ayl: back from india

Ayl just arrived home via Los Angeles International Airport, LAX on Thursday(23rd December). He had just returned from a work trip in India.

The recently turned 20 year old triple threat was rehydrating with a bottled water after the long flight while waiting for his checked-in luggage.

a few days earlier he was spotted around the city of Bollywood, Bombay (Mumbai). He was there to discuss a guest starring role in a Bollywood movie but he also took some time to tour around the city tourism spots such as the Gateway of India.

Earlier this month he celebrated his 20th birthday on the 6th December in a very low-key way, still going through his work routine.

Later on the next day he celebrated in a true elaborate ghetto way with his famous friends

It was reported that Ayl will take a few days off to spend the holidays with family and friends before getting right back into shooting for the new film and recording in the studio here in LA.

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

next time you point a finger

I might have to bend it back
Or break it, break it off

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

quarterly review

Today, I have already spent 3 months in mangalore. It is our 3rd mensiversary here in india and as a medical student doing mbbs course in india

A lot of things have happen in 3 months. Personal growth n sight seeing aside, we already finished the upper limb and the lower limb anatomy.

And now we are studying the thorax. Yes, that means we cut open the rib cage n get to see the viscera inside

Everyone so excited to touch the viscera n unfortunately nobody fainted.

Got another allowance from sponsor, but dont really have time to shop.

P/s: I did not forget to mention about the 1st sessional exam. Just chose not to

expression

in my mind, i am this cold heartless person with only one expression. so, it is hard for me to admit that i am an expressive person. when different thoughts go through my mind, my expression changes and people can actually notices easily.

i am going to say it is because my high cheekbone and deep piercing eyes that are attention whore. no matter how hard i try to be expressionless, they would just do their things and show the expressions that they can do. bunch of drama queens those facial muscle. but that does not mean i am easily read through my expression.

the reason is this, i usually gives the wrong expression and therefore gives people a wrong impression.

for example, recently i have a crush at someone. so as most protagonist would do, stare at the girl with longing lovey dovey look. but a recent discovery let me know that from the other side of the looking glass, it is more of a stalking psycho stare. turns out that i am the antagonist after all.

it is amusing. but actually expected cause the longing look does not work on a gangsta without a pretty face.

so tell me where is the line between lovey dovey look and stalking psycho stare?

p/s; i should be an actor that way i could really utilize my expressions talent. but most probably after i got onto the head and neck topic in anatomy so that i can control them better.

*how about utilizing ur other talent which is studying to really study?

too boring. maybe for the 2nd sessional exam. i am going to use my b*llsh!tting talent tomorrow to make up some new protein and enzyme. :P

waiting for the end

this video is too cool.

it is CELESTIAL!!

great song n lyric too

This is not the end

This is not the beginning

Just a voice like a riot

Rocking every revision

But you listen to the tone

And the violent rhythm

Though the words sound steady

Something emptys within em

We say yeah

With fists flying up in the air

Like we’re holding onto something that’s invisible there

Cuz we’re living at the mercy of the pain and the fear

Until we dead it forget it

Let it all disappear

Waiting for the end to come

Wishing I had strength to stand

This is not what I had planned

It’s out of my control

Flying at the speed of light

Thoughts were spinning in my head

So many things were left unsaid

It’s hard to let you go

I know what it takes to move on

I know how it feels to lie

All I wanna do is trade this life for something new

Holding on to what I haven’t got

Sitting in an empty room

Trying to forget the past

This was never meant to last

I wish it wasn’t so

What was left when that fire was gone

I thought it felt right but that right was wrong

All caught up in the eye of the storm

And trying to figure out what it’s like moving on

And I don’t even know what kind of things I said

My mouth kept moving and my mind went dead

Picking up those pieces now where to begin

The hardest part of ending is starting again

All I wanna do is trade this life for something new

Holding on to what I haven’t got

This is not the end

This is not the beginning

Just a voice like a riot

Rocking every revision

But you listen to the tone

And the violent rhythm

Though the words sound steady

Something emptys within em

We say yeah

With fists flying up in the air

Like we’re holding onto something that’s invisible there

Cuz we’re living at the mercy of the pain and the fear

Until we dead it forget it

i know that i shoud be studying but i am just waiting for the end to come. the end of this exam and ultimately mbbs.

