This weeks blazing track come from

1) The Higher - Its only natural
What?? They're signed by epitaph? Nope, they are not hardcore but they play an awesome loungey music style. Huge chorus and can quickly grab ears to keep this in your iPod.

2) The Cab - Take my hand feat. Cassidy Pope
Cassidy Pope is cute so this song is a must.

3) I set my friends on fire - Things that rhyme with orange
Who knew hardcore could be funny? Awesome spacey intro like what owl city plays, bone shattering breakdowns. And this is the song to layan this week.

4) Daughtry - September
This ballad hits it right and just the way to end september. Karaoke to it and have fun with this tune.

5) Deaf Havana - Smiles all around
they just keep getting better and better!!! A tsunami sized chorus to compliment they're development.

6) Smosh - Sex ed rocks
WTF-ness!!!! This song is too funny!!

7) P.R.E - detestable
Looking for a local but slower A7x?? Here they are! Electrifying chorus with a slower rythm. Music equilibrium. (kena train lagu ni sebenarnya utk recording P.R.E)

8) Hey Monday - 6 Months
Sometimes, we want to tangkap jiwang gak right? Yeah, no matter how metal or hardcore you are you still hav a soft spot to be triggered by this song.

9) Paramore - Pressure
With the exam seasons starting and well underway for some institutions, pressure is building up. And the only song to understand what your going through is this

10) Si Bodoh - Serangga Pilihan
Best song in the world. Period! link is here


The higher cause they're 'high'er???

Where are malay men?

Something is really wrong here
Assalamualaikum dan salam satu malaysia.. Following government's urge for everyone to say salam satu malaysia.

Yesterday, i went to see the IID (invention, innovation & design) competition at UiTM's glorious DSB and annexe. It was a very intereseting competition with a wide range of inventions from robots to weird food (apparently good) otak lekor. Even with all the interesting products presented there, one study really caught my eye.

It was how masculine are Malay men.

Too bad the booth was empty so i couldn't ask for the findings. Nevertheless, how masculine are malay men? It is quite apparent that malay men are getting weak right now.Malay women in the other hand are rising to fill the gap men created.

It can be seen that now Malay women playing a big role in everything. From kenduri kendara, to managing warung makan, to small industries i.e belacan making, to even stepping forward on occassion which should be handled by the males. In organisations, women are stepping forward and guys don't even want to volunteer. the guys duduk kat blakang doing nothing.

There is even a saying that (sorry i cant cite it, cant remember the source) if you walk with a malay woman in the 60s, they walk behind you, if you walk with a malay woman now, they walk all over you.

Masculine man

Feminine man. Wadefak!!
And whats all this, 'i wanna go for the jambu korean look'? Real men are not supposed to have perfect skin tone or clean eyes. We are supposed to have features that are masculine. Not weak or approaching girl like. Jambang, scars, good physique, strong.

Men should rise to power again! We want our rights!! Discounts at futsal places, discount at Barra. But i don't think i would want a maternity leave. And guys, dun hold her handbag while shopping or jalan2, makes us look weak. Gi toilet kejap xpe kot???

Remember, Allah lebih menyayangi hambanya yang kuat.

2/10/2010 P.R.E and Miang Sengsara make history

It was iCheme sports day dinner that night and it was an eventful night. It was both bands' first show and it was amazing. Everyone was getting pumped up and had high motivation to play. Expectations were high and the pressure was hitting red-lines.

Both bands are mates
Both bands are unsigned but are awesome. Practiced hard the whole week. The bands working like an organism and learnt a lot from one another.



Miang sengsara almost hit a brick wall when vocalist, Aimi lost her voice. Her voice did sound like a man and the band insisted on her to keep singing. They kept waiting for her voice to come back but it didn't. But, the show must go on! So, they were forced to import aggression vocalist Ejad Hafidz to step in and learn the songs and sing. Ejad did a lovely job of fronting and MCing. Lets pray Aimi gets her voice back soon.


