The Absolute Reminder

2012-01-31T03:47:00.000+10:30

Salam

Have any of you gone through a near death experience? Aku ade lah beberapa kali sepanjang 23 tahun lebih nyawa yang Allah kurniakan kat aku ni. Hampir accident tu dah biasa tapi Alhamdulillah aku bukan jenis driver reckless (walaupun saman berderet).

22 January 2012. I will remember this date till the end of my life. On that day, aku pergi snorkeling + cliff diving kat Second Valley. Sebenarnya tu hari kedua berturut2 pegi situ sebab semalamnye pun dah belasah snorkeling kat situ jugak. Punya la hyper budak2 Adelaide ni time summer sampai sanggup pegi tempat sama 2 hari berturut (or rather punya la dah takde keje nak buat)

Second Valley was awesome. Tak banyak ikan macam kat Port Noarlunga but the corals, underwater caves are simply breath-taking, ala2 Sanctum gitu. First day pegi (21 Jan 2012), sampai sane dalam pukul 2 so tak dapat berendam lama sangat sebab air pasang dalam pukul 4 petang camtu. Air pasang = arus kuat, very very dangerous to go into the water. Hari tu dapat snorkel on the left side of the jetty je. Hence the decision to go again the next day sebab nak explore the right side of the jetty plak.

22 January 2012. Sampai sana pukul 12. Long story cut short, we spent 2 hours+ explore belah kanan jetty tu. Nothing much, awesome corals and a huge starfish besar muke bukh hahahah. Sambung balik pegi belah kiri plak lepas rest + lunch. Air dah mule pasang siket2 tapi still safe.

Tengah syok2 snorkel tiba2 ade satu lembaga hitam lalu betul2 sebelah Nazerul, ke Moharis entah. Ingatkan ape la, rupenye seal! Habis jakun semua kejar sebab tak pernah dapat tengok dekat2. Seal tu pulak menggedik dengan kitorang. Mula bertempek atas batu, bajet sunbathing la konon. Tengok kitorang terhegeh2 nak datang kat die. Pastu bile kitorang dah sampai, die masuk air balik, pusing2 360 darjah atas air tu. Entah ape die buat aku pun tak tau. Ape kau ingat ni renang berirama ke? Kutuk2 jugak, tapi aku still jakun sebab memang besar natang tu. Cume tak secomel yang aku bayangkan la. Hitam, pastu misai gold.

Cerita meleleh-leleh, tapi tak sampai lagi kat main point post ni. After 3 hours kot lepak2 kat dalam air tu, kitorang decide nak patah balik. Air pun dah pasang, arus kuat angin pun kuat. Somehow aku decide tak nak swim balik sebab satu aku dah penat. I'm not a strong swimmer, actually i'm don't even know how to swim. Main belasah je snorkeling tu. Kalau campak tengah2 laut takde snorkel mask, 99% aku karam straight tanpa dikesan. Satu lagi aku manusia yang punya zero level of tahan sejuk. Air laut kat Aussie ni memang always sejuk tak kisah la sekarang summer ke tak. Hari tu aku menggigil dah macam orang Parkinson pun ade. Risk analysis done, so aku decide nak jalan/hike je balik pegi jetty. Situ takde beach maka kene la panjat cliff yang agak steep. Orang lain dah start swim balik and tinggal aku sorang je lah yang gatal nak jalan.

Jalan punye jalan, crap dah tak bole jalan. Sebab ade cave kat bawah, kire macam jadi gaung la. Nak tak nak, aku kene struggle turun balik kat air. Orang2 lain dah lepak kat batu across the cave tunggu aku (Aku tak tau camne korang nak picture tempat tu sebab aku baca balik ape yang aku tulis ni pun blank. Pape je lah hahaha).

Sebelum masuk air tu aku dah tak sedap hati dah, sebab aku tau memang aku dah tak larat. Tapi nak tak nak kene la jugak. Kalau tak kene tinggal duduk dalam gua tu pulak nanti. Baca bismillah, aku terjun dalam air. I have probably about 50-60 metres to reach safety. And yeap the worst happened. About halfway nak sampai kat batu diorg lepak tu, ombak besar datang and air terus masuk dalam breathing piece mask aku. Selalunye kalau air masuk hembus balik kuat2 dah ok. Tapi yang ni aku terus tersedak, tertelan air banyak gile. My breath was cut short sebab air dah masuk dalam respiratory system.

Alhamdulillah otak aku masih clear lagi. Aku cabut mask tu and try to swim normally (free style). Too bad i've overestimated my own capability and stamina. Aku dapat 2,3 kuak je pastu terus pancit and started to sink. Aku memang tak reti float tapi dah moment genting macam tu try je la belasah kuak kaki tangan sedaya boleh. Tapi heh, bukannye timbul, makin tenggelam ade la hahaha.

Again, Alhamdulillah Azam perasan aku in trouble. Die dan Mukhlis terus swim datang kat aku. Ade la seminit dua jugak before diorang sampai and i'm really2 at my limit. Kalau kau tengok movie2 Hollywood, where all the drowning victim screaming for help, tu semua tipu. Palsu belaka! You will never be able to shout when you're drowning, cause you wont be able to obtain enough air. Kalau air laut ye la, ade la berliter2 jugak aku telan. Yani cakap diorang semua jerit2 kat batu tu, "stay calm, don't panic" tapi haram ape pun aku tak denga hahaha.

Then came Nazerul. Those three helped me to get to safety. Time tu aku diperlakukan seperti bola. Kene pass sane, pass sini sebab diorang pun dah penat. Susah kot nak float sendiri pastu nak kene tampung berat aku lagi. Alhamdulillah aku selamat sampai kat batu where i can catch my breath.

One thing about drowning, you're not only risking your life, but the life of those people who try to save you too. For that, i really2 want to thank Azam, Mukhlis and Nazerul. They took a big, huge fat risk nak selamatkan aku.
Dengan izin Allah, hidup lagi aku hari ni.

This won't stop me from snorkeling/swimming again tapi after that day, aku terus pegi belajar swimming dengan otai2 tersebut hahaha. Dah terhantuk baru nak terngadah. Sebelum ni kemain lagi terjun jetty la terjun cliff la.

