= Ttakji King =

Been having sleepless nights. Don't know the reason why, I figured maybe my mind might not be at ease so tried different ways to tired myself out. Exercise, browsing through Facebook and Instagram but nothing seems to work.

Last night was no exception. Tried to go to bed at around 12 midnight but end up rolling from side to side till I check the clock and it's almost 3 am. Browse at a certain person's facebook profile thinking maybe seeing her face might put my mind at ease but nah didn't work. So I figured, It's technically Tuesday already so that means The english subs for the latest Running Man Episode must be out. Might as well watched it since I couldn't sleep. Didn't regret my decision... Last night's theme was Children's Day, apparently Korea celebrates Children day on May 5th ( In Singapore it's October 1st) So yeah all the games they played last night was based on the votes kids would like to see their Running Man celebrities take part in and the Highest voted games was "Ttakji" (in english it's commonly known as "Slammers").

Well anyway, throughout the 100 plus episodes, The Running Man members have played Ttakji among themselves a couple of times and most of the time the winner is either Jae suk (The 1st and original Ttakji king) or Jong Kook (The next or current Ttakji king ).

Last night's episode, whether it's scripted or fated. Both Ttakji Masters faced off in the finals. Since Jong kook is the current Ttakji king holder, Jae suk is waiting for this opportunity to reclaim the title. Who won? well I shall not spoil it for those of you who haven't watched it. If you want to know who is the King now watched Running Man Episode 144 here.

It was an epic match. Took them almost an hour to finally find a winner. So with all the hype and excitement about Ttakji, I figured why not make one? Sounds interesting and fun. So I googled and found this website/blog on how to to make your own Ttakji. (Credits to Ophila Ong for her guide)

Haha my Ttakjis, kinda small though because I use A4 size paper

It's raining heavily now. I just got back from work. Kinda depressing weather. Makes me lazy wanna cook. So what do I do? Just pop in the ready made lasagna into the oven and voila!!! Dinner is serve. Ok people the oven just rang... Time to eat. Hungry and tired.

The 2 kg Ready made just pop into oven because I'm tired and lazy to cook Lasagna, haha

Jemput makan :)

The way to a man's heart is through his stomach.

Just got back from Lenny's place for dinner. The girls decided to cooked a scrumptious meal of Sambal Goreng, Lemak Chili Padi Ayam, Begedil and Serunding. I'm so full and Happy that I couldn't even walk let alone move. It was delicious thank you Lenny, Nurul, Ainul and Rushdi for dinner. It's been awhile I had authentic malay home-cooked food.

I'm gonna find a wife who can make a mean Sambal Goreng. Well even if she doesn't and she's willing to learn from my mum, I'll accept haha. It's one of my favorite malay dishes of all time. Back during my primary/secondary school days I use to like buy a packet of Nasi Sambal Goreng from those Mama shop or Kedai Aunty under the void deck for 50cents or the most expensive was $1.50. It's not much inside just rice, the sambal goreng and 1 begedil oh and not to forget the sambal. That alone is pure heaven.

Couldn't find a pic of the old packet of Nasi sambal goreng but I found this, A packet of void deck Nasi lemak.

Nowadays it is pretty hard to get packets of these Nasi sambal goreng from shops under the void deck. The familir Mama shop no longer cease to exist. In its place the colours of Green, white, orange and Red takes over, commonly known as "7-Eleven". I miss these Mama shops as it give the neighborhood a neighborly feeling. The aunties and uncles were very nice and they would sell anything. From sweets to foodstuff to  fresh grated coconuts to even household items like mops and brooms. It's like an all in one supermarket. I remember they even had religious books.

A typical void deck mama shop

The new modern mama shop - The 7 eleven

Everyone knew the uncle and Aunty and they watch us grow up. A couple of years back when my youngest sister was still in Primary school, (The school she went to was, Juying Primary along Jurong West Street 91, my old neighborhood, the place I grew up) my mum will go and pick her up after school. So while waiting for her, my mum would go and buy some sweets or drinks at the nearby Mama shop near my old flat.



Surprisingly the aunty still remembers my mum and even ask her "How is boy doing?" (referring to me). Wow my mum told me about it, I felt honored that after   all these years and eventhough we had moved out of the neighborhood, she still remembers me. Everyone was pretty close knit in the neighborhood.


Nowadays I pity the newer, younger generations. They won't be able to experience all these things. Running to the mama shop and buying groceries or last minute ingredient for a dish she is cooking. Making friends with the aunty and uncle. But I guess that's how life is now. As the country progresses and modernize, the old mama shop too will be upgraded to the more modern convenient store, 7-Eleven.

Damn I miss my old house. Such fond memories...

Meeting the 19 year old me....

So, I just got back into blogging. Spend the entire night reading my old posts. Cracked myself up reminiscing bout the past.

