This is one of the best years a far as I can remember living in this earth! Lot’s of ups and few down, really makes me sad to leave 2008. But as time’s goes by, future ahead is a must. Can’t deny that, can’t really stay in this situation. Getting older as year passes by and hopefully getting more matured… Matured??? Am i??? Wekekekeke..

2008: In the eyes of markiekadus, Part 1

January – A New Year, A New Hope
Started the New Year with a bang, with a style (according to some of my friends).
Finally got a permanent job on the 2^nd day of January after going for industrial training in 2007 for 3 months. Job with decent pay. Yeah I mean decent pay. Not really much happening on January. The ‘heart’ is still broken but, getting myself in a ‘busy’ mode let me forget whatever has happened before.

Oh, for the record I’ve done the Haka dance at our Annual Dinner. Hmmm… I just like it, although some people would say, “karas juga badan ko?”. Wakakakakaka.

February – Love is on the air
The month of love. Ya, 14^th of February, Valentine day. Hmmm… Celebrate this with my family and friends. The ‘heart’ is slowly healing from it’s wound although it opened up on Valentine’s Day. Wakakakaka.

Oh it’s also the farewell to my former boss, Mr. Chin Chee Bin or Paul Chin. My best mentor, although only knowing him for few months. He migrated to Australia with his family and settled in well there. We still communicated though via Facebook. Hehehehehe

March – Election Day
Believe it or not, this is the first time I voted in a general election. I’ve reached the legal age to vote on 2001, but they have recently done the GE, so I won’t bother going to register until 2003. I’ve registered but I was not eligible to vote in the 2004 GE. Finally in 8 Mac 2008 I manage to vote for the first time. I also have the feeling that I need to voice out some things, some issues but I can’t say it publicly or write here… Later, people would either intentionally or unintentionally misinterpret what I say or wrote. Then I will be in a very big trouble. So I guess voting is the best way to have my say! But do ‘they’ listened to it??? Hmmm… Kamu danger kah? Hallloooo???? Macam nda…

The 2008 GE results is one of the greatest upsets of all time. The current goverment did won it, but fail to maintain the 2/3 majority needed. Then few ministers lost in this election. Some of them are big name in Malaysians political scenario and to make it worst, they’ve lost 5 states.

Some says this GE results is partly due to the influence of the cyber space. The internet has played ‘some’ role in deciding the recent GE result. To be honest, I do agree with this. People nowadays look things from many angles. They don’t just look on one side and said, “Ya… Betul tu!”. You can’t just ‘feed’ them with things that don’t want to eat. They will find the way to eat things that they like. So think again. The younger generation of Malaysians is the future of the country, and some of them have start talking. They are not ‘just another voter’. They are the voter! Who decide where the county will go!

April – Prank Time!!!
Whoa!!! This is the most dangerous month. For me lah at least. As I said in my April post, some friends still ‘bernapsu’ mo kasi kena… Yang kaw-kaw pinya. What I mean is the April Fool. Luckily teda yang kena… Passed this… but 2009’s April is coming… arrrggghhh!
I’ve started my official job as State-Level Kaamatan Photographer by taking picture at the press conference of the Unduk Ngadau, held at the Imperial Hotel. Doing that with mr. gogds.

May – Kaamatan Mode!
Whole month filled with kaamatan activities, although most of my time is filled with taking photographs. Starting from mid-May onwards. It is where the Sugandoi or singing competition kicks-off. From kids to the veteran, I have to cover all the event. Not me alone lah… There is gogds, who later joined by mr. Pirut and bambangan.

The Sugandoi give me a chance to see a lot of talented singer, young singer from around Sabah. Surprisingly, I’ve meet some who was once compete with me in a small competition. The winner is my friend, Mr. Malvin Kalbin.

I really feel that the winner of the Sugandoi competition should be given something like a contract, for 1 or 2 albums maybe. There is no continuity for the winner. After they win, they have to find their way to get notice as people will have the tendacy forgot about them after 6 months. The Committee should at least co-produce (if they can’t afford to produce it alone) the album with production house of their choice, manage them and promote them. My view lah

And also a Penampang Unduk Ngadau was crowned on the 31^st May 2008. Also a Sabahan finally won AF via Stacy. Wekekekeke

Another note, Manchester United won their 10^th Premier League title on the very last day of the season. They went on to win the double via lifting the UEFA Champions League, beating Chelsea in the final! What a game!!! GLORY-GLORY MANCHESTER UNITED!!!

June – Expensive oil, costlier lifestyle
In June, the most talking points are the hike of the oil price. It was a sudden decision made by the government and it really caught many people by surprise, and that includes me. I was actually planning to get my self a car, but due to the oil price hike, I had to postpone it until I think it is wise to get a car. They say that the current global oil price is the reason why the oil price is raised. It is inevitable, referring the oil price hike.

Some people do speculate that is the way the punished the people for failing to get what they want. Dunno what the truth about this is, but its only 3 months after the GE… Hmmm

KaDuS Bilang:
I'll add the second part later... Wekekekeke... Still in New Year mode no idea whatsoever what to write. Yeah... Today i'm on duty, where i should be in Holiday. Went late to work, because of stomach ache. Not a good way to start my new year... hmmm...

