Nigel Samson... May you rest in peace and pray for us here...

Last Friday when I called my mum, she told me that she and my dad got a invitation to commemorate the death of my good friend Nigel Samson at his dad's place at Taman Berjaya, Pulau Tikus. At once when I heard they were invited I told them to go on behalf of me. It's a year since he left us and yet I still am heavy hearted to visit his grave at Western Road Catholic Cemetery.

I got to know Nigel through church. He was a Serani like me but a little older than me by 16 years. He was like a senior in church mixxing with all the gorgeous looking Serani chicks I remember on Sundays. Also, another Xaverian (if not mistaken) and could be during the times of the later Brother Cashmir.

At weddings, he participated either at being the decorator or just joining in the choir singing joyful songs people sing during weddings.

Finally, early last year around Januray, I went clubbing with my childhood friend Bennett Lowe to Lush. There was only two of us while Nigel was there with his gang ( a large one that is). He came up to Bennett and chatted before I was introduced to Nigel Samson by Bennett. It was a moment of "Wow!" because Nigel was really a famous guy in kampung Serani at Pulau Tikus. He was soo friendly and as ussual cheeky poking me at my sides with his finger.

We lost contact for a while before I started meeting him again at C'Front(now known as Fever). He was the coordinator for the dancers at the club. Being typical Serani, hardworking and pefection is constantly on his mind. Not long after he became something of like a manager.

That was when he was doing well in life when suddenly his life ended. I still dunno why it happen to him and I dun really wanna know cause I lost a friend. Someone that I never knew for long, but during that short span of time we became good friends. I told him we click cause our fathers did click too(they are good friends till today even after 60years).

Nigel was murdered at Bayan Lepas( near the Penang airport). He was tied up and thrown into the river near the factories. His body was found a few days later.

I got a SMS from Jeremy Gomez of Penang and I was sooo damn shocked. I called up my friend, Tengku Nish, in Penang and she was also so sad by the story. So was I... nothing we could have done.

I could not attend his funeral but only read and looked at his photos in the Malay Mail. My parents were in KL at the time so neither of us could make it.

I learnt a lesson in life. Do what u want to do now before it's too late. Time will never come again. Nigel will never be drinking and fagging with me again. God bless you Nigel. Hope to meet you someday in God's kingdom. We can party like there's no tommorrow... heheh! Miss you bro!

Busy week!

Ouch... this week is certainly hectic. Exam on Wednesday! Computer Networks. The Checksum calculation is really killing me... depending on Azzuhry to teach me a thing or two. Thanks bro. Always can count on u! Then there's this lab test for Theory of Computing I am a bit worried about... haven't learnt much about this test in the classes. Dunno what's coming out but hoping for the best! So plan to learn it up with Ashe or Eddy. Dun worry... I'll teach u guys lar if I know anything!

This 23rd my driving license expires. Went just now to the photographer near my house(The Kodak Shop) to get instant pictures. I am not the waiting type... heheh! Somemore the date is drawing near so wanna get it done as soon as possible. Probably opt for the 2 year license. Less hassle I guess coz if not have to renew again next year.

Wow, turning another year older this year. The time of the year when I look back and think of what I've been through this year. Erm... I am not the regretting type of person so just gonna say it was 'ok'. Met a girl who I treasure dearly, got an MP3 player finally in my car after saving up, powered sunglasses(never wore sunglasses for the past 10 years!) and not forgetting the family and friends who have been there for me! Thanks guys! Looking forward to a better year and tackling those challenges at the tip of my fingers! Bring erm on! Optimism works for me... heheh!

Guys out there! Get ur hands on FHM this months issue. It's getting better seriously. From articles on how to dump ur gf to fashion tips! I am learning so much. And not forgetting those bar room jokes and those true stories! Are they for real? I got the magazine to fill the boring moments when I am too stressed out to study... hahah!

The Shiavo case on the internet really touched me. I mean I dunno what to decide. To remove the tube that has kept her living for the past 10 years or to retain it. She's still living but I can imagine the agony she's going trough. How can she suffer? But at the same time, she's alive! How can someone just pull the plug? Oh well, an interesting story in the U.S. that the decision to proceed now is in the hands of the higher courts. Let's pray for this person who is suffering in this state. Thank God to for the life we have. Though it may seem problematic but remember what this nice lady is going through...

My First Blog!

Hey people... Oh my God. Can you imagine me suddenly creating my own blog and posting. Well, it striked me that is kinda interesting to tell your friends and family about what's going on in your life. Yeah, most of us are geographically separated so find this the best way to inform people. I hope I do improve my grammar though with this new activity of blogging. I find that by posting we really try to use words and make use of the English grammar. Of course we don't use this words in our daily life but hey this is our chance here at blogspot.com ... Let us be Shakesphere..... muahhahahaha!

Adoi.... I am like so busy studying for finals which is on the early weeks of April. This is exactly what I am gonna do this weekend people. Yup, just round the corner... The hardest is Theory of Computing... Very conceptual and a thinking subject rather than Computer Networks and Resource. No excuse to think less of these latter subjects. They are equally as hard... Trust me... I am in MMU!

Everyone's been talking about the new Malaysian production movie Sepet. Sadly it's release is rather limited here as Malacca does not show it. I am sure other states like KL and Penang have it. Then the roadside 'VCD boys' also dun seem to have them in their selection. Oh well, hope I bump into it sooner or later. Heard reviews of it so that what spurred me in my search for this movie.
