Hasta Manana. Always be mine.

Syed Mokhtar AlBukhary.

Syed Mokhtar Albukhary was the second biography I read after Tun Mahathir's.

Not as well known as other billionaires in Malaysia, Syed Mokhtar is the best product of the New Economic Model (NEM) introduced by the Government back in the 1970s for the Malaysians to share the wealth of the country equally among all races. In this book, the author uncovers all the secrets of success on how he took advantage of NEM in a true nationalist, spiritual and genius way that he is, from the 'kampung boy' to the richest Malay in Malaysia today.

He took us a ride in the business world, from rice trader, to a business mogul, owning the 3 huge groups, MMC, Tradewind and DRB Hicom, his relationship with Tun Mahathir of whom he called a mentor, his family and spiritual beliefs. He shot down the accusation that people randomly made (most Malaysians do) that he won all the projects because of cronyism, but instead he worked hard and won because he deserved it.

I would say that Syed Mokhtar is a man with principles. For whatever he did, whoever he met, he'll never go against the principles that he believed in, not even for millions of ringgit. I adore him for believing in Malaysians, the people and their products. And I hope that 1 day, majority of us will think like he did. A nationalist.

"My approach is simple. When I want to do something, I do first and talk later."

"I once heard a proverb that influenced me greatly. It tells of a seed that grows to become a tree with branches. Flowers and fruits form, and when the fruits are ripe, they become heavy, causing the branches to break and fall. The lesson for is that we must always remember the seed we come from, and be humble when blessed and share good fortune. Otherwise, we are likely to break and fall."

Dear Obama.

I took this post from a Facebook page, after a day when a psychopath shocked the world, as he shot dead 20 innocent children and 6 adults at a school in the States.

And I really think it is worth sharing.

***

Obama mourns the death of children in a shoot out at school in the US. "These were beautiful kids of 5-10 yr olds, their lives (22 of them) were cut short (words to the effect). They have an entire lives ahead of them; birthdays, graduations, weddings, kids of their own...". wiping his tears

Kids are dear to us everywhere. the very same words can be uttered for those children of the same age who lives were violently ended in the 'killingfields' of Gaza.

.

We are not saying this to the Americans. "Give them a taste of their own medicine." God forbid. Our heart goes out to those children, their parents and families for such a terrible loss".

Just as we were devastated with what happened in the States, our hearts have bled profusely for our beloved children in Palestine who lost their lives from the weapons that you furnished from the taxes of your own citizens.

Obama... you were saddened because the future and the hopes of the schoolchildren were dashed by the gun man. But you were not moved at all by the children who has fallen in Gaza. because perhaps in your eyes. the latter are not worthy of any hopes and future.

HIV Test.

Don't freak out.

I'm not with HIV. It's just one of the procedure to be married here in Malaysia.

My cousin from Philippines were here a couple of weeks before, and it's new to her when she found out the procedure when I told her all the things need to be done before I got married. There is no such process in Philippines I guess.

The HIV Test form came with the Marriage Application Form from the Religious Department, where you can get it online now. If you were found positive, then I believe you'll somehow not allowed to get married as it will be dangerous to your future spouse. 

You can get your test done at any local clinics, it took less than 20minutes, to fill up the form, waiting for the queue, and get the blood sample. And there you go. It's done.

By the way, just so you know... I'm negative.

So Tok Kadi, here I come!

The myth of Israel.

This is Miko Peled, one of the Israelis General's son giving a talk on the myth of Zionist where he stressed on how double standard Israel is to the Palestinian. It might be long, but I strongly suggest you watch and listen to him, which does make sense.

We all know how unfair the world has been to Palestine.

"Ya Allah, please save Gaza and the Palestinians. Ameen."

The Time Keeper.

Another Mitch Albom's collection on the bench.

Now I'm starting to like his books after One More Day, which is truly awesome.

It's about Dor, the time keeper, Sarah Lemon and Victor Delamonte.
Dor who is someone cursed for being the first man alive to ever measure time, lives for thousands of years somewhere far, before he was sent back to Earth, where he met Sarah and Victor. He was there not to change their fate, in fact, he's there to make them realize for whatever happens, time flows and past, and you only need to live every moments and appreciate every single seconds that you have.

"Man alone measures time.
Man alone chimes the hour.
And because of this, man alone suffers a paralysing fear that no other creatures endure.
A fear of time running out."
-Mitch Albom

Calendars of Hijrah

Looking at the photo above will let you wondering. No, it's not Ramadan, nether it's Syawal.

