That Complicated? Don't Hate

HAHA

When it just seems like things are going smooth and everything, I met this guy friend this morning and he straight away asked me, "Bro, amacam... awek paka sihat?". I replied "Do you have a girlfriend?" OOpps that might be too harsh n personal for a 'lonely guy'. Then again it's funny he is a super lonely guy, but that's not a reason for you to hate him LOL. The silence wasn't long though as I changed topic just to keep the ball rolling. But still revolving around issue "Woman?".

{silent phase part II} no comment...

"But hey, we have some beautiful woman engineers here in PAKA rite?" I said that just to comfort him. But then I explained to him the ugly truth about woman engineers and why I don't date them:

  1. That yellow jumpsuit is their 'formal dress' until 7:00 PM. McD & Burger King is their seven-course meal. And they keep on whining about dieting, yet again. Sometimes I wish I can date them in their coverall as they look better in it compared to their 'informal dress' ... oucch~
  2. The only social life known of is to post and talk on the phone and on the net (FB especially). And life usually ends at 10:30 PM.
  3. Flames like a monster and speaks like a MONSTER. Jokes won't work either
  4. Works from 6:30am to 7:30pm daily. No morning chats & evening walks.
  5. No matter how bad you want her, she just sits there calmly discussing your emotion in terms of mathematical logic & reasoning. She will also mention how bad she wants you while reading McGraw-Hill Thermodynamic textbook... boringgg~
  6. Only listens to modern electronic voice songs to reflect the uptodate-ness and appreciating new technologies . Sometimes going old skool is really not that bad you know. I like Billy Joel's
  7. Talk about daily, monthly, and yearly planning more often than about you (I bet some of u guys hv experienced this quite alot). Being guys, we dun really care about it most of the times, but sometimes well... hearing something about us would be nice =)
  8. Talks in acronyms and 'shorthand's. Ooooh dammmn!! (or she might just say 'O D.M.N')
  9. Can't leave that damn pencil off her right hand and phone off her left hand for a minute.
  10. The best date place she's ever suggested is ... starbucks (coz WIFI is there and it's free)
So boring n so hard to understand them yet they are so 'high-tech' and 'rare'. That's why guys still go for them.

Too rare huh. What happens if you break it? it will be hard for you too find the 'spareparts' etc. Later, it might be beyond repair.



(100 woman engineers are reading this)

Swooooshh..(wind sound) ~ THERE GOES MY CHANCE TO DATE WOMAN ENGINEERS sob sob LOL

Jangan marah gadis2 semua. Just for the sake of writing only. Dun get mad, or else you really do fall under category 3 that i mentioned above. Want me to fix you?

Jika Anda... Bermain Muzik



Jika Anda... Bermain musika...

Kehidupan di Paka sangat tenang. Malah terlebih tenang seperti seekor dugong. Semenjak kebelakangan ni rasanya otak macam wank sikit, keupayaan berfikir menjadi semakin perlahan, otak semakin kurang kreatif, dan selalu penat. Walau bagaimana pun keupayaan makan masih mantap~

Tiba-tiba teringat kata-kata steve carell dalam movie 40 yr old virgin, "If you don't use it, you will lose it?", BUT he's referring to other thing though. Macam engine kereta, lama sangat tak pakai memang susah nak start engine. Sebab itu engine maintenance is a must.

Untuk otak pulak membaca (nodding) + muzik (huh?) is the maintenance. Yes sir, MUSIC.

Disebabkan saya sangat malas membaca, kalau baca pon baca comic or engineering stuffs yang akan menyebabkan otak semakin penat, maka mendengar muzik adalah pilihan tepat. Memang berbaloi-baloi. Menurut kajian daripada beberapa researchers gila di University of Wisconsin, mereka yang mendengar Mozart's telah meng-improve-kan mathematical reasoning mereka. Malah, tikus pon dapat keluar dari maze dengan lebih cepat setelah mendengar Mozart's (walaupun mungkin kebetulan jer masa tu).

