Ainaa took this picture of me while we were at MSLS 2010.
It’s blur but I like it somehow. I look artistic in it.
You see me, now you don’t.
Selamat Berpuasa to all my Muslim friends.

Today signals the start of the Holy Month of Ramadan.
I’ve always been intrigued by the fasting month, the spirit of unity is well-prevalent in a place we all know, the Ramadan Bazaar! The thought of Kebabs, Nasi Kunyit, Redang Ayam, Nasi Lemang is plain salivating. Can’t wait to look forward to break fasting with my Muslim friends!
In the spirit of the Holy Month, hereby I wish all my Muslim friends Selamat Berpuasa, may we all foster peace & unity during this Holy Ramadan.
Janganlah lupa jemput aku sama sama buka puasa!
Caught between the realms of reality.

That’s me playing Jason Mraz for the kids at Trinity Home. Just look at how indulged was Paul (guy in red) into my singing. It’s just plain waste that I took accountancy course.
Jokes aside. It was yet another Trinity Home visit with the SAC family last Friday nite. Weekly Trinity Home visit is fast becoming something to look forward to every week after intense studying & packed schedule. It’s inspiring in a way, although I must admit I’ve not been a great brother-cum-teacher, the appreciation showed by the kids is somewhat satisfying. My ‘pre-assigned’ kid is Peter, a notoriously naughty kid there!
It’s amazing to know how simple is their world. After all this while of growing up, I’m caught in between the realms of reality. The fact that growing old is inevitable hurts me, growing up may be optional, but being branded childish is no fun at all. It’s insulting, to me it is.
Still, I accept the fact that I’m growing up, ready to show that I’m capable of shouldering more responsibilities as time goes by. And it’s exactly the reason why I love going Trinity Home, it reminds me the fact that I was called a ‘brother/teacher’, comes with a heavy responsibility.
Enjoy your weekend peeps! As much as I did with my ‘tong sui’ here at SS2 after the visit!
4th Malaysian Student Leaders Summit (MSLS) 2010.
August 6th, 2010
MSLS was held at Nikko Hotel over the last weekend. Chances are, you already knew about it had you followed my Twitter which I posted out quite a few live updates of the event.
OK, the above was some epic shit tweet I posted on that day itself.
No. Kids, do not learn this at home.
MSLS was inspiring and motivating. To get close to local politic hotshots is something worth telling about. Razaleigh, Khairy Jamaluddin, Tony Pua, Danny Quah were all there to grace the event itself.
At first it appeared to be somewhat a difficult option to juggle between the MTV Worldstage happening on that day itself. But the very moment I stepped into the prestigious ballroom, with big chandeliers overlooking the banquet the stage, the answer is certain.
Yearp. I love my country more.

Here comes the August.
August 4th, 2010
Time flies. Indeed it is. It’s now August 2010, without me even realising it, thus far. Perhaps I was being ignorant? Or perhaps I was just too indulged in my lifestyle that I barely have time to look at the calendar? Nope. I don’t have the answer for you, but neither do I need to answer it.
Let’s test your general knowledge. August is named after which prominent Roman Figure?
August signifies a month full of hope (and holidays). The birth of the draconian act, ISA, the birth of Malaya, the birth of the few friends of mine, and of course, the Buka Puasa session where everyone looks forward to it. Not the fasting period, but rather the Buka Puasa feast whereby all Malaysians gather to break fast.
In the spirit of 1Malaysia, let’s make a small pledge shall I?
I SHALL BREAK FAST TOKETHER KETHER! (joking)
Happy August to each and every one of u.
