FAREWELL TO A GREAT CHEF, BOMBA MAN AND A DADDY

MY BROTHER – AYOB! 13th November 2009 – 5.10pm

Ayob, my eldest brother, a leader and the most loved ones in the family have passed away that afternoon i.e. 5.10pm at Ipoh General Hospital. He left his 6 children and his wife for 25 years.

I know almost every inch of his lifestyle, passion, capability, attitude, sincerity and truthfulness. Great dad, great cook, great leader and love his children and his siblings very much indeed. Never heard of him lying and always tell the truth no matter how big is the problem to all his siblings and off course as the eldest he has full power to dictate.

I remember me & G (my bro) always trying to avoid him/or not to let him know all the shit we are facing. If facing any difficulties, we do our best to settle it by ourselves (We, the nasty boys) or if Ayob knows our activities…meaning doom day for us… hehehehe. Well, as long as I can remember and I bet G (my bro) will agree with me on this….Ayob never lay a single hand/or kick our butts since our younger days till adulthood (although we did giving hell of problem).

If he is angry he will just give his instruction on whatever cause of action and we just follow else if he piss-off he might kill us hehehehe!…So any problem we’re facing, we try not to bring it to him and make sure he will be the last to know. Fuhh Ayob..Ayob…Ayob! A great brother!

Whenever I met Ayob, he remind me of my dad…his face, his attitude, the way he talk, the way he listen…so much so like my dad. He is a great cook indeed, he love to do all sort of cooking for his siblings and family member. He is a detail type and perfectionist I presume…always want everything in order before he do the cooking job and always want to do it by himself without other people helping him.

Reason, he don’t trust others can do what he can and he will not feel comfortable if he delegate the job to others and afraid the job will be coming back to him hehehe. So he will do everything by himself (So that how perfection he wanna be) and damn.. he’s not a good manager hehehe!.

When he cook, he always being creative and try to create or improvise any recipes and the result is tremendous and I bet, that is what happen when he cook with creativity and sincerity.

I remember on that day in the hospital, so many crowds i.e. more than 200-300 people, the hospital ward is congested and the doctor/nurses requested the attendees to evacuate the place and give more space to them to do their work. I guess the crowds visiting him just wanna pay respect for his generosity, truthfulness and also due to his strong ties with the communities, friends and family.

Manage to spend time for about 3 hours with him and my family in that hospital; he is incautious state until end of his life. I saw all the siblings and his family crying and letting him go peacefully. My youngest bro, Az coming late in that afternoon (he did not witness the occasion) and he is the last to kiss Ayob before they shifted him to another place.

When I saw Az, his tearing eyes showing how much he love his brother. Yupp!!! I’m touch with that moment.

Ayob is one of the example…He has a decent job in BOMBA Ipoh (Fire & Rescue Dept) at the same time he and his family manage a small retail business (Manage by his wife & daughter “Along”) i.e. selling bakery stuffs, breads & muffins (Roti) to coffee shop, restoran, school canteen, bridal places, resort.

He used his van to deliver all sorts of bakery product to these places and manage to have strong ties of relationship with his customers. I saw honest, respect, politeness, caring is his key of success. The “KIFAYAH” in Muslim world is purely practice in his day to day life. With the never ending crowd, as what my dad did say before, you can see how great that man is if huge crowd attended his funeral day. Yupp!!!...AYOB you are a great man indeed.

The next day i.e. 14th November 2009, 11 am, funeral day, hugh crowd, Kampung People, his customers i.e. Indian, Chinese, Malay..just name it. Everybody come to pay the last respect…..hmmh I told myself, you don’t need to be Michael Jackson, Ayob just being himself all the way.

As your brother, not to worry about your family, I’ll fulfill my responsibility and commitment towards your family, enjoy your life there and send my regards to our beloved dad and our ancestors before us. Peace be upon you my bro! Love you always!

Note:

To all my siblings, we have ten before and now its nine left!.........Again it’s a beautiful nature and cycle of life.

NOVEMBER RAIN

Monsoon season has arrived; East Coast region being affected by flood and same goes to the North & Central….That is yesterday news. Looking at the weather, uhh unpredictable indeed!

During that raining day although tight schedule ahead, manage to Balik Kampung (Ipoh) with my mum last weekend, my Grandpa passed away. I.e. He is the younger brother of my actual Grandpa and being the youngest among the siblings in that family/generation. Now that generation bearing the same surname is no longer exist in this world, and picking up by 2nd generation which no longer having the same surname. Generation lost!

Hmmh….I’m giving my last respect to the family of the deceased, and we saw people preparing the burial occasion, participated by the whole people in that kampong.

I observe the surrounding…emmh warm gathering! God’s Creation, beautiful life cycle!

Ohh, sorry for taking longer time to update my column, I know you guys waiting for my updates….very tight time and busy handling several assignment on my new job.

Clock is still ticking here, my last day with this organization ended on 30th Nov i.e. end of this month..uhhh!

On my family, my son is doing great,…he’s huge, as usual my Shea still mumbling on her schools & homeworks etc..etc.

Be back guys. Got to go now!

“OPEN HOUSE” GATHERING

Last Monday, 19th is the last day of Syawal Month (Eid Fith Festival). Most of Govt / Private sectors busy inviting customers, friends & family to their open houses “Free Food for Everybody” during this month. This culture only exists in Malaysia, emmh… proud to be one actually!

Same goes to the Co’s where I work, we having our “Open House” on that 19th, Monday and the crowd is good. We invited most of our customers and business partners. Most of my officemate is there with all the key personnel nationwide. Just feel like losing them forever uhhh… my last day will be 30th Nov.

Back to that event, I can feel the uneasiness of my team and maybe they’re thinking what going to happen to them beginning next year (I’m not around to witness it). So many rumors, latest news, reshuffling exercises, VSS, termination of contract etc..etc. Well all rumors I guess…maybe genuine who knows.

Mr. Templer did ask me to stay put until end of financial year which dated 31st March 2010. Uhh that’s too long I said. i.e given my words to the other party - the New Co’.
I’m supposed to join them on 1st December 2009.

While looking at people around me that day, customers, business partners, the new team whom being appointed to take over my dept, I feel bad & weird….…..

The new team seems like not well train, inexperienced and unqualified to take over. Artificial gesture and greetings appearing on that day and to be exact, that is not what it supposes to be. I observe my client and business partners feel awkward when being greeted by this new team. At the end, they still looking for me and wanted me to be with them chatting. I do believe every relationship must take some time to develop, the chemistry on this new team is still not there yet since its newly born, I did remind them i.e. the new team, sincerity in relationship is very important not just taking care of people feeling but also to be honest and truthful on the job or task being assigned.

Although it’s no longer under my care, the head, who’s taking over that place should aware and observe the business partners and customers feeling so that he can plan better in the future inline with business partners consensus.

Well that history I guess, my clock is ticking……for the time being I must assured my service to the business partners maintain as usual.

Personal Note:
Hmmh can’t imagine who’s appointing this bunch of dumb & idiots…….He who appoint them must be an idiot too!

Ohh yeah, my boss also an idiot....…hmmh… no wonder!

TIME TO FLY

Sorry guys, its has been a while huh!. Sorrylah…too much need to be done, worklah whatelse. Tight schedule i.e. driving from north to south really tiring. My horrible insomnia still there, thanks to Hasan, he manage to assist by giving me the necessary sleeping pills.

Emmh, back to my stories, I’m going to resign from my current position and start a new career in life. Hmmh, feeling of being jobless appear back hehehe!

