19th year of being alive (and no-life :p)
Well, this post was supposed to be made on the 27th actually but as usual; iProcastinate. First of all, Happy Deepavali people! Sorry that i didnt get to wish anyone via sms as my credit was running out. Internet was just as slow as usual (even the router got itself hacked on the 27th mysteriously. Thus, none of us can even connect to the net the whole afternoon). So, in any case, Happy belated Deepavali to all indians in the world!! (yes, Adam, that includes you too)
Wait.. there was something on that very day as well.. It comes in only once a year... Hmm... and it smells.. it kinda stinks, in fact... uh.. well... it smells like... like...
PEOPLE ROTTING!!!
Yeah, it's me. I'm rotting. 27th October 2008 was my birthday and i turned 19 this year **pops party poppers) but nah, i'm starting to grow older now. No more sweet eighteen. One more year to the 20 years-old zone... Bleh... Shouldnt i be settling down at least with one girlfriend by the age of 18? Well, i got the proposal to be engaged (or engage?) with this one Kelantanese girl one time ago (story of my life... sigh) but i turned it down... Maybe i should have gotten myself a fiancee.. well, at least there's a permanent and reliable promise of not being single in my entire life afterwards.. and i can brag to people by acting lovey dovey with my fiancee if i have one... Hmmm... or is it way too early? Cant decide... maybe i should at least get laid.. Or lay... whatever the grammatical context is.. Or is that supposed to be on your 21st? Hmmmm...
In any case, Happy 19th Birthday, adnin!!! Yep, cant thank you enough for all those msgs you ppl sent me (that is, if you even did send anything) and yep, all the verbal, physical and belated wishes too! (SIDE NOTE: Preena, what do you mean i'm turning 19 and growing sexy?? I mean, "all grown up and sexy"?? What?? NOW SEXY?? I was 18 and i was sexy that time! I was 17 and i was sexy that time! I was 16 and i was friggin' sexy that time! What do you mean now only i'm getting sexy!? It's "sexier" not "sexy", my dear!! D8... ahem). Either ways, if you're wondering how my birthday was, nah, it's just a normal day for me. Maggi for lunch and a slightly more expensive dinner =) Thats good enough for me. It wasnt quite any birthday outing but yep, it was fun. Thanks to Adam, Daryl, Nathaniel and MunTing for suggesting Kg Baru and accompanying me for dinner that time :) Regardless to that, i'm not the kind of guy who expects much (or almost anything) for my birthday but, hehe, wishes and outings still make my day anytime so yeah, THANKS GUYS!! 143 ppl!!! XD
p/s: Yeah, thanks to Nathaniel for stealing my life away on my 19th birthday! Shen-Ann, if you're reading this; i got a Magic the Gathering deck of cards for my birthday! Hehe... You said, you hate chinese guys that go no life playing cards right? Well, i'm not chinese so its okay for me, right right? Wakaka :p

"Madness"? This.. is.. OKTOBAAA!!!
I dunno why but it seems like things are really piling up nicely in my october schedule and when i mean nicely back there, i meant 'nicely'... well, not really that 'nicely'- you can minus the apostrophe, i think. After all, things that has been nicely piling up arent all that bad. Some of them are nice so yeah, maybe a i should go with; things are really piling up nicely and not so nicely in my october schedule.. as in, there are things that piling up that are nice and there are things, however, are not so nice piling up in my october schedule. Its not about whether are they nicely piling up or otherwise. The highlights is on the things that are piling up, not on how nicely things are piling up... in any case, the last statement about things piling nicely and not so nicely still sounds wrong though.. Well, maybe what i'm trying to say is that nice and not so nice things are piling nicely in my october schedule and when i meant nicely here, i meant it as the busy, busy, busy kind of 'nicely'... well... yeah...
