Yeah, it’s that special day once again today and here I am writing an update at 3 o’clock in the morning. I just hope that I don’t miss the Eid prayer later this morning as it is a very special prayer that comes once a year. Eid doesn’t really bring anything particularly special to me cause the fact that I am still alone this year and it would be awkward to go to my friend’s houses alone unlike previous years before. Nonetheless, be it any status that I hold right now, I would still be running around my friend’s houses in the spirit of Eid itself and try to be cheerful for the moment.

**********

I would be returning to campus somewhere in Friday or Saturday this week which I couldn’t wait because I wanted to do something and keep myself busy as I am tired of all the holiday that had been going for like months already. I wanted a fresh new start this semester as well as be much more focus on my subjects rather than focusing on something else. I learnt a lot this semester break and it made me think for quite some time to analyse and make the best choices. I realize that the true meaning of friends and how naive I was before to trust people easily and that is why people kept stepping on me. I now know how the surrounding looks like and trust me when I say that I am no longer the person I was before.

**********

I am gonna keep this post short as I need to get some sleep for tomorrow. It’s gonna be hectic and I hope I can move on with ease tomorrow. I really miss the feeling of working and celebrating Eid at the same time because I would have a lot of cash in my pocket unlike now. Until then, I bid all muslims a very Happy Eid and I hope that it will bring much joy to everyone including myself.

Today, I’m going to blog about a cliché topic entitled “Quest for Love“. The reason why I wanted to blog about this is mainly because of the last dreaded months that I had to bare and confront to uphold something called ‘love‘. I am not the guy that is popular nor good looking what more to say having lots of admire. I am just a plain boring guy that you pass on the road and forget seconds later so throughout my life, I had always wanted to try and find someone that could complete me in every way possible. But to my avail, it is not an easy task given the condition I am right now.

**********

I often find myself tangle in the relationship problems and hence it always made me feel down and demotivated. Little number of people really understand what I’ve gone through but it was my fault as I rarely being open and share my problems and feelings with others. I had always kept everything inside and it had slowly eaten me from the inside as days goes by. I tried every possible way to keep my mind of things like this but often I found that I still failed to counter it. Turning to Allah is the only way that I find to be most effective when I experienced relationship problems.

**********

I usually sit inside my room, sipping a cup of tea while reminiscing on where was my faults. I open some motivational books to keep myself occupied and find some sort of light despite the pitch black darkness. My life was never easy to begin with yet people still chants arrogantly about how emotional I am. They would never know what I’ve been through to be at the place I am right now. Alas, the “Quest for Love” was never easy to begin with and some people might end up on an easy trip while the likes of me ended up oppositely but I had never blamed fate, Allah s.w.t knows what is best for us, humans. 

**********

I used to rely on advice from friends but as time goes by, I realized that I couldn’t depend on them to help me clean up my mess every time so it’s best that I faced everything myself. People can judge all they want but they will never know the true story of the people that went through the situation itself. Many said that I should just chill out and move on, but to me, I treasure the thing called love too much that it is practically hard for me to just forget everything in a jiffy. Lately, I think that the best way to move on is just the way it is right now. I can’t force others to like me and my country of origin and I don’t control fate itself in order to determine where and when I should be born but I’m proud to be born as a Sarawakian no matter how the people from across the sea perceived us. We are just as equal as everyone else’s and I hope someday people would perceive each other much better.

P/s : I finally got my new pair of shoes today which is the one that I’ve been talking previously. Somehow, I managed to find a pair with size 9 and pay it without further thinking =)

Size 9. Yahoo. =)

More Or Less How It Looks Like. =)

The Man.

**********

I’ve came to know Faridil/Edil ever since I started my college days back in Kolej Universiti Islam Selangor/KUIS and I think that he is one of the most coolest dude around that time. Edil had always been the quiet type and the most kindest soul that I’ve ever met. Proof is that he always willing to help his friends regardless of the situations and conditions and I think that only Allah s.w.t can repay all the good deeds that he had ever done. He always maintains his composure and coolness to the max and I can guarantee you that among the Computer Science students taking diploma at KUIS, he is one of the most brightest dude around.

Edil’s Passion.

**********

Edil plays with coding like it’s nobody’s business and he is damn good with it, I repeat damn good with it. I learnt most of my computer knowledge and skills  from him and he is not stingy in sharing his knowledge and willing to help in every possible way as well. It’s rare to find someone that think antivirus is not essential and I used to refer himself as the mobile portable antivirus because be it viruses, trojans or worms, there is nothing that Edil fears. We are just talking about basic computer knowledge and skills here, I haven’t even started on his hacking abilities which is way cooler than anything that I could’ve imagine.

**********

During my final year in diploma, Edil is kind enough to rent me and a few other friends the house that his mother purchase near the college area and believe me, we pay for price that could’nt be find anywhere else. Complete with the amenities like television and astro plus the wifi functionality which you could hardly find in a rented house and made our house one of the coolest on the block. I could never repay the good deeds of Edil and his family towards me and my friends and hopefully Allah s.w.t would repay all. Edil had always been a computer geek and gadget freak and somehow it influenced me as well because my fetishes for computers and gadgets seems like never ending *haha*.

