hide
Sometimes we just can't hide who we really are..rite? I just could hide no more. Whatever I do, I'm just the same old Yen. Hahaha..meaning that, no more 'the good Yen'..very ggoooodd, I'm getting sick of it. It was so not me. I can still blog what..minus the curse and stuff. So, the blog STAYS as it is!
Hmmm. I have been here like 5 years. And I learned about nothing else except than life itself. Here is where I grew up. So everything else here grew up with me. Even UTP.Even my friends. Even my life. Well, my life is pretty much the same. So cramped with all the things that should have been on somebody else's shoulders. Anyway, I'm not complaining..what doesn't kill you makes you stronger. There.The only thing that keeps me going each and every single day. "You just have got to stay alive, who knows what the tide might bring ya..". Sounds familiar huh? Tom Hanks - Castaway. Why does he have all the best lines anyway? "Life is like a box of chocolate, you'll never know what you'll get inside..". Also his. It must have been great huh, to be Tom Hanks. Duh!
So thru my so called 'growing up years' I saw..I witnessed a lot of things, that mainly happened here in UTP. But mostly about the people around me. Trying to hide who they really are. They changed their clothes, the way they walk,the way they talk, what the eat, their hair styles/colours..etc. They tried to become somebody that they are not. Hoping that people won't notice the person they are hiding inside. Well, guess what? I DID notice it.
Then, there are these typical malays. Malays that possess all the classic-idiotic behaviours. Dengki orang, cakap besar, perasan bagus...all those stuff.And yet they still try to hide them! They can even claim others to be typical. Say what? Reading FHMs won't make you a non-typical malay. Good in english also won't. Also, playing video games, driving a car, wearing perfumes, wearing designer's, wearing glasses (huh?), drinking whey protein, smoking, watching movies/porns or even listening to hitz dot fm...erghh..I could go a long way here. It's about the way you think. Don't just think ordinarily. Think EXTRAordinarily. When will all these poeple realize that they might talk the talk but they just don't walk the walk? Probably never.
Owh, not forgetting, those manik². Beads. "Bagaimana beta nak bezakan yang mana manik yang mana mutiara? Adakah melalui percakapannya, atau renungannya? Yang penting, adakah si manik itu tahu dirinya manik?" .Taken from the recently, PGL. People who just don't understand that they don't have what it takes to be doing what they are doing now. They are just not up to the standard. They are just like beads, manik, I mean compared to mutiara. They should learn their places. Keep your feet to the ground lar. This line should have been theirs, "..seandainya manik seperti diri patik ini, walau digilap HAUS, tetap malap juga jadinya Tuanku". Also from PGL.
Hm. Kinda harsh huh? And during Ramadhan too. I guess I just can't hide it anymore. To keep my mouth shut and not tell how pathetic all of you have been. Well, that's life..or so they say. Well, at least it reminds me why I wanted to leave this university in the first place. Thanks a million for making my life even greater when I learned that there are people who are more better than me by grades but suck at life! Blaja tinggi² pon , bodo macam tu gak. Who said that life is unfair? It IS fair and that my friend, is something that even you couldn't hide from!

respect
With respect to Ramadhan, my blog has been changed to look more polite (..more to dull than polite..). No cursing allowed. I guess for the rest of Ramadhan, I won't be updating my blog. No can curse, where's the fun then...aiyayai..I'm going to the so called 'pasar Ramadhan' and it's still raining. Luckily, it's not cats and dogs.Can get wet also mehh...hmmm...I think that my brain is even more active than before 'puase' but then again everything is sooooo in the cursing mode. So no can write.This is when you have EVERYTHING in mind but cannot spill it out. Batal pose wo0o0o00. Lalalala..bear with me then. This is the polite me. Hi,how do you do? I'm the other Yen, the polite one. Errggghhh...'saba² puase²'. Yey, the rain has stopped...adieu..

