2011-08-08T08:49:00.003+08:00

Will try to catch up again.. hopefully.. Huhuhuhu..

Happy Birthday Mum..

2009-09-02T16:47:00.002+08:00

Today marks my mum's 57th birthday. Plans to go back to Shah Alam to buka puasa there. Happy birthday mum..

Happy 60th Birthday Ayah..

2009-08-04T17:28:00.005+08:00

Today (04-08-09) marks ayah's 60th birthday. Went back to Shah Alam a day before to have an early celebration, a KFC for dinner which resulted in other issues. Bought him Crocs sandal for his birthday and he likes it very much. Ayah were taken to the hospital due to swollen legs. He even had several cramps while eating.

Soon, when In were back from work, we took ayah to Hospital Ampang for check ups. I were at the hospital until 4.30am due to so many people at the hospital. The result is that ayah must go to IJN to get a proper checkup.

Anyway, I wish him health, wealth and happiness. You are my inspiration, you are my life.. I love u very much ayah.. Happy 60th Birthday..

Dia pun nak menyibuk gak...

2009-05-27T10:30:00.004+08:00

Haaa.. Ni la dia si kay po chi.. Pantang tgk ada benda lain.. Nak gak menyibuk.. Time ni tgh duk buat keje sambil tgk game United lawan Hull kat ESPN. So letak la note book kat tepi sebab senang nak refer dan lagipun takda space nak letak. Tiba tiba datang ler si kecik ni, terus duk baring atas buku tuh. Punyalah banyak tempat nak landing, kat situ gak pilihan dia. Isk, taknak bagi buat keje la plak.. Siap bagi jelingan manja dgn posing maut tuh. So, terus la aku pun tak jadi nak buat keje. Cair wooo tgk jelingan dia.. Hahahahaha... One thing memang dia nih suka duk kat sebelah aku kalau aku duk tgk tv. Nak attention la tuh kot.. Heheheheh..

Man Utd Asia Tour 2009

2009-05-27T10:09:00.003+08:00

After the cancellation of their last visit due to some idiot in AFC and his stupid reason, this year Manchester United finally decided to include Malaysia in one of their Asia Tour 2009 program. An event organised by Proevents, the match against Malaysia XI will take place on 18th July 2009. As for the ticket price, it ranges from RM58, RM68, Rm98 and RM308.
As for the pre sale ticket, which include the training pass, it took place from 22nd to 31st May. I went to Al-Ikhsan Biukit Bintang to purchase the ticket. As early as 9.30am, there are several people queued in fron of the shop. We (me and EZ) were somehow the 10th people in the line. Surperisingly, after the third people coming in, tickets for the RM98 were sold out!! We were pissed off, same goes for some people in the line.
So, we ended up buying the ticket priced RM68 plus the training pass. That should be ok. Looking forward for the training session and the match.. WOOOOHOOOOO!!!!!

Just look at the people queueing in front of Al-Ikhsan.

Something hit my eye..

2009-05-27T10:04:00.003+08:00

Actually aku pun tak tau kenapa jadi macam nih. Dah masuk ni kali kedua kena. Tiba-tiba mata kiriku terasa seperti pedih dan membengkak. Macam ketumbit. Tapi nak kata mengintai orang mandi, takda la plak.. Hahahaha.. Until now, still macam nampak bengkak sket. Hmm.. Masa mula2 kena doctor kata ada infection bawah kelopak mata tu. Tapi letak ubat ok la. Cuma kadang kadang tuh rasa gatal dan berair.

Finally.. I OWNED it!!

2009-03-18T10:25:00.005+08:00

Hahaha.. After so long I've been eyeing it, finally the day came when I got my Playstation 3.. And to make things even better, I've added my collection with The Guitar Hero World Tour Complete Band Set Game.. It comes with a drum set, guitar, a microphone and the game itself. Owh, ok.. Why PS3 and not Wii, or XBOX? Well, I like SONY ans PS3 has everything that I needed. One thing that I really like about Playstation (Apart from Sony Products) is that for PS3, everything is perfect. Although one major concern is to buy the game, which you have to purchased original blu-ray discs (Please la crack it quick.. Hehehehe). Other features includes stunning graphics, the functionality of the console as a Blu-Ray player, DVD player, wifi Internet and HDMI features.Talk about the game, Guitar Hero World Tour. I have been a follower of the Guitar Hero Series since it's first launched. It was truly an entertaining game. WHen Guitar Hero World Tour came out, I was kinda dissapointed to see that it works well with PS3, and I only have my PS2 that time. So, patiently waiting and I managed to bought PS3 and the game. Try it on and I was amazed with it. The drums were awesome, really feels like a real drum. Hahahaha..

The next day, went out to buy another game.. This time I bought The Street Fighter 4 game. The highly anticipated classic fighting game with simply superb graphic! i never really fancy Street Fighter, but this one really poisoned me kaw2... The reason I bought it? Well, another features on PS3, you can play online with almost anybody. Try it on Street Fighter and it really kicks my brain out! Hahahahah.. Awesome...

Next target, Burnout Paradise... Hahahaha..

Airasia vs MAS

2009-02-13T02:48:00.004+08:00

This is absolutely crazy! I was eagerly waiting for this to come. Finally.. When the seats are open for public at 0800, 10Feb 2009, without delay I browse through the site and look for a place to visit. What else you could ask for from what Airasia offered. RM0.00 + No Fuel Surcharge!

However, I still browse through MAS website to compare the prices between these two airlines. I found out that the price MAS offered were slightly higher than Airasia. After spending the whole day on Airasia website (well, of course the site is congested and people are flocking to book the tickets), I add in more travel plan for this year and next year. I wonder how I can budget my financial for these trips. Here's the planned trip for this year and next year.

February 2009 - Kota Kinabalu
April 2009 - Makassar
November 2009 - Medan
January 2010 - Siam Reap

Well, Medan were actually a trip for the family as mom and dad wants me to look for a place to visit. So, this is a bonus for them as I always wanted to take them for a holiday. Now I have to prevent myself from browsing through Airasia so that I won't add in another trip this year.. Hahahaha..

Takda keje nih..

2009-02-05T00:37:00.004+08:00

Hmm.. Lama betul tak pegang camera nih.. So, satu hari tuh.. Dah takleh nak handle.. Start belek2 camera.. Tapi since dalam rumah.. Apa jer nak shoot. So, apa lagi.. Kucing2 menjadi mangsa la.. Hahahaha..

More on my flickr.. Adios..

2008 - Recap

2009-02-02T02:12:00.009+08:00

Well, I always thought of creating a post on what happened in 2008, but since I was kinda stuck with my hectic work stuffs, it is always delayed. Now, I'm slowly entering the things that happened in 2008. Well, sort of what I can remember..

January 2008 - The yearly holiday trip planned for this year and we choose Indonesia (well, it's a big country and there are so many places to visit plus the currency factor.. Hahahah) and the destination were Solo and Jogja. For me, I still find Indonesia interesting. The scenery, people, shopping and especially the foods. Well, Syah likes the foods a lot. Also many that you don't ever heard of are there in Indonesia.

February 2008 - I got myself a DSLR. My first DSLR, a Sony a200. Why Sony? I have always trusted Sony. No offence to other brands but I like to be different. To explore other brands. have the influece from my colleagues to buy Canon instead, but I choose Sony. And, until now, I am still happy with it..

May 2008 - I quit my job at BESSAR, well for several reasons. One, got another offer and better pay from a company, which were located in TPM also, but different area. The other one, someone is unhappy that I'm there and the project that we were doing are finally completed.

August 2008 - Alhamdulillah, me and Syah finally get the chance to perform Umrah. It was a fantastic unforgettable experience. So many things we explore, meeting so many people throughout the journey. InsyaAllah, maybe Hajj will come next.. Oh, and congratulations to my best friend, EZ who tied the knot with Zizi after 10 years of relationship.

October 2008 - After coming back from Umrah, Syah were admitted to Ampang Hospital. And the worse part is to see him with a tube in his neck because he has to do dialysis. Hari Raya were not really that good this year.

December 2008 - Landslide at Bukit Antarabangsa, it was horrible. Could never had imagine it would happened. Syah were still not in good condition. He were taken by a helicopter on the landslide day to HKL for his dialysis treatment. We have to evacuate our house and stayed for a week at Taman Melawati. The cats were taken along and were kept in the toilet, yes, seven of them and I couldn't stand it. After one and a half week, we managed to go babk to our home at Bukit Antarabangsa. However, Syah has to be admitted to Hospital Ampang as his conditions were getting worse. There were a small blister on his right foot. Finally, more of my close friends tied the knot. Congratulations to Syed & Kak Nor and Niza & Adly.

Hopefully 2009 will be a good year.. Goodbye 2008..

Constantine... A FEMALE??

2008-12-03T00:54:00.003+08:00

Ok, setelah sekian lama delay nak hantar si Constantine sunat, finally last Saturday, me and Syah went to DBKL Vet kat Setapak. Setelah semalaman dikurung dalam bilik reading, si Constantine nih mesti pelik tetiba kena bawak keluar. Tak pernah keluar rumah la katakan.. Setibanya di vet tuh, kitorang drop Constantine dan pergi breakfast kat Jusco.

