The Bag Challenge Baini

Since CrazyCyn tagged me and also said "I wanna know what’s inside a guy’s bag" , I guess I'm up to the challenge. Here goes.

First of all, meet the bag. Say hi.

I'm not exactly crazy about bags, so I only have two. The other would be my laptop bag. I bought this one during my first year in UMS after my old bag terkuyak badly. Also if it ever crossed your mind that "Macam murah ja beg ko ni", that's because it is. RM29.90 during a sale in Wisma Merdeka. Anyway let's start dissecting, shall we?

Technically, the thing above is not exactly the "inside" of my bag. I just want to show you this monkey key-chain that I love very much. Monkeys are cool, don't you agree?

My contact lens kit and my glasses. Hands down, these are the most important things in my bag. Without these, I can barely see anything because I have horrible eyesight. I barely use my glasses anymore outside my house but still, the big conflict. Contact lens or glasses; which is the best choice for me? Can you help?

Me with no glasses

Me with glasses.

Yeah...dream on, right?

My spare handphones; Samsung SGH-C130 and CSL Bluberry. Just in case, if my Sony Ericsson decided to mo mati tiba-tiba. Seriously, I don't even know why I carry two spares even though I only have 1 SIM card.

My mini umbrella. Don't you dare comment about the color. Who cares if it's purple. As long as it serves its function, fine with me.

GATSBY Moving Rubber wax. My hair needs product for styling too, you know.

My necktie. Wait, how the hell did it get in here? I can't remember the last time I use this, since I barely wear any formal clothes to class anymore. Even if I did, I prefer being necktie-less since I'm not very comfortable with it. Nanti-nantilah baru saya guna ko balik.

My student card. I need this especially when going out for a movie. RM3 discount may not sound a lot, but for us students it's divine. Notice that I'm much thinner in the picture. Curses.

My medication.Just in case. I need them for my leg but I stopped taking them already. My leg is already fine but I had to stop doing heavy duty sports like karate anymore out of fear that it will hurt again. Pity, isn't it?

Unpaid parking ticket. Yikes! I hope nobody from DBKK is reading this.

My calculator, pencil case and a reference book (which I barely open. Hanya sebagai hiasan)

Comic book baini. A much needed savior while waiting for the bus to come but I don't usually carry one all the time. Depends on the situation.

Since that's out of the way, let the tagging begins. Kamurang punya turn lagi.

Diskriminasi Menjatuhkan Aku.

"Situasi" by Bunkface. What can I say? One of my favorite songs, no doubt about it. It's one the reason why I started listening to Malay songs again and it's also one of my Kbox session staples. Any chance I get, I'll sing this song full heartedly in front of my friends. Duet or not, sumbang atau nda, that's a different story altogether. Yeah, sepa suruh bawa saya pigi Kbox.

100% your fault.

One thing I've always wondered however, is how did they come up with the lyrics? Why is the song called "Situasi"? What are the messages that they are trying to convey? It's catchy, sure. It's sing-along-able, indeed. However, one have to wonder about these things (especially me) after listening to it for about 1347873248454324393476 times already. Bear in mind that this song was released about 3 years ago (correct me if I'm wrong) and I STILL don't get it. Don't get me wrong, however. I'm not here to argue with the song writer or anything. I barely know how to make anything that rhymes, let alone produce a chart topper. It's just something that pops out of my mind and hopefully, others too. Hence just for sh!ts and giggles, here's my analysis of the lyrics. Hopefully you'll like it.

(I'm being satirical so please don't sue me.)

Bunkface - Situasi

Diskriminasi menjatuhkan aku, (Discrimination have beaten me)
Reputasi kini menjadi bisu, (The reputation is now mute)
Dan aku, ku layu oh oh di situ. (And I withered, oh oh right there)

What is the first thing that pops out from your mind after reading these sentences? This must be some kind of poetry, right? Because seriously, I cannot freakin' understand what they meant at all. How can you mute a reputation? And God knows what it even means. Why did he withered anyway? Are you a plant? Then misti ada urang lupa siram air sama ko ni kan. Andu.

Mengharapkan sesuatu yang baru, (Hoping for something new)
Itulah impian aku. (That is my dream)

What is this something "new" that you're hoping for? A new car? A pretty girlfriend? Lots and lots of money? Be specific next time for crying out loud.
The fact that your "dream" involves "hoping" for something? Wait, isn't that the same thing? So you say it's something like "hoping kuasa dua"? Hoping for hoping for something new to happen. Hmmm. Mind blowing.

