Jakarta Trip 07
Heys~
I'm back for about 9 days in Jakarta. It was one of the best trips of all coz I finally get to meet all my long lost relatives there. It's a rather complicated family tree, so I'll just skip to the good parts and move on to the highlights. (Btw, for the first time, I DID NOT bring my vidcam on holiday, so I had to borrow my cousin's. No vids, not right now. So instead of a 90 min clip, i took 400 photos.)
1) Family bonding
Things were off to a great start. Uncles we've never met before came brought us to the hotel and later took us to the family so-called 'mansion' hahaha. It was a great reception, I was introduced to all the grannies here and also the younger cousins. You know their lives aren't that great, but they're really awesome people. It was like 60+ of long lost relatives and only 9 of us singaporeans. Woohoo, we were like celebrities hahaha.. My cousins are the greatest, theyre so freakin cute cute cute, we jump around in circles in the house and scream at otheres ears. -.- HAHAHAH!!! I LOVE THEM!!!! The older ones (chicks) were really 'lovely' hahah!! Why'd we HAVE TO LEAVE ??????? (My cousins are in the pics of the previous posts)
2)Safari
We went at a safari trip! Driving around the vicinity looking at all the animals. There was a llama who blocked the road for about 6 mins (he's hungry), and there was a orangutan was so rotund he couldnt move, and there was a lion who just couldnt take his eyes of us. If only singapore had this kinda thing, to bad we only have it after dusk.
3)Dunia Fantasi
Directly translated, its 'Fantasy World'. Yeah, a theme park. Unfortunately I only took 3 pitiful rides, but at least they were the good ones. Reason: The park is filled up to its brim. The recent discount kept the folks coming in like waves, the queues are packed!! Worse part is, I DIDNT GET TO RIDE THE STINKIN ( actually awesome loop the loop twirly whirly )ROLLER COASTER. DAMMIT DAMMIT DAMMIT. But at least I got to ride the 3D simulator, the only ride my dad queued up for was called 'Please flush before you leave'. XD
4) Reptiles
We visited a reptile farm..I patted my new pet python and kicked the tail of the Komodo lots times. He didn't seem to mind, must've had too much breakfast. The Komodo was fed only once a week but he eats 9 chickens in one go. Finger lickin good eh?
5) Sea World
It's mainly just a typical aquarium and underwater world. But I got a few nice shots of the giant stingray. The divers have cut its deadly tail off so it would'nt kill another Steve Irwin.
6)Chicks
Y'know I can't believe I'm actually blogging about this. Oh well. Being the kaypo king that I am, i've noticed some things about the chicks at theme parks: The hot ones have boyfriends, the really hot ones are married, the really really hot ones only like other gals (ew), and the really really really hot ones are only found on tv. This hurts me soooooooooooooo bad. Chick-hunting won't be the same again. Oh well, but there's still a handful out there....................
7) Angels
Haha. Did you know I saw an angel at the hotel. She was so pretty, she was singing on the stage at the lobby. All the idiots at the cafe were watching her intently. When I was starting to notice her, I took out the camera and I took a shot. If only I had my vid, so I borrowed my cousin's. I got her on tape when suddenly she noticed me and then its as if she was singing to me. HAHAHA. My cousin said 'oi enough la' and I took advantage. I pretended as if she was REALLY singing to me, placing my hand on my chest and sighing. Dude, she giggled on stage. And then I flir-... okay never mind. Too bad I didn't go and say hello or something, or else I would have dated an angel. OH MY CRUD I AM STILL A SHY TURTLE. *Haix*
8)Shopping
This really doesn't concern me. I know MOST people would shop till they drop, not me. I'm just an idiot who carries the shopping bags and pray hard this whole disaster is over. I'm not really a shopaholic so I had to literally 'survive' malls. I don't get my own money to spend, I don't get the freedom to roam around, and I wait outside the shops while my parents spend 2-3 hrs to buy things to give relatives (which will probably end up in some back closet anyway). The worse part is, there are NO chicks. Talk about a BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAD day. Oh well, I bought my new shades here anw..
That's about it. I wished I didn't have to come back to this stupid reality.. oh well, here's tworeaally cool pics I took to end the long post. I'm going back to my sour life. Sweet dreams..

