sent word that there’s a new radio station (still unnamed) in
town that’s currently going through its paces over 92.0FM in
the Klang Valley. It took me a while to figure out what kind of
stuff they’re playing until I realized that they’re playing
nothing but local music be it in Malay, English, Mandarin or
Tamil. Most of the stuff that they have got on their playlist
are pretty urban stuff from the likes of local hip hop groups
(Ruffedge, Da Joint, Muchachaz, Chakrasonic) to pop (Ning Baizura,
Nur Fatima, Ferhad, Victor Wong, etc.) to alternative rock (OAG,
Butterfingers, Exist, Black Maria). Since this is coming from
AMP Radio Networks,
the very same people that brought you Hitz.FM,
Era.FM,
My.FM, etc. you can
pretty much expect it to be a format radio station like its
other siblings.

Two ex-Boilermakers had their wedding receptions today. First up was Part II of Firdaus and Fawzana’s wedding at the groom’s place in Penang (their picture page has been updated with pictures taken today). I was joined by other ex-Boilers Md. Zin, Bart and Jahang there. Immediately after that, I was off to Ipoh for Eijatt and Fara’s reception (pictures below). I was joined by ex-Boilers Ustad, Hanif, Jimmy, Salleh and Asroll. I’ve already made it back home to KL at this time of writing and I’m really high on nasi kandar and obviously nasi minyak right now. Curiously, only the guys made their appearances at both events today. Whatever happened to them ex-Boiler gals, lah? Heheh! :P Anyways, Selamat Pengantin Baru to both couples! Here’s wishing a good life ahead for the four of you!

There are just too many idiotic, inconsiderate, numbnutted
nitwits out there going about doing things without even the
slightest hint in the world on how their actions affect other
people around them. How would your family being passengers in
your car were to react if I were to recklessly overtake your
vehicle by squeezing in at an impossible angle between two lanes
on the highway? How would you feel if I were to come around
disposing my waste in the corridor of your home? What if I were
to swing by your house and relief myself by spraying all over the
toilet and just leave without even bothering to flush? Would you
mind if I were to cut queue right in front of you just as you’re
about to reach the counter after spending a long time queueing?
There are times when I feel like retaliating by doing the same.
After all, do unto others what others have done unto you. Then
again, why even bother. I’d be no different than those idiotic,
inconsiderate numbnutted, nitwits themselves if I were to do so.

Firdaus a.k.a. Penang tied the knot with his sweetheart Fawzana noon today. Most of us who stayed together in the same apartment/house with him during our uni days were there to accompany him and his family to the bride's place at Damansara for the akad nikah ceremony. Both looked every bit the happy couple, as is evident from the pictures! Here's wishing all the joy and bliss for the couple in the years to come!