Back to memories, my x-CEO is the one who pull me in although I resist joining but he manages to convince me to assist him. Well that’s all history – he is no longer in the company. Its have been 4 ½ years - I guess. My contribution is crystal, most of the business partners and customers still cannot accept that I’m leaving this company i.e. no longer meeting them, talk nonsense and or say hello over cup of coffee heheheh!.

Well its time to go, I don’t owe anybody! just feel sad looking at my staff. They really plain and enjoy their work. Very dynamic and hunger for direction. I love them so much. Well of-course, once myself stabilize and the infra ready for them, sure I’ll pull them out and psycho them to join me hehehe!

At the moment, I’m still here doing my routine – clock is ticking, 1 month to go! On that last day, I start surrendering all the company belongings i.e. car’s key, biz card, file etc-etc. Uhhuk..Uhhuk it must be a sad-sad day. Looking at the staff..hmmh. Although they hate me, deep inside them.… the feeling of losing. Ohh God! I hate that day.

Well, I should chart my traveling map again; emmh I do have time to travel now! Hehehe.

ROAD TO BHUTAN

Manage to sipped cup of tea with blogger’s friend Vampire last Monday. She planned trip to Bhutan for the past 17years, since no teammate wanna join her, she just drop her dream. I know she hate traveling alone!

Deep in my heart, I’m surprise Bhutan, why not Kathmandu/Nepal and it’s nearer to Himalaya or Everest. I did come across Bhutan but the stories about that country just disappear and never appear in my traveling chart, and I’m so damn jealous of her. My minds always trigger Nepal why Nepal and not Bhutan. Hmmhh..what the hack am I thinking. Why should I left-out the “Land of the Thunder Dragon”!!!! Bhutan used to be one of the most isolated nations in the world.

Ohhh shit! I should thank her for reminding me whats like to visit that place! Shittt…….shiiittt!

Road to Bhutan 2011!!!!!!!!!!!!!. Bhutan, with wisdom, respect and sincerity just wait for my arrival!

RAYA GATHERING

Just back to KL after long holiday. Well, during Raya we just stay at home and having barbeque for diner. This due to my eldest brother not recovering from injury i.e. falling from roof tops i.e. his knee/pelvic bone fracture. So we cannot go anywhere for family trip or outing. After finish our session on request for forgiveness to the eldest and everybody, we doing our own things. After this week, my mum will be left alone again; all my siblings will be heading back to their own house.

I’ve a chat with mum during our visit to the memorial park, visiting the grave of my Dad, Grandma/Pa. She said that she don’t know whether she is still available to see my Shea & Avee going to school which expected to be next 3-4 years. Hmmh.. I told her, not to worry she will be there to witness it. She just smiles while looking at me, that smile remind me that she knows that I’m talking shit as usual. Were thinking to bring her for a vacation next year maybe I’ll organize a family trip for mum & my siblings somewhere on Mar/Apr next year, cheap air fares whatelse..hehehe.

Back to Hari Raya gathering, this special day is specifically tribute to the Eldest in that generation or family, since mum still there, the function of parent is still exist although dad’s not available, dad’s function is taken over by my eldest brother and his wife. Once mum’s no longer there, the 1st generation disappear and the 2nd generation will take over. The “weight of balik kampong” is no longer there and it’s solely depends on the siblings either they want to defend the current culture or they free to do their own things with their family. I’ll choose to defend the current culture and let my children learn and aware that obedient and respect of the eldest is a must in a family.

In life, we have to face several process of maturity and it all depends on our willingness to accept it and will power to face it, either its negative or positive it’s totally depend on our perception. Good or bad is just perception in life. Sometimes good thing we perceived is bad for the other people and same goes to bad things happen in life, sometime it’s good for other people who face it. In life just accept what it is in front of us and the nature will make us understand more. Same goes to process of implementation!

These remind me to my sister, her husband is a polygamist practitioner and she is still in a state of denial and cannot accept the truth in life that she is now facing. Result for not accepting it, she lost her mind, always tense & stressful. Phobia of meeting people, prejudice of people looking down/bad at her, talk nonsense, unfocus attention each time she converse when meeting people is a result of how bad that she need a psychiatric treatment. Now she is totally lost in space and against nature. As what my bro G mentioned, the hubby is responsible to bring her meeting the psychiatric specialist. Hmmh I’m agreed with that, married for all this long years, at least he should be more responsible by bringing her as a 1st wife to see a doctor. Its his rights anyway, he is the one who marry her and take her away from the family, most of the siblings cannot do anything because in our culture, she is no more in the family - She is a wife to somebody. The hubby is the one who spark the fire, also known as the “holy man” who can marry more than one, so he should take that rights and protect her.

Personal Notes:

Perception of any women in this world - relationship, love and life cannot be shared. To accept a husband who’s having 3 more wives after her without her noticing it? It’s really a joke and disaster.

Hmmh… against nature means disrespect, dishonest, disloyal; disobey the nature rules and regulation. What to do, what comes around turns around. Rule of Nature!

Sincere is a words, implement it is another!

SELAMAT HARI RAYA – EID MUBARAK

Ramadan going to end soon, well today is the 28th day of the holy month, and the Victorious Day (Hari Raya) expected to be this Sunday. The whole Muslim world will be celebrating Eidul Fith, while in Malays community, most of them will be going back to their hometown to celebrate with their parents and love ones. Visit the relatives and start chatting just to get back what have lost the whole year.

Same goes to me, at night we (My family) will be having diner together will all the siblings, their children and start talking about our daily life, work, kids, and lots more to share since that’s the only gathering day throughout the year. After diner everybody starts doing their own things, well as for me, I’ll be waiting for my school mates to arrive at my parent’s house.

Usually my parent’s house is the port /or point to meet. Most of my schoolmates will be arriving late which is after 10pm, and most of us eager to meet each other since it’s the only gathering activities throughout the year. We still friends although just once in a year, and this activities has been there for the past….emmhhh…..I think when I’m damn young …uhhh..its more than 20 years….GOSSHHH!!!!

As always, our annual gathering ceremony will be held everywhere, either snooker/pool table and will end up to confidential meeting or we called it as KNIGHT OF THE ROUND “CASINO” TABLE, I know that everybody (My schoolmates) looking forward for that round table meeting. That meeting will cover almost every inch of world economy, politics, environment, history, geography, life, religion and etc….almost everything…hehhehe, in the meantime everybody piss-off at each other while looking at who’s winning the Black Jack or Poker Games. After the games, which usually end-up after 6am, we will be together having our teh tarik or roti canai before heading back to our belongings, and will continue chatting next year without fail. Huuh that’s what I called friends babe!...hehhehe.

Well, that enough about my activities during that day, when looking back to my house, emmh….
Dad no longer there, only mum living alone at that house. She’s old and weak, always come to my mind what it’s like getting old and living alone. Growing old meaning more sensitive, want more attention and care. It’s not easy to take care an old women especially a mother, but a mother can take care 10 children without fail to realize it. Live and die, death comes to everybody. When dad’s pass away, mum didn’t have any Hero to protect her. She just needs a person who can listen to her mumblings and obey whatever instruction she’s giving. I know that not even one of her children can replace dad, but everybody is doing whatever best they can to give her better life, security and comfort.

I’m thinking to cook her favorite and also my favorite’s “rendang tok” this Saturday, I’m going to learn from her how cook that dishes and also Kuah Kacang (Peanut Sauce) for the Ketupat (Kiub Rice covered with coconut leaves).

