because of not able to get the movie tickets the other day, i went to mid valley with shimi again yesterday to get the ticket. i woke up late, so i went there at about 2pm. parking is as usual, hard to find. nasib baik i found one near the movie entrance. we queue for the ticket for about one hour and finally i managed to get the tickets. 7 of them which i had to ‘autograph’ because gsc don’t want us to refund the ticket. while wandering around, i realized that our stomach was empty. after much thinking, we decided to go on with our planning to try out teppanyaki at the food court (mid valley megamall). it is a nice experience and fun actually to have someone cook your meal in front of you. so we know what’s inside the food. there, i ordered beef teppanyaki. it was good. mmm…

i’m not a fan of harry potter but because of my relatives and my sisters wanted to watch the movie, i had to join them. the movie starts at 12:30am. with the tickets sold out, i though the theater will be packed with people but actually there are not many people in the movie theater which is good, so i can rest my leg onto the front seat. and the movie? okay la…i think.

went bowling last night with my relatives. actually, our planning was to watch the movie harry potter but it was sold out. even the gold class tickets (cinema at mid valley). what to do? shimi accompany me at mid valley since he told me that the place was his ‘play ground’ not that i don’t know mid valley much but. the place were crowded with kids on school holiday and not to forget, those pkn boys and girls who just completed their training. it’s different from any other weekdays where the place were peaceful and fun to walk around. we just wander at mid valley instead because of the no tickets available plus shimi wanted to buy some rj45’s.

it was a while since i bowl. about a year i think. probably lost some of my skills in that time. while i was at uitm shah alam, i seldom go bowl with friends and learn some new skills. not that i am very good at it but, boleh tahan la. it’s kinda addiction. anywhoo, my relatives and i went bowling at superbowl ampang point. the lanes there were packed. there’s 4 people before me in the waiting list. we were thinking of taking two lanes because there were six of us. but then, we just use one lane for six people. damn, it took a long time just to finish one game. my usual shoe size was 7 and my favourte ball number is 12. i’m thinking of buying my own bowling ball…someday. halfway through the second game, the bowling machine just suddenly hanged or stucked or i would like to say, fucked up. we called for assistance twice at the supervisor table but all of them are stupid fuckers and i repeat, m*****fuckers. firstly, the came to my lane and banged the machine couple of times and then just leave us without saying anything. they just ignored us. those ignorant fuckers. i went to the supervisor about 20 times but no response. i pay for the game rm70++, no refund and they give me a crap service. indeed, this is the way a ***** doing business. screwing people all walks of life. damn you all

while bowling there, i saw a malay woman walking with a mat saleh. i presume that they were a couple, with the holding hands and all. takkanle adik beradik? are malay women nowdays proud if they have a mat saleh as a boyfriend? or they are so cheap that they love to screw some money from that guy and don’t care what are their face look like or they just like to show off that they have a mat saleh as a boyfriend. i don’t know lah. bangga rasanya kot? but then, just look at our malay artist. most of them marry a mat saleh. probably it makes them famous, noticeable or whatever. local guys should feel threatened…ban mat saleh immediately! hohoho…

yeaa…an update. i’m lazy to update this blog nowdays. probably because of my college has started or it is just because my lack of commitment. ho ho ho. last week was a busy week. after back from sukma, my phone rang non-stop. a customer kept bugging me for their website design and friends from malaynet have been asking me to go with them to tm net’s myloca at cyberjaya to look at our servers. i really want to go with them but i was busy at malaysian olympic council helping to set up their networks and websites. it took me two days to complete it. then, i had to rush back to my home because all of my relatives are there. i have to entertain them, of course. took them to sungai buloh, etc. probably i’ll made another appointment to go to myloca. i have a class yesterday and it goes well…for now. i sense that, this semester my class will be packed and with some new faces. he he he. now i am busy setting up a webmail and a secure web server and sending my sister to her workplace everyday. anywhoo, my classes will be back full swing next week, so probably i’ll have an interesting story to tell everyday. till then, ta!

