To those who read my previous entries, dun feel bad for me. Cheer up.
It' good to think how fortunate I am now. I've never expected my life to change within 5 months. From a lazy bum to an active sportsman, Babz was right, I indeed have changed. To those who think i'm bragging, well dun waste your time and get out of my blog right away. Simple as that.
I'm born with a heredity asthma which i got from my mom. I had frequent attacks when I was young. When I began to realise how I need to be responsible for my own health, so far there are no signs of asthma, at all. Syukur Alhamdulilah.
Next is soccer. I was never capable to kick a ball, never capable to score any goals, and never capable to even think of getting myself involed in any soccer league. Now, i'm in Midland Wolves FC fighting for my attacking midfield position.
Life's good when you know you made a change in yourself, physically and attitude wise. Altho some may agree that sometimes my attitude sucks, well no one's perfect right? I have to deal with jealous freaks here and there but hell yeah I'm enjoying life now.
Setbacks and sad situations are all God's tests. You gotta learn to overcome it. It's the effort you put in that matters the most. Whether it's gonna work out or not, it's up to God.
I will never link this up with relationships. Because no matter who you are, where you come from, whether you are short tall big small fat thin ugly pretty, it's all fate. All I need is hope and a lot of effort. Some people are blind to this but it's okay, no one's perfect right?
Bear this in mind guys, some people do change. For better or worse, I chose better. If you think im worse than before, well screw you man. Haha.
Fiq signing off. Enjoy life people, smile always.

Spent most of the day thinking of the past four years I have spent, making myself a complete fool. It's time for me to WAKE UP and MOVE ON.
All my love,care and concern; Someone else deserves it better.
Agreed?
Whatever.
Bike's almost done. New paintwork,new signal lights,new chrome throttle bracket. Sweet.

My heart stopped once; 6th August 2005
My heart stopped twice; 16th August 2007
Once more and i'll be gone, i'll lose the key to your door, lose the path to your heart, lose everything i once hoped for.
Some say i'm faithful, some say i'm just a tool,
Others think i'm a fool, but i think they're so cruel.
But it's not up to them to decide. It's between you and me.
How I wished everything would start all over again, from the day I set my eyes on you.
It's not a matter of why, some things are better left unexplained. You gotta feel it coming.
So tell me tell me tell me how you feel... ('cos i know it's been one-sided all along)
Just like a jewel in a haystack, you're one in a million.

I guess no one managed to notice my bandaged right leg today. I wore jeans! And it itched like hell i have to press hard on the bandage to suppress it. Tried to walk as normally as I could. School today was something new. We learnt how to use the Xray machine. We were introduced the different components and uses of the whole xray system. Had some fun along the way too. Poor Helmi who played around with the black phantom head not knowing that there's a real human skull inside. I bet he's so gonn have nightmares tonight. Malam jumaar lagi, amik kau ubat.
Back to service 159, until further notice. My leg still hurts. And ya Mubarak, stop nagging at me with your 'Do not speed-Think of your loved ones' speech. Hahaha.
Thrill is nothing without speed. Never Say Regret.

This is my first day and THIS had to happen. I rode to school today and you guessed it, I screwed up at amk ave 3 on the way home. Poor judgement left me braking late and almost overshot the stop line, luckily there weren't any cars going past from the CTE side. In my frantic ordeal to stop the bike as quickly as possible, I used my foot. The bike wobbled and I fell on my right side (thanks for being so kan cheong altho there weren't any cars in front). Visor cracked AGAIN.
Tomorrow will be a busy day despite there's no sch. Have to respray the scratched ferrings and get a new visor. For MHR helmets, only Ah Boy stocks the spare visors, so I have to go all the way to MacPherson Rd.
Nah dun worry peeps, i'm fine. I only hurt my right leg.

