Which that 70's Show Character are You? -- Eric

My Result: Eric

"You are Eric! So ok you are kinda nerdy with how you love Star Wars so much. But you can also be a major smart ass, and for some reason the chicks dig you. Your constantly at war with your sister and father with constant bashing of each other but never the less you secr...etly love them. You are an all around nice person, and very loveable, you are surrounded by lots of friends who love to hang out in your basement. People just like you. By the way you might want to hide those naughty magazines before your mother or girlfriend find them!"

p.s : Pretty close enough. Digging chicks I'm not sure of that but for the whole description and for the story itself it reminds me of the thought of being a youth is to get wasted, and grounded by parents until you learn responsibility.

p.p.s : Basement I don't have any. Yeah, that's Yoda. I wonder how the description of this quiz will be if this green jedi master turn out to be the quiz master.

His Best Wishes.

He knows it’s just a matter of time. When it’s fated then it is. When once the word forever was a virtue and a promise, yet too heavy for two youthful hearts to hold and to share the same love destiny in reality. They knew each other well and they had their chance to share their affection but it came too early so he had to go, leaving her first with sadness followed by never-ending happiness, once their forever and it’s barely for her now to take it all. He thinks it’s time for both of them to move on or maybe she has moved on courageously since forever left him thinking could the curse still be broken. Or there’s no curse really. Only in their own world of grievance or resistance, if it ever existed.

Finally, it’s her day. It’s her turn to smile. It’s a rare act but worth the bliss. A blessing and a sign of maturity. Her ceremony will mark their new separated journey, to forget the crossing they once had together, a story of the inexperienced young lovers.

Congratulations.


Zero Somebody 2.

Hari ini Subzero telah ke kelas. Kebanyakan kelasnya telah dibatalkan. Mungkin kerana minggu pertama pensyarah masih lagi sibuk mengatur jadual atau pun menyusun kelas yang sesuai untuk pelajar. Persekitaran kelas yang kondusif sememangnya diperlukan untuk pelajar menyerap segala ilmu yang ditutur dan diajarkan oleh seseorang pensyarah yang berintegriti. For this so-called world class university.

Subzero woke up early in the morning and he thought that it was going to be a great day to kick-start with his so-called breakfast prior to the 8.30am class. He had his breakfast. It was good. So-called good. Why everything has to be so-called?

Obviously, it came out from a lecturer. His name consists of Prof. Ir. Dr. followed by his full name. Setiap 5 minit daripada syarahan beliau perkataan “so-called” itu akan muncul. So-called material. So-called world. So-called biodegradable objects. Mungkin diri beliau telah terbiasa dengan perkataan itu. So-called terbiasa. Subzero respects him in all ways as the lecturer has all of the major achievement and recognition a person can have. However, the best part is Subzero realized that having a Prof Ir. Dr. lecturer means that he has to attend conference more than the lecture itself. Semakin banyak kelas batal jawabnya. Wujud kegembiraan sementara di situ.

It was 2 hours of lecture. Whole 2 hours from the lecturer only which means there was not even a question to ask from the students. Either the lecturer had not given the chance for the students to talk or the students wholly understood the speech. Or even the students did not have any input at all in their head, including Subzero.


“Kalau bertanya takut dikatakan bodoh dengan soalan itu. Ah, biarkan sahaja. Bukankah tidak bertanya itu adalah norma seorang pelajar?,” Subzero bermonolog sendirian, feedback to himself at least.

Ironically, the next class Subzero had the same type of lecturer and he gave a lecture and so-called all the things in his 2 hours of lecture! Mungkin gaya syarahan masa kini. Perbezaannya cuma pensyarah ini jauh lebih muda daripada Prof.Ir.Dr. Dua dunia berbeza zaman tetapi memang ketara persamaannya. Mungkin sedikit diversiti diperlukan di ruang itu. Untuk kebaikan for this so-called world class university.

p.s : How do you define world class university? Pakai selipar ke kelas? Atau pun bertutur “thats mean” dalam diskusi sesama siswa mahupun antara pensyarah itu sendiri? Remeh tetapi itulah hakikatnya.

p.s.s : Holland has gone through to the world cup final! Eh, ke Netherlands? Everybody’s talking about Paul the psychic Octopus backing Spain to lift the world cup. Definitely orange would never be picked as you know Paul, yes, he’s an octopus or you can even call him a squid. Eight-legged squid that favours mussel for dinner. Beyond doubt seeing Paul making prediction is a joy to the bookies out there. Winner, winner, chicken dinner. Hopefully in the end Holland does not turn out to be Ayam Belanda.

