Personal preferences

2010-04-10T15:58:00.003+08:00

My parents will never understand my personal preferences, period. Sometimes they really make me hate them more than I ever imagined.

Rainmaker

2010-03-08T16:58:00.005+08:00

this sight greeted me few minutes before i could be home.
bet you didn't know, the grasses are screaming hooray. no, really.
look at them, all golden brown. poor grasses.

those bangladeshi workers must be sighing hard because their green carpet hasn't been so green lately.
it's like, sitting on money for them.

every sunday, they scatter themselves literally everywhere around my area
(little india)
to lie down..
chat..
drink..
get high/drunk..
stare at girls..
block the pathways..

super annoying but makes their world go round.

as i'm typing, it's raining.

THANK GOD.
TGIR. THANK GOD IT'S RAINING.

it's been like what? weeks? almost a month or over that it hasn't been raining.

nevermind.

2010-03-02T11:56:00.001+08:00

2010-01-25T21:38:00.007+08:00

been beezy. sometimes i don't even touch the computer.

back home late everyday due to school.

my band and I are performing at Sentosa this saturday, 4pm. Siloso Beach.

Be there, i'll spot any of you in the crowd and ask you to come to the front rather than being squished in the back in between hot girls and sweaty beach boys.

i'm THAT nice of a friend. \m/

____________________________________________

chill mangs!

gonna print this and put it on a card for a super close friend's birthday.
alongside a poem on friendship.
a cake without cream along that, she hates cream.

she has an illness that will put her to sleep forever at any point of time.
she needs to go for an injection every fortnight.
her heartbeats only beats at 20 per minute whereas we normal people, on average of 70 at least.

not just any injection, that super painful jab that will even make boys eat rice through a straw.

i promised to be there on her birthday, at her church.
she even made a fuss when i had forgotten her birthday. yeah yeah i is the very the forgetful.

i was skeptical as.. but i had to be there. how could i turn it down.
and.
despite me not being a Christian, all she ever asked for on that day was not presents but me on her birthday.

but fffuuuccckk. i'm performing on Saturday. i can't attend her birthday.

how else can i put it, she shaped me making me what i am today.
she even forced me to cross fingers to be on her birthday.
her friends long to meet me s
she told her friends alot about me.
so i guess i'm that nice of a friend.

'eee taufik boasting'.
who gives. go watch your mom cook.

fuck my life i have an event on saturday.

divided by I.

2010-01-11T13:57:00.003+08:00

uploading pictures are taking ages due to the high resolutions of the dslr.

i'm tired of waiting to upload.. to resize, this that, bitch, please.

don't be lazy and compliment yourself for taking time to browse them thru my facebook la hor.

mm. one day. okay mummy?

ban my ray.

2010-01-03T00:12:00.019+08:00

i didn't even ask for all this.
authentic Ray Ban shades with polaroid lenses ,
few hundred dollars.
ipod shuffle. aiyah, see the colour you already know it spells money lah.
a new wallet, makan drink all expenses paid for.
clothes, and alot more.
i decline to disclose the price.

been shopping like some rich son of some middle east oil trader these few days.

and lastly, a brand new Nikon D5000.

thing is, this buddy is unlike any other. i appreciate this old friend.
i grow old with him.

through thick and thin, i still regret everytime there's cold wars.

you might think 'this guy's really making use of his friend.'
come on. i deserve what he gets for me, and vice versa.
i take it as a token as appreciation, literally.

you might show your appreciation and care by showing your love, concern,
blablabla
but damn,
this friend has his own ways of making me feel so 'taufik'.

for all my life i've breathed trough,
these materials seems to be the most expensive gifts ever. period.

you know you feel good when
someone says whack stuffs 'bout you,
treat you to lunch, movie, etc whatever.
all in the name of
best friend/friend/buddy/mom/dad/grandma/grandpa/neighbour/appreciation.

it feels so wrong, every time it goes
'eh taufik, nevermind ah. you've been wanting it right,
go get it only, i pay.'
when i refuse, kena force.
when i refuse, 'don't action bedek la you. so humble for what. receive and take only lah!'
and when i refuse for e umpteenth time,

' COME ONE LAH TAUFIK! DON'T YOU PITY ME?! I CAN BARELY CLOSE MY WALLET! HELP ABIT LAH!'

