its so scary.
we've been thrown this hard ball right into our faces. at currently the hardest most important times of our lives.
and its not a normal problem. this hard ball will likely decide our future. how we will be as individuals.
how do we overcome this problem??
i want to be stronger than this. i want us to rise from this shithole with our heads held high and able to say 'we did the right thing'. i want to know for a fact that we took all the right moves.
probably its not so bad. i mean there's still a chance, slim as it is.
yet why do i get random poundings in my heart? why do i sometimes feel the weight of it all? why can't i concentrate?
now now i know other people in the world go through much worse. i can't even compare myself to them. but still, it still affects me.
i know God is testing us. or punishing us is more likely kot. i just wish that while he's doing that, He would give us the strength to be stronger. He'd give us the hikmah and keterangan hati to see clearly and fix this. He'd give aidah the energy and determination to overcome this. she needs to. she deserves it.
it sucks. i mean, if it doesn't work out, it could destroy us. and i'm not exaggerating. i hope we can recover but i don't know. i think thats the scary thing: if this doesn't work out, our lives would be changed. the future we envisaged would be, well not 100% gone, but still different from what we planned.
the worst part is i know she's probably going through worse.
i wish i could trade lives with her. she DOES NOT deserve to go through this.
she deserves to be happy. to be able to succeed in life. to fulfill her own dreams.
she does NOT deserve to worry about shit like this 5 days before exams. does NOT deserve to feel low and incapable. does NOT deserve to have her confidence shaken like this.
i wish i was stronger. i wish i knew what to say. i wish i myself is not affected by this, not because i'm selfish, but because if i wasn't affected, perhaps i'd be able to convince her and make her happy.
thats all i want.
for her to be happy.
damn you S-hole.

scared
its funny. i'm not the most hardworking guy around. i don't 'love' to study. i don't voluntary go to the library. i know exams are in two weeks and yet i still find excuses not to study.
yet all this does not bother me, because i know its my own mistakes.
what does bother and scare me though, is when aidah doesn't study.
when i study and she doesn't, i feel guilty because i know she should. when she's watching nip/tuck, i can't concentrate because i worry.
i worry. thats just it. another sign that i've changed. i actually worry about aidah. whether she can do her exams. if she gets through.
most of the time i worry more about her than i worry about myself.
i wasn't like this before. it was always 'i study, you tak study padan muka la'. now, not anymore.
its annoying. like that thing where i smile at her when actually i want to scream at her. sama gang. annoying.
haihz....

okay!
okay so its been a long while since i posted. sorta makes this blog seem useless. haha.
too many stuff have happened for me to bother to update. i mean, i went to about 4 concerts, went to manchester again, performed, had coursework, yada yada yada, and now i find myself about 3 weeks from my first paper.
nervous? well... surprisingly not so much. that's not to say i'm confident either. its just i find that i have adapted well to the teaching system here. i mean, i'm not lost in the subject, you know what i mean? so now, when i revise, although i don't know the details, at the very least i'll know what that topic is talking about. haha.
anyway, can't wait for exams to be over. too many stuff to look forward to. eurotrip, malaysia, jamming. oh and that lil thing called my wedding :)
me, getting married. who would have thought it to be possible. me, the nerdy bullied geek in high school, ultra-vain casanova wannabe in college, manipulative asshole in relationships, selfish spoilt brat in life, is gonna settle down to watch friends, grow old, cook, and write unlimited love songs about his wife, Aidah. all at the age of 22.
no more flirting. no more sudden rush of catching a girl's eye. no more sly grin when talking about a hot girl. no more sleepless nights after a fight where you re-consider your relationship. no more chance of fulfilling that fantasy with angelina jolie.
sounds so sad, doesn't it? at such a young age, throwing all that away.
well, some people might say that.
to me, right now, at this very moment, that boring view of married life is all i want. :)