"Huh?"

Dan bilakah menghilang, (And when it is gone)

What is?

Musnahlah musnah impian 'tuk menggapai bintang, (All hopes for reaching the stars is gone)

So you want to be an astronaut now? I'd say forget about it. It involves hours and hours of rigorous physical training to keep you fitter than an Olympic athlete, dozens of IQ tests and lots of other things that your body will never be able to keep up with. Besides, you "withered" already. Remember that, sissy?

Terangi hidupku, (Light up my world)

Please do. I need to revise for my final paper this Friday tapi teda karen oh sekarang ni. Cilaka banar-banar eh. Not too bright though. I have very sensitive eyes.

Ku mahu kau tahu engkaulah destinasiku, (I want you to know that you are my destination)
Dalam ingatanku, (In my mind)

Oh, now I get it. From what I see and get from this sentence, there's this one guy who fell in love with this girl, which he describes as his "destination". I guess that means that he just wants to court her, right? I don't know, your guess is as good as mine. Luckily I'm not a pervert and didn't interpret it in the most suggestive way possible.

....what? Apa tingu-tingu?


Kerna diri ini tak daya lagi ,(Because I cannot take it anymore)
Menempuh hidup yang ku temui, (To face the life that I found)
Dan aku, ku tunggu oh oh di situ. (And I'll wait oh oh right there)

If you can't face hardships in life (or a life that you "found" conveniently) and just "wait" until the problem goes away, then I have some pretty bad news for you son.

Life is full of challenges that you need to face on a daily basis.
Life is about teaching you to stand up when everything is pulling you down.
Persevere, rather than giving up.
It's a big sh!t sandwich, and we all got to take a bite.


...maybe I'm taking it a little too far, no?




Mengharapkan sesuatu yang baru, (Hoping for something new)
Itulah impian aku. (That is my dream)

For the love of God and everything good, WHAT IS THIS "NEW" THING THAT YOU'RE WAITING FOR?! Can you be more un-specific than this?

Dan bilakah menghilang, (And when it is gone)
Musnahlah musnah impian 'tuk menggapai bintang, (All hopes for reaching the stars is gone)
Terangi hidupku, (Light up my world)
Ku mahu kau tahu engkaulah destinasiku, (I want you to know that you are my destination)
Dalam ingatanku. (In my mind)

And the chorus goes on until the song ends. I can't continue.


That's all. I need to have a break.

Will you "like" my Facebook status?

I love Facebook, that's established. Love it so much in fact, that I started to do many crazy things. Most of it involving Facebook statuses. You know, the one where you post a status(usually containing questions or challenges), somebody go and "like" it and you have to do that particular challenge. Like this.

It was very silly. I was worried about the 4th "like" but I was absolutely sure there will be only 3 "likes" since I figured that nobody would be brave enough to go for the fourth one. I closed my laptop, took a sip of my cold Milo and watched the news on the TV. After a few moments, I went and check my Facebook. You know what I saw?

It was a full house. Somebody did become the 4th person and it was my friend, Fauziah. Meaning, a week of "in a relationship" with her. I could just say "Haha.Nda payah la baitu.Main-main saja" and go on with life. Sadly, my curiosity got the best of me (I want to see people's reaction) and also for the fact that she challenged "Bah,request bah kalo berani.Ni malam ah". And thus, inilah yang terjadi. Jeng jeng jeng.

On my side(FB profile), people didn't pay much attention. 5 "likes" and 6 comments only. It's probably due to the fact that my friends know that this was only a practical joke, or that I was not popular in Facebook. Either way, the same cannot be said when I look at Fauziah's profile.

My goodness, people took this more seriously on her side. I mean, just look at the figures. My coursemates, her friends and much more. Seeing this, I wanted to stop this nonsense as soon as possible (takut jadi lebih serius) but dammit, I just can't help laughing at the comments. Maybe leave it just a little bit longer?

And then, there was this one girl.The one I like to call batu api, and her name is Caroline.

Over time, my conscience and hers got the best of us.I just can't imagine if we went on for a week. I mean, what if both Fauziah and I have secret admirers (perasan) ? One thing's for sure is that both of us will surely kena potong markah. Nobody wants that, right? In the end, both of us agreed to end this nonsense after less than 24 hours.

Maaf ku tak bisa memilihmu.

