Treated Dinner

Lust Sunday, I woke up quite late. My nephew Ezra slept with us. I’m sure he had a hard time to sleep at a new place and with his uncle who snores like no men’s business! Anyway I later found out that he slept like a piglet under a warm blanket. Well, my secret is let the fan fully blast, ensure there’s no mosquitoes and prepare a warm blanket incase one gets cold especially in the middle of the dark silent night!
My wife didn’t attend church with us because she was so tired after the BBQ that night so Ezra and I went off after a heavy breakfast. No wonder we arrived at church late and nearly missed the Praise and worship session. It was so challenging for me especially during the sermon where my eyes started the process of exploring into the world of innocents. Yeah, it was really a struggle of a fetus. It started with the blinking of both eyes where I could only see the silhouette of people and I was not thinking properly whether they were floating in the air or was it ghost!! Then I felt a massive burden on my head which made it to swing slowly to the left side of my shoulder. It was auto driven and without hesitation. At this point, I heard noises. I was a little bit surprised even my right injured ears could hear strange noise. A few milliseconds after that, I was at ease again, back to my normal sitting position. At the edge of my lips was a little bit sour. Oh, it was my sliver. I saw few people next to me whispering and giggling among them while their eyes were looking straight at me. Hmmmm, I was sleeping then so what!!!
A funny thing happened during the sacrament. After I dipped the white bread in the wine, when I was about to put it into my humbly mouth, it flew to my shoulder instead and wet my white t-shirt which my brother bought from London. I saw Gabriel on the guitar laughing and I did too. I know that the angel was there to bring back my happy sleepy mood… Hehehe!
That afternoon, we just stayed at home and watching TV until dinner where we went to junction pizza hut. That would be my first and my last to go there. I didn’t like the furniture, the chair and the table is too small. The service was quite bad, I drank my Pepsi without ice cubes and so on… enough said! Being a customer without power is the last thing that I want to be.
Last night, Jack and her cousin spent me and wife for a dinner at 101 malls. We had various type of pork, chicken meatballs and soups. Jack is a reporter from Utusan Sarawak. She ever interviewed me last month about the IT in Sarawak. Thank You Jack for the treat. Wife and I were really had a great time that night. Should go again in future.

Family BBQ

Last night I really had great time with family at my new home in Riveria. Yes, we had BBQ of pork and chicken. So yummy!! Actually my plan was to have a Kolo Mi breakfast with friends at Satok, but I cancelled it since mom wanted to go to the market to buy the pork head. Usually we will have BBQ at my parent’s house due to the big compound and a cozy area but seems I need to make my own open house next time, so I have to do it at my own place so that I will know what is lacking and what is not. It was a good survey anyway.
Thank God it was raining earlier and stopped 3hours before the BBQ started. It made the atmosphere a little bit cold not hot, windy and what else could I say…”Perfect!”. I was playing the badminton with my nephew Ezra while my wife started the fire with the firewood. Later on she took out all the marinated meats from the fridge and put it by the fire, ready to be BBQ. Around 7PM, parents came with my sister Doli and Masun and Megan. Dad start to Q the meat with the helped of my brother in-law , Masun. My sister Doli and my wife prepared the cordial sarsi and some jack fruits while I sat with my mom at the patio. Half and hour later, both of my brothers arrived while my sister Ivy and her family arrived from church 15 minutes after that. Around 8.pm the eating session begin with a word of prayer by dad.
We had invited 2 families with us, Jacqeline and Aunty Dorothy’s family for the BBQ and that makes 21 heads in the house. Too bad, no wine served… hehehhe. It was a lovely Saturday, Thank God again. Though my house is far too small compare to Dad’s mansion, at least everyone got to sit down and managed to fellowship with each other. That’s more important. Thank you to my lovely wife whom helped me to make it happen. We could have another bigger party after this.

