Yours Truly - Opiey Hadi

I'm back to business

2009-05-24T23:36:00.083+08:00

I am now back to business after few days went to Bandung as a tourist guide, account controller and language translator to my family. The trip is totally for shopping and again I don't have time to visit Tangkuban Perahu and Limbang although I wanted to. 4D3N is not enough esp. for my mum who love shopping a lot. (lagi2 kalau mahu shopping barang kahwin).

Since I have been there before and as a FOC tourist guide to them, they have to follow my itenerary and I decided where I want to go. But mostly we spent at Pasar Baru and only visited few Factory Outlet that I chose i.e Rumah Mode, Rich & Famous, Grande, Donatello, Terminal Tas and Rabbani (the one and only FO for muslim where my mum bought most of kerudung there - design better than Pasar Baru although price sedikit mahal).

I might be wrong, but if want to compare my last 2 year visit to Bandung to current visit, I feel that this time most of the stuffs sell at the FOs are all imitation. I hardly found any jeans and shirts that really catch my eyes and tempted me to buy. I know that those factory outlet sell both rejected branded items from factory and also imitation but seriously I found only the fake one. I end up didn't buy any jeans and only buy few t-shirt bodoh to wear there because I didn't bring much clothes. Instead I bought 2 pair of shoes at Donatello. Donatello never fail to impress me with the most comfortable shoes I ever worn- the motto 'Love your Feet' tu sesuai sgt la. I wanted to buy more but thinking of the extra luggage I have to pay nanti so cukup la sekadar dua.

I also have to be the translator to the whole family. My mum and brothers dok kecek kelate mana lah org2 Bandung tu paham. Ade ker patut adik aku main bantai jer Bandara = Bandar padahal Bandara tu maksudnya airport. Cihampelas pulak disebutnya ChiangMai. But we have a good supir Yaya who teach them few Indonesian vocab and sent us where ever we want to go. I remember last time when I visited there with a group of frens, we only took Angkutan to move around but this time we rented APV(with supir)because kesian la kat my mum kalau kena jalan and angkut byk2 barang. But on the 1st day I let them to have a feel naik Angkutan jugak.

As a account controller to my mum, I am responsible do all the conversion and tolong jaga and kira duit berjuta2 yang mak aku bawak tu. Sampai ke last day baru mak aku paham macamana nk kira notes yang berjuta2 tu. She only cares about shopping until the 3rd day aku dah start control segala perbelanjaan because we running out of rupiah. Kalau ikutkan my mum mau nya angkut berpuluh2 telekung and kerudung Ekin tu agaknya. Nak bagi saudara dan buat jual katanya. I am only worried about extra luggage jer nanti.

For my brother's wedding, we bought laces for hantaran, baju nikah for my SIL to be and laces for ladies in both families. My mum tak nak kalah, lace yang dibeli utknya sebijik yang dibeli sebagai hantaran utk bride to be cuma lain color. We also bought kain utk baju melayu utk everybody to match the theme. My family choose hijau lumut untuk majlis belah pompuan and purple utk majlis kat our house.

The laces are very cheap at Pasar baru.

2 m french lace + 4 m lining cost Rp 800, 000 = RM233

Krish Fabric , Lt 2 Blok A2, Pasar Baru

For hantaran also, my mum bought telekung sembahyang sulam penuh for Rp 250, 000 = RM73. Lain2 telekung yang biasa at most Rp 150, 000 jer. Tu yang mak aku nak beli buat jual tu sbb murah sgt.

For doorgift/ souvenir utk tetamu, we manage to get an exclusive coin purse for Rp 4,000/pc = Rm 1.16. Murah sgt! We bought about 500pcs. I browsed through the internet and found one website in Malaysia selling similar item at RM 4.80/pc refer link . We are very fortunate dpt jumpa one independent supplier for the doorgift Kiem Souvenir, Taman Holis Indah, Bandung 62-22-6071277 or email here.

The item priced at Rp 4,300 at first and I manage to bargain up to Rp 4,000. At Pasar Baru, the similar coin purse selling at Rp 5,500.

Today i received an appreciation mail from Kiem for the purchase. Very nice lady. You are welcome to contact her if you need wedding favors, just mention my name.

Mr Lotfi yang terhormat,

Saya mau mengucapkan terima kasih secara pribadi atas pembelian souvenir yang lumayan banyak pada Jum'at yang lalu.

Terima kasih pula atas kepercayaan anda pada kami dan saya akan dengan senang hati jika anda dan keluarga, juga kawan-kawan anda selanjutnya

My SIL to be bought kipas cendana as doorgift for majlis at her house at Rp 2, 500 = Rm 0.73 at Pasar Baru. She told that the same kipas sold at RM1.70 at Nilai 3. Maybe can get it cheaper from Kiem.

