Haj: perjalanan diawalkan....

Aku balik je tgk game bola Brazil vs England aku dapat tahu, perjalanan haji diawalkan... asalnya 17hb jam 9pm, mlm semalam dpt berita 17hb jam 4pm... dan mlm td diberitahu 16hb jam 6pm... at first aku tak perasan tarikh... then br aku realise, it's tomorrow!!! yup... esok aku akan berangkat g haji...

Raya - Extended Issue...

(jap jap jap... nak kena cuci2 n sapu2 sawang kat blog ni... dah sebulan lebih tak betul2 update...)

aku nak cite pasal raya... although cite dah lama tapi sempena dah nak abis bulan syawal ni... dan aku pun dah alhamdulillah berjaya menghabiskan puasa enam semalam... so kiranya br lah betul2 raya...

Pre Raya...

aku balik ke ipoh 2 hari sebelum hari raya. seperti tahun lepas, tahun ni mak aku nak jugak buat lemang... dia cuma taruh pulut je dalam buluh... dan aku lah yg buat keje membakar... and seperti tahun lepas jugak, kitaorg joint venture ngan jiran sebelah... dia bakar lemang dia, aku bakar lemang family aku... cumanya guna satu tempat penghadang lemang n dia supply kayu api... yg elok nya buat lemang sendiri ni, kita blh make sure bab rasa, dan tahap masak lemang tu.. so tak lah hangus or tak masak langsung...

tahun ni, kitaorg semua beraya kat ipoh. plus ada sepupu aku pun nak beraya sama... so for my mom, byk la assistant dia kat dapur... n sehari sebelum raya dia pun start lah masak rendang dendeng, rendang ayam dan rendang kerang. rendang kerang ni tak pernah pun buat sebelum ni, tahun ni dia nak buat plak...

by asar semua siap, dan kitaorg menuju ke bidor. tahun ni, kitaorg sambut raya kat bidor, malam tu dah kumpul ramai2... buka puasa terakhir tahun ni kat bidor. dulu masa arwah opah aku ada, mmg tiap2 tahun raya kat situ. since arwah opah meninggal rasanya dah 56 tahun sudah, dah jarang beraya sana... ada lah sekali 2 pagi raya kumpul sana, tp sekejap je lah... mlm raya kali ni, 4 (drp 6) family adik beradik mak aku ada sama...

Raya day (s)....

The first raya as per last year (hmmm... tiap2 raya aku routine je), visit semua adik beradik my dad... so kitaorg g ke batu gajah dan taiping... kat taiping ada 2 rumah... bak kata mak aku... kita tak tahu sepanjang mana usia depa ni... semua nya kata my dad dah masa kecederaan... all dah above 70s... dah lah keje kat luar, raya lah masa nak visit sanak saudara... plus masa ni lah anak2 depa balik, so blh kenal sedara mara... tak lah nanti bertembung kat mana2 tetiba accident boleh bergaduh sakan... so kita kenal lah sedara...

anyway, nak start semula pasal first day raya. tahun ni kitaorg tangkap gambar dulu sebelum keluar berziarah.. pakai baju color last year je... malas membazir tempah baju baru, for men especially, baju melayu penuh ni pakai hari raya je.... rugi tempah byk2.... and for our family, berziarah ke kubur mmg tak pernah dibuat pada hari raya. but i can see the trend is coming. umah aku kat ipoh ni, tak sampai 400 meter dengan tanah wakaf, traffic teruk pagi raya tu, siap org bawak bunga lagi.... for my mom, hari raya is hari bergembira, buat pe nak visit kubur. and kalau nak berdoa pun, from home boleh.. niat saja nak sedekah... and kalau nak visit, hari lain pun boleh, kenapa perlu hari raya... anyway, sesapa yg pergi tu... must have their reasons...first destination batu gajah... ni umah abg my dad. tak ramai umah dia ni, cuma ada 2 anak dia je... dtg beraya sekadar berziarah n kenal sedara.. dah besar2 anak2 sepupu aku... siap ada dah nak kawin, in fact kawin hari ni... hahaha.... singgah dalam sejam dua pastu terus ke umah my dad's sis n bro kat taiping... yg ni lagi meriah... ramai cucu depa (anak my cousins) kat umah ni... n semua nya baru naik... riuh lah rumah...

