d-dover day!

that's my dear for you!



me, with my long sleeves and army backpack. (:

i didn't ask for this shot, but it turned out pretty nice. hehe!

dear unglam shot no. 1. that's her expression of liking something too much. she does that to me, ALWAYS.

dear's unglam shot no.2. i don't know what this was about, but my camera shot's timing not that bad huh.

pretty, ain't it?

that's us. two months away from 2nd year!

an awkward shot. i didn't realise i was covering my *peepee*, until now when i'm writing this very sentence. HAHA!

the plan was unplanned.

in other words, it was a so-last-minute thing.

dearest yearned to return to the old neighbourhood of dover for the longest time possible,

and yesterday was the day we made her wish fulfilled. LOLS.

dearest and i, we had initially planned for a army-open-house-outing with the rest of her classmates.

we were all set to go; i even woke up at 8 for that.

but things didn't go our way.

we had planned for a meet-up at 9.30 @ boon lay interchange.

but when we reached at 9.45, her friends were neither nowhere to be seen, nor had replied her msg.

and so we thought, we would have a change of plans.

dearest wanted to go for a little shopping for travelling stuffs, while i had a task to find new set of sandals, courtesy of my mum's sponsorship. (:

suntec was the place to be, and so we moved from boon lay to jurong east for a direct bus to city hall.

then out of the blue, peiyi called me on the phone.. and asked where we were. LOLS.

i was like, shits man.

and so i told her we had already taken our leave and had a change of plans.

peiyi had so much wanted us to join along; she pleaded 'eh, come back lah..' in her pitiful tone several times. HAHA, how funny.

decided not to return, and so went to suntec!

it was a pretty aimless shopping.

got moisturizer and granola bars from carrefour, and that was the end of our shopping.

the rest of the time, we were just walking and walking.. in a pointless pursuit for sandals. :'(

and thinking that i still have my braziliano praia, decided against buying a new one.

save money huh. (:

had nowhere else to go, nothing else to do.

and so out of nothing, both of us suggested dover!

haha, i was actually excited for the place.

maybe cos i wanted to hear the stories and memories dearest had to share.

from her lifestyle, up till her love encounters there. (: (:

should i share?

haha, no no. it's personal.

only dearest knows what i'm talking about. LOLS.

so yeah, it's been so long since dear had left dover, that she forgot the stop we had to alight at.

and subsequently, missed a stop.

swear to god, the previous stop we missed was like 300 metres away?

stopped at the NUS busstop, and came across lotsa ITE students, among them fauzi and pe'eh.

walked to the opposite side of the road, on this very worn-out concrete pavement.

we were convinced it would lead us to the dover road estate, so we walked on.

just as we wanted to take a turn, we realised the pavement had reached a dead end!

like wth!

and a sight of a huge terrain of grass stared at us.

it was all muddy and wet. eee...

we were both in whites, and were both in covered shoes.

dear wore her new pair, unfortunately for here that is.

walked, walked, walked.

and poooom, we reached the 1980's.

or that was what i first thought! HAHAHA.

to those who have seen dover, you may know what i'm uttering about.

the neighbourhood, the blocks precisely.. looked torn and tainted!

dover was like an island on it's own.

i see no children, i see no mats & minahs.. the life there was slow-paced, much to the contrast of life on the fast lane.

i see pretty much elderly; there wasn't any much life besides the sounds of the tele, and the chatterings of uncles and aunties.

half of the number of shops were closed.

provision shops dominated the terraces of shops which encircled the central market.

we received stares and glares from uncles and foreign workers alike, no thanks to dearest.

too eye-catching, i guess. LOLS.

dover was an old estate with little new breath of life;

apartment blocks were grey; perfectly reflecting the sober yet serene living it offers.

dover suitably resembles the existence of sweet love letters;

fast facing extention in the face of the rapid improvements -

dover lives on as one-of-its-kind in the ever-changing environment in singapore,

while love letters are fast replaced by short-message-services and emails.

undoubtedly old-fashioned, but they are dying.

sad, pretty sad. :(

so well anyway.

dearest should be thankful that she could still visit her much-loved neighbourhood.

i totally envy her.

i have no places to share my childhood memories from,

i saw block 19 demolished to it's very barren patch of land. :(

that was my best house yet, cos it's got two huge halls!

and the thing i loved about it was, the period of time i lived there was so care-free,

unbound by troubles and worries.

everyday was school, eat and play.

books, rice and soccer.

the life was so much the same like the dover mentioned above.

sober, quiet.. yet tranquil.

