'Safe Wedding New 2008'

It is now offical Edi aka Adi II entitled as ‘laki orang yang sah’. All of us, his close friends attended to witness his ‘menamatkan zaman bujang’ ceremony yesterday at his residence. We have been waiting for this moment to see his ‘first time experience’ to dress in dastar, keris, sinjang bebunga and kasut bekilat as well. As we arrived at the residence, we immediately ambushed the groom’s room. He was preparing for the ‘keramat’ attire. We took pictures and then inquiring type of accessories he was wearing ; what type of keris he was holding? why the star on the dastar was up side down?, what type of bunga sinjang he was bearing etc etc. As for departing to bride’s residence, I was in charged to drive the groom safely to his new authentic realm as anak menantu together with kulin as his ‘pemigang payung’, the pengapit and the pengangun. We arrived to the bride’s at 1 pm, I can see he was turning white and nervous as the pengapit told him “tau kao pusing naga? 3 kali nie” I smiled and just keep my mouth shut. As the groom and the pengapit went out, me and dillah took his luggage out. As we moved towards the car, I don’t see the pusing-naga anymore, what I saw was kulin left behind and I doubt him sampat memayungi c Adi…. Hahah it all happend so fast. I wondered if they were really doing the '3 X pusing naga'. But Alhamudullilah, everything went well as planned, objectives achieved (ewahh, mcm evaluation arah lesson plan bunyinya kehkehkeh). After the photo shooting session, we were ready to go home, surprisingly the ‘pengangun’ was still there and asked me ‘balik tah ketani lai ?’ and stepped into the groom’s car. Gosshhh.. this poor old lady must be left by the bus… jahanam punya bas!. Where the hell was the pengapit and others?... pity her, she was waiting inside the groom’s car.. membari rawan hati. We told the pengangun that it was not my car, but we assured her not to worry and to send her back home.

Anyway, I m glad finally Adi II moves one step ahead in his life cycle. He was one of my very best pal back in the secondary school years. I still remembered when we were all teenagers, we explore the world together, made the world upside down... stubborn, troublesome, inda senonoh, rambut panjang dapan surung dalam pakai songkok, inda tah kao malu tu hahah but on other hand, I respect him as he is loyal to his friends, never let his friends drown, helpful, open minded and apparently, he was the one who taught me to be always well-organised on my stuffs. I wish all the best to you bro! grasp tight our sense of brotherhood, all for one and one for all... pesss!

A radical comeback !

When I first listened to Cavalera conspiracy that was introduced by Abg Hasrin form his handphone, I knew that I was listening from the pioneers. It sounds so fimiliar and reminds me to the 80 and 90's era. Abg Hasrin told me it was a side band project from Cavalera's brothers. Damn... I mean double damns, I adore sepultura since their Schizophrenia's to their Chaos A.D and ROOT as well. Since then, I m not participate Sepultura because Max left the band. I listened to new Sepultura and Soulfly though, but I m expecting something sounds like 'beneath' and 'arise' albums. I m more into 'old' Sepultura then the recent albums. As I listened to Cavalera Conspiracy, I was eager to listen more from them and cant wait for a full length from abg hasrin.

Finally, I listened to their full album 'inflikted'.. Goosebumps, adrenaline, proud and all other unspoken feelings were all there and mixed together as I listened to all of the tracks. All in all it reminds me to 'beneath the remain' and 'Arise' as well. I must say it is an explosive unleashed by cavalera's. Their powerful guitar riffs which always synchronize with the drums are their trademarks! and thats what I called 'radical comeback from pioneers'. As Max cavalera said in their website "you bottle a monster for 10 years and let it out. Its explosive, we waited for a long time for this beast to be set free". I always wondering if there will be a band playing like Sepultura after Max Cavalera left? thats because I miss the 'teamwork' soundings produced by Max together with Igor, Andreas and Poulo.. they have the chemistry of being together. Now Cavalera Conspiracy granted my wish even without Andreas and Poulo. I rate this album 4.5 out of 5, its awesome!

p/s: For those who are into ol-skool Sepultura might love it !

