2. visit from my cousin, kak-girl and her family. that include her husband and her two lovely kids. they didn't stayed at my place coz of the limited space but i managed to spend 3.5 days with them. we went to hakone (again!), akihabara, ginza, shibuya and harajuku. i had lots of fun shopping with them and playing with the kids.

so its the end of the year. the world getting colder every second and money seems to flow easily this time of year. but i dont really care coz not like previous years, this year when i got home, i know there's someone who will talk to me asking about my day and laugh at my stupid jokes.

3 times of korea in a month

2011-10-29T01:25:00.001+09:00

from end of september to end of october, i went to korea three times for business trip. first time with my boss, second and third time alone. it was my first oversea's business trip and i was so excited. i always wanted to work outside of Japan even for a short business trip and never thought i can get it this early since i just only start my 'real work' from april this year. i really had some good times working at korea and really looking forward to go there again (for work or maybe holidays).

things i learned and noticed from korean people
1. 'ne' is 'yes' among common people and 'un' is 'yes' among friends
2. half of korean people use galaxy and the other half use iphone
3. they all love park ji sung
4. unlike japanese, most of korean people have religion (mostly christian and catholic)
5. korean man will have 2 years of army training and during the period they all will live in the mountain and running without shirt every morning even in winter.
6. they love online game
7. they like to call instead of email
8. only korean maker cars on the street
9. korean mom like people who eat a lot
10. they love seoul

kam sam nida!!!

we all love our pet

remember march 11th 2011? yeah, it was the day tohoku area got hit by the big tsunami.
a month after the disaster my friend at kibow (ngo that support tohoku earthquake relief fund)
called me and ask me to contribute a song to tsunami disaster victims in tohoku area.

i quickly contacted lime and we started to write a song together just the two of us.
we rental a studio and make a raw recording version of the song (with just lime's guitar).
i got back to my place and started putting vocals and some cello sound.
the sound is not 100% good but because of the deadline we had to send
that raw recorded version to my friend at kibow..
i dont know if he ever like it or not because after that i never heard anything from him about the song :p
well, we done our part and we actually killed some of our times to make that song.
hope this song will get some proper recording in the future and reach to the ears of the people who we care and think about when making this song.
and i must admit, i kind of dig this song because its in acoustic.
we never had an acoustic song so this song should be in our album if we ever want to make one!
maybe as a bonus song where you can only hear it 10 minutes after the last song of the album is over. you get my idea rite!
but if only ryuta okay with it! gosh i really do lots of day dreaming do i!

Hope

when everything had fall apart
don't worry the world is on your side (i know)
when suddenly you feeling down
don't worry good things will come along

life won't be so easy
bad things will come and go

don't worry (don't worry)
we are on your side
don't worry (don't worry)
its time for new hope

met with new people.
all of them are good people.
can't think of better days.

got to see my old house getting new touch here and there.
can't believe the house i used to sleep and play is totally different now.
miss the old environment but excited with the new one.
found an album full of pictures of young me.
now i know why mom still think im like that boy in the pictures.
maybe in the outside i still that boy with the same smile.
but in the inside im more than that.

there goes my 10 days of obon yasumi.
can't wait for the next holiday.
which should be next two weeks? :p

mat som by lat-sensei

2011-08-08T21:30:00.001+09:00

everyone know about kampung boy but how about mat som? unlike kampung boy mat som focus more on reality of adult life. love the characters and the environment on this graphic novel. lat-sensei is the man! can't agree more. and the love story, it just perfect. *spoiler alert love the ending where mat som just got back from his best friend's wedding with a full baju melayu attire and saw yam somewhere in a crowd (near odeon kl). he went to yam asking where she want to go and yam told him she want to go to some show. mat som agreed to follow her although he didnt know what show yam will go to. then came a panel with some rock kapak peoples screaming and playing guitar. it was a rock show and mat som suddenly hold yam's hand and ran with her to the stage. and the story end with the two of them standing at the back of the stage watching some rock kapak dude singing a song with some powerful lyrics.

Ingin kau jadi New York?! (Want this to be New York?)
Jadi orang asing (Want to be like foreigners?)
Hidup tanpa batasan (Live incentious lives)
Jahil tentang halal haram (Ignorant of right and wrong)
Kononnya itulah KEMAJUAN (Imagine this is PROGRESS)
Tak mahu diri ditertawakan (Don't want to be laughed)
Oh kota, (Oh City)
Inikah yang kau mahu? (If this what you want?)

told you. so powerful rite. gave me some goosebumps there :p
after finished reading mat som the first song i want to hear is the rock show by blink 182.
if lat-sensei thinking on making a remake of 1990's movie version of this graphic novel he should put that song in the ending.

i gave mat som 5 out of 5 and two thumbs up!

2011-08-05T22:21:00.004+09:00

its an old song i wrote for my old band, make out kids. its the first original song i ever wrote. got the idea to mix malay and english in this song when our drummer, hi-kun said to me that if i have difficulty on writing english song, then i should just write malay song coz nobody going to know if its english or malay anyway since we live in country where nobody understand english. yeah we were young that time haha.

so when i wrote this song i was at the changing point of my life. at that time i just got out from college at chiba and starting a new life at gunma. got no friends at all, just got out from a serious relationship, no money, live so far from tokyo meaning no gigs during weekends, yeah it was a difficult time for me. all i got was a band i formed with hi-kun and tama-cyan (trombone) after a week i got in gunma. i became friend with hi-kun and tama-cyan like a long time ago when we used to be gig junkies. after that we recruited abe-cyan (lead guitar) and jyunko (bass) which we found in mixi and ake (saxaphone), a friend of tama-cyan.

at first we just doing cover of less than jake and nofx coz we dont have a creative person to write original song. for me, writing a song has always be one of my dream. so i try to write something and always got rejected by them until i finished wrote this song. they kind of dig it.

about the song, well its about a time when you have to say goodbye to all your friends because you have to go somewhere far. and you just hope they will not forget about you because you are not going to forget about them.
the lyrics is simple and straight forward. i had some hard time on deciding the horns part. but i guess it turned out good.

kawan

selamat tinggal kawan
janganlah engkau melupakanku
selamat tinggal kawan
janganlah engkau melupakanku

i will never forget about you

selamat tinggal kawan
aku takkan melupakanmu
selamat tinggal kawan
aku takkan melupakanmu

dont you ever forget about me

ingatlah kawan
walau kita berjauhan
kitakan tetap bersatu

jangan lupakan
erti persahabatan
ingatlah ia selalu

i will never forget about you

p/s : we actually never did a proper recording for this song. the sound on this video is from one of live shows we did. the video was took at utsunomiya, tochigi. so crap sound + cheap amateur video = awesomeness :p

homesick at space camp

2011-08-01T23:01:00.000+09:00

i used to get so emo when it comes to winter every year.
see here :
1. http://muhdnazrulnizam.blogspot.com/2009/10/musim-tuh-dah-kembali.html
2. http://muhdnazrulnizam.blogspot.com/2010/11/there-goes-my-one-day-holiday.html

but starting last year, not just winter, ramadhan kind of making me quite emo too. but difference kind of emo. more like a homesick-kind-of-emo.

okay i know im a 26 years old grown up man which make me so uncool to feel homesick and all that. well, 7 years living far away from your country + no muslim friends around you should simply answered that.

it kind of weird coz i can remember all the good ramadhan moments i had over 10 years ago but not last year. maybe no any good moments happened last year. all i remember was i had to eat just bread during the break and then straight away study for java in office. and i remember eating alone at gusto like everyday at 2am.

actually i remembered going to gunma for two days just to have a good times with my fellow gundaian so that my ramadhan is not that 100% sux. well i got good 2 days of ramadhan there but that just it.

as i was having my break today i just kind of think the positive side of all of this. one thing i got is that by having this lonely ramadhan im actually starting to remember all the good moments of ramadhan i had all these years. i think im going to list it one by one.

1. i remember buying grape mirinda (the can version) like everyday on ramadhan when i was a kid. i will break my fast with it and got scolded by my mom coz i must break with water first.

2. i remember going to terawikh just so that i can hang out with my neighborhood friends. we would hang out at the street beside the surau and just talk nonsense or teasing people or ngorat anak dara org after the 8th terawikh prayer. good old times.

3. i remember ramadhan at mrsm. it was SPM season. one night before the physics exam we all gathered outside the school to have a fight with teknik students (i mean a real fight). we all got beated very hard tho.

4. i remember ramadhan at sri rampai. after lecture we will go to the pasar ramadhan beside the tasik and bought like all the foods there. then we will eat at someone room without eating all of it. then loko or op will come to finished it all :p the best food sure going to be nasi goreng longkang. it was called longkang coz the akak that sell it always showed her longkang :p

5. i remember ramadhan during college years. it all happened during winter so we just had our fast for 7, or 8 hours? everyday me, paklan and din will rotate preparing the foods.

6. i remember ramadhan at kiryu. after the terawikh we would have some light muhrih. one day joke asked me to prepare a muhrih coz i always take but never give. i agreed if someone prepare sirap bandung for all of us coz i really want to drink sirap bandung at that time. so nuex agreed on the sirap bandung and i make my most pride mee goreng. everybody starting to dig my mee goreng after that. joke even said i can sell it at restaurant.

well i surely got lots more good ramadhan moments but maybe need some times to think all of it :p so when i think all of this good moments it just makes me realized how awesome is my country and how awesome people that used to be around me. makes me miss them more. i think if im always with them and never got out of my country, i will never going to remember and notice all this. so this is the positive side and im going to hold on to it :)

last but not least, selamat berpuasa to all my muslims friends, may this ramadhan bring lots of good moments to all of us!

