BIG BAD WOLF BOOK SALES 2013

The last one was really awesome, the 2013 event will be probably much better. Location will be the same , I'm hoping that they'll do the same 24 hours round the clock event. Budget wise for 2013 probably not as crazy as the previous one , I'm going for quality rather that quantity ...(rasa cam tak boleh aje ..hmmmmm)

COMMUNITY PROJECT ....(WE CARE)

During last RAMADHAN, me with my SAS 8690 friends initiated a community project for a shelter house in Rawang. The idea was triggered by ARA (Ahmad Rithauddin) and supported by everybody. We've collected cash money almost RM 3000 from friends home and overseas (Nizam is working in UK , Hairil is in Japan for example).

The money was well spent to buy BAJU raya for the shelter house members and also a huge 16 KG washing machine since they really in need of one. Ramadhan is a challenging month to do such an event but Alhamdulillah we manage to complete it.

I know it's been 2 months since we celebrated the Hari Raya Puasa, I just want to share some of the photos taken during the long holidays. Location = multiple relative houses that we've visited. Tq

NEW ADDITION TO MY HOUSE ....

Or rather new installation. I've been planning to install the awning for quite some times but due to some technical difficulties ( duit takde actually), been postponing the project until now. Using my KU2 money (I've always ask my mother in law since she's the 'ibu kutu' to get me the first in the line) so the amount of approximately RM 2000 permits my postponed project to continue. Alhamdulillah I've installed 2 sets of awning 1) 40 x5 (rear awning) 2) 15x9 (back awning).

I've few bigger projects for my house in 2014 but for 2013 cukupla dulu ....tq

SAHUR @ MASJID BUKIT KAPAR

It's just a post to share some photos during the last 10 days of Ramadhan. I'm able to push myself to perform 'QIAMULAIL' at Masjid Bukit Kapar and to have the 'sahur' with the Jemaah at the Mosque. Also I just want to tell everybody how much I missed RAMADHAN and hopefully will be given another chance to meet with the Holy Month next year ....

MY NEW NEIGHBOUR

A cousin of my wife is building a hybrid house (half traditional-half modern) within our neighbourhood and will soon be our new neighbour. Not really sure if they are planning to move in permanently or to make the house as a weekend house but it's a nice setup.

p/s : the photos only show the half of it , the modern half is still in progress .....

I SUPPORT DENVER BRONCOS

 

It's the NFL season again, so far no NFL game being shown at ASTRO but I still can get in touch through the internet. DENVER BRONCOS is my team for this season. The only one big reason is they have the best ever QB to played the game ever PEYTON MANNING ....and as a bonus they have WES WALKER to receive the pass and VON MILLER (kena suspeng 6 game) as the defensive leader ....I'm expecting team to win the superbowl this year .....GO BRONCOSSSSSSS !!!!!

MALE MENOPAUSE ......

I'm currently reading this books ....it's the emotional  menopause ..not physical ...which I think being a person that is welcoming the number 40 this year some of the issues discuss in this books it true ....and I'm not a believer to the "LIFE BEGINS AT 40" movement ...:)

MY HOUSE FROM WIKIMAPIA

Wikimapia is a satellite image website where you can locate the sat image of any places in this world including your house. This is one of the site that I will normally use to energize my students (bila depa ngantuk) showing them how easy to use this website.

This is my house from wikimapia ...and I guess it's an old image since maahad tahfiz which is next to my house is still under construction ....

WAFI GUNTING RAMBUT ......

This is an old photo. A bit of hair styling for wafi by puan faiz. I really like the setup bcause you can see Abang imi (the big brother) doing his best (kena paksa tu) to control the situation using one of the best weapon ...FOOD.

KICAP FOR RM8.50 (VERY EXPENSIVE)

I was at NSK (Meru) assisting Madam Faiz to do the bi weekly shopping. I am OK with the 20 cents fuel increase (being a good citizen of this country). But I'm really having a very big problem when a bottle of 'KICAP KIPAS UDANG' medium size = rm 8.50 .....the price of JALEN brand is RM 4.90 and we're talking abut the same medium size bottle ....

p/s : ada truffle or caviar ke inside the bottle ...adoiii ..and also roti canai @ Alam Budiman mamak corner is noe RM 1.10 sekeping ....more control of the price pleaseeeeee

BACK FROM A LONG BLOGGING BREAK (BB)

MALAY FAMILY LIVING IN USA

This is currently my favourite youtube video site. There're about 98 videos showing how their family (Malaysians living in the USA) run their day to day activities. Remind me during my time living abroad ages ago ...

A STORY OF 'KASUT SEKOLAH'

                                                             THE REPLACEMENT


I'm not really sure if I wanted to blame my son or to blame the quality of the nowadays SCHOOL SHOES. There will be few times in a year where I have to buy a new pair of shoes for him (his younger sister included).


OK, understood they have numbers of out of the class activities which requires some high intensity usage of the shoes but the same goes with me when I was their age , going to school and joining 'KELAS PJ' but my shoes LAST LONGER .....

Probably at the end of the day it's the business model the NEW SCHOOL way ..create a product that will not last very long hence will increase the sales volume .....Adiossss

                                  THE 'WHY WE BOUGHT A NEW SHOE (SEE THE BELOW)

SRI DAMANSARA - DAMANSARA DAMAI .....

The road stretches about less than 3 km. With a normal driving speed like mine it should take less than 2 minutes. But this area is legendary for its notorious traffic jam. During the first day of Ramadan ...going back from my office ..that stretch alone tooke me about 2 hours ...first the traffic was bad as usual ...secondly everybody wanted to go back early to break fast ..and on top of that ..a bog lorry decided to broke down in the middle of Sri Damansara blocking 1 lane ...

That's life I guess ...you just have to go with the flow ...but I've improvise a bit ...now before going back I'll check the latest traffic updates ...

MAKAN2 BEFORE RAMADHAN

This is an example of on the spot planning. Initially we wanted to have a simple outdoor BBQ. Since our 'guest house' is being occupied by the workers for Rasul's weekend house project, we decided to have just a simple makan2 minus the BBQ inside the house. It's the best time to get everybody together just before RAMADHAN

BECOMING A PUBLIC TRANSPORT USER ....

VIEW FROM INSIDE THE TRAIN (IT'S THE LATEST TRAIN FROM KTM)

NOW I CAN ENJOY MY READING ...

WINDOW SEATING AND ENJOYING THE VIEW ...

After almost 10 years driving to office , I've decided to switch to public transportation. It's a bit challenging trying to adapt to sudden changes but I survive :) Overall not really bad at least :

1) Now I'm more motivated to get up early (solat subuh on time and @ surau)
2) Daily exercise (walking from station to station)
3) Reading (I can now read books while enjoying the ride ...)
4) And others .....

p/s : And not to forget I'm also contributing to the environment ...:) ...GO GREEN (ehhh betul ke ???)

A VERY STRAWBERRY MOMENT .....

Had this photos taken during the recent Cameron Highland trip. This is a makan place that we often visited. Located in Brinchang and not far from the famous Cameron 'pasar malam'. And we're not having sort of like a hi tea but LUNCH ....full with the yummy strawberry ...

p/s : tak kenyang laaaa :)
