After my last day/lap in DHIT (OSCC), I was with 1 month and a half without work. Actually, my contract states that I have to give a 3 months notice, and since I had 1 month and half holidays, i exercised my annual leave rights and immediately left right after raya. Thought it would be cool to be a bum. But it was cool, for about a week, then slowly i got restless, the house got smaller and smaller, I'm slowly getting claustrophobic and I'm starting to hear funny things up in the roof top of my house. I think there's a giant snake living in the roof. And...what....? did you say scchhhsss....Nevermind.... thats probably the snake again, or the little dwarfs in the back yard....oh...thats another story. Not wanting to wait till I get crazy enough to see ominous paranormal activity in the house, I tried to make myself busy again.
So I did some training for people. One of it is going to INTAN to teach PHP and MySQL programming for Internet Applications. Oh yeah, if you are interested, you can hire me too....part time that is, i have a full time job now. So about 2 weeks ago I was giving this training, and someone from the class thought that I was 34 years old. I was shock....have I grown that old? I didn't think it would bother me, but later when I went home that day, I can't get that out of my mind. Me, Joey aka. Rizal, mistaken for 34 years old. I'm not even 30 yet. How did I get soo old so fast. Or have I been living in a time warp, where I age faster than other people. So I guess, my life today is at 30:(
Anyway, I talked to my friend Fero (the talented artist) about it. And he thought it was my dressing style. So he suggested that he would volunteer himself as my personal image consultant. He's going to turn me from an old donkey to a young stallion stud. or atleast young short stallion stud. Hereafter, called SSS, or triple S for short stallion stud.
Anyway, Fero said my first task was my hair. Like a great wise sifu, he says, fix the hair, and we get the clothing to match it. I need to do something with my hair. I told him that my receding hairline doesn't help. So I guess, I'm out of luck to look like Antonio Banderas. But what about Lex Luthor look? I'm not cute enough to look like Clark Kent from smallville, but maybe I can look like a good looking evil genius like Lex Luthor......What do you think....become my image consultant today:) Tell me what you think, or what kinda hair style should i go with?
Joey,
ReplyDeletedon't think you'll sport the "botak chin" that well (OKlah, if it makes you feel better - the Lex Luthor look). I've always preferred you with the short crew cut hair. It looks clean (and mean). hee hee
Your present hairstyle does make you look kinda aged (and macam bapak orang - kinda). You know how some married men just let themselves go after marriage : perut boroi, hair a bit too long (kononnye tak de masa nak potong cos his anak berderet-deret) and thinking that smoking around his children is cool.....
Something like that lah.
Anyway, that's my 2 cents worth of comment..... the conclusion is nip it short. It'll make you look clean and youthful
(a true Menteri-Belia-dan-Sukan potential - hee hee, kan Zetty?).
Okay, so no Lex Luthor look haa....I always wanted to be an Evil Genius. I always felt that I'm befitting as an Evil person. Now about the genius part, thats what I have to fake it to make it. Oh well, thanks for the advise sis....
ReplyDeleteHi Joey ,
ReplyDeleteI rasa orang tu ada problem with his eyes, hahaha personnally i think you are such a young man ( i like your attitute, cool) but I do realise that biler you cakap , the way you explain nampak you matured ( cos you pandai and you know what you are talking about ) young man nowadays don’t really know how to talk..... Especially about work and open source and you know it well ... That is all, pandai , old and matured ..... all that is different meaning dearie so i guess maybe he thought you are 34 mungkin sebab cara you cakap (hope you understand dearie) nothing got to do with your style, your baju or others ...
Keep it up , by the way I think the idea nak botak kan rambut tu hmmm think again ya ...

Dude, just 1 month without work u've already grown that old lol. You shuld get help from Queer Guys (the show at 8tv and astro)
ReplyDeleteboss, ada mau try itu Yun Nam Hair Care ka? Now ada offer wo. Kasik tanam rambut, result bagus punya...bukan itu Samy Vellu punya style rambut. Gerenti!
ReplyDeletep/s: whats wrong with a bit of tummy? More to love kehkehkeh.
Miss Rozie,
ReplyDeleteThanks for your compliment, but I'm still trying to have a different look these days. Want to kinda change my image a little. We all have to renew ourselves lah kan....cannot be complacent jer.
