Smashing Pumpkin's Reunion

Assalamualaikum and Good Afternoon

Last Saturday i went to my school reunion in Kelana Jaya. It was a small one but enough to bring back memories from our schooling days in Labu. It was fun and i feel that we should do this more often. But this is not our first reunion though, there were other series of reunions before, but this one is the first in two years if i'm not mistaken.

So like any other reunions, we did what people usually do. Recollecting the moments we had in smap, kutuking the wardens and offcourse comparing who has got the biggest 'spare tyres':) Generally, most of the boys have grown bigger (or should i say 'wider') and most of the girls didnt change much.

Most of my schoolmates are doing well with their lives. Some are lawyers, some work as execs with telcos, lecturers, phd holders etc, etc. As for me, i think i'm doing ok lah, nothing spectacular but ok lah :) since i'm a gomen servant, they dont ask much lah, coz most poeple know what gomen servants do. save me some time to explain my job to them :)

The menus were kerang bakar (btw what's kerang in english eh? i just realized that i didnt know that), bbq chicken, chicken rice, nasi himpit and etc etc etc. More than enough to accomodate everyone.

Oh yeah, i went there alone, my wife decided not to come at the 11th hour coz she was feeling tired. Alif oso didnt want to come with his abah coz he wanted to play with his cousins. ok gak tu, if not i had to be the part time lifeguard at the swimming pool coz u know lah bebudak kalo dah jumpa air kan :)

All in all, everything went very well and everybody was happy. We managed to revitalized the bond we had and still have. Most important thing is that after the reunion is that you know that you still have friends all around you and they are ever willing to be part of your life.

Ok lah peeps, gotta go now. Enjoys the pics :)

Me, the Angkatan Buang Tua ( Alif Ba Ta) and Salman. Btw the three of them are in the middle in case any of you are interested :)

Assalamualaikum and Goodday

Hari Raya is just around the corner eh? Frankly, The excitement of Hari Raya has oredi started to seep thru me lah. I dunno why, but this year's raya seems to excite me a little bit. Mebbe bcoz of the new environment and mebbe bcoz i've managed to fulfill my wife's demands this year. Seronok oii kalo dapat happykan isteri nih. And mebbe bcoz she didnt ask much this year :)

However, there's one thing that upsets me this year. i think this would be my worst ramadhan of recent years. i was not able to really concentrate on ramadhan due to my work. so i couldnt feel the joy of ramadhan. kekadang tu sedih gak when i realize that ramadhan is nearly over and i did so little to take advantage of this holy month. sayang ah. hopefully umur aku panjang till next ramadhan.

Another thing that upsets me during ramdhan is the newspaper. you know that during this season they got this one section where those who are living abroad can send their pics and greetings. I HATE THAT SECTION. everytime i turn to that page, i'd be a little bit 'syahdu' la knowing that it could be my picture instead of other people. their smiles seem like grins to me :P hmm...i really need closure man....ehehehe

apa lagi nak tulieh ni eh. oh ye...last weekend had a buka pose session dgn kaka, wakrin, ijan and imran. yup, there were only five of us. what to do, nik was in kerteh, achik had to take care of his wife, the others also had their own plans. but it was nevertheless fun and achieved its objective - to lepak2 with frens and continuing the tradition of buka pose. We buka pose at Sakura Kristal. tempat nih kalo tak silap aku penah masuk Jalan-Jalan Cari Makan. The food was ok. at least to me. imran was complaining kuah sate tak sedap. i didnt care coz i dont eat sate :D so i think it was worth it la.

then, that oso had a teh tarik session. this time achik & boy were there. we lepak until around 1 am and then chow.

ok la aku ingat nak balik ah. so if this is my last post before raya, i would like to wish all my muslim frens SELAMAT HARI RAYA & MAAF ZAHIR BATIN. Drive safely eh. one more thing, my kad raya lepas raya baru sampai kot. sori ah. at least aku anto la jugak kan. bai.

Tag Raya

Assalamualaikum & Goodday

Aku kena tagged la plak. Ni sume kerja Muzie aka Zyrin aka Ribena Beri. Tapi ok gak la. Sebab pasal hari raya. Hmm...dah masuk second half of ramadhan ni, baru terasa aura raya tu ek. So here goes....

