Duit Raya !!

Who knew, at the age of 25 Im still getting duit raya. Haha!

The timing of my 'report for duty' is just awesome, shortly after raya (Yeah, I'll be working my socks off starting this coming Monday). I had a whole Ramadhan and did a major overhaul of myself, I enjoyed raya for the first time without any pressure of exam or work, and I had the chance to sapu duit raya for the last time! So I would say its a damn good timing!

I felt much relieve that I finally have the answer to everybody's question, "bile masuk kerja?"

But I can feel the next question is coming thick and fast. "Bila nak kahwin?"

Haha. Well, I think I should be able to answer that in not too distance future, insyAllah.

In the mean time, I think I should enjoy my last duit raya! Er maybe a new Denso Iridium Spark Plugs with R3 cable? ekeke

Raya!

Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri

Maaf Zahir dan Batin

Wasn't Me

Well, I did something with last weekend's SPOC berbuka puasa event pictures. Just to kill the boredome really. Btw, the main character is Pezal @ Ensemboi. Well u may not find this funny, but for SPOC guys, it is. :P

That trademark Pezal's pose of confuse+blur+cheeky just kills me. Just make u wanna laugh soo hard. wahahaha.

Yeah, he is my main 'bahan' apart from Izza. hehe. Btw Izza, do u like me to post your own 'mini series'? may I? please?

New Honda City

Here's a peek of the new Honda City, launched recently in Thailand. The design has much improve from its previous predecessors. The new City is no longer use the Jazz platform. No more awkward disproportionate Jazz-with-a-bonnet look or some would say the 'dolphine' look.

In fact, the roof height dropped 25mm lower from the last model, while its slightly longer by 5mm and wider by 5 mm. So yeah, Honda has rectified the awkwardness of City! yeay!

At least Honda is listening to the market. Lets hope Toyota would do the same in future. Please, remove all the Vios-Dugong from the streets! Its just hideous to see!

I will seriously consider this car in future. But lets wait until my Darknight starts to buat perangai first lah. Alhamdulillah so far, no major problem yet. In fact with a some modifications, she handles like a dream now. hehe. Goodbye for now, Honda City. Till we meet again.

Check out when it matches with Modulo kits. Its HOT !! Definitely I dont mind getting this.Check out http://paultan.org/ and for more info.

Horoscope

"The time has come to let go of certain elements of the past. At the moment, this may seem like a defeat. But first you must relinquish what's no longer of use, clearing the way for the new. And that promises to be as rewarding as it s unexpected."

I never bother to look at horoscope. They all just lies and just a waste of time. In fact, I think its pathetic those who are fanatic about it. I mean com'on, you dont need a piece of crap to tell you what to do in your life. Thats what I thought all these while.

One blue day however, I accidentally come across and I read mine. My frowning face slowly turns into a grin, then a laughter. Haha. Somehow the horoscope reads something that I really needed to hear at that particular moment. What a coincidence, what an irony.

I haven't let go of certain thing that holding me back, and that horoscope put a sense of clarity back to me. So it did help me at that particular time.

Anyway, thats the first and the last horoscope for me. I mean yeah, if it make sense and its logical to applied to your problem, why not take it as just a guidance. Becareful not to really believe it 100% and put faith in it as that will be a Syirik, and no we don't want that, now we?

Flaming!

Flaming steamboat buffet!

nyum nyum nyum~

:D

Transformers Again!

Trying to mimic the pose above. Well if you notice, the scale is a bit off. Starscream should be much bigger, and Jazz should be smaller. Optimus should also be slightly bigger, but thats because I bought the Voyager class, not the Leader class, which I think would be perfect scale to others.

Selamat Hari Merdeka, Menyambut Ramadhan

3, 2, 1. Merdeka! Boom! Boom! The fireworks from my balcony. As a sign of my patriotism for Malaysia, I present you my Merdeka collection! Taaadaaa~

To all Malaysian, Selamat Hari Merdeka!
To all Muslims, Happy Ramadhan!

Sick

Just when I thought when I was getting better on Monday, Tuesday it get worse. Again, I thought I was getting better on Wednesday, today it got worse.

Dammit.. Im running out of Paracetamol!

Oh well, sakit itu penghapus dosa. Thats the bright side of it!

Angin...How To Get Rid

I guess having spent the day under the hot sunny day on Amri & Ain's wedding left me deeply dehydrated. Having played football on the evening and futsal at night, and having eaten only just half plate of dinner coupled with late night sleep on the same day finally had taken its toll. Whole body ache, fever coupled with angin that makes me nauseated and dizziness really put me off for 2 days. Well, its a high time to get some rest.

