The Child in Me

Of fishes,barges and barfs....

2011-07-19T20:05:00.001-07:00

Last saturday i decided to join my eldest bro on a fishing trip. Dah lama dia ajak tp ada je aral yg menghalang aku join. This time the timing was good so I decided what the hell....g jerla. Kebetulan aku in the middle of my MBA semester break, so might as well do something productive with my weekend

Inila post yg terselamat dr posting panjang yg aku buat semalam. Patah hati nk tulis balik...aku share gambir sahaja...huhuhu

Camwhore atas sampan...sgt bahaya...silap gaya phone terjupn tiruk masuk laut

Membelah badai menuju destinasi...rumah api kat tengah laut

Gambo side profile...masih takut phone cepelum masuk laut

Alamak terlewat seminit dah ada org chop daaa...camno ni....

Mancng dari atas sampan jela...mula2 berlabuh tepi barge...tp ubah port sbb ikan kurang

Sesi bergambar terhenti buat sementara waktu...reason? Aku first time mabuk laut lepas 31 thn hidup dimuka bumi.hohohohoeho

Hasil tangkapan hari ini...mostly tamban with a few cencarus n selar kunings n other assorted fishes. Bolehlaaaa...tak sesia aku muntah sampai perut kosong.hahahaha

King bukak the king of fruits...fresh wooo...rumah dia ada abt 4 pokok durian n durian ni baru luruh...nak tengok isinya?

Tadaaaaa....mmg sedap,lazat berkrim n menjilat jarilah! Mmg sgt power..bilala aku nk g mkn lg ni....

sesi membahagi-bahagikan ikan. Nmpk sikit tp believe me mmg banyak giler

Angle lain plak

Solo ride to penang....

2011-07-11T02:51:00.001-07:00

Sabtu 9hb julai 2011....a day that will live in infamy for the bersih2.0 street protests. I heard there was quite a big turnout. Alhamdulillah, Malaysia was not plunged into into the chaos and anarchy that was predicted by the naysayers.

Because I predipcted that there would be terrible jams all over KL, I made a decision to balik kampung on that Saturday. Mesti aku akan terperuk je kat rumah sbb jam adalah salah satu benda yg aku paling tak suka sekali. Lagipun aku dah lama tak balik kampung n lama tak ride jauh. Jadi pada hening subuh 9Julai...lepas solat subuh...kemas2 barang sikit, mkn sket buat alas perut and aku pun bertolak dalam kol 7 kot. Mintak maapla ye jiran2ku...awal2 pagi falco dah mengaum.Perghhh...sejuk sungguh tapi mmg best. Turunke MRR2, jln clear je...then masuk DUKE n terus shoot jln Duta. Sampai kat Shell Duta, stop jap. Minum2 sket n check tyre pressure sbb masa corner tak sedap n cam fishtail sket.huhuhuhu...rupanya tyre depan n blkg low pressure...alhamdulillah nasib baik sedar sblm jln jauh. Dah siap isi angin,...terus cargas. Syok jugakla ride sorang kengkadang ni.smpai kat hentian tanjung malim singgah kencing kjap n rehydrate balik. Short pit stop dlm 15mins then gerak balik. Syok melayan angin sejuk awal2 pagi ni...

Sampai kat Tapah, singgah jap utk refuelling break. Lepas isi minyak...beli 100+ sebotol n lepak jap kat tepi stesen minyak. Tiba2 I was approached by this chinese guy wearing a sleaveless HD tshirt. Sembang2...rupanya ex-biker. Bila dah kawin terpaksa let go moto sbb bini tak berkenan. Huhuu aku harap aku tak jadi macam tu la. Apparently he works for al- jazeera. Dahntau camtu it was only inevitable that the topic would switch to the bersih2.0 rally. Sembang punya sembang dekat 50 mins dah berceloteh...sebelum berpisah tu kami sempat exchange cards.

This is the joy of riding...bila jumpa a kindred soul...skin, race, religion doesn't matter anymore. Total strangers boleh bersembang mcm long lost brothers. Jadi bertolak la semula. Matahari dah semakin tinggi ni so la sikit sbb malas nak ride masa tengahari...nnti ngantok. Oh yes...sepanjang perjalanan aku ke Penang aku tak terfikir langsung nak ambik gambo.heheheho. Made a couple of pitstops of around 15mins each utk minum n kench. Alhamdulillah....by 11am smpai kat Penang. Ayah terkejut bila aku smpai sbb aku mmg tak cakap kat mama n ayah yg aku nak balik. Satu sbb ada kebarangkalian tak dibenarkan balik naik motot...n satu lg ada kebarangkalian ayah tak bg balik sbb takut terinvolve dgn bersih in one way or the other masa otw nk blk tu.hehhehe. That's my dad...the worrier. Tp xpe, risa sbb syg. Masa sampai dpn rumah aku sj ram2...lepastu g kat gate saja xbukak shoei kiyonari aku...dahla visor irridium...wakakak. Last2 aku bukak gak helmet...masuk rumah n bsalam ng mama n ayah. Alhamdulillah mama n ayah happy aku balik.hheheheh. Okla total time for the tripdalam 4hours plus. Total time for pitstop dlm 1 jam 30 mins. So total riding time 2jam++ almost 3jam la. Bawak slow je...plg laju pn 170kmh je

Tengahari aku g bli nasi ayam periuk besar. Not badla...sedap.aku suka nasi dia.mmg layan. Nect time aku review sket...ni lapar sgt smpai xsempat snap ke apa...terus masuk perut je. Dok tunggu my sis n family dia balik...diorang g ekspo usahawan bumiputra kat dewan millennium n ada series of ceramah. One of the session is by Doc SMS. *rolls eyes*. My nephew told me that one of the things he said was....to be a good astronaut you have to be a good actor. I mean like WTF La kan. Sorry does that mean that it was all an act? I mean like sheesh la....jgnla degrade sgt the whole thing smpai mcm tu. Dem pretty boy...

Malam tu g pasar mlm kepala batas. Lama dah rasanya tak g pasar mlm sini. Prices still ok n xdela mahal sgt mcm kl. Aku beli yong tau foo, cheesy wedges and air tebu. Best2.

Sunday...

Hmmm sunday already...time to go back to KL...dis time aku re ind myself to take pics to document the trip. Aku bertolak dgn hati yg berat at around 11.40am kot. Just a smidgen over 24hours and I am already going back. Bila la aku nk boleh blk Penang terus ni.... Aku meninggalkn Penang dgn hati yg berat. Keluar je dr bdr Putra, terus fuel warning light naik. Emmm...isi kat Petronas Bertam lah. Masuk2 petronas bertam...tgk kiri...tgk kanan...adeshhh semua ron95....laaaa 97 tadak kaaaa.emm takpe...bnyk lg minyak ni...at least 40-50km blh lps lagini. So Ambik keputusan isi dkt jawi. Alhamdulillah kat jawi ada ron97.topup penuoh2....rm40.65. Huhuhuhuh.Lps isi minyak..bedal air mineral sebotol then trus cargas. Sepanjang perjalanan stop dlm 4 kali...each time dlm 15-20mins. Selalunya stop utk minum n kech. Kadang2 lapo benti mkn snek sket. Oh ya...lupa nak citer....mama masak nasi lemak utk aku mkn sebelum aku balik. Huhuhhuhhu...nasi lemak mama+long ride=deadly combination. Bila makan nasi lemak mama mmglah perlu bertambah2...pulak tu xbawk bag so xblh nak tapau, jadi harus makan lebih sikit. Masaah timbul bila perut asyik berlanggar ng tank...terasa nasi lemak nak keluar balik. Hahahah. Tp xpe...bkn senang nk dpt rasa masakan mama. Anyway aku smpai around 4 pm....here are a few pics yg aku sempat snap...

Thus ends my solo ride to penang. Check y'all out later....love, peace n chicken grease!

Japan GT weekend...

2011-06-30T21:25:00.001-07:00

Aritu Cik Mas bukak booth dekat Japan GT di Sepang. Aku dengan pantas mengoffer diri utk teman. Free all access pass tu...mana nak dapat kan? So pagi sabtu awal2 pagi aku telah sampai di rumah Cik Mas. Dengan secepat koko kami telah bergerak menuju ke Sepang. Aku drive Myvi ayah Mas. Aku sgt kagum dgn myvi ni...walaupunkereta compact...tp disebabkan oleh fall flat seatsnya...sungguh mudah utk mengisi macam-macam barang...kadang2 barang yg tak muat waja aku boleh masuk kat myvi ni.

Masuk Seremban highway,kami exit kat tol Nilai. Masa nak bayar tol tu, aku tak sedar cik Mas pass aku duit rm50 dengan syiling (80 sen tak salah aku sbb tol RM1.80). Lepas bg duit tu, palang naik n aku terus gerak then tiba2 Cik Mas ckp td dia bg RM50. Aku mati-mati ingat singgit sbb berlipat. Aku brake n reverse...nasib baik baru gerak sikit je n xlepas half body myvi tu dr palang. Biasala pagi- pagi mamai sikit. Hehhehehe. Bila dtg kat window tollbooth tu...aku tgk minah tu buat muka tak puas hati,dok geleng-geleng kepala sambil ngomel-ngomel. Aku dah mula nak terbakar....aku admit, salah aku sbb nak cepat...tp kau apahal nak tak puas hati?aku tau kalau aku chow,ko mmg akan masuk dlm poketla duit tu kan? Tak puas hati ke tak dapat nak cekau duit orang?gemor sgt ke nak mkn duit haram? Aku tanya kat dia, "ada masalah ke cik?". Nak tau apa jawapan dia? "hah langgarla palang tu!" sorry bitch but you are messing with the wrong guy la...mmg terus aku maki hamunla. Kenapa nak kurang ajar sangat hah???mmg keluar segala four letter word. Madafaka spoilt my morning.

Sampai kat Nilai terus cari parking. Humang aihhhh jauh betul kena jalan. Dah smpai kat litar sepang dr parking space tu mula melilau mencari trmpat bazaar. Tak jumpa-jumpa. Tanya workers kat situ...macam2 direction diorang bagi...last2 dapat tau tempat salah sbb kitorang masa tu ada kat area pit.huhuhu jakun jap...

Nak kena patah balik...uuuuuhuuuuuu. Penat siutttt...tapi terpaksa gagahkan. Masuk balik kete n park on the other side. Nasib baik kali ni jln tak jauh sangat. Sempat singgah2 jap amik gambi sikit. Oh yes, all the pics were taken using my ipad2 camera, so sorry sbb not so good quality..tp jadiklahhhh. Yang best parking dpt reserved area sbb we came in as exhibitors. Terasa cam vip plak..ngehehehehhe. Some pics that i managed to snap on the way to the booth....

Bnyk lagi nak ambik gambo tp Cik Mas nak cepat. Xpe ada bnyk peluang lagi utk ambik gambo. Smpai2 area bazaar, aku tlg cik mas setup serba sedikit. Found out smtg interesting...rupanya bazaar kat sini mengamalkan cashless transaction...segala bayaran utk products n services adalah menggunakan kad Touch n Go. Interesting concept tp kad TnG has to be a lot more secure before I am willing to topup hundreds of ringgit into the card. Kl hilang senang2 je org guna. Masa dok setup dh dgr bunyi roar of engines...aku dah tak senang duduk. Nasib baik cik mas memahami diriku yang sudah teruja ini. Beliau telah memperkenankan akung tgk. Hehehhehe tq syg for understanding me.hehhehe. Walaupun sabtu br qualifying....tetap syokkkkk tgk!

Bila telinga dah bingit...kembali menolong cik Mas di booth. Mmg cari sakit la tak bawak earplugs...hihuhuhuh.

Hehehhe pastu bila boring g jenjalan lagi tangkap gambo...

Dah abeh jenjalan tgk displays.....sambung tgk the races....

My batchmate mickey pn ada dtg....dpt tau dia ada kat situ lepas ck mas nampak status abg sepang dia dekat FB.

Dalam kol 6+ berkemas2....on the way ke kete...sempat lagi snap2....sobsobsob

Lotus Evora...

Wonder who the Evora belongs to....

Lepas balik to kami g Billion...cik Mas nak beli naget...dia xpuas ati kat sana mahal sgt...air mineral kecik rm3,air tin rm5, burger rm5, sate 7 cucuk rm10. Kami berikrar esok nak bawak food dan minuman sendiri esok. Oh ya, air tebu satu cawan kecik pn rm5....huhhhhhhh!!!!!

Wedding...

2011-06-30T20:31:00.001-07:00

2 months and 29 days to go....that is how much time is left for my single life. In exactly 3 months time, I can no longer tick 'single' in any of the forms that I fill out. Honestly, I am terrified. This marks one of the biggest changes in my life from being only responsible for myself to being the leader of a family. Of course my mind is filled with doubt and worry. Am i actually up to the task? So far I have just been a kid....whatever idiotic decisions(of which there have been many) I have decided to make have only directly impacted me. Lepas ni dah berubah dah my priorities and focus in life. I hope that I can still be the person that I am today. I pray that I will still be the devil-may-care person who laughs when he wants to but can at times be as silent as a rock. I hope that I will retain much of my inner child as much as I hope to be a more responsible adult. I hope to be able to play with my toys as enthusiastically as I educate my children. I pray that I will make my wife as happy as I am sure she makes me. I pray that I am loved by my family as much as I will love them.

Berhabuk....

NFD Day II

2010-06-07T18:27:00.000-07:00

Dinner semalam abes kol 11.30....still too early nak tido. Terasa malas gak nak masuk bilik. Tgk kat lounge ada live band...so decided to chill sambil dgr live music. Nama live band to Rock Angels....menariks. Sambil lepak2 kat lounge tu terasa dahaga plak...capai menu, ingtkn nak order coke ke apa....tersedak aku bila tgk rega coke rm16 segelas...humang aih...the most expensive glass of coke ever. Terasa mcm jarangla aku jumpa rega camni. Cup of coffee...rm22. Pergh perghh pergh....letak balik menu. Hahahahha....not worth it man. Lepak2 dlm 20mins....terasa bosan....music mcm tak kena dgn lounge setting sbb dok asyik layan lagu melalak je.....mlm2 camni....tepi laut...layan lagu jazz or chillin; music baru kena. The band pn tak syok sgt...harapkan skimpy outfits n choreographed dance moves jer. Booorringgggg. Decided to naik bilik online lagi bagus. Dahla WiFi sini nak kena bayar...aku nak tanya price pn malas...sure cekik darah punyer. AKu rasa the era of charged internet access dah berlalu...especially with the advent of mobile broadband ni. Apa barang kan. Naik bilik....layan fb jap....terus out.

Esoknya,6.00am....

AKu cadang nak bangun, solat subuh then go for a morning walk at the beach sambil ambik gamba sunrise. Lepas mandi, solat....."Keceburrrr.....Bedebummmmm"...hallamak....hujannnnnn. Lalu aku terus melakukan aksi terjun tiruk masuk bawah selimut. Ahhh....sure senam seni ni tangguh..apa kes nak senam dlm hujan. Hehheheh...aku tau AJK takde backup plan utk hujan...kalau masa aku buat teambuilding/family day....rain backup plan mesti ada. Kalau hujan...aktiviti kena buat dlm dewan ke apa. So layan jerla mata ku ini.

Rain drops keep falling on my...roof? the view from my room. Hohoho...sungguh nikmat tido dlm air-conditioned room sambil hujan.

Hujan yang turunnnnnn.....the view from my floor

Dah hujan2 ni lapo la plak. So dlm kol 8 tu bergerak turun ke Damai ballroom utk breakfast. Masa aku sampai tu mmg agak lengang la ballroom. ada a few tables je ada org. Aku g buffet line utk survey food.....ok2 jerla...ada moi@bubur nasi, ada nasi lemak, sausages,baked beans,cereal,apple n mango juice and assorted buns n jams. I just took a normal western breakfast (sausages etc). Pastu dok bersembang2 kat meja. AJK pn dah buat announcement aktivit ditangguhkn sampai hujan berhenti....jadi layan sembang jer la.

The breakfast buffet spread

Kol 9 baru ramai sket datang..

Boring sembang...tepek muka jap. Tu baju NFD...pink you...awwww.....

Dlm kol 10+ hujan pun berenti. jadi kami bergerak ke Fun Beach utk acara pertama haritu...telematch.

The loooooonnnggggg trek down to the beach...

sapa2 yg old or disabled....mmg terseksa nak turun beach. Toilet pn bapak jauh...kalau pundi kench penuh tu...ada chance lepas kat tepi pokok......

