Aku BaliK Kampung Sebab Marah Kat Orang Gilak

Author: FriDay dA FourtH Posted under: ,
Aku balik kampung dengan hati yang berbaur-baur.. rindu, gembira, bersalah, marah.. semua ada.

Aku balik kampung 'coz aku rindu sangat-sangat dekat mak aku.
Aku balik kampung dengan tiket yang terlalu OVERPRICE.
Aku balik kampung dengan hati yang berbuku dan berbulu.
Aku balik kampung tanpa bagitahu kawan-kawan aku...
Aku balik kampung tanpa bagitahu players handball aku...


Aku balik kampung menyebabkan latihan bola baling terbengkalai... Aku still ada rasa kesian dengan players aku...

Dahla tahun ni kitorang jadi tuan rumah.. so kitorang sepatutnya ada advantage 'coz bermain depan penyokong sendiri, tapi macam mana nak menang kalau tak pernah berlatih?? getus seseorang..

Tetapi at the same time.. Orang Gilak telah menyebabkan aku terasa bosan, hambar dan tawar hati untuk berkhidmat di Kapit...


I can't be my own judge so I can't gauge my own sincere-ness but.... in my own opinion.. selama ini aku begitu seronok dengan apa yang aku buat... dan bila kita seronok.. semuanya ok.

Sekarang keseronokan itu telah di ambil oleh orang gilak...

Kenapakah dia dilabel sebegitu rupa?? Maybe I will list them down later.....


Aku dah bertekad untuk pindah bulan Jun ni tetapi atas sebab aku risaukan (risau is a very light word) Well yang sekarang ni ada family prob, aku cuba bertahan sampai hujung tahun ni.

I pray that I won't slack off and remain professional throughout the remaining months of my service here... this is, by the way.. IS the career I've chosen and had grown to love...

Amin.

P/S: Aku BaliK Kampung Sebab Marah Kat Orang Gilak.... tapi budak-budak yang jadi mangsa... sigh!

It is a Fcuking Elephant For Crying Out Loud!!

What the frog is happening to Malaysia Censorship Board??

Siang tadi aku "terkenyit" sampai nak jatuh dari sofa bila tengok penapisan yang melampau-lampau tapi tak kena tempat.

Naked men bleh tunjuk kat tv, naked women lagilah extra extra boleh...but a NAKED elephant is a big no-no.. hahaha.. what a joke.. bayangkanlah betapa tergezutnya aku tadi masa tengok Animal Planet @ Astro dokumentari "Echo & The Elephants of the Amboseli" bila setiap kali a bull elephant i.e. gajah jantan melintas skrin.. anunya di blurred kan...

Gimme a break... An elephant!!!

Sapalah agaknya yang board of censorship tu rasa akan teruja bila tengok elephant's penis??


Nah amik kau...



Teruja tak??

A Trip with Mr Know-It-All

Author: FriDay dA FourtH Posted under: ,
During my recent short trip to Kuching, I discovered lotsa new information.
Here are some of them...


Discovery # 1

Kuching is not really a Cat

It turns out that the name Kuching doesn't come from the Malay word for Cat (kucing) but most probably be a variation of Indian word for 'port' (Cochin) given by the early Indian traders. Hmm... Kuching folks, count your blessing. At least "Cochin" does resemble the word (sound) "Kuching" (cat) in Malay, resulting handful of the cute cat statues being erected around the city. Just imagine if it sounds like................. Nah.. never mind.. I love the Cat City (and their people) very much so I skipped the cruel jokes for later...






Discovery #2
This is not a cat's poo



Well: Ini apa?
Me: Manala saya tahu.
Well: Kenapa ada banyak dekat sini?
Me: Entah.
Well: Dekat Kuching je ada.
Me: Maybe it is a symbol?
Well: Simbol apa?
Me: Err.. Cat's poo???
Well: .. but why?
Me: How the h3ll am I supposed to know? Maybe it is sacred or something (this is before I knew that Kuching is actually Cochin, mind you)
Well: Owh.. ok.