so that's my raya... by then... jam 8-9pm tu dah balik umah... and kemas umah, sebab selalunya on the second day of raya, semua sepupu2 n sedara mara yg aku visit on first day akan buat lawatan balas.. yup indeed depa datang...

yup, raya kedua dan ketiga mmg duduk umah je... semua umah kitaorg visit tu, anak2 depa plak datang... busy di dapur. tahun ni my mom masak laksa dan mee sup apart from menu raya yg biasa. tp tu bg yg datang pagi dan tengah hari. kalau sesapa dtg malam, akan di jamu ngan nasi dan lauk mcm makan malam biasa. ye lah... masa 1-3 hari raya, selalu makan macam2... kita ni org melayu, nak gak makan nasi... and mmg bila jamu nasi n lauk ni, lagi cepat abis and lebih kenyang... hehehe.... aku tolong kemas2 je... bila balik malaysia aku tak masak.. :-)

my dad with his elder brothers... sorang lagi kakak dia tak de dlm gambar, sbb datang siang (gambar kat luar umah kat atas).

that's about it... that's my raya in Malaysia... visit family ngan relatives je... umah kengkawan pun aku tak berapa pergi. hahaha... the rest of the week aku kat ipoh, aku dok kat umah membesar kan perut!!! hahaahaha... makan makan makan... memang seminggu penuh aku kat ipoh... the last week tu aku balik kl... dok melepak kat kl je...

Post Raya (kat doha plak...)

the last time aku buat makan2 kat umah aku rasanya bulan puasa tahun sudah masa family abg aku visit doha.. that was the last... kengkawan sini dah kecoh2 dah... so dengan terpaksa rela aku pun buat makan2 raya kat umah aku.. the finale, sbb pas ni aku takkan buat makan2 kat sini dah... last weekend aku buat majlis ni.. dan menjemput dlm 40 adults and anak2 depa lah...

aku masak asam laksa/laksa penang dan rendang dendeng n ayam makan dengan ketupat palas dan nasi impit. rendang tok aku dah siap bawak dr ipoh and sbb aku takut tak cukup aku tempat nasi tomato... ooh mmg macam banyak je dlm menu... aku bukan nya masak sendiri.. thanks to my 3 good fren dlm gambar bawah ni yg rajin bertungkus lumus kat dapur tolong menghidang (ye, depa hidang potong n tambah lauk2 je... and buat air... masak depa tak buat...) best ada depa kat dapur, penuh dgn drama... bergambar pun nak drama ni...alhamdulillah depa kata sedap2 makanan yg terhidang... aku pun tak sure depa tu sekadar manis mulut or mmg sedap. janji laksa and rendang dendeng tu habis... hehehe... yg berbaki cuma nasi tomato ngan dalca yg aku sedekahkan kat guard/cleaner kat apartment aku... senang cite :-)

and hari semalam genap puasa enam aku... and lagi 3-4 hari abis lah syawal.... so this is my raya this year... insyaAllah bertemu sekali lagi Ramadhan dan Syawal tahun depan. InsyaAllah...

KBL: Puasa...

Nampak gayanya aku memulakan puasa tahun ni di Kabul... tp aku akan balik ke Doha esok, so tak sempat lah nak berbuka kat sini. (yeay!!! esok dah nak balik!!!)

talking abt puasa... again kat malaysia kenkadang bukan nya fikir bab menahan lapar dan dahaga... tp its all about food and bazaars... eat eat eat... so aku nak share some food that i took here... actually ramai tanya mcm mana mkn kat sini... bg aku ok je... sbb aku ni balun apa saja... hahaha.. local food, i don't really know their speciallity or cuisine, sbb tak berkesempatan nak g mana2 utk try (safety issue). but we had a chance utk rasa local food (perhaps) kat office, sbb lunch is provided kat office (nak keluar pun tak de tempat nak g, and again security issue)...

