Time Travels Faster Than a Speeding Bullet.

I can't believe it's been a month that i didn't update. I sooooo don't remember what has happened for the past month. I guess i'll just update what i remember. Heh.

25Aug-2Sept - Went through the useless 7 days clerk course at CDA Jalan Bahar. Tiring riding to and fro from east to west, with the traffic and stuff. I remember having dinner together with some of my platoon mate at Jurong Point Banquet on Fri. The tomyam was super nice there. On Sat, 2 days before Fasting, Hazim had his birthday bbq at Changi beach. On Sun had the SMRT Challenge. So much of getting top 10. There were about 250 teams, and we were team number 197 to reach the finishing line. Haha. It wasn't like last year's where my team got 8th place; this year there were way too many team and the challenge wasn't much of a challenge at all.

3 Sept - First day at Tampines 2nd Division HQ Firestation. First day was a bore! Just slacked thru the day doing almost nothing. The people there was alright i guess. I'm posted to the Personnel Department under Admin/Finance section. Farid floorball is in the same department.

8 Sept - Went to break fast with Mindaktif people. Headed for Tong Seng after work. To avoid the ERP i parked at the open carpark opp Gotham City building, but the parking lot for bikes was full, so i just parked beside the bike parking lot. And after breakfast, i got a $25 fine. WTF. I only parked there for an hour. Why must the person come only when i parked it there. Shit happens man. Then we went jalan2 at Geylang. Bought plenty of food, then went to Joo Chiat rooftop to chill. Then it rained heavily. Heh. So we went to Haig road to have some hot drinks while waiting for the rain to stop to go home.

12 Sept - Went to break fast with my BIE juniors. Yasir was there too. Ate at Kampung Chai Chee near Mjd Kassim there. The food was disappointing lah. So very the normal. Then we went to Geylang for a while before Shu had a migraine and wanted to go home. Heh. Walked around for a while more before heading home. Then later at night met up with Bashey and Fahmy and Fariz at McD CPF building. Did some catching up.

13 Sept - Went to break fast at Bedok with Aleef, Dan, Man and Aishah. Aleef said it was supposed to be a platoon outing, but in the end only 4 of us came. Haha. Ate at Simpang, then went to Changi Village area to watch Man Utd vs Liverpool match cos it was full house at Simpang. Man Utd lost! Arggh!

19 Sept - Went to break fast with Hazim and Gang. Ate at New Victory, then sheesha-ed at Arab Street. Took lotsa pics in this one alley full of graffiti. Haha. Went there by public. Its been a while since i took the MRT. Heh.

21 Sept - Went to Simpang after terawih to join Kaz, Zulie, Leha and Zee to watch Man utd vs Chelsea. And this time it was a draw. Haiya. Sadded.

22 Sept - This was a FINE day. I came home from work as usual. I just parked my bike by my block. Terawih-ed at home with the family, then my mother asked me to go Sheng Siong to get some stuff. So i went down at 9.40pm. And there was a ticket on my tank cover. ARGH! And it was $100 fine! Wtf! And the worst thing is, the time of the ticket was 9.30pm! If i had quickly went down i could have avoided the tix. Haiz. Normally my place won't have those summon people walking around. Haiz. Just sway seh.

24 Sept. Went to HDB office at Pasir Ris to appeal for the fine. Went to Vivo after work to join Hazim and gang. Everyone bought food from Harbor Front int food court and ate at sky park. Then Nabeel had his birthday surprise. Haha. It was super nice. After the birthday bash and throwing him in the water, it was close to 10pm. Wanted to play pool, but the arcade was closed. So we went down to the first floor and sat at one of the weird shaped seats. Then Saufi started first; he put his cap on the floor and started to pretend to busk for money. Then i joined. Haha. It was hilarious lah. The two of us to this big picture by a shop and did different poses, pretending to be part of the pic. And all the strangers who walked by were staring at us. Haha. and the rest of the gang was laughing away. Haha. Till one point of time when a stranger went to me while i was posing and keeping still, put his hand around me and took a pic. Haha! Wth. After almost half an hour of doing that, then we finally headed home. Haha.! It was a nice birthday surprise man.

I wish i wish... Haha just wishful thinking that i have every year at the start of the year. It doesn't happen.

26 Sept - Went to break fast at Malik's place. Then chilled at his place before going home to take my soccer gears and headed for Cage at Kallang. Played form 11pm-2am, then went to get a drink at Toa Payoh before heading home. 2 cheerleaders came, who were lost in a taxi for 1 and a half hours. Haha.

