Adjay77’s Memories…

he Unlucky Day of a Mat Rempit…

Last Tuesday…or was it Wednesday? (I can’t remember), I was on my way back from work about 7ish. The traffic flow were strangly smooth on this particular day but I never knew how strange it was going to get. As those that know me, everybody knows that I ride a Suzuki VS125 Scooter. Have you’ve all heard that some ‘mat rempit’ and scooter riders don’t mix. Like water and oil don’t mix. I don’t know how long this has been except that innocent people from both sides, sometimes get hurt from small insignificant incidents.

Anyways, I was on my way back home when I heard that inmistakable sound of a ‘mat rempit’ motorcycle. I looked at my side mirrors and lo-and-behold I see his ‘mat rempit’ on his (shiny) Yamaha RXZ150 weaving through traffic like he was shooting through white water rapids. And sitting passenger was his buddy, arms crossed in front of him with confidence with a smug look on both their faces. They’re expression looked like they just shagged a cow or something and thought they had just won a Guiness Record or the like!

Where was I? Oh yes, does everybody know the U-turn underneath the fly-over in front of Kelana Jaya heading back to Subang Jaya, Sunway and Puchong? The one with Shell Depo’s on BOTH sides of the highway? Thats where this ‘funny’ story starts…

Now this two dudes were weaving throught traffic heading towards the U-turn as I am. Weaving motorcycles usually tend to ‘chop’ in front of other vehicles because they think its cool (and thats what happened to me and I could have sworn the two ‘homo idiotes stupides’ were smirking). To the other people its like they’re the Executioner and they’re going to ‘behead’ us. SO, up comes this U-turn and the RXZ took the U-turn like Max Biaggi and I was Valentino Rossi on the attack. I was doing something like Tit-for-Tat for the ‘beheading’ thing and figured the U-turn was my chance to get some payback.

Unfortunately, Other powerful forces were at play. I could see (from my angle’d view) that the idiots were taking the corner a little too fast and too low. All I could do was watch (with facination) as the pillion rider’s foot clipped the 30cm high inline curb, then the riders; finally the bikes exhause pipe which caused the rear wheel to slide. After that, I saw the two’s sides slam ONTO the curb, sparks, peeling skin and the two eating gravel and dirt. And I had a first class seat to this ’stunt action’ with barely a few inches to spare avoiding the ‘rempit’ skid-out. What did I do after that? I sure as hell didn’t stop. I definitely sure as hell didn’t help them because I’m sure as hell think that they deserved it! That two nearly caused me to have an accident, nearly caused somebody’s car to have an accident and God knows how many ALREADY had an accident because of him. The last I saw was the two of em’ picking themselves up from the asphalt and vanishing from my side mirrors as I zoomed away satisfied.

The moral of the story, don’t be a show-off, don’t be an asshole, don’t look for trouble when you can avoid it; and my favourite… If you can’t say anything nice, Don’t say anything at all.

Call me a sadistic, sarcastic S.O.B. or whatever. I’ve been called worst.

Ain’t payback a Bitch?

There are times when I think that there is simply no time to spend just for myself. Wether its just for small personal pleasure or just for the heck of it. I use to have time to just go out during the weekends and spend time with my cousins bowling or just going for drinks. Nowadays, the time I have I spend it with close friends playing Warcraft Dota after dinner and drinks. A few hours of gaming then, its back home resting for the coming weekday. Oh wait, This week I didn’t HAVE a weekend! I was working one whole week straight including Saturday and Sunday. Coming in at 9.30 and leaving the office between 9 to midnight. What was I doing? Slogging it out for a Government tender with 4 other freelance designers. Oh the wonders of staying in the whole day facing the screen of the monitor and wondering if its night or day, sunny or rainy or if somebody was wondering why am I not home yet?
Ugh, maybe i’m thinking too much of whats going to happen or things that has already happened. Come to think of it, I don’t even know why I’m thinking it in the first place. I usually live my life one day at a time not thinking about tomorrow or the days past. You know the phrase? “Carpe Diem” Live for today, Forget about tomorrow. These are te words that I live by. What ever the consiquences i’ll pay for it later. Enjoy the Now.
But why of all days am I thinking about these things now? I guess i’ll never know. Its just one of those days after a terribly hectic week without a pause. Now I have a splitting headache. Oh well, I guess some people write in Diaries, notebooks hidden under carpets. I write in my Blogs for the whole world to see and its open to comments. now how sad is that? I guess One will never know. One will only just live his life…

Thank you for reading a boring Diary…

The feel or adrenaline before the marshall sounds the starting horn, the claustrophobic feeling of wearing the protective head gear which is the only form of proper protection on you, and that nagging feeling at the back of your head wondering what the hell you’ve gotten yourself into. Oh yeah, and paint pellets which is your ammunition gets shot out at 320-km from an air compressed powered gun.

Welcome to Paint Ball Wars!