Finally i've ended 2008. A year with so many things up and less down. I'll review my 2008 in a my very own re-cap later... Tapi, it's really sad to leave 2008, where so many memories, good and bad, happy and sad happened. Tapi tulah... urang bilang life must go on. Setiap pertemuan, must ada perpisahan. Tu yang urang bilang. So, by entering 2008 on 1st Jan 2008, we've 'signed' a deal that we will say good by to 2008, whether we like it or not. The same things goes with 2009. Eh apa yang sia cakap nie...?

So how was your New Year eve? Fun? Drunk? Happy? Handphone network Jammed? Basah? Bau Asap tu baju? And many more lah kan... New Year Eve biasanya tu family member gather. Not not excluded. Me and my brother went to my Uncle house, to celebrate New Year eve and yes, we do enjoy it. Ada jyuga few friend yang sia jumpa tadi, admit yang derang baru bangun... sebab utama KOGUTAN! Wekekekeke... Normal lah that... bukan selalu juga kan... Handphone jammed, sudah semestinya... Ntah berapa kali sia send mesej pigi saturang tu, sebab balik-balik failed... tapi dia delivered juga. Hmm... Ada sms yang sia nda kenal number dia... but i do reply... Those yang kena sms sampai dua-tiga kali tu, i'm sorry kio.

Bah... For those yang i forgot to wish, i'm Sorry, maybe your number is not saved inside my hp due to sometime last year, my phone giving me problem. Wekekekeke...

So For Everybody...

Yes, this is it. My final post of the year 2008. Tomorrow it will be a whole new year. 2009, Here I come! In less than 24 hours we will be celebrating the New Year. At this time of writing, 15 hours left. People everywhere will either gather with their family’s member or their friends. No one wants to be alone on the New Year eve. Me included. I’ve been spending my New Year eve with my family for whole of my life and I never am alone. This time it will be no different. I will be at my uncle house for our family gathering. The typical activities will includes dinner, ‘some’ drinking session and the countdown. Confirm basah ni kana siram, but that is normal. Kana tidak basah kana siram, mimang nda sah tu New Year. Urang bilang buang suey. Don’t know how far the truth is, but since it’s been practices way before I was born, ikut saja lah.

So be prepare for major jam. Bukan traffic jam, tapi Phone network Jam. Selalunya 30 minutes before and after the 12.00 strike. Gerenti. Last year pun lebih kurang.

Resolutions

Everybody has their own yearly resolutions. Some are totally new some are old one. Kira recycle lah. The most common New Year resolutions for man is ‘To Stop Smoking’ and ‘To Stop Drinking’. For girl ‘To Loose Few kg’. I don’t want to comment about girls resolutions but that two commonly use resolutions for man in my opinion is the most used and repeated resolutions in the world. Can it be done? It need self-discipline and supports to achieve that. What about me? Am I using that as my priority of resolutions? Nah… I don’t think so. I’ve once used that as my main resolutions and I failed badly. Nda pun sampai 1 bulan di January, my pledge of stop smoking has failed. Kalau bilang minum tu at least I can control it, but stop… hmmm. It happened way back in 1999. From there I never make ‘stop smoking’ or ‘drinking’ as my main resolutions. It will be my side or mini not-so-important resolutions though! Wekekekeke.

So, one of my resolutions will be, completing all I have not achieve in the year 2008. Ada few lagi need to be completed. Once completed, I will be living in my happy world, and ready to enter a new decade of life in 2010. I wish I could get my hand of a few stuff that has been eluded me since early last year. One of them is my very own dSLR. Next year I will get it and I am 101% sure. One way or another. Then there is the need of a new PC/Laptops. Works has become more and more demanding and my current machine can’t really cope with that. So getting a new machine will be one of the things needed to be done ASAP. Car… Yes… Almost got it this year, until the government decided to raise the oil price and makes me re-arrange my finance. That results me postponing my plan to get it. 2009 will be the year I get my own car. I can see it! What I mean by 'my own' is using my own money, without ever asking from my parents. Malu juga, suda tua pun masi juga mo minta parent. Minta dari banklah… tapi sama juga mo bayar balik, using my own money!

You might be saying, eh… kebendaan saja resolutions si Mark ni. What about other things such as life? Hmm… I do have it and Thank God I do achieve it every year. It has become my main and very important resolutions. But let me keep it between myself only lah.But will reveal some of it lah

HOPE OF 2009 – Life in Overall

I hope I will be improving myself lah. Furthering my studies will be one of my main targets. I don’t want to be doing the same things over and over again until called it a day. Learning new curve of life will make me armed to face this ever challenging world. As I said previously in my post, I love challenges. But sometimes the challenge I face is so damn difficult. I need to be prepare so whenever the challenges come, I can happily says, “Mari lah sini, datanglah kepada ku…” Wakakakaka

As time goes, year’s passes by, I know I’m getting older. Health will prove to be very-very vital in my later life. My (slim) body can’t always sustain the demand of life. So I hope to keep myself as healthy as I can be and fitter as I can.