Here I am, 27 year old me reading bout 19 year old me and I'm going. Holy crap, was I like that back then?

So let's recap...

My first entry was dated 20 March 2004, 9 years ago. 18 year old me in my 1st year of Polytechnic. Joined The Singapore Polytechnic Taekwondo Club and to my understanding the start of a long depressing love story with a girl name Siti Zaliza Warti (Damn I still remember her full name). Anyway 70%-80% of the posts so far has got something related to her. 19 year old me must be really hung up on her.

Was digging up old pictures and I found this. The one and only pic of Liza I have left. haha

Then there are some really angsty, emo, depressing posts bout teenage love and all. Haha... as much as I hate to admit it. I was a really sick love puppy. But it's not all depressing, there are some nice instances. Like sending her home, our dates and stuff. Hmm, I wonder what happened to that valentine's Day rose I gave her? Haha I remember that day now after I had read the particular post. It's was a saturday and it was valentine's day. Just finish Training my NCC cadets and decidedly to meet up with her in poly (I think she was having some extra classes or curriculum) So there I was decked out in my smart No.3 uniform, because I remember her telling me she like a guy in uniform (Kinda cliche' i know right?) Brought a stalk of rose and presented it to her in the middle of Food Court 3 in front of her friends. Haha... it was a pretty embarrassing moment for both of us with the stares from the onlookers. But it was a good day :)

My TKD brothers and me at our favorite hangout place after training, The Old Clementi Fountain.
Top: Me
 Middle: Qaiyum, Mif, Usop, Hafiz
Bottom: Syahidin, Hairoul

Moving on... I realized that I really treasure my guy friends a lot. The numerous post bout our hangouts and escapades brings back good times. Mainly because, I think not having any other male siblings. I treated all my guy friends as my own brothers. Munir, Hairoul, Mif, Hafiz, Syahidin, Ramesh, Usop, Bob, Qaiyum and many more. Going to each other's houses playing Xbox, the sentosa trip which we almost explored the haunted house haha, telling each other bout our BGR problems, Budget eating (we would actually go to supermarkets and buy bread and spreads and have lunch outside Plaza Singapura, that's how budget we were haha) and etc.

There were other post bout other girls though besides Liz. Let me think there was Salmiyati, Lina and towards the end around 2006 before I entered National Service there was Idza. Ah yes Idza... Funny story.

Post dated September 06, 2006. My last entry before The long hiatus...

Remember the movie, Love Actually? The scene about the the guy who was secretly in love with his bestfriend's girlfriend/wife and finally when she found out bout it, on Christmas he stood in front of her door and did those signs. So yeah I actually did plan to replicate that scene but to no avail. haha.

A few days before, I actually walked from Tanjong Pagar MRT station all the way to Town via Esplanade, bugis, towards little India then down to Plaza Singapura and lastly towards Orchard. Crazy? Yeah I guess so... dunno what was going on in that 19 yr old head of mind. I remembered Idza mentioning she was looking for a book bout some Feminism stuff regarding her Uni work. So I remembered going from bookstore to bookstore searching for that book. MPH, Kinokuniya, Popular bookstore tried it all. (Now come to think of it why didn't I try Bras Basah Complex? inexperience... haiz) Anyway for more details bout that route march  check out the post entry "Pre-NS routemarch from Tanjong Pagar to Orchard...".

But yeah I did found the book finally in Takashimaya's Kinokuniya. (Wow really the lengths I would go too to please a girl). Planned to give it to her on the day before I was enlisted. But unfortunately she was in her dorm... hence the failed love actually scene. Haha pathetic I know.

Well fast forward to 7 years later... now I'm 27. In University and still SINGLE. hahaha. I seriously need to buck up the love department. Anyway, I've changed. I think National Service played a big role in the development and also being alone here in Perth, I had to be independent, more like forced to grow up.

But I'm glad I had this blog. Reading bout my past self reminds me of my past mistakes and lessons to learn so that I don't repeat them again. And my priorities now are to graduate, get a job and hopefully settle down. But that doesn't mean I've totally change. I'm still the same shy guy among girls. The same fun dependable Syafiq that my brother's can depend on when in need or the same hopeless romantic that would go to any lengths to please that one special girl.

So yeah I'm still the same except older, wiser and maybe much better looking... haha (Sorry 18 yr old me, Center parting is sooo out of fashion )

27 year old me now :P

Guess I'm back to blogging?

Wow, last entry was like in 2006. Fast forward.... it's now 2013. After a 7 years hiatus... I guess I'm back. I don't know why but just felt like blogging.

Anyway, was reading my last entry and cracked myself up. Last entry was the day I entered National service. To be honest I don't really remember much bout that day until I read that post. Ha ha... Oh man the lengths I go to impress a girl. Tried to replicate the scene from "Love Actually". I still remember I was really nervous kept wanting to knock on her dorm door but my hand would just stopped short of it, then I would just sit at the staircase and calm myself down before attempting to knock again. Those were the days. But come to think of it, I'm still in contact with this girl, well on Facebook that is. Hmm should I try to re kindle the old flame? Nah, she probably doesn't remember that day even.

