Selamat Hari Raya!!!


first and foremost, i'd like to wish everyone a very Happy Hari Raya! Sorry zahir and batin... i know i promised the bali pix but i'm a bit lazy to reduce the size of it. besides there's not many good pics because i went with my office mates, which i'm not as close to (in comparison to my frens) plus, they're not that into the crazy photography as i do. also, we did not visit that many historic landscapes. we did a lot of shopping, visiting hotels... and spa... wow... the rm150 i paid was really worth it ;) i should recommend ramayana hotel in kuta for anyone staying in bali! it's beautiful... and cheap i suppose. there's not any nice view though because of the tall buildings next to it but, it's very very very near to the beach. i also got a bali name - nyoman awin lasmini. nyoman means ur the third child of the family (1st child = wayan, yeah sounds like Damon, Marlon, Shawn Wayans are from Bali... haha... 2nd child = made, pronounce as Muh-day... 3rd child = nyoman and 4th is ketut... yeah i pity the 4th one) ok... but the 'lasmini', i'm not sure what it means, i shouldve asked though. but somehow i thought that the lady who gave me my name knew that i'm a 'last minute' person??? anyway, here's the bali pic i took in jimbaran. beautiful... oh and another place i'd recommend... eat in jimbaran! gorgeous!!!
but when i was in cambodia. we took a lot of crazy and beautiful photographs. most of them i edit using photoshop though. there are muslims in cambodia and they even speak MALAY!!! too bad we only discovered it during our last day but having to eat meat and chicken after 4 days of maggies and veggies... we were all thanking God after each bite. hahaha... so when any of u going to cambodia soon, u should ask the 'tuk-tuk' driver to take u to a 'muslim village'. although not all would want because the road is terrible! but cambodia, being just freshly out of war, it has beautiful historic landscape. well, in siem reap anyway. the angkor wat is simply breath-taking. definitely a must-see! other than that is shopping! where else can u get a t-shirt for 1 USD??? which is like 3 ringgit! i enjoyed shopping, lotsa cheap stuffs there but it's annoying as well because most of the time, a friend gets cheaper than u did... so... ugh! anyway, here are the pix. enjoy...


my new school mates :) or competitors!

well, it's the first time exploring a new tripod (gorilla pod) but it turned out okay anyway :)

Guess what??

as i was filling a form to apply for the campus car sticker... i noticed there was something odd about the date stated on my driving license...

later, i noticed there wasn't a mistake... the date was correct.

i have been driving with an expired driving license for the past FIVE MONTHS!!!

is that a record or what???

+ TRips + (continued)

hello kwn2...

seperti mana yg dijanjikan... sy akan post kan al-kisah sy sejak 22hb jun sehingga ke 4 julai...

22nd June- 24th june went for the 1st PAM architectural Camp in IIUM. lead the UM performance for the 3rd running year and guess wut? we won 3rd prize... anyway, i misplaced the trophy. sux eh? anyway, had fun nevertheless... i was perhaps the eldest participant in the camp. if not by age... then by year of study... taiko eh... haha.
>>>------> memories stilled in photographs

Usop n Rahmad buat aksi... xtaula... paklahh kate dia ternmpk diorg 'buat something' kt bilik... Astaghfirullah...


aku dgn jr2 pompuan ku...

29 june - 1st july representing UM among the members of Uniten. I joined MSSA competition. i was approached by awan, faiza's boo... he is an engineering student in Uniten. there were 3 more engineers from Uniten, who was interested to join but they didnt haf an architect so they hired me. so since february, we've been working on this thing. n we made it into the top10 (refer to my prev blogs). so these top10 finalists go into a final duel in langkawi @ kg tok senik resort. well... we lost but had fun anyways... crazy fun. we went for cable car right after the results came out but then we were 5 mins late. the counter closed @ 7pm... we were even more stressed out. things CAN get a little worse... so we went to telaga harbor park n took crazy pix (still to get em from awan, barak n shu's cams). then we went back to the chalet n karaoke'd until 12am... crazy. i think we finished a whole CD. haha... 1st thing in the morning next day, we went for cable car. n then to beras terbakar to makam mahsuri to the Helang (ape ntah... da lupe)... we took crazy pix there as well... did shopping... mainly chocolates. barak borong rokok je... pastu nk buatkan i rs bersalah la sbb tak belikan my nephew anything. takpe... i still haf cambodia n bali. hahah... anyway, these are the memories frozen in photographs...

masa presentation... hebat la...!

pushing awan over the limits ( i tak pegang perut dia ek.. serious!)

merenung mase depan (konon!)

team mssa (uniten engineers + um architect)


2-3 days later after coming home. i entered another competition by Ecocare-MNS to design an Ecocentre @ Kerteh, Tganu. so we went for a site visit on 4th of july n we came back on the same day. tiring as hell... we took a ride in a van drove by our lecturer's driver. he drove like MAD!! i tell u! i was seriously afraid of crashing but i couldnt keep my eyes of the road bcos i wanted to be prepare if crash was too happen. anyway, everytime i do, nothing happened. only a feeling of relieved that i get to live another minute/day... haha. the driver goes from 0-160km/h in less than 5 seconds... maklumlaaa... mercedes kan... tp kitorg mmg kekejangan otot ketakutan... tp driver wat dekkk jer... jahat betul! anyway, gambar tak upload lg... esok2 la...

nampak nyer sampai di sini sahaje buat mase ni... esok sy sambung. psl saye jd fasi kt kekkwa plak ek? ok peace out!

Leaving on a Jet Plane...

from one weekend to another...
i'm going away from home...
missing my bed miserably...
first time in my life; im going in and out of a jet plane...
don't know how celebrities put up with it...
i dread flying...

but i love travelling...

i will come back
with better knowledge and understanding
perhaps, respect...
of one's culture and God's creations
with that, i shall make a better tomorrow...

At Last...

After 3 years of handling performance representing UM for archi workshop...

we finally won something...

tho 3rd place...

it was valuable experience nevertheless...
