I hate family events. I just do. I have the most indecent uncles/aunties.

*: So which Poly are you in right now?
F: I'm in ITE right now but I do intent to go Poly.
*: So you didn't make the requirement points?
F: (Walked away).

Right then and there, I feel as though I'm stupid. Basic stupid. And it's these type of people that I hate that look down on me. Heck, us if I'm standing up for ITEs nationwide. Suddenly, i starting to have the ' me-against-the-world ' mood.

Monday

Rusyaidi and I planned to meet up just to hang out at Bedok Reservoir MacDonalds. So I brought my laptop cos' I suspected we will get bored anyway. Amazingly, we spent our time there checking other people's Facebook profiles and watching ' Hannah Montana: The Movie ' on the net. Yes, we watched the whole thing. I don't know about Rusyaidi but I found the movie really really boring. I do watch Hannah Montana at home( secrectly) and I have to admit the movie was way different than in the series on Disney Channel( Yes, I still do watch cartoons). Anyway, while watching the movie closely, I didn't realise the battery on my laptop was about to finish. And when it did finished, Rusyaidi and I was like shocked when the screen went blank. I actually fully charged the battery the night before. Anyway, there were a lot of people using their laptops at MacD and they used all of the power source available. Rusyaidi and I waited about half-an-hour to wait for some guy to leave so that we can share a power source. After finishing watching the movie, we Webcam-ed Bobby and we had fun. I tried using the PRINTSCRN button but it wouldn't capture. Strangely enough. All and all, we wasted 6 hours at MacD. But it feels even shorter when you're having fun with your bests friend.

Today

After days of anticipation, ' Transformers : Rise Of The Fallen ' has finally premiered in cinemas. Rusyaidi, Muzhafar and Taufiq and I were the 'eager ones' to watch it as early as 12:30pm. I can already hear 'Sanggop sia krg' in the background. Well, most of us are fans of the movie saga. And when we reached there, lines were already formed. The 7:00pm,7:30pm and 8:00pm slots were already boooked. I was amazed at how big this is. It's a must watch if you're a fan. The sad thing is that if you're just beginning to have interest in Transformers, you are more likely to be confuse by this movie. Overall, I give it a 4.5/5. I would have given more but that's just ain't fair.We left the cinema with great satisfaction. Seriously. I bet some of us are gonna watch it again,again and again.

I'm hit with Movie Mania Fever. Help!

2009-06-22T00:25:00.002+08:00

I think I'm coming down with something cos' I feel like vomiting every now and again.
It's 12:31am right now. My eyes are wide open but my brain's about to fall asleep.

Oh, and ATL has a new song. ' Damned If I Do Ya (Damned If I Dont) '. Trust Me. This song's the bomb just like ' Weightless '.

2009-06-19T00:08:00.002+08:00

Okay. I've been procrastinating posting on my blog for quite some time now. But I'm here to say that for the record that my computer was kinda down last week. Technical issues. Go fig. Anyway. my holidays have just started and it's not off to a good start. Let me start from last Saturday.

Alfi, Rusyaidi, Taufiq and I wanted to catch Night At The Museum 2 at the Cathay Cineleisure but it was sold-out by the time we got there. Hannah Montana: The Movie had just rolled in the previews and I was glancing as Rusyaidi as we were deciding on what movie to watch because he told me he actually wanted to see the movie. Yeah. It actually shocked me when he told me. Anyway, we went to watch, "I Love You, Man." It was kinda funny. Basically about a guy whose life is so dedicated to relationships that he has no guy friends. I rate it 4/5. Warning. Do note that movie has a lot of sexual references and the word, FUCK.

My sister and I have been pestering our parents into getting a laptop and since the IT fair was on Sunday, we decided to head down there to purchase our laptops. SEPARATELY. So that means my sister and I won't have to fight for the computer. Plus, I just needed a laptop for school stuff. So, a COMPAQ Presorio CQ40 was bought with an external drive. Just wanna' mention something here. I may seem rich but this is actually money out from my bank account. And, my sister says she's gonna' pay when she has a job. Another words, she'll pay back in like 7334783444 years time. Heh. I'm just being mean.

