1. Dear comrade-in-arms, don’t take my advice literally.
Dear rad,
Thanks for the enlightening email. Is F around or is he in Indonesia? Has R presented her proposal?
How are things for you and everyone?
As for me, I am not progressing! I am still contained by the feeling of the loss of my beloved father (Note: I wrote abt it here). I am trying hard through my prayers hoping to get my motivation restored. Surah Yassin is my closest friend now!
But I bersyukur kerana my study leave and scholarship have been extended for another semester. I know Allah gives me this opportunity to move ahead in life....................
Okay la, nanti cerita lagi. Good luck to you and everyone. Salam too.
Dear a-- (a colleague – I wrote abt him here),
F di Indonesia lani. Pak Y yg kasitau. R belum bentang -sedang mencari2 date yg sesuai, commtt dah setuju. Bz gak dgn FIL (stage 4 cancer - dr suruh bawa blk rmh utk TLC) & MIL both sakit terlantar.
Things are not so good for me - byk distraction -hahaha! Penatlah asyik2 belek data. A tengah semangat wat paper -nak antar India. You ingat tak pak arab (A. H. ke hape namanya) yg bentang pasal privatisation di Jordan, main dia Prof NG - if I'm not mistaken masa present tahun lepas tu u ada, En.I & kak R pun ada? Mengikut kata si M (pak arab libya bawah NG gak) dah submit pun 8months after that i.e. recently lah kot. Wah, I dengar pun sakit jiwa daaa... Tpkan sedar diri jugak lah - ini dugaan/bahagian msg2...semuanya dtg dr Allah. Yg penting kita teruskan usaha & jgn putus asa: No te rajes! (Don't give up!)
Ikut kata R (stil in Medan, bz wid baby) pulak - dia lagilah progress macam semut hehehe...dia sibuk tanya pasal pendaftaran n yuran sem depan. Pastu dia kata lagi, badai pastikan berlalu...cewah!!!
Pak Anton sedang berkira2 nak antar notis - dah ada final draft. Ibu Siti pun. Id@ upm pun. I ni dok mengira orang je lah...
Now - you. Ingat, kita kena progress bukan regress. Yg pergi tu sudah pastilah tempat mereka di sana - tjawab kita utk mendoakan kesejahteraan mereka di alam barzakh. Utk kita, hidup mesti diteruskan. Akhirat nak dikejar, dunia pun nak diconquer - hutang @commitment dgn varsity/kpt bagai -mmg la klu mati kita tak bawak tesis masuk kubur tp hutang settle ka? Hahaha... Sekurang2nya kita masih ada ahli keluarga lain - mak terutamanya yg perlu u berikan perhatian esp. dialah yg lagi rasa kehilangan teman hidup sekian lama. Alhamdulillah, u dpt extention - no need to worry abt money like me *sigh*...tp ingat masa berlalu begitu pantas!
Ok - pergilah cari motivasi diri ye...do something, anything, whatever to get started again back on track!
Note: Last I heard, he’s planning for a weekend getaway (again!) this coming Labour holiday! Duh! That is not what I meant…
2. How to Find Your Exschoolmates
Answer: Letak gamba muka zaman dolu2 yg xsenonoh tu hehehe... (mcm2 responses dat i got...)
Note: I know, I know- I'm supposed to work on my thesis - but then the opportunity to trace back some of my exschoolmates thru fri*ndster simply can't be resisted! Ramai yg dah xkenal muka (like some said; aduss, puas dok recall rad- ni yg mana eh..dulu form 5 kelas bohr ke? umah helang?; another said: Not really sure but ur pix totally diff.) so this called for desperate measure - such as the need to go thru my archives (tu yg jumpa pelbagai pix the other day) & Voila! This is how I look like 20 (Erratum: Confirmed it’s a F5 pix so that only goes 15 years ago) years back! Hahahaha....jgn xgelak! (insert ugly mug pix here)
Pae: Azie (Ya-ya…dis ws my nick when I was way too much young to know better) ... lain nyer...kalau bertembung sure den tak konal.... hehehe
me: Pae, Dah lotak gamba lamo tu - kot2 ado laie yg kona den kan...hehehe
Han: Kak Rad...nerd gile gambar akak...hahahaha!!! Sorry, i can't help myself....jgn marah Kak Rad. But it's cute...
me: Han, B4 uols pakat gelak beramai2, ahkak dah gelak guling2 dulu dah...LOL. Tekonang maso dulu2...Isy, masa tu umur 13 tahun okeyyy! (Ke 17 ntah?) Chop! xperasan ka? Itu spek ala2 yg Par*s Hilton pakai lani tu-glamer beb....cuma x tinted jer! Ahaks!
me: Hehehe...dah letak dah muka toye dolu2 tu...hopefully it will trigger your memory!
Kir: astaga...rad- ni ke..rasanya this rad- masa kat stj dulu paling low profile, pendiam, tudung labuh kalau x silap (*Teett!!* Wrong statement!), tapi pandai...umah helang kan?org lain masa skolah slim, lepas skolah or dah kahwin nampak berisi...rad- ni the other way round..masa skolah nerd, skema, nampak plum. lepas skolah, kawin and beranak..lagi berseri and x nampak plum daripada kat skolah dulu...no wonder la i could't recognise u.. cayalah! (Dis is da best!! kembang montot ahkak you…)
Ria: ish ish ish....ingatkan sape tadi.hampir tak kenal u....huhuhu
me: Ala ria, perli ek? Hehehe...Itulah, dulu lain, sekarang lain. Dulu bujang, sekarang...
Lin: Sekali pandang macam kenal, cheh..rupenye dia... "skema" giler akak nih! hahahah...
Mun: salam... amboi tu gambar lama tu. gambar tu masa sama2 kat STJ. masih terbayang lagi gambar tu kat mata aku. ko tetap comei...
Eventually leading to…Jejak Kasih (can’t wait for her no!)

Me: Ntah..xpasti le pulak tang PS/PB tu - my own PS pun (Sy.xxy - Yong namanya -kenal?) dah lost contact a few yrs after spm (dia wat a-level di uk). Sape ur PS dulu?
Kir: la..u ke PS si Yong? she was my PS la..till now we still keep in touch..dia rapat dgn my sister and my cousin's too..fakh-- is my cousin..once in a while mmg jumpa la si yong ni..dia kawin dgn za*ni, batch dia masa kat stj dulu..za*ni was my sister's PB..hahahaha..kelakar, my PS kawin dgn my sis' PB..
Me: La, ye ke Yong ur PS? kasi dia punya email & hp no boleh? Dah berapa anak dia? Your sister exstj batch bila?
Kir: nanti i ask my sister whether she's still keep yong's number..yong tu best, sempoi nak mampus!
