OUR RECYCLING PROJECT

This idea was triggered by Widad (my no 2) probably after knowing that one can make extra money selling used plastic bottle. The collection center will be our 'out of order' washing machine. And according to widad the money that we'll get will be used to fund our next family vacations . (banyak lagi botol nak kena kumpul ni ) ...

Anyway it is still a good recycling project.

NEW PC @ OFFICE

I've been waiting for this since we moved to this new building. Having my own PC is much much better than having to share with most of my colleagues. Thanks to the management for the approval (finally). Hoping that with this additional machine the performance of lecturers (including myself) overall will be much better.

NEW HOUSE FOR UNCLE MAN AND AUNTY BAYA ...:)

My sister in law and her husband plus the newly born Alisya will be moving to this new house very soon. It's a 3 room single storey bungalow with spacious rooms and located just 10 minutes drive from our house. The main contractor is the husband of my other sister in law ( pakai kroni je) and at this point of time it's 80% completed. Congratulations to both the contractor and the house owner.

WAFI IN 'MERAJUK' MODE

When she is not satisfied with something she will be in this mode ...:)

FLOOD ALERT SYSTEM

This is a view from my SURAU. The odd looking machine with antenna is not to be used to hunt UFOs but it's built as a flood alert system for my kampung. It can detect the level of water especially during monsun season (like the one that we're experiencing now) and will create a loud alarming sound if the water level is reaching the danger zone.

KL was hit by flash flood yesterday and it's good to have more of this alarm system just to alert people so that they will have enough time to react. Majority of city folks are blaming the SMART tunnel of not being very smart and personally I do not blame them for that. We definitely need a better system.

TASIK PERBANDARAN @ KULIM

It's supposedly the Tasik Perdana version in Kulim. Located just next to the Bus Station it is planned to be sort of like a family recreation facilities where people can come and have a simple picnic or bbq session with families while enjoying the lake view.

I'm not really sure where's the problem but it seems the lake was not really taken care very well. You can easily see huge amount of rubbish being thrown into the lake (very low public awareness). To the extent that the authority has to setup a special team just to clear the rubbish from the lake.

p/s : The idea is very good but the implementation/management could be improved.

HOKKAIDO CAKE ......

I snap this photo just outside this cake shop. Very interesting to know that there's a cake called Hokkaido Cake. Not really sure if it's really representing some ingredients from Hokkaido or not but the name it self manage to get my attention.

p/s : I wonder if we can create a cake called Bukit Bintang Cake ...:)

THE PICKERS : FLEE MARKET @ AMCORP MALL

American Pickers has been one of my fav tv show. It's amazing of how massive the world of antiques collectors market in the US. Old advert signs has been always my fav and looking at Mike and his partner doing the searching and haggling for the best price to purchase the antiques is really interesting.

Amcorp Mall offer me the closest of the above experience, the flee market (the antique dept at the lowest floor) give me the opportunity to see in reality a very good antiques collection. Price wise is a bit expensive probably that is why good negotiation technique will be applied.

p/s : next time during BALIK KAMPUNG I will have my own Pickers session at my grandma house ...;)

MY MANCAVE ....

WELCOME (EVERY MAN NEED HIS OWN CAVE ..HEHEHEHE)

MY SECOND LIBRARY ( I HAVE ANOTHER ONE IN THE MAIN HOUSE)

JUST A REMINDER OF MY GOOD OLD GOLFING DAYS ...

It's my personal area (seperated from the main house). This is where I do my readings, relax my tired self and in the future probably will be also the guest house for visitors.

p/s : it's good to have a place where one will not be disturbed (toilet pun boleh apa ...hehehehe)

FOOTBALL GAME : SELANGOR VS JDT @ SHAH ALAM STADIUM

JDT (Johor Darul Takzim) has been one of the most powerful team in our local football scene. They are the malaysian version of chelsea or PSG using the power of KACHINGGGGG ($$$$) to lure top footballer.

So when it's Selangor (the red giant) time to face them at Shah Alam we've decided to go. One thing very positive about JDT fan is their professionalism. They want to watch good football match not to fight with the opponent's supporter. For that I salute them.

However facing a very motivated Selangor team in Shah Alam is not easy and JDT was beaten 4-1. Not a memorable night for JDT captain Safiq Rahim (who was the captain of Selangor last season) , every time he tough the ball , 50,000 selangor supporters will BOOOO him ...anyway that is the price to pay when you ditch your team ...:)

p/s : local football scene still OK laaaaa

MY FRIEND THE STIMULATION THERAPHIST ....

Adlan Wahab is a very good friend of mine. We've been to the same high school (SAS)  and University (UUM). He's now the IT Manager with PLUS ( the highway operator).

Few months back I was at this open day in Bukit Raja ( invited by Rosdan Teh) and I saw Adlan and his wife (suryani yahya) setting up a booth and providing visitors with some sort of health checking. It's alternative therapy method that he has learned to detect health problem. First he will check using some sort of massage technique and then he will determined what kind of health problem one might have ..for further treatment.

Not bad for an IT Manager ...:)

IN COLORING MODE (WAFI)

We bought a coloring books for wafi and immediately she decided to give it a try, probably that the magical connection between kids and color. We've decided to minimize the assistance and to let wafi do her own stuff.

p/s : kids and creativity is a very good combinations ....

MY CUBICLE

This 5x5 cubicle has been my area 51 since 2004. All the class preparations, exams and others are prepared here. The big no 27 tu is a reminder of how many leaves that I still have for year 2013 :).

p/s : it's good to include family photos as a mode of inspiration and also telling people that I'm not available ( perasan la ...)
