A Tragedy That Re-Connect Us

2011-12-29T09:48:00.000-08:00

The passing of our dear friend is a tragedy...unexpected events that bring us together again...especially the ones who has been through thick and thin during 6 month course...which in the first place has brought us together 3 years ago ...

After a tearful weekend last week...we decided to held tahlil for arwah...with Ms Hayati as the 'main' head...followed by the fierce but manja Rambina...the full of smiles Kuntum...used to be one of us but now Mr Lawyer...the big sister of nasional kasel...and the klate gurl Ned...we done all the arrangement via bbm...i can say that my blekberi battery was totally exhausted for these past few days...hahaha...at the same time Mr Deham...Dindang...Appleryn and some others do help out to ensure the event went well...

We sent out invitations via fesbuk...we made calls...sent emels...done the rsvp...with the exception of the non muslim and those who are out of town...we were expecting 80 people to show up...alhamdulillah...everything went well...the event went on smoothly led by my ex-room mate during the 6 months course...Ustaz Azraai...

We haven't had any sort of gathering in a big scale such as this informally...after three years...there's so many differences...a lot has married and have kids...some has transferred to another office...most of us gained weight (which was not applicable to Ms Hayati...at all)...hahaha...

We done our prayers...praying for arwah's wellbeing...at the same time praying for the baby's health...and after that...we just hang out and just talk...about everything and anything...it does feel great to meet again some of them which hasn't been on the radar since the 6 months course ended 3 years ago...

Hence comes the saying...ada hikmah di sebalik setiap kejadian...rahsia itu hanya Allah yang tahu...and for this matter...i can say that...this tragedy reconnect us...in a very good way...and it also told us something...that the bond we made 3 years ago...has no time limit...it is a bond for a lifetime...this brotherhood/ sisterhood will never expires...

Bitter Ending For 2012

2011-12-25T16:02:00.000-08:00

24 December 2011...

Morning

I was on a road trip with my friends down south when i first been notified with the news...one of our dear friend in the service had complications during childbirth and was fighting for her life...immediately i made a quick prayer that she will recovers and be able to see her son who was also in a critical condition...she lost too much blood and her blood type was a very rare type indeed...B -ve...upon hearing the news...immediately most of us flooded our walls asking help from our fb-friends to donor some blood in order to help her...she gave birth in a private clinic/ hospital and when the complications arose she was immediately transferred to the government hospital...

Afternoon

Got some updates from our friends via fb that she was stable...20 packets of blood had been used to save her life...and i being one of the many who prayed for her recovery felt relief to hear that...hopefully that she can wake up from this...

Evening

Suddenly got some updates that her conditions is worsening...she was totally on life support system and the family members are called in by the doctor...i watched too many medical drama so i know that when this happens it usually won't end up pretty...

25 December 2011...

Midnite/ Early Morning

I was not feeling in the festive season...not feeling great about going on having fun while out there one of my friend was desperately fighting for her life...so i told the roadtrip gang about it...they fully understands...i drove Ady's car back to Putrajaya...my blekberi keeps gettin updates from friends who had been updating all of us with her progress...i just passed Melaka when i picked up my blekberi and read a simple bbm message from Aina...three words but enough to make my mind went blank... Noria dah xde...one of our dear friend had been invited by Allah to go and meet our Maker...

Reached home...freshen up...then went to the ERL to wait for Aina, Idham, Said and Ned...then off to LCCT to book the first flight out to Kota Bharu...untuk menunaikan hak terakhir sebagai seorang rakan...we missed the earliest flight...so we waited for the next flight at 935am...Faryna joined us while we were waiting for our flight...

Reached KB...we were picked up by Ned's father...i also asked help from my friend, Zarir...we went to her home somewhere in PCB...they are getting ready to bathe and kafan...i saw her husband who is also a good friend of us...Akram...walking down the road...just got back from the hospital to see the baby...he looked tired...exhausted...defeated...i can't imagine how it feels like to be in his shoes...i can still remember how excited he was when he got married last year that the very next day he texted me saying ~Kahwin best Mal...lagi best dari traveling...hahaha~ and i can feel his excitement of being a father to be...every time i went out of the country...he never fail to ask me to search for something baby-related...supposedly...today should be the day of joy for both Akram and Noria...but Allah has better plans for her...and also for him...who are we to question that...words of comfort wouldn't be enough...but we have to move on with our life...

I can't help it when i saw jenazah arwah...kaku terbaring...sebak terasa...

Afternoon

Arwah was buried at the nearby mosque...selesai sembahyangkan arwah...jenazah arwah diangkat untuk dimasukkan ke liang lahat...where she lies for eternity...her mom was terribly crushed...the look on her mom's face tells everything that can't be put into words...its normal for the children to bury their parents...but its devastating when the other way around happened...

Evening

The rest of the gang booked 5pm flight back to KL...i redeem points for my flight...750pm...during the flight back i can't help thinking about it...about life...we were given chance by the almighty to live our life in this world...make plans...and keep on living with hope that we will die of the old age...where we will be able to see ourself getting married...have children...be successful in our life...being the pride and joy of our parents...then being able to live our life to the fullest till the day we are ready to meet the almighty...but its just us...only the almighty knows better...

I read somewhere that when we were sent into this world...ada 4 ketetapan yang mengiringi hidup kita...pertama...hidup dan ajal...kedua...rezeki...ketiga...jodoh...dan keempat...qada' dan qadar...ermmmm...it made me reviewed back the life that i have lead till today...

Life is life...yang masih hidup boleh mendoakan yang telah meninggalkan kita...dan kita yang masih hidup boleh meneruskan kehidupan dengan harapan semoga kita ditempatkan bersama orang-orang terpilih disisiNya kelak...insya allah...

Konsep bangunan dia memang sama cam yang kat Rinku and Kobe Sanda itu...yang kat JPO nieh plak ada ler 80++ kedai pelbagai jenama...international mahupun local...so semalam aku dengan si zaza and hubby dia pon buat la 'lawatan tapak'...walaupun ini otlet terletak out of nowhere...keliling dia memang tempat jin bertendang...jauh gak ler dari JB itu...tapi agak dekat dengan airport...tapi ramai gilosss weih orang pi itu otlet...pi kerumun cam tak pernah tengok supermarket...opppsss...hahaha...nak masuk parking pon satu hal dah...jenuh mencari parking...dah dapat parking plak...bermula ler sesi 'catwalking' window-window kat otlet tuh...

Memula first skali nampak terus itu Zegna Outlet Store...storewide 50% uolssss...memang ler dengar cam best...tapi kalau sapa yang ala ala sengkek cam aku...50% dia pon still kena pikiaq panjang nak beli ke tak...sebab rega semua main ribu riban weih...after 50% pon still ribu riban...nak ajer aku beli suit dia sepasang...yang paling murah pon dalam RM2,400...lepas diskon adalah RM1,200...dan berpegang pada 'a man need to have a good suit in his closet'...aku pun saja ajer ler nak tengok ada saiz ker tak...cessss sungguh...tiada saiz aku...demmm...nak button pon tak bley kot...okay nextttttt...

Keluaq ajer pintu nampak orang bratoq panjang nak masuk Burberry...pastu aku tengok yang keluaq plak mesti ada aje benda yang depa beli...tapi tak sanggup den nak bratoq weih...baik layan tempat lain dulu...Michael Kors plak semua pon barang pompuan ajer...siap buat banner bebesor lagi...henbeg rega RM2,400 jadi RM999...spesel diskon...perghhhh...pastu ada Ferragamo Company store depan itu MK...masuk ajer...aku terus nampak itu kasut yang sangat chantekkkk hokey...boleh buat gi kerja...tengok harga...wahhhhhh...RM700??? for Ferragamo yang main harga RM1,000 ke atas...itu sangat berbaloi hokey...hampir terbabas di situ untuk membeli...tapi tenangkan diri sekejap...cakap sama diri sendiri ~tahun depan aku mau gi europe, tahun depan aku mau gi europe, tahun depan aku mau gi europe~ dengan perlahan letak balik itu kasut ke rak...cessss...

Jalan dua tiga langkah nampak la lagi orang bratuq...kali ni nak masuk itu Coach Outlet plak...demmmm...takpelah...jalan dulu...ingat nak beli beg keja Coach...sebab ada Coach Mens kat situ...tapi next dulu lah...masuk plak Geox...tapi kasut yang aku suka tiada kaler and size...okay next...pergi plak masuk Pedro...ada kasut tuh satu RM99...tapi biler aku masuk ajer kaki...jalan tak selesa...so pass...next...Braun Buffel dengan Tommy tak buka lagi kedai...demmm...pastu gi ler jalan lagi sampai ke hujung...ada la kedai Vincci dengan Padini...penuh giler orang...sesak sangat...takmolah masuk...so aku pon naik atas...