Tapi jangan dengar sahaja, GET INTO IT!!! Bermain alat muzik seperti guitar, piano, violin, bongo? etc boleh menajamkan lagi daya pemikiran seseorang. Ketepatan jari, penelitian note, ketajaman pendengaran, kesemuanya boleh menyumbang kepada perkembangan daya pemikiran termasuk mengekalkan memori. Tapi kepada adik2 yng masih belajar, banyak sangat main muzik tp tak buat homework pon tak elok jugak kerana ia boleh menyumbang kepada penguncupan daya pemikiran (itu hasil research saya sendiri lah~, paper belom tulis lagi tapi) .

Relaxation~ itu yang kebanyakan orang cari melalui mendengar atau bermain muzik. Sebagai seorang super penggemar music yang telah mendengar jutaan lagu dari ratusan genre (dari black metal sampai ke Nasyid lah orang kata), saya beranggapan mendengar muzik bukan therapy yang kekal dan berpanjangan i.e not the best therapy, but it works.

Releksasi (perkataan baru) sebenar bagi saya ialah apabila kita melagu atau mendendangkan ayat2 suci Al-Quran atau mengagungkan nama-nama Allah kerana di situlah fitrah hati manusia yang sebenar. Tiada satu pon lagu di dunia ini yang dapat menenangkan hati seorang-yang-resah-dan-gelisah-sambil-berseorangan-di-bilik-semasa-keluarga-dan-rakan-tiada-disisi melainkan irama atau alunan ayatul Quran yang dilafazkan dari bibir sendiri *Berdasarkan kajian saya sendiri ke atas 3-4 orang lelaki dan dua orang rakan wanita yang nama mereka tidak perlulah di sebut. Maka banyakkan lah baca Quran, berzikir dan sebagainya. Indeed, it is the best heart/brain therapy.

Berbalik kepada cerita otak. Saya belajar bermain alat muzik dari percussion-drum-bass guitar dan yang terbaru acoustic guitar. Rasanya macam tak ada bakat sebab jari gemuk sangat susah nak main guitar. Tapi, even Bob KU2 pon power main guitar, so jari besar bukan lah excuse. Usaha tangga kejayaan. OK, just learned Situasi by Bunkface yesterday nite, let me perfect it so that you all can sing it along with me later on hahah =). Rock on!!!

*Tapi kalau teruk sangat xder bakat, I'ma sell that Rm400 ringgit epiphone guitar dekat Mudah hehe jk

So lesson learnt? Try new things in life to bring something different to your world. Don't let the world shapes you, Let you shape the world.

Overshadowed

The video explains it all.



Check out at 2:01, ooooh pedih...... gotta love the play!
Game 6 in Portland. What are the odds?

White Power?

Notice the difference?



Who says rocking them whites ain't hot?

Go spidey!

Magician at his best

Salaam,

Wow it's been a 'very' while. It's not like I was too busy or something, it's just that I got nothing to write!!! Guess living in Paka has slowed me down a lil bit. Used to be a super hyper active guy, but now.... super hyper lazy guy. Dammn bored!!!

Enough of this paka stuff, hey I'm just so excited after watching Game 4 of NBA playoff between Phoenix Suns vs Portland TrailBlazers. Suns lost though but it was a close one. Led by the magician himself, Steve Nash, the Suns lost their 4th game (still) in a hard way after unexpected return of Brandon Roy sparks a blazing 31 pts over the Suns.

Game ties up at 2-2. And it all comes down to Game 5, the must-win game. Suns need to win game 5 with dominating fashion or else they won't make it in game 6. It's all psychological game here. But in ball game, even a magician can be tricked!!!


Lay up... right hand + right leg. Isn't that unorthodox???

Have faith, GO SUNS!!!!

Been waiting for quite some time, now here she comes.