Kuasa Allah kan? Nak tarik nyawa kite anytime je. Hantar air masuk snorkel mask pun dah setel. Such a small, insignificant being, us human. That was an absolute reminder to me, from Him. Alhamdulillah....

Bersihkan Sawang Fuhh Fuhh

Last post untuk blog ni bertarikh 20 August 2010. Meaning, dah dekat setaun 4 bulan aku tak update blog. Sebabnye? Hujung tahun lepas aku ade awek. So layan awek ah. Layan blog buat hape. Masuk 2011, busy dengan uni pulak. What's supposed to be my final year in Adelaide turns out not to be the final year (ye aku tau ayat macam ayat keling). Maka terabailah blog ini buat seketika.

Now, it's summer 2011 and i'm not going back to Malaysia for the whole 3 months semester break. Sebab? Aku kene prepare untuk tahun depan. Ade possibility untuk status aku sebagai pelajar tajaan JPA bertukar jadi pelajar tajaan sendiri. Kalau bole taknak la mintak duit mak bapak. Aku pun dah 23 tahun. Besar panjang dah. Diorang pun dah pencen.

Ade advantage hidup guna duit sendiri ni. You control every single cents of your spending. That means, duit kau, suka hati kau lah nak buat ape. You can ask your parents for advice but since kau tak menyusahkan diorang, i dont think it's going to be a big deal. Unless for some reason diorang terang2 tak restu dengan ape yang kau buat dengan duit kau. So pandai2 sendiri lah. Jangan jadi anak derhaka. Kene sumpah jadi batu baru tau.

Banyak benda jadi dalam hidup aku starting from mid 2010. Budak2 Adelaide tau lah drama yang jadik taun lepas har har har (Sila lupekan cepat2. Aku nak mulakan hidup baru ni). And i learned even more shits that life can possibly throw to us. 2011 is not exactly a good year for me. In fact, i might say the worst so far. Tapi for some reason, ade parts in 2011 that i love the most despite it being the worst. Senang je nak explain why it is so. Contrast. You are in the deepest shit ever to the point that you will appreciate every single good things that happened to you. Agak2 kau bole paham dak?

Maybe aku nak tarik balik statement aku yang 2011 is the worst year ever. Why? Aku rasa aku hidup aku lebih terisi dan mungkin sedikit menggelikan, tapi aku rasa aku matang sket taun ni bahahahahah. Did a lot of stuff, belajar hidup cara susah, and around me there is a bunch of awesome friends. These guys are the best ever (though most of them are girls actually ngahahahah. Dah jangan nak label aku penggadis pulak. Tu title utk Mad Ridhuan kot, walaupun die skarang dah ade awek). It's sucks that they're all going back to Malaysia for good in...damn, 2 minggu je lagi? Pftttt. *insertforeveralonememehere* Maybe paling terasa nanti bile my best bro dah chow. Takde geng nak buat keje2 mengarut dah. (Tak gay kan ayat ni? Aku tak cium die macam Ariff Alfian tu cium balak die).

Post ni bole dikategorikan sebagai post personal. Ade orang tak suke bace post2 macam ni. Bagi diorang blog2 yang tempek too much personal stuff ni blog sampah. Takpe. Aku pun tak suke sangat nak merepek pasal aku banyak2 kat public. Aku bukan narcissistic....kot bahahahah. Whatever. Chow~

P/S: Berkarat super kepala aku nak menulis skarang ni. Aku perlukan kreativiti dan inspirasi. Di manakah kamu????

"If I had a Brother, he'll be graduating today (Din Rambut 2010)". Ini ayat yang diutarakan Din pada hari Capik grad, Selasa 10 August 2010. Kesian die takde abang. hahaha. Takpe dude. We all have a good brother in Capik. Sadly, he's no longer here, in Adelaide i mean. Selamat je mamat tu kat Malaysia sekarang. haha.

What a beauty lol =P

Photographer, Skrumble bassist, Frisbee captain, unique laugh, what else? Owh, sweet talker too. ngahaha. Its just so rare to find all these qualities in one person (maybe faktor saiz beliau yg menyebabkan beliau mampu menampung bnyk bakat sekaligus. hehehe. ampun capik!!)

14 August 2010 yang lepas, beliau telah selamat berangkat pulang, for good ke Malaysia. Certainly feel like something is missing when he's gone. Adelaide is just no longer the same without u

The three brothers. Now only two left T__T

Kepada Khairil Syafiq Sirajuddin, selamat maju jaya in whatever u're doing after this. Jaga aweks baik-baik. Takmo gado-gado, nanti aku gigit perut kau. muahaha. All the best and insyaAllah, panjang umur kita jumpa, gelak kuat-kuat sama-sama lagi okeh?

Sayonara Capik! Hujung taun ni pun balik jugak. So we gonna meet again real soon!

Mukaddimah. Aku sedang menaip dengan memakai glove dek tak tertahan dengan kesejukan winter di Adelaide. Biasanya tiada masalah, tapi winter kali ini lain macam sejuknya. Pendapat aku ini disokong oleh orang veteran Adelaide, Mr Mangkuk Hayun. Macam mana tak lain, hampir beku dan numb tangan aku dibuatnya kalau terdedah lama-lama. Walaupun tak selesa dan sukar untuk menaip bila saiz jari dah jadi extra besar ni, tapi redah aje lah.

Never mind the Aston Martin DBS, i'll be content if i got to drive on that kind of road someday

Exam dah habis, maka macam biasalah. Macam-macam benda dah diplan (actually masa exam hari tu lah paling ligat kepala ni dok fikir apa nak buat bila exam dah habis).

Rancangan dibuat bukan semata-mata untuk sedapkan hati, nampak macam sibuk ada benda nak dibuat. Bila dah merancang, kenalah laksanakan. Barulah terjalan purpose merancang tu dan takdelah kita berlaku kejam terhadap diri sendiri.