We were split into 10 groups and the groups were named according to our World Cup 2010 theme. Aku dpt kumpulan Italy...ada Brazil...Holland....Poland (WTF??)....Bayern Munich (huh???)...Von Dutch (masa di announce nama kumpulan aku dengar 'Pondan')...Butterfly (huh??WTF???WTF???) dan Mickey Mouse(??????). Hahhaha giler lawak. Kitorang diberi wristband utk identification so I guess they must have run out of world cup qualified nations. Hahhaha....but seriously....butterfly???? Acara pertama adalah sukan kanak2....macam biasala....tiup gula dlm tepung...lari dlm guni...etc....

Khusyuk mendengar taklimat...future staff of NIOSH

Ready...on your mark...get set...

GOoooooooo!!!!

Penculikkkk!!!Tolong!!!Siap masukkan dlm guni...hhahahha...actually ni aksi2 main tipu caught on camera

The kids had fun. Lepas tu turn org dewasa plak....played the normal water ballon throw...etc. Tadak gambaq sbb aku dok sibuk join sekali. dahla lepas acara water balloon throw tu the excess waterballoons tu kena hijack ng staff....kejap2 ada jer waterballoon terbang. kang kena hp buta2 je.
*update : berjaya mendapatkan gambar aku bersukaneka....gambar ihsan puan Nor Rafza Abd Manap ( http://kerjagiler.blogspot.com/) wife kepada seorang staff NIOSH.

Lari dalam guni...satu guni masuk 4 kaki...event ni berjaya buat aku injured bila empat2 org tersungkur lalu dpt 2nd place...adesh

Yerrr...mari main campak waterballoon...waterballoon ni jugakla yg telah digunakan utk menyerang penonton2 oleh pengganas2 di NIOSH

Acara tarik tali...yeahhhhh...

my group was eliminated earlier on....dah nak menang dah...ada org sabo baling water balloon...terus semua terlepas...bangang dugong btol...aku selaku anchor terus tercampak kedepan lalu injured. bengong...bengang aku....bengang2 lalu aku terus....

Camwhoring...haahhahah...tepi aku tu si Kesdi...staf sabah bha...hehhehe

Event abeh kol 12+ kot...lepas tu bergerak ke resort utk lunch. Panas giler masa telematch tadi...2 org staff kecundang lalu aku mengoffer diri utk tlg2 as 1st aider. Hehehhehe....aperdaa 1st aid tadak 100+. Aku kl benda2 mcm ni mmg make sure ada 100+ (sbb ramai yg excited main smpai tlupa nk hydrate...takpun asyik minum air manis je) dan juga ice pack...ni penting supaya kaki tak bengkak if berlaku sprain or etc.

The lunch spread

Lepas2 abeh lunch aku naik ke bilik utk berehat...penat weih. 2.30 nak sambung lg. Masuk dlm bilik si azman ajak aku teman dia makan...aku mcm WTF..dah dkt kol 2 dah pn. Org lain lepas aktiviti g mkn...dia g berjimba n jual minyak. Aku hangin sket...aku naik bilik nak rehat...aku ckp nak aku teman...tunggu aku mandi,tukar baju n rehat jap. Kl tak g sorang la kan.hehehheh. Lagipun aku tak makan dessert tadi...so ok gak actually. cuma i need some rest. tu je. Dah setel semua...zoommm..terus turun utk mkn (lagi)...hhehe

Tepat 2.30pm aku dah smpai kat Fun Beach....cehhhhh...baru ada 2,3 orang. Hampeh btolla.

boring2 tu ada beach chair...aku g melepakkan diri kat situ. Masa dok lepak2 tu Is datang..dok kat kerusi sebelah. Sembang sket2 lepas tu dua2 ngantuk..hhehehe. bapak lambat nak tunggu diorang ni berkumpul....

Selesa btol kerusi ni...angin pn sepoi2 bahasa......

Lambatla korang...aku layan mata dulu la jap.....

Akhirnya acara ptg tu...1NIOSH Challenge....ala2 Amazing race.....dimulakan. Sebelum tu diorang buat ice breaker. simple game je...laki diberi nila seringgit n ladies 50cents. Fasci akan sebut nilai and kitorang kena buat group utk dptkn nilai yg cukup For example....rm2.50, so group kena ada 2laki n 1 pompuan or 5 pompuan. sapa tak dpt...dpt hadiah...aku kantoi sekali je....

Dapat satu calit..okla..ada org smpai 4.hahhaha

Lps ice breaker, aktiviti diteruskn. Mmg tadak gambo sbb aku sibuk participate...penat giler2 tu weih...dah abeh aktiviti dlm 5.15...niat nak naik bilik rehat. tp bila lalu dekat pool tgk ramai2 dok mandia manda sambil main beach ball...tergoda lalu join. Aktiviti jadi volleyball tiba2. syok...mmg layan. lagiler takde pics sbb aku naik bilik nganto henpon dulu...bukan waterproof weihhhh henpon ni. masuk air nanges woooo.

nntila sambung pasal dinner...post dulu....

NIOSH Family Day

2010-06-06T19:45:00.000-07:00

Last weekend was NIOSH's Family Day 2010 (NFD)> The event was from 4th-6th at Damai Laut Resort. It was a blast and this morning I'm paying for it....aches all over my body and various cuts n bruises. Biasalah....dah berseronok tu sampai tak ingt dunia...camtu ler jadi nya.

Day 1 FridaY :

Started off the day as usually dengan pergi kerja. Pushing off for Damai Laut only after Friday prayers. Alhamdulillah, NIOSH telah bermurah hati memberi pelepasan selama setengah hari kepada staff. Masa pagi ni nak buat keje pun dok asyik teringat nak g lepak tepi laut je. Masa pun berlalu dengan dengan pantas, dah tengahari. Food kat cafe sedap pulak arini...ada kari kambin...nyam nyam nyam. Hentam jgn tak hentam. Lepas dah kenyang, bergerak dengan cergas ke masjid. Cari port yg best...terus duduk dengan penuh khusyuk dan tawadduk dan bersedia utk mendengar khutbah. Sedar2 imam dah berdoa...hhehehehhe. Takpe, jap lg nak drive jauh jd perlu merehatkan mata (alasan,alasan...hehhee). Pukul 2+ dah ada kat opis balik. Berkobar2...dapat gerak awal. Kak Asiah nak convoy ng aku....layan jer la. Ada 2 kereta, jadi apa2 ada backup. Plan nak gerak 2.30...si azman sidek dari HETD nak tumpang kete aku. tadak hal...aku dah cakap awal2 kol 2.30 nak gerak. Tunggu punya tunggu tak sampai2 lagi...mula la aku nak berasap. Aku suruh solat dekat masjid dekat office taknak....nak gak balik rumah dekat SURADA dulu. adeshhh....aku dah pesan dah...dtg office bawak terus beg n baju2 semua. Kepada yg kenal aku mmg tau la kot...aku ni mmg pantang kalau dah plan dari awal2....pastu lewat. Perjalanan dahla jauh, kang bertolak lewat sampai mlm susahla. Aku diberitahu jalan nak masuk ke Damai Laut ni agak mencabar and not well lit, jd risau jgkla kl sampai dah gelap. Tunggu punya tunggu dah dekat 3.30 baru sampai. AKu hangin jgn cakap la kan. Kak Asiah pun dah bising2. Dia dengan ada anak2 dia dlm kereta. Haishhhh....awal2 sudah bikin spoil. Aku cukup tak gemar perangai macam ni. Ko dah la nak tumpang kereta orang, cuba la respect skit schedule orang. Yang buat aku lg hangin bila aku dpt tau yg dia lewat sbb tak packing barang lagi.Come On la...like WTF kan. Benda NFD ni bukan baru sehari di cakap...dah berbulan2. Aku cakap nak gerak 2.30 pn dah lama dah. Hangin la kan...

Perjalanan di mulakan kol 3.30 dari NIOSH HQ di Bangi dengan Kak Asiah. Supaya pemanduan tak menjemukan, AJK NFD telah NIOSH-Damai Laut Challenge yg beberapa soalan ala2 treasure hunt utk dijawab sepanjang perjalan dari NIOSH Bangi - Damai Laut. Aku jawab camtu2 jerla. Lebih fokus kepada driving. Kang dok leka cari jawapan sambil drive....lain plak jadinye. Dari PLUS hi-way tu took the Bidor exit. Actually kalau ikut cik GPS, dia suruh ikut jln Kuala Selangor tp sebab nak cari jawapan NIOSH Challenge tu....g ikut Bidor jerla. Traffic was quite OK tp lepas Bidor tu slow sket sbb ada bnyk lori and there were a few accidents along the way.

Dari jauh ini kelihatan.....huhuhuh

huhuh...don't wanna know what happened to the rider.....

Perjalanan diteruskan. Memandangkan telah masuk waktu solat asar...maka kami mencari masjid yg terdekat utk bersolat. Apalagi....qasar la. dah diberi kemudahan....gunakanlah.

Kawasan parkir masjid. Terserempak dgn a few staff jgj kat sini

Bnyk sign board menunjukkan arah jadi tak perlu takut sesat kat dlm masjid ni. Hehheheh...

Camwhoring jap. Kat belakang tu tiba2 ramai orang and kecoh2. Apakah? Rupa2nya...

Ada upacara akad nikah....lewat gak...masa ni dah lebih kurang kol 6+ (yer yer...asar dinasour)

Camwhoring lagi sambil tunggu kak Asiah abeh solat. Ni ler Azman yg tumpang kete aku tu.

Meneruskan perjalanan...disinari rona2 senja..cewahhh (amende rona tu ek?)

Penat belum.....sungguh bercinta sebelum nak sampai. Dari exit Bidor, it's still around 100km+ to Damai Laut...cam nak mati wooooo. Jln nak masuk ke Damai Laut pn perghhhh....mencabar. Melingkau2 (bak kata org Melaka) and takde lampu! Masa nak masuk tu dlm hati dok terfikir je...betul ke jln ni? nasib baik ada GPS and sekali sekala ada signage Damai Laut....kalau tak mmg aku dah patah balik. Arrived Safely around 8pm+. Check-in...ambik baju n zasssss....terus landing atas katil. Tp niat utk berehat di lupakan...kerana :

BBQ Dinner!! I LOIKE! Dah penat2...mari melantak!

Hehhehe....kol 8.30 BBQ dinner patut start...tp actually dlm kol 9 baru ramai sket. Takpe...lagi syok tak ramai org...sempat aku borong pukal segala ayam,lamb,beef,sotong,udang...ehehhehe.

Pertandingan Karaoke 'So U think U Can Sing'. Aku tak join...kang trauma semua orang. Apa aku buat?

Camwhoring lagi! Ni muka sebelum makan...agak kelat dan ketat...hehehe.

Lepas makan! Girang dan ceria! Burung2 dan mergastua berkicauan indah...haaaaaaa....lallalaaa lallaaaa (nyanyi mcm princess fiona ke snow white dlm shrek 1)

everything ended about 11.30pm. Lepak2 kat lounge kejap layan live band...nak minum coke tp harga adalah rm16 segelas...jadi niat dibatalkan. Terus naik bilik minum air kosong sedingin salju dan terus melelapkan mata. Esok pagi kol 7.00 ada senam seni...well...all the best!Hahahaha...nnti sambung utk day2 n day3

Monolog Seorang Anak.....

2010-06-01T00:47:00.000-07:00

Rindu tidak terkira....
kepada kedua ibu bapa...
sukar diluahkan....lebih mudah di zahirkan...
sukar di lafazkan...ku tunjukkan melalui perbuatan...

kasih sayang....
kepada yang membesarkan..
yang membelai semasa ku kecil...
yang mengajar ketika ku jahil...
yang menjaga ketika ku lemah...
juga sukar di lafazkan....ku tunjukkan jua dengan perbuatan..

berdosakah aku?derhakakah aku?
ampunkan ku ibu dan ayah...
anak mu tidah bermaksud begitu....
walau jarak memisahkan ku dari matamu...
dirimu sentiasa di hati...

Ampunkanku ayah dan ibu...
ku bukan anak yg sempurna...
terlalu banyak kelemahan dan cela...
namun ku mahu ibu dan ayah tahu...
nasihat ayah dan ibu sentiasa ku semat di hati..
sampai ke mati...

Menghembus sawang....

Tp gasakla kan...ni blog aku...ikut suka la aku nak tulis apa...bukan duit mak bapak korang berkurang dengan setiap setiap ayat, setiap perkataan dan setiap abjad yg aku nukilkan kat sini. jadi aku buat keputusan....."ADA AKU KESAH?" hehhehehe

Gloves review

2009-12-06T09:39:00.000-08:00

Let's start 2010 with a review of some of the gloves that I have in my collection......:

Here are the Candidates (sitting on top of my helmet collection:

From left: Motobell Glove, Spidi gauntlet, Komine Shortie and Alpinestars GP Pluss II

Alpinestars GP Plus II

The GP plus II is quite comfortable and offers quite a bit of abrasion resistance. Ventilation is adequate with the added ventilation from the knuckle protectors. Still a bit stiff as they are still brand new and haven't been quite broken in yet. Accordion leather on strategic places helps with the flexibility of the glove. The bridged fingering is supposedly to help with throttle response though i personally find it annoying. I wouldn't wear them for short,city riding though as they feel kinda bulky. Personal rating 4/5

My Spidi Gauntlets...very comfortable as they have been quite broken in. Leather is nice and pliable....hehhehehe. Good knuckle protection and strategic places have been reinforced to minimize injury in the case of an accident. I wear them even for short distance rides as they are very comfortable. Only drawback is they are starting to age though I hope they can last for a bit more...maybe time to scout for new gloves?? Personal rating 4.6/5

The Fieldsheer Komines.....OK2 jerla gloves ni. Wore these for a few times on short rides. they offer adequate protection for your knuckles with the carbon fiber bits and have reinforced palms though in the advent of a crash, i seriously doubt that you will have a lot of skin left. Personal rating: 3.6/5
Komine Shortie gloves.....these gloves are probably targeted for dirtbike/offroad users but they have served me well. not much protection but really comfy. The plus side is that they are a lot easier to dry compared to the other gloves! personal rating :3.6/5
Motobell gloves....quite ok. comfortable and quite cool to wear. less protection than a full gauntlet, the motobell only has reinforced fabric on the back of the hand but compensates by having full leather and reinforced palms. I would say these offer the comfort of my motobell n komine gloves but also offers some protection like the gauntets though not as much. Personal rating 3.9/5

Planet 51 and Jalang review

2009-12-04T01:58:00.000-08:00

Last week I managed to watch 2 movies...planet 51 and Jalang. Planet 51 dpt tiket free....hasil gigih cik mas mengintercept skuad perodua era ( i think). So haruslah tidak disia2kan. After we finished watching Planet 51, Cik Mas wanted to watch Jalang. Before I knew cik mas...i have never watched a malay movie at a cinema...but so far her selection of Malay movies (Pappadom...Pisau Cukur) has not been far off the mark and have managed to entertain me to a certain extent. So I thought waht the hell...dah dpt tiket free...tengok jerla. Below is my review of the 2 movies:

Planet 51......to me OK-OK jerla. Nothing much to shout about. The plot is interesting but IMHO was not really developed much. The main characters weren't very interesting and soooo much could have been done to make them better. as it was, I came out of the cinema remembering more about the sidekicks rather than the main characters. I really loved the alien (literally!) dog named Ripley. I guess any scifi geeks (Like me!) can get the reference to the long-tongued acid pissing Ripley to a certain other alien franchise. The rock-loving Rover was also a very adorable character though it kinda reminded me of wall-e. For me the most memorable speech was when capt Chuck Baker finds out about Rover's obsession with rocks..."A planet full of little green men and you sent back pictures of rocks???"

What is the movie about actually? The movie is about a planet inhabited by green alien life forms who are paranoid about being invaded by aliens...us! They call us Humaniacs by the way. When Capt Chuck Baker touches down on this alien it sets of a whole chain of events which lead him to be separated from his spacecraft. To add to the situation, he needs to blast off from the planet and re-unite with the command module orbiting over planet 51 before the command module runs low on fuel and returns to earth on autopilot. What could have been a great movie falls flat on its face with some humdrum slapstick humor for the kids and inane scifi references for the adults plus the totally irrelevant love angle. All in all i give Planet 51 5 stars out of 10

Jalang: When my faith in local movies was restored by pappadom and pisau cukur....along comes a movie like 'Jalang' andTOTALLY destroys the illusion that the local movie scene was finally improving. Menyesal giler tengok....my main impression is that this is NOT a cinema grade movie....rather it is a very,very bad TV movie. Oh My Gucci.....Yasmin Khanif should be banished to whichever cinematic hell that spawned her originally,locked away,the keyhole shoved full of superglue and the key then dipped in acid. I know she is supposed to be a newcomer and should be given a chance....tp i think the producer,director,etc should be banished along with her!

What a really missed opportunity with some great actors being relegated to minor or supporting roles. The only good scenes were the one with Faizal Hussein as a drug pusher (a subplot yg never really went anywhere) and Hairie Othman (Lt Adnan,etc)...tp scene hairie othman bercakap je...kl ada shot of yasmin khanif jer...hancus. I think it's hilarious that the few very emotional (supposedly sad) scenes involving Yasmin Khanif actually caused the audience to burst out in laughter!!!! Urghhh.....

