My Blog

22/10 - Hari ahad, 2 hari seblum raya, kitorang bertolak dari umah kul 515. Mak Cu pun ikut skali. Malam seblum tu aku xleh nak tdo sgt, maybe looking forward kot nak balik ‘kampung’, even though betul2 kat town JB umah nenek2 aku. Slamat sampai kat Wadi Hana kul 900. Jumpa ar Tok Mak, Mak Na & Ayah Kuda. Pastu grak lak Century Garden umah Tok. Pecah rekod, kitorang 1st skali sampai kat sini. So aku bosan2, grak plaza pelangi saja jalan2. Pastu stim lak tgk metrojaya nye sale, angkut baju & sluar selai. Mmg x dpt weh rege camni kat kl, evee though sogo ke OU ke the curve ke, tu yg x pk panjang trus angkat. Pyramid n Mid Valley je aku x g shoping posa aritu. Pastu folo parents aku g kg mlayu majidee, beli murtabak. 5 ketul skaligus angkat. Sebab pasni diorang cuti lama, tu yg blasah kaw2 tu. Pas bukak posa, layan MU-Liverpool kat umah Tok Mak. Gila ar rio skor, goal of the week ni. Pastu malam sket lepak restoran E&Y seblah plaza pelangi layan Reading-Arsenal. Lagi ar sayur Reading kena lauk 4-0. Boleh tahan gak gadis2 yg lepak kat sini. Pastu ujan lak tiba2 bila game nak abis, so blk umah Tok trus tido.

23/10 - Pas sahur, tido blk bgn kul 9. Xde benda nak buat, tgk je ar astro. Kalo aku sampai layan tv tgk astro tu, boleh diibaratkan kebosanan yg tahap abadi lah. Rindu lak kat pc kat umah n kawan2 suma. Ramai gak dak2 yg xde kampung, beraya ar diorang kat KL tu. Pastu abang aku ajak g Jusco Tebrau City. Dgr khabar, tempat ni best gila, so g je ar. Dh ar jauh gak nak sampai sana. Ada ar dlm 20 minit dari rumah Tok. Sampai2, org sket nye ramai, tapi suma bukan bangsa yg merayakan Hari Raya. Sale nye pasal, shoping ar suma org. Punya lah hampeh Tebrau City ni, aku rasa Alamanda kat Putrajaya lagi best kot. Nama je gah, tapi cam x best je bg aku. Pastu on the way blk, singgah bundle kat Larkin Perdana, beli lg sluar 2 helai n baju selai. Pastu pas buka, grak Holiday Plaza lak, temankan kazen aku, kata nak beli kasut. Kat Parkson, jumpa lak kasut, pastu murah gila lak tu, aku yg xde niat nk beli kasut, trus join dia skali beli gak. Murah weh, KL pun x dpt rege ni. Tp yg lawaknya, dia nye promoter ar, lurus bendul sgt. Tergelak je aku tgk gelagat dia, maklumlah aku pun penah gak keje promoter kat metrojaya seksyen 14 dulu2 time abis form 4.

24/10 - Smayang raya kat Depoh Balai Polis Pelangi seberang dari Citibank dekat dgn stadium hoki kul 830. Biasanya, makmum nye ngam2 je 40 org, tapi arini ramai lak org, katanya nak sambut VIP. Tapi last2, VIP pun x sampai, jadi smayang je ar. Bapak aku lak smayang kat Masjid Abu Bakar, Sultan Johor pun smayang kat situ. So dpt ar bapak aku dgr baginda titah pasal Dr M pas khutbah raya. Melepas lak aku nak dgr apa baginda titah ni. Pas smayang, g Kempas jap umah Ayah Ngah aku, sebab Tok Mak aku kat situ. Makan ar laksa johor kat sana. Pastu grak umah Tok lak. Dan seperti rutin biasa hari raya kat JB, grak umah MB Ghani Othman. Org dia punya ar ramai, makanan pun mcm nak abis, queue punye ar panjang. Tapi dpt gak ar makan mee rebus, laksa johor. Pastu g Istana Pasir Pelangi, open house Tengku Mahkota Johor lak. Org dh x brapa ramai, tempat pun x brapa besar cam umah MB. Tapi bratur nak amek satay, mmg ramai. Dh penat bratur, dpt 3 cucuk je, baik xyah. Pastu ptg sket, g umah Tok Busu. Malam g umah Ayah Cu. Aku rasa puasa 30 hari turun 3 kilo, 1st day raya nye makan, dah naik balik 3 kilo. Pastu tgh malam lak, lepak restoran Al-Masyhur, kat Plaza Pelangi sebab E&Y tutup makan nasik lemak lak.

25/10 - Pagi x wat apa2, tp dlm kul 11 grak majidee, beraya umah Pakcik Leman, tok mudim. Dia ni dulu ar yg ’sunatkan’ Along aku dulu2. Pastu umah Tok Pati lak, x brapa jauh dari Param Kg Mlayu. Pastu lunch umah arwah Ayah Cik kat Taman Molek. X pernah lg aku masuk kawasan ni. Pastu mlm lak grak umah Pak Long. Makanan x sempat masak, so makan ar ayam KFC sorang seketul 2. Pastu midnite, layan cite Diva Popular lak kat Pelangi Leisure Mall. Klaka memang klaka, tp lawak suma mcm biasa je. Tapi mmg klaka, bila sapa tu spiking london. Ni kalo Rais Yatim tgk movie ni, mmg kena fire nye, sebab x menggunakan tatabahasa dgn betul. Pas abis show, grak Wong Ah Fook, kazen aku sorang lagi nak carik CD lagu. Pastu lepak minum teh tarik & makan maggi goreng. Meldrum Walk cam xde apa2 je. Danga Bay lagi stim. Dah makin pesat membangun aku tgk Teluk Danga ni, dah byk dia extend aku compare dgn last year.

