*Beep beep!* You have a new message..

Yeah, that's what happened today when I went to Bukit Kayu Hitam with my family. As soon as I reached there, I checked my handphone (usually, I do this everytime when I arrived somewhere) for signal receive bars.. it was full! Hmm, it never happened before.. coz usually it's hard to get the signal from Maxis near Thailand. And you know why?

Coz my operator service was automatically changed!! "AIS GSM" appeared on my phone as the operator service! I was surprised! Felt a bit curious, I went into the setting menu and tried to select the network manually. After a few seconds for network searching.. AIS GSM, maxis, and the rest of the usual networks appeared. So, I conclude myself that AIS GSM is one of Maxis's partner outside Malaysia. Haha.. it really surprised me :)

Well, once we all done with our shoppings.. we rode back home. As soon as we left that place, I received 3 messages.. the first one was from an unidentified number - 022719000, and the rest two are from the same number - Maxis (yeah, there was no number.. juz the word 'Maxis').

The first message was, "Select AIS network & enjoy up to 50% saving over calls made to or received from friends roaming on AIS. Simply dial #0(Country Code)(Mobile No.)" Neat huh? Savings while doing some global roaming calls, yup.

The second message, "Maxis wishes you a pleasant stay in Thailand." Whoa, I'm like WOW. That's a really nice greeting from Maxis :)

And the final message, "Maxis welcomes you home. Hope you had a wonderful trip abroad." Hehehe... that's just so generously cute. I never thought I'll receive these kind of messages from the network :)

Hmm ok lah.. I wanna watch my wrestling on Astro. Catcha later dudes!

The best dream I had.. and the worst friday khutbah I heard...

Last night I dreamt the most wonderful dream ever, and I really hope that dream does come true one day. All my life, I've never felt a dream that is so real.. so real I don't even wanna wake up at all.

It began when I was walking into my girlfriend's house along with my parents. It was strange for me coz I never had the chance to bring them at all before this, and I seldom visit her because she's always in KL most of the time in her college. Well, that day she wasn't in her house.. or I felt that her presence wasn't there at all, but her love and her feelings I kept inside of me all the time.

I tried to look around, and as I walked towards the kitchen, I heard my parents discussing something among her parents. Huh?! Is this for real?? My parents actually got to speak with them?? Wow, never the less I continued my search around the house for my darling.

And as soon as I walked out of the kitchen, mom and dad came to me and said, "Ok dah, semua dah settle. Malam nanti dia balik lah.." I'm like WHUT DA?? "Parents dia dah agree, so no need to be afraid," my mom added.

Is this what I think it is? The three of us came here to meminang my girlfriend?? And her parents AGREED??! I'm.. I'm.. so.. speechlessly happy. I.. just.. can't say anything. I was.. smiling.. and.. laughing inside. My God, that's it? So simple?? Huh.. wow. Thank God, alhamdulillah.. and syukur. I never thought her parents would agree of having me as their son-in-law.. coz I'm so nervous (in real life) even speaking to them makes me shaking. :)

Then, my parents went home.. left me all alone in her house, as her parents went to work. Yeah, I waited for my girlfriend.. oops, fiancé (hehe) to return home later tonight. I just stood all day in joy, smiling all the time, waiting for her. I gazed around, and see what'll be within tonight and tomorrow onwards. What's it like to be finally together. How would my days and nights be from now on? Gosh, I'm so happy inside.. tears filled up my eyes and slowly rundown across my face of eternal joy and fulfilled dreams.

BAMM BAMM BAMM!! "WAKE UP SON, DON'T WANNA BE LATE FOR PRAYERS!!" Aaahhhh mannnnn!!! Just when I had the most heavenly dream.. the dream amongst dreams. Damn it! I didn't even get to wait for her return that night pun.. *sob* Uwaaaaa!!!! I should've slept early last night!! Arghh!!