on the other hand, this video does have a bit of anatomy

ambiguity balance

3 hot ladies in three subsequent posts
my ambiguity is now at risk

and i know a few people who would be upset if i play only for one team, walk through straight lane and settle for vanilla ice cream, and therefore lose my ambiguity

this post is especially for you

i know u have affinity to stylish and fashionable guys, facial hair and hey, look at that low neck tank top

O.O

*chest furrrr

i have been a fan of jamie scott since the town and 'when will i see your face again'. it was the time when i listen to slow songs in the light and easy fm(currently lite.fm) which is also known as the old guy channel.

interestingly as my music taste evolve to a fond of a thumping bass-line, his new band, graffiti6 sounds are more upbeat.

this track has really crispy bass. and the video are really smart and creative.

not to mention he is hot in this video.


2nd vid

on to the other one, i know you like spanish guy. too bad though the brit up there have more chest fur. lols. but he does have facial hair left. *not shaved along with his mole



though this song is have a comparatively slow tempo, but still have the thumping bass and makes me wanna move. the lyrics and vocals are great.

and he looks hot

most importantly, nicole scherzinger in lace!! O.O

love her.

sorry cant help but mention it. and my effort to be ambiguous just took 1 step backward.

fyi, the 2nd vid is related to the first one cause it was written by jamie scott himself.

btw, this also an ode to my roots and heritage. i have a bit of both brit and spanish blood. filipino and hawaiian too

and i'm crazy

but you like it(?)

loca loca loca



after frantically waving hands, trying to grasp something that out of reach, jumping up and down and twirl and twirl and twirl like a crack-head with florence, we jump up and down and head bang with jenny humpfrey taylor. now time to belly dancing with shakira.

this is what i do all day today
and i am not sorry for letting the sexy image of me moving to these beats implanted on ur minds.

exam in hours but i am still not studying. crazy.
been youtubeing and downloading albums and mp3 all day.

im screwed but i dont care
*continue to shake my hips

naughty blond girl need spanking

excuse the misleading title

it is an attempt to increase traffic to this blog by luring porn addicts.
also to repel prude conservatives from here.

still, taylor momsen is actually a naughty blond girl. i like her character, jenny humpfrey in gossip girl, her style and her band music.

as this post and the previous one suggest, i might be in love with girl in a band. especially gingers(brit slang for red hairs) and blonds.

specially dedicated to the exam on monday(yes, the day after tomorrow) because exams make me, well, wanna die

avatar wondergirls

the video speaks for the title. love that mtv's vma nominated this video n allow her to perform this song. now she would become famous and the risk of her to just vapourized into thin air are gone

'no time jumps, no'

that is what liz lemon(tina fey's character in 30rock) woke up saying in the premiere episode of the latest season of 30 rock.

time jump is a smart story telling mechanism that is utilized to keep a story fresh as it allows more twists to the story, allow more creative space and lots of possibilities. desperate housewife(tv) and one piece(manga) did it.

it will keep the follower of the story interested and intrigued. but it is usually used as the last resort as they will milk the present timeline possibilities before doing so. huddy(house and cuddy) finally happens at the 7th season of house.

some stick to old formula but it still works and entertaining so it is fine. and a twist is risky as it might be jumping the shark and/or people will hate the storyline and stop watching/reading/listening. as a result, the ratings will go down.

but sometimes, an old formula does not work anymore as the viewers would get bored of it. and the ratings will go down anyway. the same way that a spin-off or a new series could begin strong but mellowed down after a few episodes as the story gets boring and/or depressing.

as the ratings go down, the producers and network executives(in the case of tv show) will cancel the show to the misery of really loyal fans who would open an online petition so that the show would be revived. usually to no avail.

the reason for me to bring this up is not because of i am a tv geek and i was sad story like pushing daisies, terminator sarah connor chronicles got cancelled cause as time goes by, similar to the network suits, i will just follow other new shows.

the reason is there is this story i liked the main character so much and followed through the series and the spin-offs. but the latest spin-off earlier episodes are really entertaining as the character getting to know his new surrounding and new supporting character, but the newer episodes are getting tiring and depressing as the storyline gets too serious, the new cast are not interesting and charismatic, the love interest and other interesting supporting character are either absent or reduced to a recurring role.

basically there is no chemistry between the interactions of the characters and too serious storyline makes the character felt pretentious and not real anymore. so the writers better do something cause i believe the ratings are low as i am losing interest in it.

