Life of Mr W....

source of picture: internet

Met a friend today yang terjumpa sama-sama masuk kedai and shared the same table for a drink. He is a friend of my friend Mr.T, that I just met for about 45 minutes (maybe less than an hour). I couldn't even recall his name. We shake hand and chat just like normal group of best friends chatting. It happened so fast that I have this "so-called moment of sharing" time with this guy when my other friend, Mr.T need to go out for a while to re-park his car because we parked only behind others car (was thinking at first that we will not stay long for a drink in the coffee house). Let call this friend of Mr.T as Mr.W.... the name wilfred came across my mind when i tried to recall his name....

When Mr.T walk out the coffee house, I totally lost of topics to chat with Mr. W. We are not that close and I just don't know what to talk about. To brake the moment of "angels passing by" a.k.a suddenly both are silence, Mr. W starts the conversation that start with "Apa kerja ko sekarang?". I answered the question and then he ask again. "Masih bujang lagi neh kan?". As usual, I just shake my head up and down and smile. Then Mr.W asked again "Bagus juga tu bujang. Senang mau explore dunia neh. Mmg besar neh dunia..siok kalau dapat pergi bnyk tempat."...And again I just smile and ask him back the same question as above...Nah, here the story starts. This is his answer. "saya kerja sendiri. Kecil-kecil jak", "saya pernah kawen tapi skrg suda divorce..panjang tu cerita.ko pun tidak akan mau dngr tu" and the last answer was "sy baru balik dari UK. Ada hal sikit sana. Minggu lepas di China".

At first, when I heard the "UK" and "China" mentioned, I thought that this guy is really showing off...Annoyed but then, after a period of "ques and answers" time, I'm getting interested with this ambitious guy (only the part on how he stood up after the fallen and the part of how he started to choose the main priority in his life). Sometimes, he does sound "showing-off" , proud of him-self and ada juga la "kata-kata besar" but I just ignore them. His story of "The Rise Of Mr.W" attracted me the most.I felt motivated knowing that there is a real person that really stood up fighting back for his life. Hermm..he is only 31 yrs old, owned a company, traveled overseas and domestic like almost of the day in a week and he used to be the "tidak-guna-punya-laki" (called by his ex-wife) because of unsuccessful business he planned <---itu yang dia cerita la...I laugh so loud when he mocked the way his wife saying "tia guna punya laki!" (with action of fingers)..Sorry for that dude. I laugh when you yourself make fun of your own story..don't get me wrong.by the way, he laughed too...Because of that, the wife left him (asked for divorce) and he return back to his family house.

Luckly for Mr.W, his father and mother are very supportive parent, that they help him financially to start a new business and things went well and he is now handling the company in his age of 30s'. wowww.... another man that I envy. I think Mr.W is very lucky person, eventhough he did babble about how tough is his life he had been through. In some of his words I think he is "complaining" about how bad is the world treating him. This was his last question when all our so-called moment of sharing ended when my friend Mr.T are back to our table..."semua kita ada kelemahan. Kita harus tau kelemahan kita supaya dapat kita baiki dan jadikan sebagai satu bahan yg akan membanggakan kita sendiri..so,what is your next step of life?"...hemm..maybe that is just his style of talking. It's a good question thou.But, when he ask this question, he do really sound like "I am the only the great man who had step on my next level of life and I succeeded when no one else could if they are facing the same thing as mine. Mine is worst and no other man have faced the worst than my journey of life"

Nahhh...if only I have more time with this guy, I will make him realize that the world has treated him a V.I.P service. He shouldn't complaint that much and shouldn't feel regretted. He has fallen down the valley to deep down the sea, and trapped on the fishing net, been brought up back alive on the land and now living life with prosperity. You are very lucky dude compare to others.. It has been nearly 30 years for me and I never felt that I get the things that I work for. I grab whatever come first in my life to survive but then regretted because I never have the chance to sit and wait for other options besides the first one that I choose. I just couldn't understand why should I still feel regretted when I did it to live.hahaha....Mr.W, you should travel more to see how other people struggling in their life. Some are willing to do anything for a slice of bread when you just throw the whole bread when a flies land on edge of your bread on your table. I know that I should, day by day, force myself to believe that in any circumstances, I should be thankful for every single second that I have been through (succeeded or not, lucky or not, I must and should say 'thank you'). Feeling blessed, as if not by HIS grace, I will not be the one as who I am now.