*get the lyrics urself and sing along!!!

better world

2011-07-27T23:00:00.001+09:00

music and words by me. wrote this song during the chaos at middle east (egypt, tunisia, etc.) early this year. sometimes when you got problems in life you will feel down and sad. i used to be like that. but after a while i learned that there's other people who got bigger problems than me. people like kids who lost their parents in war and stuffs like that. when i started thinking about that it makes my problems looked so small which drive me to work harder to solve or just make that problems go away. so the song came from that thought. it related someway. anyway the words in the song are straight forward i guess. to make a better world you just have to love and share your feeling with each other. that just it :)

better world

look at the world we living now

open your eyes look clearly now

it full of people's blood and tears

maybe you make it to the top

have you think about the one

who sacrifices their life for

you.....

god didn't make us heartless

god give us feeling to

love each other

and share with people

to make a better world

p/s : i really dig lime guitar solo at the end of the song.

revolver by matt kindt

2011-07-25T22:09:00.005+09:00

one of my habit is buying books when traveling. i know nowadays we got iphone, psp, ds to keep us bz when on board but i dig books more. talking about books i bought, most of them are comics or graphic novels tho. can't remember when this habit started but during my school years where money was limited, i rather bought some random hong kong comics than food just to keep me bz when traveling.

so last time when i went back home i bought this random comics at kinokuniya. yeah, buying random stuffs is also one of my habit. got this habit during high school where everyweek i will go to this awesome record store at bangunan umno, kb and bought records just by looking at the cover of the album or song title :p well some hit but some miss too. lots of hit i guess (new found glory, sum 41, reggie and the full effect, at the drive in, simple plan, fenix tx etc.).

ok enough of records, this post suppose to be about books. so the book (graphic novel) i bought the other day. it was random but a hit! revolver by matt kindt.

the story: *spoiler alert

its about this guy (sam) who got an ability to live in 2 worlds. one world he kind of a loser, living with his bragging gf, annoying boss, boring job etc. another world is a chaos world where war is everywhere, natural disasters, nuclear disasters all over the place. at this world people living like hell and sam kind of a hero there. sam will enter the other world when the clock strike 11:11pm and it will repeat continuously (from one world to another back and forth). he can learn a lot of things in the peaceful world where he is a loser, and when he got back to the chaos world, he actually gained that abilities and that's when he turned up as a hero. at the last moment, he have to choose only one world to live but which world he will choose? a peaceful world but a loser or a chaos world but a hero? you have to read it for yourself to find out :)

i kind of dig this kind of graphic novel. made you think about your life. about all things you have but never care to appreciate. i love the art on this book too. its simple yet full of details. like the view of the panels too. felt like watching a movie.

i gave revolver 5 out of 5! if any hollywood producer thinking on making a movie from the graphic novel i hope the story stay the same!

pumpkin was rad

2011-07-23T03:08:00.002+09:00

we performed at yokosuka pumpkin yesterday. just 3 bands and we performed second. i'd been to this place like 3 or 4 times before as a normal crowd. since then i really like the place and performing here is like one of my dream. so months ago i kind of told lime about performing at pumpkin would be awesome and he immediately contact kiyo-san (pumpkin's boss) after that. we got email from kiyo-san and he let us play there!

what i like about this place is the environment in the livehouse itself. full of bands stickers and posters which is so cool.

anyway, we did great today and got 2 new friends from the crowd, shun and dp. after our show they actually came to see us and told us they really dig our songs which was so awesome of them.

shun is also play in a band. really looking forward to play with him in near future. dp work as an us navy. he major in history and political science in college which lead me getting an hour of history lesson from him. not a typical history lesson coz it got lots of 'fuck','shit','assholes' words in it :p from shogun era to the world war 2 era, dp really knows his shit. can't wait for his next lesson :)

performing with us were bye bye negatives and mrs.wiener which were so awesome compared to us. overall we had fun playing at pumpkin and guess wut, kiyo-san invited us to play again in september. yeay!!!

1. The Grass Isn't Always Greener On The Otherside
2. Better World

3. Mary Jane Watson

days to remember for life

2011-07-20T23:06:00.002+09:00

to those who havent know yet, i went back home last friday.
got 5 days holidays from company bcoz of the setsuden thing (saving electricity).

to those who still havent know yet, i started a relationship with this wonderful girl like months ago. we knew each other long time ago. never keep in touch back then but few months ago i msg her thru fb. thanx to those old emails i kept in my hotmail. read it in a train one day, and never knew that one 'hi, you remember me? we use to exchange emails!' msg can brought us to now.

spend my 5 days holidays at home with my family and her and it were the best 5days of my life. in these 5 days i learned a lot. really really a lot. i learned how to appreciate people more, learned to see people effort, learned to not being selfish and most of all i learned that i have a special girl that can handle my weaknesses and my stupidness. i guess we can only learn and realized all of that when we are in a relationship with our special one rite :)

well people said, something happened for a reason and i know the reason for this one :)

thanx to buttercup for the super awesome holidays and of coz to my family for always there to support me.

im already 26 years old but its the first time i felt like a grown up! maybe i should celebrate :p

my favourite picture of her

ocean voice

2011-07-07T20:58:00.002+09:00

so another song to crap about. this time its really an old song. wrote the song about 2 years ago.

actually wrote it for my old band, make out kids. the song didn't manage to get on our list of songs to play and by the time we called it off the song remains on my old pc (i recorded the song first on my own with a bass, a guitar and a keyboard).

after my old band's bassist, jyunko invited me to join this new band, seconds to go, i brought this song together with me. we practiced it and even recorded it during our summer camp vacation. after jyunko and our vocal at the time, jyun left our band, we made a minor changes on the song to fit to our new 3-piece band. it turned out super better than the previous version.

the song is about this guy who really think his life is a mess. he's got no one he can talk to about his problems and he even didn't think anyone ever care about him. what he got only his dream to live by the ocean and just lay back leaving behind all his mess. kind of deep but quite straight forward song i think. its the first ever song that i made and really like it.

ocean voice

been living in this hell to long
there's nothing to talk about
people just don't care who you are
there's no soul to hear you out

everything seem so far away
there goes my self-confidence
i just want to run away
but i got nowhere to go
yeah, there is nowhere to go

Chorus:
i want to live by the ocean
where its summer all the year
watching the sunrise every morning
and dancing all night long

there's a time when i felt so alone
i remembered my mom and dad
how i wished they were here
to see how bad i grew up

everything seem so far away
there goes my self-confidence
i just want to run away
but i got nowhere to go
yeah, there is nowhere to go

i want to live by the ocean
where its summer all the year
watching the sunrise every morning
and dancing all night long

i want to live by the ocean
where its always holiday
watching the sunrise every morning
and dancing all night long

here is the earlier version of the song (very raw)
http://quarterafterone.com/mp3/oceanvoive1.mp3

and this is the new version that we play on almost all of our shows

p/s : the song title came after i wrote it on the cd cover and lime thought that it was the title. actually by that time i still can't decide any title for it. the 'ocean' came from the chorus (its the theme of the song too) and the 'voice' was actually a word i wrote to indicate that the cd got my voice recorded on it. as time went by it just stuck :)

we'll survive

2011-07-01T23:22:00.003+09:00

hey, we meet again. ok, i know lately i wrote lots of crap. but who cares, this is my blog haha.

so here's another song i wrote like 6 months ago. this song actually manage to get to our first live show. we got lots of good feedback on this song tho. i wrote the song and the words. its about when two persons in a relationship and one of them is having a difficult time and just want to give up. but the other one just hope that they stay close which each other and believe that they can survive till the end. yeah i know, so emooo rite haha. we made this song the last song for every show since our third show.

We'll Survive

everything's gonna fall apart
i can't stand this anymore (anymore)
you keep running from my heart
left me lying on the floor

don't blame it on emotion (emotion)
don't blame it on emotion you can't hide

chorus:
don't say goodbye
please not tonight
please tell me why you keep giving up
just one more time
we make it right
we're not going for a fall
believe me we'll survive

anyway the song came first, then the words. and i really like when lime do his solo in this song. its the best part on the song! hope we can make proper record of the song :)

the one

2011-06-29T00:07:00.001+09:00

song came first then the words. song was written by lime (our guitarist)
and like always, i responsible for the lyrics. the song is about someone who have lots of good qualities but just lack of confidence in him. till he met this girl/woman who boost up his confidence and he think this girl/woman is the one. well, the girl/woman maybe his high-school crush, long lost mother, his teacher or even his nanny :p

this song is actually one of our few earlier songs (about a year ago). i think i wrote the lyrics from my unconscious mind coz i dont really remember why i wrote it like that :p but one think for sure, i really think a man who is going to be a leader need a woman in his life who going to give him full support and confidence. so i think the lyrics maybe came from that thought :p

The One

i think a lot about making a right decision
i think it a lot of time it makes my life a bore
i'm maybe person with lots of talent and potential
whithout confidence i'm a just a fuck up loser

and then she came along
(someone who look familiar)
she gave the right direction
(between the present and the future)
and then she came along
(someone who i can trust and live my life with)

here's the live video of the song we recorded a month ago at shimokita reg. mind the crappy bass sound, lime's pronunciation of 'along' and the boring crowd :p naaa i just kidding about the boring crowd. who wants to jump or mosh to an unknown crappy band anyway.

a place we call home

2011-06-26T03:58:00.000+09:00

wrote this song about 2 or 3 weeks ago. the words came first, then the song.
its a song about a person who have everything (family, friends, love one)
but he can't spend time with them because of other commitment or situation (maybe work?).
so what he wanted now is just go back home and spend his time with people
he love just like when he was a kid.
apart from that as he grow older he realized how life is not as easy as it is
and he can't just go back in time so what he can do now is start a new home
for himself and let people he love come to his new home.

gosh i never thought im this deep :p

A Place We Call Home

Thinking back time
When we were young
It's all about growing up
And having lots of fun

Mommy took care of everything
Daddy worked hard
So we can having fun
On the weekends

It's not about the wall we crashed
Into all these years
It's all about the love we share
And people we care

Chorus:
Take me back to where I belong
Dont wanna spend my life alone
I want to be with someone
Somewhere in a place we call home

26 years now i realized
Life's not easy
It's getting difficult
From time to time

Losing old friends
Making new friends
Never got a chance
To be myself till i met you

No matter what the world we live
Or people we believe
What matter are the love we share
and people we care

Chorus:
Take me back to where I belong
Dont wanna spend my life alone
I want to be with someone
Somewhere in a place we call home

Where did I belong....
Please tell me where should I go
Where did I belong
Please tell me where should I go

Chorus:
Take me back to where I belong
Dont wanna spend my life alone
I want to be with someone
Somewhere in a place we call home

And that someone is you

like always, you can hear the crappy version (rough recording) of the song by clicking the link below

p/s: i know its so un-punk but really thinking on adding some rap in the song :p

crappy-short-version of better world

the show must go on!