This would be my second game and I can never get over the feeling of rush, the excitement and the pumping of your heart when your right smack in the middle battle field, the crossfire’s zipping pass your head and finding yourself out of ammo next to the enemy’s border. And right in front of you the goal of your mission. Two team flags that needs to be extracted and returned to home base. Nobody returns to home base unscathed. You WILL get shot at. You WILL be bruised. And you WILL be swearing at your opponents for no apparent reasons. There’s plenty of reasons actually, but figure that out on your own… I myself have 15 very good reasons and each one of them is the size of a 20 cent coin colored in the vicinity of black, blue, red, purple and yellow.

Next i would like to thank Nick and his Celestial Order guild for the invitation to this massacre. And i hope this won’t be the first and the last because i guess we’re all not satisfied yet with the results! Muahahahah! And also a big Thank You to Max, Sam, Stella, Kiana and Fae’l for letting me lead them into the battle. We may have just met on that day (except for Kiana) but forming Team Roughnecks was a team captains dream. All followed orders and tactic to the plan and I am proud to call you all my teammates!
Team 3 Fae’l and Stella, excellent cover support/sniper team, Kiana and Sam, also excellent sniper/assault of Team 1 and Max, my assault partner in Team 2, we nearly died of exhaustion running for the flag didn’t we? We may have lost the match but Team Roughnecks will be back! Muahahaha!

As for the opponent team, Nick, Dann, Alexi, Gary, Evans and Saladin. You were great opponents and in the end you guys even won when the odds were against you. Congratulations. Evans, sorry for the overkill done to you, Dann, were still not through yet, Gary, stop blinking all over the field, Nick, stop hiding behind skinny tree’s, Alexi, i’m still tasting paint in my mouth and digging paint out of my nose from your double headshot and Saladin, you got some crazy stamina in you!

See you all in the next mission(s)1

Nuff’ Said. LaterZ.

imes fly by and One begins to wonder if One’s ability and One’s doing has been enough. When I think about this, I think of the movie ‘Bicentennial Man’. Remember that movie starring Robin Williams? That was a great movie.

Has what I have been doing been enough? Have I done what I have wanted to do? Have I been with the people I wanted to be? Am I with the person I wanted to be? So many questions and no apparent answer in sight. What should I do? Who should I meet? Who should I talk to?

All my life to my remembrance, I have probably going on a one track journey. No lefts rights or any sorts of deviations. I feel so lost. Looking at everybody around me I wonder if they have the same problem as I do. Why am I even writing this blog? Is it to gain sympathy? To get attention? I feel like theres something large missing in my life and I have a feeling its right in front of me facing me. The problem is I don’t know what it is! It’s just there in front of my face, staring at me, beseeching me to come get it. To claim it is mine… Is it a somebody? Is it a something? Ir is it something that only your heart can see? I wish I knew what it is…

Why am I doing this? What am I looking for? Probably in the end I would never know…

First up, I have never seen the original movie when it was showing way back when. Or even if there was a movie of this strange yet funny movie. But when I went to watch it with my friends, I have to truthfully say it was well the worth the money spent buying the ticket! Even more! It was one of the most imaginative movies I have ever watched by Tim Burton, full of color and a warped sense of imagination which makes it appealing to both the adults and the younger generation!

Now I won’t go too much into detail about the movie. Just a small info on what the movie is all about. The movie revolves around a young boy named Charlie Bucket who is from a poor family living under a shadow or a HUGE chocolate factory owned by a colorful and enigmatic Willy Wonka. Now, Charlie and four other children (there’s only 5 golden ticket in the whole wide world) managed to find himself a Golden Ticket which allows him a one day visit into the mysterious Wonka Chocolate factory guided by Willy Wonka himself. Now this is where all the fun and adventure begins! Full of color and mystery, cooky candy inventions, funny moments, and musical extravaganza theme’ in 70’s straight up to the 90’s. My favorite would be the rock theme which reminded me a lot of Led Zeppelin, Scorpion and Kiss! Watch the movie if you want to know what I mean. You won’t regret it!

My grade: 5 out of 5

The last really BAD haze was in 1997 back in Sarawak where Martial law was first initiated. The count was over 600. The lever for dangerous was 300 to 500. but back then it was 600 plus. So what does that tell you about the haze that we’re having here in KL? Will it get worse, or better? Nobody knows yet. Will they be able to put out the fires in Sumatera before its too late? All this haze sort of reminds me of the game Silent hill. The haze doesn’t drop in on you. It ROLLs in an a creepy way. I saw that for myself this morning going to work. The haze making the sun orange also gives a Twilight Zone kind of feeling. What the helll is going on here?? Its no just the haze, its the smell of it, the white dust that comes with it, and the foreboding effect it kind of wraps around us. Like a Post Apocalyptic kind of mement. Okay okay, a bit melodramatic, yes I know. But look around you people. At lunch time today, i saw a couple of storm troopers walking out of a restaurant! You know those filter breather mask comes in various shapes and designs right. Well, some of them look like storm trooper masks and i also thought i just saw Darth Vader walk by! I think i wanna get one of those masks…
Before i blabber on non stop, i’ll just stop here. And again…

WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON??? ISN’T ANYBODY DOING ANYTHING???

