Mummy and Me (and my childhood story)

Mummy and Me.. (Mummy said she was holding my then-bantal busyuk)

Tibe-tibe rase windu sama Mama.Huhuhu..My baby sis, Anys uploaded this pic in her Facebook along with other embarassing pics of me masa baby dulu. I guess this pic was taken when i was 7/8 month ++.. Sangat tak same dengan sekarang rite? I know. I am never let to forget by Mama, Tok Jan, my aunts and uncles and even my Grampa..( Jeez, Tok Teh..Guys are not suppose to care about skin tone okai??) how my stuborness makes me tanned..tanner than my cousins yang mostly fair.So i ain't all 'fair and lovely'..so sue me.Haha..i dunt regret any of this (at times ade gak nyesal..especially bila balik raye tengok dorang sume cerah-cerah..ehehe..) because i'm the only one wif memorable childhood memories. Setakat panjat pokok, tangkap berudu, kejar-kejar, men roller-blade lompat-lompat atas curb..no hal la. Favourite game kitorang ikot musim, musim Ultraman ngah popular, men Ultraman, time Power Rangers ngah popular, kitorang men Power Rangers pulak. Pastu masa musim Piala Thomas, kitorang main badminton pulak.Petang-petang bila nak Maghrib, berkumandang la suara jeritan mama panggil saye balik "Renaaaaaa..!!!!! Balik..!!!" diikuti dengan leteran yang x taw la ape hujung pangkal sebab laju jer lari masuk bilik air sebab takot kene pukol..Aiseh, kaco daun mama neh orang nak main. Tapi antara banyak-banyak games time kecik-kecik dulu, haih..memang sorry la kalo nak tengok kitorang main masak-masak or kawin-kawin.Tak taw la apesal kan, rase cam geli jer.Hahaha..kalo ade sape-sape ajak main masak-masak or kawin-kawin, yang lain akan buat muke geli "Ish..x rock ar main mainan pompuan.!". Alang-alang nak masak, biar masak betol-betol..so kitorang akan buat unggun api and bakar kacang.Ape motif bakar kacang pon tak taw la.Merepek jer mainan.

Antara adik-beradik, yang suke bagi Mama hangin, tak lain tak bukan, saye la. Baby adik yang number 3, saye punye side-kick. Ape orang suro, die buat jer.Janji bleh ikot. Ahaks..Die la kawan saye bergaduh, bertekak, tido, main, makan..hmm..kasar kitorang neh. Sekarang neh, dah tak kasar macam tu.Dah besar kot. Baby pon dah macam pompuan sekarang.. (eh memang pompuan pon kan B? ahaha..)

Rindu pulak nak balik rumah and bergurau dengan adik-adik..but week-end ade jer bende nak buat so selalu tak dapat balik. Plus rumah kat Bangi pon jauh macam ape jer dari Komuter (padan mukeee..!Nak sangat dok apartment cantik..). Ehe..Raya haji nanti i balik la okai Ma! Hee.. *wink*

My sacred rhythm and rhetorical rhapsody

Hari ini, while studying a contract from USA, my Facebook chat window pop-out.It was Peah..kawan sekolah SMK Taman Keramat dulu.

P : "Azx..lagu ape ko letak kat blog ko tuh..best la..aku nak boleh? Firehouse ek!"

A : "Huh..xboleh..lagu tuh special la Peah.Aku xpenah bagi kat org lain sebelum neh..kecuali yg patut menerimanya.Kalo nak,cari sendiri..lalala~ Erk..Firehouse??No way.."

P : "Ala..boleh la..plish...nanges kang"

A : "Uhuhu..sacred ne Peah..bagi aku.."

*ketawa*

A : "Yela..lagu tuh from band Lifehouse - You belong to me. OST untuk Shrek"

*senyum*

P : "Owh..thanx Azx.Nanti nak cari.."

