Adrenaline Rush

Yes, I am in F1 fever.

I went to the open press conference yesterday.

Had no idea Rosberg was such an eye candy...!



Check out that body! Somehow his shirt was the tightest among the 3 of them...

Hahaha. He's not the best driver but he's definitely the best eye candy...

A Favour for a Friend... (pls read)

The latest news is, as written by Star Online,

The 800gm of “powder” found at actor Khaeryll Benjamin Ibrahim’s condominium unit in Kepong is not cocaine, said the police.


“The 800gm of powder confiscated was not cocaine and we have requested the Chemistry Department to conduct tests again,”.


Why the retest is necessary, i do not know. just like how they needed about 10 plain clothed cops to rearrest my brother after the bail was posted, i do not know. and as much as i try to comprehend, i can't.


I'm just hoping that all of this end soon enough, before my mother breaks down - she has been very strong about this; before my father speaks up - we all know how quiet he usually is; before my sister loses her patience - God knows she already has very little of that; and before my 4-year-old nephew is old enough to realise what is going on, and have these bullshit questions running through his head the way they run through mine.


Thank you very much to all of you out there who are supporting us, praying for us, or at the very least ask us how we are. it means a lot to us, trust me.


one favour i would like to ask from all of you, is to please read the note below, written by my sister Elza Irdalynna, and to perhaps re-post this, if you may. please, and thank you. God bless.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

On March 11th, he was arrested at his apartment's parking lot in Segambut. Police brought him to an apartment he rented in Kepong, and after entering, claimed that in that residence, he possessed 800grams of cocaine, and 140grams of methamphetamine, and accused him of processing and trafficking, putting him under the risk of being charged under Section 39B, which carries the death penalty.

On March 12th he was remanded for 7 days. When my parents inquired if we can engage a lawyer, the Investigation Officer told us "No need".

On March 17th, after our family waited more than an hour, we were allowed to see him for the very first time, under supervision.
Again my mother asked if we should get him a lawyer, again the I.O advised against it, claiming "Lawyer tak boleh buat apa-apa sekarang. Buang duit je. (Lawyer can't do anything now. It's simply a waste of money)."

On March 18th, his remand was extended another 7 days. The magistrate inquired why there was no lawyer present for him, and whether he was made aware he had the right to a counsel of his choice. He replied "No." Therefore, he requested for one, and only nine hours later, did the I.O call to inform my mother, who promptly engaged Amer Hamzah Arshad.

But the very next day, the police used their Executive authority under Section 28A that vetoed his right to a counsel. All requests made by our lawyer to visit him was denied.

Only after we complained to SUHAKAM, did the police allow Amer to visit him.
On the last day of his remand.
After the investigations were concluded.
For only 15 minutes.

On March 25th, he was brought to court, and charged under Section 12(2) for possession of 0.24grams of metaphetamin in his Segambut residence. Nothing the police claimed they found in the Kepong residence, the cocaine and shabu that was "already packaged to be distributed" or the so called "cocaine processing mini-lab" was brought to court.

Because there WAS none.

He was released on bail. A trial date was set. He was so close to being free, and seeing his 4 year old son again.
But as he was signing the papers of his release, the Plainclothes were outside waiting.

Not two steps after he came out of the bail department, without any explanation, they re-arrested him. Amer was restrained from protecting him, and only after Amer repeatedly asked them to show their I.D, did they do so. Still, no explanation was given to the family. We were merely told to go to the Headquarters and speak to Inspector Kang. The same guy who claimed my brother possessed the cocaine they NEVER found.

He never saw us, he was "in a meeting." He wasn't too occupied to give the press a statement, but was unavailable to see us.
We were told by the new I.O for this case, and the DSP (the guy who signed the papers denying my brother the right to a counsel) that they are detaining him for 60 days under the Special Preventive Measures Act (LPK), after which, they could further detain him for 2 years if found guilty.

Guilty according to THEM. For under this act, it is a detention without trial, like the Internal Security Act. Any information gathered from "witnesses" and "investigations" will never be disclosed to him or his lawyer, or the court. He will also not be able to defend himself against any allegations. Under this act, he will never have his day in court.

On March 25th, my brother, Ben, was denied his Constitutional rights.

For 2 weeks, our family went through hell. Sleepless nights, press waiting outside our door, Ben had asthma attacks after the police delayed themselves in acquiring the requested medication for 3 days, Mama, who is a cancer patient herself, suffered chest pains and lost her voice.
We felt it was all worth it, for we would be able to have him back.

But now, a new nightmare has begun.
Whether or not Ben is guilty, should not be for the Police to decide. If they HAD the evidence to strengthen their warrant for re-arrest, why was it not brought to court? Why is Ben not given a chance to defend himself? How can we ever know the authenticity of these so called witnesses and their statements? If there were ANY to begin with?

Under this act, I could simply be caught for any crimes of drug offences the police accuse me of, because they can claim they have enough information (even if they have absolutely nothing) and detain me. For 60 days, for 2 years, and even EXTEND it after.

