~ A silent moment ......

Hari ni I bring sumai and the geng to petticoat lane market kt Liverpool St. On the way bile kitorang pass trafalgar square tetiba ... Booommm .. a very loud bang come from nowhere .. terus jantung aku tersentap .. is that another bombing?? Alhamdulilah its only an event sempena hari memperingati World war 2. Ahh ..traumanya jalan2 kat london sekarang ni .. trauma pasal takut benda tu happen for the second time and trauma takut reaction org2 local. Tapi seriously aku salute org2 local. I don't feel any different on their treat before and after the incident. Even on the Thursday mase kejadian tu I was advised by my coursemate yang local suruh balik cepat2 from college. He really concern with my safety as I'm wearing scarf.. based on what happen after 11 Sept banyak org pakai scarf kene attack. Alhamdulillah everything smooth je kat sini. On the Friday tu semua dah jalan macam biasa. Bak kata Blair.. daya pulih diorng very high. And seriusly kalau sape2 datang london this weekend you won't see any different. Oxford St masih ramai macam biasa...flea market pun banyak je stall even the blast took place dekat area2 tu je. Rasanya kalau benda ni happen kat Malaysia, lama gak org akan berkabung ... maybe it's their culture yang kita patut contoh.

Anyway .. I chat with one of my friend lepas kejadian bombing kat london. There were some point I really2 dun agree with him. Adakah patut dia cakap

"Best gak ada bom ni . Baru tril sikit. kira pengalaman idup tu....em.. yea le.
janji kau selamat tp kalu ada dlm tube best gak. pengalaman siot.. mana ada jual
kat kedai"

Ye memang benda ni pengalaman hidup but just imagine the victim .. the family betapa diorng risau. Though im not terlibat directly pun tapi bile nak naik tube sekarang pikir banyak kali. so bayangkan org yang terlibat betul2. Maybe for some people, its a story .. but for me I prefer to just read the story rather being in it.....

I miss malaysia...

two post in a day .. huhhuhu a good improvement. Anyway this morning Suri mentioned abt explosion kat Oxford circus.. On the way to college macam2 siren kete bunyi and even kat park ada kerete dok ronda2. And when i reach college all the entrance ada security check .. wallah hai ..is it another disaster?? Takutnya... Doakan kami selamat yek.

Dear Colleagues,

Staff will already be aware that there have been a series of terrorist attacks on the London Transport system this morning.

Metropolitan Police Commissioner, Sir Ian Blair, has been on TV to give this message:

(1) Stay where you are
(2) Do not contact the emergency services unless it is a life threatening
situation
(3) The Police will broadcast more information as soon as the situation has been
clarified

It is advised that all staff follow this advice, at this time, unless there is an urgent need to do otherwise.

The College has already taken appropriate security measures in respect of its own
buildings.

The Government has announced a national helpline number (0871) 222 2958.

Further updates will be issued throughout the day on Spectrum as the situation evolves

Stop complaining!!

Sharing with all a story forwarded by a friend.. very enlightment .. so now stop complaining!!!!

After a conversation with one of my friends, he told me despite taking 2 jobs, he brings back barely above 1K per month,he is happy as he is. I wonder how he can be as happy as he is considering he has to skimp his life with the low pay to support a pair of old parents, in-laws, a wife, 2 daughters and the many bills of a household.He explained that it was through one incident that he saw in India... that happened a few years ago when he was really feeling low and touring India after a major setback.He said that right in front of his very eyes he saw an Indian mother chop off her child's right hand with a chopper. The helplessness in the mother's eyes, the scream of pain from theinnocent 4-year-old child haunted him until today.You may ask why did the mother do so; had the child been naughty,had the child's hand been infected?? No, it was donefor two simple words- - -TO BEG! The desperate mother deliberately caused the child to behandicapped so that the child could go out to the streets to beg.Taken aback by the scene, he dropped a piece of bread he waseating half-way. And almost instantly, a flock 5 or 6 children swamped towards this small p! iece of bread which wascovered with sand, robbing bits from one another. The natural reaction of hunger.Stricken by the happenings, he instructed his guide to drive himto the nearest bakery. He arrived at two bakeries and bought every single loaf of bread he found in the bakeries. Theowner was dumbfounded but willingly sold everything. He spent less than $100 to obtain about 400 loaves of bread (this isless than $0.25 per loaf) and spent another $100 to get daily necessities.Off he went in the truck full of bread into the streets. As he distributed the bread and necessities to the children (mostly handicapped) and a few adults, he received cheers and bows from theseunfortunate. For the first time in his life he wondered how people can give up their dignity for a loaf of breadwhich cost less than $0.25.He began to tell himself how fortunate he is. How fortunate he isto be able to have a complete body, have a job, have a family, have the chance to complain what food is nice and what isn't nice, have the chance to be clothed, have the many things that these people in front of him are deprived of...Now I begin to think and feel it, too! Was my life really that bad? Perhaps... no, I should not feel bad at all... What about you? Maybe the next time you think you are, think about the child who lost one hand to beg on the streets."Contentment is not the fulfillment of what you want, it is the realization of how much you already have.

