Like, Whatever.

"The truth will set you free. But first, it will piss you off." - by someone I follow in Twitter

I just can't help thinking about something someone said to me when I mengumpat someone we both know when I thought of a close friend of mine suddenly while reminiscing something funny that my close friend would do.

So on that day, I mengumpat to that someone (B) about that someone we know (A), saying this that this that (well you should know how an umpatan goes, aduh banyaknye daging busuk yang saya makan huhuhuh) and then I said something about A was being too... annoyingly spoilt.

Then B suddenly said, "You cannot simply judge people. It's actually because of he upbringing that A becomes like that. You know, A was *like this like that* by her parents, that is why A is like that now. A cannot help it if it turns out like that."

B was defending A's behaviour badly, said that was not A's choice to be like that. B also made a reference to her own parents, who B claimed made her life super miserable now.

If it's not because B was so persistent that I couldn't even give my rebuttal, I've surely gave her a piece of my mind.

You see, I beg to differ slightly.

Yes, it is true that parents do influence their child's behaviour in a way or another. You can feel it in your own self. Whether they influenced you in a good way or in a bad way.

But that should not be the reason why your attitude sucks at this age. As you become older, you should become wiser, knowing what's wrong or right by yourself. You can change yourself to what you want to be. Your bad behaviours, being said which were influenced by your parents, should be able to be fixed by you yourself.

Do not, ever, fully blame your parents of how ugly your behaviour now. No matter how much you hate them.

If you think it's ugly, fix it. Change it and tailor it to what you want it to be. Put some botox or whatever enhanced surgery if you want.

The main thing is have some respect for your parents. They're the ones made you see the world. Even if they disown you, that does not erase the fact that you have their DNA in your stinking blood, you ungrateful bag of filthy flesh.

And it seems like you are a better expert in judging people (in this case, their parents). But then, whatever.

Mana Firaun Pakai Sultan...

Henpon playin' Uri Chigeum Manna (Let's Meet Now) by Leessang. Sangat sesuwei dengan waktu ini. Maksudnye marilah solat sekarang. Sebab dah Subuh.

Ni la... nak habaq mai pasal sorang fir'aun yang juga hamba Allah tapi tak sedar diri. Ada la sorang sohabat dia ni, membuat pasal, yang tak pasal2 aku jugak terlibat dengan sengaja. Bukan aku sengaja nak melibatkan diri, tapi sebab sohabat fir'aun ni juga tergolong dalam golongan hamba Allah yang tak sedar diri, maka dia pun membabitkan aku supaya menjadi rela dalam paksa.

Anyways nak jadikan cerita, si fir'aun ni pun mengadu kat aku pasal sohabat dia yang sorang ni, and I was like, what?? Aku hengat dia akan defend kemain la sohabat dia sorang ni, ghopenye dia pun tawa dalam tangisan jugak. Adey la. Payah kan kalau status bersohabat tu. Karang kalau sound depan2 ambik hati pulak. Dah la sohabat dia ni memang jenis kuat terasa. Nak jaga hati sohabat punye pasal, jadilah fir'aun tu tawa dalam tangisan.

So aku pun dengan halusnye memberi smekdaun sikit pada fir'aun tu. Kasi dia sedar diri sikit supaya tidak jadi sama level dengan sohabat dia yang agak keji jugak la.

Selepas itu sang kancil pun beramai-ramai pergi mengadap sultan fir'aun. Mana fir'aun pakai sultan.. ntah.

Eh ape da mengarut.

The Other Missing Segments.

There will be no other segments for my trip to Korea. None.

Reasons:
1. Dah tak ingat dia nye points yang nak disampaikan dalam Segment 2, 3 dsb.
2. Tenet buat pasal. Tensen la nak taip kalau asyik2 putus je. Ni dah kena gigit tikus kabel ni, lagi la tensen. In fact, I still have one entry in draft mode re kehilangan myKad. Bes cite tu. Tapi, tu lah, tenet buat pasal.
3. Dah tak de mood.

ThE DeaTh aNd ThE StRaWBeRRy

Cerita tenet menyakitkan hati.

Satu malam lepas balik keje... takleh connect langsung ke tenet. Bila sambungkan line telepon yang ada pada modem ni kepada telepon yang ada dalam bilik ni, telepon tu tak menyala.

Turun bawah. Tengok cable. Ok je. Tapi bila angkat telepon kat bawah (which is the main telephone in this house) lampu tak menyala gak. Takde dial tone. Langsung.

Cek balik cable.

Kena gigit tikus??????

GAH!

Tensen gua.

The Return of The Gary.

Yes. It's making its comeback.

The Gary's blog entries.

Coming back to my blogger. In Colemak. Hahaha sebenarnye tak de la menaip dalam Colemak. Belum lancar. Still belajar.

Yes, I am still learning Colemak. Quite an adventure, it is.

Ok la. Saje menaip ni. Sebab nak kena caj Gary ni ha. Lepas tu oleh sebab dah lama tak menaip kat sini dengan tidak memandang keyboard, maka banyaklah kesilapan huhuhuhuh.

Alhamdulillah tak pergi beli modem baru tadi. Alhamdulillah.

Had so many things to say, but have so little time. Just as an update to my internet-less weeks:
1. Berjaya tonton Miss Ripley, tapi tensen sebab Ep16 tak leh read. Nak dload balik tapi tenet buat pasal.
2. Berjaya tonton Baker King Kim Tak Goo... one of the dramas which I did not press the speed button... rasa macam everything in every scene perlu ditonton betul2 wooheeeee
3. Berjaya menghabiskan novel BM setebal 3 inci... dalam masa yang agak singkat.
4. Berjaya beli buku2 dalam siri No.1 Ladies' Detective Agency
5. Berjaya tonton No.1 Ladies' Detective Agency Ep2 :D
6. Tak berjaya buat blog entries disebabkan perkara2 di atas.

