Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri / Eid al-Fitr

Kepada kawan yang jauh dan dekat, meskipun lama tak bersua, lama tak menegur sapa tapi hati ini mash utuh teringatkan anda. Yang jauh kita dekatkan, yang dekat kita rapatkan, yang rapat kita satukan. Semoga Raya tahun ini lebih berkat dari tahun-tahun sebelumnya. Sedang kita bersukaria, jangan lupa juga pada yang papa kedana. Terima saudara lain dengan hati terbuka walaupun kita tidak sebahasa, sebangsa dan seagama. Sesungguhnya kita ini makhluk ciptaan Tuhan juga. Bermaaf-maafan dan hormat-menghormati. Pengemis, penjaja mahupun buruh asing ingin merasai suasan Raya juga. Sedekahkanlah seteguk doa buat yang telah pergi, yang masih di sisi dan yang susah dalam hidup ini. Hari Raya ini mungkin hari gembiran buat anda tapi ia membawa kesedihan kepada orang lain juga. Tanpa melengahkan masa, Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri, maaf atas ke bawah, dalam dan luar. Best wishes and Eid al-Fitr to my Muslim friends. =p

*Jemputlah I ke rumah. I off Raya Kedua. Hehehe. =p*

Night scene in Penang

Night scene in Penang: Not satisfied with your house? There are people out there sleeping without a roof, a bed, a pillow, a blanket and a proper shelter. Everyone wishes to have something better than what they already have but we must also appreciate what we have in present and lend our hands to those who need it.

CONFIRMED! free Baskin Robbins!

https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10150932450896184&set=a.102898911183.100922.9286241183&type=1&theater

An official announcement was released just a while ago after our Pocket Rocket Man, Azizulhasni Awang lost in the Final of Men’s Keirin Olympic London 2012 and got number 6^th in the race.

The announcement was posted in Media Prima’s TV stations NTV7 and 8TV facebook accounts.

SO PEOPLE YOU’LL HAVE FREE BASKIN ROBBINS TOMORROW. TAKE YOUR OWN SWEET TIME TO QUEUE UP YA. GO FEW HOURS EARLIER. HAPPY WORKING TO THE MEDIA PEOPLE TOO. AND LET’S ENJOY TRAFFIC CONGESTION NEAR THE OUTLETS.

It must be an expensive investment by Media Prima and Baskin Robbins. But nvmla it can boost your image. And you awarding our athletes efforts and determination in your own way.

People are happy with it.

Anyway Azizul, you still made us proud and happy for your achievement. You are still a finalist, an Olympian, the 6^th fastest in the world, the best in Asia, and definitely Number One in Malaysia.  

Free Baskin Robbins ice-cream?

When some people are grieving for the loss of gold in the badminton men’s single by Datuk Lee Chong Wei, some other people are hoo-haa-ing about free ice cream.

Who says Baskin Robbins is giving out free ice-cream tomorrow? There are terms and conditions la people. You read and see. You click this link and see. http://www.ntv7.com.my/7edition/sport-en/ICE.html Or try you read the so-called announcement from the company. Or read it here from a news portal and analyse urself. http://www.malaysiandigest.com/news/81382-baskin-robbins-free-ice-cream-deal-still-on-despite-chong-weis-loss.html

I think people are getting the wrong message. They say there’ll be free ice-cream if only any of our Malaysian athletes come back with a gold medal in Olympic London, and not particularly Lee Chong Wei. Show me where’s the announcement that says they will be giving out free ice-cream tomorrow. Where?

So is it me that duno how to read, see or listen to the news? Eh or is it I’ve read it wrongly. Correct me please.

Anyway People tend to re-post what they see without checking the facts har? Check the facts even if it’s from the news agencies or portals.

It’ll be a disaster if everyone swarms to Baskin Robbins, wait few hours and go back with anger. Baskin or Robbins, you better clarify this. I know it’s a good publicity stint but..

IF REALLY GOT FREE ICE CREAM, PEOPLE WILL COMPLAIN IF ICE CREAM FINISH OR IF THEY QUEUE UP SO LONG BUT NEVER GET INTO THE SHOP IN TIME. IF STILL NO GOLD, THERE'LL BE NO ICE CREAM AND PEOPLE WILL BOYCOTT BASKIN ROBBINS FOR LYING. 