Diari ini ditulis sepenuhnya tanpa motif. Nota rekaan semata-mata hanya untuk mengisi kelapangan masa. Bukan bertujuan untuk bermelankolik apatah lagi memeningkan fikiran pembaca dengan kata-kata penuh abstrak yang memerlukan seribu satu hujah untuk dicerna dan diterjemahkan pembaca yang majoritinya terdiri daripada pembaca urban (yang semestinya didefinisikan urban semata-mata bukan kerana memiliki akaun Facebook, Twitter mahupun Myspace. Friendster? Oh, sudah 10 ribu tahun ketinggalan zaman dan sebenarnya Myspace juga jatuh dalam kategori itu. Juga tidak juga kerana menonton Akademi Fantasi, medium khayalan penonton berfantasi sebagai superstar nasional jalan singkat).

Maaf dengan mukadimah panjang lebar itu. Juga maaf dengan gaya penulisan bebas ini. Tanpa format tetapi lebih kepada menulis mengikut gaya tentu emosi. Sebenarnya, semakin kita merasakan diri penuh perasaan dan emosi semakin lancar daya psikomotor memberi reaksi terhadap ruang tulis maya ini.

Zero Somebody 1.

Subzero merupakan seorang pelajar universiti. Lebih kurang sama seperti anda semua di luar sana mempunyai cita-cita untuk mendapatkan ijazah dan apa jua jenis kelulusan untuk menempatkan diri dalam masyarakat yang juga mempunyai iltizam, visi, misi, ambisi, motto dan perkataan – perkataan yang sewaktu dengannya yang membawa beban maksud dia seharusnya melunaskan tanggungjawab sebagai belia harapan bangsa dan negara. OK, crap. Actually, he’s not more than a student who’s studying for the sake of getting a general degree, something that he always wondered will he ever achieve that feat. However, there’s still a strong little sound within that gives him the force to believe with the purpose of the line that he has chosen would spare a fortune, if only he came out with a brave heart to succeed with the right attitude and aptitude. Ayat-ayat tipikal tetapi mungkin sedikit berguna kelak sekiranya ditenung dan difikirkan dia sejenak sambil melihat siling sebelum tidur. Itu pun sekiranya suara kecil itu resonans dengan semangat dalaman dirinya.

Subzero hanya seorang belia tipikal. Sememangnya lumrah menjadi seorang lelaki kelalaian dan lacking sense of urgency menjadikan dirinya bersifat laidback dan mudah hanyut dalam arus globalisasi dan hedonisme. Jadi tidak hairanlah 3 hari sebelum bermulanya semester baru universiti Subzero masih lagi belum mendapatkan sebuah rumah sewa untuk diduduki. Dia lebih selesa menghabiskan masa berhibur dan berlibur bersama rakan-rakan di tempat kediamannya. Lepak, lepak dan lepak memenuhi gaya hidup remaja lelaki masa kini. For a man, he needs a base before he can conquer. For Subzero, apa jenis base pun belum ada apatah lagi untuk conquer. Conquer as in succeeding whatever kind of skirmish given. Including to find the nearest food stall and football field. Oh, OK. Conquering the football field. Akhirnya, perkataan conquer itu menjadi relevan. (Actually, it’s the kind of phrase that he built to make himself feel more important in his head.)

Luckily he got a rental house. It was his last resort. Secara teknikalnya, rumah tersebut adalah sebuah pangsapuri. OK, that’s a big lie with the intention of getting a greater reputation. Rumah flat berumur berpuluh tahun mungkin to be exact. Subzero searched it on the net and the flat was the last call he made. Luckily, the owner has accepted his request to rent the house. He was so relieved until he took a look at the house a day before he had to register the classes for the new semester at the varsity.

