A review of Akademi Fantasi 6 akhir

Saya tak ada laa minat dengan Akademi Fantasi, but since it is one of the phenom in the country, tengok jugak lah konsert akhir dia semalam.
Stacy: No doubt she's the winner for this season, or else it would be a controvercy. Dia nyanyi walau lompat terkinja-kinja, still suara dia sangatlah sedap dan pandai sekali control suara.
Riz: Tak berapa masuk laa dengan dia ni. Semalam pon macam a bit dull, I predict dia no 3 but turned out to be the naib juara lah pulak. Tapi still, suara dia sedap...
Nubhan: Eh, lagu baru dia sedap lah? Ape tah tajuk, tapi ada Taj Mahal dalam lirik lagu dia. But among the others, suara dia lah paling best, lain daripada lain sikit, komersil lah. Tapi selalunya suara dia sure putus sana sini, but amazingly semalam sangatlah sedap. At first memang target dia no2, tapi, no3 lah pulak, tak kene...
Toi: Tak berapa jugak lah dengan dia ni. Suara dia biasa je... Nothing much to say. Lucky to get through the final, and dapat no4 pulak.
Nadia: Kesian kesian, suara sedap... tapi dapat no5 lah jugak. Sepatutnye ada chance untuk no2, just orang Malaysia tak judge daripada nyanyian sepenuhnya, unfortunately, dia masuk silap pertandingan. Maybe kalau dia masuk Malaysian Idol ke, or One in a Million, maybe her chance is bigger...
Whatever it is, I think the concept of AF is far different from others. They don't take the singing as the priority, terlalu banyak bermain perasaan orang dan penonton. I think, untuk orang-orang yang nak masuk AF, haruslah pandai mengambil hati, charming, tahu untuk menangis bila perlu...
Entah lah...

Searching for the ultimate structure

Have you seen the new Terminal 3 of China? It is incredibly HUGE. Obviously I have never seen it live, but having it shown on television did amazed me a lot. It is one million square meter terminal, with 3.8km long and 60 meter wide runaway. Besar giler ehhh...?
I went to KLIA last week to fetch my parents who are back from Philippines after a week vacation there. KLIA sangatlah lawa. Comparing to other airports that I have been to, KLIA is far better in all aspects. Tiba-tiba bangga... :-) And whenever I had any family members from abroad coming, I would be proud to have a great gate to welcome them. A good first impression of Malaysia huh?

I like to see structures, macam Putrajaya, KLIA, Penang Bridge, KLCC etc as what we all have here in this country. Hoping that someday I will have the chance to visit the Great Wall of China, dapat pergi Terminal 3 sekali, ke Rome maybe. But I still believe that the Pyramid is still the ultimate one. Someday someday, harap akan ke sana...

Talking about airport, teringat pula kisah zaman-zaman dulu. I always wanted to be a pilot.
A dream that was vanquished because of eye sight problem. Sob...

Orang di atas ni sepatutnya adalah saya sekarang, malang sekali... Haha.

Empty

A Lonesome...

The latest Siti Nurhaliza's single, Melawan Kesepian now has been my loyal companion on my way to work, as well as my way back home every single day. I wonder why the radio loves it so much. However, at this right moment, I am living the lyrics of the song...
For the past four years, I have never been left alone, I have never had my meal on my own. But today is different. Life is quite.

I used to live a dream. If only I could turn back time...

Nine visits me last week, stayed here for two nights after having his assesment with TNB. Never had the chance to hang out that much as I have to work at day time. Still, we managed to go to Putrajaya at the first night and makan sate kajang on the next day. Hehe. My brother took him to Lim Kok Wing University College and to One Utama as well. Very happy to have him around, to actually have one of 'my people' around. Without any doubt, it was one of the best days since I've been here. Looking forward to have the others here next time~


Disaster after disaster. Marilah menolong mangsa-mangsa bencana di Myanmar dan China dengan menyumbang wang ringgit seberapa yang mampu kepada mana-mana badan yang menolong. Sangatlah kasihan... Hari ini mungkin malang bagi mereka, siapa tahu di mana kita mungkin berada esok... Mungkin ini satu petanda bahawa kita semua perlu menjaga Bumi ini dengan lebih baik lagi.

