Genting, Times Square, Bidadari dan Setan…

26.5.2009 8.11 p.m

Aku bangun pagi ni dengan penuh rasa excited. Yela, dah lama aku tak naik ke Genting dan berseronok menaiki rides di sana. Masih terngiang-ngiang suara aku menjerit like a girl saat menaiki Space Shot di sana a few years ago. Pukul 10, just as expected, I waited at tempat biasa, depan Puteri Park. Tunggu punya tunggu, I was impatient. Mana pula Alif ni? So, aku pun ke pondok telefon lalu try to call him? Sounds weird but that is what you have to do when you have no handphone.

“Apa barang Genting… Tutup dowh… Lepak TS sudah…” kata Alif di telefon. Perasaan menyirap sangat menguasai diri. Apa lagi aku terus ke TS, yakni acronym to Times Square. Nasib baik di kalangan member yang ada masa tu, ada pula awek. So, aku dapat juga cool down sedikit. Then, bowling time. Masa ni hampir 70% kemarahan aku difokuskan kepada setiap balingan boling aku. Dapat juga one strike and several spares. Boleh tahan juga score aku that day, memandangkan aku dah lama tak pegang bola boling. Here’s a picture of kawan-kawan yang lepak denganku today.

Dari kiri: Jamil, Hafiz, Alif, CT, Kay, Fitri (aku xde koz aku yang amek gambo..)

Lepas 4 games of bowling, lunch pula di medan selera atas Sungai Wang Plaza. Sambil makan, sambil borak. Masa borak tu aku tersedar, dah makin ramai types of people yang aku jumpa. Kiranya, aku tak berapa loser dalam meeting with the people. Hopefully this will boost my confidence when degree days arrived. After lunch, dalam 3 o’clock macam tu, tengok wayng pula. Niat di hati nak tengok Night at The Museum 2, sayangnya waktu tayangan tak suitable pula. So, we decided to watch this movie.

Angels and Demons. At first, aku agak skeptic about this movie because this was a continuation of ‘The Da Vinci Code’, which was a letdown to me. Aku kena tengok beberapa kali baru faham pasal that movie. But, I have to say lepas tamat tayangan, I was very satisfied with this particular movie. Banyak pengajaran telah diambil oleh director Ron Howard dari ‘The Da Vinci Code’ dan dia memperbaikinya dalam ‘Angels and Demons’.

The storyline was as simple and as straightforward as you can get. No flashback and such, just a flawless flow of plot and storyline. All actors put up a commendable performance, most notably Tom Hanks (Dr. Robert Langdon) and that guy that played pembantu Pope yang dahulu. The mysteries, clues and stories behind it were not as complex as in ‘The Da Vinci Code’. Taklah aku tertanya-tanya macam dahulu. Also, the cinematography was superb. I think it really capture the history behind Rome and Vatican and its significants.

Will I recommend anyone to watch this? Yes, I do. This is for all those yang minat cerita yang ada misteri dan thrill di dalamnya. Lagi satu, this movie really makes me respect other religions on a whole new level. Memang betul manusia ni ada pelbagai dan kita should respect all of them, no matter what race or religion. For me, a good movie to kick things off to many summer movies to come that I will watch, that is for sure.

Until then.

Ciao.

Notakecil:

-Terminator Salvation is definitely the next movie that I will watch. Tak tengok tak complete la experience SkyNet aku.

-Nike Dunk akan dijadikan antara sasaran pembelian kasut aku sebelum aku ke degree. Serta beberapa baju yang aku dah target dekat Sungai Wang.

- Camera Canon DSLR500D is a very intriguing camera. Kalaulah aku ada duit untuk membelinya.

-Sah rambut aku memerlukan adjustment yang banyak. Nampak sangat nerd stylenya apabila disikat.

Aku dan lagu (part 5)

25.5.2009 6.36 p.m

Eminem – Lose Yourself

Look, if you had one shot, one opportunity
To seize everything you ever wanted…One moment
Would you capture it or just let it slip?

His palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy
There’s vomit on his sweater already, mom’s spaghetti
He’s nervous, but on the surface he looks calm and ready
To drop bombs, but he keeps on forgettin
What he wrote down, the whole crowd goes so loud
He opens his mouth, but the words won’t come out
He’s chokin, how everybody’s jokin now
The clock’s run out, time’s up over, bloah!
Snap back to reality, Oh there goes gravity
Oh, there goes Rabbit, he choked
He’s so mad, but he won’t give up that
Is he? No
He won’t have it , he knows his whole back city’s ropes
It don’t matter, he’s dope
He knows that, but he’s broke
He’s so stacked that he knows
When he goes back to his mobile home, that’s when it’s
Back to the lab again yo
This whole rap shit
He better go capture this moment and hope it don’t pass him

HOOK:

You better lose yourself in the music, the moment
You own it, you better never let it go
You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
This opportunity comes once in a lifetime yo

The soul’s escaping, through this hole that it’s gaping
This world is mine for the taking
Make me king, as we move toward a, new world order
A normal life is borin, but superstardom’s close to post mortar
It only grows harder, only grows hotter
He blows us all over these hoes is all on him
Coast to coast shows, he’s know as the globetrotter
Lonely roads, God only knows
He’s grown farther from home, he’s no father
He goes home and barely knows his own daughter
But hold your nose cuz here goes the cold water
His bosses don’t want him no mo, he’s cold product
They moved on to the next schmoe who flows
He nose dove and sold nada
So the soap opera is told and unfolds
I suppose it’s old potna, but the beat goes on
Da da dum da dum da da

HOOK

No more games, I’ma change what you call rage
Tear this mothafuckin roof off like 2 dogs caged
I was playin in the beginnin, the mood all changed
I been chewed up and spit out and booed off stage
But I kept rhymin and stepwritin the next cypher
Best believe somebody’s payin the pied piper
All the pain inside amplified by the fact
That I can’t get by with my 9 to 5
And I can’t provide the right type of life for my family
Cuz man, these goddam food stamps don’t buy diapers
And it’s no movie, there’s no Mekhi Phifer, this is my life
And these times are so hard and it’s getting even harder
Tryin to feed and water my seed, plus
See dishonor caught up bein a father and a prima donna
Baby mama drama’s screamin on and
Too much for me to wanna
Stay in one spot, another jam or not
Has gotten me to the point, I’m like a snail
I’ve got to formulate a plot fore I end up in jail or shot
Success is my only mothafuckin option, failure’s not
Mom, I love you, but this trail has got to go
I cannot grow old in Salem’s lot
So here I go is my shot.
Feet fail me not cuz maybe the only opportunity that I got

HOOK

You can do anything you set your mind to, man

Fuh, dah lama juga aku tak tackle this subject. Bukannya apa, cuma there are some other things that need to be addressed first. Sekarang aku kembali focus dengan ruangan ini, which is dedicated to songs that I like and generally reflect what I am. This time, aku kemukakan lagu ni, nukilan rapper Eminem, yang juga merupakan antara soundtrack dari filem 8 Mile.

This song adalah lagu pemberi semangat aku, terutama dalam menghadapi tests, exams atau apa-apa yang associated dengannya. Kira lagu motivasi la. Kalau tak dengar lagu ni at least once before exam, tak sah. Lirik lagu ni more about defying the odds and taking chances when it comes. So kiranya sangat cocok dengan situasi aku ketika itu. Kadang-kadang boleh terlalak lagu ni masa shower sebelum exam. And aku masih teringat lagi masa zaman PMR and SPM, whereby lagu ni menjadi lagu pemangkin semangat aku. Terbukti ia berkesan, dengan buktinya kejayaan aku dalam both exams.

Speaking of Eminem, dia ni boleh dikatakan one of the rappers yang memang aku sangat minat. Style rapping dia sangat tersendiri. Dan more importantly, he excels in a genre of music that black people used to call it their own, even though he is a white guy. So that tells a lot. Still mencari diskografi lengkap of all of his albums. Peluang untuk impian itu tercapai agak cerah masa degree nanti, Insya Allah.

Nak dengar and tgk video klipnya? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xFYQQPAOz7Y


Until then.

Ciao.

(Gustimania) Top 5 Favorite (and perhaps Greatest) Wrestlers of All Time (part 2)

24.5.2009 9.54 a.m

Well, without further delays and all, let’s continue with the list, shall we?

