the truth will always prevail

Angela Collins, an American, knows that Allah swt is the one and only God



when some Muslims "quietly" converted to other religions (e.g Lina Joy), millions of people in the US and UK have openly converted to Islam without fear or hesitation. subhanallah! just watch these video clips and you'll know what i mean.


Carolyne from UK has converted to Islam



so for those who are in the process of converting to Islam....welcome aboard and you guys have made the right decision.

this song is - AWESOME!

hi,hi...

i love this song - Munajat Cinta by The Rock (featuring Ahmad Dhani), the latest outstanding rock group in Indonesia. even the lyrics are as cool as ever! guys, listen to this song carefully (by clicking on the video above) and you gonna like it. i purposely include the lyrics below for your reference. kebetulan, liriknya seperti sedang menceritakan situasi gue sekarang. aduh! aneh banget sih! ya udah, terus dengarin lagu ini sambil bisa nonton videoclipnya diatas. da...

Malam ini, ku sendiri,
tak ada yang, menemani,
seperti malam-malam,
yang sudah, sudah

Hati ini, selalu sepi,
tak ada yang, menghiasi,
seperti cinta ini,
yang s’lalu, pupus

[Chorus:]
Tuhan kirimkanlah aku,
kekasih yang, baik hati,
yang mencintai aku,
apa adanya

Mawar ini, semakin layu,
tak ada yang, memiliki,
seperti, aku ini,
semakin, pupus

my twin brother

my twin brother, Kamil left for JB this morning at 5 am. a foreign-based company has offered him an outstanding salary package and a good career development. i had a mixed feeling when i saw him leaving my big brother's house area. but i guess the sad feeling was more than any other feelings at that time. we've been thru ups and downs and shared our problems together. we have almost similar interest in many areas. we've fought like cats and dogs but most of the time, both of us are like Wayne Rooney and Carlos Tevez. we complete each other and love each other.

when my colleagues asked me what is one of the uncountable great gifts Allah has given to me. the answer is my brother, Kamil. he ain't perfect but he's cool! both of us are Manchester United diehard fan and we listen to Indonesian songs a lot. after completing his Diploma in Engineering at German Malaysian Institute, MARA offered him a full scholarship package to pursue his Degree in Germany due to his excellent CGPA point but he had to turn down the offer when he got involved in a horrific motorbike accident in early 1996. and the rest is history.

i love my twin brother a lot and i wish him all the best! this is my prayer to Allah s.w.t:

Ya Allah, Engkau panjangkanlah umur adik kembarku dan jauhkanlah dia dari segala bala dan bencana. Murahkanlah rezekinya dan ampunkanlah segala dosa dosanya. Engkau rahmatilah adikku dan masukkanlah dia ke dalam jannahMu tanpa hisab. Amin amin ya Rabbal alamin.

my weaknesses part 2

it's funny to think that there are some people who like to underestimate or look down on other people when we all know as human beings, we tend to make mistake every now and then. i detest people who think that they are damn perfect and cannot accept any positive feedback. therefore, as an ordinary human being, here are some of my weaknesses that have been haunting me for years:

1) at times, i can be the most forgetful person on earth. i've lost 3 handphones in less than a year. that's why i don't have the heart to buy expensive handphone anymore. believe it or not, my current handphone is the ugliest, most outdated and cheapest phone on planet earth. but regardless what other people say about my handphone, for me, this handphone is one of the toughest phones ever! jatuh lantai 30 kali sehari pun still boleh pakai balik. biasalah kan, Nokia!

2) i have the most fragile set of teeth than anybody else around me (that should be more than 1000 people i guess). meeting dentist for the tooth to be "dismantled" is a normal situation for a person named Muhammad Kamal since he was 7 years old.

3) i'm not a big fan of curry. i mean, i can eat curry once in a while but not 3 times a day like some people. but surprisingly, i can eat laksa 3 times a day as i'm a big fan of laksa (except curry laksa...hehehe).

4) i used to have this "acrophobia" problem when i was small. acrophobia is a severe fear of heights. after all, we weren't designed to fly, were we? eventhough i have slowly overcome this problem, the moment where the plane is preparing to take off will always be the scariest moment in my life. well....of course there's a story behind a tragedy. but let me keep it to myself. anyhow, gue ngerti kalo gue gak bisa jadi pilot atau flight steward. ya udah! kerna itu condo yang gue beli hanya di level 2 aja. kalo di tingkat 12, gak bisa bobo gue!

