Aku rasa aku syok sendiri je setiap kali aku menggelarkan diri sebagai "Anak Laut". Hahaah Tapi nak buat macam mana kan, kalau memang aku rasa seronok, teruja, macam balik kampung setiap kali aku dekat laut, pulau, pantai. Ni, aku tengah duk menaip pasal ni je pon kepala aku tak berdenyut. Wallpaper PC aku ni gambar perempuan mana duk berjoging di pantai, dengan ada dua struktur batu di tengah laut, macam Twelve Apostles di Apollo Bay, Australia. (Tapi sekarang ni dah berapa ketul je tinggal, 7 kot..) Aik, only 4 left standing?? Habis rambut. Suka aku tempat ni, sejuk nak mampus. Ore to ore no imoto, Pammu. Genki desu ka, Pammu? Kali terakhir aku menjejakkan kaki ke pantai, laut, pulau ni, masa akhir tahun lepas di Pulau Pinang. Balik kampung. Terubat jugak rindu lama tak ke pantai. 2019 aku cuma ke Siem Reap, company trip. Takde percutian jauh-jauh sebab baru saja menimang cahaya mata kan. Jadi, berbalik kepada cerita, masa balik kampung tu, ada satu malam aku dah buat temp...

Tu dia. Cerita 2018 baru nak tulis sekarang. Draft ni pon tahun lepas yang punya. Ya, dari tahun 2019. Tentang 2018. Barai! 😂😂😂 A must have at this famous spot! No prize for guessing the location of this photo! Langit senja yang biasanya memang cantik dan senang terdapat di pulau dan pantai. 30 minutes later I got 🍒🍓 2018 pada aku merupakan tahun pertama aku sebagai seorang suami sepenuh masa. Full time. All the time. No part time. No sometime. Hahaha. Jadi, aku dah bersiap sedia untuk mengorbankan keinginan aku untuk bercuti di pulau, pantai seperti pada masa aku bujang dulu. The most normal and problem-free bachelor night, in Medan! 😙 Tapi, nak dijadikan cerita, sudah rezeki aku punya isteri yang sangat memahami, dan sahabat-sahabat yang baik, dan juga ahli keluarga baru yang tidak berkira, tahun 2018, 3 kali aku ke Indonesia! Sebelum 2018, kali terakhir (dan juga kali pertama) aku ke Indonesia pada 2015, November. Aku ke Jakarta dengan sahabat, Adib S...

Sedang Danny menikmati pemandangan indah di Gardens by the Bay selepas mengambil gambar Faiz, datang seorang lelaki tua menghampirinya. Dengan senyuman ikhlasnya yang mengingatkan Danny kepada arwah Tok, Danny membalas senyuman itu. " Aaaa, puh-lizzu ," tutur lelaki tua itu menghulurkan handphone-nya kepada Danny. Oh, nak ambik gambar.. nihon jin tabun (orang Jepun mungkin?) getus hati Danny. "Okay, sir, smileee! 1,2...Okay!" Danny ternampak iPhone itu mengandungi arahan dalam bahasa Jepun. Lantas, Danny dengan yakinnya, " Sashin, mou ichido, oji-san? " (Gambar, satu lagi, pakcik?) Danny menawarkan diri untuk mengambil satu lagi gambar untuknya. Lelaki tua itu kelihatan terkejut, dan senang mendengar bahasa ibundanya dituturkan lelaki berkulit sawo matang, atau cekelat, di hadapannya. " Ooo!! Hai, hai, mou ichido, onegai shimasu! " (Oooo!! Ye, ye, sekali lagi, minta tolong ye?) balas lelaki tua itu. Apa eh, orang Jepun cakap bi...

By this time, I reckon it is safe to say it is Hari Raya tomorrow. With that, I'd like to wish everyone Selamat Hari Raya, Min aidil walfaidzin, Eid Mubarak Hopefully we have learned something from the holy month of Ramadhan. I, personally feel Ramadhan this year has been a better one compared to last year's. I mean last year, I spent 3 weeks of Ramadhan in KL because I had training there. Oh, another reason I feel accomplished this year (even though I may sound vain for what I'm about to say LOL) is that everyone's been saying I've lost weight so, yeah, there's that. Let's all keep the momentum going for the good changes we have made in Ramadhan. Selamat, selamat! Hehehe Yours truly  seriously doing all the chores today. Hah!

Happening! Meriah! It was a very joyous occasion. I can't remember when was the last time I got to be with my Penang family at a kenduri kahwin. I even missed few weddings the past 3 years as I was in Australia. The journey this time took me and my bro, Adib to Kota Tinggi. I regretted not leaving work earlier because we didn't make it for the tahlil (and of course MAKANG MAKANG) at Mak Tam's house.  A funny story, me and Adib were quite shocked to see the other side of Kota Tinggi town was pretty much dead at night. We reached the Mayres Hotel around 8-9 pm but the shop lots opposite the hotel were all closed already. It didn't take us long to realise that the centre part of the town is pretty much alive; 24/7 KFC, mamaks', and the shopping mall as well. I plan to go to Kota Tinggi again in the future, perhaps go to Sedili, Pulau Sibu, hopefully. The following day - the big day. Even though everyone stayed in the same hotel, it was only at the majlis I got to me...

