Welcome to the family NAZMI IZFARHAN!


This is my first nephew what was born in Kuching. The first child of my sister and her husband. Nazmi Izfarhan bin Nadzari. Born on 28th December 2008.

My sis had been checked into the maternity ward since last Wednesday, 25th December. The Docs said that she'll under go operation either that day or the next, but keep on getting postponed till Saturday. She was admitted into the Operation Room on Saturday night, around 9pm.

But he only came out the next day...12.30am laa...

There were complications that we heard off about the baby but luckily he's all right. And most importantly...he's a boy. That means I can hang out with him once he's grown up. : )

A Year Ago I Had An Accident...

Date : Friday, 28th December 2007
Location : Taiping, Perak

I was going out with my Pak Su Pian who I just call Pian coz he's 2 years younger than me. Been calling him by his name since we were kids even though he's my uncle. We rode on his motorcycle. I was the passenger since I i have no idea how to ride a bike. ; )

It was around 10 where we were coming back from Taiping's TESCO. I've been staying inside most of the days and since the whole family went out this morning, I've decided to go out at night too. Earlier that day the two of us with mak and abah jalan-jalan around Taiping. Visiting relatives and tourist attractions. Late in the afternoon me and Pian went to Sepeneh for some old skool mandi sungai.

The journey back to home took about 30 minutes as our kampung was kinda far from town center. By the way my kampung is in Batu Kurau.

As usual Pian was speeding at 100kph. It didn't bother me much normally as we would end up okay...but not that night. When we almost reached our kampung Pian hit a hole in the middle of the road. At that speed the collision causes the bike to threw me off the seat. But I did fell on the seat again but with only half of my ass on it....I was sitting on the bike with my right leg being drag on the road.

Pian realizing that I was about to fall off the bike tried his best to pull me up, and so did I. But that attempt failed miserably as we both lost grip of each other and there I go...

My world was spinning as I was rolling on the road at godspeed. This time I was worried about the injuries from falling from the bike. One time I'm looking in front then the next it was the view behind...front and back, front and back for countless times. By this time my worries escalates when I had the back view because there were was cars coming from behind...now there's the possibility that the car behind would hit me too.

After a few seconds I stop rolling. On the bright side I was rolling into the other lane, the incoming lane. So this means I wont be hit by the cars behind me. But then the incoming traffic might. But I didn't get hit by the incoming traffics. It was 10+ by that time and living in the kampung, during those hours no one goes out any more. People are just rushing to go back home.

I felt pain through out my entire body. Still lying down I looked at myself. My arms and elbows was bleeding, so I guess some other parts is too. The cars that was behind me stop directly infront of me. The drivers came out and approached me. They help me to get up. They took off my helmet too. Luckily the helmet prevents me from having any injuries on my face.

Then Pian came. He was OK. He didn't crash or sumtin'. Instead he stop bit further from where I fell. He asked me;

"Apasal ko boleh jatuh plak?"

I replied by laughing and giving him a gentle slap on his face. It was gentle, so he laugh with me too. Seeing that both of us were okay the drivers went back to their cars and drove off. Me and Pian on the other hand went to sit at the bus stop. I still felt pain through out my body. Took my shirt off and realize that the road scraped off a piece of my left shoulder and my left elbow. Bleeding on my fingers and toes as well.

Even though I was in shock, I still rode on the bike home. Need to go to the hospital as soon as possible. When I reached home, abah was outside the house taking some fresh nite air. He was more axious about my incident compared to mak. Maybe she's just keeping it cool since I manage to came back.

Mak, Abah and Pian drove me to Taiping's Hospital. No stiches was done as my wounds wasn't that deep. But It hurts like hell when the nurse was cleaning my wounds. The left side of my body was the part that injured the most. Therefore I could only lie on my right side when I sleep...and when ever I lie down, which what I do most of the time. THIS WAS HELL! I never felt this type of discomfort through out my entire life. It took me 3 days to be able to walk proper ly with minor pain and by the next Wednesday, I was in Pavillion KL shopping. ; )

This was the first time I had a serious accident with this level of injuries. Surely something I'll never forget through out my entire life.