Viper Platoon 2 Field Camp

Let's get up to speed shall we. NS life was OK, not what I expected. Was posted to Viper Company. Platoon 2, Section 2, Bed 5. My "wife's" butt number was 88. After BMT, was posted to become a Transport Supervisor at Sembawang Camp. To be truthful I was disappointed. I was at least expecting to be sent to SISPEC if not OCS. I guess I couldn't fulfill both our dreams Dad, Mianhe. Now let's pressure my son then to enter OCS.... *evil laughter*. Nah just kidding. Doesn't matter where he ends up as long as he does his best. OK FUTURE SON, If you happen to read this It's ok if you don't enter OCS or Sispec. Even if you become Rifleman or Driver. I'll still be proud of you.

Transport Supervisor course Exercise "Underslung" 

After I ORD-ed started a new chapter in life when I worked part-time at Toys R us. Which I didn't know would last till 4 wonderful years. Met and work with lots of wonderful people. Build myself up from a complete noob to someone the managers trust and so called "mentor" to the new younger staffs. Which I'm rather proud off. Enjoyed myself too much that I almost though of making it a career. Until I got an earful from my bosses. Don't get the wrong idea. I wasn't getting scolded for some mistake I did, rather I was being scolded for actually considering working at Toys R us permanently. I had too much of a bright future with my Engineering degree(Pending) and all to waste it on TRU. Thanks Zul and Eddie for that earful, felt like Manchester United players getting the hairdryer treatment from Sir Alex haha.

My Last day working at Toys R Us. Got Shrinkwrapped!!!

In between working at TRU, I started on my engineering degree at Curtin University in Perth. It wasn't easy to be honest. First time being away from home and by away I meant another country completely. If Australia was like Malaysia I wouldn't be too worried. I could just hop on a bus and go home If I ever miss my family but here in Australia how am I gonna do that? So yeah It took awhile for me to adjust to life here in Perth. The first 2 weeks was ok. Mainly because my dad was here with me to help me settle down and stuff. After that 2 weeks, the next 6 months was a lonely one. It's not like I didn't have any friends here, I do. I have Taufiq my long lost childhood friend. Who happens to be studying here in Perth as well and his elder sister whom took care of us. But it's a pity she got laid off and decided to go back to Singapore.

Ryan, Shab and Jamil

I made some friends in uni. It wasn't easy at first. Mainly because growing up in an Asian environment, we were brainwashed that the whites were pretty much superior than us. (TV propaganda). Plus being the quiet type didn't help much. But I managed to pluck up some courage and approached some of my classmates, using the "I need help in this subject" excuse to get to know them. Found out they were actually nice people once you get to know them. Willing to help if you need it. Ryan Pinto, Shab Hark and Jamil Mahmud. Thanks guys, My first 3 friends in Uni.

The Original four - Aizuddin, Hermie, Azhari and Me

After my 1st semester, God decided to throw me a lifeline, in the form of an ex-secondary schoolmate. Named Hermie Malek. We weren't exactly the best of friends in secondary school. Heck we hardly talked. We were not in the same class and to make matters worst, our classes we rivals. So I wonder how from being rival schoolmates, we became close friends? Wallahu a'lam, Allah knows best... But I'm thankful for that. Even if he had send me an enemy from Singapore, I would still be glad because it's a familiar face.

Well like I've mentioned I'm still pursuing my degree. The past 1 year hasn't been easy. Failures and breakdowns have been frequent. But thanks to the support from my family and friends, Alhamdulilah I'm still surviving.

Shan't rant too much or else It gets too boring to read. Will talk more soon. Time check 1.45am and it's pouring outside. Good weather to hide under the covers and enter dreamland. Plus I've got  work tomorrow. Don't wanna be late or else Kak Tini will be mad. (Shall talk bout my part-time job some other time)

Off to become a man

Finally the day has arrive... Tommorow on the 7th of September at 9 in the morning, I Muhammad Syafiq Bin Mohamed Johan will take my first step into becoming a man. I will join the Singapore Armed Forces under the enlistment act as a National Serviceman for 2 years. I have yet to know my company but all I know is that I'm in BMTC school 2.

Had always anticipated this day since young. Use to go around wearing fake army uniforms my mum bought for me from the nearby market, with my toy M16 which will make a "rat-a-tat-tat" noise everytime i pull the trigger. Since I didnt have any brothers or sister then, my only companion was my cat, Pipit. Would chase him around the house shouting "CHARGE!!!" or "FIRE!!!" or any other words from my limited Army Vocabulary.