If Only It Lasted A Little Longer...
I close the door
Like so many times, so many times before
Filmed like a scene on the cutting room floor
I wanna let you walk away tonight without a word
I try to sleep, yeah
But the clock is stuck on thoughts of you and me
A thousand more regrets unraveling
OOoh, if you were here right now,
I swear I'd tell you this
[Chorus:]
Baby I don't wanna waste another day
Keepin it inside, it's killing me
Cause all I ever wanted comes right down to you (to you)
I wish that I could find the words to say
Baby I would tell you, every time you leave
I'm inconsolable
I climb the walls, yeah
I can see the edge,
But I can't take the fall, no
I've memorized the number
So why can't I make the call
Maybe cause I know you'll always be with me
In the possibility
Baby I don't wanna waste another day
Keepin it inside, it's killing me
Cause all I ever wanted comes right down to you (to you)
I wish that I could find the words to say
Baby I would tell you, every time you leave
I'm inconsolable
No, no, no
I don't wanna be like this
I just wanna let you know
That everything I hold in
Is everything I can't let go (oooh, can't let go)
Cause BABYYYYY
Baby I don't wanna waste another day
Keepin it inside, it's killing me
Cause all I ever wanted comes right down to you (to you)
I wish that I could find the words to say
Baby I would tell you, every time you leave
I'm inconsolable
Don't you know it baby
I don't wanna waste another day
I wish that I could find the words to say
Baby I would tell you, every time you leave
I'm inconsolable
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Oooh, I'm inconsolable
Whoaa yeah
I'm inconsolable
For the special ones in Jakarta, for the special one right here in S'pore
love you guys...

Amidst the Stars
BERSAMA BINTANG
senja kini berganti malam
menutup hati yang lelah
dimanakah engkau berada
aku tak tau dimana
pernah kita lalui semua
jerit, tangis, canda tawa
kini hanya untaian kata
hanya itulah yang aku punya
tidurlah... selamat malam
lupakan sajalah aku
mimpilah... dalam tidurmu
bersama bintang
sesungguhnya aku tak bisa
jalani waktu tanpamu
perpisahan bukanlah duka
meski harus menyisakan luka
lupakan diriku... lupakan aku
mimpilah dalam tidurmu bersama bintang
************
For only me, myself and I
Being emo means to escape the wrath of reality for a moment,
Being true to yourself is just coming back to face it.
It doesn't matter what I say. It doesn't matter what I see.
The only thing that matters is what I do to change what I am now.
Just close your eyes, goodnight
and forget my life of past scars
May you dream sweetly
in your sleep
amidst the stars

Frostbite
The clouds rolled in..
The frosty showers of the morning pelted my umbrella as I hurried to school. I made my way up to the library, and wondered about the peculiarity of these temperatures.
When I set off for home at noon, as the rain grew more intense and as freezing as ever, I thought of the occasional blizzards of the Arctic. I shivered under the icy chills in the air-con bus.. piercing through my skin. There was just me, the blissful tunes of the music in my ears, and the numbing frostbite of the afternoon rain.
Damn.
Can the temperatures here get any lower?
Fever? Maybe. But today was exceptionally cold outside. (You thought so, lol) I just finished doing the video project for school-digital-media-awards.. been really busy, but now it's done. I felt really weird today. I wanted to sleep in but I my eyes won't shut, I'm getting an awful cold, my hiccups won't go away, and my heartbeat's off the charts.
...and my heart felt as freezing cold as the weather.
I'm freezing over..
..freeze..
..freeeze..
..freeeeeze..
*crack*

The bittersweet fairytale ending
Imprisoned emotions..
only to bask in your beauty
your eyes that shine like sapphires
your smile that brightens even my
that touches your lips
I long to touch you
to hold you in my arms but I cannot
for your heart,
your friendship means more to me
than anything this world provides
but like an angel you touched my heart
in a way that I've never felt before
cause I've never known what love is until this day
I know that we are only friends
but my heart wishes it to be more
that one day I can

Hear Me Scream
party on, I wanna hear you scream and shout
this is real, as real as it gets
I came to get down to get some f*cking respect
taking it back to hardcore level
you better be ready, put your pedal to the metal
taking it back to hardcore level
you better be ready, put your pedal to the metal.
Go!
Whoa I'll never give in
Whoa I'll never give up
Whoa I'll never give in
And I just wanna be, wanna be loved
Whoa I'll never give in
Whoa I'll never give up
Whoa I'll never give in
And I just wanna be, wanna be loved
I want domination
I want your submission
I see you’re not resisting
To this temptation
I’ve got one confession
A love deprivation
I’ve got a jet black heart
It’s all f*cked up and it’s falling apart
Whoa I'll never give in
Whoa I'll never give up
Whoa I'll never give in
And I just wanna be, wanna be loved
Whoa I'll never give in
Whoa I'll never give up
Whoa I'll never give in
And I just wanna be, wanna be loved
I’ve got another confession
I fell to temptation
There was some connection
I’ve got to follow my heart
No matter how far
I’ve gotta roll the dice
Never look back and never think twice
Whoa I'll never give in
Whoa I'll never give up
Whoa I'll never give in
And I just wanna be, wanna be loved
Whoa I'll never give in
Whoa I'll never give up
Whoa I'll never give in
And I just wanna be, wanna be loved
Take your past and burn it up and let it go
Carry on; I’m stronger than you’ll ever know
That’s the deal; you get no respect
You’re gonna get yours
You better watch your f*ckin neck
Take your past and burn it up and let it go
Carry on; I’m stronger than you’ll ever know
That’s the deal; you get no respect
You’re gonna get yours
You better watch your f*ckin neck
Whoa I'll never give in
Whoa I'll never give up
Whoa I'll never give in
And I just wanna be, wanna be loved
Whoa I'll never give in
Whoa I'll never give up
Whoa I'll never give in
And I just wanna be, wanna be loved