Dalam pukul 12.00, we went back to the vet to pick up si kecik nih. Tiba2, the doctor tuh bagitau yang si Constantine nih rupanya female.. Hehehehe.. Terkejut kejap. Mana taknya, amik masa kecik tak nampak apa2 pun lagik, then bila dia besar sket, dah penuh bulu tutup satu badan. Tapi takpa, Constantine tetap menjadi antara kucing kesayangan kami. So, bila dah bawak balik, since dia kena bius, masa utk amik gambo la.. Hehehehehe...

This doesn't comes together... Hahahaha..

2008-11-12T00:51:00.004+08:00

Well, as for what can be seen here, this was originally a fruit basket given to Syah on his birthday. an dsoon, with the intelligence of our beautiful Gabrielle maskes full use of the spaces available to convert the basket (and yes, there were still some fruits left) to her bed.. Hahahaha..

Pet's Lover Magazine Photoshoot

2008-10-30T21:03:00.008+08:00

Hmm.. Tgh tak tau nak update apa kat blog nih, asyik citer pasal keje jer bosan gak.. So, duk browse gambar-gambar kat dalam PC. So, ternampak lah folder gambar-gambar kucing. Ni masa shooting untuk magazine Pet's Lover Magazine, by Miss Pua. Syok tgk gambar-gambar nih.. Masing-masing dengan perangai tersendiri..

No DSLR at the moment..

2008-10-30T09:59:00.003+08:00

Yesterday, I went to the Sony Service Center at Midvalley to have my a200 sent for cleaning and servicing. This includes the original kitlens which have some problem with the motor mechanism. Since it is under warranty, I sent both items for repair and maintenance. I met Pikiez at Midvalley, who also sent his a100 for cleaning, because he wants to sell it to his colleague to buy the Sigma 10-20mm Super Ultra Wide Lens. Gosh, it feels weird not having my DSLR around. Hopefully the new 'cleaned' a200 will be better.. Hehehehe..

Sheila Majid in Action

2008-10-23T22:18:00.007+08:00

Finally, the day has come. Went to RTM to watch the recordings of Sheila Majid - Zoom In @ RTM. The recording were done in Auditorium Perdana. As expected, the rain aused some difficulties in reaching there by 8.00pm. I took off from the office 15 minutes to 6.00pm and the rain has stopped. Halfway to Jalan Yap Kwan Seng to pick up Syah, it started to rain again. Managed to reach there by 8.00pm, just in time to enter the Auditorium. Around 9.15pm, the recording starts with Sheila, as her usual style comes in with Jatuh Cinta. A few rarely performed songs followed as she wants to do something different.

But, she never left out her hits like Lagenda, Aku Cinta Padamu and a special duet performance of Ikhlas Tapi Jauh with Zainal Abidin, who that night performed two songs as he was the guest artist. What can I say.. She is truly a great performer. Can't wait to watch the recording on TV soon.. Heheheheh..

Why not much photos? Because the STUPID RTM Guards did not allow people to take photos. They almost rampas my camera after seeing me snap a few shots. What's wrong with these people la.. Macam la takut sangat kita nak sabotage Studio RTM tu.. But at least I got a few good shots! Hahahaha..

Kabus Pagi

2008-10-23T21:38:00.002+08:00

Adeh, sungguh teruk cuaca lately nih. Hujan jer memanjang. Kalau tak hujan, complaint panas lak. Hehehe.. Anyway, satu pagi yang indah, time nak gi keje (as usual, kalau hujan memang lembab tul nak bukak mata nih), jenguk kat luar... Adui, sejuknya.. Kabus tebal lak tuh.. Naper lah time syok2 nih kena gi keje.. Tapi takpalah, kalau weekend camni kang tak best lak.. Hehehehe..

Sony Convention 2008

2008-10-22T02:10:00.005+08:00

Alamak, telupa lak pasal Sony Convention 2008. Hmm.. Apa yang nak citer pasal Sony Convention ni ya.. One good thing that I'm proud to owned a Sony DSLR is that they community are very active. Almost every month ada jer outing nya. And the best part is that whenever Sony organize an event or outing, everything is free. Hahahaha.. Not to mention about the freebies la gak. Anyway, talk about the Convention.. It was a three day event held in Le Meridien. As mentioned earlier, everything is free. There are so many interesting things happened during the convention. A lot of talks, free non stop foods, motorbikes and models on display and the most poisonous thing is the launch of Sony's new 24.6mp Full Frame DSLR, a900! And I managed to met a lot of people that were only known from the alphanatics forum. It was fun, entertaining and resourceful event. Although no prize for me that day, I was satisfied. Thank you Sony.. like.no.other

Zoom In - Sheila Majid

2008-10-20T01:15:00.005+08:00

Woohoo.. Came across a notification on Facebook that Sheila Majid will be having a Zoom In Recording session on 22nd October at Auditorium Angkasapuri. The Sheila Majid website did offer free passes by sending an email to them. So, we quickly sent out an email each to the webmaster for the passes. Unfortunately, me and Syah did not get the passes as they were given out within hours. So, move to plan B. Call my auntie who her daughter works at RTM. I ask whether if there are any free passes for the show.

Then, on Friday I received a call from my auntie with a very good news.. She have the passes for me! Phew, such a relief.. This will be the third time that me and Syah going there to watch Sheila Majid do her recordings. And the best part is.. I got five passes for the show. I was informed that those were the last five printout passes and it is all mine.. Hahahahaha.. I quickly informed Syah about it and he was jumping with joy.. Can't wait for it.. Too bad Roy couldn't join us to the show..

My New Communication Gadget

2008-10-14T10:46:00.004+08:00

I am a Gadget Freak.. So, I have been eyeing on this one particular phone brand that I really found interesting. After a few weeks or months of surveying, I have come up with three choices.. Nokia E71, HTC Touch Pro and HTC TyTn II. So, finally went to The Mall yesterday (cannot tahan anymore) and went to Action Mobile to have a look at these three models to compare. First was the HTC Touch Pro. I like the sleek design and the stylish black colour, putting aside the features and functions. But, Syah didn't think it fits me. He said the design was horrible and it was kinda small for me. At that time, I'm using the Sony Ericsson p990i.. So, I put that aside and asked for the Nokia E71. Hmm.. No stock.. Hahahaha.. I have look at this phone actually and for me it's quite ok. The same features like the E90 it offers smaller size and more compact.

So, jump to the third model, HTC TyTn II. A PDA phone that really cool. Apart from the design, which is totally different from the HTC Touch Pro, I like this phone because it gives the full power and features like a mini computer. And the tilting screen is awesome.. Price factor between these two HTC Phone is around RM600. So, there u goes.. At the end, without any doubt, I bought myself a HTC TyTn II. And I like it very much!!!

Playing with my a200 on Hari Raya

2008-10-07T17:02:00.005+08:00

During the first day of Raya, I were dead bored at home. Nothing much to do. Cannot eat anymore, nothing good on TV (Not pretty sure if they are still showing circus show pagi raya). So, since I have all my gears, went out to the lawn, took out my a200 and do some experiment. Well, I was bored though.. Might as well do something.

I shoot some flowers at my mom's lawn using a manual lens, Industar 50mm f2.8 and a close up filter (+4) which I attached with the kitlens. Just to do some comparison in terms of sharpness and picture quality. Here goes..

Using the Industar 50mm f2.8 Manual Lens.

Using the Close Up Filter (+4) attached to my kitlens.

Hmm.. Any differences?

Salam Aidilfitri 2008

2008-10-06T01:27:00.005+08:00

Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri. Setelah sebulan berpuasa, waktu yang ditunggu telah tiba. Tapi bagi aku takda yang extra special bila tiba Hari Raya ni. Sama seperti hari-hari lain. Cuma seronok bila dapat berkumpul satu family. So, kesempatan nih, aku bertemankan a200 menjalankan tugas photography di pagi raya. Tak banyak shots, sebab malsa dan lebih focus kepada juadah yang dah ada kat dapur.. Hehehehe.. Anyway, Selamat Hari Raya.. Maaf Zahir Batin..

Selamat Berpuasa & Selamat Hari Raya

2008-10-04T15:48:00.004+08:00

Puasa datang lagi.. Time2 nih statistik penyakit 'Gastrik' akan tiba2 naik melonjak.. Hahahaha.. Anyway, puasa aku tahun ni macam biasa.. Buka puasa pun ala kadar jer. Takda nak makan heavy sangat. Kalau tahun-tahun sebelumnya, almost tiap2 minggu nak gi buffet di hotel. Tapi kalau nak tengok sekarang, memang tak berbaloi buffet di hotel dengan harga yang dikenakan.

Tanggal 11/9/2008, company aku ada buat buka puasa di The 39th Restaurant, PNB Darby Park. Tak silap, harga per-head dalam RM75++ seorang (nasib baik company bayar). Oklah, lagi pun makanan dia memang banyak. View menarik. Kena la dengan harganya tuh.

