GOtcHa!

I have just updated my status in FB. Frankly i have been so addicted... sometimes it is merely a check in. Nope..i didnt intend to brag in what ever i do, where i have my lunch or dinner... its just that i want to be seen and i want my FB to be filled with numerous status.

Notwithstanding all these status i.e making it known to the public on my whereabouts, at the same time i want my personal security to be safeguarded! ...and how is that?

This is a phenomena that entangle most of us. We are 'opening' our secrets to the public... to the universe... to the eyes of irresponsible third parties... something which should actually be done discreetly.  These info are easy and free tools for these kinda people to create incidents that would be categorised as accidents at the end of the day.True... Risks are everywhere.. but calculated risks mitigate unpredictable moments. So be careful guys... we might unintentionally channeling salient info to wrong people.

The advent of technology is the so called sole agent (so far) on some 'inhuman' issues happening around us nowadays. People with smart phones can easily be intruders in our daily life. People can simply make you famous within  a day in FB. KXkX was one of them... when she ran amok with that uncle. Well not fair of her as well on her actions. But people recorded her... and alas! Hey KxKx smile ...  u r on social media !! That was tragic right? Well she learned her lesson well..i bet that.

FB is another tool for us to genuinely seek others' friendship and interactions. The platform is superb! But its 

the people that ruins its original objective. Nowadays romance scams are everywhere in FB. I have  tested this ... haahhaha... they sweet talk you... they texted and called you everyday.. at the end asking money from you. Yeah... you have to be emotionally strong and alert all the times in order not to be one of the preys! I wonder why some people still fall for this kinda of scam. I figured out perhaps it was because of love. Once you are so deeply in loved you are blinded and unable to see the truth... what more to distinguish between right or wrong. How powerful love is yeah!!!

Being human, sometimes we faced and encountered frustration in life... sorrow... sadness... dissatisfaction.. 

Its a brilliant move not to share all those moments on social media... people might interpret differently... 

People cant read your mind... except some acquired skill Tok Mohs who can interpret what's on your mind... hahaa. These kinda status will be shared by your so called friends to some other friends. This is what i call gossip; rejuvenates! heheheheh... the implication is wider and of coz viral as the conduit to channel this info is endless... 

Well this is what we call technology... 

Some people claim that we cant live without technology... yes I agree.

Some people allege that technology is the IN thing ... of coz I agree..

But living in this borderless platform where Internet can invade your life any day.. any time... any minute... all you have to do is to be careful... use your brain, don't ever let your emotions rule you and you wouldn't want people to Gotcha you when you have done something silly... right?

So long peeps!

Practise makes PerFeCT

Okay ... looks like my attempt to write in BM sucks?
I was laughed...they said i wrote 'rojak' and there was no feeling at all. Am i that bad? MA ..teruk sangat ke bahasa saya...

But i thought it was good though... (dengan nada perasan) hehehhe.

Ok mungkin saya perlukan masa untuk memasukkan elemen 'perasaan' dalam tulisan saya. Nanti lah saya cuba ... tapi tak janji lah.. ikut kan hati tiap tiap hari nak update blog...walaupun saya bukan lah blogger tegar.... saja suka suka..bila bosan boleh lah baca balik apa yang saya tulis.

Yup blog ni pun bukanlah untuk saya 'cari makan'. Mana mana kawan yang tau aje yang baca... so hits atau page views meme la takleh pakai...

Kalau orang nak kata saya SS pun terpulanglah. Kalau saya SS pun itu hak saya kan. Tak gitu? This is a free country... as long as i didnt hurt anyone or create any fiasco ..that is good enough.

I am cracking my head to find a topic to write for the croco column. Yin has been chasing me. Will try to come out with an article tonight..if time permits .. Insyallah.

So long peeps!

Lost woRDs - iNi buKaN poYO

Ini bukan POYO!

I have been trying to write an entry in bahasa.. but i am stucked! To certain extent i think a friend who commented subtly that i should uphold my mother tougue language is true. Okay MA you won!

