Istanbul

It was a great trip. From Adam Sandler to Topkapi Palace. Photos after the jump.

Some good news

Last night, I was watching a movie and before I dozed off, I managed to write an email to the exemptions officer about my application status. Preferably the three CT courses CT1, 3 and 7. Yang lagi dua tu tak urgent. I thought it was a gamble since I was damn sure they would reply something like "due to our strict policies, we are not allowed to inform about the result of the application before the official one being released..." Bla bla bla.

However, this morning (12p.m. is still considered as morning ke? since that is like the time aku baru bangun) I opened my email and saw and email from the IOA. So I was like.. here we go.. the policies (rings a bell?)... yada yada.

But voila! Tgk2 depa dok reply apa yg kupinta.. dapatlah exempted CT3 and CT7. Two out of three. Alhamdulliah. Two is better than none ye tak? CT1 kena balun study ah makcik. Bayaq premium makcik kami cover semua rumah makcik...! (lawak dak2 PNB)

CT1 nasib baik fun. Ada lah progress sket. 3 past years. Tp coursework cam tak mantap sgt ah. Tak cam CT3, 7. Sokay. Exam kena balun cukup2 sampai pueh hati.

So skang bleh lah lepak kejap. Enjoy Turkey. Niat di hati nak cari kepanasan sket. London sojuk woii!! Tp Puan Rahiyah ckp 1980s ada snow. La ni jgn harap ah kot. Tp fog ada ah.

Aku ngntuk actually skang. Muka dah sememeh dah. Hmm, dodgy (gaya hmm, Shaggy). Jumpa lagi. Oh wait, here are some pics from PNB UK. But later cam camera Smq abis bateri. Camera aku lagi ah, tak leh snap pics terus. Here u go:

One of the proofs that I'm not gonna betray PNB. (Hmm.. dodgy!)

I wonder why I always hang out with this guy. (Hmm.. shaggy!)

Pics from Bristol/Cardiff

Makan-makan kambing sambil naked weapon
We were lucky the bridge suddenly lid up!
Tiga manusia dan lima pepatung comel (termasuk Jonet)
"He he he... nampak 'Call Me' dia..."
Lepak-lepak di bilik Syira (banyak foto.. shaya menang moto)

Bristol Bang Bus

(WARNING: Look away if your mother, sister, girlfriend or brother's name resembles 'Minah' or 'Cik Minah')

Pagi Sabtu itu, aku bingkas bangun dari mimpi yang asyik setelah semalaman bermain Pro Evo bersama Smoke dan Fendi. Kami baru pulang dari Mawar (saksikan 2 episod yang lepas) namun perut kami belum reda maka kami meng-order Hippo Pizza dua regular. Kekenyangan yang tidak dapat dibendung menyebabkan kedua-dua Fendi dan Azeem tidur awal. Aku yang takut tidak dapat bangun sepaginya lantas bermain FM Manager. Namun tepat pukul 4.15 pagi aku pun beradu lah.

Sesampainya tiga sesumpah ke Victoria Station, aku, Fit dan Sam pun bergerak laju ke arah bus station. Nun tersergam indah megabus ke Bristol di mana terdapat kelibat seorang gadis India Britain yang tidak kurang enaknya (wajahnya). Kami pun menaiki bas yang kelihatan baru dan canggih itu seperti datuk-datuk yang membeli gelarannya dengan gah sekali.

Borak-borak bertiga brokeback kami pun qadha tidur masing-masing kelihatan selesa beradu dibuai mimpi. Lebih kurang pukul 10.30 pagi kami pun tiba di perkarangan bas di Bristol. Setelah 10 minit menanti maka kelibat syaitan kerdil, balaci ifrit utama pun muncullah dengan membawa kereta merah api neraka. Amat terhibur sekali apabila aku amati jam digital di dalam kereta syaitan bermisai itu. Saling tidak tumpah seperti jam bawah-kira (countdown) yang digunakan oleh The Predator sebelum meletupkan dirinya dan sekalian yang berada di sekitarnya.

Sesampainya kami di teratak empat jejaka Bristol kami pun dengan muka tak malu megharap masakan telah tersedia. Lembaga tegap berkaca mata tiba-tiba dapat kuperhatikan. ZaidPet namanya. Sudah lama tak kutemu asylum seeker itu. Beliau sedang bertukang bersama Encik Duggie yang obvius kelihatan baru bangun tidur.

Kami kemudian pergi menjamu selera di Nando's Bristol halal. Mana ada Nando's Halal kat Bristol! Hang buhung ah. Saya ni suspicous mind sikit. Dug berbelanja kami bertiga dan suasana dalam kedai milik saudagar arab yang sejuk itu gagal membantutkan selera kami yang bagaikan kerbau kontot membantai sampah sarap di belakang rumah Isa Samad (bukan nama sebenar).

Kemudian sesuatu kebalokan yang maha besar pon berlaku. Sam berborak menyatakan yang ayahandanya berasal dari Kulim. Tetiba Fitri dengan lantang suaranya menanyakan kembali kepada Sam "EH KULIM, BAPAK KO SAM?". Apa lagi... kami semua terburai ketawalah! Ini lagi grand dari 'pada ah lawang' - Mozac (lawa ah padang). Inilah akibatnya dok notice balok orang-orang lain. (jika ada sesiapa yang ingin share kebalokan yang lain sila tulis di shoutbox)

Hai Cik Minah... mari kita usik-usik 2X (ikut rentak lagu Jingling Nona)

Malam itu kami pun bergerak ke Cardiff di mana Abbas dan Fik (many thanks) menyediakan kami kambing gurun berkuah black paper. Sambil-sambil Sam mengusha DVD cerita Naked Weapon. Saya ni suspicious mind sket. Kufikirkan ini adalah cerita biru. Namun fikiranku meleset karena ia adalah cerita berkisarkan sekumpulan anak-anak gadis yang ropawan dilatih menjadi pembunuh upahan. Nasib baik artisan-artisan cun-cun belaka. Sungguh tidak masuk akal cerita ini. "dah namapun ceritaa....orang buat cerita..."

Saya usik Cik Minah, Cik Minah Usik saya... 2X

Malam itu kami pun bergeraklah ke panggung wayang. The Prestige. Mantap sekali lakunan Hugh Jackman. Sekembalinya dari panggung itu kami tidak henti-henti membincangkan tentang cerita itu. Last-last menemui kata putus bersama di mana mereka (Christian Bale) itu adalah saudara kembar.

Usik punya usik, lama-lama jatuh cinta.. 2X

Sekepulangan dari bandar Cardiff kami kami pun bantai makan kambing lagi bersama roti... aku yang sakit tekak dan tiada suara mencuba juga menelan kambing lazat itu.. dan berbual sama... Borak-borak dan gayut-gayut kemudiannya kami pun pulang ke Bristol.. gemersik sungguh lagu ini, ujarku... mengapa band itu (GG Group) tak pernah memenangi Juara Lagu? Jonet sememangnya mempunyai koleksi lagu-lagu 80-90-an yang amat kami gemari seperti Aris Ariwatan, Awie, Ramli Sirap dan lain-lain.

Hai Cik Minah mari kita main cinta.. 2X

Saya cinta Cik Minah, Cik Minah cinta saya... 2X

Sesampainya di rumah aku pun tidak tahan lagi mahu tidur dan terPD lah di kamar milik Yan yang kini berada di London. Ngntuk dan kuharap bangun-bangun nanti bolehlah tekakku kembali normal. Pukul 11pagi gitu barulah kubangun. Pagi-pagi saja kulihat rerakan melayan maikakis. Amacam ada stok baru? Sorang tu gayut lagi.. gayut.. gayut...

Cinta punya cinta, lama-lama rubber-rubber 2X

Encik Dug menjalankan tugas rutinnya memasak nasik goreng duggienya... sungguh lazat sekali.. sambil-sambil layan MTV Hottest Hook Ups.. borak punya borak kakis punya kakis kami pon plan mahu ke jejambat gantung di pekan Bristol. Sejukkk!! Kami bernasib baik kerana according to Jonet and Dug, telah sekian lama Bristol Council tak membuka lampu-lampu di jabatan gantung itu. Cantik tersergam indah...

Hai Cik Minah mari kita rubber-rubber 2X

Kesejukan bagaikan si rempit merempit tak berbaju kami pun cari tempat berteduh.. di rumah Wan Syahira Kolmee... bukan Comel tp Kolmee... mungkin karena lambat menge-sound kehadiran kami, tidaklah pula beliau yg kini berkaca mata menyediakan makan malam.. Kami agak lapar ketika itu... Ah PD ah!! Lapar + Sejuk cakap lu.. silap ah tak sound Syira awal-awal.. kalo tak boleh demand nasik beriyani.. Tak dapat makan kami pun PD lagi... borak-borak CIk Minah sayang.. dengar-dengar segerombolan batak Flabby Roggy dan tak lupa juger lagu Hijau Kuning.. dan of course, kisah budak2 medic... ada yang kena reject project berjudul "Why Islam prohibits Homosexual Activities". Confirm ah kena reject. Ini negara England. Ada juga kisah seorang jantan tak sedar diri racist berasal dari SOuth Africa berkulit putih bernama Jacques (French name). Jacques ialah musuh Syira Kolmee. Borak punya borak saudara Dug pon ternampaklah "Call me!" terpampang maka begitulah dapatnya nama baru Syira Kolmee.

Rubber punya rubber lama-lama naik kuda 2X

"Patut ko mengframekannya...!" Kami pon mengorder pizza dan Syira mengajar aku bermain poker. Baru je rasa nak balik dah ada permainan baru. jam dah menunjukkan pukul 11 malam. Setelah kalah melawan speed (Fit bermain keji) bersama Syira 3 kali berturut2 aku perform plak main poker malam tu. Biasa ah hasutan syaitan. Kami bertaruh menggunakan thumbtacks di mana Sam asyik2 all-in. Jonet dan Syira pergi beli chicken burger (supper) dan aku pun mula kalah.

