Ramadhan 2011

It's that time of the year.
ramadhan.the fasting month for all muslims around the world.
i bet many can't wait for the fasting month because the fasting month indicates that the hari raya aidilfitri is fast aproaching.for kids it will be very exciting.but for the parents it might be a time to despair a bit.
because for parents it will be a time for spending.money will be steadily flowing out from the bank account.   :)

but its a once a year occasion.so it doesn't matter.
what many people will look forward to is the time for that huge family gathering.
keeping up with each other stories.
sharing each other experiences.
reminiscing old memories.
that's what its always about.

but we need to remember.
raya is also about the 1 month of fasting that we went through.
enough about raya.back to ramadhan a.k.a bulan puasa.

to me ramadhan is a challenging period.
there's so much thing we are not allowed to do.
eat and drink is obvious.
we can't pick our nose or ears.
get angry.
even to smell food is quite wrong during ramadhan.
those things we do almost everyday.
yes its a challenge.
:)

this year it will be a more challenging ramadhan for me compared to these 20 years.
because this year while fasting i will also be working.
and as for your info i'm working as a waiter.
i work with food everyday.
talk about challenging.
haha.
the smell of the food.the look of the food.
and to serve delicious foods and drinks to customer and watch them eat.
damn! that's hard!
^^ v

what's more.i will have to stand all day long even when there's no customers.
handing flyers here and there.
but that's what life is.a challenge.
ramadhan is here for us to test ourselves against those things.
so we should embrace ramadhan as willingly as we can.
by the way.for muslims it is an obligation to our religion.
so there will be no excuse.except for women.   :)

so in this coming month of ramadhan.
i wish everyone will be able to have a good fasting month.
perform the duties that we have obliged ourselves to.
i hope all of us are able to fast during this 30 days without any complications.

so,from me..

Selamat menyambut ramadhan!!

Selamat berpuasa!

peace~ ^^ v

Its a long holiday.

4 months of holiday.that is what degree students in malaysia are facing.

during the ongoing semester,many can't wait for the long awaited semester break.most of them are looking forward to their last paper and eventually going back to their home sweet home.
at the start of the heavenly holiday,all feel in tranquility and happiness.
of course.after an approximately 4 months of intense studying and assignment completing period,who wouldn't want a very long holiday.

everyone loves holiday!

in contrast.going into the 2nd month of the holiday,many of those students starts to fell bored.
many are complaining in the social networks of how they are so bored with the holiday and can't wait for the new semester to begin.
we can read things such as

"this semester break is so boring,why can't the universities start the semester now"

or

"i can't wait for the start of the semester,i wonder who our juniors will be"

or

"damn! why can't time move faster,i haven't seen my girlfriend for 2 months now"

and so much more.
well.i myself are included in this category.  ^^ v

its just that it feels funny.how we said we love the semester break before and now we are saying the opposite.
it just feels ironic isn't it?
haha.

i guess to those who are just sitting at home doing nothing,they might feel the boredom.
but guys like me who are working will feel differently.
to those who feel bored with this very long holiday can try and find a job.
instead of finishing your money you can work and increase your finance.  :)
or try to find some activities that could fill up that time.so that you don't feel like you are just wasting time.

i personally think that holiday is good.
but too much of the good things will end up being bad.
right?

cheers!

budak-budak ni

16 dan 17 Julai 2011
ini tarikh untuk gathering budak-budak ex-pdt matrik melaka batch 2008/2010.

tarikh ni dah macam tarikh keramat untuk aku sebab aku sangat tertunggu-tunggu ketibaan hari ni. kenapa?
ni lah tarikh gathering budak-budak matrik batch aku.
aku rindu gila membe-membe ex-pdt aku!
ramai jugak yang join gathering ni haritu.
sape je ek.
ade rahim,afeb,fathul,napi,syaedi,zik,black,jern,kem,balie dan juga aku.ada lah dalam 11 orang.dah boleh buat satu team bola dah.  :)

plan asalnye kitorang gerak rumah zik 16 aribulan petang macam tu lah.plan sampai dlm petang then mandi swimming pool sume malam tu pulak kitorang nak BBQ.then ahad 17 tu lepak-lepak kejap then balik lah.
patutnye 16 tu kitorang dah pegi rumah zik dah kat hartamas tu.tapi disebabkan berlaku sedikit situasi plan tu terpaksa diubah.so in the end kitorang pegi rumah zik 17 haribulan.iaitu hari ahad.