Ok, tak banyak cerita bulan puasa nih. Ala kadar jer. Anyway, post untuk hari raya akan dimasukkan kemudian. Lama tak bukak blog pun. Gambo pun tak sempat2 nak upload.

Satu gambar dari The 39th Restaurant..

Sony Alpha - Sg. Congkak Outing

2008-10-04T15:29:00.005+08:00

The third outing organized by Sony and Advanced Images were held in Sg. Congkak. The theme for the outing this time is nature. A lot of new faces who didn't managed to join the previous two outing (due to limited places) were given the chance to join this outing. How do I were part of it? well, a call from George the day before the outing to ask if I am interested to join the outing. Without doubt, I said yes. Wouldn't miss it for anything.

We move from Midvalley at 7.15am to Sg. Congkak, which took us around 45minutes. Upon reaching there, we were divided into several groups and then go for a quick breakfast. At approximately 9.00am, the shooting and exploring session begins..

The event ended at 12.30pm as we headed for the shelter to gather and have lunch there. Three photos from each participant to submit for the mini contest that Sony is having. the best part is that I managed to meet up a lot of alpha users which were only known through the forum.

Well.. Here are some photos to share..

Thank You Sony & Advanced Images..

Alhamdulillah..

2008-09-16T20:39:00.009+08:00

Tanggal 25hb Ogos, aku selamat kembali ke tanahair dari mengerjakan umrah selama 16 hari. Termasuk dengan Tour ke Cairo. Macam macam yang aku dapat kat sana. Jumpa dan berkenalan pelbagai jenis orang. Pengalaman yang cukup manis dan indah buat aku. Melihat Kaabah yang tersegam indah didepan mata, aku seperti tak percaya. Sungguh indah. Hatiku seperti berat untuk meninggalkan tanah Suci pada hari terakhir. InsyaAllah, jika diizinkan Nya, aku akan kembali kesana lagi.. Disini ada berberapa gambar yang sempat diambil disana.

Apa yang nak merepek kali ni...

2008-07-31T15:01:00.004+08:00

This time rasa macam nak merepek sat. Selalu type in english, tapi kali ni nak buat entry caca marba.. Hehehehe.. Apapun, lately nih macam takda masa sangat nak mengisi blog nih. Buat masa nih, tengah sibuk dengan prototype INTAN. Harap-harap dapatlah projek nih.. Tapi, minda dan fikiran aku semakin tertumpu kepada tarikh 10 Ogos 2008. Tarikh aku akan menunaikan umrah. Semoga perjalanan ku ini akan dirahmati dan segalanya lancar. Macam-macam aku duk pikir.. Harap semuanya akan tenang bila kat sana nanti.. Amin..

Ok, citer pasal kerja.. Takda apa yang menarik. Macm biasa. Kalau dah bidang e-learning.. Pusing2 macam tuh la jugak. Mencari projek untuk dilaksanakan. Cuma sekarang nih ada la keje2 tambahan yang aku kena buat. Rekod VO la, editing, documentation.. Macam-macam. Tapi takpa.. At least aku tak la bosan. Hehehe..

Lagi satu, rasanya dah nak masuk seminggu aku tak pegang dan amik gambar guna a200. Sekarang tengah bagi dia rehat dalam dry box. Last sekali outing dengan budak-budak Alpha kat Restoran Kg. Pandan dengan kehadirang orang jauh dari Sabah.. Kysham.. Best la bila lepak ramai-ramai macam tuh. Banyak benda dapat belajar. Then, kitorang pi shoot kat Eye On Malaysia. Aku suka photography. Kalau bleh nak bawak jer kamera gi mana-mana. Cuma sekarang nih masa tak mengizinkan. InsyaAllah.. Gambar akan diupload kemudian.. Hehehe..

Satu pagi, masa tenga nak siap-siap gi kerja, aku jengah tgk kat luar. Ada sesuatu yang menarik perhatian aku.. Dari luar jendela, aku dapat lihat awan yang begitu cantik sekali.. Terus aku grab a200 aku dan amik a few shots. Inilah hasilnya..

Ermm.. Apa lagi ya... Cukup la kot sampai sini dulu.. Nanti citer lagik.. Wassalam...

Sony Alpha Outing @ Malacca

2008-07-22T17:46:00.002+08:00

The recent outing after the Putrajaya were held last Saturday, 19th July 2008. Sony and Advance Images Photography arranged the event which participated by more than 40 people. Moving out from KL around 11.30am (which the time stated were 10.30, but due to the delay of the bus, we have to wait for another hour) and reached Malacca at 02.30pm. We met some Malacca Alpha users there and head for lunch. Too bad the weather is not on our side. A downpour since morning really restricts our activity there. I could not shoot much good photos as to prevent from the rain. However, I am satisfied with the event and many thanks to the organizers and the instructors involved in making it a successful and enjoyable trip. My congratulations to the winners (I'm still looking for the winner's name though)..

Looking forward for the next outing.. Cheers!!

The worse few days..

2008-07-22T09:25:00.003+08:00

Monday came and it sucks, BIG TIME! It's just one of those days that makes u feel angry, easily annoyed, fed up and lazy. I am at the office and nothing that day interests me.. Well, basically as I'm more focused to my work. Haven't been sleeping right lately. Went back last night, feed the cats and went straight to the reading room, to capture the mood of completing the storyboard.

Let's just hope that things will be better throughout this week..

Patung Kertas @ MTC

2008-05-02T15:00:00.008+08:00

Went to see the Theatre 'Patung Kertas' (Paper Doll) at MTC last Wednesday. The play, which starts from 25th to 30th April, has been attracting many people to see it. We managed to get the tickets, which were booked 2 days before the April 30th show online. It costs RM53 each and for that, we thought it would be a money well spent. Some of it is for a good cause where they are raising funds to help a kid for his heart operation.

Reached there early, around 7.30pm. Wandering around the place to snap some photos before the door to the Auditorium finally opened at 8.30pm. The place is full house since it's the last show. It was an entertaining play despite some rumours that is helds up the 'mak nyah' community. People, come on... The problem with our community is that they can't accept that the play is just a play. However, it has its own message to the audience. A few of my colleagues were being so negative on the matter.

Anyway, the cast includes Dato' Jalaluddin Hassan, Ebby Yus and some others. They did a good job. Noryn Aziz were the 'Penaung' for the play. What people might say, it is up to them. But for me, this is a money worth spend.. Thumbs up.. Oh, since it was the last show, they have a special lucky draw from the sponsors. and, lucky enough for me, I won myself a hamper from Nestle.. Heheheheh..

Here are some photos from the play.. Cheers..

My 31st Birthday

2008-04-23T10:45:00.004+08:00

On Sunday, I turned 31. Gosh, time flies.. And one more year added into my life. Anyway, went out on Sunday (haven't been out for quite some times..). First, went to Green Box at Sg. Wang. The last karaoke session was like 2 months back.. I think so.. Then, move to the new shopping complex, Pavilion because of having dinner across the road, Planet Hollywood. Since it's my first time there, I don't really fancy the place due to it's size and the shops there. Only thing that I look forward is Jco Donuts. Hehehehe.. Well, it tastes like Big Apple though, but surprisingly the crowd is merrier here than Big Apple. I wonder why.. Anyway, had a very good time out that day.. Happy 31st Birthday to me!! Hehehehe..

p/s: Thank you sayang..

My New Sony DSLR

On Saturday (23/2/2008), I finally got my first DSLR. Went to Sony Style KLCC to purchase the Sony a200. It costs me RM1999.00 for the kit lens. The twin lens are at RM2499.00. Since I've been craving for one, without thinking much, I spent RM1999.00 for the kit lens. After reading some good reviews for the model, it is easier for me to buy it. A lot of my friends are using Canon and persuaded me to use the same brand, but I want to explore the Sony Technology on DSLR. For me, still a lot for me to learn, but I am happy with my new toy.

I haven't uploaded any photos yet which i took from the a200. Will posts it later. Thumbs up for Sony for making a good yet cheap DSLR. This is the photo taken from the internet.

Happy Valentine's Day

2008-02-20T10:49:00.005+08:00

Valentines this year is not like any other year. Since coming back from Jogja, it was so close to the special day. Anyway, I managed to squeeze some cash to find a present and a card. Will have a proper Valentines Dinner later this month. Happy Valentine's Day my love. I love u very much!

'I've never felt this happy since the day I found love. When I found you, life was so beautiful. You make my life complete. You were always there for me. No words can't describe how much you meant to me.. Together we will cherish our love forever.. I love u very much..'

Jogja: Day 06

2008-02-15T16:19:00.004+08:00

Today is our last day at Jogja. Waking up at 8:00, we head to the nearby restaurant to have our breakfast. We saw so many people outside the restaurant, as if there was an event going on. True enough, there was an interview session held at the hotel. After breakfast, we went to the receptionist to request for the late chek out, since our flight from Solo is at 18:10.