For local, as per kawan office cakap. they normally eat rice yg mixed ngan raisins then ada satu dish sayur and ada dish daging plus roti arab. tu je lah... very simple... tp mmg rice tiap2 hari mcm kita lah... cuma nasi depa byk2 color n byk2 gaya masak... tak lah nasi putih mcm kita tu...

and since guest house aku ni ada restaurant... and its a lebanese restaurant.. so mlm2 makan lebanese food lah.. sama je macam kat doha... so nothing special...

anyway... SELAMAT MENYAMBUT RAMADHAN!!! Ramadhan Kareeem... semoga Ramadhan kali ini lebih baik dr Ramadhan sebelum2 ni... dan aku minta maaf, atas segala salah dan silap... insyaAllah.... Selamat Berpuasa!!!

Off to Kabul...

Aku dah check in flight utk ke Dubai... transit kejap before my flight to Kabul pagi esok jam 6.30am (dubai time)...

FYI, ada 2 afghan airlines - Kam Air dan Ariana. Aku naik Kam Air.

so my next entry would be from Kabul... kalau blogger tak kena block... and internet connection elok...

wish me luck!!!

Michael Jackson dah meninggal???

What a shocking news... yup i was once a fan of him... in fact, i still think he was still good and can do a come back.. tp sbb byk kes itu ini... dia lagi famous for not popular matter... anyway, i love his songs.. many of them... especially from HiStory album, the first audio CD i bought with my own duit...

may he rest in peace... and kalau betul lah dia dah pernah masuk islam... semoga matinya dalam islam...

You are not alone - original video clip tak leh embedded plak...


She's out of my life...

Passport Malaysia...

Antara benda yg aku sangat berbangga ngan Malaysia masa aku kat oversea ni ialah pasal ke'laku'an passport kita kat mana2 negara pun mcm senang je nak masuk... except israel lah (melepas aku nak g keje kat jerusalem... camne ek nak masuk israel??? hmmm) so sbb kan laku nya passport malaysia, banyak lah passport ni kena ciplak, seludup etc... dan dgn visa pun dah makin senang nak dapat... makin ramai pendatang kat malaysia ni... ni berita kat utusan citer pasal visa... (visa malaysia senang nak dapat)

pagi semalam ada budak office aku dtg jumpa aku... org pakistan, dia citer pasal kawan dia org india cuba nak dpt passport Malaysia. Dia kata kawan dia tu blh and akan dpt passport malaysia in the next 5 months... dia cuma kena bayar RM15k to RM20k utk dapatkan passport Malaysia tu. What he needs is to give 8 pictures and a copy of his Indian Passport.

Proses dia mudah... lepas dia bagi gambar and copy passport tu.... dlm tempoh 5 bulan dia akan dipanggil utk interview and serahkan indian passport original dia. pas tu, passport malaysia akan diissue then indian passport dia akan diserahkan ke indian embassy utk dicancelkan... once passport malaysia diissue, dia kena serahkan RM15k to Rm20k tu pada agent dia tu...

kawan aku tanya aku, what do i think... legal ke tak benda ni... it sounds legal... sbb g interview semua and done by govt tak nampak mcm a fake passport yg kena issue. and tak de pun risk sbb duit cuma dibayar setelah dpt passport. aku cakap gak yg aku tak tahu process yg sebenar mcm mana nak dptkan passport, so aku tak leh nak komen byk... mungkin it is as simple as that.. but i really doubt so lah... my knowledge mmg sangat kurang on that but i know ppl yg dah bertahun minta passport tapi tak dapat2... and the fee tu mcm tak logic, mahal betul!!! aku rasa patutnya admin fee je yg tak lah sampai RM15k!!