I know time is not on mum’s side, I’m trying my best to fulfill whatever she wants in life before leaving us for good. She is damn healthy and enjoys every second of her life, deep in my heart I know that she is praying to leave the world without “menyusahkan semua orang”. She is the plain type…peace and harmony, she will make sure that she is going without hate or regret only love. Till to date, I feel I’m not doing enough for her, and if she goes now…..meaning I’m the most regret person i.e. doing nothing for her!!! I’m the most scumbag, naughtiest and notorious among all my siblings. The record shows without fail…hehehhe!
Well…Mak just request whatever you want in life, with my spirit, soul and body, I doing the best to fulfill it!

Personal Notes:
Aged factor – Growing Old is a must, complement nature and not against it! I love you Mak!

To all my readers and bloggers friends, SELAMAT HARI RAYA, from the depth of my heart, MAAF ZAHIR DAN BATIN

Jack.

NATURE’S RESURRECTION

Just being brief by Mr. Tuah & also spoken to Mr. Jebat on the current scenario of Malaysian economy and moving forward agenda on our project & businesses. Well, feel great looking at all parties involved and their pledging commitment on this new project.

History being created and I do believe the nature’s flow by itself. All the team commitment, focus, sacrifice and hardship for the past 2 years have been proven and their dedication almost unbearable and my uncontrolled tears flow without notice.

Uuuhhh…such a great friends & buddy.

Tuah, Jebat, Hasan, Zam, Bob, Mud, Az, Ina…..you guys are wonderful! Our strength is trust, sincerity, total sacrifice and being united as one! Just keep it up …we have several more long years a head.

The journey just begins, long way to go guys! We are the dream team!

My note:
Focus, sacrifice and hardship are an essence of a better life. We human have been given freedom to choose and has full of choices. As long we work hard for it, obey nature rules and regulation, love our family & GOD.

I do believe peace and harmony will be upon us. My principle, as long as we didn’t take what not belong to us and protect our belongings, is good enough.

Hey…..infront of us just death! So what …….Lets fight for our right!

LOOK FAR EAST

Just came back from my visit to East Coast, so delay in updating this column is expected.

Several discussion, plan/direction being cook up with my teammate there, yet solution still not appear. Eeiiyukk!!!!!!!….

Sometime I feel pity looking at my team. They strive to contribute but due to external factors, creativity being blocked………! I just remind myself – progress of decision making also contributed by nature’s factor. If it’s not yours….well its not!

Same goes to my belief… “Whatever mine, I’ve to protect, develop & fought for it, if it’s not - just don’t bother…walk away!!! Hehehehe.


Emmh….My Note:

For Muslim out there, happy fasting! May your life lavish with wisdom & good health.
Eid Fith is coming! Hope we can forgive & forget all wrong doings and continue to move forward.

INDEPENDENCE DAY!.... MERDEKA! MERDEKA! MERDEKA!

Wondering on the words above, August Month in Malaysia is known as Merdeka (Sovereignty Celebration) Month! Or the so called Independence Day lah! Haiiyaa…..

I remember writing similar article somewhere last year, about my Dad view and perception on Merdeka. Well, it seems that his spirit still with me all along. Great fighter he was, his adrenalin, spirit & blood flowing every inch of my body.

In this Ramadan month, the feeling of freedom and satisfaction being human is irresistible, the taste of hunger and feeling of high without taking any dope – uhh I love it so much. It keeps me well alert and the strength/energy flows throughout my body and very sensitive with nature and surroundings. I love observing the environment, people, night and daylight.

hmmh..enough about me,…. My brother in-law just update me on his duty as a pilot coordinator to ensure the success of copter timing to make a royal salute (lintas hormat diraja) on this coming 31st August, and how big is the event going to be. The Royal Highness will be there and accompany by the Cabinet Ministers and other corporate captains/figure. This event is going to be special since it will be held in the Parliament Building. Yeah I do believe it special tho! What in the hell they are doing there? Gosh!!! The space is limited mahh! Virus will spread like nobody business man!

Manage to surf on the Net, bloggers & politician keep stressing their so called view or perception about Merdeka, emmh …its not much about Merdeka…it seem more on politics what else, about celebration and showing who’s right or who’s wrong. Sigh!!!….huh!!! Nothing to be proud of lah.

Merdeka!!! Are we Merdeka enough to contribute, Are Merdeka enough to make our own decision, to be free and breakaway from all these political nonsense. Are we Merdeka enough just to make sure the economy is on the right path and positive for our future generation? Are we Merdeka from A H1N1. Are we Merdeka enough just to have a decent job and earn a sincere livelihood?

Emmh still wondering….. is that Merdeka!

Or is it RIP (Rest in Peace)……. Nah..thats truly Merdeka huh!

HAPPY FASTING – RAMADAN IS HERE!!!

Guys, wishing all of you Happy Ramadan – May journey of your soul/spirit continue to prosper and colorful!

Jack!

VISIT ART LAND

Manage to meet some old friends at PENA last Saturday, Helen, Abg Mad, My bro Art & group is there doing some artwork. We chat for not even ½ an hour. Point of visit is to introduce my new born to everybody, not enough time since I’m rushing for Kedah trip that same day….hahh miss the old days.

Everybody in good shape and healthy, my daughter really enjoy it. She enjoys that short moment with Helen; listening both of them laughing and chatting really touches my heart. I bet both of them can be damn good buddy if time permitted.

Looking at the place & inconsistency of the new land owner in providing extra space & support for our local artists to do their job, really burn me. “Piss-off” what else. Yeah that is what happen when you “tumpang” people’s place. That place is expected to be develop soon, high rise building I guess – what else. Nobody even care on this artist contribution to the society and arts world. Most of them should be categorize as national heritage & support should be given to them due to their commitment for the country’s arts & crafts development.

Hahh! What to do, things is not as simple as it’s seen. Well, if I’ve money, I’ll buy a warehouse and put them there, provide small office for clerk to record all the necessary expenses “needs” for related necessary raw material and provide them all the comfort to produce more artworks. Make a small/smart art gallery in front of the warehouse and display all sort of creativity/arts/craft produce by them to the public. Let the public value and taste their contribution and pay the price offered.

“Artwork is an exclusive asset for exclusive people in an exclusive market” – Phrase by International Best Seller “Book on Art Business Marketing”. This phrase remind me on another book written by Stan Lauryssens “Dali & I – The Surreal Story” – one of my favorite, about scandals, black market of International Arts Industry which produce multi billions transaction in Exclusive High End Europe market.

Looking back at my own country….fuuhhh!!!!!!!!.......... How to be at par or catch up the said market….. We are not 20-30 years far behind…it’s might be more than 40-50 years behind them “The West” I mean.

How to improvise……? No Clue….. So now whatever Strength & Weaknesses we have (either money or product) just used it smartly. Opportunity & Threat is always there for us to face it.

Hmmhh……wondering!

VICTIMIZE BY A H1N1!

Just received damn bad news today, friend of mine, Mr. Avanza has been detected positive Influenza A H1N1. I hate myself when the feeling of can’t do a thing to help & assist, so much so its weaken myself. Quarantine means “Cannot Visit, drink coffee with him & Say Hello”. Damn fucking virus!!!!!!!!!!! I feel like somebody or some structured organization release this so called high-tech weapon i.e. “virus” and purposely let it spread to the world today while some company going to make a hell of good money by selling the vaccine of cure. Maybe some Defense Co’s makes billions in a short frame of time. Prejudice …yupp… hell I am!

Piss-off!! Yupp!…I do so!

To my great friend Mr. Avanza, we always be with you and inside you. Let’s fight this virus together; quarantine will take 4-7 days, let’s pray for the best. In the meantime, rest assured your family is safe & taken care of!

We are brothers! Trust Me & Tuah Biduanda, we honor our brotherhood spirit & fulfill your request wholeheartedly with plain and sincerity.