:'( sob sob.

i've still got west coast to share, the very least.

i lived at block 709 from the time i was 0 month, till i was 5.

i had imprecise memories, apart from shouting my heart out at the window, and getting scolded by my late granddad for playing with scissors.

i've only got photos to share.

although i grew up in teban gardens, my life was all west coast.

i simply lived the past 17 years around the west coast area,

it's too deep in my blood to imagine myself leaving.

i know teban gardens, pandan gardens, clementi and west coast at my fingertips.

i know every single corners, and block around here. LOLS.

it's been a really long post, guess i'll call it a day.

it's 3.58am as i end off this post.

blog again soon, aiye?

nights to all those sound asleep now.

and one thing left for dear,

i love you. (:

my fasting weekend. (:

from left - haslinda (in white), danial, myself and huzaini!

that's my qifa clique. (:

i enjoyed this past saturday really alot. (:

it was the earliest time i left home since the fasting month started.

my day started off with a meet-up with you-know-who, who else... DEAREST!

it had been a while since i saw her, and was looking forward to the meet-up.

the past meetings has really been all about china.

yesterday was no different, as dearest had to shop for necessary travel items.

headed off to jp, watson's precisely.

bought quite a lot of stuffs, like shampoo, toothpaste and disposable.. ehem, undergarments. (:

i was in the mood to shop too; i longed for long sleeves casual top.

combed around jp, but to no avail. :(

and dear, she bought heels too! for presentations and some shits over at china.

really ain't looking to the 14th, for like once in our relationship.

we'd be celebrating our 22th month, but that's the same day dear would be leaving. HAIS.

that'll be like a week from now. wow.

gonna be a torrid period, but i guess i'll just try to be fine.

my qifa peeps planned for a break-fast a few weeks back,

and so we had our meal at zam zam's restaurant somewhere near bussorah street.

initial meeting time was at 6, but waited till 7 for everyone else to come.

and by the maghrib prayer time, we were still strolling to the foodplace.

the funny thing was, mohsin brought A WHOLE BOX of dates along.

that was pretty hilarious; come on, no one ever does that. LOLS.

it was thoughtful though, he had good intentions. (:

i had chicken murtabak which i shared with mohsin.

i didn't know why, but i was already full by my first slice of murtabak.

managed to finish eventually, after much dilly-dallying. HAHA.

went for prayers over at sultan mosque, and unsurprisingly,

only me and again, mohsin were the only ones who prayed. LOLs.

that's my peeps for you.

went to bali lane for.. SHEESHA!

that was like the first time i had those in singapore.

tried a couple times over at johor before, and i have one set of sheesha at home.

we were shunned by several shops initially, cos some of us.. like me, were underaged. HAHA.

managed to settle down at this certain shop, but we had to hang out at the outdoor area.

i was fine with that, as long as i could sheesha and slack. (:

shared stories of our lives, and got to know that

muzzamir's now in RTC, for rioting..

nadiah has a child now, with god-knows-who.

and everyone who were present yesterday smoked, apart from me.

sad, ain't it? to see that your childhood friends are drifting to negative ways.

i'm lucky i know where i stand.

dearest was behaving very well yesterday, and didn't have to quarrel with her at any point of time.

i learnt to be honest, as i told dear every occurences that i experienced yesterday.

i know dearest's a bit bothered, especially when i'm hanging out with a clique that has got my ex-girlfriend in it.

but no worries babe, i know my limits and i know the rights and the wrongs.

love you babe. (:

anyways, i'll be going to the army open house tmr!

last day, and so i'm hoping for very little turnout.

i don't like crowds, seriously man.

gonna go with dearest, and her clique.

looking forward. (:

till tomorrow,

chiaos!

there's something about your smile. (:

the date's 31st august.
it only means.. TEACHERS' DAY CELEBRATION!
not much of a celebration for me.
overslept, woke up really late.
and eventually only get to meet one teacher. LOLS.

tanglin's still got a place in my heart.
that was where i gained my identity, where i first tasted popularity,
where i picked up leadership, where i experienced football success..
whoa, i had so much bittersweet memories.
man oh man, and who can forget all my scandals. hehe. (:
one girl to another in a flash.
imagine, i was romantically linked to three girls within a year.
dude, what was i thinking back then?!
now appearing to take it slow, sticking to the one and only. (:

man, can't forget my 'tanglin bo-bei-chao' times.
that's the team's pre-match warcry by the way. LOLS.
can't forget the warm-ups and everything.
and, can't forget the crowd we had on vital matches.
dear was among them on several occasions last time. hehe.
man, how can i forget how our players drained themselves out on every match,
how we played so well, so organized and very stable.