Short story....a really bad stinker of a movie that will automatically cause you to become zombies (I want to control your braiiinnnnssssss....youuuuu areee myyyyy zombiessssssss!!!sorry ni line planet 51.hehehe) and will lower your IQ by 25.67%!!!!Stay away!!!Watch it at your own peril!!! my rating : 1 out of 1,0000000000000000 stars!!! (dpt satu bintang tu pun sbb it was shot in Langkawi, an island very dear to me and the eye candy in the form of Yasmin Khanif - yes she is very NICEEEEE to look at- and Maria Farida)

P/S: to the people hopint to catch this to see the supposedly 'hot' scenes......its rated U...so tough luck

That's it folks!!

Online shopping....

2009-11-27T09:05:00.000-08:00

*KlikKlik*.....shoes for girls....

*KlikKlik*.....accessories for girls....

*KlikKlik*.....Dresses...

Woihhhhhhh....aku nak shop online gakkkkkk.......mana (local) online shop utk biker accessories??Anyone knows? Selain Bro David Choo ng Bro Budak Singapore's (www.budaksingapore.com) sites that is....

Found this guy who can custom make racing suits on FB. Not planning to make a full suit...maybe just top dulu with the option to make the pants later. bercadang nak buat design ni:

Back view.....

Depan tak sure lagi nak buat camne......the back ni nak modify sket...nak letak race hump.Ada 3options:

Hump 1

Hump 2

Hump 3

My 1st choice would be hump 1...alang2 nak buat bior pueh hati hump beso camtu. Pastu mcm ada ventilation hole...penting gak tu. Hump 2 sama je saiz cuma takde ventilation outlet. Hump 3 hump a bit more discreet tp I wonder is it too small to be of significance in an incident...hmmm...

Kalau buat satu the price is aroung rm850 tp kalau buat dua it's around rm1200 jer...so anybody wanna make a group order with me?? Hehehhehe...oh yeah the suits are manufactured in Pakistan from 100% leather. Menarik kan....mana duit ni......Wuwuwuwuwu......

Oh yeah....nak promo blogshop cik mas....

Selamat menyambut aidil adha kepada semua pembaca2 muslim. Emmm...tahun ni eidul adha agak hambar bagi aku....ni 1st time aku tak beraya bersama kedua ibubapaku.1st time seumur hidup. Atas beberapa sebab yg tak dapat dielakkan...aku terpaksa beraya di KL sahaja. Cuma panggilan kepada ibubapa di kampung menjadi penyeri eidul adha ku kali ni. Allah maha Mengetahui....rupa2nya ada hikmah aku tak dpt balik beraya. Awal2 pagi td...my eldest bro kena one of his dizzy spells....nasib baik aku ada kat rumah. At least bila aku urut2 n picit2 kepala dia ok sket and aku dptla jugak masakkan brunch utk dia. My eldest bro ni kalau kena dizzy spell ni mmg teruk...nak bgn pun tak larat.Must be his BP.hmm....syukur, walaupun aku berasa sedih beraya di perantauan sekurang2nya ada jugak some good that has come out of it.

Masa petang tu my bro dah ok sket....my auntie ajak lepak rumah dia. dia kesian dua orang anak2 bujang ni melepek je kat rumah. Dia ingtkn tadak food utk kitorang makan...hahahahaha, jgn risaula auntie...bab makan2 ni kitorang agak cekap.ehhehehe. So dalam kol 5 bergerak ke Kg Melayu Ampang. Sampai2 di sana uncle cakap yg kat Ampang since pagi heavy rain n thunderstorms. Rumah from across the road siap bumbung terbang. Yang lagi menakjubkan..kuali beso my auntie yg diletakkan kat luar dah terbang pergi ke rumah sebelah. Perghhh.....gerun.Pelik gak sbb kat Setapak dari pagi smpai tengahari cuaca sgt2 terik. Masa nak solat sunat aidiladha tak teruk sgt ( tp berpeluh2 la jugak).....masa nak solat Jumaat..yarabbi punya terik. Berjalan kat atas tikar yg dihampar pun panas. Ni baru panas dunia kann.....

Kat rumah auntie makan roti jala ng kari ayam.....nasi impit ng kuah kacang....soto....all washed down with a piping hot cup of Rooibos tea. I really love Rooibos tea sbb it does not have the astringent taste of normal tea. Kalau masa cuaca panas, dpt ice cold cup...perghhhhh.....ilang dahaga. I kid u not. Dalam kol 9, Ham dropped by. Mula2 dok sembang kat dlm rumah....lepas tu melepak kat depan rumah plak. Sedap lepak kat luar after a rainy day. Rasa sejuk jer...nyamuk pun takde. Dlm kol sepuluh g kedai Zakuan untuk teh tarik session pulak...ngada2 brol. Hhehehehhe....dkt kol 11 baru bertolak balik ke Setapak. Sekarang dok menghapdet belog....

That was my day...how was your's?

Rain Rain Rain Rainnnn...gahhhh

2009-11-25T01:46:00.000-08:00

Moto dah sebulan tak bergerak....hujan punya pasal.

Tangan dah gatal...left leg pun dah gatal.Kematu2 pun dah nak hilang..alamak..camner ni?Buntut jugak dah lama tak kebas....wakakakaakak.

Terima kasih kepada rakan yg sudi hanto ni kat aku.....mcm siut je ngko ni. nah aku balas utk ngko kat sini...tungguuuuu ekkkk.....

Heheheheheh......aku ni mmg jenis kalau hujan malas nak naik moto....kl g keje tu...tiba2 hujan..kalau tak jauh lg mmg aku patah balik ambik kete. Hahahahha...tak kisahla nak cakap aku ni dry rider....malas la geng nak basah2...dengan bau kepam bila turun bike lg....hehhehe. Takpa takpa...insya'allah minggu depan yoshi ku akan mengaum kembali. As it is....every 2,3 ari start moto. Esok pagi nak g makan kat mamak depan ni naik moto lah...kang naik flat spot plak kat tayar aku. Hehehehe

Just a short post...saje nak idupkn balik blog yg dah mula bersawang ini....

Aku Cun Saja!

2009-10-19T23:39:00.000-07:00

Lagu ini aku tujukan untuk KAMU!

Lagu ini bukan di radio setiap hari untukmu
Lagu ini tidak perlu kau kembali kepadaku
Lagu ini hanya ingin kau fahami ku sudah teruskan hidupku
Semuanya cun saja

Tak perlu tinggalkan pesanan
Tak perlu buat panggilan
Ku tak perlu lagi kalau kau cuba mintak maaf
Lupakan sahaja
Diriku cun saja

Duduk di rumah seorang saja
Menulis lagu cinta
Menggunakan kisah ini tuk ceritakan

-Chorus-

Alyph:
Cun hidupku kini cun saja
Sejak kita memang cun semuanya
Sejak pisah itulah permulaannya untukku berhati-hati dgn buaya
Ngap ngap pendirianku tegap
Jumlah kali kita bertengkar memang genap
Untuk aku ke tahap ini silap kita memang patut sama-sama kene sepak pak pak
Tapi bukan niat aku tuk salahkan dirimu
Aku sedar ku juga ada kekuranganku
Tapi kalau bersifat mementingkan diri sendiri untuk kebaikkan bukan kurang ajar itu

Duduk di rumah seorang saja
Mengarang lagu cinta
Dengan mengembalikan kisah kitakan tapi jangan perasaan
Ohh..

Walaupun ini bab yang baru ada masa arah ku tak tentu
Tetap rindu kehadiranmu, tidak patut
Kerna ku takut

-CHORUS-

Lagu ini,
Tandanya kamu masih sayangkan ku
Walaupun sudah tidak bersama lagi

Lagu ini,
Tandanya ku masih rindukanmu
Walaupun sudah tidak bersama lagi

Lagu ini,
Dengan lagu ini ku ingin memberitahu kamu bahawaku okay
Aku okay

Lagu ini,
Dengan lagu ini ku ingin memberitahu kamu jangan cakap tak boleh

Lagu ini aku tujukan kepada KAMU!

Setelah sekelian lama kau menghilang dari hidupku...kenapa kau nak muncul lagi?

dah kupadam jejakmu dari hidupku...kenapa kau masih nak ada?

Kan aku dah buang kau jauh2?

kan aku dah cakap nyah dari hidupku...jangan kau kembali?

Dulu mungkin kehadiranmu membuat ku rasa bertenaga...

kau membuat ku berfikir...kau membuat ku berusaha...

tetapi kau terlalu kerap hadir...membuatku rimas...

Kan aku dah cakap...aku dah bosan menghadapimu?

BERAMBUS KAU DARI HIDUPKU!!!!!

KAU YANG BERNAMA....

MASALAH!!!!!!!!

p/s: post ini tidak berkaitan dengan hidup atau mati....hahahahha

Helmet baru...

2009-10-13T01:00:00.000-07:00

Setelah lama tak hapdeth tiba2 arini rajin nak buat 2 posting...hhahahaha. Silap2 mlm ni ada posting ke-tiga. Apa kejadahnye tak kena ng aku ni....haahahaha. Blog aku suka hati aku lah.Wakakakkaka. Tema blog adalah posting ikut suka suki...entry pun tak ikut tarikh...hahhaha.

Posting ni about my new helmet (kira baru jugakla...got it last week of ramadhan kot tak silap). Bought it online from Mr David Choo, online bike accessories trader.....kedai dia dekat Butterworth tp kalau g beli kat kedai lain rega dengan beli online. Kenapa aku beli helmet baru padahal kat rumah ada 2 bijik shoei x-11 dan sebijik x-9 dah? Sayang wooo nak melasam shoei Kiyonari aku tu hari-hari. Jadi sekarang Kiyonari tu bolehla aku reserve utk long rides dan juge kalau nak g bike show ke apa. Jadi what did I buy from David? I got the Sol 68S Dragon for a very good price. Actually wanted the helmet in Black/Red to suit my bike tp takde stock. So I settled for the Black/Gray instead. Why the 68S Dragon and not Unicorn some may ask...sebab design Dragon ni nak sama dengan my Kiyonari. Hehehhehe. Been using the Dragon for quite a few weeks now....the verdict? Let's look at the pros first. Nice design with good finishing. So far takde chipping or delaminating happening. OKla for the price...nnti2 dah boring hantar buat airbrushlah..hehhehe. comparing my Kiyonari's design with the 68S

Comes with breath guard and also chin curtain. Most helmets do not come with breath guard and chin curtain. Mustahak wooo dua2 ni...breath guard is especially crucial masa pagi2...kalau tak jenuh fogging. Chin curtain helps the fresh air to vent in from the bottom of the helmet.

Shoei X-11 Kiyonari

Sol 68S Dragon

Lebey kurangla kan design..dua2 dragon motif. Another good thing about the 68s is the sheer amount of vents on the lid....according to the manual...this helmet has 19 air vents, a mixture of intake and egress vents. 1st time pakai helmet ni masa hujan renyai-renyai....bila bukak all the vents mmg terasa the cool air venting in. The sheer number of vents is also one of the cons of this helmet which I will talk about later. Another good thing is the coolmax lining of the helmet. The coolmax material added with the number of airvents really helps to keep this helmet cool. A cool and quite practical feature of this helmet is the addition of a row of 6 LED blinkers on the back of the helmet which will also act to alert drivers to your presence. Has 3 preset speeds.....fast,medium and not blinking.

*Blinkety blink blik*

Just look at the size of the exit vents on top of the blinkers...imagine the amount of hot air that it extracts.

Front view

Now let's talk about some of the cons of this lid. Firstly is the quality of the ratchet system for the visor. Being used to Shoei's patented ratchet system, Sol's quality is left wanting when compared to Shoei. The 'click click' sound of the Sol is less than assuring but at the price of the lid, it's acceptable. At least the visor is crystal clear. The biggest issue for me so far is the vents. At normal speeds of less than 120km/h, the noise level is acceptable but if you ramp up the speed, the noise gets pretty deafening. At speeds of more than 170km/h, it seems as if you have a mini tornado sharing the same living space with your skull. Close to 200km/h you would have a small jet buzzing around your head. I guess this can be lessened by closing most of the top vents which have the bigger entry and exit vent sizes.

So ends my review!

Love,Peace and Chicken Grease!

Ye Olde Chendol Shoppe....

2009-10-12T18:45:00.000-07:00

heh...lama aku tak mengupdate. Been really busy jadi kemalasan mmg melanda la nak hapdet2 ni. Sekarang ni dah kurang sket busy, so bolehla kot nak actively update balik.....kot.Hehehhee. Nothing much going on lately so mmg malash gilersh nak hapdeth.

Last Sunday lepas kelas MBA, ntah camne boleh terdetik hati nak singgah kat warung (errr bukan warung kot...errr kete tolak?hapakenama ntah menatang tu...tgk gamba la yer jap lagi) cendol yg berdekatan ng my house. Stall cendol ni is operated by this pakcik India Muslim and has been around quite sometime. My bro yg dah dok kat area ni for berapa belas tahun entah has been enjoying his cendol since day one of his stay here. cendol pakcik ni mmg excellent la...mmg terasa kelazatannya. lagila on a hot sunny day....perghh...mmg nyaman! Dengan kemanisan gula melakanya yg tak terlalu manis...lemak2 dari santan...bits of cendol dia yg just right...senang cakap stone giler bila kena cendol ni. Mula2 mkn/minum semangkuk jer....lepas abes semangkuk tu, napsu masih meluap2 jadi terpaksala tapau lagi 2 bungkus utk di bawa pulang...one for me n one for my bro. And the best thing is that a bowl of cendol is only RM1! giler mana nak dapat dah...paling2 pun rm1.20 kot. Cendol ni mmg comparable with Penang's famous teowchew cendol...tp aku prefer this one sbb the teowchew cendol tu location dia kureng sket. Dah...taknak cakapa bnyk...silalah lihat gambir2 ini dan silalah terliur....hehheheh

Inilah dia Ye Olde Chendol Shoppe.....just a small pushcart...tapi pengunjung tak putus2 datang. Operator dia mmg pakcik ni sorang2. Ntah berapa agaknya umur pakcik ni.

The Great Equalizer in Malaysia....FOOD. Stall ni Melayu, India,Cina, Iban, Dayak, Kadazan Dusun, Chindian, machai,Big Boss,Small Boss,Bossia (Hehehhehe)....semua mengunjungnya. A place where race, religion or creed does not play a factor and everyone is treated equally. Masing2 mencangkung or duduk on the small stolls provided. Duduk sama rata, berdiri sama tinggin (ketinggian jerla yg tak sama...hehehhe). What a beautiful world it would be if everywhere is the same as this place.

"Boss...cendol satu siappppppp"

Orang lain mesti ingat buang tabiat apa laaaa mamat ni dok hambik2 gambar kat tepi jalan ni (tapi still nak camwhoring....hahahaha). Lepas dapat cendol tu.....

Perrrghhh......aku tgk balik gambo ni pun dah terliur....dahla masa ni tengah dok panas2 sikit...dengan titisan-titisan air kat tepi mangkuk tu...perghhh.

Betapa lazatnya cendol ni....dengan keputihan santan bercampur gula merah...kidney beans yg merah dan manis...bits of sweetcorn complete the glorious experience. sekali dah rasa....mesti nak lagi!!!dan lagiii!! DAN LAGIIIIII!!!!!!!

Proses membungkus. Lepas letak ais yg dah disagat....masukkan sweetcorn.

Uncle...jagung lebih! Wokeh!

So far I don't know if you guys have notices something unique about this uncle's equipment. Selalunya akan ada mesin kisar ais tu betul tak? Did you wonder how this uncle shaves his ice to make the cendol....let's zoom in sikit yer.....(drum roll pleaseeee):

Now THIS is what I call Old School! This block of wood looks soooo old that I think this can be considered an antique! Mana nak jumpa lagi benda camni. Tempat pegang ais tu is just a block of wood with some nails hammered in. Wakakakakakakka......maybe it's the wood that makes the cendol so delicious. Anyway jangan risau ada woodchips or selumbar dalam your cendol yer. Selama aku dok mkn ni tak pernah lagi aku jumpa or tercekik/tersedak on a woodchip. The wood is so old that it's petrified already.so takdenyer nak selumbar2 ni.

Time to head back home....minggu depan saya singgah lagi ok uncle!

Bro...thanks for the quote....aku buat blog entry ekk...hahahahaha

2009-10-04T10:00:00.000-07:00

It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled, or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes short again and again, who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, and spends himself in a worthy cause, who at best knows achievement and who at the worst if he fails at least fails while daring greatly so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.

