Entri Pertama dari Pesisir Luar Pantai

Mungkin anda pelik mendengar perkataan Pesisir Luar Pantai bukan? Itu bukan lah sesuatu yang pelik kerana ketika pertama kali saya mendengar perkataan itu, tanpa ragu-ragu saya terus membuat muka seperti memakan makanan yang masam. Anda dapat bayangkan? Ya seperti itu.

Sekarang saya berada di pesisir luar pantai Thailand. Mungkin anda pelik bagaimana di tengah lautan ada sambungan internet. Pelik tetapi benar dan inilah buktinya. Semasa saya bekerja di pelantar pesisir luar pantai di Malaysia, rata-rata semua tidak menyediakan kemudahan internet untuk semua orang. Kemudahan internet ada tetapi hanya untuk membuat kerja dan dikhaskan hanya untuk orang-orang tertentu di atas pelantar. Tetapi tidak di Thailand. Kemudahan internet disediakan untuk semua orang. Maka semua orang tanpa segan silu boleh menggunakan kemudahan internet selama mungkin. Seperti saya ini. Setiap masa memeriksa emel untuk membuat kerja dan membuat rujukan bersama orang-orang di ofis saya. Terasa seperti berada di darat.

Berada di Thailand mungkin suatu perkara yang susah untuk semua orang kerana kita perlu mengadaptasi gaya kehidupan dengan pekerja-pekerja warganegara Thailand di atas pelantar ini. Tetapi bagi yang sudah biasa, bekerja di sini bukanlah satu masalah yang besar. Ternyata rakyat Thailand memahami kehendak orang-orang Malaysia yang berbangsa Melayu dan beragama Islam. Mengapa? Setiap kali saya hendak makan, mereka sentiasa akan menunjukkan makanan mana yang dimasak menggunakan daging khinzir. Tetapi alhamdulillah setiap hari mesti ada makanan laut. Mungkin ada sedikit keraguan tentang periuk yang sama digunakan untuk memasak tetapi apakan daya, darurat sudah keadaan di sini.

Tetapi berada di Thailand adalah lebih baik daripada berada di negara China. Sekurang-kurangnya masih ramai lagi rakyat Thailand terutamanya di selatan Thailand yang beragama Islam. Ok saya sudah mengarut tak tentu pasal. Kegirangan kerana esok saya sudah boleh balik ke darat.

P/S : entri penuh bahasa melayu kerana terlalu banyak berbahasa Inggeris di atas pelantar.

Hujan

Ini hari Isnin. Seperti biasa, semua malas mahu melipat selimut di pagi hari tetapi sangat rajin melipat diri di dalam selimut. Sudah 2 hari di Kota Mega-polis Kuala Lumpur hujan. Alhamdulillah. Kurang sikit bau yang kurang menyenangkan yang datang dari rembesan peluh di dahi dan ketiak manusia. Ok no point.

Tapi bila hujan dan hanya satu hari bekerja dalam satu minggu, rasa-rasa apa perasaan anda jika permohonan cuti di-reject? Surat berhenti kerja sudah draf tapi printer office rosak plak. Lepas lunch mahu ambil emergency leave tanpa sebab. Dah nama pun emergency.

Karma #2

Well we used to hear this quote

"What you give,you get back"

It has always been true and it has already being proven.

I have experience and have seen the proofs.

There goes your karma #2

Karma

Ada orang pernah pesan. Jangan benci sangat satu benda atau mengata benda yang buruk pasal sesuatu. Sebabnya nanti end up kita akan suka benda tu.

Well. Dahulu saya pakai PDA phone HTC Diamond II. Canggih la phone tu time saya pakai. Fully touch screen. Memang canggih. Nak beli iPhone tak mampu tapi nak pakai phone yang ada function fully touch screen. Memang canggih dan market saya time tu melambung naik. Saya suka kalau market saya melambung naik. Dari sepuluh ringgit sesaham naik jadi sepuluh ratus ringgit sesaham. Memang best.

Nak dijadikan cerita. Lepas saya beli handphone baru, semua orang sudah mampu beli Blackberry. Huh! Sungguh kurang ajar. Blackberry jadi sangat murah sampai budak sekolah rendah pun mampu beli jika mereka simpan duit belanja ke sekolah.