2011-06-14T00:01:00.001+09:00

yesterday just had my 5th live show with quarter after one. i've been singing or playing something in a band since 2005 and i must admit, quarter after one is the band i most love. maybe we only played 5 shows rite now but by next 2 years, we are going for 3 digit shows! thats for sure!

last night show was awesome! playing together with us were utsunomiya post-emo band, x-rade, a band called riche, valve drive special acoustic show performed by their guitarist/vocalist, daisuke-san, veteran straight hardcore/punk band, rasputin and veteran tokyo hardcore band, count of strength.
all of them were awesome! sad for x-rade coz their show had to be stop after 2nd song as their guitarist broke his guitar's neck.

after the show i got to talk to valve drive's guitarist/vocalist daisuke-san and he said he like the music we played and looking forward to play with us again. that was so awesome considered daisuke-san is one of those guys who create japanese punk rock scene since the 90's. and he is a friend of ataris's kris roe which made it even cooler.

for us, a little praised by a guy like daisuke-san surely brought our spirit back. for me, i got my spirit back way before the show. thanx to a particular person who kind of bring my motivation so up lately. you know who you are :)

so here's our next show! this time we are going to play at a bar! its free so people who got nothing to do on friday night, give yourself a break and come to our show! we sure going to entertain you!!!

Place : Gamuso Asagaya, Tokyo (http://gamuso.com/location/)
Date : June 17th
Time : 20:00 onward
Fee : Free, just buy yourself a drink (from 500yen)
Bands :
Sunset Drive / Android Beach Party / Quarter After One / David Whittaker
plus return DJ set from DJ Knee High

a little update about myself....

i currently got someone that give me a reason to get back in a love relationship :)
it was weird at first but the feeling just strike so i guess no more huntering again :p

the best part is i always searching for ideas to write songs for our band and
we never got any happy songs about relationship or maybe any "i miss you,
when r u going to come to meet me" kind of songs so i guess there will be
some of that in the future :)

that's all, chiow!

never a good writer

2011-06-11T03:03:00.003+09:00

since i was active playing in a band, i responsible for making all the lyrics of our songs (coz it looks like im the only one in the band who can write english songs). but the problem is i never a good writer. the only compliment i've ever get was during high scool year, where my english teacher told us to write our own poem based on the poem we are learning that time (which i dont remember at all) and i made a poem that sounds like a shakespear's (according to my english teacher) and that was it. the only compliment i've ever get. i think im more on visual stuffs than literaty stuffs.

anyway, my point is i sux at writing and the motive of me telling you guys about it is because from now on im going to post some lyrics i've been doing for some our band songs here and hope for some feedback. i think we are going to properly record some songs in the next few months so i want to have the correct lyrics (especially the grammar) before its going through the recording mic (dont want to make the same mistake with our last recorded song...)

anyway going to post some lyrics from time to time so stay alert!

so first lyrics will be this one song that i've made like months ago about a guy who thinks he's a loser.

Loser Of The Year

When she walk, when she talk
She makes my heartbeat stop
When she smile, with her style
She make my heartbeat stop

The spring has come and i hope
(She remember my first name)
The summer has gone and i hope
(She remember my birthday)
It's autumn now and i hope
(She still remember my first name)
Before the winter's gone and i hope
(She still want to talk to me)

There's something automatic, it aint static
Running through my brain
It got something to do with
Midnight movies
and starring at the stars

I know the plan so stupid
I cannot help it
So i keep it in my head
That makes me the loser of the year

*here's the link to the crappy version of the song

seth tan?

2011-06-08T00:39:00.000+09:00

nih apesal kecoh2 seth tan nih? ntah sape yg diorg dok kate2 tuh aku pun tak tau tapi yg aku tau mase aku tingkatan 1 ngan 2 dulu aku ade member name seth tan.
aku ingat sgt die nih sbb mase zaman tuh kitorg semua giler tgk gusti wwe so ade satu mase nih kitorg buat simulation gusti kat tv tuh. member aku sorg nih yg anggap diri die triple H ngan selambe nye buat pedigree kat si seth tan nih terus hilang sebatang gigi seth tan ni.

yeah, good memories!

so aku harap seth tan yg dok dikecoh2 skrg nih org yg same ngan member aku nih sbb die pun boleh digelar legend jugak la.

my friend, sehnthan arumugam

birthday presents?

2011-06-06T19:30:00.000+09:00

i think you can call thing you got for free on your birthday, or a week after your birthday a birthday present.

1. a cool 2nd hand white scooter

got this from chayanin. we had been talking about this scooter during our thai vacation and it just happened that the day im going to collect it from chayanin was on my birthday. so i guess it was one of my birthday presents then. thanx to chayanin!!!

2. SUM 41 10th anniversary tour in shinkiba, tokyo

got a free ticket from my japanese teacher, usui sensei. usui sensei was my teacher during our 2nd year at PPKTJ,UTMKL like 7 years ago? she said she got one free ticket on fb after her husband can't come due to work so without thinking twice i quickly message her and manage to grab the ticket! this live show was like a week after my birthday so i considered it also as one of my birthday presents! well forget about the free ticket, i guess seeing your japanese teacher who teached you how to write 'rice' in japanese, punching people and getting punched in a pit was the greatest birthday presents ever! in a good way tho! just happy to see her enjoyed the live show. anyway her birthday was a day after mine which i think is so cool and weird too :p

usui sensei under a bright light. thanx sensei for the awesome night!

and now the real present!

an awesome lunch at silk road uigle restaurant, saitama by kevin cho.

we ate like kings here and thanx to kevin cho for treated me and chayanin for recommended this awesome restaurant.

the place

gyoza

the awesome lamb!

meat pie

above are just some foods we ordered. there are lots more. really recommended this restaurant to those who want to have delicious halal meals! i gave this restaurant a 5 out of 5 stars!

ok thats all for now! i just hope this year going to be a great year for me! just that, not less not more!

not just birthday

2011-05-22T23:08:00.002+09:00

today is my birthday. yeay to me!
and today also the anniversary of PPKTJ batch 03-05.
and not to forget the anniversary of this blog! (8years and still running!!)

glad all of this are in the same date coz i can celebrate it all at once! hehe

anyway just want to say thanx to all that wished me.
a day before my birthday me, cik min and her husband got a chance to meet again and we went to nippori, akihabara and ginza. cik min and her husband treated me dinner so i think that would be my first birthday present this year :)

then today one of my chinese colleague, kevin cho treated me lunch at this awesome uigle restaurant recommended by my thai colleague, chayanin. then chayanin gave me his old scooter which is still in good condition and soo awesome!

after a good fight of winning eleven i rode the scooter from urawa to my place.
fyi, urawa to my place is about 40km far. it took me about 3 hours to reach home under heavy rain. i was so proud at myself bcoz i managed to get back safe without looking through any navi or map. i just followed the signboards and my knowledge of places. i even proud at myself because i got to do it on my birthday! so i think this would be the birthday present i gave to myself for this year! yeah!

so thats how my 26th birthday went!
hope next year is full of adventure too!!!
maybe will upload some picts afterward. stay tune!

At the touch of my paw, watch me twist and turn to the music!

2011-05-16T00:18:00.003+09:00

today i went to harajuku and shibuya for three reasons.

1. to attend the MSAJ party for the new juniors. heard they got free foods, bingo game and lots of freshies to 'usha' on the fb event detail so i know i can't miss it!!

2. to meet with my former math teacher, cik. min (or pn. min coz she got married) during our preparation years

3. to meet umar for the last time coz he got work to do somewhere in a desert for 6 months

so here's how today went~

woke up at 11, sit for a while, remind myself again why i have to go to this MSAJ thing and then off to harajuku. reached there at 12.45 and went straight to the park where they held this event. met some old friends there, some juniors and kind of dissapointed bcoz all the freshies didnt turn up like i expected. but its okay. at least the free foods and the bingo game were there. and guess wut, i won the bingo game's first prize!!! ok maybe im not winning it through the usual winning tradition (not that im cheating, i just good at forcing people to talk sweet for me and its really paid off! i got wong to tell the first prize winner to exchange his prize with me after notice that he didnt actually happy when he saw his prize which surprised me a lot! the prize is the greatest of all!!!), but who got the first prize is sure the winner rite!!?? haha! so to tell you the truth i really had a great time today at the yoyogi park!!!

so after the party, munzir came with hana and we went back to the harajuku station to meet with our beloved math teacher, cik.min. after 6 years, we actually met! infront of the GAP store! and cik.min is still the cik.min we know. we actually stand in front of the store for 1 hour just to get back with each others. she just can't stop talking and so do munzir. i think thats what i have to go through when meeting up these two persons. anyway, cik.min came with her husband and also 3 of his former students which are also my juniors. one of them i knew but never got to know the other two. i heard they drove all the way from ibaraki to see cik.min which i think is so cool for students to do for their former teacher. so after the getting back session we walk through omotesando and aoyama road before reaching shibuya. ramadan(the junior that i knew) suggested we all have some coffees at the famous shibuya's starbucks and i suggested munzir pay for our coffees. and guess wut, everyone agreed with our suggestion!! i must admit the view from shibuya's starbucks is a must see to all tourist who came to tokyo. i was so proud of myself coz i got very nice seats for cik.min and her husband to enjoy the view. i also got another seat next to them but i gave it to munzir coz he paid all our coffees. FYI to get a seat in this shibuya's starbuck is like searching for your contact lens in a sea! ok i sure exaggerated that last part but im not lying about the difficulty of getting those seats! after we had another long talk and gossips in the starbucks we went to the nearest kaiten sushi (rotate sushi restaurant) for dinner. again ramadan suggested the place and i suggested munzir to pay all our sushis. and guess wut, again everyone agreed with this suggestion! i think everyone is happy i bring along munzir this time. after another long talk and gossips, we end our meeting there and said bye bye to all. this time we actually being told to end our meeting and leave the restaurant at once by the waiter there. i guess we really had a long talk there. mostly munzir love stories. but its ok coz he's going to pay for our sushis. so thanx to cik.min for arranging this fun meeting and of coz to myself coz bring along munzir so that he can do all the talks and pay for our drinks and meals!