CRAZY MINDSET.

even when i'm about to top up my ez-link he hurriedly cashed in for me.
WHOT.
i'm using my own money for my own expenses and he's acting like he grows money.

don't think he's buying me, no. don't think he's got no friends, no.
i am appreciated in a different way.
PERIOD.

uploading pictures taken by the new Nikon only means waiting for ages to upload.
12.3 megapixels.

i'm no patient young man.

i don't know how much more i can thank this friend.
e friendship's priceless.

i thought 'ah okay act rich go shopping time finish already.'

plans ongoing for tomorrow's viva la shop.

his 'muka tak bersalah' kinda turns me off.
tag if you think it turns you off.

the man behind it all.

facetube.

currently retreating away from my home in jb.
and now, at the so called cyber cafe.
RM2.50 sahaja.
thought i'd waste bandwiths and type stuffs.
raining like a bastard currently.

kinda hell-ish at home not having the internet, though i brought my laptop for laughing out loud times.
downloaded lotsa videos for viewing pleasures with my cousins.

gaki no tsukai.

^ so much win ^
episodes of japanese comedy bound to make you self destruct.

only 2 days here, and i gotta travel back to home sweet sing ka poh to receive my N level results.
i'm nervous as coward right now.
cause i know i haven't been doing well.
to hell with it, there's no shame for going ITE.

people have different abilities, some are just kinda slow, you know?
it's just a longer route.

time to shop, pay came in.

no pictures to ponder at right now. i'm at e cyber cafe in jb!

i can't sit, my wallet's too thick.

2009-12-11T02:55:00.004+08:00

cause i got my first ever pay.
off to jb in a few days. i miss my jb home. freedom much.
i'm gonna shop like a girl.

'gon be gettin new pair of shoes tomorrow.
so so so so so so stoked.

how pretty is this baby. forget about buying the bike.
for real men walk.

2009-11-30T17:26:00.005+08:00

literally.

cause all i got was

but it still looks like money.
smells somehow like money.
feels like money.

appears to be that my real hundreds would only cash in on some other day.
some troubles with the boss blablabla.

and i'm gonna treat my dear black friend Syahmi to makan.
then i'm paying debts.
then for some lovely Djarum Menthol.

what more!

2009-11-28T22:02:00.012+08:00

that's how stoked happy excited elated happy
excited excited happy elated happy i am.

MUSE's coming. The Killers' are coming. Greenday's coming.
to add to that, SAOSIN & Rise Against will be the opening bands for MUSE.

how can anyone not be excited. these few bands are what music is today. they are the ones who shape music listeners. boo them hardcore pig squealing bands. definitely not tasteful music.

for these bands are GOLD.

sadly, my dry pockets are all that's left.
cause once i get my pay, all i want to spend it on is

been dying for this. i only pay 700 for this pretty baby. that is if my coming pay would be anywhere above 600. just look at those pretty tan wall tires.
2.1k brand new altogether.

Matt Bellamy
best multi-talented musician ever.
guitarist cum pianist cum vocalist cum songwriter.
his screams runs chills UP my spines.

Chris Wolstenholme
his bass skills leaves me dumbfounded.
just amazing.

Dominic Howard.
you know you see an excellent left-handed drummer if he wears green skinnies.
why bother if those green skinnes are off the hook when you know you constantly tap your feet to this guy's beats.

2009-11-07T18:36:00.007+08:00

sometimes working can really hurt like a bitch.
your legs turn jelly-like when you get home, pains start to develop in the neck and spine.
oww.

while my job don't involve any sexual drives, it's definitely risky.
standing high on ladders close to parapets, my heart changes it's rhythm to double pedal bass mode.
yeah yeah i bitch alot about my work but hey, doesn't kill to know.
don't like? don't read lor. i sharing caring only what.

mats disturbing the peace.

what's bukit panjang without 'em mats with their piyo piyo aka design bikes.
'gua mat piyo-piyo budak design ah siol!'

nom nom nom lunch.