Sampai ajer kat atas...terus nampak lagi orang bratoq nak masuk itu Nike...waktu kat Rinku dulu aku masuk itu Nike tangan kosong...kuaq dengan 4 pasang kasut...owh tidakkk...harus dijauhkan...terus gi kedai Clarks...mak aih...itu kedai Clarks macam kena tsunami daaaa...kasut kat atas rak dia banyak dah takder...kedai pon penuh dengna orang...ada satu kasut kerja Clarks tu yang aku tau memang harga dia RM350...kat itu kedai tinggal RM220...terusss la aku pegang itu kasut pergi kat salesgirl dia tanya saiz...turns out tinggal last pair...happens to be aku punya saiz...tapi aku tengok kasut tu memang cam dah kena tsunami...habis calar balar...so of coz la tak jadi amik...owh...keciwa lagi...keluar ajer Clarks terus masuk Levi's plak...ini plak memang bikin aku panassss ajer...boleh kata majoriti saiz suar jeans dia 31 dan ke bawah...demmm...kompem aku nak pakai masuk paha pon tak moattt kottttt...keluaq la lagi...pi Timberland plak...kasut kerja tu memang aku tau harga dia RM400 sebab baru lepas tengok dengan Zaimee and Tina kat Lot 10...kat situ RM299...tapi bila tanya lagi skali...tiada saiz jua...hampeh...demittt...

Jalan skit...ada Lacoste...itu kasut manyak cunnnn...RM200...tapi lagi skali bila tanya saiz...cuma ada itu ajer saiz paling besaq...aku gagahkan jua masuk ke kaki...tapi memang serious aku berdiri ajer pon rasa sendat kat kaki...apakahhhh...ada plak DKNY...storewide 50% juga...tapi semua pon barang pompuan...mau ajer aku beli satu henbeg bagi kat sesapa sebab aku udah tensen sebab tak beli aper aper lagi...tapi pikir balik...ermmm...aku nak bagi kat sapa? tak jadi beli...sebelah tu CK pon sama gak...aishhhh...last skali aku masuk itu kedai Adidas...sajer jer le window...memang harga kasut dia murah dalam RM30~RM60 compared to the same shoes kat Al Ikhsan...tapi takperlah...aku nak cari kasut kerja...

Akhirnya aku keluaq jua dari itu JPO tanpa membeli apa apa...aishhhh...tapi bila fikirkan balik...memang tujuan aku mau window ajer kan....so memang hasilnya window jer ler...selamat la duit...tapi itu ati manyak sakit woooo...sebab semua benda yang aku mau semuanya itu pon tiada saiz...demmm...tapi takper...next time ada lagi...mau tunggu itu Braun Buffel buka dulu then aku gi skali lagi...mau tengok kot kot ler ada rezeki...hahaha...whatever it is...ini otlet memang berbaloi la nak gi...tapi maybe ada yang keciwa and kata barang dia semua tak best la...old season la...and what not...aperkah...hello...memang konsep outlet adalah itu macam la ngok...new arrival masuk boutique la budusss...outlet bukan klcc nor pavilion...dah nama pon outlet...of coz la barang pon limited to certain thing ajer...aishhhh...

Review - Ombak Rindu

2011-12-07T07:06:00.000-08:00

Kawan aku cakap tak jantan arrr tengok ini filem...okay fyneeeee...whatever...tapi aku nak tengok gak...tak kesah lah...filem ni memang adaptasi novel yang gilos lama sudeh...waktu aku kat uni lagi...okay la...aku ngaku aku pernah baca ini novel...layannnn...pastu bila jadi filem...of koz la aku mau tengok...

The rule of the thumb when watching a movie adapted from a book is that...kena tengok movie tu as a stand alone movie...not based on a novel...kalau tak memang abis la melopong sana sini dok compared apa yang baca dalam buku and apa yang ada kat silverscreen la kan...kompem tak enjoy...

Tengok senarai pelakon filem serius beb...semua pon the 'current in thing'...the three main leads are Aaron Aziz...Maya Karin...Lisa Surihani...aku memang bagi starssss la kat itu pelakon...every single one of them managed to carry out their characters...especially Lisa la...sebelum ni dok tengok dia berlakon watak comel comel ajer...tapi kali ni jadi ala ala pompuan yang ada obsessive compulsive disorder...nak jugak walaupun orang taknak...siap main ugut lagi...its all with the eye...demmm...takot la plak aku nengok...scary weih kalau terikat sudeh...kompem tak bley lari...

Anyway...movie dia memang ada agak noticeable adjustments here and there...from start to finish...ada gak characters yang ada dalam novel but not in the movie...and watak si Mail itu memang aku rasa cam takder dalam novel version...tapi memang sangat la tertekan tengok ini movie sebab there will be tears in every 10 mins thruout the movie...semua main leads ada diorang punya fair share of tears shed...

The movie started of with Ustazah Izzah (Maya Karin)...kelass ko Maya Karin jadi ustazah ngajar budak ngaji...kena jual dengan pakcik dia kat bapak ayam mana ntah...pastu si Hariz tu dot dot dot itu ustazah waktu ustazah tengah high...sedar sedar dah tak V sudeh...then si Hariz (Aaron Aziz) beli plak dengan 3x ganda...perghhh...kelasss ko Aaron...pastu si Hariz tu letak la ustazah kat satu rumah...siap cakap lagi...kalau dia mau dot dot dot...ustazah tu kena bagi dengan no question asked...of kos la si Izzah ni being an ustazah...dia merayu rayu kalau mau dot dot dot...kena kawin dulu...tak kesah la...tak tuntut hak isteri...janji kawin dulu...pastu ko nak ehem ehem dari pagi sampai malam pon tak kesah...mana la si Hariz tu mau kawin...tapi lepas si Hariz ni terdengar ustazah mengaji pada itu malam...terus bawak dia gi kawin kat selatan thai...

Pastu biasa la kan...dah dok ehem ehem...and then ustazah tu pon ngancam weih...harus la jatuh hati terussss...after series of events...si Hariz ni pon ngaku la yang dia itu sudah tangkap cintan sama itu ustazah...happy ending? owh noooo...long way to go weih...tetiba la plak long-time sweetheart si Hariz yakni si Mila (Lisa Surihani) balik dari US...terus mau kawin dengan si Hariz...Hariz plak cakap takmo...sebab dah syok kat orang lain...Mila of koz la won't take no for an answer...paksa gak si Hariz ni kawin...kawin la diorang...

Owh tak citer lagi pasal mak si Hariz tuh...Datuk Sufiah...dem gilosss biatch weih ini latuk...dia tak tau si Hariz dengan ustazah dah kawin...dia anggap si ustazah tu pompuan simpanan...ceh...so dia biaq pi dulu...sampai la satu masa tu si Hariz tu eksiden...koma plak tuh...and then patah kaki riuk bagai...terus la latuk amik kesempatan halaunya si ustazah dari rumah diorang...

Ustazah tu plak balik kampung...terjumpa la si Mail yang dok syok kat dia tuh...pastu kebetulan dapat plak la kerja kat KL...ikut la si ustazah balik KL...tumpang rumah pak dollah and mak jah...pastu apa lagi...itu latuk buat cerita palsu...kata itu ustazah curang...sekali si Hariz gi rumah pak dollah tu...terjumpa la si ustazah...sebab dia dah ingat yang memang ustazah sudah curang...apa lagi...molot tu pon tak bley kontrol...laser nak mampusssss (and its an excruciatingly painful scene to watch as words of insult ran like water during this particular scene)...terus kata mau gantung itu ustazah tak bertali...demmm weih...waktu time ni tengok itu ustazah punya reaction sangat la sentap...ustazah tu berlari lari la kejar itu Hariz pastu terjatuh (so cliche) and almost keguguran (owh lupa lak...ustazah dah preknen)...

Pak Dollah itu jadi hero of the day...sebab dia tak tahan sudeh...dia pon serang itu latuk sama Hariz...terus cakap kat itu latuk yang Hariz tu anak dia...dia bagi kat latuk sebab late hubbie latuk itu merayu rayu sebab latuk udah miscarriage...takut meroyan (and of one the most entertaining scene especially bila Pak Dollah mengajuk)...then itu Mila dengaq la rupanya ustazah la yang si Hariz tu dok gila bayang sangat...and of kos...Hariz pon menyesal...mau carik balik itu ustazah...

Ustazah sudah balik kampung...sambung balik ngajo bebudak ngaji...si Hariz tu carik sampai ke kampung...after ntah brapa lama mencari sebab no indication dia dok cari si ustazah pon...pastu si ustazah tu dah memang sangat la giler bayang dengan laki itu dengan senang ajer terima balik...perghhhh...senang siotttt...lepas kena maki hamun segala...senang betol la ini ustazah...ermmm...then itu Mila cari ustazah...sembang-sembang ala girl's talk gitu...then comes the most memorable quote for the movie (at least for me lah) ~ Redha Itu Ikhlas, Pasrah Itu Menyerah...then Mila mintak cerai...and Hariz itu pon live happily (tak tau ler ever after ke tak) dengan itu ustazah...The End...

That basically sums out the whole movie...kalau compared to the novel...memang ada lot of adjustment...kalau dalam novel...itu Izzah bukan ustazah...Hariz tu tak sempat nak dot dot si Izzah tu sebelum kawin...pastu ada a bit timeline before the ego crashed and dia ngaku dia syok kat itu Izzah...also in the book Izzah tu ada la gi belajar...amik diploma...and waktu dia belajar la ada laki syok kat si Izzah...pastu Izzah punya bff kat uni tu turns out to be Hariz punya stepsister...and on and on and on...kena sendiri baca baru tau the differences...

