The Other Family

The story begins when i started to join the college comittee. It was January 2006, i have been chosen as the Multimedia & Information Bureau of Perindu Residential College. It was funny at the first time because i was so not into this leadership thing. I was surprised actually to be chosen as one of the college representative comittee. But, what have to be done, must be done. You gotta do what you gotta do.

It was different to have the experience working together organizing programs for the students. I felt a bit awkward at the first time, but as time grows, i'm beginning to love it. It was a lot of challenge actually in being in the leadership field. All the pressure and critics bombarding me made me a better man. There are certain people accusing me of "gila kuasa" and whatsoever. It didn't stop me there. In fact, it made me improve myself. A true friend will support, while the rest condemn. I don't give care about that.

Now after serving the college representative comittee for 2 consecutive years, i found that this is also my family..the other family of course. The motto "Works As Family" has brought a new gateway to myself. If not about the "family", i would not know the meaning of leadership, trust, happiness and love completely. Perindu College Representative Comittee aka JPK Perindu has made me a better man. Thanks again for all.

Adat Dijunjung Tamadun Disanjung

It's been a while since i last updated this blog. I've been very busy this recent couple of months. Completing commitment everywhere...study, college and exams. But now i'm back with limited time of having leisure.

Back to the title. Sounds very traditional malay isn't it? Well, that's the name of the Appreciation Dinner for our college. What made it so memorable to me is that it is the first time in being JPK, i was elected to be the program director. It was a hell of a work. From the beginning until nearing the dinner, it was a big pressure coming all out towards me. Alhamdulillah, the dinner went on very well. It finished on time and everything were going according to the plan. I just wanna say an infinity thanks to all my brothers for the support they showed me. I really appreciate it. It will not be a success without the help from you guys. Thanks again y'all. -JPK 07/08-

What Went Wrong?

I went back to Penang recently. Actually i'm glad to see Rapid Penang buses conquering most of the routes in Penang. Kudos to them in order to improve the public transportation system in Penang. I really think it's a good thing to have them on our side.

5 years ago, i used to be the avid user of public transport. Being a kid with no driving license just made me a loyal customer of buses in Penang. But back then, i felt the public transportation system was a bit sucks. The bus condition sometimes were totally bad. I, once got splashed by the air conditioning water which leaks out of nowhere. Lucky now we have Rapid Penang.

But, i noticed this when i decided to try riding Rapid Penang recently. Having to study in Shah Alam for 3 years, i don't even know what are the bus number and their routes. So, i decided to have a look at the map routes they put at the bus stand...but sadly..this is what i found (refer to picture above). I could not understand at all. Luckily i'm not some tourist who doesn't understand the language at all. What i did was just asked the bus driver. I think somebody has to do something about this. We're Malaysians. Use something that we all could enjoy and understand.

P/S: Please note that this is not the issue of racism. It's just my personal opinion. My free mind's expression. TQ.

The Captain's Rule

I came across this thing when i was having my dinner at the Manhattan Fish Market with my family. It sounds funny but i guess it's just something for us to ponder. This rule is so related to my father, as he is always boarded ships and vessels. He also find it interesting. Hehe.

The Captain's Rule:

Rule No.1

The captain is always right


Rule No.2

If the captain is wrong, see Rule No.1

You Said What?

Last week i went to PWTC for Snap-A-Job Expo. I met a lot of people over there. Sharing knowledge and giving out opinion about working life. It's not easy to get good job nowadays. My advice for all the graduates out there, just don't be too choosy when it comes to job. Snap any job you can find.

Back to the title, as i wandering around the Putra World Trade Centre with my good friend, Muaz, we came along the Pesta Buku signboard. So, we decided to give a visit. There are a lot of booth over there. And guess what, i bought the book. The price, well, tempting enough for me..RM 15.

It's a good book though. The story is all basically about the greatest lies and propaganda throughout the history. Watergate scandal, Incident in Tonkin Gulf, The truth about Cleopatra and many more interesting story. I recommend this book. I don't know the price at other bookstores. But i bought it for RM 15 at the Book Fair.

Demi Cinta

Maaf ku telah menyakitimu
Ku telah kecewakanmu
Bahkan ku sia-siakan hidupku
Dan ku bawa kau seperti diriku
Walau hati ini terus menangis
Menahan kesakitan ini
Tapi kulakukan semua demi cinta

Akhirnya juga harus ku relakan
Kehilangan cinta sejatiku
Segalanya telah kuberikan
Juga semua kekuranganku
Jika memang ini yang terbaik
Untuk diriku dan dirinya
Kan ku terima semua demi cinta

Jujur aku tak kuasa
Saat terakhir ku genggam tanganmu
Namun yang pasti terjadi
Kita mungkin tak bersama lagi
Bila nanti esok hari
Kutemukan dirimu bahagia
Izinkan aku titipkan kisah cinta kita selamanya...

Chelsea vs Malaysia

Malaysia and Chelsea meet again. 29th July 2008 marks the historical date where the Blues beat up Malaysian Squad by 2 goal to nil. It was 7.45pm, me and my cousins are waiting outside Shah Alam Stadium. We can hear the crowd roaring inside the stadium. The atmosphere was very tempting. The moment i got into the stadium, it's already 8 minutes past the kick-off time. Damn we're late.

1st half of the game was quite a one side show. As predicted, Chelsea dominated the entire 1st half show. The 1st goal for Chelsea was from Nicholas Anelka. The goal actually could be avoided, but luck do came in for Anelka.

2nd half promises something great from the Malaysian squad. I can see improvement in Malaysian attacking and defense. But the outcome is just the same as the 1st half. But this time, Ashley Cole managed to put his name on the scoresheet. Malaysia squad seems to nearly put a goal back but only to see Zaquan wasted the chances. Cudicini, who replaced Petr Cech in 2nd half made a blunder by passing straight to Malaysia's striker..but yet another chance goes to waste. Now i can see why Chelsea wants to sold Cudicini. Hehe!

Overall i would say it's a one sided match with Chelsea dominating. But still we have to give credit to Malaysian players. They fought hard and they fought good. 2-0..well..it's a good result. I can see the potential in Malaysian Squad. The potential of becoming one of the strongest competitor in South East Asia. It's just need the right tonic. The end.
