Team

Diva's Advocates: Moments before "Menyumpit" session of the AdventureRace

1. I have been working in the same organization for more than a decade. I have moved from one unit to another, joined a number of operating units, corporate centers, project teams....and in my 13th year, I somehow made it to this unit on the Sunshine Floor. 2. After 13 years of ups & downs (the latter is more applicable for the past 5 years and more) when it comes to "climbing the corporate ladder", the Sunshine Floor seems to be a place that has somehow managed to revitalize the "allspark". 3. ...what I need for the rest of my life in this organization would be the buddies & the leaders that I can trust and who are there as a team, always.....for that is what I truly believe is present on the Sunshine Floor....insyaAllah.

...some of the things that might happen when you group a bunch of high-competent engineers from various disciplines, business analysts, strategic planners....and me! (ahehehe!) (Bazukishot with our ultramassivecool Vice Pres)

4. Given the time to design & implement the session...I think the team did very well.

What I did was just a small part - lead........ Alhamdulillah.THE BEST!

5. Yes, I am not the staff that will be graded as the best by many other leaders in the organization but for me, that does not mean anything at all, because majority of them are not the kind of leaders that I would trust and appreciate anyway, or simply put - to my definition, they are not fit to become leaders at all. Especially the SM's & GMs & VP of the last place I was in. Yeah, telling straight to your face again, sissies!! So, I am not getting any increment - so be it. Every single items I am being denied my rights, so be it. Every single rewards I am being denied my share but instead being given (or shared) by/to others, be it. I won't be getting any 4-5-6 months bonus, so be it. ...because, ALHAMDULILLAH, I am so glad I have to deal no more with back-stabbers that treated me like a great buddy but took the credits and reward for himself/ themselves. I am not that much concerned about it anymore but the pain & scar remains and it's my persona, if I am being hit, I'd hit them back much harder when the time is right or pray they'll get what they deserve, if not from me,from others, or from MY GOD. WALLAHI, all of you involved will get it ten-fold from MY GOD, AllahuAkbar! The pain & scars I have to live with from the past are too much to just simply be forgiven so don't tell me about holding grudges or "dendam". ..but I am more concerned about the future, it will be better for me & my family, InsyaAllah.

MRO-02.Day-13.

Dirty hands after trying to clear the area from leaves and all...and that's my life, as far as I can see it at this point of time. I have not achieved anything and I have been running around chasing something...chasing something which I can't really comprehend in the end. I have not achieved much in life, that's it.

2020 started rather badly (for most of us, if not the whole world) and it still looks bleak.

There's so much i wanted to write when I first post this photo and parked it here but now, I have come to a decision - I will let everything rest where they started from and just accept what's coming next until the first day of the rest of my life becomes the last day of my life.

...because I am learning to leave this world without leaving anything for the world to remember me with...

W.I.P.

MRO-02.Day-11

Although MRO might be troublesome for some, I personally don't feel it is that demanding after all. What we need to do is just stay at home and if we are going to the public places we just have to be aware of the social distancing and always in proper attire (face mask, hands sanitizer and all). Beyond that, I have always do online works and all...so it is just another effort for me to push my ideas and skills to find more stuff to do online....or, if there's nothoing to be found, LET'S CREATE SOMETHING!!

Yeah, they can cook....

2020.04.10.
MRO-02.Day-10.

Yesterday Alisya & Naufal took over the kitchen for lunch.
Nothing unusual actually but the I have never written anything about it simply because I just started using this blog again a couple of days ago!

Yeah, they can cook....and they are rather talented, I would say.

It is either they want to cook or they are just not in the mood to cook, that is all that matters and makes the difference.

With the twins around (and Neena of course) the chance for me to die hungry, is rather minute, insya-Allah!

At least they would scramble some eggs and dump in some onions and other stuff if I tell them I am starving and Cornholio is about to take over......

Wow...my babies grew up so fast lah....

Today I decided to do it again after so many decades...

2020.04.09.

MRO-02.Day-09.

This is how it is living in Segamat, Johor - for me and the family. This is my parent's place (at the middle segment of the hill) this segment and the top segment are for coconuts, bananas and some durians. 

My own house is an old semi-d unit about 2km from here. NO durian no nothing, MALAS aku...hahah! 

To take care of the old folks, we had to move back to this family home.