disebabkan pertukaran plan tu aku ada lah rasa sedikit kecewa sebab aku memang dah tak sabar-sabar dah nak jumpa membe-membe aku.maklumlah nak dekat setahun since last kitorang jumpa.itupun masa last day kat matrik tu.kecuali rahim lah sebab aku dah banyak kali jumpa dia.rahim rajin jenguk aku kat upm.  ^^ v

walaupun plan dah bertukar dan kitorang kena gather ahad tu,tapi aku beserta tiga rakan lain buat plan baru.kali ni aku cadangkan afeb,rahim ngan fatul datang and stay rumah aku hari sabtu tu.then ahad boleh call syaedi untuk amek kitorang kat klang ni.boleh lepak-lepak,borak ape sume.nak catch up dengan perihal membe-membe katekan. hehe.

ape yang diorang buat kat rumah aku tu tak payah cerita lah kan.kita skip terus kat cerita ahad 17 haribulan tu.   n_n

so.
pagi ahad tu syaedi sampai rumah aku dalam pukul 8 pagi.masa tu afeb sorang je yang dah bangun.aku rahim ngan fatul still tido lagi.syaedi masuk rumah aku je terus mencarut-carut.haha.penat-penat die datang awal rumah aku tapi kitorang terbongkang lagi dalam selimut.
sorry syaedi. ^^ v

mula-mula kitorang ingat nak gerak satu kereta je.naik kereta peugeot 1.8 syaedi.haha.napi decide nak ikut so kereta syaedi tak muat nak naik 6 orang.aku pun kena lah drive sekali.hehe.
afeb ngan fatul naik kereta aku and rahim ngan napi naik kereta syaedi.

kitorang bertolak nak pegi mid valley.sebab kat situ lah tempat kitorang nak jumpa the rest of the group.lepas dah jumpa then baru kitorang gerak rumah zik.

dari start je kitorang dah ada problem.actually aku lah yang ada problem.
bukan apa.syaedi bawak laju gila.dia lupa yang aku ni tak tau jalan.haha.aku boleh kejar sebenarnya tapi banyak gila kereta-kereta yang lembab block jalan aku.so aku pun tak dapat nak kejar syaedi sampai kereta dia hilang dari pandangan.

fatul pun sengal jugak.bukannye dia nak alert kereta syaedi pegi mana.dia boleh leka pulak.
aku nak bagitau yang ni bukan salah aku.tapi salah fatul sebenarnya. ^^ v

lepas tu pulak aku tersalah jalan.syaedi cakap kat aku nak guna federal highway.tapi aku masuk mana tah.mula-mula nak cari jalan untuk buat u-turn.tapi bila dah jauh sangat aku pegi kitorang terpaksa lah cakap kat group syaedi suruh diorang gerak dulu.aku afeb dan fatul pun mulalah perjalanan sendiri untuk mencari jalan ke mid valley.

tapi setelah mencuba dengan bersunggu-sungguh aku cuma mampu sampai kat kl sentral je.sampai sana aku dengan fatul cuba lah try tanya ada abang polis ni macam mana nak pegi mid valley dari kl sentral.
die terang panjang lebar dengan sangat detail.aku dengan fatul pun angguk-angguk kepala bila dia terang tu.last sekali abang tu kata

"korang jelas tak ni?"

aku ngan fatul pun kata

"jelas bang"

lepas cakap terima kasih kat abang tu kitorang pun pegi lah balik kat kereta.masuk-masuk kereta aku pun start lah untuk jalan.tapi tak jauh dari tempat kitorang tanya abang tu aku pun cakap lah kat fatul

"tul,kau ingat tak apa abang tadi tu kata? lepas ni kita kena ambik simpang mana ek?"

fatul pun jawab

"jap-jap,aku cuba ingat balik.aku rasa kita kena ambik simpang kanan tu.ha!tengok signboard tu.jalan mahameru.aku rasa yang tu lah."

so aku pun ambik simpang jalan mahameru tu.tapi tak sampai 5 minit aku dengan fatul pun rasa ragu-ragu.in the end kitorang ambik jalan patah balik pegi kl sentral.sampai-sampai je kl sentral aku dengan fatul dua-dua setuju.

