Hey!!! Itu aku...

A little update about me... after some time!

This is what I looked like these past few days.

Halo kengkawan ku sekelian. Maaf lah sebab aku tak dapat buat entry yang panjang-panjang. Aku memang tengah busy dok settle down with my new workplace and surroundings. It takes time to get used to the things that I am doing right now. As I've mentioned before, this is totally new for me. Eventhough it is still in the insurance industry, but moving from the Conventional part to the Islamic part was the hardest. Semuanya nak kena tukar.

Okay, aku kasi korang lesson on insurance sikit ye! Conventional is the normal or the one that you heard macam MNI, MAA, KURNIA, COMMERCE ASSURANCE, UNI ASIA, ALLIANZ, AVIVA (In case you have never heard of these names before, these are all insurance company). Mustahil korang tak tau kan? Alah, kenderaan yang korang lenjan hari-hari tu mesti ada insurance punya la! Kalau tak, mana nak dapat road tax and sah sah la korang kena saman dengan pak polisi yang pakai tak SAYA ANTI RASUAH tu (Geli bijik mata aku tengok kalau diorang pakai benda tu. Please lah!)

Anyway, what I meant by Islamic is like TAKAFUL. Alah, you know.. the Islamic-Islamic thing. Well, it's kind of the same actually. The only thing that is different is the terms used. Right now, syarikat takaful ada macam TAKAFUL NASIONAL, TAKAFUL IKHLAS, MAA TAKAFUL, PRUDENTIAL BSN TAKAFUL & COMMERCE TAKAFUL. It's new in the country but it's fast growing. Sebagai bukti? Aku kitorang memang tak menang tangan dengan kerja sekarang ni. Kenapa it's fast growing? Well, knowing a typical layman, kalau dengar aje nama insurance, maunye kena mark penipu la, makan duit la, pembohong la... This is based from my own experience yang kena depan-depan mata bila kitorang buat road tour kat Melaka. (Malu aku as orang Melaka!!). Mentaliti kebanyakan lower-end people ni masih sempit lagi pasal benda-benda macam ni. Macam dah jadi Taboo pulak isu insurance ni.

Nak aje aku cakap dengan abg tu, "Bang, macam mana kalau rumah abg terbakar sampai jadi abu, ataupun kereta abg tu accident kena hempap dengan lori bulldozer ataupun isteri abg sendiri mati accident sampai terburai kepala otak and sampai nampak intestine-intestine dia?Tak pun abg sendiri yang mati katak? Siapa yang nak bagi ganti rugi? macam mana isteri abg nak hidup dengan anak yang ramai macam tangga batu cave tu? Syarikat insurans tau tak!" Ape? Abg ingat saving account abg kat Maybank ke.. CIMB ke... ataupun duit derma kilat tu cukup ke nak menampung hidup abg sekeluarga? Setakat khairat kematian kat kawasan taman abg tu tak cukup la bang!

Kasar tak? Bukannya kasar, tapi pada sesetengah orang, being blunt and straight to the point is the only resolution. Tapi kalau dengar nama TAKAFUL,, percaya saya. Alah, memang lah! It's based on the Mudharabah concept. Kalau aku pun, aku boleh percaya dekat benda-benda macam ni. Asalkan ada nama-nama Islamik kan? Tapi sekarang bukan boleh percaya. Tabung Haji punya orang atasan pun pernah kapor duit. So, where is the dignity and integrity of those kind of Islamic Institution?

Apa punya bengong daaa!!!!

Korang nak tau macam mana aku punya stress kerja? Dah lah tak dapat buat entry untuk blog tersayang. balik pun pukul 10 atau 11 malam baru sampai rumah. Anyway, macam ni...Aku tengok dok cari gambar untuk STRESS kat Yahoo! Aku pun dengan laju dan hebatnya taip lah perkataan tu without even looking at the screen and keyboard. Cheeewahhh!! Macam terer sangat ye!

Korang nak tau apa yang keluar kat Internet Explorer aku?