Segment One: The Daily Journals - Day 5

In the mood for watching Running Man

The final day untuk pergi berjalan2 di Seoul. Oleh kerana check-out time pukul 10 pagi, so nak tanak kena la pack siap2 untuk keluar. Barangan tinggal kat bilik Fadi dulu (sebab dia balik KL lambat lagi).

That's my bed over there. Baru clear nak ambik gambar. All these while tak ambik sebab takde housekeeping. Dah nama backpackers. Bilik di sebelah kanan tu ialah bilik air. Yessssss.... satu kangkang je dari katil.

I was not feeling well that morning, while the rest were 'having fun' at Hanok Village.

Yes, Keanu. I feel you.

I'm Back

In the mood for Only You by 2AM punye version

As of now my modem has been running over 24hrs non-stop. Lepaskan geram la katakan. Tapi berharap sangat lepas kasi tidur 6hrs++ dia akan up and running again.

During my hiatus, you should have noticed that I have made some posts (quotes orang lain je sebenarnya) over tumblr. Not that I care if you cared.

Now for my overdue posts. Gaja!

Okay I'm Pissed.

Tak suka betul!
Cerita dah sedap. Memang layannn la bila tengok. Sampai tak sabar2 nak promote kat orang. Tapi tiba2 dah dekat2 episod akhir ada twist yang tak perlu kot??? dan menyakitkan hati.

Dulu biasanya kena terminal illness. Dan selalunye pertengahan cerita dah kasitau. So macam boleh jugak la nak terima... sebab mesti di belakang2 tu ada kaitan.

Tapi sekarang? Macam semata2 nak kasi penuh kuota episod, sumbat jalan cerita tahpape at the end? At the final 2 episodes? Ok tak de la tahpape, tapi macam kalau tak de twist tu mungkin akan membuat cerita tu lebih berbaloi untuk ditonton semula?

Contohnye Heartstrings ni. I love the drama up til diorang habis musical. Tapi tetiba pada episod last-last ni...
- hero sakit tangan, takleh main gitar lagi.
- Lepas tu heroin dapat peluang gi overseas untuk belajar musical.
- Lepas tu hero sorok sakit dia sebab taknak kasi heroin risau.
- Lepas tu heroin tau hero sakit tangan dan menolak peluang untuk ke oversea dan kasitau hero.
- Dan hero ni anggap sendiri sebagai penghalang, jadi suggest breaking up.
- Dan blah.
- Tapi sempat pulak heroin tu grab tangan yang sakit tu, tapi hero tak de pulak terasa sakit.
- Pastu heroin ni kecewa kena berpisah, ambik balik peluang pergi overseas sambil rasa sedih.
- Setahun lepas tu heroin pun balik dari overseas.
- Hero lak dah boleh main gitar balik.
- Lepas tu heroin pun tau kisah sebenar kenapa hero nak break off.
- Lepas tu hero kena marah dengan heroin.
- Lepas tu flashbacks.
- Then finally bersama kembali.

ARGHHHHH!!!! Sibbaikla 10 minit terakhir tu saya suka. Tapi still spoil jugak sebab twist yang tak perlu tu.

Dan juga nasib baik la tak de jadi cam ni lepas heroin tau kisah sebenar:

- Lepas tu jadi balik scene macam diorang memula jumpa.
- Lepas tu fall in love again.

Malas nak fikir ending apa yang appropriate.

But then ending yang ni tak de la ngek macam 49 Days. Tu memang ngek, sampai tak sampai hati nak kutuk kat sini, sebab I like the storyline so much APART FROM THE ENDING. Macam, eh? Adik beradik ke? Eh? Boipren ke? Eh? Anak makcik tu ke? Eh? (Yes, too many 'EH?'s.)

In the mood for Where is The Love? by BEP

Tatkala ini aku berada di Tutti Frutti Wangsa Maju. Menonton MTV sementara menunggu download siap. Tak de la tunggu sampai semua siap, satu je siap pun dah cukup. Tensen dengan internet di rumah. On the way nak datang sini tadi ternampak dua jejaka duduk di bawah payung unifi di depan jalan utama masuk ke taman, tanye la dia kejap bila masa unifi nak masuk ke taman perumahan. Salah seorang dari mereka cakap dah masuk dah semalam. Semalam??? Haisy. Harap2 dalam masa terdekat ni akan dengar la khabar berita yang baik.

Tadi masa sampai, semasa baru on Gary ni, adekku keluar kejap. Kenapa tah, tak tau la. Bukannye pergi merokok sebab adikku memang tidak merokok. Bila masuk balik, dia cakap ada gerhana bulan di luar. Astaga. Tak tahu menahu pun ada gerhana. Selalu ibu cakap, so that boleh buat solat sunat or any ibadah lain. Terlepas lagi peluang untuk tahun ini.

Kalaulah tenetku tidak buat pasal.

In the mood for reflecting the past and looking forward to the future.

1 Muharram 1433H.

Sudah masuk Tahun Hijriah baru.

Walaupun bukan masa untuk menukar buku baru, apa salahnya mulai hari ini kita muhasabah diri dan menambah kekurangan pada tahun yang baru lepas, supaya waktu buku amalan kita diangkat dan diganti nanti diisi dengan lebih pahala dan kebaikan.

Jazakallahu khairan, fi amaanillah.

Sebagai ingatan untuk semua dan diri sendiri:

Amalan bulan muharram.
