ZuLdaniaL Listening to: Westlife - What Makes a Man

since March 2005.. ive indulged myself in this blogging world... constantly reaching out to others via this means of blogging... some from total strangers... became a friend.. a part of my life...

but sadly... the journey has to end...

ive painstakingly decided to stop blogging... a decision dat was hard to make on my part... blogging became a habit... no longer something which i did in times of boredom... neither did anybody point a gun on my head and told me to blog these down...

i thank you all for your time and friendship... blogging will never be great without your presence...

Singaporean History X @ blogspot - has ceased operations...

before i take my leave... there are just a couple of people i want to thank...

first and foremost, blogger.com... for allowing the chance for me to blog... their ever friendly interface and easily understandable features made my whole blogging experience so much easier...

thanks goes out to blogskins.com too for giving me a whole lot of ideas as to building my blog till wat it has become today...

not forgetting... to my favourite bloggers who never fail to come back and read my shit... namely, Najie, Jana, Dopeyy, A'in... u guys rawk my world...

and before i take my leave... just wanna quote a lyric from the ever famous boyband - Westlife... from one of their hit - What Makes a Man...

"This isn't goodbye,
even as I watch you leave,
this isn't goodbye
I swear I won't cry,
even as tears fill my eyes,
I swear I won't cry"

hell yeah... this isnt goodbye...

ive shifted to http://zuldanial.multiply.com

please update ur links...

thanks and goodbye for now...

Unprofessional Critic

2006-09-04T22:46:00.000+08:00

ZuLdaniaL Listening to: Whitney Houstan n' Debrah Cox - Same Script, Different Cast

how many a times do u read up the papers or surf on the internet about a particular movie and the ratings and critics doesnt speak well of the movie...

but sometimes... being humans.. we tend to be stubborn and still go ahead and watch the movie that u have been waiting to be shown for months...

and its onli after that you realise that the critic given wasnt one that does justice to wat u felt bout the movie...

what im trying to say is.. sometimes the critics just aint rite...

besides.. people have come to learn that different people have different taste...

so how can one depend on the critics potrayed... and expect that you would feel the same way towards the movie...

variety.. that is what people need...

and once you found the perfect person for a critic or rating that suits your style.. its onli then the critic would do justice to you...

having said dat... ive come up with my own critic corner.. where i express my hates.. my delights... watever feelings i may have on a certain movie...

and just maybe u and i have the same taste... then my critic would do justice on the next movie that u ought to see...

check it out on the left under s'pore reviews...

Missing Sunday Mornings

2006-09-03T14:17:00.000+08:00

ZuLdaniaL Listening to: Bryan Adams - Heaven

not a typical sunday off...

usually, i wouldnt be bothered to wake up dat early on an off day especially when its a sunday... i would most frequently be found still sleeping soundly in my bed till early afternoon...

today was a bit different...

i woke up a earlier and off i go on my bike.. riding my way through the SLE...

the morning breeze was definitely something ive not enjoyed for quite some time now.... the unbusy expressway.. the slight heat from the sun...

i miss sunday mornings!!!

as for now... have a great Sunday ahead of you...

here is a lil small things in life to perk up dat Sunday of yours...

Uncle Zul: Danish ngah uat per tu??

Danish: Jgn kashau ah... menyibuk jek org main komputer...

cheh... ko step pandai jer nak typing tu...

Childhood Dreams

2006-09-02T11:10:00.000+08:00

ZuLdaniaL Listening to: Mariah Carey n' Boyz II Men - I'll be there

as a kid.. believe it or not... i once dreamt of becoming something which was totally not wat i am today... not even close...

me and my dreams... cheh!

but it has always been interesting thinking how i could handle dat group of people in my charge...

u tell them shut up.. they shut up.. tell them to stand.. they stand.. tell them to sit.. they sit...

oh wonderful...

but being a law enforcer... it thot me otherwise bout these people nowadays.. unlike during my time... they dont do exactly wats told..

told to sit... they stand... told to shut up.. they retaliate... they definitely have a mind of their own...

oh well students nowadays...

and damn how glad i didnt pursue that dream of mine.. definitely gonna have a high blood pressure im telling u...

here's a tribute to the teachers who tolerated all dat... thumbs ah lah deh...

and thanks to all the teachers who had crossed my path throughout the years... u guys rawkss.....

"Happy Teachers Day!"

ZuLdaniaL Listening to: Rio Febrian n' Glen Fredly - Katakan Kau Milik Ku

one good thing bout not taking the bus but own transport is dat i get to see wat is on the back of the bus...

public transportation in Singapore is unique in a way... on the exterior of the buses are printed with advertisement... something that i think doesnt happen in most countries...

earlier on the road, while at the traffic light, something caught my attention... printed on the back of the bus...

"Whats the best business and accounting software?"

MYOB - Mind Your Own Business

is there such a software or was dat just to create a laughter or smile in every Singaporean...

for real??

Ignorantly Useless

2006-08-31T23:33:00.000+08:00

ZuLdaniaL Listening to: Irwansyah n' Acha - My Heart

i seriously wished i have the powers to read people's mind...

to know what goes on behind that face... to know what dat person is thinking... only then do i know what would be my best next course of action... coz it surely feels damn useless when all u could do is wait for that particular answer...

i wished someone would just tell me straight in the face... well at least i do not have to go on the whole day pondering...

seriously, i dont really care if its bitter for me to accept the reality... neither do i really care how much the truth might hurt... at the end of it, its still better than being kept in the dark...

surprises dont usually work well for me...

i hate being ignorant... ignorant of things around me... ignorant of people and their minds... ignorant of feelings... i dont wanna be seen as could not be bothered...

i do bother... just dont keep me in the dark...

feels utterly useless...

i really wish... wish that my newborn fishes could tell me if they had sufficient, insufficient or too much food... if they are comfy with their tank.. or if they need anything else to help them survive in this constrained world...

fishes - talk to me, pls!!!!

Soul n' RnB

2006-08-30T23:57:00.000+08:00

ZuLdaniaL Listening to: Hady Mirza - Lagenda

my reflections on SI2 - Soul n' RnB nite...

come on Paul Twohill... u r really makin Joakim look good on this spectacular... u sounded bad throughout... dat would cause a big worry for tomorrow's results show...

and here's a note for Joakim himself..

i quote, u said, "maybe this might change the opinion of viewers at home..."

not at all in my case...

although u did surprise me at ur first song... but a single instance doesnt change my opinion of you for the past - god knows how many - spectaculars... u proved myself right at the second song.. phew!

let's just be very frank and straight...

I WANT JOAKIM OUT!

come on Joakim fans.. give him and the others a break... save Joakim from the embarassment, bitching, gossips and stop making those better singers, mathilda a perfect example, be voted out...

for once... open up ur bloody ears...

maybe its true what people all over town are saying.. if u have a good singing talent... u would definitely be kicked out of idol..

my bro-in-law mentioned today, "don't be surprised that Joakim makes it to the finals..."

if dat happens... im definitely gonna boycott Singapore Idol 3....

Ghostly Encounters

2006-08-29T21:15:00.000+08:00

ZuLdaniaL Listening to: Mawi - Kian

ghost stories never fail to be told every once in awhile..

yesterday at work.. we took time to share our experiences on that taboo topic...

sharing what we had encountered at our workplace or during the course of work..

some even shared what they had ever encountered before..

the good thing bout sharing is dat we find out what other religions belief in that topic and some even learn bout the different types of ghosts that are associated with the religion...

a colleague of mine relate to us one incident dat caused quite a discomfort to me.. probably bcoz i am one scared freak when it comes to that ghost... he's chinese by the way and has no idea what that thing is all about..

while he was riding back home with his girlfriend... he spotted something lying on the middle of road... the first look, he wasnt able to make out what it was.. onli at the second and third look, it was registered that the thing was a human body wrapped in what seems like a cloth... he asked his girlfriend what it was and apparently the girlfriend did not see anything at all!!!

spooky...

and onli yesterday, he was told and learned... what he saw was a pochong!

and another colleague relate his encounter whereby he saw a lady combing her hair along a corridor... all dressed in white.. her hair up to the knee length...

apparently... the thing was looking at him but he was unable to see the face...

dat happened when he was 9...

19 years later, he found out that what he saw was actually pontianak...

lucky he met us... we saved him from his ignorance all this while...

or did we??

coz after we told him what it was... he was in a total daze and unbelieve... his face all turned pale...

in life... ppl do encounter weird stories... all have something to share.. ive had my fair share of seeing and hearing of the unknown...

so whats ur ghost story?

Stupidity Memories

2006-08-26T09:33:00.000+08:00

ZuLdaniaL Listening to: Frankie J - Obsession

a meet up with close friends got us talking bout the stupid things dat happened during our childhood...

all those memories...

stupidity comes a long way in every persons life... do not deny... u were once the stupid person doing all sorts of stupid stuffs...

some when reflected back brings laughter, smile and happiness but on the other hand could also be one dat brings anger or sadness...

some of the practices we did during our childhood are maintained throughout the years... shows how impt it is to mould our future kids right from a very young age...

i had always thought there was this common practice that i developed during my childhood and is still maintained... was one dat is practiced in my own family...

unknowingly, my close friends does the same too...

here's the picture...

sometimes when we are in hurry to leave home esp when late... we tend to forget simple stuffs like.. our keys... our wallet etc...

being taught that it was not a good practice to go back home when uve just stepped out... we always took the easier way out...

call up home... ask anyone to throw that thing out of the window...

all covered in plastic bag... and if it was a light item, add a coin or two to create weight and off it goes out of the window.... very practical and convenient...

is dat a familiar sight in your life???

im not sure how many families actually practice this behaviour... i certainly do not see plastic bags being thrown out of the window every once in awhile...

there's a lot of items that can be achieved thru this manner...

a friend's example... alarming and disturbing thou... was when the mother requested an umbrella to be thrown...

"pokewak!?!? sounds like javelin to me... tercacak.. mati aru tahu!!!" my exact reaction to the story...

who says living in a high rise building aint convenient huh??

how i wished my helmet was one dat can be thrown out of the window too... coz i have dis disturbing habit of forgetting it whenever im out...

a perfect example of stupidity in an adult huh?

Seconds at a Junction

2006-08-25T17:09:00.000+08:00

ZuLdaniaL Listening to: James Ingram - Just Once

a ride back home turned out to be one dat i will never forget...

i thought i would turn angry if I ever bump into you out on the street... i thought i would flare up.. i thought i would lose all my senses.. i thought i would never be able to forgive you...

2 years back.. i was still hoping that our paths would cross each other.. somewhere soon after.. i prayed that we wouldnt... i thought it wouldnt be a pretty sight.. i thought we would end up in a heartbreaking conversation... i thought we would... but it didnt...

all those parting memories seemed so vague now... anger and rage dat i once felt seemed to have been lost through out the years...

i had no recollection of the hurt nor did i have a good recollection of you..

i do not deny... the year dat u left... i was like a lost soul... a part of me practically died... the soul was roming aimlessly... as much as i prayed for your return.. god never answered those prayers of mine...

a year passed... and somehow... instead of god.. devil showed me to a path.. i think i was too frustrated that all these while.. god never answered any of my prayers... i followed dat forbidden path.. and for another few more years.. i wasnt wat i had always imagined myself to be...

god didnt give up on me.. he showed to another path... i side tracked from the forbidden path and feel more at ease... and i'm still walking through that path and hopefully never to sidetrack back to that old path again..

i think its time i finally let everything out from my chest...for once...

for a very long time... i had decided to walk on and never turn back to the past.. i realise now.. i do not hold any grudges against you... not anymore..

i appreciate now... those times that u caused me undesirable pain and misery.... it actually thought me to handle human emotions.. and having the strengths that i never thought i would have.. and those times that u broke my heart into pieces.. it gave me a chance to learn more about life.. making mistakes and building it all over from scratch again...

in life.. we are given 3 options: needs, desire and obsession...

my only mistake was to love u as an obsession... dat is to love u like crazy.. like no other.. when in actual fact... i should be loving u as my needs...

i do not know wat lies ahead of me in my life.. or whom i shall meet along the journey... whatever happens then.. is just another learning process in my life dat i have to go thru...

the simple hi and smile that i gave when our paths crossed at the traffic light junction says all of the above.. and if you do happen to read this out on the internet.. i just want u to know.. dat IF ever our paths crossed again.. dat would be the day dat i look up to u as a fren who had thought and showed me a great deal of life experiences and lessons...

without u.. i wouldnt have made it to where i am today...