Antaranya :

1. Basuh kereta and polish siap. Kasi kilat sket

2. Settlekan perihal internship. Gunakan segala cable yang ade. muahaha

3. Kemas bilik bagi lagi cun walaupun sudah tersedia cun

4. Service and organize PC. Sedut segala habuk and sort all the files

5. Marathon Top Gear dari season 1 - 10. Lebam la jawabnye

6. Habiskan baca The Inheritance Trilogy

7. Setelkan kerja-kerja NCG yang tinggal (Room listing, distribute jersey and agreement form, etc)

8. Merempit tengah2 malam kat Adelaide, basikal version. Partner sudah ade

9. Chow ke Canberra for NCG (11hb - 16hb July 2010)

10. Sambung balik merendek kat sini

11. Prepare for supp (mintak dijauhkan)

12. Supplementary exam.... (19hb - 24hb July, sekali lagi mintak dijauhkan)

Buat masa ni, tu je lah kot. Yang sudah setel akan di cross kemudian. Selamat bercuti untuk semua yang bercuti

Be wise,

Be patient,

Be considerate,

Never let your emotion loose when the mind is there to guide it.

Think for yourself cause other's not gonna do it for you,

But remember,

1. Kelas aku tamat pada 1 petang tadi. Plan asalnya lepas Zohor ingat nak lepak kat CATS buat kerja sikit. Lepas sejam lepak situ, mata aku dah mula buat hal, signal suruh bukak contact lense lah tu.

2. Maka pulanglah daku menuju ke setesen bas. Tapi naluri aku mengajak aku supaya meronggeng sebentar di Rundle Mall, cuci mata sikit dan mungkin singgah sebentar di Swinging Bowl melawat bos dan rakan-rakan sekerja aku.

3. Sesungguhnya naluri aku telah menemukan aku dengan 2 buah kereta yang menjadi pujaan, boleh kata mana-mana lelaki yang gila kereta lah. Meleleh sebentar air liur aku tadi, mana tak nye, Audi R8 dengan Lamborghini Gallardo terpampang depan mata beb!

4. Memang aku macam orang jakun tadi. Tapi kesah ape aku. Asalkan dapat cuci mata puas-puas. Lepas beberapa ketika melepak dan berborak dengan mamat yang jaga exhibition ni, ada la 2 orang lagi staff datang kata "Time's up!". Hallamak, cun lah tu. Dapat tengok diorang operate kereta ni depan-depan..aku ingatkan macam tu lah. Aku pun semangat lah ready kan video phone aku. Nak record punya pasal

5. Sekali, die tolak je kereta tu pegi dekat tow truck yang lebih kurang 5 meter je dari situ. Aiseh, kempunan den. Tak pelah. Dapat rekod menda alah tu naik tow truck pun jadi lah.

6. Info pasal kereta-kereta ini boleh dilihat di sini dan di sini

7. Kereta-kereta ini dipamerkan sempena Clipsal500 yang akan bermula pada esok, 11 Mac hingga 14 Mac. Apa itu Clipsal500? Klik sini.

8. Mamat tadi cakap, untuk category Australian GP, akan ada juga Ferrari, Porsche, Aston Martin, Viper dan Mosler selain Audi dan Lamborghini di atas (meleleh lagi aku dengar). Siap promote kat aku lagi suruh pegi Practice session Khamis (esok) ni, boleh tengok kereta-kereta tersebut line up for display. Teruja aku dengar, tapi mengenangkan kelas pada hari tersebut agak pack, hi hi bye bye je lah aku jawab. (duit pun satu hal)

Sekian..

p/s : sempat jugak lah aku pau segelas teh tarik kat Swinging Bowl tadi. Sorry lah bos. muahahahah

Stuff of The Month : February 2010

2010-03-09T19:03:00.000+10:30

Salam

We are already in the 2nd week of March, so this post is kinda late. Blame the school and SLB stuff for keeping me busy lol.

Songs of the Month:
1. The whole album Thank You Allah by Maher Zain

Download here

Heard this while i'm in a friend's car. I don't listen to nasyeed often but i found Maher's songs are quite different, and i certainly love this!

2. Dance Little Liar by Arctic Monkey

Download here

3. Holy Ghost by 009 Sound System

Download here

4. Where The Story Ends by The Fray

Download here

5. Somewhere in Between by Lifehouse

Download here

This is where the name of this blog comes from

Movies of the Month
1. The Prestige

"The secret impresses no one, but the trick you use it for, is everything"
"A man grasp exceeds his expectation"

2. Forever Strong

A debut film by Christiano Ronaldo lol
"I'll show you how to be strong on the field, so that you'll be forever strong of it"
"Good decisions don't make life easy, but they do make it easier"

3. Avenged Sevenfold : Live in The LBC
I first watched this on YouTube, and rewatched it countless time. But i'm not satisfied with the video quality there, which forced me to download the DVD rip. Still, it was too awesome i had to buy the original DVD. Just can't get enough of this band!

Few of the songs played during the concert:

Events of the Month
1. The Arrivals of New Students

This batch got the most new students to date, roughly 150. More than twice my batch (i think so). Lots of new faces and i still can't get around to know each and everyone of them. Later later lah. But perhaps the only negative consequence of having this many new students here is, you'll meet Melayu faces after like, every 10 steps at Rundle Mall and Uni. Fuliao~ Dah macam Indonesians kat Malaysia plak

2. Monarto Safari (almost there) Trip

This was planned exclusively for Epul, since he was like "Jom r pegi safari, jom r pegi safari" everyday during the last week of summer break. He's lucky he's got good friends like us. So there was 12 of us, including Fatin and Capik that just arrived in Adelaide that very morning (i forgot the day), and the transports were Mawar7's The Flashing Red Pajero and err..Capik's The Less Shiny White Falcon.

Unexpectedly, the trip to safari turned to be a dramatic day (kind of). Started off with the Pajero broke down, when we were just 8km from the safari, with the nearest workshop was like in 20km. Waited for about 2 hours for the tow truck to come. Then we got the news that the Pajero is practically gone, since it's got serious engine problem. Cool, now we got to tow back the Pajero to Adelaide.

Next, 7 of us have to go back by bus and here starts the drama "Kejar Bas!!". haha. They missed the last bus back so no other options other than chasing the bus while asking for the driver's to stop. I'm not one of the 7 guys so i can't really imagine how was the situation looked like. But certainly that was one hell of a day

Sekian..

p/s : Managed to get a lot of stuff done today..and certainly feel good about it :D

The Adventure of The Five Macha : Cendol Edition

2010-03-01T04:06:00.000+10:30

Salam

1. Pada Jumaat yang lepas (kalau tak silap lah), ana mendapat mesej daripada akh Bukhari. Mesej tersebut berbunyi "Akh Siraj, adakah enta berminat untuk menyertai ana membuat cendol?" Fuh, memang confirm la ana nak. Almaklumlah tengah mengidam kalah perempuan mengandung ni.