Aku check-check balik... rupanya. aku gi taip perkataan STREES kat Search Box dia tu. Ya Allah! Hampeh tak hampeh nye aku ni! Aku gelak sengsorang bila mengenangkan kebengongan aku ni.

Ironboard, I am still waiting for that freaking Chilli's la brader! Anyway, thanks for the entry about me. Tak sempat nak reply apa-apa lagik.

Zack, thanks very much for the concern. Still keeping-in-touching ni beb!

Edd & Rewan, you still owe me the tag entry. Post cepat, Darn it! hahahahah......

Kak Aduni, if you are reading this, sorry la.. didn't have time to call you la... anyway, you can get my contact no and email from IronBoard.

I think, thats all for now. Weekend ni pun ada banyak kerja yang nak disettlekan.

Adieu!

p/s : FYI, aku still in the office doing my work when I am in the midst of typing this entry.

Coming to an end and a new beginning.

Entri kali ni adalah entri paling mellow dalam berpuluh entri yang aku pernah buat. Aku ada mention dalam blog aku yang aku hampir berjaya nak dapatkan apa yang aku inginkan for some time. Well, it's nothing much but it's very important for me. I decided to expand my horizon and take on new challenges in my career. Dalam erti kata yang lain, aku akan berhenti kerja sebab aku dah dapat kerja lain.

Before I continue, ini adalah kronologi-kronologi fasa kerja aku kat company aku ni.

18.09.2000 Aku kena interview dengan ex-boss aku. Terus aku diterima kerja without hesitation. Aku gembira giler sebab dapat kerja selepas aku kena tendang keluar dari UPM. At least aku takde jadi pemetik gitar anggur dan menghabiskan duit mak bapak aku aje.

01.07.2003 Company aku merge dengan another insurance company. Bermulalah era kegelapan dan kemudian renaissance and zaman industri kat dalam entity baru ni.

01.11.2003 Aku start pursue my studies. Aku ambik course yang related to my work. Lagipun it's in house, so senang sikit nak pergi ke kelas.

01.01.2005 Aku dinaikkan pangkat ke Assistant Supervisor. Yang paling best, ex-boss aku tu yang sangat kuku besi and dictator macam Hitler yang bagi aku peluang. Sampai sekarang I owe my gratitude to him.

31.04.2005 Alhamdulillah! Aku berjaya habiskan my studies.

01.01.2006 Alhamdulillah! Promotion lagik! Thank you Judy!

15.02.2007 Aku hantar surat tender.

28.02.2007 My last day of service in the company.

01.03.2007 A new chapter in my life.

Kalau aku nak coretkan semua sekali, aku rasa mau sampai berpuluh page. Cukup lah peristiwa dan tarikh-tarikh penting dalam kerja aku.

It has been a fuckingly great and tremendously adventurous 6 years, 5 months & 10 days for me in this company. Now, I am going to leave a place where I've crawled, walked, stomped, stumbled, run, fall, rise back again. Aku dah tengok the ups and downs of this place. Daripada sebelum merger with just 20 staffs, the department grew with over 70 staffs. Everything lah, I tell you!

Why the hoo hoo and haa haa over me leaving this company? Masalahnya, memang susah nak tinggalkan tempat ni. This is my first job, this is my kindergarten, this is my primary school, this is my secondary school, this is my high school, this is my college and this is my university. But this is not my resting ground. Itu lah, cinta pertama memang susah dilupakan.

I started working as a clerk. Kerani cabuk aje beb! Tapi alhamdulillah, aku berjaya naik sikit demi sikit to be where I am today. Not that I want to brag much about it tapi ini adalah my personal victory. From a sore looser to someone who I am proud to be. Mungkin aku bukan engineer, architect ataupun accountant, tapi it's good enough for me. Macam yang aku cakapkan tadi, it's my personal victory.

Apa-apa pun, kata orang, routines are very hard to break. Memang betul pun. Lepas ni, it's going to be a different ritual all together. No more breakfast at lotus, lunch at Bawah Pokok, tea at lotus again, carrom & ping pong at the sports club. No more jokes and wild craziness, no more budak-budak tu bawak bekal ramai-ramai and pot luck, no more pantry with my friends. No More Drama lah. Hahahaha.. macam tajuk lagu Mary J Blige lah.

