the last one


.. and it was awesome, sad and sentimental.

i cant express how proud i was and still am of my dancers and dikir barat-ers. allt hose hard work, and yelling for the past 2 months has all paid off. though i did mess up for a few bits of the performance, but overall.. i am so proud guys! we did grrreat! :D

overall, Malaysian Night 2010 was a success. though im not so keen over some of the other performance, but, overall it was an awesome night,and obviously with the awesome food! and here i would like to extend my congratulations and gratitude to those who are involved in the whole thing:


  1. trumendous gratitude to the MALSOC committee for organising the event, who, i know, went through hell to put all this together.

  2. extreme thanks to all my dikir barat-ers and malay dancers, especially Hanis and Iylia (i know yous did this as a favour to me, which i deeply very much appreciate). you guys have been trumendously supportive and awesome throughout the whole thing - the practice, the choreographing, the performance. thanks for your time and commitment, and willingness to adapt to my garang-ness in conducting yous lot. we had an awesome time didnt we? :)

  3. and to surein, qin and jeffri: yous are my man! yous rock dudes! :D

after 3 years being here, ive been involved in all 3 m-nights:

bradford and leeds

we went to bradford yesterday for the "Bradford Leeds Football and Badminton Games", and obviously, i am with Ben-Ben. we came with not enough players, therefore importing Ubye from Perskindol, and Syed form Glasgow, we manage to qualify to the quarter finals (winning all group stages match). Then, we met Toon Army (which is a bummer! such early stage.. sigh.) and unfortunately we lost 1-0, where dearly beloved scored the one goal for Toon Army. a pretty intense game it was, which i think was suppose to be 'the final' game.. but, no luck for us.



so Toon Army proceed to Semi Finals, going against Glasgow and won, which then qualifies them to proceed to the Final stage, where they met Cheetham 2 (from manchester) but lost by 3-0.
we do not want to try to understand that match, because its just beyond understanding.
so Toon Army came back with silver, and Ben-Ben empty handed.. but it was overall a good game and a good experience and a good day.
and im proud. :)

i love you

i just realised, i know how to say "i love you" in 10 different languages:

1. wo ai ni (mandarin)
2. j'taime (french)
3. aishiteru (japanese)
4. te amor (spanish)
5. ich liebe dich (german)
6. i love you (english)
7. saya cinta kamu (malay)
8. mujhe tumse pyar karti (hindustan)
9. sarangeyo (korean)
10. akeu sayang kaau (melanau)

and yes, i found LOVE.
not just the direction to it
:)

rojak asam payaks

*the title has nothing to do with atiq's blog. thank you very much.

first, im panicking. yep! 2 more weeks till easter break is over, and the fun.. i dont see THAT ending anytime soon - which is NOT GOOD. final year project -- i just get to look back at what ive done and what's left to be done.. and dear god, there's a lot! worse part, im not even sure where and how to start! dammit! i really should start putting my head into it.. hurm.

second, im sad. and jealous. and frustrated. and melancholy.
tomorrow.. well, technically today (malaysia time) is kak nomie's engagement. finally that old lady is getting married. lol! (kidding kakak! you know i love you :P) thanks abang sab for wanting to be responsible for her. LOL!!! well, the plan is akad nikah should be on the 3rd day raya (12/09/10) and reception will be on the same day as abang's. whats melancholy, sad, frustrated and to be jealous about this? IM NOT THERE, duh! :'(

third, im cold. i just came back from Nice yesterday, and it was AWESOME! the sun, the beach, the food.. parfait! planned on getting slightly tanned, but attempt obviously failed.

didnt do much shopping, because i underestimate my expenses. but i dont mind, because i get to eat those lush seafoods and ice cream.. magnifique! we went to Monaco as well.. simply spectacular! and have i ever told you, the french language is just way too sexy? bloody hell.. lol! and then, imagine coming back from a sunny city of temperature 17 deg C average, to a cold, dull Newcastle of temperature 4 deg C.. sigh. but still, thanks housemates for being great companions and friends :)


and last, im happy. :)

over looking the Monaco Cote d'Azur
