Hopeless

I have this policy in life.

"Never regret. Any mistakes done during the journey of my path of life is part of the learning point not to repeat them again"

But I wonder sometimes whether I was mistaken on claiming some decisions I made was actually a real "mistake". Or is it nothing...

I always thought that you have to be the person whom you are judging, in order to understand him, or her. What made him/her that way? What lead him to the decision he/she made?

But when someone destroys what you have believed in for so many years, you start to think twice. Even the decision made by him/her is acceptable... you still have to think twice.

I believed in friendship.

I believed in hopes.

I believed in loyalty.

Now everything is faded away... I have nothing to believe in.

And now I'm this hopeless man without any trust left for anyone...

"Happy New Year! 2009!"

A dedication

Cuba kau dengar

meluahkan rasa hati

Dan bila kau bersuara

Setia ku mendengar

Agar tenang kau merasa

Siapa Sebenarnya aku padamu

Mungkin sama dengan teman lain

Yang bisa kau buat begitu

Dan bila Tiada lagi teman bermain

Kau pulang tuk dapatkan aku

Itulah aku padamu

Pernahkah kau ada

Bila ku perlu Tuk menyatakan rasa sakit Dalam diri

Dan bila kau perlu Setia ku menunggu

Agar senang kau merasa

Maafkan kerana aku tak pernah

Terlintas tuk menulis pada mu

Salahkan ku

Tak mungkin lagi aku meminta

Untuk kau mendengar

Untuk kau melihat ke mataku

Well said by the lyric of the song by Faizal Tahir...

Meaning of life?

I stopped at pump station last Friday while on my way back to Perak.

While waiting for a full tank, someone on a wheel chair stopped near me. He smiled...

"Muda-muda dah pakai kereta besar"

Well, Gen2 tak ada laa besar kan. But I replied, "Saya tak ada laa muda sangat". I feel ashamed, a bit as I don't need any big effort in owning a car, with the help of my parents of course and knowing that many out there were working their butt off just to get their life going while here I am, 23, and having quite a good and easy life, with the help of my parents again of course. This is what we call Rezeki.

"Nama siapa?" I asked, watching and trying not to show any sympathy. "Amir"... [tibe-tibe teringat kat amir]. I felt very sorry for him, he don't have both legs and left arm. All that he has is his right arm and he's only 21. We got ourselves into a couple minutes of conversation on his plan to continue his study on Tahfiz. He's a nice kid...

It seems like life is unfair. But never forget, Tuhan itu Maha Adil. Having all the wealth and health do not mean that life would be easy. Ujian duniawi itu satu cabaran yang kita sendiri kadang-kadang lupa. Wealth is only something that is lend by God for us to show what is the real meaning of life.

Wish you the very best, Amir.

Enough of You

I think I am a good person

Not the best, yet not that bad

Why do you treat me this way

I want to be appreciated

I want to feel the presence

Still what I received is your absence

I had enough...

My best friend

I don't have to tell any secrets... because my best friend knows everything.

Saja laa wat post ni, pasal tengah bengang sket, tapi whatever it is, my best friend will remained the best as it is to him I will turned to at every high and low moments since he understand me the most.

Selamat Hari Raya Aidiladha. [apa kaitan tah...]

Movies review

You know what, I've been to movies every week since the last two months. Tak pernah dibuatnya, but very suddenly when I start to get comfortable with some other of my colleueges, everything is just fine, release tension kan and there is some more things that we can add into our conversations other than WORK.

The latest I watched is twilight. The hero is super duperly macho gile with a very sweet innocent girl. The story line is OK, mix with some romantic scenes sikit, action pon sikit, I would not consider it as 'perfect', but the characters give a very huge extra points to the movie. Tatau laa ngape, tapi hero dia memang sangatlah bergaya mengalahkan james bond. Oh, he's a vampire by the way... bukan superman or batman. Then he falls in love with a normal human being and there the story started. Sangatlah best kalau tengok bersama girlfriend. :-) [ 8/10 ]

Then, the previous week I watched Antoo Fighter. For a Malaysian movie, the graphic is the best one I've seen so far. Sangatlah lawa... but sadly, the storyline is empty and I think Radhi OAG is not the perfect main role. Ada babak yang sangat-sangatlah kelakar giler, but at some scenes plak membuatkan saya tertanya-tanya, "kenapa perlu ada babak ni? macam tak perlu pun tak ada effect apa-apa...." [ 6/10 ]

Anyhow, saja lah nak stressed out kan kat sini, saya rasa, watching a Malaysian movie is not that bad laa. We should give our people a chance to grow, takkan nak expect Malaysia movie macam foreign movies kan. But a chance is important for a Malaysian brand, and never to forget, we are ourselves a Malaysian brand. Rejecting the local brand, means we are rejecting ourselves.

