Update on The Run
2008-03-02 16:45:00
Hahaha, what a title to start my new post. Currently, I'm posting far far away from Alor Star, Kedah today. Yes, I'm so far away to the east of Kedah where I stayed with Kak Ifa at Kerteh, Teregganu and after all this time I think I starting to like this place more and more. I love the windy breeze in the mornings, afternoons, evenings or even at nights. Haha, it's all windy when you live near the beach, although I can't really see the beach from where I'm staying, more or less, it's all good for me. A sudden thought crossed my mind and I think that these Petronas workers are very fortunate to work under a company that is so rich that they would spend millions to make a brand new community from scratch to many houses, offices, gold resort, sports recreation center, a school for the workers children and even a brand new mall which is half the size of Midvalley, or maybe I'm just exaggerating on the mall but nevertheless it's a big mall. The thing that made me laugh hard when ...

away again?!
2008-02-27 18:52:00
It's been a helluva busy day today. I had to take care of my niece in the mornings and later that evening I followed my parents doing some groceries shopping and that particular night I tagged along with Kak Ayu and Mak to the mall because I needed a new jeans since mine currently nearing it's end while Kak Ayu wanted to buy Ain a brand nice, new pair of shoes. Hahaha :D . It was rather late that I realised I needed a pair of trousers so I quickly pleaded Mak to buy me a new one, and boy was it breezy. (I'm so spoiled :P) Yay, I've got myself a new jeans. And the thought that the next day I'm not gonna be around here made me down once again.Yes, I have to travel to East Shore of Malaysia once again. Terengganu, aren't you sick of me yet? because I already did. X( It's because there's plainly nothing to do there and last time was no exception. All we did was to visit places here and there without doing nothing actually. If we were going to shop, we will only bought things tha...

Friendship, maintaining what matters.
2008-02-26 16:41:00
Friendship, maintaining what matters. It's one thing to start a friendship, it's quite another to maintain it, to keep it, to stay on what Lewis called "the same secret path." Even strong friendships require watering or they shrivel up and blow away. That's why George Bernard Shaw touched an exposed nerve when we read the words he scribbled to his friend Archibald Henderson: "I have neglected you shockingly of late. This is because I have had to neglect everything that could be neglected without immediate ruin, and partly because you have passed into the circle of intimate friends whose feelings one never dreams of considering."It's so easy to take good friends for granted. And in a sense, we should. Like a comfortable pair of gloves, old friends wear well. But friendships that suffer from busyness and overfamiliarity can't afford to be neglected too long. They need renewal. If you want and need to keep true friendship alive and well, please, consider and think over a list of t...

What I wouldn't Give Away
2008-02-25 13:45:00
In response to Kak Syari's latest post, I decided to join Kak Syari's competition to win that e-points thingy. Before that I wasn't interested at all, but after browsing the entrecard website and knowing what 200 points can be done, I'm really pumped up by now. Hahaha :DCelebrating LifeWell, this picture is taken last year, a week or so before the SPM examination as an eternal memory of our friendship. This guys are my best mates and they've all been with me for 2 years already. When I was down, one of them would come to comfort me right away. If I was confuse, we all would sit down and talk. They wouldn't let someone hurt me even though I didn't really need the protection as I'm not really that frail but still, I do appreciate every little details that they did to help me up. Maybe, I sounded self-centered, but we did help each other with our daily lives. I did my part filling their holes while they did theirs by filling mine. I love you guys and this friendship that we hav...

I was checking my shoutbox when Irfan posted, you've been tagged. I was blur that time and went straight back to his blog and there, a post 8 things about him. He then tagged me, which I, reluctantly to do it. But, a friend of yours tagged you kan, just do it lah. So, what do you guys wanna know about me? Since, I have to write all about myself, and given the liberty whether to write it short or long, so I think I'll do medium. :PMy name would be Akmal Ghani but preferably be called Chom or AkmalG . Chom is a nickname given to me by a dear friend of mine. AkmalG is the name I created since I was in KSAH since most of the boys there have Akmal in their name. So, I'm pretty stuck with Chom right now. Feel free to call me Chom. Currently living in AS, Kedah.I can't wait turning 18teen this year but I wish I would not grow up so that I can remain being a teenager.

Totally Disastrous

As usual, today I went to learn how to drive and today's my last day of learning how to drive and damn it was a hectic one yet. I don't really know. I was really in a major nervous state that I do simple mistakes such as not giving the signal a little earlier than it's supposed to be and not breaking when doing a turn. And that Uncle what's-his-name-maybe weren't that forgiving after all. If I do something wrong he would asked me what I did wrong. Uncle, I'm still learning and you're the teacher, aren't you supposed to tell what I DID wrong. Sheesh, gimme a break already. He's screaming like mad whenever I do simple mistakes. Well, I can't blame him as he was doing his job. I can just blame me though and hope I will do better on the QTI test.8 hours have passed by, and now is the time for me to take the QTI test and hopefully I pass the test and will continue ahead with the JPJ test.