some twist in the storyline is needed; let the character confesses his love to that girl, introduce some new characters, new love interest, or whatever. and they better do it fast cause i believe the show is in high risk of cancellation.

i truly hope that he does not wake up in the morning like liz with 'no time jumps, no'. i wish he wakes up in the timeline 5 and a half years later when he will be already working at his own country. or 4 and a half years later when he just finished studying and is working as an intern. or 1 year later when he has already pass the 1st year full of mindless studying and actually have some real practical work. or at the very least, two weeks later after the 1st sessional exam finishes.

yes i long for time jumps. and it is essentially needed to avoid cancellation of the spin-off. the alternative is he could confess and be in some kind of relationship like huddy. but both are highly unlikely. so cancellation is inevitable? not a bad idea

no love

eminem is rad yo. u go bro.

genius lyrics. really uplifting

closing time

i used to work in the service industry. specifically in the food and beverages industry. the clichéd job of a disney fairytale movie, autobiography of celebrities n basically all rags to riches story. the latest new orleans ghetto disney princess did it, shah rukh khan did it, n most of the hollywood actors did it. yes, waiting tables.

it is quite obvious why it is so clichéd. it builds character. though a short and tragic stint, a lot was gained from it. got some great memorable moments, met interesting people and a lot of lesson learned. my hardcore stalker will remember a blog post(from my old deleted blog) regarding one of the lesson learned and the wise but unfortunate barista. i miss that blog post. probably was my best. n to the hardcore stalkers, i am sorry cause this is still not about thetragic part; why i quit the job abruptly.

as per the title, it is about closing time. i learned to really respect closing time. there are lots of signs given to the patrons in stages to let them know about the closing time arrival. 1 hour before the kitchen will be closed n no other food orders except for pastries will be entertained. 15 minutes later only takeaways will be entertained, no seats will be given. 30 minutes before closing the bar will be closed n no drink orders will be taken. and at the critical time, 15 minutes before closing, the patrons must be blind to not notice the signs given; the pastry bar is closed, menus and (vacant)tables decors are kept, vacant tables are wiped cleaned, bills are given out to each occupied table. 10 minutes before closing time the bill with the payment is taken from each of the table is taken, the cash register is closed n mopping of the floor ensues.

polite n understanding customers would have finished their drinks, foods and business in the 10 minutes time but there are still quite a few that would have to be asked to leave by the manager. which by that time the staff are waiting eagerly to finish all the pending work so that they can retire for the nite. n we do respect the customer n just waits patiently until the customer have left because that is the essence of service industry, customer are always right in other words; @ss kissing.

we are humbled. we accept any way the customer treat us. rude n high voices, degrading comments, ridiculous demands, sneer and jeers, a pat in the arse and overtime customer is tolerated n are not uncommon. but sure it is nice to have a nice polite and friendly customer once in a while. n dat is why i am nice to workers in the service department, always say thank you n smiles to them which is in stark contrast to how i treat my friends n colleagues.

n so its closing time. n i hope everyone respects that fact. closing reason; increase exclusivity of the product, maintain the quality of the product, and re-branding process; to keep things fresh, i.e a fresh start

low accessibility is when u dont have deliveries* for the product and here is only 3 flagshipstores*. 1st store is very exclusive; not many knows about it, and focuses on quality compared to quantity of the product* therefore updated rarely. 2nd store is the easiest access point, situated in a big complex*, where others make their products accessible. huge quantity and cheap product is the focus here. the third store is basically the same as the second store except for only 1 type of product, but in a lesser known complex, less customer thus basically dead. also a frequent reference to the 1st store in producing new product thus order or request can be placed. and all the 3 stores is connected via the 2nd store as any updates in the other two will be advertised there.

the second store is the go to place. eventhough there is no postal, online order and deliveries, everyone hangs out at that complex, making accessibility easy. and now i am closing that store, making accessibility falls very low thus increasing exclusivity. exclusivity is inversely proportional to accessibility. regular patrons grieved and mourned.

but the other two remain open. another one recently opened store is also remained opened but it is still relatively unknown and still subject to exclusivity, limited customer per time and limited type of product. and the hardcore fan should have known about the stores which is still in business.

with the closing of the 2nd store, exclusivity and quality is increased. it is extra special and deeply appreciated by the patrons when i personally send the product myself. and see their reaction is worth it.

p/s: i dont hate apple cause it's exclusivity of i tunes etc, there is a way around that though troublesome. it is caused of over-hyped and overpriced product