Revamped!

2006-08-24T23:48:00.000+08:00

ZuLdaniaL Listening to: Mawi - Kian

today is definitely an extremely long day for me... the day started as early as 0930hrs in the morning...

mind u... i actually took leave to complete the task that i had to accomplished by the end of the day... dat is so zul... taking leave for all these stuffs... like there is no off days to actually do it...

the day started with shopping... no.. not shopping for clothes but for stuffs for my big fish tank... as shown above... [ Tank sponsored by Najie as he has an extra tank... thanks bro... its fits nicely in that spot of my room... ]

dat took almost half of the day... didnt know dat setting up a big tank is huge task..

no rest... no rest for me.. i got to keep going as my hardworking mood only kicks in once in awhile...

i finished up the revamping of my room today... more furnitures are shifted ard... more dusts... more sweeping... more moping... all these just means more flu for me...

and i did it! i cleared everything that i had to...

my room is now officially revamped!

it definitely looks so much better now...

i have a few stuffs more to get thou before i would announce dat i am 100% satisfied...

here's a short list of wat i need...

1. A shelf mounted on the wall to display my 6 helmets....
2. A TV...
3. A DVD player....
4. A gourgeously looking mattress cover for my bed...
5. A nice curtain to match the mattress cover...
6. Paint - still undeciding on the color thou...

once all these are achieved... IM ALL GEARED UP FOR HARI RAYA!!!! yipeee!!!

puasa yer ker tidak... bluek~

2 Men vs Women

2006-08-23T01:03:00.000+08:00

ZuLdaniaL Listening to: Sheila Majid - Hitam Putih Kehidupan

im beginning not to understand women the slightest bit now!

SHE says she's not interested in him... but just layan...

layan nyer layan... kau jugak yang kekadang msg dia dulu...

and why do u always have to start a conversation with me in dis manner...

"u tahu si dia tu..."

"si dia tu tadi kol..."

"si dia tu tadi msg..."

si dia tu nie... si dia tu tu... ehhhhhh... diam lah!

kau nak tahu apa?? AKU NOT THE LEAST INTERESTED TO KNOW!

im already not on good terms with him... one more wire snap.. he and me would land up in the boxing ring... for all i care...

we practically cant see each other eyes to eyes and now u add salt by mentioning his name!

someone mentioned... maybe she is in a spot.... dont know who to choose...

wat spot??? for goodness sake.. there's no choosing... he's married and im not the least interested now...

in other words.. she lost me...

im just sick of hearing her name again~

Unknowing Fact

2006-08-22T15:21:00.000+08:00

ZuLdaniaL Listening to: Keith Martin - Because of You

there are a couple times... day in day out.. i get stupid questions or actions from friends.. strangers.. or anyone related... all this are almost unnecessary but day in day out.. they still keep on doing the same things...

im sure it happens in ur life too... unknowingly... let me just point 8 perfect examples to prove my point...

1. a stranger comes to u to ask for the time while tapping his finger on his wrist... wats that all about?? for goodness sake.. i know where my watch is.. u dont have to point it out to me.. do i actually tap on my crotch when i asked where is the toilet???

2. ur brother walks ard the entire house to look for that one bloody thing called the TV remote control... has he forgotten the fact that u can press on the buttons on the TV itself to get wat he wants... lazy?? i dont think so.. i think he is just too hardworking to be walking ard like dat searching...

3. in a movie with a fren... while u were concentrating on the screen... ur fren turned to u and said.. "did u see dat???"... in my heart.. i keep telling myself... NO!!! i paid a bloody S$9.50 to get into the cinema to see the damn floors!!! hell yeah.. i saw dat, idiot!

4. someone comes to u and his/her opening line... "can i ask u a question??"... now now.. did u leave me a choice in the first place?? get straight to the point and ask lar!

5. people say life is short... how true is dat??? life is the longest damn thing anyone could do.. can u think of the next longest thing u can do dats longer???

6. whilst waiting for the bus at the interchange and someone asks.. has the bus come yet??? if the bus came... would i be standing in the queue, dumbass??? obviously i would be on the bus and we wouldnt have had that conversation...

7. while at a hospital visiting someone at a ward.. a friend bumps into u.. and asks... what are u doing here??? gosh!! do i look sick to you?? or does my shirt looks like the one issued by the hospital???

and now lastly... my favourite coz it constantly happens between me and my friends...

8. whilst having supper at... lets say... Al-Azhar... a fren calls and asks... where are you??.. after mentioning where u r at.. he asks... wat are u doing there??? hmphhh.. lets see... i was listening to the song on radio and is dancing away to that song rite now... of coz im eating larr!!! wat do u think im doing???

im sure all of dat sounds very familiar to us... now was all dat necessary in the first place?? by doing dat, u have already wasted like a few seconds of yours and my life...

come on... time is precious, my friend!!!

Ol' Riddle

2006-08-21T21:57:00.000+08:00

ZuLdaniaL Listening to: Black Eyed Peas - My Humps

this was an old riddle which ive not heard for quite some time...

and i came across the same riddle when i was watching my DVD, 16 blocks...

here's the situation...

u r driving ur gorgeous looking two seater porsche along that long lonely stretch of dark road on a rainy day... the rain was pouring cats and dogs dat dae... thunder everywhere...

u passed by a bus stop... there stood three different types of people...

the first was ur best friend... someone who had stood by u in times of happiness.. sadness and all... someone who is very close to you...

the second was an old woman... she was having an asthma attack... and badly need to get to the hospital... if not... god knows if she would survive for dat night...

and the third was the gal of ur dreams... ur love at first sight... if u didnt have her for dat dae.. u will never be able to fall in love again...

given that situation... where ur car had only space for another person.. what would be ur next course of action???
.
.
.
.
.
.
think about it....
.
.
.
.
.
.
it was known dat the ideal solution was to hand over ur keys to ur best friend to drive the old woman to the hospital while u sit at the bus stop with that gal of ur dreams...

how smart....

and ur choice of answer pretty much tells a lot about ur personality...

so wat was ur choice of action??

Swim Buddy

ZuLdaniaL Listening to: Cinta 3 Segi

A new found friend...

A new found hobby...

Something that would need my additional attention amongst the many others that have already been in my life...

My new found pet... the Siamese Fighting Fish...

been having him for a few days now.. and its definitely something that ive always wanted to keep for a long time...

on those days where im bored and had nothing else to do.. i would just sit infront of its tank and just see it swim away...

sounds psychotic eh???

well aniwaes, there's signs now dat he is ready to mate....

wait up dude.. im looking for a perfect chick for u... u just swim away till dat time comes...

Uncle Toby

2006-08-19T01:23:00.000+08:00

ZuLdaniaL Listening to: Shane Ward - No Promises

Uncle Toby Bars...

i do take dat on every other day just to get that quick supplement of energy whenever im busy at work...

sometimes i can be too occupied with work dat i hardly have the time to even sit and have a decent meal... thanks to some people who calls the police for every small little petty things...

come on.. some things can settle urself rite????

but anyways... we were having a conversation at work bout uncle toby a few days back...

i cant remember wat the conversation was all about... but everyone apparently was into the conversation... at least i thot EVERYONE was...

unknowingly.. one of my colleagues wispered to another...

"who is uncle toby???"

dat got the whole group laughing once it spread ard..

he wispered to the wrong person in the first place... he wispered to a person who cant keep his mouth shut!

kontol tul.. dia pikiak uncle toby orang perr?? wake up your bloody idea lah bro...

like wat some of my colleagues say....

"yet another gong chibai!"

Different Kental Names

ZuLdaniaL Listening to: Rupee - Flaunt It

the past few days has been hectic...

firstly, the revamp of my room... dah nak dekat raya lah katakan...

getting new furnitures.. shifting it here and there...

mopping... sweeping... those dusts are just endless rite????

im like three quarter done... and doing everything at a rather slow pace.. simply coz my lil bro's and my schedule never seem to match each other...

kalau nie bilik aku sorang yg punyer... i think dah habis dah kerja aku...

earlier i was cleaning up my precious stuffs collected over the years.. my love letters... lots of em!! so kental... my pen pal letters from overseas.. god knows how gorgeous she's become now.. we stopped writing after awhile... not a writing kind of person... my bdae cards.. hari raya cards... cards for dis and dat... think they are just precious to be thrown away...

and i stumbled upon a hari raya kad... addressed to this person known as Rudi...

for a moment... i was lost... who the fuck is Rudi???

as i read further... now its coming back to me now... pokewak... i used to tell chicks my name was Rudi... kental tul!!!

how stupid the name sounds now...

reflecting back.. i used to give lots of different names to all these chicks... dat explains why some calls me on the streets with all the different names...

Rudi, Wan, Zulk, Danial.. are some of the names and dats all i can recall now...

menyampah siol.. nama nak glamour jek...

from now on... call me ZUL... dats my name... and im proud of it!

ZuLdaniaL Listening to: Natalie Imbruglia - Wishing I was there

Singapore Idol 2...

a competition based on popularity or substance???

the results to the recent spectacular show was definitely one dat i was shocked at... a contestant that deserved to go further than it is now... didnt have enough votes to stay in...

and another contestant which i was so hoping to be out... made it safe this time round...

now it really got me pondering... r the singaporeans actually opening their ears or simply only their eyes when they vote...

Mathilda?? Out???

dats crazy! she had the nicest sounding voice compared to the rest of the girls... where is the justice to the results heh?

if i was given a choice to vote someone out.. i would probably have voted Joaqim out long time ago... come on... he cant sing... and the only reason that he is still ard is probably due to his pretty boy look...

i think its time now... for me to get those votes in... before my fav idol gets kicked out of the way!

Supir?

2006-08-16T05:31:00.000+08:00

ZuLdaniaL Listening to: Paris Hilton - Stars are Blind

during those times when i was still actively involved in the clubbing scene... there was a particular part of it all that always constantly cause a disturbance to these set of eyes of mine...

everynight without fail.. whenever im out of the club to take fresh air and grab a fag... i would see at least one mat moto waiting outside...

these are boyfriends of one of the chicks in the club... waiting for the club to finish and send their gf back home...

i find it disturbing as i dont understand why these guys would not mind going to that extend.. come on.. face the fact.. ur girl is having fun inside.. and there u are waiting outside just to send her back,...

dah bodoh perr???

ingatkan driver perr???

i was 'conned' into being one of these guys earlier...

its a long story of miscommunications that i dont think i wanna elaborate further...

bottom line.. i was supposed to fetch this particular chick from a chalet...

dah aku jadik macam mamat mamat bodoh tu....

it was bad enough... but what happened there later sparked off that wire and i finally told that chick...

"IM LEAVING NOW! WITH OR WITHOUT U!"

here's wat happened...

a particular fren of hers, lets name him A, who is not on very good terms wit me... came over to me while i was outside the chalet... smokin as usual...

