Hey!

So.

I haven't had the chance to fully re-cap what has been going on lately. This will take a while.

Well, obviously Ramadhan has ended. But this time around it happen to be the most significant Ramadhan in my life (and others, nonetheless).

1. The Tak Bai Massacre.

2. The U.S Presidential Elections (Which saw Mr. Bush reigning the office yet again. Will there be a follow-up to Fahrenheit 9/11? Will it be named Celsius 7/11?).

3. The passing of an icon that is Yasser Arafat (Al-Fatihah).

4. SevenCollar T-Shirt released their sophomore album Drones.

5. My dismissal from UiTM.


Yeah. Pretty dramatic ain't it?

I wouldn't want to 'unleash' all the nitty gritty details but it's safe to say that I've made an appeal, and will start tuition on Monday so I could get a head start if my appeal receives the nod.


Now.

Right. How's my Raya you ask? It's one of the most relieving moments I've ever had in recent years. Going back to JB was a brilliant escapade. Seeing my nieces and nephews all grown up, running around in haphazard patterns chasing each other's shadows, hearing their laughs and high-pitched screams whenever a horror/ghost flick is on is nothing but therapeutic. It'll be a cliche if I were to claim that they've remind me of how's life suppose to be lived. But they did just that.

I just got back from campus yesterday. Squatted there for 4 days (including last Thursday and Friday) hanging out with the guys for (possibly) the last time. Went beraya at Afiq's on Tuesday. Not only did I fill my vacant tummy, I bagged 6 brilliant track off of The Dissociatives debut courtesy of Kazaa. Back in the block, Boy has yet again failed to disappoint me. He always made sure that the goods kept on coming. Thanks to him I'm now a proud owner of The Times' Soda Pop Rok 'N' Roll days before it hits stores nationwide (it was released on November 30th) , Head Automatica's Decadence, Interpol's Antics, The Velvet Teens' Out Of The Fierce Parade and a compilation of various unreleased materials, and cool video clips/live footage from Sparta, Head Automatica, My Chemical Romance and Death Cab For Cutie. I'm gonna miss trading music files with you, bro.


It's been a while since I met Fuzzy. We didn't even met while I waste my (possibly) last days in Bote. So I spent the last night there trading heartfelt text with her. I think we're being ridiculously sad and all as if we won't be seeing each other anymore but it was, sad.

Thanks to these guys, this is perhaps, the best summation of what I really want to say to my Bote mates.

The Boohoorah Theory - SevenCollar T-Shirt

Hey friends,
Don't you know,
I'm alive and well...

Don't you worry,
I'm not sorry about,
Anything I've done...

I'm not taken aback...

I'm not worried,
Don't feel sorry about,
Anything...

I'm not looking for sympathy...

I'm not looking for sympathy...

I'm not looking for sympathy...

In my silence,
I have learned...

In my silence,
I have learned...

I have learned...


Shhhh...

Fuh. That's that. I'm out. Catch you guys later.
