First Impression.


4 years ago, on my first day at work, my (former) boss told me that he could judged a person by his walk. The way a person walk represents how aggressive he or she is. I'm cool with it as I knew at that time I was quick. (But mistakes came often too :( )

Today I past by someone from the office, with her head low, dragging the feet all the way to the office in slow motion. I know that we're going through all the Monday blues, but having that 'slow'
attitude is not acceptable. Alahai...

Although many claim that we could never judge a book by its cover, first impressions are very important. Everyone should look good, be confident and fun.

On the other hand, looking 'good' is very subjective. To me, red does not match with green, at all... but to some, they think that it was a match made in heaven. So don't judge too much, keep it to yourself, even in something that looks ridiculous or stupid, as long as they feel good in it, then it is cool. 

But still, walking like you're carrying a 100 kilos of burden on your back is not cool.
I repeat, not cool.

Ok... Ok Jaffrey, stop judging.

Caution.



Jika denganmu salah
Ku tak mahu yang benar

Jika denganmu rebah biarlah ku tercalar
Jika denganmu kabur
Ku tak mahu yang jelas
Jika denganmu hanyut
Biarlah aku lemas
Walau dilanda ribut
Ku sanggup kerna ku mampu
Kita berdua bersatu

Ni lirik lagu Kumpulan Forteen, Berdua Bersatu.
Saya tak ada lah baik sangat or pandai sangat jugak, tapi tak ke jahil je bunyik lirik nye?
Biar salah, biar kabur, biar lemas... asalkan kita bersatu?
Come on.

Kalau nak feel bercinta, ok la, tapi biar berpada-pada liriknya.
Sekian, terima kasih.

My Way.


Before I start, just so you know, Sitiawan's cinema has 3-D hall.
Sekian, terima kasih.

My brother and I watched My Way yesterday at the super awesome cinema of Sitiawan. Yerp, truly awesome. Tak tipu. Serius kagum dengan Sitiawan.

Anyhow, My Way was a Korean movie, directed by the same man, director of the best movie I've known so far, Taegukgi: The Brotherhood of War. So, don't find it unusual to see there's a bit of similarity between these 2 movies. Even the main actor is the same! It differs only at the time where Taegukgi happened during the Korean Civil War while, My Way was during the 2nd World War.

With total budget of 28 billion Won (USD$20 mil), there is no wonder that the cinematography graphics, bloody chaos and stunts are world class.

My Way is a very fast paced movie. Seriously, don't blink. You'll miss one important scene and wonder what happened at the next scene? Somehow the 2 hours are not enough. The secondary characters come and go very quickly, and this movie only concentrate on the relationship between these 2 men at war. Less family, less friends. That means, less emotion. What is stressed out was how they survived each days and swapping places of ups and downs. 

Nevertheless, this epic movie is still a good one to watch.
Remember, it is not about nationalism or patriotism, but somehow rather more to humanity.

 Sorry My Way, you may have your way, but still, not as good as Taegukgi.

Rate : 7/10

Preve.



I got the chance to see with my two own eyes, the new Proton Preve.
Those who didn't know, Proton is our Malaysian national car, recently sold by the Government to DRB Hicom.

Preve is the the brand of Proton which use the CFE engine after initially introduced with Exora Bold MPV. CFE is actually "Charged Fuel Efficiency". It is actually a light pressure intercooled turbochange version of the 1.6 litre engine. Simple words, it is the smaller size alternative for 2.0 litre normally aspirated engine.

Ok, let's stop being that technical.
Preve has wide huge comfortable space for passengers, comparing it with other of its class.
Huge bonnet too!
It has built in GPS and 4G wifi.
Fuel consumption is 14cent/km. 

Design wise, the best one so far for Proton. Not that 'typical' Proton type of thing.

With only RM72,999 for Premium line, it is definitely worth it. 

Well done Proton.

Resumed.


I was literally 'lost' the other day.
Seriously, it was frightening.

And as for that, I decided to resume.
Please remind me if that ever happens again.

I'll stop here.



I don't know whether I might change my mind.
But as for now, I have decided, to keep everything to myself.


I'll stop blogging.

Till then. Goodbye.

Hijrah.


