Looking ahead

taking on my hike
morning, day or night
head straight looking ahead
To the horizon lies await

but here when the sun sets
there's nothing but upset
As I hike into the night
I'm put in state of fright

these times it limits
To look ahead is to face the heat
As there are blinding lights
Force me to lower my sight

My head bowed down
Face makes a frown
To my feet I stare
Avoiding the glare
Looking down to my feet
Count every step I heed
which each i do count
the small steps abound

pointless it seems
gravely to my grim
planted the seeds
yet slowly it creeps
holding down a sigh
keeping my hope high
moving forward i do
may the light pass through
brighter than a flare
to strong eyes cant bear
the waves i wade
do not make it fade

but the future is kind
when the light is behind
that is the time i wait
when i can again look ahead

eidul adha

i rarely post pic in this blog. but it felt needed. so here it goes

the cake is from spar, city centre mall. just walking distance from acropolis, the senior's apartment where we gather and eat the cake n other delicacies. it is real walking distance not the 'walking distance' when u ask people for direction.

after we eat n chat(and for us a little shopping at city centre mall) we are off to the slaughter house

yes that is abang mahfidz there expertly executing the qurban. after he done that he directly went back to the official business of taking care of the malaysians' qurban; briefing the ustaz, counting the our parts and means of distributing them without a flinch. respect!!

he even offered to cook our parts this weekend. so lucky to have such an awesome senior. :D
*ini bukan bodek


lets count the heads

cut cut cut


weighing and packing
ready for distribution

under the tent outside we hangout.

looking forward to this weekend. to eat the delicious meat cooked by the awesome chef, abg mahfidz and my scandal all the way from belgaum is coming to town. :D

random recipe

ingredients:
  • 1 skipping rope(preferably nylon material)
  • cellophane tape
  • latex glove
instructions:
  1. take the skipping rope. take the middle part. fold 2-3 times according to your preference and diameter of the skipping rope. make sure both of the handle part are placed in the same side.
  2. twist the folded cord of the skipping rope. this step determines the texture. although more twist increases the texture, it compromises on the stability.
  3. put cellophane tape on the circumference of the folded and twisted cord. this step determines the turgidity. put more tape for more turgidity. more tape also increases stability which is essential especially if more twist is applied. note: not the entire length is needed to be taped. the length to be taped is variable to preference.
  4. now cover the whole taped part inside a latex glove.
  5. it is ready to use now. enjoy. if some discomfort occur, reduce the folds in step 1. other variable results can be tried by repeating the steps with different emphasis. happy trying!

trick or treat

It the time of the year again. It is halloween day.

Contrary to the general public expectation, Halloween have little significant to me.

Nowadays for most people, halloween is just a secular holiday celebrated with parties which allows slutty costumes along with the usual dancing and grinding to the loud pumping music.

And with the assumption that i am fond to ogling sexy bodies in tight n little outfit n dancing n grinding (jumping n headbanging) to the loud thumping bass, people expect me to like halloween day.

Long time ago(and for some current cult), Halloween is not just a secular holiday. The wiccans(witches) celebrates this day as samhain day. They believe in this day the border between this world and the other world is weaken, causing more spirits, good or bad to crossover to our world. Therefore at this time, it is said that their spell will be more powerful.

Strangely this is the other reason that some people would assume that i celebrates halloween. It might be the existing notion that i am keeping a pet and/or practise witchcraft. *believing in such power is stronger than God's will is blasphemy

I dont blame them to have suspected such things considering the amount of time I spend locked in my room, how I can suddenly be everywhere, how sometimes I am unusually silent, how on seldom occasion I can really eat a lot and how generally lucky I am.

It is surprising how fast people come into conclusion considering they are not from the same village or the nearby village. They dont even have the privelege of having the full story of my ancestry.

The fact that my late grandmother is a mak andam, local traditional wedding planner who usually applies not only make up to the bride to make them look pretty.

The fact that my late grandfather was a headmaster of a school who own a mystical keris(inherited by my uncle) and a book called tajul muluk(inherited by my mother but unfortunately burnt by my father) which he refers to when helping people as a 'healer'.

The informations are highly sensitive which with a little snooping on wikipedia would reveal a purely coincidental fact that the father of wiccan, Gerald Gardner once resided in malaya. During his stay, he became interested with the local weaponry and magic. Whe wrote a book about keris, excavated tombs at johore lama(i have relatives there).

And then there is rumor that while I am doing my mbbs here in india, I will research about the secrets of ayurveda, yoga, alchemy, and the likes to find immortality. (some even say I want to complete my own version of my book of shadows).

let me confirm that I do not celebrate halloween. Well, not in a wearing a skimpy n tight leather boxer with horns and fake bloods splattered all over my body and dance n grind (jumping up n down n headbanging) with strangers.

Or even locked up in my room sitting in a croossleg in the middle of a pentagram or a circle possibly with a big scrap book open in front of me and incense burning, an urn full of burning bones n herbs n suspicious looking powder and/or a pot of thick gooey fluorescent coloured liguid stirred while reciting some nonsensical rhymes preferably in Sanskrit.

The way I celebrated halloween is by enjoying the delicious tv show specials and movies. And in recent years, I could expext a free treat in the form of a couple(or more) slices of secret recipes cakes. But this year I realise I am not in ktt anymore, meaning that I have to settle for a less perishable treats which will probably arrive 1 or 2 weeks later, possibly even later considering the exam season
