The Tragedy [20th July 2009]
"You never know when it will strike you, and you will never it will ever hit you.
No matter how much you take care of something, just one instance, just that one moment of carelessness, will cost you. They don't give a fuck at how much effort you thrown to take care of the things you love ; all they care about is getting quick cash through the hardship of other"

Fuck thieves. I know in these tough and rough times where the economy seems to be on a rollercoaster (the US citizens are partly to be blamed for this), its hard to get a decent job to serve food for the family. But why? Why must you degrade yourself to the point of getting mocked, angered and best of all, CURSED by every single human being that has rational thoughts on the issue of [Right vs Wrong].

Things started out as any other Monday can ever be.
A mundane Monday. Since UiTM has enforced the ruling of 'Parkir Pelajar di Padang Kawad', I was forced to find alternative parkings (I aint gonna wait for the fucking bus that would only get my punch card be in the RED, risk my car at a place only reachable by bus and adding to that, my classes finish at around 9pm on average, so by that time, there won't be any friggin busses to ferry me to by bloody car you faggots of administration!) even at the cost of getting [surat cinta] PEGAWAI KESELAMATAN (fuck this title, you not even keeping UiTM safe from anything).

With no lunch (cafeteria was so faraway from my office), I was forced only to eat Gardenia Butterscotch bread throughout the whole day, and by 4pm, I was fucking hungry. But I cant go back just yet, I have another class from 5pm to 830pm. So again Im in class. Hunger and desperation kicks in. I'd kill a horse and flame roast it if I must, but Mawar would just kill me later for eating a horse.

Waiting for the clock to tick at 830pm can never be so tiresome. My stomach was still empty, I was damn thirsty, and to add it up, yes, I had another [surat cinta] from those people who are supposed to keep UiTM safe (hey, kes kecurian kat Mawar, Perindu, sume ada lagi kot! Where are you guys when these things happen? The grevious injury case that happened last year is also still fresh due to your mistake, you so called PEGAWAI KESELAMATAN).

Class ended, and all I can ever think about is FOOD.
I had totally forgotten all about the bags I was carrying, so I just lugged them in between the passenger and driver seat (bad mistake!). Took my girlfriend out for dinner at Kelana Jaya, I reached the place by 930pm. Parked my car in front of a Clinic that has a tuition centre above it. The operating hour of the clinic ends at 10pm.

So everything was fine. Ate my dinner, had a good laugh, and headed back to my car at 1015pm. Disenganged the alarm, opened the door, entered my car, closed the door -- ONLY THEN IT STRUCKED ME ;

Me: "You, nape I rasa kete I cam cerah semacam je"
Her: "YOU! Cermin kete kena pecah!!!"
Me: "What the fuck?! Celaka la!!"

A clean job; the thief (or thieves) smashed my rear quarter panel window to pieces, cut through my tint layer. While I was grieving for the damage, the question suddenly sprang -- "Anything stolen bro?" -- YES, my 3 year old enduring, reliable, all storing Compaq Presario V2000 laptop was missing from where it sits just now.

Fuck it. Not only I must repair the fucking damage, now I have to make do without a fucking laptop? Fuck you man! All those thieves and robbers and other criminals in the world -- GO TO HELL, DIE QUICKLY. You made my week a terrible one. And I curse you til the end of time, even if I have to go to hell with all of you.

I lost 4gb of stored photos from my first semester til the final of my Degree, documents which included [cases - assignments - moot submission - precedents - notes]. Basically, I lost my work station. And a rear quarter window glass. And now Im left dumbstrucked.

Which is why I've been having a hard time trying to focus on my work.
Currently I'm a Temporary Occupation License (TOL) holder for my brothers' and my beloveds' laptop. Work load has been piling up to the brink of losing my mind, and I'm so lucky to have these people loan me their laptop.

My parents dont want to know any shit about me needing a laptop. Guess they're still pissed off with the incident. And I understand why, so I just have to move with the flow.

That piece of equipment has been with me for over 3 years.
I take pride in the way I take care of it, I've never left it in the boot or in any place without supervision. I only made one, JUST ONE small error, and now its gone. I dont hope much from the Police Report I made. For all I know, the Laptop could now have been disassembled for parts.

I dont mind you taking away the monitor, the keyboard, the processor nor chipset. If possible, I just want the hard disk back intact. But it's a longshot wish, and logically speaking, it would never happen unless by miracle a suspect is apprehended and my laptop is in his/her stash of stolen items. Hopes sometimes are meant to only bring you down.

I now have to accept the reality of learning an expensive lesson, the hard way.
I just hope none of my friends, even those who are reading this blog, will ever be faced with this hardship in their life.

Had my share of letting it out. Peace out people.

(Unofficially) I'm a Law Degree holder
Who would've thought, some guy who apparently studied science subjects throughout High School up til Matriculation would end up hating every single Math calculations which involves complicated algorithms, would end up studying in the Faculty of Law UiTM.

Life can be very twisted but wonderful at the same time. And thanks to Allah, I've experienced how life would be when I took a turn from studying science to learning the art and form of Law. If asked did i ever regret not striving for the dream I once held (to be a doctor), my answer would be precise and concise --

"NO"

I may not be the perfect human, nor am I any sentient being that can see through the future, but I believe that in every turn of event, Allah is teaching a lesson. My time spent as a BLS student transcends any of which I could have imagined myself doing. For once in my life, I am enjoying my study (could be because this is what I am supposed to do?), not to mention that throughout the rocky road in the duration of three years, I would be involved in many other things that broadened my mind.

