About Me

I like lots of things... right now though most of my time is spent doing my work. I work for the Borneo Bulletin in Brunei Darussalam, which is the country where I was born. Much of my life was spent in Adelaide, Australia, though... A place that has captured a place in my heart that I'll never, ever relinquish.From there I learnt alot of things, I learnt that we learn more in between the ages of 12 and 18 than we do the rest of our lives... ;pI'm a kid at heart, but then again who isn't?

My Interests

My interests are quite plentiful... When I'm not out and about driving around, or playing football I'm probably writing. I mean its my job but I've managed to find a job that is one of my biggest in interests in life. On par with writing is reading, I feel its a must because you have to read in order to write. Well in most cases its that way.I'm also a sneaker fiend... I think I wrote this down somewhere before but it must've disappeared. To elaborate, I'm a shoe fiend... but since most of the shoes I get are sneakers I think its much more appropriate to be called a Sneaker Fiend.

I'd like to meet:

Anyone who can make me laugh... It sounds so cliche but the world could use abit more laughter

Music:

I like all sorts :) I think I've garnered a better appreciation of music after learning how to play the guitar. All in all it depends on the mood I'm in. I like to dance but I can't dance to save my life. One of my favourite all time bands is Incubus, because I think their music has somewhat evolved and it seems that no matter what it has evolved into I like it.Aside from that I like the stuff that my cousin Fahmi mixes and brings home from Perth Australia. Its alot of Jazz and Lounge stuff... Its heaps cool... Full Frequency RTR.Fm :p

Movies:

Donnie Darko was a fantastic movie, or so I thought... A few other movies that have caught my imagination are The Harvard Man, Waking Life, I'm a StarWars fan but I feel they have to make up for the last two movies in the series, which are actually the first two, I also enjoyed iRobot and the Shawshank Redemption, Brave Heart, A Perfect Storm, Oceans Eleven, both Mission Impossible movies... Actually come to think of it there is so much there... I have to say I'm a bit of a movie buff... not as big as they get... but a movie buff never the less...

Books:

I like Wilbur Smith, I like Neil Gaiman, I also like Anne Rice. Most of the stuff I like is stuff that makes you think. That sentence might suggest differently but I think I'll stick to my guns on that. Hmmm The Mists of Avalon was I book oh so long ago, but the way it was written and angle taken by the Author has made it one of the books I've loved reading time and again. Another set of books that I'm currently going through and that I really like is The Tenth Insight which is the second book after the Celestine Prophecies. I think its the Celestine Prophecies... it could be the Celestine Prophecy but yeah... I'll tell you that when I figure it out.

Heroes:

"I don't have any fear of a crash. No fear of that. Of course, on a fifth gear corner with a fence outside, I don't want to crash. I'm not crazy. But if its near the end of practice, and you're trying for pole position maybe, I guess you can squeeze the fear ..."Gilles Villeneuve on Fear...

Dreaming of Dreams...

I found myself waking up from a half asleep state, with the sun shining into my eyes through a semi dark tint pair of sunglasses that were more for fashion than protection from its rays, everything s...

Shark Tale? Or Some Scary Movie?

Its been aaaages since I've blogged... I apologise, to whoever reads this to keep tabs on whatever I've been up to. Its hard to say actually what I've been up to... I mean I've not been doing anything...

I feel rather foolish... *HEAVEN HELP*

I had a great sleep last night, I have to say it was the best sleep in ages. It was one that left me waking up feeling refreshed and just ready to face whatever it was that life would throw at me. ...
