Luaskan Kuasa, Menaungkan kami....

Hey all!

In the spirit of JDT masuk ke final piala FA, so, saya  bersemangat dan berbangga menjadi orang Johor!

Teringat kepada kutukan rakan sekerja yang tidak puas hati dengan term yang digunakan oleh berita channel berapa entah tentang perlawanan separuh akhir dengan Pahang yang ditunda. Katanya pembaca berita menggunakan terma "bangsa Johor" berulang kali dimana rakan-rakan saya merasakan "Adakah korang ni bukan melayu dan mempunyai bangsa sendiri?". Well, my respond at that very moment was "**cricket sound**"....hihi........well I refuse to create any provocation and I really cherish the friendship that we have.

Tapi, what I want to say is. Yes! we are our own bangsa whereby, the poem below can explain everything about "bangsa johor"
Furthermore, the poem also give a reminder to all JDT fan for the final. Hope to see you guys at the stadium on the 29th June!

MELAYU JOHOR

Melayu Johor

telah terlalu banyak kita kehilangan

sawah ladang bertukar tangan

pekan dan bandar kita menumpang

Teluk Belanga entah ke mana

yang tinggal hanyalah pakaian

sedarah sedaging hampir hilang

yang ada hanyalah setulang

Selat Tebrau kian sempit

hati rindu jauh tergamit.

Di Johor,

Jawa itu Melayu

Bugis itu Melayu

Banjar itu Melayu

Minangkabau memang Melayu

Aceh dan Siak adalah Melayu

Jakun dan Sakai lebih Melayu

Arab dan Turki pekat Melayu

Mamak dan Malbari jadi Melayu

malah Muallaf bertakrif Melayu.

Melayu itu maknanya bijaksana

"jika menipu pun bersopan"

kurang ajarnya tetap bersantun

dajalnya cukup selamba

budi bahasa jangan dikira

beraninya cukup benar

tunduk bila bersalah

"lembutnya cukup jantan"

setia sampai ke kubur

biar mati adat jangan mati sahabat.

Anak Johor,

luka di Tanjung Putri

parutnya di Parit Raja

muka biar berseri

mulut biar berbahasa.

Berkelahilah cara Melayu

menikam dengan pantun

menyanggah dalam senyum

marahnya dalam tertawa

merendah bukan menyembah

meninggi bukan melonjak.

Watak Melayu menolak permusuhan

jiwa Melayu mengangkat persahabatan

kasih sayang kekeluargaan

ringan tulang saling bertolongan

jujur memaafkan, ikhlas memberikan.

Berdamailah cara Melayu

silaturahim yang murni

di mulut sama di hati

maaf senantiasa bersahut

tangan dihulur bersambut

luka pun tidak lagi berparut.

Melayu Johor saudaraku yang dikasihi,

dalam kekeruhan ini carilah perdamaian

sifat terpuji setiap insan.

Bermuafakat supaya berkat

bersaudara dunia akhirat

berikhtiar dengan tabah

kepada Allah berserah.

USMAN AWANG

1988

My birthday!

Hey ho it's my birthday!

Well my family celebrated it with a whole loads of food last night with an awesome cake to top it off! Durian cheese cake! My breath still smells like durian at this very moment!

It has been a fun day for me! Woke up with a lot of last night mess in the kitchen in my grandmother's place, hence I had to help my parents clean it all up before making my way back to my house here in USJ! All the cleaning activity really worn me out and I was planning to take a nap and just hang out with my family till noon before making my way back to USJ, then, I suddenly remember that I promised to my students to organize a class tonight. Then I just went on and get ready to pack my stuff for my trip back to KL! yeay!

With all of the lamb, chicken and fishes I had for dinner last night that is making my throat all dry in the morning, I spent the whole time packing my stuff with one of my hand holding a glass of water. In summary, I drank a lot of water this morning before my trip!

During my trip, I stopped at the first petrol station I encountered and bought a bottle of mineral water to quench my never ending thirst and a can of red bull to keep me energize while driving. You can imagine with the amount of water I have been drinking the whole morning complete with the bottle of mineral water I just bought, I had to stop for the ladies at the first R&R in Melacca which was less than an hour from the moment I begin my journey.

After emptying my "tank" then I continue my lonely journey back to USJ with the company of a can of redbull! And.....here comes the effect of loads of caffein complete with loads of water.... The moment I finished the can of the energy drink I had a little feeling that I need to go to the ladies again!

