Sound and Lighting Man

Andayu's GPA Team were totally superb! humorous! acting, excellent! deklamasi puisi, that part i don't really care actually. isi kandungan puisi, simple and easy to understand! i'm so happy for them and dissappointed because they didn't get top 3.

after watching them on stage, i felt like my spirit has come back and is telling me to go on stage again. Layar Andayu 2006, our second theatre production which is under construction, i'm going to focus on the sound and lighting. the seniors asked me to act. but i rejected, even though deep in my heart, i wanna feel that limelight once more. but i've tried acting, singing, playing musical instruments, dancing and even directing. so i thought why not work in the black box. the lightings and the sounds are also important factors in a theatre production.

so i have decided. i'm going to be the sound and lighting man. i'm gonna work at the black box together with the cute and cheerful members of the theatre management team. this is going to be my first time. i can't wait! Woo hoo!

Negative Gossips? Cos Andayu is Famous!

ok Limaposen, thank you so much for your feedback about MCG. Yes, MCG has another name, Andayu which means Kumpulan Kebudayaan Melayu or Malay Cultural Group. other schools had their own too like the usual one that we heard of is Perdayu which is Persatuan Kebudayaan Melayu. the difference between Andayu and Perdayu is ours are "Kumpulan" or "Group". While the other one is "Persatuan" or "Society". That is why we could not use Perdayu. we had to create a new name and out came 'Andayu'. Thanks for Farhan because he's the one who got that name.

ok next, Limaposen, you said, "i heard a lot of negative things about the mcg lately, where members kicking out members, using people's money for own enjoyment etc." look at siti nurhaliza. she's famous and popular. everyone knows her. but the more popular she is, the more gossips, especially negative gossips came out about her life and these gossips usually were untrue because it came from sources that cannot be trusted and unknown.
same thing as Andayu. the more people know abt this group, the more bad gossips you can hear, which surely came from sources that are unknown and cannot be trusted.

Whats Your Problem, CPU?!

this is the second time i tried to repair my friend's computer. the first time was at Nazrin's house, the wire connected to the hard disk was loose, that's why got problem. i brought home the CPU so its easier for me to do the repairing. the problem was when i tried to on the CPU, the monitor doesn't show anything. there's light on the CPU.

so i checked the RAM by changing it to my computer's RAM. nothing. then i took out my hard disk and plug it to the CPU. nothing also. take note, i put my computer's on the line. very very risky. so left the NVidia card. i'm going to try it on my computer. if it works, that means the CPU really cannot make it lah. must go computer shop already. and that's the very last thing that i'm gonna do. the whole process took me more than 2 hours. i don't like it when i tried to repair my computer and it doesn't work. same goes to my friend's CPU, right now i'm 90% disappointed cos the RAM and the hard disk were not the culprit. haiyah...

a meeting with the 2 guys were held at starbucks just now, talking about the next theatre production at NYP. storyline we got about 80%. we emphasized more on the characters, the stories of these main characters. we also thought of putting an advertisement during the NYP Club Crawl to get people to go for auditions for this production, that way, we'll gonna have more manpower rather than asking people to join Andayu.

long john, what happen to you?

i played kompang with the MCG guys for st patrick's day at the singapore river near boat quay. with our traditional clothes on, all caucasions eyes were on us! they even took photos of us, and alot! the playing part was ok lah, no problem. if only we had more days to practice.

yesterday went to eat at LJS at Lot 1. we were talking about how LJS's customer service is becoming from bad to worse. there was no smile, no 'thank you'. even the chicken fillet was getting smaller, much much smaller! i could still remember eating LJS at jurong entertainment centre when i was in upper secondary. the fillet was as big as my hand. now its half my hand! last time they got curry sauce rite? now its not available. it was one of the nicest sauce LJS ever had man.

bad mood... bad mood

from just now my mood is not good. just came back from Aloha Loyang Chalet. my colleagues and my officer in charge made the chalet. the bbq was good. had a nice chat with my officer and the rest of my colleagues. i overnite there, but not much fun. played game too many times, good thing the last 3 hours before book out, we watched this teenage korean movie. very funny. its called 'sex is zero'. a must watch. but its R21 ah.

back at home, i was kinda mad because i was forced by my mum to wake up. then just now i went to vcd rental shop, i wanted to rent to videos which cost me $4. but instead i had to pay $12 because the last rented vcd, by my sis, was spoiled so had to pay $8. wah really making me mad like hell. back home i was nosiy, until my grandma can't stand and talk loudly in front of my mum, what the hell is wrong with me? i'm just a young man but i made people sick. no need to tell her and talk loudly lah! wanna talk, talk in front of me lah! i almost wanna blow lah when i heard my grandma's screeching loud noise.

