just stating my thoughts here.

i only write sad poems

i only write sad stories
not exactly tear-jerkers
but just a few self pity
poems to add more misery

when i'm being pathetic
writing is therapeutic
like some drug synthetics

i only write sad stories
my words only flow
in place of overpriced tears
easier this than that

pre exam stress mode

i'm hating exams more and more.

why not?
exams are usually the only time i have enough time to think.
and thinking is not what i want to do lately.

thinking scares me, hurts me even.
and i'm afraid of the hurt.

a lot of things hurting me lately.
and lately referring to two years back.
more like two-and-a-half-year back.

and when i am left alone, with too much time in my hands, i tend to think.
thinking and reminiscing.
which will lead me to self loathing, and regrets.
eventually tears will fall.
heh.

ought to save myself.
i know i should grow out of it.
but how do you forget someones you really love?

revenge??

i'm doing something to piss off somebody.
hopefully it won't backfire on me.

and the saddest part now is that, i'm left all alone by both of my friends.
plus exam is just around the corner.

haiihh...

ps: waaa...cutenyer jern!!!

FREAK MUCH!!!

skang ni aisyah and raje sedang lepak ngan aku.

memang best giler, sebab kitorang memang sekepala.

and perangai SANGAT sama.

oleh sebab kesamaan perangai ni laa aku sangat, sangat risau kat diorang neh.

contohnye arini diorg keluar nak balik malam tak inform aku langsung. aku pun paniklaa melampau sampai pegi carik diorg kat malioboro ngan syazwan skalik. mamat tu pun panik skali gak.

sumer tu gara-gara aku tak dapat call phone raje, and dia pun abis kredit.

last last dapat tau yang diorang PERGI TENGOK MOVIE TANPA AKU.

BENGONG!!

tapi jern kata sama je kalau aku ikut, nanti aku pun ilang sekali. hahahaha! XD

muka-muka penjenayah tegar...kesalahan, buang sampah dalam longkang...

Jom pegi Jakarta lagi!!!

i went to jakarta again.
this time with aisyah and intan.

from left: aisyah and intan

the best part about this jakarta trip was we had a very cute driver which is Intan's younger brother.

the brother, aka the driver: Arlingga

which we bully kinda mercilessly with our gay jokes, and my insensitive comments.

anyway, if you come to jakarta, again i said, you must visit the malls.

Intan and her obsession, cat

latest mall open was the Grand Indonesia.
and we went there.

it was a picture heaven!!!
there's theme at each area; victorian, china town, old japanese, london street... cool giler!!

victorian highway...with love..ngahahhaha!!

oh, aisyah bought a prada.

and i just love salvatore ferragamo shoes!! by the way, i don't understand why the sales girl thought i could afford to buy a rp7.9 mil shoes even after 30% discount. hermm...

and yeah, ate JCo three days in a row sampai rasa muak.

mangga dua is THE place to be to buy pirated dvds and imitation handbags. a dvd costs around rp5000, which is around rm1.80, dirt cheap. basically mangga dua is 4 malls interconnected with each other via several bridges. it's something similar to the low yatt, sungei wang and time square area. but bigger and better. muahahaha!! you can find everything in mangga dua, or, like intan said,

you can go to mangga dua naked and came back fully clothed, accessoried and with a car.

i even went to jakarta fair.
correction, i went to jakarta this time to go to the jakarta fair.
but it was B.O.R.I.N.G.
dahla we have to pay for the entrance.
thank god we went with Intan's family, and gratefully, her dad paid for our entrance tickets. THANK YOU INTAN'S PARENTS!!!

orang durian at Jakata Fair

oh yeah.... ada doraemon kat plaza semanggi!! not only doraemon, the whole gang were present! ngehehehe! jangan jeles...XD

giant, sinyu, doraemon, nobita and shizuka

by the way, i didn't write about the places we went in chronological orders. har har har har.

bandung trip with aisyah

i did this just to spite raje.
hahahaha.

i went to bandung with aisyah on the 5th of June 2008. on the day she arrived at Adisucipto airport of Jogjakarta.
we took a 9pm train to bandung, and arrived there around 6 am. early.

and then we took a cab that cost us around rp120k to Jatinangor to see

a. my ex-classmates whom i haven't saw for nearly two years (especially fairuz and ali)
b. adib murshidee, aisyah wants to see him.

since Jatinangor was hell far from the town bandung, we decided to go back to bandung and rent a room at a hotel, Puri Gardenia Hotel (rp220k per night). and that trip back also cost around rp120k.

the friday, first day we arrived, was boring. i was even thinking about buying a ticket back on saturday night, which thank god i didn't do.

