Deeper in the pitfall.....there goes my hero..

That's it. i'm just tired of waiting and hoping. A nil-nil draw against Arsenal, while the blues continued on with their 8th consecutive winning streak, have just made themselves look really bad sliding deeper in the pitfall of hell. And it certainly made me look and feel bad, overwhelmed with frustration.

Where is my Hero?

But to do them some just, and to be square with myself at the same time, they were in some very hard times back then when i started supporting the team at the age of 8 late in the 80's. Yeah, that's the time when the bloody scousers cladded in their famous and legendary "Candy" red jersey ruled the league. But i was there still, marching on, until they finally made their breakthrough as one of the main contenders on the top flight against the Reds. Yes, indeed i still remember that time. 1992-1993, the year i was circumcised (hehehe), and the year when Johor won the Malaysian Cup during the Semi-pro era, and it was the year of the awakening of the Red Devils. It was the year of glory, and glory. I celebrated manhood with pride back then.

And so, i know the time will come, again. When they will form the same marching as they did in 1993, like they always do. The ripple of periodic change in the Premiership climate will keep on propagating, to which there is no end in the cycle. The Red Devils will rule again........

Nevermind the Hazatsu: More Songs

The time comes again for me to upload more of our band's songs. But before that, i would like to thank you all who spared some time sampling our songs from the previous posts and left some very constructive comments here. I know some ppl thought that the comments left here are just too negative (nonetheless, its really sweet of you to back me up sis). But i just want to make a point here that "no comment or critic is unacceptable, as how no idea is a bad idea". It's all the matter of different point of views. Probably this doesn't make much sense to you all, but let's just say one should know there is a bold line between giving comments to ideas and condemning ideas. The latter is totally unacceptable.

Well, all the yapping aside, here is the song that i wanna share. Its called "Mimpiku". Yup, its a malay song. Wrote this song more than a year ago i think. But dont worry, i dont think its like one of those typical rock kapak malaysian songs. Definitely not that kind of material (i hope not!!)

# Song: Mimpiku #

Ok, this time i've decided to put up another song. The next song is called "Shelter" and its one of our earliest songs, back when the band was a 2 piece band (me and Jon) and was known as "The Wilkinsons". Hmmm, those were the days. Check it out.

# Song: Shelter (acoustic) #

Well, that's all for now. There are loads of others songs that we wrote, but i'll put it up here one by one. Once a month maybe? Well whatever it is, please do leave a feedback or two. Really appreciate that!

===========================================================================


Again, Jon has produced another nice photography artwork (Jon is the bassist of our band btw). I think it's worth to be published here for the world to see. Good job Jon, keep it up.

Entrepreneurship Seminar, Manchester.

Winter holiday started and most of my local frens rushed home to spend Christmas with families. And as for me and the rest of the Malaysian ppl, we headed up north to Manchester to attend a Seminar on Entrepreneurship, sponsored by MARA. Well, its pretty hard to resist free Malaysian food and mingling around with successful and famous business men and women. Hehe. But seriously, i went there because of the knowledge to gain and the fact that each of us will get our own room in a classy hotel. Atleast i know this year i spent my winter holiday in a productive way for the first time. It was fun and informative altogether. The event was held for 3 days and 2 nights. And we had to wear formal attire. Alas, this gave my Lounge Suit the chance to get out of the closet for the 3rd time in 4 years. Despite, it still fits me like a glove.

There were around 80 ppl from all over UK who attended this event. Most of them i dont already know. What can i say, been here for 4 years, and most of the people from my era have graduated and went back home. But i still managed to get to know most of the ppl at the seminar and made a couple of new frens. To my surprise the seminar was quite fun. We were divided into groups and were suppose to form our own business organisations. Yeah, we had to go against each other in a business simulation where they stole most of the ideas from the reality TV show "The Apprentice". The aim was so that we apply the so called "entrepreneurship" skills and knowledge taught to us in the real world, or so they claimed. As for me, it was just nice to get out of Sheffield after a looong semester.

Noise & Confusion:Winter Rock Festival 2005.

10th December 2005, Millenium Stadium, Cardiff, Wales. It was definitely one day worth remembering. I know someone working at BBC Radio Sheffield who got 2 free tickets to the ultimate Rock Festival of the year but sadly she couldn't make it. Fortunately for me, she offered me the tickets. Yeah at the very last minute, like 2 days before the actual concert. Thanks a lot Susan, you're the best.