Saya pun kurang suka dengan orang yang pakai Blackberry. Makin lama makin benci saya lihat mereka. Asyik update kat status Facebook via Blackberry. Memang hati saya terbakar dan rentung. Mulalah reveolusi mengutuk Blackberry. Macam-macam tentang Blackberry diperkatakan. Dari A sampai Z. Sampai ada niat nak tubuhkan Kelab Benci Blackberry kat Facebook.

Nak dijadikan cerita lagi. Tiba-tiba dapat durian runtuh. Ada orang nak beri Blackberry sebagai hadiah. Tempted tapi terasa seperti menjilat ludah sendiri. Tapi terpaksa jugak amek sebab ada orang nak bagi sebagai hadiah.

See? Exhibit A?

Moral of the story: Jangan kutuk-kutuk orang yang pakai Blackberry atau cakap kat semua orang yang kau takkan pakai or tak minat Blackberry. Last-last kau pakai jugak Blackberry.

It will be the last 10 days of my student years. Hopefully. Done with the examinations. Have one small project to be presented which is a group project. Only a little amount of work required. Of all things, there is only one concern.

THESIS REPORT!!!

Damn! I am so lazy and so not in the mood to even type and write.

saya memang orang yang PALING RAJIN sekali nak buat thesis

:(

Q & A Session

Here is a situation:

You and a good long lost friend were sitting down at your favorite mamak stall. There are so many things to be updated about both of you and both of you were already having a conversation for almost an hour. Suddenly a beggar came along and ask for some donation

And here is the question:

What will be the first thing that came into your mind? And if you decide to give the beggar some extra change available in your pocket, what is that for actually? Are you really sincere in giving the beggar the change or you were just giving them the change so that you can continue with your conversation because obviously waving your hands away towards the beggar would be a merciless act?

Idea

For some people, writing is their passion. They just love writing that they wont rest until they have written at least something about anything. That is how some people might be when they are in love with writing. A person that have things and matters to write about is a person who always read, travel and have a lot experiences and knowledges to be shared to others.

These writers always have what people called as creativity and their mind is always working all the time. Thinking about things that they want to write about later in the day.

But for me. I am out of idea to write lately. I do love writing regardless of the content of my writing is just a simple blabbering or just writing crap. But right now I seriously have no idea on what to write. Or maybe I should start reading more materials so that I would have more ideas for my writing?

"Wish I could have a light bulb like this so that I can just switch it on whenever I need an idea to write"

Banyak

Bulan puasa, bulan mulia, bulan Ramadan. Menahan lapar dan dahaga sepanjang hari. Juga tidak dilupakan maki hamun dan ayat-ayat cerca yang keluar dari orang yang kurang daya tahan lapar. Bulan biasa melantak sepanjang masa. Memang lah macam itu.

Apabila berbuka, semua berpusu-pusu menyerang meja yang dipenuhi juadah. Makan sehingga tak larat nak bangun untuk ke depan TV sambung tengok cerita kartun. Tapi sekarang selalu juga rancangan berbentuk dokumentari ke udara. At least we can gain some knowledge about the world. Nak harap buka ensiklopedia atau encyclopedia, memang liat. Wikipedia pun sekali-sekala.

Memang banyak juadah dari seluruh pelosok tanah air dan bandar-bandar terkemuka berkumpul di bazar Ramadan (BaRam). Ada yang memanggil Pasar Ramadan (PaRam). Lain-lain nama panggilan belum dapat ditemui lagi di wikipedia. Tunggu mereka update sudah berkurun lamanya.

Makan punya makan, banyak makanan terlebih dalam pinggan. Nak tak nak kena habiskan jugak lah. Takut nanti dicop kawan syaitan sebab membazir. Ibu kita selalu pesan "Mohd, habiskan nasi dalam pinggan. Nanti menangis nasi kalau dibuang". Pelbagai imaginasi muncul di atas kepala membayangkan muka nasi sedang menangis. Biasalah. Kanak-kanak Ultraman.

Tapi masalah sekarang. Kalau makanan yang banyak boleh gagah lagi kalau nak compresskan dalam perut. Kerja banyak boleh ke nak compress? Bagai beri betis nak peha. Submit kerja on time banyak lagi kerja yang disuruh buat. Huh!

Eh apa motif entri kali ini?

Curiosity, Stupidity and Insanity

Another of my concern, last time I may not think about how I felt towards the problem but now I do feel disappointed about it. This is a serious case.