Mrs. Edil a.k.a Ainsley Darbin.

**********

Truth is I am so lucky to be his friend and I came to know that someone had came into his life to make it much more colorful and trust me that she is one lucky lady to grab hold of Edil’s heart. Dear Ainsley Darbin, please take care good care of my friend and remember to keep him happy in any way possible. I’m always eagerly waiting for the day that I would receive a good news from both of you and come over to be Edil’s best man *haha*. I dedicated this particular blog post to Edil’s as his birthday is drawing near and nothing much I could do given distance of both of us currently in right now. I hope that you may find eternal happiness and  be much prosper come this 23rd birthday and to wrap things up:

Happy Birthday Faridil Akram Bin Mustakim.

31 August 1988.

Cool Date for A Cool Dude to Be Born.

Today which is the 25th of August marks a glorious opening of the first ever Giant Hypermarket here in Kuching. Yeah, I know that it’s not a big deal however being a kuchingite, it’s an honour to come early and participate in the launching of the hypermarket. The first Giant Hypermarket was located at Tabuan Jaya and with a huge building lot, it attracted a lot of people to come over and witness the inaugural opening and I had stood over since 7.30 a.m only to know that the hypermarket will be fully open by 9.00 a.m.

************

I embarked from home at 7.00 a.m all in the spirit of wanting to be the early birds to catch the worm or so they say. My target was surely the abundance stock of fresh newly open Hotwheels which is free from insiders. Lucky me, I managed to snatch quite a massive amount of Treasure Hunt/Treasure Hunt$ upon entering the hypermarket. Altogether I found 3 Treasure Hunt$ El Camino, 7 Treasure Hunt El Camino, 1 Treasure Hunt Tucker Torpedo and Custom Chevy respectively. With prices ranging from rm5.99, it’s a deal that I could not resist as normal price would be rm7.99 later when the promo is no more. I was like half crazy browsing the fresh stocks from top to bottom while climbing on the hypermarket’s shopping basket and I couldn’t care less about others as my mind was focused on finding some nice green carded cars.

************

The number of people flocking themselves to witness the grand opening of the first ever Giant was immense. Car parks are full while the road in front of the hypermarket experienced traffic jam from the morning up until at night as my sister wanted to go to the place but have to cancel due to massive traffic jam. I guess the management of Giant made a good choice opening the hypermarket here as the popularity of Giant itself is not disappointing at all. All Kuchingites are most welcome to come over and experience the feeling of Giant that used to be experienced only at peninsular. Now, we have our own hypermarket and I am positive that more will be open later and as always, I would be there to clean the nice Hotwheels, err I mean I would be there to participate in the opening again.

Aidilfitri will come…

Ramadhan will leave…

Semester will start pretty soon…

Long break will end finally…

************

Time does fly when you are enjoying yourself ei? Well, sort of for me. The long dreaded break is finally concluding itself and that means that new semester is just around the corner. Which left me wondering how would it be later on come the semester starts. Over the years, I always anticipated the coming of each semester with joy but somehow this time around, I felt demotivated to start the semester itself and I’m not pretty sure if it would be a good start for me or not. I just hope that everything will be fine and I just hope that I have the strength to move on. I am focusing myself more on studies hopefully next semester and I haven’t reach the 4 flat mark and I always have a close call with that pointer but it just to be elusive as ever. I just hope that I can finish my degree with a first class honour later and let we see 2 years later on how it goes.

************

On a second note, Eid is just around the corner and my oh my, time does fly and I have yet to feel really contented with Ramadhan itself. I wish I could extend Ramadhan so it will be much more longer than before because I felt in peace during this holy month of the Islam calendar. Over the last few days, I had managed to buy a few shirts and pants mainly to be use during Eid and when new semester comes. Now, I am eyeing to grab one pair of shoe by Adidas under their derby fresh graffiti splash line-up and believe me, I never think of buying a pair of shoe which cost more than rm80 what more to say the price tag on that particular shoe is rm220. Ummi had been supportive as she say that you pay more for a quality product and indeed it is true, Abah on the other hand is being neutral and I don’t know if he really let me buy it or not actually.

Actually, I tried my best to keep up with my schedule to update my blog as frequent as possible but sometimes mood swing prevent me from doing so. Nonetheless, I still try to follow the pre-determined schedule as close as possible with a post regarding quote and a post regarding random thoughts each day. I wanted to write as writing is some sort of therapy for me to cure my loneliness syndrome. Too bad that not so many people understand why and what I write. I write because it inspire me, it made me stronger, it made me somehow special in a way as my blog is the only place I can voiced out my own feelings and problems. I rarely share with anyone even those that is close to me. I write to improve myself as I am an avid fan of lingua franca itself and that’s why most of my blog posts is in English. I care less about how people perceive me and my writings and hey, I can’t please everyone or I might end up pleasing no one.