Hai Cik Minah mari kita main kuda (joget kuda kepang) 2X

Agak-agak tgh malam itu Syira pon menghalau kami secara sopan kerana beliau mahu berstudi. Sampai sahaja di rumah kami pon sambung main pakau (pinjam thumbtacks Syira). Seblum tu layan video politik sambil-sambil pakau. Dug dah pun berdengkur giur maka kami bermain berempat. On fire malam tu maka ter-addicted lah main poker. Sampai ada plan nak beli poker set! Huarghh!!

Saya kuda Cik Minah, Cik Minah kuda saya 2X

Malam itu agak-agak pukul 5 pagi kami pun bantai tidurlah. Tekakku masih gatal2. Terasa rock lah plak hilang suara. Ramli Sarip wei!! Serak-serak basah IKLIM. "Kerana, isteri tua yang tak merestui, cinta kita..." (Bukan Aku Tak Cinta -IKLIM)

Kuda punya kuda lama-lama anak dua 2x

Pagi itu Dug masak lagi beralas perut maggi. Jonet nak ke kelas. Kami pun bekemas2 untuk pulang ke kota London. Baru sahaja nak burn lagu2 melayu tapi terasa malas la plak nak pilih lagu. Tiba-tiba Jonet call menyatakan tiada kelas aritu. Kami pun ke central untuk Lunch sebelum pulang ke London. Pinjam duit dug bantai ayam Non-katok. Jonet bercerita yang aku mengigau semalam. Tak tau ah mimpi apa tp amat dodgy sekali bunyinya. Seolah-olah terPD dalam mimpi. Biar betul....

Sunggun hiba kami lihat bas yang bakal bawa kami pulang. PD ah!! Jauh skali rupanya dengan bas yg kami naiki ke Bristol. Macam ReCon TownBus. Sakit pepinggangku nak tidur. Kami seolah2 emo tak berborak pon on the way balik London. Bas macam Bang Bus!!! Arghhh!!

Hai Cik Minah Anak kita sudah dua
Hai Cik Minah Anak kita sudah dua

Cik Minah jadi mak janda, saya jadi duda
Cik Minah jadi mak janda, saya jadi duda

Janda punya duda lama-lama datang bala
Janda punya duda lama-lama masuk neraka.

Many thanks to Bristolians!!! Sila-sila datang ke London ~~!!! PD ah!!

This nasi goreng is so good...

... and I decided to take a picture of it.

Slept late last night at about 3 a.m. Doing what? chatting. The thing that I missed doing since internet connection was so limited before this. Now that it's up an running and I have a new reason to procrastinate.

Nope I'm not gonna be the next Chef Wan but I have to say that was the best nasi goreng I've ever masak. Or probably I was so hungry?

Just came back from Jumaat prayer and I am thinking of reading some financial mathematics. Mind the word READING. You can't actually READ mathematics but I'm giving it a go. Still waiting for the table James Patel promised.

Next: Cik Minah sayang oi.. Cik Minah sayang~~~!

Ahong mengaku iban...

Malam itu kami bertiga Azeem, Affendy dan Azrul bergerak dari Neasden Station ke Edgware Road untuk menikmati masakan Malaysia di Mawar. Pertama kali aku ke sana. Terdengar juga kisah-kisah kelat tentang Mawar. Mungkin Mawar tak seindah bunga mawar mengembang dinihari.

Sempat jua bertiga bermain Pro Evo lima pabila tetiba Sang Zaid Si Gagah Perkasa menelefon meminta kami bergerak seawalnya. Terasa juga untuk menghabiskan permainan sejoli itu namun demi kawan, kami pon bergerak laju.

Sesampai di sana ternampaklah dua jejaka seorang berpunya. Fitri namanya. Aku memeluk Zaid gaya brokeback namun kerinduan tidak dapat lagi dibendung hati. Setelah sekian lama tidak kutemu Zaid. Sebelum ini asyik me-reject ku sahaja. Termasuklah seorang sahabat yang bapak besar bernama Ahongaa.

Seperti dipukau kami berenam duduk di luar dan bergurau senda. Walhal, angin sejuk kotaraya London menusuk ke dalam tulang sum-sum bagai jarum dalam selumbar. Arakian, kami pun masuk ke pentas Mawar di mana aroma hidangan masakan melayu, india dan cina terus menerjah ke dalam serombong kapal kami.

Kami duduk-duduk dan berbual-bual dan soalan pertama kuajukan Zaid adalah berkenaan rancangan masa depan. Lantas, Si Tua Berkaliber Azeem terus menge-sound aku meminta untuk rilek-rilek dulu, order makanan dulu. Panglima 4 Serangkai terus bingkas mem-backing aku dengan kalimat "rilek ah Smoke... tau ah dah kerjaaa". Aku cuma tersenum sinis menampakkan braces yang berumur 4 tahun itu.

Tatkala menunggu santapan diraja kami berbual-bual seloka gembira. Tiba-tiba muncul Apu of Bodom, panglima aktuari dari nergeri Sodom. Telahpun aku mengorderkan Nasi Gureng Selatan Thai untuknya maka Panglima Serangkai Keempat Nik Harris pon muncullah. Masing-masing lapar seumpama beruk belaan Ifrit Utama dan kami pon makan dengan lahap sekali kecuali aku yang sedikit keciwa dengan performance Tom Yam celup-celup mee itu. "Baik makan celup-celup Nini," ujarku selamba.

Tatkala kami sedang hirup tap water tiba-tiba gegak gempita bunyinya seolah-olah kota London dilanggar pengganas pengecut sekali lagi. Aku dah mula maki-maki emo gaya Jerui. Namun, kami semuanya sujud syukur karena yang hadirnya ialah si gadis Tiong Hwa bernama Ah-hong tetapi berupa Melayu. Kulitnya yang sawo matang gagal untuk meyakinkan JPA memberi duit kocek lebih menyara diri di metropolitan ini. Ahong seolah-olah sudah berubah dengan gaya dingin (cool)-nya itu apabila berpora-pora tidak mengenali Si Perkasa Waqi. Atau mungkin dia bebetul alpa karena gagal memenemui kami segerombolan Melayu sebelum ini.

Nah, kami berkumpul bersembilan berseloroh dan kami amat gembira. Pelbagai berita yang kami terima. Kenangan silam satu persatu terpancar dari minda kami. Dari perbualan serius (time machine Asarura) kepada perbulaan sensored. Nampaknya Guys' Night Out amat berkesan karena kami tidak perlu cover-cover pabila mahu berborak nakal.

Muncul kembali lawak klasik Jerui yang berunsur perkauman berkenaan masyarakat yang bertanggungjawab menarik turun purata sedunia kepada empat sahaja. Namun, Ahong telah mendapat ide-ide menarik yang belum pernah kudengar untuk mem-backing dirinya. "I am half Iban half Chinese. That's why kulit gelap macam melayu." ujar meka dengan sedikit bahasa penjajah. Namun aku masih rasa Ahong masih contribute dalam statistik sedunia itu. Alahaai Empat je??

Arakian, Ahong bengis maka me-retaliate dengan kata2 "Bloody hell, muka macam ini pon buleh dapat ramai awek ka." Hahaha! Aku sendiri tergamam malu. Pandai pula si tembam ini bermain kata. Aku tewas tak terkata. 4 Serangkai po terburai ketawa. Hahaha!

Kami pun pulang ke rumah memasing. Ahong yang berniat membelanja sago tidak menjadi kerana tiba2 duit lebih. Abang Mawar yang tak henti-henti mengutip 'bowls' and 'plates' cuma mengundang amarah kami bersembilan. Dengan gaya pondan tak jadi, "Can I take your glasses or bowls.. whatever you call it..." Aku pun dengan gaya gaban menjawab, "Mangkuk... mangkuk.." Sinis. Takkan tak reti cakap Melayu dah kot.... "tau ah dah kerjaaaa..."

Malam itu tiada balok berlaku. Nantikan entry akan datang berjudul Bristol bersama Cik Minah.

p/s: this is my first entry since ada internet pagi tadi, which went on LIVE about two hours ago. heheh.

Currently coping up...

We will probably get the internet next weekend.. sky Broadband.. 10 pounds p/m, unlimited, 16Mbps.. u wont get that from TMNet..

will be going to Bristol weekend ni, esok, ngn Fit n Sam.. jmpa Duggie, Abg Jonet, Syira, Shasha, Zaid Pet etc.. last time aku gi 2 yrs ago kot.. makan pancake.. pelik gak aku struggle nak abiskan.. being small, sometimes nafsu makan aku buas gak (pasnih nak gi bantai 1 pound pizza plus nasik)..

Pastu aku nak study.. aku dah pesan study table from landlord.. gaya cam nak bagi tp tatau bila dia nak deliver..

Pastu gi jmpa Kamal At-tartuk in Turkey... i mean what is left of him.. the so called modern muslim leader.. aku rasa dia sesat.. haha

Doakanlah aku berjaya mencapai cita2 di sini... pray that everything goes smoothly

Familiarity breeds complacency

Cant agree more with Ope who came out with the quote above in his latest entry. I came to City Univeristy to read MSc Actuarial Science and was slapped with crucial blow about the familiarity of the subjects, excluding CT4, CT6 and CT8. I became lazy and what's that other word I'm looking for... err.. complacent. Finding it difficult to swallow really because skipping classes is like my middle name, while feeling pretty bad for wasting me dad's money.

But come on, Economics? Probabilty? Mathematical Stats? Financial Maths? Assurances and Annuities? Again?

Thank God I'm not doing auditing and obviously not gonna work with an audit company. Repetitive work doesn't suit me at all. But hey, what sort of work is not repetitive?

Come on Jerui. You cannot blow it this time. Not ever!

Heard good news looming PNB about the increment of the salary. Hopefully, the environment in PNB would improve substantially. And yeah, people would forget about my outburst in the forum.

I agitate people in forums all the time. Remember ngaum.com? Haha. Classic. Honestly, I still think the cyber world (i.e. kawanster, ngaum, pnbscholars) is still a virtual world. Where I can create controversies, but frankly, I wasn't THAT serious! Come on, it's just a space where provoking is normal. It's like beating a friend who is a football star by nature in Winning 11.

Look at what people wrote in their blogs about Pak Lah, the Khairy Chronicles, Mahathir or Noraniza Idris. Speculations, accusations and bullshits. Dont tell me you gonna believe all that crap. They might be true in a way but surely they were blown out of proportion. Mat Tambah kan ramai Melayu ni...

