46th Merdeka!

This year's celebration proved to be the best of all so far. esp the revised anthem - nearly make myself burst into tears, coz I felt like I did nothing for my country, but at the same time, asking something in return. How ridiculous! Forget the crap right now... let's go on thru the day.... In the morning I was at Putrajaya hanging out with KRBs. Thanx Nizam for giving me the special pass so that I could wonder everywhere I want during the celebration - much like press people :) minus the bulky SLR cameras! The parade was marvellous, with all policemen, soldiers, and the most important one - Civil Defence. I think it'd be nicer if all the vehicles - alpha, delta, yada yada yada be in the marching company. All in all, this is the best merdeka i've been for the rest of my life!



Also, I noticed that most cameramen use Canon, and Nikon. Plus the telephoto and wide conversion lenses. Hmmmm.... which make and model I should opt to? It really depends on my budget laaa...

Yes! I'll find the entry level one, Canon maybe, but rest assured, I won't regret buying it.



On Saturday night, Hafiz UTP and I went to Istana Budaya to meet Nizam, and had a chat all night long, til I couldn't open my eyes anymore. Had a cuppa with him, before moving out to KLCC for the countdown. Syed from Korea was there, but too bad the road were congested heavily, so we had to call off the plan to meet there. The last resort - return to Istana Budaya. Seen many fireworks at 12.00 am... and it was stunning!



Sosial n Social

Itulah die dunia kita Msia. Tak payah gi jejauh... sini je cukup nak tgk segale kedahsyatan. Salah siapa? Soalnya siapa? Hmmmm.... pk pk kan ye... aku nak ingatkan diri aku n sesape yg terbace blog nih... jangan salahkan org lain je... sendri pon kene tgk jugak... mcmmane nak gerakkan tangan kalo otak kite sendri tak hantar signal suro gerak? ishhh ape aku merepek... even angels from heaven turun kasi bayan... kalo hati tanak jugak ikut... tak kemane�..... sume bergantung kat diri kite...



Merdeka?

Merdeka hati dari syaitan dan nafsu - mmg berat... n malam tu jugak... tetibe nampak 2 manusia berlainan spesis kuar dari semak time tgh drive... heh ape cite?????

Thank you for everything

I'd like to say sorry for the mistakes I did, and thank you to those that help me out of the hell last year. I admit that I've been such a troublemaker, but that doesn't mean that I am bad person. I hope that we'll still be friends, and give me a chance to improve myself and become a better man.

All in all, I miss you guys so much and it hurts sometimes...

Wow! I missed my blog two days in a row, am I too busy? :(



Bert and Muhaimin returned to Moscow last nite. Gorgon(Mizan), Milah, Waktar and I were at KLIA, just wanted to say goodbye to our dearest friends. Bumped into a senior - Wan Pedot, and now he's reading Law in UK, and maybe he is a friend of Kam (maybe not), another MMA student like Bert & Muhaimin. Meanwhile, Saifurahman were off to Bandung yesterday morning. Told him I'd be there but too bad I woke up late. I'm really sorry for that and I do mean it...



Then we had a cuppa at Kg Baru, and later I sent back the trio back to UKM KL campus. Looking forward to celebrate Merdeka with them, but I'll think bout it first. Hafiz from UTP, Munzir from KYMS and Nizam already asked me to join their respective plan during Merdeka. And I'm aware that I'm a little too busy...Ohhh damn it! The predeparture briefing is on Saturday!

Yeahhhhhh! Today I've learnt alot about SLR camera know-how, here I want to say loads of thanx to Chegu Zuzi and Amar for giving me chance to mess up with the camera. Actually, I'm thinking of borrowing DV tapes recorded during important events, inclucing the salam perantauan one. So, I didn't expect my trip to SMAPK end up with discovering new things - photography know-how. Aperture, exposure, shutter speed, and yadda yadda really freaked me out in the beginnning. But as a newbie, mistakes worth alot. From now on, another gadget is added to my wishlist - SLR camera. If only...



//wishlist

handycam - Canon perhaps?

SLR camera - still doing the homework... I'm still a newbie man!

handphone preferably Nokia

Put a mp3 player in my blog (actually it will pop up automatically). It takes a while to load esp the songs, each song about 120kb, so if you're using broadband, in no time the song will start playing. Made using Flash MX. Originally used to be the mp3player in Gundala In CD. Should any problem happen, just shout it out ok. Have fun!