Little that I have realized, for the past few weeks there were a number of reports regarding the abandonment of immature and also mature infant. Did anyone read about it? If you do then good. Well came to think about it, last time this problem can be said to still under control and it is still small compared to the problems occur today. What I am talking about is the difference between two ages. The age of the millennium and also the age of the 90's.

What I am disappointed about is there was a series of newspaper front page title reporting the same issue in the same week. And guess what? Each of the report were mentioning about not 1, not 2 but 3 infants being thrown away by irresponsible parents. Woops! The word parents are too noble for those people who did all this crime. Those infants were thrown away by immature young immature couples who only knew how to have fun but they have no idea how to handle the consequences. What is wrong with the society nowadays?How low can we be when our country in developing economically and socially?

Not only that, the infants were thrown away in places that none of us want to be at. Sewerage pond, near the drain, in the dumpster. You can just name it! Can you really imagine how would we feel if our parents put us at those places mentioned earlier when we were young? And can you imagine the feeling of the immature young couple who are heartless enough to throw their ''product"? I love kids very much and i would love to have a children of my own one day. Seriously, even though I am a guy, but every guy have their own soft spot where they will be flattered to see the children of their own in their own arms. Just think about it,readers. Would dare or have the heart to actually throw away your own children in the dumpster, or sewerage pond?

Seriously, one have said that 'Curiosity kills the cat'. Thanks to what happened today, the quote can be changed to 'Curiosity kills the future generations'.

3rd Party

Being in a relationship requires commitments, passion and also trust. Without any one of the elements mentioned, the relationship will be damaged and soon be broken into not thousand but million pieces. A relationship chain that is broken due to the internal factor such as lost of interest, lost of spark, one side being too comfortable or any other factors, is a normal thing. At that time we will tell ourselves that the relationship is not destined to be ours and we should go on with out life and search for the one.

But the main reason I am writing at this hour is about the presence of the third party in a relationship. Would it be a mistake or fault made by the one involved in the relationship? Or maybe the third party was too determined to be in other people's relationship just to get what they want?

Let me put it this way. Being in a relationship, one should consider the relationship to be their most precious belongings after family. Yes it is true. Love is not a toy but love is something that someone should appreciate and they should do their utmost to make sure that the relationship stays forever.

What I am concern of right now is the fact that many of us out there just could not understand the fact that "the target" is not available or in other words taken by somebody else. Some time, we could see clearly that the person is already in a relationship but you still wants to be nice and polite to get to know that person. Where have all the respect gone? It is known that some of us out there still think "Oh! They are still JUST IN A RELATIONSHIP. They are not bonded or married yet. Even the married couple can be divorced after a while." Hello again people! Can't you just be happy for other people and respect their relationship? Or maybe you are just too blinded with what you want until you cannot think about other people's feeling when the sees intruders in their relationship?

I am so sorry, readers. But I am too disappointed with what had happened in the community.

Please do respect other people's belonging. In this term the belonging that I am referring to is the relationship. If you do respect other people's relationship, people will eventually respect the relationship that you will have in the future. What goes around comes around. And lastly, please do not even try to take away other people's happiness. It is not fair to destroy what other people have built for quite some time.

Great Weekend

What a hectic and tiring weekend but still words cannot describe the satisfaction that has been achieved for this weekend. Should I say that it was a shopping weekend. My Baby and I bought a lot of things and we even went window shopping to acquire our next target. The month of Ramadan is coming in around 2 weeks time and all the stores are promoting their shops and boutiques for great deals as well as great bargain. Not to forget that the Malaysia's Mega Sale is starting soon so I think it is the greatest time for window shopping and take a look on our next shopping target. The shopping part is a necessity that we have to make the purchase, by hook or by crook.

The shoppings and also the preparations has been great and we are really happy with the progress. We are now counting days but still we have a lot of work to do in the next few days. Classes to attend as well as assignments and also other studies related work. The tasks that have been assigned to me have gone down one by one and now waiting for more tasks to come. It is just another responsibility for me as a student.

All I can say is that I am very satisfied with what has happened during the weekend. It will be the most memorable weekend for me and also to my Baby. It is surely a good weekend turns out to be a great and awesome weekend. What am i preparing for? Just what for the entry in a week time.

Mumble Jumble

I am still awake until now just to spend all my sleeping time for a compilation of paper writing called Progress Report. How lame is that? I have to think, I have to compose and definitely I have to type all the words that I have been building for the past few hours using the keypad on my notebook keyboard. Do people call this hard work or is it just the same old people saying of last minute job?

