Juggling Lives

I welcome the holidays! Even though it's just short, but I welcome it more than anything that I've ever wanted! I seriously need this. I can't stand juggling two jobs. It is seriously making me depress every night. Maybe that's part of the reason why I've been so in a bad mood at my night job. But I'm still loving TP.

Everything's just so much fun in the morning - except maybe preparing for lessons. The staff is friendly, the people there are great, heck I've got great students too! This one time, one of my students came up to me outside of class and said to me "Mr Syaf, can you come with me please?" and I was like "Err... why?" The student then said "I want to show you to my friends" then I went "What?!" Haha! Teaching is such a great profession - now if only I could stay. But alas, I've got other plans for myself and my future. Improvements are vital to this beautiful life of mine. 

A Portview of Kampong Ayer

Took a one night leave from work lastnight and spent the night with the guys. I've been wanting to hang out in Bandar for awhile, especially since it's so peaceful there at night compared to Gadong. And since lastnight being a Saturday night, Gadong would've been extremely jam-packed. So we went to Portview for dinner.

Great place to hang out really - and the photo on the left side is a rare moment... mofo scratching santet's DS, playing a game. Wahahaha! I wouldn't be caught doing that... well okay, I kinda did that first - but I stopped coz I felt silly.

Eventually, we ended up in Gadong lastnight and hung out at the bean. We were right about how full Gadong would be. Almost 11pm, the place was still full of people. Thank God we were lucky enough to find a parking space right in front of the bean.

Torture in A Grave of Insanity

Something I just started. Check it out.

Torture in A Grave of Insanity

I'd like to thank you those who helped me out with it, even though it was a really long twisted and sick conversation which became even more twisted and sick as we went deeper and thought more about it. And I quote "Great minds are twisted" ... or something like that.

Let the madness begin.

What Makes 100%?

What Makes 100%? What does it mean to give MORE than 100%? Ever wonder about those people who say they are giving more than 100%? We have all been to those meetings where someone wants you to give over 100%. How about achieving 103%? What makes up 100% in life?

Here's a little mathematical formula that might help you answer these questions:

If:
A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z

is represented as:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26.

Then:

H-A-R-D-W-O-R- K
8+1+18+4+23+15+18+11 = 98%

and

K-N-O-W-L-E-D-G-E
11+14+15+23+12+5+4+7+5 = 96%

But,

A-T-T-I-T-U-D-E
1+20+20+9+20+21+4+5 = 100%

And,

B-U-L-L-S-H-I-T
2+21+12+12+19+8+9+20 = 103%

AND, look how far ass kissing will take you.

A-S-S-K-I-S-S-I-N-G
1+19+19+11+9+19+19+9+14+7 = 118%

So, one can conclude with mathematical certainty that While Hard work and Knowledge will get you close, and Attitude will get you there, it's the Bullshit and Ass kissing that will put you over the top.

Fresh Out of the Can

I've been letting working life (or more like lives) get to me. But now, after having a night off, and spending a great afternoon with friends just relaxing and hanging out - shopping even - I realised the thing I missed out the most - my happiness. And I keep telling people not to sweat the small stuff but forget to really stick that in my own head.

Saturday's a great day. Been pissed off a lot because of work, especially with the people at the night job. Amazing how you can be so nice to a lot of people most of the time then they end up forgetting what you've done for them. No wonder I'm picky with the people I hang out with. Still, life has it's share of ups and downs.

Although 2006 started out with difficulty and the need of major adjustments in my life, I'm glad that it turned out great now. I'm able to go to bed early, most of the time before midnight. I wake up early with no problems these days and I don't get that sleepy in the afternoons anymore. Above all, I'm picking up on life where I left it a year and two months ago. A full year of sleeping mostly at 6 - 8am is enough. My body clock is back to normal - or at least it's the "normal" that most people keep telling me about.

I feel like a fresh new me now.
Or maybe it's the haircut I just had?

In Search of The Stream

Am I doomed for the rest of this month till April? Work in the morning, another job at night, lack of sleep everyday... life feel's like a huge pile of mess, unhealthy definitely.

