random thoughts to fill the void

As my sayang would say..."Oh my goodness!"

I have been the most inactive in my short period that I have blogged. I realized that I have only posted 6 entries this year. At the rate I am going, I will definitely not surpass the previous year's statistic of 17 posts. I haven't had writers block per say, I have loads to write about, but I have had people say I have overstepped the line of jiwangness as of late, and although I am not forcing anyone to read my posts, I would understand why, and I myself would comment the same thing if I was reading my own posts. As a result, I found that I over think what I write, and becomes something pretty unreadable, and most of my posts are left as drafts, and unposted, and probably rightly so.

So, I have been again been bombarded (takder ah bombarded pun) by close friends and family, with questions of why aren't there any updates. "Biler nak update?"..."Update lah blog yg bersawang kamu itu..."..."takder post baru ker?". Looking back at my older posts, I have wrote mostly about my activities with MUMSA, maybe thats why I have less un-jiwang things to write about. I feel really bad not helping Iylia out more when I could have.

So its winter here in the southern hemisphere, and I am not liking the cold weather. I know, practically everyone says that "i rather be cold than hot,"...but i seriously do not like freezing. Its better to sweat, at least I lose some weight...haha. With this dislike of the cold weather, also makes me think of home, of the people...and the food. Again "Oh my goodness!", i've been wanting pisang goreng for the longest time, and keropok lekor, and eating late supper at one of the mamak's or ayaq bu.

I have also been dreaming of futsal....ahh that cage like haven for football players that are pretty talentless when it comes to a full 11 a side field match. Within those cages, dreams of emulating your favourite players are actually reachable...

I called Hafiz couple of days ago. Its good to talk to him after 2 months or so, so updates were aplenty. Alhamdulillah, all updates are happy updates, some of em even downright funny. HAHA. Wedding bells, or maybe more appropriately kompang beats, have hit the kakibangku crew. I am trying and hoping that I would get back in time for one of my close friends wedding. He's probably the first really close friend that is gonna get married, and I really wouldn't want to miss that day and share the joy.

For the past two months I got 2 one off jobs at a real estate company. First job was to create a short introductory video, which was great, because I like creating videos, which got me 150 NZD, not bad, should have charged more....and the second job was just to reformat the boss's laptop, which I charged 150 NZD, which is kind of high considering it was an easy job, even easier than the video job. Those jobs helped a bit with the groceries. The boss is a nice guy, and InsyAllah, more jobs will come from that company.

Bersatu games is literally 5 days away from the posting of this entry. This year, it hasn't been something that is greatly anticipated like the previous years. First year, Iylia had already briefed me on BERSATU, and I was excited at the prospect of the games. Last year, It was more exciting, because the team/ contingent grew, and for me hopes were higher. There was a real spirit within the club. This year, we're hosting it, and we should be proud of that. I think its the thought of organizing, that makes us less focused on winning and worrying wether or not the games will run smoothly...well thats what i think.

Well, I hope after BERSATU, i'll have something more interesting to write...and in more frequency. Till then i bid you adios,

hasta luego amigos