Above is how our conversations goes (almost lebih kurang..). So ape la kan special sangat dengan lagu neh.Hmm..lagu neh saye pernah dedicate untuk sesorang yang special..tapi saye tataw la samada dia taw ke x, acknowledge ke x.Hehe..Dia punya cara yang..hmm..different..in showing appreciation..or maybe dia memang x care+appreciate lansung.Hehe..Entah la.Dia je yang taw..saye layan kan aje =)

"Sowie Peah..bukan x nak share lagu tuh ngan ko, its too special for me..x pernah bagi if org mintak before neh.."

But then in the end, saye bagi jugak kat Peah..sebab x baik kedekot pon. Nanti Jason Wade marah saye x promote lagu dia. Haha.. X lah, sebab Peah pon share ngan saye satu lagu yang special untuk diri dia. Thanx beb..aku appreciate it very much your willingness to swap 'sacred song' ngan aku. Hope when ko dengar lagu tuh, ko ingat aku =). Saye x pernah letak lagu neh, dalam entry Choice of Rhythm saye walaupon lagu ne rank #1 dalam playlist saye. Saye x ready nak share dengan orang lain. Only the highest rarity standard untuk orang yang special, and this song is rarely played on the radio but god-damn best! Plus, saye suke Jason Wade main gitar for this song. I vow to buy a guitar and learn to play this song one day, Insya-Allah.. If not untuk orang tersayang, then untuk sooth my aching heart..untuk accept the fact yang dia maybe bukan lagi VIP saye (rase cam nak nanges..uhuu~ drama..).Tapi lagu ne, will always only untuk dia and only dia.. =)

Just remember when a dream appear, you belong to me - You belong to me, Jason Wade (Lifehouse)

Choice of Rhythm : Good Enough - Evanescence

Kalo kuar pakai macam tuh, sure org ckp sewel.So.Any dashing Vampire on the loose for me? Ahaks.Just kidding. This is a song by Evanescence from their Open Door album.

Choice of Rhythm : Monologue (lalala) - Taylor Swift

Today's rhythm is just for fun.This vid is taken from Saturday Night Life, where Swift was the guest host. She performed this song, LIVE in front of the audience. She did mentioned Joe Jonas, Kanye West and Taylor Lautner and other issues that high-lighted her career, in this song (like her glittery dress).Its funny okai..(if you are Swift's fan and know about the road of her career like my baby sister do)..Happy snorting.Ahaks!

Dys-functional Monday Blues

Semalam hari Isnin..saye bangun lambat.Hurmm...~
Padan muke.Sape suro week-end bangun lambat-lambat..kan dah ter-biase.

Pakai kemeja baru yang Wanne beli kan..Semua org puji cantik..wee~Baju kaler hijau.Sebab dah malas nak beli baju sendiri.Asek amek kaler same jeee..
Thanx Wanne.Pasne bleh lantik ko jadi personal shopper aku.Kikikiii~

Nak buat air..tapi air panas asek habis. Saye perlukan caffeine to stay sane and awake.Huwaaaa~
Semua org tibe-tibe nak bancuh air pagi ne agak nye??

Tengah hari..hujan turun lebat gile.Kitorang stranded kat Kedai Kak Nor.Hari tuh kat Pyramid..Haihhh~
Hmmm..hujan lagi..kat sana hujan jugak ke?

Bila hujan pasti teringat pada si dia.
Apekah dia pon ingat saye? Ahaa..fat chance!

Tak balik lagi dah ade orang ajak dinner same..Wah!
Hmm..baiklah..Dari sayu makan sorang-sorang kat rumah..kan?~

Petang hujan masih turun.Cane nak balik neh??
Sila beli payung ye Cik Azx..atau kalo dah kaya sangat, angkat je Neo CPS sebijik esok.

Dalam hujan saye dan Nad berjalan..tibe-tibe nampak kereta itu..hmmmm... *windu* =(
Hello..bukan dia sorang je pakai kereta tuh kat Malaysia ne Cik Azx! Biase kan diri ye..