Money is important in today’s world, where there will be no more free stuff to get. Everywhere you go, need to pays. Masuk toilet pun mo bayar. Successfully managing my own finance will be crucial. Failing to do so will results me having nothing but debts around my slim waist. Wekekekeke

Love… emmm… nda payah cakap lah…

HOPE OF 2009 – My State, My country

I hope for the stability of the political scene in Malaysia. Stop all those nonsense wanting to be this and that. Do what those rakyat. Who has been voting for you, hope you to do. They don’t vote for you to became a ‘jaguh’ in their eyes and do nothing. They don’t vote for you to see you doing things for your personal glory. They vote for you with a rays of hope that one day you can change their life, although not in overall. A Slight change will make people happy and satisfy that they did not vote for nothing. Come on. IMHO, all the politician are just about the same. What makes them different is how they make their decision, how they justify the faith and mandate given by the rakyat.

I won’t criticize anybody, but those who terasa… well since ko sudah temakan lada, ko rasa padas… sindri mo ingat lah… Hehehehe

HOPE OF 2009 – Manchester United

Being one of their loyal supporters (been a Red Devil since 1990), I hope that they will keep on winning. Nothing makes me much happier if they win. Although their winning margin is a bit low for a club like Man. Utd I can still smile and say ‘yes… manang lagi!” Still remember last year, when things not going right for me, I’m feeling so down, and on the same time Man. Utd was up against Liverpool live on TV. When the final whistle in blown, I just don’t give a damn about what is happening at that time cause Man. Utd defeated the kops by 1-0. goal by Carlos Tevez. Hahahahaha… Addicted nie…

So will it be another Manchester united triumph come May? I hope so… Glory-Glory Manchester United!!!

So this wraps up my post for 2008. Some things better be keep within me… So I hope you will have a very enjoyable with your family and friends wherever you are maybe. Happy New Year 2009! Peace & God Bless

Well, nobody are in the mood of doing works now... Ramai sudah yang cuti... Jalan raya pun agak lengang uda... No more rush hour going to work, where the road will be jammed, especially from Dambai to Donggongon... Well, if you have three round-about in less (or more) than a kilometre distance, you will get a daily dose of 7 too 8.30am traffic jam. Actually i still don't have any idea why must they build a lot of round-about here in donggongon... Hmmm...

PEACE & GOD BLESS!!

Champion of England, Champion of Europe and just last night, Champion of the World! All in one year! Great achievement Manchester United. It’s just like 9 years ago when they won the EPL on the very last day of the season beating Tottenham Hotspurs by 2-1. Then winning the FA Cup beating Newcastle 2-0, and on 26^th May 1999, Man. Utd did the unthinkable when they score two very late goal (in the injury time) to win the European Cup for the second time in Man. Utd history. They were actually trailing by one goal to Bayern Munich but two very late goal, first by Teddy Sheringham, followed by Ole Gunnar Solskjaer make sure that Man. Utd completed the treble to mark their most successful year in their history. Few months later, they win the Intercontinental Cup by beating Palmeiras 1-0 at Tokyo. 4 Major trophies in a year! What an achievement.

Last night they did it again, although this time, less 1 trophy. They lose the FA Cup semi-final match and eliminated early in the League Cup. This time around, they in the running for all of the trophies offered. They are in the Semi-Final of the League Cup, and in the knock-out phase of the Champions League. The FA Cup hasn’t started yet and the Premier League is still a long way to go. Can they do another remarkable achievement? Can they win it all? I believe they can!

KaDuS Bilang:
Another year of trophies. so what's up for 2009? Susah mo cakap. this time around, teams in the BPL (EPL) is unpredictable. Just look on how Stoke City manage to draw with Liverpool at Anfield and defeated Arsenal. How teams who are doom to relegation slowly climbs the BPL ladder to safety. Man. Utd should be really-really aware of all the threat from the bilis-bilis. Jan tinguk bilis, silap-silap jadi jaws juga. tu yang banyak upset ni tahun. So after a very suffering Saturday evening, without live soccer match, Man. Utd matches i mean, i finally got to see a decent football match on Sunday evening. Puas ati lah... Okay Enjoy!!!

Like every occasion or celebration held at the office, we will do the decoration for the whole office. FYI, we at SCC celebrate all major celebration at the office. Start with Chinese New Year, Kaamatan, Hari Raya Aidilfitri and now Christmas. Everytime there is an event, we will do things like decorating the office and then do some presentation to the judges. Oh... we compete with other department. Just like the choir competition... Friendly competition lah Hehehehehe.

This time around, i am parts of the short play. I become one of the sheperds. First time i wore this kind of outfits. I am one of the three sheperds who is been told by an Angel (play by Irene G) that Jesus, The Saviour is Born. the two other sheperds played by Shaun V and Ferandi J. Siok ni... This is the 3rd time i'm in a play since i joined this organisation.

