Letter to the man in the mirror

2007-07-28T00:08:00.000+08:00

A month has gone by since my last entry here. And a lot of things have changed throughout this whole month. Dr. Ernest Wong’s Super-Teen workshop which I attended on the second week of July, inspired me and made me believe that I could achieve my dreams which have been lingering in my mind even before Dr. Ernest told us that to achieve success, we must have DREAMS. Super-Teens changed my life.

To tell you the truth, I was quite surprised to see messages on my tag-board, even though I haven’t checked out this site for quite some time. To these people who continue to scroll thru these pages, thank you, and I hope that you will gain something good while visiting this site.

“It is not about how good you are now. It’s how good you want to be.” – That is a very very important quote I learnt throughout my 3 days at Super-Teen. I learnt that it does not matter if you have been failing Math, not done well in your studies, whether you’ve made a lot of mistakes, as long as you want to be a better person, a better student, a better son/daughter, a better friend, as long as you want to succeed, and you believe that you can succeed, you will succeed.

Provided that you:
1) Believe and keep thinking of your goals
2) Take action and work towards achieving you goals
3) Feel Good (think positive thoughts, be happy)

I passed down what I’ve learnt from the workshop to my friends who could not attend it as it was exclusively for the O level graduating classes. And they ask me, “Why must I feel good?” The reason is, what you think in your mind, can only be manifested if your mind is in a positive state. If you are feeling sad, sing a song! Think of a happy event, or someone that makes you happy. And if you think it in your mind, take actions, and feel good, anything you can possibly dream of can and will become a reality.

Why am I sharing this with you? Why post this on my blog? To have been blessed with this knowledge and to have understood the concept of this law changed the way I live my life now and I feel obliged to pass it down to the world. I want you to know that you can be the person you dream to be. But you must believe you can.

I have learnt a lot from the camp, from genius study skills, to success planning. But the most important lesson I’ve learnt after Super Teens, that I will carry throughout my entire life, is… to see the best in people. I remember before the camp, when I hated my teachers, really disliked some of my schoolmates, and had a lot of negative energy from the people around me. I learnt that these bad feelings towards people, all these negative vibes, only help to slowly weaken and kill my mind and my soul. I’ve learnt to appreciate every single human being around me, even people who I regarded before as my enemies. If you feel good and see the best in people, life would suddenly be much brighter and your path towards happiness will be set clear. If only everyone in the world could be like that – the world would definitely be a very meaningful place.

Found this at Steffi's blog.

It describes what type of person I am. Well, honestly, most of it is VERY VERY TRUE, some of it is FALSE, and some is true but I never admit. Haha.

LIBRA MAN

A man who has no balance like his Zodiac symbol. He is not totally the gentle, cool
, calm and charming guy like what you see. He has another dark side of
aggression, stubborn and he likes to start an argument the most. Sometimes
he can be so depressed and unstable. Up and down like he is trying to balance
himself most of the time

To many people, he is a friendly guy and always smile even when he is mad or
upset. His voice always gentle and calm. He always set and comb his hair as
if he comes out from a shampoo advertisement. Mostly Libra men are good
looking, even the ugly one is charming. When he smiles, it is so bright that
the whole world is smiling with him too.

When he is in a balance mood, he is the type of person you want to be with.
In other unbalancing mood, he likes to make people argue about something and
watching it with fascination and fun. He will wait to be the one who
compromise and clear thing up. He likes to be in a conflicting conversation.

Libra man is lazy by nature. After his tired day at work, he likes to sit
still and just look out of the window or read quietly. He likes to be in his
own world. After recharging his battery, he will be very energetic again and
may even take you out that night.

Libra man normally will not do any shocking or abnormal things to be
noticed. He likes to be conformed with his crowd, but if you watch him
carefully, you will see the different. If he wear a shirt, it will have to
be a zipper front instead of buttons, or a special tie bar. There is always
something in him that he will not allow totally conformity to take him over.

A straight forward , no non-sense guy. He is careful and delicate in
details. He will spent extra time to doing it right, than comes back to
correct them later. He hates people who boost, or exaggerate. He does not
like over dressed woman or make herself a center of an attention.

He loves to read. He loves poems and loves art. When he works he can work
like crazy, but after work he can turn on romantic jazzy music and treat you
so gently. He loves to give people advice and normally give a good advice.
If you fall for him, you will stay like being trapped in a spider web. If
you want to break up with him, he will persuade you a zillion ways to stay
and you can not stop him anyway. After he persuade you to stay, or after a
big fight, he will be so sweet to you as if he has never hurt your feeling
before ever.

He will has his own way to win a girl love and affection. Once she says yes,
he will lay back and wonder if he should go on or if he should back out. In
his teen, he changed many girl friends because he can not clearly separate
loving a friend and loving a girl friend. He will check and re-cheek if his
match is suitable and compatible with him.

Even he is a romantic man, he can hardly understand the emotion of the one
he loves. He is a generous guy even he sets his life so systematically. He
never knows when he makes you unhappy. He never knows how he up set you. He
will never knows what he said wrong. If he is your lover, be prepare for
this.

A not so pretty girl with no brain is not his type of woman. If you are not
pretty enough, he will not mind talking to you but he does not care to get
to know you. Any girls, pretty or ugly can ask for his help, he will be
happy to help. He hates to argue by yelling at each other, so you tend to
see he argue with his girl friend seriously but try at best to be very
quiet.

He likes to have a girl friend by getting to know each other like a friend
first. If you want him, you have to like the same thing he does. He prefers
a pretty and gentle woman than a smart and ugly woman. You have to
understand his mood especially he can has many different moods. He is a
private person, so when he needs to be alone better let him be.

Al-Fatihah

In Memory Of

Allahyarham Jaafar Bin Dayan (Tok Ngah)

1935-2007

Semoga Allah menucuri rahmat ke atas rohnya, mengampuni

This One's For You

This one will never sell,
they'll never understand,
I don't even sing it well,
I try, but I just can't.
But I sing it every night,
and I fight to keep it in,
'Cause This One's For You,
This One's For You.

I've done a hundred songs,
from fantasies to lies,
But this one's so real for me
that I'm the one who cries.
But I sing it every night,
and I fight to hide the tears,
Cause This One's For You,
This One's For You.

This One's For You wherever you are,
to say that nothings been the same
since we've been apart.
This one's for all the love we once knew
Like everything else I have
This One's For You, oh.

I've got it all,
it seems, for all it means to me,
But I sing of things I miss
and things that used to be.
And I wonder everynight
if you might just miss me too,
And I sing for you I sing for you.

This One's For You wherever I go,
to say the things I should have said
things that you should know
This one's to say that all I can do
is hope that you will hear me sing
cause This One's For You oh

This One's For You wherever you are,
to say that nothings been the same
since we've been apart.
This one's for all the love we once knew
Like everything else I have
This One's For You, oh.

My Phone Is SickKena cancer.. now in surgery. Lucky my phone still got medisave.

The worst part is, I don't have a spare phone. Fishing out my phone every time after finding a seat has become a habit. And now when I can't find my phone in my pocket, I always think i've lost it. Then i remember its at the phone hospital. Haiz..

My phone is going to be discharged tomorrow, plus, I got a 1gb card waiting for it when it gets back. So, yay!

Saturday Night Rain is Fallin...

It has been a hell of a week. A fun week I must say. And there's still one more day to go - Father's Day. So to all fathers reading this, legal or premarital, Happy Fathers Day! Haha.

I've watched Shrek 3 and Pirates of the Caribbean this week. That means there's still Fantastic 4, Transformers and The Simpsons Movie left to watch as this year's most anticipated movies.

Shrek 3 was a great end to the Shrek series. Most people would say that it's a parody of fairytales, but I say its a Tribute to all the fairytales that we've all grown up with. The star studded cast made the whole film satisfying. The only let down was that the humor in the script right from the pre-movie messages till the credits were mostly 'slapstick humor' but it did made the kids in the cinema breathless because of their laughter. Great show for kids.

Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End on the other hand had an amazing storyboard and it had smart jokes. But you need to listen to the dialogue and the 'pirate slang' to understand the story and all the confusing happenings to the characters. It was kind of like watching The Matrix but way before the future. And if you haven't watched it yet, be sure to stay till AFTER the credits cus there's ONE MORE SCENE to watch that completes the whole trilogy. I'm not gonna tell you what it is, you have to see it for yourself. But it is worth watching as it answers the questions at the back of your mind after the movie has ended.