To my Bro Avanza!...Be well soon – Both of us (Me & Tuah) cannot wait to strike the lightning together with you Bro!

Jack.

JUST DO IT PROFESSIONALLY

I remember phrase given by an old friend of mine…..we did play hockey match together in a team and during that match, we are at the losing side 0 to 7(opponent leading) and since it’s a losing battle, before the last whistle blow - he said to me “Jack! My friend, if we going down, we must go down professionally and in style”. So once the final whistle blow, we shout & screaming ….horrrray…..horrayyy….hooorayy and running around the field like lunatics ….catching hens for dinner.

Our classmates (Indian Chaps)or the so – called hard core supporter bringing broken desk from nearby classroom and start knocking the desk to create sound of Drum or Tabla (Indian Drum), as if it’s a “SAMBA DAY & CELEBRATION” for the glory of losing. So we dancing, running around and make a horrible sound of celebration. Huh! I love the old days. Chinese, Indian, Malay Sikh, Portuguese…just name it…everybody is so united in that School “St Micheal” off course.

The spectators and the opponent blinking their eyes without understand what da hell happen “What are they celebrating about?...the losing game? or they just nuts”.

From my point of view….ehhh…it’s professionally done! Very professional and stylist.

Either win, loose or draw…. We should celebrate in style and be united………hahahaha.

Back to our society here, emmh…wondering abut the local news & politician. Ayooyo!
What da hell happen man!!! We are 30-40 years backward and not moving forward.
They just keep on spinning-spinning & spinning!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Aren’t they aware of the danger of being disunited? Be professional and lead in style…..ohhh!!! I missed Tun Dr. M. Hoping if he can shade some light here.

H1N1….is so damn deadliest, wake up everybody and face it professionally. Be prepared of this highly dangerous virus. At this moment everybody should be united to fight this pandemic & not wasting time politicking. As of today 14 people confirm dead.

Personal Remark:

So many idiots in our society…..in the name of Jesters aka MPs or whatever their name is. I do believe these clowns should be remove and vacant their seat. Any suggestion on suitable candidate for Dictator Post?

What else…this country need somebody who can dictate!

VIRUS STRIKE

My apology for delay in updating this column. I know everyone is waiting for my update. Emmhh…busy with my paperwork and projects.

OK on my family.
My new born is fine, his sister also in good shape. Both of them seem to love each other. Just received Congrats e-mail from Helen, Gosh!!! Almost forgot to update everybody on my newborn. Thanks to my Bro Art for informing everybody on my behalf.

OK on H1N1 Virus.
Just look at the news on H1N1, gosh!!! It’s horrible news. This virus spread so fast and yet no cure. Looking at the death toll…now has reach up to 6 nationwide and believes me, more to come. The ministry of health should do more on this, i.e. supply the mask to public, request people to avoid public places, avoid playing at the park for children, or supply free hand wash antiseptic to school & what not. I just feel that the Ministry of Health not doing enough, they need to act fast and improve more. I remember when I arrived at Indonesia, it take the Indon’s Health Personnel nearly 20 minutes just to have health screening test on me and interviewing me on country that I’ve visited. Long queue off-course, but everybody seems understand the necessity of the screening and for the benefit of everyone who arrived.

When I reach KLIA, I’m surprise! It’s like not much being done i.e. scanning randomly and not thorough unlike other country, they not even do the health screening on me. It’s just weird. Just feel sad with the infected group that raises more than 1,500 people.…..

Public/People need to be aware, and extra careful on facing this dangerous pandemic. Without public cooperation and support, I do believe the Ministry of Health cannot fight or counter this virus alone.

New Blog In Town.
Uhh, before I forget, you guys should go to http:travelmal.blogspot.com, my beloved friend (Mr. Avanza) going blogging the unblog,

Congrats Bro!!! I enjoy your blog! Welcome to blog world.

D’ CHOSEN ONE

Monday 6th July 2009, 1.52pm, my wife delivered a baby boy in the name of Avee. The arrival of Avee – makes my life more meaningful. D’ chosen one!

He is my new family member now, as for my son – GOD gives me this responsibility & trust to raise him. I’m flattered & honored! From my spirit, soul & blood it means a lot to me.

People keep questioning me the meaning of the name. Well it’s an ancient name in Malay (Only God knows), in Arabs its mean Leader also in Hebrew.

Everything I want is that my son to be an ordinary plain & clear guy, respect & love his parent, be humble, honest and sincere towards his family, work, community, people & country.

Jack.

MEMORY LANE – Part 2

One of the most memorable is the Jalan Lam Looking, or local people call it “belakang loken”. This place is full of cheap stuff, car boot sale, small hut/stall selling all sort of nonsense…hehehe I mean you can find car spareparts here, antique furniture, germ stone, old lamp, crack mug, dirty shoes, junk t-shirts, old newspaper, beggar everywhere…old frame…you just name it…heheheh! Manage to buy pair of adidas - find it tho at that place.

Ohh yeah don’t forget to dropby at Jubilee Park, It has been there more than 50 years I think. An old amusement centre /or low class gambling area I presume - damn funny, all the games were outdated yet the old timer still spending their money just to have that same old fun/games/tricks without feeling bored. Gosh, when I look at the people and surroundings, emmh - I do recognize such familiar faces..emmhh they "Growing Old" hehehe.

Ipoh well known cartoonist – Datuk Lat.
Whenever I saw the “Datuk Lat” cartoon books either its “Kampung Boy” or “Town Boy”, its all about Ipoh Town! He manages to transform all his teen memories to cartoon & emphasize more on his upbringing, Malay culture, surroundings, diversity and strong socio comment. His cartoons keep me close to Ipoh Town. Personally, Datuk Lat is the best Socio Comment Artist in Malaysia, great fighter in providing a definite message about true Malaysian and unity concept. I admire him and his thought!
Well enough about Datuk Lat.

Ipoh now – New Urban City being develop - “Kinta City” located more than 10/15km from the current Old Town. Being in millennium year, I do believe Ipoh need to be developed and modernize in order to make it more competitive to investors. I do believe the local government has done something towards that…..hope so!
Most of the Tin Mine now has been close and covered with sand, they develop housing estates and new township hmmh…inline with the increase of population I guess.

OK will continue later….need to go now!

MEMORY LANE – Part 1

Ipoh - my home town is quite a dale place but lovely. Previous colonial authority/ administration has developed Ipoh & Taiping as their main administration centre throughout Peninsular Malaysia. The major revenue during that time is Tin Mine (Kinta Valley) and Rubber Estate. In fact the earliest rubber trees is planted somewhere in Kuala Kangsar and the ceremony is done by Sir HN Ridley (The 1st Rubber Scientist).

Several beautiful places - Old town hall, High Court, Ipoh old town, Ipoh Club, the FMS Bar...just name it - colonial spot & buildings almost everywhere. Beside the old Anderson Building, St Michael is so damn beautiful too.

St. Micheal / Michaelean!
I remember at the centre of that front building, of Old St Micheal’s – Bronze Sculpture of “Madonna & Child” or maybe “The Mother, Child & Holy Ghost” (Just cannot remember the name) so damn unique and beautiful, I remember myself during the school assemblies at the field facing the parlor, we did hanging around at that parlor (Where the sculpture stand) during lunch break.

Several more great architecture work left by the colonial at that building & school chapel.

Deep in my heart I wish that town maintain without any development, I consider it as world heritage and hoping the government preserve this building as the way it is.