working under the sun with a crappy shade
phew…finally i’m in kl after 3 days stuck in kuala pilah for sukma x 2004. shimi and i was assigned by malaysian rugby union to do some IT works, website updates and assist the sukma ict team in updating the results. it was very very tiring. anywhoo, i want to write the 3 days story in malay and the story is fuckin long. learn malay if you don’t understand it and if you want to read my story…

bertolak
shimi datang ambik aku kat rumah. time tu dah petang dan hujan. memula nak bertolak awal, tapi sebab shimi pergi sewa kereta, pastu mamat yang bagi sewa tu lambat, kiterang pun terkandas la sekejap. disebabkan shimi dah struggle gile sewa kereta, aku pun dengan rela hati drive le pergi kuala pilah. lagi satu sebab shimi dah ready duduk kat passenger seat time aku nak ke kereta. ho. nak masuk ke highway pun satu hal gak. kiterang tersangkut kat mrr2. hujan sikit je jam gile babi. kereta yang shimi sewa tu pun hard core sikit, lampu brek ke 3 je nyala. takpe selamba.

sesampai je kat seremban, kiterang call raqi, suruh dia jumpa kat ampangan. seremban masih cam dulu gak time aku pergi haritu. dapat jumpa raqi kejap je sebab dia ada hal. no problem aa…kiterang makan jap kat ampangan, pastu terus gerak ke kuala pilah. tension nya kuala pilah ni sebab jalan dia aje. berbengkok-bengkok. kiterang diberi tempat penginapan kat hotel nama desa inn. sampai kuala pilah, kiterang tercari-cari hotel tu. tanya-tanya orang baru jumpa. bilik kiterang ni jadi port lepak, jadi happening sikit la bilik. kat situ gak jadi tempat bersukan. ho ho…

bila bilik dah clear, kiterang jalan-jalan kat kuala pilah. ambik angin sambil cari kedai mamak mana yang masih bukak. time tu dah pukul 2:30 pagi rasanya. memang dah dijagkakan lah, kuala pilah memang berbeza dengan kl. pasaraya dekat sebelah hotel kiterang je. tengok-tengok banyak gak le kedai makan kat situ, tapi bukak time pagi aje la kot. masa kiterang ronda-ronda kuala pilah ushar jalan, bandar tu memang sunyi. last-last jumpa gak tempat makan kat atas dari town. kiterang melantak roti canai pastu balik hotel tido. penat beb.

hari pertama
first day kiterang lambat datang. match first dalam pukul 9. shimi la bangun lambat…haha. tempat sukan ragbi ni kat sekolah tuanku muhammad kat kuala pilah. sesampai je, orang semua tengah sibuk-sibuk. lepas kene briefing dengan che din, kiterang ambik tag sukma (kad akredasi), pastu terus setup command centre kiterang sebelah bilik ict. aku ingatkan dapat duduk bawah tempat teduh ke, dalam bilik ke. rupa-rupanya buat kerja tepi padang ni aaa bawah matahari. panas gile. kalau tak sebab orang mru carikan payung besar untuk kiterang, berpanas la kat situ. habis cair notebook aku nanti. dah setel command centre, aku pun on le notebook lama aku ni. kiterang diberitahu yang line internet kat sukma ni power. tm direct 2mbps. tapi bile aku sambung je wayar network kat notebook aku ni, macam palat. diorang pakai proxy, jadi banyak hal nak kena setup itu ini. menyusahkan. bila line internet dah dapat, speed dia pulak macam palat. slow nak mampus. cakap nya beriye-iya kata line laju, semua ada. sungguh bullshit. shimi selidik-selidik, dapat tau yang line internet ni sharing dengan server website sukma x. pastu line internet ni, telekom buat ala kadar je. tarik line network dari seremban ke kuala pilah. jauh gile tu. apa la salahnya dia pakai streamyx aje.

untuk result rasmi, orang boleh xs website sukma. tapi kiterang buat satu website khas untuk result sukma kat website mru. jadi sesiapa yang datang website mru dapat tengok result terkini. secara real time. untuk menambahkan ke’best’an website tu, kiterang letak le shout box, video clip dengan gambar. kasi menarik sikit. ict sukma ni bodow sket, sebab diorang block port 21 keluar. jadi terpaksa la aku guna webftp malaynet yang aku setup dulu. nasib baik boleh guna. jadi bila nak update website, aku kene upload satu-satu la pakai web. dah macam geocities lak. bila naik tengahari, aku dah start rasa bahang. berpeluh telur aku. payung besar yang ada pun tak mampu menahan. jadi untuk elakkan notebook kiterang ni meletup, lepas beberapa jam buat kerja, kiterang shutdown notebook pastu jalan-jalan ambik gambar dan video dan angin. time rehat, kiterang pergi cari kedai yang jual nasik lauk. dapat gak merasa masakan negeri sembilan. time rehat tu, kiterang cari cc kejap sebab nak buat kerja scan gambar. nasib baik sepol ada, dia sound ada cc kat sebelah kfc. cc tu aku tengok, ada lagi bebudak yang main half-life. teringat aku time tahun 1999 dulu main half-life ramai-ramai. hussler dulu woo main game ni.

