyper that everything and anything can make u laugh. Before u noe it u're damn frustrated that anything around you will and definitely will annoy you...

Boy... what a rollercoaster of emotions you have...

Went to IKEA tampines today. Dad's day off, and so was my sister's (She's working part time at Mac Sun Plaza fyi... having her year end break so she thought may as well work. Suits her, whatever makes her happy la...)

Back to the story...

Didnt have a proper breakfast coz on diet mah... so onli had a slice of bread in the morning. So by the time we reached Ikea, it was like 4.30pm and my stomach started to grumble. Cant help it la... only had a small breakfast and never even had lunch!... None...Zilch...Kosong...

Ikea restaurant was super damn packed la... Took my parents like a whole 40 minutes to queue up and order food. And i was there sitting on the table, "copping" the place and constantly answering people that the table is taken... Waited so long i even lost the appetite to eat. Was actually keen on trying the meatballs (coz ppl say they're good...), but had the chicken wings instead.

It was so freaking oily, i think i could squeeze out the oil to fill a whole bottle. Talk about high cholesterol!!!...

Trip inside was fun. Played around with my sisters, playing chase around the already tight space. Hahaha... imagine all the stares and glares we got from the people there. A big sized 18 year old playing chase and hide-n-seek with his two young sisters. That was a sight...

Niwaez, to make the long story short, Mum bought 2 study tables for both my sisters. It was nicely packed into a box, but who else would carry the boxes if not for the two men of the household. It was so damn heavy la, about 17kg (saw the label...). Mum said to just take cab home, but Dad, being the stubborn man that he is, insisted we just took the bus. Save money he said...

I was so freaking ultra supercalifagilistic MAD!... I didnt mind taking the bus... But when u have to carry a 17kg box and ur arms are all aching, u cant help urself but feel a little angry. I didnt dare to complain much, coz Dad was carrying the exact same weight as me...

By the time i reached home, my arms felt so sore that i couldnt bend my arms straight. But hey, it was good exercise!... I didnt get to jog just now, so i guessed my trip to Ikea compensated for it.

Oh well...

another day in the life of poor old me...

wonder what tomorrow brings...

till then...azmi out...

2006-12-08T23:23:00.000+08:00

It's about Time...

After approximately 5 month whole months of sitting my ass on the couch, munching away on unhealthy snacks and lazying around like a stinking fat buffalo, I have finally decided to slip into my shorts and put on those running shoes...

***Yes... After 5 months... Azmi has finally decided to resume jogging...***

After much pestering and some ridiculous comments by fellow family members that is...

I now stand 'tall' at 1.735 m. I dunnoe how tall is that in feet, but hey, i'm averagely tall. Not too tall, neither am i too short. I'm juz super happy to be at least taller than all the girls in class... Hehehe...

My ideal weight stands between 68 to 74kg... Not that i'm too overweight, but i am tipping the scales slightly off the ideal weight. I now weigh a whopping 77.5kg. Thats freaking 3.5kg off the ideal figure. Goodness...!!!

I think i've gained weight over the past year. I dun realise it, but my aunties keep saying i look chubbier every year. Damn... well, at least they didnt say i'm fat...

I so hate that 'F' word!!!... So people out there, dun u dare call me "f*t"... Juz big - sized will do...

Plus... I dun think i'm that 'obese'... All my clothes still fit, and my jeans has been the same size since i was sec 3... So i think i'm still alrite... Right?...

Niwaez, jogging was good... Cool night breeze... Calm neighbourhood...

Did 3 rounds around my street... Thats about 2-3km plus i think... Although 1 1/2 of that 3 rounds were done by walking at a fast pace.

Hey, what do u expect? I havent jogged for over 5 months...

First days are always the hardest... Trust ME!!!

My calves are are killing me... Other than that, i have no other "injuries", so i'd figure i'm still alrite!...

I'm planning to be 75 kg by the new year.... which is not impossible if i keep this up... I just need the motivation!...

And then slowly losing 2 kg per month. Until i reach my ideal weight...

Napfa coming soon... Next year to be exact. I have yet to train...competitively. I sure would like to kick everyone's ass at Napfa. Hehehe... I've just got to train for my pull-ups and 2.4km run. I think i'm pretty much safe for all the other stations...

But then again, all these could all be in vain... I'm the type that loses motivation to run very easily. I'm just toooo lazy!!!...

I need MOTIVATION!!!...

***...focus azmi...focus!!!...***

So i plan to run at least 3 times a week... Mondays... Wednesdays and Fridays... and maybe on one weekend morning as well...

Will someone please remind to run? If i get too lazy, kick me in the back and push me out the door. Go get some mad dog and get it to chase me round the neighbourhood. Hire some "chio bu's" and get them to run with me. I just need motivation.

***...u can do it azmi... we believe in you...***

Oh yah, also started dieting...actually started yesterday. Cutting down on carbo. They're ur worst enemies. Mum says to cut down and only take rice 2-3 times a week. Other days, just eat wholemeal bread... bee hoon. Yellow mees are also no-nos...