after cik.min's meeting, i called umar who supposed to be in shibuya too and we met infront of the sushi restaurant i just been. it would be a stupid move if i ask him to enter the sushi restaurant so we ended up drinking coffee in nearest doutor which full of japanese chicks. both of us never saw a coffee shop full of chick like this before so we kind of excited. we had some guys talk which may look like a girls talk coz we were surrounding by all these chicks and its kind of fun. umar will go to abu dhabi for 6 months starting 2 weeks from today and he sure excited enough. i hope he enjoy his stay there and still thinking on coming back to japan after 6 months. i also hope he dont get burn in the desert and get scorpion bite.

so that's how my awesome sunday went. can't belive i got to eat free foods for the whole day! and did any of you guys guessed my bingo prize? here it is anyway! i made this video just to let you guys know how awesome this prize is!!! i guess the real guy who won this must have regret his decision to exchange it with me.

p/s : don't take this post too seriously. i wrote it this way coz lately i read too much kinney's diary of a wimpy kid :)

kematian uehara miyu yg sie sie

2011-05-14T02:00:00.001+09:00

idol miskin terkenal yg mempunyai 10 adik beradik, uehara miyu dijumpai mati (dipercayai bunuh diri) di rumahnye 2 hari lepas. dgr citer die bunuh diri sbb tersgt depress lepas kematian ibunye setahun lepas.

diary of a wimpy kid

2011-05-08T23:46:00.001+09:00

hello, just got back from thai vacation few days ago.
should be the best group vacation i ever had!
thanx to chayanin for all the hospitalities and my japanese colleagues for the company!

anyway, i'll write all the details about the vacation here once i got some quality pictures from my colleagues.

now i just want to write about this book i met during my vacation. its diary of a wimpy kid from jeff kinney. i bought it so that i have some materials to read when im do some sunbathing at the beach. the book turned out to be a really great book with lots of humor in it which made me addicted to it.
i ended up bought all the series, downloaded the first movie (which i love coz chloe was in it too) and now really think im just like greg heffley when i was a kid (minus the wimpy and the selfish part hehe).

i really recommend this book to all my friends! read any of the series and im sure you are going to love it!!!

p/s : maybe someday im going to write my blog like greg write his diary! :)

All Time Favourite food!

2011-04-21T00:29:00.000+09:00

sebenarnye dah lame nak tulis nih tapi asyik lupe.
sejak balik malaysia ari tuh aku sgt rindu kat satu makanan nih.
makanan nih mmg dah lame betul tak makan.
boleh pulak ari tuh dpt makan.
sampai ari nih dok teringat kat makanan tuh jer.
haaa nak tau ke ape makanan tuh??
ianya ialah

HAINAN CHICKEN CHOP!

haaa sbnrnye ade citer di balik makanan nih.
dulu mase kecik kecik sekurang kurangnye dalam
3 tahun sekali mesti balik kg kb.
waktu tuh nk balik kb nih sgtla jauh and kene ade duit sket
so famili aku nih takdela nak selalu balik kg kb tuh.
so nak jd citer, kalau balik kg kb kitorg mesti singgah satu
restoran kat rumah rehat kuala lipis nih.

tempat nih dari segi suasane mmg best sebab atas bukit.
berangin jer kat situh.
dan yg paling best ttg tempat nih ialah chicken chop die!
waktu tuh tak tau pun name chicken chop tuh hainan chicken chop.
tiap kali dtg mesti makan!
so dalam 3 tahun dapat sekali jer makan.
betape istimewa nye makanan nih bg aku.

lepas masuk sekolah menengah rendah mmg sgt jarang pegi kb.
mungkin tak pergi sane langsung kot sampai la dpt mrsm pc.
waktu tuh pun dah ade jalan baru and mampu naik flight.
so mmg tak singgah kuala lipis pun kalau pegi kb naik kete.
so rasa hainan chicken chop tuh pun terus hilang dalam ingatan.
sehinggalah.....

mase balik malaysia sebab nak attend majlis kawen abg aku arituh.
aku extend cuti sbb keadaan jepun yg x stabil lagi waktu tuh.
lepak rumah jer mmg boring so ajak 2 org member makan lunch same.
member aku sorg ni rekomen pergi sakura kafe kt taman melawati nih.
so aku pun pergi la sane lunch ngan diorg.
waktu tgk menu tuh aku ternampak sesuatu.
sesuatu yg lame tak nampak.
macam familiar betul gambar dlm menu tuh.
tanpa rase was was aku pun try la order makanan seperti gambar tuh.
bile makanan nih dtg aku dah dpt rase sesuatu.
sesuatu yang seperti dah hilang lama tetapi telah kembali!
dan bile aku rase jer makanan tuh
pergh, macam org hilang ingatan kembali sedar!
yer, makanan tuh nama die HAINAN CHICKEN CHOP!
dan rasenye same ngan chicken chop yg aku makan 15 tahun lepas!!!

setelah 15 tahun,
akhirnya dapat jugak aku tau makanan kegemaran aku punye nama.
itu jer yg aku nak citer sebenarnye.
so bile dah tau name makanan kegemaran,
boleh la aku carik gadis idamanku!
semestinya seorg yg boleh buat hainan chicken chop!
hahaha

gudnite!!!!

rumah rehat kat kuala lipis tuh. name die rumah rehat bukit residen.

nihla chicken chop rumah rehat tuh. gambar nih amek dr website brader nih (http://kgsklipis.blogspot.com/2010/10/majlis-meraikan-persaraan-pertukaran.html) . rase macam dah lain la chicken chop nih.

sebelum tido ape yg dipikir...

2011-04-13T00:08:00.000+09:00

mase kecik2 sekolah rendah : malas gile nak bangun pagi gi sekolah esok(mandi air pagi2 sejuk pulak tuh)

mase sekolah menengah rendah : esok pun dlm lrt leh jumpe awek yg same tak...

mase sekolah asrama : bile la budak fly nak balik bawak makanan nih

mase ekspres utm : esok sempat tak bangun utk kelas ptg

mase persediaan ke jepun : esok nak makan roti canai ke nasi lemak

mase kolej kisarazu : esok jumpe sase(tutor) copy source(programming) die

mase uni gunma : kalau bgn tgh hari gi lab malam, kalau bgn ptg gi lab luse jer

mase dah kerje : esok kalau terbangun dlm pukul 8 pagi bersedia amek cuti setengah hari

bila ade awek : esok kalau die tak balas msg call die tgh hari

bile xde awek : esok mungkin terjumpe bakal awek so baik tido awal2 dan bgn pagi awal2 sbb org cakap rezeki dtg awal2 pagi hahahaha

selamat malam!

what to believe?

2011-03-20T04:17:00.001+09:00

the story

ok actually there are two stories. one from the japanese government. and another one from all around the world except the japanese gov.

1. japanese gov keep telling us everything is fine and okay. the japanese media keep telling us there is nothing to worry about.

2. the embassy of america, france, china, etc. have start calling all their citizens living in japan to get out of the country. CNN, BBC, CCTV keep giving scarry news about the radiation. probably very opposite from the japanese media.

where i've been

1. after the earthquake i'd been in tokyo for a week before i came back to Malaysia. during a week in tokyo i don't felt any harm or scare about the radiation at all. yes, i trusted the media and the gov just like all my malaysian friends there and my japanese friends there. i felt so safe maybe because there were no panic around, just some minor inconvenience (power cut, trains not moving etc.).

2. i came back to Malaysia last friday to attend my bro wedding ceremony. my house got astro (satelite television) so i kept myself busy watching all the international news from there. maybe some people (back in japan) said that all this international news just making the news more sensations by telling lots of lies.... but i felt kind of different when watching it myself. yeah there are maybe some lies there but mostly the news came directly from the reporter assign in japan.

what to believe now?

two stories and one of them is definately lying to us. which one to choose? its up to you. anyway i just got this interesting video from my japanese friend. a video that surely not going to be air in normal japanese television done by not the foreigners, but by the japanese themselves.

the old guy in the video telling us that the gov surely didnt want us to know what they know. yeah, maybe another conspiracy theory but you never know...

and lets compare it with the pro-japanese-gov video below

i know the video was done like that so that we can learn about the radiation easily without all this experts showing us the nuclear reactor board all over again. but i think the video kind of telling us you guys still a kid(us, the normal citizens) so you should just learn the basic things and let the grown-up(the politicians, the money-grabbing experts) know the rest.

so decide for yourself!

cerite gempa bumi dan stress yg dialami

2011-03-14T18:31:00.004+09:00

ok. first of all nak cakap aku ok jer kat sini lepas gempa bumi terbesar kt jepun melanda. alhamdulillah keadaan aku sgt la baik berbanding dgn mereka2 yg berada di aomori, iwate, miyagi, fukushima, ibaraki maupun chiba.

dalam 3 hari nih byk perkara dah berlaku. first pengalaman gempa bumi yg paling horror dlm hidup aku. waktu tuh duduk dlm ofis tingkat 12. macam biase buat keje kat meje sendiri tetibe bangunan goncang kuat gile. tanpe berpikir panjang terus amek helmet kat dlm laci duduk bawah meje terus. semua org buat bende same so jgn cakap aku nih panik lebeh. mmg patut panik waktu nih. bangunan goncang macam kapal nak tenggelam. semua org dok senyap jer bawah meje. takde nak jerit2 histeria mintak tolong. so bende nih berlaku lebeh kurang 2, 3 kali dlm mase 1 jam. lame lame rase dah biase pulak. so habis citer gempa bumi.

pas gempa bumi tgk luar bangunan agak huru hara. bagunan belakang fujiterebi keluar asap berkepul2. kuar bilik ofis. tgk kat tingkap tepi tandas nun belah chiba tuh kilang gas dah terbakar. waktu tuh semua org dah leh agak dah. kalau kat sini dah teruk camnih belah utara mane gempa bumi sebenar berlaku mesti lagi teruk. so semua balik buat keje cam biase sambil curik curik tgk website NHK.