match last sekali, melaka lawan perlis. melaka menang 19 0. time tu dah pukul 6 lebih. kiterang stay sekejap sebab nak transfer gambar dan video dari kamera aku. notebook kiterang takde firewire, jadi terpaksa la pinjam pc ict sukma, masukkan firewire card aku bawak dari kl. banyak gak video aku ambik. ada dekat 1gb size. nak pilih mana satu pun pening. banyak yang best. habis transfer, kiterang pergi beli megi kat kedai jap pastu balik hotel, terus tido. penat gile hari tu.

hari kedua
disebabkan hari pertama dah datang lambat, kiterang ingat nak datang awal hari kedua. lepas makan je, terus speed pergi. sampai je, tengok orang pun ramai tak sampai lagi. match start pukul 11. kiterang sampai dalam pukul 10 kot. hoho. tapi ok laa…dapat parking dekat. kalau tak manjang double parking je. hari kedua ni takde rehat. terus menerus dari pagi sampai petang. sakit gak le. dengan data entry, update website, pastu nak ambik gambar dengan video lagi. penat gile.

time hari kedua ni, aku duk ushar-ushar hot chicks je. tak ramai sangat le kat sini. well, kalau aku jaga sukan akuatik, ramai la hot chicks. biasa la aku, gersang. time petang, shimi sound aku kiterang kene pergi dinner sukma kat dewan besar kuala pilah. takpe la kot, kalau makan-makan ni aku on aje. time makan tu, ada la band main lagu-lagu yang popular sekarang. nanti aku upload la video dinner tu. ok gak le band tu main. tapi aku ingat ada artis popular…haha. lepas dinner, kiterang gerak ke seremban jumpa raqi. dah sangap sangat duduk kat kuala pilah ni tak buat apa-apa. kiterang pi makan-makan kat ampangan. puas la jugak duk pujuk raqi suruh datang kuala pilah. tapi dia tak dapat. well, tak kisah le kot. balik kuala pilah, kiterang buat kerja sket, makan megi pastu terus tido dengan laptop on semua.

hari ketiga
final day. kiterang sampai lambat sikit, jadi terpaksa double parking. hari ni semua nak datang, tuanku jaafar, tengku naquiyuddin. menteri besar aje la kot tak datang. aku tengok fru pun ada mungkin sebab takut bebudak kelantan dengan negeri sembilan gaduh cam match bola tu. tapi bebudak ragbi apa barang nak gaduh-gaduh. gentlemen la. lepas siapkan command centre, berusaha la kiterang nak update result kat web. dekat pukul 3 aje, internet down. nak access apa-apa pun tak boleh. kiterang pun tanya-tanya la kenapa. ict kat seremban kata internet satu malaysia down. aku pun terpikir. apa ke lancaunya reason macam tu? diorang ingat kiterang ni bodoh betul ke sampai nak percaya reason macam tu sekali. walaupun telekom malaysia ni memang sial sket, takkan le bodoh sangat diorang sampai dns server diorang boleh down? ntah apa-apa. nak menipu orang pun berpada-pada la. selidik punye selidik, rupa-rupanya diorang shut down proxy server sebab orang ict seremban tak bersungguh-sungguh buat kerja. asyik download video dengan mp3 aje.

ish orang seremban ni macam tak pernah jumpa internet la pulak. tau la line laju kat seremban. rilek-rilek la. aku kat kuala pilah tu nak download pun takde selera. kat kl pun kekadang takde mood. bila diorang dah shutdown proxy server tuh, maknanya kiterang dah tak boleh buat kerja dah. nak access website mru ke, nak ftp ke semua tak boleh. kene tutup kedai. kiterang shutdown semua notebook pastu bungkus. kemas kedai. bebudak ict tengok pun takut je, diorang rasa kiterang mengamuk kot? huh…bodoh sungguh. aku dengan shimi ingat nak balik dah tapi sebab match belum habis, stay aje la kot. shimi pergi update result hard copy untuk mru, aku plak angkut le tongkat kamera aku ni ke sana ke sini nak ambik gambar. nak tambah bengang, time aku tengah ambik gambar, ada pulak budak pergi pegang lens kamera aku. nak mengamuk aje rasanya. nasib baik budak.

