my prev mailbox *smell@nourza.net* had been filled with the most stupidiest mails i've ever seen. i stopped using it and created another email address. spam still floods my singnet mailbox and it's irritating to see all headlines juz to find a REAL email. i deleted those junks and when i came in a few minutes later, fresh spam is already there. i wish to kick my foot at whoever's as*es who's spamming my mailbox. *gerammm*

cos

I don't want to triple my penis size *err?*
I don't want to see girls doing it with horses
I don't want FREE viagra
I don't want a #1 anti-aging spray
I don't want weight-loss prescription drugs *i need more weight actually*
I don't want to know about your slutty date!

8P get lost!

"oompaLoompa doompadee doo..." so i juz finished watching charlie and the choc factory...i was out cycling to ghufran today so i didnt catch it with my adik. gene wilder is amazing as willy wonka. it sure is hard to make roald dahl's classic into a movie cos the book itself is a stretch of the imagination, but the movie still rocks. the oompaLoompas sang bits of wisdom everytime a kid was flushed out....

oompaLoompa doompadah dee...
if you are wise you will listen to me.

this is wat i did for my final yr portfolio project. very fun experience. except i did an interactive cd for the project and it does look better than the cd *though still not dat good* integrating videos for web wasnt easy because videos are HUGE in sizes and i had to really optimize them. so im sorry about the quality. you lose some...you gain some.

im an owl. i stay up until one or two o'clock in the morning everyday, and as a result, woke up quite late. i dun really find rising early less than enjoyable but when i do have to get up for something, i lurvee the freshness of a new day. there's sort of a peace in the darkness before the dawn, an expectancy you don't find at any other hour.

i didnt sleep after my prayers this morning cos i had a meeting at kampong alkaff mosque at 9am. i thot that mebbe i could give a call to haz and tell him some excuse not to be there. but i arrived...40min late. 8/ coincidentally there's a workshop going on at the mosque and and i made some frens from the ITQAN programme. whenever i make a new fren, i find it an exhilarating feeling. 8)

it was a depressing day...i didnt attend the job interview in the morning cos it was raining heavily and my shoulder still hurt from carrying the portfolio bag yesterday. my film prints came out blank...dunno why lah. mebbe i sent in a new roll.

in the evening, i travelled for an hr only to find out that i can actually take the evaluation test anytime i want. but only if im ready. and im not. 8/ then i trotted to funan ctr and peninsula...and it was raining so heavily dat i had to wait for another 15min *nih lah...tak bawak payongg* thot of buying the sigma flash for my minolta, but price was *wow* even for 2nd hand. and i was back late. ok, i'll stop whining now. now its ur turn.