*analogies to social networking sites

p/p/s: accessibility will be increased when i get a new phone. i miss texting

cosmic love

cosmic love is a song sang by florence and the machine. i like the singer; her energy n voice especially in the song "drumming song". not to mention her fiery red hair. but thats not the point of this post.

there must be something going on in the cosmos this week. maybe mars and venus aligns because it seemed like love is in people mind.

my friends

a number of my girlfriends(ladyfriend/girl friends) actually talked/chatted/messaged to me something about love. most talk about old crushes, some about future partners and even marriage. note: all of them are single.

are they desperate? no. yes. maybe. i dont know.

what i know is all of them are appealed to the idea of a relationship/marriage. n for some of them the clock is ticking. all of them are studying for mbbs/bds which take a lot of time, and by the time they finished the course, they could be categorized as old spinster in the malay culture
which is a bit insignificant in the 21st century but nevertheless their oocyte number is still counting down.

yes, i am going to make them seem desperate in this post even though they are actually not. perhaps i may make them truly desperate if they read this post

like i said they are in love in this idea of marriage/relationship as do i. who would not? having a significant other to support you through exams and tests and every challenges n boundaries u come across. to listen to your problems. who u can talk about everything from crap to something really deep from your heart; ur dreams, desire and hope for the future. where u can really truly be yourself around and not be afraid that u will be judged. to hold u in the night while u sleep. yes, it is not only about the sex.

but the sad part is they dont have ANY suitable candidates. some of them have long time crushes but crushes just crush the hearts. the longer u have crush on that person, the more u stalk them, the more ugliness on his side is revealed. being a guy i could easily move to other crush when that happens(fickleness of men) but for the girls, it is harder because a lot more emotion were put into that stalking.

some are looking for candidates and asked me for suggestions. and i feels sorry for them. not because they seem desperate or something, but because they have to find a GUY as a spouse. n that is sad because there are just not many decent guys around that deserves them. most of them never dated before, but for the ones that had, their exes definitely do not deserve them n i was quite happy when the relationship was over. maybe it is just overprotectiveness n may also be jealousy.

there are reasons to be jealous n overprotective towards them. they are EXTRAORDINARY people. perhaps if they find a good enough partner, i will be happy to let them go. n as for now, the only guys i see as worthy for them are our seniors(the girls see to see that fact too). but sadly most of them are taken(to the disappointment of the girls).

me

a few days before, a friend asked me 'have u ever truly loves someone?'

i tell him no. but i do have crushes. but crushes are curiosity based and as i knew the subject better, the feeling is gone.

he responded 'i know why u never did, u love myself too much.'

it is so true n he noticed it just by knowing me for 1 month.

to be honest, i do not think that i am a relationship type of guy as i go in and out of crushes very fast n sometimes i have multiple crushes at once which indicates my loyalty level are very incompatible for an exclusive relationship.

but i do know the person for me is out there. i imagine i can be in a relationship with a strong willed n determined woman who can keep me loyal n keep me on a tight leash(i am a masochist). who is random enough to keep me guessing n interested. who when i know more about her the feeling get stronger. who i can talk or just sit with for hours. smart girl who could debate with me on multiple topics even when it goes over the top n completely irrelevant to the original topic. able to withstand n even match or surpasses my wit, evilness n cruelty. girl who reminds me of me. and a good dancer.

sound like i am describing someone? the ambiguity of social networking. u will never know if i am serious or not.

eid mubarrak

the biggest holiday in most part of malaysia. also the biggest holiday for me.

the essence of typical eid celebration for me can be summarized to 3f; family, friend and food.

food

after 1 month of fasting, its time for feasting. eid is conveniently also called 'hari lebaran' for on dat day people 'melebar'. (hari lebaran=widening day, melebar=widens). the feast starts from the eve n last until the 2nd or the 3rd day at my house(depends on the energy of the top chef/my mom and/or the presence and the amount of sponsorship).

for the muslim, ramazan is all about moderation. in eating n everything else. in our malay culture(or maybe just in my family culture) we celebrate eid with excess. especially in food. my mom have an uncanny ability to cook a gigantic portion of delicious food for 20++ plus-size people which would last from the morning until dinner. and trust me, we dont eat on the classic 3 meal per day basis on this day, we will eat breakfast, brunch, lunch, linner(mentong) and dinner. no exaggeration here. understatement perhaps cause i dont mention how many servings each took for each meal and i excluded the eid cookies, snacks and chips that always present around the house. n dats the average minimum cause each is to their own. if i take my bro for an example, i have to add pre breakfast, post lunch, pre dinner etc. we cant help the extra servings and meal cause the food are too delicious n inviting.