"When the door of happiness closes, another opens, but often times we look so long at the closed door that we don't see the one which has been opened for us."

It's true that we don't know what we've got until we lose it, but it's also true that we don't know what we've been missing until it arrives.The happiest of people don't necessarily have the best of everything; they just make the most of everything that comes along their way.The brightest future will always be based on a forgotten past,you can't go on well in life until you let go of your past failures and heartaches.

Don't touch .... Stupid!!!

yuhooo .. i'm back with another completed mission of my tour. This time i went to Berlin and Praque with my rumate suri and unofficial rumate ... naiza. As usual mana2 tempat gi sure ada je unforgetable scene so this time ada gak la benda yang tak disangka2 but it will make the story kan ... life without spices macam boring la plak. anyway here some benda2 yang i still ingat

1. When we try to ask direction utk Hard Rock Cafe ..ada la mamat ni punya la confident kasik direction to us.

Us: Hello ... do u know where hard rock cafe?
mamat: Oo ... just turn
right and then left and straight.
Us: Is it near?
Mamat: about 10
minutes to 15 minutes ..
us : oo .. thanks alot ..

so we just follow the direction and on the way tu jumpa la Berlin gate. Lepas dah amik2 gambo kat berlin gate tu .. kitorng pun nak la teruskan ke Hard Rock Cafe tapi nasib baik la tanya kat tourist information dulu sebab rupanya2 Hard Rock cafe is at another side of Berlin. Dekat ngn tempat kitorg datang mase first2 .. which abt 20 minute by bus from Berlin gate tu. Cisss .. tah Ah Lok cafe mane la agaknye mamat tu kasik direction.

2. We took train from Berlin to Praque. Mase nak beli train tu minah kat counter tu cakap.. " Oooo.. the train at 5.26pm is full. If u still want it .. you have to stand". Alamak ..cam gane ni dah la memang plan nak tido dlm train ..tapi disebabkan memang rase tak sempat nak amik train kol 3 lebih so berdiri pun diri la. Anyway.. train station yang kitorng naik is the first station so when we board tak ramai sangat dalam train.. dapat la seat. But as we were told by the counter girl tu yang kena berdiri.... Me, naiza and Suri pretending to sleep dengn harapan if we took someone's seat .. org tu tak sampai hati nak kejutkan...so everytime ada org lalu je .. me akan bukak mata sket ala2 busybody takut mane2 tau owner seat tu dok cari seat dia. Penat je la dok pretend2 tapi sampai ke Praque banyak kosong je seat. Ciss .. pandai2 je counter girl tu takut2kan kitorng.

3. We reach praque dah malam .. so semua kedai dah tutup and we don't have any Praque coins utk tepon Sara so we plan to take Cab to her hse. But with help from local ppl we manage to get to her hse using Metro and Tram for free. So the next day .. disebabkan berjaya mengelak membayar Metro .. kitorng dgn confident terus naik Metro without buying the ticket but huwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa ... kantoi. Kena penalty 400 Crown Korona. Banyak tu .. dekat 10 pound. They didn't accept explaination so terpakse la bayar...:(. SO melayang la angan2 nak beli painting yang rege 400CK. So the lesson .. lain kali jangan la buat macam transport hak milik sendiri yek...

4. We watched a puppet show .. DOn Giovanni. A play by Mozart. Although tak paham but it really fascinate tgk tangan2 diorang bergerak to control the puppet.