Thank You Lord Jesus...

This is only an advert

I need to choose between this 2 gadget...
either camera or home theatre....or if i can't make any decision, then.....
it could be neither camera nor home theatre....

oh noooooo...i fall in love with LUMIX Panasonic DMC-FT-3 . Haiya.... I blame my eye for seeing this and I blame my brain, for transmitting all the interesting aspect I saw in this compact camera... From outside, it does give a though appearence of design..and YES..judge the camera from outside..It's really a though camera. Designed with Dust Resistant, Freeze Resistant, Shock Resistant and also Water Resistant, what else do you need ??.

12.1 Megapixel Digital Camera with 4.6 x Optical Zoom and 2.7" screen, includes: Movie Function, Image Stabiliser, Inbuilt Flash, 3D and GPS Tagging. Well, this criteria are also found in other camera...What attracted me more is...this "dude" can go deep down the water until 12 meter depth....hah, how i wish i buy this camera before the trip to Mantanani Island. If only i bought it, i have been very proud to show-off all the pictures of the mantanani fishes, coral reefs and the mantanani blue starfish... for sure, you (yes... you who is reading this will be jealous of picture of my blue starfish..wakakakakaka)...kidding.


So, what else do I need ??...for me, it is all ENOUGH...and more than enough.. Tapi...that "kepala agong" made me think about it twice...yayyy

This is another gadget.....Samsung HT-D453K Home Theatre Systems really attracted my eye. With the systems offered and the price, goshhh…it’s temptation… How bad I need to make a choice between these 2 gadget because of that pieces of “coloured paper with written number and kepala agong”

So damn want it to be mine. It offers an interactive karaoke Home Entertainment System and you can stream pictures viewed in High Definition.. I was so tempted with this statement

“Plug a microphone into the convenient jack and you’re ready to strut your stuff; apply echo to your voice to recreate the sonics of a live performance; use the auto-scoring feature to deliver unbiased judgments on your rivals’ efforts. And with USB recordings, you can even listen back to your singing session and decide who truly has the recording voice”

Adeh..deh…if only I have this home, for sure will jimat money from going to KKBox..muahahaha… Besides that, it is designed to deliver a bigger, better bass sound. You can actually feel the bass sound grow more and more powerful on the same speaker system and with the same watt output. Not only that dude... It offer an easy connectivity with USB, whereby you can upload performances you’ve recorded directly to your digital device and share..yay..without any other software from your computer ya….Aduh, if I have this, how I wish i can enjoy all this from the comfort of my couch.

So, what am i suppose to choose?
either camera or home theatre
or it could be
neither camera nor home theatre....

Maybe...
neither camera nor home theatre!!!!!!!!

Mantanani Island..part 1

It was a very last minute planning. We made the confirmation for this trip only nearly about 3 days before the real day of the trip. To make it easy, I google, to find for any tourist agent that can help us arrange our trip. And, yup I found one. We only do all the arrangement through email and once was on the phone. As I mentioned earlier, even though it is a very last minute plan, the trip ended up with a surprisingly result. We do really having FUN and the trip was "FANTABOLOUS"..hehe

As arranged, me, fredy a.k.a Fread and flora a.k.a Florence waited at the Cititel Hotel around 7am. A guy approached us and he lead us to a van. **forget to ask his name. Before we proceed to the jetty, we first, stop by a hotel near Segama area to fetch another tourist that will go together to Mantanani Island. It was only 4 of us in the van, and we felt very comfortable with the space that we have. The journey from KK, took about 1hr 30 mins to the jetty. While in the van, because of the excitement, I couldn't close my eye that I don't want to miss the chance to enjoy the scene all way to the jetty...wowww.... because of the long journey, we use the time to get to know of each other. The driver introduce himself as Azmi and the tourist introduce herself as Zhangjin (she is from China).