Fall Out Boy
this is like two weeks due, so a couple of facts might be missing. haha.
went to cardiff two weeks ago. purpose was to watch Fall Out Boy, but my darling fiance missed me too much that she decided she wanted to follow :P hahaha! (in reality terbalik, i begged her to follow). but she didnt want to waste money for the gig, so she just decided to teman me walk around cardiff. till the gig.
woke up early, aidah prepared some bekal. got on the train, yada yada yada, sampai, makan jap. :)
once dah habis makan, we jalan jalan'd around cardiff city. to be honest, not much of a big deal. i mean i guess the cool thing is that its a whole different language, and there was hardrock cafe, and cardiff uni, but other than that, it was pretty much like any other town.
anywhoo, we just walked around, masuk some shops, BOUGHT A SEMI ACOUSTIC GUITAR :P hehe. reason was coz it was on sale i got a bunch of stuff free with it :).
once dah petang sikit, we decided to visit our friend who was studying in cardiff uni, went to his house, lepaked for a while. i sembahyang'd, then once it was close to 6, we decided to leave. i had a concert to catch :D haha.
we walked to cardiff international arena, only to find a LOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG line of emo-kids-posers (with their parents). hahaha. seriously, all budak kecik. but hey i'm gonna watch fall out boy so who cares right. lol. aidah decided to line up with me (while carrying my guitar. she looked like a busker. lol). things got worst when it started to rain! after about 30 mins finally the line began to move.
once i reached the front, i said goodbye to aidah, and went in. aidah had to catch her train, i think it was about 7+ pm. once inside, i noted that no wonder a lot of ppl were allowed in. the place was HUGE. i mean it was an actual arena. lol. i guess i jakun coz so far all the gigs i've been in UK has been in small or normal sized nightclubs.
anyway, i walked around the arena, looking at the merchandise, and tried to figure out a way to buy the merch before the gig without having to carry it the whole time. usually i wont really care, but my sis specifically pesan'd some stuff, and i didnt want to let her down :)
suddenly, a stroke of genius hit me. haha.
i bought about three FOB tshirts, then qued up at the jacket counter :P paid 1 pound, and got to keep my jacket + the three shirts, without having to worry about it till after the gig. haha. genius eh?
once dah settled that, i went back in the arena, just in time to catch the first opening act, Hey Monday. they were ok ok la... still seemed like a paramore-copy cat. i guess its the current trend kot.. only diff is that they sounded much more simpler compared to Paramore. thats good i guess. at least all these female lead vocalist bands have diff sounds. heck, Versa Emerge sounds (to me) kinda like a radio-Saosin. haha.
next up was Kids In Glass Houses. again, normal nice la. nothing much special. thats not to say its bad. just its all, typical i guess. nothing to differentiate it from other emo bands. haha. but regardless, still fun.
finally, Fall Out Boy. the fact that these are the kings of radio friendly emo is certainly true. they played well and excellent, and basically nothing wrong. very enjoyable show.
except for the, what i'd like to call, 'MCR Malaysia' Syndrome.
they played perfectly, talented, no screw ups watsoever. PERFECT. just like any other gig. it was obvious that they've toured the world and are experienced, and it just seems like to them 'oh well this is just another show. nothing special'. tu je la. it was veryy.... detached. i mean, at Chiodos' concert, it was personal. i mean the fans were passionate, knew all the songs, moshed, and the band was really cool and played old songs and even some acoustics.
i guess its also coz i didnt really LOVE Fall Out Boy, and didnt know all the songs. but still, i guess thats the downside.
in addition to that, the crowd was also a problem. we had kids who seemed like they've never been to a concert before. haha. i mean sure depan tu ada la mosh and all, but normal innocent like moshes. normal jumping up and down. around me pun sama. there was no wall of death or anything. haha. i guess thats to be expected. i mean, it is fall out boy. but again, it reminded me of the MCR crowd back in Malaysia. again, the 'MCR Malaysia' Syndrome. lol.
thats pretty much it. song wise they played their usual hits with some new songs, and a cover of Estelle - American Boy. but tu je la. enjoyable, but normal. lol.
after the gig, got my stuff, and preceded to wait for the bus for 4 HOURS!!! the gig finished at 10+ and my bus back to Bristol was at 1 am =/ smart huh? lol. luckily there was a burger king so till about 11pm i was there :). reached home, went to bed.
so thats it. another concert experience in UK. so far, all great. haha. i'm so lucky i'm here and able to go to all these gigs. :) next up, TBS, UNDEROATH, ENTER SHIKARI, THE ACADEMY IS. WOO HOOO!!!!