I was like "WTF" and to make things more interesting, the traffic had started to become heavy from Ayer Keroh onwards... Yet, my smart little brain told myself that we'll make a stop in Dengkil, by then, the congestion will subside and less people at the R&R and I can empty my tank comfortably. But unfortunately, as the traffic is getting heavier every second and the rate of my tanks going full is increasing, I decided to reduce the distance. I promised myself that the next stop will be the R&R in Seremban instead. But apparently God really want to test me and the traffic was almost at stand still and my palms starts to sweat and I just cannot sit still! I felt like my bladder was about to burst!

To avoid any future health problem I decided to take the next exit which was Port Dickson, to empty my tank. The moment I was at the toll gate, I asked the lady working there, "is there any toilet at this exit?" with a happy face she answered my question, "there's no toilet here"

I felt like committing suicide at that very moment!

Then I decided to just drive heading to Seremban and find any petrol station regardless of the cleanliness. After driving for quite a while, I found a BHP somewhere under a flyover and luckily the ladies is clean even though it's an old building. It was a huge relief and I decided to continue my journey without turning back to enter the highway with the same exit I took Instead, I was aiming to enter the highway through the Seremban exit. 

But... since I have no idea where I was, I felt lost! I have never drove in Seremban and I don't know my way around! I just drive and drive until I was at the Seremban city center and from there I went on and looking for the green highway signboard. Luckily I found the right exit which was the Seremban exit and I just have to go through the heavy traffic for a couple more minutes before I exit on to the ELITE highway which there was no congestion at all.

Well, it was an exciting day for me and now I am just tired, luckily the tuition class was canceled and now I am just sitting at home doing nothing. Yeay!

A piece of advice, don't drink too much water before going into a long journey alone! ahaha!

Resam Dunia - P Ramlee

I heard this song on the radio 2 days ago when I was flipping through the radio channels. Now I am crazy about it. The song is just talking bout LIFE! I don't think that there's any other song as sincere as this song.

Check out each and every words of this song and you will understand......

Dunia ini hanya palsu
Manusia berdusta
Kebanyakan suka menipu
Gemar membuat dosa

Dunia penuh dengan noda
Dunia penuh dosa
Kebanyakan tipu dan daya
Mengikut nafsu murka

Ada pula yang salah sangka
Banyak yang salah terka
Pasir disangka intan
Batu disangka berlian

Siapa itu
Cuba terka

Siapakah itukah gerangan
Berlagu dan berdendang
Suara merdu dan menawan
Membikin hatiku girang

Kalau ada bunga di taman
Berseri warna kuning
Apa guna ke hutan
Sekuntum boleh disunting

Mari sini
Jangan marah

Begitulah resam dunia
Tidak kekal selamanya
Hati-hati sebelum kena
Agar tiada terpedaya.

Double shot ABB subsidized cheap espresso bean latte!

I wanted to post something online, but I am very sure that it's too long to be tweeted. Then I decided to post it on facebook! Half way typing the status, then I started to think....only lame people still post what they think on facebook status. Suddenly my light bulb shines!!! *tingggg*. I am going to blog about it!!!!!!!

Let me begin.......

Do you remember P Ramlee's movie "Labu Labi"???

There's this one scene where Labu chanted "nak cari kayu, nak cari kayu" before going to bed.

Now, it's almost 1 a.m. and all I can think is "nak pergi site visit, nak pergi site visit".

I turn and I turn, but I still cannot shut my eyes. I tried my best to figure out why on earth I am all excited about this site visit until I can't force myself to sleep???

The site is only in Texas Instrument in Ampang. It's not like a very fancy place that I would have some time to include a short shopping session.

Then when I broaden my "thinking radius" (does this word even exist? If it doesn't I should patent it! :-P), I realized I drank a cup of coffee this afternoon. That's why my brain is telling me to sleep now but my eyelids are wide open!!!

What's in my coffee?

1. Double shot espresso (made out of cheap espresso beans subsidized by ABB)
2. 4 teaspoon of coffeemate
3. 1 teaspoon of sugar!

The first ingredient is the reason why I am being this energetic and posting a blog at 1 am!


This effect is quite unusual since I have been drinking this coffee for more than a year now, but why am I having this "caffeine kick" (I don't this think this word exist too! I just created it. It means, being extra energetic due to too much coffee in your body) right now? I need to sleep! I don't want to be sleepy tomorrow morning in front of the client!!!

I don't want to seem like I am not interested in their cap bank issue!!! (in reality I don't give a shit on the issue, medium voltage products are just making me sleepy....zZzZzZzZ....) Hence, please go to sleep my dear eyes........My brain can't function anymore, it's time for it to shut down for a couple of hours..

Goodnight to all of you reading this post. I think all of you should go to bed too. (Yes you, the one thinking, "apa si Wani merepek ni???")

Gutte Nacht!!! XOXOXO

I believe in serendipity!