Then in secondary school, I joined the National Cadet Corps. Finally had a taste of how millitary life would be. Wore my first official Army uniform. The "No. 4" or "smart 4" as some would call it. Fired my first bullet out of a real M16. The feeling was exhilarating. The recoil of the weapon against my shoulder, the smell of the gun-powder after each shot and stripping down the weapon to clean up the parts after the shoot. I felt lucky. Not many 15 year olds got the chance to shoot or let alone handle a real rifle. But all those we during my adolescence years.

Now, its the real thing. A real soldier. A protector of my country. A protector of my love ones. Most importantly becoming a MAN. I don't know to the explain it but people who go through National Service kind of go through a transaction, a transformation, its like during that 2 years, you turn from a mere boy into a man. That is how i perceive it.

OK enough bout the mumbo jumbo Rambo thing. I'm excited really. Some of you might thing, "Syafiq's gonna join the Army". NAH, i actually wanna join the Police Force. Its funny right. I join NCC and in the end all I wanna be is a policeman. Then why didnt I join NPCC you might ask? Well to tell you the truth I almost did. But you know how fickle minded the 13 year old mind is. I was seduce by the NCC, brainwashed by the Cadet Lieutenant then. I can still remember his name, Senior Cadet Lieutenant Kumaran. He was a nice guy. Look after us and train us and treat us like his own siblings. Maybe thats why, I chose NCC over NPCC. But personally I think its the propaganda haha. "NCC is better than NPCC".

Yesterday had my last outing with a group of friends. Initially, I had other plans though. Wanted to surprise a friend over at her NTU dorm. Any of you watched "love Actually"? the part where the guy did some signs in front of the girl he love but she's married to his best friend?
Well I actually wanted to do that haha. It was crazy I tell you. I didnt know what overcame me. Borrowed my sister's drawing block and wrote a few messages. But my whole plan backfired. She wasnt at her dorm. Muhahahaha. The funniest part was actually going up to knocking her door. It took me 4 tries to actually pluck up the courage to knock. Each time I my hand would freeze just a few centimetres away from the door. And when I finally did knock, nobody answered. "KWANG KWANG KWANG" she's not home. So there goes my plans for the day. Left a note with her friend and went home. Surprise-surprise, Grandma came to visit. So spent a little time with her. Sent her home later in the evening and went to meet a couple of friends at the nearby coffeeshop. Zulhakim, Azrul, Fidi and Fizz. Fidi had to go off early coz of work. So the four of us, Zul, Az , Fizz and me talked bout off time over Milo dinasaur and fries. Azrul had just pass out of BMT earlier that day so he gave me and Fizz some tips. By the way Fizz is entering at the same time as me. Zul has yet to receive his letter. So after talking, we decided to head down to Taman Jurong Superbowl for a game of bowling, after which we had ice cream at the nearby McDonalds.
It was almost 2.30am when I reached home. Woke up late this morning. Double check my bag and make sure everythings packed and ready to go tomorrow. and here I am updating What would me my final entry of my adolescene life haha. Will try to update once in awhile when I book out during the weekends.

So thank you all for your encouraging words, good luck messages and miss you messages. I would still bring in my handphone but will ony switch it on at night. So if I dont reply your messages, I'm sorry in advance. Update me bout the outside world will ya guys? oh most importantly UPDATE ME BOUT THE EPL!!!! (someone offered to do that actually, thank you, you know who you are)

So farewell my fellow blogger readers... Till next time(I wonder when is that?)

Pre-NS routemarch from Tanjong Pagar to Orchard......

Hey all, as you all know. I've only 5 days left till bye bye pink IC and hello 11-B. Yes the day where all young male Singaporeans turn into MEN. 7 Sept is the date and 9am is the reporting time. So if any of you wanna leave any "bye bye, im gonna miss you" or "Go!!! and dont come back" messages please do so by the 6th.

Anyway to today's event, call me crazy, stupid, goondu or watever word related to insane but I walked from Tanjong Pagar all the way to Orchard road. So ok ok some of you will say "easy what!!! very near". Well lets just say I took a longer route.....



My journey started off at Tanjong Pagar MRT station. Dress in a white t-shirt and jeans, arm with my trusty Timbuk2 sling bag and not so trusty Mp3 player(I'll come to that non-trusty part later), I head down towards "GB building" to collect some gift pack for my parents from AXA insurance. After collecting the stuffs. Was contemplating whether to head home or maybe do a little sight-seeing(wasn't really litte but alot). The initial plan was to met up with a friend of mine but he was kinda busy so its just me myself and I.



Headed towards MPH which was along "Robinson Road". Browse thru a few books. Msg a friend and after awhile head off towards "Lau Pa Sat". From "Lau Pa Sat", I headed to Raffles Place MRT station and it was here that I made my decision at a fork. Left to Raffles MRT which means home or Right to "one Marina Boulevard". Being the adventure cum curious type, I head right.