3) Shawn Michaels

He is what he says he is; The Show Stopper, The Main Eventer, The Heart Break Kid (hence the HBK acronym) and perhaps the best of all, Mr. Wrestlemania. Even at the twilight of his career, he can still put on a show in the ring that is unrivalled by anyone, past or present. Case and point, this year’s Wrestlemania, where he and The Undertaker wrestled in one of the best matches that I had ever seen in the ring.

I thought when he was deemed unable to compete due to serious back injury (no thanks to Undertaker during the first Hell in A Cell match) back in 1998, he will never ever compete again. I was wrong when he came back in 2002 and did not miss a beat at all during his confrontation with Triple H at Summerslam. HBK is a guy that you know will give 100% in the ring, injured or not. He is the type of wrestler that can gel with all types of matches. You can brawl with him, put up a technical clinic or even do the spectacular. A very rare breed of wrestler indeed Shawn Michaels is.

Since he came back, he nearly stole the show in every Wrestlemania, with the exception of Wrestlemania 23 where he wrestled John Cena. This shows that he is Mr. Wrestlemania. Whether it was a technical classic with Kurt Angle or a highly entertaining and emotional match against Mr. Mcmahon, his match made the other matches in that Wrestlemania card looked pale in comparison. Just ask any wrestling fans about his or her favorite Wrestlemania matches, I am sure that they will answer it with a Shawn Michaels match.

2) The Undertaker

Simply put the best wrestler out there that is in his twilight years. Also one of the most loyal ones, having performed in the WWE ring for nearly two decades now. The Phenom of WWE, he truly is. I have watched nearly all of his matches (at least the most significant ones) and I am truly in awe with his performance. He never misses a beat from his debut up until now. He is alos the guy who holds perhaps the best record ever in pro wrestling; the undefeated streak in Wrestlemania (17-0).

He can be described as the equivalent of Madonna in the pro wrestling world. He has a high adaptability ability to mesh with any types of matches in any given era. The early years of The Undertaker saw a lot of his matches in more brawling, powerful types. But nowadays, we can see a more technical side of him, with more mat wrestling and submissions being added to his arsenal of moves (hence the Triangle Choke a.k.a The Devil’s Gate submission hold).

This adaptability factor is also implied in his appearance in the ring. From being dressed like a Western undertaker to a more satanic cult figure, he has done it all. But my favorite reincarnation of The Undertaker was during his ‘biker’ years from late 2000 up until late 2003. That was when the coolness factor of that character was boosted by a factor of 10. He was also in his best in the ring during these days. When he retires, I do not know who will replace him as that legendary figure in the WWE. It will be hard to find it.

And my favorite wrestler is..

1) The Rock

The Brahma Bull, The Great One, and for me The Most Electrifying Man In Sports Entertainment History. No one, and mean no one can rival The Rock in terms of electrifying the crowd whether in his promos, interviews or even matches. He is an iconic figure during the Attitude Era. Loud-mouth for sure, but never back down from a challenge. He is another rare breed of wrestler that is just so gifted with mic skills.

I have watched all of his matches from his debut up until his last matches, and he seldom fail in enticing a response from the crowd, whether negative or positive. He is also very sharp indeed in the ring, never missed a beat. He is just a joy to watch every time he steps into the ring, generating excitement from the crowd. The best Rock, in-ring wise, was perhaps from 2001 onwards, where he was so sharp and good, the opponents had to step up just to be on the same level as The Rock.

Mic wise, he is simply gifted. He has more catchphrases than anyone in the history of pro wrestling, from ‘Know Your Role!’ to ‘Just Bring It!’, he never fail to deliver in his promos. I had never seen a promo made by other wrestler that can gain immediate attention and response than The Rock’s. Some of his promos are even as funny as hell. Just check out YouTube and laugh your ass off. There is only one Rock, that is for sure. After Stone Cold was inducted into the Hall of Fame this year, I will be a deeply upset person if The Rock do not get the same recognition within the next 2 or 3 years.

Well, that is my list of favorite wrestler. There will be more of this in coming entries as I will try to pick the best wrestlers in every category imaginable.

Ciao.