I actually don’t want to write about this but I feel that I am free to give my comments on what’s happening in and around Sabah. So please (whoever you are) don’t say I am harshly criticizing you as me myself want to see our local music industry is on the very highest of quality! Yah, I’m referring to the PERTISA Award, held on 6th December 2008 at the KDCA Hall.

First, a big hand of applause for coming up with this event. I think the time has come for our entertainment industry to have this kind of award show. We have gone far from that old ukulele sound to the more sophisticated kind of music equipments. Emmm… I still love that ukulele sound though! Well, this is the second time that PERTISA organized the award show. I didn’t attend the first one (which also held at KDCA way back in 2004) for a reason that I already forgot. Hehehehe. So can’t make a benchmark on the improvement or decline in quality of organizing this event. This is the first time I attend the Award show where I was appointed as an official photographer. Hmmm… Asal event KDCA, kalau involves misti photographer… Wakakaka… Well I like it… at least I will know what to do, instead of sitting there doing foolish things… Wakakakaka

The event held was ‘buli lah’ in my point of view. Maybe I was used to take photograph in a larger scale of event and in a very sophisticated (twice uda used this word) environment. Better more, I’ve once involved in organizing a Mega Concert which proved to be very-very though. So maybe juga my expectation is too high for this event. Tapi nda lah sia expect yang sampai macam American Grammy Award (AMA) or Anugerah Industri Muzik (AIM) gitu. But at least doing it to be just like those awards show (AMA, AIM) pun okay sudah lah.

I’ve notice few things lah. Maybe people will disagree with me, but this is my view only. First, is the audio quality and the lighting. Really not up to what I’ve been expecting for an event of this scale. Come on lah... Others maybe okay, but my mood of taking picture really ruined by both the audio and the lighting. I’m confused with the lighting. Maybe because I am not so ‘pro’ in taking picture, I might don’t know the right setting for the camera. I admit most of my photo quality is not good. Not even good to publish it here. So that is my fault lah… maybe… But what about the audio? I know it’s hard to get a good audio quality inside a hall, except if you record it directly from the mixer it self… Maybe lah… Tapi for me, the audio was… adeh… apa macam mo cakap ah? Senang cakap, bikin sakit telinga sia mo dengar. Make me feels dizzy! Much dizzier than reading books… wakakakaka…

As I said earlier, my expectation for the awards show might be a bit high than what I’ve seen that night. I was actually hoping that there will be a place at the backstage where the winner of any given award will pose with their winning trophy. Sadly there were no such things. I went to the backstage to find the artist as it would be great if I could take their picture with their trophy. What I found was a group of dancers getting ready for their next performance. Where were the artists?

They (the organizer) did charge an entrance fee for those who didn’t want to be in the dinner table. I was told that the entrance fee was RM3 per person. It was announced on a Radio station too. So I told a few friends to come and witness this event. Suddenly they sms me and said that I am a liar. I was shocked… I asked them why do they say that to me… They answered that the ticket price for the gallery seating was not RM3 but RM10! Whoa!!! How come the ticket price could increase so sudden? Just like the harga minyak… Tiba-tiba naik… tapi pandai turun pula… not like the ticketlah… where some people has to fork out extra RM7 just to give support to this event… Duit juga bah tu… pikir senang kah mo cari RM7?

I don’t want to talk about the results lah. Since the awards recipients is decided by voting, so it is the voters right to vote who they think is the most popular. They will choose from a list of candidate, and pick their choice. Just like the elections lah.

But sadly, in one week, I’ve been listening to talks from people in and around KK saying that the result is somehow funny. They thinks, It (the result) didn’t give the ‘right’ picture on who is the most popular in the state. But again, it is the voter’s rights. They can choose whoever they like to win this or that’s awards. I definitely don’t blame the winner or the organizer. Hence, no one should be in the firing line for this. If the organizer decides that they want to use this method of voting, it’s their rights!

"Is Era FM to be blamed? Rich and Estranged won an Award of which the result was decided by online voting."

Then, timbul pula the most interesting talks about individual who win it by bulk voting. What I mean is, say I was one of the candidates and I buy a lot of voting sheet to vote for myself. Seriously, is there any wrong in that? The title is The Most Popular… POPULAR! Hello! I want to be popular, so I have to do anything and everything in my power to get myself noticed by the public or in other word: POPULAR! Even if I have to sacrifice a lot of money to do that, I will do it. So I guess there is no problem is this individual win this or that award via own bulk voting. The voting form did not state that only one vote from any person… It is an anonymous vote.