Monday was seriously the worst possible day if you actually plan to meet friends. Cos' all of them of the sudden got quarantined and are under order from the Ministry Of Health and CISCO. So basically, all of them had to stay at home until 18th June at 8pm. Rusyaidi's case was a bit more complicated. I won't go into it but the main thing is that he's okay and NEGATIVE for the H1 N1 Virus.

Oh yeah, SCREW YOU, Cristiano Ronaldo. Being a spoiled brat that you are. Going to Madrid will underhand your career. Just you wait & see. Meanwhile, I respect Kaka. He went to Madrid to help Milan with financial problems. Heh. Nowadays, loyalty just seems to disappear.

Didn't Faizah go to KL just to see Ronaldo? Wait till she reach there and see there's no CR. Heh.

2009-05-28T20:22:00.004+08:00

This is funny stuff. Trust me.
'How could they vote for that loser that doesn't shave?'
Haha.

2009-05-28T18:42:00.003+08:00

I'm kinda in no mood to blog cos' Manchester United lost 2-0. Spoilt my whole day. But it's okay. Will have a proper post by tomorrow.

The song 'Nobody by Wonder Girls' has been stuck in my head.
" I want Nobody...Nobody but you... clap*clap* "
Urgh!

This is it. Every soccer fan's dream of a European Cup Final. & it's between both my beloved clubs.

In one corner, it's Manchester United. Their style has made them probably the most supported club in the world with their blend of Attack & Defense. This is their second year back in the final and if they win tonight, they'll become the first team in history to win back-to-back Champions League. Dangerman: Cristiano Ronaldo

In the other corner, it's Barcelona. Their style of play mostly consists of Attack with passing as their main weapon. With their passing, they are able to wear teams down which makes it easy to score against opponents. If they win tonight, they'll become the first Spanish team to win 3 trophies in a season. Dangerman : Lionel Messi.

This is a tough one. Last game of the season. It's all come down to this. Winner take all. My heart says Manchester United's gonna' win. But my head says Barcelona's gonna' sneak this and win. It's scary because I support both these teams. But it has to come down the one team. It's gotta be Manchester United. Because I support them all my life. But if Barcelona do win, I won't be too disappointed. Obviously Manchester United has my backing.

__________________________________________________

Happy Birthday, Alfi!

I wanna' wish you luck in the future and in your studies and may you have success wherever you go. I'm sorry if I rejected the chance to go watch Liverpool Vs Singapore. I don't wanna' waste 88 bucks watching a team I ' strongly dislike'. But it's great that Fatin's Mom gonna sponsor you the tickets to be as your Birthday present. You deserve to watch your beloved Liverpool. Once again, Happy Birthday!

Speaking of birthday... mine's coming up in about..ermm.....4 months. Not that I'm stating anything but I wouldn't mind getting like a shirt or something. With my name on the back. I wouldn't mind..... I'm just saying.

2009-05-22T21:22:00.002+08:00

Shocker Of The Week

Kris Allen. It's got to be him. Honestly, who would have thought this guy stood a chance of winning when there's a certain, Mr Adam Lambert, favorite to win? Radio DJs have been debating on this saying that Adam deserves to win and mentioning how he totally nailed the 'We Are The Champions' song. My thoughts? Kris won because he would last further than Adam. Career wise. & there's the gay issue. But I won't go into that.

___________________________________

I'm shocked & disturbed. Firstly, I'm shocked at how the Internet's changing our lifestyles. & Secondly, Mom told me she has a Facebook account. She's like 40+ years of age and she has a Facebook account? Even I don't have a Facebook account. Her reason: To search for her old secondary friends. Just imagine my face when she told me that.

&& Bob's probably the sweetest guy I know. Nono. Cancel that. Bob IS the Sweetest Guy I know.