A: ko dtg sini... nak ambik si dek tu perr??

me: abih... lau tak uat per aku kat sini...

A: heh... pak supir, pak supir!!!

pokewak tul nie mamat!!! cari pasal lak ngan aku.. nasib baik lah nie chalet kau.... kalau tak... aku rasa ayam ayam pangang tu semua dah terbang lah siol!

brutally humiliated with his words.....

Job Discrimination

2006-08-15T22:28:00.000+08:00

ZuLdaniaL Listening to: Jah Cure - Longing For

walked past a mother who mentioned this to her son...

"boi boi... study hard k... if not u will end up like one of those policeman..."

while pointing to two police officers who were walking in the vicinity...

phew.. lucky i wasnt in uniform nor was i in any police related t shirt... if not... thats gonna really piss me off...

but yet again.. wats up with this mother...

apa salah ker jadik police??? KNN tul!

in the end... no matter how hard u study... if the job is not something which u like to do.. u would end up feeling shitty oso perr....

its the job satisfaction beb!!

nie job discrimination!!!

it seems to me that the mother was teaching her son to look down on others instead of teaching him something more humane such as...

HUMBLE!!

ZuLdaniaL Listening to: Westlife - Flying Without Wings

you all should know by now that im not an avid fan of news watching...

its a rare chance that i would stick myself rooted to the television screen watching some newscaster giving his her daily dosage of news...

i prefer hear say...

but yesterday night after a hard days work of revamping my whole room which have grown too sickening to my eyes... decided to spend a bit more time with my family instead..

and there they are watching the news...

and wat caught our eyes soon after was the hurricane that hit sentosa yesterday...

similar to that of tsunami.. these people at Sentosa never did learn their lesson do they???

seeing something like dat... and they still can stay behind to take video of the hurricane...

and wat if dat thing gets bigger... and comes straight to shore??? then they would all run??

isnt dat a bit too late???

i was actually quite shocked to see such a thing happening near our waters...

[ catch the video footage here ]

learnt something.. never to let my guts down...

and touch wood... should anything happens... just wanna say this before it do...

I LOVE U ALL VERY THE MUCHIE!!!!!

i SWEAR i am NEVER gonna go ghost hunting.... ANYMORE...

saw stuffs that totally freak me out.. stuffs and surroundings that normally i would see when im at those creepy haunted house...

stuffs that totally i could relate to...

managed to catch the sneak preview of the new Thai movie... "GHOST GAME"...

a must see for horror movie go-ers...

gives u the goose bumps rite from the start...

it potrays a reality tv show whereby contestants are put to the test... the one factor that many of us have but dont really potray... a perfect example.. myself..

FEAR...

a big word by itself...

the contestants are left in a dungeon where in older days were being used for killings and torturings...

a horror story isnt right if there is no ghosts...

so there is... a few of them...

and the ending part is definitely not meant to be said but for u to catch and find out...

now go... book those tix of urs.. in the movies from August 17...

Moon Talk

ZuLdaniaL Listening to: Daddy Yankee feat Pitbull - Toma

e' moon evolves ard e' earth

e' earth evolves ard e' moon

i sure do forget which is which... not a great fan of geography back in secondary school days... im a historian baby!!!

took a chance to stare at the open sky just one of the nights and discovered something which i had overlooked for the past 23 years...

at 8 at night... i happened to look in the sky and gazed... ohh there the moon... looking all sadist... there wasnt that much of brightness to it... seemed like it was crying or pale or something...

later that same night after midnight strikes.. at about 2am.. i gazed again...

eh... the moon is gone??

no... no... it moved... it was at another corner of the sky.. very far from where i first spotted it...

ah... dats a new discovery by this particular uninterested singaporean...

the moon does actually move eh?

speaking of which... look out for dis 27 Aug at about 0030hrs...

it would seem like there is 2 moons in the sky... one of it is actually mars which would appear close to earth.. a chance that comes by once in every 300 years...

if u feel that u gonna last till then.. u can give dis 27 Aug a pass...

The Enemies Supper

2006-08-09T11:57:00.000+08:00

ZuLdaniaL Listening to: Jason Mraz - Life is Wonderful

bet u cant see dat inside my shoes..

he was once a good fren...

once a close fren...

one whom i would consider a blood brother...

all dat was all once upon a time...

things took a change whereby a tragedy strikes us... and god damn... i wished i had not knew him in the first place...

he was a freaking backstabber who doesnt deserve to live on this face of the earth... i wonder how many knives of his are on my back...

i wished he never existed at all....

on his part... i knew he was too ashamed to see me ard after what he did...

came to a point where i tell myself.. why should i even bother in the first place...

a pair of close frens turned into enemies in a blink of an eye...

the fateful incident keeps flashing back each time we passed each other any other day on the streets...

two days back.. it was a total different thing...

we passed each other... and unlike other times where we would just say hi or smile... we stood having a long conversation just like any normal frens would after not meeting up for a long time...

exchanged numbers... but deep down i know that there is no way i am going to call him up any other day...

it seemed weird...

we went our different ways after the conversation... and i know dats all about it till the next time we pass each other again on the streets...

and so i thot...

when i was walking towards my bike... without realising... he was there too starting his bike which was parked directly beside mine...

me: alamak... nampak si berok nie lagik...

fren: eh siol... mana moto kau??

me: tu.. sebelah moto kau...

fren: so... mana kau mau pi lepas nie? balik kaper??

me: ermmm... mau pi baduk ah... lapar beb...

fren: aku pun... aku going to newton... jum ah...

me: ermmm.....

fren: jum ah.. bukan slalu kiter jumpa lepas tu pi makan... dah lama pun...

me: oh ok.. aku jumpa kau kat sana...

and off we went... the enemies sitting together at one table having late supper... pretending we dont have issues between us...

how ironic~

dats a Singapore 41st birthday story for you from a pure singaporean malay born guy...

Sorry n' Thanks

2006-08-07T21:47:00.000+08:00

ZuLdaniaL Listening to: Mariah Carey n' Whitney Houston - When You Believe

when was the last time u stood up for another??

standing up for the person for his own advantage but on the other hand a disadvantage to urself...

lets quote a personal life example of mine...

back when i was still a kid... when i was 5 or 6... my aunt had an extra tix for the NDP Parade...

i was a kid... hell yeah i wanted so much the tix and go wit my aunt's family...

but my lil bro who was probably 3 or 4 during that time... cried coz he was unable to go...

being the thoughtful elder bro... i gave up my spot and made way for him...

and it was not until when i was 17... dat i was able to grab hold of the tix and watch it live with my friends...

an experience dat was definitely worth remembering...

and speaking of which, it reminded me of another incident...

back when cable cars was a top hit... probably somewhere during that time too... a similar situation came about between me and my lil bro...

i again forsake my spot and made way for him... and ended up having to see his delightful face on that cable car... waving goodbye as it moves off...

dat was enough to make me happy myself...

and up till this current moment... i have no freaking idea wats a ride on a cable car is like...

dont get me wrong... im not trying to bring up the past and sound unsincere bout doing this small bits in my life... but im just putting a point on what im going to say next...

its sweet and all dat as a kid i did these small gestures in life just to see someone happy...

and i hardly ever recall that anyone ever did the same for me...

but today.. i was touched by an angel...

a person stood up for me... similar to the instances quoted... except not materialisticly...

that person stood up for me on my tight involvement at work dat i hardly had a decent off day for myself... the off day dat i got was for me to have my sleep and the next best thing... im back at work...

the person fought hard... giving other possible solutions... just so dat i could have a decent off for myself...

it didnt come out right and out of hand that the person landed up in a sticky situation with the higher management...

the person, surprisingly wasnt someone dat i was very close to....

and after it all.. nothing was mentioned to me.. i was not aware of it all right from the start...

and i just happened to hear it from someone else who happened to know the reality...

now dats the sweetest sacrifice a person had done so far...

sorry that it landed u up in such a mess...

but even thou it didnt come out right... and there was nothing much else u could do bout it... im happy just to know that u had already tried your best to help me out...

sorry once again and thanks for the kind gesture...

i appreciate dat....

Dreams come Alive

2006-08-06T22:28:00.000+08:00

ZuLdaniaL Listening to: Teriyaki Boyz - Tokyo Drift

when i was a kid, i had fantasized the miracle works of a TV...

how wonderful it would be if my favourite TV show that is running on the TV set could be paused... rewind... forwarded without having to make use of the VCR tapes...

those are just my dreams as a kid...

but when dreams became reality... that some funky shit!

all those that i had ever dreamt possible are now just simply possible... brought possible by SCV Smart TV...

now i can pause my favourite shows while i go relieve myself in the toilet... answer a very important phone call... or get out of hm awhile to buy my ciggies...

i can do all dat... how cool!!!

and if i do forget to pause my show... its ok.. i wouldnt miss out on anything actually... i can rewind to where i left off and continue it from there...

reality check... me and my mum have different taste in the shows we want to catch... who doesnt rite??? but no more fighting over channels with the smart TV...

my mum can catch watever show she wants and i can have mine recorded in the background...

that is some very cool shit...

i like it... i like it.. i like it...

dis is definitely going to be one of the items on my wishlist...

dats a hint for all since my bdae is coming...

oh come on.. its only about S$500/-...

Life Experiences

2006-08-05T00:12:00.000+08:00

ZuLdaniaL Listening to: Melly Goleslow n' Kris Dayanti - Cinta

"im made in UK.."

"im made in USA..."

the kind of conversations they were having at management level during a recent meeting that i had.. the big shots...

how kerek they were...

and i only got a thing to say bout myself... less proudly...

"im made in temasek..."

it surely feels damn small when u r there... u r nothing... seriously... bak kata pepatah mak bapak ku... siapa lah aku ni kan??

but often in that situation.. we tend to forget the reality...

in reality... its not about which school u go to...

"the best school is life experience itself" - Rudi frm Tentang Dia

caught 'Tentang Dia' earlier at Suria... sure a great movie dats worth to sit and actually understand from...

lets just get back to what ive been meaning to say..

u dont learn the essentials of living through your life in textbooks... they dont give procedures and steps on how to lead a better life...

textbooks are just papers dat determines ur standard in education... and the outcome of it are just merely papers again that others judge u by...

which obviously i dont agree upon...

to me wat matter most is the experiences dat u encounter from time to time... its the learning stage of overcoming it... its the process of solving the problems... dats learning...

and everyday in life... u learn something new... dats school...

experiences in life will make us a better person with each passing day...

"if tomorrow never comes and today is the only day... what u gonna do?" - Rudi

never put something that u have to do till tomorrow... coz we might just never know if u r entitled for that day...

and with each passing day... take each step as a learning process to becoming a better person...

talking bout becoming a better person... there are just simply too many factors that we have to weigh upon... let me just touch on one...

TRUST...

a heavy word by itself....

"its ok if u dont trust anyone. but if u dont trust the one dat cares a lot about you... dats wrong. dats betrayal. and it hurts a lot." - Rudi

trust isnt something that comes naturally... it comes with time.. with each passing day...

but wen one doesnt trust the person who cares bout him a lot.. dats trouble... its the risk in life dat u have to take to trust dat someone... and of coz on the receiving end.. its their job to make sure that trust is not broken...

coz once broken... its like a glass shattered in many pieces... almost impossible to be glued together again...

there are just too many things in life dat one can learn from... and stories from other peoples life are just stories dat helps us by to think from time to time...

but yet again.. no two stories of life are ever the same...

its how u lead ur life.. how u want it to be...

and take each step in life as a learning process... in becoming a better person...

