my weaknesses

as a human being, i have my strengths and weaknesses that i would like to share with all of you. let's start with my weaknesses first:

1) i don't like washing machine. i'd rather wash my own clothes using my two hands than putting them in a washing machine. for me, it's ok if other people wanna use washing machine as long as the clothes are not mine. should i start using washing machine? mmmmm....no way hose!

2) i like instant noodle. especially the "Maggi" brand. if i don't eat any type of instant noodles for 2 weeks, bisa rasa aneh sih!. should i stop eating instant noodle? mmmmm.....maybe after i get married.

3) when everybody starts reading a newspaper or a magazine from the front page, i'd rather start from the back page. this weird habit started when i was in Form 5. should i start reading newspaper or magazine from front page? mmmmm.....no way hose!

4) don't ask me to sleep at 11 pm because i can't! yup....NO MATTER HOW TIRED I AM, i can only fall asleep at 1 am or the latest will be at 3 am. should i go to bed at 11 pm? mmmmmm......i don't know!

5) i'm not a big fan of any waterfall recreation spots in Malaysia. i mean, i can swim at sea, lake, river or big swimming pool but not waterfall. well...it all started in 1986 (i was 12 years old) when i almost drowned at one of the famous waterfall spots in Ipoh. i thought i was going to die but alhamdulillah, my father noticed the critical situation that i was facing and he quickly pulled myself up and asked me what actually happened. i told my father that i could feel "someone" tried to pull myself down and kept pulling my leg repeatedly until i lost my balance and energy. the scary part is, i did not see anyone down below and my father told me that i was drowned for almost 5 minutes! as a result, i didn't go to any waterfalls for almost 12 years sebab phobia punya pasal. but sekarang ni dah ok sikit. kalau setakat main air kat tempat cetek tu berani la. kalau nak ke tengah sikit je, mula la baca Ayat Kursi 3 kali takut kena tarik hantu air lagi. hehehe.....

happy belated birthday Monalisa!

i would like to take this opportunity to wish the one and only Monalisa Mochtar a happy belated birthday and i sincerely wish her all the best. Monalisa is a person that i really care wholeheartedly and godwilling, we will be good friends forever until the last breath of our life! we used to have a special relationship and she's one of the most amazing persons i ever known! to Mona:

saya gak pernah lupain kamu dan tentu aneh buat kamu kalo saya katakan yang saya masih cintakan kamu dan perasaan ini akan kekal selamanya. pertemuan di Jeddah International Airport dulu adalah sesuatu yang indah banget buat saya. saya bersyukur yang akhirnya kamu udah temuin soulmate kamu dan saya doakan perkahwinan kamu bersama suami tercinta akan sentiasa diredhai Ilahi. mudah mudahan saya bisa ke Jakarta suatu hari nanti dan sudah pasti saya ada kejutan buat kamu. oh ya....bahasa Indonesia saya udah gak sehebat dulu sih! apa kamu bisa ajarin saya dong! kayaknya saya lagi harus terus praktis nih! salam buat semua ya Mona!

.....deep down in my heart, i know i will always love you!

5 most unforgettable experiences ever!

hi hi!

i would like to share with all of you the 5 most unforgettable experiences i ever had in my life. read on...


1) a few years back, someone that i loved wholeheartedly had a love affair with another guy months before she decided to call our relationship a day. the sad part is, she simply put all the blames on my shoulder. i guess, when someone has no more interest in continuing a relationship, he/she will try hard to find lame excuses. and the weird part is, months before she "double crossed" me, she kept on saying that i was a liar, playboy, dishonest, unfaithful and the list goes on....hello, has the world turned upside down yet?

2) have you ever cried your heart out at least once in a lifetime? well, i have. when my ex-girl left for Perth, Australia, i drove my motorbike alone and cried all the way from KL to UITM Shah Alam. no one realized that i was crying like a baby because my helmet covered the whole face. what? wanna know why? hmmmm...because i loved my ex so much and at that time, i really missed her like crazy!!

3) when i was in Form 3 at Sekolah Menengah Sains, Teluk Intan, my Form 5 seniors beat me like a stray dog just because i did not want to wash their clothes. i was punched and kicked by almost 15 seniors, all at one time. they even used hockey sticks to smash my leg. but Allah s.w.t was and will always be with me (in fact, all of us) and a miracle happened when i went out the dorm safely with only minor injuries. some of my seniors were speechless and could not believe their eyes! let me share one secret with all of you, a secret that never being unveiled before. if you happen to face this kind of critical situation, just pray in your heart and keep on saying "selawat" for Prophet Muhammad s.a.w as much as u can. trust me....selawat is the best self defence tool ever existed on earth!

