LiFuTuSHi LaiR

i used to be a windows-only pc user for years, until i met Fedora few months back. my first impression was "so, this is the customizable Linux? cool.. let’s give it a try"…

oh yeah, still couldn’t live without windows, i used dual-boot, one Windows XP+one Fedora core 5. then i added one more, Fedora Core 6, which makes one windows and two linuxs (or is it linuces as in vertices? :p)

so my notebook’s harddrive would be something like this:
1 LVM - Windows
1 LVM - Fedora Core 5  2.6.15 + 2.6.16 (two kernels in one)
1 LVM - Fedora Core 6
1 vfat/fat32 share partition

now as i got a new desktop PC (came with Windows XP), i decided to install Linux on it, to make it dual-boot. then i got the Fedora 7 installer DVD from a colleague. guess what? that distro rocks!!!

i bet everyone already heard all these talks about how cool n pretty Windows Vista is, but let me put it to you in this way. Fedora 7 can put Vista into the deepest shame possible. imagine something prettier than Vista, highly customizable… you can put changes into minor details, very stable, not a resources-hogging OS, comes with most advanced technical capabilities (it has mobile IPv6!! how’s that for a surprise???) and etc..etc..etc..

and PLUS IT’S FREE!!! by FREE i really mean both ‘FREE’s in software term. 1) FREE = you don’t have to pay for it. 2) FREE = full open source.

okay, i might sound too excited about this Fedora 7 which simply means i sound stupid. yeah, whatever!! but now my new desktop has 4 OS on it, and none of them is Windows. and it works fine…

and the next time i format my notebook harddisk, i’m not sure Windows will still be on it…

Aku dah botak!!!
no, not actually bald..
wahahaha!!!

i used to cut my hair extra short every few months. but one day one sad thing happened… that day i was just thinking of having a short hair again, and in fact i did… but on the way back there’s someone asking me "oh, you too want to imitate Mawi, huh?"
WHAT THE???#%^&*...
i’ve been doing this since secondary school, and now i’m imitating some reality TV guy??
so from that time i stopped having my hair too short..until recently…
yeah, right!!!! AKU DAH BOTAK (LAGI)!!!!

and i feel really great about it… having a light head once again… and the shower… for those who never have their hair this short, you’d never experience that sensataion… shower with short hair!!!!

look at the picture, that’s 1 week after i cut my hair… it doesn’t matter whether it looks good or not… the comfort comes first…

Penat jugak bulan ni…. asyik travel jerk….
balik hotel rasa nak tido jer… kalau bukan pasal perut lapar..mau lepas isya’ terus berdengkur sampai subuh…
pekerja2 kat hotel ni pun mesti dah lali nengok muka2 monyok kitorang tiap2 kali balik keje…dah sebulan muka2 sama je kuar masuk hotel..hohoho…
awal2 best la… gi tempat2 dekat sekitar ipoh jerk…
sekarang kena gi yang jauh2..baru rasa penat dia…
mau taknya..travel saja dah baper jam…
tapi takpe, carik duit punya pasal…
weekend lepas cuti raya cina dapat la legakan tulang2 sikit, balik kl keje melepak aje… lepak kat umah sewa bosan… tempat syawal gak jadik mangsa lepakan aku…
nasib baik dia tak kisah…senang citer tiap kali balik kl bilik dia la tempat aku squatting..dah umah sewa aku bosan tahap max..nak buat camana…
ingat next month nak carik rumah sewa lain lak..
yang dekat ngan star lrt, sebab bulan 4 aku masuk keje mimos…
keje tetap la pulak.. dah cukup la aku freelancing dulu n keje kontrak cam sekarang…
kalau kira duit memang lumayan, tapi kurang rasa achievement, sebab tak berpanjangan…
kepada sesapa member2 yang tau ada rumah sewa kosong yang murah dan dekat ngan star lrt, sila2 la kontek aku….
kalau bulih dekat ngan bukit jalil la…
kat bandar tasik cam ok jer… si kasyfi ajak dok sentul…tengok la dulu, kalau takde tempat lain, bulih la kot kat situ… tapi dia bulih la, keje bank negara dekat jer… aku yang kena gi bukit jalil jauh la jugak…huhuhu…
alamak, lapar la pulak, si najib ngan zami ni tak balik lagi shopping, nak tunggu diorang balik baru gi makan…
harahetta yo…. dah la lunch tadi makan sandwidch highway jer…mana tahan perut pelahap aku ni…
ape2 hal…. adios…wassalam…

dulu rasa macam jauh je lagi nak grad… cam benda yg tak perlu nak pikir2 sangat… hidup bulih lepak2… maklumlah, kawan-kawan aku semua best2… walaupun bukan 100% sehati sejiwa, tapi boleh saling menerima… macam gambar sebelah kanan ni… member2 time matric dulu… ni kat kaki gunung mana ha?? siap ada salji kat atas puncak gunung tu..bila masa kita gi oversea?? hehehehe… biasalah..keje aku memang suka rosakkan gambar….

