Let me blow off the web dust on my blog!
Okay done.
Hi everyone! I'm not sure if anyone still read this blog, but heck! i shall still post this entry.
First of all, its been a fruitful past months that i went 'missing'. I was rather busy working with Inland Revenue of Singapore (IRAS) as a tax officer, Enforcement Division. What i did basically was picking up calls from taxpayers who has overdue taxes or filing. I would say it was rather nerve-wrecking at the start and as someone who doesn't spend much time talking on the phone, i felt a little restless now and then with the earpiece covered my ears. Worked there for about 3 months before I decided to leave the job to prepare myself to go back school!
YES... SCHOOL.
After 2 years in army, i would say it is a little weird yet something to look forward to. I suspect my brain is filled with dust and rust right now, and in need of serious clean-up. Oh.. regarding school, after 3 years of trying out for the local uni of NTU NUS and SMU, sadly for me, i did not make the cut to study in any of them. It was a real heart-breaker. REALLY. I did not cry over it though, but enough to make me to frame up the rejection letter and use that as a motivational piece. I wondered and pondered for few days after receiving the letter, where did i go wrong in choosing the courses and the appeals, but eventually i had to swallow the sour truth. The fact that i did not do well for my A Levels. Even with BCDC kind of grades did not make the cut, i have to admit, Singapore educational standards has risen up so quickly when actually with this same grades few years back, it can at least get me into a decent course.
Anyway, i knew i cannot just stop here. An alternative education route is just what i need. And so.. after weeks of serious consideration, listing out the best other possibilities and opportunities for my life, i finally made my decision. I chose to study in SIM Global Education - University of London taking up BSc (Hons) Accounting & Finance. So here i am right now, waiting for school to start on 23rd Aug.
I would say it was not that hard in choosing the degree programme that i want. I knew i'm interested in, other than sports, it will be business and finance. I wanted a certain specialization either on banking, economics or accounting. And accounting was the one of the brighter prospects from the research i've made. So yes that's about it. I've made my decision.
Okay im really tired right now. I shall hit the bed right away.
I will continue soon okay. hopefully REAL soon. :)
P.S: Anyone in need of tuition? i hope i can start some tuition classes soon!

I shall dedicate this entry to the popular comedian, TV and radio personality Din Beramboi, or his real name, Mior Ahmad Fuad Mior Badri who passsed away recently due to Dengue Shock Syndrome.
It was a huge loss to the Malaysian entertainment industry. His death came as a shock to me because i have just started watching his latest show 'Spontan' in Astro Warna, or the malay equivalent of 'Who's line is it anyway?, and it has been my routine to watch it every night on youtube before going to sleep. I have always enjoyed watching his show, and his acting and funny antics on TV had never failed to make me laugh.
Salam takziah kepada keluarga Din.
Semoga rohnya dicucuri rahmat dan ditempatkan dikalangan orang-orang yang beriman.
Amin.

Post ORD
I've decided to blog since i just woke up and i can't sleep right now. Thought of sleeping early at 10.30pm but somehow the body decides to be active again at 2am. Weird.
Anyways, 3 full months has already past since i've last blogged! And i've realized many things had happened which i have yet to talk about it.
First things first, i have ORD!
Well.. at least a month ago actually.
So, like what usually 'Men' do after they got their Pink IC and much-awaited freedom from National Service, I've decided to take a break and enjoy every simple life's pleasure for now. At a start, i felt a little strange waking up in the morning, after subuh prayers, and i was asking myself "hmm.. what should i do next?" I was thinking maybe, should i go for a run? or should i go for my breakfast first? Wait.. are there breakfast ready for me in the first place? As much as Singaporean guys dislike/hate National Service, i have to admit i miss those physical trainings and the well planned-out meals, though it didn't went along well with my taste buds but i finished it anyway. It is the right amount of nutritional values and exercise regimes which made me grew up to a healthy 63kg guy, packed with a decent amount of muscle, well, at least if im compared to my old self back in JC. Im saying this, not because i wanted to go back army, but it is the discipline that has been instilled, is now diminishing fast upon the 'Operationally Ready Date'. Yeah.. so much so as being labelled operationally ready. Instead, S'porean guys are supposed to be afraid of being called upon anytime for war and fight for the country. Just a little reminder, the next time you exclaim "ORD OH!", be wary because it has also a hidden meaning of " 'Obviously Ready to Die' OH!"
haha. Don't tell i didn't warn you.
Finally got my LTA rank on the last day as an NSF. haha. so slow.
I've been bugged (in a good way) by a number of "is that you on TV" questions or equivalent lately. So let me clear the doubts, YES THAT'S ME. :)
Up to date in this year's itself, i've been in one of the episodes of a suria info-ed series (Testimoni on Hyrul Anuar) and a family gameshow (Hooray Hooray last episode), which is coming out tonight! I won't say im proud of this so-called breakthrough into the entertainment industry, but i won't say im hating it either. Let's just like say, im just trying out every opportunities and gaining new experience. Like in the case of Testimoni, it was just a post-ORD instinct. I was yet to get a job, so when the audition came about, i decided to give it a go. Never thought of getting role because it took me few weeks before i was called up. Even that i rejected it initially because of the role that i was supposed to bring across. For the benefit of those who didn't get to watch the episode, i acted as a cyber buaya looking for victims to fulfill sexual desires. I felt it was challenging for me, especially on an acting debut! Luckily it wasn't that bad afterall. In fact, i've enjoyed the experience. Making new friends with the casts, crew and the people behind the scene. And even if this going to be my only acting opportunity in life, im glad that at least i got to experience it. So again, do catch me tonight @ Suria 8.30pm!
The casts and crews of Testimoni.
The other two main casts i've worked together, Erny and Faizal.
The assistant producer, Iqah. Coincidentally both of us wore green on the last day of shoot. haha nice.
And after more than a month now, im sure you are asking me what i am doing currently, well basically im on a mission of doing odd jobs. An accidental one that is. I've wanted a temporary job which last me till end of July but i've yet to get one! Maybe because of my commitment on weekends that is. I kept getting 6-days/week job which i try to avoid because i need the weekends for soccer and family, really. Oh ya, forgot to mention. I'm currently playing in the National Football League (NFL) Division 2 with Borussia Zamrud FC, besides Team Orange under Equatorial Football League (EFL). So yeah, i would prefer to commit myself to a 5-days work week and the two teams, instead of the 6-days work week and didnt get to play soccer at all, since that one day-off might not be necessarily be on weekends. I've did some acting and calefares (Suria's Dikir Putri and Cinta Ixora too), and did some chocolate factory work alongside with the China workers (i've been pushed around by them in my own country. tak boleh accept sey! haha kidding. but really), and also part-time waitering with Grand Hyatt Hotel. So yeah.. that's basically about it. Odd jobs aren't that bad too. It gave me to experience the different kind of industries, the expectations and job scopes. It is not easy afterall in the working world. The important thing is, how much and how fast you can adapt to the environment as quickly as possible. :)
Okay, i'll stop here. I shall reserve my in-depth opinion on that once i got a temporary job. Haha. Goodnight people.
