Kepada Najmi Ismail

Selamat hari lahir ke 24.

Terima kasih ajar aku bentuk liang lahad di Arab Saudi. Bertingkat-tingkat rupanya.

Terima kasih jual burger. Di saat kelaparan, burger-mu jadi idaman.

Wallpaper iPhone kau lawa.

Sila tukar casing iPhone kau tu. Jangan pakai glove Nike tu lagi. haha.

Selamat hari lahir ke 24.

A quarter of a century old...that's not old enough..that's very very old...

Zafarul Asyraf, Liverpool fan, Ahmad Zakiran and Firdauz

To Zafarul Asyraf :

Maybe you're wandering somewhere on Broadway, the 5th Avenue or Times Square right now. Wherever you are, i hope you realize you're 25=1/4 of century years old.

At 25, you're a walking piece of artifact, a historical piece of walking artifact. You're very old let me remind you of that.

Come back save, teach me how to cook, and let's all pray Liverpool will win the Premier League this season. It's your 'second' team, ain't that true?

Happy 25th Birthday.

Real Madrid>Barceclowna.

To Firdauz :

Do take note that i typed your name correctly with the Z at the back.

Let's prepare Coconut Jam/Spread (kaya) tomorrow morning.

Happy Birthday. Let's go Takraw!

You're 22. But you look older than me. Too bad.

24 is a ripe age for...

T-w-e-n-t-y f-o-u-r.

Helmi you're 24 tomorrow. And this will be the very, very last time you're gonna celebrate your birthday in Volgograd.

And tomorrow you're off to UK, so i'd better put this up beforehand.

Thanks for the memories Helmi. We travelled together, you were my naqib, we chatted a lot, shared secrets and bla bla bla.

This is so stereotypical.

Everyone has the knack of searching for you whenever they encounter minor and major glitches in their life. And i am one of them. Hoho.

Everyone wants a dose of conversation with Helmi. Well, since you're a son of a former psychology lecturer, it does amp up your reputation as the one who could understand problems that people face day by day.

I will usually tell you ,"Kau banyak pengalaman hidup Helmi, best la."

And you will stare me with much annoyance. Haha.

Now you're gonna say i'm crapping too much.

So happy birthday Helmi! May you have a prosperous life ahead. And don't forget to print those jerseys in UK if it is possible!

PS : Paediatrics is killing me.

Kolej Sultan Abdul Hamid : 1908-2008

Before the year ends, i would like to pay homage to the school which had given me so much.

For all the great memories i had and great friendships i forged.

For the 3 years of pure testosterone influenced behavior.

For the green field where we played football.

The teachers, who were very influential.

The Land Scout movement, the bad ass movement in our school.

For the nice neck tie which i still bring everywhere i go.

For those times wasted skipping class for the sake of marching.

For the great seniors who taught me about music, who later influenced the underground music scene in Malaysia.

Thanks for the memories.