It is not... and after a visit here


I found out that it is actually an Iban earring

Feeling like smacking Well's head. After all he is a pure Iban and after seeing the display he proudly admit "My grandmother has a pair that looks like the one we saw in the park last nite" Yeah right... I thought we both agree it is a cat's poo.

Moral of the story: Visit your local museum.



Discovery #3


I might have a blood connection with James Brooke!! the Rajah of Sarawak.


Just look at the nose!! It is wickedly the same.


Ops! Ops wait a minute. Here are some of the information they forgot to print in our Form 5 History Text book..

  • His mother, Anna Maria is the ILLEGITIMATE daughter of Scottish Colonel, William Stuart and his mistress, Harriott Teasdale. (naughty naughty)
  • James stayed in India until the age of 12 (maybe Cochin was his idea)
  • He ran away from his school in England.
Hmm... guess I don't really want to affiliate myself with a delinquent.




Discovery #4

It is worth taking turn (so to speak).



This is, my dear, a bed fit for a (horny) chinese man.. Look carefully, the bed has two chambers. The question is, where do you want to sleep tonight?




It must be very 'tiring' being a wealthy chinese man during those era. Ain't that right Mister Kapitan?

To Bring or Not to Bring?.. That is the Question...

Author: FriDay dA FourtH Posted under:
I am in a dilemma now.
I can't decide whether I should bring this 2 tonne-dinosaur-era laptop with me during my trip or just leave it here in Kapit.

I should bring along the laptop because:
  • I need to search for maps, roads and direction heading to........ (still very clueless on where to go, more reasons to consider "pikul" the laptop with me) because Google maps is oh-so cool and accurate.
  • There is no TV in the hotel.. (it is Tune Hotel, the bestest no-frill hotel in the country) so I need something to watch if bore-DOOM kicks in.
  • I want to post the latest update, picture and stuffs about my trip. Even though nobody reads it. Hahaha!
  • Same like last time, the dialogue would be "Aiseh! If only i had my laptop now... "

I should just left the 'dinosour' here in Kapit because:
  • The will be lotsa free maps available (I hope) at the Tourist Centre located conveniently at the Famous Kuching Waterfront.
  • I've done wandering around without proper planning before (Penang trip) and still manage to see lotsa cool and interesting stuff.
  • The internet connection at the hotel is prepaid, their website stated RM12 per 24 hour but I still don't know whether it is calculated per usage (like mobile phone credit) or per day , because I know for sure I will not be staring at the screen 24-hour straight. If I do so, I will waste a lot of precious time to explore the city, but knowing me myself... The "kiasu" attitude in me might kick-in and he will squeeze every cent in that hard earned RM12 that I need to pay for the service. Hahaha!
  • The laptop is VERY HEAVY.. seriously!! (don't ask me to get a new one) and I don't want/like to lug it around with me all day. FYI, I never once left my laptop lying around even in a secure hotel room. (lotsa secret inside hehehe)
What do you think?

Thanks My Government

Author: FriDay dA FourtH Posted under: ,


Kerajaan, kerajaan... Terima kasihla sebab bagi cuti dekat kami hari Jumaat ni... Tapi kenapa lambat sangat umum? Kalau nak tukar flight SBW-KL sekarang harga dia dah RM735.00. Tu tak kira duit tiketr bot ekspress lagi untuk keluar dari Kapit ni lagi tu..


Cuti Khas Untuk Semua Sekolah dan Institusi Pendidikan Di Bawah KPM Pada Hari Jumaat, 18 September 2009 Sempena Hari Raya Aidilfitri 1430H



1. Kabinet yang bermesyuarat pada hari ini, 16 September 2009, telah bersetuju untuk memberi Cuti Khas kepada semua Sekolah dan Institusi Pendidikan di Bawah Kementerian Pelajaran Malaysia pada hari Jumaat, 18 September 2009, sempena Hari Raya Aidilfitri tahun ini yang dijangka akan disambut pada hari Ahad 20 September atau hari Isnin 21 September 2009.

2. Keputusan ini diambil bagi membolehkan ibu bapa membuat perancangan awal perjalanan keluarga bercuti di kampung halaman masing-masing dan mengelakkan kesesakan jalan raya.