26/10 - Ramai dah mula balik, so umah Tok pun dh mula lengang. Kalo tahun2 seblumnya, siap kena tdo kat porch atas lantai, dialaskan dgn suratkhabar, tahun ni siap bleh pilih, nak tdo dlm bilik ke atau ruang tamu. Ingat lg penah skali, penah tdo kat porch, siap tegolek bwh kete lg. Pastu ada gak ar ramai org dtg beraya umah Tok. Uncle Amer pun dtg, invite kitorang suma wedding anak dia, 16hb Disember nanti. Pastu mlm lepak E&Y pekena teh tarik, pastu lepak CC online sejam. Rasa cam xde mood je nk online, ni tulis blog ni pun x brapa nak ada mood.

27/10 - Ari jumaat, grak pulang ke ibukota. Tapi singgah dulu Kluang umah Mak Teh, dia wat soto. Pas smayang jumaat, baru grak blk umah. Sampai umah seblum kul 700. Pastu grak saji, rindu siut kat saji. Teh singgit dia, even though x brapa sedap, E&Y nye lagi sedap, tapi still lepak gak.

So in the end, aku telah memborong 11 helai baju, 4 helai sluar, spasang kasut n 1 butang baju mlayu sepanjang posa/raya ni. X penah aku shoping sakan camni. Murah rezeki kot. Duit raya lak dpt RM20, last year dpt RM34. Duit raya kluar, this year sama kot dgn last year, bezanya dah ada Budak Peot, so bg ar dia sket duit raya. So kepada sesapa yg ada wat open hse, jgn lupa ye jemput saya. Insyaallah saya dtg. Pasal makanan ni, xde hal nye. Saya pun x pasti ada wat open hse ke x, tapi semalam pun dh ramai gak dtg beraya kat umah. Sedara mara nak dtg xde hal nye, mmg dilayan dgn sebaik2 nye. Yg x menang tangan nak layan, bila satu rombongan sampai 20 orang, datang serbu kat umah. Time tu mmg pening ar nak layan, tapi sronok ar. Bila lg nak menziarah satu sama lain, kalo x time raya. Biasanya kalo nk jumpa sedara mara dekat jauh ni pun, time orang kawin, time orang sakit terlantar kat spital atau ada orang meninggal.

-Camana boleh ada damansara kat JB ni? Damansara Aliff????-

semalam aku dgn mak aku telah memulakan operasi membuat kuih raya tepat pukul 930 pg. walaupun aku dgn muka ngantuk aku, layan bola kat saji sampai kul 2 mlm smlm, tp stil maintain gak tlg mak aku. kalo mak aku yg suruh wat keje, mmg aku x keberatan langsung nk ikut ckp dia. maklumlah, syurga di bwh tapak kaki ibu, so smentara dia masih hidup ni, kenalah berbakti kat dia, jgn bila org yg kita syg dh xde, baru kita menyesal x sudah.

so kuih raya yg turun-temurun kitorang buat ni, diberi nama ‘chocolate rice’, tapi kalo nama dlm bahasa melayu nye, diberi nama kuih ’sarang semut’. tp mostly kita panggil dgn nama english nye je lah. patut this year, mak aku malas nak buat, tapi di atas permintaan kak normi aku, kitorang pun buat gak lah. maybe nak bagi ‘dak man’, husband dia org jerman tu try kuih org malaysia. famili kitorang mmg jenis susah nk disappoint kan org ramai. mcm pintu kete BCS gak ar, patut kos nak repair pintu n cat balik cecah rm1k, tapi mak aku kerana sikap kejiranannya, setel camtu je. sampai skrang ada design kropok kat pintu tu. 1 of a kind weh.

seingat aku, dari time aku kecik, mak aku mmg expert buat kuih ni. dari aku skolah rendah, x posa lg time tu, dh tlg mak aku kat dapur. sambil makan bahan2 dia mentah. sedap weh walaupun dimakan mentah2. nak prepare bahan2 utk kuih raya ni, nak gaul sampai sebati kejap je, yg lamanya nk tunggu dia membakar dlm oven. resipi nye, xde lak aku nk mintak kat mak aku, tapi dari pemerhatian aku, butter 1 buku, telur 2 bijik, tepung ada 2 jenis tepung, nestum, ada vanila essence tu 1 sudu n sebagai pelengkap nye nanti, chocolate rice.

so after gaul bahan2 tu sampai sebati, then masuk lak dalam mesin yg ‘tembak’ kuih tu. acara ‘menembak’ pun aku gak yg wat. biasanya dari 1 buku butter tu, bleh ar dapat ~70 bijik kuih. tupun setelah ditolak aku reserve yg mentahnye. serius sedap weh makan mentah2. pastu masuk dlm oven ~30 minit, maka siaplah kuih tersebut.

so sedar x sedar, tinggal sminggu lagi seblum umat islam menyambut bulan syawal atau lebih tepatnya Aidil Fitri. aku rasa persiapan aku dh complete kot. semalam gak shoping lg seround, ada warehouse sale kat terminal 3 subang airport lama. murah gila siut barang2 dia. aku rasa cukup lah shoping utk raya kali ni, tapi bila dh blk JB nanti, mana tau jumpa baju lawa2 ke, sambar gak selai dua nanti. songkok x sure, nak beli ke x. songkok ada 2 skrang ni, still bleh dipakai. oh lupa, zakat fitrah blum bayar lg. hehe.

