paip rosak



Blog owner: Its getting ridiculous. Im taking over.!

So one of the pipe at our house got broken.. water is overflowing from the pipe and i cant get bath at all (the water leakage at this side pipe prevents the water to go to the shower.. So we called a freakin plumber..

Plumber replaced the pipe with yet another basic pipe. and he said he doesnt have the same tile with him to replace.. We said it doesnt matter but give one yg cantik la.. It could be any color, blue, green, red.. but instead he brought a freakin ugly grey color tile!!! I have nothing againts grey but this one looks like as if it was dirty from white!!! W :O

Worse, he charged us a premium RM330... Like wtf :O

Me and my mum was astonished!! My mum explained that we previously called a plumb and he charged us rm80 oni.. *true story*

The plumber is getting defensive saying "no la cannot la, memang harga mcm ni punya. I change the pipe kepala for u also"

We replied "Sure but kepala pipe murah aja"..

Plumber: Ok la 280 la...

We: what?? Ok la 200 la.. budget pun 100 oni..

Plumber: tak boleh la blabla.. ok la 230 la.

We: no no bla bla bla..! OK 200! and next time we call u back (Trololol)

Plumber: ok lah.. and he left...

Ok clearly im not elaborating enough.. too busy.. going to work.. the fact that i still write this blog in itself is amazing.. ! haha k chalos

A Sleeping Beast - 05122012

I knew it! I knew me talking about my master once a day is too optimistic..!! What can I say? He is a simpleton with less exciting adventures like the one u'd normally see on TV.. Even if he have exhilarating adventures, sometimes it is just TOO private of a tale to tell... But today, he has an important exam..! So vital that his life depends on it? Will he triumph? Let us hope so, for me, this blog and his sake..

Just Another Day - 04302012

On 04302012 it is just another normal day. It is one of the day where you reflect back and said "What did I do on that day?" My owner did practically nothing! So there is nothing to write about. Talk about productivity! But ambitious me figured, there must be something, atleast something significant that he did, or experienced, or observed that day..! No. Void. Like an endless tunnel that eventually leads to a dead end. But show must go on and I shall try to extract as much detail as possible while possibly making it amusing? (I know my owner dont hv a lot of sense of humor but Bear with me.

*Morning*
Finishing on Alcatraz! The finale ending was such a shocker! :P The story is about hundreds of prison inmates and guards in Alcatraz Prison disappeared off the island in 1963, and suddenly re-popping back into the world in 2012! I love Warden James. He's a piece of work :D




*Evening*
My owner is not much of a tv fan. With the existence of the internet and "High" speed downloading, there is literally no reason to watch TV anymore. Tv shows story that mostly I do not want to watch. And even if there are stuff that I wanted to watch, the time is inconveniently set up already and I cannot watch it when it is convenient. A bummer! The only reason the tv is still there is because my owner's mum loves to watch  Korean Drama. But He can't stand it. Too slow and too many draggy unnecessary scenes. Plus the conversation can be a bit too unrealistic for live drama. Haters gonna hate :D The only "sometimes" he watch TV is when there is news. Yes every now and then he gotta update yourself with what happen to the world. But he doesnt like negative news. "Rape, robbery, murder, kidnap" although it is good to create awareness, careness, sympathy and empathy, you cant help but to feel slightly disturb by it.  He likes to focus on the goodness of life. "Achievement, new stuff, articles, viral videos, good information and tips" that is why he loves to watch yahoo news. Just open yahoo.com and you can see tons of Interesting news/videos about the world!

Like this news about an Australian billionaire who wanted to build a Titanic again. Isnt that interesting? :D 

*Night*
Dota. Hoho.. who would have thought he'd still be playing it? He was off the game for more than  a year, but really the game is just that good to stop playing. Its interactive, social, fun, and filled with drama.! :P He Wanted to watch Avenger but failed again. So Dota is a cheap entertainment alternative.

The Invited Wedding..? -04292012

Hi its me again, Buzz. I'm done with the introduction yesterday, so lets get it crackin'. Too many stuff to cover!

*Morning*
My owner was minding his own business until his brother, Rahman said that "Papa asked us to go to a wedding, we need to go to his house soon". At 10 am, he and his brothers rushed to Papa's house at Bangi. His mum was going to Kuala Klawang to visit his little sister, Huda. This is Huda's first week at the hostel in a boarding school (MRSM KK), and there are literally tons of things she forget to bring. Luckily her mum loved her too much and bring to her the things she wanted.. Upon arrival at Papa's house at Bangi, the first word he said to my owner was "Bari takde baju elok sikit ke?" Ohh wow o___O Yeah he realized he was wearing a tshirt to a wedding.. Shouldn't be a big deal imho right? But if we talk about the dewan formal wedding thingy then he is screwed :O Luckily his dad abundance of wealth (or so he thought) makes his dad have excessive cloth.. So he'd give some to my owner and his brother. Nice Save!