It's Muharam! The first day of Muharam.

Muharam is the first month of Hijrah Calendar, which means today is the new year, 1434.

As many of you may know, Hijrah Calendar is according to the Lunar movement, in Islam we call it Al-Qamari. Hijrah started after Prophet Muhammad SAW moved to Madinah from Makkah to built the first ever Muslim country. The first leader who recognize Hijrah as the official Muslim Calendar is Umar Al-Khatab AS, the second 'khalifah', during the 17th years of Hijrah.

On the other hand, the calendar widely used today (including Malaysia) is the Gregorian Calendar, also known as the AD (Anno Domini). It is claimed that the calendar started at the birth of Jesus AS, and differ with the Hijrah Calendar, it is according to the movement of the sun instead, of what we Muslims call As-Syamsi. However, there are claims that Jesus AS was born years before the AD. Wallahualam.

To mark the years before AD, historians used the term BC (Before Christ). However, in between 1AD and 1BC, there is no year "0". Instead, right after 1BC, the calendar moved straight away to 1AD.

So, to all my Muslims brothers and sisters, Happy New Year, Salam Maal Hijrah.

And in Hijrah, today marks my 27th birthday.

Online Marriage Form.

I know people are very cynical on the public service, how everything is moving slowly.

I know and I could not deny it. But I think most cases were similar and most of the services provided by the Government has been improved, some are even better than what the private can offer.

One of the improvement is turning all the public related services to online.

It saves cost and time. 

One good example is the marriage form in the state of Perak.

Instead of going to the Islam Department, queuing up for the form, waiting at the counter to be served, we can just fill up the form online, complete with all the proper steps and directions.

Not more than 5 minutes, there you go, a complete form on your computer to be printed out yourself. See, the public service is not that bad after all.

Give them chance, ideas and suggestions. They will improve.

The next step would be the HIV test and I wonder if the service is as good as this one.

 

*90 days*

One Direction.

Pergh, post pasal boyband.

I was hopping from one video to another on youtube when I found the video of this group singing Chasing Cars. I know, listening to boyband is so not cool and and so gay. But actually, One Direction is surprisingly the most harmonized boyband I've ever heard. Seriously. All the members could sing, maybe not that good individually, but together, I think they sound awesome.

And I only knew that they were in X-Factor, but didn't win though.

But they really really sound good together.

AES.

(Gambar ni ambik dari mynewshub, pasal saya banyak keje lain dari nak berenti tepi jalan untuk ambek gambar AES)

Ini adalah AES. AES ni Automatic Enforcement System. Tujuan AES ni nak saman pemandu-pemandu yang  langgar lampu merah kat traffic light, or yang speeding. Rasanya dah banyak gila dipasang all over Malaysia, dekat 800 lebih lah kot. Memang Kerajaan takde duit kot nak pasang tu semua, maybe ni pon mcm private funding initiative, of course akan bagi keuntungan kat company yang pasang mende ni on behalf Kerajaan, but concept dia sama lah dengan kebanyakkan investment kat dalam negara.

Tapi bila tengok kat Facebook, banyak lah orang tak puas hati pasal pasang mende ni. Lebih-lebih lagi yang kene saman kan. Sapa tak marah kalau asyik melayang RM300 tiap-tiap kali kene 'flash' kan.  Tapi, kenapa marah kalau sendiri yang silap? Nama dia pon enforcement, dia cuma enforce. Undang-undang tu dah ada. Takkan kita nak marah just for being caught?

Ok. Mari bayangkan jap. Kita masuk Singapore yang penuh dengan kamera sepesen ni. Punya la drive hati-hati, ikut peraturan, bawak slow ikot speed limit. Tapi bila kat Malaysia, napa nak bawak mcm Nico Rosberg drive F1? That applies to Singaporeans as well. Tu laa masalah kat Malaysia. Enforcement. Semua nak jaga hati. Yang betul, boleh jadi salah. Yang salah jadi betul. Semua pasal nak jaga jati.

And let say kalau kamera ni takde, kita gune conventional way. Polis tahan tepi jalan pasal speeding. Mesti kite cakap polis nak duit kopi kan. So anyhow, semua bende akan jadi salah. So be it. If kita dah salah, then salah lah. Napa nak marah pasal orang tangkap kita buat salah kan? 

This is a start of a good, transparent enforcement.

Rasanya lepas ni enforcement kene buat untuk orang yang buang sampah merata-rata. 

(This post tak ambik kira lagi accusation yang kata ada pertukaran or penurunan speed limit pasal nak dapatkan lebih banyak saman. Kalau betul, tu dah lari niat asal dah)

Happiness and Celebration. It's KFC.

