Stuff about myself

2005-08-16T04:32:00.000+08:00

lol. never thought i'll do these quizzes and such, but here i am. and now its my name and birthday's turns pulak.

You entered: Sharil Abdul Rahman (yes i am proud of my name, so?)

There are 17 letters in your name.
Those 17 letters total to 72
There are 6 vowels and 11 consonants in your name.

Your number is: 9

The characteristics of #9 are: Humanitarian, giving nature, selflessness, obligations, creative expression.

The expression or destiny for #9:
The expression that you exhibit is represented bythe number 9. Your talents center in humanistic interests and approaches. You like to help others as you were intended to be the 'big brother or big sister' type. You operate best when you follow your feelings and sense of compassion, and allow yourself to be sensitive to the needs of others. You work well with people, and have the potential to inspire. This suggests that you could successfully teach or counsel. Creative ability, imagination and artistic talent (often latent) of the highest order are present in this expression. It's possible that you're not using or developing all of these capabilities at this time. Some of your talents may have been used at an earlier time in your life, and some may still be latent. Be aware of your capabilities, so that you can make use of them at appropriate times.

If you are able to achieve the potential of your natural expression in this life, you are capable of much human understanding and have a lot to give to others. Your personal ambitions are likely to be maintained in a very positive perspective, never losing sight of an interest in people, and a sympathetic, tolerant, broad-minded and compassionate point of view. You are quite idealistic, and disappointed at the lack of perfection in the world. You have a strong awareness of your own feeling as well as those of others. Friendships, affection, and love are extremely important.

Undeveloped or ignored, the negative side of the 9 expression can be very selfish and self-centered. If you do not actively involve yourself with work that benefits others, you may tend to express just the opposite characteristics. It is your role to be very involved with other people and their needs, but it may be difficult for you achieve this role. Aloofness, lack of involvement, and a lack of sensitivity mark the low road of this expression.

Your Soul Urge number is: 8

A Soul Urge number of 8 means:
With an 8 soul urge, you have a natural flare for big business and the challenges imposed by the commercial world. Power, status and success are very important to you. You have strong urges to supervise, organize and lead. Material desires are also very pronounced. You have good executive abilities, and with these, confidence, energy and ambition.

Your mind is analytical and judgment sound; you're a good judge of material values and also human character. Self-controlled, you rarely let emotions cloud judgment. You are somewhat of an organizer at heart, and you like to keep those beneath you organized and on a proper track. This is a personality that wants to lead, not follow. You want to be known for your planning ability and solid judgment.

The negative aspects of the 8 soul urge are the often dominating and exacting attitude. You may have a tendency to be very rigid, sometimes stubborn.

Your Inner Dream number is: 11

An Inner Dream number of 11 means:
You dream of casting the light of illumination; of being the true idealist. You secretly believe there is more to life than we can know or prove, and you would like to be provider of the 'word' from on high.

World View

2005-08-12T11:56:00.000+08:00

You scored as Romanticist. Romanticism encourages society to look backwards to find our solutions. Your rationale is that things were much better a few hundred years ago so we should thus look back to those times and replace them in our modern society. You believe in a simple life and that the complexities of the modern world have turned it upside down.

Selfish times

2005-08-09T13:52:00.000+08:00

I had a me-day last saturday.

What's a me-day u ask? its a day for me. i'll go out, alone, drive around, go to a place, walking, enjoying myself without bothering other poeple. its a time to self reflect, recollect, explore yourself.

Sounds too phillosophical.

Anyhow, i went to KLCC ( both places) that saturday, just to check out stuff, and to check out the PC fair at the new venue.

Instead of walking in the bright sunlight, i opted to go to the convention center ( KLCC, KL city center, KL convention center, get it?) using the underground tunnel, as the photo above shows. And yes, its packed. With people. To the sides.

The place is huge. its like the same width of Suria KLCC, with space for ballrooms, meeting rooms, exhibition hall. There, while on the way to the PC fair itself, i took the following pictures. Hover for witty descriptions.

The size of the floorspace for this year's PC fair is like....to anybody who went to the previous pc fairs in pwtc, its like having two WHOLE PWTC PC fair side by side. To those who hasn't, well, imagine the length of suria KLCC's center court from Ramlee mall to the other side, about three storeys high. And to those who are from MMU, imagine if you pull all the classes in MMU, in cyber AND melaka, arrange it in the exhibit hall, there is STILL place for MPH AND Main hall to be inserted.

And the traffic, oh the TRAFFIC!....its like having the complement of the titanic, squeezed into the MPH. Let's say i was VERY glad when i went out.

There, i bought myself a tablet. End of story. :P

I also visited kinokuniya ( my vice >.<) and pruchased a couple of cussler books, which i promptly finished by the next day.....damn i love and hate my reading skills/passion.

After eating lunch, and walked around, i left to go back home to cyberjaya. While trapped in the usuall traffic jam infront of the KLCC, i took this pucture.

Heh. Interesting meet. Then i inched along the traffic, and saw another oppurtunity to take a nice picture.

