Today, i cried my heart out driving my way to work thinking how messed up my life is at the moment. just as i thought id be relieved of 3-quart of my burden by end of this month..another 1 and a half arisen! why oh why? car insurance-credit cards-bills bills bills..i should've known not to idly applied to get a taste of debts! itu lah..gatal namanye! orang kata jangan, degil!
and 2 days i was served with puddles of water in my kitchen area that leaks out to wet the entire area outside my door-down to the corridor, past my neighbour houses!I cant find the source! and it was made worse cuz my kitchen and my hall light had not been fixed for the past few weeks (weekSSSS!), so i can vaguely see my way around at night-thus berkali2 la terpijak air kat dapo tu-pastu basah satu rumah!..da la sink leaking (someone promised sweetly to look thru that matter abt a month+ ago!), my toilet is happily spilling water to ensure my water bill rockets evry month, my butt is sore due to injection from my last visit to the doc, my toe-thumb is sore(that's y i got the injection) so i dressed crappy to work cuz i cant wear all my fav shoes!, my phone is goin kaput, my ipod cable is infected with virus!! and I'm feeling dizzy macam nak demam pasal pikir benda2 ni!!
But then, it hit me when i read about the quake that hit Indonesia. No matter how much Im at debt or had deeply dug my own shithole, I still hav the people I love around me-to kiss me better n to turn to,I still hav the option of favourite restaurants to buka puasa in, I still hav my car to drive to work, still hav my comfy bed n pillow to slump in tonight, hav a job with a company which is generous enough to give occasional bonus to help me with my debts-despite self-proclaimed authorised colleague to share my workplace with (I can always see it all as a form of entertainment, kan?), no matter how much I'm owing the banks, I can still spare some money to burn for fun (ciggies!) =( ..and I can't help but wonder, after all that God has shown us of The Mighty's ability to take it all away within a blink of an eye..why do we still need to see more disasters n tragedy to be reminded that we shouldn't be questioning our luck and be thankful of what we have instead?
now i feel shitty for complaining too much, but at least-we can all learn from my mistake..kan?Let's say our Alhamdulillah and minimise as much on unnecessaries..
Ya Allah, please provide much help and shelter for the needy..jauhkan kami dari bala' n waba'..Amin

Why I Like Killer Whales
First of all, i personally think that Killer Whale or scientifically known as Orcinus Orca is an amazing creature. Being the coolest looking mammal with a kick ass 'outfit', it never fails to capture my heart to stare and be fascinated over it's black and white features. They're like very smartly dressed in a tux.
Orcas, technically has no threat at all..besides human. Even so, human kept Orcas in captivity for a slight good cause. They dont kill em like they do sharks and whales for consuming or other purposes. Apart from human, Orcas are not involve in the food chain system (or at least,not while they're swimming and alive..).Known to travel in pax, they would eat just about anything from penguins to seals to whales and even the overrated Great White. Bein a groupie, they hunt together and are very helpful and caring towards every member of its clan.A member would go to the extend of risking itself bein washed ashore to save a beached orca by bein closer to encourage and give much needed moral support. Aren't they such darlings..?
Unlike sharks who swam haywire-all over the place in the ocean, Orca swims gracefully..This cool creature can make one hell of a jump over the ocean surface and stylishly flips its tail in a very dexterous manner. Bein so obsessed with men's arms, I always thought that the Killer Whale's flipper plays pretty much the same role. It's so mascular and gorgeous-the bigger the better.
Apart from that, i find the Orca's set of teeth so cute and neatly fitted in its mouth making them look so adorable and cheeky. Compared to their body size, Orca tooth looks baby-ish..total cuteness!
All in all, i think Orca's a very intriguing and handsome creature. They're free to roam the ocean and they're never on its own..Having blessed with much needed intelectuality and ability to commute with one another, makes me think that they're living perfectly blissed on this planet we share.

