The Coming Weekend....

Before I start anything, I just want to state here that I'm totally in love with Joanna Bessey.... Thank You....

Hello all….

What a wonderful Friday today is it. The morning was chilly, rain on the supposed to be hot afternoon and the weekend is just around the corner.

So sorry that my blog page in the last few days (or weeks maybe) is kinda quiet and slow. Nothing much happen that can be considered ‘blog material’. But today I’m just blogging as a feeling of obligation leads me to do it. Just don’t be mad or bored if today’s blog is kinda plain.

Tonight around 8.00 p.m I’ll be driving, heading back to my hometown in Kota Bharu. Like I’ve mentioned before in the previous blog, it is due to my younger brother’s thing. Gonna miss a few days without logging to the internet and stuff. It is worth it? More than anyone can imagine. Nothing beats Ma’s cooking and everything about her.

Ayah will be smiling and jumpy most of the time in the next few days probably. Why wouldn’t he, his favourite grandson is coming to visit (my nephew and niece is coming along with their parents) and he surely can’t wait to play with the kids. I’ll probably be spending most of the time sleeping maybe. Long drive on Friday, another long drive on Saturday and the long drive (again) heading back to KL on Sunday. May even think of getting an EL on Monday. Just felt that most probably I’ll be dead beat. Well, as I said earlier, it’s worthed.

Okay, turning our heads now to a different story. On Wednesday my boss called me to his room. Need to talk about something he said. Well as I was there, he started babbling about the responsibility of a leader, how people below you look up to you, how leaders should set a good example and lead by it. Well, at first I was like ‘where in the world are you going here?’. Finally, he looks me in the face and said ‘In you I saw a good leader. Not great yet but good as it is. I want you to lead our team of young engineer & technician in their everyday’s work. See how they work, organise the group. If some of them not trying their best or finding it’s hard to work, console them. Tell them how and what to do.’ At that point I interrupt him. ‘Why me? I’m not the team leader? I’m not the supervisor? Not that I don’t relish the opportunity, but just a bit curious’. Then he said, ‘Well, if u really want to know, from my observation I saw that our young engineers looks up to you. They listen when you talk and do when u asked them to. They kind of believe in what u said and take your word seriously, even when you are actually joking and more when you are dead serious. That’s why’. So to make things short, I grab that opportunity and hopefully this will lead to better things, for the team and me. Wish me luck guys cause most probably, I’ll be needing it.

Well that’ll be all for now, hope all of you guys have a great weekend. Till again…..


p.s. I’m in the process of selling a ‘Red, July 2005 Kia Spectra’ for RM 55,000. Anybody interested? Leave me a comment if u need any details, with your details too. I’ll be in contact with you certainly. And by the way, if any of you guys need any car, new or used, I’ll be happy enough to hook you with the best deal in town. Just leave me your details and information on what kind of car do you want. I’ll ask around for you. Take care then. Tata….

I'm Not Writing, This is Babbling....



A weekly update from me..... Like always.... Blame my boss for making me do too many jobs most of the time.

Nothing much to write actually, just typing wat ever came into mind. Finally got that 'Fuyoo!!' CD from Afdlin Shauki. Had a listening session, all and out I could merely give it a good buy/listen. Not great but good. My personal opinion would be that he should concentrate more on acting and writing. But this is just me and my opinion. A person of nothing but vague experience.

Just came back from Kuala Selangor tadi. Had some work to do there. I think there is something wrong with my car as the steering wheel would vibrate quite heavily if it's speeding above 100km/h. I do remember going into a pot hole at 90 km/h. Most probably the problem is at the alignment and the balancing of the tyres.... Hopefully it's not the suspensions or the rims... That would be worst.

Hmmm... What else..... hmmm.... Ah, I'll be goin back to Kota Bharu on the 23 this month (mlm2 sikit kot)... & head back to KL on Sunday the 25th. Had too because on the 24th my parent is going to go and ask my younger brother's girlfriend's parents (aper aku cakap nie?) for their daughter’s hand in marriage to my brother (aku dah melalut nie...). Alah... senang.... pergi meminang la.... Apa la aku nie... Ngek btol... So, kena la balik.... nanti kechik ati plak adik aku and parents aku nie....

Apa lagi... hmmmmm..... hish... tak tenang la kepala nie.... nak tulis pon tak bole.... dok teringat kereta tue... aper rosak nye ah.... hey..... udah la... nanti lain kali aku tulis lagi.... tak selesa la.... Hati nie tak tenang... takut kete tue rosak betul.... (sayang kete sesangat kot aku nie....)

Sori geng.... aku nak turun bawah tgk kete jap.... jumpa lagi... babai...

p.s. ader ker org mcm aku nie?

What I was Like....



Udah..... Nana dah tag plak.... Hmmmm.... Ok la.... Here goes....