Mohtar,
Yeah, I think I should. I guess being Idle kinda make you grow old faster. About getting help from the Queer Guys, hmmm, I'm open minded. I think I can bent a little.
Zetty,
Wa never hear Yun Nam Hair Care Oooo...
Zhege brand new ma? Haode hair stylist ma? Zende ma? Wo yao qu kan-yi-kan. Lu bawa wa tengok ini lujung minggu aaa....keyi ma?
my dear joey...
ReplyDeletethe one that i know who do not care what others think/say and especially not the appearance is now worrying about his hairline?? gee.. is it really the age??
as far I'm concern... you look fine kawan! and to boost your ego (i'm sincere) you're cute and adorable in your own ways. so don't let the hair bother you though it may help a little with the dressing sense. Kak Leila is right about the "macam bapak orang" - sorry dude.
Ahh... yes... lose those slippers when you're out with a girl!
Aiya bro, why so worry about your look. You are smart, and want to do PhD...I know all PhD got no hair one lah...ai yo...how to have hair when they need to think and think all time, u are also like PhD oledi...so no worry...good thing you look like Phd NOW.
ReplyDeleteEh...man no worry about look one lah... believe me bro...man need not look good, they just have to BE GOOD...that is enough. DO good things to your family and bro and sisters...all will be good and blesses...maybe after doing all these good things...you may grow more hair - God's reward. He he he...eh..soli lah joking onli.
I truely think you look kool...take my advice, be what you are and be what you can be (but don't bluddy join the Army huh...), join army no kool one...onli prepare to get kill...soli lah, many people say like that.
About your hair, biasa lah...all men like that lah, mine also like no hair, last time need to comb 10 mins, now less than 1 min can finish combing. sometime also scare to comb too long...all hair come out with comb lah! But I no care lah....I know I am good. Girls want good man in heart, but good look man (with nice hair)- are mostly cheats lah...
So to sum it up, you and I alike, not much hair, do good things, believe in ourselves, be honest and we get good girls in return. You even better, you PhD oh....no joke.
You good lah bro...no worry lah...
I no PhD also, I'm happy...you follow me advice lah...so will bring you happiness one...
Besides, you got good family, your good sister always say so good things to you...I bet she got many hair (do many good things for her bro mah...)
Take care bro,
Ah Bong.
Redwine,
ReplyDeleteHahaha, Mawi world haa. I'm really looking into that. Will try it out one of these days. Though, I highly doubt it that I will be as popular.
Anonymous 1,
Yeah, I guess it must be the age. Once upon a time, joey aka Rizal would care less of what people thought of me. But even Joey knows when to be not arrogant. Though I still hold my old tenets and integrity, I am nmousow a bit self-aware about others perception of me. We all learn from our mistakes and always try to improve ourselves. Thanks for the advise, I'll work on some exercise. But once weight gain, its hard to get rid off. And the slippers, I have already used your advise. I think its working.....Thanks for the advise.
Ah Bong,
Hehehe, thanks for your advise. I guess good will always prevail. But, I'm trying to look younger, and am not trying to win some hearts. But I guess a happy life would make people eternally young. And that's an advise that would last an eternity. Thanks bro.
I think you look perfect no matter what, even with the scholl slippers.
ReplyDeletejoey..

Anonymous,
ReplyDeleteThanks anonymous. I think I know who you are, and you too seem to look all beautiful everytime and anytime.;)
Dazzling,
Well, dazzling, thanks for the compliment.
But I want to get attention like Mawi too...hehehe
What can I say, I'm an attention seeker.
who cares who look like what ...
ReplyDeleteYeah.
ReplyDeleteIf you currently look like you do in your friendster pic, the hair's got to go. Fake blond is not the look for you la Joey :p
Good God, change that picture man!!
Tell you what, I'll rummage through the old pictures at Redlands/JHU and you can use those instead - a return to those glorious Joey-the-stud days *Wink*
So how you've been Joey? It's been ages since we last talked huh... Shoot me an email sometime.
Aizan
p/s: Friendster blogger does suck. All those "so-and-so have updated their blogs" msgs were bloody annoying.
Hay Aizan,
ReplyDeleteI was thinking about you the other day. But damn, I have lost your email a long time ago.
Not that I'm a lousy friend but you know lah, I always forget where I put things. Anyway, nice to hear from you. I'll try to hunt down your email and send a hello.