So i called up a fren at Cardiff, Zarir and asked him to join me, and took the morning train to South Wales the very next day. Yeah its a huge annual event, "Noise & Confusion 2005". The line-up this year was: Yeti, Nic Amstrong and the Thieves, The Subways, Razorlight, The Coral, Foo Fighters and Oasis. To be honest, the only band that i really wanna see live is Foo Fighters. Gosh, they are definitely my Rock idol.


The concert started at noon, all the way till midnight. And we had to stay in the Millenium Arena for almost 12 hours. Its a national stadium with retractable roof. By day it hosts the famous FA Charity Shield games et al, and by night it converts into europe's largest indoor arena. Luckily we had the seated tickets. We were miles away from the stage of course, but the view was alright and there were 2 big screens infront. So we didn't miss much.



My pals in the states told me how great the Foo Fighters are when they are playing live. Damn were they right about it. The songs they played were totally out of this world, definitely an elaboration from the ones u hear in the albums, far better. And the performance was explosive!! Seriously, Kurt Kobain didn't die in vain, but died for a reason afterall. And the reason is Dave Grohl....




The above are the pictures of Oasis playing as the headliner of the day. Gosh, the Brit crowd went absolutely nuts!!! They were jumping and screaming and splashing booze everywhere. I do enjoy listening to them and their songs, but not a huge fan. The performance was at par, thanks to the flamboyant stage lighting, but aside from that, they were just ordinary and nothing to shout about. But i particular admire the calm and coolnest that the Gallagher brothers have in performing. Its like as if u are watching them in a video clip. The arrogant and bad-boy look on their faces, not the mention the attitude they possess, it sure bring pride to the fans and win their hearts.

Most of the other bands were great too, esp The Subways and Razorlight. But i think i should give extra credit to the The Subways' trio. They sounded very solid for a 3 piece band, with a female bassist. Their performance was nearly as explosive as the Foo Fighters and the Oasis. Such a magnitude of confidence, i bet they can go really2 far. And i love their songs too. Very unique. They're the kind of songs that you have to hear over and over again to really enjoy it. overall it was hell of a day. The largest and definitely the best concert i've been too.....

Nevermind The Hazatsu

Yup, the title above is the name of our band. But hold on there, i am not gonna go to all the trouble of writing about how and why we came out with that name. Let's just leave it at that for the moment. Then again, i kinda like that name. :-)

I think its about time i announce the band's current line up:

Nevermind the Hazatsu
M : vocal
Jon: Bass guitar
Wynn: Rhythm guitar, Vocal
Farid: Drums
Izzy: Lead guitar, vocal

hmmm, lame.......

Anyway, we haven't got that much time to get together for our ritual jamming session that often nowadays. yeah everybody seems to be busy with work and everything. Really annoying. I can't stand it. My hands are shaking in anticipation for our next session. Can't wait (though i dont know when that'll be).

Like i said in the previous post, we managed to record some of our original materials. And i think i've just got enough free time to upload one song and share it with the world here. Check it out below and please drop in some feedback, really appreciate that. Ouh, the song is called 'Break Myself'. Enjoy..

# song: Break myself #

Wanna share another picture. Edited by Jon. Its a picture of me and my flatmates. All 8 of them. Yup, you heard me, there are 9 of us living under one roof: 15 Wilkinson Street. But its not too bad really, there's plenty of space in the house. And it has 7 rooms altogether. Btw, some of them are at home on weekends only. So the house is never too crowded or anything.

Been a long time again ay chap?

Yes, as usual, my excuse for a late update is "i've been busy with school and stuff". Yeah. But i know i need to really give more time for this blogging thing, i mean i do enjoy it, and it really sooth out the stress away from my rib cage, well, to some level of course.