***... can do it one. If not for urself, do it for your mother. If she can still stay slim after 3 pregnancies and 20 years of marriage, so can you...fat ass!!!...***

Okay...stopping here now... Entry getting too long. People dun like to read long entries...

Enjoy the weekend... See u all bright and early Monday morning...

(Plus, i think dieting can be good for me now, coz i'm trying to save money... Hehehe)

i end here today... azmi out...

2006-12-07T10:25:00.000+08:00

It's a lonely Thursday morning...

Here i am, sitting all alone in front of my-now-working-computer. Thats right, this entry of abangazmi.blogspot is brought to you not by a Compaq laptop, but by my own personal computer. I finally got it to work, much to the delight of my mother, who in the first place doubted my ability to take care of this technological problem myself.

***...azmi is so proud of himself...***

Niwaez, back to the entry...

As i was saying, i am now sitting all alone. No one at home. Dad's off from work today, so he's taking Mum and little sis out to breakfast. 1st sister is now happily at work, i hope. So that leaves me, Poor Old Muhammad Azmi aka the boy who watches too much LOTR and desperately needs to lose weight. (Hmm, that shall be an interesting topic for another day.)

***...niwaez, i think if i juz ignore her (him?), she'll juz stop doing all these nonsense... Goodness...***

Was thinking of going back to school, BUT no body seems to be going back this thursday morning. So might as well juz stay at home and finish whatever i have to do here. But with all the distractions, i doubt i'll get anything done.

Oh well...

Looks like its going to be a long lonely weekend for me...

Apart from the fact that i'll be meeting the brothers at mosque tmr...

Other than that, i'll be pretty much spending the weekend as a lone ranger... No plans whatsoever...

Even my JC pals are out... Old Ajay is going back to the motherland (as in not England, but realli India...) and Daniel's settling in with his new job.

But hey, if u're thinking of asking me out for jalan2...why not!... I could use the extra exercise...

I think i'll end my morning entry here. Maybe tonight if i'm into it i'll write a second one.

Before i forget...

***... azmi would like to apologise to ms. V.K.Y.L. for bringing up "the matter" up on his previous entry. He juz couldnt help it, and he noes that its not very nice. He will never bring the matter up again. Promise...***

Alrite then, enjoy ur weekend... i've been blog hopping and it seems that alot of ppl are taking advantage of this long weekend to go shopping la, clubbing la, go jalan2 la... so cool...

Maybe i can take this time to catch up on somethings too... like having a 5hour long xbox playing marathon. haha....

With that, I take my leave...azmi out...

2006-12-06T19:34:00.000+08:00

Legends speaks of an anonymous figure...

Known as...

..."Annonymous"...

No one knows who he is...or who she is. So for now, Annonymous shall only be known as an "it".

It goes around, randomly settling on blogs. Reads it, and then tags... But its comments are not those to ignore. They all leave a mark. Whereever it goes, the blog will suffer some form of anguish. That what annonymous do... It has so much time that it can go disturb others' blog. For that i say... screw you.

I shall not mention what it did to this blog, for i think you all can read for yourself. I was thinking of deleting the entire tagboard, but then again, this annonymous can always come back and vandalise it.

Besides, it can be a good laugh, reading something so outrageous...

***...why can you just leave me in peace?...***

One more thing, dont go around blindly accusing people of being this annonymous figure. It could be anybody, even u, me, that karang guni man, Lord Vader or even Aragorn. I dunnoe who it is... and i dun think annonymous has the balls to reveal itself. So dun be bad and accuse any tom, dick or harry...

Moving on... My last entry was indeed random... Not relations to who so ever, especially this annonymous figure. IT WAS PURELY RANDOM. I mean, cant u juz feel the love from ur family and friends. Geesh...

Niwaez, having problems with my new PC. Because of technology, azmi can have fights with his parents over something so minor. Why do i get the feeling that my mum feels that i joined the wrong course?...

But mum...were u not the one that said follow ur heart, choose something that u like...

That all of a sudden, due to my lack of expertise in computers, u say that I'd better off be learning computers...

Mums can be so confusing...

But i noe she means well...

And i noe she didnt mean it...

***...azmi kinda of started it... I was so frustrated i started banging the monitor screen. Then Mum shouted "See la...go take computer course don't want...".

I retaliated, saying its not something that i like doing.

Then Mum asked, "So how if the computer breaks down?"

To which i 'bravely' answered, "Juz call a computer expert la..."

"You think I alot of money is it?", my mum shoots back, storming off...***

Tsk tsk... so old also fight with mother... tsk tsk... U're not a young teenager anymore azmi, u're a young adult... Will go and apologise when she gets back from where ever she went...

I guess my entries nowadays all revolve around my daily lives, which could get kinda boring. I have some issues to write on, like racism, government policies, world affairs, but there's always something that happened during my day that is so bloggable. Maybe next time...

Oh yah, the 5th of December shall be remembered as " Someone touched Someone at the wrong place" Day... Hehehe...

2006-12-05T09:57:00.000+08:00

All the world needs now, is Love, Sweet Love...

Love makes the world go round... or so they say...

