Atreyu’s new album, Congregation of the Damned is out :)

Listened to all 13 songs and fortunately most of them are well composed. They managed to balance Alex’s (lead vocalist) screaming with Brandon’s vocal (drummer), hm because I don’t like Alex to do all the screaming in their previous albums.

Alex

So it’s worth a download buy. I personally like the 8th song the most, You were the King, now you’re Unconscious. The intro and the riff is amazing, not that they can play as good as Avenged Sevenfold (A7X) in term of guitars and drums but the mix got me hyped up for some weird reason. I’ve been following their teaser’s video at Youtube about the new album and keep searching for the background song they used. It’s that You were the King, now you’re Unconscious lol.

Brandon gemuk.

Check out the song:

Download link, while it’s still there.

I wish these bands can come to Kuala Lumpur. A7X has been to our neighbours but not Malaysia. Harapan la, even Beyonce also kena cancel.

 

*This is a scheduled post lol.. I’m stealing some time :P*

Probably a lesson to be learnt for noobs who work with people:

How to read? I know I can highlight the words to get a clearer view but notices such as this shouldn’t be typed with bright fonts + white background. Yellow + white = a big NO! Those two never fit! God…

Semalam agak menggembirakan hati kecil even though demam aku makin teruk. Aku benci hidung berlari, hm semua orang pun tak suka kot. Demam & batuk aku tak kisah sangat, sebab paling teruk pun demam tu badan lemah² je & otak agak lem tapi selesema..? Annoying habis. Nasib baik tadi paper Linear Algebra je, takde la rushing sangat nak siapkan macam subject lain.

Mami call bagi tau surat JPA dah sampai. Guess what? JPA luluskan discount bayaran balik scholarship, daripada RM94k sekarang jadi RM23k. Huuuuuuuu sangat lega. Orang kat Alamanda malam tadi mesti pelik je aku bersorak macam monyet. Eh tapi takde la kuat sangat. Kot. Tapi diorang mintak bayar 10% sebelum hujung November kalau tak silap, which is around RM2k, hoho tak kisah la. Dapat pengurangan tu yang paling penting.

Hari apa ntah aku bang kereta orang. Konon nak pergi isi minyak, masa on the way keluar ke highway, ada van apek ni kejap slow, kejap berenti, macam orang tengah cari jalan. Dan dan pulak masa tengah ram minyak naik bukit van tu slow kaw² then berhenti kat tepi jalan. Biasa la orang macam ni mana reti nak bagi signal ke hape. Dah la brek satria aku tak makan, habis aku langgar kereta depan. Nasib kereta mamat tu scratch kat plate je tapi satria kena teruk gak. Cikainya body satria neh! Gen-2 mamat tu kebal gila. Hoo first accident sejak dapat lesen. Plate kopak, bumper, lampu kanan & grill lari. ASB here I come.

PTPTN dah masuk hoyeah, hmm guna duit tu je la bayar hutang² aku huhu. Beli handphone hari tu pun guna duit mami. Ramai tanya kenapa tak suruh parents aku je sponsor itu ini. Mungkin ego atau mengada-ngada pada sesetengah orang tapi bagi aku biarlah aku yang susah. Umur dah 23 tahun kot, member sebaya aku mostly dah grad, dah kerja & dah ada income sendiri. Aku je terhegeh² hakhak.

Satria tu pun aku dah anggap macam kereta sendiri, even scratch sikit aku dah kecik hati. Bawak kat area universiti ni memang penuh cabaran. Yela kalau aku bawak baik² pun tak semestinya budak² yang baru dapat lesen P ni reti bawak. Drive nak laju je, tapi parking tak reti. Ada je calar kat bumper aku, kes langgar lari la ni. Parking semua nak dekat² je, apa salahnya reverse sikit, kasi lurus kereta tu sebelum ko keluar kereta.

Sejak aku mula guna, servis & minyak semua aku tanggung sendiri. Susah memang susah tapi mana ada benda senang² jatuh berguling. Bila guna duit sendiri baru kita tahu nak menghargai. Orang lain takkan rasa apa yang kita rasa selagi diorang tak alami sendiri, itu aku tak nak cakap apa². Dah ada kereta sendiri nanti dia faham la. Masing² dah besar panjang, takkan semua benda nak kena tegur, nak kena bagi tau. Sendiri pikir la, kan Nabil?