I don't know how things are going to be like over there. Frankly speaking, I am scared actually, because I don't know what to expect over there. I don't know how the people are going to be. I don't know what the environment is going to be like. Tapi macam dalam buku Who Moved My Cheese, I need to move out of Cheese Station A in order to find new cheese. I'll never know if I don't try. But it is time for me to come out of my shell of comfort zone and venture into new horizon.

Masa aku menaip entry ni, it's with a mix feeling. Sad because I am going to leave my brothers and sisters, friends and foes, buddies and enemies, leaving behind what I treasured the most. Happy because I am going to pursue for a better future and something new in life. Hahahah dah macam The Pursuit to Happyness lah pulak! Happy sebab aku takkan jumpa lagi boss-boss aku yang mangkuk hayun tu!

My classmates - Fazri, John, Kak Yan, Azura, Haikal, Yikfung (Yang lain dah berambus dah pun!)

My the tarik crew - Aiza, Zam, Carlos, Haizal, Abg Joenett, Abg Shariff, Haziman, Salleh, Daud, Hafiz, Din.

My counterpart and compadre - Amir @ Ironboard, Watie, Yan, Sue, Ariff, Ida, Zack, Farid, Kak Hawiyah, dan ramai lagi.

If the relationship, the friendship is strong and tough enough, then nothing will ever break the chain and cycle easily. I know for a fact that you guys have colored my life and shape me to what I am today.

My dear friends, I am not bidding goodbye! I am just saying SEE YOU AGAIN. I am going for higher grounds in my career and with this, I THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR EVERYTHING.

Adieu

Peace out!

P/s : IB, you still owe me Chilli's! Jangan lupa beb!

Tired...

My uncle passed away yesterday in Hospital Besut due to some complications and me and my parents went there straight yesterday.It's been a tiring 2 days for me. Travelling going and back to Jertih for almost 7 hours trip in 2 days is really tiring for me. I am going to post more about it later, insya allah!

Al-Fatihah to my arwah uncle...

Eat Healthy, Live Healthy

One of my close friend, Fazri who was admitted to Hospital Tawakal Tuesday last week due to hypertension dah pun di-discharged kan last Monday. He was also suspected dengan heart problem. Ikut cerita wife dia, dia macam dah nak pitam the day before he was admitted and tulang belikat dia pulak dah sakit. So, disebabkan dia dah tak tahan, his wife took him to the hospital and immediately after that, he was admitted.

Yang membuatkan aku terkejut tu, sebab as far as I am concern, mamat ni sikit lah punya sihat. Main ping-pong tiap-tiap petang, he eats balance food (I think), he plays football and futsal. The only thing is that, he smokes a lot. Yep, dia memang avid smoker. Dan tu jugak yang aku risaukan tu, aku pun merokok kuat jugak. Ada lah dalam a box of 20 tu. Well, I consider that banyak lah kot.

Okay, ni aku nak bagi sikit biology lesson dekat korang. Korang tau tak, for a normal men, tekanan darah yang normal adalah Diastolic tak melebihi 87 (Diastolic < 87) and Systolic tak melebihi 137 (Systolic < 137). Dari apa yang dia cakap pada aku, Systolic dia dah melebihi 200. I told him! Shit! Serius ke beb!

Anyway, mula-mula tu, dia kena buat test ECG. Lepas tu, he underwent angiogram test at Ampang Puteri to see whether he has some heart problem. He also went for an endoscopic test after that. Tapi alhamdulillah, masa aku gi lawat dia kat Ampang Puteri tu, he is not in any kind of danger of heart diseases. Yelah, risau jugak aku sebab before this, arwah bapak dia memang kena stroke sebelum ni pun. So, penyakit macam ni, kalau dah ada dalam family, chances that one of the child kena pun besar jugak.

