Blue monday

What's with me and cars nowadays?

Baru ni eksiden, tadi nak g keje keta kawan aku kong tengah2 jalan masa que trafik lite nak masuk Jalan Semarak. So close..!! Kalau la sempat sampai kat ofis, senang citer. Nasib baik polis trafik tu tolong tolak keta aku ke tepi jalan. Siap kene marah g dgn dia sebab tekan brek masa dia tolak.. teheheheh... Adoii.... apsal la jadi macam ni...

Bateri tukar, alternator and ntah apa ntah - RM718. Pastu betulkan wiring aircond - RM135. Ala-ala sekelip mata habis RM800 ++. Sian kawan aku, aku faham dia tgh sesak jugak.. Nasib baik claim dah masuk tadi, dapat cover the cost.

What bad karma... i'm sure there r blessings in disguise tho...

Klinik Ortopedik, Hospital Kajang

I took leave today to take my father to the Orthopedic Clinic at Kajang Hospital. Got there 10 minutes before the appointment at 9.00 am. Waited more than 1 hour to get a number.... Another 45 minutes to see the doctor. My poor 85 year old father almost gave up!! So many people waiting....

But the doctors were nice (when we finally get to see them), whats more important is my father is also well enough, considering his circumstances. There were no fractures or compressed bones, but his vertebra is a bit crooked where he always complained of pain. They believe it was caused by his fall from a gaban tree when he was a young father of 2. My father said he fell standing up, i imagine the impact of that fall caused his vertebra to bend. Of course, he did not go the hospital, went to the sing seh instead, but he recovered with their concoction of herbs. So, lots of calcium and vitamins, some painkillers when it start to hurts and another appointment in 6 months.

I felt such relief that my father's well. I'm also again awed by his life experiences. He lived a full life and continue to watch the world go by, not missing a beat. Allah limpahkan rahmat Mu ke atasnya, ibuku dan kaum keluargaku yang telah menemuimu ya Allah. Amin.........

Eksiden yang entah ke berapa kali

Hmmph... Eksiden lagi. Dont get me wrong, bukan la setiap bulan aku eksiden. Tapi ala-ala macam setiap tahun ade jer eksiden, tak kira kecik atau besar. Tahun lepas waja aku kene sondol dengan ganasnyer oleh keta wira yang tak reti bawak pelan di lebuh raya yang under construction. Seminggu gak aku terpaksa pinjam keta kawan.

Tahun ni, pakai keta lain, ingatkan okay la... Tapi mungkin ada betulnya kata orang tua, nak jual keta jangan cakap dalam keta tu!! Nak komplen pasal keta jgn cakap dalam keta tu!! dan yang paling penting, dalam keta, jalan malam, jangan banyak cakap!! apatah lagi cakap pasal eksiden!!

Ek eleh... kebetulan atau suratan.... Itu la yang aku buat the last few months (nak jual keta, dan bila itu tak jadi, nak make-up keta) dan malam kelam itu, aku dan kawan aku bercerita pasal eksiden yang pernah orang lain dan kami alami. And BAMM!!! aku eksiden!!! Di Karak highway, km75 selepas tol Lebuh Raya Pantai Timur, hala ke KL. Perdana yang aku bawak lost control di selekoh tajam dalam keadaan jalan basah, walaupun aku tak bawak laju.... Suspen siot!!! Aku dah tau aku akan langgar something, cuma tak tau apa n how bad it will be. Sempat bagitau kawan aku soh be carefull, and just wait for the end..........

Alhamdulillah, aku n kawan aku okay, sakit2 badan je terhentak sana-sini. nasib baik keta tu besar, cabin okay, tapi luar keliling keta remuk, cermin pecah etc... keta aku tersadai dalam parit selepas merempuh tebing. Nasib baik tak laju, kalau tidak impaknyer tentu lebih kuat dan kerosakan lebih teruk, silap haribulan kerosakan orangnyer pun lagi teruk..

Aku rasa as if time expand masa kejadian tu... split second, tapi my mind was so clear... I think its true that your whole life could flash before your eyes dalam keadaan seperti itu.... Dah 2 minggu aku terpaksa pinjam keta kawan aku... Dan rasanya mungkin 2 minggu lagi baru boleh dapat keta tu balik... I will appreciate u more my darling keta bucuk.... No more talk of selling you off... maybe we'll even grow old together...

Earth Hour

Okay... solidarity in showing support for the earth - switch off the lights for one hour on 28 March 2009. Nice, laudable etc etc. Seen the advertisements, checked-out the website.....

I dont want to be a party-pooper k... but...... I don't feel good about the campaign. Cuak gilerrr....

Why?

Switch off the lights for ONE HOUR at 8.30 pm!!!

Hmm.. you guys know how long it takes to break into a house, cars, stole a motorcycle, create mayhem????

How long does it take to steal a car? Keta yang tak canggih mcm proton wira ke iswara ke tak sampai 5 minit!!! Keta canggih giler pun boleh dicuri dalam tempoh 20 minit jerrrr

Watching the adverts and reading about it in the papers.... i did not see or come across any mention of the organiser's cooperation with the police or TNB relating to security, while the lights are out for ONE HOUR that night!!

I will not be switching off the lights. My house don't have street lights, its far from other houses, when its dark, its pitch black. And there's lots of undesirable elements around the area.

My house will have it's light on. But i will reduce the number of lights switch-on that night.

I'm feeling it.............!!!!

The age factor that is... The body is telling me in no uncertain terms that it is tired!!! well i'm not as young as i use to be. That's a fact. Long journeys are taking its toll quicker than before... But then again, i don't think many people drive to Kota Baru, Kelantan friday and come back to KL sunday, just to attend a wedding.. okay, okay, add a little bit of shopping there as well. My fren that is... i'm broke!!

Pinggang aku sakit siutt... Mana nak carik tukang urut yang tak kenal aku, tak ngumpat ngan orang lain pasal org yang d urutnya, urut mcm professional tapi charge ciput atau ikut ikhlas hati jer.... heheh

Mak aii.... nasib baik esok cuti.

Kuih Karas Pekan Rabu

I was in Alor Star 11th February for a meeting. After lunch i stopped by Pekan Rabu looking for stuffs to get for my staff back at the office. There's all manner of things there, cookies, ikan pekasam, asam gelugor, pulut hitam, emping etc etc. So many things to choose from, too little moolah!! Haha

As i was checking out the stalls, i came across this lady who was cooking something in a wok. Interesting. She was cooking kuih karas!! A traditional cookie made from wheat and corn flour and sugar and deep fried. Its delicious!! Here's how its done.

Creative jugak makcik ni. Dia gantung dawai untuk memudahkan memasukkan tepung dari acuan ke dalam kuali, tak la penat tangan. Tapi fresh giler kuih ni. Dah masak, makcik tu toskan minyak and bila sejuk baru pack dalam plastik. Akhirnya aku beli kuih karas ni untuk seme staff aku