kawan aku tu pun mcm tak berapa sure pasal procedure tu.. sbb mudah sgt... n nothing asked... not even qualification, profesional papers etc... dia takut benda ni tak jadi... aku cakap so long as tak kena byr up front... there's nothing to loose... aku rasa, in my own theory, could probably the agent will make the application as valid as possible, with all the infos yg mmg membuatkan mamat tu layak utk jd Malaysia passport holder, termasuk la buat sijil2 photocopy tiruan etc... hmmm.... agaknya lah..

then kawan aku tanya... is that money consider rasuah??? dia tanya aku... kat malaysia ni wujud ke rasuah??? and kalau rasuah, kenapa amount sikit sangat (Rm20k is nothing kalau kat doha ni) aku mcm tak tahu nak jawab... tak tahu mcm nak explain how chronic situasi rasuah kat malaysia... and guna org dlm punya issue... aku cuma mampu mengaku it happened but only on higher level (konon! kalau nak ikutkan hati nak je citer the level of rasuah kat malaysia, segan lah plak nak buka citer)... and aku mmg mengaku RM20k is a big money kat malaysia...

pretty embarassing moment, terpaksa mengaku betapa bobroknya sistem kat negara kita... kalau ada duit, kenal org... memang semua blh jadi kat malaysia... tp org2 yg dipertanggungjawab ni sanggup tu jual passport malaysia ni... dulu bila UK nak revise pelepasan visa kat Malaysian Passport holder... terkocoh2 lah kerajaan... tp org dalam still buat benda2 mcm ni... hmmm.....

kalau status passport malaysia jatuh, org yg kaki travel mcm aku ni, mmg lah affected... memalukan lah benda ni.... btw... kalau ada org2 government baca entry ni (mcm lah ada kan) jgn cari aku utk dapatkan maklumat... cek your own ppl...!!! depa lebih tahu...

Be strong...

I know u won't read this blog... not today... not tomorrow... maybe not for the next few weeks... but anyway, i've heard the news.. takziah... am saddened with the news....

Tipu if i say i totally understand how u feel at this time... because it never happened to me (not yet) but i know, it is a really big news... mmg susah nak menghadapi, but we really need to face it... mmg dah tersurat... and that's how life is...

I really hope you are strong... even if you may not be able to face it boldly... but u need to be strong and calm... ada org lain yg perlukan ur +ve energy to face this... i believed u can do it...

My doa semoga rohnya dicucuri rahmat dan diletakkan dikalangan orang2 yg soleh... Al Fatihah..

p/s - still remember the last time we chat i.e. last thursday.... we talk abt him...

DOH - NBO...

I'll be flying to Nairobi, Kenya today... kena g sana utk keje... and insyaAllah a month kat sana... will be back on 9 May 09...

when aku citer about going to Nairobi... few common question akan ditanya oleh org-org... and based on my opinion aku jawab seperti dibawah...

1. Selamat ke kat sana???... i do not know... but biggest violence was at the end 2007, sekarang should be ok.

2. Senang tak nak makan nanti??? Ramai muslim???... based on internet ada 10% muslim tp maybe ramai org muslim somalia yg lari ke sana... ada muslim ada lah halal food... surely boleh bedal je

3. How's the weather kat sana???... currently hujan but a bit hot during day time...

4. Apa best kat sana???... i think the safari, but i don't think i have enough time to do one

5. Mcm mana org kat sana???... i don't know...

so... give me 27 days to vouch my answers above... mungkin jawapan aku akan berubah by then... and i can give a better answer...

i really hope, bila balik nanti i will meet all the expectations of bosses kat sini... nervous gak ni... hehehe

Anticipating a tough 2 weeks...

hehehe... ada 2 minggu lagi sebelum aku balik Malaysia... hooray!!! tiket dah beli...

tp tadi aku ada baca satu email dr big boss aku yg aku tak expect from him... no.. no.. no.. it's not about retrenchment... but it is about future... yup... the future of my career...

I am anticipating loads of discussions and tough decisions would be made in the next 2 weeks... and i'm hoping everything would be settled and in place before boarding the flight to KUL...

