Thank God It's Raining

Assalamualaikum and Good Evening

It's been raining these last couple of days. And i was like 'Alhamdulillah 1000x'. It is sooo relieving. Seriously man...i couldnt have asked for more :)

Wanna know why? Well, Ipoh been having these ridiculous traffic jams during fasting month. And to ipoh people, jams are an anomaly. We are so used to smooth traffic and when suddenly we have to endure this, WE ARE ANGRY!!! . And because of that, we tend to be a little bit frustrated + annoyed + ruthless. thus, we've become one of the worst drivers in the country :P

there's no such thing as compromise or tolerance. at least in KL, if you switch on your 'signals' sooner or later people will give you way. but in ipoh, you have to fight for it, really really fight for it. i kid you not man.

To make it worse, we have three schools which are located betul-betul in the heart of the city and the parents being malaysians, double park along the roadside creating bottle neck. and dont let me start on the school buses. They are IDIOTS. Sometimes, the schools remind me of BBGS near starhill, remember the jams it caused? triple that in ipoh.

So now we have abnormal traffic jams + inconsiderate drivers + hunger. Try to add hot wheather into that equation and u can imagine the horror i've been dealing during this fasting month :P

so now it's raining, and i'm smiling all the way home. i dunno la, the cold wheather somehow reduces my anger. i dont care about how other people feel about the rain, but i like it :)

so people, always remember one thing, BE COOL on the road eh. After all, it is Ramadhan, and you are suppose to tahan all the ujians rite? see ya....

No Baju Raya

Assalamualaikum & Good Day

Pose ke ? :)

Pose la hendaknya ye. Bukan lama pon. Sebulan je.

This year, i spend less time berbuka at home. So many functions to attend. Sometimes i find it irritating you know. I'm so used to berbuka at home with families, and when i had to berbuka outside it doesnt really excite me. But what to do, it's my job rite. Lucky for me my wife understands, thanks honey.

enough about work eh.

this year i will not be buying new baju raya for myself. instead i got something better, something that's been long overdue, it is in the form of : see below :)

pheewiiittttttttt....cantik tak handphone baru aku. nice eh? this is actually my second handphone. the last time i bought a handphone was in 2001 if i'm not mistaken. forgot the model oredi. but it was the same as zid's. alaa the one yg kaler oren and sporty tuh. long time ago man.

.

i bought this one bcoz i got it cheap. my SIL went to langkawi and found out the price is actually cheaper by rm 400. so i cannot tahan anymore lah. initially i wanted the nokia 6110 navigator, tapi out of stock la plak. so n95 la jawabnya. eventhou it's quite expensive, i think ok la since this is the first in 6 years.

.

so far i havent finished exploring yet. hard to find time lah bulan pose nih. hopefully by hari raya i'll know all the functions lah.
.

so, ok lah ye. conclusion is, if u want to buy handphone, go to langkawi. have a nice day.

Reminiscing Ramadhan 1995-2000

Assalamualaikum and Good Evening
.
It's ramadhan again eh. Sekejap je kan.
.

The Prophet S.A.W once said : 'treat the month of ramadhan like it is your first wedding night'

.
(lebih kurang la kan, i couldnt remember the exact words). Lemme elaborate a bit, it means that we have to welcome ramadhan with joy and thankfulness not welcome it with a long face. y'all feel me? i bet u do lah. korang sume clever people :)
.
anyways, ramadhan sure brings a lot of memories. especially the PPP days. here are some of the things that i could remember:
.
one - sleep. the most popular activity during fasting month....malam tido, lepas sahur tido, masa kelas pon tido, masa break pon tido, balik kelas pon tido....kekadang tu dah tak jadi cam fasting month dah...instead it was sleeping month :P

.

two - hot spot. the surau would suddenly be one of the most visited place during class hour. dont get me wrong. it wasnt that we were more pious in ramadhan. it was just that we needed a place to sleep :P ngantok oiiii.....

