Orphanage: Rumah Tunas Sinar Harapan Seri Menanti

I have just participated in the Legenda Education Group latest event which is the Charity Programme. The activities that have been lined up is for this noble effort is...... doing charitable things of course.... You know...

One of those charitable work that i am really damn excited about is visiting the orphanage and the special kids home. I have long awaited for this since I've entered the college. I felt really sad as it have been a long time since I ever volunteered to do this kinda stuff.

Where is Rumah Tunas Sinar Harapan Seri Menanti?

Well actually I don't remember it pretty well. From what i know, the place is located in Kuala Pilah. I've tried to find some information about that place in google but unfortunately I couldn't find any good websites related to the place.

Some procedures might be needed..

Arriving at the orphanage

We are welcomed by a couple of small kids and an old makcik who might be one of the staff working there. Everybody was roundup as our very own Amy gives us a short brief about minding our attitude there.
Don't ask questions that would disturb their feelings, bla bla bla...
To shorten it all is... Don't be stupid...

Ice breaking

Then we have ice breaking... I teamed up with this guys... The SAMPAT CREW!!... SAMPAT?
Sounds like something delicious to eat right..


The boy besides me is called Fami (blue shirt) . I really liked this boy because we share the same passion. Yeah, the passion of drawing.
He said to me at the end of the day that his artwork will be introduced in a TV show.
Which one I don't know...
i guess i have to just watch all the tv show...
i really wanted to contact this boy but I don't have a cellphone right now.. eish...

Poncho poncho dance..


i thought i will never do this again after the National Service. At least the kids are having fun though... Our team sucks at doing this... hahahaha

Harta Qarun: Finding the hidden treasure..

Another weird game... I hope nobody gonna use the leftover flour to bake a cake...



Balloon War
The rule of this game is simple, pop the balloon and you're OUT!

3 seconds after the game start and POOOOOOOPS... I'm out...
The guy besides me is the culprit... after he looks at my mafia face then he just succumbed under my strong hands... hahahaha.. just kidding...


The poisoned chair.. Is this the name of the game?


The game where you have to start moving when the music started and sit when the music ends. The one who don't get the seat would loose. This will continue until we find out who have the last seat. Wow, i wrote about this like you guys don't know about this game... werr...

The group presentation

Now I know what I have to do this small kid. I am gonna let him be the cat...


once upon a time there was this three friends called Ali, Along and Alang. They formed up a team that was called LALANG. The Lalang gangsters than wanted to play, so they played a game of Lat tali lat tali PELAMPONG. As they were playing, they heard a horrendous sound.


"Meaw" they heard.
They were horrified to see a cat wearing a green t-shirt is stucked on a very high tree that wears a red blue shirt.
So they asked the chainsaw man to cut up the tree....

The chainsaw man than turned on his wooden chainsaw and cut up the trees like we never gonna saw in the movie called "the Chainsaw massaccre"
"Poops!! " the cat went down... Killing the innocent tree...

THE END

Look at all the critics gonna say...

Pisang Emas

Oh we are so pumped up!

But not pumped enough! Look at this kid who have been influenced by watching WWE too much.


The ending Ceremony

Guess you guys waited for my tears to come out right.. Well guess not! Though this is our face after the winner were announced!

HAHAHA! just kidding!
Everyone wins!
I wonder what am I looking at this time. Don't come to any weird assumptions..

Moral:

Our beloved Rasulullah SAW said

"Do not belittle even the smallest act of kindness, even if it were no more than meeting your brother with a smiling and cheerful face" (Muslim)

Even a smile...
Even a smile...
Isn't it so simple to be kind...

But yet we always avoid this simple opportunity everytime...
Think yourselves...

NEXT post would be about the visit to the special kids home

The Secret Hot Spring: The story behind the death of one of my best friend

The secret Hot Spring

At first, I actually wanted to share with you guys a place where you can soak your feet in a very good Hot Spring. However, after some deep consideration. I decided that I'll have to keep the location secret. This place is quite isolated and actually placed at a private land, because of that this place would not have that many crowds like a normally comercialised hot springs in Malaysia. Maybe only the locals would come to the springs to enjoys themselves. I am scared that if I tell this to the wrong people, they will get their hands on that place and might deter the uniqueness of that natural fountain.