I Thought F1 Was Boring To Watch...

15 march to 26 march, Commonwealth Games at Melbourne. gonna watch team singapore's table tennis.

15 march, singapore under 23 versus johor in the 2nd round of malaysia FA Cup at jalan besar stadium. i'm working! sucks!

17 march, tampines rovers versus sporting afrique. its gonna be sporting's first game in the SLeague. so a must watch, live at Channel News Asia.

at work i wanted to go to sleep already. then i was watching F1 world championship. i thought by watching at the cars moving around the circuit over and over again will make me sleepy. but i was wrong! 31 laps left. i watched till finish! hahah! because the part Alonso and Shumacher fighting each other was really fun ah. especially the part where Alonso had to go for a pit stop and Shumacher was 21 seconds away from him. then Alonso went off the pit stop, Shumacher was right behind him. they were side by side at the curb but Alonso managed to go through.

Jalan2 With My Parents Syiok

sometimes going out with your friends too much can get very bored. today i went out with my dad and my mum. i decided we go eat at far east plaza and then bring them to esplanade and boat quay.

at far east plaza, we went to eat at Puncak. but somehow ah, their food was a bit nicer than the last time i went there. especially the sotong char kuay. very different than last time. then the fried wantan also very nice. and also my mum's beef black pepper with rice ad my dad's seafood fried rice. i wonder why. but then i realised, usually i go eat there, i had to pay for it. but this time, my dad pay for everything. pendekkan cerita, makan free, sebab tu sedap.

after we stopped by Al-Falah mosque for Asar, we took a bus to esplanade. we thought of sitting down at MakanSutra for ice kacang or chendol. but they had no dessert ah. so we bought teh tarik. tak sedap, cawan kecik, expensive ($1.20). total bull shit. i walked with my mum to check out all the stalls there. only one stall was halal. MakanSutra at Esplanade suck big time.

after that we went for a walk from esplanade to boat quay, listening to my dad's life story as an office boy at the Fullerton Building was interesting. but then my dad and my mum talked about something disturbing, after they saw chinese sculptures near the Civilization Museum. they said that they could not see any malay history being exhibit and that the malay history in singapore is fading away. i'm a true singaporean u see. so listening to their comments just made me feel bad. i myself do not know how to defend it. well they live longer than me so they had seen the past of singapore more than me.

then had our dinner at Bt Timah's Al-Azhar Restaurant. ok let me tell u someething. Al-Azhar rocks man. good service(the food served was fast even though there were alot of people), good food. sorry ah Al-Ameen, your food were getting poor and you were not fast enough. you lose man.

Keramat Si Kandar

you all got watch 'Jalan' in Suria? the previous episode they were talking about the keramat at fort canning. is it Sri Tri Buana(or Sang Nila Utama), Iskandar Shah or a pious man who was named as Si Kandar?

Sri Tri Buana? cannot be lah. why would his grave be all alone at the fort canning? surely he would be buried together with his other royal family rite? is he muslim? i don't think so. anyway the keramat is a muslim's grave though.

parameswara ran away and build a new city called melaka. and he converted to islam and changed his name to iskandar shah. surely he would be living peace and harmony at melaka, and die peacefully there.

i believe its Si Kandar, the pious man who went to village to village spreading Islam and teaching the villagers long long time ago. But why this man choose to live on top of the hill where he can actually live together with the villagers near the Singapore River? well maybe because the hill is quiet and peaceful, so its easier for him to focus when praying.

so its so common sense that the keramat is someone's who was respected by the villagers for his determination and will to spread islam.

i've reformatted my pc a few days ago. feels like i'm having a new born baby. but the MS Outlook still couldn't solve. so i can't read my singnet email temporary.

still felt the stress but lesser. i just need a few months then maybe, hopefully i'll be back to normal. can't imagine having a relationship can be so problematic, it hurts alot. padahal dah pernah ada ape. tapi yang ni lain sikit ah. macam relationship involving parents. rabak siul.

my family is the only place i can feel safe and secure. maybe its time for me to spend more time with them because everytime my off days i spent it with my friends.

That's It

its over. i thought i wanna continue the relationship with her. but she did a stupid mistake just because she wanted to release stress that we both were facing. so i broke up with her.