4) in November 2005, my family and i were involved in the scariest car accident ever near Kampar, Perak. a 4 wheel drive Ford Ranger hit my Waja so badly after the driver lost control and his truck skidded before hitting the front side of my car. alhamdulillah, we were safe eventhough my mom had a fractured leg and i had few bruises and cuts on my right chest. i couldn't raise my right hand for a month and up until today, i can still feel the pain on my right chest especially at night.

5) when i was performing "solat tarawih" in Masjidil Haram during Ramadhan month in 2004, i saw a beg owned by a big Arab guy who was praying next to me, followed all the steps of solat such as rukuk, sujud etc. i was so shocked at that time and couldn't concentrate on my solat for a few minutes. i kept on looking at the beg curiously just to ensure that i was not dreaming. but believe it or not...that beg really prayed with all of us and when we performed the rukuk part, i saw the beg bent its body a little bit and when it came to sujud part, the beg slowly fell on the floor and stayed like that for a few seconds. the process happened continuously until we completed our solat. then i asked the Arab guy whether he noticed something strange with his beg during solat and he said no. when i asked him again, the Arab guy said," are you dreaming? stop asking stupid question and start concentrating on our next rakaat". i felt a bit frustrated because no one seemed to see what i had seen based on the normal reaction. i swear to God that the beg was performing solat with all of us but surprisingly, no one realized it. i didn't tell my sister about this experience to avoid any misperception but i will definitely tell her someday.

so guys...those are by far,the 5 most unforgettable experiences i ever had and i will unveil more stories in the near future. till then...keep cool, keep healthy and keep reaching for the stars!

my favorite songs for the month of July - August

some people ask me why i'm so into music and can listen to various kind of music every now and then. well, i have no answer for that question. i believe in the concept of moderation and i think music is just one of the theraphies in making all of us feel comfortable and relax. it's like "foot massage" kind of theraphy to me. different people have different kind of opinion about music but i guess the most important thing is for us to respect each other's interest and be as sincere as possible. enough said, here are the 10 songs that i've been listening to from July till end of August:

1) Nookie - Limp Bizkit
It's my way or the highway. I listen to this song mostly in the morning. Cool and very energetic song!

2) Twisted Transistor - Korn
There's something about this song that i like. A mind-blowing song!

3) When You're Gone - Avril Lavigne
I like this song not only because it is catchy and smooth but the lyrics seem like telling the situation that i feel at the moment.

4) Tercipta Untukku - Ungu
Ungu is one of my favorite bands and only one word can describe this song - amazing!

5) Kekasih Gelapku - Ungu
I don't really like the message of this song but it is still one of the best songs to listen to especially after working hour. sounds funny huh!

6) Heaven - Nidji
Another cool band from Indonesia. Very creative lyrics and easy-listening kind of song.

7) Thanks For The Memories - The Fall Out Boy
I like this song and i usually listen to this song when i'm on my way home.

8) One Last Breath - Creed
Hold me now, i'm six feet from the edge and i'm thinking...that maybe six feet ain't so far down. Cool lyrics!

9) Gantung - Melly Goeslaw
This song should become song of the year i guess. Gak pernah bosan sama lagu ini. Liriknya bagus banget sih!

10) Separuh Masa - The Lima
After winning Gangstarz recently, this group has started making big impact in our country. This song has the potential to be one of my all time favorites in the near future. A catchy and fun song to listen to especially when you are down and hopeless. But Edry (KRU)....liriknya kurang enak dong! Ya udah, jangan bikin lirik begini lagi ya Pak Edry? Hahaha....

Akhir sekali dari gue, dengarin muzik itu gak salah tapi solat jangan sekali pun kita lupain ya temen temen semua! Gue permisi dulu!

Deena - Q&A Part 2

hi again,

i'm so tired and sleepy at the moment but my eyes are still wide open. i've been working for 12 hours almost every day and eventhough i really enjoy my job, it seems like my body just cannot take it anymore. anyhow....here are the answers to some interesting questions that had been posted to my 2nd blog by a mysterious girl called Deena early this year.

Q1) why Anwar Ibrahim? i can conclude that you are not a big fan of UMNO.

