A blog revolves around the life of a Singaporean. Visual through my eyes of the joy, happiness, struggle and tears. A student of life and a believer of principles. Live and let live and learn to forgive. In the end, the onus is ours

A New Day
Disclaimer: Prior to this day, this blog has documented my life since secondary school till 2013. The frequency of update got worst as time passes. That aside. I have the intent to update the blog as of this year onwards. It is not going to be of high frequency per se, but it will be a documentation of my life as I progress till old age.
About Me:
That's me alright. Face full of facial hair with my shades that has been with me since 2010? God knows. Let's begin with a proper introduction to all netizens.
A Singaporean who started seeing his first light in the year 1990. Gets a year older in the month of November. I wasn't born with a silver spoon in my mouth. I started seeing the nitty-gritty of life when I turn 12. Coming from a family that is not complete, I knew how hard my family members had to struggle to meet ends meet. With that, I make an attempt every single day to be thankful for whatever I have in life. Be it small or big.
I'm left with 6 months in my degree path at Newcastle University. I wasn't fond of studying but figure I could make my mom happy by achieving this degree. I may not know what I genuinely want after completing this degree but as for now, I would love to be a technician in a motorcycle shop. But in Singapore context, I would be overqualified then.
Being a hands on person, studies have not been smooth sailing. I just can't help but to fix stuff. Give me a box full of LEGO bricks and I will be like a child who just entered Disneyland. This itself speaks of my personality. An introvert by nature, I embrace serenity. The days of cigarettes and clubbing are a story of the past. I look forward to heart-to-heart talks and I was brought up to always speak well of others no matter how much I dislike them.
Although an introvert by nature, meeting new people are pretty much second nature. I won't shy away from meeting new people, be it through social media or a new colleague. I have so much to learn in this short life that is lent to me by God. But then again, it has always been quality over quantity for me. I abscond myself from people who are very much a pessimist and those who lack morals as these people can really drain your mental and emotional energy at an amazing rate.
Speaking of energy, I would love to invest my energy while I have to learn a lot of stuff. As some would say it, knowledge is power. Being bilingual in language is not enough for me. I would love to learn Arabic, Mandarin and Turkish. This has been put on hold for so many years. A procrastinator. Funny how my greed lies in the quest of knowledge rather than food.
Basically that is to it about me. I chose not to delve deeper. As time passes with more entries made, you would have a better impression on my personality. Before I continue, I can never grasp the concept of grammar and its error. Do highlight my errors in the comment section. Will truly appreciate it. (:
As of now, I am holding double part time job at XXX and YYY while doing my full time studies. With my exams on the 13th, 15th and 22nd January, I am taking a short break from work and focusing on my studies. Believe me, everything is manageable. Keep my heads up and focus and, God willing, all will be well.
Till the next post, blog soon.
I'm down with a fever on New Year. Oh my dayum~

Another step to being strong
Try loving someone who brings you closer to God.
Try loving someone who brings out the better Muslim in you.
Try loving someone who wakes you up for Fajr.
Try loving someone who treats you like a husband from the start...
Try finding someone who does that from the start and you will be in my shoes.
Subconsciously, I love her not because of her itself, I love her because of her desire to be closer to God.
Masha'Allah, if the above are not enough, try finding someone who has the purest of hearts with outstanding beauty. Beauty with the hijab.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This has got to be one of the toughest tests of Qadar.
Ya Allah
Grant me strength and patience to move on from this chapter of my life.
Open my chest and open my heart to accept this fate.
Ameen.
“If you depend on Allah with due reliance, He would certainly give you provision as He gives it the birds who go forth hungry in the morning and return with a full belly at dusk.” [Tirmidhi]
Allah will provide for you but you have to get up and get moving again. Just like the birds, go out and seek. Make the effort on your part and leave the rest to Allah and His infinite wisdom.