2. Maka bermulalah episod pengembaraan kami, bermula dengan pencarian bahan - bahan yang diperlukan seperti tepung beras, daun pandan, gula melaka dan juga susu tersejat (evaporated milk?). Bahan - bahan ini semua kami dapatkan di kedai runcit Asia di Greenacres. Bahan-bahan lain seperti santan dan sebagainya sudah ada di rumah.

3. Pengembaraan ini diketuai oleh kapten The Macha, Bukh-cha

Disertai juga oleh Qib-cha

dan juga adik - beradik K-cha, iaitu Kam-cha dan juga Kai-cha

4. Selesai dengan urusan bahan-bahan, kami bergerak ke tempat pertama yang telah dikenal pasti sesuai geografinya untuk menghasilkan cendol, iaitu The Kirb, dengan nama lain tempat bertendangnya Bukh-cha, Qib-cha dan juga Kam-cha. Sesampainya kami di situ, terlihat ada lagi 2 orang keluarga The Macha, iaitu Na-cha dan juga Ring-cha (Gambar dirahsiakan). Macam tahu-tahu je orang nak buat cendol. Selidik punya selidik, mereka rupanya ade urusan syarikat. Mahu tahu ape bisnes mereka? Lihat disini. Shapowwww!!!

5. Langkah pertama, sediakan alat-alat bertukang seperti tukul dan juga screw driver. Tin santan kosong jangan dilupa

6. Tidak, kami tak guna halia dalam botol kaca tu untuk buat cendol. Tak pernah lagi sepanjang hampir 2x tahun ana hidup ana jumpa cendol berperisa halia. Kami cuma menyalahgunakan botol kaca tersebut sebagai teman kepada tin santan yang telah dilubangi sepertimana yang terpampang di dalam gambar di atas, iaitu sebagai peneran tepung cendol.

7. Berikut adalah apa yang berlaku pada hari tersebut (kurang mengikut kronologi) :

Antara bahan-bahan yang digunakan

Air pandan yang kemudiannye dicampur dengan tepung beras

kacau punya kacau, terhasillah doh (dough?) di atas

cacing hijau cendol yang diteran menggunakan alatan buatan sendiri. kami mula terasa excited setelah cacing ini terhasil.

rebus gula melaka pulak

memandangkan santan tin di Australia ni rasanye kureng sikit, kami modify la dengan menambah susu penuh kerim dan juga susu tersejat. itu pun rasa santan tersebut masih lagi..kureng. tapi jadilah~

kisar ais siket, dan....

yiihaa! ini cendol ana yang punya!!

lihatlah muka muka mereka ini. cendolgasm ana cakap anta beb!

Kai-cha aka Mr Muscle juga mengalami cendolgasm!!

8. Semua ahli-ahli The Macha mabuk cendol pada hari itu, mana tak nye, sorang nak bantai sampai 5 cawan. Nikmatnya..fuh!! Lepas jugak gian ana nak makan cendol ni. Jutaan terima kasih kepada semua yang terlibat menjayakan misi cendol ini. Ada kemungkinan besar misi ini akan dilaksanakan lagi kerana cendol yang terhasil pada hari itu masih lagi di fasa ujian. Belum boleh dijual.

9. Bila dah pakar, baru boleh ajak ramai-ramai makan. Tapi tu kalau ana rajin dan pemurahlah pada waktu itu. Ngahaha.

Sekian..

p/s : Entri ini boleh dikatakan sudah basi. Lebih seminggu masa ana ambil untuk pos entri ini. Itu pun selepas beberapa kali kene marah dengan Bukh-cha

1. The largest group of new students this year arrived in Adelaide last Sunday, 14th of February 2010. There were about 40 boys and 60 girls and i was asked to help pick them up at the airport. It has been a tradition here for the seniors to help them settle down in the new environment. Well, my seniors helped me when i first arrived here and now it's my turn to help my juniors. Of course that's not only reason, if you got me. ngahaha

2. The boys were divided into 3 groups and each group was taken to their temporary accommodation, rumah senior je lah. Nak duduk hotel ko bayar lah sendiri. Some pictures below :

siap guna trailer bawak barang² mereka ini

MARA students had a meeting with their advisor, Pn Nora that morning

yg bukan jantan 6 orang je? ape kes ni MARA??

at BankSA, for their new bank account registration the next day

3. I hadn't been able to able to help them as much as i helped last year juniors this time around, since work's been keeping me busy week in week out. Tomorrow is my last catalog delivery session before i quit the job. So i should have much much more free time to mingle around and see what can i do for them, unless the perasan-hensem boss of Swinging Bowl decides to give me more shift (aku ready je anytime boss, tadehal la).

4. A trip to Victor Harbour is another a-must for the new guys and the plan will be put into motion this Sunday (tomorrow). Will report that in upcoming post

5. Though it may be a little late now, but i must say, Welcome to Adelaide! Korang yang ade dengar orang cakap Adelaide bosan la, bandar orang tua la, jangan percaye semua tu. Sesungguhnya mereka dengki dengan suasana Adelaide yang aman damai ni

Sekian

Siri Surat Cinta 1

2010-02-13T01:37:00.000+10:30

Salam

1. Surat cinta..seronok kalau dapat. Lagi² la kalau yang bagi kau surat tu memang gadis idaman. Cair hati dan perasaan wa cakap lu beb. Zaman² sekolah dulu, bagi yang kurang berada dan tiada handphone, selit² surat bawah meja dan locker buku pun jadi. Asalkan mesej sampai. Walaupun aku tak pernah dapat, tapi aku tau seronok sebab tengok kawan² terkinja² seronok bile dapat. Macam monyet pun ade. muahahaha. Maaf ye kawan². Tapi rasenye orang yang aku maksudkan ni tak bace pun blog ni. Bagus!