Come to think about it again... seriously thinking perhaps i have a problem on that. Not to say that i haven't written in BM but i guess i write faster in english though. Hey! .. that is an acquired ability...and its not easy to reach to this stage.

In fact there are a couple of entries in my blog that were  written in BM.. flawless... hehehe.

Bukanlah saya berlagak tetapi untuk saya kecapi kebolehan menulis di dlm BI bukanlah suatu  perkara yang mudah.  Ada je entri entri saya yang ditulis dalam bahasa ibunda saya.... hahahaa... nampak...saya dah mula membuat translation... btw what is translation in BM?? Haiyooo i am that bad. ??

Ada kalanya juga saya membuat kerja kerja translation.. tak pun menjadi masalah bagi saya...
Dari BM ke BI atau sebaliknya.

Saya juga ada ruangan dalam Buletin yang diterbitkan oleh organisasi saya... di mana saya menggunakan ruangan itu untuk menyuarakan pendapat saya berhubung sesuatu isu. Pengisian ruangan itu selalunya dalam dwi bahasa..yess ..sebab utamanya adalah untuk memastikan mesej yang ingin saya sampaikan difahami oleh setiap peringkat. Tapi... dah 2 edisi saya terlepas untuk menulis sebab masa tidak mengizinkan...  hahhaah nampak tak macamana saya bijak memberi alasan !

Saya memerlukan sesuatu momen untuk menulis. Idea penulisan saya tidak selalu lancar. Hmmm ni lebih jauh dari amatur. Kalau profesional.. mesti idea keluar mencurah curah...

Kemungkinan besar saya lebih selesa menulis dalam BI kerana tugasan saya yang memerlukan kebanyakan kertas kerja dibuat di dalam BI. Dan suasana kerja yang majoriti ketua ketuanya fasih berbahasa BI... tetapi shhhhhhhh.....pada masa yang sama saya menggunakan dwi bahasa untuk bergosip! Klise kan?

Tetapi bagi saya apa yang penting dalam setiap penulisan saya adalah kepuasan. Dan ini amatlah subjektif di mana kepuasan seseorang dengan seseorang yang lain dalam apa jua hal amat berbeza.

Kemungkinan besar ada antara anda yang suka kopi kampung yang kaw dan pekat. Tetapi ada pula di antara anda yang lebih menyukai kopi zaman moden seperti di starbuck atau coffee bean. Bagi saya dua dua jenis kopi sedap dan mempunyai keunikan sendiri. Apa yang lebih penting pengusaha kedua dua jenis kopi ini mempunyai pengikut mereka yang tersendiri dan meraih keuntungan yang berbaloi.Manakala peminat kopi berasa puas menghirup kopi kegemaran mereka.

Setuju?

Hahahaha... ok saya PoYo!

JaPAn

I saw this entry in my draft folder. Wow this has been long outstanding... 

Yes.. i had a great time. Finally i made my presence in Japan... 

And roping yin in the trip was a good move though. Hahaha. We saved a lot! Frankly i was a bit worried.. to spend my first time holiday in japan with students. Bhahahaha... well after knowing them... they were just like me when i was at their age.

We flew with asia x.  It took us 8 hours to land chung bu airport nagoya. Once landed i craved for coffee and as usual starved for food heheheh. We waited for syana .. a friend of yin. And yes tht sweet gal conversed fluently in japanese  and flawless! M impressed.

Our first meal was awesome...i had bento set in the land of its origin. Thumbs up for the good food. Unlike in msia, here in japan we had to sit on  floor to eat. Our luggage were placed in a locker.

Syana then asked us what was our plan. I overuled the 2 girls..hahaha.. i said we planned to go tokyo. Before that i did ask syana why the stations looked so serene and not as havoc as i imagined...  and i couldnt see all the disciplined japanese executives with suits on the ride. Syana said i could see and feel that hustle and bustle in tokyo. So tokyo..here we come.

We dropped by at kyoto station before leaving for shiga; syana's crib. Even the station had gardens ...

Met 3 lovely women. I guess they are  close friends and spending time together... lovely women!