The Road

The road is actually quite rough to get there, the best way to get there is by motorbike where me and a friend of mine used an abandoned road where a handful of people would use. This would be my second time coming to this place.

The atmosphere

Hahaha... It is not as luxurious like the Hot Spring in Sungai Klah at Perak. The place looked abandoned and old, try imagining a hot spring that was found in the time where the English people roamed Tanah Melayu.
It's quite an antique..
What bother's me is there is a lot of garbage we found around the area. Created by the littering caused by people who are stupid and irresponsibe.
That is why I don't wanna tell this to just anyone.
When can people change this unforgivable attitude.

What Happen to my Best Friend?


Yeah, my companion who were always besides me almost all the time...
She was with me for almost three years now...
i shouldn't have bring her with me to the hot spring...
I should have known that you cannot withstand the heat...

Why am I so stupid...
You are the one who gave all the good and bad memories...
You take pictures for me to remember...
You are the one part who bring images to the Naqiubex Sides of Life

Yes you are my companion...
I cannot use you..
until I fix you...
My cellphone W810 Walkman...

Yes... she is toasted because of this...

The time when I thought I can save her, It was already too late..
The hot water that gets inside her body just becomes vapor thus effecting the circuits inside it...

Moral: take good care of your cellpohone while you are in the hot spring.

The first novel I finished: Bagaikan Puteri

i love reading but I don't read novels...
That was me...
Now I have just finished my first novel evah....

This is the one, Bagaikan Puteri by Ramlee Awang Mursheed...


Unfortunately, I have some really bad comments about this novel. It makes me really dissapointed as my friend recommended this book saying it was so good.
Yeah right...
I hope nobody gonna get offended except the author.

The bad comments

First of all, I don't like the love story in this book. Not that I am a very macho man that I hate love stories but apparently I am not. I totally love LOVE STORIES but not this one... The whole love scene between the laksaman sunan with haryani and DAni with haryani make me sick. i don't think Haryani potrays a woman who supposed to be like a princess at all but then laksamana Sunan loves her. Plus, Dani just so in love with Haryani like a madman... but... the novel is like saying that his love for her is sacred.. Cinta Pandang pertama... NOT...

Second, i hate Dani. Everytime when its turn to read the part where he is in. i just felt like don't want to read it anymore. All he thinks is about Haryani like a psycho.

Third and last, well the other parts about this novel is good. The thing that is missing is the beauty of the Malay words to be used in this novel. There weren't words that are captivating and interesting ro be read..

The good comments

The novels tries to fit in the real tragedies that have happen to our lives like the Tsunami incident in 25/12/200? and the famous ragut incident involving a death of a young woman. Cool hah!

The ending is quite great, urging us to read the follow up of this series which is "Cinta sang Ratu".

I am rating this novel.............................
Though this is the first novel i finished, this is not the first novel I read... ok!

The second novel that i am reading now is 'the Davinci's code' by dan Brown. Hope it will turn out great.

Moral: You read books but don't forget to read the Quran...

Two big things going down...

In the earlier post, i have mentioned about two big things that is going to happen on friday. First it is about my important test and and second is about the friday prayer. Eventually both matter didn't even occured that friday. I am somewhat relieved as it never happened.

The Engineering Math Big test
I know i am actually not ready to take the test...
I was so scared that I am going to flunked the test as well...
Miraculously, the lecturer pushed our test to next week. I was very glad and hope that I will use this time to study.

The Friday prayer
As some people expected, the friday prayer is not going to happen that day. All of this was because lack of preparation and inside issues. The decision to make the friday prayer that was too hasty and basically there was no appropriate plan to carry out the activity.

Oh well, at least there was busses ready to get the student to the mosque. I hope that this incident will be a lesson for the STAD. Next time, hope they will try to get cooperation from different societies like PMI and MPP in order for the activity to be done smoothly.

Don't decide on last minute on who gonna be the Khatib again please...

Big stuff on Friday!!

