What I Did After SPM...

After SPM, I came to the city trying to make it in modelling (yes, just like a Tom Cruise movie). 

This set of pics were taken by a photographer at an agency somewhere in SEA Park. 

A couple of print ads and fashion spread later, I became lost in the glitz and glam of the modelling world; the parties, the rising fame, the late night mini bus rides. 

I felt like I wasn't myself anymore then. 

So I insaf-ed and studied law instead. 

(PS: I still remember losing a BP TVC job once to Azhar Sulaiman and I'm still sore about it)

Food, Glorious Food!: Exotic Meats, Anyone?

 

Fancy some belut? Rusa? Arnab? Jom ke Sekinchan! Yup, this is the place to try some exotic dishes if that's your thing. We are more "safe" haha, so we had the rendang rusa, along with some patin and other normal fare when we were there recently. But it IS worth a visit, IMHO. And btw, what's the weirdest thing you've ever eaten??

Our Brothers In Tatarstan

 

Just started watching 'Langkah Nabi 2' hosted by ex-colleague Zainal Ariffin and in one episode, he goes to Kazan in Tatarstan and meet up with a couple of prominent local business personalities who're also alumni of IIUM! 

Yes, during our time in the 90s, we had many students from troubled regions/countries including Afghanistan, Tatarstan, Bosnia, Somalia, Albania, Sudan, Chechnya, Palestine etc. Alhamdulillah, good to see these Tatar brothers contributing so much to their home country now.

Mo Salah Stays!

 

Alhamdulillah, the news all Liverpool fans have been waiting for the longest time finally arrived earlier today. The Egyptian King will remain on his throne for at least a couple more years!

I have a lot to say about how FSG has been (mis)handling the issue (and it's far from over really, as our very own club captain and Trent have yet to sign on the dotted line), but let's just enjoy this bit of fabulous development for now. We have a league title to win!

Hari Raya Teristimewa

 

Tempat kami berkumpul adalah di rumah arwah nenek kami (yang kami panggil ‘atuk’) di Jalan Merdeka, Kampung Melayu Majidee, Johor Bahru. Sebuah rumah batu yang agak besar, tetapi kalau dah diserbu 10 atau lebih keluarga pada masa yang sama, penuhlah hampir setiap ruang yang ada. Dan asalkan ada toto dan bantal, ceruk di tepi gerobok perhiasan ruang tamu pun boleh jadi selesa.

Ramai yang akan pulang sehari sebelum Aidilfitri. Selain daripada yang memang menetap di Johor, ada yang akan tiba dari KL, Kuantan, Kuala Terengganu dan beberapa tempat lagi. Aku biasanya akan sampai ke rumah Jalan Merdeka pada awal pagi Raya itu sendiri.

Sebelum apa-apa lagi, akan kucari setiap pakcik dan makcik untuk kucium tangan mereka. Tak kiralah kalau ada yang masih blur dan belum sempat mandi (boleh faham sebab queue untuk ke tandas pun biasanya agak panjang). Terserempak dengan sepupu-sepapat ketika ini pun hanya mampu untuk tersenyum atau mengangguk kepala tanda isyarat, the good times are going to come.