Anyhow, i would like to really thank those of you who visited this blog since my last entry. I'd never figure that anybody would actually spend time reading this thing once and then come again at later time expecting an update, which never really happen that often. (well i do promote this site a lot, :P LOL)

Some ppl have been inquiring a lot about more of our band's songs, esp after "acquiring" the so called complete studio-quality-recording equipment and all. To be honest, we don't really have too much time for recording too, although we manage to record a few songs so far. But then again, i'll try to share the songs as soon as possible. Really soon. I promise.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Just wanna share 2 snapshots of me at barry island, south wales. It is the only "beach" that i've been to during my whole 3 and a half years in UK. What a loser. Let this be a reminder for me to get out of Sheffield more often. So help me God......Hehe. Enjoy!!!

Barry Island 2002 2003. The first encounter.

Barry Island Revisited 2005. Same ol' spot.

Locked and Loaded: Our own recording studio atlast..

After months of waiting, we are now able to record all of our songs (most songs written by me!! haha!) in a studio quality recording. Yup, our first album is 9 months overdued (oopppss..) but hey, i guess it is worth the wait. I mean what's the purpose of recording songs that turn out crappy when u play it back right?; we need to have a proper recording equipment.

Studio rental aside, we opted to acquiring our own gadgets, and 2 days ago, after months of fund raising, we ordered a cool complete hardware/software recording studio equipment. And yesterday the package came, and we hurriedly tested it with a spontaneous song, yes the one that is playing below. Awesome sound ay? We merely record and did a bit of layering. God knows how good the sound can get after proper editing and mixing. But dont mind the song quality though, just the sound quality. And ehem, excuse the vocalist, we wasn't even singing lyrics. It was all mumblings and hummings.......

Ouh a blessed Ramadhan so far.......

It's the 8th of Ramadhan today and so far our fasting month has been really great. The fact that we are all guys and that we live in UK, doesn't hinder our ability to produce some very savoury Malaysian dish and delicacies. We missed Malaysian food so much (particularly those sold at Pasar Ramadhan) that we worked hard to find the ingredients needed for our daily "buka puasa" meals. Some of the stuff that we've cooked so far:

1. Main dish- Ayam masak black pepper, Ikan bakar chilli asam, Nasi beriani johor, Mee Bandung Muar, Mee hoon and keuy teow goreng, Top-side Steak, Nasi Paprik, Telur bungkus patani and the list goes on....
2. Side dish and desserts - Jemput2 pisang, Po Piah, Manggo Lassi, Puddings and jellies, pengat pisang, bubur jagung, bubur pulut hitam, etc etc.........

But,...........

Although it is true that during Ramadhan we are all blessed with rezeki, there are still some muslims in other parts of the world that are less fortunate than us. Almost every year, when Ramadhan comes, some groups of muslims suffer from war, natural disaster and starvation. So it is a test for us to take appropriate actions as muslims to help the less fortunate by offering sadakah and doa. Let us not be carried away by the wealth and well being that God has given us, but to use it for the benefit and well being of the whole muslim community and human race.

Approaching "The Day After Tomorrow" : T-minus 30 years....

Recently, global warming and its corresponding causes and effects have become a major discussion issue worldwide. It influence the earth's natural cycle, which affect human directly; Universities everywhere are racing each other in producing the latest forecast and papers, fights and debates amongts politicians have become more intense, and europeans have never enjoyed summer as much for the past 3 years.

"The Day After Tomorrow" is really going to be a reality afterall, with global warming left to be blamed for all the terrible natural disaster occuring for the past 3 years. We have almost reach the pinnacle of earth's sustainability towards global warming, where the melting of the north pole's glasiers has become an irreversible process. With the rise of sea level and temperature, hurricanes have become more frequent and fierce. But too bad the names given to them i.e. Katrina, Rita and Stan, do not convince us enough of their danger.

It is said that after 100 years, the entire north and south pole caps will melt away. But i bet we don't need to wait until then to witness the total climate change or whatever. If u ask me, i'll give our earth another 30-40 years before it unleash its wrath and madness towards mankind who are entirely responsible for global warming at the first place.

What's worse is that, some smart ass scientist forecasted that the Asian monsoon will be the first tipping point for climate change due to global warming. Funny that he mentioned that after the back to back hurricanes visited the America continent for the past few months. But i guess it'll be nice to have snow in Malaysia, assuming that is how the climate is going to change.

But believe it or not, man have never seize away from the desire to play god: cloning, deciding who lives and dies, The Sims games and now they intend to develope a Man Made Hurricane, well actually it has already been developed and available to the market. I particularly love the design and innovation. hehe.