27 Sept - Went to Tamp Polyclinic to get medication for my foot rot. Then went to Tamp lib. Then went to Simei to get some kuih stuff for my sis. Then went to Tamp HQ at 4.30pm to be driven to HomeTeamNS Buit Batok for AGM (annual general meeting). Waste my time. Reached Tamp HQ at 8.30pm. Then headed to Arab Street to sheesha with the Corals. Then went to Purmai to play soccer with the Corals. Then went to Cage at Kallang to continue playing soccer till 2am. Then went to Qiyam at Istighfar. Managed to get 20 mins of sleep. Then sahur-ed at the mosque, then went home to sahur some more. Heh. Then finally after Subuh, slept. And woke up at 3pm today. Phew. So many thens.

And so that wraps up what happened so far, among playing soccer at Coral Pri almost every weekend afternoon, terawih most of the nights and some trips to Geylang with my dearest Mother. Time really flies. I still don't have the Raya mood. And this year round i don't think i'll be getting duit collection. Heh. Holy sit i'm getting old.! Till then. Todays break fast is Rite Pizza! Woohoo! Adios.

Ok i just finished watching a malay movie at TV3 called "Ihsan", and i feel like blogging about it. I'll post about whats i've been up to later. Heh.

First let me tell about the movie. It's a cliche storyline; about a son who abandons his parents to marry a rich person's daughter. So the movie started off with the crazy person who is always tailing this lawyer named Zamri. So one day the lawyer decided to find out who the crazy person is. He found two people who used to work with this crazy person. He was told that the crazy person is an ex-lawyer named Nordin. So Zamri told this two fellas to tell him why Nordin was crazy and tailing him wherever he go at work.

So the story of Nordin goes like this. He wanted to make it big as a magistrate, and made promises to his parents that he'll take very good care of them when he is successful. He finally made as a magistrate an owns his own firm. Then he suddenly disappeared. His father then found out that he was gonna get married to a rich man's daughter a day before his marriage. So the father went home and told his mother about it; that their son is to ashamed to let his bride's family know his parents were of middle class people. So the father told the mother not to go to the wedding, but she insisted. So she went there the next day, only to be spotted by Nordin from far and was told to go away, to the extend that he pushed her to make her go away. At this point, his wife saw, then he pretended that his mother was a client who was insistent on him handling a case even though it was his wedding. His mother just kept quiet and cried.

So time flies and Nordin enjoys his luxurious life. At one point of time his mother came to his big bungalow to give him food, but again, he treated his mother like an animal and forced he into a cab to be sent away. From this point onwards his mother became ill, and at home, while with the father, she said that Nordin is no son of hers. Soon Nordin's wealth diminished, his firm went bankrupt, and he owe people a lot of money. He lost his job, then he lost his wife when his wife finally found out that he had lied to her all along about his parents, then lost his house. He finally lost his mind as well.

So Zamri decided to confront the mentally unbalanced Nordin why he was stalking him. Nordin said he liked watching Zamri as he represents the son that Nordin wasn't; an honest successful lawyer with a loyal wife. So Zamri decided to sent Nordin back to his parents. It turned out his parents have moved back to their village, and just as they reach the village, his mother passed away and the villagers were saying prayers for her. Nordin didn't get a chance to apologize to his mother; he went berserk and said that the body wasn't his mother and ran around the village, where it tripped and died among rocks.

During the funeral process, while cleansing Nordin's body, the Tok Imam and his helpers were stunned by the awful carcass smell that was coming from the body. So 2 bodies were to be send to the graveyard; one is Nordin and the other is his mother. His mother's coffin was carried up by 4 people as usual, but for his, twice the number of people were needed. His coffin was suddenly very heavy. As they reached the graveyard, his coffin couldn't fit into the hole. 3 times the villagers dug the hole bigger, 3 times the coffin still couldn't fit in. Finally the Tok Imam said to the father that it is time to forgive his son, and he did so, and finally the coffin could fit into the hole in the ground. Just as they were about to cover the whole, his wife came running and said she wanted to see him one last time. As the yopen his coffin and uncovered his face, they were shocked and his wife fainted; his face has already decomposed and there were maggots all over the face.

As both bodies were finally buried. Zamri sat by a tree. The Tok Imam said to him that we must always be loyal to our parents as they have brought us up and will always care for us. As he said that, Zamri cried. After the event, he went to his mother's kampung and seeked forgiveness from his mother, who was actaully disappointed with him as he put his work in front of his mother. The show ended with both hugging each other in tears.

And i was in tears as well. Heh. It was a damn touching show, and its as if i'm living Zamri's role. Its really scary to know what would happen if we ever were derhaka towards our parents, especially our mother, who carried us around for nine months and brought us to this world. I can't imagine what's it like not to have my parents around. I love my mother and father so much!!! So lets just reflect on how we have been treating our parents, and i think just by saying that we love them every morning would make their day so much happier.

Till then people. Adios.