Acts like this and the ISA are licenses for ARBITRARY arrest and detention. Anytime. Anywhere. Anybody.

My family and Amer will not back down. We will fight for Ben's right. We will speak up for all of those who were silenced before us, who will be silenced hereafter.

But we seek your help. In any way at all, help us fight this. Re-post this, write on your blogs, write to your local representative, to our newspapers, and together we shall use our voice, our art, our space, to stand up not just for Ben, but for all our rights.

Liberty is a Constitutional right. It's time to get it back.


______________________________________________________________

After reading this post by a friend of mine on Facebook, I am super disappointed my Malaysia's legal system. What the fuck is this all about? All our tax money wasted on ONE person that they clearly do not have enough proof to find him guilty but are just finding other measures to keep him detained under
Special Preventive Measures Act (LPK). Can't they spend their time and money finding other criminals out there at large? He is only ONE person!!!

Come on! Isn't it a bit too extreme to even deny his Constitutional rights?

I just don't get it. Isn't it just plain pathetically sad that our police force are resulting in using acts such as this?


Everyone has their rights to liberty and it is unfair to just take it away. It is literally showing how barbaric and ruthless our country is. They will resort to anything to detain a person. If he walks out free does the government compensate him and his family all the emotional suffering they go through every day and every night?


NO!


Lady Justice, the Greek god of justice, the symbol for law. She wears a blindfold indicating that
justice is (or should be) meted out objectively, without fear or favour, regardless of the identity, power, or weakness of the individuals.

A set of weighing scales typically suspended from her left hand, upon which she measures the strengths of a case's support and opposition.


A double edged sword in her right hand which divides with the power of Reason and Justice in either direction simultaneously.

The laws created such as the ISA and LPK is such an insult to this.


This is some serious fucked up shit.....!

Another Day, another waste...

Yes, once again, I stayed home and rot.

Well, I didn't really today. This morning I woke up at approximately 9.30am after sleeping at about 3am. For once, I did not wake up a single time in between. As usual, I went to the computer and checked the usual stuff.

About 5 minutes later mom came in and asked me to go to the bank with her. We ended up going to One Utama for a little shopping trip.

It is sooooo nice walking in a shopping mall during the weekdays.

THERE ARE NO PEOPLE!

Well, there are but way less than when you go on a weekend with Sales. We got back quite early. Not really in the mood to shop at all.

I got myself glued to the computer screen again till about 2 hours ago when I felt sleepy. I seized the opportunity and took a long snooze.

I just woke up! My nose was blocked even when the room is so freaking hot.

Oh crap, I'm falling sick! My body is finally crashing from the sleepless nights. Insomnia is kind of going away now. It comes and goes.

Retarded body of mine....

Sleepless Nights

As usual, I am still not sleeping yet. Bloody sleep disorder is super annoying. I am soooo tired but when I get onto my bed I just end up staring at the dark ceiling for the next hour or two.

Eye bags and dark circles are starting to appear. Its not my fault! Damn.

I am tired to the extend that whatever anyone says, my brain is not processing them. So, I guess my brain is taking its time off already and somehow my body does not want to crash, yet.

I swear, one day I am going to fall sick.

The worse part of not sleeping is not that. It is the freaking boredom! People I usually chat with are mostly asleep already or busy doing assignments. MY brain is rejecting any information from entering. I can't study! I am awake and I can't study.

FML...

Back in Black

The classic colour of black fonts are still the best. I think its easier to read the posts if its black.

It is, as usual, a typical non-productive Sunday where I practically lazed around the entire day again. People complain about having assignments but sometimes I wish I have some to do. One, my exams won't be 100% of the marks. Two, I get to actually DO something. Lecturers do give some homework but they don't bother actually checking them and why should I bother doing them then?


Yeah, yeah you'll say "they are for your own good!" but how many people actually care about doing the homeworks when they do not need to be handed up? I can randomly fill in numbers and it'll looks as though they are done.


Hehehe. I don't actually do that but I could right?

The problem is I don't even bother opening up to the page.

Nevertheless, I am still glad I don't have ASSignments, as Pei Wen calls it.

Its All About the Time

My brain (or body, whichever) keeps waking me up at 3am or 4 am in the morning and I can't seem to shut it down again! I, therefore, lie in bed for the next one or two hours tossing and turning. I wake up in the morning at 7am and get ready for classes. For me, the more I actually force myself to sleep, the more tired I'll end up being the following day. If I sleep at my own will, I can be sleeping for only two hours and last an entire day in class. WITHOUT COFFEE.

But somehow I think I am suffering from insomnia. I can't seem to sleep. When I do I am lethargic. I get super lazy and just no in the mood to do anything but lie in bed and sleep for the rest of my life (well, it feels that way at that time)

So, as a prevention, I am going to be sleeping at 3am.

Then I won't wake up at 3am! =D

Doubt it'll work. But, worth a try. Worse come to worse I'll just sleep more... XD

Plain nonsense...