A1) to be honest with you, i've been Anwar Ibrahim diehard fan since i was small. i always know that he's a noble person and all stupid allegations that came from his political enemies in 1998 are just bulls**ts and totally fake. i would like to share my true experience with you about Anwar Ibrahim. a few months before i performed umrah somewhere in 2004, Anwar Ibrahim had just been released from prison and was in Germany to get proper medical treatment there. after a couple of months, he left Germany for Saudi Arabia to perform umrah and when i heard that Anwar Ibrahim was in Mekah, i prayed to Allah s.w.t in front of Holy Kaabah to grant me an opportunity to meet Anwar Ibrahim in person. i still remember saying these words in my prayer ," Ya Allah...Engkau lebih mengetahui apa yang terkandung di dalam hati hamba mu ini. Sekiranya Anwar Ibrahim benar benar tidak bersalah atas segala tuduhan terhadapnya, maka Engkau temukanlah aku dengannya sebelum aku berangkat ke Madinah nanti". Guess what! Alhamdulillah, 2 days before i left for Madinah, i met Anwar Ibrahim exactly in front of Kaabah when i was performing "tawaf" alone. He smiled at me and together we performed "tawaf" until we completed all 7 rounds of "tawaf". before continuing to the next process which is "saei", Anwar Ibrahim, who was heavily guarded by 10 police officers, asked me to perform "saei" with him. i was so surprised until i could not say a word. the sad part is, my sister was not there because she had completed the whole umrah process earlier. to make long story short, after we had completed our umrah, Anwar Ibrahim shook my hand and asked me to break fast with him and his wife, Datin Seri Wan Azizah later in the evening. and the rest is history. now you know why i'm a true supporter of Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim and i will always be with him through good and bad times.

Q1) this is my last question. what is the most scary moment in your life?

A1) you won't believe me if i say that i've met and even stood barely one metre from a ghost famously known as "pontianak" or "kuntilanak" in 1992. my friends and i wanted to send one of our friends home and we decided to walk all the way to Kampung Manjoi in Ipoh which is less than 2 km from our house area. it was about 1 am when we realized that we were lost and couldn't find the way out. in the blink of an eye and out of nowhere, we saw a woman wearing white "jubah" with long messy hair standing within one of the houses in that area. i walked slowly to her with only one mission in mind: i must ask her the right way to Jalan Tengku Hussein. when i stood next to her, i could see her white face staring at me like i was the most wanted criminal at that time. then i asked her to show us the shortest way to our destination since my friend who supposed to lead us the way had, all of a sudden, forgotten the way to his own house!!! but this "woman" did not answer my question at all eventhough i had repeated the same question more than 4 times. in fact, she turned the other way around and showed us her scary long hair. at that time, i started to realize that she's not a human being but a ghost. i quickly walked away and asked my friends to leave that area as soon as possible. thank God the ghost did not "laugh" at me because i did not want to hear her "unique" voice if you know what i mean. at last, we managed to find the right way to my friend's house and we ended up sleeping in his room because we were too scared to go back to our house. hehehe...end of story.


to Deena...thanks for your interesting questions and i wish you all the best. thank you for visiting my humble blog and i see u when i see you. by the way, above is the photo of myself and my staff at Jusco Taman Equine. as usual, i am the one with the "yellow" tie again. asyik pakai tie yang sama je kan? click on the image for larger photo ye. i better get some rest now. dah mengantuk banget nih! till then...

sorry peeps!

i have not updated my blog for quite some time due to so many tasks that need urgent attention lately. things got worst when a "syndicate" (or should i call IT hackers) stole every single ringgit of my July salary. after working so hard for a month, all i got is nothing. sedih kan? in 2006, i was informed by a few local banks that someone had used my credit cards (i have 5 credit cards) account to buy a lot of things. this culprit spent RM 3,000 on each card to buy books, clothes, electrical appliances and a few more things that i couldn't remember. wait! doesn't it sound familiar? oh yeah! it reminds me of Die Hard 4 movie.

anyhow, i would like to apologize to my sweet sister, Madihah for not attending her wedding ceremony on 18th of August last week. i wish her all the best and may Allah bless her marriage forever.

by the way, above are the photos of myself with my colleagues, Senior Manager and General Manager at NBD (New Business Development) department dinner at one of the Japanese Restaurants in KL early this month. i'm the one with the "yellow" tie. click on the image for larger photo ya.

well...i gotta go now. till then...huhuhu...
