Wow.. I haven't updated this blog in a long, long time! InsyaAllah starting from today, I'll keep this blog alive.
Assalamualaikum and warmest greetings to all you readers out there. First of all, I would like to wish all the Muslims a very Selamat Hari Raya. I want to apologize for all the wrongdoings and sayings to those whom I've hurt for the past few months. This year's raya is much funner than I thought it would turn out to be! Also, in the history of eX!, this year we took our annual photo shoot just right outside of Jerudong Park.
Love life? Yes. To be honest, I am content - happy beyond my wildest dreams. I think I might found the "someone" I've been looking for. She may not be perfect, but at least I feel special and I intend to make her feel special, too! For now, we're getting to know each other better before we do take this thing we have onto another level. Both of us have agreed to not think of it - whether it happens or not. Syukur Alhamdulillah for this person you've led into my life, O Allah :-)
Anyhoot, I do feel guilty lately. I've been driving around so much that I only make little time for her. Honestly, I am afraid. Not of the time management, but of her feelings. I have no worries for mine, but I trust her - with all my heart.

Hi again!

Happy belated.
Hi! 1 week has gone by and recently, Aqel (27th May) and Aziz (23rd May) just had their 20th birthdays! Happy belated birthday to you guys! Hope you enjoyed your days with friends and surprises! Aziz spent his birthday at my place playing Killzone 3 together. Guess what? We finished the game in less than 2 days! On Trooper difficulty though, but watch out for us next time, Veteran difficulty. We will come back - HARD! As for Aqel's, on the eve of his birthday, we were at Tamu Selera. As soon as the clock struck 12, we sang him a birthday song! But we didn't stay for long because not many of eX showed up. Nevertheless, yesterday they had a surprise for Aqel. Too bad I wasn't there because me and my sister had belated birthday celebrations for us - plus, a water slide bouncer! It was great! I had great time with my family and relatives!
You know, it's sad that I only update when I feel like it nowadays and have not been visiting my blog regularly. Just so you know, I'm getting my driver's license soon. Right now, I'm waiting for the result of my written test. I sat for it on Saturday last week. Hope I get it!

Bayern Munich 1-1 Chelsea (PEN: 3-4)
Chelsea have done it yet again! They've won their 2nd trophy this season which is the Champions League trophy! That was a really emotional and nerve-wracking! When Muller scored the first goal for Bayern Munich in the 83rd minute, I thought it was all over for Chelsea - but I kept on believing that Chelsea could bounce back into the game and blow Bayern away. Fortunately, they did! All thanks to a Didier Drogba header into the top right corner having the #1 German keeper Neuer no chance to keep it out.
It went into extra time and Drogba made a silly challenge on Ribery in the box. Penalty was given to Bayern and this is the second time I thought it was over - BUT I KEPT ON BELIEVING! I clasped my hands together, hoping for a lucky save by Petr Cech. Robben was the taker and I had a feeling that he would score. Luckily for us, Cech pulled off a magnificent save! The ball slipped through Cech's arms, but bounced off his body leaving it unattended behind him. He quickly got to it and held it like a newborn baby! Chelsea was still safe, and Drogba is not the man to blame after such challenge. Everyone was looking tired except for the fresh legs like Fernando Torres and Ivica Olic, maybe.
Thus, both halves of extra time were over and it was then brought to penalties. First for Bayern, Lahm. He sent to the right side of the goal with Cech having a touch to it, but failed to keep it out. First for Chelsea, Juan Mata. Unfortunately, he didn't score with Neuer going the right and pushing his shot out. The second penalty taker for Bayern was Mario Gomez. His one went in too! The second taker for Chelsea was David Luiz. Remember his penalty that didn't go in against Racing Genk? The commentator mentioned something about that when Luiz was about to take it. Thank God, it went in. Way to go! The third penalty taker for Bayern was Neuer himself! I bet he was trying to pressure and shake Cech to lose his confidence and concentration. He got it right into the net, and Cech also went the right way, but couldn't save it. The third Chelsea taker was Frank Lampard. I've always believed in Lampard to take penalties. Great for the captain, he smashed it right in the middle which flew right above Neuer and into the net.
The next taker for Bayern was Ivica Olic. Unlucky for him, his shot was punched out by Cech! Super reflexes by the Czech goalkeeper! As for Chelsea, Ashley Cole was up. I had a feeling that he would score, and he did! He took it brilliantly! Curling the ball into the far left of Neuer. No chance at all. The fifth taker for Bayern was... Bastian Schweinsteiger. I thought he was going to score, but he sent to the ball to the right side of the goal, Cech got his fingertips to it, and it struck the woodwork! Unbelievable! Next it was Drogba's turn! The last and final kick of the game which could seal the win for Chelsea, and for the trophy, of course! He sent Neuer the wrong way and he couldn't believe it himself! My goodness! Amazing, breathtaking game! I bet Roman Abramovich would want to keep Roberto Di Matteo, interim manager for Chelsea after AVB, as the permanent manager for Chelsea next season! 2 trophies in 6 months. Amazing.
Here's the penalty shootout video:

Labuan Made A Difference
Just one night in Labuan made a difference! I miss the place already! Afiq, Bahrin and Aziz were the only ones with me during the trip. It was really an adventure! We had our uncontrollable laughs, long walks, weary legs, our very own GeezPS, cameraman and dedicated athlete. Thing is, all of us lacked sleep - and I bet we still do! I saw a girl who looked ALMOST the same as Lisa Surihani (Her name's Umiyul and she's a staff at KFC. I hope she's still there when I visit again next time. Lol.)
We stayed at Avida Hotel. Here's a quick picture of how the room looks like. Ours was a little bigger because we got the deluxe room - more like, sponsored. Hehehe!
Looks nice, doesn't it? The bed and the end table's positions are correct, but the not the curtain and window. When we reached here, we only had less than an hour of rest because in the room because we had to go to the sports complex for Bahrin's registration. We used a taxi, and boy, something funny happened in the taxi. Maybe the taxi driver thought Bahrin was Chinese. He was old. When we reached our destination and we asked for the fare, he spoke in Chinese. I understand a little Chinese, but he spoke so fast that I wasn't able to catch a word that he was saying - maybe "KWAI LE", but I don't think that makes sense. Or does it? Bahrin just gave him RM10 and off we went.
One word: EPIC. It seems like I can't go any further because the rest of the things that happened were exciting! Thanks for reading anyway, guys! I know it sucks that I can't blog about it all during my time there. Maybe I'll update bit by bit sooner or later!

You Are Perfect.
I had the most exciting dream yet about time-travelling! This is the second time, and this time, I was in my former school, St. Andrew's. It was snowing. It all happened so fast, yet I can still remember how it felt like to be walking around the snowy atmosphere. I was "dropped" in the school's hall. Some kids were running around playing tag and some were in a circle. My brother was with me. I overheard him in a conversation with a girl. (It looked like my cousin, but I'm not sure.) He was asking whether she knows One Direction or not. That girl yapped on and on about the nonexistence of this "1D" boy band. I got tired so I decided to find out about the girl that's always been on my mind lately. I went outside, drawing my coat tightly because of the cold, cold weather. It looked and felt something like this...

Saviour Of The Night
Hello! I'm sleeping over at Memet's tonight. Really sorry for not updating that much. Internet hasn't been "available" at my place lately. Broadband, to be honest, is such bore. Besides, it won't work on my laptop lately. I have no idea. (I have probably mentioned this in the previous post, haven't I?) Anyways, I'd like to congratulate Chelsea for winning against Barcelona at the Bridge in the 1st leg of the Champions League semi-final! The 2nd leg will commence next week where Chelsea will travel to Camp Nou to face the crucial Catalans. I hope Chelsea will defend as good as they did during the 1st leg, or better, maybe!
Well, I guess I should really update more so I could share what's happening lately. My birthday's in 3 days. (Just saying. Hehehe!) Thanks for reading, guys! Before I go, let me post the Owl of the Month!

If Video Games Were Real 2.
Hello! It's been a long time since I've posted up something new in this very blog of mine. Broadband connections rarely work anymore on my laptop. I don't know why. Well, right now, I am happily surfing the net. I'm sleeping over at Omar's tonight. I am exhausted! My neck is having some kind of pain, probably because of yesterday's match!
Oh! Speaking of yesterday's match, we won 6-3 against LCB UFC! I scored the second goal of the game for Cobra! The rest are lucky shots. It's all about the skills and timing. Thanks to those who came to support! Thanks to those who assisted really well on the field. You know who you are!
Maybe I'll just post up a new Smosh video which was released a few minutes ago!

I was really bored earlier so I checked out pictures of delicious waffles. I, somehow, stumbled upon a cool picture of a pair of shoes! Check this out!

My new client, Francisco.
We ordered pizzas earlier. I was in the middle of praying when my brothers came into my room looking through my games. I overheard them talking about "selling" my secondhand PS3 games. I wasn't at ease, but thank goodness I was almost done. I headed straight to the door to find... the pizza delivery guy. He was the one who was asking about whether I was selling my PS3 games or not. Well, thing is, I have been wanting to sell a few old games like Dark Sector, PES 2009, Yakuza 3 etc. (His name is Francisco, by the way.) I sold my Dark Sector for $25. He told me that he didn't have enough money to make the payment, but he did give me $10 in advance and will pay me the rest when he receives his salary. He gave me his phone numbers so it'd be easier for us to meet up somewhere. I asked him if he bought the game for his son and he said yes. He also said that this is considered a favour for his little chap! That was weird, but I am earning money so I thank Allah for this!