I don't know why, but i have this good tingling feeling all over my body.

At first, i thought it was the weather, abit chilly out there. But its not it...

Then i thought i must be ultra thin tshirt...Nah, not that either...

Then what is it i think?...

Must be the love...

...Can u feel the love tonight... (in the words of Elton John)

***I think our dear friend azmi has a little too much to drink. He's been gulping his morning milo like nobody's business. 3 whole big cups to be exact...

Niwaez, he does indeed feel loved.

But dun get him wrong, its not some special girl in his life. For now, he enjoying singlehood like nobody's business.***

...Who needs a girlfriend aniways...hehehe... But it'll be nice to have one though...hehehe

***He just feels the love from the ones closest to him...aka his beloved mother, his father that he thinks he is looking very much similar to, his two young wacky sisters, his old but very loved grandmother... and not forgetting...

...His friends...

...Wah, this azmi very emo huh this few days...tsk tsk...love bug alert!!!...***

Haha...so readers of abangazmi.com ( i've been meaning to change the blog address for months now, coz i was wanting to call it like " LordofAzmi" or "StarAbang" or "TheReturnOfAzmi".blogspot for the longest time)...

If u feel the love together with me, go give yourself a big bear hug.

And today, go give the first classmate u see in school a hug too... (Do at ur own risk. If u kena one tight slap from the person who thinks u're mad, not my problem...haha)

***And by the way dear azmi, that was so random...***

i guess so... azmi out...

2006-12-02T14:36:00.000+08:00

It's always nice when someone dedicates a whole blog entry for you...

I never had the privilege, but i'm not going to fret over it. Coz i noe i'm not worthy of one...

But there are many there who are...

One of them is celebrating her birthday today. Her 19th to be exact...

Her fellow friend had a whole entry about her and her alone. So nice... Learnt alot about how she's like before NYP... Hehe...

I shall not name this special person through out this whole blog entry, coz we all noe who i'm talking about...

But one thing's certain, she holds a very special place in my heart...

Consider this entry like a testimonial, for take my word when i say this girl is special... very special...

A lady with the strong mind. Such a kind heart, always thinking of others before her own. A true friend to all. Independent. A leader...naturally. She holds oh so many traits that a guy would want in a girl... Special indeed... (and did i mention she's cute too...hehe)

I've been blessed to be part of her life, no matter how small my presence is... I'm glad to have known her...

So here's wishing the girl ever so special a very special birthday indeed.

Thanks for being a part of my life, and letting me be a part of yours.

May our friendship last till the end of time...

Oh yah, i take this opportunity to beg forgiveness for all my wrongdoings that i've done, all the time that i may have hurt you, angered you, stressed you... Sincerely, i'm sorry...

I end my entry here, with a very good tingling feeling all over my body. Somehow, it feels good juz blogging about you...

till next time...

2006-12-01T22:26:00.000+08:00

They say if u have nothing to write, then don't write anything at all...

Well, screw you, coz i do have something to write about. Heh Heh!

First things first, to a fellow young acquaintance that juz entered manhood (aka juz had circumcision...haha), Welcome to the Club...

Nowadays, the way they do it is SO easy...juz laser here, laser there, PUH! It's off...

My time, they had to wrestle me juz to get me to lie on the bed, and there wasnt any hi-tech gizmos or anything ...Back then was Snip Snip, Cut Cut, Pull Pull, Plaster Plaster... Then we're done... Not to mention the one week recovery period. Imagine having to wear a sarong for one week, juz so that ur little brother downstairs doesnt have any contacts with clothings whatsoever.

That was over 10 years ago...

I have grown, and so has my little brother (who isnt so little anymore...haha)

Niwaez...

Earlier today met up with azhar and qamarul for a little trip to town. Performed friday prayers there too ( so that u noe there's a mosque in busy bustling orchard as well ok...)...

If they said girls were slow-shoppers, try these two. We went home with juz a leather bangle (azhar's) and a tie (that mine...)... AFTER 3 HOURS OF shopping...

Oh well... Timecheck now, 10.40pm, another 20minutes to Survivor... Cant miss it... After that, its the Doha Games Opening... Watching that too...

As of now, not so many people are online... Our upcoming birthday girl is out having a bbq... The rest should be at Louis's play (sorry bradder cannot go ar, I'm sure it was awesome...) And maybe all the others are out having fun on a friday nite as well...

Till next time, azmi takes his leave...

Kinda scary, coz i juz heard a woman hysterically laughing, from the direction of my living room window. Thing is, there's no corridor outside that window... Maybe it's juz some drunk chick down stairs, but then again...

Overnight at a friend's house...

I kinda like doing work late at night, in the company of my group mates, all sitting together at someone's house, discussing group work like there's no tomorrow. All started last week, when i had my first overnight group meeting at Cherri's house.

So here i am, at louis's house, doing IMC...

But on the flipside, it does have a heavy toll on your body...

Head starts to turn...body starts to ache...But hey, we got the job done. Considering we're an all boys team, i'd say we get things done quite promptly... Who says boys were all lazy, sit around talk cock and no work?...