Overall...acting-wise memang first class...storyline pon mantap (kena tengok as a stand alone movie)...soundtrack pon sangat sesuai dengan mood penceritaan...lokasi pon menarik...tapi on the technical part...i have to say that i am a bit disappointed...cinematography was not that strong compared to filem Cun (the comparison comes because its from the same director)...filem editing plak ada yang memang fail on certain scene (tak sempat nak abis ayat dah tukar scene)...and also the timeline was not justified...sebab memang tak tau brapa lama the longing for each other goes on and all...except yang kata dah kawin 2 tahun waktu kantoi dengan itu Pak Dollah...kalau dia tunjuk timeline tu more appropriately (contohnya padi tu menguning ker haper ker yang nak tunjukkan masa berlalu)...memang akan nampak lebih gempak skit...

Pepehalpun...Maya Karin memang terbayek lah...sangat sesuai weih...nampak kampung abesss (at least pada aku la)...cuma slek skit kat certain dialog yang dia cakap pelat...Aaron Aziz memang suit the character perfectly...ari tu jadi Seth Tan gentle abesss...jadi Hariz tu pon mantap...Lisa came as a big surprise...memang watak dia nampak vulnerable but at the same time trying hard to stick to what she wants...Azizah Mahzan memang sangat suit itu biatch karakter...sangat kerek hokeh...rasa nak lempang upside down ajer...

All in all...the movie does live up to its hype...memang aku suka lah...abiesss la...romentik hopeless mode datang lagi...aiiii...

Had an ohsem weekend...

Had a rare opportunity to be one of the facilitators for the new intake in intura...along with aida misran from malaysia...ina akak rempit...cik hayati da finance gurl...cipun da perlis guy...veron da perlis gurl...adiputra nama bak aktor drama...pa'an sang urusetia...amzari ado teluk intan...akak malis si pramugari...and managed to be friends with hirda and shima whom i don't know before...and some others...

Cipun and i attended the assessment in this particular spot...so we were just reminiscing on the old times...while amzari was kinda surprised that we actually remember our assessment days...hahaha...

It was a rather eye-opening experience and a great one that is to be part of the team and to be exposed of how actually the selection process goes...

Its good to be on the other side of the fence...

I don't consider myself a shopaholics...

NO NO NO...

My only defence was that i spend my money wisely...

Buy things when they are SUPER SALE...

Never on NEW ARRIVAL...

Like today...

Spent my money on 6 pairs of shoes...

Can you imagine...

From the price of RM259. RM229. RM159 marked down to RM39.50!!!

Who can resists the temptation?

Of course i have to buy 6 pairs...

Travel Happy Visa Ad

I love the travel happy visa ad...

I think its just downright cool...

Then recently i just found out that the guy featured in the ad is Matt Harding...

Apparently he had been doing that crazy dance thingie way before the visa ad...

So visa actually got that idea from him to do that crazy dance around the world ad...

He really travelled around the world...

From one end to another...

I went to his website...

Read on his journals...

I read his entry about Malaysia...

And most of his entry about other countries...

His writings about the countries he has been...

Errrr...

He looks cool in the ad...

But so uncool with his writings...

Most recently i went to Phuket, Thailand...different environment...total leisure...

And of course...the visa advertisement kinda inspired my new set of travel photos...its all the 'travel without money' dance...kinda cool...and i can actually imagine that i am that guy in the advertisement...its seriously cool...

Yeah...it is my happiest moment...its all about travelling...hehehe...

Story Of Goldfish

2011-09-29T10:36:00.000-07:00

Goldfish is a term we used for someone equivalent to teacher's pet...

Some people are just naturally be one...

Some other are fighting others to be one...

There are even some who are jealous and irritated when they know that someone is a goldfish...

Bringing others down just to be one...

Its a bit pathetic and disturbing actually...

There are people who are dying to be a goldfish...

And there are people who doesn't want to be goldfish...

But still end up being one but because they deserve to be one...

Then the goldfish wannabes can't stand it...

Coz they want to be one...

Owh my...

Its felt as if watching 'Survivor'...

Its reality...

I need an escapism from all these...

I might just go to the beach...

Berangan-angan Mat Jenin

2011-09-25T10:26:00.000-07:00

I don't know how others cope with their stress...

As for me...aku suka ajer berangan-angan ala mat jenin...

Kalau stress kalu...aku terus ajer gugel tempat-tempat menarik...

Then find info on that particular place...

Pastu gi masuk airlines punya website...

Tengok harga tiket flight...pastu start buat route...then tengok connecting flight and fare...

Pastu tengok plak accomodations...check harga...start wat bajet...

Pastu enter la masuk dreamy mode...berangan terus nak pergi...hahaha...

And keep on berangan...

Pastu orang lain pon kata aku kuat berangan nak gi sana sini...

Well...at least this way aku somehow boleh just not to think about the thing that made me stress...

Berangan ajer ler...bak kata orang...

Aiiii...escapism from reality...

Menanti Cinta

2011-09-07T09:14:00.000-07:00

Owh noooo...jiwang mood strikes again...

Anyway its song by Kris Dayanti written by no other but the Indonesian musical genius Melly Goeslow...actually it was song taken from the movie soundtrack Ketika Cinta Bertasbih...then i downloaded the song...find the lyrics...owh yeah...jiwang karat mood...also mixed up with loser mode...and its 2009 song ye...hahaha...dah basi...tapi aku baru dengar...

Basically the song is all about cari jodoh...it doesn't have that comedic lyrics like the song by Wali...but the lyrics was meaningful enough...especially for those who are seriously pengen mau menikah tapi masih belum ketemu...nahhhh...amik ko...siap bahasa indonesia lagi nieh...

The song can be interpreted as a person who is tired of trying to find the soulmate and turn to god for everything that He has in store for the person...hanya padanya ku memohon or something and hanya Dia yang tahu...

So in the mood that i am in right now...aiseyyy...terus la kejiwangan campur keloseran...anyway...the lyrics really strikes to the chord...but maybe its just me in the mood that i am in right now...hehehe...

sejak lama aku berdiri
dalam sepinya rongga hati
tak satu pun burung
mampu menjawab

* hanya padaMu ku bertanya
lewat setiap sujudku ini
siapa kah nanti
cinta untukku

reff:
wahai penilai hati lihat batinku
nyaris bernanah karna luka tersayat
merana menantikan cinta dan kasih hidupku
rahasia itu hanya Kau yang tahu
namun aku tak mau jadi tuna cinta
tuntun hatiku dalam sabar menanti jodohku

repeat *
repeat reff

rahasia itu hanya Kau yang tahu
namun aku tak mau jadi tuna cinta
namun harus ku ikhlaskan nasib cintaku padaMu

20 August, After 4 Years.

2011-08-21T08:19:00.000-07:00

Diam tak diam it has been 4 years since we all enter the service...

Sesi taklimat pemagkuan potipor 2011

It started all the way in Terengganu...get together for the first time...getting to know each other...then we were posted to respective organizations...ada yang kat Putrajaya...ada yang kat KL...and some are posted to states...

Hari Wilayah Persekutuan 2010

From then on i got to know some of the people that has been my close friends until now...like Zaimee...siap aku jadi pengapit waktu dia kawin dulu...Fadly yang terlalu over peramah...Niha who turns out to be one of my very close buddies in the service eventho tak pernah bertegur sapa waktu two weeks in Terengganu...then arep...cher...fara...zetty...emmy jo...aina...fidie...deham...alin...lala...leen...azraai...and a few others...most of them i got to know post-two weeks in Terengganu...while we all are in Putrajaya...during the Ramadhan month...owh yeah...in 2007 Ramadhan was in September...

Convocation D.P.A 1.2008 di PICC in March 2009

Then some of us went for the six month course as our batch was split into two different session...among all that were close...only some of us went for the first session...but i endured the six month course and getting to know teddy...alia...k.ani...and some other colleagues from the earlier batch...a lot has happened during the six month course...some were not worth mentioning...but it also provide us a platform to get to know more brothers and sisters in the service...

Surrounded by the good friends from left Wani-Cher and now happily married Fara in March 2009

Ironically...the ones whom i was close with during the six months turns out so-so after the course finished...but the ones i barely talked to turns out to be close friends after the six month course...like ned...ina...ryn...hadi...yaya and wan (which i also be his pengapit waktu dia kawin)...mala whom blog i read regularly which also made us talk to each other eventho during the six month course i remember that we never had any sort of conversation...hahaha...kelakar plak rasanya...nazri that became the regular bowling mate at one point (sampai la aku dah maleh nak main boling)...through zaimee's marriage to tina...i got to know my current travel buddy jaja...and some others through out the friends to friends to friends...

One week army attachment with Alia and Ustaz Azraai in 2008

Then again...the ones that i originally met in Terengganu maintain to be my close buddies eventho we were separated...in the office...the likes of che bimb...zaza...mimym...has became the black-bookers whom we hang out and do an occasional 'knowledge sharing' with...then comes the new batch such as adi...linda latip...jepp...pipitt...amry...and few others who made my office hours seems so lively...hahaha...

In Kuching with Jimmy-Pidot-Mimym-Jepp November 2010

Then when i was sent for one month training in the land of the rising sun...i made more great friends like aida misran from malaysia...pa'an from jaypeeyayy...kui from kaypeetee...tinie from spa borneo...and of course taiko from nookliar which was not exactly from the same service but we get along famously...as well as other participants from other organizations...

In the land of the rising sun 2011

In term of service-wise...i was transferred four times since i entered the service...from Corporate And International Division to Finance Division...then transferred again to Human Resources Division to the current Economics Division...