Ramadhan 1434H
I came across a Facebook photo shared by a friend on his timeline. The photo shows a Daily Training Program of a Mujahideen. And wow, even in war, in their timetable, they allocated time for the Fardhu Prayers. Hats off to them.
With the above-mentioned said, I believe it's best for me to have my Ramadhan timetable to allocate my time well and fully utilize it. God willing I'm able to adhere to it as much as I could.
Ramadhan 1434H:

There is no I Can't, Only I Won't
What instigated me to read the book was to pass time during my first day training. Didnt expect to complete the whole 66pages within two hours. Fyi, i got the book as a gift during a wedding i attended to at Ar-Raudhah Mosque.
Anyway, I highly recommend you to read it. I read it to further my knowledge on my own religion.
Okay, now, i had an agenda for today's post. You know why I admire footballers a lot. Not because they are earning big bucks. It is because of their drive to succeed.
Look at them and compare to us, compare to you pansy. They work hard for their footballing dreams. Other than that, they are not the typical footballers who only worked their profession. They have degrees, PhD, masters or anything synonymous under their belts. Take Ryan Giggs as an example. He is a professional football player who is ageing towards 40. He still have the drive to play, albeit on the bench most of the time. He still have time to ace his studies. Heck, he even have time to be a player and banging people's spouse.
See what i mean. Nothing is too late to start. Im glad i have started on my 6-7hours sleep per day. Im glad to know i have time to exercise before heading to work. Im glad to know i have time to read my books after work.
We are so adamant with our conscious mind decisions that we barely push ourselves to the limit. We rationalize way too often. There is no "I Can't" , only "I won't."
I do hope with constant prayers and efforts, im willing to outdo myself. I dream big. My ambitions are big. Now i need everlasting big ass efforts to achieve my dreams and ambitions. In shaa Allah, i will. In shaa Allah.

Embrace Change
Good morning netizens.
First and foremost, i am glad thereis a blogger application. Easier to blog on the go, albeit no colours and highlights. Just a simple and direct UI.
Secondly, my body clock has readjusted to this current state of mine. Waking up at 0640hrs, prayers, then power sleep till 0900hrs. Have to change the sleep schedule come monday. Working schedule is out and got to squeeze in my core exercises. Have to maintain my body and fitness. Learn to love yourself chiko. (;
And lastly, read the comment made by Austin Tan on ITE students. This is one prime example of people who are smart. They can use it for studies but never utilize it in other aspects. Shallow human being. He should bother mix around with ITE students. Everyone is bad differently so never play God and judge.
Need i remind this guy that Adam Khoo himself was a failure before he became a millionaire?
Such ignoramus. Anyway, a qucikie update in the morning. Got to give my legs a good stretch. Everyday super workout aches all over the body. (:
Taking the care.

Driven to Blog
It struck me that I had this blog for one purpose. This blog is my own memory lane. Heck, I regret deleting some pictures of my blog from my phone. Now there are posts with missing pictures. Too late to cry over spilt milk. Hopefully, I will keep updating as much as I can. A never-ending endeavour.
So let's start afresh with today, 11/10/2012...
I got the job as a part time Game Peripheral Tester. Sound awesome but my job scope are to pinpoint defects and errors on new gaming prototype. In case you wonder what is a game peripheral. An example of game peripheral is a controller. It ranges from Gaming Mouse, keyboard, headphones and etceteras. Anything gadgets/devices that are utilized for gaming are considered as Gaming Peripherals.
Pay wise, quite low but I am thankful I got this job. I have a source of income for the time being. It's located at Chai Chee so I can drop by and visit my dad whenever he's home. No excuses this time since my workplace is 5minutes away from his home.
Alhamdullilah I have a job now.
Training commences on Monday at Alexandra Road and Tuesday onwards, you are able to find me at Chai Chee. It's a one-month contract. I will go through this full one-month and try to get as much OT as possible. Hopefully within this one month, I get a call from Showa Denko or Mitsubishi. Leaning more on Showa Denko than Mitsubishi.
- Showa Denko provides company transport from Yishun MRT (BONUS)!!!
- Showa Denko's starting salary for fresh graduates are $1.9k, excluding OT and shift allowance
- Showa Denko provides uniform since it's a regimental company. No worries about clothings.
- Mitsubishi is an established company for ages.
- Mitsubishi's post of Engineering Assistant is a permanent night shift job. AWESOME!
- Mitsubishi should have a higher starting pay due to night shift. Yet to include allowance.

