Happy Eid

Selamat Hari Raya and Maaf Zahir Batin.

So i guess this is gonna be my first post after approximately 5 and a half months ( i've to give credits to Sepet for the post before this).

I guess i am tired of answering peoples' questions concerning the hijacking of both Bunga Melatis. At first it was a bit fun to tell stories about me working on ships and the terror within me everytime the prospect of passing thru the Gulf of Aden passes thru my mind. But after houses and houses and houses telling the same story, i got bored of it eventually. I did however, managed to elude the crunches of the pirates by coming home just one day before raya. Maybe this year, luck is on me side and i have to thank Him for all the rezki that He'd blessed to me. And FYI, my ship, SS Seri Alam, was scheduled to transit through the Gulf on the 1st and 2nd of October, which is also the first and second day of raya.


SS SERI ALAM

There's good news to behold by then, as news about several PASKAL (the Malaysian Commandos) personnel will board Seri Alam during transitting. To what extent does the truth lies, i dont really know, because on that respective day, I am already in kampung taking shots of myself and my family and relatives. I felt pity for my fellow ship mates for not being able to celebrate raya due to the need of keeping piracy watches around the clock during transitting. And my prayers are always with them wherever they may be.

I was at my uncle's house just now when the tv aired the interview sessions of the unlucky guys involved with the hijacking. Most of them were Kelantanis i think. Hmm. And these guys still have the guts to go back to sea anytime to work again. I wouldnt say that I am a coward, but if i am in their place, the likelihood of me having to endure those gruelling captivity again is just gonna make me think twice before going onboard. Or maybe thrice.

So yeah. While i am still in malaysia for the moment, i would try to relish the goodness of it as much as i can. My holiday will expire in approximately 2 and a half months more, and to those planning trips around southeast asia in this 2 months bracket, please do consider me to be in the same plane as you guys. I wanted to go to Bangkok with a friend, and it got cancelled when i found out that he had used the money he saved for the trip to pay for the downpayment of his new car. So yeah. I am alone now. And travelling by myself alone is pretty much a mouth watering possibility for me, but yeah, there will be no fun as i will always have to take pictures of my own nanti.

And I'll be buyin a new DSLR in the next few days woooot!

Cheers~

Im sorry i dont really have much time to blog since the time i came back.Im too occupied with stuffs.Giler ahh.And im busy travelling here and there. On monday i went to the US embassy for my US visa application and i kinda freaked out at one moment when there're a few of them guys get turned off from their visa application. And the American interviewer is kinda lame,askin all these stupid question like,' is ur family related to bin laden' and 'do you know how to make bombs?'.

Gosh.

But anyway,i got thru it and i just collected it again from the embassy pagi tadi. My lil bro kal is admitted to HUKM for some gastro stuffs - saket perut thinggy and i dont know whats goin on with him but i wish him well.

Ive just got back from pulau perhentian last nite. The drive alone from there back to bentong cause me a whooping 8 hours.And i was driving alone. Penat and along the way i came upon with an accident at the Temerloh R&R where a guy lost his head while trying to cross the road.

And the police were still looking for the missing head. Scary.

Masculine

I got tagged courtesy of Kishie.

Ok below are the exact words i copied from her page.So pemalas.
  1. List out five favourite links - the links can be of business sites, affiliate links or whatever that suits the blogger.
  2. Tag five more people to share their links, so hopefully, at the end of the tag, we would be able to share good links with each other.
  3. The links MUST be clean. No X-rated sites.
  4. List out only FIVE links.
  5. You MUST tell FIVE people you choose.
  6. Provide the link back to the person who tagged you.
  7. Obviously, it should be an active link.
okay if people want to share their x-rated sites also nevermind.

So here's mine.Duhhhh.

The Teddy Bear that Ran Away From The Cookie Monster

Goodmorning to all.

I know its been long since i last blogged. I wanted to but me myself prevent me myself from blogging. I really should blame me. Hmm. Anyway wish u guys are all alive and well and kicking if not sleeping away in the office.

Ive been doing lots of stuffs, i think for the last few days and err maybe weeks. Tho not all of them can be considered great, but yeah, i think i had so much fun in between. Paintball was worldddd i tell you. Last Saturday i had my already third dose of Scenario Paintball game at Tanamera. Honestly money spent is well worth it because the chance to shoot others dont come that too often.

I got shot point blank on my head. Ouch. The pain is unbearable for a few seconds. But yeah,it's fun believe me.


This is really me.


I accidentally pressed the trigger and hit the cameramen's balls.

Im so disorganized this time around. Been driving up and down from KL and Bentong for most of the time. And when im here in Bentong, the only thing i want to do is just laze around and eat. Not to mention the long hours of internet.


Makan makan besarkan perut.

The makan makan we had at Marche was great.We dont really have time to spend together that much as umm we are far far away from each other. Bafie will be posted to Saudi in the coming weeks and i just sent mama to puduraya for her bus date to kampar. Hmm. My holidays will end in approximately 2 more months. So its really great to be able to spend time together with all of the family members the way we did a couple days back.

I bought durians on saturday and all five of us sat and ate and gossipped about stuffs.

I miss sepet.

I was at our ladang kelapa sawit to watch the workers pluck (i wonder whether this is the right phrase for it) the kelape sawit a few days ago. I wanted to witness the whole kelapa sawit process thing - from the plucking phase till the phase where we earn the money for the sawits we sell, but since there were not much production that time around, i guess maybe next time will fit me well.


The hard to die cobra. Accidentally chopped into half.


Its a bit dark.Sorry.