But definitely I won't be long here... InsyaAllah...

Slum-fog

- ini lah benda2 aku buat last weekend... -


*khamis mlm jumaat*
Mesti ada antara korang dah tengok citer slum-dog-million-aire tu.. yg menang anugerah golden globe dan dapat pencalonan 10 ocsar. aku dah tgk 2 kali, in fact i've read the book. very simple story, tp kalau citer tu berbackground kan malaysia, mesti kena haramkan... mesti kerajaan malaysia tak sanggup tunjuk benda sebenar... mesti tak sanggup mengaku itu mmg sememangnya berlaku.

kat doha ni mmg byk rakyat dr india... ada gak antara mereka (yg aku kenal n sembang) kata apa yg ditunjukkan kat citer tu agak melampau... tak wujud benda2 tu... tp kan for me, since ramai org india kat negara qatar, kenkadang aku rasa blh je relate citer tu ngan life kat sini, especially masa org2 ni tgk tv ramai2... serius it happened here... kalau kedai tv tu... ramai2 tgk dr luar...

go watch this movie... really entertaining... relax... and plus... soundtrack dia best...



*jumaat pagi*
since cuaca dah best... cooling... kitaorg pun plan for picnic kat corniche... dah lama tak buat... and mcm minggu sebelumnya, minggu lepas kitaorang berpicnic kat corniche lagi... and mmg sejuk. awal2 pagi tu around 8am, kabus tebal menutupi seluruh doha...


loads of food... cadangnya nak main bola lah... tp sbb masing2 dah tua.... baru 5 minit dah pancit.. hik hik hik...

*sabtu tghari*
abe dan che le ajak main boling... the last time aku main boling masa sebelum bulan puasa rasanya... so almost 4 bulan tak main... but to my surprise.. i hit my highest point in my life... 207!!!! plus... i played quite consistent... 8 games dgn average 173 :-) tp since che le tu mmg expert dia still lah juara... lagipun dah pakai bola dia.. kena lah bg dia menang... hahahaha.... :-) (tp dia mmg handal pun...) - bila lah aku nak beli bola


** oops.... update... td main boling lagi... still ngan abe n che le... both of them mmg expert... siap join tournament.. penuh skill, sorang spinner, sorang main bola curve (apa term nya utk org main cam ni?)... tp aku ni main str8 ball je.. hayun je.... hahaha.. but still i beat them both.... for the 10-frames game... i hit an average of 165, abe 164... che le 162.. hahaha.. (sekali sekala merasa menang) but abe get the highest score... 200++ anyway, good luck for them for the doubles game... kalau nak kawan utk sparring dan menyibuk, sms ok!!!


Lastly... Selamat Menyambut Ulangtahun ke 25 Pemerintahan DYMM Sultan Azlan Shah, Sultan Perak (I believed u all will agree with me, he is the best Sultan among all kat Malaysia... ok, the close fight ngan current agong jugak lah kot)

another clip from slum-dog..

Apa yg boleh aku bantu??? :-(

Hari tu ada org email aku link kat Mt.M2day blog pasal org pas ajak berdemo depan US embassy.... and these are some of the reply... (read the whole entry here)

PAS, jangan buat kacau. Ini negara Malaysia yang berdaulat dan mempunyai undang-undang. Siapa yang salah bila Hamas serang Israel masa Hari Natal, dia yang tahu. Peluru dan bom itu buta. Siapa tak sedih bila ramai yang maut. Saya harap pihak polis, FRU dan mana-mana pihak berkuasa akan ambil tindakan terhadap mereka yang buat kacau lagi di Kedutaan Amerika. Kalau nak protes, pergi Kedutaan Israel di Singapura. Jangan cuba pula heret negara dalam sengketa ini.