Hyder's remedy for frustration
1. Loud rock music - Simply by tuning up the volume for vengeful heavy metal or emo rock, this reduces the amount of hatred stored in my heart. Oh yeah, my ears get the hang of it too. Rating: *****
2. Video games - It never hurts to waste time playing your heart out at action games. The terrifying roaring of the guns, the murderous sounds of punching and slashing, the helpless wails of your enemies.. all part of virtual violence. Plus, taking your anger all out on the idiots on the screen, never hurts anyone, does it? Rating: ****
3. Rock star imitation - This one's a lil PRIVATE. You just plug in your amps and unleash the mindless rocker in you. That's all I can say. Rating: *****
4. Prayers - Seriously I find this very calming and effective. Dunno about you guys though.. Rating: ***
5. Sleep - Though I find this amazingly useless, it relieves you of pain for hours anyway. Rating: **
6. Watching wrestling - I like this one, but then again, it relieves your stress only for a moment. But I think after this you'd feel more vengeful than ever O.o Rating: **
7. Drawing gory pictures - I don't do this as much as I used to, so I forgot how much it helped. Here's an example at the bottom of the post. But then again, if you can't draw, you can always rip the blank paper to shreds. Rating: ***
8. The extensive use of the words 'RAWR', 'CRUD' and 'DAMMIT' - Erm, yeah, I'm nuts, well I still don't know why I do this. Though actually, saying these just makes me wanna curse someone. Rating: *
9. Let the anger build up inside as you emo around, venting your anger on everything in the house - This method sucks. -.- Don't. You'll end up slashing yourself anyway. Rating: -*
( eh ..why is this in the list anyway )
10. BLOG IT - The most helpful and effective method of all. Self explanatory. Rating: ******
Hey. I know some of you are pissed about me rambling on about how life sucks with crazed metaphors and lame language. It's just the way I relieve this hellbent pain. My emotions can change within a blink of an eye, and when it does, I go way extreme. See number 10? Please don't think I'm this psycho dude who can't decide what to think about. I'm not okay, and sometimes my feelings are over-exaggerated on the blog. You get what I mean?
I dunno but I feel sucky now. Sometimes happiness comes in a form of an SMS.. or just a friend to tell you that there's someone who would listen to you. But when you don't have both, I guess you gotta accept your fate and learn to find happiness on your own.

My shadow makes a fashion statement
Awright.
Heya...
How u guys doin lately? How come no one tags? More posts equals more tags? Anyway, i bet u guys having great start to the holidays. Goin out everyday, goin on parties, goin on barbeques, goin on dates, goin on cruises, goin on vacations, goin on alien abductions, goin on hikes, goin on nightwalks, goin on space exploration, goin on coral reef fishing, goin on skydives.. whatever.
Lucky me. I just sit at home waiting for the sky to fall. It neither rocks, nor sucks. I regret yesterday, wasted today, yet fear tomorrow. Dammit. Someone grow me a beanstalk.
Yesterday was so weird. I found out one of my pals had a crush on me. Somehow it didn't surprise me, but it aint gonna affect me anyway. Hey, I'm still your wonderful wonderful nonsensical friend, no more no less, live with it :) Who is it? Um, you wouldnt believe me if i told you...
So..
After a week of pointlessly doing nothing, my brain has turned into a void. I can now no longer remember how to solve math problems, cook up chemical equations and understand simple laws of physics. Problem? Uhh i think it is. -.-'
I better get to work on my holiday crap, but i somehow fear something. Somethin's tellin me to just sit back and relax. It's tellin me I should break off from the world of academics. Tellin me to... slack...... slack........ slaaaaack..
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
......
4E1 dammit. Life is so miserable, yet rewarding. I contradict myself and I don't know why.
Well, tag me lots okay (and i dont mean spam). Misery, keep an eye out for critics. Code: 876 553 23AL. Weird name huh?
Well i guess my work awaits. I need to reboot. See yahs! :)))))))))))))))))))
Oh, and thanks for coming.

