one sunday morning

i was at the newsstand, picking up the Sunday Times and Utusan Mingguan (yeap, i still read them. why? cannot meh? boring kot asyik baca benda pro-PR online. baca dua-dua la dey, baru balance and atas pagar).

then today's headline for Harian Metro caught my attention

Anak Haram Bercambah (click on the link)

and suddenly, this pakcik came out of nowhere, and said, "nilah, anak 1Malaysia"

i responded by telling him "ni bukan sebab 1Malaysia, ni sebab kurang didikan agama"

but still that pakcik continued with his blabbering on his 1Malaysia causing anak haram birth rate skyrocketed.

urgh, the mentality of some pakcik and makcik. what does 1Malaysia got to do with this thing? because it promotes tighter integration with people of other creeds and skin-colour?

ok lah, nowadays mmg bnyk benda and tempat yang boleh merosakkan/melemahkan akidah muncul di seluruh negara. but before we could start attacking these sins dens, are we not guilty as well? everything starts at home. families play important roles in shaping the child's identity.

ok la, u cannot put the blame on the families sahaja. semua pun salah. termasuk la sanak saudara sahabat handai.

but to terus kata "ni lah anak 1malaysia ni.."??

since ko support parti2 PR, jom lakukan sesuatu. kita tunjukkan yang semua itu takkan berlaku sekiranya PR memerintah. OK?

perutusan khas sempena hari Sabtu ni

lusa, 2 of my younger sisters are getting engaged (yea yea, for sure the question that will pop out from you guys is "so, ko bila pulak?")

my sisters are funny bunch. they once told me that the agenda for the engagements day are as follow:-

11.30 pagi - majlis pertunangan alya
12.50 tghari - para jemputan dan keluarga kedua-dua belah ke masjid berdekatan untuk solat Zohor
1.45 tghari - majlis makan tghari antara keluarga kedua-dua pihak lelaki
2.30 ptg - majlis pertunangan sabira
3.30 ptg - majlis pernikahan abg amil

LOL. they even said, "abg mil, dalam agenda dah ada. tapi calon abg amil carik sendiri lah!"

anyway, as much as i am happy that finally Nazlan clan is sudah maju, suddenly sadness rushed into me. they are no longer my little sisters (partly lah kan?).

so, lepas ni tak boleh

membuli, memaksa-rela, mengarah, mengambil-tanpa-kebenaran, mem-veto, membuli, menyuruh, memaksa, mem-black-mail, meng-reverse-kan keputusan, menggunakan kuasa mutlak sebagai seorang abang, membuli dan membuli mereka lagi.

tak pasal2 nanti kena belasah dengan boyfren/tunang/bakal husband terchenta itu.

well, here's to my lovely sisters, Alya and Sabira, congratulations for making the big steps. kitorang tak marah korang langkah bendul. tapi agak2 laa.. mana hadiah yang korang janji kan dulu tu?

and yeah, should your tunang hurt you even a scratch, pandai-pandailah korang. kalo nak mengadu dekat aku, siap sedia lah dengan kesan dan akibatnya. kalo tak kena "haa..padan muka" dengan aku, maybe dapat syarahan perdana, takpun untung2 kena tulah abangmu yang berdaulat ni. yela, tak kan nak pukul2 kot? rasuah makan kat hotel 5 bintang cukup la..

oh, kalo lepas ni korang tak back-up yong, kak ain and abgmil bila org tanya "adik2 kamu dah selamat bertunang dah pun, kamu tu bila lagi?", siaplah korang. renungan tajam ziana zain akan ditujukan khas kepada korang sepanjang sambutan hari raya/open houses/kenduri kendara/hari deepavali/hari krismas/hari new year/etc...

sweet kan saya? :)

THE house dilemma

(entries on 1Malaysia thingy can wait.. current situation requires my full focus)

am currently in dilemma.

option A

rental fee: RM1300

type: 2 bedrooms, 1 toilet apartment

furnitures: bed, sofa, air-cond, fan, ventilated stove, washing machine, built in wardrobes, refrigerator

facilities: security guard, swimming pool, tennis court, children's playground, jogging track

pros:

come December, there's gonna be only two of us (as Zaidun might be moving out as his wife could be transferred here). so, no need to find another housemate. just Kimie and i.

good facilities i.e swimming pool, tennis court, security guard

nearby town area (hence the kinda premium price). can continue walking to office.

a newly refurbished unit. no need to worry about

good service by landlord.

cons:

premium price as rental fee is divided to 2 person only i.e each rm650 at least. after factoring the utilities, about RM800 per month per person. which leaves me about RM300 as my duit belanja for the whole month.

if have to incur RM800 per month, then good-bye personal flight tickets back to KL, good-bye sesi berfoya-foya sepanjang bulan, and good-bye to lavish spending on unnecessary food.

option B

rental fee: RM1200

type: 3 bedrooms, 3 toilets, double-storey semi-d

furnitures: sofa, washing machine, cabinets, wardrobes, air-cond, automatic gate, refrigerator

facilities: none

pros:

got mangga tree in the courtyard. according to landlord, manis woo

spacious indoor and outdoor area.

once we have new housemate, the rental fee can be divided to three. meaning monthly expenditure will be about RM600 only.

besar oo the porch. can fit 7 cars.

have spacious area for BBQ and parti liar.

3 bedrooms + 3 toilets. no need to berebut toilet.

cons:

i tend not to be picky, but my gut feeling tells me that it's not the house (maybe already been influenced with the apartment kunun?)

quite a walking distance to the nearest bus stop

to go to the office either by car, or bicycle. impossible to walk (it's possible, but i guess you got the drift). in other words, jauh dari town. (ok je, saje je nak ngade2)

no stove is provided.

//----------end of line-----------------------------------------------------------------

option B looks nice, but we have some reservation (kitchen area i.e no stove provided, gut feelings)

option A also looks nice, but might stretch a bit in terms of financial side. this option offers me RM300 of spendable money, while option b offers me RM500 of spendable money (if we have additional housemate lah)

i guess am gonna ask around people at the office, if any of them want to join our house. if yes, then we shall proceed to option B without any hesitation. Else, option A will always be in our mind.