It's been awhile since I've posted a decent entry here. Inspirations just didn't come about too often and when it did, it was when I'm away from any means of writing materials. At most times, I usually have nothing to say. Now, I've got plenty. I just don't have the time to do so.

Just to quickly post what I'm trying to say before I forget, I'm having fun with both jobs actually but the fact that I'm not getting my proper sleep is bad.

So what do I do? Do what I always do - stop thinking and keep following the stream of life. Eventually, I'll be on a smooth ride - to heaven or hell, only God knows.

Don't sweat the small stuff Syaf.
But dammit! This isn't small! =D

Of All We've Known

It's 9 o’clock and it’s getting dark and I can’t see the road
I flash my headlights into the dark night
I swear we’ll make it on our own

We're older than we used to be
this town holds no more to see
we’re fading in, we’re fading out
until I hear you say

Come on, come on
Hey kid, this is far too important for you to understand
She says be a man, you know this is what we both wanted
It’s time for us to let go
of all we’ve known

It’s 1 a.m. and we’re alone again, I reach out for the sky
My mind keeps playing all the words you’re saying
I’m always wrong when you are right

We re older than we used to be
This town holds no more to see
We’re fading in, we’re fading out until I hear you say

Come on, come on
Hey kid, this is far too important for you to understand
She says be a man, you know this is what we both wanted
It’s time for us to let go
of all we’ve known

- Just Surrender

Belated Tag

I'm running out of things to write these days. My life isn't particularly boring at the moment... although at most times I just spend the day sleeping till late afternoon, going to Taurean then off to work, but life is great nonetheless.

So, since I have nothing much to write about, I'll just drop some belated tag-replies =p

eyeronick: I'm not sure who you are but thanks for droppin the tag! But I've been snooping around, asking questions to some people, tryin to see if they know you... I've come acrossed some interesting facts... beware, the people around you are not what they seem to be... haha!!

nova: i had a bbq party! posted it on your blog a loooong time ago. but guess you didnt read that. but atleast, now that I've got you on MSN, it's easier to tell you! haha!

bonzhed/toyboy: iataaaah!! dasar lelaki sekarang nie... ... me excluded ofcourse

MisSTresS`: Hellooo!!!!

xHu & LiNa: Happy New Year to you two too!!!

Kreta VS Ayang

Dear abang,

ayang nak mintak kebenaran abang untuk bawa anak-anak balik ke
kampung. abang tak perlu hantar ayang sebab ayang mampu untuk bawa
anak-anak ke kampung musim cuti sekolah ni dengan bas.. abang jaga
lah diri abang dan kereta abang baik-baik... cuma ada perkara yang
ingin ayang luahkan disini... kereta baru abang tu mahal.. harga mencecah
100k barangkali.. sebab tu abang sayangkan kereta abang lebih dari
ayang.. sampaikan abang dah terlena dalam kereta abang tu sejak abang
beli 3 bulan yang lalu dah masuk 3 malam... abang sayangkan kereta
abang lebih dari ayang, nak tau ngape?

harga kereta abang tu lebih mahal dari wang hantaran yang ayah ayang
letakan masa kita kahwin dulu.. cuba hantaran ayang lebih mahal dari
harga kereta abang? tiap-tiap pagi abang mesti gosok kereta abang, nak
nampak berkilat..tapi ayang nak dapat kiss g.morning pun susah..

sejak beli kereta tu, sebulan sekali macam-macam aksesori abang beli
kat kereta, ayang nak dapat hadiah besday setahun sekali pun susah..

kereta sebulan sekali abang servis, abang kata kena jaga
maintainance..ayang nak dapat pi salon setahun sekali pun susah..

kereta abang make up lawa-lawa.. tapi kalau ayang make up lawa-lawa
abang kata ayang tak sedar diri. kereta abang bagi makan minyak
mahal-mahal cecah 100 setin pun ada, ayang nak makan pizza sekeping jer
masa mengidam anak kedua kita abang kata ayang mengada-ngada...