(Gustimania) Top 5 Favorite (and perhaps Greatest) Wrestlers of All Time (part 1)

22.5.2009 5.59 p.m

Here I am again. After several days of not writing, finally I have the conscious, idea and will to write about something. Guess that several days of preoccupying myself with other things other than writing, somehow makes me want to write again. It is not about the amount of entries that I have in this blog that matters, but the quality of it. That is one of the reasons why I put up this blog, to train and to enhance my writing skills. Anywhoo, this entry will focus on my favorite wrestlers of all time.

For any given wrestling fans (such as myself), that individual will develop a liking for any wrestler. Whether he wrestler is a high-flyer, a powerhouse, or even a technician, he or she will have a favorite wrestler. It also depends on when they watch pro wrestling. One may like the lights of Hogan, Macho Man or Ric Flair because the individual followed wrestling during the 80’s. Maybe present superstars such as John Cena, Batista or Randy Orton are the ones that present fans love.
For me personally, I like all types of wrestlers, but I am more of the Attitude Era fan. So, without further adieu…

5) Stone Cold Steve Austin

Stone Cold, perhaps one of the greatest wrestlers that ever graced the WWE ring. The recently inducted hall of famer single handedly saved WWE (then known as WWF) from losing out to WCW back in the late 90’s (Monday Night War period). He was one of the faces during the Attitude Era. With a rebel character and defying authorities, he was one of the first ‘face’ wrestlers that had attitude of a ‘heel’ wrestler. A trend that changed the landscape of wrestling world, in terms of characterization.

In the ring, he was a pure brawler. I like his style in the ring because it fits his character perfectly. Feuds with Mr. Mcmahon was one of the best feuds ever in the history of pro wrestling. However, in tems of in ring performance, I adore his performance during the period between his introduction at King of The Ring back in 1996 or 1997 up until he broke his neck at Summerslam, thanks to Tombstone Piledriver by the late Owen Hart. That was a period where he wrestled with all types of wrestlers, yet his brawling style fitted very well in those matches. Case and point, Wrestlemania 13 during his submission match with the legendary Bret Hart.

He was also one of those wrestlers that are gifted with mic skills. The infamous 3:16 quote during his coronation as King of The Ring is still one of the best promo, at least in my eyes. He can also be very funny indeed. He showed that side during the days of WWF versus the Alliance (coalition of WCW and ECW wrestlers) back in 2001. His career was cut short a bit due to injury, but he is still one of the most kick ass wrestlers ever.

4) Jeff Hardy

Of all types of wrestlers out there, I have a fondness with the high flyers, the lucha libres, X divisions’, whatever they call it these days. I rate this guy very highly. A daredevil, Jeff Hardy always come up with something so unpredictable and amazing, that I just can’t stop supporting this guy. The ‘Unique Enigma’ is certainly on his way to become a legend.

He was one half of the awesome tag team, the Hardy Boyz, alongside his brother Matt, they are on ethe first tag teams to employ death defying moves that was not common before in the WWE. Who would ever forget their epic feud with Edge and Christian and also the Dudley Boyz from 1999 up to 2001. That was the golden era of tag team division. They produced amazing displays everytime all of them stepped into the ring. The best ones were of course the TLC matches. Two memorable moments that I still remember; 1) Edge spearing Jeff Hardy who was dangling in mid air and 2) Jeff doing the Swanton Bomb from the top of a 20 feet ladder hitting Spike Dudley and Rhyno. All of that moments happened during the TLC match at Wrestlemania 17 (still the greatest PPV in this century).

Jeff Hardy came close so many times as a major champion before. One of his closest moments was the Ladder match against the Undertaker for the WWE Undisputed Championship back in 2002. That was the match that showed his potential as a main eventer. His wish finally came true last year, when he won the WWE title at Armaggedon. I am still amazed that WWE did not recognized him as a Grand Slam winner (achieved when a wrestler won every title in the WWE), alongside Shawn Michaels and Kurt Angle. All in all, he is still one of the best in this business.

Damn, felt a bit exhausted after all of this writing. Part 2 coming up shortly.

Tidbits:

-I don’t know about you, but I think WWE Extreme Rules is one of the worst names ever for a PPV since the In Your House days.

-Just watched the debut of Davey Hart Smith yesterday in ECW. Very impressive and I predict a lot of good things happening for him and the rest of Hart Trilogy.

