My Friends as if a Big Family of Mine :-)

~The B706 - The Beginning of All Sweet Memories~

This is where everything started. This is where we encountered our fate with each other and this is where we deepen our bonds or even established a bond with new people. Ladies and Gentlemen, I present you the B706~~~!!! By the way,the no entry label in front of the door was obtained from Mid Valley Megamall's Fashion Week Campaign and what the label say is "No Entry, Unless You're Fashionable".

~Family Members of the B706~

And....Here's the most awaiting list of members of the B706 that's approved by me~ (seriously)

Nizam and Zaid: Both of them are my classmates who come from northern Malaysia,and so,they share the same accent with me~ Nizam and I always exchange movies since he downloaded quite a number of movies and Zaid often shows an image of Mr. All-Know~
They are pretty funny guys though Nizam only hang out with us mostly during first sem and even Zaid was actually not accepted by most of the members in first sem for his All-Know attitude and one more conflict with laptop,but he's well accepted during second semester and becomes one of the incomplete-if-not-present member~ Well done Zaid~ Huhu~

Razwan (aka Juwe or Faizal Tahir PASUM version): He's from another class but his room is near to the B706 (Our Loafing Room).He's from ASIS and living in KL and love to look for publicity in various ways (including spaghetti!)~ hua3 You can see that from his very own picture itself~ ;P He looks like Faizal Tahir in the eyes of PASUM students,and so that's how he got that label~ He's one of PASUM's 4-flatters and shows an image of an artist among his peers and love Dato' Siti Nurhaliza so much. Owh, he's also an Indon fanatic and always tries to speak other accents though every time he didn't make it very well~ Try again juwe (Razwan in kelate)~

Malin (aka Zulshamalin) & Pokmie (aka Suhaimi) : Both are from Terengganu Darul Iman. They are room mates and happened to befriend since primary school. Quite a nostalgic pair of friends, aren't them? Malin shows more of a religious guy image while Pokmie shows an image of a guy who is addicted to games,computer and anime when I first saw them~ huhu~ Because of Pokmie's interest which is very similar to me, we always end up talking about that stuff all the time~ Huhu~

Chai (aka Syahir): He is a class mate of mine and he's currently living in KL. Previously during his childhood,he was living in Kelantan,and that's how he got that accents. He also can speak Mandarin fluently due to his past education in a Chinese school.He shows an image of Amah(maid) to me~ hehe He has done well in PASUM from C+ in midsem for sem1 to 4 flat in final sem2 and I really respect him for that level up~ congratz amah~ XD

Acap (aka Asyraf): The only guy from physical stream in our circle. He lives beside the b706 (b707) and that's why he always hang out in the b706. I know very little about him.He's from Kelantan and quite a care-free guy when he sometimes can show unexpected response to some of our gedix(sort of bitchy like attitude) action, hahaha~

Paka (aka Zulfakar): Another classmates~ He's from Kelantan and he had been learning at religious school from childhood(same with me),nevertheless, none of religious image is shown by him~He loves to molest people during his sleep,which is why nobody can scold him for that! He's also a pro in digging
others secret! Beware if you happen to meet him, wakakakaka~!

Mad (aka Mamat): He's from KL. Not a classmate of mine,but he's one of the earliest friend that I had made during the early time at PASUM and due to that,initially,we often sit together in the DKU (Main Lecture Hall) with my other friends (not of the B706 members). Since he's classmate with Zuhe and Anis,that's why he often visited the B706,and that's how he became apart of us (though not consistently like Nizam). He's a guy that gives an aura of being hot or so was described by my friend and his reddish burning lips always catch attention from our camera man and every attempts to snap that lips were futile since he always avoids it. Not to mention that he's also so blur to most of our gedix conversation making him less associate with us but when it was time for movies or even tutorials,he was always there~ (Apip, don't you dare to give weird comments based on my intro for mamat!)

Den (aka Daniel) and Anis: They are best friends forevah~ Right Den? Muahaha. Daniel is such a person who's fashionista, shopaholic,and loves to take care of his lovely skin. Hahaha.Despite that,he's also a core member of the B706 since he's the one who supported laptop to us during our final semester exam and so,we're able to edit photos and all karaoke,movie,bla2 can be done~ Huhu~ But that wasn't all of the reasons why he's a part of us. Anis on the other side is a loser (in his own way~ ;P) guy who's so funny that his presence always feels the air with laughter and happy tears~ Huhu~ Both of them are from Perak though at different districts.

Mubarack Mamza (aka Barak): Hey,quite a familiar guy,don't you guys think so? Haha,this is indeed myself! Well,I'll be telling how my existence is something irreplaceable to them,without me,they are incomplete~! Wahahaha,such an exaggeration~ Well,I'm imaged as a witch initially by Razwan,and in the end,the rest followed to call me that sometimes >.< Afif's description for me in his FB is that I'm a witch witch over reacted response and super funny voice! Well, I can't scold him for being envy to me for my Celine-Dion-like voice now,can I?

