It has been a while since I've posted anything here. Not that I don't have any new topics to discuss but the quarterly accounts closing is really bumming me out and taking away my time from doing a decent posting.
So, bear with me people. You'll hear from me soon. I promise.
Masa nak balik tadi, kontraktor aku call cakap nak duit sebab nak beli barang lagi untuk kerja renovation rumah aku. Hadoi, macam tahu-tahu aje gaji nak keluar lagi dua hari. Takpelah, janji siap dan elok.
Bila cerita kat isteri aku masa dalam perjalanan balik tadi, dia jawab "Takpelah, rumah kita juga. Nasib baik juga awak tak hisap rokok. Kalau tidak mesti susah nak bayar".
Terfikir juga aku bila dengar ayat isteri aku tu. Macam mana orang yang hisap rokok ni punya bajet? Rokok tu setahu aku bukannya murah. Kekadang aku tengok kawan-kawan yang hisap rokok ni, baru menyala sikit dah buang. Kaya betul diorang nih.
So, betul ke orang yang hisap rokok ni kaya?
p/s: kalau betul pun orang hisap rokok ni kaya, aku sangguplah jadi miskin dari sakit-sakit.
Gelak besar aku bila ada kawan lama sekolah rendah letak gambar masa aku darjah 4 kat SRK All Saint's Taiping. Rambut masing-masing punyalah skema kalau nak bandingkan dengan budak-budak sekolah rendah zaman sekarang.
Teringat masa time ni memang senang. Tak fikir nak kena buat semua benda yang aku kena buat sekarang. Dah besar, kenalah buat kan. Betul tak? Memang simple hidup time nih.
Memang aku akan simpan gambar ni nak tunjuk anak cucu nanti. Insya'Allah.
P/S: Aku yang paling atas belah kiri tu. Rambut sikit sepi tuh. Skema skema..
Lady Gaga is currently one of the biggest names in the entertainment industry. Outrageous costumes, performances and also those really catchy songs makes her one of the most influential and powerful figures in the music industry. Songs like "Red One", "Just Dance", Poker Face" and the latest "Bad Romance".
But have you guys ever watched Lady Gaga's videos? Her latest video for "Bad Romance" had a few subtle symbols and reference to the dark side. Okay, let's get straight to the point.
This video from youtube would explain more on this.
Maybe its just a coincidence or just a theory but it is already well known that music is know to be a vehicle for mind control, satan worshipping and other negative motives.
Just becareful to what you listen to and maybe its about time we really open up our eyes and not just our ears.
Okay. Bila aku baca dalam Utusan Online yang harga bagi plat kereta nombor "TAY 1" hampir buat aku tercekik telur rebus nasi lemak pagi tadi. Salah aku juga sebab cuba telan terus sebiji tapi memang tak logik kalau nak belanja duit sebanyak tu untuk plat kereta semata-mata.
Memanglah itu hak masing-masing kalau nak beli apa-apa sebab duit pun masing-masing. Kalau duit bukan masing-masing, bak mai sikit. Tengah kering nih. Aku boleh terbayangkan golong miskin dan daif yang menangis kalau diorang baca tentang perkara ini. Aku ada kena lkeluarga yang terpaksa hantar anak-anak masuk rumah anak yatim padahal kedua-dua ibu bapa masih ada. Sebab? Ibubapa tu tak mampu.
So, belanja tahap nih memang aku anggap tak logik dan buat aku fikir macam mana boleh aku sendiri menyumbang pada yang memerlukan. Insaf.
This poor creature was the victim of a family feud when the disgruntled (& very cruel) daughter set the rabbit on fire. The daughter, Katey Barber, threw pieces of burning paper into the rabbit's hatch and was seen laughing and shouting "Look, the rabbit is running around on fire", before putting out the fire. The rabbit is owned by Katey's sister who is on vacation with their mother and her partner.
Horrified friends and family were swore at when they tried to intervene. Katey had earlier downed 5 cans of lager before setting fire on her mother's partners clothes and then setting fire to the rabbit's hatch.
The vet that attended to the rabbit named Bunny, says it is permanently scarred and is now is terrified of human contact. A part of its ear will also need to be amputated.
Katey Barber, an animal in human form
Barber could be jailed up to 6 months and fined 20,000 Pounds when she is sentenced on Tuesday. The punishment is not enough after what she had done to this poor animal.
If it were up to me, I would lit her up on fire and see how she likes it. Poor excuse of a human being.
Mamak Tarak percaya boleh pergi makan tempat lain lah. Ayoo..