Update you

Yesterday we watched movie at the MBO Cineplex. We met Jassica and her friend whom joining us for dinner later on. We watched the Tsunami in Korea. It was a good movie but it was quite slow in the beginning. Actually some humor was added in the story too. I think it spoilt the story where there was supposed to be sad lines but out of a sudden a clown appear. Hmm, really confusing my mood. Anyway, the effect of the tsunami was enormous. Many casualties due to miss focus, unaware, cannot swim, blur and panicky! I also learnt something from this movie. Do not play fool with Mother Nature! Thank God Tsunami wouldn’t happen in Kuching City, I hope I’m right, otherwise we have to take so many drastic actions to prevent casualties and lost.
Oh ya, while waiting for the movie to start, Hafiz’s mother called telling me that they are having open house that evening. Since we have bought the tickets, I told her some other times since Hari Raya is celebrated within a month period.
My brother’s veterinary clinic was open 2 weeks ago. Everyone was excited about it especially me J I know that my brother was also the happiest vet in the planet earthJ Mom and dad are busy with their church work. At least they occupied themselves with activities else they’ll get bored!! Anyway, dad’s satellite dish is a good option for him. My sister Ivy got her self a new 7 seaters Kia. Hmm, hutang lagi… my brother Terry is working to and fro to Bintulu more often compare to few months back... Well, it means good business then, My sister Dolly is busy with her children, gosh, Megan is so overweight now.. Gosh!! We have to do something unless we don’t want her to become the Kumang Gawai one of these years then its fine. As for me and Snah, life goes on.
I’m now actively in the FB and also in my blog. It’s great to reunite back with your long lost friend. I found Hung Ming and Marcus recently. They were my friends whom sat next to me when we were in our high school. Marcus, like Melcome, is so good in painting. Melcome is very good when it comes into details. He paints figures, faces animals and so on while Marcus is so good in playing and mixing the colors. He is more to environment, situations and natures. I love the way he paints the woods and trees, blending the purple color with yellow to form a beautiful painting of breath taking scenery of the deep forest with high water falls. I think he never uses green to color a tree. That’s not it, he never use pencil and eraser for sketching, instead he just grab a paint brush and start his work innovatively. Surprising or not?
To me it was so annoying because I couldn’t do that. Once, our art teacher asks us to draw theme: Olympic- swimming competition but mine, it turned out to be Flood in the city. Another time was when she ask us to draw our Pets, mine turned to be an ugly dinosaur by the riverside…hmm. I always fail my art, the highest that I could remember was 40%.... I knew I’m not into art anyway. But one day, I wish to paint something beautiful…. You just wait for that one day….

It’s getting late now, I want to sleep. Enjoy the youtube, entitled Bapa sentuh hatiku by Jason, which is one of my favourite…

1 Week Update

Wow, I just came back from Raya Holidays. Not much to tell and no story to write actually. Thank God I didn’t promise my friend last week to update my blog because I know I would not have time to log in to it. Better not doing any promises which you can’t keep otherwise you just make yourself in trouble. I you can just say yes but if you can’t, just say No without feeling any guilty. No promises please! Oh, the MBO at the spring has officially open and we have 3D!! Kuching city has grown so much compare to 5 -10 years back, where last time, people (including me) would compare Kuching to Miri base on how big is the super mart that the city have, how clean and beautiful the city is decorated and so on. Well, Kuching always lose to Miri in many ways. But not anymore. Now Kuching has the biggest supermarket, biggest air port, worst traffic jam, more Cineplex’s, more cars, more high rise buildings and the list goes on and on. Last time Miri has Curtin University but today, Kuching has the Swinburne University and latest, we have the new state legislative assembly building just by the riverside of Kuching. Should I be proud of Kuching? Obviously YES!
Wife went back to Sg Asap for 2 days so I spent a few days of my raya holidays at Sri Ijah’s “lodge and hotel” waaa.. the food were delicious over there and I loike! But the TV room is hot lah.. feel a little bit uncomfortable because the air is not ventilated well unless it’s raining then ones can feel the cold air flows in while the hot air goes out. Aww, Pithui looks so cute as usual and she seems to recognize my voice every time i called her.
Last Sunday service I was the lead keyboardist. To me, it is an easy task for I have music basics and some supervisory skills and some more, God is with me! But I pity some leader whom couldn’t perform their duty so well, not due to their fault, but due to the lack of these supervisory skills to handle small groups with each and individual’s tantrums! I admit there are few musicians as stubborn as a mule, as show off as magicians and so playful like a monkey and it made a perfect circus and funfair! If ever I’m in that situation, I’ll just grab my stuffs and drive my way back home, of course after a few hours at the Spring lah.
My goodness, it has been a month I supposed to send my car for service but I fail to do so. I should have sent it during the Raya holidays but I seemed too focused more on the TV programs, ghost stories and some raya entertainment by my idol. There were 2 which were the Concert Reunion AF7 in Kuching Sarawak and the AF7 Raya Open House. Ok, talk about the Reunion concert, again AESB really wanted to introduce si Aril to the Sarawakian which they FAIL to do so. They put him in the middle during the opening and lead the group where Hafiz is supposed to be and do because Hafiz is the champion. They gave si Aril more air time to talk and sang extra song “Sering Mengalah” What the heck?? Sering mengalah? Did he?? Woit ASTRO bodoh, you’re ^&&^#$^&*&*@!! Memang dia kalah pun... hahahaha, padan muka… Actually, during the live concert, I was there, at the Padang merdeka, front seat some more and I saw everything from zero. So while Aril was waiting for his trun, he waited at the side stage where the people from the right could view him. There were many children shouted his name and Aril ask them to shout louder and they did. But suddenly Hafiz came from the back and walk to the same side stage and the atmosphere change drastically where no more Aril’s name being called, but Hafiz’s! O tedah Aril!!!! Hahahahahaha…. I don’t want to comment more, likewise the AF7 open house at Merlimau Melaka. No need for me to say more for it was so obvious where the same thing happened.
Last week wife and I played badminton with Simon and his wife. It was a good game. That 1 hour was a true sweat battle… We had visitors having dinner with us at home. The weather was so hot! Need to sleep now. Tomorrow is a working day… Happy working!!

