Pointless things that I don't have to tell you but I want to anyway.

I have a tendency to give names to my possessions. Here are the who's what.


My Cactus - Kimberly

I got this cactus from Syamimi for my birthday. Come to think of it, I didn't give her any present for her birthday. Fuck. She must think I'm a jerk now.




"My Car" - Marina

Ok lah, it's my mom's car but I have a strong attachment to it. I was inspired by nothing. Thought it is a cool name so I gave it to my mom's car.



My handphone - Irfan

Most of you knew Irfan already. He's a good kid. But sometimes he's a pain in the ass. Lately he refuses to register missed calls. I noticed some of my friends claimed that they had been calling me for several times but when I checked, it did not register any missed calls. I even borrowed a phone to try miss calling Irfan. Still he refuses to register the intended miss call.

Though I've had Irfan since 2006, I just gave him his name last couple of months. I was inspired by a friend who got pissed off with me. He accompanied me on the day I went to buy Irfan, but I was so choosy. He later got pissed off with me and I ended up buying the phone I was checking out at that time.


My laptop - Buck Futter

Actually I just gave that name 2 minutes ago. I am so disappointed with that laptop. I had it since 2006 and it went coo coo earlier this semester. He refuses to boot. A technician said the connecting thingy of the RAM to the motherboard is loose causing the problem. Hard disk was also not stable coz it kept shutting down without warning. Only right speaker is functioning and a leaking battery is like a cherry on top of a shit pile.



My desktop - Amir Hamzah

After Buck Futter was outta service, I replaced him with a desktop. AMD Quad Core, 2 gig ram. My brother Hafiz and his friend Megat helped me to build Amir Hamzah from scratch. I told them a cheap and cheerful one would suffice. But since Hafiz said he may want to borrow my CPU if he wants to test a game, he insisted on creating a gaming spec PC.

I got the name Amir Hamzah from a text book I found at Popular Bookstore in Bukit Raja. I was alone at that time looking around the SPM book section. I saw a history reference book and flicked through it. I saw Amir Hamzah name in one of the Hikayats and was hooked by the name. Amir Hamzah. Woah. Sounds so cool right?



My Desktop speaker - Qasidah Nur Aisha

I came across the word Qasidah from a not so popular song in the 90's but I forgot the title. One thing's for sure, it has Qasidah word in it. A friend of mine told me Qasidah is also a name of one of Sadiq Segaraga's daughter in Tiga Abdul. Actually, in the first place I don't know what Qasidah means. A friend told me Qasidah is a type of Islamic poetry. Nur means light. Aisha means Happiness. Put them together it makes or "Poetry that bring lights and happiness". Or something like that. I kinda like it. It is the only thing that I own that I really gave much thought to name it.





Did you honestly read this post? God, you must be bored as hell.