Broga Hills 2010 with Ned-Hadi-Mala-Ina-Niha

All in all...it has been four years since it all started...and there's more years to come after this...a lot has happened in four years...banyak lagi benda yang bakal terjadi...but whatever it is...i do feel good as through it all...i made good friends...and continue to get to know more along the way...

The place where it all started...Kemaman 2007

To 2.2007...happy 4 years anniversary...may we all be blessed with good health and good service until the end of our term...amin...

Jalan Jalan Buka Posa 2011

2011-08-19T02:16:00.000-07:00

Alhamdulillah...so far so great lah this year...walaupun tak gi terawih kat masjid still buat kat rumah ajer...but from time to time gi gak terawih kat masjid...

Let see how it goes this year...

First day of Ramadhan kat Aloq Staq bersama family tersayang...cool giler weih...aku beli flight ticket since last year...just for the sake of the first day of Ramadhan...second day potluck ke rumah si Leen...then esoknya plak tu buka posa kat rumah dengan hosmet aku...the next day plak gi buffet RM18 kat bangi dengan the regular hang out buddies...tapi on the 5th day blasah gi Concorde KLIA untuk buka posa...for the price of RM57...i am totally satisfied...reasonably priced with the array of dishes may it come from oriental to pasta station to 8 types of drinks...many selection on desserts (one of my top listed priority)...total satisfaction...

Then the next day fly back to Aloq Staq...everytime i go back to Aloq Staq...there's one specific dish that i will find...Laksam...its nothing like the Kelantanese-style...its Kedah-style...the big difference is the gravy...its one of my must have everytime i go back to my hometown...

Pastu balik KL balik...went back to jalan jalan buka posa...on Monday we bought groupon deal for buffet in The Zon Hotel KL for RM40 (original price RM65)...for RM40 its worth it...but for the original price of RM65...not worth it...better go to Concorde KLIA instead (which was fully booked everytime i call for the whole week)...the next day blasah plak gi Marriott KL...RM65...i think i had eaten worth more than that...so i am quite satisfied...and on top of that...dapat plak la kupon RM100 untuk this one Japanese restaurant...tapi aku tak makan Japanese food...so aku bagi kat C.k ajer ler...

Buka puasa takkan nak kat hotel ajer kan...so the following day buka posa dengan memember Jepang kat Alamanda...asal nak gi Noodle Station which i won't go again due to personal experience...last last settle down for Black Canyon...nothing special for puasa...just the same normal dish...okay ajer...its the company that matters...other than the food...pastu esok tu gi Pan Pac KLIA...ini memang kelas...how much? i am not sure...i didn't pay for it...hahaha...the following day buka posa kat rumah ajer...

Weekend kedua terus fly balik aloq staq...cam biasa pi PARAM ajer...then fly back to KL...Monday terus gi buka posa dengan Adiputra kat kedai makan kat bangi...buffet...RM18 jeeee...but the selection was worth it...ada nasi with various type of lauk pauk...then ada kuih muih...then ada laksa lagi...pastu ada pengat pisang la plak...then ada lagi sate...kerang bakar...on top of that ada lagi stimbot mini...for RM18...it was totally a great value for the pocket...Selasa tu rasa maleh la nak buka posa kat luaq...so buka posa kat rumah ajer...makan murtabak...nasi kerabu...kelasss...nice...owh...tidak dilupakan...ayaq tebu...

Then come the highlight of the whole week...the day we all get together again after four years on the road...just the few close buddies...blocking meja cam haper jer kat RASA Alamanda tu...tak bagi orang nak amik langsung...hahaha...pastu pergi la beli makan...and we talk...we laughed..and we talk again...it was great....it some how is the reminiscene of the iftar 2007...when it all started...

Yesterday, due to our batch goin up to potipor...a friend buy me a buka posa buffet in putrajaya ekuestrian...RM60...the selection is just okay...just nice...furthermore orang belanja...blasah ajer...makan ajer kambing golek...sate...then just normal malay dish...it lacks on the dessert department...ermmm...

As for today...i am going to Chakri Express Alamanda...i love the food there...and paying RM50 for the same kind of food that can easily cost RM30 for a dish and drink...i think i wont mind adding another RM20 to the tab just have the endless of it...hahaha...talking about being greedy...tapi aku tak bazir makanan what...aku makan...so i think its worth it...so i'll just going to see how it goes later...as for now...i am just content of trying to pack all my things as we have to move to Block 2, level 5...renovation weih...aiiii...

Owh ya...its already 10 final days of Ramadhan...betapa cepatnya masa berlalu...moga tuhan makbulkan doaku untuk tahun ini...amin...

hanya sebatang kara
Meninggalkan kampung tercinta

Setiba dikotaraya
kugiat berkerja
berlumba-lumba mengejarkan
apa yang dicita

Meskipun badai yang melanda
aku terus melangkah
mengharungi hidup kota
dengan sepotong doa
Agar penghidupan
lebih maju bermakna
cuba membela nasib agama, bangsa, negara

Kuala Lumpur
menyinari hidupku
Kota yang penuh dengan cabaran
Kuala Lumpur
Kuala Lumpur
menyinari hidupku
Kota yang penuh dengan harapan

Simiskin dan sikaya semua tiada dibeza

Bila larut senja menjelma sungguh indahnya
Oh bertapa aku terharu dan sungguh berbangga

Friends Are Forever?

2011-07-17T05:27:00.000-07:00

Just read an interesting entry by my dear blogger friend...

It interesting in such a way that its reality...people do put up with other people behavior and doesn't say a word to their faces...it happens too many times...but sometimes these people doesn't do anything wrong or bad to the respective people but always being victimized as their sole conversation topic...not really sure what's their issue but it does happen as well...

There's an example scenario...A wanted so badly to be 'bff' to B but A can't since B is extremely close 'bff' with C...so A will start to badmouth C to B until at one point B started to believe A and then without notice C will lose the so-called 'bff'...owh this does happens as well...

People will often said that life is unfair...but the thing is...life is always fair...its how people perceived things that happened to them and accept it as their fate and work harder and pray to be given 'rezeki' by the almighty will make a difference...but the reality is...people are never satisfied with what they have...its okay...but don't put fault to others...that's what make the terrible feelings to appear and consequently leads to unnecessary jealousy and finally it will affect others...

Close friends/ best friends are indeed rare items in this world...handle it with care...coz you'll never know when will you be so blessed with it again...its better to cut off ties with the ones that you are not comfortable with rather than trying to put up with their behaviors and in the end wouldn't do the person justice as they have no idea that their so-called-bff are not as the way they thought it should be...

Friends are indeed a matter of preferences...one can pick and choose whomever they want to be close with or comfortable with and cut off with the ones that give more headache than mind bliss...i remember a statement that a dear friend told me once a few years back that made me re-evaluate my thoughts on friendship...one will never know who doesn't like you coz they know how to pretend...but one will always know the one who does coz the heart will recognize it...

Alien also means foreigner...

It's not as if i see alien from the outer space here...

I kinda miss my home country, Malaysia...

It's only my second week here...

Two more weeks to go...

I do wonder about all those people who studies abroad...

How they can cope with homesickness...

Coz i surely do start to feel homesick...

Especially because of the food...

My family...luckily my lil bro was also sent to Osaka for some sort of training by the company he attached to...

At least i can hang out with him after work and in the weekend...

Also my friends back in Putrajaya...

The settings was nice...5 star hotel...great view...nice room...

But i have no one to eat it with...
I
Aku end up makan sesorang ajer cake tu kat dalam bilik hotel...

Ady came and celebrate with me the very next day...

This year...

I am in the office...

And i have friends all around me...

We went on to have birthday dinner for me and deham (his birthday was 30th May)...

In a steamboat place kat sunway...

Nothing fancy...

But i have my close friends around me to celebrate it with...

It dawn on me...

Its not about the place that matters...

Its all about the people you are with...

I had great time...

Thanks...

A very good friend of mine once told me...

~My birthday date is important to him as its the day that God had sent him a very good friend~

I am touched...

And i always remember this particular phrase...

Eventho it was years ago...

And i felt very humbled to have friends who do remember my birthday...

What If

2011-05-15T06:04:00.000-07:00

Spent my Sunday alone at home...

Watch some dvd...Letters To Juliet...Pride And Prejudice...When In Rome...

What does these three movies have in common other than its from the Romance genre...

It boast spectacular locations...

Letters To Juliet in Verona, Italy...

Pride And Prejudice in English countrysides...

When In Rome as referred to the title...in Rome, Italy...

I had been to two of the locations except for Verona...now i must include it in my must go place list...

Another similarity of these movies are its all about second chance in love...

Owh demmm...i am getting sentimental here...

Suddenly i started thinking about it...

About two words that is to be put together will form a powerful question...

What If...

Let me dwell on it for a moment...

Himbo Thinking About Food

2011-04-25T06:33:00.000-07:00

Malaysia is well-known for its diversity of food...

There's always something to eat in every corner...

And its also one of the things that the tourists give good comments about Malaysia...

I think...

Someone should just set up one food joint...

That consists of all the foods from all the states in Malaysia...

Make it food court style...

But each stall have different cuisine...

Segregated to 14 sections...

Each section represent one state...

Stalls in each state section only sells cuisine from respective state...

Lets call it 1 Malaysia Food Joints...

And i think i will definitely be a regular...

Owh dem...calorie counter ticks much faster...

Hehehe...