Theodore Roosevelt From a speech given in Paris at the Sorbonne in 1910

Sekiranya aku tiada...
Adakah yg akan mengalirkan airmata?

Sekiranya aku pergi....
Adakah kau akan mengingati diri ini?

Tanpa ku disini....
adakah yang akan menyedari ketiadaan ini?

Persoalan yg bermain di minda
Siapa punya jawapannya....

My thoughts have been a little morbid of late....banyak sangat berita kehilangan2 rakan2 permotoran.....fobia kadang2 tu. Kadang2 terasa berat nak meletakkan kaki kat kuda besi aku tu....tp aku gagahkan jugak utk atasi gerun tu. Cuma kadang2 aku terfikir jugak...kalau apa2 terjadi...siapa yg akan menitiskan airmata. Mungkin keluarga ku...kekasih hati...siapa lagi? Aku terharu membaca eulogi utk TazDevil yg telah meninggalkan kita beberapa minggu lalu kerana kemalangan motosikal. Tersentuh hati membaca how much he was loved by the motoring fraternity in SuperbikeMalaysia (SBM).

Just a short one today....penat baru balik dari penang...

Fairy Tales

2009-07-11T09:24:00.000-07:00

Write me a fairy tale....
Where I am Prince Charming...
Riding on his steed of white....
Perfect is he...
Awed by all..

Write me a fairy tale...
Where I can fly....
nothing to restrict me...
let my wings take flight..
to the moon and I shall fly to bask in its light...

Write me a fairy tale...
Where I am courageous...talented...funny...
A life full of splendour....
perfect shall be all my endeavours....
No fingers will point...no voices ridicule me...

Write me a fairy tale....
Where life is fair...
Where I am whom I'm meant to be...
No problems to haunt my dreams...
No nightmares to wake me up at night...
sound asleep until the morning light...

Write me a fairy tale...
For I am afraid....
Afraid of never finding that elusive sliver of happiness...
destined to forever wallow in tears...

Write me a fairy tale...
take me out from this misery....

Melayu Oh Melayu...

2009-03-19T08:55:00.000-07:00

I just wanna start by saying that the last post actually contains the lyrics to a song in PGL:The Musical...hehhehehe

Today I went to work on my bike...quite a rare occurrence as of late due to the weather gods being not so kind on bikers. I enjoy riding to work and try to do it as often as possible. Masa on the way home I decided to stop by this restaurant near my house to 'tapau' some dinner. Memandangkan it's past the middle of the month and bahan2 masakan di rumah pun dah berkurangan...terpaksala just tapau food. Elok2 je aku sampai kat situ...it started drizzling...nothing much that I can't ride in. Now the reason for the title of this post is because there were this 4 Malay kids/teens sitting at the table in fron of me. As the tables are quite close by, I could overhear some things that they were saying. Now there were 3 guys n 1 girl sitting there. I didn't hear the beginning of the conversation but I did overhear the girl saying "sedangkan Imam pun buat salah...inikan pulak aku..". What a lame excuse....ni lah sikap melayu yg aku betul2 tak berkenan. Whatever mistake that you have done..fine. Own up to it...tp why do you feel the need to justify whatever you did dengan membandingkan dengan orang lain? Pelik la....just because other people make mistakes...does that mean that you can make the mistakes too? Don't get me wrong....I think it is OK to make mistakes...some of the greatest lessons that I have learnt have been from committing mistakes. The only mistake is by not learning from our mistakes and repeating them again.

Lepas tu ada pulak this lady dtg in her Satria....order food dr dlm kereta jer..dahla parking tepi meja aku jer...hellooo...tolong ler respect sikit org...ko ingat aku ni makhluk dari Marikh ke hidup dengan sedut carbon monokside??Use you brain la woman!nih pun Melayu jugak....org melayu sepatutnya kaya dengan budi bahasa dan bersopan santun...nih mangkuk hayun tak pakai otak. Inconsiderate, selfish and just a plain a$$hole (pardon my french!). Dah dapat order bawak kete terhegeh2...seb baik tak terlanggar moto aku...helloo....tempat punya luas dekat ng moto aku jugak ko nak parking??? Dahla keluar parking terhegeh2...kalau takut tak lepas...reverse le sikit...ni nakkkkk jugak keluar straight. Bukan aku nak cakap besar tp tolongla...my bike costs like 2-3 of your car la dei. Pastuh terdengar plak suara sumbang dr meja budak2 muda tu...especially the girl. Dok kutuk2 kata driver tadi tu bawak mcm pelik la...dekat ng steeringla..and this coming from someone who most probably does not have a valid driver's license and ntah2 tak pernah pegang stereng pon. Sickening btol la attitude orang melayu ni...buat malu je. Ntahla...aku mmg cukup tak suka dengan mulut melayu ni kadang2. Suka sgt nak komen2 hal org yang tak berkaitan ng diorang. Macam diri sendiri tu dah bagus sgt! Tolong la mind your own business!

Lepas aku punya order sampai...nasi goreng and limau ais. As you all know...aku ni naik moto sportsbike....mana nak ada kotak ke bakul utk letak barang2 ni kan...and today aku tak bawak beg sbb malas nak bawak beg musim2 hujan ni...lagipun sekarang aku dah jarang bawak balik keje ke rumah. Jadi solution aku? Sila lihat gambar ini...

Yerla...kelakar la sket...at least exhaust aku can keep the food warm ey?hehhehehe...masa aku dok sibuk pakai balaclava...adjust2 jeket n pakai helmet...terdengarla lagi suara2 sumbang itu...."ek eleh...moto besar giler tp ikat plastik kat tepi tu je"...."Ape guna moto besar...barang pun tak blh letak"....."WRW...eleh takdelah moto baru sangat"....aku mmg terbakar dengar tu...so? Moto aku bukan moto yg baru keluar dr kedai...so what??? WRW still a 6 months old bike la thamby! Takkan nak kena tuka number plate every 6 months? Moto ko tu baru sangat ke? Nampak sangat tak tau nak ckp apa...carik bahan jer. Aku siap pakai helmet pe semua....aku shift into 1st gear...gerak slow2...lalu tepi meja diorang....clutch in...aku ram sedas...pedepowww!!!! Ambik ko blowback dr v-twin aku.Hahahahahahhah.

lagi satu perangai melayu yg aku tak suka.....hanya cari orang bila ada masalah. Masa tengah seronok...hidup tengah syok.....sikit punya sombong ko dengan aku yer. cakap pun jawab sepatah2....haram jadah siput b@bi tanah btol!!! tapi bila ko ada masalah....datang merenyeh2 kat aku mintak tolong la...mintak pendapat lah...dahla tak pernah nak reti call...tau nak miss call jer. G mampos la aku nak call ko kalau ko miss call lepas ni...hapa ko ingat aku bayar bil tipon pakai bulu hidung atau bulu ketiak?? Takpe....sekarang ko senang ko sombong ng aku ek???Ko tunggu la...langit takkan cerah selama-lamanya.....aku pernah buat silap dulu dengan maafkan ko bila ko buat perangai ni. That was your last life line la dei....aku taknak la kejam..tp aku nak repeat ayat yang aku suka ckp bila aku dah naik meluat ng orang...."Kalau aku jumpa kau dahaga nak mampos tepi jalan....walaupun aku ada air berbillion2 liter......air ludah aku pun ko takkan dapat...paling kuat aku tolong gelak kat ko"....enough is enough. EFF u la! Aku susah nak benci orang...tp once aku dah benci....sendiri mau ingatla kawan....

Hahahaha...that felt good...venting....before aku stop....gamba my falco dengan the yoshimura slip-ons...

Posting makanan versi kelompok

2009-02-11T18:56:00.000-08:00

I've got quite a few foodie postings that I wanted to post tp was delayed/unpublished due to bad internet connection/too busy to write/writer's block/me lazy bum...So I've decided to just group 'em into one big posting. Hahahahah...so let's begin:

Lunch: Japanese Food at The Gardens Food Court

Masa ni me n B went to Midvalley to visit the Post Graduate Edu Fair that was going on. Regretted going a bit late (11+-noon-ish) as the traffic was hell! Now I remember why I just hate going to Midvalley and avoid going there like the Plague. Tp sebab nak mencari info about post-graduate courses...we just bit our lips and beared with it. Decided to park at the Gardens to make our life easier.By the time we got a parking and went into Midvalley it was already lunch time. As I foresee that there would be a big crowd already milling at the fair..we decided to have lunch first. Lepas berjalan2 cari makan..we decided to have lunch at the Gardens nyer Food court. The prices were quite OK...I decided on Nihon Food and B went with an asam laksa...Our food:

Mine: Soft Shell Crab Bento..Oiiishhiiiiii!!!!

Her's : Asam Laksa...OK2 jer la.....

Shishamo

Shishamo@Pregnant Fish...best sgt2...sgt2 sedap. I dun remember the name of the fish...tp it was cooked just nice..tak terlalu garing. It's called pregnant fish because the fish is full of roe. Walaupun the roe tidak sesedap caviar atau Ebi (flying fish) tp it complemented the fish perfectly! Add a dash of lemon and...heavennnn....wah nak kena repeat lagi ni...Actually the day before we came aku baru dok teringat2 shishamo ni...mmg rezeki aku keesokan harinya bertemu

Tak ingat nama desert ni...tp sedap. Aku mmg mempunyai kelemahan bila berhadapan ng benda2 macam ni...

selepas itu kami telah lebih bertenaga untuk menempuhi the sea of people at the edu fair...caiyokk caiyokkk (eh tibe2)

Viva Mexicana at Carlos, Pavillion

My tshirt supplier, Bro Kamman Kandiah, wanted to treat my department as a way of saying thanks for our support the past year. The venue that was selected was Carlos at the Pavillion Bukit Bintang. We went there after work and promptly got down to the business of ordering:

My Beef Fajitas...ini dimakan dengan fajita roll...ala2 mcm kulit popia tp tebal sket

Enchiladas...mcm popia basah dlm gravy..tp sangat2 sedap and portion tu beso weih...!!!

Aku terlupa nama ni...Seafood Paella ke apa ntah...juga sedap..udang beso kucing!hehehe

The best of the best..Barbecued spare ribs!! Portion gedabak yang sesuai dengan harganya..Rm59 seportion. Tp worth it sbb sgt2 lazatt!!!!

Thanks bro Kamman for your generosity! FYI Bro Kamman juga adalah orang yg menyumbangkan hadiah tempat pertama untuk Ansara Paintball I. Truly a generous man and I believe he can go far. Bravo bro!

Aku ingatkan nak post pasal aku g makan buffet at Komura kat sini...tp aku tak lagi plak pics dr Hp aku ke lappy ni...takper..next post. Aku end this post of all this luxurious food with the best pic of the best food of them all!! Presentingggg:

Nasi Goreng Ala Shimi...hahahahha aku masak masa one weekend..sedap weih!!!!Licin aku ng abg aku tibai (and takde org kena food poisoning ok!)

Hahahahahah that's all folks!

Love, Peace and chicken grease!

Aftermath part Deux

2009-02-11T08:31:00.000-08:00

Lagi2 gamba paintball...

Group pic..thanks for coming guys.....

Selepas bermain....perut pun berkeroncong...gara2 tak mkn bekpes sbb terlalu eksaited. Jadi di manakah tempat melampiaskan napsu mkn itu....?

Boleh tahan sedap food kat sini....tp mcm mahal sket...seb baik abg azmi belanja...TQ bro semoga murah rezeki...........

Lapa punyer pasal...tak sempat ambik gamba food...ni jerla korang dpt tgk..hehehe

Lepas abeh makan bergerak ke Wangsa Maju untuk anto Oshie and adik2nyer. Dah drop diorang kat LRT, terus cargas ke Bangi plak, anta B balik. Sampai di Bangi, lepak kejap kat rumah B...sambar layang2 n terus ke padang. Yerrr...kami bermain layang2 lagik. Kali ni aku bawak layang2 aerobatikku yg mempunyai 2 teraju dan juga layang2 batman tu.

Sampai2 di sana...mulalah aktivit memasang layang2...kesian B kena pasang sendiri layang2...ngehngehngeh. Dok syok2 pasang...tersedar ada one piece of my kite missing....Uwaaaaa..baru nak semangat.

Dengan penuh pasrah aku disassemble balik layang2 tu....main jer layang2 batman.

Dahla angin agak kuat...laju jer naik layang2 tu. Pastu B belanja eskrem...terubat hatiku yang lara....hehehehhe. Sambil dok seronok2 main tu....B dapat call. Parents B nak dtg gak main layang2...hhahahaha. Mak beliau tu sepatutnya dok busy wat slide train the trainer...tp beliau tidak dapat menahan godaan layang2 yg sekuat angin yg membawa layang2 ku ke awangan.

Cewaahh..bila parents B sampai siap ayah B semangat g bli tali extra utk sambung. Heheheh... Lepas bermain layang2..kembali ke rumah beliau...mandi-manda...makan2...lepak2 tgk tibi...pastu berangkat pulang. Drive dlm keadaan yg sgt mengantuk...

"Happy as we are..to be where we are"

Peace out people! Love, peace and chicken grease....

Ex-Terendak Paintball Tourney...the Aftermath

2009-02-11T05:41:00.000-08:00

Wah...the paintball tournament was a great rip roaring success!! Sebagai the main organizer aku berasa agak bangga dah puas ati dgn event yg berjalan. Not many hiccups and most or all of the participants walked away happy (thought bruised)..hehhehehe. A few pulled-out last minute..akibatnya dr 8 groups it went down to 7 and finally 6 groups played. The best thing was that my group,Haluan Kiri, emerged as the champions!! Hehehehe. Actually mula2 I wasn't planning to play sebab nak bg chance kepada orang lain yg tak pernah main merasa. Tp sebab tak cukup orang aku main gakla...hehehe. Seb baik aku main..kalau tak mesti Team Haluan Kiri kalah. Hehehehe. Sampai sekarang the people who came are still talking about it...jangan risau. Ansara Paintball II akan di adakan...hopefully in April. Kali ni kita layan kat Rimba Harmonis plak k....jungle setting...oh yeah baby!

Some of the injuries:

Is....1st casualty...risau camne nak explain kat bini...

Hakim....siap berdarah2 lagi...korban ke-dua

Aku juga adalah mangsa....

Notakakiberuang: paintball pellet sgt2 tidak sedap!

The award for most unique hit goes to........(Drum roll please...!!!)

Nampakkah dimana hit itu?Heheheh...kesian Mulan...tembakan last2 minit...

Di sekitar hari itu....

Qaisy sedang beramas mesra ng batch spm97 (P/S Ikhwan tengah melekat kat tiang)

Kawasan berkumpul....

Seeerrrraaannnggggggg!!!!!

Tuan punya blog yg kepenatan...

Delayed posting...balik kampounggggg...woowooowooo balikkk kampungggg....

2009-02-08T18:28:00.000-08:00

This is a delayed posting...layan jerla yer...what with the bad connection and ke'busy'an saya....seminggu jugakla delay nyer...

Last weekend (weekend FT day)...I decided to go back to my hometown in Penang. Memandangkan I'll be starting my Masters on 14 Feb...ambik kesempatan jugakla untuk berjumpa ayah dan bonda untuk meminta restu. Restu penting woooo....kang tak berkat plak segala pe yang aku belaja nnti. Dahla once I start my Masters tu tak tau bila lagik nak boleh balik kampung.

Mula2 ingatkan nak start the journey at around 4am..tapi memandangkan the night before (Friday) aku gatal2 tido lambat...maka perjalanan di mulakan almost 5.30am. traffic quite smooth as expected....so bila masuk2 jer highway..tekannnnnn......tp tak laju sangat la. Mula2 tu maintain dlm 150-160kmh jer...lepas tu sbb terasa ngantuk mula muncul...lowered down to around 120-130kmh. Budget2 kiranya takder speedtrap la awal2 pagi camnihkan....tp tengok2 a few klicks from the Tapah RnR....blue lights are flashing...Oh demmmmmmm......roadblock...abehla....takpe takpe buat muka cool n innocent..bila sampai jer,got waved to the side.Oh tahi oh tahi oh tahi....abehla 300 bucks...dah sampai at the side,wound down my mirror and bg salam to the cop yg menghampiri. Soalan pertama:

"Encik nak ke mana ni?"

"Balik kampung tok..Penang"

"Dari KL ke ni?"

"Ye Tok"

*Cop Looks at his clipboard* (Aku nampak ada doodlings n scribblings jer kat situ...hehehehehe)

"Takpe...ni terlebih laju sikit jer ni.Jalan cik jalan..." *Waves me off*

Fuuhhhhh...legaaaaaa. I must have had the biggest shit-eating grin on my face after dat. I also had a lot of time to think and reflect... Meneruskan perjalanan dengan aman dan sentosa selepas itu. I think I arrived in Penang around 10am+ after dat...ada la stop 2x kot utk replenish kudapan dan juga minuman

5 mins after arriving...