This is surely good news. Alhamdulillah! Tapi yang bestnya, MC dia dah diextendkan seminggu lagi and he has to come back to the hospital untuk follow-up. Lama tu beb! Lepas follow-up to, sah sah la MC dia akan diextendkan lagi dalam 3, 4 hari. Heheh

Aku pun pelik macam mana dia boleh didiagnosed kan dengan penyakit macam tu. Darah tinggi? Takkan dia makan lembu sampai seekor kot? Sampaikan tekanan darah dia boleh naik tinggi macam tu sekali? Is it because of the peer pressure of work? Or is it because of external factors? I mean, memang kerja dia berlambak pun. Mula-mula tu, arwah bapak dia meninggal pada 31 Disember 2006, pada 11.30 pagi Hari Raya Korban. Tambahan pulak last Thursday, masa dia tengah dok main futsal kat Seksyen 14 PJ, his wife met an accident while she was driving his car going back home.

Not to insinuate, tapi kita tak tau lah kan? Selain dari kesihatan, kadang-kadang benda macam ni pun boleh mempengaruhi jugak kan? Depan kita dia boleh lah hoo hoo haa haa, tapi deep inside, we don't know what is he thinking right?

Yang bestnya tu, dalam sakit-sakit dia tu, boleh lagi dok mengurat nurse-nurse kat Tawakal tu. According to him, misi-misi kat Tawakal tu semuanya muda-muda dan comel-comel belaka. Kawan-kawan aku yang pergi melawat dia pun kata benda yang sama jugak. Hahaha padahal bini ada kat sebelah tu. So, pada korang kat luar tu yang teringin nak masuk hospital, aku highly recoomend Hospital Tawakal sebab nursenya yang muda-muda dan comel-comel blako.

Apa-apa pun, risau jugak aku! Aku ni pun boleh diconsiderkan heavy smoker jugak. Makan pun jenis yang bantai semua yang ada and I rarely work out. Lepas ni, kenalah berjaga-jaga and amalkan cara hidup seimbang. Blah!

I am passing a message from Ironboard. Kalau pada sesiapa yang rindu dengan blog dia, tunggu dan sabar aje. Kalau ada yang gilakan Babes of the Week dia tu, nanti-nanti dia akan posting lagik. (Itu lah ayat IB yang perasan famous!hahahah... just kiddin' dude)

Apa-apapun, Lets pray for Alisya and HER mother'swell being and hope that she get well soon. Insya Allah.

Goodbye 2006. Ola 2007!

One year has already passed by. Dalam setahun ni, macam-macam benda dah jadi dan macam macam benda yang still aku belum dapat capai lagi. But I can say that about 80% of what I aimed dah tercapai. Alhamdulillah. I am blessed by god for a great year. Ada juga yang belum tercapai. But never despair, itu memang memerlukan masa yang panjang. That's why I never have any new year resolution. For what? Kalau kita tak boleh nak capai benda tu? Lagi baik kalau kita set our goal on something and work for it. No time limit given. Insya allah.

Utk movie fans , music fans, stalkers, seekers, online-sexers, lovers, haters, chauvinist, intollerable pranksters, dreamers, and most important of all, my muslim friends and fellow bloggers,

I wanna wish all of you

SELAMAT HARI RAYA AIDILADHA

and,

HAPPY NEW YEAR! HO! HO! HO!

Hope to see a great new year in 2007 and may a great year be for the movie fans out there. Great things will happen and insya allah, may we all be blessed with a better and longer life. Full with excitement. Insya allah!

p/s : Al-fatihah untuk Saddam Hussein yang digantung right on Aidiladha this year.

Connection Error!

Seperti yang dinyatakan dalam blog IronBoard, company aku telah mengstopkan penggunaan internet kepada staff-staffnya . Adoi! Shitz man! Tension giler beb! Hilanglah kemeriahan bekerja and the sole purpose of me coming to work everyday for 5 days a week. (besides getting my salary hujung bulan lah)

Sedih tu memang lah sedih giler beb. Susah lah nak blog from the office, baca blog kengkawan, download tones of stuff, berYM dengan kengawan, check friendster and myspace dan macam-macam benda yang melibatkan internet ni lah. Tension giler beb! Tension up to the point sampai company punya intranet pun aku gi surf lah! (Intranet tu memang doesn't contain anything interesting at all.) Paranoid aku dibuatnya macam ni!Alah, yang kitorang ada ni pun sebenarnya illegal punya excess. In other words, underground!