Himbo Talks About Jalan Jalan Cari Makan

2011-04-24T22:51:00.000-07:00

This himbo loves to eat...

One of the few 'guides' is the show Jalan-Jalan Cari Makan...

Its one of my favorite 'reality' tv show...it is considered reality rite...

But...

I think they should change the presenter of the show lah...

This thin guy failed to capture the same essence of the show as what the previous two had done...

Really...

Just try to remember...

When you see Maria Tunku Sabri or Serena Redzuan having their 'meals' during the show...

They really made me REALLY REALLY REALLY want to go to those food joints...

The way they eat it...owh mannn...dem delicious weih (eventho it might not taste that good in reality)...

But the message was clear...and they really do make people want to eat what they are eating...

But the new guy...eat without any feel...there's no indication of what it taste like...

Until he talk...then he commented that it taste good...

Owh...lame...

In reality...action speaks louder than words...

Maria and Serena managed to do that...Qi didn't...

In the end...

Kelasssss ko maria...

My friend just got engaged to a moroccan lady the other day...

In Casablanca...

Serious...

Owh dem...i thought he was joking when he told everyone that he is going to find a wife there...

Turns out it is true...

He said...

If i still not 'well-sold' in the Malaysian market...

Maybe i should just go there instead...

Plenty of choices...

Erkkk...but...

Its interesting...

If one can't find one in own soil...why don't try another option...

Now this himbo is thinking to book a flight to Casablanca...

Himbo And Sale

2011-04-21T03:13:00.000-07:00

Ermmm...i rephrase...

I just shop things that i need...

And also might need in the future (you always have to be prepared rite)...

Also within my own financial capability...

Which is why i like sale...

Coz...

It fits my financial capability (especially when its 50%-70% off or some are Best Buy which is more than that)

Also fits in my second justification...

That i might need it in the future...

Better buy early early...

Himbo And Rumor

2011-04-19T22:40:00.000-07:00

You are nobody until you were talked about...

Its one of the Gossip Girl tagline...

Its pretty much true...

But it also depends on what other people were talking about...

One thing for sure...

Rumor can be so damaging to one's reputation...

Maybe it works in the celebrity world...

As they need any kind of publicity to at least let the world know their existance...

But not in the real world...

And the person who started the rumor ought to be hanged for their deeds...

No wonder in Islam they say its worst than fornication...

Coz its seriously is...

Himbo And Stalker

2011-04-19T03:09:00.000-07:00

I don't know why some people like being a stalker...

I think it satisfies their some not-so-commendable cravings kot...

Euwww...

That sounds gross...

But if a person being a good stalker...its okay...no harm done...

But if that particular person being a plain pain in the word after R...trying to use everything against the people that particular person is stalking...

Then...i think we can only leave the matter to the Almighty...

Coz its just too bad...

Himbo And Human Resources

2011-04-01T04:26:00.000-07:00

Its my third week in Human Resources Department...

Learning new territory...cool...but at the same time juggling with finance as well...as i still love my old department...just...owh...no need to tell much...but managing human resources and managing finance are two different things...more emotions are included when it comes to human resources...otherwise in finance you can be a bit mean just to save all of our a** from being penaltied by the higher organisation...

More human touch are needed in human resources...

But for the time being...i am still trying to learn...trying to catch up...alhamdulillah...it seems to be going well...i am still very much the source of finance information though...but i don't mind all that much...coz it seems like the sky are brighter...~dreamy mode~

For the next four days...i am just going for a quick getaway...try to ease up and relax my brain a bit since i was doing circus (juggling between human resources and finance) for the last three weeks...i do owe my brain a rest...and my boss seems to understand it too...off me go...

Himbo Left Finance...Right To Human Resources...

2011-03-15T09:27:00.000-07:00

It's a good news underneath all the turmoil in my life right now...

I had been in finance division for more than 2 years now...then the big bosses decided i have enough time in finance...and its time for me to venture to new competency...

It's kinda sad to leave the great team that had been working together to get all those macro-micro finances done for the organisation...but its time for me to move on and start a new chapter in my professional career...

Till i meet you again finance...this himbo has a new professional adventure waiting...

In Human Resources...wish me all the best...

Just caught up with lot of 'sentap' in the office as well as there's lots of work for now...i find it tiring to focus on my work and at the same time sharing my views on certain aspect (travels)...since there's a lot of people 'sentap' when i wrote about my travels and describe how great it was...i take on pity to these pathetic fools...

Sincerely i do pity them...so to spare them further torture by reading and looking at my entries (which i never force these pathetic fools to read nor look in the first place)...since my blog link is already known to these fools...i decided to set up another blog which i wont reveal the link...if these fools do find the link to my new blog...i really have to applaud their dilligence of really trying...budussss...

Sad Entry

2011-02-26T17:00:00.000-08:00

Yesterday morning my ex big boss passed away...

I felt a pang of loss...it came in as a shock as the last time i visited him in IJN...he seemed eager to resume his work in the office...eventhough he was a bit daunted by certain things...

He really made an impact in my life...kinda gimme an idea of what kind of boss i want to be when i grow up in the service...seeing his lifeless body in the mosque yesterday made me truly realise how he was as a boss...he is by far one of the nicest person i had known...and a great boss...

Now he is gone forever...but all his advices and guidances will always be remembered...may his soul to rest in peace and placed among His loved ones...

Roadtrip 2011 : Jejalan Cari Makan Bentong, Pahang

2011-01-08T09:18:00.000-08:00

It was a great roadtrip kick-off for 2011...

Amy, Jepp and I in front of Amy's Kafe Keraton in Bentong, Pahang...

Initially it was supposed to be...me...ha...ina...ned...jaja...but all 4 of them have to pull out...jaja was ordered by her boss to go to the office (it was saturday hokey)...ned was sick...ina was not in the mood...and ha was given a condition by her hubby that she was only allowed if there's another gal in the group...in the end...it was me alone that can make it...luckily jepp was around...so it was only jepp and i...in his brand new proton neo...wuhuuuu...

Foodssss...

Jepp looked as if he was possessed while eating...wahhhh...sedap ler tu...

We set the coordinate to Bentong, Pahang in jepp's GPS...then off we went for 1 hour 45 mins ride to Bentong thru the forever hectic MRR2...we reached Bentong and quickly made a pit stop at Linda Vass's (affectionately nicknamed L*V) home...then off we went to Amy's restaurant in the middle of Bentong city...Kafe Keraton...it was such a small world that Linda's parents are regular customer at Amy's kafe in Bentong...hahaha...

Pak Chu's Sate...

Mee Bandung Muar cooked by Amy's father...

We started our journey to bloated ourselves at Amy's Kafe Keraton...we had white rice...chilie sambal squids...fried eggs...and the ultimate cuisine in any part of Pahang...masak lemak tempoyak ikan patin (i don't know how to translate it in english)...perghhh...no wonder this particular cafe is the favorite hang out joint for Linda's parents...Amy does have a talent to cook...and on top of that...Amy specially prepared for us caramel pudding for dessert...whoaaaa...we left Kafe Keraton with a big smile on our faces and a full stomach to boot...

Specially made for us...the caramel pudding...we were touched...thanks Amy...

We went back to Linda's to take a rest and pray...Aina drop by with her adorable daughter Sofia and we all have a chat and getting to know each other...okay...the circle goes on like this...Amy is my ex varsity mate...Linda and Jepp are both my officemates...Aina is my batchmate...so in a way...i was the centrepoint of getting them together...hahaha...now my friends are friends with my another friends...cool huh...Linda prepared fried mee and tea for us...a good attempt from the host...i can feel all the fats garnered in volume as i was putting everything into my mouth...whoaaa...sadly Aina had to leave and can't join our program...

We continued our journey to Sate Pak Chu...the size of the sate is a bit smaller than Sate Kajang...but i particularly love the beef sate...the spices were all embedded inside the beef and bring the aromatic flavor to it...whoaaa...

The flock flies together thru thick and thin...yeahhh...

Last but not least...mee bandung muar by bapak amy...giler sedap hoooo...since we were all are quite full due to extensive eating since arriving in Bentong...we just split a bowl of the mee to the three of us...but it was enough for me to say that it was worth every ringgit...mantap siotttt bapak amy punya mee bandung muar...its a must for next outing for another roadtrip to Bentong...

Setting up the next route for another roadtrip...

Overall i had a great day...the roadtrip 2011 : Jejalan Cari Makan Bentong, Pahang was a great success...we ate non-stop...we chatted and we laughed...and we gained new friends...widening our friendbase...and satisfying my appetite to the boot...all thanks to Linda, Amy, Jepp and Aina for making it one of the most memorable day of 2011...its indeed a great kick-off for roadtrip 2011 : Jejalan Cari Makan...expect more to come...hehehe...

Professional And Personal

2011-01-06T07:37:00.000-08:00

Year end and early financial year is a nightmare for finance people...

I was having dinner with my friends in Tony Roma's in Sunway (Fendi's paying coz he got big fat bonussss)...was aiming to refill 15 times the bottomless Ice Lemon Tea...having combo steak dinner with prawns...fried mushroom...onion rings...and was expecting to have molten choc for dessert...when my big boss called me up and asked me to go to the office right away because there is an emergency...and it was dinner time...

Being a good officer...i packed up my things...had to leave my friends while at the same time were blabbering to me about how hard it was to have a group dinner between all of us and i had to leave early because of the work demand...huhuhuhu...i am no workaholic...but i tried my best to do the things that is within my jobscope as smoothly as i can...