I went to Arab Street today cus the family has decided to make-to-measure our baju kurungs for Hari Raya this year. Yes I know, it's only June..haven't even puasa.. but making baju kurungs especially six specially made pairs very leceh. So we went to choose the frabic today.. and sending it to the tailors next week. This year, we're going for EARTH colours.. and we went thru all the different shades of brown to cream. So many colours.. so confusing. I'm fickle minded when it comes to shopping so I took like an hour just to decide between 3 colours. Haha.

I'm quite happy right now as finally the time I spend studying and tuitioning is finally balanced with the time I spend with my family. But I do miss my friends. Haven't met any of my classmates for such a long time. Asyraf, Axel, Jasper.. where are you? Haha. And Nadhari, Botak, Hairin, Rizal, Alif.. bila mau lepak lagi? Hahaha. Mentioning Nad's name makes me think of motorcycles as Nadhari is really a bike freak who has made me a Bike Lover. And talking about bikes, I've seen ALOT of expensive bikes this week.. Ducati.. Yamaha R1s.. Yamaha YZF.. Suzuki GSX.. Aprillas.. Harleys.. suddenly they appear everywhere I go.. Like calling my name "Zul..Ride me..". Whoa ho..

Oh, there's something I need to write about this week. Before I forget. Check out Apple's website and you will find the Keynote presentation at this year's WWDC 07 where he presented 10 of the 300 features of the new OS X - Leapord. I am really psyched when I saw the keynote. Watch this whole video on Leapord's core animation technology. Prepare to be amazed.

Leapord is amazing. Leapord revolutionizes the way people use computers. And throughout the keynote, they kept making fun of Windows Vista, that stupid operating system.

To those of you who are thinking of upgrading to Vista, let me tell you why you should not.

Microsoft's new Windows Vista operating system is a giant step backward for your freedoms.

Usually, new software enables you to do more with your computer. Vista, though, is designed to restrict what you can do.
Vista enforces new forms of “Digital Rights Management (DRM)”. DRM is more accurately called Digital Restrictions Management, because it is a technology that Big Media and computer companies try to impose on us all, in order to have control over how our computers are used.

That means you are paying for something to decide what you do on your computer!

Support our Freedom to use computers! Visit: Bad Vista.fsf.org (click here )

So Switch to Macs. =) Vista - Bad. Mac OS X Leapord - Great. What's more, if you are a student you get a free iPod nano with each Mac you buy. And if you need to run a windows application but you have a mac, the geniuses at Apple have come up with Boot Camp, an app that allows you to run Windows XP or even Vista on your Mac. So what are you waiting for? Visit http://www.apple.com/ now! =))

Good Night Singapore.

Happy Father's Day.

I just don't understand
Why you're running from a good man
Why you wanna turn your back on love?
Why you've already given up
See I know you've been hurt before
But I swear I'll give you so much more
I swear I'll never let you down
Cause I swear it's you that I adore
And I can't help myself babe
Cause I think about you constantly
and my heart gets no rest over you

You can call me selfish
But all I want is your love
You can call me hopeless (hopeless)
Cause I'm hopelessly in love
You can call me unperfect
But who's perfect?
Tell me what do I gotta do
To prove that I'm the only one for you
What's wrong with being selfish?

P/S: Which is worst..? Saying something you wish you didn't.. Or saying nothing and wishing you had?

Ocean's Thirteen

2007-06-10T22:05:00.000+08:00

(Tears welled up in Danny's eyes)
Rusty Ryan: Are you alright?
Danny Ocean: Yeh, um, I just bit into a red pepper.
Rusty Ryan: Is that... are you... are you watching Oprah?

Ocean's Thirteen - This sleek farewell tour finds Danny Ocean and his gang of con men returning back to the bright lights of Vegas where the series began. This time, their up for revenge on hotelier Willie Bank (Al Pacino) who crossed their good fried Reuben and caused him to get a heart attack. It's personal as they sabotage the Grand Opening of Willie Bank's new hotel. Not much action or laughs compared to the first two films but if you're a Danny Ocean fan, you have to watch it.
4/5 stars. =)

Good Night Singapore!
Enjoy the week ahead.

P/S: I don't want another pretty face. I don't want just anyone to hold.
I don't want my love to go to waste.
I want you and your beautiful soul
=) (u.. dengar today's 6 to 11..)

Happy Birthday Luzman

2007-06-09T22:58:00.000+08:00

It's Saturday! And it's the day my little brother has been reminding everyone about for the past 3 weeks. His 8th Birthday! He'd been asking for a Nintendo DS cus his gameboyadvance is spoilt and initially my parents didn't want to get it for him, but since his game boy is really gone case, we went to Seow Choon Games Specialist at 12 am today to get a Nintendo DS Lite

Pretty huh. And it came with Pokemon Diamond. Interesting to see how Pokemon has changed over the years since *I* played it back then at primary school. It's now in 3D and you can go online cus DS has Wi-Fi and you could fight with people from all over the world. Yes, frickin Wi-Fi! Back then we used cables! Anyways, have'nt got the chance to play it yet cus you have to let the DS charge for 8 hours during its first charge. And since we charged it at 4 pm, that means it can only be played after midnight tonight....when my little bro's already asleep. Heh heh heh...

And my bro has this habit of bugging me everytime he can't find something in his Pokemon game, thinking that I have memorised where every single item is in the game, and for the benefit of both of us, I bought him the Official Nintendo Pokemon Diamond GUIDE BOOK as his present. Well worth my $30... Say Hello to peaceful nights.

Ever heard of the iPoDS (iPod - DS)?

I went to Bukit Merah Library with Fik and Sher after my Maths Intensive Programme yesterday. While I was trying to do my research on my folio, the duo went around the whole library surveying for chicks. They met this sweet poly babe who was kind enough to give them her number. But after that they saw this hot netballer who was sittin down beside the chinese section with her group of friends. So they hatched lots of plans to get her number. Desperate times calls for desperate measures and that meant asking little children to approach that girl. Fik asked me to go up to her who's sittin around her group of friends and tell her that he wants her number. Lazy lah.. you want it you go get it lah. Haha. In the end they left without getting her number. Kesian de lo!

It's gonna be midnight soon, time to switch on the DS! Whoo hoo.. Haha.. evil.
Good Night Singapore!

P/S: U.. You take my breath away. =)

2007-06-07T00:04:00.001+08:00

Well here is the outlook for the rest of the holidays

Morning - 8am to 12 30pm: Remedial Classes (in school)
Afternoon - 1 to 3pm: Maths Intensive Program (in school computer lab)
Evening - 5pm: Group Tuition (nearby)
Night - 7-10pm Maths Private Tuition (far far away)

It's Maths every single day - till the O levels

My friends, save me from this insanity.. I am starting to lose it. And to those people who only bring negative energy into my life, I don't need you. My friends and loved ones who really energise me, this is the time I need you to make sure I don't lose myself.

Drained out.

God give me strength.

I need time. Time to send my phone for servicing. Time to make a timetable to allocate my time.
I need to control MY time. Only then will I enjoy all these things I'm doing for my exams.

Wish me luck. =)
Good Night Singapore.

p/s: you can call me selfish but all I want is your love (:

Saturday, June 2nd

2007-06-03T02:07:00.000+08:00

(Writing this at 1.18 am.. still considered 2 June)

What a day!

Went to Vivocity with the loveliest gurl and the craziest group of frens to support our fellow school mates at their WOK of LIFE Cultural Cooking Competition. Junaidi's group made Satay Popiahs which are satisfying if you have an empty stomach.. Steffi & Lily's group made Satay Burgers (multi-racial means Satay mah...) which were also nice.. But Eleena's group was the one that made the awesome Roti John which was umm, power ranger lah!

Guess who won...
You think I won? No lah.. I tangkap glamour only..

The Real Champions:

Whoo Hoo! That's Eleena's group! And they won $5000! Congratulations to all of you! =) Makes me proud to be Queenstownian.

More pics:

Waiting for results

Nad, Mrs. Nad and me.

Ok, after that I went to a relative's gathering at woodlands. It's a malay tradition to have a ceremony after a young boy has been circumsised. Wahaha.

My aunty at woodlands makes the best teh tarik in Singapore. Belum cuba belum tahu.

And the clinic which my little cousin went to get circumsised gave him this:

Wth. Hahaha. A certificate of Bravery. Hehe.. cheap marketing..

That's it from me then. Oh, going to watch Spongebob The Musical with the whole family tomorrow. Woohoo!

Well, it's 1.50 am now.. Suz's gotta go to sleep.

So Good Night Singapore.!

P/S: Don't worry..you looked gorgeous today. =)

Got a bike!
Woohoo. Fareezal borrowed me his other bike for the june holidays for me to explore singapore on 2 wheels. And today I went through his Road Confidence Course where we cycled on different types of singapore roads and learned how to deal with rude singapore drivers. Knn, kena horn by bus driver 3 times, summore need to go up that bleddy slope at Queens Close, like go up Mt Ophir you know. Useless lah the bike gears.