3. Dengan keputusan Kabinet ini maka semua arahan Kementerian Pelajaran berkaitan Cuti Tambahan sempena Hari Raya Aidilfitri 1430H sebelum ini adalah terbatal.


YAB Menteri Pelajaran Malaysia
Putrajaya, 16 September 2009


Kan bagus kalau buat keputusan awal.. Nampaknya dari isu besar negara macam PPSMI sampaila isu cuti, masih tak tahu sebenarnya berdiri di mana... Apa-apapun, aku masih seronok mendidik anak bangsa, biarpun orang Ibanke, Kenyahke, Melanauke, Sekapanke, Kejamanke... Mereka tetap aku sayang.

Biarlah keluar arahan atau amaran pada guru Sains dan Matematik yang mengajar dalam Bahasa Malaysia, aku akan teruskan jugak... Kalaulah aku mengajar di bandar atau paling-paling koman pun pekan, pasti aku akan patuh, tapi aku mengajar di pedalaman.. Kerut-kerut muka pelajar dah cukup menunjukkan yang mereka mahu faham, mahu tahu tapi tak tahu-tahu juga.. Jadi biarlah aku mengajar tak sia-sia, walaupun 90% Bahasa Malaysia.. Markah Ujian dan Peperiksaan (dalam dwibahasa) yang menjadi ukuran kepuasan diri aku. Biarlah Karajaan kata mereka akan tercicir di Universiti nanti, daripada mereka dah hilang minat semenjak sekolah menengah lagi.. Bak kata pepatah, yang dikejar tak dapat.. yang dikendong... berterabur...

Sampai bila anak-anak kita nak dijadikan eksperimentasi? Yang dibandar memang dah stabil, tapi yang di solok-solok pedalaman ni, tolonglah buat sesuatu (setelah berfikir) untuk kesejahteraan mereka, sebab walau dalam hutan mana pun.. Masih hutan Malaysia, masih warganegara kita, masih perlu sokongan KITA.

Pay It Forwards? What's That?

Author: FriDay dA FourtH Posted under: , ,

Cilakak!!
Why do people never pay it forwards?

Bengang betul aku..

WARNING!! Rambling entry ahead..

This coming Hari Raya, I've already booked the 1515 express boat. There are two other boats that leave at 1230 and 1415 respectively.

So why do I take the last one?
Simple, I am a procrastinator. My hobby is to procrastinate. So I need the extra time to pack my stuff to bring back to my hometown. But as usual, other kiasu people will be rushing to get the earliest boat and I will always be the 'victim'.

"Owh, yours is 1515 huh? Good then, mine is 1230, I'll wait for you to come to pick me up at 12 ok?"

See, it is not like asking me for a favour right? More like an instruction to follow. (which I usually oblige) EVERY single time because I 'was' a good person with a car.

But today everything change. Why? Well let just say my "be good" coupon has expired.

"Why.... do you really think I am taking the last express so that I can help "transport" you people to your boat on time?? Guess again, I need the extra time to pack!! Nobody to help you now huh? Screw you!" Yeah now I AM PAYING IT FORWARDS!!

Why should I help people when they didn't even lift a finger when I need theirs... Well actually there are more of this (my sudden change of attitude) but I think I will tell all about it later....

P/S: Today is my birthday, that is according to Hijrah (Islamic) Calender. Happy Birthday to me ;)

Age Is Just a Number...

Author: FriDay dA FourtH Posted under:
Friday, 17th July, 0910

Words of caution: I am not bashing anybody here....

My dear brother celebrated his 39th birthday on 15th JULY.. and he made an interesting post/ discussion on his facebook.



Opinon pls. Would U work for Government with 1/3 of your current earnings???




Here are some of the interesting replies he got:

From my beloved sister, kak wiwi:

Definitely not as there is no way i can pay for my current commitment. Unless u got a lot of saving...then it's ok. Or...if u are actually nearing ur retirement and just wanna work to isi masa...
No way can manage with 1/3 salary la...unless..rumah free..api free...air free...sekolah anak free...lunch provided...then...ok...go for it !!!!

I am currently earning about 60% from my previous job...still sakit !!!