Off me go to the parking lot and rempitlah di LDP itu...dengan jem nyer...aiyooo...finally reached the office...done the things that i was required to do and within my jurisdiction...wahhh...kelasss bunyi nyer...and now currently waiting for the clock to strike 12 midnite to ensure that it will be the end of financial 2010...then i can go home...

I felt kinda bad about rushing off from the dinner with my very-hard-to-meet friends...i bet i have to hear every single one of them fretting about it for weeks to come...yeah...i am not kidding...but whatever it is...for me personally...job does not come first...its all about prioritising between the two according to the level of priority at the specific moment...it doesn't mean that i put my work above my friends and families...its just that...sometimes...professional life does require us to make some sacrifice...this is one of those times that i had to do that...i feel bad about it...

Professional and personal...its always hard to separate between the two...

Asik jadi wedding crashers ajer aku nieh...biler ler plak time aku nak biar orang lain crash aku punya wedding...

Goodbye Plastics

2010-12-21T09:05:00.000-08:00

Finally...after more than 4 years...

I finally cancelled both my H*SBC credit cards...visa and mastercard (the mastercard was given without me asking for it)...the process was simple actually...went to the bank...take the number...then meet the customer service representative...NOT...

Yeah...the process was simple...but the execution was a bit lengthy...i went to the bank...met the cust service rep...then told her i want to cancel both credit cards...then she went over my latest statement...there's some outstanding balance...okay...i just need to clear it up...but...it was not that easy...as my current statement is not yet to the cut-off date...so i can't cancel the card just yet...but we filled in the form...the billing add was stated at my aunt's in gombak...usually i will just paid the card without taking a look at the full statement...just log in the personal banking online...

There was two items in my credit statements that was being paid by me...one thing about this particular bank was that the sales person were always calling up for promos and what not...so maybe it was my mistake or miscomprehension about the items they were promoting over the phone...and i end up paying for two things...the credit guardian plus...and also this takaful amanah whatever...both of payments can easily paid for my meals for the whole week...and i got no benefit whatsoever out of it...and i had been paying it for over three years (since i joined the govt...i had been using the credit card since i was in the private sector)...

Back then when i was working in the private sector...i paid my credit card bills without fail...and without any outstanding balance whatsoever...but since i joined the govt sector...there's always an oustanding balance...it was kinda tough at first to really adjust the financial implication of switching from higher income to slightly lower ones...i really respect those who can make the transition smoothly (it took me about a year to get used to it)...then i just found out how exactly the finance charges was calculated...it was not as easy as i thought it was...when i heard the way the cust rep explaining it to me...it was denggg complicated...the outstanding balance carried forward on top of the current charges on top of the previous balance and finance charges of the former month...denggg...actually the finance charges was calculated on daily basis based on the oustanding balance after the payment which included the finance charges for the that particular month...thats why the financial charges still exists eventhough you paid full sum without any outstanding balance...as it was charged on the outstanding balanced carried forward from the former month...arghhh...

So end up...i physically destroyed the card...cut it into two pieces...but technically its still yet to be settled...now i have to wait for the finance charges for the current month and also on top of that the takaful whatever along with the credit guardian plus (which was supposed to be charged in month end but i have to pay it anyway for the month of Dec eventhough i cancelled my card and paid the oustanding balance) to finally get it out of my system...denggg...that H*SBC credit card is simply a silent 'bleeder'...it will suck you dry...its all because all these 'extra protection plans' that goes along with it...not sure if they have it for another bank...but based on my experience with cimbeng...i don't have them calling me every week to update on promos and what not that i surely don't need...

Owh yeah...i forgot to mention...just three days ago a sales rep from the bank called me up about giving me loan for RM11k...no documentation needed...they can just debit it to any of my bank acc...and they will charge it monthly to the credit card...you know how much the interest? it was 11% (if i am not mistaken) over the course of 5 years...owh...how convenient...and on top of that...there will be all those monthly financial charges of 1.5% monthly on top of the 11% or was it 22%?...even my car loan was only 3.33% interest rate...OMG...my answer...

~sorry, i am working in the govt sector and it is stupid of me to take on your offer as i can take on loans easily at a BETTER rate than whats your 'bloodsucking financial institution' is offering if i want to...and i will appreciate it if you just blacklist my number from your phone book as i am going to cancel my card coz i am not satisfied with the service given~

That managed to caught her off guard as there was a complete silence for about 7 seconds...and then she sweetly said sorry to interrupt and thank you...

In the end i felt so good to get it over and done with...now i just maintain my cimbeng credit...as its easier for me to monitor my expenses and paid it online as soon as it was posted in my bills...credit cards is actually a good financial tool...but one must know how the exact calculations are made and the exact charges to really utilised it...otherwise...it will be a silent non-living bleeding creature that can leave you dry...and i will advise anyone who want to take on credit to really ask the rep who are promoting it about all the calculations...and make sure its islamic credit cards...owh yeah...affin's finance charges was only 9% per year...and that is half from any other conventional credit cards...not sure whether others too...

But whatever it is...life without plastic is a blessing...no more hidden debts...just simply cash...but i still maintain one plastic...just for controlled usage...hehehe...

Monthly Meet Up

2010-12-14T10:03:00.000-08:00

Just got back from IOI Mall...

Had my monthly meet up with my really close friend during varsity years...Ms Zalina...or affectionately known as Zack...it has been some sort of routine for us to meet up in IOI Mall once a month (non specific date) just to update each other with our life...it was kinda cool and great to actually talk to someone that had known you for years about anything and everything...aside from my quarterly meet ups with Ady...

I don't know how we started to be close friends even back then during the varsity years...but one of the reason back then was because she was the sole and only person in the whole USM that i can actually speak to in English...its like some sort of training myself to speak in English...broken pon broken lah...at least boleh prektis english aku yang hampagas tu...still nowhere compared to Ms Hayati's level lah...that one i have to pull up white flag lah...

And i don't know...is it really a typical malay attitude that can't stands when they heard other people converse in language other than our mother tongue...i still remember back then we got all this sort of comments such as 'sejak bila malaysia ada salji' lah...'bontot hitam perasan mat saleh lah'...'tak patriotik lah'...'melayu perasan bagus lupa diri' lah...and a lot more...at first i just hold up my tongue from giving any comments regarding the matter...i mean like...hello...we were conversing with each other and you are not included in the conversation kot...so do spare the need to try to make us feel bad just because we speak in second language...i still remember that there was this one time that i think i had enough of the nonsense and i just simply with sweet innocent tone commented back...~minta maaf la sebab MUET kitorang band 6 and ko band 2 ajer~...which was enough to make this particular one girl shut her mouth up and reserved her comments for the rest of the varsity years...sentappp kot...hahaha...pueh ati aku...itu dia tak dengar aku prektis aku punya french dengan Ady and Francois (friend of Ady who happens to be French) lagi tu...but truth to be told...i speak horrible french...actually i can't speak french...both of them taught me phrase by phrase on simple conversation in French...but still...it sounds totally horrendous and ridiculous...sure i will make the french fainted for being able to slaughter their language...first class...i think only Francois can understand me...even Ady have an extreme difficulty of understanding my French...hahaha...

Anyway...nowadays we still very much converse in English...but as usual...being malay...its the mixed between each language...it felt good to meet up with Zack that i had known for more than 8 years (OMG that is a long time) and just chat over a drink and dinner...we can be utterly silly...Zack currently working as a quantity surveyor in one of the major construction company in KL...but despite how both of us has grown from our varsity years...there's still that essence of ourselves that really defined who we were before...that never changes...

p/s:my english is still pretty much broken...amponnnn...

Blackberry Or New Zealand

2010-12-11T10:34:00.000-08:00

Why can't i just have both???

It's becoz i can only afford either one...if i took blackberry...then i have to hold my plan to go to New Zealand...if i go along with my plan to go to New Zealand...i can say bye bye bye to blackberry...and some of my friends were wondering...how come using blackberry can be equivalent to the amount spent to travel to New Zealand...

Aha...that's where most people have miscalculate the financial implication...taking on blackberry doesn't only means paying for the phone itself...its also paying for the service as well...lets calculate shall we...

The price for the phone (Blackberry Torch) = RM1,588

The monthly commitment (Celcom Exec 50 + Blackberry Pro) = RM148x12months = RM1,776

Grand Total per annum = RM3,364 ~ RM2,614 (after deducting my monthly prepaid reloads)

source from Celcom website...

To be fair...i am currently using prepaid...and i reload RM60 every month...so the grand total deducted by RM720 (RM60x12) is RM2,614...that is an additional payment i have to fork out for next year if i take on Blackberry...

How does this equal to the planned NZ trip...

The return flight ticket via air*asia inclusive tax = RM700 (during promo period it can go as low as RM391 but to be fair i doubled the fare price)...

Accomodations for 5 nites = RM500 (budget lodging can go as low as RM70 per nite)

Meals 3 times a day for 5 nites = RM300

Transport/ entrance fee/ airport transfers = RM500

Small souveniers for myself and those in the list = RM300

Grand Total = RM2,300 (the currency is almost equivalent to Singapore)

source from wikitravel/ air*asia/ travellerspoint/ hostelbookers/ NZ tourism website

Aha...looks like travelling to New Zealand will be slightly cheaper than taking blackberry...