Came out of "One Marina Boulevard" only to be greeted by contructions. Not much scenary. So I walked along "Collyer Quay Road" past the now deserted and under-construction "Clifford Pier". So I press on. walk along the river towards "One Fullerton" and guess who I met?



Good old Merlion, spitting litres and litres of water into the river. You may think, I'm a little "Jakun" or excited. But to tell you the truth. In all my 20 years. I've never really travel around Singapore much. So I dunno what is where or let alone seen the Merlion from such a close vicinity. Usually I would just look at him/her from the esplanade across the bank. Ok back to the story...

After bidding farewell to Merlin(thats what I named the Merlion), Walk across the Anderson bridge to a path called "Queen Elizabeth Walk". God knows why they name that walk after the Queen of England. But I guess it has got something to do bout the time she came to visit. Walk pass the "Padang" and "Parliment house" and turn right into "Esplanade".

So it was here that my Mp3 player ran out of batteries(thus the not-so-trusty) and I kinda ran out of cash to buy extras. So I took a short rest here along esplanade. Took a sip of water and watch some band setting up for tonight's performance.



After resting I head down to "City-link mall". Pit stop at "MPH" and "HMV". After which I head out towards "Raffles City". After "Raffles City", Walk along "North Bridge Road" and found out where "Raffles Hotel" is (Yes I didnt know where Raffles Hotel was, so laugh if u want too). Press on and found out the location of the new National Library (Yeah laugh again if u want 2, I didnt know bout this either).



Reached "BUGIS". Head up to Kunikuya(or something like that) bookstore browse thru a few books and comics. After I got bored, I decided to head back down to town. Unfortunately, with my limited knowledge of the Singapore map, I went the wrong direction. Headed to wards "Sim Lim Square" by cutting thru "Bugis village".



Even after I had past "Sim Lim Square", I headed straight ahead and found myself at "Rochor Canal Road" just opposite "Tekka Mall" any further I would have hit "Bukit Timah". It was then that I realise how far I had walked!!!

Pit stop at "Little India Mrt station". Found a map and I tried to get my bearings right again. So backtrack to "Rochor Canal Road" and slip into "Selegie Road". OK now im back into familiar territory. Pass the old "Rex theater", stop by "Parklane Shopping Mall" to check out some comics and made a right at "Prinsip Street" out into "Orchard Road".



Pass "Cathy building". Pass "PLaza Singapura". Pass the "Istana", oh I saw the "royal guards" change shift and a car being inspect before going into the "Istana", pretty cool shyte. After that it was all the way up Orchard road.



Time check it was already 6pm. Stop by "Al-Falah mosque". Did my almost overdue late afternoon prayers and final pit stop at Taka's Kunikuya. Found some stuffs I was looking for and by then It was already time for evening prayers. Head back to "Al-Falah". Rest for awhile at the mosque and since it was already past 7pm, I guess its wise to head home now.



So there you have it. My Pre-NS route march from Tanjong Pagar all the way to Orchard Road. But I didnt really head home. Drop by SP for some TKD training. Muhaha. Crazy I tell you. If my legs could talk, I guess they would be cursing and swearing by now.

After that long walk kinda realise how small Singapore is. Probably the reason why I didnt feel tired was that I was kinda enjoying myself. Saw places I didnt knew existed. Found out where Raffles Hotel and The National Library is. Saw the different walks of life. From the Japanese tourist at the Merlion to the Chinese at Albert street to the Indians at Tekka Mall and of course the malays and other races all over Orchard Road. I guess it wasnt a wasted day after all. I've learnt loads of stuffs and guess what, my dad got lost once when he was young and he too walked along Padang, pass Clifford Pier. But he walked along Shenton way down towards Harbour Front, back home at, I cant remember the name of the street he was staying at. But still the similarity of us walking great distances and using Public transport as our guide was overwhelming. (I use the MRT as a guide as where I should move next while my dad had to rely on the buses). Like Father Like Son I guess.....

So here I am after a loooooooooooooong days walk. Updating my blog, feet feeling alittle numb after all those walking, feeling alittle sleepy also. I guess Thats all for now. I'll try to update before the 7th. Probably thats gonna be the the last for now. Won't be updating so often (as if i was updating everyday). So yup. Take care all and good nite... ciao

EPL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey Football season is back and MAN UNITED started the season with a BANG!!!!!! 5-1 trashing of Fulham. Haha I couldn't have been more happier.... Liverpool and Arsenal draw. But Chelski beat Man city 3 nil. Nevermind we still top the table...for now haha...

Ok ok before I go on yapping bout football and what nots... I wanna wish 2 of my dear friends Happy birthday. Liza and Mamat both from Singapore poly. Happy birthday guys wish you all the best in the coming years and stay happy always....