2009-05-19T18:42:00.004+08:00

Finished school at 12.15pm today. I know. It's waaay early. So I went to Tampines1 Mall to buy a pair of shoes at 'Football Madness' shop. I've been eying it for some time now. When it comes to shoes, I have some sort of a curse. In about 4-5 months time, the front part of the shoe would have a 'mouth'. Meaning the front part of the sole would come off due to the way of how I play soccer. One word: Aggressive. Hopefully, this shoe would last me.

I've finished watching Life Of Ryan Season 2. I've got to say he's preety down-to-earth despite being a skate prodigy and also the youngest skateboard champion at the age of 17. His life is a bit up-and-down with his parents divorcing and such. But it's the way he handles his problems that have me saluting him. Even with skate career going on, he still manages to have time for his friends and family. Watching this have made me have a bit of an interest in skateboarding lately. Who knows? I might try it out. But I think I'll wait. There's still a matter of CYCLING that has to be settled. URGH!

2009-05-17T15:53:00.004+08:00

I wouldn't want to sound cocky or anything but....we are finally CHAMPIONS!
Take that egoistic supporters of Liverpool.
Hah!

2009-05-16T18:51:00.006+08:00

Imagine being cooped up in the hospital ward. For a whole week. With needles being poked into your arms and hands. & no TV.

You could imagine how bored I was at the ward. I practically lived off 'Muttons To Midnight' Radio shows and the New Paper. Other than that, I would either sleep through the day or use the internet on my phone to read other people's blog. Hah. Also, thanks to Rusyaidi & Muzhafar for taking time off from their busy schedule to visit me in the hospital. It was lucky they didn't come at the same time as my parents cause' nowadays they only let in two visitors per patient. All because of the 'Swine Flu' issue.

Anyway, I got discharged on Thursday and it was more of relief if anything. A week in hospital really gave me a new side of reality. My room was shared with 4 other patients. All 4 different & life-changing stories. Probably the most tragic story was the old man next to me. From what I heard, he is suffering lung problems. But that isn't the sad part. The sad part is that he is also suffering of depression from his family problems. His daughters and wife would come about 2 times a week or so. & Before I was discharged, his state was really terrible. Really terrible. So much so that a bunch of doctors came in and demanded he enters MICU. Tragic.

Other than that, I didn't miss much. Just a few Manchester United matches. But hey, it's okay cause' we're already champions:). & American Idol.

He's eliminated? Where's the justice?

2009-04-14T20:00:00.002+08:00

Okay. I know my blog's kinda dead. There's a bunch of factors for that. But there's one major factor why my blog isn't as happening as Bob's, Nureza's Or Fizah's. (Yes, I've been reading your blogs.)

My life's lately been hampered time and again with health problems. I wanna admit that I'm very self-conscious. & that's probably why I haven't been blogging about my problems. People's opinion just apparently matter to me when i know it shouldn't. Truthfully, my holidays have been trips to the hospital and to the clinics. Frequent fevers and such have been the downfall of my holidays. & That's also why I've avoided soccer. My condition discourages me from playing sports, you see. & for me, that just isn't fair. Me without soccer or sports, for that matter, is like fish without water. It just didn't seem fair. I wondered what I did to deserve this.

My parents have been pillars of strength for me to go everyday. Their never-ending support has got me appreciating what great parents I have. And nowadays, I have feelings that I've been a burden to them. It hurts. Sort of to say, I'm helpless.

I miss the old days. The days where we often goof off in class. Hanging out after class to play soccer and such. These are currently the memories I hold dearly. Rusyaidi is my bestfriend and not communicating with him as much as we used to is difficult. I just wanna' say that I appreciate what great friend you are and I miss having our chats. Bob's the one I would miss also. Probably the coolest and funniest friend you could ever have. But it's his heart that seperates him from the others. Nureza's been another great friend of mine. I mean, you can rarely find friends like her nowadays. Down-to-earth and kindhearted are all great traits of hers. Oh, and she gives great relationship advice.