Other than cakes, Kentucky Friend Chicken, of what we call KFC is synonym to celebration and happiness.  At least to me, it is.

It all started way back when I was studying in the university with the Pakciks. 

As I said previously, again and again, Pakciks are the people who are responsible in teaching me the moderation of life. So KFC was all a big fancy feast for us. We went there twice, the most for every semester I guess. It was during my birthday and Para's. We used to call it the annual gathering, as we do it for 3 years straight. We were students, so we don't have a lot of money. But that taught me of what is important, it's not the food, nor the place. But it's the people you are with. The togetherness.

Today, we could go to fancier restaurants, but KFC is still a place that will have a special place in my heart. I would go to any KFC whenever I got good news from people whom I loved.

When a Pakciks called me and told me he got  a job at a very well known company, I went to KFC and eat, even when I was alone. It was a celebration of good news. 

When my sister decided to get married, I went to KFC.

When I got a better job, I went to KFC.

When I moved to a new home, I went to KFC.

When I got good result, yerp, where else other than KFC.

So whenever I decided to go to KFC, that does not mean I was trying to save or anything. 

It's just that I am happy and there is something to celebrate :)

Ok. Now you can call me a weirdo.

p.s. Congratulations to Pakciks Amin! He got married last Friday to Julia :))

Imagining.

Do you imagine those words that were spoken to you? Because I do.

Tell me cats do fly. Then they did. In my mind it is. 

It is normal isn't it imagining everything that was put into your head.

But some of my friends do not think so.

I strongly believe that it would be more fun when you imagine things.

Funny moments become funnier.

And I found a close friend of mine who did so. So it is not that weird after all.

Friends Equation.

When a friend said he won't bother you anymore, as it will be a burden to you, that is similar, saying that please stop  bothering your friend, as you will be a burden to him as well.

Friends are the people other than family who would be by your side at difficult time.

But when you are no longer allowed to be at someone's difficult time, that means, you are no longer a friend.

Do you understand the equation?

I just did.

Para Is A Husband!

Para and Fatin got married last week!

Jatuh hati dengan pondok ni, rasa cool gile dok sanding bawah ni.

Anyway, congratulations to both Para and Fatin. Will write some details after the Majlis Bertandang at Para's next 2 weeks.

As for now, marilah bekerja!

A Reunion.

The Spice Girls reunited once again at the Olympics London 2012 closing ceremony, which is believed to be the last performance ever by the group. To me, the Spice Girls symbolized a friendship with different personalities and backgrounds, but happens to be a unit which complete each other.

Friends will eventually split apart, they will have their own lives, be someone different, but will get back together from time to time and be who they were used to be. They don't have to call each other every single day, they don't have to meet, don't have to text, because deep in their heart, there is still and always be a place where these friends were kept untouched as their best ones ever.

So, now, I don't mind. Because I know we're still the best of friends.

Watch the Spice Girls here.

p.s. Waiting for my own 2 reunions next week and week after next. Ehem.

Johor Premium Outlets.

Now I could sleep tight peacefully knowing that I don't have to wait for another sale season to buy clothes. Yes people! I've found the shopping paradise for all shopper maniacs!
It's Johor Premium Outlets baby!

Located exactly at the Senai toll exit, you could never get lost. It has many branded & designers stores from DKNY, Guess, Gap, Coach, Ralf Lauren and G2000! Yes, I know G2000 is not as "royalty" as the others, but it suits me best. The fabric, cutting and color... my all time favorite. And just so you know, the price here is less than half of what you found at normal shopping complex. Ok, sekarang semua complex dah jadi normal since I found this JPO. Pergh.

Other than that, the rest branded items ie. watches, bags, wallets, shoes, heels are all at lower price, some are not that much, but some are really breathtaking. Giler menggigil tengok sampai nak guling-guling. Please save your money before you get there, or else you will end up crying at the end of the trip here. Also, if you're a guy, with a wife, or daughter, try your best to get them away, far far away from here as this place might be evil to your wallet causing it to torn apart without any tiny sympathy. 

I would suggest you to get there early and save some time as you might want to spend minutes to hours at every store like there are evil spirits calling you in. Those with kids, leave them at your in laws as these place are no friends with children. Playground is small at open air, it's hot. 

But other than that, I've just fall in love with this place. Two thumbs up! ^^

Ramadan & Eid Mubarak.