Miang Playing Dirty Little Secret

The Miangs played four song. Meant to live by switchfoot, All-American Reject's wonder hit, Dirty Little Secret, a raya song by Mamat entitled Ku Pohon Restu Ayah Bonda and a single from Aizat, Hanya Kau yang Mampu sung by Cik Najmiddin.


P.R.E warming up

P.R.E which meanwhile took a new vocalist, Zurainie to front the band. They played an exploding cover of Seize the Day by Avenged Sevenfold and a rocked up version of a Siti Nurhaliza song. But unfortunately luck wasn't on their side and they couldn't play their wonder cover Sweet Child of mine. The band was saddened by the news and stopped halfway of their show and went down. Nevertheless, their performance was awesome.


Fickrie: I'm disappointed

Fickrie later announced his disappointment of not getting to utilise his 'Waah' Pedal and that he was pissed of at the artinerary. Ensem also stated to the press that it hurts that they couldn't reach the climax of their performance. But none was as frustrated as band veteran Baiem. Nevertheless, it was a good platform for them to start off and lets hope one day they make it big.

Anyhow, it was a gravity defying performance from both. The bands stated that they had a good time never mind the setbacks. If one day you hear the names of P.R.E or Miang Sengsara, remember that you heard it first on FourWords. Buy their album or get them on itunes.

Have some eye candy!!

Fad things when i grew up in the nineties

How was it when u guys grew up?? It was probably the best times in our life. Especially around the age of 8-12. Things we watched, things we played really gave us a big impact on who we are today.

So here are a few fads during the nineties..

1. Digimon
During my childhood days, it was a dream to have one of these. All your friends have it and you go to the surau to meet friends and battle with them. Thats a bad example kids. there would be skills on how to win battles too.. tekan sana, tekan sini and skill tembak three taiks.. haha!! it was legendary

Well, Digimon came to fame due to the existence of the Tamagochi. A Tamagochi is a japanese invention, which you will have a digital virtual pet in a handheld. So, the pets need to be fed and gave attention. And one day, Japanese bookies got nothing to bet on other than tamagochis. Soon the bookies got tamagochis to fight each other, with slight mods. Thats how digimon got invented. At least the true story la.


2.Ultraman

Ultraman is a mystical (is it??) alien from outer space which takes the form of a human on earth, and has the ability to transform to its original form to save earth. Ultramans are really tall (like hantu galah one) and can fire laser rays from their forearms and kill monsters.

Ultramans influenced a lotta kids. Kids wanted to cartwheel like ultraman. but even with so much i9nfluence from ultraman, i've always wondered why ultramans need to 'fire' when their energy is at a critical level. After they have fired, they have to go charge up and fly to the sun. near the sun is the world of ultraman where all the ultramans are.. Ultraman ayah, ultraman mak, abang adik ipar, sepupu and all are.. And to this day, i still play ultraman with my baby cuzin and watch Ultraman Mebius and Cosmos on TV. Its cool. SPOILER ALERT, mebius ada family of ultra!! or was it cosmos?

3.Tamiya Racing Cars
DASH YONKURO!!! Siapa tak pernah ada kereta 4wd dash yonkuro mmg kesian laa. These are kit cars which we assemble on our own and we race them on a track made for it. or in my case, longkang sekolah. The cars are extremely modifiable and can go really fasst. It became more famous with the show dash Yonkuro on TV.


Kids would tend to modify them by taking the body off, putting on metal bumpers so protect the plastic chassis, take of the front wheels and use a 'ball-pen' type wheel. Modifications in motor was also done by adding more copper wires and changing the wires. some kids would go "waa!! Kau punya kaler Ijau!! Laju Gila!!". And because the cars eat batteries for breakfast, lunch snd dinner, snack in between as well, we would put the batteries under bright sun to recharge them. I study chemistry but i still dunno why it seemed to work at that tym.

Well, these are the few things that most kids who gew up in the nineties would remember. Lost now are those fond memories (and culture) of going out to play these toys with friends, the spirit of competition. Now kids play games too much. Its unhealthy!!