One of the most sensitive things that have been ringing through people mind was the result. It is pure, honest, and transparent results? Whoahahahaha… I am not in a good position to comment on this. So I won’t comment any of this. What I can see is the working committee has been working hard to count all the votes that comes, took them days to complete the voting. I was actually asked by one of the committee member to help on the votes counting process, but due to my position in KaDuS Entertainment™ and other commitments, I have to decline it.
So if there is any inquiry about this, don’t ask me! Ask the main organizer. Hehehehe…

Overall, I’m quite satisfied lah… As I said before… Buli Lah… It can be improved in the future. To all the PERTISA members, keep up the good works… I and KaDuS Entertainment™ will supports you people, as what we’ve been doing for the past few months. Critics do come. So view it in a positive and constructive ways. Don’t take all critics as negative, it won’t help you. It will ruin you in a long run. I’ve read and love the comments made by Mr. Ambrose Mudi at his blog, http://yangkalamai.blogspot.com. He even comes up with ideas and ways to improve PERTISA. Also a blog from a friend of mine, who happen to be a local Artist and also PERTISA members, Guadik Ansiw. He can be found on his blogsite at, http://adex-gamusic.blogspot.com. See, there’s a lot of thinker in and around our local music industry. Even in PERTISA itself.

KaDuS Bilang:
Bah, If anybody feels hurts by what I wrotes here, I’m sorry, but for me I am just expressing views from my head. As I said earlier, seeing our local entertainment industries grows in my main priority. That’s why I started KaDuS Entertainment™ way back in 2005. So don’t think we are a threat. Sama-sama lah bah kan… Again… Sorry, Siou, Tui Pu Chi and apa-apa bahasalah kalau ada yang tersinggung dengan post nie… To all the winners and award recipients, congratulations. Enjoy…

Not Much today. Not feeling so well today, emotionally wise lah. Can't perform well, can;t think well... WARNING!

I know, i know... i am the last to upload this pic. Ya... but for me kan... Better late than never. Wekekekeke. I am not a very good photographer as i am just learning to uses it.

Nah, it's been a while since i last update my blog. Mo dekat satu minggu juga lah... Nothing much happen last week. It's a normal working days for me... Only that since tuesday, i had difficulties of waking up in the morning... Padahal awal juga tidur.

Emm... nothing much to update for now. But i will upload all the picture i promised after this... after doing some works lah... So have a nice day... and Enjoy!

I'm really busy this past few days. That's explain why there is no update here... will update you soon. But here's some brief update on what has been happening last week.

MON - FRI
Works as usual. Nothing special recorded. Only some news making the headlines. One is the 'tanah runtuh' in West Malaysia. hmmm... My prayers and thoughts goes for the family victims. Next quite bizarre news. It is about a man killed at a karaoke in Sandakan. Reasons: Mic! (Mikrofon bah). The victim is so reluctant to hand over the mic after he sing his songs. (Normally they rotate table by table bah). But this fella' thinks that, maybe i should runs the show tonite and be a star. Prove to be wrong!!! He was stabbed by those who (maybe) feels irate. Well, if i am in that situation, i will be annoyed too. Tapi nda lah sampai mo menikam. So i do agree when a plain cloth policeman goes to any pubs or karaoke to do a spotcheck. To ensure no trouble will arise lah...
(This is For Bobby: Ini Adalah Pemeriksaan Rutin... Sila Keluarkan Kad Pengenalan Anda dan berikan Kerjasama Sepenuhnya!!! Hehehehehe)

Anugerah PERTISA 2008
This event held at the KDCA building and organised by PERTISA (Persatuan Artis Tempatan Negeri Sabah). Great event though. I was assigned as the official photographer for the night with gogds, pirut, gonit and bambangan. Luckily we used to cover this kind of event, so not much problem lah. Two things bothering my concertration was the audio quality (which not really up to my ears standards) and the lighting (really confusing when i want to take picture nie.) But overall the event was good! Hope to see more event like this in the future... Hey our Local Sabahan music industry is going into the right direction... SUPPORT US!!! We may not be able to become the best music industry in Asia, we can truly be the Best In Malaysia!!!

O2C's RED Is GLAM Charity Party!
I confirmed my attendance on the very last minute as i was undecided wether to go or not. But after talks with gogds and some friends, i've decided to go. Dan lagi, i've received some SMS mengerikan dari someone that i dont know (at first) then finally ikew who was it. Sebab SMS dia makin lama makin mengerikan...
The event was BRILLIANT and Big kudos to O2C! There were talks, magic show but what i really like is Live Band Show by JIAJA. Finally i've listened the Kura-Kura song live! The song is sooo funny lah... it's about two turtle... Eh nantilah cakap pasal ni lagu... Then i finally meet up with fellow blogger such as Greg Chai (TK), si kuai, girllyen (with her baby, D90) and zi (nda tertegur dia nie... siou). Ada lai, but sia nda brapa ingat. And sia nda nampak si Adora Madpie semalam... mana dia pigi??? But it was a memorable event lah... And on top of that i'm having fun taking picture last night.

So Next update (hopefully) will be with the picturelah... Need to compile dulu all the picture as soon as i got it from tuan gogds!

KaDuS Bilang:
You may get all the info there (at O2C's Blog) so visit the blogsite. There will be a RM30 entrance fee for every guest. To expensive? Think Again... RM30 will helps those who needed them, especially those suffering with HIV. Today, we helps them, who knows, when the time COMES, when we will be needing others helps, or something like this lah... So helps them... RM30 isn't much compare to how much they need in research on the cure of HIV.