Aku Betul juga (cakap dalm hati)
Bukan boleh percaya sangat-sangat kekadang. Aku ingat lagi ada satu time aku dengan kawan-kawan pergi makan kat Al- Rafi Bistro Seksyen 13. Tanya mamak tu "Roti Wawasan apa ada dalam?" Dia boleh jawab pulak "Ada isi wawasan". Bantai gelak kitorang. So, kalau nak mencari wawasan, silalah makan Roti Wawasan kat Al-Rafi Bistro Seksyen 13.
Halal atau tidak restoran-retoran mamak ini buat aku tertanya-tanya sejak dapat email dari kawan-kawan forum tentang kedai mamak kena rush kat Subang Jaya minggu lepas. Pegawai-pegawai JAIS pergi rush kedai tu sebab dapat tip kata kedai mamak tu pakai sijil halal palsu. Bila pegawai JAIS tanya pekerja situ untuk mengucap dua kalimah syahadah, maka terkantoilah penipuan pemilik kedai tu, sebab pekerja "mamak" tu terkebil-kebil je tak tahu menjawab. Apa yang di ucapkan pun tak boleh di fahami dalam bahasa arab, parsi mahupun tamil.
Macam mana kita nak tahu kedai mamak tu memang betul-betul mamak yang halal? Macam mana nak tahu dia sediakan makanan tu secara halal? Bahan-bahan yang di gunakan juga halal?
Dalam kes serbuan yang aku dapat ni, ada penduduk area situ macam syak tanda halal kat restoran tu tak sah. Memang betul pun tak sah. Maka, kena samanlah kedai mamak tu dan di suruh cabut tanda halal tipu tu.
Aku mengaku aku pergi makan atau minum atau kedua-duanya sekali (mestilah makan & minum) kat kedai mamak. Tapi aku cuba juga untuk selidik sikit sebelum aku pergi suatu mamak. Kalau aku rasa was-was, memang aku tak pergi, kalau takpun order air tin aje.
So, berhati-hatilah bila korang nak pergi layan cheese naan tandoori ke. nasi beriyani Bukhara ke sebab mungkin apa yang kita makan tu tak halal. Ingat, apa yang kita makan akan menjadi darah daging kita. Berhati-hati.
A close dear friend of mine, Zulkarnain (www.zazamazu.blogspot.com) is planning to migrate to the Land Down Under, Australia most probably in May. He will be bringing his wife and kids away to another country due to being unhappy with some issues that are happening in our country.
Bad politics, people's working habits, worker's efforts not being recognized, the rising cost of living yet income still remains the same are some of the issues that have rubbed Zul the wrong way. I tend to empathize with his feelings and see where he is coming from. I also have plans to experience life working overseas once I complete my chartered accounting studies. But I don't think it would be to the extent to gain PR status in another country.
I know where Zul is coming from but it's hard for me to see me moving away from Malaysia. I cannot imagine celebrating Hari Raya without my parents and relatives around. I cannot imagine not playing NATS Sunday Futsal or not going on trips with my friends. How about the array of Malaysian food that just make your mouth water by just thinking about it? Never. No nasi lemak, no nasi kerabu? Hell no!
Come on....!!! Are you kidding me??
NATS Sunday Futsal
I really hope that Zul changes his mind on this and soldier on with the rest of us. But whatever his decision is going to be, we'll still be tight and insya'Allah, my wife, I & kids will surely try to visit you guys down there. But for now, I'll continue to carry on in Malaysia. Like the old Malay proverb goes:
Hujan emas di negeri orang, hujan batu di negeri sendiri, lebih baik di negeri sendiri.
Hujung minggu lepas ada aku baca berita dalam salah satu akhbar tempatan tentang tukang kasut di Tronoh, Perak (berdekatan kampus Universiti Teknologi Petronas (UTP)) yang kena belasah oleh 10 - 12 orang pelajar Mesir di kedai makan. Sebab si tukang kasut kena belasah? Pelajar Mesir tu tak berpuas hati dengan caj yang di kenakan oleh si tukang kasut.
Kisah bermula bila pelajar biadab tu singgah di kedai untuk perbetulkan kasut dia. Bila dia tanya pada tukang kasut tu, berapa untuk betulkan dua pasang kasut, tukang kasut pun cakap RM 30 iaitu RM 15 untuk sepasang. Pelajar Mesir tu pun cakap mahal & minta harga repair kasut tu jadi RM 20 aje. Tukang kasut pun tak setuju & minta pelajar tu pergi ke kedai berdekatan.
Ini kot kasut yang pelajar biadab tu nak repair?