Dah ada kawan baik yang kerja dekat IT department, diorang bagi kitorang bypass dengan proxy address yang membolehkan kitorang dapat a full Internet access. Kalau nak dikirakan dengan orang yang dapat legal access, kitorang ni lagi beruntung sebab diorang tak enjoy all the benefits. Ada site yang diorang tak boleh browse sebab telah diblockkan. Tak macam kitorang ni, semua site kitorang balun. Porn, entertainment, news, movies, music, local, international, pendek kata semuanya lah. Hu Hu! Memang enjoy giler lah.

Macam yang aku cakap tadi lah, kitorang punya access ni illegal. So, memang kena bersedialah dengan benda macam ni. Nak buat macam mana kan? Benda haram ni memang sentiasa panas beb! Mana boleh tahan lama-lama sangat.Tapi kalau nak diikutkan pattern macam yang sudah-sudah tu, benda won't be for long. Top is just maybe for 2 or 3 weeks aje. Tak tau lah kali ni berapa lama kan? (We'll, I am keeping my fingers cross for this!). Harap-harap kali ni takde lah lama sangat kot!

Here's my top 10 reasons why the company decided to be lean and mean on Internet usage.

1. Over excessive usage of Internet during office hours. I do mean over excessive. Our working hours is 9 hours including 1-hour lunch. So, after doing our own math, we discovered that we worked only for almost an hour whereas we spent the rest of the time surfing the Internet.

2. Maddox's PC alone was infected with more than 3000 spyware and bots. How did I find out? Well, that's the advantages of having a good friend working in the IT department. Masa diorang dok audit my pc and in the cleaning-up process, time tu lah segala detail pasal pc aku keluar. Kesudahannya, they decided to execute a total tack-back on my pc. My friend who's working in the IT department tengah dok clean my pc and sampai sekarang tower aku tak kembali-kembali ke tangan aku. According to him,

3. I've been downloading thousand and thousand of songs, games, wallpapers, screensavers, documents, videos and pictures. 70% of them are movies-oriented, 20% of it is porn and the rest is just utter rubbish. Sudahnya, internet-line pun jadi slow nak mampus.

4. My company has a strict policy on peer-to-peer software. Memang diorang tak allow dari dulu pun. So, being me, I downloaded Yahoo! Messenger, Kazaa, Online Yahoo Games and all sorts of stuffs. It all went smoothly until one day, I can't get Messenger to work! Oh tahi! Diorang dah find out!

5. I used to send about 3000 emails per day. By myself per se. Ain't that cool. Last-last, dapat memo dari company. Selain dari aku, memang ada ramai chart toppers yang mengungguli carta black-list email company aku ni. Semuanya for the same valid reason. Mana tidaknya, semuanya penuh dengan email porn, movies, jokes and rubbish aje. Email kerja, lets say yang ada tapi sekadar cukup nak cover line ajelah. Sesetengah company implement a filter on incoming emails from external servers macam Yahoo!, G-Mail, Hotmail or other web based email provider. Tapi company aku ni baik hati, diorang terima mana-mana email luar yang nak masuk ke dalam server kitorang.

6. Company aku dah terima terlampau banyak sangat report pasal pc down la, cpu crash la, sound system out la? macam-macam laa..

7. Due to these illegal usage, diorang takut yang these viruses will penetrate ke dalam server. Walaupun firewall yang dibeli tu mahal nak mampus, lambat laun lemah jugak system ketahanan tu jugak. So, better late than never, dipotongnya Internet access tu.

8. Bill Internet yang melampau giler babas punya tinggi for the past months. Kesemuanya datang dari floor aku. Kiranya department aku ni memang major contributor untuk bill internet ni lah. Lelaki perempuan semuanya sama aje. Kitorang balun habis.