Life goes on and I made a promise to myself that I will never play this "Facebook-like-nonsense" again. Ever. Not in a thousand years. I definitely learnt my lesson.

A thousand years pass by without us noticing.

Step Up 3D

Last week I watched Step Up 3D in GSC 1Borneo. With all the hype surrounding the movie, I just got to see it for myself.

RM15 well-spent? We'll see.

Let’s get this out of the way first. I’m not a big fan of dancing. I’m also not a big fan of dance movies. Particularly because all of them (the one I’ve seen anyway) feels exactly the same. Generally, the formula always goes something like this

• There’s always going to be a big dance-off competition around the corner and the dance crew (in this movie, The Pirates) is preparing for it.
• The new guy (if there is any) awes everybody with his/her dance moves. The new guy joins the crew.
• Mid-way through the movie, something goes wrong. E.g.: A person betrays the team by leaking their dance moves and/or joins the opposing team. Mind you, this happens conveniently right before the final showdown.
• Everybody give up hope and suddenly, a person in the team (usually the new guy) inspires everyone to move on.
• They defy the odds and win the competition.

The new guy.

The question remains. Is Step Up 3D any different? The answer is no. It’s the same old, same old.

Don’t take me wrong however. I LOVE this movie. Seriously, we all know we didn’t come and watch this movie to enjoy the “deep” storyline. We came to see the DANCE MOVES and my God, this movie is saturated with fantastic choreography. From the robot dance to the finals where The Pirates put lots and lots of LEDS on their shirt, the dances were out of this world. With the exception of a few of course, which looks like a bunch of people having a seizure. But that just probably me.

Did I mention that I watched this movie in 3D? After my horrible 3D experience (if you can even call it that) with The Last Airbender, I was understandably a bit reluctant to spend my RM15 for the ticket. Thank God it was worth it. Everything felt like it’s going to pop out any moment from the screen and some scenes were cleverly designed for this purpose. From the bubbles, the flying slurpee, splashing water on my glasses and so on. Now this is what I’m talking about.

Surprisingly, my favorite part of the movie is the one where Moose and Camille dance to “I Won’t Dance”. Nothing fancy and nothing acrobatic. Just two person dancing and act silly together. It felt so light-hearted, cheerful and somewhat romantic.(Yeah, I'm cheesy.)

Talking about romantic, there’s Luke and Natalie. Yes, they showed interest to one another and yes, they lived happily ever after at the end of the movie but somehow I didn’t feel like rooting for them. I don’t know, maybe it was poorly written and never got expanded enough due to the amount of dancing in this movie. Who knows, who cares.

In conclusion, would I recommend this movie? Absolutely. The dancers and the dance moves are out of this world. It’s fun to watch and well-worth the RM15 I spent. Oh, and did I mentioned the robot man? He’s cool too.

The Dog and The Monkey

I saw this story a while a back and I just couldn't resist changing it into Sabahan Malay. BUT with a few changes from the original,of course.

Enjoy. xD

Ada 1 ikur anjing sama 1 ikur munyit yang suka kasi main-main antara 1 sama lain.Adalah 1 hari ni durang sama-sama mansau-ansau dalam hutan.Siok-siok durang jalan, durang terjumpa ni 1 lampu ajaib,yang macam dalam Aladdin tu.Si anjing cakap,"Mmmbah,ni barang bagus ni tau.Cuba ko gosok gia,mangkali pandai kuar tu jin kasi tunai ko punya permintaan". Si munyit pun tanpa pikir banyak-banyak terus gosok tu lampu.Naaah,betul-betul bah kuar tu jin.

Si jin cakap, "Mmmbah,kestau apa yg kamurang mau.Masing-masing ni saya bagi 3 permintaan".Si anjing yang mimang terkenal dengan sikap gatal pun apa lagi. First wish dia, "Saya mau semuaaa anjing dalam ni hutan kena kasi tukar pigi betina". Dia punya permintaan kena kasi tunai.

Si munyit pikir lama-lama apa yang dia mau.Last-last dia cakap "Bagi saya helmet motor ja". Lepas tu helmet muncul depan dia,terus dia pakai cepat-cepat.Kehairanan si anjing sama sia munyit tapi dia teruskan dengan 2nd wish dia. "Saya mau anjing dalam hutan yg di sebelah tu pun kena tukar pi betina.Bulih ka?". "Bulih bah kalo ko", jawab si jin. Permintaan si anjing kena kasi tunai.