Cobra FC 8 - 2 HKM United
Somehow, the password to the Cobra FC blog has been changed! As for me, I don't remember changing it. Maybe I did, but I clearly do not remember! Honest! Anyway, here's about today's match against HKM United.
- Aziz Hanafi
- Haadi Mahari
- Amin Tamrin
- Afiq Taufiq
- Akim Khalid
- Harith Waie
- Omar Halim
- Malik Mahari ✰
HKM goalscorers:
- Unknown
- Azreen Shah
✰ represents the man of the match.
We played against them at our new 'Home' ground, Yayasan School field. I know we have no connections whatsoever, but I think it would be a great boost for Cobra FC for having a turf. It used to be at Pusar Ulak field, but that place, honestly, sucks balls.
We went home with a win in our hands today with a massive scoreline of 8 - 2! We drew first blood and unexpectedly, the goal came from volunteer player Aziz Hanafi (from eX!) who struck from close range inside the box when the defenders weren't able to clear the ball out of there. The second goal came from a delicious through ball by Afiq to Haadi leaving no chance for the marker to keep up with the speedster. For a non-finisher, he finished just nicely. A few moments later, Haadi was replaced by Fathul. The third goal came not long after keeping possession. Amin ran for a cross from Harith on the left side and was almost caught offside, but was safe. He calmly shot it low passed the goalkeeper's left side. Half-time ended 3 - 0. HKM United had a few chances, but failed to score from them. We really dominated in the first half!
Second half started and this time, HKM United got their long-desired goal since the start of the game. Malik didn't manage to catch the ball. It rolled under his arms and gave the opponent the upper hand to score easily. It wasn't long after that when Afiq scored the fourth! That was his 3rd goal of the year for Cobra FC! Substitute Akim came on for Fathul and steadily playing for only a few minutes, he scored beautifully! He was going to cross it into the box, but instead the ball swerved into the net, making it 5 - 1. The goalkeeper tried to keep it out, but he was too late! Maybe he also thought the ball was going into the box and not into the net! Passes carried out well from Zairul to Fathul to Haadi opened up a goal scoring opportunity for Harith Waie. It swooped HKM United completely. Actually, Harith Waie's goal wasn't supposed to be counted because he was offside. The ball bounced off the goalkeeper's legs and into the net. Omar's goal was awarded because the high ball back to one of the HKM defenders went through his legs allowing Omar to sprint on and finessed shot it which hit the goalpost and into the net. Finally, HKM United got another goal with a solo effort by Azreen Shah who ran across midfield and into our box. He confidently slotted one for the team! If he played for full-time, HKM United could've gotten a few goals already!
The last goal was epic! It was from our goalkeeper Malik! It was the last corner of the game and Malik decided to join the attackers in the box. The ball landed into the box causing a cluster of players to get rid of the ball, but it went in Malik's path and he managed to fire it past the keeper. He also earned the man of the match! He played full-time and even scored in the last few minutes! Full-time whistle blew and the match ended 8 - 2. Viva la Cobra! That game is one worth remembering! Thank you all for coming! Thanks for reading, guys!
HKM United wants a rematch in the future. We look forward to another match with you good sirs!

Chelsea 5 - 2 Leicester City
I'm feeling so happy tonight! Chelsea won 5 - 2 against Leicester City and is advancing into the FA Cup semi-finals with goals from Gary Cahill, Salomon Kalou, two by Fernando Torres and the last by Raul Meireles. The first goal got me fired up because it was the former Bolton player Gary Cahill's first goal for Chelsea! Salomon Kalou got set up pretty nicely in the end with a pass from Torres on the right side in a swift and immediate counter-attack. The next two goals came from Fernando Torres. The first scurry goal was taken blindly. I thought he wasn't going to score, but with a help of a good first touch, he managed to let the ball roll in the net leaving Leicester City's goalie Schmeichel only a few inches to save it. The second was from a Raul Meireles corner which let an unguarded Torres to easily flick it in with his head also, this time, leaving Schmeichel in awe and thought the ball was rolling out. I was hoping a hat-trick from Torres, but he unselfishly set up the last goal for Raul Meireles who was waiting in the middle to fire it home nicely. Leicester City's goals weren't that bad as well - especially super substitute Marshall's! He made his way from the left wing onto the middle and ambitiously tried a shot. Unbelievably, Cech thought it was going out, but the ball hit the woodwork and into the net. Daniel Sturridge also performed well, but I wasn't impressed. Chelsea could've bagged another 2 or 3 goals if he assisted and didn't try to score.
All in all, both Chelsea and Leicester City showed a great performance! It was really a fun match to watch! Fernando Torres was on fire! Now I'm watching Liverpool's game against Stoke City. I hope this will be a fun match to watch as well!

Futsal In The Rain.
We played futsal at RBA last night. Unfortunately, the weather wasn't that good. It was raining! Thank goodness that nothing bad happened to us. Not that I wanted anything to. A few thunders were also present to warn us that it wasn't a good night to play futsal - but we played anyway. I was shivering - from the tip of my head down to the tip of my toes. It was COLD! So cold that I couldn't even stand still! Nevertheless, the place was not so bad after all. It's cheaper than Meteora. In RBA, it's $40 for 3 hours whereas in Meteora, it's $60 for 3 hours, but I still prefer Meteora. Thank you for organizing, Syahiran! Thank you for coming, guys! I had so much fun! Thank you for sending me home, Zul! I hope each and every one of you won't fall sick! Thanks for reading!