time tungku naquiyuddin dengan tuanku jaafar datang, dapat le jugak aku berasak-asak dengan media nak ambik gambar. gambar dan video yang aku dapat ni kira ok la jugak. ha ha…best best. time bagi hadiah pun dapat la jugak angle-angle yang menarik untuk menagmbil gambar. hafis telefon aku kata dia nak datang kuala pilah. respek la jugak aku dengan hafis. sanggup datang dari johor. bebudak lain yang duduk dekat pun tak datang. ada aje reason-reason bodoh. habis match akhir, kelantan lawan negeri sembilan (kelantan menang 19 0), kiterang dengan hafis gerak ke seremban, pergi minum-minum sambil cari souvenir sukma. kiterang lepak kat tempat makan kat pusat akuatik seremban. kiterang ajak raqi lepak sekali. macam biasa, kat pusat akuatik tu, aku ushar-ushar lagi hot chicks. gersang beb. ho ho. hafis ajak pergi berkemah kat port dickson, tapi time tu kiterang pun dah aku dengan shimi penat gile, nak balik kl. sambil tu, kiterang ajak hafis turun kl. dia pun tak nak gak.

sesampai aje aku kat kl ni, balik rumah terus tido. tak ingat dunia punye. ho ho. secara kesimpulannya, sukma kat negeri sembilan ni ok la, tapi satu bende aje yang aku tak puas hati. bahagian ict dioarang la. incompetent. tak bersungguh-sungguh. pastu lagisatu kuat menipu. tipu yang mengarut-mengarut pulak tu. patutla ada member yang kerja kat majlis olimpik cakap, sukma ni low class. apa barang ek? hehe…okey, aku sign off dulu. nak sambung tido.

a couple of weeks ago, the star newspaper has contacted me asking about the blog life of a malaysian student. did i mention this earlier in my blog? anywhoo, this website was featured in the star newspaper today on the education section. it’s titled ‘when life’s an open blog’. you can see the article here or you can just buy the star newspaper. thanks a bunch to jamie khoo of the star.

on other note, today i will be in kuala pilah, negeri sembilan doing some IT works such as data entry, website and results updates, etc. for the malaysian rugby union during the sukma x 2004. last time i went there for a mock run, sukma people tells me that they have a superb internet connection (tm direct – speed up to 2mbps) for me to do the works. i hope they don’t suck on the match day because lately they are (well, you know…telekom). i’ll find a time to update my blog. probably i even give you all some pictures or videos or even updates of the sukma x 2004.

i was at sungai wang to get my sister’s car. she was involved in a small accident and my sister are currently freaked out. so, tomorrow probably i’ll have to take the car to workshop for some body work. anybody here have a workshop that can do a body work for a low price? i’ll advertise your shop here…hehe

i was very hungry at the time. so, i went to my friends restaurant for a dinner plus he want to belanja. after finishing the meal, i felt guilty not having to pay for the food. so, i volunteer to take the customer order. there were a group of girls just arrived. armed with a paper and a pen, i walk to their table. after ordering, they asked me with some obnoxious question. they even asked me what are the specialties here. duhh, can’t they read the menu? it’s clearly written. rasa macam nak kasi pelempang. anywhoo, i just stare them for a moment, left to the kitchen and then went home to write this blog. hahaha. yeah, girls too can be a jackass. even worse than a boy.

i live in a community where the majority are malay. it’s fun because we knew each other along the road where i live. last month, we even have a family day just for the people living along the road i live and it was a blast. the people there are caring about each other. they helped each other for example like kenduri or such. i’m not saying that other community or multi-racial community are not fun or not like mine. most of the community in malaysia are like mine, they socialize and caring about other people. besides kl, i have a apartment at bayan baru, penang. here, we don’t mingle that much like in kl, oh and it’s a multi-racial community. most of the time, we spent the time in the house. when we had to go out, the we just wave our hand and say hi to the neighbour. probably because it is an apartment and it’s hard to socialize with the neighbour. but it is not a reason not to socialize with neighbour whether we live in a bungalow, flat or whatever. maybe i should take a move in socializing with my neighbour at penang. back to the story at kl, although the neighbours looked for each other, they had this one thing. they kinda not respecting each other. this statement probably not true and i’m just ranting but last night, there were some people using the dewan serbaguna (that was seldomly used by umno cawangan at my place like it’s their dewan although it is a multi-purpose hall) at my house. they were doing a barbeque or gathering or whatever there. the problem is, they parked their cars everywhere, blocked the road and give some hard time for people to went out. as usual, i was mad. i just sabar and made me believe that these people were an outsider who don’t know the rules here and how to respect other people. i mean, come on. do whatever you want to do, but don’t susahkan other people. besides this, sometimes there are some inconsiderate people who parked their cars in front of my house and blocked my path. even after honking several times, they just ignored it and won’t move their car. i had to went inside their house and asked them to move their car. my rage is still in the medium level, so, it’s lucky that i don’t ran amok with a parang or something.