Peace loving Sunday

‘Morning breakfast ride’ with my cousins is what I craved for this weekend. Actually I planned to go at 7am in the morning so I can feel the morning breeze on my face. Unfortunately, I woke up late… mannn not again!, abg hasrin massaged me at 7 but I was not alerted by the massage tone!. I took my shower instantly as kulin massaged me around 8. Abg Hasrin intended to go to KB but we went to sengkurong instead, due to fickly weather forecast. We stopped somewhere at tanjung bunut for the 'breakfast session'. The ride was pleasant, the weather was beautiful, it was cloudy but no sign to rain. We sat for half and hour, discussing where to go. Since the weather was still unpredictable, we agreed to ride back home. Along the way home, I believe kulin may still want to ride with his new bike. So I decided to extend our route to lamunin. As we passed kiudang.. the weather changed drastically, man... it was freaking hot, it seemed that we entered to a different zone “panas hingga ke tungking” and it was dry and sometime I felt that we were covered in dust as big trucks passed by “buleh radang paru-paru olehnya” . Before went back home, we stopped at Pantai seri kenangan’s restaurant for refreshment. After a little chit-chatted, we then back to our domain for 'bed diving' and of course to continue my unfinished task. Buat LP lah apa lagi

After I finished my LP, I was ready to ride again and of course with kulin. Pet came and wanted to join us, thus made us trio heading to JB. At JB, there were others pending for 'sunset ride'. We went to pantai (again) but it was not as 'happening' as it was in the morning and it was not worthy to make a stop; less crowd, the sun was covered by clouds meaning 'no sunset' to stare. So I decided to bring the convoy to Telisai. It was a nice ride with a 'just nice' speed which was 80MPH. We stopped somewhere at telisai's gerai for air piasau. We took pictures and as usual no face of me... They sky seemed to cry, there were thunders spotted at the horizon, hence we decided to go home.



P/s: Thanks suji for ur 'babeh'.. peace to u brader!

Finally, its a glide... its a GLIDEEE

After days of waiting, finally the super glide custom is ready to roar on the road, but wait… since it is still fitted with stock muffler so it is better to say “ready to glide along the road”. Kulin called me at 3:30 and ready to take his bike. Actually I was with Suji at JB for a drink while waiting for his call. We moved to the harley agent at 3:45, as we arrived, the first impression that came on to my sight was his bike plate numbers… it was huge with a ‘new’ registration numbers heading.. KPXXXX it is, and Suji translated it as ‘Kepala Polisi’ hahah. Kulin circles the harley’s building twice as his first ride on his new harley. I brought his bike home since he was lacking on safety riding precaution, he wore slippers ! hahah, and probably he still not confidence to ride back home yet. So I took this opportunity to be honoured to sit, to explore and to ride on his brand new bike.

My first impression on this super glide was its riding position, I love the mid control which made me feels like I was riding on a vantage bike. Furthermore the handlebar suits the feel of vantage. Anyhows, I prefer if it is installed with mini ape hanger, I reckon it much more comfortable and may looks and feels 'bastard and outrage' hahaha. Secondly, the torque was powerful and smooth as I shifted from gear 3 till 6, it was so feels like gliding on the road (no wonder it is named as 'super glide'). I love the suspension, very reliable indeed, especially during my cruising on the super bumpy highway with potholes everywhere!... It doesnt spoil my feel of riding, I just want to ride on and on to the horizon. Anyway, Kulin if you are reading this you must take note on your exhaust system, it needs something,... I mean something that make your bike roar!. Wooops... ghost rider is on HBO. So till next time... pess to all riders and ride on!