"kita tak ingat lah apa abang tu cakap"

kesimpulannya bila orang tanya jelas ke tak.kita jawab jujur-jujur.kalau tak jelas tu tanya lah balik.jangan buat konfiden je. ^^ v

akhirnya kitorang decide nak tunggu syaedi datang kl sentral nak guide kitorang.masa syaedi sampai tu bukan kereta dia je yang datang.tapi ada satu lagi kereta ikut belakang dia.kereta myvi putih.bila keluar je orang dalam kereta tu kitorang pun nampak lah black,jern ngan kem.
wah~! makin ramai dah rombongan ke rumah zik ni.

dan kami pun teruskan perjalanan ke rumah zik.

sesampai kat rumah zik kitorang pun borak-borak lah.
afeb ngan sape tah pegi beli kfc.
lepas kfc sampai kitorang pun ready nak turun.

mandi swimming pool!! hehehe..

masa mandi swimming pool ni lah yang best.macam-macam kitorang buat.
lompat sana lompat sini.terjun.
fuhh! memang syok gila.
kitorang pun ada main water polo jugak.

yang penting team aku menang lah.hahahahaha.
team aku ada balie,afeb,rahim,fatul dan yang penting sekali aku lah.sebab aku yang star.tu pasal menang tu.
^^ v

kitorang habis aktiviti kat swimming pool tu dalam pukul 7 lebih.lepas naik sume kitorang pun ready-ready lah nak balik rumah masing-masing.aku memang kena balik awal lah sebab esoknya aku kerja.

bila dah balik tu aku rasa sangat puas.
dah sekian lama tak lepak dengan budak-budak tu.dapat jugak jumpa diorang.
gathering yang lepas aku tak dapat join.sebab bapak aku tak bagi.
tu yang aku dah lama tak jumpa diorang tu.

bila sampai kat rumah aku pun terfikir.
bila lagi lah nak jumpa diorang ni.
sebab nanti masing-masing dah busy.dah susah nak set masa nak buat gathering lagi.
dua tahun aku kat matrik aku jumpa diorang nak dekat tiap-tiap hari.bila dah masuk uni kitorang dah tak sama-sama lagi dah.sume dah terpisah.masing-masing dah jauh.
kena tunggu lama lagi.

aku rindu gila kat budak-budak ni.dapat jumpa sehari pun dah cukup puas.
penat tapi memang puas.

ada masa kita jumpa lagi ekk lain kali.thanx kawan-kawan!



gambar kitorang dalam air.jern ngan black takde.dorang tak masuk air.
dari kanan: aku,rahim,kem,napi,fatul,zik,syaedi,balie,afeb.
masa ni ada mat salleh amek gambar kitorang ^^

Ni sajak yang aku buat untuk persembahan subjek Penglahiran Bakat Kreatif.bukan selalu aku buat2 sajak ni.

Kawan

Kehadiranmu menyempurnakan perjalanan hidupku

Walau keruh, walau jernih

Biar semua berlalu pergi

Kau masih disini setia menanti

Memberi semangat supaya ku tersenyum lagi

Rakan

Tanpamu di sisiku

Aku hanya seorang buta

Berjalan sendiri di medan ini

Menunggu panduan penuh harapan

Agar hadir seorang untuk menemaniku

Di dunia yang sementara ini

Sahabat

Kasihmu bagaikan

Kasih ibu yang mencurah cinta dan kasih sayang

Kasihmu bagaikan

Kasih ayah yang mencurah bakti

Kasihmu bagaikan

Kasih abang yang sentiasa melindungi

Dan kasihmu bagaikan

Kasih adik yang sentiasa menyanjungi

Teman

Selain keluargaku

Kaulah yang Satu

Antara satu yang ku perlu

Tanpamu

Nerakalah hari-hariku.

amacam?
cukup kreatif tak aku ni.  ^^ v

saja je nak share.

Table 15

Chocolate Brownies Mallows.

it is the name of perhaps the most expensive drink at vivo. and superbly delicious too. 

the drink consists of ice blended chocolate.on top of it are sprayed white delicious whipped cream.and for the final touch some marshmallows are scaterred on the whipped cream.

slurrrppppppp!! mouth watering rite?   ^^v

so..
i have been working at vivo for almost 3 weeks.i have been serving food and drinks to the vivo customers quite nicely. i have not screwed up at all.

but everyone will screw up eventually. right?
i myself are in no exception.

i thought i was doing well with my work.and in one momment that thought dispersed.

i was serving the chocolate brownies mallows to a chinese couple who just entered vivo.they sat at  table 15. both of them wore white clothes and if i'm not mistaken they have just finished shopping.as i'm about to serve the drink.suddenly i felt the tray i'm holding tilted awkwardly on my palms.
and for a split second i saw the glass on the tray fell.i saw it but there was nothing i could do.
i was dumbfounded.
as the glass fell on the tray all the cold water of the ice blended chocolate splashed out onto the female customer.it got to her dress.on the table.on the floor.even on their shopping bag.it splashed all over the place.

i was white in horror.
i quickly rushed to the kitchen to get a cloth to wipe and clean the mess when i saw my manager miss minnie rushed to table 15.she saw everything! she looked shocked.

and immediately all the service staff rushed to the scene too. Naz,hidayah,wey chin,asmira was alongside miss minnie to clean up the mess.

all i could do was look from afar.

that time i was so shaken i stayed in the kitchen because i was so afraid i would be scolded by both my manager and the customers.i was so afraid i did not leave the kitchen until the two customer leave. during my exile in the kitchen my manager came and talk to me.