then pengumuman dibuat kat ofis bgtau semua tren tak jalan hari nih. so nk balik tunggu sampai tren jalan balik (yg bukan naik tren JR) ataupun jln kaki balik rumah. so aku ngan 3 lagi member aku yg dok dekat rumah bersepakat balik sesame jalan kaki. tgk kat google map pun jalan kaki balik 3jam je.

so sesi berjalan balik rumah dari tempat kerje pun bermule. 3 org member aku tuh org asli jepun so jln mmg laju cam hampeh. tersemput2 aku nak ikut. jalan habis laju pun sampai rumah lepas 5 jam jalan. mase nih nak maki google map pun dah tak upaya. so sampai rumah bende pertama yg dibuat bukak tv tgk berite. waktu nih la baru dpt tgk berita kat utara jepun. mmg dasyat. and tv jepun mmg bagus sebab video yg die tunjuk takde langsung video mayat ataupun video org terkorban. serius semua cenel aku tgk takde pun tunjuk video org kene bawak arus tsunami. yg ade cume rumah2, kapal, kereta2 aje. membuatkan aku berpikir yg media jepun mmg pandai jaga kesensitifan rakyat die. so abis citer aku jln kaki 5 jam. lupe nak citer waktu jalan kaki tuh trefik mmg sgt sesak. kereta semua gerak 2inchi jer dalam 15minit kot. tapi aku tak dgr langsung bunyi hon. motor pun tak take over kete. polis trefik pun langsung takde. semua nye jalan smooth jer.

disebabkan gempa bumi, schedule aku utk hari sabtu dan ahad semua dibatalkn. so duduk rumah tgk news kt tv ngan fb. dgn reaktor nuklear lagi dgn org tak jumpe keluarga lagi semua keluar kat berite & fb. perasaan bercampur2. rase terharu sbb member2 semua dok msg tanye keadaan. rase sedeh tgk org yg rumah hancur dek tsunami, keluarga hilang dek tsunami. 2 hari (3 hari masuk hari ni) dok depan tv/komputer tgk berite2 nih semua.

hari nih bangun pagi dapat msg dari kawan cakap tren JR tak jalan so nak pegi kerje kene naik tren keikyu kawasaki (3km dari rumah). so siap2 awal amek beskal terus pegi stesen keikyu kawasaki. sampai stesen tgk org dah ramai giler macam ade idol arashi buat konsert free jer kat stesen. tapi tak sehuru hara konsert free arashi. semua org beratur dgn aman. line beratur nak cakap panjangnye ader la lebeh kurang 1km kot. yes, 1km! inilah jepun! biar la 5km line pun diorg akan tetap beratur. dok beratur dalam sejam aku dah give up. call member2 semua ramai cuti. so aku pun buat keputusan call company amek cuti, lepak mcd minum kopi, balik rumah.

so 3 hari nih mmg aku sgt stress dan stress tuh sampai tahap tertinggi hari nih.
so ape yg membuatkan aku stress?
BUKANNYA sebab,
1. gempa bumi terbesar di jepun
2. 5 jam jalan kaki balik rumah
3. tgk berite org hilang rumah, anak, mak, bapak, datuk, nenek, kawan2, jiran2, rumah, kereta dsbg kat tv
4. jadual weekend yg tergendala
5. 2 reaktor nuklear yg meletup (satu drpd reaktor tuh buatan company aku...)
6. beratur panjang kat stesen hanye utk balik rumah balik

TETAPI AKU STRESS sebab,
1. Berita Harian (Ahad 3/13)

2. KOSMO!

3. Fizz Fairuz (mamat nih mmg aku tak kenal langsung sebelum die buat ucapan cerdik nih)

4. mamat yang buat dajal kat form MSAJ (form mengenalpasti keadaan pelajar malaysia di jepun)

5. Rosmah (nih yg paling stress buat aku semangat nak tulis blog nih)

membuatkan aku terfikir betape rendahnye ilmu media, idola malah pemimpin malaysia kita ini. membuatkan aku rase malu nak berjumpe dgn kawan2 dan juga cikgu2 jepun aku.

bak kata isteri pemimpin kita, pn.Rosmah, kita kene ambil ini sebagai pengajaran.... WTF!

harap pn.Rosmah baca ->nih sbg pengajaran utk beliau!!!!

dah lame tak tulis dlm bm

2011-02-23T00:20:00.001+09:00

hello ape kabar,
salam sejahtera

rase dah lame tak tulis dlm bm so try tukar angin nak tulis dlm bm laaa.
aaa sejak kebelakangan ni agak sebuk ngan kerje dan band.
kat tempat kerje skrg duduk dalam team 4 org buat projek moss(share point)
utk komuniti site department kat sini. tiap tiap hari ade jer kerje so takdela boring
kat tempat kerje.

bile hari minggu pulak sebuk ngan band. bulan nih jer dah 3 kali buat live show.
bulan depan takde yg komperm lagi. maybe on 3/26 kitorg perform kat chiba.
skrg mmg rase seronok buat live. dapat jumpe org org baru and kene puji so
mmg best haha. bagi aku kitorg nih maseh tahap bayi lagi. baru 3 hari lepas kuar
dari perut mak. mmg masih mentah dan perlu byk belajar. terutama sekali ttg
stage performance.

aaaa live minggu lepas walaupun takde org dtg tgk tapi dapat kenal ngan satu band
veteran nih. member band nih semua tahap atuk org tapi mmg cool giler. dah la cool
peramah pulak tuh. syukur maseh ade lagi org org tua cool yang peramah kat negare
matahari terbit nih haha.

so kesimpulannnye bm aku maseh tak la teruk sgt haha. chiow!

bukan nak shok sendiri tapi aku mmg suke ngan lagu "better world" nih.
lagu dan lirik aku buat tapi yg buat lagu nih mantap ialah melodi gitar raimu-cyan
dengan drum ryuta-kun. and aku rase lagu nih amat sesuai ngan keadaan skrg
yg sgt porak perande terutama di afrika utara dan timur tgh! <-- serious mode haha

hey, long time no see

2011-02-13T22:53:00.002+09:00

kind of bz lately so didnt have time to update this blog.
got lots of time to watch movies tho ;p
here some movies i watched lately and my personal rankings.

teenage paparazzo ★★★★★
- good documentary film about a 13years old who make money by taking pictures of celebrities

you might as well live ★★★★☆
- a film about a nobody/loser who everybody hate but manage to be somebody after he found a girl, some money and a championship ring! must watch film for black comedy fans

it's kind of a funny story ★★★★★
- dont aspect a very funny story on this one. yes there were some funny moments but the main focus on this film should be the drama in it. and the "under pressure" cover scene!

adventure of power ★★★★★
- a very minor movie and kind of cheap but i really like it! its a story about this guy who loves playing drums but he can't play the real drums so he discovered other alternative to satisfied himself, air-drum!!! and he believe his air-drumming can change the world!

middle men ★★★★★
- another version of "social network" with more guns, gangters and of coz, girls! perfect 3Gs film i must say!

avatar ★★★★☆
- yeah, this one should get all the stars but its so overrated so minus 1star for that :p

due date ★★★★★
- robert downey jr did a great job in this one!

in bruges ★★★★★
- surely in my top 10 must-watch-movie-while-you-still-alive. love the dialogue, love the scenery!

punching the clown ★★★★★
- a film about a singer who sing funny songs. really love the songs! funnier than adam sandler's

oldboy ★★★★★
- a korean film about a middle-age guy who got kidnapped for 15 years for some reason that he also didnt know. really love the climax of this movie!

into the wild ★★★★★
- i must admit, after seeing this movie i really think a lot. mostly about some decision i made all this time. like living far away from home for a long time... yeah, a must watch for those who live far from home or those who are thinking to live far from home.

children of men ★★★☆☆
- a good sci-fi movie with lots of messages. kind of boring for some scenes but overall, worth the watch

the town ★★★★☆
- ben affleck did great in this movie as the lead actor and also as the director. but the ending is kind of predictable so not kind of an original movie i guess.

zombieland ★★★★★
- really had lots of laugh on this one. the bill murray cameo was awesome! a must-watch film for zombie movie fans!

shutter island ★★★★★
- great movie! found lots of similarities with "inception" especially the music. love the ending!

tucker and dale vs evil ★★★★★
- another great minor movie! had lots of laugh on this one too! the film is about some misunderstanding between tucker and dale with some college students which lead to some gore accidents. really deserved all the stars.

megamind ★★★★☆
- a cool animated movie about villain turns to hero. should have all the stars if the megamind face looks more like will ferrell.

rock star ★★★☆☆
- an old film about a guy who dream came true after got chosed to replace a frontman of his favourite rock band. the music were good but the story kind of lame. anyway a must-watch for a rock fans.

there you go. a total of 18 movies in just two weeks. bz man rite? heh.

lady gaga's phone

2010-12-08T00:52:00.001+09:00

nowadays you can see lots of android au's commercial here in japan.
you will see it in the train、you will see it on tv, you will see it in the internet, along the street....
and with lady gaga's poker face as the theme-song of the commercial make
it more noticeable and irresistible!
everytime when i heard that song i can see the new android phone in my head.

for the first time i really felt regret for turning my back on au.
iphone is good. you cannot disagree on that. but this new
android smartphone from au comes with skype-au which mean
you can call using skype with just a 3g connection!!!
imagine calling outside japan and talk 24 hours non-stop for just 3000yen a month!!! damn!

softbank or apple should do something before i switch back to au....

