SHAH-AZZ, INCORPORATED

I think…I want to make a specific entry on this point someday later…so tunggulah kemunculannye ekk..

I couldn’t remember when was the last time I had an accident, or if I even had an accident…probably because if I had an accident and get knocked, I might have memory lost so I could not remember the accident (back to the start)…Em let’s see..When I was a Standard 5 pupil at Kedah, I remembered that abah gave me the chance to ride the C70 bike…this was after a Friday prayer when abah rode until we reached our residence area but not yet our home…then abah asked me to try and ride it till we reach our home, with him being the co-rider (ape pembonceng omputeh cakap ape ek)…it was only 500m away, and only 1 junction to turn to…since I was nervous, I pressed (twisted) the accelerator too much, so it made a sudden jump so I was out of control…it only took 3 seconds for me and abah to fall down, and with the hot exhaust of the bike pressed on our skin and swelled it..Of course, I made another (successful) attempt and we reached home…with a broken lamp signal and that swelling skin to show to mama…the following week was my LAST ever motor ride (this time, I didn’t fall, although my feet was a bit short on the brakes so I hit our home gate), until now..

Ehem, based on this story, there was no real accident involved…We just fell down, that’s all :p

I’ve already an entry regarding this point. Actually, two, here and here…But to sum up, yes, I’ve just acquired the proper P card this year on April….Although I passed my car test with my only 1 attempt last year, I never get to hold the card as I had to complete the motorcycle test as well…man, I hate riding a bike, and I took it for the sake of having it (alang-alang bagi ade jelar)…although, I did rode Mior’s bike within our area, and also from our rent house to UTHM…that was about 3km, and the furthest ever distance I’ve been on a bike! I failed the test early this year (that blasted concrete plank!) so I had to burn some more money for the retest (and also to extend my L card deadline)…I thought I barely got the 7 second minimum plank test that time…the rest was a breeze…

But then again, I’ve actually got hold my P card on August! I asked my tutor to send it to me but I do not know why it took her so long…I even twice went to BP to get it myself but she ‘wasn’t around’...which means, for 4 freaking months I was still immobile!

Still, after August, I am yet to drive a car or ride a bike until now…I think I’ve already forgot the step.. :p Oh well, there’s always public transportation available…

The explanation is same as above….

Oklerr, I think I have to change my perception on bike after this…As you know, I am currently working at Shah Alam and it took me about RM11 max daily for my public transport fare between my home and working place, back and forth…the least I could spend a day is RM3, that is, only if I want to get there really late…RM5 is average…RM11 = 3 time meals at Parit Raja…what a waste…We have 4 bike at our home, and I only need to ride just one..Is that really hard enough?

I do not considered myself among the same league as Usain Bolt, Michael Phelps, Rafael Nadal or even Datuk Lee Chong Wei…but I think I am a very healthy young lad who walks anytime, anywhere…especially during my GRB days…walking for 3 km in the middle of the sun is normal for me (6 km back and forth)…I also walked home from Equine Park since that is the last bus stop of both Metrobus and RapidKL…Of course, with the help of some cool, isotonic, non-melamine drink, I could walk even further, like, from Puduraya to KLCC…So, I think I’m quite an athletic person, mind you…

UPDATE: Actually, I think the farthest was from Stsn Pasar Seni to KLCC...Anyway, I think I'll let you know the list of the major roads in KL that my feet has stepped on its asphalt (excluding any small path and minor roads), and this may not be comprehensive:

I joined cricket when I was in from 1 and 2…the rest of the time, I was very lazy and passive…Although, sometimes I played football just for fun during my U years…If not, nobody would called me Shaggy Henry for nothing, surely there was some kind of exceptional skills, composure, speed, accuracy, balance, strength, determination, stamina, endurance, technique blabla2 (list down all the attributes from Championship Manager game) that I’ve acquired…

During primary school, my favorite subject was on the middle of the time table…’Waktu Rehat’…this was the time we ‘learn’ new things, like, how to play jengket, aci ligan, aci sembunyi, bola soleh, tudung botol, batu lambung, zzzz etc…that’s why I flunked most of the time during those days…

It was also my favorite subject during my secondary school…But of course, the only activity can be done was zzz and eat other people’s share of food at the dining hall..gile keji…I like Science and Maths, while Living Skills & English was okay but I HATE HISTORY! In my later years, I kinda like Physics although I couldn’t score it…I also sucked in Add Maths but I had a very great teacher who never gave up on me…I’ve got my ONLY A1 in Add Maths in my lifetime during the SPM papers…I was surprised, so did her and some of my friends who were expected to get A1 as they scored brilliantly on their trial and test paper, only end up getting A2 (tetibe jadi riak ni, nauzubillah!)…I’ve got a total 3 A1 in SPM, and a ‘Henry’ number on aggregate, but that was it…the rest, I sucked big time…

How about my U days? Emmm…C Programming maybe, and some Computer subjects, and surprisingly, ‘Projek Tahun Akhir’…but in reality, I didn’t really focuses on any of the subject too much, that’s why I faltered too many times and deservedly to be kicked out, but wasn’t…This was probably due to my ‘change of direction’, when I knew I could be one heck of a Post-Production Editor..