Kampung stuff like clearing the fallen leaves and all - are nothing new to me. Been doing it since I was 7 years old. To clear a half acre or so of leaves and dead trees - not much of a work for me....can be done in an hour or so....but it is not my liking....been too tired of it since it's part of my life from being a kid. You see, I don't play much, I was a fat kid, I do the kampung stuff more than  I had the chance to play badminton...until I was sent to the Sekolah Menengah Jalan Stesyen, Kuala Kangsar.

I get to play whatever sports and games I want to....and l ost lots of weight.

I went to University, played whatever sports and games I  want to...and only do kampung stuff when I came back for holidays, if I am in the mood to do it...until I started working...I don't actually do much of this "menyapu, menetak, memerun" stuff.

...but today I decided to  do it again after so many decades...

Took us less than 20minutes  to settle this...and we have the rest of the evening to shoot our arrows...satu sudah "robinhood" pulak....aderhhhh....

Masa Diturunkan Bala, Hampirkan Diri kepadaNYA, bukan buat aktiviti untuk semakin mengundang bala!

Cukup-cukup laa dengan segala apa "challenge".
Reti-reti laa malu, dah umur tua pun nak bertik-tok,
Applikasi tu adalah applikasi yang paling tak sepatutnya kita hadap...

Bila Allah turunkan bala, kita ucap
 إِنَّا لِلَّهِ وَإِنَّا إِلَيْهِ رَاجِعُونَ


وَلَنَبْلُوَنَّكُم بِشَيْءٍ مِّنَ الْخَوْفِ وَالْجُوعِ وَنَقْصٍ مِّنَ الْأَمْوَالِ وَالْأَنفُسِ وَالثَّمَرَاتِ ۗ وَبَشِّرِ الصَّابِرِينَ
(155)   Demi sesungguhnya! Kami akan menguji kamu dengan sedikit perasaan takut (kepada musuh) dan (dengan merasai) kelaparan, dan (dengan berlakunya) kekurangan dari harta benda dan jiwa serta hasil tanaman. Dan berilah khabar gembira kepada orang-orang yang sabar:


الَّذِينَ إِذَا أَصَابَتْهُم مُّصِيبَةٌ قَالُوا إِنَّا لِلَّهِ وَإِنَّا إِلَيْهِ رَاجِعُونَ
(156)   (Iaitu) orang-orang yang apabila mereka ditimpa oleh sesuatu kesusahan, mereka berkata: "Sesungguhnya kami adalah kepunyaan Allah dan kepada Allah jualah kami kembali."


أُولَٰئِكَ عَلَيْهِمْ صَلَوَاتٌ مِّن رَّبِّهِمْ وَرَحْمَةٌ ۖ وَأُولَٰئِكَ هُمُ الْمُهْتَدُونَ
(157)   Mereka itu ialah orang-orang yang dilimpahi dengan berbagai-bagai kebaikan dari Tuhan mereka serta rahmatNya; dan mereka itulah orang-orang yang dapat petunjuk hidayahNya.


*********
Al-Baqarah: 155-157
(155)   And We will surely test you with something of fear and hunger and a loss of wealth and lives and fruits, but give good tidings to the patient,
(156)   Who, when disaster strikes them, say, "Indeed we belong to Allah, and indeed to Him we will return."
(157)   Those are the ones upon whom are blessings from their Lord and mercy. And it is those who are the [rightly] guided.

Hello again!

2020.04.07.

This blog was the first platform for me to express my minds online, circa 2002 if I am not mistaken.
It has been kept in isolation for so many years though, I think the last time I did any updates was in 2014.

I came back here late yesterday evening after I had an invitation from one of my "students" to view her blog.

...and I thought, why not I start writing here again, since the other social media platforms are too busy with everything under the sun and people are killing each other everyday on FB...might as well go back to Blogspot and start again...and only for a selected number of viewers, I have had enough of people trying to be smarter than they really are, trying to steal lime-lights and all...

It is much easier to do vlogs because most can't actually write (and they can't really talk but they get away with it much easier I guess!) so they just try hard to steal from what others have written, leaving "trying to look smarter than the rest of the world" comments and all...

Oh well eff em all...I think I'll start writing here again...
Let's give it a try lah....

The Family. My babies are teenagers now!

Cycling around town...

CYCLING around Kajang / Bangi area in the morning is nice - from 7am up to 8:30am - and if the weather is friendly enough you might even have some cool breeze up to 9am.

However, if the weather is not on your side, by 8am you'll feel the heat and humidity taking their toll...and the best thing to do is to head back home!