There is TWO BIG THING that is going to happen this friday.

The first big thing is I have to take the Engineering Mathematics test tomorrow, if I failed this one. Means that I have to take the subject again for this semester. Looking at the score I got I've been thinking to take the subject again. I am targetting to get Distinction in the subject because the subject is actually an easy subject to score. But because of my mistakes last semester, I couldn't score the subject and unfortunately flunked the quiz big time.

I have to pass this exam so that I will have a comfort zone for me in case something happened this semester when I am taking the subject again. I can finish this semester with at least I passed the subject. Engineering maths is like one the most important subjects Mechanical Engineering. As universities will look at your score of this subject before considering you to be their student.

The Second Big big thing is that Legenda Education Group is going to hold its first Jumaat prayer, it is going to take place at the Surau located inside the college vicinity. I was pretty excited at first to see how is this going take place.

Normally, the college will provide buses for students as a transportation to go to the nearby mosque whether it is Mantin or Gebok. Due to the increasing intake of students, transportation by bus is no longer relevant (there are maybe about 2000+ of muslim students in the college). Plus, the college buses always broke down and frequently used for other purposes.

There is some issues with the MAINS (Majlis Agama Islam NS) about this whole Friday prayer. But I don't think that it appropriate for me to discuss this issue. The thing that bothers me is about the Katib, who is going to give sermon on the Legenda's first ever Friday Prayer. I was told that it was supposed to be Mr K... We have sat together and discussed each other about this and I thought there wont be a problem. But this morning I was called by Kak Nit which is the Students affair department Officer ask me to be the Katib...
I said " What!? Wasn't it supposed to be Mr K".

There seems to be some issues involving them that i'd rather not discuss it here...

Now I am in a tight pinch because it seems rather late telling me about this thing and I have to be fully ready for my important exam tomorrow.. I hope that the two most important body in this college which is PMI and MPP could solve this problem ASAP.

No sketch today as I am very busy...

HPA workshop: Perkongsian Bijak Cemerlang

I have mentioned before that i have attended a workshop held by HPA. You guys might wander what is HPA and PBC... Well I'm gonna give you guys some hints.
Radix Cafe...
Radix secawan....
Yup, that famous coffee advertisement with the white guy drinking Radic cafe...

What is HPA?
HPA stands for Herba Perubatan Al Wahida. Where its main objective is to promote traditional herbs as an alternative choice of medication to the people, not just provides a healthy wellbeing but also to allow people to achieve prosperity in life. Click here to know more about HPA.
What I like about HPA is that the products are made in conditions that are totally clean and HALAL...
As a student that studies Mechanical Engineering, Standards have always been the one of the top priority for any company. HPA have achieved and maintained a standard that is called Good Manufacturing Practice standards or GMP which means to us engineers as WOW!!

To achieve GMP standards means that you have to wear like this all the time in the factory....

What is PBC?
PBC stands for Perkongsian Bijak Cemerlang, a programme that is conducted by HPA to give a good insight on what is HPA is all about.

9.15 am
Arrived at Residence Hotel @ UNITEN... I thought at first that we are going to stay at some college hostels but I was wrong. Glad the food was damn good...

Ice breaking 10 am
There are maybe about 80 people who have attended the workshop, many of them are older than me and some of them have already reached the age of 80. This might be the first time I have joined a workshop that consist of all group of ages.. No kids though...
As usual in an ice breaking session, we were divided into groups where each groups will be given tasks to complete to make the activity more fun.
Huwahh... maybe i've grew tired of this kind of activity... hmmm.. taaruf first than bla bla bla....

1st module: Introduction to HPA 11 am
Skip this, you can go to their website to know more about HPA..

2nd module: Marketing
What!? they have this kind of thing!? Why don't anyone told me about this earlier....
The thing that is why HPA products is so rare in shops......
Why they do that....
It's all to preserve the authencity of the Islamic products....How?
If i want to explain it here than it would take a lot of typing... so if you wanna know...
check the HPA website again or find someone who have gone to PBC...