Tired but still running.

I know, it's been ages since my last post and it seems like every entry so far has been posted at a very irregular and long time interval, not to mention the lack of substance in its contents.

But hey i am working on it. I actually have zillions of things and thoughts that i wanna share with the world here, but then again i never quite have the time to sit down properly and indulge myself in a long blogging rally.

The truth is, i am almost never at home; i work outstation on weekdays till the start of next term, which is only 2 weeks from now!!! Well, what exactly is my job? well its temp job, on different sites all around the UK. To be politically correct, i am a 'mantainance technician'. Yeah, i do mantainance job at student accomodations. Dull yeah i know, but heck, it pays very2 well.

Sometimes at work i do imagine myself sitting at my desk, in my room infront of my pc, with my pj on, a mug of fresh coffee beside me, digging myself to the keyboard and pour my heart out here. I am craving for it. I miss my life as a student. I wanna be home for long.

That day will come i know, and next week will be my last job-week. And i'll have a week break before my first lecture. I can't wait. i can't wait. I'll just hope i'll have sumthing more interesting to write by that time. have to go now.

Replications of Annoyance

Abang Bib's Bobbq !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It was Sunday and the weather was great; the sun was shining with shady clouds and intervals of gentle breeze of Sheffield's valley wind.

We took advantage of the great weather and held our second barbeque this summer, this time it was sponsored by abang bib!! haha, yup, it was great. Our backyard was once again packed with ppl.

I have to admit, this time it was more grand and happening. Loads of ppl showed up,. some i dont recognise at all, can't believe they are all from sheffield. Sumtimes i just wonder, am i that anti-social? Ouh whatever. What's worse, i dont even have the decency to go mingle around with them and get to know them and all. Most of them are new here in Sheffield. But what the heck,. i was too busy cooking and stuff. The bee-hoon goreng were particularly delicious thanks to me.

Overall it was a great day,. very tiring but all worthwhile i guess. Can't wait till next summer!!! it sux here coz coz have to wait till summer. Kat mesia lagi senang bebiler boleh buat bbq, lagi2 tepi pantai,. syok giler!

Crack my brain open...what's cooking inside?....

I just woke up. Had a terrible dream. I'm starving (but fortunately sober from last night's shisha fume)and i need a clean break. I think this is the first entry with sumthing about myself. I hope it'll be the last one, coz i dont really like writing about what's going on with me and what's playing in my mind. Yeah right izzy, then who asked you to create this blog at the first place ay? One smack on the back of my head please.

Anyway, i visited my frenster page just now after a very long time. Got some msges and even testimonials. Talking about testimonials, i really dont understand why ppl give ridiculous testimonials to each other? Ok there are some who write poetry and funny stories as testimonials, and there are the type that love to create "beautiful" drawings using symbols and finally those who use the testimonial column as a "tag board" or shout out box where they leave messages to their friends. Heck!!! What's wrong with these ppl? i mean dont get me wrong, i have nothing against u guys and some of the things that were sent to me were actually nice, but it totally defeat the purpose of that testimonial column la.

So the next time you log on to your frenster and u wanna msg someone, just use the send msg function. If u wanna share funny stories or other kind of article (poetry etc) use the bulletin board and if u wanna send thoughtful pictures or drawing, just email it to your fren. There easy. And please, spare the testimonial column to its own function; to tell others what you think of that fren of yours.

Ouh btw, the picture actually depicts my passion for cooking and creating my own recipes. Muahaha. What a fag.....

The launch of the new 1 and 3 series have said it all - BMW is moving slowly to the younger and more average, fashion-victimised middle class drivers with limited income (yeah you can say 'kiasu'). While positioning their two mentioned products to such market segment, they are aware of the stupidity that hovers around those ppl's minds.

Bearing that in mind, they opt for the economy of scales and sales by installing cheap 2nd-rate-material car parts, esp the interior. On top of that, the engines have been downgraded, having less power and 'kick'. But the real blow is, they maintain their high premium price tag to the cars, making them the most expensive family hatchback (1 series) and mini saloon (3 series) around (as far i know, i might be wrong).