Today

Well, hari ni hari aku went and met my ex, Hazwani. She wanted help cause dia nak gi btolkan ticket flight dia.

well, everything was okay and maybe the awkwardness ada la skit on my part. We broke up from a long distant relationship and this was the first tym i met her since the broke up which was last year.

We went to Jalan Sultan Sulaiman, Gulf Air office.Then, all the flashbacks start to blast into my head. About where we went before and what has happened before. I was having bad case of twilight vision probably.

Through my past relationship with her, there are more good things than bad things that have happened. But the planets didn't align and we didn't make it to the end. Anyhow it was a good experience for my life and the friendship we have now is among the things i cherish most in the world. We're still friends and thats better than breaking off completely.

Its not that I'm not over her. Its just the history of what has happened before has really gave me a punch in the face. She also gave me our book which swept me in an explosion of emotions. An awesome Man utd book and a birthday card. That was really nice and i like the book very much.

Its good seeing her. Seeing that she was well and has moved on. All i hope for her is the best of everything and a bright future with her bf now. Have a happy life Hazwani and may Allah's blessings light your way to a Jannah on earth and in the afterlife.

A song i hope to give sum1 one day

Nak bagi alasan jugak

Oleh kerana tadi saya telah pergi membetulkan tayar basikal saya.
saya tidak dapat hadir ke class.
maka saya memohon maaf.


sekian.

THE solution

Once upon a a time, not long ago. I had a dream. And dalam mimpi tu. I nak sarung jersey Malaysia and main kat world stage.

Well, lama-lama, mimpi tu hilang apabila my makcik took the dream away and stomped it on the ground. i got to play for my school but my auntie didnt let me and that was the time i felt as low as dirt. Tears, blood and sweat ran down the drain. but even so, i kept on playing football and still love the sport until today. The only one true love.

Well, being a player and a Malaysian, memang nak la malaysia football to progress. And i think i have the solution. we need to close down futsal fields and build more full-length fields.


We need more fields like this!!!! MOAR! Like Hackney Marshes!!

We have to encourage more people to play football and not futsal. Why you ask? Well, the thing with futsal is that it weakens basic football skills. For example, futsal players can't really head the ball as good and as powerful as footballers can. and they cant shoot as accurate enough and other basic skills. Also not to forget their fitness levels.

It saddens me when seeing nice full length fields being used in smaller scales. Nape la taknak main padang besar? If main padang besar memang la penat skit tp lagi best!! Whats the point of cramming up to 30 players in a small field and having cones as goals when you have the full sized goals?? APA?? Takda siapa nak jadi keeper?? Don't worry cause their will be someone. Just main padang besar laa!!!

And you kids!! Get up from the couch and stop playing PES 2011 or FIFA 11. playing that will not give you football sense. Watch and study the game. We should start rectifying the porblem with the grassroots NOW!

We need sunday leagues like what the Europeans have. There are many people that would give themselves for the game if there are means of expressing their love of the game. Having their own kampung teams and being coached by the pakciks. Its all good but all the weekend leagues have disappeared. People need to play seasonal football all year round and this must start since the kids are seven up to grandads aged 99! no matter the age! Football leagues must start from now~!

Now don't let me start on FAM. We all know FAM would not do anything for our football. We need to start our own football revolution. Start out own teams and leagues for the kids. Well, if Malaysia don't start soon, I'm taking my kids to UK to grow up then.

Ye, saya memang gila basikal

Kebelakangan ini, saya acap kali menunggang basikal ke class. Saya selalu la menunggang basikal adik saya.. MTB 24" ngan shimano v brake system.. 21 speed. So okay la nak memanjat bukit Delima yang tinggi tuh.


Inilah bunny hop. Bukan yang dimaksudkan dalam entri

Tapi di dalam perjalanan saya ke class, apabila nak naik curb selalu ada problem. Masalahnya saya xdapat nak bunnyhop ke atas curb.. Hurm.. Camne nak buat ni? Bila fikir2 balik. Basikal besar ni susah gak nak lompat-lompat.

