Mo and Mos

Siapakah mereka? Mereka ialah sepasang kawan yang menyertai The Amazing Race Australia. Aku pernah post-kan tentang mereka di Facebook minggu lepas.



Wah! Sangat kagum dengan mereka. Aku pernah terfikir (baca: berangan) untuk menyertai The Amazing Race sebelum ini dan antara persoalan yang timbul sebelum aku menghantarkan permohonan (macamlah betul..) termasuklah "Kalau aku dapat join, macam mana nak sembahyang tengah-tengah race nanti? Aiseh". Namun yang demikian, Mo dan Mos menbuktikan, solat bukanlah satu halangan! Buktinya, setelah dua leg di dua buah negara, mereka masih lagi ada di dalam race tersebut. 



“Who knows? Just taking five minutes to stop and pray might just help us focus. And that could be just what we need to win the race,” says Mos.


All the best kepada Mo dan Mos. You guys have all the supports from Malaysia! Ingin tahu lebih lanjut tentang mereka? Klik sini saja.


Ada satu lagi team yang aku support, Team Anne-Marie dan Tracy. Kedua-dua mereka sangat positif okay! Tak kisah la, walaupun mereke ketinggalan, mereka tetap berfikiran positif. Dan gelak tawa mereka sangat addictive (ya, mereka memang suka gelak.)!








Meredah Ke Tangkak, Johor


Pagi tadi, aku gagahkan diri untuk ke majlis resepsi Fuad yang telah diadakan di Tangkak, Johor. Cadangnya mahu pergi bersama beberapa orang, tapi malangnya yang lain gagal dikesan (sedih..). Terkenangkan kesanggupan Fuad memberi kad kahwin secara by hand kepada aku, akhir-akhir, aku pun mengambil keputusan untuk meredah saja seorang diri. Alhamdulillah, sebelum itu, Shahril ada telefon, Jadinya, janji bersama dia untuk jumpa di sana sahaja. 

Sebelum bertolak, aku pun ada ber'sms' dgn Amir Akmal. Dia dalam perjalanan ketika itu, bersama Zarul dan isterinya, Elly. Ada gang lagi. Yes!

Perjalan mengambil masa lebih kurang satu jam setengah. Alhamdulillah, pada jam aku sampai, Amir, Zarul dan Elly masih lagi di Tangkak. Sebelum pergi ke kenduri, kami berempat sempat singgah di 'rumah penanggah' (kata Amir), tempat di mana pengantin bersiap-sedia bersama Pak Andam. Tak teringat nak tangkap gambar pada masa Fuad dan isterinya bersiap sedia. Begitu juga gambar Amir, Zarul dan Elly. Maaf.

Jam dua lebih, aku pun bergerak ke tempat jamuan, sudah berjanji bersama Shahril mahu terus jumpa di situ. Amir, Zarul dan Elly bergerak pulang kerana Elly perlu mendaftar diri untuk kemasukan diplomanya di UIA. Shahril datang bersama isterinya, Amal, dari Kluang dengan menaiki Volkswagen Golf! Cayalah Shahril!



Nah, lauk yang dihidangkan. Ada kambing, ayam dan daging. Ikan saja tidak ada. Meriah bukan lauknya? Macam-macam jenis pun kuih ada. Air pun ada tiga jenis. Besar bajet Fuad ni. Khemah pun ada lapan buah. Rezeki masing-masing.




Inilah Shahril dan isterinya. Shahril sekarang ini bertugas sebagai Bioprocess Engineer (kot..) di Biowaste Corp. Sdn. Bhd. manakala isterinya pula masih menjalani housemanship di Hospital Kajang.


Sedikit sebanyak suasana kenduri. Maaf tidak daapt menangkap gambar pengantin dari jarak dekat. Apa-apa pun, tahniah kepada Fuad dan isteri.






Tahniah juga kepada Tarmizi dan Syeera, yang juga mengadakan jamuan pada hari yang sama. Maaf tak dapat datang. Fuad ajak dulu. Huhu.

Sekian saja karangan bergambar aku pada kali ini.

P/s - Post kali ini agak skema. Apa pon tak boleh~  

:p

The Three Ds



It took me more that 15 minutes  just to adjust the position and the size of the picture. The new blogger's 'insert image' format has some cons there. I was unable to re-size the picture with a custom width x height. Anyway, I'm not here to babble about blogger's new features. I'm here to talk about my two nephews and niece. 

Introducing, the Three Ds! They are Wan Muhammad Darwish (9), Wan Nur Diyanah (6) and the youngest one, Wan Muhammad Darimi (3). You guys want to know more about them? Keep on reading then. I actually have the pleasure of them answering several questions for you guys.

Who are you and what do you do?

Darwish: You can call me Darwish. I'm 9 years old, what do you think I'm doing? I'm a primary school student of course.

Diyanah: I am Princess Diyanah.

Darimi: Bubby!


What work do you most enjoying doing?

Darwish: Err.. Playing games. Watching cartoons, Ben 10 mostly.