I’ll bring my child when we balik kampong & remind them to visit all the beautiful places, this is the place where their father and forefathers were born and brought up. I’ll tell them how harmony of the people living together irrespective of race and background. I’ve several friends i.e. Sikh, Chinese, Indian, Malays, Natives, Portuguese, European and several more unidentified races living in harmony at that same Old St Michael School with spirit of unity. With attention to be above all or no. 1 in all event/sports they participated. The school has selected several teams irrespective of races/religion/belief to fight for the school, united against all odds and making sure their school always be No. 1 in State of Perak. (Emmh but always be no.3-4 or maybe 7 kut...hehehe)

Games/Sport such as Athletic, hockey, rugby, soccer, cricket, basket ball, fencing, theatre, music and other event that may give opportunity to bring the school name up to national level. The spirit of unity is almost solid and unbreakable, we live in harmony.

I remember Sukan Sekolah (Sport Event) when I saw my brother G (elder than me) whom is a school sprinter of 100m, 200m 4x100, take part in that sport event. I’m damn proud of him during that event, telling everybody & all my friends - “Hey Guys! My Brother, He is the Sprinter & the world fastest” giving him supports like a fool, never end madness & nobody business. Well he lose heheheh!. But I just don’t care & continue saying "the referee is full of shit!" Heheheh.

I’m an active guy too, manage to join the hockey team & rugby, but just for a while, before I jump into casino & marijuana activities..…hehehe. Well….End of the Story lah!

When there is no politics…..there is peace….hehehehe!

SYMBIOSIS - WIKIPEDIA

In Wikipedia - The term symbiosis commonly describes close and often long-term interactions between different biological species. The term was first used in 1879 by the German mycologist Heinrich Anton de Bary, who defined it as "the living together of unlike organisms."

The definition of symbiosis is in flux, and the term has been applied to a wide range of biological interactions. The symbiotic relationship may be categorized as being mutualistic, parasitic, or commensal in nature. Others define it more narrowly, as only those relationships from which both organisms benefit, in which case it would be synonymous with mutualism.

Symbiotic relationships include those associations in which one organism lives on another (ectosymbiosis, such as mistletoe), or where one partner lives inside the other (endosymbiosis, such as lactobacilli and other bacteria in humans or zooxanthelles in corals). Symbiotic relationships may be either obligate, i.e., necessary for the survival of at least one of the organisms involved, or facultative, where the relationship is beneficial but not essential for survival of the organisms

Symbiosis in our society meaning 'Living together for mutual benefit'.

Personal View:

Shea, my daughter did ask me about her race….catchy reaction in my feeling and I do believe this question appear when mix marriage occur hehehe!. (Mix Culture)
Symbiosis subject again!

So I told her since I’m the “Malay” father i.e. “Male” whom given the soul & spirit, she should be regarded as “Malay” while the mother is giving her the skin & physical appearance. She’s just little bit confuse, I’ll elaborate more on this issue once she is more mature and start asking to know more.

Living symbiosis – Barrack H. Obama….(Kenyan “Father” & US White “Mother”).

AUDACITY OF HOPE

I just finish reading an interesting book by Barrack Obama….fuhh I’m wondering he still have time to write huh!!! Quite interesting and informative, straight from his heart, his bold views, sincere towards his job, just being plain and clear, knowing himself and limit as human is very strong fundamental in his life.

With that type of struggle and hard work, being President of the US…nahh no surprise.

Not many people can apply a brief and good write up as well as his and I admire his thought and sincerity. He's putting himself as a father, husband, leader and normal human being living in multicultural society and world today i.e. He really knows where he stands.

My thumbs up on his book and recommend to readers out there, enjoy reading, its his perception about life, work, personal views and honest experience.


Remarks:
Nahh…oklah….My story is better mahh.

AUTHOR - DAN BROWN

I remember it has been 6 years (2003), Helen Betlem gave me Europe’s best selling novel – Da Vinci Code as a gift. It took me a week to finish it off and so damn enjoying. Dan Brown the author of Da Vinci Code, remind me of an Indonesian most influential academician i.e. Prof Hamka. I read Hamka’s novel i.e. Journey to Deli & Van Der Vick Vessel..its damn great, fuhhh with his (Hamka) thorough details, full of live analysis and exposure make myself/imagination travel inside that book and seeing picture as per what he want us to describe it – although it just a love novel. Great writer / author can give fullest pleasure for readers like me to describe pictures, experience occasion and environment just by producing a powerful wording and beautiful statement.

Thanks to Helen for introducing me to Dan Brown's book...he is a great author indeed! Back to Dan Brown, I foresee he has that strong skills, wide knowledge, frequent traveler and very details in his work – very analytical and sharp minded. He loves to keep his audience guessing, nervous, prejudice mind and keep them running to know more. The ways he describes is so damn real and exist in the real life. He knows how to express his words and statement…it’s very entertaining. Da Vinci Code is being film previously and starred by Tom Hanks as Robert Langdon – Damn entertaining as well.

The book he wrote title “Angel & Demon” – (Now in Cinema near you) I treat it as a continuation of Robert Langdon journey as Prof in Harvard University also starred by Tom Hanks, “Deception Point” & “Digital Fortress” also a never ending entertainment. I recommend all of his books. Its damn strong & great artwork, love it so much.
Two Thumbs Up for Dan Brown! I really enjoy your book man. Thanks to Helen & Hester as well for the gift!

Personal View:
Author/Writer’s can bring you to a different world and create a great feeling once you read the said book or story….I mean the author create that feeling and he want the audience / readers feeling what his trying to express. A strong work will give a huge impact and clear message to the audience. I always treated writers/authors as artists that contribute their knowledge/fantasy/exposure to the community and society. Although there is a good/bad author, same goes to painting/artwork…good/bad painting. Everything goes to how strong the nature of that message/ contribution being express to the public. Everything must according to its rule of nature and SOP.

Book/Models/Drawings/Paintings/Ceramics/Sculpture/Miniature…is just a media of expression by the artist. I describe it as a beautiful freedom of expression also damn creative art work. I admire those great artists/writers/authors.

Emmmh........

THE NEWLY BRIDE

Fuhh!!! such a hectic week, just feel weak and dizzy. Sorry for not updating this blog, away for the past 2 weeks and last week is the best - being part of the crew member on that day special event – my niece wedding ceremony. Almost 100% turnout equivalent to somewhat 3000 people…gosh!!!..that huge huh!...hehehhe. Well everything going well except for that last night when the so called “close karaoke session” event or karaoke among the family members who wanna show-off their American Idol’s skills and talent have turn up to be a public competition and attended by nearly more than 200 unknown participants ….hehhehe God is great mannn hehehehe! So our jaw open and shock due to the huge support & welcome…hehehehe. What a life mann!

Quite happy with the marriage arrangement, I know the crowd has blessed the bride with their huge attendance. Happy for my eldest brother (Yob) & wife (Yong) as well for their maximum throttle energy and undivided strength to make it happen. To all my brothers, in-laws and sisters..hell of goodjob!

Looking at my nephews and nieces…wow!!! They have really grown up being handsome and beautiful, hmmh remind me of myself …am I growing old? ..Nahh sure not!

Hehehehe!.

Personal View:
Whats life without growing old - white hair, rugged face, big belly….its natural beauty hehehe!

IPOH POLITICOS

Until when this drama will end huh!...so many blood sucker going around trying to grab power, either opposition or alliance both have similar gesture. Just observing the scenario and I seem agreed with Tun Dr. M & Tengku Razaleigh, this episode should be end by giving back the power to the people of Perak. Let the Perak’s people decide their own fate and made their own choice immediately. This drama has been prolonging for quite sometime worst then Hindi/Tamil Movie. The State MPs love playing this unhealthy game while wasting time and public money…so obviously …its dumb v/s dumber.

