Your Opinion Does Not Matter
I listened to this song on Hazyr’s blog and it brought back memories of 1997. I was single again, and alone. And this song was then a hit. I used to meet up with my friend Shamsulkamar (Sam) who is now an airline pilot, and we’d play the guitars. This was one of the songs we’d play.
Hazyr, I know what this song means to you, and why. To me, I just sang it as a symbol of an unrequited love.
Enjoy.
A 2-month old Nisaa
My dearest darling Nisaa is 3 today. She speaks now like an adult, clear and straight to the point. She is very observant and very inquisitive. She has the qualities of both her elder sisters. She can be as serious and as stern as her eldest sister, Hana; and can be as caring as her other sister, Fazira.
And she’s a big girl today:

Happy birthday, my dearest Chicha; Ayah loves you very much
She finally rolled over and faced me.
“Hi Honey,” she smiled. “Did you nap at all?”
I smiled back at her and gave her a kiss on the forehead. “No, I did not. I was reading about conversion lenses for my camera’s underwater housing.”
“How’s the shoulder?” she asked, rubbing the shoulder I injured at the gym yesterday evening.
“It’s okay. Just as long as I don’t lift anything heavy. What shall we do tonight?” I asked.
“R&R,” she replied.
“That stands for rest and recreation, Honey,” I said. “We’ve been resting all day, what kind of recreation should we be doing?”
She climbed on top of me and smiled. “Ah, you’re always good at providing the recreation.”
I received this private message two days ago (but only read it yesterday):
Hi SeaDemon

I just want to let u know that I like reading your postings in forum. You can be very factual, witty, funny n sometimes naughty as well. Really a unique character. No wonder they call u ‘The Forum Legend’. Keep up the good work! I’m your fan.
SeaDemon is a character that is very much like me in real life, only that SeaDemon can be more harsh than the real person. I get a lot of PM’s and E-mails like this one. So much so people often wondered if there was a SeaDemon Fan Club during the last MIDE (Malaysian International Dive Exhibition) because people would be asking for me wanting to take photos with me. One is now an avid reader of this blog but has yet to leave any comments. Many read this blog silently.
When it comes to diving, I can be a disciplinarian (I never was until I took up technical diving, because if you get complacent, you die). In the forum, I can be very witty, giving smart remarks; but if you get cocky with me, you get double the dose back. When I whack, I whack without fear, and definitely without favour.
If you don’t have discipline, then diving is NOT for you.
For all you people who slave for others daily to make them rich, here is a cure for your Monday blues:
I took one two years ago.
I’m a lot happier than I was then.
The general elections is around the corner. And like before the previous one, I have been approached again to conduct a course in political intelligence and political motivation for vote canvassers and elections staff to be held sometime next week.
I can still remember how hectic it was during the 2004 General Elections. Everyday my colleagues and I (four ex-military Captains) had to cover Selangor, Pahang and Kedah; so much so that my daily routine for those last ten days were like: morning – office, 5pm – political discussions (am not at liberty to say what), 7pm – off to either Pahang or Kedah, or several places in Selangor to guide the fieldworks and campaigns. Then, it was back home for a short nap and then back into office at my prescribed time of work: anytime after 10am. There were several of us in the office who were working for various parties on either side of the political fence; but come lunchtime, we’d all sit and joke and eat together.
It was fun: suffice to say, I enjoyed all that. All that hard work was translated into two meanings: positive and negative. Positive – all the hard work paid off well; Negative – certain characters in the party saw me as a threat.
That was the time I was stationed in Langkawi. I had had no intentions to run for political office, but because certain characters wanted to see my immediate political demise, I took the situation as a challenge, and I had to prove my point.
My father once said to his friend, Mr Jeganathan, at his office in Wisma Genting 9 years ago:
“If you ask my son to jump off this building now, he would do so without hesitation. Never challenge him.”
I was handicapped, I could not go down to meet the potential voters. In the end my campaign was reduced to just sending text messages to the grassroot asking them to support my cause which really was: PROTEST, with some intelligence groundwork done for me by some friends. Apart from sending SMSes, I did not have to go around buying teh tarik for people, or promise them petrol and/or parking money (terms used to mask money politics, which in turn is a politically-correct but wrongful-deed term for bribery).
I won: both as Branch Head and as a Division Committee member.
This is 2008: the year for the next Malaysian General Elections, and elections for certain political parties.
I have one message for voters for these elections:
Now, I wonder if I have enough time to do a one-night visit to Krungthep before next weekend…hmm…
“When an angel falls, the last thing he will hear is his voice…”
…and down I fall…
Because I can see through your head! Hahahahaha!

I am suffering from Boredom.
Boredom is defined as: “A state of weariness with, and disinterest in, life.”
So how do I stimulate my brain to make life more interesting today? I drew me a picture of a snowdrop in a blizzard:
Now, if you look at the picture below, I am also trying to overcome boredom by trying to figure out which way is the top of the picture. Should I rotate this to the left, or right? 90 degrees? 180 degrees? 360 degrees?
Very stimulating indeed.
Maybe I shouldn’t just look at this screen and be bored. I should try eat and be fed up.
Hmm…my Mandarin tutor gave me some homework to do and complete before next class. I haven’t been concentrating much on that actually. However, I have been testing my writing skills. Below are the things that I have been practising. The top is in simplified characters while the bottom one is in traditional characters. My handwriting is not that good so pardon me:
Yup! Exactly what it means.