Mangkok PAS and UMNO-Babies can go and protest for all I care. I don't care if you show bloodies babies, old people and citizen in blood. Have these Mangkok PAS-UMNO Malays do the same protest on suicide bombers in Afgan, Pakistan, Iraq, Genocide in Somalia?? Obviously not...so we may vote PAS in K.Trengganu but Over our dead bosy we support your blind condemnation of Isreal. Isreal Attack after more than 12 months of rocket attack from Hamas across the border like from Nasralla Lebonon a year ago. What would Malaysia do if Singapore launch repeated rocket attack to Malaysia?? Should Malaysia urge UN and Singapore to show restrain. Yet this Bi-Polar Religion Ideology of Islam in so many of these converts countries cannot see that Isreal is using the Malaysia ISA concept to impose Peace ala attack on Hamas. If ISA ok in Malaysia, it should mean Isreal have the RIGHT to attack Terrorist Hamas.

Most Malaysians only can see ISLAM-Lands in the Israel-Palestine issues. I don't understand why majority Malaysians cannot see the whole issues happened between Israel-Palestine. Serbia and Bosnia is also another issue out of Islam context. It is politic and not religion issue. PAS-UMNO sering guna agama untuk kepentingan agenda politic mereka. Padan muka Hamas. Hamas seprti Philippines yang masih menuntut haknya ke atas tanah Sabah. What to do? Spain and British punya deal. Israel? Ini kerja British dan America sewaktu menjadi penjajah di tanah Arab. Padan muka HAMAS. Kalau tiada kerja lain, Hamas akan membunuh Al-Fatah. Memang susah diatur.

bila depa pertikaikan roket Hamas (yg setakat ni bunuh 4 org) berbanding serangan Israel (yg now dah menyebabkan 430++ kematian)... aku jadi geram... hmm...

in different situation... kalau lah ada sorang mamat A, kutuk n maki giler2 B... sampai B sakit hati teramat sangat... dan B ambil pisau dia tikam A sampai cedera parah or terus mati... would we say A mmg salah dia lah... sapa suruh dia kutuk2 n maki2 dulu.. dia yg salah lah.. B cuma membalas je... n demi jaga hati dia... dia terpaksa lah buat mcm tu... B mana salah... and kita tak perlu hukum B apa2... dia mmg betul, dia bertindak sbb dia sakit hati... and A wajar dibunuh... valid argument?

sekarang ni, dah beribu-ribu tentera israel dgn kereta kebal bersedia kat sempadan israel semenanjung gaza... at anytime akan berlaku pencerobohan dan serangan darat... yg akan berlaku lebih kematian dan kemusnahan...

kalau aku nak cerita penderitaan org palestine ni, panjang citer... banyak sejarah... banyak yg kita tak faham... kita tak tahu... tp yg aku tahu aku sedih... tambah sedih sbb aku tak tahu mcm mana nak bantu... takkan sekadar mengutuk dan berdoa je yg mampu kita buat? hmmm...

(gambar aljazeera)

New Year (2)...

on the way balik dr office td, dlm perjalanan ke pintu keluar office, sambil turun tangga aku sembang ngan sorang mamat org putih ni, he's british, age dlm late 40's kot dan dia belum jadi muslim. aku tanya dia... so what's ur plan for new year?

dia jawab... dia tak sure... dia ada dapat invitation for party, but he doesn't feel like going... dengan apa terjadi kat gaza sekarang... dia tak rasa dia patut enjoy the celebration and go partying...

he asked plan aku... aku cakap aku mmg tak de plan n tak pernah ada apa2 plan pun utk new year... new year is like any other day of the year...

then... kita org pun berpisah... aku terus menuju ke pintu keluar then dia plak g ke edit suite.

2 things ada dalam kepala aku masa aku menuju ke kereta...

1. sejauh mana effect pada diri aku bila mana ada muslim lain kena oppress... kena bunuh... kena tindas... dekat negara lain... kenapa tak ada banyak rasa benci kat dalam diri aku... kenapa kurang sungguh aku rasa sedih atas apa berlaku... mcm tak de apa2 pun berlaku... and for certain people sejauh mana kita tahu pun apa yg berlaku kat gaza tu... and kalau lah berdebat dgn bukan islam n katanya gaza patut kena serang sbb dia lancarkan roket dulu, mampu tak ilmu kat dlm otak nak pertahan kan bahawa gaza mmg tak patut kena serang... pertahankan hak muslim di gaza? atau mmg tak tahu apa2 langsung pasal perang ni, and tak perlu ambil tahu.