Apip (aka Afif): He's considered as the founder of our group the b706,since all of us started to meet and befriend with each other at his room~ His tolerance towards our havoc meeting each time at his room and his willingness to make his room as our second home,second cinema,second karaoke box, second party side, second to almost everything that's apart of our life! Not to mention his bitchiness as well all the time,hahaha~! He's so thin that Anis sometimes compares him to our skeleton model in Biology lab as a laughably joke~! By the way, he's also from ASIS (like Razwan,Faiz,Pokmie,and Syakeer) and a johorian. Sometimes,he tried to use northern accents' onomatopoeia like "noh" and like Razwan, he FAILED! Hahaha~ As for other accents, he managed to speak them quite well,but I'm not other accents' user,how should I validate it? Huhu He's a good friend to almost everybody in this group unlike me (there's some people that I'm not too close with yet as of even now) which is another reason why he's considerable for the post 'The B706 Founder'~ ;) Owh,and he's also my class mate~ XD

Zuhe (aka Zuhair): He's Afif's room mate which makes him a potential person for 'The B706 Founder' post,but since he lack the gedix characteristic,that's a point loss for him,wakakaka~ He's from Shah Alam and due to his house being close to UM, when he held a ceremony at his house,he generously invited us to his house and all of us went~ Thanks for all delicious foods at that time Zuhe~ He also often do revision almost all the time when we visited his room and sometimes,he went to study at the neighbour room for the sake of silence environment since the B706 was such a havoc room! Hahaha~! I'll say that he's the group U representative in the B706 since aside from the B706 consisted of most of class R1 members,there's also 4 class U1 members (Zuhe, Anis,Malin,Mad) and 1 class U3 member (Razwan) and that concludes for about one third of the B706 members~!!!

Udon (Japanese noodle) (aka Amir): He's one of the earliest member of the B706 since his room is very close to the B706 (not as close as Razwan's and Pokmie&Malin's). He's also from a religious school (including Paka and me) and just like Paka,he shows no sign of originating from that kind of school every so often~ Hahaha~ He's a very good friend indeed to me and sometimes,he does have a laser mouth which can easily laser others feeling down to ash! Despite that,he'll amend for it when he becomes a good listener of yours when you have problems. He loves to dig for others secrets and he believe that he's a good secret keeper since so many had come to consult on him of their secrets (including me) and so far,he has never break others' secret to a single soul on this earth! (really? I'm not so sure about that,hahaha~). Anyway, like Pokmie&Malin pair,he's also from Terengganu~ We were told by him that his personality is so different from his school time personality till his friend won't believe a story about he going out for shopping at town when that friend of his was told by his sister. Well,in a lot of way,he's similar to me like how his personality has changed when he was at PASUM and he was able to be his true self (or true colour/nature) when he's with us. Owh,one more thing,he loves Harry Potter so much that his vocabulary for English is so much better than mine (Harry Potter is well known for luxurious style of language in it,thanks to J.K. Rowling~). He even plans to take B.Ed. in TESL for his tertiary education~

Paiz (aka Faiz): He's also a classmate of mine and ASIS student,so he and apip had already known each other from the school time,and that's explained to me why he's so close to Apip during the early time of PASUM. He's also from Johor,but different district from Apip and quite far as the journey will take 1 hour. He's the most cheerful person in our group, I supposed since he smiles almost all the time and you can see that as well from his picture here~ He's friendly to all of the B706 members especially Zuhe since most of the time he came to the B706,he'll look for Zuhe~ Huhu~ He's also a very sensitive guy because when it was the time for everyone to part their own way,he often cried indistinctly and even when we were karaoke-ing for the Parting Party and a sad song was played,he was so touched that he wasn't able to withstand the tears from flowing out of his gorgeous eyes~ Hahaha~

And Finally,I present you,

Shark (aka Syakeer): He's the only member of the B706 that I have personally approved who was not a student at PASUM,instead,he was a student from Centre for Foundation Studies IIUM (International Islamic University Malaysia) at Nilai campus (for arts students) and he was attending Foundation in Law at there. So,why did I approve him despite his so obvious different background from most of us the B706 members (All of us except him to be exact)? Well, it was because he often visited Apip and other the B706 members who were from ASIS as he himself was a student from there. When he visited Apip and the gang here,he took his time to know all of us members of the B706 (perhaps not all,but mostly) and he was well accepted and treated equally by us even though his visit wasn't that so frequent. Well, he's a good friend of mine and we became closer especially recently when I chat with him via YM till late night (till dawn honestly,huhu~).He's similar to Den in term of fashionista and shopaholic, and in fact,he's the one who helped me doing this blogging project for Day 7:Entertainment aside from Afif who totally helped me for Day 9: Brand. He's very friendly and easy to get along well with in such a short time,and honestly, I'm not so easy to become close to somebody in a short period,huhu~ He's also very ambitious when I heard him telling me that he plan to do double degree in Law and Business Administration (yes,for a double period of study) but probably will not since the time needed is too long, and he told me all of this when we were sharing our ambition with each other in our talk to dawn~ Huhu~

So,those are all members of the B706. I have never felt so happy befriended with people and become my true self before I met them, and hereby I'm most proud to say that YOU GUYS ARE THE BEST!!!! I wish that we can reunite in the future for the sake of tightening our bondship, and thank you again for being my friend at PASUM~!