Ok. I've been posting this post since the first week of Ramadan, but kemalasan melanda untuk menekan post and I have to re-write again this time. And this is the first week of Syawal. Ramadan and Syawal are the two months in the Muslim calendar which have obviously significant reasons why everyone in Malaysia is celebrating it. And here are my TOP5:-

1. Bazaar Ramadan

Yerp. It's like having an everyday Pasar Malam. Ramai-ramai orang pun sanggup tolak-tolak sambil tarik rambut pasal nak beli nasik tomato RM3.50. Beli kueh, beli air, beli murtabak, beli nasik, beli mee, beli puding. Pastu bila buka, makan 3 kurma, minum air, then kata kenyang. Ikut sunnah katanya. *tiada kaitan antara hidup dan yang dah mati*

2. Raya Advertisement

Kalau dulu macam-macam advertisement pasal raya keluar TV bila dah start puasa, but this year macam tak ada. Pasal jarang tengok tv, cuma tau ada advertisement ni je pasal raya. Ni yang jadi macam phenomenon, sampai popular 2 budak ni keluar HotFM. Tapi serious sedih kan, even budak-budak tu takde pon nangis-nangis. Macam mana laa budak-budak anak yatim ni raya kan... *insaf* Iklan raya ni adalah daripada BERNAS ye, even lori yang budak-budak ni naik bukan lori beras, tapi masih BERNAS.

3. Traffic Jam

Betul, jem stroberi lah paling sedap kalau letak kat roti. Tapi jem kat highway adalah sangat tak sedap hokey. But if highway tak jem, maknanye tak raya laa tu. Biasa highway ni jem kat area towards selatan or towards utara bila sebelum raya, tapi bila dah habis raya, arah lawan laa pulak. Dulu orang kata bertolak awal-awal pagi subuh, tapi skrang ni subuh pun dah jem pe citer.... 

4. Terawikh

Ok. Napa ko letak terawikh no4? Ok. Tak sengaja ye. Huhu. Tapi sembahyang terawikh adalah something yang menjadi satu routine for the Muslims to perform during Ramadan. Terawikh ni adalah solat sunat bulan puasa yang dilakukan secara minimum 8 rakaat, nak lebih boleh. Biasa terawikh ni awal-awal penuh laa masjid, tapi lama-lama menuju ke raya, shopping complex yang penuh pasal ada diskaun baju raya 80%. *ehem, macam terkena pulak kat diri sendiri, ehem ehem*

5. Open houses!

Open house is a must during Syawal. It will dragged till the end of the month. Jadi, memandangkan kau dah tutup dapur masa bulan puasa pasal tiap-tiap hari pegi bazar ramadan, saya suggest kau teruskan lah usaha menutup dapur tu pasal bulan puasa mesti penuh open house. Hehehe.

Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri everybody!

Maaf Zahir Batin.

Semoga kita berjumpa lagi Ramadan seterusnya, ameen.

It's OK. We're still proud of you.

Tonight must be an emotional night to every Malaysians. 

Our badminton hero, Dato' Lee Chong Wei lost his gold medal to Lin Dan of China, and earn a Silver Medal instead. He then posted an apology on twitter. Imagine all the burden that all 28millions of Malaysians put on this guy. Anyhow, silver is good enough, he did his best and we're all proud of him! :)

London Olympic 2012.

Please tell me you watch the opening of London Olympic 2012.

Because it is simply awesome!

I am sure most of us know the history of Great Britain, especially those Commonwealth countries, but the opening ceremony was an event reminding us all the transitions that they have gone through, their glorious years and people.

The stadium was transformed from a country view of farming and hilly place to an industrial age of Europe. That was superb. They have performances reminding the world of whom they were, what they are proud of, musics that they loved, casts that were legendary (James Bond, Mr. Bean and Mary Poppins!). Even the Queen took part in the gimmick, 'jumping of the helicopter'.

Every Olympic opening ceremony is remarkable at its own and waiting for another 4 years after Beijing to watch this is just remarkable. But I know it would, London has been prepared even since last year when I had a visit there. The stadium was all ready!

Good luck to all Malaysian athletes!

Do you best and make us proud.

Two years after, and still.

I went to Silverstone for a visit yesterday, and that exact moment, I remember it was the date, exactly 2 years of my last day at Toshiba Electronics Malaysia, of what we all called TEM.

(gambar ehsan dari Puan Nana)

And as part of the remembrance day, I went back home, open up the lost lost folder of my photos during the  glorious days at TEM sambil makan coklat. Yerp, this was 3 years ago, we went to Burger King for birthday celebrations. I know we had rough times during work, but seeing our genuinely happy faces, we actually had many good times too. Counting back all the faces there, only 5 left. The rest has gone out, including me.