Seriously no free lunch in the world. If you want something, you better work your ass to get it. Life is fair. You get what you deserved. Not by begging, bodekking, or waiting for FREE stuff. 

People, pay for your own Baskin Robbins. Lee Chong Wei, you won a silver, I am happy. Come let me give you a treat by having good street food in Penang. How’s that? I can be your tour guide in Penang too. =p

no gold but you are the hero Lee Chong Wei

Hati teramat sakit bagaikan ditikam pisau, diselar parang, dihiris penknife. ouch. sakit hor? damn heartbroken arghhh. u ppl wana get MC anot tmr? let's mourn in silence. oh u r my hero Lee Chong Wei. It's ok, im proud of u. so do others, othou some will sure hentam u. Malaysian spirit is roaring in the air!


NO GOLD BUT YOU ARE OUR HERO LEE CHONG WEI!

Olympic badminton final, Lee Chong Wei vs Lin Dan

WAAA whole day so excited for the showdown between our beloved Lee Chong Wei and Lin Dan in the Olympic badminton final. The final has been a hot topic among the people in the kopitiam. Politics put aside, today is about sports. Sports is uniting us once again, something which the politicians fail to do. Tonight all eyes will be glued to the TV at homes and big LCD screen at the mamaks. No matter what’s the outcome, u r our HERO. All the best DLCW. This will be the match of the year! 

Kampar people, let’s go to MM and Ghany. so hard to find BIG screens in Penang lah... 

The match is at 8pm tonight! TV1 is not broadcasting it lah.Go watch Astro.

*LCW if u come back with the gold, or even a silver, it’ll be the best present for our Merdeka, nothing to do with Janji Ditepati. hahaha!*

brunch with sis

I was away for 3 years in university. Didn’t have the time to spend with my sister. After graduation, it’s time to work. Less time to spend with her again. Journalists work on weekends. Since today I’m on MC, I brought her out and we had a good makan at ‘Chit Tiao Lor’. Eheheh.

QUOTE of the day

Everything starts with a dream.

bila putus sudah cinta

Sejak dari kecil, saya selalu berfikir dan percaya.

Apa yang penting dalam keluarga bukanlah wang semata-mata tapi kasih dan sayang.

Wang itu besar, dengan wang, segala benda boleh dibeli, segala kekurangan boleh ditempuhi.

Tapi gembirakah anda  jika wang yang ada tak membawa kebahagiaan

Tanpa kasih, tanpa sayang, tanpa cinta, tanpa percaya, tiadalah keluarga.

Rumah akan jadi hotel. Balik untuk makan, mandi, tidur dan keluar.

Apakah itu rumah jika tiada perpaduan, tiada penghormatan, tiada percakapan?

Paksaan tak membawa kegembiraan.

Bila anak dipaksa melakukan apa yang diimpikan oleh mak bapa, hasilnya adalah kesedihan.

Bila anak mengikut jalan sendiri, dia diebnci sebenci-bencinya oleh si bapa.

DI mana silapnya?

Pilih kasih semakin menebal. Apa saja yang dibuat ada yang tak kena. Kerja anak dipandang hina. Gaji sikit tapi dipaksa bagi dja lebih.

Dituduhnya anak berjudi bola. Dituduhnya itu dan ini, bulan dan bintang,

Dalam hati, dalam minda, anak itu kotor, tak guna.

Sejak kecil, ayat ayat ‘you tak berguna, you pergi mati lebih baik, mati cepat aman cepat’ berkumandang di angkasa.

Sekarang dituduhnya anak itu mencuri wang dari poket seluarnya.

Segala plot cerita dia yang reka.

Tiada siapa tahu yang benar mahupun yang dusta.

Bukankah dia anak mu juga.

Hati sungguh sayu dan pedih melihat apa yang di depan mata.

Apa yang boleh dibuat melainkan berdoa.

Diri ini tersepit di tengah-tengah dilemma.

Bila sudah tiada cinta, maka kosonglah jadinya.