Bah... To create awareness to this program, i'll show one video from Manchester United FC. In fact Man. Utd do have a campaign of their own about AIDS. United For Children, United Against AIDS!!! So Enjoy!!!

Ada Langit Biru

Saat hujan turun membasahi
Badai datang untuk membanjiri
Ku aman berada disisi Mu
Meski pun ku tahu semua kan berlalu

Saat ku terapung di lautan
Kau yakinkan ku kita takkan berpisah
Ku tau Engkaulah sahabatku
Walaupun waktu pun kan berlaju

Ku memandang ke awan
Ku yakin Kau bersamaku
Takkan pernah tinggal kan ku
Walau ku tersesat
Ku yakin Kau menuntunku
S’lama masih ada langit biru

Setiap kata yang tak pernah terucap
Dan penyesalan yang tak pernah berubah
Ku bawa saat ku bentang sayapku
Menatap hidup yang ada depanku

I first listen to this song at alevate’s blog. He (alevate) did make a review about this song (and the album) before in his blog but I just want to share you the song I currently listen and love at this moment. Didn’t quite get the meaning of this song at first, but after listening the the music itself, I kindda like it. So I went to search the lyric and the song over the net. Glad fully, it didn’t take me a long time to get the lyrics and the song. I found out that this is a gospel song from Indonesia, where the singer (maybe) is Sidney Mohede. He’s a pastor according to my friend.

Personal Opinion: Well looking at the lyrics, I knew that this is a gospel song, but I think it also can be meant for friendship. For me, this song is universal, where it didn’t stick to gospel alone. The music genre is actually my favorite. That’s explains why it is so easy for me to get this song into my head.

I hope you will enjoy listening to this song.

Teda apa-apa. Just that, this song brings lots of meaning. Loves the chorus part. Recently got the full album, thanks to gogds.

Today, the 30th November 2008 is the final day of my favorite month. Time fly fast. I still think that i just took my offer letter in January, when i've been working here in SCC for almost a year now. Again, how time fly fast. Still too early to describe 2008 for me, coz i still have 1 month more to completed its journey. 2008 journey. So by 31th December 2008 i will post my journey, all the happening, throughout dis year with a different way and content.

Actually nothing much to write today. I think i'm getting sick, yet again. i've just recovered from my 3-in-1 disease last week, and here comes another 'panyakit'. Woke up this morning, i feels pain in my throat. My body temprature has risen up. Fever lagi lah nie. Went out to donggongon to find some 'buang panas' drinks, only ends up drinking another glass of nescaffe. Huh... how addicted am i to this drinks. But since my friends so generous to buy me the drinks, buat apa mo tolak kan... I guess he kena number lah yesterday nie.

Oh, i finally get my FM2009 from my friend, but have yet to try it on my PC. Feels tired yesterday after went out with gogds (and wife) to CP, but before that went to the State Muzeum to send the voting form to Mr. Nars. Now i know why i'm getting sick. The weather is hot yesterday, and i am dehydrated. Mum say to me this morning, "Kau kurang minum air bah tu...".
Went home yesterday, was thinking to install the game. But instead of installing the game, i've ends up listening to Sydney Mohede songs, Ada Langit Biru. Good song, i'll post about this later. So i will try to install it tonight.

What else? Nothing much... So, i guess i see you next month!

Well, nothing much on this Saturday morning... morning? AFTERNoon uda oh. Still feeling the hungover becoz of last nite, but okay oredi lah. After a bowl of hot 'mee soup', really makes me energized! Hahahaha. Good ol' remedy for the kogutan (hungovers) effect.

Yesterday our office, organized the Inter-Floor Choir competition where we were divided into 3 group according to the floor. I was in the 3rd Floor group. We sang two songs, namely Peng You (Emil Chow) and Sejahtera Malaysia. Well, we only manage 2nd placing but most us our collegue thought we are the winner. Nda pa, will try next time. For the record, since i works here, i've involve in three choir competition. Well, this is the proved that SCC is truly a singing organization!

Yesterday was also the last day for some of our trainee. They were attached here (SCC) as part of their studies requirement. This includes the trainee who were attached to the IT Section. Three trainee completed their training yesterday (two will complete next tuesday). Here are some of the JAJAL face of our trainee...

The five left! Doing their style... Just don't know why zura doing that sign... wakakakakaka

Junior Bungkilan - At first, pendiam ya amat... but lama-lama, utak dia semakin rusak! Wekekekeke. His final day was yesterday

Arzura - This girl hails from Sandakan and studying at KYM (Kolej Yayasan Melaka). This is her 'JAJAL' face...

Nirmalasari - Best Friend wit Arzura. Same from Sandakan and KYM. According to her, this is her 'JAJAL' face, but for me is the AYU-AYU face!

WEBBER - A blogger friend. He can be found HERE. He is very closed to another blogger and trainee, Vister.