Winners of HBT 2012.
Miss Perfect.
Let me ask you this; have you dreamt of your Mr./Ms. Perfect? You've never seen that person in your entire life before until he/she suddenly appears in your dream - and you think he/she is the one? I think I have, but the saddest part is that.. I don't remember what she looked like! This is how it went down:
I visited this place (I am not familiar with) along with my friends. We were all wearing cara melayu so I'm guessing it was somewhere in the days during Hari Raya. I don't know - could be in the past or the future. As I entered this person's house, the first thing I did was coming up to one of the tables and decided to gather food. And then this girl -- I still have no idea who she is -- she, somehow, got close to me. Too close that the sides of our bodies touched! It was like she knew me so well! But in all honesty, I've never seen or met her before. While I was picking out my food, she turned to me and listed out 10 things on the table. I can't remember what she mentioned though. As for the last thing, she let me choose what I wanted. I know this is a little cheesy, but I said, "I want you."
She laughed and I smiled. Straightforwardly I asked her, "Do you want to go upstairs?"
We were, somehow, "in the mood" despite only meeting for a short while. Yes, I felt love. She agreed and took me by my left hand. While we were heading up. I asked her a question.
"Are you married?" I asked.
"No," while smiling to me as if nothing bad is going to happen.
A few moments later, we entered her room and she immediately hopped on the bed. But -- we did NOT do it -- because I had a bad tummyache. I don't know. Maybe it was because of the food I was picking out earlier. I told her to wait for me while I did my business in the bathroom. To my worry, I was in the bathroom for too long until her family members came calling out her name from downstairs. Saddest part again! I didn't get her name! After a while, she finally came out and said, "Oh! I'm here! What's wrong? I was asleep.."
She was asked to go down. But before she did, she was looking towards where I was as if there was an invisible door and knew where I was, but it seemed like she didn't. Sadness and disappointment filled her face - and so, she went down. Her face... I can't believe I forgot her face! I wish I could re-live that very moment and look at her properly and gaze into her eyes one more time. (Not when I was taking a dump.) When I was done doing business, I went down. My friends were going to go home. I had to follow. At that precisive moment, she was in the kitchen. I approached her and shook her hand.
"Bye," I said.
I could tell she was faking her smile. She looked away. But not long after I went out, I came back there - probably to mend mistakes or something, but I was feeling rather bad. (For not giving her pleasure, I suppose?) I apologized, but she still looked frustrated. I said, "I'm sorry that this happened. I'm sorry that we didn't get to do it. If you would just give me another chance.."
Buuuuut, we didn't do it though. Eventually, I asked for her name and her number. She smiled and wrote it down - on a piece of receipt. (I have no idea why she did it on a piece of receipt.) I saw her writing it down, but when she handed me the receipt, it was blank! It's as if she wrote it down with a pen with no ink! But yes, I saw the black beings that she jotted! I couldn't see it in broad daylight, but when I held the paper against the light, I could see a telephone number and her name - STILL I DIDN'T GET HER NAME!!! Why is it always like that!? Sigh.
I hope tonight, I will be able to meet my 'Miss Perfect' again. I shared this story with Wafiqah on WhatsApp. She said that I was lucky because she never get dreams like that. Don't worry! I'm sure you'll dream a wonderful dream soon enough! Expect the unexpected.
Happy birthday, Nina!

This Means War.
Sweet sixteen! I hope you'll get what you're going to get soon enough! It might be a small or big surprise - doesn't matter. Enjoy being sixteen. That doesn't mean you're legal - yet! Two more years; insyaAllah. Well, have lots of fun today, sis! May Allah bless you always. I love you always.
I hope it's not too late to post this up, but...
Three birthdays in a day - wow! If the three of them knew each other pretty well, I'm quite sure that the 6th of March would be a BLAST! I hope you guys enjoyed your birthdays!
Yesterday, I went to the Mall with the guys to celebrate Harith's birthday. First, we had Pizza Hut for lunch and since it was Double Tuesday, it just adds more fun to it! After that, we went to watch a movie - This Means War. The ones watching were Sahrul, Zairul, Aqil, Harith, Ajin and myself. Syamini didn't come with because he went home early.
I'd give it an 8.5/10! It's a really funny movie! A little bit of action (they're good) and really great actors! You guys should watch it if you have to time to! After the movie, each of us parted ways. Hoping for another day like this! Thanks for yesterday, guys! Too bad his girlfriend wasn't there with Harith, but her being there for him was already special enough!