And that is why I'm celebrating this day with the futsal event. To remind me that I survived the ordeal and to see that my body still works properly.

To see that I am still alive.

To remind me that the Almighty gave me a chance to live.

Ruff Edge - Jangan Berhenti



Yeah...I know some of you would start to burst into laughter by now. But yeah... I used to digg them.

Ruff Edge...

Heard them... like them... loved them... REALLY LOVED THEM... hated them...

Never listen to them ever again...till last Monday.

I heard a new track from the new line up...

Compared to some people... I 'listens' to a song... I don't just listen... I 'listen'... word by word.. And that very reason was why I kinda digg Ruff Edge's new material. The track kinda tell about their struggle after the "downfall". How they word hard to gain back what they've lost. The music is quite nice... soothing... They sound smoother than they've ever been. Which is a nice change. The lyrics is inspirational.... Can't wait for other tracks... and the album.

Good luck to Ruff Edge..

# I loved the last pic at the end of the video.... all 8 Ruff Edges... Perhaps they do get along?

And I said my holiday was boring...

So far I wud hafta say today was the busiest day I've been through;

1. Woken up by mak at 8.30 am coz sis had another medical check up at GH. Owh...my sis came back about 3 weeks ago coz she's at the hiatus of her pregnancy. So I shud be getting my new nephew in January. ; )

2. After dropping them off I went to Kaya&Toast at 3rd Mile for breakfast. Didn't get to have breakfast at home. Had a milo peng and a peanut honey toast.

3. 10.30 - Went off to Wisma Saberkas to send my printer to PC Image. A few weeks ago it was raining so heavy that a few part of the ceiling of my room leaked and of all the stuff in my room it hafta leaked directly on top of the printer. Go figure... Then mak called saying that sis is done with her check up.

3.5. I parked in Saberkas when I went there. Far end of Level 3B. When I wanted to leave I found that a pick-up have been parked a few feet behind my car. &*^# man! It tooked me 20 minutes to get out of the parking coz the pick-up was parked to close to my car. In my effort to get out of the parking I manage to leave a few scratches and dents on the pick-up... Serve him/her right.

4. Go pick them up at GH then went to Kaya&Toast at Satok coz they haven't had their breakfast. Second time at KT today.

5. Went to Wisma Satok coz sis had to scan sum document. Since my 3-in-1 printer was out of service she had to go to a cyber cafe to do it instead. Funny thing happened at the 1st CC that we went to... the owner wouldn't talk to me unless I took my cap off coz they had this 'No Cap' rule.. Bodo la..

6. Went to India Street, sis wanted to find sum stuff there. I didn't follow them here. Instead I went to Electra House coz I just realized its been years since I went inside. Last time when I was in Green Road I always go here after my Friday prayer at Masjid Jamek or Masjid India... owh the good old days..

7. Sis wanted to check out sum stuff at Poppies, coz I used to work there, so Spring it is. Meet sum of my old colleague and supervisor. Checked out the stuff in the store like the RM4000 baby stroller! Had lunch at Sugar Bun.

8. Last but not least, we went to Sarawak Plaza coz I wanted to buy an Action Base for my Gundam. : )

Our 'family outing' finishes at 6.30 pm where we all safely arrive at home, and an aching left knee for me...

1/100 Gundam 00


Hah haa.... I finally went on and bought it.

1/100 scale Gundam 00(that's Double O) from Gundam 00 Season 2. Initially I wasn't planning to get it till next year, but I was driven by envy when a fren bought an Astrea Type F yesterday.

That and the fact that I suddenly got enuf cash drove me to go and buy it. Bought it at a store in 3rd Mile, where coincidentally a Swinburne student work. Since I knew the guy, he gave me a discount on the gunpla. It cost me RM105, then I spent another RM16 to buy a couple of watch batteries for the Twin Drives on 00(yeah..this one got lights. A first for a 1/100 model).