"macam mana boleh jatuh? habis kena baju perempuan tu.dia pakai baju putih lor."

i was so ashamed of myself.ashamed that i screwed up badly.ashamed that i did not do my job nicely.ashamed i could not serve the customers well. *sigh*
i asked miss minnie if whether i have to pay for the drink.she replied

"tak payah bayar lor.you bukan sengaja,kalau sengaja mesti bayar.tapi saya nampak itu accident punya so takpa lah.muka you pun sudah pucat punya." she said.she also added

"biasa lah.semua orang buat mistake punya.you jangan risau hah.relaks relaks."

the greatest thing about this accident is that my manager talked to me with a smile.it relieved off all the pressure.she spoked kindly to me too. thanks miss minnie!!
even the customers did not complain about the incident. fuhh!!
and all my staff friends also came to the kitchen to comfort me.tell me that its okay.i am so grateful to them.thanks guys!

it took me a while to shake myself off the feeling of fear in me.but the whole day i avoided serving drinks.i even avoided table 15. hah!  ^^v
i'm afraid i will do the same mistake again.but i feel i definitely have to bounce back.

at the end of the day.i realized that mistakes can happen to anyone.
you just have to be careful not to make such mistakes.but when it happens you should not beat yourself too much.you just have to pick yourself up and do better.learning from the mistakes you made.
peace!

Generous smile and simple 'thank you'.

at the time being i am working in a restaurant as a waiter.
in just a week working there i have met different kinds of people.customers actually.

some of them are kind.some arrogant.and there are some others who are actually rude.

there's this one time a woman with two kids came to the restaurant.i can remember she sat at the table with the number 6.that particular table was set up so that at most 8 people could sit.the woman chose to sit there with her kids at table 6.
with only 3 people she sat at the table which could afford 8 people.
there were a lot more table empty that she could choose to sit.but apparently she wants the biggest.
maybe she needs a lot of space for her big ass.   :)

me and my fellow friends don't mind if she wanted to sit there as there are few customers at the time.
but the thing that makes us pissed was because she was really rude.from the beginning she came in the restaurant we gave her a warm and a welcoming smile.but all she did was keep her face as stone as possible.
still thats fine by us.
after she ordered and we gave her the foods.she just can't stop complaining.
she said things such as

"this food should come first,this was ready made what.you just need to heat it."

"you need to learn to take orders la,its experience what.."

my god.i would have loved to burst at her that time but i remembered.

customer is always right!

the reason i was pissed at that time was because i just came in for work.i saw the food she ordered at the counter and i immediately sent it to her.then she gave me all that lecture shit.
really annoying.as if she knows how the kitchen works there.
that is just how arrogant customer behave.just because she wears nice clothes and jewelery shit she thinks she is so classy that she can say whatever she wants.


on the other hand,i met a very respectable and very classy customer.in the same day but the difference is just this customer came at night.when we were nearly closing.
ironically,this customer is also a woman with two kids.an elder girl and younger boy.
both of her kids are hyperactive.
they keep on jumping on the sofa and talking loudly.
at first i thought that this is another troublesome one that could bring disaster to me.

ohh how wrong i was!

the woman wast so soft spoken and polite.everytime she ask about the food on our menu she gave me a smile.everytime i answered she gave me a nod and then smiled again.
i was like very happy at that time.she doesn't know me but she could smile so generously.
when i came serving her food she would ask her kids to say thank you.though the kids are hyperactive they could listen and obey their mother very well.

"thank you abang!"
and take note that this customer is actually chinese.    ^^

all those smiles and thanks that i get made me very determined to give the best to them.i felt energised and could work faster.maybe all of you think i am exagerating.but if you were in my place you would understand.

it got me thinking.
what can a smile and simple thank you could do to people.

i bet a lot.
when we can give such generous smile and say those simple 'thank you'.it shows how much class we have.
rather than wear expensive clothes and act wealthy but inside you are just a rude and awful person.people won't respect you.
it will just attract hate and spite from others.

its not what you wear or what you have that makes you classy.it's how you treat others.yes.even towards waiters.maybe you want to pursue the "customer is always right" thing.but sometimes you should think about others too.no matter how high standard you are.you should remember you are also human.
don't do things to others that you don't want others to do to you.

p/s : it's hard to imagine what a generous smile and a simple 'thank you' can do.