Next, Rooney and Ronaldo were fantastic man. They look lethal together. Forget the incident in WC2006. Here comes the ROONALDO EFFECT!!!! Fantastic I tell you. I have a feeling its gonna be a good year this year. But pity Rooney and Scholes will have to sit out the next 3 games. DAMN. Dad said something bout Rooney has matured, instead of usually smashing the ball into the net he choose to place the ball. Haha I dunno bout the mature part but ya i notice he place the ball for both his goals last night but he still looks as Rooney as ever to me.

It just burns me up to see a favorite player playing in a team you don't really fancy much. Why you have to go become a blue Sheva? I've been a long admirer of Shevchenko. Seeing him in a Chelsea shirt just burns me up all the time... But nonetheless he's still one of the best...
That new Chelsea guy name Kolou or something like that, He's good man. A lot of potential. Essien's improving.

ITS GONNA BE A GREAT SEASON but damn im going tekong in 2 weeks time. Eh but weekend still can watch football, but I'll be damn tired man to stay up and watch... haiz we'll see we'll see...

Lastly, its funny how songs can effect you in many ways. Few days ago I wasn't really feeling too good. No im not sick. Something happen lah but I dont wanna talk about it. Its probably something stupid. Anyway, Munir and I were exchanging songs. I'm kinda in the old-shool malay rock/jiwang genre nowadays. Was searching for songs from Dinodi when Munir said not to listen to Dinodi's Cinta tragika. Well being curious, the more you said no, the more I want to hear it. So yeah listen to it and woah the lyrics hit me like a locomotive. That night I couldn't sleep.

The next day, again we are back exchanging songs. Cinta tragika was playing on repeat on my player non-stop. Till Munir suggested I listen to XPDC's Apa nak di kata. He said the lyrics would suit me very well. So I listen to it and haha, my mood zoom up faster than you could say "supercalafragalisticexpealadocious" haha. OH and yes I kinda took a liking to the lyrics and I guess XPDC is now officially one of my favorite bands.

So too all thos girls out there, whom I have gone after. Whether I succeed or not, well this song just sums it all up lah eh......

XPDC

Apa Nak Di Kata

Satu hari aku berjumpa
Cik mek molek jual bunga
Senyuman manis menarik hati
Gugur bagaikan jantung ini
Siapa hati tak tertawan
Manis umpama bulan

( 1 )
Lain hari aku kembali
Ingin beli bunga lagi
Namun kini hanya yang ada
Tinggal dua nisan saja
Lesu aku menggeletar
Rakus jiwa ku terbenam

( 2 )
Engkaulah emas engkau permata
Aku cuma macam ni saja
Aku mahu bertemankan hidup
Dengan hati ikhlas mulia
Jangan melihatkan gaya
Nanti kita 'kan berdamai

( korus )
Ukuran baju badan sendiri
Kita tepuk dada ini
Jika dah nasib kita jodoh
Gunung tak lari ke mana
Apa nak kisah mahu hidup
Asal hati baik mulia
Kalau dah memang jadi mungkin
Apa lagi nak dikata

Di kata... aaa... aaa...

( ulang 1, 2, korus, korus )

sekian terima kasih.....cheers

Kau Ilham ku by Man bai

Kau Ilham Ku

Beribu bintang dilangit
Kini menghilang
Meraba aku dalam kelam
Rembulan mengambang
Kini makin suram
Pudar ilhamku tanpa arah

Sedetik wajahmu muncul
Dalam diam
Ada kerdipan ada sinar
Itukah bintang atau rembulan
Terima kasih kuucapkan

(Chorus)
Izinkan kumencuri bayangan wajahmu
Izinkan ku mencuri khayalan denganmu
Maafkanlah oh...
Andai lagu ini
Mengganggu ruangan hidupmu
Kau senyumlah oh...
Sekadar memori
Kita di arena ini
Kau ilhamku
Kau ilhamku...

Izinkan kumencuri bayangan wajahmu
Izinkan ku mencuri khayalan denganmu
Maafkanlah oh...
Andai lagu ini
Mengganggu ruangan hidupmu
Kau senyumlah oh...
Sekadar memori
Kita di arena ini
Kau ilhamku

Happy national day and a chalet worth a thousand chalets.....

Hehe sorry for the loooooooong absent. Seriously I got nothing to blog about. OK lets start of with 9th August, National day...

Singapore just turn 41. Spend the whole day at my aunt's place, well former place that is, but she haven't surrendered her keys yet so we could still have access to the place. The place was right next to kallang MRT, block 6, 15th floor. The view from her corridor was SPECTACULAR. If a picture could say a thousand words, this view could say a billion sentences. Had a little feast indian rojak, kambing soup, fried noodles, curry and many more. Abang Hamsa also came down. So it was double the fun. The highlight of the day was the aerial display. The fly past, the Red lions and of coz the fire works. It was beautiful. no wait it was more than beautiful. No words would describe the athmosphere.