1.5 ltr rose syrup energy drink. courtesy of a generous client who also gave us a packet of pineapple tarts. i appreciate good people.
beats naughty G and redbull fuck yeah.
that's one helluva big bottle of syrup.

great to know these people understand that in our line of work it kills our back, neck and we perspire like a swine catering to them.
eh but i. i just. i.. just.. SNIFF GOOD MONEY!

get high on ladders not drugs.

my shoe's already starting to develop a lip that looked like it has developed gonorrhea. a new pair of Nike is already waiting for me thanks to an old friend, Hidayah. the only human who got me a gift for my birthday.

what better ways to end the day with an unrefrigerated, no cold green tea
(hate drinks that are not cold) and some music.

but who cares when another kind client gets you a drink after a hard day's work.
just appreciate while you can. you get what you give.
if you think i'm a cheapskate, then don't savour your free lunch at work.
trust me, that way, you're being really cool and trendy and hyped being all thirsty and hungry.

last day of bukit panjang tomorrow.
Tampines on Monday onwards, finally time for a change.

need some rest. feel like an old senile 17-year-old now.

another day.

2009-11-05T15:40:00.007+08:00

just another productive day of work. all the drilling and laying out cables' starting to grow on me.
hell yeah ton's of hands on action. you don't get that in sales and retail do you.

i'm in this for the money & experience.
exciting.

was told of what the pay would be like today.
and i sniff good money. manikam manigo.

once i'm done and battered, i'd clear all my debts.
namely mom, sisters & friends. i can imagine shaking leg all day after clearing my debts.
it would be a great relief. living a life without debts is just what everyone wants now in this money sucking world.

would you rather go out with spanking new clothes / materials feeling pressured by debts

or

go out with current clothes / materials feeling easy.

go figure.

nevermind if my pockets turn all dry after that. worth the effort i put in for self-relief.
me no materialistic.

ME NO DO TRENDS.

ammo.

no rain no gain.

function over trend. this water bottle serves it's purpose. the design do not.
period. i thank my sister for this liquid holder.

firstly, i can't be bothered to put a tagboard. will do once i bother. for the time being, deal with the comments box. if you want to comment/rant/complain/link you or whatnot throw it in the comments box.

i had no idea what was in store for me this morning.
for all i know, i left home at 7:30 in the morn.
farrepark mrt - petir lrt (bukit panjang)

got there, met dad's friend and voila. i was given a t-shirt and i was already on the job.
i felt like a straight-up champ.
i had to drill holes in people's homes. (meet friendly people too)
i had to lay out cables on the ceiling along the corridor and into their homes.

all this for running a new cable for customers who just applied for wireless modem internet. we love our internet don't we.

in one whole day, i did a total of 8 houses. with the help of two men of course. i'm the youngest worker so far. oh, dig this, in one whole hdb block, in a day, i had to set up cables and wireless modems for eight customers. so that means, singaporeans apply for ze internetz every single day. in that case i will never get bored working.

love you sing ka poh kiasu people.

made a friend (collegue) with a bangladeshi worker too. he has education for goodness sake and he's going to australia for further studies after finishing this fun job.

you wanna boo me up for being a low class fixing cables and modems for people? for working like a HDB contractor?

HAH, no me = no internet for you.

hell yea i love my job. i sniff good money!

bedok tomorrow for more drilling and setting up wireless modems!

so stoked for having to go around singapore doing a temporary job.

i get to play with fibre optics.

tools not for the fools.

so pissed i could kill a dog right now.
woke up at 12pm only to find out i start work tomorrow instead of today.
another day of homestay.
FML

on the bright side,
my ipod shuffle finally worked after dying on me almost 2 years ago.
at least i still got my 4GB Sony Walkman.
recently i plugged the shuffle again to sync songs trying to see if it will work.
voila.

shitty phone pictures, deal with it.
you're not cool 'cause you don't own this.
i am. i don't do trends. you got a nano/80gb video big fuck i don't do trends.
it's still the lovely music we all listen to.

yeah i'm a sticker whore.

i'll be your singtel guy from tomorrow.

2009-11-02T23:52:00.001+08:00

landed a job. pretty stoked as MJ. amazing how my dad even bothered to get me one thru his friend. i'm never on good terms with my dad. me + dad = strangers.
period.

holidays seems to be a bitch. my wallet's empty, friends are already starting to work their asses off for SGDs. whereas i'm at home feeling so senile and handicapped and old and lazy to ever do anything except for photoblogging & sleeping at 5 in the morning all day everyday.

gon' be working at SingTel tomorrow.