Fabulous Tag

~The Symbol of Brands~

Is brand important to me? That’s a pretty good and intrigue question for a high hurrah teenagers like me. Well, for me, I simply like to say, YES. We can view the momentousness of the brand from different perspective which is either from the good or the adverse effect. Yeah, maybe certain people do think that brand value is not important, it is more of status symbol for individual, decently said it is social driver of having to fit in with the peer group. For me as a Muslim itself, will only buy name brand clothing whether it is Islamic or Western vein . But with my gender as a man, it would not be hypothetically as a problem as compared to the women.I go for brands however never undermine quality and value for money of the stuff. Frankly, I do think that brands will always be a part of our lives, either Muslim or not, but as a mammalian, or specifically under the genus and species called homo sapiens, we are inclined to buy them, I mean the branded stuff, as the companies are competent in their marketing strategies, making out this or that particular items are something that we can’t live without! Well, this may be influenced by our social interaction with certain groups that emphasize on the necessity of the brands in our life. So, brand means so much to me as it projected our personality towards someone, which in terms of ‘are u a nerd?’ or something more like ‘wow man, you look cool, we should hang out’. That is of course in terms of clothing as it is a physical stuff that wrapping our body and shows how branded we are.

~Brands in Close Up~

Hurm, first and foremost, brand can be anything. We can’t simply set our mind that a brand is just a clothing stuff and so forth. It can be simply said as OUR LIFE. Well, I do think that teenagers nowadays are more prone to technological stuff such as internet, handphone and all the gadgets that suit the teenagers itself. CELCOM, MAXIS and DIGI.Yups, maybe they are just service providers that connect all human being in the world. I mean, not in the world entirely, Malaysia only I suppose. But, they do solicitude about teenagers, by providing a very efficacious and succours package for teenagers specifically for students either in schools or universities. Youthclubs, School Of X ,Upax and blablabla , are the example of the packages that is furnished to us as teenagers shows that they are actually being a youth-caring brand. Despite that they actually didn’t care about youth’s sensation but only to make a lucreblueprint but still, they are taking youths as their part of the concern and make our life facile.

~Brands of Favourite~

I would assure you that my favourite brands are yours either. Why? Don’t ask me. Ask yourself. Do you ever think about what’s yours? Yeah, maybe you don’t wanna think because you don’t have any! But, maybe I’m wrong or maybe I’m just mumbling here. OK. Forget about that, yes, for me, of course it is about clothing. Why do I say yes? Because maybe some of you do think that clothing is your favourite. Ok, now straight to the point. TOPMAN. Yes. That is my favourite brand but not the extreme one. I mean, yeah, the artefact of the brand is breath-taking, almost suit to the soul of the youths. Maybe it is too modern and complicated in terms of design, but, it looks stylish and swank if you style it out properly. Maybe the design itself may bring a little bit of exasperate to the big-cute size person but then, I would agree more on the teenagers-looking design instead golden ager-wannabe design. I couldn’t agree more about that..

Not to forget about the brand of food either. I preferred fast food more. Not to mention they are prodigiously scrumptious but they are also made out in a blink of an eye. I suppose you don’t believe it entirely because if you do, you are dumb. I mean the part ‘ in the blink of the eye’ one. McDonald would be the choice. KFC would be good either. Pizza Hut is more suitable for family circumstance I suppose but I prefer Domino’s Pizza wherever they are available (they are not available in Alor Setar sadly enough). In regards to the McDonald, they provide a lot of choices which is affordable for a teenagers like me and no to mention their prodigiously scrumptious food. Yeah, mentioned earlier.

~Favourite Advertisement~

Nothing in particular ;P

~Brands from Religious Views~

About the religion on how it influences me on choosing a brand. As one can see, ‘quality’ and ‘price’, are strongly associated with ‘brand’. In fact, there exists a mental framework of quality vs. price when making a purchase decision. And there are other, clear, influencers in this psychological brand selection process. But what comes out is a lack of clarity with regards to ‘halal brands’.

Currently, we rationalise why we are using the brands that we use in our daily lives.