But throughout the whole time, I was half expecting YOU to come down. But you didnt. Well if you had it would have been a better evening.....

Thats it for national day so lets fast forward to 11th August, Chalet worth a thousand chalets.

Woke up blardy early to meet up with Munir at Bedok interchange. Went for friday prayers at kampung Siglap mosque then walked down to the Former costa sands chalet. We were the only ones there. So we got the whole chalet to ourselves till evening. Munir brought along his Xbox but the blardy TV wasn't compatible. What a waste. So We end up playing Srabble till the others came. Jun and Reyza came next, in the middle of Smallville. Soon the rest came one by one. Had dinner at the former satay club place. Then the fun started. Played cards and the loser had to be kuti-ed on the fingers. It was fun but blardy painful at the same time. Next we played the most competitive Monopoly I've ever seen man. Started around 8plus and played till the around 7-8 in the morning. Reyza manage to control the whole board and the rest of us end up bankrupt haha. I manage to catch a few hours of sleep. Then we ordered breakfast from Old Mcdonalds. Showered and we head down to play pool. But unfortunately all of us we blardy sleepy and tired to even play properly. We were so tired that we took a cab back to the chalet.

All of us slept. Except Munir and Amin. Jun, Ibrahim and Ning woke up soon after. Reyza and me we still sleeping. It was then that Jun and the rest decided to "sabo" Reyza. Poor guy was covered in toothpaste and powder. I woke up and almost burst out laughing. Reyza woke up hours later. The moment we all saw him walk down the stairs. All started laughing.

So that evening was the BBQ cum Ahmad's birthday party. More of our friends came around 9-10plus and YOU came too. But you looked tired man plus I tried to stike up a conversation with you, you seem distracted. Nvm back to the BBQ..

Ahmad was "sabo-ed" right after he cut his cake. Soon almost everyone was covered in cake and drenched in syrup. cleaned up, ate and everyone sat down for a game of UNO. It was the biggest game of Uno I've ever played. 15 plus people. But it was blardy fun ah... Again most of us didnt sleep till around 5am. Then slowly some gave way and slept. I too manage to catch a few more hours. Woke up at 8 before everyone else and showered first since we have to check out at 1030. After every one was awake and showered. Clean up the leftovers from last night and everyone left.

I thought this was the perfect opportunity to talk to you since we will be going the same direction back to boon lay. But you decided to go back to a friends place. Well anyway the fatigue was catching up on all of us so I guess it wont be much of a conversation either.

I took the bus 30 home from Bedok all the way to Boon lay interchange. Sat in the upper deck all the way in the back and slept the whole journey home....

Reached home around 1plus. Dump my dirty laudry in the washing machine and flop I slept again till dinner time. Manage to catch the Community shield, Liverpool beat Chelsea 2-1 and went to bed again.

So woke up this morning. Body still aching abit. Fingers still trobbing from all the "kuti-ing", looks a bit swollen though haha and here I am updating me blog.

What a weekend and not forgetting I still got a month left till I leave for Tekong.
To all those who went for the chalet. Thanks guys I had a blast. WE should do another one in the future.....

I guess thats all for my weekend... Im hungry, I wonder whats for lunch.... ciao for now....

Updates

Syarah's ok now. It was around 5 that I check the temp again. 37.8 degress. So yeah her fever has goen down and guess what, she's complaining of stomachache. Told her to eat something since she didnt eat lunch coz she was sleeping.

Mum came home and took her to the doctor. Manage to get an MC and dad brought home durians. haha. But Syarah seems ok after seeing the doctor. Back to her nomal self, even ate durians. Since she was having a fever, didn't want her to eat the durians as they can get pretty heaty. Mum and dad didnt object so I shut up.

Nothing much after that. Showered after dinner, played a little xbox and here I am updating my blog. I guess this is gonna be all...

Fever

Was woken up around 11 by the phone ringing. Apparently, Syarah wasn't feeling well so had to go pick her up from school. No one was home. Mum had set off early to visit grandma in the hospital. Took a quick shower and rush down. Found out that Dad too had rush down. He was having lunch break so he came to sent Syarah and me home.

Time: 1pm
Temp: 39.4 degrees

So yup officially she's having a fever. Called mum for directions which med to give her. If you could listen to my mum belting out the names of the different types of fever medication, you would have thought she was pharmacist haha. So yeah gave Syarah her fever med and now she's sleeping. Will probably check her temp again when she wakes up.

Looks like I won't be going to the hospital today. I wonder how's grandma doing.
I guess thats all for now. I'm hungry. Just realise I haven't had lunch. Olrite off to find food ciao...

oh NTU, oh NTU, what should I do?