Layan CnC:Red Alert 3

Nampak2 Paksu bawak laptop bag masuk rumah haruslah mintak pasang sbb nak layan game kan....ni my darling anak buah @ fruit child...hahhahah. Yang kecik tu namanya Mohd Afeef @ Baba n yang beso tu namanya Mohd Aleef @ Ayip. Anak2 my sis yang rumahnya depan rumah my parents. Oh ya...itulah my new laptop skin...cantik tak?Hehehehehehe

Terpaksa berpindah dok kat bawah sebab powerpoint tak sampai meja

Sungguh gigih mereka melayan. Heheheheheh. Takperla...watever it is, I love them to bits.

Anyway masa driving tu i was doing some soul searching...looking back at my life...at the years that had gone by. This year's arrival hit me in the face with a big realisation....this April I will be 29 years old. Just one more year/digit away from replacing that '2' with a '3'. OMG......where did the years go??? Sometimes macam tak percaya....betul ke aku ni dah nak 30??? Masa dok drive tu terkeluarla la pulak lagu Michael Jackson....'Have you seen my childhood". Well...I wouldn't worry about my childhood...but sometimes I wonder what happened to my late teens and early adulthood. It's all been a big blur...everythings rushing sooooooo fast that I feel like I want to scream "BRAKE!!!BRAKE!!!BRAKE!!!!". Well...if only life had brakes. Tapi lately...for the past 7 months,barulah aku terasa macam my life ni mula nak teratur sikit. Why 7 months...hhehehehe.....Barulah aku nampak macam hidup aku mula ada hala tuju,takder la terumbang ambing sangat.Alhamdulillah.

Nak tepek sikit gambo umah my parents...

From the front..hahahha, I know..bnyk pokok..mcm hutan..

Porch/garage....pun bnyk pokok

Sangat suka swing ni..tp tak buleh ayun kuat2...ada kebarangkalian terbalik....(hampir2..hheehehhheehhehe)

Fountain/kolam ikan...ada aktiviti best kat sini....

Itulah my mum...she has very green fingers and sangat suka tanam pokok2 ni....siap ada pokok grape...malangnya masa aku balik grape tak berbuah...grape yg hijau2 tu...quite sweet.

Ni pulak rumah my sis...across the road jer...baling batu sure kena...I online kat Penang pun guna wireless network my brother in law

Masih dengan tema hutan mcm my mum..tp hutan sekunder ni...br nak naik...

Tumbuhan2 menjalar di porch nyer awning...

Ni my bro-inlaw buat sendiri....his dad potong pokok konifer kat Cameron n my bro in law bawak balik this part. My Bro in law ketam sendiri...letak lacquer n bagai...pastu letak paku2 utk wat tulisan. Tulisan tu dibuat dr tali2. Sgt kagum...must have taken him 1year +

Yerr..kakakku juga ada fountain/kolam ikan..siap 3 tingkat lagi!

Yer...ini adalah arnab..rumah kakakku adalah syurga arnab..now I know what it means when people say breeding like rabbits!Dr 4 eko telah menjadi berpuluh2 eko....siap bg2 kat org...

Close-up rabbit2 yang comel.Yang kaler Itam putih n facing the cam tu pregnant....anytime nak give birth sbb dok gigit arnab2 lain....hang nak beranak dok p gigit org lain awat...habaq mai sat?

Petang tu boring2...lepak2 dengan anak2 buah tengok mereka bermain basikal....

Ayip menunjukkan bakat mat rempit!

Tuan punya blog teruja untuk naik beskal gak...ye yee yeee aku tau ada budak batch aku nak cakap beruang naik beskal...so aku ckp dulu. Hhahaha...seb bek beskal tak ranap!!!!!!!! :P

Lepas naik beskal tu kaki cam panas la pulak..so Ayip telah memberi cadangan yang bernask untuk aku cuba iaitu:

TADDAAA!!!!Dr Fish di kolam my mum!!Menggunakan ikan guppy sajer! Inilah aktivit menarik yang aku ckp tu...siap lepas buat petang tu..selama aku kat Penang...aku buat pagi sekali petang sekali.Nasib baik ikan-ikan tu tak mampos dok makan kaki aku yg berbau perghhh punyer best!

Heheheheh...aku bertolak balik on Monday at around 3pm and arrived safely in KL at 7pm..itu sajaaaaaaa.....

Later peeps!!!bnyk lagi nak post ni tp nnti2 la yer...lewat dah ni...

ANSARA Terendak Paintball Tournament on 7th Feb 2009

2009-02-05T05:31:00.000-08:00

Sungguh tak sabar menanti sabtu. This paintball tournament project started out pretty small time and was just supposed to be between a few friends. It suddenly snowballed and entries kept coming in....from 2 groups of 5 to now almost 8 groups. I'm pretty excited to see it happen and hope that it will run smoothly. Too bad B is suffering from swollen gums...was hoping to play with her. Tp memandangkan the high number of pax....i'll be sitting it out unless there are a shortage of players. Oh yeah...this tournament is for the members of Anak2 Sains Mara (ANSARA) Kem Terendak, Melaka...my old school. I spent 5 years of my life and I believe MRSM Terendak has played a big role in shaping me into the person I am. I guess this is my small way of giving back since I received so much from my alma mater.

Pray for my success!!! If I'm not playing I'll be doing a some-what live coverage of the event on www.extk.net.

Penat...

2009-02-02T09:21:00.001-08:00

Baru balik dr Penang....penat...takde tenaga nak mengupdate...ada bnyk benda nak di share...ahhh esok jerlah...

looking forward to playing paintball this saturday....

looking forward to starting my MBA on 14 Feb..

The future looks bright and challenging....I embrace it fully.....

*Splash Splash* The sound of me plunging headfirst into tomorrow....

"What We Do Today....Echoes in Eternity"

Streamyx kembali intermittent....ohhh thanks to our govt for allowing such a wonderful monopoly!!!

2009-01-28T03:11:00.000-08:00

Streamyx kembali membuang aku mcm nak scream....jap ok jap tak. Tiap2 hari makin bnyk dosa aku dok maki hamun.....aper ke jadahnyer ni....sudah mula terasa mcm nak amik P1 wimax...diri ini memerlukan internet connection di rumah...kalau tidak akan di cap sebagai orang kampung oleh encik bob. Banyak btol post aku yang terbengkalai begitu saja sbb connection tiba2 ilang..
Hmm..nak cerita apa yer.....last week cuti yg agak panjang. Bermula dari Jumaat tengahari sehinggalah ke Selasa. Sebelum cuti bermula pun aku dah in holiday mood sebab gaji masuk pada 23 Jan...agaknya untuk membolehkan mereka2 yg berbangsa china di Ranhill WorleyParsons untuk bershopping. Dapat2 tau jer gaji masuk...aku terus call B....ajak g Low Yat Plaza untuk ngabehkan duit....alasan kukuh yg aku bagi kat diri sendiri adalah untuk membeli 'kulit laptop' dan juga cooler pad untuk lappy aku ni. Disebabkan Komuter terlewat n aku pun terlupa nak ckp kat B yg aku sepatutnya balik kol 5.20pm sebab keluar rumah lewat sket ng perasaan penuh yakin yg jalan akan clear sebab aku rasa Cina2 semua dah balik bercuti. Akhirnya.....ambik kau....kaw2 punya jam. Dahla aku naik kereta...kalau naik moto tu larat jugakla nak melakukan aksi cilok2 (yang kadang2 aku pun kecut t*lo dok budget lepas tak moto bagak aku tu). Anyway to make it up to B aku janji yang aku akan belanja dia makan sedap lepas abeh beli skin n cooler pad tu.

Dr Empire Tower ke Bukit Bintang took only about 10mins....sampai2 depan Bukit Bintang...surprise!!!! Takde kereta...aku rasa kalau aku main futsal kat atas jalan pun boleh. dengan penuh gembiranya menuju ke lowyat...dr depan BB plaza...nak masuk ke parking lowyat n dpt parking took me 10mins.Kagum betol! Rekod aku pernah stuck kat area ni is almost 2 hours. Lepas parking ng penuh cargas bergerak ke Ground Floor lowyat utk jumpa B yg telah menunggu. Sampai2 depan Lobby lowyat tu kami ternampak benda ni:

Eh...tiang apakah ini..........

Alamak.....kepala siapakh di tinggalkan di sini??? OOO tarian singa rupanya. B sangat eksaited sebab menurut beliau...beliau telah lama tak tengok lion dance...hampir setahun lamanya....heheheeheh. Tp one thing caught my eye:

Lion dance troupe ni agak muhibbah...although I didn't see any Malays around..there were quite a few Indian members of the troupe. Ada sorang dua yg looked to be quite young. See...Malaysians can live in harmony...we can respect and even embrace others' unique diversity...cuma kadang2 ada a few bad apples yg try to stir the pot.

Selepas agak lama melilau ke sana ke mari dan masuk bnyk kedai...ada sesetengah tu masuk 2,3 kali. Thanks to my B sebab sabar menemaniku walaupun mmg nampak beliau kepenatan. Selepas berjaya menjumpai skin dan cooler pad yang berkenan...kami bergerak ke tingkat bawah. Setelah kata sepakat di perolehi....kami bersetuju utk mkn makanan Japang mlm ni. Aku terlupa apa nama kedai ni...tp this is the second time we've eaten here n the food in not bad. This is what we had:

Mine : Unagi Bento (Can't resist Unagi....besar gila smpai tak muat)

Her's : Salmon Bento

Ours : Sake Kawa Piri-Piri (Fried Salmon Skin in Piri-Piri sauce....don't ask me what Piri-piri is...walaupun bunyinya seperti pigi-pigi. Hehehehhe Semangkuk beso...hambek ko!)

The drinks here are also free flow...so kami sangat2lah rajin berulang alik mengisi cawan kami. Total cost incurred...Rm52.50. Totally worth it!

Heheheheh....streamyx seperti mawu mendisconnectkan dirinya...baik aku publish sblm apa2 terjadi...nnti aku update lagi on my weekend......

Tuesday...Tuesday...

2009-01-13T06:22:00.000-08:00

Hari ni agak bosan kat office...nothing much to do just preparing for the upcoming teambuilding for my department. It's gonna be at Cyberview Lodge in Cyberjaya. I've been here before for another teambuilding and it's quite ok. The rooms are superb.....they should be for RM350 per nite for the cheapest room. It's the only hotel/resort that I've been to which has full wireless connectivity all around the resort...tempat lain paling kuat pun wireless access dekat lobby jer.I'll try to post some pics of the room and facilities once I'm back from the program.

Semalam wireless ni dok wat hal lagi....tengah syok2 menghapdet...perangai sewel beliau berulang kembali...seb baik B semangat nak tolong with sambungkan updating...kalau tak berabuk la.Fed-up btul aku dgn wireless ni...nobody seems to know what is wrong with the dang thing....ada jugak aku campak masuk laut ni kang....

Esok ada lepak2 time with some of my old pals from MRSM Terendak. Hopefully everyone can make it. it's so hard nowadays to be able to get a time where almost everyone is free.....I guess it's understandable as everyone has different lives now....different priorities to juggle, family,career,etc. It's just such a good feeling to be able to see the old gang again...sometimes when I see my old friends I laugh inside when I remember all the silly things we did....all the pranks, the fights...makan megi malam-malam....listening to david teo's ghost stories slot...lepas tu siap boleh pengaruh Madam Hazalinda dengar....hahahaah those were the days. how we have grown (some vertically...some more horizontally than others... :) ). Good mates.....good pals...I wouldn't trade my years in Terendak for anything else.

Here's a vid of my Falco with the new Yoshimura slip-ons (some have been asking how it sounds like)...so guys..this is for you.....enjoy! Haha

Oh lupa pulak nak cakap....masa sampai kat Taman Tasik Cempaka tu we actually parked on the wrong side of the lake...so we had to walk quite a fair bit to get to where B's parents were at. Along the way we had to cross on this bridge to get to the other side of the lake/pond/puddle/watever. We stopped at the middle of the bridge to admire these things:

Air di bawah jambat sgt clear sehingga anda boleh melihat ikan2 tilapia sedang berenang2....kagum!

Ini pulak burung yang kami tidak ketahui spesis mahupun genus nya....ada 4 ekor semua yang sgt sibuk memburu anak2 ikan ini. Saya dan Mas hanya menggelar mereka burung stalker kerana ciri-ciri stalker yang sgt professional telah ditunjukkan oleh beliau......

Dekat Tmn Tasik Cempaka ni macam2 ada....skate park....wall climbing...exercise machine...macam2 lagi lah! Saya berasa sangat2 kagum...oo bad some of the exercise things were broken and in a state of disrepair

Oh terlupa jugak nak cerita....masa tengah-tengah syok dok makan dekat rumah Mas....beliau begitu girang dan happy.....beliau melawak dan main tolak2 dgn saya...hasilnya saya telah tergelincir dari kerusi lalu telah terjelepuk di atas lantai. Hahahahah...apalah salahku sehingga di layan sebegitu...

Penduduk tempatan menunjukkan tempat dimana kejadian berlaku......

Some other pics that I took on that Saturday..

Setinggi tinggi layang2 ini...tinggi lagi cintaku padamu.....

Sunday....

Mula2 ingatkan ari Ahad takder nak jumpa B dah.....nak bagi beliau chance utk study and/or siapkan esemen beliau....tetapi SMS dari beliau yang menyatakan beliau masih tidak puas bermain layang2 membuatkan diri ini bergegas ke bangi dengan kelajuan cahaya. Berikut adalah dialog diantara Ma (mak B) dan B:

Ma: Fizul datang lagi harini?

B: A'a

Ma: Dia datang semata2 nak main layang2?

B: A'a

Hehehehhehe....sungguh kelaka bila fikir2 balik....

So at around 5pm diriku ini sampailah lagi di Bangi....tengok kat Taman Tasik Cempaka ramai jugak orang..kami bergegas ke port sama seperti semalam...syukur takder orang mengambik tempat kami semalam. Diriku ini dengan seberapa cepat...mulalah proses cantum mencantum wau batman itu.....

Connect A to C....push rod D into eyelet I.....insert tab G into slot C...gaaahhhhhhhh!!!

Terbelit kat sini pulakkk....gaahhhhh lagiiii....hehhehehehe

Selepas layang2 kelawar itu siap dipasang...bermulalah aktiviti bermain layang2....sungguh menyedihkan kerana angin pada hari ini tidak sekuat semalam...punya la payah nak naikkan lelayang ni.....

Awatla hang ni ketegaq sangatttttt........naikla tinggi sikit......iskhhh ada yang makan sup layang2 kelawaq mlm ni!!!

That's more like it...too bad this is about as high as it gets...the lack of wind made it pretty hard to keep the kite airborne...

Penat btol dok main ni....lepak kat sini sat la....sambil2 posing sikit...wakakkakaa

I wanna share with you guys a short video...this shows a successful launch of our kite on Sunday..

Well...that shows a successful launch....but as everyone knows.....a good movie always has bloopers...let me share our blooper...

Batman n Batgirl! Dat's all folks!

A very relaxing and enjoyable weekend...

2009-01-11T05:20:00.001-08:00

This weekend was great….
Friday was basically a lazy day….didn’t do much, just relaxing, surfing and setting up my LAN network so that I can play multiplayer Red Alert 3 skirmishes with my bro. Also watched some TV though I can’t recall what I watched…hehhehehh. Oh yeah, for those who don’t know…I have a 2 ½ day weekends as Fridays I only work from 8am-12 noon, so I count Friday afternoon as part of my weekend. Started to ride again to office on Friday after a long hiatus from riding due to the rainy season. Hopefully this weather stays so that I can ride more often…though it rained again this evening. :( . Kesian jugak tgk B dok kelang kabut buat assignment beliau....if I could help I would...U know that right dear? As it is...bagi semangat dari jauh jerla...

Saturday.....woke up a bit late because I was up kinda late surfing the net....playing SimAquarium and Tradewinds Caravans. Hehehehhe....and of course YM ng B...teman B. Today janji ng B nak jumpa at 2.30pm...tp lepas siap mekap2 (hehhehehehehe) dlm kol 2...tengok my bro dah masak spagettti pulak. Walaupun dah janji nak makan dekat rumah B...tp makan jerla spaghetti ng bro jugak. Sekali sekala weekend ok jugak mkn ng family, yer tak? So last2 dlm pukul 4 baru sampai dekat rumah B. Sampai dekat rumah B....makan lagi,hehhehehe. Ayah beliau telah memasak ayam masak kicap n sayur campur chinese style dan juga sup lobak putih. Sangat sedap....membuatkan diriku yang telah makan sepinggan besar spaghetti menambah nasi lagi...hehehhehehe. Ditambah pula dengan nasi yang berkeadaan lembik dan air sejuk yg sgt dingin.....hhhuuuuhhhh sedappppp....makan punya makan...tak sedar waktu telah time....perlawanan bola ansara Terendak vs Ansara Taiping akan diadakan hari ni di padang bola sepak ILSAS Bangi. Me n Mas tak sure pukul berapa perlawanan nak start so main redah jer datang padang kol 6...hasilnya :

Unfortunately this was not the match! Dunno if the match started and finished early or anything...but this was definately not it! After walking aimlessly around with B and taking a few shots...we decided to chow. Suddenly B got a call on her mobile...it was her dad. Her mum and dad ada dekat Taman Tasik Cempaka and they invited us to come join them. It sounded like a fun idea so I started my car and we headed there. Bila sampai-sampai jer....OH MY GOD!!!!!!