A short briefing on "hows the bike works"

Evening in Jacuzzi

I found my $5's goggle and it gave me an idea to call sydan and pijal for JPMC gym activity. Sydan were set to go but not pijal because he has something to do. This time we went at night and we were expecting less people. As we arrived it was more or less like our last visit, there were peoples in the gym but not crowded, mostly on the treadmills. But we don’t really care on the gym, we were there for the same reason as before ; to swim, steam bath and of course jacuzzi as the finale. Sydan taught me how to swim “kuak dada” in proper way so I wont get exhausted easily. Sydan managed to finish about 20++ laps (which he likely to refer as 10++ laps because he counted up and down the pool as a lap), while me, I think not even reached to 10 hahah… but its okey for a beginner like me. Furthermore, the water keeps entering my eyes !. Mannn.. I need a new branded goggle. For the steam bathing activity, it took 10 minutes then we jumped to Jacuzzi bathtub. I felt so peaceful to sit in the warm bathtub with the persistence ‘water massage’ around my body. I don’t know how long we were sitting in the Jacuzzi, what I knew the ‘flowing water pressure’ started to slow down. Of course it indicates that they were closing. I suppose our Jacuzzi activity took more than 30 minutes… but still I don’t feel enough. How I wish I have one in my room so I can sit as long as I want and to skin dip while watching movie!

After the SSJ's activity (swim, steam, jacuzzi), we went to Jerudong park for refueling our cholesterol hahaha. Yes, 'tungking', of course... what else?!. We ate tungkings with plain rice together with chicken's wings and scramble eggs. It was to ensure the equilibrium of our cholesterol level in the body hahah. All in all, these activities made us starve to death so eat 'tungkings' is the best diet kehkehkeh... Anyway, DAMAIIII to jacuzzi as well tungkings!

I share

I love this keychain, it belongs to Suji. I met him at JB today. Kulin was also there as well DD (suji's madam). Talking about the keychain, it reminds me how 'crazy' I was to have a pair of them long time ago. By the way, im still a chuck taylor’s fan though. I wore chucks since I was in secondary school and until now Im still bearing them especially those all stars chucks. My first pair was black in colour that I bought it from Miri. I still remember how excited I was wearing my first chuck with red and white laces. As my feet grew, I keep on buying them and put them on until they rip apart. I wore chucks almost everywhere and almost in all occasions. I remembered a day I went to campus wearing my ‘ol-skool hi-top’ red chuck and one of my friend said “suka kao pakai kasut raga ani” I smiled and said “ia tah ganya kasut ku nie!”. Nowadays, I have 4 pairs to wear and all of them are my best outfits. I have 1 pair of blue-lo-top, a pair of red hi-top, 1 pair white-blue double upper, 1 pair of blue-jean-hi-top. Mannn... CHUCK RULES!

Anyway, our hang out at JB was amusing and bursted with laughters. We talked mostly nonsense, 'labih imagine' and "too much TV". It all started when suji told us how he wish to win at casino. All of us including pet and coach (whose just arrived) falled into fantasy as if we are zillionares or lebih kaya dari kekanda abdul wahub. All of us were discussing what will we do. what to buy, what will happen etc etc (coach, if you are reading this "sudah ko practise cara menghambur duit?").Then we were discussing what will happen if we have a long neck ?. This conversation was all bursted out after coach told us that he has sore throat. Everyone made assumptions and it was all funny... just imagine, how will you have a normal haircut at kadai kaling? sleep on a normal bed? brush your teeth in the morning with your normal hands length?... tunduk pulang barus gigi hahaha. The conversation was getting chaotic when Suji asked me where are the other suitable places for our eyes instead on the head?. The conversation was all nonsense but its fun though ! at least hilang jua stress.


Before I went home, I ordered 'nasi ayam penyek'. I cannot stop thinking of this menu since I first tried it. The ayam is dry and the belacan is superb! hot and spicy. Deus came from football match. Actually, all the guys planned to jam but since deus looked exhausted so we just cancelled the 'jamming session'. Abg Hasrin and kak DD came just before I went home. Until next time.... PEACE to nasi ayam penyek!.