Sebab pakai baju baru, asek kene puji plak cantik..sedikit riak bersarang dalam diri. Hmm..sekali bila sampai kat komuter UKM..baru la perasan kan, zip seluar tak tutup..Hmmm..~ Bongok gile! *blushing*
Double-triple damn..suke sangat kan buat kije macam neh? Tukar kije jadi flasher je la..Huhu..Riak sangat, padan muke saye! Xmau dah suro Wanne beli kan bajuuuu.. (tibe-tibe Wanne kene blame..haha)

Moral of the story : Every-time kluar toilet, jangan lupe check zip seluar!

Choice of Rhythm : Second Chance - Faber Drive

This song is by a Candian rock band, Faber Drive (one of their popular song is Tongue Tied).A ligt rock music..for easy listening..hehe. The vid is not their official one and in fact it was made by one of their fan.

Choice of Rhythm : Shine - Anna Nalick

Today's rhythm is from Anna Nalick's latest EP, Shine.I came across this song accidentally while doing favor for Wanne (she is the one who ask me to help download Shine mp3..) and the first time i heard it, well, i was hooked, more for the rhapsody, rather than the music. But then, the music is motivating too..and kinda calming (me not in my best mood today..uhu~). So, below is an excerpt taken from Anna's website : http://www.annanalick.com/ about her latest EP:

A Note About "Shine" From Anna

"Shine" is a song FOR those people who have made mistakes in a public way, FOR people whose mistakes and heartbreak are considered entertainment. When sad things that would hurt ANYBODY happen, like your relationship falling apart and making entertainment news, or you are constantly being told how you aren't good, thin, pretty, or rich enough, or your job being so taxing for the roles you have to play whether it's having to immerse yourself in a crazy depressed state of mind to play a crazy depressed character, or having to stay permanently smiling every time you leave your house even though you've just had a miscarriage, or an argument with someone you love, or your dog died and you finally crack, we just say, "It was bound to happen, everyone in Hollywood is shallow and addicted."

"Shine" is also saying that little girls, like your daughters and sisters or you, don't have to throw up to be pretty, be sleazy to be loved, or be crazy to get attention. Just because the BAD things are what people pay money for doesn't mean that those things are ALL of what your favorite movie and music stars are. What about the fact that the heiress is an amazing business woman, and the popstar writes poetry, can really dance, or really sing?

EVERYONE deserves a chance. You don't have to settle for what others believe you to be. Force them to see you for what you are proud of. To be bigger than your title, stereotype, or clique, bigger than your loneliness and to know you are better than another's definition of you is to Shine.

This song remind me of myself (my current state of life) and some certain friends who i'm sure will take a pleasure in listening to this music and the lyrics. There are no official vid (yet) for this song but i'm sure it is just a matter of time. So i kinda post a vid with Anna's slideshow (hope it will do..). For all the heartbroken-er..Shine away guys, shine brighter than the star and leave the misery path! And for korang yang lain, happy listening! Cheers! *wink*

Shine - Anna Nalick

Oh the night makes you a star

And it holds you cold in its arms

You’re the one to whom nobody verses I love you

Unless you say it first

So you lie there holding your breath

And its strange how soon you forget

That you’re like stars

They only show up when it’s dark

Cause they don’t know their worth

And I think you need to stop following misery’s lead

Shine away shine away shine away

Isn’t it time you got over how fragile you are

We’re all waiting

Waiting on your supernova

Cause that’s who you are

And you’ve only begun to shine

There are times when the poets and pornstars align and

You won’t know who to believe in

Well that’s a good time to be leavin’