End of Two Chapters
After sending her home, that last forehead kiss, I walked away quickly. That part of me wanted to convince her to stay but there are tell-tale signs even if she stays, things will just end badly. Maybe it ring a bell or two when the saying "Sometimes things have to fall apart to make way for better things."
I was doing well moving on when she texted me asking how I was after I self-skidded. I sort of "melted" knowing that she bothered to ask my well-being. After that, I realized that it is not doing me any good. I was on the verge of moving on and her text just came in, and I had a 180degree turn of attitude. I consult friends and a motherly colleague that I truly treasure and I had to do something to help me in moving on.
And after going through her Instagram and Facebook for one final time, I decided to delete her off both accounts. That sense of relief is there, you know knowing that she won't pop up in my news feed. For Facebook wise, it's hard to avoid. Be it I delete her off, both of us share the same friends and she is bound to pop up in my news feed one way or another. Photo tagging, comments, etceteras.
Well, God Willing I will move on. A friend told me, doesn't matter if she move on or she got a new boyfriend first because it is her gain and not your loss. Your part of the story with her is done and you should be moving on. Makes a hell lot of sense. Time will tell if I am able to move on. This is like no other flings/relationship I had mainly because I knew I gave all I had but it just didn't work out.
Le sigh. End of Chapter.
Another end of chapter was yours truly is ORD. This happy moment is marred by the above chapter.
Sad notes aside, I got to start living and build my body back up. I have been neglecting my personal well-being for quite awhile now.
I better start moving on, I better start living life, I better start being happy, I better start to be fit.
In the wise words of 'Ghost'
Let's do this.

Road-less
Then the realization sets in, you need a job to survive. I have yet to find a job. After all those planning on paper, I didn't even materialize a single idea that was jot down on paper. I'm screwed. Here comes the issue where my mom wants me to sign on. Well, it is not an issue. I love patrolling. One of the highest starting pay, job security is there, pay increment is there every year and etceteras. Even with all these perks laid on the table in front of me, it is still not enough to tempt me to make an immediate decision to sign on. I should probably perform a prayer. We Muslims have this prayer called Solat Istikharah. I'm not good with explaining this, maybe you can click on the link to give a read and have a clearer picture on what I mean.
Resume at 2210hrs. That was quite awhile. Went out without bringing my phone. Downside of using Galaxy Note. Charging hours varies from 4 - 8hours. PFFTS!
I intend to delve deeper about my Hari Raya but I will skip it. I have come to terms that my brother is an idiot. Yes, you read it right. I broke my own code and oath to not talk about my family over any form of social network or to any outsiders. So please people, don't ask me about him. I am just too tired answering already. Even though our relationship is strain, I will still carry him down to his grave if God decided to take him away first rather than me. Why? He is still my brother.
I will cut off my post now. My relationship with my princess have reached to a point of, I don't know. I am tired of fighting. Sad to know that I'm being looked upon as taking her for granted. Le sigh.
Good night netizens.

Can't get enough of the huge ass screen and panoramic pictures. Till then, off to my books.
And, I hope you know I want to make it right...

Pessimism
25 May 2012
Powerless
All I could think of, honestly, hell. Yeah, hell. Being burn alive, skin peeling off slowly. Subconsciously, I said a prayer. I was afraid, very. Seeing their state and knowing that there will be heaven and hell afterlife, I don't think anyone would love to be in a situation as they do.
Just need to let this out. I don't think I can get this image out of my mind in a few days to come. Things like this don't come by easily. I need to rest. Probably an early sleep would suffice...

One post per month [Le Promise]
Lately, things have not been going well for me. Reality is harsh but I thank God for giving me the faith to keep calm and stay strong.
At times, I can't bear to stay home due to internal conflicts. The fact that I always turn to my mom is so unappealing. I hate to trouble her, but at times like this, I can't help myself but to pour my sorrows out.
Don't get me wrong here. I love my family, I do. But at times I can't help but to see someone laze around the house doing nothing. My brother is turning 23 this year and I dare say, he forgot how to be thankful and grateful. How I wish, whenever he's inside his room, he will emulate what I do when I am in my room. Just lay back and gather thoughts. Just be thankful and grateful for all the stuff you have in your room.
I dare say, at my current condition, or worse his, we can't even afford a single thing in our current room. Who can go around boasting having a 42" TV in their room?
I'm sad, truly am. I have given up talking to my brother. He just cannot accept what I say when it's inevitably true. I just came across his post stating that he is sick and tired of hearing to her rants. If the "her" is direct to our mother, I don't know how delusional and idiotic he has become.
I told mom, if he's a rich, i don't bother about his life cause he will have an easy life. But now, we have only one another.
I went to the extent to not even waking him up for Friday Prayers. Yes I sin, true. But how far can I go? He needs to wait for me to wake him up and then he will go to prayers? Or does he need my bike to actually to travel to the mosque? Whatever it is, I told mom I won't pamper him anymore. There's a limit to everything, and I cannot stand ill-discipline people.
I'm done with my rant, will update this space soon. Insya'Allah...