Ooooh, ni lagi satu movie that you should never miss~! Madagascar 2 - Escape to Africa. Sangat-sangatlah hillarious~! Sesuai untuk bersama seisi keluarga. Cewah. Tapi cerita dia tak ada laa light sangat, tapi sangatlah santai. Funny, but with a very deep messages. Tatau nak review apa, pasal ingat Madagascar, ingat ketawa. Hehehe... [ 8/10 ]

My past three days

Last weekend I went Karaoke with my colleages. We spent about 6 hours at a room having all our 'superb' talented voice out loud. Hehe, It was fun, really really fun. Actually I'd already gone for karaoke for some times with Pakciks, but none of that time got me singing.

"Sorry pakciks, last time memang nak nyanyi dengan korang, tapi kan tak jadi p karaoke last day hari tu... "

Faezah caught us on video, I'll post it later when I got them. Ok~ Exclusive... hehe.

***

Just now I met Sakura, with Reef and Leaa. Tapi rasa penat sikit... We are suppose to spend the day at Ulu Yam, but a miscommunication membuatkan semuanya terbantut. Cewah. Maybe next time... Lagipon penat hari ni, semalam kerja seharian...

In 1 week, I like having one day for 'lepak'ing, baring-baring having my day gone in front of TV or computer for the whole day, a 'Hari Malas' I would say. Sunday usually is the day. But having meeting with some old friends were precious.

***

Lately banyak certia pasal cerai-cerai. Bukan those I know laa, tapi artis-artis. Sometimes I wonder.... Is 'talak' something yang diorang boleh main sebut-sebut ikut suka hati? Takkan laa they don't really know how the word 'cerai' or 'talak' kan really mean something serious? Ikut sedap mulut kau je nak jatuh talak. Pastu terhegeh-hegeh nak rujuk... Tak malu~ bwekk~

***

When you are not listening~!

I am so damn furious with some people who acts like they don't have the sence of hearing or seeing!

Ada mata tengok, ada telinga dengar! It's very weird to have these people actually survived~

Those out there who have responsibilities to the people around you, use your sences wisely. Listen~ It is not difficult to have people not to hate you.

[mode yang benganglah sangat...]

Actually nak cerita pasal pergi Penang last week. Tapi esok laa ye, dah tengah malam ni...

shyguy

I met Haidi and Rifqah last nite. Penat tiba-tiba pasal bercakap tanpa henti. Actually saya ni pendiam orangnya, tapi bila berjumpa dan you find that I talk and talk and talk and keep on talking, that should be a great thing. That means I'm quite comfortable with you.

;-) Tiba-tiba rasa dapat motivasi kembali selepas berjumpa kawan-kawan lama. Tapi Peje akan bertukar kerja kat Penang, kuranglah majoriti pakcik yang ada kat Selangor lepas ni...

Happy 23rd birthday untuk En.Nine yang semakin tua hari ni~! Nine adalah salah seorang pakcik, dan antara yang banyak persamaan dengan saya. Saya rasa la... Banyak bende yang kita sama-sama suka. Haha..

Tak lupa juga happy belated birthday to Cik Rif and Cik Fatin (30 Oct)

Dan super belated birthday to a very old friend of mine, Cik Sarah (21 Oct) Believe it or not, this year means saya dah kawan dengan Sarah 17-18 years.

Happy?

Am I happy?

I was happy... But currently I am falling to a down point.

"Adat orang bekerja" = stress

Haha. If only it's not true. Is there any jobs out there which satisfying? Saya pun tak tahu... Maybe I am lack of motivation, marilah seorang gadis cantik masuk ke department saya dan menjadi assistant saya. I really need one. LoL~

Tapi kalau perempuan cantik macam mana pun bila masuk department saya sure turns into a witch punya rupa lepas beberapa bulan bekerja.

Just be grateful... motivasi saya setakat ni. :-)

Kahwin kahwin kahwin

Semua orang pun bercakap pasal kahwin...