Bila yang longgar makin longgar, yang jauh makin jauh, maka yang akhirnya..

Putus.

Putus.

Tak mengapa.

Kerana cinta sudah tiada..

TAMAT

QUOTE of the day

Whatever you think, say and do to others, your actions will one day come back to you. Be mindful.

now is time for 'duit kopi'

Don’t say we people bribe you lah polis. As if all of us like to do so. Next time when you come out with a report, don’t forget to say YOU polis ask duit kopi from us! 

And when we declined to give, you give us saman few weeks after that and you create our offence yourself. What a shameful creativity you have! 

Shame on u! 


PTHOOOI!

Who doesn’t know when festive season arrives, you guys will be out to cari makan? Let me be specific, it’s Raya time! Oh school kids also know that. 

PDRM is in a sorry state where you can never change this culture. NEVER! This is Malaysia. You live in a system where you inherit whatever that was passed down to you. Even you didn’t want to, at the end of the day, you’ll automatically do so. 

So yea people, just be more alert as these blue uniform men are on the hunt. They’ll be more active and hardworking in taking care of the traffic and drivers. 

Don’t worry about crime. Where got crime in Malaysia? Our minister has said it’s just a perception. Don’t forget we are the safest country in Asia you know. The minister said he can walk freely on the street and no one attack him. Of course la duh, look who’s talking. Someone is talking through the ass not the brain. As if we, you and me, the normal people are secured by bodyguards everywhere we go. 

Remember this is Malaysia, we can, kita BOLEH!

Oh Selamat Berpuasa and Selamat Hari Raya my friends.

A STERN NOTE TO FUTURE POLITICIANS, PLEASE DON’T MISTREAT OUR POLICEMEN. I BELIEVE IF THEY ARE GIVEN A SUFFICIENT AMOUNT OF SALARY PLUS A CONDUCIVE WORKING ENVIRONMENT, THEY WON’T DO ALL THOSE SHITTY THINGS SO MUCH. PLEASE LAH YA, TRANSFORM THE POLICE FORCE BEFORE NO ONE TRUSTS THEM. 

FAKE SAMAN by our PDRM!

WTF! I was stopped by two traffic police when I was driving in Alor Setar. He took down all my particulars from my IC and my driving license n told me I broke certain law. Asked me to pay him RM50 to ‘settle’. I didn’t want to. Then he asked me to sign on a piece of recycle paper before letting me go. I knew something bad is going to happen. Today a notice of summon is sent to my house. The offence was ‘Rule 16(1) LN166/59 Meletak kenderaan menyebabkan halangan yang tidak dikehendaki’. Oh yeh man! U r so CREATIVE in making up a story. Show me the summon you issued that day! I am so not gona pay for this. So damn tulan ah! Ciaksai la u! 

BUAT MALU PDRM!

For the first time, I was so stupid and careless that I didn't record the conversation with the police. Usually I do that when i was stopped by them. And i was more stupid for not jotting down his name and his bike's plate number.


YOU TELL ME HOW TO FIGHT FOR THIS CASE??

Mira - Melody Gardot

I share what I like!

I'm glued to this MV and addicted to this song.

I first heard it in Astro.

And this singer is Melody Gardot? huh?? what name is this? But it's cool! Melody! Google her out and you'll know more about her. She has an inspiring background.

Anyway Mira is a Malay name isn't? But what is Mira doing in an English song? haaha. Coincidently i have two good friends with the name of Mira.

Hey Mirawani and Amirah, this song is for you! =p

QUOTE of the day

Say bye to past glories, say hie to new victories! Look for new experiences instead of just hanging on to your old i-did-that-before.

missing her

3.30am and im still awake.

Just watched 'The Pursuit of Happyness' n im so touched and inspired by it.

Being alone at this hour is making my mind to go wild while having a flashback to the past.

And i don't plan to cut off the memory calling as i miss the good old times.

I miss her..

N in a minute, i managed to list down what-she-did-to-me list when we studied in Kampar. 