kereta abang kalau anak-anak sentuh sikit bodynya abang marah anak
macam nak makan, ayang jatuh longkang besar boleh abang gelak paling
menyedihkan.. ayang tanya ngape tidur dalam kereta? abang jawab takut
orang curi kereta abang.. kalau ayang kena curi?? ayang nak balik
kampung dulu.. anak-anak nak jumpa atuk dengan nenek depa.. tak nak naik
kereta abang takut calar.. ayang calar takpe.. jaga diri elok-elok,
sarapan ayang dah sediakan. ayang pi tak lama sekolah bukak ayang balik
lah dengan anak-anak.. pesanan ayang..

ABANG SURUHLAH KERETA. ABANG TU MASAKKAN MAKAN KESUKAAN ABANG. ABANG SURUHLAH KERETA ABANG TU BASUHKAN PAKAIAN ABANG. ABANG SURUHLAH KERETA ABANG TU GOSOKAN KEMEJA ABANG. ABANG SURUHLAH KERETA ABANG TU SIAPKAN AIR MANDI ABANG. ABANG SURUHLAH KERETA ABANG TU KEMASKAN RUMAH ABANG. ABANG
SURUHLAH KERETA ABANG TU URUT-URUT BADAN ABANG. ABANG SURUHLAH KERETA ABANG TU TEMANKAN ABANG TIDUR.


love,
ayang

For the taggers

Tag replies accompanied by mimi, lina and my uncle, yang duduk di hujung-hujung sekali - but next to the food. Lina ate a lot... or as she said "slow makan" (uh-huh!) =D Anyway, tag replies!

Sol99: hhahah! Welcome! =) *Waves back*

"Special" MisSTresS`: hahaha sorry sorry. Forgot to mention the details that matter. But know this, the ayam wasn't that great. Karas. Now I'm feeling rather hungry.

HH: what are you on about? Btw, thanks for the comics dood! I wanna read the rest lagi nanti!

Lilac: rezeki jangan di taruh2 - they are not meant to be kept but spent. So spend it on me, murah rezeki. Amin~~

xHu123: too bad, ia nada... sedih lah aku... but that's okay - it was a great night!! Erm... check out the last posts for details of it. And whatever you say, in her heart she knows she's mine. Hahahaha!! 

Giving A Place For Social Gathering

I wasn't sure what picture to use for this post - not that it's necessary but I'm beginning to find it cool rather than showing you guys just text. But then again, having too many pictures on a blog might take too long to load a page.

Anyway, I didn't take a lot of pictures from the BBQ - and especially not nice ones. Had to spend most of the time talking to the guests. It was fun nonetheless. Still, if only I had a lot of good pics to show. Check out my multiply for the uploaded pix.

The BBQ itself was great! Actually, it's called BBQ plus Xbox LAN Party - but somehow most of the people who were supposed to come and play games couldn't make it, so most of the time we ended up hanging out in the compound, talking to everyone there. That was still great - we had a live band by non-other than aHesHi (if you don't know, that's okay - it's santet's band) and I got to catch up with friends I haven't talked to for so long. That and the games inside kept the kids inside (yeah, my little cousins came and joined - surprisingly a lot of them came).

I also got to witness a lot of other things such as a group of people tryin to perform some jackass stunts, the live band ofcourse and the many funny things that went with it, kids dancing infront of the live band... followed by adults dancing in their chairs, people shouting as the music goes silent all of a sudden making a fool out of themselves, zool who kept on trying to make fun of the band every now and then, an uninvited singer making fun of the jackass stuntman and many more. Plus, we had two birthday cakes for a birthday girl and a birthday boy! Nyaman! err.. the cake I mean. And then sekalinya, the cakes were supposed to be a surprised but the birthday girl came into the house wanting to use the sink in the kitchen while they were preparing them! Hahahaa!! That was funny.