I'm still trying to assembly the model.

Would post up the pics once I'm done.

X-Men Origins: Wolverine



I've never done this before but due to how eager I am to watch this movie I've decided to do a post on this movie. Marvels Comics is proud to bring you; X-Men Origins: Wolverine.

This is a spin off from the X-men franchise which is about the adamantium clawed X-Men, Wolverine. The story follows Logan @ Wolverine's history before his X-men years. So don't expect to see Cyclops or Jean or Professor in this movie coz the timeline is way before Wolverine met any of them.

But do expect to see other X-men characters such as a young Sabertooth, Deadpool, Gambit and Blob. The movie is expected to come out sum where in May 2009, which would be a month before another movie to look out for, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen.

Yippeee! : )

Twilight


Just got back from watching Twilight with Farid. I never planned to watch Twilight actually but since E! channel keep on saying how cool this movie is then I've decided to check it out myself.

I kinda like the movie. Can't say its my favourite but I really like the new take on vampires... No stakes... doesn't burn under sunlight.. Super strength..speed.. Owh how I missed Buffy and Angel.

I remembered sumtin E! said bout how the vamps dresses in this movie,. I hafta say I kinda like how they look. Got sum old skool thing going on, perhaps because of the era they came from.

At the end of the movie I found out that there's gonna be a sequel. So at least there's sumtin to look forward to. After the movie me n Farid went to McD for dinner. Met Wan there and Ezra at Mojo. Haven't seen him since Raya.

Getting 'High' from Linctus

Yeah.. I do mean 'high' like what junkies always feels. I was sick since Monday but didn't bother to go to the clinic coz I thought the fever would fade away after a few days. But come Wednesday and the pain was getting worse.

I couldn't even get of my bed because of the sharp pain in my head every time I try to move. Even coughing or a sneeze would trigger the pain. I lost my appetite. Running nose... man....the state I was in. So later that day abah decided to bring me to the clinic.

We went to Klinik Bina, sum where near Choice Food Center. That was also where I was circumcised so I was hoping to meet the same doctor that turned me into a man coz that was the last time I went there. But instead that night it was a young gorgeous female doctor attending me. Heh...the sight of her made me feel a bit better.

Anyway I was sent home with a RM30 bill(which my mom paid for) and 3 medicines; sum pills for the headache, pills for the fever and my personal favourite... the cough syrup for the soar throat. The reason why I loved this medical concoction is because each time I take a dose, my head feels really 'lite'...if you know what I mean. Well... it did say on the manual that the concoction would result in drowsiness. And it did say that i was just suppose to take 10ml each dose instead of 15ml like what the clinic prescribe, so i guess i was over dosed. So the next day i've decided to lay off the cough syrup. Give it a day to detox then start again on the right dosage.

QUARANTINE



No...I'm not being quarantine for what-so-ever reason. Its a title of a movie I just finished watching just now. Movie Day today so I didn't want to waste it since its the only day in the week one can watch a movie for RM5. So today I've chosen Quarantine.

Its a movie about an apartment sumwhere in US that has been quarantined because of a biological contamination. The movie was from a first-person view based on the lens of a TV news video camera.

It started off with a news reporter and her cameraman following a bunch of fire fighters and the apartment's owner to a residents' house. This was following a 911 call that was made stating that the lady of the apartment was screaming in her apartment earlier that night. Then the story basically starts off from there onward. Before the residents and others had a to escape from the building the government suddenly sealed off the entire building...quarantined.

This would be a much better version of "zombies" @ "the-dead-biting-of-other-people-heads-off" monster. I've always enjoyed zombie movies ever since Resident Evil. The concept of the world infested with living dead and those who are still alive have to fight for their survival seems to be very intriguing to me. I wonder how would it feels like if we were to live in such reality....

Here's some of the zombie themed movies that I think are worth watching.