My obsession for tennis flourished. My romance of cars took flight. My night time advantures (some may know about it). The times I spent with members of Lawsoc 07/08. My Inter Part mooting participation.
All this within the span of my studies. And Im truly grateful for all this.

Quoting from my Facebook status;

"Alhamdulillah, praise be to Allah for giving me the opportunity to complete my very first degree. Though the journey is still far, but Im thankful for the wonderful things I've learnt, the wonderful people that I meet, and also wonderful memories that only time will erase"

I am truly blessed to have met wonderful people along my struggles to complete BLS.
Friends, Senior, Juniors, Lecturers, Partners in crime ; all who I meet made significant impact on how I view life. I appreciate all of you, especially those who are dearest to me (you know who you are). You guys have given me the best life lesson any person could ever received, and I pray that we shall learn more from each other in the coming years.

A big shoutout to the one that has always been there for me. My beautiful and elegant (I hope she doesnt read this), my one and only love -- Aneez Shafeeqa. Without you, my life wouldnt have been complete. You gave me the courage to do things that I've never even dreamed of doing, and you taught me that the value in life is not about how much money you have, but also how much kindness and love are you willing to share with others. I can only thank you so much, but I know I can't say it to you in person.

And to my besties (must I name you?), thanks for being the pillars that support me (I know, I'ma hefty guy :P). Let me tell you guys a little secret;

I've never had any bestfriend. Not until I've met you guys. You are the best, and no word can describe how much you guys mean to me. You know who you are, and I can't thank you enought for all the time you guys spent tutoring me, covering up for any of my mistakes, and all those crappy talk-hour that we usually have in between studying *hahaha*

I know, the journey is not an end just yet. More hurdles and challenges lies ahead, and I am still unconfident if I can ever reach the true finishing line (even if there is one). I pray for strength to continue my pursuit of knowledge, and to emerge stronger and better than the man who I am now. And now I believe, that in every cloud, albeit storm or rain, there is a silver lining.

Though my achievement may not be much compared to other brighter stars, but it has been a milestone experience for me. I personally am changed (dont go looking at my physical attributes, I know its rounder than I was 3 years ago), by the people, by the knowledge, and by the experience.

I'll sign this post off with an excerpt from a song I truly enjoy at this moment;

"If I could go back in time, wouldnt change a damn thing in my life,
love the dumb things we do when we're young, but the best is yet to come.
go for it, run toward it, dive in head first, live life with no regrets,
put your heart out there, don't be scared, and you might get hurt,
but it's all worth it in the end, and
the best is yet to come"

-- Hinder ; 'The Best is Yet to Come"


Congratulations BLS class of '09, we made it.

Alhamdulillah

A short update on my Decepticon.
After a long absence from the modding scene, and several wheelspin incident and also near accident experience, I decided to dump the Stock Conti tyres.

Although some would disagree with my statement, let me clarify.
The Stock Conti on dry is good. But if it rains, damn it spins.
And lately, even launching at 2.5K RPM spins the wheel like mad.
Even more scary when simple lane switching manouver on highways somehow leads to loss of grip during rainy days.

In the circumstances, I had to change tyres.
Not for performance, but for safety. But cost is the constraint.
A good set of 16" will set me back about 1k minimal.

So why not go the extra mile and just splurge for some new wheel altogether?
In the long run, I may be able to save some cash splurged on new tyres.
So the hunt for a suitable 15" for my Decepticon begins

Thus began my endeavor to find the set of wheels that fits my need.



So much to choose from, so very little option (PCD 114.3 is a pain in the a*s)


At first instance, I fell in love with this set of Advanti. But alas, during fitment, the spokes were too close to the front brake calipers that I had to let go of this beauty.


Then I tried my baby this set of GramLight replica. Though it fits well, the colour was not my cup of tea (nor coffee for that matter). The search continues.



At a state of dismay, I blindly chose this set of Klon wheels. Yeap, not to my liking.



So for about an hour or so at the shop, the tauke suggested me several 16" rims (which defeats the purpose of cheaper 15" tyres) which I declined to look (but they are so yummy!)

Then I saw one set that fits my criteria;
a) 15"
b) Easy to clean (compared to stock)
c) PCD 114.3
d) Doesnt hit my brake calipers


Out comes the Stock rims which my Decepticon had worn for the last 2 years
p/s: Even with all those lousy scratch marks and kerb ramming marks, they took my rims and tyres for Rm400. Not bad for a 2 year old OEM Rim ha?


The old vs The new. The Ironic battle continues



The car is floating with the help of several 2-tonne jacks. The new wheels lying beside it



"Wa kasi masuk itu nut aaa, lu tgk baik2 ok?"



They didnt have the Yokohama nor Bridgestone that I wanted. So I settled for Falken



After changing new rims, balancing and alignment is a must


So these are the end results. That end's my rim searching endeavor. I know it's not much, but it's the best I can do.

Prowling behind the shadows


Don't ask about the scratch mark on the bumper --- long story


Next mod....well, maybe I'll have to wait on that.
Cheers everyone