A Day With Elly (R15)
Great learning experience. Still haven't finish touching up though. Sticker residues are such a bitch. Already spent two morning trying to clear it up. Manage to clear 1/4 of the fairing this morning. Hopefully able to clear everything come morning.
Oh by the way, I wanted to respray my bike white BUT GUESS WHAT?!?!?! Sandpapers are hard to find! Those finer grains wet-or-dry sandpaper don't come by easily. Not forgetting they come with a price too. Maybe when I have more off-days, I will commence with the project of respraying my bike. As for now, just leave it BLUE and focus on the interior. To those who are interested, this is a very good video below. Youtube, why you teach me a lot?
Off the bike issues, back to materials. See this watch below, I doubt it's available in Singapore. Sad much. Will search high and low when I have ample amount of time in hand. Citizen Eco-Drive Nighthawk. Lé Séxy.

Guess who's back
So yeah, here I am, back to blogging. It's been awhile, I know.
Subconsciously, writing makes my mind work. And ever since I enlisted in September, I have not been reading good books and have not been writing. Please exclude all Police terms and Logsheet. That doesn't qualify as legit writings. Heck, recording statements uses Basic English. No wonder at times I find myself brain-dead.
I'm still astounded. Looking at the date of my previous post which was in 2010. Heck, a hell load of occurrence can happen within a year. When was the last time I played an actual soccer match? Can't even recall. When was the last time I visit my dad, don't even remember.
Speaking of him, he was present during my dental surgery. Nothing much to say to him. Can't blame. Male egos. On paper, I can say I love him so but I've yet to walk the talk. It hurts though, seeing that old-man. Working his ass off in this money-society. That, women, is still staying with him. More of a burden to my dad in my view. If she wasn't around, I wouldn't mind visiting and staying with my dad.
Anger aside, it's not a good excuse for me to avoid dad due to another party. I don't know why or how I'm suppose to do it but all I can say, visiting him during Hari Raya is never enough and visiting him every week will never be enough.
Miracles happen? Well I hope my mom and dad get back together at some point in the future. Fat hopes but weird things happened before, so yeah.
Heck, enough of negativity on my returning blogpost. [I is awesome].
Finally went for my dental surgery after that unfortunate mishap that occurred in 2006. Good to know I'm going to get it done. Sure as hell it hurts but if it's good in the long run, I am all in. Next appointment will be on Friday, let's hope my healing progress is going strong. Good to know I've yet to disclose a single information to any of my friends yet. (:
Well, that's all for today. Not much to write but at least these fingers are running strong. Typing skills [rust] eradicated, English usage still acceptable. Don't mention grammar, still suck at it. Must improve, I may suffer if I further my studies. 0.0
Ouh, if you do drop by and you have read to this final paragraph, please say a prayer for me that I will get a spot in SIT for me to pursue my education. Amin. (:

Graduation Week
No more school related stuffs need to worry about except for returning the graduation gown.
Graduation ceremony and dinner is over and done with. Now I need is space and time to collect and compose myself for something I've never done. I will upload some pictures here for graduation dinner (fat hopes). Either that, it will be up on my multiply. Take cares.

Love Game
We mess around. Laugh and play.
Have fun. Share secrets. Tell stories.
Crying shoulders to keep our sad face.
Holding hands like we are lovers.
Think about forever. Forever of us.
But we don't fall in love.
The first one who does, loses

Angels Cry
Why should we doubt Ne-Yo? Immaculate verse. (:
Didn't always treat you right but it was OK. I do somethin' stupid and you still stay with me
But you can only go for so long. Doing the one you claim to love wrong
Before too much is enough. You look up. Find your love gone
And
We were so good together
How come we could not weather this storm and just do better
Why did we say goodbye

Abandoned Railway marked on another day.
As the title state it, didn't drop by the abandoned railway. The heavy rain on Saturday night till Sunday morning made it impossible for us to trek our way there. Muddy path for a few good snaps? Nah. Maybe next time will do. (: Whatever it is, a fruitful Sunday. But I'm still so adamant of crossing that bridge. Anyway, let the pictures do the talking.