"Cuma ada dua perkara besar dalam hidup - cinta dan kematian. Apabila kita bersedia menghadapi keduanya, kita telah sedia menghadapi apa saja." - Rudi

Not Being 'Kerek'

2006-08-03T23:48:00.000+08:00

ZuLdaniaL Listening to: Imran Ajmain - Sudah tu Sudah

"kerek sei!..."

the usual comment i would get from time to time upon myself...

a perfect example to a situation that i would get such a comment was when i dont acknowledge an old familiar face out in public...

i have my own defence to that...

sometimes im just in a hurry... or wat if the person doesnt recognise me!! malu sei!!!

i chose the easiest way out... ignore... pretend busy... pretend to look elsewhere... pretend to sleep... pretend to be engrossed in a conversation on the phone... just pretend...

but recently, i didnt do dat.. surprisingly...

but in the end paiseh sendiri beb!!!

so, saw a familiar face....

he saw me too... but both kept looking at each other but none made the first conversation...

a longer glance... i was confident that he was a fren from poly times...

so very confident...

me: hey... stanley rite??

old fren: eh hi... zul rite??? blah blah blah...

so we had an exchange of conversation bout whats up with our life.... and exchange phone numbers and all... but the next conversation we gonna have totally got me dumbfounded...

old fren: so... i saw vernon just a few days back ard here oso...

me: ?????

sejak bila lak ada budak nama vernon dlm skolah aku pulak nie!!!!!

after a while it den struck me.... he's not a poly mate like i thot... he was an ex colleague back when i was still working part time in a restaurant!!!

and the next question in my head... is his name stanley??? no!!! definitely not!~

and obviously... up till now... i cant figure out what is his name!!!

confident sgt lah aku nie!!!

"Great" August

2006-08-01T14:05:00.000+08:00

ZuLdaniaL Listening to: Simple Plan - Addicted

wat a "fabulous" way to start of my off day...

two "great" incidences to sum it all...

the first....

stranger: not trying to sound rude... but i do pay for your salary!!

me: cheh! sorry sir, i did pay my tax as well...

stranger: yeah... but u do owe it all to the people residing at the private housing... we do pay lots more in case u didnt notice...

wat a humiliation!!! i couldnt take it for sure... it was either i walk away or continue on blabbering which would definitely land up to something unpleasant...

i chose the first and walked off!

but the humiliation was definitely one that aches badly to the ego...

arghhh fuck lah... u pay my salary??? no wonder im paid so little!

dat wasnt enuf for the day...

second...

imagine being in a situation where u already know that u r in a wrong... and there's no point reasoning things out coz either way... u r in the wrong in the first place...

being a gentleman... stood up for wat u did wrong...

dats enough humiliation coz everyone already apparently knew...

but dat aint enough for u huh???

u had to point out that silly mistake openly infront of other in a sarcasm way...

bitch!

and every single comment dat are closely related to my silly mistake by another who wasnt aware of the situation... u had to make an obvious turn to look at me...

bitch betul!

dah lah.. aku dah buat mistake... i said sorry... apa lagik kau nak???

chibai punyer betina!

wat a "great" way to start the August...

Happy Month of August to me!

Cheers~

Handphone Driving

2006-07-31T17:51:00.000+08:00

ZuLdaniaL Listening to: Beyonce n' Sean Paul - Baby Boy

Baby boy you stay on my mind
fulfill my fantasies
I think about you all the time
I see you in my dreams

Baby boy not a day goes by
without my fantasies
I think about you all the time
I see you in my dreams

baby boy by beyonce and sean paul definitely left a deep memory in my life..

my first accident when i was driving a car was when i was trying to answer a call on the handphone... and the song on my handphone ringtone was dis particular song...

i wouldnt forget this tune... not for my entire life...

although it was just a minor accident... it definitely got me freaked out!

there... havent traffic police warned us enough on the dangerousness of phone driving... some people never do take advises do they...

ive learnt my lesson... no more phone driving for me... not unless i have my earpiece with me...

at least my accident doesnt sound dat stupid...

have a fren who got involved in an accident coz he was fooling ard with a chick in the car... they were poking each other in the car...

now dats an even stupid lesson to learn from...

now remember ppl the two lessons... 1) no handphone driving and 2) dont play ard with ur chick in the car!

for the time being... enjoy the vidz... [ click here ]

With You I Never Wonder

2006-07-30T00:21:00.000+08:00

ZuLdaniaL Listening to: Firehouse - Love of a Lifetime

just wanna share dis wit you...

I guess the time was right for us to say
We'd take our time and live our lives together day by day
We'll make a wish and send it on a prayer
We know our dreams can all come true
With love that we can share

With you I never wonder - Will you be there for me
With you I never wonder - Youre the right one for me

Chorus:
I finally found the love of a lifetime
A love to last my whole life through
I finally found the love of a lifetime
Forever in my heart,
I finally found the love of a lifetime

With every kiss our love is like brand-new
And every star up in the sky was made for me and you
Still we both know that the road is long
We know that we will be together
Because our love is strong

reminiscing those times when i was still young... the first song dat i heard and pretended to be playing on my imaginary drums was one dat was from firehouse...

ok laugh... boys will be boys.. u girls have ur imaginary wedding.. we have our imaginary drums!

i was influenced with firehouse when my sis's ex-bf introduced me to their music...

it got me interested too much i guess and dat was the first cd dat i bought... mind u... cd was just about to get famous during that period of time...

i was like wat?? 13 or 14??? and i actually saved up just to get me those... how deeply into their songs was i??

phew!! luckily it wasnt some boyband stuffs...

if it is.. i dont think it'll make a very great blog entry in the first place...

and back during those days... an admirer got to know i liked firehouse and bought me the most recent album and secretly placed it in my bag with a lil note during recess time...

oh how sweet rite?! - "monkey love"

was glad i managed to see their video on you tube earlier... it felt damn good listening to it all over again...

speaking of which... where the fuck are my cd collections by firehouse!!!

sucks!

i lost em!

Hooker Story

2006-07-28T23:32:00.000+08:00

ZuLdaniaL Listening to: Whitney n' Debrah - Same Script Different Cast

all these nite shifts over the years have definitely lets me see much more than out of the norm...

for past few years... there are several familiar faces dat ive seen...

and this particular figure dat gonna come about in this entry certainly left an impact in my life...

she is a hooker... a low class hooker..

lets define some facts...

she is unpretty... she is old... she is those "cannot make it" type of hooker.. she is so not any men's taste... u get the picture rite?

and day in day out... i would see her leaving where i see her frequently with no men with her... she would leave like any normal day... alone... and no business...

and day in day out.. i keep telling myself.. my god why???

if she is not gonna get any business.. why does she still keep coming back...

but all dat changed...

not one... but TWO gorgeously looking guys changed all that fact...

i saw her getting in a cab with both of them...

dat definitely got me and my partner shocked and dumbfounded!

now now... she got hooked??? u must be kidding... and 2 gorgeously handsome guys who can posed off as a HOT PLAYBOY in a normal world hooked off wit her...

they didnt choose the prettiest among the many.. but chose her!!!

my god why???

dat got me into serious pondering...

and the only logical reason i cant understand why is dat they are really drunk...

conversation between me and the 2 guys prior to that proved it to be true...

now dis is some serious shit guys!!!

never! never! never get urself drunk dat way... u r definitely gonna regret wat u see the next morning... apart from the serious hangover that u r getting!

Smart Kid

ZuLdaniaL Listening to: Rupee - Flaunt It

met the smartest 9 yr old kid ever...

he is street smart... seriously... believe me.. he can stay alive in town all by himself...

reflecting back... when i was 9 years old.. there are lots of things dat i dont picture myself doing but dis kid has done it...

travelling ard singapore alone...

did u do it when u were 9?

he can name me places dat i dont picture i would go at dat age...

he's been to mustafa centre... alone!

he took busses, trains... alone!

he was at orchard... alone!!!

i wouldnt say he is a loser for going out alone... obviously... how many of his peers are allowed to go out by themselves at dat age?? not many of coz!

at one point... my ego was brutally hurt by dis kids words..

asked him which school he is from.. simply coz i was amazed by how smart he is..

he name me dis school which ive never heard before actually...

not trying to sound dat stupid.. i asked him where is dat school located at...

and his answer, "abg tahu bedok??? kembangan??? daerah situ ah..."

kimek nie budak... giler kaper aku tak tahu tempat tempat tu!!!!

Eagle-istic

2006-07-23T05:06:00.000+08:00

ZuLdaniaL Listening to: Newboys - Masih Ada Cinta

not a common sight...

seriously..

dis thought triggered when i watched the movie, "Nacho Libre ", earlier... there was a scene and it flashed back what i saw a few days ago...

a couple of days back, i saw an eagle flew right high up in the sky while i was riding...

actually stopped my bike at the side to just see this spectacular bird fly his way thru the open sky...

how captivating...

and i thot to myself... how free his life is...

he gets to see things from right high up... he has the entire sky to himself... he is one whom others fear...

a kind of respect i guess dat is given to him... and some believe dat it is a sacred animal...

i so want to be like him...

carefree, an open mind and appeared majestic by others...

how cool can dat be??

Boohoo...

ZuLdaniaL Listening to: Siti Nurhaliza - Biarlah Rahsia

my sis was feeding my lil nephew his milk when i walked in...

as usual... i would give him the wink and the "chuck" sound using my tongue...

dat obviously caught his attention... it occurs everytime...

as per usual, he would chuckle... and for some unknown reason, the next thing happened... he decided to stop drinking his milk!!

sis: "tadi uncle tak der, danish minum milk... uncle datang jer tak nak minum???"

me: "finish ur milk! if not uncle will not be playing with u..."

and the next thing happened... he cried non stop...

darn! i made him cry!

do they actually understand what adults are talking about???

gets me pondering now...

overslept...

and as for me... when im on the morning shift...

but ever imagined having to give that genuine excuse when one is working on nite shift...

dat just simply means i have to speed my way thru to work.....

slamat ah kau, beruk!!!

Above Self

2006-07-18T16:42:00.000+08:00

ZuLdaniaL Listening to: Adam - Jatuh

is dat what they call...

love???

wen everything doesnt matters to you... when u dont bother if life wont be as great as you want for your ownself... as long as u could see ur love ones happy and have a life that is even greater than they could imagine...

when everything is at ur own disadvantage... and yet u still give what u can just so dat ur other half gets the vice versa??

u dont care how much pain or salt u have to endure... just so the other could get the sweetest parts of life...

when the world no longer evolves ard u... but the other...

coz at the end of it... if ur loved ones is happy.. u'll be just as happy urself...

is dat wat they call love??

been there.. done dat...

Lirik: Adam - Jatuh

Di manakah pemandangan terindah di dunia?
Puas ku cari setelah jauh melangkah
Hingga takdir menyuluh ke arah mu
Ku temu pemandangan itu terlakar di wajahmu

Dengan setiap renungan
Terpesona ku rasakan
Dengan setiap belaianmu hati makin tersentuh

Oh kasih, oh kasih
Ku berterima kasih
Padamu kerana menyempurnai hidupku

Dan sakit dah sungguh aku asyik terjatuh
Jatuh cinta dengan kamu

Dalam berjuta-jutaan lagu
Tiada satupun dapat menenteramkan kalbu
Melainkan bila kau menyebut
Ke telinga bahawa kau juga sayang padaku

Dengan setiap lafaz kata
Harapan makin menyinar
Untuk kita bersama membina hidup bahagia

Oh kasih, oh kasih
Ku berterima kasih
Padamu kerana menyempurnai hidupku

Dan sakit dah sungguh aku asyik terjatuh
Jatuh cinta dengan kamu

Ku rasa setuah-tuah manusia
Nikmati hidup dengan wanita yang ku cinta

First Raw Oyster

2006-07-17T23:58:00.000+08:00

ZuLdaniaL Listening to: Jessica Simpson - With You

now dats where i had my dinner for todae...

for the first time in my god damn life... i ate fresh raw oysters...

bluek!

dats the experience for my first bite on that exotic seafood...

the tabasco sauce which i added after dat helps a lot thou...

now here's some lil unknown facts bout the stuff i ate todae..