I also want to reserve this one…stay tuned

Most of the time, I pissed them as I was not always serious on doing something…Or even I was actually serious, I didn’t LOOKED serious…One of my major weaknesses is that while I cared for other people, I couldn’t show it, or do not know how to show it…I’ve made a lot of people disappointed in me, and some of it was truly REGRETTABLE…If only there is a time machine…

It is written in my IC that I’m a Malay, so I take it as it is…But there’s a bit twist and turns about my ancestors…Mama told me once that I am having a SULTAN’s bloodline somewhere from Sumatra, you know, kaum kerabat keturunan diraja like that…I couldn’t remember who it was, but nonetheless, you guys and girls should BOW down to me, and GROVEL at my feet, HAHAHA..poyoss…We even had this adat turun temurun that every child that born at my Mama’s side will have this kind of ‘jinjang’ rituals, where we will wear official Sultan clothes (Yellow), and the parents (the one with bloodline) will walk their child on some kind of flowery stuffs scattered on the carpet…There were all those kinds of traditional things like sireh, gambir, kemenyan, kapur, pinang etc and the ‘perasap’ thing…I think there could be a photo of me doing the walking so let me dug into my old family photo collection and upload it here…Heck, I don’t even recall if I ever did that, but I noticed my other siblings photos of the jinjangs…It could be lurking somewhere…

Maybe people can understand me better more than I understand myself! Nuff said…

Hmm…how should I say this…Depending whether the kids are really kids or spoiled brat…I don’t like brats, especially those who cried without reason…it makes me to ‘give’ them a reason, either by hand or feet..But babies are always cute to see, to touch, and to feel the soft, yet delicate skin…for those handle less and hyperactive kids, I usually let them do whatever they want as long as they don’t annoy me and break my things…

Yes, I’m selfish…don’t know what else to say..

I can sew buttons, patch a hole and reattach loose fabric…usually this happens as I have the tendency to pull out ‘lost’ threads on the clothes as it doesn’t look nice…But I only know the very basic technique – Jahitan Kia…or another ‘blasah-kan-aje-asal-cantum’ technique…I don’t know how to operate a sewing machine as well, manual or electric..

Some of the favorites:

i) Sleeping – I’m too lazy to lift my butt, so stay put and continue with the last alphabet non-stop.

ii) Computers & Internet – especially the latter…There’s no life without the internet… (There’s even no life WITH the internet either)…especially downloading loads of stuffs at torrents, like music, warez & movies…I used to play computer games quite frequently, but now I haven’t had much time to do it…

iii) Reading – I used to collect PC Magazines monthly, but now I selectively buy when I have the money and depending on the cover story (and cover girls as well :p)…magazines like HWM, PC.com, T3, Max-it, Stuff are the frequent ones, I seldom buy Chip and PCPlus (read: thin zines)…Majalah PC? Ewwwww.…But then again, since I’ve been possessed with the curse of the Internet, I almost don’t have the time to read all of the zines as all those techies and gizmos news can be read online anyway…Anyway, besides magazines and internet, newspaper is another source of knowledge…I like The Star, especially the sports and cartoon section…and of course, In Tech pullouts..

iv) Blogs – reading and writing crappish…like this one…although, lately I am out of ideas…every time always repeating the same story, with about the same sentence and structure…trips, friends’ marriages, foods (bulah), works etc...But of course, that’s life, and that’s what’s happening around me and you every day…

v) Post-Production Editing – is this a hobby? It’s more likely an ambition…Doesn’t necessary complicated stuff like I did the BVC DVD…something simple like converting MPG to XVID format, synchronizing subtitles with movies, enhance the quality of audio for music video (cutting, normalizing, compressing etc), photoshopping pictures and all the rest..

vi) Karaoke – I put this point as whether the original tagger, Achique, wants to know if I like to karaoke or not…well, this is not really my hobby, but I can always join if there’s some friends want to hang out…BUT, what I hate karaoke the most is that, there are only SELLOUT songs in the damn jukebox! I cannot sing any of these songs; I’m a ‘ganaz’ type of person hahaha…but still, I did attempt some whichever I know the lyrics…like Ekamatra or Phil Collins…[more one these points when I write about music]

Oklar, I think I’ll tag….anyone who read this blog…I dare you...