i was, and still extremely proud of my teammates-cum-bestfriends.
we got to the national levels for three years in a row.
sec 1 was totally crap, didn't have much playing time.
sec 2 was so much better, i was the captain under mr. awang's guidance.
and from then on, my trophy collection began. (:
got 4th in west zone's, while finishing 6th in nationals.
sec 3 was by far the best! (: (:
played in a team with so many national players, yet i still managed to appear in every match at the left flank!
got 3rd in west zone's, and 4th in nationals! lols.
sec 4 was where i regained captaincy responsibilities,
and that year we ended 4th in west zone's, and 5th on the national ranking!
man, i gotta list all these achievements down before my memories of the past fades.
really proud. (: especially when we were coachless when i was in sec 4!
wanna thank mr. wan, coach and mr. ng for everything.
and my teammates (saiful, ismail, aidee, razif, asri, kevin, johani, suhairi, weixiong, jufree, karrazi).
those 4 years are to be stored in my memory storage forever! (:

so yeah, after tanglin, heading down to ikea with the fantastic four!
that's mich, cheechin, meiyun and lastly my gf, shilin.
they had so much fun gossiping, while i had so much fun eavesdropping.
it was hard to understand the mandarin at some point, anyway. LOLS.
went there to eat. oh, forgot to add 'they' at the front of the previous sentence.
i didn't eat, obviously.
mich had like three plates of food, and she was sharing table with me.
so me, as a religious man with strong faith, resisted the sights and temptations of food.
it was real tough; those crispy golden french fries were calling me man..
HAHA.

i spent the best part of my day after that, while i was alone with dearest.
we went to jurong point, to settle some remittance stuff and to have break-fast.
man, the feeling was so damn, freaking, uber shiok!
dearest was so damn stunning, and we were both in jeans.
it's not always that we're both in jeans, and so i felt like we were a matured couple. LOLS.
and the feeling of love, came back to life again.
it's been long since i had this very feeling, maybe cos...
well, i admit.. i've been taking things for granted.
today i feel so loved, and i feel so much in love that i literally wanted to give dear my whole heart. LOLS.
i want to live a day like this everyday!
i want to never take things for granted anymore, hopefully.
and i want to never scold dearest anymore.
i want to be.. a good boyfriend like i was before. HAHA! (:

had a lengthy heart-to-heart period with dearest at the staircase flight.
i looooove those times cos we get to talk alot, really lots.
and the other thing i love about it.. i get to appreciate dearest alot.
i love watching dearest smile, because it's contagious.
it gets me on the smiling mood. (:

and that's why dearest, i told you i wanna spend every moment smiling at you.
i wanna get addicted to your smile, so that i can eventually kick my scolding habits away. (:
you know your smile wipes off my anger away. (:

i feel so lovey-dovey right now.
so unlike me, especially after honeymoon period's over. LOLS.
nevermind, i love the feeling of falling in love.
and i wanna make sure that every moment spent with dearest stays like that, from now on.

goodnight babe,
goodnight world. (:



where are you and i'm so sorry
i cannot sleep i cannot dream tonight
i need somebody and always

whoa, i need to post some photos.
need to add life to my blog.
gotta find some photos to post soon. (:
arsenal's leading 1-0 now.
man i love arshavin's rocket.
now that's my favourite player.

my weekend!

man, i really enjoyed yesterday! (:
had break-fast over at spaghetti too, before going for little shopping.
spent so much time with dearest after that, talking crap all over.

anyway, watched the movie 'Taken' starring Liam Neeson.
rented the disc with dearest on thursday.
man, i've been longing to watch the movie before today.
the plot's so interesting, what more me being a huge fan of action movies.
i wanna be a dad like him, one who would go to all lengths to save your offspring.
was really captivated throughout. HEHE.
engrossed, as dear would say.

going back to tanglin on monday.
hope to see my ex-teachers, after a full year of not meeting.
and eager to meet my other friends, really miss them much!

i'm on the tv now.
enjoying my super-saturday-football-weekend.
excited anticipating the arsenal-man united game! (:
was watching liverpool-bolton & spurs-birmingham earlier.
two things i gotta say.
liverpool was super-duper disgusting; they committed so many fouls which could have resulted in red cards.
and they thrailed the match twice; i don't think they deserve to get the three points.
i think they'll lose the next game. (:
and spurs, no better.
lucky-shit. winning goal in the 95th minute.
eee.

ten more minutes to the big game. (:
let me get myself mentally prepared. LOLS, bullshit.
chiaos!

i seriously ain't got any titles for this, pardon.

exam's long gone!
engineering maths was okay, except for some parts.
cos i've got varying answers that were different from mine.
quite worried, but hey, what's done is done.. right?
ACDA was so much fun!
cos i anticipated the paper with so much suspense.
i studied the whole module via past year papers, simply cos i didn't know where to start. LOLS.
was kinda surrendering my fate to god, seriously.
and god was kind enough to put things to my favour. (:
alhamdulillah.