Bak kata abah sekali lagi; bukan senang nak cari duit. Rezeki & luck itu lain cerita.

PS: BTW aku benci tagline “lu pikir la sendiri” tu. WTH.

First time dapat Yuki. Sangat teruja.

Lama sangat tak update haha. Busy la serious busy. Kalau tak study untuk final exam pun aku selalunya tido, tak pun main game. Dah la Maxis Broadband buat hal, memang la aku super malas nak online, YM pun tak bukak, tapi tweet tetap hantar guna SMS walaupun aku tak dapat reply @diorang balik. Boleh je nak online tapi slow sangat dan aku bukan jenis penyabar tunggu websites loading nih. Nanti lepas exam aku jenguk blog korang okeh huhu.

So much of Blackberry crazes sampai aku rasa menyesal beli 5800XM, betul gak cakap @abbymarzuki, I should have waited for BB Curve. Aiyoo!! Tengok! Boleh pulak baca review @benjern pasal Curve tadi, lagi la frust menonggeng. Takpe lah, lain kali beli. Lain kali ye acap, esok² ok.

5800XM tak best ke? Kalau tak banyak sangat hang memang la best. Aku dah mula suka guna touch QWERTY keypad dan boleh type laju sampai orang sakit hati aku reply SMS dengan super pantas, takde short form dan panjang berjela. Tapi suka sangat la dia ni hang. Aku force tekan atau bukak apps laju sikit je dia dah mula gedik, hari tu nak snap picture pun dia boleh sangkut. Padahal aku tak bukak app apa² pun. Maybe phone aku ni je yang rosak, sebab dah tiga kali sejak aku beli dia stuck, dan dua kali jugak aku buat hard reset (reformat). Teruk kan?

Dah dah, aku nak sambung study balik. Takde gap siot final kali ni, kejam gila. Haaa sebab tu aku busy. Bye!

BTW, pictures kat bawah ni aku buat bentuk macam ni je la ye. Aku faham zaman internet tengah slow ni memang payah gila nak siap load site. Nak curi atau lebih clear sila tekan View Full Album, tenkiu.

Makan² lepas habis paper Pendidikan Islam

CNC Milling. Berapa kali daa aku nak buat benda ni..

Lepak library lagi hari ni, nasib baik ruang belajar kat atas buka, tapi still panas. Antara Uniten ni saving air cond atau memang cooler dia rosak. Tapi aku nak assume saving. Ah aku tak kira. Lepak punya lama tapi berapa kerat je latihan aku dapat buat. DE oh DE.. Sunyi betul Uniten ni, aku rasa ramai gila balik, bak kata Zul: mungkin nak amik restu mak ayah. Oh.

 

Lunch tadi aku turun awal, gatal tangan nak check air & minyak hitam sementara tunggu Aiman bersiap. Nasib baik aku gatal, rupanya minyak enjin dah cecah paras MIN, aku agak pelik sebab last week aku baru check. OK je. Aku check lantai takde pulak apa-apa minyak bocor. Mungkin sebab hari tu aku check sambil enjin dah dihidupkan, sebab tadi aku tak hidupkan pun.

Itu tangan Zul bersama enjin V8

Apa-apa pun melayang la RM100 sebab beli minyak enjin baru. Boleh pulak area Bangi ni minyak yang aku cari, 15W-40, dah habis. Yang tinggal cuma 15W-30 & 15W-50. 15W-30 tu cair dan sesuai untuk kereta kecik macam Kancil, 15W-50 ni untuk kereta power² selalunya. Takat Satria aku tu guna 15W-40 je. Ikutkan mileage kereta dah patut hantar service tapi sebab takde masa dan terdesak, aku angkat je. Bila nya nak hantar service, exam start Isnin depan. Lagipun timing belt dah tukar baru, so boleh bertahan lagi kot seminggu dua ni.

Kena claim kat abah.. (T_T)

Hm lagi satu, aku snap dari tingkap bilik. Sila click untuk zoom:

Lembu di Uniten adalah pelik, kami ada kuda tapi tidak lembu.

