Days of future now and a certain somebody turns 24

Welcome,dear readers to another edition of Drain Bamage. I really do not have anything to write on for the past few days.I've been busy with some things that requires my immediate attention,which was assignments.God,I hate assignments.Those things can make your world crazy and give you sleepless nights.That and the fact that I'm facing with some confidence crisis.

With the final exams looming,you ask yourself:Are you ready for it?Are you ready for what's coming to you after you're done with it?Are you ready to work?Are you ready for Megan Fox's wedding?Hell,those questions are really bugging the hell out of me.Plus add the fact that my confidence is kinda shattered bit by bit.Is this a sign of me being a part of the Looney Tunes family?

In order to get my questions answered,I went to see a lecturer who peeled me bit by bit and exposed me to the truth.Kinda dramatic,don't cha think?Seriously,her words were very......interesting.She said I was the type of person who can be dependable and can manage people well.The other thing that she said was that I am a squarehead.In layman terms, it means that I'm too straight,naive and always following the rules.I guess she's right.She also said I wasn't the academician type of person.Shit.There goes my ambitions of trying to be a tutor or if I'm lucky,I could be ....(pause)....a lecturer.I don't look much like a lecturer,right?Geez.Mebbe now I don't look like one but wait three or maybe five years,I'll definitely look like one.Mark my words,Miss Aliza.I will prove you wrong.

Anyways, that little pep talk by Miss Aliza sure has given some inspiration to do good in my finals.Kudos to her for that.Now if only I can something or someone to lift my shattered confidence.A simple "everything's gon to be alright" from the right person would definitely be nice.Sigh.Look up "screwed" in the dictionary,see my face.Hit laugh track.

This is still not finished yet.I still have some other things to ramble about.Oh it's May 1st 2008.Happy Birthday to Alia who has just turned 24.You're not that young anymore,chere.May the force be with you.Oh, in future,or maybe in 2-5 years time,please come to my wedding.I dunno who I'll be married to but I'm definitely getting married.Not with a dude,that is.So,cheers to Alia who just turned 24 and to all those other people who are celebrating their birthday today.Enjoy your day!

By the onion rings of Burger King,I have been smitten!

I bet that title up there sounds like something comical,huh?What I wanted to ramble about is that I just watched this really great movie - Hitch.Ever heard of that movie? Of course, you guys have. This is one romantic comedy which everyone should watch. You'll just wish that you had somebody who can set up a chance you to talk to the girl you love.I gotta get me one of those.If I had girl problems,I'd find somebody like him to solve it.I so do not want to end up on Oprah.

It's a story about a guy who helps out guys who wants a fighting chance of asking a girl that they love out and maybe hook up with them. However, he meets his match in this very defensive lady reporter and finds out that every principles that he holds dear to him does not work for him.It's just so sweet watching how Will Smith finally tells his love interest, played by the very hot looking Eva Mendes. It's corny right?I am a sucker for these romantic comedies.One of the best lines from the movie was this:

When you're wondering what to say, or how you look... just remember... she is already out with you. That means, she said yes, when she could've said no. That means she made a plan... when she could've just blown you off. So that means it is no longer you job to make her like you... It’s is your job NOT TO MESS IT UP.

Now,THAT is something inspiring.It just gives you the inspiration to just ask anybody out for dinner or lunch or brunch with somebody.It kinda relates to what's going on with current situations right now.Now I ain't gonna tell what's going on but hey,what I can really say is that I'm pretty much sure I've been hit by one of Cupids ridiculously stupid looking arrows.Maybe it's Eva Mendes.Maybe it's the Olsen twins.Or maybe it's just some girl that I know.

Here's another quote from that movie:
Basic Principles - no woman wakes up saying "God, I hope I don't get swept off my feet today!" Now, she might say "This is a really bad time for me," or something like "I just need some space," or my personal favorite "I'm really into my career right now." You believe that? Neither does she. You know why? 'Cause she's lying to you, that's why. You understand me? Lying! It's not a bad time for her. She doesn't need any space. And she may be into her career, but what she's really saying is "Uh, get away from me now," or possibly "Try harder, stupid," but which one is it? 60% of all human communication is nonverbal, body language; 30% is your tone, so that means 90% of what you're saying ain't coming out of your mouth. Of course she's going to lie to you! She's a nice person! She doesn't want to hurt your feelings! What else she going to say? She doesn't even know you... yet. Luckily, the fact is that just like the rest of us, even a beautiful woman doesn't know what she wants until she sees it, and that's where I come in. My job is to open her eyes. Basic Principles - no matter what, no matter when, no matter who... any man has a chance to sweep any woman off her feet; he just needs the right broom. ----->ignore the red colored writing.

The real question about that quote is..issit true?If it's true,then I have a chance.If not,then I'll just hum "Bye Bye Love" and build anxiety.Hey,Hitch,you norse bearded son of so-and-so,where do you get all those ideas about love?