UNIDENTIFIED FLYING OBJECTS HAVE INVADED BANGI!!!

Hehehehehe...those UFOs are actually kites....I haven't seen soooo many kites in the air for such a long time...and these pics probably show abt 1/4 of the kites. There were a lot of families there having a nice day of rest and relaxation...flting their kites. Rupa-rupanya parents Mas pun join jugak layan main layang-layang ni....and her mother tu sepatutnya dok tengah tak sihat! Haisshhh...rajin sungguh mereka ini. I really admire B's parents...they are sooooo loving, lovey dovey and sweet...I hope B and myself will be the same way...

Sungguh sweet mereka kannnn.....idola ku...hehehhehe.

The happy family. Memandang ke atas dengan penuh khusyuk...perhatian...Roki tiada dalam gambar...hheheheheh.

Layang-layang ini kini milikku!!!Wahahahahhaha....B menunjukkan bakat muka saiko beliau...uuuu Takowttttt!!!!!

Kembali kepada muka ayu dan ceria selepas lelayang berada di tangan beliau...so cute la my B...Love u sooo much!!!!

You....

and me...

.....were meant to be...forever in love...

Dat's it folks...my eyes are starting to get blurry as it's past 1am...gotta work tomorrow...I'll update summore tomorrw with some extra pics of Saturday and the story and pics dor Sunday...

Keep safe and remember to buckle-up!

2009-01-09T09:19:00.000-08:00

Wah…I think it’s been almost 2 months since I last updated this blog. Ni semua berpunca sebab the power surge that fried my wireless router….been too busy to get around to getting a new one. Finally got a new one a few days ago at Low Yat Plaza at the same time that I got my new lappy. I’ll b doing a brief rundown on some of the new gadgets that I got after my last update later on. =)

My love love has been going quite well…..as usual there’s been good days and bad days. I would be lying if I just wrote all the good stuff…but on the other hand I’m not the kind of guy that airs his dirty laundry in public. Whatever it is….my love life has been meaningful and fulfilling. I’ve met Mas’ parents…and she has met my dad, my bros and also my sis. Kesian B nak jumpa mama on Thursday tal sempat sebab mama nak balik Penang awal. Takperla B…next time Ok. Last month B masuk wad because of denggi..kesian B. It was a lucky that I managed to apply for emergency leave …dapatla temankan B for one day…teman kat wad…lepas tu antar g kelas….uruskan hal ptptn…beliau sungguh bz pada hari tu…walaupun penat, I was happy that I was there for her when she needed me. I apologize to her if i was a little testy in the evening as I was exhausted....but I hope she forgives me and knows how much I love her....

New gadgets for 2008...

well.....firstly is my new wireless router from SMC Networks...

It ain't much and the wireless is fickle like crazy and makes me wanna pull my hair out sometimes...but at least I'm online and that's what counts

I also got me a brand new lappy...a Compaq Presario CQ40 powered by an AMD Turion X2 2.1Ghz processor with 3Gb Ram and Windows Vista Ultimate...bolehlaaaaa...

Love the glossy black top cover....but damn if it isn't a fingerprint magnet....senang keje CSI nak carik prints...hehehhehe looks like i'm gonna have to put a laptop skin on it....haven't decided wether to get a fancy one or just put a clear transparent skin.....we'll see. Ada alasan nak g Low Yat lagi ni...hehhehehe. Love the touchpad also....it's metallic-ky I guess...cun sangat2!

My Falco's using Yoshimura end cans now and damn they sound great! sounds like a damn machine gun on the road and sometimes it will even trigger car alarms!I kid you not...now that's what a litre bike is supposed to sound like! Tak dapat Comrade Akrapovic....yoshi-san pun jadi! Actually the yoshis sound better than the standard Akras fitted to Aprilia bikes...sebab the Akras masih ada baffles tp my Yoshis kosong jer dalam tu...hehhehehe...my apologies to my neighbours kalau ada yang terjaga at 6.30 every morning when I start the bike to go to work..hehhheheheh....

Also got a Progrip tank protector for my Falco...hopefully tadak scratches after this when mounting or dismounting....

That's all for tonite....bnyk lagik benda nak update tapi dah berair0air mata ni dah....esok nak jumpa my baby n maybe g tengok Ansara terendak nyer football match...aku ni jadik spectator jerla kot....dahla tak fit...aku mmg kaki bangku dari zaman sekolah lagi...hahahahahah....Peace!

The meaning of Raya......

2008-10-06T06:16:00.001-07:00

1 Syawal tiba lagi....tahun ni I thought it was going to be just another Eid Mubarak like the past few years. Aku tak tau kenapa the last few years I somehow have lost the spirit of Eidulfitri. For the past 3 years, i think, Eidulfitri has become something comnmercialised...dah takde keseronokannya. I go through the motions of festivities because everyone else is doing it...orang beli baju raya...aku beli baju raya jugak. Bermaaf-maafan sekadar cukup syarat..even with family members. Orang bagi duit raya...aku bagi duit raya. I thought this year was gonna be a bit of the same old same old...how wrong I was....

Monday 29 September 2008....
Today bukak posa ng B dekat office...Plan was to stay back an extra 3 hours so tomorrow I can knock off earlier and start the journey balik kampung at 1pm. Untuk berbuka tu beli KFC jer dekat Ampang Park...nak buat cerita suwey....handphone tertinggal dekat atas meja office. That by itself wouldn't have been so bad...tp dlm 6pm Fadzlee called me on the HP...kiranya nak buat surprise nak cakap esok aku tak payah masuk office terus balik kampuing jer. Dier dok call2 aku tak jawab (sebab hp atas meja)....brader sudah naik hangin la...masuk2 office...check fon ada voice mail...suruh aku call dia balik...lepas2 call brader cakapla aku tak payah masuk opis esok..tp ng nada marah la...aduhhh...spoil mood aku nak balik kg...

Tuesday 30 September 2008..
Bertolak dari Setapak pukul 0715...traffic cool...tak banyak kereta. Managed to maintain around 130-140km/h sampai lebih kurang Taiping. Berhenti kejap kat Perhentian Ladang Bikam....basuh muka n stretching sket2 pastu sambung balik the journey. Arrived in Penang around 1115. Along the Bertam Putra road bertembung dengan kereta Kak Noni yang on the way to Pacific sbb baru nak beli baju Raya untuk abg ezal. Terkejut beliau becoz I told her that I would only be coming home after work. Sampai2 rumah mama pun terkejut. Baru jer letak2 beg Mama dah ajak pergi rumah orang2 tua dekat Kubang Semang. Memang rumah orang tua2 tu peninggalan my tok nek n mama selalu menjenguk kat sana. Di sana aku dpt tengok orang tua2 yang dalam 7-8 orang dekat sana. Ada yang anak2 atau sedara-mara akan datang ambik utk balik beraya tapi ada jugak yg beraya di rumah tu.Sedey jugak memikirkan keadaan mereka...Mama ada juga offer utk bawak balik sorang dua beraya kat rumah...tapi takde yg nak...lagi meriah beraya dia sana dengan kawan2..kata mereka...tersentap aku dengan kata2 mereka itu..aku terfikir...aku ada ke kawan yang aku sanggup (atau mereka sanggup) beraya dengan aku nnti bila tua? Ahhh..mungkin terlalu awal untuk aku berfikir begitu...tapi aku bersumpah aku takkan biarkan keadaan macam ni terjadi kepada kedua ibubapaku...biar pun aku terpaksa menitiskan peluh darah...aku akan usahakan untuk beraya bersama kedua ibu bapa tercinta. Tapi aku terdetik pada masa tu....apakah maknanya raya? Bagi mereka...bukannya baju baru...bukannya memberi duit raya...tetapi kehadiran rakan-rakan untuk menemani mereka...menghilangkan rasa sepi dan duka buat seketika......

On the way back, singgah gerai jual daging...beli kelempong...lidah dan juga kaki lembu. Kaki lembu ni di beli khas untuk dptkan kaki nya @ hoof. Aku akan cerita lebih lanjut dlm post akan dtg pasal mkn hoof ni...

1 October 2008...
Takbir Raya bergema...mengejutkan aku dari lena....emmm tido sket lagi..penat lagi dr travelling n tolong2 mama semalam. Sebenarnya semalam aku terlena masa dok tolong-tolong mama. Niat nak naik mandi pastu turun balik tolong mama...tapi ntah camana aku tewas dengan bisikan syaitan dan aku tertido sampai pagi. Ya Allah...bersalahnya aku rasa buat macam tu kat mama...terasa cam nak sujud mintak ampun. Lagi la pulak bila aku dpt tau mama berjaga smpai hampir 2AM memasak dan takde orang tolong. Hancur berderai hatiku masa tu...betapa zalimnya aku...balik sekali sekala...menyusahkan mama. Mama...ampunkan diriku ini....
Solat Aidilfitri.....solat tahun ni aku berasa tenang...pertama kali sejak 4-5 tahun ni aku dapat bersolat tanpa menitiskan air mata....sebelum ni tiap2 kali solat aidilfitri mesti aku terpaksa menahan sebak tapi tahun ni tak...aku berjaya solat dengan tenang. Dalam hati dah plan nak mintak ampun kat mama dan ayah lepas solat......
Lepas-lepas solat....kelang-kabut...orang2 surau datang berziarah kat rumah....barang2 tak berapa nak ready lagik...ais belum beli lagik...aku terkocoh2 g kedai beli ais...nasib baik elegan abg ezal ada untuk berkhidmat. Lepas org surau balik....datang lagi org...dan orang datang bertalu2...sampaikan tahun ni my family tak sempat nak beraya properly n tak sempat nak ambik family pic. Dahla aku frust...tahun ni aku bawak balik camera.....siap dengan batteries fully charged...tgk2 memory card tak bawak....grrrr....tapi apa2 pun raya pertama meriah...seronok melayan orang dan juga melayan anak2 saudara. Aku terpk lagik...takde sessi bermaaf2an pun raya masih meriah...jadi apa maknanya raya? Aku pakai jubah tahun lepas yg mama beli dekat Mekah untuk solat raya...tak berkurang pun khusyuk....malah aku lebih tenang...jadi tak perlu jugak baju baru untuk raya...jadi apa maknanya raya...

2 October 2008...
Raya kedua....orang masih ramai datang ke rumah...sangat2 penat..tapi hari ni raya tak begitu meriah sebab kak noni dan family dah balik ke Cameron Highlands, beraya rumah belah abg ezal pulak. Walaupun ramai orang datang...suasana tetap terasa hambar...nasib baik pemergian kak noni digantikan dengan kehadiran momok...abg sulungku pada jam 1230 tengahari. Aku tertanya sekali lagi....apakah maknanya raya? Walaupun ramai yang bertandang...raya kedua ku tetap terasa sedikit hambar...apa puncanya?Apa makna raya?

3 October 2008...
Pagi raya yang plaing bermakna...aku rasakan pada hari ini...aku telah bertemu semula erti Aidilfitri bagi diriku ini...pada pagi ini kami sekeluarga bersolat subuh berjemaah dengan ayah sebagai imamnya.Masya'allah...tenang sungguh jiwaku terasa waktu ini....lepas solat mama n ayah bagi tazkirah kepada anak2...aku tewas kepada air mataku masa ni....air mata kegembiraan...air mata kesedihan betapa aku telah banyak berdosa dan bersalah pada kedua ibu bapaku...teringat kembali zaman kanak2...zaman dimana semua orang menganggap ibubapa mereka adalah segalanya...we worshipped our parents...dad was a superman to me and mum was supermum...able to solve all our problems with just a few words...heal all our wounds with just a kiss...tp sekarang how frail my parents are...baru aku sedar betapa rapuhnya hidup ini...made me realise how much i have taken my parents and my siblings for granted. Kita yakinkah esok kita masih boleh menelefon dah mengucapkan salam kepada ibu kita? Dapatkah kita mendengar suara merdunya yang dulu mendodoikan kita sehingga tertidur? Masihkah kita dapat mendengar suara bapa yang penuh kasih sayang...yang selalu menasihati kita..membentuk kita menjadi manusia yang berguna? Dapatkah kita bergurau senda bersama adik beradik yang telah bersama bersusah senang? Apakah yang akan kita lakukan sekiranya ia semua telah terlambat? Adakah sesalan menjadi gurindam kita? Dapatkah kita terima hakikatnya ibu dan bapa tiada lagi di dunia? Adakah berseri lagi Aidilfitri tanpa keduanya?Aku takut untuk menghadapi AIdilfitri tanpa ibubapa, tanpa keluarga..kerana bagiku...hilanglah maknanya berhari raya........

Harap2 tak demam la...i'm looking forward to having my Iftar with some of my ex-schoolmates...Is & Mad on Thursday dekat Section 15 Bangi. Of course my B will be making an appearance too. That's the beauty of having a girlfriend from the same school...she understands how I think and she can join in happily in any occasions which involves my ex-schoolmates. Even if she can't join me...she knows that I'm with friends and not out rabble-rousing or creating mischief.

Yesterday went up to Genting to recce Awana again for the phase 2 teambuilding. Sempat naik sky flyer seround...dem it was fun! Too bad it was too short...baru nak thrill dah sampai kat the end....gotta go up again one of these days....Giler btol...dalam posa2 sempat lagi main...hahahahha.. Bila lagi nak dpt go up to Genting on company expense and during office hours kan?Hehehehhe...

I'm still patiently waiting for my Falco...demit demit demit...lambatnyerrrrrrrrrr.Hopefully can get it by Saturday...kalau ada sangkut apa2 lagi....lepas raya la jawabnya. Ari Jumaat ni gonna go pick-up my IZ2 yang i booked aritu. Tak sabar....it's black and red..just like my falco!

Talking about Raya...this year I'm going back to Penang on the eve of Raya....sedey btol...nak buat camne...dun have that much leave as I just joined Ranhill...never mind...simpan leave tu and end of the year convert it to cash..yehhaaaaaa.....!!!!

Later dudes n dudettes!Masa utk bbuka semakin hampir...and that ayam percik is just screaming for me! Ciao!

A great day!!!!

2008-09-19T09:06:00.000-07:00

Arini berjalan-jalan di Sogo n Campbell dengan my baby boo. Actually the reason we went there was because B nak beli baju raya at Sogo n I wanted to survey some riding gear sebab aritu tgk kat pertama mahal ya rabbi.....ended up B beli abju 4 helai n 1 jeans....I bought 3 shirts and booked an IZ2 cordura riding jacket. I bought a Polo short sleeved shirt at only RM38..murah giler..agak malas nak ambik gambar...tgkla camne...kalau rajin i'll take some pics.

Bukak posa dekat foodcourt Sogo....I had Spaghetti ala-mushroom n B had spaghetti carbonara...bolehla....padan lah dengan rega rm8.50 nya.We both had watermelon juice. Lepas balik dr Sogo..anta B ke KL sentral n i went home....abt 5mins after reaching home, i feel asleep depan tv sambil tgk rattatouille...hhehehehe. AAnyway...B thanks for a great day!I really enjoyed myself....I always enjoy anytime spent with u darling...sekarang tak sabar plak nak jumpa esok n bbuka with your batch.....

On my professional front...the L&D Dept has moved from the 20th floor to the 19th...my cubicle is quite nice..the only thing is I'm gonna miss the nice view I had at the 20th floor...I'll be staring at a wall in my new cubicle...takpa2...nak g carik a nice pic n tampal kat dinding tu...hhehehehe

Blogging from Impiana Cherating

2008-08-27T08:40:00.000-07:00

Lama aku dah tak post new entry....I would like to use being busy as an excuse...but it's more of a lazy and no mood kind of thingy.Hahahahah...lazy bum...

I am blogging from the lobby of Impiana Cherating Resort at the moment....I've been here since Monday to conduct a Team Effectiveness Workshop (26-27 Aug) and a follow-up session for the previous Team Effectiveness Workshop (TEW) on 28th. Arrived at around 5pm on Monday. Had a heavy lunch courtesy of Shangri-la KL sebelum bertolak. The food was excellent...the sashimi section was great and I filled up on salmon (as usual) and other assortments of raw stuff. Oyster ntah berapa aku tibai..dahla besar-besar. Risau jugak sebab supposed to drive to Cherating after that...tp memandangkan I am car pooling dengan Akhir so I thought Okla sebab boleh take turns driving his Naza Ria. Aper lagi aku makan masa tu? Emm...the roast lamb loin was excellent...almost felt as if it was melting in my mouth....really yummy. For desert I had some strawberries and marshmallows dipped in chocolate. Damn...I'm really gonna have to watch my weight...mampos dah tak size M lepas ni....