But it has been three years since i last bought handphone...it should came up in the priority list...but then again i had been dreaming of going to New Zealand since i first seen my big sis's photos during her trip there in the late 90s...

A good friend of mine said that i should take the blackberry...and maybe save New Zealand as the honeymoon destination since its quite affordable to go there via Air*asia...as he eloquently stated...

~takkan lari New Zealand dikejar~

Arghhhh...it comes down to this...either taking on a gadget which is an asset that can be seen everyday until it broke/ unusable anymore...OR...use the same amount for a one-off experience to the beautiful country which will last forever in mind...owh denggg...now i am torn between the two...as i stated in one of my entries before...i can afford to travel by sacrificing other needs...once again now i have to make a decision...decision...decision...decision...what its gonna be...

Intimidated...Insecure...

2010-11-27T21:57:00.000-08:00

I don't know why i always stumble into this kind of situation...

I do wonder though...why my friends' (noted the plural terms) respective boyfriends (not husband or fiance' hokey) are intimidated by me...i known their respective girlfriends first before they got into relationship with them...in some cases...both are actually introduced by me whereas their boyfriends are actually my friends as well...

That's why...i was seriously flabbergasted when i was told by my friends that their respective boyfriends are 'troubled' with the fact that i am in a really good terms with their 'significant others'...there had been moments that these friends of mine have to resort to trickery just to hang out...worrying that it will upset their boyfriend...what da fish la weih?

Lets analyse...i don't have that supermodel look...i am not in the category of having lots of money to flaunt away...i am not some smart guy who passes exams with flying colors...i am not categorised in those who are 'polished' in terms of appearance (sangat selekeh hokey)...thats why i don't know why there is the need for these boyfriends of my friends to feel intimidated or feeling insecure about me hanging out with their girlfriends which once again are my good friends since like...forever (okay that is a lil bit 'over')...but you do get my meaning...

It had happened before...and recently it happened again...the best part of the whole thing was...i was the one who actually introduced this particular friend of mine to this another good friend of mine...

Jealousy is seriously a funny thing...as it can be a good thing (as some people will take it as a sign of caring)...but in most time it can be annoying (as what i am in right now)...looking back at my previous experience...it will not turn out good...as there will be another name to be crossed out from my hang out list...intimidated or insecure...please get over it...

Pictures With Thousand Of Unspoken Words

2010-11-23T03:43:00.000-08:00

I love taking pictures...and being the one in the pictures...

Pictures are wordless...but if one can feel the soul and the moment just by looking at one's picture...then that means the photographer had done a great work capturing the moment to be immortalised in a piece of wordless paper...if one can be swayed to do something just by seeing the pictures...then its the credit again to the photographer...

Thank god i have friends who are such a wonderful photographers...as i look through all the pictures...i wanted to re-live the experience...again and again...

Hotel Or Hostel?

2010-11-09T09:21:00.000-08:00

Aha...its a trick question...

Personally i prefer hostel/ budget accomodation if i am travelling to another country...its not really because of the money...coz seriously you can find very good deals on all those hotels yang berbintang bintang di langit kat internet...sometimes up to 80% off the listed room rates...

Bukannya apa...aku takut kalau hotel tu voguesss sangat...nanti aku takmo keluar bilik sebab best sangat bilik dia rasa malas plak nak keluar...rugi ajer aku gi travel jejauh kalau nak dok dalam bilik ajer...

Lain la kalau pi hanimun...oooppsss...hehehe...

Time is indeed a funny thing...

People change with time...yeah...exactly...

Recently someone tried to add me in fesbuk...with a message stating...

~you kenal i lagi tak? kita dulu sekolah kat ipoh...u jumpa i waktu hari kantin sekolah i~

Then i take a look at her profile...yeah...i do know her...

It's the girl that i used to like...but then again...i was a nerd in school...not some popular school jock...it was a total crash and burn...more or less...it has been a joke among her friends that i even tried...

But i gave her a chance...i accepted her request...then comes with it are private messages stating how cool i am nowadays...travelling the globe...and i look better than i used to look...and without even me asking...she offered an information that she's still single...

But am i interested?

Sorry...you had your chance...i moved on...one more thing...i don't do second chances...

One of my dear friend is getting married next year...

And they asked me to do the honor of becoming the pengapit...i am flattered and truly feel honored by the request...it is always a great feeling to be a part of someone's very meaningful day such as this...a person won't asked just anyone to be the pengapit...they will asked for the ones that they considered as their close buddies...owh i need to slim down (as if aku plak nak kawin) hahaha...

I am truly happy for my friend...now he can join in the list of MY pengapits (note the plural terms) by the time i get married...when? only god knows that...hehehe...

Buat kesekian kalinya aku kena jadi pengapit lagi...

The small celebration ceremony will be held outside of malaysia for only a few close friends and family...alahai...aku kena minta kebenaran gi obesi lagi la nieh...nikah ceremony kat KL...tapi the reception is in one of the islands in the south east asia lah...maleh nak cakap mana satu...so all of us are going to be flown away to this island a day before the wedding reception...abis akad nikah terus cabut gi airport la kiranya...pastu abis wedding balik mai sini balik and let all those family members dengan pengantin sambung 'tambah' family member...hahaha...but i can't imagine we all will be donning baju melayu at the seaside...in a foreign country...arghhh...biaq pi lah...heheh...tapi diorang akan wat another reception kat KL lah...dapat baju lagi lah kot...hahaha...

Anyway...aku okay ajer...tarak hal...tambah tambah dapat baju free...makan kat meja pengantin (ooopppsss)....dapat travel free (Din's wedding in Indonesia and this time)...and a good feeling that i am a part of someone's really important day...

Tapi bila la plak time aku...aku rasa bila sampai time aku nanti...aku nak paksa diorang ni yang dok asyik suh aku jadi diorang punya pengapit ni jadi pengapit aku plak...hahaha...abis la jadi cam citer 27 dresses nanti...wahhh...cool gak tu...but all in all...i am just happy that my good friends are happy...

Photographs @ Aidilfitri

2010-09-14T13:14:00.000-07:00

Hari Raya dan bergambar tidak dapat dipisahkan...

Raya at rumah arwah nenek...still missed her a lot...

My late grandma's house...it was different without her...

Mimie and his phone is unseparatable...

As explained in my previous entry...this year's raya is not as happening as it used to be...still waiting for next year...but still...fotografi punya session mana boleh berhenti...hehehe...as for the family pictures...well i just put on some unconvetional hari raya pictures...the ones that my siblings menggediks skit...conventional pictures are for the family album...

The siblings photos..missing from the pics are my second sister...big bro and fifth sis...

My lil bro new gadget...

My lil bro got himself a new camera...used camera that is...sold by my sis's friend who happened to be a photographer with dozens of cameras and want to let go one of them...hurmmm...so...apa lagi...berfoto lah kami dengan kamera itu...the pictures turns out quite nice...touch up a lil bit here and there...voila...we have great pictures...

Wajah-wajah hari raya...

Most of the pictures consist of the siblings...and as usual...jumping pics lah...muka senget pics lah...you know...all those unconventional ones...but these pictures represents who we are in a way...the happiness still shines through...and i just love it...edit here and there...and there you go...

Drive to penang...

Nasi kandar berebut...hahaha...

I love the time we went to Penang for the family dinner of some sort in Ferringhi...we drove up to ayah mi's holiday apartment...and he throw a makan-makan party...there were only three big family were there...the abdul wahab clan (thats us) mak ida clan (the closest family and my father's younger sister) and the owner ayah mi clan (my father's younger brother)...menu? ayah mi is well-known with his tendency towards nasi kandar...all we got that nite was nasi kandar line clear...but during the dinner...it went so hectic...that we rename it as nasi kandar berebut...hahaha...it was fun...can you just imagine...3 big northern family get together...we are loud okay...hahaha...

Getting ready for the 10 poses timer...deng it is cool...

My sister's apartment...

We end up staying for the nite at my sis's apartment in penang...it was seriously cool...as my sis's apartment is just next to USM...i kinda miss my varsity years...it was a very educational years...not only for studies...but for what i have become personally...thats what i always feel...education is important no matter what...going to university is important no matter what...coz it is some sort of character building...and being around the right kind of people...i can still replay those memories of puasa in USM in my mind...among the most unforgettable years of my life...not really the best years...but surely the most unforgettable...

Hari raya kedua...lepak kat rumah ajer...senang cakap la...aku tak ada kawan kat aloq setaq...most of my long time friends dah lost contact sudah...some that were close already moved out or married...jadi...dok melepak ajer ler kat rumah...tapi kedebusss...sedara mara pak aku datang...abis la dapur tu dah jadi cam hell's kitchen...serious tak tipu...kitorang 5 bradik tetiba jadi cam kitchen helper siapkan segala benda nak sambut tetamu yang mai...but it was worth the effort...it was great to have people in our house...

Hari raya ketiga...jadi host jugak lagi...kali ni with another additional dish...laksam...bukan kelantan style okay...ini memang pure kedah style...datang ler lagi sedara mara pak aku ke rumah kitorang...sedara mara mak aku? dont ask...lepas tu terus tutup kedai...off we all go for family dinner in ferringhi...exciting siot...heheheh...

Hari raya keempat? i'll write about it in my next entry...coz tak sampai lagi kan...