Well, after 11 years the movie serendipity had released, I only get the chance to watch it last week! How pathetic! Well, at the end of the movie I believe that it's a fairytale and it won't happen in real life!

Well, let me start the story by telling you a history. Back then when I was a student, I took a subject called separation and in order to complete it I have to attend the laboratory class too. During this lab. class I was in a group of all girls except for one guy who I don't find familiar at all. He is not my coursemate or even from the same batch as I am. He is a senior and I do not know for what reason he had to take that class that semester. Anyway during the class I had time to ask about his background because I found him attractive! (Muka macho melayu giteww! Hotsss!) Well there's nothing happen after that because I don't think he would find a plain girl like me attractive. But at that moment I was really in to him!

Then I moved on with my life until a couple of days ago. It struck me "what ever happen to that guy ea?".

Then I started reminisce about him, thinking bout his stories of having a Frech couple adopt him as their son, he sings in the choir, and he even like to see the musical theater. Then the feeling just brushed off and I resume with my life.

BUT THEN!!!!!!!!!

Something weird happen, Fatimah and I went to the World Gas Convention today and guess who I bumped into at the convention???

It's "abang lab separation"!!!!!!!!!!

I was staring at this guy that I found attractive because I was thinking, "I've seen this guy before, but I couldn't recall where". He even noticed that I was staring at him, and then it struck me! Yes!!!! He is my abang lab separation!

At first I was thinking to ignore his existence because I was embarrassed by the fact that I stared at him earlier. So I continue going around the hall. Then, Fatimah and I went to Shell's booth and we were asked to join a quiz session. We were happy to join it, and guess who else join it??

It's "abang lab seperation"!!!!

Well at the end of the session, I was so determined to go to him and say "hi". But after I returned the "remote thingy", I looked around and he was gone!

I told Fatimah that I want to look for him and it was SERENDIPITY that had just occur. But she says it's not! Well she challenged me, if I ends up marrying "abang lab separation" she will sponsor my wedding!

Now I am more than determine to find him! If the serendipity is so strong! We might meet in the end just like in the movie! Just wait and see, I really hope I will get my free wedding! 

First experience to be in Kuching, Sarawak

I am a 25 year old Malaysian who has never been to Kuching Sarawak. This is suppose to be a great experience for me.

Well initially it was great, besides the fact that the client screamed at me once we arrived at the airport. It was kind of bad and it makes me grumpy but..... I had a great lunch and it changed my mood altogether. Well as usual, food can make you happy. I had prawns, fish and some vegetables that I can't find it in the peninsular. I also had a great appetizer which is sea cucumber soup. Yummeh!!

Then we went to the hotel and i get to have a great view from my room with huge beds! It is so awsome!

Then, in the afternoon when it was not so hot. I took a walk along the river. It was nice in the beginning because the weather is great and the view are nice.

I even saw a very nice restaurant named James Brooke cafe. I feel like having dinner there when I saw it.

After having such a great time walking all by myself and enjoying the view, then, I notice that there's someone has been walking behind me for quite sometimes. I hold my handbag tightly because I was scared of pick pocket. Then suddenly I heard a voice from behind.

"Where are you going? Why are you walking alone? Are you going to see a friend?"

It was three questions asked at once and he speaks in Malay obviously, but I just translated it for you.

Well, during that moment I choose to ignore him. Then he called me "kak long" and ask me again "Are you going to meet someone?"

I was so scared and I just nodded my head

Then, he asked again. "Where are you going to meet that friend of yours?"

I just point somewhere ahead.

Then, he asked again "Why, you can't talk??"

And then I laughed and I finally said "Yeah, I am going to meet my friend somewhere over there" (well I keep it as general as possible since I am not meeting anyone)

At that moment, I was so scared then I informed my friends on What's App.

Then I heard the guy's voice again. He was guessing "Is that guy in the white shirt is your friend??"

Then I freaked out and call Fatimah. But unfortunately!!!!! Fatimah's phone was having a problem and I cannot talk to her. Then I had to call Poji to pretend that I am confirming an appointment. When I was talking to Pojie, that guy stops following me. After walking for a couple of minutes, I turned my head around and that guy was WAVING at me! HOW SCARY IS THAT??? Then I just leave a message to Pojiah, "if I don't send any message on what's app in an hour, then they will have to call the police!!!"

Well I took a different route to go back to the hotel and I even had time to do some shopping. When I reached the hotel I saw Michael Hedberg! That was the greatest view of all! I felt safe and we had dinner in front of the hotel, near the river. Once I have Michael around I felt all comfortable!

Now at this very moment, I am safe in my hotel room posting this blog!

That was a crazy experience! I really hope that it will not happen again during my next visit with Angeles!!