so aku rasa, inilah last blog aku utk bulan posa ni. aku teringin nak wat cite pasal arwah deputy, tp x sempat lg. hopefully, bleh ar sempat aku post seblum raya ni. so kalo x sempat, aku di sini ingin mengucapkan Selamat Hari Raya dan Maaf Zahir Batin kepada semua org yg aku kenal. kepada geng2 gagak, camana aku nk mintak maaf kat korang ar? kepada anakku, thanx for the kad raya. papa still mencari2 mama baru utkmu. kepada kawan2 ss3ku, kawan yg still sanggup lepak dgn aku, walaupun aku skrang adalah ‘penjenayah’, kalo aku wat open hse rumah baru, aku xkan lupa jemput korang nye. n aku berazam utk turun main futsal kamis mlm jumaat lepas raya nanti, x kisah ar kul 12 ke apa ke. kesian korang, xde keeper berpengalaman.

so ahad ni, insyallah aku dgn parents aku akan gerak JB naik kete DUG4. harap2, dapat ar merasa murtabak singapore, otak2 gelang patah, mee rebus haji wahid, air katira n semua lah, makanan johor yg fames. aktiviti raya pun, aku rasa sama gak kot seperti tahun2 lepas, smayang raya, g rumah MB Ghani Othman, g Istana Sultan Johor, then kalo sempat g Istana Tengku Mahkota Johor. pastu beraya rumah sedara mara kat JB, kat sentosa, kg melayu majidee dan byk lg. posa pun cite pasal makanan, raya pun cite pasal makanan. haha. aku x taulah aku sorang je ke, atau rakyat Malaysia mmg asyik je dgn makanan. lepas raya nanti, sure byk opeh house. last yr, rekod kejohanan hidup aku, 5 open hse dlm masa sehari. tu pun kul 10 mlm, patut grak open hse lg 1, tapi serius dh x larat nak makan2 lg.

-Menjelang hari raya, berakhirnya puasa, bergema takbir senja menyambut syawal tiba. Suasana riang ria, terlihat sini-sana, menyeri malam raya terhias indah rupa. Cantik berseri-seri tua dan muda, berpakaian serba baru. Sungguh meriahnya miskin kaya pun turut bergembira. Selamat hari raya Aidilfitri mulia, semoga berbahagia hidup aman sentosa-

Memang kenangan yang terindah lah isnin malam selasa aritu. Sebuah kenangan yang bakal terukir abadi dalam diriku. Hari ku bermula mcm biasa je. G keje, blk keje, bukak posa suma mcm biasa seperti mana hari2 posa weekday aku yg lain. Cuma aku dpt rasakan trafik kurang sket arini, sebab Selangor cuti ari Selasa menyambut Nuzul Al-Quran, so maybe ramai yg take leave aritu.

Malam tu jugak, Budak Peot ada gak dtg dlm kul 1015. Sempat ar main2 dgn dia jap. Sempat ar dia main ludah2 lak dgn aku. Esok pagi baru aku tau, yg dia lapar, thats why dia main ludah2. Then kul 1045 gerak ar Saji mcm biasa gak, cuma x biasa nye Aizat sorang je tgh melepak. Biasa dh ramai lepak time skrang. Yelah seblum tu sms, mcm ramai je yg lepak. So sampai2, minum teh singgit mcm biasa, sapkok mcm biasa gak. Dah tunggu kejap, barulah dak2 yg lain sampai.

Dah lepak lama sket, kutuk2 org sebab majlis berbuka posa dak2 SS3 yg x berjaya dianjurkan dgn bermacam2 alasan yg diberikan. Pastu dedee pun sampai. Katik yg kol aku kul 11, pun x nmpk byg lg, so aku dgn dedee pun grak ar nak main snuker. Seblum tu iqbar dgn amir, aizat dgn ijlal dah gerak dulu bertarung, sementara tunggu apa plan utk mlm tu. Sampai2 je kedai, mmg ada beberapa kerat org yg tgh ‘tung po’. Aku yg dh 2 tahun rasanya x main, mlm seblum tu baru je kalah dgn lokman, sajalah main, sebab suka2, mengisi masa lapang.

1st frame aku mng, 20+ poin rasanya, aku masuk blue terus off. 2nd frame, dedee tgh leading x sampai 10 poin, tiba2 ada mamat naik kedai tu, mintak IC. dia kata "Polis ni, mintak IC". time tu lbh kurang kul 12. kitorang pun blank ar. asal tiba2 mintak IC ni? pastu dia angkat IC, then dia suruh turun bwh. mmg tgh blank lg ni. pastu kat bwh, barulah nmpk brother pakai vest polis n beberapa mata2 gelap tgh soal siasat n tgh menulis apa tah atas kertas. pastu kena lecture lah sket, bulan posa lah, x baik melepak, kedai ni xde lesen lah, boleh membunuh pakai cue snuker lah, kedai snuker biasa kena rompak lah apa lah.

Lepas dia dah buat head count, n bilangan IC pun match, dia suruh gerak g balai polis KJ. time ni lagi aku blank, apa kes lak ni? g je lah. berani kerana benar, bukan ada wat salah apa2 pun. takat main snuker, bukan berjudi ke tanik ke isap dadah ke apa ke. n 1st time gak lah, naik van polis yg kaler biru tu. mmg cam org bersalah je. dh ar naik dgn muka2 criminal, sebab yg biasa lepak kedai tu adalah org sabah, sarawak, indon suma. total 11 org kena tahan kat kedai tu mlm tu.