Little me
2008-02-22 13:30:00
When I browse some of my blogger friends' recent blog post, I had this urge wanting to show off pictures of little me when I was a lot younger. I was really-really small back then which contradicts my current state. Hahaha :P Well, you can't really blame yourself though. Some of the pictures are not that very good, maybe caused by the photographer? Which I convinced myself that it was ayah who took it. If it so, then it's good enough for me lah. XD. A few of the pictures include my sister, Kak Ifa and Mak as well. Lucky me, I had a scanner, so I can scan any of my old pictures. Irfan, if you want to upload yours, you can use mine. I don't mind! :)I'm the baby with Abang and Kak IfaThe man in the picture above there is ayah when he's in his 30s-40s I think.By the way, all of this photos are enhanced with adobe photoshop because some of it were very reddish in colour and looked very unrealistic.

It's me again. Yes, who else it's not me who've been running the blog. This week had been so dull to me. Nothing happened. No one died. No stories to be heard and told. Just plain old me this whole dull week. It's only the beginning I guess? Well, recently my sister had been indulging in this new multi-level business thingy which obviously does not bring any interest to me at all. Now, she had been dragging me along to help her with her business and help to set some things up which I did it, reluctantly. It's just because I can find the spirit to do all those things. It's not same as school where you have to do things that you were told to do because you were simply told to do so. It's also fun if you get to drag along your friends to help you.

Even going to school seemed so much more fun and beneficial than it's supposed to be (because I got to have fun with my friends). See? How much friends aff...

Let’s take a look at the three teams and examine their strengths, weaknesses and, of course, their other side value. :P Mark Nelson and Rovilson Fernandez I can't really lie to you guys that these guys are not that great because damn they are better. They're great with directions, tasks given and they also work cooperatively together. A powerful team, but much more like a sore loser when you add their cockiness and not-so-goofy jokes. So far, Marc, 31, and Rovilson, 30, have come first in eight out of the 12 legs of the race, a truly impressive feat so far. I must say, these guys are good with traveling it seems.

You may never know that Kak Jemah next door can sing better than Siti Nurhaliza herself or that Abang Jupri, your brother's friend of friend's cousin can hum much more better than P. Ramlee. In a way, this reality tv shows had been popping up nowadays in order to let those amateurs sing and have their own chance to shine on the stage. Despite of their new look, they're greater than some of our local singers. (not naming one, in case of a lawsuit :P).There's a lot of singing competition held in or outside our country.

This is what I dug out earlier while surfing the web. Please read it then. I'm REALLY glad that it's coming out late than we all had been hearing! Thank Allah S.W.T. Now I can go on my life happily! Hahaha :PPUTRAJAYA: The Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM) examination results are expected to be released on March 12. The timing of the release – between the end of the programme for the first intake of national service trainees on March 11 and the start of training for the second intake on March 18 – is to ensure that the affected students can collect their results while at home. “We don’t want them to worry about their results,” said an Education Ministry source yesterday. Last year, a total of 416,717 candidates sat for the examination at 2,909 centres nationwide from Nov 14 to Dec 8. As for the release of the Sijil Tinggi Persekolahan Malaysia (STPM) examination results, a Malaysian Examinations Council officer said a date had yet to be fixed.

As soon we stepped in the state, we were welcomed by many flags of various parties fighting their way to fish the people's vote. (I'm not Kay-Ay, dont worry. Takdak lah rahsia-rahsia kerajaan).

Quitting What's Bad
2008-01-31 08:10:00
This post is mainly about a dear friend of mine, whose age is the same as me. We entered the same high school together at Form 4 but I never ever talked to him or even get close enough to know him. He was an ex-MRSM by the way. The very reason is that, at that particular time, ex-MRSMs was a taboo word for us Govs. Until that fateful day the taboo word had changed into my miracle melody, which the wardens had decided to mix our rooms so that each room will have ex-MRSMs and Govs. At first, I was afraid of the idea of having to share rooms with ex-MRSMs. You know, their glance and stare was killing me. (Yes, I may sound stupid :P) After a while, I got close to my roommates and we become very close except that particular one. (Sorry, tak nak mention who's the person lah :P) Now back to the main person that I was talking about. Even after the mixture, I rarely spoken to him. Why I didn't speak to him at all? Simple, I've got no reason to.*Note*This next paragraph may or may not to c...

I'm taking this opportunity to give my sincerest sympathy to Indonesia's late 2nd Prime Minister, Allahyarham Suharto 's family for the loss of Prime Minister Suharto recently. He passed away recently at 1.10 p.m (local time) because of organ failure at 27th January. His loss will be a great pain for anyone who were close to him and to anyone who knew what he did for his own country. I hope this loss will bring a new strength for his family members to go on with their lives. Now, muslims, let us recite Al-Fatihah to him and pray that his soul will rest in peace and he will be placed among the souls that is loved by Allah S.W.T.I will take this opportunity to mention bits about what he did to Indonesia.32 years of ruling IndonesiaBuilding up the NationEnded the "Ganyang Malaysia"With that, I honor Suharto for what he did selflessly for his own people and country to make sure that they develop into a nation like it is right now.
