A week to IVP! I think IVP means Inter-Varsity Playoffs.
Silat IVP will be held at Republic Polytechnic on 6,7,8,14,15 June. I'm not sure if outside people can come down to support. Hehe, if people come and I don't do well, it'll be abit embarassing. But I don't mind the support!
Or... make a trip to Taman Warisan and witness a battle of a different kind. A battle of wit, creativity and words... Pesta Pantun! The competition begins on the 7th and 8th June.
So, how do you feel when IVP is so near?
Well, I am confident I'll do better than NTU friendly. Yet, I think the fear may overcome me in the ring. Come on, Na'im! Be confident and half the battle is won! I just hope and pray that I won't lose in the first round. I'm aiming for a medal!
Any problems you foresee?
The people in my weight class are fast and agile.... REALLY fast and agile. I hope to have the speed also. All the techniques I learnt, I will try my best to apply them. And I pray my stamina lasts the whole match.
To the team:
We have trained hard. I know we could have trained harder but sometimes things just don't go as planned. So right now, let's just maximise what we have done. I believe we can achieve greatness. Just need the confidence. Whatever they say, ignore and turn it into something to drive you. Achieve and throw the words back at them. Haha, sometimes I just like to prove people wrong. Alrite! Let's do it for the team!
*huddle* PESILAT.... NUS!
And don't forget to do'a. It works. Cos, how can you expect something to be given to you if you don't ask for it? We can win! Amin!
Interesting quote for the day:
"Back off, I'll take you on!
Headstrong, to take on anyone!
I know that you are wrong,
Headstrong, we're headstrong!"
- lyrics from "Headstrong" by Trapt
Hehe, the song kinda drives my fighting spirit.

My group A4! Great bunch of people! Thank you all.
Yeap, it's been long since i posted an entry... let's just say my May schedule is packed. It is more packed than a pack of wolves playing with a pack of cards while smoking a pack of cigarettes each. Okay, kinda lame attempt but nvm.
So, once again, here is my life, bite-sized:

10 - 13 May: teamNUS Summit
Here's when I went to Malaysia for a leadership camp. Went to Gopeng... somewhere in Perak. Stood on the back of a small lorry with 30 people likening illegal immigrants. Did white-water rafting for the first time: Level 3 waters, so not so bad. Went caving at Gua Tempurung: Had to crawl in shallow water with stalactites just above your head - FUN! Rock-climbing at KL. Speed shopping at Malacca: we were only given 1.5 hours to shop... I had planned to buy some stuff but alas, unfounded. Made many new friends. Had alot of fun.

Barely had time to recover, and I was off to another camp. This time, I was one of the organisers, along with Yusri and Farah Natasya. Well, the program is mostly decided by the coach and we had a friendly with NTU on the Saturday so we needed to only prepare logistically mostly. Stayed at Raffles Hall. Yes, with the famous Hart Coort! Training was tough but fun cos you have friends around. I was trashed in my first ever match... I fought Yazid from NTU who was the Class B champion of IVP. Lost partly due to fear and mostly cos I was blind... wasn't allowed to wear specs and hadn't gotten my contact lenses. I was hitting air most of the time. Ah nvm. Shall do better! Fadzli (chong) broke his left arm again... Really feel sorry for him. Will no longer be active in silat in NUS... there goes a talent in our team... Get well soon! The game "Whose line can make it anyway" was superb. Everyone was sporting and very humourous... I have videos which can be used as blackmail... Muahahaha. The team had a run from school to Bukit Timah and back... My injured knee couldn't bear it any longer when I reached SIM. Was running like Terry Fox before that. So I got back along with some other injured people and we made Milo for everyone! The camp was a success. Though there were some hiccups... tapi yang penting happy! Many jokes and phrases such as "Hart Coort" and "Where is this from?"
Many thanks to everyone! The coaches, the seniors and especially Yusri and Farah Natasya!
Just some pics of the team. Let's achieve greatness this IVP! Amin.
21 May
This is when I wore contact lenses for the first time! Haha. Special ones for Astigmatism. The bi-weekly kind cos daily ones were too expensive to me. Took one hour to wear them! I find I can see clearer with my specs... So I shall only wear contacts for silat... And I've invested quite a lot in my specs. My mom say I look more 'handsome' wearing contacts while I think it's the opposite. For the record, I'm the only myopic one in the family.
23 - 28 May: GoStong-Royong
I won't be going to Mount Stong. But I will be the 'anchorman' here... any emergencies will be informed to me and I report to the respective parties as necessary. Enjoy the the trip, you guys! I pray you have a safe journey and come back home safely. Amin.
30 May
Exam results........... gonna have to brace myself...

