There was once a time, someone told me 'Hey you gotta sit down and think about your future'. At that point of time, me being the standard student who doesn't want to even think about such thing back then just shrugged it off, thinking that, hey, I don't need to do this now. Though now, the circumstances is different, I felt obligated to explore on why I acted that way in the past. Did I felt a sense of security being in school, making myself incapacitated from making decisions about my life? I've came to realise that some people prefers being in school and prolongs their stay in school for so long cause they are accustom to studying and not being able to break free from it. Though just a piece of advice from an insignificant fool, enjoy your school life but it's just a phase of life that you have to stand up and move away from soon enough. Never lose sight of the objective of going to school. Cause pathetically speaking, from where I'm seeing, some people are already losing it. Life is always about a struggle, its how you find peace through all of it that makes it liveable. arfandi used up his time at 11:27 AM

Oh this post is belated for almost three days, to everyone who has visited my site and expecting a Selamat Hari Raya post, I'm sorry that you've been disappointed. Even so, I still would like to wish every muslim ( I REFRAIN from saying malay muslim already ) in Singapore and well the whole world as well Selamat Hari Raya, Maaf Zahir dan Batin. Ok it means uhh, you know what selamat hari raya is, maaf zahir dan batin means to forgive anything that I've done be it externally or internally. Uhh, direct translation. You guys play around with it then. Though its normal to take pictures on the morning of Raya, but it seems it has slipped my family and mine's mind to actually took one. So no pictures as of yet. Period. Though certainly what is my feeling of the raya this year. It felt the same, as any other year. That just goes to show that I'm getting too old already to be expecting green packets anymore. There is this issue though that have been plaguing my inner conscience. This practice of kids, in mobs, yes in mobs, visiting homes of people that they know nuts about. Sure definitely in this festive season we're allowed to be fesitve-y and the likes of that, but it does need to be done with a certain principle. Firstly, thou shalt not visit homes that you know not off, in the thought of getting green packet. Its a disgrace and embarassment. Secondly, thou shalt not kick other people's plant vases which are placed oh so nicely outside the house just because the host doesn't want to let you it. Last but not least, thou shalt not EVEN think of coming in mobs, cause the bigger the mobs, the most likely the host wouldn't even dare open the front door. So kids out there, yes we're living in the 21st century, but it doesn't mean that our pride and courtesy shall fade with the changing times. Please visit the people that you wish to ask for forgiveness, not to expect the green packets which you will intend save up and buy things that you will regret after that anyway. arfandi used up his time at 4:49 PM

For those people who knows me, will know I love to make morning rants. Ok maybe just one person which is Sazali, cause only he's the only one crazy enough to come by in the morning to see me in my disgraceful form. Though it got me thinking, when was I ever graceful? I feel that alot of people find it great to whine and gripe about their life with me. Seriously, I don't mind. Just that sometimes, I came to realise that its just not gonna be possible for me to expect the same thing from them if I needed that moment. Usually I'll say they're being ungrateful or 'kacang lupakan kulit', but I settled on the fact that they are not even able to do it. Makes sense right? If they needed to confide to someone to gripe or whine, it means they have difficulty in handling the problem personally. Therefore, they feel the need to tell someone. Due to this fact, what's the point in confiding to them when they themself can't even handle they're own problems? Ok fine, attempt of trying to screw myself mentally didn't work. I HATE to whine. When I do whine, it means I'm really troubled by it. Will anyone mind opening their heart to hear me whine sometimes? I don't even have the guts to whine to my girlfriend. arfandi used up his time at 8:58 PM

Just in case you're wondering as to what hit my head to write a short story in MALAY language, don't be alarmed cause its just a dare between me and someone to write SOMETHING in malay. So I was dared to write a short story which I've NEVER wrote before. So I'd really like to apologise to the english readers. If I have the extra energy, I might translate everything into english. Though for those malay readers, hope you guys enjoy the short story. Haha. arfandi used up his time at 9:50 PM