.

three - pasar ramadhan. eventhou we were sleepy for most of the time, but when it came to going to pasar ramadhan, perghhhhh cerah bijik mata memasing....:D bukan nak beli barang sangat, nak cuci mata je yg lebih. Plus the pasar malam would be very crowded and thus less space to move. and being boys, we love tempat yang sempit2 nih....if u know what i mean :)

.

four - air kaler-kaler. one of the most hottest gerai would the gerai air. only during ramadhan we could buy odd flavoured and colored drinks. usually kazarul la yg suka beli air yg pelik2 ni. he had this tall glass and he'd fill it up untill it was full. me n the others being the opportunist would always 'pau' him. u know just to irritate him la...ehehhh....jgan marah eh Ka...alaaa tak luak pon air ko tuh...

.

five - nasi lemak wak. my frens had this craving for nasi lemak sold by this one wak jawa. everyday makan nasik lemak. i oso cannot understand la. but since it was their money, i couldnt care less :)

.

six - cheater. yup some people cheat during fasting month. when i say cheat, read it as tak pose la ye. one of my closest frens got kantoi during this one year. he ate maggi but forgot to throw away the wrapper...ehehehhe....plus he stole a stick of cigarette from me :) silly him. some more there was at least one eye witness who saw him with the maggi while he was heading home. eheheheh....to my fren....jgn ponteng2 lagi eh. ko tuh anak dah dua dah :)

.

so that's it. actuallly got some more. but sometimes less is more ( lame reason eh ). so if u guys want to add the list. feel free to do so. to all my frens and readers, selamat berpuasa and please do take advantage of this holy month. let us all do so la eh. especially those yg ada hajat beso tuh. and dont forget, masa lepas terawih tuh doa2kan la untuk kengkawan sekalik. mana la tau, kena malam lailatul qadar. insya allah!!

Finally...an entry

Assalamualaikum and Good Day

.

Hello all. It's been quite some time eh? Nearly three months since my last post. I've been busy adjusting myself at the new office plus my pc is sooo stooopid. The IE needs to be reinstalled but until now the people from the IT division haven't shown their face yet.

.

Anyways, this post is like lepaskan-geram-session for me lah. I've got plenty to write but i guess if i write everything this post is going to be a boring one. So i'll give u guys a synopsis of everything eh.

.

The new job is taking alot of my time. Imagine this, i can only read the papers after i got home, i only switch my pc on after office hours (itu pon kalo sempat) and my project kurus is crumbling before my very eyes. I hardly run nowadays mostly because i got home late.

.

Everyday after flashing in (no more punch card bebeh) i got into my room and a stack of papers oredi awaits me. While signing and reading the papers, the public will come in and out as they please. Pouring down their problems to me and hoping that i could solve them.

.

I oso have to attend all the meetings which i really like coz i could escape from entertaining the public. It's not that i hate them, i just need a break once in a while. It's very stressful to be a good listener and most importantly ensuring that the people left my room with a smile.

.

When the boss is out to attend a function, i'll follow him. Penat oii. Luckily all the cars in SUK are Perdana. Comfy la sket compared to the busted old pajero in my previous office :) Oh ye...i've been to the istana twice oredi in a space of two months. Cool eh :)

.

Dunno about u guys. But I'm a commoner, so when i got the chance to go to the istana i got a bit excited lah. Especially when the Raja Puan Besar Tuanku Zara is there :)

.

ok lah. Cukup la for now. oh ye...a bit on merdeka. I really hope that u guys do appreciate the freedom that we currently enjoy. It's not easy to come this far and it is sure not easy to go further ahead. I'm really happy to celebrate Malaysia's 50th birthday, but we oso have to remember that we were ruled by foreign powers for 446 years. So we have to work hard to recover from the four and a half decades that we've lost. Most importantly we have to show our patriotism. Not by joining the army but at least show that u care by at least knowing what the government is doing. That's all it takes. I know all the stuffs i said sound corny, but u gotta start somewhere rite :)

.

SO HAPPY MERDEKA DAY U GUYS!!!