So why are these people soo eager to buy these cars? i mean if its the 5 or 7 series, and maybe the M and z4 roadster, i can understand, coz their quality is top notch. But the 1 and 3 series? Bah! there are many other better cars in the same range out there, much better in terms of quality and value for money.

There are 2 resons for this: (1)The sculptic body and exclusive look of the 1 series and the stylish, sporty and edgy look of the new 3 series. (2)The prestigious BMW badge.

Ok so they have the look and the brand... so what. To me, the new Volkswagen Golf and Golf Plus are more 'Handsome' ( the most handsome car for me) and they are super powerful for such a compact car with excellent car parts quality, similar to Lexus cars. The price is almost the same as the 1 series but still resoanably competitive and a bargain is u ask me (its either a 1.8 or a 2.0 litres!).

So, think twice before you buy those cars yeah!! (X3 and X5 are another examples of bad cars: offroads that can never quite go off the road.)

But BMW does produce some very cool action short films though. Watch them, they are really cool, esp if u are a Z roadster and Clive Owen (King Arthur, Sin City) fan.

Wilko-Rista Coffee Shop
Wilkinson St's Own Barista Station....




Days can be long in Sheffield. The weather is unforgiving and streets are always congested. And for the entire city’s bustling streetway allure, for all of its history and motion, sometimes it can be just too overwhelming, too much to take without a few moments of calm. And for students eager to regroup and reflect after a long day of lectures without retreating to their halls of residents, such moments can be had at the closest coffee shop – for free.

Located at 15 Wilkinson Street, Wilko-Rista is a simple coffee shop that provides free coffee drinks to the local student community. Set up under a modest and serene environment, this coffee shop is the first of its kind to be built along the street and have been operated for 2 weeks, where I happen to be one of the founders.

The history of Wilko-Rista dates back to the time when me, my new flatmate Ahmad Khairuddin Abdullah (we call him Mr M), and the rest of my new flatmates were spring cleaning the house in June 2005. It came to cleaning the kitchen when we stumbled upon this awesome looking ‘Morphy Richards’ espresso machine hidden deep inside a cabinet. It was believed that the machine was once owned and left by the previous tenant 2 years ago. Me, being a very keen coffee drinker, along with Mr M who is an absolute coffee enthusiast excitedly took the machine for inspection and testing (while ignoring sceptical and dubious glances from the other guys).

To our delight, it brews coffee perfectly well, producing somewhat authentic, thick and savoury espresso with full flavour end. Despite its age, the machine didn’t require any work, apart from a thorough cleaning. It is a pump driven espresso and cappuccino coffee machine, with swivel steam-jet milk frother. Given its specification, the machine is perfect for making a wide range of espressos, café lattes and cappuccinos based coffee beverages.

But the excitement didn’t end there. It took a while before Mr M modestly revealed that he was professionally trained in the art of coffee making, and used to be a ‘Barista’ at Gloria Jean’s, Mount Kiara. We were all impressed. Well, that explains his talent and ability to brew and pour excellent coffee using the machine, not to mention having an outstanding knowledge in the field. No wonder.

Having the same passion for coffee, Mr M and I simultaneously came up with a coherent idea of providing quality coffee to our friends using a ‘coffee shop’ concept. We charge our customers nothing for the service; after all, we got the machine for free. Both of us are more motivated by the lust and madness for coffee – Mr M is addicted to making coffee drinks and can never stop until he can pull the perfect pour, while me, I can never get enough of coffee to drink and always in the pursuit of trying out all sorts of coffee blend. Hence, with a little capital invested from our own pockets for the coffee beans, Wilko-Rista was born.

Wilko-Rista offers espressos, café lattes and cappuccinos made from a wide range of coffee beans and blends. Currently the shop has a small stock of Pure Arabica Beans (Sumatran, Guatemalan Maragogype, Dark Roasted Italian, Continental Blend), flavoured coffee blends (Kenyan Cinnamon, South American Hazelnut, French Chicory) and a limited supply of cocoa powder for mocha lovers.

So far, customers have given good feedbacks and support to the shop. On average, the shop consumes up to 150grm of coffee beans a day, yielding around 15- 20 servings of regular espresso. One of the most regular customers, Mr Najmi, when asked why he likes the shop so much, replied: “Well, its all because of its friendly staff, unmatched drink quality and a service style that is casual and welcoming. But above all, it’s free!” Another customer, Juweng, said “I don’t really drink coffee, but since I live nearby, it’s really hard to resist the aroma from the ambient air. Besides, I really like to hang out there and socialise.”

