"khalid dh sampai tol JB"

And i sat there, sebak..
After so much years of living, years after i got to know love between a man and a woman do exists, years after I experienced my first so called love.. this is the man, i've found who has the sincerity in his heart. a pure sincerity that never be able to find inside men/boys who claimed to love me before. He burden himself to satisfy me, tore between a sister and a girlfren. I know he came with not so much of money and was tired after he took care of his sister days before but he managed to come. He didnt need to come..
Thank you so much, for the visit, even tho it was short but it is very very much appreciated.
Love you syed muhamed khalid.

08 APRIL 2006

On the 5th April 2006, 9.2o pm I shook hand with our ex-president, Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad.

Me n Tapau went campus at 7.40pm and waited proximately 2 hours just to shake hand with our own international icon. This was the one chance of a life time for me.

Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad visited an event organized by MMU students. An event mainly about learning other cultures and coutries and was called "Around the world in 3 days". As the husband of MMU's chancellor, Dr. Siti Hasmah Mohamad Ali, he showed a moral support towards the student activity .

He arrived with his BMW of his at 8.30 pm and this is the first time I set my eyes on this petite man. He and his wife went straight to visit the booths first at the CLC concourse. One booth represented one country and each of these booth had something to present to the Dr. M. I am not sure how many booths there were but it took another one hour or so to wait.

I've lined up with the others with the camera ready in my hand. My idea was to take a picture of me and him when he walk by the path from CLC to the library. I waited patiently while my brain is processing and recalling what I have read in the evening. ( I had midterm exam the next day) Kesian Tapau kene berdiri lama. Then later, I saw a crowd walking towards the student's line. I was so ever excited. "Nak Salam , nak salam" i jumped up and down like 5 year old girl excited over a candy. The crowd was consist of the brutal press, pak gad MMU pon ada I think , as well as the bodyguards. Slow slow dia jalan and everything was in order until a guy in front of me jumped to take picture with Dr. M. The bodyguard was like meluru in the sense of nak protect the idol, since takut Dr. M nak kene cucuk dek pisau oleh the guy. So everything went kelam kabut and the guy's camera plak made such a fool, took a lot of time to take the picture. So when my turn to shake hand with him, the bodyguard was all over him as well as the press. I've had my foot stepped by Trevor, lost my slipper and got pushed by pakcik guard. Aduhh.. So I missed menyalam Dr. M. So i ran back at towards the end of the line and tolak a girl out of line and step in her place.. Huhuhu kejam but wat to do.. Then Dr. M arrived at the place I stood and shook hand with him. Lembut tangan dia. He 81 years old and cute. He was smilling but to no one in particular. Sweet. The guy at the back of me, shouted " Tun, I love you.. I love you" Tergelak dlm hati aku. I cannot find the girl who i pushed to appologize since i didnt look at her face. If u reading this girl, who ever you are I am sorry but you must understand, IT WAS TUN DR MAHATHIR MOHAMAD, you see. I do anything to shake hand with him. . Balik balik umah jer aku pening. Agaknyer aku dah absorb his ilmu into my brain and my brain cant handle too much ilmu kut..Hehhehhe

Its not easy to shake hand with Dr. M, I've got my foot stomped, lost a slipper (but i found it back right after) , pushed by a Pak Gad and being cruel by pushing the girl out of her line. It was a memorable experience.