Diyanah: Sleeping? Opps. My bad. I'm a princess. Of course the most enjoying thing that I've done is.. err.. giving back to the society. Yeah, charity work.

Darimi: Bubby! Bubby!

What's your scariest experience?

Darwish: Having had to battle with  the horrifying zombies in Plant Vs Zombies games.

Diyanah: Homaigad! There was one time, I saw a cockroach when I was in the bathroom. It was the scariest moment eva (in diva mode)!. Someone please clean the bathroom please?!

Darimi: Bubby?

What makes you angry?

Darwish: The pigs in the Angry Birds game? They are really annoying and always pissed me off.

Diyanah: Again, I'm a princess. You see. I cannot get angry. Hehe. Can someone clean the bathroom?! How many time I have to yell?! Homaigad! (Errr???)
Darimi: Bubby.

What superpower would you have and why? And Darimi, please don't just answer 'Bubby'. It's getting annoying.

Darwish: I want the Ben 10's Omnitrix. Is it count as superpower? Hehe! I want to have the powers of the aliens!

Diyanah: The power to turn an ugly face like yours to a beautiful one. Should I tell why? (Errr?)

Darimi: Bubby! Bubby bubby bubby bubby bubby bubby bubby bubby bubby bubby bubby bubby bubby bubby bubby bubby bubby bubby bubby bubby. Nah.


Professionally, what's your goal?

Darwish: Manchester United?

Diyanah: What kind of question is that? I'm a lady!

Darimi: Stop asking us lame question. It's getting ridiculous.


Err.. That's all for now. Suddenly the three of them wanted to go to the toilet at the same time. 




P/s - Dialogue is merely a false representation and not related to  the actual event. And why was Darimi keep answering 'Bubby'? Go watch 'Diary of A Wimpy Kid'.  Hehe!

Certificate

I just received my first job-related certificate today! I will upload the picture later (probably :p ). It's nothing fancy, as I got it due to participating in one of the company's training. But at least, I can add one more into my collection and I will 'preserve' it in my big-fat certificate file. :)


**Update**

Here is the certificate image:

Get It Right

Lagu ni memang kena dengan jiwa aku sekarang. lebih-lebih lagi, selepas ini berlaku. Part chorus tu betul-betul kena dengan apa yang aku lalui. Bila tak nak sedih, tiba-tiba jadi sedih balik. Aziz, pull yourself together!! Apa-apa pun, selamat menghayati lagu berunsur motivasi ini.




What have I done? I wish I could run
Away from this ship goin' under
Just tryin' to help, hurt everyone else
Now I feel the weight of the world is
On my shoulders

What can you do when your good isn't good enough?
When all that you touch tumbles down?
'Cause my best intentions keep making a mess of things
I just wanna fix it somehow
But how many times will it take?
Oh, how many times will it take for me?
To get it right
To get it ri-igh-ight

Can I start again with my faith shaken?
'Cause I can't go back and undo this
I just have to stay and face my mistakes
But if I get stronger and wiser
I'll get through this

What can you do when your good isn't good enough?
When all that you touch tumbles down?
'Cause my best intentions keep making a mess of things
I just wanna fix it somehow
But how many times will it take?
Oh, how many times will it take for me?
To get it right

So I throw up my fist
Throw a punch in the air
And accept the truth that sometimes life isn't fair
Yeah, I'll send down a wish
Yeah, I'll send up a prayer
And finally, someone will see
How much I care!

What can you do when your good isn't good enough?
When all that you touch tumbles down?
'Cause my best intentions keep making a mess of things
I just wanna fix it somehow
But how many it times will it take?
Oh, how many times will it take for me?
To get it right
To get it ri-igh-ight



Upgrade PC

Bulan lepas, aku berjaya gagahkan diri untuk menaiktarafkan system PC aku. Sebenarnya, sayang nak upgrade sebab PC yang sebelum ini sudah banyak berjasa dekat aku, dari 2005 tu. Hampir enam tahun. Pada masa yang sama, kebetulan desktop PC rumah kakak aku rosak, aku pun jadikan alasan la, nak menderma desktop yang lama tu kepada dia, dan aku akan beli yang baru. Well, inilah hasilnya:


(Sila klik untuk paparan yang lebih jelas)


Tak ada la hebat sangat. CPU aku guna i3 je sekarang. Kalau diikutkan, mahu saja ambil i7, tapi apakan daya, bajet tidak lepas. RAM sudah tentu la DDR3, tapi 2G jer baru. Masa beli tuh, aku sempat tambah hardisk sampai 1 Terra. Dah murah ye hardisk sekarang. 1T tak sampai RM200 pun. Plus, aku sempat jugak tambah graphic card ATI Radeon HD 5500 Series. Kononya untuk main game bagai, tapi last-last, game yang dinstall hanya Guitar Hero dan Angry Birds. Huhu.





Antara lama dan baru. Jangan tanya aku, kenapa casing yang baru ada bunga--bunga bagai. Aku pun tak perasan masa orang kedai tu tolong pasangkan, sampai la aku buka kat rumah. Dalam hati ada taman tuh. Well, yang penting, dalam dia hardcore. Hehe.