At a very young age, Wilko-Rista has gained much popularity around the neighbourhood, and therefore we are expecting a very significant increase in “sales” by next semester. With the vision we have, it is hoped that the shop will continuously evolve and develop by introducing new products and customer services. Mr M and I have drawn out plans to acquire additional equipment and soon customers may enjoy chill-brewed coffee and ice blended coffee.

But will the coffee still be free by then? ……I seriously doubt it. But hey, its gonna be worth it!


**Some of you might think this is a joke and that we are poyo. But try visit our shop first, and see it for yourself....

Somebody went to..... and all i got was.....

nmnm
Somebody went to Amsterdam, and all i got was......


.........This super awesome joint!........................And 1 minute later.........

Somebody also went to Belgium, and all i got was......


........This posh box of chocolates!.......................And 1 minute later......


** Thank you wani for those wonderful gifts!!! (but one joint ain't enough la!)

Give and ye shall receive!!!

Been more than a week since this blog was last updated and people have been complaining, some even called me "poyo". Give me a break please, the truth is, i just came back from a very long and tiresome vacation and the first thing in my list is to have a good night sleep on my own bed. Gosh i was soo homesick only god knows. Maybe if u guys leave some comments on my previous postings, i'd be more motivated to write. Ok ok. The next posting is due in a few hours, if nothing happens by then, somebody please kill me.

Youngest police officer in the world maybe?

I think india is the only country that recruits a 5 years old police officer and put him to full-scale duty. Saurabh, 5, has to feed a family of five. At an age when children are learning how to write, Saurabh now knows how to sign his name when he receives his monthly salary. Read more here.

Farewell Mr.Rossman Paya Kumbuh

Last monday, me, mushi, jon, rossman and mate went to Cha Cha Buffet together for a farewell dinner. It was held to bid farewell to rossman, who is going to leave us this July (coz apparently he forgot to extend his visa, otherwise he could have stayed till october).
Rossman (the one in grey sweatshirt) is the only one from the 5 of us who did a 3 years BEng Degree instead of 4 years. Rossman, despite his shy and quiet appearance, is a very rajin and power student. He hardly misses any lectures and completed most of his tutorials (betul ka rossman?) Anyway, his final result came out yesterday, what do you know, he nailed a first class!
Me? haha, it was written there "Result allows for 4th year continuation". What a waste.

Farrago Fardel: My mundane ego dispense place....

Today is the official launching of Farrago Fardel, my very own blog at last. It took me many months and a butt-load of effort to put things together; learning everything about blogging, HTML, and the works.

Yes, of course, it's a bit too much for sumthing really that simple, but then again, i dont really have that much time, and above all, the determination. But i got there at last alrite. One thing about me, if i am bound to construct sumthing, i tend to have everything well covered and planned before actually submitting into execution. Oh well, i'm just slow, that's all.

To be square with myself, it is not at all that bad. I mean, the blog has been here for ages already actually, but was never open to public till now. Its the learning and adding the add-ons part that took me such a long time. Plus i wont start sumthing unless i am ready to be totally committed. I mean, what's the point of having a blog if u just post one or two posts in the first 2 months or so, and stop right beyond that. So as for me, right now it seems that i am ready to submit atleast one post a forthnight. Hence the public announcement and launching of this blog today. Job well done izzy!

Farrago Fardel is basically a place where i share my daily-life experiences, my thoughts and ideas, and reviews on almost anything that i come across. Pretty lame ay? hell yeah it is. That's the whole idea. I mean afterall, this blog is called "Farrago Fardel", a literal description indeed. You have to admit that not many people know the meaning of those two words i.e. farrago and fardel, and the meaning when they are put together. But i won't indulge myself into writing more about that now.

Lastly, and definitely the most important of all, i want to address much credit and gratitude to Nur Hazwani Abdul Razak for all the help and tutoring she offered me in the making of this blog. Without her helping hands, this blog will never come close to being in existance. She taught me everything she knew and endlessly jabbing me with the drive and motivation till this very moment; the lauching of Farrago Fardel.

Applause!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