Sorry for kwn kwn in Gov...but..it's just two different world...and mentality wise...puuhhh...their definition of bz is so kelakar...!!!!

From his friend, (known as Sheila AR)

i dont think u will survive even a day there.... Climbing up the ladder in gov isnt as quick as in private... And most important, r u willing to work wt 99% malays?

but then.. If tht is ur ambition, go ahead and gv ur 100%... Rezeki ada dimana2 yg penting usaha.. Good luck nel!

Then he answered:

My ambition is just for "Pension Entitlement" ha ha
Anyway .... the other path is to contest for "Wakil Rakyat" after age 55 lor....
After 1 penggal can get half pension, 2 penggal above , full pension ..
Undilah SAYA !! saya akan bagi tuan2 projek juta2 .. ha ha
jgn lupa DUN Kota Kemuning 2025 (kalau idup lagi ler...)



Yup.. I do thought (yes.. note the past tense) it was a very interesting discussion... after reading a few replies.. I decided to give him my "IMHO"

there s always two side of a coin... that is why the full question was "would u work for GOVERNMENT with 1/3 of your current earning" rather than "would you change job with 1/3 of your current earning" kan?

There is a saying that goes "you can't calld yourself a successful person until you are in love in what you are doing"
.... so IMHO regardless the pay... the crucial point is... are you happy with what you are doing now? ( I know i am..... that s y i m in this line.. but it isn't bout me kan kan?)

Money and future planning wise .. if you (my dearest bro and the whole family of yours) can ADAPT with the financial changes (with a few MAJOR tweaks) there s nothing wrong with it (1/3 salary) because in a long run you and ur spouse ( kak nina and future spouses hahaha jangan mara) will have a 'safety net' in case something bad ever happen to you (knock wood!) whilst in the other hand.. you can only depend on your rigorous saving (if any) and any nest you are currently weaving.

and added

. and also IMHO it is a cliche when we say that GSs have a different mental attitude than pvt etc.. because many of us by majority.. only see or interact with the front counter personals in any governmental industry (hence the probs: tutup kaunter cepat la, breakfast awal la etc-etc la) and that is where this perception arise and being established whereas the rest of us (be it a doctor, an educator, architect etc) (yang duduk jauh-jauh ke belakang nih) perform our job with the same level of dignity and difficulty of any personal in pvte sector.
..and what is wrong with working with a specific race? If you stay focus, goal oriented and willing to take risk (like in any other jobs), any job can be easily executed and performed..
Bottom Line..it doesn't matter who you are working with or who you are working for...(gov, pvt, malay, chnse etc) but WHAT are you working for??.. is it for FUTURE FINANCIAL SECURITY? SHORT TERM WEALTH? ENJOYABLE LIFE? STATUS QUO?


and

Each option comes with different planning and it is you to decide whether to take up the challenge ( after establishing every boons and drawbacks)... so good luck in deciding the future of my anak buahs... haha..

abissss.....

and added some sarcastic joke to liven up my replies...

ps: nak pi early lunch lah

There is a saying.. with age, comes experience...



A reply from Kak Wiwi (read: thanks):

A wise and well construct advise. Surprise it's coming from my youngest bro.(ha..ha...juz kidding)
Anyway...i salute u and i believe that you are the only one (or may be..one among 10) dedicated public servant. A good , dedicated, honest and hardworking teacher who becomes a teacher for the love of the job. All rise and salute...!!!!



Yeah maybe for some people ...

My bro replied:

Ha ha ha

& qoute Sheila" And most important, r u willing to work wt 99% malays?"unqoute

Qoute "..and what is wrong with working with a specific race?"unqoute... Read More

Only those who have worked with MNC, or non Malay majority Co can apriciate this question.

For those yg straight away work with Gov or 99% Mal,... dificult to explain to lar ... too bad.
they will never ever understand the diferent in REALITY !
stakat 'assumed' je boleh la kot...


and my famous last words??

Oh... Sorry... my mistake..
I thought this was an intelligent discussion not some sort of gov or pvt bashing... my mistake... sorry again...



Hmmm.. happy belated birthday my dearest Brother....