VISTER - Another blogger-trainee here in IT Section! Ni lah muka jajal dia. Wakakakaka... Oh, he can be found HERE

Well, i have a very good time with all this trainee... Jajal-jajal pun derang tetap bersemangat mo belajar and finished their training. During my college time, i was not that lucky to go to any industrial training as our only option is to do the Final Project. No option lah. So i never felt this kind of training until i took my Linux certification, and sent to SCC for two months industrial training, which lands me the job here... Wekekeke...

KaDuS Bilang:
To those yang rasa kana sabotaj pic dia... well, this is just me to let the world know that i have a very special brother and sister in SCC, and not only as a trainee ah. So Godd Luck in whatever you are doing next, and KO LAH THANK YOU!!!

It's Finally out... But not 'yet' here in Malaysia lah. I guess have to wait for another month for this be in Malaysians market. Oh, this is about my favorite game series, the Football Manager 2009 (or in short form FM09). The last game i played was Football Manager 2008 (FM08). It become more and more realistic since i first played Championship Manager 1997/1998. From what I've heard FM09 will feature a 3D match engine to give 'managers' much more clearer idea on what happening on the pitch, rather to depend on the 2D match engine and 'commentary'. Good lah, cause i always misinterpret the meaning of any of the commentary given.

Here's some new feature that will make me more eager to get this game A.S.A.P. Wohoo...

1. 3D Match Engine - As said above, this will be something new for me. (I didn't play Fifa Manager, so i know nothing about 3D Match Engine).

2. TV View - Don't know anything about this. but for 1 and 2, i think i will need a very good PC with a decent Graphic Card to experience it. Hmmm...

3. Assistant Manager Feedback - Another new stuff. In FM08 the only feedback the assistant manager will give to me is how do they respone in the team talk, before, between and after the match. this time, the AM will tell whether my tactics is working or not and maybe ideas on how to outwit the opposition tactics. I can see that i would need to get an AM with a very good tactical knowledge here...

4. Improved Media - I don't actually think that this features will give any effect to my game play, but really wanted to see how they develop the Media? more stories maybe? detailed stories?

5. Press Conferences - Wah... i like this. although it's not like the normal press conference where they will be a lot of reporters asking questions.

6. Transfer System - Good if they've revamp it. i just can't understand the real life transfer system now. Especially in Europe. Quite confusing nie... So if they revamp it i should get an idea it. Hehehehe...

7. Transfer Rumours - Its been retained but i guess it has a new feature, and it will affect the moral of the players, staff and fans... I love this features.

and more..

FM08?
So what will happen to this game? What will happened to Chesterfield (a team i am managing in FM08). Hmmm... It's come to my fifth season managing this team, just missed out on a automatic promotion spot, after drawing my final league game against Fulham. Now i am facing a playoff match. Hmm... But after Sport Interactive (SI) announced the release of FM09... Macam teda semangat mo continue this game already. We'll see lah...

But i hope this next installation of Football Manager Series will improved on every aspect and make them the closest to real life football managing experience. Really, i just can't wait to get this game and play it!! Yeah!!!

KaDuS Bilang:
I've been a fans of this game since 1998. Much improved game lah compare to the old one. Well, as i said if, i want to experience the fullest graphic capability, i need to have a very good pc. So how ah... nantilah. Wekekekeke... Well, i always start the game with Manchester united then i pick other team from other league.

Whoa... Tooks me a while to write this post. A bit busy this past few days... Actually nothing much to update lah... Only that i wanna say thank you all for the Birthday wishes, which i get as early as 12.02am on Friday, 21st Nov 2008. That was Mary J. W. Every year she will make sure that she is the first to wish, but every year she will fail... wakakaka... oh she has the same birthdate with me.

Okay, So tq all for the wishes. ON FACEBOOK, FRIENDSTER, SMS, CALL, EMAIL, BLOG. TQ Very much. And TQ juga to Johnny Mansor and All the IT Staff of Sabah Credit. TQ for the cake and the small party! Johhny, TQ juga tu cap Manchester united, sama tu keychain... Really enjoy it!

God Bless You All!!!

“Petrol, Diesel down 15 sen today

Kuala Lumpur: Petrol and diesel will be sold 15 sen cheaper today following the government’s decision to lower fuel prices in tandem with the downward of global oil prices.”

This was at the front page of the local newspaper. The one I bought lah, dunno about others. Actually I’ve listen to it juga at our local radio, early in the morning. I guess most of us have been expecting this news, especially those who are using their own car to go to work. Me? I’m using public transportation, but I am one of many consumers affected by the recent fuel price hike. This is when traders simply hike up all their goods prices, with a very simple reason… “Aiyah, minyak naik lor… tu barang bukan pandai datang sendiri sini. Mo pakai kereta juga. Kereta mo isi minyak bah.” Well, think about it, LOGIK JUGA LAH! The goods wont fly to the shops from the factory.

What about services offers by transportation industry? Busses and taxi for example. They will give a very logical answer when you ask or even say, “Aih… Mahal Juga!” So Don’t even bother to ask or say that to them as their answer will be, “Ko pikir ni kereta jalan pakai air kah?” or something like that lah.