Woke up late today, too exhausted after staying up til 3.00am. My grandpa, Che Shafie and wife arrived at the moment I opened up my eyes. What a shame! That's happen when a young man like me rotting, and doing nothing at home, even worse, wake up late everyday! Hmmmm....thinking of going to IKEA at Mutiara Damansara, but I'm not sure which highway I should drive in. I knew that it is somewhere near Uptown, though I never seen any signboards showing where the hell IKEA is.



Watched Band of Brothers, and it was good. Really. It potrays how teamwork looks like in such a disastrous situation, how they relate to each other, pretty much like a brother helping out his siblings to survive. I'm going to watch it again tommorow, hoho another movie marathon!



Tonite I'll scan and upload all the prayer text, its easy to be done, but you know its damn tedious. If only I have my own hosting...and I could use FTP to upload all the things, but the cheapest definitely would make a big hole in my wallet...

A bit woozy for the rest of the day. Maybe because of dehydration or perhaps I slept too much til my brain cells had rotten away. Or maybe because I surfed the net til I'm sick of it. After Friday prayer I called Kak Shidah, and she said my flight would be on September 25, midnite. It is time to count how many days are left and flirting with idea of how could I squeeze all my stuff - scanner, pirated cds and dvds, jumpers, longjohn, ikan bilis, dried chillis, brahim's instant food, aaaarrghhh the list goes on.... within 30kg limit. In the evening I flipped thru my photo album for a couple of times, just to recall what I've been doing since I was in Form 1. *sigh*. I nearly forget that I haven't post the gathering pics yet.







//There are two things that Gundalerz really mad with - camera & food

Quite lazy to blog rite now, you know mood swings all the time. Oppss...movie marathon already started 10 minutes ago. Scrubs...I'm coming for you...

Finally baby is home! The baby is soooooo cute! My dad said he will name the baby later, and I guess it will definitely start with A, like Azkhan or something. Who knows? Next weekend I'd be busy as my grandpa & relatives are paying a visit. So my house would be full of laughter!



Thanx Pacaq for sending the photos, much appreciated!



Pacaq with his super-cute little sister!

Here they come all the way from UIA - Ramzi, Roy, Pacaq, Wa an (ehhhemmmm), Wa an's roomie

INTEC's frontliners - Pacaq, Pudin, Wakdot, Jihak, Qepab

I'm off to UIA after Asar prayer to take my mic and fresh roses from Cameron Highlands, courtesy of Pakya. Tommorow, I'm going to SMAPK...first ask Zuzi if he could lend the tape (salam perantauan and hariguru) to me and second, take photos of SMAPK. All shots will be in much-awaited CD, provided if I have enough space to be filled in. Pakya asked me to submit the proposed design of all new gundalaDOtnet (sayonara to gundala.cjb.net...) that will be launched before Ramadhan...and it's already Rejab right now...

//Full report in Malay

Utk pengetahuan umum, saudara Zulhairi n Khairul Nizam telah selamat berangkat ke Jepun (Tokyo) lebih kurang pukul 10.15 malam (check in). UIA telah menghantar dua buah kereta yg terdiri dari nyit, roy, pakya, kutik, ain, zara, makwin, fizawan, dan aneem.



Kami tiba lebey kurang 8.30mlm dan terus bergegas ke Departure Level. Saudara karu tiba dengan pajero badut lebih awal 30minit bersama milah. Ketika itu karu dan alam sedang sibuk check in luggage. Tidak lama selepas itu, duta� SMAPK yg berpakaian serba hitam lengkap tiba. Dari riak wajah mereka, terpancar 1001 perasaan yg x dapat diterjemahkan dengan kata²...huhu.



Kami tidak membuang masa (kerana setiap detik yg berlalu itu wang!*) lantas mengambil foto utk kenang�an. Setelah agak lama berdiri kerana kekurangan seat, pudin, yoyot, kepab, pacaq, wakdot, nore tiba. Melihatkan kiteorg yg dah pancit berdiri, Alam dengan selumbernya meng'offer' kiteorg utk dibelanja. Kami terkesima seketika kerana tak sangka Alam begitu pemurah pada malam itu. Kami semua menjamu selera di KFC...sedang seronok membuffey, Put datang utk memberi sokongan moral. Turut hadir faie dan matzin dengan kelisa serba baru.