Why rushing? Saya sendiri pun tak paham. Kerja memberikan impak yang besar jugak rupanya.

"Bila nak kahwin?"

Arh, stress mendengar soalan tu. Kenapa perlu kahwin sekarang? Baru je 23... Tapi satu keluarga dah bertanya? Excited semacam. Masa kakak saya kahwin, sempat juga mereka bermesyuarat plan untuk majlis perkahwinan saya... Cincin pun sudah ada~ Sigh... Mungkin ini akibatnya lahir sebagai lelaki pertama dalam keluarga ayah saya yang juga pertama dalam keluarga. Macam kerabat diraja pulak, putera makhota kena kahwin cepat2. Owh, mungkin saya perlu buat majlis tari menari menantikan Cinderella muncul bersama kereta pumpkin. Arh, moden sikit, mungkin tak naik kereta pumpkin, naik kereta BMW mungkin. Wah, kaya betul cik si pari-pari memberikan Cinderella BMW... [apa saya merepek ni...?]

Tipulah kalau saya kata saya tak pernah terpikir pun nak kahwin, tapi saya rasa saya perlu sedikit masa. Banyak benda yang saya perlu fikirkan... Kalau lah saya ada girlfriend sekali pun, saya tak ada laa nak kenalkan kepada seluruh dunia unless saya sendiri dah yakin yang si dia lah pilihan saya. cewah~

I was wrong, I shouldn't wait giving you up... impossible love. ;-)

Datuk Nicol Ann David...

bagus-bagus, she deserved it, maybe someday patut dia jadi Tan Sri :)

Datuk Sheila Majid :)

Ok jugak, lately she's been the ambassador for IJN for quite some time.

Tapi... Datuk Shah Rukh Khan...??

aRH, kenapa macam susah nak diterima akal ni? Ape jasa dia kepada negara? Kepada rakyat Malaysia? Ooowh, mungkin dia telah menghiburkan penonton-penonton TV? Tapi kenapa tak bagi Rosham Nor ke... Heh? Konpius sekejap...

Lepas ni saya tak terkejot laa kalau ada Datuk Britney Spears...

Atau mungkin Tan Sri Michael Jacson... wah...

Maybe the government should review on this Datukship matter. Macam kelakar je jadinya... Saya nak jadi Datuk pun dah jadi segan. Haha~

Nilai sebuah perkataan

Tahu tak perkataan apa paling mahal kat dunia ni?

"Sorry...."

Dulu perkataan tu tak pernah wujud dalam kamus hidup saya. Sama ada diungkapkan sendiri perkataan tu, atau menerimanya daripada orang lain, tak pernah pun dibuat secara ikhlas. Mungkin ada jugak disebut masa "Maaf zahir batin" dalam kad-kad raya, tapi sangatlah berbeza perasaan itu.

Tapi mujur ada seseorang yang mengajar saya erti kemaafan itu. Perkataan 'maaf' itu mula menjadi satu tabiat, dengan lebih ikhlas I would say... Dia kata, tak pernah rugi apa pun kalau kita yang mintak maaf. Memang betul, dan sejak itu, saya mula mengenal erti 'kalah' ataupun 'mengalah'... Even kadang-kadang saya rasa saya betul, tapi tetap rasa saya perlu minta maaf.

Tapi lama-lama, bila 'maaf' itu menjadi rutin biasa, nilai perkataan tu macam dah tak ada. Saya pun macam dah penat nak mengalah dah. Selalu jugak tanya kat diri sendiri, kenapa mesti saya yang mengalah bila obviously saya betul? Bukan nak rasa ego, kalau saya rasa saya salah, saya mintak maaf lah, tapi bila dah orang lain buat salah, kenapa perlu saya?

Memang tak rugi apa bila meminta maaf... Tapi tak rugi kah perkataan itu bila nilai perkataan tu bagaikan tiada bagi sesetengah orang?

Selamat hari raya aidilfitri, maaf zahir batin.

Aidilfitri in Singapore

As usual, I went to Singapore for Aidilfitri, spent 3 night there this year.

What was so special this year's Aidilfitri was that we had Kak Anna and Abg Ayie joining us for the first time in 2 years, and what else, we had AMIRUL as well! Hip hip hurray!