Making a comeback

G A M B ANG R E S O R T

Hey guys,

Last week I went to an oasis-like Gambang Resort celebrating PASB family day. Memang best. Mula-mula kena pergi ke sekolah kanak2 OKU in Kemaman di mana mengecat menjadi tugas utama kami di samping menjaga adik2 OKU ni mewarna. Memang fun ar plus diorang memang hebat color. Yang makan pencil color pun ade gak. On the other hand, my painting part, I have no comment sebab agak mengecawakan sebenarnya. Tangan biasa pegang spanar, mana reti pegang2 berus ni. Pegang berus gigi atau berus tandas hebat ar. Anyway we managed to finish it nonetheless with engineering aspect included e.g dry thickness = 50 micron, wet thickness = 100 micron haha.

the kid at the back was tired just by looking at us. Now you realize how tough our painting job was that day huh =)

Rite after that, the treasure hunt began. Yeah I know u'd say that, I was so damn excited. Belom habis announce dah gerak. First, kener susun gambar2 yang macam puzzle accordingly plus kener teka gambar ape tu. Ade ker die suruh teka gamba perut Kangaroo Mascot Tunas Manja Kemaman??? Nasib baik teka dengan betul .. yezzza! And then kene berenti di Sanctuary Penyu Cherating untuk solvekan soalan2 penyu yang banyak di tanya dalam soalan2 yang banyak tue. Nasib baik tak tanya berapa banyak telur yang menetas di Malaysia? Itu confirm orang kat Sanctuary Penyu tu pun x dapat jawab.


Sedang cuba meneka jantina penyu ini...

And after solat Jumaat. Now the best part, happened at Kelab Kebudayaan Cherating. 'Menconteng' batik??? Mengayam tikar??? Seriously it was hard especially mengayam tikar. Mak cik tu ajar laju gila, ikhlas ke tak nie? Namun perkara yang mustahil menjadi tidak mustahil apabila group kitorang berjaya menghabiskan kedua-duanya. Comment ar sket hasil kerja tangan orang2 berseni nie...


Kemahiran tangan yang teserlah... inilah bakat terpendam orang kata



With the theme: 3T (Tribute to Turtle)

but experience kat Gambang is beyond words can describe. Tele-match yang kitorang main mmg lawak. Skiing Makcik is my personal fav. Kena pakai scarf, kain sarong, paris-hilton-like sunglasses, neck scarf and handbag sambil skiing. TERBAIK ARR! tapi ade trick dalam telematch nie, siapa yang paling pandai tipu menang. Since kitorang suma group warga2 soleh dan beriman, mana laa pandai tipu2 nie... jawabnya mmg takkan jadi juara ar. Takpe, atleast kurang menipu, kurang dosa sket LOL

Other than bermandi manda at the water park, malam penutupan itu was the best. Bertemakan "Hawaiian Nite". Nasib meja bujang mmg bertuah, all of us menang hadiah cabutan bertuah, ... thumbdrive, water heater, hamper (got wine in it lah pulak), G-shock watches, n gas voucher bernilai RM 50. Nice

.
Red Team... loser!


Husain, our skiing Mak Cik


Feeding them horses...


It feels good to be a winner

At least, it wasn't a boring weekend.

Si kAncil

Aish baru2 ni ade pegi Pfce raya punya open house. There were literally thousands of people. Tak sure diorang jemput semua warga petronas kat kerteh atau tak. Anyway I met Mohan si machinist yang sangat pakar (I thought I know how to use vernier caliper, micrometer and what not until I met this guy who's been using all these measuring tools for more than 30 years. His measuring skill undoubtedly... the best ar. Orang kata, bukan saya kata, orang kata ader style la dia ukur bender2 aper pun. *Recap* BENDA2 aper sekalipun!!! LOL.

Hey you dirty minds, I'm talking about machining stuff here. Anyway... talking about kancil. Dah la kereta banyak so susah la nk cari parking. Malangnya ade sebuah keter kancil parked kat tengah2 meaning dier ambik 2 parking spaces. Ini sudah bikin ana MARAH.... tapi ana bersabar sahaja ketika itu menahan nafsu di dada.

Lalu boss saya berteka-tekuk, "Danny aku ada teka-teki, ko rasa bilakah Kancil berubah jadi B@B!?" LOL. Very well said.