Selamat Hari Raya Puasa

Yok Beraya!
Lagu: Hafiz Hamidun
Lirik: Ajieb
Artis: Hafiz AF7

Yok beraya beraya beraya beraya ya ya ya
Yok beraya beraya beraya beraya ya ya ya

Oh kawan-kawan, bangunlah kawan
Solat sunat di pagi raya
Setelah itu maaf-maafan
Lenyapkanlah badai sengketa

Yok beraya beraya beraya beraya ya ya ya
Yok beraya beraya beraya beraya ya ya ya

Mari kawan ku jamu hidangan
Lodeh, lontong resepi bonda
Bonceng basikal konvoi beramai
Ronda-ronda keliling desa

Yok beraya beraya beraya beraya ya ya ya
Yok beraya beraya beraya beraya ya ya ya

Bridge:
Riuh ria bergembira
Jangan pula kita alpa
Buat yang sudah tiada
Ziarahi pusaranya


Yok beraya beraya beraya beraya ya ya ya
Yok beraya beraya beraya beraya ya ya ya

Indahnya malam dengan pelita
Bunga api bermacam rona
Celoteh aku bak mulut murai
Balang kosong tak disedari

Yok beraya beraya beraya beraya ya ya ya
Yok beraya beraya beraya beraya ya ya ya

Sudah pun jelas hari lebaran
Setahun sekali menjelma
Maaf dipinta tersilap kata
Kosong-kosong di hari raya

Yok beraya beraya beraya beraya ya ya ya
Yok beraya beraya beraya beraya ya ya ya

How's your September eleventh?

Sept 11, who would not forget that date? The Americans were paralyzed on that date in 2004. It was a total dreadful moment for the whole world. Things started to change. It was rather difficult to travel by plane especially to the Muslim. The airport also introduced so many rules and regulations to avoid disasters. Some part of the world started to practice discriminations and unnecessary political gimmicks. No need for me to elaborate more since it brings more hatred than peace around the world.
Today I’m on a sic leave and at the same time I had my monthly appointment with Dr Kho at Normah hospital. The weather was so wet and the road was slippery. I was not even rushing nor in a hurry. But sometimes the unexpected things happened and they are beyond our control. As I was tailing a Gen 2 at Reservoir road, I could see a white car stopped by from the opposite lane. Out of a sudden I saw the Gen 2 stopped abruptly. Immediately pressed the break hardly but my car couldn’t stop due to the slippery road. It ended my car hit the Gen 2 and then the Gen 2 hit the Perdana ahead of it. The chain accidents caused a massive jam at that 2 lanes road. I went out first to check on the other drivers. The Gen2 driver, a Malay guy introduced him selves as Teruna was on his way sending his son the hospital while the Perdana driver, a Chinese, Wong was on his way to work. To cut the story short, we exchange business cards and I promised to call them back since I was going to be late for my appointment like wise to the Teruna. So we planned to do the arrangement around 2PM, after the Friday’s prayer. So I got my selves settled and finally went Satok market to have my favorite Mi Sapi. At that time I was not even shacking, pressurized or feel nervous due to what happened earlier. Actually I know that my real reactions would only appear 6 to 7 hours later. I was a bit stress and when I’m stressed, I eat. The Mi Sapi really works! Then, I went to tHe Spring to Watch The final destination, sempat juak…. Around 2pm, I met Mr Wong and Teruna and settled my debts. The amount was quite huge but Thank God due to my saving I managed to get my life back..... tbc