Oysters - Male or Female??

there is no way we can judge their sex by looking at their shells... but like other animals.. they do have their own sexes... and surprisingly, they can actually change sex more than one time in their life span... damn!! they are better than transvestite! but who cares actually bout their sexes... most of the time we just eat it and not bother at all...

What is that tiny crab we see in an oyster?

a species of crab (Pinnotheres ostreum) that has evolved to live harmoniously inside an oyster's shell.... now dats its interesting how they evolved... the wonders of god...

How do pearls end up inside of oysters?

these pearls are produced when foreign material are stucked in their shell.... oysters responds to the irritation by producing nacre which is a combination of calcium and protein... this nacre coats the foreign material and over time produces a pearl.... and after which used by mankind as a jewellery accessories... a waste product produced by oysters... how interesting since i got to know bout this..

The "R" Myth

ppl back then says that oysters should be eaten only in months with "r" in them... so months from september to april would be perfectly fine.. the rational to this is dat months that occur during warm weather may have started in the days when oysters where shipped without adequate refrigeration and could spoil.... but with the technology man has developed over years.. we can enjoy oysters any time of the year!

Oysters and Their Nutritional Value

Oysters are known to be delicious... ermmm.. yeah rite.. i cant actually agree on that...

they're also one of the most nutritionally well balanced of foods, containing protein, carbohydrates and lipids.... The National Heart and Lung Institute suggest oysters as an ideal food for inclusion in low-cholesterol diets.... four or five medium size oysters supply the recommended daily allowance of iron, copper, iodine, magnesium, calcium, zinc, manganese and phosphorus....

now dats crazy... i have a bit of difficulty eating just one!

Health Tip

Because raw foods including oysters may carry bacteria, persons with chronic liver disease, impaired immune systems or cancer should avoid eating raw oysters.

Hear Say

i dont know how much is dis true.. but oysters are known to be good for man... sexually... if u know what i mean...

Cool but Uncool

2006-07-16T13:18:00.000+08:00

ZuLdaniaL Listening to: Destiny Child - Lose My Breath

earlier today i saw a lady wet her pants... its a lady.. full grown chick!

yeah yeah... altogether now... OH MY GAWD!!!!

she practically pee in her pants..

gosh... just picture the amount of humiliation she has to go thru...

on a lighter note... she might have been terrified of something and it resulted to dat...

on a heavier note.. she could have consumed ketamine and had difficulty controlling her bloody bladder...

now dat humiliation would teach her lesson if she really consumed that...

wat do u call it?? cool????

yeah yeah... u claim it to be cool wen u take ketamine... u r in a world of ur own...

"yahoooo!!!" you say...

u go blabbering to those geek frens of urs... u had something that they would even dare to start with...

come on.. look now... at the end of the day... ur geek frens are cooler by not consuming it...

they know when to pee!! how cool is dat!!!

now peeps... stay out of drugs!

u sure dont want dis similar incident to happen to u...

What a Cliche'?

2006-07-15T14:16:00.000+08:00

ZuLdaniaL Listening to: Shakira - Objection

now... now... dis is some serious shit...

ive been spending too much time on my DVD player...

day in day out... every single bit of my free time i would spend it infront of this screen... watching "FRIENDS"...

completed 3 full seasons as of now...

my family has been calling me - FRIENDS geek..

"you spend too much time on those jokers! get out! meet people from the real world!"

like i dont know as yet... i would.. rite after i finish all the 8 seasons...

now i have some serious problem... i think all those over work dat my player has been going thru' has tired 'him' out...

now 'he' is protesting!

'he' refused to open itself up for another DVD to be inserted in...

think gonna let him have a rest for now...

aniwae one question... wat is a cliche'?

got dat word from one of the episodes of FRIENDS...

its not dat ive never heard it before... but i just dont know when its appropriate to use...

checked the magical bible called the dictionary and it explains...

Cliche'

1. A trite or overused expression or idea: "Even while the phrase was degenerating to cliche' in ordinary public use... scholars were giving it increasing attention" (Anthony Brandt).
2. A person or character whose behavior is predictable or superficial: "There is a young explorer... who turns out not to be quite the cliche expected" (John Crowley).

i still dont get it... anione confident enuf to help this vocabulary deprived guy?

ZuLdaniaL Listening to: Babyface - When Can I See You Again

news of my grandma being very sick came earlier dis morning after i gotten ready to go to work..

Paranoid - Parents Instinct?

2006-07-12T20:04:00.000+08:00

ZuLdaniaL Listening to: Taylor Hicks - Do I Make you Proud

parental control...

when a couple is blessed with an offspring... they would always want the best for the kid...

they would not allow dat... not allow dis... deemed this to be good.. deemed that to be better... and all this just so dat they could see that lil loved one of theirs getting the best out of life...

they would be extra paranoid over small little stuffs...

often it seems to me like they wanna be in control of that lil one's life 24/7...

macam tak leh lepas gitu.. mata asyik nak kena tengok jek apa si kecik tu buat...

it freaks me out sometimes thinking bout the fact that one day... i would be going thru that phase in my life... thou god knows when...

would i be able to give that 24/7 attention like wat other parents are giving to their kids?

would i be a good dad?

recently, i saw myself getting freaked out just like a parent would...

i call it... uncle and nephew r'ship control...

my lil bro was taking care of that lil nephew of mine... while i was ironing my shirt...

and at one instance.. i realised that my lil bro went to the kitchen leaving that lil nephew of mine alone in the room....

an uncle's instinct... i decided to just stretch my body a lil more to check wat my lil nephew was doing in the room...

paranoid??? im thankful that i am!

to my horror... i saw him rolling on the bed and he was inches away from the edge...

there wasnt much thinking dat needs to be done...

left all dat i was doing and rushed to save that lil one...

time was on my side... he was just inches away... just another roll and he would be off the edge...

damn u lil bro...

im so telling sis bout dis... u definitely cant be left alone wit the lil nephew...

and yeah... i am so close to burning a hole in my favourite tshirt... when i left wat i was doing to save dat small one...

god damn it.. cant u be more careful???

darn... i sound like a dad... all paranoid!

ZuLdaniaL Listening to: Peter Pan - Bintang di Syurga

bukan stakat manis di bibir sahaja...

telah ku lafazkan kata hati,
rasa jiwa,
dan seni fikiran setiap hari....

telah ku tunjukkan padamu,
setiap waktu,
cintaku hanyalah untukmu....

walaupun jauh dimata,
hatiku,
tetap untukmu...

jgn kau sesekali,
menduakan cintaku,
atau meraguiku...

tubuhku,
hatiku,
dan semuanya untuk mu....

ku rasa,
bagaikan ku,
di alam mimpi....

sungguh payah tuk percaya,
bahwa ku telah bertemu,
dgn insan yg mencintaiku....

insan yang,
mencintaiku,
sebanyak ku mencintainya...

kisah cinta yang sebegini,
ku ingatkan hanya akan berlaku,
di drama atau telemovie....

wahai tuhanku,
teruskan lah buaikan ku,
di alam mimpi ini...

kerna ku tak sanggup,
sungguh ku tak sanggup... berpisah,
dengan nyer...

ku mahu terus hidup di alam mimpi.......

another point of history in the making...

another date in my life...

a close friend of 10 years got engaged today...

how time flies... i knew her back in early teens... and 10 years laster which just feels like 10 weeks apart... she's engaged..

one year later from now... she'll be making another history... by settling down with that man of her choice...

and who knows a year later from then.. she'll be carrying her lil ones in her arms...

just how fast all those events will come by in my life...

things went smoothly for her todae...

a few last minutes helping hand on my part does make a difference out of the whole event...

alhamdulillah....

as for now... wishing her all the bestest of luck and warm wishes... from her group of friends... ppl who stood by her in times of need and happiness...

Comes July e 1st

2006-07-01T04:21:00.000+08:00

ZuLdaniaL Listening to: Fuad Rahman n' Mira - Bila Rindu

dats definitely a date dat showcases the death of smokers in Singapore...

today marks the date whereby smoking is ban at food outlets like hawker centres, coffeshops, cafes and fast food outlets...

damn!

it started initially with the ban of smoking at bus stops... taxi stands... interchanges...

dat was still alright given the fact that i dont smoke at these areas.. i take my delicious fags at carparks!

but with the new ban imposed.. dats definitely gonna cause a great problem for myself...

most of my time... late nights... consist of late night supper with a chit chat session on the tables of food outlets all ard Singapore...

with this ban imposed today... there's gonna be a drastic change in my lifestyle perhaps...

ta pao and eat elsewhere?? possible...

there goes my al-azhar... my haji karim... my lao pa sat... my newton... i will definitely not stay long in these areas with this new ban...

but i heard they are allowing 20 percent of the outdoor seating for smoking area... gosh... i think smokers at these areas consist more than that percentage... does dis means we would see smokers fighting for seatings...

imagine this...

at a food outlet... lets say a big one... and u can only find people seating cluttered at one area... and the other areas... vacant!

it would definitely be a funny sight... sounds to me like these people are cluttered there watching world cup...

lets see if this new ban is working for me... who knows i might just reduce my tobacco intake and eventually quit!

on second thoughts... neh... never gonna happen!

and by the way... im halfway correct to my predictions... Germany will meet Italy in the semis... now lets see if England will meet Brazil to justify how masin my mulut can be...

Kisah Selepas MC

2006-06-28T22:48:00.000+08:00

ZuLdaniaL Listening to: Damasutra - Seribu Bayangan

fuiyoh... dah naik lemak aku 6 hari MC...

tadi nak patah alik kerja... bercinta siot!!!

angun pagi2 dah menjadi sebuah problem yg begitu besar... tetap kenalah drag diri aku nie bangun dari katil aku yg comfortable nak mampus tu....

a 12 hour shift pun menjadi problem sikit skarg... mata nie tak tahan... asyik mengantuk jek....

mungkin pasal aku pi tgk Brazil match kot... nasib baik tak tgk France lawan Spain... kalau tengok.. aku rasa confirm lah tak angun terus....

aniway, side track sikit... BRAZIL menang dok!!! 3-0!! power dah... defence si Ghana rabak seh... tiga tiga goal Brazil dpt past thru the defense with an open field for a goal... kimek!!! but it could be 3-1 thou... Brazil nyer goalie nyer kaki just happens to have his foot there to prevent the goal from happening.. speaking of luck!

ok.. back to the topic... nie aku ada suatu cerita kekek yg jadi tadi... kekek sikit... mangkuk sikit pun ada...

was in the lift with the boys... skali masa nak turun ker ground floor.. the lift stop lah at one of the floors...

bila pintu tu bukak jerr.. ada lah satu pompuan nie tercegak kat pintu tu...

courtesy sake lah kan... kiter semua undur ke blakang sikit... kirakan nak jadi gentleman lah... make way for the lady...

pintu pun tutup lah...

lepas tu.. aku tak tahu lah apasal lah kan.. si serunding kawan aku satu tu.. pi ketawa... tak tahu lah apa yg dia gelak kan pun...

skali tu pompuan dlm lift bersuara lah...