P/s - Sesiapa yang masih menggunakan Intel Pentium 4 itu memang last season. Upgrade jer la weh. Tiru macam saya. :)

The Most Important Item In Your Make Up Bag

Source - The Big Bang Theory - 424 - The Roommate Transmogrification

Girls, get your pen and paper as you might need to write this down (as if). 

According to Tyra Banks, yep, the real Tyra Banks, the most important item in your make up bag is not your lipstick, neither your foundation, nor your lip-gloss nor your mascara but, it is, a good night's sleep!!

Rejection Hurts

Ini bukan post berunsur cinta.





I have been waiting for this letter since two weeks ago, after my third stage interview with IIUM-UIA for an academic position at Center for Foundation Studies IIUM (Yeah, third stage. My first stage was last year, somewhere in October). I was excited at first, but the excitement didn't last long until I opened the letter.




"However, we regret to inform you that your application has not been successful". This is the last sentence of the main content of the letter. What?  I failed?! Again! 


It was my second time being rejected, after I had passed certain main stage of an interview. The first one was when I applied for KPLI. I passed the first round, but then failed afterwords. This time, although I didn't get my hopes high, it still hurt as much as the first one.

Rejection hurts. No, rejection sucks. Nevertheless, I have to admit, a part of the failure was because of myself. Overconfident much maybe. 

As much as I wanna feel sad right now, well, it'll just be a waste of time. I have to move on.

Third time is a charm? Nah, I think I'm done! At least for this moment.

So, what's my plan after this? Hmm, just gonna concentrate on my current work, give my 100% efforts, though I don't really like the nature of the work itself. I have to suck it up. Whatever it is, I am planning to further my studies (in education), for the upcoming intake in September, InsyaAllah.

P/s - Orang yang failed audition Akademi Fantasia, pastuh nangis-nangis, memang drama. It is not the end of the world. 






Annoying Guy

People can be so annoying and sometime, without they realizing it. So, what to do? Just be as annoying to that guy, until he lose it. An annoying guy can only be taken care of using extremely annoying measures.

Honeymoon Period

Not really a honeymoon period actually, but I am able to take a break from the everyday's hassle from my jobs when the company is sending me for a week training for their not-so-new project, Unifi.

It is not a fun one as we have to actually attend a lecture-like training, and have to do tests/quizzes some more. See the diagram below. I feel like attending Bio-process class with Dr. K :p.




Still, it is a good training as I able to learn something new or otherwise, my brain will be berkarat already. 

P/s - Customer service is not an easy job, as some of you thought.

So guys, be cool, Don't get emo too much. Hahahaha!

P/s  - This is for fun alright. :)

Biadap Sungguh Dia Ini

Pertama sekali, ini post berunsur emo (iyalah tuh.. ).

Sebelum aku mulakan post ini, aku mahu meminta maaf jikalau ada siapa-siapa yang merasakan penggunaan perkataan 'biadap' itu agak kasar. Kalau diikutkan, itu sudah lebih lembut kalau dibandingkan dengan perkataan 'bodoh' atau 'tak guna', yang aku memang nak sangat cakap dalam post kali nih. Opps, terlepas lah pula. Maaf.



Kanapa? Pemandu WNF 1635 yang melalui Jalan Tun Razak sekitar jam 4.30 petang tadi agak biadap kerana TIDAK MEMBERIKAN LAMPU SIGNAL KE KIRI/KANAN setiap kali mencelah masuk dihadapan kereta lain, termasuklah kereta aku.


Aku memang pantang dengan sikap segelintir pemandu yang biadap atau berat tulang untuk memberikan lampu signal yang hanya memerlukan tenaga tidak sampai 1Nm/s itu (Betulkah unit tenaga ini? Tenaga = Kerja/Masa kan? :p ). Bukannya susah. Bukannya perlu bayar apa-apa. Bukannya akan merosakkan kereta anda. Mungkin ego anda terlalu tinggi. Dalam kepala anda seperti ini, "Aku hebat. Tak perlu bagi signal. Signal untuk mereka yang skema". Bengong!


Apa-apa pun, tahniah la kerana membuatkan aku marah dan meluahkan kemarahan aku ini di dalam blog yang sudah hampir 2 bulan tanpa sebarang kemaskini. Padan muka kau. Gambar kereta kau masuk dalam blog aku yang dibaca hampir 10 000 orang di dalam dan di luar negara (Berangan sangat kan? Hahahaha!). Lepas ini, kalau jumpa, kita pakat baling telur ramai-ramai (Gelak jahat).

Yang lain, termasuklah aku, sila ambil pengajaran. Tak susah pun kalau nak bagi signal. Sejuk sikit hati pemandu lain, sekiranya anda memberi signal sebelum mencelah di hadapan mereka. Lebih baik, angkat tangan sekali, tanda terima kasih.

Renung-renungkan dan selamat beramal! :)