5. There was a time Suri try to goda budak bawah umo .. heheehhehehe ..Actually she asked the boy to snap photo for us. Lepas dia dah pass the camera to the boy .. dia pun cakap la " oo budak ni cute n comel gak" .. i guess the boy paham kot the word cute tu .. terus tersenyum dengan malunya .. sampai tak terpress button camera. punya la gabra nak sebab terasa ditackle kot ..

6. saya kena marah ngn ada pakcik emo kat dalam national Gallery... huuhhhuhh ... "Hish ... DOn't touch..........Stupid". ni semua gara2 nak rase painting kat situ.

Overall .. Praque is awesome .. really a nice country and tak sangka they have a great history ( don't ask me .. ask Google yek) .. tapi agak pening sebab dia guna Crown Korona so my advise kalau nak gi mana2 country yang convertion rate pelik .. bawak la calculator...

Engineer vs URTV

sometimes emm .. actually most of the time rasanya i more suitable become a columnist kat URTV rather than being an engineer.. i knew most of the gosip abt celebrity life rather than how to operate an oscilloscope .. huhhhhh i think its time to consider abt changing my career ..

Did I dream??

Please come and see me on Monday between 10am and 3pm.
Stepan

Alamak cam mane .. kol 10 baru bangun. nasib dynamic range besar ..:)

Myself in this two week

uhh .. lots of thing happen recently tapi malas btul la nak mengupdate blog. So here bit and pieces of my two week update


1. My Italy tour
Another backpackers low budget tour yang selamat pegi and selamat jua balik ...but this time just me and cpah je mengadai nyawa try membaca peta2 yang tak seberapa. First day meround di Venice sambil terasa cam artis sebab semua org asyik nak pandang je.. Maybe sebab both of us pakai tudung kot... tak kisah la .. i like attention hahahhahaha ..( btul ke?).
Anyway second day terdemam la plak.. so sampai je kat florence tertido la sat. Lepas dah kebah sket terus jalan2 sambil gambo2 and mencari mercato. The biggest attraction kat florence atleast for me is the market tapi apakan daya once we found the market .. most of the bazar dah nak tutup. Sedihnye. I really2 wait for this moment tapi hukhukhukhuk ... nak wat guane.
The third day we meet owwe kat Pisa and sempat la bergambo2 sambil tolak menara pisa yang sangat ringan tu. Lepas penat membanting tulang menolak and menahan leaning tower tu .. kitorng pun beramai2 ke Siena plak. Its a nice place tapi kitorng banyak dok melepak je kat piazza apa tah namanya.
The next day we took train ke Rome dlm kol 9am. As usual la disebabkan keboringan I slept all the way. Tetiba cpah kejutkan ..." imah ..kita kat mane ni?" ..Aku ngn mata2 agak blur takleh berpikir sat tengok all the cabin dah kosong. Uhh .. apakah ini. Dimanakah kami? It only 10.30 am. Budget2 pun kol 12 baru sampai Rome. Do we have to change train? I looked my ticket tapi takde pon any information. Nak tanya org .. dah kosong. Huwaaaa .. adakah kami dah tertinggal? Finally I decide to go out and ask people kat platform. " Excuse me .. which station is this?" .. Dgn bersemangatnye pompuan tu jawab " Roma termini" .. me dgn tak percaya tanya banyak kali .. Yes !!! dah sampai rome rupanya. hahahhahaha .. rupanya we took a fast train so it only 1 and 1/2 hour je dari florence ke Rome. Itu la .. tido lagi.
So the next two day we spent kat Rome. Macam tak percaya je I've been to Rome .. huhhuhhuuhhuhu. Actually the biggest drive for me utk sambung blaja sebab nampak gambo Ina ( my ex-colleague) kat depan Colliseum. la la tu terus check MARA web and bersemangat gi Education Fair. The day before balik London kitorng tido kat airport. Huhhhuhhh .. macam tak percaya je guek dah jadik minah rempit tido kat airport. Though tak le best tido kat airport but finally merasa dah.. sakit semua badan2 guek... hehehehehehe..
Other thing yang happen dlm tour ni yang takleh dilupakan bile bangun2 pagi baru sebar our rumate kat Florence is actually a guy.(its 3 bed dorm) I book 4 female dorm tapi maybe pakcik bengong yang spooky tu main kasik je any avalaible bilik. Jahat btul .. nasib la muke dia ala2 Tom Kurus ..so boleh dimaapkan la but we really try our best to avoid any contact with him. SO dia masih tido je kitorng dah kuar .. dia balik je kitorng dah tido... hhahahhaha...
Lagi satu .. kesalahan guek termasuk and mandi kat toilet laki2. kat sini meh la i wrote the real story from my own eyes .. hahahhaha utk menolak dakwaan cpah cakap aku pervert. This happen sebab mase org hostel tu dok tunjuk2 kan mane bilik me dgr.. "the right side is for shower and the left is the toilet". First of all most important info .. toilet tu nampak sama je dari pandangan mata kasar yek ... accept ada la tanda kat pintu masuk dia tu. So mase nak mandi tu terus la masuk ke right side without actualy tgk kat pintu tu. Tgk dlm tu ada gak toilet tapi just one is actually working. So i tot maybe the an extra toilet la kot. Bile dah settle semua and dok depan sink basuh muka ..tertiba nampak kelibat laki...( pakcik yang jaga hostel).. iskh terdetik gak dlm hati " Diorang ni adake toilet/shower laki pompuan pun nak share. Kemut btul". I keep on membasuh muke ..and as usually always my logical thinking came later...so tertiba terpikir lak " ke aku yang tersalah masuk toilet?.. iskh tapi takkan la" Me yang masih konpiden jgkkan kepala kat pintu luar just sekadar nak sedapkan hati. Alamak ternampak gambo org hitam tanpa skirt .. and me look at the other pintu .. there it is .. org hitam berskirt kat pintu lagi satu. Alamak .. tersalah masuk toilet... Hhuuhuhhhuh .. me dgrn kegabraan yang amat sgt .. terus grab all my stuff and move to the side. Fuhhh .. nasib tade ramai org just pakcik jaga hostel tu je yang nampak aku termasuk kat toilet laki. So itu la kisah sebenonye .. it's not im pervert ok. Overall the tour memang best but this time weather dia amat la panas sampai dengan rasa berbangga i choose to melaram ala2 cikgu PJK (u can check it kat my fotopages) mase kat rome sebab dah tahan panas. Biar la apa pakcik2 italy tu nak cakap.. yang panasnya aku.. hehehehehe....