angel
by : The Corrs
Album : Borrowed Heaven
She lived like she knew nothing lasts,
Didn't care to look like anyone else,
And she was beautiful, so beautiful,
I still hear her laugh like she's here..
Shower it down on all the young,
It isn't so wrong to have such fun..
Forever angel,
I hope they love you like we do,
Forever angel,
I'll be proud to be like you,
Be like you,
(I'll be proud to be like you)..
Does the sun shine up at you when you're looking down,
Do you get along with the others around..
It's got to be better than before,
You don't need to worry now you're gone..
Forever angel,
I hope they love you like we do,
Forever angel,
I'll be proud to be like you,
Be like you,
Just like you..
And when I go to sleep at night,
I'll thank you for each blessed thing surrounding me,
For every fall I'll ever break,
Each moment's breath I wanna taste,
Confidence and conscience,
Decadent extravagance,
Never ending providence,
For loving when I had the chance..
Angel,
I hope they love you like we do,
Forever angel,
I'll be proud to be like you,
Forever angel,
I'll be proud to be like you,
Be like you,
I'll be proud to be like you..

fume
It's the mating season again.Mosquitoes lar.An orgy-phenomenon that drove a mini van equipped with 2 guys here, one with that bbrrrhhhh-thingy, the other with a pair of sunglasses.Geeee...I wonder what that dude did when his friend was busying himself bbbrrrrhhhhhh-ing around.Maybe his sunglasses got those movement-detector where he could see the mosquitoes flying around.Or it might work like a mosquitoes radar."*Tuut* Tuut*...there got one,bbrrrhhhh there!"..hahaha I wish.So the guy went fogging..like the whooollleee UTP.As if there's an outbreak.O'o..is there?
Anyway, he seemed to love his job, walking around in the fumes.And leaving the scene of the crime with a hideous smell! What did they put in that thing..that bbrrrhhhh-thingy anyway? God! I think the mosquitoes die because of the smell lar hoh..not the chemical-reaction-or-whatsoever.Bau macam tu,gajah pon mampos! Huh, I hate fogging.From the very first day I knew, bbrrrhhhh-ing around like that is called fogging.I curse the day I set my eyes on this fogging and stuff! Now I wonder how a mosquito would describe its hatred towards fogging.With that kind of smell, I'm with you MosQ..hoolleerrr!
Back at the balcony, all my clothes (..yuh, we dry our laundries on the balcony) smell like perrggghhhh..like death-by-fogging mosquitoes.Errgghhhh! And that my friend, is not a decent smell! Fuck.And it will take like 1 week before those could smell Dynamoly well! Or people would go like, "Is something burning?" when you are around.Sheeessshhh..Couldn't they just jumble up something that smell far more better than that? It's the 21st century lar..for crying out loud! Where national-car engines caught fire in the lab is already a common thing! Yuh,rite, they can't even prevent landslides at the highways, lagi nak mintak fogging wangi² .Silly me.
So, when you see two dedicated middle-aged guys, one with a mosquitoes radar resting on his nose and ears; take all you belongings that are on the balcony into your room, close your windows, get the hell out of the room and drive yourself to Ipoh! Because, if you are caught in the fumes, you'll be fumed!

superman
Christopher Reeve, the actor who played the role of the most celebrated superhero in comic history, Superman had a heart attack last Saturday which sent him into a coma.The next day he died.Anyhow he will be remembered as the one who succeeded in bringing The Man of Steel onto the silver screen.His death concluded all the other deaths related to actors of Superman,who were said to be under The Curse of Superman.All actors who acted as Superman would eventually face tragedies that will show that they are non other than just mortal humans.However,the curse seems to have two survivors,for now..The lead guy of the famous Superman miniseries,Dean Cain and the newly crowned;the new Superman in the making,Smallville's lead actor,Tom Welling.
Whatsoever it didn't alter the fact that Superman was,is and will always be the most celebrated,recognized or even fancied superhero in comic history.Superman has always been the people's champion.Mine too.