Geylang has been the loyal welcomer for us every raya, a place where we can shop till 5 in the morning for baju raya, or if we already had one, then maybe you can shop for baju raya next year, or maybe 2 years ahead...? Oh well, who cares? But this was a bit dissapointing, not much were offered. Baru ingat nak shopping baju raya untuk raya ke-2 tapi tak jumpa idaman hati. Kecewa [sikit lega jugak jugak tak lah keluar duit... lupa nak bitau, this year is the first one after keje, so kene spend sendiri laaa... no longer ada Mak Bapak Finance MBF]

As Kak Anna & Abg Ayie only had 1 day raya with us [Kak Sabiqiah - Abg Ayie's sister is getting enggaged on the 2nd raya], we had to rush and complete all the houses of Baba's siblings, 7 of then in 1 day. Amazingly we completed it earlier, at 12 midnight. Selalunya pukul 3 - 4 pagi baru habis raya... Huhu... Ajaib.

Since dah habis raya on the first day, 2nd day was filled with shopping time. Pegi Orchard road, tak sangka pulak semua macam murah-murah. Sangatlah teruja ke sana dan ke sini membeli baju. Oh, Zali was so lucky being the last one in the family untuk lahir... Dia dapat PSP. Sangatlah jeles walaupun minat bermain game dah tak ada. Murah laa Singapore, next time mahu bawak extra money untuk shopping, sori yerr adik-adik and anak-anak sedare, maybe next time takleh naik lagi duit raya, nak shopping lah... haha.

Raya ke3... dah balik. Penat...

Raya ke4, which is today... morning got the chance to go raya with some schoolmates, Mas, Sidah and Siti. Semua pon sembang nak kahwin, isk isk... Then i went to Bota, singgah raya rumah Nizam before heading to Nazul's house. Heheh. Gembira... =)

Anyway, Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri to everyone, doesn't matter who you are, what race are you. Maaf Zahir Batin... Sorry for any misbehaved or whatever which hurts anyone of you. Aidilfitri is all about forgiveness.

Ramadhan

Many misunderstood that Ramadhan is all about fasting, abstaining self from food and drinks at day time, but actuall Ramadhan is more than that. It's the month for the Muslims to re-evaluate themselves on their lives.


During Ramadhan, every part of the body should be retrained. The toungue must be restrained from backbiting, or gossip~ The eyes must be restrained from unlawful or things that are not nice or allowed to be seen =), well understood. The hand must be restrained from touching or taking anything that does not belong to it. The feet also must be restrained from going to sinful places. In this case, every part of the body is actually fasting.


The Muslims believe that in this holy month, the devils are locked in hell, and every sinful actions done during this month comes from the humans themselves and that is why, Ramadhan is the perfect month to practice from doing such things.


Aha, one other thing. In Ramadhan, we as Muslims should pay our 'Zakat' which will goes to those who needed them. =) I've paid mine for the first time, anda bila lagi? Cewah.


So, happy Ramadhan to every one of you. May this month will be the best one out of all, Insyallah =)

16 September 2008

Oh tidak, saya bukan nak cerita pasal Anwar Ibrahim yang kononnya nak jadi Perdana Menteri pada hari ini, yang kenyataannya tidak~

Tapi 16 September adalah hari jadi saya.

Hari jadi bukanlah hari raya. Hari jadi boleh dikatakan "your day", ataupun "my day". Pada hari "my day" inilah kita tahu siapa sebenarnye yang mengingati hari-hari sebegini.

Jadi terima kasih kepada kawan-kawan yang mengingati saya pada hari ini. Yang sempat wish, call tengah-tengah malam walau saya mamai dan pagi-pagi tak ingat siapa yang call =p soreee... yang hantar sms, emails, testimonials on friendster, yang bagi hadiah.

Dan yang bermakna sekali adalah terima kasih buat semua kakak-kakak dan adik saya yang menemani saya pada hari yang bermakna :-p It's a perfect way to celebrate "my day"

Tak lupa untuk pakcik-pakcik yang ada kat Selangor yang menemani saya celebrate birthday saya lebih awal last weekend di Putrajaya, seharian suntuk.

Seronok bila kita tahu ada yang mengingati, sedih bila sedar ada yang lupa... dan juga serba salah bila ada yang ingat tapi kita yang lupa.