We headed back to our room, and then we received a call from the receptionist. Rani Febriana, the person I contacted for the reservation of the hotel, would like to meet me and Syah. After lunch, we managed to meet the person. A very friendly Rani, who were so kind to spare some time with us to take us around the town, buying souvenir and Srabi (local Solo food) and took us to see the Klewer Market. After a while, we headed to the airport, assisted by Rani and the driver. It's sad to leave Jogja when you are attached to it. Anyway, all that start will have to end. This might be the end of our journey, but who knows, maybe we will be back here for the second time. So, at 19:20, we left Jogja and the sweet memories we had there... At approximately 10:00, we arrived safely at LCCT. Sapit was already there waiting for us.

Our thanks to the people involved in making our trip a pleasant one. Mbak Ria (Ibis Hotel Malioboro), Mbak Silvana (Rumah Mertua), Bp Pai Pai (Tour Guide), Bp Supar (Driver) and Mbak Rani Febriana (Hotel Baron Indah). Thank you very much.

Jogja: Day 05

2008-02-15T15:42:00.006+08:00

Today we woke up feeling so exhausted from our trip yesterday. But one thing for sure, it was a memorable tour. Never in my life I've experienced such beautiful yet magnificent creation. Anyway, since today we will be checking out from Rumah Mertua, we decided to have our breakfast sent to the room. Having the same breakfast as the day before, we enjoyed it at the balcony. After that, I startes packing the things and ready to check out leaving wonderful memories of Jogja behind.

We took a cab to Solo and check in at Hotel Baron Indah. The hotel, located at the town of Solo is a nice place to stay. On the way there, we managed to spot two mall in Solo. One is Solo Square and the other one is Grand Solo, which is located near to our hotel. The room is quite ok for the reasonable price that we paid for. And the best thing is, there is a bathtub. I just love relaxing in a bathtub.

Later that night, we asked the receptionist for any nasi padang restaurant available nearby. Only a few blocks from the hotel, there is a small restaurant selling nasi padang. The night scenery at the hotel is quite scray. It was dark and gloomy. We managed to take away the nasi padang and eat it at the hotel. For the price of RM5.50, it is quite cheap to have nasi padang for 2 person.

Later that night, we get some rest and looking to the last day of our trip tomorrow.

Jogja: Day 04

2008-02-15T11:50:00.011+08:00

Today, we woke up early to have breakfast. Why, because at 8:00am, there will be a tour to Borobudur Temple and Prambanan Temple. This is the reason of why we chose to travel here this year. After breakfast, we waited at the lobby for the van. Then, we headed to our first destination, Borobudur Temple. Syah could not climb to the top as there are 150 steps to climb. So, only me, assisted with a tour guide reached the top level of the temple. Upon reaching the top level, I was amazed with the view.. Got some beautiful photos.

Now, when we got down and on our way to the van, we were surrounded by the souvenir sellers. I can't barely walk with all of them surrounding me like vultures. They even gave a good bargain price for the item that thay're selling. Too bad, it doesn't interests me. Only bought a pair of Borobudur Ashtray, made out of the lava rock.

After that, we headed to Kaliruang (hope this is the right spelling), but due to the bad weather, we skip to our third destination. Prambanan Temple. We had nasi padang for lunch before going to the temple. At Prambanan, due to the recent earthquake in 2006, some temples are badly destroyed. Photos of the destruction are shown to the tourists. A barrier to prevent the tourists from entering the temple, for safety reason but still manage to view the temple. It was so beautiful.

The tour ended around 4:30 pm. And we request the driver to drop us at Malioboro Street for us to look for Money Changer. Walking back to Malioboro Mall and had dinner there. Malioboro is always a good place to visit. You can find almost anything there. Headed back to the hotel, tired but satisfied.

Jogja: Day 03

2008-02-15T11:26:00.009+08:00

Today we checked out from Ibis Malioboro and proceed to our second place to stay, Rumah Mertua. That morning, we walked along Malioboro Street to find something to eat. Since the Mall is not open until 9:30am, we decided to find something to eat first. There are many stalls along the road selling foods such as Bakso, Bakmi, Lumpia and Es Buah. But, we could not find anything that interests us. So, Syah decided to have one Es Buah and then we bought two Lumpia. Lumpia is actually Popiah here in Malaysia. Had our 'not really a breakfast' at the food court in Malioboro Mall later.

After checking out at Ibis, we took a cab to Rumah Mertua. A boutique hotel located 20 minutes from Malioboro Street and the first hotel we stayed in, it is more secluded. We found out about this place from a blog that we came acroos and we think that the place is beautiful. True enough, it is. The room is so spacious, nice and quiet environment. The people there are friendly too. We had our luch there, a set called Rijstaffel. A number of more than 10 dishes at a very cheap price.

Rested for a while, we then planned to visit Prambanan. But since time is not on our side, we change to Kraton. Upon reaching there, we didn't quite had the chance to go in since it almost closed. What we had next is the Beringharjo Market. A place to buy cheap batik, souvenirs and others. One thing that turns us off is that the cab driver told us that there are many pick pockets. We cancelled it and then were taken to a batik shop called Bu Karti.

Feeling dissapointed, and furthermore its raining, we headed back to the hotel. Had dinner there and the rain still doesn't stops.

Jogja: Day 02

2008-02-15T10:54:00.007+08:00

The second day of the trip, we had breakfast at the cafe in Ibis Hotel. Since the breakfast are not included with the room that we booked, we have to find our own breakfast. After breakfast, we wander around the Malioboro Mall since Syah is not feeling well that day. Caught with a bad fever, we head to Hero Supermarket, located at the Lower Ground Floor of the mall and get some medications. Then, we head back to the Hotel and rest. I managed to hooked up to the wifi from the room. Didn't really know how exactly I can find the username and password, but somehow I did it. So, the rest of the morning I keep myself updated on the internet while Syah wrapped himself in a blanket.

Later in the afternoon, after feeling a bit better, we walked out to find something to eat. Then, we came across a Bakso restaurant a few metres from the hotel Ito Bakso, a restaurant serving Baskso and other stuffs. We had Bakso Sapi. Syah had a clolourful coconut drink (es kelapa) and i had Happy Soda (a soda drink mixed with milk and syrup). Wandering around the street and then we head back to the hotel. Nothing much on Day 02 since the poor guy is not feeling well.

Later that night, we went out again to Malioboro Street. Buying what we like. After that, we headed to Mc Donald's for dinner.

Jogja: Day 01

2008-02-01T18:27:00.008+08:00

On 31st January until 5th February 2008, the long awaited trip begins. This year,we plan to visit Solo and Jogja. Here are some of the things that I can remember and put it in the blog.

We reached LCCT around 5:00am in the morning. Just a few hours of sleep really annoys me. But the feeling did not bothers me as I'm looking forward for the trip. After check in our luggage, we had Mc Donald's for breakfast. The boarding time is 6:25am. Approximately 6:55am, we left Kuala Lumpur for Jogja. The flight took us 2 hours and 30 minutes.

Arrived at Solo Airport around 8:15am. Noted that this is the Indonesian time. The Malaysian time is actually 9.15am. Early one hour. So, now I will have to use Indonesian time instead of Malaysian time. One thing that shocks me, the airport is similar to Sungai Besi Airport. Though it delays us the landing time, due to the reason given that the traffic at the airport, there's nothing actually that makes it a heavy traffic. The airport doesn't have any metal detector door, a very old and small airport. Well, after check in and collecting our luggage, we headed to Solobalapan Railway Station to take a train to Jogja.

Upon reaching the station, the train to Jogja is at 11:40am. It will be another 2 hours to wait there before heading to Jogja. Since there's nothing much to do, even at the train station, we decided to change our plan and took a cab to Jogja for Rp150,000.00. Honestly, I am quite afraid of the Solo environment. There's small kids knocking on your car, asking for money. Poor kids. They should be at home studying.

At around 11:45am (I'm so lost even with the time), we reached our hotel in Jogja, Ibis Malioboro. Sight of relief as we register and went to our room. The hotel is quite nice. A very comfy look, cheap and very friendly staffs. We head out to check the Malioboro Mall, which was attached to the hotel. One of the earliest Mall, this mall is quite not the place for teenagers. There are three other mall in Jogja. Saphir, Galeria and Ambarrukmo. Across the mall is the Malioboro Street, where the long road were occupied with stalls selling shirts, souvenirs and etc. We went to Ambarrukmo, to check out the mall. Kinda new, it is similar to the BB Plaza in Kuala Lumpur. We had out lunch there, at a place called Hot Meal (Warung Bakar). Located at the lower ground of the Mall, it sure is special. The food is nice here. I had Smokey Twins and Syah had Lemon Chicken. For drinks, I had Berrymore Iced Coffee and Syah had a very colourful drink with jelly. What I can say is that this is actually a Blueberry Coffee. With the name, it might taste weird. But, I actually liked the taste. Hehehe..