Anyway...it is not really the safest place to cycle but a good option after Putrajaya....I can do 20-30km of training routines in any selected routes I have in mind. No need to drive to Putrajaya...safe on fuel and toll.

Just have to find more time and for that I really must have an a steady business running on it's own...really have to get something to fly soon.

 

I didn't say this...but I told you so!

http://www.inquisitr.com/1468612/steve-jobs-didnt-let-his-kids-use-iphones-or-ipads-heres-why/

He stated that his children are not exposed to the gadgets he created....yet the rest of the world would spend nights queueing for those toys.

Nowadays (well, actually ever since BabyBoomers got offsprings to be exact!) electronic gadgets are common "toys" to kids...and babies.

...to e, it is just a very clear sign of bad parenting - lazy parents.

...bye Penang.

...not my definition of relaxing holiday at all.

Pening in Penang

...after a long  drive  in a very unfriendly traffic...

Notes.

1.
Whenever I am attending any "majlis ilmu" - regardless whether it is religious, business seminars or a discussion with business partners, one thing for sure I would always have my notebook with me.
The actual notebook - paper based - and a bastion of my writing instrument (pen, pencils and all).

Call me oldskool I don't mind at all - because when most of you were just about to get your first smartfone, I have done many years using the applications for mobile computing devices since Palm Os monochrome, PSION mobile devices, up to Compaq's iPAQ last series - paper notebooks are the best (for me at least!)...then only the world was invaded by (notso)Smartfones.

The case in hand is not about the devices BUT the note you are taking.

2.
Some people don't bother to take note because the handouts are there (or the slides for that matter).

Well, actually the note is not about what is being presented but what you understand and ideas that you may have with that particular page or chart. You may have a good photographic memory but I don't think everybody would be able to recall everything perfectly in an hour of presentation, especially a sudden burst of idea.

On the other hand, you may have your own way to understand the presentation more effectively thus why you may want to jot a note or sketch as you listen to the presenter.

3.
It is up to you whether you want to ardently take notes or just listen to a presentation. At the end of the day, the one that should benefit from the notes would be your own self...especially if it is an idea that came up to you of a sudden.

4.
It helps to have a dedicated note book.
If you are sketching on a piece of paper you got from the person next to you - ALL THE TIME - that shows you are not so serious about taking notes.

NO, I am not saying it is not right...it is all up to you but it helps to be organized and neat.

Bicycles and their owners

1.
Since 2012, I have owned four Bianchi MTBs and one Marin Hybrid.
Not that I have all for me at once but the first Kuma was stolen, then I got a loaned Kuma, which was later replaced with a Jab 2012 frame which I sold when I finally got a 2014 Jab.
The Marin Hybrid is converted to a tourer and together with the Jab 2014 (both 29ers) I think I have enough to get me going already....and I really make good use of the bikes, about 200-400km a month quite consistently.

2.
To say it is not an expensive hobby, is not quite right. Since I am really making good use of my bicycles, I want to have the best my money can buy....and most importantly the bikes must be tough and enjoyable to be used for the purpose it was built.
...and I don't mind what brand of bicycles anybody who wants to ride with me is using as long as he/she is pleasant and humble enough to not brag about the equipment and just want to enjoy the ride!


3.
When I was happily riding a T-Bolt couple of years ago, I joined some groups of T-Bolt riders.
One particular group was in Putrajaya and they are what you all would term as OTAI (Orang Tua Ada Ilmu - though I could really debate about the Ada Ilmu part!) and as one of the younger members I mostly smile and just follow the ride.

Unfortunately, I met with some of them couple of weeks back.....and boy, am I glad my folks are nothing like them...they might be rich (I can safely say they have couple of millions debt by the way!) but their adab is totally a shame - at the age they are especially.


4.
One of them used to call some Bangladeshi guards who were just doing their job as "Anjing".
The same OTAI used to be-little other riders with lower spec equipments - simply because his rig was customized for some Proton's big-wig who then sold it to him.

Owning certain brand is just "a must" to be in their group. When they are together, they start to "ignore" others around them. Their talks are all about posh stuff and places - heck even their ride  plans are not within this region so who are you to join them unless you are really "their kind of dog"!

Funny thing is, when any - ANY!!!! - of them are just alone or in a small group - and happen to meet with other riders, they actually can "behave"! They can be all sweet and humble!

Happened to me so many times already.

5.
So let me just say it here - Dato'DatukTanSriGeneral kepala kambing apa pangkat korang - please realize that owning a Brompton, Surly does not make you any good rider than the old fart you are. Your attitude and behavior towards other cyclists are sometimes sickening.