For the wedding card = kartu undangan, i remember reading one blog that tempahan kartu undangan at Bandung is more expensive than Pasar Tebet @ Jakarta. Now I can prove that she is wrong. If she referring to the one and only Etnik Card @ Pasar baru then she is correct but she didn't explore the whole Bandung where many Kartu Undangan shops located at Jln Astana Anyar. Rata2 the price is similar to Jakarta and selling at cheapest @ Rp 4, 000 = RM 1.16 for hard cover.

Various Kartu Undangan shops @ Jln Astana Anyar

We went to 2 shops X'tra Jaya Undangan & Blanko, Jln Astana Anyar 166 (022)- 6013336 or email here and Undangan Miky. We manage to get kartu undangan with envelope printing at Rp 1,800/pc = RM 0.52 at X'tra Jaya. We ordered about 2000pcs for both families. Tapi tu blom masuk cost courier. Pos Indonesia charge about 1 paket/1 kilo Rp 350,000 = RM102 for the delivery.

Total cost:

Kartu Undangan 2000pcs cost Rp 3, 600, 000 = RM1051
Delivery cost estimate 20 kilo Rp 700, 000 = RM204 (depend on card kalau hard cover mahal sikit kot)

Still cheap for RM1255 for a very exclusive and unik design kartu undangan yang takde di Malaysia.

Ordered Kartu Undangan with envelope printing

At Undangan Miky, my brother mengada2 nk jugak exclusive hard cover kartu undangan untuk majlis nikah. So dia beli la DIY hard cover card (without printing) for 50pcs exlusively for close families and best friends for nikah ceremony. Printing will be done in Malaysia (nk buat dalam tulisan Jawi katanya). Cost of printing in Bandung is basically doubles the cost of material. That chosen hard cover card selling at Rp 8, 500 = RM 2.50 siap printing and Rp 4,000 = RM 1.16 without printing (harga utk 50 pcs). So a good tips for those yang berminat nk hard cover card murah. Beli yang kosong DIY and print kat Malaysia.

DIY hard cover kartu undangan for nikah ceremony

Here I want to share various type of unique hard cover kartu undangan if anyone interested. Harga disertakan.(click to enlarge).The one i like most is the one black and white photograph on the front cover. Berry nice.

Before when depart from Bandung, kitaorg sangat2 khuatir kalau2 kena pay for extra luggage looking at quantity of the stuffs that we bought. Luckily our luggage weighted at 92kg just 3 kg left to reach allowable 95kg that we purchased up front. Tu pun ader lagi 2-3 bags below 7 kg each yg pikul naik atas. Nyaris2 aku tertipu by AirAsia sbb package Go Holiday yang aku amik tak include luggage. Only my ticket yang ader 15kg sbb aku purchase separate flite . Nasib baik masa check in dia ckp tak include so we purchased la 20kg each. (giler la AirAsia buat bisnes).

Min luggage 15 kg = RM5
20 kg = RM55
25 kg= RM105

Sengal giler charge dia. Tu kalau purchased up-front at discounted rate. Tak tahu la brapa charge per kg kalau extra luggage dia charge. Sure lagi mahal. Tapi setakat tu kitaorg selamat sbb packing ngam2 as per allowable weight. Tapi we all tak berapa selamat bila reach LCCT sbb kena tax RM50 sbb custom nampak beli banyak barang. Custom tu nak charge RM100 pastu my mum buat muka kesian and bukak cerita sedih anak nak kawin takde duit so custom tu turun RM50. At first custom pompuan tu nk lepas jer tapi bos dia datang suruh charge jugak. Sial jer ko, kalau nk check sgt check la semua org! Nak tak nak bayar jer RM50 tu.
Nasib baik tak ruin all cheap shopping yang kitaorg buat tu.

A Song for my Loving and Beautiful Ma...

You taught me everything
And everything you've given me
I always keep it inside
You're the driving force in my life, yeah

There isn't anything
Or anyone I can be
And it just wouldn't feel right
If I didn't have you by my side

You were there for me to love and care for me
When skies were grey
Whenever I was down
You were always there to comfort me
And no one else can be what you have been to me
You'll always be you always will be the girl
In my life for all times

Mama, mama you know I love you
Oh you know I love you
Mama, mama you're the queen of my heart
Your love is like
Tears from the stars
Mama, I just want you to know
Lovin' you is like food to my soul

You're always down for me
Have always been around for me even when I was bad
You showed me right from my wrong
Yes you did

And you took up for me
When everyone was downin' me
You always did understand
You gave me strength to go on

There was so many times
Looking back when I was so afraid
And then you come to me
And say to me I can face anything
And no one else can do
What you have done for me
You'll always be
You will always be the girl in my life

Ma..Selamat Hari Ibu..Op sayang Ma selamanya..terima kasih atas segalanya..Op akan sentiasa memberikan yang terbaik untuk Ma..semoga sentiasa sihat dan gembira selalu..Amin

dari anakmu untuk Ma yang sentiasa cantik dan muda dimata Op :)...love u Ma

Blue Javanese Wedding

2009-05-09T20:50:00.006+08:00

I am away from net for almost 2 weeks..I have no time to pay for my broadband bill when I only realised it was already barred. I guess now I am more focusing into my new hobby and blogging will be my 2nd thing. But I don't even have Flickr pun lagi.