Hari Raya is ALL about forgving one another and forgetting the bleak past we once had. But i have to come cross some people who still don't get it. They appear to dress humbly, speak nice words, some even older than me,some write nice words and philosophial quotes and phrases in their blogs using the best of English they learnt, yet they do unexpected things behind the computer. Things that truly justify their real character.
You heard me right. There are people like that. I'm beginning to learn from that past experience of mine. Nowadays it's hard to judge people just by first impression. You really2 have to know them well. And i'm not the kind of person who likes making enemies. The worst ever ocnflict i was involved in spread to 2 whole years and is finally resolved. Main reason? MISUNDERSTANDING.
We humans never fail to misintepret things. Some like to take it to heart and try to get their revenge so they "feel satisfied" after doing so. One such character i encountered,was the strangest of them all. He/She did the most unexpected thing out of the blue. God knows how i felt when i found out the truth of what really happened. I have friends who happen to read my 2nd blog and one of them realised i wasn't part of it anymore. How would you feel if you were in my shoes? Thanks a lot to those who managed to console me on that day.
Next time, if you feel or THINK like someone has done something wrong to you, and you happen to be his/her good friend, isn't it sensible to talk to him and tell him what he did? The whole world will be at peace if he realises his mistake and turns for the better. By doing what someone did to me, it was clear who the victim is now.
Went to yana's open house. Had some fun talking nonsense with friends there. Tried hard to appear as happy as i could. It's a happy occasion so i shall try not to disappoint anyone.
I'm trying to forget this matter once and for all but judging from your attitude today (and i heard what you said alright), i have to type all this down. I tried to pull strings with you, yet you chose the harder path. May God bless you, my friend.
But i'm still terribly disappointed in you.
-Fiq-
P.S: Thanks yana for the open house. Everything was NICE! Memuji la pulak eh. Hahaha! Aku memang pemalu kan..

Went to 'work' today. Went to this condo at Grange Rd to help unpack books and sort them out in this guy's library. Worked from 10am to 2pm. He gave us (Me,Helmi,Hussairi)$50 each for helping him out. And he gave us another $50 to split into 3 for us to break fast today. So my pay for working for 4 hrs = $67. Happy like bird la. Then went to school to buy books.
Met my dear sis Diana for pool at KPool. Played till about 5 then went home to continue spring cleaning..my room is now neat and tidy..everything cleaned up spick and span. I still need to hang up the new set of curtains tml.
Buka outing with poly classmates cancelled last minute, so i ordered pizza hut for my family. Spent $37.30.
I've bought myself another set of raya clothes. This time my fav colour, blue! So it's blue and dark purple for me this year.
I'm so happy to have a new part-time job. I was approached by Bob to join his company as a freelance kayaking coach for individual events with various secondary schools. Pay is good, i get to kayak + receive $40 for a 2-hr lesson. After powerboat license i can also opt for boatman and the pay is $50 per half day. Thanks a lot Bob. I owe u one bro. (My target is to earn back the $230 i paid for my powerboat course)
Ok lah, guess that's all i can update, oh ya, tml's the last sahur of Ramadhan 2007, which means, 1 MORE DAY LEFT TO RAYA~!!
...and i feel like i'm being tested...
...patience,care,concern,confidence...
...i lack them all, do i?...
...so tell me...

Caltex Challenge was a flop. Not that my team didn't do well, organisers screwed up. Pit marshalls eating ice cream when they are supposed to be taking timings. Our team had it enough when we waited there at east coast the whole friday only to be told to come back on saturday for our race. My team got a timing if 12.21 and were supposed to be in the top 6 from Category A,yet we weren't called up to come to the finals. Shiok right? Anyway we decided to heck abt it, since we had fun anyway. Took some pics after the race and slept in 87 all the way home...
On sunday(ytd), went for powerboat practical lesson, learnt how to manouvre the boat (60hp yamaha engine,imagine how fast it can go), practise Man-Overboard drill and learn how to berth and unberth safely. My group completed our lessons and assesment the fastest so we were given leisure time to play around with the boat. We took turns to speed the boat like nobody's business until our instructor had to pee urgently in the middle of the sea. When it was my turn, i gradully throttled up until i see some sea space for me to do high speed turn, it was INDREDIBLE. I straightened the engine and went for a straight dash after a sand barrage was towed past our boat, i went full speed in the direction of oncoming backwash created by the sand barge and its tugboat. The whole boat jumped and splashed back into the water with a loud thud. Notice that in high speeds, the sea surface feels like concrete. The instructor behind cannot tahan oredy, haha. The rest of my group at the back of the boat were going "woohoo! power la! eh gay la go faster la!"
After lesson,i tried out my group mate Bob's scrambler. It's the Honda XR400 with illegal aftermarket exhaust...so it's freaking LOUD...It's... it's...it's....like WHOA! Imagine just getting on the bike and getting the feel of it is incredible enough...the clutch is smooth but not the gears due to the fact that it's a SCRAMBLER. Had a fun ride after all, going over kerbs, carparks all...hahaha..it's gonna be a long time before i get to ride that bike legally. After getting 2B, i have to wait ONE YEAR before i can take 2A.
At the end of the day, i find that driving a powerboat is much more fun than driving a car.
There's more space,no lanes, no traffic lights, no irritting horns, speed limit of 13 Knots (it's hell fast on land), feelling of riding the waves is priceless!
Adding on, i just got a new chassis for my rc drifter. Came with the red Impreza WRX shell.
Think that's all for now. Cya