-Please stop this Santina Marella angle. At first, it does look funny but after some times, it started to be very nauseating to watch.

-In terms of storyline, Smackdown is a way much better show to watch than Raw. Even ECW is better. And this comes from a guy who watches full length Raw every single week.

-Watching ROH on Youtube, I was amazed at the talent on display, perhaps in years to come and with better exposure, they can overtake TNA as THE rival to WWE. Now I am a huge fan of Bryan Danielson.

(Sepak Bola) Glory-Glory Man United!

17.5.2009 10.19 a.m

Semalam, buat kali ketiga berturut-turut, pasukan yang aku support, yakni Manchester United Football Club Berjaya memenangi Barclays Premier League. Aku tak tahu kenapa, tapi hanya ada this season yang aku feel yang akhirnya, aku menjadi seorang yang true Man U fan. I did not say yang aku tak pernah support team ni, Cuma this season, aku jadi sedikit passionate dengan team ni.

Aku sebenarnya dah lama support Red Devils ni, sejak zaman kebangkitan pemain-pemain muda bawah Sir Alex dulu. Ala, players like Beckham, Giggs, Scholes, Butt, adik-beradik Neville serta beberapa lagi players yang aku tak dapat recall. Aku terus menjadi peminat (belum true lagi) masa zaman treble tahun 98/99. I still remember that dramatic winner during the Uefa Champions League final. Selama 90 minit aku dah lost hope, tapi kemudiannya dua gol injury time dari Sheringham dan Solskjaer mengangkat Red Devils menjadi juara Eropah. Kejayaan ini Berjaya diulangi musim lepas with another dramatic win, this time a penalty shootout against Chelsea. It was one of those rare nights whereby aku tak tidur langsung. Terlalu happy menyaksikan kemenangan United.

This season, aku akhirnya menjadi seorang yang true menyokong Man U. One of the factors yang mungkin menyumbang kepada this thing, aku rasa sebab penyokong Liverpool kot. Berlagak sangat support team mereka. Akhirnya, pulang dengan tangan kosong lagi walaupun Berjaya melakukan double ke atas team Red Devils. Ceh, harap menang Cup lain tapi League masih belum lagi didakap walaupun dah hampir 20 tahun berlalu sejak kejayaan terakhir.

Aku percaya, skuad yang telah Sir Alex pick this season adalah yang terbaik dalam sejarah Man U, given that they beat Barcelona dalam final Champions League tahun ni. Satu perkara yang aku sangat berharap akan terjadi. This season defense United sangat solid, eventhough berubah-ubah sepanjang musim. Rafael Da Silva is a breath of fresh air, seorang right back muda yang sangat talented. Begitu juga Jonny Evans yang berjaya membuktikan yang he can work well with both Vidic and Ferdinand. Pemain defense yang lain pun harus dipuji walaupun tanpa Wes Brown dan Gary Neville hamper the whole season.

In my opinion, midfield United adalah yang paling well balanced dalam dunia bola sepak sekarang. Ada experience with the presence of Scholes dan Giggs. Ada tenacity dan ketahanan yang tinggi, disumbangkan oleh Anderson dan Fletcher. Juga sedikit intelligence play melalui Carrick. Serta workload yang tinggi, provided by Park Ji Sung. Dalam setiap perlawanan, jarang aku tengok Sir Alex menurunkan midfield yang sama untuk dua straight matches. Lagi satu, midfielders United sangat adapt dalam interchanging position between them, membuktikan element of versatility dalam team ni.

Mesti ada yang pelik kenapa pemain no 7 a.k.a Cristiano Ronaldo tak ada dalam perenggan di atas. Ini kerana aku letak Ronaldo sebagai antara pemain penyerang bagi United. In several occasions this season, Ronaldo ditugaskan menjadi lone striker dan terbukti, he can do that job. Rooney is solid as ever this season, walaupun sering menjadi left winger. Pembelian Berbatov, for me was a good buy because he has been the ideal target man untuk United. Tevez juga menjadi seorang striker yang pivotal this season, scoring crucial goals this season. Satu lagi perkara yang menarik bagi aku adalah the emergence of young talented strikers in Danny Wellbeck dan Federico Macheda.