2. Surat² cinta macam tu memang hebat, hingga mampu mencairkan jiwa dan perasaan. Tapi start dari tahun lepas, aku mula dapat surat² macam tu. Malah lagi hebat. Hingga mampu membuatkan jiwa kacau..dan juga menipiskan poket. Nak tau kenape? Jom tengok isi kandungan surat² tersebut

Warna -warni lagi surat ni

Zoom dan lihatlah kenape ia membuatkan jiwa kacau dan menipiskan poket

3. Itu tahun lepas. Alhamdulillah dapat dua je. Kene lagi 1 pun dah boleh buat menangis maa. Tahun ni pulak, rezeki aku masih lagi murah. Ade je bertambah peminat. Kalau tahun lepas, officer² polis wanita yang nampak cun gile dalam uniform diorang tu yang sangkut kat aku. Tahun ni, mamat berbaju kemeja putih, pakai shade and topi ala² Justin Timberlake dan membawa mini-printer ke mana² pulak yang sangkut. Haih, jantan pun nak lekat, parah aku macam ni.

4. Tapi die dari City Council je. Lega sikit aku. Sebab pangkat die rendah, jadi nilai surat cinta die tu pun rendah je la. Rendah² pun, habis gaji 2 session aku hantar catalog melayang camtu je. Tahi! Inilah rupa bentuk surat beliau.

xde kaler pun surat ni. x menarik hati langsung

5. Tapi mamat tu pandai. Die tau ade kemungkinan besar aku buat² x layan je surat die ni. So die letak la something dekat sebelah surat ni, bajet nak tarik perhatian aku la. Memang die pandai. Sebab aku terpandang "something" tu dulu dan lepas tu baru aku perasan ade surat ni dekat sebelah die. ngahaha

Macam tau² je aku mmg tgh sengal² badan lately

6. Jadi, suka untuk aku nasihatkan korang semua supaya patuhilah peraturan. Tak susah pun, unless ko memang dah desperate sangat nak surat cinta kan. Tapi series jangan. Pegi mimpi la kalau ko berangan nak tekel officer² polis wanita yang cun tersebut. Junior² baru pun dah nak sampai kat Adelaide ni. Lebih baik ko try tekel dorang (dengar² ramai perempuan. yeah! muahaha).

Sekian..

p/s : Walaupun aku letak title entry ni "Siri Surat Cinta 1", aku sama sekali tak mengharapkan ade episode 2

Jika anda rasa meluat dan berfikir "hek eleh mamat ni, macam orang lain takde benda alah tu jugak", saya tak akan menyuruh anda berhenti membaca entri ini, malah saya merayu anda supaya teruskan membaca lagi, biar meluat kaw² sampai muntah pun takpe.

2. Tapi, takde la nak tunjuk ape sangat pun. Setakat alat telekomunikasi yang besar tapak tangan, warna putih, ada camera sikit. Semua orang pun ade.

3. Begini, tengahari tadi aku pergi Rundle Mall dengan Kaisan. Kami berniat untuk renew and upgrade contract phone kitorang dengan Three. Aku memang dah lama berniat nak tukar ke cap 49 dan amek N97. Kaisan pulak, amek iPhone beb! Bertambah lagi sorang ahli komuniti iPhone yang memang dah sedia ramai kat Adelaide ni. Nanti junior² baru sampai next week, memang boleh agak ar diorang nak pakai hp ape kan. Almaklumlah, kat Malaysia kan mahal lagi.

Apabila monyet bermain gendang, kanak² pula yang melompat²

4. Selesai urusan di city, pulanglah daku bermain² dengan permainan baru tersebut. Berikut adalah aku yang jakun membuka kotak hp tersebut.

Siap bagi ad game Guitar Rock Tour lagi. Case pun dapat free. Cun la tu

5. Lepas belek², baling sane, hempas sini, aku berpuas hati la dengan phone ni. Kalau ade komplen pun, batery die agak loose ar bile bukak back-case. Disebabkan aku dah biase main dengan iPod Touch dan iPhone, memang terasa lag sikit la touchscreen N97 ni kalau nak compare dari aspect sensitivity. But no biggie. Will get used to it sooner or later.

6. Kalau aku rajin, aku buat la full review bile aku dah habis teroka phone ni (macam la reti nak buat review). Sekian...

Stuff of The Month : January 2010

2010-02-03T23:51:00.001+10:30

Salam

The idea for this post popped up in my head when i was doing my routine catalog delivery this evening. Nothing much, just feel like sharing some of the stuff i listen, watch, read etc etc and i'm going to do this on monthly basis. It could be anything and doesn't necessarily have to be newly released, if you talking about songs and movies. They are just some of the things, if not all, that i enjoy the most during that particular month.

Songs of the Month
1. My Happiness by Powderfinger

Download here

2. Fire by Kasabian

Download here

3. Escapist by Nightwish

Download here

4. Telephone by Lady Gaga ft Beyonce

Donwload here

5. Chacarron by El Chombo (genius song! trust me! wahahahah)

Download here (kalau ade yg nak r.hahahahah)

Movies of the Month
1. Avatar

Everybody knows about this movie, with record-breaking box office almost 1.9 billion in total. It knocked out Titanic (also directed by James Cameron) from it's throne, where Titanic held the record for 12 years. Some say this movie is overrated and the more expensive 3D tickets is the reason for the high gross, but it's still a great movie nevertheless. The CGI is just mind-blowing, especially The Floating Hallelujah Mountain.

Source : Wikipedia & Telegraph

2. Couples Retreat

Synopsis here

I don't know why the critics at RT gave this movie such a low rating (12%), because i certainly enjoyed it. It's just..hilarious! For a normal romantic-comedy like this, there's no need for serious analysis like that. Set no expectations, and enjoy~.

3. 500 Days of Summer

Synopsis here

"This is a story that most people can probably relate to, unless you are one of those lucky people never to have been on the losing end of the game of love" (Robert 2009)

4. Sherlock Holmes

Synopsis here

Watched this at Wallis Drive-in Cinema, Gepps Cross. Surely going to watch this again, in Blu-Ray no less.

Events of the Month
1. The Great Ocean Road & Mt Gambier Road Trip

This trip was on early January, planned exclusively for Zubair aka Asi's bf (aku dah promote korang ni, bayar r!). GOR never disappoints me with it's stunning view. Surely i won't mind going there again.