the menu is ketupat, rendang daging, kari ayam, kuah lodeh and kuah kacang. the next day, my aunt usually sponsors some food from outside caterer, either beriani or kfc also usually in gargantuan proportions and accompanied by a mix of ice cream or other desserts which is subject to the creativity of my brother who r usually sent for the shopping mission(with me as the get-away car driver; which makes me the transporter?). soft drinks are always present in these 2 days courtesy of my aunt.

after 2 days, the house will be quite and the big serving plates went to rest as my relatives would already left. but my gastrointestinal tract are not allowed to do so for another 2-3 days(subject to the duration of my friends holiday n the competence of the planner; which is really competent except this year. yeah, i was the planner until last year). we went to each other houses; gathers at 1 house initially, eats the foods n cookies there while chatting n gossiping n talking nonsense, always late at leaving the current house as we're bad with goodbyes/lazy bums with hard to move big heavy @$$.

clearly food is a big part of my eid agenda. it must be evident for my kttians friends as they went through 2 eids with me at my liquid phase. before the 1/2weeks holidays and after, significant difference are apparent. in india i compensate by eating at the restaurants for every single meal for the 2 days. the eve dinner at gajalee, breakfast 1st day; nasi lemak senior mahfidz cooked for us(really delicious. but still my mum's better :)), lunch; nasi himpit, kuah kachang, rendang lembu, nasi myk, ayam masak lemak, roti jala n kari ayam(sadly no lodeh n the rendg taste a lil bit bitter. somethg burnt?). linner at ice&spice, dinner at sizzler's ranch. the next day, bfast at mess, lunch at pizza hut, linner; movie popcorn, dinner at amazon. the 3rd day we went picnicking n eat cookies n chips; my idea to compensate on the eid convoy.

family and friends

as our house is built on the heritage land from my maternal grandparent, we become the host for the eid celebration(other unofficial reason is my mum's awesome cooking). most of all 9 of my mother's siblings n(if present) their spouse/s, son/s and daughter/s will arrive the day before eid n help with the preparations.

in the morning we will be filling up the ketupat casing (which most of it made by me). the golden rule of filling up a ketupat casing is LESS than half. the other important rule is; if the ketupat turn out too hard or too soft, that particular ketupat is filled by my bro. by afternoon, they would already start cooking n would be completely done in the night. at night we usually do preparation of material for the next day food. peeling potatoes n cutting vegetables for the lodeh etc. all the while gossiping, singing, chatting nonsense etc.

i heard some people say that people from muar are weird, they havent met my family. if they did, the notion would be reinforced. my aunts n uncles are sporting n fun while at the same time wise n being their offspring, my cousins are awesome too. when we gathered at the table, there is never a silent moment. bursts of laughter are abundant around the kitchen table where we usually hangs out.

the prude n faint hearted would n should stay away from the table coz the topics of conversations/discussions/debates are controversial. these arent typical conversation u can hear from a intergeneration n inter-gender group sitting around a table. its rare to find aunts telling their nephews n nieces about the correlation between the size of a guy's nose and the size of the guys.... errr... look it up urself. thats an assignment. but somehow the discussions will always have some education element in it however lewd or nonsense they are. that's how awesome my aunt n uncles are.

my friends from muar, we knew each other for almost 16years already. n most of them lives nearby n we went to the same school which let them know the unspoken history of mine. they know my situation without me telling them, accepts me for who i am, acknowledge what made me myself but never judge me based on it. in a way that makes me closer n comfortable around them in a way that would never occur to my college friends as they wont possibly know what my friends from muar knew. this is worth repeating, people from muar are weird and i can say that it applies to my friends. being a person who appreciates aesthetics, they never bore me.

they say that 'we cant choose our family'. n the way we are sent here to mangalore, unable to choose our unimates, seniors n fellow mangaloreans, makes us 1 big family. i am grateful to be fortunate enough to get such awesome seniors who by the way they treat us, makes it feels like home. they invited us to stay at their house for the eve of eid. we did the preparations together while chatting until late. next morning to get ready, we queue up for the bathroom, have breakfast together and solat raya together. totally feels like raya at home (minus the duit raya giving n camwhoring)

during the holidays, i also got the chance to hangout n reconnect with old friends and met some new ones. from acquaintances to friends. from friends to family. all the meals and the picnic are great medium for us to chat n connects with each other.