Starter pack

Alriteeey, after several delays finally i m here to blog or should I say to 'share' my 'it's my life' routine. Actually Ive started 'blogging' in my E90 and Im just waiting for a suitable time to upload. But errr, let me do this way, I ll start my blog from the time I attended 'harley launching' in polo club Jerudong till this recent day.


On 11th April, afternoon, i went to polo club with kulin, suji and julidin for 'harley 2008 launching'. We came 30 minutes early. We have nowhere to go except to wait until the occasion starts at 4. Finally i heard rumbles, the harley riders arrived. There were about 20 or so. At the entrance, we were given souvenirs, consists of harley keychain, a sticker, a 2008 harleys broacher and 2 necklaces beads (?!). I wondered why do they gave us the beads? I assumed the 2 necklaces to represent the 105th anniversary colours scheme since all of us were given black and bronze necklaces. At the occassion, there were about 10 brand new 105th harleys were on display. Somehow, Ive seen all these harleys at the agent. I went to the occasion just to see harleys on the road ! Especially those converted harleys.



Some converted and unique harleys






There are more pics, but m not that patience to wait for the 'long time' upload



On 12th, at 8++pm i went to panchor for family gathering and went back home at 10. Surprisingly, the internet worked after 3 days time-out and it was fast, i mean real fast with no stupid buffers!. I thought i was wrong when i opened a website, i assumed it was because of the cache or the temporary files. So i cleared all the temporary files and refresh. As i clicked the IE again, the page appeared with unbelievable speed. It something wired happened, the ping reply from brunet was still 'down'. But who cares as long as i can surf in high speed.

On 13th, my phone rang in the very morning, abg hasrin called and planned for a ride. I called kulin and daliz if they want to join. Kulin was of course very excited after his long await. We planned to ride since monday, unfortunately there were so many things to overcome thus I cancelled most of the plans. It was like a dream came true, we rode along tutong to bsb road. Our first stop was at jing chew for breakfast + noodles. Then we continued the ride to hutan simpan berakas beach. It was pretty shocking as we entered, there were so many humps along the road!. I was thinking how kulin will be able to pass all the humps as he rode pet's bike which is in lowered suspensions. Finally we arrived to the end of the road and stayed for fresh air without refreshments (where the hell all the hawkers go?). Kulin looked uncomfortable as he kept on thinking on passing back all the humps. We assured him that everything will be fine. We let him lead the way all the way back out. He struggled especially to the first two humps on the steep side. Finally he managed to pass all the humps and he looked relief plus horrify, just like abg hasrin's statement "mcm keluar dari penjara usulmu".






I rode suji's bike and it feels "frgheeedom"



We continued our ride to harley's agent. Abg hasrin intended for a stop and to look for kulin's bike. Sharifah told me that my harley probably arrive at november. Will im be able to wait such periods?. Hemmm... Then our ride continued, we passed the capital before we went back home. Afternoon, went to jpmc for swimming, sauna and jacuzzi with Sydan. It was very nice to sit and relax in the jacuzzi bathtub. I felt unsatisfied and i need more time to sit in jacuzzi as they closed it at 6.30.

And today, sit back and relax at home and of course 'blogging' (my new activity! hahah) while Suji is playing his 'black jack' via facebook. He looks a bit strange, I was pretty shocked as he came to my house, he is now bald!... I mean virtualy bald. He with his new Castelo's look heheh. Anyway, his leg looks fine, no more bandage wrapped around his leg but still need the 'sticks' for support. Actually we want to accompany kulin to Harley agent (again!) for signing agreement. But still no face of him after he said "sekajap, makan ku dulu !".

Anyway, take a look at this pic. Guess what? Of course, this is what it look like after 2 weeks from leg surgery. It's suji's leg that I just snapped couple of minutes ago (which mean it still fresh ! hahah). How I wish to pull out one of the stitch (or maybe maybe staples... i dont noe). Anyway get your leg well soon bro or I ll keep your bike forever hahaha. Until now, DAMAI !