And the past knocks on your door

And throws stones at your window at 4 in the morning

Well maybe he thinks it’s romantic

He’s crazy but you knew that before

And I think you need to stop following misery’s lead

Shine away Shine away Shine away

Isn’t it time you got over how fragile you are

We’re all waiting

Waiting on your supernova

Cause that’s who you are

And you’ve only begun to shine

Yeah you’ve only begun to shine

Won’t you shine shine shine shine over shadow

Shine shine shine shine over shadow

Shine shine shine shine over

And I think you need to stop following misery’s lead

Shine away Shine away Shine away

Isn’t it time you got over how fragile you are

We’re all waiting

Waiting on your supernova

Cause that’s who you are

And you’ve only begun to shine

Yeah you’ve only begun to shine

Choice of Rhythm : A Little Piece of Heaven - Avenged sevenfold

Wassup korang..! For choice of rhythm of the day today, this is yet another vidclip by A7X.Actually, i dunt really like the song (too explicit and scary..hehe) but then the vidclip is COOL in a scary cartoon way. I have to force myself to watch it till the end..sebab terlalu gruesome for me.Haih..tengok sekali je cukup la..x sanggup tengok banyak-banyak kali.Macam cartoon Happy Tree Friend.haha..So i would like to share this vid with korang semua. This vid was taken from their latest album - Avenged Sevenfold (2007). I featured 2 vid as comparison for your eye candy. One is the official A7X's and another is a remake by a fan. The fan video-ed a real version of the A7X vid. Uuuu..yang cartoon pun dah scary..ape lagi yang real *shivers*.The best part is, the A7X guys acknowledge the fan punye effort and siap suro other fans check out the vid..Cool~

I guess the message from the song is..erm..jangan buat jahat dengan orang, sebab nanti akan dapat balasan.Oh man..i hope x la sekejam cam dalam vid ne..this is too 'an eye for an eye' (that's English proverb similar to 'ada ubi ada batas, ada hari gua balas').Kalau la, Tuhan punya karma happen mcm dalam video ne, i guess, memang xde manusia yang berani buat jahat, at least i won't..i dunt wanna die in such a horrendous death..uurrgghhh!! xmaw..xmaw.Aiyakk! Over pulak..so happy watching guys. Shiver me timbers..! *wink*

Terry Fox Run 2009 : Nov 1st, Sunday

Uhu..it's been few days dah since last entry.Busy pon ye, xde mood pon ye. So today nak cerita sket pasal satu aktiviti done by me, Ester and Ing Hoe and the rest of my present company staffs (Velosi) on Sunday, 1st of Nov 2009. Company yang saye kerja sekarang telah menghantar email to all Velosi staff about this charity event, Terry Fox Run. Knowing that this kind of thing would interest Ester, so i invite her along and she invited Ing Hoe (which is cool with me because Ing Hoe is damn hillarious!). So pada hari Ahad yang hening, maka bergeraklah kami bertiga ke charity event ini yang diadakan di Lake Garden, KL.

So what is Terry Fox Run? Coool sangat ke join charity event macam ne? hehehe..here's a bit of trivia about the history of Terry Fox Run. Okai, so Terry Fox was born on July 28,1958 and merupakan seorang lelaki yang bersemangat tinggi dalam hidup. Beliau pernah berjanji pada mak nya, yang dia akan berlari mengelilingi Kanada (Terry is a Canadian) suatu hari nanti. Unfortunately, pada suatu hari, Terry telah disahkan menghidap bone cancer. Pengesahan ini dilakukan oleh doktor setelah Terry mengalami kesakitan yang berlarutan pada lutut kirinya. Six days after the confirmation, Terry's leg was amputated (uwaa..kesian dia!!) and his life was changed forever. Imagine you in Terry's place..i couldn't imagine having my leg amputated because i live and lean upon it. I love running and to lose a leg, i dunt even wanna think about it.. He must be really devastated..huhu..Poor Terry =(.. But being a strong willed person, Terry telah belajar berjalan semula menggunakan kaki palsu dalam masa beberapa minggu sahaja.. (Hebat Terry!). On August 30,1979, Terry with his few friend (cam saye dan Ester dan Ing Hoe), telah menyertai larian marathon di Boston. Guess what? Terry berjaya habiskan larian itu dalam masa 3 jam dan 9 minit, hanya 10 minit lewat dari peserta berkaki dua (kaki ori..) yang terakhir. Walaupun Terry x menang, tapi semangat juang yang tinggi dan tidak putus asa Terry menjadi kekaguman semua. Terry juga berjaya mencapai impian beliau untuk berlari merentasi negara tercinta, Kanada.This is the spirit yang perlu ada dalam diri setiap manusia. Setiap yang berlaku, ada hikmahnya. You just need to have faith and believe in it..!

