I scored and...I scored Tuesday, May 23, 2006 |



Yunus, Illa, Me, Keanu, Ash, Eddie, Bagak and Nizam

Last weekend kitorang (Che Mie and all) lepak dekat Holiday Villa in Ampang. The whole thing was organized so that Che Mie boleh masak for all the people yang takde dkt Melaka.

It was so best. The sambal (by Kak Limah) and the Daging and the Nasi yang best by Che Mie, and the Yogurt best by MokcikNab. We ate like there was no tomorrow. Hehehehe. I spend the time memotong bawang and garlic.

Basically Che Mie organized the thing so that we could lepak-lepak and makan-makan. I left around 10 to meet Keanu who just came back from Indonesia (apparently the last time we met he said that he’d only come back in two years time). Keanu and I chilled at Bora Ombak with Eddie, Nageb and Illa. Biase biase je. Borak-borak and all. Izrin was not in KL. Dekat Kerteh for the next few weeks. So yours truly yang jadi organizer for that mini ‘teh-tarik-limau-ais-takde-gula session. Needless to say, I failed miserably lah kan. Hehehhehe.

Went back to Holiday Villa around 3 and slept.

Spend the whole Saturday afternoon lepak-lepak and tidur.

After that Che Mie and I went to Great Eastern Mall to get some stuff for dinner.
I went for futsal around 10 that nite. Lepas jemput Pyan yang tgh menunggu dekat lobby I went to pick up Keanu after that.


Mulder (in blue), Iqbal (with t-shirt covering his face), Pyan (in blue), and Keanu (front, in white)

Futsal was great. Banyak lah orang ade. Iqhbal, Dayne and banyak lagi were there. I scored 1 goal. Hehheeh. I was delirious. No wonder org suka main futsal nih.

Delayed Words Tuesday, May 09, 2006 |

22nd May 2006 (tak tahu aku camne nak tukar date nih
(This was written about three weeks ago)

It’s been weeks since I last penned any words here. I’ve been taking a much needed break from life. I quit my job at the gallery (despite much protest). I feel that somehow, the time has come for me to venture into other fields. I left the gallery with much sadness and despair. But then again, I was craving for a major change in my life.

My friend came back from Japan and stayed with me for almost a week. We got to talking about Koleq again. It was so nice. I pulled out cards and pictures that I collected during my five year stay there. We talked (analyzed) about all the things that happened in 2000.

Upon Pyan’s arrival, Izrin organized numerous dinners in Ampang. It was sort of like a ritual for us, welcoming people into the ‘working world’. Most of the usual people were there. Noune, Eddie, Mulder, and Nizam. We discussed about upcoming events (Batch’s Dinner and Zack’s Wedding). A few of us shamelessly appointed ourselves as the ‘head of committees' for these events. I on the other end aimed far, about 4 years in advance. I appointed myself as the ‘Head of the Gifts and Souvenirs’ department for the 10th year anniversary dinner/reunion. Eddie was appointed as the new President, Izrin was appointed as the Project Manager for all the events, Yunus head of PR and Mulder as the Treasurer.

The posts were not final as there were only 6-8 of us which each person representing almost 30 people. But we figured that somebody had to do something about the welfare of 9600.

I’ve also watched, again, the Brokeback Mountain with Pyan this time with more opportunity to analyze the much hyped film. After much debate, we came up with 2 conclusions;
1. Men do not know how to express themselves
2. We constantly need verbal affirmation on where we stand and what the current situation is.

We waste our time expecting the word love to jump in our face ever so often that we forget to just sit back and ‘feel’ love.

In the words of Landon Carter in ‘A Walk to Remember’,

“...I'll always miss her. But our love is like the wind. I can't see it, but I can feel it.”

I'll be blogging again |

very soon.