i can add 2 more f's. 1 of them is fashion, where we wear our new baju melayu complete with samping then take pics togenther. i completely loves my baju melayu this year, despite the facts that the pant split in the crotch area. i manage to hide it under the samping by always standing or sitting in a very polite manner.

the other 1 is forgiveness where we ask for forgiveness from each other and shake each others hand n hug

overall, eid in india is awesome. incomparable to eid in malaysia cause it is different. but both are awesome. thanks to seniors n frens who make the good time possible. the seniors makes me think about not going back next year to celebrate it here n do something special for our will be juniors as what they did so that they feel at home n will not be sad on their first eid away.

india, mbbs, me and adventure

i already been here more than 1 month.

i cannot say that i enjoy all of my time spent here but most of it i did. but most importantly i am experiencing. and by experiencing i progress. or perhaps regress. but direction is only relative. it does not matter. what matter is i am not static.

it is not my business but it is sad to see that most people who have the same opportunity as i got fail to see the real opportunity that we are getting. all they see n what is important to them is we got the scholarship to study here and come back with a roll of paper that most probably will define their whole life.

they try too keep to their comfort zone n clutch tightly on every single thing that is within their reach. unfortunately in foreign situations like these, some of them are just unavailable. n then they fall apart n break to pieces. as i watch by, i wish they will pick up the pieces, mend them back together with greater scaffolding just like the bones in our body do.

others tried very hard to keep me from doing stuff like living with a local indian. the negativity that they prejudicially throws towards the citizen of the country with the 2nd highest population in the world baffles me. i wonder how many locals they already know.

that did not stopped me. the word i used is adventure. i want to experience. whether pleasant or bad, i will embrace the experience. i take risks to see where is my limit. n when i reach the border, i will cross it, sooner or later. i am a bit crazy and i am a bit masochist(and sadist).

i am flexible. versatile. i adjust to situation quickly. i can feel that i am changing now. or perhaps its just another part of me by some mild hypocritical quality i call professionalism is present. i dont feel like myself. but then again who am i to define myself? maybe that is the real me?

i cannot answer that question right now. so im just going to embrace this confusion and unfamiliarity.

it is lonely when others dont share the same perspective as me and i misses being around those who understand. around them i feel comfortable n more of myself.

mbbs. too busy for my personality(on my perspective, which could be the person who i want to be but not who i am). n i dont really have the passion to become a doctor. but i like the subject we study. i like the wonders of human body. preventing diseases and improving the body which i can apply to myself. parallel to my libel cause of finding an eternal youth. with that mentality i will finish my mbbs course. n i am going to have fun doing it.

who was your competitor in primary school, secondary school and your a lvl.

wat kind of competitor?
in academic? socially? sports? LOVE?

general question deserves a general answer.
the general answer to dat is im generally not a competitive person.

satisfied with the answer?
*if yes stop here, if no continue reading

y is dat? coz u think dat i am a competitive person? ok then, i will elaborate. i am not a generally competitive person but i am a specifically competitive person.

*wth? dats more confusing. and 'generally not a competitive person' and 'not a generally competitive person' is 2 different things. its a new rephrased answer not elaboration.

i do like challenges because it is self-improving and sometimes challenges comes in a form of a competitor. specifically cause all these years i went through phases and in different phases, i find some aspects more important than others as i view the world differently. for example, i dont really strive for academic excellence during a-level, and it would just be an embarrassment to the person dat i look as competitor by the amount of work i put into studying.

looking back, i really dont have people dat i view as a competitor. coz for me a competition is more about the self-improvement and is not about the competition. mostly i view those people that challenges me as comrades, and we will improve together. either at the same pace, or i chase him/her or he/her chase me, we will both move forward.

and if dat answer still does not satisfy u my competitor is myself. and my imaginary friends. and my alter ego, the deceased dumb blonde cheryl, the latino + nigga from the ghetto Gangsta A-y-l, the snobby brit illegitimate son of the queen dat doesnt even care to introduce himself to such lowlife and much more

thank you for asking and allowed me to bs about something. please come again n give me another topic