Aaaaaanyways, lets go over the un-nice pile. First things up shall be the final exam. So yeah, me need to study but me is so lazy to do so. Bleh.. I mean, i do study but often that i ended up studying in a very slow pace. And just recently (technically, this morn), karma hit me back on the head with such a dissapointing L&L test result. I mean, a friggin 12 and a half out of 20 marks!? I know i studied in a very lazy kind of way but hell, 12 and a half is a lil too low for someone who actually studied. Research has it that one of the phases once an individual got a smack of catastrophe on her/his face is the phase in which the particular individual will look all around to find an excuse for her/his mistakes, only to rid the excuse originating from the individual himself. Well, in this case, Ad (yes, me), dont blame the paper, neither anyone else- put the blame on you and your lazy lazy ways. Start studying! Benkyoo! Benkyoo!... Bleh..
Second things up, money matters. I mean, matters concerning my financial management. I found out lately that my expenses has been increasing tremendously and the balance between the leisures and the necessities has slightly tilted to the "leisures" side. First up, i still owe rm100 for my annual dinner fee. But then, i havent got anything to wear for my annual dinner. My budget for my annual dinner wear is around rm100 but yeah, where in the name of Kolumpe (Kuala Lumpur in indian slang) can you find a full set of outfit with just that much of money? So, this evening i tried out this white long sleeve shirt which i never wore before. It looked spanking new so a little tweaking might do a lil fashion twist.... that's what I thought. SERIOUSLY!! White shirt and annual dinner and people might actually mistake you as a waiter.. Bah... Originally, my idea was to wear an indian suit to the dinner but Adam had that plan all along and he executed it first. I dont want to appear like Adam's gay partner during the annual dinner... Maybe i should just find an indian suit with a contrasting color. Adam's indian suit's white.. So maybe i should find a black one instead.. Hmmm.... GAH!! I still havent finished paying my annual dinner fee and i'm ardy thinking of spending for the dinner wear??! And what's more, moi want-to-buy-list is getting piled up 'nicely' as well. There's a digital camera there, a micro memory card, new t-shirts and pants (mine are all getting spoiled over overusage), wooden sketching puppet-model thingy etc. etc.... sigh... I need to start begging for money in Pasar Seni i guess...
...Now that i talked on the bad stuff first, i'm not feeling the mood to talk on the nicer stuff... sigh.. oh well, there's an Old Town White Coffee outlet just opened a few months back in Bangsar South (a lil walk past the university station and there you have it). It's pretty near and yep, the coffee's there are all worth it. I mean, first of all, you dont have to pay anything to go there (provided if you're a lazy bum and you dont feel like walking there). Aside to that, Gloria Jean's Coffee is back with her promotion!! Whoo!! it's the ol' buy 1 free 1 promotion for any types of coffee!! Sob.. and here i thought that Gloria has all forgotten about me but she actually brought back the promotion for me... Sob.. what more can i ask for a birthday gift, Gloria? sniff... i so FRIGGIN LOVETH THEE!!!! XD lololololz... One of these day, Gloria, we shall meet for this toungue has made pact with destiny that a crusade to your noble outlet in MidValley shall be undeniably planned and lavishly executed... all under the love of you and your sweet sweet coffee, my love o' Gloria... This, i promise thou!!
...um anyways, the water in the kettle's boiling.. time to eat supper. Jaa for now (totally a lazy way of ending a blog post brought to you by Dark Delaqroux)

7 1/2 days crave for KFC
The Indian legend (well, maybe not really a legend but more of a saying) has it that the concept of Karma in life works in close relation with the number 7 1/2. In other words; a specific continuous state of luck, bad luck, happiness, sadness, sorrow etc. will last only for 7 and a half days, months or years before the current state take a total opposite turn whereby the individual will obtain a new state or point in where it is worth of the period of 7 and a half and also the opposite of it (Indian Taxi Driver, 2008)
In any ways, if this theory is to be put parallel with a real-life context example, then i would say that the karma incident in which involving the craving of both me and Adam for Kentucky Fried Chicken can be a good example. As a matter of fact, both of us were craving for KFC for quite some time but were never able to get any. It all started out with the night in which both of us were studying for our MS test, specifically at 12.00am. For some strange and unknown reason, some group of people of a different dorm started frying chicken in their dormitory house and if i am to use any adjective to describe that particular smell right now in this blog, no word can do justice on how aromatic the smell of hot, fried chicken in cooking oil by that time. That is when we vowed to have KFC the very next day no matter what it takes. Also at the same time, i finally understand what it meant by "craving". I wanted KFC. I MUST have KFC.