Anyway, today's khutbah went well.. for a few minutes. Ahaks! I checked my watch, "1:30pm". Hmm.. I guess it's gonna be a long day today. The khatib read the khutbah in a monotone voice, so it was utterly boring. My head almost fell to the floor (haha.. not really). Hmm.. I thought about my dream last night. It was so wonderful, I wish I could continue that dream tonite :)

Well, as time (slowly) passed by, it's already 1:45pm and that's when the khatib screwed up the khutbah a bit. Reading back and forth, jumping from one sentence to another, re-read some sentences, and again jumped the whole sentence. I realised my dad (who sat one row in front of me) shook his head telling him what a terrible khatib he is. Then, when the khutbah finally reached its end.. everyone prayed, and we left the mosque early.

In the car, I said, "Teruk lah khatib hari nih, khutbah serabut..". "Ntah, orang tua.. he can't read the text kot. Hmm, I think I'm gonna write or do a seminar on Khatib's Speaking Skills.." dad replied as he drove us back home in his black Mercedes. Once, we're back home.. mom prepared lunch as my lil' sister Ann carried my nephew Amir and put him on his baby chair. Then, we all sat down and ate lunch together. Nyum nyumm..

Well, gotta hand it to ya.. it's sure one heck of a day. Aint hot like any other fridays, I guess it's the rain season coming soon. Oh well, tata for now! Adios amigos..

WWE Unforgiven 2003.. damn, what a game..

WWE Raw presents, an Austin and Bischoff production - WWE Unforgiven 2003.

Duddlies won the Tag-Team titles (17th time in WWE) in the "Tables Match" against the dickheads La Resistance and that other good for nothing hypocrite jerk. I hate him so much, I don't even know his name. Nuff' said.

Puppies in the rings! Hehe yeah.. tag-teams Trish and the returned diva, Lita won against Molly and Gail Kim.

Jim Ross and Jerry "The King" Lawler lost to Al Snow and Jonathan Coachman.. therefore yesterday's WWE RAW was no longer hosted by our fav JR and the King, instead those two 1st-class jackasses did the talk, and boy do they suck.. esp that flamboyant dickhead Coachman.

Shawn Michaels vs Randy Orton - "The Legend vs The Legend Killer". Shawn won already the match fair and square, but as soon as the reff turn around signalling to ring the bell, the dirtiest player bastard Ric Flair put Randy's right leg on the bottom rope.. and this concludes the reff to FURTHER the match? Sonnava bitch! And yunno what? Ric passed brass-knuckles to Randy secretly.. and this gave opportunity for Randy to 'kill' the legendary Shawn Michaels a few blows across his head, pinned, and won the count. Damn it, I hate the Evolution. They never won any match fair and square. Those sonnava bitches.. juz wait and see. You win some, I'm sure as hell you're gonna lose some. :P

Shane n Kane "Last Man Standing" match was a killer. Shane didn't waste any time for his entrace song, he juz came in during Kane's and whacked him with a steel chair on his back. Bickity bamm!! Down goes Kane, and bamm!! Another hit marks the spot.. and another.. and another!! Damn, Shane wanna make sure dat this freak monster wouldn't stand a chance of even opening his eyes.

He used the steel ring-side stairs.. pack up a steel metal on Kane's skull.. Kane pushed the announce table down on Shane, but surprisingly Shane hid sumwhere making Kane wondered around searching and thus came another big shot behind Kane from Shane.. best smack was done by Shane when he took the boom camera pole and run down towards Kane like a steel clothesline (damn, that camera broke its mirror but still filming these bad asses).

But then came another one of Shane's 'more guts than brains' moves. While Kane was lying down helplessly on the announcer floor (the part where usually JR n The King sits).. Shane climbed up the Unforgiven wall, 30 feet in the air.. and as soon as he reached the top, he looked down towards Kane like a nuclear strike target. Yup, Kane was not moving.. and this made Shane said his short prayers.. and jumped 30 feet in the air down aiming towards Kane.. and WHAAMM!!! The floor broke like hell.. but on Shane's back? What da fuck?!! KANE MOVED!! KANE AVOIDED SHANE'S FALL!! Argh, what a mothafuckin move! This made Shane lying unconcious and thus Kane won with the 10-count timeout. Shit man.. this match ended like no other match I've seen before.. you've gotta see this one.

Well, enough of that tragic excitement.. the main event 'World Heavyweight Champion' title defense Triple H against Goldberg. Who won? Hehe.. you guessed it alright.. GOLDBERG. Not even Ric Flair can do anything to help, Triple H got what he deserved.. a few of Goldberg's fatality moves knocks him out. One-two-three.. and there you have it folks, a new World Heavyweight Champion 2003.. Goldberg. "Believe The Hype.." :)

Outta here..

An angel wake-up call..

*ring ring!* (my handphone starts to ring.. the melody of "Can't Take My Eyes Off of You" by Andy Williams).
I looked at my phone, it was a public phone number that appeared, the one my darling always use to call me..


Me : Hello...? (with an awful awaken voice)
Sayang : Baby.. wake up, sayang...
Me : Mmm.. okay... (yawning..)
Sayang : I love you, sayang!
Me : I love ya too, baby.. mmuah!!
Sayang : Mmmuahs!! ... *click* (the call ended)

Me : Alaa.. ni sure duit habis nih.. Hmm, what time is it, anyway..


I pressed one of my Adidas watch's button and lit the display.. "11:47 am".
Damn, I must be tired yesterday.. oh well, back to bed.

Soon, I realised it rained heavily outside. Yeah, with me sleeping in my air-conditioned room.. aah, heaven. I couldn't care less what was happening, so I just shut my eyes back to sleep.

Later, a big bang awaken me from my peaceful rest. It came from my door, and I knew it was dad's bang coz it was a hard one. When I looked at my watch again, "SONNAVA BITCH!! IT'S 1:15PM!!!! I'M LATE FOR MY PRAYERS!!!!!"

With the speed of Superman on Kryptonite weeds, I ran straight to the bathroom and took my bath for just a few minutes. Ran back to my room, put on my prayer clothes, combed my hair.. and that's when I found 2 eyelashes right on my cheek. Hmm.. someone must be really really missing me, I wonder who could that be? :)

Dad came out from his room, I followed, and we went to the mosque for our Friday prayers. An hour later, we came back and had our lunch. I watched Pangako Sa'yo on tv2.. man, I love this drama.. the girls are so cute!! Especially Yna, damn I wish you would love me instead of that irresponsible Angelo :P

After another episode of that drama, I washed my plate and watched The Bold and The Beautiful on ASTRO with my mom. She really loves this one, she'd never miss is for the world. Yeah, I aint much of a fan.. so I parked myself in dad's office and got online. Got new mails, and yup.. thank God my Hotmail is doing fine.

Oops, gotta go now. Asar's coming up soon.. outta here!


P/S: I miss you baby, I love ya so much. Can't hardly wait for your return ;)

God damn it! Now my ASTRO is fucked up!

We (my family) were among the earliest ASTRO subscribers, back before they officially launched it in full version. Yes, we got ASTRO during the free 3 months trial period.. the green interface version. Later, more channels arrived.. more upgrades came in.. they changed the interface to a new blue modern version as well. Lately, they got themselves a brand new logo! Congrats, I might say.. but somehow I noticed my parents were arguing about their service. Three sets of channels [Movie (HBO, Cinemax, Star Movies).. Cartoon (Disney, Cartoon Network, Nickelodeon).. Music (MTV, Channel V, Star World)] are not viewable. I'm like.. this aint juz a signal prob thingy coz it's 3 whole sets that's gone.

So, what did I do? I called the Customer Service.. and this is how it went..