Oh well...

Back to work it seems... Timecheck-3.43am...rite, u didnt see it wrong... I wrote AM...thats freaking 3.43 in the morning...

Aniwaez...2 more days to that special day...

indeed, a day worth waiting for...

till then. azmi out.

Frustrated...

Anger...completely tempered...Raged...Furious...Frustrated...

I cant seem to log in into MSN...and that angers me...

Sometimes... technology can be ur best fren. And at times, they can really kick you hard in the ass.

Damn MSN...

Moving on...

NYPians do have a sense of humour...coz when we get frustrated with a vending machine that doesnt work, we place notes on it that says "Coin Eating Machine"... That deserves a good laugh...

Azmi must be losing his touch to write his blog entries, coz he is now stoning in front of his laptop thinking of what to write ( Muz be from the frustration of not being able to go online...)

And azmi learnt something about himself today... His head gets itchy when he gets frustrated or stressed... So thats why he keeps scratching his head when he's got a project to hand in...

Oh well...azmi shall now try to re-install MSN, and see what happens... See you soon online...

azmi out...

aniwaez... the countdown has already begun...

2006-11-27T19:10:00.000+08:00

On a dark rainy night...in school...

Well, it's not actually nighttime yet, more like late evening. Timecheck, 7.15pm, here with the library research carrel, beside two pals of mine. We were a family of four juz now, but one had to leave and then there was three.

These three (aka Wong, Cleo and Keiko...) can make me stay in school all day, and i'll still enjoy every second of it.

None other than the people that make my school life complete. All 3 of them... Team Cheiron... Velda... Cherri... Andre...

Forcing my bro Andre to blog for the first time in many months. More than 9 months to be exact. If velda and cherri was to be pregnant (juz a figure of speech...hehe), our family would have grown bigger with two kids alreadi...HAHA...

Cant believe andre can get a writers' block juz thinking of what to blog. I mean...juz talk la bro. About politics...women...school...anything... Juz dun criticise the government too much...

Niwaez...i muz say life in poly was not as i imagined to be. I've made frens that would live with me till the end of time... Frens that i would treasure till my time is up, and beyond...

Frens that i would love... In sickness or in health... Till death do us part...

Seriously...

Azmi out

2006-11-26T14:22:00.000+08:00

...Sometimes late at night...

I heard voices in my head...

The dropping of marbles...

Mumbles and laughters...

Creaking of the door...

At times i see them...

White flashes of light...

Swaying shadows on the wall...

and worst...

something wrong with blogger and i cant seem to space the entry out, so everything seems squashed...apologies for that...

I was thinking of what to write, and this crosses my mind.

If you're reading this alone at night, you may want wait till the protection of daylight...

I've been fortunate for their appearances to me has always been vague...such as shadows, orbs, mysterious lights on the wall or just fast glimpses...

There are times when i see so clearly...

But then again...i can hear them... Maybe it's juz voices in my head, or the simple matter of the mind playing tricks on you... But you choose what you want to believe, i have my own faith...

God created everything in a balance...For there is day and there is night... For there is dark and there is light...For there is evil and for there is good...

And for there is the living and for there is the dead...

It's not always that i get to see or hear them... the last one being on a trip to ubin with friends, where an empty abandoned hut shows a different side to itself... Of occupants long gone to this world, yet still lingering at their former residence. Streaks of lights through the gap on the wooden walls, mysteriously broken by moving shadows... from the inside... It may just be some pranksters, but how can the front door be shut locked?...

It may just be the island heat...

But if it isnt...then what is it?...

In my childhood, when i was too young to remember things, parents and relatives of mine said that many incidents revolve around me. My grandmother recounted once, in an evening just after sunset, I started wailing for no reason. I started pointing to the wall, as if there was something there. The men of the house were not at home for they were at the mosque for evening prayers. ( I used to live just opposite a mosque, thus the convenience to frequent there every prayer time)

I was hysterical...they said. My mum continued saying i was very hot, as if down with extremely high fever. Grandmother was chanting some verses to me, and she said my late grandfather came home soon after. My dad, she said was working late that night. My grandfather sat down and sat a verse from the Quran, and i stopped crying, as if awoken from a spell.

Grandmother said alot more things happened as my grandfather was reading the Quran, but she says talking about it just gives her the creeps. She leaves it to my imagination to know what happened, but she said it was unforgettable.

Freaky?...I'm typing this alone in my living room and i'm scared...

I usually dun tell people of the things i see...for at this time and age, it's quite unbelieveable when a guy tells you that he has seen a ghost. So most incidents i keep to myself...

You may be sitting back screaming BULLSH*T as you're reading this, but you choose what to believe.

i saw something that i shouldnt have seen while on the bus to a friend's house quite late yesterday... It was very fast, very sudden yet so vivid... Could be because of fatigue, but something that clear couldnt be just my imagination... The bus was zooming past rows of trees of the expressway, but one tree stood out...Why? Coz there was someone standing next to it...

Does the description "woman with white flowy gown with long swaying hair" sound familiar to you?