However, things didnt go well the next day. We found ourselves busy on the next day (DAY ONE). There were no free time for us to go for KFC for lunch as something dragged on all the way till the evening. We didnt get to go for KFC for dinner as well. Adam settled for cafe food and I got myself involved in Farouk's birthday dinner. It was of course, way better than KFC for dinner but i still WANT KFC. The day after (DAY TWO) was a busy one as well as we had to study for our LNL test. So both of us just settled for cafe food again (That made it twice for Adam). After the test on the next day (DAY THREE) however, Bee Fei asked me to join her in settling our passports issues right after class and although the plan changed by the last minute, we got caught we something else during dinner. On the following day (DAY FOUR), the plan to settle all the passprt issue went along as planned. I guess the settling of my passport issue doesnt take that long but i ended up spending more of the time accompanying Bee Fei as she settled for hers. I do find her company enjoyable and thus, i ended up finishing almost half of the afternoon with her in Pusat Bandar Damansara. By the time i reached back, i fell asleep and Adam, joined my nap... only to wake up at 9pm later and that consequently means, "NO KFC FOR DINNER". After class on the next day (DAY FIVE) we were occupied with meetings and classes for the afternoon. Somehow, we agreed to follow Revathy and Preena to KL Central for some Deepavali outfit hunt. The original plan was that we were to look around in the bazaar all the way till the evening and we are to settle for KFC for dinner afterwards. Regardless, it turned out that Sharalan Menon, Preena's bf, joined us and for some strange twist, we ended up having dinner in an Indian shop instead. On the next day (DAY SIX), it was rainy all day long. It started out drizzling in the afternoon so we planned to have KFC for dinner instead. As another twist of fate, the rain lasted all the way till the night and both of us were grounded with no KFC whatsoever. As the next day followed (DAY SEVEN) we saw everything coming. Classes ended up a lil too late for a KFC lunch and we promised to accompany Shen-Ann and Wee Kiat for dinner in Kg Baru. The dinner of Chicken Goldon Bleu was obviously fantastic but there were no KFC for that day.
Finally, on the next day (DAY SEVEN), we planned to join a few girls for an outing to KLCC. THey were planning to eat Burger King's breakfast set but we remembered that in KLCC, a KFC outlet is situated right opposite of Burger King and so, the plan to eat KFC on that day was set. However, we overslept and the girls had already left... but we went way too far to turn back now, we woke up (eventhough we overslept) way too early to go back to sleep. Inspired by the theme song of the Extreme Ghostbuster show, we went straight to KFC in Pasar Seni and yes, we had our KFC there with no obstacles whatsoever. We were among the outlet's earliest customer that morning so all the chickens are freshly fried and juicy. The whole place was empty so we get to choose any seat that we want and of course, we got ourselves the best one on the second floor of the outlet where there were absolutely no one there at all. So there we were, with the perfect seating, the perfect corner, the perfect view (we sat by the window overlooking the Pasar Seni street), the perfect environment and most importantly, THE FRIGGIN' PERFECT KFC MEAL!!!11oneone XD It was heavenly! I had two big piece of Hot and Spicy chicken, a glass of 7up Revive, A whole set of Cheesy BBQ Meltz and some Cheezy Wedges... It was beyond heavenly. We took two hours finishing up our food itself. God, it was indeed far surpassing heavenly... We did what we are meant for on that very moment; just to satisfy our demand for a heavenly KFC meal at last.
THE END

Codename: FELICIA
Here i go again; dissapearing for ages without any post whatsoever and suddenly reappearing in my blog out of the blue once again and then with a lil "poof", another random update is made and up for display.. For those who kept on checking and rechecking back for any new posts, i seriously salute you guys and seriously, thanks a hell lot for you continuous support. Really appreciate it! Its all because of readers like you is why i kept returning to update this little humble blog of mine. Once again, i thank you all. Aaaaand to pay for your continuous support; here i present you another update of Delaqroux Inc Dreams Updates!!