Harap-harap this season, United akan menang Champions League dan menjadi pasukan pertama dalam sejarah competition tu yang retain the title. Bagi aku, Barcelona sangat lucky during the semi final against Chelsea. Mereka hanya layak disebabkan beberapa referee’s decisons yang sangat teruk. Kalau referee tu tak teruk, masakan tiga kapten pasukan negara (Drogba, Ballack and Terry) menyirap dengan referee lepas match tu. Lagi satu, bagi aku Barca agak sukar bermain menentang pasukan yang ada defence yang sangat organized dan berdisiplin. It is up to Man U and its strikers to deliver the goods come 28th May.

Glory2 Man United!!

Ciao.

- Harapfully 26 haribulan ni aku ada rezeki untuk naik ke Genting. Dah terbayang keseronokan menaiki rides di sana.

-Moving on with life is so difficult without thinking of her. Que lagu Westlife, If I Let You Go.

-Nak letak gambar menarik dalam entries akan dating, Insya Allah.

- Movie tak tengok-tengok lagi. Bukannya apa, kewangan yang tidak menentu membantutkan harapan. Aku rasa I will end up watching Night at The Museum 2 juga ni.

(Gustimania) Kenapa aku sangat interested dengan wrestling..

13.5.2009 6.05 p.m

Akhirnya, hujan yang ditunggu selama ini telahpun tiba. I was so grateful for that sebab malam ni, aku tak perlu tidur dalam keadaan yang mengaibkan sebab malam ni pasti akan terasa sejuk. Other than that, today aku terasa sedikit bosan, unlike other days during this particular period of time. Petang aku selalu diisi dengan menghadap laptop kuno ku ini dan watch things, either video clips, movies or others. Unlike any other day, I am not in the mood to watch all of that. Mungkin sebab itu aku was drawn untuk menulis entri ini, yang khusus membicarakan hal kegemaranku, yakni wrestling. Gusti, dalam bahasa ibunda kita.

Orang selalu bertanya kepada aku, “Kenapala kau minat sangat dengan wrestling ni? Kalau masa kecik dulu aku pahamla tapi kau umur 20 kot?”. Quote direct dari salah seorang member aku. Aku tersenyum sahaja, malas nak answer back. Sebab kalau aku explain, mahu tak sampai esok pagi penjelasannya. Banyak reasons sebenarnya mengapa aku sangat suka dengan dunia pro wrestling ini. Sejarahnya bermula masa aku darjah satu lagi. Masa tu selalunya TV1 akan menayangkan show wrestling WCW, sebaik sahaja tamat berita dunia. If not mistaken, tiap hari Rabu.

Ingatan aku agak kabur nak remember balik zaman tu. But one memory stuck in my mind. That memory was masa show tu, ada highlights menunjukkan tentang satu wrestler ni, Sting yang menyelamatkan 2 atau 3 wrestler dari attack from nWo. Siap buat flying fox tu di dalam arena. Memang gempak. Sadly, rancangan tu tak bertahan lama. So, minat aku terkubur sekejap di situ.
Fast forward ke zaman aku sekolah rendah. Year 4 to be exact. Rokok Winston menaja rancangan WWF Superstars di kaca TV3. I was so excited. Boleh dikatakan setiap hari Khamis aku akan terpacak melihat rancangan tu. Melihat the lights of Stone Cold, The Rock, Undertaker, DX dan macam2 lagi, tak tergambar keseronokan dan keexcitedannya (perkataan baru tu). Di sekolah, mulalah semua orang nak imitate gaya wrestler kegemaran. Teringat aku selalu membuat crotch chop kepada budak kelas sebelah. Memang kelakar.

Show tu berhenti sekejap, tapi kemudiannya digantikan dengan WWF Smackdown. Rancangan yang still bertahan sehinggalah ke hari ini. Aku still mengikutinya. Wrestling experience aku semakin menjadi lebih hebat dengan adanya WWE Raw di Astro, yang kemudiannya diikuti dengan ECW. Sekarang, aku akan mengikuti kesemua tiga show ini. Dari segi PPV pula, aku akan order The Big Four sahaja (Royal Rumble, Wrestlemania, Summerslam, Survivor Series). PPV yang lain hanya akan aku ikuti kalau the cards are solid and interesting. Also, hamper setiap minggu aku akan berInternet mengikuti perkembangan dunia pro wrestling.