You can see all these politician faces showing as if they were the freedom fighter or at dare to change mode, personally I felt it as an act of idiot. This mamak Zamri “BN MB” (Tamil Actor I think), keep telling everyone he met that he is an MB of Perak….the real MB, Gosssh!!! Heheheh funny tho, is he an idiot or what? He doesn’t even have that so called self-confident hahahah!

Now the Ex-MB Nizar (The Opposition MB) telling everybody that he has the court order and he is the legitimate MB hahahah!. He requests this Mamak to step down and give him the way to rule, hahahah What a live show mannn!!!
This circus show - heading no end, lets see how our Premier Najib received this episode, What is his action! It’s a test for him tho…..Let see how!

Fuhh event on May 09 is really something huh!!!

SOERO - BAIEO – When Fish & Croc Fight For Territory

Sorry for not updating this blog, I’m away and busy with daily workload. Try to update more in week to come.

Wanna share some of my xploration note, just came back for Surabaya by the way, modern city and heaven for people who love entertainment. Manage to visit several historical places on that shortest time.

Soero (Fish) & Booeeiiooo (Crocodile), the ancient myth about this place is about when the river life & sea life meet each other (Kuala), the fish not allowing the crocs to cross any of its border and start fighting each other, the fight never end although huge casualties spills everywhere. Same goes to Majapahit Empire when they fight for territory and similar event happen to Surabaya’s nationalist, when they fight Dutch invasion on the same spot…in that Kuala.

Fuhh interesting huh!!! Per capita income is about IDR500K per month which equivalent to RM150.00 monthly. 5-7% of rich and famous living in the heart of the city whiles the balance of homeless and poor scattered everywhere. Well it’s their way of life I guess; too many i.e. average above 30 Millions lives in that city alone – damn crowded. Talking about 5-7% of rich and famous from 30 million fuhh…that’s a lot mann!! No wonder Hypermart everywhere - damn big one. Easily 7 to 8 times KL lifestyle.

Remind myself when I made a trip to Kedah…the paddy field without border, while in Surabaya the view is all about setinggan houses without border. Even my binocular cannot reach the end line. Since time permitted, I manage to visit the PT Semporna Factory, everything is still manual, same practices for more than 60 years and not surprise - manpower damn cheap and available everywhere - It’s the Semporna Town all the way. Their “tji sam soe” cigarette brand flying everywhere. Almost 70% Surabayan smoke this Kretek cigarette and it’s their favorite too.

Did dropby at the Singaporean City of Surabaya – Boulevard for damn rich flers, with big mansion and golfer paradise….…gosh it’s crazy.

Surabaya is more systematic and clean now compare to 7-8 years back. The trishaw and motorist have their own lane and no more kelam kabut. The prostitution activities are hardly seen in the heart of the city. They have been located to a better place called Delta “1 to 5” based on the customer’s need and requirement. Delta 1 is more for low income class, Delta 2-4 will be the middle income and the no. 5 (Dolly – is the nickname for Delta 5) will be slidely higher income than the other delta. As for the rich & famous, they’ll get their 1st class stock at the exclusive pub or club not in this Delta. Hmmh..thats their way of life I guess (Knowing this when I take a cab 1 night and travel with the driver to this sort of places, I bet the local knows better) and manage to see the local scene.

Another event, I walk thru places in the Chinatown and saw this old lady beggar keep following me around age circa 80yrs old, so I stop by & stared at her while asking her politely to move away, she start crying and ask for money….ohh shit, I know if I give her, there will be another group of people chasing me….ohh shit. Emmhh I hate myself walking alone at this sort of places. What to do, just give her the some cash, and thank god nobody looking at us. Start continuing back my journey of side seeing and manage to take up several photos and balik.

The kabupaten/local govt have improve a lot and with the newly build International Airport; I do believe foreigner will be more in the future. It’s cleaner and better system than Jakarta – quite modern city, my thumbs up in terms of cleanliness and systematic.

Personal View:

Everything that is good might be bad, everything that’s bad must have something good. Balance of nature.

BLOGGER REPUBLIC

I read “The Sun” newspaper today; several issues concerning bloggers appears at the 2nd page – Emmh blogger community have their own way in expressing their thought and perception. Political blogger, corporates blog, socio-politics, socio-anthrop blog, business blog, politicians etc have used this medium to attract public and interested parties.

Well, look at the comment by the bloggers, indeed – split in views and opinion (i.e. against each other and full of hate & sentiment). Political affairs have strong influence on their principle & thought. Not good and not bad – it’s just what it is.

Now the Government and Opposition using blogger to influence public and trying to gain support for them and I perceived its political bloggers war.

Yupp! Never ending story huh!

AMERICAN PIE – By DON MCLEAN

A long, long time ago...
I can still remember
How that music used to make me smile.
And I knew if I had my chance
That I could make those people dance
And, maybe, theyd be happy for a while.

But february made me shiver
With every paper Id deliver.
Bad news on the doorstep;
I couldnt take one more step.

I cant remember if I cried
When I read about his widowed bride,
But something touched me deep inside
The day the music died.

So bye-bye, miss american pie.
Drove my chevy to the levee,
But the levee was dry.
And them good old boys were drinkin whiskey and rye
Singin, thisll be the day that I die.
Thisll be the day that I die.

Did you write the book of love,
And do you have faith in God above,
If the Bible tells you so?
Do you believe in rock n roll,
Can music save your mortal soul,
And can you teach me how to dance real slow?

Well, I know that youre in love with him
`cause I saw you dancin in the gym.
You both kicked off your shoes.
Man, I dig those rhythm and blues.

I was a lonely teenage broncin buck
With a pink carnation and a pickup truck,
But I knew I was out of luck
The day the music died.

I started singin,
Bye-bye, miss american pie.
Drove my chevy to the levee,
But the levee was dry.
Them good old boys were drinkin whiskey and rye
And singin, thisll be the day that I die.
Thisll be the day that I die.

Now for ten years weve been on our own
And moss grows fat on a rollin stone,
But thats not how it used to be.
When the jester sang for the king and queen,
In a coat he borrowed from james dean
And a voice that came from you and me,

Oh, and while the king was looking down,
The jester stole his thorny crown.
The courtroom was adjourned;
No verdict was returned.
And while lennon read a book of marx,
The quartet practiced in the park,
And we sang dirges in the dark
The day the music died.

We were singing,
Bye-bye, miss american pie.
Drove my chevy to the levee,
But the levee was dry.
Them good old boys were drinkin whiskey and rye
And singin, thisll be the day that I die.
Thisll be the day that I die.

Helter skelter in a summer swelter.
The birds flew off with a fallout shelter,
Eight miles high and falling fast.
It landed foul on the grass.
The players tried for a forward pass,
With the jester on the sidelines in a cast.

Now the half-time air was sweet perfume
While the sergeants played a marching tune.
We all got up to dance,
Oh, but we never got the chance!
`cause the players tried to take the field;
The marching band refused to yield.
Do you recall what was revealed
The day the music died?


We started singing,
Bye-bye, miss american pie.
Drove my chevy to the levee,
But the levee was dry.
Them good old boys were drinkin whiskey and rye
And singin, thisll be the day that I die.
Thisll be the day that I die.

Oh, and there we were all in one place,
A generation lost in space
With no time left to start again.
So come on: jack be nimble, jack be quick!
Jack flash sat on a candlestick
Cause fire is the devils only friend.

Oh, and as I watched him on the stage
My hands were clenched in fists of rage.
No angel born in hell
Could break that satans spell.
And as the flames climbed high into the night
To light the sacrificial rite,
I saw satan laughing with delight
The day the music died

He was singing,
Bye-bye, miss american pie.
Drove my chevy to the levee,
But the levee was dry.
Them good old boys were drinkin whiskey and rye
And singin, thisll be the day that I die.
Thisll be the day that I die.