From the jetty, the boat will takes about 50minutes (or nearly 1 hr) to Mantanani Island depends on the weather. The sea was not that rough on the day we arrived. So we managed to arrive on the island as scheduled.

these are the picture of the new aliens, arrived in Mantanani Island..who are they and which is which???...ermmm..I CAN SEE YOUUU..... from the left:

Night, Fredy, Flora and Zhangjin

This was out first station. From the Jetty, the boat will take you here before the first session of snorkeling.

The view around the Dugong Beach....

And, she is very fresh when we arrived on the island though not enough of sleep...hahaha..

The first thing we do is "taking pictures". and the "WAJIB/MUST DO" activity when on the beach is...

"SAND JUMPING"...this activity are for free.and you can take as much as you want for the picture and at anywhere you want to..wakakakaka..kidding you.. ;)

Right after that, we wait for our boat to take us for the first session of snorkeling. And..YUPPP...It was MARVELOUS...Snorkeling is really recommended at Mantanani Island. Those who prefer diving, for sure is more recommended (as Azmi told us). When snorkeling I saw the blue starfish, lots of kind of fishes with lots of beautiful stripes....but the only thing is, the sea was very rough on that day. I nearly drowned because of the big wave. To snorkeled with big waves contributes to the tiredness... I don't have the chance to take pictures of the fishes. Lesson to learn = bring along with you camera with water resistant. If you have one, you will be very satisfied with the trip...

see, see and see this...she nearly fainted and vomited while in the sea.
Less sleep + snorkeling + big waves = ended up with sleeping. hahahaha
Then, we decided to check-in first and decided not to join the team for the second session of the snorkeling. We decided to go for free and easy.. the boat took us to our chalet and it is just nearby the Dugong Beach.

Above are the jetty to Bembaran Lodge. Is is a very nice place to stay. The accommodation is just enough for you to have. I will blog about it later. I think this lodge needs more publicity and promotion.

Above picture are our chalet. Though not that spacy, for me, it's all what you need on an island.

Hari Selasa Yang Panas...

Ini adalah kisah 'hari selasa yang panas'...Hari ini memang panas..bukan cerita panas ya, tapi hari ini memang panas.. Okey, seterusnya, ini cerita blog ari ini....

Hari ini, aku terasa macam nak buka akaun simpanan di sebuah bank di Karamunsing. Bank M. Ini cerita betul ya...saja nak kongsi..harap tidak ada mana mana pihak yang ambil hati ya..kalau ada,minta maaf saja la ya...nak selindung tak juga dapat, nanti tambah cerita, bohong jadinya..kerana itu, aku cerita saja apa yang berlaku ya..

Ini ceritanya;

Kawanku mahu ke bank M maka aku juga setuju untuk ikut sebab aku juga ada tujuan untuk kesana. Setelah mendapat parking yang amat sesuai, hati terasa sungguh senang kerana tidak perlulah nak jalan kaki jauh...masuk aku ke dalam, lantas terus aku menuju ke kaunter perkhidmatan pelanggan..kaunter dijaga oleh seorang wanita yang berdandan dengan cantiknya. Umur takpayah la nak teka..

Aku : Maaf miss (dah terbiasa panggil semua wanita/perempuan "miss" sbb lebih baik salah panggil "miss" daripada salah panggil "madam")

Miss A : Yes....

Aku : Saya nak buka akaun disini. Berapa minimum amount saya perlu untuk buka akaun disini?

Miss A : Err...(sambil memandang ke arah sudut pejabat disebelah kiri dia)... Minimum amount adalah RM250..tapi sekarang tak dapat nak buat sebab mesin kami rosak..

Aku : Owhh..jadi tak dapat lah buat hari ini? Bila saya boleh datang lagi?

Miss A : Ermmm....tidak tahu la. Sudah dua hari mesin tu rosak..

Aku : Okey..tak apa lah..terima kasih...

Setelah itu, aku terus 'chow' dari kaunter itu lantas terus ke tempat di mana kawan ku duduk sambil menunggu gilirannya...sedang aku duduk, baru aku terfikir....

"hermm...nak buka akaun simpanan kat sini perlu guna mesin ke? bukan perlu komputer ke? atau yang dia maksudkan mesin tu adalah komputer? tapi tak kan la ada satu saja komputer di sana? rosak mesin ke atau rosak sistem?"