2. Melbourne Food Hunting & Big Day Out Festival

The full post can be read here, though it doesn't have any BDO pictures since i didn't bring my camera during the festival (Din's actually..i need a camera real bad!). Saw Muse, Kasabian, Powderfinger etc etc live there. Oh, Lily Allen was awesome too. I still remember she kicked a cameraman on the stage while performing. Bad girl as ever lol

These are what i have in my mind for the time being. Maybe i'll think of some other categories for the next posts.

Sekian..

p/s : murah rezeki aku 2,3 hari ni. Sabtu melantak nasi briyani(ke nasi minyak ah?) dekat rumah Azam. Pastu tolong orang ni dapat nasi dagang + cheescake, tolong orang tu plak dapat sushi. Alhamdulillah

Peristiwa Misteri Si Maggi

Salam

1. Malam tadi, atau lebih tepat, pagi tadi aku rasa lapar yang amat. Jam sudah menunjukkan lebih pukul 3 am, dan orang pun selalu cakap makan lewat² macam ni boleh gemuk (though aku pun x pasti kenapa that fact macam tak berapa boleh nak apply kat aku :D). Maka bergegaslah aku ke dapur menyelongkar apa² yang boleh dimakan. Tak banyak option yang ade, hanya maggi yang tinggal.

2. Macam biase lah. Panaskan air, letak maggi dalam mangkuk, bukak perencah dan tabur atas maggi dalam mangkuk tu. 2-3 minit kemudian, air panas pun masak dan aku pun tuangla air dalam mangkuk tu. Tapi...sedang aku tuang air tu, aku rasa musykil. Musykil yang amat sampai tergaru² kepala. Puas aku terfikir, pasal ape la musykil sangat ni.

3. Fikir punye fikir, aku pun terpandang la plastic maggi sebelah mangkuk tu. Laaaaa..patut la!

4. Hampeh betul. Macam mane la aku boleh terlupa langsung yang aku tengah buat maggi goreng. Nak repair balik memang tak dapat la. Sebab aku dah letak perencah sekali dalam mangkuk tu, siap dah larut pun lepas aku tuang air tu. Lantak la. Aku rase sikit kuah tu, ade jugak la rasa maggi. So, tak perlu la membazir nak buat baru.

5. Mengikut buku teks Syariah yang aku belajar kat sekolah dulu, "zalim" bermaksud tidak meletakkan sesuatu pada tempat yang betul. Jadi, aku telah berlaku zalim ke atas maggi tersebut. Sila maafkan daku yeh cik maggi!

Inilah maggi yang telah dizalimi aku

6. Hari Isnin (semalam), aku pergi Coles cari barang² sikit. Sampai dekat section sayur², aku usha la halia. Mak datuk harga die!

Kalah harga seafood wo! Masalah halia ni pun pernah dinukilkan oleh Tokey Swinging Bowl (restoran melayu kat Adelaide) yang perasan hensem tersebut. Boleh dibaca di sini.

7. Weekend yang best untuk fan Man United. 3-1 win over Arsenal, impressive i'd say. The scoreline didn't really do justice to Arsenal, but they only have themselves to blame since they squandered sooo many chances to go ahead during the game. Again, Rooney was the man and Nani continued to be a revelation these past few games. The build up to the first goal gave me a chill, it's almost as if i saw the reincarnation of Ronaldo in Nani. Hope they'll keep this momentum going

Gilo ah mamat ni

1. Waktu² sengkek macam ni la jumpa benda² best untuk dibeli. Tapi buat masa ni, berangan je la yang aku mampu. Aku rasa macam kekurangan t-shirt sekarang dan orang pun perasan aku asyik cycle baju sama je. ngahaha. Sorry lah. Aku bukan kaki shopping dan aku juga bukanlah orang berada. Orang perempuan lain cerita ar. Senang² je boleh dapat baju 3 for 10 dollar. Baju laki? in your dream lah nak jumpa!

2. So, aku rasa macam tertarik nak beli baju ni. The problem is, ada 3 colour and semua macam cun. Jadi, kalau² lah ada orang baca post ni, mintak opinion korang boleh? Ponin dah pale den nak pilih ni.

3. Contract phone aku dengan 3 pun dah nak expire next month. Aku bercadang nak upgrade ke 49 cap since aku guna 29 cap sekarang. Walaupun 29 tu pun jarang² je habis pakai, tapi aku berazam nak jadi anak yang baik tahun ni, nak lagi selalu gayut dengan mak abah. Moga² dengan penukaran cap ni tercapai la azam tersebut.

4. Usha punye usha, ada 2 phone je yg aku rasa paling compelling dalam list phone yg available untuk 49 cap. iPhone 3GS and Nokia N97. I've been a fan of these two phones since diorang baru keluar lagi. Kalau nak compare dari aspect style and good user experience, i think iPhone win in that respect. Tapi N97 pun ada certain elements that wins over the iPhone. Tak nak cerita panjang kat sini because there are already countless reviews and comparisons made out there.

5. Aku pun dah ada iPod Touch, so practically i already have what iPhone has to offer except, of course making calls, texting and 3G. Oleh yang demikian, aku pun decide untuk ambik N97 ni. Cuma nak tanya kawan² yang ada phone ni (once again, kalau² la ade org baca post ni), your experience with this phone.

6. Some random stuff. Suke suki je benda alah ni tukar geografi Malaysia

Sekian..

1. You may laugh all you want, but i went all the way to Melbourne just to find some authentic Malaysian (not so authentic actually). Departed on last Monday and just got back today. I didn't get to cover all the halal restaurant there, but it doesn't matter much. There is always a next time (granted that i have the money). Some pics below

Monday morning with Mango Cheesecake + Cappucino at Michel's

Ikan Bakar at Blok M (Azam, bile ko nak buat lauk ikan weh??)