So for anyone experiencing headache, dizziness, bloated, nauseated cause by angin or excess gas in the tummy, heres several option for you.

1. Simethicone
This is actually a mixture of poludimethylsiloxane and silica gel. Its an oral anti-foaming agent that used for bloating and pain cause by excess gas in the tummy. Like any other anti-foaming agent, it causes the air bubbles surface tension to reduce, thus making them easier to merge with other small air bubbles to become a larger bubbles. This larger air bubbles can be expelled easier by burping action.

Theres several brands in the market, the most Ive seen in local pharmacy is Maalox Max. Nrmally it is combined with other antacid medication to produce a general medication for gastric discomfort like Actal.

2. Activated Charcoal
Activated charcoal has great deal of adsorption power. Adsorption and not absorption. Adsorption means a process when a solute accumulates on the surface of the adsorbent and absorption means substance diffuses into a liquid or solid to form a solution. In this case, activated charcoal is an adsorbent. Its basically a charcoal or arang. It gets treated to become activated and once its activated, it has a very high adsorbing power. Due to this properties, it has many application. Its used in water filter, its used as deodorizer and in medicine, its used as toxin and gas adsorbent.

In this case, it works by adsorbing gasses in ur tummy. Just like when you are having diarrhea, it adsorps all those toxins that irritate your tummy. Several brands in the market, the most famous is UltraCarbon.

3. Garlic
For me, this is the best of all. Its cheap, its readily available in your mom's kitchen and its effective! Its a trully nature's wonder, this garlic is. Although it is more well known for its anti-bacterial activity, good for heart disease patient (Atherosclerosis, hypertension, dyslipidemia) and even cancer, I feel that garlic for removing excess gas is underrated. Its trully effective for me! So next time if you experiencing the same problem as I have, why not go to your kitchen and search for it.

Wedding of The Year

It has been a busy yet a worthwhile week. To spend straight 7 days with 2 of my good friends that I rarely see (once a year, once in 2 years) is great, but to be involve in the wedding preparation is even better.

Congratulations to both Amri and Ain. It was THE wedding of the year! It was a garden/lakeside wedding. The venue, the people, the bride and groom, and the ceromony were excellent! Its just a beautiful perfect wedding. Alhamdulillah.

Let these pictures do the talking. (Click on the picture for larger viewing)

The venue
The sceneryThe ceremony. Yes. They came by boat from Masjid Putrajaya to Taman Botani. How cool was that?
The bride and groom

The flower throwing. Zainal cought it. And he is already married. Perhaps another wife? hahaThe beautiful Subang people

Lightning BOLT!!

This is what Olympic is all about!! (or at least, for me)

100m men events rocks the roof out of the bird's nest stadium! Even before the final, the hype was not dissapointing. 7 of 8 finalist qualify with below 10 seconds!! and the odd one out qualify at 10.00 seconds! which is also quite impressive.

The final was electrifying, thanks to the Lightning Bolt. Even the mighty 3 time world record holder, Asafa Powell cant match the lightning pace of Usain Bolt. His blistering pace gave him the world new record time at 9.69 seconds!! And not only that. He literally cruised towards the end of the 100m sprint!! how cool was that?

Ahh.. the Olympics. Lets hope Chong Wei can give Malaysia its first gold medal! :D

Transformers!

I absolutely love Transformers. Be it the cartoon, the movie or the action figure. I dont have to tell you how cool they are right? Great looking car/jets/trucks? check. Awesome looking robots? check. Fantastic engineering feat in transforming? check.

Ive started my action figure fetish when I was in primary school. I had Optimus Prime, Sideswipes, Jazz, and all 6 Constructicons which can combine to form 1 big robot, Devastator. I remember playing them with Azry and sometimes exchange robots for weeks.

I thought playing with those robots is just a phase in my childhood life, like any other child.
Turned out I was wrong. The recent Transformers movie has bring out the inner child of me. Hasbro played a big part too. Their latest robots are soo beautiful yet soo complicated. I was amazed on the the mechanics and the engineering aspects of the robots transforming into their vehicle mode. At first, my intention was only to get Bumblebee, but one thing lead to another, I ended up with Bumblebee plus Optimus Prime, Ironhide, Brawl, Barricade, Blackout and Megatron. haha. They are seductive!

And so this is what I did with my excess free time today. Enjoy.