"something's funny???"

tone dia mcm tak puas ati larrr...

member aku tu pun terus senyap lah...

dlm hati aku... kimek... nie pompuan... skali aku kasi dia tendangan maut baru dia tahu... step kiter ketawa kat dia jek... kalau jambu tak per... tak jambu nak kerek lak tu....

member aku pun satu... apsal kau pi ketawa lah gengs!!! salah timing bro....

mana aku nak letak muka aku!!!!

Just My Luck

2006-06-27T05:34:00.000+08:00

ZuLdaniaL Listening to: Dygta feat Ira - Cintamu

i dont get it...

i either get myself involved with people who r already attached... or engaged...

or better still involved with people who have two guys going after her... and she's clueless with who she wants to be with...

its a headache seriously... and i dont usually want to land myself up in such a mess...

and if i do get a nice girl with no such complications... i become the biggest jerk ever in their life...

i guess its karma... evil begets evil... and i have my ownself to blame on for such a mess...

im thankful enough that she confessed that she is confused between two.. well at least honesty is always the best in all situations...

but when THE MUM had gotten involved in the matter... making noise at her for going out with me on every other nites and with another on those days im not with her...

hey.... things got to stop...

well... i didnt wanna be the one to say... hey look here.. u got to choose one... coz im pretty sure she's wise enough to know dat for a fact...

and of coz i dont wanna be the one to say.. u go ahead with the other... and just vanish away from her life like wat i did with the one before dis... coz thats almost impossible...

given the fact that i am a fren of her elder sister... hw can one just cuts away all means of contacts with the person when u r still befriending the sis???

aint possible rite?

wat choice do i have anyway... but to leave with saying.. call me whenever u need me... coz i dont want to be hanging on something that almost unsure... i dont want history to repeat itself...

wat a mess...

just my luck!

speaking of which... i watched Just My Luck earlier... i thot it'll be a boring romantic movie meant for girls... but seriously.. its a gd show... with touches of humour...

i guess its the fact that lindsay lohan acted in that show... and dats why it got my eyes glued to the screen... u should know wat i mean.. (",)

anyway, its interesting to know how luck can be passed thru kissing... and its even more interesting to see how one's luck can go so bad...

expect the unimaginable...

id recommend dis for the time being while we wait for superman to be aired in the cinema soon....

here's a lil somthing bout world cup... my predictions.. and i hope it'll be right... in the semis, Germany will meet Italy... and England will meet Brazil...

kiter tgk eh kalau mulut aku masin...

Re-Showdown Italy '90

2006-06-25T05:45:00.000+08:00

ZuLdaniaL Listening to: Chenelle - Teach Me How to Dance

i know dis is like the second post for today... but just cant resist not to... im satisfied to see who gets into the quarters of WC...

Argentina vs Mexico - it was a definitely a match worth watching...

Mexico was in his top most form and i definitely expected more from Argentina despite what was showcased...

barely 6 mins into the match... Mexico took its lead for the match... and about 4 mins later... Mexico paved way for history to be made in Germany 2006... by scoring an own goal for Argentina...

at the end of 90 mins.... despite both teams playing hard at attacking and defencing... the scores still lies at 1-1... thus paving way for history to be made in this year's FIFA World Cup... the first extra time being played in a match...

during the extra time... Argentina scored the most magnificient goal that ive ever seen... a prefect spot of scoring after receiving a ball on his chest and giving a left footed volley straight into the goal post.... simply perfect...

Argentina would be meeting Germany in the quarters... a re-showdown of finals of Italy '90... after winning the match earlier by 2-1...

will Germany emerged victory against Argentina like wat happened in Italy??

we shall just see... now dats one hell of a match dat i would definitely not wanna miss...

power dok......

My WC Fever Starts

ZuLdaniaL Listening to: Imran Ajmain - Sudah tu Sudah

kan mulut aku masin...

aku dah ckp dah... germany mesti menang... kasi 2 goal lah sama dia...

i should have betted... i should have...

the entire family was in... just to get ourselves seated infront of the television to catch Germany thrashing Sweden...

i am not an avid soccer fan.. and if u do catch me watching it... there's probably a good reason behind it...

and today was due to the fact that i dont wanna miss out the first match that determines the first team to get into the quarter finals...

like i predicted... a 2-0 victory for Germany over at Berlin earlier....

Sweden main pun mcm konek... tak all out.. tak der fight.. mendak siol tgk dorang pass bola gitu mcm...

an opportunity where they could have possibly scored a goal during the penalty kick.. they wasted the whole opportunity by whacking the ball up so high... bodoh sak...

goodbye Sweden... U R OUT!

i predict Germany will meet Argentina in the quarters... dat is if Argentina gets to thrash Mexico lah later... fuiyoh... if dat happens... the quarters match mesti fight giler nyer... we will see a rematch for finals of Italy '90!!!

but nevertheless... so hoping to see Brazil in the finals...

we just got to wait for dat...

and come home to the fact that my lil bro wakes up.. get ready to get to work.. and left his bed unmade!

the point is she doesnt complains...

ah watever lah kan... gonna continue my beauty sleep on his bed!! at least i got a reason to make the bed later....

No More Wisdom

2006-06-21T04:44:00.000+08:00

ZuLdaniaL Listening to: Ungu - Demi Waktu

i could still remember those days when i was still younger... so much younger...

whilst sitting in the classroom... and out of nowhere.. a student came knocking on the door with clip board file... looking for a few students dat was listed on it...

my name was called...

it was a point of no return... im meeting the dentist!...

i have never liked going to one... i could not take the smell of one... and the doctor wasnt at all gentle... pricking my tooth here and there...

damn....

and these memories lasted till now...

yesterday gathered all the courage i would need to meet my own greatest fear.. to meet the dentist!

maybe its dues to the fact i was not able to sleep the entire nite before due to the pain that struck on my wisdom tooth.. too unbearable dat i decided to have dat fixed...

when the xray result came out.. i was shocked at the fact how the wisdom tooth was growing on my jaw... it is practically growing horizontally into my teeth.... no wonder dat hurts so much...

so got three of the tooth on my right side removed... two below and one at the top... a lot rite?? rongak siak aku!!!

but the whole process of surgery wasnt something dat was bad... i didnt feel anything at all... even the anaesthetic injection to make my mouth numb wasnt all dat painful..

after the operation... i became giddy... probably due to the drilling sounds and the pricking of my tooth dat kept playing in my head...

and when im at home and the anaesthetic effect starts to wear off... dats where all the pain starts coming back...

but i guess dats ok... since i got 6 days of MC to tahan the pain at home...

Competitive World

2006-06-19T23:58:00.000+08:00

ZuLdaniaL Listening to: Taylor Hicks - Do I Make You Proud

man was born the way that they are... to be competitive...

it is a way to find out who is better than the rest... to see that one person outshine... to see who deserve that "title"...

in a way, it also helps man to go against what they thought they are able to achieve... to strive for even the better...

survival of the fittest...

and even on our television sets... we do see the numerous competitions happening in reality...

a fine example... and a personal favourite.. "The Amazing Race"... where all raced their way around the world to achieve that monetary reward....

and lets take reality check on what is happening now... the World Cup.. dats another competition to see which deserve dat big throphy... something which has got all man all over the world involved...

lets not forget.. Singapore Idol 2... which is happening concurrently...

these are still ongoing and peeps are still awaiting for that final showdown...

a final showdown just ended today as well...

today marks the end of Suria's Anugerah Skrin... and marks the start of the real entertainment journey for the winners....

presenting... the winners of Anugerah Skrin '06...

congrats!

but seriously, i was expecting a different set of couple to win dat title... but just sadly... luck wasnt on their side...

not many would agree on my choice... esp. surianny... many says she got a character that does not appeal to them... but nevertheless, i feel she got the maturity in her to act on the many different roles dat an actor needs....

as for shah, i just liked the comedian in him.. badut circus kot... wahaha... but he's natural with all these jokes and comedy that was potrayed by him... dats something dat i guess aint easy for one to potray...

whatever ones opinion on all the finalist... i guess all the top 12 finalist had tried their best... and all are equally good... or at least within there...

all deserve a round of applause dont ya think.... and to an ol' fren who was also one of the 12 finalist...

dont be disheartened bout not getting in as one of the 6 finalist today... u did good as an overall...

Seconds of Fame

ZuLdaniaL Listening to: Bryan Adams - Heaven

i dont normally watch the news...

my source of news usually comes from word of mouth... when peeps sit down and talk.. and just share what they learnt bout the day... shares what is most talked about... shares what was seen and wat was heard... dats second hand news.. but what the hell...

aniwae... i did something different for the day.. to sit and watch the news...

and surprisingly saw what i dont normally would see on other days...

familiar faces...

it started with the face of my aunt and her kid having some fun games at east coast park.. something bout bonding families together...

and awhile later.. caught a glimpse of a secondary school mate... who was involved in some arts productions... fuiyoh... glamour lah bro...

and awhile more... saw another familiar face... najie's fwen doing the malay tarian or something.. not very au fait wit the malay arts.. especially when it comes to tarian... kalau ckp pasal dikir barat.. aku tahu lerr...

well dats a lot of familiar face for a half hour news...

i saw u guys.. i saw u...

i saw u in ur seconds of fame....

In Pain

ZuLdaniaL Listening to: - empty playlist -

this was typed in a moment full of pain...

i was practically fine all the way... until when i reached home... my gums starts aching badly!! gosh!! at this hour!!

i guess its probably due to my wisdom tooth.. dammit! told u to have it removed much earlier...

the ache has given me a sickening headache... something which i can no longer tolerate.. felt like just giving this head a good bump on the wall.. well at least dat helps me with forgetting the pain on my gums...

and i can feel that my temperature is rising up.. dammit!! all doesnt feel too good...

im in a dreadful pain..

doubled my intake of pain killers.. but obviously dat didnt work for me...

urghhhh........ i cant get to sleep...

im rocking myself on this chair trying to forget that the pain is not there...

its not working!

gawd! why must u make me suffer like dis...

aniwae.. sorri to those friends which i just fucked earlier on the fone... i know u all didnt deserve dat... and sorri to my bro as well who got a fair share of being fucked for being irritating with the tones on his bloody handphone...

im sorri... but for goodness sake... im practically not thinking straight!

ZuLdaniaL Listening to: Ungu - Demi Waktu

the comment link would do just fine for me...

yup... like uve - already, obviously, without having to mention - noticed... i changed my skin once again...

guess i got too tired of looking at boxes... hahaha... u r right Jana... it just doesnt seem to reflect good upon myself...

and of all days... i wasted my entire time on building this skin and making it right for myself...

wat a loser... people take leave to do something more fruitful... whereas i stuck myself to this bloody computer...

just wait for the day that this thing crash.. choi! but dat would be the end of my life i guess....

now dat im done... im ready to just get out of this room... and meet with the people in the reality world...

ive had enough of cyber world for today... goodbye~

Dance

2006-06-14T21:59:00.000+08:00

ZuLdaniaL Listening to: Che'Nelle - Teach Me How to Dance

there has been numerous dance movies that has caught my attention thru these years...

a top most favourite would always be "Save the last dance"... a movie that i wouldnt grew bored off... even if i watch it a few more times...

and yesterday... i watched "Take the Lead" once again.. i like the way they incorporate ball room dancing with reggae, hiphop... just to keep it to that fast moving tempo... a recommended movie if u have not watched...

and there are a few other dance movies that are still vivid in my mind... such as "Honey" and "You got Served"...

all are great in their own way...

maybe they should start showing more of these kind of movies in the near future...

KFC or Mc?

2006-06-13T09:18:00.000+08:00

ZuLdaniaL Listening to: Daddy Yankee - Lo Que Paso Paso

someone mentioned to me dis and i was quite surprised that someone actually came up with that statement in the first place...