pastu masuk lak main camp…4 tahun… pun still rasa cam lambat lagi nak habis… lepas satu sem, satu sem lagi… naik 2nd year..3rd year…pastu final year… eh? ye ke? apesal rasa cam baru sebulan dua aku kat sini????   

dan akhirnya… the ‘very last’ final exam pun sampai… (kalau tak sangkut la..jangan la sangkut!!!).. dah nak grad dah rupanya… (biar betul???)

ni pulak gambar bebudak majoring aku.. bukan semua la.. ada la beberapa kerat yang malu2 kuda taknak amik gambar sekali… apa daaa korang!!! gambar ni amik kat Pacific Ocean(konon) .. biasa la dok atas air.. kata menuntut ilmu ninja Konoha(konon)…

anyway, selamat berjaya la pada semua yg amik final sem ni (ada yang kena bar ke?)… dan doakan aku dapat grad…taknak oo sangkut..malu weh… mana nak letak muka tak hensem aku ni nanti? dalam baldi? atas almari? huhuhu…

never thought that this day would come… i’m about to graduate soon!!! years of study…now it’s getting closer to the end… i’ve started job hunting.. who thought the first company i applied to has already put me in the shortlist just after one day i submitted my application..wish me luck for the interview!! i wonder what happened to other applications? nahh, if i managed to land this one job, i don’t need to think about other applications anymore, since this is my first choice…

it’s Ramadhaan and i feel like everything run smoother for me… what a blessed month… that’s why i missed Ramadhaan so much before… this serenity helps me a lot in my life…

been busy again lately.. haven’t been into frenster for quite a time.. and i missed several of my frens birthday..hahaha…
looks like the world is really near to its end now… one by one.. terrible things happened…
there are pigs and monkeys who should be condemned forever in hell for poking their noses in God’s affair… you don’t change God’s rules. you ask when you don’t understand, but you should never challenge the holy commands of Allah, because you are just mere mortals.
people cannot be smart by getting high education alone, but the smart people are those who know themselves and their position as part of God’s creation… knowing why they were sent to the world and knowing how to prepare for the final return to His side…
O! Allah the Most Gracious and the Most Merciful! save my soul from being the likes of these pigs and monkeys! save us all into your love and blessing!!!

How many weeks has it been? the sugar crisis is really annoying… it hits me hardest in my pocket… now i can’t make my own morning coffee anymore, no milo during snack time, no milo again after lunch, no evening tea, no nescafe after supper and no late night coffee.. and none between those times..
it hurts to go to the cafe to get the drinks everytime… i’ve been spending a lot on them daily… and there’s no fun in it…

What’s is happenning in our world? it’s getting worse by day.. do we need to wait until the final hour to realise that we’re making ourselves the victims of our own selfishness? what have we done to make this world a better place? where is our faith in the hereafter? are we going to go through this test of life joywalking with a blindfold? where have those words uttered by our tongues vanished? why haven’t we act to our own speech…. as we age, we’re closer to our last terminal…. but we’re acting like tomorrow’s gonna be forever, like we’re going to walk on this earth for another thousands of years, like we’re not gonna see Siratul Mustaqim lies in front of us to let us pass or slip down, like the ba;ance of Mizan won’t be there to determine our next home…and we call ourselves the faithfuls?….think again…

just a lil bit more… it’s all going much better than i thought i would be… i can see it ending in the nearest future… well, i still have much time… all of the time dedicated in the last few weeks, now i’m far in front of schedule… that’s it… i’m not stopping anymore… it’s a victory dance soon!!!

Alhamdulillah…

after a long struggle and hardships.. things have become a lot easier nowadays… i still can’t believe how things have changed.. is it true, what is happening now? or am i just dreaming???

things are very tough back then…  i almost snap while hanging on my not-so-firm stand… patience pays.. now i believe it does…

looking back how things used to be, i’m glad that i decided to keep my faith strong… if somehow i chose to quit halfway, i know i won’t be able to enjoy this feeling…it’s not a victory yet… there’s still a lot of things waiting for my commitment… and the fatique is still like in the old days… but somehow i can feel it… i’m not stumbling on every other step any anymore…

maybe i’ve grown.. who knows.. maybe things are not actually get easier, maybe it’s just me.. getting more comfortable stepping onto those slippery stones…like today, i didn’t even fumble at the very moment i was worrying about… life’s great…isn’t it??

Alhamdulillah, Thanks to Allah for everything… for every moment and for every lesson.. for every breath that i took and still taking, and every breath that i held while grasping for reality.. for every sweet and sorrow, which made me a better ‘me’… thank you for this life, the one that i’ve been using in greed and ingratefulness…and thank you for choosing me to be among the believers… i can’t imagine living without this faith… and i do not want to die without it…. Alhamdulillah, Alhamdulillah,Alhamdulillah.. and may blessings be upon His Messenger, Muhammad S.A.W…
