I have: sneaked into other people’s house, a thief, bungee jumped into the sea, loved someone, hated someone, hurted (not yet killed) someone, punched someone, made other people bleed, lived a (sort of) luxurious life, getting paid 120 bucks a day for years, worked, lived, survived at Langkawi, dived into the sea to wharf a -tug boat- barge, caused some innocent people to lose their jobs, met Dr.M on numerous occasions, worked & lived thru days with government officers, survived a serious car accident, designed & developed a website for the “Diva”:http://www.ning.com.my, been a Scout, picked up rollerblading & never looked back, an affair with a rich girl, more girl friends than guy friends, formed my own “business”:http://www.redboot.net, survived the Keadilan mob attack in KL, toured with my friends around Malaysia(well, almost) just to skate, backpacked to 3 different states so far, tried long distance relationship, partied like a crazy frog all night long, been to Backroom, been to Movement, been to Geylang Road(Hotel 81!), been able to understand the Brunei Malay language, co-founded a growing collective that goes beyond just rollerblading, founded a “website”:http://www.kjrollers.com for that collective, been onto the floors of the Incubus concert, worked & still working with a prominent Malaysian R&B “quintet”:http://www.ve-groove.com, watched my nephews & niece grow up, an affair with an (almost)superstar, sneaked my way into movie theatres, failed relationships, acquired my jobs(full-time & freelances) with my own damn effort(thank you God & the people who gave me support), took more risks & falls at a very young age(maybe because I was being lazy), believe in the way of life I made for myself & the way I want it to be and many more…
I guess, 25 years of life, past, present & future, is a bit of memory overload. Oh well…
There is one thing I always expect to expect. I expect to learn something new everytime I see the white clouds moving silently against the blue sky. I expect myself to have more knowledge. I want to learn more. So much to learn, so little time.
At this moment, I’d like to know, what have I achieved?
Happy birthday to my brother, Nazmi, Hafiz Beckham & to my surprise, Ilman(aka Louie). Thanks for sharing the same birthday as mine. To the rest of the people of the world, happy birthday to you too. At least, I know I’m not alone. Happy birthday Nazrul.