(This was my place, next to Kak Lina. We were a great team eh...)

I know time has past.

But if I'm an X-Men, what I wish the most for my specialty is to turn back time.

Yes Jaffrey, ko memang psiko.

And yes, I miss TEM :)

Roman Numbers

I was rushing preparing a paperwork just now, and my boss said that the Appendixes should be paged with roman numerals. Ok. That is cool, but when it go through big numbers till 20 plus pages, I got confused.

I am usually good with numbers. Come on, not only that good,  I am a genius.

But not with Romans. Caesar might have sentenced me to death if was ever his advisor. FOr me, Roman numerals usually comes till 13, which is XIII and no further than that. So, I checked in the wikipedia to study and do my deep research. Yes, a very deep one. And it came up, that they are really that simple.

Ok. All you have to do is to remembers these basic symbols.

1 = I

5 = V

10 = X

50 = L

100 = C

500 = D

1,000 = M

3 = 1 + 1 + 1 = III

4 = 5 - 1 = IV (1 is located in front of 5, if it is for subtraction)

And there you go. See, I am really that genius.

So, example, what is 674 in Roman?

500 + 100 + 50 + 10 + 10 + (5 - 1)

D + C + L + X + X + IV

DCLXXIV

Genius! Haha.

I really think I should write a book. @@

Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter

Yes. This may sound stupid. The American President was actually a vampire hunter.

Beware Edward Cullen!

I watched the movie of Abraham Lincoln, not the one about his biography being the President, but this one is  how he became a Vampire Slayer. Amazingly, all facts here about this legend were all correct, the wife, the son (Willie who died). It differs only how his son died, yes, what else, bitten by a vampire. Not forgetting the Civil War, the political adventure etc.

The writer was a genius, to be fair. How he arranged the facts of stories were put nicely, make sense and could be accepted, even it involves vampire. But, people, please... please don't ever put in your mind that this was actually true, even it could be, but it's not. Abraham Lincoln is truly a legend. He abolished the slavery system in America, which is HUGE contribution to the country, and to the world. Remember him as that.

... Wait. There is one thing which might not be true. In this movie, the vampire could not kill another vampire... But Edward Cullen totally can! Boo yah!

Philippines 2012: Sagada, The Mountain Province

After Banaue, we stopped by in Sagada, The Mountain Province on our way to Baguio. We past by at the highest point of the highway, which is 22,000 feet high!

Sagada is popular for its hanging coffins. It is still the funeral practices and burial customs for certain minority groups. 

The coffins were first put up at the mountain cliffs before the body was put inside later. The reason why they were buried in such ways are to bring the deceased closer to heaven. Not only the hanging ones, there are coffins that are stacked together inside a cave which are believed to exist the last 400 years. 

Besides the coffins, Sagada is also known for its outdoor activities such as hiking, cave exploring, nature hikes, waterfalls and water rafting. But as we are not in proper attire and not having the time, we decided to pass all that and proceed our journey to Baguio.

The scenery is simply breathtaking. 

But the road, it's breathless. Hehe.

Philippines 2012: Banaue

I'm currently on my 10 days trip to Philippines to attend my cousin's wedding. Right after that, my family and I decided to go for our own tour to the Northern part of Luzon, and the first place is Banaue. It took us 12 hours to get there from my mom's hometown. Kebas-kebas jugak punggung dibuatnya. Nasib baik masih berupaya untuk ke toilet.

Anyhow, Banaue is popular for its rice terraces. It is currently one of the heritage of UNESCO which is believed to exist since the last 2000 years. The weather is cooling at 20 degrees and at night it is even colder. There are no big hotels to stay though, but the good things are, there are homestays and inns. They are cheap. We got ourselves a homestay of 4 bedrooms, a hall and a kitchen which cost us only RM200. The homestay is located exactly next to the terraces which we can have a nice beautiful scenery at our room the whole day. As it is cold enough, we never need a fan. (There is no fan actually, at all).

If you like activities and want to learn about the natives, then you can help yourself by going to the Natives Inn. It is about 30 minutes drive from town and there are various activities like canoeing or pools for swimming, a hall and native home at one RM20 per person.

At town, you can find some foreigners of backpackers. It is small, but it's a place you can find market, souvenirs, restaurants, transportation of jeepneys. However, it's a shame that the amount of tourists here do no reflects the actual beauty of this place as maybe the location is a bit far with low connectivity. 

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)
