Love to read, a lot, whenever I can get my hand on a good book, and also watching movies (have a ton of VCD which my mom always say "yang berlonggok tu nak buat apa"), I love to take pictures whenever I can. Have a tendency to snap on impulse. Takes bad pictures, trying to learn how to take better pictures. Other past times include cycling and table-tennis. I write poetry when the urge and need is there, need inspirations to do that Spend hours in front of the computer, mostly online I don't play computer games though. Prefer to tinker with it.

Personality wise, I'm funny, tend to do some very crazy stuff at times, example is here, open minded, simple yet deep down complex. I'm extremely friendly, though I have this very serious looking face I also have a very nasty tongue, even my friend admits to me being a bit of a "laser" (more from my friends in Quotes)

*Excerpts From Emode
You just love to love, don't you? We can tell that you're a die-hard romantic who appreciates the deep sentiment that loving, meaningful words and actions bring to life.
We think it's pretty safe to say that you're a Smooth Flirt.
Rahman, your theme song is I Feel Good!

Nickname
The nick karlbum doesn't really carry any special meaning. The nick has had a ton of meaning attached to it, most simple is from the word Qalbun (arabic:heart) because I'm such a romantic at times Other justifications includes karl + bum .. karl for karl marx , I happen to have the same sort of radical / weird way of thinking. BUM can either be the brand or maybe because I'm a lazy bum The nick was actually used on the undernet as an alter ego for me to chat on #teen and #teens (cenel melayu mana ada sgt pon)
