Its October. Finally, its my last month insyAllah as a student of Academics, because as they say, you never stop being a student after you leave school. I am excited to go back to Malaysia to be honest. I know most of you would say "apa bender lah kau Shah...Malaysia jugak kau nak..". Yes, I want Malaysia, because I am Malaysia. Many would say its bad now, with the politics and the crime and bad economy, the weather, the inconsiderate people. But, hey, if we Malaysians don't wanna live in our own country, who would? If we aren't willing to do something about it...who would?. Anyways, pardon my few sentences of ranting, but too many have said the same things, which are undeniably true, but why run away when we should stay and make things better. hehe
I have 2 assignments more to go, and a test, then its just counting the days to the end of October for my exams. I have started to pack a couple of bags, and hope to send them back ahead of my flight soon. Apart from that, I need to sell a few of my possessions, some unwanted, some required to help me last this final month. I am trying to sell them to friends, but it is hard at this stage, as not only myself are low on finances, especially in the closing months of the semester. I just hope everything falls into place, and get my stuff sorted before we have to move out of Marne St.
Someone asked me, "tak sedih ker bulan-bulan terakhir kau?". I actually at this moment have no straight answer for that, but leaning towards a "No". I have had friends that have left for good, who try their hardest not to go back to Malaysia. They love it here. I just like it here. Malaysia has so much more meaning to me. I know most of you would say, "eleh, ader awek skarang mesti lah Malaysia ader more meaning". I agree, she has given more meaning, but Malaysia just fits me better, the air I breathe is more sweeter in Malaysia, smog and smoke and heat and humidity runs through my veins. Clean air, cold winds just makes me ill too many times, haha. I can safely say cold weather..I had enough. Only vacations after this, no more living through it.
I can say that, I will miss this country. How can I not. I have grown so much over the past 3 years. The laughter and tears and evolving mentally will always be remembered. Friends I have made, Malaysians and from other countries, I will cherish. I know this post is somewhat pre mature. There would be every chance that I would not pass one paper, and have to eat my words, hehe..but i'm pretty confident that would not happen, insyAllah.
I will try and post something before I really leave.
In other news, my nephew will be a month old in a couple of days. So here are pictures of him....
The bottom right picture is probably the only picture I have seen him actually opening his eyes. Heh. Comel gak ah budak nih.

After months of eagerly waiting, finally my first ever nephew was born on the 3rd of September 2009. He is named by his parents, my abang and kak linda, Raiyan Azzim. Syukur Alhamdulillah, he is healthy, the mother is healthy, our family is truly blessed.
Meet Raiyan Azzim bin Ozidin...
He is very the fair, like his mother. At present time, i think he looks very much like Kak Linda, putih dan bulat. hehe. I for one was actually worried for the two, as complication after complications came, due dates were pushed forward and back. So for my nephew, my first of many acts of affection for you, and since I am not there to greet you in person, this is my present.. Nazarku untuk kamu...
(to readers, sorry for the ugly bald headed me, look away...look away)
now our hair the same length..hehe
To Mak, Kak Yang and Abang..It has always been the four of us for the longest time, we are truly blessed that in a year, our family has grown by two. Caya-lah Kak Wati !...hehe. May god continue to bless our family.
Raiyan, i'll be back soon to teach you football, because your Abah is kakibangku for real. hehe. Kidding abang,...

If i remember correctly, the first piece of gaming tech that i marveled at was the atari. At the time, i thought it was the greatest thing in the world. I was 4.
It really is mind blowing when you think what can be accomplished with technology these days. Everything is getting smaller and smaller. I just read that there is a 128 gb pen drive. Its massive when just maybe 10 years ago we were only dealing in mega bytes.
Only recently, i downloaded final fantasy 7 on my psp. To those who doesn't know, it was played on a PSone. It used to be that it could only be played on that PSone console, connected to a tv obviously. But now i can play it on the go, anywhere whenever on the PSP, which is something that still till now, makes me think about how technology has evolved.
Even now, phones are not just meant to be used for calling. Over the years, it has been a camera, a radio, a cd player, and now, it is becoming more common that a phone can do all that and more. Internet can be accessed from virtually anywhere, even this post is updated from a mobile phone.
Makes me wonder, what's next??
Before anyone says "update please"...and other comments seangkatan dengan-nya..
But I actually feel like writing something anyways. heh
It's been 4 weeks into the new semester, and Alhamdulillah everything has been going smoothly. I have only 2 days of classes for this semester, having a long weekend, as I have no class on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. I actually hate having too much time, because I tend to not do anything on those free days, not even have fun. Those weekdays I usually wake up and get stuck between having fun and doing work and end up doing nothing except clean. Clean my room,. do laundry, do the dishes...haha...anything to pass the time.
I have officially sold my car that has been a good servant for 3 years. This means I have to take the bus to uni on tuesdays and thursdays. I really don't mind, I kind of like it because I know I won't be getting on a bus back home in Malaysia, i'd rather walk to be honest, and I did and have done so a few times when I couldn't borrow mak or kak yang's car. The buses here are free for students, and add to that the money I save from renewing the registration and warrant of fitness, I could probably get a treat for myself before I go back home.
I went in to RedEx again, you know the place that I have been doing one off jobs at. Jobs at RedEx are normally really easy, but tedious and annoying to do because the boss is somewhat IT "blind" and he asks me to come in and fix the same problems, most of which he creates and re creates himself. Sometimes I feel guilty..sometimes, charging him for the same things, but I have justified that with me walking to work from home, which is 20 minutes away from RedEx. Also, I am working towards a new phone, so any extra income is welcome.
Besides that...
I have been thinking a lot about human behavior lately. How great god is that god is able to create so many different personalities and weaknesses in each life form. I have been wondering about evil people. I think that everyone has evil thoughts somewhere in thier mind, and I think the real psychos let those thoughts out and act on them. Murderers, rapists...I really wonder what goes through their minds when they do such evil things...or they themselves don't even know what they're thinking and doing?
Sorry for those dark thoughts...
So...