2. My Msc project
Supposely i shud done something on my thesis project tapi everytime gi IC je sure my lect takde so sampai sekarang tade progress la. I just pegi IC utk tido either kat library or prayer room. Habis la cepat my project ni.


3. My bakal Manager
My future manager came to London as he had some work kat Ireland. So he took the opportunity to meet me as mase interview pun ikut phone je and he's not the one yang interview me but We've talk several time kat phone mase dia dok promote his department. Really a nice guy. First impression .. I really look forward to work under him. He seems very tolerate and realistic and he remind me of HN Tay. A boss who know how to become a boss.


4. My Ipod bargain
Tetiba makcik leli buzz me and told abt a really cheap IPOD kat amazon. Me yang memang nak IPOD dari dulu terus terhook kat Amazon. From mini IPOD to IPOD then to IPOD photo, I then decide to buy it straight away.. Huuhhuuhh . Makcik Leli dah berangan nak kaler biru or silver while me suggest she took the pink one. Just for a precaution step before buying .. I just mail the seller asking abt the warranty. Uhh perfect .. it come with 2 years warranty but he told me if I'm interested ..I have to send my detail to him and he will contact Amazon on my behalf. He told me I can't use Amazon system as he's credit card got some problem. So me tanpa berpikir panjang meng"ok"kan je .. and after sending my details to him .. I got an email which at first I believe from Amazon saying that I have to send the payment through Western Union. The mail also inform me that this is a very secure transaction as the seller have put 6000 quid in Amazon and the account will be freeze sampai my transaction selamat. So me promise the seller to send the money the next day. As I told u earlier .. my logical thinking always came later. I felt something fishy with the mail though secara kasar nampak from Amazon. Sebagai anak didik Detective Conan .. me send an email to Amazon Customer Service to confirm the mail and as apa yang dijangkakan .. I nearly became a fraud victim. Amazon never send the mail to me. Huwaaaaa ... nasib baik .. kalau tak melayang la duit guek... So kawan2 berjaga2 la.
