Although most of the time, I m just too scared to reflect back on my past, because I was just too afraid that I missed the chance to savour on the good things that happened, and also think of better things I could have done during my free time. But instead I chose not to blog. So there wont be a need for any reflection.

But yesterday deserves this.

I would never have thought that being on the receiving end of a birthday surprise actually felt THIS way. Its hard to explain how THIS feelings was, or is. From a perfectly picked spot, the bunch of friends chosen, it just couldn't be any better.

Okay its getting abit annoying here. I still in my stunned mode, so I wont be updating the details this week. But these people, deserves my utmost gesture. A very very big thank you to those who made it happened.

Hakim, Din and Fir for the meaningful presence, and ESPECIALLY for the Cadbury chocolates, the book, the Picard, the cake, of all which you claimed were from the tree of you. Thanks eh!!

Sofia, for getting involved in everything that you did. Running around the tampines mall with naza I heard? Whoaaaa. (Well, many many many months ago, you told naza not to get close to me, so now, after yesterday, we’re even yea? Hahaha. Joking,)

Aaron – It was your birthday yesterday and my apologies for stealing the limelight away. But thank you for very very much for being there!

And also to all who got yourself into the book, - hakim jaafar, ida dayana, azfar, lyana, din, firdaus, nuraidah, nazneen, azeemah, raihanah, Hussein, hazirah and hazimah, AFIFAH MUNIRAH.

And nazaratul farhana? She deserves an entry of its own.

(hopefully when im much compose, there'll be edits)

The Dark Knight ( aka Batman Begins 2) release date is on 18th july. A perfect birthday month for me. I really cant wait for it but the only disappointment is that the cute looking rachel dawes (katie holmes) will be replace by some old looking lady. Tsk.

Oh. And the main actor for the Dark Knight (Christian Bale) is also starring in Terminator 4. haha. i just find it funny

POSTED BY FIRDAUSKASSIM AT 11:59 AM

it always take something special to trigger an entry from me. not that im saying my entries are always special. just that, i find it difficult to blog purely because i dont want to waste the civilian time i had. ah. civilian time. talking about it, something happened yesterday. nothing interesting actually. perhaps the right word to describe, would be 'odd'. because apparently, i was in cineleisure the day before with the girlfriend playing Counter Strike. yep. incase the font is too misleading, i'll repeat it and bold it. the girlfriend played counter strike with me. hahahhaha. it's funny because of 3 things. i've never played LAN games before. 2, So does the girlfriend. and thirdly, because of the first two points, it makes our first time playing counter strike together.

it was alright, but still not enough to convince me why there are people who would play for hours. girlfriend couldnt last either. she complained of dizziness and throw up few times. oh well.

it's noon and i've got nowhere to go. naza's finishing work any minute now and im feeling hungry. but no, this doesnt equate to lunch-ing together. i just feel like staying home.

to any interested friends, SISPEC life has been going much and much better. despite their endless field camp, SEVERELY lack of sleep, i think im starting to like it because my bunk mates are worth making lifetime friends with. i miss BMT life, but sispec is a different ball game altogether. im definitely going to miss it when i pass out in 2 weeks. 2 weeks!!!

okay here are the list of people whom i havnt been cathing up with.

tawfik
nizam
zul
haziq
azfar
fadhly

fir
hakim
din
hussein
emi

ida dayana
azeemah
nuraidah

when time permits.

POSTED BY FIRDAUSKASSIM AT 11:58 AM

so apparently, i have received alot of comments saying that they have to resort to reading the girlfriend's blog to know how im doing. (and girlfriends bugging me to blog)

well here i am. good. breathing in afifah's used clothes, in front of the comp, in my mum's room. refreshing, considering i've been outfield alot these days. cultured shock. less sleep, higher expectation, more effort. and i thought recruit's days were bad.

oh well. its all about getting used to the system.

I'm off for a vacation. Somewhere offshore. I'll see you people in a couple of weeks.

POSTED BY FIRDAUSKASSIM AT 6:50 AM

time and time again, i would open a notepad, write a little, and without finishing the thoughts i was planning to pen down, i would dump the book aside. it is quite worrying for the fact that i always wanted to be a journalist someday, and although i have something that most people dont at this current point of time - the luxury of time wastage- i dont seem to find a good way to fully utilise it.

ambition
the dreams are looking realistic, now that i've got a response from one of the local sports magazines to send a sample article of my own writings. flattered? yes. delectate? very much. for the thoughts of being close to realise my dream is always flusterring.

procastinating?
lazy?
now until i can break those bad habits, i will forever be here, doing my normal blogging rounds. unpaid.

now, they are quite a few people whos harrassing me (consider me nice for not using relentless words than that.hah) to put up an entry. girlfriend excluded, surprisingly. and like i told the girlfriend yesterday, i have so many things to write about in mind, issues to discuss and share. but on temporary form, i dont have the passion to milk out points from a topic and sensationalise them. so this is as far as i go.

i wonder how nuraidah and ida are doing right now.

what is the different between Steve Nicol and Syed Hussein?

not much apparently.