Selamat hari jadi ke-23 jaffrey =)

USM BERJAYA DIPILIH SERTAI PROGRAM APEX

USM berjaya dipilih sertai program ApexPUTRAJAYA: Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM) hari ini berjaya dipilih untuk menyertai Program Pemacuan Untuk Kecemerlangan atau Apex dengan mengetepikan tiga lagi universiti, termasuk Universiti Malaya (UM).

Menteri Pengajian Tinggi, Datuk Seri Mohamed Khaled Nordin, berkata pemilihan USM adalah berdasarkan kepada pelan tranformasi dan kesediaannya untuk berubah seperti yang terkandung dalam kertas cadangannya, memenuhi kriteria pemilihan yang diperlukan.

“Pemilihan bagi program Apex tidak hanya melihat kepada pencapaian dan kecemerlangan lepas tetapi lebih kepada perancangan masa depan serta sama ada universiti itu dapat mencapai status bertaraf dunia dalam tempoh yang diberikan iaitu lima tahun,” katanya semasa mengumumkan pemilihan USM di sini hari ini. Katanya, dalam tempoh itu, USM mesti berada di antara 100 universiti terbaik dunia dan berada di dalam senarai 50 universiti terbaik dunia pada 2020. “Kita lihat dulu bagaimana kejayaan USM selepas itu barulah keputusan dibuat sama ada akan terdapat satu lagi universiti dipilih untuk program Apex,” katanya.

Ditanya mengapa UM sebagai universiti tertua negara tidak terpilih, Mohamed Khaled berkata: “Pemilihan USM tidak bermaksud universiti lain akan dipinggirkan sebaliknya diharapkan ia akan menjadi perangsang kepada universiti yang tidak terpilih untuk terus berusaha mencapai status yang lebih baik dan bertaraf dunia.” Sebanyak sembilan universiti seluruh negara telah menghantar permohonan dan hanya empat universiti iaitu USM, UM, Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM) dan Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM) disenarai pendek. Kertas cadangan USM bertemakan “Transforming Higher Education for a Sustainable Tomorrow”.

Universiti Apex ialah pengiktirafan yang diberikan kepada IPT tempatan yang menjadi penanda aras di peringkat dunia dalam bidang pengajian tinggi dan dijanjikan autonomi daripada segi kewangan, skim perkhidmatan, pengurusan, pengambilan pelajar, kepemimpinan tertinggi dan penetapan yuran pengajian. — Bernama[dipetik dari versi online Berita Harian - 3 September 2008]

Saya

Hari ni pakcik amir sms saya, kata dia tengah makan cekodok sorang-sorang.

Waah, rindunya makan cekodok di hari-hari petang bersama.

Kenapa saya suka pakciks...

Kerana baik buruk, cacat cela atau sempurna, saya tetap 'saya' di mata mereka...

Graduation Day

15th of August is the day I'd been looking forward to since the day I left campus.

Besides receiving the scroll after 4 years of study, meeting with friends, buddies and pakciks are a very worthwile moments even it lasted only for couple of minutes, since everything pon agak kelam-kabut since the beginning.

Seronok sangat...

Thanks for the presents, flowers jugak kepada yang memberi, mama, baba, kak anna, shafiqah, sara, kilau etc. Thanks =)

Now, an official farewell to USM, a farewell to all the good memories. Pasti rindu...

p.s. sikit kecewa tak sempat jumpa para...

My Precious

Last time, my ex-roommate selalu cakap

"Lagu ni ingatkan aku kat hang, lagu ni pulak selalu ingatkan aku kat si polan-polan"

See, I have this one box that I kept all my things, maybe semua pun not that valuable, but they remind of the important people and moments. Macam raya or birthday I received since past 8 years, bila baca balik macam seronok balik, that I actually had these friends who actually care to write me a card. Then ada surat-surat cintan, kad-kad top-up untuk mengingatkan saya yang banyak telah dibelanja kepada telefon, slip-slip peperiksaan.

Like my ex-roommate, saya ada jugak lagu-lagu yang mengingatkan saya kepada kawan-kawan saya. Macam lately, lagu Yovie & Nuno, yang Nazul on 24 jam masa hari terakhir kat USM, Mimpi Tak Sudah untuk Nine, lagu-lagu jiwang Sofaz yang Ewan suka, lagu Barney and friends mewakili Reef, Bunga Citra Lestari kat Anis, Peterpan yang Amir suka etc.