Berbalik kepada persoalan tadi, bagi aku pro wrestling adalah satu benda ynag Berjaya menggabungkan both sports and entertainment. Wrestler adalah atlit, serta pelakon yang memainkan watak mereka yang berkesan. Every storyline in wrestling is unique and enjoyable. Even the scripted moves in the ring can be portrayed as acts that can have a deep impact towards those who watch it. Kalu tak percaya try tengok matches yang legendary dan gempak. Sebagai contoh, Undertaker vs Shawn Michaels masa Wrestlemania yang lepas. Crowd sangat involved dalam match itu. The adrenaline rush apabila melihat sequence leading to the end of that match is indescribable.

Adrenaline rush, this is the thing that feeds and makes this form of sport or entertainment as unique. Jarang aku tengok entertainment atau sports yang memberi aku adrenalin rush sehebat pro wrestling. Also, benda ni juga bermain dengan emosi. So, you will be very fond untuk mengikuti pro wrestling sebaik sahaja you are hooked to it.

Aku rasa sampai sini sahaja dulu explanation aku. Insya Allah, dalam coming entries aku akan berbicara dengan lebih lagi tentang subjek ini. Maybe giving some thoughts about the ongoing things in the pro wrestling world and other stuffs.

Until then.

Ciao.

Kehidupanku post diploma..

2.5.2009 10.19 a.m

Kembali lagi aku di sini. Wow, come to think of it, inilah kali pertama aku kembali menulis selepas aku balik dari UiTM Melaka buat kali terakhir dan melakar entri berkaitan exams dan students. Bukannya aku malas nak menulis, tapi all this times, I was struggling with the demon inside me, and also a whole lot of other stuffs. Mencari kerja, menjaga rumah, deling with my sisters dan sebagainya. Finally, semalam aku nekad. Selepas pelbagai kerja telah aku cuba cari dan gagal, I decided that sepenjang period menunggu kehadiran degree, I will do what I like to do most, writing entries, commenting on stuffs around me and many more. That was the basis for this blog in the first place.

Anyways, kembali menceritakan what have I done sepanjang masa ni. Well, not much to be fair. Besides spending nearly 60% of the day in my room, menonton TV dan melakukan rutin seharian are the things that I do. Nak keluar duit pula yang menjadi isu. Selain itu, ketiadaan handphone juga antara factor aku tak keluar sangat. Tempat paling jauh pun yang telah aku travel is Cyber café yang dekat rumah aku. Just to check on the Net (FB, Blogs and lots more). Kind of pathetic come to think of it. Actually, banyak benda yang bersarang dalam mind aku. Namun, it has all been rectified and I will be focus on doing what I love most.

Speaking of love, hari-hari yang telah berlalu sejak kebelakangan ini membuatkan aku sedar yang actually I am a coward when it comes to this subject. For every opportunity that I had, I blew it big time. If only aku ada courage untuk berdepan dengan situasi-situasi itu, dah tentu sekarang ni aku tak keseorangan. Still, I will miss all that moments, not regretting it.

Kerja? Satu subjek yang semakin muak aku nak bicarakan. Peluang dah tiada, nak buat macam mana. Eventhough my father menawarkan untuk work back with him, aku politely decline because I want to try something new. Well, that thing never comes. Damn, now I am stuck in here doing absolutely nothing. Itu was my initial reaction, but after thinking long and hard, I know that I should do things that I want under my own terms. Tapi, kalau ada opportunites yang mendatang, sapu sudah!

I promise, akan ada banyak pembaharuan dan new content dalam blog ni. Sebelum ni, aku main cincai sahaja letak contents. Tapi, setelah sekian lama, aku realize yang aku need to organize this blog sebab it is a reflection to who I really am. Insya Allah, disebabkan free time yang sangat melambak, aka nada banyak lagi nukilan yang best dari aku.

Until next time.

Ciao.

Notakecil:

-Dah lama sangat kemarau ni. Days seems so f#cking long it kills me. Harapfully aka nada perubahan cuaca, sebab it relly takes a toll on e, physically.