Sejak bile anda mula berpuasa penuh?
Tak ingat la bila. Aku rasa dalam darjah 4 ke atas kot. Sebelum-sebelum tuh memang konpom ada ponteng ponye lah. Besela kan, bebudak. Malas je yang lebih. Iman pon kurang :)

Pernahkah anda ponteng puasa dan apakah alasannya?
Offcourseeee....mesti la pernah. Alasan? Takde yang konkrit la. Basically sebab malas je and saje nak rebel :) tapi aku nak stress sket eh, keje ponteng ni aku buat masa aku blom baligh lagi la.

Adakah anda pernah main bunga api dan mercun?
Apa ponye soklan daaa...zaman aku mercun tak haram lagi la beb. Kalo bunga api, dulu bapak aku salu belikan yang brand kucing tuh. yg tangkai dia besi tu kan. sebab ada lagi satu brand yang banyak kaler tuh banyak sangat asap dia. takleh berbapas aku. Mercun plak aku rasa aku dah main semua jenis mercun la. cakap je jenis apa, yg jenis terbang, lompat, tembak2, suma abang dah khatam. masa aku duduk kat tengganu dulu, lepas berbuka je sementara nak tunggu terawih, kitorang main perang2, pergh.... masa tuh geng sapa ader mercun das yang jenis 30 das tuh memang king ah. gila siot masa tu, memang tembak orang nak kasi terbakar punye lah. takde kesian-kesian de. Habis baju melayu. kalo pikir-pikir balik memang bahaya siot. Alhamdulillah tuhan masih sayang dengan aku.

Juadah apakah menjadi kegemaran anda sewaktu berbuka?
Aku nih, tak berkira sangat la. Makan je apa yg depan mata. Ada satu tahun tuh, masa kat PPP, almost everyday aku layan murtabak. Sampai Imran ingat aku sengkek :) Siap dia belikan aku nasik lagi sebab kesian kat aku yg kononnya sengkek. Ehehh...memang sahabat betulla.

Lagu raya manakah anda suka?
Aku suka lagu yang Dam Dam Dum...Bunyi Mercun. Apa eh tajuk dia? Lupa ah aku. Kalo lagu yang syahdu sket, aku suka lagu M. Nasir la - satu hari di hari raya. Aku rasakan, ni je la lagu artis zaman sekarang ni yg boleh dikatakan evergreen. lagu lain tuh, stakat dengar sekali je la. lepas tuh terus lupa. caya la sifu. keep it up man.

Tahun ini anda beraya dimana?
Ipoh. Dah lama dah kitorang tak beraya kat KL. Since grandparents aku passed away, semua pakat celebrate sendiri-sendiri je. So kurang la meriahnya. Tapi bg aku memang dah sampai masa dah, semua anak2 dah besor, siap dah ada cucu lagi. So logik la kalo beraya sendiri-sendiri. Oh ye, besenya petang raya pertama tu, kitorang runner gi Batu Pahat jap. 2nd raya singgah KL & 3rd raya dah ada kat ipoh balik dah.

Pernahkah anda bertugas di hari raya?
Tak pernah. Tapi rasanya taun nih kira yg first la. Unofficially aku kena jadi usherer kat umah bos aku. kira dia punya annual open house la. Tatau la camne rasanya keje di pagi raya eh.

Apakah kenangan manis di hari raya?
Kenangan manis eh? aku memang takleh lupa zaman kitorang beraya kat KL la. Lembah keramat to be exact. Kalo suma berkumpul, ada la dekat 70 orang dalam rumah tuh. budak2 je dah dekat 40 orang. atuk aku nih anak ramai, 10 orang beb. tu yang meriah tuh. malam raya tuh, kitorang pegi takbir. group takbir atuk aku tu penuh dengan cucu2 dia je, termasuk la aku. dalam kul satu baru abih. sampai umah atuk suma tido bergelimpangan. asal ada ruang je kitorang selit. besok tuh, subuh2 dah kecoh dah. ye la kan, bilik air ade dua je, yang nak mandinye ramai...memang berebut la. tapi by the time nak semayang raya sumer dah ready dah. sebelum tu offcourse breakfast ramai2 and acara salam2 sambil collect duit raya. memang best la. tapi zaman tu dah berlalu. tinggal kenangan je la. tu yg kitorang kekadang rindu sama atuk & nenek. diorang ni la yg macam glue yg lekatkan seluruh kaum keluarga. bila diorang dah takde nih...kureeeng sket la.