It sounds controversial, and people love these things. They sound funny and malicious. Of course it's interesting. But it only comes to the question of who/what to believe?

My style? Just read. You dont have to beileve any of this shit. Then make your own evaluations. Don't go and spread lies coz in the end, you are gonna get it. People will remember you for what you said. Not good for your reputation eh?

I remember reading a bulletin post in friendster. About the 'wasiat Sheikh Ahmad'. I dunno why people can even believe this crap. It even involved a close friend's grandfather in the post. And the most ridiculous thing is when people start to spread in friendster, and make some of us Muslims apostate in a way.

Look at Ayah Pin. He's a controversial figure. That's why almost 60,000 people of all backgrounds worshipped him. He even said that he's the creator of Hinduism. A God if you like. Policemen, politicians, engineers, doctors and architects believed this old wiry man. Why cant they take a second thought and say, "Lets see, I can even kick his ass and I'm pretty darn sure he's gonna feel the pain, or even shit in his pants, he is without a doubt, a human being, just like me, why shoud I worship him then?"

Do not be obsessed with people. Or anyone. Not even a politician. Have an ego a bit. Have a look at the person you idolise and start asking the question, "He's no different from me. I can be better than him". This way, will avoid people from joining the sects group.

Bear in mind that the former PM and the current PM are different types of persons. So, dont go and wonder why the foreigners recognise the former more than the current. Simply because the former is somewhat more controversial and a bit aggresive. But this is simply the way human beings react. They will always remember controversial things, not the good things.

I like people who work, rather than talk. People who is quiet rather than talking aggresively thus creating tensions and disharmony. People who promote peace and unity. Ceyy cey.

I, on the other hand, created havocs in forums before. Hence the phrase "Jeghui Emo". Being the man of my words, I wont even vote myself to be a good leader. But there's always time to change.

Updates...

Nothing much.. went to an Italian restaurant for supper with Smq.. met Mona, Maya, Hajar, Durra and kawan Hajar lupa ah nama dia.. cant blame for being forgetful coz there were so many other hot chics in there.. the waitress for instance.. and three Lebanese/Moroccan girls.. talk about hubba hubba lova lova... Ermmm shaggy!

Before that we had dinner and I rate it was the best masakan at the moment.. ayam stew.. insipired by Samwise Gamjhee's cooking days before.. kenyang gila makan then at the italian restaurant had spaghetti with fruits de mer.. (buah-buahan laut a.k.a seafood).. makan lagi wa wahh..

had a detour before that (bape kali before that daa.. timeline sucks) at Harrods.. usha dari luar je ah coz dat time dah 830... depa tutup kol 8.. but saw many super cars.. the one that blew our minds was a Bentley Coupe GT kaler ungu.. number plate arab.. haha! Others were like Ferrari 350 Spider, Porsches, hummer limosines and Cardilac limos etc. Haiyoo.. bila lah nak mampu beli kereta2 camni ah?

So borak2 semua dlm restaurant mcm2 citer.. love stories, gaduh stories, annoying blog stories, gay stories (they were sitting right behind us, sad sad story).. yada yada.. I was sharing the food with Smq that seemed kinda gay but atleast we didnt hold hands!! LOL!

Finally sent my application for exemption for courses CT1, CT2, CT3, CT5 and CT7 last Friday. Five subjects. Saja je try2. Takde ah mengharap sangat. I'm just trying to reduce the tense of 8 CT courses in a year plus a dissertation. But again, I know I cannot over-rely on this. Papahal kena study gak. Exams starting 15th Jan. I know it sounds a bit early to start studying now. However, aku dah usha soalan2 agak susah gak ah.. kalo x study, tak dpt exemption, kantoi exams, mati aku...

Hmm ngntuk ah plak. Chow dulu.

Laughing Out Loud (LOL)

I cant stop laughing my ass off as I was told by the IOA officer she didnt received any letter from me regarding the IOA membership payment. What? You think I have an imaginary post office now?? Haha!! Well, I never blame them for this problem to rise but i can see that UK Post Offices are going down now after much speculations from the press.

Weeks ago I thought I was gonna contribute to the ailing mail services by sending many letters and opting first class delivery. Now that I am pissed the most important ones didnt reach the destination at all. Who to blame? The dogs? Going neck on neck with the postmen? Or the dogs who thought they could retrieve every single cents from a cheque? Idiots!

Anyway, some good news, BT finally conceded defeat after allowing us to connect for free (50pounds deposit). However, I am not gonna say it's all done until we have internet connection. Last night, Smq called the new number we got and it was ringing... but the house phone did not.. sounds fishy.. I'm going to say we are heading for another 'false hope' accomplishment from the Brits...

Later guys

London oh London

After a very emotional week in Malaysia, I returned to London with much enthusiasm.

Good news! There is progress with BT. This time, we only need to pay a deposit of 50pounds instead of 125pounds new line installation fee. Good work Smq.

However, IOA has yet to return my application. Tension ah ni.. kang lambat-lambat tgk2 x dpt exemptions. Buat penat je... haihh.

Aku rindu Msia.

Aku rindu family.

Aku rindu Abby.

Kemalasan kembali. Tadi elok2 dah eager nak blaja. Skang dah malas balik...

Back in Malaysia, for a while

Touched down KLIA at about 6.00pm, last Friday. Tot it was quite a quick journey coz I only managed to watch 2 movies (Cars and XMen3) with the latter being absolute nonsense (overrated, boring and Charles Xavier, Jean Grey and Scott Summers died). The last time I saw these heroes died was in the Onslaught Episodes but kicking the bucket in the hands of Phoenix? What the hell? Phoenix was nothing in comic books. Not even Apocolypse.

Had this little time to blog coz it's early in the morning and then I am off to get some signatures for my certs and transcripts. Oh I forgot to tell about my graduation ceremony. I came with my parents and we reached Shah Alam on that Saturday morning at about 7.20a.m. Prejudging the malay culture of being 30minutes late, we opted for breakfast at McD instead.

We thought wrong. I reached the campus and I saw numbers being called. 472 i think. My number was 126 (2 points short of 124 haha - some people would notice this joke) and you're damn right I was late. Gelabah gila! Walked towards the line and finally saw my friends from CS222. Thank God. Thought they had entered the Dewan Sri Budiman. Saw Renee in tudung fro the first time. She looked fantastic (now, dont get carried away). Piah helped me with the jubah wearing and I was caught wearing brown shoes instead of the mandatory black (racist siot). And the officer ushered me to the place where I changed my Clarks shoes to their Albertini, shining like kepala Sadiq Sigaraga shoes. And then voila. Came the song played by the uni's orchestra. Still playing in my head. I tell you the song did make me sob.

Unexpectedly, came the time to go up the stage and take the scroll. Cepat gila... Tak sempat borak panjang2 lagipun. Abby reserved the seats for my parents and yup they got to sit in the cool, cozy building although they were late comers. It was blazing hot outside (panaihh Malaysio niehh - gaya budak UK tak sedar diri, tiru slang Encik Hanip). I took the scroll elegantly (note that I didnt go for their Raptai a.k.a rehearsal) and Tan Sri Amar Sulaiman Daud replied with a beaming smile. Well, atleast I didnt make a fool of myself on the stage since rapping KMYS Please Stand Up, Please Stand Up hahahaha. But Kamal was fine. I was not. Ahong was not. Hahaha.

Oh wait. I did blow some kisses to the camera.

I got down the stage and hugged my parents. I felt a bit relaxed instead of emotional I dont know why. Probably because I know it is not over yet. I still have a lot to do to qualify.

Got some pics taken and sempat amik gambar dengan kawan2 kat tangga. And then we went home to get ready for the dinner celebrating me and my bro Azua who also graduated a few months ago. I had lobster and I gave something back by buying a cake for my parents, to show some appreciation (I know I will never be able to pay them back). Abby and Kak Nani (Azua's fiancee) also joined the dinner at VS, Damansara.

I had a speech to make and it was smooth. Later abah made his speech with some good news derived from the fact that the state government finally paid off their debts to us. Thank God I dont have to emo writing in PNB Scholars forumer arguing with ungrateful scholars anymore. Haha.

Let me touch a bit about what I wrote in the forumer. I speak my mind and that's exactly how I felt. How can I just keep quiet seeing ppl complaining while I should be the one whining like a dog since I was not given the chance to study overseas with PNB's money after A-levels? Ok fine I did terribly in A-levels but did alright in UiTM and still PNB said "No" despite saying things like "dont worry, we will send you overseas to do your Masters if you got a first class degree". And the talk about remuneration in the forumer was not ceased for months! Of course some 'unfortunate' scholars would be pissed a bit right. And of course I have to say something. Jaga ah hati scholars lain jugak. Kalo tak pon. Jaga ah hati staff lain2 yang bukan scholars, tak fly, tak round-round Europe, tak dapat best UK education. And who are we to complain since we are already owned by PNB. Just be positive and do what you have to do lah.

I hate discontent surrounding an environmet. I hate it when people show hatred and violence. I know some still wont agree with what I said. I know we deserve better. In fact I myself played along initially in the forumer simply to see people's reaction. And then came this Hari Raya Pertama in London pagi2 I was told off about what I wrote in the forumer. "jaga hati diorg sket ko tak pikir ada org dah kawen semua". Hati diorg nak jaga, hati budak2 lain cemana lak? Aku nak makan pon pikir dua tiga kali. However, aku tak perasan plak ada married PNB staff yg complain kt forum tu. Banyak singles je.

I guess that was probably why I thought raya in London was overrated. Mood swing. Nasib baik kawan-kawan datang London ceria la sket hati ini. Anyway, I dont hold grudge on anyone. I understand other ppl's opinion and I really had the benefit of the doubt why I was told off that morning. For what I said that hurt anyone, I apologise. Like Saddam Hussein said, "Lets forgive and shake hands". No no he's not my idol. He's a terrorist, just like Bush. Haha.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I left Malaysia for just a month over and found out lots of things:

1.New long distance love birds (semua org dah tau kot). My buddy Lan who I met yesterday also dah kapel with a sweet chinese lady.