Captain NorAzlan Bin Termuzi
The missing Nuri reported missing last Friday made me text him and praying that he's not involved..followed by countless attemps to call him on his cell. Failed to reach him, i guessed that he's probably with the rescue squad to search for the heli. Later that evening, all 6 names on board the Nuri was annouced on the news. I was startled to discover the worse - he piloted the missing heli.
When i heard abt the interview where his father said that he's confident that his son is alright, I exhaled a slight relief. Parents instict are always right. Probably, he was still alive when the heli hit the ground..I continued praying..and sent countless sms hoping he'd reply.
2 days before he boarded the heli, we talked on the phone. We made plans to catch up over coffee as soon as he comes back from Kuantan. Ending the conversation, i remember him saying 'You take care, ok...' and he doesnt sound as cheerful as always. Azlan as i remembered, is very witty..he loves to giggle and talks highly of his job. During our last meeting, he was complaining about some Nuri problems that he had to attend to almost every day..and we talked about survival in emergency situations. He has about 40 friends to whom he has known since he was little and till the last days, never failed to make time getting together with them and catch up on things.. I know, cuz most of the time when he's not working, he'll be with his friends.
Yesterday at about 2pm, i got a call from my colleague informing me of the finds. None of them survived the crash..My knees went weak and i could hardly speak. It's so shocking. Knowing the person you just spoke to had died..with smses still in my inbox and outbox and his name still in the outgoing and incoming call list on my phone. He has been such a wonderful person to hang out with. A very kind soul who is so passionate about what he's doing..imagine being a captain at such young age, he just turned 29 on July 6th. His family must've been very very proud of him.
I still cant sink in the thought that he's no longer around. But i do recite Al-Fatihah at every thought of him. I'm glad to hear that all 6 bodies are recovered-intact..u know how crashes like that can be pretty nasty. And at least he died while carrying his duty to the country-doing something he loves so much. He's indeed an irreplaceable guy.
Al-Fatihah...

Seek-A-Tension
Few weeks ago, browsed thru pages after pages of profiles connected to my own friends list in the ever so popular network site, MySpace. I came accross few pages that totally shocked me. Not exactly cuz it was so nicely made and not even because the profile is blardy intriguing and interesting. These pages are tarnished with phrases, quotes, headlines, words that are crude and totally embarrasing for one to describe themselves..
One of the site, this girl filled her profile with countless pictures of her partying scene..complete with captions describing her state of high-ness during the moment-complete with description of the type of drug that made her high-complete with some pictures of her drinking, eyes like panda's, some slutty-kinky poses with guys and even a pic with the drug itself in it..
Meanwhile on her profile, she has no problem shouting out her needs for drugs and describing herself as a party-girl and an alchoholic. (ew, i know)
Nonetheless, u can imagine that her comments r filled with party talks and over the top thinking that she was totally cool to do that.
Well, we do go to parties, some of us hav had our share of experience with drugs, we can be kinky, we can be bold and what such..but, im sure most of us r civilised and educated enough to ruin our reutation and tell the whole world. I just dont get it, what...are these ppl thinking? how can they possibly think that its acceptable at all??
Shallow? look..even if we're not in Malaysia, unless ure a bimbo, brainless, attention-seeking nymphos-ud probably would agree to such thing..I mean, even if ure losing, that ure desperate for a companion, what kind of marketing brainiac does that without looking absoluty stupid, cheap and easy?
Moreover, it's probably readable (not acceptable) if it's well-written or presented.we'd probably take it as her means of expressing herself.In these girl's case, their english usage just confirmed their level of bimbo-ness..Well, i dont mean to be rude-but if anyone is so liberated, they should be able to sink this

IT for dummies
Today i woke up at 7.30..i havent been waking up this early since a decade ago (ok, im exaggerating). Anyhow..Ive been sent to attend a multimedia training by my superior for some modern journalism using modern technologies and hi-tech devices. Yes, its boring and that explains y im yip-yapping this. The trainer is still dancing around clowning in front of me. I am not exactly a journalist, but i do deal with loads of em.so, according to my boss, this course is crucial for me. So i came equipped as required..i had to get a notebook, borrowed my brother's 3G phone n pack my digital camera here..(and im even equipped with ipod too just incase my eyedrop failed to constraint my eyelids from getting glued together)
Anyhow, for the past 3 hours since this workshop starts, Ive been bombared with much needed morning surprise by some of the contestant around me, (actual journalist- to whom this training is especially conducted for). Earlier, one of them leaned over n asked me smtg. Since she was whispering, i cant really hear her. all i can hear was 'what' 'ipod' 'bla bla'..so, thinking that she's probably questioning bout what links the ipod to journalisme, i explained that the guy in front will probably fill us in later..cuz i dont hav a clue.. but, when she repeat her question.., i stood staring at her, jaw dropped to my collar. her question was 'What is an ipod?' Ok, this...coming from a journalist for one of the top Malaysian paper! Moreover, this girl is somehow well dressed, all mat-saleh slang and stuff. I cant help but wonder, how backdated can one be when it comes to technology??
I mean, we're not exactly living on the outskirts here. This is KL la weh..how can one never heard of a gadget made famous by school kids travelling the lrt to school every morning?? Ok, perhaps some of us r not really polished with a squaky savvyness in the technology field but at least we are not expected to report news for the whole nation to dig. Can u imagine how questionable her reportings are? Anyway, she just signalled me to a ciggie session. Im gonna take my pod and be all heroic and introduce her to it..at least i can convince myself of at least one purpose of why im here.. wheee!