Last saturday, went back to KB for one of my best fren's wedding Kharisma. Btw he is a guy la and his second name is Reza..We usually just call him 'Jawa' since school years.
His mum is from Indonesia and of course their wedding pun Javanese theme la. A simple wedding but terasa gak la mcm kat Indon siap ader karaoke lagu2 Indon by their relatives from there. Their weddings outfits was brought over from there by his grandma and Jawa told me its turun temurun. Tapi aku tgk baru jer lagi.

Congratulation to Jawa and Loora. Semoga jodoh kalian berkekalan.

I remember I was writing somewhere in my blog I will start thinking about marriage when my closest frens started to settle down. Now one of them dah down, still got a few, but of course now it's a triggering point for me. Should I? Hihi

My brother's wedding preparation

2009-04-29T00:16:00.007+08:00

My brother wedding will be on 08.08.09. Now confirmed. Last friday both families have met and agreed that the kenduri for bride side will be before raya and groom side will be after raya. My family decided to have the kenduri after raya due to most of our families and relatives only will be back to Kelantan during long break esp cuti raya.

Actually, my parents just skipped some adat mcm bertunang which they think unnecessary. Tak wajib pun. They just had merisik and last Friday was a meeting to confirm the date so that both party can start the preparation. We are flying to Bandung this May for the preparation.

Here's some photo from the perjumpaan tu taken with my D90.(to ayie sbb ko tak tau:please click on the photo to enlarge it)
I have to polish my art of seeing things so dat I will qualify for the photographer for his wedding.My brother so kedekut and he dun want to spend for professsional photographer for the wedding. Baik mung pikir molek, nanti mung jugok hok rugi. Dun blame me.

I would be happy to show my best shot of the day. 1st one will be photo of my beloved mum. 2nd will be photo of Velvet-a cat from my father's friend house where we stay before going for the perjumpaan. Open for comment. *wink

Feeling Magnetic Repulsive

2009-03-24T23:37:00.003+08:00

I'll teach you some physic today :) I've been trying so hard to solve the mystery of magnetism - for being so repulsive instead at attraction. The forces of repulsion is so great and I still cannot change it. It is not that i am not trying. I have made several attempt before but still I cannot change it into attraction.

One pole is giving SOUTH and my pole should giving NORTH. But I always giving SOUTH instead. Again and again. It end up the two poles are always repel to each other although one pole is trying so hard.

I don't know when it will last. This repulsive strength of magnet still strong within pole that I hold . But I know this repulsive forces do run out of magnetism overtime if we wanted it to be. It just need the holder to loosen a little bit to allow changes to attraction. Insyallah.

Ayie did asked me to update my blog :p. Nah amek ko.hehe. I guess you never know what I am talking about kan? It might be the hardest entree to understand. But dats my style. I like..wink wink

It's Complicated.

2009-03-12T22:31:00.003+08:00

I was talking to my good friend. It's about her and about me. Please don't bother if you do not understand. Because it's complicated.

She said,"am i too hard for guys to handle?"

I said,"they afraid.maybe coz you are better than most men."

She said,"why can't they takes some time to know the other side of me."

I said,"they should. but they are more comfortable with the way you are now."

She said,"i can never change myself isn't."

I said," i am also having difficulties. i don't really know what i am searching for."

She said,"do you still want to let the feeling keep inside?"

I said,"i am scared and unsure.its complicated."

She said,"how will u know?no formula you can use to lead to the answer except you really do something about it."

I said,"i need some more times."

She said,"the world isn't waiting for anyone."

I said,"I need to stay calm to think wisely."

She said,"solat is the best way to find peace of mind."

I said,"I should do the istiqarah.never done before."

She said,"I should too."

End of conversation. Maybe i should do the last advise.
To her: sorry. i have to quote our conversation for this entry.
No hard feeling ek ;)

Women On Top

2009-03-08T21:11:00.006+08:00

Please don't get dirty :) Its nothing to do with sexual position or whateva imagination in your mind.

I was watching a new talk show The Duke when they are discussing the age of women in power which I found very interesting.

Male hosts - Marc and Rovilson (M&R)
Female host - Eunice (E)
Guest - Elaine and Dr.Love (Guest)

Its really2 interesting to see how Marc and Rovilson confronted question from Eunice when they tackled the issue of women on top.

E asked: Does a woman in power make a good boss or lover?