Sama jugak dengan hadiah-hadiah yang saya terima jugak, I kept them in the box of precious as well. Takde laa nak dipamerkan dalam almari ke apa-apa, cuma saya tak nak mereka berhabuk, or terletak merata-rata sampai hilang.


Jadi, the main point is that, sometimes kalau kamu terjumpa kotak kismis yang kosong, or tin air yang saya simpan dalam bilik saya, janganlah salah paham dan buang, kerana behind these 'trash' that some of you would say, adalah harta yang ternilai harganya buat saya.

My precious...

Me on the road

I've been spending hours on the road everyday for the last two months and a number of interesting episodes I would like to share here.

People here in Kuala Lumpur are fast, driving 100km/h on the federal roads would cost me some horns. Oh, maybe the sign 110km/h on the highway is not actually the maximum speed, it's minimum isn't it? That is the reason why I got lost every single time, belum sempat mengeja perkataan nama tempat and the arrow, dah kena hon. Cis~

Last time I went to KLIA with Nine, believe it, pergi sana just nak pergi bank. Haha~ Tahu tak, bukan atas jalan raya je, dalam parking pon kitorang sesat. We spend 40 minutes at the parking area, from floor to floor before realizing we are at different parking building. Sengal, nine on nine. Haha...

Then last weekend, I went back home to Perak and on my way back, at Kayan (a kampung before reaching Teluk Intan), I was stucked in a heavy traffic jam for an hour. Percaya tak dalam kampung pon boleh traffic jam? Oh, correction. Bukan traffic, but police jam. I really don't understand why the police has to cause such incidents. Buang masa tau...

Just now complain about how fast everyone is, but now it's about how slow some people could be... Haha. Nothing ever reach my satistfaction huh~ Hehe. But imagine lorries are conquering the road on every lane there for 20km? Kiri kanan depan belakang lori. "Heavy vehicles, keep left!" Manalah tak stress bila datang ngan balik kerje~ :-p

Yesterday pulak, ada kayu besar terpelanting kat tengah-tengah highway sampai terkena kereta saya. Oh sedih... Dah kemik kereta kesayangan yang banyak berjasa, lampu pun dah pecah. :-( Kesian kereta... Mana datang kayu-kayu ni, ada ke orang bertukang tengah-tengah highway. Oh, maybe datang dari lori...

So these are some stories about my life on the road.

p.s. Next week I will be moving to Klang, far nearer to my workplace as I have turned into a workaholic guy. Dulu tak suka panas-panas tengah hari, but lately saya sangatlah merindui matahari terik di waktu-waktu begitu. Asyik-asyik balik kerja je nampak bulan... Mana matahari... mana...?

Niat

Sometimes I wonder, what are the intentions of some people on their doings?

The politics here in Malaysia, from day to day is turning into a big circus with old clowns telling lies to steal the crowds to themselves. People are forgetting the intentions, "nawaitu", in becoming a leader, an "imam" to the people. Leaders today are those who has the greatest ability to get their opponent's skeleton out of their skeleton.

Dalam erti kata lain, hebatlah seseorang itu jika dia berjaya menunjukkan bahawa lawannya lebih buruk daripadanya.

Dunia...

The same goes with advertisements. Take for example, the phone network like maxis, celcom, digi or umobile. Some do forget their "niat", their "nawaitu" towards their customers. Each are competing which network can bamboozle their customers more.

Kenapa setiap di sebalik niat baik, pasti ada niat buruk?

Last time, selalu ingat, "Niat itu penting..." but now, I guess we should add some lines beneath.

Niat itu penting, tapi niat tak pernah menghalalkan cara...

On the 25th of June 2008, I am officially an uncle. :-)




My sister gave birth to a baby boy, Amirul Shafwan bin Syuhairi. The meaning of the name is 'Pemimpin yang Ikhlas', cewah... Amin~

Tak jemu-jemu tengok muka dia. :-) Saya dah ada obsesi baru...

Cerita saya...

Hari ni saya demam. Tapi tak ada siapa yang kisah, tak ada siapa yang tanya... Masing-masing sibuk bercerita kisah-kisah menarik hari ni...

Jadi cuma saya nak beritau kat blog...

"Saya tak sihat hari ni, janganlah risau, saya dah makan ubat..."

How you can save petrol?