Now that is Fareezal's brand new $600 bike. It looks awesome, it feels incredible. I want one. I wish I find SIX hundred dollar notes on the floor tomorrow. Haha.

Gonna get my borrowed bike modded tomorrow, gonna change the seat, buy skating helmet, put on the handlebar mirrors, and hopefully repaint it. Woohoo. And it's not even MY bike! Haha.

I'm so looking forward to Saturday. We're gonna cycle all the way to Clementi in the morning, then I'm gonna go to VIVO in the afternoon to support Junaidi, Steffi at their cooking competition which's grand prize is $5000! Good luck guys!

Good Night Singapore!

It's A Whole New Look. A Whole New Experience.
Yes, This Really Is Zul's Official Blog.

I was sketching out designs for a new blog template yesterday, and once I found something with a classic-vintage racer look, I was like, Let's make this. So after laying out the concept and the background, I went into Dreamweaver to create my FIRST blogskin. 2 hours in production, I was already banging my head on the table. Everything just didn't seem to work properly. So I went online in hope of finding someone who speaks HTML and it was like a gift from the heavens. I would like to thank Rena for the intricate CSS coding, Hamka for introducing me to her, and my computer for not crashing while I was working on the skin.

HAPPY VESAK DAY to all who celebrate it =)

Malay O Levels!

I wonder why the question booklet was printed on yellow paper

Mindmaps, not scribblings

Looks like chicken feet right.. You won't know unless you've actually been in the hall getting ready to paste your O level barcode on the answer booklet. Yes, Barcode. Scary gek.. I enjoyed doing my paper one which I chose the argumentative question and the formal letter. During the half hour break, the stall 2 aunty pissed me off again cus she overcharged, again.. so my mind was not clear when I came back for Paper Two. Which's Close Passage was.. ARGHH!
Nvm, breathe, it's over now. Let's all hope for the best.

Went back home and had my beauty sleep. (=

Quiet day today

Oh! Checked out the ducati website today and saw the Ducati Hypermotard. Is it new?

It looks like a freakin scrambler, but at least it's got a hawt exhaust and this:

Whoa. The Desmosedici GP-styled digital instrumentation which provides an extensive amount of data including: speedometer, rev counter, clock, maintenance schedule, oil temperature, oil pressure warning light, battery voltage, fuel reserve warning light, reserve fuel trip, indicator light, neutral light, injection system diagnostics, lap time memory storage, automatic light-off function after 60 seconds with key on and immobiliser status. In addition, it can list lap times recorded by using the high-beam flash button as a stopwatch.

The body reminds me of a RX-Z. Hahahaha. Joking lah.

P/S:
Di sini ku menunggu ilham yang tak muncul tiba
Bilakah masanya kau kan hadir padaku...?
Di sini ku menunggu bilakah kau akan menjelma
Nada irama merdu kan menyusuk kalbuku

Siang ku tunggu. Malam ku rindu
Kau dan aku, saling memerlukan satu pengertian
Satu percintaan
Ilham cinta kita

It's the Malay O Levels next week.
I've gotten back my dreaded report book, and it's time for June ~~Holidays~~! Where got time for holiday?? Everyday come back school for class, intensive maths programmes, intensive DNT folio completion, NCC make-up sessions, and tuition. I say that like it's a bad thing. It's not! I'm happy that we are given the oppurtunity to hardcore-prepare for our O levels. Yay to stress!

Since, I'm going to be busy with my preparation for the big month, this blog will not be on my top priority list. =( Clap hand lah! Mdm Nur Laila said that I must sacrifice something in order to achieve something. Congratulations to me! I gotta cut down on the computer, so this blog will be toned down abit, and now it will be a platform for me to pen down my experiences going thru my preparations..when I have the time. Hehehe.

Gotta hibernate!

Good Night Singapore =)

P/S: U..!
I miss you. I miss your smile.
And I still shed a tear every once every while
And even though it's different now, you're still here somehow..
My heart won't let you go, and I need you to know..
I miss you..

2007-05-24T23:34:00.000+08:00

It's the time in my life again, when I dream about where I'm heading next...

Ngee Ann Poly's application for DirectPolyAdmissions to Film Media Studies is going to start soon!

I have been waiting so long for this oppurtunity. The oppurtunity to audition to get into my dream school!

"The DPA focuses on admitting students who have aptitude and interest in a particular area of applied learning in the polytechnics, and have demonstrated their talents and interests. The JPSAE considers students with outstanding talents and achievements in areas beyond applied learning, such as in leadership, community service and sports. Each polytechnic is allowed to admit up to 2.5% and 5% of its annual intake through the DPA and JPSAE respectively."
Whoo hooo!

Need to prepare my four-year portfolio, my resume, testimonials, cca make-up sessions, reccommendations and everything else I need to qualify. I'm nervous about the whole thing cus I have been waiting for it for 2 years and when the time comes to start working towards it, my hands tremble when I think about it. I'm gonna pray and work hard and Insyallah, the DPA will work out.

Oh, and the amazing Jordin Sparks won this season's American Idol which's Grand Finale line-up was the most impressive and entertaining I've seen throughout the 6 seasons. And this is the first time I'm looking forward to hear all three of the finalist's albums. I hope Jordin doesn't turn out to sound Beyonce-ish and I do hope Blake's album doesn't sound like a copy of Justin Timberlake. Although Jordin has completed her Idol Journey, this is only the beginning of her career and as a seventeen year old, she has ALOT more to learn.

Wish me luck for my DPA and my meet the parents session tmrw yeah.

Good Night Singapore =)

P/S: In this crazy life, and in this crazy times, its you, its YOU. Your'e every breath, you're every word, your'e my everything...

Give me Anything!

Wahahaha!!! This is an absolutely crazy product! I am on MC today, but came to school for Malay Olevel Remedial and Ted introduce this outrageous drink to me. This is so crazy! I was like, "Chap...what you want to drink?" Achap: "Anything ah." Haha! Then we went to 7 Eleven and asked the aunty for anything. Asyraf wanted whatever. My anything tastes like apple and chap's whatever was chrysanthemum tea. Now THIS is really the PERFECT product for the fickle minded. Like me. Wahaha! Everybody knows I didn't go to school today. How come ah? And I came to school at 1pm, after coming back from Queenstown Polyclinic.

Axel: How come you come to school? I thought you sore eyes?
Me: I late ah, Singh stop me then I say "paiseh ah singh, wake up late ah"
Axel: Then you never kena late slip ah?
Me: No lah, Singh scared of me ah

Me: Eh Axel! Do me a favour.. I give you ANYTHING.
Axel: Anything?!
Me: Anything....

Be warned. Wahahaha.

It is the start of the week and I am down with CONJUNCTIVITIS. Don't know what that means? It means I got SORE EYES! ARGH!! It happened when I woke up yesterday morning and my right eye was inflammated, and today, both eyes were red. And you know how sore eyes are contagious right. It was Syaaban who got it first, then Rizal. Now ME! Baik ah! Must wear my Najip Ali specs to school. =) Hahaha. Was talking to people with one hand covering my eyes today, and when I took out my hand, they asked, "Why are you crying?" When I said I got sore eyes, all looked away.

GUEST PERFORMANCE @ CHINESE KARAOKE COMPETITION 07: Behind The Scenes

The Mother Tongue department invited me to be a Guest Singer at today's Quest Annual Chinese Karaoke Competition which I got third place in last year. This year, they wanted me to perform something in Malay, and when I heard that I panicked cus I don't have Malay karaoke VCDs at home. Unless you want me to sing Broery Marantika, S.M. Salim or Siti Nurhaliza lah. Bet you don't even know who those Broery or SM Salim is. I went to Queensway Shopping Centre yesterday to do a last minute purchase of a karaoke cd or at least something with minus one. And I swear I took about 45 minutes just staring at 4 karaoke VCDs trying to decide which to buy. In the end, I settled for Imran Ajmain's SUDAH TU SUDAH which had a minus one track inside. When I reached home, things were starting to get crazy as the outfit, script and all the stuff I had to prepare just hasn't been prepared yet. And when I played the minus one track that I just bought, I was like, Shit, I can't sing this.

For those of you who have heard me sing, would say that my voice is bass and jazzy. And you KNOW that I can't do high-tone pop songs like Imran or Justin Timberlake for that matter. And so I searched high and low for karaoke cds in my house. Low and behold I found the ANUGERAH 2007 Karaoke CD which had Syed Azmir's "APA", a up tempo song which I liked and I knew was boring for me to perform, but I had no other choice.

