Eid

    Happy Eid al-Fitr from both of us! Eid al-Fitr is a celebration for Muslims to embrace the end of Fasting Month which is Ramadhan and celebrate them with Forgiveness and humility. As you know, I'm a Malaysian born and proud. So all I can tell you about Eid is based on my Malaysian's point of view. So if you're from somewhere else and you find this to be not what you'll be doing, don't be offended, maybe it's just different on how we're celebrating Eid.

    I'm happy to celebrate Eid. Extra happy this year because this year is the first time that I'm celebrating Eid as a husband. I'm grateful and consider myself lucky because my wife, she cooks all the best meals. The traditional chicken rendang, briyani rice, and today she's cooking Lontong(I don't know the English word for Lontong, just look it up). I'm so lucky. She tried all these kind of dishes just to make us have the feeling of Eid.

    Both of us are missing Malaysia. Eid in Malaysia, man. It's one hell of a celebration. Open houses every where! Family, friends, colleagues and even the furthest relatives down the family tree. Missing our family, missing the environment. Usually in Malaysia, during the eve of Eid, kids would go around playing with fireworks. It's kinda sad when it's just the two of us here. Yeah we went to an open house near Shannon but it's different than open house in Malaysia where it's just family. We missed that feeling. Well, I missed that feeling.

    Had a chat with my wife a couple days back, I'm gonna save up money to buy flight tickets to go back to Malaysia next year for Eid celebration. That is my aim now. I like seeing my wife with her family and I hate to see her far away from her family in the time of a festival or celebration. Selamat Hari Raya (Happy Eid) everyone!

     Assalamualaikum. Good morning.       " What do you mean? Do you wish me a good morning, or mean that it is a good morning whether I want it or not; or that you feel good this morning; or that it is a morning to be good on? " - Gandalf from the The Hobbit      I am not well. Not physically but mentally. I feel like gonna jump out of my skin. I feel the loneliness. Oh yes, I am right now single. Just broken up with a girl that I thought I could commit but I can't. She just not for me. Her ways are not for me. Actually before that I've broken up with the perfect girl that I've been together since form 2. Last year, I felt the love wasn't sparked anymore. I felt like the fire burnt out. What is wrong with me? I dropped a dime and I feel miserable because I dropped it. I shot a hole through everything I loved. I burnt my own castle and I feel miserable. Why did I did that? Allah has mysterious ways of showing me the light. I still...

Red Dead Redemption 2

      Hello. What's the craic. I'm at work now. Writing this post. As the title name, this post is about Red Dead Redemption 2. It's not just about RDR2. It's about game. This post is kinda different for what I normally write which are about my past or my feelings or what I want in the future. This post is just about gaming. So let's start typing and you guys start reading.     Past few weeks ago, I played God of War 2018. I achieved 100% achievements on it and the game is amazing. I didn't say was as it still is in my deep suppressed thoughts. It is an amazing game. The combat, the orchestral music, the story. Don't get me started on the story. It's an amazing experience! After I finished God of War, I felt some emptiness of trying to find the next game that I wanted to play. Some people would call it the "Post Witcher 3 Depression" syndrome. It's where gamers are unable to find a game that is up to par with the last game he played. It...

College of Mara Kulim Part 1

     Assalammualaikum and good morning or evening, depends on where you are. I want to babble about my journey entering College of Mara Kulim. Yes, Finally I'm a college student! First day of registration, I had no help from my parents. All they did were sending me and waited for me to finished the registration. I had to do everything myself. Some parents might saw that was kind of harsh but I know that they did that for me to be independent. I had to carry my own bags and everything. I met new people. Various kind of Malays from other states. Most of them are from Terengganu. The first two person I greeted were Faiz and Hadi. Both of them are assholes but cheerful. Then, there was this dude who lives in Kulim but previously lived in Kelantan. His name is Adrian. The accommodation is a dorm full with cubes. One cube can fit only two beds. My cube-mate is from Sungai Petani which means he lives near my house. When I meant near, I meant by very near. He lives in Taman Ria J...