NO, I DON'T LIKE YOU....simply because YOU ARE TOO ARROGANT TOWARDS OTHERS WHO ARE NOT YOUR TYPE!

It is still not too late to learn to behave like you want your grandchildren to be...or maybe you just prefer then to be rude and all like you are?


6.
Next time I see these bunch, I would not slow down nor give them the way - they normally hog the path all the time...stupid farts!


7.
Riders beware. This bunch can be very annoying. Just ignore them.

8.
Yes I am mad....at least I have vented it out on this page...so I won't bother about it anymore!

MindingMyOwnBusiness...1

I once asked myself: After more than a decade of doing from end  user marketing management stuff, strategic businesses planning and management up to top level leadership development....what are the key ingredients to become a successful manager at any level?

...and thus the sketch.

Life's Rule #1: Live It

Sharing cendol with Naufal after solat.

Startupsanddown

1.
Successful - my first start-up.
Sold...bagged in almost 100k in just 6months.
(Don't ask what happenned to it....none of my business already!)
Now still finding start button for another one.

NOBODY EVER ASK HOW I DID IT. 
...and I don't bother to share about it openly and what more to "brag" about it to a bunch "fans" who seems to have the "desire" to read "success story of a person" the moment they woke up.

No,  don't want to be associated to those kind of people, those are losers.
Why would I need to find the energy and motivation from a (dead)person whose life history I don't even know (hey, that bugger might be a child molester dude!!)
...and why would I "proudly" post it on my walls - the "words of wisdom" of those "wise souls" that actually sounds like something one can actually compile as they are doing their first business of the day - with their loo in the early hours...why? I am sure I would not "look" smart and "wiser" by doing that everyday!

Ok I am of the track a bit...but seriously, I am not impressed by those who just quite the quotes every day and try to look wise while at it....


2.
There's an article I shared today on the "famous social platform". Here it is:The Article from some dude somewhere

The message is clear and simple.
Maybe more would agree to it than if it is me who wrote it in the first place.
That is too common, nobody near me thinks I am as good as I am - regardless whether I have proven it or I just believe I am actually good at something!

(No I am not being negative, it is a fact that I have observed so much that I have prefer to keep quiet and don't respond to anything asked against me.)

...but back to the article I mentioned...the point #5 : How do you define success?

That is the one question 99.99% of the world population who "excels in the corporate world" FAILED MISERABLY to answer truthfully as he himself of her herself. No, I don't have the statistics, but answer the question and maybe in lest than 5 minutes you yourself will realize you have failed to give a really solid answer.

3.
The point I am trying to send across:
MANY IS LIVING FOR THE SAKE OF BEING SUCCESSFUL TO THE EYES OF OTHERS.

Ever wonder why so many photos of people sporting bundles of cash in the FarceButtLand?
You think the moolahs are theirs? You think 10% of them are millionaires by the time you fart after a good bowl of sup power this evening?

4.
Too many "manipulators" selling false hopes....to people who allow themselves to become suckers of false hopes!

...and some of them do have flamboyant paper qualifications....both end of the deal - the manipulators and suckers.

5.
Be aware...even before you start up - you might have actually started to go down the drain, if you fail to really nail down your OWN definition of SUCCESS.

6.
I will write more about what I have jotted down in many years when it comes to "doing what you want" for a living...but for now, thank you for reading this. I really hope to write as much as I used to when I first started this blog....since I have 2 journals filled up with my journey after I quit from corporate world....hundreds of pages...must me something that I can pass down to my kids in one of those pages....

7.
Have a SUCCESSFUL DAY....if you can define yours correctly.

Whaaassaaap?

1.
Gone were the days when handheld devices are only the toys of real techies (read: geeks!) who have the passion to use the gadgets to make things easier and faster. Nowadays, if you don't have a smartphone, you're probably not up to date with technology....well, not really.

The advancement of technology and the abundance of applications, coupled with the relatively cheap price to own a smartphone, do not necessary mean the users are capable to do stuff faster, with more efficiency and ultimately deliver better result. No. Not really.

2.
Time, still remains the same - regardless how technology has advanced - in the sense that it is pretty much being wasted unnecessarily or rather "unrealizingly"rampantly compared to when technology is something expensive and only means ultimate shiznit for those who are geeks.