Orang dah sambut Deepavali daa.. hahaha! Tengah hari tadi pergi melantak raya rumah Khalil. Masa raya dekat rumah orang lain takde camera best, so takde la gambar nak display.

Tak larat nak update sebenarnya. Ni je pictures yang menjadi, aku sangat tak puas hati dengan kualiti gambar. Nanti la kalau ada masa aku practice main settings sebelum shoot. For now sila layan noise² yang muncul:

Tuan rumah di tengah². Dia sampai lagi lambat dari kitorang. Lemau sungguh haha!

Dua budak hitam.

Hm.

Hmm.

Hmmm.

Dah habis dah =) Tapau nasi bukhari pun dah lama habis hahahaha! Thanks tuan rumah sebenar.

GPS tidak lah sehebat mana, kalau tak biasa guna memang kalut lols. Apa yang penting? Kerjasama.

 

 

PS: Roopan ni dapat ke tak MMS wish kitorang kasi..

PPS: Rumah Teha tak sempat pergi semalam. Kamu terlepas raya tahun ni. Huh..

PPPS: Orang Uniten kadang² takde otak, sorry to say, kalau ko kasi orang study dekat library 24/7 sampai habis exam, bukak la air-cond! Buntut letak kat kepala ke? Even kalau rosak pun buat la notis, susah sangat ke? Berapa kali la orang nak complain pasal management ni.. Kang aku buat entry khas untuk complain tercemar plak ko kat google kang..

Quite a busy week, had few quizzes as always, plus we need to complete two assighments before final exam starts. We’re done with Malaysian Studies video presentation, a bit sedey coz other groups did it very well and got me lol-ing hard. Aii..

For Statics group project we were asked to build a tower-like structure that can support a kilogram of load by using ice cream sticks. The trick to win (IMO assighments are competition, not simply a do-and-pass-up work) is to have the most unique structure using the least sticks one can build. That’s pretty much of it I think. Basic dimensions are given though, so we are still restricted to a typical tower look.

To force our team members to buy and collect ice cream sticks until we get enough is impossible so we just use the clinic tongue depressors. RM8 per box is quite okay compared to RM1 per paddle pop rainbow. Give me some bucks and I would love to get enough paddle pop sticks for everyone.

Hm so here’s some pictures after the camwhoring session..:

The basic items

 

The team members

 

Mr. Thumb (index now huhu) paid a visit too!

 

Some crazy moment

And finally the tower:

 

PS: Mind you, I didn’t ask for the colour.

PPS: Saw other group’s towers.. Gempak!

Aku menconteng masa menunggu queue kat COIT lecture hall. Nak hantar borang PTPTN. Sangat bosan sebab tak dapat wifi, dengar mp3 je dari tadi.

Abah hantar SPM result slip tadi. Ikutkan tak perlu tapi sebab pegawai tu nak jugak.. Hmm.. Tengok2 tak diperlukan sebab aku apply guna result A-level. Aku dah cakap tadi kan aisyoooo.. Haih cakap putar2 orang PTPTN ni, sian parents aku. Mungkin dia penat sebab layan budak yang tak reti beratur dan takde otak dari pagi tadi. Takpela..

Hari ni je dah 3 kali aku ulang-alik antara kelas kat admin dan COIT. Apa nak buat petang ni ye..?

Swimming!

That’s nesca studying Differential Equations (DE) around 12pm today at library.

Not even two hours of crammed Differential Equations, the guy got fed up and he spent nearly 40mins doodling stuffs using the phone’s drawing pad application. Hoho.. Very useful for people like me. Kurang sikit vandalism kat atas meja. I planned on MMS-ing the picture thus updating my blog at the same time but being a cheapskate I am, I keep the doodle and post this entry the traditional way heh heh..

Two more weeks till the Final Exam, I was quite shocked to see the 4th Library floor was packed with people, I thought it’s erm still early to study, still got 2 weeks maa <—not my line. Discussion were held loudly by the students, takde control² suara dah. Well I have no problem with that as my earplugs always come in handy.