Semalam naikkan minyak, hari ni bagi rebat, esok turunkan cukai, then nak bagi gaji 2 kali sebulan? Macam-macamlah, daripada bagi semua bende-bende tu, kenapa tak naikkan sikit je harga minyak? Sama jugak kan? Naik minyak, pastu bagi macam-macam. Sekarang, akibatnya semua harga barang dah naik. Terima kasih Paklah~

Rasa macam semakin hari semakin mengarut je yang jadi kat negara nih.

Neway, berapa-berapa harga minyak sekali pun, we still need to use jugak kan? So, how actually you can save petrol? Here are some tips that I found from newspapers, and on the net as well.

1. Drive smoothly. Aggresive driving can use as much as a third more fuel than safe driving. Avoid accelerating or braking too hard and try to keep you steering as smooth as possible. This actually works, dah pernah try... [Selamat tinggal Jaffrey Schumacher... sob]

2. Use higher gear, the higher gear you drive in, the lower engine speed is, which can improve fuel efficiency. So, change up a gear whenever you can without labouring the engine. Ada paham? [Maybe next time, keluar rumah, terus masuk gear 5, arasso?]

3. Tune and service your engine. A well tuned engine can improve fuel economy by up to 4%, so change your oil and follow your car manufacturer's recommendation on servicing.

4. Keep your tyres at the right pressure. Tyres under-inflated by just 1psi can reduce fuel efficiency by as much as 3%. An under or over-inflated tyre is also more susceptible on failing.

5. Avoid carrying excess weight. For every extra 45kg you carry, your fuel efficiency drop by 1 to 2%. So keep your boot or back seat clear of unnecessary items that just add weight to your vehicle. [Kalau ada member yang dok bising-bising at the back seat, bukak tingkap baling dia keluar... haha~]

6. Keep the windows closed. Wind blowing through an open window will slow you down. To compensate, you may put yout fut down harder, using more fuel. [Letak gam kat tingkap lepas ni]...

7. Use the correct oil. Always use the recommended grade of motor oil. Using the manufacturer's recommended lubricant can improve fuel efficiency by 1 to 2%. Higher quality motor oils can also hel your engine operate more efficiently. [Janganlah gune diesel untuk membawa kancil atau waja, harap maklum]

8. Cruise control on major roads helps you maintain a constant speed, and many cases, will improve fuel consumption.

9. Avoid excess idling, idling gets you nowhere but still burns fuel. Turn the engine off when you are in a queue or waiting for someone until you need it.

So, maybe with these tips will help us in saving petrol. :-)

A tribute 2004-2008

Minyak oh Minyak...

As we all know, the petrol price in Malaysia has gone up up and away from RM1.92 to RM2.70. Yay! Well done!

Well, I truly understand why the government increased the price almost 40% as it reaches $138 setong. And that is too much to take. Lagipun, until when the people should be dependent on the subsidy given. I think we have to learn to get into reality.

Tapi kasihan juga kepada mereka yang berpendapatan sederhana dan rendah. And also those who lives in Sabah and Sarawak. If we're comparing ourself with Singaporeans or Brunei's on the price of petrol, for sure kita lagi rendah, but we should never forget to compare on the salary and wage that they get, is far higher that we have here. So how could that be fair?

Ok, forget about the price. What I am not satisfied mainly is on the announcement of the price. Remember that, early this year Pak Lah gave his words, that if there is any increment on the price of petrol, the government will anounce it earlier so that the people will get ready and prepared by the time. Tapi tengok-tengok, after one meeting with the cabinet, they increased the price the next day after it. Sengal tak? Mana lah tak jem satu Malaysia...

And if the governement wanted so badly to increase it to 78 cents, fine, but get it done smoothtly, sikit-sikit laa naik, maybe 20cents, then another 20cents, takde laa terkejut sampai macam ni. Dah laa terkejut satu hari dah ada announcement esok naik harga, terkejut lagi naik 78sen. Boleh sakit jantung tau macam ni. Patut laa hayat hidup manusia kat Malaysia makin rendah... Isk isk isk. [sigh]

Neway, congratulation Pak Lah. Your surprise sangatlah menjadi... Lain kali pasang belon banyak-banyak, pukul 12 jerit dalam TV, "MINYAK NAIK HARGA LAGI!!!"....

p.s. It's easy to lose a trust, but difficult to regain it back...

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...

Missing These Days...

You're going to miss this
You're going to want this back
You're going to wish these days
Hadn't gone by so fast
These are some good times
So take a look a around
You may not know it now
But you're going to miss this
