I was scouring the internet just now when I bump onto his blog, It is miraculous how things turned out to be, actually I'm planning something big by the end of this year and am thinking of letting them know, unfortunately he disabled his comment box, so I can't get to him. But if U do come across this post, please do visit my fb page (its my name) for a very important message. The year was mid 2005 to mid 2007, I landed in Seremban after six months of unemployment eating bugs and out of no where being offered a course in entrepreneurship, with a peanut allowance and accommodation, I grab it and went there. After three months of in classroom training  finally they sent us for internship program with some company around Seremban. Where me and my girl friend (girl who is my friend) after a tough and competitive interview succeeded in a company specializing in human resource. After three months we were hired as full time employees there. It ...

Sharing is caring

A few years ago I was a substituted teacher, One day, I have three classes half an hour after recess, just a few minutes after all the student entered the room, the room was filled with strong unpleasant smell, as if somebody is frying shit there, literally. So I asked, "Do you took your bath before coming to school?" One of them answered, "Yes we did but if you smell shit it's coming from this guy, even the teacher before you have complained" pointing at ..... In defense, the kid answered, "I took a dump at recess," said him smiling. "Clearly U didn't washed it properly", said I. As the T&L is going on, the smell becomes more intense to an extend it was unbearable anymore, so I ask him to go and wash again, "Use more water and take your time this time, please" 20 minutes later he came back, but the smell didn't go away completely, it was not as strong as before but is still there, sizzling. clearly his pants had been co...

The Dessert Flower

It was in the early 90's again. I was in the class room in form one. We were learning Arabic, suddenly one of my classmate rise his hand and ask the teacher. "Is it true Zainab means cow shit?" The teacher, an ustaz, is one of our school's most notorious and one of the discipline committee, of course. When he's around even the funniest becomes humorless. How ever our friend here doesn't show any sign of joking, he gave a straight and query face confidently and convincingly. The ustaz pause for a moment draging the whole class to a complete silence, his eye balls move up and down as if he's scanning our friend for any sign of fooling around. After awhile, may be satisfied finding nor presence of joking element on our friend, he answered, "No, who spoke such nonsense, Zainab is a good name meaning desert flower". Everybody felt relief nobody got in trouble that day, and no body laugh at that incident even after class. Four year...

HammmZAH! He sneezed

Image
It was in the early 90's. I was sent to learn the Quran by my parents to one of our learned man in the village, we call him Pak Hamzah. It is a custom at that time in every village for children to learn the Quran after school and khatam (finished reciting the whole Quran with good tajwid) before setting out to secondary school. The school was his house, a traditional, Malay wooden house. We were to read at the hall, an opening where most modern house would sit the TV and sofa, but here is just an empty opening. There were no monthly fee nor monetary obligation whatsoever. We bring our own Quran and rehal (a contraption to sit the Quran), as the Quran is holy and it is unethical to put It directly on the ground where people usually stepped on. The T&L was easy, three hours, from two to three we recite on our own, new comer will learned from the senior and practice reciting in front of the senior, from three to five Pak Hamzah will appeared from the adjac...

My School Bully Didn't Make It

Image
It was a hot afternoon. I just parked my car  and about to enter the bank when the door was opened for me by  the security guard at the door, he greeted me, 'afternoon sir' with a humble voice, so humble that I almost missed it. I, wasn't looking and replied, 'Afternoon' strong and firm. after finishing some business at the counter i left for the door, again the door  sprang  opened for me with a greet, 'Thank you sir come again' it's that humble voice  again. 'Thank  You' I replied with a nod and a quick glance. As I aproached my car, suddenly I realized that that face seems familiar,but i didn't recall. I didn't look back, for fear that that guard might think i'm gay. I got myself in the car, quickly wore a shades- shades is very important when conducting surveillance-  and drove by, when I took another look carefully  it's  confirmed that the guard was once my school bully. The year was 1993  to  1995, Once h...