20 years ago : 1985 (I was 8)

Was in standard 3... (gempak tue... org lain semua dlm darjah 2 lg... hehehehe)... Went to a school where my father was the headmaster. Giler pressure.... But was all fun. Got a new classmate name Mohammad Salahuddin Al-Ayubi B. Ali..... Was the son of my dad's close friend. Still in good contact with 'Din'.... One of my longest known friends that I still have... He's now married to my ex-girlfriend, with a child of their own. (see how the world circulate....)

10 years ago : 1995 (I was 18)

Had the chance to leave my hometown and study at PPP Shah Alam doing A-Levels.... Met my best friend Jai.... We both have a load of fun and adventure during this time.... All the illegal racing, clubbing, chicks, bla... bla... bla... and so much more..... Though we study not that well but lucky our result were fantastic.... hehehe....

5 years ago : 2000 (I was 23)

hmmmm....... ooooo... I remember..... I was at UTP.... Well, my grades were like shit.... I don't study much.... I don't go to lectures.... I don't do assignments..... Merely because I just hate what I am doing at that time..... I hate Chemical engineering.... I hate the UTP administration.... Come to think of it.... I blame the Government for crushing my dream... (still do).... and maybe at the earlier years at UTP I was so heartbroken till I just couldn't care less about my life....

3 years ago : 2002 ( I was 25)

Kerja....!!!!! Yup... At Fujitsu (M) till today..... Bought my first car, brand new, with my own money.... A kancil it is..... hehehe.... ( I call him BaGaK... )hehehe.... Was doing great at work.... went traveling here and there.... so many outstations traveling.... through out Malaysia..... The sweetest moment I do remember is when I drove BaGaK to Cameron highland up until me and he reaches the very top of the hills where they grew those tea bushes.... Was a great achievement by BaGaK, due to the fact that he is just a Kancil..... able to climb that steeply hills of the Boh plantation..... I was damn proud of him.... Still do....

Last year : 2004 (I was 27)

Still single.... loads of girlfriends that come and go.... None do stay literally.... Was frustrated with my bachelorhood.... Still doing the same old job at Fujitsu (M) though more responsibility now. Was at one time diagnosed by Doctors and was said to be suffering from exhaustion, work related. Took a good rest as prescribed.... Was so lucky to detect it earlier or it might lead to something worst.... Made me realize finally that work is not everything.... There are much more important things in life.....

This year : 2005 (I am 28)

Had to let go of BaGaK ... Was so reluctant to sell him off but I need the money to fund the purchase of a brand new car.... I finally found a suitable owner for BaGaK.... A lady in her 30's who want a car for her dad at kampung to be used as a daily ride for going to surau and such. Finally BaGaK can retire from traveling long distance now...... ( he clocked a mileage of a 150 thousand in just 3 years of his life... talked about working hard... ) Bought a new ride.... Wan Muhammad Quraish.... A Waja.... (for all of you out there... I named my cars from their registration number.... BaGak.... BGK xxxx...... Wan Muhammad Quraish... WMQ xxxx).... Still at Fujitsu (M).... Trying to be in loved back with the job.... loved the actual work but hating the environment and such..... Wat to do.... Carik makan tetap carik makan....

Next year : 2006 (I will be 29)

Need to find myself a wife.... I need to start a family soon.... Don't want to be a bachelor my whole life.....

10 years from now : 2015 (I will be 38, insyaAllah)

I'm hoping to become the most successful, respectable, riches, generous, well known man in Malaysia.... (bole ker....? InsyaAllah)Hmm..

ok. dah siap dah....
So, Nad.... Ur next... Tata....

Deaf....



I was watching 'Four Weddings And A Funeral' on DVD just a few hours ago. If you guys still remember, Hugh Grant character 'Charles' uses sign language to communicate with his deaf/mute brother 'David'. Then it suddenly strike me, I never knew any deaf person or anybody who actually need to communicate using sign language. Why is that? Is it because I am so ignorant of these people or it is them who try to distance themselves from us?

So, I it came to my mind….. “Maybe I should learn how to communicate with them, maybe I should learn sign language…..” So, like everyone else would do, I did some googling and found this site http://www.epekak.net.my/ , a portal for ‘Persekutuan Orang Pekak Malaysia’. Upon browsing I notice they do have courses for us to learn how to use the sign language.

So, I’m just suggesting….. why don’t you guys go take a look at this site…. Maybe u guys will love the thought of learning sign language…. Maybe we can sign up for the course together…. It would surely be worthwhile don’t you think…. Well… you guys think about it…. For me, I think…. If I can shuffle my schedule around…. I might attend this course after all…. C’ya guys soon…. Chioooooowwwwwwww….

p.s. Wouldn’t it be wonderful to be able to ‘talk’ to our deaf friends…….
