Quartet:
Lida Rose, I'm home again, Rose
To get the sun back in the sky.
Lida Rose, I'm home again, Rose
About a thousand kisses shy.

[Listen/watch more here]

Sometime I don't feel like I'm home or even at home. But I've been home, at home for a long good time. Still, it doesn't make me affording all the comfort to be indulge in. I ask myself sometime do I really belong here? What if I go elsewhere again, for good? Then the inner dilemma comes in when realization on my personal obligation towards matters I'm responsible for.


But I do want to go away, and I do want to stay.

Dangerous Cell Phone Wave is about to kill everyone in Malaysia

When I tried googling this I couldn't find any entry so I decided to write one on my own.

God's Loved 1: off ur phone
Azhan: what?
God's Loved 1: read ma nick
Azhan: got what?
God's Loved 1: they will be sending hazardous wave tonite
Azhan: who?
God's Loved 1: dono. but to be safe
Azhan: who told you all this rumor?
God's Loved 1: seong peng
Azhan: how am i supposed to wake up and all?
God's Loved 1: im asking maself the same question
Azhan: if im destined to die then die la
God's Loved 1: LOLZ. thats one way to look at it
Azhan: yalor. ive been exposed to handphone all my adolescent's life, and i might be impotence already for putting phone in pocket all the time
God's Loved 1: hahaha
Azhan: so do come to my funeral if i die anytime
God's Loved 1: hahaha choi
God's Loved 1: wont la
Azhan: haha ok go touch wood
God's Loved 1: lol

So, I couldn't exactly find any article or news regarding this particular rumor and would not switch off my phone. Not that I care about it but it doesn't make sense. Who on bloody earth would want to create another disaster in this country? Maybe those 3 big-ass-shot telecommunication companies that make money out of the poverty done by themselves again obtaining money each time we pre-paid user go and top-up our money-eating-prepaid-packages.

The good news? Always buy shares from these companies and you will be rich as them. Spend money and earn it back at the same time. Maybe you could notice I watched CNBC and Bloomberg too much, I speak economics now. Not that I'm anywhere near maths crap.

Happy May 13th

and no, I still have no job.

Unfortunately, for the island that I indulge to love so much; getting people to enjoy it more than I do; introducing it to the world on what beauty is has; the charm and colorful history; still, despite of that getting a part-time job seemed to be far from reality. Or its even harder due to the skin color I have.

Yup, I'm still a Bolehlander and hold a legal Malaysian passport and still have my citizenship.

Back in the US, I was asked if I was interested to be adopted as I was not 18 yet. Unfortunately, I declined. Otherwise I could have access to colleges with generous lump sum of financial aid everywhere that see more than straight As as requirement.

I've been everywhere, and never get any phone call back from anyone. Its been 3 weeks. My family is running out of money; I have to admit - bad money management and scam influence - lead to such an unsuccessful retirement for my parents.

Definitely, I learned it the harder way. Having no $ in savings, investment nor even not owning any property yet having liable asset is deemed a reality.

Still, I appreciate and thankful for still being able to have food at home to eat.

Forty years ago or so, my mum only eat rice with soy sauce or fried egg if they were lucky. While my dad? Living in palm oil plantation he was lucky enough to go fishing.

Therefore, I'm not giving up and will resume my job-hunting again.

Thou must...

..LOVE Darren Bennett Star, Michael Patrick King and Candace Bushnell for being one of the geniuses in the world.

I'm not just a fan, in fact I'm an addict. Quick, go listen to Ella Fitzgerald. Shame on you if you never even heard of her!

Azhan found THE Prada

An unusual and untypical manner for me considering the fact that I'm an unusually good hobo person, I found a good outfit that comes with a great bag. Not any ordinary bag, but just simple and nice enough to fit in a Macbook.

Photo stolen from BryanBoy

Yes, a Macbook which I will get before the year ends. Why do I need a MacBook? Because I just need one, duh. And yes it will be useful for college. When I find the right one I will go to one.

I can't log into Facebook and my life is over

I'm Facebook deprived.
I'm a Facebook addict.
I can't live without Facebook.
Facebook is not accessible.
My life is over without Facebook.

Oddness.

I have done several odd things lately.

I've attended Vaisakhi's Dinner and I know what Vaisakhi celebration is all about, of course with the awesomeness of Punjabi Dancing Party later.
I've stayed at the ultimate Eastern & Oriental Hotel.
I've watched reruns of Oprah, about "The Secrets behind the Secrets"
I'm getting a job, or at least applied to work at Starbucks.
I found out that Monkeys with Tarter Sauce is no longer the odd thing, considering the fact that someone else came out with the same title.
I'm financially in trouble for short period of time.
I'm going to earn myself a MacBook.
I will own a Prada before I turn 26.
I have cleaned up 80% of my room.
I feel a little dizzy, and constant pain with my head.
I'm.. lost.
and I'm trying to find out my so-called soul.

and now I will sleep.

Starbucks is HALAL!

Few hours ago, I was out with the one and only crazy funny busmate-turned-next door neighbor Jocelyn to Starbucks with my younger sister to hang out. Well actually she drove me there since I wanted to get a job and we were out printing her Penang World Music Festival ticket which I'm unfortunately not going. So she drove us there, and ended up hanging out until 12.30am and randomly met my seniors from school which were her friends from the past and was chatting and laughing out loud like mad in a full house of people. Well everyone was busy so we weren't too loud.

Then I came home and was surprised by Riz telling me that Starbucks Choco product are non-Halal. owhmegawd wth?

Quickly, I googled and stumbled upon this fresh article from Kosmo! and has been certified by JAKIM.

Thank god. And I'm about to work there next week, if I get the job though.

Seriously some rumors on the net are bunches of crap. If Starbucks were HARAM, will they even be allowed to open up a branch in Saudi Arabia or even the Holy city of Mecca?

If it contains pork, will the Chairman Howard Schultz would even allow it? Now, note that he is a Jew so there's high probability that he observe eating Kosher food, which are almost similar to Halal meal - no pork/gelatin/lecithin.

When I was in USA, it was rather difficult to get Halal meal and I was already advised by the Chief Imam of Washington D.C. that in a "state of emergency", Kosher meal are the next best thing after Halal meal.

Even so, most lecithin now are soy-based. If it was non-Halal, the license should have already been revoked and all business will have to be shut down.

If you could, please look out for more sources of information of restricted food that you consume. And, its always best to ignore online rumors and check the main source as for this case, JAKIM! Now worry less as Starbucks is HALAL!!