Alam dan karu x dapat bersembang panjang since dieorg dah dipanngil utk check in. Selesai makan, kami bergegas menuju ke arah rombongan ke Jepun. Maybe nasib kami agak malang kerana hanya sempat berpeluk2kan dengan Alam sedang karu hilang ditengah lautan manusia.



Alam ceria ketika mengucapkan selamat tinggal kepada kami, juga karu yg nampak agak kesedihan.Kami sempat merakam foto mereka berdua sebelum bertolak pergi. trimas utk semua kerana memberi sokongan buat duta2 kita ke Jepun. Buat Amin yg sudi bertanyakan khabar, thanks.



*khusus buat mereka yg memegang parking chipcoin. 1jam RM3...

Today is my happy day! Alhamdulillah the cute baby was delivered safely, so from now on I have seven siblings! Mom probably won't be back til Thursday, so I'm responsible for anything. At least I can get rid off my stress and boredom...and I can't wait for my little brother to be here!

Yesterday has been an energy-draining day, in the very very morning I was in duty with Nizam and learnt alot from that. Basic training doesn't taught much so I felt like I'm such a ill-prepared, know-nothing rookie. It's the fear of accidentally killed innocent people I am afraid of. Phew! The shift ended at 7.00am (start at 11.00pm yesterday) and what a relieve! There were two cases reported - the first one at Kg Pandan, where a row of houses said was caught on fire. Another one at Shangri La Hotel, but it turned out to be a small fire caused by faulty signboard lamp. Nonetheless, 5 fire engines rushed to the scene and our ambulance was the first to arrive, kudos to our super-experienced driver Dzul. Imagine the suspense and thrill when speeding at 70km/h in the midst of traffic jam, and the ambulance survive unscratched.



Pacaq gave me his add in Arizona, here it is - 1129, east 7th street, 85719 tucson, AZ, USA.

Paklan's add is - k710, rikko kaikan, 2-43-12, kotake-cho, nerima-ku, tokyo-to, Japan

Amin's - PO Box 440, Jordan University of Science and Technology (JUST), 22110, Irbid, The Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan

Korean students' (Syed, Padil & Emmy) - 104, EHWA YONLIB, 313-33, GAEBONG-DONG, GURO-GU, SEOUL, SOUTH KOREA.



Here's some photos of Amin at KLIA before he departed to Jordan - Jordan Uni of Science & Technology. These pics was taken last year... 2002... I'm just recycling whatever I've got in my PC.



From left: Pacaq, Azraie, Reza, Amin, Pakya(squatting), Ramzi, Pudin.

Discussion?



I'll post the pics of Gundala's first gathering later ehhh....quite exhausted right now. ZZzzzzZZZZZzzzzZZZZZzzzzz

Solved gallery problems (xml-ing matters), and understood how Ray of Light's Reverence (calendar-cum-gallery) works. So, I'll modify it to my kepale larr and perhaps this feature will be included in Gundala In CD Limited Edition. Maybe tommorow I will complete the gallery section (not Reverence one), as for koleksidoa², on Sunday night the scanning of some prayer text will begin. Time's running out, I got another 20 days left, and hopefully I could make it.



Informed by Daus that Korean students will be back tomorrow, so perhaps this is the last chance to meet my old fellas before I'm gone to Dublin. And thanx Daus for the photos, surely it'd make the gallery merrier!



Yesterday I messed up with my car at Eddie's workshop at Segambut. Did some cleaning of engine compartment. Since the car had been used to to and fro between my dad's orchard and home, mud, dust and oil are everywhere. Also, tried to fix driver's power window by swapping the motor from the passenger's side to the driver's, but it turned to be unsuccessful. But, the gear knob has been tuned a little bit, so I could shift the gears easier and faster. In the morning Nizam and I collected our member's card from JPA3 HQ, and on Saturday night (tomorrow man....) I'll be on duty (8-hour shift). Hmmmm...can't stop thinking about it, you know first-timer like me...



So far...



//in progress

video - still blurred on the arrangement...the materials given to me is like a crap!

The only thing and yet the most important one - budget is still out of the question. But don't worry too much, I'll forked out some from my parents...hopefully they'll give larrr...