Just a post
Checks the date... Oh wow, it's been two weeks since I last updated this thing. I am bored of studying...
This entry goes out to anyone who happens to be taking a break from revision or bored of studying and just happen to read my blog...
ALL THE BEST! GANBATTE! JIA YOU! YOU CAN DO IT!
Maybe you're feeling you can't finish studying on time. Maybe you're feeling you don't think you can achieve that CAP that you want. Well...
NO FEAR!
Follow these simple steps:
1) Do'a. It works. If you don't ask for it, then how can you expect it to be given to you. And, it corrects your niat in all that you pursue.
2) Usaha and Ikhtiar. Well, you can't just ask and hope for a miracle rite? You gotta work on it! Do what you can and do your best! Then, for those you can't manage to do? How? Which brings us to the next point...
3) Tawakkal. Have faith in Allah that the best will turn out. Of course, you can't just do this step and ignore the first two steps... it just wouldn't work. Have faith in what you have tried your best doing!
Haha, just sharing some thoughts. Actually, I'm more telling this to myself than anyone else... Once again, all the best, everyone! I pray that you all will achieve what you want in life. =)
After this small test in life, we can all enjoy!
And I look forward to spending quality and blissful times with you.

Having some sense knocked into me
"Okay, one person will be in front. The other two will kick. Only one time; a quick one. The one in front will try to catch and buat bantingan or sapuan (throw or sweep). If you kick and don't pull back quick enough and get caught, try to resist. The one that catch but cannot banting, will then counter."
Everyone was stunned. Oh okay, that's something new. Well, I need to practise striking fast and pulling back my leg anyway. Then there was laughter, cos I was grouped with Raiyan and Jason. The two heavy-weights and me being relatively close-to-nothing weight... a difference of at least 5 classes. Could it get any worse than this?
Raiyan was in front first. My lightweight is apparent from being easily thrown. I could be made like a rag doll if he wanted to. At least I could get some kicks in.
Then, it was Jason. First few was okay. Then it happened. He caught my leg. And in a blur, he did a very high 'Nike' throw, almost likening the 'sandwich' throw Abang Azmi did on Fahmi. I think I flew... Then I landed... HARD... on the side of my head first on the edge of the mat... a few inches from the hard floor... A flash of white... A moment of numbness... Then, a throbbing pain. I was dizzy in pain. The impact on the left side of my body was overcome by the pain in my head. I opened my eyes and the room was spinning. The first words I heard, besides the "You okay?"s, were from Hanan:
"Ah kan... siapa nak buat mathematical equations dia sekarang..."
I wanted to laugh. But I couldn't. I sat up and held my face/head. It felt like it swelled up but of course, it didn't. Pain screws your perception. I stood up and my vision was veered to my right... Like there's a something blocking my left eye. They asked me to sit down and get a drink. In a trance-like state, I did. I was like, is there something wrong with my specs? Cos really, my vision was veered to my right... laid it down...macam okay. After some adjustments, it felt better. Came back and Raiyan now tells Jason to control his strength. Jason apologised. I forgave him. I don't think it's so much his fault. I'm so light that you can really throw me without much effort. He didn't throw me after that.
I was dazed for the whole night... even until I got home. I never thought my weight would be such a problem. Heck, I got thrown so much by Zul, durng King training, that it was embarassing. Well, I can learn to be less reckless in my attacks and pull back faster. Haha, but when you're tiny and try to resist the metaphorical giant, it's just plain demoralising.
And yes, I got some sense knocked into me. A slap back to reality. I always remember that any hardship one face is probably a test from Allah or a reminder cos you've been straying away from the true path. I've been slacking in my work... like seriously... wasted time alot... a sin I'm guilty of. I needed the push to focus. Coincidentally, I wanted to start from today. So the hardship and pain I got from that throw is like a reminder for me.
WAKE UP!
I still feel kinda dazed now. Hopefully my memory not affected. Haha. All the best to everyone! Selamat berjuang! Strive on!

