Happy Fasting everyone. may we continue doing the good deeds we used to, but with additions during this Holy month.</li><li>it has been 114 days i've worked with ExxonMobil. to be honest, i'm still not able to stabilize my life up till now. i guess that's the point of working over there, <u>to always feel uncomfortable</u>.</li><li>hence, becoming one of the source of discontentment i'm having right now. it's not like i have been content ever since, but, it has gotten worse :(</li><li>trust me, working life is <span style="font-weight: bold;">hard</span>. the <span style="font-weight: bold;">money</span> is good, the <span style="font-weight: bold;">status</span> is even better. but the <span style="font-weight: bold;">freedom to choose</span> u get, is really gonna make u miserable. freedom to choose: u can literally pave ur own way in life in whatever way u desire. men are naturally greedy, never satisfied with what they have. note: <span style="font-style: italic;">men = human being, bukan lelaki only</span>. :P</li><li>it's such a big world out there, endless discovery - but what goes around comes around, no matter how hard we tried to escape <span style="font-style: italic;">cliches</span>, we'll end up in one. and u'll get to know people in the most impossible way possible. </li><li> hence, the world is actually <span style="font-weight: bold;">small</span>.<br /></li><li>i've realized that i've not been <span style="font-weight: bold;">buying</span> <span style="font-weight: bold;">gadgets</span> since i started working. </li><li>current gadget crave: <span style="font-weight: bold;">HTC Hero </span><span>(screw iPhone)<br /></span></li></ul><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://img.gsmarena.com/vv/pics/htc/htc-hero-0.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 580px; height: 600px;" src="http://img.gsmarena.com/vv/pics/htc/htc-hero-0.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><ul><li><span>oh besarnye gambar di atas. but yeah, that is as far as my gadget hunger goes. nothing else :|</span></li><li><span>i went to the MTV World Stage Live in Malaysia. my 1st concert since i was, 9 years old or something. back then it was KRU. hahaha. it was kinda nice, coz i get to scream my lungs out, let go off everything.<br /></span></li><li><span>wish i could be that carefree all the time, but life's like this, it cant get any better - at least i thought of it that way, i dont care if u dont. it will get better, but when? i might die tomorrow, so it wont get better la then. huhu</span></li><li><span>oh, life (damn, been getting around life for now, someone's gonna hit me back with this. haha). ok, lets continue. oh, life in KL is making me impatient. the traffic jams, the long queues, the amount of people - what you call living life in the fast lane. affected my driving attitude as well. fast. lane. must. speed. accelerate. reduce. braking. sigh.</span></li><li><span>i rarely have time for myself.<br /></span></li><li>i guess i dont love myself enough.<br /></li><li><span>i have a new bad habit.</span></li><li><span><span style="font-style: italic;">i'm afraid of consequences. i'm afraid to give myself reasons to deviate, even for my own good.<br /></span></span></li><li><span><span style="font-weight: bold;">i took things for granted.</span></span></li></ul><span>people</span> took me for granted previously. i guess it's affecting me now. i tend to not care much bout things and when i did that, i tend to care too much on a single thing. No matter what it is, i <span style="font-style: italic;">dont </span>wanna care what's the consequence gonna be.<br /><br />i did take things for granted, consciously. but i know i'm making up for it consciously too. i hope that i'll turn out to be a better person along Ramadhan.<br /><br />for that, I apologize to everyone affected. its a conscious decision, but forced to do so by situations. i'm not perfect, so forgive my humanly weaknesses.<br /><br />to everyone, lets not take this month for granted, as what we did last year. we never know if we're gonna be in this month again. so be grateful! ;)<br /><br />enough rants for today. will be resumed some time later next week. hopefully with good news and brighter outlook on my side.<br /><br />welcoming myself back with a brand new look.<br /><br />last but not least, these are the previous collection of photos that i'm supposed to post 3 months ago i think? haha. i would wanna take more photos in the short future. hope for the best!<br /><br /></div><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/mixedmedia/3485011301/" title="ExxonMobil Building by o b s k u r a, on Flickr"><img

to hear. so basically life's in balance. :) and i'm grateful for that.<br /><br />life seems brighter <u>ahead</u>. i hope it will be.<br /><br />oh oh, and i got myself a job as a wedding photographer! who would've imagined that i'll venture into this arena of photography...huhu. its gonna be a very good experience :D and if all goes well, i hope to continue this as a part time job