Back home, I did a hard reset on the new phone. Perhaps I got it bugged while installing apps secara rakus last nite. The home screen shortcuts didn’t show any images and the two buttons at the bottom also not responding. Not even a week since it was bought lol.. I’m still finding a kepak version of Quickoffice Adobe Reader. It’s for reading .pdf file, kira gempak la tu guna untuk bawak study. Cehcehh.. Eh betul la. Sape ada?

Rupanya Symbian Nokia ni dah ada sistem anti-hack yang power. Still boleh nak kepak tapi terlalu tedious sampai nak muntah baca tutorial. I’m still stuck halfway sebab malas, campur pulak banyak kerja nak buat. Guna untuk next semester je la..

Currently waiting for the phone to finish upgrading firmware. Hope the bugs are fixed in this new version.

 

Lama tak update, blog sendiri pun tak masuk sangat, blog orang lain lagi la tak sempat usha. Next 3 weeks dah kena start cram gaahhh.. Final Final!

Anyway here are my few updates:

• I dunno why but since Monday my playlist keep on playing Red Hot Chilli Peppers’ (RHCP). Tetiba terasa nak dengar pastu gi download dan ketagih.
• Masa nak dekat exam ni la baru semangat nak pergi bersukan. Basket la, tennis la, futsal la, swimming.. semua nak main. Habis masa lapang dulu² tu ko buat apa?
• Last week raya rumah Shuk, semalam rumah Nisa & Ayu. Next week InsyaAllah turn Khalil & Fatihah. Rumah Teha tu adalah atas desakan dan paksaan orang ramai. Tetiba plak dia kena hoho.. Takpe kan cik?
• Minggu ni agak penat dan mengantuk. Sangat tension tahan mata dari tertutup time kelas. Macam cikgu Biology aku cakap dulu, benda paling dia benci ialah menahan diri dari terlelap. Betul betul saya sokong! Kena ubah masa tidur mulai sekarang.
• Tadi register subjek untuk semester depan. Sangat tak best sebab tak tahu nak pilih lecturer mana yang available. Last² buat ikut suka, memang suka pun sebab kelas mostly start pukul 10am nanti, tapi akan jadi tak suka sebab dapat lecturer Thermo yang orang kata tak best. Tak best.
• Entah bila nak dapat time slot awal untuk register subject. Apa la sistem Uniten guna ni, walaupun dari segi bestnya kita dapat pilih lecturer & time slot yang kita suka, tapi bagi aku cuma gelabah dan tidak bermakna. Asyik budak Transfer Credit (TC) je dapat register dulu, pastu kitorang dapat saki baki slot subject yang dah basi dan masam. Apa kitorang yang start dari fresh degree ni tidak bermakna di mata anda?

Itu Residence Hotel UNITEN. Takde kaitan dengan cerita

• Kejap kejap.. nak kutuk Uniten lagi walaupun Mr Azree suruh promote, sorry ye sir, saya terpaksa sebab ini blog saya.
• Tak payah la buat sistem online kalau takde sape nak jaga sistem tu. Aku faham orang yang in charge tu cuti kahwin, ambil la semua masa untuk bermesra kemas rumah ke apa tapi yang tinggal tak cuti kat bahagian pengurusan tu tak payah la ikut cuti kahwin jugak.
• Dah la time hujung² ni ramai orang nak settlekan hutang yuran etc, patutnya kaunter tu sentiasa la update dan ramai jaga. Bukan tak boleh bayar awal, kalau orang macam kes aku ni diorang tunggu duit PTPTN. Mara cerita lain pulak. So memang benda ni akan jadi tiap² sem, still pengurusan blur dan tak faham².
• Aku print besar² bank statement tu, niat nak perli, harap dia perasan niat murni aku tu.
• Dah beli phone baru semalam, its 5800XM. Tak payah letak gambar kot sebab semua dah tau rupa dia camne kan. Thanks for the comments guys. Still kekok with the touchy, and segan nak keluarkan untuk type SMS ke apa. lol..
• Aku tak sedar RM19 credit habis untuk mobile surfing semata-mata. Henpon lama dulu guna GPRS je so tak terasa la tolak banyak, ni lupa pulak dah guna 3G, memang sedap la dia makan duit aku. Lesson learnt.
• Now searching for cheap mobile internet package, so far the cheapest is Digi with RM30/month, tapi GPRS. Celcom HSDPA package RM38, no contract with 500mb limit per month. I want to terminate my Maxis broadband now but the contract still got until February, will put it into the phone instead, baru la on the go. Suka hati je ayat itu.