I leave you now with words with advice... You may not believe in them, for you may not have encountered them... But believe me when i say that there are things out there that God created not for the human eye to see.

You choose what to believe...

Just don't look back...

2006-11-22T22:23:00.000+08:00

It's been a very long long week...

Have not blogged for almost two weeks already...reasons being that i'm either too busy, or juz plain old lazy. But whatever it is, azmi is now back on cyberspace and blogging again...for now. I will take you thru what has happened this past two weeks, and boy were they all memorable. It's going to be a long entry, but i assure it'll be worthwhile reading. Coz doesnt matter who you are, be it my MS fren, my malay mosque brothers, my ex Evgians, or even some chap on the street...The happenings of my past two weeks involve you...TRUST ME!

Let me start backwards...starting from the happenings of TODAY! Well, the gang went to eat Botak Jones, but sadly, these "botak western people" dun understand the potential advantages of going halal!... #$%&^#%... It's no fun to see people around digging in scrumptuous steak and chips when u have to go "travel" for a plate of nasi padang.

Sometimes, the life of a minority can be kinda hard, but at least i have understanding frens who make me feel right at home... (but hey, you cant escape from the occasional times when u feel alienated...like when ur other frens start speaking their mother tongues or start conversing in Cantonese in front of you... how would you feel if i spoke bahasa melayu in ur face knowing well that you dun speak the language!... so a little consideration for this little brother wont hurt)

WATCHED CASINO ROYALE AFTER THAT!!!... Woo hoo...it has all the elements in making a good Bond movie... Sexy babes...hot bed scenes...massive gun fire...a hunky star? (well, that's debatable...) Nice movie la overall, although i muz admit i'm not a fan of Bond movies, so cant say i enjoy it very much...But hey, ok la for 6 bucks...

THEN came the highlight of the day...Went back to evg for the prefects camp Campfire... Always an event to look forward to every year. This year was good, very good. Almost as good as when i organised it 3 years ago...haha... Met bernice for the first time in 2 years... Thats a very long time. Muz say she's kinda cute (haha, if u're reading this bernice...yes, i'm saying u look cute...hehe) Very fun batch this year campers are... Very enthu, very hyper... I like...

(Oh yah, come to think of it, Bernice looks kinda like Velda!...Really! Now that i'm imagining them both in my head...Ya, they do look alike... So i guess that makes velda cute too...hehe, she's always cute!)

Well...all that happened today, and i'm barely to the end of my entry. Still a long way to go, so maybe i'll speed up on the rest...

Ice skating last saturday...Very tiring...very fun? (again, thats debatable...its no fun when u keep falling and making ur bum all wet!) But hey, any time wif frens are times to remember fondly... But that said, i dun think i'll ever go ice skating EVER again... hehe... sorry... juz not my cup of tea...

The day before, i went Hari Raya visiting with the brothers. We were our goofy selves as usual, and had loads of enjoyment taking pictures here and there, (and imagining that there was an angel everytime we took a picture, coz there's always excessive sunlight at the back, causing a bright beam of light...or otherwise known as an "angel"...haha!)

Of course, this is one of our nicer pics...and there's no "angel" here... Juz that u noe, that kid at the top is no relation to any of us, he's juz some kid playing the playground...

Spent alot of money these past weeks...ALOT!...But at least i use my money to spend it on quality time with family and frens...At least all that hard work at Metro was worth it...hehehe...

So...if u are reading this sentence, means u have read the entire entry, and for that, azmi thanks you. I guess there's plenty of silly grammatical or vocab mistakes in this super long entry, but hey, nobody's perfect.

Looking forward to all the wonderful things planned for the upcoming days... That means more quality time with you!...

azmi thanks you for reading...but most importantly, thank you for being my friend...Awww!...

so peepz..see ya...god bless...azmi out...

Friday was a BLAST!

Once again, THANKS GUYS FOR COMING DOWN TO MY REALLY HUMBLE HOME! YOU HAVE MADE MY YEAR COMPLETE YET AGAIN!...

I'm not gonna yap so much, I'm juz goin to let the pictures do all the talking.

Oh yah, on behalf of my family, thanks for all the goodies u guys bought for us. U shudnt have la, we dun expect anything in return. But realli, A VERY BIG THANK YOU from azmi and family...

Picture a bit blur, forgot to switch my resolution. Niwaez, look how engrossed jessica and joy are playing my xbox. Turns out, the xbox wasnt the most popular mode of entertainment after all. It was the TV. Why? Coz all of you kiddish people are nuts about Power Rangers. I've watched that show a dozen time, and i'm sure u have too.

Aniwaez, what was darryn trying to do in this picture? Looks damn crude la...haha...

Again, pardon the crappy picture quality. My camera very cheap kind la, buy at Sim Lim for a mere 200 bucks, complete with all the SD cards and technical quizmos some more. Niwaez, it's always a nice sight seeing a group of close friends sitting cosy on my couch, watching Big Mommas House 2... Hope u enjoyed it...

Hey hey... The girls' picture didnt turn out so bad after all. Haha... Looks like they had so much fun, fun eating that is... HAHA! How was the mee rebus?... I juz realised this morning that i only have one small freaking serving of that nice meal yestrday...too busy la... But i did get to taste it, and boy it was goood!