I dreamt this one a few weeks back and damn, i didnt even feel refreshed when i woke up from my sleep that day. So it began like this; One day, in a little (almost) homely place i call IPBA's dormitory, Adam and Daryl received a phone call and i soon find out that they would be getting a special visitor that very afternoon from New Zealand... or should i say; Auckland to be exact. Guess who?
(for some strange twist of randomness) It turned out to be Felicia Peh.. ahem.. maybe i should say this with a bit more dramatic effect as she supposed to be the highlight of my dream that night... Okay, so uh... GUESS WHAT!!!11 It turned out to be.... FELICIA PEH!!!11 OMGWTF!!!??? w00tness!!! Hell, yeah! It was Felicia Peh, making her first entry in my lala land since... well... she never appeared in my dream before so yeah, "what the heck? why felicia of all sudden?" is right. So she came and stopped by our dorm. (Note that this is my dreamland we're talking about. So, yeah, Felicia can go up all the way to our dorm in Level 4, Block 1 and if the mental image of the warden never pop up in my head by that time, the warden will never make any appearnace in my dream... kinda wish real life's as simple as that, no?)
So, me, not really that close with Felicia (just know her by the name and how she looks like- never really had any conversation with her as far as i can remember) just went like, "Hello, Felicia. How're you doing?" and she went like, "Good. You?" and i went like "lolz. Cool. Doin good" **END CONVERSATION** Adnin goes back on his top bunk and play with his PSP while Felicia sits and have really really long talk with Adam and Daryl. For some reason, they were talking in some weird jargon in which i know nothing of so i dont know what they're talking about. Ended up, i fell asleep on my bed (Cool eh? Your sub-concious you sleeping in your own sub-concious sleeping mind)
Later, i woke up and noticed that the room was quiet. There were no more talkings and laughters- just plain dead silence. So, i got up and look around. Adam and Daryl were no longer in the room. Probably they went out or something, i thought. But guess who is still here. Yeah, for some reason, Felicia is still sitting by some corner in the room looking straight at me... (Before you start imagine some Korean-ish love scene or something, do stop.. my dream will never be normal as that). So she smiled. I smiled back. (awkwaaaaard.....) Before i can think of anything to say, Felicia broke the awkward silence with a question, "can i see your wallet?". Well, of all things to start a conversation with, why my wallet? In a state of blurriness, i got down from my bed and handed my wallet to her. She took it and opened it up. I looked away, pretending to be more interested in checking my handphones when my actual attention was on her, as she took out all my personal cards (Identification Card, ATM Card etc.). She seemed to be totally in her own world... or so i seem..
Anyways, she noticed that i was staring at her and she looked back at me, straight up to my eye... and grinned. Okay, it might seem funny to you but i was starting to get freaked out. I noticed that she was holding my MacQuarie student card (NOTE: I lost my MacQuarie University Student Card a few weeks back.. if you happen to find it, do return it back to me, please... DX). She continued her freaky grinning and broke another session of silence. "Wanna see my student card?" she asked. THinking that all of Felicia's facebook pics of her looking like an insane lady might not be her acting it out after all, i just decided in a split second to just play along with her. So, i replied back with a "can oso. If you dont mind". She continued grinning (dunno whether it was just me or she really looking more freakier by that time) and tossed me her wallet. I took it out and hesitantly, take a look at her Auckland Student card.
So it said; Felicia Peh, some random address that i cant recall, Malaysia, B.Ed (TESL) IPBA, Qualification: Assassin...