Science Fiction

2010-11-29T01:31:00.001+09:00

another awesome sunday.
went to see rufio and punchline.
thanx to garni-san for reserved me a ticket.
and it became more awesome when he reserved me a half price ticket!!!

met with rina-san who were so in love with punchline for the first time.
she came from sendai just to see them.
she told me she has been their fan for 7 years now and it was a moment to remember for her as this is her first punchline's show.

well same as me when it comes to rufio.
7 or 8 years of wait.
and yes, the first time is always be the one that we will remember til the day we die ;p

punchline were great! it was my first time seeing them. i really like 21 forever and 37 everywhere.
they were so nice and friendly too.
after the show i met with the vocalist and he said his hero is matt pryor after seeing my get up kids sweater.
very cool and down to earth guy.

rufio, they were awesome!!!
they played a lot of their old songs which really surprised me (after changing members and all).
and the encore songs were science fiction and above me which are my favorites!!!
and i got the drummer's drum stick too :)

after the show i got the chance to talk to them. they told me they had plan to come to malaysia and do some shows there but it was canceled.
it got something to do with their visas.
i replied by saying malaysian promoters are not good at all and they should just come to japan more often ;p
yeah, i had become my own country backstabber.

so overall it was a really great moment for me and for all the true fans who came to the shows! and yes, i captured some photos to be share here.

rufio's vocalist

Rufio, Punchline & Man Overboard

like always, not very clear image of me... with rufio's vocalist

hey, its that season again! the season where your mp3 player hate you for playing those outdated emo songs non-stop and season where you suddenly love watching overrated comedy-romantic film..... sort of.

talk about comedy-romantic film, i just happened to watch 2 films related to that genre. going into distance and easy A. maybe i will make some reviews when im free. oh and i almost forgot to make a review of machete and nowhere boy. i'll make some times for it!!!

ok got to sleep now!!!!

oyasumi!

there goes my one day holiday

2010-11-03T23:00:00.001+09:00

its holiday today
i should be happy
and do a lot of things i should have do
the things i can't do during usual weekdays
like playing the new fifa 11 i just bought days ago
or playing the new ps3 move i just bought week ago
or practicing bass coz i have the long awaiting recording session this saturday
or studying oracle dba that i failed last time
or studying japanese coz i have japanese gred 1 exam next moth
or watching some random movies coz i like watching movies

but no...

i didnt do anything relating to the stuffs i just wrote above...
all i did today was lying in bed thinking what to do while looking at my computer screen....
i did went outside buying things from supermarket to cook dinner.... but just that...

then i realized i did want to do something
something that i recently really wanting to do
that is calling people
anyone, i just dont care....
so i called home....
its the only place that i comfortable to call to anyway :)
yeah its help a lot but after that
still thinking to call someone else....

who to call?

i dunno... i just dont have anyone to call accept home....

so i start blaming the man who invented email, messenger, social service network, internet....
and there goes my one day holiday... nothing but full of hatred (T T).

hey its getting cold here!

an early winter!
that means
lonely season came early this year!!!
yea!!!!

sigh...

my favourite live band

2010-10-30T20:21:00.003+09:00

have to be less than jake !!!

went to ebisu with my band's drummer, ryuta to see them last thursday.
it was my 7th time seeing them live since 2006.

the opening band was hey smith!, an osaka skapunk band.
4 years ago when i saw them playing in kobe there were only 15 peoples watching them
but now they opened for less than jake!
very cool band and all the members are very down to earth.

so back to ltj's show, they played most of their fan's favourite songs including
johnny quest, automatic, all my bestfriends are metalhead,
ghost of you and me, look what happened,
bla bla bla i think all their songs are fan's favourite anyway :)

well great show, lots of fun and last but not least,
the feeling of seeing your favourite all time band!
it was the best!!

next, maybe rufio:)

took this right after my last crowd surf of the day

i love outstation

2010-10-28T00:58:00.001+09:00

went to my first outstation yesterday and my second outstation today.

kind of enjoyed both days!

working in a same place with a same people all the time can create a lot of stress
so having an outstation once in a while can really reduce some of the stress.

talking about stress...
i just saw a japanese tv program today that said people who in stress like to have
more time alone and feel lazy to meet new people.

something that i felt a lot lately.... (><)

well enough of that! maybe i just need something to bring back some of the motivation i left behind like tomorrow's less than jake show!!! going to have a lot of fun there after work!!!

hey, here some pics i took last weekends. went to shibuya to see Skalapper live show on saturday and played basketball, a game/sport that i used to love with my fellow gundai's friends in the AYNJ Sports Festival on sunday. we represent malaysia team and beat vietnam who didnt even show up and indonesia in one of the best derby game to get a 3rd place. we lost to laos who went to the final with phillipine. phillipine won the game and we got the best crowd!

LEE (Skalapper Ba.Vo.)

won 3rd place @ AYNJ's basketball game

the malaysian representatives @ AYNJ Sports Festival (badminton & basketball + supporters)

The Expendables!!!!

2010-10-19T23:54:00.004+09:00

went to see it with kevin cho and hayashi today @ ginza marunouchi picadeli!
bad ass movie with bad ass action superstars!!
must see for all 80's action movie fan!! like always, here's my rating...

1★ for a straight forward action scenes and superb violence/gore scenes
1★ for the classic's good guys can shoot bad guys, bad guys can shoot air
1★ for cameo appearance by bruce willis (2 minutes?) and arnold schwarzenegger (50 seconds?)
1★ for classic's bad guy talking lots of craps before killing the good guy, and got killed instead
1★ for dolph lundgren returning playing in a box-office movie :p

-1★ for unreal scene (for example *spoilers alert* the scene where austin got burned by fire. instead of using cg, they should pay some guy to get burn, like they used to do in the old days)

so overall, 4/5! but for the action-genre-only-rating they deserved 5/5!!

here some embarrassing pics but not that embarrass to be put here :p

trying to make a bad ass face but it turned out to be a stupid face

kevin cho was so excited to see his favourite actor, mr.bruce but disappointed afterwards when mr.bruce just appeared for not more than 2 minutes in the movie :D

lately....

2010-10-19T01:31:00.001+09:00

wake up @ 6.30, go to work, get home @ 17.30,
watch tv, suddenly lost conscious, suddenly wake up at 1 or 2 am...
turn off light and go back to sleep...

and it goes like that everyday till weekends...

is this normal??

let me tell you what's not normal...

yeah, at least im normal than this cat so i should be more thankful :D

back to sleep!

北(North) 海(Sea) 道(Road)

2010-10-14T21:54:00.002+09:00

last week me and 3 of my colleagues went to hokkaido for vacation.
its been like 8 months since my last vacation so i was so excited!

went there for 4 days, ate a lot of seafoods, rode horse for the first time,
drove a rental car for 10 hours, took lots of pictures, and the most important
thing, had lots of fun with my friends!!

thanx to kevin cho for planning this trip,
thanx to noncyan and narazaki for deciding to go to this trip and trusted us :p
not to forget madoka necyan for borrowing and letting me drive her mother's car plus
guided us around sapporo! :)

can't wait for another vacation! next will be okinawa! or saipan (according to mr.kevin cho)! :p

hey, here some pictures worth sharing!!

all photos were taken by either kevin cho, me, noncyan or narazaki using kevin cho's kiss 4x.

i am just another...

2010-10-05T00:02:00.000+09:00

working class whore

i can feel the pressure coming down
from all around so many deadlines to meet
life has gotten crazy again
so many people counting on me
i keep my nose pressed to the grindstone
i find comfort there i work for a living
and i get it done i don't have a moment to spare.
you think you've got me figured out
well there's not really to much more
i work for a living and i get it done
i'm just another working class whore.
i put in the over time on this corporate ladder
climb i'm respected inside these wall's
i make my journey home watch tv all alone
outside i'm nothing so many times
i wish i could make a difference in this world
but i work for a living and i get it done
i just do as i am told you think
you've got me figured out
well there's not really to much more
i work for a living and i get it done
i'm just another working class whore.
day in day out same old thing
i'm a slave to this grind for all the work i do
to keep myself ahead
i wonder what i leave behind.
rent, water, power, phone,
insurance to pay on health, life auto and home.
i wake up old and i won't fit the mold
i'll be out on my own.
i'm just another working class whore.

hey guess wut! from tomorrow i will start my ojt (on job training). yahoo! at last a real training! no more sitting in class listening to some boring lectures, no more peoples that tell you dont do this and that like you are a kindergarten kid, no more java study after 5!

but i think im going to miss all of that....

last friday we all had nomikai at a place near our company. thanx to ryo for picking a nice seafood izakaya just because of me can't eat normal meat.

we all had lots of fun there inspite only few of us passed our java test :p

the nomikai is also a farewell party for ISC people and two of the soumu staff because they will straight away working from tomorrow. good for them!

after the nomikai, like always, nijikai @ nearest karaoke! had lots of fun there too!

overall really enjoy everything at the moment and ready for some new challenge!!!

yeah!!

with hayashi and chayanin

with ono, cho and narumi

some good moment to share ;p (with narumi, wakki and ozawa)

2jikai!!! (noncyan, kawacyan, narazaki and ono)

*thanx to chayanin for the pictures!

Get Him To The Greek

2010-09-26T00:12:00.001+09:00

A brilliant movie form the man who made Forgetting Sarah Marshall.
Aldous Snow finally became the main character on this one!

He was a rock star in 'Forgetting Sarah Marshall', but 'Get Him To The Greek' made him a super rock star!

1★ for super funny 'hateful respect' joke
1★ for all the ridiculous rock songs (African Child excluded)
1★ for the threesome scene
1★ for Aldous Snow awesome character

so there it is, 4 out of 5!!

Resident Evil After Life

2010-09-16T00:25:00.001+09:00

hmm... another overrated movie i guess. the 3D effect just made it worst(look like cheap movie in 3d)

1★for milla jovovich's hot character, alice
1★for zombie getting shot in the head
1★for the game environment (including the music)

3 out of 5. not recommended to those who never see the previous movies or never play the game.

p/s : extinction is the best!

itunes is overrated

2010-09-11T10:55:00.001+09:00

itunes sux!
you need quicktime to use itunes, wtf!

forget apple, creative rulez!!!!

hey, selamat hari raya maaf zahir & batin!!

PUNKAFOOLIC 行って来たぜー！　i went to punkafoolic!

