what i got for my birthday?

well, first and foremost, i had the SBO management committee and the VP of Education to sing birthday song to me :) hahaha.. good job lah people, betul2 surprise eh.
although i was expecting a big cake, and a naked lady jumping out of it. ah, better save it for my bachelor party eh?

she gave me a pair of plush toys, and a shirt. an informal shirt ok. rasa muda pulak bila dpt baju tu hehehe

as for me, i celebrated my birthday with a body service a.k.a berbekam/cupping treatment. had 20 cups, all at a price of rm300.

am planning to have acupuncture pulak next month. rm5 per needle.

anyway, she is against the idea of having a bicycle. meaning i have to scrap the plan to own a bicycle here in KK. as long as she is willing to fetch me and send me back home, no problem hehehe. although i need to find a way to be more green in commuting. i think i'll start walking back home everyday then.

good weekend, and here's looking forward for tomorrow!

cuti2 sabah

nak dekat setahun kat sini, so skrg tgh cuba melawat tmpt2 yang patut dikunjungi ketika di KK.

26th February ke Kudat, semata-mata untuk ke Simpang Mengayau. famously known for its Tip of Borneo.

27th February ke Pulau Mamutik. berjemur setelah lama gila tak pegi pulau. so far dah ke Pulau Sapi, Pulau Manukan and Pulau Mamutik. nice~

next week? maybe ke Sapi balik kot. Iqbal, Nik and Mior nak datang KK.

yang lain tu, korang ni bila nak datang KK? dulu beriya-iya cakap, bagusla ko kat KK, senang aku nak datang nnt. sampai ke hari ni, tak nampak pun batang hidung?

hehehe

24021984

the date i was born.

happy birthday to me!

yeay~

so, this is how it feels..

of knowing your ex-gf is getting married.

am glad that she met someone, who i'm sure will give her happiness that she deserves.

to Nor Hafizah, congratulations! and yes, if i'm in KL on your big day, i'll be there.
best apa gi wedding.. makan free, jumpa kawan2 lama :)

life goes on :)
and i dont feel like coming back to KL anytime soon, even if they want to transfer me. it's either stay at KK, or to Sarawak, or international posting.

Movie Review: Percy Jackson and The Lightning Thief

ok, one thing for sure, Percy Jackson a.k.a PJ 1st adventure will never win any Oscar. Unless they have a new category for Old-Mythologies-With-A-New-Perspective movies.

the Greek mythologies never ceases to amaze me. they are a product of hundreds of years of oral-story telling passed down generation to generation, and the main story has multiple spin-offs. Unlike our local folk-lore, they even have proper background stories for each character.
(although come to think of it, based on Hikayat Melayu or something, we are descendants of great Greek emperor.. if we are talking about the same Iskandar Agung lah)

ok, i'm digressing.

my point is, if you want to see US twist of this Greek myths, in other words this series practically stripped Greece of its Gods!, then watch this.

as for me, i find this movie interesting. although there were some plot holes, and not strong acting, but by comparing this with 1st Harry Potter, i find this even more enjoyable.

conclusion: this movie kinda made me feel "i should read the books!", since there are lots of things unexplained. but for those who want to just have fun and enjoy an innocent movie, go and get yourself a good seat(s).

Movie Review: The Wolfman

watch it at your own risk.

i tried to enjoy the movie, even to the extent of had small laughs (alone) at the jokes in the movie, but when the credit rolls, i cant feel the connection to the movie.

spoiler ahead (well, as if you have not read it somewhere la kan?)

Lawrence came back to his house upon knowing his brother was killed. apparently he ran away from the house after being wrongly accused of imagining that his father killed his mother. cut the story short, he was bitten, and transformed into a werewolf. terrorized the village that night, he was caught by the police, and was sent back to the mental institution he called home years ago. then he realised, his father is the werewolf. so he ran berserk and settled the score with his father. the end. oh, he died. and the inspector will be in the sequel: The Scotland Yard Wolfman!

even my english grammar and spelling is broken.

hurmm... 

i stayed awake throughout the movie because i paid rm16.50 for the movie (2 pax bah). and since she was asleep, i guess i'd better ensure at least the admission fees were worth it.

again, go watch it if you want to have the noir feel. else, go have fun watching Percy Jackson. it is much more better. 

