.Malaysian independence and its very own Adelaide's dinner.

2007-09-12T03:11:00.000+09:30

A zillion thanks to all who lent their hands in order to constitute the resplendence of this event. The rapture, the sorrow we endured were the remembrances we shared and treasured collectively.

Followings are the videos for the Dikir Barat's rendition during the dinner from MerGHEYka:

.ghey-licious? yet to be official.

"Ghey"

Etymology
Originally gaming slang. Possibly invented in order to bypass profanity filters in chat rooms or messageboards.

Adjective
(internet, slang, pejorative) An alternate spelling of gay meaning ineffectual, unsatisfying, unfulfilling, stupid, untalented, and so on. Equivalent to the slang meaning of lame.

Usage notes
When used with a derisive attitude (e.g. "that was so gay"), the word gay is pejorative. While retaining its other meanings, it has also acquired "a widespread current usage" amongst young people, as a general term of disparagement. This pejorative usage has its origins in the late 1970s, when homosexuality was more widely seen as negative by a majority of people. Beginning in the 1980s and especially in the late 1990s, the usage as a generic insult became common among young people, who may or may not link the term to homosexuality, especially when directed at inanimate objects. This practice is frowned upon in some communities that seek to ensure respect for people of all sexual orientations, and is considered by some to be on par with ethnic slurs. Many defenders of the word's pejorative usage choose to spell it "ghey" to avoid any sexual connotations. Critics object to this change of spelling, often comparing it to the use of words like "knigger" or "nigga" for nigger to evade accusations of racism.

The Eid gala which I pre-reckoned as no more than run-of-the-mill event eventually turned out to be overwhelmingly resplendent. Thanks to all. My heartfelt apologies and warmest Eid wishes to everyone.

hurm. it was an open-and-shut day for me. woke up early at crack of dawn merely to complete my assignment which compelled a bit finishing-off. later, bear reminded me of today's significance; Isra' Mikraj. made up my mind to fast and then persevered myself to drag my feet off the bed to go to uni at 9am. well-fortunate. the day went on as run-off-the-mill as usual. the lectures went yada-yada. the fact that i realized that i now hafta struggle more to goggle my eyes to copy down stuffs written on the whiteboard was irksome.shrugged.haih. to put it bluntly, the scapegoats were the inapproriate lighting and the lack of ergonomism in the design of lecture theatre, the brightness of the marker pens' ink, or the not-so-legible handwriting (-^). ha-ha. subsequently, went back to my 'room sweet room' and attempted to reach apok, my bosom bud, whos gonna fly off to us today. ill-fortunate. a few mins later, anotha bud of mine, told me that he was already on board.alas, what a bottomless guilt i hafta burden myself with.just hope he'll understand. moment and moment passed by, the sun finally set down. glimpsed at fading golden rays. wish that may too-numerous-to-enumerate good things bestow upon me and ppl around me. insya-Allah.

.tedious evening.

2006-08-16T18:19:00.000+09:30

i haven't updated my blog for a few days. perhaps got no idea cross my mind on what to scribble. well, just came back from lectures. and how my Process System's lect swept me and my other scholarmates off our feet with his a-cut-above-the-rest knowledge. erm yeap should i say d evening's lecture which should be a yamning-wide-out period was turned on. ha-ha. and yeah. these are some interesting stuffs and not to forget the quotations that i've gained from him..

"normal adults' concentration's span is approximately 26 minutes..so what's the purpose of having 50 minutes lect?"

"d generation now misuse the word 'terrific' for something great or tremendous. but d actual meaning of it is actually terrifying.if only Charles Dicken in his time were to know how people misused the word and how terrifying f***ing nitemare u'd have."

his nostrils also flared up in pride knowing the fact that he's got scottish blood in his family's line and his name was given upon the first king of scotland.
"do you know that scotland is the only nation in the world that resisted the rome? and it'd b because the romans thought that scottishes were too barbaric and less than humans, so it'd worthless to conquer scotland.scottishes also never gave themselves to any king but to a chieftain who then would b executed if he didnt do his job well."

"there is indescribably huge difference between 25.0, 25.00 and 25.000. as these numbers simply mean 10,100 or 1000 times more accurate that 25 itself." he also said that he'd been in court for a few cases and he never lost in his case he's in. and once there was a lawyer asked him in a trial and mistaken a number like 25.0 instead of 25 and he quipped "are u saying u r ten times more accurate than me?"

"if in d exam uve done a question and when u got back to it and noticed that u did it wrongly, then if uve got no time to redo it, you may simply write down at the bottom there what uve done wrong and got no time to redo it, i'll sure give u 55% of the total marks for d q. but to the qs that u wrote crap and simply put down 'sorry, i deliberately f***ed it up. so please gimme 55% of d marks' , dont do that, i will know."

"dont b shy to ask qs in my lect. it's better to ask rather than keep in silence when u dont understand. d same goes to the other scientists or great thinkers over there. do u know that in the convention where Albert Einstein presented and explained his theory of relativity, among all of the many great scholars who went to listen, only 3 of them who actually understood what he was explaining?"

"do u know who's the most important person in this university? it's not the chancellor. he knows nothing. the most important person is the chief librarian. coz he's d most resourceful person of all. just tell him wat's ur problem of certain subjects n such and he'll tell u the books to b referred to, where they are, in which levels, which sections and which racks."

"any percentages in a system should be added up to 100% and no compromy for that. and people like the politicians who simply say bout 110% or bla2.. they'r indeed wrong. it's even worse than wrong. it's a crap. it's a bullshit."

ha-ha-ha. and lots more.

It's been a month for the endless war between Zionist regime and Hezbollah. The Zionists constituted its so-called 'peace' which was solidified in armaments and artilleries, which was aforementioned as sort of ostensible retaliation from the case of Hezbollah fighters raided Israel July 12, killed three soldiers and captured two others. The world's growing concerns for a cease-fire are now elevating as more and more civilians were involved in this wide-spread war near the Lebanon-Israel border. Well, pluck one question out of the bottomless pit of them: is it commensurate to promote peace in a war by introducing war in the name of peace?
May the ultimate justice prevail in the end. Insya-Allah.

alhamdulillah i managed to publish stuffs till this very moment. i hope nothing will cross or subjugate my conscious mind to alter the whole layout things anymore. if amendment occurs, should it be for the add-ons only. credits for those who inspire me to set up my very own blog; directly or indirectly, intentionally or unintentionally. from now on, all blah-blah-blah of mine will be scribbled in this recording studio. ha-ha. switch off. dinner.

Hope this blog goes citius, altius, fortius.