My sister took this picture, and i think her hand was trembling, that why it's a bit fuzzy. But it's a nice group photo...everybody seems so happy... Must be the spike that i secretly added into ur drinks...Haha, juz kidding...

Oh man, my sister muz realli go for some camera photo taking class or something. But hey, she's onli 8, so she's pardoned i guess. Aniwaez, here's all u kids trying to act like Power Rangers. And who's Edmund trying to be? Alpha?... And sorry velda, ur face got cut off half...i bet you'd make a fine power ranger...hehehe...

Thanks again to all of u...for making yesterday one of the best days of the year...

SINFONIA WAS GREAT! ALTHOUGH I FELT LIKE SLEEPING THRU SOME OF THE SLOW NUMBERS (tired la, it's not easy being a host for an open house u noe) , I FORCED MYSELF AWAKE THRU OUT THE WONDERFUL PERFORMANCE. KUDOS TO AMELIA AND GANG! ( and boy were u an excellent conductor. I think the only "conductor" i can be in life is a Bus conductor...hehe)

Have a nice weekend guys...and thanks again...

(hey andre, can pass me the "group" video we took in my room? I'd love to show it to my mum and tell her how wonderful u guys are!...)

azmi happily signing out...

Azmi's humble home opens itself...

Well, what will hari raya be like without a trip down to your Malay friend's house... What's the use of Hari Raya if u dun get to taste all the delicious kuehs and goodies... What will Hari Raya be like without...YOU!...

So this friday, make urself free from 2.30pm to 6pm. Take a trip down to woodlands and come visit ME! Below are the details...

Venue:
Blk 741, Woodlands Circle
#04-421 (Juz take the lift to the 4th flr and turn right. My house will be smacked at ur face...Impossible to not find it)

Here's a simple map...

The red star is my house...and the blue star is the bus stop you must alight from.

1. Take an MRT down to Woodlands.

2. Take 913 from Woodlands Interchange at Berth 7 ( Not to be confused with Berth 12 or 13, there's 913 over there as well. 913 is a loop service, so it goes to both sides of Woodlands)

3. Alight at the 9th bus stop (so better dun lose count)...its a bus stop in front of a multi storey carpark.

4. You would noe that u have alighted correctly if u see a green school. Called Evergreen Primary. My block is opposite that school...

Easy?...Of course it is...

But if u fear getting lost and all that nonsense...juz liaise with the many people in class who have been to my house. Juz ask around... Azmi wont be picking anybody up or anything like that, I'll be too busy at home...

Anything juz call me either at my HP or my residence at 63689261...

Be warned though, if u come b4 2.3opm, chances are i wont be at home yet coz i'll be at the mosque.

So, i look forward to seeing you this friday...All are invited...Even some passerby who accidentally stumbles into this note...HAHA!...

No forcing though...if u cant make it...its ok...fine with me...but do try to make it down...

See yah!

hehe

2006-11-03T22:45:00.000+08:00

Singapore...Are we really a multi-racial society?

The Chinese call it "Yum Cha"...

The Malays call it "Lepak Minom Kopi"...

And i call it... " Rilek one corner for 4 hours...AND drinking kopi!"...

What ever u call it, it's still a fun thing to do, especially with those closest to you. So every moment spent with friends, is a moment to remember. ( i can imagine some people going "Awww" rite now as they read that statement... Haha!)

It's a very nice sight to behold... A group of friends...of different shapes and sizes, height and width, but with a common interest, sitting together round a table, having a nice meal and well, basically spending good quality time together. But most importantly, it's always nice to see a group of people from different ethnicity bonding together... Isnt that what Multi-racialism is all about?

Singapore, if u still dun noe, is made up of 4 major races. Namely 70% from the Chinese, 14% from the Malays, 7% from the Indians and the rest are mainly Eurasians...and others... So yah, i think it's safe to say we a fairly mixed country.

We've been drilled about the importance of multi-racialism since we were that wee high... Remember ur primary sch textbooks, where every English passage and every Math problem sum will have a representative from each race...Namely Ah Tan, Ah Mat, Ah Joo and Ah John. (HAHA!) They all seem to get along so well with each other... but question is, is it really true in real Singapore?...

I believe so...even if it's not true...i choose to believe so...

But until all the racial stereotypes about one another cease...until that day comes, Singapore still has a long way towards reaching true multi-racialism.

I believe that one day... groups of different races are not longer an uncommon sight marching at Orchard Road...

I believe that one day... Multi racial partnership are rampant that shops like The Prata Yong Tau Fu House or The Nasi Lemak Fish N Chip Cafe will spring up every where.

I believe that one day... Couples each from a different race, holding hands romantically down the Esplanade will not make our heads turn and frown...

Even for me, i dun think it's such a bad thing for a Malay guy to date a Chinese girl...and for An Indian girl to go out with a Chinese guy...and vice versa...