I just wanna say that 'Life Changes'. It's like 'One day you feel you can do almost anything in life, the next you are handicapped'. So, forgive me for not posting regularly. I'll promise I'll try to post but not problems of mine. Also, forgive me if I don't respond to tags that ask how I am. I don't like talking bout' myself. I just don't.

2009-04-10T20:38:00.002+08:00

1-3
Egos bruised, Liverpool fans?
Hah.
That's what I thought.
Finally, what goes around comes around.
Thank God.

2009-03-30T14:53:00.002+08:00

Went to Nureza's blog and out of boredom, I went to do the quiz. Interestingly enough, mostly what it says about me are 100% true. Especially the part on how I view on success.

Your view on yourself:

You are down-to-earth and people like you because you are so straightforward. You are an efficient problem solver because you will listen to both sides of an argument before making a decision that usually appeals to both parties.

The type of girlfriend/boyfriend you are looking for:

You like serious, smart and determined people. You don't judge a book by its cover, so good-looking people aren't necessarily your style. This makes you an attractive person in many people's eyes.

Your readiness to commit to a relationship:

You are ready to commit as soon as you meet the right person. And you believe you will pretty much know as soon as you might that person.

The seriousness of your love:

Your have very sensible tactics when approaching the opposite sex. In many ways people find your straightforwardness attractive, so you will find yourself with plenty of dates.

Your views on education

You may not like to study but you have many practical ideas. You listen to your own instincts and tend to follow your heart, so you will probably end up with an unusual job.

The right job for you:

You're a practical person and will choose a secure job with a steady income. Knowing what you like to do is important. Find a regular job doing just that and you'll be set for life.

How do you view success:

You are afraid of failure and scared to have a go at the career you would like to have in case you don't succeed. Don't give up when you haven't yet even started! Be courageous.

What are you most afraid of:

You are concerned about your image and the way others see you. This means that you try very hard to be accepted by other people. It's time for you to believe in who you are, not what you wear.

Who is your true self:

You are full of energy and confidence. You are unpredictable, with moods changing as quickly as an ocean. You might occasionally be calm and still, but never for long.

2009-03-28T21:43:00.004+08:00

Okay. I know it's been like forever since I've posted something on my blog. Yeah. I do realise that my blog is pretty much dead. But I convinced myself that I'm gonna keep posting during the holidays. Just to keep myself busy.

Anyway, Earth Hour was to me a success. I managed to join the whole world in turning off the lights at 8:30pm-9:30pm. Looking out the window, majority of houses at the flats were dark. Needless to say that Earth Hour was huge in my area. Nureza did invite me to go to Esplanade to witness the historic moment. But it was too late cause' I didn't realize that my phone had received a text message. Oh yeah, I learned that there's a BNSS Fiesta today. Almost went there but I was just too lazy to get out of the house. In the end, I watched the first F1 Qualifying Round at Melbourne on Cable all day. And I'm gearing myself to watch the World Cup Qualifiers tonight and tomorrow night. So expect some black rings round me eyes. I just love the holidays!

2009-03-01T14:48:00.005+08:00

I've been extremely bored this week. I've got an extra week of MC ever since I got back from the hospital. Yes, I did type Hospital. But, more on that later. I've been moping around the house generally. From Computer to TV To Xbox, I began to drown with boredom. So much so that I caught this whole week's episodes of 'Anak Metropolitan 2' at 4pm every weekdays. Yes, I admit. I currently have no life.

Nureza : oh okay.. haha. what have you been up to these days?

Me : home. bored to death really.

Nureza : haha. why didn't you find something to do?

Me : like what?

Nureza : hmm, something like... do housework? or maybe... watch shows online?

Me : i've been like watching'anak metropolitan' on suria at 4 nowadays.

Nureza : tit tit stit tit. HAHAHAHAHA

Me : HAHAHA

Nureza : kelakar gile sia that cerite. not kelakar as in what lah.. but, kelakar because of their dumb and exaggerating actions. -.-

Me : yeah.and to think we used to watch this show as if we wanted to be like m....