For today's Chinese Karoke Competition, my job was to entertain the crowd during the calculation of results and also to sing something NOT in English. So I had a song prepared (to sing in acapella) in Malay, Chinese, Spanish and even Hindi. To tell you the truth, I was disappointed that my voice did not carry Syed Azmir's song and I'm sorry Syed Azmir, for ruining your song. Hehe. But I ENJOYED entertaining the crowd today and it showed me that 3 years of emceeing experience in Queenstown finally paid off. I'm not saying I don't get stage fright anymore, my heart still pumps wildly before I go on stage, but I've learnt how to handle the crowd, how to keep my cool and I'm glad I got to share my knowledge with the contestants back stage to calm them down before their turn. Oh, I wanna take my hat off to Ruey Jing who bravely got off the stage and walked around the entire hall, shaking everyone's hand and after that dropping down to the floor of the stage just like a rock star. Woohoo! Kaysiao ah that girl. That's what we need to see more of in Queenstown. Confidence, Attitude.

OK. That wraps up the chinese karaoke competition today. Doctor says I can't stare at the computer too long or it'll make my eyes worst. Hmm...should I stay at home to repair my eyes tomorrow, or should I go to school and spread the sore eyes to everyone in my class... Malay O levels is next monday... so lets see how it goes tomorrow morning aite.

That's it from me today,

GOOD NIGHT SINGAPORE!

Enjoy the rest of the week!

2007-05-14T01:38:00.001+08:00

I'm writing this post at one a.m in the morning because I was cleaning up my bookshelf when I found my old Prefect's Notebook. The notebook looked like the one police officers use which flips up and has a rubber band at the bottom. I opened the book and saw the columns.. Name.. Class.. Offence. This notebooks were compulsory for all prefects when Mrs Anthony was the Prefect's Mistress at that time. Back during the days when Queenstown's standard of discipline was commendable and the prefects were respected. Looking at that notebook reminds me of how police officers would patrol blocks and screen minors who hung around the neighbourhood. It also reminded me of my sec 1 days when I would stand at a canteen stall and book anyone who cut queue or disobey the prefects.

Nowadays nobody gives a shit about the prefect.

I am not writing this post today to condemn the school's prefectorial board.. but to ask the board to do something about the rise in discipline issues in the school. I am someone who likes to see changes for the better and who likes to make a difference. And I do have a masterplan to boost the prefectorial board's image and improve the school's discipline. But when I get caught up in making a difference in the school, the work usually takes over me and I definitely would not have the time to do other stuff like study for my O's or hanging out with my friends. Take for example, when I proposed and conceptualised Queenstown's very own radio station - Qbox Radio, I became a workaholic and even abandoned my social life cus I had to always work on the project. Besides, why should I help the prefectorial board? I left because I was stabbed in the back in the first place. The school's discipline is in a mess. The principal is considering drastic measures like forcing short pants for upper sec boys. The prefects are doing nothing.

I am really sad to see the board in it's current state where they only TALK but no ACTION is done. I may not have any right to talk about the board because I am not part of it anymore (thank god) but the reason why I signed up to become a prefect in the first place was because of how I was so impressed by the prefects when I was in Sec 1. They showed me how a secondary school was supposed to be run - Teachers and Students working together to create a sense of belonging in the school. And I WAS proud to be a prefect back in the days where Mrs Anthony headed the board..now I'm happy to not have anything to do with them. The reason why I'm being so patriotic to my school right now is because it is my final year and I feel that your secondary school life is supposed to be the best part of your lives but instead I now tell myself that life will get better after secondary school. When I was in Sec 1 I was damn sure that Queenstown would be the best place for me to be in, because of how the prefects, student leaders and awesome teachers work together to make the school a better place, but now I come to school really just to listen to the teacher in class, do my work to get good grades and see my friends. No sense of belonging..no school spirit. To make Mr Lau change his mind about all those nasty plans he has to improve the standard of discipline, the prefects have to be enthusiastic about changing the school for the better. They should start booking people like in the old days and act like police officers screening people.. Catch this student fighting, stop the fight, ask them to produce their EZ Link card, Write down their particulars, Report to discipline department. Come on lah, I wanna see some change for the better before I leave the school.. Even if your prefect mistress slack, I'm sure some of you got the guts and the brains to do something right.

Something for you to ponder..

Good Night Singapore.

Get well soon Suz.. (:

Mid Year Blues

2007-05-10T22:34:00.001+08:00

Things have been rocky the past few days.. and my mind's in a headspin. But I thank god for introducing me to someone that makes everything seem right to me and also I thank god cause my major papers for the Mid-Years are over. Just talked to Rahman Jas on MSN and he told me he didn't get into his dream "Film Sound & Video" course even though he got 13 for his O's. That made me realise that I really really have to buck up on my studies now.

Today is Eka's birthday!

Happy 22nd birthday Eka! May you be blessed with happiness and health throughout your life. =)

Oh! I got my order form for my class photos! Check it out!

The most happening 4 express class

The three ~~blind mice~~. I'm doing the rock sign by the way, not pointing the finger. Eh wait, where's Axel?

There he is! Axel's favourite quote: "Buat klakar kepe..?"

And so.. I ordered 8R prints for all of them. One I hang in my room, one at the front door, one in the toilet. Hahaha.

Tomorrow is my Bio and Accounts MCQ. Weird thing is Im feeling more stressed as the Mid Years are going to finish. I guess that's because after the Mid Years I only have 5 months till my O's! O my gawd! Play time is over everybody. Time to get serious. And I am serious about getting serious of all the things that I need to be serious about. Seriously.

And Michael Buble got me hooked to his new hit which should be playing in the background right now.. it's called Everything and I love it cus it's the first time I heard Buble not singing Sinatra.

Everything - Michael Buble

You're a falling star, You're the get away car.

You're the line in the sand when I go too far.

You're the swimming pool, on an August day.

And you're the perfect thing to say.

And you play you're coy, but it's kinda cute.

Ah, When you smile at me you know exactly what you do.

Baby don't pretend, that you don't know it's true.

Cause you can see it when I look at you.

[Chorus]

And in this crazy life, and through these crazy times

It's you, it's you, You make me sing.

You're every line, you're every word, you're everything.

________________________________________________

Well that wraps up my blogpost for today. And TGIF! - Thank God It's Friday

Wait, S.H.I.T. - Sorry hunny its STILL thursday!

Good Night Singapore

P/S: U.! You make me sing...You're every line, you're every word, you're my everything... =)

2007-05-07T19:14:00.001+08:00

Early in the morning already got problem...

The car refused to start. For some reason, the car battery chose to faint on this day. Luckily my father got his members to come down and jumpstart the battery. I reached school at 7.10 but the car battery still got problem so I didn't get to listen to the Morning Express on Class 95 today. Aiyah.

I thought that was sure to be the start of a bad day but things somehow changed when i received a good morning message when i reached school (: That really brought up my mood for the day. After that I met the most gerek people in school first thing in the morning - Rizal, Hafiz Botak, Syaban, Nad, Hanif. Early in the morning already make me laugh.

Hafiz Botak: Zul! You what paper today?

Me: POA and English. Stress ah.

Hafiz Botak: Mid year only you stress.. Haven't O level.. Haven't yet Diploma.. Degree.. Masters..

Today is a monday which means it is a Tie Day. From experience of being in Queenstown for 4 years, I know that it is always a good idea to always keep your school tie in your bag. Shakinah forgot to do that today and I saw her stand during morning assembly for the first time. Kesian dia. Before, during and after the morning assembly, CARKEH (name is changed so the person can't sue me) kept bitching about me to Mrs Gan, and the people around her. I wonder who pissed in her cornflakes this morning. Come on lah, I know you don't like me I also don't like you so just leave me alone lah. Please.

I took the most stressful, scary paper ever today. POA. Looks like what I've studied throughout the weekend came to no use in the exam hall cus the question paper really looked alien to me. The question was like making us guess what they wanted us to prepare. I still remember being stuck at Question number ONE: "Calculate the total Sales and Purchases in the year." I started to draw a Trading A/c first but after half an hour I realised. Alamak! It's Sales Ledger and Purchases Ledger A/c Lah! Knn!! ARGGHHH!!!

(sound effect) NNOOOO!!! Thats what I silently screamed when the invigilator announced to put our pens down. The paper made me realise that all the concepts I know about POA are all jumbled up and I really need to work hard towards the O levels to put all the pieces of the puzzle together. Don't worry Mdm Yani!

After school was supposed to study with Suzie but she went home already and I was still suffering from Post-Exam-Shock after the paper so I decided to de- stress and went to redhill mrt with Achap to get a cup of Honeydew Milk Tea. (Ohmmmmmm...) Stress gone!