Papa and the workers


Kecik kecik cili padi

Tottenham lifted the Carling cup last nite, stunning Cup holders Chelsea 2-1. Although i slept in front of the tele for a considerable amount of time, i still have the screams of papa to wake me up everytime any one of them are about to score goals. The past few days has really been good for my football mood with Manchester United beating the hell out of Newcastle the other day.Nice.


With the greatest lady on earth.


And the sepetest of them all

Cheers for now~

Babe Hunting.

Venue: Terrains with a lot of kerengga infested bunkers.
Time: What a waste. I didnt even have my old faithful swatch on.
Who's there: Army wannabes

And the end result was terrible pain at the tendons, and muscles. What to do in the future? You fuckin bring your fat ass on the road and start joggin to be fit, pinto.

So i tagged along Bafie and Hasrul to Tanamera paintball field at sungai buloh last saturday for my first ever paintball session. Yeah,before this no money and no time lah. Now only can. Next time also can do again. The place is huge. Lots of horses and trees. And rally cars. And kelape sawits. And rubber trees.


Locked and loaded.


WMDs


WMD, second edition.

We went on such short notice and that left me unequipped with proper gears. I frantically looked for shoes the night before and all i got was this tight Nike shoes i wore when i was form 5. The shops are all close. Bentong, what do you expect? And i was like feeling so left out upon seein other comrades fully dressed in camouflaged pants and jackets.


Gile ahhh


Prem, pinto the Communist, Hasrul

We played four scenarios there and trust me, it is extremely fun to be a part of all this. There's this rubber estate with two defunct land rovers purposely left there as a base for each side. Capture any one of the jeeps and you're game. We were like crawling and jumping and running throughout the rubber estate omg it was so fun!


Picture courtesy of Prem


Pinto ade kat belakang tu tgh duduk pakai sluar jeans Blue


Viet Chong war like battle field


Mr David and Bafie smiling

So yeah.It was great. Im goin to Tanamera again this sunday if everything goes well. Gosh cant wait!Wort every penny spent i tell you.


The whole lot that day plus a few out of the pic

Im not in the right mood to write (type) much now, im a bit tired and im havin a bit of a cold. Hopefully it would get better in days to come. Nak main tembak tembak ni.

Cheers for now okie.

The Year of The Rat

The mood has not yet kicked in for me to do great stuffs in which great means meaningful and benificial to my stay here in Malaysia for now. Im still feeling sooo lethargic and the cause of it still remains to be unknown. Im tired for nothing and that worries my cat,kechik, leading him to come in and out of my room,meowing pointlessly.

Or maybe Kechik really has something to say, like, 'Pinto kau tak mandi lagi,meow, aku letihlah bau kau macam kucing jantan rumah sebelah,meow'.

Ive been in bentong since Chinese New Year's eve, which was yesterday's yesterday. And as a Bentongian, traffic jam in bentong does ache me a lot. The Kuala Lumpur - Karak hiway was full of moving cars and the toll plaza at both Gombak and Bentong was packed. Lucky pinto is equipped with the Sentuh N Jalan card.

Yesterday, i went to Chamang waterfall with the hope of getting cool serene pictures of the place and diving in the deep lagoon just beneath the high flowing waterfall. My hopes were somehow shattered to pieces upon arriving with hundreds of cars parking all over the place except on the water. I was with my romper stomper van and that also didnt gave me any handicapped privillege, being big,bulky and all. So yeah,i had to park my vehicle on the topmost parking spot.

And it took me like 10minutes walk from the van to the river. Blerghhhh. Letih jalan panjat tangga.


See all the KLites playing with water. So childish.

Before that unproposed trip to Chamang waterfall, we did went to this Kolam Air Panas, so called because the air is panas. Duhhhhhhh. So anyway, i already brought towel and short pants and extra shirt to dive in the springs only to later realise that it was freakin 3pm in the afternoon. i forgot, this is MALAYSIA. Ish ish ish. Sengal.


i got the sepet disease from sepet herself.

I was at Sungai Buloh's hospital the other day, visiting Papa's elder brother, Uncle Patrick, who's in a coma. He's in ICU and was undergoin this dialisis thinggy when i came in. He was whizzing and gasping for air and god, its sad to see him in that condition. Papa was sad, and watchin the brother himself being sad like that, i cudnt help myself but to be sad too. It was known that uncle was suffering from diabetis and his kidneys are already gone.


Papa comforting aunty Linda while Bafie griefs.

A text message from uncle patrick's daughter came in late last night informin my dad that he's stable but still deeply in coma.

Aunty Maureen, papa's elder sister, who's fighting breast cancer, and is in GH KL, was our next stop after Sungai Buloh. And being her herself, she managed to remain in talkin and laughing mood with me snappin pics of them all.


Muke nak dekat same. Its like magic iznit.

Both of them was about 70 years old. or maybe more. Im not sure.

I did some newspaper distributing at Damansara's toll plaza last week inconjuntion of USCI's what the hell event i dont even know myself, and it lasted for like 3 hours or so. And yeah, dont ask me what USCI is. I dont know. The Star payed me some cash but yeah, i didnt do it for the money. I was so bored since she went back to school and yeah, thats about it. IM FREE IM FREE. gosh.


Paperboys. Nazrin and Pinto. We are Legend.

So yeah. Thats about it for now. I wanted to buy a new wardrobe for my room but the Chinese guys who own almost all the furniture shops in Bentong is busy with yee sang and angpaus and emm Leng Loys. Maybe tomorrow. Im getting sick with my clothes all scattered around the room.

Not to mention the boxer at the door handle. I don't freakin know macamane die pegi sane.

Cheers for now.