I met a girl who sang the blues
And I asked her for some happy news,
But she just smiled and turned away.
I went down to the sacred store
Where Id heard the music years before,
But the man there said the music wouldnt play.

And in the streets: the children screamed,
The lovers cried, and the poets dreamed.
But not a word was spoken;
The church bells all were broken.
And the three men I admire most:
The father, son, and the holy ghost,
They caught the last train for the coast
The day the music died.

And they were singing,
Bye-bye, miss american pie.
Drove my chevy to the levee,
But the levee was dry.
And them good old boys were drinkin whiskey and rye
Singin, thisll be the day that I die.
Thisll be the day that I die.

They were singing,
Bye-bye, miss american pie.
Drove my chevy to the levee,
But the levee was dry.
Them good old boys were drinkin whiskey and rye
Singin, thisll be the day that I die.


p/s..I love this song……feeling like eating Roti Canai.

STRANGER

I just received a beautiful mail from an old friend of mine, she call me “stranger”.

Helen Betlem “The caring mother and a Sculptor”. Her determination, plain, naïve, honest and focus towards her work is utmost appreciated and admirable. Straightforward thinker, always contribute to the team and her motherhood spirit is still fresh in my mind.

I almost cry when opening her mail… “Goshh it has been a while I said”. We’ve been working together as group for quite sometime, doing all sort of artworks and crafts until I left – All due to my commitments & responsibility to co’s and family. I do remember when Helen dropby at the Hospital to visit my newborn baby “Shea”…she’s the earliest & the 1st to come with a big smile congratulating me and wife, she’s busy taking all the photos’/ snapshots and burn it into CD. Not to forget, her advice and experience as a mother did assist me and wife in taking a good care our child. Yupp!!! I did follow her advice tho!

It almost breaks my tears with her nature and sincerity - Such a beautiful spirit of friendship and brotherhood. She is just plain and clear.

She’ll go back to her hometown soon; I’m hoping to drop by meeting her & group in time before her departure.

Yup Helen!!! Indeed, I’m stranger.

Traveling, being isolated and alone to face all the challenge is part and parcel of my nature, I guess. It’s the one life I’m facing now. I know it’s for the benefit of everybody.
Million thanks for everything!

SWEET MEMORIES!!!

I know you guys miss me; sorry I’m damn busy lately. Dad’s image appears back recently, although he has long gone – emmh his blood is still inside me mahh!

I do remember in 1998 I guess, Dad call me up and ask me to fresh him up at Puduraya early morning (8 am if not mistaken), This unplan trip is due to his eagerness to see live telecast of UMNO AGM. Well after breakfast, we went to this PWTC for the so-called UMNO AGM day and as I can remember, this is before the Anwar Ibrahim being sacked from the cabinet.

When we arrived at PWTC, we walk thru the lobby and…saw thousand of people hanging around at this huge bazaar selling all sort of stuffs - junk food, souvenir, clothes..emmh just name it..everything is there.

While chatting with dad, I saw bunch of these UMNO goons’ with exclusive look and damn glamour, while another group dress like or look alike elite people or conman smoking expensive cigar and gold/diamond bangles on their hand. So many exclusive people showing off their petty rich and famous lifestyle, they love doing that irritating style in public & wanna people to recognize them I think. (Deep inside my mind - Uhhhuh! So many brainless rich clowns in KL huh?...….

Well back to Dad, his eagerness and passionate to see with his own eyes the so called national leader and state leader is almost unbearable. He really admires all sort of contribution being done by those leaders since the day of independent and keeps talking to me non stop! These leaders’ principles & their contribution to the nation.

We stop at the hotel lobby, and stared at paintings on the lobby’s wall, both of us walk thru and saw several more paintings i.e. Oil Paints on UMNO Presidents i.e. former and present, in full dress with Head Gear, Samping, Baju Melayu complete with keris (Traditional Malay Weapon used by the Head of State or Palace Warrior), I can’t remember who’s the painter…but the way it painted & quality is purely shittt!...I hate it..Opps sorry!

We didn’t enter the assembly hall, since it’s a huge crowd - so me & dad sitting at the lobby while looking at that huge TV showing live telecast outside the hall. Dad said he feels alright and proud for being one of the many that manage to attend this assembly. People cheering up when the so called candidate/or favorites took stage delivering their message to the audience. Sometimes they laughing when humor statements appears or any of the speaker making jokes. Some people chatting and talk big on projects and how their group or team know the ministers at state level or federal level, or they give upfront statement by showing off – they were this or that ministers team etc. So many teams and clans or group just name it.

For me personally, I feel weird – well not used in a big crowd and functions but since Dad is there, I need to accompany him anyway no matter how. After a while observing and looking at the peoples and surroundings, Dad look sad. I asked him a question, what it’s all about. He looks at my face and said this old Malay proverb “Menang Sorak Kampung Tergadai” – Till to date I remember his words! But as usual I could not be bothered with his statement maybe cause of lack understanding on what he means. The conversations with him just stop and he said he want to rest at my place.

After a while we went off for lunch and brought him to my apartment before he catch up his bus on that late evening on the same day.

4 months after, Dad pass away.


Morale of the story above:

A person who is decent, plain, clear and naïve i.e. wanna look at that personality whom he admired in the local scene, found out that his views on several leaders is not meeting his expectation and cannot believe what he sees…the right information might not flow to the public maybe only for certain groups or clans that close to the leaders.

The environment, people surrounding on that event day, their views, style & perception towards the nation!!! Fuuhh….horrible.

Leaders that taught the public on how to be rationale principle person, to have that great fighting spirit and love the country, always be a good person/citizen, sincere and passionate in giving things, be fair to others and contributes to the nation is not walk the talk. Dad feels sad when looking at the people around him didn’t get any beautiful values; understand the country needs and perhaps the genuine love and care on how to love the country. Everybody there is more or less looking for personal gains /influence/business/projects/subsidy/satisfaction/money etc. At the end of the day, not single values or information there for the people to bring home and teach their children or family on how to love their country.

Dad being a nationalist just feels bad by looking at the destruction of Malays politics and its community, disaster being done by their own leaders without realizing it. So, with that frustrated face, he walkthrough and keep silence on his feelings.


Personal View:

Menang Sorak Kampung Tergadai. (Too many people trying to show off their strength, pride or influence - yet they have nothing, no dignity and penniless) – At the end of the day, it just a loosing battle with full of POW surrendering the nation to other people who is more civilized to lead, rule and having that economic power.

It’s already happen anyway. huh!

RACIAL VIRUSES & SENTIMENTS

Surprise me! Virus has spread and infected this blog, emmh full of racial slut & comments!...I’m just surprise looking at the racial viruses which spread fast than a speeding bullet hehehe!.

So let it be, it’s a cyberspace anyway…..anybody can give any comment. You guys are free to express any of your views and perception. My view always positive!

Thanks guys!

I’m back to entertain you guys again.

Cheer up everybody!

Jack

OPPSS...SORRY!!!!!!!!

Sorry guys!!...it has been quite a while…I’m away and busy with projects. Well now I’m back to cheer you up.

So many has missing huh. I just update myself by reading NST & STAR…UMNO v/s DAP, Singh is Kinglah…fuhh…so many gimmicks and politicos. I think this newspaper should be rename as “News For Politician”. So many propaganda inside it, every time read it feel like going for pass motion - just to throw all the shits inside my butts. That is the most suitable place to read this type of newspapers I think.

