SO yeah after a hiatus of about 2 weeks?..yes?.no?..anyways,i thought id write in this post..instead of a video..been awhile since i wrote eh..so yeah.exam season.fa la la la la la la laaaa...yeah..christmas was yesterday and i spent it studying..fruitlessly scrounging through my damn anatomy text book..god..the human body..so complicated...exams were a load of bull poo..No wonder i hate exams so much..today i finally finished with anat paper one..last theory paper is on Tuesday..or was that Monday?..whatever,that's not the point..one of those days..whats it to you...But yeah.I'm coming back on the 11Th..and will spend a week in KL..before coming back..dayum..i need a holiday..fish paste!!!...
Anyway for this post i wanted to write something that i don't think you guys knew about..Or maybe you did..in my ignorant state of mind.might have overlooked that fact..but let me go on..ok ok..you guys remember that movie Black hawk down?..The one where the copter crashes in Somalia and a gun fight ensues for like 2 days?..you guys remember??..The one were the Americans, are as usual,dubbed the heroes and the Somalians the bad guys?..so yeah anyway..that movie was based on a true story..Like a real life one..(duh roshan!)..but here is where it gets interesting..the movie was NOT AT ALL like the true story...here's the jest of it..
A group of American troops accompanied by their night copter team,the black hawks(it's a helicopter team ok,not black birds the size of planes) were on their way to kill some Somalians or something,faithfuls loyal to the crazy warlord chap,Mohamed Farrah aidid(he's the bad guy)..so yeah the Americans thought they would kick some black ass and win right..like how they did in Nam,oh wait, thats right they DIDN"T!!.so anyway.being American they said "lets get em boys"..and decided it would be a piece of cake..sadly,their blind confidence did not do them any good..(as usual)..and their convoy,due to wrong gps coordinates.were broken up and they ended up in the Somalians stronghold..so when the Somalians sniffed the air and caught a whiff of white boys.the decided to attack them..and my oh my it was grand..the helicopter teams thought they'd shoot some black men and get it over with,but the Somalians RPGed(rocket propelled grenade) their asses..thus During the operation, two U.S. UH-60 Black Hawk helicopters were shot down, and three others were damaged. Some of the soldiers were able to evacuate wounded back to the compound, but others were trapped at the crash sites and cut off. An urban battle ensued throughout the night. Early the next morning, a combined task force was sent to rescue the trapped soldiers.
And yes,unlike the movie in real life,the combined task force were made up of MALAYSIANS.PAKISTANI and AMERICAN teams..these 3 teams were sent to rescue the others..see in the movie,NO Malaysians or even Pakistanis were ever mentioned..jackasses man..so yeah anyway,They assembled some 100 vehicles, including Pakistani tanks (M48s) and Malaysian Condor armored personnel carriers, and were supported by U.S. A/MH-6 Little Bird, and UH-60 Black Hawk helicopters. This task force reached the first crash site and led the trapped soldiers out. The second crash site was overrun and pilot Mike Durant, the lone surviving American from that site, was taken prisoner but later released..a bunch of Somalis were killed,estimated around 1000-1500..and sadly, Eighteen American soldiers and among the UN forces, one Malaysian soldier died; seven Malaysians and two Pakistanis were wounded..I'd like to mention the soldier's name,Mat aznan awang.who died in the battle when an RPG hit his windscreen and exploded..he was posthumously awarded the Seri Pahlawan Gagah Perkasa.Malaysians highest award for bravery...He was part of malaysia's very own commando unit GRUP GERAK KHAS..May his soul rest in piece..
SO yeah,the next time when you think Malaysian forces are chumps..well take a second to think about the Battle of Mogadishu 1993..have a good day ya'll..

This piece of crap video took me an entire day to process..

You gotta turn up the sound a lil...i can hardly hear anything...
or maybe its cuz im just deaf..oh crap...
Yeah,yeah so I'm 21 now..legal enough to vote..get married,have children,work,bla bla pay income tax..etc etc...I'm old..i get it..thanks though for all the wishes..i love you guys..who wished me..what?..think I'll love you if you didnt?..hah!!..id rather kiss a cobra than love you guys..lol..
so yeah,i went to Salem(not to be confused with the one in Massachusetts,USA,this is in India.remember to set your watch back 20 years upon your arrival here..:( ) ..about 5 hours from where im situated..My brother is there..so my family came down to make my bday 'eventful'..geez..so i left this bleeping hostel which i despise so much at the break of dawn last Sunday..at about 5.45am.to the disgustingly atrocious bus stand..The area is deplorable..it's like vice city there..
It's filthy,congested, etc etc.you get my drift...All the buses around india come there i guess..i thank god for private buses..the government buses,or the cheaper ones are horrible..like chariots to hell more than anything..it's like sitting in a death trap in one of those..you should rather write your will while purchasing your ticket more than anything..And the people who take those buses are not really the cultured lot..the type who'd spit right onto your path,and hack their brains out right in your face..and fall all over you when they doze off..plus!.no air conditioning!!..AC is vital during the hotter days..very very vital..so that's why i count my blessings for private buses.
anyway,bla bla bla,i met my brother,some of his friends parents bla bla bla fast forward boring boring boring,bla bla bla..birthday day..bday day was ok in the morning..Till i got to the part where i had to go out with my parents..food for thought,going shopping with my parents a.k.a mum is the most boring thing besides studying that ill ever encounter in my life.i down right HATE it!!...i mean i love my ma and all,but not shopping..i HATE IT!!!...and she way she cons me into shopping..a typical convo would go like this
ma:hey boy,lets go out,just for like 10 minutes and come back.
me:*rather gullible at times*..oh OK,as long as it's not Ur shopping..
And as you know,after 3 hours and one major sulk after the other.we come back.god i cant stand going from one shop to the other,picking up the same looking thing..and then not buying anything!..god i cant stand it..i just wanna tear my hair out and feed it to some passing cow,when that happens..god..so yeah,that was the jist of my bday..whee....how memorable..not..:(..
i can't remember anymore things..Salem is a dingy town..people have not acquired the art of wearing pants..they do their daily chores in their sarongs..it's pretty laid back..there's alot of cows there..it's a picturesque place..But that's as far as it goes..but the Malaysian hostel environment is awesome..i like it a lot!...lol..
but yeah,I'm back now..i wanna sleep...bye..