sCrEw tHiS.....
Stupid boring, wasted day.
Today sucks. Practically nothing happened. Nothing. No thrills, no spills, no chills, no frills, NOTHING. NOTHING, DAMMIT.
I'd never felt so bloody bored in my entire life. And I actually got no mood to touch on schoolwork. I stayed in the whole day, doing nothing. Okay, well I went for prayer at noon and then I watched my bro play GetAmped for a few hours. I played the ps with my bros then I felt lethargic. Then I did nothing. I dont know how the hell time passed so fast. No progress, a day wasted.
I just tried talking to her. Maybe it'd cheered me up. But it just made me feel more gloomy than ever. Its not your fault, its me. No one would talk to me coz I'm a deranged fool. And now I'm stuck at home with about 2 months of
...working on a new neverending fiction
...making my own cardgame
...talking pointless crap with unworthy souls on the internet
...doing piles and piles of homework
...mugging like there's no tomorrow
...going back to school for some media competition
...being a couch potato watching wrestling
Oh come on. Someone just get our ass down from your sick planet and just take me with you.
This
Is
Sick.

top of the world
a bright future ahead huh?
I'm Hyder. Welcome to my same-old-same-old blog. -.-
....
What's my name? Hyder. -.-
....
okay.
Haix, what a day. It's 7/11, the last day of school for us sec 3e1-ians. A week and a half of prep classes, phew! And we just had our physics SPA (science practical exam, no massages) before we ended the day. And ho ho was the morning so freakishly enjoyable. Everyone was so extra-high today, like we had steroids for breakfast.
Y'know, for the first class in 3e1, we aint that nerdy nor geeky but we're not on the rough edge either. We're somewhere in the middle, but above all the rest. And that just rocks.
3E1 guys love to yap tons of the most nonsensical crap, joke with the teachers and bullying sharil. Hahah. The girls? They just contribute 95% of our noise level. HAHAHA!! :P My class is just full of fun and humour(crappy), we never fail to make each other laugh.
And we're the most ENTERPRISING, LAME, JOYOUS, NOISIEST, BRAINIEST, PUNCTUAL class in sec 3 express. XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
HAHAHAHAH!! yeah i know it rocks, please dont envy us. But we're kinda arrogant and we're not that tight, and we tend to face the heaviest load of homework. Yeah. -.-
Why am I tellin u this? Coz I never once thought I wud love my class so much as I do now. And I feel so honoured to be among the best bunch in the school. Now that school has ended, we'll all realize and appreciate our sense of belonging to the class, like me LOL. We're sky rocketing to 4e1 in 2008, and together, we'll soar the highest skies!!!!!!
4E1 4ever.