9. Kalau sorang dah tau the illegal way, sah sah lah satu company mesti tau. Kitorang kat sini percaya that even the walls have ears. Dia mesti bagitau kat kawan dia. Yang kawan dia ni pulak suruh bagitau kawan dia dan dia jugak pesan kawan dia ni suruh pesan dengan kawan kepada kawan dia jugak tu to allow them to access the internet.

10. Not to mention, most important reason of all would be due to blogging. Daily updates, baca blog my coubnterparts and partner-in-crime, commenting on people's blog dan macam-macam lagi lah. 80% of my Internet time is used for blogging, 10% for downloading all sorts of stuff 5% is for chatting and the other 5% is a lot of other stuff.

For now, I am unable to update new entry for my blogs on a frequent intervals due to those constrains mentioned above. So, who's the smooth criminal? I am proud to say that moi is the culprit behind all these. Not to forget Ironboard who is not as malicious but as same evil as me.
Power to the unsolicited, pompous, paranoia-brat but yet exquisite staff on the company.

Still on Cinta...

FADE IN:

INT. PETALING JAYA - AFTERNOON

Main-plot : A real life situation on Thursday semasa berjalan balik ke office selepas waktu lunch. Dah lah panas terik tengah hari ni sampai berasap kepala aku dibuatnya. (subplot : Makan jauh dari office semata-mata nak pekena ikan bakar padahal yang tinggal kat kedai tu cuma daun pisangnya sahaja! Hampeh!). Habis terbakar nasi dengan keropok lekor yang aku makan sebelum tu.

MADDOX
Wei, pergi lah tengok cerita Cinta. Aku dah tengok dah last Tuesday. Best wooo!!!

KAWAN MADDOX
Ish! Tak nak lah aku! Entah apa-apa cerita entah.

MADDOX
Laaa.. apasal pulak? Best giler kau tau tak cerita tu. Sempoi aje.

KAWAN MADDOX
Ala… cerita dia slow sangat! Lembab semacam aje aku tengok iklan dia.

MADDOX
Looo… Then ko nak tengok apa pulak? …

KAWAN MADDOX
Cicakman (with a very very big giggle)

MADDOX
Apasal pulak??

KAWAN MADDOX
Sebab aku tengok aksi dia dengan lidah dia tu. Macam best aje! (Kalau korang fikir aksi lain dengan lidah, then stop it!)

MADDOX
hmmmm…. (A very long sigh!)

FADE OUT

Is it me or is that the typical reaction that I’ll get kalau cakap pasal Cinta?

Still on the topic of Cinta. And to answer my friend’s question. Lagipun, bagi aku, there’s no harm in frantically exaggerating about Cinta. It’s a good movie furnished with a superbly simple storyline and the best cast around. (For me, that is). You tell me berapa banyak filem Melayu yang boleh dapat captivate the Malaysian viewers?

I don’t know about the rest of you but for me, I have gone way pass the stage where I am tossing the coin to watch a film just to see whether it’s entertaining or not. I don’t want to sit in the cinema, spend my RM 10 bucks and walk out of the cinema getting nothing but my stomach filled with popcorn, 1901 Chicago Chicken and carbonated drink. I guess the sentiment is a bit different now. Well, that’s the advantages (or should I say disadvantages) of getting older.

However, true that a movies’ function is to entertain but it’s rigid to see that a film does carry a moral messages. If a film is just merely to entertain the viewers, why did a film being discriminated as “pencemar budaya”? Obnoxious huh? For me, I value movies far beyond their cast and storyline. Way pass all that. Picky? Not really! I watched Remp-it. In fact, suffice to say that I am willing to watch Nana Tanjung (which I didn’t because of my time constraint) eventhough it is such a lampoon of the Penangite’s. Ironic isn’t it? This type of genre is more acceptable by our viewers. Whose fault is it, then?

Bla bla bla.. yadda.. yadda… yadda… enough said;

And since it has been quite some time since I did my top 10 list, here is the Top 10 reasons why you MUST watch CINTA.

1. Jalan cerita yang menarik. Korang boleh pilih kisah cinta yang dekat dengan korang. Ada suami isteri, ada warga emas, ada adik beradik.Something yang korang boleh relate because of love. If you are a human, then you can feel humane and love.

