Jogoya and TGI Friday's
Jogoya on the other hand would offer an authentic Japanese delicacies. If TGI Friday's garners its popularity through the manifestation of Americanised menu, Jogoya would venture into cuisines ranging from Chinese, Western, Japanese, Malaysian and a lot of other styles while keeping its Japanese gastronomy remains impervious and unaffected. This has made Jogoya an irresistible place to enjoy delicious cuisines as well. Can't wait..
Crushed
I can't analyse thing correctly at the moment. I am unable to get a clearer picure of what is happening. The more I tried to figure out what happened, the pain is mercilessly increasing by nanosecond. I need a break.
Honestly, there is a glimmering hope still. Would I work it out? Does it have its value anymore? Or should I just let it go, really really letting it go? Should I pretend like everything is alright?
This is a game that I am bad at. I am such a loser, unable to get a hold of myself even till the first half of it. If I lose this game, I could imagine myself falling onto the ground, with my jaw dropping and my eyes bewildering and my body trembling. It would not be good, would it?

Siti Nurhaliza
This is the latest one.. Taken right after her autograph session at Konsert Satu Suara. From left, Yanna, Nana, SITI NURHALIZA and I.. (Beauty and the beast, no? I mean CT & I)
Bukan Cinta Biasa
You know to whom am I dedicating this song to, don't you? Right at this moment, I am in a junction. To pursue the love of my life is like sacrificing every other thing that I love truly and unconditionally. Little can I do about this. KU TAK BERDAYA, HANYA YAKIN MENUNGGU...
Atas sebab ada duka
Cinta yang ingin ku tulis
Bukanlah cinta biasa
Dua keyakinan beza
Masalah pun tak sama
Ku tak ingin dia ragu
Mengapa mereka selalu bertanya
Cintaku bukan di atas kertas
Cintaku getaran yang sama
Tak perlu di paksa
Tak perlu di cari
Kerna ku yakin ada jawabnya...ohhh
Andai ku bisa merubah semua
Hingga tiada orang terluka
Tapi tak mungkin,
Ku tak berdaya
Hanya yakin menunggu
Jawabnya
Janji terikat setia
Masa mengupas segala
Mungkin dia kan berlalu
Ku tak mahu mereka tertawa
Diriku hanya insan biasa
Miliki naluri yang sama
Tak ingin berpaling
Tak ingin berganti
Jiwa ku sering saja berkata..ohh
Andai ku mampu mengulang semula
Ku pasti tiada yang curiga
Kasih kan hadir
Tiada terduga
Hanya yakin menunggu
Jawapan...

Godly matter..
Consider a man who is living a life of a prophet. He is very saintly. Very down-to-earth. Very inspiring. Very generous. Very kindhearted. He is also the moral pillar. He is the perfect role-model for every living thing. Very much adored by everyone. He has committed no sin. He never lied. He has no criminal record. He makes the blind see. He makes the poor feel warm. Those who can't walk would run at his presence. He is CLEAN and PURE.
He HOWEVER, belongs to no religion. Neither he is a Muslim, nor a Christian. He believes in no Superpower but he believes in only being morally good and being humanly. When he died, would the God whose Christians dutifully worship or any other God for this matter recognize this man as his Shepperd? Would he be spared a place in Heaven? Or would he be condemned for his ignorance to acknowledge the presence of the Divinity despite his saintly act during his lifetime?
Belief and Faith
When my faith and yours is dissimilar, why can't you learn to be respectful? In any teaching of any believe that either one of us is clinging to, I choose to believe that none says that IT WOULD BE ALRIGHT to MARGINALISE others of different faith. Sadly, the minorities have to suffer and bear the mockery, the jeer and the cynical remarks that they are being awarded with.
Having the authority does not make you more holy. Plus, you don't have the right to say ONLY WHAT YOU BELIEVE IN IS THE ONLY TRUTH. Happen to be that yours is IN FACT NOT THE RIGHTEOUS ONE, how would you handle that in the end?
Please people, before you even have the thought of labeling people as rough-edged, misled or something, recalculate your judgment. It could possibly be that those beliefs that you find disgusting is the REAL LIGHT that you need to brighten you soul.
If others find their innate solace by giving offering to their Superior one by the act of slaughtering an animal, or maybe by chanting, or perhaps through dancing or howling or inflicting self-physical pain, what on Earth makes their ways of honouring their Divinity less dignified than what you or I believed in?
Eating my anxiety
Leaving it behind
Mest - This Time
Nothing else seems to matter
Sitting to watch the sun die
Goodbye
Feeling uninspired
Left alone and tired
Waking up to nothing
I need something
I can't say goodbye forever
But I'll say goodbye for now
This time, like last time
It's over
I'm leaving this behind
This time, like last time
It's over
I'm leaving this behind
The walls are closing in now
I'm walking through it somehow
Waking up with nothing
Give me something
I've lost all sense of meaning
Staring at the ceiling
No longer believing everything
I can't say goodbye forever (I can't say goodbye forever)
But I'll say goodbye for now
This time, like last time
It's over
I'm leaving this behind
This time, like last time
It's over
I'm leaving this behind
I can't stand another day without you
But I have to walk away
Infatuations got me going crazy
Desperation makes me stay
I'm leaving this behind
This time, like last time
It's over
I'm leaving this behind
This time, like last time
It's over
I'm leaving this behind
I've taken all that I can take
I've taken all that I can take
I've taken all that I can take
So I'm leaving this behind
I've taken all that I can take
I've taken all that I can take
I've taken all that I can take
So I'm leaving this behind
I'm leaving this behind

