Zulkarnain Sadali. I'm nineteen but I tend to forget so I unknowingly tell people I'm eighteen. Ridiculous, I know. I'm a rockstar in between the sets, no eyeliner and cigarettes. Life is magical, but its not so fantastic. Oh.
A student in Temasek Polytechnic's IIT School, majoring in Interactive Media Informatics, (IMI) with intentions of making it in the Media industry, a far cry from anything in IT. But I'm open to its possibilities.
I like to leave a little mystery in everything I type, and certain times I do not like to be obvious. I rather speak in tounges and cryptically because that's how I roll. But I always stand by my beliefs.
Just like Hannah Montana, I get the best of both worlds. I like fun but I don't mix anything together. Except when socialising though. Anything goes.
I'm a good boy, most of the times. Of course I shan't deny. I can be a real devil.
I repeat, I stand by my beliefs. If you don't like it, then you should put a red X on it.

Sand, Tan and Friends! Yep! After the Week Zero camp, the IIT School (along with the new batch of Freshmen) joined forces and took over Pahlawan Beach! It was UH-MAY-ZING! I think I have so many children now. HAHA.
YOU HAVE TO WATCH IT IN HQ. So what do you think? IIT school isn't small, huh! We're an amazing bunch, no?
So now that we've reached Sentosa...
TIME TO SABO SOME PEOPLE AND THROW THEM INTO SEA!
In the sea, we sat in a circle and played games. Losers had to do a forfeit. The game is that everyone must say a number, if at any point in time someone says the same number at the same time, then they have to do a forfeit. In this case...
This was never the way I planned. Not my intention! (NAME THAT TUNE!) I had to do that with a few guys while kissing some girls on their cheeks.
It was fun. HAHA.
It's time to TAN!
OK. I know that's not the most flattering of all photos of me, but I find it cute and funny. And while tanning, Desmond and Jamie decided to drop by.
HAHA. I was already really tanned. Proof?
And this photo is LOOOOOOOOOOONG before the first of the tanning set. HAHA. I was one of the hardcore tanners, lah please.
I swear, everyone was in love with my straw hat (lovingly bought by Amirul!)
Why? Because Atiqah (that hot chick right there, whom I also stole a couple of pictures from) 'stole it'.
I had to steal this photo. Look at the background (apart from her stealing my hat) Fill in the blank: The people in the back are ______________.
Coburn was spotted wearing the hat too.
Ahmad, Sky and Coburn. And I swear I'm gonna miss these seniors of mine who pushed me like mad during the Dragon Boat training. They're an awesome bunch, SRSLY.
Ready? Let's go. HAHA (See how enthu I was? Even brought out my SPIDERMAN picnic mat.)
After that, the whole day was done, my C241 freshies that actually stayed all the way, Bryan and Jun Xiang had dinner with me and Cheryl and the rest of the IITSC gang that stayed at Vivo. Peep the pics!
Nicholas and Bryan, second row with Cheryl, Thomas, Me and Jun Xiang!
Yes, I am IN LOVE with Thomas. NOT. HAHAHAHA. No, I'm really not!
Act cute? No! WE ARE CUTE!
You watched the video, you know how rare he smiles. I swear I was excited when he smiled for this photo. Mr. Ang, you are a mystery! HAHA.
and one with Little Miss Cheryl herself. <3
I'm really glad I have awesome friends and freshies within IIT school. :) And thanks to Nicholas, Atiqah and Cheryl for the images.
Cos You're My Best Friend

Dominic's birthday was last Monday (2oth) but since it was the first day of school, we pushed our celebration to today and it was fun while it lasted.
Earlier in the morning I was running around Tampines trying to get his gift together. I swear, the wrapping was horrible but from one angle it looks fine, kinda like a clutch. But whatever, I met him after school at 6pm at Pastamania.
We ordered our food and I'm disappointed with myself. I ordered the wrong food and got crappy pasta, oh never mind. Check my tan out.
I am so retardedly orange.
Okay. Confession: I'm a little pissed because...
The manager told me that I cannot have the cake I bought for Dom there. Its like, WTF. I spent so much at Pastamania and Dom couldn't even eat his damn cake. Like WTF.
I didn't gave a damn so I took the cake out while Dom was ordering another plate of pasta for us to share. I lit the candle and everything seemed to be going fine.
When Dom came back, it was his face that lit up. Aww. That made my day. HAHA.
Then you know what? After that, the manager came back to me and insisted that we take the paper plates that he gave us and have the cake elsewhere. I mean, what the hell ran through your head?
I understand the policy of, "No outside food" but dude, it's not like we brought Pizza Hut, KFC or McDonalds to be consumed, it's a fricken birthday cake! In fact, it was just a slice!