And one of the key reasons for that is because:

1) Half-assed of halal brands for daily use i.e.: cosmetics for men and women. It’s a category which currently has a few brands. But these are geographically limited. Whilst the need exists, probably financing, production and marketing logistics inhibit the existing players from taking their products on a regional and global scale. Yup, as in Malaysia itself, we can see how hard the companies from the international sector are very onerous to get the ‘halal’ certificate due to some perturb process to get them.

2) Varying disposable income ( if you don’t know the meaning, it can be simply said as income remaining after deduction of taxes and social security charges, available to be spent or saved as one wishes) of the global Muslim community: This is a key factor in terms affecting marketing forecasting and therefore possible business growth. Data available shows that the Muslim purchasing power is not in sync with the population concentration but just the reverse. Therefore current manufacturers have gravitated towards the centres where the available disposable income is high and where the Muslim community is willing to pay a premium for “halal”.

However, this becomes a deterrent, when we need to take the same product to another region/country, where the purchasing power is not so high and yet the need exists. (In terms of marketing, there are ways to tackle this).

3) Certification: The lack of a global halal certification or acceptance of one standard leads to the cumbersome process of having to obtain halal certification both in the country of manufacture as well as in the country the brand is being marketed. This often has acted as a deterrent to many aspiring businesses. This factor is as mentioned in the first reason which you know, the certificate getting thingy and some of the country do not provide appropriate certificate which makes them to have difficulty from doing business to muslims consumer.

4) Financing: In order to operate on a regional and global scale, financing for the businesses become a critical factor. However, Islamic Finance is yet to look into the overall Halal category fully, as a potential investment avenue. This has lead to businesses obtaining financing on a smaller scale and therefore restricted itself to operating within limits.

~Brands Source~

Well, that would suppose to be from TV,but I rarely watch TV anymore these days, so it would be from magazines,newspaper,friends and internet~

All-in-One New Malaysia

~Opinion on 1Malaysia~

Well,after our country was taken by the sixth Prime Minister, Datuk Seri Mohd Najib Tun Razak, he immediately introduce new concept/philosophy namely as 1Malaysia to unite all citizens and folks from various ethnic,religion,races,and background.

Personally, I don't really think of it in optimistic manner, since we have been independent for more than half a century already, but we still need to implement new campaign to unite all Malaysians. It sounds ridiculous when we are not yet in one soul and one mind even after half a century. Well, it can't be helped since there are various reasons for this, and I don't think 1Malaysia is good enough to amend to this flaw.

My vision of Malaysia in the next 5 years would be nothing in particular, really... Well, of course there are some development in progress like Wilayah Iskandar, implementation for the usage of fibre optic to enhance internet speed, and also the most recent plan from the Ministry of Rural and Regional Development to obligate every household to classify their waste deposit into organic and non-organic or something like that in 2013 if I'm not mistaken. Honestly, this is something that had been implemented and practised in Japan as far as I know, and Malaysia has only started to make initiative on it. Well,anyway,that would make an improvement in Malaysia for sure.

~Racism and Patriotism~

My thought on various races in Malaysia is it is a good thing since it feels like we're living in international environment with many different cultures,languages,foods and people surrounding us everyday as if it is natural~ Well, when it come about thinking of race or country first, I would not choose between them,instead, I'll choose my religion first. The two choices aren't really relevant and it only caused things to stir up. I got to say for those who choose race over nation, they are racism, and it's not something good to be practised in this multiracial country. Therefore, I would choose nation as my second choice after my religion. I know that for some people, they feel like choosing race first because of inequality right in Malaysia in a lot of ways, and I would like to highlight here about education. The existence of various racial school like Chinese school and Indian school will only separate the people from the beginning. It's not a wonder that they become racist when they are grown since they happened to grow in an environment that encourage racism. I also know that the existence of these school is for the sake of preserving cultures of each own race, but why such education can't be taught at national school instead? There's also another matter about 2 different pre-u programs in Malaysia, which are STPM and Matriculation. Both are obviously different in difficulty, yet they are treated equally in Malaysia, what an absurd thing. This is different in the eyes of world. STPM is more widely accepted by worldwide rather than Matriculation (although there are some that accept it) because of they acknowledge STPM as equal and at the same level as other famous pre-u programs like A-Level,HSC (STPM is indeed HSC but of Malaysia) and more. These are some of the reasons why tension exists between races in Malaysia. Although it is true that Matriculation is actually designed to allow more Malays and Bumiputra to be admitted in university since at past, there were hardly any of Malays and Bumiputras in university due to disqualification. I personally think that it is better to have only one system and improvise it to be well recognized by the whole world.