Went back at 3 today after flipping thru Geography notes at school.

It's nice to be home. Gtg study for Geography tomorrow or else have to wash Ms Chee's car again. Wahaha.

Good night Singapore and may all of you have a splendid week!

2007-05-05T23:07:00.000+08:00

It's Saturday! Went to Berita Harian's Hari Ibu (mother's day) celebrations at Swissotel, Raffles City Ballroom. It's like a yearly thing and Berita Harian always tries to come up with something new each year. This year's special guests were Imran Ajmain, Salmiah Hassan (veteran singer), Umie Aida (malaysian actress) and Gunawan from the hit indon tv series, Hikmah. And the host for the day, Khairudin Saharom, the Suria Segar tv host who is actually a cool guy but somehow failed to deliver at today's Mother's Day high tea. Luckily Ariff Samsudin was there to brighten up the show. The food this year is noticeably better than any of the previous years I've been too. They actually served satay and kurma for the first time. Interesting. Too bad I only remembered to take out my phone to snap some pictures till at the end of the show.

A whole army of makciks eagerly waiting to get their photos taken with Gunawan at centre stage. And can you spot Imran Ajmain? He's signing autographs for a small group of fans infront of the stage. Makciks rather support indon B list celebrities than our own local talent. But actually correct lah, the event featured Gunawan as the star of the show what... After the show.. I walked out of the ballroom with my mum and i met people who wanted to take pictures with her. Wah. My mum got fans you know! Every 20 meters, people would notice that my mum is the one who they always see on the saturday Extra! page byline and ask to take a picture with her. Wahaha.

Happy (early) Mothers Day to my mum, and all Mothers out there.

Good Night Singapore.

Get well soon, Suz. (:

2007-05-04T22:06:00.001+08:00

It's Friday. You can call this the Post of the Week.

I have made alot of choices which i have regretted lately. Simple choices that have huge consequences. But I am thankful that after reflecting on the choices I've made, I've learnt how to deal with similar situations in the future. No point crying over spilled milk right. I have learnt a painful lesson on how to choose your friends wisely. And I apologise to my real friends whom I have neglected.

Well, today was the second day of the Mid Year Exams. I enjoyed doing my Malay paper 1 today. But I think Ms Chee would want to strangle me once she sees how I've done my SS. Sorry lah babe.. I wash your bmw for u k?

I remembered going thru the 8 days guide to the movies of the year and I have specially picked out Borat, Spider-Man 3, Fantastic Four, Oceans 13 and Pirates 3 as my must watch movies of the year.

My mum got free media tix to Spider-Man 3 so the whole family (except the baby) got to watch it at Cathay last tuesday! (Labour Day). It was the first time I walked into the cinema with more than 3 snacks on my hand. It was almost like a picnic. We smuggled in burgers.. fries.. nachos.. pop corn.. even hot cappuccino!

For those who have watched Spidey 1 & 2 and have not yet watched Spider-Man 3, I suggest you go over to the cinema right now before the film gets scratched and the picture won't be so nice anymore.

Spider-Man 3 is definitely a must watch for all spider-man (yes it is spelled with a hyphen) fans out there. It's got lots of spectacular action sequences and it answers all your questions to end the trilogy smoothly. On the whole, Spider-Man 3 was a very satisfying movie. Although it wasn't as great as the other 2 movies, it wraps up the trilogy nicely, and I was very impressed by how the script managed to balance so many different characters. And this could very well be Tobey Maguire's last performance in the Spider-Man series even if they decide to make a Spider-Man 4.And I don't mind watching it again cus I went to the gents during one of the fight scenes.. --4.5 out of 5 stars

Spider-Man 3 is now showing at all cinemas

2007-04-30T23:57:00.001+08:00

This is Rafael. Rafael does very interesting things. Everytime he wants to leave the school to go home, he will stop by a drain, take out all his coins from his pockets and dump it in.

Me:WHY YOU THROWING AWAY YOUR MONEY???
Rafael: I don't like coins
Me:Then give me your coins lah! I want to buy water.
Rafael: Take lah.

Yay. I got $1 extra today. Hahaha. A quick check into the drain, there's about $4 worth of coins there. But I'm not too desperate to go and pick em up. Rafael too rich already lah. But if too rich also go donate or something lah... don't give it to the rats to choke on.

Haiyooo

Well. Today was really a boring day. Finished classes at 4 and I was shocked to see the canteen DESERTED. EMPTY. I can hear my echoes. WHERE'S EVERYONE?? Holy shit. Went back to the classroom to play with the drumsticks Chap brought and finish up POA.

I need help in Bank Recon.. anyone? Then decided to do my work in the canteen all the way till 6.30pm. Alone. Wow. Talking bout drumsticks...reminds me to remind you that DRUMLINE is showing tomorrow (labour day) at 12.30pm on CH5.

The pics on Suane's party using Jasper's phone no good laaa.
This the only one I have so far that is worthy of putting up.
Suane! Pass me the pics yea.

Fun gek...

Going to watch Spiderman 3 with my family tomorrow at Cathay! Whoo hoo.

Ok this is it for me today. Got about 8 more minutes till it's May Day.

Good Night Singapore! And Happy Labour Day to all who are working!

2007-04-28T23:33:00.001+08:00

Here's a Maths Problem for you

I had Maths class at 8.30 am so I set my phone alarm to ring at 7.35 am today. My snooze time-out (time that the phone will ring again after I press Snooze) is 3 minutes. I kept pressing the snooze button till I finally woke up. If I woke up at 8.15 am, how many times did I press the Snooze button this morning?

After the kick ass show last night, I really wished I cud sleep till 1pm today but I didn't want to switch off my alarm cus I'm done with skipping Mdm Nur Laila's class. Forever. Because by experience, The extreme consequences are far too great and too painful. So that was the start of a pretty relaxing saturday.

Today was Suane's 18th Birthday party at Anchorage! Reached Anchorpoint to meet up with Chap and Mus and got to try that new KFC Meltz Meal. Nothing Special about it. I prefer my BBQ Turkey Bacon Double (: And you know, I thought I was late for the party, turned out I was frickin early. Even had to set up the barbeque pit when the birthday girl was out buying drinks. Oh before that, Jasper, Chap, Mus and I got this HUGE birthday card for Suane. It said at the front "THIS IS GOING TO BE YOUR LAST BIRTHDAY PARTY" and inside, "for this year". The party really got happening at 5.30pm, 2 hours after I've arrived. That's when everybody finally came and the girls decided to throw Joy into the pool. Joy managed to get away but then she rather jump in herself than to have 20 screaming girls chase her and drag her down. Oh! Suane's birthday cake was delicious, paiseh guys I don't have pics but will upload them as soon as Jasper gets over his hangover and passes em to me.

And about yesterday's dilemma. I finally decided to not see my sweet Olivia and instead, support my friends at TeaterTariEra at Victoria Theatre. Arguably the most entertaining professional Malay dance group in Singapore, Teater Tari Era gave a heart-pumping, exhilarating and moving performance at last night's Kacip Mas, Dulang Permata. The show combines the Old and the New and last night Era highlighted some of their senior dancers who left the group and also their two up and coming choreographers, Zairin and Maya. Even Jansher who finally agreed to go with me appreciated the spectacular choregraphy. But Jansher being Jansher, he did sleep during one of the slow parts after the Intermission. Haha. Kesian lah, member satu hari skola siot..kasi chance ah.. Hahaha. Kecohrable. But the nice thing is we got to catch up on lost times cus he has been quite mysterious and always MIA lately. Now I know why... Hmmmm.... Oh I did socialise abit after the show and I met the my member2 lama.. Syamil.. Dinie (skrg dah NS..wahaha) Afiq.. (dah tak kerja starbucks lagi) and Iqah. Best lah jumpa korang. Brings back all my kenangan manis.

It's been two eventful days for me and I'm still in the mood for more. (: But before I start to go on a caffeine spree, I think I shud well be going to bed now.

Oh yeah, I will post the pics as soon as I get em. (:

Again, HAPPY 18th BIRTHDAY PINOY! KEEP BELIEVIN' IN DREAMS!

And, Good Night SIngapore!

2007-04-27T17:23:00.001+08:00

So here's the situation.

There are 2 shows happening tonight. Olivia Newton John is singin at the Indoor Stadium, and... Teater Tari Era is having a big show at Victoria Theatre.

Both shows at 8pm. 2 tickets for Olivia. 2 tickets for Teater Tari Era.

I was originally supposed to go to Olivia. But my dad who was supposed to go to Teater Tari Era wanted to go to Olivia and I'm okay with him going to Olivia cus I don't mind going to TeaterTariEra but if I wanna go to Olivia and my dad wants to go Olivia but he doesn't mind me going to Olivia but I want him to go to TeaterTariEra so I can go to Olivia which isn't at the Victoria, its at the Indoor which I prefer but I don't mind going to Victoria cus TeaterTariEra rocks but Olivia rocks too but I don't know which to go issit Olivia or Victoria cus im stuck in a situation which I have to wait and see whether i'm going to Olivia or Victoria to watch Era but Olivia is cool too so yeah.

I'm not making any sense.

Wanna know which one I will go? Come back later to find out. But there is a possibility where I decide not to stress myself and just stay at home.

In other news, I have really had enough of Physics. Not because Physics is a boring subject but seriously folks I have never met another boring, obnoxious, irritating, lame physics teacher than the one I have now. Being in that teacher's class really turns me off. Even though the teacher never kacau me. But I know I have to tahan cus at the end of the year, the teacher will be writing my testimonial for me. I have never seen so much ego and merepekness in a teacher. The teacher brings alot of negative energy into the class and that almost ruined my entire day. Thank god it's Friday. But Congratulations! You have made it to number one on my most Unfavourite people list.

I'm glad I got that off my chest

Tomorrow is SUANE'S BIRTHDAY! Happy early 18th Birthday Pinoy!

Olivia/Era Olivia/Era Olivia/Era Olivia/Era Olivia/Era Olivia/Era Olivia/Era Olivia/Era Olivia/Era Olivia/Era

Aiyah! Stay at home study lah! Wahaha. Macam paham.

2007-04-25T21:40:00.001+08:00

Everything seems so clear now. It's all falling into place. It's as if I've pressed the "Restart" button in my mind. I have no stories to tell today. But i just had to let the world know how I feel so much more alive.

Want to know how I did it? ...It's a secret. A secret that I'm gonna let you in.

It's the Law of Attraction.

A proper understanding of that concept, plus self-meditation, plus Milo, has helped me regained my energy.

What most people don't understand is that each Thought in your mind has a frequency. Your thoughts can be measured. And your thoughts attract things.

And what most people don't understand when they see me in school is that.... I don't have enough sleep.

So I'm going to bed now! Whoohoo. And it's only 9.30pm!!

Feel free to approach me if you really want to know more about this "Secret", this ... Law of Attraction.

But for now, Good Night Singapore.

So... the elephant says to the camel "why do you
have 2 boobs on your back?" the camel replies "that's a pretty stupid
question coming from someone who has a dick on his face"

2007-04-24T22:27:00.001+08:00

The Mid Year Exams are a freakin Waste Of Time!

My stress level is up to here (points to tip of hair) and I've run out of Panadol! Suddenly datelines for EVERYTHING is approaching (or already due) and teachers are pulling me like tug of war to spend time on their subjects. Holy Sh*t! Tomorrow is my Malay Oral Exam! Next week is my English Oral and Mid Years! I owe POA revision worksheets! I'm way behind schedule for DNT! I've got source based questions to finish! I lost my calculator!

I need a miracle. (or a panadol)

What I don't understand is despite our heavy study schedule and project datelines, why is the school stressing us out with the Mid Year Exams? Mid Years take up like 3 weeks of precious study time and for what? To wake us up? To see whether we're prepared. Come on lah, we have the Prelims for that.

I have adopted a new masterplan for my O levels. I need to pump in extra extra effort for English, Maths, POA and DNT. Science? Drop ah! Haha. If I could, I would, because the Poly courses I want don't need science and I get turned off by the obnoxious (nothing personal yeah) science teachers. So, Science can relek one corner. Too many subjects, too little time. I'm counting on my motto towards success, "Niat, Usaha, Tawakal"  (Intention, Effort, and trust that God will do His best).

The best thing to do when I'm stressed is.. sleep!

(And hope I wake up)

Yit seng msged me this to me today on MSN:

[ YS ] "Stand Tall, Stay Humble" - Train Hard, Fight Easy. Pass on the Legacy of QUEST NCC! said:

Tomorrow is national I Luv U day  If u get this that means u Are Loved   send this to 10 people in   next 143 mins and tomorrow will be your best day ever  Tonight at midnight your true lOve will realize that he/she Love u  something will happen to u at 1-4 pm tomorrow  It could be anyturn Get ready for   biggest shock of ur life  if u break this chain u will be curse

LAME SHIT LAH!

Imagine the headlines tomorrow: SINGAPORE CELEBRATES NATIONAL I LUV U DAY. PM LEE says "I LUV U SINGAPORE!".

Chain letters are funny. But sometimes disturbing. Emo lah... all you chain letter passers. Syirik you know.

I have so many things to talk about that's been happening the past few days.. like Asyraf stepping on a snail then getting his shoulder dislocated the next day..Hafiz Bear told him that something suay would happen and when Hafiz says it, somehow it happens lah. Like the time we went to watch Just Follow Law at GV Tiong Bahru and on the way there he said that the day was hot and he playfully asked if the cinema had air con. When we got there, the counter girl said "Sorry Sir, But our Air-Conditioning system has broke down, would you like a book a movie time for tomorrow?" Coincidental or Suay?

Oh, I'm currently looking for a good tuition centre or private tutor for Maths. Tag me if you have any recommendations yeah.

BELIEVE IN EDUCATION. IT WILL TAKE YOU FAR.

2007-04-18T23:37:00.001+08:00

Oh! Oh! Jo suka Glenn Ong, Jo tak suka Flying Dutchman! hahaha. It's everywhere lah.

Happy Birthday Mary!~ (:

2007-04-17T23:24:00.001+08:00

there will be a point in your life that you wish you had stapled your mouth shut

In Biology class today, Ms Lim asked people to go up to the board and write something we know about Inheritance. When the front row rushed to the board, Asyraf went up and wrote Tongue Rolling, I wrote Money. Jasper went up and wrote "pussify" That gila babi. What the hell is pussify???? Maybe it's an inside joke I don't know off lah, but after that Asyraf erased it and did something which caused Jasper to scold him "bastard sia" ("bastard" as in someone who plays pranks not the real meaning). Ms Lim heard what Jasper said and asked Jasper to apologise to Asyraf. Actually Jasper also bastard me, he erased my answers on the board.

Ms Lim: Jasper, did you just say bastard?

Jasper : Not the bastard the real bastard, bastard as in the other one

Ms Lim : Then why you have to scold me?

Jasper : I never scold you! I scold Asyraf!

Ms Lim: Then apologise to Asyraf now.

Me: Me also!

Jasper : Eh BASTARD sia! eh, Oops!

then...

When Ms Lim allowed him back into the class, we tried to trick Jasper by asking him to read the word "BUSTED" on a piece of paper.

In other news, Asyraf brought his $28 BedHead MOHAWK PUNKHAIR gel (which he swore he'd never bring) to school today. So I asked him to "punk my hair up" Hahaha.

See the results:

Whoa ho!!! Wild bebeh. But.. studying in Queenstown Secondary where sideburns and earsticks are considered sinful, it would be suicide to come to school with a Mohawk. By the way, that's me finishing up my POA. Here's proof that I actually study.

Ben N Jerrys had their FREE CONE day today. Ahhh... missed it. Could have been so sweeet..

She's so lovely..

"Jo likes to swim, don't like swimming"

"Jo likes Jurong JC, dont like Hwa Chong"

"Jo likes Ben, don't like Jerrys"

something stupid lyrics

2007-04-15T21:40:00.001+08:00

The Romantic Fool

This song has been playing in my head since 7.30 pm today for a reason only she knows (:

Hehe..

SOMETHIN' STUPID

I know I stand in line, until you think you have the time
To spend an evening with me
And if we go someplace to dance, I know that there's a chance
You won't be leaving with me

And afterwards we drop into a quiet little place
And have a drink or two
And then I go and spoil it all, by saying something stupid
Like I love you

I can see it in your eyes, that you despise the same old lies
You heard the night before
And though it's just a line to you, for me it's true
It never seemed so right before

I practice every day to find some clever lines to say
To make the meaning come through
But then I think I'll wait until the evening gets late
And I'm alone with you

The time is right your perfume fills my head, the stars get red
And oh the night's so blue
And then I go and spoil it all, by saying something stupid
Like I love you

The time is right your perfume fills my head, the stars get red
And oh the night's so blue

And then I go and spoil it all, by saying something stupid
Like I love you

I love you
I love you
I love you...

2007-04-14T15:42:00.001+08:00

Sometimes I wonder, whether I'm really gila (crazy) or am I truly a quiet,deep person.

Because people take one look at me and say "This guy really gila or action gila?"

Well, I took a test sometime ago which shows you what type of personality you are.

The DISC Behavioral model describes four basic patterns,
none of which is better or worse than any of the others.

(From: http://www.wittcom.com/DISC_I_personality.htm)

I posses the I personality type, and people like me are concerned about COMMUNICATION and PEOPLE.

If you are an "I" personality type(like me), You.....

You are optimistic, charming, and outgoing.
You are a "people person."
You genuinely like people, and you want them to like you.
You trust people and enjoy bringing out their best.
You are a consummate communicator. You enjoy telling stories and you tend to exaggerate.
You enjoy meeting new people, working with others, and networking.
You tend to ignore the rules (since you don't think they really apply to you).
You are energized by working with people and you energize any group you work with.
You see the "big picture" and you can be inspirational.
You dislike details and you can be scattered.

You are energized by...

Working with people in a fast-paced, varied environment
Being in the spotlight (not necessarily being in charge)
Tackling new projects and learning new things
Gaining public recognition
Initiating change and being able to be creative

You lose energy by...

Being around negative, cold, or pessimistic people
Performing routine, detailed tasks
Being held to rigid schedules
Working alone
Feeling left out
Being criticized in public

At your best you can...

Communicate a vision, mission, or goal in a way that inspires others to adopt it and work toward achieving it.
Be enthusiastic and creative.
See the best in others and you help them believe in their abilities.
You can be a visionary, a motivator, a catalyst.

When you are stressed out, you can...

Shirk your homework, relying on your ability to talk your way out of any trouble.
Lack follow -- through, rarely finishing what you begin. You can overpromise and underdeliver.
Be superficial and glib.

To be your best...

Develop time management skills.
Listen. Question. Pause. Consider.
Be more discriminating. Learn how to appraise people more realistically.
Resist the urge to do something new. Rein in your impulsiveness.
Cultivate perseverance. Become more reflective.

# # #

How to RECOGNIZE an I personality type...

They tend to be extroverted, friendly, and charming.
They speak with animation (using gestures and facial expressions), tell stories, and laugh.
They like to make gatherings (meetings, sales presentations, etc.) into social events.
They enjoy working with people, often trying to include others in their projects.

How to WORK with an I personality type...

Be friendly. Start your conversation in a personable way before getting down to business.
Help them set clear, realistic goals. Develop timetables and check back with them frequently.
Maintain an open door policy with them. Make them feel included.
Set clear objectives and time frames for any major task.
Look for ways to make the best use of their verbal skills.

What NOT to do around an I personality type...

Bore them with details.
Freeze them out. Exclude them. Make them feel like an outsider.
Ignore their ideas.
Expect them to cope well with bureaucracy.

Can believe or not? Haha. Quite true actually. I am a people person, I love communication. So I can be really gila and I can be really serious, the point from this test is that I am a person who is spontaneous, deep, probing and entertaining. And guess what, I'm the only one with the "I" personality (as far as I know lah) from 4C&4D who took the test during the career workshop. Baik ah! Hopefully people with this personality dun get misunderstood by stubborn teachers anymore now that I have shared with you what makes us "tick".

So now you know me.

Ladies and Gentlemen,

Today, history will be re-written

In Conjunction with the site’s 1 month anniversary,

TheSimple-Things.blogspot.com is now officially ZulhilmyAzrin.blogspot.com!

This blog started off on February 25 2007 as just another pastime, in fact I was just trying out this thing of having an online diary where I have to painfully update everyday. Never did I realise that this “painful pastime” has in fact become something that I love to do. It improves my writing skills and it’s like giving me a loudhailer to shout out to the world. What inspired me, if you may have recalled my first every post, was interestingly, a song which talks about writing in a diary about the simple things in life one encounters everyday. The simple things that make life so beautiful. Hence, the original blog address, TheSimple-Things. Looking back at this journey, I cannot forget to thank the very people that is the reason I could even start blogging. Shakinah. Without her experience with blogs, without her magic, this blog would not even be set up and this blog would be no where. Thanks also to Izzat. Whose styles I have adopted and innovated, sometimes to his delight, most of the time, to his fright. Haha. His works are truly something and that too has become a big inspiration for this. So again, Thank You.

This “re-branding” of my blog is a move that I have wanted to make long ago. Renaming the blog to my own name not only makes the blog more PERSONAL, but it also sells myself, my talents and “snippets of my life” (as award winning blogger Karen Cheng calls it) to the world. I hope to build this site even further thru the kind support and awesome suggestions from my readers and anyone who comes across this blog.

This site is still considered “fresh out of the box” and I’m sure after 1 month, there’s still alot of obstacles to go thru. For now, it’s my job to make the people who come to my blog, leave with a message, or something to think about for the day, because after a month of evaluation, ZulhilmyAzrin.blogspot.com will not just be your average blog.

It will be a whole new experience.

Is Stall 2 overcharging? Or are their prices really fair?

2007-03-24T13:03:00.001+08:00

Let's talk about my favourite subject in school. Recess!

It's the time when we get together, eat and discuss important issues and current affairs such as, who won yesterday's football match, what new flavour of ice cream Uncle Ah Hock is selling, plans for the weekend, and most importantly, the food.

The usually crowded STALL 7 has been closed since wednesday. I've got news that the stallholder is really unwell. This stall is arguably the most favourite malay stall in Queenstown (sec). They are recognised for their Chicken Rice, Mee Rebus and the friendly aunties.

Stall 7.. so quiet and peaceful on a usually busy Thursday. And Thursday was supposed to be Chicken Rice day.

This means that the only place to get Malay food is STALL 2:

Now if you're not studying in a Secondary School, or if your school has more than 2 Malay stalls in the canteen, you might think, What's the difference?

Stall 7 is famous for their chicken rice. Stall 2 has roti prata.

The average price of a meal at stall 7 is $1.50, The average price for a meal at Stall 2 is $2.

So this was my lunch today, Fried Rice, Rendang, Vegetables and Potatatoes. And that, cost me $3/-

Enough to buy a KFC meal. :)

I am not here to accuse Stall 2 of anything, because personally I prefer Stall 2 as their queues are shorter and their food is somewhat more satisfying. But fans of Stall 7 are whining. As you can see:

Kamal misses Stall 7

Habiel looking for the chicken in his $2 mee soto

"A hungry man is an angry man" And this applies especially during recess when everyone is close to starvation. My advice to those who don't like the food at Stall 2? Pack your own lunch to school.

2007-03-18T20:59:00.000+08:00

Confidence boost! Now that I got a new look for the new term. Hahaha.. new look meaning new haircut lah.

Was reading 8 days(issue 856) today and Justina Tan's book review caught my eye. She reviewed this book called "Porn For Women"

It's like a fantasy world for women: Where clothes get folded just so, delicious dinners await and flatulence is just not that funny. It contains pictures of men saying stuff like "Have another piece of cake. I don't like you looking so thin" or (in the toilet) "There are only a few sheets left...(of toilet paper) I'd better change it now." Hohoho.

Porn: He spritzes the loo with air freshener after he uses it and always make sure you have a fresh roll each time you enter the toilet.

Reality: He stinks up the loo each time he uses it (what does he eat?!) and always leave you with a cardboard core, complaining when you holler for toilet paper.

Oh my god...propaganda from Venus. Girls, drop a big hint and give this book to your guy. Guys, if you've watched season 3 of Desperate's Housewives, Bree's new man got laid immediately after he washed the wine glasses well.

Something for you to think about.

2007-03-17T21:39:00.000+08:00

Back from ~~chalet~~ Camp!!

"training"lol.

Wahahahaha. Kecohrable ah.. NCC camp was really2 fun. First day we played soccer all the way till dinner. Halo 2 battle after that at night. We had a "haunted school" night activity on the 2nd night. I was in charge of the fourth where we had to act like we all seen a ghost and make the cadets run away. More funny than scary actually. Alif put a groundsheet on himself and stood by the lift. Jasper saw it and he asked asyraf "Is that human?" then Alif moved and Jasper ran all the way down to the first floor! Wahahahaha. After that Alif hung the groundsheet in the corridor and we asked the sec ones to look at it. Mustafa froze when he saw it the next day he said he couldn't sleep the whole night. Hehehe... Jahat ar we all. The police came after the haunted school activity cus some guys broke out of school and the residents around our school thought there was a robbery taking place. Suay ar. After that we watched X Men Last Stand till 5 am. Hohoho....gerek dok.

To all my readers, I apologise for not being able to post anything for the past couple of days, Blogger server seems to hate my computer. Don't know why. I will try my best to post a special later on in the evening. So look out for that alright.

"Life is not about the amounts of breath you take.. It's the moments that take your breath away."

2007-03-12T22:00:00.000+08:00

It's the March Holidays! That means classes for every single day of the week, plus NCC ~~chalet~~ camp on Wednesday till Friday!
Before we talk about this week, let's talk about yesterday's Waddan Cup 07!
The atmosphere at THE CAGE was intense, everyone had the Waddan Cup in their minds but were focused on playing beautifully. It was my FIRST TIME playing for a real tournament and boy have I learnt alot from this experience. Every single time I walked out of the pitch, either Hafiz Bear, Abidin or Hafiz Botak will scold me, "Zul what you doing sia!?" Playing defensive especially in Futsal is challenging but I take all that "scolding" as constructive criticism. :) Serioulsy what, It's really my FIRST TIME playing in a real tournament so i'm really still a rookie compared to the seasoned Abidin or Hafiz Bear. Yesterday was also Iman's birthday and the referee gave him a Yellow Card as a birthday present for sliding tackle. In the end, Ar Rabitah was first. From the last. Hahahaha.. The rankings were'nt announced to the players but we know the champion team was Aljunied. Jamek was 4th. Sia lar, I see the Cup I jealous you know, the Waddan CUP damn tall sia, like World Cup, then when Aljunied won they kiss the trophy. Hahahaha..Feeling world cup.

I'll do a March Holidays Special when I come back from NCC camp, just to make up for last week's specials. But for now I have to ciao, Good nite Singapore!

2007-03-10T21:16:00.000+08:00

If you ask me how I'm feeling right now. I would say: Excited, Nervous and Tired. But ultimately I feel Good. Feeling "good" is essential in making sure what I visualise and manifests, turns to reality. Tomorrow, Ladies and Gentlemen is our Big Day. Tomorrow is the day we battle over 16 teams for the Waddan Cup 2007.

Over just 4 training sessions, I have learnt alot about the personalities of my teammates, their strengths and weaknesses, what makes them tick, i've learnt new skills and most importantly I've seen the way how our team can play united as one.

Today's final training was quite disappointing. Our coach told us yesterday that the training today would be at THE CAGE ( the venue for the tournament tomorrow ). And he already told us where and when to meet, he told us that we MUST come cus the booking fee for THE CAGE is S$90 per hour. That means for today's training they were supposed to come up with $180.
Then I received a message from Heiqel this morning saying "Today's training is CANCELLED".
Last minute sia they tell us. I was already getting ready to leave the house. I was disappointed but then I thought, we HAVE to have our FINAL training before the match. So I msged everyone to meet at the old RP to have our own training without that coach.

Training was fun lah, played with some uncles at RP and their sweaty bodies and hairy pits. Eeeeeee. I want to tackle also I see people first. Hahaha.

So everything went fine UNTIL we went to Queensway after the training. I met the boys from the AL AMIN team, and guess what, they said that the coach didnt cancel the training, he changed his mind last minute. KNN!!!!!! Everybody angry already, especially Jansher whose EZ LINK got confiscated by that idiot bus uncle cus its spoilt. Wah... chibong ar!

Haiz.. nvm... Happy Go Lucky ah. No point crying over spilled milk right. As long as I'm feeling good and thinking straight, insyallah everything will work out for the best.

Wish us luck yeah.
Slamz!

2007-03-08T21:56:00.000+08:00

It's just 3 days till the Waddan Cup and our team are really really psyched up about the whole thing. Had training today. Nice to see that our team is able to communicate with each other. And now I'm really tired. Whoohoo. Training again tomorrow at the old Republic Poly. Still don't have my shinguard, boots and socks. Aiyohhhh... Sponsors anyone? You might have noticed that nothing proper has been posted the past few days, that's cause Blogger server don't like my computer. But yesterday's news is yesterday's news right? Wrong.

Yesterday I experienced the Most Boring Cross Country ever since my 4 years in Queenstown. I was really disappointed with the organisation of the whole thing. And I don't know where to put my face, cus I'm also involved with the event. Someone broke his arm at the playground, an executive member of a board in school cried bcus the whole school littered, the dj station (my job) that was conquered by some teachers to become a dedication booth turned out to be boring(the crowd was sitting at the back, the speakers were facing the wrong way and they could'nt hear the music at all) ..and the prefects around didnt even bother to do some crowd control at the dedication booth. "RIMAS" you know?

Im disappointed lah, especially at myself cus I felt so helpless. I try to help, my help is refused. I also thought that I had disappointed sum1. She had a terrible flu, but still came to the Jogathon, hoping that she'll have a good time rather than lying in bed all day. Karma lah. I regret not running this year.

Ok so that was yesterday's news... looking into the future, tomorrow is Friday, but I doubt I'll have enough energy after the training to post the specials up. But do come back frequently cus you'll never know when an idea might pop up while im in the toilet.

Thank you very nice! Good nite Singapore!

2007-03-07T21:17:00.000+08:00

These past three days have been a hell of a past three days for me. Lots of achivements...lots of disappointments. Some realisations...realisations that led to happiness..some led to confusion..some led to disbelief.

Blogger was down the past few days. But let's talk about the happy things that happened these three days.

First of all, we won the "4D cup"(not Waddan Cup) where Durians (my team) beat Rambutans at a final score of 2-1. With an aggregate of 5-4.

1st Goal was amazingly scored by Jasper! Axel stopped the ball with his chest, high passed to Jasper and he VOLLEYED it right in. Theodore (keeper) jumped to the right but the ball came in the left of the post. Goal for Durians!

Today was Vivo Night, had to discuss about the upcoming tournament and vivo seemed like a nice place to meet. Firdaus didnt expect me to come and he thought that I was working at Puma. Lol. Me? Work at Puma? My face? Pumek can ar. Wahaha. The most interesting shop we strolled in was DAISO, the Japanese Hypermart at the Skypark. They sell all kinds of weird stuff there, all for $2. I can't believeeeeee it. There's like Hello Kitty and Doraemon whistles...Ear Muffs..Spaghetti...Spectacles...Hamster, you name it they have it. The best thing is, you could buy something from Daiso and trick your friends by saying you bought it from Japan. Wasabeh! The next time I'm going to Daiso, I'm gonna buy the Plastic Loudhailer as a present for the Parade Commander at this year's NDP so he won't have to scream his lungs out.

Just 3 days past the launch of this blog, and already I am experiencing problems. I can't post anything since the last 15 hours or so due to an error from either the Blogger server or IE7. Truly disappointing. Anyways, today has been quite mundane for me. Class as per usual..tests..classes after school..play soccer abit..wait for sum1 after malay dance...go home.. Yawn.

Oh, haven't told you about the inter-mosques national tournament i'm taking part in on the 11th March:

Kamal came up to me this morning to wish me luck for today's match, but sry guys, the match is postponed till next week or maybe after the jogathon. But thanks so much for all your support guys! Lol. Klakar lah korang.

Well today we were treated to a chinese opera performance during assembly. I never actually quite understood the essence of this traditional art. But after watching that whole 45 minute chinese opera performance (in mandarin) about two generals raging war against each other, I realised that this century old art was one of the roots that led to modern musical theatre.

Hohoho! Check out my dad (Extreme right on main pic, third from the left on the small picture) performing Chinese Opera back in 1992:

Kecohrable ar geks.

THE OMEN:

By creating this blog, I have broken one of my own rules as a media critic. I used to hate the idea of blogs, seeing it as a chore to update the posts every single day, which's purpose is to only tell people the bleddy boring stories of one's every day life. But today, I was inspired to start an online diary cus of 2 things, a song, "Diari Seorang Lelaki" (A man's diary) and also my realisation that people often forget the simple things in life that make life so beautiful. By having this "blog", i get to record down the beautiful/painful memories as life goes by.
Let's just see how long this blog lasts. (:

Tomorrow is gonna be a very tiring day. First period PE, gonna have our 2nd leg of the finals of Durians VS Rambutans at the basketball court.

Durians Line Up:
Zulhilmy Dickson GK

Axel Precious RW
Kenneth Lewis LW

Formation Strategy: 2-1-2
Lol.

After scoring the equalizer last week (scored from the goalpost) i'm very psyched up for tomorrow's game. Hope alot of supporters come down tomorrow. Wish us luck yea!

PRETTY UGLY - DIARI SEORANG LELAKI
Dari semalam ku tunggu
Fikir kau pulang ke pangkuanku
Ku dengarkan lagu cinta pilihan terbaik kita
Ku mainkan CD berulang
Lupakan segala ucapan
Perpisahan yang kau pinta

Benar dikau ku cinta
Tiap detik ku pujaKau sering perhatiku sambil belai rambutmu
Tak ingin aku lupa kenangan yang tercipta
Berikan aku diari ku tulis setiap hari