From left: Wahyudin,Me,Hafiz,Shang Feng
I'm rare. My blood type is A-
Stuck in btw an Impreza and a Lancer
Shang Feng and Me with the S15s
Met Hafiz and Wahyudin at hg interchange n set off to bedok mrt to meet shang feng and immanuel for our go kart race at East Coast park. Reached bedok mrt and took taxi all the way to ECP C'park E1 and registered out group. Was told that all the scheduled races will be delayed so we went to walk around. Played XBOX 360 with shang feng, Project Gotham Racing 4 rawked man. tempted me to buy one but no.haha. i promised myself i will save up. Waited like hell down there until they say the last race will be scheduled tomorrow.I was reluctant of the change in date but i had to give in, it wasnt the organiser's fault anyway, the whole delay was due to some participants screwing up the go karts by pressing both and accelerator and brake pedals together,causing a disruption in the clutch, therefore inviting numerous engine breakdowns.
So we went off, me and shang feng saw some beauties there, Beauties? CARS of course. Heavily modded ones!
3 Nissan Silvia S15s
Mitsubishi Evo 9 GT
Mitsubishi Lancer EX
2 Subaru Impreza WRX

Alright. Let me share with you how i got my pay gone within 2 days.
Yesterday:
Give parents $100 each
Orginal Umbro England jersey = $84.50
Adidas Absolado Red TRF FG soccer boots = $95
Adidas Red soccer socks = $11
Today(omigawd...)
Top up my BBDC 2B account = $200
Tamiya TT01D Drift kit Subaru Impreza WRX = $250
Sony Ericsson Walkman earpiece + remote = $48
New helmet visor = $8
Total damage = $896.50
I still cldn't believe i spent that amount in 2 days. but i still have my I.T show pay coming soon. hehe.
Anyway, it's been a long day today. Woke up late, just to realise i was late for prac. there goes my $32. went to sch to meet helmi and hussairi aiming to buy books
but found out that book sales commence only on the 10th oct. It was helmi's idea. Screw him. We walked around AMK hub then went off on our own. I went for a haircut at J&Jess at hougang ave 8, my hair turned out nice, not bad...anw that salon's been getting lots of goot reviews so it was worth the try...will be going back to that salon for future haircuts. As soon as i reached home, Helmi and Hussairi called again. We met again at Punggol to play street soccer with Hussairi's friends. I had to go off at 6pm so went off earlier with Helmi...reached home at 6.30, washed up and went to AMK hub (yea i went there twice today)...walked around and grabbed myself drink when it was time to break fast. earphone connecter went loose so had to get new ones...went to this sony ericsson shop handled by two pretty ladies (dun get me wrong, i am only complimenting them,haha..)
And in two separate incidents, 2 different people called me handsome on the same day.
First was in the taxi otw to punggol:
Uncle: Handsome man, where u wanna go?
Me: ..... er Punggol Plaza please...
2nd, the conversation btw me and the 2 sony ericsson ladies went like this:
Lady 1: Sir, i need your Surname to confirm your 6 mth sony warranty for your earphones
Me: Sorry i dun have a surname. mine giving u my full name instead? (takes out my IC)
Lady 1: Alright...show me your IC
Lady 2: Hahaha..just say name is Handsome. Handsome hor. haahahaha...
Me: ......................................
the downside is, they do have looks but their english is HORRIBLE. and i ain't handsome. they must be short-sighted. lol.
Once again, i am only COMPLIMENTING the girls. hehe. Went off to hg green to meet bruce. Had dinner at LJS before heading back home...

Let me make it clear about the code of conduct of blogging.
If you are not happy with someone,and you happen to be his or her friend, tell him straight if he had made any mistakes. Isn't that what a friend should do? Don't go around blogging aimlessly leaving ppl to wonder who you are referring to. There are millions out there who might happen to read you cute little online diary. Sometimes some people like to do things that safisfy themselves to the expense of hurting other ppl's feelings. Am I right?
So I want you to come forward and explain to me what went through your mind as you did all that to me. Or else I will look for you instead.
I was right. If you read one of my previous few entries, friendship starts to crumble if you differentiate your friends. So to the people concerned, leave me out, it's better that way. I shldnt be added in in the first place..
Thanks for the wonderful times.

I was taken out from admins.
Oh wells.