Sekian sahaja ‘few’ updates. Memang dah agak dah akan jadi panjang berjela. Bab merungut aku memang hebat.

Remember this? Yes it’s the tofu super drift car! And guess what.. Toyota reveals it’s new successor- the Toyota FT-86.

Still a concept car though, the pictures above were screenshot from Gran Turismo 5 (GT) video. I wonder if the newcomer can drift gracefully like his old bro. GT didn’t reveal much on how the car drifts but they put a AE86 tailgating a FT-86 in the video. I love using AE86 (video games huhu), the car is so awesome at taking corners!

*I’m in love* *OMG* haihh..

Look closely at the dashboard (click to enlarge). It has zip! WTF! *ignore if it’s a common thing in modern cars and I’m just being a super ketinggalan zaman guy*

Here’s the video:

2 tahun berkhidmat akhirnya handset 1 euro ni jatuh ke tanah jua. Camne la aku nak hidup seminggu ni takde henpon, kalau nak angkat baru pun maybe weekend kot. Apa² hal sila contact saya via IMs ye rakan². Tengok la nanti aku angkat apa huhu..

Handset aku makin kerap buat hal. Dulu selalu dapat double SMS untuk setiap SMS received. Tapi lately ni SMS yang masuk macam suka pulak beranak-pinak, daripada 2 dah mula dapat 4-5 SMS. Icon untuk notify SMS received pun tak nak hilang even takde unread SMS dalam Inbox. Incoming Call kadang-kadang tak masuk, tapi setakat ni tak menjadi-jadi sangat.

Budget around RM1k je and I got two models in mind. Either N79 or 5800 XpressMusic. I listed what I desire the most from a phone in the table below:



5800XM menang bergaya kalau ikut comparison table tu. Aku bukan tak suka brand lain cuma aku dah pernah pakai Sony Ericsson, Motorola dan Samsung. So far Nokia memang terbaik dari segi software and application sebab dia guna Symbian. Android pulak tengah kecoh sekarang ni tapi untuk tunggu banyak Android apps keluar macam lambat lagi jek. SE banyak guna Java je.

Alang² aku dah jadi blogger tegar ni, kalau boleh camera nak power sikit. Design tak penting, sleek tak sleek, stylo tak stylo, asalkan apps banyak. Serik aku pakai handphone lawa kat mata tapi isi dalam.. habuk, macam handphone aku tengah guna ni, Motorola ROKR E8, even 2mp tapi gambar hampes, SE lama aku lagi lawa. Aku dah ada MP3 player so aku tak kisah sangat pasal music.



Lagi satu aku tak minat sangat touchscreen, bagus untuk browsing Internet dan GPS tapi susah nak type, lagi² time drinving. Lain la kalau ada both touchscreen and keypad macam N97 hm hm tapi mahal sangat la plak. 5800XM dah ada community sendiri macam Nokia 6600 dulu, so apps dah banyak dicrack lol. Tapi review ramai kata N79 lagi senang nak guna. Tapi.. Tapi..

Jangan tengok cerita FarCry kecuali anda peminat kipas susah mati game tersebut, meaning anda memang nak tengok aksi bunuh semata-mata. Plot entah ke mana, adegan seks tetiba.. sangat kalut. Budak perempuan tengok Sorority Row, tanya Khalil pasal tu.

Pergi beraya rumah Zul tadi, best gak lauk. Ada la bertrip aku gi tambah. Kalau aku buang malu + segan tadi memang penat la mak dia nak goreng ayam. Oh tadi ada chicken chop dengan bee hoon <—camni ke eja? Aku ngan Aiman dah segan², last² katok dua je saki baki ayam.

…sebelum mak dia tambah lagi huhu.. Takpe lah kasi can kat tetamu lain.

Esok open house rumah Shuk pulak. Lepas tu Insyaallah pergi kenduri kahwin Makcik Sharifah (anak dia ke dia?). Kerap sangat ke kitorang makan kat restaurant dia sampai dapat jemputan? Mesti sebab bising tu yang dia ingat haha.