Today is the final day for the TEW....after conducting it for about 3 sessions I think I'm finally finding my groove and getting comfortable delivering it. Rasanya this round i was able to better connect with the pax and was able to offer advice to them. Kadang-kadang terasa janggal jugak bila someone yg age level 40+ ask advice from me tp I think of it as a great honour sebab the person thinks that I am able to help him. I guess that's the baggage that comes along with being in an officer level post....with great power (ye kerrr???) comes great responsibility....

Last saturday I finally managed to go to Moto Milia....fell in love with the Aprilia Falco...now I'm 90% sure of taking it...tinggal nak letak deposit jer ni...Although it's a litre bike..it's relatively light....height pun manageable for me...as it's a v-twin, bunyinyer...perrrrghhhhh....mengancam n garang. Tp macam mana pun when I take, I'll probably terus fit it with the optional full system titanium Akrapovic exhausts.....Loud pipes saves lives man! Some pics...

i wish i was a better listener...so i can listen to hear problems...
i wish i could solve her problems...and make her happy again...

kenapa aku terasa macam bila aku mendengar masalahnya aku semakin menambah keserabutan dia....I feel so useless...i feel so low. Kadang2 aku tertanya...adakah kehadiran aku dlm hidup dia membuatkn dia gembira atau makin sedih...? Diri ni terasa sedih jugak bila cuba nak menolong (walaupun sekadar mendengar) tp tak berjaya....berjaya kena marah jer. Ntahlah kenapa aku ni dilahirkan begitu tak guna...the underachieving guy...black sheep of the family. Terasa useless sgt2 bila nak mendengar masalah orang pun tak berjaya....what a loser I am. Aku tau bukan salah dia.....it's all my fault...if only i was a better listener....if only i was as good as other people....

Kepala pening dan memusing2 lepas terhantuk cabinet td...sekarang semakin2 bpinau2...dah 2x muntah dah ni...i think number 3-7 coming soon..sia2 aku makan dominos mlm ni....

08.08.08....what the fatt??

2008-08-08T09:32:00.000-07:00

Today is definately NOT a lucky day.....started the day dgn terbangun lewat....terkocoh2 bersiap nak ke opis pg td. Wpun cuma terlewat 13minits (tak terlewat pun sbb flexy time tp sepatutnya masuk 8am)..tp I really2 dislike being late...it gets me all stressed up and agitated. Lepas tu planning yang di buat dgn B tak menjadi plak...terlalu bnyk halangan yang pop-up last minit. Everything that can get me stressed and/or agitated happened today.....feeling very stressed. Lepas tu mlm ni dok kena sindir2 n marah pasal benda bodoh...lagi2 bertambah stress. Terus mcm depressed. Everyone mlm ni mcm nak marah kat aku....everyone too busy for me....arghhhh kadang2 terasa macam aku ni sorang2 je kat dunia ni. Selalu rasa terpinggir...selalu terasa out of place. Dulu aku sangat2 mudah nak masuk dengan orang...sangat2 mudah menyesuaikan diri dengan keadaan baru. Aku sendiri tak paham kenapa diri aku ni berubah sangat2 sekarang...low self-esteem...susah nak sesuaikan diri dengan orang dan suasana baru...I hate the person I am now...aku rindu kepada diri aku yang selalu bergelak ketawa....happy-go-lucky n selalu ceria. Sekarang aku ni dah grumpy...pessimistic...jarang2la aku nak ketawa sekarang. Aku sekarang very self-concious....sampai tahap paralysed and unable to take action. Takut segala2nya..takut making a fool of myself...takut nampak bodoh....fikir sangat what people will think. Sekarang dlm keadaan macam nak biol jer....

Motorsports Rawkssss!!!

2008-07-08T05:20:00.000-07:00

Last Sunday went to the drift event at Bukit Jalil with Eri. Man it rocked!!! Nothing beats the smell of burning rubber in the morning!! Actually it's the first time for me being in a drift event...was excited to finally experience what the hype is all about....and man it was a blast!!!Although I was only the co-pilot...I had one heckuva adrenaline rush!

REd Sylvia S15

Eri's Sylvia S15 in a drift (Squint real hard and u can see me in the co-pilot's seat!)

Smokin' Altezza (This car was involved in a crash with a white Cefiro during the last 5 mins of the event...)

Yang paling best is because dat day my baby was able to join us. It was the first time for Mas meeting my cousin Lyda n Eri. I'm quite close to both of them so this is a big step for me. Had a great time with my baby and I would like to thank her for sooooo patiently waiting for me at the sidelines whilst I was in the car with Eri..apa2 pun I know Mas had a great time too! The drift event started at about 10+ and ended at 6pm. Sadly Eri was involved in a minor crash during the last 10mins...nasib baik it caused minimal damage. The right lights cluster was smashed and I think one of the intercooler cables was ruptured. Thank god the intercooler was spared.

Lepas the event finished...we rushed to pack everything as Mas and myself were supposed to attend a choir and music festival at Istana Budaya. Boy, was that ever a big mistake! Was quite tired by the time we reached IB....and the performance was BoooOOoOOOrriiNNngggg!!!!CHoir was kinda OK tho I wish they had subtitles. The orchestra was dem boring and literally put me to sleep! Luckily Mas was able to hitch a ride with her friends to go back to Bangi as frankly I don't think I was in any shape to drive for more than 15mins at that stage! Pagi esok punyerlaaaa susah nak bangun...was quite sleepy in the office also...

Some pics at IB to close off this post...

Sepi....

2008-07-04T10:48:00.001-07:00

Today is the 4th day at Ranhill WorleyParsons for me...so far the trip has been smooth and enjoyable. Hopefully the future will be bright for me here. Cool thing bout working here is dat we only work for 4 1/2 days per week. Mon-Thursday we work 7AM-5Pm (tho flexy hours are 7-9am) and Friday 8-12. Basically I can go for Friday prayers and terus balik rumah!

Today after prayers I met up with my hunnybunny at Ampang Park. Hunny nak tengok Sepi katanya....I don't usually watch Malay movies because of :

1) Predictable, cliched storylines (Boy meets girl.....perbezaan dua darjat...etc2)
2) Acting keras macam kayu
3)Stupid and/or Illogical scenes..storylines

These are just 3 out of the hundreds of reasons that I can conjure up to avoid the dreaded ordeal of actually sitting thru one. Memandangkan Hunny nak sangat tengok cerita ni....I thought apa salahnya..she's been very accomodating with me and I want our relationship to be give-and-take (the fact that Hunny belanja the tix didn't hurt either...thanks B!). Lepas abeh solat Hunnytold me dat she managed to get tix for the 4.30pm show.Took the LRT from Ampang Park to KLCC and arrived there about 3.00PM. Lotsa time so we went to have lunch at the KLCC foodcourt. I had dumpling mee while Hunny BBQ chicken wantan mee or something like dat. After we finished lunch we still had about 1 hour to kill so we went round KLCC.Hunny as usual took pictures. I really liked this one....

The Happy Couple...lihatlah pipi kami yang kembong ittew!

Kol 4.20 kitorang entered the movie hall...but we didn't forget to grab a large popcorn and 2 regular cokes. Masa nak masuk hall...the popcorn dah 1/4 abeh...sebab lama sgt dok tunggu the hall open. Kelakar bila Hunny cakap jangan popcorn abeh sebelum masa hall sudah. Heheheh...me mmg mempunyai nafsu snacking yg agak tinggi...wpun had a heavy lunch...perut tak berdisiplin ni still nak gak snacking!

at 4.30 the movie started.From the start of the movie I was mesmerized...never have I seen such beautiful cinematography from a Malaysia movie. Each and every frame was an enchanting picture all by itself. Stunned..terpegun..terkujat...marvellous!Hats off to the director. Kabir Bhatia. The scenes were very well thought out and planned. Terrific usage of colours, lines and focusing conveyed and intensified the mood of the repective scenes. Job well done I say! the actors gave good performances as well. Afdlin did well in conveying the turmoil and angst of a modern day single guy whilst not turning the film into a sticom. In this movie Afdlin has proven himself to be a versatile actor, breaking free from the mold of comedic relief to a serious actor (though his comedic side was bubbling beneath the surface to get out....we love him all the more for it). Vanida Imran was sort of OK..thought there were not that many scenes with her in it (damn crying shame if you ask me!)...Nasha Aziz was good in a funny, goofy, scary psycho sort of way.
The 2 other stories were good too...too bad I'm too lazy to do a synopsis bout them here.Hehehehhe.

My only gripe with 'Sepi' would be the (to me) overly simplified plot n storylines...I guess in order to cram 3 stories into 1 movie, some sacrifices had to be made. But these elements made the love between Adam and Ilyana and also Sufi and Marya seem shallow and contrived and at times it seemed as if the scenes and subsequent feelings of love were rushed. It looked like a case of ..."you!go find a pretty girl and fall madly in love". I don't know bout the rest of you guys... but to me it takes a hell of a lot longer than a few days to fall so deeply in love with someone (Hahahahha...B! I can hear u sniggering in the background!)

.

Anyways....Thumbs up for a good effort! This is one malay movie that I will not mind watching over and over and over again...if just to soak up and admire the topnotch camera work. Bravo!

Watching Sepi made me think...it made me realise that I have myself been in the shoes of most of the characters at one point of my life (except the losing a wife/loved one part!). I have felt that loneliness gnawing at the corners of my heart....wondering if there is someone for me out there (Now I know dat person is you,B). I've known that loneliness when you love someone that can never be yours....admiring form afar...wishing that person would just look at me and acknowledge that I too am human...I too deserve the right to love and to be loved! But that is all now ancient history...my life is finally complete...I truly believe in my heart that I have found that elusive bit of happiness..the sunshine that shines tru my window after the rain....the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow....Mastura Abd Rahim. B thanks for being in my life....you've taught me how to laugh again....showed me that life goes on...and most importantly you've reminded me what it's like to love and to be loved.I love u always and forever too....

Month of Mishaps....

2008-06-08T23:18:00.000-07:00

The month of June is shaping up to be quite a challenging month for me...sooo many decisions to be made....all quite big and all important. Have been in the process of shifting out from my old place in Subang Suria to Setapak. It's not as much of physical exhaustion as mental. Have been in dis place for almost 2 years and it has served me well. Never actually realised the emotional baggage attached to this place before before I started moving my things. Thinking back on all the good times and bad times...if these walls could speak, what an epic tale they could tell. Still remember the times I would arrive home so exhausted that sometimes I never even took off my office clothes before drifting off to Dreamland...just put my head down on my pillow and Mr Sandman comes-a-knocking, sprinkling his magical sand. All the tears I shed...laughter....joy...sorrow....so much has been experienced within these 4 walls. Funny, I've never really felt attached to anyplace before..this isn't exactly my first time moving.

I am again changing jobs.....got two offers...one from Awana Genting Highlands and one from RanhillWorley. Right now I'm gravitating more towards Awana than Ranhill. tho' Ranhill is offering more, monetary wise, I feel that my heart leans more towards Genting. It's a juggling act between monetary gain and work pressure and job scope. Less pay..maybe with less pressure with a good surrounding resort-like environment or higher pay with definate higher stress in a busy city environment (Jln Tun Razak...Jln Ampang). Hmmmm...choices choices choices....

Blog later....as usual..malaslahhhh

Grains of sand....

2008-04-29T03:23:00.000-07:00

Ya Allah...apa telah aku lakukan....aku akan sekali lagi mengecewakan harapan seorang wanita...history is about to repeat itself again. Why can't I learn from my mistakes...why do i choose the same kind of people who will love me but at the same time hurt me? I try so hard for love but in the end is all for naught? Believe me, this hurts me as much as it hurts the other party. Is it fair for me to carry on just to fulfil my promises? Can a relationship be based on guilt while the love has gone from me? Do I again hurt myself to make other people happy...patutkah our relationship sehingga rumahtangga? Takkan dah beranak pinak baru nak terasa unhappy n find someone else? I think its better to be cruel now than later...walaupun perhubungan ni dah last almost 2 years...I think I have reached the end of my rope. Call me a jerk...call me whutever...I think its time to stop hurting other people and to stop pretending feeling things i don't feel......Dear please forgive me...jodoh kita sampai di sini......

Everybody Hurts...Sometimes......

2008-04-28T02:10:00.000-07:00

Tonite...I question myself...do I go on...do i keep on trying.....does it still feel the same...has all the love been replaced by hurt. Why do I feel this way? Why do I put myself in situations where I know I'll get hurt....where I know some one else will also get hurt. Is Love worth all this hurt? Why do we seek love only to find it a faded piece of linen at the end of the rainbow. Why must love be a tapestry of thorns and razors when at first it was a bed of roses. Why is it so hard to love someone...unconditionally. Why can't love be a straight road to heaven rather than a sick and twisted pathway to hell.

When love is lost...can it ever be recovered? Bila benci beraja di hati...kemanakah cinta telah berlari?Adakah cinta yang bersemi kini menjadi racun di hati....do i dare to expect someone else to love me when I myself have hurt the one I loved? Is there a big crash waiting for me round the bend...punishment and payment in kind for the deeds I have done. Do onto others as U would others onto you......Karma is a Bie-yatch.....

The one with the Transformers

2007-09-17T19:02:00.000-07:00

As I write this, Transformers has been transforming cinemas for about 60+ days (or more??) now. Those who have seen it probably understands what the hype is all about, especially those who are in my age group, 25-30 years old. We grew up watching the endless battle between Megatron and Optimus Prime…and running around the neighbourhood yelling “Autobots…transform and roll out!”. How many of us cried when Optimus died during the cartoon version of the transformers movie? ( Yes kiddies….some else did make a movie about the transformers before Michael Bay). How many still remember the immortal lines uttered by Prime…“One shall rise…one shall fall”? Or the heartfelt confession by Ultra Magnus “ But Prime…I’m a soldier not a leader” when the matrix of leadership was passed to him. I personally can still feel the elation I felt at the climax of the movie when Hot Rod @ Rodimus Prime activated the Matrix (of Leadership…not Neo)…. “ Light our darkest hour…” ( cue background music… “you’ve got the heart…you’ve got the power”).

I admit I was initially very reluctant to watch the movie…the fact that Bumblebee became a Camarro (blatant brand placement there..bah!), and Megatron became some kinda of futuristic porcupine lookalike was a real turn-off. I only watched it at the cinemas in the 1^st week of August ( the fact that I went to the cinemas 3 times and tickets were sold out did also play a part in the delay…hehheheheh). I was blew away by it and I never regretted paying the 11 bucks. Hats off to Michael Bay for an excellent job well done! He managed to turn Starscream into a wedge-shaped thingie (and a cool one at that) without being decapitated by a crazed fan.

The Transformers craze has also spawned an intense demand for Transformers toys. Last weekend I went around KL with my cousin and her husband to look for transformers toys. My cousin’s (Lyda) hubby (Eri) has been transformed into a transformers fanatic who can’t resist anything with the transformers logo. He probably has most, if not all, of the transformers movie toys but he is constantly adding to his collection. I think we probably went to all of the Toys’r’us in KL and there were no more stocks of Transformers tys at all of them! Stocks which arrive early in the morning were sold out by the afternoon with some customers buying up to 4 copies of the same toy. Wow…this reminds me of the Tickle-Me Elmo phenomenon in the US. Specialty and collectors shops have already started to cash in on this craze by reselling at a premium price. For example, an Ultimate Bumblebee which originally sold at RM350 was being sold at RM700 by a collectors shop in MidValley Megamall. The performance of the toys have shamed some of the leading blue chip stocks! Maybe I should start a secondary market for these toys. I bet I could make a killing…hmmm….

Got an SMS from Eri last nite...seems that new stocks of Transformers will be arriving at Toys-r-us on Saturday. Oh boy...here we go again....

"More Than Meets the Eye"

The one with Ion's wedding

2007-09-17T19:00:00.000-07:00

Finally got around to do a new post. Past few weeks was busy as usual...went to Kuala Terengganu for another round of ECE training. This time the venue was at Grand Continental hotel. Grand CON is the most appropriate name all right. Venue wise...the room was small and there were 4 pillars blocking the view...had a big headache trying to get the room properly arranged. SNAFUs also caused some headaches..the biggest one being that the CD pack with all the songs and video clips went missing...so went around K.Terengganu like a headless chicken trying to find replacements...tak jumpa pun. All in all, we managed to scrape by. Bought some keropok lekor, ikan masin and keropok segera. I am ashamed to say that I contributed to the extinction of the leatherback turtles by buying some telur penyu, tapi orang dah kirim...beli jerlah. I know it's a lame excuse.....