After wandering around, we go to the other mall, Galeria to find Wendy's (Syah was looking forward for this when he first saw it). I bought a couple of CD's, which I can't find it in Malaysia. Feeling tired, we went back to the hotel and Syah had a foot massage. It cost Rp75,000.00 for 35 minutes of foot massage.

Around 7:30pm, we went out to check the Malioboro Street. As said, the long street were occupied with seller of t-shirts, belts, batik, frames etc. The price is quite cheap and you can bargain. But, do try to go as low as you can before buying. Don't ask and leave as they will yell at you. One annoying thing is that the Becak (trishaw) people always approaching you and inviting you to take a ride in their trishaw. They even follow you as you walk along the street. I really hate that. We'll, we managed to grab a few shirts a souvenirs for the friends back home.

Then, we head to have a meal at nearby stalls, Nasi Gedeg and Bebek Panggang. Hehehehe.. Bebek is actually a goose. So, just imagine eating a goose.. Hehehehe.. My first experience.
After dinner, we went back to the hotel, feeling tired and looking forward to the 2nd day of our trip.

Today, KL.. Tomorrow, JOGJA..

2008-01-30T16:15:00.000+08:00

Well, it's the last day of work before we left for our long awaited trip, Jogja. My mind is already there. This morning, my sister called informed me that ayah is not well. I rushed back to Shah Alam to check on his condition. When I got there, he was asleep after taking his medication. Mom planned to take him to the 2nd time of berubat this Saturday. Anyway, will look if the condition is not ok, well, guess that we have to force him to go to Ampang Hospital for MRI scan.

Well, looking forward for the trip tomorrow. But, I still haven't finished my packing yet.. Heheheh.. Will have to finish packing tonight. One thing for sure, I'm going to miss all the kids. Sorry kids, wish that we can bring you all along. Heheheh.. Be good ya while we're gone.

p/s: I can't find any photos of Isabelle.. Heheheh..

Two days in a row..

2008-01-29T12:41:00.000+08:00

Hello,

I don't know how this happen, but it seems I have lost it when it comes to eat. On sunday, we went to Pet Safari to purchased the monthly supply for the kids. After that, we went to The Curve, looking for the DC Comics merchandise, which was available at Metrojaya. Nothing much to look there compared to the Metrojaya in BB Plaza. Anyway, after that, feeling hungry and thirsty (the weather is so damn hot that day), we stroll along to look for something to eat. Then, after much consideration, we walked in to A&W at the lower ground floor in Ikano. I had 2pcs Chicken and a Root Beer with Float. While Syah had Mozza Burger, Large Root Beer and Waffle with syrup and honey.

On Monday, I was at Putrajaya to send the documents to our client. Then, dropped by at Alamanda to go to Al-Ikhsan, purchased a nike boot bag for my little brother, his birthday today (29th Jan). Wandering around, makes me feel hungry and thirsty. So, I started looking for something to eat. Having to come here almost every week, I actually didn't know what else to eat. Finally, without looking further, I ended up at A&W, again for lunch. But this time I didn't take my regular choice. Instead, I had a Coney Dog and a regular Root Beer. And, at that time only I realised that I have eaten at A&W for tow days straight.. Damn, that is unhealthy.. Hehehehe..

January 2008: The First Month.

2008-01-24T16:22:00.000+08:00

January is nothing much to expect for. Noted the first month in the calendar, it is really nothing at all. People are back to the office after the long break, the new year celebration and you coule really notice some moody faces around the office... Begging for more holidays.. Not in a mood to do their job. For me, I don't really mind about the holidays. The good thing is that I can have the rest that I want. But, thankfully, January comes with a few holidays. There's Awal Muharram (10 Jan) and the recantly happening thing is that the government decided to announce Thaipusam (23 Jan) as a Public Holiday to KL and Putrajaya. Yay! That's a big relief, looking at the traffic it might cause. So, I spent the whole day sleeping. Ok, not the whole day.. I did some house cleaning as I was too lazy to do it the day before. The kids will always mess up the house running around and leaving their fur everywhere.

By the way, next week I will start my long break and travel to Jogja (Yogyakarta). The 6D/5N trip for both of us is a yearly break that we managed to do for the past three years. Bangkok, Phuket, Bali and now Jogja. When writing this entry, my mind is already there. I really can't wait for the trip. So excited to the trip. Will be back for one day work on the 6th February, then another long break will come along. Chinese New Year. Heheheheh..

About the kids, there's nothing much to talk about. Gabby always sleeping, Hercules the noisiest among all, Alexander always looking for attention, Isabelle looking for new spots to relax, Victoria the gangster yet lovable, Napoleon always looking for a chance to sneak into the room and Constantine the grown up kid. By the way, managed to shoot a video of constantine acting like a mop. Hooking himself on the slipper, he will not let it go and when I dragged him around the house, he just stay hooked to the slipper. It makes me laugh watching it over and over again.

Salam Aidiladha

2007-12-21T11:02:00.000+08:00

This year is the first time that we celebrated Hari Raya Aidiladha without Mum and Dad. It's really different when coming home from the mosque and there's nobody at home. Anyway, I just can't wait for their return from performing Hajj. At this moment, I really miss them so much.

On the other side, I will be on a long break from 25th December 2007 until 1st January 2008. Mum and Dad will be back on the 27th December. May they have a safe journey and we will be waiting for their arrival here.

Til then... Adios

Salam Aidiladha.

The worse day of my life!

2007-12-21T10:55:00.000+08:00

It could be the worse day of my life. My stuffs on my hard disk are all gone! I have to reformat the hard disk in order to use it again. All the kids' photos, mp3's and other documents are all gone. Of course it pisses me off, but there's nothing else that can be done. So, I have to reformat my hard disk. Damn it!

Prince Constantine

2007-11-29T11:14:00.000+08:00

Hehehe.. This time it's all about the cutest but so arrogant and fierce Constantine. Well, one thing for sure... He's grown up to a furry hairy kiddo.. So cute. But, still doesn't like people to pick and cuddle him. Tak macho la konon.. Sometimes he likes to crash next to us while watching TV. Like wanted some attention. Anyeay, got a special photo which the title says it all.. Heheheheh..

All about cats growing up..

2007-11-05T16:28:00.000+08:00

There is nothing much happening lately. I've been busy with work, life and relationship. Anyway, since I have the spare time at the office, just would like to update on the blog. I have been keeping myself quiet from taking the photos of the kids lately. Why? Maybe it's Raya and I'm a bit occupied with my responsibility. But I've managed to capture a few photos lately. And what surprised me is that all the kids have grown healthily.. VERY HEALTHY.. Hahahaha..

Gabby is now spending more time sleeping. Seriously! When will you ever noticed her playing around. She will not move from her spot and could lasts for a day, or even two! The only time she wakes up is to eat or do her 'thingy'. The.. Back to sleeping...

Hercules, as usual will be the noisiest amongst all. But he's a very good boy. Whenever he makes some nois, it means that either he's hungry or wants some attention. Usually, it will be the attention. The only way to keep him quiet (for a while) is to kiss him on the forehead. That'll do it.

Alexander is turning to be a wolf! The fur on his neck is thickening. Wonder if the hormone pills that we gave him stops there. The tails is still the same. Hopefully he can be as his sister, Gabby soon. It would make him a very handsome boy.

Victoria is having a problem with her fur. They're shedding. We want to take her to the vet for medication but for the time being, she will have to wait. Hang in there ya gurl! BTW, this is not her latest photo. She spent most of her time under the sofa. So, it's hard to gget a glimpse of her around.

Isabelle, the usual routine.. Eat, sleep, eat, drooling all over the house, eat, sleep and the list go on.. Hehehehe.. That's our Isabelle.

Napoleon... Hmmm.. What can I say. He's sooo fat now.. Abah even called him Fatty.. Hehehe.. Don't blame him la.. He likes to eat. From a stray cat, we'd never thought he could be so fat but lovable and manja guy. Oh, and he will not allow us to go out everytime. He will block himself at the door. Hahahaha... Very clever guy!

And lastly, Constantine... OMG, this guy is sooo berlagak ang garang (stuck up and fierce). He never liked people to lift or cuddle with him. He will growl and retaliate. So gangster one. But, he grows up very well. Hehehe.. And lately, we noticed that he like to sleep with his big bro, Hercules. Way to go Hercules!

Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri

2007-10-18T09:45:00.000+08:00

One month of fasting, then it comes the day where Muslims all over the world celebrated Hari Raya Aidilfitri. For me, Hari Raya tthis year is as like the previous year. Nothing much to be excited about. Except for the fact that everybody gathers on that Raya morning.

Anyway, like the previous years of Raya, I don't spent much time mingling around. After Raya prayer, as like a tradition, the first thing to do is to have teh tarik. And every year, Syed Bistro (which will be open on Hari Raya) will be my place to have teh tarik. One more thing that I like about Raya is that my beautiful nieces are there. Hehehehe.. They're so adorable. Too bad my eldest brother didn't celebrate Raya with us this year.