Anyway, nothing else matters but to make things right! And that is what I am working on now. Wish me the best!!!!!
Walking away...
Goodbye.

CNY Holiday
Last Saturday, I went out with Sharon and Ted, my all buddies. We have not been meeting each other for nearly 6 years. We met up at KLCC. Planning to visit the Sky Bridge but the ticket was not available. We should have come earlier. But, never mind. We have a lot to catch up and we sat at the park exchanging stories. Then, we decided to go to Bukit Bintang. We had our dinner at The Ship and it was splendid. I tried their Sizzling Steak and I would not hesitate to award it with two-thumb up. Later, before we proceed to enjoy some dessert at Secret Recipe, we went strolling along the famous BB Street.The real fun was about to kick off. It was 2100 when we stepped into a club. It was the best entertainment outlet in Malaysia, Funtheque and we were entertained by the best live band, "Freemix." The show, the ambiance and the music were spectacular. I DANCED and I DRANK but I wasn't drunk. We shared a barrel of chilled Tiger beer.It was nearly 3am that we decided to leave and took a cab home. I stayed at their place and only went back to UKM the next morning. The morning after was, hahahahahaha.. but, I managed to reach my room in one piece, unharmed.
Came Sunday. The most awaited evening!! It was a night of miracle. 2 stars and a MEGASTAR would be sharing the stage for Konsert Satu Suara. The concert was expectantly breathtaking. Come on! The concert featured two award-winner, Aizat and Faizal Tahir and Malaysia loveliest songbird, Dato Siti Nurhaliza. I was so thrilled and elevated. Surely, my animated companions were as excited as I was. Dya, Yanna, Nana and I started our journey to Istana Budaya as early as 5pm because we were not really acquainted to the place. We claimed our tickets and we filled our growling stomach at McD before indulging ourselves with the high-class performance!Entering Panggung Sari, I could feel the vibe already. I could feel that the night would be a great night and I was not surprised to find out later that it was indeed glorious, outstanding and terrific. The momentum from the beginning till the very end was extravagant!!! No regret for purchasing a RM123 ticket. Furthermore, our seats were the fourth row from the stage. I don't have to tell you how privileged we were for such a magnificent view from our seat. Before we headed home, we went for a delightful supper at A&W. Owh, how I love their rootbeer!!And, it was already Monday! At around 12 in the afternoon, Dya, Yanna, Keah and I went to Alamanda for our lunch and a movie. The movie, "True Legend" was a bit upsetting. Not too bad but would not recommend you to watch it. Do not be fool by the big names like Jay Chow and Michelle Yeoh. It was merely the strategy to woo the movie-goer like me only. After the movie, it was time to bid Keah goodbye. We dropped her at Putrajaya Sentral. Hers homecoming was unplanned. Her husband-to-be bought her a return ticket from KL to Kuching at the eleventh hour and before she knew it, home she was at night.
It had been a long day and I was soundly asleep after returning our rented car at 6pm. When I woke up at about 8, I felt really hungry and was thinking of trying out a new dining place. Sapri was reluctant at first because initially he wanted to go to McD but I insisted to go to San Francisco Pizza instead. We invited Ambun along as well as Mr & Mrs. Dya. I was extremely relieved that everybody LOVED their meal. In fact, we planned to come again!! I picked up a right place and I am glad that I did.
The night was still young. So going back would be daunting. We spent a long hour at Salam behind Fariz for a very very interesting sharing. Before the sunrise, we headed back to UKM. And the next day was Tuesday. We went out for our late lunch at McD since our cafe provided us with nothing but the gravy and the thick sauce with countable pieces of uninviting meats. Later at night, I got to enjoy my mum's home cooked delicacies. Thanks to Jimmy for taking the trouble to bring me the meal all the way from Sibu. I am indebted to you Jimmy. My mum prepared me her signature glutinous rice with chicken, grilled fish, roasted pork and hot dog. My father bought me kampua too. The dinner was just GREAT!!!Though I am ocean apart from home, it was unbelievable that I got to enjoy those scrumptious dinner here in UKM.
I decided that I shall rest on Wednesday. It's movie time. Why bother going to a cinema when I have a plenty in my external hard disk. Thanks, Keah for the movies. I have made a wise move asking for her benevolence to transfer some movies and drama series into my hard disk.
Today is Thursday. Only four days left before the semester continues. So far, I enjoyed my 'stay' in Kolej Tun Hussein Onn. Glad that I do.