M&R answered: Its totally depend. Women maybe powerful in career but may react differently in relationship. They may seem tough and very powerful outside but deep inside very insecure and weak. Women sometimes being too emotional and that will not make them a good boss.

E defended: Women may be emotional but at least they are decisive. Some men is very bad in making decision. (my comment: I dun know about women. But bad in making decision is so me)

E asked: Would you date a powerful women?

M&R answered: Some men want to date a confident women. The challenge of hunting for a date from this type of women really boost a man's ego. Kinda interesting.

E asked: What will be your pick up line?

M&R answered: Lame pick up line will do to make she laugh.

E asked: Can you accept if women start a pick up line at a date scene?

M&R answered: They can have that. But usually its only for a start, the second step they leave it to men to take charge. (my comment: Hmm..the idea of a women starting everything was too brave and does not impress me)

E asked: What is your comment of the age of women in power?

Male Guest answered: Women may seem confident and they may build a very high wall outside but inside really messy and chaotic. (My comment: Hmm..repeated answer. This statement might be true then.hehe)
In relationship they do not necessarily want to take charge and usually might take the back seat.

E asked: As a successful women, what type of guy you want in life and do you take a guy who are less successful than you?

Female Guest answered: Women want a confident and more successful than they are. They don't mind to date the less successful guy but not for a husband. (My comment:hmm..apekah ini..ada jugak ek gurl sajer2 nak date and main2)

E asked: Can you accept being a house husband?

M&R answered: It is possible now but the stigma from friend and community that still does not accept house husband. (My comment: I am not gonna do this)

The fact is the role being reverse. Women are moving forward and men have to accept that way but ada batas2 nya.

To my ladies frens and readers, please don't get me wrong. I am not trying to bring up any gender war here. Just want to share what I have heard and observed. After all, it's about how I share my thought to everybody. Cheers!

'The Thing'

2009-03-01T22:52:00.001+08:00

I would rather call the subject 'the thing' to show my anger towards it. Day after day, I am becoming to hate ‘the thing’ more and more. Why ‘it’ has to own everything that I have. Can’t ‘the thing’ choose its own world and let I have mine. Since I was young, I always be the unique one and I don’t like own something that others have. To see ‘the thing’ mirrors me was very irritating and today it worsen and ‘it’ want to interfere my life. Why ‘it’ has to use other’s power to fulfil its dream. And the dream that ‘the thing’ wanted is the dream that I pursued. Why me?

Can’t it wait until ‘it’ matured enough to hold the burden and not being so greedy?

Please let ‘the thing’ gets out of my life. Definitely 'it' was not in my league to compete.

Rejuvenate

2009-03-01T20:47:00.012+08:00

After few month struggling with so many thing at work, I have decided to have a getaway (not far though) just to rejuvenate and refresh my mind yang definitely kusut and overused.It was not my plan from the beginning. My officemates suggested the idea about Chemerung waterfall and they did all the preparation. I wasn't confirmed at first until the last minute i decided to leave the workload behind and focusing on myself. The best part the location we chose is very remote which doesn't allow any cellular network coverage at all. I totally forgot about everything at home/office and enjoy each of every second there.

Serene and tranquil. The waterfall is actually taller than this but this is the spot we chose.

See.very clear water.cool and refreshing.

The bbq+picniq was perfect although that important marinated chiqs was forgoten by Wawa and CCC at first. Haha. We almost jadi cannibal eating raw meat when Mat Din si budak hyperactive almost dropped the charcoals into the water. And myself being so sengal forgoten to fill up the fuel before go until i realise that half way to the waterfall. When we reached Chemerung, the indication indicates 0 fuel and I was very panic if I cannot return home and have to leave my car there.

Delicious BBQ by chef CCC.

Luckily during the return, I managed to drive about 40km to the nearest fuel station but with all my friends escorted me from behind. Thanks guys. I wonder what going to happen if my car stop in the middle of the forest and I just got a new info saying that the area is 'keras'. But that doesn't stop me from visited Chemerung which Junsays secluded and not touristy (plus point) .Most important the place still clean and tak tercemar although still got some rubbish left behind- maybe from the people who does not concern about clean environment. They don't know the importance of preserving this place where we can get spa services-massages,jacuzzis and mind theraphy for free.Heheh

Private jacuzzi and see Wawa having her b**t massage (you said that :p)

All in all, the waterfall does rejuvates and restore my energy and strength to continue work. Although my body aching, it's only temporary and I am H.A.P.P.Y.

Us having a good time

More piccas at Jun's blog.

Feeling inspired?

2009-02-18T21:05:00.006+08:00

Do you inspired by your boss?

Answer: No. You do not inspire me.

Wow! My statement would be the most controversial one. But I hope you are all my good friend. wink! wink!