Finally, the food. Always looking forward for mum's cooking of nasi impit and rendang. But this year, it's a bit hot and spicy. Hehehe.. We even had nasi impit and rendang for the last day of buka puasa. How cool is that. Always love your cooking, mum!

This year, I don't have new baju melayu. Still wearing the same baju melayu last year. But, I was so happy that mum and dad wears the same colour. The kain that we bought earlier for mum's birthday, she make a jubah for her, a baju melayu for dad and even a baju melayu for my little brother, Alim.

Well, after that, I spent most of my times on PSP and hanging out at mamak stalls. Oh, I have a baju raya actually. Well, bought it at Hard Rock Cafe on my anniversary. Hehehe.. That counts then. Enjoy some photos of raya and my raya shirt. Til then.. Adios...

Mum & Dad and Me

My favorite nieces; Elida & Elise

Cute & Funny.. Hahahaha..

2007-09-10T16:03:00.001+08:00

One week after the time the trio were sent for boarding, things are back to normal. Gabby will look for places to fit herself in the new environment. Hercules will try to be as noisy as he can be. Napoleon.. Hmmm.. Always running and chasing aorund the house! Anyway, got some cool photos of the kids in action... Or even dozed off.. Hehehe.. Enjoy photos of the kids adjusting themselves to the new environment.....

Renovation Completed

2007-09-10T15:40:00.000+08:00

Hello..

The blog today marks the completion of the renovation of the house. Timber flooring and new paints makes the house looks cozier with brown colour. At first, doubts circles our minds as to see if the colour fits the timber flooring. Finally, we seen that it really matches everything. One week of hard work and tireless effort paid off! Well, look at the photos of the new looking house.. Enjoy..

Boarding for the unlucky trio..

2007-09-04T10:12:00.000+08:00

On sunday, three of the kids at home were sent to the petshop at Bukit Antarabangsa for boarding. The reason is that the house were on renovation to do timber flooring. As to prevent suffocation to lock all the 7 kids inside their room (because of the sizes), we have decided to send them for boarding. Other than that, it is also to prevent from 'unneccessary' help from them to the installer. So, after much consideration, 3 of the are chosen to be sent to boarding. Gabby, Hercules and Napoleon are selected.

Upon reaching the petshop, Hercules is the one that makes noise all the way from the house. I think maybe because of the previous experience of him in a cage that ended up in a vet and getting the shots. Hehehe.. The cage, located at the front of the shop is where they are put. All of them didn't like the idea. Gabby were hissing to others, Hercules making the noisiest sound and Napoleon getting himself as low as possible to hide from others. It's kinda sad since this is their first experience out of home and in a cage. But, this is for their own good too.

Anyway, the flooring process done completely within a day (which was expected to be done in 2 days). Today, they will be taken back to our hands to our new home. Hehehe.. New home. Not yet, still got some paintings to be done. Anyway, enjoy some photos of the kids at the petshop.

Selamat Pengantin Baru..

2007-07-16T15:52:00.000+08:00

Welcoming Constantine

2007-07-02T15:36:00.000+08:00

Today marks the 10th day we had a new family member in the house. Named Constantine, he was a little kitten adopted from Kak Ruby (a staff in the office). I was so happy to finally get Constantine. That makes him the number 7 in the family. At his young age and very small size, since he's just a few weeks old, we took good care of him. Keeping him in a cage so that the others won't bully him (actually, some of them have bullied him nowadays) and feed him with milk and kitten foods. But, one thing that really suprise me is that at his age, he has already know to use the litter to poo poo and wee wee.. So clever la this guy. And, he will climb on the cage when he sees someone at the kitchen. As to let him out to play around the house.

At first, most of the cats don't like new cat entering the house. Victoria was the obvious one to hiss and making noises. The only one that can accept Constantine is Hercules. Even Gabby spent most of the time on top of the aquarium. Napoleon started to play around with the new guy. Alexander will just meowing all the way until someone pays attention to him. Isabelle, as usual. Keeping herself out of the picture.

Hopefully, things will be better in the future. Oh, and one more thing.. This little fella is a very good biter. He is so playful also when given the chance to come out from the cage. May he enjoyed living with us and the other.. and grow up to be a very beautiful cat.

One more thing, yesterday all of them, except for Constantine were given the long overdue shower! Hahaha.. some were well behaved, but Hercules makes the loudest noise and even uses his claws as to rebel.. Now, everyone smells nice.. Hehehhe..

Look at some photos of Constantine here..

I'm 30!!

2007-04-20T18:36:00.000+08:00

Yes.. It's true.. Today marks my 30th birthday.. I'm no longer in my 20's. It's a beginning of a new era for me.. I'm 30. Life will still be the same for me. As usual. Nothing really changed. ANyway, got a very nice birthday present. A Quiksilver wallet!! Nice!! No photos taken because I'm so excited to use it.. Hahahaha..
Anyway, HELLO 30!!

Til' we meet again.. Adios..

p/s: Thank U Sayang for the wallet.. Hehehe..

April - The time has come..

2007-04-05T13:06:00.000+08:00

Well well.. Hello again..
It really sucks when I can't even look at my blog and update it regularly as I used to.. But, I don't want to keep it really quiet. Even I know I have nothing to post, I will just put a simple remark..

Ok, where do I start? Work? Life? Cats? Hehehe.. Sounds interesting.. Well then, I'll start with work. Wow, it was really a hectic period for me. Lots of things to do.. Deadline to meet.. But people always said that you don't have to work like shit because it will never ends.. I tend to keep it that way to prevent myself from being a workaholic.. Hahahaha.. Nah, nothing interesting much about work anyway..

Let's look at life.. Life, as usual.. Can't complaint much. Enjoying every minute of it. Especially when you have someone you really love.. Anyway, I always have been asked about the same question by a couple of my friends, which is "When will I get MARRIED?" this is like a big punch straight to the face everytime people askes me. Haiyaa.. I always replied "Selagi takda rumah.. Tak Boleh Kahwin..". Hehehe.. Not easy maaa..

Blank.. Really blank..

2007-03-13T16:22:00.000+08:00

Really, I have nothing to write.. Just want to see the blog actually. Kinda blur.. Hehehe..

Anyway, will be more creative next time.. PROMISE!!

February Stars..

New Year, New Resolution, New Hope..

2007-01-30T18:39:00.000+08:00

Hello 2007..

Another year passed by.. 2006 left me with lots of good and bad memories. But, looking at the brighter side, it brings more good memories to me. I just hope that 2007 will be better.
The last post was on November, Hari Raya. After that, I kinda slow down on posting my blog. Busy with work and doing other things.. Nothing much to say anyway. Except for the BLACK DATE, December 21st, 2006.. I will never, ever forget that date for as long as I live.

2007 kicks off really good. I went to Bali for the long awaited vacation for one week. It was great. I really needed that break. Bali is such a nice place to visit. The people are friendly, things are cheap there, for shopping of course. And, the scenery are awesome. Magnificent. Never thought that being there can be so much fun.. Hope to go back there again soon.. Hehehe..

Now, I'm working with BESSAR. Still doing the courseware and this time, I'm doing Biology for Form 5. Personally I think Biology is easier than Chemistry. Hehehe.. Proud to be here and will do my best to the company.

As for the title above.. New year has been great for me so far. I don't really care about resolution. People do that every year but do they really achieved it? For me, it is better to not to make any resolution (but still, I do have) because if you don't achieve it, it will make you a failure. But, my new year resolution (or every year) is to continue my love, my support and my caring to the person that i love most, my soulmate. Hehehe..

Well, my hope for the new year is that I will have a better life, good job and all the best thing that a person could ask for. Hahaha..

Well, no photos yet to put her.. But will do so soon..

Till then.. Adios..

Work.. Puasa.. Work.. Raya.. Work & Work!

2006-11-16T11:35:00.000+08:00

Ermm.. Nothing much to say actually.. Since I've been kinda busy lately at the office and basically the will to write a blog is not really there, so.. here goes.. Hehehe...

Firstly, let's just say that I don't really fancy Hari Raya that much comparing to like 10 years ago.. Why? Well, as you grow older, the excitement of the Raya is not there really. It used to be the term 'dapat duit raya' previously, but now.. It's 'bagi duit raya' for me.. Hahahaha.. For me, what matters most is that everybody was there on that pagi raya. Then, my raya will only lasted for half day, where the rest of the day I spent it on my room.. Sleeping.. Hahahaha..

Me and my beautiful nieces

I'm not that much of a 'Jalan-jalan pergi Raya' type of person.. But the most important thing and the much awaited thing on the first morning of Raya is to have Teh Tarik after Raya Prayer. Hehehehe.. Ok, back to Raya.. Not that I don't want to, but as I say.. I would choose to sleep rather than going to people's house on 1st day raya.. Let them spend their raya first.. Then baru boleh kacau2.. Hahahah..

Anyway, I didn't apply for leave during the raya festival. Why should I? I have nothing to do at home anyway, so might as well I work. Even though noithing much to be done.. Hehehe.. So, as I am updating my blog today, not that much that I can do at the office. Just wasting my time and downloading stuffs. Well, if there's any thing new to be put here, I will force myself to do it.. Till then... Adios!

p/s: Oppss.. Forgot about Puasa.. My puasa went well every year.. As usual.. Hahaha..