Alhamdulillah.
Tanggal 23 Mac 2012, bak kata Ustaz, dia dah kembali.
Sebagai sahabat, dah jadi tanggungjawab kita untuk sama-sama mendidik dan berkongsi ilmu.
Dan untuk itu juga, dia jadi satu semangat kita sama-sama mengamalkannya.

Semoga perjuangan ini sama-sama diterimaNya. InsyaAllah.

"Apabila seseorang memeluk agama Islam dengan ikhlas, Allah akan mengampunkan semua dosa-dosanya di masa lalu. Kemudian setelah itu mulai diadakan perhitungan, pahala untuk setiap perbuatan yang dilakukannya dilipat gandakan sepuluh sampai tujuh ratus kali ganda sedangkan setiap dosa yang dilakukannya akan dicatat sebanyak dosa yang dilakukannya kecuali apabila Allah mengampunkannya." (Al-Bukhari)

A disappointment On Express Buses.



I don't know if it was only me, or is our express buses are so damn unreliable?
This was the second time in a row, I was cheated by two of our well known express bus.

I decided to take a bus a month back to Penang after work, as it seems like easier and I could relax a bit while travelling. Plus, my handsome car need some rest too after all these hectic schedules of ours. When the time comes, I walked along the terminals back and forth, for MANY ZILLIONS (ok, this sounds exaggerating) of times, but the bus was not there. I kept on going for 5 minutes later, still... no bus. So I went to the announcement counter whether my bus has arrived or not, and the lady said she's not sure since no order has been made by the operator. Then I went to the operator counter, and guess what, I missed the bus. Booo yah!

And today. I was in Parit Buntar, heading back to Ipoh. I was here the other day when I took a ride with Nine from KL. My bus was supposedly to push off at 4.30 pm, and guess what, I spent 2 hours waiting, and the bus only showed up at 6.30 pm. I almost got myself another bus, another plus plus Boooo yah!


Our advancement and development should not only take place in our infrastructure or technology, but also in the mindset of doing business. Yet, these big players seem like they were still in the third world class. Please do not commit something that you are not capable of. Seriously, you're wasting our time.
Distance should get closer as we move to the future, but today I feel otherwise.

Mary Poppin.


Hey there people.
Let me introduce to you, this is Mary Poppin. She's the best nanny in world who came from the sky.
Mary Poppin is my favorite children movie character. She's full of magical surprises which no kids will ever get bored with. She sang beautifully, she taught the children strictly and she had the joyous fun playing with them.
She came when she's needed with her umbrella, and she left when she's no longer needed. That was when the family realized that what the only thing they need was each other.
I hope you had a great time watching and experiencing the magical world of Mary Poppins when you were little, because I surely did. And for those who never got the chance, adults will still enjoy her  presence as much as the kids do.

Mrs. Bala.



I was waiting for my number to pop at the counter while waiting at the train station today, when an old punjabi lady sat next to me. Punjabi lady with their tradition attire always look good and elegantly polite to me.

She reminded me of my English teacher back when I was in secondary school, Mrs Bala. She was already a pensioner then, but my friends and I went to her tuition class right after school. There was never in my mind that I would take English as one of my extra study, but I did.

A year after that, she was not feeling that well and at first, she cancelled the class. But I guess she missed teaching so much, and I also believed that she really cared for us, she decided to get the class running, at her home. She got us tables and chairs, and also a small white board for her to teach us. The was even one time when we were having exams and gave us extra homework to do as our practice, but she marked  them a little bit late, so she drove to our school just to make sure we get those checked homework for our revision. 

Then, there's time when I came to her class, cycling in the rain, so I got little bit wet by the time I arrived. She gave me a pair of dry clothe for me to change, but I was a bit reluctant when she forced me so hard that I finally wore it. It became a joke to my friends back then. 

Mrs. Bala was a very passionate teacher. She even acted like our mother most of the time, and often, we got her mad and angry as for our childish behavior. Sheridan was her favorite. He was scolded almost everyday, and Mrs Bala even rang his mom to report how naughty he had been. Haha.

Back then, we always thought that there is something wrong with this old lady on how she acted. But today, I realize all the things that she did for us was because she truly cared.
She was definitely a great teacher. I would send my kids to her if I ever got the chance.

I heard that she had already moved to India after her husband past away.
Anyhow, I just want to wish her good health, and a happy life.
And thank you for everything you have taught me.