Sampai je balai KJ, dia suruh naik atas, masuk ar bilik miting diorang kot. sampai2 je, dh ada 1st batch yg tgh melepak, ni baru geng2 melayu suma ada. diorang pun ckp, tgh main snuker dh kena cekup dgn polis. main kat crimson katanya. time tu kul 1230 rasanya. so tunggu lah sorang2 nye turn, bagi butir2 diri, seperti dok mana, keje apa, kete apa bwk suma. pastu yg paling x tahan, kena amek gambar mugshot. siap ada nombor, n aku nye nombor 381. mmg xleh lupa weh, nombor tu. mmg cam criminal betul lah. then sejam berikutnya, masih blum setel, dtg lg 3rd batch. ni suma macha lak, geng deva kot. sorang siap ada tattoo burung merak. then sorang kena gari weh, dia ckp ini org wanted ni, nk masuk lokap terus ke apa?

Pastu dlm kul 145, barulah dpt bebas. mula2 kata nak urine test, tp lepas je. pastu kol Katik, suruh dtg amek kat balai. rupa2 nya, dak2 tgh lepak kat jalan 222 tgh mkn nasik lemak. pastu grak ar sana, join diorang makan nasik lemak gak. rasanya nasik lemak kat seapark tu lg best kot. sampai2 je, wat mcm xde benda berlaku. wat mcm aku dgn dedee baru abis main snuker 7 frame. mula2 ingat nk berahsia dgn dak2, tp nanti pecah gak mulut. so baik aku cite dulu kat sini, setelah mendapat persetujuan ramai, seblum keluar cite2 yg lg x elok. so pasni, bila lepak, tukar persoalan lak, "Apa plan?" kepada "Apa kes?" XD

-Bila yg tertulis utkku, adalah yg terbaik utkmu, kan ku jdkan kau kenangan yg terindah dlm hidupku-

minggu ke-2 bulan ramadhan n dapatlah sket merasa kehangatan posa n bahang nak raya ni. sabtu aritu ada gathering bukak posa kat ciken hartz times sqr. rasa mcm annual event lak kan? anyway hari aku bermula seawal kul 930 apabila mak aku kejut suruh ambil kakak kat sg way. kul 930 pun LDP dah jam? gila ke hapa korang ni. tido lah elok2 kat umah. bukan keje pun aritu.

tapi at least malam tu, dapat gak ar merasa aiskrim MCD choco top kat ss15. dh lama x merasa kenikmatan aiskrim tersebut. last pun masa slalu lepak midvaley tgk wyg midnite. dh 2 tahun rasanya aktiviti tu stop mcm tu je. then mlm tu lak, hampir kantoi dgn polis main mercun sambil tgk kapal terbang berlepas kat ara damansara. ingat lagi last year baling mercun kat terowong LDP kat uptown tu, tp x meletup. haha. dh ar ada kamera dalam tunnel tu, n dah lah aku yg tgh bwk kete. kantoi sia2 je. at least xde ar sambil main mercun dlm kete, tiba2 mletup lak dlm kete. so far 2 insiden dilaporkan, di mana kete dedee dgn kete lokman jd mangsa.

so back to the saturday event. acara shoping2 n acara makan2. haha. apa lg nak cite weh bulan posa ni, kalo bukan 2 aktiviti ni kan? anyway aku sempat g jln masjid india n blakang jln TAR. kul 4 pun, crowd dia punya ramai mcm pasar malam, x pun mcm lg 30 minit nk buka posa. kalo mlm pun, ramai gak manusia dtg sini shoping. in the end, aku cuma beli butang baju mlayu, x jd nk beli songkok. jalan2 sogo, ingat cambest je, tp x brapa best la pulak baju2 nye. xpe, duit bleh rollover sampai jumpa yg best. or maybe sambung beli belah kat JB, walaupun plaza angsana konfem tutup sminggu.

pastu grak ar times sqr dlm kul 6, dgn hasrat nk bukak posa kat ciken hat bufet dgn rege rm18. baru kul 6, dia nye queue dh mcm ular. pastu bratur punya bratur, dh sampai pintu masuk, meja suma dh full. kecewa gila weh. haha. sampailah waktu berbuka, xde gak meja kosong. pastu kitorang yg smokers, gerak beli air jap n proceed kt luar n berbuka dgn asap. pastu dh setel, grak blk, penuh lg. in the end, dpt gak ar masuk, tp dh kul 8 lebih sket. tu pun sebab kitorang ramai dlm 11 orang, kalo 2-4 orang, senang dh dpt meja, tu yg kena tunggu lama.

pastu makan lah apa lg. total aku rasa, 3 ketul ayam, 10 ciken wing, 10 ciken tender, ciken sup, aiskrim n brapa gelas air oren tah aku bedal. makan punya makan, borak punya borak, adalah sampai kul 930. ingat nk sambung kat hartamas, layan otak2 lak, tp x jd. mata aku pun dh berat gila, tdo 5 jam je mlm seblum tu.

pastu mcm biasa, lepak saji sat, layan bola. x sampai 15 minit layan, dgn game yg hambar gile, baik blk ar. tdo lg best kt umah. so ada 2 minggu lagi utk raya. macam2 aktiviti lg bleh susun rasanya.

The holy month of Ramadhan is well into its 1st week now. and u can see the subtle changes in evryday muslim’s life. more ppl r turning up to work wif sleepy n red eyes, which includes me, but i guess the effects of watching the football matches in the wee hours of morning is the cause. unlike other ppl who stayed up all nite long to pray n do other things which is sunat to gain more pahala.