This post is beserk
Why are the days at school so freakin fun? Like wow man, school NEVER FAILS to bring happiness to this kooky EMO little head of mine. I know i cant drop the emo outer shell but i've been ridiculously UN-emo these past few days.
BUT, I AM POSITIVELY, CONFIDENTLY, ABSOLUTELY, AFFIRMATIVELY, IRREFUTABLY, UNDENIABLY, *gasp* , UNAMBIGUOUSLY, INCONTROVERTIBLY SURE,
that it is because I have so many awesome friends.....ten days woohoo~
Somehow, this has sparked me to be a little more outspoken and positive about going to school, even though school is practically over -.-
Oh well, with one more week of prepatory classes, I'm sure I'll be happy. Life has somewhat gotten better after hari raya :D well how about that..
Anyway, today was rather fun, with everyone using the word of the day which is '*u*' Rather explicit word but i guess thats normal with the contaminated and sick minds of the ten days guys. -.-'' Me? Ask me nothing please.
Today the five tendays guys (john,oli,wj, cw and me) went to BK to spend our vouchers (for our oober cool cme project [video] XD) and the girls went to KFC. lol. We kept choking on our french fries everytime we came up with new 'ideas'. =.= ''' It was hilarious.
But today was odd. When i was done changing, I noticed my e maths worksheet on the floor. It looked at me with its melancholy tear-filled eyes. I picked it up out of pity. -.-' I somehow had the guts to sit down, plug in my music player and suddenly I started working down the e math sums. When I was done, I turned around and my add math homework was prancing around in a grass skirt. -.-' Unamused, I grabbed it and whizzed thru the questions.
Okay so maybe Hyder is a bit loco when it comes to homework but today I did somethign I really had'nt done before. I studied for 4 hours straight without taking a damned break. (ok maybe i took 1 break for prayer but that doesnt count) Crap man..
WHAT IS THIS ASTOUNDING SHEER ENERGY OF MOTIVATION RUNNING THRU MY BRAIN. LEFT BRAIN IS ABSORBING PHYSICS TERMS LIKE A SPONGE, WHILE THE RIGHT IS SOOTHING THE SOUL WITH THE TUNES ON MY CELLPHONE.
~~~~~~~~~waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh~~~This rocks man.
I'M SO PSYCHED UP FOR SEC 4. TIME TO SHIFT IN TO HIGHER GEAR.
I sense a whole new beginning. Watch me soar the highest skies and I'll see you at the top.
...someone slap me...

Family.
What more could you possibly want? With my cousins, there are no such thing as betrayals, rejections or heartbreaks. Everyone just gets along naturally as there's no point in fate that could tear us apart.
This Hari Raya, my cousin Ayyub and his family visited us from Australia, to celebrate Hari Raya with everyone else. He's the one in the far right guy in the third and fourth pic. Its so awesome getting to meet him again after i visited him in Sydney 5 years ago. Almost everyone in our family ( 50 members! ) reunite every year at this time, but since my cuz's family is in Australia, we'd always have short of one family.. :p
Yesterday was a blast. Gathering at MY place and everyone showed up. See the last pic? That's my room! Everyone else in the pics are my cousins (except my two bros of course ). Yeah we couldnt fit everyone into my room hahah.. The girls were busy taking loads of pics while the noisy young ones turned my decker bed into a pirate ship. xD haha! It was so damn fun..
Well hear this. Nothing. I repeat, nothing, can ever make me happier than being with my cousins. My aunts, uncles, my parents, siblings, cousins.. they all appreciate me so much and I am so damned lucky to be a part of this fun-loving, hilarious family!
I've never been so happy in my life.
Hari Raya aint over yet.. WOO HOO..
See yahs!

Long Way To Go
Add Maths: This is it. The final battle. There's only room for one of us on Earth.
Long Way To Go
That said that she could never get enough of me
But you confessed
That when we were alone you had to tell yourself to breathe
So maybe I
Should feel a little more like I've been living in a dream
Well I'm asking you should I stay
Even though I love you
(I can't help thinking about if I'd be better without you)
If we stay together
(it could get worse, then again, maybe it could get better)
Even though I love you
(I can't help thinking about if I'd be better without you)
Somethings wrong we both know
That you and I still got a long way to go
Why would you?
Wanna be with me instead of other guys
Oh make me feel
Like something special
God I think I've heard a million times
So would it be enough
To buy you everything and call you mine
'Cause it won't last long if I do
Even though I love you
(I can't help thinking about if I'd be better without you)
If we stay together
(it could get worse, then again, maybe it could get better)
Even though I love you
(I can't help thinking about if I'd be better without you)
Somethings wrong we both know
That you and I still got a long way to go
If I would leave tomorrow
You'd be the last to know
Even though I love you
If we stay together
Even though I love you
(I can't help thinking about if I'd be better without you)
If we stay together
(it could get worse, then again, maybe it could get better)
Even though I love you
(I can't help thinking about if I'd be better without you)
Somethings wrong we both know
That you and I still got a long..long way to go
Long way to go
Long way to go
Still got a long way to go

When the lights are out
Dear love
Better sit down
Bad news
Get the word out
Accidents come with conclusions
I'm numb
On the asphalt
Don't cry
Wasn't your fault
I can't feel
It's just confusion
Keep on, keep on, keep on, when I'm gone
When the lights are out
Don't be sad for long
When I'm gone
And the lights are out
I'll be shining on
I'm just gonna let my life bleed on this letter
Let my song sing on forever
I'll still love you when I'm gone
Tear drops
Paint the faces
Despair
Is contagious
Dressed in black
Clutching a red rose
Hold on, hold on, hold on, my love goes on
Don't be sad for long
When I'm gone
And the lights are out
I'll be shining on
I'm just gonna let my life bleed on this letter
Let my song sing on forever
I'll still love you when I'm gone
When the lights are out
Don't be sad for long
When I'm gone
And the lights are out
I'll be shining on
I'm just gonna let my life bleed on this letter
Let me song sing on forever
I'll still love you when I'm gone
When the lights are out
Don't be sad for long
When I'm gone
And the lights are out
I'll be shining on
I'm just gonna let my life bleed on this letter
Let my song sing on forever
I'll still love you when I'm gone