Terry Fox Foundation is a cancer research foundation and hold the annual Terry Fox Run as it's charity event. This charity event have no corporate sponsorship (unlike the other fund raising event) as this is Terry's own original wish of not seeking fame or fortune from his endeavour. Masa beliau berlari merentasi Kanada, beliau telah menolak semua cadangan tajaan, even dari multinational company like McDonald's (whoa..cool gile Terry ne..) kerana beliau merasakn ini akan menyimpang dari pendirian asal beliau untuk create public awareness terhadap cancer. Terry Fox Run charity event telah diasakan pada tahun 1981 oleh Isadore Sharp (a Canadian businessman and founder, chairman and CEO of Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts) yang telah menulis telegram kepada Terry, meminta kebenaran untuk memulakan larian amal bagi mengutip dana bagi cancer research atas nama Terry. Dari situ lah, bermulanya acara dwi tahunan yang telah disertai oleh saye dan rakan-rakan serta teman sepejabat Velosi (Watie, Wanne, Nawar, Zira, Nad dan lain-lain..termasok big bosses) pada Ahad lepas which is - Terry Fox Run for cancer research foundation. For more info on Terry Fox run please visit this website : http://www.terryfox.org/. Source of info was taken from : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terry_Fox_Run

Last Sunday was totally..awesome! Here we were at Lake Garden in the middle of the morning, joining people from all over KL and companies staff (from what i noticed, Petronas and Shell was one of the major participant) to participate in this charity event. Ala bukan susah pon, kalo rase nak lari, lari la. Kalo rase x nak..jalan-jalan sambil cuci mate..eh salah..melihat kehijauan alam sekitar pon boleh. Xde sape pon paksa peserta untuk berlari. Its just a matter of participation. T-shirt yang dibeli sebagai sumbangan (its charity maa..you pay your money goes to the foundation fund) has a cool design plus baseball cap yang Velosi bagi pon quite cool. Hehehe..My colleague walk together in our company group but being us (me+ester+ing hoe), we ran all the 3.2km surrounding Lake Garden. Actually there's the 7km route..kitorg je x taw (kalo taw pon, macam nak lari je kan? hehe..). There's like..sea of people from front and behind.No ending..pheww..! And rasa cam curious sket bila nampak several people wearing kain pelikat+kain batik.. (company suro ke? hehe..) Macam-macam ragam! It is endearing to see that Malaysian is supportive of charity event like this and people from all ages, races and gender willing to sacrifice their Sunday morning to join this event. Way to go Malaysian! (no..i won't start screaming 1 Malaysia.It's phony..i know). By the end of the run, there are free milo+muffins+buns+pancakes+banana for participants. so..dig in..but we didn't ate because..gile ape? semua food tuh boleh bagi muntah kalo makan lepas berlari..hehe.

 All in all, it was one of the best week-end i had with my best buddy..full with laughter, sweat (sbb berlari) and healthy pink glow in our cheek. Ing Hoe and Ester is DAMN HILLARIOUS (+ridiculous+lucah!). Oh man..i haven't laugh like that for a while now. Cramped perot okai! hahaha..Wish Jo'c could join too but she's sarat mengandung. Maybe after mini Jo'c comes out, we'll take her/him along with us next time..Insya-Allah =) Thanx Ester and Ing Hoe for the cool week-end! Here's some of the pics taken during the event for korang punye view..Cheers!