got my new pair of boots!
white-red nike tiempo costing 75 bucks!
had azzrul and fazlee accompanying me.
dearest was all set to tag along, but she overslept on that fateful day. HAHA.
so, surveyed jersey purchasal and printing as well.
got some good offers, noticably puma and umbro.
best offer was $43 for both, full set.
leaning towards umbro, cos puma's design rather plain.
but it's all up to the mates also.
i'm fine with either. (:

went to fico yesterday!
with 25 others.
great platform to test out my tiempos.
it was a good outing, got to display few moments of brilliance. CHEY.. lols.
it was rather challenging, given the fact that all of us were fasting.
my throat was freaking dry, and felt very sticky. ee.
but i had pledged earlier that fasting ain't stopping me from football,
and football ain't stopping me from fasting. (:

me and my hermanos broke fast at somewhere really random.
bought big bottled-drinks, with crackers and fruits half an hour before break-fast.
had to settle for somewhere which could accomodate approximately 15 people,
so we decided for the.. playground! LOLS.
felt really like some mats-mats who are homeless.
had a great time there, talking trash all over with fazlee leading the line. HAHA.
had a proper break-fast over at banquet @ jp, i had this awesome spicy ramen!
recommended, from the korean stall.
the stallowner was very nice too, to explain all the dishes that we clearly were not familiar to.
5 bucks, but it was all worth it. yum yum! (:

today, today.
planning to meet up with babe for break-fast at spaghetti too!
that was what we planned earlier, don't know if it's still on.
dear's watching movie as i'm typing this down.
so, i'm unsure of all plans today.

now that exam's over, i feel that i have nothing to work on to.
feel empty, lols.
wanna go out, but it's fasting period.
i'm okay with that, should wait till it ends.
while ramadhan is still here, i should capitalise on this chance to be good. (:

chiaos readers.
much loves! wheeee.

a long hiatus, a really really long hiatus!

whoa, it's been a long time coming.
too long that i totally forgot my blogger's username and password combination. LOLS.
but here i've arrived to revive my long-time-dead blog back to life again! (:

anyways, a million and one things have taken place since i last posted an entry.
been really busy with school, especially with Futsal and my Interdisciplinary Studies module.
something not really much a big deal to brag about, but I'm the president for Futsal! Wheeeet!
but then again, great power come great responsibilities.
luckily i've got johnny to assist me in my stuffs!

IS module was such a crap at first.
my group, 4B!GWindows, picked up the idea of holding a main event for some Ngee Ann's National Day Carnival shit.
I mean yeah, it was literally shitty!
Nevermind, never wish to elaborate further.
but at least on the positive note, my group's 'Don't Forget the Lyrics'-inspired gameshow put much life to the dead 'carnival', much to our satisfaction!
And by the way, got to stay at the loft for the second time! LOLS.

Exam period now, and as I'm typing my first post since 4 months ago, I'm actually reciting my ACDA formula!
i can multitask, okay... (:
left with two papers, same with dearest!
my semester holiday officially starts at 11.10a.m on this coming Tuesday! woohoo!
that's like two days from now!
cooool cooool. :P
but then again, fasting month's here.
no, no. not saying that fasting's no good.
but it only means that i can't do certain things, like... watching movies, sun-tanning at sentosa, etc.
as a consolation, fasting month would give me lotsa time to gym out and build up on my mass!
trying to visit the gym daily, if possible. (:

well, I've got thousand and one things to do this holidays!
firstly, i'll set alot of days after the fasting month to go out with dearest!
gotta spend alot of time, gonna do lotsa stuffs!
i promise you that, babe.. although i have no ideas yet in mind. LOLS.
anw, babe's gonna be away to china for a ten-day trip starting on 16th September.
gonna be kinda lonely, but i'm sure to spend it well.
hope those break-fast outings scheduled with my friends would happen within that period of time.
outing with primary school friends, and possibly with my fellow tanglinians.
looking forward to those!

i'm kinda excited that i'll be getting back active in the field football scene.
it's been really long since i last played on the greens, so long that i last owned my own pair of boots last year.
my malay ECE-BME mates will be forming a soccer team, and i'm one of the star signings. (hehe, self-proclaimed!)
plans for the purchasal of jerseys, locations of training sessions and other details have taken place.
i'll be donning number 8, i think.
but what is sure is that i'll be featuring at the left flank! cristiano's at that position at galacticos, ain't it?
mates, be sure to see some of him in me, and some of me in him. HAHA, wth.
really really excited about the prospects of playing field football once again, after a year on the futsal court! (:

immediate plans after exams have been confirmed.
visiting queensway with dearest, fazlee and azzrul to survey some jerseys, and to get my new pair of boots!
looking at some interesting designs now, but i'm definitely ruling out adidas. (:
and queensway, haircut @ jurong point in the afternoon!
woohoo, 43 hours to the end of exams.

gotta start mugging again now, CHIAOS!
my blog's so dead that i'm sure no one's gonna read this post so sooon, at least not until the end of August. LOLS.
lastly, wishing the best of lucks to those taking their exams, and not to forget my fellow Muslims, Selamat Berpuasa in the holy month of Ramadhan! (:
