Szakif is a Jury for KOS Starz

KOS Starz is a nasyid competition organized by SCIENCESS in conjunction with the Islamic Culture Festival (ICF) during past few days which I enjoyed so much. I was invited to be the jury for the competition, as in American Idol. You know what I mean? I have to give comments and critics right after each performance! That's a huge job to do!

I'll write what I expect from the contestants after Jumaat prayer. Till then, students and all from IIUM Kuantan Campus are invited to come to the event. 8pm at KOS Main Auditorium today (Friday). See you!

Mulut Orang

Balik rumah haritu, mak aku sebok tanya aku bila nak ada makwe.

Ha? Serius? Ada kau tanya kenapa dia sebok-sebok tuh?

Takde la. Kat tempat kerja dia, ada sorang workmate dia discovered anak nya dah umur dekat nak 30 tahun tapi takde makwe lagi. Siasat punya siasat, rupa-rupanya gay!

Na'uzubillah. So that's why mak ko risaukan kau. Bagus la. Itu tanda dia concernkan kau. Haha...!

Tau takpe. Tapi aku tak sedia lagi nak ada komitmen bermakwe-makwe nih. Rimas. I am a bachelor and I love it!

Haha... Dah tu, kau rapat dengan member-member lelaki ko, ko tak takut orang kata kau gay?

Ah! Kalau ikut sangat kata orang, sampai bila pun orang akan mengata. Ada aku kesah diorang nak kata apa? Aku tahu aku tak buat benda salah, aku tak buat benda berdosa, cukuplah. Yang orang-orang mengata-ngata tu, diorang buat benda salah, berdosa, itu diorang tak tahu!

Setuju, tak hidup kita dek kata-kata orang beb!

Update: Due to misunderstanding of the above text, I would like to clarify that the above conversation is partially fictional. No name is mentioned that it would be applied to anyone without regard to myself (read: Szakif) directly or indirectly. The most important thing is the content of the story, not the people behind the conversation.

Ada Aku Kesah?

Aku perhatikan ramai yang merujuk statement tajuk di atas kepada aku. Aku tiada masalah, malah berasa bangga!

Mari kita mulakan siri Ada Aku Kesah!

Nantikan entri esok ok.

2 Danial

Both have no blood relationship with me, but both are close with me.

I still remember the time when I knew Danial's name, spontaneously I said, "Hey, nama anak buah aku!"

The first Danial, who is always in my heart. Adopted from a broken family, raised by my adopted older brother and his wife. Last week when I went back home, he opened the door for me with his ever cute face that made me forgot the tiring 8-hour journey. I am grateful Allah wrote in His Book that we have met each other in this life. I wish you'll grow up to your best with the best guidance from your parents.

The other Danial, who is most of the time seen with me. People said we are like siblings, which I have no problem to accept it. The same goes to him. We can always discuss range of topics and most of the time we share the same thoughts. I am grateful Allah wrote in His Book that we have met each other in this life. I wish you all the best in your life and to my observation you have great talents and abilities to be a great leader. Insha Allah I'll keep all that we've shared.

When I am home, I got Danial.
When I am in Kuantan, I also got Danial.
Both Danials do make my days.

Suatu Transformasi Akan Berlaku

It's nothing about AF7 just so you know...

It's just that, well...

If previously I used to using HP's Compaq laptop, now I'm making myself familiar with ASUS.

If previously I used to using Windows XP Professional, now I'm learning to use Windows Vista.

All these take time while the fact is I don't have much time. You know~ Zaki's always busy... Duh~

STBB: Behind the Scene

I think I've learnt a lot from writing the STBB entries...

I was at one stage of age felt that I got too easily irritated. Not only that, I was too defensive also. U played me, u served your right – I’d pay back! That was who Zaki once upon a time. Until a friend of mine made a statement:

“Aku dah tak nak la cakap dengan ko la camni. Gurau sikit pun tak boleh!”

Well, that again got me irritated.

That’s basically it. I don’t like to be too much revealing about who I was years ago. To relate this with STBB, it was where I introspected myself: why shouldn’t take it positively? Why shouldn’t I take joke as joke, not more than that that it would hurt my heart?

Then slowly I changed myself, the way I perceived words from people. I tried to be more positive and open to people’s difference.

If previously I responded STBB’s with a broken heart, but now smile always decorates my lips.

Now relate this with the symptoms of STBB infection:

Among others, it may cause reddened face, acute heartache, burnt ears and their internal parts, hypertension and high blood temperature (but not up to feverish point). Besides that, to certain people with disordered psychological conditions, the signs and symptoms are completely different. Among others, they are hyperhydrated gum, dislocated jaw bones, and to a greater extent; temporary loss of memory, uncoordinated physical movements and loss of body balance. In rare cases, no signs or symptoms claimed.

Note the word disordered psychological conditions. Huhu… That’s who I am now. :P

Belanja Makan

If I list down all names who have treated me meal, along this semester, I think I'll miss some and that would hurt them. Huhu~ Seriously, there are too many people who have been so nice to me by treating me lunch, dinner or as simple as a piece of bread :)

Never mind. My point is, from my observation treating people with foods is one of the best ways to connect people.

While we're on the way to the restaurant, we talk.
While waiting for the foods to be served, we talk again.
While eating we also talk.
After eating, everyone is happy and we talk again.

Talk here covers everything that describes people knowing each other through direct conversation, face to face which to me is still the best way to communicate. Yes we have Facebook, YM and all, but can we share foods while using them? No.

Don't you agree?