~World Perceptions~

Hmm,I don't really know how to answer this,but I guess people from all over the world still see Malaysia as a harmony multiracial Country. This is most probably because of during their tour in Malaysia, they had seen Malaysia as a country where there are a lot of cultures and different races of people, but still they can cooperate in a lot of ways. I'm not so sure if there's any typical 'Malaysian' stereotype since we are of different backgrounds, and so, maybe there's little common traits of us, but I believe there's that streotype like how Manglish (Malaysian English) was created~ It is only possible because we share the same nation and if we happen to have a lot of these common stereotype between various races in Malaysia, perhaps we can make people become closer than the way it is now~ ;-)

I would want people to view 'Malaysians' as the whole multiracial people and not only focusing on certain ethnic and race. When that time comes, that's the only time we really make it as 1Malaysians~

That's it for Real Voices 2 project, special thanks and appreciation to Youth Says for giving me chance to voice my thought in this blog~ See ya~

Entertainment as in Enjoyment

~Favourite TV Shows~

I have many TV shows that I love to watch and I would be running out of pages if I am to list down all of them here~ Still I'll tell you,I don't watch TV anymore lately,instead,I watch TV shows via computer~ My TV is just so outdated,it is a 14" and shaped like a box and compared to my computer with a LCD monitor of 21",of course I would be preferring the later~ XD

So,I will just list down a few of them that I really really enjoy such as Charmed Ones, Weeds, Merlin, CSI (any version,there're just too many), Bones, Numbers, Prison Break, Sabrina the Teenage Witch, Discovery Channel, National Geographic, Honey I Shrunk the Kids, Stargate and a lot more!

I watch most of them initially on TV,but I often miss some episodes which I'll later recover back by watching them on youtube or download them directly (not from youtube since the quality sucks) or even buy DVD~ Some of my friends also downloaded these TV shows, so I'll just have my copy of them~

~Music and Fashion~

This is the most interesting question of all. I am a huge fan of both music and fashion. Well, music is the food for the soul. Why did I phrase it in that way is because I believe that music has a huge influence on human moods. It’s like when you are happy, you listen to Bubbly by Colbie Caillat and when you are sad you tend to listen to songs like, Beautiful by Christina Aguilera or Jumping into rivers by Diana Vickers and be okay again right away! (This is my friend's suggestion) My fashion sense would mostly be influenced by my peers who happened to be influenced mostly by the celebrities and fashion magazines. However,I am not a fashion victim. Regardless of my friend's habit to buy a fashion magazine (namely Cleo) and I happened to flip pages by pages just to check out the new items, I will certainly wear it in my own way. And my secret is, to put back the last thing you put on your body (this is actually a quote from of the biggest fashion designers alive, I think he’s Alexander McQueen but-ah! I am not sure myself now!).

~Singers and Bands~

Well,I'm an all rounder in this field,since I love singers and bands from the east,but there are also some singers and bands from the west that attracted me~ As for the eastern region, it'll be YUI,Makino Yui,Horie Yui,Jyukai,Aya Hirano,Elisa,Rie Fu, Mami Kawada, and KOTOKO for the singers and as for the bands, they are Asian Kungfu Generation, FLOW, UVERWORLD, Back-on, Orange Range, Skoop on Somebody, Wonder Girls and more~

The singers and bands from western region which I am into are rnb singers and those who have great voices like Beyonce, Avril Lavigne, Taylor Swift, Celine Dion, Lady Gaga, Justin Timberlake, Kelly Clarkson and many others too which I forgot the names~ ;P

Honestly,I don't buy CD from the stores because of the price. So sorry to say that I supported piracy in this field. I usually downloaded them myself for the J-POP and K-POP songs and as for the English songs, I usually get myself a copy from my friends via bluetooth~ XD

~Books and Informations~

Yeah,of course I do enjoy reading books too since books can provide me with a lot of info I want and need to know regarding of my interests~ I am into entertainment magazines like Gempak and also some knowledge source magazines like Reader's Digest as most of its articles are very interesting plus the nice pictures in it.

Last Three Books that I Have Read:

1. Newmoon, twilight saga by Stephenie Meyer
2. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows by J.K. Rowling
3. Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince by J.K. Rowling

I find new information about entertainment that I like particularly via magazines like Gempak and also websites like Anime News Network and AniDB.

So that's all,credit to my friend Syakeer Sheldon for his help in this post, thanks syakeer~ XD

All of My Beloved

~Recommendations and Sharings~

As for the thing that I have seen (watched to be precise),it will be an anime titled Code Geass ; Lelouch of the Rebellion (R1 and R2) as the anime was very great to me in various ways. Actually,my first time watching this anime was when I was in the middle of sitting for my SPM exam and guess what,I immediately recommended this anime to 2 of my friends and they happened to watch it immediately! Haha,it was crazy for us to take SPM so lightly at that time, but the anime helped us to relax when we were so tired of revision~ Huhu~ Anyway,here's the plot from wikipedia for you guys~

The series is set after Japan's conquest by the Holy Britannian Empire on August 10, 2010, a.t.b. with their powerful new robot weapons, the Knightmare Frames, stripping Japan and its citizens of all rights and freedoms and renaming the country Area 11. The titularLelouch is a Britannian prince who was disowned by his father, Emperor Charles zi Britannia, after his mother was murdered, and has vowed to kill his father, the Emperor, and destroy Britannia. He gains an ability through the mysterious power of theGeass, becoming the leader of the resistance movement to fulfill his two wishes: to seek revenge for his mother and to construct a world in which his beloved sister Nunnally can live happily.