friends.
i suddenly miss my friends in malaysia.
sure they had their flaws. could be selfish/childish/judgmental etc.
but ntah. with them i was comfy with who i am. i could be who i want to be. i could talk about anything with any of them for hours.
i would be judged by them, but i won't have to worry about them caring what they judged me about (does this make sense?).
over here ntah. i've met tons of good friends. but its just not the same.
with my friends in malaysia, if there was a problem, big or small, i knew we could settle it and still come out as friends. here in bristol, i'm not so sure.
with my friends in malaysia, i knew they had my back, no matter how shitty the situation is. and this has been proven. if i make a mistake, they'll take the crap out of me, but still give me advice to fix it. and better yet, i could do the same to them. i could talk to them or scold them or tease them, knowing they wouldn't take my words the wrong way.
here, not so sure.
i know i'm crapping and going around my words, but ntah. it makes sense to me.
i miss my friends.
you know who you are.

CHIODOS
CHIODOS WAS GREAT. AWESOME. THE BEST. INDESCRIBABLE. UNMATCHED. THE ULTIMATE.
:D
seriously, worth it gila. i dont regret at all the fact that i worried about buying my ticket early and not getting it till 3 days before. nor the fact that i worried about getting to london. or the fact that i risked getting on the bus while the road was icy. or the fact that i went to the concert with just jeans, shoes, tshirt, and a thin sweater, thus freezing my ass off.
it was fucking worth it.
if i did have one complaint, it was the venue. it was sooooo SMALL! probably about 1/4 the size of MCPA hall, with a sold out crowd of about 100-150 people. it was stuffy and wayyyy tooo packed. not even enough room to enjoy the gig properly.
first opening act was Sonny. it was a bit weird. i mean here i am at a metal band concert, and yet a high pitched vocal DJ was playing multiple dance and rave mixes. i mean, dont get me wrong, it was nice and cool and highly enjoyable, and it did get the crowd moving, but ntah. a tad bit out of place kot
second opening act was Fei Comodo. they were AWESOME. nice emo + metal mix, leaning more towards the emo side. my kinda music. and they were fucking energetic. got the crowd moshing and started the first (and surprisingly only) wall of death of the night. and they're down to earth and humble too. i managed to hang out with them for awhile after the gig, and they were just like normal guys, selling their merch and just hanging out. reminded me of how HIX used to handle their own merch at gigs :)
finally, Chiodos. one of my favourite bands, almost sama taraf with My Chemical Romance (and that's saying something). what can i say. amazing. fucking brilliant. they started out with Undertaker's Thirst For Revenge Is Unquenchable, and the whole place just fucking erupted. people jumping here and there. moshing at the back. getting smashed like sardines. awesome. musically they were flawless, even Craig. i mean in the youtube vids that i saw of them live, i didnt like the way Craig changed the vocal parts of songs because he just can't handle them, but this time i dunno. it worked i guess.
they played a full on set that was justn non stop energy. all mosh heavy songs, and several old ones and bsides. they only slowed it down a bit for Lexington and Letter To Janelle. i think the biggest mosh was for The Words Best Friends Become Redefined kot. haha. i have no idea why i'm naming the songs. excited i guess.
the final part of the gig was cool. for the last two songs, Craig played 2 solo acoustic songs, with no mic or plug ins. so we all had to quiet down while he sang. it was brilliant. real intimate. of course, that did not last, because for their encore, they played Teeth The Size Of Piano Keys, and once again, the whole place erupted.
it was personally the best and heaviest gig i've been in a looongggg time. i mean yeah i moshed at Escape The Fate, but nothing compared to tonight. before that, i didnt mosh much because of my ankle. but tonight, i gotta say, it was non stop mosh, jumping, shoving and all. i even crowd surfed for the first time, TWICE. haha. managed to touch Craig a bit too. :D
on a random note, getting my foot stepped on the whole night must have caused my toe nail to crack, thus letting the blood that was clogged up in there (turning it an ugly blue) to be let out. well thats just my theory anyway. because now my toe nail is extremly white. haha.
after the gig, i went out, bought the merch (duh) and waited around in the hopes that, like Escape The Fate, i'd manage to meet with the band. i even excitedly qued up behind this line, only to find it was for the cloak room. stupid. haha. anyway after that, went outside the venue, hung around, walked into the bar beside it in hopes that the band secretly exited there, no luck. so got some kebab, took a traing and headed on home to Husna's.
on another random note, thanks Husna for having me at your place! sorry if mengacau. and thank luqman for me for letting me sleep in his room yea?
overall, one of the best gigs i've been too so far. next up, Fall Out Boy and Taking Back Sunday.
jeah~