What you give,you get back

Welcome,readers, to another edition of drain bamage. I have no idea why I like to use "drain bamage" instead of "brain damage". It kinda sounds cool when you say it all the time. Like the word "spatula".That's a funny word.And duct tape.And chimichanga.And rebuttal.

Anyways,I would like to write about these words "what you give,you get back".And no,it's not the title of the song sung by Scorpions.That is a crap song which bombed on the music charts years back.Seriously,a song with wordings like that makes for a crappy song.

Ok.Back to my original rambling.What I wanted to say was that have you readers had that feeling that with every good deed that you do,something good will come out of it?Like for instance,you put a measely 5 cents into a charity box meant for the children's orphanage.You might think that your contribution is nothing much and that it won't mean spit.However,if you sincerely put that 5 cents into that charity box,you will definitely get something bigger from that 5 cents.It's true.I once put in 5 cents into this charity box at the mosque and I got something totally unexpected. You see,there was this one time during my practical training days,I was out for lunch with a senior in Deloitte (for those who don't know what a "Deloitte" is,it's an audit firm.It's one of those "Big Four" audit firms in the world). Then, he suggested we go have lunch at Chillis.I said "OK,let's go."But in my heart,I was saying "Oh my fucking God,I don't have enough money on me to get through lunch!Where's an ATM when you need one?".So,I told him that I needed to find an ATM to withdraw money.But he said,"It's OK.It's on me".I was going to say "What the fuck..?" but my better judgment stopped me from saying anymore.I was definitely lucky that day.It made me think.What did I do to deserve something like that?Did I go and save the Olsen twins from getting stalked by the paparazzi?Hell no!Did I help an old lady cross the road?Not in this lifetime.Then,I remembered that I had put in some money in a charity box at the mosque a few days back.I guess that was the reward from God for being sincere in doing charity.

So,dear readers,the moral of the story,if you want to do something,you do it with sincerity.If not you definitely won't get back what you have given.So,kids,please donate sincerely.It won't cause you no harm if you donate.God loves His servants to do good things.

This is definitely not me.Why in the blue hell am I writing something like this?Crap!

Looking good and glamorous

Wow.If there's a word to describe last night,that would be the word that I would use to describe last night.There are other words to describe it but I prefer this word.Hey,it's my blog so I get to pick the words.

It was the Accounting Night.It's the equivalent of a farewell-cum-prom party for final year students and also as a place for people to show off their fashion styles and look good doing it.It's also a night where people get to eat expensive food and never feel guilty about it.It's also a night where people fork out money to look good.It was all worth it,I guess.I didn't fork out much but I think it was worth every cent that I forked out.I thought proms were supposed to be where teenagers with raging hormones score with their partners but I was disappointed.I've been fooled by the American dream.Does the American dream even exist?


Ok.Back to describing the whole thing.We came in late and the whole thing had already started.I had to dress up so that I can look good and elegant and pretty.Did I say pretty?So there I am,looking in the mirror and hulking up for the big night.

So, we all arrived there and ate the food.Damn.That fish had a lot of bones.It brings me back horrific memories of the time I choked on a fish bone.Now,I'm scared of eating fishes with a lotta bones.Everything else was ok,I guess.The real stars were the people there.All of them looking like Ken and Barbie attending a G.I. Joe convention centre.There were a lot of pretty boys and girls wearing pretty gowns and suits and whatever.Like I said,they look like Ken and Barbie.There was even this one girl who wore something like a wedding gown.Something that little girls would dress up Barbie with.I'm using the word "Barbie" a tad too much.I'm pretty sure that name is trademarked now.

Anyways,it was fun while it lasted.I think the real fun started when the whole thing ended.It all started when they opened the dance floor for people to dance and jump around.The downside of this whole thing was the dance floor was frickin' small.How do you expect people to show off their moves on the pitiful dance floor?Plus,it was hot and I was starting to sweat like hell there.But it was definitely cool to rub ass with ass.I dunno.Maybe I rubbed my ass with a guy's ass.Good God!Please tell me that I rubbed ass with a girl and not a guy.I do so hope that I did not rub my ass with a guy's ass.

So,after the whole thingy ended,people were busy taking pictures of themselves and with everybody else.Heck,I took pictures with people that I never thought I would take pictures with.Here are some of the beautiful people that I had the chance to take pictures with.When I say beautiful people,I meant the guys also.You guys look pretty,too.Especially Alip,Ameen,Azzeri,Butt and Fareez.Don't they loook pretty?
Praying for a miracle, maybe?

I pretty much borrowed partners last night.Hey,can anyone say "Player"?I can.hahaha..I'm definitely going to be banged by Ameen, Alip,Azzeri and Butt.



These were the people at table 27.Heck,2 of them bagged the lucky draw prizes.Azzeri,I want one of those things in your hamper.Oh wait,I already got some .


The guys looking all dashing and handsome.Oh crap.I can see my pot belly in this picture!


Don't they all look pretty and beautiful?

And so ends the night.It was a night that won't be forgotten for awhile.Ok,maybe I will forget about this thing in a few days but it was definitely something to remember.Especially that time when.....ah,that's a story for another day.