Oh gosh, I am so loosing my will to do anything. Classes are getting so pointless. I am practically sitting behind class and learning about ethics today. Apparently its suppose to make us more "ethical". I end up spending my credit on messaging random people while in class. Somehow I have now gotten the habit of sitting behind of the lecture theatre.

Class got cancelled this morning. So technically, I don't have to wake up at 7 in the morning getting ready for the most torturing class. I get to wake up at 8.30 this morning! =D

I should be a little happy since I get an extra 1 an a half hours or sleep but I am sooo not because I needed to get my ass to JPJ to change my "P" license to the normal ones.

Speaking of that, I hardly ever drive. I think since I gotten my license two year ago, I drove 6 or 7 times? Yes, it IS countable. I should actually drive more (I say that every single time but it never happens). Why drive when you got drivers? True, no?

Anyways, going to JPJ is SOOOO far from where I stay in Subang freaking Jaya. Jam on the Federal Highway at freaking 10 in the morning for no obvious reasons just makes me, the one who woke up early, even sleepier! I don't get annoyed in traffic but I get super BORED! Songs on the radio keeps repeating itself (I am talking about Boys Like Girls and Taylor Swift's Two is Better Than One). Gosh! I hear it like 5 times a day! Well, its lesser now.

Radios just make you hate the songs that you love. I don't particularly like that song but it just made me dislike it like a LOT.... Come on! There are gazillion songs in the whole world and they just need to play the same few songs everyday? My iTunes can go on for weeks without a repeat!

Bah! And now I am crapping. Sleep makes some people crap like super a LOT. I wonder why. I am not sleeping so early because class is at 8 in the morning.

Sad right? I know!

What to do? Life goes on.....

If money grew on trees...

Finally I finished calculating the-very-slim-chance-to-go-London-to-finish-ACCA plan.

It totals up to freaking RM40,000 just to be there for 6 months! Including my tuition fees.

The horror! The living cost there is such a killer! My course isn't that expensive but the rent, etc, etc is like WTF?

Oh well, I have summarized everything onto a nice piece of paper for my parents.

The chances of me going there?

Super low... =(

I'm sad...... =(

Red Buses and Phone Booths

I was studying for my P1 test on a lovely Saturday morning. I can NEVER study at home. Saturday, it was open day at Sunway. College will be crowded and the library opens only half the day. No point going.

I was stuck studying at home because my mom wouldn't let me study at the nearest Starbucks. So I started dreaming, as usual, when I study at home and a freakish idea came up....

It goes like this...

Me going to London to finish my final P7 paper! Then I'll be working there straight after that. =D

So I got all super excited and totally not studying at all I went online to search for information. Found out that in UK there is a law in the immigration that I have to take a minimum of 3 subjects per semester to apply for a student visa.

I was then feeling all sad. Come on! Getting your hopes up high and it got spoiled....

Then I messaged Isha and she said "Why not take all of your remaining papers there?"

=D

So again I went to research. I can take 3 subjects. Then after that I'll immediately look for a job (I don't mind a small clerk of something) change to a work visa instead. So, if (touch wood) I fail any of the papers I took there, I can resit them by taking Part-Time classes instead. Therefore, I'll be permanently there? I guess I WILL be going? I'm still thinking....

If I do go, I won't be able to go for the July intake (I think its July. Around that la). Its already March! Besides, I will be doing my OBU degree. So I can't be taking 3 subjects plus my report. Too heavy.

So I guess I'll waste off my 6 months doing my degree (which takes only 3 months). I'll be free the next 3 months!

I'm just thinking is it worth it wasting the 6 months and go to London? I mean the living cost there is like expensive. Rental etc. Food will be the same. Well, fast food. (Purchasing Power Parity - shit, I'm studying too much)

And it won't be easy to get a job after I graduate. So its a risk (Shit and now all the stupid ways to manage risk is coming out). I guess I can settle with a small accounting firm first? Get my internship done.

I am in a freaking deep dilemma... =S

To go or not to go??

I'm old!!! =(

On Sunday, went out to watch From Paris With Love with Kimmy, Yen, Yinnie and Worms. It was a nice show!


John Travolta

The singing and dancing guy we all know from Grease has now turned into....

A bad-ass agent in From Paris With Love.


Jonathan Rhys Meyers


Bloody hottie... Hey, I would just go for the movie because he's in it... Hahaha! Somehow people I find hot are older (Kimi Raikkonen?).... =S

What other reasons to watch it? It constant actions! XD

Anyways, after that we were literally wondering around thinking what to do. We decided to find somewhere, sit down, chill and basically talk crap.

Sit and talk...

Dyamn! I am feeling old!!!!!

I need to do something before I officially turn 20 in August. I will no longer be a teen.

NOOOOOOOO!

Cars...

Check out the new F1 saftey car this year!

Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG

Check out the specs wei! XD

0 to 100 km/h in only 3.8 seconds

Awesome shit wei...

Its apparently the
fastest Formula One safety car in history. I don't really like how it looks though. Dislike gull-wing doors. They ruin the look of the car. Still prefer Audi R8...

Looks familiar? Its the car Tony Stark was driving in Iron Man... =P