What I want to say here actually is how I envy others who has a great bos. I envy my friend like TYF to have M*z*i as his boss. How i wish he could be my boss too. He is the type of leader who we should inspires. I like the way he handle things with wisdom. The way he shows appreciation and compliments us for all the efforts we have put.

And today, I was visited by a Principal from our fraternity, Shahrizal Dahlan to help me on one of our initiatives. I was a lil bit inferior at first, because Shah is a well known for failing a lot of people in our skill group assessment. But, actually he was so baik sangat and willing to share and download whatever the knowledge and experience that he has to myself. He is a wise young man indeed and I know I will never be as genius/wise as him. I will always remember his advise that all the challenges that I have now, is the opportunity for me to shine. Insyallah.

"When a person really desires something, all the universe conspires to help that person to realize his dream" Paulo Coelho-from the latest inspiring story i read.

Tak Ada Rezeki

2009-02-14T19:58:00.008+08:00

Remember I mentioned in my FB i have booked 2 ticket to Puteri Gunung Ledang the Musical III at IB on the 21st February. Well, actually it does not turn good. Few days after that(more than 3 day although the say booking confirmation within 3 days) , an agent from Axcess Tickets called me to tell that that 2 seat that I requested for was already sold out. She asked me if want to change the show to 22nd February (on demand show actually). At that time, (well hati sudah panas kan) I said I just want to watch the show only on 21st. I even questioned her why the confirmation only comes after few days. Then, I told her to just cancelled the booking.
Maybe our seats will still available if she processed my booking within that 3 days.

Masa tu tak pikir panjang, I shud have grab the offer on the 22nd tu rather than to wait for another year to watch the show. Menyesal la pulak, sebab I really2 wanted to watch that so much. Next year, Tiara might not be in the show lagi.

Macamana pun 22nd tu, a little bit hard for me. Its Sunday, me working and 8.30pm pulak. So I have to apply for leave for 2 days just for the show. I cannot guarantee that I can make it on that day and if I miss it, terbang dekat RM400++ for 2 tickets beb. Banyak tu!

Mungkin dah tak ada rezeki. Cuba lagi.

It happen again and again

2009-02-09T20:01:00.004+08:00

28 January 2008 - unsolved mystery. no conclusion. i took me 4 days to find the clue which i am not really sure exist.
.
.
.
04 February 2008 - concluded with causes yang masih samar2
.
.
.
09 February 2008 - concluded.

You might be clueless of what I am talking about. But this is what really happen to me for this consequtive week. Whenever i received an sms early in the morning,it's like a trauma to me,meaning that something bad has happened. Each time I will be automatically drag over to that lengthy hours of investigation that would end until late hours.
I was the one that have to search for evidence and prepare the write up each time it happen, although the true causes is beyond my responsibility. I dun really mind doing this things because somehow I learn a lot from it.
But what really makes me become frustrated is the attitude of people who sometimes dun want to take responsibility. This type of people is so eager to claim the glory but avoiding it when problem occured without having sense of responsibility/ownership to solve it. To hell with them.
This really2 makes me tired and stressful.

Stress management

2009-02-09T00:58:00.003+08:00

I was so tense today thinking of my work, my assessment, my ppa and lbvf which I have to settle all of this within this week.
I tried to read some note for the assessment but I cannot really focus. I end up surfing through my fav blogs until I found this game which make me more tense. Damn!

Soal Hati

2009-01-20T21:33:00.003+08:00

I got a mixed feeling today. Don't know how to react. Suddenly my doubt was answered. The best part that answer coming from berbatu2 jauhnya. And it was from my best friend. Tak sangka he suddenly come with the answer which I am not asking for and that will be my secret that I kept to myself only.Pelik kan macamana dia tau.BTW, Thanks buddy.

At least now it can stop me from keeps guessing those uncertainty which I am not really sure tentang kebenarannya.
Although I got the answer but still don't know to react? But I know I should do something to correct this rather than avoiding it. I want to make thing as usual. My mistake cause I stop everything, I've let the words left unsaid. Things happen so fast and I am not really ready for that although I realize about this earlier.And that sudden change really scared me.I am sorry if I screw it up.

But I really don't know to face the CONFESSION.

AJL 23 - Lagu Untukmu by MUH

2009-01-19T23:50:00.006+08:00

I has been few years I am not following or watching AJL by TV3. Bukan apa standard of performance by Malaysian artist before this jauh tertinggal if to compare with international or even Indonesian pun.(maybe bias sbb myself peminat indonesian music since Dewa lagi).Ingat dulu2 bila ade AJL jer sumer org stay depan tv and tomorrow morning muncul la juri2 yang tak berapa diiktiraf dok comment pasal sapa patut menang and sapa tak patut.But after few years, AJL become less popular and only few people watching because it was damn bored.