Followed a few of my friends to NTU today to check out their hostels. Pretty cool I must say. Living alone with your buddy, without any parental guidance haha. How I wish I could do that. Well first things first I've yet to be accepted by NTU. Another thing, I live too damn close to NTU to be living in a hostel. Nevermind I'll won't stop appealling until they do accept me or the police come knocking on my door issuing a warning to stop stalking the Dean of administration. Had lunch there, practically I spent half the day there. Went home around 6plus.

Had dinner played a little xbox and here I am updating my blog. Nothing interesting to blog either. Just updating for the sake of updating that's all...hope something intersting happens soon...

P.S.
Nenek is in the hospital. Probably will visit her tomorrow with mum. Hope she will get better soon.....

Home alone

Mum and dad are gone for the weekend along with Syarah. So its only me and my 2 other sisters. Come to think of it. This is the 1st time I have the whole house to myself. Thats cool thats cool..... except I have no idea what to make of this new found freedom. I can't like throw a party. Like in the movies. I'll probably be grounded for the rest of my life if that ever happened. Maybe when I get a house of my own, I could do that.

So they set off this morning. Sent them off. The Idea of having the car for 2 whole days without restriction was very intriguing. But somehow rather my conscience got the better of me. I guess Im just brought up too well. Drop both my sisters off at Westwood Sec carnival and I went home.

So there I was, all alone in the house. I could even get away with murder and nobody would found out. So I stood there staring.....thinking....what the hell am I gonna do? It was no different from any other day minus the parents of coz. So I thought "why did I get all excited for?". Then I remembered, my intial plan to ask a girl out . No parents to object, I had the car. I just knew it was too perfect to be true. But as you guessed it didnt happened. Then there was plan B. Gather a few of my buddies and well movie marathon or gamefest and again it didnt happened. So now here I am without a damn clue what I should do...

Turn on the tellie and fell asleep on the sofa. Woke up pick my sisters up, back home and well did some spring cleaning. Had dinner and here I am blogging. Am pretty shag. I guess I'll hit sack after this.

Man and I tot it was every kids dream to have their parents away for the weekend. I tell you, Its no different from any other ordinary day...Well maybe for me.

Boring old Syafiq... Too good for his own well being... like I said, I was brought up too well... sigh....

Shayne Ward - What about me

"What About Me"

There's a little boy waitin' at the counter

of the corner shop
He's been waitin' down there
Waiting half the day
We never ever see him from the top
He gets pushed around
Knocked to the ground
But he gets to his feet and he says...

What about me
It isn't fair
I've had enough now I wasnt my share
Can't you see
I wanna live
But you just take more then you give

There's a pretty girl standing at the

counter of the corner shop

She's been waitin' back there
Waitin' for her dreams
Her dreams walk in and I begged 'em

to stop
Well she's not too proud
To cry out loud
She runs to the street and she

screams:

What about me
It isn't fair
I've had enough now I wasn't my share
Can't you see
I wanna live
But you just take more then you give

So take a step back and see the little

people
They may be young
But they're the ones who make the big

people big
So listen
As they whisper
What about me

Now I'm standing on the corner all the

world's gone home
Nobody's changed
Nobody's been saved
And I'm feeling cold and alone
I guess I'm lucky
I smile a lot
But sometimes I wish for more
Then I go...

What about me
It isn't fair
I've had enough now I wasn't my share
Can't you see
I wanna live
But you just take more what about me
It isn't fair
I've had enough now I want my share
Can't you see
I wanna live
But you just take more
You just take more
You just take more then you give

What about me
What about me
What about me

"Help me Obi-Wan-Kenobi. You're my only hope"........Yeah Bebeh. I'm Obi-wan. He's cool. but then again I would prefer Darth Maul. Gotta love the double-bladed lightsaber. But I want to be a good Jedi so can't have the "Darth". I actually went online to search for a Jedi name. haha and this is what I get...

"Syajo Hasin, Nahmazda of Panadol"

Haha weird. Anybody can make their own Jedi name. Here's what you do...

1) Combine the first 3 letters of your first name and first 2 letters of your second name
(e.g. "Sya" from Syafiq and "Jo" from Johan = Syajo)

2) Take the first 2 letters of your mother's name and combine with the first 3 letters of the place you were born
(e.g. "Ha" from Haryati and "Sin" from Singapore = Hasin)

3) Then take the last 3 letters from your second name and reverse them and add the name of the first car/vehicle/bike you drove or just make one up if you dont have a licence.
(e.g. "Nah" from Johan and Mazda my 1st car = Nahmazda)

4) add a "of" here

5) lastly the name of the last prescripsion drug you took. That explains the panadol i had in my name hahaha

Add them altogether and you'll get = Syajo Hasin, Nahmazda of Panadol. Kinda like "I'm Syajo Hasin. Nahmazda(title or race or something) from the planet Panadol"

From the planet Panadol eh? haha. Oh I heard mum calling me. Oh yessssss. She just finished cooking LAKSA..... gotta run bye