Next is thing that I have listened and have recommended to my friends. Honestly, I rarely recommend music to my friends since I listen to J-Pop music mostly,which is a total opposite to the circle which I belong to... Hmm,so the only friend that I was able to share listening to music with was my friend who's taking Special Preparatory Program to Japan in AAJ (Gateway to Japan) at UM. Well,obviously because he's going to study there that his interest bend to that side as well~ huhu~ Some of the songs was sang by Aya Hirano who was voice actor for the protagonist in the popular anime series The Melancholy of Suzumiya Haruhi. Her songs are so great that we karaoke-ed together~ I missed those times,really,huhu~ Some of them are:

"Hare Hare Yukai" (2006),"Bōken Desho Desho?" (April 26, 2006),and "Super Driver" (July 22, 2009).

Lastly,I also shared with others some books like Harry Potter (Haha,too popular till it need not my recommendation to make it more popular), magazines like Gempak and also Reader's Digest. Well, as for Reader's Digest,even I seldom read it,so it can't be helped if others also don't really read it after my recommendation,huhu~ As for Harry Potter and Gempak, yeah, they are pretty cool even without me recommending it. Anyway, all of them are very entertaining to me in a lot of ways like Harry Potter for the style of languages used,Gempak for the latest information on entertainment from abroad, and Reader's Digest for some extra valuable general knowledge that I was able to gain from reading it.

~Must See!Must Do!Must Have! List ~

Must See! - That would be Harry Potter The Deathly Hallows Movie Part 1! I can't wait to see the end of this popular series~! Even though the storyline don't really follow the novel that accurate, I still love to look forward to the scene and action that the movie is capable of showing to me~ Haha,can't wait for that moment~

Must Do! - I guess it will be studying hard and maintaining my pointer at above 3.75? That's too common and I'm bored to share this with you readers. So guess what, I'm going to diet by reducing more food intake,no,I MUST diet for my own health sake and I'll increase my jogging time when I am back to UM this July. I'm getting fatter by staying at home only during this break and I can't afford to let myself be that big if I want to wear stylish clothes and get ease when shopping for clothes! So I'm determined to diet for sure! Hahaha~

Must Have! - Hoho, as for this, I'll say that I'm going to have Sony Ericsson SATIO as my present for final exam this year! I'm waiting for the price to drop a bit more (last time I checked it was at around 1.6k myr). My current phone C905 will be given to my big sister as her phone is too lame~ Hahaha~

~Current Favourite Outfit~

Well,actually aside from this set of cloth,the one that I uploaded for my first post is also my favourite, but I guess this is much better since I seldom wear this outfit now,and I would love to wear this outfit for my next outing~ Huhu~ Anyway,this is the cloth I chose to wear for my last outing with my friends at PASUM and why is it? Well,simply because it is SO WHITE that I love to say that it also represents the pure heart of a bachelor (ME!) hahaha~ It's also great for insulating heat as white clothes hardly absorb and release heat,making it perfects for me who always feel hot because of this country's tropical weather,gosh! The hat also went nice with the outfit,making me looks more casual in the shopping mall streets~ Huhu~

~Top Gadgets I Can't Live With~

Well,that would be my Sony 4GB MP3~ I had it bought by my father when we were at Mecca Al-Haram during our pilgrimage as my PMR prize~ Ever since, I have been listening my favourite music via that mp3 before I finally owned my own hand phone when I was admitted to PASUM~ So,my second gadgets would be my C905 (or soon-will-be-replacing SATIO) as the cybershot function and the high resolution and quality of the pictures taken by this camera phone make C905 as a tool that I always want to bring along any where and when ever I'm going out so that I can record the memories all the way~ Other than those two will be my wrist watch~huhu~ I always wear it no matter when is it because I don't want to lose my mean of knowing what time is it at that time and though my phone also got clock, I'm not satisfied to know time through that way~ hehe~ Quite a choosy fellow you got over here~ XD

World of Communication

~Communication Medium~

The communication medium that I use the most including SMS,IM,Phone,Facebook,and Blog.

SMS - I use this medium when I'm away from any internet access,so I don't make it as my main medium for communicating with my friends. Some more, there are also friends of mine which I don't possess their number,which makes me harder to keep in contact with them. The advantage is it cost u less money for great comfort~ The disadvantage is that it is very easy to make a SMS without being noticed by others or even strayed focus to the surrounding. So this perfect disguise enable many students to text during classes and lectures which will definitely affects their concentration.