close photog buddies. hehe. good for me tho, i need to work my ass off to really really improve my photography skills (and obviously to finish going through my collection before tons of other photos to be taken -_-"). to be honest, i dont really think that i'm up to the standards of those who really had the passion in photography out there. i do see improvements, even if its tiny, hey, its a start right? ;P<br /><br />i want to make a photo collage on my bedroom wall. this idea had been around in my head for quite some time, its just that i dont think i have enough suitable photos to start with. any ideas for a photo collage? theme? substance? subject? anything that any of you can throw me with. hehe. i dont want to create the random uncreative collage like some people ;P<br /><br />oh, my 1st ever job interview <span style="font-style: italic;">sudah berlaluuuu~</span> haha. it was really really tiring to be honest. the interview lasted for the whole day, 8-5pm. one group interview, 3 individual interviews. 11 candidates, 2 groups. i'm the only freshie in my group <span style="font-style: italic;">plak tu</span>. haih. haha. its not too bad, not too bad. i can say it was kinda 'ok'. but then, ok doesnt mean impressive. but it was a good experience, a good chance for me to meet new ppl. "networking is the most important thing when u work" quoted from one of the interviewers ;P <u>i'm hoping for the best, for me to get through.</u> hehe. pray for me!<br /><br />---<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);">some people just took me easily. some treated me like i have no feelings, no emotions. some just dont give a shit if i feel offended by their remarks. i just dunno whats wrong with these people.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">then again, maybe its just me?</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);">give me a chance. </span>syed abdul khaliqhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16532570426050352521noreply@blogger.com11tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2564125229030304451.post-39696334395302749782009-03-05T17:39:00.009+08:002009-03-05T19:41:24.099+08:00Karnival 4 KL - extreme games<div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/mixedmedia/3329779559/" title="Ollie by o b s k u r a, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3114/3329779559_96b4de0806.jpg" alt="Ollie" height="464" width="500" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/mixedmedia/3329616631/" title="Rainbow by o b s k u r a, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3630/3329616631_e1f9632897.jpg" alt="Rainbow" height="500" width="334" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/mixedmedia/3328045813/" title="Failure is just the beginning by o b s k u r a, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3547/3328045813_4912a951e6.jpg" alt="Failure is just the beginning" height="334" width="500" /></a><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/mixedmedia/3324500697/" title="Wee! by o b s k u r a, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3626/3324500697_df6e8fb2cd.jpg" alt="Wee!" height="500" width="312" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/mixedmedia/3319222327/" title="I suck at colours. by o b s k u r a, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3650/3319222327_b357961bbd.jpg" alt="I suck at colours." height="500" width="333" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/mixedmedia/3320045058/" title="The Winner, The Record-Breaker by o b s k u r a, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3652/3320045058_3fbab5624e.jpg" alt="The Winner, The Record-Breaker" height="500" width="333" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/mixedmedia/3319969754/" title="Eek, I want to do that! by o b s k u r a, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3621/3319969754_47a58f3f08.jpg" alt="Eek, I want to do that!" height="359" width="500" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/mixedmedia/3325652777/" title="I don't walk alone by o b s k u r a, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3548/3325652777_b8122cb9d1.jpg" alt="I don't walk alone" height="333" width="500" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/mixedmedia/3325475652/" title="TAMRON 17-50mm f2.8 by o b s k u r a, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3579/3325475652_09fb24dec3.jpg" alt="TAMRON 17-50mm f2.8" height="422" width="500" /></a><br /><br /></div>and the last one is the pic of my new beloved lens! welcoming the <u>TAMRON AF17-50mm F/2.8 Di-II LD Aspherical SP</u> :D<br /><br />haih, this is an expensive hobby to be frank. it has ALWAYS been. haha. but the hell with the costs, i'm lovin this and i would work hard for it ;) buttt, i dun have that much people around that's serious in photography like i am for me to drag them along for a photo hunting session yet. <span style="font-style: italic;">balik la cepat Edwan! <span style="font-style: italic;"></span></span>haha. i need to start experimenting with the new lens soon~<br /><br />life has been pretty much the same since i came back. some things did <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">change</span>. but me?

post is a snippet from Estrella's <span style="font-style: italic;">Take It Slow</span>. and yeah, i'm actually doing my thing currently: being a full time <span style="font-style: italic;">penganggur<span style="font-style: italic;"></span></span>, eldest brother (yeah you know, the usual stuff of picking up younger bros and doing chores -_-") and also a full time (???) job seeker. heee :D<br /><br />it's already 27th of February, in the year of 2009. it has been just past 2 months that i'm job-less. dammit. plans dont just work the way we wanted them to be eh? to be honest, i expect to get at least <span style="font-weight: bold;">interviews<span style="font-style: italic;"> <span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-style: italic;"></span></span></span></span>around this period. so far, what i've achieved are: a full job application to ExxonMobil through my friend, Arif and also 3 resumes submitted to 3 companies during the UNITEN Career Fair 2 days back. the companies: Schlumberger, Sime Darby and Alstom. pretty impressive huh? the companies, i mean. hehe. so total of 4 applications. i'm hoping for the best. and do wish me the best, you guys out there! ;P<br /><br />i do wish to apply for General Electric, Shell, Honeywell, Eurocopter and some other aerospace/oil & gas companies out there. the time will come, the time will come. the application process, i mean. haha. oh i've been so damn lazy and procrastinated lots of chores. i have millions of photos need to be edited and posted. yet i felt like i've nothing to do! haha. anyway, i will be concentrating on my job application for the time being. wish me luck! :)<br /><br />oh and 3 days ago, i went to the Lake Garden (or the less glamourous Taman Tasik Perdana) for a photo outing with my fellow Adelaide colleagues. i was surprised that there were so many places to visit around that area (if any of you know the Tugu Negara area). the places i recall: Bird Park, Butterfly Park, Deer Park, the Lake Garden itself and lots of other parks exist in that area. haha. i will surely visit that place again. and also the Central Market :D<br /><br />hehe, guess this time around i'm babbling bout the activities i did during my job-less period eh? the emotions can wait ;)<br /><br />later~syed abdul