2.One of my ex dah tunang. Raya ke-5 lepas. Baru nak ajak lepak2 as usual. Dah tunang ni, payah ah sket haha. She'll be married next yr kot but rasanya tak sempat nak gi.

3.Mahathir seems to be quiet now. Hopefully it's the last thing I heard about this grudge with PM. I pray for your health and hope you could concerntrate on 'more important things'.

4.The Mongolian model murder was really a shocking stuff.

5.Abby and my family blend quite easily.

6.Lan beli Neo.

7.Heard about the SPM2000 buka puasa gathering that didnt really pull off that well. Low turn ups. Come on guys. We are KYSians. 10 years dah kawan nieh. Bila lagi nak bukak posa sama2.

8.Arsenal 3-0 Liverpool (sorry Ope). I didnt exepct you guys to be whooped that much.

Fin.

Update

Still no internet connection. Still waiting for IOA ARN number (thus slowing the exemption application process). Still dreaming of becoming an actuary. Dreaaaam... dreams dreams dreams dreams.. Dreaaaam..

Went to Notts Games. Didnt play for any team. Didnt turn up for training for the City Uni team, thus, takkan nak buat star, tak train pastu terus nak main first team macam... (fill in the blanks). Saw Pak Topa (uncle mustapha mohamad). Tot of tegurring him. But cam malas. Shafie Apdal pon datang.

Lepak rumah Kamal, Aizad and Seow. Won Pro-Evo against Kamal 3-0. Then we drew 1-1. Kamal penat kot. Training for the night's performance. I missed the show. But I know Kamal and Sal duet nanyi lagu My Boo acoustic with Qisti doing the strumming, plucking etc..

Contemplated between staying over for the night ke nak balik London. Decided to balik London. Sbb dah bayar duit bas 9pounds.

Takde citer sangat. Bosan2 je. Nanti dah ada tenet baru best blogging.

Ahong betray aku again bila aku ajak dia gi raya MSD London. Overrated tul raya kt London ni. Even the chics couldnt woo me.

Ni apa citer political analyst bunuh Mongolian model pakai bom? gila ganas... Mongolian muka cam chinese kan? sure lawa model tu.. pahal lah nak bunuh dia plak.. takkan sbb dia nak report bini ko ko main kayu lapan? hahaha!

Kat sini berita far worse.. veils lah.. apa lah.. get a life la wei.. pi settle problem Israel-Palestine tu.. why cant we have world peace?? Arghhh!

K wei.. later

Why is Tun M so angry?

Just got back from Solatul Jum'ah... somewhere in Willesden and another Muslim owned cyber cafe is where I'm blogging right now.. only that this guy 'forgot' to pray this time haha..

The raya vibe is still surrounding me but i dont think the local muslims find it that way.. business as usual.. I found out in Malaysia, some Muslims didnt take advantage of the holy month to reconcile.. I mean, come on, we are not gonna live forever, and for some of us, we are in the 80 something of age and yet we cant keep our mouth shut..

Well, he said he wanted to resign because he wants to concentrate to 'bekalan akhirat'.. finally realising he's a bit old.. but didnt he just 'meludah ke langit terpalit muka sendiri' again after claiming a former Singaporean PM 'unjust' for interfering with its gov policies?

You readers ask urselves.. is there anything wrong with the current gov led by Pak Lah? The stock exchange index composite seems fine, the deficit (obviously made by a former PM you know who) is been slashed by 0.5%, and the current PM is promoting anti-corruption and transparent government campaigns (which never happen in Mr Venomous Tongue's reign).

What else can you ask for?

Unless you are a fan of money and greediness is in your blood, I guess you cant agree with Pak Lah.. I heard some Malays were angry when Pak Lah awarded scholarships to Non-Malay students last year after they were rejected in the first place by JPA.. calling Pak Lah "Perosak Bangsa Melayu" and saying "PakLah sokong Cina" and many bad things were said about Allahyaramah Endon. Ask yourself again. Being a Malay, what if your favourite son who is 4th in ranking of the best SPM student 2006, and was rejected for scholarship? Surely you will be furious right? Even JPA said that your son is a weakling who doesn't do sports, curicular activities that much, surely you still think your son deserves to get a scholarship, right?

So if you ask me why Tun M is very angry with the current gov, I must say it must be because some decisions were made are againts his personal interest.

I really think Malays should unite. Even PAS and Keadilan itself must take this golden opportunity to unite with the sincere, ethical and transparent gov. With Pak Lah at the helm, I have the confidence to say such things.

If Haniz thought TMNet was lousy, try BT...

I havent kicked a ball since my arrival in the UK..

Still got no internet at home.. the only thing that is missing (since we announced the arrival of Sky).. feeling very2 empty.. i'm applying to get some exemptions but even the affiliate application hasn't settled yet (due to the increase of membership fee without notice)..

Gunner in London

Stuck in Heathrow Airport for around SIX bloody hours. No one reminded me about the Medical Checkup. About 200 'migrants' from all over the world queued up for Health Care Checkup. Took about 2 minutes for the checkup after 3 hours standing and 3 hours sitting in a queue, mostly Pakistanis.

Took a cab to Usop's place. That should cost around 80 pounds per person but thank God for creating me a Malay. Split the fair between us both and only paid 42 pounds but still thought it's bloody expensive. First time Londoner symptom I guess. All price is converted to RM.

Right now wasting my time blogging in a PC lab while other students doing serious academic work. Thinking of applying for 4 exemptions which include Financial Maths, Probability and Stats, Finance and Financial Reporting and finally Economics. Gotta be honest. purposely ponteng some classes coz can't help listening and reading the same damn thing again and again.

Still no news from JPA Agong and B**. Much speculations about my future in UK and many have suggested I wud betray MY BELOVED PNB. Damn do I really look like a 'Keji' guy, a betrayer? Haha! What I can say now is, "it depends on may different factors, like the award of any scholarship, for instance."

Azlan came down to London from Dulbin and there were 8 of us breaking the fast in the famous Halal Nando's in Bayswater. Had a fight with Ihab and he showed good skills in a girl called Xiaoyu in Tekken 5. Had a go at Lan and it proves that Kazuyaa controlled by him is seriously overrated. Haha! But he still managed to beat Ihab in Round Ones though.

We played PS2 in Neasden by the way, which is 30 minutes from Moorgate via Metropolitan Line, right after Isya' and Tarawih 8. My house is now full of barakah. Ameen.

As the grand finale to sum up our night, I battled Lan in Pro Evo 5. The match ended up draw. I am still searching for a player who I cannot beat and Lan has only played once. I first thought Smq is the one I'm searching for after a draw and a loss before I beat him handsomely 4-0.

Ugh a bit serious about Winning 11/Pro Evo huh? You damn right we are serious! When was the last time you heard the players teach you any of the skills like scoring form a long-range effort, power dribbles, super-cancel and perfect free kicks? All you hear is "timing kena betul" - Jeg, "Ikut logic main bola lah"-Chot and "Ntah aku tekan je"- Mr I-forgot-Who. Haniz ke Fendy ntah haha. So u bet we are so serious about pro Evo/W11.

So I heard PNB has a new direction towards the Mgt Training Program? Sapa masuk department sapa? Do tell me ok, Ope, anyone.

Discovered the date for ITM convocation to be on the 11 Nov, perfect timing. I will touch down on KLIA on the 10th. Perfect timing. But there's no way I could go for the rehearsals. Have asked Piah the favour to get my jubah on the 4th.

Alright that's all for today. Gotta post my Oyster Application.

"Not to sound spectacular"

Just got back from JPA Agong Scholarship interview. www.jpa.gov.my for the list of candidates. Tough competition. Was told that the panel targets people from the Applied Science. Gotta admit I suck at interviews. Had a bright start only to see the performance declining towards the end. Not expecting to get a call.

Been very2 busy lately. Tomorrow, another interview. This time it's gonna be mind blowing. Need to prepare some slide-shows. Was told about the interview only yesterday!

Haven't finished packing yet. Ah, well sempat blog lagi. Nvm, saja nak release tension. Made my decision since got the offer to read MSc Actuarial Science in City University but the deferment given by PNB helped smoothen the process. Missing my PNB mates.

Have no intention of going to UK simply to sound spectacular. Really think it's an offer that I couldn't refuse thus had to break the bank if I had to. Had a heavy heart to do so initially but after some advices given by colleagues, agreed it's a good investment.

A MSc Act Science scroll and 8 IOA exemptions being offered. Therefore, will be able to kiill 2 birds with 1 stone. Hopefully yup.

Why not LSE? PNB will definitely sponsor you if you can find a place in LSE. Nope. There's no IOA qualification that I can benefit from. Looking forward, focussed to become an actuary.

But, must take step by step approach. We'll see what's the next step after a year.

Flight at 12.00 tengah hari KLIA. Saturday. 23rd Sept. Smq! Aku sampai kol 6p.m. Will come back for UiTM graduation Nov 9 - Nov 12.

Tadah.

A worthy Saturday

Slept late again on Friday night but I knew I hadta wake up early that morning to attend a seminar. Not that I had already starting to appreciate Anthony Robbins or any motivational speakers (coz I'm a wee bit egoistic about listening to these ppl) but it was for my former classmates. T'was their final project entitled "Million-dollar Career, You can Make it too!" led by Arween and Nadd.

But kudos to Epul tho for his and his friend's effort on the flyers, banners etc coz they were just world-class. Good first impression I must say. However, I must say there is a room of improvement for the shirt and car sticker but I still bought them.

Generally, I honestly think they made a good job! A job well done miraculously. Ugh that might sound a bit exaggerrating simply because they are my friends? No. I don't do that. I give fair evaluations all the time no matter if you are the enemy or my father. I'm saying it was a Houdini-like performance because from I know, they were not given financial back-up by the HEP (Hal-Ehwal Pelajar) to the annoyance of Arwin who did well overcoming the pressure with great composure. What they did was selling hundreds of t-shirts bearing actuarial science logo and stuff in order to break-even, let alone put a surplus of the RM200 each of the students cum organisers had to fork out.