THE REQUEST BOOTH

Image
The following takes place between the year 2000 and 2004, In my students days there is a group whose many considered extremist because of their fundamentalist view of the world. To me the group wasn't extreme but the correct term to define them is LOST. Once, after many years of condemning how things were run at the campus, they were given a chance by the University to take over and run thing 'the righteous way'. So they took over and run it with their own definition of righteousness. So as I was coming back from a lecture, i visited one of its booth, namely the request booth. A request booth offer service to send card with gift to a friend to their door step, the gift usually flowers, candy or fruit -usually a friend of the opposite sex, its kinda like a romantic thingy to send someone gift and not delivering it yourself. Back to the group, I'm not planning to send any but something attracts me from afar, As I approach the bo...

True story.. Pada suatu hujung minggu, Zamrian telah mengajak Ej, Wee Wee, Kimi dan Stephenson ke rumahnya di Melaka. Disebabkan mereka semua kaki adventure, mereka tidak menggunakan lebuh raya PLUS tetapi menggunakan jalan lama Mantin untuk ke Melaka. Sudah lama bertolak dengan kereta Kancil mata bulat, mereka pun sampai la di bandar Seremban. Ketika itu Ej yang memandu kereta. Tiba di satu simpang Ej telah tersalah masuk simpang. Disebabkan kawasan tersebut berbukit dan Ej baru sahaja mendapat lesen yang sememangnya fobia degan bukit pada ketika itu, tugas untuk memandu di serahkan kepada Stephenson. Tanpa berlengah Stephenson terus memandu menuruni bukit tanpa menghidupkan enjin kereta. Oleh kerana enjin kereta tidak dihidupkan, kereta kancil yang di pandu Stephenson telah mencium belakang sebuah kereta Daihatsu Charade Aura gara-gara brek tidak makan. Ej and the gang panik dengan apa yang berlaku. Mereka semua keluar dari kereta beramai-ramai untuk...

True story.. Ej, Arlong dan Zamrian merupakan classmate kelas bahasa arab. Mereka bertiga baru sahaja menyambung pengajian mereka di IIUM. Disebabkan mereka mengambil jurusan Human Sciences, mereka terpaksa mengambil kursus bahasa Arab seperti ditetapkan oleh pihak universiti. Yang peliknya kesemua subjek dalam Human Sciences diajar dalm bahasa Inggeris, tidak ada satu pun dalam bahasa Arab. Selama 3 semester terpaksa dihabiskan untuk belajar bahasa Arab. Kesian mereka. Dalam kelas Arab ini lah mereka mendapat ramai kawan baru terutamanya dari luar negara. Ghulam dari Iran dan Hakkan dari Turki merupakan kawan baik kepada ketiga-tiga mereka ini. Mereka selalu menghabiskan masa bersama-sama samada di luar kampus atau pun di dalam kampus. Pada satu hujung minggu, mereka telah berpakat untuk membawa Ghulam dan Hakkan bersiar-siar di Kuala Lumpur. Tempat yang di kunjungi adalah Muzium Islam, Dataran Merdeka, Masjid negara dan Tugu Negara. Tiba-tiba Ghulam bersuara...

"Anda mempunyai berat badan yang berlebihan? Kami ada caranya yang terbukti berkesan. Pakej 1, di jamin kurus dalam tiga sesi, pakej 2, di jamin kurus hanya dengan satu sesi" . "Wah ini sudah bagus, baik aku cuba pakej satu dulu" kata Zamrian di dalam hatinya. Zamrian terus menghubungi nombor di iklan itu. Tiba hari yang telah ditetapkan, Zamrian terus dibawa oleh pekerja syarikat itu ke sebuah bilik yang gelap. Zamrian terpinga-pinga apabila dibiarkan seorang diri di dalam bilik yang gelap itu. Tiba-tiba lampu bilik di nyalakan dan Zamrian terpandang seorang perempuan cantik di tengah bilik tersebut. Terlopong biji mata Zamrian apabila perempuan cantik tersebut membuka kesemua pakainnya. "Kalau awak dapat tangkap saya, awak boleh buat apa sahaja" kata prempuan cantik tersebut. Tanpa berle...