But last night tergerak hati nak tengok and guess what..for the first time I feel that it was the best AJL ever. Sampai tak berganjak dari tv. Nak g kencing pun tunggu break dulu.LOL

What impress me is the performance, entertaining and very theatricals. Of course the best is the winner, MUH - Lagu Untukmu. Suka sgt make up clown tu.(I actually obsess dengan Joker from Dark Knight tu :p).Facial expression from the clown make up tu maybe added extra feel to that song. Menjadi sgt2 and it was a perfect 10 performance. The singer hit very high pitch which definitely the song that I cannot sing at mana2 karaoke. But I love this song so much. Kudos to all indie band for the fresh music that you guys bring in.Selain MUH ader lagi indie band mcm Bunkface and Hujan yang mula diterima oleh Malaysian music industry.

Actually it was not only MUH yang perform bagus. Both Faizal Tahir performance pun bagus sangat2. Although I am not a fan of Faizal and his song, because for me he is so poyo, but i cannot deny it was an intelligent performance and whoever the chareographer is, I have to give credit to them.

Selain MUH and Faizal, my other fav will be Stacy, Estranged and Elyana. Walaupun lagu Stacy tu aku tak pernah paham pasal aper, but the performance esp the dance part superb. Mcmana la dia leh nyanyi sambil dance mcm tu. Estranged pun not bad and aku pun suka lagu Yang Pernah tu. Elyana, it was a cute one walaupun she just duduk jer atas tangga tu. Overall semua bagus except Ziana Zain and Farawahida yang aku tak berapa gemar. Tak paham pulak knp Farawahida bleh dapat award gak. Hehe.ader jugak comment.

BTW..I am currently listening to Afgan-Confession No 1 CD. Also from Indonesia.

Are We Not Human?

2009-01-11T00:03:00.011+08:00

Reading an article titled Gaza diary: Are we not human? at Al-Jazeera.net really really touch my heart.

http://english.aljazeera.net/focus/war_on_gaza/2009/01/200917111341829322.html

It broke my heart when Mohammed wrote;

"I am not afraid of dying - I know that one day we all must die. But not like this, not sitting idly in my home with my children in my arms waiting for our lives to be taken away. I am disgusted by this injustice."

Of course you are human Mohammed..those Israel is an animals. The war is so cruel.

I wish I could do more besides praying for you and all Palestinian people. God will always be with you Mohammed.

I don't know what are the world leaders is waiting for. Until today Palestinian death toll in the has risen to 821 people and more than 3,300 injured and most of them are WOMAN and CHILDREN-those innocent heart. Mungkin ada benarnya apa yang Mohammed wrote, to see Palestinian people and families erased before they act. How sad.

Look what is Israel has done. Could we stand to see more of this?

Look into those eyes..those tiny little heart.Do they deserve this? Ini bumi mereka..let's give them some hope.

Besides DOA this is what I will at least do to support humanitarian aid.So do you.

Before it's too late..

Shadows fill an empty heart

As love is fading,

From all the things that we are

But are not saying.

Can we see beyond the scars

And make it to the dawn?

Change the colors of the sky.

And open up to

The ways you made me feel alive,

The ways I loved you.

For all the things that never died,

To make it through the night,

Love will find you.

What about now?

What about today?

What if you're making me all that I was meant to be?

What if our love never went away?

What if it's lost behind words we could never find?

Baby,before it's too late,

What about now?

The sun is breaking in your eyes

To start a new day.

This broken heart can still survive

With a touch of your grace.

Shadows fade into the light.

I am by your side,

Where love will find you.

What about now?

What about today?

What if you're making me all that I was meant to be?

What if our love, it never went away?

What if it's lost behind words we could never find?

Baby, before it's too late,

What about now?

Now that we're here,

Now that we've come this far,

Just hold on.

There is nothing to fear,

For I am right beside you.

For all my life,

I am yours.

What about now?

What about today?

What if you're making me all that I was meant to be?

What if our love never went away?

What if it's lost behind words we could never find?

What about now?

What about today?

What if you're making me all that I was meant to be?

What if our love never went away?

What if it's lost behind words we could never find?

Baby, before it's too late,

What about now?

A Day at Service Centre

2009-01-05T22:07:00.011+08:00

Today I sent my Ms.116 to service centre at Kuantan for 2nd service. My first service I had it in Seri Kembangan. One thing that amaze me is layanan at this Service Centre (maybe I feel differently because my first service didn't turn out good as I have to wait long before I was entertain.

I arrived there with a warm welcome by the manager(I guess.)..greet me and showing me to service reception. I was then entertain by a lady and she do usual process before Ms.116 will be handed over to mechanic for maintenance. Less than 5 min she did that and she told me Ms.116 will be completed within 1 hr plus. Then, I told her that I just wait there since I have no plan to go anywhere. She show where's the customer lounge and inform me that if I want to have a look a new City at the showroom. (maybe jugak sbb x ramai org dia sempat layan aku mcm ni).