Mungkin sebab kedai tu pun kenakan bayaran yang sama, dia datang semula ke kedai si tukang kasut & minta tukang kasut repair kasut dia dengan caj RM 20 juga. Si tukang kasut masih tak setuju, maka keluarlah kata-kata kesat dari mulut pelajar Mesir tu sehingga di ucapkannya "Fuck you Malaysia!". Si tukang kasut sudah hilang sabar & menarik tangan pelajar tersebut & minta dia minta maaf atas kata-kata biadab itu.
Pelajar biadab tu beredar tetapi membuat U turn dan mengeluarkan isyarat lucah & mengugut akan datang semula untuk "mengajar" si tukang kasut.
Dua hari kemudian, pelajar kurang ajar itu datang bersama 10 orang teman yang lain mula memukul si tukang kasut & teman tukang kasut semasa mereka berdua sedang makan di satu restoran dekat kedai tukang kasut (kawasan Taman Maju, Seri Iskandar). Lagi best, takde sorang pun penduduk tempatan cuba untuk membantu sebelum si tukang kasut * rakan pergi dapatkan rawatan di Hospital Changkat Melintang.
Nak tambah lagi best cerita ini, pengurusan UTP datang berjumpa si tukang kasut pada malam si tukang membuat laporan polis untuk menarik balik laporan kerana tidak mahu hal ini di perbesarkan.
Patut hantar balik aje pelajar-pelajar Mesir tu dan pengurusan UTP pula patut malu kerana cuba menutup perkara ini dari tersebar. Pelajar-pelajar kurang ajar tu datang ke Malaysia di atas scholarship Petronas dan buat benda macam ini? Hantar balik aje.
On the way back from a relative's wedding reception, the family made a quick stop at Pekan Rabu in Alor Setar, Kedah.Pekan Rabu is not exactly a pekan (town) as itself, but it is situated in the Alor Setar town. Opened in 1978, traders used to do their trading with no walls before the existence of Pekan Rabu . Did you know that Tun Dr. Mahathir used to be one of the traders there?
You can find all kind of stuff like cakes, kuih muih, serundings (chicken/beef floss), spices and also stalls selling food & drinks. My dear wife had a field day at Pekan Rabu. In just 10 minutes, she bought two big bags full of knick knacks. Seeing that she is already 8 months pregnant, so I let it slide this time.
Pekan Rabu is one of Malaysia's local and foreign tourist attractions. Maybe air-conditioning or improving air circulation of Pekan Rabu should be the next step in making it more comfortable for visitors and traders alike.
Will surely stop by Pekan Rabu the next time I'm in Kedah.
Kejap lagi nak drive pergi Sg Petani untuk menghadirkan diri ke majlis kahwin sedara. Benda tu takde masalah kan? Yang menjadi masalahnya ialah jam tunjuk 2:17 pagi tapi aku tak tidur lagi. Yang paling bestnya, kena bangun pukul 5 pagi untuk bertolak sebelum subuh (berhenti solat subuh on the way) dan aku yang mungkin kena drive.
Adoih! Macam mana nak tidur kalau rasa tak mengantuk? Kira kambing? Kira cicak?
How many of you guys know the process to get electricity into your home? Most house developers get this done for you but what if you recently bought a house and need to get power into your new home. Let me tell you how because I can proudly say that now I am a house owner. Yup, I bought a house. (Applause).
There are a few things that you need to do & have before you visit Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB). Make sure you visit the Kedai Tenaga that is nearest to the house you want the electricity put into.
Sale & Purchase Agreement
First thing you need is the Sale & Purchase Agreement (S&P or some people call it SPA). This document is the agreement between you (buyer) and seller. It states that you agree to purchase the house from the seller. Basically, TNB wants to see this document so that it is proof that you own the house.
Get the S&P copied (photostated, is this correct?). First step done!
Photocopy IC
This is a must for most of these type of processes. Get one copy of your I/c done and make sure both sides (front and back) are done.
Application Form
You can get the forms from your nearest Kedai Tenaga for free. Fill up the details as stated on the form. Leave the parts that you are not sure about and ask about them when you want to submit the forms.
Deposit
You need to put a deposit when you apply because TNB wants to cover any losses if let say you did not pay your bill. I am not sure how much you need to prepare. The deposit is based on how big is your house. Meaning that, the bigger your house, the larger the deposit.
My advice is to just bring RM 1000 to be safe. I only paid RM 240 for mine.
Stamp Hasil
Lastly, buy two Stamp Hasil @ RM 10 each from the post office. Bring this together when submitting the forms.
So, those are the things that you need to have to get the power in your house. Easy enough huh?
