Currently blogging from rainy Penang. Raya's here, and I'm busy blowing my Raya money on good food and cybercafe stints.
Which, of course, include my blogging stints as well...^_^;;
Can't help but wonder how I've progressed through Life so far; I've seen quite a number of miserable cases before, and given how things are going around the world, I sometimes wonder if anything CAN be done to make things better.
It seems that most of us humans tend to forget that we ARE capable of reaching the stars, preferring instead to remain on the ground, cursing our Fate and God.
A shame and a pity.
Sometimes, I wish that we humans would realize that we all contain seeds of greatness, and that it's up to us to plant them and create a beautiful forest...
But it's NOT too late. My mission here is to make people realize this. And as our numbers gradually increase, we WILL be able to make this Earth peaceful once again.
The road towards that aim will UNDOUBTEDLY be difficult, but I have faith in my friends and comrades.
2-DAYS AFTERWARD, EDIT: Forgot to mention WHY I'm here. A cousin of mine is getting married tomorrow, so I'm busy "preparing" to greet the lucky guy.

Now THIS is funny.
Who'd have thought of THAT? I mean, sure, a lot of people read blogs, but having your dear mother (or father) reading your blog is so...EMBARASSING.
Rule Of Thumb #183:
To quote Kain from the intro of Legacy Of Kain: Soul Reaver 2,
"One must keep his friends close, Raziel, and his enemies EVEN closer!
Always bear in mind that a lot of people frequent blogs, and that means that although you have a small degree of anonymity, DON'T PUSH IT.
In the meantime, I'll be looking up my blog's template again. With luck, I'll figure out how to add the links to blogs I've been to previously.
Wish me luck.

17 days into Ramadhan, 18 nights of Terawih prayers.
Before I begin, a link first:
Gendou's Anime Music Page!
That's where I downloaded the FULL version of "Viva Rock". STILL no sign of the ~Japanese Side~ edition. Also picked up "Call Me Call Me", one of the songs from Cowboy Bebop. One of my favourites.
Ramadhan's about to end much faster than I thought. Looks like I'll have to perform the full 23 rakaats once night #21 comes round, which may be much sooner than I think.
Fish sighted in Kuala Lumpur's side of the Klang River.
And I thought that no fish were there....^_^;;
If you still remember my previous fishy tale, you'd remember that I was in Klang when I spotted those guys fishing.
Today, however, I was waiting for a couple of friends to show up, and I happened to be at the Central Market LRT station. One floor below the train terminal, and one floor above ground.
Got a clear view of the Klang River from there. And while I was still wondering when my friends would show up, a fish showed up!
A red snapper. AGAIN. I never really expected that at all.
Kuala Lumpur's side of the Klang river happens to be moderately clean, if you consider the occasional debris nothing more than a mere annoyance. It smells of the sea, strangely enough.
That brackish smell I know all too well, from times long past.
If you happen to come round there, take a sniff!

Let's see now...15 days into Ramadhan.
Picked up a couple of links:
1. Muslim WakeUp.
Lots of articles concerning Islam in many places, plus a few other things. Not that I'm heavily concerned. Still, it's got a few hits in the right places; perhaps it might be able to help humanize Islam, unlike some people who'd prefer to DEMONIZE it.
10-SECOND IMMEDIATE EDIT: I stand corrected. Looks like here's an article worth reading:
How Friday Sermons Should Be Like!
That ought to keep us Muslims awake, instead of putting most of us to sleep every Friday.
2. Hybrid Be: Next Generation's music section.
Picked up Naruto's 3rd anime ending theme from here. It's called Viva Rock, and the group who made this is Orange Range. Kind of catchy. The anime ending's version is called Viva Rock ~Japanese Side~, and is more catchier than this version, but who's complaining?
Hope someone's got the lyrics.
In other news, only a few more days remain before the CNDS exam hits me in the face. Unfortunately, my emotions seem to be on CRACK at this moment. Not a good sign.
Wish me luck. And luck with a few girls...^_^;;
Hey, who said Ramadhan had to be BORING?
Now, go and download that MP3. Trust me, it's addictive.

30-SECOND IMMEDIATE EDIT:
My inner child is ten years old!
The adult world is pretty irrelevant to me. Whether
I'm off on my bicycle (or pony) exploring, lost
in a good book, or giggling with my best
friend, I live in a world apart, one full of
adventure and wonder and other stuff adults
don't understand.
How Old is Your Inner Child?

Almost true. I'm more of a walking person.

APIIT's going to KILL me if they spot me downloading MP3s, but THIS site's worth it, at least to me.
Rockman / Mega Man soundtracks!
The music there's pretty good, but I'm going to need lots of cash to buy the CDs.
In other news, Mahoromatic: Motto Utsukushii Mono (Mahoromatic: Something More Beautiful) a.k.a. the 2nd season of this anime is currently casting a shadow over my exam revision.
I mean, it's quite a deep anime. Of course, I suggest you watch the first season before you pick up this one by any means, Kazaa being one such idea...^_^;;
Here's a few links:
1. Cassie's take on Mahoro...
2. Mahoromatic Love, version 3.0.
And, of course, there's always Google.
Checking out this blog, I noticed that although it may seem as if no one comments much in my message-boxes, there ACTUALLY are comments!
Blame it on shoddy code. Still haven't gotten round to my other blog at Danchan's YET.
GemWing holds sway over it, but repairs and upgrades to it will take quite some time.
Here's the Blood Phoenixes' 2nd Sanctuary. Still under much construction.

Day 8 of Ramadhan. 22 days left.
Last week's project presentation was a slaughtering. Of me and my teammates.
We failed ourselves by not putting enough effort into making the project a success.
That leaves the exam to worry about. Currently obtaining information to stay intact.
Also have to consider ACTUALLY working to obtain money.
It is no sin to be a follower, but it a sin to REMAIN a follower.
