online shirt stores.

It seems that alot of small-scale entrepreuners have opened up t-shirt stores via online. Its a smart and cost-saving way to earn extra dough. And i do believe that this trend will continue to grow bigger in the future. It is at the starting up stage. But so far , their ideas have been proven to be quiteeee impressive when it comes to paying the bills.

here's a company that i came across.

We're coming home.

Hello. its been a hell while since i wrote my last online journal. honestly, this whole thing was created out of boredom . And back then, i didn't really had much things to do.

Well,Friends Studying from Different countries are coming back, Sultan's bday is coming up in july. I cant wait to go home.

Got a call from tony all the way from England ,and ironically, right after playing street football at the tennis court.

He told me that this year's LufBru competition is allowing two imports to play in a team.

I was psyched about the news , and grateful because Tony actually chose me to be an import. Talk about Motivation.Eversince that day i cannot stop thinking about this tournament. I have 2 months to prepare for my fitness and get used playing above grass. I do have doubts about what i will face in this tournament.

But i do think that i have a fair chance to shine.

at last.

my nostalgic memory as a musician with 537 records.

Huge piles of smoke settling in the room. While Fadzil tries to master and experiment with his pro-tools recording machine, Band-friends enter and exit the room as they like. This was where innovative local music was being made at that time. From the glass window, you could see the other room where bands worked with their music as others hanged while waiting for their turn to play. The place gets even livelier at night, and the most memorable one would be when an uninvited gum-addict came knocking to our room of probably more than 10 people.Our response was far from civil as we threatened and chased the poor druggy away. What makes the studio more symbolic is the fact that a large number of local underground bands recorded their works and polished musical abilities at 537 records. In other words, the studio was like a second home for a lot of young people.Humans of all genres have entered this room, Rock and Roll,Metal,Alternative,Black Metal,Hip Hop,Pop,Dancers, even Skaters,and not forgetting to mention the chase we gave the gum-addict whom i doubt would be in a state of sobriety until today.But the most special part of the self-proclaimed institution would be the fact that the studio was owned by an unexperienced 18 year old high school drop out!(Now a music undergrad in Manchester).

Sadly. the studio is now being made as an extended part of Khaz corner's dining experience. The only thing that remains is the glass window which stands both as a landmark and a sign that the place was once upon a time a music playground.I had a lot of flashbacks during my meal as i wasted a hell lot of my college days in that very room. 537 records might be on a temporary break and pending for re-location.But for what its worth,the trippy trip was a very memorable 'waste' for any 17 year old teenage musician to experience. and live-on to. Our band is honored to be a part of 537 records history.

But there is still a long high-way for us to drive through. Both for the label, and the development of our local scene. And if you were to ask me, i would say nothing is impossible. But then again, maybe this last paragraph is just full of 'inggui' over-ambitious, idealistic lines.

Enlighten me.

Circus clowns-> Annoying

Birthday clowns->Sad

One thats just around ->creepy

But if any of them get hurt-> its funny



Thats all i can think of when it comes to clowns.

Heath Ledger.1979-2008


Was searching all day for the best journal coverage of his death. Film.com had an interesting coverage.But in the end, i decided to stay loyal with rolling stone.com and use their story.

Sundance: Shock


January 22, 2008 7:42 PM

The shocking death of Heath Ledger stopped all the usual yammering here at the Sundance Film Festival. It was a day that started with the Oscar nominations and news of the big sale of Hamlet 2 to Focus Features—the Sundance jackpot at last. And yet this afternoon, just after I finished interviewing Josh Peck and Olivia Thirlby, the gifted young stars of The Wackness , one of the hot films in competition, the news of Ledger's death in his apartment in Manhattan hit us like a cold slap. Thirlby sat quietly by herself collecting her thoughts. This was a huge day for the young actress, her film Juno in which she played the pregnant teen's bff, had just been announced as one of the five contenders for the Best Picture Oscar. Both Thirlby and Peck had just talked about where they'd like to be as actors ten years from now. Peck saying that he'd hoped to keep challenging himself to reveal something about the human condition, that acting if it was honest and fearless united us somehow as human beings. His remarks reminded me of my first meeting with Ledger seven years ago when A Knight's Tale put him on the Hollywood map. He and his blond ringlets became prettyboy poster art and he damn near choked on it. Not the movie, just the image branding. Like Peck and Thirlby, Ledger thought of acting as something deeper, a striving toward goal he'd probably never reach. Ledger told me then that if his only offers were for movie-star posing he'd bag the whole thing. Instead, he went on to capture the loneliness of the guarded heart— as a gay cowboy in Brokeback Mountain, as a heroin junkie in Candy. and as a fame-resistant Bob Dylan in I'm Not There. The last time I saw Ledger, just before he started on the role of the Joker in this summer's The Dark Knight, he wore the same crooked grin, the same drop-the-bullshit attitude. He knew acting as an adventure couldn't match being a father to his daughter Matilda Rose. As movie enthusiasts, we will all miss seeing Ledger push against the barriers in roles he'll never play. But the end of his life at twenty eight is the real tragedy. Here at Sundance, in the swirl of deals and Oscar buzz, priorities—at least for the moment—were set straight.

existence of pot .

Normal people hate stoners for an understandable reason. Pot smokers are seen as dumb, narrow minded,child-witted shenanigans,who spend their days flying away their sorrows.They are believed to not contribute anything productive to the economy .However, Open-minded people and a few future-oriented pot-smokers themselves will disagree with this claiming that it is just merely a stereotype generalization from the dry-natured,anti-art society.Besides,who could explain whats going on in the 'abnormal'brain of a pot-smoking cracker other than the pot-smoker him/her/hiher self? .. The downpoint is that negative long-term effects are bound to fuck their brains up, and that these people will remain idealists and a dew will stand out to inspire and mislead future generations like how lennon and jim morrison created a global havoc.All the powerful influence popular culture has on the modern society.Is there a chance for pot-smokers to make it rich unless they make it big in the music industry OR by becoming drug barons?IS there really a real-life future to be proud of?If so,then the post-modern world is moving towards a deeper trend of a moral,secularised breakdown in the new age.

Lastly, on the down to earth side of life, we can say heavy weed-smokers are harmless,funny, people.At-least stoners are peace loving birds who hate war,which is not a bad thing.so dear friends, Do not smoke weed. everyday. enjoy the videos