GASP. I couldn't stand the nonsense and fuckery of it all but I didn't show any anger because it wasn't my day, so it's okay. HAHA.
The card and the present. Told you it looks like a clutch.
That's the gift I got for him. The bag.
Confession, again: I loved the bag so much I got one for myself, but it was a different design.
Left: Lightning bolts for Dom, Right: Polka dots for me.
AHH YES. The traditional stank face.
I LOVE YOU, MAN! psst: for my 20th, I want a huge ass chalet party!
Most of us planned to meet up for lunch but Sarah called in and told us she was struck by food poisoning, which was really sad. To cheer her up, during our lesson, we made an impromptu video(es) for her so that when she watches this, she'll be fine.
Oh, and I'm not supposed to have this class with them, but I just popped by because my 3D lesson got cancelled. HAH.
Its these moments with my class, C212 that I will miss most.
We made so much noise, the class next door couldn't stop complaining! LMAO!
I'm glad that he's here. He's my best friend so I'm happy he came. My wish is that he and I stay best friends.
Amin.
P/S: I actually usually have a speech every birthday, but this year I was too busy so just laugh and listen to the video well. I'll do a speech sometime this week:)
P/P/S: I was born on a Friday afternoon! I will OFFICIALLY turn 19 at about 1pm! :D YAAY
It was a really long day. I partied like hard, photographed like mad and I fell in love on the dance floor.
The day started with me running off from Chingay rehearsals early. I was with Aini, Jamilah, Jeffrey and Nur. We headed to NP to see Hairul's Silat performance. (If you don't know what Silat is, check out the following videos)
Hairul would take sometime before it was his turn to perform so the five of us decided to go for a photoshoot! HAHA. It was impromptu of course. Ngee Ann Poly's Photography Club hooked us with these awesome photos.
Aini, Me and Jamilah with our solo shots.
Jeff, Me, Aini, Jamz and Nur :D Awesomeness!
But whilst waiting for them Hairul, I decided to chill at their stage area and this awesome band started playing.
Armchair Critic.
Instantly I fell in love with them. Woah! Well, they're really good! I'm so gonna get their EP. Hit them up on MySpace!
Halfway, Jeffrey left to meet his friends. Then my wristwatch struck two and it was time for Hairul's performance! It was priceless.
But when Hairul's competitor 'killed' him, I was ready to get in the ring to kick his ass, I swear. It felt too real. Especially when your BBFF is slaughtered like that. Ahh, so now you know what it means eh! HAHA.
When Hairul was done and we said our goodbyes, initially, it was planned that we hit Singapore Polytechnic but we were running out of time as a dance competition was gonna be held at Republic Polytechnic (RP). :D
We went to Clementi MRT Station to pick Haiqal up! Jamilah had this thing called the Virtual Barbershop and it was so realistic! All of us took turns to try and we gave so many expressions, I was squirming all around! But Haiqal was the best.
He was SO into it!
We met up with Jamilah's friends, Wati and Nafisah. Once we reached RP, the dance competition was almost over! But we were lucky enough to catch the winners, FreakZy NutZ as they won first prize! They were amazing!
When they were over, we decided to walk around RP since most of us were RP virgins. RP is so looks so amazing that when we got off the bus, our jaws were literally on the floor!
Aini, Nur, Jamz, Haiqal, Nafisah, and Wati kneeling down.
This was really a random countdown shot.
Culinary Friends.
Awesomesauce.
J'yeah!
Take one and take two!
We look unflattering. HAH. But he's still my friend, yo!
Queen Jamz and I
Who can forget Aini? :D
GASP!
It's not over yet!
The QUEEN is REALLY here!
Why so? Apparently, the Photography Club at RP had a better idea!
Before...
After!
We continued to peruse the exhibitions. Ahh, connect us!
Jamz, Wati, Aini, Haiqal, Nur, Me and Nafisah
A few more...
Hot. (and my ass was hurting sitting on those rocks)
and one final one before we left RP!
Wait, left RP for where? TEMASEK POLYTECHNIC'S JAM AND HOP!
But I ain't taking photos of em, but I know photos are bound to float around FaceBook. Farah took a lot of photos of me at the dancefloor, but I don't know if I'll get them. I don't really mind if I don't get it, somehow. I even went up on stage for a freestyling dance competition, but that doesn't matter.
I fell in love on the dancefloor. And I giggle like mad when I think about it.

There are just some things better left unsaid... Or UnEdited!
This is part of a new video series (aside from DONT-CHA DOCU) where I go around and the videos are not edited. No intro videos, no background music, no fade out, no usage of iMovie.
These videos are SHORT, less than 5 minutes, sometimes lesser than 3 minutes. It's all in fun.
