Counting Down the Days

I have reached the end of the road now. My days at Madison, Wisconsin are just ticking by. This is the time when events or experiences I had here start to flash through my memory. This is when a person starts to feel sad because he/she have to leave all those great memories with frens behind, and start a new chapter in his/her life.

I already experienced it before when I had to leave my boarding school, MRSM PC. I know I have mentioned MRSM PC many times in my blog and its very annoying, but the only reason why I do that is, I miss my MRSM PC days a lot. The memories I had with Serip, Lijid, Pok Yie, Jaha and my ex-classmates. The fun days I spent with Badeq, Tajul, JOEHANdsome, Kode a.k.a Adam Z Taylor and my ex-roommates. And my frens Xack, Mazree, Mat Shah and everybody else. All of you just made my experience at Pengkalan Chepa unforgettable. If any of you are wondering why there are no female names, well, MRSM PC is in Kelantan man, go figure. This picture was taken when everybody was done with the SPM exams. We sort of made our own road trip to Pengkalan Kubor and did a little shopping.

When the day came for me to leave to school, I felt like crying. No seriously. I'm not being poyo or nak jual minyak to attract the girls. Serious shit sedey gile. I was one of the last dudes to leave my room (dorm room), and everytime one of em' left the room for good, I thought to myself "Holy shit! there's a big chance I'm won't see him ever again (gile gay). Out of my 10 roommates, only 6 I have met, Badeq and Kode obviously dak US, the other dudes either jumpe skali due or none at all.

Anyhow, I'm going through the same emotions all over again. At least Pengkalan Chepa is only 8 hours from KL. Madison is 24 hours away and costs more than a thousand bucks. I know once I leave this place I'm never coming back. Once I step into the airplane, I'm never gonna experience how it feels like to be a badger fan. All the memories I had, can only be remembered through photographs and videos. Here are some of the memories I had here in Madison. This pic was taken at Mount Rushmore with the dudes from Madison. Gua Spiderman berambut panjang tuh.

I know JPA can't wait to give me that flight ticket. But do I want the ticket in the first place? Do I want to step into the plane leaving all the good times behind and get ready for a new challenge? Only time will tell.

Lolita: Ohhh Yeah Babeh

Hello everybody. Haven't seen u guys for awhile now. Cut me some slack will ya .. this is my final sem and I desparately need to get the grades. Not that I'm taking many classes actually .. 4 courses that would total only 11 credits, but the thing is 2 of those courses are paper/presentation kind of classes. It's a huge slap on my face coz I'm neither a presenter nor am I a writer. Seriously the main reason why I blog is to improve my writing skills.

Anyways, one of these courses was LCA 300; Introduction to the Middle East. Yes it is a humanities course and since it's a non engineering class all of y'all will assume that it's a piece of cake. Well, not quite. The class talks about a variety of stuff that ranges from the cultures of Middle Eastern people to the U.S - Middle East relations. YAWWWNNNNN. Zzz Zzz Zzz.

Seriously, I fell asleep everytime I go to class, which would be only 5 times coz after that I couldn't stand being in the damn lecture knowing that I'm not gonna learn anything. Might as well take sweet nap back in my comfy bed. I ended up skipping the whole freaking semester. That's not really a big problem since my instructor gave me take home exams and papers. But when a person skips the whole sem then it's an issue coz I basically knew shit bout the course everytime my instructor gave a paper or an exam.
About 3 weeks ago, my prof asked the class to write a 6 page paper based on this book "Reading Lolita in Tehran Blahblah by Azar Nafisi". He gave about 2 weeks to do the task. Being the lazy ass mofo that I am, I only bought the book after a week. So I got 1 week to read the damn book and do some writing, while having another 3500 word paper due the same week.