3rd module: HPA products
Their products is not just about health supplement, there are varieties of products in HPA which includes household products like cleaners and air freshners, cosmetics products, foods products like organic rice, organic chicken and satay, agriculture products like pesticides, other products like baby diapers or adult diapers, homestays, hotels, and a lot more.

I wanna share a product that really interest me, it is 'Penghindar Serangga Jasmin'.
A usual pesticides would use chemical substance that is poisonous. This substance kills the pest but also effects the crop making the food lethal to our body. However, the pesticides that were made by HPA could do the same job of preserving the crops without any killing and poisoning. The jasmin pesticides uses organic substance that would scared off all the insects going near the crop..
That special ingridients is actually a secret... Just kidding..
well actually i forgot about that special herb... serai or something... hahahaha
This product would not just keeps the pest away but also provides more nutricion to the crop..
Sorry.. no picture though...

Group activity 5pm
They give us 3 mahjong paper and gave us some questions, in that question, they ask us to do some presentation and some acting. I supposed to do a presentation about the rankings in HPA but due to some difficulties I have to talk about the marketing strategy for the presentation the next day. practically, our team was horribble...
keh keh keh...
but we have a goooood time together....
We have to give the presentation in the final module that were held the next day...

Night activity 9pm
I don't really remember what i've done that night, I skipped some of the module to go relax in my room. Not that the module is boring... It is because... err... i have my reasons... hahahaha...


Eventhough I have the chance to sleep early that night, i couldn't sleep well that day...
This always happen to me on the first night of sleeping anywhere....

Qiamullail 4.30 am
We started the next day with some supplement of faith.. What is the meaning of living in this world without Allah SWT grace.

Morning Sermon 6.30 am
Yay, the tazkirah that is presented by ustaz is very interesting. He tells us the importance of finding the HALAL. It is not to just find it... but also to provide it...
It felt like the time just flew away without we even noticing...

A bit of morning exercize.. 8 am
It is not a very common sight in Malaysia to see old people wearing Jubah doing this together in the early morning...


6th Module :Diagnosing and medication 10am
Maybe this is the best part of the workshop, we learn how to identify sickness on someone just by looking their hand. Cool right....


The hand will show patterns as an example, a clear red at the end of each fingertips means that you have a high cholestrol level in your body... supported by the reddish colour on the palm of your hand.
The shape of your thumbnails can determine whether you have intestine problem or not.
Its made us look like a Tabib...

Presentation 4pm
As i mentioned earlier that we have to do a presentation and an acting, we did almost everything in the last minute of the session. When we are at the stage, everyone ideas than just spurts out making the the whole presentation takes about 20 minutes!!!
HAhhaaahha.. Of course we lose..
I don't really mind about that cause this is just for fun afterall

Bye bye 5pm sumthin
Overall, i think the whole experience is a blast...
Id say congratulation to HPA to make such a programme so that we can understand the importance of Muslim and Islamic products. Nowadays we are devastated with products that we didn't even know of its HALAL status.
HPA not just provides an alternative for people to get a HALAL products. But also gave us an alternative in tackling the ever expanding brands that supports ISRAEL in their war againts Palestine...
This is one of the way to help those who have sufferred in the war..
We can do this by crushing their economy and help expand our own...

Quality products, suitable prize, Halal, Made in Malaysia..

Latest Artwork: Welcome to my life

The latest work that I've done, i did this in about 3 hours maybe... A lot I have learned from this one because this is where I used layering as much as I can. Though there is lot of topsy turby.. I think the final results is satisfying.

Please comment... I don't mind any type of critiques...
____________________________________________________________________

Notes for today

• I've already got my brand new matric card, the new picture makes me look like a mafia... hahahhaha. There are many things happened in my life because of this matric card. First, I got on a bad start with Mr Ratna which is the new security. I also have lodge a report on him for some issues... hehehe... But now.. him and I finally reached an understanding and now we were able to communicate with each other without any problem... The picture makes me look black though........
• Istiwa A'azam.... me and my friends have become astrologers yesterday due to Istiwa A'azam phenomenon. It was actually the time where the sun is directly on top of the Qa'ba. So in the July 16th, 5.36pm. We managed to pin point the direction of Qa'ba or Kiblat pretty fine...
• Tomorrow is HPA workshop, i am gonna be away for two days... can't wait whats await me there.... oh..... the food and especially the chicken.... nyam nyam nyam....
  