This is the first episode, and hopefully, you'll laugh as much as I did.
And as a treat, this year, I won't be showing you guys my favourite scene from Mean Girls, but a special video by Destiny's Child!
EDIT: I had to rush, because I accidentally hit save while I was editing the new layout. I miss my old layout already. It was the best ever vector design ever.
Comment Questions: 1) What do you think of the new layout? 2) Videos? Yes/Yes? 3) Will you get me something for my birthday?
P/S: Thanks Danish for your help! CLICK ON HIS FACE ON THE SIDE!
She plays four different characters. Herself, her boyfriend/partner's colleague, a waitress and a chauffeur. All of them look totally different and are her alter ego. You HAVE to check the video out!
I SWEAR IT'S BETTER THAN GIMME MORE.
And in other news... he is Danish!
Happy birthday, my now slightly more matured friend! :D
Please ignore my screechy voice. I only have my genes to blame for.
Sing-a-long. Yes, I performed this last yaer. It was awesome.
I wish my readers, friends and family a Selamat Hari Raya! If I have accidentally said or done anything that might have offended you, please do forgive me. Throw away the old, and in with the new.
Yes, even yours truly is starting a fresh with some people.
NOBODY by The Wonder Girls! Check the awesome video out, its inspired by Dreamgirls, but its ever so original. And yes, they are my new obsession!
I'm all tired out from F1 and constantly surveying people. But that didn't stop me from spending my day with Dominic. He asked me out early in the morning in search of a job. I didn't really care much for jobs, I can barely maintain my schedule... But again, I digress.
The sky was cloudless and the heat was giving me a stroke. My painstakingly straightened fringe was hard to maintain, considering the heat was making me sweat and it affected the hair. BAHH.
I met Dom at my bus stop and we hopped on bus 5. Dom and I were covered in sweat; yes, the heat was that bad. We stood up initially but attacked for seats. Damn that white guy for taking "our" seats. Allegedly.
We got off at Far East Plaza and walked around Orchard. I actually got us lost. The construction at the train station and the ever-changing direction of exits confused me. I was literally in knots to the point we got the wrong exit.
Eventually we reached the malls, Wisma and Taka, but decided to pass because it was a little to uppity for his taste, I guess. We continued to walk at soon reached The Heeren. I suggested Dom to take a look at NewUrbanMale considering his built body, they would hire him just for entering the store, but apparently you need to apply online. Ohh they gets technological.
We eventually reached Billabong, and Dom had to fill in forms. URGH, that boy. I filled his form up for him because his handwriting was, easily put, t'was a doctor's. And my handwriting is neater. Tsk.
Well, without realising, it began to rain but luckily we decided to catch a bus to our next destination, Plaza Singapura. Dom needed the bank and he had to buy a set of cymbals, crashes and hi-hats. Drummers, you know what I mean, right?
At Yamaha, it was so awesome. Dom took hours to make up his mind, so I played with the keyboards, the hi-hats and the Latin Percussions. I had a mad time, pretending to speak in some foreign accent, "JAMAICAN ME CRAZY!" (Did you get that line?)
Eventually, about hours later, Dom eventually made up his mind and I was delighted. I was in a celebratory mood, so I decided to pose with an electric guitar. And yes, it was working and no, I didn't create noise. Well, at least not THAT much noise.
Just some pretentious pseudo guitar strumming.
I absolutely love this shot. Friendster, it will go.
Wahh! It's like a rockstar under the super trouper lights!
When we were finally done with our purchases, we decided to head down for dinner. We were torn between Swensen's and Secret Recipe. I really wanted Swensen's because its been quite sometime since my last ice cream.
When we eventually got comfortable with our seats, Dom began to look very uncomfortable.
"What's wrong?" I asked.
"I kinda miss Secret Recipe," he weakly said, reminiscing the cakes we always chowed down.
"So why didn't you tell me that when we were outside?!"
We eventually packed our things and left. Indeed I missed the cakes as well. Eventually our food came and you can actually refer to our old photos of Secret Recipe. (Go to the search function, if you bother, lol.)
Again, pre-dinner jitters. We also had our first kurma, or dates. Those dried up grapes. Yeah, tasted like raisins. I didn't know it ws that nice!
My Chocolate Indulgence. :)
Dom's easily mistaken-for-earth, Almond Choclate
Our cakes, as usual, we delicious. Once done, we headed for a special store...
DAISO! and again, I went nuts.
Dom and I soon concluded our night with a train ride he unwillingly accepted, (because I had train consession and he had the bus) and we took the bus home.
Did I mention Dom spent... A very high amount on the cymbals, crash and hi-hat? Rolling high, this time, he paid for dinner. Happiness.
SRSLY.