( My mum was talking to one of my aunties juz the other day, and wasnt aware that i heard their conversation. My mum was saying," I sure hope that azmi ends up with a Malay girl. Ending up with a non-malay one will be SO problematic!"... I think she's a little worried, coz she noes i've had past relationships with non-malay girls before. But she doesnt want me to eventually end up marrying one... What do u think?...)

To sum things up, i am thankful to be around people of different ethnicity, of different backgrounds, each unique in their own way...

I look forward to more yum cha sessions, and many more bonding activities...hehehe...

And so my fellow singaporeans, if u're the type that only mixes with ur own race, Go on! Take chances, Do something new! Go have kopi with that the Chinese dude in class, or go down and play soccer with ur Indian neighbour.

And so, if u see that nice Malay boy in your class and u feel like dating him, i'd say go for it...hehe...

Lets make Singapore truely Multi Racial.

By the way...it's like deja vu to have Cheiron back together again. It'll be juz like old times, where we can moogle and sprout wonderful ideas...hehehe...Boy am i euphoric!!!...

Peace up...azmi the future MP who will push for true multi-racialism signing out...

The Age of Blogging (for Azmi)...is Over!!!

Well, at least not over completely, juz that poor old azmi doesnt have all too much time to sit in front of his lappie and yap away on his blog. Old Azmi is very busy nowadays, so pardon him for not blogging so avidly as before.

But azmi isnt goin to let this blog go down the drain... He'll blog...At times...

But what's there to blog about, apart from the politics of school, and the politics of the world. But that said, i do have things in mind to write about...BUT HEY! Lazy la to write long long entries when the only bugger who's goin to read it is yours truly...Me Myself and Azmi... Haha...

We juz left the holy month of Ramadhan...and has juz celebrated with grandeur the festive celebration of Aidilfitri... Kinda fun actually... Fun-er that previous, for reasons that i myself dunnoe... But hey, every Hari Raya is a day to celebrate. Dunnoe why but i cant seem to post my hari raya pics here. Damn, i was about to place on GIANT picture of my mum's pineapple tart, juz to make all u out there drool to death...HAHA...

Niwaez, goin back to work now... Work as a struggling ambitious tertiary student hoping to make it big in life... But well, at least i'm having FUN struggling...HAHA...

Cheers ppl, thanks for reading my blog. Although i doubt anybody does animore...WHY? Coz who bothers to read other ppl's blog aniwae. I muz admit, i read ur blogs onli once in blue-purple-yellow-red-black moon... Until that colourful moon night appears, i'll be too busy wif work or juz plain old lazy. So pardon azmi for that.

Enjoy the weekend ppl, although i guess all of u will be too bombarded with things to do to enjoy it.

Good luck to my friends and cousins taking O levels next week... Namely...Bro Azhar, i noe u will make it. NYP awaits man...

Cousin Atikah, all the best and work hard, coz i noe u have what i takes. I'm always an "sms" away. Look out SAJC, my cousin is coming!!!

And then there's of course my other juniors who will be taking their papers, GOOD LUCK TO U TOO!!!

And to my pals in JC, GOOD LUCK FOR THOU A LEVELS. SEE YOU IN TEKONG ( ns coming soon mah!!) , and for the girls...SEE U AT NTU or NUS or some uni la...

Ok then, take care and especially for my beloved group (oh u noe who u are), take good care of urself coz i dun want u getting sick. Dun forget to do "work" and stay funky. Juz to let u noe...U GUYS ROCK SIA!!! hahaha...

azmi signing out...byezzz...

A small of me is so freaking scared of what may happen during internship...BUT a bigger part is so freakin excited that i'm @#$#ing in my pants...hahaha... juz joking...

School life starts all over again, and i muz say it isnt so bad after all. New modules, new lecturers ( well, most of them...) and most importantly, a new group. Let's us work together to make this semester a good one.

Okay then, that's it for me. Lazy la write so long, people got read meh?...HAHA...

(i'm getting lazy at this bloggin business. I used to blog everyday...now? I'm happy if i blog once a week. But at least i dun leave my blog to rot and gather cobwebs... take note of that mr. littlereddot...haha)

Oh well, enjoy ur long weekend ppl...coz i doubt that next weekend will be as short as this one, once all the projects start to creep in...

Memories of Metro Paragon...

Looks a bit blur coz we didnt take the photo with a camera... My batteries fell flat on me, juz as i was about to take my first pic... Luckily a friend at work has an awesome 2 megapixel camphone... Thanks Nilar...

Niwaez... this is my supervisor...Kevin. He's so freakin young la, more like our generation... (ps...he's only 24, and he's single...Any takers?...)

He's also one of the best supervisors i've ever worked with... Makes me want to go back to Metro come next holiday...

Here's June...one of my colleague at work... Nice lady... She's like my 2nd mother, always taking care of young me!... Haha...

A nice group photo (I'm taller than Kevin btw...) ...

Here's two out of the many promoters i've made friends with... Nilar and Faezah...

Of course, there's many more people that i've made friends with... but they're either too camera shy or are not available at the moment... (i wished i had taken photo with this one girl though, but sadly, she was off that day...darn...!!!)