Wolfman is like The Spirit.

happy valentine's day

ok, sedikit update dari meja pengarang.

(kita buat style Dr M lah, bullet point..baru nampak intelek sikit)

1. dear sister is getting married this April. and yesterday we just officially declared her (and her fiancee) house is now open to the public. had a small do'a selamat and yasin recital, and big portion of food. us providing the BBQ chicken and sausage and salsa sauce; whilst the fiancee side with masakan kampung i.e udang sambal petai, ulam-ulaman, gulai nangka, kerabu mangga, ikan masin goreng, dll. oh ya, the akad nikah is planned to be held on 23rd april, while the walimah will be on 24th april. the 1st one for nazlan clan.
2. and maybe come october, the 2nd one. as another sister is also planning to get married. but details yet to confirmed. alang2 tu, 2 marriages terus! the parents cant wait to have cucu :)
3. dat said, when i asked my sister, "nak abgmil ada ke time ur nikah and walimah nanti?". and the question was answered with a simple statement, "gila ke abgmil takda?"
4. it's a wonderful and quiet valentine's day for me this year. no V-Day msg for me.
5. after a month of tak-balik KL, i spent my one week in KL as a devout anti-social person. spent most of my time in my room; surfing Net, downloading torrents, and texting people(s). played badminton once, and met the gfs once also. oh ya, i slept a lot. took a day off just to sleep. and when i woke up, i was bored, so i decided to continue sleeping. yes, i'm the male version of sleeping beauty. even she called me Raja Tidur.
6. watched Percy Jackson alone, and upon exiting the cinema hall, met Anaz Dean. and she was surprised that i went to the movie ALONE! she said, "bukan u banyak kawan ke?".. yeap, i hv tonnes of friend. but semua busy. nak buat macam mana. baik duduk diam2 kat KK.
7. spent the whole week thinking of getting myself a MacBook (no thanks to Jai!). been getting loads of hints and signs why i should get one i.e Farih is buying one, saw An Independent Guide to the Mac magazine, news on Apple Store temporarily close, etc etc... but as much as i'd love to quote Paulo Coelho "when you want something so bad, the whole universe will conspire to make it happen", a big chunk of reality bite me. i'm still owing CIMB bank RM3k, for my credit card bill. settle the debt first ok.
8. so, while lepaking with Lan, Syeena and Nodi on V-Day eve, told them of the news. and lan sungguh tak puas hati hahahaha
9. i want to buy a house, not in KL, but in KK. yes people, i'm planning to settle down here in KK. best woo.
10. after a week of anti-socialising in KL (balik pun macam tak balik je. tak lepak dgn sesapa pun. tapi spent loads of time with family! yeay!), i'm bored of KL. ye, KL bosan! hehehehe
11. Owh, attended a workshop last week, and am so inspired with it. watch out peeps! a new definition if HR is coming through.
12. shoot. am suppose to be sleeping right now. esok nak jalan2 cuti2 Malaysia kat Sabah ni :) with local tour guide hehehe

we will meet again, Tan Sri Dato' Sri Hassan Marican

yeap, yesterday was a sad day. beloved Tan Sri Hassan Marican is now no longer the no. 1 man in PETRONAS.

i love his farewell note. he clearly mentioned that he is not PETRONAS, and PETRONAS is not him. he wants PETRONAS to be remembered because of the people serving the company. at the ocean, desert, snow, etc etc.

luckily for me, i have some good banter with him, during his visit to Sabah.

contrary to popular belief, i 100% believe that he will return. maybe not under the capacity as Advisor or whatsoever, but for sure we will invite him to give talks on management or something else.

and i'm sure datuk Shamsul will have Hassan's number in his speed dial :)

here's a farewell note to you, Tan Sri Hassan.

and i bid you hello :)

ini adalah post penuh dgn video :)

ah.. now i remember how it feels like... again.. after all these years...

now, the path has been shown, and the journey to be a better man starts now.

mutiara kata

(sebenarnya sebab malas nak tulis panjang2)

falling in love is when you love someone for completing you, and for bringing out the best in you.

falling in lust is when you want someone to be with you because you want to.

the perfect person, is the one who made you perfect just by being themselves.