Talking about last minute job, I have never failed myself to make a last minute work and it turns out to be as good as the one prepared earlier by other people. Well of course doing a last minute work, we need a lot of references from the past work. Some people call it plagiarism, some called it "Cut and Paste" or "Copy and Paste" but I want to call it "RESOURCING". Without resources, nothing can be done and nothing can turn out to be good.

After all the work that I have been through for the past week, I am glad I am nearing the end of my studies. I have been squeezing my brains out for the assignments, tests and quizzes for the past 5 years and now I am at the last stage already. Working will never be the same like right now while I am still studying. Do you think I am going to miss all this? Well maybe yes to some of it.

Got to have some nap. Night readers!

SPIRIT

The writer seriously need some of the matter mentioned above so that he could actually have the strength to lay his hand on his own Final Year Project. Seriously he needs to produce some result so that he can put it in his Progress Report which is due next Friday.

Any suggestion? Maybe the writer needs to find his own time and space to actually make some progress on his project. He is in need of a result so badly right now!

Or maybe he will be a little more concern about his project when he realize that he is short of time to complete the whole project simulation? Seriously I don't know but I think he will have his self-conscious to actually lay both of his hands on the project this weekend.

Ok. I just need to write and whine about something. That is all about it.

RESTECP

This is what Ali G has said in the British Parliament in his movie. He wants to spell respect but instead he spell it "R..E..S..T..E..C..P". But this is not what I wanted to point out in my entry this time around.

Some people wants respect and some people need respect from other people to make them feel good and there are some people who seeks for respect due to their family history. Ok fine whatever. My point is, if you really want to be respected by other people, you yourself must show or exhibit or give respect to other people. You cant gain any respect without giving any.

My point here are simple. Please do not ever think about yourself ONLY. I repeat. Please do not think about yourself ONLY. Think about what other people might feel and what other people might think. Do not be too proud of who your ancestors are. We should be proud and take a very good care of our family names especially when your ancestors is a someone. You are just carrying their name but not their fame. You have to create your own fame to your own name but please be careful not to bring shame to your name. From ending up in the Hall of Fame you might ended up in the Wall of Shame.

My last words. Please do respect other people feelings and opinion. They will eventually respect your feeling and also your opinion some day.

Nervous

When something big is happening in your life, this feeling is a normal feeling which I guess everyone have been through before. And yes, I have been in this situation before especially few hours before the final examination paper, job interview as well as project presentations. But this time around the situation is different.

All the preparation are 60% towards completion and it is still a month away.

Oh god!!please help me to get through this situation safely.

Baby, I really love you :D

Step and Phase

A step has been taken. Waiting for another step and everything are going to be fine. Hoping for the next step to be as smooth as the first step. I am already half-nervous. Just need to let go another half of the nervousness. Pheww!!!

Well Brazil will kick off against Ivory Coast at 2.30 am and it will mark the first day of the last week of my industrial training.

Seriously. I don't want to go back to the days where I have to attend classes anymore eventhough I know that someday that I will miss all those moments going to class and hanging out with friends after every class.

Working and studying does have its own advantages and also disadvantages. But what's important now is that I have to move on to the next phase and will never have to look for the phase before. Never look back, ever!

Role Model

Everyone have their own perception and also individuals that they look up upon as their role models. Several achievements made by these role models made them the object of obsession for his or her workers. This is because of the achievements made by them, they have been living in a better life. Most of us will look upon our father or anyone from our family to be their role model. Some might say "I want to be successful just like my father" or maybe "My grandfather has fought the communists and he has shot almost 100 communists during his service in the army" and what not. Some might look upon someone like the Prime Minister or for sportsmen they look upon the international sportsmen and try to be like them. Try to live their role models life may help in their effort in becoming just like their role model. This is what they said.

In the office, some might look up to their bosses to be their role model. Bosses knew how to work smart and knew when they are required to come to the office and do their work. Maybe they will just stay in the house and manage their work through voice calls or even video conference nowadays. Lets discuss how a boss usually work in our country's environment.

Bosses are late-comers to office. But when they are in the office, they do their work efficiently and they will try to finish their work before time. Their work may required their attention for only an hour or two. 5 hours max sometimes and then these bosses will go back home to their family. Yes they might have people to do their work but work are distributed evenly among the employee so everyone have the same amount of work depending on the area of interest or expertise. So the bosses and the employee job is just the same. But since he is the boss, he gets the compliment for the good job being done by the employee. That is not the main issue here.

