Confused.

I am confused. I do not even know what to do with my love life now. I mean, why do I think that I should look for a partner as quickly as possible? I don't want to hurt people's feelings. I should not be in such a hurry. Maybe I should just take it easy and carry on...

2014.

(I know I've said I'll try to keep this blog alive the last time, but I hope this time, I mean it. Let's start, shall we?)

HI, GUYS! As you can see, I have left this blog for a long time - a very long time. 2 years IS a long time if you think about it. But today onward, I will try my best to revive this blog and update you about what's going on in my little life. Life's been treating me fairly. I had an awesome new year with the people I love. Just keeping it short and simple. I don't think it's too late but happy new year 2014 everyone!

What am I doing right now? I am currently studying in Cosmopolitan and waiting for my results. If I pull this off, I will get my International Certificate in Business. Huehue. At the same time I have been working full-time with a sales and marketing company called Putratec Marketing & Technical Services Sdn Bhd, a subsidiary of Putratec Sdn Bhd. (No, the company's name does not relate to me whatsoever.) Now I don't know if I will continue to further my studies in Cosmopolitan because I kinda like it here at work already. I haven't decided yet but if I do further my studies, that means I'm prepared to let in a truckload of pressure and stress.

I'm always tired lately. Reason: Video games. Recently, I've just gotten my wireless internet connection installed at home. For the sake of everybody at home. We don't really sit down and watch TV for hours anymore now, do we? We spend most of our time getting busy on our laptops and especially our mobile phones. But thing is, everybody at home is enjoying the internet connection, and I'm happy for that.

I guess I'll end it here. My mind is all jammed up now. I feel like typing down the recent events which happened between me and my fling, but I think I'll just keep it t myself. Thanks for reading!

Hi again!

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.

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!

Owl Of The Month

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:

CONGRATULATIONS, CHELSEA!!!

A BLUE FAN ALWAYS AND FOREVER!!

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.)

90/10% LIKE THIS!!! I SWEAR!!

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...

Yes, I'm quite sure it looked like that because just as I was running towards my first destination, the basketball court, I got my hands in my pockets and my head down. Before even reaching the court, I turned and went back to look in the school's compound. Surprisingly, there she was! - standing out among the crowd through my eyes. I can't believe she was actually there! Words can't express how happy I was to see her! I waited out in the pouring snow until she came out, which she did. I approached her and we spoke about how it's been a very long time coming. Unbelievably, it was in the year 2005! I could mention a few people who were with me during that time, but I can't be so sure. All I have to say is that it felt perfect! You are perfect..

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!

Drogba's goal from a Ramires pass into the box. Tricked 3 Barcelona players!

Ashley Cole = Saviour of the night!

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!

GOOD DAY!

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!

SMOSH - IF VIDEO GAMES WERE REAL 2

It's All About Waffles.

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!

I posted this up on TwitPic, mentioned and tweeted Wafiqah this. She hasn't got back to me yet, but I do expect a funny reaction!

Okay! These Nike Windrunner Waffle jackets look oh so very nice! I wonder where I could find one...

Main: Brown w/ Waffle.

Main: White w/ Waffle

I am craving for waffles now.

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!

✰ 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!

Defeated Again.

Not really a good result from last night, but we did manage to bag 2 goals! One by me and one by Eyul. Click the link below to read about last night's event.

Cobra FC - Defeated Again

Winners of HBT 2012.

Congratulations to Brunei Darussalam for winning the Hassanal Bolkiah Trophy 2012 + a cheque worth BND20,000! Very lucky, lads! Although I didn't watch all of their matches, Brunei did really great to make it this far! Also a round of applause for Indonesia and Myanmar. 

P/S: Please stop racism. Respect how you want to be respected.

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.