1st of all for me, my sleeping schedule has changed dramatically during this month. nowadays i feel tired as early as 10pm on weekdays. n then i woke up at 4.30am to have the sahur. i did tried to stay up until its time to go to work, but my body is too tired. so had to go back to sleep, until 655am. now it took me only 1/2 an hour to get ready to go to work. thats y i ended up at my workplace around 820am which is a record in itself.

now no more taking breakfast at work. heck i saved a lot during this ramadan month. i spend on average rm2-rm5 only per day, as compared to rm10-rm15 previously. berbuka puasa is already bought by my parents. breaking fast is a feast for the eyes n stomach. after a day of fasting, the body is recharged to its fullest. but in damansara, the border between PJ n KL is so close. if i go to pizza hut in tmn tun, can be considered as in KL territory already, can break fast 1 minute earlier sometimes.

n the 1 thing that amazes me, is how i managed to curb my smoking behaviour during this month. i dont feel the urge to light up evry now n then. its a plus sign for me, hope i can stop it totally. but i dont know whether my body will have any adverse effects after withdrawing myself from the nicotine addiction. because of that, my body temperature can fall down rapidly hence the need for a sweater. n no more calories to burn or cigarettes to light up my body to keep hot.

but during the weekend, normal service is resumed. lepaking is still a favourite pastime. watching live football matches like always. wateva itis, saji is still the port for all of us ese’s in our barrio. so i wish the best of luck to bashir who owns the saji restaurant n 3 other branches, 1 in damansara perdana, 1 in ampang n another 1 i forgot where itis. thanx for not increasing the price of f&b there n thanx for the projector which shows most of the live football matches. thanx to ali for making my rm1 teh tarik evry nite without fail n for his prediction on football results which is 80% correct for most of the time. thanx to the abe kelate who makes my nasik goreng cina nasik lebih + telur mata very splendidly which includes a complimentary big bowl of sup kosong. thanx to sheikh who makes the occasional roti naan wif mint sauce n for teaching us a couple of Tamil languages.

hope i can become a better person after 1 month of fasting. fasting teaches all of us to be patient, to remember the struggles of the poor who dont have food ready on their table each time. even 1/2 of the world’s population spends less than USD2.00 per day which is a pity considering the worlds wealth which is to be shared all around. so much for my pre-raya shopping. i can see that the shopping complex is more packed than usual at pyramid n the curve last wiken. n its definitely gonna pickup nearing the holidays.

so mcd buffet rm19, any takers??? or maybe sheraton subang for rm80++ wif my neighbor jaafar onn. eat all u can eat n eat till u drop.

-there r 2 joys of life to those who fast, the joy of breaking fast n the joy of meeting God the Almighty-

P.S. when r we gonna go to behind Jalan TAR for shopping? or we could simply go there at midnite to eat keropok lekor n then go back home like last year. XD

bulan puasa datang lagi. seperti mana2 bulan yg lain. masa dirasakan amat cepat berlalu. rasa macam last year punya puasa pun baru je lagi. tapi yg aku ingat, last year puasa slalu ujan time ptg. asal nak g param je, mesti ujan. kesian org tua aku. n kesian gak kat aku, sebab mengidam air jagung kat param klana jaya, tapi ujan x ujan, redah je.

haha. sedap gile air jagung dia. rm2, plastik besar, aku rasa besar 1 jag, slamba je aku abiskan. makanan yg lain biasa org tua aku dh beli siap2. menu biasa: nasik, ayam, otak2, murtabak, donut dan macam2 lagi. rasa mcm last year slalu gak bukak posa makan kfc, mcd. ada skali bukak posa bufet mcd kat shah alam dgn dak2 upm. x ingat nye kenyang makan bege. then skali gak ciken hat kat time sqr. ni lak kenyang makan ayam dgn ciken wing.

pastu rasanya ada gak bukak posa kat concorde shah alam ke sheraton subang. dh x brapa ingat. yg kat kelana seafood tu dgn umno tu bukak posa gak ke? x brapa ingat ar. then skali kat umah MB Selangor, siap dapat kain pelikat cap gajah. murah rezeki time posa. skrang port param pun sudah tukar, kena g taman tun nye param. x tau lah cikis2 nye cantik, tertarik, menarik, daboom macam yg kat kj nye.

lgpun aku x brapa kenal sgt org tmn tun ni. sedara aku jelah yg aku kenal dok sini. xde nak teserempak dgn muka2 familiar lah kot kat tmn tun nye param. kalo kat kj nye last year, slalu lah ‘tenampak’ muka2 familiar mahupun gadis2 pujaan dahulu kala. ada je muka yg kenal kalo grak param kj. lagipun aku biasa grak param ni, x sampai 15 minit pun. sebab dah tau apa nak dibeli, gerai punya position pun dh tau. xde pk panjang nak beli barang nye.

so malam 1st day posa, kitorang g yam cha kat haji don alley kat hartamas. makan puas gak ar. fish n chip, murtabak ayam special, sate, mee rebus, kuey teow. big bos blanja. so miss ar 1st day terawih. hikmah smayang trawih 1st day yg aku ingat, ibarat bayi yg baru lahir, suci dari dosa suma. then cam biasa gak, lepak tgk bola meja paling depan skali dgn dak2. tgk team aku, betapa struggle nak menang, tapi akhirnya seri je. itu pun dah kira bersyukur ar sebab seri. pastu balik rumah layan COH sampai sahur kul 430. memang x rasa weh masa berlalu bila layan main game.

