Cool Runnings!

People that I know usually equate Jamaica with Bob Marley and reggae. (this reminds me of Haha from Running Man if you watch Running Man. The guy is a big fan of reggae and Bob Marley LOL) Though things have changed now that we have Usain Bolt. Back to my story. Last night I watched this movie on Astro Disney XD channel,  "Cool Runnings". I thought it was an entirely fictional movie, only to learn that it is based on true story. Gotta say I enjoy the movie, I remember laughing almost every few minutes man. The jokes and you know how the Jamaicans speak "Yaa maaan!" No offense I really think that their accent is cool.

Cool Runnings. Of course, the movie was made to be more dramatic and funny. Source IMDB

The 1988 Jamaican bobsled team in Calgary, Canada. Source  Jamaica Bobsleigh Team.

All jokes aside, I could feel that the movie is trying to bring this message to all of us "Do not give up on your dreams-if they are not stupid". These guys were so determined to represent their country in Olympic games, they even went as far as doing the unthinkable at those time in their country - to take part in Winter Olympic. When I was watching the movie I thought Jamaica is the first tropical country to ever compete in Winter Olympic, turned out it was Philippines some time in 1972. But I guess back then in 1988 to see 4 black athletes, competing in bobsled event-that was not something you would think of back then I reckon. They did well that year but crashed out early, but the sportsmanship shown by the athletes in the movie was something all athletes should emulate.

Before I go to sleep tonight, I need to finish watching The 5 Year Engagement pulak. My favourite actor Jason Segel is in it so must be funny. LOL XP

Have a great night everyone! And a great day tomorrow!  =)

Want Some Hotdog?

WAHAHAHA!! I laughed when I first see this picture! I don't know whether to laugh at the spelling, or the prices set at that stall. Well, that's pretty mean of me. But it is a good laugh alright. The girlfriend sent me this picture. Before that she asked me, what's the spelling of hotdog in Malay. I said, not that I know of, just write 'hotdog'. Then she sent me the picture. The caption for this picture : "Don't know whose fault, the Malay teacher or the Math teacher?" Maybe it's just another marketing strategy. You know, when people ask, where did you get this? From hokdok stall over there. Brilliant plan on promoting it but fail miserably with the price. How to get profit like this LOL From the way it has been converted to Malay, I reckon the picture at the top was taken in Terengganu. You see, hot=hok. In Terengganu words that end with 't' always sound like 'k'. Example, sesat (lost) = sesak, pekat (thick) = pekak. But pekak (dea...

Koleksi Baju Raya =P

Few days ago, went to Kemaman to get new baju melayu for Hari Raya. hahaha..when it comes to this, I will just accept any baju as long as wearing it doesn't make me the centre of attention on that day. So, what do I have in my collection so far? =P Macam pengantin gitu. =P I don't remember this one. Hmmm My first Raya Aidilfitri away from home, 2007. In Melbourne with my friends from Melbourne Uni. How are you guys? Last year's culture night. Hehehehe. Ore to ore no imoto, Pam. But this purple baju melayu is not mine. My man Azman lent it to me. Thanks heaps man. =) But I guess I kinda like the pengantin one, though it did make me a bit 'famous' due to its glittering when exposed to light. I guess, I was once an Edward Cullen wahahahah! Ok, that's not funny. My bad. *ehem* ehem* The only complete family picture. With my Silat Cekak Hanafi gang at the end of 2006. What's up guys? =) So, this time around went to Kemaman, to this one shop at the basement level ...

Kembali

Sepanjang tahun 2018 langsung takde satu post. Wow! That's a new record set by yours truly. Banyak benda boleh berlaku dalam masa satu tahun. Dan banyak benda juga yang dah berlaku dalam jangka masa tu. Summary nye, perubahan kerjaya , tahun melawat Indonesia , dan new bundle of joy  (<----Ini emoji smiley, aku buat post ni pakai Blogger app) Kenapa kali ni tergerak nak blog balik? Sebenarnya, dari tahun 2017 tu aku nak meneruskan kelangsungan hidup blog ni..cuma, banyak alasan aku bagi dan jadilah apa yang dah terjadi sekarang blog yang dah lebih setahun tak di-update. Bersawang, dah jadi sarang angkut-angkut dah. Inilah sarang angkut-angkut. Blog kali ni more to syok sendiri mungkin, sebab aku rasa aku dah takde pembaca yang mengikuti perkembangan blog ni. Silap-silap, blog aku dah kena removed daripada list pembaca-pembaca lama aku. Mungkin kalau takde pressure untuk blog, aku akan lebih rajin ke sini. Siapa tahu?