"When the buying stops...the killings can too"

Also went to my schoolmate's wedding. Had a great time meeting old school chums...some whom I haven't met in 10 years. All of us were born in the year 1980...the year of the monkey, according to the Chinese calendar. So you know how it is when you get a group of monkeys together...havoc and chaos were on the menu. It was good to see that everyone still had their old sense of humour and we were able to joke like old times.

" May old acquaintances never be forgotten..."

" Monkeys doing what they do best..."

At the moment I am involved with setting the groundwork for a new SBU by RRC called AXL (talk about acronym overload). AXL is actually the Asian Xperiential Learning Hub which specialises in (what else?) experiential learning programs for corporations. Last week I managed to put the finishing touches on the mini brochure for AXL. I am quite pleased with the design and am currently waiting with for the arrival of the finished product. Design and printing work was done by En. Zahirudin Rosnan of Creative and Communication House. This is the JPEG of the brochure...comments anyone?

....Front.....

Dat's all for now...running out of ideas here...till next time....

"If you perceive that there are four possible ways in which a procedure can go wrong, and circumvent these, then a fifth way, unprepared for, will promptly develop"

AXL...the Asian Xperiential Learning Hub

2007-09-17T18:59:00.000-07:00

This week is gonna be a tiring week for me. Have to work on Sunday as there's another ECE training for Maybank...this time at Palm Garden Hotel Putrajaya. Hopefully there's no dinner at the ballroom on Saturday as I plan to do the setting up there at night. Tp kalo ada bagus jugak as I RRC said I can get a room there...setup after midnite n terus tido..at least I don't have to rush on Sunday.We'll see how it goes as I can only get a confirmation from the hotel tomorrow after lunch.

Got a new project from the boss. I have to supervise the creation of the mini brochure for the Asian Experiential Learning Hub (AXL). Kinda excited about the project. This is the first time I am getting involved with this kind of thing...and the boss has given me full authority to shape the brochure as I see fit. Man...this is soooo cool. On the flip side...I guess I get full blame if it turns out to be a dud. Hehheheheheh...but of course it won't happen! I think that I am going to be very actively involved in the AXL. AXL is actually a new initiative by RRC to create a learning center based on experiential learning principles. It will be based in KL but will have tie-ups and affiliations with most of the premier resorts in Malaysia like Awana Kijal. The project manager / head honcho for this will be Ellis, my colleague. As she does not have any experience in outdoors activities, the boss thinks that I should back her up in this. Ultimately if AXL rolls out with good performance...Ellis will be in charge of marketing and I will be in charge of operations. But this is going to be a bit far off in the future...at the moment I want to make sure that I do an excellent job with the brochures! Rah Rah Rah! Pray for my success!

That's all folks! Love, peace and chicken grease!

Life's a journey.....

2007-09-17T18:57:00.000-07:00

August is here...which means that I have been with RRC for almost 1 month...1st paycheck pun dah dpt.Alhamdullilah, I have been slowly adapting to the changes in the new job. RRC is definately 180 degrees different from ITD....Although RRC is a smaller company than ITD, RRC is more professional and the work atmosphere is more open and friendly. All in all I would say that I am enjoying my time here. I was thinking about all the events that have led me to this current reality that I am inhabiting and I believe that I would not change even one thing if I had to do it all over again. Although it hasn't been smooth sailing all of the time....I am thankful for the sweet memories that I have experienced. I truly believe that these sweet memories would not be possible without the heartaches that I experienced. All the problems that I encountered have made me a better man...stronger and more resilient in facing the challenges in life. I would like to share an excerp from an article that I found while trawling the Net..it's really great and it really motivational:

Life is a journey filled with lessons, hardships, heartaches, joys, celebrations and special moments that will ultimately lead us to our destination, our purpose in life. The road will not always be smooth; in fact, throughout our travels, we will encounter many challenges.

Some of these challenges will test our courage, strengths, weaknesses, and faith. Along the way, we may stumble upon obstacles that will come between the paths that we are destined to take. In order to follow the right path, we must overcome these obstacles. Sometimes these obstacles are really blessings in disguise, only we don't realize that at the time.

Along our journey we will be confronted with many situations, some will be filled with joy, and some will be filled with heartache. How we react to what we are faced with determines what kind of outcome the rest of our journey through life will be like.

When things don't always go our way, we have two choices in dealing with the situations. We can focus on the fact that things didn't go how we had hoped they would and let life pass us by, or two, we can make the best out of the situation and know that these are only temporary setbacks and find the lessons that are to be learned.

Time stops for no one, and if we allow ourselves to focus on the negative we might miss out on some really amazing things that life has to offer. We can't go back to the past, we can only take the lessons that we have learned and the experiences that we have gained from it and move on. It is because of the heartaches, as well as the hardships, that in the end help to make us a stronger person.

The people that we meet on our journey, are people that we are destined to meet. Everybody comes into our lives for some reason or another and we don't always know their purpose until it is too late. They all play some kind of role. Some may stay for a lifetime; others may only stay for a short while.

It is often the people who stay for only a short time that end up making a lasting impression not only in our lives, but in our hearts as well. Although we may not realize it at the time, they will make a difference and change our lives in a way we never could imagine. To think that one person can have such a profound affect on your life forever is truly a blessing. It is because of these encounters that we learn some of life's best lessons and sometimes we even learn a little bit about ourselves.

People will come and go into our lives quickly, but sometimes we are lucky to meet that one special person that will stay in our hearts forever no matter what. Even though we may not always end up being with that person and they may not always stay in our life for as long as we like, the lessons that we have learned from them and the experiences that we have gained from meeting that person, will stay with us forever.

It's these things that will give us strength to continue on with our journey. We know that we can always look back on those times of our past and know that because of that one individual, we are who we are and we can remember the wonderful moments that we have shared with that person.

Memories are priceless treasures that we can cherish forever in our hearts. They also enables us to continue on with our journey for whatever life has in store for us. Sometimes all it takes is one special person to help us look inside ourselves and find a whole different person that we never knew existed. Our eyes are suddenly opened to a world we never knew existed- a world where time is so precious and moments never seem to last long enough.

Throughout this adventure, people will give you advice and insights on how to live your life but when it all comes down to it, you must always do what you feel is right. Always follow your heart, and most importantly never have any regrets. Don't hold anything back. Say what you want to say, and do what you want to do, because sometimes we don't get a second chance to say or do what we should have the first time around.

It is often said that what doesn't kill you will make you stronger. It all depends on how one defines the word "strong" It can have different meanings to different people. In this sense, "stronger" means looking back at the person you were and comparing it to the person you have become today. It also means looking deep into your soul and realizing that the person you are today couldn't exist if it weren't for the things that have happened in the past or for the people that you have met. Everything that happens in our life happens for a reason and sometimes that means we must face heartaches in order to experience joy.

The one about the new job

2007-09-17T18:55:00.002-07:00

it's been about 2 weeks since I started this new job..Alhamdulillah so far things are going quite smoothly. Last week I was outstation to Kota Bharu, Kelantan and it was quite tiring, partly because we travelled by coach. The trip was around 7 hours plus and man was my butt numb! Bertolak from Plaza Damas at about 1200hrs and arrived in KB at about 8+pm. I was travelling with Vicky (AV guy) and 4 dancers for the program. We took the Raub road. Along the way we stopped at Sempalit to buy some groundnuts..they were excellent!!! Regretted not buying more (I bought 4 packets at RM2.50 each)!!. Anyone passing by there, get some more for me please! I liked the salty ones, cap beruang kembar..Heheheheh.

When we reached KB, we checked into the Hotel (Grand Riverview) and after a quick shower proceeded to the venue, Dewan Puteri Sa'dong. As we had arrived in KB a bit late...most of the banquet staff had already left for the day so we had no one to help us set up. Luckily the tech maintainance guys were still around, so we had help in setting up the AV.Customer service really sucked there. The tech guys were very helpful..but the contact person, Junaidah from sales, was nowhere to be seen. When I called her handphone, she never picked up. Shame on you! The worst thing was that she never even once showed up during the whole event.What the...???

We managed to set up everything fine...but i was sweating like crazy as the AC was not on! What the...?? again! Spoke to the Manager on Duty and he said that they can only turn on the AC for rehearsals. Triple What the...??! Dahla never provided any water for us..I mean it's just courteous to provide at least a few bottles of mineral water...takkan berkira sangat kot??? AC pun berkira...orang berpeluh-peluh setup...air pun tak boleh bagi ke abe? Managed to finish setting up at about 2300hrs++. Went to the 7eleven to grab a bottle of mineral water and 100+ with Vicky. Lepas tu lepak2 jap kat luar dgn Vicky. Went to sleep at about 1230 I think.

20.07.2007, Friday - Nice date huh? Had an early start today...had breakfast at 0700 and was in the hall at 0730. Was running around sorting out some last minute things and also trying to get the garlands and welcome drinks ready for the participants. Tried to get in touch with the Banquet Manager and surprise, surprise....he was out utk minum. Hai, macam keje gomen la pulak. Tried to get in touch with Junaidah, same thing..out for drinks and never answered her handphone. Baik buang masuk Sungai Kelantan jerla henpon tu kak!

Banquet staff were not aware of our requirements and the captain was nowhere in sight. Finally the AM arrived wearing the sourest expression that you have ever seen, the kind of look that could turn the sweetest orange into a lemon! I kid you not. It was as if my presence there was a great inconvenience to him. Mintak ampunla tengku yer...ampun beribu-ribu ampun, sembah patik harap diampun!Hah! After explaining about what was required, sampai berbuih-buih mulut....managed to get what I wanted...tapi punyala susah..macam nak drag keldai gi mandi!

BTW, the program is the Enriching Customer Experience training for Maybank. It was a blast..lotsa dancing n fun activities. I can safely say that everyone had fun and thoroughly enjoyed themselves. Always thought that Kelantanese were very reserved and conservative...boy was I ever wrong. Rohn (my boss!cum trainer) said that these were the noisiest and rowdiest bunch ever and I concur! During the dancing sessions some of them really went all out...bayangkanla during the bollywood session ada sorang mamat ni siap berguling2 atas lantai! Giler tak giler....wish I could upload some pics..but Vicky misplaced my 1G SD n the card reader. Demmit! better get me a new one if u lost it bro!

Had lunch at the hotel...and got a BIG surprise at the banquet when I found a dem cockroach in my rice!! BIG What the..???!!!! This hotel was supposed to be a 4 star hotel....and this is what we get? i really question the hygiene of this hotel. Dahla lepas komplen no action was taken. After I showed the cockroach the waitress simply took it away and left me at the table! ni apology or anything! There was also no attempt to check the food at the buffet line to see if there were anymore siblings to the one i found in my rice! Teruk giler....hygiene tahap golden Box! ;) To make it worse, the dya before my colleague, Mimi, who was also there to oversee, found a fly in her food while eating at the same place! When she complained about it, the hotel people had the cheek to ask her if the fly was there in the beginning or had it just landed in her plate! -250 points for customer service! Okla, I think dat's enuff about the terrible customer svc at GRAND RIVERVIEW Hotel, Kelantan. I think you guys get the picture, right? So, if you get there and get a little extra protein in your meals, don't say I didn't tell you so. The service wasn't all bad however, as i said before the techs gave excellent service and so did the front office staff. Kudos to them!

Program ended at 1900hrs...quite tired at this point. Went to have a quick shower and checked out. Had dinner at Yati Ayam Percik..it was yummy though kinda sweet for my taste. Guess that is normal for a Kelantanese dish huh? The Gulai Ayam Kawah was delicious and not too sweet. Thumbs up! The price for 4 people? RM34 only...relatively cheap compared to KL prices. We had 4 servings of Ayam Percik, gulai ayam kawah, vegetables and some dessert. Pushed off from Kuantan at about 2130hrs. It didn't take long for me to drift off to slumberland....woke up a few times and stopped twice for bio-break and coffee break along the way. We arrived at Plaza Damas at about 0500 hrs. Penat giler weh!

Whew...that's the end of a very long update folks! Still haven't talked about the teambuilding and induction program I did for the UITM students of HCoy company. Talk bout it in a post dated entry. Till then...love, peace and chicken grease!

Level 9 completed. Welcome to level 10.

Sometimes good things come suddenly and totally unexpected. Today i went for an interview....alhamdulillah it went very well. I have been quite blessed in the interview part of life...selama ni I have yet to fail any interview that I have gone through (Kawan2 Terendak ingt lagi dak mock interview kat PSP?Heheheheh), syukur. Now it is up to me samada nak accept or not. Skarang ni just tinggal dok negotiate about the salary. Of course kena up sketla kan. It's not a quantum leap from my current salary but it will allow me some breathing space and to afford my new car ;P.

Have made up my mind...it's gonna be the waja. Should get it soon. Well, time to say goodbye to my old ride, Mr.PFB. It has been good knowing and owning you sir....you have given me service above and beyond the call of duty...and it is with a sad heart that I will be handing you over to someone else. We have certainly shared our ups and downs, tears and laughter. You have rarely given me problem (except once or twice) but all good things have to come to an end. It is time for me to move on to a bigger ride. We will celebrate our relationship with a glorious road trip before we say sad partings. I salute you sir and may you keep on rolling for many more years to come! You have been a true comrade indeed.

Which is more than I can say for some friends. Sometimes it is sad when you have friends who will only remember you in bad times....when they are happy, even an SMS is hard to come by. When the thunderclouds start rolling you can't stop getting calls from the person! It's hard for me to stop caring for my pals eventhough it hurts when they do this to me. It kills me to see anyone in pain or trouble...i reall feel like a piece of turd if I don't do anything to help. Well, God is great....I'm sure my reward is somewhere.

Month of May

2007-05-15T00:32:00.000-07:00

Hmm….it’s been a really busy week for me. There’s sooooo many trainings to get ready for. For June I have 40 training days (which means that there will be at least 2-3 trainings going on each day). I am really gonna be dead tired at the end of this month. Dahla next month I have my Capital Markets and Investment exam coming up. Die la like this. Anyway I will be taking about 7days 0ff in order to get ready for the exam. Wish me luck!

I managed to catch Spidey 3 at the cinemas on Saturday. Went with my old secondary school buddies (MRSM Terendak) Aweng and Payat. We had to watch the 1.55am show as a certain Mr Irman Ariff decided to take a nap and did not answer the phone until abt 11pm. Most of the tix were sold out at that time so had to catch the last show. Giler punyer ngantok weh! I fell asleep 4 a few seconds a few times. Hehehhehe…that is not saying that the show was boring…but when the sandman calls it’s hard to resist! Anyways I thought it was over-rated and not as good as the 2nd one. Don’t get me wrong..it was a good movie and highly entertaining…but there’s a part of me that feels that the producers crammed too much things into the movie. Venom is a major player in the spidey universe and I think that the whole movie should have been about him without diverging into the Sandman sub-plot (BTW Sandman was not the person who killed uncle Ben) in the Comic universe (Yeah yeah….i’m a fanboy). Anyway I would give it 3 out of 5.

Lotsa new cool movies coming out to look forward to. There’s Transformers, Shrek 3, Pirates of the Caribbean 3, Fantastic 4 (the rise of the Silver Surfer..Weaahooo!!),Zombi Kampung Pisang, Pochong 2 (Didn’t even know about the 1st one). Great Movies (except the final 2..duhhh!). Man I am going to be soooo broke this month! Demit!

I am in car hunting mode. Becoz I am not Bill Gates or the Donald…my choices are kind of limited. Have narrowed down my choices though….and here are the nominees..drum roll please……….

1) 1 year old waja
2) new myvi (1.3 SX/SXi)
3) new viva (1.0 SXi/EZi)
4) new kenari/athos
5) new savvy

Watch this space for further announcements!

Addendum: Went to see the new viva yesterday after work. Looks kinda good though I prefer the Myvi’s front end. Interior seems good though as usual plastic-y. The CD player seems like a no brand job which is disappointing ( I could be mistaken tho). There’s no test drive to be had (disappointing again). The salesman told me that we can only do a test drive once we have placed a booking. It kinda defeats the idea of having test drives don’t it? Oh well…guess it makes sense in somekinda way to someone.

Later kittens…this cat’s out to prowl!

Hmm....kinda forgot about this blog....which explains the 2005 last posting! Lotsa things have happened between then and now.....

1) changed jobs about 3 times.... (might hop to another job soon)
2) moved from Penang to Langkawi and now in KL (job related)
3) loved and lost love countless times
4) changed mode of transport from bike to car
5) changed car 2 times (probably going to change car again in a few months)

Well one thing which has been certain in my life is change! I won't dwell much on wat has happened in the past...let the past be history. Time to live in the present.....