IM - Since most of the time I spent my time in front of the computer (during break especially), I always use YM-Yahoo Messenger to talk with my friends in a faster manner since YM don't really consumes internet bandwidth that much to begin with, and YM also allows several functions like photo sharing,file transfer and the most convenient is conference talk which allows us to talk with many of our friends simultaneously as if we're at the same place (yes,it is virtually though).

Phone - Well,this is the least use of medium for me... I rarely call people except my family and my close friends sometimes. As for others, I only call when there's a matter of great urgency (Usually during my study period only, I don't call any one since my break started to tell the truth). Phoning people costs us quite a fortune considering how long we'll be drifted in our conversations during the calling. Sometimes,it will also cause people addiction to chatting which will cause troubles like rising bill,disturbing people around you,and so on. Recently, there was an article where in a rented house lived by 4 students (women), there were 2 of them who were very addicted to phone which cause difficulty for other house mates to contact using the phone. These 2 also ran off without paying their expensive bills which caused the others to starve for the sake of saving money to pay the bills which weren't even made by them. These 2 fellows are really selfish and ignorant of others trouble all because of their addiction to phone. Let's pray not to meet any house mate like them,huhu~

Facebook (aka FB) - Now,this is a mean of staying in touch that I considered as the main. I often use it to contact with all of my friends whether I know them from my school or PLKN or PASUM. FB has made me easier to keep in touch with my old school mates who most of them are currently studying in middle east countries like Egypt and Jordan for various fields like Medicine,Dentistry,Pharmacy,and also Religious Studies such as Usuluddin,Syariah,and so on.

The function of recommendation let us help other friends to contact with others that we believe that they know as well,which makes FB as a never-be-alone medium~ Besides,there are also entertainment like quiz,games,etc which entertain us indefinitely~ Definitely FB is a phenomena that no one can escape from nowadays~ I believe so,huhu~ FB also helped me in developing my social skill especially when there were some people I've never talk to in real life,but in FB,the case is different~ :) The dark side of FB is firstly, it doesn't assure you complete privacy as it was reported that if we search for our name in google, it will lead to our profile in FB,which indicates lack in privacy for FB users. Secondly, FB allows some controversial group to be made and stay active and unbanned even though the group obviously cause madness for some of the ethics in FB and here, I'm focusing on the group "Everybody Draw Muhammad Day" (Na'uzubillah hi min zalik). They clearly show disrespect and insult to Muslim all around the world,yet they are left freely for the sake of the right to voice! This is bullshit and I'm not going to accept that bloody-hellish right! Sorry to use foul language here,but that group deserve every single nasty,foul,bad language on earth!

Blog - Actually,since this is my first time doing blog,I'm still considering whether to continuously involve in this blogging medium or let it ended by today. I love doing blog because it allows me to voice out my thought and opinion on various things just like what I'm doing right now, but it's also tiring to do this tedious typing and I prefer watching anime and drama over typing for blog, honestly, which is the reason I always submit my post last minute in this blog,hehe~ So, I'll see later if there's anything worthwhile to be made blog about~ The negative part of blogging? Well, maybe too open for people to voice their opinion? I am afraid that the probability (there goes my math mind~ XD) of people making a blog just like the group in FB isn't zero and although I haven't yet to see that kind of blog, I believe it is some where sneaking in the dark side of blog,huhu~

~Facebook in My Life~

Since I have been using FB,my life has gotten better and I don't feel that lonely anymore even if I'm at home all the time. FB allows me to talk with my friends to cure my loneliness which is something I'm very happy to tell you guys..huhu... In FB,I have almost 600 friends,but I don't think there are people who I even know them nor talk with them since not every one actives in FB. Still, I classify my friends in a type of list that enable me to immediately identify where I might meet them so that I will not forget those who I have never spoken to but I often see them. There is probability that in FB,I'll speak to that person when my mood is very high to socialize at that particular time (well,it's not something that always happen, but better than nothing though~) and this will increase my bond with people~ There are also people I don't even know them but they still add me or vice versa, and so I categorize them as others for the sake of simplicity~ In FB,it's true that there's an application called My BFF (Best Friends Forever) that allows us to classify further people that are close to us, but I personally think that it will hurt others feeling if they consider us as their close friends,but we don't.. So,I decided not to use that application,but still,there are people who I consider as my real close friends and to make use of percentage, I'll say it is about 15%-20% of my total friends who are actually my close friends, huhu~ As for how many of them I have never met before, that would be approximately 30-40% of my friends because I add people infinitely if they are of the same school or university with me~ Honestly, I prefer to meet people face-to-face for the first time so that I can actually get the so-called whole first impression on that person and that's very important so that we can predict how well are we going to befriend with that individual.

Work for $$ or vice versa???