Pada hari pemindahan barang ke rumah sewa tersebut, perkara pertama yang menjadi cabaran dan halangan terbesar adalah rumah itu berada di tingkat 5 tanpa lif, aras tertinggi bagi blok flat tersebut. Namun jangan sesekali menyesal kerana keputusan untuk duduk di rumah sewa itu merupakan keputusan dirinya sendiri. Sesungguhnya untuk menjadikan sesuatu perbuatan itu rasional perbuatan itu hendaklah dialaskan dengan suatu frasa jadi Subzero menjauhkan penyesalan tentang rumah sewa itu dengan mengalaskannya dengan kata alah biasa tegal biasa. Naik sahaja tangga setinggi 5 tingkat itu tanpa banyak karenah. To endure is the willingness to learn. Words of wisdom yang biasanya terdapat pada kalendar.


Setibanya Subzero di pintu rumah sewa barunya itu, dia menyapa rakan serumah barunya itu.

“Assalamualaikum. Nama aku Subzero. Aku lah yang menelefon kau untuk menyewa rumah ini,” sapaan pertama Subzero kepada rakan rumah sewanya seramai dua orang setakat hari itu. Dimaklumkan pada keesokan hari dua lagi penyewa yang merupakan pelajar juga akan mula berpindah ke rumah tersebut.

Mendengar nama Subzero membuatkan mereka sedikit terlopong. Apakah muka Melayu berkulit sawo matang ini bernama Subzero? Tiada nama Ahmad, Muhammad, Khairul atau nama-nama kebiasaan Melayu yang lain pada dirinya? Hatta, mereka tidak tahu bahawa itu adalah part of the plan. To keep himself anonymous in the house. Bukan dia mahu menjadi anti-sosial tetapi lebih kepada merahsiakan sedikit sebanyak identiti dirinya. He has the ideology of little-less known is easier. Mungkin dengan sedikit rujukan mereka boleh tertawa kecil kerana pada zaman kegemilangan permainan video Sega judul Mortal Kombat sinonim dengan karektor Subzero yang mempunyai hikmat membekukan objek dengan kuasa ais. Biarlah pun mewujudkan sedikit suasana skeptikal tetapi Subzero selesa dengan keadaan begitu.

Langkah pertama ke bilik yang telah diberikan. Tiada kipas, sedikit berhabuk dan sawang, tergantung poster The Chronicles of Narnia : Prince Caspian (mungkin peninggalan daripada penyewa rumah lama) dan mempunyai tingkap. Ya, sekurang-kurangnya baik mempunyai tingkap daripada tidak mempunya kipas kerana kipas boleh dibeli tetapi tidak pula pada tingkap. Sedikit kecewa tetapi lebih baik daripada tiada. That was when he thought of the word independent. Berdikari dalam membersihkan segala sawang yang ada dalam bilik tersebut not to mention the money needed to buy things in order to complete the room. Complaining rarely exists in him but looks like Subzero has to do so while adapting to non-complacency for a while.

It was a long day really for him. He had the chance to talk to his housemates. They were practically decent. That was something that made him happy after the hard day. Long story short it was a long long day for Subzero. He knew that the new chapter has just begun. It has already started when Subzero gave Cheezels treat to his new housemates. Politics exercise.

p.s : Adakah perkataan ambition telah dimelayukan? Jika belum sesungguhnya saya berbangga berbuat demikian. Barulah berjiwa perintis. Heh, ambisi melambung.

p.s.s : Penulis juga masih mempunyai akaun Myspace yang masih aktif. Oh, 10 ribu tahun ketinggalan zaman juga rupanya.

Damaged By Speed.

Hampered by another police summon. Under APJ 1987 PANDU LAJU. They do really want to stress out I was committed to that offence with those bold letter words on the letter, don’t they?

Looks like I’m going to treat my blogosphere in a way of telling everyone how I really feel everyday (as most of you would always tweet, kan? I just have a feeling that I got to earn some money to buy a mobile phone that can assist me in posting my thoughts throughout the day via twitter or else. For now there’s no Blackberry, there’s no iPhone. Only a phone that once cynically called as iLampu (you know who you are) because that’s the only feature that makes the phone really useful. Don’t worry iLampu. You have served me well. I am still going to keep you after buying a new phone after holding my envy towards most of my friends’ phones. Haih..). Unfortunately, this time you have to read my dissatisfaction and unpleasant sentiment towards this misfortune.


With series of ill-fated events I strongly believe that I was the victim of the complaint been made against. It is stated that place of offence was at Jalan Mahameru, Kuala Lumpur. It happened on the morning of 21st of May 2010.