Nice eh?.

When i was passing by bagi, i noticed that the haze surrounding the Putrajaya/Cyberjaya area is getting worse. I took this picture while i was driving.

Damn....the haze....

Anyway, this is my update for now.

Ciao.

The wanderer wonders.

2005-07-24T02:20:00.000+08:00

Am i hooked here?

For some reason i am having thoughts about a certain someone. And the weird part is, we never met before ( ok , we HAVE met, but its for a very brief period).

And yes, she's a she. i'm not going THAT direction thanks.

What do i feel about it? i dont know. i never had this kind of experience before. the closest i've been like this was when i have like a massive crush with a girl back in highschool, which i found out is more like a brotherly love than something that is couple-like.

I AM inexperienced. i am the sounding board for friends ( or me menyiibuk becoming one) , so i know how a relationship should be. or should not be. but, to experience the thing, never did it.

One thing about here is that she is not a typical girl. she is malay, wears a tudung yada yada. but she rather draw than shop, doodle than makeups, talk about anime rather than talk about senseless thing. i KNOW i cant draw ANYTHING to save my life or save the world ( god dont send sny benevolent beings that demands drawings from me, if not they take over the world or something), but i AM an anime nut.

maybe its something, maybe its not. i will take this slowly. see what is the outcome. if there's something, nice, if not, well, friends are always an option right?

and another yes, i am jelous seeing people around me, that i know, that i DONT know, having someone to share their dreams together, even for a little while.

me, signing off.

Harry Potter at the Bon Odori

2005-07-18T23:46:00.000+08:00

Last saturday was bon odori. THis will be my ...urm...3rd, or is it 4th bon odori i attended? anyways, we went in the EMINA bus , Cyber that is. but before that, earlier that morning, i was up and about early.

you see, i went out to collect my Harry Potter book.

Took a drive, with yong and ong following me, to Taman Melawati, to pick up my book. With minimal fuss i collected the book and proceeded to read the first chapter.

Woah. political. and then i turn to the last page. WTF???..

anyhow, after that i drove Yong and Ong to Low Yat as Yong's PC was making some trouble, again. we went to the shop he bought the pc and found out that the power supply is the gremlin in the engine room. to, after forking out some moolah, the power supply was changed. WHile waiting for that to be done, we went to Sg Wang as Ong, my OTHER housemate was looking for a digital camera. after countless turning ans ah-ing and ooh-ing, he settled on a Canon A400 camera, the same one as mine. and he had quite nice of a deal.

we went back to cyberjaya as we have the bus leaving for Bon odori soon.

With minimal fuss, the bus was loaded and off we go to Bon odori. we arrived just before the gate opened. and the first thing i saw was old ladies.

They were part of an early show for the early comers which also doubles as rehearsal.this year, i made a beeline for the food stalls as this is the place where some food are only eaten once a year.

after having my fill of the stuff they had, i took out my camera (with my bag falling out on me, a brand new bag no less) , and i took some nice pictures of people in yukatas.

This is my Ex-housemate, Fritz, wearing a hitsugaya ( i think that is the spelling)

This is my friend, Nadya, with her brother (ototou) and her sister (Imouto) in a set of yukatas.

then there, i ran into old friends, from melaka days, and new ones, from, well, melaka :P

From left:Fritz,Eileen,Nikki,Shu Yin,me,Yong,Yuhi.

From left:Nikki,Shu Yin,Eileen,Pablo(sorry, didnt catch your name..>.<)and Rizal.

and oh, just to show hiw big was the crowd that night, here's a photo (yes i know my hand shakes like hell. so? >.>)

This endth my longest post yet.

woah..anyhow. i had fun at BO, and i am in sadness over harry pottter...>.<

Mortality

2005-05-15T20:37:00.000+08:00

i thought this weekend was a normal going-back-home trip, with a wedding attendance on the side.

as a matter of fact, i saw my mortality almost going away in an instant.

i was in a car accident.

to those who experienced this often, check yourself if you are a safe driver or not.

it was the most horrifiying experience i ever had.

thank god me and my sister ( just took her back from tuition) is ok, other than shaken nerves.

the act of cutting lanes is dangerous. especially when you are in the rain-soaked roads of malaysia.

other than the fact that the fron of my car is totalled, i'm ok.

pictures if you are still curious:

i really thank god that i'm still alive.

Twilight?

2005-05-10T03:57:00.000+08:00

i cant imagine thinking about our twilight years. how are we gonna be? grumpy? sad? happy?

its only gonna be 4 or 5 more decades to that point in life...

anyway, here's some photos i took.

THis Photo i took while i was out for dinner with some of my friends. i like the prespective.

New lease on life?