ASTRO Customer Service (ACS) : Hello, welcome to ASTRO. How may I help you? (an indian lady voice)
Me : Hi, I called earlier today regarding my ASTRO.
ACS : What's the problem?
Me : I can't watch certain channels where previously I could. Earlier today, one of your customer service assistant told
me to reset my decoder, turn the power off for 30 minutes and turn it back on.. but I still can't get my channels.
ACS : I see. Can I have your account number?
Me : Okay, hold on. (I grabbed the ASTRO bill) Here's my account number, **********.
ACS : Okay, one minute sir.
[A few seconds later..]
ACS : Hello, there's nothing wrong with your service.. but can I have your name sir?
Me : I'm Futra.
ACS : And your IC number please?
Me : ******-**-****.
ACS : Okay, Mr. Futra. On the 11th of September, there has been a downgrade upon your account by one of our higher officers.
Me : Downgrade?!
ACS : Yes, there was a call made on that day, 10.30am.. by someone who requested to downgrade.
Me : Nobody called that day. Hold on..
Dad : Where were we on 11th September?
Me : Alaa.. you guys were in KL, I meet you guys at Katari kan?!
Dad : Hah, we're in the plane. It's impossible to make that call. Lagipun, mana ada orang dalam rumah ni yang tau buat camtu!
Me : Hah, tuh la pasal.. jap. Hello?
ACS : Yes, Mr. Futra?
Me : We were in KL that day, it's impossible to call you. We don't even know how to do such a thing coz we're satisfied with everything before this.
ACS : I'm sorry, sir. It wasn't our group of Customer Service who made the change, it was some of our higher officers who verified the downgrade.
Me : Nevermind! Can you give me any information about that call? Who called and what number?
ACS : Well, our computer shows that the one who collect the call didn't use any IC number to downgrade your service.. but the number was this number.
Me : THIS NUMBER?!
ACS : Yes, Mr. Futra.
Me : Hold on.. Dad, she said it was this number.. and what's worse, whoever made the change didn't even use any IC number. Can you believe that?
Dad : Hmm.. ASTRO ni nak kena complain dah nihh...
ACS : Hello, Mr. Futra..
Me : Yes?
ACS : Here's what I can do for you. We can switch on your channels back now.. which channels do you want?
Me : Which channels? ALL OF THEM lah!!
ACS : All of them??? (sound surprised)
Me : Yeah, ALL OF THEM. We subscribed all the channels before, why can't we get all the channels now?!
ACS : You mean, including the Dynasty package, Movie package, (bla bla bla)...
Me : YES!!
ACS : Okay, Mr. Futra. We'll turn back on all of your channels NOW.
Me : Now?
ACS : Yes, now. So, I apologise for all of the inconvinient, Mr. Futra.
Me : Hmm.
ACS : On behalf of ASTRO, I'm sorry for everything. Thank you for calling us, Mr. Futra.
Me : Yeah.
ACS : Have a nice day. *click* (she hung up the phone)
Me : "Have a nice day"??? KISS MY ASS, BIYATCH~!!!


Ok, first thing's first. How can someone call them using our number without using our phone at home? Second, how can they let the change be made without a verified IC number? Third, who da hell wants to downgrade Movies, Music, and Cartoon channels?!!! Are you out of your fucking mind?!!! Damn it.

Oh yeah, our disappeared channels are back already. Sheeeshh!!

Wet eyes, sleepy.. but I don't wanna sleep..

Had my lunch at 2pm, watched Pangako Sa'yo at tv2.. damn that girl Yna is such a cute angel, why marry Angelo, marry me instead!! Hehe.. erm, does anyone know what language they used? Kinda funny at first when I heard their dialogue but then better than my loghat Kedah, which I personally admit it sucks. Haha!

I left my dad's PC online coz while I was eating, I'm downloading Team 17's new Worms game demo - Worms 3D! Yeah, when you talk bout 3D, obviously the file size's gonna be a whoopin big one - 60MB to be exact! So ermm.. lemme see.. within the past 3 hours, I managed to download 30%.. which leaves me another 7 hours to complete. Well, I resume it later 2nite coz I don't wanna fry my dad's modem.. (yeah right, I used to download a 250MB file for a week straight, 3 hours per day!!!)

Oh, it's almost Asar.. better get ready. Ciao!

(This transit is the one with 3 stops before it reaches KLIA, not the express one) Damn cun.. eventho it costs RM35, but it's my 1 time experience. Really, it's such a pleasure to take a smooth ride thru Putrajaya and Cyberjaya. I even saw the new Channel 9 building along the way to KLIA too! Hmm.. hopefully I can do my practical there in my next sem. Oh yeah, I took some pictures.. but I haven't uploaded them yet in my website. I'll put 'em up by tonite.

I arrived here yesterday night, and as soon as I reached home.. I got online.. and then I go "DAMN!! My email inboxes are full!!!

Haha.. well, here I am baby! 1 month holidays has just started.. and got a lots of things to do..