Urut me

Help clean room

Alwaz advise mandi, jaga health

gud to parents

Calm even wen im angry with her

Do asgmnt together

Watch movies together

Go to pasar malam every wed

Ronda xplroe here n thr

We’ll walk under the sky having star gazing

She alwaz talk n I seldom listen

Take really good care of me when Im so sick 

I miss hugging her. Have a nice sleep dear. Thanks for being there and accept me for who I am. =p

ahhh July 20 in Penang

Belief - Malaysian Olympic team PSA by Samsung

"Belief is a powerful thing. It never lets you quit."

 You see the words, you watch the video, tell me how to not be touched? good lah u Ah Sam.

This is the latest public service announcement by Samsung on TV.


It is made specially for our Malaysia Olympic team. 

What makes it stand out is that it is so inspiring and motivating.

It touches my heart that I’m now inclined to get a Samsung smartphone instead of HTC.

Oh no media influence.

lawak Malaysia

Apa yang itu kera-jaan takut sangat sampai warganegara yang tinggal atau kerja kat luar negara tak boleh nak undi dalam pilihan raya? Takut mereka ni tak vote u kah? 

Malaysia ni kadang2 boleh buat anda gelak sampai muntah darah. Kalau filem dibuat oleh orang Malaysia, dishoot dalam Malaysia tapi tak guna Bahasa Malaysia, filem tu bukan filem tempatan. 

Kalau asyik nak syiok sendiri, kasi habuan kat orang sendiri, nak copycat, eh u all tak ke mana la. Patutlah Malaysians hebat semua nak cabut. Dah bumi sendiri tak nak recognize ur talents, takkan nak mati kat sini? 


Orang sendiri buat salah, tapi yang kena adalah orang yang mendedahkan kesalahan si cilaka. 

Takat nak kibar bendera time Merdeka baru dikatakan patriotik, bunuh diri terjun dari KLCC pun boleh dikira patriotik la beb! 


Cakap tak serupa bikin. Chui kong LAMPHA song. 

Hipokrit tahap maksimum politikus Malaysia. 

SALUTE!

'Beng Hock'

Most of us have heard of Teoh Beng Hock. If you don’t, u must b living in the tempurung kelapa. But it’s ok now u can know more about the whole drama on how he’s being interrogated and finally died at the MACC’s building. Head to PenangPAC in Straits Quay tonite at 8.30pm for the last show of ‘Beng Hock’. It’s a must watch show!

kata-kata hikmat

Idea singgah bila-bila masa tapi inspirasi hanya timbul kala malam menjelma, kemudian pergi sebelum matahari terbit.

stage satisfaction

The highest satisfaction of performing on the stage or live on the street is the cheers, thunderous claps and the audience wide smiles that you’ll remember for long, something that you don’t get everyday. That is priceless, more valuable than the money u earn from the show. =p

*oh how i miss performing again...*

kids nowadays..

I feel kids nowadays are so fortunate. They get what they want and they have more than what they need. It makes them don’t appreciate the little things and hard-earned money. Last time, we were given about RM1 to school. I’ll make sure I keep some in my tabung everyday. Once a while, I’ll count my syiling and eager waiting for it to grow even more. I picked up even 1cents. If not my banks where got money??

Jason Mraz - I Won't Give Up

lama dan baru

Yang lama kalau tak buang, mana ada tempat untuk yang baru. Ada kalanya, yang lama tidak bermaksud yg terbaik. Jangan disimpan segala yang sudah berlalu, barulah ada ruang kepada perkara yang akan mendatang. Berilah peluang kepada yang baru. Lihat ke depan, barulah hidup lebih segar dan bermakna.

love

This is what I promised you, I'll be there at times when you need me most, even if you are far away.

what a friend..

Well, you go to your so-called friends when you need their help. But at normal times, do you even say hie to them? NO! So why being so hypocrite? If you consider someone as your friend, show some concern on their lives, not when you need them in your life. 

Don't Give Up!

Inspired to share this. You see, plants big or small can still grow even by the roadside, rooftop, drain and in the extreme places. What they need is just some water and sunrise. Same goes to human. We should not give up when we face challenges, even if the world is not by your side. Keep going and work harder, sooner or later, you'll be what you wanted to be. It's all in your mind and heart.
