Mokhster’s Bundle of Stuff

Sorted out my bills, and I'm back online on my home PC. How was your day? Mine was good but uneventfully.

Had my first ever eBay transaction done today. I have officially popped my online shopping cherry.
I bought a PC software from someone and the reason I did was cause I really wanted the software, and cause it's a soft copy I don't have to worry about shipping and such.

I really wanna pick up paint ball. But it aint cheap, especially for us on this side of the word. Well I guess where there is a will there is a way.

I'll post a picture in celebration of me back online...At home that is...

And today I received my first comment on this blog of mine and I'm basking in the after glow of acknowledgement. Thanks Aimi you've made my day.

Speaking of my day, it hasn't been all peaches and cream. You see things aren't turning out too well this morning at work. I've been slacking off in a few areas this couple of weeks which resulted in me being verbally crucified this morning by my supervisor. Nothing life or death, but if "Big G" wants to prove a point things could get messy.

OH well..

My blog updates have been slow in coming cause my broadband connection at home has been cut. I'll try and sort it out, but till then. seeya when I seeya

Oh Man!! The gaps between my posts are getting longer and longer. Must not lose focus, must stay calm!! Too many temptations...Must not be weak!

Was lucky enough to watch Star Wars III : Revenge of the Sith on the 17th. It was a special preview for celebrities, press, and radio. Anyway I'm a really big Star Wars fan , so much so I never understood star trek. Anyway I was looking forward to the final chapter in the Star Wars saga, Anakin's fall from grace, the rise of the empire, and the fall of the Jedi's. How was it? It SUCKED!!!

I'm sorry but there's no other way of putting it. it was lacking in so many ways. It was like a Bollywood movie with lightsabers. And Anakin!! How on earth ( or in this case tatooine ) did you end up as Darth Vader?! You shame Darth Vader!! You whine non stop! I thought all the whining would end it episode II but I was wrong.

Everyone was looking forward to the inner struggle and temptation the dark side would cause. Did it happen? A bit. Here's how it basically went :

Emperor : Skywalker! Use the dark side..Embrace it and you will be more powerful

Skywalker : ..........It's....... Wrong...I cant

Emperor : Join the dark side of the force..

Skywalker : .......No..

Emperor : you must!

Skywalker : .......It's wrong...I cant

Emperor : you must!

Skywalker : ..............No..

Emperor : well, ummm..As a benefit you'll be my right hand man when we conquer the
universe since your left hand is actually an artificial limb, oh by the way you can save your wife Padme...

Skywalker : OH! Ok then...Master

?!!*&^%^&*#!.......

that's it? Now your evil? Now your Darth Vader?!

George Lucas..You took the short cut making this movie. The movie was a visual extravaganza, but the story was just lazy story telling. I wanted an onion ( different layers with tears all the way through ) what I got was like a lollipop ( something to suck on between meals )

So I'm at the office doing some work, checking e-mail, and friendster...Ok those two activities don't really count as "work"....

*ahem*

So I'm at the office keeping my self busy when I get a message from a person I thought I'd never hear from again. She was a major part of my life in college, I totally adored her, and even though we were never officially "together", in the end she unofficially dumped me. It was a hard time for me. I was hurt and she said she had her reasons. I found out later she got married with her Ex. And now has two kids.

what does one do when someone one had "history" with calls? Does one act all normal like nothing happened? Avoid getting into details and just keep the conversation light? Or just totally avoid communication at all cost?

sure there's that "we can still be friends" stuff. But she's married with kids, and I'm getting engaged. It would all just get awkward. And as a muslim it aint right for me to keep in touch with someone's wife, especially since the husband doesn't like me cause he considers me a treat. JERK!!

*laughs*

Man! It sure has been a busy month. Can't believe i haven't updated this site in almost 3 weeks. I apologize for my neglect, and here's to hoping it never happens again.

just finished rugby training, and I'm just sore all over. "No pain no gain" Who ever coined that term should be shot!.

what have you been up to this past few weeks?

2 more day's and my girl and I will be together for 5 years. i can't believe it's been that long. What a trip it's been. All that I've learned and all the maturing I've done. But not forgetting also the stupid mistakes I've made and the hurt I've caused. i love my girl and hope all goes as planed in regards to our planned marriage next year.

I love you Baby Bu...

In America, B.A.S.E jumping is a high risk activity. In the Amazon it's swimming with flesh tearing piranha's, and In Singapore it's chewing gum in public. And with how strict they are in Singapore about enforcing the law, chewing Gum in Singapore is the riskiest! Congratulations Singaporeans, officially in my book, you folks are crazy!!

some of you might have noticed the name change for the blog...

*LOL*

I'm sorry, just lost it for a minute there. I realized that I was kidding myself by naming the blog "Urban Mukmin" cause I'm still far from being a proper Mukmin. And to call my self that at this point in my life would be hypocritical, and arrogant. so now it's Mokhster's Ball.

So I finally introduced someone to my blog. Not sure if that's good or bad. I mean people like their blogs to be read, but now will I always feel less inclined to give my opinion on a controversial matter due to the fact someone I know reads it? The best way at this time I guess is to be true to ones self, be objective on subject matters, and not talk shit about someone a reader might know personally.

Congratulations "Coolhipchic" your number one!!

It's been going around this past few days. Been trying to dodge it for a while now. But have failed and now I have a splitting head ache, sore throat, and runny nose! It's funny that the common cold being common, is also without a cure! For years scientist have been fearful of a mutation of the common cold into something more lethal. Lets hope that day never comes.

I love my mom. I don't say it to her as often as I should. But with the things mothers have gone through for their sons... What my mom has done for me, how can one ever with words or action repay a mothers love?! The simplicity of their advice, their limitless patience, their wisdom, and strength is just simply amazing. Many a time a normal person would put me in a choke hold hoping for my last breath for the mistakes I've done, and stupid things I've said. But mother would just slap me across the head, then ask if I'd had anything to eat yet.

I LOVE YOU MOM!

My grandparents are having a small "kenduri" (that's Malay for a function that involves prayers) in commemoration of their 60th wedding anniversary. WOW! 60 years. That's along time to spend with one person. i hope I'm as blessed as they are when it comes to my marriage.

I seriously cant get over the fact how it's been since my last post. In a blink of the eye a few days have past without an update. I guess I'm lucky no one reads my post at this point in time. *sniff*

I got my self an Xbox last Friday, and so far I'm happy with the purchase. I just feel a bit guilty of spending what I had to pay for it all in one go. Oh! And my girlfriend doesn't know about it.

I tell my self that I got the Xbox as a means to reduce nights out and in the long run save more money, but the slight feeling of guilt in my gut tells me that that isn't 100% true. What to do!?

I was told by a friend at work that the only thing stopping me from my first step towards a slot on air at HITZ.FM is that I sound too Malay. Me of all people being told I sound Malay!? It's just so ironic. My English is excellent, it's just this slight local slang I have that the program director ain't too crazy about. First they tell me I have to keep it "real" and now I sound too Malay? There's a balance of the two that I haven't found yet. Hopefully with practice this will all change. insyaallah things will work out for the better.