Nite of Soulful Stars..

2006-09-19T15:58:00.000+08:00

Last saturday, while watching my favorite cartoon (Crayon Sinchan) on NTV7, an advertisement of Live Recordings called Niter of Soulful Stars. What really caught my attention is the artistes that involved in the program. Dayang Nurfaizah (who doesn't know her), Adibah Noor (a singer with a very beautiful voice), Tompi (indonesian singer) and Harvey Malaihollo (my all time favorite). Harvey? Am I dreaming? So, to reconfirm the news, I waited for the advertisement to be shown again. Yesss! It's confirmed! Harvey is on the list! The recording will be on September 12, 6.00pm at Studio 1 NTV7.

So, looking forward to it, on that day, we went to NTV7 at Glenmarie Shah Alam. Not a lot of people there when we got there. Maybe the name Harvey Malaihollo and Tompi are not famous among youngsters today. After we reached to our seat in Studio 1, the first to come out is Dayang. Her voice is superb. Tompi appeared next with a groovy song. Although I've never heard him sings before, I kinda like his voice.

Adibah Noor then takes the stage with her song bout her cat, Putih. I wonder if it's ok to compose a song for my kids.. Heheheh.. I'll keep that in mind. Then, Harvey takes the mic. I still can't believe that finally get the chance to see him perform live. A duet with Adibah Noor for the tunes Begitulah Cinta was awesome! But would it be good to have Sheila? Hehehe.. He sang September Pagi, Begitulah Cinta (Duet with Adibah Noor), Jerat, Bisikan Mesra and Pelabuhan Cinta.

The show lasted for one and half hour before the four of them sang You Got A Friend together. The crowd went wild! I managed to snap up some photos taken from the recordings. And, I took a photo with Harvey. Altough didn't managed to get my pictures taken with the other performers, I'm thankful that finally I watched Harvey performed. Who knows, this might be the first and the last for me. Hehehe.. Anyway, some of the photos are here. Enjoy! Thumbs up for NTV7 for their effort!

p/s: Thank you sayang.. Muahs!

Another Loss in The Family

2006-09-11T15:09:00.000+08:00

After 2 months Sid left us, I still can't accept the fact that he's not around anymore. The only thing left is his collar and pendant with his name craved on it. On Friday, September 1st, 2006, another shocking things happened. Troy left us for good. It was so sudden and until now, I still haven't found the cause of it.

Two days before, Troy was like the other cats in the house. Running around and attacking the other cats. Hercules usually will be his play buddy. But, when Alexander joins the family, Troy mekes him the new target. On 1st September, after work, we planned to go and catch a movie. But, at some point, the feel to go to catch movie is not there. So, we decided to head home instead.

Troy - In Loving Memory..

Upon arriving home, I looked for Troy. He was lying in the bed that we bought for Sid. I panicked. He never did that. I lift him up and took him to the sofa. He was so weak. We planned to take him to the vet on the next day (Saturday). But, Troy knows that he can't hold any longer. He tried to get away from me but since he's so weak, he couldn't do it. I held him close in my arms and without notice, I was in tears. I just can't stand looking at him struggling. I can't do anything. Then, Troy threw up some kind of yellow thingy and then it was all over. He left us forever. To be frank, YES.. I cried like hell that night. Only God knows how I feel.

The next day we took Troy to Melawati to buried him next to Sid. I kept thinking about him. Troy was a very unique cat. He was the only cat to suck on earlobe. I really miss him. Really, really miss him. The house is not the same as before. No more Troy running around, playing at my feet, climbing to target the earlobe. I just hope that what we did for him is the best and hope that he enjoyed it. Now I know that he is up there, somewhere, with Sidney and the little newborns that we could not save. I'm sorry Troy if we've mistreated you. You will always be our special kid.

Love Always.. Abah & Ayah

Caught in the act!

2006-09-01T16:13:00.000+08:00

Well, what should I put here? Let me see.. Aha! Something that really interesting I guess.. Hehehe.. Want to look at photos of the kids sleeping? Well.. Here are some of it.. It makes me smile lookig at them.. Well.. Enjoy..

Gabby & Alexander in action

Troy & Hercules in action

Isabelle & Sidney in action

Alexander: The new member in the family

2006-08-22T14:50:00.000+08:00

Wow.. So long since i last wrote. Hehehe.. Kinda have nothing much to say though.. A lot happened.. I lost my favorite cat.. Got more cats.. Hehehe.. Kinda attached to having lots of cats in the house.. Seing them running around.. Playing with each other.. It makes me happy..

So, where should i start.. Hmm.. Well, the biggest thing is that Sidney left us for good. I still felt his presence until today. Everytime I think about him, feel like crying. But can't stop it from happening. I did cried once when looking at his photos. R.I.P Sidney. I miss you..

So, now I have 5 cats in the house. Gabrielle, Isabelle, Troy, Hercules and the latest addition, Alexander. Adopted last friday from PAWS, at first he was a little scared. Maybe because of the change of environment. Took him home and as expected, Troy and Hercules comes barging in to meet the new kid. Alexander spent the first night under the sofa. Maybe he's scared. Troy is a bit harsh on him. However, Hercules shows signs of a good brother. He and Alexander get along well. They even run around and play together. I guess it runs in the family. When Hercules came, Troy acted the same way.

Gabrielle got a new nickname. 'Gabbeyonce'.. Why? Well, abah thinks that her butt is so big like Beyonce Knowles. Hahahaha.. Kinda true though.. Well, got some photos of them here. Only lately they spent most of the time sleeping. Resting during the day and running around the house at night. Isabelle as usual, will spend her day sleeping on the bed and eat whenever she's hungry. Not seen her running around the house with the others though. But, maybe she's like that. Anti-social. Hehehehe.. All of them are the greatest. They're the joy of my life...

Gab'Beyonce', Troy doing his 'thingy' & Super-shy Isabelle

Hercules napping & The new guy: Alexander

Well, my daily routine will be work, work, work. But looking forward to be home early to be with the kids.. Every friday, it's PAWS visiting time. And on saturday, if time allows, we will go to Plaza Damas at Sri Hartamas to look at the IPR activity where they give away cats for adoption. One thing I can say, I'm hooked on cats..

Rest in Peace Sidney..

2006-06-29T13:41:00.000+08:00

Me & Sidney

It's been a while since I updated the blog. Well, nothing much to put here actually. Anyway, yesterday, 28th June 2006 marks the saddest day of my life. The love of my life, Sidney my cat, passed away. He suffered form Feline Infectious Peritonitis( FIP) and Leukemia and there's nothing much that we can do about it. I was shocked but I knew that this day will come.

Sidney was born on December 2005. We adopted him from SPCA on April 2006. Having a first glance at him, we fell in love. The charm, the cute adorable look, the behavior.. It totally struck us that we wanted to take him home. For what I can say, Sidney is a very good cat. He is one obedient cat. There's nothing wrong with him to adjust himself with the new home. I am so happy at that time. It has been the most happiest day in my life.. One thing about Sidney is that he likes to follow wherever I go around the house. Even if while he's sleeping, a slight movement will wake him up. I'm going to miss that moment, having him following me wherever I go.

Sidney, or Sid as we used to call him by the short name, is a bit shy with other people though.. He doesn't like those who he just met. This happened when my nieces come over to our place. Sid will either play dead or hiding behind the television. Somehow, it'll all changed when they left. Maybe he felt uncomfortable with other people, who knows.. In order to makes him happy, we've adopted another cat. A female cat called Gabrielle or Gabby. Things are ok between them.

When we heard that he is infected with Feline Infectious Peritonitis( FIP) and Leukemia, I am speechless. A young cat, not even a year old, have been infected with the two killer diseases. As the week goes by, Sid is getting thinner, didn't move much and didn't even have the appetite to eat. We were so worried that we've decided to do something. At least to make him eat. Unhappy with the news from the vet that we took Sidney earlier, we took him to another vet in Danau Kota. It was introduced by Shahrina. Apparently, we were told the same thing. There were only tears to show our sadness. The vet suggested to put him to sleep to end his suffering. But, having to think about it, we don't have the guts to do it as we love him very much.

Then, we have decided to move Sid from our place to another home in Melawati. At least to prevent it from affecting Gabby. Days goes by, with a good care, there's a slight change in Sid. But, the viruses, which totally shut down the immune system, it didn't last long. Sid was in critical condition one fine Saturday. We rushed back to Melawati and visited him.

On the 28th June 2006, Sid left us. I think maybe his time has come. I regret that he didn't live long. I'm so sorry that he suffered but I hope that he have the care and the attention that he deserved. I hope we have given him the life he wanted. Now, I can't stop thinking about him. He is and will aways be remembered. I hope he has a good life in the other world. Sidney, thank you for giving us the joy and happiness. You will always be here in our heart..

