I am so tired, unhygienic and tended to become so damn lazy. Just got up from a "long" rest and he still got a lot of chores needed to be done. Sigh!

Seek out peace and serenity in Labuan


Labuan is not that interesting. Labuan is lame. You would’nt find any interesting skyscrappers like the Menara Kuala Lumpur instead of my own Menara UMS-KAL (Universiti Malaysia Sabah-Kampus Antarabangsa Labuan). For the sake of shopping’s heaven, let us call Labuan as not a place to be. Despite the famous Pavillion and even Alamanda Putrajaya, can somebody tell me do they know Ujana Kewangan really is. For public transportation purpose, unlike Rapid KL and LRT, Bas Mini No.4 seems to be the only working-engine mobile that could travel the road. Still can’t figure out why they’re numbering the bus.
Labuan seems to be way left behind in a sense of development and attention compared to Kuala Lumpur and Putrajaya. Not much did and done impose to the city of Labuan cause this federal territory as if not exist.I admit that there are some architectural building like the Mosque of Labuan which can be proud of. But what else? Me being cynical, but that’s the truth. Coming from an urban background from a modern city, it is hard to swallow the fact that Labuan is a place that I’m going to spend on for another two years for a degree in E-commerce. Well, at least, thank god it is not longer than that.
Then, where is that sentence actually of me saying, “Selamat Datang ke Labuan” and junky words saying nice things about Labuan.
Well actually, there is this one day when me having some chit chat with my Japanese lecturer, Mr Fujishima. It was a shocked to me when he directly said that (with his Japaneese ascent),“I want to end my life in Labuan”. I was like “WHAT!”. It can be a nearly misunderstood sayings but has a deep meaning in it. How it couldn’t possibly be? A very small island of 92 km2(a federal territory) which you can find zero traffic. Having a population of approximately 85 000 where everyone (especially the citizens) can determine whether you are new or not there. Surrounded by seas which everytime you travel along the coast, it is the most perfect scenary to have.
Personally, the one thing I really like the most is the beach. Located along side the UMS-KAL, the beach is the place that I seek peace. You can even walk from the campus and reach the beach in no time. It is so close, I can assure you. Really like the moment where we’re having some picnic at the beach and fooling around. The picnic was okay but frequently done. My purpose of study in Labuan at once seems to turned out to be a vacation in Labuan, almost everyday. Haha… There also, you can capture a very warm scenary and feeling like no place other.
For some people, it is so hard to define how the perfect place should really be. Once they experiencing the unfamiliarity, instantly they punish the place as not a place to be. But for others, the perfect place is define as how you fit in and accept thing in whatever condition they are. As Irony as it is..At the end, I prefer to be in the lame Labuan.
p/s: Not promoting the duty-free shopping and cheap seafood. But highly recommended.

Kakyong...jangan lah merajuk!
The blames on me! I admit.
Didn't notice that my lacks of appreciation sulks kakyong's mood away.
Well....by the fact that me didn't posting (well anything) about my birthday's present that she gave.
Okay, where to start. Even doing this (blogging), I realized that me wasn't anticipated much to arrange my sentence well. Eyes bruising. Nights getting dark. Me sleepy. (OK2... semangat pujuk kakyong).
I was damn happy for my birthday. There are NINE REASONS why?! Sangat straight to the point.
1. Fall on the same day of Eid Adha. (Blessing days).
2. It was Friday. (double-blessings). Haha...
3. An opportunity to be with the whole BIG family. Everyone was there. That's what I'm trying to say.
4. Overwhelm by countless wishes gave from friends. (via SMS, calls, facebook, friendster...) The credit must be given to my own Shafuku this time, as he was the first to exactly reach me and wish me.
5. I had a BEN-10's birthday cake. WTH! Full sponsorship by Nadhrah. K lah, tqz. I never had a printed animation's character on the top of my birthday cakes. Lolz.
6. Nokia 5130 Xpress Music (MAMA).
7. RM800++ spent over my IT tools (ABAH).
8. Casio Edifice EF-316D-1 AV (Kakyong).
9. Volswagen Beetle. Maybe a Kenari Sport car. PSSH!
NINE (Actually I didn't yet figure out what is the ninth factor that makes me proud of). Tapi secara skemanya, I had a good health, everything went smoothly on that day, nothing went wrong. All that matters is that I was able to celebrate the joy with almost each person that I love the most.
10. Lupa lak, "some" amount of money that Ayah gave into my account. TQ ayah.
Erm...this post that you're reading right now were all about credits. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU. ARIGATOU! SYUKRAN!
KAKYONG!
I've googled the watches already. And without looking at the numbers, I already knew from the day that I open the present that it cost plenty of RMs. The reason that I kept the watches, still, in the box were because 1. It has been years I haven't wear one. 2. Me. Kept inside the house definitely didn't require you to wear it around. I hope you understand my simple portion of reasoning.
Jangan merajuk eh... :) I've posted already.
p/s: Thinking of posting like this would makes thing worst. Oops!

New Phone. New Notebook... New House?



Abah got his new brand Lenovo (which I wasn't actually sure what typeit is) from his company for his upcoming birthday present. And this time, it has became the smallest notebook in the house. His Berlagak is for sure common. And the rest is usual. Abah already has countless notebook already. Believe it or not each members of the house has one themselves already, from Abah's pocket money, including Adriana. Not to mention, broken one which just need some simple service, desktops, and what he has already. We are blessed with computers. Amin. Whatever it is, Rezeki.
My action yesterday of scrutinized and ruined the "memang tak leh pakai" phone that stranded-dusty in the cupboard has caught Mama's attention. Actually, I am just looking for any phone that might (110% possibilities that for sure damn cannot work)/can be used for my second number. The one that I already have was "KONG" million times. It keeps on ON and OFF. As for my primary number, still kept in my 1110 Nokia, actively. Although it has massively corroded by sweats and frictions (I mean the keypad, the one that left just buttons without the numbers & symbols), but it still working out impressively well. It has been 5 years.
So, as I woke up this morning...
"Afif, jom nanti kita cari phone baru untuk Afif", accompanied by a smile on her face. I was just smiling back inside without excitedly showing it, afraid that, being over-reacted about something might cause you lost.
She added,"Tapi bawah RM500 jer tau"...."Not more than that".
It's Okay Mom. We can negotiate about that. Alah, RM500++ (which might turn into 7/8/9 still not far away from the number). Right!! Haha....
To shorten the story, at last, we got this Nokia Express Music 5130, which has all the necessary. Thank god, Mama..... I'll be a good boy.
Another thing is that, today, the Enstek Property uphold an event to sell the property to any interested buyers. House, Shop-house.... are the product. We.... is their aim.
Abah has gotten his senses since before that he wanted (as badly as it could be) to buy a house-property in Enstek. The Bungalow was damn gorgeous. So as the money flow. Until this very moment, he/we couldn't decide. :/