"You are a Mat! You will definitely choose KFC...."

it came about bcoz i chose Mc over KFC... come on... i chose the latter simply coz ive always been eating Mc on every other day... it doesnt harm to change my appetite rite???

wats the connection between KFC and Mats?? i totally dont get it.... do Mats actually prefer KFC among the various fast food joints???

hmphhh...

ive never actually realised that at a KFC fast food joint.. it would definitely be made up of those mats.... im still wondering why that statement was first made by dat person.. outrageous in a weird way...

personally... if given a choice of all the fast food joints... i wouldnt choose KFC...

Burger King will still be my top most favourite...

Repent!

2006-06-11T23:17:00.000+08:00

ZuLdaniaL Listening to: Bone Thugs n' Harmony - Wanna Ride

watched a malay telemovie earlier...

and it got me thinking...

a person who wasnt born a muslim embraced Islam and held on tight to the religion...

whereas a person who is born a muslim... most of the times would forget to do even the basics... like a simple five times prayers per day...

something for all the muslims including myself to ponder and reflect ourselves upon....

Teh Tarik Story

2006-06-10T23:57:00.000+08:00

ZuLdaniaL Listening to: Green Day - Time of Your Life

we spent our younger years grewing up together...

school hols while we were so much younger were never complete without me staying over at his place playing our silly games...

our early teenage years were spent like wak wak kedai kopi... and we spent a whole lot of time sitting and chatting over a glass of teh tarik...

not forgetting the countless pool games we played against each other... makdi... duit cam jatuh dari langit gitu...

at every family outing and chalets... we would be the crazy ones among the rest... the loud and the noisiest...

he was one of the closest cousin that me and my bros had...

and as time passes... we grew too "proud" of our own life... and we mellowed down... came to a part where u lead ur life.. and i lead mine...

didnt share much of the late teens nor the early adulthood...

and today... marks another point of turn in his life... without realising.. he's married...

alhamdulillah... the akad nikah went on smoothly for him..

and tomorrow would be the big ceremony... hope dat goes off well for him..

he's now a married man!

2006-06-07T14:38:00.000+08:00

ZuLdaniaL Listening to: Hattan - Memburu Rindu

"when the first angel... blew its trumpet..."

......i held my breathe...

then it showcases several pictures of disruption dat happened to our modern world society....

that was what was shown on The Omen - a movie that was just released yesterday....

a story about what is feared by most of us.. a period of the unknown... a day where we wont know when it would happen... but definitely not today according to the teachings of Islam...

coz according to HIM... it falls on a Friday...

Armaegeddon - the end of the world!

still giving me the creeps if i still think of the whole story... seriously it wasnt dat much of a horror... but the story plot definitely leaves a deep impact...

one thing i certainly wish is dat my kid doesnt turn out like damien...

gosh!! how can a kid go frantic when he see a church?? or in my case.. if he see a mosque...

something is definitely wrong.. all so damn wrong...

catch the movie... definitely something worth watching...

Childish Hour Temptations

2006-06-06T19:09:00.000+08:00

ZuLdaniaL Listening to: Westlife - What Makes a Man

i had an hour to waste at town before a fren finished work...

i had choices.. roam around the street... or sit down have my coffee at starbucks... or play arcade... or book the tix to the movies dat we would be watching...

but no.. i didnt choose any of dat...

i chose to go to toys r' us and see wats the newest toy dat they have...

ok.. laugh now if u want...

its not everyday... and its not always... dat i would wanna go there to see toys.. but just felt the child in me for today...

the first thing i saw was dis subaru car which could move by using a battery operated controller...

i just saw a kid played this about two days back...

back then, i thot to myself.. how lucky... dis kid got a toy that probably cost a bomb... how wonderful if i had parents as such... im sure they dont mind buying me a real subaru...

i was fooled...

the thing cost like freaking 19 bucks.. which tempted me to buy.. it could be quite interesting to just play ard with it once in awhile...

then i set my eyes on this famous and likeable board game.. monopoly...

the unique thing bout the one i saw was that it is one dat is of singapore edition... some of the road names that were used were like queen astrid park and nassim rd... how local and interesting...

i was tempted to buy dat as well.. maybe one of these days when i dont ride my bike out i would.. coz if i did.. then i would look stupid carrying such bulky item on my boxless bike...

then i set my eyes on another toy...

Singapore's own local 'comfort' taxi toy car....

now whats up with that!?!

i wonder who would actually buy that???

i really wonder....

Devil with Words

ZuLdaniaL Listening to: Toni Braxton - Spanish Guitar

i can never be an angel who could "satisfy" everyone around me... i can never be the good one who takes into considerations of other feelings at my own disadvantage... i can never be dat guy who could give u all smiles and yet deep down.. im frowning at myself...

i just cant...

sometimes i just had to be crude with my words to just make people see the whole picture.. and more than often.. i stepped on the wrong foot... i said words dat shouldnt have been there in the first place...

me: fuck lah... stop! i dont want to hear your story...

she: huh?

me: i mean.. he fucking dont get it does he?? you already told him to just fuck off.. and after all that he is still coming back for more... im sick of hearing it again.. he is one fucking asshole who dont understand simple english!

she: wat can i do seh... ive already tried ignoring him.. and he would still talk to me... and if i dont talk to him.. he would make my day at work one dat is worst then hell...

me: come on! one person has to be the bad guy here.. and it has to be you!! coz he fucking dont understand! you want to please him.. make him happy... at the expense of ur own unhappiness?... for fuck sake... ppl at work are talking bout u.. dammit!

she: urghhhh!! u fucking dont get it...

me: fuck ah! gimme his number.. i give him a piece of my mind...

she: dont want arh... it will definitely affect my work... i still need his help most of the time to liase with other people...

me: ok... then just let ppl talk then... if u r comfortable with people saying dat u r sleeping with him.. then be it!!!

i lost my cool once again...

and more than often.. i felt even worst than when it first started...

dammit...

Old Folks Hobby

2006-06-04T21:39:00.000+08:00

ZuLdaniaL Listening to: Shania Twain n' Bryan Adams - From This Moment

i definitely do not have the courage and obviously im impressed that they do...

line dancing...

a hobby that has seemed to be increasingly adopted by the old folks in singapore... well not really old folks.. late 40s i would say... especially within the chinese community... so far have not seen any malays or indians doing it.. so please enlighten me if there is...

earlier, i was at far easy square...

and i caught a glimpse of line dancing that was happening there... it was all norm i guess.. something that you guys would have seen somewhere in your neighbourhood at times...

wat caught my attention happened a bit later where a couple made their way to the centre and started doing the tango...

obviously they do not have a sense of rhythm in them...

their steps didnt suit the song that the band was playing... dats one... and tango is a dance that needs consistency.. a rhythmatic kind of flow... they didnt have dat either..

it was kinda funny looking at the way they dance.. and the way the man spins the lady ard at some point.. i cant help but laugh softly in my heart...

but nevertheless, face the fact... they are brave enough to go out there and do wat they like best.. and mind u.. they were the only one dancing.. im sure u dont have that courage... neither do i...

their courage was definitely something that was worth mentioning...

line dancers... wa caya la sama lu!

Short Holiday Trip to....

2006-06-03T23:42:00.000+08:00

ZuLdaniaL Listening to: Radja - Cinderella

i managed to go for the shortest trip ever possible with fee....

even thou it was short as hell.. we enjoyed every part of it.. not regretting a moment of it...

dats what trips are meant to be in the first place.. enjoyable...

shall not discuss much bout the trip coz ive actually captured lots of pictures bout it using my nokia 6280... and these could be viewed [ here ]... pictorials are still the best to describe bout sequence and emotions...

during the trip... i discovered something which i have actually been looking out for quite sometime...

the picture reflected on the right...

the said telephone booth was actually first seen in one of the bogs that i hopped before.. and since then.. i was kinda curious bout where the said phone is located at...

uniqueness...

you dont see such colourful background at telephone booths around normally...

and it was kinda great when i finally found it! it was really a trip that was worthwhile...

Saddist Me

2006-06-02T22:31:00.000+08:00

ZuLdaniaL Listening to: Damasutra - Seribu Bayangan

i think im a saddist!

others would have very bright and colourful things in their blogs... whereas i would rather keep mine as black and white...

i wouldnt deny.. i started out with something colourful as well.. well at least... black background with lots of colours... but they dont potray much bout me i guess...

i dont feel comfortable looking at my blog everyday...

then the evolution started... it started from a white background...

slowly... i realised that each time i change the skin of my blog.. i would have it in black and white... or at least greyish...

each time i look at my blog.. im loving it...

weird aint it?? how i dont find colours colourful but irritating... and a simple blog like black, white and grey... i find most appealing... old skool lah katerkan....

is it me or is it just my eyes?

anyways... changed my skin once again.. these time restricting myself to boxes.. not something which i actually prefer... but i just like the way everything seemed to be organized within boxes...

fuck lah...

u dont like?? get out!!!

dont u criticise my work dat i painstakingly took to build... and withstanding the tiredness and sleepiness feeling within me... just to get this up and running...

drained out now...

sleep~

The Coincidental

2006-06-01T13:02:00.000+08:00

ZuLdaniaL Listening to: Ungu - Demi Waktu

its too coincidental...

i actually held my breath... when i heard the news... disbelief... that someone went thru the same thing...

but em thankful... i escaped the tremor with just very minor wounds..

was chatting with a blogger.. and she mentioned her bf just got involved in an accident.. a taxi rammed his bike from behind...

gulp!

an accident which happened to me before...

he lost his left arm... just had an operation yesterday.. but no news till today..

double gulp!

realli thanking god that i didnt suffer such an injury...

praying hard for dat bf of hers to recover... its kinda sad to hear what another biker goes thru after an accident...

see... im not dat hard hearted after all...

Not a Cool Thing

2006-05-31T23:49:00.000+08:00

ZuLdaniaL Listening to: Babyface - The Loneliness

i dont usually lose my cool.. even for the most terrible things...

certainly not when in person.. lets not talk about blogging.. coz dats the oni way that i do actually express myself.. relieving all that i had kept within myself...

but today.. i just lost it...

i think i just cant accept self centred people who oni wants things to go their way and not sparing a thought for others...

come on.. even others do have their own problems.. and this world doesnt evolve ard yourself...

and it surely wasnt a pretty sight when i lose my cool... sarcasm comes along with it..

and damn it! i hate dat feeling...

hate it when my blood just shoots up to the max at high speed... where the brain just go berzerk.... where i lost grip of myself for that split moment...

and i thank myself dat i do have some form of control to my emotions... within an instance.. i could just get back my cool...

and damn it zul... just smile!

Confessions to my Sin

2006-05-30T17:04:00.000+08:00

ZuLdaniaL Listening to: Radja - Tulus

ive sinned!!!

seriously...

i didnt know why... ive tried so hard not to for months.. but i guess i could no longer control my desires... damn!!! how i wish i had not made that first move... im utterly dissapointed in myself!

god!! how could u allow this to happen to me!

every step that i took felt so wrong.. but still i continued on..

why??

why had i become that stubborn person and refuse to listen to my own heart... heart tells me not to.. but..... damn u desire!!

why cant u just be more disciplined!

ive sinned! i ate Hersheys Milk Chocolate earlier just now!! so much for trying to lose some weight!

and so i thot i sinned...

until i read this article on the Internet... hmphhh... god answered my prayer.. he felt i shouldnt blame myself for eating those chocs... coz at the end of it.. its obviously for a good cause...

here's the article...

Chocolate lovers its time for us to rejoice. A new study hints that eating milk chocolate may boost brain function.

"Chocolate contains many substances that act as stimulants, such as theobromine, phenethylamine, and caffeine," Dr. Bryan Raudenbush from Wheeling Jesuit University in West Virginia noted in comments to Reuters Health.