Heres an extract of n interview with Roy Evans and i quote...

Q: Looking back at you career, you worked with so many characters, but who was the funniest?

A: Steve Nicol. In his early days there were some gems. Everything he said he got wrong. Everything he did he got wrong, but on the pitch he was fantastic. Alan Hansen, Souey and Kenny used to wind him up something rotten.

Thus, from those quote, i hereby dedicate this entry to you Hussein.

Aku sayang kau lar Hussein!!! Takde kau, life is hundred times boring.

Ahhh. Fuck it. Life goes on.

i know its late. but stand up as people and how do i by lee ryan keeps replaying in my head (and the pc). okay i shant proceed to say how soothing his voice is, cos i think its wide obvious.

and officially, im left with less than a month to appreciate my pink IC before i have to surrender them. NS is due very soon, though its never the best to forgo my almost-daily-meet-up-the-girlfriend routine, im quite looking forward to experience the next stage of life.

National Service: Where boys become men?

We'll find out.

been said that love is unparalleled. such is the value that we are very careful with the word; not be careless verbally, used only on certain moments, special time, and at the right occasion. and believe me, when come those moments, its electrifying - everytime.

im on a roll right now

POSTED BY FIRDAUSKASSIM AT 2:12 PM

i dont know where to start. so heres a couple of pictures, just so you're assured, that im still alive. and breathing.

POSTED BY FIRDAUSKASSIM AT 12:49 PM

there are more things in life than football. yes. you're here, at firdaus kassim's blog, and i did write the first sentence sincerely. no agenda whatsoever. i decided to visit some random bookstore in few malls, and instead of doing my usual rounds to the Sport's/Football/ Biography (its only uselful to look for footballer's biography) sections, i made a detour to the self-improvement department. to be honest, i wished was rich. or even more. there were vast amount of books which i really want to bring home. how nice. i needed things to do at home. no more tuition. no more schools. jobless. literally. no plans to seek for any new job. or anything like that. so imagine the life i'm having at home. no, really. don't dream of being in my shoes. you'll dread, if your lucky. dead if your not. boredom. bleargh.

nazaratul farhana. everyday's highlight. and movie at 6 later. cant wait. meanwhile, right now, i'll be making another trip to Times. to find books on surviving boredom.

cheers

POSTED BY FIRDAUSKASSIM AT 1:11 PM

each time i feel like blogging, it will continually be the time when im nowhere near the comp. always. the phrases strung together at that moment would be perfect, i thought. i dont write those thoughts down. never did. and when i finally got my hand on the pc, i either lost those thoughts or just plain lazy to blog.

ohhh. then theres this feeling in me about blogging as well. that the blog content will actually ruin whatever is plan in the future for me. like im tempting fate. insecure. or anxious, however you see it. or perhaps, im worried that it'll be like doing self reflection on every days event. and having regrets afterwards. thus explain why im not keen in looking back and blog.

the vicks inhaler hasnt been out of my sight for the last 18 hours. its addictive. very. and i've got the girlfriend to thank for that, who has been a very bad influence. hahaha.

and on a random note, i wish to say how fortunate i am to be blessed with an elder sister like mine. i do hope you are reading this, from somewhere, anywhere. i love being around her.

so love life is fine. and the girlfriend's brilliant. it's early days yet but im being optimistic over anything. and everything. in fact i couldnt find any other superlative to use here. how accurate could i describe the feeling right now? well, people who dont envy my life right now, should. okay now go on and hate me. haha.

i love naza.

The Girlfriend and I

i do not know why my blogging approach changed drastically. compare. the old blog, or even old entries do have story of my daily life. nowadays, i dont quite understand, or rather, have yet to analyse why im always hesitant whenever it comes to reproducing a synopsis of my everyday life here. cautious. which you can hardly blame me for.

and im desperate. i want to blog but i just couldn't find the right words to continue. stop.

and finally. a picture, to fill up empty spaces here.

POSTED BY FIRDAUSKASSIM AT 3:46 PM

and how can i stand here with you

and not be moved by you

would you tell me, how could it be

any better than this