For quite a while now i’ve been playing a sport which has really helped me a lot when it comes to stress relief. That one and only sport which I look forward to every week. Playing it once, sometimes trice a week. Playing till I feel like my are is about to fall of and my back and knees feel like breaking. Listening to the sweet sound of crashing pins of a Strike, the glory of getting a Turkey or the humiliation on spinning or hooking into the gutter. What am I talking about? Bowling

How long has it been before I finally picked up a bowling ball? I think probably about 3 years. I was still studying back then. Now i’m throwing a neon-green, 13 pound Hook ball at defenceless pins. But their not that defenceless. Those pins have faces of people or things which I so dearly HATE. Remember when I said bowling is great stress relief sport. Now you’ll know why. Ever had a time when nothing seems to go your way, and everybody is on your case about something? Just put a face on one (or all) the pins and let the ball loose with accute pressision release and calculation. Then watch the pins explode with great sense of satisfactions. now multiply it with as many games your playing. What do you get? A great physical, cardiovascular and mentally satisfying game.

What more can I say about this sport (other than my TaeKwan Do classes)? Intense satisfaction. Have I said that already? More satisfying now that I have my own bowling ball and shoes. I might just get another bowling ball and those bags with wheels. Lugging a 13 pound ball is murder on the shoulder using a sling bag. Add another 13 pound ball?? I might as well get a shoulder implant! I know my right arm is slightly bigger and stronger with all the throwing around.

Anyway, Nuf’ Said. LaterZ.

In your Career:
When you’re hot, you can be tomorrow’s untouchable
make friends on the way up, and you can expect friends on the way down
<p.
Gray can be black or white
So there are a thousand ways to execute a brief

When you have power, remain humble
Genuine humility expects no rewards

Beware of Greeks bearing gifts

On the mountain, there can only be one tiger

Never get too comfortable becasue comfort zones are for people who stagnate

An open mind can learn anything and adapt to any situation
A closed mind is ready to retire and die

Time is not on your side, so prepare
Make sacrifices to Learn because Knowledge will menifest itself as wealth

In Your personal Relationships:

People never change but we can expect them to

Like Poles repel. Unlike Poles attract (refer to the four personalities)

To possess is to stifle

To love is to set free

Infatuation is blind. Love is an awareness

Give and Take

There is no better person. But there’s always another person

Your parents (and the one you love) are your greatest friends as they are your greatest enemies

To Love is to Hate

Happy today, Sad tomorrow

Situations:
1. A blessing in disguise
2. Winner takes all
3. Its hopeless (there is hope when its hopeless)
4. People who depend on luck are luckless
5. Good guys die young
6. Play safe in shallow waters, and never know what’s out there
7. Life is not a spectator sport (Reebok). Just Do It (Nike).
8. Failures are winners. Those who never fail, will never know what winning is.
9. If you help ennough people get what they want, chances are you will get what you want (Zig Ziggler)
10.Take care of your clients business, and the money will take care of itself (Mr. Leo Burnett)

Some interpritations of the principle of Ying Yang:
In Personal Development / Motivation:
The only constant change in this world is change
The only change that can affect the world is within you

Those who fear death and cling to life will die first

Every time you point a finger, three fingers are pointing at yourself

Fear the Devil and he will devour you
Fear God and he will love you

In Life’s Journey:
Acquire material wealth and you will lose it
Amass knowledge and you will be rich

What you can’t pull along in the journey of life, let it go

Don’t try to cover up mistakes for it will come back and hit you like a boomerang

Fairness builds trust and true friendship. Unfairness is your undoing

loyalty, like respect, responsibility and trust, is a two-way street

In a world of make-believe, always be yourself

Trust your instincts and focus on where you want to go

Courage and being Decisive are the first signs of Leadership

In Business:
To much business is bad
In your darkest hour, there is light
In your moment of triumph, expect failure

Give all you can, and more will come your way
Persevere with passion and you will never hunger

Find the right people and you will save time
Find time and things will get done

The sea is full of fish but you can only catch one at a time
The sky is the limit but you must know yours

To change is to progress
To progress is to prosper

 
Why the heck do I have to participate in this kind of tag game? Personally I’d prefer to play cops and robbers and tag a friend out of ‘jail’! Wonder when this is going to end and with whom.

Yesterday: Feeling slightly lonely even though there were people around me. Ever had that feeling of wanting to care for somebody other than family members? But don’t know where to start? Went to work like normal, went home a bit late, had dinner, went home, watched 2 episodes of Gundam Seed Destiny, Watched CSI: Season Finally, played Silent Hill 2 after a shower, got spooked by a 4 legged mannequin and fell of the bench, and decided to go to sleep.

Tomorrow: More than like try and wake up early because its Friday and there’s also Friday Prayers to go to. That means I won’t spend too much time in the office. Probably go bowling again with cousins. Trying to raise my average score for a competition coming up done by the AAAA’s. Hopefully.