So being me, I am looking up on my boss because I do want to be like him. Own a big car, big names and also a lot of contacts. From my observation, he always late to office and always go back home as early as lunch time and I have never seen him in the office after lunch hour. As an employee, I need to live like my boss in order for me to become like him one day. As a starting, I need to come late to office and make sure I'll be back home during lunch time. Most importantly, the work is done. Right?

Hahahahaha. Dream on!

Weekends

Monday is a day where people kept whining and complaining about. Why? Because its a day where they have to go back to their daily work routine. Wake up in the morning, some breakfast with the loved ones or maybe peers, start the car engine, drive through the road and the most common thing to happen every day on the road which is the TRAFFIC JAM. If you are lucky enough, you will encounter arguments on accidents at the side of the road. Drama early in the morning. Ok enough with the Monday Blues complaints as I should go on writing about my great weekends.

Started off with a nice Saturday. Woke up in the afternoon only to realize there's nothing to eat for lunch while my mum and the sisters baking cupcakes in the kitchen. Suddenly I realized that I have to do something to fill my empty stomach. An offer has been made and everyone agreed. A call being made and half an hour later, a delivery arrived. The good guy from Pizza Hut came with his motorcycle and there comes our food in the box attached behind his motorcycle. Jump of joy and happiness. I think that was the only highlight of the day other than the arrival of my brother from Dubai. Got myself a piece of t-shirt with Asterix comic character on it which my brother bought it during his recent trip to Rome. Baby, we are going to Rome!! I don't care!!

Then there was another highlight of the day. Yes now I do remember. Before going to the story, let me entertain you with a short and brief description on the situation.

Poverty has been a long time friend to human. The economic growth has made the rich become richer and the poor become poorer. People tend to have the desire to earn more for their own need without sometimes or some people, never think about others who need it more than we do. The city has always been the main target location for people from the village or urban areas to find a new challenge and job but little that they know, they are more challenges and obstacles than what they can see in the television every day in the city. Some may survive but many has fallen or maybe forgotten. For certain people they could not care less about this matter but thank God there are some people who are concern about this situation. An invitation from my brother in law made me realized that I need to deliver something that some of us might forget. The program is called Food Run organized by a non-profitable organisation called Reach.org. Some of the member have packed foods in plastic bags and the plastic bags were placed in 3 cars. This plastic bags were then be distributed to the homeless around the KL area.

Seeing the homeless made me feel lucky for still having a family and also a home. Some of us may have been sleeping in the cold air coming from the air conditioning but the homeless rely on the weather to comfort themselves while they were sleeping. Maybe that was just a simple comparison. How about food? We may be able to buy our own food and comfortably having it on a dining table. But the homeless may not have that opportunity since they have to think about where to find food first before thinking about where to eat up the food. If they are lucky, they might get some food from the restaurant or any food stall on the owner's courtesy. And luck only comes once in a while. From stories heard, some of them may not have food for quite some time. I can see from their eyes how thankful they were when we handed them the plastic bags with foods in it. Their eyes and their voice. It is a very sad situation and I am glad to have helped to stuffed their empty stomach with foods that came with a glimpse of hope and survival. The Food Run was an enjoyable one and I am looking forward for another one.

And then. Seeing England struggle to only draw 1-1 with the USA dissapoints me. Then I came out with a phrase. Doesn't mean you have the best league in the world you have the best team in the world. Enough said.

On Sunday, my nephew's birthday party. Seeing her in her so called Princess dress carved smiles around our faces. She was walking around with hands waving and calling everyone "Your Majesty" really make my day. After the party, and also a change of clothes, my Baby and I went to a place called Fun Fair. It might sounded lame but I find it amusing and exciting experience. We had a great time at the Fun Park in Bukit Tinggi and I have managed to win some prizes for my beloved Baby. Yeay! It has been a while since the last time we had a great time in a ride park. One of the best attraction of the park was the look-a-like Tomahawk in Sunway Lagoon. It was a great first time experience for me. I felt dizzy after riding on that ride and yet I still feel dizzy until now. Despite the dizziness, I totally think the expereince at the Fun Park was full of excitement and a memorable one especially when I am with the coolest Baby on Earth. :D

I think that is all for the weekend. To Baby, I love you more and more everyday.