Then I first enter the customer lounge, ada sofa, few bar stool, a lcd tv and a coffee maker. Then I feel bored, I heading to the showroom to see the younger brother to Ms.116.
I was then greet again by that manager and this time he express myself by the plate no...DBJ116..asking me datang service kali ke berapa?..I was like..wow he remember my plate and realize me since I entering the premises.
Sempat chit-chat with him kejap and then he ask me to wait and he came back with a mineral bottle. Very nice of him..(you know what, I didn't receive the same treatment when I came to see the new launch car before..bukan kat sini la..maybe because at that time I drove Ms.Red..2nd class isn't it?

I then proceed to the new City. My comment..not so impressive...I like the body but too much detail at the front make it look weird..the head lamp is nice..kalau letak lampu tu kat Ms.116 cantek gak. Interior wise..takde perubahan sgt. Cara I tgk kereta lain sikit, I tend to see interior dulu. Kalau x impress me, then that's it la.Hehe.Of course la because I keep comparing with Ms.116. The verdict: I didn't like it but I would recommend it to my brother instead.

I saw an advertisement there saying that Honda shrinking the interest rate for City, Accord and Jazz for a very minimum rate. For a city it goes to 2.40% which is very low compared to mine two month ago 3.70%.Even the have the option the have cash rebate up to RM3500 too. Mine only RM500. My god I was on my losing side..Then I asked the sales man what is the interest rate for Ms.116 model now. It was 2.85-2.90%. I've calculated I lost about RM7200 in total if compared to current interest rate. Boleh aku buat beli DSLR with wide lens dengan duit tuh. Monthly installment beza dalam RM66. Hmm nak buat macamana. Then I decided not to think about it sebab nak sedapkan hati.

Then I return to the lounge. Had a cup of latte and try to activate wifi thru my-iphone. Wifi ader tapi kena masuk password. Minus point to this. Kejap jer lepas tu the lady call me and Ms.116 completed for only one hour. Another plus point. Then, I left the centre and heading to nowhere.

Since it was still early, I decided to drop by at Padini Concept Store because they have members sale today. Sempat capai few shirt and t-shirt because it were so cheap. Around RM20 per pc for a PDI and SEED. Despite my brother complaining about I have so much clothes sampai wardrobe nak runtuh, I'll still do. Sorry ek.. because only once you kemas my room that is why you complaining kan. Balik rumah, it turns out that 2 of the shirt is exactly the same with my brother. Betul2 I x perasan dia penah ader baju tu. Anyway that shows we have same fashion taste and only fashion..others definitely berbeza.

Penat sungguh the whole day arini but I've done so many thing in one day termasuk bangun pagi beli breakfast for 25 pax to have birthday surprise party for our collegue MC.Nor. June made cute cuppies for that. She posted in her blog. Sedap and cute. Definitely I want to order nanti although June tak bukak kedai pun lagi :p.

Peace.

Happy New Year 2008/1430.

Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
and never brought to mind?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot
and days of auld lang syne?

For auld lang syne, my dear,
For auld lang syne,
We'll take a cup o' kindness yet
For auld lang syne

We twa hae run aboot the braes
And pou'd the gowans fine;
we've wander'd mony a weary foot

Sin' auld lang syne

We two hae paidled i' the burn,

Frae mornin' sun till dine;
But seas between us braid hae roar'd

Sin' auld lang syne

And here's a hand, my trusty friend,
And gie's a hand o' thine;

We'll take a cup o' kindness yet

For auld lang syne

Should auld acquaintance be forgot,

and never brought to mind?

Should auld acquaintance be forgot

and days of auld lang syne?

For auld lang syne, my dear,

For auld lang syne,

We'll take a cup o' kindness yet

For auld lang syne

It's already 2.14 past midnight I suddenly heard people sang this song on tv. It reminds me when the times I celebrate new year for the past few years. Itu cerita dulu2 when I was in KL and BTU, now I'm too old for that i guess..yer ker? But then, those good old days is very fun and happening kan.

Since I was transfered here, there's no celebration anymore. Bagus la tu..mat dean is asking in his FB why people is so eager celebrating new year but maal hijrah lepas 2-3 hari sudah tak ada orang kisah.Hmm..betul gak tu. Something to be thinking of and corrected.

I promised in my previous post to write my new year resolution. Since this morning I keep thing of my new resolution. What would it be? Some will be brought over from last year resolution yang tak tertunai lagi tapi apa pulak yang new?

Haha..apart from stay sexy as mentioned above here's my 2009 resolution.

1. Writing up a blog - which I already started earlier. Thanks god at least my first resolution dah tertunai on the very first January 2009 lagi. Actually this is my last year resolution, so I have to make sure this year to happen jugak.