2010-09-05T01:53:00.004+09:00

its my first time attending the event. last year i was back home so i didn't have the chance to see it.

went there after band training @ shimokita. oo the event was at shibuya.
too many people too many bands to watch.
got to see useless id, spacepimps, title fight, all heart and h2o for the first time!
last band was mad caddies! my second time and it was the best show ever!
they did drinking for 11, made me so high :p

the best band got to be title fight from pennsylvania! they are still young (around 19,20) but they sure did a good job playing their music! listening to them made me go back to 10 years ago where nothing really bother me accept my passion for music. people who like 90's sound-like-emo-melodic-core should listen to them. i bought their cd and their t-shirt. and i got chance to talk to them too and they all really nice. they sure going to be big like 2,3 years from now.

anyway besides saw some good shows i also went to some cd shops around shibuya looking for some rare cds to fill up my cd racks. yeah, old habit actually.

managed to buy 9 cds.

weezer - the famous blue cd. listened to it from my bro friends cassette like long long time ago. never got a chance to buy one till today

satanic surfers - 666 motor inn. veri old album. very rare

reel big fish - cheer up. have the cassette version so why not cd?

the new amsterdams - worse for the wear. its a perfect time to hear this kind of music. fresh acoustic-emo-songs from the guy who made emo music fun to listen to

the new amsterdams - at the foot of my rival. like i said before :p

boyhitscar - kind of heard this band somewhere but can't remember. bought it anyway

less than jake - gnv fla. actually bought the same cd like years ago but got stole by ex so bought another one. stupid bitch!

anyway, beside these cds, i found a cd that i really really want to listen rite now!

yeah! who doesn't know a-teens!!! will hear this over and over again until i vomit all four of them

hey, got some pictures i managed to take with my iphone!

redemption 97

mr.han vs mr.miyagi

2010-08-30T00:26:00.001+09:00

mr.han can build car!
mr.miyagi can just cut some bonsais

but one think for sure! they both kick ass!!

1★ for good kung-fu
1★ for some nostalgic moments (from the original)
1★ for cute little chinese girl dancing to the rhythm of gaga's poker face
1★ for little smith good acting
1★ for chan's emo moment
-1★ for not include the famous mr.miyagi's nose pitching

so overall 4/5 stars!!! ★★★★☆

the so famous beck the anime is going to make debut on real life film next month and as a fan im sure not going to miss it.

that day

2010-08-18T22:04:00.006+09:00

today was 'that day'...

'that day' that just came to remind me about few things. mostly regarding about future....

although today my team did well in our group work but i still had this not-so-good feeling. was it about a scene i saw this morning in office that still hound me or just those work stress... i dont really know.

and listening to nfg second album while returning home alone after watching a bad movie just make it worst.

yeah, maybe i should blame cage for selling out in disney's bad-for-adult-and-double-bad-for-children movie or blame it on me for always letting out chances that came in front of my eyes.

aaaaa love is really complicated....

one day you really like somebody but the next day you just forgot about her until someone take your chance and you feel like a dumb ass for forgetting about her....

then you make yourself not to care anymore instead the feeling still hanging somewhere within you and you still trying not to care and ask few of your friends to watch some bad disney's movie which your favourite actor is trying so hard acting as one of a disney's character eventho he should just stay as a bad- ass action guy and after watching the movie instead of going back to the station with your friends you rather eat alone at mcdonalds because the bicmac is getting cheaper and hurting yourself more by listening to nfg second album, the album that you kept repeating after getting dumped by your first gf because you are busy playing shenmue on dreamcast instead going out with her.

aaaaaaaa i just want to go home and have dinner with my family

p/s: an advice from now-me to future-me, when fasting dont eat strawberry crepe and pop-corn as your first meal of the day! bad idea... really really bad idea

july's recap

2010-08-08T02:34:00.000+09:00

not much to recap.
maybe nothing to recap at all...
still in training and still sleep during training.

its august already and its so hot here.

hope it will get a little colder before the fasting season starts (that it next week tho!)

i think my english writing skills are in its lowest point...
should practice more...

2010-05-16T11:43:00.002+09:00

今日はMay 16（5月16日）！

どうでもいい話だけど、

LAGWAGONのMay 16という曲が好きです！！

今聞いてるんだけど、
'It Just Another Saturday'のフレーズが
'It Just Another Sunday'だったら完璧だな～
一人で思ってた

それだけ！（笑）

最近静岡の富士市にある工場で工場研修やってる～
静岡の人はみんなフレンドリーだね！
ただ工場で研修するのは予想以上キツイよね！
まーのこり2週間がんばります！！

これから富士市のうわさのイオンモール行ってくるわ！！

ADIOS!

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
(direct translation)

Today is May 16!

It's not that big deal,

but i really like LAGWAGON's song, May 16!!

I'm listening to it now,
I think if the phrase 'It Just Another Saturday'
turned out to be 'It Just Another Sunday',
it will be perfect!(for today)

that's all (laugh)

recently i'm doing factory training in fuji-city, shizuoka～
shizuoka peoples are very friendly!
it just that doing training in factory is tougher than i expected!
well- i will do my best for this final 2 weeks!

i'm going to the fuji city most-talked-about aeon mall now!

ADIOS!

due hari lepas salji turun agak lebat di kawasan sekitar kantou. salji di bulan 3 agak ganjil......

due hari lepas juga aku berjaya menghabiskan persembahan power point penyelidikan tahun akhir aku. aku rase aku telah buat yg terbaik. terime kasih kepada 2 org cikgu aku yang tolong jawabkan soalan yg dilontarkan kepada aku. terima kasih juga kepada cik narazaki yang dtg melihat.

selesai semuanya seperti biase, majlis uchiage (minum2 bersama cikgu dan senpai). kali nih majlis berlangsung selame 6 jam di izakaya outami. penat layan org mabuk tapi seronok sebab org jepun nih bile dah mabuk baru nak bukak semua citer.

hari nih bangun pukul 2 ptg pegi sekolah sambung tulis thesis. oh jumpe kejap ngan cik narazaki borak borak pasal sekolah, kerja dan australia.

sekian!

hadiah untuk zaman remaja

2010-03-07T03:17:00.003+09:00

siri pengembaraan negara kangaroo terpakse ditangguhkan sementara sebab skrg nih aku agak sebuk dgn penyelidikan. insyaAllah selepas segale2 nye selesai aku akan menyambung kembali siri tersebut. hari ini aku ingin menceritakan pengembaraan 'satu hari' aku semalam.

semalam aku telah berjaya membuat rekod baru persendirian dengan pergi ke nagoya dari kiryu dan balik kiryu balik tidak lebeh dr 24 jam. tahniah kepade aku. utk pengetahuan korunk gunma ke nagoya ade la lebeh kurang 500km.jadi pergi balik ade dlm 1000km.

semuanya gara gara ingin melihat band kesukaan aku, the get up kids beraksi di negara matahari terbit nih. bagi aku melihat mereka di australia tempoh hari tidak lah begitu puas kerana mereka bermain di festival. ya festival musik mmg best kerane dapat melihat byk band dalam satu hari tetapi jika ingin melihat band yg betul betul kite suke, melihat mereka di live house dgn mereka sbg headliner adalah terbaik.

pengembaraan aku bermula pada pukul 2 ptg dengan menaiki kereta sendiri menuju ke higashi omiya. sebelum sampai ke destinasi singgah dulu di ashikaga halal food menikmati nari beryani yang dah 3 minggu aku ponteng. tiba di higashi omiya dlm pukul 4.30 ptg dan terus menaiki keretapi ke tokyo eki. tiba di tokyo eki pada pukul 5 lebeh dan terus ke kaunter shinkansen mendapatkan tiket keretapi shinkansen ke nagoya. dapat tiket terus naik shinkansen ke nagoya. tiba di nagoya pada pukul 7 malam.

setibanyanya di nagoya aku mengambil keretapi bawah tanah ke stesen yabacho. tiba di yabacho pada pukul 7.15 minit dan terus ke parco tingkat 8 di mana live house club quatro terletak. masuk aje di dalam live house, opening band dari jepun, comeback my daughter sdg beraksi di pentas. melihat sekeliling org tidaklah begitu ramai. suasana yg bagi aku agak selesa.

selepas tamat cbmd beraksi tibalah mase nye band terhebat di dunia beraksi. persembahan dimulakan dgn lagu holiday dari album terhebat mereka, something to write home about. selepas itu semuanya menjadi sejarah!

melihat the get up kids beraksi di pentas merupakan impian aku semasa di sekolah menengah dahulu. utk pengetahuan org org yg masih tidak mengetahui, zaman remaja aku dahulu dipenuhi dgn muzik dan komik aje. tiada kesah cinta, tiada kesah politik. aaa mungkin aku tipu di situ. kesah cinta tuh mungkin ade. jika sesape yg membuka loker aku di asrama dahulu kalau bukan mau pinjam komik mesti mau pinjam kaset yang hampir tiap tiap minggu aku beli di kedai kaset bangunan umno kota bharu. oh semestinya album pertama get up kids aku pun di beli di sana!

ingat balik zaman remaja dulu, lagu get up kids mmg selalu di dengar. sebelum tidur, semase tidur, semase prep, selepas prep... mendengar lagu lagu mereka ini membuatkan aku membina impian sendiri utk suatu hari pergi ke luar negara melihat mereka beraksi di pentas. impian impian beginilah yang membuatkan azam aku utk belajar rajin rajin supaya dapat sambung belajar ke luar negara. ya ini mmg tidak tipu.

so begitulah ceritanya. walaupun semalam aku telah menghabiskan begitu byk duit, masa dan tenaga hanya sekadar untuk melihat sebuah band beraksi tetapi aku langsung tidak menyesal. bagi aku semua ini adalah hadiah untuk zaman remaja aku di mana ketika remaja aku tidak mampu memberi hadiah sebegini kepada diri ku. duit bukan segala galanya. memenuhi impian zaman remaja adalah sesuatu yang lebeh berharga dari duit!

sambung kembali cerita yg ditinggalkan tadi, the get up kids menghabiskan persembahan mereka dgn 2 kali encore di mana encore terakhir merupakan 2 buah lagu kesukaan aku iaitu out of reach dan close to home. klasik!!!! tamat sahaja live mereka aku terus ke arah goods dan membeli sweater get up kids sbg kenangan sebelum balik ke stesen nagoya. tiba di stesen nagoya aku ke kaunter tiket shinkansen sekali lagi membeli tiket shinkansen pulang ke tokyo.

aku tiba di tokyo pada pukul 11.30 malam dan keretapi terakhir ke higashi omiya telah pun berakhir. oleh kerane ingin juga balik ke rumah disebabkan ingin menyambung thesis aku membuat keputusan menaiki keretapi sampai omiya. aku terlupa hari ini hari jumaat jadi keretapi sgt lah penuh dgn org org bekerja yg sgt busuk dgn bau arak. 1 jam aku menjadi sardin di dalam keretapi ke omiya.

tiba di omiya aku bercadang mengambil teksi ke higashi omiya tetapi aku ternampak bas ke stesen miyahara iaitu stesen yg agak dekat dgn higashi omiya jadi aku pun mengambil keputusan menaiki bas tersebut. tiba di stesen miyahara aku menjadi bengong sekejap kerana aku bercadang ingin berjalan dari situ ke stesen higashi omiya tetapi aku lupe yg hp aku dah pun habis bateri. oleh kerane tiada navi ataupun peta utk ke sana akhirnya aku mengalah mengambil teksi aje. yang penting aku selamat juga tiba di stesen higashi omiya dan berjaya balik ke kiryu!

begitulah kesahnya pengembaraan 'satu hari' aku yang penuh dgn cabaran. apa tak nya, berjalan sejauh 1000km dalam mase 12 jam dengan menggunakan hampir semua pengangkutan awam yg ade di jepun. sampai skrg aku masih ingat aku bermimpi.

baiklah, dah lame tak tulis panjang2 sekali tulis panjang rase taknak berenti pulak. esok masih byk keje yg kene buat jadi aku berenti di sini saje.

sekian!

salamappo filipin!!!