urgh…i was locked out from my house today. i didn’t bring my key when i went out, so i had to wait for my mother to come home, that about 2 hours later. it really suck having to sit and wait in front of the house like a jackass. it’s hot and boring…argh…

somebody i barely knew on the net just send me a package of vcd. weird though, we just knew for couple of weeks and then he send me a vcd which contains an ‘edisi siasat’ kinda movie. it have an explicit images and not suitable for kids or to cut the crap, it is sort of a porno movie. of course i watched it a little 8-). then a day or two, other somebody i barely knew on the net kept bugging me to send the vcd to her. yes, it’s a girl. it seems the guy who send the vcd to me told her that i have a copy of the vcd. she just claim that she was bored and wanted to see the vcd. hell yeah i’m shocked because i am an old fashion guy. but then, what the hell. she even asked me to go to her house and send it to her. i didn’t send to her yet. man, i don’t know. significant event can lead to other significant event. playing with fire is dangerous. what should i do?

last night, the relatives decided to have a small gathering at 12am. besides that, somebody i barely knew asked me to went dinner with her at about 8pm. that day was not a productive day for me, so i am lazy to went dinner with her since her place is at bukit antarabangsa, there are still traffic jam and i had to pick her up at her place. she kept called me asking if i am going and with the slow voice like that, i felt sorry for her (uh…) and went to her place with shimi as my guardian. halfway to her house, my sister called me that the gathering was pulled up to 9pm because they have booked a movie ticket. so, with my sexy voice (yeahh…) i called her back and have the dinner cancelled. she sounds…unhappy, i think. but nevermind that, because the family goes first.

on the family gathering, we went to see shrek 2. man, this story if fuckin hillarious. i seriously recommend you guys to see it eventhough many times. you’ll never get sick of it. we went to kampung baru after that for a dinner. a really embarassing moment happened there. while we were waiting for the drinks to come, my relatives cancelled the order and walked away. i saw some people talking, and the owner of the shop, of course pissed but unnoticeable. well, what do they expect, the place is not happenning at all. just gloom and dark. we just went to telawi instead. this morning, my sister asked me to send her to her workplace instead of sending her to lrt station. because of i am driving her new car, i had to follow her instruction. when we stopped for a gas, while my sister pays for the gas, i was dumbfucked in the car searching for the gas lid opener. i’ve drive kelisas before this but probably i just forget where is the damn gas lid opener. it took me about 20 minutes before realizing that it was beside the handbrake. shit.

i was watching the movies preview last night and can you guess the movie title ‘the day after tommorrow’ when translated to bahasa melayu? it’s ‘lusa’. ha ha…

last night azlan wanted to went out with me. i took him jalan-jalan around kl, cuci mata and then we hang out at uptown and borak-borak. when i want to go home, we got some problem. he didn’t know how to go to federal highway from my house. so, i had to show the route by having him tailgate my car but after we had a drink at nz. i was very sleepy that i almost crashed my car into a divider two times. ish ish…

after picking up my sister at her workplace, she kept bugging me to belanja her kuey teow goreng. so we went to this kedai makan near my house. the food here is okay but here’s a thing, there’s one worker there kept staring at me while i’m eating. that’s creepy dude. i look at my shirt if i got a stain or snot coming out from my nose, but i’m clean, mucus free. i can’t even enjoy my food. when i go to the counter to pay, she even asked some private question. i didn’t answer it though, just stare her with my strange look. i think it is inappropriate to start a friendly chat with a stranger by asking a personal question. there should be a rule that stranger can’t ask such question to other stranger. tanya lah apa khabar ke, apa ke. luckily the one that asking is a chick. if it is some guy, heads are gonna roll…