The book is about how Iranian women are subjected to gender discrimination by their leaders; which are all men. The women are oppressed, in politics, education or economy. They have no power, no voice and no nothing. Blahblahblah. It's like listening to your mother babbling about what you have done wrong. "Hisyam!!! Dah pukol 5 ptg kenape bilik x kemas lagi. Dah Form 3 pon x reti kemas bilik ke blahblahblahblah" That actually happened to me everyday back then. Yes, my mom calls me Hisyam and no, it ain't funny.

Anyhow, I was yawning after reading 5 pages; the book is like 300 pages full of women's issues. No offence but I never had any interest in feminism or terrorism for that matter. To me those who are feminists are lesbians, coz they have a big 'interest' in women. Kwakwakwa. How typical of me. C'mon girls .. men are expected to be shallow minded. So basically the book was boring and I was in no mood to write about feminism.

But I do remember there was this one time when I read in the newspapers about something that happened in Pakistan. This was after the September 11 attacks and the U.S already branded Pakistan to be an Islamic terrorist breeding ground. What had happened was a man and a woman were caught having a relationship. Both of them were from rival tribes in Pakistan. The woman's tribal leaders (which were all men) decided since she humiliated their tribe, the best punishment was to humiliate her and her family. So, the tribal leaders gangraped her. The dude escaped unpunished. Let me remind you that Pakistan not only is considered as an Islamic nation, they are part of the al-Qaeda network. Now, for a country that treats Islam so highly but disrespects women in such a way that the men treat women like slaves, is truly unIslamic.

That was practically what i wrote in my paper. Goreng2 sikit .. got 6 pages kwakwakwa. To think of it I read less than 30 pages of the book. However, now that the semester's over .. I've got nothing to do. Most of my friends have gone back. Dok menyangap je aaa. I may have to finish reading the other 90 percent of the book just to kill the time. WAAAaaaaaaaa. How pathetic my life is.

Bak kate Lil Jon, "Whuuttt!!!!"

I read this in Utusan today:
"DOHA – Jaguh lumba basikal negara Josiah Ng memecahkan rekod Sukan Asia dalam acara 200 meter pecut lelaki dan kemudian bersama-sama Mohd. Rizal Tisin tidak perlu mengerah tenaga untuk layak ke suku akhir apabila lawan mereka ‘‘tidak muncul kerana takut kepada Si Harimau.”"

Takut kpd Si Harimau?? WTF is that suppose to mean. I know the M'sian contingent is wearing a tiger like tracksuit or whuteva, but takut kpd Si Harimau? Since when did Utusan turned into Dimana Joe Jambul bersama Nurzizi Zulkifli? WOW ingat lagi name

Man Utd 3 - 1 Manchester JKR

Yes the picture says everything. Man Utd won the derby game, by a 2 goal margin too. Even though Manchester JKR got one goal thru Trabelsi and I have to admit his goal was marvellous, JKR's defense was next to useless. Man Utd's attack force was rioting in front of JKR's goal and the only thing JKR did was they were running around like a bunch of retards who don't know what the hell is going on.

All 3 United forwards got a goal each and none of the goals were beautiful actually. They were all because of JKR's defensive errors. If Rooney, Saha and Ronaldo were more consistent/accurate with their shots on goal, they could've gotten 2 or more goals each. That's how easy the JKR's defence was. Even Joey Bontot couldn't do anything to save his team. He was practically invisible throughout the game. Maybe Stephen Ireland got a nice shot at United's goal but Van Der Sar a.k.a "Si Panjang" was all over it.

And to think of it, all this while Serip has been bragging about how JKR was going to kick United's ass at Old Trafford. Yeah right. Dream on fat bastard.
Hail Cristiano Ronaldo. He got the Player of the Month award too. IMO, he's going to be United's and perhaps the Premiership's Player of the Season. Ohh c'mon just look at his pretty boy face. Maybe the rest of England still hates him for gettin' Rooney sent off during the World Cup, but I definitely think the girls looovvvvvveeeee him. Muke jambu cam tuh pompuan mane x syioookkk.