Syana bought for us the tickets to tokyo. She advised us to take a rest first as our bus will start traveling at 11 pm. And another friend of them will wait. Frankly i am impressed with these girls. Its either they likeee yin so much or they are just so kind hearted. Hahahah.

On the way to shiga we visited syana's uni. Something happened here..when someone had incidentally pressed an orange button in the toilet. The alarm whistled and a crowd of policeman with bicycles went to the toilet for help. hahahah... yin yin... Lesson learnt dont press any button...

We smelt the fresh cool air of tokyo at 6.00 am. Even though it was spring but the weather was so cold.  Reminiscing London in 2003.. .. Tapi nak tunjuk cool ngan d girls.. had to hide the feeling of couldnt stand the cold by acting cool!. Hahahaha.

Here in Tokyo we got to know Nani. Hail from Melaka this girl cooked awesome sambal tumis udang. I could even still feel the taste now ..while writing this.  After a rest.. and making sure that the rest was short n sweet..we started roaming and wandering in tokyo.

Asakusa.. a place that i can associate with petaling street was our first destination. So many things you can find here..except your dad n your mum. According to nani asakusa is a place where delicacies and small souvenirs are easily found. Not bad of a pricing ... i recommend this place as one of the.must.visit places.  Name it... key chains.. tshirts...fridge magnets.. bags.. delicacies.. porcelain pots etc..u got it! A temple  forgotten d name.. was another attraction. Err i visited a temple here.. not sire if there is more than 1..

our next trip was nagoya... where we met yin's friends... these peeps were going to enjoy the longest ride of rollercoster at the theme park. i didnt take any of the ride. takut kang pengsan plak.. tetiba heart attack. hhehhe. the boys and girls had fun. We had dinner together before we left nagoya, time ran si fast ... we need to fetch a train to shiga.

In tokyo byk jugak places that we visited.

Our last pit stop was visiting temples kat kyoto...

let me share some photos ...

they speak on their own.

I enjoyed japan very much...

even tho its quite expensive traveling here.. but the country, people, environment have opened my eyes... to certain extent...

Most of the pics in japan are in my phone. 

But let these photos be the sneak preview..

Thank you girl an boys who have made my presence in japan a worthwhile moments...

Ag3 is CatCHing UP

Lately i am easily tired...
I think i am aging too fast. Hahhahha!!!!

But that' s what i feel. A few years back i can work on anything..u name it. Office works, out station, spring cleaning of the house i can do that without any problem..

Nowadays i need my beloved other half to be part of my agenda i.e doing houae chores!

Like today.. i planned to do spring cleaning of the house. Perhaps my other half noticed the tiresome in me. He did 70% of the spring cleaning. Hey that is part of his responsibility right.. i.e making sure that the queen of his  heart is assisted with all the house chores... what more the helping hand should come from him.

Anyway... my beloved chubby hubby thank u so much. I really appreciate what u hv done today... really it is right from the bottom of my heart.

Lil kiddo? He is as usual with the ipad and practising his guitar. He has hinted me an ukulele for him. Hmmhhhh... how i wish i could be demanding as he is now when i was at his age. Hahhaha... lain dulu lain skarang. This gen Y is totally contradict with gen X. Baby boomers are not counted! Heheheh.

What ever it is ... i am so looking fwd for weekends.. where i can get off my bed a bit late... hv bfast with th3 love of my life and embrace the weekend without having to endure unpredictable pressures  ... hahhaha.

I thibk age is really catching up on me!...  hahahhha. Enjoy your weekend peeps!

Ola!

Ola peeps..

Its has been veeeryyyy long.. this blog is left without any words...
Yup...I wish I could have written all those things that happened.

Yup I was in Japan in April 2014 for a week.  My first backpacking with my mates... 2 of them! It was cool traveling with them... 2 genY. elt like was one of them ... hahahah ... perasan tahap gaban! Visited Tokyo, Kyoto, Nagoya, ... but all photos are in my HP. I love Japan... but not really the life there..perhaps.
everything was in Japanese. Mati kutu dibuatnya tak boleh cakap in English. Overall it was a satisfying journey.