As for the panels, they were late. Except Mahadi. Yup that millionaire guy yada-yada. Atleast he was early. Other two speakers were Fara Fauzana (WOhOO!!) and Mr Norhamdi from Bank Negara. The former is a friendly, bubbly and LAYAN while the latter was a bit boring (Dato' Ali was rumored to have been sleeping while Hamdi gave his talking). But kinda respect the guy from Kelantan though. From scratch, merantau mencari rezeki di KL. And both him and Fara was UiTM grad tho. Bangga-bangga! Haha.

Mahadi... on the other hand.. cam biasalah.. just like last semester. Same ol same ol but he's got new spectacles tho!

The food was excellent. At first I thought takda lauk. But then when I explored the nasik bungkus, ada daging kari, which was the bomb! And heard also the initial supplier was supposed to be of Mr Hamdi's catering co. But it was scrapped in the final minute because he intended to increase the price. I mean, what the hell. This is just a seminar which benefits the students, we are not making profit whatsoever. Kinda shocked when I heard this.

Took pics with Fara Fauzana, Arween and Mr Hamdi while picking up hadiah cabutan bertuah. Haha. That was like the poyo-me antics, as usual, It was actually presented by Mr Hamdi but I cheekily invited Fara Fauzana to take some snaps with me. She didnt reject me tho. The humble and talkative radio host was such an inspiration for me. She obviously brought the energy around the hall with her side of stories and advices.

After the event, went to take pics and met friends and thanks for the good luck wish and all and hope to see you guys again before I fly off to the UK. I am glad to be part of the Actuarial Science student in UiTM and despite you guys' complaints over the size of my tummy, I assure you I will never forget all the things that we shared and cherish together (latest being the Bukit Cerakah and the Seminar and also, the broo-ha-ha of the latest couple in CS222). tee hee hee!

So after a drink with Yang I went home feeling tired. Semalam tidur lambat ma. But I promised my KYS friends a night at the karaoke. Only the second time aku gi karaoke the first one wud be with the KMYS friends at Sg Petani featuring Lenoq. Took WFL5555 to Ampang with minimal minyak (gamble) and arrived home safely without having to refill. Oh, Putra LRT tutup pukul 11pm btw.

-----------------------------------------------------------

It was another night to remember. Sohai (Duet Partner), Kebau (Man of the Night), Dyah, Chot (surprisingly powerful vocals), Pah (Abang Ada Band), Pecot (Awie), Eidy(Abg Control), Eznal (Doktor Jiwang Rock Kapak), and Hare (Abg Suara tak sampai). Haha! Well, we all semua suara tak sampai ma. So, when choosing the songs, mmg kena play safe. Kalo UKs ke Awie ke, Amy Search ke, jaga2lah keluaq suara kelawaq Rye or more notoriously suara stim. Hehe Peace Rye. You know I love you.

Well, Ciput, again was absent tho. And 8tv celebrity Helmy was missing also.

We all had fun really. Mmg enjoy abis. Sampai skang I still think karaoke helps me a lot in eliminating stress etc (especially time2 camni -- takda scholar boo-hu-hu screw you, u-know-who) . I feel like I was reborn! (despite suara katak). Sohai made a great duet mate. We even have a picture of ourselves singing Duu-duu-duuu. Haha. Cencurut (Sohai) and Tikus Mondok (Jeg).

So the last song we sang together mmg semua macam dah hilang akal (that includes Chot). Still think he's a cool, control macho guy? Haha. Dia dah tunjuk belang dah mementang 'single' for a week already. Peace Syirs! Haha! The last song was Don't Look Back in Anger! Terjerit2!! Hahah! Sampai lupa gelas satu dipecahkan. Sib baik tak kena ganti.

So lepas tu lepak2 Pelita. Lots of chics baru balik from clubbing. That time dah 330 to 4 in the morning. Cuci mata, as usual. Sib baik Payat takda kalo tak sure tercengang.

Haha. I just realise I selalu quote nama org dalam blog lately. Ah well promote kawan2.

K wei. You can view the pics at my friendster. Tried to upload here cam tak bleh je. Nanti cuba2 lg.

Adebayor Ade-bola Ade-Class!!

It was a great team performance by the Gunners who were considered as 'relegation candidate' against the team in sparkling form Manchester United. Arsenal were without talismanic striker Thierry Henry with a broken foot and Robin van Persie who picked up a hip injury foolishly trying to keep the ball in play against Hamburg SV.

But it was the unsung hero Sheyi Emmanuel Adebayor though who deservely found the net after teniciously causing troubles to the Devils defence. He made sure Gilberto didn't come home red-faced after the saxaphone playing Brazilian slipped and missed the chance from the penalty spot.

I was with Abby at the time after watching Liverpool crashed out 1-0 to Chelsea who got their German giant Ballack sent-off for violent conduct, stamping on Mohamed Sissoko. Dirk Kuijt and skipper Gerrard missed a sitter's each and handed the reigning champions valuable 3 points. I must say Liverpool were unlucky not to atleast get away with a point. Ope was in hartamas also with Cherap, Liza, Amir and Edd. Sorry guys couldn't join you guys I was spending quality time with Abby before I jet off. :)

I must admit everytime I watch Arsenal play, it is as if I was the gaffer. I get emotional and even talk to the TV giving instructions to the players, making foul languages to the referee. Haha. But I must single out one incident that was really jaw-dropping when watching last night's game.

People know I love to make predictions before a game starts. And it always favour my odds mostly. But I found my latest rival. Abby guessed and yeah she got it right. Almost accurately. She suggested the game will see an Arsenal win with the Red Devils failing to score and Adebayor scoring in the 85th minute. And she repeated saying it several times.

And when the Togolese international poked home after a great work by Fabregas, my eyes were on the timing count down and it said "84:58". Overjoyed by the goal and thrilled by her latest magic antic, I straight away said "You're a genius!!". We found the goal we wanted (since she's supporting Arsenal also even before she met me) to the dejection of 78% Man Utd fans at the square.

In the end of the day, I know it was a night to remember. Sorry Smq!

Arsenal Squad Match Rating:
Lehmann 8, Eboue 7, Gallas 9, Toure 8, Djourou 8, Rosicky 8, Fabregas 9, Ljungberg 7, Gilberto 6, Hleb 8 (Julio Baptista 7), Adebayor 9 (Flamini 6)

Thank God Hoyte didn't play.

Jalan-jalan Bukit Cahaya Seri Alam

Just got back from a tiring but exciting weekend gathering with former CS222 UiTM classmates. Had a go on a bike but showed lack of match practice and tummy blossom. The food was fine though and the games put weight into the claim that it was one helluva great occassion! Many thanks to the organisers and it was sweet of you guys to give me a wonderful send off.

Pics with quotes:

Thanks again! :)

A little futsal gathering

Last Monday Smq and Jeg went to join the PNB Weekly Futsal at Ampang Sports Planet, only my second time playing in that area. Smq parked his car at Kelana Jaya LRT (no need to pay one if you follow Mr Jeg's advice) and I tot we're already 9 minutes late.

But we weren't. Bumped into PNB workers Ipe, Cherap, Sya, Asma, Fadh and Ope (who got injured no thanks to Mat Pah robust play last week). Had a lil chat and then met Nicky and Yan Abbas (potong rambut mcm budak sekolah) on the way to my beloved PNB building. Then saw Haniz from the exit with Sami Sani. Obviously Sani just got a haircut and would be joining us for futsal.

So the line-up goes. Ramai gak yang main ni. Matdiyah, Kebau, Maj, Sohai, Chot, Jeg, Payat, Haniz, Sani, Lada, Smq, Farid and Anep (kwn Payat). Ada tournament kat court sebelah. Gila stamina tinggi diorg team KWSP lawan team apa tah.

So mmg best ah main aritu. Scored 11 goals (ye Chot aku keep track my goal scores) and 3 shots that hit the post (ye Ipe you will hear me bragging about my goals in the next coupla years). Haha. Nah, duduk depan goal bleh la score (habis humble la tu). Goal of the day: Haniz's. Scored from inside of his half while the keeper (Payat) with his back behind the ball baru nak gi jaga goal. Haha. Thuderous!

Pastu lepak Payat and Chot's crib. Pergh aku cakap ko. Encik Sidek mmg baik hati orgnya. I think they've got a bargain. RM750 per house tong-tong tiga org RM250 dapat apartment siap dgn perabot, mesin basuh, tv (rosak), jam dinding, meja kerusi katil semua lengkaplah cakap lu. Cuma PS2 je takda lg. And TV. Hiburan dah ada esok mmg heaven gak ah duk apartment tu. Dah la dekat nak gi kerja.

So Payat and Chot jamu kitorg bermacam2 jenis air ada. Vanilla coke ada, Peel Fresh ada, air sejuk ada, coklat from Russia pon ada. Mmg pemurah diorg ni. Air susu je tak laku. Pastu ada kerepek. Haha. Best woo kerepek pedas. Aku tak henti2 kunyah.

Then Pakyat yg bagaikan Santa Claus kasik dak2 ni barang2 dari Scotland. Sambil tu aku borak2 ngn dak2 ni. Then aku masuk kejap je dlm bilik Payat dia bagi aku fridge punya lekat2 tu gambor Scotland. How cute. But when suddenly he pulled out baju sejuk from his closet jenama GAP and kasik kt aku, aku dah cam... what?

"Pakai ah kat sana nanti" kata Payat. Terharu plak aku rasa. I know we had our differences before tp korg tau ah bdk2 KYS mmg bond diorg lain macam. Ngam gila. I tot I cudn't accept the windbreaker tp cam wth, aku scholar pon xde lg nak pegi so I might need it takyah beli baru dah. Kebau 'berebut-rebut' ngn aku hahaha. Thanks a lot Payat.

Oh by the way, Smq cool gila coz dlm apartment tu semua bdk KYS dia sorg je Koleq. Haha. Peace bro.

Pastu borak2 kisah lama mandi siap semua kitorg gerak gi makan. Then aku ngn Sohai cam familiar tmpt makan tu. Then pandang atas tgk ada 3 buildings apartment. Mcm rumah Abg Chot. Then tetiba ada plak Abang Chot then barulah teringat cam pnh makan situ skalik ngn Epi and Pooyen if I'm not mistaken. Best gak makan situ. Air mango (ala-ala Mango special Murni) Rm1.50 je.