 

 

Btw, sila dengar lagu ni:

 

 

“Mak jemput datang beraya rumah…

Kat nombor tiga, Jalan Batu, Kampung Badak…

Jangan lupa!

Terima kasih!”

 

. . .

 

 

Semalam

Tido pukul empat, first time dalam sem ni aku tido lambat kerana study. Wow. Walaupun tak bagus tapi terpaksa.

 

Tadi

Ada test Differential Equations (DE). Hampeh kerana soalan kejam.

 

Sekarang

Sangat² penat dan mengantuk. Perlu study Linear Algebra (LA) pulak untuk esok. Beli Nescafe dan Roller Coaster untuk stay up tapi dah terhabis masa tengok Nur Kasih. Pity Sarah kahkah..

 

Esok

Test pukul 11:30 pagi. Then kena shoot sikit untuk intro video. Malam akan ke rumah Zul untuk beraya. Sape nak bet akan dapat duit raya ke tak?

 

Lusa

Kalau ada rezeki, rumah aku pulak ada makan² raya tapi bergantung kat parents aku, kalau diorang mampu handle tanpa bantuan anak² yang asik ada test je tak habis², ada la rezeki korang. Juga makan di rumah Shuk pada tengah harinya. Dapur kami tidak dan tak mungkin akan berasap.

 

PS: Semangat gedik tukar² font.

PPS: Think I’ll take a short nap. Grinding blindly won’t help.

Minor tremors felt here at Cendikiawan apartment block at Uniten Putrajaya campus around 6:20pm. I was reading the Indonesian claim over gamelan and ketupat when it happened.

Sigh.. Tak habis-habis.

It seems like the heritages (and also food) claim has become a hot trend here. Singapore-Malaysia over chilli crabs, nasi lemak & hainanese rice and Indonesia-Malaysia over pendet, gamelan, ketupat, & batik.

Enough la, we came from the same roots anyway, why must we fight over small things like that? We Malaysians have our version and they (Indonesia) have theirs. Scared that tourists will flock to the opposite side? I don’t really listen to this kind of thing normally but the hatred has gone too far. Tahap menyampah.

Over calling names like Malingsia (Maling = thief) and Indon. The truth is we Malaysians are not insulted at all. Like I said earlier, no point to fight over little things like this. I’ve heard that our students at Indonesia were bullied during their orientations i.e they were forced to say “Malingsia pencuri etc” I was like WTF? We allow them to come, get shelter and jobs, and this is what we get in return? Read what I found while surfing:

It's really immature to claim arts that our ancestors shared as solely theirs. I mean, look at Malaysia and Singapore. Singapore basically inherit every single traditional culture from Malaysia and yet they claimed that it's originally comes from Singapore - the best proof is a travelling program at Asian Food channel. It's clearly written at the signboard "Ampang something2" (dont remember la, somekind of food), yet they dare to say ‘only in Singapore'. This is only one of the many things Singapore claim to own when it's actually known to come from Malaysia. And did Malaysia call bad names to Singapore? NO! It's such a waste of time. Arts and cultures are universal, just because it comes from your land, that doesn’t give us the least of right to enjoy it as well. If you want to say that we stole your batik, then why not claim that to Hawaii too? And about addressing your country Indon, Indon doesn’t even mean anything, so why would you get offended by that? And what makes you all mightier than thou to demand us adding 'n' to that?

by it'sNina_witch quoted from Yahoo! Answers.

I watched video about Norman being interviewed by Indonesian TV regarding Pendet dance. They were very rude while asking, as if Norman is the big culprit behind the video making. Later on, Discovery Channel apologized to both countries for the mistake. Well, free promotion for Discovery.

What we can do now regarding this is to sit together and discuss what we have in common that need to be labelled as ours. Like for example the gamelan; just brand a new name to it like gamelan Indonesia and gamelan Malaysia or something like that. It’s hard to please both hearts but we can always tolerate right? I’m not speaking on behalf of the Malaysians but that’s what I can think of. A peace way of settling thing.

Or just don’t put copyright at all. Easy peasy. We share the same tremors anyway.