Niwaez, overall, i have enjoyed my stay at Metro Paragon... I will remember each and every one of you... I will never forget the dingy old storeroom full of shoes... that tad old boring morning briefing that i pretend to pay close attention to but actually i was half asleep..haha... That unforgettable Metro song ( can u believe it? Metro has a song!!??)

Thanks for making azmi a happy boy at Metro...

Btw, thanks again for those birthday wishes...

take care aite...azmi out...

2006-10-10T23:18:00.000+08:00

A picture paints a thousand words...

Can you guess whose birthday it is?...

I turn legal today...after 18 years of wait...

Thanks for all of you who sent me b'day wishes today... Azmi is glad that you remembered...

From the bottom of my heart...Thank you...

I have officially ended my career at Metro today... I muz say it was a very emotional one. I would never have thought that i would grow so attached to the company and the people, but I have indeed... I will remember each and every one of you... truly... We will see each other soon...

Took some pics at work juz now with a friend's camera phone...2 megapixels u noe... Waiting for her to send me the pics... Then can show here what... hehehe...

School reopening soon...next monday to be exact... Love the new timetable... Friday NO CLASS... No need to worry about being late and making it in time for Friday prayers anymore... Yippee!!!...

Take care all of you...

Muz go yum cha b4 school reopens okay...

Happy fasting to my Muslim brothers and sisters... azmi out...

2006-10-04T15:03:00.000+08:00

It's me again...

I'm into my 7th week with metro now...and that only means one thing... School will be reopening very soon...all so soon... sigh...

Juz when i was starting to love working with shoes... It's back to the reality of projects and exams and classrooms politics... HAHA... But well, on the bright side, school isnt so bad as work... I think...

Bumped into an old friend on the MRT on the way to work two days ago... I dun think she'll be reading this but if you do... Sarah!!! I'm blogging about YOU!!!...HAHA...

Havent seen her for quite some time... A whole year to be exact... I think the last time we met was T'chers Day...LAST YEAR... Niwaez, it's always nice to meet an old friend...

The usual "How are you?" and "Where are you studying now" conversation popped up... so i got to learn that she's in SAJC now...and she got to now i'm in the infamous NYP... ( i think we've asked each other the same old question before last year... but hey! Who remembers!??)

Kind of pity my JC pals...they're having their A levels soon...November to be exact... It feels like it was juz yesterday when we took our O levels, and now, they have to take their A levels... Its like a neverending cycle of exams...

But wait...they shud be pitying me... They've only got another few more months to go before ending their PreU education... I'VE STILL GOT A WHOLE YEAR AND A HALF...

Sarah was telling me... By the time i graduate from NYP...finish my 2 years of NS, she'll most probably be in her final year of Uni...or better still, graduate alreadi liao...

HAHAHA!!!...true indeed...

Aniwaez, wish them ALL THE BEST for their A levels!!!

Last week of holidays coming up next week... Heard some ppl are alreadi planning out some "things" to do next week...hehe...u noe my number...hehe...

Goin to take a nap now, while waiting for break fast time later at 7...

See u all soon guys...

Happy fasting...azmi out...

The Adventures of Blood Brothers Issue #345

In the compelling story of...

The Hunt for the Sotong Dalam Tin

What a night it has been... really, i'd never had so much "fun" in one night... eversince i was enslaved by metro...

So finally, after 1 1/2 months of being apart, i was finally reunited with my blood brothers...or rather, 60% of them... Have been tired with work the past 2 days, and tonight is the first night i officially start my terawih prayers...

Met with ayul and faizal at our usual meeting hang out, before strolling to a place we have all not visited for a year... The Infamous Multi Purpose Hall of 711... carried out prayers of 8 rakaat ( all tired la...especially me...) and khai had an urge to drink Mac Milkshake... (kesian dier...kempunan milkshake...)Faizal was kind to belanja us KFC (since he's a loyal KFC employee, he gets to enjoy 25% discount... it pays to have close relations with a KFC employee...hehe)

For that...THANK YOU BRO FAIZAL...

Then i had to proceed to Prime Supermarket...WHY?...Coz i was to buy a can of cuttlefish for zahur tmr...We've been eating fried chicken and sawi for the past 3 days... Its time for a change...But WTF, prime doesnt sell canned sotong... ^$%$&##&#$%#...

So while ayul and faizal buy some desserts from Mac, i hunt thru Budget store for my sotong tin... but damn, they dun have it as well...Time then was alreadi 9.50pm...panic starts to creep in... The thought of another day of eating fried chicken for zahur was too much to bear... I MUZ GET MY SOTONG IN A CAN!!!...

So with a milkshare and oreo Mcflurry in their hands, we literally trotted (fast walk in human terms...haha) to any minimarts we could see in our paths...

All the minimarts were closed...

Hope was fading...

When all seemd lost...the one store i despise sheds some light...The Mamak shop behind my block was still open... Thank GOD!!!...So there, i finally my long lost darling...THE SOTONG IN A TIN...CAN...BALANG BESI...whatever u call it...

I've found it...

Thank you Mamak...