jerseys
i'm glad to have found a new hobby whilst in uk. jersey collecting.
but sometimes, it is wayyy too fucking expensive and frustrating =/
for example the Bristol Rovers Third Kit. i had no idea it was a special edition anniversary edition. once i found out, it was out of stock for size M! wtf.
also, i wanna get Beckham's AC Milan jersey. but i cant find a longsleeved one!
damnit..

Escape The Fate
ESCAPE THE FATE WAS AWESOME!!!! XD
its been awhile since i've been to an all out rock concert. i mean the subways was fun and all, and its was awesome as well, but i didnt really get a chance to mosh, jump around, get hurt etc. this time i did.
the place was ok la. Anson Rooms Bristol University. normal gig like place. attendance was probably 4/5 of the hall. but it was all smokey for some reason.
mmg best. the first 2 opening bands, All Forgotten and Glamour For The Kill were alright, but i dunno why i wasnt really in the rock concert mood yet. i mean there were people moshing, running, doing the wall of death and all, but ntah i myself just didnt feel like it yet.
so i just stood and watched the band, and kept changing my positions in the hopes of finding the right 'crowd' to enjoy the concert with. at that time i was looking to just normal jump around and all, but not mosh. alas, i didnt find any. some were too rough, some too boring.
but fine, i just enjoyed the opening bands. in between went out for air + drinks.
then Escape The Fate came on.
it was awesome. awal awal they came onstage with the song 'America, Fuck Yeah' playing in the background. mmg rockstar gila la. then they started to play.
best. best best.
i dunno why, i just started jumping around, moshing. just like how i did in malaysia. and it was good! best gila. argh!
the best part was the crowd. everyone was into it (except the parent chaperones at the back and those who just didnt want to) and each helped out each other if there was a fall or slip or something. ntah la. either i miss going to rock concerts, or memang it was best.
on a random note, a couple of girls took off their shirts and moshed and jumped in their bra and pants. needless to say, that was awesome as well ;)
after the show, i got the chance to take pics and the autographs of the drummer, Robert Ortiz and the vocalist, Craig Mabbit. Robert was probably drunk and acted very rockstar-ish, but Craig was incredibly friendly and layaned us all that surrounded him. he even talked on the phone to the gf of a fan. that was cool. haha.
during the show the band invited us all to hang out with them at Carling Academy, but i was too tired la, coz main bola before that. so i headed home.
overall, awesome concert. cant wait for Chiodos and Fall Out Boy, though i dont expect to mosh at Fall Out Boy. haha.
its been awhile since i've been to an all out rock concert. i mean the subways was fun and all, and its was awesome as well, but i didnt really get a chance to mosh, jump around, get hurt etc. this time i did.
the place was ok la. Anson Rooms Bristol University. normal gig like place. attendance was probably 4/5 of the hall. but it was all smokey for some reason.
mmg best. the first 2 opening bands, All Forgotten and Glamour For The Kill were alright, but i dunno why i wasnt really in the rock concert mood yet. i mean there were people moshing, running, doing the wall of death and all, but ntah i myself just didnt feel like it yet.
so i just stood and watched the band, and kept changing my positions in the hopes of finding the right 'crowd' to enjoy the concert with. at that time i was looking to just normal jump around and all, but not mosh. alas, i didnt find any. some were too rough, some too boring.