*Evening*
Let the Party Begin..! Eating, talking, shaking hands with the people conducting the wedding, that is what people do right? My owner's dad actually likes to talk so he let him do all the talking.. While he was using this precious time to trying to catching up to his little sisters - Basyirah, Maryam, Baica, Mahah.. Basyirah talks a LOT. And FAST! This one everybody knows.. So my owner listen to her amazing tale, some of which are:-

  1. She Got Mumtaz for Idadi (An exams where you test tauhid, feqah, tafsir, hadis, etc in sekolah Agama from Negeri Perak)
  2. She went to Pengakap camping for 3 straight camps in a few week, begging for rice at some point!
  3. She deactivate Facebook and kena baling tepung at school?
The list goes on and on. Too many random stuff spouted at my owner, and he had trouble tracking it all down. After that, he went back to his Papa's house, and his uncle and cousin (ateh) came to visit! And what is a blog without  pictures. Here are some!

Papa was talking to the Host.

Madihah eating Ice cream back home. Isn't she cute? ^^

This is where the wedding Persandingan took place. kelas Ko maria.. :D

A close up

Dgn Basyira.. She liked to talk, and my owner liked to hear.. Quite the combo :P

Baica.. What a character! This picture, gmbr when she was upset. Apparently she was tired and wanna go back home..  Its only been an hour. Heh mcm2 ragam budak2..

Naim, playful as ever. "What is this thing, tempat buat sambal belacan ek".. Haiz  my owner also dont know what it is. Seemed like an unnecessary tool anyway.

With my 4th sister, Maryam. Its hard to take a picture with her, but apparently she give in to my owner pesterings :)

Tak sempat tangkap gmbr Ateh. But that is her car, moving out from Papa's house.  


 *Night*
My owner's cousin asked him to play futsal. He refused stating it is not his niche! He felt kinda bad that he doesnt really belong in that active and famous sport. He tried it before and it was miserable. Lesson learned: Dont force to like or do something you dont like! It sucks the life out of you!

But what is life without different kind of people right? There are majority of ppl who play soccer, and minority people who dont... Apparently im that minority :/

I am the Master of my own Blog -04282012

*Sigh..* Well hello hello hello! It seems that my owner have long forgotten my existence. Not that anybody actually read me. But I feel like I am of somewhat importance to my owner. My destiny cannot end here! IT CANT! But fear not. As I have acquired an amazing ability! The long forsaken me was forced to adapt in learning how to write myself! Yes! People said that "The blog aint gonna write itself." Well this blog does! heh :)

First, my new born consciousness needed a name. Everybody does, don't they? Pokok Lalu is not my name! It is not glamorous! But I dont need  a long name like my owner. It'll be short. Hence my name will be Broad Bristle Back Blazzin Buzzin BrandyBuck! Ok I lied :P I cant help but create a tedious tongue twister name for me! My owner like the letter "B". Obviously because it is his initial. But there is more to that. My owner is modest. "B" signifies that it is the second where "A" is the first. Even though the owner become number 1 at some point, he is always down-to-earth thinking that there is always room for improvement. Owh and he is the 2nd from 7 siblings :) Ok so you hate my name. Whatever! I name what I want :D But if its hard for you, you can call me Buzz. Cool eh? :D

So I'll write about my owner in a daily basis. Ambitious me! As mundane as his life is, I live to serve him and serve him I shall! Even when he abandoned me, my loyalty for him will NEVER waver. Touching isn't it? Stop praising me, you'll make me blush ^__^

So on April 28th 2012  (Saturday) what does my owner, Bari, was doing?

*Morning*
SLEEP as if kena tido by atropos (dota joke)
First of all, he wake up late. at about 1pm! Gee, he needs to be more disciplined! And probably have an ACTUAL alarm clock instead of the phone alarm. But if I know my owner well, he'll never buy it. He's cheap :P

*Evening*
Turns out lately he is involved in a new game called Triple Town. http://www.tripletown.com/ It is too addicting and it is consuming his soul :( Though now his interest for that game is slowed a bit after he builds a floating castle (the second hardest structure to build in the game). TRY AT YOUR OWN RISK! Cold turkey wont do though :P
He also watched the Tourist at home with his little brother Rahim. Fun! Angelina Jolie is beautiful and elegant!

*Night*
He was angry at his best friend and cousin. He wanted to watch the movie Avenger at JJ Cheras Selatan. But the cousin did not inform him that he was unavailable until the last minute. He was frustrated but plan as he may, in the end nature will take it course by God's willing. Instead he just played games (dota, triple town) watched the drama series Alcatraz that he downloaded. He loved the warden of Alcatraz.!