aku sahur ni lemah sket nak makan berat2. 4 suap nasik je dgn lauk ayam n air kosong 2 gelas. pastu tido bgn kul 11. then usha uptown dgn tmn tun jap; g bank n carik barang sket. ingat nk g OU atau the curve malas ar pulak. tunggu sale nak dekat2 raya baru shoping lagi ar kot. then kul 4 operasi param bermula. kalo ikut parents aku, mmg diorang biasa g awal sebab x ramai org. so tertunai lah hajat nak air jagung ni. so buka posa dgn nasik putih, ayam goreng, roti boom, otak2, kopok lekor n the 1 n only air jagung. suma sumbat dlm tank yg tinggal suku je lg.

ni baru 1st day, kebetulan hari ahad lak tu. x tau lah time keje nanti camana. jadual tido suma kena rombak blk. jadual mkn, jadual lepak, jadual main futsal, jadual pak tor etc. so kepada warga2 mesia yg beragama islam, semoga tabah menghadapi bulan posa yg mencabar. byk nafsu kena sekat, mata kena jaga, mulut kena tapis, nafsu nak korek hidung, nafsu nak isap rokok etc. tahun ni x tau ar buat kuih raya sarang semut ke x. n tahun ni gak maybe balik raya kat tampin rasmikan rumah atuk yg baru.

-Barangsiapa yang memberi buka kepada orang yang berpuasa, maka ia mendapat pahala seperti orang yang berpuasa itu tanpa mengurangi pahala orang itu sedikit pun-

camana nak stat ar? ada 3 benda skali nak crite. haha. biasa 1 topik, 1 tajuk, tapi ni 3 topik, 1 tajuk, 1 blog. hehe. senang cite, ari jumaat malam lepas aku dgn dak2 ofis g main boling kat OU as part of our Sports Club nye aktiviti dari kul 8-10mlm. aku ni dah lah pengkau main benda alah ni.

rasa2 ada kat 20 orang gak ar attend, tapi yg main nye hanya dlm 15 orang. ada yg bawak famili, ada yg datang tengok je, ada yg memang betul2 semangat nak main, aku rasa aku kategori yang datang saja suka2 nak main, saja nak have fun sambil bermesra dgn rakan sejawat.

kebetulan lak tv3 pun ada organise bowling tournamen. yg aku prasan ada Shamsul Ghau Ghau, Cat & Eiya dari Mentor. kan lagi best kalo ada Yasin, CT atau Zainal ke. aku nye skor after 2 game kitorang main average around 80-90 je. aku rasa dari dulu pun skor camni gak. ada sesapa bleh ajar aku main boling x? anyway malam tu, highest skor, abang nik dengan 216. mak ai. power sial. SB yg main seblah lane aku pun power gak. 170 skor dia. dia nye jin sudah masuk dalam badan malam tu. haha.

pastu abis je boling lepak kat devis corner kat bangsar. dah janji nak jumpa member2 lama upm, 3 dara pingitan. sesuai weh nama tu utk korang betiga. camana korang suma bleh maintain kecik & comel ar? aku punya lapar, diorang blum sampai aku dah bedal dulu megi goreng spinggan. sori weh, x ikut adab majlis, tapi perut mesti bagi servis dulu. haha. tunggu korang lambat sgt.

n seperti biasa, bangsar still port anak2 muda clubbing. kalo nak tgk gadis2 mlayu yg seksi, lepak ar sini. aku rasa last lepak sini pun masa ‘pak toh’ dengan Noraini, dak salak slatan. tu tahun lepas punya cite tu. apa cite dia tah? last aku dgr dia selalu hangout kat Gazebo, Subang, tapi xkan aku nak g carik dia kot. tah2 dah kawin cam rina dgn laili. nombor fon pun sudah tukar.

so sabtu pagi lak, ada tournamen kat Kompleks Rakan Muda kat Puchong, atas sket dari IOI Mall. kitorang masuk kategori under-25. n aku kena admit aku terasa tua weh. tahun ni dah 25, next year dah xleh masuk tournamen Rakan Muda lagi. haha. ada 15 group, 1 group 3 team. so tunggu punya tunggu, padahal dah sampai sana kul 830, tapi kitorang dapat main kul 1115.

n seperti biasa kalah 1-0. aku rasa team kitorang lack of long shots. kalo ada katik, bleh ar dia rembat, tapi kalo kena tingkap kat blakang court ni, memang berderai ar. kat masjid tu dah berapa kali tingkap pecah. aku rasa byk gak aku save, as long as bukan bola leret, bleh ar aku reflex laju. kalo bola bawah, lembap sket ar. bak kata faris, 2.36 saat reflex time aku. n jari aku tepleot lagi abis game, kali ni xleh bengkok abis. dah sama besar dah jari kecik aku dgn jari manis. nasib tangan kiri, tapi efek gak ar.

pastu lepak subang ria, makan kuey teow. memang wajib kalo lepak sini makan kuey teow. sambil cuci mata. pastu g atria angkat game Company Of Heroes. lama siut x main game, tapi disebabkan GameSpot bagi rating 9.0, aku x pk panjang ar nak beli game ni. eh ok ar. sambung layan COH dulu…

-Control the Company which Changed the History-

I was compelled to write this piece after watching the movie ‘An American Haunting’, which did have its scary moments. But more of a ’shock’ moment than anyting else. My perception of American ghost stories has changed after watching it. Before this, only Jap/Korea/Thai/Indon movies really did capture the emotion n thrill of experiencing the supernatural. Plus the depiction of ghosts in these Asian movies, is similar to the ghosts that most of us can relate to.