-MU menang lawan Man City semalam. Tapi Tevez dan Ronaldo pula buat hal. Risau juga aku sebab mereka berdua sanag integral dalam setup team MU.

-Hari-hari aku main PS2. Tapi makin lama makin bosan. Nampak sangat yang aku ni true PC Gamer. Target seterusnya untuk degree: membeli desktop computer yang gempak.

Menghadapi final exams...

2.5.2009 9.55 p.m

Akhirnya, aku 'terkembali' ke UiTM atas urusan yang tak dapat dielakkan. Ada ke boleh terlupa printer tertinggal di rumah sewa? Nampak sangat aku tak prihatin. Anyways, kembalinya aku balik ke sini membuatkan aku terkenang zaman menghadapi final exams sejak aku part 1 sampai la ke part 6 sekarang ni. Entry kali ni aku nak berbicara sedikit tentang lumrah atau karenah students menghadapi finals.

Finals boleh dikatakan sebagai titik akhir perjalanan sesorang students setelah menghadapi satu semester yang panjang. But, these hurdles are far more tougher than one could think. Ia adalah kayu pengukur sama ada student itu cemerlang atau repeat paper subjek tersebut. Bagi aku, ada beberapa kategori students yang menghadapi final exams. Namun aku akan group them menikut tiga kategori utama.

a) Gila exams

Golongan ni sangat jarang dapat aku lihat. Mereka ni akan prepare habis-habisan dalam mengahdapi paper finals. Tak kiral subjek apapun, Tumpuan harus 100%. No playing around. Lokasi kegemaran masa finals sudah smestinya library. Kalau boleh nak tidur sahaja di sana, sebab blok banyak distraction. Walaupun papers yang dihadapi mempunyai gap yang panjang, tumpuan masih ke arah exam. Kononnya nak study habis-habisan. Kebnayakan dari mereka mendapat DL, paling teruk pun pointer yang tinggi (3.20 ke atas). Senang cerita, masa finals is where the works are.

b) Moderate

Golongan ni boleh dikatakan yang kedua terbesar di kalangan students. Study masih study, tapi diselang selikan dengan aktiviti riadah yang lain, sebagai contoh menonoton movie, main games dan sebagainya. Ada time belajar, ada time main. Aku boleh dikategorikan dalam golongan ini. Gap papers yang panjang diisi dengan aktiviti pulang ke rumah. Buat apa nak lepak di sini? Sebab finals adalah antara masa yang paling boring dalm hidup seorang student. Sistematik juga golongan ni. Result may vary, dari teruk ke cemerlang, bergantung kepada individu.

c) Last minute

Golongan terbesar di kalangan pelajar. Study dianggap sebagai satu perkara yang remeh dan tidak diambil berat. Masa lebih diluangkan dengan aktiviti riadah. Bagi mereka, masa finals adalah masa untuk merehatkan diri selepas mengharungi semester yang penuh mencabar. Kalu boleh nak papers yang gap maha panjang, baru boleh enjoy. Hanya akan study dalam 48 jam sebelum exam. Keyakinan diri kurang dalam golongan ni, sebab jarang melekat ilmu pada otak. Last minute la katakan. Jarang aku dengar golongan ni mendapat keputusan yang cemerlang. Kalau yang cemerlang tu biasanya golongan yang genius otaknya. Yang tak genius tu sama ada akan dismissed atau yang paling ringan, repeat balik paper tersebut.

Fuh, bagi aku itulah golongan-golongan orang yang menghadapi finals. Itu tak termasuk sub golongan lagi. Kalau dicampur lagi, mahu tak rekod dunia entry ni dari segi kepanjangannya. Insyaallah kalu free akan aku bicarakan pasal benda tu.

Masa untuk mereformat komputer.

-MU akan menang UCL dan BPL this season. Percayala.

-Masih mencari kerja. Kenapa la kerja part time ni susah untuk dicari?

-Piala FA antara Kelantan dan Selangor membuktikan orang Malaysia masih passionate tentang bola sepak tempatan. Sayangnya, kualiti macam main di kampung sahaja. Sedih.

-Still thinking of her. Damn it, I need to get on with my life. Perhaps finding a new one will help. But that will be hard indeed.