20 for Xbox.
Okay! It's been a while since I've visited my blog and posted something up! Did you guys know that my brother, Malik, bought an Xbox console from his friend only $20!? I mean, was the seller out of his mind when he priced it for $20??? I do not know, but we have an Xbox now and the games shall no longer be left abandoned! I was also surprised! It is still in good condition and the games work just fine! I've been playing Worms 3D with my brother lately. I just finished playing Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas a few minutes ago. I was going to play that game on the PS2, but I can't find the CD anywhere so I might as well play it on the Xbox! Next thing to buy?
Happy birthdays!
We have 3 people who have their birthdays today!

I Lack Happiness.
Something just doesn't feel right today. Something tells me that I am lacking one particular thing in my life - happiness. Of course, I am eternally grateful for all my friends who have been there for me and constantly lending their helping hands which are always provided.
Could it be because of the lack of money? I'm having a hard time with a small amount of money lately. It's like, you can't seem to purchase or play with anything without it.
Could it be the lack of proper entertainment at home? I miss having a PS3, I admit. Also, a strong wireless internet connection. If these two are available at home, I wouldn't be living life at home like this at the moment - bored.
Maybe, just because, I am feeling lonely and.. I need someone to be with. I am not desperate, that's for sure, but I don't know. The time has come for me to get up and find out.

4 Strikes In A Row.
I had a great time with Omar and Afiq last night. We went bowling at Mega Strike and the most luckiest thing happened! I got 4 strikes in a row! It was unexpected! I was only hoping for a Turkey, but I was given an extra. Altogether, I had gotten 5 strikes. I should have taken a picture of the scoreboard, but I forgot! Scores are as follows:
After that, we sent Omar home because we were still up for a game of pool. First to 5 and guess who won this time? Yes, it was Afiq. Game mode was 9-ball and the scoreline was 5 - 2. It was fair. I dominated in bowling and he dominated in pool. Hahaha! Hoping for another night like this!

RIP, concept artist.
Because of this guy, I enjoyed playing hours of Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas. Those games can never get boring. I can assure you!
Best Feeling Ever.
You know what? I just had the best dream this month! Guess who I dreamt of?
I was walking about when suddenly I saw a couple of security guards surprisingly surrounding the area that I was walking in. I saw Yana! She was in tudong! In fact, that was probably the first time I've ever seen her wearing tudong! She looked scared and she seemed like she wanted to get away from the crowd. I approached her (not too close because there were security guards) and did the camera sign to her. She didn't want it at first, but I just couldn't let that chance slip away - so I convinced her. Not long after I did, she agreed anyway. She let me in through bodies of security guards and the most unbelievable thing is that I got SO CLOSE to her! I took out my phone (which was my old Nokia E66) and asked someone there to take photos of us. The unknown person who took the first photo of us couldn't snap for sh*t so I took it and decided to take the photos myself. WHAT I DIDN'T REALIZE IS THAT, MY CHEEK ------- TOUCHED HERS!! SHE DIDN'T MIND - AT ALL! IT WAS SURREAL!!! After that, a couple of flashing lights came in and... my dream was gone - just like that. :( That was the best feeling ever. I wish I had stayed in that dream a little big longer, or better - forever!
This isn't how she looked like! In my dream, she looked a lot better! She wore the tudong properly - like a true girl!

Washed Away.
We were supposed to watch DPMM's match tonight, but, somehow, we didn't. Not that we don't have money to buy them (I know I don't.) It's just that we were hoping for a free entry since there were so many people that we thought the securities were going to get "lazy" to handle and eventually will let us in. The game already started while we were waiting for Aqel and Acoi to arrive and after, we went to buy tickets. We thought they were sold near the main entrance, but one of the security pointed out where they actually were. We headed down to the ticket booth to find tickets worth $8! I gave it a thought; was $8 worth spending just to watch the second half? No.
None of us wanted to buy them because we wanted to find a "cheaper" way in. Surprised to see Amin there to buy the tickets. We asked him where they were selling the $5 ones. Expecting to move about only for a short time, we had to walk around the stadium to reach the other ticket booth. When we reached there, two men offered Fikri 2 tickets. Their plan was to sell them, but Fikri told them that he was waiting for another friend. The men looked doubtful, paused and whispered among themselves. Fortunately, they just gave away the tickets - for free. Lucky! Fikri only had 2 tickets and yet he didn't want to take the opportunity to watch the game with either one of us. Instead, he went around looking for buyers and had those two tickets sold for $10! Soon after buying me a drink, he gave them a dollar each. Thank you!
It started to rain and we were still standing outside of the entrance (hoping for a miracle.) We got tired of waiting, Fathul's car was far away from where we were that we got so wet! We went to Tamu Selera instead to wash away our hopes of watching DPMM in action. Thanks for the treat, Afiq! It was a great night, indeed!
I bet the game was a lot much funner to watch than their last! It's too bad that they drew against the champions (I saw it somewhere on Twitter that they are champions.) Unlucky for DPMM to concede in the last minute, or they could've won! Well, the next Home game awaits!

KFC: Kentucky Fried Chicken or KFC: Kentucky Fight Club?