Lantas saya pon berfikir.. Jika saya menggunakan basikal BMX, pasti saya mampu melakukannya.

Tak lama selepas itu, saya google BMX. baca sana dan baca sini. Tengok youtube video dah berbagai-bagai lagi usaha saya untuk menambahkan pengetahuan tentang basikal BMX ini.

Semakin lama saya membaca, semakin pasiionate saya terhadap geometry dan gaya tunggangan basikal BMX. Bila dah excited macam ini, saya pon nak la mencari basikal BMX dalam harga yang murah. Harga beskal baru macam dalam flyer ni.


Ada sesiapa nak sedekah time2 Ramadhan ni?? hehe..

Tapi, harapan saya untuk BMX murah hancur berkecai. Second hand je pon dah RM800. Sungguh mengecewakan. Dahla kerja part time gaji tak dapat2 lagi. Namun, harapan saya tetap tidak terkubur. Saya akan kumpul resources dan dalam setahun nak beli yang baru. Tak kisah la apa orang nak kata. Saya nak main basikal juga! Nanti gi ofis boleh naik basikal. WEEE~~!!

Why didn't we thought of that?

Scientist. Chemist, Physicist, Biologist.. Profession yang if di Malaysia ni mcm tak berapa famous laa..

Well, the stigma yang orang bagi kat scientist pon selalu negative. Scientists usually get the negative perception, wants to conquer the world, evil and also in the movies, the last person the hero listens to.

Well fellow readers, scientist are not evil. Mostly we are cool people. We are harmless. And we are people just like you. Just i dunno why, selalu kluar technical terms ble bertutur. Maybe thats our weekness.

And I am quite saddened by the fact that my fellow colleagues who score better at me seem to not have the mentality of being a scientist. They have great potential but they limit theirselves to this "oh, dah dapat degree, pastu nak keje, pastu nak kawen". We are scientists sebenanrnya because we have a duty to fulfill. Our minds should be open wide, we should think of all the possibilities. All the parameters concerning what we do.

I want my fellow friends, to think why u are a scientist. Why did we turn our brain to mush by learning things like Organometallic chem and Thermodynamics. Bukannya untuk jadi chemist semata, or QC but to be at the frontiers of knowledge and technology. Lets us share that dream okay?

Banyak lagi I can ramble but lets save that for later. I am not ashamed of saying that i am a nerd, I am not ashamed of being a geek. Cause thats juz just who we scientists are.

Yup, my life now is literraly like these dudes.

Dah ramai naik basikal gi campus!!!

It was a time not long ago... xda la lama sangat about one and a half years back, naik basikal gi class was agak lonely laa.. cause xnampak lak ramai naik basikal. well, i stopped from going to class naik basikal sebab basikal kena curik. lahanat btol siapa amek basikal aku. warna kelabu, brand raleigh. derailluer depan dia rosak. basikal buruk pon ada org curik.

And the bike dorang ramai guna is fixie. Dia single speed so xtau la camne act dorang naik bukit tepi Kolej Delima tu. but the bikes nampak ringan laa..

well skarang ni, nampak ramai yang cycling ke campus and rasa best plak. and ramai naik basikal fixie.. basikal camnie

This bike pakai road or trek frame and a fixed gear kat crank dia. So if kita kayuh ke belakang, mmg akan gi ke belakang laa.. So we can go brakeless. And because the tayar tu nipis, the bike is light and if coupled with other light stuff, mmg ringan..

Lama2 reminiscing on this bike rindu my old bike. Bodo siapa curik basikal aku!!!

Morning walk

HUWAAA!!! Bangun pagi awal rasa boring pula. So, I went out and jalan-jalan kat tasik. It was a serene morning. Asyik enjoy pagi-pagi kat katil je, this time kita tukar ke luar pula.