Nasi Lemak with Seafood Sauce

Nasi Briyani with Lamb curry, Chicken Vindaloo and Pumpkin at Zam Zam

Roti Canai at Zam Zam as well

Mango malt drink (imported from Germany)

Durian + Lychee Ice cream at Il Dolce Freddo

KFC Ultimate Burger Meal

2. Concluded the tour with a dozen Krispy Creme doughnuts (ala-ala Dunkin Donuts Malaysia) but i forgot to take the picture of it. It was fun and well worth the money. Now i'm thinking of going to Sydney or Perth next for the same purpose, and again, if i got the money.

p/s : berat before pergi Melbourne = 68 kg, berat lepas balik Melbourne = 65 kg. hmmm....

The Adventure of The Two Tambi

2010-01-24T23:53:00.000+10:30

Salam.

1. It was on last Friday night, while i was sitting in the middle of my bedroom patiently sorting all the catalogs that have to be distributed this weekend. Suddenly my phone rang and Din's name appeared on it [kenape la bukan Jamilah ke, Fatimah ke..seronok sikit nak jawab]

The phone conversation was as follows :

   Din : Halo mat, ape ko buat malam ni?
   Aku : Aku tengah susun² catalog. Awat?
   Din : Owh, malam ni ape ko buat?
   [dasar tambi punye budak..dah cakap susun catalog
   tadi kan]
   Aku : Huh? Aku tengah susun catalog nih
   Din : Bukan, tengah² malam sikit
   Aku : Oooh..hang ni cakap kasi terang la sikit. Jangan la
   macam tambi. muahahah. Malam ni eh? Lepas aku
   settle susun catalog ni, takde mende dah kot. Awat?
   Din : Aku ingat nak melepak ar. Jalan² cari angin malam sikit.
   Pusing² city. Amacam?
   Aku : Hmm..Orait gak. Aku pun macam dah lemas ngadap
   catalog ni manjang. Pukul berape nak gerak ni?
   Din : Dalam pukul 11 camtu ke? Ok?
   Aku : Set. Aku nak gerak nnt aku bagitau. Assalamualaikum
   Din : Waalaikumsalam

So, that's how it began. After i'm done with my catalogs sorting, i went to Din's house to pick him up [kacau² Munir sikit] and we set off for our journey that night.

2. We hit Hungry Jack's first to prepare ourselves for the long night to come [makan itu penting..energy itu penting]. Surprisingly, it was quite empty for a Friday night, unlike what we had previously seen. Perhaps it is summer now, and people are out of Adelaide for holiday or something. As usual, a Whopper and a Hot Choc [i seriously need to reduce my caffeine intake]

After spending like, one good hour there watching drunk people antics and their "weird" dressing, we decided to stroll along the Rundle Mall and along the way, i found this poster that made me wonder why it's still being put up, on a clothes shop nonetheless

This was broadcasted back in 1983. Heck, i wasn't even born yet

3. Normally, there are no Malay students like us willingly going out this late on a Friday night, since you're very likely to encounter problems, particularly because you're Asian. Some random drunk dudes come and spewing some random rants at you and watching a group of black girls shouting at the whites [kalau usha diorang ni bergaduh lama², nanti kau pun tak pasal² terlibat] are some of the troubles you might want to avoid.

4. And that was our objective that night, to get a first hand experience on those troubles @ nak cari pasal, and i must say, we've been quite successful. No no, we didn't go out to be a part of that wild and kinky night. Saya masih suci dan terpelihara dari gejala² moral sebegitu. Sekian, terima kasih.

5. Back to the story, after walking along the Rundle Mall, we arrived at the most famous spot for night activities in Adelaide, Hindley Street or better known among us as "Sarang Maksiat"

The Entrance

One of the famous landmark here

6. We were approached by some drunk guys few times throughout the night. Funny, scary and all sorts of behavior, oh, and smelly too. The smell of booze were so strong it made me holding my breath everytime i walk next to them or next to clubs. These are what we encountered that night, in chronological order :

i. Two dudes came at us and "Hey mate, what are you doing? I bet you must be looking for vulnerable chicks to f**k huh!" Then he looked at Din "I know you did. From your smile i know you did. You dirty b*sta*d! Hahaha" Hotak kau lol. They even tried to hook us up with two girls that walking toward us, only to be distracted by another drunk group. We took the chance to escape.hahah. They are pretty friendly so all good!

ii. A chubby girl came at me and ask politely, whether i have some extra coins for taxi. I know this is just a normal trick, but seeing her friend is kinda hot (ngahaha), i gave her 50 cents. Jadila tu kan. Dah cukup gentleman dah tu

iii. An aborigin asked us where we're from. He even asked me "Are you a Japanese?" Aku rase nak gelak kaw² je time tu. See, i'm not that black!! hahah. Then we told him we are Malaysian. "Is that a Muslim country?" I've got a hunch not to answer this question since he might turned out to be a Muslim hater, at least his face expression while asking that question tells me so. Then we left him just like that [i'm thinking of answering 'yes' to that question the next time someone else ask me..just to see what's going to happen]

iv. A super skinny guy, talking about how he had just finished having sex with a girl on an alley somewhere around Central Market. He showed us the love bites on his hand, some scratches on his back and even bragged how he enjoyed the rough ride. Ish3, rosak akhlak kau ni. The last thing he said was, "I've gotta piss, oh wait, there is a hot chick there. I'm gonna go and hit on her" and there he goes

v. This is by far the most interesting encounter. On the way back to my car, along North Terrace, a black guy stopped me. He's much much taller than me, and pretty well-build too. He asked me whether i have a cigarette or not. I didn't quite catch that the first time he asked. So while i was trying to understand what he said, Din blurted out this old trick, "Me no English, me no english" .I held my laugh, since Mr Black suddenly turned sour and murmuring something in his language. The last thing i heard was "F**k you!" and bang!, he smashed the bus stop right next him. We were like, oh sh*t! Kalau kene batang hidung ni, mau berdarah! Sedikit cuak di situ. Trying our best to ignore him, we left without looking back, straight to my car.

7. Enough with the encounters, we also took the chance to do some night photographing. Here are some of the pictures :

Coles Victoria Square

Kene marah dengan Pak Guard Tambi lepas amek gambar ni

Next to Adelaide Tower, King William St.

Bus stop no berape entah

Bonython Hall

8. All in all, that was certainly a fun and entertaining night. Enjoying the city's view during the night, seeing people behaviour and some cam-whoring lol. Perhaps i should do this more often, but at different location. Ideas please?