5) i can listen to the same song over and over again. when some people can easily get bored after listening to the same song more than twice, i, on the other hand, can listen to the same song (provided the song is my favorite song) from KL to Ipoh consistently. aneh kan? at first, i thought this is acceptable but when my friends told me that i'm totally insane for playing the same song in 2 1/2 hours journey, i've started to realize that i need to change this habit slowly. wait a second, is this thing considered as a weakness? i have no idea what i'm talking about actually.

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...

snow patrol

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...

i could have done better...

the upgrading exam that i attended recently was really a "i'm not satisfied" kind of situation. honestly speaking, my full preparation was just a day before the exam owing to hectic schedules and unavoided responsibilities. i know i could do better and how i wish i could turn back time. anyhow....it's my fault for not having a complete preparation. next year, come rain or shine, i would definitely "cuti" for a few days in order to have an intensive preparation with Cikgu Halimatul (u know who you are).

*upgrading exercise is an exercise for AEON people to upgrade their current grade to one grade higher provided they pass the exam which is conducted every year. to Cikgu Halimatul, thanks for teaching me Jusco Figure. i sincerely appreciate your help and kind assistance. flame on!

harfiza

a good colleague of mine, Irwan bought a new Sony Ericsson handphone and wanted to try out the quality of the camera. and it turned out to be as cool as ever! above are the photos taken by him 2 weeks ago. interestingly, those photos include one of my office mates, Harfiza who works in the same department with Irwan. the funny part is, i've known Harfiza since last year but i knew her name just recently. to Fiza....thanks for the unofficial grooming advices and it's a privilege to know someone like you.

Deena - Q&A Part 1

Remember my old post about someone named Deena who asked me a few questions about myself? Here are some of the answers that i've given to her. Read on....

Q1) Kamal, are you really a Director of a company? I'm confused. Aren't you working with AEON?
A1) Yes Deena, i'm working with AEON Jusco as Shop Operations Manager. My father has re-appointed me as one of the Directors in his company after i have decided to quit in December 2005 due to bad car accident. Anyhow, the name of the company will remain as a secret.

Q1) You are totally a music freak. Any good reason for that?
A1) Deena, is that a compliment or what? Hehehe...yup! I'm a music freak. In fact, when i was in Form 5, i managed to name 2500 rock n roll bands around the world within an hour in one competition somewhere in 1991. I won the competition and received 30 free cassettes (it was in 1991 remember?) Well...it's just an underground competition actually. Every month i will buy at least a cd because my current job needs me to travel from one Jusco store to another. a fresh cd will definitely drive me on.

Q1) What is the latest cd that you have in your car?
A1) I bought Dewa 19's cd last month. last week i bought Maroon 5 new album and i think it's damn hot! but to tell you the truth, the latest cd that i bought was 3 days ago. it's actually a cd with few Holy Quran verses in it such as Surah Yasin, Al-Ikhlas, Al-Baqarah and more....i bought this cd at one of the shops in Nilai.

Q1) How do you describe yourself, Kamal?
A1) Well...i can safely say that when it comes to a serious relationship, i am a very loyal person. my past experience has taught me to be extremely careful in choosing someone to become a love of my life. i am not a perfect person in many ways but my imperfection has motivated me to become a good lover. we don't need a Phd to teach us on how to become a good valentine, do we?. at times, i can be a very sensitive person. i dislike people who are bad tempered, insensitive, backstabber, liar and dishonest. anyway Deena, you can also call me a soccer freak, because i'm Manchester United diehard fan and i think David Beckham is the best crosser/midfielder on planet earth.


Q1) Who are your favorite actors/actresses?
A1) I like Johnny Depp very much. He's amazing! I think i should also add Al Pacino, Robert De Niro, Will Smith and Tom Hanks in my list. As for actresses, i think Julia Roberts, Kate Winslet and Dian Paramitha Sastrowardoyo are outstanding! But Deena, do you know who is the best actor ever existed on earth? He's none other than Allahyarham Tan Sri P.Ramlee.

There are more questions from Deena that i will unveil in my next post. Check it out guys! Till then...

my sweet little sister - Madihah Faizi

last Saturday was the last day for my sweet little sister, Madihah Faizi with AEON and she would be starting a new career at a new place soon. well....no wonder i felt a bit weird yesterday because usually i would receive an early email from her almost every morning. eventhough she's not my biological sister, to me, i have sincerely considered her as one of my siblings.

let me elaborate more about our unique friendship. honestly speaking, we rarely talk to each other in the office. we prefer to communicate via sms or email because both of us are too busy to have a long conversation. we've shared many cool stories, opinions and issues together and i proudly think that she's one of the best persons i ever met so far. Madihah is a humble, cute, soft spoken, extremely polite, cool and quite religious kind of person. she's already engaged to a handsome, kind-hearted guy and they will get married middle of next month. God bless them both.

the funny part is, she always calls me Abang Besar (Big Brother) and i also call her Adik Kecil. cute kan? so to Adik Kecil, Abang Besar wishes you joy and happiness. thanks for supporting me through good and bad times and trust me, without you around in the office, things will never be the same again. thanks for being there when i need your moral support the most and i really appreciate all cool advices that you have given to me every now and then. in conjunction with your wedding ceremony next month, i would like to wish u "selamat pengantin baru dan semoga berbahagia ke akhir hayat". attached herewith is the photo of her with her ex-colleague, Mee Kuan.

last but not least, Adik Kecil - knowing you is the best thing ever happened to me. and for that, here is my favorite word to you...TILL THEN! hehehe....

