somebody on blogspot seems to have already taken my TRADEMARK screen name 'shadowmancer' so i tried 'illusionist' (my 2nd fave choice) but SOMEBODY HAS ALSO TAKEN IT *shock* (yes perasan i know, shattap, it's my first entry here, so i deserve to crap for awhile) so i was tempted to use melati. but im sure that's taken. so i tried melly88 (HAHA). also taken.

if i were to put my full name *insert beautiful melodic full name*, that would results in..daddy finding the blog or something. which i wouldn't want, obviously. =) so i got pissed. and put my current nick ; melmelmelmelmelmel.

it is a simple explanation for a simple nick, for the nick combines only 3 letters from the alphabet.

how is everyone?

let's come back to a short history, okay. i've been staying in penang since 1996. which makes it 10 years! woohhooo!~ i have family here, though, so technically (TECHNICALLY LAA) im like..born and bred in penang? awwwww *sobs*

anyway yes. though i leave, i shall always remember you, stinky, messy island that is barely on the map.

to end the post, let's all stand up and sing the state anthem:

selamat tuhan kurniakan
selamat pulau pinang
negeriku yang mulia, kutaat dan setia
aman dan bahagia
majulah, jayalah
negeriku yang kucinta
bersatu dan bersama
untuk negri kita.

(have you ever wondered how it'd sound like..in a punk version?)