1. Hari ini, Adelaide menyaksikan pemergian seorang lagi ikon beliau yang tercinta, Mr Amir Putra Mohd Said aka Apam. Tak tak, beliau masih hidup, cuma dah habis belajar je. Selepas 4 tahun bermastautin di bumi kangaroo ni, beliau akhirnya pulang ke tanah air tercinta, China Malaysia petang tadi. Seorang yang comel dan periang, beliau juga mendapat gelaran sebagai Panda Adelaide [jangan tanya aku kenapa]. Walaupun tidak menyandang apa² jawatan dalam GheySA™, kelab paling tersohor di Adelaide ini, beliau tetap popular di kalangan ahli² [lebih kurang macam maskot la]

Saat² akhir beliau di Adelaide :

Salam

1. Hari Isnin lepas, aku dapat call dari Manager PMP Distribution. Yang call aku tu makcik tua dan sampai hari ni aku tak ingat lagi nama dia ape. Dia tanya aku, berminat lagi ke tak nak jadi catalog deliverer. Lepas lebih sebulan aku apply, baru sekarang nak reply? Mula-mula aku blank kejap, sape plak ni. Pastu baru aku ingat dulu aku ada apply kerja ni. Aku pun kate ok lah, sebab sekarang ni pun memang dok makan tido je kt rumah ni [tapi badan maintain camni gak]

Dia kata boleh start terus hari tu, so aku dengan Kaisan pun pergi la supply centre die dekat² area Grand Junction Road untuk pick up catalog (Kaisan pun dapat gak kerja ni)

View Larger Map

Aku kena hantar catalog ke about 400 houses, Kaisan plak 800. Disebabkan aku kesian tgk dia nak kene buat sorang² 800 rumah tu, kitorang pun decide la untuk divide dua. Aku buat 600, dia buat 600. Ye la, nak angkat, asing, gulung dengan hantar lagi. Tak ke kesian tu? [well, sebenarnya jeles nanti die dapat duit lebih.ngaha]

Nak upload gambar kitorang susun² catalog tu, tapi takde card reader plak. Next time la kot. Spend the rest of Monday susun and gulung², Tuesday and Wednesday start deliver, jalan kaki rumah ke rumah. Kerja ni sangat time-consuming and the pay is..ok lah. No complaint. But you get to work on your own time and at the same time serve as a good exercise, memandangkan dah takde orang nak main bola kat Adelaide skarang ni. So all good!

Actually, this is my first steady part-time job. Dulu buat cherry picking, tapi tak lama due to few circumstances. So, excited la sikit². Tapi "Entering the world of adult" eh? jadi posmen katalog je pun. hahaha

2. Sedikit ngomelan pasal EPL last weekend. Man United back to winning ways, and hopefully they'll start getting the streak on. And it's good to see Mame Diouf scored in his home debut. Let's see if he can emulate his senior from Molde success, the O-legend Solksjaer. But seeing Chelsea thrashing Sunderland 7-2 is just..siot jugak.adoi

1. Few days ago, i found out about The Coca Cola Bottle Blast event, accidentally while browsing the web. So, i told the few faces left in Adelaide during this summer like Kaisan, Din, Munir and Asi about this [maybe i should give them a name, The Fellowship of The Summer perhaps ? ]

We went there this afternoon, except Munir because he joined Nazee and Bukh for a camping/fishing trip to Moonta. But from what i heard, they are already at home now due to weather problem, and 1 squid is all they've got [tulah, gatal sangat buat plan spontan. aku ajak pegi gleneld xnk.ngahaha]

Back to the Coke Fest, they had this huge castle-like balloon where you can play three different kind of games, Spring ‘n Bump, Trapeze Air and Jump ‘n Dunk for free. Too bad i didn't get the chance to try them because by the time we arrived there, the wind is pretty strong so they had to temporarily close it due to safety reason [after queuing for about half an hour, not too lucky eh].

Istana Takeshi?

setia beratur..tp x dapat main gak =(

They also serve free coke for the day, and there is also a booth for lucky draw. To enter, you simply have to bring the empty cans to the booth, get your hands marked, and there you go! See if you are lucky enough, and yes, me and Din are the lucky ones! Both of us got a t-shirt and that leaves Kaisan and Asi sulking in jealousy.

More pictures can be seen here

2. I managed to get myself a free working tv two days ago. Picked it up at a house next to Din's and the only problem with that tv is it's power cable was snapped.

So, i did some amateur winding job on the wire, used sellotape to replace the protector rubber and voila! Free tv in the house! Next, i bought a SD set top box on Ebay for AUD38 (murah ke mahal?) since Australia Govenrment will start the implementation of digital only broadcast somewhere in between 2010-2013.

3. Also, this kid kicks ass!

2010 AND BLOG

2010-01-15T04:02:00.001+10:30

Salam

1. Reading others' blogs and blog-hopping are few things i always do in my free time, but blogging was never one of them. Back in 2009, i had a journal for everyday stuff i did, but blogging is a different matter and i intended for this blog to be "me". Things i like, things i've done, my thoughts on issues and some witty stuff will be the content of this blog. Well, the main reason why i feel like blogging is the abundance of free time during this summer break [don't ask me why i'm not doing any part-time job].

Enough with the rant. Let's get serious!

2. It's already the middle of January now, and it's almost two months after my final exam ended [putting supp aside] which means there's only one and a half months of holiday remaining. During these past two months, i really did a lot of travelling. Had fun hunting cockles at Goolwa Beach two days ago, a refreshing trip to the magnificent-as-always Great Ocean Road (went to Naracoorte and Blue Lake, Mt. Gambier along the way), a camping trip to The Coorong National Park, crab raking at Port Parham, a little get away in Wallaroo and few more places. Filled with nothing but joy! oh, and a bunch of crabs and cockles too!

3. Enrollment session for Mechanical Engineering student was commenced on 8th January, and here are what my timetables look like. Not too pretty i'd say. But you can't expect much, being an engineering student, the chance to have 3,4 school days only per week is almost non-existent, unlike certain courses *cough architectureaccounting cough*

Semester 1 2010

Semester 2 2010

4. Just a token of gratitude, these past few days can be summed up to one word : Blissful!. Thanks to my bestfriend