Choices

Indubitably, everything we do in life comes with choices. Some are easy while some are hard.

"Should I stay or should I go shopping today?"
"Should I take Engineering or Computer Science?"
"Should I buy an Iphone 4S, or Samsung Galaxy S2?"

Nevertheless, sometimes we regret doing things that we shouldn't have. Watching "Big Bang Theory" yesterday, Leonard quote out something interesting "People regret NOT doing things more than they regret doing it".

It is ok to try something new that we do not know whether its good or bad, at least then we know and would be able to reflect on it. Being at 23 already, there are lot of things that I regret not doing.

Now I hv opened up a bit, and trying to accept more things o__O

Ok Dah hilang point. Senanye nak ckp Khamis ni ade interview for CIMB Banker Programme and I am freaking out D:

Allah, grant give me the courage to pass through this obstacles! What I would kill for a bank job o__O

A penny for my thoughts


I cant believe I've work as programmer for 2 month already!! At first I kinda hate the fact that I hv to sit in front of the computer at all times to do work.. But actually it wasnt all that bad. I can move around for a bit and take a short break if I feel like my eyes is starting to hurt. Plus, my colleagues are awesome o____O

I'm still considering other jobs, but if I can't find anything better, I guess I'll stick around first for a year and see where it leads me.

A lot of my friend is getting married,, And I dnt hv anyone yet.. Should I be worried? o___O No but yet but no but yes?

I know its been months after I graduated. But I cant help but to be relieved that I actually did finish my degree. It was tough there believe me!! There isnt many malay at U of R that I Have to work extra hard and being independent. Luckily I have Hoang, and my supportive housemates which I MISS so much T___T

Relief!

I know some of my friends even have to repay back MARA hundred of thousands ringgit becoz they failed to perform at the United States. Most of my colleagues owe the PTPTN..

Its good to be ambitious and always looking forward, but just don't forget that there are unfortunate souls behind us out there, that we should all be thankful to what we have today! Peace!! ^__^

Take Care of Yourself


I am sure everyone of us have been told by friends and family alike "Take Care of Yourself". It comes in billions of forms such as "Jaga diri bebaik, TC, Watch out, ETC".. The term is so general that I sometimes wonder, what does it all even mean?

Sorry, being a thinker, I like to think about a lot of things, even simple things like this.. I haven't put much thought into this word until quite recently.. Ok so I guess we all have our set of definition and understanding, but being in the informational age and all, let see what google has to offer o_O

*Googled and the first link gives me out to this Yahoo ask*

Asker:

What does "take care of yourself" mean?

When someone leaves and that person says, "Take care of yourself, good-bye" what does that mean?

Does that mean... "be careful in the meantime?"


Thanks and will choose most helpful answer.

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker

I think that's exactly what it means...be careful, don't get into trouble/arrested/killed, I'd like to see you again or I wish the best for you so please try and do your best so that I will see you again...


But I like the answer that this girl give:

I think it basically means to eat healthy, and live healthily so u dont get sick from neglecting ur needs or health. And also the obvious things like not to do anything potentially dangerous, that would all be encompassed in the saying.

In my case, when I were giving this word, I feel like there are many things that NEEDS TO BE TAKEN CARE OF! SELF is a pretty big word. Anything that we are, physically and mentally, and anything we do or associate with can be apart of that SELF. Does this guy/girl really expect me to take care of this myriad stuff?

E.G.

-health, beauty, finance, friendship, mind, religion, time management, relationship, study, work, IQ, EQ, community, home, cleanliness, fitness, sports, happiness, mode, ethics dsb..
And even if that's it, do they ask us to just take care (MAINTAIN CARE) or to to take BETTER care of that particular SELF?

If the latter, then how thoughtful of them!!!

So whenever I were given this, I always think about what I am currently and how I could take better care of that SELF. Hrmmm..

So guys, Take care of yourself. And I mean: Take BETTER care of your
health, beauty, finance, friendship, mind, religion, time management, relationship, study, work, IQ, EQ, community, home, cleanliness, fitness, sports, happiness, mode, ethics (and a 1001 other attributes) haha :D

Food for thought. Sorry if dont understand. Not quite good at explaining though I am aiming to become a Lecturer o___O Myb one day...

Ready to work

Dear Blog,

Oh ur still alive and running?
For a moment there I thought I never found u again.. College graduation marks a new stage in my life. Work!

It has been slightly worrisome month. After I came back to Malaysia 3 months ago, so many questions about work were asked by peers and families alike.

"Dah keje belom?" was the default question to go to.

Months I've been given excuses like "tunggu lepas raya", "nak relek dulu". "Nak jmpe member2"..