2010-02-28T09:30:00.000+09:00

hari ni hari terakhir di filipin. mungkin tidak ramai yg datang ke filipin utk bercuti, malah aku pun datang kerana mempunyai satu hari pertukaran kapal terbang disini sebelum balik ke jepun. tapi setelah dua hari duduk di sini (sehari semase pertukaran ke australia dan sehari semasa pertukaran ke jepun) aku terase tidak cukup hanya due hari dan terase ingin berada di sini lebeh lame lagi. mungkin satu hari nanti aku akan kembali lagi ke sini dan berkunjung ke tempat tempat lain selain manila seperti pulau cebu dan pulau palawan.

mungkin suatu hari nanti.... sekian.

bye bye mates!!

2010-02-26T22:10:00.002+09:00

esok pagi aku akan bertolak ke filipina meniggalkan tanah kangaroo dan beruang koala ini. terlalu banyak cerita yang ingin diceritakan terlalu banyak pengalaman yg ingin dikongsi bersama. walaupun hanya 10 hari tetapi terase seperti 10 bulan berada di sini. mungkin kerane setiap mase yg ade dimanfaatkan sepenuhnya. setiap hari ade saje aktiviti yang dibuat.

semalam abangku telah dtg drpd malaysia utk menyertai kami dalam pengembaraan di negara kangaroo ini. kami memulakan pengembaraan bersama dengan membeli belah di bandar melbourne. di waktu petang pula hiruma telah berpisah dengan kami dan kami adik beradik memulakan pengembaraan baru mencari tiket live reel big fish dan aquabats (2 kumpulan ska yang kami sgt suka dan dgr sejak sekolah menengah) yang akan mengadakan side show sempena soundwave di st. kilda, melbourne. walaupun sudah mengetahui terlebeh dahulu yg tiket live bagi show ini telahpun sold out tapi kami tetap berharap utk mendapat tiket masuk. sebelum show bermula kami bertanya kepada org org sekuriti di live house ttg tiket masuk tetapi jawapan yg kami dapat seperti jangkaan iaitu tiada lagi tiket dijual. tetapi bak kata pepatah rezeki dtg tanpa diduga, seorg warganegara australia mendengar perbualan kami dgn org sekuriti dan dtg ke arah kami menanyakan adakah kami mencari tiket masuk live reel big fish. sudah tentu kami menjawab ya!

tanpa diduga 'en.menanyakan tiket' itu sebenarnya ingin menjual 2 tiket live show reel big fish itu kerana mungkin die telah menukar fikiran utk melihat live show lain berdekatan seperti jimmy eat world. dan yang paling seronoknya tiket yg berharga $53 itu telah dijual dengan harga $40 saja. alangkah beruntungnya kami berdua. tanpa sebarang pertanyaan lebeh kami membeli tiket tersebut dengan wajah riang ria seperti seorg budak mendapat ais krim paddle pop pelangi. dan kami dapat masuk live house tersebut dan menikmati live show daripada kumpulan ska terhebat di dunia, reel big fish dan aquabats! tidak lupe juga opening band, the creepshow!!!! dan crowd australia juga sgt best!!! walaupun manner mereka tidak sehebat jepun tapi senyuman mereka dan keberanian menegur org asing adalah terbaik!

inilah antara cerita2 yang aku akan ceritakan nanti. buat mase ni ini sajalah yang dapat aku ceritakan.

nota pengembaraan akan bersambung..... sekian!

kebahagiaan

2010-02-23T22:56:00.005+09:00

setiap org mendapat kebahagiaan melalui pelbagai cara secara sedar ataupun tidak.

kebahagiaan datang dan pergi tanpa kita jangka.

hari ini aku mendapat kunjungan kebahagiaan yg tidak dpt digambarkan dgn kata2.

gambar di atas sudah cukup jelas utk menceritakan kebahagiaan tersebut.

nota pengembaraan akan bersambung lagi....

sekian!

semalam aku dan beberapa org gundaian yg lain ke joyfull utk menghabiskan sise sise jumaat ngan aktiviti2 yg berfaedah seperti mengenang kembali permainan2 zaman kanak2, koleksi citer2 hantu, koleksi citer2 sekolah, koleksi citer2 kawan syapek dan sebagainya. sgt seronok sampai lupe nak balik rumah. pukul 3 pagi baru balik. aku pulak hari ni ade baito buat2 lupe. tapi aku dapat jugak bangun pagi pergi baito. tahniah kepada aku!

hari ni pulak baito seperti biase tapi mmg ngantuk giler sampai sapu minyak butter kat bekas kuih pun leh terlelap. seb baik tak de org nampak haha. petang pulak tgk luar kedai snow dah mule turun dgn lebatnya. tencho pulak dok sebok tanye tayar kete aku studless ker. prihatin btol. balik dr baito tetibe rase nak buat org salji. contact syapek die pun on jer so pas isyak gi terus kaikan. so bermulalah aktiviti membuat org salji bersama syapek. hasil nya.

cam hampeh

inilah hasil nya kalau ngengade nak buat org salji dengan salji yg seciput jer. tapi takpela yang penting usaha haha.

meja malas

2010-02-05T01:27:00.001+09:00

selalu kite dengar kerusi malas. meja malas camne pulak?

inilah meja malas. kat jepun die panggil kotatsu. kalau masuk badan bawah meja nih mase musim sejuk terase begitu heaven sekali sampai rase nak tido jer terus bawah meje nih. bagi mereka yang dok jepun tapi tak penah rase nikmat duduk bawah kotatsu disarankan membeli sebuah kotatsu utk diri sendiri dan rase sendiri kenikmatan kotatsu nih.

oh tukar cite kejap, kebelakangan ni aku rase blog ini nampak tidak begitu menarik (dari dulu pun kot). oleh itu aku telah memikirkan beberape corner baru utk diletak di blog ini. so aku nak memperkenalkan corner baru yang telah aku pikirkan beberape minit yg lepas iaitu corner gambar2 lame! aku akan letak gambar2 lame yang aku rase nak letak dan komen ttg gambar tersebut. 記念すべき第一回目の写真はこちらです!!!

memory lane no.1

kenangan musim panas tahun 2005. gambar diambil di puncak fuji bersama2 rakan2 seperjuangan ppktj menggunakan kamera lumix lame aku yg dah rosak. kami semua baru sampai jepun tak sampai 6 bulan tapi kami semua telah menawan puncak fuji dengan jayanya. semestinya kenangan yg tidak dpt aku lupakan. bile tgk balik gambar nih rase sedeh pun ade sebab kebanyakan mereka yang ade dlm gambar nih akan meninggalkan bumi matahari terbit nih pada bulan 3 nih (><). oh utk pengetahuan korunk gambar ini telah menjadi gambar muke depan salam perantauan utusan pada tahun 2005 hehe.

tamat memory lane no.1

ini adalah entri untuk 2hb 2

2010-02-03T01:20:00.001+09:00

shimatta! terlepas pulak entri utk 2hb. takpelah bukannye berdose pun kalau tinggal tulis blog haha.

hari nih dok sebuk tanye sane sini pasal chideji (digital broadcast). tv hebat dah ade, kad b-cas dah dpt, antenna apa-to oyasan cakap dah pasang yg boleh tgk chideji tapi apesal tak dapat lagi tgk chideji nih! tensen pun ade gak so check la internet semua. then tgk kat tempat2 yang cakap boleh tgk chideji kiryu nih tak termasuk tempat tuh. tak tau la nak percaye ke tak sebab rumah lain kat kiryu nih boleh jer tgk. hmmm..... tensen tensen

kalau tgk kat pete nih mmg tempat aku (yang tande cross) tuh tak masuk dalam warne oren atau merah jambu. jadi adakah ini bermaksud chideji tak sampai lagi kat tempat aku????

aaahhh takper la dah nak pindah pun. utk 2 bulan nih bersabar aje la ngan analog broadcast. yang penting aku leh main game ngan gambar & sound yg best dan juge tgk muvie2 dload kat internet dgn begitu best sekali menggunakan ps3 media server hehe.

oh lupe lak nak cakap hari nih bangun pagi ingat salji berkumpul ngan banyak tapi alangkah sedehnye bile tgk luar salji kebanyakan nya dah cair. harapan untuk membuat org salji turut cair seperti salji2 tuh huhu.

[Foo Fighters : February Stars (live)]

hari ini salji turun dengan lebat di kiryu. bukannya tak penah tgk salji tapi tak tau naper terase begitu excited(ataupun kandou?). teringat balik zaman kat kisarazu mase first time tgk snow turun kat sane.

tukar citer lain jap, semalam sebenarnye hari dapat gaji kedai kek uchiyama. bagi aku pulak hatsukyuuryou! (first gaji) biler tgk nilai duit yang dapat sungguh tak percaya aku boleh dapat duit sebanyak tuh dalam satu bulan jer. tak rase cam kerje keras sgt pun. mungkin suasana kedai yang sungguh friendly membuatkan aku lupe ttg mase bekerja aku. ape ape pun alhamdulillah. dengan duit nih bolehla aku bercuti dengan gembire sekali :)