Yesterday a student, Today an engineer

Now I really feel that life is really exhausting, far from I'd been through during my time in USM. [masih rindu~] I spend more than two hours everyday on the road, and it is only training for this whole month before I enter the manufacturing department in June. So I'm really not there yet as an engineer, will be soon :-) Those senior engineers said that a Process Engineer, the post I will hold later isn't as easy as it seems. Leaving the factory at 8 or 9 at night everyday is common to them, which should be the same for me as well in the future. *sigh* However, it is not the time that I would spend there that matters, but the time I spend on the road, tiring~ It is the sacrifices I had to do, maybe for the next 2 years until my little bro gets to finish his degree. So for now, at least there is someone to watch over him after my sis gets married in August.

Sekarang saya sangatlah menghargai tidur... Rasa macam nak tidur 12 jam sehari macam Nazul buat tiap-tiap hari...

Alhamdulillah, I'm really glad & lucky that I had been given the chance to have Toshiba as my employer. Everything that I go through so far is great, everything is really far better than I expected. It's a Japanese company, and everything has be in order as it is in Japan. It is good chance to learn the good ethique that they have, the discipline so that Malaysians like us will improve and be a more respected nation. :-) Hopefully someday... Now I'm really looking forward for a better tomorrow, and day by day, I see a good future ahead, hoping that I'm going in the right direction~

p.s. Happy Mothers Day to my only queen of my heart, mama, Angelita Bautista Zainol@ Rahayu binti Abdullah~ who is currently in Philippines! I love you~ Same goes to all mothers~!

a life on the highway



Last week was a chaotic week. The time has gone so fast, moving out from USM to my home in Manjung to Kuala Lumpur.

DAY 1: I left USM with all my stuffs, sedih... Everything was so damn perfect, with a happy life to be left behind, but life goes on. I drove from Transkrian to Ipoh. I didn't take the exit at Changkat Jering since I was expecting to meet Nazul. We met at Sungai Perak and had our farewell there. HuHu... Then from Ipoh, I drove all the way to Manjung.

Total hours spent on the road: 2 1/2 hours

DAY 2: Me with my parents, with some of my stuffs went to KL as I would be staying with Kak Ita and Zaliyudin later on when I start my work at Toshiba Electronics. It was an exhausting day, to unpack all of my stuffs, plus having to turn around all the new furnitures that my parents bought, hoho... Ada katil, almari. Yeah...

Highway skrang dah ada 3 lane, best...


Total hours spent on the road: 4 hours

DAY 3: I accompanied my parents back to Manjung, leaving my Kancil at KL. Kak Ita was with us as well since she was still waiting to her transfer to UPM from Lim Kok Wing.

Total hours spent on the road: 4 hours

DAY 4: I took a bus to Butterworth at 8.30 in the morning, before heading to Parit Buntar at noon. Nazul fetched me up. Nampaknye hari tu kat Sungai Perak bukanlah our last farewell... hehe...

It's been years the Butterworth Bus Station is located under a fly over, it's ashame to be one of the popular stop for foreign tourist...


Total hours spent on the road: 5 hours

DAY 5: After having all my reports done and approved, I headed to Ipoh with Nazul. [Kami, pakciks sempat mengadakan farewell terakhir kami sebelum tu, perfect goodbye... :'( ] Nazul dropped me at Ipoh's bus station and took a bus straight to KL. And after 10 minutes on the bus, I realized...

"Alamak... terlupa ambil medical check up dalam kereta nazul... damn..."

Total hours spent on the road: 5 hours

DAY 6: Terpaksalah ke rumah Nazul mengambil medical report yang tertinggal. It seems that Nazul just couldn't let me go, saja buat saya terlupa medical check up nye report. Haha...

Total hours spent on the road: 4 hours

It was a very very very exhausting week, and esoknya terus demam on my first day at work. Dan yang menariknya, I have to drive 2 hours every day to go to work. Nampaknya hidup akan terus berada di atas jalan raya...

Sayang jalan raya... (^^,)v

p.s. Rindu mereka...