Nureza : precisely. hahahah.

It's true. I remember one of my classmates declaring himself being 'Remy'. Seriously. And whenever I watch the show, I will have chuckles thinking back to my ex-classmate. Haha.

Anyway, besides watching TV, I did manage to watch 80% of Slumdog Millionaire on the Internet. It's really a fantastic movie and they deserve to get a bunch of Oscars they got nominated for. I didn't get to watch the last 20% cause' it got corrupted. I think. Now, I'm stuck on Jamal answering the final question on India's version of 'Who wants to be a Millionaire'. AHH!
I NEED TO KNOW WHAT HAPPEN IN THE END!!

& lastly, I wanna' say a bunch of 'Thank You' to my friends. I really appreciate you guys sms-ing me when I was warded in hospital. It means the world to me. So for once, Thank You!

2009-02-10T14:36:00.005+08:00

Dear Readers, what you are about to read is a very personal letter from the Author to God. Please be sensible and sensitive to what is written cause' the author is desperately in need of divine intervention.

Simplysyam@blogspot

DEAR GOD,

I don't usually write letters to you but it is the utmost importance that I do it this way. Cause' , I realized that I've done too many things that are sinful. I wish to ask for forgiveness from you.

Firstly, I've been raging wars against everyone including myself. I don't know what's wrong with me. Lately, I've been so restless. Too restless. I can't sleep at night. I can't concentrate in class. And recently, tears just happen to flow from my eyes when I start to reflect on myself. Yes, god. You're probably thinking ' why should I help this guy? ' . I admit I am not religious. Even after my parents had entered me into a religious class. It is my deepest regret. But I'm here to say that I want to change. I know by just writing this to you, it wouldn't be enough. But believe me. I'm about to change my ways.

Secondly, I've been sick for quite a while now. And it hurts. Hurts badly. I've got no one to talk to about this. I can't talk to my classmates at school cause' we're not close. & my close friends are currently scrambling their minds on their upcoming O' levels. Only the computer have been my friend for the past few weeks. I am calling out to you, God, to help and guide me past these difficult stages of my life. Please. It's not been easy. My health isn't at its peak if you know what I mean. And having people asking me whether I'm okay or not has been a constant. I don't like people asking me that. So please, help and guide me to be better. Physically and mentally. Insyallah.

And thirdly, please look over and bless my friends that are in need.

AMIN.

Pulled out from the Archives.
Enjoy!

2009-01-24T22:16:00.002+08:00

Yesterday was fun. Let's start from the top, shall we.

My class had a class trip to Orchard Road. Yes, Orchard Road. We were there to take pictures & info for the making of Brochures mainly for the Chinese New Year. It was fun. Being the photographer, that is. We were dismissed at 11.30am and took the train with Fatin back. I stopped at Eunos. Took bus 60 & as always I'm with my earpieces. About 3 stops before the Mosque, there was a huge number of Bedok North Secondary students packing the bus. I sat way back, on the left, when suddenly someone beside me stared at me. I just felt someone staring at me and turned. Some Secondary 4 girls were waving. I didn't recognised them. I took down my earpiece and waved back. Just a show of respect. Heh. It's good to get recognised once in a while.

Anyway, went to Mosque and met up with Muzhafar, Rusyaidi, Tuafiq, Hadi and Alfi. I had literally a bunch of questions about what's been happening at school. I think there was a point where some of them got irritated. Heh. They also told me of the 'Yellow Card System' which to me is crappy. I heard Bob 'got a yellow' for his shoes. Anyway, we headed to Mac afterwards. Unfortunetly, Muz & Taufiq went back home early. So it was just me, Rusyaidi & Alfi. Actually, Alfi was there for about 5 minutes then he went to cut his hair. Then, It was just me & Rusyaidi. We chatted a lot about how school was and even CCAs have to become a regularity. As for me, I'm really clueless as to what CCA to go for. He suggested for me to take Floorball. I'm still undecided on this.