I don't think I have a reason to be so excited now that it's school holiday because - I'm not in school anymore. Whether it's holiday or not, I still have to go to work unless I call in sick or already applied leave weeks earlier. But at least I got something to look forward to tomorrow. Yeah, I'm going to Kota Tinggi!! I'm excited because it's my dear Kak On's wedding this Saturday the 11th. And also because I've never been to Kota Tinggi and from what my Mak Tam told me, the place is so nice and there are many beautiful places, beaches to go, see. I love beach y'all!! XD Thanks to Pam for this picture! Taken at Lorne. I just love the beach, town. I wanna go there again! Some beach in Singapore =P Winter 2007 in Perth. What's the beach's name again..ahhh! Oh...I haven't blogged about my trip to Singapore last May. Wooppss! =P hehehehe

No, I don't mean there's a rombongan meminang my sister outside my house now. Rombongan orang Penang ada. Hahaha. My aunt whom I dearly called Cik Ati (I'm not really sure about the spelling... =__=) and her family will be staying over night in my house, joined by my Pak Su who is my mom's younger brother living in Temerloh. They were in Kuantan until 4pm just now I guess, and probably will reach here around 7 or so. I bet they gonna make a lot of stops along the way from Kuantan to Kerteh, perhaps buying some keropok lekor at the stalls by the road side. Oh, and next Sunday, school starts. Sucks to be a student in Terengganu, or Kelantan or Kedah. =P hehehehe

Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream! Since I don't have much time as I will be leaving for KL to send my bro off tomorrow at KLIA, I'm just gonna have these pics posted up first. huhuhu *UPDATED* Man, I'm tired...but had a great time playing basketball though I don't know any of them LOL Now moving on to part 3. It was hectic, my stay in Singapore. I met her cousins, another lunch with the family but this time with the eldest brother, and attending friends' wedding. Cool~ I got to see how they do it in Singapore. Not much different really. Meeting the cousins was alright. It was good that they talked to me heh. I didn't know girls got this thing called 'interview' the friends'/cousins' other half. Lucky they didn't really drill me with super difficult questions. The only guys at the meeting with the cousins. And the eldest brother, I didn't get to see him when I first went there last year, only the second bro and the youngest bro. My first im...

My journey from Churchill to Melbourne on 2nd April 2010. Missed the bus, so me and Pam took taxi. As it was Easter Friday yesterday, the bus wasn't as frequent as other normal Friday. Plus, we had to change to coach at Pakenham train station. Efficient I would say. Pakenham Looks like someone must be so tired LOL =P At the Southern Cross station. There was this old train museum sort of thing going on. Said good bye to Pam as I headed to Melbourne Sports and Aquatic Centre for basketball with Amir, my high school mate. Pam is in Sydney already with another friend Ana to visit Hitomi, my ex housemate last year in South 1. Wish them a fun-filled holiday! =) Aish, I'm gonna be a bit lonely I guess when I got back from Melbourne on Sunday. Ore no imoto (my younger sis) is not around.. I just realised that there are many basketballers around the world. And of course, there must be a lot of better basketballers. Man... interesting! XD That's all for 2nd April 2010. Today, at 8 a...

Yep, that's right, I'm hoping that this summer break, will be totally different from other summer breaks I had before. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Went for interview last Friday in PJ. I came across the job ad on Monash Career Gateway. Basically all I have to do is write 20-30 articles everyday. Hmm, what? Crazy? Hahahha I just want some working experiences here people. =) Should be alright, I hope? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ I met a long lost friend last night. The last time we met, was after Primary 6. And we live nearby only. His house is just behind mine! LOL See, when it comes to doing thing - meet up with friends, losing weight, get yourself a job, if you put your heart to it and feel like doing it you will get it done. Mission Accomplished. Not that I never put all my heart in meeting this old friend of mine! Hahahaha! The point is, d...

A week after my family left Melbourne...I gave up waiting for the berry farm to call me and my other friends, Nabil, Andoc and Wandai. Money running low too. =P Luckily Mak called me and told me if I wanna go back on Monday since the cheapest ticket (which was 600 dollars!) was only available on that day, and after that, all the prices were like 1000 dollars. So, yeah, Mr D went ahead and took that Monday flight home. LOL Hmm...what have I done so far since I got back? Went back to Penang and visit my relatives there. Went to KL and send my bro Adib off at LCCT. Went to Singapore too, to see Bii after a total of 177 days =P and also made some new friends there. More coming soon!!

This blog is outdated!! So many things to tell, share but always there is something that will just come in the way! So, first, I shall start with my family visit to Victoria! XD Family photo taken outside BayBreeze Accommodation, where we stayed for one night at Port Campbell. Mak doesn't like Port Campbell, she prefers Apollo Bay. Day 1 - deciding which car rental should we go to Day 2 - The car we rented, Estima, or better known as Tarago in Australia. Went to Abang Zainal's house in Sale. At the Mini Zoo, Guthridge Lake in Sale. Day 3 - After Eidul Adha prayer, we all left for Traralgon..oh, except Apish. He was really into playing games. That night, we siblings went to the feast organised by Monash University Islamic Society. Just wanted them to try the Indians/Pakistanis/Bangladeshis food. Day 4 - To Phillip Island. At San Remo jetty. Pit stop before heading towards the Nobby where hundreds of seagulls live. We bought the best and famous fish and chips here too. With the ...