I had to wake up early to go to school and (for what I thought seemed easy) get my result slip. I went there with Ashif, Haafiz, Khaliq and three other friends. When we reached there, I got to recheck what my results are. I passed both of my orals and, of course, my languages. There were lots of other people too! No doubt.
When we went inside to get the slip, I thought we were able to get them just by giving our signatures. Yes, that's true - but there were also other requirements left before actually receiving it! My name was in bold and in red. I think my name on the name list is the only one in red there. It seems like I haven't paid my school fees, this PTA stuff that I also have to pay and return my vendor form. People who have gotten their slips looked relieved and I envy them. I don't know about their results, but I'm sure they didn't need to think about getting their slips back again. I've also gotten the leaving certificate which requires a LOT of "teacher hunting" to do. I wish had known about the requirements earlier! See, my dad isn't in Brunei at the moment. He's in KL and he's probably coming back tomorrow -- which means I only have 2 days left to finish this!

LCB or Micronet?
Syukur Alhamdulillah! I received word from my friend Sahrul that I've gotten 2 O's; English (3) and BM (4). I prayed so hard to at least accomplish and succeed in my O levels - and by that, to at least get 2 O's or better! I am grateful to Allah. He has answered my prayers and He has finally put a wide smile on my face tonight because I qualified! It's too bad that I flunked on my other three subjects (Commerce, Combined Science and Geography) which forbore me from getting into higher institutions - but it's okay! With 2 O's in my hand, I am able to go into colleges that I can think of - LCB and Micronet. Congratulations to those who achieved even higher grades and/or qualified to get into MD, PTEM or PTEK! To those who didn't achieve anything, you have my sympathy. Terribly sorry that it didn't work out for you in the end, guys. I know how it feels to hope for something you're sure you can get, but nothing is there. Tough luck. Thing is, never give up! Go and get that second second chance!

What A Game!
It was such a crazy game! First we were watching the game at TK Tea House, Gadong. But then, it started to rain so we moved in for shelter - which also I think was a bad move for our comfort. The darn TV was so far away! Most of the customers sat along the corridor connected to the tea house and the TV's further in front. Lucky people far in front got to watch the game easily!
We eventually got bored and switched venues. We went to Nasi Katok Mama, Gadong instead. You know, when I just arrived at the place, Chelsea was 1 - 0 up! Thanks to an Evans own goal. (Supposedly Sturridge's) Lolololol. Anyway, that place was much better! Sheltered, cool and comfortable! Only one thing though; as soon as it started to rain heavily, the Astro was seized. T-T But when it came back on after a few minutes later, Chelsea was 2 - 0 up! I think it was from a Torres cross and Mata volleyed it home from De Gea's right hand side! I had a feeling David Luiz would score last night because I saw him raised his arm up asking for the ball. Unbelievably not long after that, David Luiz scored the 3rd goal which was fed from a Mata free-kick! (Not Ferdinand's)
Just wow! I've never seen such strong and mighty Blues - what more to say about our debutant, Gary Cahill. He was terrific, but said it himself that it was a "disappointing debut". The tables have turned for us when Man United fought back harder with 2 penalties given and a header from Hernandez. The first penalty call was clear, but the second was just dubious. Nevertheless, both teams put on quite an amazing match! It was great to see Chelsea 3 - 0 up at first, but disappointed to see Man United catching up and resulted the match in a draw. The pressure was just nerve-wrecking, but fair is fair. One point apiece, but yes - we could've won the game single-handedly. Unlucky for us, Man United were the true dominants in the 2nd half. Congratulations to both teams! What a game!

Spray painting.
That was some work we did earlier this evening! Omar decided to do some spray painting on plain white t-shirts he bought today. We started around 4 and finished around 7. Stenciling the design on the shirts was easy, but cutting out them out was the hard part. It even took a long time! Probably 15 minutes for Omar's design and half an hour for mine! I'll upload the finished work of our designs!

15 hours?
Is it true? Is it already official? That the driving classes are extended up to 15 hours? I mean, I don't mind. As long as I pass my driving test and get my license in the end.