Anyway as we're going to the bus stop, people at the Takraw court were shouting at us. Arif, Sharir, Yunos, Muhaimin,Qushairy, Nashriq and Nabil's Bro( can't rmbr his name) were all there. Playing Takraw as always. We ended up playing for about a few hours. After one by one went back, it was just left with me, Rusyaidi, Sharir, Muhaimin and Yunos. Soon after, Naim & Hifzhan joined us. I learned that Hifzhan joined soccer and became a Right-Back. I was like shocked and really proud at the same time. Hey, he's from Skudai FC( got no idea where they got the name from ). Infact, we've got 3 representatives. Fhamy, Hifzhan and Naim. All products of Skudai FC. Heh. Anyway, we played soccer afterwards. I've missed playing soccer with them. It's been a long time. The only one missing all of this is BOB! It's been a while since I've met Bob. How I miss that cute,big bear. Hah.

2009-01-17T21:29:00.002+08:00

Lately, my schedule's been a bit hectic. And my timetable's not helping with no fixed timings for the subjects. It's been roughed for me at first cause' I don't go to school taking the bus and I'm almost half-and-hour late for the day's first class. But I'm told I'll have to get used to it. Somehow.

To tell you the truth, Mechanical Engineering wasn't my ideal course to go to. It's not that I don't like the course but I don't actually intend to be an engineer. I have an uncle who works in SIA as an engineer.Yes, he earns lots of money and engineering has lots of job prospects but I never wanted to be an engineer. I have always wanted to be in Psychology. I have a passion for it and it's always a fascination for me. I remembered the day where I had to apply for courses in ITE. My sister had asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I said 'Psychology'. She then said that I had to be realistic and go for ones that have a lot of job prospects. It broke me inside. To actually hear my own sister saying that I have to be 'realistic'. It just killed me inside.

I had actually asked my Class Advisor if there was a way that I could totally change my course if I were to go to Poly. She said it would be almost impossibe. She said Polys would only take ITE students that are already in the same course. Meaning that Psychology would never be a reality for me. Dreams change. Dreams do change. It could be changed in 2 ways. It's either YOU want it to change or SOMEONE will change it for you. Sadly, my dreams are at a lost. There hasn't been a day where I would like to turn to the day where I did my N's and wished I did a whole lot better. Apparently for me, 1 point changed my dream from becoming a Psychologist
into an Engineer.

And as my O' level pal chose his courses, I stood beside him wishing that I'd be in his position. How contrasting isn't it from a year ago? It's just unbelievable. I just hope my ex-classmates do well in this year's O' Levels. And hope they achieve what they intended to be.

'A Picture’s Worth a Thousand Words'

I give you, Mechanical Engineering!

2008-12-31T22:20:00.003+08:00

The year 2008 is about to end in about 2 hours time. So, it's about time I reflect on 2008.

2008 has been both good & bad at the same time. Good, in the sense of gaining new stuff. Like a new phone to replace the old, scratched & spoiled phone. I also got a Nike bag which I've been eying for a while. Eventually,Alfi & Fatin bought the bag as a present.But the bad times.. I've gotta say the moment I got my results for N' Levels. I was practically hyped up about getting the results. 30 minutes after that, I was storming out of the halls with my eyes filled with tears. I've got 11 points. 3-4-4. Everyone was expecting me to go to Sec 5. Some thought I was joking with them. Subsequently, I've moved on and I know now it's all down to me. To go to Poly or not. With this failure, I'll be mentally toughen-up. And about 2 years in ITE will do me some good. Back to 2008, I think I cherish the memories. The Water Soccer competition & the trip to MacRitchie Reservoir will be remembered dearly. Also, celebrating National Day at the Marina with Aizat & the gang and learning to ride a bike (eventhough I've no confidence in riding on my own) at ECP.

Strange isn't it?
2008's gonna end and I'm not gonna miss it one bit. & don't get me started on what's my resolutions for 2009. I usually don't go through with my resolutions. Hah. Go figure.

2008-12-30T20:46:00.000+08:00

I'm BACK !