2.Buying a house for investment - ni pun kira dah terlambat jugak. I'm supposed to buy a condo last year lagi kat KL. But it contradict with my father opinion, he prefer me to buy a landed house instead of condo(lagi2 kalau kawasan bukit). Well, based on current incident like kat Bukit Antarabangsa hari tu, i somewhat agree with him on why he dun want me to own a condo. But then, susah nak cari landed house dekat2 golden triangle tu. Kalau ade mesti dah outskirt KL which the rental will be very low and risk of left without tenant. Anyway, slowly i need to start survey and my father also asked one of my relative kat KL tolong2 carikan jugak. He's the developer so harap2 I get get a nice house soon.

3.Learn photography and own a DSLR - nak belajar photography mesti nak kena ada DSLR. Before this I already started learning taking photo but only with camera pinjam. Slow sikit macam tu. I'm suppose to buy that camera already, but somehow jadi undecided which model to choose because few of my friend keep suggesting buying the different model which is more expensive+more features.But I start to think, how much budget did I have? No so much..then ukur baju di badan sendiri la. This time I won't to listen to anybody, after all it is mine kan. So my wish is to get NIKON D90 soon.

4.Get my promotion - dun want to explain too much but by hook or by crook I have to make sure I pass the assessment by this year. Please pray for me.

5. Stay fit, do exercise and follow my Herbalife routine - which i keep cheating this for quite sometimes. Thats explain why I put it on weight again lately.Need to start all over again my HL routine and try to jog in morning before work. Can or not?

6.Travelling - this is my passion. Need to pin few more countries on my world map. Maybe this year I won't go far. Thinking of Vietnam, Bangkok and may be make a come back to Bandung. Bandung should be my annual visit but 2008 is not happening because of my tight schedule. And i almost forgot, I promised to bring my mum to langkawi for shopping, that will be this year also since I miss 2008. Kalau ada rezeki lebih Ma, kita pegi Bandung lagi best. Out bound trip will be save for another year, need to kumpul money lebih sikit. maybe utk honeymoon skali. haha you're wish..anyway for that i definitely will return to Paris -my favourite.

7. Last but not least yet berry2 important which I won't explain in detail - Get Married.

Se7en resolution that I need to achieve by this year. A New Year's resolution is something that goes in one year and out the other. Let's pray for it. Insyaallah.

Wishing everbody Selamat Tahun Baru 2008/1430!

"Every man should be born again on the first day of January. Start with a fresh page. Take up one hole more in the buckle if necessary, or let down one, according to circumstances; but on the first of January let every man gird himself once more, with his face to the front, and take no interest in the things that were and are past." ~Henry Ward Beecher

Good Bye Fixed Wing

2008-12-24T22:07:00.020+08:00

This is the first day I am writing to this blog..wanting to start blogging since last year and in fact it is my first resolution for year 2008. But it never start until today. For sure all last year resolution will be bring forward to 2009.

Ntah macamana out of sudden i got an idea to kick start the blog when i realize this is the last day i am flying with MHS fixed wing. For those yg x tahu apa benda fixed wing tu, it is actually a private plane that I use to fly from KERTEH-SBZ-KERTEH. Few of my fren pernah ckp, wah best kerja petronas, siap ader jet peribadi lagi. I wish..anyway for those yg curious mcmana rupa fixed wing tu, here take a look.

I actually feel very honoured to be one among last four passengger to the aircraft. Nasib baik i tukar ticket from morning to evening. Kalau tak x merasa peluang ni. Macam part of history pulak kan. Happen to be i browsing thru my facebook at the eport when Yuzaini says in his msg..he is the last passenger to the aircraft from KTH-SBZ...but sorry Yuz ek..you are not the last la..last trip going back to KTH :p. (sempat jumpa Yuz kat eport SBZ tu).

Bila I know that i will become a history..then it triggered me to write this in my very first edition of Yours Truly - Opie Hadi. Then I started snap photos. Here's my boarding pass to prove that. haha...

Passenger detail...

Dalam flite..kapten dah announce about the last trip..i seated next to a lady fom PHR..sorry lupa nama dia..dia pun sebok dok curi2 snap photo dalam flite..maybe nak masuk dalam blog jugak kot..tapi x sure her phone got option to switch to airplane mode or not.Of course my phone got la. Tu pasal i berani snap photo openly dalam flite tu.

Inside the flite you can see it not so big, it is just about 2 metre wide. Take a look at the photo and note at the two pilot at the cockpit in front.

This is the passenger briefing card yang i sempat snap and I just know the fixed wing model BEECH 1900D AIRLINER. Sebelum ni tak pernah kisah pun.

Anyway. Next year..another couples of day to go, we will be flying with Firefly. Hoping for a better service from them of course. So my frens yg weekend husband and wife tu senang la sikit nak berulang alik KL every week.

It think it is enuff for know.Will come back in next post on 2009 resolution maybe. Until then.