I was reading this article on the newspaper. It was regarding the muslim population in the US state, where a more pious faction of the Islamic community complained that an establishment which initially served them privacy has opted to allow a co-ed environment. This means that, the establishment are initially women only on certain days, but is changed to allow men as well. Ok fine, so what is the whole issue here? The article continues on saying the so called establishment, which is a gym for your information has created a wall to allow more privacy for women from the prying eyes of men exercising as well. Mixed opinions sprouted from there such as bloggers saying the gym has 'caved' in to the 'extremists' as they so nicely phrased and from another saying private businesses should not be 'coerced' by a minority. There, that is the thing that is bothering me. Firstly, just because someone requested for privacy which was promised to them, when they first visited the gym as it being a women only on certain days and successfully got it, the whole gym has caved into the demands of 'extremists' as they so thoughtfully labelled them as. I believe the word extremists is a very harsh word to use for people who just wished to be religious but what irks me is that they have been betrayed the privacy that they sought after by going to the women only on some day gym. Though, I believe that people will say just go to another gym then, then I believe that these 'extremists' are being thoughtful to at least try to request for a wall rather than leave the gym, incurring loss to the gym. I mean come on, you thought that place was THE place where you can get your privacy, but it changed its policy. You being thoughtful just requested there being a wall to give a tad of privacy. Due to these such actions, people concludes that the gym has CAVED into the EXTREMIST. Secondly, what is with everyone saying they're the minority, we shouldn't be forced or threaten by them, such the exact definiton of COERCED. I can't believe these kind of mentality still exists in the modern world. Ok fine, its evident but ideally they are a disgraceful way of thinking. What happen to everyone living together happily by compromising to each other's need? This is just my two cents worth of opinion on the whole issue. Source: TODAY, October 9, 2006.

Just finished this picture of Marfuah. Why I'm doing it? Urmz, I think I promised her like months ago. So its very very dued. For the first time, I'm gonna be showing you guys the whole process in how I went about colouring after tracing the picture I took from somewhere on Friendster which she said to just grab. The whole thing took me a week, with alot of pauses in between. Done with photoshop, lineart done by using a mouse and manually painted with a mouse. ![]() Lineart.
![]() ![]() End Result. Anyway, if you guys want the higher resolution version, visit this link. arfandi used up his time at 8:47 PM
![]() For 19 years of my life, damn I feel old, I've had my fair shares of having a rock band of my own. Starting from Slipshot, Synaptula, Scarlet Soul and a couple of other bands which never manage to make up a name, I came to realise that they're all just a way of spending our free time. Definitely, they were never meant to be serious. At least, for me. Being able to wield the guitar for the first time, I never truly appreciate it, nor understand what am I suppose to fulfill with it. I knew, and well, was pretty confident, that I will never even make it in the music industry. Just a lil bit of history about being in a band for me, I started to play the bass riff on a GUITAR, yeah sucks, for the talentime in secondary school. Miraculously we won. I still got the trophy. Then Slipshot came about, and we started rocking to Blink, Sum 41 and Offspring. After we all graduated, the band broke up only to get back together for a one time project, Connect and our band was called Synaptula. This being made up with 3/4 of the previous band plus 3 more people. Quite big for a band. This set up somehow stayed permanent, cept for the departure of two members and replaced by a single lead guitarist. This final set up, Sazali on the drums, Hafiz on the Rhythm, Mahathir on the Lead(different Mahathir, not that lame Mahathir from KSS either), Me on the bass and Farhan on the mike, somehow made me believe we could have made it. We were rocking to MCR, The Used. I felt we were great though. Then it broke up, due to Mahathir's graduation, Hafiz's increasing commitment with school, Farhan's displeasure to the direction the band is going and a couple of other things running at the background which I don't know of. I wasn't angry. I was just disappointed. Though even if everything about Scarlet Soul is yesterday's story, I cherished all the competitions we went through and tried. We had a fantastic vocal, a creative lead guitarist, an aspiring drummer, a consistent rhythm and a fashion disaster bassist(which is me). Breaking up, in any form of way, hurts. But I'd rather remember the memories than the pain. In hope that some day, in the future, if by chance we met each other again, we could still rock on together still. arfandi used up his time at 1:31 AM

Haha, I intended to start the post in a very serious manner, and I did say I won't post things regarding my life much to the public, but well, I guess we can excuse this blunder for this time rite? Just an update, the appeal that I requested was inevitably rejected by the school board. I wouldn't trade the time that I went through with anything, since I found out that people do care for your well-being, even when you messed up or even when you disappoint them. Along the way, I received alot of understanding from my fellow friends, families and the people close to me. I thought alot of people would be extremely disappointed with me, but I realised that the people who are close to me understood what I'm going through, though there are some instances where people who doesn't know me jumps to conclusion and starts preaching me. What happens after this? I'll just have to hold on strongly to my belief, that whenever a man falls to the ground, the only thing that he can do, is to pull himself off the ground and carry on with the journey.