less
Something less ordinary..yup!I woke up late yesterday,missed all my classes,took a bath and went to Ipoh!With Mas,Iki and Bert.Hmm..and definitely, it was fun.Hahaha...I should be doing this everyday, so that going to classes then..would be something less ordinary..hell yeah!!Annyywwaayy..they did some shopping(..hey not me..).Some stuff for their coming dinner.The Annual EE(Electric-and-everything-that-has-got-to-do-with-it Enthusiasts) Dinner.Yuh larr..final year students..got dinner here and there..being celebrated and ass-worshipped here and there..hahaha!And we even catched a movie.The old-ass, Jackie Chan's, 'The New Police Story'.It was to me...so and so..but definitely so much better compared to our 'Gerak-Khas-The-movie-or-whatsoever'.The story-line?Watch it yourself!No, I'm not telling!
Well, this is something that's not even close to less ordinary but worth sharing.I found a poster here in UTP and I'm not going to mention which one and what announcement that it carries.What I'm going to mention is that one of the lines in the poster is written as "IT 'S must be great and of course very touching.".Please bear in mind that I am not that hard for changing other's masterpiece just to make it look ridicolous.This is the original piece.And believe it or not, it was written by a final year student!After 5 years cracking that sucked up little mind, still..English is...foreign!Hahaha..to that son of a bitch..good luck!And one more thing...find a moment to get to know yourself!If you are so fuckingly stupid in even using English correctly..take my advice.Don't!It will be so extremely hilarious and godlikely stupid!Come on laar, I know you are just trying to be cool and impress the chicas and all(..yuh,some people do that..) with your so-called 'words' and ended up being so awesomely ridicolous!Well done dude!I DO envy you!Idiot!
This is one of the examples that this university, Universiti Tunjuk Pandai is full of people who think that they know something that is nothing but something that they think is something but actually is something that is nothing!Get me?
This is a result of knowing themselves less.Opening their minds less.Spending time to think less.Respecting people less.Definitely doing something, less ordinary less.I should have written less.Hey,I updated my blog at least,more or less....

Azreen
A tribute to one of my oldest friends, Azreen.
As if it happened only yesterday,
when you packed your bags and walked away,
there wasn't much for me to say,
I wished you didn't leave and with me you would stay..
Maybe you forgot what I said the other day,
that I'm here, with you, only to stay,
now it all seems like light years away,
when you took your heart and turned away..
You know I can't live without you,
you know nothing else matters but you,
if you only knew what I'm going through
I can't even breathe without thinking of you..
How I wished you'd come back to me,
we could work it out rather than let it be,
what more could I do to make you see,
that you and I are really meant to be?
Hear me now and hear me this,
I don't want to live upholding the memories,
without you, I wouldn't be at any peace,
so please come back to me, come back please..
I miss the time we spent together,
if you said you don't, then you are a liar,
I'll be only here if you need me ever,
take as much time as you need dear...
For as I am here, truly, yours forever!
What?Of course I am not addressing this to her.I was only writing it on her behalf.Been there,done that.So I know the feeling as well.This good friend of mine,broke off with her boy a few months ago.The 2-years-beautifully-earned relationship just went *poof*.It's not you Azreen, it's him(hahaha..sounds familiar??).It's not her that I'm worried about.It's her boy.Or should I say her ex-boy, that I'm worried about.I doubt that he would ever be able to replace her with anyone.Or anything.She is smart,sensitive,cool,'grunge' and the list seems to go on and on.So to the boy, you don't know what you are missing here.So regroup dude!Rethink or do something,before she takes off!And to Azreen, I don't need to say anything, you know your stuff anyway...
So yesterday was boring.Nothing happened.Hopefully today would bring something less ordinary.Well, funny isn't it.I haven't cursed.Fuck!There.I'm up to something.Hmm..I still don't know what it is but I'll figure it out..somehow(yeah,right..).It should be something about photography.Something to upload in here.Anyway,there's a hectic week ahead.Not just me,but almost all the members of the Genting Clan.Biasa la, hujung sem....the phrase of the week.Damn.It's getting nearer and nearer.Would I be ready then...how should I know, it hasn't arrived yet.Believe me,when it has, I'll know and eventually, you'll know as well...whatever...
Oh, I read a book earlier on by Tony Buzan.The famous founder of the Mind Map.The mind-mapping technique?Never heard of him..?So what, like I care..anyway I'm too sleepy to even write the title of the book.But he got some good points,though.Maybe some other time.I should be sleeping..huargghhh..