Aku, Kebau ngn Haniz tak tahan tgk gelagat abg sorg ni dok mintak2 rokok. Merayu2. Mula2 mintak satu Haniz bagi. Second time dia mintak Kebau dah ckp xde dah xde dah. Woo bagi betis nak peha lak.

"Boleh laa bang.. satu je!!" Hahaha.

Time makan tu bukak lah kisah gossip panas. I managed to keep my mouth shut though. Risau dah Sohai hahaha.

Pastu balik Haniz antar ke LRT. AKu budget Smq sampai Shah Alam kol 12 malam.

SELINGAN: Arini aku amik Maj kt tmpt interview dia on the way balik Sunway kena saman traffic. Kat bwh jambatan motorola tu. Dok gebang ckp kt Maj tu illegal lane and tetiba je polis terkam. Abg polis pon mintak rasuah RM50.

Polis Corrupt: Nak saman ke taknak saman? Taknak saman pon boleh. Abang tolong saya, saya tolong abang.

Aku: Tolong cemana tu? (buat2 bodoh naif)

Polis Corrupt: Saman dah murah RM200 boleh bayar. Tapi taknak bayar pon boleh. (tau pon diorg kurgkan saman nak kurgkan corruption la mangkuk, tp ko mintak rasuah gak pastu makan)

Aku: So, cemana ni? Kalo saman berapa.

Polis: Terus terang cakap eh. Kalo kena saman ni mau RM300 (aihh td ckp Rm200 cepat tul dah ubah plak, marketing strategy ni). So kalo abang tolong saya, RM50 je. Tapi kalo nak saman saya bagi. (mmg gaya selamba wei, ni selalu buat aku rasa ni. Confirm hidup tak berkat)

Aku: (buat2 check duit ada la RM70). Hmm takpehlah bagi saya saman!

Taknak deh aku subahat rasuah. I know SHuen wont agree with me tp I chose to take the saman rather than kena jawab ngn Tuhan besok. Eh, wait a minute, diorg takut ke pada Tuhan actually? Nama je Melayu kot. Anak2 makan duit haram hasil rasuah ko. (sama la some org kastam). Pastu anak2 besar jadik Mat Pit, hasil duit rashuah.

Honestly, it's a bitter pill to swallow bila tgk bangsa aku corrupt. Harap kawan2 aku besar besok jgn corrupt dah. Kalo aku corrupt besar nanti, ingtkan aku pada blog ini.

Chow chin chow.

Dah kawen dah member aku ni..

Semoga berbahagia ke anak cucu. Back L-R: Smq, Ipe, Atoy. Front: Jeg, Lenoq, Jonet, Shu, Sani.

Manchester City 1-0 Arsenal

Tomas Rosicky made his Premiership bow in the City of Manchester Stadium but saw his wasteful side succumbed to a 1-0 defeat no thanks to Joey Barton's thunderous penalty that rattled the bar before touching the back of the net. Justin Hoyte, 21 who replaced want away England star Ashley Cole conceded the penalty by lunging on the back of the impressive Trevor Sinclair. A natural right back, Hoyte found himself a torrid time playing particularly coping with the pace and intelligence of the experienced cultured midfileder Sinclair.

Meanwhile, Arsenal were deemed to be punished as the final whistle was blown having their skipper Thierry Henry missing four great chances. Lively forward Robin van Persie saw his effort hit inside of the post before Henry squandering another chance. Arsenal should have been 4-0 up at half time but Joey Barton's spot kick settled the score for the home side.

Although I'm a loyal fan of the Gunners, I still believe there is a need to not to be impartial when evaluating performances of the gaffer and the team. The ongoing saga of Ashley Cole has been prolonged and has since unsettled many players including Thierry Henry who suggested that we keep Cole. And then came the Reyes issue. The Spaniard has been of an inconsistent player since arriving from Seville and I don't think he has the correct mix to become a star in the London side. As for Cole, I am suggesting we do a swap deal with Chelsea with versatile defender William Gallas joining the team and Cole going to the opposite direction. However it is preferable if we could negotiate a swap plus cash deal since Cole is only 25 and Gallas only has a few years in his professional career.

Both however, are arguably top defenders. If not the best in the world.

Arsenal: Lehmann 7, Eboue 7 (Flamini 6), Hoyte 4, Toure 8, Djourou 6, Rosicky 7 (Walcott 7), Hleb 9 (Adebayor 6), Henry 6, Fabregas 8, Gilberto 7, van Persie 7

Life without sponsorship

It was since many years ago, 10 to be exact, I was blessed with sponsorship. There was the all-free secondary school KYS under the Yayasan Saad Foundation, later KMYS (KYUEM) and UiTM under PNB. Today, I start to be feeling the heat. I start to realise how the FAMA people coping with finance. I'm under serious pressure, if you like.

Look at that money flowing like cry me a river! RM33,420 gone just like dat. Note that the amount RM3000 was for my mom's PUSPANITA Bangkok Trip. Well, to be fair I'm glad I don't haveta pay RM88,000 for breaching the contract with PNB since they gave me a deferment for a year. But I still feel the high immense of pressure. I cant even think well to write here to be honest.

Went to Wisma MCA to settle my Visa. Not settled yet. Have to come back tomorrow. Haveta admit there were so many young hot executives working in that area. Citibank marketeers maybe. Oh have I mention there was this lady at Maybank Kelana Business Center who's got a body to die for? No, not being a pervert here but I was shocked to see that kinda body ever exist in Malaysia. Malay some more! So thumbs up for the lady. But the face so-so je lah.

She musta been taking care of her health quite well. Lookie me.. skinny and buncit. Ask the guys if you dont believe me....

And I was at the Wisma MCA when I bumped into familiar faces of KYS. They were just married. Thought of stopping for a chat but I dont think we had the time. Coz I said "hi" and "selamat pengantin baru" and voila! We got back to our businesses.

Like I said, I didnt get to settle the VISA. That guy who's at the counter said, "it's advisable o get the correct document (conditional/unconditional offer letter) but I wont stop you if you still want to submit the application".. I was like.. hey dude, if you guys reject my application that would be another RM633.. dah lah aku tgh pening pasai duit nieh.

Today I took a cab from Tmn Bahagia (penat) and had a chat with the driver. A nice Indian guy who told me he's got three sons who completed their studies and doing pretty well now. They were not sponsored, took bank loans, to support their study. One of them is a doctor in Australia. I bet they've been through all this thing with hardship.

Lets just hope the sun will shine!

"Eksekutif... Pelatih"

I received a phone call Friday last week from PNB regarding duty report on the 15th of August 2006. Still trapped in limbo, I was not that enthsiastic to even get the details of what was going to happen that Tuesday. All I could say is "O.K" and that very Tuesday I reached Level 35 Menara PNB 6 minutes late. (8.06 a.m)

Kak Amy (the officer responsible fot the day) arrived a few minutes later. A short brief about the itenary for that day, one which caught my attention was the Gleneagles Trip (Medical Check-up) . I was having a nightmare with a certain high-level of perspiration that morning! Somebody gimme a doctor!

It was a rare situation though. Being a skinny guy, and sweat only comes in the 80th minute of my football game. Then came the time where we had to sign the contract and make our pass-tags. I had a torrid time covering my armpits when the Pakcik took the photo for the tags.

However, I decided not to report to the doctor in Gleneagles because I dont think it was a serious issue. The LRT is packed even in the wee hours of the morning for crying out loud. I also thought I should not follow the lads for the medical checkup since it is not required in the Student VISA application, according to Fit. In addition, it is stated in the contract (in which I havent signed yet) that I had to pay for the expenses including the Training Programme fees (Medical Checkup inclusive) if I were to breach the contract at anytime.

So I made the decision, to go AWOL (Absent Without Permision). MIA (Missing in Action) if you prefer. I went home to renew my passport. I think that's a better thing to do rather than loafing around in the hospital checking out the ladies cey ceyy abis baik lah tu!

Unfortunately, kelam kabut punya pasal, I forgot to inform any of the officers about my absence to renew passport. Abis kena marah. I didn't know what to counter but I admitted my mistakes and will return to office the day after. I planned a showdown with PNB this time bringing along a superior - my dad. Haha.

That will be discussed later.

Ye ye.. aku tau.. aku kaki jalan.. I almost gonna go Dubai for makan angin to tell ya the truth.. Dunno suddenly feel like nak travel around.. this is simply because of pengangguran and the long-waited masuk kirja PNB.. and yup Kuantan it was my next stop.

And it was massive I tell you.. Well, for a start Sohai picked me up late janji pukul 8 malam last2 11.20 malam.. dah lah nak ikut Karak hi-way.. initially cuak gak.. dah la I never know that Sohai reti drive!

"Sapa drive wei?"

"Aku ah.." he replied.

"What??" that was my first word!

Gaya tak approve ah tu... So dalam kereta ada Eidy the Rampage and Kebau the Sayuty.. Menarik gak Eidy jadi co-pilot. Haha. membebel. padan muka sohai. bawak cam mat remp lagi.

Agaknya after 3-hours, with Kebau's berkaraoke, and some kutuk2 and KYS nostalgias, kitorg pon sampai Kuantan.. So met up depan Balai Polis dkt ngn Sepital Breast Cancer.. and kitorg lepak2 minum2 dulu.. ada Hare (Project Manager), Diyah, Medek, and Chot..? Not.. Chot mana ada..

Sorry the rest tak sempat nak ajak.. rushing gila plan.. lgpon aku bkn Tuan Pengarah (TP 4621 - No. Plat kereta Hare).. And Sorry tak sempat lepak ngn KJians that night and Pedu.

And then tunggu Pooyen a.k.a Mazran Ruhaifi lambat sgt.. time tu pon dah nak dekat Subuh.. so balik unpack dulu rumah MatDiyah tepi pantai.. time tu golap sgt aku tak nmpk tp dengar deruman bayu laut.. betul ke BM aku ni.. mampos ah yg penting A1 sorry ah Kipli Ali..

Rumah kosong.. tp menarik wei.. berebut2 pilih bilik ada 3 last2 tidur luar gaks.. tp mmg layan ah borak2 tidur.. subuh dulu baru, aku tidur.. last2 kol 12 gak bangun..

