For me, emo existed way before I was let out into this world, the early 80’s.

And Wiki confirmed (or rather agrees) with my hypothesis, Emo is actually from that era and not late 90’s. That explains why I’m easily swept off my feet when listening the old tune. And I thought I’m old fashioned.

Gersang - Luka Lagi [See post to listen to audio]

Correction to younger generations: Gersang means deserted, not horny.

I guess it’s true what they say; To move forward, sometimes you need to go backwards.

ps: Tight schedule ahead! I’m missing my daily coffee dose.

Yesterday, I bought an All-In-One printer (AiO). It’s been ages since I sought for one. The last one was BCJ-2000SP, a very famous Canon model. It’s still working but I never liked the way it’s oddly shaped, prone to collect dust.

So anyway, I started clearing out my desk to make room for the new found love. I scanned my old notes in the process.

Control System, year 2 Engineering, only 4 pieces of paper. I couldn’t find my ‘toyol’ a.k.a. cheat sheet. It’s only 1 page summing everything above.

FAQ:

1. Did your gf write them for you? No.
2. It’s so small, can you read it? Yes.
3. Did anyone make a copy? I think so.
4. Did you score the subject? No. I overslept and missed the exam
5. Why do you choose to compress the notes? Less is more, more is less, more or less.
6. The main reason to short hand your note. To save trees and be a cheapskate.
7. Exam’s over, why don’t you throw it away? I spent hours writing this, do you think I’ll let it go to waste?
8. Then go recycle! No. The memories intact is priceless.
9. How old is the notes? 6 years.

I’m glad I’m through with engineering, I didn’t like it in the first place.

ps: Not going to blog about my niece. It’ll only invite the get-married-lah-eddie! in me.

Before I delve further into this topic, I suggest you read ImamKhalid’s explanation on mufti. I will not echo mufti’s role to prove my point.

When muftis agreed to ban pengkid and yoga, everyone wants a piece of the shattered glass. Truth is, you are meddling with Islam and you have no rights to tell me anything unless you’re huffing my grass.

If you’re a Chinese, you do not want to be sweeping the house during Chinese New Year (it’s like shoo-ing luck), similarly, if you’re a Hindu, it’s wrong to eat cow’s meat. Both are equally questionable. But your views may differ depending on ‘what’ you are.

Now my question, do you see us (Muslim) object these traditions/beliefs scrupulously? No. It’s your business and we respect that.

For Malaysians, race has always been a sensitive issue. Any distinctive odor of racist will surely ignite their subconscious genes. However, religion is a few pitch higher.

You are free to question the role of NEP, English as education medium, ISA or why no Gardenia bread in Sabah. Anything but religion. Why can’t you? Because you do not understand what’s it like to be in this shoe. I’m not saying it’s a burden, but one must embrace a religion as a whole and not sikit-sikit to grasp the concept.

Unlike the PM, mufti’s words are final and is only subjected to Muslim. So please fellow Muslims, understand that, Fatwa exists not to suppress your freedom, but to distinguish between right and wrong. Like it or not, you have to accept it, even if you think it’s written by a pious nerd.

And to non-muslim, please hold your punches. You don’t want me to be fondling your ma and likewise.

ps: I may have raised my voice, I meant every single word.

Another site to note, Friendster.com. If you happened to linger about the web a lot, you’ll notice there’s many vigilante booing the social networking site. It’s ok to whine about it’s downtime, but name callings and cursings? Wow, you’d do that after serving you for so many years? Did you pay for their services?  

It’s like telling the Milo-man, who gives out free helpings to exhausted athletes, their chocolate drink looked like mixed stools. Yet, you ask for a second helping.

Read, FREE. Think a little will you?  

I guess it’s true, we really like to exploit free services and use it to our advantage. Just look at our parks, public toilets, phone booth, just how bad it ’stinks’? They exist (with cost of course) to make your life easier. I’m not going to be your mom and grind you to bits about civics-mindedness. For once, please be sensible  

So, any future Admin candidate for Negaraku! ? Let me know.

ps: Negaraku! is a U (general) rated site. Any obscene, bad stench and the likes will be removed without prior notice.

Quick question, why Chinese/Tamil is an option for UPSR?

Anyway I’m against this notion, English for Science and Math. This is a highly debatable topic. No right, no wrong, pure opinion. The aim here is to produce quality youngster who’ll one day thrive Malaysia.

English is THE lingua franca. If you don’t know English you can bid farewells to globalization. On the other hand, Bahasa Melayu is our National Language. Between these two, where you do stand? (more…)

Everytime someone tells me I’m popular, I’d deny as quickly as possible. It’s not an act of being humble, but to avoid deeper conversation into this petty matter. NH is a tale for my unborn kids of how their dad struggle and think during his early adulthood.

I have every reason to scared of popularity. For starters, you’ll have haters. KennySia has KennySai and DawnYang has her many lies. My hater will definitely be a Saint, he’ll be known as KomaPutih.

Popularity will eat one’s soul. The last thing I want to add to my attributes is snobbish. Although I can’t deny I am one, having more will disrupt the harmony of this shaken mind.

Ok, enough crap talking. Truth is, I’m honoured you took the time to read NH.