We're just bystanders.
I went to Miri with Fathul, Fikri and Afiq in which we call our very own 'party trip'. You know, I thought we were only going to spend a few night's hours shopping there and then, head back home. I even told my dad that I'd come home, but I didn't. Our meeting point was at Luagan Dudok, Tutong and we took off after Maghrib prayer. We had a topsy-turvy ride along the way, but we stayed calmed and everything seemed fine.
We reached Miri around 9-ish and met up with Afiq's old pal, Dalbert. He's been staying in Miri for almost 4 years now and he didn't mind showing us around town. It was getting late and we wanted to change our money for tomorrow's shopping session. Unfortunately, most of the money changers were closed so he brought us to this mall (I can't remember its name). Finally, we had our money changed. Guess where? At a shop that sells watches. Lol. Rate was 2.38 so it was all good.
We parked our car somewhere and drove off with Dalbert. First, he showed us the 'entertainment zone'. The name explains it all. Anything you can think of; it's there. Then we were feeling a bit hungry. He brought us to this local Bruneian restaurant (I also forgot its name!). Muara something.. Well, anyway - the place wasn't that bad! The rest of guys only ordered drinks and were given food from the stall in front of the restaurant. It's kind of like the food when you sit down and they automatically serve you with it. I ordered a dish called 'Lalapan Tenggiri'. Let me upload a picture from the net...
It's very nice! RM 11 only. It's like Ayam Penyet, but fish version. Haha. The tenggiri was so so good! I feel like having one right now. :^(
After that, he brought us back to the 'entertainment zone' and we were with the lively and active people. If you were there to witness and enjoy the happenings at the entertainment zone -- FOR THE FIRST TIME -- you wouldn't believe your eyes! Loud head-banging music and endless crazy dancing. It was the life of the party folks! Chun Hong was also there with his gang! Met up with him. Saw him exiting a shop, actually. And also, Tina Chong! I saw her, but she didn't see me. I shan't go further because what's there, stays there. If you're wondering if we did any thing 'not good', the answer is a big NO. We're just bystanders witnessing a crowd having so much fun.
We checked in a hotel called the Pacific Orient. It's only RM 118 per night. Can you believe it? I still can't! Quite cheap, I'd say. The four of us split RM 30 each. The room was small, but we managed to settle in well and had a so-called 'good night's sleep'. You know, I had trouble sleeping because:
1.) Afiq started snoring after a few seconds into our story-telling session.
2.) The room was freezing! London landed in the wrong place!
3.) There were only 3 pillows available. The rest of the guys had one each while I (had to) use the chair cushion. In the middle of the night, my head kept slipping off it. I have no idea why...
4.) Finally I was in a comfortable position - when suddenly Afiq started coughing and coughing and COUGHING! T-T
But he charged my mobile phone for me so it's okay. We checked out around 10:30 AM and went straight to Parkson. Had breakfast at this restaurant called Shashaki Shabu Shabu @ Sushi Buffet.
The buffet was brilliant rather than Sushi King's a la carte or snatch-a-plate ordering! RM24.90 - all you can eat sushi and shabu-shabu for 1 hour. The amount of food we gathered were just about enough to fill our hungry stomachs! We had one heck of a breakfast, alright!
After that, our last stop was at e-Mart. I bought Ray-Ban shades, Fikri bought a new Emporio Armani bag. (Suddenly I feel so lazy to go on...) Nevertheless, we had a great time! January 28th, 2012 is a date to remember!

New song up!
I was working on a new song last night and I have to say, it came out pretty good! In the middle of mixing down the song, I was thinking of a song title. I had 'Once Upon A Time' in my mind, but Harith shared his idea which was 'Once In A Lifetime'. I thought, why don't I add in the word 'my'? I did and now it's official! The song is called 'My Once In A Lifetime'. Here's the link to it!
I promised Waffles that she'd be the first listener of the full version of the song! Here's what she said!

PCSX 2.
I am currently staying over at my dad's after sleeping over at Fathul's place for two days. I have to say that the wireless connection here rules BIG TIME (rush)! Countless downloads of files finished fast! And the funny thing is that it didn't affect the other computer users. WHAT'S THE SECRET, DA!?
Anyhoo, I installed a PS2 emulator last night on this laptop. Configuring the first time settings was easy, but it needed a BIOS file. It says that you cannot obtain it from a friend or anywhere on the internet. It's just a notice so I tried finding a spare BIOS shared by other users. Successfully downloaded, when it came to playing the game I downloaded (Legaia 2: Duel Saga), it started up very very..... very slowly. I couldn't understand the numbers and letters or whatever that couldn't be read. The sound came out alright yet in sloooow mooooootion! There was this speedhack option so I tried to set the panel to the maximum speed -- 3. It wasn't recommended for it would cause freezes in videos and lags in sounds. After restarting the emulator, the same problem still occurred! No changes. In the end, I uninstalled it because according to the instructions, this laptop didn't meet its requirement. The emulator needs a decent computer and a relatively Fast Duo Core CPU (2.2GHz at least). Mine's only 1.6. FFFFFFUUUUUUUUUU

From Facebook:-
DPMM FC 2 - 1 CHIANGRAI UNITED FC
A friendly match between DPMM FC and Chiangrai United FC was held last night as a means of charity for the flood victims of Thailand and Cambodia. Congratulations to DPMM FC last night for winning 2 - 1 against Chiangrai United FC! Overall, I'd say the game was okay. DPMM had a few too many chances that weren't converted to goals whereas Chiangrai conceded a couple of fouls more than their shots on goal. I didn't get the first goal which was from the opposing team. I thought the referee had called upon a foul to the spot, but the game was quickly restarted and Chiangrai got the upper-hand and slotted one home. But DPMM didn't back down as they gotten themselves an advantage to score a penalty (which they did) to even the score. Afterwards, a nice cross from the left hand side into the box found an opening for a header into the net. The goalkeeper wasn't able to keep the ball out.
I'd like to thank Geez for coming all the way to Beribi just to pick me up - and to those who tagged along as well! Also, for Aqel to send me back home. 'Til next time!