Wait.. wha-what?? ASSASSIN???!! I looked back at her and before i could ask what was that about, i saw that Felicia was pointing a gun at me! HOLY @#$%!! She started shooting at me over and over but i was managed to avoid her shots. I dashed towards the door only to find out that it was locked! (pfft.. typical thriller movie effect) I started banging on the door and calling out any names i can remember. But before i get any replies, i can hear Felicia's soft cold breathing just behind my neck. I grabbed a chair nearby and swung it in a 180 degrees spin. I didnt manage to hit anything, she managed to dodge it like some kind of a pro. I swung it again. Miss. Swing again. Felicia grabbed it clean out of my hand, throw it to the side and took out a small shaving blade (the Gillette Slick blade-ish) with some kind of a clean magic trick. She started slashing the blade, aiming for my throat. She was in some ninja-ish light speed movement. The blade did sliced my throat but not enough to make my neck my bleed. I may seem lucky but i know i wasnt, she's toying around with me. She let out this freaky insane lady laugh and charged towards me, this time, i'm sure to kill me for real. Seriously, WTF?? The next thing i can remember, my right hand is bleeding from grabbing the blade with her still holding fast to it, and my left hand is pinned to the wall with her heels. Damn, both were just as painful. Still remembering some self defense moves, i headbutted Felicia on the forehead with mine..It didnt work at all. Her head flinched to the back abit but she was still grinning away, with eyes as evil as you can imagine. She made the same move back to me. Yeah, it worked for her. And not only that, she start slamming her head over mine over and over. I never prepared for that and the last thing i can remember is that my vision start getting blurry and i faded. Finally, the next thing i can remember is that there is this writing fading in on the screen with red paint saying, "Acta Est Fabula" (It's a Game Over screen for the game "Haunting Grounds".. maybe it meant exactly, game over for me this time)
**DREAM ENDS**
So yeah, Felicia, if you're reading this... well... uh... this is all just fragments of my sub-conscious imaginations right? Heheh... I mean, there's no such thing as your university hiring you to be Assassins or anything like that obviously right? haha..ha... ^^"

Hybrid Rainbow (The Pillows)
HYBRID RAINBOW - by The Pillows
This song was made into one of the soundtracks of the 6-Episode-Anime FLCL which touches upon the story of a boy, Naota in his search to find a place of acceptance to call his own among the people around him. The translation of the song was even more emotional that what i have expected but nevertheless, it is a great song =)
hotondo shizunderu mitai na mujintou
chikyuugi ni nottenai namae mo nai
kinou wa chikaku made kibou no fune ga kita kedo
bokura wo mukae ni kitan ja nai
A deserted island which seems to have mostly sunk
Not found on any globe, not even named
Yesterday the ship we hoped for came close but
It didn'ft even come to meet us.
taiyou ni mitorete sukoshi kogeta
PURIZUMU wo hasande te wo futta kedo
We got a little scorched staring longingly into the sun
Holding a prism up, I waved my hand but
Can you feel that hybrid rainbow?
kinou made erabarenakatta bokura demo
ashita wo matteru
Can you feel?
Can you feel that hybrid rainbow?
Even we, who weren't chosen up till yesterday
Are waiting for tomorrow
jimen wo suresure ni ukanderu
Our mostly deflated zeppelin is
Skimming just barely over the ground
yobikata mo tomadou iro no sugata
toritachi ni yousha naku tsutsukareru darou
The look of the colors which defy description
Will probably be mercilessly pecked at by the birds
Can you feel that hybrid rainbow?
kitto mada
genkai nante konna mon ja nai
konnan ja nai
Can you feel?
Can you feel that hybrid rainbow?
Surely not yet
The limit can't be like this at all
Not like this at all
Can you feel that hybrid rainbow?
koko wa tochuu nanda tte shinjitai
I can feel
I can feel that hybrid rainbow
kinou made erabarenakatta bokura demo
ashita wo motteru
Can you feel?
Can you feel that hybrid rainbow?
I wanna believe that here is only partway through
I can feel
I can feel that hybrid rainbow
Even we, who weren't chosen up till yesterday
Are holding onto tomorrow

Dark Delaqroux Flashbaxx
For some reason, my lil sis start scavenging over mom's collection of albums and I, supposedly to be babysitting my lil sis, joined in the fun (hey, i was bored. what other stuff am i supposed to do?). So there were really really old photos of my family, my relatives (i think) and people i dont even able to recall (probably coz i havent even exist in this world yet :p). However, something made me go to a halt..
and yeah, remember me saying that i was a lil (well, quite, actually) fat in my younger secondary school days? Well, here's one of the picture that proves it. Btw, the baby inside it was my little six (i dont think she's even a year old yet). Shot was taken when i was in Form 3 if i'm not mistaken.