What to do…. Just received call from my bro today. The company where he works might close down. Emmh.. recession just hit us, yet the clown aka MP’s, Cabinet or whatever..just name it. Not even bother to see thru.
I may continue…but not now!

Oppss.. need to go …See ya later.

SHEA’S BIRTHDAY

I love U Shea and always do!!!!...

Happy Birthday my dear!!!

You’re the chosen one – U r my Light & Soul.

Your Dad!
Jack.

REINCARNATION - REBIRTH

Make a trip to Ipoh last Tuesday, Ohh…my bike performance is wonderful. Without realizing the speed is more than 170kmh fuhh!!...so I slow it down….to 130-140kmh.
Takutt….hehhehehe. I know this baby can reach up to 200-220 kmh….but nahhh!! I won’t do it up to that level….damn dangerous tho.
She perform very well, I named her JD.

Well, JD is my great buddy now, we strike the lightning together, always being united facing the obstacle in life either its hot, wet, cold and she really knows what I want in life. Once we reach the destination, I pull JD aside and stop at nearby warong. While drinking that black coffee without sugar, the feeling of being reborn back to my old life appears. Remind me on my nasty/wild teenage era, emmh the feeling of free and fly without taking any dope/or marijuana….so much so, it appear back hehehehe.. (Well its hard to describe tho..hehehe).

Manage to meet mum, my bro G & wife, Ed & wife, Az, Yob & Wife with all the nieces & nephews. We lunch together while chatting about JD. Mum showing her sour face, she might be thinking..oohhh GOD!...again? Whatahack her son' Jack up too now….hehehe hehe! A Bike???...

Late afternoon, start my journey back to KL…..fuhh again JD never betrays me, the feeling of secured and comfort gives me that confident moving forward to my next destination in life.

During that journey, I stop by at the rest area, again with another cup of coffee while looking at people around. Suddenly, that similar feeling came thru again…I’m smiling while drinking!!! Hmmh… Just Claim back My Soul, I said – Lost it somewhere during my journey all these long years, I guess!

myXplorer notes:
Journey teaches us to understand the environments and surroundings; again it’s not good or bad. Observe, understand and feel that moment, then you realize that - it will not be the same; every single minute is unique and beautiful. I called it nature’s phenomena.

TSUNAMI ROUND THE CORNER

Wow, Bernama reports - expected 1 million to be jobless by the end of this year. Well what to do!!!. Malaysian abroad will be coming back due to job loss plus from Singapore which expected more than 450,000, also supported by factory closing in domestic market.

Emmh my OX year might not be a good year after all…hehehe! I’m just observing the scenario on local affairs. Che Det keep reminding the public on the unnecessary spending by the current administration, why don’t they just stop all these nonsense i.e. Labu Budget Airportlah, IJN lah bla..bla..bla….
Feel like to vomit looking at this corporate clowns robbing public moneylah.

Why not we have some counter measure and action plan, i.e. Utilized the so called Fund for the poor and jobless, create more domestic business and economic chain. Food business, clothing, training, grant for creating more generic products i.e. consumer based products. Just duplicate and reengineered back whatever imported product and localized it here (As what Thailand & Japan is doing during the difficult times, they are more focusing on agriculture & food based product and ensure their citizen enjoy the unlimited resource of food until they becoming the biggest world food producer - maybe we can learn more from this countries) . I do believe that we need to add value from the existing chain of industries by enhancing or expanding the current capacity i.e. so many plantation/agro based corporate and industries in Malaysia, if they raised chickens, goats & cows or whatever in the middle of their plantation, I bet - there will be lots of food resources for the country. Although the Government now more focusing on Agro based industries yet till to date, the frozen meat still being imported from India & Australia.

Spend more on developing our own products either food business or any necessary commodity that can benefit the whole citizen with unlimited resource.

Personal View:
Fuhh that’s heaven mann.. heheheh! I can imagine buying chicken meat/cow per kilo at RM3.00??? maybe……we can achieve that!!! Who knows…yeah Malaysia Boleh!!!

LEADERS OF 20th CENTURIES

I saw letter from Che Det to this Rob guy….its really funny. That old chap still have that sharp minded, full of sarcasm method in throwing the right ball straight to the face hehehe!. Well what to do, he is already known as a great statesman in history of Malaysia.

I’ve this habit on measuring leadership qualities; I always have these top ten charts of dynamic world leader that should be admired most. I would put him equivalent to world leader on this 20th Centuries i.e. Mahathir Mohamad, Vladimir Putin, Fidel Catro, Ghandi, Nelson Mandela, Adolf Hitler, Winston Churchill, Mao Sze Tung, Margaret Thatcher, Suharto. Well the name list is depending on their contribution towards their country development, community, economy, strategic planning, implementation and execution on global issues and others development.

Reminder from a friend:
I’ve being reminded by another blogger friend of on my latest article… she said, “Hey Jack please avoids Pig on your subject OK…Pig is just animal don’t be mean, they were nice, sweet and even cute….”

Yeahh lahh…my apology!!!

Personal Remarks:
Back to Leadership subject, emmh…with the current Leadership in our country..huhh…
MAU CAKAP PUN MALULAH…heheheheh!

WAR ON ECONOMY

Still in a New Year mood, well OX year is my year tho!

Yesterday, chatting with several friends from Automotive Industries. Their discussion is based on current middle east topics i.e. what do you think about Gaza & Palestinian v/s Israel, the occupation, the abuse, the bombing…the killing, emmh lots more question with so many uncertain answers.

So we can expect what will be the words come from them…i.e. Damn Israel..Damn US…Damn the Arabs…Damn UN…bla..bla..bla…, Just keep my mouth shut for a while since most of them show more emotion than rationale towards that issue..

They ask me the same question, and as usual lah…my unexpected answer will be against them hehehe!.

““Its Global needs I said!!!. Shock them really.

Then I said it’s just a collateral damage for world economy and not a big deal anyway. These programs been there for centuries and its all about politics & global economy rejuvenation…emmh 1 or 2 countries need to be sacrifice for the sake of this exercise.
Even the world leaders, the Arab’s leaders know this for quite some time.
The US, Europe and other develop nation will solely back Israel just for 1 objective i.e. economy.

Credit Crunch, Global Economic Recession has gave the US, Europe, Israel in deep shit…no direction and without proper medication for rejuvenation of economy (i.e. nobody wanna buy war plane, machine gun, bomb, satelite, missile, weapon of mass destruction, military expense is crazy and these bleed them badly) Well anything with regards to military and defense will create a good impact on economy - Huge investment and huge returns.

So Israel is very intelligent, by creating war on Gaza, thus demand on weapon increase, race of weapon/missile, guns just started. The Arab’s League will feel insecure and will start ordering the weapon for the so called self protection i.e. Syria & Iran will buy from Russia, while Saudi Arabia, Oman, Jordan, UAE, Yemen and others will buy from the US aka Israel. The ordering book for weapons will increase dramatically & tremendously, good business for the US, Israel, Russia as well. They’ll will received a huge orders for the next couple weeks….so people start working, reduce jobless, create certainties on economy and better direction.

If war on Gaza continues, I’m expecting more than 800 billion dollars will generated by the weapon manufacturer if the whole Middle East start buying weapons now and for the next couple years, the economic will become more stable and prosperous, i.e. chain reaction on this war i.e. high demand on food product, high demand on Oil & Gas, high demand on clothing and other industries, so world economy will start its cycle back to normal….heheheh.

Well guys…It’s just for the sake of economy…no hard feeling””.


So guess what!!!...They fuck me up like nobody business…heheheh!. They said I’m crazy bitch worst than pig or Zionist…heheheh!