3.
I am not really a big fan of WhatsApps (WA). Yeah I do use it everyday but 70% of the time it is just an application that makes me feel my time is wasted. So many people in so many "groups" that seem to have nothing to do but occupying the WA world from the moment they woke up to the moment they were supposed to already be sleeping.

Multi-tasking? Well, I am not so sure if they are really capable of doing that but...chances are, they just WA away and let the time (office hours) pass by. They might be able to complete their works but as I have mentioned above...time is actually being wasted more rampantly than ever.

Owwhh come on! How could you concentrate on doing something when every other minute you just have to respond to the WA lines?

4.
Recently, I answered the usual "morning Salam" in a WA group which I was "re-admitted"...innocently praying that we'd all be concentrating on our job so that our rezeki for our family and children be blessed and filled with baraqah.

...and some stupidfucktard responded indirectly stating I "perasan bagus" and what not.

Well, the motherfucker is actually an idiot anyway so I don't bother responding to his stupid lines, such a loser fucktard.

5.
Maybe you have already witnessed in you office....people spend more time on WA or FB compared to actually doing their office hours and resources 100% for the benefit of the company...

So, we have reach the status "Celik IT" I guess....but not really for the good of the company....I mean, look at the FB pages...on daily basis, you'll find football fan boys lashing the guts of each other....political coffee house has gone on-line....everybody has got to say something and expect everybody else to listen and agree....and  so many other "quarrels" here and there...we have returned to the state of immaturity very conveniently with the presence of social media platform.

6.
Get a life.

"Umpama melepaskan anjing tersepit, sudah lepas, dia menggigit"

When it some to FB status updates.....I have been quiet for a short while, for my very own reasons but today i feel like writing...and since I am not keen to start writing in my blog , I'll just write it here..and maybe the extensive version in my journal later.

"Umpama melepaskan anjing tersepit, sudah lepas, dia menggigit"

Contoh cerita (TIADA KAITAN DENGAN MANUSIA YANG MASIH BERNAFAS ATAU MASIH TIDAK BERNAFAS...kalau ada yang perasan, maknanya kamu bukan laa manusia, tapi....a*****)

1.
Mamat nak kawin, kerja eksekutip (mcm hebat la), tapi sengkek. time tu plak ada skim pinjam bank utk kawin, tapi kena la cari penjamin yg income kira ok la. Mamat mintak tolong la si Faiz yg kononnya steady income utk jadi penjamin.
Dapat laa kawin si Mamat, frust menonggeng la setangondol & kuncu-kuncunya sebab tak dapat swindle Mamat join kelab koboi naik kuda...

Ada la 2-3 kali Faiz dpt notis dr bank kata nak bawak masuk mahkamah sebab Mamat tak bayar consistently...pening jugak, sebab Faiz pun dah kawin & steady je wife dia lagi chun...kalau tak kawin bleh gak warning Mamat jgn memain part bayar hutang kang aku amik bini kau jadi bini aku kang haa!!
Tapi pendek cerita, dah bertahun, hutang pun abis bayar...anak si Mamat & bini dia pun dah besar-besar. Mamat pun makin glamor & famous (maklumlah orang ala-ala retis).

Dah tu pandai plak sound orang itu-ini...si Faiz plak bosan kerja gaji besar, resign buat business ciput, masa terhad nak melayan sms, kadang-kadang call pun tak sempat jawab sementara tengah berkejar hantar barang la ambik barang la...

Mamat plak sebab makin famous, kononnya makin la loaded...makin juah & riak la sikap, sampai tak boleh orang sound sikit. Sampaikan Faiz yg tolong dia nak kawin (kalau tak ntah merempat kat lorong mana ntah cari lobang) pun kena cas macam-macam, sampai delete number, tak reply sms, reject call, unfriend block pelbagai...

Kesian Mamat...hanyut dalam hidup glamor & sanggup buang ke laut orang yg bantu dia jadi Muslim drpd jd orang entah apa...

2.
Ali & Muthu ada bakat dalam satu bidang tapi tak ada akal when it comes to actual  "business sense" dan duit pulak ntah mana-mana...makan pun mak bapak tanggung walaupun telur dah berbulu lebat.

Kebetulan ada pula seorang kawan mereka, Faizal yang minat bidang yg sama, juga punyai bakat yg tidak kurang hebatnya walaupun masih berkerja tetap & berpendapatan tinggi, mahu berhenti dan ceburi perniagaan dalam bidang tersebut.
Maka Faizal pun berilah modal yang boleh laa kata takat nak beli Exora Bold cash tu memang lepas laa...busines berjalan...Ali & Muthu serta Faizal bersama-sama mencari rezeki, segala "shortage" dalam hal kewangan, Faizal akan cover, bila payment masyuuuk, Faizal ambil balik bahagian dia tanpa extra charges.