2. aku jugak terfikir, kenapa kita kena tunggu new year utk buat resolusi... kenapa kena tunggu new year br nak berubah... bukan ke new year sekadar tukar tarikh calendar... it's just another day in ur life... kalau nak berubah kepada kebaikan... at any time berubah je lah... kenapa iltizam dan tekad tu taruh lepas new year... kalau tak sempat new year.. tinggal niat je lah...

so apa resolusi new year aku??? hmm... there's no specific for this year... and kalau aku terfikir nak buat benda baik or benda baru... aku buat je... tanpa menunggu tahun baru... insyaAllah...

New Year....

selamat tahun baru hijri and miladi...

am now tgh muhasabah diri... what have i done for the past one year... and what i should do for next year...

insyaAllah...

Happy 30th birthday to myself..

Actually this year birthday's wish came early for me... ye lah.. since am in DC, the wishes ni kind of dtg 1/2 day earlier... sbb by the time 12am on 28 Oct kat Malaysia , kat DC ni baru je jam 12 tghhari ... :-) (kiasu!)

therefore... masa aku tulis email ni, aku still ada 5 more hours to enjoy my life while am still at my 20s... (ok end, the very end, the last end of my twenties... hehehe)

so here i am, joining org2 berumur 30 tahun... hahaha... wow I am an old man already... hehehe... (julia roberts dah 41 hari ni, lagi tua kan...)

so happy birthday to myself...

p/s - am going out for my birthday dinner... sorang2 kat cold DC...
p/s 2 - update... i went out... tot of goin to this one place... keluar2 metro... area tu gelap n takde org pun, although kedai tu i think a block away, but me dont dare to walk alone there... so masuk balik ke dalam metro n balik hotel... hahaaha... end up makan sandwich subway... asyik makan tu je since sampai sini.... teruk lah dc ni, lepas jam 8 je gelap...

thanks for the wishes my frens... :-) (utk sapa2 yg ingat lah... hehehe)

Ulangtahun Blog...

Dah 2 tahun blog ni wujud...

Dah hampir 2 tahun lah aku kat doha ni...

awalnya blog ni wujud cuma nak menceritakan kehidupan aku kat my close family member and old frens kat malaysia...

but in turn... blog ni telah menemukan aku ngan few new friends... yg now become some of my best friends... dan ada yg bakal jadi my friends...

awalnya blog ni ditulis utk aku meluahkan ke tidak puas hatian aku pada keadaan, tempat, orang-orang sekeliling aku...

tp nak jadi cerita, kawan-kawan aku kat doha pun dah terjumpa blog ni.... so tak leh lah nak kutuk padat-padat punya... (kena buka blog lain lah kot hahahaha)...

at the same time i believed ada gak org aku tak kenal yg baca blog ni... yg a total stranger who knows me by hard dah since selalu baca blog ni (ada ke? ke aku je perasan?)....

nama pun blog ni blog perantau... setakat ni baru doha je dia merantau... i wish on its 3rd year annivesary blog ni dah merantau n bermastautin kat negara lain plak (hehehe.. dah birtday, kena lah ada wish kan). pada kawan-kawan yg baca blog ni, tolong carikan tempat utk zal ni merantau ye... dia dah segan dah called himself perantau... sbb baru 1 negara je dia pergi ni...

and i wish (harap-harap la) in my 3rd year ni ada satu event besar in my life happening yg mmg blogable... :-) if u know it, apa2 event yg wajib lah... doakan yer.. oh.... nak recommend ke? email kat zals.blogspot.com

lastly... kalau ada salah silap for the past 2 years... sejak wujud nya blog ni... minta ampun dan maaf... (since all in writing, let me know apa salah nya, so i can delete that entry, tp kalau salah grammar, mmg disengajakan)

insyaAllah...