Lepas tu si munyit cakap "Saya mau 1 motor.Apa-apa ja,asalkan laju". Si anjing pun geleng-geleng kepala pasal terlampau pelik dia punya permintaan.Apa-apa pun, si anjing teruskan dengan dia punya wish yang terakhir. "Aaah,alang-alang sudah kan....SAYA MAO KO TUKAR SEMUUUA ANJING DALAM NI DUNIA PI BETINA!BIAR DURANG BEREBUT-REBUT SAYA SATURANG!!MWAHAHAHA!!"

Permintaan ditunaikan.

Si munyit pi naik motor baru dia lepas tu pecut berabis.Lepas lebih kurang 50 meter gitu, dia pun teriak kuat-kuat sama tu jin, "SAYA WISH TU ANJING SUPAYA DIA TUKAR JADI GAY!!!"

New Hair Color

Yesterday, I finally did the unthinkable. I got myself a new hair color for the first time, after all these years wishing for one.

One might say, "Minta puji jua ko ni. Why don't you do it a looooooooooong time ago? Bukannya susah.".You have no idea my friend. You wanna know why?

Mostly, my parents were against it. In their mind, people who color their hair are bad, bad people and they are the ones who terrorize this country with their bad-ass attitude, wrecking havoc everywhere, using their hair as a statement for their rebellious nature.

Not exactly true is it? Luckily I manage to talk my mom into it [We even went to the saloon together by the way. Don't ask me how I did it xD] and although my dad was surprised when he saw my new hair at first, he didn't have any complain. Can I say," Nasiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiib~" ? xDD

Next I was a bit intimidated about the result of the color. Will it look good on me or will I turn into a pilak wannabe? Since I don't have a fair skin nor a face with a hint of Korean/Japanese/Chinese look, my concern is justified. Luckily, it turned out well.

...at least in my mind it is. Not too bright but still noticeable.

Peduli la kalao kamurang cakap macam pilak. I still like it. ;)

Too bad.

But the fact remains.

Hi Gloria. :)

I'm gullible, that a fact that even I can't deny. But if there's one thing that can't fool me, it's would be a fake-advertising-profile on Facebook. You will notice them fake profiles straight away. These profiles are created just for the sake of promoting some sort of product or [usually pron] websites.

I'm very very sure all of you knows what I'm talking about. If no [xD] , here's a few pointers on how to detect one.

1. A friend request out of nowhere, from a hot looking girl [see Profile pic]
2. When you look at the profile, it always shows you blablabla and yadayada are now friends; from top to the bottom. It is extremely rare to see any comments written in this profile.
3. Status updates always got some kind of link leading to God knows where. Usually disguised in something like a quote and then a link at the end of the sentence. If there's anyone actually stupid enough to click that link, don't worry. I won't judge. IDIOT. :)

Sometimes, these fake profiles will suddenly wants to chat with you, popping out random messages on why you haven't replied, hi I'm still single or so and so. I pity the ones who fell for this absolutely cheap tricks.

By the way, I just received one. Just for shits and giggles, I'll reply to this so called Gloria Sanders sarcastically in this blog [because I know she's a bot. Bots don't reply, everyone knows that. :) ] This will look stupid, I warn you. Here we go.

First thing first Gloria, not even once did you message me in any sort of way. So, it's kind of predictable that I'm not answering you when there's no message to begin with. And yes. I don't want to talk to you :) .

Then you asked me whether we can be friends, and then move on to something more special. Oh no you don't Gloria. My mama always reminds me not to trust strangers, so my answer would be N to the O. Nice try :)

So what if you're bored? So what if you've created an over 18 profile? Ada aku kesah :D ???? And the fact that you're ordering me to register to proof that I'm over 18? Sorry, I'm just too lazy to do that sort of things.

And then Gloria logs in to God-knows-where. Oh, and it seems that her username is sexygirl81 over there. The 81 at the end definitely indicates that you were born on the year 1981, waaaaay too old for me...and you said want to move on to a relationship with me? I'm sorry Gloria.

God knows why I accepted her friend request.

P/S:I'm writing gibberish words right now.Somebody help me. It's either the coffee or the pressure of final exam that's finally getting on me....

P.I.M.P

I ain't no Charlie but all of you can be my angels.

This ship has taken me far away
Far away from the memories

Hold you in my arms
I just wanted to hold you in my arms

If you promise not to fade away
Never fade away

Black holes and revelations
Our hopes and expectations
Black holes and revelations

Hold you in my arms
I just wanted to hold you in my arms