Tak sampai beberapa bulan, Ali & Muthu sudah kelihatan menyeleweng, harta business dipergunakan untuk works & projects sendiri, Faizal kasi sound. Dua ekor mahkluk tersebut berkomplot habis-habisan untuk mengusir Faizal dari terus kekal sebagai rakan kongsi.

Faizal jenis malas nak bergaduh, dia blah, sambil sound - balance berpuluh ribu ringgit tu sila bayar abis dalam tempoh seminggu kalau tak peguam peribadi akan hantar "surat jemputan".

(Haa jangan main-main....Faizal dalam pada drive kereta buruk pun mampu employ peguam peribadi 24x7!!)

Kelam-kabut juga beruk dua ekor tu...makan pun miss, apatah lagi nak bayar balik duit Faizal yg berpuluh riban...

Akhir kisah, selepas beberapa bulan, mampu jugalah Ali & Muthu melangsaikan hutang...dan masih meneruskan perniagaan berlandaskan planning & strategi yg Faizal sediakan seawal business dimulakan.

Kesiannya Ali & Muthu, sebab selang beberapa bulan lepas bayar hutang, diorang pun bungkus...nak buat camana, kalau dah bodoh sombong, duit tak reti manage - hari ni dapat esok dah habis, style mau lebih....memang la "melingkup is just around the corner".

Memang typical kisah-kisah anjing yg terlepas dari tersepit...

3.
...tapi sekarang ni dgr cerita si Faiz & si Faizal walaupun masih cuba membantu insan-insan yg tersepit...kalau diorang "kena gigit" diorang tak banyak bunyi, diorang akan bagi baik-baik kat insan-insan tersebut jamuan makan istimewa...gigi & gusi insan-insan tersebut...fresh from their own mouths lagi!

Sekian....al-kisah "Umpama melepaskan anjing tersepit, sudah lepas, dia menggigit"
Majulah sukan untuk negara (tak semestinya bolasepak aje ok?)

Choices

 

Green? Red? Yellow?

1.

Eid is just around the corner.
For the whole of Ramadhan this year, Al-hamdulillah we do isya' & tarawih prayers together as a family. Ifthar foods are homemade - mostly, if not all - and Ramadhan Buffet is a complete alien to the family.
It is a mater of choice.
Why pray at home? Because I want the family to be trained with solat berjemaah. It is the first effort and even though it means I have not been to the masjid since first Ramadhan, I don't think I have made the wrong decision at all. I have to educate my kids. They have a hectic school-time and they need to rest, while fasting the whole day and doing their homeworks on time and helping out with the house chores.
Why homemade foods? Simply because it's the love that been pun into the preparation of the foods. Buffets are expensive. I cannot afford to pay for buffet ifthars anymore. Waste of money. Waste of foods.

....but the choice is yours, I have made mine.

2.
This year, I would pretty much want to celebrate Eid as a Muslim more than celebrating it as a Malay...or a Malaysian.

3.
Excessive celebration. Raya songs. Duit Raya. Baju raya (some have to prepare dresses for up to a week!!). SHOW OFFs - new phones/ tablets, cars....and all the likes. SICKENING!

...and when the comparing starts, that's where I would really just want to grab my bike and go off into a trail alone.

4.
Instead of being Muslims, many of us are still Malays instead. Too much "budaya" instilled in the mind instead of "agama". It is not easy to get them to understand and start to behave like a Muslim...or a Muslim Malay....instead of JUST A MALAY.

5.
Anyways.....to each his own.

6.
This eid is not going to be much of a celebration anyway, since I am still waiting for the payments due....nak bersabar tahap mana lagi entah lah....those bloody bastards.

7.
Selamat menyambut ketibaan Eidulfitri. Selamat berpisah bulan Ramadhan.
(I always prefer the latter....ALWAYS.)

Bianchi. Mine.

Since Decemer 2012, I have been riding Bianchi.
The Kuma 4650 was my first. Stolen in May, I got a Kuma 5100 on loan by Bianchi KL until the frame of Bianchi Jab 26" sponsored by Bianchi Thailang/ KL / Italy arrived.

Really enjoy riding this Jab. Fully customized since the frame is the only thing that I was given!

BIANCHI - it's not just a bicycle.