Blogging
There are probably a few reasons:
- seeking validation. validating my existence.
- happiness is the hardest emotion to hide. whenever we are happy, we want to share our happiness with others. So does sadness.. LOL...
- trying to make sense of the world; common sense, isn't so common after all.
- I just feel like sharing my humble experiences; so you can learn from MY mistakes.
- improve my ability to write and communicate.
- improve my ability to sort my thoughts and ideas.

Windscape For Him (for me).. Another advanced birthday gift..
Then, on my another visit to Avon with Ash, Kim, Dewi and Harni, I spared a thought of buying it but then, I was not as enthusiastic as I was. So, I ended up empty-handed.
Prior to that, I have been busy promoting this perfume to my classmate. I was also shamelessly asking my friends to buy me one as a token. I said it will make an ideal Valentine's or birthday gift.
Hardly a day after my second visit to Avon, Jimmy sheepishly handed me a plastic bag with Avon printed on it. At a glance, my heart told me that this could not be true. The moment my eyes caught the view of the rectangular sea-blue box, I knew for instance that inside the plastic bag must be the one that I was dying for.
Ting Kung Jin and Ling Kim Lin... Thanks, Jimmy. I should have hugged you just now!!! I am speechless.. Kim, this is your second birthday gift of the year which is equally splendid and bravura. This is just another LOVELY and THOUGHTFUL 24th advanced birthday gift.. I can't stop smiling already, can I? I was practically jumping up and down with intense merriment receiving this very, very unexpected priceless gift!!! I am indebted to both of you!!
MY EVERYTHING
I was on the phone with Angel earlier this evening. She lovingly said "I LOVE YOU, Kakel." She also adoringly asked me "What are you doing?" and jokingly uttered "Owh, my God. What happened to you?" when she noticed a pause in between our anticipated conversation. I was trying my best not to cry. She miraculously has given me strength to survive the remaining days here. Listening to her sweet voice is indeed a booster that I can find only in her and Ann's jolly giggle. Whenever I was on the phone with my father, he would make Ann laugh. When I listened to her cheerful chuckle however, only God knows how bad I wanted to fly home.
The moment of truth would soon come. I don't know whether I have any strength to fight my keenness flying back home when everyone else is going back for this fast-approaching CNY break.