It is a routine for me to go to Shah Alam within this June as I have to attend my Microprocessor intersession class. At first I thought of staying in Shah Alam to make myself easier not to miss the 2 hours of lecture throughout the weekdays but apparently I just don’t want to waste any joy of going out with my friends in Gombak at night particularly when the world cup campaign has begun. Who can resist shouting out loud cheering all the goals none other than with your friends? However, it should not have been the priority since 60km drive Gombak-Shah Alam-Gombak everyday is certainly not an easy task. Only working people would make themselves ready for it, not to mention the stress of enduring the traffic jam along Federal Highway. In spite of the charge, yes, I do remember. I drove the car smooth and patiently till I reached Shah Alam and that was the case.

To pay the summons is equal to forget all of these dreams below, to erase this wish list.


1. To buy a new pair of shoes. The only pair of shoes that fits me now is my pink striped Puma shoes. Actually, I have two other pair of shoes but have you ever heard a story of a man who can’t buy shoes for himself? He doesn’t know what his shoe size is and as a result he has two pair of shoes that do not fit his legs. 1st pair, too small and the 2nd one, you guess. (OK, they are big and I purchased them from a bundle store. The shoes are rare and I could not stand to see others to wear those green striped Puma shoes. I would be jealous as I found it 1st! Greedy,heh? If it wasn’t because of the big size those shoes would be the biggest bargain of all.)

2. New jeans, perhaps? Some might notice I wear the same boot-cut jeans when going out with them. Every man has something in common. We can have a closet full of clothes but still can’t figure out what to wear. Put on our favourite worn-out jeans and pair it up with a plain coloured t-shirt and now we’re ready for the whole day activities! I have three pairs of jeans only in my closet (still they are less than my friends owned, I swear!) and I might just have to buy another one. (For the favourite jeans, basuh dua minggu sekali tu normal, kan? OK, am joking, but still..)

3. To travel at least to another country within 2 years from now. How I envy seeing others’ pictures travelling all around the world. , I think for now I’ll frequently visit the payment counter while keeping the officers’ wage every month fixed. At any point, I will try to fund my trip to other country as I can’t let my blank passport pages go to waste. Krabi Island perhaps, anyone?

4. A new pair of football boots. Puma V-konstruct (1st grade ) and Puma King (2nd grade) both torn and worn-out.

5. Above all, all I ever wanted was a brand new phone. OK, iLampu. I betrayed you. I am thinking of buying a new phone. However, with this kind of fate I’m just going to stick with you.

From the list none of them will be in grasp. There’s nothing for now I can do to have them in these pair of hands. Only having the victim’s frustration of the fine given as I thought it wasn’t my fault.

In spite of the charge, yes, I do remember. Initially I was late for the class that morning..and I drove the car smooth, not to mention the speed until I reached Shah Alam. Have I told you that in the beginning, haven't I?



--dalam beberapa hari lagi akan menghadapi peperiksaan intersesi. Kelas tamat seminggu awal sememangnya bukan idea terbaik yang lahir daripada seorang pensyarah kerana salah seorang daripada pelajarnya tidak begitu menumpukan perhatian sepanjang cuti tersebut. OK, focus.

Help Him To Sleep.

Either it’s a misconception or a rarity, you can still grab a soft pillow and lay your head onto it without thinking of the nuisance that normally keeps people awake throughout the night. It’s an inconvenient moment but the truth is your body can never easily rest without clearing your mind and turning off the internal dialogues. The routine doesn’t work that way.

Sometimes, there are no words to describe how severe can it be, having the state of mind with no peace. In making no claim to be a paragon, you have to endure the nightmare with great fortitude. Have you ever wondered how brains can contain all of the memories of our deeds and sins of our past? Notably the sins and mistakes that we’ve done, not even to our greatest strength to think of our personal lapse with equanimity.

Something that human really weak at is to let go of the past. Every so often, let bygones be bygones phrase is just getting hard to be implemented.

Even a feckless person has a dream.

To live normally, to rest and to remain calm despite the emotional distress. In reality it should be simple. Even an end has a start, and a dream has to begin with a ... sleep.

(A friend of mine has criticised the other friend’s blog writing for trying too much on the meaning of his text. I feel that I am trying too much too to make this happen but hey, we can never blame anyone for pushing too hard, can we? It’s the effort that counts).