Little girls, woman with long hair, little baldy boy. All these are the ingredients of making an Asian horror movie that draws me in. n i must say after watching lotsa of horror movies, the scariest has to be ‘Darkwater’, especially the part where ‘Ikucha’ reveals herself inside the lift, going towards her ‘mommy’ all covered in slime n mud. i think my heart must have stopped for a few seconds watching the scene. coming in close second, is ‘Ju-On’ the original, n not the Sarah Michelle Gellar movie. the sound of the little kid is unbearable at times. then in 3rd place could well be to an American movie, ‘It’ by Stephen Hawkings, which strays a bit by having a clown as the ghost.

there is also a movie called ‘Entiti’, a compilation of ‘captured-on-tape’ showing acts of supernatural beings at work. it is where, ‘contestants’ were paid to sit down at haunted places all over Indonesia. those who ’survive’ the whole nite would win cash award. that is where they put in special cameras to record the contestant and their surroundings. some of them seems so real n authentic, some of them might be fake, while others are definitely fake without giving a second thought. i only remember vaguely of this movie. few scenes i still recall, especially at the tunnel, where a ghost appeared at the of the tunnel with the ‘contestant’ shouting "Mas, tolong mas!!!". there is also another part, where a guy was sitting in a kitchen, then ’sumting’ pass by the window n then stopped for a while n stares at him. i had trouble sleeping for few nites after watching it.

well actually, i dont have much of a first-hand experience dealing with ghosts. there was this one time, during one of my camping trips in primary school as a Pengakap boy, we went to some jungle i forgot where itis. it was at nite, but before that our teacher had warned us not to shine our torchlights to the top of the trees. so there was i wif a fren of mine, defying the warning. so we did flashed the light at the top of this 1 tree, n my god we saw the most reddish, burning eyes we could have ever seen. the figure was black so i cant tell exactly wat it was. we were speechless, n as an advise from old folks, we shud never talk about it, once we see it. so we just proceed back to camp, then only me n my fren started talking bout it. n he did saw exactly the same thing as i did. lucky it didnt follow us back or anyting like that.

then there is also this 1 nite at my old house in SS3. i think i was coming back from lepaking. it was quite late at nite. as usual, i park outside of our house. n as i was walking to the gate, i heard this noise of a child crying coming from the vacant house in front of our house. then i proceed cautiously to lock the gate n quickly get inside my house, without even taking a peek at the house. my frens did confirm hearing the same sound of a baby crying coming from that house also. this house has been vacant for quite some time. if ever there was a tenant, they wouldnt stay for long for some reason. but my neighbour’s experience is more horrifying. she saw first-hand a pontianak sitting on top of the tree inside the house 1 fateful nite, and have fallen sick for a couple of days.

wat can i say, ss3 is quite ‘keras’. u cud hear footsteps in the alley behind our house, dogs barking wildly in the middle of the nite n so forth. a neighbour was also found crying while playing the swing after the maghrib call for prayer. he said he saw sumting n he was possessed for a while after that. then there was also dedee’s house story. where suddenly there was a blackout in the house, then the noise of ‘batu lesung’ hammering away coming from the store of the house. then he did mention like he was using his PC wif the windows n wif the curtains closed, but then the next thing he knew, the window n curtain was wide open.

we also tried our luck by visiting some famous sites of sightings of these ghostly spirits all around Klang Valley. last time the favorite spot was a house on top of Kenny Hill aka Bukit Tunku near the Pengasih house, but then it was closed down. there was also the Frenzy’s House in Ulu Klang near the zoo there. then there was the remains of the collapsed of the infamous Highland Towers, Krayong cemetery near Mid Valley, Botak Chin’s house in Seksyen 16, White House in Shah Alam, abandoned hostel near Jalan Semarak and a few others which i cant recall. but each time we went, we returned empty except for the thrill of visiting these places n the occasional sweat n the ‘meremang bulu roma’. im sure if indeed we saw sumting, then it will probably bring us to the next level of excitement n thrill-seeking.

but thank god also, we did not see anyting of it. actually there had always been another plane of existence, which is called the ‘alam ghaib’. only certain people was blessed or rather cursed, that they could see the other plane. so lets just keep it that way. hope we all can live in peace n harmony n do not disturb each other in this life or after. amen…

jari terkehel, siku tepleot, lutut berdarah, keting teseret. ini semua tepaksa ku tanggung setelah selesai main tournamen Liga Komuniti anjuran YB Dato’ Wong Sai Hou, ADUN Kg Tunku bertempat di Sports Barn, Seksyen 14. Dgn team yg diberi nama PJU 2, layak gak ar masuk 2nd round. kira boleh lah.

memang ramai gak umat manusia pada pagi tu. tapi lebih ramai team cina dari mlayu, maybe sebab partly MCA yg organise. so budak2 UMNO ni pun ada gak ar beberapa team yg aku nmpk. then team macha pun, bleh tahan ramai gak ar. actualy tournamen ni stat kul 830. kitorang antar 2 team. tapi bila kitorang sampai2, game dah nak stat dah. inilah dia, komitmen yg lacking. kata kumpul kat padang kul 730, tapi? memang ngam2 ar 5 orang je yg baru sampai kat Spot Barn ni seblum match stat.

lama siut x main kat sini, masa baru2 blaja main futsal, sinilah port kitorang. main dgn Azri Kaki Kiri, rembat dia power gila, sampai bengkak jari aku save walaupun dah pakai glove. then kat sini gak ar, save pakai kelengkang, kena rembat kat tengkuk dan bemacam2 lagi kenangan. so team PJU 1 main ar dulu 1st game diorang. lawan team budak2 baru abis SPM pun bleh kalah 3-1??? padahal team diorang ni adalah paling balance compared dgn team PJU 2.