Acting
I, on the other hand is not at all a good actor. My anxiety increases because we are required to come out with a drama staging by the semester-end for Drama in Language Teaching course. My group member trusted me that I could carry a character very well. I am not certain whether I could deliver as well as they expected. This sort of expectation has further accelerated my apprehension to the max. Moreover, the fact that the mark would be awarded collectively makes me aware that I have a REAL RESPONSIBILITY here. I do not want to be the scapegoat, the one who caused our mark to be cut back on.
Truthfully, I feel the character that I am assigned to is a bit too BIG for me. I have a very little, nearly zero faith that I could translate what I have in mind beautifully. Thus, when I was given an honour to write a script on an act which features me as one of the actors, I was trying to come out with some lines that typically portrays and mirrors my day-to-day conversation. So that, I would not have too much difficulties in readjusting to the demand of the play. I am now hoping that it will work the way I imagined it would.
Other than script-writing and acting, I am also responsible for our advertising. At least I am accountable for something that I am really familiar with. I am now looking for inspiration to produce a very catchy and informative brochure etc. I will utilise every bit and shred of knowledge that I have and years of experience to come out with a WOW one. So far, this is manageable.
Anyhow, anyway, I believed every other person in my group will be more than willing to assist me in my undertaking to become an OK if not an excellent actor. This is going to be an exciting roller-coaster ride. It will be a worthwhile one. A great way to end this semester and my uni life, I pray.
Idea
The problem with me is, I have the tendency to have everything wiped out from my memory. So, before those ideas gone missing, I better get them written or at least saved as a draft in my handphone. Luckily, today, I am not blessed with a memory of a goldfish.
Soon after I reached my room, I switched on my laptop and what a relief.. I remember every single thing. Thanks, God. Mmmmuuuaahhhhh.... I hope my idea would be accepted. I hope everyone else would love it as I do. Jangan syok sendiri sudah.. Hehehe.. Chow, people.

Sushi
I am a S.U.S.H.I. A.D.D.I.C.T. I know. Luckily, I may enjoy a range of reasonable and fresh sushi at Sushi King and Jusco, Mid Valley ecspecially after 2100. Still however, I am not quite satisfied not until I have experienced the comfort, posh and elegant dining magic at either Jogoya or Sushi Zanmai.
Called me stupid for making their food retail business flourishing. Called me an idiot for willingly spending nearly a hundred buck for the taste of a small piece of sushi.
As THE SUSHI ENTHUSIAST, the pleasure that you get in return outshines any others. I WILL save a handsome amount of money for these two places.
Not too late
I really have had enough and I was absolutely disgusted. I thought I would not compromise with any attempt of repentant. Pardon me for being such a vindictive and unforgiving chap. I was so sick of it. The stench is becoming too overly strong that I could stand it no more.
I am remorsefully sorry. I finally realized that you were just being human. Making mistake is inevitable. I was screwed up, wrecked, ransacked and immobilised once. My life was being totally rummaged through.
After what had happened, I may have chosen to be a bitter person if I wanted too. I may have become a revengeful man as well if I wanted too. I may have chosen to be insanely ignorance. I may have blamed others for my ruined, totally busted life.
But, I learn and grow because I was given a chance to move on; to turn to another chapter of my life. ABOVE ALL, I GAVE MYSELF A CHANCE TO PROVE THAT I WORTH THE HONOUR. I really work hard to make the history, THE HISTORY. It will never be repeated again in my lifetime.
Now, I am giving you the chance to improve. Well, a dear friend of mine said, "What is done cannot be undone." Then, fair enough. Reasonably though, what could we possibly do is to shrewdly fix the damage. Experience is the best teacher as many claimed. Wishing you a better and less winding voyage this time around. In the middle of your passage, the gentle wind may be rough sometimes. Adjust your sail accordingly. You will reach the harbour with a little scratch but scarcely laid up. Good luck! :)

AVATAR
This movie does acknowledge that our so dear Mother Nature is now at stake. We have been witnessing the frightening increase in Air Index Pollution. River is also badly contaminated. Extreme climate change is among other so many consequences of human unwise ecosystem management. While our generation may still enjoy the picturesque view of the sunset or the blossoming flower, unfortunately if we continue sitting numb, there would not be much time to experience our wonderful Earth-given gift.
The only way to restore this beauty is to be aware of the different ways to act, and participate in them. Awareness must be spread. If we are unable to recognize that the world’s destiny is in our hands, sooner than we thought, this Earth would hardly be an ideal place to live in. Thus, AVATAR is indeed one of the powerful tools to send this message worldwide.
And of course, one will fight for what we call LOVE!! Love is such a big thing. AVATAR has translated it so well. Jack Sully and Nerytirri make a perfect sci-fi couple! Jack a.k.a Toruk, you are THE MAN!! And to Papa Dragon, hell is where your soul would be delivered to,
Jack Sully, ordinary-Marin-turn-Toruk
Teacher-turn-lover
I am so amazed by the simple life of the people of Pandora. They are so much more united than us. The bonding among the people is so closed that even the eco-system could feel their presence. They are ONE..AVATAR is indeed the best movie, A GREAT MOVIE with A GREAT MESSAGE!!! Long live AVATAR!!