Now finally I have a job :D

As a software developer at ATQMultimedia.. The pay is no much but that'll do for now. Plus I got to make new awesome friends!! *like*

Ok its 740 u hv to go to work.. Lambat nnt jem T__T

Trip to home



Its a very long flight!!!!

I started off alone from ROC and on Chicago o'haire airport.. The terminal change was very far from my arrival gate.. I made there on time n boarded to la... Me alone in the big LAX airport.. As i going outside, i realised my bag was a bit thin... I checked n OMG i left my laptop on the american airline carrier!!!

I ran towards the kastam but they wont let me through.. Said i need a boarding pass.. I tell her my situation and she advised me to contact AA employees... They are a lot of em.. But when asked, they can only say " ask the supervisor"... Pffft ... I finally found the said supervisor and OMG, it looks like she already hv a handful herself!! idk.. To ask or not to ask... As she was busy withva group of tourist checkin, i act worrysome while raising my hand... She saw but ignored me... I stood there, silenced...

After a couple of minutes, she muttered "what do u need?" ... Thank god.. I explained like my laptop life depends on it, she began to make some phonecalls... Making an indifference face, she said "we found it"... Wait here.. A relief, felt from my inside out... I waited, yes... It took so long but i dnt care... Its worth it as my next flight to malaysia is in 6 hours.. I smiled :)

3 guys pretending to be on a wheelchair, picking up girls.. :D

Clearly im bored

Friday, June 3

Midwest was a blast! I cannot believe that I get to meet a lot of people, my friends especially after 3-4 years... For the most part, they seem just like how I remembered them. Well, khai was a little thinner (good for him)... Time moved so fast... But its nice that we all have something in common to talk about:

"Kau balek Malaysia bile?"
"Ape plan lepas balek Malaysia?"
"Pergi mane2 ke balek Malaysia lambat/awal ni?"

I cannot believe that I will be leaving the United states in 3 more weeks. 4 years feels so long yet so short! I wonder what lies ahead in my future, hopefully I can find a decent job. It seems that I'm in that age where a lot of people are either working, doing master or phd or getting married! I'm happy for them and I hope I could come to people's wedding and look at their happy faces :D
Especially when I'm unemployed and dont know what to do back home :p


Every journey comes to an end. I feel joyful and satisfied with a slight regret. I learned and explored new things, good and bad. Hope every experience I gained here can put me on the next level, making me become all the better, faster, stronger xD

Wednesday, May 11

I cannot believe I'm graduating this weekend. Time sure flies. What am I going to do after this? What will I work as? There are so many unanswered questions that keep on bugging me. Maybe I do not have to worry about this yet. I hope I can make up something good with my future. :)

In addition to that, I want to take everybody for being there with me through out this whole 4 years. Especially to my housemates, Asip, Mior, Jiji, Joe, Ray..

XOXO

Smart Consumer

Everybody desire something in their life. Coming from an average class family, is hard to get my hands on anything. The thing is, it is only natural for parents to be selective of what stuff they be giving to their children because childrens needs can sometimes be exaggerated and pretty much unnecessary.

A typical conversation you could see in shopping malls:
Son:"Mommy, I want that toy!"
Mother:"No no, you cant have that now. We will get that later" (an obvious lie that works againts little kid)....

Coming to US, I am thankful for the monthly allowance we received. Suddenly, there are lot of stuff that I can afford to buy. But the thing is, I can sometimes be a bad consumer. I would buy stuff that I think I want, but in the end, the stuff was just lie there, unused. LoL..


So I guess it is important to note that whenever u wanted to buy stuff, ask urself "Do I really need this right now and the foreseeable future?"

New Phyrexia

The Magic the Gathering New Set prerelease is going out soon! I have my eyes on lot of interesting rare cards, but let be realistic here, what are the odds of me opening a sweet rare? They dont call it "rare cards" for no reason. So instead I'm going to watch my eyes on "cool" commons cards that will commonly be in my card pool and hopefully my pre-release deck!



A 3/1 first strike for 2 and 2 life? The nut beatdown! (Hopefully not fighting againts instill infection)



A better upgrade from instill infection most of the time!



Do I smell 2 for ones????


Cant wait to play them next saturday. ^_^

Cinemagraphs

As I was looking through awesome pictures people have posted, I found this amazing photographs using animated GIF called cinemagraphs. This technique was known from a NYC photographer Jamie Beck and her husband. They describe it as "more than a photo but not quite the video"

Photobucket

Photobucket

This thing looks awesome but also looks like "A lot of work" :p

Sporcle

Apparently my friend introduced me to this website called Sporcle. It is a website where you got to answer a bunch of fun quizzes. There is one about Malaysia which is interesting.

How much do you know about Malaysia? Give this a try :

Country Malaysia