2005-05-07T01:34:00.001+08:00

been feeling not bad lately, you know, no mood swings, no depression, no nothing

its a good thing?

anyhow, being the guy i am, i just changed my phone - again.

its now a SONY ERICSSON S700i

Phone Info

yes yes, uproar if you must. but its me people, so live with it. :P

anyhow, after i got the phone, i went out for dinner with Fritz and Afif (a yearbook personel) at KLCC. on the way back, we noticed that some weird cloud formations was....well, forming over KLCC. I dunno about Fritz, but i whipped out my phone camera ( notice the word placements) and took a couple of snapshots. pity its in low res - forgot to change it back to megapixel mode ( yes, its a 1.3 MP phone, but later ) .

the cloud was so low, the powerfull lights of the twin towers manage to light up the WHOLE cloud.

weird....for a moment there, i thought ID4 is happening in real life..

oh well, this is my life so far

cheerio!

Work life.....is tiring/long hours.

2005-05-04T10:23:00.000+08:00

i had my first thai massage yesterday.

for some weird reason...i'm getting sleepy.....

I'm ok....i'm ok people

2005-04-27T01:04:00.000+08:00

apparently my other half ( yes, sometimes i'm bi-polar) managed to type out the frustration that is inside me.

ok, so i am frustrated that my friends just got themselves a better half of themselves recently. i'm happy for them, but the frustration is still there. now time has passed by a bit, the frustration is not that severe, but i still wonder at night about my luck.....

anyhow, for this hols, I GOT A JOB X.X

yeah, i got a job at www.visualsolutions.com.my , a CRM ( customer relation management) software provider. gonna be attached to their technical service dept , so i'll probably be talking alot to customers and potential clients.

just hope no blunder is made while i'm there...>.<

*takes a deep breath...........releases it *

yep, i'm better now. at least i got somewhere to vent out my frustration than keeping it in ba tight bottle.

cheerio

Who am I in your eyes?

2005-04-17T20:21:00.000+08:00

What do you think about me?

really, what was your impression about me? am i a self-bitching bastard? a quiet guy, a loner? just wanna ask your honest opinion.

(self degrading rant ahead)

why did i feel so...unwanted today? i felt like i was the outsider, not connected to anybody. am i? an outsider? with out any connection whatsoever?

am i the guy who is seeked for stuff/service/help? i am not worthy to be seeked as a friend? and after i've been used, i'm to be thrown away like a piece of paper from a fancy toy? Am i viewed by the world in such manner? not as a person but as the dude who has the the thing that someone wants?

Will i ever be treated like this forever?

where is my huggable person? i could use a nice hug by now.....

life sucks

2005-04-15T05:35:00.000+08:00

another of my friend found love this week. before it was my friend in melaka.

i'm happy for you two .really

then a question comes to my mind - what about me?

am i doomed? to be alone?

am i too picky that i cant even find someone that i can......love back?

i dont know if the one for me is already RIGHT INFRONT of me. maybe i'm just too blind to notice?

i'm surrounded by friends, i;m thankfull for that. its just....everyday, mainichi, setiap hari, i feel something missing. its like a hole in the heart, gnawing me from within, threatening to destroy me if i dont fill that hole. what am i supposed to do?

yes i have a reprive, but is it good enough? even a friend i know who is like...the most bleh person in the world, has someone waiting for him, even if he do not know/want/care about the person.

what do i have? WHO do i have?

maybe in the end i'll just be alone. just surrounded by frineds and family. nothing more, nothing less.

what away to life , eh?

Freedom............................hountou desuka?

2005-04-14T16:34:00.000+08:00

woohoo! no more papers! i am free!!!................

......................
.....................
..................
.............
.......

ok, now what? what am i suppose to do?
i am truely stumped on what to do for the next two months.
i have plans to attend japanese classes, and maybe attepmt the JPLT one time or another, but other than that, what?

get a job? i am clueless in that part of the working world ( the getting job part)

stay home? ( Cempedak busuk anyone?)

Holiday? ( HAD a plan....but....all gone astray as schedules conflicts with each other)

sigh....i think maybe i'll use the weekend as a time buffer on deciding on what to do. Probably by monday i can get an inkling on what to do.

anyway, got this from Shun Fujiwara a.k.a. Furitsu a.k.a. Crazy d00d.

well, here i am, another blog yet again. i seem to go trough blogs like water.....

anyhow, i feel i need an outlet to say something somewhere someplace. will that be an insult to anybody?

let's see....

1. an exam paper in 30-odd hours...and i'm half prepared. is that a pretty picture?

2. my room's a mess....ok, what bachelor's room isnt a mess?

3. my life's a mess....weird sleeping time, weird sleeping habits, weird.

4. the fact that i'm just lonely?

5. holiday's are up soon, 2 months. what to do, what to do.

anyone out there knows how much does a shrink cost in malaysia? maybe i need one. i need someone to re-anchor my life. its getting miserable. the only reprive i have are anime, and maybe some tv show. i dont study, i keep to my room all the time, i eat less ( which is a GOOD thing tho) , i'm getting sick, what else?

i wonder, again and again, what are we doing here on earth? why are we here? is there a spesific purpose? to love someone? to be loved? to learn? to make a difference?

maybe i'm taking this the wrong way. maybe i should change MY perspective on life. if only someone could help me on that......