Reaching KL... works were piling up> That was a norm. Worked like hell after that hols!
I was lucky. SOmeone said 2014 is my lucky year. I was chosen to travel to Rome... yuhooooo....
Wait for my pics peeps!

ReAdY for thE truTH?

Woke up at 4am today ... gotta flight to catch at 7am. Another round of meeting on ssp. This time round it will be at Kedah/Perlis.

I wanted to laugh out loud when i was asked to take off my boots just because the sensor made an alarm when i crossed the inspection line/ the check point. Yup it looked awkward... luckily the boots were shiny enuf not to make me looked like a fool.

A colleague of mine snapped pics on me without shoes.. which i thot sumthin that needs to be shared..

The air craft was on time indeed/ in accordance with the schedule.  For quick bfast.. I had my favourite half boiled eggs at the nearest kopitiam. Something that could make me awake i hope..

Boarded.. and upon took off my mind was narrowed down to those passengers and crew of mh370. All of a sudden i had this fear inside me.. i even asked myself am i afraid to die? Not ready to leave my loved ones or simply a reminder...
The truth is...as i always believe.. when the time comes..nothing on this world can stop you from death... its definite.. the only question is how ready are we...

...something to ponder upon i guess but of coz it works as a reminder..not a soft one but i think we all know.

Being air asia.. i guess this is not a general statement..but i qualified it  based on my own experience. The flight was delayed for almost 2 hours. During the ' flying back' a couple of turbulences welcomed us on air.... that made me thought of mh370 again. As all we malaysians wish... its my wish as well to learn  that they are safe wherever they are. If i were to be one of the relatives... being human... i would be frustrated...yes by not knowing the true cause of the incident.. with a hope that everything will soon be answered. And when once unveiled again...are we ready to face and accept the truth... ( i am sure the truth is always disheartening...)

A fLasHBaCk

It is saturday evening. The smell of after rain probed me to flashback. I have been missing him lately. It has been 12 years since he left us. 29 march always ripped my heart apart ... that was the day, the moment he left us.  I know its an absurdity of mine... i am always wanting to receive a reply from an email that i sent to him 3 days before his passing. An email that described what had happened to him and a request for him from his only sister (me) to reply the  email once he' s back on his feet again.

And... yes i didnt receive any email from him after that....

'Missing someone and not being able to see them is the worst feeling ever' (status update in fb) was actually meant to express how much i missed him... 12 years.. i could only 'see' him in the circles of memories.. but i couldnt touch him.. talk to him... hold his hands..

One of his traces in life that he left for us is his 2 girls... oya n qilla. I have wrote something on oya ... 'life without a father' .. an entry in my blog that i wrote emotionally while weeping and sheding tears. Perhaps being the eye witness on what exactly happened to oya on 29 march was like a plot of a film. It ran thru my eyes and mind clear and fresh!

And its always oya who came into picture when i listened to one of celine dion's number ..'dance with my father'. Its a track of flashing back and rewinding of moments while he was still around with us...a month before he left us for good.

Why oya? She is his daughter who has spent her childhood with us.. she can either be my sister and even my daughter. She is the eldest grand child. Watching her grown up without a father at times touches my sensitivity.  I can feel that its tough to have not having a father around. Even now... at my age now i could not imagine to have not having my dad besides us even though i know and keep on reminding myself  the day will come... ( and we never know who is first to be "summoned" by HIM).

Well perhaps this (on missing him) is one of the reasons that forced me to be sensitive lately.. react impulsively...

Allah is great. As i always penned down in most of my entries.. HE knows what is the best for each and everyone of us. Everything happened for a reason which we might or cant even think of... and ov coz with blessings in disguise secretly embeded into it until one fine day we realise..and we think that is an epiphany!

To my late brother Azmin, i still miss you and will always love you for the rest of my life.

May you rest peacefully... till we meet again... the day when we will  be reunited.

Amin..ya rabbal alamin.