Old favourite Soda..

My matric card is still not ready yet? Hahahaha... looks like there might be a showdown waiting with the security guards tomorrow...

I just accidentally broke my mirror... 7 years bad luck?! What a crap! Khurafat betul... The only bad luck you have bcoz of breaking a mirror is that you have to replace a new mirror...
___________________________________________________________________

Do you guys still remember the old soda bottle that we always call Menet, long Chan and all...
Don't you just love their taste, pretty much different from new soft drink that entered the local Malaysian market that goes by brands like F&N, Coca Cola, Radix cola...
Though radix cola tasted great actually... You should try it..


Well we can still found some of those old brands of softdrink like this one in the picture. The taste is still same as like in the old days but this is not my favourite though.



Unfortunately, brands like once we called 'Menet' is hard to be find or maybe already obsolete. Or maybe they have changed their names to be something else. I practically don't remember it very well but I think Menet is actually Lemonade.. hehe.. Still small that time...

If you guys know about this than tell me yeah...

Moral: Soft drink is bad for health...

Bye bye Money...

In the beginning of this semester, I am just bombarded with a lot of financial problem!! Not like any other semester studies that I have gone through... This is actually my final and last semester for my HND programme here in Legenda!!

What I need now is a lot of money to support my upcoming project..... Me and my team will have to make a MACHINE! We have done with the design in the last semester and now we just need to fabricate it...
I am not goin to tell what we are goin to make though...
wait till we finish the machine... hahaha

Anyway, the overall cost for the proposed design is about........... RM3000... or more... or less....

RM3000!!! I'll need to discuss that with my father when he comeback from oversesas....
____________________________________________________________________

That is about the project... the other financial problem that I face have something to do with my MATRIC CARD!!
My damn MATRIC Card is malfunctioning! It cannot be scanned anymore!!
I was really pissed about this because my card is pretty well intact and look gorgeously fine but unfortunately.... it is not functioning anymore...

Theres a catch, the cost for a new Metric Card............................................ is RM50

What!? RM50!!! But its not my fault that the card is broken.. It is because the life span of the card is suck!

I am in the final semester and I thought that spending RM50 is not a good investment... I thought that I would just play dumb and going passed the security without scanning my card...
My plan spoiled as the college hire a new Security Officer called Mr Rana... It became a problem because he is still new.... plus that the security is tighter to see whether the student has registered or not..

Because of that, like it or not... I have to pay RM 50... Where is the President when I need him!!

Why is the time when I need the voice of the Student Council.. I am not the President anymore...
Arghhh!!!!!!



Moral : Carefully spend your money...........

Fight! fight! fight! : Petaling Street

Image by teddY-riseD via Flickr

What do you expect from a 10 minutes work... laziness grips me da... Here i've got some pic of people fighting at Petaling Street for your eyeview..
Pertaling Street..
Not just famous for its pirates products.. but also for its pirates attitude!!

Fight no 1 : 'Chota' vs bald guy



I took this pic when I was strolling down at Petaling Street... This people with radios on them caught this guy after I saw a couple of School boys being chased by people called 'chota'...

'Chota'? Correct me if I mispelled it..


This second pic shows a couple of guys laugh after he smack the bald guys head. Its actually a cheap shot...He smack that bald guy head from the back.. What is there to be impressed for..

Fight No 2: Motorcyclist vs taxi passenger

Then a couple of steps away from the scene I saw and took this pic...
The guy in the taxi opened the door without knowing that its gonna hit the motorcyclist. The motorcycle fell and made the owner furious. So the motorcycle owner went to him and give him a couple of smudge in the face.


Fight fight fight... When its goin to stop? sheessh!

Moral: I know sometime when we are pissed off with somebody.. It feels really good to be able to hit him in the face.. But eventually that will be it..
Fighting for something nonsense with each other will only lead to anger, hatred , sorrow..
makes the devil laughs thousand times..