Overall, great night. The last guest left at almost 2 - and guess who? Zool. Thanks dood! He stayed from the start till the end (in between threatening to leave early lapas makan) But I know he loves me too much to leave early ;) Then, they (zool, my brothers, cousin) played a bit of football outside and then we just ended up hanging out outside talking for the most part of it (santet joined later on). A lot of people came but thank God, we had enough food... well sort of. Lina came! And... ada cerita celi, ia sasat. hahaha! But thank you for coming =) xHu had other engagements and ia kirimsalam ayam dulu then me! (adakah ayam dulu). Nisa said she'd come tapi nada jua datang2nya. Sajuk lamb. yaSien, entah manakah. I only saw his message on MSN when the party was done (err.. actually, ramai orang left me with messages on my messengers about the BBQ but I was busy outside all day - SORRY GUYS!). And... yeah. In terms of people, they weren't as many as I expected - still banyak though. I counted for my own record - 47 guests, and the rest were family members - and we're talking about 20+ people including the kids.

So yeah... great night. I wish I can mention more about the BBQ but I'm too tired. Till the next BBQ =)

Another Sleepless Night

I can't sleep. I don't feel like writing. I wanna watch a movie but I've got nothing that interests me. I just finished watching Lost. I want the next episode but it's still downloading. I want so many things but I can't have them. I think I will go and play a game now.

Mysterious Girl

Who is she? I don't know. All I know is she's an Indonesian. I saw her, took a photo with her, and I don't even know her name. Who is she? Entah. 

Lepaking and its Happenings

I remember what i did today! (wahaha tua udah) I woke up around 2pm, got ready and went to Taurean to meet the guys. A surprise was waiting for me, and there was faiz hangin out with santet! Haven't seen that guy for years! So we just hung out and ... yeah talked. Anyway, he left early and so did zool, leaving me with santet alone.

Then we messed around with Jan's (one of the waiter) christmas hat. Oh, speakin of which, Taurean's already set up a christmas look complete with a christmas tree! The waiters and waitresses all are wearing christmas hats! It was cool.

Then, while we were there, this girl came up to our table and sat to the chair next to me - i went "Oh my God!" It was ani! Thought I won't see her until next year, but there she was hanging out there. It was nice of her to approach me though =D

But that wasn't the last happening at Taurean (macam2 saja ani wah). Later on that evening, this woman came to our table to talk about this new network scheme she's in, which will be introduced in Brunei soon (kin, one of the ex-waiters of Taurean and a friend, told her to talk to us - bagus...). We spent about 20mins or so talking - got me interested a bit but I doubt I'll be joining. So siapa kan mau kaya laju, and is really active in this thing, let me know =)

Santet went off for jammin while I went home for a bit, coz we were gonna hang again later at farmbasket then off to dynasty for dim sum. Then at home, apanah? My dad wanted to use the car - talking to me while I was playing Call of Duty 2 on the Xbox (that game rocks!). Somehow, while I was concentrating on the game, I agreed. Then apanah? My dad had to send me to farmbasket (haha main kana antar) and I asked zool if he could send me home after. Baik jua ia atu baik. Jarang tah tejumpa orang macam atu mwahahahaaa!! Nisa come back soon! It's been awhile since you've picked me up and sent me home! =p

Dynasty? That place rocks!

Infected Tag Replies

This is my PSP with 'Infected' playing online. 'Infected' is the latest game I bought and I am so loving it. Another addiction to add my list of PSP games besides SOCOM and GTA. Portable gaming rocks! This photo was taken at Farmbasket, Kiulap - my latest lepaking place. Anyway, tag replies at last!

xHu: apa lagi photoshop?! hahaha banar tu - one PSP is mine, the other two are belong to my two brothers, and the last one is my cousin's =) bah bali tah satu, siuk jua tani lepak one table, semua pakai PSP surfing and let the whole world drool as they see us lepak with PSPs - you, me, nisa and lina! hahahaaa!! *gives noor a look*

Lilac: udah atu baru tah ucap org lawa... I dont need you to tell me that... everybody knows that, even xHu... HAHA! anyway, what banner? cana? *ignored the Hitch request*