It's tea time...

My right ear is still under recovery 'mode'. Blood does still oozes out but rarely this time. I think the right hearing performance has increase up to 8%. Most of the time I'm hearing the sound of Boeing jet engine which never finds its way out from the airport terminal... I rather use my left ear to listen while others talking. But it's difficult if that person is sitting on my right side where I have to turn my head 45 degrees towards him or her to get the maximum input.
Everyday people talk about many things, be it good things or vise versa. They talked about their family, work load, relationship, pets, what happen at home, new cars and so on. The talking or sharing can happen anywhere for example in the office, cafeteria, toilets, parking space and so on. It depends on you and me whether you want to be a shoulder to cry on or be cruel, leave the sit ASAP. What happen next, you figure it out!
Yesterday, as usual, I had a 4.45pm tea time with a colleague at the cafeteria. We both ordered tea and a plate of mi-goreng. AS we sat down and enjoying our food, he started to share with me where he was that morning and what he did at the hospital. In an excitement, I turned my head 45 degrees towards him while munching the mi-goreng.
"This morning, I had so much pain at my anus part. I went to see the doctor and she said I had constipation (sembelit)."



At that time, i fee like my food became less tasty. My head started to reduce the angle from 45 degrees to 40 degrees to avoid any more informations going thru the ear.

"The doctor asks me to lower down my trousers and lay backwards on the bed. Suddenly I felt something in my anus and it was painful. She used a kit to pull off the remaining fesses and finally, I felt better even though I feel want to drain everything at that time"

At that time, my head is nearly at a normal position already and i wanted to puke. The next thing that I know, he was talking alone and I don't have the excitement to listen to his marvelous experience at the hospital anymore. Yeah, finally I enjoy my mi-goring despite the whole wild thing which is playing in my mind. Sorry friend!

I know what i did last week..

Oh, it has been a while I’m out from the blog. But to stop blogging, No way.. I will not stop from blogging.. It’s the journey of my life anyway.. just like a diary where no all but around 60% of the events of my life would be recorded and kept safe in a big database. Last Friday, I took a day leave to meet the doctor and do some follow follow ups on my right ear. Well, it seemed to be good, dry and healthy again, though the shape is a bit different from the normal one. That evening wife and I went to uncle ujang’s house for a birthday party. They had BBQ and some traditional dishes.

On Saturday morning we went to see Andy’s project at Kota Samarahan. I think within the next 2 weeks, he can start business already. Yesterday he flew to KL t buy some tools and jigs. We went home around afternoons. In the evening we went to Sri Ijah to celebrate my birthday. We had Bi hun soup and I brought the cheese cake. I had good time that night. We all missed Bobo… Maybe we should have a funeral for Bobo like what we used to do to the other pets that we had…
Sunday means church. I really had a good time in church praising the Lord. After church, we had dinner at the King Centre. That evening, attend another birthday party nearby home. Saw some familiar faces. Monday was a Public Holiday It was the Malaysia national day. Wife went out with mom to Serian while I stayed at home. In the evening, I went out for a dinner at the Brooke’s cafĂ© by the water front with an old school mate.

So, that was it. That was my weekends. Not so dull and not so interesting. So much eating and socializing, I guess. But I like!!


Oh, meet our new family member... The name is Sam, Samseng! It is the birthday gift from a friend of mine....