~Important of Money~

Money is soooo important to me but not important enough to be made as a reason to cut ties between friends and relatives~! Don't you think it's stupid to quarrel about something that can be made easily? Well,there might be people arguing that money isn't that easy to be obtained and since I'm a student, I won't understand it till I'm working one day... That MIGHT be the truth, but I don't care, ties or relationships or bonds or whatsoever it is called are not something that can be bought, and therefore, having something that can be bought to distort the other thing that can't be bought, isn't the idea itself sounds so obvious which one is more precious? Enough with philosophy~! I think money is the key to having successful life, or actually, an ideal life of ours... To realise any dreams, there's cost for it and this is where money plays the role~ Of course by having a wise management of money only can lead us to such ideal life, and so this is where we must be wise like the sage-wolf Horo (Spice and Wolf anime series~).

~Source of Money~

Currently, I'm earning my allowance through posting for Real Voices2 blog and my employer is Youth Says~ Yeah,I consider this blogging as a formal job of mine since I get money for what my service, it's the same concept as in job~ Hmm,with a rather serious opinion, I'm not doing any part-time job though I do consider to do some during the next month holiday before furthering my study in undergraduate level in UM,most probably. During my study, I received my allowance from my father, though it was my mother who bank in the money~ Based on my previous statements, I insist that I have never done any part time jobs before...eh wait, National Service is also a service from me to the country and I did get payment,so was it considered as a job too? Haha~ One more job that I might have been doing is to excel in my exam since my mother always reward me RM20 for an A+ (score 90 above),RM10 for A and RM5 for A-. Note that the grading system mentioned is updated to the current SPM standard,huhu~

~Temptation of Shopping~

Usually, I didn't save up nor get it straightaway~ I'll wait for my money to reach the amount that

I need to buy that thing, though this sounds like saving up, but there's a bit difference. I didn't save

my pocket money in a significant manner,instead, I always wait for big fortune to come like cash

prize that I always earn from my result in exam or my financial aid by Zakat Kedah or Ministry of

Higher Education. Then I'll use the money straightaway before it is reduced to zero by my

shopaholic identity (not really, but sometimes I can't stop myself from buying unnecessary items

such as clothes if it was under cut down price or discounted).

~Work Ethic~

Well,with current living rates, I don't think any family without a decent job or in other words,a strong

work ethic and be hardworking in work, can have a standard life demanded by the world. It clearly

shows how important all those values to our generation where we must always secure our place in

society on our own effort. Yeah,perhaps....

~Global Economic Crisis~

Hmm,from what I heard from my father, it seems like the current economic crisis is the same cycle in 10 years that we earthlings got to deal with... There's no avoiding as long as you live by using money where in this century, it's not possible to do living without the use of money and so, I guess we just can prepare ourself financially so that the wave won't give us too much as a shock. Of course it did affect my family and I in various ways, such as inflation, oil-price hiking, all goods price rising and so much more nasty things, but it didn't really affect my outlook on the future because as for me, the future is yet unshaped and it's we who'll shape it (I'm quoting from some movie or book,

but I don't remember the source, sorry for the unreaching credit). Well, that's not all, the future can always be changed into the course that we want it to be as long as we're following the correct manual of life (I'm talking about religion and in muslim case, it is Al-Quran and the prophet's sunnah).

Three coolest jobs:

(1)President of a world-leading company

The reason is easy, he manage a big company that if there's something that's not supposed to be happen is to occur, he takes the whole responsibility. On the other hand, if there're nothing occur, he got to relax the whole time of his life span~

(2)Researchers

They are always the first person of the century to find something new, and they are always ahead of the human generation in obtaining knowledge, in other words, they are the first hand knowledger~ Sounds so cool to me~ XD

(3) Counselors

While they happened to give advice and encourage others all the time during their work period, I'm wondering what if they are in the same shoes as those they gave counselling. Surely they sometimes are in the same shoes,so for them to be able to be in the same shoes but help others to get out of the shoes, I'm impressed indeed~!

Three least coolest jobs:

(1) Corrupted officer

I had an experience being detained (at the road side only) by a police traffic officer insisting on my fault for not bringing any identity card when going at night and he exaggerated as if I am the number one criminal in Malaysia. After a long session of detention, finally he revealed his true colour by asking me to buy some drink for them (there were a lot of other police officer, it seems to me like they are ganging up just to leech out money from poor innocent public like me, damn them~!). So,after giving him 20myr, I cursed him all the way back home. Please die from the crime that you did officer~!

(2) Porn Star

I have a feeling that some might find it awkward to mention it in this blog, but my voice is counted in this blog, so I'm voicing it out loudly and clearly~! Well,since their assets are just their body and some repeated sex pose, I don't think they are even worthy of a single penny to be paid...

(3) NEET (Not in Employment, Education or Training)

Obviously, the state of not being within any of the three categories mentioned above sounds like a lazy bum to me. Since they are not even doing anything worthy, why don't they just donate their organs to those who need them to be useful in society? Haha,maybe it's too much.. Anyway, they are not contributing to the society in any way if they remain being a NEET... That's quite a failure as a human.. Hmm..