I feel kinda bad when people popularized me on their blog by putting up my url. Somehow I did not link them back. Not that I don’t appreciate, but I truly believe, if someone were to jump out of NH, I want them to land on a better blog. Not a crappy one that auto plays MP3 and takes forever to load.

For that reason alone, I ripped off the Lingo page and replaced with Linked. Adding links is my discretion. So please, no hair pulling is needed to be there.

I know you might think this is another geek hangouts, oh my, how so wrong of you. Our conversation was deep, cynical and anything for the betterment of the nation. The highly debatable topic was English as medium for Science and Math. Ok, you can say it’s rather geeky. (more…)

We’ve heard and read so many stories about him, online or offline. Me? I couldn’t care less about his campaign. Politicians, they all echo the same thing, Change. It’s the marketing strategy that grants you the upper hand. Obama went super viral.

Few days ago, I had a small teh tarik session. The topic varies from politics to jokes. One of the thing that pulls my attention was this statement.

Obama is the first black president, why can’t Malaysia have a non bumi PM?

The old button seriously needed an upgrade. It was more of copy paste job. Not that I was lazy, but because I couldn’t understand the whole mechanism.

Now that I’ve mastered the art of PHP and CSS, I built my own sexy ‘Fave It’ button. Designed to be super fast, http caching and most importantly, doesn’t look like some plastered girl¹ in spaghetti tube. I hope this design suits any blog theme, dark, bright, pink, guava green or Akon Red.

Negaraku! The Malaysian Social Bookmarking.

The idea is simple, find any character with “evb” and change to “evb2″. Alternatively, you can jump to know more. (more…)

Like every year, I’d look back and visualize what I’ve done and achieved. Management people call it KPI (key personnel index), Engineers call it benchmarking, Web Developer call it version-ing and Muslims call it muhasabah. Whatever you call it, it’s very important to justify yourself(or ego).

This year, I only met half of what I expected.

People say, “Kita hanya merancang, Tuhan menentukan“. I think it’s bull shit. If you failed to achieve something, it could either be one of this; you are not trying hard enough or you did not pray hard enough. Else, void.

If you could extend your mind a little bit, you’ll realize you’re actually blaming God for your misfortune.

Take for example, Malaysia lost against Vietnam (football). Can’t you just be honest and take the fall? It was never God’s fault to begin with. It could only be the two things mentioned above.

Next time when you stumble, don’t point fingers. Sit back and think, where did you screw up. Remember Newtons Third Law, “To every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.” It’s should be your best interest to understand the opposite reaction.

Enough philosophy. I was thinking of getting myself a MacBookPro, but I think it’s OVERLY priced at RM7999. The thought moved to Iphone, but since I only use a phone to call and sms, why would I need a PDA? Just to look cooler? Pffft.

I think I’ll get myself a dual screen pc. No more ALT + Tab move.

ps: I asked a cute birthday girl to sing me a birthday song in front of everyone, and she did. (Yes, we share the same birthdate).

pss: To everyone who called or texted me, thanks. I actually feel guilty because I don’t remember your bloody birthday! So the next time you think about wishing me, just skip the noble intention. I don’t need to be reminded that I’m getting older.

psss: Thanks SootSpirit for the birthday wish. Just so we’re clear, you’re still a fan not a friend, yet. LoL.

How can she mistook me for a pengkid? She must have missed the About page. Clearly, I’m a man. If not, you can kick my nut sack and see how I squirm just to clear the suspicion.I take it as one of our common traits, being too quick to judge. Seriously, bodoh.

ps: My guess she entered via Pengkid Hairstyle.

pss: It’s definitely a she, a guy couldn’t careless about lesbians, unless naked ones.

After the first few houses, I needed my daily dose of canned milk coffee, either Boss or Pokka, both would rejuvenate me. I stopped by a news stand. As usual, I’d flip a few pages of magazine with no intention of buying one.

Pardon my super sharp ears and my uber awesome eavesdropping technique, I overheard the shopkeeper telling his son to study, in Tamil. Though I do not have babelfish with me at all time, I could comprehend his frustration when he mentioned a few SPM subjects.

It’d be awkward for me to stay in a one sided gun fight, so I prompted for the owner.

His face was red and sometimes green. Could it be a mixture of horrid and disgust? I have no idea. I’m no doctor, but I sure hope to marry one. (more…)

I’ve removed all unnecessary and verbose codes on NH.  So expect fast loading site wise.

I was building an Ajax Chat plugin for WordPress, half way through, I gave up. I figure it’ll be much easier to outsource the script rather than building one from my exhausted rig. You can  see  try the Ajax Chat here.

Another thing you might notice is how I highlighted recent comments on the right bar. So feel free to gang up on each other. Let’s get this battle royal moving!!

ps: I will be an uncle in 1 week time.

I’m not actually a big fan of Hamilton. Word of mouth says he’s snobbish, but at least he proved his arrogance’s worth. Me on the other hand, have nothing at hand. Oh boy, let’s not judge others ok?

I’m a big fan of McLaren though. Having said that, I don’t gave up on the sport ages ago. It’s so frequent, it’s no longer a privilege to watch on my good Sunday.

I remember in the old days when Hakkinen was the KGB of Formula 1. I memorized every single track, every corner, every chicane, hairpins and the ideal speed, entering and exiting corners. I could even draw you the tracks.
