     Hello. How's it going? Everybody good? I'm great by the way. Better than ever. Well, let me tell you a story how I got the name Meat Man. In 2012, I think, or is it 2011, I can't remember. During those times, I studied at a school in my hometown, SMK Bandar Sungai Petani. Directly translated, Farmers' River City High School. Every day during those days, I usually go to school around 8am and went back home around 2pm. I went to school by a school bus with my cousin, Ashraf. We went to the same school where he's in Form 5 (last year) and I was in Form 3. When school hours are done, me and my cousin would go back to his house as my mom were working at that time, thus nobody's home to look after me. Ashraf's mother, my aunt, was not working then. So, she would look after me until my mother picked me up to go home. Every day at 2pm, both of us, me and my cousin would watch this cartoon show on Cartoon Network, Adventure Time. It was a blast at that time. We ...

    Hello. How're things? Everything is good here. So, to the main topic, how's life in Ireland? It's great. My wife and I are adapting with the new situation of ours. So, every weekday I'll be working at the semiconductor company from 9am to 5.30pm and after work, I'll just go straight back home. Eat dinner that my wife cooks and hang around (mostly playing games or watching movies). Sometimes I would buy takeouts from a place called the Pizza Planet II, it's a Muslim pizza store that sells burgers and doner kebabs. It's a good place for takeouts anyway. Good price.     Well, over the weekend, what we usually do is that we have our breakfast at home. We go out and hop on a bus towards the city center. The bus we usually hop in are the 304 Bus. It'll go straight towards the city center. Once at the city center, we'll walk to 24-7 shop for pre-lunch or brunch. It's a halal food store that sells pizza, burgers, kebabs and chicken fillet sorts of st...

      Hello. Assalamualaikum. Morning. Afternoon. Evening. Depends on where you are in the moment of, you're reading this post. It's all good. All grand. Just a quick post today. In the near future, this blog (my journal) will have a few posts of stuff in Ireland, specifically Limerick. You know... like where I buy Muslim products or Halal foods or Halal meats, all that stuff. Yeah. Hopefully the posts will be a guide or some sorts for Muslims, who'll be travelling to Limerick (who wants to travel here anyway?) or who'll be relocating to Limerick (this makes much more sense). Okay bye now.

       Hey. How's things? I'm grand by the way. Got a job to do today but then there's some issue happened, and my work got delayed for the 2nd time. That's grand. After lunch, I thought of things to do, and nothing came to mind except this blog. So, I'm writing it with an empty mind. I just write what came up in my mind and I'm lost now. Have you ever heard of reminiscing? Sometimes, I reminisce the memories of me in the past, before marriage. How was it so simple back then. Go to work, come back home and just hang out with my friends, Irfan, Hafidz (Pak Din) & Imran. Every single day for the past years. Sometimes I miss those moments, you know. We would just hang around for hours and straight go to sleep. Sometimes I just think that did I move too fast? Did I do everything that I wanted to do before marriage? All of the questions got a quick answer when I go back home and see my wife. No. I didn't move too fast. Yes, I enjoyed everything that I wanted ...

     Hi guys, I'm doing good so far. How are ye? I hope you're well as well. Currently, I'm not well. Got a flu. Fekin cold in Ireland is not good. It's 10 times worse than having it in Malaysia. I've been coughing nearly the whole day now. My boss kept asking me if I'm okay. Same answer every time, "Been worse."     So, I'm just writing this to update that I'm good. Everything's good so far. Just bought a monitor a while back. I brought most of my stuff from Malaysia. Works going fine. Got a lot of stuff to do here at work. Mostly boring stuff, nothing that I haven't done before. Next week is getting exciting I guess because I'm going to learn a new process in Semiconductor. That'll be grand as they say.     Missing my wife actually. Although, it'll just a few hours of me and my wife are apart, where I'm going to work, and she'll stay at home doing home stuff. We got married in May last year. I planned my things acc...

     Let me tell you a story of a boy who dreams a lot. You guessed it, it's me. I dreamt a lot when I was a kid. Aren't we all, right? To get a good job, good money, great friends, great love partner and so forth. I wasn't into engineering before this. In school, I always interested in astrology. Studying the stars. I like it but my father once told me that if I pursue this course, it's hard to get a job in Malaysia for this. That's when I stopped dreaming about things. That's when I knew that dream is just a dream. I have to be realistic and start thinking about my actions.      So, I started to study, but it was kinda late at that point cause the big exams were just around the corner. Thus, I got mildly good results, not great, just good. Good enough anyway. Then, I got into a good pre-university program, it's a foundation program for technology bachelor's degree. There I really know my potentials, if I pushed myself a little bit, I could do it and I...

" Titled: Let me rewind...      Hey, morning, afternoon, depends on your area.      The name's Red. I'm currently in my living room typing this in the dark. I'm writing this to tell a story of my life. Let me start back when I was 17. "      This is what I typed when I was back in my old rental home in Kulim. I'll continue the post next time. Let me give you guys an update of how I am doing. I'm in Ireland. Limerick to be precise. Working here actually and living. It's been a long time since my last update. I'll properly post blogs after this. A way of keeping a diary or some sorts. Well. I got to go. I'm at work actually and I'm currently working on good stuff over here. I'll update ye next time. Bye.