Orang main taichi

Sampah! Makes me weep seeing this.

Makciks enjoying some poco-poco.

Mak ajar saya main bola macam Messi boleh?

Memang terbaik!!!

Have you ever wondered?

I've come across this book. the title is La tahzan: Jangan Bersedih. And Alhamdulillah i have come by it. And now, dah tak rasa sedih anymore.

Yeah, this book but diff cover.

Among the things that are i can highlight in that book is that we have to be really thankful towards everything in our life and one more thing is that, for what ever that we lose, with sabar, Allah will give us something much better.

I've come by an old friend of mine and he showed me the book and i was like, MashaAllah, how 'He' plans everything. Before i go to the points, how that night went not like how i planned it turns out to be the best plan ever (Allah's plan). Thanks Raushan for sharing the book.

And back to the points, the first point to be exact. Alhamdulillah i broke up with her. Its not that a party betrayed another party or anything, its just that we didn't work out. She is an awesome girl and her name is Hazwani. Alhamdulillah i broke up and after 9 months, i can now start to walk again. I can appreciate my family for the support they gave me and how they calmed me down. And i can also bersyukur that i have friends, all of them who were by me at the time of need. Maybe what happened between her and me is a lesson for me to never underappreciate anyone else in my life.

And now that she has moved on, I can be sure that he is better for her. And now, with sabar, i would find someone better than her. And now, i knew what i would look for in a girl, i respect girls more than ever and that i can enjoy life and being in this state of single-dome without any remorse. The best lesson for me was, maybe, just maybe that with losing her, i lost my old self only to be replaced by a newer, better me.

This break up has been much more of a spiritual journey now and everything feels magical. Its a lesson that thank god happens to me now, then it to happen later in life.

At this moment, everything feels better and feels like everything is in place. Who we are right now, the conditions we are in, everything is for a reason and there is hikmah for everything. Its just a matter of time and heart whether we see the hikmah. I lost a love only to have feel even more loved.

This song really gets me

well, there is this someone who really means a lot to me but in life, we don't always get what we want. this song just says it all.. figure out what the song means. and for those who have a special someone in their lives, maybe u would like to give them this song. as well as if you have a special someone but you cant say what you feel towards them.

Bullet For My Valentine - Road to Nowhere

Tired and lonely still we stand

On a road to nowhere

Trapped in a world of endless days,

My engine's stalling (Road to nowhere)

Body and mind are breaking down

On a road to nowhere

Destiny silent, hear no sound

As I wait forever.

Farewell, I'll miss you

I'm sick of these goodbyes

'Cause it tore us apart right from the start

I miss you

Feelings have failed me

Left me cold

On this road to nowhere

(Road to Nowhere)

Dreams are my saviors,

Save me now,

'Cause I know I'm fallin' (Oh yes)

Farewell, I'll miss you

I'm sick of these goodbyes

'Cause it tore us apart right from the start

I miss you

Candles burn slowly,

Flames shine so brightly

Light in the darkness,

Save me from madness again

Only the lonely,

could possibly know me

Heat keeps on rising,

Fire engulfs me again

KEEPS ON RISING

Farewell, I'll miss you

I'm sick of these goodbyes

'Cause it tore us apart right from the start

I miss you

Farewell, I'll miss you

I'm sick of these goodbyes

'Cause it tore us apart right from the start

I miss you

I dedicate this song to her

Hardcore pon nak jiwang gak

here are three songs to put into consideration... satu is escape the fate - something, the used - empty with you and lastly lagu story of the year - until the day i die.

here are a few lines that really caught me

-if u wanna say goodbye to everyhting i cud say goodbye to, i cud be right here empty with you-

-until the day i die, i'll spill my heart for you-

-And now you wish that you met someone, and now u wish that you meant something to somebody else-

Lets go!!!

This is the first entry. woohoo!!!! never imagined i cud talk myself into doing this. but i am awfully bored and xtau nak buat apa. mostly becuz i am sick today.