Hare calling2 ajak gi kenduri kawen officemate dia.. bleh lah isi perut.. malas actually sbb tak kenal kan? tak dijemput lak tu.. hantar wakil bleh ka Tan Sri? tp pi gak ah.. and met Mak Matidyah.. sweet looking, charismatic.. and I bet she's got a heart of gold... Sedap lak plak lauk pauk kenduri makan seperti Abu Lahab rakus skali..

Pastu gerak rumah Hare kejap.. duduk berdua dia ni.. ngn bdk Tabligh.. tp cam tak duduk sama.. bhgian bilik je berisi.. living room semua not occupied.. and Hariri kini pengamal Botani... bela ikan guppy comel kiut miut, bela pokok kaktus yg menawan kalbu.. pastu tetiba ada kain batik.. aihhh Hare.. selamba simpan awek.. abg Tabligh tak marah ke? Pungkong hang Jerui.. kain batik tu buat letak kat seat kereta ah.. hehehe.. bikin cuak je

So ptg tu beli lah brg2 nak BBQ itu malam.. xde menda event menarik.. oh ye.. sempat lepak sat kt JomHeboh Kuantan.. Si Helmy xde plak kat booth 8tv.. blom masuk shift dia kot.. shift dia ptg sket katanya.. artis? xde ah beria sgt nak tgk depa.. baik tgk awek2 Kuantan yang pelbagai ropa..

Ptg tu baru lah nmpk pantai.. sekembalinya darik beli barang2 BBQ.. so nak dkt maghrib baru leh main bola tepi pantai.. memasing pancit je haha aku pon dah gedung perut.. tp takleh lawan Hare and Kebau ah.. heheh.. Prosperity! Main ombak jahat Kuantan mmg best ah padu..!

So agak2 kol 9 lebih gitu Hare kembali dgn set BBQ nya.. baru menang hadiah tu.. so para mekanik (Pooyen ah paling smgt skali bersama Sohai) menyambung set BBQ itu sampai berjaya.. target 3 minute bleh siap.. peh.. haha

And then came the hard part.. psg api.. mmg sengsara.. dgn berlatar-blakangkan radio/hp Rampage memasang AF Final, api pon berjaya dinyalakan dgn bantuan kipas.. cam biasa ah tu... And Diyah gi amik celebrity kita Helmy Harun.. I mean Helmy Hamdan.. lama gak tak jmpa.. mmg mcm2 citer ah borak2.. dak2 ni bleh lg ckp aku slow talk ngn Helmy pasal drums hahah.. cam barua je mengingat kisah silam.. Helmy pon ada gak citer2 gossip artis.. "Dunia hiburan mmg mencabar.."ujarnya serius.

So malam tu mmg bnyk ah menu nya.. ada ayam, ada sotong, ikan kembung and Eidy's specialty: potato + sausage with gravy buh dlm alumnium foil.. the other of his specialty, hampeh tak jadi.. daging keras.. hanya Kebau dan Hare yg mampu kokak daging.. mmg liat.. tak jadi.. lgpon sapalah kami.. org bujang takda pengalaman... tp not bad ah.. mmg sedap2 makanan semuanya.. tp masalahnya.. ayam ada 4 ekor = 26 ketul untuk 8 org... ni aku salahkan betrayers ah tak dtg.. but we got another plan.. yang amat menarik

MAIN DECLARE!!! Haha.. sapa kalah, makan ayam + Air + free tissue! Haha.. Didnt know its gonna be that interesting.. we really had fun that night.. aku voluntarily makan ayam adalah dekat 4 ketul.. tp, forced to eat sbb kalah declare ada lah cam 3.. the star of the night? Mr Medek Rizal... hehehe.. the President of Ayam.. Seven! Pooyen 5 ke 6 ntah merangkap Vice.. sblom betting makan ayam dak2 ni perform.. tp suwey plak bila start taruh ayam.. I bet pasni diorg emo tgk ayam.. nampak ayam je terajang... ahhaha.. Eidy pon 5ketul tak silap.. Diyah 2... Kebau 1.. ceycey.. Kebau macho gila kalah skalik je... confident gila.. siap makan daging liat tu punya confident takkan kalah.. haha.. Sohai? oh dia tak main dia masak ayam.. Helmy main kejap je tp dia kena balik Hotel sbb esok nak jom heboh lagi.. Hare? haha he was the initial star.. dia kena makan3 ketul ayam terus gol.. terus tidur.. haha

But again i must say, Medek was the President.. Pooyen siap perli2 lagi buat suara ayam.. cam barua.. haha.. pagi besok confirm pakat berak ayam.. oh btw, Medek's 7th ayam tak makan pon.. mmg dah full dah Medek time tu.. dah lah the ayam prizes makin lama makin besar! haha!

Yang paling penting.. ayam semua abis.. yg tak abis ikan kembung, bagi kucing kurap makan.. kiranya xde pembaziran ah.. sotong was the bomb la kan.. pagi2 tu.. tgk2 ada lagi menda yg kena dihabiskan.. tournament Siren (Sirap+ Oren).. this time main kad paling besar = suwey... rupa2nya rezeki Medek masih lagi ON.. dah jadi Raja Ayam ni jadi Raja Air plak.. "rezeki murah.." bak kata Medek.. So air pon abis gak ah.. so semua org participated mmg best gila ah.. kemas2 rumah semua... dah settle kitorg gerak nak gi lunch..

AKu singgah jap beli kopok lekor mak aku pesan.. kesian rerakan menunggu aku beli kopok lekor.. baru nak diuli, baru nak di goreng separuh.. thanks guys!

Then berenti pantai batu itam lunch.. aku order ikut dak2 ni..Rojak Sotong.. main ikut je.. pastu ada adik baju kuning Rampage ah sedar dulu raut keayuan bdk ni.. cam stok2 Hajar je bosan ah.. bapak pakai kopiah.. tp dia tak amik order dari kami.. dak2 ni bantai mkn mee goreng lah apa lah.. Matdi nasik campur.. aku tmbah lagi makan kopok lekor.. and did I mention SATA sedap gila?..

"Balik kang terkejut mak ko tgk ko perut bulat semacam Jerui.."

Hahaha.. aku tatau ah nak bangga ke apa perut aku boroi.. sesuatu yg tak pernah ku alami..

And then kitorg pon cam salam2 and berpisah.. sedih lah plak.. Medek drive sorg2 balik Keratong.. dia convo ahad ni.. Matdiyah and Hare stay back Kuantan.. SOhai aku pooyen kebau and eidy naik satu kereta.. kereta Waja Kebau dah beli dari kwn baik dia heheh.. tah apa ntah diorg melawak di depan.. Eidy drive dulu pastu Kebau ganti.. aku bkn tanak drive.. malas ah.. lgpn kasiklah chance kat org pengalaman ceycey alasan..

And kitorg stuck traffic jam kt MRR2.. dah lah minyak kering.. nak terkencing lak tu hahaha!.. pastu Kebau gamble je lencing masuk kiri, pastu ikut signboard "Sg Buloh, LDP".. Signboard kaler Oren construction.. kuar2 je kawasan perumahan prestij mana ntah Park City terus masuk LDP ke OU.. mmg ajaib.. kalo tak mmg menunggu ah jam kt MRR2.. aku sempat jamak takhir kt Petronas.. sib baik x berenti tgh jalan.

Pastu kitorg makan nasik lemak cikgu kt KJ.. diorg nak balik Sunway.. and aku terlupa nak solat Maghrib since tak leh jamak kat rumah.. elok ah tu.. aku completely terlupa! padahal aku sampai rumah kol 8.10 gitu sempat lg...

Try nak upload tp xleh cam biasa ah blogger. Later aku upload ah. Thanks very much guys! It's been really fun!!

Rog Cup: Penalty woe

A lil bit about AKYUEM Konvoi 2006 Rog Cup. Team Khalid won te cup after beating Team Current Student A in penalty shoot-out. Earlier, Team Khalid knocked us out of the semis also through penalties where Chot missed the first one with a thunderous shot hitting the post.

Earlier in the group stage obviously we under performed.. especially me.. I was so frustrated with myself I opted to be subbed by Mat Diyah after missing a sitter. To be precise, I missed TWO great chances.

It was one of the worst tourney I've ever played in but to play it among the stars like Chot, Haniz, Ope, Jin (Azizi), Farid, Sohai, Yan and Matdiyah is a great honour.

The night before I met Asrep, Aween and Piah at Unca Don. Lepak2 main foosball. Mmg seronok. Gossip2. Kutuk2 org wahaha.. Will lepak Shah Alam in no time.

Haniz lepak rumah aku for a night after main futsal bersama rerakan KYS. So from my place baru gerak gi Alumni KMYS with Farid. AKu gi pon sbb Rog Cup. Nak main bola je. Takda kerja beria nak jmpa lecturers. Heh. Bikin malu sihh. Even Pn Norain pon aku buat-buat tak kenal (obviously). Tapi Mr K gak gempak.

"Mr K, saya dapat A dalam Accounting di UiTM" I said with a laughter.

Balik from Rog Cup Haniz gerak balik rumah neneknya. Farid balik Putrajaya, exhausted dua benda, main bola and duit. Farid lupa tukar duit pound. Kt Burger King, share beli set whopper haha. Sanggup loan dari Ope.

Malam tu lepak Hartamas lagi. Sempat 90 minutes Pro Evo ngn Chot. Chot nak jmpa Sharin bdk Notts abg Cheng and Kak Adniz bdk Notts yg terer masak. Lepak keja jmpa dak Nik Harris and Kiau. Cam hambar je perbualan kitorg pon dah ngntuk.. balik zzzz..

Note: Apartment KMYS dah renovate. luas dan menarik.. Ed bawak balik kereta from UK under RM90k BMW 3-Series. Kamal Rossi bwk BMW number plate WFL gak cam aku. Ope suka immitate bunyi kereta aku.. NGeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!

Psl PNB nye meeting? I've chosen not to write here kot. Till next time. Chalos.

SunGAY LaWOON..

That Wednesday morning, dgn gaya2 malas we all woke up and got ready for the big splash in Sunway Lagoon.. aku dgn confidentnya gerak lambat padahal dah janji ngn Lada kol 11-ish.. come on ah.. Sunway Lagoon is only a few hundred meters from home sweet home provided we use the 'illegal road' (go straight bawah suspension bridge)..