say..what?
Well,I haven't posted for quite some time.Still that didn't alter the fact that a lot of things happened.The past 3 weekends,I have been in KL.Oh God,travelling sucks.Either driving or driven.But I encountered a few scenes that to me, were worth remembering.
Act 1.Scene1
Location: Puduraya
Actor/Actress: Yen/stupid counter Lady
Y:Akak,tiket bas ke Lumut ada lagi tak?
L:Mende dik?Tak dengar..
Y:Tiket.Bas.Lumut?
L:Ooo..semua dah abis la dik.
Y:Petangnyer pon dah abis gak?
L:Aaaa..?
Y:PETANG NI NYER tiket pon abis?
L:Petang ni?Ada gi banyak...adik nak berapa?
Y:Kalau camtu,kasik tiket tuk petang ni satu..
L:Satu? ..(nodded and started to print the ticket)
Y:Ooo..so kiranyer yang malam ni dah abis la?
L:Lumut?Malam ni?Ada gi.. (say..what?)
Y:Aik?Tadik kata suma dah abis?
L:Apa?Habis?
Y:KATA TIKET SUMA ABIS???
L:Ooo..abis tu esok.Ari ni belambak gi ada..

Y:La..saya nak ari ni nyer bukan esok...kasik tiket malam la kalau camtu..
L:Haaa?Esok?Malam?Dah abis la...tak paham ke?
Y:Malam NI, bukan esok.Akak ni pekak badak la...!
L:SAPA PEKAK BADAK? ..(what the fuck?!!That one she heard...damn..)
Y:KASIK TIKET MALAM NI KE LUMUT.SORANG.
I looked at the price boards next to me when I asked for the ticket.Trying to hide the guilt la konon.So then she printed the ticket and handed it to me with a look that 'I was supposed to be afraid with'.Yeah, nice try.I handed the money and the change handed back.
Y:Akak..bffekefsdlmrtkermfglkjrtjwjpirtkldfj..
L:Aper?
Y:uryeoriepotjfdkjuqwoewo[oasjksjdiejri
L?Aper?Tak dengar?
Y:Akak ni confirm..PEKAK BADAK!!
L:Ish BUDAK ni...!
She stood up(behind the counter lar) and I hovered myself away from the counter,gave her a smile and left.YES!!!Of course I was mumbling then, if you were wondering...just to get back at her...muahahahahahahahahahahahahahaa...
Act 1.Scene 2
Location:Just outside Masjid Jamek.
Actors:Yen and one Crazy Fellow.
Y: (What the fuck is this guy doing?Standing here..staring at me?Fuck!)
CF:(Still standing..)
Y:(What??Did I do something wrong?Why is he staring at me?
CF:Allop kawan..tanya sket boleh?
Y:Hmm?Boley...takde halnyer..
CF:Apa pasai lu duduk sini?
Y:Haa?Atas benteng ni?Aa..aaa...penat la.Itu pasai duduk.
CF:Ooo..penat aa..ok,ok..apa pasai penat?
Y:(Huh?What the fuck..) ..aaa..tadik jalan dari pudu sana sampai sini..
CF:Aiya!Itu pon penat kaa??!!
Y:(Ni pehal emo lak nih)
CF:Wa aa..sudah empat tahun jalan sana sini tadak penat maa..wa kuat o0o0..
Y:(Hmm..this is weird...)
CF:Lu gila ka...muda² sudah penat ini macam..cepat mampoii o0o..
Y:(Say..what??)
CF:Apa la..muda² suda gila,suda penat,apa macmbla..bla..blabalablablabla..
I couldn't hear much after that as he turned and walked away.Addressing to everybody in his way how crazy and tired I was.Damn.As he was leaving,I noticed that he was wearing a blue-short-sleeves-shirt with white stripes,not too seasoned..a black pants with few patches at the back and...no shoes!!Damn!!Fuck!Orang gila maaaa!What the fuck?!!I was talking to an insane individual and he even called me gila.And me,being so stunned..I guess with his 'crazy' questions and replies,didn't even bother to look at him carefully.Who was the crazy one then?Fuck!Whaaaattt...???He looked decent, except the no-shoes-thingy..hahaha..damn!Could it be crazier than this?What a day it was!Haha...
Anywaaayyy...moral of the stories..don't argue with a pekak badak lady, because she might hear you(huh?) and never say you are tired to any orang gila because you might be called gila by aa..aaa..a orang gila(huh?)
Argh..whatever!