first day activities:

1. jatinangor
2. buy train ticket
3. went to totally lame factory outlet
4. went to BIP mall, okaylaa kot.
5. went back to hotel and slept

second day was much better. we went to pasar baru, a place a lot like pasar payang in terengganu or pasar siti khadijah in kelantan. lots and lots and lots of textile, kain batik (aisyah bought a few), baju, kain kebaya (aisyah bought a few too), kain buat seluar (i did buy enough to make two pair of slacks), kain alas meja (i bought one for my mum), etc.

third day we went to jalan dago, pegi factory outlet...
bought myself a vivienne westwood imitation t-shirt. wohoo!! jangan jeles raje!!

now i'm writing this blog from my friend's house in jakarta.
ngahahahahha!!

(seriously evil mode on).

ps: entry tak best langsung sbb penat and takde idea. nntilaa upload pictures.
pps: raje nak datang tak lama lagi...yay!!

Book Review: Tuesdays with Morrie

yeahh!!
a proper book review after two months of not doing it properly.
i totally skipped during April, and May saw me reading romance novels.

i know this is old, but what the heck, here it is:




Tuesdays with Morrie
author: Mitch Albom
Publisher: Broadway
Language: English
ISBN-10: 076790592X
ISBN-13: 978-0767905923
First book i read from Mitch Albom was The Five People You Meet In Heaven. the story's about life after dying. about retrospecting the life you've had and what actually that you've learned from it. but i'm not going to talk about that book. today i want to talk about Tuesdays with Morrie.

i'm never one to investigate books i'm about to read. a review from a friend, a great cover, an author/authoress i recognized, all these (or one of those) are enough for me to pick up a book and read it. so when i read Tuesdays with Morrie, what i have in mind was "this is a fiction story about an old guy who is dying". but what i think about the book isn't important now.

i like the moral of the story. of how Morrie refused to study medicine, law and business because he didn't want to manipulate people. i always think that a doctor's duties may be not as noble as we think, because we make a living out of other people's misery. never a good thing. and of how he said that to live happily you have to interact with people, to have communication, to have relationships. and i think that's true too.

ait. other topics discussed in the book are "regrets", "feeling sorry for yourself", "death", "family" and a few others.

this book defies most of the materialistic cultures we lived by today. it says things like, prioritize things that is really important to you; money isn't everything in life; it's okay not being able to do everything; and many others. for me, this book is better than any self-help book. i hate self help books because they made me feel helpless. and stupid (i know, i know, i have denial problem).

anyway.
this is a true story about a man's perspective about life.
a light reading with a heavy input.
enjoy.

orange kite says: i have mixed feelings when reading this book. i still have problems dealing with deaths. especially dying because of disease-related problems. somehow this book help me get through it a little bit, and didn't make me feel so bad about myself. so, for not making me feel like i'm the most evil person in the world, i'm giving a full 10/10 for this book.

mysterious story from a scooter-rider.

I'm not so sure what happened today. it all started normally; i woke up, took a shower, and dressed for class. and as usual class went uneventfully, a few lectures and a couple of lab works. my classmates looked bored as they normally did, some of them even fell asleep during class. i think the only thing that's different today was the sky turned green.

funny i'm the only one noticed that. when i asked my friends, they all looked at me in a weird way. but then that always happened. not too unusual there. come to think about it, i only realized that the sky's turning green when i was riding my blue scooter home. there must be some connection with riding scooters and seeing green skies. however my other scooter-riding friends didn't even see it. hence earning me the weird stare that i mentioned earlier.

let me describe how green was the sky today. at first, it was blue. but then suddenly the color morphed. it was like looking at a vast ocean from the beach, where the nearest part to you is bright blue and as it goes further and further away from you the color changes from bright blue to something darker. and at the end of the horizon, it turns into emerald green. it was beautiful. breathtakingly so. it felt like i was riding my scooter across the ocean. exhilarating. and then the fun stopped. after 10 minutes of "riding across the ocean", the beautiful green-colored sky became murkier. darker and uglier the color turned, like somebody added black ink and mud into it. scarier. and my pleasant walk at the ocean turned into something out of a horror movie. or my worst nightmare. suddenly i'm treading at the deepest, darkest swamp forest, and the swamp was mocking me, calling me into it. which was not a good thing, i guess. swirled and swirled, a vortex appeared. from the darkest part of the sky, it grew bigger and bigger, sucking everything and anything around it.

everything came to a halt.

that's when i realised, i'm in the hospital, with multiple fractures, 32 stitches, and a disfigured face.
i swear, today did start normally for me.