2. Kemunculan Fatimah Abu Bakar yang dah lama sangat tak muncul on the silver screen. Walaupun the Kedah accent is a bit awkward, as I’ve mentioned earlier, tapi it’s just worth it.

3. Cinta bukanlah arahan pengarah paling prolifik negara, pengarah yang bukan menggunakan pelakon yang sama untuk setiap movienya dan bukan pengarah yang syok sendiri main hentam keromo aje mengarah.

4. 10 bintang, 5 kisah, 1 cerita. Ada kisah cinta 3 generasi.

5. Sebab filem ni aku rasakan bukan setakat setaraf, malah lebih baik dari sesetengah filem cinta Indon yang datang kat Malaysia ni. Don’t trust me? Sebab tu aku suruh gi tengok Cinta.

6. Sebab muzik-muzik dan lagu latar filem Cinta yang cukup menarik. Ada lagu soundtrack Cinta which is Perpisahan by Anuar Zain, Revival Ikhlas Tapi Jauh by V.E dan lagu Cinta nyanyian semula oleh Jaclyn Victor & Misha Omar.

7. Sebab semua review yang aku baca tentang Cinta said it’s a great movie. So, I am not alone on this. So, you wanna feel the love, go and watch Cinta.

8. Sebab ada seminggu aje masa yang diberi untuk Cinta kat panggung. Seminggu lepas tu (which is yesterday when Cicakman was launched), competition is gonna be very stiff.

9. And in my case, because there’s Fasha Sandha. Tak kisah lah kalau lakonan dia biasa aje, I still love her. Fasha darling, abang is still here for you.

10. The last reason kenapa korang kena tengok Cinta? Sebab aku suruh la. Aku dah kering idea nak cari the 10th reason why. So, gi tengok aje lah.

P/s : Aku nak berterima kasih pada Ajami Bicara Skrip sebab sudi membenarkan aku membaik-punya-cilok-kan hasil kerja tangannya.(boleh dak Ajami?)

Anyway, semasa aku tengah belek-belek majalah yang aku pinjam dari IronBoard, aku ternampak poster Tenacious D from Jack Black and Kyle Gass. Sekali pandang, baru aku berasan yang there is some kind of similarity dengan poster Bruce Almighty from Jim Carrey tu.

What do you think?

Aggghhh.... What a week... sigh

Hello fellow earthlings..... how do you do....

Kinda my first blog i ever composed... i don't really know what to write or how to start it... I don't even know if anyone is going to read this blog of mine...

1. Is it for me to express my feelings?
2. Is it for me to share something about myself to the whole wide world?
3. Is it for me to share something i discovered or i know to everyone??

Can anyone please answer me......!!!!

Hmmm..... okay... lemme give it a shot...

++++++++++[Last week of July 2005]++++++++++

This week has been kinda boring to me. I don't know, it's like a bad week for me.. Felt like I am cursed. Hahahaha... Not really.. i don't know... Just that felt bad over the week... felt nothing is special this week...

Started off the week full of sh*t... damn it... Work is boring... People around me is boring... Life sucks.... Hate to admit it but it does... Don't know how to express it...Maybe its that time when PMS strikes...

Let me share with you something about myself... I am not easily satisfied with something.. anything, in fact... and to make it worse... My heart is no longer here (in the company that i am working, that is)... It's like a flock of bird has flown south.... Sometimes i felt bored over work, over my colleagues... over some one those pretentious friends.... I don't know... maybe it's me... maybe it's my friend...I just can't figure it out....

A dear and good friend of mine once said, maybe those people around me are something dissapointing... she said that i am not like them... I don't play aruound too much.. I am matured as compared to them...(well.. some of 'em are... hate to say it.. but they are somehow like a 13 years old trapped in a 25 years old body)... Maybe it's true... I put to much expectations into them... well.. don't blame me.. Better act SMART than being a SMART-ASS....

Oh well.. that is life huh... Live and Learn.. I always believe in that.....

p/s : I always tell myself... if i think i am in trouble... there are people in deeper shits than me.. and i am lucky... i have people who have always supported me.. pull me back on the ground...