Hit and Run
*brushes off the cobwebs and dust on the blog*
Been long since I updated the blog. Many things have been going on, just that I don't have the time to blog. So I shall do a quick one. Bite-size.
Less than a month to exams
Many Birthdays this month, including but not limited to: Fahmi, Fadzli Chong, Zul. The gang has obviously planned something for each of them.
My abang bought a Honda Stream and my kakak bought a Mazda, all this week.
Kimi Raikkonen, Felipe Massa, Ferrari doing good in Formula 1. Well, maybe not the best but I shall still support them. 1-2 finish at Bahrain. Will it be a 1-2 finish for the spuspus?
The zip for Adidas sling bag broke. Not even a year... Hopefully I'll get a shop to fix it. So I'll be carrying a backpack... feels abit different...
CM1131 mid-term test was pretty badly done in my opinion... I passed but it pales in comparison to the above 80 scorers. Help... Shall try my best.
When will lab reports end?
It's been a month, and I'm enjoying every moment of it. Thank you.
That's all I have to say... for now. May not be online as often, so don't miss me. *avoids the rotten tomatoes thrown*

Mega Carnival 08
Yes, it is a very outdated entry. I've been very busy this week with reports, assignments and what-nots. So here it is...
Well, there were many problems that we had to face but Alhamdulillah we can manage them. The start was a bit diisappointing. It was a Friday after all and yes there were more people that came during the weekend. I'm one of the publicity officers for the event. On the actual day, I was tasked with manning the coupon booth and was somewhat the unofficial photographer for the event. I am considering investing in a SLR camera. All my pics are from Saturday and Sunday.

Mr Abdullah Tarmugi graced the occasion and launched Akudeta, the online newsletter
Me and Mr Zubir Abdullah. A very kind, polite and talented man.

Zuraimi made an impromptu performance!
Omar and Amalina,

Well, I really had fun in the event. Everyone is a joy to work with. Each of us has our own unique character that adds up to become the Committee for Mega Carnival. My character of course, is the lame crappy guy that cracks jokes most of the time. I really learnt alot from this experience and there are some things I wish I could improve on. Alas, let's just look ahead and work from there. You and me did well in my opinion. No creation of the invisible bubble. Alhamdulillah.
Interesting quote for the day:
"Life is a drawing without an eraser" - quoted from a vandalism.
I've always said that the best thing about life is that there is no 'rewind' button. Whatever we have done, we cannot undo it. There maybe errors or ugly patches on our drawing but we just have to deal with it. The best that we can do is to cover it up or just continue on drawing. Who knows, the once-ugly part can be a beautiful, defining part of our life... Hopefully, our drawings will be beautiful enough to be presented to the Almighty when we are done with them. Amin. And I hope that my drawing has you engraved in it. Amin.

When anger leaks out
On another note, I met someone intersting yesterday at the Mega Carnival. I was sitting at the coupon booth when I saw a bunch of guys and girls coming in. One of the guys looked familiar... Where have I seen him before... Think...
Oh... No... Could it be?
Hudy approached the girls. Apparently they are her friends. Then I asked Hudy if they were from NTU. Yes they were. Could it be? Just need to know his name...
And coincidentally the guy was returning unsold coupons that we gave NTU for pre-sale. Zah called me to handle them cos she was unsure. The perfect opportunity...
Me: Oh, so where are you guys from?
Him: NTU
Me: Thank you for your support. You are?
Upon hearing his name... that settled it. It was him. At that moment, I was so tempted to say:
"Hi, I'm the guy you stole my girlfriend from."
But of course, I didn't. Instead, I asked for the name of the friend beside him. And I asked them to enjoy themselves and thank them for supporting us again.
Awakened inside was anger. It wasn't a strong one. Just a bitter one. It's not that I have not gotten over it. It's just that seeing him in person for the first time. I guess it's natural. I know that I will somehow get angry if I see him. But since I've gotten over it, I guess the anger has been watered down. So to prevent myself from potentially blowing up, I went to solat. Alhamdulillah.
I wonder how it would turn out if I did say that line...

Am I strong enough? I still have to work on it.
Oh... No... Could it be?