So Mr. Trader and Mr. Driver, Wassup…? Would that be a good news for you all? The fuel price has gone down again. 5 times already this year. So what are you waiting for? Now the petrol is priced at RM2 per liter. Diesel will be at RM1.90 per liter. So? Bila? Are you just want to stick with all the prices and reaps all the benefits of cheaper fuel, just by yourself? Oh our TPM also said this:

“Najib hoped traders would also lower prices of goods and services following the reduction in fuel price to enable the people to reap the full benefits of cheaper fuel”

But I guess, no one is listening lah. Maybe the want to cover up all their loses, when the government decided to raised the fuel price drastically. Nda ingat sudah bila, but I guess before June this year. Maybe some of their profit went down as the have to stick with the current prices while the cost of transportation and everything else has risen up. When they’ve start to raised the price, to cover their loss, the government slowly reduces the oil price. Hmmm… Can’t blame the traders juga. But this is about the trader, who depend on the goods, delivery cost and transportation cost.

What about when their services are 100% on transportation? Bukankah their services is also 100% dependable to the oil prices? I can’t blame them 100% juga for rising the fares. Tapi since now the fuel prices has been reduce, why still stick with the high bus fares? I used to go to the city for only RM0.90 one way… Now the cost to go to the city is RM2.00! The minimum fare is RM0.80 and that would only get you to a 1KM destination.

From what I heard, the fares was recently hiked up due to the (according to them) high fuel price. Oh, for the record, the old fare was at RM1.50 one way to the city. For the record juga the hike up the fare AFTER the government decided to reduce the fuel price for the fourth time this year. So since they (the government) decided to further reduce the fuel prices, wouldn’t it be appropriate for them (the bus operators) also reduced the fare? Untuk kebaikan bersama? Hmmm… Sia rasa ada sebab derang stick with the old price. But can’t seem to see what should be the cause of that.

Well, mimang macam tiada effect saja sama sia bila the government say, TURUN LAGI HARGA MINYAK. Bukan saja sama sia, sama urang lain juga. Hard for me to explain cause I am not the one who drive the bus nor the one who decide whether to reduce or not the oil prices. But IMHO (wah!), the fare should be reduce lah! Time dia naik sampai mo dakat RM3 nda pula kamu kasi naik, now, bila uda kana reduce, u people simply hike it up pula.

KaDuS Bilang:
Sia pun nda tau apa mo cakap sudah… Well, I really hope to see that things will come back to normal. I’m not expecting that all the the prices will go down, like the good ol’ day that I used to buy a lot of thing just by using RM50. Even save some for tomorrow usage. At least the price is reasonable for everyone lah. Not only for those people yang kaya raya. But also people like me yang nda seberapa nie. Gaji bukan basar sangat. Okay lah!

Still no idea what to blog about, but since i got this "rare" tag from Blossom, I've decided to do this tagged lah... Of all the tagged or survey I've done, this is by far the weirdest tagged I've got... But still it is fun... This tag is about car. My 7 Favorite Dream Car... (or car i like but never going to get it. Hehehehehe)

2. Add a link to the person who tagged you
-It's Blossom.
3. List your 7 dream cars (preferably with pics of those cars)
4. Tag at least 7 other bloggers
- dunno who to tagged lah... Not really into tagging,... but i guess, i'll tagged few people lah... Si Webber sama si Vister. juga si Olumis and Si Girllyen. And oh, si Adora juga... tapi sia rasa dia nda blogging sementara waktu... so kira utang lh... So yang dua tu, whoever feels like to do this, JUST DO IT!!! Yeah!!!

KaDuS Bilang:
Well, this probbaly the list of car that i will only get in my dream. I personally like the Honda civic Type-R. Can't find the blue one... so Red pun i guess okay lah... Have to work hard to get those car lah... But at this very moment, and with the current economic situation, and the fuel price lai.

Oh, talking about the fuel price, i heard the fuel price has drop 15sen again today. Good news lah kan... but what really annoyed me was the bus fare (to KK) naik lagi... Hmmm... What is the reason? Macam teda effect saja goverment kasi turun harga minyak. I think it is because the goods price is still not reduced lah... So bila lah mo murah semua harga nie?

i guess, still okay lah if no car... Tapi future, its a must lah... having a car...

Okay... That's All

No update so far today. as usual Monday's feels like no mood to go to work... it's normal lah. Most people feels this way lah... Nda heran... this is what people called Monday Blues. The feeling where people feel so malas to go to work. Bah, Saturday and Sunday maybe penuh with activities and happening, some woke up late for two days... hahahaha. that's include me. Tapi bukan lah late sampai jam 1 or jam 2 petang. Always woke up at 6 to 6.30 am everyday so, paling lambat pun kalau Saturday and Sunday will be at about 8 or 9. Even if on Friday we are having a 'hang out' nite. Wekekekekeke... so, some of us, masi rasa tu tidur belum cukup or belum puas. So still rasa yang monday morning to is Saturday morning or Sunday morning. Wakakakakaka... Well, hantam saja bah... lama-lama biasa juga tu... Bisuk Tuesday sudah juga...