so our game is next, tapi opponent lak x dtg. so walkover 3-0. pastu rehat jap, rocko wanek sambil tunggu next game. pastu PJU 1 main balik, kalah lagi 4-1. hokeleh. ni apa cite ni weh??? pastu game kitorang lak lawan team mana tah. dah ar diorang baru je sampai. kitorang pun menang 1-0 je, faris skor direct dari freekick. ada 3 key save ar aku wat dlm game ni utk keep clean sheet.

so abis je game, makan lak nasik lemak. suma organiser sponsor. entrance fee dah ar rm10/team je. air 1 karton isotea, yeos punya air isotonik baru kot pun dia sponsor. sedap gak. ada dalam 3/4 tin aku bedal pagi tu. so dalam 1 kumpulan ada 3 team, maka kitorang pun layak ar cup nye 2nd round. pastu 2nd round lawan team Public Bank lak. team diorang ni consists of suma macha, actualy dok seblah kitorang masa kat bench kat luar court ni. so ada ar tegur2 sket. kita pun patut import sorang macha, tapi Mani x datang lah pulak.

awal2 dah kena attack, dan belum apa2 dah kena 2 bijik, seblum kitorang sedar apa yg belaku. pastu 3-0, sampai lah ke 5-0. pastu ekhwan bejaya skor sbijik utk pecah telur. pastu diorang lak skor lagi sbijik straight dari kick-off. haha. time tu suma dah malas nak main dah. aku pun kalo dah ketinggalan 2/3 bijik, teammate suma cam dah xleh blah, so aku pun dh x full blast ar.

so overall ok ar kot, game kitorang. kitorang pun bukan ada natural defender dalam team tu. suma offensive nye player. so bolos byk tu xleh ar disalahkan sgt. n tournamen pun aku rasa bejalan lancar, even though ramai dari berbilang bangsa dan agama apatah lagi bahasa. xde ar nak gaduh2 ke apa ke. suma main hepi je.

so next weekend ada lagi 1 tournamen kat puchong lak. then malam tu karaoke 5 jam lak. haha. suma ni sebab nak bantai before puasa ar. dah stat puasa ni, payah sket ar nak wat aktiviti2 mcm ni.

haha. glove rm30. puma. saiz 7. baru angkat kat pyramid last wiken. mana ilang glove umbro putih lama aku pun aku x tau. ingat lg aku jumpa kat sports barn ada 1 malam tu. tahan stahun gak ar. last skali bagi pinjam kat sapa tah. kira wakaf je ar.

time g bayar kat cashier Studio R pun, cashier tu tanya "Betul ke saiz ni bang? Dah test dah?" haha. nampak sgt tangan aku ni kecik. yg paling kecik pun saiz 6. saiz 7 pun, ada 1 je, tu yg aku trus angkat. aku ada perasan Abang Nasrul keje kat Studior R ni. tapi aku pandang dia, dia macam x berapa prasan aku je. dulu dia ni supervisor aku, masa keje kat Metrojaya tahun 1997, time tu baru abis form 4. haha. kecik2, aku dah blaja keje. time tu dapat gaji, rasa best gila.

so malam tadi game kul 9-11 kat spot planet sunway 11 court. setelah 2 bulan menghilangkan diri dari arena futsal ni, kembali bermain semula. yelah main biasa malam jumaat nak kul 11-1. pastu lepak punya lepak mau sampai kul 3 pagi. sok nak keje lagi. ni pun balik umah kul 1+. lama gak x merasa main dgn budak2 suma. tapi ramai gak yg x main. biasa ar. bz ke ada hal ke apa ke. memang x dpt dielakkan. aku pun last skali main, masa tournamen kat Spital Assunta. ingat dulu time kita baru2 blaja main futsal. sminggu at least skali nye main. pastu lepas bukak posa pun sanggup lagi main. haha. time tu mmg stim abis.

anyway, skill2 lama masih x dilupakan. aksi2 lama masih steady. aksi ‘ballet’ pun keluar gak smlm. haha. kantoi lak dgn budak2. aku pun bajet mesti klaka nye bila aku wat skill ‘ballet’ tu. smlm pun ada own gol, tapi nasib baik bukan aku keeper. haha. lawan team BCB eh? siap ada jersi lagi diorang ni. kita nye jersi apa cite tah? umur pun diorang ada nampak tua sket ar. ye ar nama pun keje bank. team kitorang, aku lah paling tua smlm. x brapa kedengaran suara aku suruh teammate marking pihak lawan ke apa ke. simpan utk tournamen akan datang kot.

tapi main smlm ok lah, xde nak gaduh2 ke apa ke. nama pun frenly. tapi memang beza ar team diorang dgn team kita. diorang je control game. xde rushing nak shoot ke, bola suma passing kat depan gol, ada peluang then baru shoot. byk gak diorang dpt 1-on-1. n kesilapan biasa team kita ni, bila orang datang dari tepi, aku close down, tengah xde orang jaga player dia, dia square pastu senang je tap-in gol. atas ar xde org. patut kena sorang dok je kat atas. ni kalo suma nak stat dari bawah, susah sket ar team kitorang. peluh pun dah x ingat dunia smlm.

so ahad pagi ni pun ada tournamen lagi eh? Wong Sai Hou, YB tempat aku nye tournamen. menarik gak tu. sronok time tournamen ni. kalo menang dapat duit ke, mesti best. dapat hamper pun jadik lah. yg penting main jgn emosi sgt. biasa ar kalo orang buat salah, tapi jgn ar marah sgt. main ni kena ada fun, baru bleh enjoy main. WORKRAK!!!

lupa lak nk bgtau, tali kasut aku bleh putus??? dedee ar ni, ikat x betul. x penah lagi dlm sejarah tali kasut putus. haha.