Bye bye Aizal :-(

I do not know whether to accept the news of Aiyeen family leaving us as a bad or a good news... being selfish... i take it as a bad news (kurang kawan... tak de port... etc etc etc) but being a good fren... i'm really happy for the opportunity in front of them...

setelah menunggu beberapa minggu, both of them dah dapat permit keje utk menyambung keje kat L0nd0n... good for them (jeles gak)... tp bukan lah depa dapat g terus, sbb now nak kena uruskan visa lah plak... hmmm.... birokrasi... in a month time.. most probably depa akan tinggalkan doha ter'cinta' ni.

anyway, since dah dapat berita gembira tu... dan dalam usaha untuk memulakan clearkan umah, aiyeen family (including parents aizal) menjemput kitaorg makan2... (as the last makan2 at their place) its a small gathering with simple but extremely delicious laksa johor n nasi beriani cooked by aizal's mom... so delicious until aku makan 2 mangkuk laksa and 2 pinggan nasi beriani (hmmm.. that was my only meal for the day ok)

to aiyeen family... the very best of luck... semoga tercapai semua impian n cita-cita... agak2 bosan kat london tu... cari-carikan lah keje utk aku jugak ye... :-) we'll be missing you... definitely.

Makan2 S'pore style...

I was lucky sebab member seofis aku dari s'pore ni rajin benar ajak aku join her s'pore group makan2... banyak kali dah aku tolak... tp at last, jumaat lepas, i agree to join them... it's again another makan2 lah... macam lah beza sangat ngan makan2 ngan member2 aku m'sian tu... cuma segan skit (hahahaahaha!!!)

it's a lunch gathering to wish good bye to one of frens yg nak balik s'pore for good. and i contribute my green curry chicken and ayam pandan which received plenty of praises :-) hehehehe (bangga diri ni). but thats not significant enough... among the members of the group are few air crew... and what they brought for the lunch was really good... ada century eggs, rojak buah with fresh star fruit & jambu batu... and cencaluk!!! actually both cencaluk n century eggs tu tak lah selalu aku makan pun... but still... yummy...

after the makan2 we went for coffee at bateel, salwa road. rupanya depa craving for lime mint yg tetiba mesin rosak plak... and at the same time, tetiba ada surprise birthday celebration... its for agnes yg nak balik for good to delivery her baby, punya birthday... so kiranya 2 celebration (farewell and birthday) for agnes in a day. anyway, i really enjoy the gathering... nanti blh lah join depa lagi :-) (kalau dijemput lah)


to agnes (although i know you wont be reading this blog) selamat melahirkan cahaya mata dan semoga panjang umur dan murah rezeki :-)

And another sad story...

mlm smlm aku tertinggal hp M'sia aku kat umah, and i received a missed from one of my good fren, jarang dia call aku, thought of calling him again kat office nanti (hehehe... from my office i can call anywhere in the world :-)) then pepagi tadi, i received an sms from another good fren and also a message in my FB:

Din passed away...
From what I can gather, he was in a training session with his team when he suddenly collapse on the field last night. The guys said his whole body shook though his leg remained stiff. His condition didn't improve when they carried him into the ambulance and before long, he left us.

Just like that. I do not know the full length of the story yet, but some of us will be gathering at the HKL Emergency Ward about 10am tomorrow to join the convoy to send Che Din's body back to Johore. He will be greatly missed.

Sedekahkan al-Fatihah kepada arwah.

Innalillah hiwainna illahi raaji'uun...

he's one of my good fren in KL. he's only 28 if i'm not mistaken... as in my previous post, at anytime, bila2 je ajal blh datang... sekelip mata... it is certainly a shock news for us...

have you prepared yourself for that? i am certainly not :-( kena lebih bersedia ni... Alfatihah to Che Din... semoga roh nya dicucuri Rahmat...