-Rest in Peace-

Welcome to the family, Gabrielle..

2006-05-30T12:21:00.000+08:00

Well, since one is never enough.. And since Sid is left alone in the house while we're working.. We've decided to adopt another cat. So, last sunday (28th May, 2006), we went to SPCA to just take a look at the cats. Well, we brought Sid along to meet him with his caretaker. So, as we were looking around.. Then there was this cat that caught my attention. A mix persian cat at the corner cage. So cute and so pretty, she was called Manja. After some really tough decison-making moments, we've adopted Manja from SPCA. On the way back, we decided to give her a new name. So, that is when Gabrielle pops up! Or, in short form, Gabby. Welcome to the family, Gabby!

Do cats take time to mingle around and get to know each other? Hmmm.. Sid and Gabby do have some hissing (or what u call it these days, but i think it's more into hissing) between them but didn't fight. That's a relief. At least they will need more time to get to know each other. Anyway, I love both Sid and Gabby! Hehehehe..

Here's a photo of Sid and Gabby

Hello there..

Last week was the greatest of all. Adopted a cat from SPCA, called Sid (name taken from the character in Ice Age and Ice Age 2). Six months old Sid joined the family. He's damn cute. Kinda makes me feel happy everytime with him. The best thing is, Sid will stay at home while we went to work. At first, I thought that it's dangerous to leave your pet unattended at home. He doesn't like to be kept in the cage. But when I got back, everything is ok. He will be there to wait for my return. He's the greatest. Sooo manja la.. Hehehhe..

Anyway, got a few photos of Sid. Just can't stop looking at him. It's a great relief to just look at his cute face and all my problems fade away.. You might never know that cats can really help release your stress. I love cats! Hehehe.. And I love u very much 'SAYANG'.... Muahs! Muahs! Muahs! Muahs!

I'm Back Again..

2006-03-20T15:16:00.000+08:00

Lots of WORK! WORK! WORK!

Wow, it's been so long that I haven't updated my blog. Kinda forget about it. Why? Well, not being around the office is one thing. And, I was not around on January 26th until February 3rd. Went to Bangkok and Phuket! Whew.. Finally got the chance to go on a long long holiday. So many things happen since I last updated my blog. First, the holiday, the new year, the damn work.. Heheheh.. Even now I'm at the office in Klang. Such a crappy place.. Kinda missed KL Office and the people there..

Anyway, another terrible news is that one our our 'kroni' left the company. Ermm.. Things are surely different now. No more hu ha hu ha.. And nobody to back us up from the EVIL power of MOMOK, SALLY & WHITE WITCH! Hahahaha! A few new faces in the company.. Nothing changed much.. Still same old shit..

Wow.. Lot's of things to put here.. But I can't think of any. Hehehehe.. Anyway, all I can say that is I AM HAPPY having a really wonderful person in my life. Life is great if you have your soulmate.. I know I have found mine! Or your best buddies to help makes your day better! Oh, by the way, I'm going to be 29 next month! Oh no! One more year and I'll be 30! Hehehe.. Oh! And one more thing! I've watched Puteri Gunung Ledang The Musical at Istana Budaya! It's REALLY GREAT! And to make it even better.. I watched it on Valentine's Day with my loved one.. Hehehe.. Thank you my love! I LOVE U VERY MUCH!

Life, Relationship and Work!

2005-12-07T06:32:00.000+08:00

Hello there. I'm still at the office while doing this. It's 6.37am, 07 December 2005. Well, for some, it might sound crazy. But if you've spent like two weeks (that includes weekends though), it's normal. I've spent like my whole two weeks at the office. It's all because of the thing that we are working on. Though my sleeping time is like a few hours everyday, now I think I'm used to it. Yes, I feel tired, sleepy and weak at some times.. But I make it a point to get all these things done. Whatever it takes..

Life and relationship. Hmm.. Where do I start. Well, maybe realtionship. It's been 3 years (and counting!) that I'm in a relationship. Or now I can say that I'm married. Happy as I am. I really enjoy every minute of it. Although there's some ups and downs, I vow to overcome it. I want to make this one lasts for as long as I can.. People say that living together or even working at the same workplace might cause trouble or problems, but for me, I'm fine with it.. It makes us closer.. Waking up together, having breakfast together, driving to work and many more. It's great. You are close to the person you love, u do things together. I like it. I love you very much!

It's PC fair again on 2-4 December 2005. And, yes.. I missed it again. It doesn't matter. I've nothing to spent at the fair though. But, I did some crazy shopping. Haha.. I bought a new pair of Nike sandal and a Hugo Soul perfume. It's not my priority, but I just follow my instinct and bought it. Haha.. And I bought a set of Gameboy Advance for my little brother. He asked for it for quite some times, so, I guess it's ok that I go and bought him the Gameboy.

Well, it's almost 7.00am.. I got to get some sleep. Or nap. Or anything. Got to get back to work later. Work, work, work.. that's all. Hahahahah.. Anyway, looking forward to my vacation next week. Maybe Genting or Cherating. Kinda sad can't go to Bangkok or Hatyai due to the project we're working on. Anyway, there's always another time that I can plan for it.

Ok then, see ya later.

Bye.

P/S : The time and date is actually 06:57am, 12 Dec 2005.

Work! Work! Work!

2005-11-29T09:30:00.000+08:00

It's been a terrible week for me! A lot of thing happened and not to forget, work at the office. So many things happened.. So many..

Anyway, I'm not going to talk about work cos it's pretty damn F**ked Up! Let's talk about other things first. Well, firstly about football. Since I'm a fan of Manchester United, it's been a sad moments. Firstly, the row between Sir Alex Ferguson and Roy Keane ended with the Irish lad released by the club. I mean, just look at the club now. We're not performing like we used too. And now, the crisis that's been going on really worries and pisses me off! Looking at it, looks like we're going to end the season without any silverware.

Another football shocker. George Best, the legendary Manchester United player, died at the age of 59 after battling for serious illness for weeks. It really shocked me! He is one of the greatest player. Well, but I can't say much. People come and people go.. George, you will be remembered. Rest In Peace.

Last few days, I got the news that two of my best friends in college, who were a couple, broke up! I managed to hear the story on the girl side on why did it happened and how long it has been. As a friend for them, I feel sad. They were like the happiest couple. Well, that happens in relationship. You can't blame them. It's normal. I wish all the best to both of them.

Well, as for the last thing on my mind, yes... WORK! Hahaha.. Nothing much to talk about. Just let it be... Go with the flow!

It's just another FRIDAY...

2005-11-19T07:45:00.000+08:00

Don't you just love it when it comes to friday? Well, not for me though. Hehehe..

Here I am at the office.. As usual.. It's been a Hell of a week.. Life is not fair. Who doubt it. Ok, here goes..

Hari Raya went good for me. Kinda emotional though this year. But too bad that not all are present. But, you have to give and take.. For the whole week, I haven't been getting enough rest, working till early morning and never even got the time to see the world or even wondering, what happened today out there? Nevermind that, but I really thinks that for the past one week, I'm just LOST! What I have is just my pc and a lot of work.. That's all.

Anyway, here's the best part. Even though how bad it is, I managed to get a glimpse of what happen last three days.. Hehehe.. And, i took a few photos just to keep and post it here..

Well, these photos were taken in two seperate days. This are the views from my office in KL. One was taken on 16/11/05 (11:46am) and the other one the day after, 17/11/05 (13:54pm). It was raining heavily on the first photo when i took it. How I wish that I could just stay in bed that time... Hehehe.. And the other is a clear sunny day... Ermmm.. More photos coming soon...

Anyway, I hope to have a good weekend. I know that it's impossible, but somehow i just have to.. So much work to do, yet so little time to finish it..

See you around then..
Enjoy your weekend..
Sayonara...

My First Blog..

2005-11-12T07:35:00.000+08:00

Hello there..

It's my first time doing this... So please do mind the language and the errors that you might encounter. Anyway, I'm just expressing my life here in the blog. Nothing much, just some silly comments about life and others.. Here goes..

It's Friday. The last working day of the week. But for me and the others, it's just the same hectic and unpleasant day. Nothing much to complaint. It's just that you might never have the time to breathe when loads of work coming to you. Anyway, I am facing the same thing. But, who cares. I'm not going to be like a very hardworking employee or whatver they called it.. I'm just going to do what I can cos I know that in the end, you will have to do the same thing over and over again. Might sound like I'm being pathetic, but maybe somehow, I am! Am I?

Well, anyway, today I don't intent to stay long at the office. Going home straight by 6.00 pm (Yeah, right.. Like that can really happen here..). Going to watch Chicken Little tonite... Ease the pain.. Have a good laugh. I've watched The Exorcism of Emily Rose yersterday at GSC Berjaya Times Square (Thursday nite). A good movie. Kinda slow but scary though.. Hehehe..

Anyway, I can't and don't have any more ideas to express myself today. Maybe I'll have something to put here by next week. Hope to have a good weekend. Hehehe..

Ok.. Have A Good Weekend..

Ciao... :-)
