As I typed that "2016" as the title for this blog post, it reminds me of one of my favourite movies (don't judge please LOL) "2012", the end-of-the-world movie starring John Cusack and some other notable actors whom I can't just recall their names. Anyway, it's been a great year I think, and I couldn't thank Him enough for all the things he has blessed me with. My bad, scratch that off, for everything he has been blessing me with. And I look forward to 2017. Man, 3 series dah! Maybe before I sign off (gotta sleep early to catch Liverpool vs Manchester City with JB Liverpool gang) I'd like to touch on one or two things. I just can't help but feel a bit, disturbed, by the reactions shared on Facebook because of the passing of a number of famous celebrities. Sure, I too was sad upon learning the latest news of the Carrie Fisher's death. It is just that, I think it is an exaggeration to claim 2016 is the worst year ever, and how 2016 ju...

"He's here, right in front of you, silly!" "Yep, I still have that feeling. But of course I gotta lie when you asked me that, dummy!" "Isshhh..comel natang ni...Damn, what did she just ask me?"  I mean this kind of Crush. =P "LOL of course I couldn't guess the song you played just now. I was lost looking at your eyes..." "Okay, this happens too often, I gotta focus and listen to what she's saying. Can't...get...lost...again staring at her eyes...okay I give up." "Were you talking about me just now? Oh, conceited much Danny?" "Of course I remember everything you told me, I may be caught daydreaming when you talk but all them words are registered in my memory. I got a huge memory castle designated for you only. LOL" Other versions coming soon -  Family's, Bruh's, Work's. Hahahaha

"Ini satu kisah. Serigala dan biri-biri. Mereka tinggal bersebelahan, dipisahkan oleh pagar. Serigala selama ini tidak pula ambil kisah akan biri-biri...sehinggalah pada suatu hari...lagipun, bukankah semua cerita kanak-kanak bermula dengan, "Pada suatu hari"? Serigala baru tersedar akan biri-biri di sebelah kawasannya. Serigala senang sekali berkawan dengan biri-biri. Tapi serigala tertanya-tanya, adakah biri-biri senang sekali mempunyai teman seperti serigala? Lagipun, bolehkah mereka berkawan rapat? Hari demi hari, serigala cuba untuk menyeberang masuk kawasan biri-biri. Pagar dirobohkan setiap kali dia seberang. Mungkin takut, mungkin terkejut, mungkin juga tidak mempunyai rasa serupa seperti serigala, biri-biri menolak baik pelawaan serigala setiap kali serigala datang. Serigala pun sedar, biri-biri tidak boleh dipaksa dan serigala tidak pula berniat untuk menjadikan biri-biri makanannya, hanya sekadar teman rapat. Jadi, selepas setiap kali ditolak serigala ak...

He's been busy googling. To him, Google is his best friend. Best mate. His guru. His advisor. His consultant. His all. Well, almost all. There is one thing Google can't be. Sure, Google can keep him less bored, entertained and stimulated as well. But never did he think of ending up like Joaquin Phoenix in 'Her'. He's still at it. Searching through the archive of knowledge and junks. None seems to be the answers. Or maybe none that he likes to hear, see and read. He's getting more restless. Almost like a boy frantically looking for his toy to accompany him to sleep. A reassurance, kind of? After a while, composing himself to the chair, he breathes out "I feel..." "I feel..." over and over again. He does feel more comfortable, at peace with himself after telling himself. That he is the master of himself. The owner of any emotion, feeling running in his veins. And he will be the one, deciding the course of his action.

The Malays I met are walking contradictions. Or maybe they just give off this "I deserve more than another typical Malay" vibe. Or maybe I am assuming such because I think I deserve more than the typical Malay lady whose favourite pastime involving any Malay romcom on TV 3, Astro channels. Or just so happened the Malays I met think too much about the uncertainty that is the future. That it paralyses both the Malays I met and know, and I. It pisses me off that I am more troubled by this petty problem as compared to World crisis. Listening to love songs got me riled up and all worked up. Listening to news... let's leave it at that.

Just a barrage of quotes. Oh what a tangled web we weave, When first we practice to deceive. -Walter Scott - It is better to write for your self and have no public, than to write for the public and have no self . -Cyril Connoly- How people treat you is their karma; how you react is yours  -Wayne Dyer- Death ends a life, not a relationship - Mitch Albom- What was silent in the father speaks in the son, and often I found in the son the unveiled secret of the father -Friedrich Nietzsche- The minute people fall in love, they become liars -Harlan Ellison-

"Perempuan itu sungguh luar biasa peliknya. Baru diperlakukan sebegitu rupa, terus kejam hatinya tertutup untuk pemuda lain. Sedang yang pemuda, menggagahkan diri juga untuk meluahkan isi hatinya, perasaannya kepada perempuan. Dikorek segala isi, diletak elok atas perhiasan. Dipersembahkan pula kepada perempuan. Apa? Perempuan itu punya hak untuk menolak? Ya, sudah tentu perempuan itu punya hak untuk menerima atau menolak isi itu. Tapi, cuba kau bayangkan si pemuda itu kalau sudah beberapa kali ditolak. Aku tidak mahu membicarakan tentang perempuan itu. Cukuplah semua orang sekarang memperjuangkan kesejahteraan wanita, memperkasakan mereka dengan ilmu, harta dan pangkat. Mari sini dengar bicara aku tentang pemuda-pemuda yang ikhlas dalam hubungan mereka dengan perempuan-perempuan dalam hidup mereka. Apa itu? Kalau sudah ikhlas kenapa harus diharap balasan perasaan yang serupa daripada perempuan? Ah, itu yang aku nantikan. Soalan itu. Kau dengar sini, dan kau lihat setiap kat...