Q & A with Ayl. u ask and i'll answer

how would you react? if i say, u're my everything shahril..

its expected but not recommended

expected coz i am
1. good looking
2. charming
3. smart
4. ingenious
5. adept
etc

not recommended coz
i am unbound person. i like variety to the extend that i get bored and move on easily. so the possibility of me maintaining a monogamous stable relationship will be very low. i might either break off the relationship, pull a disappearing act(m.i.a) or have affairs.

but this only apply to the general public.

u however are quite different n unique. u r random and u surprises me sometimes so perhaps u are able to keep me interested in you. u r smart and can hold ur own opinion against me in an aggressive argument i respect ur opinions n enjoys arguing with u and i believe it's great for my personal development n growth. and with all my quirks u still can tolerate me and sometimes able to subdue me.

so in short, perhaps u can put a leash on me...

taking this in consideration, my reaction will be asking my mother to put on a band of relatives to go to ur house n ask ur family for ur hand in marriage. then we make beautiful n smart babies n live happily ever after.

~the end~

p.s: the great thing about social networking site is the way we are communicating with our writing contains no body languages that could determine whether a statement is a real honest truth that comes deep down from the heart or just plain blatant lies. this statement is the truth. or partial truth. or not true at all

p.s.s: can see dat we future mangaloreans uni students are setting up for a dramatic love story 5 years in the running. kmc's sue + yenepoya's mun asked me similar question

Q & A with Ayl. u ask and i'll answer

Men are my kryptonite. What's yours?

weak spot. achilles' heels.
i could list a few things that i had considered as that, but as humans we progressed and gets stronger. especially if that spot is attacked again and again. bones gets denser, more b cells produced. i fell then i get up. i hurt then i am cured. each and every time i get stronger. n its strange that superman have not develop immunity towards kryptonite considering the amount of time he is exposed to it.
i actually consider myself as very close to invincible now. very apathetic. sometimes i even wonder if i will ever get hurt or cry again. and i am looking forward to get hurt so that i can emerge stronger and progress forward with the experience. to me that is how we learn. that is why sometimes i am very daredevil and provocative. i like to exposed myself to danger. i am masochistic in that way. n to teach people and make them stronger, i hurt them.(might just be a rationalization of my sadism though).
for now my weight is still an issue to me though i am close to conquering it and i know i will. but i might also struggle with it for my whole life but it really does not concern me as much as it did and wont effect my general happiness and well-being as long as i am healthy.
other than that i am currently weak against attractive people who does cute things. i'll go ahhhh n then melt. but it usually lasts for a while only. perhaps its the hormones.
there are also a very few people that i really admire n will response to their booty call/orders no matter what

Q & A with Ayl. u ask and i'll answer http://formspring.me/qnawithayl

1st post

well before we start finding ayl, lets figure out what ayl is....

*oz accent* from all the way out ere we can see the habitat of ayl... oh crikey, theres a big one right there.

no ayl is not a crocodile. he is not steve irwin either. but he would like to wrestle with crocodile

origin of ayl:

long time ago in the land of Imaginaryland, unicorns and dragons once lived peacefully together. instead of feeding of each other species to extinction, they feed on the underexploited and renewable source of energy which is human babies. there was an island there called Fantasyland located right beside ktt, sepang,(which was the most respectable and the only monsters prisons and correctional institute then. really famous for the KI spa package which include the exclusive and revolutionary water-boarding). at the coast of the island there was an honest couple working at an honest free-range grass fed chimera farm called Promotingbestiality. one day the couple received endless tweet from a blue 2-dimensional bird deity called Twitter that as follows

"u will get a wonderful baby that shall be named ayl"

"he will be hunted by the unicorns and the dragons"

"for he has high nutritional value"

"were very valuable and were the key for either species to achieve their ultimate goal; to join the glee cast in season2."

the couple where terrified but just that night they get to work anyway. they started with a romantic candlelight dinner of roasted panda and banana fritters with lady gaga's bad romance playing on their ipod as the background. then they proceeded to the couch, strategically placed around 5.1 dolby digital surround sound speakers, in front of a full hd led tv and they put a xrated blu-ray disc into a player. then....*content removed due to explicit, highly fictional, misleading and infidel nature and too much information revealed which the conspirators do not want the general public to know

the etymology of ayl comes with the next post. promise that it will be more useful than this in our quest in finding ayl

until the next finding...