"These substances by themselves have previously been found to increase alertness and attention and what we have found is that by consuming chocolate you can get the stimulating effects, which then lead to increased mental performance."

To study the effects of various chocolate types on brain power, Raudenbush and colleagues had a group of volunteers consume, on four separate occasions, 85 grams of milk chocolate; 85 grams of dark chocolate; 85 grams of carob; and nothing (the control condition).

After a 15-minute digestive period, participants completed a variety of computer-based neuropsychological tests designed to assess cognitive performance including memory, attention span, reaction time, and problem solving.

"Composite scores for verbal and visual memory were significantly higher for milk chocolate than the other conditions," Raudenbush told Reuters Health. And consumption of milk and dark chocolate was associated with improved impulse control and reaction time.

Previous research has shown that some nutrients in food aid in glucose release and increased blood flow, which may augment cognitive performance. The current findings, said Raudenbush, "provide support for nutrient release via chocolate consumption to enhance cognitive performance."

now i have a word of advise for those students.... damn it! grab those chocs before studying.. coz it certainly would help!

speaking of which... my mum used to encourage me to eat honey and raisins to stimulate those memory cells so that i can absorb better when i study...

now now.. anyone of u have other ways which ur mum has thought u to help u study better???

lets share...

Believing : Your Strength

2006-05-29T16:48:00.000+08:00

ZuLdaniaL Listening to: Yolanda Adams - I Believe

how many a times in life.. you had peers who thot so little of you??

criticism and discouragements were thrown at you like u deserved it...

and each time they did dat... you just grew stronger... strong enough to accept whatever comments they had to give...

simply coz you knew that as time passes.. there would come a time that you would just achieve whatever goals that you might have...

and without them realising.. you were dat someone who was that tiny.. had grown into someone dat tall...

as for them, that someone whom u see as tall.. became so tiny in your life..

and looking back.. damn it felt so good!!

here's a tribute to all that had successfully made it through the thoughest time of their life to prove to people that they are something...

your achievements deserved a great congratulations...

as for those who are still trying to prove their point.. dont ever give up.. coz giving up just simply means you are proving all those stupid peers of yours that their words were real...

u dont deserve a sympathise... seriously...

heres a tribute to those who made it....

They said you wouldn't make is so far
And ever since they said it, it's been hard
But nevermind the nights you had to cry
Cause you have never let it go inside

You worked real hard
And you know exactly what you want and need
So believe and you can never give up
You can reach your goals
Just talk to your soul and say...

"I BELIEVE I CAN!"

Your goals are just a thing in your soul
And you know that your moves will let them show
You keep creating pictures in your mind
So just believe they will come true in time

It will be fine
Leave all of your cares and stress behind
Just let it go
Let the music flow inside
Forget all your pain
And just start to believe

"I BELIEVE I CAN!"

Nevermind what people say
Hold your head high and turn away
With all our hopes and dreams
I will believe
Even though it seems it's not for me

I won't give up
I'll keep it up
Look into the sky
I will achieve all my needs
I will always believe

"I BELIEVE I CAN!"

first up... hell yeah.. em back from OBS at Pulau Ubin... dat was a bang!!!

had my share of fun... it felt good getting away from singapore and getting my mind off from work a while...

it was at OBS dat i discovered that i am starting to have fear of heights... never had a problem with dat before... i guess as i grow older... the more timid i become...

i made a climb at those high element climbs... almost to the top... my knees starts shaking.. luckily it did not give way...

when i made my way down to the ground.. just one word for the feeling.. nausea!

prior to OBS... the birth of my 3rd niece... my sis in law gave birth to a healthy baby girl... Ismira... lets not foget my sis in law, shes fine too....

she saw this world of ours on 24th May 2006... welcome!!! and be a good kid yeah...

yesterday, after my morning shift... i managed to catch the Da Vinci Code...

i guess im intellectually stupid and i had difficulty understanding what the show is all about... damn!!!

its a very wordy film... and the fact that i was from work... i guess dat played a part into not understanding the film... i slept during one of the scenes... coz they talked too much!

but nevertheless.. i would not deny that it is a bloody interesting show... not the usual kind of stuffs all over again...

Something Familiar

2006-05-23T23:54:00.000+08:00

ZuLdaniaL Listening to: Laurynn Hill n Choir - Oh Happy Day

of all things.. i was captivated by that one thing while on the road riding with a bunch of my friends...

one of them spotted and brought me back to reality from my world of day dreaming... damn u.. u have to snap me out from my whole world of illusion...

i dont really know what was so interesting bout that one thing that i was looking at...

there was definitely something unique bout it... obviously... i dont usually look at things that much if it wasnt something interesting...

i couldnt figure out what was the unique thing bout it...

maybe its something familiar.. somthing ive seen before... something that wasnt wat ive seen for the first time...

maybe from my past life... just maybe... if there is such thing as a past life that is...

draining my brains out thinking if i had known that one thing or came across it somewhere...

at the end of it.. it wasnt fruitfull at all...

i couldnt remember anything...

maybe im just captivated.. thats all...

but i definitely wanna come across it once again...

im looking for dat malay chick on the Aprillia RS125... with the voluptious lips and smooth flowing hair... a piercing on her left eyebrow dat just compliments all the other features on her face...

i definitely wanna see u again...

and just maybe the next time round.. i would build enough courage just to approach...

maklumlah.. dah lama tak buat kerja tak senonoh like approaching a chicky...

till then.......

I hate... BUTS!

so my younger bro decided to still apply for the position of a police officer after advising him countless time to really consider...

sometimes we might never know what the private sector can offer us... in the long run.. ive heard where by private sector peeps are doing very well...

but since he's big enough to make a mind of his own... im still giving him the support...

and today... i opened up my letter box to see a letter from the police addressed to my younger bro... decided to give him a call..

me: oei.. kau kat ner??

younger bro: at work.. asal?

me: surat polis dah sampai...

younger bro: serious ah... ok ok.. thanks...

[being the k-po me... i decided to go a step further into the conversation...]

me: ko nak aku bukak and check tak kalau dapat...

younger bro: ok ah.. bukak ah...

[opens up the letter... and one look.. i knew he got it...]

me: ok.. kau dapat... (scanning thru the letter..) but.....

younger bro: apa??

me: sial ah... kau nak kena pi cantonment nari siol!!!

younger bro: huh?? serious ah... mana sempat seh.. aku masih kat kerja sial...

sometimes i find myself useless...

i frequently cause ppl to be angry...

i frequently cause ppl to worry....

but yet again.. most of the time i just wanna please other parties that some other party just get hurt...

so damn useless!!...

i cant even do simple things rite...

maybe next time.. i just fuck everything and do wat my heart feels right... dont need to think bout the consequences... basically dont think far at all.. coz in the end.. ppl dont see what im thinking but rather my actions...

apa nak jadi... jadi ah.... one party got to get hurt anyway... next time let it be me... come shoot me jerr lah!

cant stand this mental torture!!!

The Resignation

2006-05-17T11:06:00.000+08:00

ZuLdaniaL Listening to: Samudera - Salam Sejahtera

after being a job for quite some time... ppl might start to wonder.. where their future lies if they stayed longer in the job...

dats when some starts to look for a better prospect elsewhere...

searching for a more rewarding career.. with added benefits... and a higher pay...

these chances dont comes with the snap of ya fingers... it sure takes a lot of determination and hard work... analyzing the pros and cons.. and several other factors.. before a particular someone do make a certain decision to leave their current job and accept the next job offer...

the hardest part of all would definitely be tendering ur resignation letter... a couple of things will start to sink in... will the new workplace be a better working environment??? lets put aside the money... the benefits and the rewards... lets talk reality...

lets talk about the people... lets face the fact... working life... u r bound to meet lots of undesired attitudes... a perfect fine example.. backstabbers... definitely, everyone would seriously hope that the new workplace would not be filled with them.. how to survive well in that kind of environment anyway???

but fuck everything... lets just say.. u die die already made up ur mind... u tendered....

the best thing... ur employer find it hard to let u go... he had a heart to heart talk wit u... asked what kind of benefits and the pay you would be getting from ur new workplace... he made a decision.. to increase ur pay and also included the benefits which he finds is of importance to u...

how sweet is dat???

it just shows how much he wants u to stay...

given that situation.. i guess, personally i would stay... given the factor that i love my current working place and that the environment.. distance from home... the colleagues... are all favourable to me...

wat do u think?? i guess all of u would choose to stay rite???

i guess its not something to feel bad about...

if i put it in another way... the employer appreciates the work done.. and definitely finds u to be an asset of the company...

and in case u r wondering... hell no! im not quiting my job.. this has nothing got to do with me... im just blogging bout what a fren is facing...

dok.. come on... dont feel bad... dont fret.. dont slack at work...

u didnt make a wrong decision by shredding that resignation letter away...

after all, not everybody is blessed with an employer who thinks highly of ur capabilities till the extend that he would increase ur pay and benefits just so that u would stay...

dats definitely a situation thats hard to come by...

now now... cheer up and start doing ur work...

Sold Out at a Cafe

2006-05-15T00:05:00.000+08:00

ZuLdaniaL Listening to: Kelly Clarkson - Anytime

was disgusted by the uncle who took our orders earlier....

a fren and i decided to be adventurous with what we gonna eat... we gonna try food that we dont usually get at ordinary places...

the yellow banner outside the cafe claims that it serves 30 different varieties of prata... 20 varieties of thosai... tempting??? hell yeah...

it lived up to what it claimed it to be... well... dat is what is stated in the menu at least...

given the different varieties.. we sure do have a hard time choosing what we want for the day...

after what seemed like 10 minutes of pondering.. we made up our mind...

called in the waiter...

goodness... he claimed they do not have what we wanted for our food... neh.. its still alright... we can make do with something else...

and he came back saying that they too didnt have that... so what do they have???

he claimed.. the normal pratas are available... then why the hell they claim they have a variety.... at this point we were already disgusted... in addition... the uncle who is a waiter there... has an attitude which we both were not very happy with...

we gave up... we decided on the following in the end...

one egg prata.. one tuna and cheese roti john... and two teh tongkat ali...

and he came back... saying they do not have the said roti john.... and our drinks were also unavailable...

how bad can things be???

forget it lah bro... cancel our order... we are in no mood to try out ur place ady...

and we left... feeling damn flabbergasted by the fact that they do not have almost everything that they claimed that they do have.... and not forgetting the spoilt appetite we had after everything...

that was the first time we step in that cafe.. and it would definitely be my last...

first impression do last....

felt disturbed by an incident that happened earlier on...

a couple of the peeps decided to watch Mission Impossible 3 earlier...

we didnt bother asking this specific couple along simply coz they had already watched the movie before we did...

while waiting to enter the cinemas... received an SMS from them asking where i was...

i knew if i told the truth they would make such a big hu-ha... knowing them too well, since its not the first time such incident happened, i am confident that they would say why i never call them up.. can watch other movies together wat.... but fuck it lah eh... i so wanted to watch this movie... die die must!

and no.. i didnt lie.. i told them the truth.... and i specifically said im watching MI3, a movie that they had already watched....

and their reply was of coz why i didnt call them up.. they dont mind watching it again....

yeah rite shithead!...

why previously, it never do occur that u would say such a thing?? in the end.. everyone has to change plans just coz both of u had already watched that specific movie....

fuck lah... not gonna reply... buat sakit ati jek nanti... spoil mood aku...

fuck it people... no more Mr Nicie.....

i am not obliged to "ambik hati" kowang kowang...

and by the way.. MI3 was marvelous... the effects are simply pounderful... thumbs up lah dok!!!
