Why Do People Makes Their Lives Hard?

Wednesday, May 9th, 2007

Usually when I hang out with people, be it my colleagues, friends from varsity or simply old friends from school time, this particular phrase will often be spoken at least once:

Meh, life sucks

True to a certain extent, initially I thought.

Today I arrived a little late to work, and decided to have my own solitude by having breakfast alone. I purposely go to the San Francissco cafe located near my office because usually my colleagues don’t visit this place. Saves me from accidental “hang out”. Don’t get me wrong though, not that I am anti-social or running away from them, just that once a while it is nice to be on your own enjoying yourself as your partner.

Naturally, when you’re alone you tend to think about stuff. So a thought come to my mind - why do people often makes their life harder? (more…)

Torn is Torn :(

Tuesday, May 1st, 2007

I’m quite a big fan of Natalie Imbruglia, ever since her album. Naturally, one of my favorite song is ‘Torn‘.

I’m also never a big fan of the Akademi Fantasia (AF). My attention was drawn to tonight’s show because I heard the song ‘Torn’ being performed by one of the students.

It completely reminds me on Siti Nurhaliza’s early attempt to sing in English.

It is Torn. Completely :(.

What is XD?

Sunday, April 29th, 2007

While this might not be a strange term for most of you that always chats with me via instant messengers, I do get asked "huh? what is 'XD'?". Most of the time I manage to explain it in words.

But sometimes certain people (especially those that takes life way too seriously) fails to understand what does it mean.

'XD' is an emote (yes, similar to :) or :( we always use). Literally, here's now 'XD' would look like:

XD

Understand now? It represents an excited emote :)

Now let's spread the word!

Hit and Miss

Sunday, April 22nd, 2007

Today I just realized that no matter what I did, no matter what the intention is, it is always my fault in the end - my priorities, mindset, intention, ideas are never right.

Bicycle Sign

They are always wrong.

I'm always inconsiderate of people surrounding me, no matter how much of me they burned every single minute of their existence.

Maybe I tried too hard sometimes.

Can't seem to be me any more.

Seems that my kind days are going to be over. I hope it will not be, but sometimes I just can't help it.

It's been two years :)

Time feels very short sometimes. At one point, it feels like an eternity. These words have been said so many times by so many people. But there's no other words that can replace them, thus they are said over and over.

The mark of the second year leaves a very deep impact to us, even though it's gradually building up.

What matters is that we are getting so much stronger than before.

It is almost impossible to stop us.

We PWN!

Of Pink Cellphones and British People with Bad Teeth

Wednesday, March 28th, 2007

Cellphones (or hand phones, or mobile phones, however you like it) are mainly produced in black in the early 90-s, as a mere "off the wall" phone. In the early 2000s, cellphones started to come in "safe" colors like blue, silver, white and grey.

Only in the recent years that cellphones started coming with almost any color thinkable, and can be further changed, thanks to various easy to change "skin" phone housing that cost a dime nowadays. Cellphones have change from a mere phone to a communication tool to a fashion statement. One of the popular fashion color is Pink:

So what about the Pink Cellphone?

Five Reasons (of Why I Blog)

Tuesday, March 27th, 2007

Thanks to the usual "nothing to do in the first three hours in the office" syndrome, I leisurely visited Fazri's blog, and WHOA! I got TAGGED!

Fird Showcased in a Museum

And the question was "Five Reasons Why I Blog"

  1. To Write (and so does everyone else that blog) - this is quite odd, really. I am not the best person you would find if you need anyone to write something. I naturally don't like to write. However, I started finding writing about anything, and especially guides satisfies my self most of the time. So yeah, the blog exist as a medium for me to write all sort of things
  2. To B*tch/Rant/Complain/etc - I don't do this often, but sometimes when I am in a pinch, whereby it is very difficult to convey the message to certain individual or the masses - I will resort to deliver it in my blog. Most of the time the targeted individual/company might not even know about the existence of this site, but that doesn't matter
  3. To Share & Show - Often I will stumble upon some weird scenario or sighting that I wanted to share with others, and here is where I post them. I also occasionally will talk about some of my gadgets/stuffs that I recently acquired, although somehow lately the desire to do so have diminished tremendously
  4. To Fill Time - blogging often means more than simply writing. Nowadays I'm noticing that I will usually find reference of certain uncommon subjects in Wikipedia and read about it, link it in the post, and gained some knowledge at the end of the day. It's also what I do (sometimes) when I need break from work, or when I have free time in the office.
  5. To prove that we can always do things because we can!, right, Fazri? :D

Now let's see who do I want to tag? Justin, Jen, Shiro and Edo!
