[Comic] Ramadhan Has Arrived Again...So Does Yusuf Taiyoob

I don’t know about you but to me, one of the biggest indications that Ramadhan is here once again is not all those ketupats that has started to pop up at shopping malls but instead, it’s the Yusuf Taiyoob advertisement.

Known for its signature “whisper”, the reason why Yusuf Taiyoob advert usually appears during or near to Ramadhan is because one of its main products is date and as many of you might aware, dates is very popular during fasting month. This comic pretty much hit the spot:

Hope you all will have a good and blessed Ramadhan this year. :)

[Life] Sometimes…Be Yourself Is The Only Thing You Can Do

No matter how many times you went through it, breakups are hard especially when you honestly and sincerely put efforts into your relationship. While you need to pick up yourself and continue the search till you finally found your destined soul mate but along the way, the journey might have unwanted effects on you. That might include frustration as well as the feeling of “tiredness” and “void”.

When that happened, it will usually led to questions such as “What did I do wrong?”, “When will I finally found that person?”, “Why I'm alone unlike everyone else?” and many more. As sad as those questions might sound, I afraid they will be on heavy rotation and will pop up whenever the feeling of loneliness appears.

What I’ve learned after all these years of being alone that they will only go away when another person steps in to fill up that “void”. Till that time comes, the only thing that you can do is just be yourself.

“Don't lose any sleep tonight, I'm sure everything will end up alright…”

My Song Playlist for Standard Chartered KL Marathon 2012 10KM

Never leave home without it: my current MP3 player, the wearable Sony Walkman NWZ-W262.

I just love music and obviously, I listen to them while running. It is almost impossible to see me running without my trusty MP3 player and since I'll be participating in the Standard Chartered KL Marathon 2012 10K tomorrow, it is time to choose some songs for the event.

For this year's SCKLM 10K, this is how my playlist looks like:

Six Degree of Inner Turbulence (live version): Dream Theater
The Great Escape - Girls' Generation
The World As I See It - Jason Mraz
Thnks fr th Mmrs - Fall Out Boys
The Way You Move- Outkast (feat. Sleepy Brown)
Nothin' On You - B.O.B (feat. Bruno Mars)
Kotarayaku - Altimet (feat. Noh Hujan)
N***** in Paris - Jay-Z and Kanye West
Rope (deadmau5 mix) - Foo Fighters
Generator - Foo Fighters
Pumped Up Kicks - Foster The People
Stronger - Kanye West
Breakn' A Sweat - Skrillex & The Doors
Feeling Good - Muse
Live To Rise - Soundgarden
Best of You - Foo Fighters
Paradise - Coldplay
I Want You So Hard (Boy's Bad News) - Eagles of Death Metal
Don't Speak - Eagles of Death Metal
Go With The Flow - Queens of The Stone Age

I don't really have a specific theme in choosing all these songs. They are pretty much on my list because I just want to listen to them during the run tomorrow, heh.

Meanwhile, if you are participating in SCKLM'12, I wish you all the best and see you at Dataran Merdeka tomorrow! :D

Rude KFC Worker Is Nothing Compared To Chicago's Weiners Circle

I would really like to check this joint if I ever ended up in Chicago...but then...I could be walking out of this place crying like a crybaby. Just take a look at the verbal abuse, lol.

Must be worth it, I think. xD

Celebrate It: Here Is Why Have To Be At Your Friend/Loved One's First Running Event

All smiles at the finishing line - my first event, the Energizer Night Race 2010 in Cyberjaya.

Yup, it is indeed an hassle. You have to wake up as early as 3 to 5am, drag your sleep deprived body to the venue, looking for a safe spot to park your car so early in the morning or have to pay midnight charges for cab (like me, usually), going through so many people at the venue, bracing the jam + road closure on the way back and the list goes on...but why more and more (through my personal observation, of course) young adults under 30 years old are participating in running events?

For many, running is not only just for getting fitter or to trim down those extra kilos. Some actually viewed it at a bigger scale - as a rite of passage. Hence, it could be one of biggest moment of their life for your friend/significant other. That is exactly why you need to be there and celebrate them.

I believe there will be many first time runners at the upcoming Standard Chartered KL Marathon 2012. It is pretty much the biggest running event in the country and it is certainly a memorable place for one to start their journey into the world of running. It will be even more memorable if you are there to celebrate with them. So, be there. :)

I was fortunate enough that someone was there at my first running event in 2010. We might not talk with each other anymore due to unfortunate circumstances but nevertheless, that was one of my fondest memory of her. That might sound a little bit grim but that is a personal example of what I'm trying to say in this post.

Is It Only Me That Thinks Noor Neelofa Looks Like Miranda Kerr?

If you followed me on Twitter, you might have seen me tweeted this quite a number of times:

"Neelofa somehow looks like Miranda Kerr to me..."

Seriously, I don't think I'm the only one who felt that way...right? Hence, with the power of Google Image Search, let me present you some examples...

Middle Eastern Craziness: Bus Drifting Awww Yeaaaaa

No offense to the Arab folks here but seriously, quite a lot of you guys are a menace on the road. Being a Multimedia University students back then whereby there are significant number of Middle Eastern students in addition to others from surrouding colleges, driving/riding on Cyberjaya roads can sometimes become pretty dangerous.

Despite that, I really not surprised. Just take a look at this...if we see rempits as a menace here, these guys lagi atas. Imagine, drifting (known as Hagwalah there) a freaking bus right in the middle of busy road. WITH FELLOW MATES AS PASSENGERS...AND SPECTATORS TOO! o.0

Seriously. In before YOLO...right, YOLO that brain of yours and you might just end up like this. Keep hooning to video games or turn professional, guys.