Persoalan ini masi lagi terngiang-ngiang dalam kepala...mesin rosak??

**masih lagi berfikir.......

J.M.J Hepi Birthday.....

source of picture : adopted from picture taken from the internet

Hepi Birthday Jared... Happy Belated Birthday actually Jared.. He is 1 year this year..

Look at him.. soon to be 'orang bujang' in the house.. Interesting about him is, he is a very shy person...errr.. and kind of innocent kid. If you disagree with his action, say "NO" to him and see his response.. hehehe.... looking cute and innocent, he will bend his head downwards, while his eyeball rolling all around his eye... hahaha

when these two are in the house, my mum (which is the grandmother) will get "headache" and always pengsan after babysitting them two. When one of them ask for "susu" , the other one also want. When one of them asking to be carry, the other one will want the same thing. When one of them get into trolley/bike, the other one also want the same thing. Then, you will see, most things/toys in the house will be in pairs. There are 2 bikes, 2 car-toy, 2 puppets, and 2 etc.....

these two are more likely "belangkas"... the sister will say "sayang adik jared"...and the brother will reply "ta..ta..taaa..ta...ta.." (i let you guess what does he mean..) hahaha

This is Jared when i first saw him.. took this photo when his grandma change him after mandi.. **see that, he winked at me..haiyoo.. a sign of a playboy-to-be. wakakakka...why not oo Jared, choose the best when you are ready...hahahha

Jared, Uncle wish you the best in your life. Be a good person and never disobey your dad and mum... Grow taller like your daddy (not like your mum..hahaha) and don't become a 'keras kepala' kid and most important thing, NEVER forget to put Lord in everything in your life...

Kisah Ke Kedai Menjual Ayam....

Ohhhh...hari ini rasanya sangat teringin mau makan KFC. Tadi baru je 'limpas' kedai KFC. Oleh kerana gian sangat nak makan, maka sanggup la Si A parking jauh-jauh kerana dah susah nak cari parking. Maka dengan semangat yang ada pada dirinya, berjalanlah Si A masuk ke kedai KFC dan terus menuju ke kaunter. Si B adalah insan terbabit yang merupakan pelayan perempuan yang menjaga kaunter yang mana Si A dilayan.

Si B : Selamat petang tuan,selamat datang ke KFC. Boleh saya membantu? Tuan nak makan sini ke nak bawa pulang?

Si A : Sy nak "take-away".

Dengan actionnya, Si A bercakap orang puteh sikit..waiseh..ehemmm..hemmm

Si B : Baik tuan, Tuan nak pesan apa?

Si A : One Toasted Pocketful, One Cheezy Wedges with extra cheese, One small coleslaw and 6 pieces mixed chicken.

Waiseh, Si A masi lagi cakap urang puteh walaupun Si B masi bercakap Bahasa Malaysia.

Si B : Terima kasih encik..sila tunggu.

Setelah menerima pesanan dan menunjukkan harga semua makanan, Si B terus membungkus semua pesanan Si A.

Sedang Si B membungkus pesanan Si A, dengan tiba-tiba, Si A terasa tekaknya haus dan dia pun nak order air minuman.

Si A : Miss, nak add-on air minuman..bole?

Si B : Boleh encik..Kami ada Pepsi, 7Up, Mountain Dew atau Strawberry. Dan kami ada coffee utk minuman panas..

Beberapa saat kemudian, Si A pun menjawab..

Si A : One Honey Dew....

Dengan pantas Si B menjawab "Maaf encik, kami tak ada honey dew". Dan tanpa ada apa-apa reaksi Si B menunjukan jenis minuman yang ada dalam stock mereka.

Si A : Tak ada..hemm..bukan tadik..... (tidak habis berkata, baru Si A perasan sesuatu...)


Anda perasan tak?? Si B langsung tidak ketawa dan secara serius dia menjawab "Maaf encik, kami tak ada Honey Dew"....Kemudian Si A hanya ketawa sendirian. Dia hanya menunjuk kearah Air Pepsi dan terus berlalu keluar selepas mendapat makanannya. Si A terus tersenyum sendirian sampailah dia masuk ke dalam kereta.....