Adnin & Abu: Escape from Negeri Sembilan
You know what's best about Hari Raya? Well, to me, it's freedom. LOLOLOLOLOLZ
So my first day of raya started out with hell. I was depressed a few days earlier thanks to some Raya's "must d0-s" and one of them is going back to Negeri Sembilan to my dad's side kampung. I never liked the place and yeah, perhaps everyone there. So everytime i start thinking of Raya, i will be conditioned with going back to Negeri Sembilan and the unconditioned response will be the sense of despair and depression. That it is true. I hate going back there for Raya. I hate meeting the ppl there. It's in the blood. Blame God and Skinner for that.
In any case, much to my agony, i will have to go back to Negeri Sembilan this time around as well and thinking that my last raya with my family before i fly to Australia for two whole years is going to be spent in that joint; i feel more depressed than ever. Well, they say misery attracts company and for my case, it attracts a sidekick..
During the early morn of raya, i remembered this fellow cousins of mine who, like me and different than everybody else, hated going to that place as well. His name is Abu and his bro's.. uh.. i never really know the brother's name. I just refer him as "Abang Boy" (dont ask) and both of the brotherhood never liked the people back at our kampung in Negeri Sembilan and they, like my case, always feel reluctant to go back there for any visits. In fact, there is this one time when Abang Boy have to go back to that place and he ended up arriving to that place, do all the formalities (salam, greet everyone yada yada yada) and then, sleep for 8 hours straight until its time for him to go back to Shah Alam. That's pure hardcore-ness!! So, back to the present, mayhaps i may meet with Abu and thus, things might not get so bad when you have a companion to be emo and pissed about the same thing.
So, thus i went back. Sure enough, Abu was there and he, somehow seemed glad to see us there (well, no suprise there). Before long, i just end up spending the time with him and ignoring everybody else (SEMANGAT ASABIYAH UNITEZZ!!! LOLZ). But before long, we cooked up a plan to evac from the place. First thing first, he had his tranporter guy all along who doesnt like staying long in that place, Abang Boy. Thus, by demand, he can be transported back to Shah Alam in no time at all. So, the mission now is to get myself some excuse so that i can stash myself aboard Abang Boy's vehicle and be transported back to Shah Alam so that i can make my way back to Selayang. Hmmm... **Mission Impossible theme song at the back** So this is what i did.
Firstly, i grabbed my phone and start setting an alarm to ring 10 minutes later, exactly the time when Abu will get aboard his transport to evacuate from Negeri Sembilan to Shah Alam. 10 minutes later, the alarm set off and i picked up the phone. Yeah, i know it was an alarm, Abu knew it was an alarm but everybody else thought it was a phone call. So i pretended to answer the 'call'. It was 'an IPBA lecturer' on the 'other side of the line'. So what brings a lecturer to call me on this fine evening of Raya? Hmmm.. well, it seems that the 'lecturer' 'told' me that 'my assignment' has 'alot of mistakes' in 'it'. Oh, great goshen!! What am i supposed to do??
Exactly at that point, Abu will ask me what went wrong as i was starting to look 'depressed', exactly as how we devised beforehand. I will tell him that i need to go back to college as soon as i can. The original plan was for me (actually us) to stay there for another night but people understood how 'depressed' i was with the assignment so they called off the plan of asking us to stay there for another more day. Yes! The permit of evacuation has been granted. Now, to escape. 'Coincidentally', Abu and Abang Boy was about to leave the place to Shah Alam, and Shah Alam is closest with my college. Hence, Abang Boy asked if i wanted a ride. lolz. Obviously. I agreed and soon, i found myself on the ark of evacuation. So long Negeri Sembilan... Oh yeah, so my sisters and my mom? Well, somehow, before the whole execution of the plan, i agreed with them to accompany me back so they too, have the permit to leave the place as well. Even better...
And thus, MISSION ACCOMPLISHED
We're home free... MWAHAHAHAHAHAHHAA!!! BWAHAHAHAHAA!!!