But i am looking forward for next year's hari raya...coz...insya allah...semua kitorang 8 bradik akan berkumpul kat rumah...and then aku akan ada anak sedara yang kedua...tak tau ler lagi laki ker pompuan...and akak aku yang dok kat US tu akan balik for hari raya...for the first time after 11 years...aku dah siap dalam kepala dah dengan akak aku pasal menu for next year...kitorang pon nak decide on color theme for next year gak...maybe goes with shades of green or yellow...hehehe...then we are just going to have fun...can't wait for next year...

Jalan TAR Memories @ Ramadhan

2010-09-10T11:01:00.000-07:00

Aku beli crocs untuk hari raya....tetiba aku teringat citer pasal crocs tahun lepas...

Macam biasa la...annual event is going to Jalan TAR for final shopping...waktu time tu ada aku, emmy jo, tina, zaimee, zetty, leen, arep, cher dengan pija...jalan punya jalan...aku pun dah rembat satu baju melayu dengan samping...arep pon sama...zaimee pon sama...cuma pompuan ajer cam tak beli aper aper...okay fyne...sampai la kat satu gerai yang jual crocs...

Kitorang pon dok tengok tengok la sandal kasut semua bagai kat situ...tina dengan emmy jo cam berkenan giler nak beli...

Emmy Jo : eh eh eh...comelnya selipar nieh...(melihat satu selipar crocs)...

Tina : Cantik jugak sandal ni...(melihat satu sandal crocs)

Emmy Jo : i nak try lah kejap...(sambil mengenakan selipar crocs itu)...

Tina : ~juga mencuba sandal crocs itu~

Ayat seterusnya buat Tina terus kensel mau beli itu sandal...hehehe...

Emmy Jo : comel la selipar nie...boleh la i buat masuk toilet...

Tina dan semua : ~tergamam~

Tina : ~terus meletakkan semula sandal itu dan kitorang semua meneruskan perjalanan tanpa membeli~

Setelah beberapa langkah berjalan...

Tina : aku mau beli crocs tu...tapi dengar emmy jo cakap itu standard gi toilet ajer terus aku tak jadi beli...

Aku : hahahahahahaha~gelak guling guling~

Emmy Jo : ~blur~

Kelakar siot malam tu...rasa cam sangat lawak la...aku pun tergamam gak...crocs tu aku pakai gi KLCC kot...tapi emmy jo setakat standard masuk jamban ajer...giler arrr high class...hehehe...tapi takper...eventho emmy jo is like that...but i still love her as one of my closest friend in the whole world...tapi aku tetap rasa nak tergelak ingat balik tina punya expression waktu emmy jo cakap camtu....hehehe...

Ramadhan @ Golden Palm Tree Sepang

2010-08-31T11:32:00.000-07:00

I just can't help it...

Golden Palm Tree in Sepang Gold Coast...

Its a newly opened resort...away in Sepang Gold Coast (actually more in bagan lalang lah)...and for this merdeka day, they are having promo for RM53++ for the ramadhan buffet (normally its RM119++)...and of coz being me...i just can't help it but to notify my dear buddies whether they are interested...ha and alia were in...then comes along fara...and the last but not least...the sweet couples...adrian and ainul...

Tired waiting for iftar time...

Went to picked up ha and fara at ha's...then ainul and adrian joined from Sepang as they were in Nilai 3...then alia join in from her home in sepang gold coast...its kinda far from putrajaya...i still remember my first reaction when i went to alia's in sepang gold coast...deng far far away bro...nama ajer sepang...tapi hamik ko...kat bagan lalang tu...memang giler jauh...but then again...with the right company joining along...the long ride was fun and filled with laughter...

My main course...all the seafoods jumble up together...hehehe...

First of all...the place was awesome...deng gojes weih...it is like a palm tree in the middle of the sea...usually they held the buffet in the middle of the palm tree...which is on top of the sea...but since they had an overwhelming response to the promo...they have it the ballroom instead...in any buffet...the most important criteria for me is the dessert counter...they have cheese cakes...choc cakes...variety of nyonya kuih...choc fountain (strawberry flavours)...ice cream...owh they had me at cheesecakes...

The cheesecakes and chocolate cakes...yummy....

As for the main course...they have lots of seafoods...seriously...the prawns are fresh...squids...moussels...crabs (cher mesti suka punya)...and the usuals...meats...beefs...chickens...and all...at the grilled counter...they have grilled seafoods...sate...beefsteaks...chickens...seriously the whole presentation really wake up my appetite...hehehe...

Chocolate coated strawberries and mini parfait...

They have a lot of foreigners here...i mean...a lot...and they also have a taste of the ramadhan buffet...the only thing that put me off is...they started eating as early as 6:45 p.m...who can blame them...they are foreigners...they might be a lil bit clueless about iftar concept in malaysia...usually malaysians (regardless of race and religion) will be really courteous and waited till everyone are allowed to eat then they eat...but then again...they are foreigners...

Selamat berbuka puasa...mulakan denga bismillah...

We ate and we ate...and they have the band to accompany us while we were eating...starting with ghazal performances (which adrian took their contact number for 'future' use...hehehe)...and these guys who play violin...really cool...kinda remind me of mess nite during police attachment 2 years ago (omaigot...had it been that long ago)...owh...they even have pasta counter...they cooked it for you as you ordered...cool huh...

Ha's excited face with her foods...yeah...

Overall...for the price of RM53++...we really enjoyed the dish presented...and we had fun thruout...it is a great iftar session outside of KL and Putrajaya...and i am glad that they had the promo...otherwise i wouldn't even dream of going there for the full price...hehehehe...

Another successful iftar session with dear friends...alia...ha...fara...adrian...ainul...

I think i am done with ramadhan buffet for this year...my stomach can't really handle it anymore...and also the expenses...so this might very well be the final iftar in hotel...after this i should just stick to mosques or bazaar for food...hehehe...but it is definitely a great closure for my ramadhan buffet for this year...owh yeah...i had one iftar session with jaja yesterday in bangi...should write about my experience there in the next entry as i left the camera inside jaja's car...so have to get the camera first lah...but all in all...great food should be accompanied by good friends...then it become worth the time and money...

Review - Step Up 3D

2010-08-30T02:50:00.000-07:00

Bosan kat rumah...terus login gsc...tengok ada cerita nie kul 12:40 a.m...

Perfect timing...dah abis terawih semua...just that nobody nak gi tengok lah...sebab lewat sangat...no worries...i have no problems about watching movie alone...sometimes i do watch alone as i can just focus on the movie...i watched the previous two step up movie...the first one was kinda cool...the second one gets better in term of the choreography...and this third installment is no disappointment...the dance was sleek...do remember to ignore the ridiculous story line...and kinda repetitive too...

The movie started off cool enough with this mini documentary about people who dance...and then in central park there were these new NYU students attending their orientation...Moose (from Step Up 2) and Cam (Step Up 1)...and moose got distracted by this so-called-limited edition Nike shoes that he followed the guy who wore the shoe to the place where some dancers are 'battling' out their moves...and people around them are betting...and of course...moose got in to the battle and won and ran away from the police...i hate to elaborate why...only to be saved by the nike shoes guy, Luke (who look more like a supermodel than dancer)...

This luke guy...i dont know what to make of him...he owns this building which have club downstairs and this dance studio upstairs...and have all these street dancers who had been chased away or ran away from their respective homes under his care...okay fyne...he is some sort of guardian dancing angel...erkkk...and he supported all these people...including foods and all and what not (including deng gojes shoes weih...dozens of them) with the revenue of his not-so-profitable club...

He then recruit moose to be in his 'crew' (obviously this is what dance group is called) and this another girl who Luke found in his club, Natalie...he then took in these another two people under his wings and then getting all of them ready for the world jam dance battle...the winner will win USD100,000...which luke desperately needed to pay off the mortgage...

But what is a movie without drama...here comes Julien...luke's sworn enemy who will do whatever he can to win the world jam title and at the same time trying to buy off luke's safe haven...surprise surprise...turns out natalie is julien's lil sis...and you kinda guess what happens afterwards...but blah blah blah blah....everyone kiss up and make up...and they all went for the competition and won...yeah...everybody happy...owh yeah...luke and natalie after that went to california as luke enroll into a film school and natalie...hurmmm...being a loyal girlfriend...just follow luke lah...tacky...cliche...but i kinda love the movie though...

Overall the movie storyline kinda...eeerrrrrr...but try not to focus on the storyline and you are safe enough...the highlights of the movie are the dance sequence...my favorite is of cos the second battle against the chinese with the song Beggin' as the background...and it got all those water sequence in the dance which made it looked so aerodynamic and seriously cool...another one will be the tango sequence during natalie's birthday...and seriously...did luke went for the rehearsal beforehand or something...he came to the party without knowing anything...and suddenly on the dance floor...there he was...dancing to the same rhytm and tune as others...OMG...but the dance sequence was seriously sexy...hello...its tango...and another one of my fave part of the whole movie is where the MSA Crew (from Step Up 2) made an appearance in the later half of the movie to support luke's crew...there was kiddo, cable, smile etc...i think cable is seriously cool (he also appeared in Glee)...

This movie does have its moments...and those moments made it good enough for watching...and just to let you know...i watched it twice in the cinema...hehee...watching this movie made me wanna sign up for a dance class and join some 'crew' then battle it out in Showdown...boleh la dapat RM50,000...hehehe...seriously...if this movie doesn't make you feel you wanna just go out and dance...i dont know what will...