At Level 3 Carpark and we got a parking space that worth millions... why lah? coz that morning dah ramai org dah.. rombongan budak sekolah kot.. So mmg lucky gak ah

So to cut it short, aku, Fendy, Rye, Waq and Lada masuk dlm Sunway Lagoon like a bunch of.. fags? aiyohh offensive word eh.. sorry2

And so main2 air.. ada ombak buatan.. last time I went, tak perasan plak ada menda2 ni.. and that was many yrs ago aku gi with me dad and me sis.. so mcm kanak2 lah kami bermain air, dan bermain lah kami satu permainan Sapa Paling Lama Tahan Nafas.. I tot I was the ultimate loser.. sib baik ada Rye.. hehe.. sorry Rye..

Kitorg mmg main puas2.. coz balas dendam dekat Bkt Merah.. paling best main yg carpet tu.. Lada and Fendy champions ah momentum tinggi.. Tp chics bleh thn juger.. minah arab pon ada yg dah bukak dah.. Grrr.. heheh.. Shhh...

Then we went on to the Dry Park.. The first ride? Pirates Ship (ye ke nama dia gitu?).. tell u the truth aku tak penah naik benda2 camni.. roller coaster sblom ni pon aku tutup mata.. Not this time, I'm determined to test my gayat-ness.. Took our seats and whatta good scenery to haf a blondie chic sitting right in front of me.. abis boleh tulong ilang cuak ah?? Not!

Cam siot je Lada tak naik sama.. it was the first time aku rasa blood rushing from all over the place.. SHouting like kids! But I didnt close my eyes this time.. If I did, sure pengsan one.

Next one naik the Red Indian Tomahawk something something.. haha obviously aku dah makin tua and makin lupa ada hati nak amik masters.. itu lg gempak.. dah lah aku tgk dia punya 'coach' dah mcm lama and berkarat.. aku tgk dak2 ni rilek je.. and so the machine starts to run and NO NO I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE.. haha! mcm pondan.. tp mmg betul duh.. at one point tu aku rasa cam.. enuff la wei enuff.. aku buat muka toya and rasa cam nak muntah.. but I kept my cool..

it was fun though..

so malam tu chill lepak2.. and pro evo lg.. sampai muak.. the next day lepak breakfast ngn Dina and Lada.. Fendy balik Muor.. so tak join breakfast kt Syed KJ.. it was Friday.. so kena budget timing nak solat Jumaat.. tetiba ada org ajak main Pro Evo... mula2 Dina nak join lepak rumah skali tp rasa tak manis gitu since my mom ada rumah.. takkan nak lepak skali, takkan nak lepak kt ruang tamu kesian dia.. and so bermulalah episod Pro-Evo Vengeance.

Lada started out with Rye and got beaten.. tot Lada was giving a chance to Rye.. So I was up next.. and you know.. revenge is so sweet.. 2 years ago, aku datang rumah Lada, main Winning 11 for the first time.. got my ass beaten up 4-1 or was it 4-0? Lada said to me.. "Aku main ngn Dina pon, tak kasik chance pon, dia bleh cuma kalah 3-1"

Dengan perasaan malu dan kurap, aku tunduk lalu menangis (lelebih tambah)

Haha.. So dat day was quite memorable.. bkn nak bangga.. saja borak2 blog2.. kalahkan the King Lada 1-0.. Heheh.. Sorry Lada.. nanti kawen jgn tak antar kad plak

Ok ah wei.. bnyk ngarut.. later (Meeting PNB HRD)

From Penang to KL

Mari sambung cerita Penang.. dat morning, almost noon, kitorg plan nak gerak balik.. En. Ramesh sanggup balik rumah kejap lepas amik adik Rye to say goodbye.. cam biasa breakfast mantap.. brunch.. lepas makan bfast terus makan nasik.. haha.. tp mmg boroi ah... aku asal gi North Trip je boroi.. pastu balik tanah air, kering balik..

And so Fendy yang smgt nak enjoy kat Msia before balik Cambridge ajak singgah Bukit Merah.. Rye bawak kereta dulu.. and we reached Bukit Merah.. tampak lengang.. prolly becoz cuti sekolah mana ada time tu.. dah lah hari Selasa yang best..

Best?? Hari Selasa is the day waterparks around Malaysia (prolly the World) tukar air! haha..!! mmg emos ari tu..! time2 gini lah nak tukar air.. so dgn muka hampa dan malu bertuala, kitorg pon balik KL.. apa mau buat? layan Pro Evo, Rye mencari Dina tersayang dan aku and Fendy berbonding2 gay.. ahaks!

Malam tu lepak2 plan plak nak gi Sunway Lagoon.. Waq joined the crew.. malam tu Waq tidur awal mcm Adri Awal (lawak tetiba).. then aku Rye and Fendy rotate2 Pro Evo.. Fendy bermula garang dengan menjadi Juara bertahan.. aku dah naik rimas dan kalahkan Fendy berturut2.. hahaha.. mmg bangga diri.. i remember last year aku tak dpt kalahkan fendy.. kalahkan sekalik je.. ada skali last yr blasah aku 3-1.. aku terus tabik kehormat.. next person aku nk beat --> LADA!!

So malam tu ada gak contact2 Syuen nak join tak Sunway Lagoon.. waq ajak Lada.. Pagi tu dah gerak dah gi Sunway Lagoon.. Yay! (ye lah tu, haram Sunway Lagoon beberapa meter jek dari rumah aku tp pnh gi skalik je).. So next entry ah kot.. sorry ah guys aku maleh update.. dak2 pon cam malas nak blog je.. so takyah ah nak smgt2 sgt..

Pasni citer pasal Sunway Lagoon, revenge Pro-Evo on Lada, and PNB Shitty-meeting

p/s: smlm aku tgk2 yearbook. How IRONIC it was Chot was voted SPortsman of the Year with a quote, "Sweat keeps the doctor away".. ye lah tu CHot.. It didnt work for Syira lah kan.. the more you sweat, the more she melts! Heheheh

So ptg tu kitorg gerak Batu Feringghi.. aku ngn Fendi je mandi laut.. kuat gak ombak.. rasa mcm kena langgar lori.. walopon sedikit busuk.. aku mmg dah lama x mandi laut.. rancangan awal nak gi Tioman.. ni dah jmpa laut kira OK ah.. bantai je ah..

So kehidupan di penang mmg best.. spt biasa mak ayah RYe mmg bagus melayan kami.. pagi2 esoknya aku sedar towel and baju, suar aku dah siap dibasuh dan dilipat oleh mak rye.. makan plak mak dia masak sedap2.. layanan di rumah rye mmg mengkagumkan.. respect!

tiba-tiba..

"MARI SINI LAHH!!!" ada sorg pakcik bertempik sambil tangan melambai2 ke arah kami.

"Tulis tanda tangan sebagai kenangan pon susah. Bukan selalu. Budak2 ni.. SOMBONG!!"

Hahaha mmg kelakau pakcik tu.. aku dan rerakan dah maki2 dah dlm hati.. Pakcik ni nak menang award the best officer of the night ke nak dpt Anugerah Datuk from Sultan Azlan Shah?

So kitorg sign then kitorg register.. dapat meja hampeh no. 25.. duduk2 kejap mmg budget angle takkan nmpak lah kedua2 mempelai kalo duduk di meja tu.. kerna terlalu awal hadir ke majlis, kami pon berangkatlah jalan2 tgk2 meja dan pelamin pengantin..

So round2 hotel lobby pastu kitorg masuk2 je bdk2 SMAPKajang dah amik meja huduh tu haha.. so kitorg apa lagi.. amik meja yg lg best ah.. so tunggu punya tunggu maka sampailah Sultan dan Raja2 'sanggup mencemar duli datang ke majlis ini' (ulang lapan kali)

Rupa2nya.. pakcik yg sound kitorg tadi jadik MC.. va va va ji vahh.. bu ahaha.. actually dia OK as MC.. tp sbb dia dah buat hal earlier aku pon cam malas ah nak gelak2.. hahaha

"secara kebetulan Dato' Samad Pegawar Daerah Manjung dan Encik Zainon (ayah Shu) adalah penolong pegaiwai daerah seketika masa dulu... bapak-bapak pergi kerja.. anak-anak buat kerja!" kata Pak Sako spontan, sedikit gatal. Huahaha.

So malam tu makan mmg sedap2 wei.. aku tambah 2 kali.. mmg lazat lauk pauknya.. suasana mmg best2.. "Audio Visual" Lan and Shu time kecik2 mmg menghiburkan.. dah jodoh! Tahniah Lan! Tahniah Shu! You both deserve each other. Inilah kuasa Tuhan! Dipertemukan kedua2 org yg baik2.

So malam tu kitorg lepak bandar Ipoh. Haram tak happening pon. Hahah. Lepak mamak jugak. Satu meja penuh ada bdk2 Dublin, Jazree, Ain, Sushi, Elly Hanis and Badak. Lain aku tara kenal. Aku ckp ko, aku order maggi goreng.. Ayam dia rasa macam gabus!! Boleh buat tutup wine bak kata Jonet.

So esoknya tgh hari kitorg gerak ke Pulau Pinang. Negeri yg dikatakan bertanggungjawab melepaskan najis manusia ke laut. Tapi aku ngn Fendy gak mandi. Hahaha. So itu next entry ah kot.

"Aku dah agak dah.." kata Tomok, feeling relieved konon sbb dia paling lambat.. haha.. so round2 Istana Klang baru lah sampai rumah bakal pengantin pompuan.. upacara akad nikah pon start.. sekalik napas je babe.. aku dgr je Lan sebut RM333.33 TUNAI aku ngn Tomok pon kuar lah.. carik makan... haha pekena sup lembu.. makcik2 dah ushaaaa dah..

So itu hari Bursa Malaysia call.. tanya aku interested tak nak join diorg... Alliance Bank and Prudential pon ada tunjuk interests tp apa mau buat.. sure nama aku kena blacklist sbb menge'test' power kt jobstreet.com.my... haha.. sangap duhh.. takde buat pe.