NEW HOME RECORD! Round 40 in Zombie Mode!
I'm sleeping over at Omar's now. We were playing Zombie mode from last night - paused for a couple of hours - and resumed later in the afternoon. We thought our home record was Round 37, but in my blog, the furthest round I've stated was only reaching Round 35. Guess how many rounds we were able to reach? Round 40. Zombies were strong as heck! Nothing compared to Rounds 20 - 29. Last man standing was myself, but I wasn't able to continue on to the next round (which was supposedly to be the Pentagon Thief's round.)

LoL.
Oh! You guys do know that I've started playing LoL this year, right? I thought I mentioned it somewhere. I can't seem to remember. Was it on Facebook, or Twitter - or here? Well, nevertheless, since the new posting options are here, I might as well take the chance to upload two screenshots of my beginner's luck!
Due to my computer's slow speed, I was unable to keep playing that I had to restart my laptop over and over again. Not long after that, I received a warning letter from them. One more time and off I go. Unexpectedly, it froze on me! Therefore, I was banned for one day. What a vitch. It wasn't my fault. It was the computer's! T-T
I miss playing with them. Thanks for teaching me how to play, guys! Let's just hope I don't get addicted to LoL.

Friday the 13th? Luuuuul.
I am using the new post editor! It's pretty neat-o! Now, I have it easy when it comes to uploading pictures or videos! Hehehehe! Here's a picture of a beautiful barn owl I found on the net to end this post. Good morning, everyone! Have a great Friday ahead!
WORKING!!!

Lady in white?
Today was a good day spent with Afiq. He wanted company to see him skate at the stadium. He has improved since the last time. Can't wait for him to do so some more! Anyway, earlier this afternoon, my little sister saw something which she shouldn't have seen! Let's just say that she saw a ghost. I overheard my sister telling the story inside my room when I was half awake, buuuuuut I went back to sleep afterwards. Was so tired that I woke up around 4 o'clock!
So I got up from bed and asked her. I asked her so many questions that I know what it looks like. It was a woman dressed in white, tall and had "straight" hair. We could all tell that it was long! After staying here for a long time, this is the first time I've heard about that thing in this apartment. Well, I understand. She's still small and small kids are able to see things like that. I just hope it doesn't come up knocking on our door!

Jana Villa FC 6 - 4 Cobra FC
I am feeling oh so tired from last night's match against a fierce Jana Villa FC. Sadly, we lost but that's not going to bring us Cobras down! First loss of the year, but no worries! We did our best and ended the match with 4 goals in our hands (but the other team bagged 6.) T-T The goalscorers are as follows: Omar, Hamdi, voluntary player Abin and Afiq. It was a very tense match. I still can't believe I crossed my ball into the penalty box and found Omar. I also can't believe he got it right and into the net! Beautiful goal, it was!
My man of the match was my brother Malik. If you were there to see his defensive skills, you'd be amazed! He did pretty good despite not playing for quite a while. Thank you so much for coming, guys! And also, for getting 4 goals for Cobra FC. If it wasn't for our teamwork, we wouldn't have done it! I think I'm going to head to bed soon. Maybe after a quality time with Final Fantasy IX! :D Thanks for reading!

Should I?
I downloaded Final Fantasy IX last night and now it's at 60.4%! I can't wait for it to finish downloading so I can play it all over again; just like the old days. I could always borrow the controller from Memet or Zul - that's if I have the time to head over to either one of their places. Anyway, I'm not sure if I'm going to go home today. Still a 50/50 for me. Thing is, Muzani is flying off to KL on the 9th and today might be the last time I'll see him. Hmm. I'll give it some time to think whether I should go home or not. I miss home though...

It is still early.
I'm sleeping over at Syazwi's again today. You know, I haven't stayed at least 1 hour at home since New Year's. I've already been here for one night, but another night wouldn't hurt! We went to the airport earlier to see off Wazini who departed for KL to further his studies during lunch. We all hope you have a safe flight! I miss your wackiness already even though it was only for a short time! Take good care of yourself over there! Oh, and one last thing; shut up, Watch! :-D
We also met Harith who was seeing off his cousin. We asked him if he wanted to join us in this sleepover. Lol. He said he'll let us know later. Well, I hope I'll be able to update more. The wireless connection here is very strong!
How about... I try LoL-ing...? I haven't tried it though. Oh well! Gonna try it now! ^~^

The year 2011 is behind us now. We've to just keep walking on with the up's and down's this year might bring! Have a blessed year. I hope this year is funner than last year's!
I thought I was supposed to sleep over at Palm Garden Hotel last night, but no rooms were available. No worries. I'm spending the rest of the night at Memet's now along with Bahrin and Acoi. Oh! Manchester United lost 3 - 2 against Blackburn last night - at home! Chelsea lost against Aston Villa at home too! What a way to start the new year, but not to worry. There are still more matches to come and I hope Chelsea goes back to their winning ways!