10 songs i've listened more than 50 times a day (part 2)

my close friends keep asking me about the latest 10 songs that i've been listening to lately. it reminds me of my own personal chart that i've made in my old post somewhere last year. so here are the 10 songs that i've listened more than 50 times a day (for the month of April - June 2007).

1) let's dance together - by the one and only Melly Goeslaw

2) gantung - again, by the one and only Melly Goeslaw

3) girlfriend - by none other than Avril Lavigne. every morning, while heating up
the engine of my car for 5 minutes, i will play this song out loud just to
erase any unwanted feelings and also to drive my spirit on.

4) all the small things - by, who else? Blink 182

5) ada cinta - by Irwansyah and Acha Septriasa from the movie "Love Is Cinta"

6) what i've done - by Linkin' Park

7) makes me wonder - by Maroon 5

8) keep your hands off my girl - by Good Charlotte

9) 99 problems - by Jay Z

10) dewi - by Indonesian hottest rock group, Dewa 19

girlfriend = boyfriend

i used to admire this pretty girl when i was in Form 6. but unfortunately(??), her boyfriend was my good mate and the problem began when i started to know that her boyfriend was having an affair with one of my form 5 juniors. i felt like telling her the real situation but i didn't have the guts to step forward. this girl was so loyal to her boyfriend and i could see that she'd been treating him very well. the lyrics of this song, Girlfriend ( i have purposely changed the title of the song to "Boyfriend" to be fitted into my true experience) by Avril Lavigne really tells the whole situation that i faced at that time. i would like to dedicate this song to that pretty girl, Hanim and wherever you are right now, i wish you all the best!

Girlfriend - Avril Lavigne
(as i said before, i've purposely changed the word "girlfriend" to "boyfriend". haha...don't get mad, but get even guys!)

Hey! Hey! You! You!
I don't like your boyfriend!
No way! No way!

Don't you know what I could do to make you feel alright?
Don't pretend I think you know I'm damn precious
And Hell Yeah

He's like so whatever

[Verse 2]
I can see the way, I see the way you look at me
And even when you look away I know you think of me
I know you talk about me all the time again and again
So come over here, tell me what I want to hear
Better yet make your boyfriend disappear
I don't want to hear you say his name ever again
(And again and again and again!)

He's like so whatever
You could do so much better
I think we should get together now
And that's what everyone's talking about!

Hey! Hey! You! You!

In a second you'll be wrapped around my finger
Cause I can, cause I can do it better
There's no other
So when's it gonna sink in?
He's so stupid
What the hell were you thinking?!
[repeat]

Hey! Hey! You! You!
I don't like your boyfriend!
No way! No way!
I think you need a new one

memories remain forever

i incidently found my very old thumb drive yesterday and was so surprised to discover the photos that i snapped (when performing umrah Ramadhan in 2004 with my kakak tersayang) are still in pristine condition! i thought, after being kept in a dark cold bag for many years, everything that i had saved in the thumb drive must be all gone and cannot be traced anymore. if i'm not mistaken, i had washed the old bag many times before without realizing the existence of the thumb drive in that bag. logically, the way it is supposed to be, the thumb drive cannot be used anymore and can be considered as damaged item (macam PA zero lah pulak!).

so, in order to reminisce all the good memories that i had gone through there, i herewith attached some of the photos for "tatapan" my dear friends and colleagues. i was quite "kurus" at that time compare to sekarang. pergh!!

Executive Director's farewell dinner at Palace of the Golden Horses

i attended a farewell dinner for AEON Jusco's Executive Director, Mr. Yokoyama recently and as you guys can clearly see, above are the photos of myself taken during that special event at Palace of the Golden Horses. i have decided not to take the photo of the surrounding or the building because i believe that many of you guys have been to this 5 star hotel before. so it's no big deal, right? as usual...please click on each image for larger photo. to all my close friends especially Rahayu, Firdaus, Leena, Danny, Ashraf and Farrah, i've been so busy lately and i hope you guys will understand my situation. till then....
